M102 Fire Arc
This Golan Arms weapons platform was essentially a repulsor-equipped surface-to-surface projectile launcher. It was manufactured in an attempt to recreate the market for artillery weapons, but the Empire - at whom the vehicle was marketed - had no interest in artillery at the time. The M102 required a crew of four to operate, and used a Tana Ire GroundSweeper-3 sensor array to locate and identify its targets. (ROE)

M1-10
This was the model number of Salus Corporation's Stalker body armor. (SWJ3)

M-12
This was the designation of a class of Imperial sweep bombs manufactured for use by Kuat Drive Yards. The M-12 was a notoriously poor performer in the field, with a failure rate of nearly ten percent. This meant that most Imperial unit demanded a better model, and much of the production run of M-12 bombs was scrapped. They were eventually replaced by devices which had gravity-wave systems built into their casings. However, some twelve million M-12 bombs were never shipped to the Imperial Navy. They were retained by Kuat Drive Yards for testing the armory chambers of their starships. (MA)

M12-L Kimogila
This long-range fighter was the third ship developed by the Hutts and produced by MandalMotors during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The Kimogila was created with a number of weapons emplacements, allowing for a wide range of firepower.

M13
This was the designation of the Imperial repair station constructed in order around the planet Mycroft, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Its mission was to support the Imperial exploration and picket ships operating in Fakir Sector during the Galactic Civil War.

M-18
Designated M-18 by the Chiss, this moon was captured by the planet Mobus, in the Klasse Ephemora System of the Unknown Regions, sometime around the Battle of Yavin. Its mass was more than ten times the combined mass of all the other seventeen moons of Mobus, a fact that intrigued the first Chiss probe to investigate the system. However, no other unusual characteristics were noted, and the probe moved on. Investigation into the records of the Chiss' Expeditionary Library by Luke Skywalker and his fellow Jedi Knights revealed that M-18 might have been the rogue planet Zonama Sekot. (FH2)

M2

These droids were not build for combat, but instead were designed to be administrative organizers and acquisitions experts, offloading these tasks from organic officers. The body of the M-3PO series was the same as the 3PO protocol droid, and the head of the M-3PO was recycled from the KW series of traffic control droids. (EGD)

M-3PO
M-3PO, or Emtrey to the pilots of Rogue Squadron, was a protocol and regulations droid working for the New Republic Navy. He was assigned to Rogue Squadron at the same time Tycho Celchu was named XO, more to keep an eye on Celchu than to provide input on military protocol. (XWN)

Nima was the daughter and only child of Ilov Maas, the Senator from the planet Delphon and an outspoken supporter of Emperor Palpatine. Nima herself saw the Empire as a stablizing force, and worked hard to protect it. As she grew older, Nima was compared in looks and beauty to Riva Denais, a comparison which allowed her to enter places most other women would be forbidden to enter. She offered a large sum of credits for information on Dionisio's location, and Greedo jumped at the money. In reality, Nima was an Imperial agent who had tried to capture Dionisio on her own, but was beaten to the punch by Nok Derrick. Rather than have the near-human extort credit for the information Dionisio might contain, Nima hired Greedo to recover him. Also, Nima feared that Nok Derrick might kill Dionisio if a direct assault was launched. Greedo managed to recover Dionisio, and Nima tried to kill the Rodian to cover up any loose ends. Greedo, however, had a Rodian thrown blade up his sleeve, and managed to kill Nima by placing the knife deep in her throat. (T6, GMR6)

Mack
This alias was used by a man who was a member of the Cularin Militia, after he and his comrades - Pac and Grunt - decided to speak out against the "so-called Expansion Manifesto" that was attributed to Reodo Artom. The trio of soldiers believed that the document was a great description of the morals of exploration, but it failed to take into account the true necessities of combat. They agreed to participate in an interview with Yara Grugara on Eye on Cularin, but the inane reporter made a mockery of their opinions. Mack - a native of Cularin with no love for Thaere - didn’t help matters by admitting that he had only read the Expansion Manifesto just once, and then only certain parts of it. (LFCW)

Mackar
This planet was the original homeworld of the Frid race of Iskalonians. (EGA)

Mackenni, Jorm Whistler
Known by his codename of Twister, this Imperial stormtrooper served as the commander of the Aurek-Seven unit of the Imperial 501st Legion during the years following the formation of the Imperial Remnant and the signing of a peace treaty between the Empire and the New Republic. At the time that Aurek Company and the 501st were assigned to eliminate the Warlord on Kariek, Twister had been with the company for six years, the last two of which he had been their leader. After arriving on Kariek, Aurek Company made contact with a group of Eickarie rebels. Su-mil agreed to help Twister and his troopers enter the Warlord's fortress, on the condition that they freed the Eickaries who were being held prisoner there. Twister reluctantly agreed to the bargain, knowing that his troops needed every advantage they could obtain. He nearly paid for his decision after entering the Warlord's watchtowers, when the Eickarie soldiers Su-mil brought with him froze when confronted by a group of Lakran mercenaries. Twister took a blast full in the chest, but his armor and the relatively weak Lakran firearms saved his life. Shortly after that, Twister knew he had paid for it when Su-mil tricked them into going one direction, which allowed another group of Lakrans to trap them. It was then that Aurek Company realized they had been betrayed. However, Twister discovered that this wasn't necessarily the case, as Su-mil began pointing his blaster at Twister's eyes as he explained their capture to the Lakrans. Twister realized that Su-mil was indicating truth or lie by pointing at his right or left eye, respectively, as defined by Eickarie defintion. In this way, Su-mil helped the Imperials get deeper into the fortress with minimal bloodshed. They were able to breach the Warlord's main security forces before Su-mil and his Eickarie soldiers captured the Warlord and turned him over to the Imperials. Shortly afterward, Mackenni relinquished command of Aurek-Seven. (FB, SQ)

He replaced Arcel Mosbree, who was arrested for his part in allowing Separatist forces to take Brentaal in the first place. Despite his position, Maclain was despised by the local Customs agency for his willingness to immerse himself in the business of Brentaal, instead of imposing the Emperor's will on the populace. Maclain made a small fortune playing the stock market on the planet, as well as supporting several of the shadier freighter pilots. (SWJ7, PSG, SWI70)

Mactimentus
This insectile being greeted Shandy Fanaso when the starship captain first visited Triton Besh, during the early years of the New Order. As was its duty, Mactimentus presented Fanaso with copies of the Rules of Law for the Domains of Triton and the Tract of Gactimus, before offering to help Fanaso reach the local customs office. When Fanaso returned several weeks later, he was surprised to find that Mactimentus was once again assigned to be his guide. Mactimentus, however, was forced into a minor role when Fanaso explained that he was establishing a cantina completely inside his starship, the Corellian Gambit. Mactimentus could not initially find any reason to shut the place down or impose any taxes on Fanaso's operations, but the insect became increasingly worried about the number of spacers who visited Shandy's Place. He was also worried about the huge number of insects who were forced to wait outside, while their offworld charges drank away the day. No matter how hard Mactimentus tried, the insect could not convince Fanaso to put a halt to his operations and allow the other spacers to experience what the insects' religion had to offer. Fanaso's actions left Mactimentus and the insects with no other choice but to enact forty-three changes to the Rules of Law, which served to prevent any being from making a profit by bypassing the laws. In order to ensure that Fanaso obeyed the new laws, the insects called in Lieutenant Gallagane of Imperial Customs to enforce them. According to the new laws, Fanaso's operations aboard the newly-christened Shandy's Pleasure Palace were outlawed, and the fines that were due could only be paid when the insects confiscated the ship and all its contects. Furthermore, Fanaso was required to perform devotion-service until his debts had been paid off. (OWS)

This Duros mechanic worked at Darknon Station at the height of the Galactic Civil War, repairing starships and barely maintaining the operational status of the station itself. Olev came to Darknon Station after fleeing a group of bounty hunters who were trying to bring him in to repaid some old gambling debts. His ship more or less disintegrated after landing at Darknon, and he remained there ever since. (PSPG)

Madak, Sava Brec
This alias was used by Boba Fett when he contracted House Benelex and Jodo Kast. This was part of Fett's plan to get rid of Kast, who had been impersonating Fett in order to make credits as a bounty hunter. Madak was supposedly injured by Satnik Hiicrop, and the injuries left Madak bandaged from head to toe. Hiicrop then posed as Madak, in an effort to obtain credits he wasn't entitled to by himself. This twist on the real-life relationship between Fett and Kast went unnoticed by Kast, who was killed by Fett on Nal Hutta. (GAL6, TOD)

Madakor, Maoi
This woman served as a Captain in the Old Republic Navy, and was the commander of the Radiant VII when it was dispatched to the planet Naboo by Supreme Chancellor Valorum himself, just prior to the Battle of Naboo. Captain Madakor, who had risen quickly through the ranks on the basis of her excellent performance, delivered Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to the Trade Federation's main ship, and was waiting in the cockpit when Nute Gunray received orders to destroy the ship and the Jedi. Madakor and her co-pilot, Lieutenant Williams, were killed when the Radiant VII was destroyed while waiting in its hangar, after Nute Gunray and the Neimoidians of the Trade Federation were ordered to kill the Jedi by Darth Sidious. (CCG13, SWI68, OWS)

Madame Atuarre's Roving Performers
This was the assumed name used by Han Solo, Atuarre, Pakka, and Bollux as they pretend to be entertainers from the Imperial Entertainment Guild, in order to try to gain access to the Stars' End prison facility, several years before the Battle of Yavin. Viceprex Hirken had requested a new set of entertainers, but the original troupe had to delay. Han managed to intercept the message from Hokkor Long that apologized for the delay, and created Madame Atuarre's Roving Performers as the replacement act. Playing on their individual strengths, Atuarre played a dancer, Pakka played an acrobat, and Han was the Master Marksman. Bollux was along for the ride, since Hirken's request specifically asked for a droid. When they arrived, however, they discovered that Hirken had been expecting a gladitor droid. Hirken became suspicious when Bollux didn't appear when the fighting began, and realized that he had been duped when the droid was unable to even bring a weapon to bear. (HSE)

Madine, Crix
A Corellian General with the Alliance, Crix Madine had a strict military background that was formed during years of service to the Imperial Academy and the Empire. A graduate of the Raithal Academy, Madine took pride in the fact that, regardless of other Imperial squadrons' tactics, his team never took unneessary liberties during a a battle. However, when he began to see that his personal tactics were never going to be accepted, he tried to accept the Empire's ways himself. When this failed, he decided that it was time to seek out the Alliance.

Using information on the Darktrooper project of Rom Mohc, Madine made his first contact with the Alliance. After his Storm Commandos were ordered to release the Candorian Plague on Dentaal, any vestige of support for the Empire left Madine completey. He erased all Imperial records of himself and sought out the Alliance. Mohc tracked him down and imprisoned him at Orinackra, but Kyle Katarn managed to rescue him. He later made contact with his old friend, Carlist Rieekan, who put in some good words for him.

When the Alliance accepted Madine, his Imperial training made him the logical choice to plan the assault on the second Death Star. There were rumors that the true reasons behind his defection deal with the receipt of a set of highly-criminal orders from Emperor Palpatine himself. They so assaulted his sensibilities that he lef the Empire.

After the Battle of Endor, he turned down a seat in the New Republic's Inner Council, preferring to remain with the Republic's growing military. He became the Republic's commander of Special Forces, drawing together a crack team of commandos who were prepared to enter any situation for the sake of the Republic. Not many of his accomplishments were known, due to the fact that many of them were secret in nature.

The one mission that was lauded by the New Republic, unfortunately, was also his last. He had taken a small team to infiltrate the Hoth asteroid field and determine the status of Durga the Hutt's Death Star revision, the Darksaber. A series of mishaps left Madine alone; Korenn had died entering the asteroid field, and Trandia died giving Madine a hope for escape. Madine chose not to escape, and was captured by Durga's alien guards. Durga, pleased with himself for hatching the Darksaber plot and capturing Madine, executed Madine with a blaster bolt through the heart. (E6, DFR, DESB, SWJ4, DS, NEGC, OWS)

Madiry, Hela
A native of Jabiim, this aging woman worked as a clerk in the Accounting division of the Grand Army of the Republic's logistics center on Coruscant, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. About a year after the Battle of Geonosis, Madiry was identified as the source of a series of leaks of information on GAR troop movements and dispostions that were traced to a series of terrorist bombings at military facilities on Coruscant.

Owned by a Snivvian named Goontirk, the ship provided viewers with some of the most bizarre items imaginable. The ship met its demise when it crashed into the planet Engebo V, shortly after Goontirk acquired amummy which he claimed was that of "Archregent Vardovin IV, Lost King of Duro." The mummy contained more than a dozen skekfish eggs, which hatched when the ship was passing near Engebo V. The skekfish attacked everything in sight, and the crew of the Madman's Fortune was killed. (WOA10)

Madoom, Ten-Suckers
This Rodian bounty hunter got into trouble with one of his employrs, and found himself with a bounty on his head. He went underground, adopting the alias Deeto and spending time playing sabacc. However, when he got angry with Raal Yorta during one match, Madoom drew his custom-made Widowmaker blaster in an attempt to kill the other man. This only confirmed what Raal had believed: that Deeto was just an alias. Raal and his partner, Sammie, captured Madoom and turned him in for the bounty on his head. It was ironic that Ten-Suckers Madoom had actually lost two of his fingers in an earlier firefight, leaving him with just eight suckers. (RR, OWS)

Madurrin
This Anx was trained by Luke Skywalker in the Jedi arts, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She later volunteered to help with the war effort, but her four-meter-tall frame was unsuitable for starfighter combat. Instead, Madurrin served aboard the Mon Adapyne, as the official Jedi Knight liaison. Madurrin's role on the Mon Adapyne was to participate in the Jedi Force-meld developed by Jacen and Jaina Solo, helping to coordinate the activities of naval vessels in their struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong. Madurrin was ultimately one of the handful of Jedi Knights to survive the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, and he chose to remain as a Jedi advisor to Supreme Commander Traest Kre'fey and the Galactic Alliance military. (DW, UF)

Madware
This was the term used to describe the terrorist programming developed by the Separatists during the Clone Wars. Madware was created to override the normal programming of a droid, causing it to do all manner of deadly and destructive things. Separatist agents used microwave technology to insert madware into a large number of the droids that supported the Old Republic, causing the loss of life and property on many planets. (YDR)

Maedano
This barren ball of rock was the second planet of the Metellos System. It was orbited by a single moon. (CCW)

Maelibi
This alien race, native to the planet Iego, was known as demons by those beings who had visited the planet. They were less well-known than the Diathim, primarily because the Maelibi lived belowground and rarely left the planet itself. They were said to resemble the Diathim, although they lacked the wings of the other race, and were generally considered even more beautiful. The humanoid bodies of the Maelibi seemed to be formed from molten gold, and their lyrical voices were said to be the embodiment of music itself. However, they earned the nickname Demons because of their feeding habits. The Maelibi preyed on those beings who had been stranded on Iego, dragging them screaming beneath the surface of the planet. A single individual was referred to as a Maelibus. (WOTC, GORW)

Maelibus
This was the name of a single member of the Maelibi race. (GORW)

Maelstrom
This unusual area of space, located near the Relgim Sector, was dominated by a huge, nebula-like cloud of charged space dust and raw energy. This combination of attributes scrambled most starship sensor systems, hindered their communications, and confused hyperdrives and navigational computers. Thus, most ships were forced to revert from hyperspace to realspace in order to traverse the Maelstrom. This led to a rise in piracy near the Maelstrom, since the ships coming out of hyperspace had very little warning of what lay near the cloud, and they could not send a distress signal to ask for assistance. (RM)

Maelstrom
This was the name of the warship assigned to Jedi Master Darrus Jeht, during the height of the Clone Wars. Master Jeht and his small fleet were dispatched to liberate the world of Kromus, only to discover that their arrival was already anticipated by the droid armada encircling the planet. They were later recalled to Coruscant in an urgent message from the office of the Supreme Chancellor himself, which led Jeht into a series of unorthodox missions that were ordered from the Chancellor's office, rather than from the Jedi Council.

Among these missions was the destruction of the Separatist vessel Shadowblade, which Master Jeht believed had been eliminated. These missions also kept Jeht away from Coruscant, and allowed Darth Sidious to issue the command to execute Order 66 without interference. Jeht, however, had felt the effects of Order 66 through the Force, and managed to avoid being killed through a series of risky and dangerous ruses that kept his own clone troopers out of the communications loop.

Jeht then ordered his clones to return to Cularin, where he hoped to rescue the Jedi at the Almas Academy. He arrived after the Republic gunships Primal and Undaunted launched their attack on the Cularin System, and began targeting all fleeing vessels in the hope of killing any escaping Jedi. Master Jeht put the Maelstrom through a series of dangerous maneuvers, allowing him to eliminate the two Republic gunships. However, shots from the Primal damaged one of the Maelstrom's engines, and her weapons core were burned out in the attack. Thus, Jeht feared for himself and his crew when the Shadowblade suddenly appeared in the Cularin System. Unable to maneuver or fire upon the Separatist vessel, Master Jeht planned to ram it with the Maelstrom when his clone troopers identified a temporal rift moving through the Cularin System. Recognizing that he had one chance, Jeht ordered his clones to lock onto the Shadowblade with their tractor beams. He then ordered them to drag both vessels into the path of the temporal rift. In a blinding flash of light and time, the Maelstrom and the Shadowblade disappeared into the rift, and were never seen again. (LFCW)

Maeltorp
This small corporation produced a variety of repulsor-equipped cargo vehicles during the New Order. (SWJ4)

Maendin, Lar
This native of Vastrip IV was a scout who served the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. He personally located several planets that were later used as bases and safeworlds. However, following the Battle of Endor, Maendin defected from the Alliance and began working as an independent operative. He was known to have sold the locations of Alliance and New Republic bases to the Empire, and all of them have had to be evacuated before Imperial forces destroyed them. He also had been known to scout out remote planets for use by the remnants of the Empire. (WBC)

Maer
This Alliance Corporal was stationed at Echo Base shortly before the Battle of Hoth. An animal expert, Maer served as a tauntaun handler and winter environment expert, and even developed a form of sign language which he used to communicate with the tauntauns. (JKG)

This man served as a Major in the Grand Army of the Republic, and was stationed on Drongar during the height of the Clone Wars. Major Maetrecis was injured in battle, and seemed to contract one of the many unknown diseases that lurked in the swamps of Drongar. His recovery was slow, since the doctors at Rimsoo Seven were unable to ascertain the cause of his problems. In a bold - and highly illegal - action, Doctor Zan Yant began secretly administering doses of processed bota into Maetrecis's system. The results were spectacular, as Maetrecis began recovering almost immediately. Doctor Yant was discovered by his good friend, Jos Vondar, who both understood and decried Yant's actions. (MBS)

This fuel injector was used on pod racers. (RAC)

Maga
This Dantari was the garoo of the tribe which befriended Hoole and the Arranda children, during their flight from the Empire. He held no compassion for them, however, after the Dantari began to notice Tash's small command of the Force and Hoole's ability to change his appearance. Maga eventually reconciled their differences, recognizing that they were no threat to his authority. This was all in an effort to gain their confidence and lure them to the Jedi ruins near the Dantari camp. He urged Tash to enter the ruins, hoping she would disappear and he could regain his tribe's confidence. However, a false clone of Tash attacked the camp while Maga was away, and he was forced to reveal his deception to the real Tash. Maga then went to find his people while Tash searched for her uncle and brother. (GOF11)

Magagran
This planet was held by the Empire during the last years of the New Order. Major Tierce was stationed on Magagran during the Battle of Endor, and thus survived the death of Palpatine. When Tierce learned of the Emperor's death, he jumped ship to return to Coruscant and assess the damage. (SOP)

Magalak
This female Selonian was the champion of the Kurtuln den, which lived beneath Kystes' Spine on the planet Talus, during the height of the New Order. Despite her status as champion, Magalak was considered odd because of her desire to isolate herself from the rest of her den. Magalak was much happier when she was with her band of warriors, hunting along the Spine for intruders. (CCW)

Magaloof
This Leffingite was a small-time thief who was active on the planet Coruscant during the last decades of the Old Republic. When Obi-Wan Kenobi caught Zam Wesell's modified droid ASN-121, he was dragged through the skies of Coruscant and nearly collided with Magaloof, who was joyriding in a stolen airspeeder. He later turned the speeder over to Hat Lo, hoping to impress the crimelord. Hat Lo decided to hire Magaloof, and paired him with Achk Med-Beq as one of his groups of thieves. During an attempt to steal flame gems from a CoCo Town jewelry store, Magaloof was captured by Lieutenant Dannl Faytonni, who forced Magaloof to turn over the gemstones before letting him go free. When Magaloof tried to explain what happened to Med-Beq, he found that his partner had disappeared. Magaloof was eventually captured by actual Republic Security officers, and was imprisoned for three years in the CoCo Penitentiary's moderate security ward. He realized that he had been duped, and Magaloof decided that crime didn't pay. Upon his release, he retired to his homeworld of Almak. (IWE2, SWDB)

Magan
This woman was a native of the planet Hijado. During the early years of the New Order, Magan celebrated the 100th anniversary of his birth, a fact that amazed Doctor Parlay Thorp when she arrived on the planet. (MF)

Maganinny, Makx
This man served the Grand Army of the Republic as a Sergeant, during the height of the Clone Wars. When General Khamar was dispatched to defend the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn, Maganinny was placed in command of the reconnaissance scouts assigned to gather intelligence on the Separatist forces there. Unfortunately for the Republic, they underestimated the strength of the Separatist force dispatched to Praesitlyn, and they found themselved badly outnumbered. During the initial wave of attacks, it was believed that Sergenat Maganinny was overrun and killed. He was rescued by one of his own scouts, Odie Subu, who managed to drag him to a safe location. (JT)

Mageye
A Hutt working in the Stenness System, Mageye was killed by Zardra when he got caught in the crossfire of a battle between the Thig Brothers, Zardra, and Jodo Kast in the Red Shadow bistro. (TME)

Magfield Sensor Ball
This was an outdated form of droid sensory input device was used on Mark II reactor drones and other simple automata. Resembling little more than a metal ball contained in a wire cage, the magfield sensor ball allowed the droid to "understand" its surroundings by sending electronic pulses each time the ball hit the cage. Such contact usually occurred when the droid ran into an obstacle, or began to tip over. Using rudimentary programming, the droid could be taught to interpret certain signals from the cage, and react by moving in another direction. (CVD)

Magg
Magg was born in the Corporate Sector, and grew up learning how to straddle the fence on every issue. This allowed Magg to watch for potential gains before making a jump to one side or the other. He was a short man with black hair, and had a number of talents which made him useful to both Fiolla and the Corporate Sector Authority, including locksmithing and weapons training. Growing up surrounded by the corruption of the Corporate Sector Authority, Magg believed that cutting corners and taking bribes was business as usual. When he was hired as a duty agent by the Authority, he performed his work indutiful fashion, all the while looking for ways to make a quicker credit. His associates labelled him as shady, and the description wasn't far from wrong. Magg began living a double life within his Authority career, ostensibly serving as Fiolla's assistant during the time when she was trying to expose a slavery ring in the Corporate Sector. This was how he met up with Zlarb, after apprehending him in a sting. Magg offered Zlabr freedom for a cut of the action, and the second of his two lives was born. Magg used his Authority contacts to provide information to Zlarb. On Lur, Magg was one of the few slavers to escape when Han Solo refused to accept a shipment of Lurrian slaves, and Zlarb was killed by the slaves. To ensure that he was still seen as a CSA operative, Magg tipped Fiolla off to Zlarb's arrival at Bonadan, even though Zlarb was dead. Magg had planned to eliminate Fiolla and Han Solo together by luring them on a swoop chase, but Han's skills as a swoop racer allowed him to reach freedom. He was identified by Han Solo, much to Fiolla's dismay. Although his ship was shot down over Ammuud, Magg escaped again. However, the slavery ring was eventually smashed by Fiolla, Solo, and Odumin. Investigations revealed that Magg was probably working as the slaver's accountant and security manager. (HSR, CSA)

Maggie
This woman served the Alliance as a starfighter pilot and military officer, during the months following the Battle of Endor. A former Imperial pilot who defected to the Alliance, she was part of the fleet which traveled to Godo, in order to investigate the strange plague that was affecting the Godoan people. (MC99, MC107)

Maggis
This Imperial officer served as a Guardian Advisor at the Imperial Naval Academy on Coruscant, during the early years of the New Order. In this position, Maggis served as the facility's second-in-command, answering to former Senator Sano Sauro. Sauro felt that Maggis was lazy and out of shape, and bristled at having to work with someone who was obviously not cut out to be in a position of authority.

Lieutenant Maggis was in charge of recruit Fortin's orientation, although he was unaware that Fortin was actually Trever Flume. Maggis encouraged Fortin to train as a pilot, provided that he didn't flunk out or gather too many degrades. He was also placed in charge of identifying a candidate for a special project that was being headed by Darth Vader. Although Maggis could think of several candidates, he was maneuvered into choosing Lune Oddo Divinian by Lune's father, Bog Divinian. Shortly after agreeing to Divinian's plans, Maggis found that Lune and Fortin had stolen his security access card. He caught them before they could get very far, then turned Lune over to the Imperial authorities.

He then confronted Fortin, and explained that he had once been a professor of navigation and sublight technology at the Celestial School of Spaceflight Engineering. He was offered a job at the Imperial Naval Academy, and figured that he had better take it. However, Maggis soon learned that he was not cut out to be an Imperial officer, but could not figure out how to get out of the job. He then took Fortin - still unaware of his true identity - and stole a speeder, and together they fled the Academy.

Maggis was later taken in by Dexter Jettster, who arranged for him to be sent to a safehouse. (LJ8)

Maggli, Dairn
This man was a small-time smuggler and gunrunner during the years following the Battle of Naboo. A bounty was posted by the Republic Security Force for his arrest in connection with the hijacking of a Republic transport which had been carrying weapons to Sullust. He was captured on Coruscant by Jango Fett, who was on the planet searching for Jervis Gloom. (BH)

Maggot's Cantina
This offworlders cantina was located in the Anzat Spaceport, on the planet Anzat, during the last years of the Old Republic. (RT)

Maggrit, Alysssa
This young Duros girl was twelve years old when the Clone Wars broke out. She was living in the city of Tolea Biqua, on the planet Genarius, running numbers for her uncle at the time. Her cover was blown when the inept slicer known as wampa1 revealed her name on the HoloNet, believing that the young Duros was actually the slicer known as alyssaroxu. (LFCW)

Maggy the Gorgon's Tavern
Located in a section of Mos Espa not controlled by the Hutts, Shmi Skywalker asked her young son Anakin to get his ruby bliels from this tavern, rather than from the Blue Brubb. They also befriended an old spacer who frequented the bar, and who told them stories of the other planets of the galaxy, as well as stories of the Jedi Knights. (ANA)

Maghook
This small, but extremely powerful cylindrical electromagnet can be fused to the end of a cable and used as a grappling hook. The magnet was activated by the sudden jarring of the magnet itself, and can be deactivated with by twisting a small dial on the magnet. (TA)

Magic Dragon
It was believed that this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was once the flagship of Grand Admiral Miltin Takel, although no record of its existence was ever found. (OWS)

Magic Slug
This was a Basic term used to describe any piece of evidence or knowledge that could bridge a gap between two pieces of otherwise unconnected information. One example of a magic slug was the ability for any being with a minimal midi-chlorian count to tap into and control the Force. It was believed that only those beings with large concentrations of midi-chlorians in their bodies were capable to using the Force. The search for a magic slug that would allow any being to use the Force was a popular pasttime, although such searches were all but forbidden during the era of the New Order. The Jedi Knight Barriss Offee believed that she had discovered this magic slug when she ingested a sample of bota from Drongar, and felt her own connection to the Force being amplified. (CN2)

Magicot
An edible vegetable. (TME)

Magister
This was the title given to the leader of the Ferroan colonists who settled the planet Zonama Sekot. It was the Magister's job to ensure the safety and relative anonymity of the planet above all other things, standing between Sekot and Zonama to ensure balance. Before Sekot took the planet into hyperspace, there had been two Magisters. The first Magister was a Jedi Knight who accompanied the settlers to Zonama Sekot. The Jedi, a small, wiry man, had followed the religion of the Potentium, and had been driven out of the Order for his beliefs. He developed an intense relationship with Sekot, and established the practices of creating wondrous technologies with the help of Sekot. Unfortunately, this collaboration with the planet gave Zonama Sekot the idea that it was a unique individual, rather than the collection of all living things in its environment, which confused the planet and shrouded its view of its existence with uncertainty. The next Magister was a hologram of the original, developed to ensure some form of continuity in the leadership with Sekot. However, the planet had already assumed the identity of the dead Magister, and began to act for itself. The ruse was discovered by Anakin Skywalker and Jabitha, who found the original Magister's body buried in the rubble under Far Distance's mountain location during their flight from Ke Daiv. The illusion was furthered by the addition of holographic representations of the Magister's children. The exact name of the original Magister was considered sacred, and the Zonamans were forbidden to speak it aloud. Obi-Wan Kenobi later learned that the Magister was Leor Hal. After the death of the second Magister, Jabitha herself was selected to serve Sekot. (RP, DW, FH3)

Magister
This was the title assigned to the leader of the Denfrandi people, who were native to the planet Taloraan. (CWWRT)

Magistrate Council
Made up of businessmen and merchants, this was the primary governmental body of the town of Corestrike. Ostensibly, the Council also acted on the behalf of the entire planet of Chrona. (SWJ12)

Maglea, Aneash
This being was one of the most successful racers who ever participated in the Spira Regatta Open. Aneash won several races during the height of the New Order, and was known to hold lavish parties before each race. (GCG)

Maglev Bullet Car
A swift form of transportation, the bullet car was a segmented train - sometimes called a mag-lev train - which ran in tunnels. It rode on rails through which a current was passed. The resulting magnetic field pushed against an opposing field generated by the train itself, propelling it along the track at incredible speeds. (SE, MBS)

Mag-lev Train
This was a form of railway transportation that used magnetic energy to propel the train, rather than nuclear or fossil fuels. When a current was passed through the rails, a magnetic field was created that pushe against an opposing field generated by the train itself, propelling it along the track at incredible speeds. A specialized version of this vehicle, known as a maglev bullet car, ran along a track that was located within a tunnel. (MBS)

Magl'Ikkan Temple
This ancient fortress was built within the Undrarian territory on the planet Baralou. It was located at the base of a huge, underwater mountain, and was carved from the coral reef which grew around it. The Krikthasi revered the temple as a sacred place, and rarely allowed other species to even get near it. (PG1)

Magma Missile
This Yuuzhan Vong weapon was literally a glob of molten metal which could be fired at a target. The magma missile was most often used aboard starfighters and larger warships. (SBS)

Magma Mite
see Mustafar Lava Flea (SWDB)

Magma Pebble
This form of Yuuzhan Vong weapon was a small, thumbnail-sized glob of plasma that was contained in a hard shell. When agitated and throw, the magma pebble heated up and shed its shell, splattering the target with plasma. These small projectiles were often used against battle droids, since the armor plating of the droids melted quickly under the plasma's burst of energy. (NJOSB)

Magma Spitter
This Yuuzhan Vong weapon was used to defend stationary locations. Similar in most respects to a magma missile launching system, a magma spitter ejected small spheres of molten rock at a target. (SBS)

Magma Trooper
This was the term used to describe those specially-trained and outfitted Imperial stormtroopers who worked on volcanically-active planets throughout the galaxy. (VD)

Magminds
A Human League trooper stationed at Corona House following the secession of Corellia from the New Republic. (AS)

Magmine
This was a generic term used to describe any bomb or explosive mine that could be attached to a metal surface with a powerful magnet. (FJ3)

Magna Bolas
Developed on Velusia, this weapon consisted of three magnetic balls attached by a thin metal cord. When thrown, the magna bolas whipped through the air toward their target, creating a distinct sound. When the target was struck, the balls continued to whip around, wrapping the metallic cord around the target and incapacitating them. (CCW)

Magna Caster-100
This unusual weapon was produced by Frohad Galactic Firearms, and was essentially a dart-shooting rail gun which used magnetic resistance to launch the projectile at its target. This made the weapon extremely quiet to use, but they were produced in such small numbers that they were extremely rare on both the open and black markets. (ROE)

Magna Lock
This was the generic term used to describe any magnetically-coupled restraining system, often found in prisons and starship brigs. These locks were preferred over keyed units, because they were virtually unbreakable without the proper security codes or lock-breaking tools. The magna lock was placed around the wrists of a prisoner, and used magentic force to prevent the prisoner from escaping while keeping the prisoner secured in their cell. In large prison facilities, all magna locks used in a given cell block could be powered by a single generator, further reducing the risk of escape. (TFUN)

Magnaband Scope
This form of starship scanner was used to detect the size and shape of an approaching ship. (MC50)

Magnabolt Gun
This was another name for a magnabolter. (JCT2)

Magnabolter
This was a large piece of manufacturing equipment that was used in factories during the final decades of the Old Republic. Magnabolters were also known as magnabolt guns, and were used to insert hot slugs of metal into holes that were pre-drilled into larger sections of metal framework. Then, while the metal was still hot and pliable, the magnabolter flattened the ends to secure the slug in place, solidly securing the two pieces of metalwork. (JCT2)

Magnacuffs
This was a generic term used to describe any form of handcuffs or binders which used magnetic energy to maintain a lock. (GG10)

MagnaForce
Developed and produced by Simcronics, this wrist-mounted personal shield provided a small measure of protection against an attack. It was quite expensive, and only provided about two minutes' worth of protection before the power cells drained. (GFT)

MagnaGuard Fighter
This was the name given to the specialized starfighters that were manufactured for the IG-100 MagnaGuards that made up General Grievous's personal guard, during the height of the Clone Wars. (CWN)

MagnaGuard Manufacturing
This small combat automata manufacturer was contracted by General Grievous to build the IG-100 series of droids. MagnaGuard also produced much of the weaponry used by the IG-100 series. This name was given on the LucasArts Entertainment Company's website for Star Wars - Republic Commando, although most other sources indicate that the IG-100 MagnaGuards were produced by Holowan Mechanicals. (LAWS)

Magnaharness
Similar to magnacuffs, a magnaharness was a restraint system which uses magnetic forces to control a being's body. Depending on the configuration, the harness can restrain arms, legs, hands, feet, or head. (GG10)

Magna-hoist
This was a huge, durasteel-jawed mechanism used in starship construction facilities to grasp and manipulate large, heavy pieces of ships. (HM)

Magnaline 3000
This was a model of airbus that was produced by Go-Corp, during the final decades of the Old Republic. The planetary transportation agencies on Coruscant purchased a large number of these vehicles, to help move beings throughout Galactic City. Six repulsorlift engines gave the Magnaline 3000 lift and maneuverability, while forward thrust was developed by a standard combustion engine system. The pilot and co-pilot operated the vehicle from a cockpit that was located at the rear of the vehicle, on top of the main fuselage. The interior of the Magnaline 3000 could accommodate up to thirty-two beings and minimal cargo. The Magnaline 3000's top speed was 200 kilometers per hour. (CHRN2)

Magnalock Grapplers
These small, hand-held devices use a strong magnetic field to grip heavy objects. (SWJ9)

Magna-shuffle
A casino game of chance. (RM)

Magnatomic Boots
These specialized boots were developed during the last decades of the Old Republic. The soles of these boots were made from a unique alloy that provided magnetic gripping power at the atomic level, providing excellent stability on all metal surfaces. (BF6)

Magnatomic Grip Panel
see Gription Panel (NEGW)

Magnatorch
This form of handheld light generated power with magnets, creating a nearly inexhaustible supply of light. (COG)

Magnepulse Ordnance
This form of bombardment weapon was developed by the Empire shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Also known as magnetic bombard, the magnepulse ordnance was detonated above a city or other target, and had two forms which delivered a great magnetic pulse that shorts out communications, droids, and other hi-tech equipment. The pulse could be delivered by a cannon blast or a cluster bomb, although the cluster bomb could be shot down prior to detonation. (ISB)

Magneta
This native of the planet Naboo served as the Captain of the Guard and the Royal Security Force under King Veruna. A stern, hawk-like woman, she refused to arrest Sate Pestage on charges of murder and cospiracy after then-Lieutenant Panaka discovered a hidden bae dug into the surface of Naboo. The underground lair was filled with the bodies of Gungans and humans alike, who seemed to have been part of the pro-Naboo terrorist group led by the man known as Veermok. Magneta refused to believed Panaka's report, claiming that the bodies had been regurgitated by a dying sando aqua monster that had washed up nearby. Captain Magneta later resigned after Veruna's corruption was exposed, and the King mysteriously was killed. Magneta promoted Panaka as her replacement. (IG1, GMR2)

Magneta-Mine
This magnetic-fastening explosive device was developed by Greff-Timms Industrial some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. (TOJC)

Magnetic Accelerator
This unusual form of projectile launcher was believed to have been first developed by the Verpine, as a personal weapon. It used a specially-machined track, which was impregnated with powerful magnets, to propel a metal sphere at a target. The magnets inside the weapon were powered in sequence, with each successive magnet drawing the metal ball closer and then repelling it as it moved past. In this way, the ball gathered a huge amount of momentum, continually being drawn forward and then repelled until it was ejected from the muzzle of the weapon. This system required a dedicated power source, but was virtually silent in its operation. (LF4)

Magnetic Bottle
This was the term used to describe the strange, repulsorlift-like technology created by the Geonosians. It involved concentrating magnetic fields in a small area - the "bottle" - and using them in opposition to each other to keep items away from each other. (SWI64)

Magnetic Containment Field
This device was used to protect landing pads and starports which operate in the vacuum of space. The magcon field, as it was often referred to, created a field of magnetic energy that was semi-permiable. Atmosphere within the landing area was contained within the field, so that it didn't escape out into the vacuum of space. However, the magnetic containment field was incapable of maintaining the heat of the landing area, which seeped through the field and into space. Slow-moving starships could pass through it without breaking the field's integrity. (WS, SOC)

Magnetic Hoist
This was a generic device used in spaceports and other transportation hubs to move large cargo containers from place to place. Using high-powered electromagnets, these hoists could move containers to and from starships, eliminating the need for droids to vehicles to move the cargo. (CWTV08)

Magnetic Meteors
This was an exclamation used by the ancient Jedi Master Willm Lywin. (SWJ11)

Magnetic Pulse Beam
Similar to a tractor beam, a magnetic pulse beam was used by large starships to draw a smaller ship in closer. While this technology was originally designed to assist space tugs moving larger ships around orbital shipyards, it was also used to rescueor salvage a smaller ship adrift in space. (MC15)

Magnetic Retriever
This hand tool was used by mechanics to recover metal objects. The magnetic retriever was little more than a short, thick staff that contained a powerful electromagnet. When activated, one end of the tool became highly magnetized, and could attract large or heavy objects. The tool had multiple power settings, depending on the required amount of force needed to recover a specific object. Many of the Old Republic's best podracers used magnetic retrievers to recover Steelton cables that had come loose, using the tool's incredible attractive powers to retrieve the cables from a distance, all at speeds that neared 1,000 kilometers per hour. (RFDV)

Magnetite Cleaner
This unusual automaton was developed to assist salvage and scrap yards clean and restore a wide variety of metals and components. Many of these units were equipped with a vocoder unit that allowed the automaton to announce when a cleaning operation was completed. (CVD)

Magnetogravitic Shield
This was the most basic of all starship protection systems. It kept a ship from burning up while travelling at near-lightspeed in the hyperthin atmosphere of open space, by deflecting the minute particles of matter away from the ship, before they could hit it. (LCS)

Magnetoran Sweep
This wide-beam device was used to disrupt targetting computers. (CSWEA)

Magnigrapple Pole
This form of structural support was used on planets which were to be terraformed, or were covered with shallow seas or swamps. Magnigrapple poles attach to a building or other structure, and keep it in place through magnetic force. The supporting magnets were anchored in the ground, allowing the structure to stay in one location despite the shifting conditions of the ground. (POC)

Magnispecs
These speciallized goggles were developed to use in repairing intricate computer systems. Magnispecs magnified the field of vision, allowing a being to see the smallest of circuitry in greater detail. (DN1)

This material was used in the construction of tall skyscrapers, because of its high tensile strength. (IWE1)

Magnobore
A large, outdated series of turtle-shaped droids. (COJ)

Magnoclamp
These large, magnetically-activated clamps were used on starships to keep removable sections together in flight. Magnoclamps came in a variety of sizes, from the small units that kept personal escape pods in their launch bays, to the massive units that kept the salon pod of a Corellian Engineering Corporation Republic Cruiser attached to the main fuselage. (CCS)

Magno-fix
This small device uses a small, magnetic disk to affix something to a metallic surface. They were useful in attaching restraining bolts to droids. (CFG)

Magnograsp Transmitter
This outdated sensor device used magnetic imaging to track large vehicles. (IAG)

Magnolock
This security device uses a magnetically-coded entry sequence to unlock a door or portal. They were often used on cruiser ships, with each passenger having a special card that can open the lock. (RM)

Magno-neutralizer
This unusual device used a concentrated magnetic field to shut down a droid. It was popular among criminals during the height of the New Order, since it could be thrown from a distance to disable guardian or security droids. (MDCAR)

Magnopium
This highly-explosive material was used in the construction of core bombs, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was used in conjunction with ferrocongregate to create the intense blast produced by the core bomb. (TAE)

Magno-thermitic Charge
This explosive charge was used as the core of a multi-detonator, as well as other incendiary devices. A sophisticated shell of magnetic energy was contained in a hard shell, and surrounded the main thermal explosive that was kept inside. (CVD)

Magnus
This Alliance transport ship was operative during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (XW, XWP)

Magon
This immense, tentacle-headed native of the planet Molavar was the planet's primary crimelord during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. A female, Magon operated her small empire from a base on Malcraan, but her rech extended well out into the desert. After Darca Nyl embarrassed her son, Sleeth, in front of Byrom and Ensa, Magon resolved to settle things with the moisture farmers once and for all. She confronted Byrom and Ensa, demanding that they turn over the deed to their moisture farm in exchange for their lives. Byrom refused, and Magon was surprised to find that Nyl and Tooth had arrived to claim control of the farm and its surrounding environs. Tooth's amassed army of Molavar natives was too large for her to defeat, and Magon was forced to back off and leave Byrom's farm alone. (T23)

Magore, Tilas
This man was an Imperial Advisor to Emperor Palpatine, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. Magore was responsible for the planning of the subjugation of Brak Sector. (FBS)

Mag-pellet
This was form of projectile weapon that could be fired in large masses at a target. Individual mag-pellets had a magnetic charge, which allowed them to be fired with great velocity from a magnetic-pulse weapon such as a Verpine shatter gun. This magnetic charge also helped the mag-pellets reach their destination with additional speed, as they were attracted to the metallic elements in armor plating or the hulls of starships. (DN3, LF9)

Magpulse
This type of explosive created an intense wave of magnetic energy when it was detonated, causing computer or processor-based systems to shut down and reboot. Physical damage was minimal with these weapons, which were designed to wreak havoc with computer-based technologies. (RDV)

Magra Monad
This gigantic residential building was found in the Yaam Sector of Coruscant's Galactic City, at the intersection of Bellus Boulevard and Zyra Street. Standing a thousand stories tall, the Magra Monad was a self-contained arcology that provided everything its tenants needed to exist. The only thing that the Magra Monad did not generate itself was gravity, although it was rumored that many residents wanted to generate their own. (CN1)

Magravian Cat-spice
This was a form of Magravian spice. (BF4)

Magravian Spice
This form of spice was known for its ability to temporarily sharpen a being's reflexes. (BF4)

Magresh
This minor crimelord stole a warehouse full of medical supplies from the Imperial camp of Captain Noran Vran, then turned around and sold it back to her for ten portable missile launchers. Vran paid him, but had rigged one of the weapons to explode shortly after she left. Magresh was killed in the resulting explosion. (HR)

Magresh
One of the two natural moons of the planet Ergeshui. (PG2)

Magrifle
This was a generic term used to describe any rifle-like weapon that used electromagnetic energy to fire a projectile at a target. Magrifles were distinguished by the coils that wound around their barrels, in order to produce the necessary magnetic force to propel a projectile away from the weapon. (FJ3)

Magrody, Elizie
Nasdra Magrody's wife. (COJ)

Magrody, Nasdra
Founder of the Magrody Institute, Nasdra was one of the galaxy's premier expert on droids and automata. An Arkanian, Magrody had a close relationship with Bail Organa and Mon Mothma, until he was sought out by Imperial Moff Willhuf Tarkin to teach at the Omwat orbital program. He was very enthusiastic when Qwi Xux survived the program and joined the team of scientists at the Maw Installation. Magrody was later tapped, along with Xux, by Tarkin and the Emperor when the first Death Star was being designed. His work to create Force-sensitive machines was heightened by the fact that Nasdra was somewhat Force-sensitive himself, a secret he nearly managed to keep quiet. This work resulted in the subelectronic converter, which allowed Force-sensitive beings to control a droid from a distance. When Roganda Ismaren began to plot how best to recover the Eye of Palpatine, she realized that Magrody's Force-sensitive automata would be best-suited for the job. She kidnapped his wife and child, forcing him to develop a special brain implant for her son, Irek. Magrody worked diligently with Irek, creating an incredibly intelligent mind that could manipulate inorganic machines with the Force. When he tried to get word of this to the New Republic, Roganda arranged for him to conveniently disappear. Roganda realized two benefits from his disappearance. It kept her plot secret, and it cast doubt on Leia Organa Solo's position as Chief of State for the New Republic, for rumors quickly spread that she had used her position to eliminate Magrody for his involvement with Palpatine. (COJ, OWS, NEGD)

Magrody, Shenna
Nasdra Magrody's daughter. (COJ)

Magrody Institute of Programmable Intelligence
Founded by Nasdra Magrody, the Institute fostered further learning, education, and development of intelligent automata. Emperor Palpatine consulted the Institute while designing the first Death Star. (COJ)

This medical diagnostic device used magnetic resonance to look inside a being's body. It could be used to pinpoint tumors or internal injuries. (DSTR)

Magsol
A drug used by the Ssi-ruuk to help attune a human brain to their entechment chairs. Essentially a solution of magentic particles, magsol was injected into the subject's body and was absorbed by the nervous system. When energized by an external magnetic field, the magsol helped force the subject's life-energy out of their body and into a catchment arc for storage. (TB, TBSB)

Mag-soles
This was the generic term used to describe any footwear equipped with magnetic soles. These shoes were used mainly by starship repairbeings, who needed to work in the vacuum of space. The magnetic soles kept the workers attached to the ship's hull. (BF2)

Magus
This man was a noted bounty hunter who worked the blood trade during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He had been hired by the Corporate Alliance many times, often for clandestine or illegal missions. It was Passel Argente who hired Magus to assassinate twenty leaders at a conference on Rondai-2, about eleven years before the Battle of Naboo. Magus put together an unlikely group of bounty hunters that included Raptor, Pilot, Lunasa, and Gorm the Dissolver to carry out the mission. However, they were forced to hunt down Talesan Fry after the young boy discovered that their plans and was going to provide information to the Galactic Senate. After a group of pirates captured Talesan and returned the boy to the bounty hunters, Magus set off for Randai-2, planning to use the boy as a shield in order to carry out the mission. He was angered when a group of Jedi Knights - Qui-Gon Jinn, Adi Gallia, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Siri Tachi - trailed them to Rondai-2 and disrupted the assassination attempt. After Raptor was killed and Lunasa and Gorm were captured, Magus and Pilot tried to escape with Talesan as their shield. At the last minute, however, Magus realized that the plan had been completely foiled. Rather than be captured, he fled in an airspeeder, forcing Pilot and Talesan to fall off. Pilot fell to his death, but Talesan was rescued by Siri Tachi. In retaliation for the Jedi ruining his plans, Magus hunted down Talesan's parents and killed them, then went into hiding. He reappeared some twenty years later, again working for Passel Argente. This time, Magus was dispatched to Genian to recover a top-secret device from Helina Dow. After obtaining the codebreaker, Magus shot and killed Helina during his attempt to escape. Unknown to Magus, however, was that the codebreaker he stole had been a prototype that was rendered useless by Talesan. Helina Dow, however, had installed a tracer in the real device, which allowed the Separatists to track it to Azure. There, Magus joined the Separatist forces in attacking the Republic's secret base. He set out to eliminate Talesan once and for all, but his ship was disabled by Siri Tachi. During the struggle for control of the ship, Magus managed to shoot Siri before she rendered him unconscious. After Siri died from her wounds, Magus was taken into custody as a prisoner of war. (SOJ)

Magus
This creature was native to the equatorial deserts of Reopi, where it fed on small rodents, insects, and reptiles. It resembled a large frog, measuring almost 60 centimeters in length when fully extended. Their feet were webbed, giving them excellent traction in the shifting sands of the desert. These feet also help them burrow into the sand to avoid the intense heat of the day. Their hides were incredibly tough, and magus were hunted for their skins, which were used to make a durable material sold on certain planets. When threatened, the magus exudes a noxious poil through pores on its skin. (COG)

Magwip
This was a hearty meal enjoyed by the Sullustan race. (GMR8)

Magwit, Bellina
Wim Magwit's wife, she was an obese humanoid who assisted her husband in his magic act. (BF)

Magwit, Wim
Known as the Magician, this humanoid dwarf was a travelling mystic whose primary act involved the mass disappearance of his family, props, and himself through a device known as the Mystifying Hoop Trick. The hoop was something he designed himself; it was a short-range matter transmitter that moved whatever he put into it a small distance away, usually off-stage. He was Bar-Kooda's personal entertainer until he escaped from the pirate. However, Bar-Kooda put an Imperial warrant out for his arrest, and Boba Fett caught him. Luckily for Magwit, Fett had just committed to finding Bar-Kooda, and Fett offered Magwit his freedom in return for locating Bar-Kooda. Magwit agreed, and Fett eventually used the magic hoop to trick Bar-Kooda. (BF, EGW)

(XW, XWP)

Mahd
This was a common name among the Zeltron people. (UANT)

Mahk'khar
This powerful, yet minor crimelord built his base of operations on the planet Tuulab. Originally a lowly bounty hunter, Mahk'khar found that he had an anonymous benefactor, and was able to finance the beginnings of his own organization. After establishing himself on Tuulab, Mahk'khar kept to himself and didn't bother the colonists who live there. Mahk'khar was a Gotal, and often sold ancient relics to the Dark Jedi Durrei. (SWJ6)

Mahl
This man served as an Imperial stormtrooper, and was stationed aboard the first Death Star during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Mahl was on duty when Han Solo and Luke Skywalker rescued Princess Leia Organa from Detention Block AA-23, and he was ordered by his Sergeant, Nova Stihl, to take the point during their attempt to apprehend the rebels before they could escape. (DSTR)

Mahn, Du
This woman was the Jedi Master who led the training facility on Bogden Three, during the final years of the Old Republic. When Jedi Masters K'Kruhk and Sian Jeisel arrived on the moon, Master Mahn was more than happy to welcome them and their clone troopers. Unfortunately, their arrival occurred just days before Chancellor Palpatine issued the command to execute Order 66. In the chaos that followed as the clones opened fired, Master Mahn was shot down and killed while she tried to protect a group of younglings. (DT2)

Mahn uhl Fharth bey ihn valle
This phrase was Old Corellian for "May the Force be with you." (SWJ7)

Mahraccor
This male Wookiee was Kallabow's mate, and Lowbacca's husband. He worked at the local factory, producing highly complex and technical components for the New Republic. Mahraccor helped Chewbacca repair the Shadow Chaser, including replacing the ship's navicomputer core with a suitable model developed at the factory. (DK)

Mahrusha Sector
This area of space was controlled by the Empire, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Located in the Outer Rim Territories, this sector was the site of Rendili R/M Facility Number Four. (ISB, GORW)

Mai
This being was one of the handful of Jedi Masters who survived the Massacre at Ossus and escaped to the Hidden Temple on Taivas. Master Mai was asked to see to the needs of Azlyn Rae, when she accompanied Cade and Nat Skywalker to the Hidden Temple, some seven years later. Her proximity to Azlyn Rae brought Master Mai into contact with Jariah Syn, who found that he was perturbed by the presence of the Jedi. When Azlyn Rae was reunited with her former teacher, Master Rasi Tuum, Syn realized that he had finally encountered the Jedi Knight he believed to have killed his father. When Master Mai tried ask Syn if anything was wrong, he viciously struck her across the face, leaving her unconscious on the stone floor. (SWLHT)

Mai, B'Zun
This scientist had been an associate of Jenna Zan Arbor's, and was invited to the party she held at Didi Oddo's café. (EVE)

Mai, Shu
This female Gossam served as the President of the Commerce Guild, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. Shu Mai was known among her peers and competitors as a being of unusual intelligence. It was Shu Mai who gathered enough credits to purchase her homeworld of Castell from the Commerce Guild, but she remained loyal to the Guild and kept taxes high to maintain control of her people. Her shrewd actions impressed the Guild, which continued to promote her to higher ranks. Her unscrupulous work ethic soon earned her the promotion to President. She was also a confidente of Count Dooku, and was one of the leaders of the secession movement which formed the strongest undercurrent of the politcal landscape of the Old Republic at the time. Shu Mai made arrangements with Senator Mousul to work toward Mousul's homeworld of Ansion being one of the first worlds to secede, hoping to drag along the Malarians and the Keitumites and bring about a sudden and strong reformation of the Republic. While their plans were thwarted by the Jedi Knights who neogitated a treaty between the peoples of Ansion to remain part of the Republic, Shu Mai and Senator Mousul remained loyal to Count Dooku's plans for secession. However, Shu Mai refused to openly support Dooku and the Separtists, instead pledging secret support in order to keep from actually committing treason against the Republic. After the Battle of Geonosis, Shu Mai and her assistants returned to their base of operations on Felucia, only to learn that the Republic was planning to attack the planet. They fled Felucia on the orders of General Grievous, who advised them to go to Belderone. After Grievous was routed at Belderone by Anakin Skywalker, Shu Mai returned to Felucia. However, the Republic's forces tracked her down, and Shu Mai might have been captured if Grievous hadn't returned to transport her to Utapau. After hiding on Utapau under the protection of General Grievous, the Separatist leadership was taken to Mustafar. It was there, after Darth Sidious finally lured Anakin Skywalker to the Darth Side of the Force, that the Separatist leaders met their deaths. Skywalker was dispatched to Mustafar by Sidious himself, with orders to eliminate them. Skywalker quickly killed Shu Mai, before setting off after the rest of the Separatist leaders.

Maiden
This was the codename used by Marn Hierogryph to describe Shel Jelavan, during his remote communications with Zayne Carrick. (KOR7)

Maill
This planet was well-known among coin collectors in the galaxy, because of a rare coin that was once commissioned by the planet's king. The king wanted a coin to be minted in honor of his wife, whom he loved very much. Her hair was said to have been her most beautiful feature, which was the color of a flaming sunset so the king ordered the coin to be minted from a special alloy that duplicated the color of her hair. Unfortunately, the alloy turned out to be quite malleable, and expanded when heated. Thus, the machines used to create the coins were destroyed when the alloy filled gaps in the machinery and then hardened, rendering the machines useless. Only a few hundreds of the coins were produced before the mintage was cancelled, making those coins that survived among the rarest coins ever produced. (LJ9)

Mailoc
Found on several worlds, including Sulon, the mailoc was an avian creature that resemble ad flying, legless scorpion. The tail of a mailoc was tipped with a pointed stinger that can penetrate most armor and personal shields. Mailocs often attack in small groups or swarms, using their numbers to overwhelm their prey. The exoskeleton of a mailoc was not very strong, and could be punctured with a blaster bolt. Attacking in numbers helped mailocs overcome this deficiency. (DF2, DF2P)

Mailor
This small settlement, located on the planet Brosi, was the site of a zinsian processing plant established by the Corporate Sector. (AIR)

Main
This was one of the many mining settlements, or o'bekis, established on Goroth Prime. (GSE)

Main Boulevard
This was the main road through the center of the city of Theed, on Naboo, connecting the Theed Palace with the bay at the mouth of the Solleu River. (SON)

Main Street
This was the primary thoroughfare that connected the settlements found on the planet Vaced with the planet's primary spaceport and commercial district. (MF)

Mainport
This was the primary civilian spaceport that was operated by the Empire on Coruscant, during the early years of the New Order. Mainport was first established to provide a secure location from which contracted civilians could be transported to Despayre, during the construction of the first Death Star. (DSTR)

Maintenance Hauler
An intersystem tugboat used to keep the major spacing lanes clear. (HSL)

Mairan
This large, tentacled alien race was native to the planet Maires, and communicates by blowing musical notes through drilled shells. They have rubbery, black skin that must be kept wet at all times. Most have over 40 tentacles, and all have two lumpy eye membranes. The Mairans have been long-time rivals with their neighbors, the Vergills. The battles escalated about nineteen years after the Battle of Endor, when the Vergills opened a ditanium mine near the Mairan consulate on Hapes. The Mairans claimed the Vergills were disrupting their ability to run the consolate, but it was later discovered that the Mairans purposely located their consulate near the richest ditanium mines in an effort to spark a confrontation. (L)

Maires
This ocean planet, found in the Hapes Cluster, was the homeworld of the Mairan race of aquatic aliens. (L)

Mairne
This planet was located in Kathol Sector, near Gandle Ott and Charis. It was one of several planets which supplied natural ores and metals to the industrial world of Gandle Ott. (DARK)

Maitell Base
This was one of the primary starship facilities found in the planet Kashyyyk, during the war between the Galactic Alliance and The Confederation, some forty years after the Battle of Yavin. The facility was originally built by the Imperial forces that occupied Kashyyyk, during the early years of the New Order. Its location was chosen because it was one of the few areas on the planet where the native jungle was not as dense as most locations. The rocky ground, which was almost solid at a relatively thin depth, prevented the trees from growing more than a few meters in height. This made the area more accessible to humans, and provided easy access to and from space. After the Battle of Endor, Maitell Base was one of only a few such bases that were kept operative. It served as a landing place for visitors to Kashyyyk, allowing them the opportunity to get acquainted with the native environment before traveling to Wookiee cities.

After Jacen Solo attacked Kashyyyk in order to punish the Wookiees for harboring members of the Jedi Council, the surface of Kashyyyk was ravanged by wildfires sparked by turbolaser blasts from the Anakin Solo. Maitell Base served as one of the primary bases from which firefighters and rescue workers launched their missions to contain the forest fires. (LF7)

Maitrakh
This was the term for a Noghri clan leader, usually the eldest female on the clan. (DFR)

Maizor
A former rival of Jabba the Hutt, Maizor lost a "confrontation" with Jabba. Jabba then had the B'omarr monks surgically remove Maizor's brain and suspend it in a nutrient jar. Jabba then had the jar attached to a neuro-networked droid body. Maizor was then doomed to wander through the catacombs of Jabba's palace as a mechanical spider. The spider shape had automated legs that were attached to the life-support jar. Maizor can be seen in the doorway to Jabba's palace when Bib Fortuna allows R2-D2 and C-3PO into the palace. (E6, DS)

Maj
This was a common component used to create the names given to Cerean males. In general, male Cereans given an individual name, which was added to the names of their father and grandfather. Complete male names were arranged based on harmony and cadence, but the literal meanings were arranged to ensure proper descriptions. The name Maj indicated a male ruler, as a king or chief. (GCG)

Majestic
This Imperial-I class Star Destroyer served as Emperor Palpatine's personal flagship, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Several months after the Battle of Hoth, the Majestic was ambushed and captured by Admiral Zaarin, as part of his plot to capture and execute Palpatine. Although Zaarin was able to capture the Emperor, he was unable to complete his mission when Darth Vader and Maarek Stele intervened. (TIE, TIEP)

Majestic
This was one of the many assault ships that formed the naval fleet of the Old Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Majestic was dispatched to Qiilura as the extraction vessel for the mission to capture Ovolot Qail Uthan. As the clone commandos of Omega Squad began their final assault, the Majestic provided bombardment of key locations, as both a distraction and a direct attack. The two facilities believed to be Ghez Hokan's possible locations for Uthan's laboratory - codenamed Greenwood and Boffin - were the primary targets. The Majestic later responded to the Red Zero rescue mission of Omega Squad, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis, when they were stranded in the Tynnan Sector durnig an ambush. (RCHC, RCTZ)

Majestic
This was the name of Pyash Yopayomba's pirate ship, the flagship in her growing fleet. During the early years of the New Order, Yopayomba was led to believe that the Imperial governor of Ando would pay her handsomely for starting a civil war between the Aquala and the Quara, a war which the Empire could use to fully subjugate the Aqualish. Her plans failed, though, when Sissalik reprogrammed the autopilot on the Nanda's Luck, ramming the ship into Pyash's own flagship, the Majestic. All hands on board, including Pyash herself, were killed in the explosion. (PH)

Majestic
This cruise ship was part of the Galaxy Tours fleet. Celia Durasha was first assigned as ship's navigator aboard the Majestic after her graduation from Baylagon Technical Institute, and she single-handedly piloted the ship clear of a pirate attack. (SWJ8)

Majestic-class Heavy Cruiser
This was one of the New Class of starship designs approved for the New Republic Navy, around the time of the formation of the Fifth Battle Group. Measuring 700 meters in length, the Majestic-class saw widespread duty during the Black Fleet Crisis. Equipped with thick armor and heavy-duty shields, it was designed to compare with the Imperial-class Star Destroyer in battle. The Majestic-class was armed with 30 heavy turbolaser cannons, 20 laser cannons, 20 ion cannons, 8 concussion missile tubes, and 4 tractor beam projectors. Each cruiser was manned by 4,050 crewmen and 132 gunners, and could transport up to 640 troops. (SOL, CTD)

Majestrix of Skye
This was the title used by Kharys, of the S'kytri, during her rule of the planet Skye. (LTA1, MCA1)

Majilop
This planet was located in Lol Sector. (GG11)

Majjen
This man served the Imperial army as a Colonel, during the early months of the New Order.

Majjer, Cal
This grizzled old man was the owner and operator of the Dry Goods Emporium, located in the city of Hedrett, on the planet Cularin, during the last years of the Old Republic. (EOS2)

Majjvara
This was the name of the monarch or ruler of the Yvarema people. The Majjvara was similar to the queen of an insectoid hive mind, and served the same purpose to the Yvarema. She was the source of their intelligence, but was dependent on the working classes for sustenance and new information. Unlike the rest of Yvarema society, which was largely humanoid in stature, the Majjvara was a huge, wormlike creature with ten vestigial limbs. She was positioned within a hovering throne that allowed her support her immense bulk, and surrounding this throne was a ring of incubation tubes in which Yvarema fetuses were growing. The Majjvara was connected to the tubes by a network of cables and wiring, allowing her to monitor the development of her young. The ancient Majjvara had to give birth normally, but modern Majjvara had their eggs placed in the incubation tubes for fertilization and development. Each Majjvara lived for about 400 years, providing the Yvarema society with stability. After the crew of the FarStar landed on Yvara, the Majjvara learned of the atrocities of the Empire from Gunthar, and pledged her support - in principle - to the New Republic. (KR)

Maj'o, Dirin
This being was a member of the New Republic's Relief Corps during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Dirin was stationed at Ithor when the planet was destroyed. (NEGV)

Maj-Odo-Nomor
This young Cerean male was one of the multitude who demanded the elders of their planet allow the import of technology. He was swept up in the fiery speeches of Bron and Silais, and felt that the lack of technology on Cerea kept the planet at a primitive, backwater level. When Ki-Adi-Mundi tried to match Bron in a debate, Maj grabbed hold of his lightsaber and activated it. To Maj, it was simply a new and interesting piece of technology. However, when he turned it on, he accidentally speared another youth and killed him. Although Ki was accused of the murder, Maj fled with his cadre of friends to the Outsider Citadels to escape any possible legal actions. There, he was befriended by Bron and Ephant Mon, who hoped to use the boy and his struggle to legalize their import of technology to Cerea. Maj was dating Sylvn at the time, but in the wake of the deaths of his friends Kordren and Skeel, Maj started to fall in love with Twin. This angered Sylvn, and turned her resolve back toward her father's words. Meanwhile, to protect his "investment," Ephant Mon took Maj, Twin, and Sylvn to Tatooine for safe keeping. They stowed away on a transport ship, but were sharing the ship with divvik pupae. The pupae hatched into adults, threatening them all until Ki arrived to rescue them. When Ephant Mon threatened to blow the escape pod out unless Ki acted to free them at the cost of his own life, Maj rebelled and tried to break free of Mon's control. The Chevin pulled a hidden blaster out and shot Maj in the chest, killing instantly. (PTR)

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

Mak
This portly Imperial General accompanied Darth Vader and Nas Ghent when they set out to find the Star Destroyer Crucible during the Galactic Civil War. Vader had planned to have Ghent train an elite squadron of starfighter pilots, and General Mak served as the military officer who convinced Commander Dorin Millavec to bow to Vader's wishes. (T21)

Mak, Elan
This Fluggrian was one of the newest podracers on the Outer Rim Territories's professional circuit, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. The name Elan Mak was actually an alias, as this being was really Kam Nale. Elan Mak favored the relatively slow Kurtob KRT410C podracer, which he modified for his own skills. Elan Mak finished in fifth place during the famous Boonta Eve Classic race which was won by young Anakin Skywalker. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, Mak's true identity was revealed, one of several events which led to the decline in popularity of podracing. (E1N, RAC, IG1, PRT, HNN4)

Maka
This was one of the largest cities founded by the Aramandi on their homeworld of Aram. (FBS)

Maka
This possessive Huttese pronoun translated loosely into Basic as "my". (CWBB)

Makacheesa
This Huttese word translated into Basic as "payoff." (GMR5)

Mak-Ageejay, Bosrik
This man worked as a financial advisor for Regency Spires Imperial Trust, during the height of the New Order. A snobbish man who was condescending to virtually everyone he met, Bosrik was one of the most despised and respected bankers on the planet Ralltiir at the time. Unknown to evenhis closest friends, however, was the fact that Bosrik was embezzling money from Imperial securities to finance the purchase of weapons for the Alliance. (CCW)

Makant
This species of large, playful insect was native to the Forest Moon of Endor. Resembling a mantis, the average makant was a herbivorous creature that inhabits the moon's grasslands, foraging for fungi and various meadow plants. Although most makants had large wings that enabled them to fly, they could only travel a few meters off the ground. Most makants preferred to run along the ground, a trait that made them perfect mounts for certain tribes of Gupins. They were also chosen as mounts because the makants were always on the alert for the presence of grass trekkers. (ECAR, OWS)

Makashi
This was the ancient term used to describe the Form II lightsaber fighting style. It involved the use of graceful maneuvers to minimize effort, thereby maintaining one's strength while forcing the opponent to expend energy while matching the movements. In this way, the Makashi technique tired out an opponent, allowing the Jedi to score an easy defeat. (SWI68, SWGAL)

Makati, Afsheen
This man was one of the twelve Grand Admirals who served Emperor Palpatine during the last years of the New Order, at which time he was the commander of the Star Destroyer Steadfast. Makati developed an intense hatred of the Supreme Prophet Kadann, after Kadann overheard Makati's first officer make a snide comment about the clothing worn by the members of the Secret Order of the Empire. Kadann badly injured Makati with a burst of Force lightning in retribution, and Makati never forgot the incident. Years later, when Kadann tried to take control of Coruscant in the wake of the Battle of Endor, Makati refused to return to the capital planet. Instead, Makati located the former prophet Azrakel and demanded to know of Kadann's location. Azrakel provided a wealth of information on Scardia Station and the Lost City of the Jedi, and Makati managed to trap Kadann on Scardia. Using every turbolaser at his disposal, Makati destroyed Kadann and Scardia Station, completing his own revenge. Unfortunately, Makati died shortly afterward. (VOF, SWI66, OWS)

Make-cheesay
This Huttese phrase translated into Basic as "I can't make exceptions." (E4, GPB)

This yellow star, located in the Outer Rim, was the primary body in the Makem System. It was located on the Rimward section of the Perlemian Trade Route. (WOTC, GORW)

Makem Dua
This volcanic world was the second planet of the Makem System. (WOTC, GORW)

Makem Hek
This gas giant was the sixth planet in the Makem System. It was orbited by thirty-three moons. (WOTC, GORW)

Makem Liva
This gas giant was the fifth planet in the Makem System. It was orbited by twenty-one moons. (WOTC, GORW)

Makem Pria
This planet, a searing ball of rock, was the innermost world of the Makem System. (WOTC, GORW)

Makem Qat
This gas giant was the fourth planet in the Makem System. It was orbited by nineteen moons. (WOTC, GORW)

Makem Sup
This frozen ball of rock was the seventh and outermost planet of the Makem System. It was orbited by a single moon. (WOTC, GORW)

Makem Te
This arid planet, the homeworld of the Swokes Swokes race, was the third planet in the Makem System. Much of the planet's surface was covered with rocky deserts, with crumbling bedrock grudgingly giving way to scrubby plantlife. There was virtually no surface water found on Makem Te, and the Swokes Swokes were forced to tap into underground aquifers to obtain the water they needed. One of the most interesting surface features found on the planet was The Tract, an ever-growing cemetary that contained the remains of some 1.2 trillion Swokes Swokes. By the time of the New Order, The Tract covered more than seven percent of the planet's surface area. An Old Republic scouting party first believed that The Tract was simply a vast northern ice cap, although further investigation revealed its true nature. This investigation also led to the discovery of valuable ores and medical-grade spice being found beneath the desert sands, two facts that gave Makem Te a sudden importance to the Republic. As off-world interests began to strip the planet of its resources, several groups of Swokes Swokes fanatics began to disrupt their operations in an effort to regain control of their planet. During the last years of the Old Republic, a violent civil war erupted on the planet between when the Temple of the Beatific Razor began to take power away from the Congress of Caliphs. A Republic peace-keeping force was dispatched to quell the violence and restore the planet's society, but it was exterminated by the Beatific Razors. The Congress of Caliphs then turned to Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems for aide, and the fighting was halted for many years. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Makem Te was briefly attacked, and the orbital refueling station near it was destroyed as part of a plan to disrupt traffic along the Perlemian Trade Route. The planet itself was relatively unscathed, although debris from the station crashed very near to The Tract. (E1N, WOTC)

Maker, The
This modified YT-1300 was owned and operated by Sythluss Leethe. Leethe had installed a wide range of security measures to prevent the ship from being stolen, including stun steps and incapacitating gases. It was armed with a turret-mounted quad-laser cannon and a pair of forward-mounted concussion missile launchers. Leethe often traveled with the ship, under the name of One Shot, during his dealings in the black market manufacture of droids. Despite the many security measures, T'Charek Haathi and her Alliance shipjacking team managed to steal The Maker for the Alliance. (SWJ13)

Maker, The
This was the deity which controls the world of the Sunesi race. When certain Sunesi, like Agapos the Ninth and Nee, began to use the Force to heal others, the Sunesi believed that it was a gift from the Maker. The Maker was also known as the Giver, and was believed to be the single being from which the galaxy's diversity of life flowed. Most Sunesi believed that the Maker loved all his creations, but was not above using a sense of humor in his creations. (SWJ10, BP)

Maker, The
This was reference used by many self-aware droids to indicate the legendary being who created the first droid. This being was also known as The One Who Creates. Some droids, especially those that were prototypes and those that were built by hand, took the meaning of The Maker quite literally, and worshipped the being who built them as The Maker. Other droids reasoned that The Maker could take many forms, with logic dictating that, because droids were manufactured things, the existence of a maker was without question. (E4, OWS, UVG, FJ1)

Maker's Eyes
This was an expletive that was often used by the natives of the planet Corellia. (SWI83)

Maker's Workshop
This was the name given to the droid construction and repair facility found on Hologram Fun World. (GOF4)

Makezh
This native of the planet Danoor was a well-known navigator, and was thought to have been the only person to successfuly navigate the Kathol Rift. However, about a year before Moff Sarne was forced to flee Kal'Shebbol, Makezh was reduced to an amnesiac after an encounter with the Aing-Tii monks. They left him in a light transport just outside the Rift, and that's where all his memories began. After this, he found that navigating the Rift was quite easy, and earned plenty of credits making the run for private and public employers. After being arrested for petty theft during a slow period, Makezh was visited by scientists who wanted to know about his ability to navigate the Rift. He started developing severe headaches shortly thereafter, and went into hiding in his apartment on Eror Zeen. He later helped the crew of the FarStar navigate through the Rift, during their hunt for Moff Sarne, eventually joining the crew. Unknown to Makezh, he had been trained by the Aing-Tii Monks for one purpose: to locate and obtain the Codex from an alien construct deep in the Kathol Rift. When the FarStar moved to investigate a pair of distress calls from the planet Demonsgate, Makezh suddenly went mad and stole the Codex from the ship's hold and fled in an X-Wing he appropriated. Despite his skills as a navigator, Makezh was a poor pilot, and he crashed the craft on Demonsgate's surface. Makezh ejected before the crash, and made his way on foot to deliver the Codex to the Aing-Tii Monks. He was intercepted by the bounty hunter Mist, who attempted to steal the Codex for the Imperials. Unfortunately for Makezh, the Aing-Tii who recovered the Codex also captured him and brought him back to their ship. (KO, KR)

Makim
This Doctor of Physics was one of the leading scientists at the Empire's Lotide outpost. (BI)

Makin
This male Mon Calamari served the Galactic Alliance Defense Force as an Admiral, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Admiral Makin was one of the military hardliners who rose to power in the GADF, despite the efforts of Supreme Commander Pellaeon to maintain an air of peaceable neutrality in the galaxy. Admiral Makin was given command of the Third Fleet shortly after the end of the war, which may have been one reason that Pellaeon's successor, Cha Niathal, selected the Third Fleet to participate in the blockade of the Corellian System, some ten years after the end of the Yuuzhan Vong war.

He commanded the fleet from the flagship Ocean during the height of the war between the Galactic Alliance and The Confederation. When Admiral Niathal assumed military leadership of the Galactic Alliance forces at the Second Battle of Fondor, Admiral Makin allowed her to command from the Ocean, while he took command of the warship Sarpentia. A veteran of many battles, Makin was one of the many commanders who followed Niathal's lead, since Jacen Solo seemed to have no grasp of the situation that evolved as the battle played out.

Admiral Makin supported Niathal's plans to form a government-in-exile in the wake of the fighting at Fondor, but he urged her to spend some resources to discover the size of the Maw Irregular Fleet that was loyal to Admiral Daala. (LF2, LF8)

Makina, Robet
This man, the son of wealthy parents, grew up supporting the Empire. However, after withnessing the atrocities it perpetrated on non-humans, Robet swore to overthrow the Empire and joined the Alliance. He remained loyal to the New Republic after the Battle of Endor, and eventually was named the New Republic's Ambassador to the planet Glova. He spent much of his early career trying to gather evidence of Imperial loyalties by the planetary Governor, Tegist Byrg, a mission in which he eventually succeeded. (POC)

Making Lives
This song, written and played by the band Starburst, first appeared on the compilation StakeOut. (GG9)

Making Oneself Small
Tthis was another name for the Art of the Small. (EGF)

MaKing-class Transport
A transport ship built by General Spacetronics. (RPG)

Makintay
This man served as the feudal leader of the planet Hargeeva until the Empire subjugated the world and took control of its natural resources. Makintay held enough power over his people to convince the Imperials that he should remain in control of the world, and was named Governor of the planet. (SWJ8)

Makintay, Stevan
This young man was part of the nobility on the planet Hargeeva. Like all yong noble males, he was sent to the royal guards for formal military training. As the eldest son, Mak - as he was known to his friends - was also the heir to the throne of Hargeeva. He learned the intricate ways of swordsmanship, and had the scars to prove it, inlcuding one that ran down his right cheek. He was also a graduate of the Imperial Academy, and became a skilled starfighter pilot. However, back on Hargeeva, Mak fell in love with Ketrian Altronel. He intended to marry her, despite her position as a member of the common calsses, but his father wouldn't allow it. Mak was disinherited and his father arranged for him to be kidnapped and sent off to Garen IV, an Imperial penal colony. Many years later, he and a group of Alliance agents managed to escape, and Mak immediately joined the Alliance. He spent much of his free time working to establish a rebel cell on Hargeeva, and he eventually led the rebels in a large-scale revolt. His role as a rebel leader on Hargeeva earned him the death mark in the system, but he continued to work to free his homeworld. In the meantime, he worked hard for the Alliance in many capacities, from Eyrie Base. When he returned again to Hargeeva, Mak was captured by Nial Pedrin while trying to see Ketrian. She had been told by Mak's father that he had abandoned her, and she felt no love for him. However, they were captured by Pedrin's forces and shipped off to Coruscant. During the trip, Ketrian's good friend Alikka Nolan was killed during interrogation, and she began to believe Mak. When the Ghawem pirates attacked their ship, Mak and Ketrian were allowed to go free. They returned to Eyrie Base and began working together for the Alliance. (SWJ8)

Ma'kis'shaalas
This Nikto Jedi Master and his Hiitian Padawan traveled to Kintan to investigate the possible resurgence of the Cult of M'dweshuu, during the height of the Clone Wars. Master Ma'kis'shaalas was known as a fanatical adherent to the Jedi Order, but was always an outsider. He was admitted into the Jedi Temple at a much older age than most Padawans, and retained a hatred of bureaucracy that often conflicted with his duty to support the Galactic Senate. As a member of the Kajain'sa'Nikto race, Master Ma'kis'shaalas was also a Morgukai, but he walked away from the brotherhood rather than embracing them. He knew that something within him was different than other warriors, and decided to pursue this other calling. As was the tradition, he turned his cortosis armor over to his closest comrade, Tsyr, and walked out into the Burning Moon Range. Many considered him dead and gone, since the Fire River consumed all who entered. Ma'kis'shaalas survived, however, and traveled to Coruscant for training as a Jedi. When he first returned to Kintan, several years before the Battle of Naboo, Ma'kis'shaalas hoped to locate his friend Tsyr and rekindle their friendship. Tsyr wanted no part of the Jedi, and challenged Ma'kis'shaalas to battle. In an intense fight through the Daggersand Ridges and the Skulljaw Grottoes, Ma'kis'shaalas emerged bloodied but victorious after Tsyr fell into a cleft in the rock. He returned to Coruscant to contemplate the events on his homeworld. In the following years, Ma'kis'shaalas earned the rank of Jedi Master, and became one of the most devastating combatants among the active Jedi. He fought valiantly during the Clone Wars, as he was more a being of action than words. However, Master Ma'kis'shaalas was among the many Jedi killed during the early stages of the Jedi Purge, when he agreed to meet Master Shadday on Kessel. There, the Jedi found themselves confronting Darth Vader himself, after Shadday leaked information that Obi-Wan Kenobi would be on Kessel. Although Ma'kis'shaalas agreed that the Jedi needed to act against the Sith Lord and his master, Darth Sidious, he was unsure of the correct course of action. Ma'kis'shaalas never got the chance to determine this course, as Vader cut him down in combat. (GORW, OWS, SWP)

Makrin City
This was the capital city of the planet Shelkonwa. In addition to its human and Mungra populations, Markin City was home to a large group of Adarians. Known to the locals as the Second City of Spires, Makrin City bore a slight resemblance to Galactic City on Coruscant. The eastern border of the city was demarked by a line of rocky cliffs that were perforated by dark caves. Known as the Catacombs, these caves served as hiding places for criminals and exiles. By the time of the Battle of Yavin, however, the Catacombs became homes for the displaced Adarians who were forced into obscurity and servitude by the Empire. (A)

Makrin Main Spaceport
This was the primary spaceport located in Makrin City, on the planet Shelkonwa, during the height of the New Order. Located in the northwest quadrant of the city, Makrin Main provided easy access to the Governor's palace and other govermental facilities. (A)

Maktites
This gang of soldiers and mercenaries was one of the first groups to try and defeat the original Echani warriors. However, the Maktites were unprepared for the depth and breadth of military equipment the Echani had developed. During one noted struggle, the Maktites had planned to eliminate a group of Echani by using thermal weapons. They were unaware that the thin body armor of an Echani warrior could withstand extreme heat, which rendered the thermal weapons useless. (KOTOR)

Mak-tk-klp
This was the Kamarian term used to describe something that demanded an offering. It had a slightly religious connotation, since the ability to observe the mak-tk-klp involved the surrender of one's q'mai. Han Solofirst heard the term when Lisstik used it to describe the holofeature Varn, World of Water, which the Badlanders worshipped for its displays of a world where water was everywhere. (HSR)

Mal
This given name was commonly given to female human children throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Mal
This was a common component used to create the names given to Cerean males. In general, male Cereans given an individual name, which was added to the names of their father and grandfather. Complete male names were arranged based on harmony and cadence, but the literal meanings were arranged to ensure proper descriptions. The name Mal referred to an individual's dependability, reliability, or resolve. (GCG)

Mala
This was a common name given to Twi'lek females, and referred to the mythical figure Mala, who was the mother of Nolaa. (GCG)

Mala
This young woman lived on Gus Talon with her father, Rallo, during the height of the New Order. As a youth, she was enamored of Wedge Antilles, despite Rallo's misgivings about their relationship. Mala was one of the few people who knew of her father's ties to the Alliance, and often helped him with the work he did for the rebellion against the Empire. She tried to get Wedge to join them, but she couldn't find a way to make him understand why the rebellion was important to him specifically. When Captain Turrant arrested Rallo, he also wanted to bring Mala in for interrogation. Rallo, however, wasn't going to submit to Turrant's orders, and opened fire on the Imperials arranged against him. He forced Mala to escape out of the back door, and Rallo rejoined her shortly afterward. Unfortunately, Rallo's actions incurred the wrath of the Empire, which sent TIE Bombers to level the city. Both Mala and Rallo were killed in the resulting destruction. (T23)

Mala
According to Twi'lek mythology, Mala was the mother of Nolaa. (GCG)

Mala, Mala
This near-human woman was a little-known bounty hunter with exception marksmanship. In her youth, she hated droids, and often used them as target practice with her partner, Nikk Zavod. Zavod doublecrossed her, claiming that he knew the location of Chewbacca, while all he really wanted to do was steal her ship. He asked her to check out an infestation of Corellian limpets in the thrusters, then blasted off while she was still inside the exhaust nacelles. Zavok left her for dead, but it was Chewbacca himself who found her dying body. He nursed her back to health, although she was badly disfigured and needed cybernetic replacements for much of her body. When she tried to communicate with Chewbacca, all the Wookiee could do was mutter the name of his wife, Mallatobuck. Thinking that he was talking to her, she decided that her new name would be Mala Mala. She used a robotic construct to move around, and gave it a brain so that it could act without her constant attention. She named it 4-D. She also used several other droids to assist her in her work as a boutny hunter. She was nearly killed on Centares when Darth Vader learned that Luke Skywalker had destroyed the first Death Star. Vader had all the witnessed to the interrogation which produced the name executed, and Mala barely escaped with the name of Luke Skywalker to sell. She confronted the Alliance pilot who was interrogated, and agreed to shoot him rather than let him fall into Vader's hands. Mala was then chased through the nearby woods until she as cornered on a point of land. She and 4-D were forced to jump in order to escape,and 4-D was crushed in the attempt. She was rescued by another of her droids, B-6, and together they fled to Coruscant. They were shot down by the Imperial perimeter patrols, and their small ship crashed outside Imperial City. B-6 was damaged in the crash. She used the droid as a trap to delay the stormtroopers, but was eventually caught by a patrol of stormtroopers. It was later revealed that Mala was secretly working for Emperor Palaptine, and was tracking the Dark Lord during his hunt for the pilot who won the Battle of Yavin. She returned to Coruscant to provide the pilot's name to Palpatine himself, in return for a new ship and a load of droid parts to rebuild her friends. Palpatine then used the name - Luke Skywalker - to punish Vader even more for the destruction of the Death Star. (VQ, C)

Mal'aa
This stout Twi'lek female owned and operated Mal'aa's Kitchens, located within the Kala'uun Starport on Ryloth. She had been outcast from her original clan, and found refuge within the upper warrens of Kala'uun Staport. She earned enough credits to survive by cooking meals for spacers, then found herself inheriting a large sum from a spacer who remembered her good food. She used the credits to set up Mal'aa's Kitchens, and her hospitality became known throughout Kala'uun. She took to spacers and Twi'leks with equal ease, and never left anyone out of her embrace. (PSPG)

Malaan, Dannik
This Corellian man was a supporter of the Alliance, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Mal'aa's Kitchens

Malachor Depths
This was the name given to a collection of underground caverns and passageways that was located beneath the surface of the planet Malachor V. The ancient Sith Lords established their base of operations in the Malachor Depths, during the years following the Mandalorian Wars. (KOTOR2)

Malachor V
Located in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy, this graveyard planet was the site of the decisive battle in the Mandalorian Wars, when the Jedi Knights finally defeated the Mandalorians, many years after the Great Sith War. The use of a Mass Shadow Generator by the forces led by Revan killed every living thing on the planet, utterly destroying Mandalorian and Jedi alike, and tore a huge hole in the Force. In the wake of the Jedi Civil War, the surviving Sith established a base on Malachor V, traveling only to Korriban to meditate and gain strength from the Valley of the Dark Lords. Their reign on Malachor V lasted just a few years, after The Exile tracked them down and confronted Darth Traya at the Trayus Academy. In the wake of their struggle, the droid Remote set off the Mass Shadow Generator, setting off a gravitic chain reaction that caused the planet's core it explode, utterly destroying the planet. (KOTOR2)

Malacia
This Force skill was mastered by the ancient Jedi Knights, and allowed a Jedi to alter the equilibrium of another individual, inducing a powerful dizziness and nausea in an opponent. While completely incapacitating, the effects of malacia did not cause lasting physical damage. Jedi Master Oppo Rancisis was one of the last Jedi to use Malacia in combat, and he described the technique as the transferring of one's own energy to the intended target. Thus, the use of Malacia required that the Jedi maintain visual contact with the target at all times, although there seemed to be no limited to the distance across which the technique could be used. (SWDB, EGF)

Maladi, Darth
This beautiful woman served as Darth Krayt's head of intelligence and assassination for the new Sith order, some 130 years after the Battle of Yavin. She was a skilled scientist and interrogator, and used her knowledge of mental and physical aspects of life to torture her victims with cold cruelty. Her skills were at the forefront of the Sith effort to sabotage the Ossus Project, during which she used the Dark Side of the Force to cause strange mutations and unusual growth patterns in Yuuzhan Vong lifeforms.

When Darth Krayt killed the Imperial leadership and assumed control of the galaxy, in the wake of the Massacre at Ossus, he was angered to find that he had not actually killed Emperor Roan Fel. Instead, a stand-in's body was discovered on the floor. Darth Maladi was viciously reprimanded by Darth Krayt, and she was ordered to hunt down the real Roan Fel and eliminate him, before he could cause trouble for the new Sith empire.

Darth Maladi, distinguished by her red-and-black, full-body Sith tattoos, apprehended Nyna Calixte and demanded to know what had happened to the Emperor. Suspicious of the Imperial Moff, Darth Maladi accused Calixte of aided the Emperor in his escape, an accusation that was completely true, but without proof. Calixte calmly denied any part in the escape, but was assigned by Darth Maladi to lead the investigation into Fel's whereabouts.

In the years following the Massacre at Ossus, Darth Maladi established her own laboratory in the former Jedi Temple on Coruscant. There, she tortured and interrogated any being who was believed to have had contact with Emperor Fel or Cade Skywalker. Among her many victims was Hosk Trey'lis, who resisted her ministrations for many days before finally breaking. This provided Darth Maladi with enough information to dispatch Jor Torlin to The Wheel.

In the meantime, Darth Maladi began working several other projects, dispatching Darth Kruhl to Munto Codru before sending him to eliminate Emperor Roan Fel on Bastion. Kruhl ultimately failed in his attempt, which alerted the Emperor to the fact that the Sith were trying to kill him. Darth Krayt questioned the outcome of the mission, but Darth Maladi explained that the loss of her agent would serve to make Emperor Fel more complacent, and therefore easier to attack and kill at a later date.

After the capture of Cade Skywalker, Darth Maladi was placed in charge of twisting him to the Sith way. She tried to flood his body with Ixetal cilona, but he was able to use the Force to expel it from his body. When Skywalker escaped from captivity and tried to kill his way to freedom, Darth Maladi was forced to recover the bodies of Darth Nihl and Darth Talon. She took them to her underground laboratory and kept them alive in specially-designed bacta tanks. Meanwhile, Darth Maladi monitored Skywalker's movements through the galaxy with the assistance of the former pirate Rav. (SWI88, SWLB, SWLT, SWLR, SWLC, SWLL)

She was a former lover of Bal Jaset, until she betrayed him in order to promote her own brother in a house succession battle. Bal never forgave her, since he was also in line for the promotion. After Jaset was named Lord, he often went out of his way to make life miserable for Lady Cynith. (LOE)

Malagarr
This planet, hidden in the Unknown Regions, was the homeworld of an ancient, long-lived race of beings that were known for their equally long-lived droid technology. (GORW)

Malagarrian
This was the native language of the planet Malagarr. (GORW)

Malagoof
This joy-riding alien was a known speeder thief, who was living on the planet Coruscant during the last years of the Old Republic. (OWS)

Malak
This ancient Jedi Knight was one of the many which participated in the defense of the Old Republic during the years following the Great Sith War, some 3,964 years before the Battle of Yavin. Malak was originally the Jedi known as Alek "Squint" Squinquargesimus, who had abandoned the Jedi Order and taken on the alias of Captain Malak, in protest of the Jedi High Council's inability to confront the Mandalorians who invaded the Republic. When he realized that a Jedi was needed to help win the war, he dropped the title of Captain and simply became the Jedi known as Malak. He explained that the names he used meant little, especially the names he had used before changing to Malak. What mattered most, he explained, was what he did as Malak. His ability to wield a lightsaber, as well as his skills in battle, made his a formidable warrior. His arrogance, however, was difficult to control, and Malak continually sought to gain fame and notoriety.

After adopting the alias of Malak, he spent many months petitioning the Jedi High Council to allow Jedi Knights to fight in the Mandalorian Wars, believing that the Jedi were the only force that could adequately deal with the armored shock troopers. When Malak and a group of other Jedi, including Ferroh and Revan, experienced a shared vision of a Mandalorian attack on the planet Cathar, they believed that they had all the evidence they needed to convince the Jedi to join the war. Malak was given the title of General, but his first action was to carry out a personal mission to seek out Jarael, hoping to convince her to join the Revanchist cause. His interest in her only increased when he learned that Jarael had discovered that she had a connection to the Force, but Rohlan Dyre refused to let him continue. The two men drew their weapons and began fighting, despite Jarael's wishes for them to stop. Malak refused to back down, stating that Rohlan was nothing more than a vicious, unfeeling Mandalorian. Malak might have killed Rohlan if Ferroh and Captain Telettoh hadn't intervened, explaining that he needed to keep his personal desires to himself. Malak backed down, and left Wor Tandell with Telettoh to carry on the war.

During the months that followed, Malak rejoined Revan, and together they led a mission to put down a Mandalorian uprising in the Outer Rim during the war. Their bravery and exploits were widely publicized, and they finally attained the glory they were seeking. However, they were brought into contact with the Dark Side of the Force. Revan began to study the Sith lore, and eventually named himself Darth Revan, a Dark Lord of the Sith, with Malak as his apprentice. The two set out to wage their own battles against the Jedi Knights and the Old Republic, until Revan was captured in battle. Malak took up his master's mission and set out to continue the war against the Jedi, adopting the title of Darth Malak when he assumed control of the Sith forces. He set out to locate an ancient artifact known as the Star Forge, and once again crossed paths with his former master. Revan had been forcibly returned to the Light Side of the Force, and had been paired with Bastila Shan to locate Malak and the Star Force. Malak managed to capture them, along with Carth Onasi, and held them prisoner aboard the Leviathan. During an escape attempt, Malak managed to recapture Bastila Shan, but the others escaped. Malak took out his anger by torturing the young Jedi, bending her mind to be more receptive to the Dark Side of the Force. Ultimately, he succeeded, and Bastila Shan became something of an apprentice to him. (SWI67, KOTOR, SWDB, KOR9, KOR10, KOR14)

Malak
This female Rodian was known as one of the most violent slavers of the early years of the New Republic. She wore expensive rings on her long fingers, and was known to be able to deliver particularly unusual or "specialty" slaves. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, Malak was able to capture several Abyssin, including the mercenary Myo. Myo, however, escaped during a stopover at Kinun Depot. (GG11, AIR)

Malak, Captain
This was the alias adopted by Alek Squinquargesimus, after Lucien Draay was appointed to the Jedi High Council and ordered the arrest of any Jedi Knights who supported the continued participation of the Jedi Order in the Mandalorian Wars. Captain Malak was distinguished by the striped, blue tattoos that covered his otherwise bald head. In this alias, Alek was able to meet with Jedi Masters Vandar Tokare and Vrook Lamar, and pass on to them information about Zayne Carrick. However, as the Mandalorian Wars ground on, Squint chose to adopt the name shortened Malak until the fighting came to an end. When the war continued, Squint knew that he had to do something, so he became the Jedi known as Malak, and eventually joined forces with Revan. (KOR9, KOR10)

Malak, Darth
This was the title adopted by the former Jedi Knight Malak, after he learned to wield the Dark Side of the Force from his friend and mentor, Revan. As they led the Sith forces into battle, Darth Revan and Darth Malak conquered a number of star systems before the Jedi Knights were able to launch a counterattack. In a bold move, the Jedi managed to trap the pair without the support of their troops, and Darth Revan was believed to have been killed in the struggle along with many Jedi Knights. History had hidden the exact details of the battle, and it was unclear whether Darth Revan was killed by the Jedi or by his own apprentice. Some historians believed that Malak was the stronger of the two Sith Lords, and either survived because he was stronger or smarter or more devious than Darth Revan.

It was later discovered that Darth Revan had been captured by the Old Republic, and was given a memory wipe to remove any traces of his allegiance to the Sith. Regardless of the exact details, Darth Malak took up the mission of his former master and continued to wage war against the Old Republic. He was distinguished by the unusual face shield he wore, an apparatus that was required after he lost his lower jaw in a lightsaber battle. His speech was assisted by a vocabulator, and his voice had a distinctly metallic sound to it. Unlike the prior Sith forays led by Darth Revan against Republic systems, Darth Malak destroyed worlds rather than capturing them, ensuring that vital resources were no longer available to either side of the battle. In the tradition of the Sith, Darth Malak took Darth Bandon as his apprentice, and the pair worked from a base on Korriban for many years. His forces were believed to have been armed by Czerka Corporation, although such a link was never verified.

It was eventually learned that much of his war machine was produced in the holds of the Star Forge, which he had usurped from the Rakata and modified to produce Sith Fighters and other weapons. Darth Malak powered the Star Forge with captive Jedi Knights, drawing on their powers to augment the massive input of the Unknown World's sun. With the defection of Admiral Saul Karath, Darth Malak acquired the Leviathan, which served as his personal flagship, and he appeared to be invincible. In an epic battle, the Jedi Knights and the forces of the Old Republic set out to destroy the Star Forge and eliminate the threat of Darth Malak. The battle waged for a long time, until Darth Malak was killed in battle and the Star Forge was destroyed. (KOTOR, WOTC, SWDB, SWI100)

Malak War, The
This was another name for the War of the Star Forge, indicating Darth Malak's central role the conflict. (CHRN2)

Malakili
This tremendous Corellian human was a professional monster trainer for the Circus Horrificus. His ability to handle and train unusual alien creatures was renowned throughout the galaxy. He had spent seven seasons as the head trainer, which was a record, considering the types of animals that were found in the Circus Horrificus. When Bib Fortuna and Bidlo Kwerve came into posession of a rancor for Jabba the Hutt, they purchased Malakili from the Circus Horrificus to tend the beast.

Malakili's otherwise muscular body, developed from years of hard work training the galaxy's most dangerous beasts, was hidden beneath a huge paunch grown from the good eating he enjoyed at the Circus. In the oppressice heat of Tatooine, he dressed only in a loincloth and a black headdrape. During his tenure at Jabba's palace, Malakili became good friends with Jabba's cook, Porcellus. Malakili also took on several side jobs, including the extermination of mutant womp rats. Once such job earned him the respect of a tribe of Tusken Raiders, who gave Malakili a gaderffi stick as a reward.

When Malakili learned that Jabba was going to pit the rancor against a krayt dragon, he appealed to the Lady Valarian for assistance. She agreed to help him, just to spite Jabba. Malakili was then forced to train the rancor to participate in Jabba's demolition derbies against vehicles of all sizes. He managed to train the rancor to charge other combatants, and mounted a pair of cannons on the beast's harness to blast the others.

Despite Malakili's efforts to save the rancor, Luke Skywalker killed the creature before any of his plans could materialize. Malakili was heartbroken, but he quickly came to his senses when he heard Jabba had been killed at the Pit of Carkoon. He and Porcellus fled the castle, and eventually opened the Crystal Moon restaurant in Mos Eisley. (TJP, CCG7, SWD, CVD)

Malakin Enterprises
This corporation was part of the Tenloss Syndicate. Based on the planet Lesu, Malakin dealt in loan sharking, industrial espionage, and many other criminal activities. It was rumored to be secretly under the control of the Hutts, and was the primary stockholder of the Natori Association. (GG11, SWJ15)

Malani
According to Ewok legend, this ugly Ewok was tormented by pther Ewoks until she was transformed into a beautiful princess. (GCG)

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

Malano III
This idyllic planet was located just beyond the galactic core, and was ruled by various clans who lived in relative peace with each other until the formation of the Galactic Empire. Imperial forces subjugated the planet and enslaved the native human population, hoping to move them off-planet and turn Malano III into a garrison and staging area for the Imperial military. The clans fought back, with some groups banding together against a common enemy, but this only angered the Imperial leadership on the planet. The capital city of Mirabel was bombed, and thousands upon thousands of inhabitants were killed or left homeless. (RF1)

Malanose
This world, part of the remote Gree Enclave, was once the primary world of the Gree crafter and researcher castes. During the height of Gree civilization, what was known by the Gree as "the most ancient and forgotten time," Malanose was colonized and covered with cities that produced new and ecxiting devices and technologies. As their society declined and the devices which it created were worn out, the Gree raided the buildings of Malanose for any piece of technology they could transport to the other Gree worlds. Only the largest and most bulky pieces of technology were left behind, and remain unused in the abandoned cities. The most famous remaining device was the Totth'k Lotos, a technology that was rumored to provide eternal life. In reality, the Totth'k Lotos simply maximizes a body's structural integrity, allowing a frail, elderly Gree to become a healthy, elderly Gree. The average day on Malanose consumes 18 standard hours, while its year lasted 320 local days. (SWJ8)

Malanx, Cev
This smuggler was also a contact of the New Republic. Malanx grew up in the spacing business with his father, who took his young son everywhere in the Mid Rim Territories. When his father had decided Cev was old enough to be on his own, he sent the young man off in a battered Ghtroc freighter to the Outer Rim. Cev never returned, having been stranded at Gelgelar Free Port. There he met Regec Sloom, and the two decided to team up and ply the spacelanes together. Cev was unaware of Sloom's trouble with the Empire, and spent much of their time avoiding Imperial entanglements. However, they worked in Corva Sector just long enough to save a few credits and get back to the Mid Rim. After helping New Republic agents discover the whereabouts of Mers Ulcane, Malanx and Sloom fled for the Core Worlds. (SWJ8)

Malar, Bane
This mysterious bounty hunter, whose species was not known, wore a black pressure suit with a spherical black helmet. The helmet's visor was mirrored on the exterior, so as to completely hide Malar's physical appearance. For many years, Bane Malar had been hired by the Imperial officers who managed the Spice Mines of Kessel, taking advantage of his tracking skills to hunt down any beings who managed to escape from the mines. He took down his targets with a specially-loaded Noslo-19 projectile rifle, which ensured that the beings he captured would survive until they were returned to their Imperial captors. While on Kessel, Bane Malar discovered that glitterstim spice enhanced his innate telepathic abilities, giving him a distinct advantage over his bounties. It also led to an intense addiction to the spice, which he fed by installing a specially-made mister into his helmet's breathing systems to constantly provide a dosage of spice. Over time, this continual use of spice caused Bane Malar to develop an acute sense of paranoia.

In addition to his Imperial contracts, Bane Malar was an infrequent visitor to Jabba the Hutt's palace. He performed jobs for the Hutt in order to help finance his spice habit, but his knowledge of the crimelord made him the perfect candidate when Black Sun began plotting to eliminate Jabba and take over his criminal empire. He put plans in place to kill the crimelord by adding tainted spice to Jabba's hookah, but the appearance of Luke Skywalker put a halt to his plans. Rather than risk being discovered, Bane Malar abandoned the job. He tried to make up for this failure by attempting to rescue a Black Sun operative from Imperial custody on Kessel, but the mission when wrong and he was forced to flee into the depths of the galaxy with a death mark on his head.

This alien race had allied themselves with the Ansionians during the last decades of the Old Republic. (APS)

Malarian Alliance
This treaty was signed by representatives from the Ansionian and Malarian peoples, linking their planets in commerce and defense during the last decades of the Old Republic. Count Dooku and Shu Mai hoped the Malarians would follow the Ansionians in seceding from the Republic, shortly before the Clone Wars, leading to a large-scale secession movement of which they were the leaders. (APS)

Mal'ary'ush
Noghri term for "The Daughter of Darth Vader", used in reference to Leia Organa Solo. (HTTE)

Malastare
This Outer Rim world was the homeworld of the Dug species, and was first settled by the Old Republic some 8,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. An outpost was the only outside presence on the planet for several thousand years, until the Gran began to settle on the planet.

By the last decades of the Old Republic, the Gran population vastly outnumbered that of the native Dugs, who found themselves in the minority on their own planet. The native Dug population found itself subordinated by the garrulous Gran, and grew to despise them. This led to a great deal of inter-species fighting and a power struggle which the Gran eventually won.

An arboreal world with stronger than normal gravity, Malastare was the site a series of famous podraces. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Malastare was subjugated by the alien invaders, but was relatively untouched by Yuuzhan Vong terraforming efforts. The native Dugs and their oppressors, the Gran, were both angered by the lack of response from the Galactic Alliance in the years following the end of the hostilities with the Yuuzhan Vong. Rebuffed, they began working together to restore their homeworld. Note that the galaxy map insider Star Wars Insider, issue 65, places Malastare in the Expansion Region. (E1, IG1, SWI65, NEGC, NEGA)

Maldorf, Gorm
This thick-headed bully was one of many youths who lived on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. He was often seen in the company of sidekick, Chester, a dim-witted Rodian who played the perfect patsy to Gorm's machinations. He traveled from settlement to settlement, swindling credits from the teenagers before being run out of town. Among his many tricks was challenging another youth to a swoop race inside a metal cage. Before the race, Gorm would string a thin wire across the cage, which would inevitably trip up another racer. In this way, Gorm always won his races, at least until his ruse was discovered. According to local legend, Gorm once challenged Luke Skywalker to a race, but was undone by his own plans. During the set-up of the cage, Gorm was inadvertently strangled by Chester. Chester had been helping him string the wire, and yanked hard before Gorm could let go. The wire wrapped around Gorm's next, and dragged him into the cage supports. Although probably dead when he hit the bars, Gorm's skull was crushed by the blow, and he died instantly. (T20)

Maldra IV
This planet, the primary world in the Maldra System of Shandola Sector, was believed by the Empire to be the site of a pirate base, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. According to Imperial sources, when the Motivator was dispatched to investigate the pirates, the crew discovered that the Alliance had established a training outpost and munitions base on the planet. The Alliance forces fought back, but were eventually wiped out by the Imperials. The Empire believed that the Maldra IV munitions base was supplying all of Shandola Sector with weapons, which were being used to hijack convoys of supplies. The Alliance countered this pro-Imperial propaganda by revealing that Maldra IV was a refugee base, and that the Empire had wantonly murdered several thousand innocent people in an effort to secure the planet. (SWJ10)

Maleval, Darth
This immense Quarren was one of the many Force-sensitive beings who joined the new Sith Empire of Darth Krayt, nearly a century after the was against the Yuuzhan Vong. Lord Maleval was easily distinguished his his tattooed skin, which was dyed red and then covered with the jet-black patterns that characterized the ancient Sith.

About seven years after Darth Krayt took control of the galaxy, Darth Maleval was dispatched to Yinchorr to take command of the 407th Stormtrooper Division, as part of a mission to eliminate the 908th Stormtrooper Division. The 908th had been planning to defect and join the former Emperor, Roan Fel. Lord Maleval was sent to accompany the 407th in order to ensure their loyalty and the completion of the mission.

Although the 407th followed their orders, Lieutenant Gil Cassel refused Maleval's order to execute his own brother, Jared. When Maleval threatened to kill them both, he was met with resistance from Hondo Karr. Maleval managed to stop Karr's attack and entwined him with an energy whip, but this act caused Maleval to lose his focus on the others around him. While concentrating on Cassel and Karr, Maleval was shot several times by stormtrooper Anson Trask. The unexpected treachery caught Maleval unaware, and the blaster shots pierced his body, killing in instantly.

In the aftermath of the attack on Borosk, Lord Maleval was reported as having been killed in combat. (SWLN)

Malevolence
This jagged, needle-shaped warship served as General Grievous' flagship, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The front of the ship resembled the beak of a massive raptor, while the aft section of the ship was a think cylinder that supported a tail fin at the rear. Commissioned by Count Dooku, the Malevolence was designed by Ruggle Schmong. Built at the Pammany Docks by by Quarren shipwrights who were loyal to the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and measuring more than five times the length of an Acclamator-class troopship, the Malevolence was armed with some 500 turbolaser cannons, but its most devastating weapon was a massive ion cannon. Note that the decoded version of episode 4 of Star Wars: The Clone Wars indicates that the Malevolence is nearly 5 kilometers in length. A blast from the ion weapon was capable of leeching all power from a target starship, leaving it defenseless against the Malevolence's other weapons. Because the ship was so long, the central sections of the ship were dedicated to a rail jet system that allowed Grievous and his droid crew to move swiftly from location to location. The rear of the ship was taken up by the sixteen sublight engines that were required to move it through space.

When news of the Malevolence and its weapons reached the media, many worlds began to fear that the ship might appear in their star systems and launch an attack. The Galactic Republic had to devote some of its propaganda resources to quelling the public fear, prompting several lively debates and discussions on the HoloNet. Ultimately, though, it was the ship's ion cannons that led to the Malevolence's demise, after the true nature of the weapon was learned by the survivors of the Triumphant. Among the survivors was Jedi Master Plo Koon, who later led a group of Galactic Republic ships in an attack on the Malevolence near the Kaliida Nebula.

Under the command of Master Koon and Anakin Skywalker, Shadow Squadron's Y-Wings directed all their fire on the ion cannons, hoping to overload them. The attack plan had been devised by Skywalker after a direct assault on the Malevolence proved too costly, and proved invaluable when both the ion cannons exploded under heavy attacks. General Grievous might have fought back, but three of the Republic's Venator-class Star Destroyers then dropped out of hyperspace, forcing Grievous to order a hasty retreat. Only the ship's size allowed it to limp away through a hail of turbolaser fire, until it intercepted Senator Padme' Amidala's personal yacht. Grievous took the Senator hostage, hoping to buy some time to complete repairs to the hyperdrive and secure his own escape.

Although the hyperdrive was fixed quickly, the navigational computer experienced a malfunction when their escape route was planned. Grievous ordered the ship to flee into hyperspace, but the ship's computers had laid in a course that took them into the path of the nearby moon Kaliida. Grievous watched from his starfighter as the Malevolence gained speed quickly, then slammed into the moon before it could change course. The Malevolence exploded in a huge fireball, and Grievous was forced to flee in disgrace. The Republic was able to locate some of the debris from the Malevolence on a barren moon in the Kaliida Nebula, giving them evidence of its origins. (CWVG, CWTV02, CWTV03, CWTV04, SM1)

The nexus emanated from the actual tomb of Darth Andeddu, which was kept hidden until a Sith Lord proved worthy enough to discover its existence from Andeddu's Holocron. (SWLIC)

Malevolent
This was a model of flame thrower weapon that was produced during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWGAL)

Malgio
This Quarren starshipwright was known almost as much for his physical appearance as his starships. Malgio was an obese individual, nearly twice as wide as a normal Quarren. This obesity extended to his mouth tentacles, which were immense in girth. Despite his size, though, Malgio was an excellent technician and mechanic, and produced some of the best customizations in the galaxy during the era of the New Order. He worked from a facility hidden beneath the surface of Calamari's planet-spanning ocean, in the sunken city of Hikahi. Although his prices were exceptionally high, the work and craftsmanship were well worth it. (GORW)

Malia turned her back on her old life, knowing that the gang had forgotten her as soon as she had been caught, and went to work as a spy an a "relaxation specialist" at the Rose Nebula. She dreamed of one day living in the upper-class spacescrapers of Coruscant's glittering cityscape, so she worked at the Nebula as a way to earn her way to the top. (UA)

Malia
This fierce predator hunted in packs on its homeworld of Ragoon-6. It was said that, if you could hear the cry of a malia, then you were already dead. The malia had blue-grey fur which helped them blend into the rocky mountainsides of their home planet. They were incredibly fast creatures, and were able to swiftly bring down unsuspecting prey. The mouth of the malia was filled with three rows of incredibly sharp teeth, giving the malia the ability to grasp its prey and rend huge chunks of flesh from its body. (TTB, JQ2)

Mal'ia, Kursk

Later, Mali'ia was promoted to Commodore, and served in the Tactical Analysis Bureau. Kursk reported to the New Republic Intelligence agency on the various new starship designs discovered during the struggle with Warlord Zsinj over Dathomir. Kursk placed primary focus on the Hapan designs and those of Zsinj's Raptors.

Malik
This Imperial agent posed as a crewman aboard the Star of Empire in order to get the Systems Infiltration Manager installed for its first test. Malik was then assigned to give Zak Arranda a tour of the ship's computer facilities. Malik was a gruff man, and didn't like the idea of being a nursemaid. He had been assigned to the crew by someone above Captain Hajj, who despised his presence and would have thrown Malik in the brig at the first opportunity. Malik, while being an excellent programmer, proved to be a soldier with a conscience, and told the SIM program that he wouldn't enter the codes to free its programming. So, the SIM programm tortured him in hopes of getting the codes. When Zak unwittingly typed in the code, Malik tried to stop him but was stunned by Dash Rendar. Malik was brought off the Star of Empire with Zak, Tash, and Hoole, and taken to an Alliance hospital for treatment. (GOF10)

Malik
This Rodian was once in love with Nib Nubbu's sister. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Malik was trapped on the planet Byrsym when the Empire assumed control of the planet. Despite his Rodian heritage, Malik was able to weasel his way into an Imperial job, taking on whatever menial tasks he was given in exchange for a few credits. When Nib Nubbu arrived on Byrsym some months later, Malik agreed to meet with him, if only to learn what had become of his sister. Malik later revealed that Ballon had purchased a large cache of weapons, and helped Nib and his companions meet with Ballon at Emthuul's, where they hoped to learn more about Prince Torrin's whereabouts. After the meeting, Malik offered up his own residence as somewhere that Nib and his friends could stay while waiting to locate Prince Torrin. However, before he could help them out, Malik was caught by Imperial security forces and interrogated. He quickly gave the Imperials Ballon's name, hoping to save his own skin. (FR)

Malik Technologies
This small corporation produced a variety of environmental clothing and protective suits. (GSE)

Malio Preserve Units
These three buildings were part of Tipoca City, on the planet Kamino, and contained all the genetic materials from all stages of development of the clones that were produced by the Kaminoans. The Preserve Units were filled with alpha- and beta-level templates, as well as several lesser variants, of everything from clones aiwhas and svapers to the different types of clone troopers produced for the Grand Army of the Republic. It was believed that templates for sentient races like the mudmen of Roon and the Filar-Nitzan, although these races were never successfully cloned. Investigation into Kaminoan records also revealed that there were templates for the amphistaffs of the Yuuzhan Vong, obtained at some point before the onset of the Clone Wars. This amphistaff was later the subject of a Peace Brigade mission to Kamino, that was thwarted by Kina Ha. (GORW)

Malis
This bounty hunter once agreed to be interviewed by Regnor Vanth for the Sektor 242 NewsLine, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. Malis was an Imperial-licensed hunter, and had a twisted sense of justice. He believed that he hunted members of the Alliance because they were criminals, claiming that Luke Skywalker was a vicious murderer for destroying the Death Star, along with the multitude of personnel aboard. Malis believed that Alderaan should have been destroyed, since it was the homeworld of rebellion against the order of the Empire. Malis also believed that he himself was simply a hunter, not a murderer, despite his record of bringing back bounties dead more often than not. Much of his belief system stemmed from the fact that he was the only survivor of an Alliance raid on Keskin, which wiped out his entire platoon. (GG10, OWS)

Maliss, Ket
This Dashade "shadow killer" was a bounty hunter working for Prince Xizor. He was a thick-bodied humanoid with smooth, dark skin. He had small, beady eyes set in a wrinkled face, and his lipless mouth was filled with sharp fangs. Among his greatest achievements for Black Sun was the extermination of the Disac pirate gang, which had been plaguing Sprax's operations along the Sisar Run. Maliss was also the last of the Dashade species, and was the last of the cryogenically-preserved killers maintained by Xizor's family. (CCG, SSR)

Malium
This trace element was found only on the planet Cerea. It exists in the atmosphere in just a few parts per trillion, but this concentration was just right for the growth of tecave. The export of malium from Cerea was prohibited, but an underworld business in its collection sprung up when offworlders discovered the euphoric effects of guilea, which was made from tecave. (PTR)

Maliyu, Basz
This Mon Calamari smuggler was believed to have been the traitor who betrayed the Syvris shadowport's location to the Empire. It was believed that Basz was once an Imperial slave, and many of his rivals attributed his ease with Imperial officers to this story. Others have said that he made friends with the Imperials to ensure his other business dealings weren't interfered with. Whatever the reason, he was shunned after the destruction of Syvris shadowport. (SWJ13, PSG)

Malk
This was one of the more common Kel Dor surnames. It referred to a smith who worked with common metals. (GCG)

Malka
This Imperial officer served as a Colonel in the armed forces, serving Admiral Giel during the years following the Battle of Yavin. In this capacity, Malka was able to escape with Giel from their damaged starship, only to be stranded on the planet Beheboth. There, Malka maintained a daily journal of their experiences, hoping that Giel might one day return to power. If he did, Malka might be able to parlay his journals into a series of best-selling holonovels, thereby earning himself a huge fortune in book and movie deals. In these journals, Malka documented virutally every aspect of Giel's plans, including the creation of speciallized globes that could contain a small collection of Tirrith. These globes were later used as weapons, releasing specially-modified Tirrith to destroy certain outposts. Giel planned to use these Tirrith to destroy the Alliance, in an effort to regain his position of power. When Darial Anglethorn discovered their plans, they tried to escape. Darial got off a shot at Giel, who shoved Malka in front of the blast. Malka later died of his injuries, as Giel took their ship and fled. However, parts of Malka's journals were eventually recovered by Luke Skywalker, who took them back to the leaders of the Alliance as a warning of Giel's actions. (MC61, PH)

Once they graduated from the program, Malkite Poisoners were given a special kit to carry the tools of their trade. (HSR, CSA)

Malkite Poisoner's Kit
This small, easily hidden case contained the poisons and tools used by Malkite Poisoners. The poisons were very effective, and were often missed by food and air testers. Also contained in the kit were certain antidotes that could be administered to food tasters, to counteract the poisons that were meant for their employers. In this way, poisons could be added to the foods of royalty or highly-ranked beings without them discovering it until it was too late. (HSR)

Malkite Ring
This was another name used to describe the Malkite Poisoners. (GUN)

Malkloc
This creature was native to the planet Dathomir, although it was unclear if the species occurred naturally or was introduced as a bio-engineered species.

Mallar, Plat
A Grannan from Polneye who fought against the Yevethan invaders during the Great Purge. He was training a group of youths in the TIE Interceptors when the attack came, and he quickly took control of one of the old fighters. He was able to destroy a Yevethan TIE Fighter before he was intercepted by an Imperial-class Star Destroyer. He turned tail and fled into the stars, where he tried to reach someone who could help his people. The Interceptor was later picked up by a New Republic prowler ship and brought to Coruscant. Mallar was sent to the New Republic Fleet Infirmary, where he came under the attention of Admiral Ackbar. Ackbar recognized the potential in the youth, despite the severe exposure to deep-space cold and lack of nutrition. Mallar recovered, and became one of the key witnesses against the Yevetha. He wanted nothing more than to join the Republic's Navy and fly a starfighter against the Yevetha, and Ackbar spearheaded Mallar's acceptance into Naval training. Ackbar also personally oversaw Mallar's early training, placing him in simulations against Yevethan starfighters in order to temper Mallar's hatred while honing his skills. When the orders came that the Republic was blockading the Koornacht Cluster, Mallar was placed on active duty. He was tapped, along with several other pilots to fly recon duty to survey Yevethan forces in the Cluster. Mallar never got a chance to fly, though, as others with more experience were sent out first. Instead, Mallar drew escort duty for the shuttle Tampion, which was supposed to transport Han Solo to the Fifth Battle Group. The shuttle was intercepter by the Yevetha and, despite the best efforts of the escorts, Solo was taken prisoner. He came under intense scrutiny, but was not accused of negligence. He was then attached to the Fifth fleet, as a shuttle pilot on the Mandjur during the Battle of N'zoth. His chance to prove himself came when the Mandjur was hit with Yevethan missiles and rendered powerless. He took Captain Teggett's X-Wing out and rescued several stranded pilots before the Rebublic was able to defeat the Yevethan fleet. (BTS, SOL, TT)

This female Wookiee was Chewbacca's mate. Among her family, her name was often shortened to just Malla. As a young Wookiee, she was a caregiver to many of the elderly Wookiees of Chewbacca's community, including Attichitcuk. This time spent with Chewie's extended family - and primarily his father - brought the two together. Their relationship was not without trouble, especially during their early years together, when Chewbacca was challenged by Tojjevvuk for the right to bond with Malla. Tojjevvuk was killed during their fight, earning Chewbacca the right to marry Malla, but also the anger of the Tojj clan.

When the Empire raided Kashyyyk for slaves and took Chewbacca, Malla waited for nearly fifty years until Chewie was freed by Han Solo. She raised their son Lumpawarump with the help of Attichitcuk, allowing Chewbacca to travel the galaxy in order to fufill his life debt to Han Solo. (WSB, TT, THG, LF6)

Mallif Cove
This island, located on the planet Recopia, was given over to a group of religious monks who wanted to ponder the mysteries of the galaxy in relative isolation. The monks were descendd from the Seyugi Dervishes, but the modern monks of the New Republic had forgotten all about who their ancestors were. Because of this, the green-robed monks - as well as the rest of Recopia's population - were unaware that the basement levels of their fortress contained hibernation chambers, in which a group of Seyugi Dervishes slept, waiting to be reanimated.

Malorm Family
This mafia-like group of five family members controlled a large criminal empire during the last decades of the Old Republic. They were known as a group of psychopathic killers, a reputation they earned after hijacking the luxury liner Galaxy Wanderer as it passed through the Corporate Sector. They dropped a number of the ship's passengers into deep space without any protection, stole everything of value from the ship's coffers, and escaped to the planet Matra VI, where they were eventually apprehended by Gallandro. Gallandro claimed a head bounty on the family, all at the same time, after they tried to kill Odumin. (HSL, CSA)

Malorum
This man was one of the first Inquisitors created by Emperor Palpatine during the early months of the New Order. Malorum was sent to the planet Bellassa to quell the population and subjugate the planet, as an example of what could happen to those planets that openly opposed the Empire. When it was learned that Ferus Olin and Roan Lands were behind many of the public demonstrations, Malorum set out to have them arrested and interrogated.

He hired the bounty hunters D'harhan and Boba Fett as a way to ensure their capture. However, only Roan was captured, and he resisted all attempts to wring information from him. His rescue by Amie Antin and Obi-Wan Kenobi prompted Inquisitor Malorum to issue Order 37 to his forces, allowing for the capture of hundreds of seditious citizens. Under a public decree made by Malorum, those captured would be executed unless Ferus turned himself in. However, when the time came to order the executions, Malorum found himself unable to act.

The entire population of Ussa had been alerted to the executions by the efforts of the Eleven, and Malorum was forced to hold off on the killings or risk a full-scale riot. This allowed Obi-Wan and Ferus to free the captives and escape before Malorum could put any other plans into motion. The two former Jedi then discovered that Malorum had been working for Darth Vader himself, gathering information of all kinds that related in any way to the former Jedi Order, including data on Polis Massa. The Jedi were able to obtain the information on Polis Massa before it could be transmitted, helping to keep the remote asteroid base a secret.

Upon returning to Coruscant, Malorum found himself under intense scrutiny by Darth Vader, who ordered Malorum to focus more on eliminating the underground resistance on Coruscant than worrying about the Jedi. In an act of defiance, Malorum chose to set up an office in Yoda's former quarters in the Jedi Temple to regroup and search for clues about the location of any surviving Jedi. It was Malorum himself who started the rumor that Jedi Knights were being held prisoner in the Temple, hoping to lure unsuspecting Jedi into a trap. In an effort to capture Ferus Olin, Malorum set off an explosion in the Temple, which angered Emperor Palpatine.

In an effort to appease the Emperor, Malorum set about destroying Solace and her underground hideout, but failed in this as well. Desparate to earn the Emperor's favor, Malorum then set out to establish the linkage between Darth Vader and the death of Senator Padme' Amidala. He nearly discovered the truth on Naboo before killing Ryoo Thule, but was intercepted by Ferus Olin. In a brief lightsaber struggle, Malorum lost his concentration and with it, his tenuous grasp on the Force. He plummeted into the core of the Theed Palace power generator station, and was killed in the fall.

He was succeeded as an Inquisitor by his own assistant, Hydra. (LJ1, LJ3, LJ4, LJ7)

Malray
This man, known to his comrades as "Hands," was one of the many independent spacers who worked in the Cularin System during the final years of the Old Republic. He was known in the business as Borrath Freelan's primary rival at the time. Like many of his fellow pilots, Malray resented the fact that Cularin chose to secede from the rest of the galactic community when the New Order was established by Emperor Palpatine. In order to maintain its isolation, Cularin's military stepped up its patrols, and forced independent spacers to endure lengthy and rigorous security checks before landing. (LFCW)

Malreaux
This family was once a powerful entity on the planet Vjun, working other royal families to govern the planet. The patriarchal family, whose livery was colored by cream and crimson, was ruled by a Viscount for many generations, until sometime just before the Clone Wars. It was believed that the original Viscount Malreaux was a pirate who patrolled the Bay of Tears. He grew to power, according to family legend, by extorting the locals with occasionally-broken promises to stop raiding passing ships. When a planet-wide plague caused much of the planet's population to go mad and die some eight years before the Battle of Geonosis, the seventeenth Viscount succumbed to the plague and went mad. He believed he was being poisoned, instead of having contracted the plague, and killed off his entire household staff to prevent further poisoning. His mental state continued to deteriorate, and he took to slinking through the halls of the Chateau Malreaux, only emerging at night. The last time anyone saw him alive was in the kitchen, when a security camera captured an emaciated Viscount stealing a drink of water. His body was found several days later, after the smell became unbearable. He was survived by his wife, Whirry, and a son named Whie, who was taken to Coruscant for training as a Jedi Knight. When Whie returned to Vjun with Jedi Master Yoda, Fidelis revealed that Whie's father had done some unique and intense experimentation with midi-chlorian bodies. It was believed that the Viscount was using his genetic manipulation techniques to instill his family with heightened Force sensitivities. He was part of a consortium of elitist nobles who wanted to be more powerful than their peers, not to mention the offworlders who visited their planet. It wasn't until a decade later that their experiments were the cause of the planet-wide madness that decimated the population of Vjun. (YDR)

Malreaux, Whie
This young man was the heir to the Malreaux family holdings on the planet Vjun, during the last decades of the Old Republic. He was discovered to have a strong connection to the Force, and was taken from him mother when he was a young infant. His father had just gone mad, and was killing the household staff because he believed they were poisoning him. Whirry was deathly afraid for Whie's life as the Viscount raged through the house. She pleaded with the Jedi to take her son, believing that Whie would be going to a better place than Vjun, but his absence only drove her insane. Whie, meanwhile, grew stronger in the Force, and eventually chose by Jedi Master Maks Leem as a Padawan. Whie was one of the small number of students who were exceptionally gifted in the Force, but took special care not to abuse his powers. What troubled Whie the most were the semi-prescient dreams he had at night, many of which soon came to pass as actual events. Some of these dreams were visions of his homeworld of Vjun, which he barely recognized. These dreams left him mentally and physically drained, and were a cause of concern for Master Leem as well, especially when he dreamed of events surrounding his own death. Whiel studying at the Temple, Whie participated in the Apprentice Tournament, and found himself fighting against Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy - otherwise known as Scout - in the final round. She surprised him by fighting through the pain of an intense thumb-hold to coil her arm and use her leverage to throw him to the ground. With the wind knocked out of him, Whie was forced to yield, much to the surprise of those attending. The tournament made them friends, but their abilities were tested shortly afterward, when both were assigned - along with their Masters - to accompany Yoda to Vjun. It was the knowlegde of this mission that put his latest dreams into perspective, as Whie realized that he was dreaming about Scout, covered in blood, at the hands of Asajj Ventress. While en route to Vjun, Whie was intercepted by the droid Fidelis, who revealed himself as a part of the Malreaux house. It was Fidelis who revealed much about Whie's past and his family, including the fact that Whie once had a brother. Whie was badly shaken when Maks Leem was killed by Ventress on Phindar, and resented the fact that Yoda tried to take his mind off her death by asking him to repair a ship and eat something. When they finally reached Vjun, Whie found it difficult to ignore the call of the Force, but he was blind to the fact that it was the Dark Side that was calling to him. Scout struggled to keep him focused, but her efforts were undermined when Fidelis - acting on orders from Whirry Malreaux - arranged for the Padawans to be trapped in the Crying Room with Ventress. The Padawans were spared when Solis distracted Ventress, and were later rescued by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, who had tracked Yoda to Vjun. Upon returning to Coruscant, Whie chose to sever his ties to Vjun and the Malreaux family, but was unsure about his future with the Jedi. He continued to train at the Jedi Temple, but was among the hundreds of students who were murdered by Anakin Skywalker, who had become the apprentice of Darth Sidious and was dispatched to cleanse the Jedi Temple of all living Jedi. Malreaux and Bene had been with Jedi Master Cin Drallig at the time of the attack, and was cut down by the new Sith Lord. Official reports that later aired on Imperial HoloVision claimed that Whie had been killed while trying to use mind control techniques on the citizens of Coruscant. (YDR, OWS, E3N, SWI87)

Malreaux, Whirry
This woman was the wife of the seventeenth (and final) Viscount Malreaux, and was the mother of Whie. Living on Vjun was hard on Whirry, and the fear of death during Vjun's plague of madness only added grief and heartache to her problems. Whirry herself was infected with the plague, and began to slowly lose her mind. Whie was discovered by a Jedi Master who felt his connection to the Force, just before his father went insane and began killing off the kitchen staff, whom he believed had poisoned him. Whirry feared for Whie's life and begged for him be taken to Coruscant, hoping that he would be able to grow up in a better place than Vjun. However, her already disconsolate mental state was badly shaken by Whie's absence, and Whirry went slowly insane. Her one sane action was to order the family droid, Fidelis, to follow Whie to Coruscant and keep an eye out for his safety. Years later, when Chateau Malreaux was usurped by Count Dooku during the height of the Clone Wars, Whirry was powerless to stop him. Dooku allowed her to live in the Chateau, serving as his maid while continually reminding her of her losses. Her only companion during this time was a Vjun fox named Miss Vix, a creature that vexed Dooku immensely. Dooku found himself entertained by Whirry's strange "talent" for telling a being's future by looking at the remains of an object they had broken by accident. The entertainment value dropped sharply when, just before Jedi Master Yoda arrived on Vjun, Dooku dropped a glass of wine to the floor. While cleaning up the broken glass, Whirry read the shards and told Dooku that he was shortly going to be in deep trouble. Later, when Dooku realized that Whie was on Vjun with Master Yoda, he demanded that Whirry order her personal droid Fidelis to arrange for Whie to meet with Asajj Ventress. Dooku held Miss Vix as his "hostage" in order to compel Whirry to obey, and then was forced to take Whirry hostage when Yoda appeared. In order to exact an escape, Dooku used the Force to fling Whirry out of a window, forcing Yoda to choose between pursuing Dooku and saving Whirry. Yoda chose to let Dooku escape, using the Force to catch Whirry before she could fall to her death. When she was finally reunited with Whie, Whirry found that she didn't recognize her son anymore, and her maddened mind believed that Whie was dead, rather than the young man she was seeing. (YDR)

Malreaux Rose
This was one of the few flowering planets that grew on the planet Vjun. It was cultivated by the Malreaux family, because its colors duplicated the livery of the Malreauxs. The Malreaux rose had white petals that were tipped with crimson. (YDR)

Malrev
This planet, the fourth in the Malrev System, was the site where the Starfaring was lost after a bug in its navigational software transposed the coordinates it was using. A temperate world covered with dense forest, Malrev IV was the homeworld of the Irrukiine race. It was also the location of a temple which was built on a nexus of Dark Side energy, a temple that was to be used as an outpost by Emperor Palpatine before he was killed at Endor. The temple later served as the base of power for the mad Devaronian Cartariun, who had been serving as a technician at the site. Cartariun used the Sith magics to control the native Irrukiine and make them fight using the powers of the Dark Side. Investigation by the Jedi historians of the New Republic later discovered that Marlev IV had served as the base of operations for the Sith leader known as the Dark Underlord, who established the Black Knights on the planet some 750 years before the Battle of Yavin. (XWRR, OWS)

Malrev Incident
Rogue Squadron participated in this battle, in which the Dark Side Adept Cartariun tried to take control of the planet Malrev. The magician was foiled by Dllr Nep and Herian I'ngre. (HXW)

Malrev IV

Malshae, Lorcu
This respected smuggler planned to sell the coordinates of Port Haven to Boba Fett, despite the objections of his co-pilot, Par'tha. In the end, though, Par'tha told Hallomar about Lorcu's plans, and a bomb was placed aboard his frieghter, the Moonglow. Just before Lorcu could meet with Fett, the bomb exploded, destroying the Moonglow and killing Lorcu with it. (PSPG)

Malt Ferment
This mildly-alcoholic beverage was popular among the younger generation of moisture farmers on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. (E4R)

Malta
This Hutt was one of Jabba's most loathsome associates, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Malta was so immensely obese that his eyes could barely open because of the fat surrounding them. When Malta agreed to a bet with Jabba and Embra to find the Yavin Vassilika, Malta hired Denger, Bossk, and IG-88 to hunt down Illyan Webble and the crystal. Malta's attempt ended in failure, although he tried every cheat in the book to try and win. He even sent Jozzel Moffett out to personally recover the artifact, but Jozzel ended up with a fake. Years later, Malta was believed to have fled Hutt Space for Tatooine, when the Yuuzhan Vong took control of that area of the galaxy. (UYV, WOTC)

Malta's Falcon
This was the name of Malta the Hutt's personal transport ship. (WOTC)

Maltaz
This man served the Empire as a General in the Imperial Army, during the height of the New Order and the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. General Maltaz was responsible for deploying the Imperial forces that were dispatched to Turak IV, during the Empire's attempt to eliminate the Alliance's bsae there, and stem the growing tide of rebellion in the Parmel Sector. During the Battle of Turak IV, Maltaz allowed two battalions of the Hell's Hammers to be cut off from its supply lines by the Alliance soldiers hidden in the Hitak Mountains. Then, further compounding his bad decision, General Maltaz ordered these men to stand their ground, while he and the remained of his forces tried to stop the advance of the Alliance's Alliance soldiers. The two separated battalions were quickly reduced in strength to just three tanks, but the Hammers' never-say-die attitude kept them in the battle long enough for TIE Fighter reinforcements to arrive and bombard the Alliance's landing field. (ISB, OWS)

Maltha Obex
This was the Tobek name given to the planet Brath Qella. The Tobek discovered the planet some years after the Old Republic's Third General Survey team found it. The Survey team's follow-up expedition found the planet glaciated, and it was deemed that Brath Qella wasn't worth further effort. The planet seemed to disappear from Republic records, and was forgotten during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. The Tobek took control of the planet, and renamed it Maltha Obex, the name that appeared in the New Republic's database when Kroddok Stopa was dispatched to find Brath Qella. The intense hunt for information about the Qella led to the discovery that the planet originally had two moons. The orbit of one moon decayed, and it collided with the other. The resulting destruction caused both moons to crash into Brath Qella, plunging the world into an ice age. The natives of the planet - known as Qella - fled the world until such time as it recovered from the disaster, when they could return and repopulate it. (SOL, TT)

Malthor
This planet maintained a bustling trading industry, which supported the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. (CRO)

Malthorn
This man worked with Alexis Cov-Prim, ostensibly as a publicity agent. However, Malthorn was also an efficient bounty hunter whose skills helped finance some of Alexis's dealings. Malthorn was a skilled killer, and was responsible for the untimely deaths of Alexis's many husbands, earning a portion of the credits she received under the wills of the men. During the quest to obtain the Shard of Alderaan computer program, Malthorn hoped to capture Lex Kempo and Gunder Vren, thereby receiving the bountied on their heads. (LAA)

Malto, Queedle
This being was one of the best swoop racers on the planet Manaan, during the era of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)

Maltoria
This planet was located in a system of ore-rich asteroid fields. (DN1)

Maltorian Mining Belt
Located in orbited near the planet Maltoria, this asteroid belt was one of many that were controlled by the Reconstrucion Authority of the Galactic Alliance, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The operations within the belt were protected by the efforts of Zekk and his fellow Jedi Knights, who struggled to keep Three-Eye and his pirates from stealing all the ore. When Zekk left his post to answer UnuThul's call to join him in the Unknown Regions, Three-Eye pressed his advantage in the Maltorian mining belt. This prompted the RePlanetHab corporation to try and buy the pirates out, in the hopes of clearing the way for the delivery of the ore. Eventually, the pirates were driven off by the forces of the Galactic Alliance, and the mining belt was freed. (DN1)

Maltorran
This was a race of stocky beings which had oddly-joined limbs. (HSL)

Maltrid, Phluche
This stooped Herglic was distinguished by his eerie, wandering stare. He made a modest living renting hydrobikes in the resort community of Le Yer, on Abregado-Rae, during the New Order. (ND)

Malubi
This malvil-tree, located on the planet Xagobah, had been bound to Xeran's family for thousands of years. (BF5)

Mal'urc
This Bothan was a supporter of the Alliance, and was known to have destroyed an Imperial AT-AT walker using the J8Q Finbat concussion missile. (GUN)

Malvarra, Moris
This Alliance special agent was assigned by Ral'Rai Muvunc to act as an observer aboard the pirate ship Dark Revenge, after the Alliance contracted Dharus to raid Imperial convoys. Malvarra almost immediately requested a transfer, fearing that the pirates were too violent. Muvunc refused to transfer him, despite the fact that ever other observer placed on board the Dark Revenge also requested transfer. (PP)

Malvil-tree
This tree-shaped fungus was native to the planet Xagobah. These immense fungus provided a source of food and shelter for the native Xamsters, and a single family was often bound to a given tree for many generations. In return, the Xamster families protected their malvil-trees with their lives. Like many of the plants and fungus found on Xagobah, the malvil-tree was carnivorous, and used a collection of branch-like tentacles to grasp its prey. The spores of the malvil-tree were known for the way in which they reflected certain wavelengths of light, creating an impenetrable cloud when ejected into the air. The Xamsters discovered this and used the spores while hunting, creating a cloud around their bodies to literally "hide" them from their prey. They also discovered that the malvil-trees usde their spores as a kind of message carrier, using chemicals to "talk" to one another. Wat Tambor tampered with the malvil-tree's genetic makeup, and was able to produce a derivative strain of malvil-tree that produced spores that could be used to cloak a vessel. (BF5)

Malya
This young woman was Rukil's chief apprentice during the era of the Great Sith War. However, she was killed outside the Undercity area of Taris, and her body was unceremoniously dumped in a remote section of the city. A group of Jedi Knights, on Taris after the destruction of the Endar Spire located and returned her body to Rukil. (KOTOR)

Mama
This alien operated Mama's on the planet Ord Mantell. She was a Columi, with a huge head and miniscule body. (SL)

Mama's
This establishment was the closest thing to a smuggler's guild to be found on the planet Ord Mantell. It was owned by the Columi known simply as "Mama." (SL)

Mambay
This Jawa word translated loosely into Basic as "I hope so" or "Okay", depending on the context. (TG, GPB)

Mamendin
This planet was located in the Core Worlds. (JQ8)

Mamien
This mammalian primate was native to the jungles of Yavin 4. (SWGAL)

Man
This was one of the many family names used by the Bothan people. It translated loosely to "farmer". (GCG, WOTC)

Manaa, Gresh
This short, rotund man served as the Prime Minister of the planet Delaya, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. In the wake of the destruction of Alderaan, Prime Minister Manaa and his deputy, Var Lyonn, pledged to provide for the many refugees who arrived on the planet, despite the growing protests of the native Delayans. However, many beings questioned the Prime Minister's sincerity, because he held very little real power. Most of the government was run by deputy Lyonn, and many Delayans considered him untrustworthy at best. Thus, when they greeted Princes Leia Organa shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Prime Minister Manaa simply walked with them while Var Lyonn did all the talking, steering the Princess and her companions to the cleaner parts of the capital city of Leilani. 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. After Lyonn was killed during the mission to rescue Leia from an Imperial facility on Delaya, Prime Minister Manaa was quick to apologize for her treatment. However, he refused to admit any wrongdoing in his treatment of the Alderaanian refugees, claiming that his first duty was always to the natives of the planet Delaya. He was shocked when Leia then explained that she would anonymously send Darth Vader a transmission claiming that Manaa had been secretly supporting the Rebel Alliance, threatening the safety and security of the native Delayans. Manaa was forced to agree to provide full assistance to the Alderaanian refugees, in order to protect his own people. (RF2)

Manaan
This ocean-covered planet, the second world in the Pyrshak System, was the homeworld of the Selkath race. It was an aquatic world known as the only source of kolto, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. During this time, the native Selkath tried to remain neutral in an effort to maintain control of kolto production. However, when production mysteriously halted, the Selkath appealed to the Old Republic for help. Since Manaan was not officially a member of the Republic, help was neved dispatched to the remote world. Since that time, kolto production had steadily recovered, but the Selkath vowed never to allow outside influences to control their planet or the production of kolto. During the era of the New Order, the planet was subjugated by the Empire and transformed into a resort world, as a way to cover up Emperor Palpatine's true interest in the planet. While the Guide to Beautiful Manaandescribed the planet's oceans as pristine blue waters, most visitors discovered polluted, greenish water that gave off strange odors. (KOTOR, PH)

Manaan Slider
This was one of the signature sliders that were available at Dex's Diner, during the final years of the Old Republic. Unlike the regular sliders that were made with Mongo Beefhead meat, the Manaan Slider was made with a fillet of firaxan shark meat. Served on medium-density food-board, this sandwich was topped with Ahto City cheese, Selkathian seaweed, and relish squiggles. (OWS)

Manadept
This was one of the many species of domesticated greysors native to the planet Naboo. (WSW)

Manager Class Mark II Capacitor
This droid interface unit was designed by Kuat Systems Engineering for use aboard starships, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Managing Council
This was the name given to those beings who were charged with making policy decisions for the survivors of the Outblund Flight Project. (SQ)

Manak
This plant, native to the cooler grottoes of the planet Tatooine, was harvested for its flavorful leaves. Manak leaves were used to wrap gorgs for roasting. (WSW, SWDB)

Manakur
This creature was known for its ability to climb tall trees in order to feed on the ripe fruit that grew from the branches. (CWN)

Manalin
This hot, poisonous, rocky world was the first planet in the Joralla System. (PG1)

Manarai Hills
This was one of the most luxurious and expensive residential sectors of the planet Coruscant, during the early years of the New Order. The buildings found in the Manarai Hills district were a mixture of architectural styles, most of which were designed by Benits Stinex. Most homes and conapts were semi-autonomous, allowing the owners to deal with only the most minimal of housework. (CN2)

Manarai Mountains
This was the name of a range of snow-covered mountains located south of Imperial City on Coruscant. Luke Skywalker built a private retreat within the Manarai sometime after establishing his praxeum on Yavin 4. Note that most other sources claim that the only visible part of the Manarai Mountains was the tiny hump of rock found in Monument Park. Also note that this range of mountains was sometimes referred to as the Menarai in Before the Storm. (HTTE, TNR, BTS)

Manarai Uplift
This was one of the many buildings, located on the planet Coruscant, that provided a skyway tunnel through its upper reaches to facilitate traffic. However, the skyway known as Hazad's Skytunnel was generally considered one of the most dangerous skyways on the planet. (LEV)

Manarai, The
This was one of the most expensive and exclusive restaurants located in Coruscant's Imperial City. Prince Xizor was a silent partner in the business. (SE)

Manari
This planet was one of many worlds that were ravaged by the Clone Wars. (RDV)

Manaroo
This female Aruzan was Abano's daughter. An accomplished dancer, Manaroo was known by many Aruzans for her natural talents. She was recognizable by her fair blue skin and dark blue air. Manaroo was taken off Aruza by the bounty hunter Dengar before Imperial troops could "process" her. After Dengar was accepted as part of the Imperial bounty hunt for Han Solo, Manaroo found work on Cloud City as a dancer. She danced to a band's accompanyment while juggling colored stones. She became lonely, though, and offered to share herself with Dengar via her Attanni. She fled Cloud City with Dengar after the Empire garrisoned it, and travelled to Tatooine. During the trip, she gave Dengar a link to her Attanni, and they shared each other's emotions and thoughts. Before reaching Tatooine, Dengar took her to Aruza to rescue her parents, then went to the desert world. She was captured by a huge, loose-skinned creature at the Mos Eisley cantina and brought to Jabba the Hutt as a dancer. She danced several times, almost all for her life, as Jabba's palace was thrown into chaos. The Alliance rescued Han Solo in a daring plot led by Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, and Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon. Manaroo escaped and searched for Dengar, finding him in the Valley of Wind and rescuing him. As he recovered, Dengar agreed to marry Manaroo. In an effort to pay off their bills, they tried to raid Jabba's sail barge for lost credits, but found Boba Fett instead. They took the nearly-dead Fett back to Dengar's hideout in the desert, along with the female dancer, Neelah. Once there, Dengar insisted that she take the Punishing One and go into hiding. He was worried that their association with Boba Fett would lead to trouble. Manaroo agreed, and remained with the ship near Tatooine for nearly a month while Fett healed and the bounty hunters struggled against Kuat of Kuat and the assembler Balancesheet. It was during this time that Manaroo, realizing that they needed a huge fortune to clear their debts and retire, placed a bet with Drawmas Sma'Da on the fate of Dengar himself. Sma'Da took the bet, having little faith in Dengar's abilities. In the final struggle over the planet Kuat, Manaroo managed to save them all by rescuing the Hound's Tooth before it could disintegrate. She then contacted Sma'Da and recovered her winnings, a sum more than sufficient to pay off their debts. After Dengar finally agreed to retire, Boba Fett agreed to be the best man at their wedding. (TBH, MA, HM)

Manax
This fruit tree was native to the planet Cato Neimoidia, where it was cultivated by the Neimoidians. Many beings across the galaxy believed that the manax tree was the source of the nutritive fungus developed and sold by the Neimoidians. In reality, the manax tree was simply the growth medium. Leaves and bark from the trees was collected and ground into compost that was spread in vast, underground chambers known as fungus farms. (LEV)

Manazar
This starship officer served as the First Officer of the Penga Rift, under Captain Barjas. He was often referred to by his nickname, Mazz. (TT)

Manchisco, Tessa
A native of the planet Virgillia 7, this woman was a veteran Captain who served briefly with the Alliance. The commander of the cruiser Flurry, Tessa joined the Alliance fleet at Endor shortly after serving in the Virgillian Civil War. Tessa was instrumental in the organization of guerilla warriors into serious military units during the civil war, turning the tide against the sheer power of her Imperial-backed enemies. She later commanded a small fleet of twenty-two ships sent to Sullust by the Virgillian Free Alignment. A student of the Virgillian military, Tessa's tactics were unorthodox, and confused the Imperial captains during the civil war and at Endor. She and her crew were killed near Bakura, when Imperial Governor Nereus ordered his ships to fire on the Alliance's ships, following a battle against the Ssi-ruuk. (TB, TBSB)

Mand Bunker
This small corporation produced several series of medical and repair droids during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Manda
This Mando'a word referred to a state of being that all Mandalorians had, in which they were united in mind, body, and spirit. This word could also refer to the collective soul of the Mandalorian people, and was sometimes used to describe heaven. When used as an adjective, manda could mean "supreme" or "guardian-like." It was said that Mandalorians passed into the manda when they died. (OWS, SWI86, LF5)

Manda
This planet, the primary world in the Manda System, was known for its rundown spaceport, which was operative early in the Galactic Civil War. (DCAR, SWJ5, SWDB, HNN4)

Mandaba
This was the Selonian word for "language." (AS)

Mandaeen, Zeb
This man was, at one time, a member of the Republic Correctional Officers' Union, during the years prior to the Battle of Naboo. He was arrested and sent to the Oovo IV prison facility for the theft of a huge sum of credits from the InterGalactic Banking Clan. Despite his arrest, Mandaeen found himself the object of a bounty issued by the IBC, who wanted to bring Mandaeen in to answer for his crimes against some of their "less reputable but equally important" customers. Mandaeen believed himself safe, until Jango Fett infiltrated the prison facility to "rescue" Bendix Fust. During the attempt, Jango managed to claim the bounty on Mandaeen's head. (BH)

Mandallian Campaigns
This was a series of battles fought between the Mandalorian Crusaders and the Mandallian Giants, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. (SWI80)

Mandallian Giant
This was a race of immense, heavily-muscled humanoids which was covered in green scales. The head of the Mandallian was dominated by its large, pointed ears, and its face was protected by a bony plate. Its mouth was filled with serrated teeth, and a pair of needle-sharp fangs hung from its upper jaw. Mandallians were known throughout the galaxy for their military sklills, and many individuals were trained from birth in combative arts, making them formidable opponents. It was believed that the Mandallian Giants were the only race to ever fully survive an attack by the Mandalorian Crusaders, and the Mandallian Giants earned the respect of the Mandalorians for their devotion. Later, many Mandallian Giants were allowed to fight alongside the Mandalorians in several wars of conquest. (MC19, SWI80)

Mandallian Narcolethe
This Mandalorian alcohol was famous in the Outer Rim Territories. Developed many millennia before the Galactic Civil War, narcolethe was a powerful beverage that many beings considered to be little more than rocket fuel. During the Great Sith War, Mandalorian warriors literally fed their Basilisk war droids a mixture of unrefined narcolethe and locap plasma. (GG9, SWI80, NEGD)

Mandalmatrix
This was a form of computer network security adminstration system that was developed during the final decades of the Old Republic. The Mandalmatrix system monitored all traffic on a computer network, both incoming and outgoing, and ensured that unwanted or malicious data was allowed to propagate. (HNN4)

MandalMotors
This Mandalorian starship manufacturer had an outstanding reputation for designing military starships. MandalMotors was believed to have been created many centuries before the Galactic Civil War by Gustav Zenlav, a Mandalorian Merc known for his innovative designs for weapons and armor. During the height of the Clone Wars, MandalMotors was nationalized by the government of Mandalore and forced to produce materiel for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Years later, MandalMotors was not allowed to do business under the auspices of the New Order until an Imperial "advisor" - known as the Suprema - was placed on the company's board of directors. Following the Battle of Endor, the Suprema was ousted in favor of support for the New Republic.

In the decades following the Clone Wars, MandalMotors became the primary corporation on Mandalore, and the planet's economy became based almost solely on the fortunes of MandalMotors. The corporation's directors worked in concert with Boba Fett, the current Mandalore, to create policies that benefitted Mandalorian society, a relationship that became more important in the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, when the Galactic Alliance refused to provide assistance to help rebuild the planet. It was during this time that Fett purchased a large number of shares in MandalMotors, ensuring that the majority of the corporation's profits and shareholders had Mandalore's best interests in mind. (DESB, EGV, SWI80, PM, LF5)

MandalMotors Hall
This was the corporate headquarters of the MandalMotors corporation, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. It was located in the heart of Keldabe, on the planet Mandalore. The building had been donated to the Mandalorian people by MandalMotors executives, so that it could also be used as the primary seat of Mandalore's loose planetary government.

The building itself was austere, in keeping with Mandalorian tradition, resembling little more than a dark-gray granite edifice. (LF5)

Mand'alor
This Mando'a word meant "sole ruler," and was often used to refer to the leader of the Mandalorian peoples. It was generally held that only the Mand'alor and other individuals of his stature were buried after they died, as was their privilege as leaders. (OWS, SWI86)

Mandalor Motors
see MandalMotors (SWG2P)

Mandalore
This was the Basic word used to describe the Mand'alor, or the leader of the Mandalorian people. (KORH)

Mandalore
This was the name taken by the commanders of the ancient Mandalorian warriors. The original Mandalore became known as Mandalore the First, and subsequent leaders added descriptive words to differentiate themselves. The Mandalore served as the leader of his people, but was considered by many to be a leader without any formal recognition of their position. The planet Mandalore was never represented in the Galactic Senate, and the Mandalorians were never assimilated into the rest of galactic society. For many, this suited them just fine, as they were allowed to remain neutral throughout the conflicts that shook the galaxy.

In the wake of the Galactic Civil War, Boba Fett took on the role of Mandalore to the scattered dozens of Mandalorians who survived in the galaxy, although he was never regarded as a true Mandalorian. This fact was empahsized by that fact the Fett rarely set foot on the planet Mandalore, as well as the fact that he had abandoned the only family he had - his former wife Sintas Vel and their daughter, Ailyn. It was during this time that Fett came to realize that Mandalore - the planet - and Mandalore - the leader - were given the same name because they were supposed to synonymous, at least in the eyes of the Mandalorians. (TSW, SWI80, LF2, LF5)

Mandalore
An urban legend held that this jungle world was Boba Fett's home planet, since it was believed that the modern Mandalorian originated there. According to the legend, Emperor Palpatine ordered the Mandalorian warriors to join his forces during the Clone Wars. Of 212 warriors who went into battle, just three survived: Boba Fett, Fenn Shysa, and Tobbi Dala. In reality, Mandalore seemed to have been simply the first planet conquered by Mandalore the First, who arrived on the planet with his warriors and destroyed the native mythosaurs, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War.

In the wake of the Clone Wars, slavers moved in and established a base of operations within the huge skeleton of a long-dead beast. It was later revealed that Boba Fett's father, Jango Fett, was one of the few Mandalorians left in the galaxy at the time of the Battle of Geonosis, although Jango was actually a native of Concord Dawn. The modern Mandalorians, formed from a mostly-human group of beings who adhered to the culture and ethos of the original Mandalorians, were again beseiged by slavers during the era of the New Order, this time a group of Nagai, and they struggled to rid the planet of the slavemasters. It was during this time that Fenn Shysa and Tobi Dala tried to retake the planet, working with Leia Organa and the Alliance to free Mandalore once and for all.

Throughout much of its history, Mandalore's economy was driven almost entirely by the MandalMotors corporation. This relationship became extremely important in the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, when Mandalore was all but abandoned by the Galactic Alliance. The native population had been reduced by almost a third during the fighting, but those who had perished became remembered as the only people to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong on their own. This incredible loss of life forced many Mandalorians to return to their agrarian roots, in order to supplement their families when mercenary work and bounty hunting failed to bring in enough credits to survive. However, when Boba Fett assumed the role of Mand'alor, he adopted the idea of Mandalore First, and called for any ex-patriates to return to their homeworld.

In the following years, Mandalore experienced a rennaissance of sorts, and began to slowly return to self-sufficiency. This recovery was greatly aided by the discovery of a new, rich vein of Mandalorian Iron, which was sold at an incredible profit during the Galactic Alliance's war with The Confederation. However, the Mandalorians incurred the wrath of the Imperial Remnant when they attacked the Bloodfin during the Second Battle of Fondor, and later attacked the Imperial forces on the Nickel One asteroid when they tried to free the Verpine. Darth Caedus supplied the Galactic Alliance's Fifth Fleet to a mission to attack Mandalore in retaliation. The surviving Imperial Moffs also had Admiral Atoko deploy a nanokiller virus into the planet's atmosphere. The nanokiller had been developed from the blood of Mirta Gev, and was designed to destroy any member of Boba Fett's descendant family. Because the nanokiller had been created to last indefinitely, Boba Fett was unable to return to his new home, forcing him to serve as a Mand'alor in exile. (MC68, JFOS, MC100, SWI80, SWI86, NECH, PM, LF5, LF9)

Mand'alore
This Mando'a word was the plural of Mand'alor, and referred to the national leader of the Mandalorian peoples. It was generally held that only the Mand'alore were buried after they died, a privilege reserved for them as leaders. (SWI86)

Mandalore Sector
This was the name of the galactic sector that was centered on the planets Concord Dawn and Mandalore. (SWI86, PM)

Mandalore System
This planetary star system contained the planet Mandalore, which was believed to have been the home of the original Mandalorian race, as well as the origin of the Death Watch soldiers and the Mandalorian Shocktroopers. (E5, ISB, SWI86)

Mandalore the Drooler
This was a sarcastic nickname used by clone commando Fi to describe how he would have been named, if he were ever to take on the role of Mandalore. The nickname stemmed from the injuries FI sustained in combar during the Clone Wars, which badly damaged his brain and nearly killed him. (RC66)

Mandalore the First
This ancient Mandalorian warrior was the first of his kind to take control of the various sects and unite them under a common leader. He was generally credited with leading the invasion that conquered the planet Mandalore, which was believed to have been named for him. It was generally believed that Mandalore the First was the strongest of the Taungs who had been exiled from Coruscant. (SWI80, NECH)

Mandalore the Indomitable
This was the name of the Mandalorian Neo-Crusader who took control of the ancient brotherhood shortly before the onset of the Great Sith War. Mandalore the Indomitable was defeated by Ulic Qel-Droma during the fighting, and agreed to help Ulic during the Sith War. He helped Ulic realize that Aleema was misleading him, but continued to fight for the Sith. Mandalore sent his forces to Kemplex Nine, while he himself went to Coruscant to rescue Ulic and Exar Kun. After regrouping their forces, the Sith Lords ordered the Mandalorians to descend on Onderon. Mandalore agreed to the mission, and attacked Iziz. However, his forces were overcome Onderon during a pass of the Dxun moon, and fled to the moon for refuge. There, Mandalore the Indomitable was killed by one of the Dxun beasts. He was eventually succeeded by a Taung soldier who ruled the Mandalorians for many years. (TSW, SWI80, KORH)

Mandalore the Resurrector
This was the name adopted by the aberrant clone trooper Alpha-02, who was also known as Spar, after he escaped from Kamino and traveled to Mandalore. Alpha-02 was obsessed with restoring the Mandalorian Protectors after Jango Fett's memories were unlocked in his mind. (SWI80)

Mandalore the Ultimate
This was the title used by the leader of the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders during the era of the Old Sith Wars. Mandalore the Ultimate took control of the Mandalorian survivors after the death of Mandalore the Indomitable on Dxun, rallying the survivors of the Great Sith War and forming the Neo-Crusaders in the process. This Mandalore believed that the Great Last Battle was at hand, and accepted beings of any race to join him in the quest for immoratilty through combat. During the Mandalorian Wars, Mandalore the Ultimate was vanquished by the forces of the Old Republic, and the Mandalorian order was again left battered and leaderless. (SWI80)

Mandalore-First
This was the Basic translation of the Mandalorian movement known as Kadikla. (LF8)

Mandalorian
This was the common name of the Mando'a language that was spoken by the Mandalorian people. (WOTC, SWI80, OWS)

Mandalorian
Although xenoanthropologists disagree on whether or not this alien race was actually native to the planet Mandalore, they were in agreement that the ancient Mandalorians were a race of gray-skinned beings who were almost constantly at war. Analysis of the physiology of the ancient Mandalorians and their language pointed to the possibility that the Mandalorians were actually the descendants of the Taungs of Coruscant. What was known for sure was that the ancient Mandalorians eventually died out, and that, some 5,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, the name "Mandalorian" became a catch-all for any being - regardless of race - who adhered to the tenets of the original Mandalorian shock troopers. Modern Mandalorians were primarily human, and were bound together by a common code of ethics - known as the Resol'nare - that spanned racial and social boundaries. This resulted in a civilization that lacked any specific ethnic commonality, and was at once exceptionally violent and extremely tolerant. Evidence of this extended from their military, which included both males and females in its ranks, to their language, which lacked any sort of gender-specificity. The traditional Mandalorian greeting - grasping each other's arms above the wrist - was as much a show of solidarity as a show of strength, and stemmed from the notion that an individual had to have enough hand strength to pull a comrade to safety.

Modern Mandalorians valued family and loyalty, and although each was expected to marry for life, it was understood that circumstances could disrupt a marriage. As the saying went, Aliit ori'shya tal'din, or "Family is more than bloodlines." To be exiled from one's family, or from the Mandalorian people, was not unheard of, but it was considered to be among the strongest of punishments an individual could face. When a man and woman produced a male offspring, they often waited at least eight years before getting pregnant again, to allow for the training of the son. If a female offspring came from a pregnancy, the couple often tried to give birth to a son soon after. This was not to say that females were valued any less in Mandalorian society, but the woman's role was often the defense of the home, rather than the clan or the Mandalorian people. Nevertheless, both male and female children were taught combat skills until they were thirteen years old, at which point they were required to undergo the rites of passage that would make them adults. Marriage often occurred shortly after coming of age, allowing a couple to have children while they were still young.

The galaxy at large came to identify the Mandalorians with their signature armor, although anthropologists recognized that the armor was simply a manifestation of the Mandalorian's heart and desire. Mandalorians were known to most beings as mercenaries for hire, but few beings truly comprehended the depths of Mandalorian ideas of loyalty and commitment. By the time of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, many believed that the Mandalorians had all but disappeared, with only the bounty hunter Boba Fett preserving their legacy. Fett, however, had assumed the role of Mandalore and began reinstating the Mandalorian culture to a small group of individuals. Their presence was noted even by the rogue Jedi Master Vergere, who claimed that the Mandalorians were one of the strongest factions in the galaxy, when explaining the galaxy to Warmaster Tsavong Lah. It was later learned that nearly one of every three Mandalorians died defending their homeworld from the Yuuzhan Vong, although their defense was the only known example of a single culture resisting the alien invaders. The staggering loss of life forced many Mandalorians to return home, in an effort to eke out an existence in farming or other rustic professions, when bounty hunting and mercenary work failed to earn them enough credits.

Fett, for his part, struggled with the role of Mandalore, until he was reunited with his granddaughter, Mirta Gev. Together, they worked to rediscover the Mando way. Fett issued a call for any Mandalorians at large in the galaxy to return home, boosting the native population and providing a better base from which to rebuild. Fett's efforts were greatly enhanced when a massive lode of undiscovered beskar - Mandalorian Iron - was discovered near Enceri. This ore provided a huge economic boost to the Mandalorian people, allowing them the chance to restore themselves to their former glory. (SWI80, OWS, SWI86, RCTZ, PM, LF5, RC66)

Mandalorian Battle Harness
This was the original form of rocket pack used by the ancient Mandalorian Crusaders, although it was much more than simply a propulsion system. The Battle Harness was a colossal weapons platform that transformed a simple Mandalorian Merc into a one-man arsenal. The Battle Harness consisted of two huge, articulated arms that were connected by sophisticated motion-control sensors to the arms of the Mandalorian. This allowed the Mandalorian to control the action of the arms with the movements of their own arms. One of these arms ended in a trip hammer that could pound its way through obstacles. The other arm was an immense claw that could crush objects and tear down walls. Atop the Battle Harness was a blaster cannon, and several other emplacements were located on the Harness for laser weapons. Many of these Battle Harnesses survived the centuries, and were refurbished for use with specially-designed BL-series Battle Legionnaire droids during the height of the Clone Wars. (SWI80, NEGD)

Mandalorian Blademaster
This was a rank within the ancient Mandalorian military structure that was given to those individuals who demonstration exceptional competence in the use of handheld or melee weapons, especially swords and daggers. (SWMW)

Mandalorian Blockade
The Mandalorian Blockade occurred during the era of the Great Galactic War, when Mandalorian forces cut off large sections of the Hydian Way and the Rimma Trade Route. This left the Galactic Republic without a way to defend its member worlds, and brought a halt to trade and commerce to planets along both hyperroutes. Military actions proved largely ineffective, as the Mandalorians savagely held their ground. Mandalorian control of the Hydian Way and the Rimma Trade Route continued until a group of independent spacers known as the Smuggling Contingent stepped in to get supplies to impoverished worlds in the Core regions. Although their initial intentions were quite humanitarian, Hylo Visz also saw a chance to reap incredible rewards for herself and the members of the contingent. Her plan for breaking the blockade was quite simple, and involved the element of surprise, hoping that the Mandalorians would not know what to do when confronted by smugglers. Visz and the other smuggling leaders filled their largest transports with supplies and raw goods, before making hyperspace jumps to the choke points of the blockade. She timed the reversion to realspace so that the smuggling ships were no less than a parsec from the Mandalorian ships, giving the Mandalorians reason to question what was happening. In the brief time she was given, Hylo Visz ordered her ragtag fleet of attack ships to drop out of hyperspace and attack the Mandalorians. Although initially outgunned by the Mandalorians, the smuggling ships were much smaller and more manevuerable, and they were soon assisted by Republic warships from nearby worlds, after communications from the blockade told of the attack. This combined force managed to drive off the Mandalorians and smash the blockade, opening up trade once more. (SV, SWORW)

Mandalorian Civil War
This was the name used to describe the period of history just before the onset of the Clone Wars, after Jaster Mereel assumed control of the Mandalorian Mercs. Mereel dreamed of uniting the disparate clans of Mandalorian loyalists under a single leader, to refocus their energies and restore the Mandalorians to their former glory and power. He also hoped to eliminate the public's opinion of the Mandalorian Mercs as amoral killers, especially after they decimated the Ithullan race. Jaster's rise to power and the creation of the Codex forced other Mandalorian Mercs to break away from Mereel's band, thus setting off the civil war. Vizsla rose to power as Mereel's primary rival, forming the Mandalorian Death Watch. In response, Mereel named himself the leaders of the True Mandalorians, and both sides set out to destroy the other. Ultimately, the Mandalorian Civil Wars very nearly wiped out both sides of the conflict and would have ultimately eradicated the Mandalorians from the galaxy. A handful of Death Watchmen survived, as did the True Mandalorian Jango Fett. (SWI80, NECH)

Mandalorian Combat Suit
This was the most common form of armor worn by the Mandalorian soldiers who waged war against the Galactic Republic, during the decades that followed the Great Sith War. (WOTC)

Mandalorian Crusaders
This group was considered by many galactic historians to have been the first true group of Mandalorian shock troopers formed in the galaxy. The origins of the Crusaders have been traced back more than 5,000 years before the Battle of Endor, to a race of gray-skinned, apelike humanoid nomads that traveled through space seeking conflict of any kind. The Crusaders adhered to a loose set of laws known as the Canons of Honor, and were known to use state-of-the-art technology in their conquests. Religious historians discovered that the original Crusaders were a group of warriors dedicated to quasi-religious ideals, but over time, the Crusaders came to worship war and carnage. The Mandalorian Crusaders were known to have exterminated entire races, including the Kuarans, Fenelar, and Tlonians. Their love for war and combat drove them to participate in the Great Sith War, fighting alongside the Sith when an all-out attack was launched on Coruscant. However, the Jedi Knights managed to defeat the Sith, and nearly wiped out the Mandalorian Crusaders. The armor of the Mandalorian Crusaders was relatively primitive, when compared to that of the modern Mandalorian Protectors. This stemmed from the fact that the armor was worn for hand-to-hand combat more than blaster fighting. It was organic in appearance, with the shoulders and knees being studded with short spikes. The armor could be sealed for use in space, and was equipped with a Zim Systems rocket pack. (SWI80, NECH)

Mandalorian Crushgaunt
This form of specialized, armored glove was first created in the Mandalore System by the Mandalorian Mercs. Each crushgaunt enhanced the wearer's ability to crush objects, such as hands or other body parts, allowing them to do considerable damage with minimal effort. The use of crushgaunts was outlawed by the Mandalorian government many centuries before the Galactic Civil War, but their use was later revived by the Mandalorian Death Watch. Within the hand of each crushgaunt was a mechanism that multiplied the crushing force of the wearer's hand, allowing the wearer to destroy bone, flesh, and metal with relative ease.

It was also rumored that one of Darth Vader's gloves was a crushgaunt, and that the being who recovered it after the Battle of Endor would become the next ruler of the Empire. It was later learned that this was a ruse that was perpetrated by the so-called Church of the Dark Side. During the height of the Galactic Alliance's war with The Confederation, some forty years after the Battle of Yavin, Boba Fett had a pair of crushgaunts made specially for Han Solo. The Mandalorians had discovered a new lode of beskar, and Fett delivered the crushgaunts to Solo with a thinly veiled message: use the crushgaunts to eliminate Jacen Solo. He eventually turned the crushgaunts over to Jagged Fel, who hoped to use them during his hunt for Alema Rar. (RM, SWI80, OWS, LF7)

Mandalorian Death Watch
This elite group of Mandalorian Mercs split off from the true Mandalorian shock troopers when Vizsla rebelled against the leadership of Jaster Mereel, several years before the onset of the Clone Wars. It was believed that the Death Watch was destroyed at about the same time as the rest of the Mandalorians, during the Mandalorian Civil War, and their order became something of a legend. The leaders of the planet Mandalore took advantage of these legends, and often blamed Mandalorian violence on members of the Death Watch. At the height of the Clone Wars, Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalore claimed to have exiled the surviving members of the Death Watch to the moon Concordia. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Boba Fett discovered that the Death Watch sect was still operative, having contracted with Black Sun for addition manpower and secrecy. During this time, their base of operations was hidden in the Red Sin Chimaera Nebula, near the Forest Moon of Endor. The armor of the Death Watchmen was distinctly different from that of the True Mandalorians, although the differences were in color. All Death Watchmen wore stark black armor, and their helmets were modified slightly to further distance themselves from their counterparts. The Death Watchmen were also only group of Mandalorians to regularly wear Mandalorian Crushgaunts, which had been outlawed by the Mandalorian government centuries earlier. (EGC, JFOS, SWGAL, SWI80, SWGAL, CWTV34)

Mandalorian Dreadnaught
This was one of the largest ships in the naval forces of the ancient Mandalorians, during the years following the Great Sith War. (KOR4)

Mandalorian Dungeon Ship
The basis for the Lictor-class ship, the Mandalorian dungeon ships were huge prisoner transport vessels which provided the most uncomfortable conditions for almost any species. This meant that the prisoners suffered the maximum discomfort before they were imprisoned on bleak, harsh worlds and left to die. Each of these ships measured almost a kilometer in length, and the interior sections of the ships were lined with ultradense alloys to prevent escape. Individual chambers could be reconfigured for a variety of activities, depending on the nature of the criminal and the amount of interrogation that needed to be done. (DE1, DESB, SWI80)

Mandalorian Hunter
This was the term used by Seff Hellin, during a discussion he had with Lando Calrissian, to describe a series of combat droids that could defeat a trained Mandalorian in battle. Hellin ran into Calrissian on the planet Taris, some forty-three years after the Battle of Yavin, and asked if Tendrando Arms had ever considered building a droid like the YVH series, but programmed to fight Mandalorians. Lando relayed the story of this meeting to Han and Leia Solo, fearing that Hellin and a group of renegade Jedi Knights might be planning to attack Chief of State Natasi Daala and her Mandalorian bodyguards. (MF)

Mandalorian Iron
This metal was first forged by the ancient Mandalorians, and the secrets for its creation were a closely guarded secret. It was made up from metal ores and certain minerals that were combined with certain carbons, which resulted in a molecular structure that resembled a cage. When heated and folded during the smelting process, the molecular cage became more dense, creating an incredibly strong metal.

Known in the Mandalorian language as beskar, Mandalorian iron was lighter than steel and was virtually indestructible, even to a lightsaber blade. Thousands of years before the Clone Wars, Jedi Master Arca hid Freedon Nadd's Sith artifacts in a storehouse built from Mandalorian Iron, in an effort to seal it forever, but Exar Kun used the Dark Side of The Force to penetrate it. During the era of the New Order, the Empire strip-mined large portions of Mandalore's surface in order to acquire Mandalorian iron, leaving only a few viable mines in their wake. These mines failed to provide much in the way of marketable ore, and many believed that the lodes of beskar had completely run dry.

However, in the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, much of the surface of the planet Mandalore was left as a blasted wasteland, with huge craters serving as a reminder of the alien invaders' vicious attacks. One of these crates, located near Enceri, was scanned from orbit, revealing a huge, undiscovered lode of Mandalorian Iron. Boba Fett, as Mandalore, ordered that the ore be analyzed and its suitability determined for use in weaponry. With the help of Medrit Vasur and others, the Mandalorians found themselves once again producing beskar for the galaxy, which helped them fill their coffers during a time of economic hardships. (DLS, SWI80, SWI86, PM, LF5)

Mandalorian Manacles
Locking devices used to clasp a captive's wrists together, these strong cuffs were made from Mandalorian Iron and were virtually inescapable. They come in many sizes to fit all kinds of races. (TOJ)

Mandalorian Marauders
This group of ancient Mandalorian soldiers used stealth and cunning, rather than brute force and sheer numbers, to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies. Prevalent during the decades following the Great Sith War, the Mandalorian Marauders branched off from the Neo-Crusaders, but retrained much of their distinctiuve armor. Marauders used stealth field generators to cover their presence, allowing them to infiltrate enemy territory and kill their targets without being discovered. The sudden death of various members of an enemy force was often enough to throw the enemy camp into chaos, allowing other Mandalorians to eliminate them with relative ease. Although the ranks of the Mandalorian Marauders dwindled over time, the traditions and skills of the Marauders were put to use by Mandalorian bounty hunters. (SWMW)

Mandalorian Mercs
This was the name used by the survivors of the Mandalorian Wars and the Old Sith Wars to describe their loose brotherhood. After the combined forces of the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights virtually wiped out the Neo-Crusaders, the surviving Mandalorians were forced to go into business as mercenaries to stay alive. Disparate clans of mercenaries were formed under the guidance of the old Mandalorian Canons of Honor, but these new Mercs worshipped the credits in their bank accounts more than anything else. (SWI80)

Mandalorian Orange
This flowering tree, which was believed to have been native to the planet Mandalore, produced a heavy, citrus fruit that was considered a culinary delicacy. As demand for the Mandalorian orange increased, many growers developed varieties that would grow on other planets. The fruit of the Mandalorian orange tree was covered by a thick rind, and the interior flesh was pulpy and filled with sweet juice. (OWS)

Mandalorian Protectors
This was the name used by the aberrant ARC Trooper Alpha-02 to describe the band of Mandalorian mercenaries he established on Mandalore during the height of the Clone Wars. Formed from local soldiers and policement, along with twelver former members of the Mandalorian Death Watch, the Mandalorian Protectors believed that they were working to restore the true Mandalorian order. On Mandalore, the Protectors helped the local government seize control of several prominent corporations, including MandalMotors. These corporations were no longer connected to the Old Republic, and the Protectors provided access to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Additionally, the Protectors agreed to carry out clandestine missions for the Separatists, working as their secret police force. It was the Protectors who launched intense attacks on Kamino and New Bornalex, destroying the cloning facilities there. However, in the wake of the Republic blitz that ended the Clone Wars, the Mandalorian Protectors were decimated. Of the 212 original members, only three survived the fighting: Tobbi Dala, Fenn Shysa, and a shell-shocked Alpha-02. Years later, during the height of the Galactic Civil War, the Protectors were revived by Fenn Shysa, who had returned to Mandalore and became the planetary leader. He also became the newest Mandalore, and under his control the Protectors flourished for many years, until Boba Fett himself returned to Mandalore. Fett had come to Mandalore at the request of Taun We, who asked him to hunt Shysa down and destroy him for his part in the attacks on Kamino during the last stages of the Clone Wars. With Shysa's death, Fett assumed control of the Protectors, and the band was instrumental in keeping Mandalore safe during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (SWI80, LSSM)

Mandalorian Ripper
This disruptor weapon, of Mandalorian manufacture, was produced during the height of the Great Sith War. Its design was similar to a weapon used by Jigger Wraith, which was essentially an energy-propelled slugthrower. (KOTOR)

Mandalorian Shock Troopers
This name was used generically to describe the supercommando warriors who followed the Canons of Honor of the ancient Mandalorians. It was believed that the very first shock troopers were known as the Mandalorian Crusaders, a group formed nearly 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin from clans of gray-skinned humanoids. Decades before the Battle of Endor, the Mandalorians - known for their distinctive armor and helmets - fractured into two distinct groups. The true Mandalorians were led by Jaster Mereel, while the splinter group named themselves the Death Watch, and were led by Vizsla. Vizsla nearly destroyed the true Mandalorians on Concord Dawn, but could not. Jaster and his forces regrouped and grew strong again, with the help of mercenaries like Jango Fett. However, they were continually led into traps set by Vizsla and the Death Watch, which led Montross to believe that Jaster's leadership was failing. Many of the Mandalorians, however, stood behind Jaster, and later Jango Fett after Jaster was killed by Vizsla on Korda 6. Montross fled the group, which managed to survive for several more years before being led into an ambush on Galidraan. They were hired by the planetary governor to help defeat a group of insurrectionist rebels, unaware that the governor was under the control of Vizsla himself. The governor, acting on Vizsla's orders, had also contacted the Old Republic Senate, requesting the assistance of the Jedi Knights in defeating the Mandalorians. The governor claimed that the Mandalorians had been slaughtering political activitists and killing women and children, claims that Vizsla's forces actually committed. The Jedi task force, led by then-Master Dooku, eliminated the Mandalorians in combat. Only Jango Fett survived, but he was turned over to the planetary governor of Galidraan and enslaved. Note that this military band was referred to as the Imperial Shocktroopers in issue number 5 of the Bantha Tracks newsletter According to the newsletter, the Imperial Shocktroopers were wiped out by the Jedi Knights during the Clone Wars. Also note that Star Wars: Republic - Show of Force indicates that the Republic staging area on New Holstice was attacked by Mandalorian troops some seventeen months after the Battle of Geonosis. (E5, VD2, JFOS, BTRKS5, RSF, SWI80)

Mandalorian Skull Banner
This was a specialized banner that was sometimes carried into battle by Mandalorian soldiers. Depicting the skull of a mythosaur, which the symbol of the Mandalore himself, the banner was created to instill fear in the enemy forces. (SWGAL)

Mandalorian Space
This was the term used by the early leaders of the New Republic to describe those planets that were controlled by, or swore allegiance to, the leaders of the planet Mandalore. (LSSM)

Mandalorian Strongbox
This specialized crate was developed by Mandalorian soldiers to protect their belongings. The strongbox was essentially a sealed container that could be secured with a security code or biometric scanner, so that only specific individuals could open it. (SWGAL)

Mandalorian Surrender
Believed to have originated on the planet Mandalore, this combat tactic involved one side of a conflict infiltrating a small band of agents into their opponent's base, on a set of false pretenses about helping out the opponent. When the opponent captured the agents and figured out that it was too late to do anything about the enemy, the infiltrators would try to explain that they were only trying to help. In an effort to "prove" their desire to help, the infiltrators would agree to call out other groups of infiltrators who were "hidden" from view. In this way, the first group of agents managed to get larger numbers of invaders inside the opponent's camp, and forced the opposing leaders to surrender under the sheer weight of their numbers. (DN2)

Mandalorian Wars
This was the name used by historians to describe series of battles waged by the Old Republic against the ancient Mandalorians, during the thirty-five years that followed the Great Sith War. After Mandalore the Ultimate agreed to fight alongside the Sith, the Old Republic decided that they needed to confront the Mandalorians as an enemy. Great effort was expended in defeating the Mandalorians, thereby eliminating the physical threat of the Great Sith War. The Republic could then focus its efforts on assisting the Jedi in the more mystical aspects of the war.

Initially, much of the Republic's battle plan involved meeting the Mandalorians in small proxy skirmishes, with small task forces fighting for control of remote border worlds. During the height of the Mandalorian Wars, the so-called clan territory of the Mandalorians expanded to the point that it was larger than Hutt Space, and the Mandalorians showed no inclination to stop. The Jedi Knights were called in when the Mandalorians nearly exterminated the Cathar race. Led by Revan and Malak, the Jedi were able to defeat the Mandalorians in direct combat, earning Revan the respect of the Mandalorians despite their loss. Note that the Ultimate Visual Guide indicates that the Mandalorian Wars took place just a year after the Great Sith War. (KOTOR, SWI80, UVG, NECH, KOR2)

Mandalorian Wine
This wine was believed to have certain regenerative powers for the body and mind. (SWGAL)

Mandalorians Never Surrender
This entertaining holovid was produced during the early months of the New Republic. Featuring a soundtrack that included some of the galaxy's hardest-driving musical styles, Mandalorians Never Surrender was considered a nutty, cult-classic farce by many critics and reviewers. (LSSM)

Mandalorian's Second Skin
This was a term used by many Mandalorians to describe their body armor, or beskar'gam. (RC66)

Mandalorians: Identity and its Influence on the Genome

Mandalorians: Identity and Language
This dissertation on the influence of the Mandalorian culture on its language of Mando'a was published by the Galactic Institute of Anthropology, during the era of the New Republic. (SWI86)

Mandalorian-Sith Alliance
This was the alliance that was forged between the Sith Empire and the military forces that rallied to serve the New Mandalore, during the height of the Great Galactic War. Although the Mandalorians fought for the glory of the New Mandalore, few beings knew that the New Mandalore's rise to power had secretly been orchestrated by the Sith Emperor. With the Mandalorians fighting on his side, the Sith Emperor was able to blockade the Hydian Way and choke off Republic forces fighting on the front lines, until a group of smugglers managed to launch a surprise attack and drive off the Mandalorians. (SWORW)

Mandan
This was the name used to describe the human inhabitants of the Mand System. (DCAR, OWS)

Mandarin
One of the former names of the Koqus Starliner Star Morning. (SOL)

Manda-Roon Merchant Route
This hyperspace trade route was established between Manda and Roon by the Baobab Merchant Fleet. It was considered a much more reliable route than the so-called Death Wind Corridor, primarily because of the various lightstations that were installed to mark its path/ (WOTC, GORW)

Mandator II-class Star Dreadnaught
This follow-on to the original Mandator-class Star Dreadnaught was produced by Kuat Drive Yards during the height of the Clone Wars. These massive, heavily-armed ships were deployed primarily to defend the Kuat System, but also saw action as part of the Old Republic's defense fleets. (X3)

Mandator-class Star Dreadnaught
The Mandator-class dreadnaught was developed and manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards, specifically for the purpose of defending the Kuat Sector from invasion during the last decades of the Old Republic. (X2, X3)

Manda'yaim
This Mandalorian word literally meant "home of the Mandalorians," and referred to the planet Mandalore. Many Mandalorians used this name when talking about their homeworld, leaving offworlders to use the name Mandalore. (LF5)

Mandel, Emlyn
Kvarn Mandel's wife. (GG9)

Mandel, Kvarn
This aristocratic man was the chief executive of Fabritech, and was no stranger to power. As self-assured and powerful as he appears, Kvarn was haunted by the disappearance of his daughter, Samire. She suddenly disappeared about eleven years before the Battle of Yavin, and hasn't been seen since. Kvarn believes that she was dead, but had a secret nagging thought that she left her family to join the Alliance. This thought surfaces whenever Kvarn reflects on his success, which had come from selling military equipment to the Empire. His son, Simmin, continues to search for her, but Kvarn does not support his efforts. Kvarn and his family live in a huge mansion on Thorgeld I. (GG9)

Mandel, Samire
Kvarn Mandel's daughter, she disappeared from her family about eleven years before the Battle of Yavin. Her whereabouts were not known. (GG9)

Mandel, Simmin
Kvarn Mandel's son, he maintains the belief that his sister, Samire, was still alive. He had scoured the Outer Rim for her, and had even hired the Skine Bounty Hunter College to locate her. He was 18 when she disappeared. (GG9)

Mandelatara, Radathus
This man was living on the planet Naboo, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Mandell
This planet was colonized by the Bothan race, many decades before the Galactic Civil War. A severe drought killed virtually all crops and agricultural resources on the planet, about ten years before the Clone Wars, forcing the Bothans to import grains and foodstuffs from Bothawui. It was believed that these supply shipments contained a small colony of radarks, since there were no known radark populations on Mandell prior to the droughts. (UA)

Mandellian Corporation
This corporation owned the rights and operations of the BlastBoat 2000 speeder race, held regularly on the moon Echnos. (SWJ4)

Manderon Period
This era of the Old Republic occurred between 7,000 and 5,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. It was during this time that many hyperroutes, including the Rimma Trade Route, were discovered. (SWJ4, NECH)

Mandi
This was the Snivvian word for "tomorrow." (HNN5)

Mandian
This picket frigate was part of the fleet assembled by the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. The Mandian was among the ships dispatched to Praesitlyn some two and a half years after the Battle of Geonosis, as part of the mission to retake the Intergalactic Communications Center from the Separatists. The Mandian and several other picket ships were dispersed on the outer edges of Praesitlyn's system, as part of a network of ships that could warn the main force about Separatist reinforcements. It was the Mandian's crew that first discovered a reinforcement fleet arriving from Sluis Van, and although the crew was ready for a fight, their orders were to "see and flee." (JT)

Mandie
This was the somewhat derogatory nickname used by the troops of the Old Republic to describe a Mandalorian shock trooper, during the era of the Mandalorian Wars, nearly 4,000 years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. (KOR2)

Manding
This was a slang term used by the children of Esseles to indicate a high level of incredibility, as in, "He's so manding cute!" (SWJ6)

Mandirly, Tayvor
This tall, thin, Alderaanian man was the youngest brother of Bail Organa's mother. He was a noted expert on agriculture during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, and was called upon to help investigate the growth and production of colfillini on Antar 4, some fifteen years before the Clone Wars. Unfortunately, Mandirly was caught the cross-fire of the civil war that sprang up among the colfillini plantations, and he was brutally murdered by Raxis and Nolid. His fingers were broken one-by-one, and his eyes were gouged out in order to prevent him from seeing what else was done to his body. His tongue was cut out, so that he could not cry for help. He was brutally beaten and then set on fire while he was still alive. Obi-Wan Kenobi found Mandirly's body among the deceased, and the memory of the brutality with which he was killed remained with Kenobi for years to come. During a mission to Zigoola about a year after the Battle of Geonosis, Kenobi discovered the relationship between Mandirly and Organa, when the power of the Sith fortress on Zigoola forced Kenobi to relive the experience in an attempt to break his spirit and his will. (CWWS)

Mandjur
This New Republic warship was part of the Ballarat's support line during the Battle of N'zoth. When the Ballarat was destroyed, the Mandjur filled in the gap. It was struck twice in the aft sections by Yevethan missiles, and was rendered powerless and adrift. Plat Mallar, assigned to the ship as a shuttle pilot, singled-handedly rescued three pilots in the ensuing chaos. (TT)

Mando
This was the Mando'a term the referred to an individual member of the Mandalorian society, although it could also be used to describe the Mandalorian culture as a whole. The meaning was based on the society of the ancient Mandalorian warriors, but evolved over time to mirror the changes that occurred on Mandalore. (SWI84, OWS)

Mand'oa
This was an alternate spelling of the Mandalorian word Mando'a. (LF8)

Mando'a
This was the Mandalorian word for their native language, known in Basic as simply Mandalorian. The Mando'a language was strange to most humanoid races, since it focused on the present tense and lacked any form of gender, although it was considered grammatically simple by many linguists. Because the Mandalorians lived for the day, rather than dwelling on the past or future, their verbs lacked any complicated set of tenses. To die-hard Mandalorians, the use of the future tense indicated a fear of death, which was considered contrary to the manda philosophy. Thus, prefixes to indicate the tense of a verb were only added after the Mandalorians began interacting with other races, who were unable to comprehend a language that was based solely on the present tense. Modern linguists discovered that the Mandalorian language contained a large number of insults, although these insults were based on a being's cowardice, stupidity, or hygiene, rather than appearance.

At its core, Mando'a was a spoken language, because many different groups spoke it with enough subtle variation that writing it down became problematic. Many xenolexicologists have pointed out similarities between the Mandalorian language and the writings of the Dha Werda Verda, suggesting that the ancient Mandalorians descended from the Taungs. The Mando'a language was believed to have died out with the death of Jango Fett, at the Battle of Geonosis. However, many of the Cuy'val Dar used it in talking to the clone troopers they trained, and the language was adopted by the soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic as a second language. To most non-Mandalorians, the Mando'a sounded harsh and guttural. (SWI84, OWS, WOTC, SWI86, RCTZ, LSSM, RC66)

Mando'ad
This was the Mando'a name for a single member of Mandalorian culture. Like all Mandalorian words, mando'ad lacked a specific gender, and had to be taken in context. (OWS)

Mando'ad draar digu
This Mando'a phrase meant "A Mandalorian never forgets." (OWS)

Mando'ade
This was the Mandalorian word that described their entire culture, although it was most often associated with the soldiers and shocktroopers of Mandalore. Essentially just the plural form of Mando'ad this word literally translated into Basic as "sons and daughters of Mandalore." (OWS, SWI86)

Mandokarla
This Mandalorian term referred to any being who was not officially a member of the Mandalorian society, but had the right stuff - the heart of a Mandalorian - to eventually earn a place among them. (RCTC)

Mando-man
This was another term used to describe a Mandalorian soldier, during the era of the Mandalorian Wars. (KOR11)

Mando-rak
This was the term used to describe those Mandalorians who were turned into rakghouls by the touch of Pulsipher and the Muur Talisman, during the final stages of the Mandalorian Wars. Pulsipher discovered the talisman on Taris, and the talisman wrapped itself around Pulsipher's wrist. The first man he touched was turned almost instantly into a rakghoul that was incredibly smart and vicious. These new creatures were quite intelligent, and could use weaponry and act in small groups. They were also quite strong, and could bite through the armor of most Mandalorians. The bite of this new form of rakghoul turned the next man almost instantly into a new rakghoul, and this new form of Rakghoul Plague swept quickly through the Waypoint on Jebble. Celeste Morne and Zayne Carrick tried to prevent the further spread of this new form of rakghoul, after it was learned that the massed Mandalorian hordes on Jebble were planning to launch an attack on Alderaan. They feared that the Rakghoul Plague would be carried to Alderaan, and would then spread until it consumed the galaxy. (KORV)

Mandos' Big Book of Friendly Warships
This was the sarcastic name of a book referred to by Goran Beviin, when he first encountered a Yuuzhan Vong warship and could not immediately determine what it was. (PM)

Mando-Verpine Assault Fighter
This was the name used to describe the series of Bes'uliik-class Assault Fighters that were produced during a joint effort between MandalMotors and Roche Industries, during the height of the Corellia-GA War. The new starship took advantage of Verpine ultramesh technology to produce a lightweight airframe that was made entirely from beskar, making the ship incredibly durable and maneuverable, even in atmopshere. (LF5)

Mandoviol
This was a type of stringed musical instrument that was popular with cantina bands across the galaxy, during the era of the Galactic Civil War. With seventeen minor keys, four major keys, and a slide attachment, the mandoviol was a difficult instrument to master, but could be used to play ballads as well as energetic jizz tunes with equal aplomb. (TPS, SWGAL)

Mandovoil
see Mandoviol (SWG2P)

Mandrake, Bulgryph
This was one of the many aliases adopted by Marn Hierogryph, during the final stages of the Mandalorian Wars. Bulgryph Mandrake was a safety inspector who arrived at Jervo's World, in orbit around the planet Pantolomin, to make sure that the swoopdueling events that were staged on the station were as legitimate as the Krish claimed them be. Marn hoped to use the alias to gain access to The Franchise's inner workings, in an attempt to swindle some credits from them by threatening to expose illegal activities, such as tampering with the video feeds to delay broadcasts long enough to edit specific outcomes. (KOR13)

Mandrake, Lisa
This woman held the rank of Sergeant in the Alliance military, and served as the chief of security at the Alliance's Gelgelar Free Port drop point during the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ14)

Mandrell, Ody
This reptilian Er'Kit was born on the planet Tatooine, and was later considered one of the Outer Rim's best podracer pilots. During the Boonta Eve Classic race in which Anakin Skywalker emerged victorious, Ody Mandrell's XL 5115 podracer was disabled in a crash and had to come in for repairs. Pit droid DUM-4 was sucked into the port-side engine when it suddenly flared up, and the damage caused by the foreign body ruined the engine. He eventually got the damage repaired and returned to the race, but was knocked off the course by Sebulba and driven into Anakin's pod. The two racers became entangled, and when they finally freed themselves, Ody's ship flew out of control and crashed. Ody managed to survived the crash, but retired from active podracing for good. He remained on Tatooine as a mechanic, and eventually went to work for Ulda Banai at the Mos Espa Swoop Arena. (E1, IG1, TG)

Mandrep, Illist
This mentally-deranged Arcona was strongly addicted to salt, which resulted in severe delusions of being persecuted. He became a bounty hunter, sliding through the Imperial bureaucracy despite his mental state, and becoming something of a walking arsenal. A paranoid maniac, Illist was known for taking out large numbers of civilians in an effort to acquire his target. (GG10)

Mandroxan Cartel
This Mid Rim criminal organization established a foothold on the planet Bridin Anchorage, shortly after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. It was formed from an alliance of criminal organizations, led by the Manliss Enterprise, the Droxian Traders League and the Anavill Smuggler's Guild. The cartel was nominally led by the Manliss group, under the control of Artur Manliss. They were quite successful, considering that much of their business - illegal spice production and transport - was conducted in broad daylight. The cartel eventually controlled the spice trade in 23 separate systems in Portmoak Sector, shortly after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. (GG11)

Mandroxan Exports
A subsidiary of the Mandroxan criminal cartel, this export company fronted the Mandroxan weapons manufacturing business. (GG11)

Manech, Treyz
This man served the Empire as a Lieutenant in the armed forces, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. He was ostensibly demoted to a position on the planet Troska, serving under Commander Buzk, about nine months after the Battle of Yavin. He had been trying to take control of an Imperial Star Destroyer, in an effort to chase down a possible Alliance convoy, when he was forced to stand down and accept a new assignment on Troska. He bristled at this series of events, claiming that he had been denied a promotion, while Buzk continued to embezzle credits from the Empire. In order to solve the situation, Manech developed a plan that was eventually supported by the Imperial leaders in the sector. He revealed to his friend, Kelmont, that he had hired Boba Fett to force the Kybers to accede to the Empire's demands. Kelmont demanded that he tell Buzk what he had done, forcing Buzk to make contact with King Natas Kyber in order to rectify the situation. As part of Manech's plan, Fett appeared to shoot and kill King Natas, forcing Buzk into an uncomfortable position. Buzk then revealed his true self, and his actions were recorded and relayed to Manech's commanders. In the wake of the events on Troska, Buzk was taken away for interrogation, and Manech was promoted to fill his position as Commander of the Troska garrison. Because Kelmont had stood by his side throughout the events, Manech offered him the chance to serve as his executive adjunct. (BFOK)

Manellan Jasper
This was one of the finest varieties of tea leaves that were produced in the galaxy, during the early years of the New Order. (DSTR)

Manes, Tomathy
This man was the senior duty officer of the New Republic Defense Fleet base on Utharis. A communications specialist, Manes helped Luke Skywalker obtain a current tactical memorandum on the situation in the Koornacht Cluster, during the Black Fleet Crisis. (TT)

Maneuver 717
This was the Imperial codename for a mission in which an officer wanted to get rid of a possible spy or enemy agent was posing as a pilot onboard a warship. The spy would be allowed to continue their normal flight schedule, and would be sent out on several starfighter mission with other officers. During one of these missions, the commander could issue the command to fly Maneuver 717. Under this order, the loyal pilots would lead the spy away from the ship on what appeared to be a routine mission. The spy would be allowed to lead the mission, so that his fighter would be in front of the others. Then, once the ships were in a position such that the spy couldn't see them, they fired on and destroyed his ship. In this way, the spy was killed in a remote area, and the returning pilots were able to claim the spy was shot down by enemy fire. (T21)

Manex
This man was one of the wealthiest members of the Civilized faction of the planet New Apsolon, during the decade leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Manex was the brother of the planetary leader, Roan, and had a number of other political contacts, all of which he used to help amass his fortune. A tall, plump man, Manex used his wealth to indulge himself with the things he liked the most. When he was questioned by Qui-Gon Jinn in regards to the death of Ewane, Manex claimed that he had no interest in politics, only business. Because of this, many people on New Apsolon believed Manex arranged for Ewane's death, in order to put Roan into a position of planetary rule. After the Jedi discovered Balog's secret Absolute base and rescued Tahl, Manex offered his residence and his facilities to them, in an effort to save Tahl's life. Unfortunately, Tahl died shortly after they arrived. Obi-Wan Kenobi doubted the sincerity of Manex's hospitality, despite the signs to the contrary. When the population began to propose his candidacy for planetary leader, Manex first refused, claiming that he was a businessman and not a politician. However, he decided to accept their candidacy, if only to help heal the wounds caused by Balog. He also started spreading a rumor that he held the list of Absolute supporters, a list which had already caused the deaths of Oleg and Pleni. He also revealed to the Jedi that he believed both Eritha and Alani were supporters of the Absolutes, and that Eritha's support of the Worker class was a sham. Alani herself confessed that Eritha had been working to ensure the Jedi were discredited. (TTB, DOH, CTV)

Manforgon
This planet was under Imperial control during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWRPG)

Mang, Kanjil
This Ishi Tib was a doctor and anthropologist who studied at the University of Tibrin. Mang did extensive research on the Ugnaught society on Bespin's Cloud City. (GG2)

Mang, Kenjil
This was a noted Ishi Tib individual in the history of the planet Tibrin. (UANT)

Mangana Aqua Jewel
This brilliant, yellow-hinted gemstone was found at the bottom of several of Naboo's major waterways. Gungan leaders were often distinguished by an egg-shaped mangana aqua jewel in their headpieces. (CVD)

Mangez IV
This shuttle was owned and operated by Lant Mining Corporation, and was used to transport miners to the Lormar 23 refinery station. (FBS)

Mangez System
This planetary system was located in Brak Sector. (FBS)

Mangler
This was the name given to a particularly loathsome subspecies of gurk that was native to the planet Lok. (SWG2P)

Manglers
This vicious gang controlled much of Coruscant's Southern Underground, during the final years of the Old Republic and the early years of the New Order. It was rumored that the Red Guards who served Emperor Palpatine would think twice about engaging a Mangler in one-on-one combat. (CN1)

Mangol
This grizzled, old, treasure hunter died on Nespis VIII shortly after the Battle of Yavin. He supposedly located an ancient tome from the abandoned Jedi library, rumored to be located on the space station. His contemporary treasure hunters believe he was killed by the curse which surrounds the library, but in reality he was a victim of Borborygmus Gog's Essence Stealer. Mangol was later re-animated by Tash Arranda, when she reversed the Essence Stealer's actions. (GOF5)

Mangonel
This Dimok cargo hauler was operative during the later stages of the Sepan Civil War. The Mangonel was destroyed when the Empire first tried to put a stop to the war, ostensibly siding with the Ripoblus. (TIE, TIEP)

MangoRez
This was a type of magnetic-resonance scanning system that was developed for medical use during the final decades of the Old Republic. It was developed to be as small as possible, making it a common site in the Republic Mobile Surgical Units of the Grand Army of the Republic. (SWI83, OWS)

Mangoriza
This was one of many Imperial-developed chemicals used for the interrogation and subduction of prisoners. (SWJ10)

Manhunter
This was another term used to describe a bounty hunter. (TGD)

Maniac
This Krish worked for Bolabo Hujaan on Byblos as a starship mechanic. He specialized in the repair and tuning of drive systems, and earned the nickname "Maniac" because of his wild-looking eyes and crazy giggling. He owned the astromech droid known as Patchwork, and their work on starships was legendary among spacers. Much of his legend was based on successful work, but Maniac was also known as the mechanic who eliminated the Yagaran Four. He had been working for the Yagaran Four as a mechanic, and modified their YT-1300 freighter to help increase its power and speed. The improvements resulted in disaster, as the hyperdrive exploded upon activation, killing the Yagaran Four. The resulting explosion spread a cloud of radioactive dust over the fifth moon of Elin Roe. As a hobby, Maniac spent his time tinkering with droids, and had successfully tested many of his modifications on Patchwork. (CRO)

Maniac

Manicure Gloves
These automatic gloves fit around the hands of a female being, and gently cleansed and conditioned the skin on the hands and fingers. (DN2)

Maniid
This smuggler made regular shipments to Bracha e'Naso in Esau's Ridge, on Tholatin, during the early years of the New Republic. (TT)

Manikon
Although not native to Coruscant, this race of beings found a home in the subsurface caverns of the cityscape on the planet. It was believed that the Manikons were part of a race which tore itself apart in a devastating civil war, and that the survivors managed to flee to Coruscant. The Manikons were scavengers, and spent much of their time hunting for food and trinkets in the underworld of Coruscant. Over the generations, Manikons evolved to move about on all-fours, but could stand upright when attacking their targets. Their feet were wide and heavy, and were used to pummel or trample their prey. When cornered, or when confronted with a larger target, Manikons could spit a stining venom into their prey's eyes, temporarily blinding the prey while the Manikon attacked. (JQ1)

Ma'Ning, Justyn
This balding, middle-aged man was one of the handful of Jedi Masters who were chosen to lead the Outbound Flight project, some five years after the Battle of Naboo. Although he outwardly supported the orders of Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth, Ma'Ning questioned the need for the Jedi to play an increasingly larger role in the day-to-day operations of Outbound Flight. Ma'Ning was even more concerned when C'baoth began separating families based on their Force sensitivity, although he understood the need to continue training the Jedi to assist with protecting the Outbound Flight project. He voiced his concerns to C'baoth's former Padawan, Lorana Jinzler, who agreed to try and talk to him about the situation. Ma'Ning eventually confronted C'baoth about the changes aboard Outbound Flight, and accused C'baoth of crossing the line from guide to ruler. Incredulous, C'baoth asked if Ma'Ning planned to convene a Judgment Circle, to which Ma'Nin replied that the circle had already been called for. However, they never got a chance to resolve the matter, as Outbound Flight was intercepted by a Chiss task force led by then Force Commander Thrawn. The Jedi were commanded by C'baoth to take up battle stations against the Chiss ships, but they were no match for Thrawn's precision. In the initial wave of attacks, Master Ma'Ning was caught in a blast and buried beneath a hail of shrapnel. Understanding that he had just moments to live, Ma'Ning drew Lorana Jinzler close and explained that a more devastating attack was coming, now that C'baoth hd given himself over to the Dark Side of the Force. He implored her to get as many people as she could to the central storage core, in an effort to save their lives. As he explained that all Jedi had taken an oath to serve others, Master Ma'Ning finally succumbed to his injuries and died. (OF)

Manka, Siolo Ur
This Twi'lek Jedi Master left Corusant for the Jentares System more than seventy years before the Battle of Naboo, in an effort to separate himself from the rest of the galaxy and meditate on the Force. During the time he spent at the Jedi Temple, he was considered among the best Jedi warriors of the time. However, just before leaving for Jentares, Siolo Ur Manka renounced his lightsaber and set out to contemplate a purer technique. Darth Sidious ordered his apprentice, Darth Maul, to assassinate Siolo Ur Manka, but the Twi'lek managed to disarm Darth Maul with little more than a wooden stick. It was rumored that this defeat caused Maul to develop his two-bladed lightsaber, since the single-bladed weapon he had used against Siolo Ur Manka had been ineffective. Rather than creating a single weapon, though, Maul welded two lightsabers together at the base, creating a weapon with the element of surprise. Maul returned to the Jentares System shortly afterward, to complete his mission. When Siolo Ur Manka again bested Maul in combat, the Sith apprentice activated the second blade and killed the Twi'lek. Darth Sidious was impressed with Maul's skills and his creation of the two-bladed lightsaber. (T10)

Manka Cat
This feline creature was discovered by the Tetsus tribe of Rodians, which had fled Rodia following Navik the Red's rise to power. The manka cat lived on the jungle world the Rodians adopted. It was the only creature on the planet capable of killing a Rodian, which it often did during its mating season. (TME, DBPD)

Manka Hunter, The
The name Greedo planned to use for his Incom corsair, which he purchased from Shug Ninx. (TME)

Manka Squad
This was one of the many clone commando squads that made up the Grand Army of the Republic, during the era of the Clone Wars. (RC66)

Manks, Gris
This man served in the Freedom's Sons and Daughters militia during the height of the Clone Wars, holding the rank of Colonel and acting as one of Zozridor Slayke's artillery commanders. He was easily distinguished by his size, as Manks was a huge man. During the battle to retake the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn from the Separatists, Colonel Manks believed that he was up to the challenge of coordinating the combined forces of Freedom's Sons and Daughters and the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic. However, his military protocol droid was unsure that the proper materiel was available for deployment. The droid suggested more large mortars, which could have been used to pound the enemy's entrenched forces without damaging the center itself. Manks deemed the droid "negatively uncooperative" and banished it from the Fire Direction Center. In addition, the Separatist forces managed to compromise the Republic's communications network, and sent false instructions to the FDC using simulations of Nejaa Halcyon's voice. They were forced to call of their attack, and only a daring rescue mission led by Anakin Skywalker managed to save the center. (JT)

Mankuskett
This man was a Professor at the University of Sanbra, and a contemporary of Professor Tem Eliss. He was also the Chair of the Council on Metagrowth and Polymorphism, and was good friends with an unidentified Clawdite. Professor Mankuskett made several expeditions to the Forest Moon of Endor, where he spent a great deal of time among the various forms of sentient life that called the moon their home. He was surprised that the Empire did so little scounting of the moon, given that it established a base there during the height of the New Order. (GMR10, OWS)

Mankvim-814 Interceptor
This small, two-person fighter craft was developed by the Techno Union and manufactured by Feethan Ottraw Scalable Assemblies during the height of the Clone Wars, to address the need for planetary security on those planets that were subjugated by the Separatists. Two weapon mounts were located on the nose of the craft, and could be equipped with law enforcement blasters or medium laser cannons, depending on the environment. The 10.7-meter-long Mankvim-814 required just a single pilot to operate, and was limited to in-system engagements due to its lack of a hyperdrive. Unlike previous droid starfighters that employed dedicated droid brains, the Mankvim-814 Interceptor was produced to accommodate a B1-series battle droid as its pilot. Because it had an actual cockpit with flight and weapons controls, the Mankvim-814 could also accommodate an organic pilot.

The Techno Union produced these bird-shaped ships on Utapau after subjugating the planet's Grand Halls, forcing the natives to mass-produce these craft in short order. Though they were fast, Mankvim-814 fighters were not exceptionally durable or maneuverable, and pilots were often forced to run from a dogfight with a more powerful fighter. In the wake of the Clone Wars, many Mankvim-814 fighters ended up in the Corporate Sector, after renegade members of the Techno Union fled into the sector to avoid Imperial persecution. (VD3, X3, SWDB, SSOG)

Manky
This adjective appeared in the slang jargon of the galaxy's bounty hunters, during the years following the Sith-Imperial War. It was used to describe something that was of poor quality or of a lower stature, and was usually used with a heavy amount of derision. (SWLL)

Man-lift
This heavy-duty, repulsor-driven elevator was used to move miners to and from their digs. (JH)

Manliss, Artur
This man was the leader of the Manliss Enterprise, and became the nominal leader of the Mandroxan cartel. He inherited the Enterprise from his father, Dunstain, who was believed to have been assassinated by members of the Droxian Traders League. Others believed that it was Artur, in dealing with Sehvorah and the Droxians, who agreed to pay of Sehvorah's gambling debt in return for the removal of Dunstain. It was Artur Manliss who convinced the League, as well as the Anavill Smuggler's Guild, to begin mining and producing spice on Bridin Anchorage. (GG11)

Manliss, Dunstain
This man was the leader of the Manliss Enterprise during the New Order, until he was assassinated and succeeded by his son, Artur. It was rumored that the Droxian Traders League was behind the assassination, and further evidence points to Artur himself paying off Sehvorah's gambling debts in return for Dunstain's death. (GG11)

Manliss Enterprise
This Mid Rim criminal organization established a foothold on the planet Bridin Anchorage, shortly after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. It became part of an overall alliance known as the Mandroxan cartel, along with the Droxian Traders League and the Anavill Smuggler's Guild. (GG11)

Manlorey
This was the Mandalorian word for a member of their society. (KOTOR)

Manna maana mo wuhah?
This Ewok question was often heard during a meal. It translated into Basic as "May I have more?" (GPB)

Manna manna
When translated into Basic, this Ewok word meant "food." (GPB)

Mannd, Grady
This man was the Defense Minister of the planet Stend VI, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. (SWJ10)

Manoca
This Dug and his friend, Rednax, often met for lunch at Dex's Diner, during the years surrounding the Battle of Geonosis. (SWI63)

Manollium
A yellow-feathered bird native to the planet Ithor, it was brought to Belsavis by the Brathflen Corporation. Note that Traitor refers to this bird as the manullian. (COJ, T)

Manollium-class Herdship
This Brathflen Corporation starship was designed to meet the specifications of the Ithorians, who wished to travel the galaxy in a starhsip which mirrored the environment of Ithor as much as possible. The 980-meter-long Manollium-class ship had all the amenities of a cruise ship, but remained loyal to the Ithorian desire to revere life. To this end, the weaponry of the Manollium-class was designed to incapacitate, but not destroy, an attacking ship. Thus, the ship was equipped with ten ion cannons and a pair of tractor beams, but no lasers or blasters. It was crewed by 800 officers and twenty-four gunners, and could accommodate up to 1,050 passengers and 500,000 metric tons of cargo. (SWJ15)

Manos
This Devaronian male served on the Imperial Interim Ruling Council. He was the leader of one of the galaxy's largest labor unions, and he supported Feena D'Asta and her plan to make peace with the New Republic. When she later asked for a vote of no-confidence in the ability of Xandel Carivus to lead the Council, Manos was the only other vote against him. (CE2, HCE)

Manosk, Stevv
Han Solo was given this alias by Jabba and Jiliac, for use ininfiltrating the Imperial Destiny and bribing Admiral Greelanx. Manosk was a Lieutenant in the Imperial Navy. (THG)

Manpha
This Outer Rim planet was the homeworld of the Shawda Ubb race. (CCG9, NEGA)

Manpha-fowl
This flightless, avian creature was native to the planet Manpha. Because it was flightless, its wings were little more than vestigial limbs, but this meant that the breast meat of a Manpha-fowl was tender and succulent when roasted or fried. This made Manpha-fowl a popular type of meat in restaurants throughout the galaxy. (OWS)

Manr, Rostat
This Sullustan male served the Alliance during the last years of the Empire, flying Y-Wings into battle. He also served the New Republic, but a year after the Battle of Endor, he resigned his commission and went to work in the private sector. He had tired of war, and believed that he had acheived his goals. He took a position as a pilot with Event Vistas, and within a year was promoted to chief pilot aboard the Nebula Queen. However, on a short leave, he was kidnapped and brainwashed by agents of the Imperial warlord Zsinj as part of Project Minefield. A trigger phrase was implanted in his head which, when activated by a phrase dealing with the existence of Ewoks in his nose, would cause him to crash the Nebula Queen into a planet. The code phrase contained the planet Coruscant, and Rostat would have succeeded in crashing into the planet if not for two things. The first was intervention of his counterpart, Nurm, who stunned Rostat and rendered him unconscious. The second was that Wraith Squadron had already determined Zsinj's actions, and had warned the Republic of the potential for a Sullustan to be brainwashed in the manner Tal'dira and Nuro Tualin were. Rostat was arrested and detained by New Republic Intelligence. (SOC)

Manress
This was the homeworld of the Stokhli race. (EGW)

Manshara
This was a common name among the Cathar race. (UANT)

Mansk-class Escort
This starship design was armed with six dual laser turrets and an ion cannon. (TSIA)

Mansom Corporation
This construction corporation's headquarters were located on the planet Corulag. Mansom specialized in the design and construction of Imperial-class spaceports. (SWJ7)

Manta
This was a species of winged creature. (DN3)

Manta Droid Subcarrier
This was a larger version of the manta droid subfighter, designed to carry troops and supplies into battle. (SWI81)

Manta Droid Subfighter
This droid warship was developed for use on oceanic planets by the Techno Union, to augment the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. The manta was originally created by the Xi Char Cathedral Factories, at the request of the Trade Federation. They were developed after the Federation took heavy losses on Naboo and other aquatic worlds. Later, these ships were supplied to the Quarren Isolation League during their struggle to take control of the planet Calamari from the Mon Calamari Knights. Because the Xi Char were ordered to develop the manta droid subfigther in isolation from the rest of the Haor Chall religious order, the manta suffered from a number of design inadequacies. They were not adaptable to different shapes like droid starfighters, although they resembled those ships in appearance. The forward mounted missile launchers were located on the nose of the craft, which was shaped like a wide diving plane, while the fuselage hung behind the main wing. The trailing edges of the diving plane were fitted with supercavitation vectrals that created a bubble of air around the wings at high speeds, reducing friction and allowing the Manta to move even fastre through the water. Each of these droid vessels measured five meters in length, and moved about through a combination of electromotive field generators and repulsorlift drives. Although several of these droid subfighters were destroyed during the Clone Wars, a few managed to band together to create a strange community in the oceans of Calamari. The school of droid subfighters lived off the energy produced by Quarren mining operations, and in exchange kept predators away from the Quarren miners. (SWDB, CWC1, NEGD)

Manta Pear
This unusual fruit could be eaten raw or pressed for its juice, which had a sweet taste. (OWS)

Manta RamAir
This small corporation produced several models of competition podracers, including the Mark IV Flat Flat-Twin Turbojet, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Note that this name contradicts the name given in the Insider's Guide to Star Wars Episode I, which was Mantis RamAir. (SWDB)

Mantabog
This immence, blanket-shaped creature was once native to the planet Malastare. It used its shape to glide through the air, and dropped onto its prey with surprising swiftness. Once it captured its prey, the mantabog wrapped its body around the prey and squeezed, constricting ever tighter until the prey could no longer draw a breath, and suffocated. By the time of the New Republic, the mantabog was extinct, and could only be seen in an exhibit at the Holographic Zoo of Extinct Animals on Coruscant. (CCW)

Manta-class Starfighter
This starfighter design was developed and produced by theTapani Starship Cooperative, and built at the Tallaan Shipyards during the height of the New Order. Among the unique design features of the Manta-class was a magnetic docking clamp which eliminated the need for the addition of a mechanical landing claw. This allowed the starfighter to simply ride along on the back of a Tapani-class carrier. The Manta-class measured twelve meters in length, and required a pilot and gunner to operate. These craft were armed with a pair of fire-linked ion cannons, a pair of medium laser cannons, and a pair of heavy laser cannons. Like many Imperial designs, the Manta-class lacked a hyperdrive, therefore requiring a planetary base or a carrier to move it into position. Its flat, organic shape was reminiscent of the creature for which it was named. (TSIA, LOE)

Mantan
This planet was colonized by the Mon Calamari, many years before the Old Republic recognized the Mon Cals and the Quarren and member races. (GORW)

Mantan Wanderer
This Mon Calamari cruiser was the flagship of the Alliance's 14th Roving Line, and was under the command of Captain Qarl. (ROE)

Mantaris-class Transport
This amphibious transport ship resembles the huge, ray-like creatures native to the coasts of the planet Naboo. Their wings were swept backwards and they have two saber-like tails. Phosphorescent nodules at the tips of their wings give off a reddish glow when activated. The Mantaris-class was designed and manufactured by the combined efforts of the Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps and the Otoh Gunga Bongowerks in the era following the Battle of Naboo. It was developed as part of a joint effort to colonize Ohma-D'un, the primary moon of Naboo. This transport had similar characteristics to the bongo submarine, but with the capability of interstellar flight. Measuring ninety-eight meters in length, including its heat-sink finials, the Mantaris-class required a crew of five beings to operate. It could transport up to twenty passengers or a variety of creatures, as well as 250 metric tons of cargo. Additionally, cargo modules could be attached to the transport to increase its accommodations. In the wake of the Battle of Naboo, the Mantaris transport was armed with a concussion missile launcher. (GF, WOTC)

Mantarran
Hal Horn had once tracked Moranda Savich to this world, but was unable to capture her before she was able to flee. (TFNR)

Mantessa
This planet was the homeworld of the panthac species. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the planet was beseiged by a group of firebreathers, until a platoon of Clone Wars-vintage B2 Super Battle Droids banded together to confront the alien invaders. Known as the Orange Panthacs, the battle droids successfully defeated the Yuuzhan Vong and their fire-breathing creatures, preserving Mantessa's freedom. (TLC, NEGD)

Manticore
This was the name of a legendary creature that distinguished by its humanoid head and a cat-like body. The manticore also had a segmented tail that was tipped with a thorn-like stinger. Although many considered the manticore the stuff of legend, the Holographic Zoo of Extinct Animals dedicated an entire display to them, during the early years of the New Republic. (DA)

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

Manticore
This warship was one of the four Star Destroyers stationed at the Maw Installation by Grand Moff Tarkin, during the height of the New Order. The Manticore was commanded by Captain Brusc, and was part of the fleet that was commanded by Admiral Daala, serving to protect the Maw Installation and the superweaons produced by the scientists who worked there. Seven years after the defeat of the Empire at the Battle of Endor, the Manticore was pressed into active duty when Admiral Daala decided to strike back against the New Republic. Using tactics devised by Tarkin himself, Daala kept the Manticore hidden behind Calamari's moon, where it waited for the Mon Calamari to abandon their orbital shipyards in order to defend the cities on the planet's surface. The Manticore never completed its mission, however, as it was destroyed Admiral Ackbar recognized Daala's tactics as those of Tarkin. He then used the half-constructed star cruiser Startide to ram the ship, and both vessels were destroyed in the resulting explosion. All hands aboard the Manticore were lost in the conflagration. (JS, DA)

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

Mantid, Di
This woman was a frequent patron of the Outlander Club, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. She usually wore heavy facial make-up, including blue lipstick and silver rouge. (OWS, CHRN2)

Mantigrue
This was a species of large, dragon-like lizard that was native to the planet Endor. It lived in the moon's mountain caves, emerging to soar the aerials and hunt its prey. It had large, leathery wings, sharp claws, and a long, pointed beak. It walked on its hind legs, as its forearms were small and designed to hold prey. Although primarily predatory in nature, the mantigrue - sometimes referred to as the condor dragon - was not above scavenging for food on occasion. Despite their size, these reptavians could not carry large prey, and had to hunt for small creatures. Wicket and Cindel encounter a mantigrue while they were trying to escape the Marauder attack on the Towani camp. It tries to carry Cindel, but she was too heavy and it drops her. Wicket rescues her in his makeshift hang glider. Teebo also encountered a mantigrue one time, when he was young and trying to help find the Ewok children stolen by Vulgarr and the Duloks. The mantigrue destroyed Teebo's glider. (ECAR, BFE, AT, WSW, SWDB)

Mantilorrian
An alien race which inhabited Space Station Kwenn. (EGC)

Mantine Casino
The less expensive of the two casinos located on the Kuari Princess. It offers a multitude of gambling games and electronic entertainments. (RM)

Mantis, Marina
This noble woman was the leader of the Mantis Bounty Hunter Syndicate during the Galactic Civil War. She was known as an amoral and mercenary woman who hired out her hunters to anyone who could afford them. She allied herself with High Lord Jaris Affirc of Santarine, placing the syndicate on retainer and carrying out several assassination missions for him. However, when Affric's debt to Mantis remained unpaid, she pulled the syndicate out of the agreement and struck out on her own. This forced Mantis to hire out her bounty hunters to a wider group of contacts, often at significantly lower prices, in order to maintain the group's operational status. It was believed that she even hired out her hunters to the military of the New Republic, during the era of the Empire-Republic War. (GG10, SWJ15, OWS)

Mantis Bounty Hunter Syndicate
This large bounty hunting syndicate was ostensibly based on Santarine during the height of the New Order. The syndicate was formed and managed by Lady Marina Mantis, and were based on Santarine after Mantis placed the group on retainer to High Lord Jaris Affric. Although the Mantis syndicate was one of the ten primary houses of the Bounty Hunters' Guild, its size bordered on being a full-scale mercenary company, and it was very rich and powerful. In most respects, the Mantis syndicate was nothing more than a private army made up on specialists in one form of bounty hunting or another. The Mantis Bounty Hunter Syndicate was held on retainer by High Lord Jaris Affric, who used his position and the strength of the syndicate to further his own goals. He even tried to eliminate the Churhee's Riflemen by dispatching a group of Mantis bounty hunters to eliminate them. However, Affric built up an incredible debt to Lady Mantis trying to maintain his position of power, and she was forced to pull out of the alliance and strike out on her own. This meant that the hunters who were members of the syndicate were forced to take on jobs from a wide variety of employers, often at lower prices, in order to maintain their operational status. It was believed that, during the early years of the New Republic, the Mantis syndicate was hired by the Republic's military forces, during the era of the Empire-Republic War. (GG9, GG10, SWJ15, HG, SWI89, OWS)

Mantis RamAir
This design conglomerate manufactured the MARK IV Flat-Twin Turbojet podracer. Note that the Star Wars Databank names this corporation Manta RamAir. (IG1, SWDB)

Mantium
This ore, mined almost exclusively in the Velcar Free Commerce Zone, was used in the formation of starship hull plating. (SWJ3)

Mantle of the Force
This ancient artifact was uncovered in the shop of Suvam Tan, on Yavin Station, more than 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. The Mantle itself was simply a crystal, although it was imbued with the power of the Force. When used in conjunction with other crystals in the construction of a lightsaber, the Mantle of the Force was believed to have the ability to alter the abilities of the blade, giving the wielder unusual powers. When used in a lightsaber, the Mantle of the Force produced a blade which had an azure color. The Mantle of the Force was believed to have been even older that another such artifact, the Heart of the Guardian. It was pieced together from shards found by Suvam Tan in the temples of Exar Kun on Yavin 4, and many historians believed that it was much more powerful in its original, complete form. (KOTOR)

Mantoid
This was an unusual combat droid that made the rounds in the gladiator arenas of the planet Rattatak, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Cylindrical in stature, the Mantoid was armed with a variety of bladed weapons. (OWS)

Mantologo
This non-commissioned officer was part of the stormtrooper units that were stationed aboard the first Death Star, during its construction above the planet Despayre. (DSTR)

Mantooine
This New Republic CR90 Corvette was part of the force sent to liberate the planet Ciutric from the control of Prince-Admiral Krennel. It supported the flagship Emancipator, along with several other Corvettes and a trio of Nebulon-B frigates. The Mantooine took heavy fire from Krennel's forces, and barely survived the encounter. (IR)

Mantooine
A colony planet located in the Atrivis Sector, in the Outer Rim Territories, Mantooine served as one of the two endpoints of the Relgim Run, opposite Endoraan. It was the primary planet in the Mantooine System, which shares the Atrivis Sector with the Fest System. The planet was the site of an Imperial massacre, in which the planet's inhabitants were murdered when they opposed the Empire. The crushing defeat of the planet's populace hardened the resolve of early resistance leaders like Mon Mothma, and helped solidify the need for an Alliance to Restore the Republic. (SWSB, XW, TFE)

Mantooine Medallion
A military decoration presented by the Alliance, the Mantooine Medallion was designed to commemorate the bravery and sacrifice of the people of Mantooine, in the face of Imperial invasion. This award was given to those Alliance starfighter pilots who completed two tours of duty during the Galactic Civil War. (XW, XWP)

Mantooine Minuet
This piece of classical music was favored by Emperor Palpatine. (MJEH)

ManTrap
This was a form of miniaturized repulsorlift field that worked in reverse from normal. When a being stepped on the trap, the repulsor field generated an intense, localized gravitational field that trapped the being on top of the trap itself. In this way, a being was captured but unharmed before they could reach a specific destination. (GG10, NEGW)

Mantrell, Olina
This was the name of the young girl Pierce Mantrell claimed was his daughter. She was gravely ill, and Pierce turned to theft and smuggling to fund the doctor's visits and medicine she needed to survive. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, she was under the care of Doctor T'jaleq Kith'Araquia. Pierce used her sad story as an excuse to steal the Amber Eye from Schnil Hakoon. (SWJ1)

Mantrell, Pierce
This man was one of Schnil Hakoon's chief rivals, and was a master thief and conman. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Hakoon accused him of stealing the Amber Eye. Mantrell later admitted to stealing the jewel, after Hakoon stole one of his cargoes and left him without enough credits to live. He claimed that he wanted to use the Eye to fund the medicine he needed to cure his daughter, Olina. In reality, he had no daughter, and simply wanted the Eye to fund his own operations. A team of Alliance agents, on the planet to obtain a cure for the Direllian Plague, captured Mantrell and obtained the Amber Eye. They later returned it to Schnil Hakoon, who repaid them with supplies. (SWJ1)

Mantrony
The Bakuran Captain of the Watchkeeper, she loudly argued with Ossilege for command of the ship after it was disabled trying to enter the Corellia System. She lost the argument. (AS)

Mantys
This was a species of flying, predatory insect that was native to the planet Kubindi. Its two forelegs were used as grasping arms, while it moved about on the ground with the other four legs. Individual mantyses lived high in the forest canopy, in a large nest that it created from plant matter and sticks. Most mantyses captured their prey on the ground, then carried it back to its nest in order to eat it. (MIS6)

Manullian
see Manollium (T)

Manumission
This was the lgeal term that described the re-programming of a droid's obedience functions to provide the droid with the ability to act for itself. Manumitting was essentially the freeing of a droid from its service to organic beings, was often performed when an individual rewarded a droid with its freedom, in return for many years of faithful service. Although many organic beings saw the act of manumission as a well-deserved honor, most droids found it to be a mixed blessing, as the freedom they had been given was not always recognized throughout the galaxy. (LCS, NEGD)

Manus Ferre
This Dimok Nebulon-B Frigate was captured by Imperial forces, during the weeks that followed the Battle of Hoth. The Dimoks and their neighbors, the Ripoblus, were attempting to forge an alliance against the Empire, and had planned to meet on Sepan 8 to discuss a treaty. Imperial Intelligence learned of the meeting, and sent a small task force to break it up. Ships from both Ripoblus and Dimok were captured and impounded, putting an end to any rebellion in the system. (TIE, TIEP)

Manwess III
This planet served as the seat of Imperial control in Kilbanis Sector, during the height of the New Order. (GG10)

Manx
A group of Imperial corvettes in use during the Galactic Civil War. (XW)

Maoi
This race of amorphous beings was created by the ancient Kathol race, but where discarded by DarkStryder in the wake of the Rift Disaster. DarkStryder found them to be amoral and self-centered, and tried to dispose of them in the depths of the Segmi tunnels. The Maoi survived, however, and thrived in the underground environment. The Maoi also developed an affinity to the Ta-Ree energy, and often used it to hold their prey while digesting it. This put the prey in the line of fire, protecting the Maoi during a struggle. The prey was devoured from the inside out by a Maoi, which forced itself down the prey's throat and used digestive acids to eat the internal organs. (E)

Map Reader
This slender device was used to display the galactic map stored inside a map record or star map sphere. Using the coordinates and data stored in the map record, the map reader used sophisticated holographics to display an interactive, room-filling map of the galaxy. (E2, E2Y, MF)

Map Record
This small orb was used store a galactic map of known space. No larger than a marble, the map record was placed inside, or on top of, a map reader to display its contents. The data contained in the map record was used to generate an interactive hologram of the galaxy. Also known as star map spheres, these devices were used during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Jedi Order maintained a large collection of map records, allowing Jedi to carry maps with them on the various missions they carried out. (E2Y, MF)

Maphus Tria
Tord Gamb was known to have set up a series of scams and cons on this planet, during the early years of the New Republic. (WBC)

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

Mapping Skiff
Developed by Koensayr during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, a mapping skiff was a small, intra-system craft that could enter a planet's atmosphere and do preliminary mapping of terrain and ecosystem before returning to a mother ship. These vessels were used primarily by large corporations, such as RePlanetHab, since they could afford the cost of an additional vessel. However, it made their claims to a planetary discovery much more detailed than those of independent explorers. After the business of searching for new planets became more cutthroat, Koensayr began arming their mapping skiffs, as per orders from RePlanetHab. (DN1)

Mapuzo
The Alliance base on this planet was infiltated shortly after the Battle of Yavin by an unidentified group. (AIR)

Mar
This given name was commonly given to female human children throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Mar, Abron
This shifty little man was one of Takara's chief associates during the early years of the New Republic. Mara Jade tracked Abron Mar down at the Katraasii Space Port, during her search for Takara, and managed to get him to provide information on Takara's location. (MOTS)

Mar, Belrem
This individual was a noted Caarite, distinguished in the history of the planet Caarimon. (UANT)

Mar, Easal
This was one of the most powerful Jedi ever to train aboard the massive starship Chu'unthor, several centuries before the Battle of Yavin. (PJSB)

Mar Dunn
see Mar Duun (TIEP)

Mar Duun
This Alliance CR90 corvette and her sister ship, the Vop Hui, were dispatched to lay out a minefield near the planet Vinzen Neela 5, several months after the Battle of Hoth. The arrival of the Alliance ships coincided with that of the Sela freighter group, which was part of an Imperial convoy that was transporting TIE Defender prototypes through the system to a rendezvous with the Hininbirg. Both Alliance corvettes were destroyed by the escort ships that accompanied the Sela group. (TIE, TIEP)

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

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

Maraffa
This tree was native to the planet Kabal, and was known for its pleasant odor and its sticky, orange sap. The sap was considered a sweet delicacy, and maraffa twigs were often sold like candy in many marketplaces. (GMR1)

Marais, The
A group of planets in the Koornacht Cluster, the Marais appealled to the New Republic for membership after the start of the Yevethan Great Purge. (BTS)

Marakoloon
This Whiphid was big for his species, and was easily distinguished by his carved and silver-inlaid tusks. He was the second son of a wealthy trader, and not in line to inherit any major wealth. So, he left Toola to join his uncle as a bounty hunter. Although he hated the work, he liked the pay. One day, he found a special exhibit of carnivorous plants in a zoo display. He suddenly realized that the power and beauty of the plants appealed to him, and he spent the rest of his career collecting dangerous species of plants. (HR)

Maramere
This blue-green planet, the primary world in the Karthakk System, was controlled by the Trade Federation during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. It was in orbit around this planet that Vana Sage managed to capture the Feeroin smuggler Nym, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. Maramere was covered almost entirely with water, with rocky spires and outcroppings forming the only land. The native species, the Mere, built wondrous cities in and among the rocks, but also lived underwater. Six years after the Battle of Naboo, a group of freedom fighters led by Sol Sixxa began to fight the oppression of the Trade Federation. With the help of the Feeorin Nym, the Meres were able to overthrow the Trade Federation and reclaim control of the planet. It thrived for many years as a resort world, until the Clone Wars put a stop to much of the galaxy's vacation travel. (T7, CRBN, O, JSF)

Mara-nas
This was the Yevethan term for the birth cask which all female Yevetha carried in a mating ridge on the backs of their heads. It was nourished with continual infusion of Yevethan blood. (SOL)

Maranium
This was a relatively abundant natural ore, which had a number of modern uses. Fireworks experts noted that the use of maranium in the payloads used to put on displays created a purple color when burned. (PP, RCTZ)

Marasa Nebula
This vast expanse of space-borne gases cut off the planet Marasai from the rest of the galaxy for many millennia. It forces the Trellen Trade Route to make a wide detour around it, for it effectively cuts off hyperspace travel. 13 star systems were located within the Nebula, including the Marasai System. The Empire enslaved the Marasan race, hoping to use captive Marasans to shorten the path around the Nebula by using travel nodes known only to the Marasan. (GG12)

Marasai
This planet was the homeworld of the Marasan race, and was located within the Marasa Nebula. It had a gentle, temperate ecology, but its seasonal changes were unpredictable due to its proximity to the Nebula. (GG12)

Marasan
A race of cyborged sentients originating from the Marasa Nebula, the Marasans were large marsupials with thick bodies and long, spindly arms. They walk on two short, muscular legs, and have two sensory appendages in addition to two eyes and a mouth on their flat faces. All Marasans wear a thin, metallic implant wrapped around the backs of their heads. The implant was originally developed to help the Marasans navigate through the chaos of the Marasa Nebula, and evolved into a device which controlled certain autonomic and natural functions. They were a slow-moving race, but their implants allow them to think and communicate electronically. This allows them rapid access to information, and provides nearly instantaneous answers. Their interpersonal skills were lacking, however, when they have to deal with other races. The Marasan race originated on the planet Marasai, and developed the ability to travel through space on their own. Using strange anchorpoints - similar to jump gates, but known only to the cyborged Marasans - within the Marasa Nebula, they were able to travel to 20 colony worlds. This ability was desired by the Empire, which sought a way to shorten the Trellen Trade Route. They forced the Marasans to assist in the movement of Imperial starships through the Nebula by torutring them. The Empire developed a device which could send out immense electromagnetic waves tuned to the Marasan cyborg implants. The resulting pain could be spread out across nearly the entire Nebula, were the Marasans to disobey Imperial orders. The Alliance was powerless to assist: to incite the Marasans to rebellion would bring down the wrath of the Imperial wave device, while the willful stranding of Imperial ships in the Nebula would bring on the power of the Imperial fleet. (GG12)

Marasi
This Yevethan term was used to describe a young Yevethan female who was ready to be impregnated. (SOL)

Marat V
This was the Imperial name of the planet Skye. (LTA1, MCA1)

Marath, Eyar

Marauder
A race of humanoid reptiles living on Endor, the Marauders were descended from Sanyassan ancestors who were stranded on the moon several centuries before the Battle of Yavin. They had a fortress hidden in the rocky wastes of the moon, and were trapped there for a number of years. They evolved into a vicious race, often waylaying visitors to the planet and stealing their technology. They obtained a number of laser weapons in this manner, and sustained themselves by eating the beings they ensnare. Like the Sanyassans, the Marauders had strange, simian faces, scaled skin, and sparse tufts of hair. They had three fingers and an opposable thumb on each hand. They wore makeshift armor created from the scraps they scavenge. The strongest Marauder was declared the King. Terak was the Marauder King when Noa and Salek crashed on Endor, as well as when the Towani family landed on the moon. Terak was obsessed with finding "The Power," which he hoped would allow the Marauders to conquer more than just the simple life forms of Endor. (BFE, SWI65, UANT, SWDB)

Marauder
This New Republic Warrior-class gunship was part of Pakkpekatt's fleet sent to intercept the Teljkon vagabond. It was ordered to return to drydock at Krenhner Sector Station after the mission to capture tha vagabond failed at Gmir Askilon. The Marauder later assisted the Indomitable in taking out a Yevethan T-type thrustship near ILC-905. (BTS, SOL, TT)

This form of body armor was produced by the Marauders who lived on the Forest Moon of Endor. It was lightweight and durable, allowing soldiers to have a wide range of mobility even when fully protected. There were two primary types of Marauder armor, that made for reconnaissance scouts and that made for soldiers. (SWGAL)

Marauder-class Cruiser
Although this vessel was designated as a pocket cruiser, the Marauder-class starship was classified as a corvette. Its heavy weaponry earned it a higher designation among naval experts. Originally designed by Raith Sienar for Republic Sienar Systems, the Marauder-class measured 195 meters in length. Note that Starships of the Galaxy - Saga Edition indicates that this ship was produced by Sienar Technologies. They were sleek, aerodynamic craft designed for system patrol and smuggling interdiction missions. They were armed with eight double turbolasers, with an option to add four more turbolasers with a larger power generator. Three tractor beam projectors allow the Marauder-class to capture smaller ships. A wing of IRD starfighters could also be housed in its fighter bay.

The Marauder-class cruiser was manned by a crew of 129, with 48 gunners and room to transport up to 40 troops. Although Sienar developed these vessels for the Galactic Republic, the Republic opted not to purchase the ship for government use, and Sienar put them up for sale to other governments. The fledgling Corporate Sector stepped in to buy the ships as well as the plans for constructing new ships. Once the ships showed up in Corporate Sector space, other planetary governments began to submit orders to the RSS plant on Lianna. The Marauder-class quickly became one of RSS most recent successes, although the ship eventually found its way into the hands of smuggler and pirates.

Corporate Sector Marauder-class cruisers differed from their Sienar-produced cousins in a few areas, especially the interior appointments. The Corporate Sector Authority chose to deploy their Marauders in pairs, accompanying a Victory-class Star Destroyer and several Invincible-class cruisers for system control. (HSL, CSA, EGV, SOG, NEGC, SSOG)

Marauders
This group of Force-sensitive individuals was one of the many smaller groups that followed the Dark Side of the Force, during the era of the New Sith Wars. Based on planets such as Honoghr and Gamorr, the Marauders were among the groups of Dark Jedi that kept their existence hidden from the Jedi Order. (DBRT)

Marbra, Juri
This young man was engaged to Saahir Ru'luv during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Juri was a strong supporter of the Alliance, and served as a mediary between weapons dealers and Alliance field units. Juri arranged for smugglers to transport weapons to those areas which desparately needed reinforcements. In this capacity, Juri eventually earned the rank of Commander within the Alliance military. He was killed when the Empire discovered the location of the Alliance's base at Merich's Bend and raided the facility. (SWJ15)

Marbra Associates
Known only to the innermost members of Socorro's criminal heirarchy, this money-laundering operation was rumored to have process almost three billion credits a year at the height of the New Order. (BSS)

Marca
This swamp planet was the homeworld of the Sekct species. Because of the existence of a Dynamic Synergetics Incorporated hyperbaride production facility on the planet, the Empire had all records of Marca erased from planetary databases, in order to use the planet as they saw fit. The hyperbaride production was lethal to the native Sekct, and their species was nearly wiped out. A team of Alliance agents, on their way to Sumitra Sector, cut through the Marcellus Nebula and was forced to land on the planet. The team eventually brought down the hyperbaride plant, with the help of the Sertim sisters and the Sekct, and helped free the Sekct from its toxic wastes. The planet itself was covered with a swamp-filled ocean, with virtually no continental land mass, and measured some 12,000 kilometers in diameter. The heat of the planet, combined with its swampy surface, generated a continual shroud of mist which enveloped the planet. The mists collected and dispersed sunlight, making it appear as if Marca had no day/night schedule, just a perpetual hazy gloom. The year on Marca was measured as 340 standard days. (POM)

Marca
This woman was a crewmember aboard the FarStar, during the search for Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne. During the attempt to defeat Sarne and DarkStryder on Kathol, Marca was attacked by a Maoi and had to be confined to sickbay aboard the FarStar. (E)

Marcellus
This yellow star was located in the Marcellus Nebula, and was the primary body in the Marcellus System. (POM)

Marcellus Nebula
According to all Imperial star charts and databases, the Marcellus Nebula was just a vast expanse of interstellar gas. This was because the Empire had maintained a hyperbaride processing plant on Marca, deep inside the Nebula. (POM)

March, Reina
This woman was the leader of the anarchist group known as Edge-9, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Known for her skills as a hand-to-hand fighter, Reina often dressed in non-descript clothing in order to blend in with a crowd. She was sometimes seen in the company of Dannl Faytonni. (CCW, DAG)

Marcha
This Drall was Ebrihim's aunt, and was the Duchess of Mastigophorous on Drall. She provided shelter for Ebrihim, Chewie, and the Solo children following their escape from Corellia, shortly after the rise of Thrackan Sal-Solo and the Human League. Leia Organa-Solo chose her to be the new Governor-General of the Corellian System, following the end of the Starbuster plot and the death of Micamberlecto. She relocated to Corellia in order to help bring peace to the system. Later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Marcha reluctantly gave her conditional approval to the New Republic Defense Force's plan to use Centerpoint Station as a weapon against the alien invaders. In the aftermath of the Battle of Fondor, Marcha was kicked out of office, removing the Republic's last hold on the Corellian Sector. (AS, SC, JE, BP)

They continued to live the life of pirates, hoping to get one more shot at taking out Kenit. (FOP)

Marcluro-stone
This stone-like material was used to create statuary and other forms of outdoor artwork. (SWI73)

Marcol Sector
This area of the galaxy contained the planet Barlok. (OF)

Marcol Void
This stretch of empty space separated the Kathol Outback from the rest of Kathol Sector. It was approximately thirty light-years across, and was never fully mapped. What was known was that there were no planets in the Marcol Void, and very little interstellar debris. A flight across the Void, with standard hyperdrive technology, took about 14 standard days to complete. There were two known hyperspace routes through the Void: The Galtea Run, which connected Galtea to Timbra Ott; and the Sebiris Run, which connected Sebiris to the worlds of the Pimbrellan League. (KO)

Marcom, Boyle
This man had served as a navigator within the Sith Empire's naval forces for decades, leading up to the final stages of the Great Hyperspace War. He had been chosen by Commander Yaru Korsin to serve as the navigator aboard the Omen, primarily because Marcom has served under Korsin's father. However, when the Omen and her sister ship, the Harbinger, were discovered by a Jedi starfighter near Phaegon III, Commander Korsin wsa forced to order and immediate - and blind - jump into hyperspace in order to escape. The Omen had been damaged before the jump, and began to tear itself apart while traveling through hyperspace. Upon reversion to realspace, the ship's crew was faced with the possibility of crash-landing into the planet whose gravity shadow had caused the problems in the first place. Korsin's half-brother, Devore Korsin, demanded that Marcom be executed for failing to get them safely away from Phaegon III, but the Commander would not accept this. The group managed to crash-land the Omen on the planet's surface, but the ship came to rest atop a mountain range, with little or no access to the lower levels. Deprived of any satisfaction while still in space, Devore confronted Marcom and demanded an explanation for his failure to keep the ship in orbit. When Marcom angrily retorted that the ship was never actually in orbit, Devore drew his lightsaber and gutted Marcom, killing the old man almost instantly. (LTS1)

Marcopius
This young graduate was one of the Academy honor guards that accompanied Leia Organa-Solo to the Chorios Systems during her talks with Seti Ashgad. Yeoman Marcopius managed discover that Ashgad was poisoning the ships in the small group which accompanied Leia. He eventaully contracted the Death Seed plague unleashed by Ashgad, but was able to hold on long enough to get R2-D2 and C-3PO off the Borealis so that they could tell the galaxy what was happening. Marcopius died before the droids could get him medical assistance. (POT)

Marcross, Saberan
A native of Markin City, on Shelkonwa, 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. Marcross was known among his squadmates as a veritable font of information, much of which turned out to be completely accurate.

Like the other members of his squad, Marcross began to question his continued service to the Empire, especially after the destruction of Alderaan and missions to planets like Teardrop, where the stormtroopers were forced to kill civilians in order to root out any rebels. Thus, Marcross and his squadmates 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 them was Daric LaRone's shooting of Major Dreflin, an act that they quickly decided was self-defense. With little future left in the Empire, the squad stole Dreflin's Suwantek TL-1800 and fled the ship.

After several run-ins with the agents of the BloodScar Pirates, the stormtroopers found themselves mixed up with Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, who were working with a group of farmers on the planet Drunost. For his own part, Solo tried to remain aloof, and posited that the BloodScars might have been working to establish their own version of the Alliance in Shelsha Sector.

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

Continuing their investigation, Marcross 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. She then explained that their mission was to assassinate Choard, forcing Marcross to reveal that he was Choard's nephew. He could not bring himself to shoot his own uncle, a decision that Jade accepted, knowing that Choard would be forced to suffer through an arduous interrogation.

After ensuring Choard's arrest and completing her investigation, Jade demanded the truth from Marcross 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)

Marcus, Korl
This was the alias used by Luke Skywalker, when he accompanied Prince Denid back to the planet Velmor. Marcus was a noted bounty hunter who dressed like a flamboyant pirate. As their cover story went, it was Marcus who discovered Prince Denid, his betrother Loren (portrayed by Leia Organa), and Jedidiah on a remote world, and vowed to return them to Velmor. Marcus was approached by Imperial Captain Traal, who was Prince Anod's attache', with an offer of wealth if the hunter would assassinate Prince Denid and "Loren." (LTA2, MC49)

Marcy, Ione
This thin-bodied, female being was discovered by Tera Sinube and Ahsoka Tano at the apartment of Nack Movers, during the height of the Clone Wars, when the two Jedi were searching for Ahsoka's lightsaber. The two Jedi believed that Movers had purchased the weapon from Bannamu, but arrived to find that Movers had been killed by an unknown assassin. Distinguished by her pinkish skin and vertical-lidded eyes, Ione Marcy was hiding in the apartment when the Jedi arrived, and claimed to have been coming home when she discovered Movers' dead body. She went to explain that a male being had probably killed Movers, although Ahsoka discovered the obviously-female Cassie Cryar hiding in the apartment's bedroom. Sensing that she was lying, Master Sinube tried to arrest Marcy, but she bolted out of the apartment and fled the scene in an airspeeder. She then recovered Cryar, who had managed to escape from Ahsoka Tano with the lightsaber, and the pair fled into the underbelly of the city. Although they believed that they had made their way to freedom, Ione Marcy was unaware that Master Sinube had attached a tracking beacon to her clothing. Although Cryar discovered the beacon and smashed it, the Jedi were already hot on their heels, forcing the pair to flee into a crowded speeder station. A group of police droids quickly apprehended Marcy, while the two Jedi tracked down and captured Cryar a short time later. (CWTV33)

(TOP2)

Marek, Galen
This was believed to have been the given name of Darth Vader's secret apprentice, a man known only as the Starkiller throughout his training. The Starkiller learned of the name Galen while on Kashyyyk, during a mission to rescue Princess Leia Organa and gain the confidence of her father, Senator Bail Organa. While on Kashyyyk, the Starkiller stumbled upon the hut in which he and his father, Kento, had lived. It was here that Vader had killed his father, when Galen had been just a child. He nevertheless took up his father's lightsaber and confronted the Sith Lord, prompting Vader to sense his connection to the Force and take him on as an apprentice. Vader had eliminated any knowledge of his true name, and kept him unaware of his actions for many years, until the Kashyyyk mission.

After leaving Kashyyyk, the Starkiller found that he was becoming less and less Vader's apprentice. With the name Galen to cling to, he began to wonder what more his Master had kept hidden from him. He also began to develop feelings for his pilot, a woman named Juno Eclipse, which further served to draw him away from the Dark Side of the Force. When his missions brought him into contact with Rahm Kota and Senator Bail Organa, the Starkiller found himself understanding the evil that was the Empire, and he began to see himself more as a rebel than a Sith apprentice. When Vader captured his friends and revealed that the Starkiller was nothing more than a tool, the young man that was Galen finally rose to the surface. Drawing on his connection to the Force, Galen rescued his friends from Imperial captivity, sacrificing his own life to ensure that the Alliance to Restore the Republic could be born. It was only after his death that Juno Eclipse discovered the Starkiller's full name, after Bail Organa revealed it to herself and Rahm Kota. It was Organa's daughter, Princess Leia Organa, who suggested that the Marek family crest - a stylized raptor with upturned wings - be used as the symbol for the Alliance to Restore the Republic, in honor of Galen's sacrifice. (TFUN)

Marek, Kento
This man was one of the many Jedi Knights who served the Jedi Order during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Kento Marek had been living on the planet Kashyyyk for nearly ten years when the command was issued to execute Order 66. Because he had already been in hiding, Kento managed to escape the destruction. The reason for Marek being in hiding was simple, because he had fathered a young son, despite the rules of the Jedi Council. His young son, named Galen, also had a strong connection to the Force, and Kento hoped that the boy would escape notice in the jungles of Kashyyyk. However, Kento himself was later discovered by Darth Vader, who traveled to Kashyyyk to destroy him. Despite Galen's presence, Vader cut down Kento, then turned to the young boy. Galen took up his father's lightsaber and confronted the Dark Lord, allowing Vader to sense his connection to the Force. Vader chose to take Galen with him, and rasied the boy to become his secret apprentice, an agent known as the Starkiller to outsiders. Knowledge of the Starkiller's true identity was discovered many years later by Bail Organa, who revealed it to Juno Eclipse and Rahm Kota after Galen gave his life to ensure their safety. It was Organa's daughter, Princess Leia Organa, who suggested that the Marek family crest - a stylized raptor with upturned wings - be used as the symbol for the Alliance to Restore the Republic, in honor of Galen's sacrifice. (TFUN)

Mar'ek
This ARC Trooper was stationed in the Cularin System, during the height of the Clone Wars. He was ordered to capture Trilinae and her companions, just before the command was given to execute Order 66. The capture was part of a plot to lure any surviving Jedi back to the Cularin System, where they would be ambushed and executed. Mar'ek did not approve of killing for killing's sake, so he stranded Trilinae on a remote world, then vowed to return and let her go free when the war was over. Mar'ek had to be careful, though, because he needed to ensure that Jedi Master Darrus Jeht did not discover the ruse until it was too late. When Jeht returned to the Maelstrom and set course for Cularin, Mar'ek and his troopers received their orders. They tracked Jeht to a turbolift, and waited in ambush for him to exit. Jeht, however, had sensed the coming danger, and hid until the troopers had finished firing. He then cut through their weapons before killing them all, leaving Mar'ek for last. He demanded to know what was going on, and Marek calmly explained that Trilinae was dead, as were Aayla Secura and the rest of the Jedi. Mar'ek had counted on Jeht's Jedi compassion to save him, and he was therefore surprised when Jeht drove his lightsaber through Mar'ek's face, burning away his brain and killing the trooper instantly. (LFCW)

However, she chafed at the structured existence her parents forced on her, and she eventually became a travel agent in order to see other, more exciting worlds. She eventually was hired by Galactic Resorts holozine as a freelance critic. She also discovered that she had a knack for obtaining jewelry, although her methods were completely illegal. As she traveled on luxury liners to exotic ports of call, she learned to steal the valuables of just about anyone, and became known throughout the galaxy as the Tombat. She allowed the misconception that the Tombat was male to grow, further adding to her mystique while throwing off pursuit. During this time, she was shaken by the destruction of her homeworld - mainly because she had stashed a huge cache of jewels in her estate on Alderaan - and vowed to strike back at the Empire in any way she could. She approached Airen Cracken about becoming an agent on Albecus, and joined the Alliance as a freelance spy. Her support for the Alliance was spotty, but she felt no love for the Empire. (SWJ3, CRO)

Marellis
This was Mara Jade's alias when she worked as a come-up flector on Caprioril, during the years following the Battle of Endor. She adopted the alias in an effort to avoid being forced to work for Ysanne Isard. While on Caprioril, Mara encountered Lumiya for the first time, and was forced to defeat her in combat. Unfortunately, Lumiya managed to acquire Mara's lightsaber in the fight. (EGC, EGF)

A aggressive positioning in which the lead warship allows its support fighters to launch from behind the offensive line and then turn hard into the opposing force. Grand Admiral Thrawn used it to ambush the New Republic force which tried to pursue the Imperial scouts that raided the library computer at Obroa-Skai, about five years after the Battle of Endor. Thrawn recognized that the commander of the Republic's ships was an Elomin, and took advantage of the fact that the Elomin mind was unable to handle the unstructured nature of a Marg Sabl maneuver. (HTTE)

She was a friend of Sair Yonka and Aellyn Jand, and agreed to keep they affair a secret by claiming the Yonka was on Elshandruu Pica to meet her, not Aellyn. (GG9, BW)

Margath's on Elshandruu Pica
This conglomerate of bars, casinos, and restaurants was one of the Outer Rim's most well-known retreats. Among the various places of relaxation, all owned by Kina Margath, was the 27th Hour Social Club. It had maintained a five-star rating for a number of years. In order to protect their interests, Margath and her investors posted signs at the entrance to each location stating, "No liability is accepted for injuries or illness resulting from sampling items on the following drinks list. Customers are advised to check for species compatibility before ordering."

Widely considered one of the most popular and well-known establishments in the Quence Sector of the galaxy, Margath's attracted well over 10,000 patrons each day, and it was believed that nearly 100,000 beings could pass through the facility on a busy day. (GG9, OWS)

Margryph, Chantique
This was the alias used by Jarael, when she and the Camper infiltrated the bank on Telerath, during the final years of the Mandalorian Wars. Chantique was the wife of Baron Hyro Margryph, who traveled to Telerath to reopen their bank account, which had been frozen on Taris in the wake of the so-called "Padawan Massacre." Chantique explained that the couple feared the Baron's name had somehow been mistaken for that of Marn Hierogryph, the Snivvian who was believed to have taken part in the murders of the Jedi Padawans. In reality, they were trying to open one of Hierogryph's own accounts.

They were assisted in this attempt by banker Arvan Carrick, who had been assigned to their case. Unknown to the Arkanians, Arvan was actually Zayne Carrick's father. (KOR3)

Maria
A Lambda-class shuttle used by high-ranking Alliance officials, the Maria was forced to stop for repairs and was attacked by the Star Destroyer Malice. The shuttle was rescued by a squadron of A-Wings led by Keyan Farlander, which drove off the Malice and allowed the shuttle's crew to complete their repairs. The shuttle was later used to transport Princess Leia Organa to the Tantive IV, along with the plans for the first Death Star. As noted earlier, this contradicts the Star Wars Radio Drama, which had Leia onboard the Tantive IV, receiving the plans via tight-beam transmission from the planet Toprawa. (XW, XWP)

Mariana
This woman, a native of the planet Bellassa, owned and operated a shop known as Mariana's Exquisite Designs and Alterations, during the last years of the Old Republic. The shop catered to the needs of many of Ussa's upscale clientele. However, the shop fell on hard times after the Empire took control of Bellassa, about a year after the end of the Clone Wars, when Mariana agreed to do work for the Empire. Her fellow Bellassans all but ostracized her, and the shop was apparently empty on most days. In reality, Mariana was working at night to do the sewing and tailoring required by the Imperial garrison and prison that was established in Ussa. (LJ1)

This planet, the homeworld of the Amanin race, was covered with lush forests and grassy plains. During the era of the Clone Wars, a population of Lurmen established a home on Maridun, after they were displaced from their homeworld by the conflict. Although reports from the Grand Army of the Republic indicated that the planet might have been visited by Aayla Secura and Ahsoka Tano, most records indicate that Maridun was discovered early in Emperor Palpatine's reign by Imperial scouts. These Imperials quickly discovered that the Amanin were a strong source of slave labor. After the Battle of Endor, much of the planet's commerce was based on criminal activities, most which were controlled by the Hutts. (GG12, UANT, NEGA, OWS)

Mariin
This man served in the Imperial Navy as the Commander of the corvette Phoenix, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. (TIEP)

Marik, Joha
This pirate was an acquaintence of Urias Xhaxin. Xhaxin tried to convince Marik to join the growing number of pirates who were being contracted by the Alliance to ambush Imperial convoys and steal supplies for the war effort. Marik refused, citing that the Alliance was a group of illegal operatives who were disrupting the balance of the galaxy. Xhaxin, realizing that Marik would turn on him at some point, arranged for Marik to be captured by the Empire. After the Empire squeezed information on Xhaxin's movements from him, Marik was executed. (PP)

Marik, Sella
This woman, a reporter for TriNebulon News, spent part of her career trying to find out why Alexis Cov-Prim had been married five times in three years. Each time, Cov-Prim's new husband died shortly after the marriage, and Cov-Prim was named sole beneficiary in the will. Marik and her editors found this to be very suspicious, and Sella was given the opportunity to track Cov-Prim. When Sella discovered that Cov-Prim was attending the auction of the Shard of Alderaan computer slicing program, she made her way to the Dune Princess to discover what was happening. She posed as a wealthy heiress, in an effort to blend in with the crowd, and later obtained enough evidence to have Cov-Prim arrested. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Marik went to work for the Galaxy 9 News agency, and tracked the dealings of Senator Drextar Pym. (LAA, SWJ7)

Marilite
This naturally-occurring mineral was often used as a compressed energy crystal. (CN2)

Marilla
This woman was the Queen of Gascon during the Galactic Civil War. She ruled the planet with her husband, although the King was heavily influenced by the High Advisor, who was a believer of the Akol religion. Marilla was also the more dominant figure, and controlled both men with her iron will. She also had a softer side, she was having an affair with the Prime Minister of the planet Demigue. (GMS)

Marina, The
This was the primary watercraft parking and storage facility found at the Tropix Island Resort on Dorumaa. (RCTC)

Mariqar Snow Q'lk
This creature was native to the Jhunia snow plains of the planet Neftali, and was hunted for its meat and fur. In many respects, the q'lk were similar to banthas, with shaggy pelts and huge horn-like antlers. They were much smaller, though, measuring just 1.5 meters in height at the shoulder. Adults had billowing white fur, which allowed them to blend in with the icy land on which they live. Immature q'lk have darker fur which lightens and lengthened as they grew. (BSS)

Maris
This yellow star was located in Elrood Sector, and was the primary body in the Meris System. (PG3)

Maris
Whenever Han Solo talked about his past while using an alias - something he did to escape the pressures of being married to the Chief of State of the New Republic - he used the psuedonym Maris to refer to Luke Skywalker. (TBH)

Maris
Meaning "industrious", 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)

Maristo
An alias used by Kell Tainer, Maristo was a starfighter pilot with the Imperial Navy. A Captain by rank, he commanded Drake Squadron, and was assigned to the Star Destroyer Night Terror. The Maristo alias was used to get a flight of Wraith Squadron onto the planet Kidriff Five, near Tobaskin Sector, in order to support the fly-by of the Millenhium Falsehood. (SOC)

Marit
This was the name of the non-human race that lived on the planet Gaftikar. Not originally native to Gaftikar, the Marits were essentially sentient lizards that were equally comfortable walking upright or moving about on all-fours. However, their hands were quite dextrous, and the average Marit could pick up and use tools and weapons. The tan scales that covered their bodies shone with an iridescent sheen that helped camouflage them in the fields. The dominant member of a family group was distinguished by a frill of reddish skin located just below the chin. The eyes of a Marit were black, but had red, slit-shaped pupils that many mammalian races found disturbing to look at. The snout of a Marit was pointed, and its mouth was filled with sharp teeth.

As a people, the Marits were known for their ability to approach a situation logically, devising a plan that cascaded from a single action that would lead to easier activities as the task progressed. This same principle was used to build things as well as to tear them down, starting with the most important actions and leaving the simpler things to take care of themselves. This pattern of thought led the Marits to assess their situation on Gaftikar in terms of numbers and proportions, rather than worrying about who was in power. Although the Marits were not cannibalistic, they preferred to dispose of their dead by consuming them. The average Marit believed that this helped the dead pass over into death, knowing that they would still be of some use to their families after dying.

Unlike the human colonists of the planet, the Marit made their homes in the fields, shunning the cities. This aversion stemmed from the fact that the Marits were originally brough to the planet by the human colonists, and were use as laborers to build the cities. Over time, the Marit population grew larger than that of the humans, and the Marits soon began to take over more and more of the leadership duties on the planet. They could communicate in Basic, which helped them understand the weapons and tactics that were provided them by the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. During the war, the Marits sided with the Republic, while the human population sided with the Separatists. Few military observers could discern a reason for the civil war on Gaftikar, since the planet was so remote and offered little in terms of natural resources. (RCTC)

Marite
This Force-sensitive woman was one of the leaders of the Village of Aurilia, on the planet Dathomir, serving on the council that was led by Rohak. Marite was among the first settlers exiled to Dathomir because of a perceived threat to Emperor Palpatine. She was also one of the growing number of individuals who wanted to expand the Village by taking in offworlders who wanted to learn more about the Force. Although he was initially against the idea, Rohak eventually agreed with Marite that the Village of Aurilia should open its arms to Force-sensitive offworlders. In this way, the lore and knowledge of the settlers could be passed on, while the offworlders helped defend the settlement from attacks by the Nightsisters. (SWGAL)

Mariunhus
This vault-spire was one of the many such facilities established by the Muuns around the cones of active smoker volcanoes on their homeworld of Muunilinst. The smoker on which Maiunhus was built was known for the purity of its ores, and the cone itself was composed of virtually pure gold, silver, and platinum. (GORW)

Marius
This man was a member of the royalty that ruled the daylight side of a remote planet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was the brother of King Cleroff, and the uncle of Princess Risa, and held the position of Vizier in the court. When Han Solo crash-landed on their planet, Marius explained that he had been studying the energy phenomenon that brought Han there in the first place, and agree to help Han return to Endor. It was later revealed that Marius was the mastermind behind all the brigand activity on their homeworld, as well as the stalled peace treaty that Cleroff had hoped to sign with his nightside rival. His studies of the energy phenomena were not wholly scientific, but were performed to support his plans for taking control. When Han Solo arranged to have Prince Gil kidnapped by other brigands, so that King Cleroff could pay his ransom and make Gil's family indebted to him, Marius saw his chance to grab real power. He double-crossed Solo's plans, but Han had also anticipated Marius's treachery. Marius was quickly captured, and Han was able to help King Cleroff establish a peaceful resolution to the situation. (MC101)

Marjan, Saylor
This man, a native of Arapia, was a long-time friend of Toob Ancher, until they have a falling-out and didn't speak to each other for twenty years of so. Over that time, Marji incurred a debt to Saadoon-Kauldi, which was collected by Toob Ancher and Fahs Oxsor on Redcap. (SWJ5)

This droid was developed during the final decades of the Old Republic by Sienar Intelligence Systems as a response to the Republic's prohibition on assassin droids. Although it was officially designated as an assassin droid unit, the Mark III Sleeper was equipped with non-lethal armaments, allowing it to hunt down its targets and bring them to justice without killing them in the process. Resembling a large, floating disk, the Mark III Sleeper moved about on three repulsorlift coils, and was armed with a PRP-502 dart pistol and a hold-blaster that was permanently set to stun. It also produced a force field around its body that stunned any being who came into contact with the droid. Its small size made the Mark III Sleeper the perfect choice for apprehending a target in a small, confined space. When the Separatist movement grew into the Clone Wars, the Mark III Sleeper was abandoned by many beings in favor of more lethal security automatons, especially since the Republic was too busy to enforce its own laws. Ironically, many Mark III Sleeper droids were then acquired by Separatist forces, who used them against the very Republic forces they had once protected. (UA)

Mark of Illumination
This religious insignia was used by the mystics of the Chalactan Enlightenment to denote an individual who had become one with his or her gods. The mark was formed by affixing one or two small beads to the frontal bone of an individual's skull. There were two distinct Marks of Illumination which could be earned by a Chalactan. A single Mark on the bridge of the nose, known as the Lesser Mark of Illumination, indicated an individual's devotion to their gods. A second Mark on the forehead, known as the Greater Mark of Illumination, indicated an individual's attainment of the rank of Chalactan Adept. Together, the two Marks signified the most basic tenet of Chalactan Enlightenment, "As Without, So Within". (IG1, SHPT)

Mark of the Crown
This subtle mark of succession was a characteristic of the true heir to the throne of Gala, but was not a specific birth-mark or identifying feature. The Mark was known to the Galacian Council of Ministers, who could test and individual for its presence. Viso was the primary member of the Council who knew the way to determine the presence of the Mark. Deep within the palace, a special room contained a mosaic floor of pale blue tile. An intricate pattern of silver marked a square within a square on the floor. Whenever a Galacian stepped into the center square, it activated a sensor system that swept the being with a cascade of lights. If the being wore the Mark, the shadows of light would outline them. A Galacian who didn't have the Mark would not cast a shadow. (MOC)

Mark VII Scarab Droid
This was the most recent in the line of Scarab Droids produced for Imperial use by Seinar Fleet Systems. Used during the years surrounding the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Mark VII was easily modified for a variety of missions. The Mark VII resembled a palm-sized insect, and moved about on six magentic feet. Its light weight and maneuverability allowed the Mark VII to scale vertical walls with ease. A single injector mechanism could be loaded with a variety of poisons. (FH1, AEG)

Mark X Executioner
A series of Arakyd gladiator droid, the Mark X moved about on two caterpillar tracks, and had many weapon-studded arms that folded close to its torso. The arms contained flame throwers, lasers, flechette launchers, and other weapons systems. Although these droids grew in popularity during the era of the New Order, their 29,000-credit wholesale price drove off most private owners.

Viceprex Hirken owned one of these droids on Stars' End, and constantly paid the Imperial Entertainment Guild to send him a robot performer to pit against the droid. When Han Solo infiltrated the penal colony, Bollux was sent up against the Mark X. Bollux used skill rather than force in the battle, and was able to defeat the droid by coming in low and locking himself around the Mark X's tracks. The Mark X became confused, for it was never programmed to shoot at itself to disable its opponent. The Mark X went berserk, shooting all its weapons at anything came close to resembling a target. It eventually ran itself into a wall and self-destructed. (HSE, CSA, OWS)

Marka
This young girl was a slave, owned by the Toydarian Lod, during the years leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. When Lod tried to sell her to the Sith Master Finn and his apprentice, the apprentice killed Lod for suggesting that he, too, was a slave. His brief moment of compassion for Marka eventually proved to be his undoing, however. Master Finn recognized that the girl was sensitive to the Force, and her enslavement had pushed her close to the Dark Side. When Marka followed them to their ship, Finn demanded that his apprentice deal with her. Marka then asked them to take her with them, although Finn refused on the grounds that he already had an apprentice. Marka took matters into her own hands, taking the apprentice's lightsaber and pushing him off the ledge of a building to his death. She then took her place as Finn's apprentice. (T17)

Marker Ring
These heraldric rings were developed for the lords and ladies of the noble house of the planet Kilia IV. Externally, the rings bore the crest or seal of the noble house. Internally, there were tiny communications systems that allowed members of the same house to recognize each other. When two rings from the same house were in close proximity, they began to glow, a tell-tale sign of the other noble's presence. Kilian Rangers had theur rank etched into their marker rings, a further indication of their social status. (RESB)

Markko
This was the name of the man who posed as Imperial Counselor Raines, a member of Governor Egron's staff on the planet Chibias, during the early years of the New Republic. Mara Jade discovered the connection between Raines and Markko after meeting up with Ghent for the first time. She also learned that Markko had been hired by Egron to slice open an Alliance datacore, but was unable to perform the task he was hired to do. For this reason, Raines had planned to blackmail Ghent into doing the job for free, while taking all the credit himself. However, Markko's dealings with Governor Egron were themselves a cover, for he was actually an agent of the New Republic. He had been sent to Chibias to ensure that the datacore - which was actually the control node of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer - was sliced open and its information provided to the New Republic military. He was unprepared for Ghent to be accompanied by Mara Jade, but managed to avoid being killed when they escaped. He later cornered Mara and Ghent, accompanied by Governor Egron. Mara dispatched Egron with a well-aimed blaster bolt, and Markko took Ghent hostage. Mara, however, decided that her work was done: she had eliminated an Imperial traitor. She agreed to allow Markko to go free, as long as he freed Ghent. Markko agreed, and Mara let him return to the Republic. (GMR10)

Marks of Contact
This was the term used by the Jedi Order of the Old Republic to describe the various ways that a Jedi Knight could inflict physical damage to an opponent with their lightsaber. These actions were also called marks of combat, although many Jedi chose not to use this term because it denoted the use of a lightsaber for attack, rather than defense. There were eight main marks of combat:

• Sun djem, which removed an opponent's weapon without causing injury
• Shiim, which was a cut with the edge of the lightsaber blade
• Shiak, which meant stabbing

He accentuated his pale coloration by wearing light clothing, but could blend into a crowd by wearing darker clothes. Markus was the primary representative of the Smuggler Confederacy in the years following the Battle of Naboo, acknowledging the control of Nirama over the Confederacy but running the operation his own way. Markus and Nirama then worked together in an effort to bring down The Cell. It was believed that Len Markus was the individual who traveled into the Cularin System's asteroid belt and removed the Darkstaff from its resting place, releasing a horde of strange creatures and causing the sudden disappearance of the entire Cularin System, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. Later information revealed that Markus had hired the noted information broker Sot-sirc to discover the location of the Darkstaff. (LFC, WOTC, LFCW, BIT1)

A member of the Senate herself, Dagga had been working secretly for the Ylesian Senate, performing assassinations to keep certain factions in power. She gladly accepted Thrackan's offer of a kilogram of glitterstim each week he remained alive, to relieve the boredom of working for the Senate.

Marook, Cian
A Hrasskis Senator in the New Republic, Marook openly questioned the placement of Etahn A'baht as commander of the Fifth Battle Group, some twelve years after the Battle of Endor. Marook had been a Senator for five years prior to the Yevethan Great Purge, and was one of three Senators who supported Nil Spaar's apparent bid for a truce with the Republic, but was not one of the group which fled Coruscant after Spaar left. Senator Marook served on the Defense Council during the blockade of the Koornacht Cluster. (BTS, SOL)

Maroon, Nib
This Twi'lek was a native of the planet Ryl, where she was discovered by Rava Teb'lya. Distinguished by her lithe body and dark, sapphire-blue skin, Nib Maroon was an average dancer and singer until Teb'lya turned her training over to Tsserk.

Like the rest of the 105th, Marr was fanatically loyal to the Empire, and many believed that he was just another of the crazed members of the platoon. However, Marr had a keen tactical mind and an intense personality, and many of his strategies eventually found their way into Imperial training manuals. However, Marr was not above taking bribes from Talandro Starlyte, so long as Starlyte realized that no amount of monehy would ever buy his loyalty. (WSV)

Marr, Nichos
Nichos Marr was an up-and-coming young mind in the galaxy. He was also sensitive to the Force. He met, and fell in love with, Cray Mingla while at the Magrody Institute, and the two became betrothed. Their Force sensitivity led them both to Yavin 4, to learn the ways of the Jedi under Luke Skywalker. About six months into their training, Nichos somehow contracted Quannot's Disease, and began to slowly deteriorate. Cray, her love for Nichos unbounded, worked stridently to create an android body to replace his withering human body. She was able to perfectly replicate his form, but her lack of understanding of the Ssi-ruuk entechment techniques prevented her from fully transferring his mind to the new body. Once transferred, Nichos lost touch with the Force, and also lost much of his humanity, although he retained a great deal of knowledge and memory. Six months later, when Luke tried to use the Force to extract some of Nichos' memories about Plett's Well, Luke found only words there to describe the memories. There were no images or emotions associated with them. Nichos and Cray then accompanied Luke to the Moonflower Nebula, and were captured and held on the Eye of Palpatine by brainwashed Gamorreans. During his imprisonment by the Gamorreans on the Eye of Palpatine, Nichos began to doubt his existence as a human, and relaized that he would probably never become human again. So, he volunteered to stay behind with Callista and destroy the ship. When Cray suggested that Callista take her body, Nichos realized the depths of Cray's love for him. Together, they helped destroy the Eye of Palpatine by sacrificing themselves. (COJ)

Marr, Visas
This female Miraluka was a native of the colony world of Katarr, until a battle force of Sith wiped out the entire population, but saved her from death.

She rose to power as a Sith devotee, during the years following the Great Sith War. She reappeared on the Ebon Hawk shortly after the Jedi Civil War, and challenged The Exile to a duel. Although he was unarmed, The Exile managed to deactivate her lightsaber and forced her to back down. Visas Marr pleaded for death, but The Exile wouldn't allow it. He then asked her about her Master, hoping to learn more about Darth Sion and the Sith forces he was trying to eliminate. Visas eventually came to trust The Exile, and accompanied him on the mission to rebuild the Jedi Order. When they encountered Darth Nihilus on the Ravager at Telos, Visas tried to give her life to save The Exile, but Darth Nihilus was only interested in The Exile. In the ensuing battle, the combined strength of The Exile and Visas Marr was enough to defeat Darth Nihilus and kill him. For her part in restoring the Jedi Order, Visas Marr was allowed into the Jedi Order, and eventually trained to become a Jedi Knight. (KOTOR2, LAWS)

This was one of the more common names given to males of the Mon Calamari race. To the Mon Calamari, this name meant "protector" or "guardian". (GCG)

Marrab, Gron
This Mon Calamari was a Senator to the New Republic during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When Coruscant fell to the alien invaders, and the remaining Senators retreated to Calamari, Senator Marrab was appointed to the task force which was assigned to restore communications to those sections of the galaxy which had been isolated during the war. He reluctantly accepted the help of Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, although he was forced to admit that their mission proved successful. It was after the Battle of Esfandia, which helped secure the Galactic Alliance's primary communications link to the Unknown Regions, that Marrab was forced to admit the helpfulness of the Ryn in identifying the reasons and parties behind much of the communications blackout. (HT, FH1, FH3)

Marri

This independent scout was known for scouting only most unusual and profitable worlds. (GG8)

Marruc
This young Zeltron was part of the detachment sent to the Forest Moon of Endor to meet with the leaders of the Alliance, most especially Leia Organa, in the wake of the Battle of Endor. Admiral Ackbar then placed the four Zeltrons in charge of protecting Leia, in order to simplify a delicate situation. Marruc and his companions were personally escorted back to Zeltros by Leia Organa shortly afterward. Like most Zeltrons, Marruc had a strong hatred of the Nagai. When the Nagai tried to subjugate Zeltros, Marruc was one of the first Zeltrons to defend Leia. He was badly injured in the attempt, and his imprisonment at the hands of the Tofs didn't help the healing process. (LTA6, MC95, MC103, MC106)

Marruc
This was a common name among the Zeltron people. (GMR1)

Marsh, Janos
This man served as the starship computer expert on board the scout vessel Bright Seeker. Although outwardly loyal to House Calipsa, Marsh was, in fact, a reserve member of House Melantha's Covert Activities Cadre. He had been infiltrated into the crew of the Bright Seeker in order to help the Knife's Edge capture her. The goal was to keep House Calipsa from locating a new trade route through Tapani Sector. The plans to take the Bright Seeker were thrown off when the ship jumped into hyperspace, forcing Marsh to act on his own. After the crew discovered that their blind jump had placed them in proximity to the Regal Destiny, Marsh dispatched a message to his superiors giving their location. Marsh was forced to murder Quat Ralto in order to maintain his secrecy. He eventually made his way to the Regal Destiny, but was overpowered by a group of freelance crewmen who were working for Captain Wender on the Bright Seeker. (TSIA)

Marsh Haunt
This unusual swamp creature was native to the planet Abraxin, although it could be found in many forms on other planets. Many xenoarchaeologists believed that the idea of a "Force Demon" evolved from beings who encountered a marsh haunt on a dark night. The marsh haunt was a greenish-gray, bipedal creature whose skull was set between its shoulders, giving it a headless appearance. They were unintelligent creatures which were more fearsome in appearance than they were in action, but they had the ability to channel a small amount of the Force to frighten other creatures. By hunting in packs, marsh haunts could scare their prey into an ambush of other marsh haunts. (PJSB)

Distinguished by his bald head and boisterous sense of humor, Marshak was one of the beings who supposedly witnessed Han Solo's winning of the Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissian, at least according to Squishmael. As Squishmael told it, Marshak was the individual who explained to Solo that the Kessel Run involved obtaining rare Kessel Birds from the Aeneid System. Of course, Squishmael later explained that Marshak and Lando had been playing an expensive joke on young Solo, as part of Lando's revenge for losing the Millennium Falcon. (T16)

Marshoo
This immense Gungan was the head chef of General Marshoo's Eatery in Otoh Gunga, during the period leading up to the Battle of Naboo. A former General with the Gungan Grand Army, Marshoo took criticism of his culinary creations with great afront. When Jar Jar Binks tried to beg for scraps, Marshoo tried to pound him flat, but was stopped by Captain Tarpals, who had come to arrest Binks. When Binks reminded Marshoo that he was no longer in the military and was "just a cook," Marshoo tried to take out both Tarpals and Binks on his own.

After Dixton's shuttle, the Resurgence, was forced to land on Masterhome, both Dixton and Marska were captured by Alliance forces and imprisoned. (SWCP)

Marskan, Casal
This Alliance starfighter pilot was the younger brother of Ernek Marskan. Casal was assigned to be Keyan Farlander's wingman on a mission to capture the Ethar group of Imperial Corvettes, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Casal was later killed in battle. (XW, XWP)

This man was serving the Alliance's naval forces as a starfighter pilot, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Ernek was stationed on the flagship Independence while Keyan Farlander served there. During a mission to destroy the ships that were escorting the Star Destroyer Intrepid, Captain Marskan's performance nearly cost the other pilots in the squadron their lives. Farlander was forced to break off the battle before they could reach the Interpid, and was forced to admit that Marskan had been off his normal abilities. However, Farlander urged his commanding officers to keep Marskan on active duty, because he was a good pilot. When his younger brother, Casal, was killed while accompanying Farlander on a mission, Ernek became distrustful of Farlander's tactics. He confronted Farlander and accused him of killing Casal, but Farlander stood his ground and forced Ernek to back off. However, Ernek continued to question Farlander's abilities in discussions with other pilots aboard the Independence. (XW, XWP)

Marson, Arne
This man worked as a repulsortruck driver on the planet Coruscant, during the early years of the New Republic. During a regular run, Marson went to work overly drunk, and accidentally overturned his truck.

This group of fighter pilots was distinguished by one of its former members, Gallandro, who was generally considered one of the best Demons ever. (HSL)

Marspa
This ancient Jedi Master and his Padawan, Imina, traveled the galaxy for many years together. Quite often, Imina asked questions about the various ways in which the Jedi Knights had to handle their own tenets, based on the situation. They witnessed Hutt brutality against their slaves on Nal Hutta, as well as domestic violence on Ord Mantell. When Master Marspa failed to step in to help the slaves, but intervened on Ord Mantell, he explained to Imina that the Jedi Knights had to accede to the laws and customs of the planets on which they worked. He explained it this way: "For a Jedi to interfere with a culture on their homeworld would have been to pass judgement on them on behalf of the Republic." (PJSB)

Marstan, Thew
This carnival strong-man worked for Kersh Lauskner's Travelling Animal/Acrobatic Arcadium. He was renowned for this size; at just under a meter in height, he could bar metal bars and lift a platform on which audience members were sitting. The source of his strength had never been revealed. (GCQ)

Marsune
This ancient Gungan was something of a folk-hero to his contemporaries, more than 3,000 before the Battle of Yavin. Marsune was an independent thief, robbing from the rich clan leaders and distributing the wealth among the poorer Gungans. He hid in the forests of Naboo, avoiding capture while earning the admiration of the common people. However, when Boss Rogoe destroyed Otoh Sancture, Marsune's sense of fair play and his conscience finally gave way to determination. He came out of hiding to provide information on the forests to Boss Gallo, hoping that Gallo could defeat Rogoe and unite the Gungan people. In return for his assistance, Boss Gallo named Marsune the first Captain of the united Gungan Army. (GB)

This was the name of an Alliance General who commanded ground forces on a desert planet, sometime during the Galactic Civil War. (RASB)

Martinette
This pirate ship was operated by Captain Jayhawk and Mirthen during the Galactic Civil War. The Martinette was a modified YT-1300 freighter, and was armed with a twin laser cannon and a heavy laser cannon. Jayhawk used the Martinette by pretending to be an Alliance privateer vessel. The Martinette was overtaken and nearly captured after it tried to intercept the crew of the Long Shot near Masterhome, but the Alliance forces were able to drive the pirates off. (SWCP)

Martook
This name was common among the Narzen people. (WOTC)

Marty
This New Republic Navyman served as deck officer under Etahn A'baht on the Glorious. (BTS)

Martyr
This was the name of General Grievous' personal shuttle, used during the Huk Wars on his homeworld of Kalee. In the wake of the wars, the Martyr was sabotaged by San Hill, who wanted Grievous to be left with devastating injuries that would force him to sacrifice himself for the good of his people. The shuttle plunged into the Jenuwaa Sea, and was recovered by Count Dooku himself. (OWS, SWI86)

Martyr of Drongar, The
This was the title used in many newsfeeds to describe Phow Ji, after his death on Drongar during the height of the Clone Wars. The name referred to his seemingly heroic actions in wiping out a gang of Salissian mercenaries and their battle droid army, ostensibly to save the staff at Rimsoo Seven and allow them to relocate in the face of a Separatist attack. (MJH)

Martyrs
This constellation, found in the skies of Bothawui, was named in honor of the Bothan pilots of Blue Squadron. These pilots died trying to get the plans of the second Death Star to the Alliance. (KT)

Martyrs
This was the title given by the Bothan people to the members of the group which stole the plans to the secoind Death Star, as well as to those Y-Wing pilots who died ensuring the plans were given to the Alliance High Command. The Martyrs hold an almost sacred place in Bothan history and society, for their actions ultimately brought down the Emperor and the New Order. For a Bothan family to be joined to the family of a Martyr in marriage or other bond was considered a blessing. (KT, IR)

Martyr's Plaza
This nine-meter-wide dome was erected in the settlement of Ahdjok, on the planet Nizon, to celebrate various events in the history of the Nazren people. Scrollwork and bas relief sculptures tell the stories of various Nazren individuals and their deeds, and three awe-inpsiring statues of famous Nazren circled the dome. However, these statues were not maintained on a regular basis, and the statue of the prophet Sulkot teetered in the strong gusts of wind. Located beneath the dome was the primary communications center of Ahdjok, and it was here that complex computer models kept track of the multitude of celestials bodies that passed through space near Nizon. (WOTC)

Maru
This large reptile was native to the planet Kashyyyk, where it was domesticated and used as a beast of burden by the Wookiees. (CWG)

Maru, Crian
This Jedi Knight was one of the many who were caught up in events during the six months leading to the Battle of Ruusan. She and her apprentice, Dree Vandap, were dispatched to Harpori to locate Kaox Krul, but were too late to save the Duros colony there. The Dark Jedi caught them in the Balowa System, disabling the Golden Song as well as his own starfighter. After crashing on the only inhabited world of the system, the two Jedi readied themselves to confront the Sith warrior. Crian tried to take the fight to him on her own terms, hoping to offset Dree's limited training by battling Kaox Krul on her own terms. Unfortunately, Kaox Krul was able to throw Crian from the battle with a blast of Dark Side energy. During this brief lull, Krux killed Dree Vandap, then turned his full attention to Crian. Crian, angered at the untimely death of her Padawan, attacked with fury as much as focus. The battle went on for hours, until Crian finally gave in to the Dark Side. In the incredible concentration of Dark Side energy, both Crian and Kaox Krul were completely consumed, blasting the life from the immediate area and causing widespread ecological damage to the planet. Neither was ever found again. (GMR5)

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

Maruirsa
This was the Ewok word for "beautiful." (GPB)

Maruisa
This was the Ewok word for "serene." (GPB)

Maruk, Jai
Originally born on Druckenwell, this Jedi Master was one of the many that were thrust into positions of military command when the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy. Maruk was known among the other Jedi and many Padawans as the Hawk-bat, because of his fierce, wild stare. He was among the few Jedi who were on patrol near Vjun when they were intercepted by Asajj Ventress and brought to the remote planet. There, Maruk was attacked and forced to fight in a lightsaber battle with Ventress. The Dark Jedi would have beaten him if Dooku hadn't stepped in and called the battle off. Maruk nonetheless suffered a scarring lightsaber slash that damaged his face. However, Dooku released him so that he could return to Coruscant with a message for Yoda. Maruk raced back to the Jedi Temple in his starship, the Limit of Vision, and delivered Yoda's message personally. It was shortly after this that Yoda tried to challenge Maruk's perceptions, when he made a wager on the outcome of the Apprentice Tournament. Maruk had already decided that Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy - otherwise known as Scout - was unfit for the rigors of being a Jedi Knight. Yoda bet Maruk that if Scout finished in the lower half of the tournament, she would be sent to the Agricultural Corps. If she finished in second, third, or fourth, she could remain as an apprentice. However, if she won the tournament, Master Maruk would have to take her on as his Padawan. Maruk reluctantly agreed, and was more than surprised when Scout emerged as the tournament champion. He accepted her as his Padawan, but was unable to spend much time with her before being assigned to accompany Yoda back to Vjun. However, the little time they did spent together made Jai realize that he actually liked Scout. Their relationship was cut short when the Jedi were intercepted on Phindar by Asajj Ventress and a squadron of assassin droids. The Jedi fought bravely, but they were no match for the Dark Jedi and her droids. Master Leem was struck by a spray of flechette razors before being cut down by Ventress, and Maruk leapt into the fray to try and save her. However, he was no more a match for Ventress than Master Leem. In a battle that lasted just thirty seconds, Maruk was killed by Ventress. With his dying breath, Maruk swore to Scout that he would remain with her forever, at least in spirit. The deaths of the Jedi Master left their Padawans alone, until they were rescued by Yoda. (YDR)

Marut
This Victory-class Star Destroyer was part of the Imperial fleet, and was used to raid Alliance training facilities shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)

Mary
This beautiful, blonde-haired woman was part of Raggold's rebellion on the planet Solay, during the weeks following the Battle of Endor. After Raggold's assassination, Mary suggested that Luke Skywalker be named the ruler of Solay, as a representative of the New Republic and the democracy the natives of Solay so desparately wanted. Mary and the rest of the rebel band had but a few days of freedom, for Imperial warships arrived to assist in restoring King Blackart to power. Mary was shot and killed in the initial wave of attacks. (MC89)

Maryb Wastes
A vast, open wasteland found on the planet Maryx Minor. The Ancient Order of the Pessimists located their base beyond the Wastes. (EOE)

Maryo
This resort world was located in the Corporate Sector. It was here that Authority agents first contacted Torm Dadefferon about becoming an agent and exposing his father. (CSA, SWDB)

Maryx Minor
The Ancient Order of the Pessimists made their home on this desolate world. Maryx Minor was volcanically active, and open lava pits and steaming geysers litter the landscape. Boba Fett tracked the outlaw Abal Karda to this world, completing his bounty hunt. (EOE)

Marzoon Confederacy
This alliance of planetary governments joined the Old Republic some fifty years before the Battle of Endor. They signed a treaty which brought them into the Republic aboard the Chandrilan corvette Freedom's Messenger. (DARK)

Mas Ramdar
This Dreadnaught was part of the Old Republic's Home Fleet Strike Group Five, which defended the planet Coruscant during the height of the Clone Wars. The Mas Ramdar was commanded by Barrow Oicunn, and it was credited with the destruction or disabling of many Separatist warships during the fighting. This ship saw heavy fighting during the First Battle of Coruscant, and was part of the main force that attacked the Invisible Hand. However, the Mas Ramdar took heavy damage during the battle, and was further pounded by the weapons of the Invisible Hand until Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi managed to infiltrate the Separatist ship. (E3N, SWDB)

MAS-2xB
This immense, mobile turbolaser platform was developed for the New Republic by Loronar. Standing more than twice the height of an AT-AT walker, the MAS-2xB was an ovoid vehicle which was essentially built around a huge turbolaser. The main body of the MAS-2xB was dedicated to the main turbolaser pulsor, while a small cabin was hung below the body. In addition to the main pulsor, the MAS-2xB was armed with a pair of turret-mounted double turbolaser cannons and a pair of heavy laser cannons mounted on the cabin. The MAS-2xB was equipped with a 4.2FC fusion power core to supply the tremendous amount of energy required to operate the vehicle. The MAS-2xB was protected by two-meter-thick armor plating and six separate shield generators. (EGW)

Masak, Tyrnia
This woman grew up in the slums of Nar Shaddaa, where her mother worked for Durrsk, a minor crimelord. Tyrnia was a large child, and quickly learned that fighting was not only required to survive, but could pay good money. She discovered that she had a talent for gladiator fights, and used her winnings to help her family survive. When her mother fell into debt to Durrsk, the Quarren took Tyrnia as payment, and had her trained by one of his own fighters. This man recognized that Tyrnia had a connection to the Force, and taught her how to use the Force to her advantage in the arena. Her technique often involved baiting an opponent into expending their energy, at which time Tyrnia simply pummelled them into submission. After learning that Durrsk had killed her mother during an argument, Tyrnia attacked the Quarren during a gladiator event, jumping from the arena and killing Durrsk with her bare hands. Although her trainer helped her escape, Tyrnia learned that Durrsk's family had placed a bounty on her head. She fled into the galaxy, participating in illegal gladiator events to earn enough credits to survive and move on to another location. (WOTC)

Masakayan
This Tarro was a Lieutenant Commander for the Alliance. (GG12)

Masalou
This barren world was the second planet in the Baralou System, and lies just outside the planet's Alou asteroid belt. (PG1)

Masan, Rophele
This man worked for Empire Freight Company, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. He had a number of contacts among the smugglers who worked out of Lamuir IV, and could help match up prospective customers to spacers. (TSIA)

Masana, Callista
This woman was a member of the Jedi Order, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. However, Callista was one of the handful of Jedi who were trained by Djinn Altis and chose to disregard the traditional teachings of the Jedi Order and embrace the ways of the ancient Jedi. Callista herself was an adult who was working on her parents' farm on Chad when she was discovered by Master Altis, and she became his second Padawan learner. She later became romantically involved with another of Master Altis' followers, a young man named Geith Eris, whom she had found on Cloud City. Despite their differences, however, Master Altis and his followers chose to answer the call when the Jedi Order asked for assistance in dealing with the skirmishes of the Clone Wars. Their first missions were primarily humanitarian in nature, delivering supplies and food to planets that had been ravaged by the fighting.

On a routine mission to the planet Yarille, Master Altis sensed trouble near JanFathal, and diverted their ship to investigate. They were intercepted by the warship Leveler, and agreed to work with her crew to rescue Hallena Devis. Aboard the Leveler, Callista was struck by two crises of faith. The first focused on the clone troopers who were stationed on the ship. Like Geith, Callista did not condone the use of clones as the primary soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic. Master Altis, while recognizing their concern, refused to let them ignore the situation. He asked Callista to do what she could to make the most of the situation, doing no harm while trying to make the best out of a bad situation. The second crisis came when she was introduced to Ahsoka Tano, the Padawan who was being trained by Anakin Skywalker. While not openly hostile, Ahoska had been trained in the Jedi Temple, and at first could not understand Callista's choice to leave the Jedi Order. The young Togruta offered to help save Callista, which at once angered and confused her, although Callista refused to get into a philosophical argument with the Padawan. The rescue mission nearly failed when the Leveler was unable to properly defend itself against Separatist warships, primarily because the ship's new concussion missile system was experiencing problems. With help from Lieutenant Derel, Callista was able to use the Force to enter the inner workings of the missile systems and get the missiles working again. The experience of being as one with the machinery was both exhilarating and frightening, and it left Callista momentarily without a connection to the Force. It took Callista several hours to fully return to her normal self, although she continued to feel as if she had some part of the ship's computer systems in her mind.

Near the end of the Clone Wars, Callista was stationed aboard the support vessel Redeemer during the defense of Thyferra. There, Callista met Etain Tur-Mukan, who confided in her that she had recently given birth to a son, despite her current membership in the Jedi Order. Etain asked about the possibility of her joining Master Altis' group, and Callista could think of no reason why Etain would be shunned by her Master.

In the wake of the Clone Wars, Callista and Geith were chosen to destroy the warship Eye of Palpatine, but were unable to complete the mission. Callista's spirit was trapped aboard the ship, and was later freed by Cray Mingla. Callista took up Cray's body when the other woman agreed to remain behind and destroy the ship, and Callista adopted the name Callista Ming in her honor. (RC66, CWNOP)

Masanya
This modified CR90 corvette was used by the Alliance as a sensor jamming source. Admiral Ackbar placed the Masanya near the main fleet, where it could work to disrupt the weapons targetting systems of enemy craft. (CCG11)

Maseel, Pessk
This was the name of a noted Clawdite individual in the history of the planet Zolan. (UANT)

Masel
This male Koorivar was a fence who worked on the moon Nar Shaddaa, during the early years of the New Order. Masel was known as an opportunist, and made a tidy profit selling goods to both sides of the conflict during the Clone Wars. It was Masel who sold Bammy Decree a Hanx-Wargel Superflow IV navigational computer, when the young man was rebuilding the scrapped hulk of the Stellar Envoy. Masel also facilitated a deal between Rej Taunt and members of the Black Sun criminal organization. (MF)

Maser
This was a form of short-range, microwave-based communication system that was developed by the Imperial Remnant, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (FH3)

Maser Cannon
This was a form of weaponry that was developed by the Chiss, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Rather than using standard blaster technology to generate a beam of coherent energy, maser cannons used microwave radiation to create a blast. (DN3)

Maser Debriding
This was a medical technique in which dead and burned flesh was removed with specialzied tools that utilized amplified microwaves. (SWI83)

Maser Fan
This was a type of maser weapon that was used by the Chiss as an artillery cannon on their MetaCannon weapon. The maser fan was more than just a large maser cannon. It was formed from a set of maser emitters that were connected to a single power source, and could literally spray maser energy at a target. (DN3)

Masgen System
Qatak Qantaras worked for the Alliance in this system, during the Galactic Civil War. (GG12)

Mashi Horansi
A subspecies of the Horansi race, the Mashi Horansi were easily distinguished from the other races by their jet black fur and their sleek bodies. They were also the only purely nocturnal species of Horansi, a trait they have inherited from their ancestors. The Mashi Horansi were excellent hunters, and could be tracked only by the most skilled - and often lucky - of trackers. For this reason, the pelt of a Mashi Horansi was prized by the other races. They mate for life. (PG1)

Ma'Shraid
This Yuuzhan Vong prefect was one of the few female leaders that accompanied the first wave of the Praetorite Vong invasion force into the galaxy. She commanded the warriors who guarded the yammosk on Helska,and commanded one of the first warships to enter the galaxy with prefect Dooje Brolo. (VP)

Mashrang
This was a common male name among the Gamorrean people. Like most Gamorrean names, it was essentially gibberish that indicated what a Gamorrean would do if you made him angry. (GCG)

Mashukir
When translated into Basic, this Mando'a verb meant "to disperse." (OWS)

Masked Soldiers
In the prophetic visions of the Keganite woman O-Vieve, the Masked Soldiers attacked and subjugated the planet Kegan. Historians later learned that these soldiers were actually the Imperial stormtroopers of the New Order. (FFT)

Masked Wookiee, The
This was the stage name of a Wookiee wrestler who worked at The Chasm in Hedrett, on the planet Cularin, during the final years of the Old Republic. None of his co-workers, nor any of the patrons, knew his real name. When the cantine opened, The Masked Wookiee sat in his cage and talked trash with the patrons as they came and went, hoping to lure one of them into a fight. When a partron agreed to fight the Wookiee, they were placed inside his cage and given a chance to render the Wookiee unconscious. The Masked Wookiee was first and foremost a showman, and never willingly injured an opponent. However, he was more than capable of defending himself against an opponent who genuinely wanted to duke it out. (FOC2)

Masking Putty
This pliable material was used by actors and artists to modify a being's facial structure. (BP)

Masla
This young woman was the daughter of an Imperial officer, as well as a member of the theater troupe which was led by Roons Sewell, during the height of the New Order. Masla found herself falling in love with Roons, partly because of his good looks, but mainly because of the emotion and humanity he possessed and was unafraid to display. Unfortunately, when an Imperial law enforcement team tried to break up the troupe's performances, Masla was shot and killed during a firefight. Her death only hardened Roons' resolve to join the Alliance and exact revenge on the Empire. His first act of defiance came just after Masla's death, when Roons executed her father, who was an Imperial officer at the time. From that point forward, Roons cried out Masla's name every time he went into battle. (SWERS)

Maslak
This was a species of lily which grew in the shallow waters of the planet Somov Rit. Sprouting from the wide, dish-shaped leaf of the maslak was a tall stalk, atop which grew an enormous bulb. The bulb contained seeds, which had wing-like petals that allowed them to be carried on the wind when the plant reproduced. (JVS)

Maslovar
This was considered to be the primary city on the planet Desevro. Bleys Harand once described Maslovar as "not so much a city as it is the carcass of every city at once." It was nearly as old as civilization on Desevro itself, and was established on the coastline of the Gorovod continent. Because of its age, Maslovar seemed to be in a continual state of repair, as ancient buildings and roadways needed constant upgrading to keep them usable. Thus, many travels preferred to move from location to location via speeders and flitters, thereby avoiding the near-constant roadwork. Thirty-seven families made up the majority of the population of Maslovar, with many tracing their roots back to the earliest settlements on Desevro. Many of these families maintained estates on the islands of the Swamplands, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. (GORW)

Maso-class Freighter
An out-dated light cargo hauler. (GG9)

Masona, Roth-Del
This dark-skinned, human Jedi Knight was one of the handful of Jedi who survived the initial stages of the Battle of Geonosis. Roth-Del was part of the small group who were surrounded by the droid armies of Count Dooku and his Separatists, just before the Army of the Republic arrived on Geonosis. After the fighting on Geonosis, Masona was chosen to serve as an assistant to Jedi Master Mace Windu. Some three years later, Masona was killed on Coruscant by General Grievous, when the cyborg warrior captured Chancellor Palpatine. (OWS, SWI86)

Mason-Branger
Manufacturers of shipboard ionization reactors. (SCRE)

Masque Hall
Located on Cloud City, this ballroom was the site of a never-ending masquerade party. (GG2, ZHR)

Masquerade
This luxury yacht was owned by Elwis Bontraar during the last years of the Old Republic. When Jennalyn Bontraar was kidnapped, Zascha demanded that Elwis meet them near Yoribuunt in the Masquerade in order to make an exchange. (WOA22)

Mass Drive Cannon
This form of starship weapon was considered outdated, though highly effective, during the modern era of the galaxy. (CRO)

Mass Pulse Mine
This was a form of hyperenergy weapon that was created by the Hapans. Drawing on the same technology used in pulse-mass generators, the Hapans created a mine that could be either remotely detonated on command, or set to explode upon contact with a starship. When detonated, the mass pulse mine sprayed hyperenergy particles into realspace, effectively blocking the starship from entering hyperspace. These mines were more powerful that the hyperenergy spheres that were created by pulse-mass generators (which were known in the military as "pebblespreaders"), and created a cloud of hyperenergy that took linger to dissipate. (SSOG)

Mass Pulse Tube
This was another name for a pulse-mass generator, but it could also refer to a projectile launcher that fired mass pulse mines. (SSOG)

Mass Reduction Kit
This was a starship modification package that used high-strength, lightweight materials to replace less-expensive, bulkier materials that added mass to the overall vessel. These kits were produced primarily for starfighters and smaller starships, where higher thrust-to-mass ratios translated to more speed and maneuverability. (SWG2P)

Mass Shadow Generator
This ancient weapon was conceived by the forces that served under Revan during the Mandalorian Wars. (KOTOR2)

Massa
This was a common name used by the Klatooinan race. (UANT)

Massa Family
This criminal syndicate controlled much of the underworld on the planet Ukio, before its leader, Granz Niiliisi, was exiled by the actions of the ThunderForce mercenary unit. (HAS)

Massacre at Myomar
This was the name given by scholars to the subjugation of the planet Myomar by Imperial Grand Admiral Ishin Il-Raz. The planet was later used as a maintenance facility by the Empire. (SWI66)

Massacre at Ossus
This was the name used by historians to describe the devastating attack on Ossus that occurred in the wake of the Sith-Imperial War. When the Galactic Alliance surrendered to the Empire after the Battle of Caamas, the Jedi Order refused to follow suit. They claimed to serve the Force, not the government, and abandoned the Jedi Temple of Coruscant before retreating to Ossus. The Empire chose not to pursue the Jedi, although Emperor Roan Fel agreed to send a diplomatic mission to Ossus. Moff Nyna Calixte relayed this information to the Sith, who decided that the Jedi needed to be eliminated. The Massacre at Ossus was the culmination of the hostilities, with the Sith destroying the Jedi facilities on Ossus and wiping out a large portion of the planet's ecosystem. (SWLB, SWLA)

Massacre, The
This was the name used by the popular press to describe the execution of Borus Ferthyn at the hands of Lieutenant Dalin of the Thaereian Military, during the years following the Battle of Naboo, (NET1)

Massage Hood
This was a specialized form of technology that could be slipped over scalp of a being. When turned on, the massage hood applied gentle, undulating pressure to the scalp, opening pores and allowing cleansers and conditioners to make the scalp feel luxurious. (DN2)

Massan
see Polis Massan (X3)

Massan
This was the form of language used by the modern Polis Massan race to communicate with other beings. Massan was a combination of sign language and telepathy that could be used together or separately, depending on who was involved in the conversation. Modern Polis Massans were capable of understanding other languages, but because they were otherwise mute, they could not speak them. (WOTC)

Massasai One
This was Luke Skywalker's callsign, during the period following the Battle of Yavin. He used the callsign while on diplomatic missions to other worlds, during the Alliance's search for a new base and new allies. (CSWEA)

Massassi
This was the name given to the warrior caste of the ancient Sith race. The Massassi were one of the first subspecies of Sith to interbreed with the Dark Jedi who arrived on Korriban in the wake of the Hundred-Year Darkness. It was believed that the Massassi warriors were transported to Yavin 4 by the ancient Sith Lords, where they evolved into a separate race of Sith that was known simply as the Massassi. (DSSB, EGF)

Massassi
This was the language of the ancient Massassi people. (DSSB)

Massassi
An alien race brough to Yavin 4 from a planet in the ancient Sith Empire, the Massassi were red-skinned, yellow-eyed humanoids with a primitive culture. Note that Dark Apprentice indicates that the Massassi had smooth, grayish-green skin. The original Massassi were the warrior caste of the ancient Sith race. They were enslaved by Naga Sadow and transported to Yavin 4, where they were transformed by the Sith Lord's dark powers. They became a race of warriors, with grayish-green skin and large, lantern-like eyes. Over the centuries, in the wake of Naga Sadow's death, the altered Massassi became even more primitive in nature, and were comparatively timid and weak when Exar Kun came to Yavin 4 to seek out a Sith power object. Note that Dark Lords of the Sith portrays the Massassi as savage, Dark Side creatures descended from the Sith themseles. They were the offspring of Naga Sadow's alchemical magic. They were also red-skinned humanoids.

Kun later enslaved them, and made them build the temples that dotted the forest, as focusers of the power of The Force. They were exterminated when Kun, in an effort to defeat the Jedi Knights, consumed their spirits in order to trap his own spirit in the Obsidian Temple during the Great Sith War. Their bodies were destroyed by the Jedi Knights who tried to defeat Kun. Over the intervening millennia, the spirits of the Massassi remained trapped on Yavin 4, until they were released by Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila, with the help of the Golden Globe. They were termed "Massasi" in Lost City of the Jedi. (E4, DA, COTF, DLS, ECH, NECH, EGF)

Massassi Ink Rifle
This ancient rifle was originally developed by the Massassi of Yavin 4, although only a few specimens survived to the era of the Galactic Civil War. It's carved barrel was mounted to a horn-shaped stock, and appeared to have been adapted to fit onto a scimitar. Thus, the ink rifle could be used as a long-range weapon or as a melee weapon. We weapon fired a cartridge that was filled with a dark, viscous fluid that resembled ink, but caused localized paralysis when it came into contact with flesh. It could also cause blindness if the fluid got into the eyes of a target. (SWGAL)

Massassi Isle
This was the name of the landmass on which the Great Temple was located, on the moon Yavin 4. (SWGAL)

Massassi Knuckler
This hand-held, four-bladed weapon was developed by the Massassi for close-in combat. The center of the knuckler was wrapped with leather for a better grip, while two curved blades emerged from either end. (SWGAL)

Massassi Station
This was the name of the Alliance's base on the fourth moon of Yavin. It was named in honor of the Massassi race, which built the huge temples in which the Alliance stored their fighters and command stations while preparing to battle the first Death Star. In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, the Alliance remained at Massassi Station for several months, although most of its leaders were concerned about the fact that the Empire now knew of their whereabouts. However, the Empire did not make an immediate attempt to destroy the Alliance's base, allowing rebel personnel to scout out more suitable locations for the base. (SCRE, RF3)

Massassi Tree
This species of tree was native to Yavin 4. Distinguished by its thick-boled trunk and purplish bark, the Massassi tree could grow to heights of 200 meters or more. The bark of the Massassi tree could be shredded, and the small flowers that grew at branch junctures could be boiled to create a fever-reducing tea. (JS, DA, DOG, GG2)

Massest, Eru
This was the name of a noted Clawdite individual in the history of the planet Zolan. (UANT)

Massiff
Native to the deserts of Tatooine, this massiff was a smaller variety of the form found on the planet Geonosis. It was believed that these massiffs were brought to Tatooine by a trading ship from Geonosis, which crashed in a sandstorm some 200 years before the Battle of Geonosis. The surviving massiffs were taken in by the Sandpeople of Tatooine, who raised them as guard dogs and companions. The Tatooine massiff was of little use as a sentry, since it's sensory systems could not adapt to the planet's whirling sands. Many Sandpeople clans which kept massiffs were considered renegades, since the keeping of off-world animals was a major change to time-honored traditions. (SWDB, E2, SWI62)

Massiff Nebula
This area of interstellar gases was visible in the night sky of the planet Coruscant. (CN1)

Massimo
This rugged man was a mamber of Mirith Sinn's New Republic cell on the planet Phaeda. He was openly suspicious of Kir Kanos, and discovered that Kanos was wanted by Carnor Jax for crimes against the Empire. When Sinn ordered him to back off, Massimo challenged her to a duel for control of the Republic cell. They never got a chance to fight, because Colonel Shev's troops invaded their stronghold, on the information provided by double agent Tem Merkon. Massimo believed Kanos had betrayed them, until Sish Sadeet discovered that the traitor was actually Tem Merkon. Massimo executed Merkon by stabbing him in the heart. He then led the flight and defense of the base at Collo Fauale, holding on until the Lusankya arrived to defeat the Steadfast. He then flew the Phaeda's Hope to the huge ship, and requested a shuttle to follow Sinn to Yinchorr, where he could apologize for assaulting her. He arrived too late to save Sish Sadeet, but managed to recover Mirith. She then fled the New Republic, joining Grappa the Hutt in an effort to locate Kir Kanos. Massimo followed her, and offered to tell Grappa about her true motives for the right price. Massimo told Grappa that Mirith had been spying on his organization, in an attempt to break up the pirate raids he had been staging on New Republic ships. When Grappa caught Sinn, he had both Mirith and Massimo turned over to the Zanibar for their dealings. (CE, CE2)

Massin
This man served as a Chief Petty Officer aboard the warship Leveler, serving under Captain Gilad Pellaeon, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. (CWNOP)

Masslines
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 Limited Warfare. (GG9)

Mass-nulling Clip
Developed to help lighten the load of explorers and scouts, a mass-nulling clip generated a focused field of very-low gravity. This allowed large loads - primarily water and food supplies - to be carried on the back or on a belt clip, without adding additional weight to a being's load. During the early years of the New Republic, pressurization technology was coupled with mass-nulling clips, allowing a week's worth of water to be carried on a being's belt. (TG)

Mass-shadow Mine
This was a sophisticated form of space mine developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. Mass-shadow mines were essentially proximity mines that could detect the presence of a ship that was passing through a nearby point in hyperspace. When a ship was detected, the mine "exploded", creating a localized point of intense gravity that cast a similar gravity shadow into hyperspace. This mass shadow forced the passing ship's hyperdrive system to shut down, dragging the ship back into realspace. In realspace, the Separatists would then ambush the passing ship. A series of these mines was used during the early stages of the First Battle of Coruscant, to prevent any Old Republic warships from returning to Coruscant and jumping directly into the battle.

When the Five Masters Academy was attacked by an unknown force, shortly after the Clone Wars, the Master in Violet was the last of her kind to survive. Chistor found her fighting back against the assailant, who was seemingly a blur that the eye could not focus on.

Some beings used this term in a derisive manner, since many believed that the Jedi Council's restrictive regulations made the Jedi less able to serve as the galaxy's protectors of peace and justice. As the war ground on, the Jedi were criticized for their lack of emotion and the hypocrisy of trying to save beings by using clone troopers as slaves. The supporters of the Jedi Order claimed that their emotional detachment was necessary in order to make tough decisions, and that the clone army was the only thing that kept the Republic falling into chaos.

This unit was brought online during the years just prior to the Clone Wars, and remained active during the wars. When Imperial Commander Strom tried to take control of The Wheel on his own, he was forced to destroy Master-Com in order to reach Greyshade. Greyshade, however, revealed that Master-Com was not a single droid, and that the core of the Master Control System could be housed in a new droid body. A new and improved version of the Master-Com droid was activated, helping to thwart Strom's schemes. This new Master-Com unit was quite interested in the self-sufficiency of R2-D2 and C-3PO, and arranged for them to be freed after they were placed in storage for later reprogramming. When Greyshade confronted Master-Com about his interest in the droids, Master-Com explained that he simply wanted to have some friends. This new Master-Com unit also perished in a hail of Imperial blaster-fire, when it attempted to open Greyshade's personal docking bay so that the Administrator could escape from Strom. Luckily, it was able to transfer control of the station to a third body, which emerged from hiding to discover that R2-D2 had recordings of all the treacherous activities of Greyshade and Strom. Master-Com continued to work at The Wheel, helping Big Bunji take over operations and helping the station's security teams fend off an attack by the Yuuzhan Vong several years later.

This was the generic term used to describe any space-going vessel that was designed to take in an asteroid or other small, rocky body and break it down into smaller chunks for refinement. Masticators used spinning drums that were studded with durasteel "teeth" to pull in the asteroid and grind it into smaller and smaller pieces, until the pieces were small enough to be mixed with water and other materials to create a slurry.

Despite their fearsome appearance and strength, mastiff phalones were so well-muscled that their bodies were top-heavy. The native Lurmen learned that taking the legs out from underneath a mastiff phalone would render the creature all but immobile, allowing a Lurmen hunter to tie its legs together and prevent it from attacking.

(KOTOR)

Matale, Ahlan
This man was the patriarch of the Matale family, and lived on the planet Dantooine some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Ahlan, whose family had been in a feud with the Sandrals for many years, blamed the kidnapping of his son, Shen, on the Sandral family. He claimed that it was in retaliation for the destruction of several Sandral droids that had wandered onto the Matale Grounds. Ahlan went to the Jedi enclave on Dantooine and demanded that the Jedi help mediate the dispute. The investigation revealed that Shen had, in fact, been at the Sandral Estate, but that he had fallen in love with Rahasia Sandral. Despite his misgivings, Ahlan realized that he couldn't control his son's life forever. He reluctantly agreed to a truce with Nurik Sandral, since their children were obviously in love. (KOTOR)

Matale, Shen
This young man, the son of Ahlan Matale, was kidnapped some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin.

An investigation by the Jedi Knights revealed that Shen had been a prisoner at the Sandral Estate, but not because of the incident with the droids. Nurik Sandral had discovered that his own daughter, Rahasia, was in love with Shen, and they had been secretly meeting together in spite of the family feud.

Bleyd had no intention of bowing to Black Sun, and arranged to have Mathal eliminated. Bleyd lured Mathal into a remote section of his MedStar frigate and challenged him to a fight, a fight that Mathal eagerly accepted. The mercenary never had a chance, as Bleyd quickly killed him in order to avoid anyone stumbling onto their battle. Bleyd then returned Mathal's body to his starship, and arranged to make it appear that the Black Sun agent had left the MedStar. Bleyd set Mathal's ship to fly over Separatist-controlled space, where it was promptly shot down and destroyed. However, the ruse didn't fool the Black Sun spy known as Kaird, who later confronted Bleyd.

Unfortunately for Coy, the Alliance had laid a trap for the Imperials. The ship which was intercepted by the Mathayus was a decoy, laden with explosives that were set to go off should the ship's hull be breached. First Officer Atali's team opened the ship up, setting off the explosives and badly damaging the Mathayus's hangar bay. The entire sidetrip had been arranged by Captain Dezsetes, as part of Grand Moff Trachta's plans to take over the galaxy. Vader, however, managed to survive the explosion. (SWI62, SWEB)

This man, a former member of the Imperial Senate, served as the Imperial Governor of the planet Stenos, during the height of the New Order. He struggled to keep the locals in line, while keeping an eye out for any rebellious activity. When Luke Skywalker found the lost statue of Vol, Rik Duel betrayed him and his Alliance team to Matrin. However, Matrin was unprepared for the actions of the native Stenaxes, who had been searching for Vol for generations. Matrin had paid Duel handsomely to recover the relic, but never expected Duel to shout that Matrin was defaming the god. In anger, the Stenaxes tore Matrin to shreds. (MC70, MC71)

Matrix Armor
This strong material was often used in the formation of starship hulls. It was stronger than durasteel, and could withstand blaster fire better than titanium. (TT, KOTOR2)

Matrix, The
This was the name given to the industrial-strength sound system created for the Glow Dome on Adarlon. Over 1,000 separate speakers provide the sound, which could be played from slugs, audio disks, or live performances. Much of The Matrix was coupled to the intricate and intoxicating light show created by Lytos Urtell, further enhancing the hypnotic quality of the SenseLights. (WSV)

Matshi
This large fish was one of the favored prey of the firaxa shark. (LF8)

Matta
This slave woman was a friend of Shmi Skywalker, and was owned by Dengula the Hutt in Mos Espa. Shmi and Matta often helped each other out, when one got sick and couldn't finish their quota of work. (E1A5)

Mattac
This outlaw tech grew up as a port brat on Nar Shaddaa, and eventually hired on as a technician with a local smuggler. When the smuggler was caught by an Imperial patrol, Mattac was imprisoned and sent away for incarceration. He managed to escape the brig and make his way to an escape pod, and he blasted away and landed on Genesia. He eventually established an illegal starship refitting operation in Brenn, where he was known for his excellent work and demanding business dealings. (HR)

Mattberry
A plant native to the Forest Moon of Endor, the mattberry produces a sweet berry that was used by the Ewoks to make juice. The juice can also be fermented into a somewhat bitter brew. (ISU)

Matter-Antimatter Reactor
This form of experimental power source harnessed the collision of matter and anti-matter particles to generate large amounts of energy. There were a number of concerns with this type of generator, including how to contain the anti-matter without annihilating the container, and how to effectively generate enough energy to create antimatter. (SWSB)

Matthews, Tev
This Alliance Colonel was involved with the Alliance almost from the beginning, serving with distinction during the liberation of Galleefryn II before opening up secret supply routes through the Corporate Sector. However, an information leak allowed data on these missions to reach the Empire, and was eventually captured. Just before capture, though, Tev managed to get his son, Ty, out of the Corporate Sector on a smuggling ship. Tev later died under interrogation. (TBSB)

Matthews, Ty
The son of Tev Matthews, Ty joined the Alliance at the young age of fifteen, eager to support the cause his father so deeply believed in. Ty was adopted by his father's old unit, after Tev was killed while under Imperial interrogation. Demonstrating a skill with circuit repair and an understanding of technology, Ty was eventually assigned as a computer technician aboard the Home One. He further distinguished himself while on the Mon Calamari crusier, and soon found himself on Admiral Ackbar's staff. He earned the rank of Lieutenant, and was later responsible for decrypting the contents of the Imperial message drone captured in the wake of the Battle of Endor. (TB, TBSB)

Matto
This mercenary was note for his proposal to arm an RM-2020 espionage droid for combat usage. (FTD)

Mattran, Falin
This seven-year-old boy was growing up on the planet Surcaris, more than fifty years before the onset of the Clone Wars, when his parents were killed. Falin had been born in Kuat City, on the planet Kuat, and have moved to Surcaris when his father had taken on a job with the Kuat Drive Yards engineering facility on the planet. In the tradition of the Mandalorians, Falin was adopted by Munin Skirata, who began to train Falin in the ways of the Mandalorians. Falin resented his lot in life, hating Skirata for his demanding nature but grateful for being rescued. They traveled to the planet Mes Cavoli, where they were forced into a battle with a team of mercenaries who were terrorizing the countryside. Falin was pushed to his physical limits during the fighting, and would have given up if he had not been urged on by Skirata. Falin came to hate his adoptive father, and vowed one day to kill the man. What he hated most was the fact that Skirata rarely called him by his true name. Instead, Skirata called him Kal, a reference to the Mandalorian word for knife, after Falin had initially tried to kill him with a three-sided knife. However, after spending time with Skirata, Falin evrentually got to know the man, and realized that Skirata was doing everything he could to keep Falin alive. When Skirata later explained that he had chosen the name Kal because there was no word in the Mandalorian language for "hero", Falin decided that he could worse than growing up with the Mandalorians, and decided to take on the name Kal Skirata. In the decades that followed, Skirata often drew upon the alias of Falin Mattran, whenever he needed to hide his true identity. (RC66)

Mattri Asteroid Field
This asteroid field was the site of one of Garm Bel Iblis' military bases, used during the height of the Galactic Civil War after the base on Womrik was abandoned. (DFR)

Matukai
This was an ancient philosophy of the Force, distinguished from that of the Jedi Knights and the Sith in its training methods and beliefs. Practitioners of the Matukai philosophy actually used their own bodies as the primary focal point of their abilities, rather than focusing on inanimate objects. The origins of the Matukai were found during the golden age of the Old Republic, in between the Great Sith War and the Light and Darkness War. The original practitioner was a woman from Karvoss II who discovered her sensitivity to the Force while performing meditative martial arts. She began teaching her skills to others, and the ranks of the Matukai expanded to some sixty invdividuals. By studying the Matukai teachings, even a being with minimal sensitivity to the Force could tap into in, using strenuous exercise and meditation to enhance their connection to the Force. The practitioners of the Matukai discipline spent their lives in search of a way to balance the mystical aspects of the Force with the physical aspects of their bodies.

The Jedi Order maintained a passing interest in the Matukai, but chose not to interfere because its followers were too old to be considered for Jedi training. The Jedi also ignored the Matukai because their numbers were never more than the original sixty or so practitioners. During the Jedi Purge, many Matukai were killed, but many also managed to hide themselves and survive. A handful of Matukai eventually presented themselves to Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 for training as Jedi Knights, after seeing that Master Skywalker's views on Jedi training were more open-minded than those of the former Jedi Order. Individual Matukai followers were distinguished by the unique tattoo that covered part of their forehead and surrounded the eyes. Like other groups of Force users who evolved separate from the Jedi Order, the Matukai did not wield lightsabers in combat. Instead, they carried a tall ploearm known as a wan-shen. (SWI68, HG, EGF)

Mature Republic History
This was the term originally used by Jedi Master Odan-Urr to describe the galaxy's documented history from its golden age until the time of the Great Sith War. Many modern historians have remarked that the two millennia that followed the Great Sith War marked the so-called Golden Age of the Republic, until the New Sith Wars began to take their toll on the galaxy. (GORW)

Matuuke ala giess
This was the name of a raw food, often served rolled up with a variety of vegetables and seasonings. It was not considered very tasty by most humanoid races, and eating it was described as consuming live kouhuns. Matuuke ala giess was often eaten with a drink of deuterium-pyro, to chase away the taste. (SWI65)

Matza
This city was located on the southwestern coast of the Encheeko continent, on the planet Rodia. (SPG)

Maugesh
This species of tree grew in the swamps of the planet Gelgelar. (SWJ14)

Maugina
This small, white dwarf star was the companion to Desev, although it occupied the fourth orbital position from the star in the Desev System of the Outer Rim Territories. (GORW)

Mauit'ta
This New Republic Navy Colonel was one of Etahn A'baht's staff intelligence officers aboard the Intrepid, during the Black Fleet Crisis. (TT)

Mauja
This human race, collectively known as the Maujasi, was native to the planet Haurgab. (RC66)

Maujas Desert
This desert was located between the cities of Hadde and Rishun, on the planet Haurgab. This desert was named for the Mauja clans that inhabited its dry wastelands. (RC66)

Maujasi
This was the term used to describe the various Mauja clans that lived in the deserts of the planet Haurgab. (RC66)

Maul, Darth
This Sith Dark Lord was a member of the Zabrak species, and was the apprentice of Darth Sidious, the mysterious force behind the Trade Federation's blockade of Naboo. Sidious explained to Maul that he found him as a baby on the planet Iridonia, and took him in when his parents disappeared. Note that other sources describe him as an Iridonian. Over the years, Sidious discovered that Maul's inner self was full of anger and fury, and trained the youth in the ways of the Sith. Sidious used sensory deprivation and other unusual punishments to harden Maul's anger into a solid core that grew stronger when it touched the Dark Side of the Force. Whenever Maul failed to remain alert, or showed any kind of mercy, Darth Sidious punished him severely. When Darth Maul finally achieved full immersion in the Dark Side of the Force, Darth Sidious applied the tattoos that marked him as a Sith. Sidious also instilled in his apprentice a deep hatred of the Jedi Knights, turning Maul into a weapon that could be used to destroy the Jedi.

Maul later constructed his own two-bladed lightsaber, much like Exar Kun did some 3,950 years earlier, although Maul's lightsaber was actually two lightsabers fused together. Each had its own separate components, allowing him to use a single blade if the weapon became damaged. Darth Maul was obvious by his heavily tattooed, horn-studded face, piercing yellow eyes, and rotting teeth. In his first true mission without his Master's help, Darth Maul was sent to Dorvalla to destroy both Lommite Limited and InterGalactic Ores, in an effort to obtain access to the lommite mines for the Trade Federation. After Hath Monchar fled the Federation in an effort to sell information on the Federation's plans to blockade Naboo, Maul tracked the Neimoidian down and executed him, cutting off any chance of the information reaching the Senate.

When Chancellor Finis Valorum dispatched two Jedi - Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi - to negotiate a settlement to the blockade of Naboo, Sidious had to alter his plans. When the Jedi fled with Queen Amidala to Tatooine, he ordered Darth Maul followed at a safe distance. Note that The New Essential Chronology indicates that Darth Sidious sent Darth Maul to Tatooine to prevent the Jedi from locating Anakin Skywalker. On Tatooine, Maul nearly defeated Qui-Gon, but was unable to control him before they fled for Coruscant. Not to be outdone, Sidious then sent Maul to capture them on Naboo. There, while Queen Amidala's forces attempted to capture Nute Gunray, Darth Maul confronted both Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon in the Theed palace's power generation station. In a fierce battle, the three swordsman battled to a draw before they were separated by the station's laser defense systems.

When the defenses dropped, Maul and Qui-Gon were left alone to battle, and the Sith Lord defeated the Jedi with a quick jab of his blade. However, his victory was short-lived. When Obi-Wan was able to escape the laser system, he attacked with a renewed sense of purpose. His exuberence nearly cost him his life, when Darth Maul forced the young Jedi over the edge of a power shaft. Obi-Wan recovered and, using the Force to recover Qui-Gon's lightsaber, caught Maul off-guard. The Jedi sliced his lightsaber through Maul's midsection. The fatally injured Sith Lord toppled into the shaft and was lost forever.

A reconstructed Darth Maul, with his torso fitted to a pair of mechanized legs, tried to eliminate a 3-year-old Luke Skywalker on Tatooine, in one of the tales told in Star Wars: Visionaries. (E1, E1N, IG1, JDM, SWK, DMS, DMSH, OWS, NECH, EGF)

Mauler
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer was part of the security force protecting Kuat Drive Yards during the early years of the New Republic. It took a heavy pounding from the Iron Fist, during Zsinj's attempt to steal the Razor's Kiss. (IF)

Mauler
This was the name given to a particularly vicious subspecies of veermok, native to the planet Naboo. (SWG2P)

Maulers
This gang of small-time thugs caused all sorts of problems on their homeworld of Naboo during the Galactic Civil War. The name of this band stemmed from their almost reverent following of the teachings of the minor Sith Lord, Darth Maul, who believed in the simple tenet that might made right. Interestingly, the Maulers used a former philosophers' retreat as their base of operations, from which they planned their criminal activities. (GQRG)

Maungur
This creature, native to the polar regions of the planet Rishi, held a place in the mythology and legends of the planet. According to legend, the maungur was "conflict incarnate," not necessarily evil but representing the chaos that must be confronted by living beings. The name maungur meant "a spirit of violent, senseless conflict that cannot be reasoned with" in the language of the Rishii. Although no xenobiologist has ever reported seeing a living maungur, the Rishii had developed an image of the creature through their legends.

Standing up to three meters in height, the maungur resembled a shambling, four-legged beast with flexible, tentacle-like limbs known as kithaji. These limbs ended with a single claw, and a single swipe from one "limb-tail" was said to be powerful enough to eviscerate an individual. According to stories gathered from the Rishii, the average maungur was covered with brown or black skin, with tufts of red hair on each of their limbs and a set of black spikes running down their backs.

The maungur's sharp snout ended in a hooked beak, which was used to eviscerate any prey that could be brought close to the mouth. Although a maungur would hunt just about anything for food, it preferred to hunt the khi'r that lived in the valleys of Rishi.

Also known as the Spirit of Rishi, the maungur held an honored place in Rishii religion, even though a maungur had no problem hunting and consuming a wayward Rishii. Such attacks usually occurred in the warm season of Rishi, when maungurs migrate into the mountains where the Rishii made their homes. However, attacking or killing a maungur was considered a sin, so those Rishii nearest the valleys often went out of their way to avoid a roaming maungur.

Settlers from other worlds reported strange attacks during the night, especially those settlers living near the planet's valleys, and many Rishii attributed the attacks to maungurs who were defending their territory. However, because no physical evidence of a maungur was ever found, most xenobiologists believed that the maungur was a figment of the Rishii imagination. (SWJ4, OWS)

Maur, Dovin
This old man claimed to have survived the birth of the New Order and the destruction of the Jedi Knights at the hands of Emperor Palpatine. He held the Jedi in reverence, and after settling on Lazerian IV, Maur kept secret the location of the Jedi ruins on the continent of Laz. (TSK)

Mauvine Nullifier
This was a key component of many starship hyperdrives, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (OF)

Mav
When translated into Basic, this Mando'a word meant "free." (OWS)

Mavin
This young male was a member of the Five. He killed Vor Childermoss and Leelu after they taunted Suzal and the Five. He used the Black Fireclaw to kill them. Mavin was killed by Wuzzek when Chewbacca freed the creatures from the Menagerie. (CSWDW)

Mavinian Cluster-wedding Organ
This unusual, musical instrument was considered edgy for its time, during the height of the Clone Wars. (TCD)

Mavis
This young girl was the daughter of an Alliance crewman who served aboard the Republic's Return. She and her brother, Tarn, often nagged Deen Voorson for stories, during the long stretches of time between stops. (SWJ11, OWS)

Mavrille Street
This thoroughfare was located in the city of Calius saj Leeloo, on the plante Berchest. It was here that Luke Skywalker and Talon Kaarde started to track the possible sources of the clones being produced by Grand Admiral Thrawn. (TLC)

Mavron
This Imperial Lieutenant served under Admiral Pellaeon aboard the Chimaera, after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Mavron was sent to chase down any possible leads as to the origin of the pirate attack on the Chimaera shortly after the Caamas Incident. He was able to trace the pirates - under the command of Zothip - back to the source of their orders, on Bastion. He also discovered the meeting Moff Disra had with Bosmihi on Kroctar, and discovered that Grand Admiral Thrawn was behind the negotiations. (VOF)

Mavron, Osira
This woman was a minor Imperial Army soldier, but was regularly recognized for her bravery in the face of battle. During the pacification of Praadost II, she fought against a group of dedicated Alliance forces who seemed to be possessed. When she entered their location and tried to root them out, she discovered that the Alliance soldiers were trying to protect a refugee camp hidden in an underground cave. Osira saw that the Imperial forces were expending huge amounts of ammunition and killing a large number of beings in order to wipe out a group of pitiful refugees. She immediately decided to defect from the Empire, no longer believing that strength and force were the correct tools for governing the galaxy. Once she was accepted by the Alliance, she spent her career teaching commandos about guerrilla warfare and Imperial tactics. (HR)

Mavvan
This was a type of Kobok warrior. (GORW)

Mavvan Conflict
This series of battles occurred about ten years before the Battle of Yavin. The Kobok race emerged victorious from the struggle, in which the Corporate Sector Authority tried to take control of the planet Koboth. (GORW)

Maw
This huge Boltrunian was one of the Dark Jedi who worked with Jerec. A former Jedi Knight who refused to take a Padawan, Maw became one of the Jedi Shadows, where his innate tracking skills were perfectly suited for the role. Maw one of the few Jedi who survived the Clone Wars and the devastating Jedi Purge, but he was hunted down by Jerec and twisted to the Dark Side of the Force. Maw was incredibly massive, loyal to no one but himself, and he had a flagrant disregard for human life. Although large and muscular, Maw was also quite fast in battle. When Jerec interrogated Qu Rahn about the location of the Valley of the Jedi, Maw was injured during Rahn's brief defense. The injuries required that Maw's legs be amputated and replaced with a small repulsorchair. He quickly adjusted to life in the chair, and used it to his advantage when battling an enemy. However, Maw's strength with the Dark Side of the Force gave him the ability to use the Force as a propulsion mechanism, conquering the ability to "fly" freely for many minutes. When injured, Maw would go into a berserker rage, spinning wildly in his chair while swinging his lightsaber in the Trispzest form of combat. For all his power, though, Maw was defeated in combat by Kyle Katarn during the search for the Valley of the Jedi. (DF2, WOTC)

Maw, Coar
This bounty hunter was hired by Raik Muun to eliminate the freelance agents who nearly thwarted her attempt to breed a t'salak, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Maw's race was unknown, as he often covered his face with heavy bandages and wrappings. His mode of operation was somewhat different than that of most bounty hunters. Rather than sneaking up on his target, Maw often ambushed them in a street or alleyway by playing a recording that made it sound like someone was being attacked. When the target went to investigate, Maw came riding up on his swoop and attacked them. He often used stun grenades when the target needed to be taken alive. Despite his methods, Maw was known to have never betrayed an employer, even when captured by law enforcement agents and interrogated. The reason for his concealment was discovered during a police interrogation, when it was learned that Maw had a debilitating skin condition. He took up bounty hunting to help find and pay for a cure. (FOC3)

Maw Casino
This was one of the many casinos that were located aboard the Errant Venture, during the years following the Swarm War. The décor of the casino was in keeping with its namesake, as the walls were painted black to swallow up light like a black hole. The tables had silver surfaces with curves glowrods along the outer edges, and there was no overhead lighting. Instead, servers wore clothing and jewelry that glowed in the dark, making the entire casino a scene from the Maw itself.

This décor made the Maw Casino a perfect place to meet in relative secrecy. (LF4)

Maw Cluster
see Maw, The (GORW)

Maw Colony
This was the term used to describe the secret installation that was built by Natasi Daala, after the destruction of the Maw Installation and her initial defeat by the military forces of the New Republic. Daala retreated to the Maw cluster of black holes to lick her wounds and re-establish her military power. It was here that Daala amassed the so-called Maw Irregular Fleet, before she rejoined the Imperial Remnant. Daala also trained a group of intelligence agents, many of whom were Force-sensitive, to gather data about the state of the galaxy, in an attempt to understand the rest of the galaxy and determine when the time would be right to make her presence known once again. In the wake of the Second Galactic Civil War and the destruction of Centerpoint Station, many of the intelligence agents who had been scattered across the galaxy began to feel strong sensations of longing, and were driven to return to the Maw Colony. Daala refused to allow them to abandon their posts, causing many agents to believe that the war had been started to expose their positions and their own desires. These agents did whatever was necessary - stealing starships, stowing away on various ships - to return to the Maw, where they found Sinkhole Station and discovered the existence of the Mind Walkers. (FJ3)

Maw Installation
This Imperial base was established on the far side of the deep-space anomaly known as The Maw, near the Kessel system. It was created by Grand Moff Tarkin, who conceived of the facility as a think-tank that was solely dedicated to the creation of new, powerful weapons. In order to construct the facility without attracting the attention of Emperor Palpatine, Grand Moff Tarkin intercepted the memos detailing the discovery of the Maw, quietly removing the exploration team and hiding all records from their travels. He then began working on blueprints and staffing assignments, choosing scientists and engineers with no family ties to work in solitude.

Constructed without the Emperor's knowledge, the Maw Installation was operated by more than 180,000 soldiers, officers, engineers, scientists, and support staff, in addition to a large population of Wookiee slaves. It was formed from a conglomeration of asteroids and Imperial construction modules that were connected by a complex network of tubeways and support beams, with individual sectors housing laboratories, factories, and meeting halls. It was guarded by four Star Destroyers that had been placed under the command of Tarkin's lover, Admiral Daala, who was ordered to protect the scientists and the installation at all costs. It was believed that the scientists at The Maw created the initial plans for the Death Star and the World Devastator, although records uncovered from the years prior to the Clone Wars revealed that the Maw Installation was involved only in the construction of a Death Star prototype. The Maw Installation was perhaps best-known as the development facility for the Sun Crusher.

The station might have remained hidden forever, as Daala had no communication with the outside galaxy, and had no knowledge of Tarkin's death at the Battle of Yavin or the Emperor's defeat at the Battle of Endor. Thus, when Han Solo and Chewbacca accidentally discovered the existence of the Maw seven years after the fall of the Empire, Daala was completely unprepared for the news. She took her fleet out of the Maw in an attempt to attack the New Republic, leaving the Maw Installation completely undefended. Han and Kyp Durron managed to escape in the Sun Crusher with the help of Qwi Xux, and they returned to Coruscant to warn the Republic of the existence of the Maw Installation. The New Republic tried to capture the facility, but Daala returned and destroyed it, rather than let it fall into Rebel hands. Many years later, the abandoned remains of the Maw were cobbled together by Han Solo and a team of engineers, so that the Maw could be used to hide Jedi students during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy.

This new space station became known as Shelter, and it was here that many wounded Jedi recovered from their injuries. When Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, set out for the Unknown Regions in search of Zonama Sekot, they left their infant son Ben at the Maw Installation, under the care of Kam Solusar and Tionne. Note that Legacy of the Force: Revelation indicates that Daala might have returned to the Maw Installation in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong War, as her military force was known as the Maw Irregular Fleet, and she was still using technologies that had been hidden or developed at the Maw Installation. (JS, JASB, EL1, UF, LF8)

Maw Irregular Fleet
This was the name chosen by Admiral Daala to describe the fleet of aging and outdated warships she amassed during her years of isolation behind The Maw, after she fled with the Scylla in the wake of the Black Fleet Crisis. She brought the Maw Irregular Fleet our of hiding at the request of Gilad Pellaeon, who had been tapped by the Moff Council to assist the forces of the Galactic Alliance in capturing the planet Fondor, some ten years after the Yuuzhan Vong War. The fleet was made up of ships from the last several decades, including Venator-, Victory-, and Republic-class Star Destroyers, Crusader-class cruisers, and Assassin-class corvettes. Starfighters from various eras were maintained in the hangars of the larger vessels, providing Daala with a capable fleet of warships that gave her an element of surprise. The flagship of the fleet was the revered Star Destroyer Chimaera, which had once been commanded by Pellaeon himself. As a further surprise for enemy forces, Daala had installed metal-crystal phase shifting technology on the Chimaera and other ships, allowing them to render an enemy starship's hull vulnerable to attack. (LF8)

Maw Luur
This immense creature was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong as a waste disposal system. A single maw luur could be placed aboard a worldship, where its vast capillary network absorbed waste materials and digested it, creating metals, nutrients, and air. The maw luur was often fitted into the living exoskeleton of the ship, providing life-sustaining nutrients to all parts of the ship. Many beings who encountered one of these creatures described it as a mating of a Sarlacc and atrash compactor. (EVC, EVR, UF)

Maw Shipyards
This was one of the three primary starship construction facilities that made up the Kuat Drive Yards. Like its companions, the Maw Shipyards was located in a ring of facilities that orbited the planet Kuat. (CCW)

Maw, The
This collection of black holes, spanning more than a billion kilometers across its widest point, was located near the planet Kessel. Because of the intense gravity in the area, the Maw was slowly drawing the entire Kessel system into the black holes. Its existence was one of the galaxy's strangest mysteries, since it seemed improbable that a group of black holes could exist in such close proximity. The greatest minds in the galaxy argued about its conception, with a handful of scientists claiming it simply an unusual formation that had to occur at least once in the natural order of space. Another group claimed that the Maw had been constructed by a vastly ancient and powerful civilization known as the Architects, while other said that it was a gateway device created by some lost, ancient civilization. It was later discovered that the Maw had, in fact, been built by an ancient race. This race was known as the Celestials by the Colony, and the Architects to others, but the exact reasons for the construction of the Maw were never learned. Other histories pointed to the possibility that the Killiks created the Maw, although others believed that the Killiks had simply absorbed the memory of its construction after acquiring Joiners from the Celestials. Scientists working for the Empire, specifically those chosen by Grand Moff Tarkin, discovered a small collection of torturously complex pathways through the Maw, allowing them to establish the Maw Installation on the far side of the anomaly and away from prying eyes. (JS, COTF, PH, DN1, DN3, NECH, FJ3)

Mawaar, Hrym
This male Skakoan was one of the bounty hunters who were hired by Chief of State Natasi Daala to serve as a kind of protective defense force, during the years following the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Mawaar was well-known in the bounty hunting field, having plied the trade on two separate occasions. In between decades of chasing bounties, Mawaar returned to his homeworld of Skako to serve as a law enforcement officer, earning the position during normal election processes. (FJ1)

Mawan
This planet was torn apart by a civil war, known to the natives as the Great Purge, some three years before the Battle of Naboo. The capital city was utterly destroyed, and the government it housed was smashed. The survivors fled into the country, but without a central form of government the planet descended into lawlessness. It became a haven for criminals, and the Galactic Senate ignored the plight of the planet in the face of the rising opposition of the Separatists. When attention could be diverted from its other duties, the Senate finally asked the Jedi Knights to send a team to Mawan to help bring the criminal elements under control and form a central government. Yaddle, assisted by Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, were sent to the planet about three years before the Battle of Geonosis. (JQ6)

Mawan
This race af pale, pink-skinned humanoids was native to the planet Mawan. Each Mawan had two hearts and shimmering, gray eyes. They blood vessels lay close to their skin, and it was considered a mark of beauty to have a fine tracery of blue veins contrasting the delicate pink color of their skin. (JQ6)

Mawat
This youth, a native of the planet Melida/Daan, was the leader of the Scavenger Young. He was instrumental in digging a tunnel to the spaceport in Zehava, during the struggle between The Young and their elders of the Daan and Melida. He later became one of Nield's chief lieutenants, although it was later revealed that it was Mawat, acting in an effort to cause a confrontation, who supplied arms to both The Young and the elders of the Daan and Melida shortly before Cerasi's death. Mawat wanted to rule Zehava for himself, and believed Nield was weakening under the stress of leadership. Mawat went so far as to place snipers in the buildings surrounding the Hall of Evidence on Glory Street, where Wehutti and Nield confronted each other, in case either backed down. It was one of Mawat's snipers who killed Cerasi and started the firefight. Mawat tried to rally his forces and defeat Nield, but Qiu-Gon Jinn displayed a hologram of Cerasi, recorded shortly before her death, in which she pleaded for peace. Mawat, who had secretly loved Cerasi, threw down his arms and surrendered. (UP)

Mawber, Ref
This Imperial Security Bureau agent worked for Moff Bandor, and was at the head of a network of spies which infiltrated the various criminal organizations on the planet Questal. He was friends with - and worked with - Mar Barezz, during the capture of Alliance agent Tiree. (GCQ)

Mawbo's Performance Hall
This large dance hall was located on the planet Tatooine during the early years of the New Republic. Owned by Mawbo Kem, this building contained a large convention center as well as the main concert hall. It was here that the Killik Twilight was to be auctioned off to the highest bidder, some three years after the Battle of Endor. A large portion of the building was damaged when Imperail troops opened fire on the bidders, in an effort to prevent the moss-painting from falling into non-Imperial hands. (TG)

Mawgax
This species of herd beast was native to the moon of Yavin 4, and was believed to have descended from bio-engineered stock. (GQRG)

Mawhonic
A native of the planet Hok, this Gran was one of Tatooine's best pod racers, although he invariably lost races to Sebulba. During the Boonta Eve Classic which was eventually won by young Anakin Skywalker, Mawhonic's green GPE-3130 pod was disabled when the Gran swerved to avoid Sebulba, but crashed into a massive rock formation and exploded. The Gran was believed to have died in the crash, but survived and eventually returned to the podracing circuit. (E1, E1N, IG1, ETM)

Mawin
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 Mawin referred to a dancer or actress. A more archaic form indicated a woman who wore costumes. (GCG)

Mawin

Mawkran
This Mantellian savrip was the leader of a a clan which tried to oppose Taxer Sundown, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Mawkran and his group were part of a once-strong clan that had been decimated by attacks from the villagers. They villagers had been incited by Sundown to kill the savrips, after he blamed his own murders on the savrips. Mawkran rescued Nella Bold after she was captured by Sundown's goons, and tried to attack Qui-Gon Jinn when he tried to locate Nella. Mawkran revealed that the two savrips which killed Baron Sando of Vena had been captured and enslaved by Sundown for his own goals. Mawkran was mistakenly killed by the villagers who later tried to rescue Nella, believing Sundown's claims that the savrips were the cause of all their problems. (LSOM)

Mawrunner
This frigate was part of the Galactic Alliance's Second Fleet, during the war against The Confederation. The Mawrunner was among the many ships that escorted Jacen Solo and the Anakin Solo to a deep-space rendezvous with Corellian delegates, a mission that was supposed to involve Corellia's return to the Galactic Alliance. The rendezvous turned out to be a trap that had been laid by Sadras Koyan. He planned to fire the Centerpoint Station repulsor at the rendezvous location, in an effort to destroy the Anakin Solo and assassinate Jacen Solo. The blast failed to hit the Star Destroyer, but eliminated a large portion of the Second Fleet ships, including the Mawrunner. (LF7)

Ma'w'shiye
This M'shento'su'Nikto assassin served as an undercover agent for the Alliance, when he was a sharpshooter for the Eclipse Team's Twilight Squadron. He was a well-muscled being, and was distinguished by the fact that many of his facial horns had been scraped off in a speederbike accident on Miglar 2. Lieutenant Ma'w'shiye spent a great deal of time on Karideph with Akul Witig, a fellow graduate of the Galactic Outdoor Survival School. He also helped defend Dnalvec against Imperial invasion, and was instrumental in the defense of Corint City during the Empire's attack on Pirik. For his efforts, Lieutenant Ma'w'shiye was awarded the Trand Medallion as well as the Platinum Valor Cross

However, shortly before the Battle of Endor, Ma'w'shiye deserted his squadron during a mission on Sanjin, turning eleven comrades over to Imperial firing squads. He continued to harass, and even kill, Alliance agents, and was one of the New Republic's most wanted figures. The government of the New Republic offered a 70,000-credit reward for Ma'w'shiye's capture. (AIR, SWJ4, GG12, OWS)

Max Rebo Band
Originally known as Evar Orbus and His Galactic Wailers, the Max Rebo Band was formed after Orbus was killed in a firefight with Figrin D'An and the Modal Nodes. Formed from the trio of jizz-wailers who survived Orbus, the Max Rebo Band consisted of Max Rebo on keyboards, Droopy McCool on various wind instruments, and Sy Snootles as lead vocalist. They were were also Mistress Valarian's favorite band, just before the Battle of Yavin. The Devish Labria convinced her that Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes were better, as part of a plot to get the Nodes to play at the Mos Eisley cantina. This left Jabba the Hutt in a lurch, since he had just hired the Nodes himself, so Jabba ended up hiring the Max Rebo Band. The deal was sealed when Jabba offered Max Rebo a lifetime supply of food as payment, although Max's other bandmates were angry that he had let his stomach speak for them all. The rival bands got into a blaster fight when Fiery Figrin wanted to eliminate the competition, but neither band prevailed. Instead, the Modals Nodes remained at the Mos Eisley Cantina while Jabba took in the Max Rebo Band. By the time the band was hired by Jabba, though, they had added six additional players and a trio of dancing backup singers. Three of these new musicians, however, were actually spies within Jabba's organization, inserted into the band to ensure they weren't going to be a threat to the crimelord's existence. At this point, the band was known as the Max Rebo Twelve. In the aftermath of Jabba's death near the Pit of Carkoon, the band dissolved and its members went their separate ways. Only Max Rebo and Sy Snootles remained together, playing briefly as the Max Rebo Duo before Greeata and Rystall rejoined them. They again adopted the Max Rebo Band as their name, although Sy Snootles eventually went solo. (E6, TME, RJSE, SWDB, SWI67)

Max Rebo Duo
This was the name adopted by Max Rebo and Sy Snootles, after they survived the death of Jabba the Hutt. Of the twelve members who played for Jabba, only Max and Sy decided to remain together when the band broke up, and they played a few engagements for Lady Valarian. Shortly afterward, Greeata and Rystall rejoined them, and they once again went by the Max Rebo Band. (SWI67)

Maxus
This red-skinned Devaronian male was a podracing partner of Kidd Kareen, during the early months of the Clone Wars. When Kareen's pit crew found a member of another crew in the pit stall, they tried to apprehend him. The man, who was actually Anakin Skywalker, claimed that he was Ahsoka's pit crew, and that he was only looking around to make sure that Kidd Kareen wasn't cheating. Kareen let him go, claiming that any fighting would be done on the racecourse against Skywalker's pilot, Ahsoka Tano. Maxus, however, did not share Kareen's view of the situation, and vowed to make Tano pay in the Mon Gazza Maze. Maxus was even more surprised when, after Ahsoka crashed in a preliminary heat but still managed to qualify for the finals, Kidd Kareen agreed to loan her one of his racers. Kareen explained that it would be better to keep her on the racecourse, so that they could keep an eye on what her and her pit crew. Maxus once again accepted Kareen's plans, but he decided that it was time to take matters into his own hands. He made a quick trip to a noisy Miner Town cantina that was owned by Sebulba, unaware that he was being followed by Skywalker. Once inside the cantina, Maxus made contact with his real employer, Count Dooku, and explained that he had acquired a data disk from Messo, but that things had gotten strange with the appearance of Ahsoka Tano and her pit crew. Dooku knew him only as Agent Sixteen, but agreed to send an agent to recover the data before anything could happen to it. Dooku also explained that security had to be imcreased, because the Jedi Knights had somehow managed to crack several Separatist codes. After breaking off his conversation with Dooku, Maxus acted on a hunch and searched the HoloNet for information on the Jedi Knights. His search led to the discovery that Tano and Skywalker were actually Jedi Knights, and he confronted Kidd Kareen with this information. When Kareen tried to plead his innocence, Maxus blackmailed him into going along with his plans, claiming that Kareen would be sent to prison if he didn't cooperate. Maxus then planned to eliminate the Jedi during the finals race at the Mon Gazza Maze, with a group of thugs taking on Anakin while Maxus and Kidd Kareen drove Ahsoka into the Skeleton Straits. Kareen chose to help Ahsoka, forcing Maxus to confront two opponents while trying to deliver the data disk. Compounding his problems were the sudden arrivals of Asajj Ventress, who had arrived on Mon Gazza to claim the disk, and Skywalker, who used the Force to crush the disk before Ventress could secure it. In her anger, Ventress used her lightsaber to cut off one of Maxus' engines, and Maxus was killed when his podracer careened out of control and crashed. (CWCC)

Phoggus maintained a vast network of contacts in and around Nexus City, pulling strings and spending credits to keep his supply lines open. His actions eventually drew the attention of corporate officers and law enforcement agents, but no formal charges were even leveled against him. (SWJ4, OWS)

May, Thalia

Maya
This woman, a native of the planet Alderaan, was a member of Alderaanian Security during the early years of the New Order. She was intercepted by a group of freelance agents on Sel Zonn Station after she barely escaped with information on Switch and the contents of Deep Storage Bay V14. Although she was badly injured, the agents helped her get to safety, where she relayed information on her mission. She had been tracking the shipment that was supposedly in V14 when a group of Imperial agents ambushed her. (DD01)

Maya Kovel
This windswept planet, located in the Moddell Sector of the Outer Rim Territories, was the homeworld of the Ayrou race. The atmosphere of the planet was quite thin, and was considered acrid to the taste and smell. It was regularly scoured by intense windstorms, leaving the iron-rich soil and rock exposed to the air. This gave the planet a reddish cast when viewed from space. Where the rock had cracked into chains of rift valleys, a strange lichen took root. Green in color, this lichen would erupt from its seedcase when out of the wind and near water. These seedcases could remain vaiable for centuries until the correct conditions could be met.

When the Empire arrived to take control of Garos IV, Dair and Jos were exploring the caves of Mount Usca when they came upon an Imperial patrol. The scout troopers attacked, believing them to be members of the rebel underground. Jos was shot and killed before Dair could react, but Dair managed to kill both troopers. Jos' death was the event which made Dair switch his alliance from the Empire to the underground rebels. (SWJ5)

Maydh
This young Ferroan was part of the group that discovered the still-living body of the Yuuzhan Vong priest Harrar, shortly after Nom Anor tried to kill the priest before he sabotaged Zonama Sekot.

Her daughter, Todra, grew up and eventually joined the Alliance. (SWI75)

Mayn, Todra
This woman, a native of the planet Commenor, served as the leader of the New Republic's Polearm Squadron during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. She was the daughter of Lela Mayn.

Mazara
This female Falleen was the leader of a small rebel movement that sprang up during the years just prior to the Clone Wars, when a manufacturing boom swept the planet. Mazara protested the working and living conditions which resulted from the overdevelopment in Falleen's capital city, arguing that the corporate leaders kept credits and secrets from the masses. She was not a protester by nature, having been trained as a journalist. However, an article she wrote on the Blackwater Systems facility got her into trouble with her editors, who fired her rather than support her work. She took up the cause of the common Falleen, staging small rallies in an attempt to force the workers to see the truth. When Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker arrived on Falleen during their search for Granta Omega, Mazara was able to provide them with information on getting inside the Blackwater Systems facility. (JQ9)

Mazariyan Citadel
This immense fortress, located in the jungles of the planet Xagobah, was actually a living edifice created from a huge fungus. Distinguished by its black color and organic architecture, the Mazariyan fortress resembled the ancient, stepped temples found on Yavin 4. It was unique from these structures, however, in that it was actually alive. Energy arced from the fortress' exterior, appearing as if lightning was running around it. Thick, retractable spines grew along its lower levels, making it nearly impossible to scale, as these spines could shoot outward to impale intruders. Mazariyan survived by feeding on anything it could draw into its walls, including raw energy whenever necessary. The citadel was usurped by Wat Tambor during the height of the Clone Wars. Tambor had been searching for a place where he could hide from the fighting, and believed that the Mazariyan was remote enough to protect him. To ensure his survival, Tambor altered the genetics of many of Xagobah's plants and fungus, turning them into vicious killers. Unfortunately, nearly three years into the fighting, the Army of the Republic laid siege to the fortress, in an effort to capture Tambor as a war criminal. Tambor managed to escape, however, because his own Techno Union forces had been augmented by General Grievous. The Republic bombarded the citadel, tearing huge chunks of living material from its walls until it was abandoned by the Separatists. (BF5, BF6)

Maze
This ARC Trooper was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic's Special Operations Brigade, and was stationed on Coruscant about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. Originally designated A-26, Maze and the Null-class ARC Trooper Ordo developed something of a personal rivalry during Kal Skirata's black-ops mission to smash a Separatist-funded terrorist ring on Coruscant, as Ordo was placed in charge of a mission that took place on Maze's home turf. Although they worked together during the mission, Maze took advantage of a performance of Dha Werda Verda to blatantly punch Ordo twice in the face. Ordo merely shrugged off the blows, refusing to rise to Maze's bait. In the months that followed, Captain Maze was assigned to serve as the chief aide to Jedi General Arligan Zey, during Zey's mission to locate the Kaminoan scientist Ko Sai. Their relationship was purely military for many months, until Zey learned from Kal Skirata that the government had no plans to provide a way of life for the clones after the war was over. In private, Zey offered Maze the opportunity to take on an alternative career, if he ever wanted it. Zey agreed to help him disappear into the galaxy and find his own way, if Maze ever wanted to leave his service to the GAR on his own terms. Maze politely refused, but spent much of his off-duty time reading holobooks and searching the HoloNet for information on the galactic situation. Although he found nothing to like about the Jedi Order, Maze continued to live by Jango Fett's primary directive of serving the Republic. This did not mean that Maze agreed with everything Chancellor Palpatine said or did, but he followed orders as required. Maze was again offered a chance to leave military service in the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, this time by Ordo, although he again refused. Maze remained loyal to the Galactic Republic, and when the command was issued to carry out Order 66, he was forced to confront General Zey. Zey tried to explain that Chancellor Palpatine was not an ordinary leader, but was actually a Sith Lord who was taking control of the galaxy. Maze knew nothing of the Sith, and simply demanded that Zey submit to the orders for his arrest. Zey refused to be taken into custody by Palpatine, and ordered Maze to shoot him instead. Maze obeyed this final order, taking Zey's life with a single blaster bolt. (RCTZ, RCTC, RC66)

Maze, The
This was a slang term, used by trainees who were part of the Alliance's starfighter pilot training programs, to describe the proving grounds in which they had to fly their starfighters. Although there were training programs that were simulated, The Maze was usually an actual course that was laid out in the space above a planet or near a space station. Each pilot trainee had to manuever their fighter through a series of obstacles and challenges, while continually monitoring and adjusting their onboard systems for maximum efficiency. (XWP)

Mazi
This youth was a street criminal working in the capital city of Leilani, on the planet Delaya, during the months following the Battle of Yavin. A native of Alderaan, Mazi tried to steal credits from Leia Organa and Han Solo, not knowing who they were, when they arrived on the planet to meet with rebel leaders. Mazi, the leader of his small band of street thieves, had promised Fess Ilee that they would not steal anymore, but claimed that Leia and Han had presented too good an opportunity. However, Mazi and his band backed down from their attempt when Fess Ilee intervened. Several days later, when Leia Organa appealed to the Alderaanian refugees to send a capsule filled with mementos into the so-called Graveyard of Alderaan, Han Solo sought out Mazi and his gang and offered them a chance to contribute. Mazi then explained that he and his brothers, Jez and Lan, 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. After Princess Leia was captured by agents working for Halle Dray and Kiro Chen, Mazi revealed to Solo that he knew where Kiro and Halle held their secret meetings. Mazi agreed to show them the location of the abandoned schoolhouse where they met. Once Leia was freed and the Delayan plot to turn her over to the Empire was discovered, Mazi and his brothers decided to join the Alliance as soldiers. (RF2)

Mazie
This young Twi'leki female had been living on Tatooine with her family when they were captured and enslaved by Krayn, and forced to work in Krayn's spice processing facility on Nar Shaddaa. Ironically, her family had fled Ryloth in order to escape being caught in a slave raid. Mazie's husband was killed in the slave raid on Tatooine, leaving Mazie alone with her daughter. About four years after the Battle of Naboo, Mazie met Anakin Skywalker in the mines, after the young Padawan was also captured by Krayn. Anakin and Mazie worked together as friends, after both distrusted one another at the start. Mazie later revealed to Anakin that her daughter, Berri, was a domestic worked in Krayn's household, a position she obtained because Krayn favored her beauty. Mazie agreed to help Anakin insititute a slave revolt by making contact with a core group of rebels. Anakin's initial destruction of a group of guard droids emboldened the slaves, and the revolt grew swiftly. In the ensuing slave struggle, and with the death of Krayn, Mazie and Berri were freed. (JQ)

Maziel
This was a common name among the Falleen. (UANT)

Mazong Yiwa
This Highborn Ansionian was the leader of the Yiwa clan, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luminara Unduli, along with their Padawans Anakin Skywalker and Barris Offee, traveled to Ansion to negotiate a treaty between the city-dwellers and the Alwari nomads, Mazong agreed to help them by providing directions to the current location of the Borokii overclan's encampment, but only after the Jedi provided the Yiwa with entertainment. While he directions were fairly detailed, Mazong indicated that the Borokii, like all other Alwari clans, was nomadic and might not be in the place he believed. (APS)

It was here that Han Solo and Lando Calrissian stopped to celebrate their capture of the Millennium Falcon prototype from Tharkos and Moff Tarkin. The Alliance base on Mazuma provided them with a reward. This was an early description of how Han Solo and Lando Calrissian obtained the Millennium Falcon, but it was inconsistent with the fact that the Millennium Falcon was really an old Corellian Engineering YT-1300. (CSWDW)

Mazzic
A major smuggling chief during the early years of the New Republic, Mazzic and his outfit were often described as militant. He ensured that his people were equipped for many combat operations, from hand-held weapons to large assault starships. Mazzic was a tall, muscular Corellian who was deeply suspicious of the Empire, and he took every opportunity to take credits for their work. He had formerly worked as a legitimate shipper for the Corporate Sector Authority, before he discovered the benefits of illegal cargoes and went into smuggling. Five years after the Battle of Endor, Mazzic helped Ellor destroy an unfinished Star Destroyer at the Bilbringi shipyards, just prior to Grand Admiral Thrawn's attack on Coruscant. Shortly afterward, Mazzic was captured by the Imperials and brought aboard the Chimaera for questioning. Much to his surprise, Thrawn merely stated that he understood the destruction of the Star Destroyer was simply a retaliation for the attack on the smugglers at the Whistler's Whirlpool on Trogan, and offered to allow Mazzic to leave. Of course, Mazzic had to live with the realization that Thrawn had captured him rather swiftly after the event, and then let him go. Thrawn then used Niles Ferrier to plant a rigged datadisk aboard the Wild Karrde, with false information that named Karrde himself as the individual who called for the Imperial raid on Trogan. Ferrier then hinted to Mazzic that Karrde was hiding something, setting up a grand scheme to discredit Karrde in front of the other smugglers. However, Ferrier misspoke about the datacard's contents, incriminating himself and unburdening Karrde of any doubt. (TLC, TTSB)

Mazzoney
A four-armed alien of unknown origins, Mazzoney was also distinguished by the orange hair that grew on his head. He had brown skin, and was extermely muscular and strong. His mouth was filled with sharp teeth, and his face was heavily scarred. He ran a bar in the city of Selkren, on Demophon. (SN)

Maz'zt
This was a common name among members of the Ugnaught race. (UANT)

MB1711-V
This was the identification number of the mining team which supposedly discovered the ruins of the Alderaan Royal Palace within the rubble of the Graveyard. They also claimed to have found a survivor who claimed to be Bail Organa. This was all part of a plot set up by Darth Vader to capture Leia Organa, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (GA)

MB450
This series of macrobinoculars was produced by the Lydree corporation, during the height of the New Order. (E4VG)

MB-50
This was the model number of Luxan Armaments' Penetrator sporting blaster. (ROE)

m'Bal, Kyloria
This alias was used by Bria Tharen, when she and Han Solo tried to sell the Talisman to Truthful Toryn. The Duros was already aware of the situation surrounding the Talisman, and recognized them immediately. (TPS)

M'bardi Prison
This prison facility was one of many that were maintained by the Old Republic, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Located on an ocean-covered planet deep in the Outer Rim, M'bardi Prison experienced a riot just before the end of the war. Jedi Masters Kit Fisto and Plo Koon were dispatched to bring the riot under control. Their orders were to contain the violence without adding to it, plunging the two Masters into a discussion of the relative merits of saving hardened criminals. While Master Fisto believed that even criminals deserved a second chance, Master Koon felt that there was not a way to reform them. While they struggled to contain the rioting prisoners, they discovered that the riot had been staged by Durge, in order to lure them to the remote prison. They were given a chance to escape by a massive, two-headed being who fired his blaster at Durge. Master Fisto offered the alien a chance to escape with them, but only if he helped them put a stop to the riot. (CWA6)

M'Beg
This was a common name among Klatooinan males. It was used to honor the memory of Barada M'Beg, who signed the Treaty of Vontor and allied his race with the Hutts, who had been deemed the Ancients of Klatooinan religion. (NEGA)

M'Beg, Barada
This famous Klatooinan was perhaps the most revered scholar and leader in Klatooinan history. It was M'Beg who represented the Klatooinans in their ancient negotiations with the Hutts, prior to the war with Xim the Despot more than 25,000 years before the rise of the New Order. M'Beg was so well-revered that many Klatooinans named their male sons either Barada or M'Beg, in his honor. This led other races to refer to the Klatooinans as Baradas. (GG12, NEGA)

MB-RA-7
This protocol droid was used an as art instructor during the last years of the Old Republic. (SWK)

MBR-RX Pacifier
see MRX-BR Pacifier. (ND)

M'Buele, Katya
This woman, a native of the planet Corellia, was a romantic acquaintence of Han Solo's, having served with Solo aboard a smuggling ship in the years after Solo left Imperial service. Several years before the Battle of Yavin, Katya was one of the few smugglers who got paid for their part in the Battle of Ylesia. She re-entered his life years later on Tirahnn, after Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa were nearly captured by Kharys. She agreed to help Solo bring down Kharys, but was killed by a smoke demon before confronting Kharys. (LTA1, RD, MCA1)

M'Buh
This ball of barren rock was the sixth planet in the N'zoth System. It was orbited by four moons. (CCW)

M'bwa
This possessive pronoun from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "mine." (GPB)

MC Utility Sub
This twevle-meter-long craft was built by the Mon Calamari for use in constructing their floating cities. Each sub was equipped with a cutting laser and four clawed arms for deploying probes or collecting samples. (JASB)

MC-18
This Mon Calamari light freighter measured 23.6 meters in length, and could transport up to five passengers and 50 metric tons of cargo. Like all Mon Calamari designs, the MC-18 was often custom-built, and no two ships were exactly the same. (SWJ13)

MC30
This Mon Calamari light frigate saw military duty during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Like all Mon Calmari designs, individual MC30 frigates were not alike, as each was developed with organic lines and specialized applications. In general, though, the MC30 was less-bulbous that the larger MC80 cruisers, and had a long, streamlined body. (LAWS)

MC40a Light Cruiser
This was a Mon Calamari starship design which was a smaller version of the MC80a cruiser. Like all Mon Calamari starships, each MC40a was unique. (XWA)

MC80 Star Cruiser
This was the designation of the baseline Mon Calamari star cruiser. Like all Mon Cal designs, no two MC80s were exactly alike. These ships were designed as passenger liners, but were refitted for military duty during the height of the Galactic Civil War. On average, the MC80 star cruiser required a crew of 5,402 beings to operate, and could accommodate up to 1,200 passengers and 20,000 metric tons of cargo. Those ships that were refitted for military duty could also carry thirty-six starfighters and two stock light freighters into a battle zone. (EGV, SSOG)

MC80a Star Cruiser
This series of Mon Calamari space cruisers was originally designed as the MC80 luxury ship, but was later overhauled to become Alliance warships. Each of these ships was a hand-crafted work of art, unique from all others. They appeared to be organic in nature, because the Mon Calamari built them with sleek, rounded pods and bulges to contain sensor arrays, weapons batteries, and shield generators. Since they were designed as luxury ships, MC80a cruisers had a large number of viewports. This proved to be a problem when they were refitted for military duty, as the large number of viewports reduced the ship's structural integrity. To further protect the MC80a, the Mon Calamari covered the viewports with hull components and heavy blast doors. These ships were built specifically for use by Mon Calamari crewmen, and required a great deal of refitting for use by other species. The MC80a measured 1200 meters in length, and carried a normal crew of 5,156 officers and 246 gunners, with the ability to transport 1,200 troops. Note that The Stele Chronicles breaks the crew compliment down as 4,734 enlisted beings and 668 officers. The MC80a was been rated at 60 MGLT at sublight speeds. These vessels were designed with triple-redundant shielding, and most other systems had at least double redundancy. This made them extremely battle-effective, but required a great deal of maintenance. The MC80a was equipped with the following shipboard components:

• TriLuna 400 MGS Stardrive and Hyperdrive Motivator
• 20 ArMek SW-7 Ion Cannon Batteries
• Serridge SEAL Shielding System (rated at 240 SBD)
• 6 Front-mounted Phylon-Q7 Tractor Beam Projectors
• 48 Taim and Bak XV9 Turbolaser Batteries
• Plat Dromma Targeting Computer
• 6 Fighter Bays (Y-wing Squadrons, 2 X-wing Squadrons, and 1 A-wing Squadron)

(SCRE, COTF, RASB, DESB, CHRN, TSC, SSOG)

MC80b
This Mon Calamari star cruiser improved further upon the MC80 and MC80a designs, adding more powerful shields and heavier hull reinforcement. It was designed as a bridge between the primarily civilian MC80 and MC80a cruisers and the MC90 military cruiser. The MC80b measured 1,200 meters in length, and was armed with 48 turbolasers linked in four groups of twelve. Twenty ion cannons were linked in groups of four. Four squadrons of starfighters were housed in the ship's docking bays. (EGV)

MC80B
see MC80b (UF)

MC90 Cruiser
This was the first truly military starship designed by the Mon Calamari. They were more modular than the MC80-series, designed to be more consistent with other, non-MC-class starships. The ship's displays were given multiple wavelength settings so that other species could read them. The MC90 had an improved drive system, increased shielding, and better maneuverability. The power generators were upgraded, and interior cargo space was expanded for carrying more starfighters. The Defiance was the first MC90 to see action, during the first Battle of Calamari. These 1,255-meter ships were manned by 5,860 crewmen and 605 gunners, and could transport up to 1,700 troops. They were armed with 75 turbolaser batteries, 30 ion cannon batteries, 8 tractor beam projectors, and 6 proton torpedo/missile tubes. (DE1, DESB, JASB)

McBrain, Bruce
This Aqualish thug worked for Jabba the Hutt, at the crimelord's palace on Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

MCC-40Z
This Mon Calamari sublight engine design was used on many Mon Cal luxury liners. (RM)

McCool, Droopy
The pudgy, white alien playing the chidinkalu horn in the Max Rebo Band, Droopy was a member of the Kitonak race. When Evar Orbus was the leader of the band, Orbus purchased Droopy on Ovrax IV. He went simply by the Snit back then, but following Orbus' death, Droopy allowed Sy Snootles to choose a new name for him. She came up with Droopy McCool, and he kept it. When the band was forced to accompany Jabba to the Pit of Carkoon, they managed to escape from the sail barge before it could explode. Following the death of Jabba the Hutt, Droopy fled the crimelord's palace to live in the deep Tatooine desert, which reminded him very much of his home planet. He was never seen again, although many farmers claim to hear the soulful wailing of his pipes in the night air. (E6, TJP, SWDB)

Mcgrrrr, Crysta
This woman was Opun Mcgrrrr's wife. (SWJ11)

Mcgrrrr, Hethra
This Corellian was known as being the founder of the Black Hole Pirates, and was the father of Opun Mcgrrrr. (SWJ11)

Mcgrrrr, Opun
This burly man, known as "The Black Hole," was the son of Hethra Mcgrrrr, although he obtained most of his status from his mother's name. Opun was the owner of the Holiday Towers hotel on Cloud City, until Jabba the Hutt took control in a bloody coup. Mcgrrrr then stole the accounting droid CZ-3 from Jabba's townhouse on Tatooine, during a stay at the townhouse as one of Jabba's guests shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Mcgrrrr hoped to take the data from within CZ-3's brain and use it to blackmail Jabba. Unfortunately, Mcgrrrr didn't know that the droid had been equipped with a miniature transceiver rig, which recorded a number of his criminal doings. Later, the Squib named Mace Windu obtained the droid, and it was later sold by Aguillea at the Jawa Traders store. Mcgrrrr ordered his underling Tols Vengra to recover the droid, which was later destroyed by Zutton. (SWJ11)

MCI-200
This was a model of Loris Syndicated Securities magnaharness. (GG10)

McKnives, Jasper
This Nikto fanatic was one of the many members of the Cult of M'dweshuu during the height of the Clone Wars. His legacy wasn't so much about his physical abilities as it was about his mental instability. For reasons unknown, Jasper arrived on the planet Rattatak shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. His bloody record of brutal cult slayings caught the attention of the Rattataki warlords, who immediately had him placed in the gladiator pits as punishment. Thus, Jasper was forced to fight his way to freedom, a situation which was perfectly all right with him. Unfortunately, he was placed into The Cauldron at the same time as Asajj Ventress was fighting there, and Jasper soon died at the hands of the lightsaber-wielding warrior. (SWDB)

McKumb, Drub
An old buddy of Han Solo's, he suddenly showed up on Ithor, brainwashed with yarrock into delivering a message to Han. Drub was a long-distance cargo hauler when Han knew him, but they hadn't seen each other since they met on Ord Mantell, just prior to the Battle of Hoth. McKumb then told Solo that Jabba the Hutt had put a great deal of money on Han's head. (COJ)

M-class Fighter
This large starfighter was developed by the Alliance from the design of the BTL-A4 Y-Wing fighter. The M-class fighter had three engines, each apparently taken from salvaged Y-Wings and mounted on an M-shaped fuselage. The central portion of the fuselage housed a small cargo compartment behind the main cockpit. The front of each wing was swept forward to a point, further emphasizing the craft's M shape. At the tip of each wing was a heavy laser cannon. (AVS)

M-class Starship
This was a version of a standard passenger liner that was in operation during the early years of the New Order. (HSR)

McPherson
A moisture farming family on Tatooine. They were friends with Ariq Joanson, and agreeing with his ideals. (TME)

McQuarrie, Pharl
This Alliance General was a native of the planet Ralltiir. McQuarrie was a veteran of the Clone Wars, and served under Admiral Dron during the defense of the planet Ukio. Then a Captain, it was McQuarrie who discovered that a Trade Federation battleship was deploying modified seismic tanks into the atmosphere of Ukio. These tanks then deposited photoreactive soil from the Moorja Badlands into the atmosphere, where it settled onto the planetary shield and effectively blocked all sunlight from reaching the surface. Nearly two decades later, McQuarrie and Jeroen Webb played an instrumental part in helping the rebel cell on Ralltiir get word to Princess Leia Organa that the Empire was building a new superweapon. He later fled the planet after the Empire subjugated it, and joined the Alliance. His knowledge of logistics and plannign made him an integral part of the planning and establishment of Echo Base on Hoth. (CCG9, SWI74, CWOC2)

MCS
This computer manufacturer specialized in the production of mainframe units, but went out of business during the early years of the New Order. (SPG)

MD (Emdee) droid
The designation of Industrial Automaton's series of medical droids. These droids were roughly humanoid in stature, and were based marginally on the 2-1B series. As with most forms of droids, there were different classifications of medical droids based on their programming:

• MD-O - diagnostic droids which perform patient examinations and diagnosis. They were equipped with various medical examination implements, such as thermometers, ultrasounders, and x-rays
• MD-1 - laboratory techinician droids which conduct all sorts of lab test to analyze and isolate diseases and viruses
• MD-2 - anesthesiology droids which administer anesthesia and monitor vital functions during surgery
• MD-3 - pharmaceuutical droids which aanalyze, prescribe, and prepare the medicines necessary to combat and prevent disease and infection. They were readily available to most pharmacies, but have been stolen and used by illegal drug dealers. They were also used by the Empire to administer experimental drugs to improve troop loyalty and performance
• MD-4 - microsurgery droids which were equipped with miniature vibroscalpels, clamps, and optical sensors used to perform delicate surgery
• MD-5 - small, mobile general practitioner droids usually assigned to spaceships when a living doctor was too expensive or unavailable. They can administer first aid and perform simple surgeries

(TLC, JS, RASB, DFRSB, FOP, EGD)

This was another name for the MD-11 series of medical droids. (MF)

MD-0
This series of medical droids as part of the Emdee series, produced by Industrial Automaton during the height of the New Order and the Galactic Civil War. The MD-0 series was designed to serve as diagnostic specialists. (RASB)

MD-0C6
This MD-series droid, known to its many acquaintences as simply Doc, was believed to have coined the name Bartyn's Landing for the primary settlement on the planet Lamaredd, many centuries before the Galactic Civil War. Doc was the chief medical droid for the expedition that located the Lamaro System, and the regular memory wipes that were administered eventually gave the droid a curmudgeonly personality that many beings found quaint. Because he was a droid, Doc could practice medicine at any hour of the day or night, and didn't need sleep or sustenance. Thus, Doc became completely independent, and served Bartyn's Landing loyally for the next several centuries. Doc became a fixture in the day-to-day management of the Landing, and assisted with the operations of the Outer Rim Oreworks installation on Lamaredd. (GMR7)

MD-1

MD-9
This series of medical droid prototypes was produced by Industrial Automaton in small numbers and used in smll sectors. (TNR, EGD)

Mdel
This Nociv was one of the elder leaders of his people, during the Galactic Civil War. His skin displayed the largest number of whorls, indicating that he was the wisest of all the Nociv. When Darth Vader attacked Kadril with pacifog, in an effort to seize all its kunda stones, it was Mdel's dying wish that the Nociv join Luke Skywalker and Han Solo in fighting against the Imperial stormtroopers. (LAT3)

MDF Motivator
This droid motivation device was produced by Merendata for use in the EV-series supervisor droids, but early versions of the motivator were flawed. Droids implanted with flawed MDF motivators tended to be malicious, and often went rogue. MerenData later claimed that the inclusion of the MDF motivator was an act of industrial sabotage, after it was learned that the MDF unit was designed to be used in torture droids, thereby making it illegal to produce. (AIR, NEGD)

Mdimu
This Etti man served as Thrackan Sal-Solo's chief of communications, after Sal-Solo was named President of Ylesia and Commander in Chief of the Peace Brigade. (Y)

MD-S3

MDS-50
This handheld medical scanner, produced by Synthtech Medtech provided a wide range of diagnostic capabilities for a small device. (GFT)

MDS-500
This was a model of datapad produced during the last decades of the Old Republic. The MDS-500 was a durable platform, and many survived well into the era of the New Republic. Jacen Solo found a working model on the planet Coruscant, after the Yuuzhan Vong had begun reforming the planet to resemble Yuuzhan'tar. (T)

MDU
This acronym was used to describe a Mobile Defense Unit. (LAWS)

M'dweshuu
This ancient star was located in the center of the Si'Klaata Cluster. It suddenly exploded at some point many millenia before the Third Battle of Vontor, causing great changes on nearby planets. Radiation from the dying star caused evolutionary changes to the Nikto race on Kintan, as well as altering other lower forms of life. Several species of monstrous animals appeared on the planet's surface, forcing the Nikto to develop all manner of defenses for their protection. (GG12, NEGA)

M'dweshuu Nova
The remnants of the M'dweshuu star, it was discovered by Nikto scientists some time before the Third Battle of Vontor. It hurls great amounts of radiation into the nearby space, creating many uninhabitable worlds and altering life on others. Among the worlds altered by the Nova was Kintan, and produced the five races of Nikto. The impact of the Nova and the radiation it produced gave rise to the Cult of M'dweshuu. (GG12)

M'dweshuui Blood-cult
see Cult of M'dweshuu (SWGAL)

MdZ-BLK
This droid was built from a various of parts and pieces, but was at its core an MdZ-series automaton. The auto-balance legs were maintained, and other components added on as needed. The droid was considered unusable by its first owners, being quite stubborn and almost immune to memory wipes. Later, Blockhead (as he became known) was employed by Darion Seville as a gladiator droids, and was forced to fight against protocol droids for Seville's amusement. This formed a deep-seated hatred of protocol droids in MdZ-BLK's memory core,and resolved Blockhead to kill Darion Seville. She was saved by her son, Yearo, who ionized MdZ-BLK and sold it to Gorbu the Hutt. blockhead succeeded in killing Gorbu before finding employment with Aimi Loto. Aimi recognized Blockhead as an individual with rights, which made Blockhead quite happy. As an Alliance saboteur, Blockhead took great pleasure in using protocol droids and remote explosive devices. (CRO)

MdZ-series Droid
This series of droids was built on an advanced locomotive base, and employed auto-balance legs that allowed it to operate in any position. The design was quickly copied by both Industrial Automaton and Cybot Galactica. However, the MdZ's poor body was an inferior knock-off of the S12 design, and the overall performance of the droids suffered. Eventually, the MdZ series was discontinued. (CRO)

Me
This possessive pronoun from the Huttese language translated into Basic as "my." This word was often interchanged with the pronoun mah, depending on the regional dialect being spoken. (SWLG)

Me
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 "fiery" or "hot". (GCG)

Me, Firith
This male Twi'lek was one of the beings who witnessed Sunry's flight from the hotel room he shared with Elassa, on the planet Manaan, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Firith was a smuggler, and his credibility was brought into question when he was ordered to testify at Sunry's trial. He could only say that he saw Elassa arrive at the hotel, then saw Sunry come and go shortly afterward. Firith Me also revealed that he had seen a lightsaber beneath Elassa's cloak, and this evidence helped point to her true nature as a Sith officer. (KOTOR)

Me, Lyn
This voluptuous Twi'lek female with chalk-white skin was one of Jabba the Hutt's favorite dancers, often performing with Rystall and Greeata as part of the Max Rebo Twelve. She was from a head clan on Ryloth that once hired Boba Fett to protect them from slavers, and she eventually fell in love with the bounty hunter. Among her earliest memories was that of Boba Fett rescuing a group of Twi'leki children after the slavers set fire to their school. She was unaware of the fact that Fett had been hired by her father, a wealthy crimelord, to protect her, and that he considered the rescue little more than a job. From that point on, though, Lyn Me scoured the newsnets for information on Boba Fett, and was actually something of an authority on the bounty hunter's career. She used her skills as a Twi'lek dancer to get off Rodia, and was eventually approached by Max Rebo to join the small group of dancers that accompanied his band. She secretly hoped that her position in the band owuuld get her closer to locating Fett. Her luck reached its highest when the Max Rebo Twelve was contracted to play at Jabba's palace shortly after Boba Fett accepted a position working for Jabba. She longed to see the bounty hunter, and only got a brief chance before Luke Skywalker arrived to rescue Han Solo and Leia Organa. In the wake of Jabba's death, and the disappearance of Boba Fett into the Sarlacc Pit, Lyn Me and Greeata barely managed to save the band. After the death of Jabba, Lyn Me vowed to exact revenge on Han Solo and Luke Skywalker for killing her hero. Only after Fett reappeared several years later did she drop her vendetta against Solo and Skywalker, and she set out once again to locate the bounty hunter. (RJSE, CCG9, MTSE, SWDB, SWI67)

Meade, Jessica
Known as Jess, this young woman was a starpilot who assisted Jann Tosh and the droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, in returning Mon Julpa to Tammuz-an. She first encountered the group on Tyne's Horky, where they were pursued by Yorbo, Zolag, and IG-88. Jess managed to rescue them from Yorbo and Kreb Zellock, then agreed to transport them to Tammuz-an. She later became one of Mon Julpa's closest advisors, but eventually left that position to return to the life of an interstellar trader. (DCAR, SWDB)

Meahonon, Ishale
This red-haired woman was an Imperial scout who served on the Wanderer. When the Wanderer crashed on Isis, Ishale was able to reprogram the navigational computer on the Handree to get the Imperials back to the planet Miser. Once she had programmed the computer, and realizing that Alliance agents were on board, she tried to destroy the computer so that the Alliance wouldn't learn of the Naval base on Miser. (IC)

Meala
This Hapan doctor served as the personal physician of the Chume'da, Allana, during the years following the Swarm War. Doctor Meala provided Allana with an autoinjector that was filled with a special drug, for use in emergency situations. The drug contained in the autoinjector rendered an attacker unable to move, and only a certain antidote could reverse the effects of the drug. Allana was forced to use the autoinjector when she was attacked by Aurra Sing aboard the Anakin Solo, after the bounty hunter made an attempt to assassinate her mother, Tenel Ka. (LF3)

Mealbread
This was a processed bread product manufactured on Corellia during the early decades of the New Republic. It could be formed into chips, sticks, or a variety of other shapes, and contained sufficent nutrients to make it equivalent to a small meal. (EL2, RCTZ)

Meastrinnar
The inhabitants of this world opposed the New Order. (CRO)

Meat Can
This was one of the many terms used to describe the clone troopers who were produced for the Grand Army of the Republic. While it was often appropriate to use the term to describe rank-and-file troopers, it was never used in the presence of a commando. (RCTZ, RCTC)

Meat Droid
This was a derogatory term used to describe the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic. (MBS)

Meat Nest
This was a term used by xenobiologists to describe the unusual habits of certain species of carnivorous insects.

(SWDT)

Meatalo
Created in the Moridebo District of the planet Metellos, this meat-and-lard dish was formed into shapes that resembled fruit, before being roasted or baked. (CCW)

This was the name used by the members of the Meatlumps gang to describe the form of currency they used amongst themselves. (SWGAL)

Meatlumps
This gang of small-time thugs caused all sorts of problems on their homeworld of Corellia during the Galactic Civil War. Named for their favorite food, the Meatlumps were formed by an Imperial scientist - known only as the Meatlump King - who decided that he no longer wanted to produce weapons of mass destruction. The Meatlumps were formed with the goal of destroying all scientific progress, and the gang was led by the scientist's three ignorant sons, Hraykken, Draykken, and Louis Bender. Most of the members of the Meatlumps were also quite ignorant, and were perceived by law enforcements agents as a group of fanatical dullards. (GQRG, SWGAL, SWG2P)

Meatvine
This thick vine, native to the planet Threfal, was known for its fleshy pulp. When cut into pieces, the meatvine could be consumed as a foodsource. (GMR9)

Me'bana?
When translated into Basic, this Mando'a question meant "What is happening?" or "What happened?" (OWS)

Mec, Prestor
This slave worked in the radioactive elements mines of Sabrix. He discovered that Boss Denedin was skimming off the top of the profits from the mine, and exposed the embezzlement to his superiors. Unfortunately for Mec, Denedin's replacement had him eliminated shortly afterward, in an effort to ensure that no ambitious miner screwed up his plans. (GG11)

Meccamitta, Garven
This man worked as Dean and Chief Surgeon at the Rhinnal State Medical Academy during the height of the New Order. Arrogant and self-assured, Doctor Meccamitta was a genius among geniuses who often rolled his eyes at any being who had to ask him a question. Meccamitta also somewhat mad, often worrying that sick patients were bringing rare or alien contagions to Rhinnal. (CCW)

Meccha
This was one of the major cities located on the planet Drall. During the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, riots spread throughout the city after the New Republic approved a plan to used the Centerpoint Station repulsor as a weapon against the Yuuzhan Vong. (JE, CCW)

Mecetti House Guard
This was the name of the combined army and navy maintained by House Mecetti of Tapani Sector. (LOE)

Mecetti Purge
This era of history within the Tapani Sector occurred more than twenty years before the Battle of Hoth. House Mecetti virtually exterminated House Pelagia, and would have gone on to conquer other Houses if the Empire hadn't stepped in to take control of Tapani Sector. In the end, House Pelagia was able to smuggle out the younger brother and sister of Theus Paddox, thereby giving House Pelagia a chance to rebuild. (TSIA, LOE)

Mechanical Allies
This droid sales and repair shop was owned and operated by the Twi'lek named San, during the early years of the New Order. Located in The Promenade aboard Sel Zonn Station, Mechanical Allies was noted for its shoddy parts and faulty droids that were available for sale. It was also noted that Mechanical Allies was one of the few shops that were owned by non-humans, but not shut down when the Empire assumed control of the station. (DD01)

Mechanical Liberation Front
This fanatical organization, founded during the last decads of the Old Republic and led by Jarred Sneel during the height of the New Order, staged many violent hit-and-run assaults against droid manufacturing corporations. The membership of the MLF was formed from a variety of highly-skilled technicians and mercenaries, all of which believed that droids should have certain unalienable rights in the galactic community. Rather than stage peaceful demonstrations, however, the MLF planted bombs in the manufacturing plants of corporations like Industrial Automata and MerenData. They were perhaps best-known for their attempt to "free" a shipment of Vindicator XM-15 "brilliant" missiles near Havridam City, on the planet New Bakstre. Fourteen MLF members were killed in the operation, which also destroyed more than 2,000 square kilometers of the city, when the missiles were detonated due to the activists' ineptitude. (FTD, HNN5)

Mechanical Universal Labor Eliminator Droid
Developed by Les Tech and known by the brand name of PackTack, this droid was designed to pack and carry equipment for scouts and explorers. Known in sales brochures as the 41LT-R, many scouts simply called it the MULE. These equine automata were equipped with a heavy lifting claw, a large storage bay, and a small repulsor engine. (GG8, EGD)

Mechanical versus Organic Showdown
This was an unofficial nickname used to describe the first-ever Cularin Classic swoop race. The nickname stemmed from the fact that Team SoroSuub fielded a remote-controlled swoop that was designed to compete with the best organic swoops racers from the Cularin System. (JST3)

Mechano-droid
This was a form of Jawa-built "ugly droid" that was built to perform heavy labor. These units were often equipped with heavy manipulator arms or drilling mechanisms, and were designed to be permanently mounted to a platform. (NEGD)

MechBlaze Tracking Corporation
This manufacturer created several grades of tracking devices, including the Observer. (CFG)

Me-chee
This work from the Ewokese language translated into Basic as "name." (E6, GPB)

MechGill
This was a form of personal rebreather used by scouts and explorers to extract oxygen from most liquid mediums. (GG8)

Mechis III
This planet was home to some of the galaxy's finest droid specialists, as well as some of the galaxy's most efficient droid-production facilities. Many of the galaxy's larger droid manufacturers, including Arakyd, Genetech, SoroSuub, and Veril Line Systems, subcontracted their construction work to the factories on Mechis III, were the infrastructure could be swiftly retooled to produce high-quality droids in shorter cycles. Because most of the planet's surface was heavily industrialized and automated, Mechis III appeared to be a ball of black. Most factories did not require organic operators, so there was no need for living residences and additional lighting.

During the height of the New Order, the rogue IG-88 droids fled to Mechis III after escaping from the Holowan Laboratories, and their high-speed computing power allowed them to outsmart the planet's defense systems. They sent several IG-like viruses into the defense computer, creating IG nodes throughout the planet. Each node communicated with the existing droids, instructing them to eliminate all organic lifeforms. Once entrenched on Mechis III, the IG-88s plotted their take-over of the galaxy. After the droids were eliminated, organic life returned to Mechis III to reprogram the security systems and restore the planet's normal activities. An unexpected windfall was the fact that the IG-88s had reprogrammed the manufacturing lines to be twice as efficient as they were under previous routines.

In the wake of the Battle of Endor, the droid factories of Mechis III fell into disrepair, as many small glitches and programming errors compounded themselves, leading to the failure of entire systems. Tyko Thul eventually took over the operations on Mechis III, retooling the factories and restoring them to peak operational status. Thul was able to consolidate all the operations on the planet, and could control any aspect of droid production from his offices. He programmed the droid 3D-4X to serve as an administrator of the droid factories, and reprogrammed an IG-88 droid to serve as his primary bodyguard. (DS, TBH, NEGD, DOG)

Mechmind
This was a state of being that was often observed in higher-function droids that were connected to larger computer networks. While in the mechmind state, a droid could exchange information with other electronic systems almost instantly, forgoing the use of speech or other forms of communication in order to send and receive data at the simplest levels. (CN2)

MechMiner
This was the name given to any small, track-driven vehicle which was used in a variety of mining operations. Usually a single-person vehicle, a MechMiner could do the work of a dozen beings in excavating a site. (SWJ15)

Mechno-arm
This was a generic term used to describe a cybernetic prosthesis that replaced a being's natrual arm. Often, the term was used whenever a prosthesis was not covered with artificial or imitation flesh, allowng the mechanisms of the prosthesis to be viewed at all times. (NEGW)

Mechno-chair
A Neimoidian invention, the mechno-chair was a mobile platform on which a being of stature could sit and travel without moving on its own. Produced by the Affodies Crafthouse of Pure Neimoidia, the chair was supported by four, heavy-duty legs which were controlled by a droid brain that was controlled by a small switch on one arm. It was gyroscopically balanced, and its laser-etched surface mimicked the shell of a sovereign beetle. The ownership of a mechno-chair was a status symbol among the Neimoidians, as it was not a very practical mode of transportation. (E1N, COD)

Mechro-II
This was a model of droid brain developed by Kalibac Industries. (FTD)

Mecht
This male Seaan was a former Imperial slave who joined the Alliance and became a member of Red Hand Squadron. (RD)

MechTech Illustrated
This technical journal published a wide variety of articles about new technology in the galaxy, during the final decades of the Old Republic and throughout the era of the New Order. The editors and writers at Mechtech Illustrated were never known to mince words, and once described Industrial Automaton's R5-series of astromechs to be "...meter-tall stack[s] of the worst business decisions you could possibly want." (RPG, NEGD)

Mechu Macture
This was a technique that was used by the ancient Jedi Knights to affect the ability of machinery or other technology to work properly. Jedi Master Arca Jeth was an expert in the use of mechu macture, and put his skills to use when he destroyed the inner workings of the droids that answered the call of HK-01 during the Great Droid Revolution. The term mechu macture believed to have meant "destroy droid," but it was unclear whether this was the actual translation or just a more commonly-used term. (NEGD)

Mechu-deru
This was one of the many ancient Sith forms of Force magic, in which the user infused a mechanical object with Dark Side energy. It was believed to have been lost by the era of the New Order, but Roganda Ismaren discovered several ancient scrolls which documented its usage. She passed most of this information onto her son, Irek. Belia Darzu was known to have used this technique to create a specialized technovirus that could be injected into a living, causing the being to evolve in a short period of time into a strange and pitiful half-being, half-droid creation known as a technobeast. The use of techonviruses became known as mechu-deru vitae. (GMR5, NEGC, NEGD)

Mechu-deru vitae
This was an extension of the Sith technique known as mechu-deru, which was first developed by the Sith Lord Belia Darzu. By using mechu-deru to create specialized technoviruses, Darzu was able to inject living beings with the technovirus to create pitiful creatures that were half-living, half-droid monstrosities known as technobeasts. Despite the fact that the Sith remained separated from the galaxy, many of the chants and incantations used in mechu-deru vitae took the form of rhyming lines of poetry that were popular during the Effulem Era. (NEGD)

Meckgin
see Eve of Meckgin (SWI66)

Mecolar Briddlings
This small delicacies were used as a topping on many gourmet salads. (SESB)

Me'copaani?
When translated into Basic, this Mando'a question meant "What do you want?" or "What would you like?" (OWS)

Mecrosa Order
This society of assassins and expert poisoners was long-rumored to be led by Sith disciples, and it took many years for that rumor to finally be proven. The Mecrosa Order was first sponsored by House Mecetti of Tapani Sector some 7,250 years before the Battle of Yavin, as a force that was charged with protecting the members of House Mecetti. House Mecetti also provided the Order with a base of operations on the planet Nyssa, from which the nobles of Mecetti protected the interests and holdings of their family with ruthlessness and cunning. Over time, the Mecrosa Order established strongholds on other House Mecetti worlds, and it flourished until High Lord Tritum XI married Vjun native Mireya, some 4,200 years before the Battle of Yavin.

Unknown to Tritum and the Mecetti, Viscountess Mireya was actually a skilled Sith warrior, in addtion to being the embodiment of a regal lady. She began imposing Sith rituals on the Mecrosa Order's members, despite the fact that most members showed no sensitivity to the Force, initiating new members with strange ceremonies and creating a group of noble assassins who could silently elminate House Mecetti's enemies. Some Jedi historians point to the members of the Sith-led Mecrosa Order as the first true "Sith Lords," since they were both practitioners of the dark arts and actual nobility.

The Mecrosa Order survived for the next two millennia, until the Great Sith War broke out across the galaxy. As the Jedi Knights combined with forces of the Old Republic to defeat Exar Kun and his Sith followers, they also became aware of the threat of the Mecrosa Order, and combined with forces from House Pelagia to confront the order. This elimination of the Sith throughout the Tapani Sector became known as the Cleansing of the Nine Houses. Although many in the Tapani Sector held the belief that the Mecrosa Order was destroyed during the Great Sith War, the legacy of the Order survived through the millennia after the few surviving members went into hiding. It was believed that these survivors were among those who had no sensitivity to the Force, which allowed them to avoid detection by the Jedi Knights. Many credit the hidden members of the Mecrosa Order with the poisoning of Belia Darzu, during the era of the New Sith Wars.

At the height of the Galactic Civil War, the Order was re-established by several young House Mecetti nobles who had been groomed from their youths to be assassins and poisoners. They eschewed the need for Sith rituals, instead concentrating on the elimination of their enemies through more practical means. None of the leaders of House Mecetti were aware that the Mecrosa Order had been reborn, and the Order's members worked to ensure their secret. This new generation of Mecrosa killers was believed to have wiped out the Jedi Knights of House Pelagia during the Jedi Purge that followed the Clone Wars, as revenge for their house's part in the near-destruction of the Mecrosa Order many millenia earlier. Many historians and certain holoviod producers insinuated that this new incarnation of the Mecrosa Order maintained a cadre of Sith magicians at its core, but this was never proven. When the Dark Jedi Lumiya was forced into hiding during the New Republic, it was believed that she eventually found the Mecrosa Order and forced its members to give her access to their collection of Sith lore.

Note that Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force indicates that the Mecrosa Order was founded just 4,200 years before the Battle of Yavin. Is this simply the date when the Order became a Sith organization? (PGT, LOE, OWS, EGF)

Med Droid
This was a generic term used to describe any medical droid. (CWTVB16)

Med Evac 1014
This Galactic Alliance med runner was one of many that was deployed during the Second Battle of Fondor. Jacen Solo commandeered the ship to rescue Tahiri Veila from the Bloodfin, knowing that the ship's identity as a med runner would allow him access to the destroyer. (LF8)

Med Runner
This was the name used by most spacers to describe the SoroSuub Sprint-class rescue ship, although the term eventually came to describe any support vessel that provided medical assistance during space battles. (TBSB, LF8)

Med Sprinter
This was another term used to describe a med runner. (LF8)

Med Tank
This was another name for a bacta tank. (XWP)

This was a generic term used to describe the medical station found about many larger starships. (CWWS)

Medbed
see Athakam II Med Unit (GFT)

Med-Beq, Achk
This man was a noted criminal who was imprisoned at the CoCo Penetentiary during the years leading up the Clone Wars. Shortly before the Battle of Geonosis, Achk Med-Beq escaped from the prison, along with Dannl Faytonni and Llollulion, before disappearing into the crowded Coruscant streets. Like Faytonni, Med-Beq wore the stolen uniform of a Republic soldier, all the better to attract the ladies and ward off unnecessary intrusion. The only thing that belied the truth of his uniform was the spiderweb of tattoos that spread outward from his left eye. He and Faytonni tried to escape from Coruscant during the early stages of the Clone Wars by posing as members of the Judicial Department. The pair might have stolen Senator Padme' Amidala's Nabbo Skiff if Jar Jar Binks and C-3PO hadn't programmed it to simply return to the Senate Rotunda. (OWS, HNN5, SWDB, SWI75, CWOC1)

MedCo
This pharmaceutical company produces many varieties of hypodermic injection systems. (CFG)

MedCorps
see Medical Corps (PJSB)

Meddun
This Kajain'sa'Nikto mercenary worked out of Mos Espa, on the planet Tatooine, during the last decades of the Old Republic, and attended the Boonta Eve Classic podrace which was won by Anakin Skywalker. (YJC6)

Medepiest
This planet and its inhabitants tried to resist Imperial invasion, but were summarily defeated. Their struggle became known as the Medepiest Uprising. (CRO)

Medepiest Uprising
This was the name given to the unsuccessful rebellion of the planet Medepiest against Imperial control. (CRO)

Medevac
This was the designation of a group of Lambda-class shuttles that were used by the Alliance to transport wounded from battle sites, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (XW, XWP)

Media Mynock
This was a slang term used to describe those members of the news media who did very little investigation in their reporting. Instead, these individuals often simply waited outside the homes or offices of famous beings until their target emerged. The reporters then beseiged them with questions, hoping to get a scoop or a quote that could be used in the newsfeeds. The name referred to the way that a mynock would wait for a starship to pass close enough to its location, then attach itself to the ship's power systems and begin feeding. (CN2)

Mediacaster
This was the generic term used to describe any being who served as the public face of a news or media agency. Often, mediacasters simply reported on the news, rather than actually gathering it in the field. (CN2)

Medi-Aid
This was the name of an ambulance service in the city of Griann, on the planet Teyr. (SOL)

Mediator
This Mon Calamari cruiser, considered the first of the new Mediator-class battle cruisers, was dispatched by the New Republic to mediate the dispute between Rhommamool and Osarian, shortly before Nom Anor and the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. It was commanded by the Mon Calamari Commander, Ackdool. After Nom Anor launched a pre-emptive strike at Osa-Prime, then claimed it was over-eager Rhommamoolians who launched it, Ackdool promised Anor sanctuary aboard the Mediator. Nom Anor flew to the ship, but without any intention of staying. He remained in a small A-Wing while pretending to be in a diplomatic shuttle. Nom Anor left his shuttle in the hold of the Mediator, where it exploded in a nuclear blast that vaporized much of the cruiser. (VP, HT)

Mediator-class Battle Cruiser
This Mon Calamari warship was developed for use by the New Republic, and first saw duty during the dispute between Rhommamool and Osarian. (HT)

Medic Guide
This was the title given to the doctors and nurses who worked in the Medical Circle on Kegan, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (FFT)

Medical Circle
This section of the primary city on the planet Kegan was dedicated to maintaining the health of the planet's population. (FFT)

Medical Cocoon
A portable device for transporting injured people. (SME)

Medical Corps
This branch of the Jedi Knights was similar in many respects to the Agricultural Corps. The MedCorps was comprised of students of The Force who were in training during the Old Republic, and provided treatment and consolation to the sick and infirm of the galaxy. Underlying this humanitarian goal was the idea that Jedi Padawans needed to understand that fragile nature of living beings, and that the will of The Force was the guiding principle in the life and death of all beings. Unlike the AgriCorps, the MedCorps maintained only a few dozen students and their instructors at any given time. (WOTC, PJSB)

Medical Diagnostic Systems, Incorporated
This producer of computer hardware and software was based on the planet Kothlis, and specialized in medical applications for their products. During the Old Republic, MeDiS was one of the top three companies in the industry, but lost ground as more nimble corporations branched out to produce sophisticated medical droids. (SPG)

Medical Frigate
This was the generic term used by Alliance personnel to decribe a Nebulon-B frigate that had been outfitted exclusively for transporting and caring for wounded and convalescent personnel. These ships had 745 beds, up to 80 medics, and 30 medical droids (2-1Bs and MD models). Fifteen bacta tanks were also available on the frigate, along with five operating theaters. (E5, RASB)

Medical Frigate
This Corellian Engineering Corporation starship design was based on the CR90 corvette, but provided a stronger and better-defended vessel that could be used to carry medical personnel and patients across the vast distances of interstellar space. These ships first saw duty during the Clone Wars, when they were used to transport injured clone troopers and Jedi Knights from battlefield locations to various hospital facilities across the galaxy. (CWTV30)

Medication Dart
This was a form of dart that could be used to administer medication to a dangerous creature or individual. The dart could be fired from a simple pistol, but this allowed a doctor or physician to treat a patient that was violent or otherwise a threat to other beings. (FJ3)

MediCorps
see Medical Corps (RESB)

Medicron
This was the term used to describe any regular medical publication that could be accessed on the HoloNet, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (MBS)

Medicrystal
This specialized form of kunda stone was developed by the Kadrillian race for use in medical applications. (LAT3)

Medi-cup
This was the generic term used to describe any small container that could be used to dispense small doses of drugs or medicine. Medi-cups were found in most starship medkits. (CWWS)

Mediglobe
This was the name used for the underwater bubble which contains a Gungan hospital. (E1N)

Med'ika
This was a nickname used by Goran Beviin and many other Mandalorians to describe Medrit Vasur. It was somewhat ironic, since the 'ika suffix implied that the nickname literally meant "little Medrit," even Medrit himself was a mountain of a man. (LF5)

Medikit
This was another name for a medkit. (DIV)

Me'dinurir
When translated into Basic, this Mando'a verb meant "to share" or "to give to each other." (OWS)

Medi-pack
see Medkit (HSR)

MeDiS

Medis, Varen
This man served the Empire as a Commander in the Imperial Security Bureau. Medis was stationed on the planet Byss, in the Deep Core, where he made sure that nobody escaped the planet. (PH)

Mediscan 21
This was a basic, handheld medical scanner produced by Cryoncorp during the early years of the New Republic. (GUN, SWJ4)

Medisensor
A small device used to monitor a person's health (TB)

Meditation Chamber
This enclosed chamber was used by Force users throughout history as a place to calm their thoughts and reach out to the Force. In the simplest form, a meditation chamber was a secure room that helped eliminate the distractions of everyday life. More sophisticated chambers provided auditory or olfactory stimulation to enhance an individual's ability to concentrate. Darth Vader's meditation chambers included the ability to completely shut out the outside world, and included hyperbaric equipment that allowed him to remove his helmet for short periods of time, without the risk of further damaging his ravaged body. (SWDB)

Meditation Garden Orenth
This wondrous garden was located on the ground of the Hidden Temple, on the remote world of Taivas. It was located on a platform suspended above the planet's surface, and was one of several such gardens that were created to help the Jedi meditate on their place in the galaxy, in the wake of the Sith-Imperial War and the Massacre at Ossus. (SWLHT)

Meditation of Emptiness
This was one of the meditative techniques used by the Jedi Knights of the glaxy, during the decades following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. In using this technique, a Jedi emptied themselves of all feeling, opening themselves up to the Force. In this way, a Jedi could shed their emotions and feelings and center themselves in the simple power and strength of the Force. Many Jedi Masters explained that the Meditation of Emptiness was like finding the calm center within the storm of one's emotions, like the eye of a hurricane. All memories, thoughts, and feelings were ignored or treated as if they were shadows, so that the Jedi could come to a place where there was nothing but peace. (SWLG)

Meditation of Immersion
This Fallanassi technique involves stilling one's mental and physical state to a profound level, allowing nearly direct contact with the White Current. While in this state, some Fallanassi can become invisible, while others can project images around them which have vivid clarity. (TT)

Meditative Canyon
Located on the planet Ambria, in the shadows of the Tiernvael Mountains, the Medtitative Canyon was discovered by the Jedi Master Thon, during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. It was also located near the site on which an ancient Sith obelisk was believed to have been erected. Despite this proximity to a Dark Side nexus, Master Thon and his students found that the Canyon offered them a place of peace and tranquility, where they could find spiritual solace from the rest of the galaxy. The Canyon itself was just over a kilometer in length, and as much as a kilometer deep at certain points. A surging river swept through the base of the Canyon, sometimes spanning the Canyon's half-kilometer width. At one end of the Canyon, this river tumbled over a steep waterfall. Despite its connection to the Light Side of the Force, the Meditative Canyon was almost devoid of life, with just a few neeks crawling along its rocky sides. (PJSB)

Medjector
This small, needle-like device was found in most medkits. It can be loaded with a medicinal cartridge, and the solution inside can be administered to a patient. They were simple to use. (SWJ10)

Medjev, Markre
This Jedi Knight studied the Force at Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Markre later helped the Jedi by scouting for the aliens on Bothawui, in the wake of the Battle of Fondor. 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, Markre was one of several Jedi Knights were bonded to seed-partners and provided with Sekotan starships. Markre was ultimately one of the handful of Jedi Knights to survive the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. (BP, SWI57, UF)

Medkit
This was the generic term used to describe a small first-aid kit that could be carried by an individual, or stored for use aboard a speeder or starship. (CPL)

Medlifter
This repulsor-equipped vehicle was used by the Grand Army of the Old Republic to transport injured clone troopers and Jedi Knights away from the battlefields of the Clone Wars, and carry them to the closest medical facilities. (MBS)

MedNet
This was a galaxy-wide newsnet and data repository that allowed doctors and physicians to access a wealth of medical data at any time, on virtually any subject. Topics that did not provide immediate answers could then be discussed with colleagues from across the galaxy. (DSTR)

Medon, Timon
This Pau'an was generally considered the leader who united all the various peoples of Utapau. (VD3)

Medon, Tion
This gray-skinned Pau'an served as the Portmaster of Pau City, on his homeworld of Utapau, for more than 200 years leading up to the time of the Clone Wars. Tion Medon could trace his family history back to Timon Medon. Although outwardly neutral, Medon was loyal to the Old Republic during the Clone Wars and in the wake of those hostilities. Thus, he was unprepared for the arrival of General Grievous and a small Separatist army, which quickly took control of Utapau and established a base of operations there. Grievous eliminated the ruling members of Utapau's government, which left Tion Medon ostensibly in control of his planet.

This sudden turn of events led Tion Medon to order his military forces into hiding, so that the Separatists wouldn't be able to discern the true military strength of the Utapauns. Thus, when Obi-Wan Kenobi suddenly appeared in Pau City, Tion Medon provided him with a wealth of information on Grievous' forces arrayed in the city. Tion Medon also placed the Utapaun military at the command of the Republic's forces, with Utai soldiers augmenting the clone troopers during the fight to control Pau City. Although Grievous was defeated by Obi-Wan Kenobi, the clone forces were given Order 66 by Darth Sidious. They turned on Kenobi, who managed to escape, then set about subjugating Utapau. Tion Medon was one of the first Pau'ans to be imprisoned, as his resourcefulness was well-known. (OWS, SWI77, ROF, VD3, SWDB, CHRN2)

Medoo, Fodo
This Rodian was a noted pazaak player who lived on the planet Kashyyyk, some four millennia before the Battle of Yavin. (KOTOR)

Medpac
Although this term was synonymous with the term medkit, a medpac was actually a self-contained package for sealing a wound and speeding up the healing process. Medpacs came in varying sizes that could be used to protect different sizes of injuries, from simply cuts to deep lacerations and even blaster hits. When opened and activated, the medpac delivered a combination of medicines and drugs that prevented infection and promoted clotting of the blood. The medpac's adhesive backing helped to seal off a wound from external contagions, and served to keep a wound from opening any further. (SWJ8, SM1)

Med'soto Architecture
This architectural style, popular during the height of the Old Republic, was characterized by bright lights, chrome accents, and tiled floors. Dexter's Diner, located on Coruscant during the last decades of the Old Republic, was a primary example of this style of architecture. (CCW)

Medspeeder
This was the generic term used to describe any landspeeder that was specially-designed for use as an ambulance or medical transport vehicle. (LJ8)

Med-splint
This small, repulsor-supported transport was designed to carry an injured being from the site of their injury to an ambulance. It was little more than a flat surface and an engine, with a small force-field generator which provided a way to immobilize broken limbs. (TDR)

Medstar Four
This Imperial medical frigate was stationed in orbit around the planet Despayre, during the construction of the first Death Star. (DSTR)

MedStar Nineteen
This was the name of the MedStar frigate, under the command of Admiral Tarnese Bleyd, which was dispatched by the Old Republic to support the Rimsoo facilities on the planet Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars. After Bleyd's death, the ship was turned over to Admiral Erel Kersos. The traitor Klo Merit made a trip to the MedStar shortly after Bleyd's death, and set off a series of charge that exploded in the ship's lower levels, crippling the ship's ability to act as a mobile hospital and relay to Coruscant. (MBS, MJH)

MedStar-class Frigate
This was the term used to describe the series of medical frigates that were used by the Old Republic to supply their remote bases and outposts during the Clone Wars. Developed by Kuat Drive Yards, the MedStar-class vessel was a self-contained dispensary, and traveled back and forth from a primary supply bsae to the planets it provided with all manner of drugs and materiel. Within the hull of one of these ships were state-of-the-art xeno- and bio-medical facilities that rivaled some of the best groundside hospitals of the Old Republic. Because these ships were excessively expensive, only a few were commissioned by the Old Republic. However, as the Clone Wars ground on, the need for more MedStar-class vessels forced the Republic to order more. (MBS)

Medtech Industries

Medwagon
This was the generic term used to describe any repulsor-equipped vehicle that was used to carry medical personnel and injured beings to and from a hospital or other medical facility. (LF9)

Medx homunculi
This species of clever mammal was once native to the jungles of Gravlex Med. Resembling thirty-centimeter-tall humanoids, the Medx homunculi moved through the trees with a chittering form of speech that many races found grating. The Anx were fond of telling stories of human visitors to Gravlex Med who came upon an Anx, a Shusugaunt, and a Medx. The humans immediately discounted the Anx and Shusugaunt as simply beasts, and tried to communicate with the Medx. This allowed the Shusugaunt to plot to kill the human, although the Anx eventually stepped in to stop the murder. (GMR7)

Medxec
This term was used on the planet Coruscant to describe the executives of major health-related organizations and hospitals, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN5)

Mee
This was one of the many species of scalefish which inhabited the oceans of Naboo. Mees were distinguished by their round, vertically flat bodies, and the poisonous spine that ran along the centerline of their bodies. The diagonal stripes on the mee's body served as camouflage, allowing the fish to blend into the sea grasses and reeds of Naboo's waterways. (IG1, CVD)

Mee, Yeesre
This Gran, a native of the planet Malastare, was the lead investigator into the events surrounding the death of Senator Aks Moe, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. Yeesre Mee traveled to Aargau to investigate the remains of the speeder in which Senator Moe had been traveling. While parts were identified from the debris, they were common enough that they failed to point to a suspect. However, it was later discovered that the bomb which killed Senator Moe had an exotic, DNA-screening trigger that could only fire if Senator Moe touched it. (HNN5)

Meekerdin-maa
This fifty-three-year-old Tin-Tin Dwarf served as the chief engineer aboard the transport vessel Uhumele, during the final years of the Old Republic. Known as Ratty to his crewmates, he had a tendancy to ramble on and one when talking, and often interjected his own words into others' conversations. Like the rest of his crewmates, Meekerdin-maa had no reason to trust the Galactic Empire that rose to power in the wake of the Clone Wars. Meekerdin-maa had been forced into working for Captain Schurk-Heren when the Separatists forced him out of business.

After fleeing New Plympto, Meekerdin-maa agreed to help Bomo Greenbark rescue his wife and daughter, who had been captured and taken to Orvax IV, where they were to be sold into slavery. In a surprising move, Ratty pledged his life to help Bomo. However, Ratty didn't anticipate having to dress up like a Jawa to infiltrate the slave markets, and struggled to keep his costume in place. It was during their search for Bomo's family that Ratty realized Dass Jennir was actually a Jedi Knight, and said "May the Force be with you" when Jennir left to locate Resa Greenbark. Their search for Resa led them to Dezono Qua's estate on Esseles, where Ratty put his electronics skills to work in an attempt to disable Qua's security droids, rendering them useless to act against Jennir when he confronted the man about Resa's whereabouts. After Jennir executed Qua for killing Resa, he left the crew of the Uhumele behind. Schurk-Heren set a course of Pizkoss, unaware that the planet had been overrun by the Empire. Ratty was with Bomo Greenbark and Janks when a group of stomtroopers tried to apprehend them. Ratty and Bomo managed to escape, but Janks was captured and taken for interrogation.

Meanwhile, Schurk-Heren made arrangements to deliver a mysterious cargo to Haka Hai on Mimban, unaware that the Ishi Tib had planned to double-cross them. However, Haka Hai found himself double-crossed as well, as Schurk-Heren had not brought the actual cargo, but a bomb that could be detonated if Haka Hai tried to pull out of the deal. Unfortunately for both beings, Lumbra chose the exchange to spring his own double-cross, and made off with the cargo. Haka Hai took the crew of the Uhumele prisoner, and began interrogating them to discover the location of the real cargo. Ratty was chained to a massive iron ball, and was unable to escape on his own. He was discovered by Crys Taanzer and Bomo Greenbark, who had escaped from their bonds, and they quickly freed him. The three of them then set an elaborate trap for Haka Hai and his thugs, which worked with surprising effectiveness. While Bomo remained behind to spring the trap, Ratty set off to free the rest of the crew from their cells. (DT1, DT2)

The statuettes turned out to be forgeries, even after Lando was forced to save the Meeks from a marauding rancor. It was later, when Lando tried to sell the statuettes, that he realized the Meeks had been more clever than he expected. They had used the fake statuettes to lure him to their settlement, knowing that he would defeat the rancor despite his own plans. (T20)

She was part of a small group that worked together on Cularin, until one of their members was captured and imprisoned by the Metatheran Cartel. Meelo led her inept comrades in a daring escape, which was bungled almost from the start. In the resulting chaos, Meelo managed to rescue her friend, but the Jawa known as Keth-Keth decided that they needed to cover their escape. Screaming "Free Kashyyyk" as loud as his vocoder would project, Keth-Keth called for people to rally around the Wookiee Liberation Front. Although it was a simple ruse, the Wookiee Liberation Front received a lot of press in the local holonewscasts, and eventually became a legitimate organization that funneled credits and supplies to help the Wookiees of Kashyyyk in their attempt to ousted the Separatist forces that were trying to take control of their homeworld.

Meenon
This Senali was the ruler of his people, some twelve years prior to the Battle of Naboo. The Senali preferred not to use titles, and Meenon was actually more of a figurehead than a true ruler. King Frane of Rutan accused Meenon of forcing Prince Leed of Rutan to stay on Senali, despite the fact that he had reached his sixteenth birthday. Meenon protested, claiming that Leed had acted on his own. He implored Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to make Frane understand the situation, which quickly escalated when Frane imprisoned Meenon's daughter, Yaana. Meenon, generally a peaceful man, threatened to retaliate if Frane persisted. When it was discovered that Leed was, in fact, acting on his own, the Jedi also discovered that Leed's brother, Taroon, had the skills to rule in his place. After getting all parties to talk to one another, King Frane realized that Meenon had been truthful and that Leed truly enjoyed Senali. Frane freed Yaana and allowed Leed to return to Senali, and proposed that Taroon marry Meenon's other daughter, Drenna, to help solidify the new-found peace between the two worlds. (SP)

While the Republic recognized the Meerians as a people and as the true owners of Bandomeer's resources, the Meerians were never given full control of the mining operations which were established on the planet. Instead, the Meerians merely shared in the profits. The Meerians evolved over time with adapt to the smoggy conditions brought on by excessive mining operations. Their noses and lungs worked together to filter out particulate matter and certain toxic chemicals. The hair of a Meerian individual was actually formed from metallic elements. (RF, WOTC, GORW)

Meewalh
This female Noghri served as Leia Organa Solo's bodyguard, during the period following the Battle of Duro. It was Meewalh who discovered Leia after she was hit with the wave of Force energy that accompanied her son Anakin's death at Myrkr. Meewalh remained loyal to Leia, continuing to guard her for the duration of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy.

As the Noghri continued to pay off their supposed debt, Leia came to trust Meewalh and one other Noghri, Cakhmaim, the most. These two Noghri accompanied Leia wherever she went for the next several years, until Leia finally tried to set off on her own. During Thrackan Sal-Solo's bid for Corellian independence, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, Leia and Han were forced to leave the Noghri behind, in an effort to avoid drawing attention to themselves as they worked behind the scenes to understand the situation in the galaxy.

The Noghri were reunited with the Solos in the wake of Sal-Solo's assassination, only to be thrust into the midst of the Heritage Council's bid to take control of the Hapes Consortium. During an intense battle between the Hapan Royal Navy and the Heritage Fleet, the Noghri took up positions in the Millennium Falcon's quad-alser turrets, where they managed to keep enemy ships from pounding the Falcon into space dust. However, in the midst of evading enemy ships, the Falcon took fire from the Star Destroyer Anakin Solo, which was being commanded by their own son, Jacen. Several of the Star Destroyer's blasts breeched the ship's shields, and exploded against the weapons turrets. Both Meewalh and Cakhmaim were killed in the blasts. The Solos were dismayed that the explosions had utterly incinerated their bodies, because they could not hold a proper funeral for their companions. (EVR, SBS, FH1, LF2, LF3, LF4)

In the wake of the Second Battle of Fondor, the Megador accompanied Darth Caedus and the Anakin Solo into the Transitory Mists, on a mission to hunt and destroy Luke Skywalker and the new Jedi Order. The ship had been armed with new long-range turbolasers that gave the Megador the ability to fire on a target well before it came within the other ship's weapons range.

Thus, every Er'stacian clan was almost continually at war with every other clan. Mace Windu, at the urging of the Jedi Council, traveled to Er'stacia to negotiate a peace among the clans, before they committed genocide. However, in order to appease the dim-witted Er'stacians, Master Windu was forced to destroy the Megalith.

Like others of his race, Meido was a thin being with a crimson face which sported thin, white lines that grew brighter as he angered. Meido had two fingers on each hand. He admitted to supporting the Empire during its height, but proclaimed that he was in support of Leia's Republic. When Dolph bombed the Senate Assembly Chamber, it was Meido who supported Leia's attempts to investigate the bombing. However, he was really manipulating her into a position where the official investigation would not meet his expectations. Meido called for an independent investigation, with himself as chairman, claiming that the official search was too slow and somewhat biased. This fit into Dolph's plans perfectly, for it allowed Dolph to plant more incriminating evidence against Leia and Han Solo. In the aftermath of the bombing, Meido's Senate position was officially voted on, and he was granted full Senatorial status. He then brought forth circumstantial evidence that linked Han Solo to the Senate bombing. He voiced strong opposition to Leia's rule, and condemned her for leaving the Republic to find Dolph on Almania. However, after Dolph's plans were exposed, Meido admitted his part in the plan and was very apologetic to Leia. (TNR)

Mekel
This man was one of the many ancient Dark Jedi who were stationed on Korriban, many millennia before the Battle of Yavin. Mekel was one of the many apprentices who were training under Uthar Wynn when a group of Jedi Knights managed to infiltrate Korriban. The Jedi were searching for clues to the whereabouts of Darth Malak, and were accepted as apprentices alongside Mekel. Mekel resented the intrusion, and spent as much time trying to sabotage his fellow apprentices as he did studying. When the former Master Jorak Uln captured Mekel and the Jedi in the tomb of Tulak Hord, Uln pitted them against each other in a devious competition. After the Jedi managed to escape from Uln and defeat him in combat, they let Mekel go free. Mekel could let go of his jealousy, however, and turned on the Jedi. In a brief fight, the Jedi dispatched Mekel as well. (KOTOR)

This Bothan was a native of Bothawui. His father was a teacher on the planet during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War, but was killed by Imperial forces on false charges of espionage. A member of the Alya clan, Koth Melan removed the Bothan honorific 'lya' in memory of his father, and chose not to replace it after the War was over. Melan rose to power in the Bothan resistance, and was placed in charge of the Bothan Spynet. The death of his father led Melan to slowly turn the Bothan Spynet's activities to support the Alliance. He was among the first to realize that the Bothans had access to the secret plans to the second Death Star, although he did not know the exact details. He sent word to Leia Organa to come to Bothawui and receive the information, but Leia was on Rodia and the message was delivered to Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian instead. They arrived, and after stealing the information from the Tuk Previz, took it to Kothlis. There, Koth Melan was killed in the firefight during an Imperial raid on the planet. (SE, SSE, SESB, HG)

He was off-world when the Empire swept in to destroy the Jedi Knights on Pelagon, and returned home to find that House Pelagia had been virtually wiped out by House Mecetti. He took command of the damaged medical frigate Benevolence and began coordinating a relief effort to save Pelagon. House Pelagia recognized Melchi's efforts by officially naming him the ship's Captain, and he took up the role of supplying Tapani Sector with medical support during its struggle to throw off the Imperial yoke. The Great Council funded a complete refit of the Benevolence, and Melchi found himself in command of a state-of-the-art, floating medical facility. Unknown to the other noble Houses, though, Melchi used his status as Captain of the medical frigate to travel throughout Tapani Sector and gather information for House Pelagia. (LOE)

Meldark

Meldazar
This planet was one of many that were visited by Ferus Olin, during the time he spent as a Jedi Padawan, learning about the Force from Siri Tachi during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Their mission turned deadly when they were forced to fight their way through the natives in order to escape. Ferus later revealed that he had felt a sense of pleasure in fighting and killing those who opposed the Jedi. He worried that it meant that he was tainted with the Dark Side of the Force, but Master Tachi explained that his questioning of his feelings was proof enough that he was still a Jedi. (LJ6)

Meld-fighting

Melee
This young girl was one of the many slaves owned by Gardulla the Hutt. She grew up on the desert world of Tatooine, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, but had no recollection of her parents or where she had been born. Growing up in this environment forced Melee to become tough, and she made friends with the local bully, Seek. She often made fun of the other slave children, although she found herself secretly adoring Anakin Skywalker. Melee served on Gardulla's cleaning staff, until her skills as a mechanic earned her a position on Gardulla's garage.

With her knowledge, Melee outwardly stated that Anakin Skywalker's homemade podracer would never fly. Secretly, however, Melee dreamed that Anakin would win the Boonta Eve podrace and gain his freedom, so that he could later return to Tatooine and free the slaves. After Anakin's departure, Melee became friends with Shmi Skywalker, who taught the young girl to read and write. After Gardulla's death, Melee was sold to Bryyn Woolery, although she remained in Mos Espa for several years before Wollery moved to Mos Eisley. There, Melee was eventually freed when Woolery became wealthy, although she continued to work for him as a delivery agent.

Several years later, she learned of the existence of a boy named Luke Skywalker. Melee set out to locate the boy, hoping that he would know something about Anakin. However, after tracing Luke to the moisture farm of Owen and Beru Lars, Melee found the homestead a charred ruin. She never learned if Luke was connected to Anakin. (E1, SWDB)

Meleenium
Found only on the planet Af'El, meleenium was the primary component of durasteel. (GG4)

Melford Star Academy
This satellite of the Imperial Academy was located in the city of Melford, on Lianna. On the planet, it was also refered to as the First Star Academy. (ML)

Melida
This people was one of the two major factions which inhabited the planet of Melida/Daan. Throughout the history of their planet, the Melida had seen the Daan as feral beasts, and used a legacy of perceived wrong-doings to continue their civil war. The older members of both societies fought to avenge losses sustained centuries before, using their children as laborers in munitions factories while they killed each other in battle. They had been involved in a war with the Daan for thirty years before Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn traveled to their planet to rescue Tahl, who had been captured by the Melida. (DOD)

Melida Council
The main governmental body ruling over the Melida people during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (DOD)

Melida Liberation Force

Melida/Daan
This planet was divided by an intense civil war some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. Named for the two factions that fought for its surface, Melida/Daan was a rugged world of rocky hills and scrub vegetation. The two factions each named the planet after tehmselves during the thirty-year struggle, and the Old Republic elected to use both names when it catalogued the planet. (DOD)

Melida/Daan Unified Congress Building
This edifice, located in the city of Zehava, became the base of the government formed by The Young after they defeated the elders of the Daan and the Melida. Before the end of the war, the building had been used by the leaders of both the Daan and the Melida, in an attempt to jointly rule the planet. Their inbred differences kept them from forming a cohesive government, and the building remarkab;ly survived three years of fighting before The Young defeated them. (UP)

During the New Republic's evacuation of Gyndine, Melisma and three others from her family were allowed to leave the planet on the last rescue ship, and set out on their own to find Droma. They were then stranded on Ruan and forced to work for Salliche Ag, which was claiming that they were helping the refugees out by giving them places to live in return for labor. However, Gaph, another of Droma's kin, worked with R'vanna to forge transport documents and get them off Ruan. They hoped to reach Abregado-rae, but were stranded on Fondor by the crew of the Trevee. (JE)

Melk

Mellaha, Arrejis
This Squib ran Serooin's Gear, on the planet Betha II, shortly after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Mellaha, like many aliens who lived in the Outer Rim at this point in galactic history, was wary of the presence of humans or the New Republic. However, he harbored neither group any ill-will. In fact, he was prospering from selling illegal goods to his patrons, primarily because of bans imposed by the Republic. While not directly cooperating, Mellaha helped a group of Republic agents search out the Kaarenth Dissension by warning them to stay away from certain areas of Betha II's primary starport. (SWJ8)

In an effort to gain favor with Emperor Palpatine, Mellichae enlisted the aid of the Nightsisters of Dathomir to launch an attack on the hidden Village of Aurilia. The villagers fought back bravely, and finally repelled Mellichae's forces. Mellichae and many of his followers were captured and taken into custody, to be imprisoned within Aurilia's boundaries. In the wake of these attacks, the Village of Aurilia disappeared, as its inhabitants used the Force to hide it from normal view. (SWGAL, SWG2P)

Melne, Dren
This man was a native of Selton, on the planet Naboo, and served the Royal Naboo Security Force shortly before the Battle of Naboo. He held the rank of Lieutenant and was a starfighter pilot within Bravo Squadron. Like his wingmate, Essara Till, he had spent some time away from Naboo in order to gain skills with other starships. They never met while off-planet, but a relationship developed between them after they both returned to Naboo. They tried to keep their personal relationship outside their professional relationship, but Dren was something of an incurable romantic. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Dren was offered the chance to work for the governor of Agamar, assembling a new fighter contingent to protect the planet. When Essara chose to remain on Naboo, Dren was forced to act on his own. During the defense of station TFP-9, he revealed that his loyalties had shifted toward Captain Sorran's forces and their mysterious employer. Dren used his piloting skills to attack Echo One, and chased the harried trainee across the heavens in an effort to break her will. Dren also hoped to have Essara order her pilots to stand down, so that several N-1 starfighters could be captured for analysis. Essara was forced to disable his Naboo Police Cruiser with a pair of torpedoes. When Essara continued to defy Dren, and even locked her missile launchers on his ship, Captain Sorran decided that Dren was unable to deliver the N-1 fighters as promised. In return for his failure, Sorran opened fire on Dren's ship and destroyed it, killing Dren in the process. (SFT)

Melnor Spear
This was the alias used by Daric LaRone and the stormtroopers of the so-called Hand of Judgment squad to describe the Gillia, the heavily-modified Suwantek TL-1800 they stole from Major Dreflin on the Reprisal. The adopted the name after completing a mission in which they were commandeered by the Emperor's Hand, Mara Jade, who learned of their true identity but let them go free anyway. (A)

Melodese
This was the native, spoken language of the Melodie race. (PH)

Melodian
This was the native language of the Melodie race. (EGP)

Melodie
This race of intelligent, amphibious humanoids inhabited the warmer climates of Yavin 8's equatorial mountains. They hatched from eggs that were laid by elder Melodies and guarded by Melodie youths until they emerge, starting out life as air-breathing beings which resemble human children. At the age of twenty, all Melodies underwent a transformation - known as the Changing Ceremony - in which they metamorphosed to become an amphibious creature. The metamorphosis could only take place in a ceremonial pool on Yavin 8, and involved the Melodie changing into a mermaid-like creature that was destined to live out its life in the pools of Yavin 8. Their legs merged to form a fish-like tail, and they grew gills on their ribcages. As newborn children, and as newly-transformed adults, the Melodies consumed trico mush until they could digest the silver-backed fish. As a people, the Melodies were unassuming unless provoked, which often happened when a traveler was stranded on Yavin 8. The Melodies valued their privacy, and chose to remain anonymous to the rest of the galaxy. If provoked, Melodies could prove to be skilled hunters, and used their natural ability to move about in the water to track and kill their enemies. Some eighteen years after the Battle of Endor, the Melodies decided to make their presence known, after Anakin Solo befriended the young female known as Lyric. However, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Yavin 8 was devastated by the alien invaders, and the Melodie civilization was all but exterminated. Only a handful of Melodies were offworld during the attack. (LW, AE, PH, GORW)

Melodium
A musical instrument played by Talon Kaarde. (TFE)

Melody Friendship
This association of musicians and agents was formed during the last decades of the Old Republic, to address the security needs and concerns of artists traveling throughout the galaxy during the increasingly dangerous times which led to the Stark Hyperspace Conflict and the Clone Wars. (HNN5)

Melody Lake
This deep body of water was located on the slopes of Sistra Mountain, on Yavin 8, and was the ancestral home of the Melodie race. (EGP)

Melon Droid
This was a common term used to describe the buzz droids of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, since the droids had a shell that split open - like a ripe melon - when they attacked a starship. (SWI81)

Melona
This was the seventh month of the Tapani local calendar, which mapped almost directly to the Coruscant local calendar. (PGT)

Meloque
This Ho'Din was a scientist who was studying the unusual environment of the planet Caluula, when it was attacked and captured by the Yuuzhan Vong some 25 years after the Battle of Endor. Meloque had spent a great deal of time among the Yuuzhan Vong, and had learned not only their language but many of their customs. When the Galactic Alliance needed to infiltrate Caluula, Meloque continued to play her role as scientist, and went so far as to obtain an identification lumpen for herself and her companions. Among her team were Han Solo, Judder Page, and Kyp Durron. She was dismayed to learn that the winged-stars were dying mysteriously, and even more dismayed to learn that Wraw had been inserted onto the team to verify the efficiency of a new strain of the Alpha Red virus. Meloque railed against Wraw and the callousness of the Galactic Alliance, but was unprepared for the realization that a group of Yuuzhan Vong Shapers had fled Caluula, more than likely carrying the Alpha Red virus back to Coruscant. (UF)

Meloria
This woman, a former Jedi Knight, grew up on Corellia some thirty years before the Battle of Naboo. She was identified as a potential Jedi within months of being born, and was whisked away to Coruscant for training. However, as she grew older, Meloria became bitter about havign ben taken from her family because of her "predestined fate," and never fully embraced the Jedi Orer as her family. Her prowess with the Force manifested itself in her amaingly fast reflexes, and she found enjoyment only in the more physical aspects of her training. After accidentally killing an innocent bystander during a mission to bring a bounty hunter to justice, she abandoned the Jedi Order and fled to Drall, swearing never to use the Force again. To ensure that she kept this vow, Meloria placed herself into a cryogenic chamber. Preserved for eternity, Meloria maintained a belief that the Force would revivie her, if her skills would be necessary to do a greater good. (CCW)

Melru, Denka
This was the name of a noted Adarian individual. (UANT)

Meltdown
This alcoholic beverage was similar to a Reactor Core, but was made from Spice Liquor and Lum. The Meltdown was considered a more sophisticated drink than the Reactor Core, but was equally as potent, since the Lum allowed drinkers to consume more alcohol without experiencing an overdose. However, the Lum seemed to enhance the narcotic effects of the Spice Liquor, giving the drink its potency. (GG9, OWS)

Meltdown Cafe, The
A well-kept dining establishment in the Corellian sector of Nar Shaddaa's spaceport. It was one of the three most popular hangouts for Corellian spacers, and was known as a great place to get a meal. (DE2)

Melter
This was a term used by the rebel fighters on the planet Mindor to describe the unusual, humanoid-shaped forms of meltmassif stone that sometimes appeared in the caves and tunnels that bored through the planet's crust. Melters were essentially tiny, energy-based beings that lived in the molecules of the meltmassif stone. They formed themselves from the meltmassif stone, using the crystalline matrix to create their sold and semi-solid forms. Melters were feared by the Mindorese, since they often attacked the humans who lived on the planet, using an electrical discharge that was similar to a stun bolt from a blaster to incapacitate their targets. In other cases, Melters simply allowed their solid form to flow into a semi-solid material that oozed around another being's body, them returned to a solid state to trap the other being in stone. However, if attacked with a high-powered jolt of electricity, a Melter would be unable to keep their solid form, and the meltmassif stone flowed into a puddle until the Melter could regain consciousness. Melters were feared by the Mindorese because any being who was captured by the Melters was never seen again, at least alive. A handful of Mindorese discovered that the Melters took their captives to underground crypts, where they were placed in meltmassif stone until while they died.

Luke Skywalker was forced to intermingle his mind with the matrix of the Melters during his attempt to rescue Leia Organa and defeat Lord Cronal. Luke had originally viewed the energy-based beings as life-pebbles, small spheres of existence that lived in the meltmassif. However, after escaping from the Pawning Table and returning to rescue his sister, Luke came to see these beings as akin to stars. Although stars always died, their deaths created the atoms that became the building blocks for new life. The beings hidden in the meltmassif were just like stars, essentially the same, but with distinct differences that made them unique. However, these beings were incredibly ancient, and lacked the energy to shine as they had during their youths. Although he plunged himself into the Dark to communicate with them, he chose to appear as a bright and glowing star, attracting the beings to himself and helping them to understand that there was more to existence than the Dark. Luke discovered that these beings were part of a single entity - known as the Meltermind - that was made up of individuals and nodes of individuals, working in larger and larger networks that served the entire group. Although they lived on Mindor, these beings evolved on Taspan II. In the immediate wake of the Big Crush, the beings experienced a Golden Age of Paradise, with their collective intelligence spreading outward through the Taspan System.

However, those beings who crashed onto Mindor were forced to confront something they had never considered: their own mortality. As chunks of Taspan II moved through Mindor's atmosphere, they were subjected to the searing heat of friction, and many Melters were killed as the meltmassif in which they lived was incinerated. Those that survived planetfall were no better off, as they were virtually enslaved by Lord Cronal, who forced them into the Dark in order to serve his plans. Cut off from the rest of their network of beings, the Melters on Mindor did not have the strength to reach out to their fellow beings for assistance. These stranded Melters had hoped to gain some comfort by integrating their society with that of the Mindorese, and began collecting them and storing them in crypts. Instead, the humans - especially the Imperials serving Lord Cronal - took their advances as attacks, and began using energy weapons to alter the meltmassif stone. The Melters chose to fight back, although they had not concept of war. Instead, they viewed the elimination of the Mindorese as a form of pest control.

When Luke Skywalker discovered the story of the Melters, he was forced to find a way to convince them that not all humans were as cruel as Lord Cronal. Drawing on the Force, Luke insinuated himself into their consciousness, shining like a beacon of hope. In this way, he was able to gain their assistance in evacuating Shadow Base, since the Melters used their ability to alter their shape to seal the chambers of the base against the vacuum of space while the humans were transferred to the Lancer and the Paleo. (LSSM)

Meltermind
This was the term used by Luke Skywalker to describe the collective intelligence of the Melters that had once been native to Taspan II. The Meltermind was made up of all the individual energy-beings known as Melters, and was broken down into smaller and smaller networks of individuals. The Meltermind was damaged by the Big Crush, when many Melters perished when the meltmassif stone in which they lived was incinerated by the atmosphere of Mindor or the furnace of the star Taspan. (LSSM)

Meltmassif
This volcanic stone was found on the planet Mindor, but it was discovered to have been originally native to Taspan II. It was rich in silica, and was named for the fact that it could be melted down into a form of black glass. The newest Pawns who served Lord Shadowspawn used neural stunners, which generated a burst of electromagnetic energy, to temporarily break down the crystalline structure of the meltmassif, allowing the stone to become pliable enough to mold into Pawning Tables. When the stone cooled, its crystalline matrix reformed, making the meltmassif once again solid. More advanced Pawns, as well as Shadowspawn himself, seemed to be able to use the Force to cause the same reaction, merel waving their hand near the stone to make it move and flow as they desired. In this way, Shadowspawn and his closest minions could seal off their chambers as they deemed necessary or creating new portals as needed. What few beings realized was that the meltmassif stone was actually a form of living crystal. Each neurocrystalline molecule seemed to serve as the home for a tiny, energy- based lifeform, and it was these alien beings that Lord Cronal and his minions used to control the stone. In their physical form of molded meltmassif, these beings were known as Melters. The energy field produced by the beings living in the meltmassif stone caused all manner of interference, and limited the range of comlinks and other communications devices. When he was trapped in the Pawning Table, Luke Skywalker sensed these beings through the Force, calling them life-pebbles because they appeared to be smooth spheres of energy that lacked any perception of themselves as individual beings. (LSSM)

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

Melvar
A native of the planet Kuat, Melvar was a former Imperial Navy General who aligned with the Warlord Zsinj shortly after the Empire's defeat at Endor. He was one of what many New Republic Intelligence officers called "patriotic psychopaths," those Imperial officers so dedicated to the Empire that they became unstable and had to be removed from power before they could hurt their subordinates. His fanatic support of the Empire impressed Zsinj, who took him under his wing after Melvar was kicked off the Destabilization task force he was worked on because of his ardor for the Empire. Later, Melvar had platinum blades implanted in his fingers, in place of his fingernails. He took some time to get used to them, as evidenced by the amount of scarring which was present on his face. Melvar was killed on Dathomir by Gethzerion when she used the Dark Side of the Force to eliminate an entire platoon of Imperial stormtroopers and their officers, who were poised to bring Han Solo to Zsinj. (IF, CPL, CTD)

Melvirre
This spacer was an associate of Caira's, during the Galactic Civil War. (SSR)

Melx
This fair-haired boy joined the Khuiumin Survivors, shortly after the destruction of the original Khuiumin pirates. He served Jacob Nive as communications officer aboard the Backstab during the Alliance mission known as Operation Elrood. (OE)

Mem
This was Dev Sibwarra's nickname for his mother, Ydra Kilwallen Sibwarra. (TBSB)

Membe
This Aqualish was a member of a swoop gang that worked on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. In the aftermath of Luke Skywalker's escape from Mos Eisley, Membe became increasingly nervous with the growing number of Imperial troops in the area. (WOA6)

Membibi
This small creature, native to the rocky outcroppings found on the planet Ansion, fed almost primarily on insects. Its four-legged body was hairless, with a whiplike tail and a drooping neck that allowed the membibi to keep its snout near the ground. (APS)

Membrosia
This thick, amber-colored liquor was produced by most hives of the Colony. It was as potent as it was sweet, and made most beings feel warm throughout their entire bodies. Pure membrosia was produced by a bantha-sized variant of the Kind, and was exuded as a dark fluid from their swollen abdomen. Workers then consumed the fluid and processed it internally, further refining the membrosia into small, waxy balls that were deposited from their own abdomens. The balls were then transported throughout the hive, and were later heated to the melting point and served as a beverage.

Membrosia was found in many cantinas during the early years of the New Order. In the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, a more potent variety of membrosia - known simply as black membrosia - was produced by the Gorog hive. (DN1, DN2, DSTR)

Membrosia Giver
This was the name given to the immense variants of the Kind that existed solely to produce pure membrosia. About the size of a bantha, the membrosia givers attached themselves to the ceiling of their chamber with their thick legs, and were attended by swarms of workers. As the membrosia giver exuded the raw membrosia in the form of a dark fluid that flowed in large drops from their abdomen, the workers lapped up the drops and further refined them in their own bodies. Membrosia givers obtained sustenance by drawing in nutrients via a group of feeding tubes that surrounded their heads. (DN1)

Memcha-Badawzi
This young Twi'lek female was the daughter of crimelord Abdi-Badawzi. She was spoiled as an only child, and was born on Socorro. Shortly before her eighteenth birthday, she fled the planet in an effort to find her own way. She found work as a spice smuggler, and later joined the Alliance as a fighter pilot and marksman. However, she was captured by the Empire and sent to Vizcarra. During the transport, she was forced to share a cell with an albino Wookiee named Syychi. Memcha saw the Wookiee's resignation to her lot in life, and began speaking of freedom. Her words inspired both of them, and they arranged to have the slaves on board the ship revolt against their Imperial captors. After overtaking the ship and freeing the slaves, Memcha and Syychi fled to Neftali to meet with Abdi-Badawzi. Memcha's father placed her in charge of the Cordel Cove starport on Neftali, with Syychi as her second-in-command. Memcha, like her father, had an unusual skin coloration, with a deep sable pigment to her flesh. (BSS)

MEMD-2
This series of multi-environment mining droids was produced by Industrial Automaton during the New Order. These huge machines measured twenty meters in length and stood eight meters tall. MEMD-2 droids moved about on a pair of heavy-duty treads, which allowed them to navigate virtually any solid terrain. These automata were usually deployed in large groups, making quick work of the extraction and recovery of ores and metals in remote locations. MEMD-2 droids were equipped with a pair of beam drills and a cutting laser to remove unwanted rubble, and they had four heavy lifting arms to gather in their finds. (FBS)

Me'me'
This was Numa's nickname for her mother. It was believed that Me'me' was captured and held prisoner as part of the living shield used by commander droid TX-20 to protect the proton cannons that defended the Separatist base. (CWOC1)

Memily
This young woman served the royal house of Alderaan, during the early years of the New Order. A native of the rural areas of Alderaan, Memily was the daughter of a family friend, and served as one of the many caretakers who looked after Leia Organa, during her infancy. During an outing to Grasslands Park, Memily was standing next to a fence that was damaged, unaware that it might give way underneath her. Leia, who was playing with a laserball, sensed Memily was in danger, and threw her laserball at the fence. The impact of the laserball caused the fence to shake, and Memily realized that it was potentially hazardous.

Memily related the story of the event to her friends in the royal household, since it had seemed uncanny how Leia knew exactly what part of the fence to hit. Word of the story reached the ears of Deara, the sister of Queen Breha, who had been secretly working for the newly-formed Empire. She relayed the story to her contacts, prompting Inquisitors Hydra and Ferus Olin to travel to Alderaan and investigate the event. (LJ9)

Memily's Baskets
These small, filled pastries were originally created by Memily, who worked as a caretaker in the royal household of Alderaan, during the early years of the New Order.

Mem'Kabarr
This dense forest was located on the planet Almania. (EGP)

Memm, Gallo
This eccentric crimelord owned Streysel Island, on the planet Vaynai. An avid collector of rare artifacts, Memm made his fortune on Vaynai by allowing island businesses to profit from tourism and offworlder spending. He then levied hefty taxes on local businesses, maintaining a balance between thievery and laxity. To supplement his income, Memm maintained the Shrine of Kooroo - located on the site where his cliffside estate was built - as a place of pilgrimage. With his credits, Memm collected a treasure trove of unique art, weapons and armor, and his collection rivalled that of many museums. A team of freelance thieves once tried to steal a suit of Felenar Armor from his collection, during the height of the New Order. While the thieves were caught by Memm's Weequay guards, he admired their skill and determination, and hired them to help him acquire more pieces for his gallery. (GMR8)

Memnii
This was the plural form of the Caamas word memnis. (IJ, CN2)

Memnis
This was a Caamasi term which describes any single memory that became strong and almost tangible to them, such as the birth of a child or meeting someone famous. The plural of this word was memnii.Because of the strength of the memnis, which some Caamasi described as nearly holographic but much more tangible, these memories could also be shared with others through the mingling of genetic material. This ability to pass memnii, however, seemed to fade after three or four generations of separation. The Caamasi also discovered that they could share memnii with Jedi Knights who became their friends. (IJ, CN2)

Memorial Corridor
This expansive hallway was created in the Imperial Palace on Coruscant after the Galactic Civil War was ended. It contained a large number of holographic statuary depicting the heroes of the Alliance, and was located just outside the main Senate Chamber. A large sign was hung in the corridor which proclaimed the number of days since the New Republic had fired a shot at an enemy. The sign was removed in the days following the Yevethan Purge, when Republic ordered the Fifth Battle Group to blockade Doornik-319. Behn-kihl-nahm ordered the sign removed until the conflict was over. (BTS, SOL)

Memory Bone Chamber
This room was a sacred place to most Trandoshan males. It was in these chambers that the males store the bones of their victims. The first bones many males place in their chamber were those of their father, whom they must kill and eat in order to move up in the social structure the Trandosha. The bones of other opponents were stored for remembrance and reflection. Each chamber was lit with a collection of sacred candles, to highlight the many conquests to whatever gods the male worships. (MA)

Memory Capsule
Produced in the wake of the destruction of Alderaan, Memory Capsules were used by the survivors to leave small gifts in the asteroid field found where the planet used to be. Survivors, in a ritual that became known as Returning, would bring the capsules with them. They would fill the capsules with items to honor their dead, and eject them into the asteroids. (BW)

These droids required constant cooling, and were given built-in heat-dissipation systems. (EGD)

Memory Flush
Also called a memory wipe, this procedure involves erasing the accumulated data and programming in a droid or computer. (SW)

Memory Moth
This species of flying insect was native to the planet New Holstice. Memory moths were believed to be almost immortal, and they were capable of repeating a short phrase with patterned beating of their wings. It was for this reason that the inhabitants of New Holstice used memory moths when they created a wondrous monument to the Jedi Knights. A new moth was added to the display when a Jedi was killed, and the Jedi's name was whispered to the moth as it was released. In this way, the moth kept the memory of the Jedi's sacrifice alive for all to see. (RBJ)

Memory of Ithor
This New Republic Interdictor cruiser was one of the many ships assigned to General Wedge Antilles and the Mon Mothma, during the final stages of the New Republic's battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. It was commanded by Pash Cracken at the time.

Most of the crew as able to evacuate before the ship exploded in a mighty fireball. (FP, LF6)

Memory Plaque
This ancient information storage device was used several millennia before the Battle of Yavin. These crystalline plates were impregnated with data storage devices, and could contain relatively huge amounts of information.

Only a few universities and archaeological corporations managed to save plaque readers for modern use. (SWJ15)

Memory Rod
A long, plastic device which houses a huge number of data chips, a memory rod was an outdated form of communication. (LCF)

Memory Rub
This was a technique used by the Adepts of the White Current to create a Force illusion in the mind of another individual.

The average mem-stik will hold about 14 Bz of data. In order to remove the mem-stik and transport the data, it must be connected to a portable power source. (CFG)

Menagerie, The
This collection of unique galactic creatures was maintained by the Five. It was contained within the confines of the Hellhoop.

Menahu
This was the native langauge of the Menahuun race. (UANT)

Menahuun
This race of furred humanoids was believed to have been extinct by the xenoscientists of the Old Republic. However, the Menahuun race managed to thrive on their homeworld of Lamaredd, evolving over many millennia before the arrival of offworlders nearly destroyed them. The planet Lamaredd was discovered by the crew of a starship dispatched by Outer Rim Oreworks, which had to crashland on the planet. The survivors of the crash, led by Hugo Bartyn, eventually prospered in their settlement of Bartyn's Landing, and began to consider the Menahuun as pests and nuisances. Many Menahuun were killed for sport, and those that managed to escape the predation fled into the wilderness. Their once-peaceful existence shattered, the Menahuun began building up their collective strength, hoping one day to take back their homeworld from the settlers. During the 500 years leading up to the Battle of Yavin, their civilization had decayed into a competitive tribal society which came as a result of their struggle for survival. The Menahuun chose to re-emerge shortly after the Battle of Naboom after chafing under the predations of Guther Bartyn. The average Menahuun stood just over a meter in height, and their bodies were covered with wiry fir. Their long limbs and hands with opposable digits allowed the Menahuun to move swiftly through the trees. (UANT, GMR7)

After wiping out the corrupt officials who destroyed her life, Mendegar was hired by Captain Kullan Velerinden as a hired gun. Rumors told of a romantic relationship between then, but Mendegar maintained a strictly business relationship with Velerinden. (SWJ15)

Mendicat
A scrap mining and refining station under Imperial control during the Galactic Civil War, it fell out of its orbit and was destroyed when Sulamar misprogrammed its computer tracking system. The station fell into a star, and Sulamar barely survived himself. After fleeing the remnants of the Empire, Sulamar twisted the story of Mendicat to puff up his false General's rank. He claimed that he commanded a huge massacre at the station, claiming it a victory for the Empire. (DS)

Unknown to Feln, Mendu had escaped to Corellia an a cargo contained that appeared to be a shipment of dreeka fish, with the help of Marn Hierogryph and The Camper. (KOR1)

Mendu Box
This was the name used by Marn Hierogryph to describe the disguised escape pod that was created by The Camper and sold to the noted criminal Zovius Mendu, allowing Mendu to flee the planet Taris during the height of the Mandalorian Wars. Mendu had been targetted by the Jedi Master known as Feln, and needed to escape the planet before he was apprehended.

Mensix Mining Facility
This mining facility was one of the few that remained active on the planet Mustafar, in the wake of the Clone Wars. According to Imperial propaganda, many mines on Mustafar were badly damaged in an industrial accident, a story that covered up the destruction caused by Darth Vader. However, the Mensic facility was one of a handful that were kept barely operational by the Empire, to provide raw materials for the construction of the first Death Star. Vader himself came to the facility to enforce the production of more and more output from the facility, forcing chief adminstrator Milo to agree to a deal in which the facility produced larger amounts of raw material for little or no increase in pay or supplies. (SWGAL)

Menstar Motors
Manufacturers of repulsorlift vehicles, such as the 22-series patrol scooter. (GG7)

Mentir, Barb
This one-eyed Weequay was a member of Hondo Ohnaka's pirate gang, during the era of the Clone Wars. Mentir lost his eye in a knife fight, and chose to leave the empty socket as a sign of his toughness. Mentir was one of the few confidantes of Turk Falso, and helped the traitorous pirate with his plans to overthrow Hondo. Mentir piloted the disc-shaped Flarestar-class starship that shot down Senator Kharrus' shuttle, when Kharrus and Jar Jar Binks arrived on Florrum to negotiate for Count Dooku's ransom. However, because the crash of the shuttle killed Senator Kharrus, Mentir was loudly berated by Falso, who knew that the death of the Senator would bring the Republic to Florrum to investigate his whereabouts. Despite this, Mentir remained loyal to Falso's plans, and when Dooku escaped from captivity, the pair tried to escape before they were noticed. Dooku found them, however, and used the Force to choke Falso and coerce him into shooting Mentir dead. (CWTV12)

His skills as a warrior were rivaled by only a few individuals, and these often lived in fear that Menugg would eventually invade their territory. His prowess was eventually discovered by a group of traveling agents of the gang known as Vurrha's Blood, who convinced Menugg to leave Gamorr and join their organization. They told Menugg of the riches and glory he could achieve in the galaxy, and Menugg gratefully accepted their offer. He join Vurrha's Blood shortly after an assassination attempt on Vurrha's life failed, and he remained loyal to them for the rest of his life.

Meplin, Chils
This man served as the Prex of the Corporate Sector Authority during the height of the New Order. He was investigated on charges of corporate espionage by Fiolla, after the office of the Auditor-General discovered he had been selling CSA secrets to the Empire. Meplin's scheme was convoluted, as he used Commex as a front for his actions. Naven Crel nearly caught up with him, but was killed on Abo Dreth by Akeeli Somerce, who was working for Meplin. Fiolla agreed to continue Crel's investigation. (SWDB, OWS)

Mepps
This was an expression of welcome used by many alien races. (MC58)

Mer, Duttes
This short, squat, gnarled human served as the provincial governor of Rafa IV during the early years of the New Order. Duttes Mer was working with the Tund Sorcerer Rokur Gepta to try and find the Mindharp of the lost Sharu race, hoping to gain complete control of the Rafa System and its exports. The pair learned about the Bearer and the Emissary after hiring Ottdefa Osuna Whett to investigate the legends and history of the Toka and the Sharu. It was Gepta who planned to set up Vuffi Raa to be the Emissary. Mer and Gepta then sent Whett to the Oseon System to find a gambler who fit the description of the Bearer. He succeeded in finding Lando Calrissian, whom Mer and Gepta realized was a perfect candidate for the Bearer. As soon as Lando arrived on Rafa IV, Mer had his deputies arrest him on trumped-up charges of transporting mynocks into the system and illegal landing. Mer then gave the smuggler a chance for freedom, but only if he agreed to help locate the Mindharp. Gepta offered Lando a load of life-crystals as well, which Duttes Mer was reluctant to part with. When Lando eventually returned with the Mindharp, Mer decided to keep it for himself. He believed that its purpose was to control the minds of others, and he activated in hopes of controlling even Rokur Gepta. Unfortunately for Mer, the Mindharp was not the wondrous tool they had hoped it was. Instead, it set about freeing the intelligences contained in the life-crystals in the Rafa System and rearranging the system to allow the Sharu to return. The Mindharp then drained the life energy from Mer, who appeared to "melt" into the Mindharp, and was never seen again. (LCM)

mer-9

This Mon Calamari was one of the Commanders of the Separatist armed forces, serving under Count Dooku during the Battle of Kamino. Considered one of the greatest Mon Calamari commanders of his time, Merai was offered a chance to win the struggle for Kamino by the Corporate Alliance. A datafile containing the coordinates of the main reactor for the Kaminoans' cloning facility had been captured, and Merai was offered the chance to destroy it. Success would mean that the supply of clone troopers would be cut off, all but ensuring a Separatist victory. With little background and no supporting evidence, Merai had to act on gut instinct. The Battle of Kamino began well for the Separatists, until Merai's ship was shot down. This only hardened his resolve to act, and Merai himself took the Shark out to destroy the reactor. However, the information proved to be false, and Merai found himself surrounded by Jedi starfighters. Rather than worry about the reactor, Merai drew the Jedi away from his forces, allowing them to continue to pound the defenses of the Kaminoans. When the battle appeared lost, Merai sacrificed himself to allow his ships to escape. In a last-ditch effort, he flew the Shark into the midst of the hyperspace rings used by the Jedi Delta-7 Aethersprite fighters, destroying many while giving his forces the opportunity to retreat. (OWS, RDK)

Merak
This native of the planet Alderaan was one of the few who were off-planet when the Death Star destroyed the world. He later joined the Alliiance, and served with Stevan Makintay.

MeraStel
This major Darpa Sector conglomerate grew in power and wealth during the New Order. They kept costs low by employing alien labor at minimum wages. When the Faceless began attacking Imperial operation on Esseles, the non-Human workforce of MeraStel went on strike after hearing allegations of Imperial pro-Human stances. The strike brought the corporate giant to a virtual standstill, as only droid labor was left to continue working. The strike was ended when Kanno Sebak negotiated a truce with Hall President Ralle. (SWJ9)

Merasy
This Nova-Drive #3-Z freighter was originally owned by Iep Tumu, before he was forced to turn it over to the authorities on Brentaal. The ship was then sold to the Khil trader Geld Bernar, who modified it before selling to finance some investments. It was purchased by Vacasor, who barely kept the ship running. One thing remained constant for the Merasy, and that was that each of her owners was a poor mechanic, and never had the ship upgraded. (SS)

Mercador, Nan
This large, four-armed, red-skinned humanoid was the bartender at the Golden Guff on Coruscant, during the years surrounding the Clone Wars. Mercador was a known associate of several bounty hunters, and often assisted in the capture of wanted beings by luring them into the Golden Cuff and holding them there long enough to be captured. It was in this way that ten-year-old Boba Fett was nearly caught, just after the Battle of Geonosis. However, the child was "rescued" by Aurra Sing, who had been hired by Count Dooku to recover the boy. (BF1)

Mercantile Guild
This association of traders and interstellar businessbeings was formed during the last years of the Old Republic, and continued to work with the Empire in the wake of the Clone Wars. The Mercantile Guild oversaw trade between star systems, helping to regulate the exchange rates and other financial factors that influenced commerce.

Mercenary Guild of Coyn
This was the foremost guild of Coynite mercenaries working in the Elrood Sector of the galaxy, at the height of the New Order. Its roots were founded by Arl'Toral many thousands of years before the Battle of Yavin, and the Guild was officially affiliated with the ruling En'Tra. During the era of the Galactic Civil War, the Mercenary Guild of Coyn was loosely allied with the Galactic Empire, since the Coynites considered the Empire to be the legitimate power in the galaxy. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, the Guild decided to recognize the New Republic as a legal entity, and Republic emissaries were allowed to meet with the Guild's leaders. After learning of the atrocities that were carried out by Emperor Palpatine, King Im'Toral VX refused to accept any more Imperial contracts for the Mercenary Guild of Coyn. He then agreed to lease some 75,000 Coynite warriors to the New Republic military, assisting with the liberation of planets throughout the Mid Rim. (PG3, SWJ15, OWS)

Mercenary's Ridge

Mercy, Bruce
This space pirate worked with three other pirates: the Polydroxol enforcer Morph, the Conjeni pilot Durquist, and the Arachnoid mechanic Ptak-Sok.

The head of the merdeth was protected by armor plating, and was surrounded by a mass of eight tentacles that were used to draw its prey into its mouth. Although they moved slowly, merdeths were impossible to stop, and they consumed any organic material that came within reach of their tentacles. Often, a merdeth was accompanied by a swarm of mips. While the mips often fed on the ichor found in the merdeth's body, they also provided benefit to the merdeth by locating food and attacking any creature that tried to kill the merdeth. Due to its size and its temperment, the merdeth was the only creature capable of preying on an acklay. (GORW, NEGA)

Merdoc
This vicious predator was native to the underground tunnels and caverns of the planet Ahakista. The claw-studded paws of the merdoc were notable because each paw had four opposable digits, allowing it to grasp prey of any shape and size. The creature's wide mouth was lined with dagger-like fangs, and its head to crown by three eyes, which gave the merdoc enhanced vision in the low-light conditions in which it lived. Because the appearance of a merdoc was a rare event, many natives considered themselves privileged to have seen one, especially if they survived the encounter. (SWRAG)

Mere
This humanoid species of amphibians was native to the planet Maramere. The Mere lived mainly on the land, in wonderful cities they built on the rocky outcropping of the planet, but could breath underwater when necessary. Tall and well-muscled, Meres had orange skin which turned to green at the limbs, and their smooth-scaled skin was dotted with spikes on the tops of their heads and shoulders. (CRBN)

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

Mereel
This man was one of the six Null-class ARC Trooper clones who survived the gestation period and were grown to adulthood by the Kaminoans, during the development of the Grand Army of the Republic. Designated N-7, Mereel was the seventh Null trooper decanted by the Kaminoans. As infants, Mereel and the other Null-class ARC Troopers were scheduled to be terminated by the Kaminoan cloners, who deemed the Nulls to be too aberrant and dangerous. Rather than submit to extermination, Mereel grabbed a blaster and held the Kaminoan scientists at bay, until Kal Skirata intervened and ordered that the Nulls be allowed to continue their training. Mereel was distinguished from nearly every other clone by his blond hair color and blue eye pigmentation, which allowed him to move about in places that other clones could not. Known for his perfect recall, Mereel became and expert in computer slicing and data retrieval, and prided himself on his ability to locate and obtain virtually any piece of information, no matter how small or trivial it might have seemed. His skills as a slicer allowed him to discover information on the whereabouts of Ko Sai, as well as hints that she might have knowledge of a way to extend the life of a clone trooper. Thus, Kal Skirata managed to send Mereel on several covert missions during the Clone Wars, many of which involved locating Ko Sai and discovering any information she might have had on the life of the clones.

During a black-ops mission on Coruscant, Mereel made friends with the injured clone trooper Corr. They shared a fascination with booby traps, and were known to spend their nights on the town, sampling the finer points of civilian living. Mereel later agreed to help Kal Skirata hunt down Ko Sai, after intelligence was discovered that pinpointed her location on Dorumaa. After weeks of searching, they finally located her underwater laboratory and took her prisoner. Ko Sai refused to talk to them, despite the fact that she found the Nulls frightening in their anger. When they group could no longer safely remain in Republic space, Skirata suggested that they travel to Mandalore. There, they could continue their interrogation of Ko Sai, and Skirata could watch over the final stages of Etain Tur-Mukan's pregnancy. Mereel also continued to work on the data that had been obtained from Ko Sai's lab, working secretly with the second copy Ordro had made on Dorumaa. Ko Sai herself provided additional insights, as part of her deal with Etain to share genetic knowledge. When Etain gave birth to her son, Mereel found that he was excited to be an uncle, and cooked a wonderful celebratory meal at Skirata's residence in the Kyrimorut settlement of Mandalore.

Once Etain and the baby were settled, Mereel accompanied Skirata back to Coruscant, where they continued their search for a cure to the rapid aging of a clone. They interviewed many of the galaxy's more prominent gerontologists and geneticists, hiring those who agreed to their terms. Mereel was careful to only provide a fragment of the total clone genome to each scientists, ensuring that none of the scientists was able to understand the complete genome or the true nature of their work. Realizing that the cure, whenever it was found, would have to be tested on a clone, Mereel volunteered to be the first subject. Skirata initially refused to allow him to risk his life on the cure, but Mereel kindly reminded him that the risks on the battlefield were more dangerous than any genetic experiment. Although Skirata did not immediately accept Mereel's offer, he did invoke the gai bal manda and formally adopted Mereel and his fellow ARC Troopers as his sons. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Mereel was the first of Skirata's clone troopers to escape to Mandalore, where he set up a secure place for Doctor Olovot Qail Uthan to be kept while she worked on a way to reverse the rapid aging of the clones. (SWI87, RCTZ, RCTC, RC66)

Mereel, Jaster
This Journeyman Protector from the planet Concord Down was an ugly youth who had killed another Protector in the line of duty. Even though the other man was a corrupt law enforcer, Mereel was imprisoned and forced to stand trial. He was found guilty of murder, and exiled from the planet. Over the years, Jaster eventually found a home with the remnants of the Mandalorian Shock Troopers, who took him in and trained him to be one of their best mercenaries. When Jaster was elected the leader of the Mandalorian Mercs, and eventually given the title of Mand'alor, it was believed that Vizsla decided to split off from the group and form the Death Watch. In response, Jaster declared that his followers were the only True Mandalorians left in the galaxy. Vizsla tried to destroy the True Mandalorians on Concord Dawn, but Mereel and a small force managed to survive, thanks in part to the efforts of young Jango Fett.

The Mandalorians regrouped, but Jaster felt pressure from hard-liners like Montross to eliminate the Death Watch and re-establish the superiority of the Mandalorians. It was during this time that Jaster created the Codex, the new tenets and canons of the supercommmandos who followed him into battle. He also appointed Jango Fett as his choice to succeed him as Mand'alor. Years later, during a mission to Korda 6, Jaster discovered that the request for aid had been a ruse created by Vizsla and the Death Watch. Vizsla lured the Mandalorians to Korda 6 and nearly eliminated them. Jaster and a handful of mercenaries survived, only to find that Montross had decided to take control of the Shocktroopers for himself. Montross fled, and Vizsla shot Jaster dead as he lifted off from the planet.

Boba Fett later recovered Mereel's Mandalorian armor, using it as his own distinctive garb. For this reason, many rumors claimed that Boba Fett was actually Jaster Mereel. Boba Fett himself never set the record straight, preferring to cloud his true identity whenever and wherever possible. (EGC, VD2, SWDB, JFOS, NEGC, SWI80, LF8)

During the period of history known as "The Joining," the two continents were joined by a finger of mountains, and the two races were able to discover each other. However, instead of friendship, the Meris offered the Teltiors war, and the two races battled for a thousand years before Merisee was discovered by the Old Republic. Realizing that their own struggle was nothing compared to the galactic struggle, the Meri and the Teltiors eventually united to form a single group called the Loag. By the time of the Galactic Civil War, they had become a peaceful people who preferred farming and healing over fighting. They developed a society in which they co-existed peacefully with the Teltiors. They also seem to have an inate ability to predict the weather. (PG3, AE)

Merili was trained by Sariss during her time with the Church, and was known for her ability to perceive what the future had in store. Her skills at foretelling the future were unusual in that she could literally transport her mind into the future, not just witness events that might happen. This allowed her to manipulate events in the future, something that no being had ever been able to do. Because of these skills, Merili was elevated to the position of Emperor's Eyes.

Meriones
This man served as a Lieutenant aboard the Leveler, during the height of the Clone Wars. Lieutenant Meriones served under Captain Gilad Pellaeon during this time, although many of peers attributed his career successes to be as much a by-product of his family's connections as they were from hard work. Pellaeon himself privately wondered if Meriones was cut out for the navy life, since he often took the easiest way out of a situation. However, when the Leveler was diverted to rescue Hallena Devis from Separatist rebels on JanFathal, Meriones did his best to keep the crew upbeat and adequately nourished throughout the mission. Pellaeon was forced to re-evaluate his assessment of Meriones, recognizing that very few of the officers in the Republic Fleet had much combat experience, and that Meriones had simply taken longer to get the knack of relating to the crew of a ship.

Merisee
This planet, the primary world in the Merisee System of the Elrood Sector, was known as the "breadbasket of the Elrood Sector" because its agricultural production provided foodstuffs to most of the sector. It was the homeworld of two races, the Meri and the Teltior, who had been separated from each other for many millennia until volcanic activity caused seismic shifts in the planet's surface. In a period known as "The Joining," a finger of mountains was formed between the two continents of the planet. This allowed the two races to finally encounter each other, leading to a series of civil wars. The fought for a thousand years before the New Republic located the planet, and the warring parties realized that their feud was miniscule compared to the rest of the galaxy. It enjoyed a free government even at the height of the New Order, and its enlightened leaders strived to keep it that way. The planet's beautiful plains and sweeping vistas hide a dark side to the planet: the Loag. The Loag were a band of mercenaries that survived being wiped out by the old Jedi Knights. The survivors fled to Merisee and hid, silently biding their time to gain revenge. Merisee was orbited by two moons, Tola and Meriso. The average day on Merisee lasted 24 standard hours, and its year lasted 315 local days. (PG3, OE)

Before joining the military, Merit worked a number of different jobs, including a boson wrangler for Industrial Automaton. When Barriss Offee discovered that there was a spy in the Rimsoo Seven camp, her investigations led her to two options: Tolk le Trene and Klo Merit. When she learned of Tolk's love for Jos Vondar and was able to look into Tolk's mind with the Force, Barriss discovered that Merit was the spy. She talked briefly to Jos about it, and the Corellian confronted Klo Merit with the evidence. Merit was forced to admit his double role as the spies Column and Lens, when Jos held his at blaster-point. When a Separatist attack on the Rismoo Seven base set off a series of explosions, Merit thought he had a chance to escape.

(BSS)

Merkin, Talos
This aging Alliance starfighter pilot was known to his comrades as Pops. He had trained on Y-Wings, and served as Gold Five during the Battle of Yavin. He died during the first trench run against the Death Star. Note that this contradicts the Star Wars Customizable Card Game, which indicates Pops was the nickname of Davish Krail. (JPL, CCG)

Merkon
This was the alias used by Doctor Amie Antin to cover up the presence of Obi-Wan Kenobi at the Imperial prison in Ussa, on the planet Bellassa, during the early months of the New Order. Obi-Wan had infiltrated the prison to locate Roan Lands, and had been disguised as a doctor in order to gain access to the prison. Doctor Antin had not met Obi-Wan, but realized what he was doing and quickly covered his appearance by calling him on of her associates, Doctor Merkon. This gave them enough time to escape with Roan. (LJ1)

Merkon, Tem
This old man roamed the streets of Phaeda's main starport city, collecting information on the movements of the Imperial troops garrisoned there in the wake of Grand Admiral Thrawn's death. He funneled information to Mirith Sinn and her New Republic forces, but he also provided information to Colonel Shev on the rebellious cell. In short, he provided information to the highest bidder. It was Merkon who first brought Kir Kanos to the attention of Mirith Sinn, shortly before he sold them all out to Shev's forces. Merkon hid Kanos from Shev's troops before he realized the price his secret would command. He then worked hard to remain in the good graces of both sides, but let it slip that he knew Mirith Sinn would move her Republic forces to Collo Fauale in the wake of Shev's attack. This alerted Sish Sadeet to his duplicity, and the Trandoshan tracked him to a meeting with Carnor Jax himself. Sinn and Sadeet confronted Merkon with their evidence, and Merkon tried to escape their wrath by offering them half of the credits he collected for the information on Kanos' whereabouts. In anger, Sinn's agent Massimo drove a knife into Merkon's chest, killing the old man. (CE)

This medium-sized farm animal was native to the planet Qiilura. The farmers of the planet raised merlies for food and other needs, including wool. In order to cut down on heating costs during the winter, most families even brought their merlies indoors, adding their body heat to small rooms. This also protected the merlies from roving packs of gdans. The pungent odor of the merlies also acted as an insect repellent. The average merlie stood about a meter at the shoulder, and their bodies were covered with thick ringlets of woolly fur that was thick with natural oils. They were somewhat intelligent, and their green eyes were considered almost human by many farmers. (RCHC)

Unknown to the Duchess and her escorts, who included Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, Senator Merrik was secretly working for the Separatists. It was Merrik who set a cargo of assassin probes loose on the Duchess's starship, the Coronet, during the trip to Coruscant. Although Kenobi was unaware of this, he correctly assumed that a captured assassin probe would not react when brought into contact with Senator Merrik. Upon being exposed, Merrik drew his blaster and grabbed Duchess Satine, holding her at blaster-point as a hostage while he tried to make his way to the bridge. Once there, Merrik murdered the command crew and took control of the ship, dropping it out of hyperspace to make contact with Pre Vizsla and explain that he had the situation under his control. A Separatist boarding arrived shortly afterward, but Senator Merrik decided not to take any chances on his escape. He wired the ship's engines to a remote detonator, and when Kenobi tried to capture him on the bridge, he threatened to trigger the destruction of the engines if he wasn't allowed to escape with the Duchess. When Satine and Kenobi expressed their suppressed love for each other, Merrik was momentarily distracted by the show of emotion. Satine took the opportunity to step on his foot, causing Merrik to flinch in pain. Satine managed to slip out of his grasp and grab his weapon, and Merrik quickly fond himself being held at blasterpoint. Thinking that neither the Duchess nor Kenobi would act to harm him, Merrik turned to escape, but was cut down by Skywalker, who defended his actions by stating that he had eliminated a terrorist who threatened to blow up Satine's ship.

Over time, Merr-Sonn branched out to produce hold-out blasters and grenade launchers. Merr-Sonn's products were well-received in both the military and civilian markets, and the corporation's total sales were only surpassed by those of BlasTech. Merr-Sonn Munitions was originally founded more than 4,000 years before the Clone Wars, and rose to prominence during the Great Sith War when it provided cortosis-based alloys to the Sith and weapons to their Mandalorian mercenaries. During the era of the New Order, Merr-Sonn was able to remain independent, and maintained this independence well into the were of the New Republic. (RPG, ISB, CSA, NEGW)

MerrWeapons
This arms manufacturer was a subsidiary of Merr-Sonn Mil/Sci. (CSA)

Merry Havoc, The
This was the term used by Palleus Chuff to describe one of the many facial expressions used by Jedi Master Yoda. Chuff was a noted actor whose portrayal of Yoda in Jedi! made him famous across the galaxy. (YDR)

Merry Miner
This carry ship was used by Jaina and Jacen Solo to maneuver a stylus ship into position over Helska, during the New Republic's first attempt to destroy the Yuuzhan Vong invasion force. Although they went without notifying the Republic, the Solo children managed to use the stylus ship to pierce the icy crust of Helska and launch a warhead that would begin freezing the planet, in an effort to destroy the Praetorite Vong's yammosk before it could begin coordinating an assault on the New Republic's fleet. (VP)

Mers, Lawra
This woman was a Major with the Alliance, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. In her position, she was in charge of coordinating dozens of Alliance strike teams and agent group across the galaxy at one time, and was the primary commander of the team that secured the Black Ice. After the Empire traced the Black Ice to the Alliance base on Fangol, Lawra proposed a plan to ram the Black Ice into the Imperial torpedo sphere dispatched to wipe out the base. The plan worked, although Fangol had to be evacuated and abandoned. (BI)

Mersai, Orin
A musician performing during the Galactic Civil War. (TME)

Mersel Kebir
This Dreadnaught was the flagship of Rendili's homeworld defense fleet during the height of the Clone Wars. It was under the command of Jace Dallin until some six months before the First Battle of Coruscant, when Dallin openly voiced his support for the Old Republic. His officers remained loyal to Rendili, which had sided with the Separatists, and mutinied before he could turn the ship over to Jedi Master Plo Koon. The mutineers, led by Lieutenant Mellor Yago, took Dallin and Plo Koon hostage, hoping to force the remaining Republic fleet to return to Coruscant. (RDR)

Merson
This planet was one of many that were ravaged by the conflicts of the Clone Wars. Some seventeen months after the Battle of Geonosis, clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic were dispatched to Merson under the command of Jedi Master Ronhar Kim. The intelligence provided by the Old Republic was faulty, and the troopers were ambushed as soon as they arrived. Within a few days, the natives had reduced the unit's strength by sixty-four percent, forcing them to retreat or be annihilated. Unfortunately, their starship support was unable to rescue. The Captain of their transport, Gilad Pellaeon, found himself under attack, and was forced to defend his ships before he could go planetside. Unknown to most everyone involved, the Merson Pirates had been augmented by Separatist forces, who had been dispatched by Count Dooku himself. Dooku had received orders from his own Master, Darth Sidious, to wipe out the mission to Merson, after hearing of Ronhar's plans to test the Galactic Senate for midichlorians. (RBL)

Merson Asteroid Belt
This field of space debris, located just outside the orbit of the planet Merson, was infamous for the pirates who used it as a base of operations during the last decades of the Old Republic. Known as the Merson Slavers, these pirates preyed most often on ships of the Republic itself, but were not picky about which ships they ambushed. Because of this, and because the Merson Asteroid Belt crossed several well-traveled hyperspace lanes, starships had to drop out of hyperspace and drift past the belt in order to avoid being captured by the pirates. (MC24, RBL)

Merson Slavers
This feared group of slavers were once foiled by Obi-Wan Kenobi, when they tried to hijack a pleasure cruise some years after the Clone Wars. It was believed that the Merson were affiliated with Zygerrian Slavers at the time. They operated from a base which was hidden within the Merson Asteroid Belt, from which the slavers took their name. (MC24, HNN4)

Mertan
When Talon Karrde first located Jorj Car'das on Exocron, Car'das played the part of an elderly man. He confused Karrde with another man by the name of Mertan. (VOF)

Merte
This Lambda-class shuttle was used by the Alliance to rescue a group of smugglers from an Imperial ambush, shortly before the Battle of Endor. The smugglers had agreed to help supply the Alliance for the coming battle, and were under Imperial attack. The Alliance managed to defeat the Imperials and get the smugglers to safety. (XWA)

Merthian Lung Infection
This mild disease causes the victim to have a wheezing cough and a runny nose for several weeks. This disease was made up by Roark Garnet, who had made a bet with Hawk Carrow that Imperial tax investigator Mothra would ignore their cargo if Garnet faked having a contagious disease. (SWCP)

Merthyog Communications
This small starship manufacturer won a contract with the Empire to build the II-xC broadcast ship, which was used to maintain and supplement subspace relay stations. (TA)

Merumeru
This Wookiee was one of the elders who led the city of Kachirho, during the last decades of the Old Republic. At 250 years of age, however, he was also one of the youngest members of the city's leaders. Merumeru was also a member of the Kachirho clan, which gave him added power and stature among his fellow Wookiees. When the Separatists landed on Kashyyyk and began planning their subjugation of the planet, Merumeru was pressed into military duty, assuming the rank of Captain and overseeing the establishment of a beachhead to protect Kachirho. His efforts were later augmented by the Grand Army of the Republic and the 41st Elite Corps. (VD3, SWDB)

Merv, Walif
A cunning and resourceful Quarren, Merv grew up on the floating city of Morjanssik. He was determined to avoid becoming a miner, and looked for other opportunities. He turned to a life of crime, preferring the prospect of life in prison to life in the mines. He assisted a group of Alliance agents in trying to uncover the Imperial plot to gain the support of the Quarren. (DU)

Merzok
This was a common name among the Yinchorri race. (UANT)

Mes Cavoli
This planet was located in the galaxy's Mid Rim. (RC66)

Mesa
This Gungan pronoun translated into Basic as "I" or "me". (GPB)

Mesa, Kavel
This man served the Alliance Navy as a Captain, and was the Chief Logistics officer who secured Haven base on Arbra and was placed in charge of protecting the fleet while it was in orbit around Arbra's sun. Captain Mesa and his team monitored the Kerts-Bhrg field generators which formed a pyramid around the fleet, protecting it from the sun's heat and radiation. (LTA5, WOTC, MC58)

Mesa 291
An abandoned lidium mine on Bothan's Planet. Tiree once tried to recruit support for the Alliance on Bothan's Planet, and used the old mine as a staging point, until he was discovered by Mar Barezz. The lidium was stripped from the mine, leaving the mine empty except for the plasma fires that ravage its lower levels. Records indicate that the mine was marked with the sigil of Clan Alya, leading some to believe that Borsk Fey'lya's involvement with the Alliance may have begun around the time of the Battle of Yavin. Note that Rookies: No Turning Back inidcates that Bothan's Planet was actually Bothawui. (RPG, RNTB)

Mesa doen nutten
This Gungan exclamation translated into Basic as "I'm not doing anything!" (GPB)

Mesa Flats
This was one of the most remote sections of Tatooine's deep desert. (TG)

Mesan
This female Senali was married to Jaret, and became a member of the Banoosh-Walore clan. (SP)

Mesarc
This was one of the most predominant currencies exchanged on the planet Aargau, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (BF3)

Mescue
This modified CR90 corvette was part of the Imperial task force that was assigned to the Garret, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. The Mescue was dispatched to intercept the Haven shuttle group during Admiral Zaarin's bold attempt to capture and eliminate Emperor Palpatine. Darth Vader and Maarek Stele had identified the Haven 3 as the ship that was transporting the Emperor, and assigned the crew of the Mescue to dock with the shuttle and recover the Emperor. The rescue mission was defended by the Imperial-I class Star Destroyer Vanguard, which was under the command of Vice Admiral Thrawn. (TIE, TIEP)

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

Me'sen
This was the Mando'a word for "starship." (OWS)

MESFAC
This was a slang term used by Han Solo and many Corellians to describe those beings who believed that they were smarter in combat than he was. The term was an acronym that stood for "Masters of Every Single Flippin' Aspect of Combat", and was most often used to describe a Mandalorian. (LSSM)

Mesh Trap
Developed for use by bounty hunters, the mesh trap was a weave of electrified fibers that could be hidden beneath leaves or other light material. When a being stepped onto the mesh trap, it triggered the electrical power and stunned the being, rendering them numb and easy to capture. (ROD)

Meshakian
This alien race was known for its beautiful jewelry. (VOF)

Meshgeroya
This was the Mandalorian word used to describe the sport of limmie, or bolo-ball. It translated loosely into Basic as "the beautiful game." Many Mandalorians often joked that limmie was their other national pasttime, after going into war for other factions. (RCTC, LF8)

Mesh'la
When translated into Basic, this Mando'a word meant "beautiful." (OWS)

Meslinger
This xenobiologist spent part of his career researching the ibliton creature native to Randorn 2. (COG)

Mesobanis Timer
This was one of the primary components in the MX9 blaster rifle. Regular adjustment of the timer ensured that the weapon operated at its peak performance level. (LFCW)

Meson Taloscope
This piece of diagnostic equipment was common on most Nubian starships, during the final decades of the Old Republic. By employing specialized talo-effect lenses, this device allowed its user to analyze a sample of fuel or hull plating at the subatomic level, thereby helping shipboard technicians and crew members to identify problems before they happened. (CVD)

Mesonics
Manufacturers of focalized explosive charges. These explosives were hard to use, because they required detonators that fire at triple frequency intervals. (TFE)

Mesoriaam, Barid
A human who served as one of Bria Tharen's Intelligence operatives during the early days of the Allaince. He was later captured by Jabba the Hutt and tortured for information on the Rebel Alliance, which he was carrying in a small datadot hidden in his mouth. Jabba tortured him for days at his Mos Eisley townhouse before Muftak and Kabe tried to break in. They discovered Barid, who entrusted the datadot to them for delivery to an unspecified Mon Calamarian. Barid probably died under torture, but Muftak and Kabe delivered the datadot. They received a large reward and two travel vouchers for passage off Tatooine. (TME, RD)

Message Cube
A device which was virtually unsliceable, a message cube can be keyed to the recipient's body chemistry, fingerprints, or voice. The outside of the cube was used to display the recipient's name, address, or a short message or code phrase. The cube can be hollow, used for delivering small data chips or other physical media, or it can be built around a tiny holoprojector. Cubes which contain holovids can be set for single viewing or repetition. (AC)

Message Dinghy
This small vessel was similar to a hyperspace courier tube. No larger than a couple of meters in length, the message dinghy was developed to transfer coded information from one location to another, most often between starships. (LF3)

Message Mode 99
This was a specially-designed access code that was programmed into the droid I-5YQ by Lorn Pavan. Message Mode 99 could only be activated by Lorn's biological son, Jax Pavan, and only after Jax uttered the phrase "I wish I could ask my father for advice". Upon hearing these words, I-5YQ was programmed to display a holographic recording that Lorn Pavan had made many years earlier, just prior to his attempt to destroy Darth Maul. Jax was able to access the message several months after the formation of the Galactic Empire, when he was unable to discern the correct course of action when considering Tuden Sal's plans for assassinating Emperor Palpatine. In the message, Lorn explained that he was going to try to hunt down Darth Maul in order to honor the memory of Darsha Assant, in an attempt to complete her mission. Lorn did this despite the fact that Assant was a Jedi, because she had become a friend. The message convinced Jax that he should complete their mission and eliminate the Sith. (CN3)

Message Pod
This device was similar to a hyperspace courier tube in that it was used to leave a message for recovery. It differed from the courier tube in that it had no propulsion system, and had to be left in space to be recovered later. (COTF)

Message to Spacers
Known as a METOSP (pronounced "MEE-tosp"), this was a communications channel on which starship pilots obtained general notices and up-to-date information on starports across the galaxy. These were one-way transmissions, as the pilot couldn't reply to the METOSP. The information on the METOSP allowed starship pilots to land their ships without mishap, providing weather data, traffic patterns, and other pertinent information. (PSG)

Message Wafer
This was the name given to any flat, rectangular card which contained a message. When the wafer was received by the designated recipient, he or she creased the card in the center and cracked it open along the crease. The card could then be folded for standing on a flat surface. Inside, the card contained a set of special crystals which replayed the sender's message with video and audio output. When the message was complete, the wafer disintegrated in a flash of light. (JS)

Message, The
This was the name used by those Yuuzhan Vong Shamed Ones to describe the story of Vua Rapuung and his friendship with Anakin Solo. The story told of how the Jedi Knights worked with the Shamed Ones to expose the heretical theories of Mezhan Kwaad, along with the information that the Yuuzhan Vong gods might not be as powerful as the priests had led their civlization to believe. The Message was passed from Shamed One to Shamed One, with never more than three individuals being in contact at one time. This ensured that, in case one Shamed One was arrested for spreading The Message, no more than a few other individuals could be arrested as well. This allowed The Message to spread throughout the galaxy, becoming a force that the Yuuzhan Vong commanders were hard-pressed to deal with. When Nom Anor adopted the personage of Yu'shaa, the Shamed Ones began spreading The Message with earnest, and it began to reach the ears of more powerful inviduals. Nom Anor twisted the basic story to meet his own needs, inventing the Rainbow-eyed Enemy to represent the powerful Yuuzhan Vong establishment. The Message was altered to bring the Jedi Knights more to the forefront, and eventually became known as the Jedi Heresy to all castes of Yuuzhan Vong. (FH1, FH2, FH3)

Messenger
This courier ship was owned by Core Courier Service during the early days of the New Republic, and was piloted by Taryn Clancy and Del Sato. The ship was a modified Ghtroc Class 720 freighter, armed with a double laser cannon and equipped with redundant shielding. The interior of the ship had been modified for courier duty, and could accommodate ten passengers and 135 metric tons of cargo. (TFE, SWJ7)

Messert Mines Corporation
This mining operation established a number of settlements on the planet Nurstin during the last century of the Old Republic, hoping to cash in on the dense concentrations of corthel in the atmosphere and cortheum in the planet's crust. Messert was also the first corporation to begin mining on the planet Essowyn. (GMK, PG1)

Messo
This conniving Trandoshan, distinguished by the fez he often wore, worked as a Separatist spy in the Galactic Senate, during the early months of the Clone Wars. Ostenibly, Messo worked as an aide to a mid-level Senator, keeping track of appointments and making sure that the Senator's personal business was handled efficiently. Secretly, though, Messo worked behind the scenes to arrange for meetings between the Senator and Separatist agents, during which the Senator provided details on imminent Republic military actions. The Senator knew in his heart that this was wrong, but he was forced to continue his illicit dealings when the Separatists threatened the lives of his family. All the while, Messo served as the Senator's sympathetic ear. However, during a routine delivery to Asajj Ventress, the Senator was followed by a group of clone troopers led by Ki-Adi-Mundi. Messo acted quickly, grabbing the data disk that the Senator was going to turn over to the Separatists. The Senator was killed by Ventress to prevent him from testifying, and Messo was forced to escape on his own. Before he died, though, the Senator revealed to Ki-Adi-Mundi that Messo was supposed to participate in a meeting on the planet Mon Gazza. Thus, unknown to Messo, Master Ki was able to contact Anakin Skywalker on Queel, and asked him to track Messo's movements. On Mon Gazza, Messo set out for the podracing pits, where he was supposed to meet his contact and exchange the data disk. Messo realized that he was being followed, and tried to lure the tracker into a place where they would be alone. Unfortuntely, Messo discovered that his tracker was Anakin Skywalker, and the Jedi Knight drew his lightsaber to defend himself. Skywalker blocked one of the shots Messo fired from his blaster, directly the blast back at Messo. The sudden injury startled Messo, and he tripped over a ledge. Skywalker tried to grab him, but only managed to get a hand on the fabric of Messo's sleeve. Skywalker demanded the data disk, but Messo explained that he had already gotten rid of it. Unable to stay still, Messo fell to his death on the podracing course below when his sleeve ripped from his tunic. Skywalker later learned that Messo had passed the data disk on to a podracer named Maxus. (CWCC)

Messtin
Captain Hawra claimed to have a brother named Messtin on Dakot Seven, when he was approached by a group of Alliance agents who had infiltrated the Imperial outpost on Lotide. Hawra, in fact, did not have a brother, but used the name as a way to get the agents to blow their cover as academicians from Dakot Seven. (BI)

Mestapol Zephyer
This was a model of light combat starfighter. The Zephyr measured 50 meters in length, and required a pilot to operate. It had room for two additional passengers and up to 300 kilograms of cargo space. (POC)

Mester Reef
This was an immense coral reef, located on the planet Calamari. It was here that Danni Quee first saw Jacen Solo for what he truly was: not a Jedi Knight, not a Solo, just Jacen Solo. (DW, FH2)

Mestra System
This Minos Cluster system once held planetary bodies, although all of them have been destroyed. In their wake stretches one of the galaxy's largest asteroid fields. It had been estimated that over 100 trillion pieces of rock exist in the field, with many of them being large enough to rival small moons. The Mestra System had been mined for the abundant durelium ore found in the asteroids. The system was owned and controlled by the Minos-Mestra Corporation. The asteroids were mined for their wealth of usable ores and minerals. The asteroid belt circles the system every 611 local days, as measured from the asteroid Javis-12. The average "day" in the system lasted about 45 standard hours, which was the median rotational period of the largest asteroids. There were a large number of rumors and legends which describe ancient troves of weapons, treasures, and artifacts that were hidden within the asteroids, although no one had yet brought forth physical proof. (GG6)

Me'suum
When translated into Basic, this Mando'a word meant "planet." (OWS)

Me'suum'ika
When translated into Basic, this Mando'a word meant "moon." (OWS)

MetaCannon
This massive ground weapon, developed by the Chiss during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, was capable of firing a variety of ordnance, depending on the battle situations. It could fire maser beams, blaster bolts, or solid projectiles, with minimal refitting. The change-over from one type of ordnance to another took very little time to complete, so MetaCannons could be deployed into a number of battlefield situations. However, aiming the MetaCannon after the change-over took a great deal of time, and required careful calibration. (DN3)

Meta-ceramic
This was a form of strong, woven material that could be used to create diplomatic pouches that protected their contents from damage. It was originally developed by the Trade Federation, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Federation interwoven computational circuitry with the meta-ceramic, creating a pouch that also served as a computer, which could display its message on its surface. (YDR)

Metal Borer
This species of insect was known to inhabit spaceports and shipyards, feeding on the hulls and exterior components of starships. This trait made the metal borer a nuisance to port owners and ship owners alike. (YDR)

Metal Man
This was the Togorian term for a droid. (GG4)

Metal Parasite
This unusual creature was a common pest native to Balmorra. Little more than a pair of long, double-jointed legs connected to a ravenous mouth, metal parasites fed on exposed metals. They favored factories and buildings, where heavy metals were readily available. An infestation of metal parasites could seriously undermine the structural integrity of a structure in a few days. (EGP)

Metal-crystal Phase Shifter
Known as an MCPS for short, this device altered the structure of a material and allowed manipulation of the material at a molecular level. It was designed to penetrate a starship's protective shields and alter the metallic structure of the hull, turning it to powder. The MCPS was developed by the Imperial scientists at the Maw Installation, but was never implemented. Although it seemed to work well in battle, the prototype was destroyed when the New Republic attacked the Maw Installation. After getting off just a single shot, the lab that housed the MCPS was hit with a barrage of turbolaser fire and destroyed, and all technical records on the MCPS were lost in the subsequent battle. (COTF)

Metallo, Tere
This Riileb was to be the wearer of the ClanRing on her homeworld of Riileb, but was captured and sold into slavery by a jealous sister. She managed to escape, with the help of the Corellian smuggler Bek Nataal. Nataal taught her about smuggling, but was killed during an Imperial boarding exercise. Tere herself was briefly imprisoned, but managed to escape and became a smuggler on her own. She owned the modified Suwantek light freighter known as the StarQuest, which she used as a smuggling vessel. Among the beings who served as her first mate were Matt Turhaya and, after the Battle of Endor, Gil Crosear. Tere had worked with Turhaya on Kabaira, and it was during this time that she learned of Matt's young daughter, Alex. (SWJ6, SWJ13)

Metal-mesh Net
This was a type of electrostun netting that was made from a woven mesh of metallic threads. This mesh conducted electricity quite well, and transferred it to the body of any being who was trapped beneath the net. Metal-mesh nets were often used by bounty hunters and other criminals who were sometimes confronted by Jedi Knights, because the intensity of the electrical shock they delivered often shut down the brain of a Jedi Knight, making them easier to capture. (FJ1)

Metalmite
This species of small insect makes a loud humming noise when it swarms together. Metalmites were composed mainly of metals themselves. They use biological enzymes to dissolve raw metals, then consume them for nutrients. Metalmites live in broods, with each brood led by an empress or queen. Each brood had a different pitch to its humming, and rival broods often go to war against each other. They can cause a lot of damage to any installation which was made of metal, or had metallic components. Drend Navett and Klif managed to get a swarm of them into the Drev'starn shield generator power station by surreptitiously placing them on the clothing of maintenance workers. The Bothans were forced to call them in - as they were acting as exotic pet dealers - to contain the infestation. This allowed them to further their plans to take out the generator. (VOF)

Metalorn
This remote planet was best-known as the corporate headquarters for the Baktoid Armor Workshop. During the height of the Clone Wars, however, the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic were able to regain control of the planet, removing the Separatists from power. In the years following the Clone Wars, the Empire either nationalized existing factories or built new ones on Metalorn. Much of the planet's surface was destroyed by environmental damage from strip-mining and pollution, forcing the Empire to re-establish its factories beneath the surface. (HNN4, MC30, ROF)

Metalorn Yacht
This was a generic term used to describe any of the bulky transport vessels that were manufactured on the planet Metalorn, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (SM1)

Metalsmiths' Guild
This group of extremely-proficient metal crafters was native to the planet Vandelheim, which was known for its deposits of valuable ores. The Guild was originally formed about 3,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, when the independent prospectors Vandel and Helm first discovered the planet and its mineral riches. The prospectors and their families settled on Vandelhelm, and their small settlement served as the basis for the Guild. (EGC, PH)

Metalwood
This species of tree grew on the planet Kuras III, reaching heights of 30 meters or more. They were named for their unusually smooth bark, which resembled sheet metal in feel and coloration. The roots of this tree obtained food by refining raw ores through a unique form of photosynthesis. These ores were metabolized and deposited in the bark of the tree. (PG3)

Metalworkers' Quarters
This was one of the many labor districts found in the city of Athar, on the planet JanFathal, during the final years of the Old Republic. (CWNOP)

Metanecrons
This was the term used to describe the army that was created by Belia Darzu from the bodies of her slain enemies. The soldiers of the Metanecrons were created with through the use of mechu-deru, with the front lines being made up of technobeasts that were supported by the re-animated bodies of the enemies she had slain in battle. Like Darzu herself, the Metanecrons were poisoned by the Mecrosa Order, after Darzu began invading the worlds of the Tapani Sector, during the centuries leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. (OWS)

Metarie
This given name was commonly given to female human children throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Metarshi
This species of herding herbivore was native to the planet Alk'lellish III. (TBSB)

Metatheran Cartel
During the last century of the Old Republic, the Trade Federation was led by three alien races: the Neimoidians, the Filordi, and the Caarites. Both the Filordi and the Caarites were unprepared for the Neimoidians' plans to blockade the Naboo System, and decided to break off their relationship with the Trade Federation. Together, the two races formed the Metatheran Cartel, and begin making plans to wrest control of Cularin from the Federation if the blockade of Naboo should fail. When the Federation was defeated at Naboo and was faced with the loss of their trade charter, the Metatheran Cartell assumed control of Cularin. The Cartel made a serious effort to eliminate piracy in the system, and placed a number of restrictions on trade and commerce. (LFC)

Metellean
This was the term usedto describe the human inhabitants of the planet Metellos. (CCW)

Metellean Steep
This strange creature resembled a tiny humanoid. Its triangular head was topped with a pair of eyestalks. A carnivorous amphibian, the steep was protected by tough, rubbery hide and a wide mouth that was filled with needle-like teeth. (CCW, WOTC)

Metellos
This planet, the primary world in the Metellos System, was known as the "Coruscant that wasn't." It was believed that Metellos was colonized several centuries before the formation of the Old Republic, presumably by explorers from nearby Coruscant. Like Coruscant, Metellos's surface was completely urbanized. Much of the cityscape, however, had degenerated into overcrowded shacks and hovels over the centuries leading up to the Battle of Endor. The rich and powerful lived in floating cities that never came into contact with the surface. On the surface of the planet and beneath, rampant overpopulation limited the amount of habitable area to the barest minimum. Metellos was the fourth planet in the Metellos System, and was orbited by three moons. The average day on Metellos lsated twenty-four standard hours, while its year encompassed 361 local days. The few remaining natural bodies of water were used as septic systems for the ubran areas, and only a small pocket of desert wasteland remained unblemished. (SWI64, CCW)

Metellos
This star was the central body of the Metellos System. (CCW)

Metellos 3
This airless ball of rock was the third moon of the planet Metellos. For generations leading up to the Great Sith War, Metellos 3 was known only as a scientific outpost. Astronomers were able to peer into the depths of the galaxy from installations on the moon's surface, unhindered by the effects of an atmosphere. However, after Exar Kun and the Sith were defeated, the Galactic Republic established a planetary futures exchange center on the moon. In a short time, the Metellos Exchange became a haven for business traders and corporate raiders who were looking to acquire the rights to newly-discovered star systems that could be exploited for their natural resources. (KOR11)

Metellos Exchange
This was the planetary futures exchange that was established on the airless moon Metellos 3, during the years that followed the Great Sith War. The Metellos Exchange was noted for the unusual and exotic locations that passed through its auction floor, and it was believed that the operators even managed to trade franchise rights to certain planets with the Mandalorians, who were hedged their bets for after the Mandalorian Wars ended. Unknown to the Galactic Republic and the beings who bought and sold mining rights at the Exchange, the operation was actually a front for the criminal operations of Nunk Plaarvin, who had been funded by the Raff Syndicate. One of Plaarvin's Cehv slaves, a being known as Cipiter, had suggested that the Metellos Exchane might be a short-term source of credits, but it became quite popular, and the Raff Syndicate came to rely more and more on the profits it produced. Although every initial auction was conducted legally, and the appropriate fees and taxes were paid back to the Republic, a large percentage of any profits went into the coffers of the Raff Syndicate. Adding to their take was the fact that Plaarvin and his Chev slaves killed off any being who returned to Metellos 3 with a counter-claim, before confiscating their ships and any possessions they had. These unfortunate beings were captured and held an abandoned solar observatory that had been altered to focus the light from the Metellos star. When the sun rose, it literally fried the captives, eliminating any evidence of their presence on the moon. (KOR11)

Metellos System
This star system, located near Coruscant, was one of the first systems subjugated by the revived Emperor Palpatine after the Battle of Endor. (DESB)

Metellos Trade Route
This was one of the first hyperspace travel routes to link the Core Worlds to the Koornacht Cluster. It was discovered during the last decades of the Old Republic, and opened up the many worlds of the Koornacht Cluster - like J't'p'tan - for exploration and colonization. At its peak, the metellos Trade Route streched from the Core Worlds to the planet Orooturoo, in the Farlax Sector. However, most of the worlds located along the route were of little commercial value, and the Metellos Trade Route saw little traffic. (WOTC, CCW)

Meteor
This was one of the Alliance's Nebulon-B frigates, active during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Meteor Racer
This was one of the many starships that were trapped on Coruscant when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the planet. Along with some 600 other independent starships, the Meteor Racer fled as soon as the first wave of attacks began. (SBS)

Meteor-class Aerial Fort
This was an Adumari warship, capable of atmospheric flight. The Adumari warship carried several smaller craft, including the Blade-class fighters. (SOA)

Meteor-class Q-Carrier
This drop ship was developed for use by the Mandalorian Mercs during the centuries leading up to the Clone Wars. These beetle-shaped vessels were carried to a battle site in the holds of Mandalorian Dungeon Ships, and could rapidly deploy troops planetside without being damaged. Each Q-Carrier was armed with rotating twin blaster cannons on either side of its cockpit, which was modeled after the helmets of the ancient Mandalorians. Four stout landing gear allowed the Q-Carrier to make high-speed landings without jostling the crew or its complement of troops. After the Mandalorian Civil War, production of the Meteor-class Q-Carrier was halted, since there were very few Mandalorians left to need them. (SWI80)

Methane Fix Cantina
This cantina was located on the Dune Street, in Mos Eisley on Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. (IWST)

Methane Sifter Ramjet
Produced by Bespin Motors, this 15-meter-long hovercraft was designed for use on gaseous planets where the atmosphere was laden with methane, ammonia, and similar gases. Completey enclosed, the Ramjet used twin scoops to collect atmospheric gases and compressed them into fuel cylinders during flight. These gases were then burned to provide propulsion. This allowed the Ramjet to continually replenish its fuel, allowing for extended flights. It required a pilot and co-pilot to operat,e, and could carry a single passenger and up to 150 kilograms of cargo. (GFT)

Methanogen
Grannans need to breathe this gas in order to survive. It was found in the proper quantities on the planet Polneye. (SOL)

Methnap
This cetacean was domesticated by the ocean-going ranchers of the planet Chad. They were the calm, distant cousins of the tsaelke and cy'een, although they ar also less intelligent. They measure 12-15 meters in length, anda re sometimes used as mounts. (SWJ10)

Metonae, Corla
This Alderaanian woman served as a bosun and petty officer aboard the Tantive IV, serving under her uncle, Raymus Antilles, during the final years of the Old Republic. She was placed in charge of the ship's deck crew and onboard craft, including the maintenance of the ship's escape pods, after overseeing the upgrade of the ship's systems from a CR70 to a CR90. In the wake of the Clone Wars, she was in charge of a test when pirates in the Karthakk System ambushed the Tantive IV. The ship ejected its escape pods, one of which contained R2-D2 and C-3PO. Although Senator Bail Organa was openly angered by this, his reassignment of Metonae was not regarded as a demotion. Instead, Metonae was placed in charge of Project: Another Chance, working with Alderaan's leaders to elminate the planet's armament. Metonae's efforts resulted in a successful launch of the four ships that carried Alderaan's weapons into space, and she was instrumental in preventing a small Imperial fleet from capturing the ships. For her efforts, Metonae was again assigned to duty aboard the Tantive IV by Senator Organa, taking on the role of Master Chief Petty Officer. She then learned that the two droids who had been lost during the pirate attack had been recovered, but had been programmed to never enter an escape pod unless directly ordered to do so. Metonae was taken prisoner when the Tantive IV was captured by Darth Vader, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. (SWDB, SWI90)

Metonae, Tash
This Alderaanian woman served as her homeworld's represenative to the Galactic Senate during the centuries leading up to the Clone Wars. She was part of the committee that was appointed to investigate Jideon Praji's appointment to serve as the Old Republic's Minister of Finance.

Metrobig City
This was the largest city on Skor II. (HR, HNN4)

Metrobig Interplanetary Blastport
This spaceport was located in Metrobig City, on the planet Skor II, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The spaceport was initially attacked and overtaken by Separatist forces during the height of the Clone Wars, but an assault force led by jedi Master Mace Windu liberated it from the Separatists. It was later learned that the Separatists had planned to used the Metrobig Blastport as the base from which they would launch an operation to disperse proximity mines across the Rimma Trade Route. (SWI69)

Metrocab
This robo-hack was jointly designed by Go-Corp and Utilitech. It measured six meters in length, had room for up to four passengers, and could attain speeds up to 300 kilometers an hour. Its computer brain was linked to a main database of the local roads and alleyways, and a Central Learning Chip gave the Metrocab the ability to learn and remember shortcuts based on the time of day and regular traffic patterns. The armor plating which covered the Metrocab's exterior was primarily designed to keep swoop gangs and criminals from breaking into the vehicle to steal its earnings, but also served to keep passengers inside until they paid their fares. (CSA, SWJ14, EGD, AEG)

Metron Burner
This Corellian YT-1300 frieghter was owned and operated by Bama Vook, with assistance from his son, Chup-Chup and the navigation droid LE-PR34. Vook also owned a modified Z-95 Headhunter, which had a cockpit with enough room for two beings. (E1A2)

Metropolitan Shuttle
This was the generic term used to describe any small, repulsorlift personnel carrier used to travel between locations in large cities. (JS)

M-ETT
Produced by the Czerka Corporation during the decades following the Great Sith War, the Multi-Environment Tracked Transport was a tracked vehicle designed for use in a variety of environmemts. It was designed to operate in locations where repulsolift vehicles could not, and it was especially effective in deserts, making it one of the first true sandcrawlers. The M-ETT could carry large loads across vast distances, and found widespread use as a supply vehicle on frontier worlds. The interior was climate-controlled, so that foodstuffs and other perishable cargoes could be transported to remote locations. Despite its simple mission profile, the M-ETT was quite sophisticated for its time. Its ventilation and drive systems were well-protected from the elements, so that sand and liquid did not affect its operability. Note that the Wizards of the Coast web site displays a picture of a Jawa sandcrawler, which was built by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, for this vehicle. (WOTC)

Metta Drop
This area of the Tatooine desert was part of Jabba the Hutt's podracing course, and presented racers with a repulsorlift jolt after the winding obstacle course of Jag Crag Gorge. The Drop was a sheer wall of rock that rose some 20 meters in the air. Whenever a pod racer crossed over the Drop, it immediately plummeted downward until its repuslors kicked in and leveled the craft out at the bottom. (E1N)

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

Mettier, Lag
This man served the Alliance's ground support teams at Echo Base, on Hoth, and was a good friend of Dack Ralter. However, in the wake of the battle, Mettier was captured and imprisoned by the Empire. He later was one of the many prisoners held by Ysanne Isard aboard the Lusankya, and was part of the group her clone left in the Xenovet facility on Commenor. There, he was rescued by Rogue Squadron and returned to the New Republic. (IR)

Mettlo, Obron
A Moorin mercenary who frequented Mos Eisley during the Galactic Civil War. Labria tried to find favor with Jabba the Hutt by selling Mettlo's services to the crimelord. Obron angered the Hutt, and Jabba fed him to the rancor. (TME, EGC)

This planet was one of the first to profit from the presence of Figg & Associates, offering cheaper spaceport rates that Gerrenthum to attract visitors and traffic. (WOA33)

Mexnean
This Berrite con-man was famous (or infamous) for his scams and petty thievery. He often assumed female characteristics, although information gathered by New Republic Intelligence agents points out that Mexnean was actually a female. She was believed to have provided various crimelords with information she stole from her victims, some of which had compromised New Republic actions. (GG12, WBC)

Meybor, Vol
This Skakoan individual was noted in the histories of the planet Skako. (UANT)

Meydhu
This being was a weapons smuggler who made a living selling outdated blasters to primitive civlizations in the Outer Rim Territories, during the last years of the New Order. (GUN)

Meyer, Lips
This male Gran was once a part of the primary criminal organization based on the Outland Transit Station, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. A bounty was placed on his head after Meyer ratted out several prominent members of the Outlanders Organized Crime family in order to save his own immunity with the law. After fleeing the station and hiding out on Gromas, Meyer - now known by the nickname "Lips" - was forced to return to the Outland Transit Station. Unfortunately, he was captured by Jango Fett and brought in for the bounty on his head. (BH)

Meynin
This smuggler found an outlaw tech on Rampa who used a vast army of MSE-6 utility droids to repair his ship. (FTD)

Mez, Tyko
This was a noted individual from Vorzydiak history. (GORW)

Mezdec
This man was one of the leaders of the Typha-Dor resistance, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Along with wife, Shalini, Mezdec rallied people from throughout the Uziel System for her crusade against the invasion plans of the Vanqors. Operating from a base on the moon known as TY44, Mezdec was the resistance's chief communications officer. Mezdec claimed that it was Samdew who had been planning to undermine the group's efforts by transmitting the exact location of their base on TY44, just before Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker arrived in the Uziel System to mediate a cease-fire. Mezdec claimed that he had awakened to find Samdew at the communications station, and shot him with a blaster to stop him. In the ensuing firefight, Rajana shot Samdew in the chest, killing him instantly. It was later revealed that it was Mezdec, not Samdew, who was the traitor, and that Mezdec had tried to kill Samdew to cover his tracks. Four other members of their group were killed when the fire systems activated in their quarters, shutting down their oxygen supply. There deaths were also attributed to Mezdec. When the Jedi exposed him, Mezdec quickly escaped from TY44 and fled back to Typha-Dor, where he insinuated himself in the command structure of High General Bycha. Only the timely arrival of Obi-Wan and Anakin on the planet allowed Mezdec to be revealed as the true saboteur, and Bycha had him arrested and placed into custody for later questioning. (JQ7)

Mezer
This man served as a member of the Corellian Security Force, during the years following the Swarm War. A Sergeant in rank, Mezer was one of the many officers assigned to security duty aboard an abandoned resort station near Gilatter Eight, when The Confederation met for the first time to discuss the election of a new Supreme Commander, during the Corellia-GA War. (LF4)

Mezerel
This was once of the many names given to Duros females. Among the Duros, it meant "eclipse". (GCG)

Mezgraf
This massive, white-furred Togorian served aboard the transport vessel Uhumele, during the final years of the Old Republic. A former slave and a survivor of the slave markets on Orvax IV, Mezgraf was well-muscled and ready for combat at any turn, but also knew how to control his baser instincts. Unknown to the rest of the crew, Mezgraf was also fond of animals, and often found it easy to establish a rapport with even the more vicious beasts. In addition to his skills as a fighter and soldier, Mezgraf was a fine cook, and often worked with Jank to prepare meals for the ship's crew.

Like the rest of his crewmates, Mezgraf had no reason to trust the Galactic Empire that rose to power in the wake of the Clone Wars. He later provided information on Orvax IV to Bomo Greenbark, when the Nosaurian set out to rescue his wife and daughter from slavery, and agreed to help locate the Nosaurians. Although he rescued a runaway beast, the beast master identified him as a former slave and shouted for help. Dass Jennir stepped in, using the Force to convince the authorities that nothing was wrong. Mexgraf continued to help with the search for Resa Greenbark, and helped Ko Vakier and Schurk-Heren secure the front entrance to Dezono Qua's estate on Esseles. (DT1)

Mezhra Station
This orbital docking facility was constructed in orbit around Clak'Dor VII. Within its shell, Mezhra Station contained environment ecosystems that were changed twice a year. The unveiling of a new environment was something of a public spectacle, primarily because leaders of Mezhra Station were hoping that they would be able to create an environment that might be used to terraform Clak'Dor VII itself. They reasoned that any ecosystem that could survive within the hull of a space station had a decent chance of taking hold on the planet's surface. (GORW)

Mezza
This older Ryn was stranded on the planet Duro, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She had taupe fur, highlighted by red-orange splashes and a blue tail. She and many other Ryn distrusted SELCORE and its ability to help the refugees fleeing the Yuuzhan Vong. She led a large clan of Ryn while stranded on the planet, and spent a great deal of time arguing with Romany and his smaller clan. However, after the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Duro in an effort to take the refugees as sacrifices, Mezza and Romany worked together to get as many refugees off the planet as possible. (BP)

Mezzicanley Wave
This was the name of the effect when matter reached its fourth stage, after a material had passed through the vaporous stage and began to re-solidify at incredibly cold temperatures. The wave itself was a fuzzy, distorted glow which appeared as the material re-solidified. (VP)

Mezzine, Chyan
This alias, used by Gara Petothel, was used to gain access to the New Republic during her tenure with Apwar Trigit. Chyan was a communications officer aboard the New Republic frigate Mother Sea, and intercepted a number of important transmissions for Trigit's use. Some of the information was eventually used to destroy Talon Squadron. The New Republic discovered the alias and put out a warrant for the arrest of Gara Petothel, but believed she was killed when Trigit was killed along with the Implacable. (IF, SOC)

MFB-4 Mobile Repulsor Base
This repulsor-equipped, mobile command base was custom-built by the Empire for use on outpost worlds. Measuring some 200 meters in length, the MFB-4 required a crew of 30 and four gunners. It could transport up to 120 support staff and 300 troops, along with 150 metric tons of supplies. This allowed the MFB-4 to remain on active patrol for several weeks before requiring re-supply. The MFB-4 was armed with a turret-mounted heavy turbolaser and four supporting laser cannons. (OE)

M'Guy, Rass
Kaj Nedmak owed money to this loan shark, who worked out of a base on the planet Ord Mantell. He was a huge man, but he was not a brute. He carried himself with a certain air of confidence, and moved with a style most crimelords could only hope for. Kaj tried to pay off a gambling debt he owed Rass by double-crossing Bwahl and using weapons the Hutt had contracted them to ship to Tammuz-an as payment to Rass. Rass took the weapons, but only as a payment of the interest Kaj owed him. After Kaj and Celia Durasha left Ord Mantell, Bwahl discovered his duplicity, and sent his agents out to capture or kill him. (SWJ14)

M'gwaa
This word from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "why." (GPB)

M'haeli
This planet, which was orbited by several natural satellites, was the homeworld of the H'drachi race and a group of human inhabitants.

M-HYD
This pretentious Mini-Huvicko/Yuzabi Dowser hydroponics droid was owned by Owen and Beru Lars. It spoke a number of computer languages, but preferred to converse in binary. Its main use was communicating with the loadlifters and vaporators that were installed by Owen on his moisture farm. (CCG2, SWDB)

M-HYD "Binary" Droid
This series of hydroponics droids was produced by Huvicko/Yuzabi, during the final years of the Old Republic, and found a niche on frontier desert planets like Tatooine. Officially part of the Mini-Huvicko/Yuzabi Dowser line of divining droids, the "Binary" designation indicated that this series of M-HYD droids conversed solely in binary communications. (E4VG, SWDB)

M-HYD 6804
This Huvicko/Yuzabi divining droid was part of a shipment that was transported to the planet Tatooine aboard the Lucky Despot, during the era of the Old Republic. The captain of the ship hoped to sell them as moisture prospectors, but many of the droids he sold were stolen by Tusken Raiders and stripped of any water they had collected. This led to the so-called Prospector's Riot, when buyers demanded their credits back after the droids were unable to perform as advertised.

This particular unit, known to its owner as Dowser, was captured and nearly dismantled by a group of Tusken Raiders, then left to decay in the desert. The Jawa chief known as Nebit and his clan discovered the droid, and took the droid for salvage. It was believed that Dowser was destroyed by the Imperial stormtroopers who were searching for R2-D2 and C-3PO, just prior to the Battle of Yavin. (SWDB)

M-HYD Droid
This series of divining droids was officially known as the Mini-Huvicko/Yuzabi Dowser. Originally produced during the final years of the Old Republic by Huvicko/Yuzabi, these fifth-degree droids were designed to locate underground water sources and extract moisture from them. The standards M-HYD droid was fitted with a vertical sounding sensor and filtered moisture extractor. Sediment and other particulate matter filtered from the groundwater was expelled frm a top-mounted exhaust pipe. Because these droids were popular on desert planets, the M-HYD series was also programmed to perform basic repairs on the GX-8 Vaporator. (SWDB)

Mi
This young woman was the daughter of Arturo, the planetary ruler of Orocco. About a year before the Battle of Hoth, Mi was captured by Grintlok and his group of thugs and held for ransom. Unfortunately for Arturo, MI's kidnapping came just days after the Empire subjugated Orocco and frozen all the planet's financial assets, leaving him with nothing to mollify the kidnappers. Grintlok and his thugs decided to transport Princess Mi to their hideout on Raltac III, but didn't want to be caught with the girl in the hold of the Dhoro's Sorrow, so they hired Han Solo to do it. Grintlok forced Princess Mi into an empty fuel container, then told Solo to move the container and others like it to Raltac III. However, while in transit aboard the Millennium Falcon, Solo and Princess Leia Organa hear whimpering coming from the fuel container, and were surprised to find Mi inside it. They were unsure how to handle the situation, since they were already late to deliver a data disc to the Alliance base on Cataalda. Mi offered them a part of her father's fortune, if they would take her immediately back to Orocco, unware that the Empire had frozen her father's assets when Imperial forces subjugated the planet. Solo decided to stop on Cataalda first, only to find that the Alliance base had been abandoned. It was then that Tookra and his droid, K1L-R, as well as the bounty hunter Dust arrived in search of the Millennium Falcon. Although Tookra wanted revenge against Solo, Dust had been tracking them in an attempt to rescue Princess Mi, and managed to grab the Princess when Solo wasn't looking. However, in a desparate move, Princess Leia leaped onto Dust's speederbike. Dust simply gave Leia a solid punch to the jaw that rendered her unconscious, then took both women back to his ship. When Leia regained consciousness, Dust revealed that King Arturo had placed a homing beacon in Mi's shoes, which allowed the bounty hunter to accurately track the course of the Millennium Falcon. Leia then traded a data stick full of Imperial shipping codes for a one-hour head-start on their escape, giving the women a brief moment of freedom. When Dust tried to break the deal, he emerged from his starship, which gave Han Solo and Chewbacca - who had been trailing the princesses - a chance to attack Dust. Their arrival coincided with the re-appearance of K1L-R, who became locked in battle with the bounty hunter. This gave them a chance to escape to the Millennium Falcon, only to find themselves confronted by Grintlok and his thugs. At that moment, King Arturo arrived on Cataalda with Raze, and Princess Leia took advantage of the distraction to return Princess Mi to her father. Mi then explained that it had been Grintlok who originally kidnapped her, not Solo, putting an end to the entire adventure. To show his gratitude, King Arturo then offerred Mi's hand in marriage to Han Solo, who turned down the offer by jumping into his ship and taking off. Mi, who had been happy with her father's announcement, shouted at Solo as he fled Cataalda. (PLRR)

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

When an Alliance raid on the SFS facility attempted to acquire plans to prototype TIE Fighters, MI-726 took the opportunity to go rogue. MI-726 turned up years later, during a series of sabotage missions on random Imperial facilities. Witnessed claimed that MI-726 denounced the Empire before setting off explosives to destroy its targets. An Imperial bounty of 100,000 credits was eventually established for the destruction of this droid, but it was never claimed. (GMR6)

This Diamalan Senator to the New Republic requested Lando Calrissian's help in getting off Cilpar before a group of rioters intercepted him and his aide. Miatamia demanded that Lando take something as payment for services rendered, and they agreed to look into a way to help Lando protect his Varn ore mining operation. As they fled Cilpar, they were intercepted by the Relentless and what appeared to be Grand Admiral Thrawn returned from the dead. In fact, it was the con artist Flim that portrayed Thrawn, in an effort to bring news of Thrawn's "return" to the New Republic. Miatamia's testimony, as well as that of Calrissian, was suspect to some Senators because of their business proposal. Miatamia was stoic individual who believed that nothing ever happened that could not be anticipated. Miatamia wanted the Caamas Incident resolved, but only if the New Republic had every piece of information it could obtain. Unlike Ghic Dx'ono, Miatamia wanted to ensure that any punishment was correct, even if it took forever. (SOP, VOF)

Mica
A native of the planet Frego, this woman was a cousin of Lena Cobral, and greeted Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi when they arrived on Frego to escort Lena back to Coruscant. Mica was loyal to Lena, and feared that Lena was in terrible danger following the murder to Rutin Cobral. Lena later revealed to Qui-Gon when Mica was seven, she had witnessed the murder of her mother at the hands of the Cobral family, and had been opposed to organized crime ever since. However, Mica feared that Lena's fate would be that of Rutin, and went to great lengths to stop Lena from testifying against the Cobral. Mica even erased the vast computer library of data Rutin had amassed, just to keep Lena safe. When Lena agreed to meet Zanita Cobral to obtain information for her testimony, Mica followed her. Unfortunately, the meeting was a trap arranged by Solan Cobral, in an effort to eliminate Lena and Mica. In the melee which ensued, Mica stepped in front of a blast from Bard Cobral, which was meant for Lena, and took the shot herself. Mica died shortly afterward from the wound. (TOW)

Mical
see Disciple, The (KOTOR2)

Micamberlecto
The Frozian elected by the New Republic to be the governor-general of the Corellian Sector and the Outlier Systems. Wielding little real power, Micamberlecto was forced to work with former Imperial functionaries, who fled to the Outlier Systems when the Empire was defeated, only to be elected to posts by their respective planets. He was murdered by Thrackan Sal-Solo's Human League, as part of Thrackan's plan to subvert the Sacorrian Triad's Starbuster Plot and take control of the Corellian System for himself. (AC, AS, SC)

Miciluz, Diran
A native of the Ktilac Regions, this man served as the primary weapons expert on Hydrospeare Corporation's Design Team Beta, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Miciluz' work was known to Hydrospeare, as it was his design which led to the creation of BlasTech's HY-6 heavy cannon. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, it was learned that Miciluz was secretly working on no less than sixteen weapons projects for various Imperial Moffs. Miciluz was distinguished by his short stature and bright green hair, which seemed to indicate that he was descended from the crew of the Noble. (AIR)

Mick
This INS-444 window installation droid was part of the droid pool that was maintained by Congressional Crystalline, on the planet Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. Mick was often paired up with the CLE-004 droid known as Buffy, when they were dispatched to repair broken windows in Galactic City. (NEGD)

Micoda, Ichi-Tan
This young Jedi was not generally considered a candidate for promotion to the level of Jedi Knight by his instructors, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He consistently finished in the lower percentages of his class, although he excelled in the areas of law and diplomacy. His unorthodox approach to lightsaber combat often resulted in defeat, but he sometimes managed to defeat a stronger opponent with a quick, powerful thrust at the beginning of a duel. Upon achieving the rank of Knight, Micoda was assigned to the Diplomatic Corps, but he was thrust into combat when the Battle of Geonosis took place. He was among the few Jedi still at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant when Mace Windu put together the task force that was sent to Geonosis. Unfortunately, Micoda's lightsaber skills were not up to the task of fighting against multiple enemies at once, and he was killed in the arena early in the fighting. (OWS)

Micrel Power Supply
This was a generic term used to describe miniature power supplies that could be used to power small devices. Micrel supplies generated very little heat, so they could be used in prosthetic limbs and other devices that came into contact with flesh. (HTTE)

MicroApp
see Micro Applications, Incorporated (SPG)

Microaxial
Manufacturers of shipboard navigation computers. (SCRE)

Microbe Armor
Developed by the Barabel race, microbe armor appeared to be formed from inflated pouches. The pouches actually contain a saline solution which supported the growth of microscopic organisms. These organisms were created to consume and thrive on radiation, and essentially "ate" the energy which was contained in a blaster bolt. This made the microbe armor a kind of living, ablative shield. Whenever the armor was hit with a blast, it stimulated the micro-organisms to reproduce, which actually made the armor more effective over time. (GFT)

Microbial Mat
This was the term used to describe the antiseptic, bio-engineered material used by the Yuuzhan Vong to line the floor of an oqa tube. The microbial mat helped to decontaminate any Yuuzhan Vong who used the oqa to move from one starship to another. (UF)

Microcaliper
This tool was used to measure distances to extreme precision. (DOG)

Micro-chaff Launcher
This was form of starship countermeasures package was similar to a regular chaff launcher, but it expelled a cloud of microscopic chaff in the wake of the ship. Where a standard chaff launcher was designed to confuse an opponent's sensors and tracking systems, a micro-chaff system also created a debris field that was filled with particles that were too small for many sensor systems to identify. These particles were usually absorbed by an enemy ship's shield system, but they caused a widespread drain on shield energy, reducing a ship's ability to repel a laser blast. The escaping ship could then fire on its pursuer as it fled, and possibly score a damaging hit before getting away. (SWG2P)

Micro-conapt
This was the term used to describe any minimal conapt, often consisting of little more than a refresher, an efficiency kitchen, and a sleeping apparatus. (CN1)

MicroData Technologies
This small corporation produced a wide range of datapads, including the Companion2000. (EGW)

Microdroid Wrestling
This was a popular form of sport in many casinos, during the years following the Swarm War. Small droids, often no larger than ten centimeters, were built by contestants to function as tiny gladiators. Each event paired combatants, and the winner of each match moved on to the next round. The actual combat between droids took place in a secure chamber, so that patrons were not accidentally injured when the droids attacked each other. (LF4)

Micro-energy Field
This was an Imperial form of personal shield, developed shortly after the Battle of Yavin. However, the technology was very expensive, and prohibited wide-spread use of the shield. Darth Vader provided one to the actor who portrayed Ben Kenobi on the planer Aridus. Hoping to fool Luke Skywalker into believing that the actor was the real Kenobi, he used a micro-energy field to deflect laser blasts, simulating the use of the Force. (CSW)

This small energy weapon was developed by the Serps. (MC64)

Micromine
This Imperial form of space mine was developed in order to prevent its detection by normal starship scanners. Each micromine was a tiny spec of anti-matter, contained within a magnetic shell. Because each micromine was so small, they were virtually undetectable. The Empire mined the space around Shiva IV with micromines to protect their interest in the system, but the full-scale use of micromines turned out to be cost-prohibitive, and the plans for mass manufcture were scrapped. (MC53)

Micro-mine
This was a miniature version of a standard anti-personnel mine, used by the clone troopers and clone commandos of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. (RCHC)

Micromite
This insect, found on the planet Kubindi, was used to create a tasty pate' in Kubaz cooking. (SWJ10, OWS)

Micro-motivator
This small, electronic device wwas designed to emit a stimulating burst of energy. These devices were often used by criminals who fixed animal races by inserting them into racing animals and artificially enhancing the animals' drive to continue. When the race was over, the micro-motivators could be destroyed within the animal. Because of their small size, this rarely did any damage to the animal, thereby maintaining the criminal's secrets. (JS)

Micronite Charge

This delicate instrument was developed to repair the intricate circuitry of miniature computer systems, such as those found in droids. (DN1)

Micropole
A small device which was riveted to a starship's hull to keep a breech from opening any wider. (LCF)

Micro-pulse Blaster
This was an ancient form of blaster that was produced during the era of the Great Sith War. It used short, controlled bursts of coherent energy, rather than a full-power blast, to produce its discharges. Most of these weapons were machined from thoranium, which allowed them to produce more powerful blasts than other blaster weapons. (KOTOR2)

Microrepulsorjet
This was a generic term used to describe any tiny repulsorjet engine that could be used to provide lift and propulsion for small droids. (DOG)

Microspanner
This sensitive tool was used in various computer and droid repairs. It was much smaller than a hydrospanner, and could be used in the close confines of high-tech systems. (CWN)

MicroTagger
This small, stylus-shaped device was produced by Naescorcom, during the final years of the Old Republic. The stylus contained a tiny charge, and fired a small tracking dart when activated. The dart was equipped with a micro-transmitter that relayed details about the dart's location back to a receiver hidden inside the stylus. This device allowed spies to track a target from a short distance for up to two days. (MCT2)

Microtherm
This form of explosive weapon was developed during the last years of the Old Republic, but was relegated to backwater use by cheaper, though more destructive, forms of explosives. Microtherms detonations were confined to a small volume, but caused highly concentrated damage within their blast radius. (PH)

MicroThrust Processors
This computer system manufacturer was established during the Clone Wars, and produced a wide range of communications products for use by the Grand Army of the Republic. At the top of their line were systems that monitored and regulated starship power generation and distribution. At the bottom of the line were portable computers which allowed users to gain access and control of large, mainframe systems. They also manufactured a line of HoloNet tranmission systems. (CFG, EGV, NEGW)

Microvalve
This small valves were part of a fluidic control system used aboard a starship. They were required to open and close based on commands from the pilot or co-pilot, allowing pressurized fluid to move along the flow-track to activitate certain systems. (HSR)

Microwave Stunner
Manufactured by Jer'N Weapons Systems, this device looked like a hold-out blaster. It fired a coherent blast of microwave energy at its target, which disrupted the neural systems and rendered the target immobilized. (GSE)

Micro-welder
This was a small welding device, used for things like securing a restraining bolt to a droid's plating. (E4VG)

Midanyl, Sena Leikvold
This Corellian woman served as Garm Bel Iblis' chief advisor and "unofficial ambassador-at-large" during the early years of the New Republic. She met Bel Iblis when she was chosen to work for him as a Senatorial aide many years earlier, and was one of many who harbored the same prejudice he had against Mon Mothma. Sena realized before he did that Mon Mothma wasn't going to appoint herself ruler of the galaxy, but bit her lip in support of her superior's leadership. Sena was in command of the missions to meet with Tav Breil'lya on New Cov, as Bel Iblis' representative to the growing faction of beings who supported Borsk Fey'lya's bid for power. (DFR, DFRSB)

Midaz
This was the Snivvian word for "food." (HNN5)

Middle City
This was the name given to those levels of Taris that were considered a sort of "neutral ground" between the Upper and Lower City areas, during the era of the Great Sith War. Some of the more lucrative underworld leaders maintained operations in the Middle City, catering to the illicit needs of many Upper City residents. The Middle City was badly damaged when the Mandalorians launched several attacks in the wake of The Onslaught, as part of their plan to devastate Taris and draw Old Republic forces away from other battle zones. (KOR1, KOR4)

Middle Corellian
This was the modern term which described, albeit inaccurately, the Socorran dialect of the Old Corellian language. (SWJ7)

Middle Distance
This was the name given to the first Ferroan settlement on the planet Zonama Sekot, located in the planet's equatorial region. Established nearly sixty years before the Battle of Naboo, the Middle Distance served as a base of operations for the groups which manufactured Sekotan starships. Some twenty-nine years after the Battle of Yavin, Zonama Sekot made a blind jump into hyperspace as a reaction to the sabotage of Nom Anor. Without time to protect itself, the planet was unable to control the damage that occurred on its surface while in hyperspace. Much of the southern continents were destroyed, and the Middle Distance suffered large amounts of damage from fires and scorching temperatures. To counteract this, Sekot created intense rainstorms, which drenched the Middle Distance for many weeks. (RP, UF)

Middle Generation
This was the name used to describe those members of the Melida/Daan society who were of middle age, between twenty and fifty. They maintained their Daan or Melida heritage, but remained neutral during the intense civil war that broke out twelve years prior to the Battle of Naboo. The Middle Generation pledged a tentative support to The Young when it appeared that the children could end the civil war. When The Young began to struggle with its control over the planet, the Middle Generation backed out. After Cerasi's death and the negotiated peace, the Middle Generation agreed to step forward and help create a new, combined government. (UP)

Middle Rim
This was another name for the Mid Rim Territories. (FR)

Middle Yutanese
This language was spoken in the eastern portion of the Expansion Region of the galaxy. (CN3)

Midi-chlorian
This species of microscopic organism was known to the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic as a symbiotic creature that existed within the cells of every living creature. Life in the galaxy was dependent upon the midi-chlorians, although the exact genesis of the microscopic midi-chlorians was unknown. There was no pattern that dictated the concentration of midi-chlorians in a being's make-up, but a higher count of midi-chlorians in a being's cells seemed to allow them to have stronger contact with the Force. Human beings had an average midi-chlorian count of about 2,000 per cell, although Anakin Skywalker was documented as having a count greater than 20,000 per cell. A higher count indicated that the being's ability to contact and control the Force was greater, but true mastery of the Force could only come from intense concentration and study. Thus, the Jedi Knights devoted themselves to the study and control of the Force, and developed techniques that could detect high concentrations of midi-chlorians in young infants. Later investigation revealed that concentration was only one factor in a being's ability to connect with the Force. The loss of a limb often caused a being to experience a decrease in their connection to the Force, a decrease that was sometimes worsened by the medical use of prosthetic limbs. The connection between the loss of body parts and the ability to use the Force was not a direct relationship, but seemed to hold true for most beings.

During the last years of the Old Republic, some Jedi began to believe that the relationship between midi-chlorians and the Force might actually be the opposite of traditional thinking. They believed that the Force created the midi-chlorians, as a way for it to reach out to life throughout the galaxy. In the wake of the Clone Wars, most information regarding the midi-chlorians was erased from galactic computer banks, either by the handful of surviving Jedi Knights who wanted to prevent the Imperials from learning how to use cellular testing to identify other Jedi survivors, or by Emperor Palptine's decree that any information on the Jedi and the Force be erased from public repositories. Exploration into the midi-chlorians came to a halt, although the few Jedi who managed to survive Order 66 retained their own personal knowledge. Yoda later explained to Luke Skywalker that an individual's ability to commune with the Force could be disrupted by the application of electrical shocks, as well as by the loss of a limb or other body part. It was unknown if the electric shocks affected the midi-chlorians, or if they simply served to break down the Jedi's ability to concentrate on the Force around them. (E1, E1N, MJH, NEGA, DSTR, LF7, CWWS, LLOW)

Midlithe Crystal
This rare crystal was found in only a few locations in the galaxy, most of them near the planet Ord Mantell. Midlithe crystal was one of the few minerals in the galaxy that existed only in the vacuum of space, making research and study of the crystal quite difficult. Nova Orion Industries was one of the first corporations to experiment with midlithe crystals, using them to improve the drive systems of podracers and speeders. (SWGAL)

He held the rank of Major in the ISB, and was one of the most enthusiastic supporters of Emperor Palpatine. Migg served the Empire on Coruscant, working to "verify the loyalty" of the planet's inhabitants. What made Migg's eyes unforgettable was the fact that they were cybernetic, and their "pupils" glowed with a red light that mad him look evil. (CCW)

Mighella
This woman was one of the more powerful Witches of Dathomir, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. She was taken from Dathomir by Alexi Garyn, the leader of the criminal organization Black Sun, to serve as his personal bodyguard on Ralltiir. In addition to her combat skills and command of the Dark Side of the Force, Mighella had a limited amount of prescience, and once predicted the execution of all nine of Garyn's vigos. Her vision was partially correct, as discovered when Darth Maul tracked Asa Naga to Garyn's fortress on Ralltiir. Unaware of the Sith Lord's true identity, Mighella leaped to prevent him from attacking Garyn. She used a combination of Force Lightning and other Dark Side tactics to keep Maul at bay, until he revealed that he was, in fact, the apprentice to Darth Sidious. Maul redoubled his attack, and Mighella was helpless against him. She died knowing that she had given her own master a chance to escape. (DM)

Migress was one of the Brolfi who was ordered to acquire burst thrusters, which were to be used to create the missile that would be used to assassinate Passel Argente and the Brolfi leaders, who were meeting to discuss planetary mining rights. Migress was the intermediary of the group, accepting the burst thrusters from purchasers like Jhompfi, before secretly transporting them to the missile construction facility. (OF)

Mihal, Kane
This was once a common street criminal, during the early years of the New Order, until he finally hit it big. He became known for his loud clothing and his louder voice, which he used to cover up his mistakes and his lack of refinement. Much of his bravado was meant to impress the females of the galaxy, and many of his fights involved brash maneuvers that were choreographed to attract the most attention. (CH72)

Mihalik
This Svivreni male was a simple miner who worked for Toxis Metals during the early years of the New Republic. When a meleenium heist took place at the Qua'Tahc mines, and several agents of the Republic were injured, Mihalik took it upon himself to hunt down the thieves, who were led by Rani Quanic. He took from Af'El in his own ship, the Resolve, and was unseen for many years. (SWJ10)

Miid Ro'ik Warship
This immense, ovoid warship was grown by the Yuuzhan Vong to serve as the standard vessel in their fleet. Measuring some 1,620 meters in length, the Miid Ro'ik warship resembled a striped stone, with alternately smooth and rough surfaces. The rough surface of the ship was studded with hundreds of dovin basals and sixty plasma projectors. Emerging from the ship's main body were arms of red and blue coral that acted as docking bays for the coralskippers it transported into battle. These arms ran from the nose of the ship toward its rear, on the left, right, and dorsal flanks of the ship. The Miid Ro'ik warship required a dedicated crew of 1,280 Yuuzhan Vong warriors, and could accommodate up to 1,950 troops and 8,200 metric tons of cargo or ordnance. Note that The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels indicates that the Miid Ro'ik could transport up to 3,000 troops. In order to remain viable, a Miid Ro'ik needed to feed and gain sustenance. Thus, the Yuuzhan Vong often fed the organic refuse created from dead warships to their Miid Ro'ik, in order to keep the warships alive. When he first encountered the interior of a Miid Ro'ik, Boba Fett likened the experience to being back inside the gut of the Sarlacc. (NJOSB, NEGV, PM)

Miilarta, Lol
This woman, a native of the planet Terephon, was her planet's Ambassador to the Hapes Consortium, at the time of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy.

Mij'ika
This was a nickname used to describe Mij Gilamar. (RC66)

Mijos
This swamp-covered planet was located in the Anoat Sector, along the borders of the Yarith and Javin Sectors. The Lutrillians tried to establish several spaceports on Mijos, but improper planning meant that most of them sank into the mire. (WOA33)

Mika
This female Farghul rose to power as the leader of the Crimson Nova chapter of the Bounty Hunter's Guild, during the last years of the Old Republic. An angry female, Mika had been brought into the hunting business by Stroth, who had lost her parents when a group of Jedi Knights shut down their "family business." Mika's parents had been trafficking death-sticks, and the Jedi had been alerted to their activities. Rather than submitting to arrest, they chose to fight and were killed in the battle. Mika never forgave the Jedi, especially the leader of their task force, Mace Windu, and attitude was only further heightened when she met Harrll. Thus, when the contract to kill Jedi Knights came in from Kh'aris Fenn, Mika eagerly accepted it, despite decades of bounty hunter policy to the contrary. The Jedi proved to be too strong for the members of Crimson Nova, and would have killed them all if Mika had not been stunned into submission by Stroth, who then requested a cease-fire. Mika was eventually succeeded as head of the Crimson Nova by her daugther, Breela. (RSF, SWI89)

Located near a long range of mountains, Mikish was the site of the headquarters for the Restimar Mining Corporation. The crimelord Nirama also maintained a presence in the city. (LFC)

Mikiyuna
This Huttese word meant "everyone." (GMR5)

Mikket
This small, cricket-like insect was characterized by the droning sound it makes by rubbing its legs together. (POT)

Mikki Mikki
This young boy was slain by Darth Bane, shortly before the Battle of Ruusan, as the Dark Lord set out to kill the children of Ruusan in order to eliminate any potential Force-sensitives and to gather his own strength for the coming battle with the Jedi. Mikki had been working with his brothers to collect scrap for their father, but all were slain by Darth Bane. Note that Darth Bane: Path of Destruction indicates that Mikki and his family were natives of Ambria, and that Bane murdered them to gather strength from the Dark Side of the Force, while he tried to combat the synox toxin that Githany had used to poison him. (JVS, DBPD)

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

Miko
This given name was common human males across the galaxy. (GCG)

Miktha
This male Jawa was a known associate of Longo Two-Guns during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Jabba the Hutt issued a bounty for his capture in connection with a riot that occurred after patrons of a local podrace purchased exploding chubas, an event that seriously curtailed profits from the sale of normal foodstuffs. The bounty was eventually claimed by Jango Fett, who was on Tatooine trying to arrange a meeting with Jabba. (BH)

Miktiss
This Saurton was a member of the Des'mar faction, during the early years of the New Republic. (DARK)

Mila
This Aramandi caste, or akia, was known to be the most liberal of the castes. They were also the most business-like, and were open and receptive to offworld visitors to Aram. (AE)

Mila
This planet, located in the Brak Sector of the galaxy, was one of the few worlds to avoid Imperial notice, during the early years of the New Order. (LJ9)

Mila System
This planetary system, located in Brak Sector, was located in the restricted Aramand Cluster. (FBS)

Milacass
This Kerestian bounty hunter worked for Pari' Notgoth, until he was implicated in an assassination attempt on Notgoth's life. Rather than try to prove his innocence, Milicass fled Tamarin Sector and wandered the Outer Rim for six years before joining the Granse Confederacy. Milicass was easily distinguished from other Kerestians by his seemingly pupilless eyes, a result of being too close to an explosion at the Clariv Shipyards which left him temporarily blind. His eyesight eventually returned, but his eyes had been scarred from the blast. (GG12, AIR)

Milagro
This planet, located at a key hyperspace junction point, was caught between the factions of the New Republic and the Empire, some five years after the Battle of Yavin. The New Republic was ultimately victorious, keeping the hyperspace lanes near the planet open. (ECH, NECH)

Milarian
This planet, located in the Trans-Nebular Sector, served as the Imperial sector capital during the era of the New Order. (GSE)

Milatvac
This city, located on the planet Svivren, was the location of a large mining operation. (SWJ10)

Mildew Rubdown
This was a relaxing massage favored by the Neimoidians, and involved the use of redolent fungi instead of fragrant oils. (DMSH)

Mildly
This adjective was used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance in place of the word "extremely." (GG9)

Miles Lane
This was one of the many side-streets found on Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. (T24)

Miliac
This male Twi'lek 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)

Mili-Corp
This small manufacturer produced a number of powered armor suits, during the Old Republic. (GUN)

Milinae
This woman, a native of the planet Corellia, was the twin sister of Trilinae. Mil was something of a smuggler, although she was sympathetic to the cause of the Jedi Knights during the last years of the Old Republic. She accompanied her sister to Almas just prior to the Clone Wars, and fought beside Tril and Jedi Master Darrus Jeht in several minor skirmishes within the Cularin System. (LFCW)

Militar
This gas giant was the seventh and outermost planet of the Metellos System. It was orbited by five moons. (CCW)

Militarists
This group of Old Republic politicians and military leaders rose to prominence during the years leading up to the Stark Hyperspace Wars. The Militarists advocated the formation of a strong Army and Navy to protect the Republic, both from internal threats and external ones. They believed that the Jedi Knights were not a solution, since they did not answer directly to the Old Republic Senate. Nevertheless, the Senate continually vetoed any bill which involved direct funding of military build-up. (SHW)

Military Creation Act
Devised and proposed during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, the Military Creation Act was meant to allow the Old Republic to form a "grand army of the Republic" to put a stop to the growing secession movement. Never fully embraced by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, it was strongly opposed by the Senator from Palpatine's homeworld of Naboo, Padme' Amidala, who formed the Campaign Against Republic Militarization in an effort to find a peaceful resolution to the secession problem. When Senator Amidala was nearly assassinated upon arriving on Coruscant for the vote on the Act, Palpatine tried to stall the vote by calling for increased security measures. Many Senators believed Palpatine had overstepped his bounds in delaying the vote. However, when it was discovered that the Separatists had been secretly assembling a massive droid army on the planet Geonosis, some form of conflict became inevitable. Because the Old Republic would have been defenseless against the Separatists, the Act was passed when Jar Jar Binks - sitting for Senator Amidala while she was under the protection of Anakin Skywalker - proposed that Chancellor Palpatine be given emergency powers to deal with the Separatists. (HNN4, HNN5, E2, SWI68)

Military Education Complex
Located in Tipoca City, on the planet Kamino, this was the primary facility used for the training of the clones who were created for the Grand Army of the Republic. A variant atmosphere battle simulator - otherwise known as a VABS - was installed in the complex to ensure that the clones were able to operate in, and anticipate the problems associated with, different planetary environments. The complex was regularly patrolled by KE-8 enforcer craft, to ensure that dangerous situations - either with the VABS or with rogue clones - could be swiftly resolved. (GORW)

Military Intelligence
This was the primary fact-finding branch of the Galactic Alliance's military forces, during the years following the Swarm War. Military Intelligence worked with the Galactic Alliance Intelligence Service to form as complete a picture of the galaxy as possible. However, there were still gaps in their knowledge, as evidenced during the Corellia-GA War. (LF4)

Military Mobility Shield
This was the brand-name of Merr-Sonn's personal shield system. It was originally designed for military use on battlefields, where it could absorb nearly fifty blaster bolts before it failed or needed to be recharged. (NEGW)

Military Research and Development Division
This branch of the Adascorp conglomerate was formed in the wake of the Great Sith War, to provide the Old Republic with artificial musculatures for battle droids and injured soldiers. The division's discovery of methods for combining medical prosthetics with droid technologies proved wuite profitable during the height of the Mandalorian Wars. (KOR5)

Military Scrip
This was a form of currency recognized throughout the galaxy, even during the early years of the New Order. It was used as the basis for all financial transactions between military agencies. (HSL)

Militia Model
This was the term used to describe the idea of using local militias and guerrilla forces to augment the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Jedi Knights and Masters who led squadrons of clone troopers realized that their success depended too much upon the clone troopers, and there was a limited supply of them. By having a small band of clone troopers incite the local militias into fighting back against their Separatist oppressors, a squadron could be deployed to other locations, thereby expanding the area of coverage. This model worked well on Malastare and Giju, but failed on worlds such as Haruun Kal. (NECH)

Militia-camo Bongo
This was the military version of the tribubble bongo, and was used to transport Gungan warriors to battle. They were somewhat slower that the civilian version, being encumbered by their weapons systems. (E1A9)

Militiagung
This was the Gungan term for any footsoldier of the Gungan Grand Army. The militiagungs were made up of part-time soldiers who were generally inexperienced, but made up for it with sheer determination and courage. (IG1, GBC)

Militiamen
This was the generic term used to describe the rank-and-file members of the Cularin Militia. (JCT1)

Milk
This was a common beverage that was consumed for its health benefits as well as its calming effect. Milk could come from a variety of mammalian species, from banthas to nerfs. Luke Skywalker and his uncle, Owen Lars, shared milk at dinner after buying C-3PO and R2-D2, and Leia Organa Solo consumed warm milk to settle her stomach during her first pregnancy. (E4N, HTTE)

Milkened Tuber
This root vegetable was used in many gourmet dishes, once the internal seed-husk was removed. (HNN5)

Milking
This mild expletive was popular with many Basic-speaking races during the height of the Clone Wars. It was used in statements like, "This milking headgear is useless!" (MBS, DSTR)

Milko
This cobbled-together droid was a bounty hunter who was active during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He traveled to Dagobah in an effort to hunt down Luke Skywalker, after the Empire set a bounty on his head. When Luke managed to defeat him in combat, Milko broke down and begged for mercy, claiming that he had eight children and a sick mother on Danchian Prime. Luke let him go free, knowing that Milko's reputation as a bounty hunter would be tarnished because of his failure. It was believed that Milko was actually part of a test that was devised by Jedi Master Yoda, although whether Luke was successful or not was a matter of opinion. (T15, UVG)

Milk-stone
This opalescent stone was found in large veins on the ancient planet of Ossus. It was used in the construction on wondrous buildings and facades, especially by the ancient Jedi Knights. (SWJ15)

Milk-whelp
This was a slang term used to describe any infantile or immature being. (OWS)

MILL-247-EE
An industrial droid that was part of the emergency systems on Tem Chesko's cargo hauler. When Tem Chesko's ship was disabled and floated for years through space, he nearly went crazy before he found the droid. He called it "Millie," since its creators had given it a female form and voice. They were constant companions during the remaining 61 years of isolation in space. When Chesko's heart gave out, Millie donated hers. She operated on Chesko and surgically removed his heart and replaced it with hers. Thus, Chesko survived to eventually reach Tatooine. (TMEC)

Millaflower
Native to the planet Naboo, this plant produces thousands of small, pink blossoms. The scent of these blossoms was so sweet and pure that it had been rumored to soothe even an angry rancor. Some perfumery owners kept fields of millaflowers in bloom for the scent, using it in the creation of specialized perfumes. Bouquets of millaflowers were considered wondrous gifts by both the Naboo and the Gungans. It was discovered that the flowers could be refined to extract the chemical which was responsible for its calming effect, and when refined and distilled it created a powerful tranquilizer. (GF, SON, GMR2)

Millano, Tosk
This Corellian outlaw absolutely hated sewers and underground passages. (HAS)

Millanti
This starship was owned and operated by Ellorrs Madak and Baniss Keeg during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. (OWS)

Millavec, Dorin
This scheming Imperial officer served as the Deck Commander aboard the Star Destroyer Crucible during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He hoped to be promoted to the command deck, but when he learned that Nas Ghent had been picked by Darth Vader to train a group of starfighter pilots aboard his ship, Millavec was angry and jealous. He felt sure that he was being set up to fail, to prevent his promotion. So, in addition to going along Vader's orders, Millavec began to plot his own actions. After allowing Ghent to go on a mission with real pilots, Millavec ordered his pilots to execute Maneuver 717, hoping to eliminate Ghent without any incriminating evidence. Ghent managed to survive, and came for Millavec. Millavec then lied to Ghent, claiming that it was Vader himself who ordered the Manuever 717, as part of his assignment. Then, Millavec supplied Ghent with a group of cutthroat criminals to serve as his "trainees." He worked behind the scenes to try and keep Vader and Ghent apart, while plotting how best to make the most of his plans for promotion. (T21)

Millennial, Darth
This Sith Lord was one of the few who emerged after the Light and Darkness War and the Battle of Ruusan. Distinguished by his three eyes and his ability to see into the future, Darth Millennial was originally trained by Darth Cognus, but was often at odds with his Master over the Rule of Two. While Darth Cognus fully supported Darth Bane's Rule of Two, Millennial was a supporter of Lord Kaan's Rule of the Strong. After escaping from his master, Darth Millennial set out on his own, hoping to preserve the Rule of the Strong for future generations of Sith. He established his base of operations on the remote world of Dromund Kaas, and over time he developed the dark side religion known as the Dark Force. Over the years, the number of accolytes grew steadily, and any being who disagreed with the Dark Force an dits teachings were destroyed. The followers of the Dark Force eventually became known as the Prophets of the Dark Side. (WOTC, OWS, EGF)

Millennium Astro-Engineering
This starfighter manufacturer was based on the planet Tharkos. They created many different designs, and were very profitable during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. Their internal motto ran something like "war was good for business." Their plant was destroyed by Alliance starfighters, after the Alliance learned that they were creating starships for the Empire. (CSWDW)

Millennium Blossom
This plant grows only on the harsh jungle world of Lemmi VI. It was extremely rare, and it blooms only once every 100 years. As soon as the plant blossoms, the main plant dies. It was also carnivorous, and will eat almost anything. (GMS)

Millennium Celebration
This was generic term used on many planets to denote a holiday that occurred once every thousand years, when the local calendar changed to a new millennium. (BH)

Millennium Entertainments
One of the original Signatory Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority, Millennium was one of the galaxy's largest entertainment and information combines. They owned majority control of Galaxy News Service, and had interests in TriNebulon News, CoreDataFiles, and other, smaller news agencies. Millennium also owns Millennium Holos. (CSA)

Millennium Falcon
According to popular urban legends, this prototype starship was built by Millennium Engineering. Zoltan Starkid's secretary leaked information about the ship to Han Solo for 10,000 credits. Although Han Solo eventually obtained possession of this ship, it was not the Millennium Falcon that Solo used on a regular basis. There was a continuity problem here, despite the fact that this story was published by Dark Horse. (CSWDW)

Millennium Falcon
This was the name of Han Solo's souped-up YT-1300 smuggling ship, which had been modified from its "original" specifications over the years. Han came to own it after winning it in a Sabacc game from Lando Calrissian. Lando had won the ship from Cix Trouvee during an earlier sabacc match at Bespin, just before he started hunting for the Treasure of Rafa. He had no idea how to pilot it, but he recognized its abilities. As he grew to become a better pilot, Lando continued to upgrade the ship's systems, and it became his primary mode of transportation. After Han and Lando (had just completed a run of the Kessel Spice Mines together/got together on Bespin), Lando was in a gambling mood. He was running low on credits, so he added Han's choice of any ship in his used ship lot. Han chose the Falcon from among the junkers, much to Lando's dismay. Once Han got control of it, he added a non-spec Imperial power plant and hyperdrive system, as well as an impressive amount of armament: upper and lower quad laser cannons, an underside sweep gun, multiple forward laser gun pods, and a pair of concussion missile tubes. The ship continued to astound those not familiar with its military-issue components and higher than normal lift/mass ratio. The ships' central ladderwell, leading to the upper and lower quad-laser cannons, was equipped with separate gravity generators, allowing the two people manning the cannons to operate in reciprocal gravity fields. After the Battle of Bakura, the Millennium Falcon was swapped back and forth by Han and Lando in a series of Sabacc matches. Lando finally won the ship outright, but opted to give it to Han as a gift, in order to end the inane series of card games.

It was believed that the Millennium Falcon contained many of its original systems, as well as many modifications, which included a Novaldex Stasis-type Shield Generator, a Koensayr TLB Power Converter, a Fabritech Sensor Array Controller/Interpreter, a Chedak Frequency Agile Subspace Radio, a Fabritech ANy-20 Active Sensor Package, an Imperial IFF Transponder, a Corellian Engineering Corporation Emergency Power Generator, a retractable Taim and Bak Auto Blaster Cannon, a Quadex Power Core, 2 Escape Pods, a Hanx-Wargel SuperFlow IV Shipboard Computer (Millennium Falcon indicates that the ship had a Rubicon navigational computer), a Torplex Tandem Flight Computer, an Incom N21-4 Power Converter, a Corellian Engineering Corporation Subspace Hyperdrive, a KDY Aft Deflector Shield Generator, a Seinar Fleet Systems Active Sensor Pulse Generator, Cryonic Reserve Power Cells, a Torplex Fore Deflector Shield Generator, a Siep-Irol Passive Sensor Antenna, a Carbanti Signal-Augmented Sensor Jammer, a Carbanti 29L Electromagnetic Countermeasures Package, a Nordoxicon-38 Anti-concussion Field Generator, a Corellstand C-8 Life Support System, 2 Arakyd ST2 Concussion Missile Launchers (2 racks of 4), an Ion Flux Stabilizer with Alluvial Dampers, a KapriCorp Acceleration Compensator, a Microaxial HyD Modular NavCom Unit, Gelieg 20m-Cp Strobe/C-beam Lamps, an Enlarged/modified Cargo Bay, and an Ax-108 Surface Defense Cannon.

During his early career as a smuggler, Solo used the Millennium Falcon to transport spice and other illegal goods, but he steadfastly refused to transport slaves. He made the Kessel Run several times, and set the record for completing the run in less than twelve parsecs with the ship. Many other smugglers claimed that Solo's record was tainted for any number of reasons, including the fact that he had to dump a cargo of spice in order to escape an Imperial customs vessel he encountered near the Maw. Solo always had a feeling that the Millennium Falcon did not appreciate being used in such a manner, but he could never identify an actual cause for his feelings. The ship served him well during the Battle of Yavin, when he flew it during a last-ditch effort to give Luke Skywalker a clear chance to blow up the first Death Star. Han loaned the ship to Lando Calrissian during the Battle of Endor, and although the main rectenna dish was broken off while running through the superstructure of the second Death Star, the Millennium Falcon emerged otherwise unscathed from the battle.

In the years following the births of Han Solo's three children, he began refitting the Millennium Falcon and removing some of its more military components, in favor of safety and security. The concussion missile launcher were the first weapon removed, making it easier to load and unload cargo. During the struggle to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong, Han painted the Falcon with matte-black paint, hoping to make it harder to spot. In this way, he hoped to work with Droma to locate and rescue Roa and the Ryn's family. In the time of relative peace that followed the Corellia-GA War and the death of Jacen Solo, Han and Leia did their best to be retired, and took their granddaughter Allana on an adventure to seek out the Millennium Falcon's history. Allana had found a strange device in the ship's holds, which started them on their adventure. They knew from Lando that he had acquired the ship from Cix Trouvee, who had acquired the ship from the Molpol Circus, and it was Trouvee's children who pointed the Solos to Waglin. Wagling then gave the Solos information on Vistal Purn, who revealed that the ship had been purchased by Molpol's Traveling Circus as a transport for the owner, Dax Doogun, and the ringmaster of the circus. After the circus was ambushed by the Black Hole Pirates, Doogun was forced to sell the ship to Cix Trouvee, who eventually lost it gambling with Lando Calrissian. Doogun was able to tell the Solos that he had purchased the ship from Parlay Thorp, who explained that she had been given the ship by someone on Vaced who may or may not have been Quip Fargil.

The Solos tracked Fargil down to his home on Vaced, hoping to learn more about the ship's early history. It was Fargil who revealed that he had given the ship its name because it was as "fast as a bat-falcon, and resilient enough to last a millennium". When the Millennium Falcon was nearly stolen by Flitcher Poste, Han was able to piece together the earliest stages of the ship's history. He learned that "Quip Fargil" was actually Tobb Jadak, who had also been searching for the ship. The Solos learned that the ship had originally been designated as YT 49272ZED when it came off the assembly line at Corellian Engineering Corporation's Orbital Assembly Facility 7, some sixty years before the Battle of Yavin. It was owned by Corell Industries, Limited, for a dozen years, changing names and pilots several times before it was sold to Kal and Dova Brigger. The siblings renamed it as the Hardwired and used it as a transport vessel until Dova was killed. Kal fled to Thyferra, renaming the ship to be the Wayward Son. After Kal was killed during the Stark Hyperspace Wars, the ship was forgotten for about fifteen years before it was acquired by the Republic Group. The ship operated under the name Stellar Envoy for several years, before it crashed into the Jendirian Valley Three in an accident that nearly cost Tobb Jadak his life. The ship was rebuilt, with forward mandibles from a scrapped YT-1300p, by Bammy Decree, who created the ship for Rej Taunt. Taunt renamed it the Second Chance, but only managed a few flights with the ship before it was impounded by the Imperial military. The real Quip Fargil then stole the ship from the impound, with the help of Zenn Bien.

When Jadak then tried to activate the strange device, the ship suddenly leapt into hyperspace, taking them on a journey to Tandun Three. There, they found a planet that had been Vongformed by the Yuuzhan Vong, but still retained a number of towering ruins that were of Rakatan origin. The ship received a signal from one of these structures, prompting Han Solo to try and land the ship on the structure. Jadak and C-3PO realized that the structure expected the ship to be configured like the Stellar Envoy, but the Millennium Falcon's escape pods had altered its configuration. After ejecting the pods, the structure opened itself up, lowering the ship into its interior. Inside the temple, they were joined by Lestra Oxic, and they discovered that the Republic Group had hidden the Insignia of Unity in one chamber. The ship proved to be a key after all, but the Insignia was discovered to be a fake. (E4, E5, E6, LCM, LCF, LCS, HSE, HSR, HSL, SWSB, TB, HTTE, JS, CPL, CCG, THG, HT, JE, EGW, MF)

Millennium Falsehood
This was the second mock-up of the Millennium Falcon used by Wraith Squadron to draw out an Imperial force. The first involved the use of two X-Wings with overlapping shields, a unit which presented transpoder codes to appear to the be Falcon and draw out Admiral Trigit at Folor. The Millennium Falsehood was an actual YT-1300 freighter, painting and marked up to resemble the Millennium Falcon. Transponder codes were altered just enough to imitate the real ship at a first glance. The ship was flown by Wedge Antilles and Chewbacca himself, during a raid on Kidriff 5, in an effort to draw out Warlord Zsinj by having "Han Solo" show up on many of Zsinj's worlds. (SOC)

Millennium Fighter
One of the many starships designs created by Millennium Astro-Engineering. It was one of the largest ships created by Millennium. (CSWDW)

Millennium Fist
This was the name of the starship in a story told by Han Solo to his four-year-old son, Anakin, shortly before bedtime one night. The story revolved around the exploits of Luke Skywalker's hand, after it was cut off by Darth Vader on Bespin's Cloud City. Luke's hand used the ship to escape from Bespin and return to the Alliance. (T8)

Millennium Hawk
This small starship was created by Millennium Astro-Engineering. It was a spear-headed ship with a large central power core flanked by two sublight drives. It was popular among the smugglers and criminals which hounded the Empire during its expansion across the Outlands region. Note that Classic Star Wars: Devilworlds claims that the prominence of the Millennium Hawk led Millennium Astro-Engineering to create the Millennium Falcon, which directly contradicts most other references. (CSWDW)

Millennium Holos
This subsidiary of Millennium Entertainments created the holo series Who were You To Accuse Me? during the era of the New Order. They also owned several swoop racing and sports teams. (CSA)

Millennium Oak
A species of tree native to Damualer Triac. (GG9)

Millfly
This small insect was native to Commenor. (NEGC)

Millicent
This woman was one of Sprax's concubines, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. Millicent was also one of Sprax's best agents, a closely-guarded secret meant to keep everyone in the Nalroni's organization off their guard whenever she was around. Unknown to Sprax, however, was the fact that Millicent really worked for Prince Xizor himself, keeping an eye on Sprax's dealings along the Sisar Run. In a double twist, Millicent din't know she worked for Xizor, having been hired by Guri. (SSR)

Millich, Nar
A Major in the Imperial armed forces, Nar Millich longed to gain power and prestige within the Imperial Navy. To this end, he tried to curry the favor of Darth Vader during the construction and operation of the first Death Star. (JKG)

Millinar
This temperate world had virtually no axial tilt, so it was always blanketed in beautiful weather with minimal rainfall. The land masses of the planet never rose very far from sea level, and were dotted by natural springs and underground streams. Most of the plant life found on Millinar was succulent in nature, with deep-reaching root systems that hoarded water. The natives of the planet were a group of hermaphroditic aliens that had developed strange but fundamentally good skills in using the Force. The planet itself had never been actually placed on a starchart, for most explorers and scouts believed that its existence was just a rumor. (GMH, WOTC)

Million Shot
This was a slang term used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe any mission that was given one chance in a million to succeed. Such missions were often referred to as "very easy." (GG9)

Millipod
This red-shelled insect was native to the swamps of the planet Kubindi, where it was raised as a foodsource by the Kubaz. (MIS6)

Millitile
This long, reptilian creature inhabited the upper branches of the gankto tree on its homeworld of Kothlis. It fed on the symbiospore fungus which often collected in the branches of the tree. Millitiles moved about on thousands of tiny legs, but could only run for short distances when frightened. These creatures were the favorite prey of the myntors. (SPG)

Millius Prime
This was one of the many moons that orbited the planet Iego. Millius Prime was one of the homeworlds of the Diathim race, whose members were also known as Angels. During the build-up to the Clone Wars, the Confederacy of Independent Systems established a small base on Millius Prime, driving off the native Diathim in order to make the base secure. The Diathim were forced to migrate to Iego and other habitable worlds within the Extrictarium Nebula. The main node of the Separatist laser screen that was used to prevent unauthorized entry to the Iego System was located near Millius Prime, and was destroyed by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, with help from Jaybo Hood. (CWTV18)

Millto, Yor
This slave owner worked in the city of Mos Espa, some two years before the Battle of Naboo. Yor Millto owned Amee and parents, but was barely affected when Amee's mother, Hala, was taken in a slave raid by Krayn. (JQ)

Milmit
This thug was one of Gorga the Hutt's hired guns. Milmit was the first to discover the whereabouts of the Spirit of Jabba, but was unable to stop Big Gizz and Spiker from stealing the craft. (TJT)

Milnn
This man served as a Captain in the Imperial Navy, flying with and leading the Delta Squadron of TIE Fighters under the command of Admiral Giel during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was captured by Luke Skywalker and Shira Brie just after Admiral Giel captured a teezl, and his identification codes allowed Luke and Shira to infiltrate Giel's armada. (MC61)

Milo
This man worked as chief adminstrator of the mensix Mining Facility on Mustafar, during the early years of the New Order. He constantly found himself at odds with his friend and head foreman, Chivos, when supplies that had been promised to the rest of the miners were never delivered. Milo feared that a lack of production on the miners' part would result in swift punishment by the Empire, and was worried that any Imperial retribution would be his own fault. It had been Milo who had been forced to agree to a new contract by Darth Vader himself, although he was unaware of the incredible demand that the Empire would make on the faiclity. In order to save the lives of his miners and escape from any trouble with the Empire, Milo called in a favor from an old friend, to obtain supplies and get the Mensix facility repaired. (SWGAL)

Mil-Star IV
This was one design of Tion Mil/Sci sublight starship engine. (EGV)

Milvayne
This planet, in the Gyrica System, was the site of an Imperial base during the Galactic Civil War. Mon Mothma once ordered an attack on the base, and commanded Garm Bel Iblis to lead the attack. He refused, because the plan of attack would lead to the deaths of too many soldiers. She relieved him of his duties to the Alliance, and Iblis happily agreed. This allowed him to strike out on his own, and develop his own way of bringing down the Empire. (TTSB, EGC)

Mim
This was one of two moons which orbited the planet Ossus. An airless ball of riock, Mim once served as a zero-gravity training center for the ancient Jedi Knights who lived and trained on Ossus. (TOJC, GORW)

Mima
A planet known for its business centers. (ZHR)

Mima II
A planet in the Lar system, Mima II was the homeworld of the Bilar race. It was a small, tropical world with a 15-standard-hour day and a 103-local-day year. Because it orbits very close to Lar, Mima II's tectonic plates were pulled across its molten core like a moon causes tides on a water world. This results in an almost continual reformation of the planet's landscape, but it also releases large amounts of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and other materials needed to create life. Thus, new species were regularly being found on a world that already teems with life. (GG4)

Mimban
This was the local name for the plabet Circarpous V. (SME)

Mimban Cloudrider
This Thyferran bacta freighter was captured by Rogue Squadron and used to appropriate bacta from Ysanne Isard's cartel. Wedge Antilles offered the pilot's job to Booster Terrik, who refused. Booster did agree to run the Rogue's outpost at Yag'Dhul, though. (BW)

Mimbanite
An alien race native to Circarpous V, they look like large, furry balls of various colors and patterns. They have 4 short, furred legs on their bottom half, and 4 arms on their top half. Their feet have two toes on each, and they have a hairless tail. Their eyes were wide and inquisitive. They shun contact with other inhabitants of Mimban, and were believed to be related to the Coway. When the Empire took control of Mimban, they chose to leave the Mimbanites alone, since the race was unsuited to the physical demands of slavery. (SME, EGA, SWDB)

Mimbrane Organism
This creature was essntially an organic recording device. A thin, pasty-white sheet when first encountered, the mimbrane seems to consume the sounds of its surroundings. The more it records, the more it swells up into a pillow shape. No longer than a human finger, the mimbrane had rudimentary sight buds that allow it to sense between light and dark. Their brains were very small, but that can be trained to follow a simple set of instructions. This combination of abilities makes them the perfect tool for beings who wish to surrepticiously record a conversation for later playback. These creatures grow in huge colonies on one of the Q'nithian System's moons, living deep within the fault and fissures of its rocky surface. (MA)

Mimetic Alloy
This was a generic term used to describe any manufactured alloy that had properties that allowed the alloy to blend into its surroundings. Devices created using mimetic alloys were often used in espionage or other covert activities, because these devices were disguised when the alloy altered it appearance to match nearby materials. (MF)

Mimetic Circuitry
This form of cybernetic technology used tiny circuits to replace nerve cells and other conductive networks in the body of a living being. (SWG2P)

Mimetic Suit
This term was used to describe any clothing made from a unique material that changed color to mimic the wearer's surroundings. The clothing was impregnated with specialized circuitry that analyzed the visual elements of the environment and altered the coloring of the cloth. (COD)

Mimetic Tarpaulin
This form of protective sheeting was made from a unique material that changed color to mimic the immediate surroundings. The cloth of the tarpaulin was impregnated with specialized circuitry that analyzed the visual elements of the environment and altered the coloring of the cloth. This allowed a being to cover up objects in such a way that most visual searches simply failed to locate them. (UF)

Mimic
This brand of sensor decoy was produced by MerenData to compete with the Corellian Engineering Trickster drone. Like the Trickster, the Mimic sent out sensory information along electromagnetic and holographic frequencies to make itself appear to be a real starship. (PP)

Mimn'yet
This was a meat dish of questionable origin, enjoyed by the Barabel race. (MJH)

Mimn'yet Surgery

Min
This was the Snivvian word for "I" or "me." (HNN5)

Min, Axkva
This woman was a member of the Nightsisters clan on Dathomirian witches, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Axkva Min was known for her ability to draw strength from the life-energy of any being she killed. In order to gain more power, she ostensibly began training a group of followers from the Spell Weavers. When it was discovered that she was simply killing these sisters to increase her own pwer, Axkva Min incurred the anger of her fellow Nightsisters, and was exiled from her clan. She was sealed in a cave, in the hope that she would never again cause trouble. However, she did manage to escape, prompting an epic battle near the Village of Aurilia to finally bring her to justice. (SWGAL, SWG2P)

Min, Axvka
see Min, Axkva (SWGAL)

Min min
This Old Corellian phrase was a pronoun for "I" or "myself." (SWJ7)

Min Min Heights
Located on the edge of the Doaba Badlands, the Min Min Heights was an area littered with rocky outcroppings, small caves, and shallow alcoves. Named for the Min Min Lights, the area was believed to be the resting place of the souls of Socorrans who have died over the millennia. During the day, the Heights provide a wondrous view of the Badlands. Despite the ghost stories surrounding the area, it was also a favorite spot for lovers who wanted to be alone. (BSS)

Min Min Lights
This mysterious sparks of light appear in the late dawn and early dusk on the edge of the Doaba Badlands, on the planet Socorro. Concentrated in an area which became known as the Min Min Heights, the lights appear suddenly and move across the landscape singly or in groups. The exact nature of the lights had never been discovered, but the native Socorrans believe that each light was the essential spark or personality of a person who had died. This belief gave them their name, for the term min min in the Socorran and Old Corellian tongues means "I." (BSS)

Min min vil ut valle Nharquis
The worst Old Corellian oath, it roughly translates to "I will eat your ashes." The speaker usually pointed vigorously at him- or herself while speaking. (SWJ7)

Min min volgoth noh petchuk
This Old Corellian phrase translated to "I want no bad blood between us," and was often whispered to indicate the speaker's desire for non-aggression. (SWJ7)

Mina
This purplish moon orbited the planet Hanchin, which was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. It was best known as the site of a religious retreat, which was maintained by the Vashan people at Inicus Mont. Because of its celestial positioning, Mina was always covered in light from Hanchin, resulting in very short nighttime periods. Note that this moon was referred to as Qina as well as Mina in Star Wars Gamer, issue 9. (GMR9)

Mina

Minak, Lett
This man was a smuggler who worked for the Empire after the Battle of Endor. He was employed by Moff Feleea, but their personal relationship was strained. Minak was approached by Moff Relans, who offered him the opportunity to work as a spy for his organization, Minak agreed, and outwardly worked for Feleea aboard his freighter, the Shadow. On the side, Minak fed Feleea false information given to him by Moff Relans. Working this way, Minak received protection from both Moffs, ensuring his own safety and a regular income. (HR)

Minamore, Tigona
This was the name of a distingished member of the Toong society. (UANT)

Minan
This was the name used to describe the human population of the moon Mina. (GMR9)

Minas-Lergo
This small corporation produced a variety of cargo and passenger cars, used to move about in sealed environments on hostile planets. (GSE)

Minch
This Jedi Knight, a member of the same species as Yoda and Yaddle, served the Jedi Order some 700 years before the Battle of Yavin. Minch and several other newly-commissioned jedi Knights were dispatched to the Bpfassh System, where a Bpfasshi Dark Jedi had been terrorizing the system. Aboard the Takara, Minch confronted the Dark Jedi, but was no match for his formidable skills. However, Minch's Jedi Master, a Zabrak named T'dai, arrived to corner the Dark Jedi. Unfortunately, the Dark Jedi took his own life, rather than be captured by the Jedi. The Dark Jedi's Master, however, managed to escape and fled to Dagobah. Minch took a starfighter and chased him down, against the orders of Master T'dai. Although Minch managed to defeat the Bpfasshi Master in a cave on the planet, the Dark Jedi's tainted blood seeped into the ground and imbued the planet with Dark Side energy. Note that this character might actually be the Jedi Master Yoda, who was given the name Minch Yoda in early drafts of the script for Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. (T16, TAS)

Mind Bloom Effects Module
This unusual droid effects module produced a mesmerizing plasma effect in the air around the droid. (SWG2P)

Mind Drinkers
This was the Basic translation of the term used by the Aing-Tii to describe the strange beings who lived inside Sinkhole Station near the Maw cluster of black holes. These beings preferred to call themselves Mind Walkers, referring to the way that they used the Force to leave their physical bodies behind in order to find the truth about the galaxy. (FJ2, FJ3)

Mind Evaporator
This was the Basic translation of a Wookiee term for any addictive video game that lacked any form of educational purpose. (X3)

Mind Lattice
This was the term used to describe the imprinting that many Skakoans had performed on their own brains, allowing them to perform specialized tasks or operate specific equipment. The imprinting of the mind lattice required precise calibration, and was performed only when necessary or in desparate situations. (VIS)

Mind Limiter
This was the generic term used to describe any drug that limited specific areas of activity within the brain of a sentient being. These drugs were often used during interrogations, to break down a being's mental resistance. (CWTV24)

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

Mind Prison
This unusual, box-shaped device was believed to have been created by the ancient Rakatan people. Outwardly, it resembled a cargo crate. However, when improperly opened, the mind prison took control of the opener's mind and drew them inside. To the unwitting victim, the inside of the box resembled a featureless, white room lined with pillars. Within the room was a Rakatan individual who challenges the victim to answer a series of riddles. The Rakatan himself claimed to have been a former leader who started a civil war and was imprisoned for his crimes. Although his body was long-dead, his mind was trapped in the room, and the only way he could get out was to take over another being's body. Thus, if the victim failed to answer his questions correctly, the Rakatan took control of their body and could attempt an escape. (KOTOR)

Mind Shard
This was an offensive form of telepathy, in which the wielder drove daggers of psychic energy into their victim's mind. The effect was that the victim's neural pathways were disrupted, and the victim felt intense pain in their mind. (UANT)

Mind Walkers
This was the name chosen by those individuals who gathered at the derelict space station known as Sinkhole Station, near the Maw cluster of black holes, where they could commune with the Force in their own way. The Aing-Tii referred to these individuals as Mind Drinkers, because their devotion to their beliefs seemed to drain away their minds, instead of nurturing them. Mind Walkers were individuals from a wide range of Force users, including the Jedi Order, the Disciples of Ragnos, the Fallanassi, and dozens of other groups that discovered their ability to commune with the Force. These beings had all come to the realization that the physical world in which they lived was nothing more than a fantasy, and that the only real world existed completely within the Force. They eventually shed their individual beliefs about what the Force was, and simply accepted that the Force existed. The physical world was no longer important, since it was nothing more than a form chosen by the Force. The chose to ignore their bodies and devote their lives to entering a coma-like state in which they were connected almost directly to the Force. They twisted the Jedi Code to their own beliefs, stating that "There is no life, there is only the Force." These beings referred to their activities as mind walking, instead of mind drinking, but over time their physical bodies began to deteriorate due to a lack of sustenance and care, while the individual's mind was immersed in the Force. Within the Force, Mind Walkers discovered their Force presence, which was essentially a swirl or eddy in the Force that animated the physical body. Each Mind Walker abandoned their physical body, which they had deemed an illusion, in search of a "paradise dimension" in which there was no pain, no emotions of anger or fear, and no suffering. Instead, the Mind Walkers sought a place where they could experience the ecstacy of simply being.

The station in which they hid themselves also suffered during their prolonged periods of mind walking, and many its systems were barely operable. When Luke and Ben Skywalker discovered the station some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, they found that many of the Mind Walkers were either injured or badly under-nourished. They also learned that the station's alarms had been ringing for some twenty-seven standard months, and had started ringing just after the destruction of Centerpoint Station. This event triggered one of the greatest influxes of beings to Sinkhole Station, but it also seemed to alter the existence of the "paradise dimension" that the Mind Walkers sought. (FJ3)

Mind Walking
This was the term used by Qwallo Mode, Seek Ryontarr, and the other Force-sensitive beings who were drawn to the Maw cluster of black holes to describe the form of all-consuming meditation they performed. These individuals, who called themselves Mind Walkers, gathered within Sinkhole Station located near Stable Zone One, where they were free to follow their beliefs. The term "mind walking" stemmed from the sensation that was experienced while in a state of deep communion with the Force. Individuals explained that when they tried to move their Force presence within the Force itself, they seemed to be at their destination without actually trying to get there, as if they only had to think about moving in order to do it. The Mind Walkers believed that life itself was only a dream, and that their bodies were simply ghosts from an endless sleep. They preferred to stay in their meditative state, forgoing nutrition and other physical needs, in order to live in the netherworld of their minds' connection to the Force. This meant that the beings who engaged in mind walking literally starved themselves to death in order to avoid staying in the "dream world" of life. For this reason, the Aing-Tii referred to those individuals who practiced mind walking as Mind Drinkers, because they allowed their minds to be consumed by the Force, to the detriment of their bodies. The Mind Walkers, however, claimed that the Force would sustain their bodies until they returned to them. (FJ3)

Mind yo hyead
This Neimoidian command translated into Basic as "Mind your head!" (GPB)

Mindabaal
This planet was decimated by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. Its populace was nearly wiped out, but there were rumors that the rightful king escaped the destruction. His two daughters survived because they were off-planet at the time of the attack. Mindabaal was located in the Outer Rim Territories. (SWJ5)

Mindabaal Custom Yacht
This 30.1-meter-long pleasure craft was designed to be customized to meet the needs of individual owners. It needed a pilot and co-pilot to operate, and could transport up to eight passengers and 35 metric tons of cargo. The base model was unarmed. (PP)

Mindabaal Royal Academy
A prestigious boarding school found on Mindabaal. (SWJ5)

Min-Dal Company
This armor manufacturer attempted to test its JX4 prototype Gladiator battle armor on the criminals in the Soruus System. These criminals were pitted in battles to the death, which were wagered on by the bureaucrats. However, the Gladiator armor was so good that the criminals were able to shield themselves with it and escape from the prison. They caused heavy amounts of damage before being recaptured by Imperial forces. Min-Dal was then forced to cancel its production of battle armor. (SWJ3, GUN)

Mindar
A planet where Han Solo and Leia Organa battled a squad of stormtroopers. (CPL)

Mindavar
This Outer Rim world was populated during the last years of the Old Republic. A virus struck the settlers just as Palpatine was taking control of the galaxy, and their calls for help went unnoticed in the turnover. The majority of the population was wiped out. (SWJ4)

Mindemir
This planet, the primary world in the Mindemir System, was a member of the Old Republic. Jenna Zan Arbor had planned to use the water supply of Mindemir in her experiments, but was blocked from doing so by the laws of the Senate. In a daring move, Senator Uta S'orn proposed the lifting of these laws, ostensibly in the name of saving lives on other worlds, and then falsified Senate records to ensure that the measure was ratified. (TDR)

Minder
This was a slang term used to describe those Old Republic physicians who were also empaths, and worked to ensure the mental and emotional well-being of their patients. Minders found a particular niche during the Clone Wars, helping patients as well as doctors handle the stresses of on-going conflict and death. (MBS)

Mindharp
This fabled, magical talisman was considered the most valuable of the Treasures of the Sharu. The Mindharp was a meter-long tool shaped like a fork, very similar in appearance to, but much larger than, the Key of the Overpeople. It was hidden in the Great Pyramid on Rafa V, awaiting the emergence of the Bearer and Emissary. According to legend, the Mindharp was the tool that the Toka could use to recall the Sharu. The legends were built by the Sharu themselves, in order to hide themselves in the guise of the Toka. It was said that the Mindharp would call the Sharu back to aid the Toka in an emergency. However, the true purpose of the Mindharp was to unlock the hidden knowledge of the Sharu and re-establish their intelligence networks. These networks were hidden eons ago when the Sharu were frightened by a superior power. They hid all their knowledge in huge computer banks, and locked all but one of their number in the disguise of the ignorant Toka, awaiting a time when the danger had passed and they could re-emerge. The Mindharp was pursued by Lando Calrissian and Mohs during the early years of the New Order, after Lando was set up by Ottdefa Osuna Whett to be the Bearer. They ultimately recovered the Mindharp, but it was taken into the possession of Duttes Mer, who was to provide the artifact to the Tund Sorcerer Rokur Gepta. However, Mer activated the Mindharp himself, setting off cataclysmic changes in the Rafa System that destroyed the life-orchards and restored the intelligence of the Toka, this bringing about the restoration of the Sharu civilization. (LCM)

Mind-Jam
This coin-game often found in bars and casinos. (HSE)

Mindnet
This Marasan construct links the cybernetic implants of all Marasan government officials into a single communications path. It allows each of the electnodes to contribute to a group decision, which can be made almost instantaneously once all information was available. The Grand Daern then collates the data from the electnodes and issues a final judgement. (GG12)

Mindnight Fire Clan
This was one of the many Togorian clans. (MIS8)

Mindor
This planet was the innermost world of the Taspan System, located in the galaxy's Inner Rim, near the Hydian Way. Officially known as Taspan I, Mindor was once a beautiful world that was home to several resorts. Its location in the galaxy relegated Mindor to minor status among resort worlds, but this gave those beings who knew of its beauty a chance to escape from the rest of the tourist crowd. About a year after the Battle of Yavin, Mindor's sister world of Taspan II was destroyed in an event known as the Big Crush. Although the majority of debris from Taspan II's destruction were thrown toward the outer edges of the system, many pieces were ejected toward the center. Mindor itself was caught in the cataclysm, and pieces of Taspan II tore through its atmosphere and rendered the surface of the planet an inhospitable wasteland. Larger pieces punched through the planet's crust, setting off seismic and volcanic activity that destroyed the landscape and sent toxic fumes and debris into the atmosphere. This left Mindor with air that was too dangerous to breathe, and the tiny particles of metals and ores that remained suspended in the atmosphere wreaked havoc with communications. The planet's oceans were nearly boiled away, and what water remained on the surface was quickly polluted. Mindor had sufficient gravity to capture many of larger chunks of rubble as they passed by, creating a screen of hundreds of artificial satellites that moved around the planet in erratic orbits. The effects of the Big Crush were nothing compared to the damage planet suffered during the Battle of Mindor, about a year after the Battle of Endor. Shadowspawn had chosen Mindor for its strategic location, which was emphasized by the orbiting rubble. It formed a deep screen that capital ships could not penetrate, forcing any invader to carry out a prolonged attack with starfighters or send its entire force through the debris field in an attempt to get inside it. The Imperials also planted gravity stations on thousands of asteroids, which when activated, sent the asteroids into random paths. Some of these asteroids were captured by Taspan's gravity and plunged into the star, setting off a series of massive coronal ejections of radiation. One of these ejections brushed the atmosphere of Mindor, setting it on fire with a blaze that spread outward in a growing circle, burning away the atmosphere. Making matters worse, Lord Cronal had installed a ring of gravity stations in the ground beneath the Shadow Base that, when activated, tore the base from the ground and sent it skyward. The effects of the gravity stations were similar to what occurred during the Big Crush, and Mindor began to tear itself apart as gravity slices rippled through its core. The solar radiation streaming from Taspan scoured the surface of Mindor, stripping it of organic life as the planet exploded, adding its rubble to the debris from the Big Crush. (ECH, NECH, LSSM)

Mindorese
This was the name used to describe the human inhabitants of the planet Mindor. (LSSM)

Mindori
This one of the many small mining settlements established on the planet Kallistas. Located north of Trevalis, Mindori was the second-oldest settlement on the planet. The settlement was located nearby the planet's largest natural oasis and fruit grove. (GG10)

Mind-rub
This was the common term used to describe the ability of a Force-sensitive individual to erase the memory of another individual. (LF2)

Minds and Perceptions: A Comparative Study of Persuasive Techniques During the Galactic Civil War
This work described, in detail, the various methods used by the Empire, the Corporate Sector Authority, and the Alliance to extract information from captives. It was written by Ulm-Aaa-Janzikek, and was published by Triplanetary Press. The work also described the many ways in which the Empire and the Corporate Sector Authority used subliminal suggestions in their propaganda and advertisements to influence public opinion and perception. (CSA, OWS)

Mindspook
This was a slang term used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe any spy or intelligence agent who had some sensitivity to the Force. (GG9)

Mind-to-Mind
This was the Basic term that described the Vratix method of communication. It was the only phrase that the Vratix could use to describe the hive-like communication between individuals. (SWI64)

Mind-touch
This was the term used to describe the technique used by UnuThul to contact huge numbers of Killiks at one time. The mind-touch was based on the hive communication abilities of the various hives of the Colony, and was augmented by through the use of the Force. (DN3)

Mind-Ugly-Ug
A term used by Halla for bureaucratic fools like Grammel. (SME)

Mindwarper Module
This form of DarkStryder technology was powered by the intense energies contained in the Lifewell. When activated, the Mindwarper module emitted a form of energy that reduced the willpower of a being and rendered them unconscious. Like most DarkStryder technology, though, the Mindwarper 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)

Mindwipe
This was another term for the complete erasure of a droid's memory. This term was often used by the droids themselves, since it implied that the droid's computer memory was actually a form of mind, and not a piece of technology. Mindwipes and memory erasure was important for many reasons, especially if a droid had become unstable due to bad programming, or was infected by a computer virus. Mindwipes also occurred when a droid was privy to sensitive information that could not be shared outside of certain circles. Because their memories were based on computer storage systems, droid remembered huge amounts of data. A saying went, "If you want to know what goes on, ask the droids." Many owners wiped the memory banks of their droids to ensure that sensitive or private information did not fall into unwanted hands. (MBS, DSTR)

Mind-witch
This unique humanoid species had intense mental abilities. They lure individuals near to them, then probe the being's mind to find out what they like and desire. A relationship was then established with the individual, which the mind-witch forming a psychic link by creating an illusory environment which was highly desirable to the individual. The mind-witch can then leech the mental and life-energies of its victim in order to replenish its own energies. Some well-skilled mind-witches also have some telekinetic powers. (CSW)

Mine
This was the generic term used to describe a detonation device that can be distributed into open space and left there, lying in wait for unsuspecting ships to pass by. There were many different kinds of mines. Most were considered passive, or contact, mines: they sat in space until a passing ship physically touched them, at which point they exploded. Some were heat-seeking mines, armed with lasers that were targetted to the source of heat. There were also combination mines, designed to explode on contact but also armed. There were three kinds of combination mines: Type A, a 15-meter-long mine armed with a single laser cannon and a 5-RU hull; Type B, similar in armament to the Type A mine, but with a different shape; and Type C, a 5-meter-long mine armed with a single laser cannon, a warhead launcher, and a 5-RU hull. The rarest kind of mine, known simply as an active mine, was equipped with proximity sensors and a propulsion system. Whenever a large object triggered a proximity alarm, an active mine homed in on it and moved to intercept it. This characteristic made active mines difficult to deploy and maintain, leading to their limited deployment. (TIE, WOTC)

Mine Crab
This crustacean species was often found in damp mine shafts. (TFUN)

Mine Droid
This form of Separatist combat droid was developed during the early stages of the Clone Wars. (CWNP)

Mine Mine Mine
This was the name of Rufus Trammel's personal star yacht. (DC)

Mine Rat
This was a species of subterranean rodent that was native to the planet Dantooine. (SWG2P)

Mineclan
This was the term used to describe a family on the planet Averill which owned and operated a mine. Each mineclan was an autonomous entity, but all mineclans worked together for the greater good of the planet. (SWJ13)

Minehold
This was the name of a family-owned mining operation on the planet Averill. Before the New Order, many mineholds existed, with each family inheriting the mine through succeeding generations. When the Empire subjugated Averill, the individual mineholds were nationalized into a monopolistic entity. (SWJ13)

Minelayer
This was the generic term used to describe any starship that was designed to deploy space mines around a specific target or location. These ships were often given improved stealth technology, to help avoid being discovered by regular sensor sweeps. Minelayers were equipped with speciallized hyperdrive systems that allowed them to quickly jump to supralight speeds and then drop back into realspace, which made it easy to reach a danger zone, deploy mines, and escape before security forces realized the minelayer was present. The use of self-deploying mines that were programmed to locate and move to a specific location made the mission of minelayers that much easier, since the amount of time the ships spent in realspace was cut to the minimum time required to dump all their mines and escape. (LF8)

Minelayer
This Imperial ETR-3 escort transport was destroyed by the Azzameen family during their attempt to acquire a spy satellite, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)

Miner, Pillar
This man was among the slaves who were captured by the Yuuzhan Vong and forced to work aboard the dhuryam seedship controlled by Ch'Gang Hool, shortly after the Battle of Coruscant. Pillar suffered massive injuries when he mistakenly wandered into a grove of immature amphistaffs. He failed to realize that the young creatures were just as dangerous as the mature adults, and was viciously attacked. Jacen Solo tried to save him, but his injuries were too severe. (T)

Miner Town
This settlement served as the unofficial capital of the planet Mon Gazza, during the final years of the Old Republic. (CWCC)

Mineral Assets Partnership
This large corporation funded a number of mining operations during the last century of the Old Republic. They went bankrupt after a number of expensive failures. (SWJ1)

Mineral Exploiter
These starships, developed by the Hutts under the auspices of the Orko SkyMine corporation, were designed to process the ores found in asteroids. These huge, boxy ships were simply huge cargo ships which were connected to mouth-like scoops. The scoops collected asteroids and held them in place while turbolaser emplacements blasted the asteroids to rubble. The throat of the Mineral Exploiter then sifted the rubble for the more precious ores, sending them to processing units that formed them into ingots. The useless material was discarded. They were designed by Bevel Lemelisk, who had been captured by Durga the Hutt for the purpose of designing a superweapon the Hutts could use to control the galaxy. Unfortunately, he designed them too well, for the first two devoured each other, thinking that the ores they each contained were found in regular asteroids. (DS)

Miners Alliance
This was the alliance formed by the various mining operations that worked in the Naboo System. Formed during the height of the New Order, the Miners Alliance struggled to ensure fair and equal payments for their members, once the Empire exerted its control over the Naboo System. The Alliance eventually managed to win a measure of control, and was able to expand its influence into the Corellian Sector and the Dathomir system. (SWGAL)

Miners' Guildhall
Located in Tel Boillin, this was the primary meeting place for the geode miners who worked on the planet Endregaad during the early years of the New Order. (TF)

Miner's Horror
This immense creature was first discovered 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin by a group of pirates who stumbled upon a specimen. Their distress calls were almost ignored, and the only ship to respond found a holed wreck and a number of unusual creatures. The crew managed to kill one and return with it, and subsequent encounters have been quickly investigated. Measuring more than 20 meters in length when fully-grown, the miner's horror resembled a huge, segmented mollusk with several large spines sticking out from its back. Their heads were dominated by a single, immense eye, and their mouths were filled with saw-like teeth which can dig through solid rock. They exist in the hard vacuum of space, floating from asteroid to asteroid to obtain food. They grind up any rocks they locate into digestible pieces, and a single miner's horror had been documented to consume an entire asteroid field over the course of several decades. Despite their fearsome appearnce, they were slow-moving, and can be avoided. (COG)

Miner's Town
Located on Mon Gazza, this was the town that grew to support the miners who worked in the planet's spice mines. (RAC)

Miner's Yard
This was the name given to the area of space near the planet Tatooine, where miners established a presence during their attempt to mine ores from the meager asteroid belt in the Tatoo System, during the Galactic Civil War. (SWGAL)

Mine-spire
This was the Basic translation of the Muun name for those vault-spires that were set aside exclusively for mining ores that were eventually exported off the planet Muunilinst. (GORW)

Minestra
This Rendili StarDrive light corvette was part of Drea Renthal's pirate fleet. It had been captured from a skirmish with Imperial forces and modified to have concussion missiles and ion cannons to supplement the normal laser turrets. Renthals' distinctive blazing claw insignia was obvious on both sides of the ship. The Minestra, along with the Too Late Now, destroyed the Vigilance during the early hours of the Battle of Nar Shaddaa. (THG)

MineSystems
This speciallized manufacturer produced a variety of life support and emergency equipment used by miners. (FBS)

Minet
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 Minet indicated a gem, jewel, or other treasure. (GCG)

Mineth
This was one of the many names given to female Bothans. In the Bothan language, it meant "musical" - or, more literally, likes to sing." (GCG, WOTC)

Ming, Callista
A Jedi Knight from Chad III, this woman was born with the name Callista Masana. She grew up with her family on an ocean ranch, migrating on the Algic Current with the herds of tsaelke. Callista was discovered by the maverick Jedi Master Djinn Altis at a late age, and agreed to train with him at his facility on Bespin, and later aboard his personal training ship, the newly-christened Chu'unthor. It was during this training that she first met a fellow Jedi named Geith Eris, and the two were part of the small force Master Altis allowed to serve with the Jedi Order during the final stages of the Clone Wars. When Callista later accepted the assignement to intercept and disable the Eye of Palpatine, she and Geith - who was now her lover - were unable to completely eliminate the threat of the ship. So, Callista decided to stay behind and try to disable the ship while Geith returned to get more help. When Geith was killed during his escape attempt, Callista sacrificed her physical body and left her Force-aura in the ship's automated firing computer. Years later, when Luke Skywalker, Cray Mingla, and Nichos Marr rediscovered the Eye of Palpatine, Callista fired on them, thinking that they were Imperial troops come to recover the ship. Then, Irek activated the ship's remote controls, re-initiatiing its original mission. Callista was unable to determine the causes, but she was able to sense Luke's string Force-presence when he was brought on board. She helped him rescue Cray and Nichos, but refused Luke's attempts to store her consciousness in a computer. However, when Cray decided to stay behind and detonate the ship, she gave Callista her own physical body. Callista escaped the Eye of Palpatine, but she could not longer touch the Force. So, while she loved Luke, she felt that they could not be together forever. The two tried everything they could think of to help her regain her Force sensitivity, but she only succeeded in finding the Dark Side. She vowed that, if the Dark Side was all she could touch, then she wanted nothing to do with the Force. This opened a rift between herself and Luke, which widened with each failure. When the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 was attacked by Admiral Daala's fleet, Callista took matters into her own hands, and set out to strike a blow against the Empire, even without the abilities of the Force. She commandeered a TIE Bomber and landed on the Knight Hammer, quickly sabotaging the ship's complement of TIE Bombers to detonate their payloads and rip out the Super-class Star Destroyer's engines. She then went to confront Daala, allowing the Dark Side to wash over her as she tried to kill Daala. Daala succeeded in stunning Callista, while the Knight Hammer plunged into the core of Yavin. Callista was not killed when the ship exploded, however. She recovered, and escaped in one of the command-level emergency pods. She fled the New Republic and Luke, setting out to break through the barrier of the Dark Side in order to recover her powers. She felt that she needed to do this herself, and sent a final message to Luke, asking him to understand. Her travels led her to Nam Chorios, where she was drawn into the web of Taselda and Beldorian the Hutt. She tried to learn about the Force from both former Jedi, but was unable to truly regain her power. Taselda enslaved her with the promise of returned strength, using Callista to strike at Beldorian. After escaping the old woman, Callista realized that she was trying too hard to restore her Force sensitivity. She felt that this would lead herto the Dark Side, so she allowed herself to become Beldorian's slave as well. This fear - the fear of falling into the Dark Side completely - was what kept Callista from rejoining Luke. She came to understand the strange relationship between the Force in the Spooks and the Therans, and joined one of their troops in working to keep the drochs from leaving the planet. It was Callista who re-initiated Leia Organa-Solo's lightsber training, while they were spending time in a Theran camp. After the defeat of Dzym and Seti Ashgad, Callista again fled Luke, joining Umolly Darm and Be' as rock ivory hunters until she found her way in the Force.

Minga
This musical style was popular among the youths of the galaxy, during the height of the New Order. It was similar in many respects to the b'ssa nuuvu style. (GMR6)

Mingla, Cray
A beautiful woman, Cray also happened to be one of the galaxy's foremost innovators in artificial intelligence during the early years of the New Republic. She was also somewhat adept in the use of the Force, having attended Luke Skywalker's academy on Yavin 4. Tall, slim, and energetic, Cray's expertise in AI earned her a doctorate at the Magrody Institute. She fell in love with Nichos Marr, and the two were engaged when they arrived at Yavin 4 for Jedi training. When Nichos was diagnosed with Quannot's Disease, Cray worked feverishly to create a cyborg body for him. She delved into the Ssi-ruuk entechment techniques, but could not completely recover his humanity. She continued to strive to make Nichos a better "man." (COJ)

Mingla, Margolis
Cray's mother, she never manifested any power with the Force. Her mother was strong with the Force, as was her daughter, Cray. (COJ)

Mingula
Boba Fett encountered this ZZ-class freighter adrift in space, during a routine mission to Coruscant at the height of the New Order. Despite that fact that sensors revealed that there was no life aboard the freighter, its automated distress signal continued to operate. Fett diverted from Coruscant to investigate the Mingula, primarily because the salvage rights on the ship would have approached ten million credits or more. The holds of the Mingula contained a treasure trove of riches, as Fett and his captive, Tsumo, discovered, including the sarcophagus of Volpau. They also found the Zylurian crew dead, their bodies covered with strange boils and the floor littered with the wings of dead insects. The boils turned out to be the breeding sacs of a species of carnivorous insects known as Ubuugan fleshborers, which burst from the bodies when they were disturbed. After Tsumo caused the fleshborers to burst forth from the body of a Zylurian, Fett was forced to use his flamethrowers to kill them in order to escape. The resulting fire caused the power cells aboard the Mingula to overheat and explode. The resulting blast destroyed everything onboard, including most of Volpau's funerary effects. Fett managed to keep his ceremonial crown, which more than covered the loss of Tsumo. (BFS)

Mini Cannon
This was a generic term used to describe any hand-held projectile weapon that was capable of firing small slugs or explosives at a target. (TFUN)

Mini Rail Cannon
This small but high-powered weapon was produced by Rika/Moab during the last decades of the Old Republic, as an upgrade to the weapons systems of a combat droid. (YDR)

Miniad
This was the modified FA-504s transport used by Nir Rinit, during his tenure on the planet Naalol. It was armed with a single laser cannon. (GMR5, WOTC)

Miniaturized Translator Droid
see M-TD (HTF)

Mini-blast
This was a generic term used to describe any small, explosive device that created a focused detonation with minimal sound and smoke. These devices were favored by spies and infiltration troops, who needed to gain access to an area without attracting unnecessary attention. (LJ3)

Mini-detonator
Any small, hand-held detonation device which can be thrown at its target. (AS)

Mini-Huvicko/Yuzabi Dowser Droid
This was the official designation of the M-HYD divining droid, which was first produced by Huvicko/Yuzabi during the final years of the Old Republic. Many of these droids remained in service for several decades. (SWDB)

MiniLab
This portable testing device provides quick, though not often accurate, chemical and biological analysis of substances found in the field by scouts and explorers. (GG8)

Minim, Vec
This alias was adopted by Quip Fargil, after he settled on the planet Vaced. Under the guise of Vec Minim, he agreed to meet he Tobb Jadak, some forty-three years after the Battle of Yavin. When he asked Jadak about the whereabouts of Zenn Bien, Vec suggested that Zenn Bien was a weapons dealer on Yaga Minor. Jadak was able to counter with the knowledge that Zenn Bien was actually a hair dresser on New Balosar, Minim knew that Jadak was telling the truth. Jadak and his companion, Flitcher Poste, claimed to be reporters who were working on a story for the Coruscant Journal about the YT-1300 that was once owned by Quip Fargil. He was surprised when Jadak and Poste were not with the current owners of the ship, and was even more concerned with they knew nothing of Doctor Parlay Thorp's role in the ship's history. His concern was only heightened when Jadak knew nothing about Han Solo, but Poste seemed to choke on the name. (MF)

MiniMag
This shoulder-mounted proton torpedo launcher was produced by Krupx during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, but remained in production for many decades. It was considered a simpler weapon than the Merr-Sonn PLX, but it was nevertheless equally effective. There were adaptor kits produced for the MiniMag that allowed it to accept other projectile weapons, and the changeover could be done in the battlefield in short order. The MiniMag lacked a sophisticated targetting system instead relying on the sighting abilities of its user. The MiniMag was one of many Clone Wars-era weapons that were later used by the stormtroopers of the Empire. (SHPT, SWDB)

Minimum Safe Distance
This was a term used by starship pilots to define the point in space where a ship could safely make a jump into hyperspace. Usually, MSD was defined as the point at which a planet's gravity well no longer could interfere with the hyperdrive's cutout systems, allowing the pilot to jump into hyperspace without tearing his ship apart. (DSTR)

Mining Barque
Designed and built by Trilon, Incorporated, this mobile mining vehicle was quite common among scouts and explorers who also did their own mining. At 80 meters in length, the Mining Barque can carry six miners and had a cargo hold which can contain up to 1,000 cubic meters of ores. Specialized sensor arrays allow its crew of three to search out precious and semi-precious metals and minerals from orbit, and the ship's holds were equipped with testing and processing systems to ensure only the high-quality products were retained. The Barque was hyperspace-capable, and, although it was minimally shielded, it was armed with a turbolaser and a heavy mining laser. Of course, the mining laser was designed to cut through rock and exposed the ores below. However, several less reputable scouts have taken to landing their Barque on a competitor's ship and using the mining laser to cut it open. (GG8)

Mining Corps
This branch of the Empire was created to locate and obtain the raw materials and natural resources that were required to support the immense manufacturing needs of the Empire. The laborers who toiled in the Mining Corps came from a number of sources, including slaves and those individuals who flunked out of the Imperial Academy. (LJ8)

Mining Crawler
This huge machine was similar to the Jawa Sandcrawler, and performed the function those sandcrawlers were designed to perform. They blast up large pieces of rock and draw it into huge processing facilities within its structure. The processed ore was stored for later delivery to a central collection center, while the scree was simply dumped out. (SWJ8)

Mining Digger Crawler
Originally developed by Corellia Mining Corporation, these lumbering vehicles were used to mine ores from a variety of planets. Measuring 120 meters in length and standing twenty meters tall at the cockpit, the Mining Digger Crawler moved about on four huge treads that could move the vehicle at speeds around thirty kilometers per hour. Note that The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels indicates that this vehicle was just 36.8 meters in length. A crew of fifty-seven - four pilots, twelve engineers, forty workers, and a "crawler master" - were required to operate the machine. A number of these mining vehicles were dispatched to the planet Tatooine, after initial colonization attempts hinted at the possibility of metals and ores hidden in the desert. When these claims were proven false, the crawlers were abandoned. They were later scavenged by the Jawas, and modified to serve as sandcrawlers. Note that Secrets of Tatooine indicates that the Mining Digger was manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. (SOT, AEG, NEGV, E4VG)

Mining Droid
Large, stocky droids used in the spice mines of Kessel to collect the spice hidden there. They were green in color. (GDV)

Mining Guild
Based on Coruscant, this quasi-political body controlled much of the mining throughout the galaxy during the last decades of the Old Republic and into the era of the New Order. It was originally formed in the early days of space exploration, and may pre-date the formation of the Old Republic. Most historians agreed that the Guild originated in the Core, but were unsure of its exact origin. During the final decades of the Old Republic, the Mining Guild was ostensibly a member of the Commerce Guild. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Emperor Palpatine seduced the Guild's officers into aligning themelves with the Empire, solidifying his sources of raw materials for the Imperial war machine while allowing the Guild to remain "independent." The Guild rose to a new level of power under the government of the New Republic, and began to command high prices for the ores its members delivered. (E5, CE2, LOE, WOA34, NEGD)

Mining Investment Statues
This was the set of rules and regulations that were established for the mining industry on the planet Bandomeer, after the Offworld Mining Company was removed from power and expelled from the planet, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. The MIS ensured that the mining operations worked together to monitor Bandomeer's resources and use hired labor, and not indentured workers, in their workforces. (GORW)

Mining Laser Platform
Built by Quarren Industrial, this repulsorlift sled was equipped with a heavy-duty boring laser. It had a shielded cockpit, and was used by the Quarren for moving through the rock and material of the mantle of Calamari. (DU)

Mining Machine
This was the term used to describe the hundreds of mining facilities that were originally established by the Old Republic on the planet Makem Te. Each Mining Machine was a complex of barracks and driller garages that operated in its own quarry, extracting ores, minerals, stone, and even spice from the planet's crust. Because ownership of the Mining Machines was not based on Makem Te, these facilities were often targets by the fanatical penitents of the Temple of the Beatific Razor. (GORW)

Mining Machine Number 9
Located to the south of the city of Thousand Thousand, on the planet Makem Te, Mining Machine Number 9 was one of the largest open mines found on the planet. Surrounded by a complex arrangement of barracks and garages, the mine plunged deep into the planet's crust, revealing layers of rock, ore, and raw spice. (WOTC, GORW)

Mining Machines
This was the term used to describe the immense, self-contained settlements created on the planet Makem Te when the Congress of Caliphs opened the planet to offworld corporations. The Mining Machines were centered on deep, open mines, from which workers extracted valuable ores and raw spice. Most of the Mining Machines were built and maintained by the Old Republic, although many were badly damaged by the Temple of the Beatific Razor during the years just prior to the Clone Wars. (WOTC, GORW)

Mining Outpost 11
This was the primary base from which the independent miners - and later, the Empire - staged mining operations within the Graveyard of Alderaan, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (GA)

Mining Outpost Station
Developed and manufactured by YsreTech, this 400-meter-long space station was designed for mining and refining of sapce-borne gases. It required a crew of ten to operate, and had space for 100 miners and support personnel. The station also had the capacity to accommodate 1,000 metric tons of supplies and equipment. (SWJ6)

Mining Quarter
This section of Cloud City was inhabited by the multitude of miners who worked at the outpost. The population of the Mining Quarter was predominantly made up of Ugnaughts. (GG2)

Mining Station Alpha
Located near the planet Ithor in the Lesser Plooriod Cluster, Hoole tried to reach this asteroid mining outpost to gather ethromite for the Shroud. Shortly before their arrival, Hodge and his crew had discovered a cave that was dominated by a statue of an Ithorian. The creature depicted was in great fear of something, with its hands outstretched in front and its eyes wide open. He asked Hoole and Fandomar about it, but they couldn't immediately come up with a reason for its existence. It guarded a well-defended tomb, in which the Ithorians had enclosed the entity known as Spore. The tomb was then confiscated by the Dark Jedi Jerec for the Emperor's use, although its contents had been removed before he could get there. Hodge and his men had opened the tomb, hoping to find treasure, but instead were infected by Spore. Jerec left the asteroid after failing to recover Spore, and Fandomar then destroyed the station in an effort to kill Spore. However, Spore got of the asteroid inside Hodge's body. (GOF9)

Minion
This was the codeword used by Marn Hierogryph to describe Zayne Carrick, during the era of the Mandalorian Wars. (KOR7)

Minions of Xendor
Han Solo often used the expression "by the Minions of Xendor" when he was surprised by something. It referred to those beings who supported the ancient Kashi Mer exile and former Jedi Knight, Xendor, during the First Great Schism. See also Xendor's Minions. (TPS, GMR5, SWI88)

Mini-scan
This small, portable scanner was developed to be carried in a pouch. It could provide technical information on a computer or other electronic system. (MC52)

MiniSci Arcology
This was the primary location of the Old Republic's Ministry of Science, found in Coruscant's Galactic City. (HNN5)

Minister of Scout Services
This position within the New Republic was set up to oversee the efforts of the New Republic Scout Service and the services scouts which worked for it. (GG8)

Minister of the Slavers Consortium
According to the Most High Queen of Zygeria, this was a title that she was promised by Count Dooku, early in the Clone Wars, for her role in helping ensure that the Confederacy of Independent Systems gained the upper hand in the war for control of the galaxy. (TCW1)

Ministry Council
This Senatorial council of the New Republic government managed the day-to-day operations of the Republic's various ministries. (SOL)

Ministry of Defense and Offense
This was the name of the primary governmental body charged with the protection of the citizens of Delaluna, during the decades leading up to the Clone Wars. (LOJ)

Ministry of Industry
This was one of the primary branches of the government of the Tion Hegemony, during the early years of the New Order. Like much of the Tion Hegemony during this time, the Ministry of Industry was unable to keep up with the demands of the modern galaxy, especially during the upheaval that followed the Clone Wars and the establishment of the Empire. The Ministry's officers fell woefully behind in their work, which allowed many unscrupulous corporations to take advantage of the situation. The Ministry of Industry began to allow mining permits to be issued, but lacked the manpower to investigate the operations, which allowed these corporations enough time to strip a planet of its natural resources and abandon it before the Ministry could apprehend them. (HSL)

Ministry of InterGalactic Transit
This Imperial body was responsible for monitoring and licensing the interstellar transport of substances and commodities. (SWJ2)

Ministry of Justice
This governmental building held the offices of the Galactic Alliance's primary judicial and legal branches, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Build on Coruscant near the new Jedi Temple, the Ministry of Justice shared a common entryway with the Temple. (LF6)

Ministry of Media
This branch of the Holessian government controlled what was shown on the massive holoscreens that were used to broadcast trials and other legal activities. In addition to legal proceedings, the Ministry of Media allowed advertisements for selected products and services. Anything shown on public screens had to be reviewed by the Board of Decency first, so that nothing was shown that might disrupt the lives of the Holessians. (MF)

Ministry of Technology
This building, located in Caballa City on Exocron, was the headquarters of the Devisors. As such, it was also the planet's capital building. (KO)

Ministry-class Orbital Shuttle
This military shuttle was designed for the navies of the Galactic Republic, during the years following the Great Sith War. (WOTC)

Minka
This female being, a feline humanoid, served the Alliance as a starfighter pilot in the Cantros System during the last days of the Galactic Civil War. She was one of a handful of pilots who survived the Empire's attack on the Cantros System, shortly after the Battle of Endor, and she was the only pilotto make it to Saijo before she was shot down. She was stunned to learn that the Emperor had been defeated at Endor, since Imperial forces in the Cantros System were as strong as ever. Her appearance on saijo alerted the Alliance to the treachery of Durne, who was eventually captured and held for questioning. (MC93)

Minker, Radd
This male Brubb was one of the many Jedi Knights who served the galaxy, during the years that followed the Second Galactic Civil War. Minker was one of the first Jedi to realize that Jysella Horn was experiencing a strange affliction, when she suddenly attacked him in the Jedi Temple. He was forced to draw his lightsaber in order to defend himself, and Jysella was able to force him into a room and lock it. Although he was trapped, Minker was able to use his lightsaber to cut his way out. Later, Radd was one of two Jedi Knights, along with Natua Wan, who escorted Han and Leia Solo and their granddaughter, Allana, to the Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition. The Solos had hoped to get Allana to come out her shell, followed the death of her father, Jacen Solo. Although the outing began well enough, Natua began to experience one of the Force psychoses that was affecting many young Jedi Knights. She tried to reach the control center of the Grand Event Center and open all the creature pens, hoping to either trap or kill all of the "imposters" she saw in the crowd. Jaina Solo joined the others as they tried to capture Natua, and it was Jaina's distraction that allowed Radd to sneak up behind Natua and jump onto her. He kept himself from using the Force, so as not to alert Natua to his presence, then rammed his head into her skull, knocking her unconscious. Although the at proved to be quite effective, Radd was nonetheless embarrassed at having hit Natua so unceremoniously. In the days that followed, it was Radd Minker who suggested to Han and Leia Solo that they take one of the nexy cubs that had been orphaned at the livestock show as a pet for their granddaughter. Radd explained that it was only right for the Solos to take in the cub, as a way of showing justice to nature. (FJ2)

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

Minkring
This planet, located in the Shelsha Sector of the galaxy, was one of just two worlds that maintained an Imperial garrison, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (A)

Minlet Missile
This was a form of tiny concussion missile manufactured during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ4)

Minmirn, Kimp
This Quarren geneticist was hired by Mils Giel to help create a mutant breed of Tirrith that could be used as a biological weapon. Minmirn succeeded in every endeavor, creating a mutant strain of Tirrith that exuded toxic gas, rather than a simple knockout gas. This mutant strain wanted nothing more than to kill any living being it came into contact with, a trait that was bred into them through cruel handling and treatment. Unfortunately, when Giel decided that it was time to unleash his new weapon, he didn't want any loose ends lying around. Rather than risk any problems, Giel murdered Minmirn to ensure his secret was safe. (PH)

Minnau, Nandi
This woman worked as a serving girl and waitress at the Varykino resort in Naboo's Lake Country, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. A native of the city of Parrlay, Nandi grew up with her half-sister, Teckla. They were sent off to Theed to receive an education in high culture, staying in the capital city with their brother, Rehtul, until the Trade Federation launched its invasion of Naboo. They were forced to flee into the swamps, where they remained until the Battle of Naboo. In the wake of the fighting, they were hired by Senator Padme' Amidala to serve at her Lake Coutry retreat at Varykino. (E2N, VD2, OWS, SWDB)

Minnau, Rethul
A native of the planet Naboo, this man was the older brother of Teckla and Nandi Minnau. When the half-sisters traveled to Theed for their education, they stayed with Rehtul at his home. They were forced to abandon their home when the Trade Federation invaded Naboo, but were able to return in the wake of the Battle of Naboo. (SWDB)

Minnau, Teckla
This woman worked as a serving girl and waitress at the Varykino resort in Naboo's Lake Country, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. A native of the city of Parrlay, Teckla grew up with her half-sister, Nandi. They were sent off to Theed to receive an education in high culture, staying in the capital city with their brother, Rehtul, until the Trade Federation launched its invasion of Naboo. They were forced to flee into the swamps, where they remained until the Battle of Naboo. In the wake of the fighting, they were hired by Senator Padme' Amidala to serve at her Lake Coutry retreat at Varykino.

Just before the onset of the Clone War, Teckla assisted with the arrangements when Padme' arrived at the retreat with Anakin Skywalker. Padme' trusted her with the secret rendezvous, and later with the knowledge of her marriage. Teckla later accompanied Senator Amidala to Coruscant, to assist during the Senator's preganacy. In the wake of Padme's untimely death, Teckla returned to Naboo and married a writer. She also took a job working as a handmaiden fro Queen Kylantha, during the height of the New Order. (E2N, VD2, OWS, SWDB)

Minnisiat
This was a form of trade language that was developed by the multitude of races that inhabited the area of the Unknown Regions closest to Csilla. The use of Minnisiat allowed these disparate races to communicate with one another, despite the obvious differences in their native languages. (SQ)

Minnix
This Trandoshan was a noted drug dealer, working from a base on Nar Shaddaa during the early years of the New Order. In addition to selling the more common drugs, Minnix was also known as a dealer of tempest spice, which kept him relatively rich while ensuring that his own addiction to tempest was satisfied. Minnix spent much of his time in Kuzbar's Cantina, waiting for his clients to approach him. He purchased his spice from a number of dealers at the Dark Melody bar. (TF)

Minnoni, Rovim
This man was a native of the planet Naboo, and worked at the Varykino lake retreat during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Minntaa
This planet was under Imperial control for several months before the Alliance was able to break its grasp. The planet was held under the control of Colonel Jeph Shannessi, until Alliance SpecForce agents were able to assassinate him and break the chain of command. (ROE)

Minntooine
This aquatic planet was loyal to the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the height of the Clone Wars. Much of its population was made up of Quarren radicals who were exiled from their homeworld of Mon Calamari. (X3)

Minos Cluster
A collection of planetary systems at the edge of the known galaxy, it was a fairly safe haven for the galaxy's outcasts. There were over 70 planets in the Cluster which could sustain life, although humans have only settled 10 primary worlds. Much of the Cluster's native sentient life remains in the stone age. (GG6)

Minos-Mestra Corporation
Originally formed by VernanGroup, this mining and large-scale manufacturing corporation grew into a galaxy-wide megacorporation during the last century of the Old Republic. Its primary source of raw materials was the Mestra System's asteroid field, to which the corporation holds ownership rights. However, as the Republic began to rot from within, VernanGroup's fortunes began to wane. The Minos Cluster fell into economic depression as Palpatine assumed the Presidency, and VernanGroup was forced to sell its shares to local investors. Since the institution of the New Order, Minos-Mestra had become driven by short-term profits at any cost. Miners were abused in order to obtain more ore, and security was tight. The need for security helped create a new branch of the corporation, providing police, emergency services, and armed forces to the Mestra System. Primary headquarters for the corporation were located on Shesharile 5, while a local office was found on Javis-12. (GG6)

M'ins, Tra's
A Jedi Master of some renown, Tra's M'ins was perhaps best known in resolving the Duinuogwuin-Gotal Conflict, with the help of Jorus C'baoth. (DFR)

Minshal

Minstrel
This was the callsign used by Ulaha Kore, during the Jedi Knights' attempt to kill the voxyn queen at Myrkr, some twenty-seven years after the Battle of Yavin. (SBS)

Minstrel
This statue icon, along with its mistress the Dancing Goddess, was worshipped by the natives of the planet Arcan IV. The Minstrel was a trivial being, however, lacking the Dancing Goddess' power. While Lemo and Sanda searched for it, the Minstrel was in the possession of Lando Calrissian. Calrissian gave it to Dafi, in an effort to escape Arcan IV, and the Minstrel eventually ended up in Lemo's possession. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Han Solo discovered that the Dancing Goddess and the Minstrel were two necessary components in the massive machinery that kept the Godoan race vital. They set out to recover the statue, in hopes of reviving the Godoan civilization. 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. Han then took the statue back to Godo. (LTA4, SWI67, MC79)

Minstrel-class Space Yacht
Designed and built by Ubrikkian Industries, this pleasure craft was a favorite of the Hutts. It measured 160 meters in length, and required a crew of 35 and a pairof gunners in its basic form. The Minstrel-class could carry up to 90 metric tons of cargo and was armed with a tractor beam projector and a pair of triple blasters. (IA)

Minstyngar
This unusual creature was native to the jungles of Kashyyyk. It had a slightly humanoid body, although the nape of the neck was higher than the crown of the skull, giving the minstyngar a hunch-backed appearance. The tiny eyes of the minstyngar were located just beneath thick, stubby horns that protected them, and the mouth of the minstyngar was filled with short tusks. The term minstyngar could be used as both singular and plural, depending on the context. (SWGAL, TFUN)

Mintempas
This was the Snivvian word for "experience." (HNN5)

Mintinee
This Dathomiri witch served as the Clan Mother of the Great Canyon Clan, during the height of the New Order. At the age of ninety-nine, she was among the oldest of the witches on the planet, and had grown suspicious of her male slaves. Although she was respected by her peers and revered by her clan, Mintinee was also somewhat paranoid, and vowed to execute anyone she found to be plotting against her. Note that Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds Also indicates that Mintinee was the Clan Mother of the Misty Falls Clan. (GORW)

Mintori, Demelza
This former Imperial Army officer was a rival of Madix Hansor during their service. When Mintori was unable (or refused) to help rescue Hansor's team during a seige in the Dalcretti System, Hansor vowed to exact revenge on Mintori. The pair fought s series of battles on the Core Gladiator Walker League professional circuit, with each team doing so much damage to the other that most matches were declared draws because neither team could continue fighting. Mintori and his team, Demelza's Destructors, were based in Sedratis City. (GFT)

This Twi'lek female was a regular at the Outlander Club, during the last decades of the Old Republic. She was distinguished by her mottled, purple skin, which was considered quite rare among her race. (OWS, SWI75, CHRN2)

Mio, Marmio
This woman lived as a hermit on the remote world of Geonosis, during the early years of the New Order. She claimed to have been stranded on Geonosis after her starship crashed in the E'Y-Akh Desert, and her manic appearance seemed to support this story. In reality, she was an accomplished spy who secretly worked for several competing tribes of Geonosians, each of which believed she worked exclusively for them. Hidden in the hulk of her starship were a speederbike and several probe droids, which she used to gather all sorts of information about the events on the planet. (GORW)

Mioe
This petite woman was one of the clerks working at the Starwind Chandlery during the Galactic Civil War. (FOP)

Mip
This small, parasitic insect was native to the planet Geonosis, where it lived in a symbiotic relationship with the enormous merdeth. Swarms of mips could be found living on or near merdeths, feeding on the ichor found in the merdeth's body. However, the mips also provided benefit to the merdeth by locating food and attacking any creature that tried to kill the merdeth. (GORW)

Mipps, Deena
This woman worked as a reporter for the Darpa SectorNet news agency, during the height of the New Order. Unknown to even her employers, Deena was also the local spy for the Alliance, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ3, SWJ8, CCW, OWS)

Mipsy, Alandra
This woman was a reporter for the Colonial News Nets, who covered the political and social scene on the planet Procopia during the New Order.

Mir
This Mandalorian word meant "brain" when translated into Basic. (RC66)

Mira
This woman was a bounty hunter and scout who was active during the years following the Great Sith War, nearly 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor. She was unusual for her kind in that she never killed another being to collect a bounty, and only used lethal force in self-defense. Even then, she killed reluctantly, and this collection of attributed allowed her to remain clear of organizations such as the Exchange. As a young girl, Mira was orphaned during the Mandalorian Wars when her parents were killed during the Battle of Malachor. She was enslaved by the surviving Mandalorians and ended up on Nar Shaddaa, where she as forced to survive on her own. With her knack for finding people, Mira quickly became a bounty hunter. She was known to hunt with a specialized wrist launcher, that could fire small darts or ion rockets. During one fateful mission, she managed to save the life of Hanharr, forcing him to acknowledge a life-debt to her. Hanharr never forgot this, and spent many years trying to track her down and have her killed, so that the debt would no longer be hanging over his head. After the Jedi Civil War, Mira was among the bounty hunters who traveled to Nar Shaddaa to work for Goto, hunting down the surviving Jedi Knights and bringing them to Nar Shaddaa. On Nar Shaddaa, she joined the party of beings who traveled with The Exile. When they tried to locate Visquis in the Jekk'Jekk Tarr bar, Mira was forced to confront Hanharr in one-on-one combat. Using all her skills, Mira was able to defeat the huge Wookiee, although she regretted having to take his life. She voiced these regrets to The Exile, who recognized that she had a connection to the Force, and agreed to take her on as a student. (OWS, KOTOR2)

Mira
This barren ball of rock was the sixth world in the Kamino System. (GORW)

Mira
This female humanoid was one of the many Jedi Knights who felt that the Jedi Order was becoming too militaristic during the early years of the Clone Wars. She was originally trained by Master Sora Bulq, and remained loyal to the Weequay during the escalation of conflicts. After openly refusing to accept the rank of General, she left the Order to follow Sora Bulq to Ruul in protest of the Jedi's participation in the war. A tall, pale-skinned woman, Mira was distinguished by the patterns of spots which surrounded her eyes. When Master Bulq was attacked by Asajj Ventress, it was Mira who felt the disturbance in the Force and came to help him. Unfortunately, Mira was no match for Ventress' skills with a lightsaber, and was quickly killed in battle. Ventress claimed that she had been sent to Ruul by Mace Windu himself, in an effort to drive Master Bulq farther from the Jedi. (OWS, J1)

Mirabel
This city was once the capital of the idyllic planet, Malano III. When the Empire took control of the planet, the native humans tried to rebel, but the Empire quickly subjugated them. In order to ensure there was no further rebellion, Imperial forces used thermal detonators to bombard Mirabel, leveling the buildings and creating a firestorm that killed nearly all of the thousands of beings who lived in the city. Those that survived were left homeless, and much of the planet's population was enslaved as laborers. (RF1)

Miradyne Limited
This small manufacturer of starship avionics packages went out of business during the height of the New Order. (XW, EGW, SWJ5)

Mirage

Miraj became famous among the racers who plied the Raptor Run on Stend VI, where she hung behind other racers until the very end of the race, before goosing her racer, the Wraith, into a higher gear and passing them at the finish line. (WSV)

Miral
see Mirial (BF6)

Miraluka
A race native to the planet Alpheridies, they were born without eyes. However, through the use of the Force, they can see as well as any sighted race. Outwardly, the average Miraluka individual appeared to be a normal Human, with a decorative veil covering their face. They original Miraluka migrated to Alpherides several millennia before the Great Sith War, fleeing a planet which was geologically and tectonically unstable. Their innate abilities with the Force were brought to the forefront as genetic mutations brought on by Abron's infrared radiation eliminated their eyes. Very few Miraluka ever left the Alpherides, choosing not to disrupt their equilibrium. When Emperor Palpatine instituted his Jedi Purge, many Miraluka were killed or forced into hiding, and they remained aloof from the rest of the galaxy for many decades afterward. Note that the LucasArts website for Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords indicates that the Miraluka died out some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (FNU, TOJC, PJSB, UANT, LAWS)

Miralukese
This was the native language of the Miraluka. (PJSB)

Miramba
This large, blue-skinned humanoid replica droid was used by Gru'um Ropple to transport frekkers into Jabba the Hutt's palace on Tatooine. Miramba was covered with an organic layer, which allowed her to pass through Jabba's sensors. She was programmed to appeal to the Hutt, laughing at his jokes and lavishing him with praise. After Bib Fortuna had Gru'um arrested, Gru'um had Miramba open her internal section and release the frekkers into the palace. It was unknown if she survived the Hutt's fury after realizing what Gru'um Ropple had planned. (JTH)

Mirax
This Red Nikto was one of the multitude of slaves who were forced to work at the Gwori shipyards, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Mirax was chosen by Overseer Juhm to serve as the foreman of the slave laborers, a position that granted him some benefits while allowing him to defend his fellow slaves from being abused by the droid security forces at the shipyards. During one shift change, Mirax and the other slaves were surprised to see a group of Jedi Knights and clone troopers arrive at the shipyards, and were even more surprised when these Jedi used their lightsaber to remove their slave collars. The Jedi, including Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, were then surprised when Mirax refused to rebel against his Separatist masters, preferring the relative safety of their slavery to the chaos of freedom. Like the rest of the slaves, Mirax was a ship builder by trade, and knew nothing of fighting. Thus, when Overseer Juhm demanded to know where the Jedi were, Mirax turned them in so that he could protect his people. However, when Juhm later revealed that the only reason he was using organic beings as laborers was to use them as a living shield in case of a Republic attack, Mirax began to have his doubts. When the Jedi escaped from captivity and once again offered the slaves a chance to escape, Mirax put the question to his fellow slaves. The entire group of slaves decided to fight back, and joined the Jedi in stealing a frigate and making their escape. The Jedi took Mirax and the others back to Coruscant, where the slaves were given new jobs and a chance to rebuild their lives. (CWSOD)

Mireya
This woman was a noble by birth, who was chosen to marry High Lord Tritum XI of House Mecetti, more than 4,000 years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. Tritum had believed that the noble houses of the Tapani Sector were becoming stagnant, and chose Viscountess Mireya to help infuse new blood into his family line. Tritum got more than he bargained for, however, after it was learned that Mireya was also a practitioner of the Sith arts. It was unknown if she was sensitive to the Force, but Viscountess Mireya was known to have integrated Sith rituals and ceremonies into the Mecrosa Order, turning the group of assassins and poisoners into a group of Sith-trained killers who were more than a match for the "pet Jedi" of the other noble houses. Viscountess Mireya's exact fate was lost over time, but the Mecrosa Order was all but eliminated by the Jedi Knights and House Pelagia following the Great Sith War. (OWS)

Mirgoshir Campaign
This was one of the many protacted battles of the Clone Wars, as the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic tried to eliminate the Separatist presence in the Mirgoshir System and its surrounding neighbor systems. (SWDB)

Mirialan
This species of near-humans was native to the planet Mirial. The Mirialan people were very religious, and adhered to a primitive understanding of the Force as their underlying beliefs. They believed that each individual's actions contributed to their destiny, and an individual placed a unique tattoo on their face and hands to signify the completion of certain tests and tasks. As an individual matured, the number of tattoos increased, allowing other Mirialans to quickly what role an individual will play in the future of Mirial. The skull of the average Mirialan was crowned by sensitive, extrasensory organs that gave the Mirialan a sixth sense. Because these organs were sensitive to changes in humidity, most Mirialans wore special headdresses to protect them. Note that Star Wars: Coruscant Nights III - Patterns of Force refers to this race as Mirelian. (SWDB, PJSB, CVD, CN3)

Mirialan
This was the native language of the Mirialan people. (PJSB)

Mir'Liss
This female Tarasin was the irstat-kes of the Jaraana irstat, during the final decades of the Old Republic. When the Jaraana lands were set afire after a series of explosions ripped through the tribal lands, Mir'Liss believed that the fires had been caused by the human Jedi Knight who had recently visited Mother Morad'Ka. It was Mir'Liss who enlisted the help of the freelance adventurers who were working for CreedCon Construction to help save the other villagers (FOC1)

Mirrfield
Developed as a by-product of mirrsteel, mirrfield was used to create inexpensive walls. The opacity of a mirrfield wall could be adjusted to allow for privacy, as needed. During the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War, mirrfields were developed that allowed vision in only one direction, so that one-way panels of mirrfield could be used in areas where added privacy was required. (TG, FJ3)

Mirt
This Bothan claimed to have been a native of the planet Thaere Privo, when he was among the many prominent individuals who were invited to debate the problems associated with floating cities during the height of the Clone Wars. He lacked any form of tact or friendliness, and often used derogatory names to describe other races and beliefs. He got into a shouting match with Kaguya after he called her a bark-loving freak, and his continued ranting eventually earned him the ire of the people of Cularin. However, Mirt was later forced to agree with Kaguya's idea of dismantling the floating cities and encouraging the development of multi-story buildings in the ground-based locations. (LFCW)

Bebo managed to set the ship down with moderate damage, but his distress call was intercepted by the Empire. In order to cover up the true nature of D'vouran, the Empire blamed the crash on Bebo. Much of the crew was reported as dead, when in reality they were consumed by the planet. (GOF1)

Miscellaneous Entertainment and Services
This was one of the many civilian agencies that were part of the Imperial military. Personnel who worked for this agency handled, among other tasks, the management of restaurants and cantinas on military bases. The people who worked for the agency were required to sign an Imperial Work Contract, but this agreement gave them much more freedom than other military personnel. (DSTR)

Mischievous One, The
see Courtra'paeas (GMR1)

Miser
The first planet in the Bespin system, Miser was a hot world rich in various metals and ores. It was mined by the Ugnaughts when Cloud City was a free outpost, but the mines have been abandoned since the Empire took control of the city. It was also used as the site of an Imperial Naval base, with the majority of the base hidden below the inhospitable surface in caves. The planet's high content of metal makes wireless communication nearly impossible, requiring fiber-optic connections. (GG2, HTTE, IC)

Mish, Borvil
This man served as a Lieutenant in the Imperial armed forces, and was a customs inspector at Byblos Tower 214 during the height of the Galactic Civil War.

Mishra, The
This tapcafe was located in the city of Ilic, on the planet New Cov, during the early years of the New Republic. It was here that Luke Skywalker intervened in a dispute between a Barabel and a Rodian, and made something of a fool of Niles Ferrier. Ferrier later called Lando Calrissian and Han Solo to the Mishra, using Luke's name, to discuss a possible contact for locating the Katana Fleet. (DFR)

Mishtak
An alien race. (SOP)

Mishuk gotal'u meshuroke, pako kyore
This Mandalorian proverb translated into Basic as "Pressure makes gems, ease makes decay." (LF5)

Misik
This Imperial Corporal was the son of a diplomat from the planet Tatooine. He joined the Imperial Academy and was known for his crack shot and skill with a speeder bike. After graduation, he was assigned to a scouttrooper squadron, and was eventually posted to the teams protecting the shield generator on the forest moon of Endor, during the construction of the second Death Star. He was adept at developing new speeder bike tactics, often working with Sergeant Barich, and hoped to one day join the Emperor's Demonstration team. (CCG10)

Miskara
This was the term used to describe the leader of the Vagaari fleet, although the Miskara also was considered the leader of the entire Vagaari population. The Miskara demanded complete loyalty from his officers and personnel, and visitors or supplicants were not allowed to speak in the Miskara's presense unless spoken to first. When they spoke, such underlings were required to address the Miskara as "Your Eminence." Like the rest of his people, the Miskara was a ruthless individual who cared nothing for the races he enslaved. Some five years after the Battle of Naboo, the Miskara was surprised to find a human, Jorj Car'das, asking for an audience with the Vagaari. The Miskara was inwardly excited when several battle droids and droidekas were discovered among the cargo of Car'das' shuttle, and he was even more pleased when Car'das showed him how the droids could be programmed to respond to the Miskara's vocal commands. Unknown to the Miskara and his Vagaari, however, was the fact that Car'das' visit was part of a larger plot by then Force Commander Thrawn to lure the Vagaari into a trap. The Miskara reacted almost immediately to the possibility that the Chiss were going to start using battle droids in their fight against the Vagaari, and set in motion a plan to attack the Chiss first. This brought the Vagaari fleet directly into the Chiss trap, which was also set up to capture Outbound Flight. The Miskara was also unware that the battle droids found aboard Car'das' shuttle had received secondary programming from Thrawn, and were activated as soon as the Vagaari tried to attack the Chiss. In a brief span of minutes, the Miskara and his entire bridge crew had been cut down and killed, leaving the Vagaari leaderless and unable to coordinate their activities. (OF)

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

Miskin, El'Tar
This young man worked as the conceirge at the Greentree Pointe resort on Almas during the period leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Prior to this, El'Tar was a shipping clerk for Naescorcom, but was fired for negligence when he mistakenly sent a shipment of thermal detonators to an orphanage on Coruscant while sending a local of textiles to a pirate gang. Only his affable nature kept him from getting killed, and he eventually found his way to Dorumaa. (LFC)

Misnor
This moon was the homeworld of the Chiilak species. (COG)

Miss Vix
This was the name used by Whirry Malreaux to describe the Vjun fox that she kept as a pet and familiar, during the height of the Clone Wars. When Count Dooku took control of Chateau Malreaux, he allowed Whirry to remain in the home, but was uncomfortable with the presence of Miss Vix. Thus, when Dooku learned that his former Master Yoda was on Vjun, he needed Whirry to do his bidding. He grabbed Miss Vix and began pulling out tufts of her fur, forcing Whirry to agree to his terms in order to free the fox from further torture. In exchange for Miss Vix's freedom, Whirry was forced to order Fidelis to arrange for Whie to meet with Asajj Ventress, thereby holding the Padawan hostage while Dooku met with Yoda. After Dooku fled Vjun and Whirry returned to the Chateau, Miss Vix chose to run away, and was not seen again. (YDR)

Missa
This young woman was taken prisoner when the Free Lance ambushed her own ship, the Indupar Nova, near Ec Pand. It was revealed that she was a maid who served Lady Kalena, although the two had switched positions when the pirates attacked. Urias Xhaxin took both women prisoner, for later use in ransoming them off. (PP)

Missa, Lena
This young Chagrian female was a student at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. A gifted talent with a strong connection to the Force, Lena Missa was quickly chosen as a Padawan. However, her Master was killed during the Battle of Geonosis, and Lena was without a teacher for many months. Her wait was not overly long, because many Masters wanted to take the gifted student as their apprentice. When the Apprentice Tournament was held at the Jedi Temple, Lena was one of the three combantants to survive the final-round melee combat. She found herself, along with Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy and Whie Malreaux, caught up in a fight to the finish. As Scout regretted taking Enver Hoxha's lightsaber, Lena was attacked by Whie. Their intense lightsaber battle ended when Whie managed to get inside her defenses and pin her arm behind her back. Grabbing her hand, Whie placed Lena's thumb into an odd and painful position, forcing her to yield. (YDR)

Missarassa
This frozen ball of ice was the fifth and outermost planet of the Adega System. It was orbited by seven moons. (GORW)

Missile Attack Launcher
Known as a MAL, this mobile weapons platform was developed during the height of the New Order. Each MAL moved about on a set of repulsorlift engines, which allowed the platform to move about on the battlefield. Three missile launchers were situated on the top of the platform, and could be rotated into position after each firing. These launchers could fire specialized concussion missiles at a variety of targets, from stationary positions or while the main platform was in motion. In a stationary position, the MAL was an effective anti-air and ranged bombardment weapon. While in motion, it could be used to attack enemy vehicles with devastating precision. (LAWS)

Missile Boat
Designed by then-Admiral Thrawn during the Galactic Civil War, the missile boat was a modified Cygnus Spaceworks assault gunboat. 15 meters in length, the missile boat was given a SLAM overdrive for quick bursts of power, a single laser cannon, 4 missile launchers, and up to 80 concussion missiles. The ship could achieve sublight speeds of 125 MGLT, and was protected by 120 SBD shields and a 20-RU hull. Many Imperial pilots denounced the new ship, saying that it was not very maneuverable in a dogfight, although it was deadly from long-range. (TIE)

Missile Deactivation Transmitter
This form of countermeasure technology was developed by the Galactic Alliance military, during the years following the Swarm War. These specialized transmitters were capable of detecting the frequencies that were used to guide enemy missiles and warheads, allowing the device to send a deactivation signal to the missile before it struck a Galactic Alliance warship. This technology was a closely-guarded secret, and it was feared that military advisors from The Confederation might have stolen the technology, during the conflict that grew from the Corellia-GA War. (LF6)

Missile Frigate
This starship design was produced by the Trade Federation as a mobile projectile weapons platform. (JSF)

Missile Platform
This was a generic term used to describe any mobile, projectile-launching platform used in combat. (RDV)

Missile Tube
Any land-based weapon which carries and fires short- and long-range proton or concussion missiles. (HSR)

Mission Commander
This was the title given to the ruling member of the Survivor group on Dellalt. The primary duty of the Mission Commander was to maintain the beacon that sent word of their existence to the High Command, in the hopes that one day the High Command would hear it and return to Dellalt to open the vaults of Xim the despot. Over time, the Survivors began to wonder if the beacon was reaching far enough into space, and the Mission Commander began making blood sacrifices to help augment the beacon's strength. (HSL)

Mission Detail
This was the term used by commanders of the Imperial Navy to describe any task force or fleet that was composed of non-standard units, and went against the naval order of battle. Any mission detail was, by definition, temporary, and was built in three steps. The first step involved describing the mission to be executed, while the second step involved defining the detail that would best accomplish the mission. The third and final step involved the retention of enough firepower to ensure the completion of other missions that the commander was already obligated to complete. As popular military doctrine went, the first step of any mission detail led to more work, the second step to a promotion, and the third step to a court-martial. Thus, the proper alignment of forces to the mission detail as well as pre-existing missions was considered more of a gut-instinct then something that could be taught, ans separated the true leaders from the pretenders. (ISB)

Mission, The
This was the term used by the new Jedi order to describe the events surrounding the mission to destroy the Yuuzhan Vong voxyn production facility at Myrkr, more than twenty-five years after the Battle of Yavin. The Jedi who undertook the mission were still training under Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, and included Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin Solo, along with Tesar Sebatyne, Lowbacca, Zekk, Tahiri Veila, and Raynar Thul. Although the mission ultimately succeeded in destroying the voxyn queen, the Jedi paid a heavy price for it. Anakin Solo sacrificed his own life to save his brother, and many other Jedi were killed in battle. Raynar Thul was believed to have died when the Dark Jedi Welk and Lomi Plo stole the Tachyon Flier and tried to escape, only to have the ship nearly destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong. The survivors of the Mission were also changed by it, since they had chosen to use the battle-meld technique to help themselves survive. The prolonged connection of the meld altered their brains and limbic systems, creating an unusual sort of telepathy between them. It was this link that allowed Raynar to call on his friends for help, after the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong, when the Colony began to encroach on the borders of Chiss space. (DN1)

Missira
This elderly Tarasin female was one of the first of her race to attend the Almas Academy. She was chosen by her irstat to attend the Academy as a representative of her species, after a great deal of debate over whether or not a Tarasin would be able to live outside its tribe. Missira succeeded at her training, and eventually became a Jedi Knight. She also became the Mother of the small population of Tarasin which were attending the Academy during the last decades of the Old Republic. Missira was also in charge of the kitchens at the Academy. (LFC)

Missur, Mas
This Jedi served as a General in the Grand Army of the Republic. During the height of the Clone Wars, General Missur led the assault on the city of Eyat, on the planet Gaftikar, commanding the elements of the 35th Infantry. (RCTC)

Mist
This bounty hunter was known as a violent, capable individual, although he very rarely appeared in public. Mist began working in Kathol Sector shortly before the Battle of Endor, but was driven underground by the appearance of Moff Sarne. When Sarne fled the New Republic's warships, Mist began showing up again, although his operations were somewhat questionable. Mist was best known for the heavily-modified suit of Krail 1010 photo-reactive armor he wore. He was hoping to find Sarne and capture him, with the intent of extorting what he felt was just compensation for having been left hanging when Sarne fled. Shortly afterward, Mist encountered an alien construct deep within the Kathol Rift, and soon discovered a piece of the DarkStryder technology. He learned how to control a DarkStryder fire creature, and attempted to defeat the crew of the FarStar with this newfound power. He was defeated aboard the alien construct, and forced to flee before the firepower of the FarStar. During the Battle of Kathol, Mist was discovered to be the actress, Shella Inion, who had believed that the Alliance was responsible for the deaths of her family. When Jessa Dajus revealed that it was Moff Sarne himself who had killed her family, Mist switched allegiances and joined the New Republic in defeating Sarne. (KO, KR, E)

Mist
This was one of the many Imperial escort carriers during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Mist Canister
This was a form of smoke bomb that could be used to flood an area with a dense fog or mist. This mist could be created from simple water that was flash-boiled by the explosion, or it could contain soporific chemicals to place any being in its blast radius into a deep sleep. (A)

Mist Creature
see Vapor (MIS8)

Mist Hunter
This was the name of Zuckuss' personal starship. It was specially commissioned by Zuckuss and a group of Gand venture capitalists, with a Byblos Drive Yards G-1A transport ship as the base. It made extensive use of combat cloud car repulsorlift technology. It had room for eight passengers and a metric ton of cargo, and was armed with a pair of assault lasers and a tractor beam projector. (TBH, CCG4, GMR7)

Mist Laden
This Koensayr Sigma-class shuttle was owned and operated by the Gand findsman Lu'daal-ud. It had been extensively modified since it was retired form regular duty, and was armed with a single turret-mounter laser cannon as well as a turret-mounted heavy turbolaser cannon. Lu'daal-ud obtained the ship after capturing its owner in the Imberlin System. (AIR)

Mist Patrol
This was the small Hapan naval force that patrolled the boundaries of the Transitory Mists, looking for intruders during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong War. In the wake of the Battle of Kuat and the Second Battle of Fondor, the Mist Patrol agreed to help keep the Jedi base on Shedu Maad a secret, and passed on any information about unknown starships that were discovered near the planet. (LF9)

Mistal
This woman was a member of royalty on the planet Dargul, holding the title of Duchess during the early years of the New Republic. When she came of marrying age, she began a widespread search for the perfect mate. All candidates had their credentials entered into a computer, and she decided to marry the individual chosen by the computer. Dack sabotaged the results of all the candidates in order to make himself into the "perfect mate," in order to marry into Duchess Mistal's wealth. Unfortunately for Dack, Mistal was a very affectionate person, and she couldn't bear to be away from him. She didn't give him any free time, leaving Dack to flee to Umgul in an effort to escape her. Mistal offered a million-credit reward for Dack's return, which Lando Calrissian was able to obtain when he apprehended Dack - living under the alias of Tymmo - at a blob race on the planet Umgul. Mistal was grateful to Lando from that point on, and the credits from her reward helped finance his takeover of the Spice Mines of Kessel. (JS)

Mister Threep
The name given by Anakin Solo to C-3PO. (CS)

Mistflier, Dusque
The youngest member of a large family based on the planet Talus, this woman worked for the Empire as a biologist during the height of the New Order. When her father died in the factory he was working in, her four brothers tried to keep the family together. Her mother seemed to have died inside, although she kept on living. When her youngest brother enlisted in the Imperial armed forced but died during a training exercise, Dusque's mother began to rail against the Empire, claiming that it had killed her family. She then returned to the shell she had become, leaving Dusque and her surviving brothers to fend for themselves. Despite graduating with high marks and continually scoring higher than her superiors, Dusque always managed to miss out on promotions or better jobs. She knew that this was due to her sex, and so she dressed and acted as unfeminine as possible. However, this didn't deter her from doing the best job possible. Her love of her work was enhanced by the presence of her partner, Tendau Nandon. During a routine mission to a galaxy-wide conference on Naboo, Dusque met Finn Darktrin, who began to question her allegiance to the Empire. While Dusque didn’t openly say it, she had begun to wonder why the Empire treated non-humans so unfairly. Her dedication to the Empire was shattered when Tendau was arrested and executed on the suspicion of being an Alliance sympathizer. She agreed to accompany Finn and set out to join the Alliance. The two were paired on a dangerous mission to Dantooine, where the abandoned Alliance base still stood. Despite having been razed during the Imperial investigation just before the Battle of Yavin, Princess Leia Organa still believed that a holocron containing the names and locations of hundreds of Alliance agents was still on Dantooine. Dusque and Finn set out from Corellia to find it, racing the Empire's agents and the planet's ecosystem to find it. Dusque discovered it hidden in the ashen remains of a campfire, inexplicably located hundreds of feet belowground, at the site of an ancient Jedi training compound. Her elation at finding the holocron was matched by her growing affection for Finn, although he seemed alternately aloof and eager to return the feeling. It was on their return to the Alliance headquarters that Dusque discovered that Finn himself was an Imperial agent. He managed to send off a small portion of the holocron's contents before Dusque grabbed the object and ejected it into space. Finn had no desire to return to the Alliance, and didn't need Dusque blowing his cover, so he stabbed her in the chest with a knife. As their ship was about to be boarded, Finn blasted away in an escape pod. Dusque found herself being rescued by Luke Skywalker, but had to explain what happened to Finn. However, she believed him dead when no Imperial forces attacked their base on Corellia. (ROD)

Mistfly
This small, flying insect was native to the swamps of Neimoidia. (DSTR)

Mist-horn
This spiralled horn could be hollowed out for use as a musical instrument. The Jedi Master Tionne also used a mist-horn as the handle for her lightsaber. (VF)

Misti
This brewed beverage was served on many farmers' tables on the planet Dagro, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SWI77)

Mistmaker
This strange creature was native to the planet Msst. The mistmaker was a large, pink, gelatinous cloud which floast through the jungles, cathing unsuspecting prey in the tentacles which hang from its body. The tentacles were lined with stinging poisons which incapacitate the mistmaker's prey. Once the prey had been immobilized, the mistmaker uses its tentacles to draw the prey into its toothy maw. If destroyed, a mistmaker will explode, showering its attacker with caustic pieces of gelatin that bore into exposed flesh. (TNR)

Mist-pudding
This light but flavorful dessert was created on the planet Barnaba, for the enjoyment of the nobles in House Barnaba. (LOE)

This Imperial Lieutenant served as the commander of stormtrooper squadron assigned to the shuttle Resurgence during the Galactic Civil War. (SWCP)

Mistress Crimson
This was an alias used by Celia Durasha, when she took up smuggling after her escape from the Kuari Princess. (SWJ5)

Mistress Dragon
The name given by Jacen Solo to the huge, lizard-like creature Hethrir had captured and uses as a guardian for the Empire Youth camp. The beast could very well be a Duinuogwuin. Jacen's growing ability to converse with animals was further heightened when he encounters the dragon, and he convinces Mistress Dragon to help the children escape from the compound. (CS)

Mistress Mnemos
This huge computer system was rumored to have been maintained by the Alliance as an intergalactic database. C-3PO was able to interface with Mnemos to gather information on Blackhole, during the Galactic Civil War. Located on Fusai, one of the most secret safeworlds the Alliance maintained, Mnemos had a feminine personality and was given a good deal of programming on etiquette and protocol. She required that any being making inquiries of her memory bank follow set procedures, and omit any irrelevant or unnecessary details. While the knowledge contained within Mnemos's memory banks was generally believed to be extensive, it was only as good as the data that it was given. Much of the information on Luke Skywalker's family history, for example, was misleading or simply wrong. (CSWEA, LAT1, GMR4, OWS, NEGD)

Mistress of the Hall
This term was used to describe the female lead of an opera company. (SWJ5, OWS)

Mistryl Shadow Guards
This mysterious sisterhood formed the basic unit of society on the planet Emberlene. The Mistryl Shadow Guards were personally commissioned by the Eleven Elders of the People to protect and defend not only Emberlene but other down-trodded peoples as well. Any pay the Mistryls acquired was returned to Emberlene, in order for the native population to purchase the necessities of life. During the height of the Clone Wars, the government of Emberlene allied itself with the Separatists, which allowed them to obtain the military resources to expand their sphere of control. The Mistryl grew larger and more powerful with every subjugation, until the Clone Wars suddenly came to an end. Without Separatist backing, the Mistryl Shadow Guards were unable to continue their subjugation of the neighbors, and could no longer defend the worlds they had conquered. The planets that had been subjugated by the Mistryl joined together, combining their meager resources to form a huge army of soliders and mercenaries that staged a massive rebellion against Emberlene and the Mistryl. The rebellion was exceptionally devastating, as it nearly wiped out all life on Emberlene. The few natives who survived chose to rewrite history, blaming the Empire for the destruction of their homeworld. This new history also provided a new reason for the existence of the Mistryl, claiming that the Mistryl had been created to exact torturous and devastating acts of revenge against the Empire. Despite this, many independent Mistryl sometimes worked for the Empire in order to obtain funds, although they never aligned themselves with Palpatine's forces. At their heart, the Mistryl Shadow Guards worked at every opportunity to exact some form of revenge on the Empire for its part in Emberlene's destruction, although most never knew that the Empire had nothing to do with the devastation of the planet. (SWJ9, HG)

Mistryl Warriors
These well-muscled, female warriors from the planet Emberlene formed the ranks of the Mistryl Shadow Guard. (COTF, TME, SOP, VOF, HG)

Mists of Forgetfulness
According to the Mind Walkers, the Mists of Forgetfulness were on the far borders of the world that had been created by Abeloth, a powerful Force presence that existed in the Maw cluster of black holes. The Mists of Forgetfulness lay beyond the Lake of Apparitions, although the path to reach them was difficult to navigate. Only the strongest Force users could break through the illusion that the Mists never got any closer, no matter how long one walked toward them. (FJ3)

Mistwater
This was the name used to describe the ultra-pure water condensed from the clouds of the planet Barnaba. It was bottled and sold throughout Tapani Sector, and commanded a high price during the height of the New Order. (LOE)

Misty Falls
This waterfall was located along one of the tributaries of the Frenzied River, on the planet Dathomir. (SWG2P)

Misty Falls Clan
This clan of Force-sensitive witches was native to the planet Dathomir. Like nearly all clans of Dathomiri witches, the Misty Falls Clan worked from the Light Side of the Force. Their home was located on the banks of a tributary to the Frenzied River, near the Misty Falls. (SA, GORW, SWG2P)

Misura
This fast-growing vine was known for its ability to grow to incredible lengths, even in the most arid of environments. When it died, the drying fibers of the misura vine curled into loose balls, forming large spheres that were quite brittle. These misura balls were often seen rolling across desert expanses, broken from their roots and blown about by dry winds. (LF2)

Mit, N'haz
Boba Fett tracked this being to the planet Necropolis, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, where he was forced to kill Mit. A week later, Fett learned that Mit still lived, and returned to Necropolis to kill him again. (GOF2)

Mitar
This one-eyed man served as the King of the planet Daimar, during the years leading up to the formation of the Galactic Empire. As a member of the Lamont Dynasty and the Royal House of Daimar, King Mitar had been loyal to the idealogy of the Old Republic, and refused to allow his planet to be overrun by Imperial forces. His resistance earned Daimar the attention of the Empire, and the planet was bombarded from orbit in order to force King Mitar to submit to Imperial rule. King Mitar continued his defiance, but he knew that the Empire was too strong to defy for a prolonged period of time. Thus, he made plans to have a group of freelance operatives to smuggle Senator Alet Komain off Daimar, and to ensure the safety of his son, Prince Torrin. Torrin was a charismatic young man who had already founded a rebel cell on the nearby planet of Byrsym, and Senator Komain knew a great mant military sercets that needed to reach other planets that were defying the Empire. (FR)

Mitchay mitchu
This Ewokese phrase translated roughly into Basic as "very clever." (E6, GPB)

Mith
This name was given to female Zabrak, and meant "good gardener" - or, more literally, "grain-wife". (GCG)

Mithail
This boy was the youngest of three children Yander had with his first wife, on the planet Ord Cestus. The children grew up for many years without a mother, until Yander married Sheeka Tull. After Yander's death, the children continued living with Sheeka, although they stayed with aunts and uncles whenever Sheeka had to work. Mithail was distinguished from his siblings by his unruly mop of red hair. (TCD)

Mithel, Rejlii
Mauler Mithel's son, Rejlii was an Imperial Ensign who served as a tractor beam operator aboard the Chimaera some five years after the Battle of Endor. Mithel was promoted to Lieutenant by Grand Admiral Thrawn for his efforts in trying to break Luke Skywalker's covert shroud maneuver, then assigned the task of developing a way to counteract the maneuver in the future. (TLC, CCG, TTSB)

Mithipsin
One of Belsavis' natural volcanic rift valleys. (COJ)

Mithran
This young man was a racer who handled tranthebar mountain rippers during the height of the New Order. (GFT)

Mithric, Thann
This male Falleen was one of the many Jedi Knights who were trained by Luke Skywalker and his new Jedi Order, in the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. When Thrackan Sal-Solo threatened to secede the Corellian System from the Galactic Alliance, Mithric joined Jaina Solo and Zekk as part of Team Purella, on a mission to infiltrate the city of Coronet and capture Five World Prime Minister, Aidel Saxan. However, Saxan was made aware of their mission during a conversation with Han Solo, and a droid double was used in her place. When Zekk discovered the ruse, the droid self-destructed, nearly killing Zekk and badly injuring Kolir Hu'lya. As the war ground on, the Jedi Order eventually cut its ties to the Galactic Alliance. Thann Mithric was chosen to be part of a team that was to infiltrate Coruscant and capture or eliminate Jacen Solo. Although mission leader Kyle Katarn was badly injured, the rest of the Jedi managed to hold Jacen at bay. In the fighting, Seha Dorvald was able to plant a tracer on Solo's cape, and then get their escape shuttle ready. However, before they could escape, Solo attacked Mithric. Mithric was not prepared for the attack, and one defensive parry managed to injure his chest. In the brief second it took for him to register the injury, Mithric saw Solo swing lightsaber in a powerful arc, severing Mithric's head from his body. (LF1, LF7)

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

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

Mitsun, Creed
This man worked at the Fondor shipyards and a crew foreman. He and his team of various races was working on refitting the Star Destroyer Amerce when Fondor was attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong.

This was the pronunciation of the full name of Field Commander Thrawn, used by Vicelord Siv Kav of the Trade Federation during the hunt for Outbound Flight. (OF)

Mitth'raw'nuruodo
This was the full name of Grand Admiral Thrawn. He gave his core name of Thrawn to any non-Chiss he encountered, including Captain Parck, when the Imperial officer first encountered him on a remote world in the Unknown Regions. This full name identified Thrawn as a member of the Nuruodo family, one of the Ruling Families of Chiss society. (SWJ7, SOP, VOF, OF)

Mitt'swe'kleoni
This Chiss Aristocra traveled to Coruscant to meet with Cal Omas and Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, after it became apparent that the Colony was expanding its boundaries and encroaching on the borders ot Chiss space. Known by his core name of Twesk, he was exceptionally worried about the apparent defection of many Jedi Knights, who had left Master Skywalker's command without permission and traveled into the Unknown Regions to join UnuThul. These Jedi, led by Jaina Solo and Lowbacca, had been helping the Colony repel any Chiss ships that wandered into their territory, and Twesk demanded that they be recalled. (DN1)

Miv'rah Firestorm
This modified SoroSuub Nestt-class freighter was owned and operated by Gaor Tembon. Tembon added a pair of quad-laser cannons to the lower hull, which could be retracted when not in use. A SoroSuub Nepton power core kept everything operational, with the assistance of several Koensayr TLB power converters. (WBC)

Mixer
This clone trooper was part of the unit that was assigned to protect Duchess Satine Kryze of Kalevala, when she traveled to Coruscant to plead for peace, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. The clones were under the command of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Commander Cody, and were assigned to patrol duty aboard the transport vessel Coronet during the Duchess's trip to Coruscant. However, during a regular sweep of the ship's cargo holds, Mixer and Redeye were attacked and killed by an assassin droid. (CWTV35)

Mixerbot
Any automaton programmed to tend bar. (LCM)

MixRMastR
This was a series of Cybot Galactica robo-bartenders. The MixRMastR was designed to be bolted to a table or counter, measuring junder a meter in height. Vaguely humanoid in stature, the MixRMastR was connected to a network of tubes which ran up through its base, which were connected to beverage dispensors of all varieties. A database of mixed drinks was installed to allow the MixRMastR to create an incredible variety of concoctions. Once Cybot realized that many establishments were not rich enough to have a MixrMastR at every table, a repulsor-equipped model was produced which could float about a room and serve drinks. (CSA, EGD)

Mixtwirk
This small, alien race had a pair of receptive antennae on its head. (SWJ15)

Mixxim
Abal Karda used this alias when he fled Vestar to Star Station 12. He gave it as his name when he had Bojam Rees tattoo the tribal pattern of a Duhma on his face. (EOE)

Miyou
This barren ball of rock was the seventh world in the Kamino System. It was orbited by five moons. (GORW)

Miy'til Assault Bomber
This starfighter was developed by the Hapes Consortium from the basic designs of the Miy'til Fighter. It measured twenty meters in length, and required a pilot and co-pilot to operate. It was armed with a pair of laser cannons and two concussion missile tubes, each of which carried sixteen heavy missiles. In order to accommodate the additional weaponry, the wings of the Miy'till Assault Bomber were much heavier than those of the Miy'til fighter. Also, instead of four smaller sublight drives, the Miy'til Bomber had two larger drives. In order to ensure proper operation, the cockpit of the Miy'till Bomber was enlarged to provide space for a gunner.

Despite its design roots, the Miy'til Assault Bomber never saw widespread utilization, even within the Hapan Navy. However, those commanders that employed the Miy'til Bomber found that the ships were quite effective in their missions, presumably because the scarcity of Miy'til Bombers meant that they were something of a surprise to other groups. Although these bombers were equipped with Class 2 hyperdrives, the mission profile called for using the hyperdrive only for short-range jumps into a battle zone or for emergency escapes. (SOG, SSOG)

Miy'til Fighter
This Hapan starfighter was a short, sleek craft measuring just over seven meters in length. The bat-shaped design had the cockpit and engines mounted between two forward-sweeping wings. The craft's small size means that the Hapan engineers had to miniaturize many of its components. Each wing was tipped with an ion cannon, and a triple blaster cannon was installed just beneath the cockpit. Later models also accommodated the installation of a concussion missile launcher. The Miy'til employed an R2 astromech droid to assist with in-flight operations and navigation. First-generation models placed the astromech socket on top of the ship, leaving the droid exposed during flight. Later generations enclosed the astromech for better protection. The Miy'til fighter was propelled by four Incom 6X4 fusial thrust engines, but its speed was relatively low compared to the A-Wing fighter. (EGV, CTD, SSOG)

Miywondl
This deity was one of many in the mythology of the Gwurran, the diminutive Ansionian race. Miywondl was the god who controlled the wind, and because the wind never truly stopped on Ansion, it was believed that Miywondl was the most powerful of all the Gwurran deities. (APS)

Miza
This Chiss male was part of the squadron which was assembled to support Jagged Fel's fact-finding mission to the New Republic, shortly before the Battle of Coruscant. When Jagged decided that the best way to gather information was to assist the Republic in their struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong, Miza and his fellow pilots agreed to stay. Miza joined the Twin Suns Squadron, and was known as Twin Suns Eight during his time with the Republic. After Coruscant fell and the Republic's forces regrouped on Calamari, Miza agreed to accompany Jaina Solo and her parents on a mission to re-establish communications to parts of the galaxy which had been cut off. Jaina would have preferred another pilot, believing that Miza was less reliable than some others, but agreed to accept his help. When they discovered that the planet N'zoth and the Yevetha had been destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong, Miza broke off to investigate a transmission from a nearby moon. The last surviving Yevethan warrior had crashed on the moon, and was waiting for the Yuuzhan Vong to find him. Despite the fact the Miza was not huting him, the Yevetha refused to be rescued. He set his ship to self-destruct, and Miza's clawcraft was caught in the blast. Miza was killed instantly. (FH1)

Mizobon Spaceport

MK 8001
This attendant droid was designed and manufactured by AccuTronics. Humanoid in design, it was the first in a long series of "family-oriented" automata produced during the military era of the Galactic Civil War. Its primary programming gave it the capability to guard and care for the young or infirm, and it could provide limited medical attention in emergency situations. (SWJ13)

MK Enterprises
Founded by Meysen Kayson, this conglomerate was best know for one of it holdings, the Greel Wood Logging Corporation. (SWJ6)

Mk II Smartgunner
This form of "intelligent" weapons control chip was developed during the early years of the New Republic, although they were never really mass-produced. These "smart chips" allowed weapons to aimed and fired automatically, greatly reducing the need for gunners on a starship. Jorkatt the Render and Vohrkrewel Yahrkar tried to swindle Octavius Jupiter Scragg out of a huge pile of credits by selling him faked versions of these chips, but Yahrkar's personal droid discovered they were false and returned them. (POC)

MK x/S
This was a series of modular weapon which could be mounted on a vehicle. The various configurations were denoted by number (Mk 1/S, Mk 2/S, etc.) to denote the power of the weapon. Depending on needs, the Mk series could be mounted as a medium or heavy blaster cannon, a light or medium laser cannon, or a grenade launcher. (MBC)

Mk xe/S
This was an enhanced version of the standard MK x/S weapons series. Like the base series, these weapons were vehicle-mounted, and denoted by power (Mk 1e/S, Mk 2e/S, etc.). These weapons boasted increased power and accuracy. (MBC)

MK-09
This MK-series maintenance droid was owned by the Azzameen family, and performed regular duties aboard the freighters of the Twin Suns Transport Service. Known to the family as Emkay, this droid was modified to be able to fix and repair, as well as fly, the Azzameen's freighters. The extent of this additional programming had altered his personality circuits, and Emkay became quite aggressive toward other droids. He often went looking for a fight with the other automata serving Twin Suns, and the Azzameen began planning to adjust his aggression circuits. (XWA)

MK-11
This droid diagnostic kit was produced by Interstellar Droid Monitors, Inc., during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GFT)

Mk-11
see MK-11 (AEG)

Mk-127
Produced by Golan Arms, the Mk-127 was a wrist-mounted weapons system which shot out a series of small, circular blades when fired. The original design of the Mk-127 was produced by the Vacutech Combine, until it went out of business. (GFT, AEG)

MK221
This silver-plated attendant droid had served the N'Vaari family for five generations, and was owned by Brinaloy N'Vaari during the height of the New Order. MK221 was decidedly silent about her disappearance, citing its loyalty to the N'Vaari's and Brinaloy in particular. Known as "Emmy-Kaye" to the family, MK221 was programmed to be a nanny and personal assistant. (ND)

MK-3
Borstel's ion cannon. (XW)

This Imperial Navy warrant officer served as the signal officer aboard the Avenger, during the last years of the New Order. He was responsible for testing and coordinating tractor beam operations, as well as relaying the ship's activities and fleet orders to the Captain. (CCG4)

Mkbuto Islands
This was the name given to the handful of small islands that rose above the surface of the water from the Mkbuto Seatree Preserve on the planet Mon Calamari. In ancient times, there were many larger islands, and the Mon Calamari race believed that their ancestors developed intelligence on these islands. Most of the Mkbuto Islands sank beneath the surface of the water during a seaquake that occurred many centuries before the Clone Wars. Many years after the Corellian Incident, what appeared to be a planetary repulsor was unearthed from the sanb of one of the Mkbuto Islands, but it turned out to be a cleverly constructed hoax. (GORW)

Mkbuto Seatree Preserve
Located in the oceans of Calamari, this undersea forest was found along the planet's equatorial belt. The Preserve stretched for hundreds of kilometers, and was made up of a wide variety of sea-growing trees and huge seaweeds. Thousands of species of sea creatures also lived within the forest. The Preserve was heavily settled by the pre-industrial Mon Calamari, but they soon discovered that much of the Preserve exists over the border of two tectonic plates. Thus, long-term habitation was impossible due to the intense changes, but the abundant life in the forest continued to flourish. Much of the original civilization had been overtaken by the plants. Admiral Ackbar maintained a home in the Preserve. (JASB)

M'kim
This young Thranta Rider was training to join one of the foremost troupes on Cloud City, about the time Lando Calrissian and Cojahn were creating SkyCenter Galleria. When Jacen Solo, Tenel Ka, and Lowbacca were ambushed and Jacen fell from the bottom of Cloud City, M'kim had been out practicing his riding skills and rescued Jacen. M'kim had been out with his troupe when Czethros murdered Cojahn. (TCC)

MK-series Droid
Built by Kalibac Industries, the MK-series droids were designed for general maintenance operations. They rolled along on two wide treads, and their stout bodies gave them a low center of gravity. The MK-series had a pair of manipulator arms, and a sensor-studded head mounted on an extendable pivot arm. (XWA)

M'kwat
This word from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "what." (GPB)

A musician who performed during the Galactic Civil War. (TME)

Mlaske
This female Jedi Knight was one of the many who were called upon to serve as Generals in the Grand Army of the Republic, during the era of the Clone Wars. General Mlaske openly questioned the Republic's decision to send troops to the planet Haurgab, which had no strategic value and no natural resources to make it important to the war effort. General Mlaske argued that the only reason the GAR was on Haurgab was to keep the peace between those inhabitants who supported the Republic and the Maujasi rebels. (RC66)

MLC-3
This small, one-person vehicle moved about on heavy treads, and was armed with a pair of medium repeating blaster cannons. These vehicles were designed for perimeter defenses, allowing teams of security agents using MLC-3s to patrol the terrain surrounding a main facility. (MC78)

MLC-50
This model of magnetic locking system was produced by Locris Syndicates, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. About the size of a datapad, the MLC-50 was a two-part system used to secure doors or lids. The MLC-50 was split into two parts, with the parts being affixed to the door and its jamb, or to both halves of a two-panel door. The MLC-50 was then activated, holding the door and itself with a strength rivaling a molecular bond. (GFT, AEG)

Mluki
This race of humanoids lived on the planet Belsavis, in the rift valley domes. They mature rapidly, reaching adolescence at 7 standard years, old age at 30 years. Simian in appearance, they were covered with hair. (COJ)

MM(X)
This experimental grenade launcher was created by Merr-Sonn during the months leading up to the Clone Wars. Separatist forces obtained several prototypes of this weapon, which featured a dual-operated firgin mechanism. (SHPT)

MM-40
This was a type of thermal charge that was produced during the years following the Great Sith War. The MM-40 charge could be placed within a mass of explosive material, and could be set off with a timer or by remote activation. The resulting bloom of heat caused the surrounding to explode. (KOR7)

MM7
This was an early version of the Kelvarec Consolidated Arms single-shot, wrist-mounted flechette launcher. Jango Fett used one of these weapons on his left wrist. (SWRPG2)

MM9
This was Kelvarek Consolidated Arms' wrist-mounted rocket launching system, produced during the last decades of the Old Republic. These launchers could fire a variety of tiny warheads, including the Type-12A and Type-12B explosive rockets. Boba Fett used these rocket launchers in his upgraded Mandalorian battle armor. (DMSH, EGW)

MM-9
This was a powerful, portable missile that was produced for use in backpack- and shoulder-mounted projectile launchers, during the years following the galaxy's war against the Yuuzhan Vong. They were exceptionally destructive and equally expensive, which served to limit their use to planetary governments and wealthy mercenaries. (LF2)

MMD
An outdated service droid. (COJ)

MMF
An outdated, three-armed service droid. (COJ)

Mmhmm Butterfly
This insect, native to the planet Baskarn, made up a large part of the diet of the yrashu, (SWJ2)

MMLT Launcher
This missile-launching system was developed by Arakyd Industries during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It found widespread use among the Trandoshan mercenaries of the era, who used it to attack Wookiee cities on the planet Kashyyyk. The MMLT could fire up to eight explosive-tipped missiles in rapid succession, but required a cooling-down period after each burst. (LAWS)

MMR-9
This series of recovery droid was developed by Imik Suum for SoroSuub, during the final years of the Old Republic. Modeled after immense construction droids, the MMR-9 was capable of moving in hazardous environments, and was programmed to recover valuable materials and equipment from areas that were unapproachable by organic beings. Each of these walking automatons was protected by heavy armor plating, and was equipped with magnetic feet, specialized sensor systems, and a cutting torch.

Unknown to the droid's designer, Innik Suum, the plans for the MMR-9 were stolen by Eaba N'Wan, who sold them to the Fireclaw Horde. The mercenaries of the Fireclaw Horde planned to use modified versions of the MMR-9 in an attempt to hijack the luxury liner Queen of Cularin. Unofficially referred to as MMR-9 Marauders, these droids were equipped with self-destruct systems, and were to be launched into space. Their magnetic feet would allow them to attach to the ship's hull, and the cutting torch would have made quick work of the liner's hull. However, the Fireclaw Horde was intercepted by a group of freelance agents before they could launch their attacks, and the droids were never released into space. (JST2)

MMR-9 Marauder
This was the name used by a group of freelance agents to describe the stolen prototypes of the MMR-9 recovery droid, which were obtained by the Fireclaw Horde, in an attempt to ambush the luxury liner Queen of Cularin. These prototypes were equipped with a self-destruct mechanism, which would have eliminated any evidence of Fireclaw Horde's involvement in the ambush. However, the freelance agents intercepted the Queen of Cularin and drove off the mercenaries. This allowed them to save the luxury liner and recover the prototype MMR-9 units. (JST2)

MM-s3
This was the model number of one of Merr-Sonn's grenade launchers. It was designed as a one-man weapon, and was equipped with a microrepulsor engine to assist in handling the weapon. A magnetic clamp was also installed, allowing the weapon to be mounted to a turret or base. Merr-Sonn later placed the MM-s3 atop its WW-676 repulsorlift vehicle, creating the MobileMortar-3 weapons platform. (EGW)

MMV-608
This MMV-series mining droid was converted by Hugo Bartyn into a rolling weapons platform, severl hundred years before the Clone Wars. Bartyn stationed the droid at the secret entrance to the Outer Rim Oreworks mines in the mountain range known as the Krakana's Maw, to keep intruders out of the automated mining operations. It was believed that the droid shut itself down after a prolonged period of inactivity, only to be awakened shortly after the Battle of Naboo when a group of freelancers were given access to the mines by Bartyn's descendant, Guther Bartyn. The freelancers managed to bypass MMV-608 by unplugging its neural processor, rendering the droid incapacitated. (GMR7)

MMV-series Droid
This model of treaded mining droid was produced several hundred years before the Galactic Civil War. (GMR7)

MN-2E
A series of maintenance droids produced by Industrial Automaton, originally at the request of the facilities managers of the Imperial Palace on Coruscant. The Empire later used one of them in concert with the Ch'hala tress of Coruscant to form the Delta Source. Conical in form, the MN-2E was a tread-driven automaton equipped with sensitive manipulators that can effect detailed or delicate repairs. Note that The Essential Guide to Droids indicates that the MN-2E was equipped with a repulsorlift engine for locomotion. They also had special magnifying visual sensors, and had a variety of cutting and collection apparatus, as well as an internal waste-recycling system. (DSTC, TLC, SWJ14, EGD)

Mneffe-class Superluminal
This shuttle design was produced by DuroTech during the early years of the New Order. It had a long, central fuselage slung beneath a semi-circular wing. The ship measured 27 meters in length, and required a pilot and co-pilot to operate. It had enough capacity to transport up to six passengers and twenty metric tons of cargo, and was armed with a turret-mounted double laser cannon. (ND)

M'Nes
Known as the True Faith, this Gorothite religion was founded by the V'Sook during the Imperial occupation of Goroth Prime. The M'Nes religion was based on the belief that the Gorothite people were being tested in a crucible of suffering and pain, and that the endurance of the suffering would strengthen the B'Dellyi to the point of transcendence. Individual suffering was required, but an individual could not be raised without the complete transcendence of the species. The priestesses of the M'Nes, known as the K'Kela Mey, decried those Gorothites who sought to break free of Imperial control as heretics and sinners, working against the greater good of the species. (GSE)

M'Nes Brin
This was the Gorothite term of the "receptacle of the True Faith," and referred to the V'Sook j'ber. (GSE)

Mnuue, Kiju
This Herglic was at one time the leader of the Guild of Non-Human Skilled Laborers, working at the Tallaan Imperial shipyards for many decades during the New Order. He was a skilled zero-gee welder, cargo inspector, and job foreman, and was instrumental in the formation of the Guild of Non-Human Skilled Laborers. He was also a member of the local Alliance cell on Tallaan, and was often in communication with the Mon Calamari and the Corellian Shipbuilders Unions regarding new Imperial designs. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Kijo was in charge of the shipyards' environmental controls, managing the operation of the life support systems throughout the facilities. (CRO)

M'nuush

Mo killee ma klounkee
This Huttese phrase roughly translated into Basic as "It will be the end of you." (E1A14)

Mo' Moolee Rah
This was one of the smaller open-air markets that were established in the spaceport city of Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, during the early years of the New Republic. Its location, in near the Tar Mass neighborhood, meant that only those beings with a need to visit the market actually made the trip, and even then most beings moved through the market with bodyguards. Within the shops and stores of the Mo' Moolee Rah market, one could find a wide variety of used weapons and technonolgies. (GPB)

Mo/Dk
This power harpoon system was developed by Ubrikkian, during the height of the New Order. The Alliance installed these systems on their T-47 snowspeeders, in hopes of using the harpoon and a tow cable against Imperial AT-AT walkers. (CCS)

Moactan teel
This as a Chiss insult, meant to infer that an individual was fair-haired. In the Chiss culture, this was a fairly potent insult, since virtually every member of the Chiss race had jet-black hair. The insult lost its meaning whenever a Chiss used it away from their homeworld. (FH1)

Moahdi
This elderly Melida freedom fighter was a supporter of Wehutti, and fought along side the one-armed warrior. (DOD)

Moana
This term from the Bocce langauge translated into Basic as "moon". (GPB)

Moap
This Kitonak worked as a crime broker on the moon Nar Shaddaa, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He spent most of his time moving between bars and cantinas, arranging illicit and underhanded dealings for various crimelords. Outwardly disorganized and indecisive, Moap had a quick mind and little fear of anything. Shortly after the murder of Nak Simm, Moap was approached by a group of mercenaries who were working for Torga the Hutt. They were investigating Simm's death, and Nomo Sliken's bank accounts revealed that Moap had made a deposit into the accounts just prior to the murder. Moap explained that he had been working as an intermediary for Doronnar, who had been sent by Moska the Hutt to arrange for Simm's death. In reality, Moap had been hired by Jolla the Hutt to create the strife between Torga and Moska, in an effort to claim both their operations for himself. (WOA24)

Moappa
This strange form of invertebrate was native to the oceans of the planet Mon Calamari, and was believed to have existed on the planet before the Mon Calamari and the Quarren civilizations were firs formed. As individuals, the pink, bell-shaped creatures were essentially primitive, mindless blobs of jelly. However, when large groups united to form colonies, the intelligence of each individual was united to form a fully sentient entity. This community sentience was even capable of telepathic communication. For many millennia, the moappa were perfectly content to appear as primitive invertebrates, until the Clone Wars broken out across the galaxy. When the Mon Calamari tried to decide the loyalty of the entire planet, the moappa became angry and decided to ally themselves with the Separatists. They used their telepathic abilities to relay the orders of remote Separatist generals to the Quarren who were fighting against the Mon Cals, in an effort to bring all the sentient beings on Mon Calamari together. When Jedi Master Kit Fitso discovered the abilities of the moappa, he forced the Mon Calamari leaders to drop their pretenses of superiority and aloofness, and begin working with the Quarren and the moappa to save the planet and its oceans together. (CWA1)

MOB
This was an abbreviation for the main observation blister of a starship. (BF2)

Mob un loo?
This question from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "How much?" (GPB)

Mobari, Sora
This woman was one of the many Jedi Masters who were injured during the early stages of the Clone Wars. She and her Padawan were dispatched to the planet Ithor, where they met with strong opposition from Ithorian terrorists. She was betrayed by her Padawan during the fighting, who had planned to kill her in an explosion. Unfortunately, he was too close, and died in the blast. Master Mobari was badly injured, and lost her sight as a result of the explosion. She was taken to the hospital facility on New Holstice to recover. A'Sharad Hett asked Anakin Skywalker to sit with her in the hospital, hoping to make her last hours comfortable. Anakin, having already seen so much death on Jabiim, offered to try and keep her heart beating with the Force. He believed that he could use the same constriction technique he used on Orliss Gillmunn to massage her heart. Master Hett forbid it, explaining to Anakin that trying to keep her alive would only cause more suffering. Anakin struggled with this, and reluctantly let Master Mobari die. (RBJ)

Mober Snake
This reptile was particularly dangerous, since it had a head at each end of its body and both of its heads were poisonous. (CE2)

Mobile Chapter
This was a joking term used by Ben Skywalker to describe the Jade Shadow, when he and his father, Luke, spent several months in exile. Luke had accepted a ten-year exile from the Jedi Order at the insistence of Chief of State Natasi Daala, in an attempt to restore the galaxy in the wake of the Second Galactic Civil War. Ben accompanied his father aboard the ship, hoping to reconnect with him after being in the company of Jacen Solo. However, Luke insisted that they both continue to train and study as Jedi, prompting Ben to remark that the Jade Shadow had become a Mobile Chapter of the Jedi academy. (FJ2)

Mobile Command Base
This was the name given to a heavily-armored Imperial vehicle that rolled on a series of treads, and which served as a secure platform for obversing and planning military actions in the field. Although the mobile command base was equipped with a heavy laser cannon, it was not meant to see combat action. These 21.8-meter-long vehicles were manufactured for the Empire by Nen-Carvon, and were produced for commercial use as the Teklos vehicle. (ISB, GG11)

Mobile Command Post
This was a form of pre-fabricated building that was designed by Sienar Fleet Systems for the Empire, during the height of the New Order. These facilities were developed for use on planets where the Empire only needed a temporary presence to secure a location, before turning control of the planet over to an Imperial governor. The mobile command post was constructed in space, and then towed to its next location by space tugs. The tugs then maneuvered the entire construct to the planet's surface, where foundational moorings had been sunk into the ground. The mobile command post could then serve as the military headquarters until the planet was under Imperial control. Tugs were then brought in to retrieve the mobile command post, which could then be towed to its next location. (LF1)

Mobile Defense Unit
Known as an MDU, this weapons platform could be moved into position on a battlefield to help defend an entrenched position. These huge vehicles were developed during the height of the New Order, and found widespread use within the criminal underground of the galaxy, as crimelords fought to defend their empires. Armament was attached at the top of the vehicle by special mounting grips, allowing individual MDUs to be armed for a variety of combat situations. (LAWS)

Mobile Grenade Mortar
This was one of the first Merr-Sonn weapons platforms produced for the Empire, shortly after the end of the Clone Wars. It was essentially a repulsorlift sled that had been modified to accommodate a mortar launcher, as well as a pair of stormtroopers. One stormtrooper handled flight and maneuvering, while the other manned the weapons systems. The launching system on the Mobile Grenade Mortar could fire up to one hundred mortars a second at a chosen target. This required a munitions hold that could carry hundreds of spare mortars, which were loaded into the launcher via a tube. (LJ2)

Mobile Mining Barge I
Developed and manufactured by the Lant Mining Corporation, this 275-meter-long repulsorbarge was designed to provide a stable working platform for mining operations on tectonically or seismically active worlds. Originally designed for use on Lish V, this barge required a crew of 55 to operate, along with 24 mining operators. The barge was equipped with eight plasma drills, eight high-intensity mining lasers,and eight tractor beam projectors. The barge could also transport up to 250 metric tons of ore. (FBS)

Mobile Proton Torpedo Launcher
Developed by Loratus Manufacturing for use by the Alliance, this mobile proejctile launching platform was a ground-based vehicle that could attack a remote enemy location using proton torpedoes fired in parabolic arcs. Known as the MPTL, this vehicle saw limited implementation on the battlefield, due to its lack of speed and the need for a remote spotter to assist in targeting. It was eventually replaced by the MPTL-2a. (FC, SWDB)

Mobile Stockade

Mobquet Presents: Fastest Land Beings
This annual event, sponsored by Mobquet Swoops and Speeders, provided some of the galaxy's fastest individuals with a chance to set personal, planetary, or galactic speed records. Playing on the fact that Mobquet produced some of the galaxy's fastest vehicles, the "Fastest Land Beings" series had categories based on the number of legs a participant had. Every participant had to be an intelligent, sentient being in order to qualify. There were eight main classes of beings racing in the events, with classes for bipeds, tripeds, quadripeds, pentapeds, sexapeds, septapeds, octopeds, and nonapeds. Those beings with ten or more legs were placed into a single class called decaped-plus. (HNN5)

Mobquet Swoops and Speeders
This subdivision of Tagge Company produced some of the galaxy's best-known repulsorlift designs. They were most famous for their swoops, which became wildly popular with the rise of swoop racing during the era of the New Order. Several Core World studies showed that Mobquet designs were among the best in the galaxy. (SWSB, CSA, EGV)

Moburi
This Mandalorian man was one of the elite troops that accompanied Boba Fett to defend the Nickel One asteroid, in the wake of the Second Battle of Fondor. Fett and Jaina Solo were cut off from the main squad when a group of Imperial warships arrived to take control of the asteroid, and Fett was forced to place Moburi in charge of the squad until he could reach their position. Moburi did his best to keep the squad alive, but the Imperials used a massive plasma cannon to defend their positions. (LF9)

Mobus
This gas giant, with its seventeen moons, was the only world in the Klasse Ephemora System. A Chiss probe discovered the existence of a new moon, denoted M-18, just after the Battle of Yavin. This moon was believed to have been the rogue planet Zonama Sekot, a belief which was proven to be true whan Luke Skywalker and a group of Jedi Knights managed to locate the Klasse Ephemora System during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (FH2, FH3)

Mobvekhar
A Noghri of the clan Hakh'khar, Mobvekhar served as a lieutenant to Cakhmaim as part of the ten-Noghri team assigned to guard Leia Organa Solo's twins somce five years after the Battle of Endor. Han Solo had decided to join the mission to destroy Grand Admiral Thrawn's cloning fciality on Wayland, and Cakhmaim had agreed to help protect Leia, Winter and the children, Jaina and Jacen Solo. Mobvekhar remained on Wayland after the death of Thrawn, as part of the security team which protected the safehouse in New Nystao. (TLC, HT)

Mochat Steep

Requiring a crew of fifty to operate, the MOD-17 had room for up to thirty passengers and 200,000 metric tons of cargo. Each of the cargo sections could be modified to provide a variety of environments, from basic shielded space to aquatic or gaseous habitats, depending on the types of cargo to be transported. These ships were capable of hyperspace flight. (GMR8)

Mod-3
This astromech droid was owned by Vana Sage, and assisted her in flying the Guardian Mantis. (STF)

Modan
Manufacturers of large starfreighters. (TT)

Modant, Hyx
This Bothan acted as the primary envoy of the Thaereian Military to Cularin, during the early years of the Clone Wars. He held the rank of Colonel in the Thaereian Military at the time. Colonel Modant disliked Osten Dal'Nay, of the Cularin Military, since Commander Dal'Nay was extremely vocal in his opposition to the Thaereian Military's presence in the Cularin System. When he was invited to share his views on the newscast Eye on Cularin, Colonel Modant was asked to support his actions during a recent boarding mission. Dal'Nay accused the Thaereian Military of conducting illegal search and seizure raids on Cularin starships. Modant denied the allegations, until Yara Grugara showed the panel a captured holovid of Colonel Modant and his officers confiscating a cargo without reason. In anger, Colonel Modant pulled his blaster and shot the viewscreen to pieces, before storming off the set. (LFCW)

This was one of the most common Gungan surnames, taking from the father's side of the family. These surnames were not dropped, even after marriage. To the Gungans, it meant "bubble builder". (GCG)

Modbom, Kroke
This Gungan was captured by then-Lieutenant Panaka at the Port Landiem Perfumery, after a prolonged chase and short firefight. Kroke had been wanted in connection to several killings, and was finally captured by Panaka and Sergeant Bialy. Kroke denied every having a blaster, despite the fact that Bialy claimed she never fired her weapon. Upon capture, Kroke was given over to Sate Pestage, at the order of King Veruna himself, for transport to Coruscant. It was later revealed the Kroke had been working for the man known as Veermok. Note that this character was also referred to as Korke. (GMR2)

Moddell Sector
This area of the galaxy was located between Spar and Ablajeck Sectors, in the Inner Zuma region and on the border of the Unknown Regions. It was considered in two sections: the Inner Moddell was defined by the line from Vasha through Vex and Mina to Kuna's Tooth, while the Outer Moddell contained Endor, Sanyassa, and the Din and Monsua Nebulae. This sector of the galaxy was known for the many hyperspace eddies and sinkholes that were found within its boundaries, which caused all manner of problems with starship systems. These anomalies caused many ships to become hopelessly lost, and the sector was littered with frozen hulks that never reached their destinations. (GMR9, GORW)

Mode, Qwallo
This young Duros was one of the Jedi Knights who served the galaxy during the years that followed the Swarm War. About a year after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, Qwallo Mode disappeared on a regular courier run in the Tapani Sector. When a thorough investigation turned up no evidence of his whereabouts, the Jedi Council was forced to conclude that he had died while on the mission. When Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, traveled to the Maw cluster of black holes about a year later, they discovered a being who bore an uncanny resemblance to Qwallo Mode floating in the area known as Stable Zone One. The being they encountered was floating in space without any form of protection, and fired a portable missile launcher at the Jade Shadow as it moved through the space between two black holes. The Skywalkers survived, and reached Sinkhole Station, a strange, derelict space station hidden within the Maw. There, they encountered another being that looked like Qwallo Mode, although this time the being appeared to have been at the station for some time. Blood loss from a thigh injury had left the Duros quite pale, and his emaciated body gave the impression that he had not eaten in a long time. The Skywalkers fixed the injury to his leg, but Mode did not rouse from his state of slumber. Qwallo eventually returned to consciousness during the treatment, and demanded to return to the mind walking that he was engaged with. Luke agreed to let him return, but asked him about the mission and his disappearance. Qeallo Mode revealed that he had experienced a moment of confusion during the mission, and that he had the distinct feeling that everyone around him had been replaced by imposters. This correlated with the strange Force-related psychoses that were being experienced the young Jedi Knights who had been kept safe at Shelter base, although it gave the Skywalkers more questions than answers. (FJ3)

Produced by Ubrikkian during the height of the New Order, the Model VI skiff was known for its durability heritage of quality. Many older version of the Ubrikkian skiff continued to work for centuries with minimal maintenance, and the Model VI was built to these demanding expectations. Measuring 17.5 meters in length, it marketed as a personnel transport vehicle. It could accommodate up to forty-five passengers and 500 kilograms of cargo. (AEG)

Model X
Calban's heavy blaster pistol, the Model X was a powerful but fragile weapon that required continual maintenance. When the Empire nationalized Calban's operations on Calabosh-2, the plans for the Model X were reused in the design of the Renegade heavy blaster. (GG9, AEG)

Modeler, The
This was the common name used to describe the Yuuzhan Vong deity Yun-Ne'Shel. (FH2)

Model-X1 Zhurst
One make of racing cloud car. Han Solo owned one at his floating house on Bespin. (ZHR)

Moder, Omow
This Ithorian studied the ecology of the planet Clak'Dor VII during the height of the New Order, but found himself at odds with the native Bith over scientific methods. While the Bith were overly logical in their approach to the environment, Omow Moder wanted to simply get onto a solution to the planet's problem. However, he remained on Clak'Dor VII to continue to learn anything he could about the situation. (GORW)

Moderation
In the game of sabacc, Moderation was one of the face cards in a standard deck. The picture on the face of Moderation often depicted a Jedi Knight. The card's value could be either positive or negative fourteen. (CPL, LCF)

Modern Galactic Light Time
Abbreviated MGLT, this was the standard measurement for subspace velocity. 1 MGLT was approximately equal to 10 km/h (6.4 mph). This measurement was also referred to as a 'megalight'. (SCRE, XWA)

Modetto, Trel
A group of Alliance agents had planned to meet with this smuggler on Lamuir IV, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. They hoped to be able to obtain shipments of bacta to use in treating soldiers injured in battle with the Empire. Unknown to the Alliance agents, Modetto was wanted by House Mecetti, the Void Demon pirate gang, and several loansharks, and he had to flee the area or be captured. The team was sidetracked by Janna Pallask, who purposely misdirected them in order to save Coros Telari. The agents eventually met up with him at the Hungry Herglic, but Modetto was unable to help them obtain any bacta. (TSIA)

Modified Briar Pistol
A small blaster created by shortening the Bryar Rifle. Like the Bryar rifle, this was an antiquated, but accurate, weapon. (DF)

Modirin Mining Concern
This mining operation bought up the abandoned chromium mines what littered the landscape of the planet Aduba-3, after it was learned that the chromium had been seeded on the planet as part of a wide-ranging scam. Many of the beings who called Aduba-3 their home were unaware that Modirin was actually owned by the Tenloss Syndicate, and had probably seeded the chromium on the planet itself. The abandoned buildings were converted into a variety of uses, and Modirin almost single-handedly turned Aduba-3 into a shadowport. Although the prices wre cheap, the conditions and facilities were considered almost deplorable. (GMR4)

Modl, Bask
A native of the planet Bestine IV, this man served in the naval forces of the Old Republic military, during the height of the Mandalorian Wars. In response to his heroic actions during The Onslaught, Modl was promoted to Captain. (KOR4)

Modmeal
This was the term used to describe any small, packaged food that was usually found in cantinas and taverns throughout the galaxy. The modmeal contained was usually warmed up in an oven, and served in its container. The diner simply pulled a tab to remove the cover, and consumed the meal while sitting at the bar. These meals were often bland or lacking in texture, but were nonetheless nutritious. (DSTR)

Modo
This man worked as a bartender at Lupo's bar on Nar Shaddaa, during the years following the Jedi Civil War. (KOTOR2)

Modog
This small corporation manufactured a line of starship power couplings. Modog products were considered among the best couplings, until Dekk started producing the Dekk-6. (DE1, TME, HFG)

Modrol
This immense predator walked erect, and was covered with dense fur. Its feet were heavy and clawed, while its hands were studded with five sharp talons. The middle talon on each hand was elongated, forming a sharp, heavy blade which it could use to open up its prey with a single swipe of its paw. Native to the jungle world of Port Haven, modrols had thick skin which was covered with hair-like tendrils. It could alter the coloration of its skin to match its surroundings, giving them the ability to ambush their prey with ease. (WSV, PSPG)

Modular Conveyor
This was the generic description of a type of specialized starship that was designed to transport up to four containers at a time. The 150-meter-long modular conveyor was comprised of a forward cockpit section, which was linked to two connector sections. Each connector section could attach to two containers. The rear connector section also contained the conveyor's drive systems. They had a top sublight speed of 24 MGLT, and had minimal 70 SBD shields protecting a 30 RU hull. Most modular conveyors were built to move E-class containers. (TSC)

Modular Taskforce Cruiser
Manufactured by Tagge Industries Shipyards, the modular taskforce cruiser had an underlying structure that allows it to be built for any number of uses. Basic functional modules can be added to a single framework, making the ship economical for everyone. The basic structure includes the drive system, crew quarters, life support, and command compartments. The functional modules include a hospital module, a survey module, an observation module, a rescue module, and an inquisition module. The basic frame was 1,150 meters long, and was armed with fifteen medium turbolasers. The crew of a taskforce cruiser depends upon its configuration. (DE1, DESB)

Mody
This Caarite youth was often found playing spacer games with his friends in the city of Joventusek, on Caarimon, during the final years of the Old Republic. Mody and his friends longed to be starpilots, and often accosted offworld visitors with questions about their starships. (MCT3)

Moe, Aks
This Gran was a native of the planet Malastare, and rose to become one of the planet's primary political forces. As the Ambassador of the Congress of Malastare, Aks Moe was eventually elected as his planet's Senator to the Old Republic, and proved to be a skillful politician. However, like many of the Senators of his day, Moe was nothing more than a politician, and worked strictly by the laws and protocols put in place by the Republic. It was Senator Moe who agreed to host the peace treaty negotations between the Lannik and the Red Iaro, and it was Moe who also promised that the Red Iaro would have the cooperation of the Malastare government during the negotiations. In addition to his ties to the Red Iaro terrorists, Aks Moe cultivated a relationship with the priest of the Ffib. To hide his role, Aks Moe went so far as to have the Jedi Knights who were serving as mediators assassinated, although the plan eventually failed. As the Old Republic rotted from within, Senators like Moe continued to demand that every item be put to a vote, and the Senate became bogged down in its own inefficiency. When Queen Amidala traveled to Coruscant to protest the Trade Federation's invasion of her homeworld of Naboo, Aks Moe was the first Senator to demand a commission be dispatched to Naboo to investigate the situation. In the decade following the Battle of Naboo, Aks Moe was one of the loudest supporters of the Military Creation Act. Unforutnately, Senator Moe was killed in an explosion while on the planet Aargau, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. The explosion was blamed on the Separatists, who discovered that Senator Moe was on Aargau to negotiate funding of the Republic's army with the Intergalactic Banking Clan. Aks Moe was acted by Mark Coulier and voiced by Marc Silk in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (E1, E1N, IS1, ETM, HNN4, HNN5)

Moe whip yawha
This Ewokese statement translated into Basic as "We have power." (E6, GPB)

Moebius Chess
This was a variation of holochess. (LCM)

Moegantz, Saul
This diminutive humanoid being was a passenger aboard the Aurorient Express, during its last voyage some six years before the Battle of Naboo. A tan-skinned being with black hair going gray at the temples, Saul was unaware that his cargo - supposedly medicinal-grade survapierre, had been switched with a cargo of Fastlach-class defense droids. At the time, Clode Rhoden owed Saul a fairly substantial debt from poor gambling, a fact that allowed the alien the chance to transport the illegal survapierre without fear of repercussion. However, when Madam Rhoden was targetted for execution by her own husband, Saul offered to join forces with her to strike back at Clode. Madam Rhoden reluctantly agreed, seeing that a partnership with Moegantz was the lesser of several evils, including her own death. They planned to sue Clode for divorce, on the grounds that he tried to have her killed, then take all of Clode's wealth and split it between them. (TAE)

Moegid
This introverted Verpine was one of the few who chose not to go into space and explore the gaalxy beyond the Roche asteroid field. He felt starships were death-traps, a view which ostracizxed him from his hove. However, after he deciphered the data from a damaged Imperial probe droid and turned it over to the Alliance, he ralized that he was destined to be a codebreaker. He joined the Alliance, which set him up with top-of-the-line computer equipment, and never looked back. His expertise with Imperial codes was impressive, having decoded over 4,000 separate ciphers. He became a friend and business associate of Lobot in the years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. He later helped Lobot when Han Solo and Lando Calrissian attempted to locate a copy of the Caamas Document on Bastion. He and Lando set up an almost undetectable computer link, using Verpine bio-frequencies to communicate with Lobot's cyborg implant. (CRO, VOF)

This was the primary headquarters of the Moff Council that controlled the Imperial Remnant, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Moff Assembly Hall was located in the city of Ravelin, on the planet Bastion. (LF8)

Moff Balfour's Lament (Tapmint Surprise)
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)

Moff Council
This was the name given to the senatorial body of Imperial Moffs which supported Supreme Commander Gilad Pellaeon and helped run the day-to-day operations of the Imperial Remnant. While powerful in its own right, the Moff Council answered to the Supreme Commander, a fact that rankled many Moffs when Pellaeon served the military well into his nineties. After the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the galaxy, the Moff Council generally refused to assist the New Republic in any way, especially after the losses sustained by Imperial forces in the Battle of Ithor. Initially, this seemed to be a good strategy. However, the Moffs soon grew complacent in their isolation, believing that the Yuuzhan Vong would simply ignore them because no attack had yet been made on Imperial space. They refused to believe that any notice had been taken by the alien invaders, and that there were any Yuuzhan Vong agents in their midst.

This changed at the Battle of Bastion, when Yuuzhan Vong forces decimated the Imperial fleet at Bastion, and later destroyed the fleet at Muunilinst. Even with these losses, the Moff Council was loathe to agree with the information provided by Jacen Solo, especially Moff Kurlen Flennic. Flennic seized an opportunity to take control of the Empire when it was believed that Pellaeon was killed at Bastion. Pellaeon survived, however, and threatened to take the entire Imperial fleet with him to join the Galactic Alliance if the Moffs didn't accept Jacen's terms to join themselves. Reluctantly, the Moff Council decided that their best chance for survival was to join the Galactic Alliance. Even during the Corellia-GA War, the Moff Council continued to support the GA, despite growing public sentiment that the Imperial Remnant should once again secede.

When Jacen Solo offered the Moffs a chance to take possesion of Borleias and Bilbringi in exchange for military support in an assault on Fondor, the Moff Council advocated for accepting the offer, but waited until Pellaeon accepted it before formally accepting the offer. During the Second Battle of Fondor, several of the Moffs accompanied Pellaeon into battle, exercising their right to serve as military officers. However, Moff Quille and his supporters planned to remove Pellaeon from power, if the opportunity presented itself. They believed that their time had come when Tahiri Veila assassinated Pellaeon aboard the Bloodfin, but the Moffs were trapped when the crew mutinied. They were later slain when Boba Fett and a group of Mandalorians infiltrated the Bloodfin on orders from Admiral Daala, who had a long-standing grudge against the Moff Council. The Mandalorians wasted no time in shooting the Moffs, leaving the Moff Council with three-quarters of its original membership. Many believed that this attack led to the Imperial Remnant's attack on the Nickel One asteroid, where the Mandalorians had established a base to protect the Verpine munitions factories.

Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker and many of his supporters questioned the fact that the Moffs who had been killed aboard the Bloodfin were those who had opposed Pellaeon's leadership, leaving the Moff Council with the Moffs who were more sympathetic to the Galactic Alliance. The Jedi believed that Vitor Reige might have had something to do with this coincidence. In the weeks that followed the Second Battle of Fondor, two more Moffs were killed aboard the Dominion during the attempt to secure the Nickel One asteroid, and six more were killed on the asteroid when a group of Mandalorians arrived to try and free the Verpine.

In the decades that followed the war between the Galactic Alliance and The Confederation, the Moff Council began to reassert itself, gaining a stronger role in the new Empire that was formed by the ancestors of Roan Fel. However, despite their growing power, the Moffs who sat on the council continued to pursue their own agendas whenever possible. This forced the Fel Emperors to keep a tight rein on the Moff Council, to keep their attention on a united Empire. Among the most vocal in opposition to Emperor Fel was Grand Admiral Morlish Veed, who had his own designs on the Imperial throne. However, in the wake of the Sith-Imperial War, Veed and the other Moffs on the council were forced to submit to the will of the new Sith Lord, Darth Krayt. (DW, FH1, SWLB, LF4, LF8, LF9)

Moff High Council
This was the proper name of the Moff Council, as it existed during the years following the Sith-Imperial War. Led by the Grand Admiral and High Moff, Morlish Veed, the Moff Council included Nyna Calixte, Fehlaaur, Rulf Yage, and Konrad Rus among its members. During the years leading up to the Sith-Imperial War, the Moff High Council had answered to the rulership of the Fel dynasty of Emperors for decades. When the New Empire decided to go to war against the Galactic Alliance in the wake of the failure of the Ossus Project, Moffs Calixte and Veed agreed to an alliance with Darth Krayt and the new Sith Order.

The Moff Council agreed that the alliance would help tip the scales of the war in the favor of the New Empire, whose Imperial Knights were unable to overcome the Alliance's advantage of the having the Jedi Order on their side. With the agreement of the Moffs, Calixte and Veed allied the Empire with the Sith, setting off a chain of events that led to the exile of Emperor Roan Fel and the ascension of Darth Krayt to the position of galactic Emperor. As Darth Krayt grew in power, the Moff High Council continued to lose it own power, until it was little more than a conduit of power from the Sith to the planetary governments.

This situation, and the continued loss of control, led the Moff Council to begin fighting amongst themselves, with each member looking to point out the faults of the others. Veed put an end to their bickering, and decided that the time had come for the council to begin taking actions of its own. When the Sith demanded the capture of Cade Skywalker, Veed ordered his peers to locate the former Jedi and determine what was so important about him. (SWLB, SWLC)

Moff Weblin
This Imperial ship saw duty during the latter stages of the Galactic Civil War, and was later assigned to patrol space near the Koornacht Cluster. When its Number 4 power cell failed, it was remanded to Black-15, at N'zoth, for repairs. It was in drydock when the Yevetha rose up against the Empire and took control of the facility. (SOL)

Moffett, Jozzel
This woman was one of Malta the Hutt's aides. A member of a near-human race characterized by the chain of blue spots on each arm, Jozzel chose to wear her hair in a topknot which empahsized her bald pate. A dark red tattoo covered her right eye, heightening her unusual appearance. At a meeting between Malta, Jabba, and Embra, it was Jozzel who suggested that they put together teams to hunt out the Yavin Vassilika. She had been paid by members of the fledgling Alliance, led by the man known only as The Collector, to locate the crystal, as they needed the key inside it to unlock the ancient Massassi temples on Yavin 4. In order to ensure its recovery for the Alliance, Jozzel played each of the teams formed by the Hutts against each other, offering to pay the finder a handsome fee while providing a fake of the Vassilika to return to their employer. She managed to steal the Vassilika from Kalkovak and fled to Yavin 4 to deliver it. It was on the jungle moon that she learned the crystal globe was merely the vessel for the key to the Massassi temples. When she tried to flee the moon with her payment and a fake Vassilika, she was shot and killed by Farquil Ban'n. (UYV)

Moffice's Grocers
This building was found in several New Republic starfighter training simulations. (IF)

Moffing

Moggonite
This conceited, egotistical race of squat humanoids was native to the planet Arorlia. Distinguished by their long, pointed ears and monkey-like faces, Moggonites held themselves in the highest of regards, while looking down their pug noses at every other being in the galaxy. The average Moggonite was rude and inconsiderate to others, even if the other being displayed nothing but caring and devotion to the Moggonite. Moggonites were also known to be treacherous beings, taking whatever they could in order to get ahead. (T1)

Mogo
This species of broad-limbed tree was native to the jungles of Tenupe. Individual mogo trees could stand more than 100 meters in height, and their leafy tops created a dense canopy across the surface of the planet. Much of the mogo forest on Tenupe was destroyed during the Battle of Tenupe, when the Chiss used defoliants to eliminate the protection created by the canopy, in an effort to expose the positions of Killik forces to orbital observation. (DN3)

Mogo
A huge, camel-like creature with ten legs and a long, fur-covered body, these black-furred creatures were used for transportation on Roon. Because of their body length and ten legs, mogos appeared to undulate as they walk. This often proved to be a problem for first-time riders. (DCAR, EGP, GORW)

Mogotah, Grumman
This Kentra leader was the king of the city of Ironwall, and the chief rival of King Jerius of Kariish. A member of the jungle Kentra, Lord Mogotah aspired to defeat Jerius and take control of all of Orellon II. Among the Kentra, Mogotah was known as ambitious, not evil, and was something of a theatrical diplomat. When a team of Alliance agents came to Orellon II to scout out a base for the Pegasus Strike Force, they befriended Mogotah and fought beside him against the creatures of the jungle. Lord Mogotah put aside his ambitions long enough to agree with King Jerius on the Alliance team's honor, working with the King to define an area of Orellon II on which the Alliance base could be established. (SWJ2)

Mogoyu
This Rakririan finished second to Shimer Londalin in the decaped-plus race in the "Mobquet Presents: Fastest Land Beings" racing series, just prior to the onset of the Clone Wars. (HNN5)

Moh, Yee
This Neimoidian was a frequent patron of the Outlander Club, during the years surrounding the Battle of Geonosis. Yee Moh was distinguished by the data goggles she wore at all times, regardless of whether she was plugged into a computer or not. (OWS, SWI75)

Mohc, Rom
An Imperial General serving the Empire during the early days of the Galactic Civil War, Rom Mohc was a veteran of the Clone Wars. He witnessed first-hand the efficiency - as well as the limitations - of a droid army during the so-called Coruscant Insurrection, when he was forced to fight a cortosis battle droid one-on-one, and kept detailed records of his experiences for later use. After the rise of the New Order, Mohc continued to train with combat droids, and kept a trophy room in which he displayed the deactivated "corpses" of those he had defeated. He also worked with TaggeCo on the initial plans for the Z-X3 combat droid. However, like Wilhuff Tarkin and other Imperial leaders, Mohc had a private scheme in mind to help crush the Alliance and gain favor with the Emperor. Mohc opposed the creation of the first Death Star, believing it took away from the skill on one-on-one combat. Mohc's plan called for the created of a group of specially-enhanced, automated troopers - known as Dark Troopers - which he would use to annihilate the Alliance. His plans were thwarted, however, when Kyle Katarn discovered Mohc's plans and eliminated the Arc Hammer manufacturing facility. Mohc himself wore the phase three Dark Trooper exoskeleton into battle against Katarn, but was killed by the Alliance agent after a prolonged battle. (DF, SWDB, WOTC, NEGD)

Mohn
This man was a member of the Workers underground group which was led by Lenz. (TTB)

Mohrgan
This man, a cousin of Emperor Roan Fel, was one of the many Imperial Knights who served the New Empire, some 130 years after the Battle of Yavin. Mohrgan was one of Emperor Fel's closest allies, and was ordered to kill Morlish Veed if the leader of the Moff Council didn't agree with the Emperor's plans. Mohrgan never got this opportunity, for the new Sith made their own move to take control of the galaxy. Emperor Fel was warned of a Sith-led assassination attempt by Nyna Calixte, and agreed to flee Coruscant. Mohrgan and several other Imperial Knights agreed to accompany Fel's double to a meeting of the Moffs, hoping to get a chance to test their skills against the Sith.

As Calixte had predicted, the Sith interrupted a meeting of the Moff Council and attacked without warning. Many of the Moffs died swiftly, but Mohrgan and his fellow Knights leapt to the aid of their "Emperor." Unfortunately, the Imperial Knights were no match for the brute force of the Sith, and Mohrgan and the others were cut down in combat. Their deaths, and that of the false Emperor, were felt by Fel as he escaped from Coruscant, and he vowed that their deaths would not be in vain. (SWLA)

Mohris
This being served as the head bartender at the Rimsoo Seven cantina, on the planet Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars. (MJH)

Mohs
This aged being was an older member of the Toka, who was living on Rafa IV during the early years of the New Order. Mohs was also the High Singer of the Toka, a position held by one member of each generation. This allowed Mohs access to the Sharu legends, which he kept alive through various songs and chants used by the Toka people. He found Lando Calrissian in the Spaceman's Rest, and agreed to help him find the Mindharp. Mohs, however, felt that Lando was an imposter and not really the Bearer of the Key. In order to prevent an unnecessary activation of the Mindharp, Mohs tried to steal the Key from Lando a number of times, only to have Lando recover it each time. Mohs was forced to accept the fact that Lando might, in fact, be the true Bearer. They traveled to Rafa V, where Lando was able to insert he Key of the Overpeople into the Great Lock, thus opening the Great Pyramid to them. When the secret of the Mindharp was revealed to Lando, he learned that Mohs was actually a member of the Sharu race, and the only member of his generation allowed to know most of the truth about the Toka and the Sharu. However, Mohs did not know what forced the Sharu into hiding as the Toka. He was about to pass on his knowledge to a new High Singer, when Lando arrived on Rafa IV. Upon locating the Mindharp, though, Mohs found himself completely blind. His ability to see had been replaced with the intelligence of the Sharu, a trade that Mohs found more than acceptable. After the Mindharp had mistakenly been activated by Duttes Mer, Mohs himself began to change. He cleaned himself up and got a pair of glittering, cybernetic eyes. (LCM)

Moing
This small creature was often kept as a pet by wealthy beings throughout the galaxy. There were several breeds of moings, ranging in size from miniature toy versions to large breeds. (MF)

Moira Just Got Off a Starliner
This was a slang term used by many smugglers to describe any human who had never traveled to another planet, and who was easily distinguished in a spaceport by their amazed stare at their new surroundings. These beings were often targets for pickpockets and other theives who hung around the spaceports. (CSA)

Moirestone
This hard, durable stone was native to the planet Woteba. Noted for its unusual pattern of stripes, moirestone was quarried by the Killiks who were relocated to Woteba. The quarrying of moirestone was one of many activities that led to the appearance of the Fizz. (DN2)

Moiss, Ensil
This government official was known more for his ability to criticize the work of others than his own accomplishments. Moiss worked for the planetary government of Draenell's Point shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The Empire negotiated with him to acquire a large percentage of Draenell's Point's agricultural production in order to stock the Bissillirus Resupply Base. (GMK)

Moisture Boy
This slang term originated on the planet Tatooine, where it was used to describe any wide-eyed youth who lacked the common sense and smarts to exist in the "big city." It also referred to any being who did not know their way around one of the planet's remote settlements. While common in the cities of Tatooine, the term was rarely used among the farmers and settlers of the planet, who considered it an insult. (GG7, OWS)

Moisture Eater
This was the simple name used by the Great Heep to describe the device it installed on the planet Biitu, to remove large quantites of moisture from the planet's atmosphere. This allowed the Great Heep to exist comfortably on the planet, as most members of the Abominor race preferred arid climates. However, the resulting loss of rainwater left the farmers of Biitu to deal with a planet-wide drought, and plunged them even deeper into slavery to the Great Heep. Sometime before the Battle of Yavin, the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO managed to destroy the moisture eater and liberate the water it had collected. The resulting flood shut down the Great Heep's furnaces, essentially killing the huge droid while the rainwaters gave life back to the farmers of Biitu. (NEGD)

Moisture Farmers of Tatooine #253
A loose union of moisture farmers who operated in the environs around Mos Eisley. (CCG7)

Moisture Farming
An occupation in which the farmer uses moisture vaporators to obtain the moisture needed to survive on desert worlds. (SW)

Moisture Vaporator
A device used on Tatooine to extract moisture from the surrounding atmosphere, these 5-meter-tall tubes condensed water vapor from the atmosphere and stored it in large, underground tanks. A properly-functioning vaporator could obtain enough water to support three beings for a single day. In order to protect this cache of water, vaporators were locked with a keycode. Because of the extremem environment in which most vaporators worked, they needed regular maintenance on a daily basis, in order to continue operating at optimal levels. (E4, SOT)

Moje
This obese Sephi worked as the chief assistant to Navi, Thustra's representative to the Galactic Senate, during the height of the Clone Wars. When Navi began working to unseat his uncle Alaric, Moje began spreading false rumors of plots by the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights to murder Alaric. With Alaric's death in a fight with Yoda, Navi returned to Coruscant to speak against the Jedi. Yoda, however, returned to Coruscant with Pix and Clutch to expose Navi's treachery. Although Navi was taken into custody, Moje managed to escape. (J5)

Mok
This Weequay pilot was part of the team of thugs that was hired by Haninum Tyk Rhinann to apprehend Nick Rostu, during the months following the end of the Clone Wars. Mok flew the Far Ranger for Drach Coven, but was arrested for crimes against the Mercantile Guild when they delivered Rostu to Rhinann. Under new Imperial law, both Mok and Coven were sentenced to immediate execution for their crimes. (CN1)

Mok, Dazen
This being was one of the many Jedi Knights who trained at the Almas Academy, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. However, Dazen Mok chose to leave the Jedi Order, after soul-searching revealed that he should spend the restof his life exploring the Cularin System and its unusual events. After leaving the Almas Academy, Dazen Mok spent many years investigating the loss of the Nub Saar floating city in orbit around Genarius. His investigations led him to the unusual theory that Nub Saar was destroyed by some manifestation of the Dark Side of the Force, which had originally been awakened to help Karae Nalvas build the floating fortress of Conkesta. When the fortress was destroyed, the dark force returned to Genarius' core. Years later, it awakened during the construction of Nub Saar, and destroyed the city in its anger. His theory met with stern opposition from a number of Cularin officials. (LFCW)

Mokk was seen in Tyrena, along with Faye Patrick, during a series of abductions that baffled the Corellia Security Force. This led CorSec officials to implicate the pair in the abductions, and a system-wide manhunt was started to locate them. (SGWAL)

Mokk IX
This world was used by the Empire as a labor camp location. (HCE)

Mokk, na bazdu
This Sullustan request, often heard at barbershops and salons, translated into Basic as "(I'd like my hair) Blocked, not tapered." (GPB)

Mokksi, Rysken
This was a noted Besalisk individual, prominent in the history of the planet Ojom. (UANT)

Mol
This was a common name given to Zabrak males. Like many Zabrak names, it related to survival characteristics, and meant "rainstorm". (GCG)

Molan, Wilst
This woman was a frequent patron of the Outlander Club, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. She was often seen dancing among the crowds, which led to the assumption that she was actually a hired dancer. Wilst often wore her hair on top of her head, in a coifure that gave her the appearance of a Gotal. Note that this character was also referred to as Naga Molana on the official Star Wars website. (OWS, SWI75, CHRN2)

Molana, Naga

Molator
This was the name given to the Vindicator-class Heavy Cruiser Savrip, after it was captured by the Alliance. (SOG)

Molator
This creature out of Alderaanian mythology as the powerful, enchanted protector of the kings and queens of yore. It was a spindly creature with long limbs and a cone-shaped head. Chewbacca's hologame table aboard the Millennium Falcon generated a molator as a playing piece. (CCG)

Molavar
This Outer Rim planet was a supply world during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Much of the planet was covered with desert, and it was the homeworld of a skeletal race of humanoid beings that were distinguished by their tentacle-covered heads. (T21, T23)

Moldguard
This chemical was developed for use in humid climates, to fight off the growth of mold in buildings. (SWJ14)

Moldisin
This female Reigat worked for the Alliance's Sandwind Team as a technician and medic. (SSR)

Moldy Crow
This dilapidated HWK-290 light freighter was captured by the Alliance and refitted aboard the New Hope. The ship was later assigned to Kyle Katarn, who renamed the ship simply Crow during the mission to infiltrate the Imperial labs on Danuta. It was originally built about ten years before the First Battle of Coruscant, and was owned for a while by Roark Garnet. After Garnet inherited the Dorion Discus, he used the Moldy Crow to pay off a debt to Grappa the Hutt. Dace Bonearm and IG-72 then stole the Moldy Crow from Grappa, before dumping it on Teth after capturing Winfrid Dagore. The ship then became the property of Palob Godalhi, who turned it over to the Alliance. Kyle used the ship for many years, until he discovered the Valley of the Jedi on Ruusan. The Moldy Crow was destroyed during the mission to defeat Jerec, and was eventually replaced by the Raven's Claw. The twenty-nine-foot long Moldy Crow was armed with a pair of front-mounted double laser cannons and a turret-mounted blaster cannon. (DF, SFE, WOTC)

Mole
This person fled the service of Darth Vader just prior to the Battle of Hoth. This angered Vader, who sent Boba Fett in pursuit of the Mole. The Mole had fled to Ota, hoping to hide from Imperial forces. There, the Mole encountered Han Solo and Chewbacca, and he saved the Wookiee from a snow snake attack. Fett discovered the Mole on Ota, and tried to capture him. The attempt was thwarted by the appearance of the Snogars, who captured them all. In a daring escape, the Mole used a huge magnetic generator to pin Fett against a wall while making his escape. This also allowed Solo and Chewie to escape. (CSWEA, EGC)

Mole Miner
This blunt-cone-shaped, two-man vehicle was built the by Slayn & Korpil company that manufactured the B-Wing. Each mole miner was equipped with plasma-jet drills used to bore through the outer layers of an asteroid to obtain the elements inside it. Lando Calrissian used them to mine ores on Nkllon. Each mole miner measured about 7 meters in length. (HTTE, HTSB)

Mole Miner
This was a repulsor-equipped vehicle designed and manufactured for the mining industry. These utilitarian vehicles were equipped with beam drills or laser borers, and could cut through rock quickly in order to expose the valuable ores beneath. (DOH)

Mole Serpent
This was a species of vicious, aggressive worm that was native to an unsettled world on the edge of the Kathol Sector. They fed primarily on the tirginni beast, and hunted by using their keen sense of feel to alert them to vibrations that indicating oncoming prey. These huge worms lived primarily underground, burrowing tunnels through dirt and soil which allowed them to reach various points on the surface. The mole serpent lurked below ground until it sensed the presence of prey, then swept out of its burrow to swallow its prey whole. The mole serpent moved through the ground by using a collection of large talons which studded its body, dragging itself forward through muscular contractions. The mouth of the mole serpent was formed from a fixed upper jaw and two lower mandibles, which were studded with huge fangs. (SOT)

Molecular Backtrack Sniffer
This scanning device was used to follow the chemical trail of an organism. Q9-X2 installed them on himself just before the Solo family arrived on Corellia. (AC)

Molecular Clamp
This device was part of the basic kit used by slicers and smugglers to bypass electrical systems. More reliable than a flow analyzer node, a molecular clamp could quickly determine the correct wires to slice into to allow the user to access a system, or bypass its security failsafes. (SWG2P)

Molecular Hooks
This was a method of attaching two objects, most often used with suits of protective armor. Two objects - such as a datapad and the suit itself - can be attached at the molecular level by turning on a small field generator that links specific areas together by twisting and turning certain molecules on tiny plates. The bond was not incredibly strong, but allows for quick storage and retrieval. (GG8)

Molecular Polish
This was a technique in which droid plating and other metallic surfaces could be scrubbed clean and polished to a mirror-like finish, without damaging the metal or the finish. (PH)

Molecular Shielding
Used on the Balmorran Viper Automadon, molecular shielding absorbs the energy from opponent's weapons and re-routes it into the Viper's own weapons system. (DE2)

Molecular Stiletto
This form of knife was similar to a lightsaber in that it could cut through almost anything. However, it was also incredibly delicate. It cannot be swung or thrust with much force, or the thin blade will break. Molecular stilettos work best when used with deliberation and care. (SOP)

Molecularly Agitated Cheese
This was a type of processed cheese product that was easy to spread. (OWS)

Molecularly-bonded Armor
This form of dense armor planting was created by bonding metals at the subatomic level. Texture-molding tractor fields held the metal in place while it was just barely surface-liquefied. The hot metal surface was then bombarded with charged particles that increased its bonding strength and resiliency. (CSA)

Moleese
This being was the director of the Out From The Shadows drug abuse outreach program, based in the Jrade District of Coruscant during the last years of the Old Republic. (HNN4)

Moleman
This was the name of an obscure race of beings, distinguished by their albino skin and their lack of eyes. (IWE2)

Molf
This was a heavy, red yarn that was used to make tassels and piping for clothing during the last years of the Old Republic. (VD3)

Moll
This tiny ball of searing rock was the innermost planet of the Rannon System. (WBC)

Moll, Demma
A middle-aged woman who owned a farm on Annoo during the early years of the New Order, she opposed the Fromm gang and led a band of freedom fighters in destroying the Trigon One weapons satellite. (DCAR)

Moll, Kea
A native of the planet Annoo, Kea was an accomplished starship and landspeeder pilot. She spent much of her childhood living on the farm her mother, Demma Moll, managed on Annoo. When she was seventeen, Kea made a run to Ingo, where she met R2-D2, C-3PO, and Thall Joben. She spent time on Ingo to help them fend off Sise Fromm, and agreed to help them win the Boonta Speeder Race with their racing speeder, the White Witch. On the way to Boonta, they were forced to stop over on Annoo to repair their ship. While there, Kea was reunited with her mother, and the group agreed to help Demma destroy the Trigon One. When they finally made it to Boonta, Kea and the boys found themselves beset not only by the Fromm gang, but also by Boba Fett. The Boonta Speeder Race was a series of near-crashed by Thall Joben, who fought off the bounty hunter and managed to win the race. The three friends were approached by Zebulon Dak, who offered them positions within his corporation. However, they were told that they could not bring the droids. The trio had decided to turn down Dak's offer, having come to appreciate the droids, but R2-D2 and C-3PO would not allow them to miss the opportunity. The droids jettisoned themselves in an escape pod, leaving the humans free to take the job. (DCAR)

Molleung Worm
This Yuuzhan Vong bio-creation resembled a huge annelid which could be used to serve a number of purposes. In space, they could be used as a living cofferdam. In the air, a molleung could discharge large cargoes from a transport ship to a ground installation. They were modified for use on yorik-trema landing craft, to deposit ground forces into enemy territory. A molleung worm could also be used to link underwater chambers. (BP, UFCD)

Mollo
One of Olag Greck's many aliases, he used it on Hosk Station, just before C-3PX returned to the station. (DRO)

Mollom
This subspecies of Killiks was noted for its burrowing abilities. This made the Mollom a valuable addition to the Great Swarm, as they could quickly dig out trenches and tunnels on the battlefield, during the Colony's conflict with the Chiss. The Mollom were also able to quarry rock and stone from the ground, and these skills were put to use creating boulders for use in primitive catapaults. (DN3)

Mollusk Knowledge Bank
see Calamarian Knowledge Bank (DA)

Molly's Merchants
This collection of electronic forgers, slicers, and infochants was based on Cloud City at the time when Bespin Motors decided to split from Incom Industries. The executives of Bespin Motors contacted the Merchants and paid them to adulterate Corporate Sector records to funnel credits into Bespin Motors' accounts. Then, Bespin Motors used the funds to buy their independence from Incom. (GG2)

Molo
This hardy shrub was native to the caves and overhangs of the rocky deserts of the planet Tatooine. Resembling little more than scrub during the day, the molo shrub erupted with a burst of leaves and flowers when the suns went down and plunged the planet into darkness. (E4VG)

Moloch
This Shi'ido male was married to a member of the Arranda family, and was the brother of Mammon Hoole. (OWS)

Molou, Taug
This Yuuzhan Vong Shaper was plced in charge of the program which used Rodians as slaves. Instead of simply implanting the Rodian slaves with yorik coral nodes, Taug Molou developed a new race of slaves known as the Vagh Rodiek. (GMR8)

Molpol Circus
This was another name for Molpo's Traveling Circus. (MF)

Molpol's Traveling Circus
This traveling circus was popular during the years that followed the Alliance-Confederation War. The circus was not very large, but it was quite profitable for the owners. During the era of the New Order, the Molpol Circus had been in business for over one hundred years, providing patrons with all sorts of comical sketches, lampooning of celebrities, and any number of thrilling shows and events. The owners or the circus considered the show to be the antithesis of vicious shows like the Circus Horrificus, and used their animals to display their raw power and grace, rather than pitting them against each other in deadly combat. In order to move the creatures and cast members of the circus, the owners obtained a decommissioned C-9979 landing ship and had the interior refitted with living quarters and cages. The annual show had a specific theme, but the script was changed on each world where the circus stopped, drawing from the local culture and history to add special touches to each segment. (MF)

Moltok
This planet was the homeworld of the Ho'Din, located in the Dartibek System. Despite the fact that it was one of the system's inner-most planets, Moltok was an oxygen-rich world of violent volcanic eruptions. It was speculated the the ash thrown up by these volcanoes keeps the solar radiation from reaching the planet's surface. The stable landmasses support lush rain forests, although the planet had steep axial tilt that makes the polar icecaps extremely cold for most of the year. (GG4)

Mol-welding
This was a welding technique that was often employed when connected the deck plates of starships. It involved specialized equipment to alter metallic plates at the molecular level, interlocking the plates by interconnecting molecules to form a weld of superior strength and durability. (OF)

Molys-u kwend cratta zu?
This Snivvian phrase, used in the world of art and antiquities, translated into Basic as "What were you on when you created this?" (HNN5)

Molytex
Developed some twenty years after the Battle of Endor, this material was used to create blast-proof vests and armor. It was later combined with quantum fiber to create laminanium armor. (SBS)

Moma
This term from the Bocce langauge translated into Basic as "meal". (GPB)

Momansi Belt
This interstellar location was the site of an Imperial ambush on an Alliance supply convoy, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. The Alliance team managed to escape with minimal losses, thanks to the heroic efforts of Nera Dantels. (SWRSV)

Momaw
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 "moonlight". (GCG)

Mombay m'bwa
This phrase from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "That is mine." (GPB)

Momen, Reija
This matronly woman, a native of the planet Alderaan, was the chief administrator of the Intergalatic Communications Center on Praesitlyn during the height of the Clone Wars. She had been in charge of the facility for seven years, and considered its staff to be her only family. In fact, they lovingly called her "Momma Momen." She had just five years left on her tour of duty at Praesitlyn before she could return home when the planet was blockaded and attacked by Separatist forces led by Pors Tonith. She had been in contact with General Khamar of the Grand Army of the Republic, who had laid out the defensive plans for protecting the communications center, but they were cut off when the Separatists began jamming all communications. Rather than panicking, Momen drew her support staff together and prepared to destroy the facility, should it fall into enemy hands. Her preparations were not enough, however, and they were quickly captured by Tonith's forces and held hostage. She hated the fact that Tonith was a Muun, since her own father had lost his farm because he couldn't make a loan payment after a series of bad harvests. Tonith took her as his primary hostage, and forced her to record a message to the Republic and its forces on Praesitlyn. Momen agreed, but rather than begging the Republic to abandon Praesitlyn so her staff would not be killed, she ordered the military to attack the Separatists. Her staff had agreed to do what was necessary to keep the center out of the Separatists' hands, and although Momen was beaten for her insolence, she remained strong. Her fortitude paid off for the Republic and her staff, especially when Anakin Skywalker launched a crazy mission to rescue them. Unfortunately, just after Anakin liberated them from the facility's command center, Reija was shot in the chest by a battle droid. The droid would have shot Anakin, as well, but its weapon locked up from poor maintenance. Anakin destroyed it, then used his anger at Reija's useless death to complete the mission. (JT)

Momma Reseros' Diner
This diner, known for its greasy but tasty food, was located in Jugsmuk Station, on the planet Gamorr. It was owned by Reseros Meh. (SWJ14)

Momo
This word from the Huttese language translated loosely into Basic as "please", although there was no direct expression of asking for permission in the Huttese tongue. This term was used when asking for something, and was considered to be interchangeable with the word kolka. (GPB)

Mompmash
This was a common male name among the Gamorrean people. Like most Gamorrean names, it was essentially gibberish that indicated what a Gamorrean would do if you made him angry. (GCG)

Momship
This was the name used by the Squibs to describe their reclamation ships. (SH)

Momu
This Yrashu trial was administered to any being which desired to become part of an individual tribe. The Momu activities went on "for as long as it took," since the Yrashu would not define the exact nature of the requirements for joining a given tribe. Once a being had completed the Momu, they were rewarded with a deep sense of comradie with the Yrashu trive, although they were forbidden to discuss the experience with anyone else. (SWJ2)

Momwar
Ladira indicated that this being would know the whereabouts of Centa Sonhan. (WOA5)

Mon, Ephant
This Chevin was known for his mercenary skills. He specialized in gun running, and would sell his wares to just about anyone. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Ephant Mon was involved with two intertwined but equally illegal operations for Jabba the Hutt: the import of high technology to Cerea, and the export of malium from the planet. In the business with Bron, Ephant Mon befriended Maj-Odo-Nomor and his techrat friends in order to gain a measure of popular support while remaining behind the scenes. However, the plan was thwarted by the appearance of Ki-Adi-Mundi, who was searching for his own daughter, Sylvn, as well as Maj. Ephant Mon was forced to transport them to Tatooine, but was stowed away on a cargo ship that contained divvik pupae. The pupae hatched, forcing them to hide in an escape pod. The divviks damaged much of the ship's control systems in their rage to find flesh, and left the escape pod's ejection systems disabled. Mon used the presence of Sylvn to lure Ki to their rescue. When the situation turned against him, Ephant Mon jettisoned the escape pod and returned to Jabba's palace with Sylvn and Twin in chains. They tried to diffuse the situation by leaving the two girls at the mercy of one of Tatooine's awesome ion storms. The plan was to distract Ki while they covered their tracks. Ki managed to rescue the girls, but Mon and Jabba the Hutt managed to evade capture. He worked with Jabba several years later, running weapons on one of Glakka's moons. One of Jabba's men had turned them into the Imperial authorities, and Mon and Jabba were forced to fight their way out. They were able to escape, but had to brave chill weather during the night. Jabba wrapped his then-thinner body around Mon, keeping him warm until the night passed and they could get off-world. Since then, Ephant Mon had remained loyal to Jabba for saving his life, and eventually became the chief of security at Jabba's Tatooine palace. Ephant had many offers of employment from Lady Valarian while on Tatooine, but he kept strongly to his loyalties to Jabba. When Luke Skywalker entered Jabba's palace, Ephant Mon was drawn to the young Jedi. Luke appealed to Mon to warn Jabba about his imminent demise, and Mon discovered that he had been following something similar to the Force his entire life. He pleaded with Jabba. but to no avail. Jabba then accused Mon of plotting against him, and spurned the Chevin. Jabba left for the Pit of Carkoon without Mon at his side. The novelization of Return of the Jedi had Ephant Mon in a battle with Ree-Yees aboard Jabba's Sail Barge while Jabba was taking Luke and Han to the Great Pit of Carkoon. Ephant Mon was getting beaten very badly, much to Jabba's pleasure. It was believed that Ephant Mon was killed aboard Jabba's sail barge when it exploded. Mon, upon hearing of Jabba's death, returned to Vinsoth to contemplate the Force and run a few profitable scams on the side. (E6, GG5, TJP, PTR, SWI65)

Mon, Phylus
This Chevin criminal was hired by Rufus Trammel to serve as his boss on Genarius, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Many minor underworld criminals feared that Mon would move in and begin a new branch of his slave trade in the Cularin System. They were worried that this would cut into the profits of Nirama's own slaving organization, and set off a war between the largest criminal organizations in the Cularin System. (LFCW)

Mon, Sol
This huge, heavily-muscled man was a pirate who worked for Grappa the Hutt, during the early years of the New Republic. Mon dark skin and dreadlocks made him an unmistakable figure. Sol Mon and his forces were dispatched by Grappa to intercept Captain Forma and recover the cargo he carried. (CE2)

Mon Adapyne
This Mon Calamari cruiser was one of the new warships produced for the New Republic during the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong. It was one of the first ships to carry a Jedi Knight as part of its crew. The Anx Jedi Madurrin served aboard the ship, participating in the Jedi Force-meld to help coordinate the ship's actions during battle. (DW)

Mon Bala
This searing ball of molten rock was the innermost planet of the Ryloth System. (GORW)

Mon Cal
This was a shortened name used by many beings to describe the Mon Calamari race. This name was considered preferable to simply calling them Cals, as many beings did during the era of the New Order. (OWS, DU)

Mon Cal Defenses
This Mon Calamari corporation produced a variety of weapons and defensive systems for use in the greater galaxy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GFT)

Mon Calamari
This was another name for the Calamarian language. (SWG2P)

Mon Calamari
This bipedal, amphibious race shared their homeworld - known as Calamari or Mon Calamari - with the Quarren. Many xenobiologists believed that the Mon Calamari were descended from squid, but evolved a more humanoid appearance than the Quarren. The males were distinguished by their salmon-colored skin, lobed heads, and protruding eyes that were protected by nictitating membranes. The females were more streamlined, with olive-colored markings on their salmon skin. The Mon Cal, as they were often called, were shore-dwellers who preferred to live near the water. Early Mon Cal civlizations fed on the creatures they found in the shallows, and developed an advanced aquaculture system. When they discovered the Quarren - the other intelligent race on Calamari, who lived in the ocean deeps - the two races combined to create a symbiotic society in which both races flourished. Together, they built the huge floating cities that populated Calamari's oceans.

As a species, the Mon Calamari were born as tadpoles who lived exclusively in the water. As they grew up, they developed lungs and began breathing air. The lungs of the average Mon Calamari were quite strong, and an individual could remain underwater on a single breath. It was said that the nostrils of a Mon Calamari provided an insight into their emotions, and that any time an individual closed them tightly it was a sign of surprise. The eyes of a Mon Calamari often provided an insight into their physical state, with shiny eyes indicating a healthy individual, while dull eyes indicated fatigue.

Unlike the Quarren, however, the Mon Calamari desired to travel to the stars, and began experimenting with space flight. Their first starships were quite successful, but their dreams of a peaceful life in space was cut short. As with most other alien races, the Mon Calamari were simply exploring the galaxy when they were discovered by the Empire. They were quickly put on Palpatine's list of races to subjugate. However, the Mon Calamari were one of the few races that put up a fight in the face of certain doom. The normally-peaceful Mon Calamari learned quickly from the tactics of the Imperial invaders, and were able to drive them off. This solidified the Mon Calamari psyche, and they decided to join the Alliance and overthrow Palpatine's New Order.

After serving the Alliance at the Battle of Endor, the Mon Calamari continued to be persecuted by the remnants of the Empire. Calamari was the first place the reborn Palpatine took his World Devastators, and the planet was later attacked by Admiral Natasi Daala, in an attempt to show her superiority. The Mon Calamari, along with Quarren and the New Republic, managed to drive back all attempt to take the planet, and later welcomed the government-in-exile of the Galactic Alliance, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The Mon Calamari were openly critical of the Alliance in the years that followed the death of Darth Caedus, especially after Natasi Daala was named the leader of the government. Decades later, in the years following the Battle of Caamas, the Mon Calamari found themselves under the rulership of the Quarren, who allied their homeworld with the New Sith Order of Darth Krayt. The planetary shipyards began producing warships for the Imperial navy that supported Darth Krayt's forces, and the Mon Calamari were placed under a cloud of suspicion. After Gial Gahan helped a Galactic Alliance strike force capture the Star Destroyer Imperious from the shipyards, Darth Krayt ordered that one-tenth of the Mon Calamari population be executed immediately. The survivors, and any other Mon Calamari in the galaxy, were either imprisoned or hunted down and killed, and the Mon Calamari population was swiftly decimated. (E6, DE1, DA, COTF, SWSB, GG4, GOF8, NEGA, LF5, LF8, SWLW, MF)

Mon Calamari
This was another name for the planet Calamari, originally used by the Old Republic and adopted by the Mon Calamari Council after it joined the Alliance. The Quarren of the planet resented this change in names, and continued to use the name Dac amongst themselves. (JASB, GORW)

Mon Calamari Ballet
This was one of the most prestigious aquatic dance troupes of the last years of the Old Republic. Their production of Squid Lake was attended by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine himself, following the First Battle of Coruscant. (IS3)

Mon Calamari Blink Code
This coded communication system was developed by the Mon Calamari. It consisted of a series of flashes of light which, when combined in certain patterns, denoted the letters of the Basic alphabet. The flashes of light could then be strung together to form messages. It was regarded as a simple, crude form of cipher. (AC)

Mon Calamari Communications Control
This was the primary communication center created by the New Republic, recently renamed the Galactic Alliance, on the planet Calamari during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Calamari became the provisional capital of the galaxy after the fall of Coruscant, and much of the government's operations were re-established there. (FH3)

Mon Calamari Council
This body of Old Republic loyalists was installed as the leaders of the planet Calamari, during the height of the Clone Wars. With the defeat of the Quarren Isolation League, the planet Calamari found itself without a centralized government. Tensions continued to seethe, so the Mon Calamari Council was formed to help restore order. Representatives from the Quarren and Mon Calamari races served on the Council, hoping to show the planet's inhabitants that there would be no favoritism in the decisions of the Council. Note that Star Wars Insider, issue 73 indicates that the Mon Calamari Council had been in existence for decades before the Clone Wars, but was rife with corruption. During the early stages of the New Order, the Council approved a measure which opened up the planet to the rest of the galaxy. When the Empire tried to subjugate Calamari, the Council agreed to defend their homeworld with as much force as possible. This ultimately drove the Empire off Calamari, and the Council began considering whether or not to ally itself with the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Initially, it was feared that the native Quarren would resent being allied with a predominantly human organization. Mon Calamari industry, however, began providing warships to the Alliance. In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, the Mon Calamari Council formally agreed to join the Alliance. (SWDB, SWI73, GORW)

Mon Calamari Defense Force
Formed in the aftermath of the Galactic Civil War, the Mon Calamari Defense Force was created to ensure homeworld security on the planet Calamari. Made up of equal numbers of Quarren and Mon Calamari, the Defense Force developed its own navy to help protect the planet from further Imperial aggression. (SWDB)

Mon Calamari Extreme
This was the Galactic Alliance's codename for a location just beyond the edges of the Calamari star system, to be used by incoming reconnaissance craft who were monitoring the advance of the Yuuzhan Vong warfleet sent to destroy the Alliance's forces during the final stages of the alien invasion of the galaxy. It was here that the Twin Suns, Vanguard, Scimitar, and Rogue Squadrons were to meet and face the advance portion of the Yuuzhan Vong warfleet sent to destroy the Alliance's forces during the final stages of the alien invasion of the galaxy. (UF)

Mon Calamari Inglenook
Located in an annex of the Imperial Palace on Coruscant, this building was designed to look and feel like a coral reef. An enclosed pool and clear-walled rooms help keep in humidity, making it the perfect place for Mon Calamari and other aquatic races to relax, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (CCW)

Mon Calamari Knights
This band of Mon Calamari was known as the sworn protectors of their homeworld for many generations, a fact which rankled many Quarren. During the earliest history of their civilization, the Mon Calamari Knights were the primary force which kept the Quarren insurrectionists at bay, thereby maintaining the uneasy truce between the two races. As the civil strife between Quarren and Mon Calamari diminished, so did the necessity for the Mon Calamari Knights, which had become simply a cultural tradition by the time of the Battle of Naboo. However, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, the Mon Calamari Knights saw the possibility of war and began to train in earnest, fearing that the war might come to their world. These fears proved altogether too real when the Clone Wars broken out and the Quarren Isolation League sided with the Separatists. With the help of Jedi Master Kit Fisto, the Mon Calamari Knights managed to defeat the Quarren and restore peace to Calamari. (SWDB, CWC1)

Mon Calamari Light Cruiser
This was the name given to a smaller series of Mon Calamari starships that contained all the Mon Calamari grace and functionality. Most light cruisers measured 500 meters in length, and were equipped with redundant systems, much like their larger cousins. (TIE)

Mon Calamari Nerveshock
This disease affected the Mon Calamari species, and was always fatal. It could remain dormant for years, virtually undetectable, as the Mon Calamari individual aged. When the disease finally became active, it was too late to save the victim. Rapid degeneration of the nervous system was the primary result of the virus, which eventually left the Mon Calamari unable to survive. For these reasons, all Mon Calamari children were immunized against it. (TTSB)

Mon Calamari Sea
This was a term used by many beings to describe the world-spanning ocean that covered the planet Mon Calamari. (DE1, OWS)

Mon Calamari Shipyards
This massive collection of orbital shipyards was constructed over the planet Mon Calamari by the native Quarren and Mon Calamari peoples. The shipyards were known for the quality and durability of the starships that were produced there. Although most starships produced at the Mon Calamari Shipyards shared a common design, no two vessels were exactly alike, as the Mon Calamari designers took their cues from nature. Each vessel had an organic shape, and these vessels were often equipped with doubly-redundant systems to prevent problems. During the era of the Galactic Civil War, the Mon Calamari decided to ally the shipyards with the Alliance to Restore the Republic, after Imperial forces attacked their homeworld and enslaved part of their population. The alliance between the shipyards and the Alliance continued after the formation of the New Republic and, after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Galactic Alliance. However, during the years following up to the Sith-Imperial War, the Quarren assumed control of the planetary government, and allied the shipyards with the new regime instituted by Darth Krayt. (SWLI, SWLL)

Mon Calamari Space
This was the term used to describe those worlds inhabited by the Mon Calamari race, and included the planets of Calamari, Ruisto, and Mantan. (GORW)

Mon Calamari Star Defender
The largest starship ever produced by the Mon Calamari, the Star Defender was created for use by the New Republic Navy some twenty years after the Battle of Endor. Nearly twice a long as a standard Mon Cal cruiser, the Star Defender was also the largest ship bult for the New Republic fleet. Over time, this vessel became known as the Viscount-class Star Defender. (VP, SSOG)

Mon Calamarian
This was another name for the Calamarian language. (WOTC)

Mon Calamarian Jellyfish
This jellyfish was native to the planet Calamari. (FH1)

Mon Casima
This New Republic Mon Calamari cruiser was dispatched to assist the Allegiance in defending the world of Adumar from Imperial assault, shortly after the Adumari agreed to join the Republic. (SOA)

Mon Delindo
This Mon Calamari MC80 war cruiser was part of the fleet assigned to Han Solo and the Mon Remonda during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. It was part of the group dispatched to Comkin Five, and was able to track the Iron Fist until it jumped into hyperspace as soon as the Reprisal was destroyed. (SOC)

Mon Duul
This immense creature was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong as a kind of organic speaker. Weighing more than four metric tons each, mon duuls were implanted with speciallized villips which had been created to receive transmissions from a master villip. Them using immense tympanic membranes stretched over their bellies, the mon duuls would broadcast the communications from the villip. This allowed a single Yuuzhan Vong to address a huge gathering of his comrades. (DW)

Mon Eron
This planet was the fifth world in the Calamari System. During the final stages of the New Republic's conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, Mon Eron served as the primary reversion point for warships returning to Calamari from battle arenas. The planet had been terraformed in order to make it possible to live on its surface. Mon Eron was orbited by a pair of moons. (UF, GORW)

Mon Gazza
This world was known for its production of minerals and ores, as well as a healthy spice-mining industry. During the last decades of the Old Republic, Mon Gazza was second only to Kessel in its annual production of spice. Although the planet had been overrun with gangsters and spice-pushers, Mon Gazza nonetheless boasted a healthy economy in an otherwise industrial wasteland. Podracing was introduced along the streets and mining roads as a way to entertain the workers, and grew into an industry all its own. Racers were forced to travel along mining roads, avoiding machinery before flying through abandoned mineshafts and around broken equipment. By the time of the Clone Wars, however, the spice mines began to dry up, and Mon Gazza because a refueling depot. (RAC, CWCC)

Mon Gazza Maze
This was another name for the Mon Gazza Speedway, after it was reconfigured during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The Mon Gazza Maze was named for the course's many twists and turns, some of which led to dead ends, while others led to extreme obstacles like the Splinter Pass and the Doom Pipes. (CWCC)

Mon Gazza Speedway
This was the name of the pro-circuit podrace course which wound through the mining districts of Mon Gazza, during the final decades of the Old Republic. The course had several optional branches that could be added or deleted to make the course harder or easier. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, the Mon Gazza Speedway was reconfigured, and it was renamed the Mon Gazza Maze. (RAC, CWCC)

Mon Karren
This Mon Calamari MC80 cruiser was smaller than the Mon Remonda, but served as part of the fleet commanded by Han Solo and dispatched to hunt down Warlord Zsinj. (SOC)

Mon Mothma
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer was part of a New Republic fleet which was commandeered by Garm Bel Iblis to assist in the defense of the Jedi base on Eclipse, some two years after the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy. The Mon Mothma accompanied the Elegos A'Kla to Talfaglio, against the wishes of the New Republic military, to ensure that the Jedi Knights escaped without mishap. It was later learned that Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya himself authorized the use of the Star Destroyers, legitimizing their appearance in rescuing the Jedi. Both ships were able to transport thousands of Talfaglion refugees away from the Yuuzhan Vong, in addition to defending Eclipse against discovery. The Mon Mothma was one of the first Star Destroyers equipped with a new form of gravity-well projector, but even that weaponry was no match for the sheer numbers of the Yuuzhan Vong. During the Second Battle of Coruscant, the Mon Mothma fought valiantly, but was unable to stem the tide of alien attackers. The Mon Mothma retreated to Borleias, and assisted in the retaking of the planet by Wedge Antilles and his Inner Circle. Once at Borleias, the Mon Mothma and her crew again fought well, driving back wave after wave of Yuuzhan Vong attackers until the Starlancer project could be launched. Then, the ship was hidden at the edge of the Pyria System during the evacuation of Borleias. When the battle had turned enough to allow escape, the Mon Mothma jumped back to Borleias and pounded the Yuuzhan Vong worldship until the refitted Lusankya could be brought to bear on the Yuuzhan Vong. Later, the Mon Mothma served as the flagship of General Wedge Antilles' fleet, which set out to pound the Yuuzhan Vong at Duro. Once again, the Mon Mothma took heavy damage, but it was all part of a plan which drew Yuuzhan Vong ships into the Duro System, where they coud be trapped using gravity-well projectors. The plan nearly failed when Commander Yurf Col broke ranks, but the rest of the ships completed their mission. With the formulation of Operation Trinity, the Mon Mothma was repaired and sent back into action, this time at Bilbringi. With the loss of the Holonet, General Antilles' task force was cut off without reinforcements. She took a heavy pounding, and several other ships in the fleet were destroyed. In order to stay in the fight, Antilles ordered the ship's shielding to be dminished, making it appear as if the Mon Mothmas's main reactors were about to explode. The ruse worked, as the Yuuzhan Vong pulled back to escape the ship's blast radius. The Mon Mothma then limped back to Mon Calamari for repairs. Years later, the Mon Mothma was paired with the Admiral Ackbar in a blockade of the Utegetu Nebula, in an effort to prevent the Killiks of the Dark Nest from escaping into the galaxy. When the Gorog launched their escape, the Mon Mothma took the brunt of the fire, and was badly damaged. Admiral Bwua'tu was forced to call for a retreat, but the fleet was saved when the Gorog ship was finally disabled. Unfortunately, the Admiral Ackbar was captured by the crew of UnuThul's frigate, and four of the Colony's nest ships escaped with the Star Destroyer in tow. The crew of the Mon Mothma then had to split time between rescuing lifepods from her sister ship and keeping the rest of the nest ships contained within the nebula. Once Admiral Bwua'tu was aboard, he ordered the Mon Mothma to open fire on the remaining nest ships, hoping to eliminate as much of the Colony as he could. (SBS, EL1, EL2, FP, UF, DN2)

Mon Mothma Memorial Medical Center
This hospital was constructed on the planet Coruscant, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. Named in honor of Mon Mothma, the medical center was located between the Jedi Temple and the Senate Building. (FJ1)

Mon Remonda
An MC80b Mon Calamari Star Cruiser delivered to the New Republic following the Battle of Endor. It was placed under the command of Han Solo, and was used to battle the warlord Zsinj. Solo and the ship's Captain, a Mon Calamari named Onoma, pursued Zsinj across the edges of the Warlord's holdings, hoping to catch him unaware. Instead, they often led be Zsinj to a world he wanted for himself, but didn't want to expend resources to take. When the Mon Remonda pummeled certain facilities, it left them vulnerable to Zsinj's takeover. It was later destroyed in battle with the World Devastator Silencer-7 when the reincarnated Emperor Palpatine started his campaign against the New Republic. All hands were lost, but not before the Mon Remonda took out an Imperial-class Star Destroyer. (CPL, DE1, EGV, IF)

Mon Tondievz City
This settlement, found on the planet Krann, was the corporate headquarters of Mon Tondievz, Limited. It was situated not far from the corporate nova crystal mines, and with striking distance of the Tagge camp on the planet. (TSK)

Mon Tondievz, Limited
This company was headquartered on the straneg planet of Krann, and was a staunch supporter of the New Republic. They were well-known for their ability to supply the Republic with precious nova crystals, gemstones which serve as the basis for much of the Republic's hard currency. (TSK)

Mon Torri
This snow-covered planet was located between Ord Mantell and Tatooine. It had seven distinct rings surrounding it, each ring a different color and physical composition. The planet itself was a mountainous world covered in snow and icy glaciers. (SL)

Mon Valle
A New Republic bulk cruiser modified for assault on the Blackmoon installation. It was destroyed in the assault. (XWN)

Monab
This name, which meant "hard-working", was common among Gungan males. (GCG)

Monad
This was the name given to a series of bottom-of-the-line surveillance drones manufactured by Carbanti United Electronics during the last decades of the Old Republic. These drones were little more than a camera unit and a microphone connected to a limited artificial-intelligence module. This allowed the monad to be placed in almost any location. (YDR)

Monad
This was the name given to any huge, self-contained living structure. Popularized on the cityworld of Coruscant, a monad contained all the essential entities of a full community, providing its inhabitants with a complete living experience. A being who was living in a monad had access to all the conveniences located within the monad, and never had to leave the building, if they so desired. In addition to residential and business facilities, monads also contained hydroponics gardens and parks. (DMSH, CN1)

Monadin System
This largely uninhabited star system was located near Kuat, and served as one of the two main staging for cargo-bearing traffic which was inbound to the Kuat Freight Port. (PSPG)

Monarc C-4
This was the designation of a Class 1 Nubian hyperdrive system produced during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. It saw prominent use in the Naboo N-1 starfighter. (X1, NEGV)

Monarch
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer was under the command of Captain Averen, and was part of the Empire's home fleet guarding Coruscant. When the New Republic tried to retake the world, the Monarch and the Triumph were the only two ships remaining to guard it. It was assumed that Ysanne Isard took the other Star Destroyers with her along with the Lusankya. (WG)

Monarchomechs
This group of anti-governmental fanatics rose to prominence on the eastern edge of the Expansion Region, some 400 years before the formation of the Galactic Empire. Made up almost exclusively of cyborgs, the Monarchomechs opposed the tyrannical rulership of their home systems, and trained themselves to assassinate the monarchs who controlled them. The name Monarchomech was taken from the Middle Yutanese language, and did not apply to their semi-mechanical nature. Instead, it was a play on the words that translated into Basic as "killers of monarchs". Each member of the Monarchomechs retained very little of their original body, being little more than a brain that was contained in a droid body. (CN3)

Monastery
Darth Vader once used the help of Tagge House to try and capture Luke Skywalker on this planet, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The natives of the planet were all part of a huge religion known as the Order of the Sacred Circle, which referred to the great circle of life. The members of the Order believed that the rings which surrounded the planet were the embodiment of the circle of life. The rings of Monastery were not simply made up of dust and debris, but scores of moon-sized rocks. Vader had allied himself with Domina Tagge, who tried to pit Vader against Skywalker in an effort to eliminate the two individuals who had shamed her family. Unfortunately, the only death from their duel was that the Orman Tagge, Domina's older brother. (SWDB, HNN5, MC35, MC37)

Monchar, Hath
This Neimoidian once served as Nute Gunray's deputy viceroy, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. Monchar was placed in charge of the Federation's own plans to capture the lommite mines of the planet Dorvalla, but was unable to gain access to the mines of either Lommite Limited or InterGalactic Ores. He fled the relative safety of the Saak'ak shortly before the blockade of Naboo, hoping to make his own fortune by selling the information about the blockade - and the fact that it was being perpetrated by Darth Sidious - to the highest bidder on Coruscant. Hath tried to sell the information to the Black Sun vigo Darnada, while trying to avoid being caught, but Sidious dispatched Darth Maul to locate and eliminate Monchar. Simultaneously, Rune Haako retained the services of Mawhi Lihnn in an effort to locate Mochar before the Sith could. Monchar nearly succeeded in selling the information to Lorn Pavan, but Maul was able to reach him first. The Sith Lord interrogated Monchar before beheading him. (DM, DMS, DMSH)

Mondaran
A New Republic assault shuttle used in the attempt to take the planet Borleias, the Mondaran was the first ship shot down by Evir Derricote's defenses. (XWN)

Mondder
This city was the manufacturing center of the planet Etti IV, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN5)

Mondegrene
This ancient, classical musical artist composed many pieces of orchestral grandeur. (POT)

Mondeo Modernist Design Movement
This design craze swept through the Core Worlds more than 100 years before the Galactic Civil War, and emphasized the use of streamlined contours, elliptical forms, and whimsical embellishments. The movement caused changes in art, architecture, and clothing for several decades before finally being shelved in favor of the next new ideas. (NEGD)

Mondo-Mod
This Hutt was noted for the extravagant gladiator fights he staged, during the final decades of the Old Republic. During the Clone Wars, he was approached by Jedi Master Luminara Unduli, who wished to purchase information about secret Separatist weapons factory. Mondo-Mod agreed to turn over the information, but only if Master Unduli defeated his three strongest gladiators in the Arena of Doom. Master Unduli agreed, and defeated a wampa ice creature and a durkii without the aid of her lightsaber or the Force, as per her agreement with Mondo-Mod. For the final fight, Mondo-Mod sent in his gladiator droid, Evil Supreme, believing that the massive combat droid would win.

However, Master Unduli used a small stone as a projectile, flinging the stone into Evil Supreme's faceplate. The stone penetrated the faceplate and smashed through the droid's primary circuits, rendering it inoperable. This forced Mondo-Mod to turn over information about the weapons factory on Diorda. Unknown to Mondo-Mod was the fact that Master Luminara's former Padawan, Barriss Offee, was placing bets on the three fights. She bet against her Master on the first two fights, then bet for her in the finale. In this way, Offee was able to break the bank at the Arena of Doom, putting Mondo-Mod out of business until he could recover his lost wealth. (CWA8)

Mondrak
This exotic-looking, humanoid alien was the Sith magician who served as the Gatekeeper to the Sith Holocron owned by Krova the Hutt. She claimed to be the "Judge of the Jedi," but was unable to break Krova's mind. (GMR5)

Mondress Sector
This galactic sector, located in the Outer Rim, was situated between the Kokash and Albanin sectors of the galaxy. It was briefly scouted by the Outbound Flight project, as one of the final stopover points before Outbound Flight was to have entered the Unknown Regions. (OF)

Mone
This Iskalonian male was the first to make contact with Lando Calrissian, when the Alliance dispatched the Millennium Falcon to locate Tay Vanis, shortly before the Battle of Endor. Like most Iskalonians, Mone was a cheerful individual who couldn't resist commenting on the frailties of living out of the water. His father Primor, the ruler of the Iskalonians, considered Mone to be an irresponsible pleasure-seeker. When Lando formed a mission to travel to Gamandar to locate Tay Vanis, Mone volunteered to accompany them. He believed that his knowledge of the planet would be beneficial, and his wife, Kendle, agreed. Unknown to them all, however, was that Kendle had already alerted Admiral Tower of their mission, so they were captured almost as quickly as they arrived on Gamandar. Thanks to the tireless and daring work of R2-D2, they managed to escape from Gamandar and return to Iskalon, only to find that the city of Pavillion, and a great many Iskalonians, had been destroyed by a tidal wave. Among the dead were his father, Primor, and his wife, Kendle. Mone took it upon himself to assume leadership of the Iskalonians, taking on the role of The First to Swim in an effort to bring them together to rebuild their lives. He also forbade the Alliance from returning to Iskalon, for fear of another Imperial reprisal, and shut Iskalon's doors to offworlders. (MC74, MC75, MC76, GMR1)

Monevv, Tar
This Yuuzhan Vong warrior was part of the first wave of military forces that invaded the known galaxy, some twenty-five years after the Battle of Yavin. A skilled warrior, Monevv was devotely loyal to Yun-Yammka, the Slayer, and secretly vowed to become Warmaster one day. He was easily distingiushed by the blood-red armor plate that was grafted onto his body. His joints were protected by small groupings of spikes, with only the crown of his head uncovered. (UA)

Money Lane
This was the term used by many star pilots to describe an unmarked area within the sights of a ship's laser cannon. Depending on the configuration of a starship and its weapons emplacements, the exact position of the Money Lane changed from vessel to vessel. However, it was commonly known that hitting targets within the Money Lane was often more difficult than more wide-open shots. During their early smuggling careers, Han Solo and Chewbacca had agreed that the Money Lane aboard the Millennium Falcon was the area of overlap around the edge of the ship's saucer, where both quad-laser cannons could fire. (HSR)

Moneyland
This was an unofficial name given to the planet Muunilinst. (RF1)

Moneylend
This was an unofficial name given to the planet Muunilinst. (SOP, SWMW)

Mong, Tila
This aged, female Kel Dor served as the Mistress of the Baran Do Sages, some three years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. When Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, arrived on Dorin to investigate Jacen Solo's presence on the planet nine years earlier, Tila Mong agreed to meet with them and discuss those events. She could only related things from a third-person perspective, however, since Jacen had actually been trained by Koro Ziil. (FJ1)

Monga
This serpent was easily distinguished by its three forked, orange tongues. (BF6)

Mongo Beefhead
This unusual creature, distinguished by its red skin and flat, tentacled head, was often raised for its tasty flesh. The meat of a Mongo Beefhead was popular during the final years of the Old Republic, when it was the primary ingredient in the slider sandwiches that were produced at Dex's Diner, on Coruscant. (OWS)

Mongoh Mezzanine
This walkway was located in the Yaam Sector of Galactic City, on the planet Coruscant. The walkway moved through an open-air market that seemed to be open for business at all hours, and raucous shop owners loudly announced their wares to any being who passed with earshot. (CN1)

Mongorrt
This Chev served as the chief of security at the Metellos Exchange, some 3,963 years before the Battle of Yavin. (KOR11)

Mongrel
This was a slang term used by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe the non-clone humans who were given leadership roles in the GAR, during the era of the Clone Wars. These individuals were different than the Jedi Knights who served as Generals and unit leaders. Mongrels were usually those humans who were placed in direct command of a group of clones, where the Jedi usually worked with clone commanders who then directed their troops. (RCTC, CWNOP)

Mong'tar Cantina and Brasserie
This restaurant was located in Mong'tar City, on Boog V, during the height of the Clone Wars. The clone commandos Mereel and Ordo met with Gib and TK-0 in this restaurant, during their search for Ko Sai. (RCTC)

Monitor
This Nebulon-B frigate was the lead ship in an Imperial resupply convoy bound for the Imperial-II class Star Destroyer Corrupter, when the convoy was ambushed by the Alliance. All suuplies were stolen, as the Alliance tried to force the Corrupter out of battle by starving it of supplies. (XWA)

Monitor
This New Republic training carrier was the test facility for the K-Wing bomber, during the years that followed the Battle of Endor. (BTS)

Monitor III
This Republic Cruiser was dispatched by the Old Republic to put an end to the Iridium Pirate band which raided Republic grain and supply convoys near the planet Vuchelle, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The task force was led by the Jedi Knights Belsed-Qan Idan and Kit Fisto, and the Monitor III carried with it a small fleet of starfighters. The Iridium Pirates wielded a power gem, using its power to cause heavy damage to the Monitor III and her crew. Four Republic judiciaries and two Jedi Knights, Dovish Hokken and Yrada Soludisan, were killed in the explosions. The Jedi starfighter pilots, flying in Aethersprite-class fighters, managed to overwhelm the Iridium Pirates before the Monitor III had to be abandoned. (HNN4)

Monjai
This female Elomin served as the planetary governor of Kal'Shebbol, in the wake of the departure of Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne, some four years after the Battle of Endor. (DARK)

Monkey-lizard

Monn, Voolvif
This Shistavanen Wolfman was one of the few members of his species to join the Jedi Order, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Discovered by Jedi Master Paouoish Rahhdool, Voolvif Monn had been orphaned on an unknown planet near the Arah asteroid belt. His skills as a tracker and his ability to harness the energy of the Force for defense made him a formidable opponent. He managed to survive the Battle of Geonosis, and was elevated to the rank of Jedi Master shortly afterward. He then took command of a group of clone troopers during the Clone Wars. (SWDB)

Monnok
This Soccorran predator was known for its ability to maintain the hunt over the planet's ash-covered deserts. Many Soccorran hunters admire and respect the monnok's abilities, and Soccorran smugglers consider it good luck to see a monnok before beginning a voyage. The monnok was a tall, semi-sentient humanods with yellowish skin, and they have developed a rudimentary use of tools. Chewbacca had a holographic monnok on his holochess board aboard the Millennium Falcon. (CCG2, BSS)

Monnon, Kem
This Major in the Alliance was in charge of the Corps of Engineers. He held the responsibility of establishing Echo Base on Hoth in the years following the Battle of Yavin. (ISU)

Monoc
A derogatory term used to describe the Abyssin race. (CCG)

Mono-cord Whip
This vicious weapon was created from unbreakable, serrated fiber straps. These whips were capable of cutting through some plastics, let alone fabric and flesh. They were used on many backwater worlds by the law enforcement agencies, to keep rabble-rousers in line. (SWJ9)

Monocrystal Chaining
This was a structural technique that uses a single, precision engineered element to form a panel or beam. The resulting wall or support was quite strong, but thin enough to conduct sounds from adjoining rooms. Monocrystal-chained walls were used primarily in casinos. (MA)

Monofilament Screen Guard
Manufactured by Novaplex, this device was used to protect an entrance or walkway from unwanted intrusion. Once activated, the screen guard extended a series of needle-sharp monofilament strands vertically upward for two meters. These strands had a high tensile strength, and literally shredded clothing and flesh which passed through them. The use of these screen guards was outlawed in many star systems, because they were extremely dangerous. (GFT)

Monolens
This was a specialized vision-assistance system, which was worn over one eye. It enhanced the ability of the eye to see, thereby bringing it up to the visual acuity of the other other. A monolens could also be given special upgrades, providing further enhancement of the vision in the affected eye. (SWJ10, OWS)

Monomolecular Blade
This form of knife was formed from a length of high-strength, single-inline-molecule material. They were incredibly sharp, but also incredibly fragile. (TFE)

Monor
This was the innermost planet in the Monor System, located in Doldur Sector. (SWJ6)

Monor II
This Outer Rim world was located in the Monor System, which was part of the Doldur Sector. It was the homeworld of the Sunesi race, which have evolved with the ability to breathe Monor's otherwise deadly atmosphere. From space, Monor II appears to be a huge pearl with a changing nacreous coating. The pearlescence was due to the thick layer of cirrifog that fills the atmosphere. Cirrifog was toxic to most humanoids. The planet was originally discovered by Eujustus Kline, who was an explorer working for the Solgg Chemical Company. Thus, the planet was often referred to as Kline Colony. The average day on the planet lasted 28 standard hours, and its year lasted 378 local days. Nom Anor later revealed that he had infected Mara Jade Skywalker with coomb spores on this planet, during the ascension of Agapos the Tenth. (SWJ10, BP)

Monosaccharide Ribbon
This was one of the most prestigious awards given out at the Tri-System Sugary Mass Bake-Off event, which was held annually during the final decades of the Old Republic. (OWS)

Monotheer, Edallia
This woman was Gara Petothel's mother. She was born on Coruscant, and trained to be an actress. She caught the eye of Armand Isard, who trained her to be an Intelligence agent. She eventually married Dalls Petothel, but both of them were arrested for supposedly funneling secret Imperial information to rebel forces on the planet Chandrila. New Republic analysis of her files indicated she had never had any contact with the Alliance. An old man mistakenly thought Lara Notsil was Edallia, during a Wraith Squadron visit to the Galactic Museum, which tipped off Garik Loran to Lara's true identity. The old man had been one of Edallia's former teachers. (SOC)

Monra
This was the Snivvian word for "sculpture." (HNN5)

Monsail
An alien creature native to the planet Trinta, the monsail was a predatory fish with a horizontally flattened body, a large dorsal fin, and a narrow tail. They were often seen hunting alone, but sometimes hunted in small groups. The flesh of a monsail was edible. They were named for their large dorsal fin, which often breaks the surface of the water before the fish attacks its prey. (DOE)

Mon'Shallock Terrorists
Very little was known about this band of terrorists, who were active during the era of the Galactic Civil War. (SWGAL)

Monsoon Mesa
This tableland, located on the planet Jabiim, was the rallying point for the Army of the Republic's forces, during the Battle of Jabiim. The battle, one of the longest engagements of the Clone Wars, dragged on for more than forty days before the Separatist forces led by Alto Stratus managed to defeat much of the Republic's forces. The Republic planned to retreat to Monsoon Mesa and await a rescue operation from Coruscant, a retreat which was led by Anakin Skywalker. (RBJ)

Monster Raving Anarchist Party
This was the made-up name of a fictional political activist party, invoked by Kyp Durron during a discussion among the Jedi Masters of the galaxy, in the wake of the arrest of Chief of State Cal Omas. Omas had been accused by Jacen Solo of undermining the security of the Galactic Alliance, and Admiral Cha Niathal had been appointed acting Chief of State in the wake of the arrest. Jacen had remained publically neutral about the change in power, but the new Jedi Order knew that he would not remain on the sidelines for long. The gathered Jedi Masters were debating whether or not they were going to sit back and let the new government use them as a tool, or if they were going to choose an independent role and act on their own volition. Master Durron argued that, if the Jedi chose to remain independent, then they had no more right that the Monster Raving Anarchist Party to try and overthrow the acting Chief of State. (LF5)

Monster Ugly
This was perhaps the best-known of the so-called "ugly droids" that were created by the Jawas of Tatooine. The Monster Ugly combined all known forms of ugly droid into a single unit that stood over three meters in height. The Monster Ugly moved about on four heavy wheels, but could deploy a pair of tank treads if the conditions required them. Several gripper arms were mounted at the base, while four leg apparatus were mounted at the top, allowing the Monster Ugly to "walk on its hands" if necessary. An astromech dome and a dedicated radar unit gave the Monster Ugly the ability to handle almost any job. (NEGD)

Monsua Nebula
This area of interstellar gases was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy, on the border between the Inner Zuma region and Wild Space. In addition to dense gases and clouds of dust and debris, the Monsua Nebula was filled with young blue giant stars and brown dwarfs. Because the nebula emitted large amounts of radiation and was difficult to navigate, much of it remained unexplored even during the early years of the New Republic. Many of the stars located within it remained designated by the alphanumeric identifiers used by the Old Republic, more than a thousand years earlier. The Monsua Nebula was infamously known for the amount of pirate activity which occurred in its vicinity, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (GMR9, HNN4)

Monsul, Jeevan
This underworld figure was common in the cantinas of Bestine, on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Monsul was a supporter of the Imperial presence on the planet, and often did odd jobs for the Empire. (SWGAL)

Monsurra
This Wookiee artisan was the tailor of the Myyydril tribe, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He was afflicted by the Poltur Virus shortly after helping Yraka Nes discovered that a blanket made from webweaver webs was an effective way to combat the virus. (SWGAL)

Montacca
This likable Wookiee was an ex-mercenary with an unusually strong fascination with technology, even for a Wookiee. He was a free Wookiee who roamed the galaxy during the reign of Emperor Palpatine, although he avoided Imperial forces whenever possible. He was a passenger on the Kuari Princess when it was hijacked by the Riders of the Maelstrom. (RM)

Montagne, Elise
This woman and her husband lived on the planet Dantooine some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. When her husband died, Elise was left with his droid, C8-42. She latched onto the droid with great emotion, since the droid represented all that she had left of her husband. C8-42, however, believed that the attachment was doing emotional harm to Elise, and tried to run away. At the Jedi enclave, C8-42 begged to be destroyed, so that Elise could be freed. When she arrived a the enclave, Elise was distraught to learn that C8-42 had been dismantled. She ran into the enclave in tears, where she met Samnt. They formed an immediate bond, and Elise left the enclave with him. (KOTOR)

Montalvo, Dama
This young man was a Padawan learner, training to be a Jedi Knight during the early years of the Clone Wars under the tutelage of Master Vookto. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Montalvo was one of the few Jedi who escaped the first wave of killings during the Jedi Purge, but was captured just a few weeks lated on Coruscant. He was brutally tortured by Darth Vader, who demanded information on the whereabouts of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Montalvo refused to reveal anything to Vader, prompting the Sith Lord to snap his neck in frustration. (OWS, SWP)

Montellian Serat
An ancient Devaronian city dating back before the Devaronians had space travel, Montellian Serat served as the planetary capital of Devaron. It was believed that some sections of the city were as old as the lower levels of the citscape that covered the planet Coruscant.

After the formation of the Galactic Empire, the Devaronian supporters of the Alliance used the city as a stronghold, until they were routed by the Devaronian Army. The army was under the control of Kardue'sai'Malloc, and he gave the order to execute over 700 Devaronians, after cornering them in the city. This act earned him the nickname "The Butcher of Montellian Serat." (TME, WOTC)

Month of Plenty
This Weequay holy season honored the moon god Quay. Temples on the planet Sriluur which were dedicated to Quay had an open skylight in their roof which allowed Weequay priests to track the moon's progress during this month. (SSR)

Montitian
This race of humans was native to the planet Montitia. (GMR8, GORW)

Montitian Extraction
This was the name given to the evacuation of the natives of Montitia, during the final stages of the Extorin Minor Skirmishes. Thanks to the efforts of the Jedi Knight Charza Kwinn, the Montitians were evacuated before the Extorin warriors could capture or kill them. (GMR8)

Montrol City
This urban area was the capital of the planet Gandle Ott. (DARK)

Montrosa Islands
This long chain of islands was found in the midst of the Montrosa Ocean, on the planet Reytha. These small islands were the only land formations which were not given over to farming and agriculture, being too small and too remote for major development. (GB)

Montrosa Ocean
This was the largest ocean found on the planet Reytha. It was so vast that much of the planet's climate was affected by its pleasant temperature. (GB)

Montross
This bounty hunter, active during the last decades of the Old Republic, was known as a cunning adversary who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Whereas most criminals would reconsider the "I'm worth more to you alive" plea of their captives, Montross would shoot the being and reply "You're worth enough dead." He was a former member of the Mandalorian Shocktroopers, and was one of the few to survive the coup d'etat of Vizsla and the Death Watch on Concord Dawn. However, Montross feared that Jaster Mereel's leadership of the Mandalorians had become clouded by emotion, especially in what Montross saw a fatherly love for Jango. Montross' beliefs were further supported when Jaster Mereel ordered a retreat during a mission to Korda 6, when it was obvious that the Mandalorian forces had been ambushed. Montross felt that they could have taken the Death Watch, and blamed Jaster for the destruction of their forces on Korda 6. Montross and Jaster were then confronted by Vizsla, who accused Jaster of "taking" the Mandalorians from him. Rather than helping Jaster, Montross simply fled the scene, allowing Vizsla to shoot and kill Mereel. He then gathered the reamining Mandalorians and prepared to leave the planet. He believed Jango Fett to be dead, but Jango showed up with Jaster's dead body. When Montross demanded that he be given command of the Mandalorians, Jango and many other soldiers refused to allow it. By Mandalorian laws, their leader should be elected, not self-appointed. Montross fled Korda 6 when none of the survivors would support his bid for power. Montross was defeated in combat by Jango Fett, shortly before the Clone Wars, when both bounty hunters were offered the chance to locate Komari Vosa by Darth Tyranus. For most of the hunt, Montross was actually ahead of Jango, and beat him to Groff Haug and Sebolto's death stick factory on Malastare. Montross nearly eliminated Jango on Malastare, but Jango managed to destroy Montross' skiff and strand him on the planet. (ZW, GMR10, JFOS, BH)

Montwin
This was the name of a street, found in the city of Tacto, on the planet Radnor. (JQ1)

Monument
This huge Corellian barge was part of a fleet which transported workers to and from the planet Bandomeer. Scarred from years of usage, the ship nonetheless continued to make regular runs to the planet. It was aboard the Monument that Obi-Wan Kenobi and Si Treemba discovered early signs of Offworld Mining Company's sabotage against Arcona Mineral Harvest Corporation. The ship was then attacked by pirates and torn apart in the fighting. (RF)

Monument Park
This protected mall, located in Imperial City on Coruscant, was one of the few places that someone could actually touch the naked earth on the planet. A small religious group made its home in the park, keeping visitors from chipping away small souvenirs of Coruscant. The park was located within the Manarai Mountains, and the rocky outcropping was believed to have been the peak of the mountain known as Umate. This small piece of stone was later known as KnobHead, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. (ISU, HNN5, CCW, LF9)

Monument Plaza
This was the name of the wide thoroughfare that surrounded Monument Park, located on the planet Coruscant. During the Yuuzhan Vong War, the entire plaza was reformed when the alien invaders assumed control of the planet, and much of the plaza was covered with yorik coral growth. In the years that followed the war, the Reconstruction Authority made it a priority to restore Monument Plaza to its former glory. It took three years to chip away the yorik coral, and five years to recreate the statuary and architecture that had once adorned the plaza. However, shortly after the Second Battle of Fondor, the Reconstruction Authority declared that the Monument Plaza project was completed. (HNN5, NEGD, LF9)

Monumenters
This group of small-time criminals was active on the planet Corellia during the height of the New Order. (GQRG)

Moobian Torsion Valve
This was a piece of outdated technology. (T5)

Moocha
This was the Huttese verb for "to steal." (GMR5)

Moocher
This race of small, sentient creatures inhabited the spaceport cities of the planet Abregado-Rae. Resembling large, fur-covered lizards, they roamed the spaceports looking for handouts from visitors to the planet. Many beings on the planet considered the Moochers to be nuisances, primarily because there were so many of them. Moochers lived in dens of several thousand individuals, all birthed by the same queen. This queen was incredibly intelligent, much smarter than any of her offspring. Those Moochers who disappointed the queen were expelled, and often formed their own dens. It was these wild Moochers who were most often encountered near the spaceports. (EGP, CCW)

Mood and Moons
This musical number was played by Umjing Baab and his Swinging Trio aboard the Queen of Empire when Bria Tharen posed as Bria Lavval in order to return to Nar Shaddaa. (RD)

This small creature was native to the planet Dathomir. It was one of the favored prey of the rancor, but the swift-moving moog was difficult to catch. (DN1)

Moog Mot VI
This banking planet was under Imperial control, during the era of the New Order. According to popular stories, the personnel at the Moog Mot VI garrison was not known for their intelligence, as the soldiers and officers supposedly allowed Han Solo and Billal Batross to enter the garrison with fake Imperila uniforms. These uniforms apparently had rank identifiers that had been painted on by Billal. (HMK)

Moojpuck
This was an Ansionian swear word, often used by the Gwurran. (APS)

This species of small, carnivorous creature was native to the planet Belsavis. (COJ)

Moola, Romi
This Twi'lek female fled Jabba the Hutt's fortress shortly after the Battle of Naboo, when her attempt to poison the crimelord failed. She had Jabba's chuba stew laced with poison, but the stew was taste-tested by Jabba's chef before it reached the Hutt. When the chef died, Jabba discovered the treachery, forcing Romi to flee Jabba's fortress. Jabba then issued a bounty on her head, hoping to "question" her about the attempt. She fled to Gardulla the Hutt, but was later captured by Jango Fett. Fett had been trying to gain an audience with Gardulla to question her about the Bando Gora, and captured Romi in Gardulla's fortress. (BH)

Moolie
This man was one of the many thugs who worked for the Gotal criminal known as Lumbra, during the months that followed the Clone Wars. When Lumbra's gang crashed onto a remote moon, they discovered the wrecked starship of a group of Jedi who were hiding from the Empire. Moolie discovered that the Jedi ship had a working drive system, and began working to steal to replace the one that Lumbra's ship had lost. When Master Chase Piru tried to resist, the thugs shot her and left her for dead, then took the children and headed back to their ship. They made camp that evening, and were surprised when Jedi Master K'Kruhk attacked their camp. K'Kruhk lanuched an arrow from a hidden location, and Master Piru used the Force to direct the arrow's path. Her first victim was Moolie, who took an arrow through the back of his neck, killing him almost instantly. (DT2)

Moomaw
This was a specialized form of computer software enhancement, used to minimize pathlengths and increase the overall speed of a computer program. The galaxy saw rapid improvements in the efficiency and capability of moomaws during the early years of the New Republic. (GPB)

Moomo, Del
This inept Ithorian and his partner, Dob, were known to the criminal underworld of the Outer Rim as the Moomo Brothers. The pair were brothers who had been at each others' throats almost since birth. As younglings, they each tried to cycle the other out of an airlock, but their attempts happened at the same time. Both brothers were nearly killed, but they were revived by medics. The event left both brothers with mental scars that they carried with them for the rest of their lives. Del bristled at Dob's insinuation that their mother had asked Dob to watch over Del, and prevent him from hurting himself. Del countered by claiming that he was their mother's favorite, and the future of the Moomo family. The pair often came to blows over their accusations and petty jibes, which only added to their ineptitude.

They were hired by Raana Tey and sent to Telerath to watch over the banking representative known as Arvan Carrick, during the final years of the Mandalorian War. Tey hired them with the thought of flushing out Zayne Carrick, in case he tried to travel to Telerath in order to meet with Arvan, who was actually Zayne's father. Instead, they kidnapped Arvan and ran off with him, after they were attacked by Chantique Margryph, who was actually Zayne's friend, Jarael.

When Dob went out for a drink, Del remained with their ship and their captive, unaware that Dob was approached by Marn Hierogryph and offered a chance to claim the bounty on Zayne Carrick for himself. The brothers were eventually convinced by Hierogryph to rescue Zayne and his friends from the Arkanian Legacy, and arrived just in time to get them away from the damaged ship. Upon returning to Taris, the brothers lent their skills to the resistance that was growing against the Mandalorian invaders. Del stayed by Hierogryph's side during the search for Senator Goravvus, under orders from Jervo Thalien to either bring the Senator into custody or kill him, in exchange for a large bounty. He would have taken Goravvus, but Raana Tey tried to intervene. Thalien then tried to activate the bomb he had planted in Hierogryph's briefcase, but the weapon was been disabled.

After Senator Goravvus was able to survive the assault, Del agreed to start working with the local resistance, and provided his expertise with explosives to a mission to kill Cassus Fett. Although the mission was nearly a disaster, the Moomo Brothers managed to survive, and agreed to transport Jarael, Alek of Quelii, and Rohlan Dyre to Jebble to determine why Zayne and Marn left Taris aboard the Mar'eyce. The group rescued Zayne and Marn from the Mandalorians who were affected by the Rakghoul Plague, and then agreed to help Zayne transport Celeste Morne's body to Odryn. Within the Sanctum of the Exalted, the Moomo Brothers found themselves among a trove of Sith artifacts, any one of which might make them rich. They tried to sneak out with some of the artifacts, but were forced to return them by Zayne Carrick, who wanted to make sure that no evidence of their presence was left behind. Still, the Moomos refused to leave empty-handed, and snuck out several artifacts in the case they had used to carry Zayne and Marn into the Sanctum. Jarael discovered small cache, and was going to return them to Odryn, only to learn that Jedi Master Feln had destroyed the Sanctum of the Exalted. This meant that the few artifacts that the Moomos had stolen were the only surviving evidence of The Covenant's collection, prompting Zayne to exclaim that Del and Dob were the smartet Ithorians in the galaxy. (KOR3, KORH, KOR6, KOR7, KORV, KOR8)

Moomo, Dob
This Ithorian and his partner, Del, were known to the criminal underworld of the Outer Rim as the Moomo Brothers. The pair were brothers who had been at each others' throats almost since birth. As younglings, they each tried to cycle the other out of an airlock, but their attempts happened at the same time. Both brothers were nearly killed, but they were revived by medics. The event left both brothers with mental scars that they carried with them for the rest of their lives. Dob was the brains of their operation, and he often claimed that the only reason he kept Del around was because their mother had asked him to keep Del from hurting himself. Del rankled at this accusation, and the pair often came to blows over their jibes and their inability to agree on things. Dob also claimed to know the word "bludgeon" in seventeen languages, although none of the languages was identifiable.

They were hired by Raana Tey and sent to Telerath to observe the banking representative known as Arvan Carrick, during the final years of the Mandalorian Wars. Tey hired them in hopes of flushing out Zayne Carrick, should he travel to Telerath to meet with Arvan, who was actually Zayne's father. Instead, they kidnapped Arvan and ran off with him, after they were attacked by Chantique Margryph, who was actually Zayne's friend, Jarael.

Things got more complicated when Dob was confronted in a Telerath bar by Marn Hierogryph, who wanted to arrange a trade with the Ithorians. Marn offered to turn Zayne Carrick over to them, in exchange for Arvan. Dob was confused as to why Raana Tey, a Jedi Master, would offer a bounty for Zayne. When Marn explained that Zayne was actually a Dark Jedi, Dob began to understand, and saw that it might be to his advantage to take Marn's deal. The brothers were eventually convinced by Hierogryph to rescue Zayne and his friends from the Arkanian Legacy, and arrived just in time to get them away from the damaged ship. They returned to Taris with Zayne and the others, in an effort to locate Marn. The Moomo Brothers agreed to join Marn's underground resistance to the Mandalorians who invaded the planet, and were part of a strike team that tried to kill Cassus Fett. Although the mission was nearly a disaster, the Moomo Brothers managed to survive, and agreed to transport Jarael, Alek of Quelii, and Rohlan Dyre to Jebble to determine why Zayne and Marn left Taris aboard the Mar'eyce. The group rescued Zayne and Marn from the Mandalorians who were affected by the Rakghoul Plague, and then agreed to help Zayne transport Celeste Morne's body to Odryn. Within the Sanctum of the Exalted, the Moomo Brothers found themselves among a trove of Sith artifacts, any one of which might make them rich.

Jarael discovered small cache, and was going to return them to Odryn, only to learn that Jedi Master Feln had destroyed the Sanctum of the Exalted. This meant that the few artifacts that the Moomos had stolen were the only surviving evidence of The Covenant's collection, prompting Zayne to exclaim that Del and Dob were the smartet Ithorians in the galaxy. (KOR3, KORH, KOR6, KOR7, KORV, KOR8)

Moomo Brothers
These two Ithorians, Dob and his brother Del, were known in the Outer Rim Territories as muscle for hire and for their inept abilities, during the final years of the Mandalorian Wars. Although sometimes effective, even Valius Ying blackballed them from his organization for their inability to carry out a mission. Many within the underworld of the galaxy believed that most of their problems stemmed from an inability to bypass mind-numbing drugs and other illegal substances. The two brothers traveled the Outer Rim in their modified freighter, the Moomo Williwaw. (KOR3, KORH)

Moomo Williwaw
This ancient freighter was owned by Del and Dob Moomo, otherwise known as the Moomo Brothers, two small-time Ithorian criminals who worked the Outer Rim Territories during the final years of the Mandalorian Wars. The ship was a modified Orphanmaker assault gunship that had been produced by the Pelagia Duplex Command for Baron Karoll "The Mad" Cilarnus. Cilarnus had ordered a fleet of ships that had double the normal complement of weapons, and this vessel was the first prototype. It had been dubbed the Overkill by the designers, and no other Tapani Sector military force would purchase it, leading to the ship being sold to the Moomo Brothers.

Many spacers reported seeing the Moomo Williwaw spinning in space, with one brother in port cockpit and the other brother in the starboard cockpit, each trying to take control of the vessel from the other. Thus, when the Moomo Brothers agreed to help Jarael and Rohlan Dyre transport Zayne Carrick to Taris, following the destruction of the Arkanian Legacy, they turned the piloting duties over to Slyssk. After recovering Marn Hierogryph from Taris and later rescuing Zayne and Marn from the planet Jebble, the Moomo Brothers agreed to help carry Celeste Morne's body to Odryn. They then agreed to take Zayne Carrick to Coruscant, as the young man attempted to clear his name from the events of the Padawan Massacre. Unfortunately, Admiral Saul Karath had established a blockade around Coruscant, and the Moomo Williwaw took a heavy pounding before Zayne was able to escape in a smaller vessel. To cover Zayne's escape, Slyssk and Marn Hierogryph "obeyed" the orders of Lance Squadron, and crashlanded the Moomo Williwaw in one of the hangar bays aboard the Swiftsure. (KOR3, KORH, KORV, KOR9)

Moon Dash
Narek-Ag's transport shuttle, it exploded over Coruscant when it impacted the cloaked bulk of the Shadow Academy. The Academy was in position near Coruscant in an attempt to ambush incoming Republic supply ships, like the Adamant. (LO)

Moon Falls
This unusual waterfall was located on the Forest Moon of Endor. The falls themselves spread across a twenty-kilometer-wide ledge at one end of a large lake, and fell from such a height that most of the water that reached the ground was in the form of mist, rather than running water. What made the falls unusual was that, whenever their part of the moon faced away from Endor itself, the water stops flowing over the edge. Scientists were unsure of the exact mechanism, but it ws believed that the gravitational pull of Endor caused a massive "tide" to pull the lake water back away from the falls. (DN2)

Moon Festival
This gala was celebrated every 100 years on the planet Omman. (SWJ12)

Moon Fleet
This was the term used by UnuThul to describe the starfighter pilots and soldiers who were being bred and trained on the Shattered Moon near Tenupe, during the height of the Swarm War. The Moon Fleet was kept hidden during the Battle of Tenupe, in an effort to draw Chiss warships close enough that they would be unable fire back without damaging their own ships. The Chiss, however, had received information on the Moon Fleet already, and planned to turn the tables on the Colony by allowing themselves to be "defeated" by the Moon Fleet. The Chiss planned to deploy parasite bombs during the fighting, then flee Tenupe before the Killiks of the Colony realized that they were doomed. Although the Moon Fleet managed to attack the Chiss, the parasite bombs were destroyed by Leia Organa Solo and her Master, Saba Sebatyne, before they could deploy their deadly payloads. (DN3)

Moon Hat
This was the term used by Luke Skywalker to describe the Pawns who served Lord Shadowspawn. The nickname stemmed from the shaped of the Crown worn by each Pawn, which resembled a down-turning crescent moon. Shadowspawn later revealed to Luke that the Moon Hats were actually a form of Sith technology, and were connected to the wearer's head by a series of crystalline filaments. These filaments allowed Blackhole to see and hear what the Pawns, and Shadowspawn himself, were experiencing, as well as alloing Blackhole to control their actions. (LSSM)

Moon Lady
This was the name of the primary deity that was worshipped by the Askajian race. The name also came to describe the moon that orbited Askaj, as many Askajians saw the orbiting sphere as the embodiment of their deity. (NEGA)

Moon Lady
The name used by the Askajians to describe Askaj's primary moon. The Askajians hold the satellite in reverence, giving rise to the speculation that the Moon Lady was also one of the deities that the Askajians worshipped. (TJP, NEGA)

Moon Moth
A common flying insect with beautiful pale blue wings, the moon moth was a delicate creature about the size of a human thumbnail. (DS, MBS)

Moon Moth
This was a series of espionage droid designed by Arakyd Industries, and manufactured on Mechis III during the early years of the New Republic. Employing many of the technological and miniaturization advances of the Scarab Droid, the Moon Moth was almost indistinguishable from an organic moon moth. However, to a keen observer, the droid version had wings made of finely-machined metals painted to resemble a true moth. The abdomen of the droid was packed with enough explosives to destroy the Moon Moth, in case it was captured. This was a very small amount, though, since the Moon Moth was also very lightweight. It could mimic the flight patterns of an organic moth, and would land on its target and place a microdot homing beacon on it. (EGD)

Moon of Reaping
According to the traditional Tarasin calender, this lunar occurance marked the end of the year on Cularin. (LFCW)

Moon People
see Galacian (HP)

Moon Tree
This unusual form of tree was native to the Gunninga Gap region of the Unknown Regions, where it blossomed and thrived while growing in the airless space between the stars. (LSSM)

Moonbeam Throne
This was the name of the ceremonial throne used by Supreme Overlord Shimrra of the Yuuzhan Vong. Located within the immense craft known as the Citadel, the Moonbeam Throne was surrounded by a blood moat, and had an unusual dovin basal installed at its base. This dovin basal acted according to the will of Shimrra, allowing the Supreme Overlord to appear to control the actions of any individual who requested an audience. (UF)

Moondrake
This old YT-1300 was owned and operated by Sassan Sareeta. Built from the parts of three separate YT-1300 hulks, it was distinguished by the lack of a starboard cargo mandible, which had been replaced by a huge double laser cannon. Also notable to this ship, the cockpit was mounted in between the port mandible and the laser cannon. (SWJ8)

Mooney
This man was one of the many bounty hunters who tried to trap Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker in Death Canyon, during the height of the Clone Wars. (CWA10)

Moonface
This was the monicker given to one of Ludlo Lebauer's Jenet henchmen by Leia Organa Solo, during her visit to Pavo Prime to recover ten Alderaanian boasas from the casino administrator. The name referred to the shape of the Jenet's face. (SWI67)

Moonflower Nebula
Located in the Outer Rim Territories, this nebula was located near the K-749 System. This nebula was of little interest until Nichos Marr inadvertently generated its coordinates when he tried to access the Force with his artificial brain. Luke Skywalker took the random numbers and determined their exactness, and took the Huntbird to investigate the Nebula. (COJ)

Moonglow
This was the name of Lorcu Malshae's light freighter. It was destroyed by a bomb, after it was learned that Lorcu had planned to seel the coordinates of the Port Haven to Boba Fett. (PSPG)

Moonglow
This pear-like fruit comes from a single grove of trees in a certain forest on a small satellite world. It was a rare and exotic fruit, although it was more like a fungus. Its crisp, delicious flesh, however, was extremely poisonous in its raw form. A single slice contains enough poison to kill 1,000 beings within a minute, and there was no known antidote. There was a unique, ninety-seven step method of preparing the moonglow which removes the poison and makes it edible. A chef must spend at least two years learning the technique from a Master Chef before they can obtain a license to prepare it themselves. Restaurants which choose to serve moonglow must display their own license, which indicates to patrons that the chefs who work there have been trained in the preparation. All of this licensing and training was necessary because, if one step was omitted or performed in error, the entire process was forfeit, and the moonglow retains its toxicity. (SE)

Moonlight Cruise
This Mobquet Medium Cargo Hauler was once a legitimate transport ship, owned and operated by the Skydove Freight corporation, until Mika the Hutt had the ship refitted and renamed the Barabi Run. (TF)

Moonlight Crystal Lodge
This expensive vacation spot was located near the polar ice cap found on the planet Coruscant. It provided vacationers with access to a number of traditionally winter sports and activities, but they were available year-round. (CCW)

Moonraiser, Fawn
This moisture farmer lived with her family on Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Moonraiser, Kwin
This moisture farmer lived with his family on Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Moonraiser, Rale
This moisture farmer lived with his family on Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Moonrun
This being was one of the many independent spacers who lived and worked in the Cularin System during the final years of the Old Republic. Like many of his fellow pilots, Moonrun resented the fact that Cularin chose to secede from the rest of the galactic community when the New Order was established by Emperor Palpatine. In order to maintain its isolation, Cularin's military stepped up its patrols, and forced independent spacers to endure lengthy and rigorous security checks before landing. (LFCW)

Moonrunner, Artis
This woman was Lorn Moonrunner's wife, and Denel's mother. Like Lorn, she had her appearance altered when they fled from the Empire and settled on Rhamalai. She was terrified that, when the Empire subjugated the planet, they would be discovered. However, the family was able to make it to their hidden starship, the Refugee, and escape. (SWJ13)

Moonrunner, Denel
The son of Lorn Moonrunner, Denel grew up on Rhamalai on the outskirts of Argona. He was a fair pilot, having been trained by his father at the controls of their starship, the Refugee. When the Empire subjugated the planet, Denel was consrcripted into the service of the Civilian Service Personnel. He was soon rescued by Nadra Enasteri and her mother, Charis, but they became separated before they could reach the Moonrunner residence. Denel and his family managed to escape in the Refugee, but the Enasteri's were stranded on Rhamalai. (SWJ13)

Moonrunner, Lorn
This man was Denel Moonrunner's father, and was the head of the Fair Value Control Department of Rhamalai's Planetary Trade Directorate at the time of the Battle of Yavin. However, Moonrunner was not his true name. In reality, he was Corvus Langlier. Lorn was a fugitive from Imperial justice, who had his appearance altered and a false identity developed so that he could hide. He and his wife, Artis, settled on the planet Rhamalai and lived in peace with the Cherishites there, believing that the planet was far enough removed from the rest of the galaxy so as to avoid imperial notice. They hid their ship, the Refugee, in a remote valley, hoping against hope that they would never have to use it again. When the Empire finally subjugated Rhamalai, Lorn and Artis relied on their facial surgeries to keep them from being captured. However, their son, Denel, was conscripted into the Imperial armed forces before they could act. After Denel was rescued by Nadra Enasteri, the Moonrunners fled to the Refugee and managed to escape the planet. (SWJ13)

Moons of Iego, The
This was the common term used to describe the forty-two moons that orbited the planet Iego. They were often referred to as a single group, because it was believed that the moons were inhabited by angels. (RFDV)

Moons of Yavin, The
The report Ken was working on when he escaped from the Lost City of the Jedi for the first time. (LCJ)

Moonseeker, Talia
This young woman, once native to the planet Aargau, was promoted to Jedi Knighthood just four months before the Battle of Geonosis. She and her Master, Va'too, were both among the 200 Jedi who were dispatched to Geonosis, after Obi-Wan Kenobi was captured while investigating Jango Fett's movements.

Moonstone District
see Moonstone Lake District (LJ7)

Moonstone Lake
This was one of the seven lakes that were found within the city limits of Ussa, on the planet Bellassa. Moonstone Lake was the most distant of the lakes, and thus was the farthest from the Commons and the central government of Ussa. After the Empire took control of the planet, much of the planet's black market relocated to the Moonstone Lake District. Much of the district fell into disrepair, and it took on a grimy appearance that made most beings shy away from its streets. However, the continued growth of the black market was a constant thorn in the side of the Imperial forces on Bellassa, which seemed powerless to stop it. Members of the black market, and those who wanted to gain access to it, used a simple signal to identify themselves: they walked through the Moonstone Lake district holding a cup of tea in their left hand, but never actually drinking from it. (LJ1, LJ7)

Moonstone Lake District
This was the name given to the section of the city of Ussa that surrounded Moonstone Lake, on the planet Bellassa. Much of this district was filled with warehouses and the power plants that supplied energy to the city. (LJ7)

Moonstrike
This was the term used to describe the impact of a large asteroid on moon or other natural satellite. In larger moonstrikes, the impact of the asteroid could significantly alter the rotational axis and orbital path of the moon. This change in orbit resulted in noticeable, and sometimes severe, changes in seismic activity and tidal patterns on the planet around which the moon orbited. These changes then led to further changes in weather patterns. (LJ6)

Moonstrike
This was the name of one of the first cells of organized resistance to the rule of Emperor Palpatine. Moonstrike was founded shortly after the formation of the Galactic Empire by a wealthy native of Acherin known only as Flame. The original group was quite small, and Flame began traveling to other planets in an effort to recruit new members. Among the first places she stopped was Samaria, where she met Trever Flume and Ferus Olin. Ferus was wary about openly joining Moonstrike, fearing that it might expose any surviving members of the Jedi Order to Imperial attacks.

Flame held no such reservations, and continued to work toward gathering strength for Moonstrike's activities. She recognized that the Bellassan population had had some success in thwarting the Imperial occupation of their homeworld, so she and Trever set off to make contact with the Bellassan rebels. However, despite her effortds, Flame recognized that Moonstrike needed some official support, and began looking into ways to invite influentual Senators like Bail Organa and Mon Mothma into the group. Her initial attempts failed, primarily because the Senators didn't want to risk their homeworlds, hoping that official protests would be more effective. (LJ6, LJ7, LJ9)

Moonstruck Pass

Moor, Kasan
This woman was one of the best starfighter pilots the Empire recruited from the planet Alderaan. She was tops in her class, and moved quickly up the Imperial ranks until she was given the command of the 128th TIE Interceptor Squadron shortly before the Battle of Hoth. However, by this time, Kasan had begun questioning her loyalties. The destruction of Alderaan by the first Death Star was an emotional blow, for Kasan dearly loved her family and friends who died in the cataclysm. She felt that she could no longer serve a government that would wantonly destroy people for its own ambitions. When the 128th was sent to intercept Rogue Squadron on the planet Gerrard V, Kasan offered herself and her ship as a defector, and joined the Alliance. (RSG)

Moor 1
This modified CR90 corvette was part of a small Alliance task force that was assigned to investigate the construction of the NL-1 outpost in the Pakuuni System, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. The Moor 1 and her sister ship, the Moor 2, were discovered by Imperial gunboats that were patrolling the Pakuuni System, and the corvettes were later destroyed by the concentrated fire of the gunboats. The shuttle Shakker managed to rescue the command crews and tried to escape, but was later captured by the Imperial ships. (TIEP)

The shuttle Shakker managed to rescue the command crews and tried to escape, but was later captured by the Imperial ships. (TIEP)

Moore, Sly
This bald, female being was Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's staff aide, during the last years of the Old Republic. A native of the planet Umbara, Sly Moore was rumored to have engineered the removal of Sei Taria from public office, blackmailing the woman into retirement and thereby ensuring that she was named as Palpatine's aide. This was never proven, but that did not dispel other rumors about her possible hidden agenda. Her official duties included maintaining Palpatine's schedule and allowing audiences when his schedule permitted. In reality, Sly Moore worked behind the scenes to ensure that Palpatine's plans were carried out, often making anonymous calls to Senators and groups to play on their emotions and loyalties.

After the onset of the Clone Wars, Sly Moore was given a standing order from Chancellor Palpatine. No matter what his schedule, Palpatine could always be interrupted for a meeting with Anakin Skywalker. Sly Moore continued to serve as Palpatine's chief aide for many years, although she disappeared during the early years of the New Order. (SWI53, SWDB, JT, SOJ, CVD, SWI96)

Mooren
This man was one of the Ministers who formed the government of the planet Danoor, shortly after the Battle of Endor. He was a contemporary of Waric Nane. Like his fellow Ministers, Mooren believed that the Lance of Endor was, in truth, a New Republic ship sent to maraud the Kathol Outback. After hearing from Kaiya Adrimetrum and the crew of the FarStar, though, he began to see the truth. Unknown to Nane, Mooren was also a member of the resistance on Danoor, which rose up in opposition to the initial efforts of the Empire to take control of Kathol Sector. Mooren believed that he could gain the assistance of the FarStar's crew if he could convince them of the resistance's need. (KO)

Moorja
This small Inner Rim world was governed by Salliche Ag, and was used to mining and agriculture. As long as the colonies on the world paid their taxes and sent all its production Coreward, Salliche left it alone. The population cared little for the galaxy outside it, and continued its production of ores and foodstuffs without much change for many years. During the height of the Clone Wars, Moorja was one of the first planets liberated by the Separatists during Operation Durge's Lance. It was later one of the first Separatist worlds to be defended by organic troops, a necessity given that Moorja's ion storms wreaked havoc with the droid control systems used on other worlds. Among the forces deployed to Moorja were the Neimoidian Gunnery Battalions, Gossam Commandos, and the Koorivar Fusiliers. Production of foodstuffs continued during the Galactic Civil War and following the Battle of Endor. A small population of Arcona mined salt on Moorja, and an Ithorian contingent harvested specialty fruits and low-yield forest crops. The average day on this temperate world lasted 17 standard hours, and its year lasted 310 local days. (SWJ8, SWI76)

Moorja Badlands
This barren wasteland, found on the planet Moorja, was known for the unusual soil that covered its expanses. This soil was filled with photoreactive elements and electrostatic compounds that made it impossible for life to exist in the Badlands. The photoreactive properties caused the soil to shift in response to the orbit of Moorja's star, with the soil seeming to move in order to remain in the light. (CWOC2)

Moorjay
This was the capital city, and site of the primary spaceport, of the planet Moorja. (SWJ8)

Moorlu
Ths bounty hunter ambushed Boba Fett in a remote system during the hunt for Bornan Thul. He kept his pin-wheel-shaped starship hidden until Fett arrived, then attacked. Using a blast from his ion cannon, Moorlu disabled Slave IV and thought he had the infamous hunter dead in space. However, Fett activated a pneumatic launcher and shot a warhead at Moorlu's ship. The craft was destroyed, and Moorlu was killed in the explosion. (SHA)

Moorsh
This Yuuzhan Vong priest was stationed aboard the Creche' during the attack on Gyndine and the development of a new yammosk.

Moort
This was the name of one of the pilots in the Hawk-bat pirate fleet, the alias of Voort saBinring. The pirate alias was used only once, during the Hawk-bats' participation in Warlord Zsinj's attempt to steal the Razor's Kiss from Kuat Drive Yards. If and when Voort used it, it was a signal to Garik Loran and the rest of Wraith Squadron that he had "crashed" onto the surface of the Iron Fist. To anyone listening in, Morrt was dead. Voort, however, used a landing claw to lock onto the huge ship's armor plating and ride with it to wherever it fled to, after the New Republic intercepted Zsinj at Kuat. After Zsinj's short jump, with the Razor's Kiss slaved to the Iron Fist, the New Republic again pounded Zsinj's forces, destroying the Razor's Kiss and nearly taking the Iron Fist. (IF)

Morad'Ka
This female Tarasin was the Mother of the Jaraana irstat, during the final years of the Old Republic. Morad'Ka was the latest in the long line of Tarasin Mothers who had been protecting against the escape of the t'salak. Shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars, began to sense that the t'salak might have escaped, after CreedCon Construction began work on a bridge near the burial site of the ancient creater. Within a few days, she was approached by a human Jedi and asked to leave her tribe behind. When she refused, the Jedi stalked away in anger. A few days later, the homes of the Jaraana tribe were set ablaze after a series of explosions rocked the irstat. Many of the Jaraana were rescued by a group of freelance agents who had been hired by CreedCon to investigate the disappearance of a work crew, and Morad'Ka discovered that one member of the group could help her recapture the t'salak. To collect the creature, Morad'Ka created a duplicate of the original urn used to capture the t'salak centuries before. She then set out with a small group of Tarasin, along with the agents, in the hopes that she could stop the beast. Their mission was successful, and the t'salak was once again held by the Jaraana while a new prison was cocstructed. When Nek Lawsirk contacted Morad'Ka about researching the beast, she reluctantly agreed to the Jedi's request. However, when Lawsirk arrived, he stole the duplicate urn containing the t'salak and fled into the jungle. It was later learned that the visitor was not Nek Lawsirk, but was actually Raik Muun in disguise. (FOC1)

Morag
A powerful Tulgah which who lived on the forest moon of Endor, Morag's evil magic was a potent match for Logray's good magic. She lived in Mount Thunderstone, and her castle was patrolled by Yuzzums which ride rakazzaks. She once possessed the Shadowstone, and hoped to control the Ewoks with it. However, the shaman Logray managed to steal the Shadowstone and combines its power with that of the Sunstar. Logray defeated Morag in combat, and took possession of both stones. Morag vowed to exact revenge on Logray and the Ewoks, and retreated to her lair to plan her revenge. Some time before the Battle of Endor, Morag tried to enslave the Firefolk, but only managed to capture Queen Izrina. Morag hoped to use the Forefolk to set fire to the Soul Trees of the Ewoks, thereby conquering the Ewoks and eliminating the threat of Logray's magic. However, all her plans were thwarted by the efforts of Wicket, Teebo, and Paploo, who obtained Logray's magic foam and doused the Soul Trees before they could burn. Morag was defeated, and fled into the forest. (ECAR)

This large, yellow star was the dominant body in the Cularin System, supported by the white dwarf Termadus. Morasil was much older than Termadus, and many scientists have theorized that it was one of the first stars ever born in the galaxy. The corona of Morasil was quite large, and many of its gases were being drawn to Termadus's small gravity, creating a sort of cloud cover that sometimes hides Termadus from navigational computers. (LFC)

Morbo, Voralla
This strikingly beautiful woman was working on the planet Thyferra as a cantina owner, during the height of the New Order. She was also secretly the Alliance's primary contact on Thyferra at the time. Some years before the Battle of Yavin, she was an acquaintence of Han Solo, but broke off their relationship after two things happened. First, he was unable to deliver a shipment of Norvanian Grog. Second, he never asked her out on a date. Thus, when Solo showed up on Thyferra with Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa to investigate the bacta that was stored on the first Death Star, she was a bit taken aback. However, she told the Alliance team everything she knew about the Empire's involvement with the production of bacta. (MIS2)

The prison complex was infiltrated by New Republic agents who hoped to restore the Jedi to the galaxy. The planet was also in the midst of three warring star system, and Winslau had become wealthy playing all sides of the war. The war around Morcanth had been waged for centuries prior to the Galactic Civil War, and as technology increased, so did the slaughter. (GMS)

Morcur Valley
Located on the planet Garos IV, the Morcur Valley was first settled by Garosians. It grew to become the planet's primary agricultural and manufacturing site.

Mordon
A native of one of the Corellian systems, this Imperial Admiral was charged with overseeing the invasion of the Taroon System, sometime after the Battle of Yavin. He commanded the mission from his flagship Star Destroyer, the Vengeance, where he maintained a wonderful chamber in which he grew a variety of plant and flowers. Many of the plants in Mordon's collection were sensitive to changes in heat or light, and they followed the movement of sentients beings as if they were watching them. Indeed, many of the plants were poisonous, and would attack any unauthorized being who entered the sanctuary. The presence of the secret retreat, coupled with the fact that it was maintained by the ship's Admiral, served to unsettle many of Mordon's guests. Following the successful subjugation of the planets Kuan and Bodral, Mordon was shuttling up from the surface of Farboon when a group of Alliance starfighters intercepted the shuttle. A distress signal was sent out, but the only person who heard it was Maarek Stele, who was flying a newly-repaired TIE Interceptor on a shakedown flight. Stele did his best to drive off the Alliance ships, not realizing that he was rescuing his Admiral at the same time. Upon returning the the Vengeance, Mordon met with Stele and suggested that he join the Imperial Navy as a pilot. Mordon continued to watch over Stele as his career progressed, meeting with him often to talk about their histories and their experiences, and dispensing the wisdom he had gained during his own career. Mordon also urged Stele to obtain guidance from members of the Secret Order of the Empire, explaining that he would want to speak with them before certain missions. Unfortunately, in the weeks that followed, Admiral Mordon passed away, ostensibly of natural causes. He was succeeded as commander of the Vengeance by Admiral Coross. However, in an encrypted message he had left behind for Stele, Mordon revealed that he had been investigating some form of treachery within the Imperial ranks. He also revealed that he had put plans in motion to have Stele transferred off the Vengeance, to keep him safe from trouble. Stele later learned, from a member of the Secret Order of the Empire, that Mordon had actually been murdered by Admiral Harkov, in an attempt to keep Harkov's own treacherous activities a secret. (TSC, TIEP)

This ancient order of Kajain'sa'Nikto warriors was nearly extinct by the time of the Battle of Geonosis, and very little was known of them at the time. The Morgukai existed in the farthest reaches of the Endless Wastes, and experts in survival and battle. The members of the Morgukai were always male Nikto, and fathers often trained their sons in a style that resembled the Master-Padawan relationship of the Jedi Knights. The Morgukai cared little for the aspects of good and evil, but relied on their own code of honor to guide their actions. During the era of the Clone Wars, it was believed that there but a handful of surviving Morgukai, led by Tsyr and Bok. Unknown to the Old Republic, Bok had been cloned by Separatist forces on Saleucami, as part of Count Dooku's program to create the so-called Shadow Army. Although many clones of Bok were produced, most were killed during the siege of Saleucami. By the time Chancellor Palpatine had installed himself as Emperor, any surviving Morgukai were outlawed as religious fantics. (ROP, WOTC, RSOS)

Morichro
This was one of the most dangerous Force techniques known to the Jedi Masters of the Old Republic. It was an art that was forbidden to all but a handful of Masters, because it was used to rapidly slow the body functions of other beings, resulting in a quick death. It was a controlled art, as its usage bordered on the Dark Side of the Force. It could also be used by a being on themselves, creating a form of suspended animation that was more effective that a Force-induced trance. This use of Morichro allowed the user to survive without food, water, and even air for a up to a month, with a pre-defined duration or stimulus for awakening. The last Jedi Master to use the technique was Master Yaddle, during the final years of the Old Republic, but the Jedi Council forbade its practice after her death. (SWDB, GMR5, WOTC, EGF)

It was here that Imperial Admiral Pellaeon had hoped to meet with Garm Bel Iblis to begin the negotiation of a peace treaty between the remnants of the Empire and the Republic. Pellaeon's invitation never got to Bel Iblis, having been intercepted by Moff Disra's agents, and Pellaeon himself was attacked near the planet by some of Disra's ships. The ships had been camouflaged to resemble Corellian Defense Force ships, but Pellaeon recognized them for what they were. (SOP)

Morjakar
This rogue planetoid occupied the second orbit of the Cularin System, but was believed to have been born in a solar system across the galaxy. Morjakar's orbit was some fifty degree tilted to the planetary plane defined by the system, and its path was cigar-shaped, extending well above the plane while remaining within the orbits of Acilaris and Cularin. Scientists theorized that Morjakar was the outermost terrestrial planet in a solar sytem whose planet expanded into a red giant, destroying the inner planets and flinging Morjakar out of orbit. It wandered the galaxy for many millennia before being caught in the gravity of the binary stars Morasil and Termandus. (LFC)

Morjanssik
One of the many Calamari floating cities, Morjanssik was a mining town built by the Quarren to supply the nearby mining facilities. It was one of the few cities designed, built, and populated almost entirely by Quarren; they wanted to see if they could survive without their Mon Calamari brothers. It was located in the southern hemisphere of Calamari, and was populated by nearly 75,000 Quarren and a few hundred Mon Cals. (DU)

Morjara, Roki
This was a noted Bimm individual, distinguished in the history of the planet Bimmisaari. (UANT)

Morley
This Imperial recruit was part of Kyle Katarn's squadron, during the taking of asteroid AX-456. He held the rank of Sergeant in Kyle's squad, reporting to Sergeant Major Hong, and was the team's demolitions expert. Because he was often the first man through a newly-opened door in training, Morley was first to enter the Alliance base on AX-456, and was shot in the head by an Alliance soldier. (SFE)

Morn
This Mon Calamari served as one of Black Sun's vigos during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, serving under Alexi Garyn during his tenure. Morn worked from a base on his homeworld of Calamari, until he was targeted for execution by Darth Maul about a year before Naboo was blockaded by the Trade Federation. Maul had been working to eliminate any shred of evidence linking his own master, Darth Sidious, to Hath Monchar, and had already executed the Dug vigo Darnada. Maul attacked Morn's base in order to learn the whereabouts of Asa Naga and Garyn, destroying the facility and executing Morn in order to maintain secrecy. (DM)

Morn
This was one of the more common names given to males of the Mon Calamari race. To the Mon Calamari, this name meant "male ruler" or "king". (GCG)

Morn, Saalo
This ancient Sith fanatic had originally failed in his training as a Jedi, some 1,000 years after the Great Sith War. He stole his master's helmet, which had been infused with the Force, and fled the Core Worlds to set up his own kingdom. He was able to quell the locals, but never found an apprentice worthy of training. Saalo Morn never really died, but passed into a state of unity with the Dark Side of Force when he was buried in his crypt. He remained within his crypt, assuming the guise of a bas-relief on the walls, until a group of adventurers discovered his crypt many millennia later. Awakened by the presence of the Force among the adventurers, Morn's spirit led the group deeper into the crypt and drew on their Force-sensitivity, hoping to get one of the group to don the ancient helmetof his master. The adventurers refused to accede to his wishes, and destroyed the helmet. Saalo Morn's spirit was dissipated, and was never seen again. (WOA7)

Morne, Celeste
This woman was a former Jedi Knight who agreed to become one of the Jedi Shadows, during the years leading up to the Mandalorian Wars. Celeste Morne was born on the planet Ossus, but her family was killed there during the Great Sith War. After completing her training as a Jedi, Celeste went to work for The Covenant, and was known to have destroyed the last copy of The Epistle of Marka Ragnos, in addition to recovering the Eye of Horak-Mul. Morne was dispatched by Lucien Draay to the planet Taris, on a mission to locate the Muur Talisman. She was trapped on the planet when the Mandalorians invaded the planet, and was surprised by the sudden appearance of rakghoul hordes in the Lower City. She did her best to dispatch as many of the vicious beasts as she could, but she always waited until an individual had fully turned into a rakghoul before killing them. One of the beings she was forced to kill was Constable Noana Sowrs, who had been bitten while trying to escape the Mandalorians.

As she committed Sowrs to the Force, Morne was rocked by a nearby explosion, and was confronted with Zayne Carrick and Marn Hierogryph, who were also trying to escape from the Mandalorians. When she learned the identities of her acquaintences, Morne was torn between completing her mission and bringing them to justice, but decided to leave them alone for the time being. The group realized that the explosions happening around them were not artillery bombardments, but directed charges like those used in mining operations. A little more exploration revealed that a group of Mandalorians, led by Pulsipher, was excavating the Lower City in search of something. Much to Morne's dismay, this something turned out to be the Muur Talisman, and she was forced to pursue the Mandalorians when they escaped from the Lower City with the talisman. The group stowed away aboard the Mar'eyce, and followed Pulsipher to the ice world of Jebble.

On Jebble, Celeste and Zayne discovered that the Mandalorians had somehow managed to transport the Rakghoul Plague to the ice world, and feared that the warriors might bring the plague to Alderaan. Their concern was only heightened when they learned that the new form of rakghouls on Jebble were smarter than most others, and could use weapons. The bites of these rakghouls, which became known as Mando-raks, also caused an immediate transformation, creating other rakghouls in mere seconds. During their escape from the creatures, Zayne explained the truth behind his flight from Taris, but Celeste kept secret the fact that she was still working for Lucien Draay. Celeste then stole away to make a report back to Draay and The Covenant about the Mandalorian sitation, but was hesitant to carry out Draay's orders to kill Zayne. This proved to somewhat beneficial, after Zayne was captured by Pulsipher, but the Muur Talisman removed itself from the Mandalorian's wrist and tried to attach itself to Zayne. Celeste managed to grab it, but the Talisman chose to attach itself to her neck. The spirit of Karness Muur appeared before her, eager to use her connection to the Force to carry out Muur's evil plans.

Celeste claimed that her use of the Muur Talisman was only necessary to ensure that the Sith did not return to power and cause more harm to the galaxy. However, Zayne questioned her logic, especially given that she had used the talisman to create a huge army of rakghouls from the Mandalorian troops that were assembled on Jebble. Zayne's words broke through her clouded mind, and she realized that Karness Muur had been using her body to create a new army. She asked Zayne to kill her, but he refused to accept that as the only solution. Instead, he suggested that Celeste entomb herself in Lord Dreypa's Oubliette, which would block the power of the talisman and keep her in a form of stasis until a defense against Muur could be found. Celeste then told Zayne to transport her entombed body to the Sanctum of the Exalted on Odryn, giving him the key to open the Sanctum and store the Oubliette there. With luck, the keepers of the Sanctum could solve her dilemma. Celeste also urged Zayne to reach Lady Krynda Draay, and to tell her the truth behind the Padawan Massacre.

After Cassus Fett bombarded Jebble from orbit, the Oubliette was left behind on Jebble, where it sank into the icy water and was locked beneath a kilometer of ice for more than 2,000 years. It was excavated by miners some 1,400 years before the formation of the Galactic Empire, and was eventually recovered by Darth Vader. Vader opened the stasis casket and released Celeste from her entombment, and she was greeted by Karness Muur's spirit almost as soon as she awoke. Celeste was surprised when she learned that she had been in stasis for nearly 4,000 years. Fane Peturri tried to bring her up to date on the history that had followed her imprisonment, but the changes were too great to be understood in one telling. However, one thing was obvious from Peturri's words, and Celeste quickly realized that the galaxy was under the control of the Sith. She drew her lightsaber and attacked Vader, and during their battle the Oubliette was damaged. Celeste refused to be drawn in by Vader's words, and fought against succumbing to the Dark Side of the Force when Karness Muur urged to turn the talisman over to the Dark Lord.

However, Vader was much stronger than Celeste could have imagined, and she was soon relieved of her weapon and forced to submit. With Muur's spirit urging her to left Vader kill her, Celeste feared that Vader would use the Muur Talisman to destroy the galaxy. Her life was spared when Vader confronted Fane Peturri instead, giving Celeste a chance to determine her next moves. Instead of giving in, she opened herself to the power of the Muur Talisman, and used its powers to turn Vader's stormtroopers into rakghouls. She hoped that the rakghouls would attack Vader and overpower him, but Vader moved quickly to reach his shuttle and escape. This left Celeste stranded on the remote world with Karness Muur's spirit, with nothing more than the rakghouls hordes for companionship. However, she knew that their location would probably never be found, thereby trapping Muur's spirit there with her. She remained on the remote planetoid for nearly two decades, until Vader sensed her continued existence through the Force, and sent a team to investigate. Celeste converted the entire task force to rakghouls that served her whims, and the loss of the team forced Vader to plant false information that lured the Alliance to her location.

Celeste confronted the Alliance personnel with the same fury that she used on the Imperials, turned any being who opposed her into a rakghouls. She was surprised when she sensed a Force user among the rebels, and lured Luke Skywalker to her cave. Driven by Karness Muur and the talisman around her neck, Celeste lashed out at Luke, but he matched her ferocity until Leia Organa was able to locate Luke and sneak into the cave. Celeste sensed Leia's presence, and would have killed the Princess if former clone trooper Able had not arrived in search of Leia. Celeste changed Able into a rakghoul, but was unable to transform both Luke and Leia. Karness Muur realized that Luke was strong in the Force, and detached the Muur Talisman from Celeste's neck and tried to attach it to Luke. Leia stepped in front of Luke, and the Talisman attached to her neck instead. Freed from the talisman's powers, Celeste experienced a brief moment of freedom that was quickly followed by an intense sensation of loneliness, spanning the millennia that she was not separated from her original life.

Rather than view herself as a helpless victim, Celeste took matters into her own hands, forcing the talisman back onto her neck and trapping Karness Muur's spirit on the remote world with her. However, Celeste was able to locate a transport vessel that had been abandoned on the world, so she took a group of her rakghouls and set out to explore the galaxy. As she fled the galaxy, she reached out through the Force and turned the crew of Vader's point ship in orbit around the planetoid into rakghouls who lacked the ability to control the ship. The ship crashed on the planetoid's surface, allowing Celeste to flee into the galaxy and preventing Vader from finding her. (KORV, DTV, SWRV)

Morne-3
This Arakyd concussion missile launcher was a common armament of tramp freighters whose captains could afford it. The 10-missile system was easy to fire and caused a great deal of damage. (GG6)

Morning Bell
A world in the Koornacht Cluster inhabited by Kubaz. It was known to the New Republic as Doornik-319. It was razed by the Yevetha during the Great Purge. Its significance to the Yevetha was not lost on the New Republic, which attempted to blockade the planet in an effort to halt the Yevethan progress across the Cluster. The Fifth Battle Group was rallied and sent to the planet, and the blockade began well enough. However, the Republic's ships were bombarded with pleas from prisoners of the Yevetha, begging the Republic not to fire on Yevethan ships because they were transporting prisoners. Most of the K-Wing bomber pilots on the front line hesitated, and the Yevethan attacked. They successfully repelled the Republic, staking their claim to the planet. (BTS, SOL)

Morning Court
Located in the new Jedi Temple erected on Coruscant in the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, this open atrium was circular in shape, and lined by mirrored transparisteel walls. The floor was blanketed by living sturdimoss, and the roof membrane could be opened or closed, depending on the weather. (LF6)

Morning Glory Circle
This was one of the many side-streets found on Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. (T24)

Morning Star

Morningstar
This was one of the many starships that were noted as participating in the Battle of Geonosis. (JSF)

Morningstar-class Fighter
This three-winged starfighter design was popular among pirates and shipjackers during the last decades of the Old Republic. The upper wing stood straight up from the fuselage, while the other two wings spread out from the bottom. Three sublight engines were situated in between the wings, providing speed and maneuverability. (STF)

Moro III
This planet was the site of a starship repair facility, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (DN2)

Morobe
This red-yellow binary star was the primary sun in the Morobe System, which includes Talasea. (XWN)

Morodin
A sentient race of creatures found in the jungles near Tropis-on-Varont, they were intelligent, fifteen-meter-long lizard-slugs that excreted a nutrient-rich slime when they travel. Each Morodin had six short legs to support their bodies, and a pair of arms for holding things. They were not native to Varont, but instead traveled to the planet in organic starships of their own creation nearly 1,000 years before the Old Republic was formed. After their homeworld suffered an ecological disaster, the colony on Varont was left to fend for themselves. When humans first settled Varont, the Morodin were hunted by the colonists, who thought that the slime trails left in their vegetable and grain fields were detrimental. However, after seeing the results of the slime's intense nutrients, the colonists began to allow the Morodin to move through their fields. The creatures created huge, maze-like patterns as they move through the forests, which they use to confuse their prey as well as their attackers. When the Krish Gamgalon discovered the beneficial effects of their slime on Yagaran Aleudrupe plants, he began "hunting" them in order to herd them into his aleudrope beds. He paid off the local Imperial Moff for the rights to "hunt" sentient beings. (SWJ1, EGC, AE)

Morodin
This was the spoken language of the Morodin race. It was believed that there was no written form of the language, as the Morodins lacked manipulative hands. (WOA33)

Morol
This man was the repair expert working at Just Armor on StarForge Station. Morol personally made sure every piece of armor sold was fitted perfectly to its new owner. (FOP)

Morota, Ayo
This severe, dangerous woman formed the Red Hand in the undercity of Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. During the Clone Wars, Morota took on several contracts to assassinate political figures on Coruscant. When Quinlan Vos located their base in the sewers of Galactic City, Morota believed his story of being an outcast from the Jedi Order, and allowed him to join the Red Hand. However, when she discovered that he had actually been sent to infiltrate the Red Hand by Jedi Master Yoda, she ordered him to be executed for betraying he Red Hand. Unfortunately, one of Morota's goons forgot to confiscate Vos' lightsaber, which he used to break free. Vos was forced to fight his way to freedom, but was confronted by Morota before he could reach safety. She admitted that he had beaten her, but she refused to be captured. Instead, she jumped from the edge of a sewer drain and plummeted into the depths. Her death helped hide the fact that she and the Red Hand had been secretly hired by Chancellor Palpatine himself. (CWA9)

Morp
This predatory amphibian was native to the planet Dagobah, and was believed to be related to the nharpira. A terrestrial creature, the morp anchored itself into boles and wormholes and attacked its prey as it wandered by. The morp had a highly poisonous venom which it injected when it bit its prey. This venom paralyed the prey, allowing the morp to extract itself from its hole and consume the prey. (WSW)

Morp Droid
The design of these repulsor-equipped droids was attributed to Asajj Ventress, the Dark Jedi who was one of Count Dooku's chief lieutenants during the Clone Wars. Each morp droid resembled a floating, six-legged beetle, and delivered a powerful electric discharge when they touched living flesh. The discharge was powerful enough to electrocute a human being. Because of the incredible power used by morp droids, they seemed to glow with an electric blue aura as they sought out their targets. (RDR)

Morph
This Polydroxol served as Bruce Mercy's bodyguard and enforcer. He flew pirate missions with Mercy on the Starburst, along with Durquist. (TSK)

Morphing Divan
This convertible type of furniture was produced in the Hapes Cluster, and was commonly found in parlors and guestrooms. In its standard form, the morphing divan resembled a sofa or loveseat. At a command, it could transform into a daybed, allowing for extra sleeping space whenever guests arrived. (LF7)

Morr
This female Defel got started as a bounty hunter by bringing in a trader who had broken his word to several other Defel. She found that her natural skills as a hunter were more than adequate to make a living in the wider galaxy. (GG10)

Morr III
One of Zothip's base planets. (DFRSB)

Morril
An alien creature native to the planet Trinta, morrils resemble small chipmunks. They were omnivorous, subsisting on plants unless they can find carrion to feed on. (DOE)

Morro
This elderly man worked as a farmer on the planet Ceriun, some 1,000 years before the Battle of Endor. He was also considered the leader of his tribe at the time. When Ka'arn found a Jedi holocron in the downed ship of a Jedi Knight, Morro decided to hold onto the holocron until another Jedi could come to Ceriun to recover it. This proved to be a fatal mistake for many members of the tribe, when the Sith arrived and killed the young boys who had helped Tenno try and recover it. (T17)

Morrow, T.
This man served the Alliance armed forces as a General, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It was General Morrow who recruited Colonel Hoot to pose as an Imperial officer on Admiral Brady's staff, so that the Alliance could obtain direct intelligence on the Admiral's operations. (SWGAL)

Morrs
This New Republic Lieutenant was placed in charge of the investigation into Kyp Durron's stealing of the Sun Crusher weapon from its resting place at the heart of Yavin. His survey results were largely insubstantial, because the sheer force of the storms at the planet's heart wouldn't allow his sensor teams to gather useful data. (IJ)

Morrt
Furry, gray, mouse-sized parasites from the planet Gamorr, they feed on the blood of a living host. Note that the Star Wars Adventure Journal #10 indicates that the morrts were slug-like creatures. The Gamorreans have domesticated them and consider them to be pets, and they have adopted a social ideal which states that the more morrts a Gamorrean had attached to its body, the more status they have. The highest ranking matrons and warlords have twenty or more morrts attached to their bodies. Morrts found in the wild can be quite aggressive when they attach themselves to a host, and an entire swarm could bleed a full-grown Gamorrean dry in no time at all. (SWSB, SWJ10)

Morrt-class Droid
Developed by Warlord Zsinj and Apwar Trigit shortly after the Battle of Thyferra, these small, parasite droids were distributed throughout the galaxy. They were designed to intercept signals from virtually any source and relay information about the source to their operators. The basic Morrt droid resembled a rectangular box, and could attach itself to virtually any surface. The project was initially successful, allowing Trigit to feed false information to the New Republic and allowed him to destroy Talon Squadron. The second hit came from Folor, but Trigit attacked the false beacons placed on the moon instead. When Gara Petothel discovered that the Morrts dispatched to Talasea where attaching themselves to ships which constantly moved in and out of the Morobe System, Apwar Trigit discovered that the intelligence of the Morrts was too limited to be useful. He canceled further development and abandoned the Morrts. (WS)

Mors
This surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG)

Mors, Opeli
This woman was one of the primary representatives of the Jin'ri Trade Syndicate during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She supported the creation of Luke Skywalker's Great River, only because it would allow the Syndicate to make more of a profit by selling supplies to worlds along the pathway. (EVR)

Morsai, Rollo
This woman, whose stage name was Jona Reeten, had her acting career cut short when Babel Torsh took control of the Minos Cluster. Since that time, she had made a living plying the spacelanes in her converted Baudo-class yacht, the Gilded Lily, a ship which had been modified over time. Over time, she lost much of her exuberance and drive, and so much of the work aboard the ship gets done by her assistant, Tiebo. (GG6)

Morseer
This planet, the homeworld of the Morseerian race, was shrouded with a methane-based atmosphere. The Morseerians kept the planet's location a secret for more than twelve thousand years, and only members of the Morseerian race knew of its existence. (TBSB, UANT)

Morseerian
A four-armed race of methane-breathing humanoids, Morseerians were native to the planet Morseer. They were easily recognizable by their large, cone-shaped heads and the breathmasks they wore whenever they were in an atmosphere that lacks sufficient methane. The Morseerians were a client species to the Drackmarians, and every Morseerian was "owned" or under contract to a Drackmarian master. Beneath their protective suits, Morseerians had transparent skin and large, black eyes. They kept the location of their homeworld a heavily-guarded secret, protecting its independence with their lives if necessary. As a people, the Morseerians were secretive and quiet. Although generally peaceful in nature, Morseerians often rected swiftly to any threat they encountered, whether real or perceived. (CCG, SSR, TBSB, ANT, UANT)

Morseerian
This was the name given to the native language of the Morseerians. (ANT)

Morshdine Sector
When Luke Skywalker infiltrated the Cavrilhu Pirates' base in the Kauron System, he managed to discover that Wesselman had traveled to this area of the galaxy to pick up a load of unregistered Tibanna gas. (SOP)

Mortar Gun

Mortav
This was the innermost of the four moons which orbited the planet Mutanda. (PG1)

Morteos
This man was a native of the planet Nar Bo Sholla. He was known as one of the best freelance assassins, specializing in the assassination of corporate officials. He was known to have killed one of SoroSuub's top executives, although who hired Morteos remains a mystery. Morteos was also responsible for the death of Crix Masst on Sinded, and was nearly captured when New Republic pilots shot at his modified freighter. Despite taking damage, Morteos outran the Y-Wings and disappeared. He was known to wear black battle armor to hide his true identity, and usually executes his target from a remote location, using bombs, poisons, and other subtle means. (WBC)

Mortex Sector
The Alliance gained a foothold in this area of the galaxy shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (BI)

Morthul
This Dark Jedi was known for his cruelty to non-human races. He was eventually defeated by a group of young Jedi shortly after the Battle of Endor. (GMS)

Morti
This large-nosed, green-skinned alien worked as a talent agent during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He booked one of his clients, known simply as Shirley, to perform at the delegation on Kabray station, just prior to the Battle of Endor. (MC77)

Morto
This Togorian male was one of the new Sith discovered by Alema Rar on Korriban, some three years after the Swarm War. Alema Rar was hoping to locate the Sith and continue the work of Lumiya, who was working to turn Jacen Solo into the next Dark Lord of the Sith. It was Morto who intercepted Alema when she arrived at the Valley of the Dark Lords, but she proved her mettled by injuring his leg after being forced to the ground. (LF6)

Mortull, Wud
This young man was once apprenticed to Jedi Master Pernicar, during the decades leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. About eighteen years before the battle, Mortull went missing, only to reappear eight years later in the company of the Sith. Pernicar was forced to confront his former student, who appeared to smile and welcomed Pernicar's presence with open arms. However, with a smile still on his face, Mortull drew a red-bladed lightsaber and rushed to attack Pernicar. Pernicar reacted swiftly, and cut down his former student. Mortull died with the same smile on his face, giving Pernicar a reason to question what had happened to Mortull during his absence. (EGF)

Mortunk, Rabby
This man served as the ship's engineer aboard the pirate vessel Free Lance. (PP)

Morut
When translated into Basic, this Mando'a word meant "haven" or "stronghold." (OWS)

Morut'yc
When translated into Basic, this Mando'a word meant "safe" or "secure." (OWS)

Morvak
This unusual creature was able to derive sustenance from rocks and stones. They required neither gravity nor atmosphere for their survival, which allowed them to live in asteroid belts, which provided abundant sources of food. Resembling large crustaceans, the average morvak was more than a meter across, and was covered with a heavy exoskeleton. Two pairs of legs allowed it to move, while a pair of clawed limbs allowed it to dig through rubble. A grouping of tentacles hung from their mouths, and exuded a poweful acid which the morvak used to break down rock and stone into digestible forms. These tentacles could also give the morvak an indication of what kind of rock it was burrowing in. When deprived of sustenance, morvaks can go into a form of suspended animation, surviving for years until discovering a new source of food. Despite their fearsome appearance, morvaks were social creatures which traveled in packs, working together to repel attackers and locate new sources of minerals. (PG1)

Morven, Kritus
This man lived on the planet Naboo, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Morvis, Dallan
A native of the planet Chandrila, this man served in the Old Republic's naval forces during the Mandalorian Wars, serving under Captain Saul Karath aboard the Courageous some 3,963 years before the Galactic Civil War. His father was the founder of, and served as a director at, the Coruscant Financial Exchange, and his mother served as Chandrila's Senator in the Galactic Senate. Despite these connections, Dallan earned his way up the ranks at the naval academy, and was assigned to Admiral Sommos's staff before being promoted to serve under then-Captain Saul Karath aboard the Reciprocity during the Great Sith War.

During the attack against the Mandalorian forces that were arrayed over Taris and Vanquo, Commander Morivs openly questioned the strategies of Karath and the two admirals, especially when Mandalorian ships being moving into position to flank the Republic's fleet. Although Morvis and the Courageous survived The Onslaught, they were no closer to defeating the Mandalorians.

The fleet fell back to Serroco, where they hoped to regroup and make a stand against their enemies. However, after witnessing the Mandalorians' vicious attack on the planet - an attack that had been foreseen by the former Jedi Padawan, Zayne Carrick - the Republic's forces were too stunned to react when a full assault was launched. Only the quick thinking of Carrick, who was being held prisoner aboard the Courageous helped them to reach the hangar bays and safety.

Morvis, along with Carrick, Karath, and Carth Onasi, managed to reach the Perave System, where they hoped to find refuge on the planet Arkania. Instead, they found themselves the guests of Lord Arkoh Adasca aboard the Arkanian Legacy, where Karath was offered the chance to negotiate on the Republic's behalf for control of Adasca's exogorths. Despite the obvious problems Karath had in representing the Republic, it was Morvis who urged him to continue to negotiate, since the exogorths could be used to level planetary systems and create a barrier between the Republic and the Mandalorians. The negotiations were terminated when the exogorths were set loose by The Camper, and the Republic's representatives only barely escaped with their lives. Upon returning to Coruscant, Morvis called in favors from his parents to avoid severe punishment for his actions, and was even promoted to Captain of the Swiftsure, although he was relegated to another vessel when Admiral Karath was recalled to defend Coruscant from a possible attack by Zayne Carrick. (KOR2, KOR4, KOR5, KORH, KOR6, WOTC, KOR9)

Morvogodine
A planet, located in the Calaron Sector, that was occupied by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. (TME, REB)

Morv'vyal
This Bothan was an investigator with the Drev'starn Department of Criminal Discouragement. He accompanied Proy'skyn to the Exocticalia Pet Emporium, on a tip that the store had been burglarized. When a fire broke out in the shop, the Bothans realized that it was related to the wiring. This led them to discover the hidden cache of weapons kept by Navett and Klif, which forced the humans to kill the Bothan investigators in order to carry out their plans. (VOF)

Morwan, Lalu
This Hapan noblewoman was in service to the AlGray family, and was implicated as part of the plot to assassinate the Queen Mother, Tenel Ka, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. It was Lady Morwan who approached Aurra Sing and employed the bounty hunter to kill the Queen Mother. Morwan and approached by several other members of the Heritage Council who disagreed with Tenel Ka's continued support of the Galactic Alliance, especially after the Galactic Alliance blockaded the Corellian System in an effort to prevent Corellia from seceding. The Council members demanded a change, and so they ordered Lady Morwan to hire someone to carry out the assassination.

Lady Morwan investigated several potential agents, among them the bounty hunter Aurra Sing, who had some history in tracking Jedi Knights. Before she could make up her mind who to hire, Lady Morwan was cornered by Aurra Sing, who demanded to know why Morwan was investigating her. When she heard about the job, Aurra Sing left Lady Morwan little choice and demanded that she be hired.

When Sing's attempt to kill Tenel Ka was thwarted, Lady Morwan tracked the bounty hunter to Telkur Station, where she ordered Aurra Sing to cut off her attempt to kill the Queen Mother, and focus her attention on the Chume'da, Allana, instead. The bounty hunter then took off in Lady Morwan's Batag Skiff, forcing Morwan to accept transport back to Hapes with Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, who had been traveling with Aurra Sing. It was during the return to Hapes that Lady Morwan revealed that she had served as a flight surgeon aboard the warship Kendall during the Battle of Qoribu. With her cover exposed, Morwan pulled out a blaster to keep Han from doing anything stupid, while continuing to prod and needle Han, to the point that he became angry and broke her nose with a blow from his elbow. (LF3)

Morymento
This was the largest of the colonies found on Kerilt. Like most of settlements on Kerilt, it lacked self-sufficiency, and was a target for pirates. Morymento was also the home of one of the larger Caamasi Remnant communities. (IJ)

Morz
This common Zabrak surname meant "trader". (GCG)

Mos
This ball of searing rock was the first planet in the Dostra System. (AIR)

Mos Eisely
see Mos Eisley (SWG2P)

Mos Eisley
One of the primary cities of the modern era on Tatooine, Mos Eisley was also home to one of Tatooine's primary spaceports. Believed to have bee founded about 85 years before the Battle of Yavin by Noosh Feteel and other founding fathers, Mos Eisley grew outward from the crash site of the Dowager Queen, as spacefaring companies and individuals realized Tatooine's proximity to existing spacelanes was advantageous. As the popularity of podracing waned, the unofficial capital city of Tatooine was moved from Mos Espa to Mos Eisley. In just a few decades, Mos Eisley's population tripled as businesses took root to offer services to starships and tarvelers who were passing through the system. Some 362 docking bays were built within its boundaries. During much of the Galactic Civil War, Jabba the Hutt used Mos Eisley as a base of operations. The female Whiphid Valarian also used Mos Eisley as a base, keeping Jabba at arm's length. The city was divided into two main sections, the Old Quarter surrounding the wreckage of the Dowager Queen, and the more tourist-friendly areas known as the New Quarter. Ben Kenobi once described Mos Eisley as "...a...wretched hive of scum and villiany". Following the death of Jabba, the city was thrown into a raging chaos. Much of the city was burned and/or looted, and for a time Tatooine was isolated from the major shipping lanes because the spaceport was inaccessible. (E4, GG7, TME, RSG, SWDB, RESB, SOT, IWST, RF3)

Mos Eisley Cantina
This was the primary watering hole located in the spaceport city of Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. Although it was most commonly known as the Mos Eisley Cantina, it was actually named Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina, or simply Chalmun's Cantina, because the establishment was owned by the Wookiee known as Chalmun. The Cantina itself was located at 3112 Outer Kerner Way, at the intersection with Kerner Plaze and Inner Curved Street. Before Chalmun assumed control of the cantina, it was the property of the Vriichon Brothers, who ran an illegal spice den on the premises. The original building was rumored to have been built by Cedo Partu, as a fortification against Tusken Raider attacks during Mos Eisley's early years. It was little more than a hole that was dug into the ground and covered with a stone dome that kept the heat out and the patrons cool. The entrance was accessed by a small staricase. A sign over the arched doorway offered the warning "Watch Your Head(s)" in the Basic language. It was rumored that Jabba the Hutt once threatened to shoot one arriving starship a day from the skies over the spaceport until the doors of the cantina were enlarged enough for him to fit through. It was Chalmun who installed a Fabritech EPT-212 droid detector in the doorway, despite Wuher's obvious distrust of droids. The mixing computer of the cantina's ancient bar was capable of synthesizing more than 16,000 different drinks, although Chalmun refused to stock all the necessary ingredients. The main bar was shaped like a U, allowing the bartender to serve a large number of customers. Several tables were set into alcoves around the bar, with the main offices and storerooms located at the rear of the building. Maximum capacity for the cantina facilities was set at 102 humanoids, but this number was rarely enforced, even during the Imperial occupation of Tatooine. (E4, SWJ3, SWDB, IWST, E4Y, SWI91, LLOW)

Mos Eisley Inn
This motel, which provided marginal accommodations, wsa located in the spaceport city of Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. (TME)

Mos Eisley Merchant's Association
The Chadra-Fan pickpocket Kabe claimed to be a representative of this organization, during her years spent on Tatooine. Dressed up like a Jawa, she approached incoming starship captains and explained to them that they had to buy a "trade license" from her for 500 credits in order to do business on the planet. This façade infuriated the Jawas, since the Merchant's Association was a scam, and the license that captains really needed cost just 200 credits. (SOT)

Mos Eisley Mourners
This was the name given to four DX-series assassin droids owned by Jabba the Hutt. The four droids were purchased and programmed to act in the event of Jabba's death. The droids were programmed to request a specific password each week from Jabba himself. If the password was correct, they would deactivate themselves for another week. If, at the end of each week, the droids did not receive the password, their onboard systems fired up and the droids set out to eliminate their targets. Jabba figured that his death would most likely come from a competitor or underling, and he was determined to keep their greedy hands off his fortunes. Each droid was given specific targets - Lady Valarian, Jun Seros, and Bib Fortuna were all in the target database - and, when activated, set out through the streets of Mos Eisley. As they searched for their targets, the droid would mutter woeful cries and mourn the death of the mighty Jabba, while efficiently hunting down their targets. When Jabba died just prior to the Battle of Endor, it was never learned if the ancient droids actually woke up to make their attacks. (RESB)

Mos Eisley Spaceport
A run-down spaceport by most standards, the Mos Eisley Spaceport was originally established as an alternative to the Anchorhead port. A group of Rodian refugees helped build the Spaceport, which grew as word spread that it was much less expensive than Anchorhead. Over time, the Spaceport expanded in concentrical circles of packed-sand landing pits. It also had its own cantina. The layout of the spaceport was overseen by the Hutts who established bases of operation on Tatooine, and had to conform to a simple rule: "Visitors must have easy access to the city, where they can spend their money. They must also have easy access to the spaceports, so that they can go back to their ships and fetch the rest." For this reason, most docking bays in Mos Eisley were protected by a passcode that was given free-of-charge to incoming starship captains. (E4, ZHR, SWDB, SOT)

Mos Eisley Special
A nickname for the DL-18 blaster, it referred to the fact that they were readily available on the desert world. (CCG7)

Mos Eisley Standoff
This was a term used by the beings who lived in the spaceport city of Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine, to describe any barfight that turned into a free-for-all, before the participants were unsure which side they were on. The name stemmed from the fact that many cantinas in Mos Eisley allowed their patrons to carry weapons while within the cantina, and those that did not often lacked the scanning technology to verify that all weapons had been left outside. Most of the beings who frequented the Mos Eisley cantinas were wanted for some crime or other, and so were always ready to defend themselves. Thus, if a firefight did break out between two patrons, everyone else in the cantina began firing back in an attempt to defend themselves. All the shooters quickly ducked for cover under tables and behind booths, until all were pinned down by one or more of the others. In this way, the two original combatants were soon unable to finish their argument, as the firefight quickly became a standoff between multiple shooters, each of whom was trying to protect themselves. The standoff lasted until the bartender managed to regain control of the establishment, or until the original parties agreed to take their conflict outside. (RF3)

Mos Eisley Towers
A hotel located in Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, the name was deceiving because the entire building - except for the lobby and restaurant - was buried under the desert sands. (TJP)

Mos Entha
This settlement was located on the planet Tatooine, across the Mospic High Range from Mos Espa. For many years, it was a distant third in terms of population and appeal to the spaceport city of Mos Eisley and the settlement of Mos Espa. However, in the years following the Battle of Endor, Mos Entha experienced a resurgence of wealth. By the time the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Mos Entha was the site of a much more modern spaceport. (IWE1, SOT, WOA5)

Mos Espa
One of the larger townships found on the planet Tatooine, Mos Espa was originally founded some 80 years before the Battle of Yavin by a group of Rodian refugees. Soon, the Hutts moved in, and by the era of the Battle of Naboo it was controlled by Jabba the Hutt. It was a sprawling city built on gambling money, originally settled by a large contingent of Rodians but quickly controlled by the Hutts. Each year, its surrounding desert was the site of the annual Boonta Eve Classic podrace. The city also was home to a large contingent of slaves, owned by the merchants and the Hutts. (CCG9, E1, E1N, OWS)

Mos Espa Circuit
This was the most noted swoop racing course on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Much of the course was based on Jabba the Hutt's old podracing course, which was also known as the Mos Espa Circuit. (SWGAL)

Mos Espa Circuit
This was the name of the podracing course established by Jabba the Hutt, just outside the spaceport city of Mos Espa. Beginning in the confines of the Mos Espa Arena, the course started out across the Starlite Flats, then wound through Waldo Flats before opening into Mushroom Mesa and Ebe Crater Valley. From there, racers had to negotiate Beggar's Canyon before getting a brief respite while crossing a desert plain bordering on the Dune Sea. Then, racers were forced to navigate through Arch Canyon before weaving through The Whip, Jag Crag Gorge, and the Lagula Caves. After emerging from the Caves, racers moved through the Canyon Dune Turn before hitting the Bindy Bend. At the far end of the Bend, the course narrowed sharply as it passed through The Coil, Jett's Chute, and The Corkscrew. Once through this set of challenges, racers pushed their machines to the limit in an all-out speed race to return to Mos Espa Arena across Hutt Flats. (IWE1)

Mos Espa Galactic Food Emporium
This large grocery store was located down the street from Watto's junkyard, in the city of Mos Espa on Tatooine, during the last years of the Old Republic. (E1A8)

Mos Espa Grand Arena
This huge arena was built by Jabba the Hutt with a great deal of governmental help. Jabba obtained the necessary permits, licenses, and funding by claiming the huge arena would bring business to Mos Espa, and he was true to his prediction. Each year, the Arena hosted the Boonta Eve Classic podrace, which attracted more than 100,000 spectators from across the Outer Rim. Other podraces were also run there, on the amateur circuits. (E1N, RAC, SWDB)

Mos Espa Podracing Arena
see Mos Espa Grand Arena (TG)

Mos Espa Swoop Arena
In the years which followed the decline of podracing's popularity and the ravages of the Clone Wars, the former Mos Espa Grand Arena on Tatooine was more or less abandoned by the Desilijic Hutts. It was eventually taken over by a small band of swoop racers, who used it to stage a regular series of semi-legitimate races during the early years of the New Republic. (TG)

Mos Espa Way
This was the name of the primary street that worked its way through the city of Mos Espa, on Tatooine. (E1N)

Mosbree, Arcel
This man was a former Senator to the Old Republic, who retired from Senatorial duty to return to his homeworld of Brentaal, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. He was elected to serve as planetary governor, but many failed to see that he had developed alliances with the Separatists. Mosbree allowed the Condeferacy of Independent Systems to assume control of Brentaal, under the military direction of Commander Shogar Tok. However, a task force of Jedi Knights managed to defeat Tok and arrest Mosbree on charges of conspiracy, liberating the planet from Separatist control. Mosbree was succeeded as planetary governor by Jerrod Maclain. (SWI70)

Moseum
This planet was believed to have been the homeworld of Jenna Zan Arbor. (LJ10)

Mosgoth
A reptilian avian native to the planet Togoria, the mosgoth were befriended by the Togorians for their mutual protection against the liphons. The mosgoths allowed themselves to be used as mounts, which gave the Togorians the ability to move about swiftly. In turn, the Togorians provided shelter for their mosgoth mounts, and both species worked together to exist on the plabet. Over the generations, the Togorians established permanent camps to be near the mosgoths, and they began domesticating mosgoths for use as hunting mounts. The average mosgoth stood nearly ten meters in height, and had a wingspan of forty meters or more. The hide of a mosgoth was covered with heavy, green scales, and several black horns crowned its head. Despite their fearsome appearance, mosgoths were considered one of the most majestic creatures in the galaxy. (GG4, TPS, MIS8)

Moska
This minor Hutt crimelord was a rival of Torga the Hutt, vying for spice smuggling supremacy on Nar Shaddaa during the height of the New Order. Moska had Torga's chief lieutenant, Nak Simm, murdered shortly after the Battle of Yavin, in an effort to persuade Torga to turn over his spice operations. The plan was to ensure that Torga looked incompetent in the eyes of Jolla the Hutt, with whom Torga had been planned to forge an alliance. Moska hoped that the death of Nak Simm, coupled with several other assassination attempts on Torga's life, would also make Torga too much of a risk for Jolla. Moska's plans were thwarted when his Clawdite assassin, Nomo Sliken, was captured while posing as Nak Simm. His operations were further undermined by Jolla himself, who posed as Moska to hire a number of assassins to eliminate the mercenaries working for Torga. (WOA23, WOA24)

Moskk System
This star system was the site of a Galactic Republic staging area, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Moskk System was located several sectors from the Gwori System. (CWSOD)

Jango Fett later claimed this bounty on the planet Tatooine, during a mission to locate Gardulla the Hutt. (BH)

Mossak
This planet was a major hyperspace hub for travelers headed into the Tingel Arm of the galaxy from the planet Felucia or along the Perlemian Trade Route. During the final stages of the Clone Wars, a huge space battle was fought over Mossak when Old Republic discovered a Separatist staging facility in the system. Republic warships caught the Separatists by surprise, and were able to rout them and take control of the system. The Republic then spread mines through the system, to prevent any Separatist ships from returning. (RDV)

Moss-painting
This was a form of art which developed on the planet Alderaan. It involved the cultivation of specific strains of moss which neither spread nor reproduced, keeping their position static within the artwork. The secrets of how to cultivate these mosses and grow them into a painting were well-guarded even on Alderaan, and were lost when the planet was destroyed by the first Death Star. Because of these secrets, moss-paintings could not be forged. In order to maintain the moss patches, speciallized moisture-control circuitry was developed to ensure the survival of the mosses. (TG)

Mossu, Urnon
This Duros was a member of the Blank Look Gang during the last years of the Old Republic. He served as the gang's chief pilot, and was considered something of a hotshot speeder pilot during his career. When the Gang stole a collection of ancient Twi'leki pottery from the Galactic Museum, it was Urnon's abilities to steer an airspeeder that helped them escape the immediate vicinity. However, he was unable to skaee the pursuit dispatched by Ket Durgo and the Museum's security force, and Urnon was forced to crashland the speeder at the Royal Icqui Aquaria. (WOA21)

Mossy
A derogatory term used to describe the M'shinni race. (GG12)

Most Difficult Hunt
This was one of the many annual honorifics bestowed upon Rodian bounty hunters by the Grand Protector of Rodia. As the name suggested, this award was given to the Rodian who struggled through and overcame the most obstacles in their pursuit of 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)

Most Evilest Empire
This was the term used by Keets Freely to describe the Galactic Empire. (LJ3)

Most Heinous Being in Recorded Time, The

Most Perfect Order of K'vin
This was the name of the so-called religion that was started by the disembodied brain known as K'vin. Like the B'omarr Monks, the members of this order severed their brains from their bodies and stored them in nurtient jars. In this way, they could contemplate the universe for centuries beyond their normal lifespans. However, K'vin claimed that the B'omarr were a splinter sect of the Most Perfect Order of K'vin, although the only distinguishing factor seemed to be that the B'omarr used red nutrient fluid to maintain their brains, while K'vin and his followers used green nutrient fluid. (MIS5)

Mota secretly worked with a group of individuals to obtain and sell virtually anything, providing the highest bidder with weapons, vehicles or rations. Mota demanded, however, that his fellow Workers refrain from using illegal methods in fighting for their freedom. During Balog's attempt to take control of the planet, Mota helped Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi obtain a probe droid and speeders, to help them track Balog. Unfortunately for the Workers, the Jedi learned that Mota had been selling weapons and explosives to the undercover Absolutes, thereby undermining their attempt to remain free. (DOH)

Mote, The
This space station was located in orbit arounded the star known as Kuna's Eye, and was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. It was named for the way in which it resembled a speck of dust in Kuna's Eye, but it was originally constructed to serve as a mining platform. The planetary disk surrounding Kuna's Eye was rich in metals and ores, and several mining operations were established on the station. The Mote was actually a collection of refineries, law offices, and spaceports, which served the various mining concerns. (GMR9)

Motee'
This woman served as one of Senator Padme' Amidala's handmaidens, during the years following the Battle of Geonosis. She would often stand in for Padme', when the Senator snuck away to be with her husband, Anakin Skywalker. (SWI71, E3, OWS)

Motel Nebulus
Located in the city of Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, this hotel sprang up in the wake of the Galactic Civil War, after the Imperial presence on Tatooine was lifted.

Mother Jungle
This was the name used by the Ithorians to refer to the natural environment of their homeworld, Ithor. As a race, Ithorians chose not to set foot on the surface of their homeworld, in order to preserve its natural beauty. In order for an Ithorian - or any other being - to come into contact with the forest floor, they had to first give up something of themselves in order to prove their desire to save themselves.

Baby Ludi was taken from her homeworld of Ord Thoden after a devastating earthquake destroyed Domitree, but her mother, Jonava, also survived. Jonava tried to recover her daughter, but the Jedi refused to release the child. The March on Alsakan was organized to raise the level of awareness of Jedi tactics with regards to young children, as well as to raise money to help Jonava cover her legal expenses. (HNN5)

Mother's Valkyrie
This starship, belonging to Belezaboth Ourn, was nearly destroyed when the Aradamia tried to lift off from Coruscant. Nil Spaar used the damaged ship as part of his plan to show how Leia Organa-Solo was keeping him on the planet against his will, thus causing damage to "innocent bystanders." The ship was later impounded by the New Republic, forcing Ourn to remain on Coruscant. This provided Spaar with a source of information on the planet, but kept Ourn from being able to leave. (BTS, SOL)

Mothin, Rone
This New Republic Commander was placed in control of the outpost on Sheris. His troops guarded the shield generators protecting the Marter An spaceport, and were pressed into active duty when Imperial forces attempted to gain control of Bhir'Khi Pass. (SWJ9)

Mothma, Lieda
This young woman was Mon Mothma's daughter, born during the early years of the Alliance. (NEGC, SWI82)

Mothma, Mon
A native of the planet Chandrila, Mon Mothma grew up in a political environment, as her mother was a governor on Chandrila and her father was an arbiter-general in the Old Republic. Mon Mothma eventually became the youngest person elected to the Imperial Senate at that time. (Leia Organa was the youngest ever to be elected.) She was an outspoken representative, who was one of the first Senators to notice the degeneration of the Old Republic. She was also one of the first to do something about it. As the Clone Wars ground on, Mon Mothma and Bail Organa worked with Padme' Amidala to enact legislation that ensure Chancellor Palpatine relinquished the additional powers he had acquired during the conflict. Their efforts were only marginally successful, and they received only Palpatine's assurances. When the First Battle of Coruscant caught the Republic off-guard, Mon Mothma was the first Senator to openly voice the suspicion that the Jedi Knights had become Palpatine's pawns in the larger game that resulted in his rise to power. Bail Organa managed to convince her otherwise, and joined with her to create the Petition of the Two Thousand. It was Senator Mothma who suggested that they bring in Senator Amidala to join their petition, hoping that her relationship with Palpatine might help them push their petition through.

However, the Petition of the Two Thousand failed to produce results, and Senator Mothma and her colleagues were forced to watch Palpatine name himself Emperor and institute the New Order. Along with Senators Garm Bel Iblis and Bail Organa, Mon Mothma negotiated the Corellian Treaty following Palpatine's institution of the New Order, and formed the Alliance to Restore the Republic. She became the leader of the Alliance, and her political savvy made her nearly irreplaceable. Her domineering attitude, however, created tense situations, and led to the departure of Garm Bel Iblis from the Alliance prior to the attack on Milvayne. It also seems that Mon Mothma was not above stretching the truth when it suited her needs. As described in The Farlander Papers, Mon Mothma delivered a speech on Agamar, three months after the planet was attacked by Imperial forces. She described the fall of the Republic as occurring during the peaceful time that followed the Clone Wars. Senator Palpatine was described as a young man at the time, and he stepped in to broker agreements that kept the Senate operative, while manipulating people and events to his own plans. He used his skills to be named President of the Republic, feigning the appearance of a figurehead while maneuvering himself into a position of absolute power. Over time, he moved more and more power away from the Senate into the hands of the President, until he finally declared himself Emperor and instituted the New Order. Mon Mothma, along with Crix Madine and the Mon Calamarian Ackbar, devised the plans to destroy the second Death Star at Endor, which eventually succeeded. From that point on, Mon Mothma served as the Chief of State for the New Republic.

While trying to bring more worlds into the New Republic's fold, she was poisoned by Furgan, the ambassador from the still-Imperial world of Carida. He threw a drink into her face, as a refusal of her offer. Unknown to everyone but Furgan, the drink contained carefully-created nano-destroyers, which began eating away at Mon Mothma's genetic structure. Bacta was of no help in combating the disease, and Mon Mothma slowly wasted away. A timely solution was found when the Jedi Healer Cilghal found a way to used the Force extract the nano-destroyers individually, but Mon Mothma no longer felt able to run the New Republic. She asked Leia Organa Solo to take over for her, and retired to her estate on Coruscant. Just before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Mon Mothma died in her sleep of natural causes.

Mothma Squadron
This was one of the best starfighter squadrons stationed aboard the Galactic Alliance warship Bounty, during the height of the Corellia-GA War. (LF5)

Mothra
This Imperial Tax Inspector was a thorn in the side of Roark Garnet. He was a hypochondriac, and any symptom of a cold was shunned by Mothra at the first chance. Garnet once faked the Merthian Lung Infection in order to scare Mothra away from inspecting a cargo he was carrying. After being promoted to Associate Governor, Mothra later discovered that the disease didn't exist, and become extremely vigilant whenever Garnet was in his local area. (SWCP)

Mothut
Meaning "charity" or "generosity", this was a common female name among the Mon Calamari race. (GCG)

Motion Interface Package
Created by SoroSuub, this cyborg system allows the recipient to have increased visual acuity through a direct interface with a starship's computer systems. A cyborg with this package can control piloting controls, weapons systems, and shield systems, allowing the cyborg to operate the ship with increased efficiency. Designed around the Multi-Motion computer framework, it allows the cyborg to manage huge amounts of tactical data. Many recipients claim that a starship dogfight becomes much like a holo-vid arcade game. However, the recipient quickly grows tired of even the most intense engagements, because they become easy to handle. (CFG)

Motir
When translated into Basic, this Mando'a verb meant "to stand." (OWS)

Motivator
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer was stationed near Maldra IV during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It had been dispatched to investigate a pirate base on the planet, but Captain Briera and his crew discovered an Alliance training base and munitions plant on the planet. (SWJ10)

Motivator
The device which converts energy into mechanical motion and provides locomotion for droids. (SW)

Motla'shebs

Motley Kaadu
This species of kaadu, which was native to the planet Naboo, was named for its unusual coloration. (SWG2P)

Motmot
Native to Toola, these huge, shaggy herd creatures were the preferred prey of the Whiphids and snow demons. Individual motmots measured up to twelve meters tall at the shoulder, and up to fifteen meters in length. A single motmot - or mastmot, as some Whiphid tribes call them - could feed a tribe for a month, and its pelt provided each family with a tent and jacket. (CPL, SWJ10, NEGA)

Motoball
This droid locomotion system utilizes a large, round ball as its base. The metallic ball rests underneath a cap which allows the ball to roll freely while balancing the upper section of the droid over the ball. The system uses tiny repulsors to keep the upper section upright while the ball was free to roll in complete motion. (OS)

Motor-sled
This was another name for a repulsorsled. (SWJ10)

Motosurfing
A sport in which a rider uses a motorized sled to race across the water. (SE)

Mott
This swift-moving, herbivorous creature resembled a small hippopotamus, and was native to the planet Naboo. They have sharp claws and small horn on the end of their snouts, all of which were used to dig up the delicate flowers of the Naboo plains. Individual motts can be domesticated, but they often uproot their owner's gardens. Motts were the favored prey of many of Naboo's predators, and the motts evolved to reproduce rapidly. Up to fifteen young were born per litter. Each community of motts was led by a dominant male and, maybe, a lieutenant which guarded the newborns. (GF, WSW)

Mott, Celis
see Mott, Cellis (OWS)

Mott, Cellis
This famous leader of the Nanth'ri Pirates created a list of "ship's articles" used by pirates everywhere. He was a portly, bearded man who wasn't as dashing as he believed himself to be. He kept his eyebrows in the Peluchian style, dyed and trimmed. He suddenly disappeared, and the Nanth'ri Pirates disbanded soon afterward. It was later learned that Mott had been captured by the Alliance, and was en route to an Alliance penal colony when the transport ship Celestial was lost in Otherspace. Mott was part of the group, led by Bane Nothos, that escaped from captivity and took control of the transport, only to be deposited into Otherspace when the ship tried to jump into hyperspace. Mott was severely affected by the Charon's red mist, and went mad aboard the huge ship, the Desolate. Mott was killed when a group of Alliance agents tried to rescue any survivors of the Celestial's crew, in a firefight aboard the the Desolate. He hid a substantial treasure on a remote asteroid, which went undiscovered until Marka Durn located it a few years after Mott's death. (SWJ2, OS, IA)

Motta
This Hutt crimelord was active on the planet Tatooine, during the era of the Great Sith War. He was known to have dealt in slavery, and was one of the few beings that enslaved members of the Rakata race. Motta also controlled the local swoop racing circuit. Motta kept a Rakata 'specimen' in a strange box, which he shipped across the galaxy with a warning to its carrier: never open the box. If the box was opened, the being was transported inside and forced to answer three of the Rakata's question. If the being failed to answer the questions, they were trapped inside the box until Motta opened it himself. The box was a unique device known as a mind prison. The entrapped beings were then sold into slavery by Motta, once he recovered the box. (KOTOR)

Motti, Conan Antonio
This Imperial Admiral was part of Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin's support staff, in command the the Navy forces assigned to the first Death Star prior to the Battle of Yavin. It was believed that he was related to Tarkin by marriage. As a young man, Motti had witnessed the power of the Jedi Knights during the Clone Wars, but he never understood the Force. Instead, he came to rely on technology and its ability to shape the future of the galaxy.

As a supporter of high technology, Motti was a strong proponent of the first Death Star's abilities. Motti had little respect for Darth Vader and his use of the Force to keep officers in line. Admiral Motti once told Darth Vader that he was nothing more than a "sorcerer", and that the Force was an ancient religion that had no value in the new Empire. For this outburst, Vader nearly choken Motti to death using only the Force, hoping to prove to the Admiral the true power of the Force. Although Motti survived this encounter when Tarkin ordered Vader to stop, Motti was killed when the Death Star was destroyed, during the Battle of Yavin. (E4, E4R, DSTC, NEGC, SWI96, DSTR)

Motti, Lithio
This man controlled the mining of megonite moss on the planet Phelarion, several centuries before the onset of the Clone Wars. In order to secure the capital needed to start the mining operation and make it profitable, Lithio Motti married into the Praji family. One of his descendants, Thalassa Motti, later married into the Tarkin family. (OWS)

Motti, Shella
This young woman, the niece of Wilhuff Tarkin and the cousin of Admiral Motti, was kidnapped by the Nebula Front during the early years of the New Order. However, when Governor Tarkin hired a group of freelance agents to rescue her, Shella responded by issuing a statement that she refused to rejoin her family. She even went so far as to hire her own group of agents to ensure she remained free. (GORW)

Motti, Thalassa
This descendant of Lithio Motti inherited the megonite moss mines that were based on Phelarion, and later married into the Tarkin family of Eriadu. (OWS)

Mottled Wrix
This species of wrix, which was native to the planet Corellia, was named for its unusual coloration. (SWG2P)

Mott's Nostril
This was one of the many small openings in the gaseous walls of the Utegetu Nebula. (DN2)

Mou Kei
This was one of the many offensive lightsaber techniques that were taught to the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. It was an advanced technique that employed a circular motion of the lightsaber to dismember an opponent, and was reserved for fighting against the most dangerous of enemies. Mou Kei was also considered a strike discipline, one of the offesnive moves used in Jedi combat. (SWGAL)

Moudama, Foul
This Talz was trained as a Jedi Knight during the last decades of the Old Republic, and at the time, was generally believed to have been the only member of his species to leave his homeworld and join the galactic community. Known for his grace and agility, Moudama was often underestimated by his opponents, who simply believed that he was a hulking brute. He was, however, mentally strong, and had an insatiable desire for knowledge. Moudama was one of the many Jedi who participated in the Clone Wars, and was part of the task force that was dispatched to protect Chancellor Palpatine when General Grievous launched his attack on Coruscant, some thirty-six months after the Battle of Geonosis. Unfortunately, Grievous was able to kill both Master Moudama and Master Roron Corobb before taking Palpatine hostage. (SWDB, LEV, NEGA)

Mouf
This large mammal was native to the jungles of Kashyyyk. (SWGAL)

Moulee-rah
This Huttese word translated into Basic as "money." (GMR5)

Moulee-Rah Patogga
This Besadii kajidic transport was captured on the planet Karnst by a joint team of Jedi Knights and Old Republic forces, after more than 100 metric tons of ryll spice were discovered in her holds. The discovery occurred just before the Battle of Geonosis, and prompted a full-scale investigation of the sources of ryll spice throughout the galaxy. (HNN5)

Mound Mite
This cale-covered insect was native to the planet Tatooine, where it lived in mounds of refuse in cities and towns. (GQRG)

Mounder Flour
This was the most common form of grain flour used in baking on the planet Corellia. (SWGAL)

Mounder Potato Rice
This staple food was found within, and as a side dish to, many Corellian meals. (TNR)

Mount Antas
This mountain, located near the settlement of Ahdjok, was one of the tallest points on the planet Nizon. The mountain shielded Ahdjok from the wind and storms that raged across the nearby desert. During the Imperial occupation of Nizon, the Empire had plans to construct a planetary turbolaser on Mount Antas. The Nazren continued this project after retaking their homeworld, and put the turbolaser to use in defending their homeworld from outside invasion. The interior of Mount Antas was hollowed out by the Nazren and representatives from the New Republic, so that computer systems could be housed there. These computers were put to use in helping the surviving Nazren redevelop the settlement of Ahdjok. (WOTC)

Mount Avos
This large mountain, part of the Hormack range found on the planet Troiken, overlooked the Lycinder Plain. The mountain was once a source of spice during the Old Republic, but the mines dried up quickly. (SHW)

Mount Berin
This Garosian peak was situated on the outskirts of Zila. (SWJ3)

Mount Corvast
This volcanic mountain was located on the planet Sarapin. (NECH)

Mount Dagger
Former name of the highest mountain peak on Dagobah. It was renamed Mount Yoda following the Battle of Endor. (MMY)

Mount Deldarca
This active volcano was the site of the Alliance base known as Dalgeer's Rim. The base of the volcano was riddled with caverns and tunnels which had been formed from lava flows, which made the location ideal because much of the excavation work was already done. (HAS)

Mount Hollow
This extinct volcano, located on the planet Velusia, was the property of the Nexcore Mining Corporation during the last decades of the Old Republic. NMC established a small city and a spaceport inside the shaft of Mount Hollow, allowing NMC to control its operations from a single location. The operations within Mount Hollow were split into four layers. The lowest layer was originally set aside for the Aquar laboreres who worked for NMC, but it eventually became a sort of slum where unemployed Aquar eked out miserable existences. The next layer up served as the living quarters fof NMC's executives. The second layer from the top contained hotels, casinos, and holovid theaters, serving as the entertainment district. The topmost layer served as the spaceport, which had four landing pads that could accommodate large transport vessels. (CCW)

Mount Hugo
Named for Hugo Bartyn, this mountain was the tallest peak in the range known as the Krakana's Maw, located on the planet Lamaredd. It was on the slopes of Mount Hugo that the Bartyn family estate was erected, overlooking Bartyn's Landing. Beneath the mountain, a series of tunnels and caves were excavated by the Outer Rim Oreworks corporation, many of which remained actively mined by droids and other automata for more than 500 years. The Menahuun took control of many of these caves as their own, including the cavern known as Hua'Bal. (GMR7)

Mount Ison
This immense, snow-covered mountain was the tallest peak in the North Ridge chain, found on the planet Hoth. (IWST)

Mount Merakan
This was the tallest mountin found on the planet Maramere. Located in the planet's oceans, it also formed the planet's largest island. (JSF)

Mount Meru
This mountain, located on the planet Drogheda, was the site of the planet's primary mining operations. Much of the planet's economy was based on the ores and minerals mined from Mount Meru. (LTA6, MC83)

Mount Meru
This great mountain was the site of the Jedi Assembly speech on Deneba, during the months leading up to the Great Sith War.. (DA, COTF, DLS)

Mount Mogaar
This was one of the tallest mountain peaks found on the planet Naalol. (GMR5)

Mount of Justice
This immense building was located on a natural outcropping that was found in the capital city of the planet Holess. The Mount of Justice served as the primary judicial venue in the city, where cases of planetary or galactic importance were heard and judged. The building, which resembled more of a cathedral than a courthouse, was often compared to the Tower of Law, but the Mount of Justice was much more central to the lives of the native Holessians, who made regular pilgrimages to the mountain. Access to the building was only available to those beings who were willing to follow the roadway that wound around the mountain. Those beings who chose not to make the ascent could follow legal proceedings by watching the massive holoscreen that was erected above the entryway to the courtrooms. (MF)

Mount Scich'tl
This worn-down peak was located on the planet Barab I. (EGP)

Mount Skar'lak
This huge, inactive volcano was located on the planet Lwhekk. (EGP)

Mount Sorrow
This mountain was located on the Forest Moon of Endor. Mount Sorrow was unusual because the area aorund its summit was sentient. On a whim, it could blow people off itself with a gust of wind, or it could literally cry tears that had healing powers. (ECAR)

Mount Ste'vshuulsz
This mountain, a jagged mound of shale and rock, was located on the planet Barab I. (FH2)

Mount Tantiss
This mountain, located on the planet Wayland, was considered a a forbidden place by both the Psadan and Myneyrsh races. This made it the perfect location for Emperor Palpatine to hide his collection of valuable artifacts and extreme technology, including a cloaking device and the Spaarti cylinders used for cloning. The main purpose of the Mount Tantiss installation was to protect and preserve the new technologies in case of the Emperor's death. To this end, the Emperor placed a Guardian to watch over the installation. Joruus C'baoth later arrived on Wayland and defeated the Guardian, taking control of the Imperial interests there, but was unable to maintain control of the world. In the aftermath of Grand Admiral Thrawn's reign of terror, C'baoth confronted Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade within its living areas. In the battle of light and dark, Luke and Mara defeated the clone Luuke Skywalker and C'baoth, but the release of dark-side energy brought much of the mountain down in a huge explosion. Nearly everything in the storehouse was destroyed, and the mountain itself was shattered. It later collapsed under its own weight, reducing itself to a slope of rocky debris. Some years later, a clan of Noghri established a dukha at the foot of Mount Tantiss, as a reminder of the betrayal their race suffered at the hands of the Empire. (HTTE, TLC, SOP, GMR10)

Mount Thunderstone
Located on the Forest Moon of Endor, this craggy mountain was believed to have been the home of the evil witch, Morag, during the height of the New Order. (ECAR)

Mount Thunderstorm
see Mount Thunderstone (MECAR)

Mount Umate
It was believed that this was one of the highest peaks found in the Manarai Mountain range, located on the planet Coruscant. It was at the peak of Umate that Monument Park was created. By the time the park was opened, just a small piece of stone was all that was visible. This stone became known as KnobHead, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong War. (CCW, LF9)

Mount Usca
Located on Garos IV, this peak was the site of some of the planet's richest hibridium mines. (EGP, SWJ5)

Mount Yeroc
Located on the planet Tahlboor, this mountain contained the sky cannon. The mount was controlled by the Hobors for many generations, with only a few individuals knowing that the mountain could be used to communicate with the planet. (DRPC)

Mount Yoda
The highest mountain peak on Dagobah, it was the home of a secret Alliance outpost used by DRAPAC. It was also the site of Dagobah Tech. (MMY)

Mountain Dewback

Mountain Murra
This subspecies of murra was native to the mountainous regions of the planet Corellia. (SWG2P)

Mountain Nerf
This species of nerf evolved on the planet Fennesa, after a group of colonists brought them to the rocky world. Originally from the main stock of nerfs from the planet Alderaan, mountain nerfs on Fennesa have adapted to life in mountainous terrain over several thousand years. This led to a problem for the colonists, as the nerfs were able to hide in the crags and crevices of the mountains and were hard to capture for shearing or slaughter. The saliva of the mountain nerf contained an acidic compound that helped them digest food. This saliva was not poisonous to the colonists, but could produce a burn on the skin if not washed away. (WOTC, NEGA)

Mountain Nikto
This was the common name of the Esral'sa'Nikto race. (GG12, NEGA)

Mountain of Discovery
This was the name given to the rugged peak within the Cetajan Range where the Sith starship Omen crash-landed on Kesh, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The name was given to the mountain by Commander Yaru Korsin, when he first met with the native Keshiri. The Keshiri regarded the Sith as the Skyborn from their legends, and Korsin immediately took advantage of this. (LTS2)

Mountain Squill
This subspecies of squill was native to the rocky hills and mountain ranges of the planet Tatooine. (GQRG)

Mountain Terrain Armored Transport
see MT-AT (DA)

Mountain Terrain Scout Transport

Mountains of Lightning
This crystalline rock formation, found near the city of Hweg Shul on Nam Chorios, was thought to be the source of the strange Force lightning storms which sweep the planet's valleys. Seti Ashgad maintained a residence there. (POT)

Mountains of the Exalted
This mountain range was found on the planet Ylesia. The beautiful peaks were located near Colony One, and the Altar of Promises was located at their base. They were so named because the t'landa Til priests stand with the mountains at their backs during Exultations. (TPS)

Mourning Glory
This was the name of Grov Bricker's pirate ship, used during the height of the New Order. (PH)

Mouse
This was the codename used by a Duros agent who served the Alliance during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Mouse was forced to play the part of a stormtrooper during the raid on the Imperial labor colony on Kalist VI, about eight months after the Battle of Yavin, which was staged in order to rescue Jorin Sol. When the team discovered hundreds of Jabiimi slaves on Kalist VI, they altered their plans so that the slaves could be rescued as well. However, these new plans had to be accelerated when Janek Sunber discovered that Lieutenant Jundland was actually his childhood friend, Luke Skywalker. When Sunber discovered that Luke was a member of the Alliance, he sounded the alarm. As the Alliance team tried to speed up their rescue, Mouse was still trying to plant the explosives that were to have created a diversion. He set as many as he could before he was intercepted by another stormtrooper unit, who recognized that he wasn't what he seemed. Mouse was forced to remove his helmet and reveal his true identity, but not before he managed to set the protocols that would detonate the explosives. He managed to escape briefly, but was eventually caught and killed by the other stormtroopers. His sacrifice was one of the main reasons that the Alliance mission was successful, as the explosions he set off created enough of a diversion for the agents to rescue Jorin Sol and the Jabiimi slaves. (SWEWW)

Mouse Droid
This was another name for the smaller versions of MSE droids, specifically the MSE-6 unit. These black, trapezoidal droids rolled around on six wheels. (ISB, COJ, DF)

Mouse-spider
This small arachnid was native to the jungles of the planet Kashyyyk. (LSSM)

Mousul
This Ansionian represented his planet as a Senator to the Old Republic, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He was one of the many supporters of the secession movement which sprang up as the Old Republic began to crumble, following the Battle of Naboo. He allied himself with Shu Mai, and agreed that Ansion would serve as the lynchpin of the secession movement. He had correctly represented his people as fractious beings who cared little for the Republic's endless laws and requirements, and believed that there was no possibility of the city dwellers agreeing to a treaty with the nomads which would keep Ansion a member of the Republic. However, he was unable to foresee the work of the Jedi Knights in persuading the two factions of Ansionians to define a common ground and sign the treaty, which allowed Ansion to remain part of the Republic. Despite this setback, Senator Mousul remained loyal to Shu Mai, who decided to maintain the Senator's support despite the loss of Ansion. (APS)

Mouth of the Ancestors
This unusual translation device was used by the Rajah of Virjuansi to speak with off-worlders who were visiting the Palace of Splendid Harmony. (SWI72)

Moutil, Barr
This Imperial Navy Captain commanded the Interdictor cruiser Stellar Web, in the service of Admiral Rogriss. (SOC)

Movator
This was a moving walkway which passed through an elevated tube. Movators were used to connect sealed domes on remote worlds which had no atmosphere, or a very polluted or toxic atmosphere. However, individual movators tubes were not self-sealing. Any breach would simply trigger the blast doors at either end to close down, isolating the tube until the breach could be repaired. (GSE)

Movers, Nack
This Trandoshan was a noted killer and thug who inhabited the G17 district of Coruscant' Galactic City, during the final years of the Old Republic. During the height of the Clone Wars, Movers purchased a working Jedi lightsaber from Bannamu, unaware that the weapon's owner, Ahsoka Tano, was still alive and was searching for the weapon. Unfortunately for Ahsoka, by the time she and Jedi Master Tera Sinube reached Movers' apartment, he had already been killed. The two Jedi discovered Ione Marcy at the apartment, and although the thin being claimed that she had found Movers already dead, Master Sinube sensed something different in the Force. The Jedi later discovered that Marcy had been working with Cassie Cryar at the time, and that the pair had killed Nack Movers in order to steal the lightsaber. The Jedi were able to track down the two female criminals and apprehend them. (CWTV33)

MoveSense 34
This top-of-the-line BlasTech motion sensor was often regarded as too sophisticated for its own good. When installed in a tight pattern, the MoveSense 34 will trigger during a slight breeze. This was due to quiality components, but also to the fact that the MoveSense 34 monitors average air density surrounding it. (CFG)

Moving Day
This was the name used by the ancient Keshiri to describe the day on which the Sith who survived the crash of the Omen were moved off the mountain where the ship came to rest. The Sith had been discovered by Adari Vaal, who convinced the Neshtovar to rescue the Sith and bring them to the village of Tahv. (LTS2)

Moving Meditation
This was a form of active meditation that was practiced by many of the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. Rather than remaining in a single position and entering a meditative trance, those Jedi who preferred moving meditation engaged in a relaxing activity. This allowed their minds to remain active without requiring a great deal of concentration and thought. Anakin Skywalker often used this relaxing technique during the Clone Wars, turning his attention to the repair of machinery to take his mind off the struggles and ravages of the war. (RNML)

Movn
This Alliance shuttle was destroyed by Imperial forces, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War, while it was accompanying a group of starships led by the cruiser Trident. (TIEP)

Movris
This planet was located in the Noonian Sector. It was surmised that a cell of Alliance support was located there, since foodstuffs stolen from Nebula Consumables were traced to the planet. (SWJ2)

Mowadan, Momaw
This Ithorian served as the doctor who managed the Kuari Princess's infirmary. (RM)

Mowen, Enger
This grotesquely obese human was an Imperial recruiter who worked on the Ihtorian herdship Bazaar. His favorite ploy was to plant rumors that he was actually an Alliance recruiter, and got his business associates to forward prospective recruits to him. He then turned their names over to the Imperial Security Bureau, who rounded them up and arrested them. (GA)

Mowgle
A temperate, agricultural planet which had not developed a high level of technology. (SN)

Moyan
This black-furred, male Bothan served as a Colonel in the Galactic Alliance military, and served under Admiral Tarla Limpan as the starfighter coordinator aboard the battle carrier Dodonna some ten years after the war with the Yuuzhan Vong. Colonel Moyan was assigned to assimilate any assistance from Leia Organa Solo in the coordination of the Dodonna's starfighters during the blockade of the Corellian System. However, neither Moyan nor Admiral Limpan were aware that Leia was going to everything in her power to ensure that Corellian pilots of Operation Noble Savage - including her own husband, Han - completed their mission without being killed by GA pilots. In the wake of the conflict over Tralus, Moyan remained unaware that he was being used by Leia, and even commended her recommendations. (LF1, LF4)

Moz
This was the nickname chosen by clone trooper CT-6200/8901. Moz was one of the many clone troopers who were killed during the Grand Army of the Republic's assault on the city of Eyat, on the planet Gaftikar, during the height of the Clone Wars. He was later given a proper burial by members of Omega Squad, despite the fact that Omega Squad learned that Moz and Olun had actually been covert ops agents charged with eliminating the rogue ARC Trooper known as Sull. (RCTC, RC66)

Moza
This Ithorian was one of the caretakers of the Ithorian Vivarium on Citadel Station, in orbit around Telos, during the years following the Jedi Civil War. (KOTOR2)

This temperate world was the third planet in the Empress Teta System, and was orbited by a pair of moons. (PH)

Mozz Box
This was a musical instrument which was developed by the jizz wailers of the New Order. (WOTC)

MP5
This was a model of blaster rifle that was produced during the early years of the New Republic. (JKAP)

Mpon, Kal
An Arcona, and father to Kal Nkai. When his Grand Nest was raided by another clan, Kal Mpon and his son left to find their own existence on Cona. They set out to live off the land, but Kal Mpon was killed when he got too close to one of Cona's predatory plants. The plant issued a colorless, odorless gas, which Kal Mpon inhaled. The gas killed him instantly. (SCRE)

MPS
This small corporation manufactured shipboard power cores, including the BPr-99 unit that was used on the A-Wing starfighter. (SCRE, TSC)

MPTL
see Mobile Proton Torpedo Launcher (SWDB)

MPTL 17
This was Bryn & Gweith's mini-proton torpedo launcher, used by ground-based strongholds to defend against aerial invasion. (HAS)

MPTL-2a
This was an updated version of the Mobile Proton Torpedo Launcher produced by Loratus Manufacturing, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Like many other Loratus designs, the MPTL-2a was developed specifically for the Alliance as a ground-based assault platform. Measuring twenty-seven meters in length, the MPTL-2a was developed from the plans for the Mobile Proton Torpedo Launcher. It was manufactured with lighter materials and better drive systems, in order to overcome the lack of maneuverability that plagued the original MPTL. However, this meant that the MPTL-2a was somewhat unstable when its weapons were fired, and gription stabilizers were added to improve stability. The MPTL-2a was armed with nine proton launcher tubes, and targetting was accomplished with a spotter droid or scout unit to help establish sensor-lock on remote targets. However, the lack of defensive weaponry meant that the MPTL-2a had to be escorted into combat. (SWDB)

Mqaaq'it
This unusual creature was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong as a form of replacement eye. The Supreme Overlord, Shimrra, was one of the most prominent members of their society to use mqaaq'it implants. The mqaaq'it implants employed by Shimrra changed colors to match his current mood. (DW, UF)

MR-9
This series of humanoid housekeeping droids was used by the Empire. They were similar in many respects to a short, simple 3PO protocol droid. (POM)

Mradhe
This was a form of (plant? animal?) which produces a slimy muck. (SOP)

Mrahash
A crimelord and authority figure from the planet Kvabja. Mara Jade claimed to have a gift from the Mrahash to Chay Praysh, in an effort to gain entrance to Praysh's fortress during her attempt to rescue Sansia Bardrin. The Drach'nma guards let her in, but Praysh put in a call to the Mrahash himself to verify the delivery. When the Mrahash claimed to have no knowledge of the gift, Praysh immediately had Mara detained. (TFNR)

M'rak, Yade
This Corellian smuggler was addicted to gambling, and spent most of his earnings betting on the podraces which were popular during the last decades of the Old Republic. Yade was forced t set up a makeshift base on the planet Tatooine, after losing most of his belongings on a bet with Gardulla the Hutt. He made his money smuggling black market weaponry. (CCG13)

Mrash
This was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "gives no mercy". (GCG)

MREM-02
This was the designation of the droid known as Urahasam Moreemohtwo. (T7)

Mrid
This small beast, native to the planet Velmor, was the favored target of the royal family. Mrids were ancient natives of Velmor, and had developed fantastic survival instincts. Large numbers of mrids were bred for sport, to be released when a ceremonial hunt was held. Part of the sport was locating the small, four-legged creatures, which could hide virtually anywhere. (LTA2, MC49)

Mriss
This was the name of a single member of the Mrissi race. (TLC)

Mriss artwork
Traditionally two-dimensional paintings and planics. (TLC)

Mrissi
The native sentient species of the planet Mrisst, the Mrissi cultures were noted for their primarily two-dimensional art. An avian race descended from flying animals, the Mrissi no longer have the ability to fly. They were known in the galaxy as educators and administrators, and were very knowledgeable about the politics of the known galaxy. (TLC, TTSB)

Mrisst
A planet located by the 10th Alderaanian Expedition, Mrisst was the homeworld of the Mrissi species. It was singled out by Thrawn as a feint point for the Corsucant attack. It was located in the GaTir System. The average day on Mrisst lasted about 20 standard hours, and its year encompasses 278 local days. (DFR, TLC, WG, TTSB)

Mrisst Trade and Science Academy
An institute of higher learning located on Mrisst, the MTSA provided high-quality education to those beings who were unable to attend one of the Imperial Academies. (LCSB, TTSB, WG)

Mrkeesh
This was one of the many cities found on the planet Mrlsst. (HNN4)

Mrlssese
This was the name given to the native language of the Mrlssi. (ANT)

Mrlssi
This avian race, first encountered by the Old Republic some 7,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, was native to the planet Mrlsst. They were short in stature, and walk upright. They have large, black eyes, blunt noses, and beautifully-colored feathers. However, they were not born with coloration to their feathers. Babies were born with dusky-brown plumage which developed color with age. They pride themselves on their plumage, and bright, full plumage was often regarded as idyllic. They were also a tehnologically advanced race, as demonstrated in the creation of the Phantom cloaking device. However, this advance also brought out the Mrlssti deviousness. They showed themselves to be manipulative and conniving in their dealing with Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron a few years after the Battle of Endor. Note that this species was referred to as Mrlssti in Alien Encounters. (XWPA, PGT, AE, UANT)

Mrlssi Half-hitch
This was one of the more complicated knots known in the galaxy, developed by the Mrlssi during the last decades of the Old Republic. (YDR)

Mrlsst
This swamp-covered planet was one of two worlds in the Tapani Sector of the galaxy on which humans were not the dominant species. After the fall of Emperor Palpatine at Endor, Mrlsst aligned itself with the New Republic. Wedge Antilles and his Rogue Squadron of X-Wing pilots were escorting a supply convoy to the planet when they were ambushed at Cilpar. This was the homeworld of the Mrlssi race of avians. The Rogues ended up on Mrlsst again, during the negotiations for the Phantom cloaking device. (XWRS, XWPA)

Mrlsst
This New Republic CR90 Corvette was part of the force sent to liberate the planet Ciutric from the control of Prince-Admiral Krennel. It supported the flagship Emancipator, along with several other Corvettes and a trio of Nebulon-B frigates. It took heavy fire during the battle, and was left for dead. (IR)

Mrlsst Academy
The primary institute of higher learning on Mrlsst, it was here that the Phantom cloaking device was developed. It was also here, years ago, that the Jedi Taj Junak made his final stand against Palpatine's forces. (XWPA)

Mrlsst Center for Linguistic Studies
Located in the city of Mrkeesh, on Mrlsst, this university was dedicated to the study of language and its development throughout the galaxy. At the time of the Clone Wars, the university had been in operation for 800 years, cataloging and cross-translation of all forms of verbal communication in the galaxy. It had become a common training ground for diplomats and businessbeings throughout the Old Republic. (HNN4)

Mrlsst Motorworks
This Mrlssti vehicle maker produced a variety of flitters and speeders for use by the Mrlsst, including the MVD-1 flitter. (LOE)

Mroc
This Nociv was one of the elder leaders of his people, during the Galactic Civil War. (LAT3)

Mronk
This male Wookiee was the co-owner of the Comet Broom Service agency, which helped patrol the Cularin Comet Cloud during the final years of the Old Republic. Mronk and his partner, Rroorgli, found themselves in competition with the rival agency, Comet Busters. Both Mronk and Rroorgli were eager to comply with the investigation into the comet that struck the Fricasseed Nerf, and were surprised and confused when data on the comet was no longer found in their records. The two Wookiees agreed to provide a copy of the data they sent to Cularin SpaceNav Control, along with a copy of the data that was sent to the nearest navigational beacon, in an effort to help clear up the mystery. Unfortunately, the Dark Jedi who was behind the mysterious comet tracked down the two Wookiees and killed them before they could provide any more data on the comet. (AYS)

MRR
This was Alliance fighter pilot slang for the food they were fed after they were captured by Imperial forces. MRR actually stands for "meals ready to regurgitate." (XWES)

Mrrov
This orange-and-white-striped Togorian female was the promised mate of Muuurgh. She became bored with society on Togoria, and chose to leave the planet and explore the galaxy, much to the dismay of Muuurgh. Mrrov left her world, and traveled for some years before landing on Ylesia. She was pursued all the while by Muuurgh. On Ylesia, Mrrov fell under the attractive spell of the t'landa Til who ran the worship of the Oneness, and was enslaved at Colony Two. After Muuurgh and Han Solo were able to escape from Colony One, they rescued Mrrov from Colony Two in a daring escapade. They fled to Togoria, where Mrrov and Muuurgh were eventually married. They had two cubs, a male and a female, before they rejoined Han and Bria during the Battle of Ylesia. She sustained several injuries, and lost an eye, in the battle,but was otherwise unharmed. (TPS, RD)

MRX-BR Pacifier
This exploration starship, designed and manufacturer by Sydon Vehicle Works, was so well-armed that it could be classified as a light fighter. It measured 25 meters in length, and was capable of hyperspace travel. Minimum armament included a pair of proton torpedo launchers and three laser cannons. During the New Order, it had been the Empire's scout ship of choice, especially when additional weaponry allowed it quickly subjugate any new worlds it encountered. It required a pilot to fly, and could carry up to three passengers and 10 cubic meters of cargo. The ship's sensors were capable of counting the leaves on a single tree from orbit, and its weapons systems were tightly-controlled by the ship's onboard computers. All of this meant that the bat-shaped Pacifier was equally useful as a contact ship and as an assault vessel. Note that No Disintegrations denotes this craft as the MBR-RX Pacifier. (GG6, GG8, VOF, ND)

Mrykos
This was one of the three barren moons of Atraken. (PG2)

MS/8
This was the designation of the morning work shift at Santhe/Sienar Technologies. (ML)

MS-1
This Taim & Bak heavy laser cannon was produced for use on the Imperial AT-AT walker. (CCS)

MS-1
This model of Borstel ion cannon was produced during the height of the New Order. It was believed that 2,500 of these weapons were installed aboard the first Death Star. (CCS)

MS-133
This Imperial research team was working on the planet Aaris III during the early years of the New Republic, trying to unlock the secrets of the ancient Aaris civilization. They had discovered the Aaris Artifact in the Place of Kastays, and was trying to discern its operations when the primtive Aaris began attacking them. Their SOS calls were answered by the crew of the FarStar. (DARK)

MS-15
This diamond boron missile was developed by Sienar Fleet Systems. The MS-15 wasn't a weapon itself, but was a high-strength carrier for a variety of explosive warheads. The diamond boron construction allowed the MS-15 to penetrate virtually any starship hull. However, these devices were prohibitively expensive, and even the Empire gave up on using them. (EGW)

MS-19
This was the codename of a Siener Fleet Systems warhead, with the capability to pass through most forms of shielding to strike at its target. The MS-19 was self-guiding, and was sure to give the struggling Empire a chance to defeat the New Republic. Information on the MS-19 had been passed from the Squib trio of Grees, Sligh, and Emala to the Invisible Shell. Ludlo Lebauer, acting chairman of the Invisible Shell, then made sure that the information was passed onto the New Republic Intelligence agency. Unfortunately for the Squibs, Ludlo discovered that the MS-19 never existed, and that they had been passing him false information for months. Angry that the Squibs had used him to make a quick profit, Lebauer had Grees captured and frozen in carbonite. Ludlo later revealed to Leia Organa Solo that the information on the MS-19 was bogus. (SWI67)

M-s3
This model of Seinar Fleet Systems concussion missile launching system was used on the TIE Bomber. (SCRE, TSC)

M-s-3

MS-4
This Taim & Bak twin blaster cannon was produced for use on the Imperial AT-ST walker. (CCS)

MSD
This was the common acronym used for minimum safe distance. (DSTR)

MSD-32
This was the designation of Merr-Sonn Munition's handheld disruptor pistol. Like other disruptor weapons, the MSD-32 fired an energy blast that caused the target's molecules to become excited and lose cohesion, leading to the utter annihiliation of the target. This disintegrative affect made them illegal in most parts of the galaxy, althought he MSD-32 was actually commissioned for use by Imperial agents. Because of its destructive capability, the MSD-32 was a heavily-guarded secret, and the Imperial Security Bureau spent a great deal of time tracking down individual weapons that were lost or stolen. Eventually, the effort to conceal the existence of the MSD-32 became too great, and the Empire ordered its production stopped. All records of the MSD-32 were erased from Merr-Sonn's computers, and individuals assigned to the development and manufacture were either executed or sent to the Spice Mines of Kessel. (FOP, AEG)

MSD-36
This was a model of heavy disruptor pistol produced by Merr-Sonn. (WSV)

MSE-15
A series of cleaning droids. (COJ)

MSE-1T
This was believed to have been the first of the MSE droids produced by Rebaxan Columni. It found its way into the droid pool that was owned by Star Tours, during the era of the Galactic Civil War. (ST, SWI104)

MSE-4
This droid, produced by Rebaxan Columin during the final years of the Old Republic, was considered the forerunner to the MSE-6. These small, rolling droids could perform a wide range of tasks. On Mustafar, scores of MSE-4 units were programmed to detect problems with the life-support systems that protected the lava refineries on the planet. (NEGD)

MSE-5
This was a general-purpose droid produced prior to the introduction of the MSE-6. It was generally believed that the MSE-5 series was marketed by Rebaxan Columni as a test, to see if the galaxy was ready to accept the MSE-6. (GCQ, NEGD)

MSE-6
This was the designation of Rebaxan Columni's general purpose droid, produced during the height of the New Order. The MSE-6 was heavily advertised and promoted in over 400 sectors. Designed to look like the creature known as a pleeky, the MSE-6 was produced after test-runs of the MSE-4 and MSE-5 series proved moderately successful. While many trillions were sold throughout the galaxy, billions were returned because their emissions were similar to those of various species of pests. The galaxy generally detested the little droids, and Rebaxan faced bankruptcy. The company ended up selling them to the Empire at a small loss. The Empire used these small, ten-inch-tall droids to fill the need for cheap, reliable labor. These boxy little droids, known as Mouse Droids because of their size, were easily programmed to perform class-three tasks, such as message delivery, in nearly every Imperial outpost, including the Death Star. A pair of manipulator arms were hidden inside the droid's shell, allowing the MSE-6 to perform minor repairs. (ISB, SW, TLC, NEGD)

MSE-6-E629L
This messenger droid was part of the pool maintained aboard the Iron Fist. It was also one of the first droids reprogrammed by the astromech Tonin, on the orders of Lara Notsil. MSE-6-E619L often assumed the identity of MSE-6-P303K, which Tonin use for other purposes. (SOC)

MSE-6-P303K
This messenger droid was part of the pool maintained aboard the Iron Fist. It was also one of the first droids reprogrammed by the astromech Tonin for subversive activities, on the orders of Lara Notsil. MSE-6-P303K was instrumental in acquiring holocam access to parts of the ship, as well as obtaining information on the Iron Fist's schematics. With these schematics, Lara discovered the secret labs Zsinj maintained to house the work of the Binring Biomedical team on board the ship. (SOC)

MSE-9
A series of general purpose droids that have often served as security guards. (SN)

MSE-series Droid
This was the general term used to describe the small, boxy general-purpose droids that were produced by Rebaxan Columni during the final years of the Old Republic and into the era of the New Order. Built to resemble the pleeky creature of Chad, the MSE-series was little more than a box on wheels. Their onboard computer systems were minimal, requiring the use of moduler C-matrix board to provide specific programming. In this way, a single MSE-series droid could perform a wide range of tasks, depending on what was programmed on its C-matrix. Although production of the MSE-series droids ended with the MSE-6, many of these droids were reprogrammed during the war against the Yuuzhan Vong to seek out alien invaders who had infiltrated the Galactic Alliance. Known as YVH-M droids, these units combined the MSE-series small size with the processor of a YVH 1 combat droid. (NEGD)

MSE-X-PR6
This excentric droid was, at one time, a standard mouse droid assigned to the Imperial research base on Binaros. It was programmed to shuttle messages between the research personnel, so it's skill matrix was removed and replaced with a volcabulator. The droid's holographic projector and manipulator arm were removed to allow for several storage spaces for datapads and other objects. Because of the droid's many modifications, it developed an enjoyment of petty theft and the acquisition of shiny objects. Among the objects MSE-X-PR6 collected was a thermal detonator and an artifact recovered by the research team from their temple base. (KO)

MSF
This variant of the MSE-6 mouse droid was produced by the droid manufacturing center on Uffel, during the early years of the New Order. The MSF was given programming to allow it to perform minor repairs, and it was given a small repulsorlift engine to allow it to maneuver in tight spaces. The profits from the sale of MSF droids allowed QS-2D to buy out Riboga the Hutt and take control of Uffel outright. (LFC)

MSF-F2
This droid was the original prototype of the MSF-series line produced on the moon of Uffel. MSF-F2 was on the only type of its kind kept on Uffel by QS-2D, and it was programmed to follow any visitors to the moon in order to keep QS-2D aware of their activities. (LFC)

M'shento'su'Nikto
One of the five Nikto races, the M'shento'su'Nikto were commonly known as the Southern Nikto. These Nikto had yellow scales, and lacked the facial horns of the other four species. Instead, the Southern Nikto had a multitude of breather tubes which protruded from the back of their skull, which acted as ultrasonic sensory organs. (GG12, EGA, NEGA)

M'shinn
This was the term used to describe a single member of the M'shinni race. (GG12, ANT)

M'shinni
This strange race of humanoids was characterized by their outer coating of plant material. They were often referred to as Mossies. The M'shinni people (an individual in called a M'shinn) were skilled botanists and traders, and live in close-knit families. The M'shinni plant-like skin covers all but the palms of their hands and the soles of their feet. It ranges in color from pale yellows through vibrant greens to dark emeralds, depending on the type of star they live near. The plant covering begins to wither when natural sunlight was not available, and will die completely after ten sunless days. This plant material lives in a symbiotic relationships with the M'shinni flesh, feeding upon sweat and dead skin cells while supplying nutrients and moisture. M'shinni give birth was done by cloning cells of the female's body. This parthenogenic reproduction had instilled a strong sense of family ties in the M'shinni, who show an unassailable allegiance to their own familial Rootline. The M'shinni evolved on the planet Genassa, but have spread throughout the galaxy with the discovery of the hyperdrive. They have long been members of the Old Republic, providing their unique terraforming practices to the Republic in return for technologies they do not possess. However, the M'shinni were also opportunistic, and were known to have driven the Skirlling off their homeworld in order to turn it into an agricultural planet. They tried to remain neutral during the Galactic Civil War, dealing with the Empire at arm's length while secretly aiding the Alliance. (GG12, ANT)

M'shinni Sector
This area of the galaxy was located along the Celanon Spur. (GG12)

M'sluss
This name was commonly given to Quarren males, and meant "good-humored" or "comical". (GCG)

M-SMS
This was the designation of the Merr-Sonn Missile System developed for use by Imperial rocket troopers. The M-SMS was a simplified version of the basic rocket launcher, lacking any form of homing or heat-seeking capabilities. Because the weapon had to be carried while in flight, it was armed with just three missiles to cut down on weight. (WOTC)

Msqito
This was a species of two-meter-long, flying insect that was native to the forests of Kubindi. (MIS6)

MSS-C-342A
This was Loronar's most popular Corporate-class modular unit, which provided a pre-selected configuration of the most useful outpost station elements. It included a landing bay, command center, garage, airlocks, and lab space. (HAS)

Msst
This planet was seemingly named for the dense mists that shroud its surface. This Rim world was a major Imperial stronghold until it was abandoned after the truce at Bakura. Much of the planet's ecology was destroyed by the Empire, which ravaged Msst's crystal swamps to generate credits. (TNR)

MST-3K
A container group. This was a reference to the Comedy Channel's Mystery Science Theatre 3000 television show. (TIE)

mstrslcr
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. Many months later, mstrslcr claimed to have intercepted a transmission from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, bound for the Almas Academy. Although unsure of what to do with the message, mstrslcr placed an unedited copy on the newsnets of Cularin for all to see and read. He claimed that he had no love for the Jedi Knights, but also that he was concerned about the transmission's authencity. These conflicting ideals made him pause, albeit for a couple of days, before releasing it to the newsnets. The transmission itself was damning to the Almas Academy, citing "lack of leadership presence, inconsistent visioning, and policy avoidance" as the key reasons the school should be closed down, and all personnel reassigned to other locations. (LFCW)

MSW-9
This was the designation of Xana Exotic Arms' molecular stiletto. The blade on this weapon measured thirty centimeters in length when extended, and was made up of a mono-molecular material that was fragile but extremely deadly. (ROE, AEG)

MT/191
This was the designation of a dropship that was manufactured by Meller & Dax for the Empire, during the height of the New Order. This 52.5-meter craft was armed with a single light laser cannon. Before each drop, the MT/191 was coated with VACX, which provided an added layer of protection during atmospheric entry. The VACX was burned off during re-entry, and needed to be replaced before each drop. The MT/191 required a single pilot to operate, and could transport up to 160 troops and 200 metric tons of cargo. (ISB)

MT-16
A modified version of the Incom T-16, built by the New Republic Engineering Corporation, the MT-16 was a combat speeder. (HTSB)

MT-5
This hyperdrive unit manufactured on Kalarba by the Pitareeze family. The MT-5 was considered legendary among spacers of all kinds, and it was known for its speed and dependability. (DRO, TGD)

MTA
This acronym was used to describe a Multi-Tasking Assistant. (CN2)

MT-AT
These Mountain Terrain Armored Transports were developed by the Empire on the planet Carida, for use in attacking positions that were located in mountainous or rugged terrain, where a standard AT-AT could not maneuver. Derived from a smaller vehicle known as the MT-ST, the MT-AT was a late-model Imperial walker that had been tested on Carida for some time, during the last stages of the Galactic Civil War and during the early years of the New Order. The MT-AT had eight legs with highly-articulated joints, and clawed "feet" that employ mild explosives to better grip the terrain. It was deployed from a capital ship in a cocoon-shaped drop ship, which protected the MT-AT by enclosing it in bistate gel. The gel was fluid during descent, which helps dissipate the frictional heat of atmospheric entry. The gel was hardened by the dropship's droid brain just before impact, cushioning the MT-AT. When the dropship was safely landed, the cocoon cracked open to allow the MT-AT to emerge. The abdomen of the MT-AT had three sections: a forward cockpit, a middle drive pod, and a bulbous rearward cargo section. Also nicknamed spider walkers, they could climb an almost-vertical mountain face. The body and legs were studded with weapons, with laser cannons at each joint and a pair of blaster cannons mounted on the cockpit. The MT-AT was first used against the New Republic by Furgan of Carida, during his assault on Anoth, where he tried to capture the infant Anakin Solo. The MT-AT performed quite well, despite the presence of the Foreign Intruder Defense Organism. (DA, COTF, EGV, PH)

M-TD
This was the name of the small, face-shaped, miniature translation droid built by C-3PO and Chewbacca to help Chewie's nephew, Lowbacca, communicate with the students and instructors at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. When Lowie was kidnapped by Tamith Kai, she had Em Teedee reprogrammed to spout Imperial doctrine whenever he talked with Lowie. The little droid was quickly repaired by Jaina Solo and Lowie upon his return to the Jedi Academy, and given the ability to communicate in six unique langauges.

As the other student on Yavin 4 learned more and more of the Wookiee language, M-TD's primary function became less important. However, with the help of other students, he obtained new programming and learned new ways to be of assistance, including rudimentary starship navigation and systems operation. M-TD proved useful in starship repair and communications, as well as remote computer slicing. During a mission to Mechis III to discuss Bornan Thul's disappearance with his brother, Tyko Thul, Jaina Solo installed a ring of microrepulsorjets around M-TD's outer edge, allowing the small droid to move about on it own, rather being carried on Lowbacca's belt.

During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, M-TD was lost when Lowbacca managed to escape from the Tachyon Flier. The small droid was destroyed in the crash, although its carcass was later discovered in the Unknown Regions by Jacen Solo, when he visited the site of The Crash. (HTF, SA, DK, SHA, DN1, DOG)

M-TD Droid
This was a series of repulsor-equipped translation droid. They were considerably less expensive that a protocol droid, but had a limited translation package. (SWRPG)

MT-D6
This small, repulsorlift-equipped messenger droid was owned by the Cularin Office of Peace and Security, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Being a member of the police force, MT-D6 was given special programming that allowed it to be deceitful, thereby helping the droid work with undercover agents.

MT-D6 was assigned to work with officer Ezra Du'Re during her investigation into the theft of several pieces of art from the collection of Cham and Nog Teleus, and managed to escape notice when officer Du'Re was captured by Gomalo's goons at Genarius. The small droid frantically searched the floating city of Tolea Biqua for assistance, until it enlisted the help of a group of freelance agents. (JST1)

M'tima
This word from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "when." (GPB)

M'toc, Utris
This Imzig was a member of Cloud City's Wing Guard during the adminstration of Lando Calrissian. He was above corruption, and worked hard to expose the less-reputable members of the Wing Guard. (CCG5)

M'truli
This Nikto male was captured aboard a Separatist freighter in the Tynnan Sector by Omega Squad, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. M'truli and his comrades, Farr Orjul and Gysk, carried identification that described them as miners, which proved to be an almost perfect cover for their actual mission of transporting explosives for the Separatists. All three were captured by Omega Squad, but not before they sealed off the bridge of their Gizer L-6 freighter and vented the rest of the ship to space. The Omega commandos eventually gained access to the cockpit, but were forced to bide their time until a Red Zero rescue operation could recover them. M'truli was later interrogated by Etain Tur-Mukan and Walon Vau, in connection with the terrorist bombings of military depots on Coruscant. (RCTZ)

MTS-56T
This was a model of power pitons produced in the Tapani Sector, during the height of the New Order, for use by mountaineers and thrill-seekers. (LOE)

MT-ST
Developed on the planet Carida, the Mountain Terrain Scout Transport was the design basis for the MT-AT. Measuring 7.2 meters in length and resembling a huge, six-legged insect, the MT-ST was given the name "bug walker" by the Imperial soldiers who tested it, during the height of the New Order. Capable of speeds reching 100 kilometers per hour over flat terrain, the MT-ST was actually designed for moving over and around rugger, mountainous territory. The six articulated legs gave the MT-ST amazing traction and maneuverability. It required a single driver to operate, and was armed with a turret-mounted, twin blaster cannon. (PH)

MTT Large Transport
This Baktoid Armor Worskhop Multi Troop Transport (MTT) craft was designed for the Trade Federation's droid army. Piloted by two command droids and two co-pilots, the thirty-one-meter-long ship had a bulbous front end which opened to allow the deployment of a full complement of 112 battle droids, which were carried in folding racks. This open staging area was originally designed to assist in deploying destroyer droids, but was later modified for use with battle droids.

The MTT stood just over thirteen meters tall, and could attain a maximum ground speed of thirty-five kilometers per hout. It was lightly armed, with four 17 kv anti-personnel laser cannons mounted on a pair of turrets at the front of the craft, but it was heavily armored to protect against attack. Like all Federation craft, the MTT was remotely controlled by an orbiting droid control ship. (X1, IG1, CCS)

M'tuske
This verb from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "to steal." (GPB)

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

Mu ah waa gaa a yukshin oid
This statement from the Wookiee language of Shyriiwook meant "I already have a suction droid" when translated into Basic. (GPB)

Mu hu mwa gaa

Mu na ya
This polite Wookiee command in the Shyriiwook language translated into Basic as "Please go away." (GPB)

Mu Tree
Native to the moon of Isamu, these trees were unusual in that individual trees made love to each other at night. Two trees would twine together, exchanging pollen and reproducing their species. (SWJ15)

Mu waa waa
This Wookiee command from the Shyriiwook language meant "Please leave me alone" when translated into Basic. (GPB)

MU-12
This spindly, humanoid housekeeping droid was owned by Jango Fett during the last years of the Old Republic. Jango employed the droid to tend his young son, Boba, while he was away from home on bounty hunts. MU-12 was also something of an administrative assistant to Jango, accepting incoming messages and screening poor clients or fake bounties. (JF)

Mu-2 Long Range Shuttle
A variant of the Sienar Fleet Systems' Mu-class shuttle, the Mu-2 was developed to transport armaments and supplies. (OE)

Mu-3 Shuttle
This Sienar Fleet Systems shuttle was the third variant of the successful Mu-class troopship and was created to drop troopers whenever stealth was not required. It measured 20 meters in length, and was capable of hyperspacial travel. Each Mu-3 shuttle was armed with a pair of front-mounted laser cannons. (ROE)

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

This assembler served the galaxy as a go-between and middleman for much of its less glamourous - or legal - activities. Like most assemblers, Kud'ar Mub'ar gained its independence by consuming the assembler which created it. Among Mub'at's most regarded functions was as holder in escrow of the credits placed for the bounty on a being's life. This allowed the poster of the bounty to remain out of the path of danger, while ensuring the timely and accurate delivery of the goods. The assembler was not without its own defenses, having acquired a number of weapons from the ships of individuals which tried to swindle it. Kud'ar Mub'at also salvaged sublight engines for use in moving its web through space. In essence, any being visiting the web was walking within Kud'ar Mub'at's own brain, and was constantly under surveillance. After the development of the subnode called Balancesheet, Mub'at was able to be in two places at once. He himself would see to one customer, while Balancesheet - operating from one of Mub'at's shed carapaces - would attent to the other. Among the assembler's largest customers was the Bounty Hunters Guild, which used the assembler's services to ensure prompt payments of the bounties its members collected. Kud'ar Mub'at was also involved in a great deal of political and powerful intrigue, including the plans of Kuat of Kuat and Prince Xizor of Black Sun. Together, they orchestrated the destruction of the Bounty Hunters Guild and plotted the death of Boba Fett. It was Kud'ar Mub'at who convinced Boba Fett to join the Guild in order to bring about its destruction. At first, the bounty hunter was unaware of the assembler's alliance with Xizor. However, the state of the galaxy during the Galactic Civil War and the ability of Boba Fett to avoid death made these plans tenuous at best. These plans also kept Mub'at's attention on the outside galaxy, allowing the subnode Balancesheet to gain intelligence and autonomy from its creator. Balancesheet entered an alliance with Xizor, and together they brought about the destruction of Kud'ar Mub'at and its web. Kud'ar pleaded with Boba Fett to take hime away, but Fett declined the offer. The pieces of the web drifted for several years before they were approached by Fett, along with Dengar and Neelah, who hoped to re-animate the assembler and learn more about Kuat's plans. Although the assembler was brought back to life, its memory was damaged and it couldn't provide the information it needed. Balancesheet then returned to its creator and destroyed it utterly, firing laser cannons into the web and incinerating much of it. This seemed to please Mub'at, who wanted the release of true death. (MA, SLS, HM)

Mubbin
A Whiphid smuggler who claimed to have found a "secret" in Plett's House on Belsavis. He disappeared shortly after. (COJ)

Mubikai, Piret
This was a Skrilling individual, distinguished in the history of Agriworld-2079. (UANT)

Mubs
This ancient Quarren surname meant "keeper of spears". Like many Quarren surnames, it could be traced back to the time of the Battle of Ruusan. (GCG)

Much Regret Unable
Known as an MRU, this was a response that was common among the widely-dispersed forces of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. It was issued in response to a change in orders, and indicated that a task force was unable to perform its new orders because it was engaged too deeply in its current mission. (RCTZ)

Muck
This was a slang term used by many beings to describe a high-ranking Imperial officer, during the height of the New Order. (DSTR)

Muck-huts
This was another name for the colony of Apatros, located on the planet of the same name. It was coined by the miners who lived in the colony during the years leading up to the Battle of Ruusan, and referred to the fact that the buildings that made up the colony were all the same color, a dingy gray that resembled mud. (DBPD)

Muckracker
This was the more common name of the LM-432 crab droid that was developed by the Separatists during the height of the Clone Wars. The name stemmed from their first deployment on the planet Jabiim, where they were equipped with specialized pumps that cleared mud from their path and kept it from damaging joints and internal systems. This mud could also be sprayed at an enemy, effectively blinding them for a brief moment. (VD3, SWI81, NEGD)

Muckwalker
Native to an unspecified swamp world, the muckwalker was domesticated by the natives for use as a mount. Muckwalkers congregate in large herds, using their numbers for protection against predators. When attacked, a muckwalker used its heavy tail to lash out at its attacker. Despite their name, muckwalkers were better swimmers than they were runners, a trait which stemmed from their evolution in the swampy environment. These creatures also had excellent night vision, and used a form of echolocation to augment their perception. (ANT)

Muckworm
This large annelid was known to eat raw forms of spice. (GOF1)

Mu-class Shuttle
This series of Imperial troop ships was designed and manufactured by Sienar Fleet Systems. The Mu-class was designed from the basic form of the Lambda-class shuttle, with the upper wing removed and the fuselage expanded for passenger and cargo space. It measured 20 meters in length, and was often armed with a pair of laser cannons. The basic Mu-class design could carry up to 6 passengers and 100 metric tons of cargo. Several variants of the basic Mu-class design were developed, each with a different mission profile. (ROE, OE)

Mucous Salamander
Native to the moon Yavin 4, this pink-colored, amphibious creature was virtually formless in water. When the salamander was exposed to dry conditions, its outer membranes harden, forming the creature into a salamander-like shape. The hard, outer casing acted like an insect's exoskeleton, allowing the shapeless mass inside to maneuver by contracting and expanding against the outer membranes. When exposed to water, however, the molecular structure of the skin "loosened," becoming amorphous and giving the creature its mucous-like appearance. The individual cells were held together by the body's electric current. The mouth of the mucous salamander was filled with short tentacles, which it used to capture its prey. These creatures often remained motionless in the water while hunting, waiting for prey to get close enough to the shoreline. When prey was close, the salamander propelled itself from the water to grab the prey. It then crawled to a safe place to digest its food, allowing its body to re-harden to protect it from other predators. (HTF, WSW, UA)

Mucus Tree
This unusual species of tree excreted a yellowish ooze, which earned it its name and served to disseminate its pollen. (JS)

Mud Crab
This crustacean was native to the planet Vernet. (SWJ15)

Mud Crawler
see Sid'Han. (POC)

Mud Puddle, The
This cantina, located on the planet Ord Mantell, was located in a building that once housed a landspeeder repair garage. It got its name from its location, on the edge of a small pond that partially blocked the cantina's only entrance. Patrons were often forced to get their feet wet in order to enter the building. (WOA29)

Mud Sloth
The name given by Luke Skywalker to Akanah's Verpine Adverturer, the Mud Sloth was a Model 201, Production Group E starship. Originally owned by Andras Pell under an unknown name, the ship was passed into the possession of Akanah after Pell's death. Akanah had the ship extensively modified when she began her search for the Fallanassi, stopping on the planet Golkus to allow Talon Kaarde's people to perform much of the work. Kaarde's technicians added a Smuggler's Kit to the hyperspace transponder, and the ship's hyperdrive motivator was programmed so that it wouldn't kick in until the ship had cleared a planet's Flight Control Zone. (BTS, SOL)

Mud Station
This was the name of the city which sprang up around the primary starport on the planet Shador. (SL)

Mud Worg
This predatory creature was native to the bogs and swamps of Togoria, where it submerged itself and waited to ambush its prey. Mud worgs were easily distinguished by the single, tooth-like bone that rose from their skull, which scythed through the water when a mud worg rushed to attack its prey. This bone was the primary weapon of the mud worg, and was capable of slicing through flesh and bone. These creatures moved about on six flipper-like legs, and a short, thick tail provided propulsion and directional control. The mouth of a mud worg was filled with razor-sharp teeth. Mud worgs often hunted in packs, which allowed them to bring down prey that was much larger than any individual. The capture of prey often resulted in a feeding frenzy, and many mud worgs were killed by their own kind during these frenzies. The native Togorians often used a pack of mud worgs in a sort of sport, with a group of Togorians trying to make it across a mud worg-infested pond without being harmed. (MIS8)

Mud-baller
This was scout slang for anyone who lives on the surface of a planet. (GG8)

Mudbug
This was a slang term used by the starfighter pilots of the New Republic to describe ground-based personnel, especially Imperial forces that were stationed on the surface of a planet. (XWN)

Mudbug
This insect, native to the planet Kubindi, was one of many species that were raised by the Kubaz as a source of food. Mudbugs were also one of the few Kubindi insects that were considered tasty by non-Kubaz races. (OWS)

Mudcrawler
This creature was protected by a thick, spiked shell. When flipped over onto its back, the spikes severely hamper its ability to return to an upright position. The mudcrawler usually flounders on its back until it dies of starvation or thirst. (SOL)

Mudcrutch
This was a derogatory term used by most humans as a disparaging description of another individual, during the years leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. The basic undertone of the term was that the individual labelled as a mudcrutch was as worthless as a crutch would be in the mud, although it was often used with much more vehemence. (DBPD)

Mudfoot
Imperial military slang for the infantry which accompanies an AT-AT walker. (SWJ9)

Mudi
This was a common name among the members of the Yuzzum race. (GORW)

Mud-jumpers

Mudlarp
This was a slang term used on Coruscant, during the early years of the New Order, to describe any of the poor, homeless, or abandoned younglings who lived in the undercity and survived by picking pockets and stealing whatever food and supplies they could. These children were found on almost every street corner, hoping to acquire items that were necessary for survival. (CN3)

Mudlath
This man was a Captain in the Aphran Planetary Exosecurity force, during the years surrounding the Battle of Coruscant. Captain Mudlath was on duty when Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, arrived on Aphran IV in an effort to establish a resistance cell on the planet. Mudlath immediately had them imprisoned, on charges that they were subverting the security of Aprhan IV by being recognized on the planet, when they were obviously targets of the Yuuzhan Vong. He then alerted his Peace Brigade superiors, hoping to win favor with them by turning in the Solos. (EL2)

Mudman
An amorphous creature composed of mud that inhabited the planet Roon, mudmen were deemed semi-sentient by many xenobiologists. Comprised almost entirely of loose, wet soil, mudmen could be broken apart into smaller versions of themselves with a strong spray of water. In fact, some amoral beings captured the tiny mudmen and kept them in glass jars, to be sold as pets. (DCAR, EGP)

Mudmauler
see Swamp Crawler (SME)

Mudmub
This Sullustan bounty hunter was among the group that agreed to help Risso Nu eliminate Boba Fett on Ma'ar Shaddam. Mudmub and his Rodian partner were eliminated by Fett when he captured the Sullustan and strapped a number of explosive devices to his chest. Fett then shoved Mudmub into a room with his partner just before the explosives went off, killing both bounty hunters in a gory mess. (T18)

Mudon
This Ithorian surname was believed to mean "forest warden" - or, more specifically, an individual who dealt with animal control - according to historian who studied the Ithorian race. (GCG)

Muehling
This alias was used by Mara Jade Skywalker, during her attempt to locate Thrynni Vae on Duro and determine what was going on with the refugees who were displaced by the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Baroness Muehling was a native of Kuat, who wanted to meet with the SELCORE representatives - mainly, Leia Organa-Solo - and discuss possible assistance. Baroness Muehling was accompanied by her servant Emlee, who was actually Jaina Solo. She later used the Muehling alias to meet with Dassid Cree'ar, thereby exposing the scientist as the Yuuzhan Vong executor Nom Anor. (BP)

Mueum
This was one of the many hives that made up the Colony. Like all other hives within the Colony, the members of the Mueum hive referred to themselves, as well as the entire nest, as Mueum, and acted upon the Will of the Mueum hive. The Mueum hive was located on the moon Eyyl, and was one of several that produced the Colony's dartship pilots during the conflict with the Chiss some five years after the Yuuzhan Vong were defeated. (DN1)

Mufkin
This Huttese word translated loosely into Basic as "little one", and was often used to describe a Huttlet. The exact translation of this term was closer to the word "muffin", although the term was rarely used to describe food. (CWVG, CWBB)

Mufrenes
Meaning "melancholy", 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)

Muftak
This Talz was orphaned at Docking Bay 12 of the Mos Eisley spaceport on Tatooine. He grew up among the cantina's regular, local customers, performing odd jobs to make a living. He always knew that he was different from almost every other race that passed through Mos Eisley, but he couldn't learn who or what he was. He searched out information from his friend, Momaw Nadon, but Nadon had never seen a Talz before. In time, Muftak found and adopted the abandoned Chadra-Fan female named Kabe, and the two were nearly inseparable. Together they were known as pickpockets and thieves, with Muftak providing the brawn, while Kabe provides the brains. Muftak and Kabe decided to rob Jabba the Hutt's Mos Eisley townhouse just after the Millennium Falcon blasted out of Mos Eisley, and were rewarded when they were able to rescue a datadot from Barid Mesoriaam, who was being tortured by Jabba for informtion on the Alliance. Muftak and Kabe barely escaped, but were paid 15,000 credits and a pair of travel vouchers signed by Grand Moff Tarkin. They fled Tatooine, traveling to both Alzoc III abd Chad before visiting other planets. During this time, Muftak wrote his autobiography, Sands in Winter. Although uncredited, Muftak was played by Laine Liska in Star Wars. (E4, SCRE, TME, SWDB)

Mufti
The title was traditionally given to the religious ruler of the planet Gaurick. (CSA)

Mug
A name used to describe any foolish being. (RP)

Mugaabi
see Mugaari (TIEP)

Mugaar
This Mid Rim world was known as the homeworld of the Mugaari race. (WOA33)

Mugaar
This was the speciallized language used by the Mugaari. (CCW)

Mugaari
This was a race of heavy-browed, lantern-jawed humanoids which were native to the Javin Sector of the galaxy. This area of the gaalxy used to be known simply as Mugaari Space, until the Old Republic began settling planets in the neighboring Anoat Sector. The Mugaari were native to the planet Mugaar, and eventually colonized ten other planets, including Javin. Many people associated the Mugaari with pirates, and for good reason. As a people, the gray-skinned Mugaari resented the rest of the galaxy for isolating them, believing that the decline of their own culture was caused by the apathy of the Galactic Senate. Despite an uneasy truce with the human race, the Mugaari continued to operate pirate fleets in the Tungra Sector. With the ascension to power of Emperor Palpatine, the Mugaari threw their support to the Alliance, although they took no official position during the Galactic Civil War. Their base was destroyed in an Imperial raid shortly after the Battle of Hoth. (TIE, CCW, WOA33)

Mugaari Space
This collection of eleven star systems was controlled by the Mugaari. It was located along the border of the Mid Rim and Wild Space, and contained the planets Javin, Aztubek, and High Chunah. After the Old Republic began to settle and colonize worlds in these systems, Mugaari Space was absorbed into an area later called the Javin Sector. (WOA33)

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

Mugruebe
Native to the planet Agamar, this creature resembled a large frog, with huge rear leags and tiny front legs. The natives of Agamar considered the flesh to be a delicacy, and used it in a stew-like meal favored by Keyan Farlander. (XW, EGP)

Mugruebe Spit-sauce
This unusual sauce was a popular addition to many dishes that were created by chefs on the planet Agamar. (OWS)

Mugshub
Gamorrean matriarch of the Klagg tribe on Pzob. (COJ)

Mugwump
This was a Khoan term of derision. (SL)

Muh
This Gamorrean word was used to describe any being who was not a native of Gamorr. It translated to "outlander." (SWJ14)

M'uhk'gfa
This was the name given to the battle armor assembled by a Gamorrean warrior. Each plate of m'uhk'gfa armor was supposed to be retrieved from the battlefield on which a warrior distinguished himself, serving as a collection of trophies taken from their enemies. However, after the decay of the Old Republic and the rise of the Empire, many Gamorreans chose to purchase pre-fabricated armor in order to better protect themselves against blasters and other energy weapons. (UANT)

Muhndee
This form of Nimbanese competition was developed in an effort to avoid all-out warfare. Each Nimbanese clan would present the others with a puzzle which required complex thinking to solve within a year. These yearly muhndees kept the ancient Nimbanese busy working on puzzles rather than on weapons and warfar. The development of muhndees over the centuries had given rise to a healthy bureaucracy among the nimbanese, as each clan had to keep track of the paperwork involved with solving many of the puzzles. There have also emerged electoral muhndees geared toward determining the best candidates for political positions. (GG12)

Muja
This flowering tree was native to the planet Gala. The tree produced a tasty fruit which was often used in muffins, or pressed to create a sweet juice. (MOC, RCTZ)

Muja, Kav
This colorful smashball player was one of the galaxy's best-known players at the time of the Clone Wars. Muja was also known to be xenophobic, and often complained that the league's allowance of non-human players was contrary to the sport's roots and objectives. Just before the onset of the Clone Wars, Muja was playing for the Elom Ranphyx team when they were soundly beaten by the Corellian Dreadnaughts, which had admitted several non-human players to its team. His tirade against smashball's leaders and directors was as much a political statement as it was a personal one. (HNN4)

Muja Bandits
This tribe of Kaleesh was known among the other tribes for their wanton desecration of various Kaleesh temples. (OWS)

Muja Juice
This juice was created from the berries of the muja tree. (DH)

Muja Muffin
A breakfast pastry once favored by the Daan, muja muffins originated on the planet Gala. (DOD)

Muk Muk Monkey
This was another name used to describe Pilf Mukmuk. (CWTV39)

Mukit
This Ubese criminal was one of many who went to work for Ghez Hokan, when the crimelord took control of the planet Qiilura during the last years of the Old Republic. Mukit was forced to clean up the remains of his fellow Ubese, Cailshh, after Cailshh was beheaded for disobeying Hokan's orders. (RCHC)

Mukmuk, Pikk
This yellow-skinned Kowakian monkey-lizard was the brother of Plif Mukmuk. (CWTV11)

Mukmuk, Pilf
This green-furred Kowakian monkey-lizard was part of Hondo Ohnaka's pirate crew, during the final years of the Old Republic. When Ohnaka managed to capture Count Dooku on Vanqor, Pilf Mukmuk stole the lightsabers that the Count was carrying. Among the lightsabers was the weapon of Anakin Skywalker, who discovered it when he and Obi-Wan Kenobi were dispatched to Florrum to verify Dooku's identity and negotiate with Ohnaka to transfer Dooku to a Republic prison. When Skywalker tried to use the Force to recover the lightsaber, the other Weequay pirates drew their weapons, forcing him to cede control of the weapon to Pilf Mukmuk. The Kowakian monkey-lizard continued to harass the Jedi, and altered Ohnaka's thugs to their first attempt to escape from captivity. (CWTV11, CWTV12)

Mulack
A alien creature. (RD)

Mulacks, Kruy
This green-skinned humanoid hosted his own investigative newsfeed, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Mulacks' show was known to be entertaining, if not a bit overdramatic. He was perhaps best known for being on the scene when the Temple of Tet-Ami was opened. (T13)

Mulako Corporation
This corporation was set up on a huge comet that wandered through an uncharted system every hundred years or so. They stripped the outer layers of primordial ice off the comet as it passed through its orbit, and distilled it for sale as a gourmet water to self-important chefs and dignitaries. When the comet neared the star it orbited, it was also used as a resort. The corporation had dug out luxurious living spaces deep within the comet's core, and opened them to the well-paying public twice each orbit. The first time came as the comet neared the star; the second came after the comet had passed close to the star and was on its way out of the system. During these two, three-month periods, the evaporating elements in the comet created a breathable environment for non-workers. When the comet was close to the star, the environment was too hot and the gases too plentiful. When it passed beyond the star, the comet was too cold. During these times, the comet was only inhabited by the workers of the Mulako Corporation. (DS)

Mulaxis, Muchardis
This Ayrou heirarch served as the chairbeing of Tripartite Lines, based on the planet Ovise III, during the early years of the New Republic. Mulaxis was also sworn in as Moddell Sector's Senator to the New Republic, although his only trip to Coruscant was for his swearing-in ceremony. (GMR9)

Mulblatt
The larvae of this creature were considered a delicacy by the Hutts, and they were served with fregon-blood sauce. (RD)

Mule 1

Mule 4
This Imperial heavy lifter was part of a group that was assigned to outpost D-34, just after the Battle of Hoth. The Mule 4 and her sister ships were instrumental in the recovery of abandoned cargo containers near the planet Argoon. (TIE, TIEP)

Mule 5
This Imperial heavy lifter was part of a group that was assigned to outpost D-34, just after the Battle of Hoth. The Mule 5 and her sister ships were instrumental in the recovery of abandoned cargo containers near the planet Argoon. (TIE, TIEP)

MULE Droid
This was a simplified name used to describe the Mechanical Universal Labor Eliminating Droid. (EGD, GG8)

Mulissiki
This species of small scavenger was native to the planet Cularin. In nature, mulissiki lived by eating the refuse and waste of their environment. The Tarasin of the planet used controlled populations of mulissiki to keep their villages clean. However, uncontrolled populations often formed in the true cities of Cularin, and the mulissiki were forced to scavenge anything in order to survive. The average mulissiki stood about a meter tall at the shoulder, and was covered with yellow- and green-striped fur. The nose of a mulissiki was prehensile, and used for searching for its food. The long tail of the mulissiki was seemingly useless, and simply dragged behind the creature as it moved. (LFC, EOS1)

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

Mull
This was the term used to describe a group of cochlera individuals. The average mull contained thirty and fifty cochlera at a time. (WOTC)

Mull, Swanny
This short, muscular, Mawan male was a tunnel worker during the years leading up to the Great Purge that destroyed the city of Naatan. Distinguished by his white hair, Swanny was one of many Mawans known to Euraana Fall as willing to help re-establish a central government on the planet. His knowledge of the water supply systems beneath Naatan came from his former career as a wastewater system programmer. (JQ6)

Mullanite Lattice-Sculpture
This artform used specially-constructed lattices, on which were grown creeping vines. The lattices allowed the vines to grow into many beautiful shapes and images. (HSL)

Mullee
This Huttese verb translated roughly into Basic as "to pay for." (E1A14)

Mulleen
This man was one of the many officers of the Grand Army of the Republic who quickly declared his allegience to the Galactic Empire, in the wake of the Clone Wars. He was placed in charge of eradicating any officers who showed the least bit of anti-Imperial sentiment, a mission that he carried out with ruthless efficiency. Within a few months of the Battle of Utapau, Admiral Mulleen had rounded up any detractors and executed them as traitors to the Empire. (DT1)

Mulleshar, Troye
This man was a member of the Blue Guard, during the months leading up the Clone Wars. Shortly before the vote on the Military Creation Act, he was knocked unconscious by a horde of rioters who were protesting the possible passage of the Act. His fellow officers managed to extricate him from the mob. (HNN5)

Mullinine
This metallic substance was often used in the construction of blades and other melee weapons, since it held an edge extremely well. (TME, KOTOR2)

Mullinore
This Imperial Navy Captain was a classmate of Admiral Daala on Carida, during the early years of the New Order. A native of Taanab, Mullinore grew up in a strict family and learned to be formal and proper in all his actions. He was assigned as the commander of the Basilisk, in support of the Maw Installation, serving under Admiral Daala's command for many years. When Daala decided to launch an all-out attack on Coruscant, some seven years after the Battle of Endor, Mullinore was surprised and confused to learn that her plan involved the sacrificing of the Basilisk. Daala hoped that the ship's explosion could be timed to coincide with its entry into Coruscant's atmopshere, where the resulting shockwave and collateral debris would level half the planet's skyscrapers in a violent suicide run. Loyal almost to a fault, Mullinore accepted the plan, and even volunteered to remain aboard the Basilisk, to ensure that the explosion was correctly timed for maximum destruction. His noble sacrifice never occurred, however, because Daala was trapped against the Cauldron Nebula by Kyp Durron. Kyp had stolen the Sun Crusher and planned to use it against the Empire. He launched seven resonance torpedoes into the nebula, which detonated the seven collapsed stars at its center. With its crew almost completely transferred over to the Gorgon, the Basilisk was unable to outrun the explosion. Mullinore and the remaining members of his crew were killed when the ship was destroyed. (DA, JASB)

Mullo, Sarab
This was the name of a noted member of Nimbanese society. (UANT)

Muln, Garen
As a restless boy, Garen was one of Obi-Wan Kenobi's friends, during the time he trained at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. The two boys fought over the most trivial things, but maintained a strong friendship. Because they were of similar size, Garen was used as Obi-Wan's double during the search for Xanatos. Xanatos had infiltrated the Jedi Temple with the intent of stealing a cache of vertex crystals and destroying the Temple, but Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon Jinn managed to thwart the attempt.

Garen later trained as a starfighter pilot, in an effort to augment the ranks of pilots among the Jedi. Garen was among the first Jedi chosen to train at Clee Rhara's starfighter facility on Centax 2, later apprenticed with Clee Rhara as a Padawan. Despite their efforts, the starfighter training facility eventually closed its doors, but Garen and Clee went on to have distinguished careers among the Jedi.

Just prior to the Clone Wars, Muln was elevated to the rank of Jedi Knight, and accompanied Siri Tachi on a mission to the Xanlanner System. While en route, they discovered Obi-Wan's distress signal from TY44, and helped him reach Vanqor to rescue his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker. When the Clone Wars broke out, Garen was placed in charge of a small group of clone troopers.

Just before the First Battle of Coruscant, Muln and his team were dispatched to Acherin to free the planet from Separatist control. He managed to broker the surrender of General Toma's forces, and was about to sign a peace treaty with the Acherin government when the command to execute Order 66 was given. For his actions in the fighting, Garen had earned the respect of Toma, and Toma was able to hide him from the clone troopers for several weeks. In order to protect his friend, however, Garen took the first ship to Ilum, and chose to hide in the Crystal Cave. He left Toma with orders to tell only a true Jedi about his location, hoping to gather other Jedi on Ilum.

He was later discovered there by Ferus Olin, who himself had been looking to gather any surviving Jedi. Garen initially refused to leave Ilum, and presented his lightsaber to Ferus as a token of his faith in Ferus' actions. An Imperial attack on Ilum later forced Garen to abandon his hideout, and he joined the group that Ferus had been assembling on a remote asteroid. However, Garen lacked the strength to do any real work, having been utterly dismayed by the swift and ruthless way in which the Empire had taken control of the galaxy. He was given another chance to do some good when Ry-Gaul determined that he could no longer train Lune Oddo Divinian, and sent the youth to the asteroid base so that Garen could train him.

Unfortunately, their efforts nearly proved for naught, as Darth Vader already had learned of the location of the asteroid base from General Toma and Eve Yarrow, who had been masquerading as the freedom fighter known as Flame. Vader had also rigged Eve Yarrow's starship to explode, stranding Garen on the asteroid with Solace, Ry-Gaul, and Lune Oddo. When Vader's Star Destroyer appeared in the asteroid field, the three former Jedi agreed to send Lune away from the asteroid in an escape pod, then set out to defend the asteroid against insurmountable odds. Vader wasted no time in firing on the asteroid, tearing it apart in a single, devastating blast that killed everyone still on its surface. Garen died knowing that the Jedi were not yet defeat if Lune still survived. (RF, HP, CT, JAD, JQ7, LJ1, LJ2, LJ7, LJ9, LJ10)

This woman served the Empire at the Tatooine garrison, in the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. She served under Lieutenant Harburik during her tenure on Tatooine. Her troopers were the first Imperials to discover the hidden base of Momaw Nadon near Mos Eisley, but she was unsure what to do with the information. She set out on her own, working with Centa Sonhan to pursue the Ithorian. They hoped to destroy Nadon's small grove of bafforr trees as an example to any Alliance sympathizers on Tatooine. She was delighted when the Gamorrean and his thugs captured Momaw Nadon, but she was killed when a team of Alliance agents captured Sonhan's sail barge and rescued the Ithorian. (WOA5)

Multi-detonator
This was an old-style explosive device that was created to breach force fields and shields to deliver a potent, multiple-stage detonation in a localized area. Unlike a thermal detonator that used barely-contained baradium to create a massive explosion, the multi-detonator used a magna-thermitic charge as the main explosive. A satellite spin piercer on one side of the device could be used to lodge the multi-detonator into a thick surface, and a concussion beam generator was added to increase the overall explosive capability. As a further back-up, or for additional damage, a cycle wave ripper could be ejected to cause secondary explosions from the main detonation. Boba Fett was one of the most famous users of a multi-detonator. (CVD)

The average Multopo was a tall, muscular amphibian with a humanoid appearance. Attached to their arms and legs were thick membranes which assisted them in swimming. Their heads were conical in shape, with a rounded cranium and a pointed snout. Three pairs of gills were located just below their jawbone. Aside from their feud with the Krikthasi, the Multopos were a curious people who adapted to technology with ease.

Mumuu
This vicious creature was native to the Kunbal jungles of the planet Kalee. It had two hearts, which formed a kind of redundant circulatory system. The strength and abilities of many a Kaleesh warrior were judged by their ability to bring down a mumuu, because the pair of hearts were protected by the thick backbone. The skull of the mumuu was often carved into elaborate masks worn by Kaleesh warriors and soldiers, and the hide of the mumuu was also to make heavy cloaks. (VD3, SWDB, OWS)

Mumuu Fighting
This was a sport that evolved from the hunting of mumuu by the Kaleesh, on their homeworld of Kalee. Traditionally, Kaleesh hunters brought down a mumuu by getting in close and using either a shoni spear or a pair of lig swords to wound the animal. Because both weapons were short, they required a Kaleesh hunter to get exceptionally close the animal. The techniques involved in getting close enough to stab the mumuu without being injured eventually evolved into the sport of mumuu fighting. The killing of a mumuu was an honorable event, as it proved that the Kaleesh hunter was a skilled individual. (OWS)

Mun, Grennit

Munificent-class Star Frigate
This 825-meter-long frigate was designed and manufactured by Hoersch-Kessel Drive and Gwori Revolutionary Industries during the height of the Clone Wars. The Munificent-class frigate was originally commissioned by the InterGalactic Banking Clan to protect planets on which the IBC had erected vaults and storehouses, as well as to harass those planetary governments that owed the IBC debts. After the Battle of Geonosis, these vessels served the Confederacy of Independent Systems as combat communications platforms, coordinating fleet movements and navigation across vast distances. Because these ships became synonymous with the InterGalactic Banking Clan, they were often referred to as Banking Clan Frigates.

The Munificent-class frigate was armed with a pair of heavy turbolaser cannons, two long-range ion cannons, twenty-six twin turbolaser cannons, twenty light turbolaser turrets, and thirty-eight point-defense laser cannons. A crew of 200 droids was required to operate the vessel, which could also accommodate up to 150,000 deactivated battle droids. This vessel could also handle some 40,000 metric tons of cargo. A Class 1 hyperdrive gave the Munificent-class frigate a range of some 150,000 light-years, allowing it to move into and out of battle zones with ease. Separatist engineers added huge hyperwave transceivers and communications jamming systems to the Munificent-class frigate, allowing it to broadcast battle plans to other CIS vessels while jamming the communications and targetting systems of Republic ships. Two separate reactors provided power to the many shipboard systems, and could operate independently if one was damaged or forced off-line.

The Needle-shaped Munificent-class frigate had an array of four wings at the aft of the vessel. The larger, horizontal wings provided stability, while the shorter, vertical wings housed the hyperdrive systems. Interestingly enough, the Munificent-class frigate lacked any sort of hangar or docking bays, although droid starfighters could be held in a cargo area if needed.

In the wake of the Clone Wars, most Munificent-class frigates were scuttled. A few that had organic crews, and an even smaller number that had droid crews, fled into the outer reaches of the galaxy, where they eked out an existence as pirates. A few of these ships survived and later joined the Rebel Alliance. (X3, WOTC, SSOG)

On one side of the Murgo Choke was a binary star system formed from a yellow and an orange star of similar size. On the other side, another binary system formed from a crimson dwarf that orbited a blue giant created an unusual match. Because of this collection of four stars in such proximity, the Murgo Choke was difficult to navigate through. However, it was the only way to reach the opening of the Utegetu Nebula. Starships wishing to travel to the nebula had to exit from the Rago Run at one of several jump points, then make their way through the Murgo Choke. (DN2)

Murkhana
This heavily-forested planet was one of the many that saw combat during the final stages of the Clone Wars. Murkhana was settled at some point during the Old Republic by the Koorivars, who later established the headquarters of the Corporate Alliance in Murkhana City. Murkhana was a tropic world that had been volcanically active in its youth, as evidenced by the black-snad beaches that lined its coastal plains. During the rainy season, much of the planet was blanketed by thick, stormy clouds, making any descent from space to ground a dangerous endeavor.

During the years leading up the Clone Wars, the Koorivar allowed the Confederacy of Independent Systems to establish a base of operations on the planet. Passel Argente himself oversaw much of Murkhana's government, and allowed the criminal underworld to flourish, so long as they paid their "taxes" to the Corporate Alliance. As the fight for Murkhana - and the Clone Wars themselves - drew to an end, Republic forces offered the government the chance to surrender. The Koorivar silently refused, plunging the planet into several more weeks of combat before the command to execute Order 66 was issued. Darth Vader was the dispatched to Murkhana to ensure that the clone troopers serving on the planet remained loyal to the new Galactic Empire, after word reached the ears of Emperor Palpatine that the troopers had disobeyed Order 66.

Decades later, during the height of the Corellia-GA War, the government and business leaders of Mukrhana became involved in a trade war with the Verpine, when they tried to move into the small-unit comlink market. This market had been dominated by the Verpine, who claimed that corporations on Murkhana were breaching trade agreements that limited the export of these comlinks. (SWI83, RDV, LF5, DT1)

Murrock, Jag
This grizzled old man was a long-time spacer and asteroid miner, who plied the spacelanes during the final decades of the Old Republic. It was Murrock who discovered that a lode of Adegan crystals were present in several of the asteroid in the Cularin Asteroid Belt, and he willingly agreed to supply them to the Almas Academy. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Jag agreed to help Jedi Master Lanius Qel-Bertuk in testing a group of Jedi Knights, as part of a broader scheme to show Padawans how a Jedi was supposed to act in strenuous situations.

Master Qel-Bertuk sent the Jedi to Jag's asteroid, on a mission to obtain Adegan crystals for those Padawans who were ready for the Test of the Lightsaber. Posing as an independent miner, Jag hid out on one of the many crystal-bearing asteroids, and ambushed the Jedi when they arrived to acquire some crystals. He fired several warning shots, and accused the Jedi of being claim-jumpers. An expert at zero-G manuervering after years of experience, Jag confronted the Jedi and threatened to defend his mines to the death. He did his best to play the hard-nosed prospector, in an effort to force the Jedi to part with something valuable in order to obtain the crystals.

Ultimately, Jag accepted an inflated payment for the crystals, having negotiated with the Jedi to an unreasonable price. This fit into Master Qel-Bertuk's overall plan, however, as it showed his Padawans that the pursuit of a goal often required some form of personal sacrifice. Jag later repaid the credits he had taken for the crystals, but was forced to admit that the crystal mines on the asteroid had finally given up their last crystals. Master Qel-Bertuk sensed something wrong with these final crystals, and both he and Jag believed that they had been changed when the Cularin System disappeared several years earlier. (JCT2)

Murrtaggh
This former Jedi Master was credited with defeating the Dark Underlord, the Sith leader who ravaged the Old Republic some 750 years before the Battle of Ruusan. Murrtaggh accomplished this feat by cutting a deal with the leader of the Mandalorian Mercs, drawing the Dark Underlord and his Black Knights into battle. With the Black Knights occupied by the Mandalorians, Master Murrtaggh infiltrated their camp and assassinated the Dark Underlord. However, in order to kill the Sith leader, Murrtaggh sacrificed himself to the Dark Side of the Force in order to gain sufficient strength to defeat him. (HR, OWS)

Murrwooro urrwooro
This Wookiee and his friend, Urrurrowo, were badly injured when a swarm of flame beetles exploded near them, shortly after the Clone Wars. Murrwooro was a native of the city of Rwookrrorro. (GMR4)

Murtceps
This Imperial BFF-1 freighter was discovered by Keyan Farlander during his first tour of duty as an X-Wing pilot, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Carrying a load of TIE Fighters, the Murtceps was able to evade Farlander and survived his attack. (XW, XWP)

Murthe', Leonis
This depraved Imperial scientist was known to have been one of the staunchest supporters of Emperor Palpatine's High Human Culture. To this end, Doctor Murthe' and his partner, Admiral Mir Tork, spent much of their careers subjugating and destroying entire alien civlizations. Doctor Murthe' set up a collection of holding pens and laboratories aboard the Azgoghk, where he perfected his techniques and torturing and killing. Murthe' later retired to Malicar 3 in the wake of the Battle of Endor, shortly after working with Admiral Tork to destroy the Gulmarid civilization. On Malicar 3, he spent much of his time torturing and killing aliens for the pleasure of it, no longer concerned with any scientific pursuits. Murthe' was later hunted down and killed by Boba Fett, who had been hired by Slique Brighteyes to avenge the Gulmarids. (AOD)

Muru Ki
This Imperial Nebulon-B frigate saw duty during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Murub, Ull
This Sullustan was one of the many Force-sensitive individuals who were trained at Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, during the early years of the New Republic. However, he longed for more than the "boring" exercises he learned there, and chose to leave the academy and return to his homeworld of Sullust. Once there, however, a Dark Jedi discovered his presence and lured him to the Dark Side of the Force. (GORW)

Murul Trench
This undersea valley was located on the planet Calamari. (SWJ10)

Murzz
This young boy was one of many children captured by, and forced to work for, Gilramos Libkath, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Libkath forced the children to perform a number of criminal activities or suffer his wrath, such as stealing weapons from Jabba the Hutt and disrupting the activities of the Separatists in Mos Espa. (BF4)

Mus
This name was given to female Zabrak, and meant "wine". This name originally referred to any strong alcohol that was used to cleanse wounds. (GCG)

Muscave
This large gas giant was the seventh planet of the Coruscant System. It was orbitted by twenty-one natural moons. (PH)

Muscle
This was the callsign used by Del Moomo in his communications with Jervo Thalien, during the search for Senator Goravvus at the height of the Mandalorian Wars. (KOR7)

Muscle Maggot
This burrowing insect was native to the planet Rattatak. They were named for the way in which the consumed only the muscle tissue of a host organism, a trait that the native Rattataki put to use as an interrogation technique. A few muscle maggots were placed on the skin of a prisoner and allowed to begin burrowing. Over time, the prisoner lost muscle and strength, making them more susceptible to questioning. (RHF)

Muse, Duriet
This Corellian was the wife of Grondorn Muse. (CCG9)

Muse, Grondorn
This former Corellian militia member was also a noted musician, until the Empire blacklisted him. He then joined the Alliance with his wife, Duriet. (CCG9)

Museum of Applied Photonics
This museum of technology was located on the planet Obroa-skai. Twenty-seven years after the Battle of Yavin, after the Yuuzhan Vong overran Obroa-skai and claimed the world for themselves, they left the Museum of Applied Photonics intact, one of a thousand such buildings which were saved from destruction so that the Yuuzhan Vong could better understand their enemies. The Museum itself was converted into use as Warmaster Tsavong Lah's personal base of operations during the war. (SBS)

Museum of Light
This wondrous museum was located on the planet Tandis Four, until it was destroyed by Count Dooku's Separatist forces during the height of the Clone Wars. (MJH)

Museum of Tatooine
This art museum was located in the city of Bestine, on Tatooine, and boasted a huge collection of artworks created from the sands and minerals of the planet by the galaxy's best artisans. (SWTJ)

Museum of the Absolutes
Located in the city of New Apsolon, on the planet of the same name, this museum was built in the former headquarters building of the Absolutes. It was established as a grim reminder of the atrocities of the Absolutes under the Civilized Authority, and presented information and artifacts from the civil war between the Workers and the Civilized. It was later revealed that Eritha and Alani had arranged for an underground tunnel to be excavated, connecting the Governor's palace to the Museum. They used it to reach the Museum, where they regularly met with the Absolutes who had been in hiding, planning for the time when Alani would be elected Governor and return power to the Absolutes. The Absolutes had gone so far as to make the displays in the Museum active, in case of a breach in their security. (TTB, CTV)

Museum of the Galactic Republic
This Old Republic monument was established on the planet Centares by the Senate of the Old Republic. The Museum was shut down by Emperor Palpatine. (VQ)

Museum of the Republic
Established on Coruscant, this New Republic edifice contained numerous displays depicting the events of the Galactic Civil War and the years following the Battle of Endor. It contained a room dedicated to the Battle of Yavin, which had a cut-away model of the first Death Star and a listing of the battle station's full complement of personnel. The display was designed to highlight the destructiveness of war, regardless of the outcome. (SOL)

Mushkil
This Noghri, a member of the Baikh'vair clan, accompanied Corran Horn and Jacen Solo to Garqi, during their attempt to infiltrate the Yuuzhan Vong occupation of the planet. In their first battle with the Vong, Mushkil was killed by Krag Val's amphistaff. (DTR)

Mushroom Cutting Festival
This annual event took place on Gandle Ott, when the cattarash mushrooms were ripe enough to harvest. (DARK)

Mushroom Mesa
This Tatooine landmark was located on the Mos Espa podracing course made famous by the Boonta Eve Classic. The top-heavy stone pillars of this area were shaped like giant mushrooms, and many observers claim to have seen faces carved into the stones. Legends say that the Sand People were the keepers of the secrets hidden in the stone faces, while most geologists claim that any "faces" in the stones were carved by unusual wind erosion. The Mesa later served as a section of the noted Mos Espa Circuit, a swoop racing event held annually during the height of the New Order. (RAC, IWE1, SWGAL)

Mushroom Patch
This was the term used by owners of moisture vaporators to describe the patch of ground at the base of the vaporator. It was here that stray moisture collected in the soil, creating a damp area that allowed mushrooms to grow. (NEGW)

Music Ball
A small, silver orb that plays music when shaken. (XWRS)

Musikagung
This was the Gungan term for any Gungan individual who was skilled in the musical arts. (SWDB)

Musk
This Nikto worked as an enforcer for Barrga the Hutt, during the era of the Great Galactic War. During a transport from Nar Shaddaa to Corellia aboard the Crimson Fleece, Musk bragged about having been one of the thieves who stole a fortune in credits from the Star Cluster Casino. However, in his attempt to impress Hylo Visz with his supposed exploits, Musk referred to the casino as the Star Cluster Cantina, alerting Visz to the obvious lie. Musk and his Weequay partner had been assigned to the ship by Barrga himself, in order to protect the cargo that Visz was carrying for the Hutt. (SV)

Musk Merchant
This was the name given to those merchants who captured thrantcills and extracted fragrant oils and chemicals from their flesh and organs. (TCD)

Musket
This Ripoblus assault transport was operative during the latter stages of the Sepan Civil War. It was used in the Sepan battles against the Empire, during the weeks that followed the Battle of Hoth. (TIE, TIEP)

Muskov
This man was the Captain of the Cloud Police when Zorba the Hutt assumed control of Cloud City. Muskov was a secret agent working for the Central Committee of Grand Moffs. (MMY)

Muskree
This planet, little more than a barren, red ball of dust, was located about an hour's hyperspace travel from the Perlemian Trade Route, beyond the Tion Hegemony. It was considered the primary planet in the Simus Minor System, and was once believed to be a treasure trove of minerals and ores. However, initial scans proved false, and many mining operations went broke and abandoned their bases on Muskree. A small world, Muskree was so remote that it lacked any form of spaceport, and any being with a reason to visit was warned to follow an automated beacon to an open landing area. A single settlement near the landing field was the only inhabited area on the planet. It was here that Osaji Hux chose to live as a recluse, keeping herself safe from harm as the leader of the Osaji Syndicate during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (WOA32)

Muslo, Defaris
This Imperial Governor blamed the Alliance for the death of his daughter, Marna, who actually died under the ministrations of an Imperial interrogation droid. Because of his daughter's allegiance to the Alliance, Defaris was also suspected of supporting the Alliance and was targetted for assassination. (GMH)

Muslo, Marna
This woman was the daughter of Imperial Governor Defaris Muslo. She was an active supported of the Alliance. She was killed after she was captured by Imperial agents and subjected to torturous interrogation by an IT-0 droid. (GMH)

Muss
This hide of this creature was used to cover furniture. (PSPG)

Musson System
This star system aligned itself with the New Republic, following the Battle of Endor. The pirate Jerresk once ambushed a Republic convoy bringing supplies to the Musson System. (WBC)

Musstoro, Mighty
This immense, Ankura Gungan was a wrestler who lived in the settlement of Bartyn's Landing, on the planet Lamaredd, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Musstoro made the bulk of his credits on the street, challenging passersby to a fight. (GMR7)

Mussubir III
A planet with an ancient, aristocratic House. (COJ)

M'ust
This race of cave-dwelling aliens worshipped the eternally-burning fires found in subterranean caves on an unspecified planet. Cody Sunn-Childe discovered the M'ust people when he was shot while fighting the Empire on the planet, after it subjugation during the early days of the Galactic Civil War. It was from the M'ust that Sunn-Childe learned to control his desire for violence, and eventually became a peace-loving individual. When Sunn-Childe finally decided to leave their planet, many of the M'ust followed him to his newly-created spacecraft, which traveled between dimensions rather than in realspace or hyperspace. (MC46)

Mustafar
This volcanic world was the smaller of three worlds that orbited a remote star in the Outer Rim Territories. The surface of the planet was continually being shaped and reformed by eruptions of lava and gas, as well as the gravitic strain imposed by its neighbors, Jestefad and Lefrani. In fact, Mustafar's orbit was so close to that of Jestefad that several astrophysicists believed it could be considered one of the gas giant's moons. However, Lefrani exerted just enough gravitational force to keep Mustafar a separate world unto itself. Because of all these forces, Mustafar appeared to glow a deep orange-red from space, as molten rock was constantly moving across and just below its surface. Amazingly, a race of tall, thin humanoids known as Mustafarians managed to eke out a civilized existence on the planet, as did a species of immense insect known as Mustafar lava fleas. It was belived that, during the early centuries of the Old Republic, that Mustafar was a lush, green world that served as a training facility for the ancient Jedi Knights. The Jedi believed that the planet's core was a kind of vergence, emanating a large amount of energy in and through the Force. The Jedi abandoned their temples on Mustafar after the ancient Sith launched a massive attack on the planet. The Techno Union established a mining outpost on Mustafar some 300 years before the onset of the Clone Wars, laying claim to ownership and extracting precious metals and ores from the free-flowing lava that covered much of the planet's surface. The lava on Mustafar was relatively liquid at temperatures of just 800 degrees, due to the large concentration of unusual isotopes in the rock that formed it. This allowed it to flow freely, and allowed the Mustafarians who worked for the Techno Union to collect it in relative safety. It was on Mustafar that General Grievous hid the Council of Separatists, after the Jedi discovered the presence of Grievous on Utapau. This was all part of the schemes of Darth Sidious, who knew that he needed to eliminate the Separatists before he could assume control of the galaxy. By gathering the Council of Separatists on Mustafar, Sidious had them trapped in one location. Then, he dispatched his new apprentice, Darth Vader, to eliminate the Separatist leaders. This event served as the final act of both the Clone Wars and the Old Republic, solidifying Chancellor Palpatine's position as Emperor of the galaxy. The loss of the mining facility on Mustafar, and the deaths of the Separatist leaders who were on the planet, were later reported as an "industrial accident" by the HoloNet News agency. (SWI80, IS3, VD3, E3N, SWDB, SWI84, SWGAL, SWCL, NEGA)

Mustafar Bandit Sword
Crafted from metals mined on the planet Mustafar, this wicked weapon was distinguished by its curving blade. The base of the sword blade was cut into jagged triangles, to allow for additional damage when wielded in close quarters. The main blade was notched for much of its length, reducing its overall weight and creating a well-balanced sword. (SWGAL)

Mustafar Lava Flea
This was a species of immense insects, used as mounts by the inhabitants of the planet Mustafar. The six-legged lava flea walked in a head-down position, with its armor-plating torso held high enough to place a fire-resistant saddle at its crest. The eyes of the lava flea were protected by nictitating membranes that could cover the eye and protect it from dust and ash. Individual lava fleas were agile creatures that moved about on the cooling lava, and were capable of leaping almost thirty meters if needed. The average lava flea stood over four meters tall when fully grown, having started out life as a half-meter-long, worm-like larva. In the larval form, a lava flea fed on the rock dust that filled the underground lairs of their hive. At about a year in age, the larva encased itself in a cocoon, emerging months later as an adult flea. The name "lava flea" was given to the creature by offworlders who established lava processing factories on Mustafar, since the name used by the Mustafarian race was virtually unpronounceable to other races.

It was believed that the lava fleas evolved underground, much like the Mustafarians. As they grew older, lava fleas shed their bulky carapaces, which the Mustafarians recycled into a form of body armor. (IS3, VD3, SWDB, NEGA)

Mustafar Reclamation Report
This was TaggeCo's official report on their efforts to restore the lava mines of Mustafar to working order, in the wake of the Clone Wars. (NEGD)

Mustafar System
This remote star system contained the planet Mustafar. (E3N)

Mustafarian
This alien race, which had two distinct subspecies, was native to the planet Mustafar. Many xenobiologists believed that the Mustafarians were related to the Kubaz, since both were descended from insectile creatures. This link was further emphasized by the similar facial structures of both races. The Mustafarians had a long trunk instead of a nose, and their foreheads sloped gently back to their necks.

There were two distinct races of Mustafarians, both of which were insectile arthropods whose bodies were protected by hard shells. Both subspecies were distinguished from other races by the fact that their bodies contained very little water. A tall, thin-bodied subspecies lived in the northern hemisphere of the planet, and was much weaker than their cousins. A shorter race of burly laborers inhabited the southern hemisphere, and was much hardier than those Mustafarians of the north. Both races lived in underground warrens, away from the sweltering heat and choken atmosphere of the surface of Mustafar.

As a race, the Mustafarians were egocentric and self-absorbed, having spent much of their existence isolated from the reat of the galaxy. Although not aggressive by nature, the Mustafarians developed their own weaponry, primarily to defend themselves from the predators that inhabited their homeworld.

During the era of the Clone Wars, the Mustafarians were ostensibly part of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, although they had no political affiliation with either side of the conflict. The Techno Union was allowed to establish a lava processing facility on Mustafar, where both subspecies of Mustafarians labored for virtually no pay. This suited the Mustafarians just fine, as long as they were allowed to manage their own affairs. In the wake of the Clone Wars, the Mustafarians fell into relative obscurity. (VD3, SWDB, NEGA)

Mustafarian Toast
It was unknown if this simple dish originated on the planet Mustafar, or was named for the fact that it was heated in an oven that made it look like it was baking on the landscape of the rugged planet. Whatever its origins, Mustafarian toast was a popular breakfast staple in diners across the galaxy. (OWS)

Musti
This creature could be domesticated, and once trained, it became extremely loyal to its owner. (XW, XWP)

Mutanda
This planet, located in the Killaniri System, was the site of an orbital prothium gas mining/producing facility. The mining rights were owned, and the mining controlled by, BlasTech Corporation, Czerka Weapons, and Blethern Gas Industries. Mutanda itself was a moist, temperate world which was home to the Horansi race. Mutanda rotates once about its axis every 18 standard hours, and its year encompasses 267 local days. It had four moons. While Killaniri was known for the prothium gas, Mutanda was known as a safari world, on which the rich and wealthy of the galaxy could hunt for exotic game such as the kalans and hokami. (PG1)

Mutandan Porf
Described by those who have eaten it as a dangerous meal, Mutandan Porf consisted of grain, meats, and spices that were stewed together and served with bread. (XW, XWP)

Mutant Zombie Cooler
A mixed beverage Han Solo makes sarcastic reference to while escaping with Dracmus from the Human League on Corellia. (AS)

Mutar-Horan
This was the outermost of the four moons which orbited the planet Mutanda. (PG1)

Mutated Behemoth
This creature was once the apex predator found on the planet Caamas, known for its lengthy hibernation periods. When Caamas was destroyed, most of the baseline-stock behemoths were killed or died shortly afterward. Some of those that were hibernating at the time managed to survive, but were horribly mutated. These mutated behemoths had three pairs of clawed legs, and had oblong-shaped skulls filled with oversized teeth. These behemoths measured over four meters in length, including a short tail which was used for balance. (WOTC, CCW)

Mutdah, Bohhuah
An extremely obese human, Bohhuah Mutdah was the richest man in the galaxy during the early years of the New Order. He was a retired industrialist who personally controlled trillions of credits in a variety of well-protected bank accounts, the fruits of nearly a century of labors. He made his home on Oseon 5792, an asteroid in the Oseon System that he had altered to create his own fortress during the last years of the Old Republic. Mutdah was a collector of antique books, and had one of the galaxy's largest collections of printed material hidden within Oseon 5792. There, he had servants to perform any task he required, and it was rumored that he had not lifted a finger or used his hands in five years before he was killed by Rokur Gepta as part of a convoluted plot to kill Lando Calrissian. He was well over 100 years old when he was murdered, an age achieved by the proximity of one of the largest life-crystals ever exported from the Rafa System. Another source of his longevity was his intense addiction to lesai. Mutdah had the asteroid's gravity modified, to allow him to maneuver his bulk around with ease. In his asteroid retreat, Mutdah had amassed one of the largest private collections of writings and books, and possessed them in all their forms: early scrolls, worn hardcover texts, memorywire spools and memory rods, and data cards. His murder allowed Rokur Gepta to assume his appearance, which he maintained until Waywa Fybot had eliminated Bassi Vobah and Lando was trapped on the asteroid. Gepta then revealed that he had killed the real Mutdah, and then murdered Fybot before confronting Lando. Before he could exact his revenge, hoever, Gepta found that Lando had escaped. (LCF)

Muted Orbs of Valah'ha
This was a religious reference used by the Gran people. (ETM)

Mutela, Kl'ietu
This was the name of a noted Vodran individual. (UANT)

Mutela, Kl'ieutu
This ancient Vodran was responsible for linking the Vodrans to the Hutts. He was revered among all successive generations. (GG12)

Mutilator
This was the name of the YZ-775 transport owned by the Dark Jedi Gilflyn. (CCW)

Mutiny Box
This was the generic term for any failsafe device which could be triggered in case a military position was breached or infiltrated. Hidden within the mutiny box, which was controlled by the base commander, were switches that triggered the self-destruct mechanisms on weapon emplacements other defenses. Essentially, the mutiny box prevented traitorous forces from gaining control of one's weaponry. (SHPT)

Mutiny, The
This was another term used by Imperial officiers to describe the Galactic Civil War. (DESB)

Mutonium
This highly-valuable metal ore was first mined in the Stenness System, some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. It was often smuggled out of the system, or stolen by one of the system's pirate bands. Over the following millennia, other sources of mutonium were discovered on worlds like Bellassa. (TOJ, LJ1)

Mutriok
Native to the planet Socorro, this canine hunter was known for its sharp senses of smell and direction. The nomadic tribes domesticated the mutriok, using them as companions during their hunts. The mutriok was also valuable to sniffing out pockets of Trauger Gas before a hunting party could stumble into them. (BSS)

Muttamok
This species of small mammals was not fully sentient, but often acted as if it understood what an intelligent creature was thinking. Resembling a bipedal, russet-furred fox, the average muttamok was attracted to bright and shiny objects, which it usually tried to steal and bring back to its lair. These objects were quickly forgotten in the hunt for new trinkets, but a captured muttamok had the uncanny ability to return a stolen object to its original owner. This act was accompanied by an apparent plea for sympathy, which was actually a modified Force skill that projected a form of friendship into the other being's mind. In this way, the muttamok was able to escape from its captor without harm, although it often left its trinkets behind. (PJSB)

Muttani
This humanoid race was distinguished by its sickly appearance and peculiar body odor. The skin of a Muttani had a greenish-gray coloration, and their bodies were generally hairless. The bald head of a Muttani was crowned by pointed ears, and their mouths were filled which sharp teeth. (BH)

Mutual Claim Registration
Developed by independent scouts to solve a situation where two or more parties lay claim to the same unregistered planet prior to credit being paid, the Mutual Claim Registration was signed by all parties. It gives each party an equal share in the claim, thereby eliminating any bickering over claim jumping. It never fully settled the issues surrounding the fact that more than one claim was entered, but it ensured that everyone got some form of compensation. The development of MCRs actually led to more claim jumping, as it gave each party a share whether they actually found the planet or not. (GG8)

Muudabok
This herbivore was native to the coastal swamps of the planet Naboo. Resembling lupine antelopes, the muudaboks were distinguished by their thick horns and the spikes which protruded from their haunches. It was a streamlined swimmer, but rarely dove below the surface of the water. The claws on the front feet of the muudabok were used for digging up roots. The horns of the muudabok were hollowed out by the Gungans to form musical instruments. A collection of bouyant knobs were found at the end of the muudabok's tail, which were used as floats during swimming as well as clubs when attacking or defending. (WSW)

Muun
This was the native language of the Muun people. It consisted of two sounds - "eh" and "um" - combined in varying pitches, frequencies, and orders, creating a language that was very similar to droid Binary language. The written form of the Muun language was a simple, mathematical shorthand representation of the spoken form. (GMR10, UANT)

Muun
This was the shortened name for the planet Muunilinst, used during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SWI65)

Muun
This young Sullustan served as a General during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, despite his young age. Many believed that his command was the result of excellent testing scores, and not any conduct or success in battle. Others believed that he achieved the position because of his relationship with Admiral Sien Sovv. Two years after the initial appearance of the Yuuzhan Vong, General Muun was placed in command of ensuring that the Bilbringi Shipyards continued to operate under Republic control, thereby ensuring a stread of new warships for the battle. He was flustered when Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, asked for twenty ships to assist a Vray convoy fleeing the invasion. Muun refused, citing that the New Republic could not play favorites among its member species. (SBS)

Muun
This tall, thin, humanoid race was native to the planet Muunilinst. Their skulls were elongated and thin, with a tall brain cavity and drooping cheekbones. Their large hands were tipped with equally long fingers. The skin of the average Muun was a pasty-white color, the result of living indoors and underground for much of their lives. A Muun's internal organs were perhaps most noted for the fact that each Muun had three hearts. Although Muuns often traveled away from their homeworld, such trips were quite short, as many Muuns became homesick if away from Muunilinst for too long. As a people, the Muuns were noted for their ability to calculate compelx mathematical data without the use of a computer. Muun children were at least as mathematically competent as the smartest human. Muuns were also incredibly greedy beings who saw a other beings as hotheaded and impulsive, and looked to take whatever advantages their could with other races. Muun society was controlled by the most prominent of clans, and only those members of the most powerful clans ever left the surface of Muunilinst.

Despite their support for the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars, the Muuns were both tolerated and respected by the Galactic Empire, which needed their financial acumen and access to the enormous wealth that the Muuns maintained on Munnilinst. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, a large portion of the Muun population was exterminated when the alien invaders destroyed Muunilinst in a planetary bombardment. Only those individuals who were off-planet at the time survived. (SWDB, GMR10, BF3, UANT, E3N, GORW, NEGA, RF1)

Muun
When translated into Basic, this Mando'a word meant "hard." (OWS)

Muun
This archaic name was common among Sullustan males, and meant "bludgeon". (GCG)

Muun, Raik
This young woman was once a student of the Force at the Almas Academy, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Unlike her fellow students, Raik was unable to keep up with the rigorous training at the Almas Academy, and Jedi Master Kirlocca eventually dismissed her. Angry at this turn of events, Raik turned to the Dark Side of the Force in an effort to gain enough strength to destroy the Almas Academy. She researched the ancient Tarasin legends, and soon discovered the existence of the t'salak in a hidden cave on Cularin. Raik nearly captured it, after a team of CreedCon construction workers accidentally free it, but a group of adventurers who were working for CreedCon Construction helped the Jaraana irstat return it to its prison. This didn't stop Raik, and she set out with an even bolder plan. She lured a former classmate, Nek Lawsirk, into a trap, then assumed his identity in order to meet with the Jaraana tribe's Mother, Morad'Ka. She then stole the ceremonial urn used to trap the t'salak and set out to capture the beast. Once successful, Raik then captured a group of Culpharm scientists and traveled to Tilnes, where she forced the scientists to help her breed the t'salak. Despite the efforts of a group of agents hired by the Almas Academy to locate Lawsirk and recover the t'salak, Raik was able to escape with the two creatures. She managed to successfully breed three more t'salak, and planned to use them to strike against Jedi Master Kirlocca at a conference held the Sentient Beings Opposing Violence aboard the cruise ship Luxury. She infiltrated the ship by assuming the guide of Lernia, the co-pilot of the Luxury, and quick set in motion her plan to discredit Kirlocca and the entire Almas Academy. Although her plans seemed foolproof, Jedi Master Lanius Qel-Bertuk once again hired the freelance agents to locate the Luxury. They found Muun on the bridge, and confronted her with their combined forces. Although she fought with wild abandon, Muun was no match for their combined strength. In a dazzling firefight over the moon Rennokk, Muun was ultimately killed in battle, putting an end to her scheme. (FOC2)

Muun'bajir
This Mando'a verb translated into Basic as "to trounce" or "to teach a lesson." Many Mandalorians used the verb in the form "to kick butt," stemming from its literal meaning of "to educate hard." (OWS)

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

Muunilinst
This planet, the homeworld of the Muun race, was the financial heart of the galaxy for millennia, at least according to the native Muuns. The fact remained that much of the galaxy's currency was backed by the resources of the Muuns and the InterGalactic Banking Clan. The planet itself was a temperate world over jungles, forests, and rolling plains, and its shallow seas were continually warmed by regular eruptions of small volcanoes known as smokers.

Located along the Braxant Run, Muunilinst became the financial center of the Empire in the years following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Known to many Imperial officers - and, indeed, much of the galaxy - as Moneylend, it was a world steeped in history that dated from the glory days of the Old Republic.

During the era of the New Republic, Muunilinst was protected by a pair of Golan III defense platforms, defenses which Moff Disra had tried to move to Bastion. Years later, after the Yuuzhan Vong took control of the planet Coruscant and then were soundly defeated at the Battle of Ebaq, the alien invaders turned to the fringes of the galaxy to make smaller attacks. After destroying the Yevethan homeworld of N'zoth, the Yuuzhan Vong turned their attention to the Imperial Remmant. In a coordinated strike, the Yuuzhan Vong eliminated Bastion and its supporting fleet, then decimated the forces protecting Muunilinst. The planet itself was bombarded from orbit, reducing it to a wasteland from which the Yuuzhan Vong plucked any survivors for use as slave labor.

The Imperial Remnant returned to the planet in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong War, and restored it to usefulness as a banking center. (SOP, SWDB, FH1, GORW, NEGA, LF8)

Muunilinst 10
This sub-team of clone troopers was led by Captain Fordo, and accompanied Obi-Wan Kenobi to Muunilinst, as part of a larger mission to capture San Hill and cut off the Separatists from the InterGalactic Banking Clan. (SWI84)

Muunilinst Relaxation Pool
This form of personal spa was developed on the planet Muunilinst, as a way for hard-working Muuns to relax after a hard day's work. The pool itself was made up of two sections. A smaller section was designed for use by one or two individuals, and offered an effervescent bath of warm water that constantly swirled around the pool. The larger section could accommodate more beings, and could be used to swimming or playing. (SWGAL)

Muur
This simple, yeast-based food formed the basis of the Yuuzhan Vong diet, during the long trip between galaxies. (FP)

Muur
This was a species of tentacled predator. (RPG)

Muur, Karness
This ancient Sith Lord was believed to have created the Muur Talisman, shortly before he disappeared. It was unknown what had befallen Karness Muur, until the Muur Talisman found its way to Jebble, and attached itself to the body of Celeste Morne. Karness Muur had realized that Lord Dreypa had been planning to kill him, so he had his spirit stored inside the Muur Talisman. In this way, he could survive beyond Dreypa's era and possess the body of a Sith at a later point in time. Many centuries later, when Celeste Morne put on the talisman, the spirit of Karness Muur appeared to Celeste, and began to assume control over her body. She refused to be drawn to the Dark Side of the Force, and had Zayne Carrick lock her inside Lord Dreypa's Oubliette, thereby preventing Muur from taking control of her body and carrying out his plans. The pair remained trapped inside the Oubliette for nearly 4,000 years, until Darth Vader opened the stasis casket and released Celeste Morne. As soon as she regained consciousness, Karness Muur's spirit began to reassert itself. When Muur recognized that Vader was a much more powerful Force user, he demanded that Celeste turn possession of the Muur Talisman over to Vader. She refused, and confronted Darth Vader in a lightsaber duel. Muur continued to harrass Celeste, urging her to let Vader kill her when she was defeated. Despite the powers of both Vader and Muur, Celeste proved to be much stronger and more resourceful. Rather than giving in, she drew upon the power of the Muur Talisman and turned Vader's stormtroopers into rakghouls, forcing the Dark Lord to flee the planet. With Vader gone, Celeste was trapped on the remote planet, and Karness Muur's spirit was equally bound to the planet with her, for nearly two decades. At that time, Vader tried once again to recover Celeste Morne and use her as an agent of the Empire. When an Imperial detail was lost, Vader leaked information about the remote world to the Alliance, in which it was claimed that an Imperial weapon had been abandoned there. Among the rebels who arrived on the planet was Luke Skywalker, who Karness Muur realized was a much stronger Jedi than Celeste had ever been. He tried to place the Muur Talisman around Luke's neck, but Leia Organa stepped in and the talisman latched onto her instead. Karness Muur sensed that Leia was also strong in the Force, and decided to impose his will on her. Celeste took matters into her own hands, drawing her lightsaber and forcing the talisman to leave Leia's body and return to her own. In this way, Celeste once again trapped Karness Muur's spirit within her mind. (KORV, DTV, SWRV)

Muur Talisman
This Sith artifact was believed to have found its way to the planet Taris, during the Golden Age of the Sith, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The Talisman itself was believed to have been created by Karness Muur, and resembled a huge brooch or clasp that was often shown in images holding the cloak or cape on the shoulders of a Sith Lord. The shape of the Talisman was that of a six-tentacled creature, which had an arrowhead-shaped body and two large mandibles or pincers at its head, and a long tail. Rumors held that the artifact had strange powers to manipulate life itself. In reality, the Muur Talisman was originally created by Karness Muur as a tool that could twist the minds of those nearby and turn them into mindless beings that heeded his every command. It removed an individual's personality, but left the individual's learned skills behind, allowing Karness Muur to draw upon the skills of those beings he had enslaved. Unfortunately, the Muur Talisman proved only to be effective against beings that lacked sensitivity to the Force, and many non-human races were largely unaffected by its powers. It was said that Karness Muur then imbued the talisman with the ability to transmit a bio-engineered infection that could be spread simply by touching another being with the talisman.

It was said that Naga Sadow and many other Sith Lords of the era struggled mightily to locate the Muur Talisman, often killing each other in their quests. A millennium later, the Jedi Covenant led by Lucien Draay learned about the existence of the Muur Talisman from a Sith holocron and tried to locate the artifact. Draay and the other members of the Covenant believed that the talisman was the cause of the Rakghoul Plague, but they were unable to locate it before leaving the planet during the Mandalorian Wars. In the wake of the death of Raana Tey, most members of The Covenant shared a vision in which a near-human male controlled hordes of rakghouls with the Muur Talisman. Only Lucien Draay failed to see the vision, but he agreed to do what he could to find it. Before the Jedi could begin their search, however, a group of Mandalorians led by Pulsipher discovered the Muur Talisman's hiding place, deep in the Lower City of Taris. Pulsipher took the talisman back to the Waypoint on Jebble, where the talisman seemed to come alive and wrap itself around his wrist. When he then grabbed another Mandalorian, Pulsipher turned the other man into a rakghoul almost instantly. These new rakghouls, referred to as Mando-raks, were exceptionally smart and virulent.

After Pulispher's rakghouls captured Zayne Carrick, the Talisman sensed his connection to the Force and tried to attach itself to his body. Celeste Morne intervened, and the Talisman wrapped itself around her neck instead. The spirit of Karness Muur then appeared to Celeste, just before taking control of her body. In the days and weeks that followed, the Mandalorians launched an all-out search for Celeste Morne and the Talisman, and they were eventually able to destroy it once and for all. (KORH, KORV, KOR10)

Muura
This young Keshiri woman served as Vestara Khai's attendant, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. Despite the fact that Vestara was a Sith, she often felt that Muura's simple beauty was more pleasing than her own. (FJ2)

Muurbux
This was a common name among the Sauvax race. (UANT)

Muurian Transport
A 40-meter cargo and personnel mover, this wedge-shaped craft had a outrigged storage and weapons module. It had been rated at a top speed of 90 MGLT, and was armed with 2 turbolasers and 3 laser cannons. 80 SBD shields protect a 30-RU hull. (TIE)

Muurshantre Extinction
This mass-extinction of the galaxy's lifeforms was believed to have occurred more than 100,000 years before the Battle of Endor. (LSSM)

Muus, Jargool
This Gamorrean male was one of a group of bounty hunters contracted by the Empire to hunt down the Alliance agents who were investigating the construction of the Bissillirus Resupply Base. He was simply a blunt, intimidating, rude killer...nothing more, nothing less. (GMK)

Muut
This small creature, which was native to the planet Kesh, was domesticated and kept as a pet by the Keshiri and their humans neighbors. (FJ2)

Muuurgh
This huge Togorian stood nearly three meters tall, and was covered in patterned black fur. Muuurgh was betrothed to Mrrov while on Togoria, but she wanted to see the galaxy before settling down. She left the planet, and Muuurgh pursued her. He lost track of her on Ylesia, and opted to remain on the planet and work for Teroenza as a bodyguard. When Han Solo took the job of pilot for the t'landa Til, Muuurgh was assigned as Han's personal guard. Their relationship grew steadily during Han's tenure, until both beings trusted each other. When Han discovered the truth behind Teroenza's religion and plotted to escape, Muuurgh misunderstood his plannings as a direct attack on the t'landa Til. This went against Muuurgh's vow of service to Teroenza, and he tried to apprehend Han. Han quickly relayed the information that Mrrov was a prisoner at Colony Two, and Muuurgh was then convinced that Han was telling the truth. They developed an elaborate plan to get off the planet, which succeeded with only Muuurgh taking a blaster bolt in the side. Muuurgh and Mrrov returned to Togoria, where he soon recovered and they were married. They had two cubs, a male and a female, by the time Han and Bria returned to Togoria to recruit soldiers for the Battle of Ylesia. Both Muuurgh and Mrrov joined them. (TPS, RD)

Muvnc, Ral-Rai
This Sullustan was named by Mon Mothma to serve as the Supreme Commander of the New Republic's Ordnance and Supply division. Note that this character was otherwise known as Ral'Rai Muvunc, a Twi'lek, in many other sources. (SWJ7)

Muvon
This small B-7 freighter was owned by Brophar Tofarain, and was brought with him when he signed on as a crewman aboard the FarStar. It was a small ship, characterized by its cramped quarters and cluttered interior. The ship was stolen by Gorak Khzam and Nizzal, when they defected from the FarStar near the Qu'mock Station. (KO)

Muvon II
This was the Aegis-class shuttle acquired by Brophar Tofarain, after the loss of his first ship, the Muvon. (E)

Muvunc, Ral'Rai
This Twi'lek served as a member of the Alliance military and attained the rank of Supreme Allied Commander during the months following the Battle of Yavin. During this time, Muvunc also served as the Minister and Commander of Supply and Ordnance. It was Muvunc who proposed that privateers be contracted to help augment the Alliance's forces. Among his rationale were the facts that privateers could ambush Imperial and corporate convoys, obtaining supplies for the Alliance without expending Alliance resources. Privateering would also help alienate corporations from the Empire, as lost convoys meant lost profits. Admiral Ackbar was strongly opposed to the plan to use pirates in this manner, despite the continued success rate of the missions Muvunc authorized. Ral'Rai's proposal led to the Far Orbit Project. Note that the Star Wars Adventure Journal, Issue 7 claims this character was a Sullustan named Ral-Rai Muvnc. (SWJ2, FOP, PP, SWJ7, OWS)

Muwaa yourg
This was the Shyriiwook word for the number 7. (GPB)

Muz
This was a common name given to male Duros children. The name Muz came from the term meaning "hearty". (GCG)

Muza
This sentient race was native to the planet Muzara. They resisted the colonization efforts of the Brentaal League, some 4,000 years before the New Order, until the Jedi Knight Keval Raffaan mediated an agreement between the Muza and the human settlers. They were a nomadic species of hunter-gatherers who descended from nomadic ruminants. They could be aggressive when they needed to be, but often chose to work out their problems. (TOJC)

Muzara
This planet, located far from Coruscant in the Expansion Region, was first settled by the Brentaal League some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. They were unaware that the planet was inhabited by the Muza, and the Jedi Knight Keval Raffaan was dispatched to mediate an agreement between the two factions. (TOJC)

Muzzer
An Imperial Grand Moff serving the Empire after the birth of the New Republic, Muzzer was an obese man who was brash and exciteable. (GDV)

Muzzle
This was the name adopted by the ARC Trooper designated Alpha-66, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. After the end of the war, Muzzle left the service of the Grand Army of the Republic and formed the Aurodium Sword mercenary outfit. Although he was recognized for his service to the GAR by Imperial military personnel, Muzzle found that his treatment of Wookiee and other non-humans as free beings often clashed with the pro-human doctrines of the Empire. (SWI89)

Muzzle
This was the name used by Allana Djo Solo to describe the simian hand puppet she carried with her as a toy, during the years following the Alliance-Confederation War. (MF)

Muzzlian Squills
This trinket was often found in starport giftshops. (GMH)

MVD-1
This flitter was produced by the Mrlsst Motorworks. It measured 14 meters in length,and had an insectile body which could transport up to five passengers and a metric ton of cargo. These craft, although beautiful to see in flight, were not very durable, and had to be scrapped within ten years of use. (LOE)

M'Ven
This avian creature was native to the planet Goroth Prime. Its name literally meant "swooper," which described its preferred method of movement. These creatures, distinguished by their coarse, black feathers, were herbivores that fed on the various mosses found on the planet. (GSE)

MVR-3
This was one of Incom Industries' earliest attempts at developing a speeder bike, first produced during the height of the Old Republic. Because it was also one of the first speeder bikes ever developed, its design and form were considered very different from the more modern speeder bikes. The MVR-3 was a bulky vehicle, with a large tail section housing the repulsorlift and thrust engines, along with the vehicle's electronics and a storage bin. The semi-circular seat was located just behind a curved housing that held the controls, allowing the driver to sit in the curve with their feet in the stirrups. While modern speeder bikes made the MVR-3 seem comparatively slow, the MVR-3 was nevertheless extremely maneuverable and had larger than average cargo capacity. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, the Xi Char of Haor Chall Engineering developed an underwater conversion kit that allowed the Trade Federation to use the MVR-3 as a kind of submersible vehicle. (AEG, NEGD)

Mwa
This possessive pronoun from the Huttese lanugage meant "mine" when translated into Basic. (GPB)

Mxil, Mister
This Mon Calamari arrived on Port Haven shortly after Hallomar, and established the Haven's Water cantina. Mxil had once served as a chief steward aboard the Kuari Princess, but was fired from his job after speaking out against the Empire. With an Imperial bounty on his head, Mxil fled and ended up on Port Haven. He was known for brewing his own liquors and ales, and had discovered that many of the jungle plants found on Port Haven had medicinal or healing properties. Mister Mxil could also cook up a spicy stew, and he rarely charged a visitor for anything as long as they repaid his hospitality. (PSPG)

m'Yalfor'ac Order
This was one of the continental armies of the Bitthaevrian military, which was rumored to have defeated the Jedi Knights in battle shortly before the advent of the New Order. Based on the l'Quar'ta continent of the Bitthaevrian homeworld of Guiteica, the Order was sworn to eliminate two groups: Force-sensitives and Bothans. The m'Yalfor'ac detested the way in which Bothans avoided direct conflict, a trait which angered and frightened them because the Botthaevrians couldn't comprehend Bothan ways. During the height of the Galactic Empire, the m'Yalfor'ac Order was led by five beings, Colonel Quaal Tavier Catharius and his four subordinates. Despite rumors of its prowess, the m'Yalfor'ac Order was nearly destroyed by a force that was led by the Jedi Knights, many years before the onset of the Clone Wars, and was formed from Kaleesh soldiers who had been led to believe that the Bitthaevrians were a threat to their homeworld. The Old Republic had wanted the Order eliminated, in response to the Bitthaervian rebellion against the Republic. Although the Order was greatly reduced in manpower as a result of this action, the Order grew to number more than 10,000 fanatically loyal soldiers by the time of the Galactic Civil War. All but two of its members were Bitthaevrians, and its members represented more than eighty percent of the Guiteica Militia. With the advent of the New Order, the m'Yalfor'ac Order saw the Empire as the lesser of two evils, since anything was better than the Old Republic. (AIR, SWJ15)

M'yatak
This word from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "tool." (GPB)

M'yawa
This verb from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "to take." (GPB)

Mycogen
This small, bio-engineered organism was used by the Yuuzhan Vong to generate light. Entire colonies of mycogens were implanted into the walls of Yuuzhan Vong worldships, providing a ready source of bio-luminescence. (EVR)

Mycosia Flower
A species of plant with large pink blossoms, they were a favorite of Evir Derricote. They provided him with early experience in genetic manipulation. (MBF)

Mycroft
This temperate world was garrisoned by the Empire, in order to construct the M13 repair station in orbit above it. Mycroft had no sentient life, but had a temperate ecology which supported a variety of lifeforms. (SWCP)

Mygeetan
This race of small, simian creatures was native to the planet Mygeeto. The Mygeetans were virtually enslaved by the InterGalactic Banking Clan, during the decades prior to the Clone Wars, since the Muuns had little need for them. (RCTC)

Mygeeto
This crystalline world was covered with thin, ice-like sheets of nova crystals, making travel across its surface dangerous at best. The name Mygeeto came from the Muun word for "gemstone", and indicated its unusual environments. The native crystal worms that lived beneath the crystalline ice compounded the danger. Despite the inherent dangers, the InterGalactic Banking Clan seized control of Mygeeto and quickly began mining its crystals. The native population of small, simian Mygeetans was virtually enslaved by the IBC, who had little need for them. The planet was heavily guarded from orbit, ensuring that its crystalline riches were not stolen. The few cities that were estrablished on the planet were centered on crystal-processing facilities that were built well below the surface of the planet. These facilities synthesized specific types of crystal for power.

Mygeeto was singled out by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, during the last stages of the Clone Wars, as one of the Outer Rim worlds that would be targetted by the Grand Army of the Republic. According to Palpatine, the worlds of Mygeeto, Felucia, and Saleucami were a "triad of evil" that served as Separatist bastions. Ostensibly, Palpatine ordered troops to Mygeeto and several other worlds as a way to end the Outer Rim Sieges and bring the Clone Wars to a halt.

Many decades later, after the Yuuzhan Vong War, the Imperial Remnant assumed control of the planet Mygeeto, making it one of the largest and wealthiest banking worlds in Imperial Space. (OWS, LEV, SWDB, SWCL, RCTC, LF8)

Mygeeto
This was the Muun word for a gemstone. (SWDB)

Mygeeto Traffic Control
This agency was charged with ensuring that starship traffic moving to and from the planet Mygeeto was properly routed. Many incoming starships stopped over at Mygeeto to replenish their supplies of fresh water, so the Mygeeto Traffic Control operation often had to handle starships that landed in remote locations, instead ofat designated landing facilities. (RCTC)

Myill
This race of blue-furred creatures was enslaved by the Ghawem pirates and used as laborers. (SWJ8)

Myinyar
This female was a member of the Quara species of Aqualish. She helped a member of the Alliance obtain quantities of sedrellium from the Ando fishing platforms, stealing it from refineries which supplied the Empire with raw materials. (COG)

Mykal
This flying creature was native to the forests of the planet Kashyyyk. Mykals grew to have huge wingspans, using their wings to attack with speed and agility. These creatures were known to feed on the viper kinraths that inhabited the jungles of Kashyyyk, which made the mykals an important part of the ecosystem, despite the fact that the Wookiees considered them pests, and often killed them on sight. Other beings living on Kashyyyk later learned that the eggs of a mykal were both flavorful and nutritious, although acquiring them was a dangerous proposition. (KOTOR, WOTC)

Myke
This near-human race was characterized by their tall, thin bodies and gaunt faces. They had two small horns descending from either side of his chin. (HCE)

Myl Vlahu
This gas giant was the sixth planet of the Hoth's Brand System, located in the Teraab Sector of the Colonies Region of the galaxy. It was orbited by eleven moons. (SWMW)

Myles
This man was a member of the Mandalorian Shocktroopers, serving under Jango Fett some twelve years before the Battle of Geonosis. Myles was killed when he was cut in half by a Jedi Knight during the Battle of Galidraan. (JFOS)

Mylla, Miss
This female Falleen worked as a courtesan on the planet Lamaredd, during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. She operated the largest and most popular saloon in The Landing, which was located in the area known as Center Sphere. Any number of rumors about her origins have been debated in The Ring for many years, although it was known that she wasn't a native of Lamaredd. She arrived sometime before the Clone Wars, and had been a fixture in Center Sphere ever since. Although outwardly her relationship with Mix Liddell was strictly professional - mainly to ensure that her operations were legal - Miss Mylla was known to have said that Liddell was the only male who could get her to settle down and leave the Saloon. (GMR7)

Mylok IV
This planet was the primary world in the Mylok System, which was located in the Outer Rim Territories. Mylok IV was the homeworld of the Habeen and the Nharwaak races. (TIE, TIEP)

Myneyrsh
This was the term used to describe a single member of the Myneyrshi race. (DFR)

Myneyrsh
This was the native language of the Myneyrsh people, consisting of primitive snorts, honks, and vocalizations. There was no written form of the Myneyrsh language, and all information was passed down from generation to generation through oral histories. (UANT)

Myneyrshi
A race native to the planet Wayland, the Myneyrshi were known for their close-in blade combat skills. They had four arms (an upper set and a lower set), two legs, and had crystalline blue skin. Like the Psadans, they disliked any offworld races. The Myneyrshi also shunned technology, calling any piece of advanced technology an "item of shame." This aversion applied even to weapons, as evidenced by the saying, "A knife never runs out of ammunition." (DFR, TLC, EGA, MBS)

Mynkin
Native to the planet Mrlsst, this species of predator was humanoid in stature and stood over two meters in height. Their gangly arms were contrasted their stumpy legs, and their bodies were covered with plate-like scales that were colored in such a way as to cmaouflage the mynkin against a rocky background. The mynkin was armed with a mouthful of sharp teeth and heavy claws. (LOE)

Mynnic
This Jedi Knight was a consular during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Mynnic and his team - the Rodian Vinto, the Cerean Pal-Han-Das, and the Trandoshan Wertsnik - worked to resolve issues without the use of force. However, in a pinch, the team was able to act as a cohesive unit to deflect an attack. (GMR6)

Mynock
This species of winged parasite was one of the few species in the galaxy that possessed a body composed of silicon. Mynocks roamed the vacuum of space in search of their favorite food, pure energy. They were most often found in the vicinity of asteroid belts, where they could find a suitable asteroid to feed on, ingesting silicon and other materials until it was time to reproduce. Mynock reproduction was based on fission of a single mynock into two new mynocks, much like a single0-celled organism. Note that Lando Calrissian and the Mindharp of Sharu indicates that mynocks could reproduce in an atmosphere, just before dying.

The origin of the mynock species was unknown, but it was known that they could not fly through hyperspace by themselves. This caused many xenobiologists to assume that mynocks had a single origination system. They could grow to lengths of 1.6 meters before reproducing. Because mynocks fed on energy, they often attached themselves to passing ships, chewing holes in conduits from which they could draw the energy they need to survive. This led to the galaxy-wide assertion that mynocks were vermin, and they were reviled by spacers and regular space travelers for the damage and delays they caused.

The body of the mynock was quite simple, lacking a large number of complex organs. The leathery skin of the mynock assisted in the feeding process by efficiently absorbing electromagnetic radiation, but it was easily damaged by contact with helium. Because mynocks fed on energy, their strange, sucker-like mouths lacked teeth. Instead, the thick lips secreted a mild acid that allowed the mynock to breach a power conduit and suck the energy from it. This gave rise to the phrase "as rare as mynock teeth". (E5, MTS, LCM, NEGA, MF)

Mynock
This was the nickname used by Wedge Antilles to describe his astromech droid, R5-D2. (XWN, BW)

Mynock
This mid-level starship booster system was produced by Incom Industries, during the early years of the New Order. Several versions of the Mynock booster were produced, with varying levels of output power. (SWG2P)

Mynock
This was the name of the starship owned by Cade Skywalker, some 130 years after the Battle of Yavin. A converted, delta-winged transport vessel, the Mynock was a touchy ship that required constant monitoring and servicing. To protect himself and his crew, Cade added improved armor plating and shielding, as well as more powerful armaments. When Cade surrendered himself to Darth Krayt, he turned ownership of the Mynock over to his crew, Deliah Blue and Jariah Syn. When they tried to rescue Cade from the Sith Temple on Coruscant, they sold the ship to Chak'ka the Wookiee on orders from Morrigan Corde. The idea was to ensure that the Mynock was no longer recognized as being associated with Cade Skywalker. (OWS, SWI88, SWLH, SWLC)

Mynock
This independent smuggler was a supporter of the Alliance, during the Galactic Civil War, and often served as an intermediary between the Alliance and other independent spacers. "Mynock" worked from a base on the planet Calamari, often from the Fathoms restaurant. (FTD)

Mynock
This was the codename used by Jaina Solo and Jagged Fel to describe Javis Tyrr, a reporter who spent an inordinate amount of effort to follow their every movement, during the years following the Second Galactic Civil War. (FJ2)

Mynock 7
A space station. (SWJ11)

Mynock Cloud City
This dish was served at Cal'ulorn's restaurant, the Kavsrach. It was described in the menu as "a spicy combination of marinated mynock strips with vweilu nuts and Ithorian chale, in a lum sauce." (IJ)

Mynock Hole
This tavern, located in Vlarnya on the planet Courkrus, was the favored hangout of the Blackstar pirate force. Despite the disgusting appearance of the main barroom, the pirates maintained an opulent gambling establishment and brothel in a rear room, behind a code-locked door. (IJ)

Mynock Minute
This was a slang term used to indicate a very short period of time. (CWTV06)

Mynock Mud Pie
This was one of the many dessert foods served at Aucellis Park, on the moon Keriba VI, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (WOA27)

Mynock Muffins
This was an expletive used on many backwater worlds. (LCS)

Mynock Puffing
This was the term used to describe the sport that evolved from the eradication of mynocks. Spacers and xenobiologists both knew that the skin of a mynock reacted with helium, causing the body of the creature to expand and bloat. In the cruel sport of mynock puffing, individuals would don vacuum suits and exit their starships, looking for mynocks that might be attached, or trying to attach, to the ship. When a mynock was found, the individual would fire a helium-filled, adhesive grenade at the creature. Once the grenade was attached to the mynock's skin, it began releasing helium, causing the mynock to expand into a large ball. Because the grenades used a large amount of helium, the mynock eventually died from the exposure and floated away.

Although the practice of mynock puffing was considered cruel by many humane societies, it was met with general acceptance by the Free Spacers Guild, since it was essentially a way to eliminate the vermin and prevent starship accidents. (NEGA)

Mynock Stew
This was a disgusting dish that was created from the flesh of mynocks. (FJ3)

Mynock-class Assault Boat
This stubby, 44-meter warship was developed by Corellian Engineering Corporation to serve as a well-armed system patrol craft, during the early years of the New Republic. The Mynock-class assault boat required a pilot, co-pilot, and gunner, and could carry up to 24 troops. It was hyperspace-capable, and was armed with a turret-mounted quad-laser cannon, a concussion missile tube, a pair of medium ion cannons, and two chin guns. (CTD)

Mynock's Haven
A tavern in Coronet city, on Corellia. It was here that Haber Trell agreed to meet Borbor Crisk and transfer the false cargo being transported by Grand Admiral Thrawn, who was secretly disguised as Jodo Kast. (TFE)

Myntor
This burrowing predator was native to the Arblis Forest of Kothlis. It was protected by a hard shell, and moved about on four stout legs. The typical myntor was an ambush predator, creating a hole in the ground and covering with derbis, then waiting for an unsuspecting animal to fall into the trap. (SPG)

Mynus, Cor
This Imperial Intelligence agent was assigned to work with Bren-Jules Rordan some years after the Battle of Endor. His cover was that of a COMPNOR observer and trainee assigned to Rordan, given when the last agent was moved off of Kirima. He was a tall, gangly man with blond hair and blue eyes, and an appearance that belied his age. He reported directly to Kora Primos, providing information he gathered on Rordan and the activities of Corporate Sector and New Republic activities on Kirima. (TSK)

Myo
This possessive pronoun from the Neimoidian language translated into Basic as "my." A similar form of this word existed in the Huttese language, although it was sometimes shortened to mah or me. (GPB, SWLG)

Myo
This vicious Abyssin had won three separate fights during Bloodings before being captured by the slaver Malak. Using his physical prowess, Myo managed to escape during a refueling stop at Kinun Depot, and met up with Lirin Car'n. He booked passage to Tatooine with the kloo horn player, and was actually in the Mos Eisley cantina when Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi first met Han Solo, just prior to the Battle of Yavin. Shortly afterward, Myo met up with the Brubb known as Dorlar, who convinced the Abyssin to come to work for him on OM813. Myo agreed, and in a short time became one of the Galactic Outdoor Survival School's top desert survival teachers. (CCG, SWDB, AIR, OWS)

Myo 'ave brawd da contrak
This Neimoidian statement was of heard during business transactions. It translated into Basic as "I have brought the contract." (GPB)

Myo buckee
This was a variation on the Huttese phrase mah bukee, which translated into Basic as "my boy." This form of the phrase evolved during the decades following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, after the Hutt clans were scattered across the galaxy. (SWLG)

Myo bukee
This was an alternate spelling of the Huttese phrase myo buckee. (SWLHT)

Myo not fee werr

This muscle relaxant was used throughout the galaxy during the last years of the Old Republic. (MJH)

Myoflex
This was a thin plastic sheeting produced during the early years of the New Republic. (GUN)

Myomar
This planet, which housed an Imperial maintenance facility, was subjugated by Grand admiral Ishin Il-Raz in what became known as the Massacre at Myomar. Years later, Han Solo and Chewbacca once stole parts from there for the Millennium Falcon. The world joined the New Republic after the Battle of Endor, but was briefly occupied by Imperial forces under the command of Grand Admiral Thrawn. (SWSB, SOP, SWI66)

Myoplexaril
This was a form of muscle relaxant that was developed during the last decades of the Old Republic. There were several variants on the basic drug, each specially formulated for a specific species. (MJH)

Myostim Unit
A device which uses a sensor field coupled with adjustable, computerized electromyoclonic broadcasters to stimulate muscles. It can be programmed to alternately contract and relax muscles, thereby giving the user an intense physical workout while lying prone on the ground. The user can develop intense physical strength and muscle mass without a lot of equipment, time, or effort. Myostim units were originally developed to help combat muscular atrophy on low-gravity worlds. Medical research during the height of the New Order revealed that the units have certain side effects, including electromagnetic interference with the user's nervous system. Also, a being who had trained with a myostim unit and was forced to stop experienced rapid atrophying of the muscles they developed. Normal strength training was not a suitable substitute any more, and often caused more harm than good. (SE, SESB)

Myr, R'Ytha
This woman thought she knew Ace Azzameen from a party on Luxior 7. (XWA)

Myr Rho
This was one of two primary subspecies of the Cathar race. Like their counterparts, the Juhani, the Myr Rho were less feline in appearance than members of the baseline Cathar stock. This subspecies was believed to have beennamed in honor of the ancient Cathar business being, Myhr Rho. (PH)

Myra
A tentacled deity whose name was often used in vain by Rars Lefken. (SWSB)

Myra
Wedge Antilles' nickname for Mirax Terrik. (XWPA)

Myrat'ur
This being was one of the many pirates who served under Byalfin Dyur aboard the Boneyard Rendezvous, during the years following the Swarm War. (LF4)

Myrenia
This was the name of Coh Veshiv's personal Lambda-class shuttle, stationed aboard the Empire Forever. When Veshiv was captured by Dhas Vedij and the crew of the Far Orbit, they also took control of the Myrenia. (FOP)

Myriad Visual System - Mk.2
This was the imaging subsystem and software that was produced for use on a variety of droids that were equipped with photoreceptors. The Myriad system allowed the droid to "see" in a number of different modes, accepting signals from the photoreceptors and processing it according to the droid's internal commands. A normal, or "human", mode allowed the droid to see in the visual spectrum, rendering an image much like what a human might see. Other modes included a neon mode for enhanced color saturation, and an infra-red mode to see in low-light conditions. (CVD)

Myrial
This ancient noble was the provisional governor of the planet Argazda, and was known as the woman who seceded the Kanz Sector from the Old Republic and began seizing control of nearby planets. She ordered the enslavement of Lorrdians about 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, and ruled for about 300 years until her forces - known as Myrialites - were defeated by the Jedi Knights. (CSA, NECH, OWS)

Myrialite
This was the term used to describe the Argazdan soldiers who supported the rule of Governor Myrial of Argazda, during the centuries that followed the Great Sith War. The Myrialites were eventually defeated by the Jedi Knights, during the final conflict of the Kanz Disorders. (OWS)

Myris Pictures
This was one of Adarlon's largest holofilm studios, known for their big-budget movies during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN5)

Myrkr
A haven for smugglers and other not-quite-law-abiding groups, this planet was located in a system near the Borderlands Regions. It was also known as the indigenous home of the ysalamiri and the vornskrs. Much of its native plantlife stored metals as part of their existence, and the presence of these metals often dampened the effectiveness of scanners and communicators. The planet was first settled about 300 years before the Battle of Endor, and seemed to have gone unnoticed before then. Old Republic records, as well as those of the Jedi Order, make very little mention of the planet, however, and the Jedi simply left it alone. Myrkr had a 24-hour day, and a 324-local-day year. Some twenty ears after the defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn, Myrkr was attacked and overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong. A worldship was inerted into orbit around the planet, in which voxyn were bred for use against the Jedi Knights. The planet was referred to as "Myrkyr" in the early chapters of the Heir to the Empire comic series from Dark Horse, as well as in Force Heretic III: Reunion. (HTTE, DFR, HTSB, EGC, HTTEC, FH3)

myrlinator
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)

Myrmidon
This was a subspecies of gackle bat that was native to Yavin 4. (SWG2P)

Myrmin
This species of small, red, six-legged insect had a pair of feelers on its head and jaw pincers that helped them gnaw they prey to death. They were often chased and eaten by pittins. (CS, COJ, SWJ15)

Myrrack
This Mon Calamari was a noted artist and sculptor, during the height of the New Order. Myrrack was hired by the Dro family to repair their ceremonial fountain, which was transported to Calamari just before the planet Alderaan was destroyed by the first Death Star. (DIV)

Mysess
This unusual plant was native to the grottoes and dense forests of the planet Kashyyyk, where it produced wondrous blossoms. (SWGAL)

Mysess Glade
This forest area, located on the edge of the Kkowir Forest on the planet Kashyyyk, was named for the abundance of mysess blossoms that once grew on the ground. Much of the Mysess Glade was claimed by the Kerritamba tribe, although a nearby copse that surrounded the opening to a natural system of caves became home to the Myyydril clan of Wookiees. During the early years of the New Order, much of the Mysess Glade was devstated by an unknown contagion, which the Kerritamba Wookiees tried to identify and eliminate. It was later learned that the disease was called the Pultor Virus. The shamans of the Kerritamba tribe feared that the disease was being caused by the Myyydril clan of Wookiees, but they had no proof of any involvement. (SWGAL)

Myshand
This Snivvian word represented the number 3. (HNN5)

Myss, Aur
This Delphanian criminal was the leader of the Face Gang that formed aboard the prison barge Purge, about a year before the Battle of Yavin. Although the Face Gang was formed as a work crew, Aur Myss and his lieutenants made no effort to hide the fact that they were also the strongest of the gangs that roamed the ship's Gen Pop areas. In order to maintain his position of power, Myss dealt with his enemies in brutal fashion. His actions were not reserved for the general prisoner population, as evidenced by the fact that he had his chief lieutenant, Sixtus Cleft, executed after it was learned that Sixtus was making deals with other groups of prisoners. Among the prisoners who were working with Cleft were Kale and Trig Longo, who found themselves in deep trouble for their dealings with Sixtus. Rather than bow to Myss's demands, however, Kale Longo reached out and grabbed Myss by the jewelry that hung from his face and pulled, ripping Myss' lower lip off. This gave the brothers a chance to escape, but Myss knew that they could not go very far. He placed a ten-thousand-credit bounty on the Longos' heads, knowing that someone on the ship would turn them in. Myss then arranged to have himself transferred to a detention cell that was next to the cell that contained the Longo brothers, in order to further terrorize them into submission.

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, including Myss himself. 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, killing him instantly. However, the contagion inside Myss' body eventually reproduced in sufficient numbers to re-animate his corpse, and the shambling body set out to kill any other survivors and infect them with the contagion. When the survivors made their way to the derelict Star Destroyer, Myss was able to follow them, and soon hunted down Trig Longo. Myss might have killed Trig when their struggle took them to a wide ventilation shaft and they fell into its depths, but Trig was rescued by Jareth Sartoris, who had located a hovercraft and swooped in to catch the youth. The impact of hitting the shuttle dislodged Aur Myss, and the Delphanian fell to his second death. (SWDT)

Mysterious Stranger
This was the nickname given by Ajuur the Hutt to the survivor of the Endar Spire crash who participated in his gladiator event, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (KOTOR)

Mystic
This was the name used by Darth Bane to describe the Infiltrator series fighter he acquired as a personal transport vessel, some ten years after the Battle of Ruusan. In addition to its standar weaponry, the Mystic was equipped with a Class Four hyperdrive. Darth Bane used the Mystic to travel to Tython after his apprentice, Zannah, learned that Belia Darzu had hidden a Sith Holocron within the fortress she had built on the planet. (DBRT)

Mystic Burn
This disk-shaped freighter was a heavily-modified YT-1200 light freighter, measuring some thirty-five meters in length and armed with a single, turret-mounted laser cannon. The distinctive offset cockpit was mounted on the right side of the ship. The Mystic Burn could accommodate up to eight passengers and seventy-five metric tons of cargo. The sublight engine pods rose up from the rear of the ship, while the hyperdrive was situated between the pods. The ship was purchased by Deel Suroon from Harkan Resch, on the planet Naboo, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. Resch, who named the ship after the glow of its engines, was unable to afford the necessary repairs to the ship, and Suroon was able to purchase it for a good price. (GMR1)

Mystic Martial Arts of Squib Combats and Transactions
This was one of the largest bodies of knowledge established by the Squib, developed for the training of future members of te Reclamation Fleet. (HR)

Mystic Mob
This was a somewhat affectionate term used by the clone commanders of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe the Jedi Knights who were assigned to command roles within the GAR. (RCTZ)

Mystic Wanderer
This was the name of Kayala Ravein's PLY 3000 luxury yacht. Ostensibly, she used the yacht to travel on vacation or to attend social events across the galaxy. In reality, she was traveling under the alias of Ra Katana, pursuing and killing many of the galaxy's most vile criminals. (UA)

Mystifying Hoop Trick
Developed by an unusual alien and stolen by Wim Magwit, this unusual device defies any specific explanation of its operation. Essentially a pair of hoop-shaped frames which were studded with replaceable matter transmitters, the hoop trick seemed to instantly transport anything that passed through one hoop to the other. In this way, Magwit could hold one hoop in his hand and step into it, and re-appear from the other hoop. The exact method of matter transfer was unknown, although the transmitters themselves have to be constantly replaced from burnout. (EGW)

Mystra
A female bounty hunter who worked for Raskar, she wore a wrist blaster and a cybernetic vision implants which allow her to precisely target her prey. She introduced Han Solo and Chewbacca to Raskar, during their search for a power gem, after being alerted to their search by an agent on Junkfort Station. (CSW)

Mytag Crystal
This common crystal vertex was used as oscillators in ancient subspace communications and detection gear. Xim the Despot, realizing the need for wide-ranging communication for his forces, had planned to stockpile mytag crystals in his vaults on Dellalt. Thus, the Queen of Ranroon was loaded with crystals and other raw materials when it was hidden on Dellalt. When Han Solo discovered the starship, several years before the Battle of Yavin, he learned that the rumored treasure of Xim was really just a vast supply of military supplies. (HSL)

Mytaranor
This planet was located in the Outer Rim Territories, and served as the base of operations for the Mytaranor Slaving Council. (GMR7)

Mytaranor Sector
This area of the galaxy was known for the Mytaranor Slaving Council. (AIR)

Mytaranor Slaving Council
One of the galaxy's lesser-known slavery rings, this group was controlled by the former slave Talas Piran, who ran the operation from a base on the planet Mytaranor. Piran, in turn, was answerable to the Twi'leki crimelord Lonay. As part of Lonay's holdings, Mytaranor was at the beck and call of Black Sun during the Galactic Civil War. The Council plied the spacelanes of the Mytaranor Sector, but also provided slaves to a large number of mining operations and other "resource management" companies. (GG12, SESB, AIR, GMR7)

Myte
This was one of the smaller species of insects found on the planet Kubindi. Mytes resembled large, blue stones, an adaptation that allowed them to hide among other rocks and avoid being eaten more predatory species. (MIS6)

Mythosaur
This ancient reptile was once native to the planet Mandalore, until Mandalore the First and his warriors conquered the planet and wiped out the mythosaurs. It was generally believed that the skull-shaped markings on the armor of Mandalorian shock troopers was a stylized mythosaur skull, as an homage to the greatest predator to walk the surface of Mandalore. It was later discovered that the image was actually a reverential symbol for an ancient combat trainer. (SWI08)

Mythosaur Axe
This was the traditional weapon of the ancient Mandalorian Crusders. It was named for the mythosaur, which was once native to Mandalore until the species was wiped out by Mandalore the First. Calcified mythosaur bone was used to form the blade of the axe, with overlapping plates being honed to razor-sharpness. This overlapping pattern was repeated on each side of the handle, creating a deadly crescent of bone. Mandalore the Ultimate wielded a version of the mythosaur axe that was mounted to a heavy staff, and was forged from metals. It was also equipped with an energy cell that allowed it to cause additional damage to an opponent. (SWI80, WOTC)

Mythra
This was a valuable metal often used in jewelry settings. (SWJ8)

Myto, Keos
This Old Republic scout was given credit for discovering the hyperspace route known as Myto's Arrow. His ability to locate faster routes between existing points was well-known, and several corporations and financial firms contracted him to seek out these routes. One such route was to link Dantooine with Obtrexta Sector, which eventually became Myto's Arrow. (SWJ8)

Myto's Arrow
This hyperspace route, discovered by Keos Myto, was commissioned by several financial institutions to connect Dantooine with Obtrexta Sector. However, the route had to pass through a multitude of dust storms, nebulae, and other dangerous phenomena, and many of the planets along the way were of little use to developers. Over time, the route was abandoned. (SWJ8)

Mytus V
This planet was the fifth world in the Mytus System. It was the incorrect location of Stars' End given by Han Solo to Pakka, when the smuggler was trying to flush out Rekkon's murderer. Rekkon had left behind the correct location of Stars' End in a place where on Han would find it, which allowed the smuggler to trick Torm into revealing that he had murdered Rekkon. (HSE)

Mytus VI
This planet was the sixth world in the Mytus System. It was the incorrect location of Stars' End given by Han Solo to Torm when he was trying to flush out Rekkon's murderer. As he died, Rekkon had written the facility's correct location in a place on Han would find it. He then asked Torm to write down the location of Stars' End, hoping that Torm would make a mistake. Unfortunately for Torm, he used the correct location, Mytus VII. Thus, he was exposed as Rekkon's murderer. (HSE)

Mytus VII
This small world was the seventh planet in the Mytus System, located in a remote corner of the Corporate Sector of the Tingel Arm of the galaxy. Little more than a barren, airless planetoid, Mytus VII was the location of the Corporate Sector Authority's Stars' End penal colony. An asteroid belt separated it from the other planets and its primary sun, and the planet was orbited by a pair of tiny moons. (HSE)

Mytus VIII
This planet was the eighth world in the Mytus System. It was the incorrect location of Stars' End given by Han Solo to Atuarre, when the smuggler was trying to flush out Rekkon's murderer. Rekkon had left behind the correct location of Stars' End in a place where on Han would find it, which allowed the smuggler to trick Torm into revealing that he had murdered Rekkon. (HSE)

Myyydril
This clan of Wookiees was native to Kashyyyk, although their home city was destroyed by a group of Trandoshan slavers. They were welcomed into the families of Kerritamba Village until Hosdra tried to assassinate the leader of Kerritamba Village. The Myyydril were outcast from Kerritamba, ordered to flee into the jungles to survive on their own. They wandered for many days until they found the caverns hidden within the Mysess Glade. They made the caverns into a home, reviving the tribe in the hidden safety of the caves. Following the discovery of an odd, brain-like creature by one of the younger Wookiees a few years before the Clone Wars, the Myyydril tribe's numbers began to dwindle. The missing Wookiees were attributed to the so-called Urnsor'is, which multiplied in a separate cave and began feeding on the Myyydril Wookiees. An intense battle between the two groups of cave-dwellers ensued, and the Myyydril Wookiees were unable to find a way to defeat the Urnsor'is. It was during this time that the Poltur Virus began afflicting the Myyydril Wookiees, further decimating their numbers. A being by the name of Yraka Nes agreed to help them fight the Pultor Virus, helping them remain alive during the struggle for Myyydril Cavern. (SWGAL)

Myyydril Cavern
This was the name given to the cavern, located beneath the Mysess Glade on the planet Kashyyyk, that was inhabited by the Wookiees of the Myyydril tribe. (SWGAL)

MZ-8
Developing during the height of the New Order, this massive pulse cannon could be driven onto a battlefield during combat. The size of the weapon made it lumberingly slow at best, but the platform was well-armored. What it lacked in speed, though, the MZ-8 made up for in firepower. The heavy pulse cannon mounted into the main body could level a large building in a short period of time, making it an effective siege weapon. When threatened, the crew of the MZ-8 sould set the entire platform to self-destruct, creating an immense explosion that destroyed everything in a wide blast radius. (LAWS)

Mzerc
This alien was one of the Imperial supporters who attended the 13th Imperial Diplomatic Conclave on Phelarion. (CSWEA)

MZX32905 System
This was the designation of a remote star system that was located near Bimmiel and the MZX33291 System. Much of the system was dominated by a vast asteroid field. The woman known as Brisha Syo established a home on one of the larger asteroids, where she discovered the remains of an ancient race of Force-sensitive beings who were similar in appearance to mynocks. These ancient beings, according to Syo's research, were evolved from lesser beings, having developed sentience while living on the asteroid. They developed one of the earliest-known forms of tactile writing to record their history, indicating that their race had to Return to the asteroid, which was known simply as Home, in order to breed. Over the centuries, the race began to die of starvation, until one member discovered that they could commune with the Force. This individual eventually took control of the asteroid, and apparently was consumed by the Dark Side of the Force. The beings eventually died off, and the asteroid was abandoned for millennia until it a mining facility was established on its surface. The director of the mines kept the secret of its previous inhabitants to himself, and eventually fell prey to the Dark Side of the Force, becoming the Sith Master Darth Vectivus.

During the years following the Swarm War, the Dark Lady of the Sith Lumiya established her base of operations in the asteroid, drawing on the energy of the Dark Side to gain strength. From this base, she was able to reach out across the galaxy, and it was here that she fled to after being badly injured by Luke Skywalker at Roqoo Depot. (LF1, LF4)

MZX33291 System
Originally discovered by an Imperial survey team, this system was dominated by a pulsar that blocked communications into or out of the system. The fifth planet in the system, known as Bimmiel, was discovered to have been visited by the Yuuzhan Vong nearly fifty years before they attacked Belkadan and Helska. In the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, many astrocartographers came to refer to the system as the Bimmiel System. (DTO, LF1)
