2nd Regiment
Known as the Pathfinders, this branch of the Alliance Special Forces specialized in the scouting and reconnaissance of unknown terrain. (RASB, ROE)

Abeloth
This was the name adopted by the Force presence that inhabited the Maw cluster of black holes. Abeloth inhabited a jungle-covered planetoid within the Maw, which was the location of the so-called Font of Power. Despite the planetoid's predatory forms of life, Abeloth appeared to be in control of all life, and the carnvirous plants and vicious reptiles seemed almost docile in her presence. Although she was outwardly human in appearance, Abeloth changed details about her features based on the appearance of any other beings in her presence. This allowed Abeloth to fit in with any beings who discovered her presence. When a group of Sith led by Lady Olaris Rhea discovered the jungle world, some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, Abeloth initially attacked them in order to defend herself. She cocooned Yuvar Xal in purplish silk webs, and flung Vestara Khai and Ahri Raas to the ground with Force-augmented blasts of power. Once she realized who she was dealing with, Abeloth explained to them that she had been marooned on the planetoid some thirty years earlier, and that her isolation had left her mad enough to believe she was hallucinating when she encountered the Sith. Abeloth quickly revealed that she was more that willing to return with the Sith to their homeworld of Kesh, but she seemed surprised to learn that the Sith were on the planetoid in search of the meditation sphere known as Ship. Abeloth's demeanor changed as soon as Lady Rhea explained that the Sith were going to return to Kesh as soon as Ship was captured. The plants that had seemed to obey her commands returned to their wild state, and attacked the Sith at every opportunity. Abeloth's appearance began to change as well, with her body becoming more and more plant-like, while her face retained its human characteristics. When Ship explained to Vestara Khai that the Sith were as trapped on the planetoid as it was, Abeloth realized that she had regained control of the situation. She then urged Lord Xal to assume command of the mission, after Lady Rhea discerned the presence of Luke Skywalker near the Maw, prompting him to take control of Ship and set out to kill Skywalker. Lady Rhea asked if Abeloth herself still planned to return to Kesh with the Sith, and she adamantly expressed her desire to leave the planetoid with them. Abeloth then began to use her powers to influence Lady Rhea, insinuating that she could help her become a High Lord of the Sith. (FJ3)

Affa, Car
This male Weequay was known as a ruthless privateer, during the era of the Clone Wars. Car Affa was under investigation by the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Knights for selling Republic-issued weapons and equipment to the Separatists, and Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano were assigned to track him down. They two Jedi were able to track down and capture Car Affa at a bar in the G17 sector of Coruscant, and he was taken in for interrogation. (CWTV33)

Ai
This was a mild expletive used by the descendants of the Sith Lords who crash-landed on the planet Kesh, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (FJ2)

Airpainting
This style of painting was made popular on the planet Faro. (SWDT)

Almec
This man served as the Prime Minister of the planet Mandalore, during the height of the Clone Wars. When Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived on Mandalore to investigate the rumors that Duchess Satine Kryze was amassing a huge army, Almec met the Jedi Master when he arrived at the city of Sundari. Almec was adamant that the Duchess was committed to peace, and explained that the more violent members of Mandalorian society had been exiled to the moon Concordia. Almec also believed that Jango Fett had been little more than a bounty hunter who had stolen Mandalorian armor to heighten his own image. When Kenobi arrived at Sundari, Almec tried to reassure him that Mandalore remained loyal to the Galactic Republic, despite Duchess Satine's position of leadership on the Council of Neutral Systems. His concern about Mandalore's position only increased when it was learned that Pre Vizlsa was actually leadering the Death Watch. Almec feared that the general population of Mandalore would support the Death Watch, if Duchess Satine allowed the Galactic Republic to meddle with Mandalorian politics. (CWTV34, CWTV35, CWTV36)

Alpha Point
This was the codename used by the members of the Jedi Order and their closest friends to describe the secret medical base that was established on Shedu Maad, some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Alpha Point was set up to serve as a holding facility and medical research center, after many young Jedi Knights began experiencing strange, Force-related psychosis. The affected Jedi were believed to have been stationed at Shelter base, in the Maw cluster of black holes, during the era of the Yuuzhan Vong War. The Galactic Alliance was arrested two of the affected Jedi, Valin and Jysella Horn, and had encased them in carbonite to prevent them from doing any more harm. Jedi Masters Cilghal and Tekli realized that the other affected Jedi would not be safe in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, and so the former Jedi base on Shedu Maad was retooled to serve as their research center. (FJ3)

Ambase, Ring-Sol
A native of the planet Kynachi, this tall, silver-haired man was one of the many Jedi Masters who served the Jedi Order during the height of the Clone Wars. His hair had paled in color during his training and tenure at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, and the silver color belied his true heritage. About a year after the Battle of Geonosis, Master Ambase was called upon to investigate a piece of Separatist technology that was recovered from the wreckage of the warship Malevolence, and he was surprised and dismayed to learn that the technology had been produced by KynachTech Industries. Master Ambase was futher surprised when Supreme Chancellor Palpatine personally asked for his help in investigating the reason behind the use of KynachTech circuitry in Separatist technology. Ambase agreed to take the mission, although he demanded that his Padawan, Nuru Kungurama, remain on Coruscant and continue his training. The clone trooper unit led by Captain Lock was assigned to Master Ambase's mission, but as they set out to begin the investigation, Ambase had a sudden sensation that his Padawan was nearby, a sensation that became a strong contact when their task force reached Kynachi and was attacked by Separatist forces. Before he could do anything about his Padawan, however, Master Ambase and his clone troops were forced to abandon their ship and make their way to the planet's surface in escape pods. Ambase was injured and knocked unconscious when their escape pod crashed to the surface of Kynachi, and the clone troopers who were with him tried to carry him to a rendezvous point. They were intercepted by a Separatist battle droid patrol, and Master Ambase was taken captive and sent to a secure location, while the clones were imprisoned at the KynachTech Industries factory. Ambase's unconscious body was later recovered by Cad Bane, who had been hired by Darth Sidious to capture the Jedi Master and bring him to the fifth moon in the Bogden System. (SM1)

Ancient Hsoosh
This was another name for the Hsoosh language, which fell out of common use among the Falleen more than 2,000 years before the Second Galactic Civil War. (FJ3)

Andeddu's Keep
This crumbling edifice was once the primary residence of the ancient Sith Lord, Darth Andeddu. Located in a remote part of the planet Prakith, the Keep's existence remained a closely-guarded secret, allowing Andeddu to carry out his obligations to the Sith, while keeping his own ambitions secret. After his apparent death, Andeddu's Keep fell into ruin, because few beings knew of its existence. After a time, only the gatekeeper to Darth Andeddu 's Holocron remembered the location of the Keep, and would only reveal it to a Sith Lord who managed to discern the information in the Holocron. Darth Wyyrlok discovered the existence of the Keep some 137 years after the Battle of Yavin, while poring through the Holocron in search of knowledge that would keep Darth Krayt alive. The gatekeeper divulged the information after Wyyrlok let on that he might also use the knowledge to reanimate Andeddu's moldering corpse. Wyyrlok found the Keep in a state of disrepair, its outer façade damaged by some form of assault, but its inner chambers still retaining their grandeur even while falling to ruin. Living within the ruins of the Keep, Wyyrlok found a group of feral humanoids who lived to serve something they called the Malevolence, a reference to the Dark Side energies that permeated the castle. (SWLIC)

Anji
This was the name given to the nexu cub that was adopted by Allana Djo Solo, while Allana was living with her grandparents, Han and Leia Solo, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. The nexu cub had been orphaned when Jedi Knight Natua Wan had tried to eliminate the "imposters" she believed had done away with the Solo family at the Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition. Jedi Wan had opened all the cages that held the wild creatures that were on display, and the Solos and their Jedi companions were forced to kill a great many of the more dangerous creatures. Among the dead creatures was the nexu female that had given birth to Anji, and Leia Solo believed that it was only right that they take in the orphaned cub and raise it. In order to ensure a reasonable amount of safety for Allana, the Solos had Anji's quilled dulled and her claws clipped, and a special dental implant was inserted that prevented Anji from biting down hard enough to draw blood. (FJ3)

Apprentice
This was the rank given to those members of the Sith civilization on the planet Kesh who were chosen as students by a Sith Lord or Master. Apprentices were chosen from the ranks of the Tyros, and were forced to be separated from their family for a full year, immediately upon their choosing. During this year, Apprentices were rigorously trained by their Master, and were not allowed to have any of the trappings of a normal life until they were tested and ascended to the rank of Saber. In this way, an Appentice proved to their Master that they were capable of living - and succeeding - with nothing. Many Apprentices were bonded to an uvak prior to being chosen for training, and the creature was taken away by their Master as one of the first lessons. "As I take the reins of your beast, so I take the reins of your life" was the ritual expression used at this time, cementing the relationship between Master and Apprentice. If an Apprentice cried out at the loss of the uvak, the creature would be put to death, further driving home the lesson that a Sith Lord could not love anything so much that they could not bear to lose it. Further lessons included the living arrangements for Apprentices, which were austere and primitive. All Apprentices lived in a communal area that lacked privacy, reinforcing the idea that all Apprentices were equal. (FJ2)

Aramis
Distinguished by the connected-triangle tattoos on his face, this man served as Duchess Satine Kryze's personal pilot, during the final years of the Old Republic. When the Duchess traveled to Coruscant to plead for Mandalore's independence, Aramis was among the boidyguards and retainers who traveled with her. However, after the Duchess addressed the Galactic Senate, her speeder was attacked by an unknown Mandalorian soldier. Aramis died while trying to keep the speeder level long enough to allow Satine and the others to escape. The speeder finally crashed into a building, killing Aramis in the resulting explosion. Unfortunately for the Duchess, the explosion was officially reported as an accident, so no investigation was launched to discover Aramis' killer. (CWTV36)

Arelis, Avinoam
This dark-haired young man was one of the many Jedi Knights who served the Jedi Order during the years that followed the Swarm War. Arelis was known for his strong connection to the Force, which was matched in intensity by his cheerful spirit. Arelis was paired with Jaden Korr, Han Solo, and Leia Organa Solo on a mission to transport several ailing Jedi past the Galactic Alliance Security forces, some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, after the sick Jedi experienced Force-related psychoses. The Solos had hoped to transport them to a secure location where the Galactic Alliance could not locate them, but they were intercepted near the Krabbis Inn by a squad of Mandalorians who were being paid by Chief of State Natasi Daala. (FJ3)

Armitage
A native of the planet Faro, this man was one of the many corrections officers who served under Captain Jareth Sartoris aboard the prson barge Purge, about a year before the Battle of Yavin. Armitage, who was an accomplished airpaint artist who was distinguished by his well-coifed hair, was a recent addition to the ship's crew, and took constant ribbing from his new squadmates. He found a niche among his peers with his paintings, creating various images of scantily-clad females. When the Purge experienced problems with its thrusters and was stranded in the Unknown Regions, ICO Armitage, along with Vesek and Austin, were assigned to a task force led by Sartoris to investigate the presence of an abandoned Star Destroyer in their vicinity. The hope was that drive components from the larger ship could be salvaged to help repair the Purge. Upon returning to the Purge, Armitage was among the many crew members who suddenly became ill with a strange infection that seemed to have been encountered aboard the Star Destroyer. Armitage suffered greatly, and was one of the first crew members to die from the contagion. (SWDT)

Artorian
This was the name used to describe the human inhabitants of the planet Artorias. (INV1)

Assassin Probe
This was the term used to describe the spider-like assassin droids that were developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the height of the Clone Wars. Assassin probes were manufactured in two sizes, one for smaller targets and one for larger targets. The larger of the two assassin probes could also carry several smaller probes into given location and then disperse them, using its size to draw attention away from the smaller assassin probes. These smaller probes were carried inside the assassin probe's body, and were expelled through dedicated ports on top of the body whenever the assassin probe was disabled or deactivated. (CWTV35)

Asylum Block
This was the name assigned to the detention facility that was located within the reconstructed Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the years that followed the Swarm War. Asylum Block was segregated from the rest of the Temple by thick walls and an energy barrier, and was set aside to properly incarcerate Force-sensitive captives. Inside, Asylum Block was made up of several cellhouses that were essentially two-story apartments. Each cellhouse was separated from the others by another barrier field, but was well-appointed and quite comfortable. However, the relative comfort of each cellhouse was offset by the fact that the walls were made of transparisteel, and the olbio trees that were visible outside the cellhouse were filled with ysalamiri. (FJ2, FJ3)

Atar
This moustached man served as a Captain in the Galactic Alliance Security force, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Captain Atar and his squad were on duty, patrolling near Fellowship Plaza, when Bazel Warv and Yaqeel Saav'etu began to experience strange symptoms. The two young Jedi Knights fell under the influence of the same kind of Force-related psychoses that were affecting other Jedi of their generation, and Yaqeel went so far as to draw her lightsaber when she believed Bazel had been replaced by an imposter. She was quickly tranquilized by Han and Leia Solo, but not before Bazel experienced his own problems and tried to escape. The Solos also tranquilized the Ramoan, but he fell over a hedge and landed on the limousine of the Imperial Chief of State, Jagged Fel, which was parked near the Jedi Temple. These events drew Atar's attention, who tried to intervene and take the two Jedi captive before they were whisked away into the Temple. While Atar demanded that Leia Solo explain the situation, his men moved into position to hold Fel's driver at gunpoint. Fel, who had recently become engaged to Jaina Solo and knew of the strange events surrounding the young Jedi, stepped in and demanded to know why Atar and his men were ignoring the diplomatic codes the limousine was using. Atar stumbled for an answer, finally explaining that his team was tracking to criminally insane Jedi. Fel's actions gave Han and Jaina Solo a chance to move Warv and Saav'etu into the Temple, forcing Atar to produce a warrant for the arrest of any Jedi who might pose a menace to the general population. Although Leia Solo claimed that the warrant looked valid, she asked to take it to the Jedi Council for verification. Atar demanded that Warv and Saav'etu be turned over immediately, but by this time, the Solos had moved within the security perimeter that protected the Jedi Temple. Leia quickly hit the switch that secured the Temple grounds, then told Atar to wait where he was until they returned. Atar found himself stuck outside the Temple without his captives, having been deftly maneuvered by the Solos.

In the days that followed, Captain Atar was called to a Galactic Alliance Storage facility, where Jaina Solo and a group of Jedi Masters had attempted to visit Valin and Jysella Horn. The two Rodian guards, Weeze and Rosii, tried to hold the Jedi at bay, but they had a writ that indicated they were allowed to visit the to Jedi Knights at the facility. Atar and his men initially refused to acknowledge that the storage center was actually a prison facility, until the Jedi cornered him by claiming he was ignoring the orders of the Galactic Justice Center. Without a way to remove the Jedi, Atar was forced to escort them to the holding facilities where the Horns were being maintained. His frustration turned to embarrassment when he had to take them to the executive levels of the facility, which showed the Jedi that the Horn siblings were not being held as prisoners, but as trophies that were placed on display. (FJ3)

Austin
This man was one of the many corrections officers who served under Captain Jareth Sartoris aboard the prson barge Purge, about a year before the Battle of Yavin. When the Purge experienced problems with its thrusters and was stranded in the Unknown Regions, ICO Austin, along with Vesek and Armitage, were assigned to a task force led by Sartoris to investigate the presence of an abandoned Star Destroyer in their vicinity. The hope was that drive components from the larger ship could be salvaged to help repair the Purge. Aboard the Star Destroyer, however, Austin developed a hacking cough that was later linked to the unusual virus that was being developed aboard the huge ship. Upon returning to the Purge, Austin was sent to the infirmary, although he initially refused to be treated by Doctor Zahara Cody. Like many other Imperial officers, Austin felt Cody was inferior because she was a civilian, and he asked to be treated by the ship's 2-1B droid, which had been nicknamed Waste. Austin also refused to explain what had happened aboard the Star Destroyer, claiming that Cody wouldn't really care anyway. Cody tried to make sure Austin was treated, but he died within hours of returning to the Purge. (SWDT)

Azetal
This specialized gas was used in handheld torches and cutting equipment. It could be stored in small, refillable cylinders, which could then be attached to the nozzle of the torch. (FJ3)

B2-series Heavy Super Battle Droid
This was the designation of a series of combat droids developed from the B2-series of super battle droids. These Separatist droids were equipped with upgraded defensive systems and a dedicated missile launcher installed in place of the left arm. (SWMW)

B2-Series Super Battle Droid Commander
This variant on the B2-series Heavy Super Battle Droid was equipped with a set of built-in command functions that gave the droid limited ability to operate independently, in the event that it was disconnected from a centralized droid control system. This allowed the droid to lead a small force of battle droids against any enemy force, even though the force was no longer being directed by a military computer control system. (SWMW)

B3-A Series Battle Droid
This variant on the B3-series battle droid was not equipped with a density projector, which took away some of the weight of the standard B3-series unit. (WOTC)

Bannamu
This yellow-skinned Patrolian was a small-time thief and pickpocket who was living in the G17 district of Coruscant's Galactic City, during the final years of the Old Republic. During the height of the Clone Wars, Bannamu witnessed a pair of Jedi Knights approach a bar, although only one went in. When the patrons of the bar began to run out of the establishment to avoid any trouble, they rushed past the other Jedi, knocking her to the ground. Bannamu moved into the crowd and stole the Jedi's lightsaber, then melted into the crowd before returning to his apartment at the Spider Arms Hostel. The female Jedi turned out to be Ahsoka Tano, who enlisted the help of Jedi Master Tera Sinube to locate Bannamu in his apartment. Rather than face any trouble, Bannamu quickly revealed that he had already sold the lightsaber to Nack Movers. (CWTV33)

Bantha
This was a codeword used by Jaina Solo and Jagged Fel to describe a speeder. They used the term during the years that followed the Second Galactic Civil War, when their every move was chronicled by the news media. (FJ2)

Bantha Patty
This was a form of meat patty that was made from ground bantha steak. (SWDT)

Barrat Stew
This was a simple yet hearty meal that was produced by the human Sith who lived on the planet Kesh. It was often served with oro bread. (FJ2)

Barrga
This ancient Hutt was one of the many leaders of the Hutt Crime Cartel, during the era of the Great Galactic War. (SV)

Battle of Garos
This was one of the many battles that took place during the months that followed the Battle of Endor, and the New Republic tried to assume control of the galaxy from the Galactic Empire. In the wake of the Clone Wars, the Empire had subjugated the native Garosians, who harbored nothing but ill will toward their new masters. They secretly began to aid the Alliance, and did everything possible to disrupt the Empire's efforts on Garos IV. Once the Alliance had claimed victory at Endor and had consolidated its military forces, an effort was made to free the Garosians from Imperial control, to payback their continued support. The natives added their own military forces to those of the New Republic, and the Imperial forces who had controlled the planet were eventually defeated and forced to abandon the system. (TFE)

Battle of Kirrek
Following the end of the First Unification Wars, the planet Kirrek had been brought under control by the forces that were led by Empress Teta, and augmented by the Jedi Knights. Kirrek rebels, led by Llaban, put down their arms and agreed to serve the Tetan empire in exchange for amnesty, Empress Teta accepted their surrender, but knew that the situation on Kirrek was far from stable. Sith forces were already attacking planets during the early stages of he Great Hyperspace War, prompting Empress Teta to ask Llaban to prepare Kirrek for a possible Sith invasion. This foresight proved to be invaluable, as the Sith soon swept over Kirrek in an attempt to take advantage of the relative peace that followed the first Battle of Kirrek. The forces led by Llaban were augmented by Tetan and Republic forces led by Jedi Masters Odan-Urr and Ooroo, but the Sith had the advantage of sheer numbers on their side. Llaban was forced into retreat, and the Jedi found that their battle meditation techniques were insufficient to carry the battle in their favor. Sensing defeat, Master Ooroo opened the canister that contained the cyanogen gas that kept him alive, sacrificing himself in order to kill as many Sith as possible. This tactic did eliminate a large portion of the Sith army, but more warriors filled the spaces of the dead, forcing the Kirrek forces into further retreat. It was at this point that reinforcements from Ronika arrived to supplement Llaban's combine armies, and this infusion of new soldiers turned the tide of the battle against the Sith. Kirrek was eventually liberated, precipitating the end of the Great Hyperspace War. (FOSE, FJ3)

Battle of Malastare
This battle, which took place during the height of the Clone Wars, marked the Galactic Republic's first use of the electro-proton bomb against the droid armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Although the Republic would later claim victory, the explosion of the bomb also unleashed a zillo beast that had lain dormant beneath the surface for generations. (CWTV40)

Battle of Malastare Narrows
This conflict took place several years before the onset of the Clone Wars. A task force of ships was dispatched by the Galactic Republic to the planet Malastare, where a fleet of corporate-owned vessels was blockading the planet. The corporate ships were commanded by Admiral Trench, an arachnid-like being known for his cunning and tactical skills. The Republic's forces were ultimately victorious, and it was believed that Admiral Trench was killed in the fighting. (CWTV38)

Baxton
This man served Imperial Chief of State Jagged Fel as his personal driver, during the years following the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Baxton was well-trained in several military disciplines, and was not afraid to draw a blaster in order to protect Fel. Thus, when Bazel Warv was rendered unconscious and fell onto the limousine Fel was using to move through the cityscape of Coruscant, Baxton drew his T-21 blaster and prepared for a fight. When Fel explained that the situation needed to be controlled by the Jedi Order, Baxton put away his weapon and kept his mouth shut about the incident. However, he refused to be bullied by the Galactic Alliance Security officers that arrived on the scene, and openly defied them while Jag worked with the Solo family to ensure that no Jedi were taken prisoner by the government. Before Jag and Jaina Solo were able to leave the scene, Baxton had to invoke diplomatic regulations in order to ensure they were not detained, although Captain Atar threatened to find a way around Fel's political immunity if it continued to impede his investigation of the Jedi Order. (FJ3)

BeamStreak
This was the brand name of a military-grade airspeeder model that was produced by Aratech Repulsor Company, during the years that followed the Swarm War. BeamStreaks were noted for their steep price tag and their ability to attain incredible speeds. They were so fast that Aratech chose to advertise the BeamStreak by stating that any crash that occurred at speeds would certainly kill the speeder's occupants. (FJ3)

Benzodi
This was a form of tranquilizer drug that was developed during the year following the Yuuzhan Vong War. It was milder than somatoll, and could be used on species that were allergic to other forms of tranquilizers. (FJ3)

Beyond Shadows
This was the term used by the Mind Walkers to describe the place they traveled to, whenever they immersed their minds in the Force. Mind Walkers went beyond shadows to embrace the Force in its purest form, abandoning their physical bodies as merely vessels that were created to carry their Force presence. (FJ3)

Bio-Lab 177
This was the scientific facility that was located aboard the derelict Star Destroyer that was discovered by the crew of the prison barge Purge, about a year before the Battle of Yavin. Bio-Lab 177 was set up to allow scientists aboard the Star Destroyer to grow complete pairs of human lungs, without the need for a human body in which to grow. A huge vat was developed to hold the growing lungs, which were suspended in a nutrient bath that was continually filtered and replenished. These pairs of lungs were developed so that they could literally breathe on their own, without a connection to a human brain. Each pair of lungs was connected to an artificial voicebox, which could be used by the scientists to verify that the lungs were functioning properly. The creation of organic lungs was necessary because the contagion that was the focus of Imperial Bioweapons Project I71A seemed to attack the lungs of its host, taking over respiratory functions in order to re-animate a corpse and spread itself to other hosts. (SWDT)

Bio-Lab 242
This biological research laboratory was located aboard the Star Destroyer that served as the mobile development facility for Imperial Bioweapons Project I71A, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Bio-Lab 242 served as the central data-processing center for the project, where computer systems modeled the effects of the project's primary contagion. Doctor Zahara Cody located the bio-lab after she and a group of survivors from the prison barge Purge made their way onto the Star Destroyer. Inside the lab, she found a working 2-1B medical droid that explained the entire project to her. It also told her of the huge concentration of pure contagion that were stored aboard the Star Destroyer, providing her with the knowledge that the corpses who were re-animated by the contagion could not function if they were too far from the source. (SWDT)

Bioscan
This was a generic term used to describe any starship scanning or sensor system that could detect the presence of lifeforms, either within the ship itself or within another vessel that was within scanner range. (SWDT)

BL-1707
see A-1707 (SWRV)

Black Empty Void
This was a very strong expletive used by many humanoids, during the years that followed the Swarm War. "What the black empty void was that?" was a strong question about something that was at once frightening and confusing. (FJ3)

Blackout
This was the nickname of one of the clone troopers who served aboard the Jedi Cruiser Negotiator, serving under Obi-Wan Kenobi during the height of the Clone Wars. Blackout took the rookie trooper known as Spark under his wing, giving the newcomer the information he needed to fit in with the crew and prepare for battle. The Negotiator was dispatched to the planet Christophsis, as part of a mission to deliver supplies to the beings who were trapped on the planet when Separatist forces took control. Blackout and Spark were chosen to accompany Anakin Skywalker and Admiral Wullf Yularen aboard a prototype stealth ship, and the group relied on the ship's cloaking device to get them past the Separatist blockade. (CWTV38)

Blackwing
This was the codename for Imperial Bioweapons project I71A, a plan for a galactic virus dispersal and distribution algorithm that was developed aboard a secretly-deployed Star Destroyer, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. (SWDT)

Blandings
This man was one of the many corrections officers who served under Captain Jareth Sartoris aboard the prson barge Purge, about a year before the Battle of Yavin. When the Purge experienced problems with its thrusters and was stranded in the Unknown Regions, ICO Blandings was assigned to a task force led by Sartoris to investigate the presence of an abandoned Star Destroyer in their vicinity. The hope was that drive components from the larger ship could be salvaged to help repair the Purge. Blandings became the fourth man on the search team to experience a thick, hacking cough and heavy sweating that seemed to have no direct cause. Upon returning to the Purge, Blandings' condition worsened rapidly, and he died within hours. (SWDT)

Blast Door
This was a generic term used to describe any thick, reinforced portal that could be closed in order to prevent a building or installation from being affected by the force of an explosion. Blast doors could placed in strategic locations, including entry portals or corridors, so that an enemy force could not simply blast their way into key locations. Early blast doors were manufactured from durasteel, although heavier-duty units were later constructed from tunqstoid. Although the exact model depended on the manufacturer, most blast doors employed overlapping panels to augment their strength, with panels sliding across each other to form an effective barrier against projectile weapons, concussion weapons, and blaster fire. The thickness of a blast door also served as a deterrent to lightsabers, although the heat and energy of a lightsaber blade could cut through and eventually melt the material used to form the blast door. (E4, E1, FJ3)

Blinroot
This root vegetable was popular among the natives of the planet Kynachi. (SM1)

Bloah
This was a slang term used to express an individual's resigned acceptance of a situation. (FJ3)

Boll, Sionval
see Boll, Sionver (CWTV41)

Boll, Sionver
This female Ongree served as the chief scientist in charge of the Galactic Republic's development of the electro-proton bomb, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Doctor Boll was dispatched to oversee the bomb's initial deployment, at the Battle of Malastare. While the bomb performed more or less as expected, it set off a massive seismic reaction that created a huge sinkhole at the point of its detonation. The creation of this sinkhole exposed a long-dormant zillo beast, which emerged from the sinkhole and began to terrorize the Republic's forces. Chancellor Palpatine wanted the creature killed, so that the Dugs would sign a treaty that allowed the Republic to gain access to the starship fuel they produced, but Doctor Boll believed that the creature might be the key to further advances in Republic defenses. When Anakin Skywalker suggested a way to secure the creature while making the Dugs believe it had been killed, Chancellor Palpatine ordered Doctor Boll to learn the secrets of the creature, especially its scales, which were impervious to both blasterfire and the blade of a lightsaber. Doctor Boll and the Jedi were both surprised when Palpatine ordered them to transport the creature to Coruscant, rather than a secure laboratory in the Outer Rim, but she went along with the Chancellor's orders.

On Coruscant, Doctor Boll tried everything possible to keep the creature alive while extracting samples of its scales and other body parts. The scales resisted all attempts to cut into them, and Doctor Boll feared that the only way to remove a scale for processing would be to kill the beast. Palpatine then ordered her to kill the beast, or else he would find another scientist to work with the creature. During their discussion, Doctor Boll noticed that the creature seemed to recognize the Chancellor, and began to wonder if there was a level of sentience in the zillo beast's brain. However, Doctor Boll reluctantly accepted the Chancellor's decree, and ordered the creature to be euthanized. The zillo beast resisted, and eventually broke free. It terrorized Galactic City until Republic forces were able to kill the creature, and Palpatine ordered its body taken to a secure facility where Doctor Boll could continue her investigation by cloning the creature. (CWTV40, CWTV41)

Bolt Squadron
This squadron of T-65XJ5 ChaseX starfighters was part of the Galactic City Air Traffic Control fleet, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Bolt Squadron was deployed to intercept the Millennium Falcon when Han Solo flew a decoy mission during an attempt to transport ailing Jedi Knights to Shedu Maad. (FJ3)

Bomb-bon

Breaker
This was the nickname used to describe the clone trooper designated CT-8863. This nickname was given to CT-8863 by Captain Lock, primarily because of his knowledge of electronic circuitry and other technology. Breaker also had an ability to discern key details about his surroundings, but Lock had already given the nickname Sharp to clone trooper CT-4012, so he settled on the nickname Breaker. Initially, CT-8863 questioned the nickname, fearing that it meant that he was better at breaking technology than fixing it. Captain Lock had to explain that the nickname referred to a circuit breaker, which made CT-8863 feel better about the nickname. Breaker and his unit were assigned to the clean-up mission that followed the Galactic Republic's defeat of General Grievous and the destruction of the Malevolence, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. They were then assigned to Jedi Master Ring-Sol Ambase, who was leading the investigation into the appearance of KynachTech Industries circuitry aboard the Malevolence. Breaker remembered very little of the pre-mission preparations, though, because Ambase's Padawan, Nuru Kungurama, used the Force to cloud his mind and hide the fact that Breaker had seen Nuru stowing away aboard their ship. Their ship was attacked by Separatist forces when it reached Kynachi, and Breaker was forced to abandon ship with Chatterbox, Knuckles, and a blue-skinned youth.

Upon landing on the surface of Kynachi, Breaker questioned the young boy, who claimed to be Master Ambase's Padawan. Although Breaker stated that Ambase's Padawan was named Heckle Wiriest, the youth explained that he was Nuru Kungurama, which Breaker knew to be the Padawan's real name. Breaker and the other clones then turned to Kungurama for guidance, and the young Padawan decided they should disguise themselves as unemployed farmers and make their way to the city. They were taken in by Lalo Gunn, but were soon intercepted by a group of Separatist battle droids. Cad Bane, who was working for Darth Sidious to capture Master Ambase on Kynachi, helped destroy the battle droids, and then agreed to help the group infiltrate the KynachTech Industries factory. During the mission, and unknown to Kungurama and the other clones, Breaker set off on his own to take out the communications jamming equipment the Separatists had installed at KynachTech. When communications were restored, Breaker made a simple report to the nearest Republic outpost, which alerted Darth Sidious to actions of Kungurama and the others. While making his way back to the others, Breaker was injured in the wave of explosions that were set off by Overseer Umbrag. With his left leg shattered, Breaker was unable to move fast enough to escape the factory's destruction. He warned the others about the dangers, but was crushed when a collapsing wall fell on top of him. Lalo Gunn's former navigator droid, known to the clones as Cleaver, managed to extract Breaker's body from the rubble. Along with his broken leg, Breaker suffered three broken ribs when the wall collapsed on him, but he was able to make a full recovery. (SM1)

Breakout Squad
This was the nickname adopted by the clone trooper unit that accompanied Jedi Padawan Nuru Kungurama to the planet Kynachi, during the height of the Clone Wars. The clone troopers were originally assigned to Kungurama's Master, Ring-Sol Ambase, but they were separated when their transport ship was intercepted by Separatist forces. The clones, including Breaker, Chatterbox, and Knuckles, were able to infiltrate the KynachTech Industries factory and locate the prison facility that had been constructed in its lower levels. With help from Lalo Gunn, they were able to open the prison cells and let the beings who were being held there go free. Among the captives were several other clone troopers who had arrived with Master Ambase. When the clones questioned their rescuers, Knuckles explained that they had been set free by Breakout Squad. (SM1)

B'reen, Grish
This Chistori male was one of the handful of pilots who survived the tests of Imperial agent X-7, who gathered a group of pilots near Iope to test out their skills. X-7 was searching for Luke Skywalker, during the months that followed the Battle of Yavin, and hoped that he could take advantage of the galaxy's best pilots to help him hunt down and eliminate Skywalker. B'reen and three other pilots - Div, Fallon Pollo, and Clea Sook - managed to survive X-7's tests, and were given the opportunity to hunt down Skywalker. However, their attempt to ambush Skywalker at Kamino was met with strong opposition from Skywalker and his fellow X-Wing pilots, and only a couple of Alliance ships were able to escape. B'reen and his companions were forced to land their damaged ships at Research City, where they regrouped and set out to locate Skywalker. The group, including Div and Clea, managed to locate Skywalker and Han Solo, but B'reen was angered when Div ordered him to holster his weapon. However, while he and Div were arguing, Clea Sook snuck up to Div and placed the muzzle of her blaster against his head, and demanded that he either kill the rebels or die with them. Following her lead, B'reen drew his weapons and aimed them at Skywalker and Solo. However, it was at that moment that the creature which had been created by Imperial scientists at Research City attacked, swallowing B'reen whole before turning its attention to the other pilots. (RF4)

Brillizard
This unusual reptile was distinguished by its ability to capture its prey and then transport it back to a common location, where all the individuals in its lair could share the prey. The prey was not harmed by the brillizard, and was often delivered to the community nest alive and intact, so that others could take part in its killing. This served to bring food to the entire lair, and allowed younger brillizards a chance to test their hunting skills. (RF4)

Brunet System
This Star System was located in a remote corner of the galaxy. (SWDT)

Bugbent
This was a slang term used to describe the mental and emotional condition of a Joiner. (FJ3)

Burtoni, Halle
This female Senator from the planet Kamino was part of a group that proposed increasing the Galactic Republic's involvement in the Clone Wars. An elderly Kaminoan even by her people's standards, Burtoni had used her homeworld's monopoly on clone production to obtain a seat on the Galactic Senate, and was not afraid to get involved with unpopular legislation, often branding those Senators who voted against her as working against the Republic. Senator Burtoni was at the forefront of a small faction that asked for increased production of clone troopers to offset the losses that were being suffered on the battlefield. When their efforts were opposed by Senators Padme' Amidala and Lolo Purs, Senator Burtoni accused them of being Separatists for their anti-war speeches. In the days that followed, Senator Onaconda Farr was murdered by what appeared to be a Kaminoan chemical that was designed to affect only Rodians. Senator Burtoni adamantly insisted on her innocence, even after Senator Lolo Purs claimed to have been attacked by the Kaminoan. However, Senator Amidala remembered that Senator Purs was not affected by the chemical, even though she had been with Senator Farr at the time. Senator Purs was later found guilty of the murder, and her incarceration removed another Senator anti-war Senator from the debate. In a meeting that followed, Senator Burtoni and her allies were then able to gather enough votes to approve the production of more clones. (CWTV37)

Calhava bru'chun dralshye'ran
This was a defiant phrase used by the terrorists who were part of the Death Watch, which re-emerged on the moon Concordia, during the final years of the Old Republic. (CWTV34)

Cam Bubble
This was a generic term used to describe the small, enclosed camera systems that were developed for use in guarding buildings and other installations. Created in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong War, cam bubbles were produced in various sizes, from large units that made it obvious a being was being watched, to small units that could be hidden in the joints and crevices on a building's exterior surface. Cam bubbles were developed to be more aesthetically pleasing that simple surveillance cameras, because their spherical shapes were easier to blend into a building's architecture. (FJ3)

Cam Van
This was another name for a newsvan. (FJ3)

Camoperator
This was the term used to describe any being who worked in the news and journalism field, managing the various camera droids and hand-held recording devices that were used by reporters. (FJ3)

Valanti usually accompanied Lina Zev, who served as Jaina's double, and was known as Curved. (FJ2)

Casiss
This short-statured Felucian was the leader of a small settlement of farmers who were forced to turn over a portion of their nysillin crop to Hondo Ohnaka and his pirates, during the height of the Clone Wars. Casiss and his fellow Felucians were powerless to stop the pirates from taking the nysillin as protection money, until Sugi and her band of bounty hunters were hired to defend the settlement. This arrangement seemed to work fine, until three Jedi Knights - Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Ahsoka Tano - crash-landed nearby and were forced to look for a way off Felucia. With the aid of the Jedi, Casiss believed that they could finally drive off the pirates for good. Kenobi feared that their presence on Felucia would bring Separatists to the village, which would cause more trouble for the Felucians, but Skywalker agreed to help the villagers learn how to defend themselves. (CWTV39)

Chasm of Perfect Darkness
According to the ancient Tythonians who followed the Ashla principles, the Chasm of Perfect Darkness was a deep, dark canyon that was surrounded on all sides by high, crumbling cliffs and rock walls. The canyon represented the life of an individual, and the crumbling cliff walls represented the darkness that always threatened to fall on top of the individual and bury them. By passing safely through the Chasm of Perfect Darkness, the individual could attain a state of true enlightenment. (FJ3)

Chatterbox
This was the nickname used by Clone Captain Lock to describe clone trooper CT-5177. The nickname was ironic, because CT-5177 was known among his squad mates for his quite and taciturn demanor, and he rarely spoke unless spoken to by a commanding officer. Their unit discovered the wreckage of the Malevolence on a barren moon in the Kaliida Nebula, but they were apprehended by a battle droid that had survived the crash. The droid used its blaster to fire a stream of bolts at the clones, and one of the bolts managed to catch Chatterbox in the chest. The others feared that he was dead, but Captain Lock quickly found that Chatterbox was still alive. The other clones transported him back to the Demolisher, where he was able to recover from his injuries. It was during his recovery that Chatterbox received his new nickname. The clones serving under Captain Lock were then assigned to Jedi Master Ring-Sol Ambase, who was leading the investigation into the appearance of KynachTech Industries circuitry aboard the Malevolence. Their ship was attacked by Separatist forces when it reached Kynachi, and Chatterbox was forced to abandon ship with Breaker, Knuckles, and Nuru Kungurama, who had stowed away on the ship. (SM1)

Chaz
This man served as Alex Winger's wingman, and was a member of Blue Suqadron, during the early years of the New Republic. The pair were on patrol duty when an Imperial fleet arrived in their vicinity. Although they had plenty of warning, Alex's fighter was disabled and drawn aboard the Star Destroyer Judicator. Chaz was forced to leave her behind in order to return to the main Republic fleet and warn them about the Imperial presence in the area. (TFE)

Chsthiss
In the native language of the Kobok race, this word meant "good-bye". (RF4)

Cimarosa
This planet was one of many that were overrun by the Galactic Empire and forced to accept Imperial rule. Several years before the Battle of Yavin, Imperial forces began rounding up any beings who were considered to be rebels, sending them away to penal colonies in order to ensure the relative stability that they maintained through military force. (SWDT)

Circle Chambers
This was the name of the primary offices and courts that were part of the High Seat, located in the city of Tahv, on the planet Kesh. The Sith Circle of Lords maintained their offices within the Circle Chambers, and the main Council Chamber was located above the Circle Chambers. (FJ2)

Circle, The
This was the name used by modern descendants of the Sith Lords who crash-landed on the planet Kesh, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, to describe the plaza that was located at the center of the city of Tahv. Originally known as the Circle Eternal, this plaza became the focal point of the city. (FJ2)

Cleaver
This was the nickname used by the clone trooper Knuckles to describe the former navigation droid known as Teejay, which was nearly destroyed by battle droids on the planet Kynachi. Teejay, who had been reworked to serve as a waiter at Lalo Gunn's restaurant, was put back together to act as a combat droid, to help Knuckles and his fellow clone troopers defend Gunn's Diner and fight back against the Separatists who were controlling the main KynachTech Industries factory. The droid immediately showed skills with a shock-stick, which prompted Knuckles to give it a new nickname. Prior to the mission to infiltrate the factory, clone trooper Breaker took Cleaver aside and ordered the droid to protect the others, so that Breaker could split off from the rest and carry out his own mission, ostensibly to bring down the communications jamming equipment in the factory. Cleaver proved its worth almost immediately, destroying any battle droid that crossed their path, and helping the clones and Nuru Kungurama to infiltrate the factory and rescue the prisoners being held there. When Overseer Umbrag set off the factory's self-destruct system, the clones thought that Breaker wsa lost. Cleaver, however, was able to locate Breaker among the rubble and pull his body to safety. (SM1)

Cleft, Sixtus
This Delphanian served as the chief of the work gangs that were part of the Face Gang, which formed aboard the prison barge Purge about a year before the Battle of Yavin. When the leader of the Face Gang, Aur Myss, discovered that Sixtus was making deals with other groups of prisoners, he found himself in trouble. Myss wasted no time in having Sixtus' throat cut in a secluded area, and had the body placed back in its cell. ICO Wembly found Cleft's body in its cell, but without any obvious evidence of foul play, Wembly made no attempt to investigate further. (SWDT)

Close-Shave
This was the nickname used by one of the clone troopers who accompanied Jedi Master Ring-Sol Ambase to the planet Kynachi, during the height of the Clone Wars, to investigate the appearance of KynachTech Industries circuitry aboard the Separatist warship Malevolence. When their ship arrived at Kynachi, it was ambushed by Separatist forces, and the crew was forced to abandon their cruiser. Close-Shave was one of the clone troopers who got into an escape pod with Master Ambase, although the pod's location was lost in the chaos. Their pod crashed into the surface of Kynachi, and although the clones were largely unharmed, Master Ambase was knocked unconscious and had to be carrier to their rendezvous point. Unfortunately, Master Ambase and the clones were located by a Separatist patrol. The clones were taken to the prison facility deep within the KynachTech factory, and were later rescued by the members of the newly-named Breakout Squad. (SM1)

Cloud Forest
This was the term used to describe the ancient forests of the planet Ramoa. In ages past, during the early generations of the Ramoan civilization, the trees that covered much of the planet were perpetually shrouded in a fine mist, giving rise to the term "cloud forest" to describe its environments. (FJ3)

Codejob
This was a sarcastic nickname used by Han Solo to describe C-3PO, during the years that followed the Second Galactic Civil War. (FJ3)

Cody, Zahara
This woman served as the chief medical officer aboard the Imperial Prison Barge Purge, more than a year before the Battle of Yavin. The daughter of a family of wealthy financeers, Cody lived a pampered life that gave her every opportunity that credits could buy. She decided to train to become a doctor, and although her famly considered it an indulgence to send her to the Rhinnal State Medical Academy, Cody came to take a deeper interest in medicine. Part of her motivation stemmed from a romantic relationship she had with a older surgeon who showed her that the best medical care should not be reserved for the wealthy and powerful. Upon graduation, she tried to join one of the many relief groups that worked with poor and troubled worlds, but she lacked any real-world experience. In order to do anything that she could, and against the wishes of her family, Cody decided to take the job aboard the Purge. Although she was one of the few females aboard the ship, Doctor Cody found herself shunned by her peers because she was not an enlisted officer, but a civilian doctor who was forced to serve aboard the Imperial vessel. This suited her just fine, and she spent much of her free time training the 2-1B droid known as Waste to serve as a capable replacement, in case she was injured or unable to perform her duties.

After watching Von Longo die, probably at the hands of Jareth Sartoris, Cody decided that she had had enough, and was planning to finish her commitment to the Empire and return to her family on Corellia. Two weeks later, though, the ship experienced problems with its primary thrusters, and was stranded in the Unknown Regions. Several of the crew that returned from a derelict vessel to obtain parts experienced strange illnesses, and Cody watched as many of them died within hours. The contagion spread rapidly through the ship's population, and Cody and Waste were unable to keep up with the flow of patients in the infirmary. It was Waste who discovered that the strange affliction seemed to only attack a new host after it had infected the host and reproduced in sufficient numbers that the host was unable to counteract its presence. However, a few of the crew members appeared to be resistant to the infection, prompting Cody to order Waste to test her own blood for signs of infection. With Waste's help, she was able to analyze the blood of several victims and identify a potential anti-virus. With the knowledge that she was safe for the moment, Cody made her way to the bridge, where she performed a bioscan of the ship, which showed her that there were only six beings still alive.

In addition to Cody herself, the survivors included Han Solo and his Wookiee companion, Chewbacca, and Trig and Kale Longo. She demanded that she give the anti-virus to them both, but while Solo seemed unaffected, Chewbacca's Wookiee physiology reacted as if it had contracted the strange infection. Cody was forced to use a syringe to pierce the Wookiee's throat before it burst open, drawing out vial after vial of grayish-pink fluid until the Wookiee adjusted to the presence of the anti-virus. This episode gave Cody the knowledge that the contagion was replicating itself within its host, anticipating being spread to a new host. With this new knowledge, she and the others returned to the infirmary, where she discovered that Waste had been ripped to pieces. The droid tried to explain that the dead bodies in the infirmary had come back to life, and were feeding on any organic tissue they found. Cody could not comprehend what was happening until Kale Longo was injured by one of the re-animated corpses. Kale explained that the wound did not hurt, but he could feel the contagion reproducing and moving into his body. Despite the severity of his wound, Kale removed the bandages Cody had applied, and she saw that Kale was indeed right. The contagion rapidly spread from the wound, moving up Kale's leg with a strange determination. Forced into action, Cody cut open Kale's abdomen and began to extract any contaminated flesh, hoping to remove every bit of the contagion from his body.

Knowing that the Purge was stranded, Solo and Chewbacca decided the the group needed to get to the Star Destroyer and find another way to escape. Cody took Kale's body and tried to carry him to safety, but they were attacked by a group of re-animated beings who had found several blaster weapons. One fire caught Kale in the skull, killing him instantly. To preserve her own life, Cody had to leave Kale's body behind and run for her life. Once aboard the derelict Star Destroyer, Cody discovered an operating 2-1B droid within Bio-Lab 242. This droid, which bore a striking resemblance to Waste, explained to her what had been going on aboard the Star Destroyer, as part of the Blackwing operation. She realized that the corpses were connected to each other in a form of quorum sensing, but she also learned that the corpses could only function if they were close enough to a large concentration of the pure contagion. Thus, the corpses were quite active aboard the Star Destroyer and any ships in its vicinity, but any corpses that tried to spread beyond their location in space soon stooped functioning. The contagion began to deteriorate, and the re-animated corpses soon died a final death.

Cody was nearly killed when she was trapped in the Star Destroyer's hangar control room, but her distress call was answered by a young man named White. They made their way back to the shuttle, but an explosion caused a huge piece of machinery to fall into their path. White was able to push Cody out of the way, but was crushed by the machinery. As he died, White explained that a stranger had helped to save his life, and he was simply repaying the favor. Cody was eventually able to locate Solo, Chewbacca, and Trig Longo, and they made their escape from the Star Destroyer aboard the shuttle where White and his companions had hid. Trig and Cody remained together, and traveled to various worlds to deliver the final messages from crew members that Cody had found aboard the Purge. (SWDT)

Coffin Jockey
This was a term used by ground-based Imperial personnel to describe the early pilots of TIE Fighters. The term stemmed from the fact that most TIE Fighters lacked any sort of life-support system, so a pilot who was shot down or had his ship damaged often died before any rescue could be launched. The high mortality rates of these early pilots was staggering, earning future pilots the nickname of coffin jockeys. (SWDT)

Cold Thing
This was the term used by Jacen Solo to describe the intense, powerful disturbance he felt through the Force, during the years he traveled that galaxy, in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong War. Jacen experienced the touch of the "cold thing" while visiting with Aing-Tii monks, and after sensing that the "cold thing" was located near the Maw cluster of black holes, he set out to learn more about it. The sensation of the "cold thing" was later felt by Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, during their own time with the Aing-Tii, and the two followed in Jacen's path on their own mission of discovery. (FJ3)

Concordia
This small, habitable moon, also known as the Concordian moon, orbited the planet Mandalore. Despite its proximity to Mandalore, Concordia remained separate from Mandalore's planetary government. A forested world, Concordia was scarred by strip mines that were constructed across its surface. It was believed that, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, the most violent members of Mandalorian society were exiled to Concordia, in order for the more peaceful factions to establish a connection to other planets in the sector. Some members of mainstream Mandalorian society even believed that the exiles had died out over time. However, Pre Vizsla had been slowly rebuilding the Death Watch, and was funded by Count Dooku and the Separatists as part of a plan to overthrow Duchess Satine Kryze and take control of Mandalore. (CWTV34, CWTV35)

Crimson Fleece
This was the name of Hylo Visz's smuggling ship. She purchased the ship as a decaying hulk, and spent ten years refitting and repairing the ship to meet her needs. Because the ship was outdated when she purchased it, finding replacement parts was often difficult, if not impossible. Hylo simply improvised when an exact replacement was not available, and sometimes made the same repair more than once when an upgrade didn't quite work out. Over time, the ship became exceptionally spaceworthy, although outward appearances were not indicative of its true performance. This suited Hylo just fine, since she had no plans to sell the ship. (SV)

Cruiser-class Vessel
This was a desgination used by the military leaders of the Confederacy of Independent Systems to describe any large capital ship that was part of the Galactic Republic's naval forces. Despite the designation as Cruiser-class, this classification included the Acclamator-class troopship. (CWTV31)

Cryar, Cassie
This female Terellian was a noted jango jumper and small-time criminal in the underworld of Galactic City, on the planet Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. During the height of the Clone Wars, Cassie Cryar was apprehended by Ahsoka Tano at the apartment of Nack Movers, when Ahsoka and Jedi Master Tera Sinube were searching for Ahsoka's lightsaber. They believed that the weapon had been sold to Movers by Bannamu, but arrived at the apartment to find that movers had been killed. When Ahsoka began to search the apartment, she found Cryar hidden in the bedroom. Rather than be captured, Cryar leapt from her hiding place, wielding the lightsaber but unable to turn it on. Cryar then sucker-punched Ahsoka and fled out a window. After a short chase, Cryar was picked up by her partner, Ione Marcy, who had fled from Master Sinube. Unfortunately for the two criminals, Master Sinube had placed a tracking beacon on Marcy's clothing, and the two Jedi were able to locate them before Cryar could destroy the beacon. The criminals fled into a crowded speeder station, with Ahsoka pursuing Cryar onto a moving train. Cryar believed that she had finally escaped when the train came to its destination, but she was dismayed to find Master Sinube waiting for her when they arrived. She was quickly disarmed and captured, and was later taken into custody by the local police force. Ahsoka was able to recover her lightsaber, but was directed by Master Sinube to take a lightsaber class with a group of younglings as her punishment. (CWTV33)

CT-4012
This was the designation of one of the clone troopers who was assigned to the clean-up mission that followed the Galactic Republic's defeat of General Grievous and the destruction of the Malevolence, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Because trooper CT-4012 was often able to discern key details about his surroundings, Captain Lock gave him the nickname Sharp. (SM1)

CT-5177
This was the designation of one of the clone troopers who was assigned to the clean-up mission that followed the Galactic Republic's defeat of General Grievous and the destruction of the Malevolence, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Because trooper CT-5177 was known among his squad mates for his tactiurn nature, Captain Lock jokingly gave him the nickname Chatterbox. (SM1)

CT-8863
This was the designation of one of the clone troopers who was assigned to the clean-up mission that followed the Galactic Republic's defeat of General Grievous and the destruction of the Malevolence, during the early stages of the Clone Wars.

This was the alias used by Jaina Solo and Jagged Fel to describe Lina Zev, the woman who served as Jaina's double whenever the pair needed to spend some quality time alone, out of the view of the media that stalked their every move. Zev usually accompanied Karn Valanti, who served as Jag's double, and was known as Carved. (FJ2)

Dado
This young boy, a native of the settlement of Noua, on the planet Telerath, decided to sign up for one of the gladiator events that might earn him a place among the slaver gang that had taken over the settlement, during the era of the Clone Wars. Dado was waiting his turn to participate when he met Dass Jennir, but Demanna, the gang's enforcer, refused to fight him. Demanna told Dado to return to his life as a fisherman, but Dado had made up his mind. He drew his banged-up sword from its scabbard, prompting Demanna to draw his own blade in defense, but Jennir shot the weapon from Demanna's hands with a blaster. Demanna's men were similarly disarmed, but the last one managed to fire his blaster at Jennir, in clear violation of Telerath's Sword Law. Demanna killed the other Chagrian for his failure to abide by the rules, but then sliced off Dado's right arm as a lesson to remember his place in the society of Noua. (DT3)

Daiman
This Sith Lord was a chief rival to Lord Odion, during the decades that led up to the Battle of Ruusan. Lord Daiman was known for his solipsistic views of the galaxy, and took the self-glorification of his own image to a level that put him at odds with Lord Odion. (SWI116)

Dalsa
This flowering plant, native to the planet Kesh, produced a strong-scented blossom. The stem of each dalsa bloom was studded with thorns that protected the flower from small creatures. (FJ2)

Dangerous Animal Hall
This was one of the most popular areas of the Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition, where some of the most terrifying and vicious creatures found in the galaxy were put on display. These creatures were kept in heavy-duty confinement areas that were constantly monitored, so that their environments were properly maintained, and ensuring that the cages were secured at all times. (FJ2)

Dark Me Out
This was a phrase used by the youth of the galaxy, during the years following the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, to describe the sensation of being frightened or scared whenever entering an unknown area. It was similar in usage to the phrase "shiver me out." (FJ3)

Darksaber
This was an ancient form of lightsaber that was first developed by an unknown race of beings. Like a lightsaber, the darksaber used a controlled shaft of energy to create the blade. However, where a lightsaber blade glowed white at its core and was colored at the outer edges of the blade, the darksaber had a jet black core that crackled with white-hot energy along its blade. Very few of these weapons survived beyond the era of the New Sith Wars, although it was believed that the ancient Mandalorians managed to steal one from the Jedi Temple at some point during the height of the Old Republic. (SWI116, CWTV34)

Deactivator
This was a form of remote or droid caller that used a localized electromagnetic pulse to disable any droid in the immediate vicinity. The radius in which a deactivator was useful was quite small, so that it did not disrupt other machinery or electronic systems. (CWTV35)

Deechi, Mee
Representing his homeworld of Umbara on the Galactic Senate, Senator Deechi was part of a small faction of Senators who represented planets that were benefitting from the Clone Wars. Thus, when fellow Senators Padme' Amidala and Lolo Purs began speaking out against the production of more clone troopers, Senator Deechi quietly warned them that they were being unpatriotic. This encountered was followed by the sudden death of Senator Onaconda Farr, who had apparently been murdered. Senator Amidala questioned Senator Deechi about Farr's death, since the pair had often been at odds on the Senate floor. Deechi claimed to have had no role in Farr's death, although he did admit to having the Rodian Senator followed on several occasions. He explained that his spies had reported on a secret meeting between Farr and an unknown party in a nearby construction zone, but refused to provide any more information. Unfortunately, Senator Deechi was later found dead in his offices, stabbed through the heart with a dagger, further complicating the investigation by Lieutenant Tan Divo of the Senate Guard. (CWTV37)

Dehydro
This was a starship system that could dehyrdate foods, removing water in order to preserve them and make them easier to transport. (FJ3)

Delphanian
This alien race was distinguished by its hulking form. The hands of the average Delphanian were shaped like shovels, with a wide claw that formed a single digit. (SWDT)

Demanna
This hulking Chagrian was the primary enforcer of the main slaver gang that rose to power on the planet Telerath, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He often took part in the gladiator events that were staged by the slavers as auditions for jobs within the gang, giving out jobs to any being that could best him in one-on-one combat. One of those who tried to gain employment with the gang was a youth named Dado, but Demanna refused to fight someone so young. Dado drew his damaged sword anyway, forcing Demanna to draw his own weapon in defense. The fight never took place, however, because Dass Jennir stepped in and fired his blaster at Demanna, knocking the sword from his hands. Jennir then disarmed Demanna's Chargian thugs, prompting one of them to draw a blaster and fire on the human. Demanna stepped in and demanded that the blaster be holstered, as per Sword Law. Demanna explained that Jennir was exempt from Sword Law because he was newly-arrived on Telerath, but he stabbed the Chagrian who fired on Jennir in the chest, as a lesson to any being who would disregard the law in the future. (DT3)

Demolisher
This warship was part of the naval forces that supported the Grand Army of the Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Demolisher was dispatched to recover the wreckage from the Separatist vessel Malevolence, after it was destroyed near the Kaliida Nebula. (SM1)

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

Depths of Eternity
This was the term used by the Mind Walkers to describe the deepest parts of the Lake of Apparitions. Any being who stumbled and fell into the Depths of Eternity would sink forever into the darkest parts of the Force, without any hope of rescue. (FJ3)

Destructors, The
According to Keshiri legends, the Destructors were celestial beings who periodically descended from the heavens to wipe out the civilization of an inhabited world, in order to reduce all beings to a primitive state. These same legends told of The Protectors, a group of beings who would defend the Keshiri from the predations of the Destructors, ensuring that their civilization would continue. Investigations by the descendants of the human Sith that crash-landed on Kesh some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin revealed that Kesh had experienced widespread destruction at least once in its history, lending some credibility to the myths. The human Sith chose not to dissuade the Keshiri in their belief that the Sith were the Protectors, since it helped them obtain control over the Keshiri. Over time, the Sith realized that it had been their destiny to protect the Keshiri, which, in turn, contributed to their ability to restore the Sith to power as part of their Return to the galaxy. (FJ2, FJ3)

Detention Moon Gradient Seven
This world was site of one of the many penal colonies that were maintained by the Galactic Empire, during the height of the New Order. (SWDT)

Dez, Jan
This Rutian Twi'lek worked for Lauli Wahlo at a noodle shop in the G17 district of Coruscant's Galactic City, during the final years of the Old Republic. Wahlo and Dez were also known to the denizens of the G17 district as fences for stolen merchandise. The pair provided information on the location of Bannamu to Ahsoka Tano and Tera Sinube, during the height of the Clone Wars. (CWTv33)

Dilanni
This yellow-skinned Felucian lived and worked in a small settlement that grew nysillin, during the final years of the Clone Wars. Dilanni was one of the few Felucians feared that the settlement was doomed, when a group of Weequay pirates began to extort protection money from the village leader, Casiss. Dilanni believed that the Felucians would never learn how to defend themselves, and resisted any attempt to learn more about protecting his people. Dilanni's pessimism continued even after Casiss hired a group of bounty hunters to help protect them, and grew deeper when Anakin Skywalker arrived on the planet and agreed to teach the Felucians how to fight for themselves. (CWTV39)

Dirtscratcher
This was a slang term, used during the years following the Swarm War, to describe any private security or surveillance officer. (FJ3)

Disintegrator
This was generic term used to describe a form of automated cleaning device that used focused energy to disintegrate materials that were stuck onto a surface that was to be cleaned. The use of disintegrators allowed cleaning droids to swiftly carry out their duties, without spending time scrubbing stubborn stains and stuck-on messes. (FJ3)

Div
This was the alias adopted by Lune Divinian, during the height of the New Order. With the rise of the Empire, Lune and his family were forced to go into hiding, since they had been implicated in the events surrounding Ferus Olin. They believed that they were safe, but Imperial forces located their safe house and razed it to the ground. Astri, along with Clive Flax and Trever Flume, were killed in the attack, and Lune only just managed to escape. However, the part of him that was Lune had died with his mother, forcing him to abandon his training in the ways of the Force and take up the mantel of a pilot and mercenary. He took on the alias of Div, and did his best to embrace his new life. His connection to the Force gave him an edge in his new endeavors, allowing him to be one step ahead of the beings he encountered.

Div traveled the galaxy in a specially-modified Firespray-class patrol vessel, which became more than just a ship over the years. His skills as a pilot earned him the notice of the Imperial agent known as X-7, who invited Lune and several other pilots to a meeting near Iope. There, X-7 engaged the pilots in a series of dogfights, scaring away or eliminating all but Div and three other pilots. Because of his skills, Div was placed in charge of the others, including Clea Sook, Fallon Pollo, and Grish B'reen. Their initial attempt to apprehend Skywalker came when the rebel was discovered near the planet Kamino. Div and the others ambushed Skywalker's small group of X-Wings, driving two off and forcing the others to the watery surface of the planet. Unfortunately, Div's Firespray took heavy damage from returning fire, and he was forced to splash down into the water. Without any form of flotation device, the Firespray sank beneath the waves, although Div was able to reach safety at Research City.

Once safe, Div managed to locate Clea Sook and Grish B'reen, and the group set out to search for other survivors. They ran into Skywalker and Han Solo, and Div had to force B'reen to calm himself before the Chistori killed both of the rebels. He reminded B'reen that they were mercenaries, not assassins, and that they should all work together to get off Kamino, so that they could settle their differences as pilots in space. It was during this exchange that Clea Sook managed to sneak up behind Div and place a blaster to his head, but she never got a chance to carry through with her threat to kill him. The creature that Imperial scientists had been developing at Research City attacked them, killing B'reen and Sook before turning its attention to Div and Luke. Both men were swallowed whole by the creature, although they were not immediately killed. Instead, they were stored in a special pouch inside the creature's body, and then transported to an underwater grotto. There, the creature disgorged them, and Luke and Div were forced to work together to form an escape plan. The creature returned before they could devise a plan, prompting Luke to draw his lightsaber. The creature knocked the weapon from Luke's hands, and Div quickly picked it up and used it to kill the beast. When Luke questioned his skills with the lightsaber, Div tried to shrug it off as nothing more than another bladed weapon.

The two men were able to discover that the creature's internal pouch was intact, and used it as a type of protective bubble to help them escape from the creature's underwater lair. With the help of Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Leia Organa, they were able to fly away from Kamino and return to Yavin 4. On the small moon, Div was held captive, because of his role in the attacks at Kamino. He refused to reveal who his employer was, despite several pleas from Luke to help the Alliance discover the employer's identity. (RF4)

Divo, Tan
This man served as a member of the Senate Guard, during the height of the Clone Wars. It was Lieutenant Divo and his team who investigated the death of Senator Onaconda Farr, when an autopsy revealed the presence of an unusual chemical in the Senator's bloodstream. Divo, who had little regard for politicians, wanted to keep the investigation within the Senate Guard, believing that it would go smoother without intervention from the Senators who were close to Farr. His frustration only increased when he learned that Padme' Amidala and Bail Organa were doing their own investigation, which nearly resulted in their own deaths when they were attacked by an unknown assailant. Lieutenant Divo was later forced to confine the Senators to their offices for the rest of the investigation, when Senator Mee Deechi was found murdered in his offices, shortly after a meeting with Senator Amidala. Lieutenant Divo then realized that the only other Senator who was present during the hours surrounding Farr's death was Halle Burtoni, so he set out to question the aging Kaminoan. Senator Burtoni was not in her offices, an absense that Senator Lolo Purs claimed was due to that fact that Burtoni attacked her. Burtoni was eventually captured and brought in for questioning, but she maintained her innocence in both matters. When an analysis of the chemical in Farr's blood revealed that it was of Kaminoan origin, and that it was targeted to affect only Rodians, Lieutenant Divo ordered Burtoni's arrest. Senator Amidala, however, remembered that Senator Purs had been present when Senator Farr had been killed, and immediately questioned how the female Rodian could have survived. When Divo and his men tried to capture Senator Purs, the Rodian tried to take Amidala as a hostage, but Padme' managed to punch her in the jaw, knocking Senator Purs unconscious. (CWTV37)

Domaine de la Maison sur le Lac
This variety of alcoholic beverage was produced on the planet Naboo, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (CWTV37)

Dordi
This Barabel was one of three youngsters who were trained by Saba Sebatyne to serve as pilots in the Wild Knights squadron of Force-sensitive pilots, during the era of the Yuuzhan Vong War. Years later, Dordi and his friends, Zal and Wilyem, were planning to start their own nest with Tesar Sebatyne, in an attempt to rebuild the Barabel population. The three Barabels agreed to serve as gunners aboard the Millennium Falcon when Han and Leia Solo transported several ailing Jedi to Shedu Maad, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. (FJ3)

Dorvan, Wynn
This man served as a personal assistant to Natasi Daala, during her tenure as Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance. Wynn Dorvan's service to the government began during the early years of the New Republic, when he served as underdeputy of the Republic's tenolodium reserves. He gained notoriety when he exposed his own supervisor in a skimming operation, going directly to Chief of State Leia Organa rather than taking a bribe to keep quiet. Dorvan then earned a reputation as a reliable and dedicated member of the government, and this allowed him to rise through the ranks. Although he was a slightly-built man, Dorvan was known as much for his impeccable dress and appearance as for his competence on the job. He lacked any family of his own, and kept his office free of any personal items. The only affectation he managed to hold onto was the pet chitlik he called Pocket, which Daala chose to ignore because of Dorvan's dedication to her office. Daala found Dorvan to be an invaluable resource, since he was able to anticipate her needs and prepare her for almost any situation. Dorvan also worked behind the scenes to help moderate the public effects of Daala's own personal beliefs, including her penchant for hiring females such as Desha Lor for positions within the government. It was Dorvan who first learned of the actions of Jysella Horn, when she lashed out at her fellow Jedi, after he was reviewing HoloNet new reports.

Following the actions of Natua Wan, Dorvan worked out a way for Daala to turn the so-called "Insane Jedi Rampage" to the advantage of the Galactic Alliance. Part of this plan involved leaking the possibility that Daala might hire a group of Mandalorians to deal with the Jedi, during a meeting with Imperial Chief of State Jagged Fel. Following this, Dorvan initiated an encrypted communication with Han and Leia Solo which Dorvan kept secret from Daala, during which he explained to the Solos that Daala was getting ready to hire a company of Mandalorians to defend the galaxy from the Jedi Order. This revelation startled the Solos, especially when Dorvan revealed that Jagged Fel was aware of the Mandalorians, because Dorvan had counted on Fel telling his fiance, who happened to be Jaina Solo. Leia Solo assumed that he was bluffing about the Mandalorian issue, and tried to call him on it. Dorvan explained that he was not bluffing, but he was actually worried that Chief of State Daala was acting on a set of flawed beliefs and expectations about the Jedi and the Sith, and their roles in the galaxy. He implored the Solos to ensure that the Jedi Order was aware of Daala's plans, regardless of what happened with Jagged and Jaina, in order to help prevent Daala from doing anything really damaging. (FJ2, FJ3)

Dorvan, Wynn
It was believed that there were some 170,000 individuals who were living on the planet Coruscant with the name Wynn Dorvan, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. (FJ3)

Draboon
This planet was noted as the homeworld of venom-mites. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Satine Kryze once had an adventure on this planet, which included a run-in with a swarm of venom-mites. (CWTV35)

Drendek
This was the species of huge, winged reptiles that lived on a jungle-covered planetoid in the Maw cluster of black holes. The Sith crew of the Eternal Crusader discovered the planetoid while searching for the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship, and found that the drendek lizards were quite docile, despite their fearsome appearances. Drendeks were often found lying on the planetoid's beaches, sunning themselves to warm up their body temperatures. (FJ3)

Dualli, Slis Tieeer
This Kobok mercenary was one of the pilots who answered a mysterious call to action near the moon Iope, several months after the Battle of Yavin. Unknown to Dualli and the others who arrived at the remote moon, they were being tested by the Imperial spy known as X-7, who was trying to capture Luke Skywalker. Dualli considered himself the best Kobok pilot in the Outer Rim, if not the best pilot, but he often went without work because many of his employers ended just as dead as the bounties he tracked down. This was because, in more than twenty years of doing mercenary work, he came to hate most of his employers, and eliminated them for being the same kind of scum they hired him to kill. Dualli, in his custom Cloakshape fighter, was one of the first to arrive, and quickly found himself under fire from his supposed employer. The Cloakshape had been outfitted with a maneuvering wing and a turbocharged ion engine, which gave the ship agility and speed that were uncommon in other such ships. However, he lacked the skill of the man who had called him to Iope, and Dualli was killed when X-7 shot down the Cloakshape fighter and destroyed it. (RF4)

Dulac
This Artorian man was a friend of king Caled Galfridian, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When the alien invaders first struck at Artorias, Dulac was able to rally a group of survivors and fled to the nearest spaceport, only to find that every ship had been sabotaged. This information pointed to the fact that there was a spy in their midst, although Dulac could find no evidence of the Yuuzhan Vong among the ships. When he explained this to Caled, they both realized that the aliens had had help from an Artorian conspirator. Caled ordered the assembled survivors to do what they could to get any ships spaceworthy, and anyone who was not a technician was ordered to guard the spaceport. Dulac accompanied Caled to the city center, where they hoped to destroy as many Yuuzhan Vong as possible, while giving the other survivors a chance to evacuate. Dulac was struck in the chest by a warrior's amphistaff while defending Caled from attackers who came from behind them, giving his life to save his king. (INV1)

Durasteel For A Spine
This was a tongue-in-cheek nickname used by Han Solo to describe Jagged Fel. Han only used the nickname in the presence of his wife, Leia, and his daughter, Jaina, who was dating Fel at the time. (FJ2)

Dyre
This was the nickname used by one of the clone troopers who accompanied Jedi Master Ring-Sol Ambase to the planet Kynachi, during the height of the Clone Wars, to investigate the appearance of KynachTech Industries circuitry aboard the Separatist warship Malevolence. When their ship arrived at Kynachi, it was ambushed by Separatist forces, and the crew was forced to abandon their cruiser. Dyre was one of the clone troopers who got into an escape pod with Master Ambase, although the pod's location was lost in the chaos. Their pod crashed into the surface of Kynachi, and although the clones were largely unharmed, Master Ambase was knocked unconscious and had to be carrier to their rendezvous point. Unfortunately, a group of Separatist battle droids located their group, and Dyre was killed in the ensuing firefight. (SM1)

Eel Vine
This unusual species of plant was discovered on a remote, jungle-covered planetoid near the Maw cluster of black holes by Lady Olaris Rhea and her Sith crew, during their search for the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship. Eel vines were one of the many predatory species of plants found on the planetoid, which was the home of the Force presence known as Abeloth. When Abeloth was present, however, the eel vines and other dangerous plants were quelled into a state of non-activity, and would not attack anything that came near them. (FJ3)

Electro-eel
This snake-like fish was native to the oceans of the planet Kamino. These fish were named for the electric discharge they generated within their bodies, and used to stun their prey. Electro-eels moved through the ocean in large schools, and the discharges of electrical energy that emanated from their bodies lit up the surrounding water with a ghostly glow. (RF4)

Electro-proton Bomb
This weapon by developed by the Galactic Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The elctro-proton bomb was designed in response to the hysteria that arose from propaganda that claimed the droid armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems contained far more soldiers than the Republic could oppose with the limited number of clone troopers in the Grand Army of the Republic. While electro-magnetic pulse weapons were effective against the battle droids, they were only useful in small-scale engagements. The Republic needed something more devastating for those battles in which it faced a huge army of droids of all shapes and sizes, which prompted the development of the electro-proton bomb. Doctor Sionver Boll and her team developed the weapon to be exploded in the center of a droid army, so that the blast would radiate outward and affect every piece of machinery in the area, yet leave any organic life unharmed. The first large-scale use of the electro-proton bomb came during the Battle of Malastare, and proved more or less successful. The initial blast of the bomb made it appear as if it were a conventional, explosive weapon, with a fiery cloud of flame and smoke forming at its heart. However, this was only the beginning, as the heat generated from the blast set off the bomb's secondary explosives, which ejected a huge sphere of electro-proton energy that reduced the battle droids' internal systems to slag. Unfortunately for the Republic, the damage from the weapon was not confined to the droids on the surface of the ground. The shock of the two explosions set off a massive seismic wave that radiated into the planet's crust, creating a huge sinkhole that consumed both battle droids and living soldiers. On Malastare, this seismic devastation also unleashed a zillo beast that had lain dormant beneath the ground for generations. (CWTV40)

Embo
This male Kyuzo was part of the group of bounty hunters who worked with Sugi to help defend a Felucian farm settlement from pirates, during the height of the Clone Wars. When the pirates made their attempt to destroy the bounty hunters, Embo was injured when a blast from a repulsortank hit him in the chest. The armor protected him, and Embo emerged from the battle with just a broken arm. (CWTV39)

Embrace, The
This was the Basic translation of the name used by the Aing-Tii monks to describe the chamber in which they kept their collection of artifacts that were known as the Relics. These artifacts, collected by members of other races under the direction of the Aing-Tii over thousands of years, were stored lovingly and reverently, since the Aing-Tii believed that the Relics were items that were connected to Those Who Dwell Beyond the Veil. Thus, the creche in which they were kept embraced them and kept them safe from any trouble. The location of the Embrace was far from most Aing-Tii settlements, and any being who was allowed to enter the Embrace had to make the journey on foot, because the presence of vehicles or starships near the Embrace was considered a great offense. The entrance to the Embrace was little more than a hole in a sheer cliff wall, at the base of a range of mountains. Once inside, visitors discovered a strange luminescence that radiated from the surrounding stone, and Force-sensitive beings also felt the enhanced presence of the Force within the Embrace. The light that came from the stone covered all the colors of the visible spectrum, and seemed to support and emphasize the Aing-Tii belief that the Force was like a rainbow. (FJ2)

Empire, The
This was the title given to the former Imperial Remnant by Chief of State Jagged Fel, in the wake of the Second Galactic Civil War. Chief of State Fel inherited his position after Gilad Pellaeon was killed during the fighting, after Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker forced the Moff Council to work with the Galactic Alliance to restore the galaxy. Under Pellaeon, the Imperial Remnant had grown beyond the handful of systems that had survived the first Galactic Civil War, and Fell continued to expand the boundaries of the Remnant. This gave him the political clout to shed the "Imperial Remnant" name and once again take up the name of "Empire". (FJ2)

Encephaloscanner
see Encephaloscan (FJ3)

Endurance
This Venator-class Sta Destroyer was one of a handful of vessels that were set aside by the military leaders of the Grand Army of the Republic as a training facility for young clone troopers, during the early years of the Clone Wars. Shortly after the Battle of Malastare, the Endurance was stopped in orbit around Vanqor when an assassination attempt was made on the life of Jedi Master Mace Windu, who was also onboard the ship. While in orbit, the Endurance was rocked by an explosion within its reactor core, and the ship began to tear itself apart. Admiral Kilian and Clone Commander Ponds remained aboard the dying ship, hoping to keep it flying until all the rest of the crew and the cadets could escape. The ship began to plummet ot the surface of Vanqor, and all contact with Kilian and Ponds was quickly lost. (CWTV42)

Eopies Extraordinaire
This small corporation was based on the planet Tatooine, and bred eopies for use as mounts and as pets. Owned by Tevar Shan and his partners, Eopies Extraordinaire was noted for its breeding of a dwarf eopie that could be kept as a pet. (FJ2)

Ertay, Finn
This female Twi'lek was among the many Jedi Knights who were forced into military duty, during the height of the Clone Wars. (CWTV31)

Escort-class Vessel
This was a desgination used by the military leaders of the Confederacy of Independent Systems to describe any smaller capital ship that was part of the Galactic Republic's naval forces. The classification included the Republic Light Cruiser. (CWTV31)

Eternal Crusader
This was the name given to one of the first warships that were captured by the Sith who lived on the planet Kesh, during the years that followed the Second Galactic Civil War. The Sith, descended from ancient Sith who had been stranded on the planet following the crash of the Omen, were able to capture the cruiser with help from the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship, and served as the primary attack vessel in subsequent raids to capture more starships. The Eternal Crusader was placed under the command of Lady Olaris Rhea, and the vessel served as the flagship of the mission to locate Ship when it fled Kesh for the Maw. The crew discovered Ship on a strange, jungle-covered planetoid, where it led a search party on a series of chases. Each of these chases resulted in the deaths of several Sith, when they stumbled upon one of the planetoid's many species of carnivorous plants. Lady Rhea was forced to bring more and more crew down from the ship, and several shuttles were also lost or damaged while searching for Ship. In the end, only fifteen crew members remained alive, with just one pilot remaining aboard the Eternal Crusader to monitor its systems and keep it ready for Lady Rhea's return. (FJ2, FJ3)

Face Gang
This group of Delphanian thugs was formed aboard the Imperial prison barge Purge, about a year before the Battle of Yavin. The group was originally formed as a work crew, but the gang's leader, Aur Myss, made no effort to hide the fact that the Face Gang was also the strongest of the criminal gangs the roamed the ship's Gen Pop levels. (SWDT)

Fangball
This unusual species of plant was discovered on a remote, jungle-covered planetoid near the Maw cluster of black holes by Lady Olaris Rhea and her Sith crew, during their search for the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship. Fangballs were essentially masses of thorny vines that could roll along the ground in search of water and food. Fangballs were one of the many predatory species of plants found on the planetoid, which was the home of the Force presence known as Abeloth. When Abeloth was present, however, the fangballs and other dangerous plants were quelled into a state of non-activity, and would not attack anything that came near them. (FJ3)

Fangflower
This was a species of flowering, predatory plant that was native to the planet Kesh. Fangflowers were known for their insatiable appetite, and the fact that each plant seemed to be ready to kill anything that came near it. (FJ3)

Far Seekers
This was one of the many groups of Force-sensitive individuals that existed in the galaxy. (FJ3)

Faro
This planet was the homeworld of a race of humans. (SWDT)

Fast Death
This was one of the many Nargi-class pursuit frigates that were part of the Galactic City Air Traffic Control fleet, during the years that followed the Swarm War. Some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, the Fast Death was one of the ships that were dispatched to intercept the freighter Longshot when it tried to cause trouble above Coruscant. The Fast Death's crew were unaware that the Longshot was actually the Millennium Falcon, and that Han Solo was causing trouble so that he would draw attention away from this wife, Leia Solo, who was piloting the Gizer Gut. (FJ3)

Fate
The descendants of the Sith who evolved on the planet Kesh believed that Fate was an entity that defied control, and moved the universe to its own whims and desires. (FJ2)

Felucian
Although this name was more often used to describe the tall, fur-covered humanoids that inhabited the planet Felucia, it was also the name used to describe the short-statured beings who were also native to the planet. The shorter Felucians had thick legs and short torsos, with arms that hung down almost to the ground. The ovate head of a Felucian sat atop a long neck, and their bodies were covered with tough, yellowish skin. The eyes of these short Felucians were small and beady, and were protected by thick brows. A ridge of bone or scales ran along each side of the back of the skull. (CWTV39)

Fern-tree
This unusual species of tree was discovered on a remote, jungle-covered planetoid near the Maw cluster of black holes by Lady Olaris Rhea and her Sith crew, during their search for the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship. Fern-trees were one of the small number of plants encountered by the Sith that were not predatory or carnivorous. (FJ3)

This Givin was one of the many Mind Walkers encountered by Luke and Ben Skywalker, at Sinkhole Station near the Maw cluster of black holes, some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. A former Jedi, Feryl agreed to work with Seek Ryontarr to assist Luke when he attempted to go mind walking, as part of Luke's effort to understand what had happened to cause Jacen Solo to become the Sith Lord known as Darth Caedus. Feryl agreed to accompany Ryontarr when he took Luke mind walking, and the two beings escorted Luke through the two challenges they encountered at the Font of Power and the Pool of Knowledge. They spent weeks of real time mind walking, during which time their physical bodies continued to weaken. Ben Skywalker tried to tend them as best he could, but Feryl's body, like that of Ryontarr, eventually died while they were gone. However, their Force presences remained, still walking in the Force with Luke, who still had questions to ask them. (FJ3)

Fish mistook Jennir to be one of the many combatants who were traveling to Telerath to compete for a position within one of the slaver gangs that was rising to power on the planet. When they reached Noua's central square, Jennir toosed Fish a bag of credits that far exceeded the total fare. Fish claimed that it was too much, but Jennir merely stated that he should consider himself on retainer.

Font of Power
According to the Mind Walkers, the Font of Power was a place where a truly enlightened individual could drink from the power of the Force and give themselves the ability to achieve anything they desired. However, the Font of Power was located in an ancient courtyard that was surrounded by fern-trees and pillar fungi, making it difficult to reach. Once at the fountain itself, an individual had to pass through a cloud of sulfur-like steam that threatened to overwhelm them. Any being who passed through the cloud could drink from the Font of Power until they were satiated. Although the Mind Walkers came to the Font of Power when they left their physical bodies behind and simply immersed their minds in the Force, the Font of Power was a physical thing that was manifested by the Force presence of an exceptionally powerful individual. Luke Skywalker discovered that the Font of Power was apparently a nexus of Dark Side power, although Seek Ryontarr explained to him that he could save the Jedi Order by drinking from it. Skywalker refused, although he feared that Jacen Solo might have drunk from the Font of Power, after deciding that is was his own personal mission to save the galaxy. However, Ryontarr revealed that Jacen had not been tempted by the Font of Power either, and that only those who refused to drink had chosen the right path. The Font of Power was part of the physical presence that was created by the Force presence known as Abeloth, and was surrounded by grottoes and gullies that required any individual who approached them to endure strange passages of time and space. If a being could resist the lure of ultimate power at the Font, they were allowed to pass through more grottoes to reach the Pool of Knowledge. (FJ3)

Force Nova
This was the term used by Ben Skywalker to describe the wave of change within the Force that occurred when Centerpoint Station was destroyed, during the Second Galactic Civil War. The destruction of the station caused a fundamental change in the Maw cluster of black holes, and this change could only be felt by Force-sensitive individuals. The epicenter of the change was the Maw itself, and the change rippled outward throughout the galaxy and affected every being who had lived in or near the Maw. This "Force nova" caused Jedi Knights like Valin and Jysella Horn to experience Force-related psychoses in which they came to believe every other being around them was an imposter, and caused them to go into paranoid episodes of violence as they tried to understand what they believed had happened around them. (FJ3)

Force Presence
This was the term used by the Mind Walkers to describe the essence of an individual's being that existed purely within the Force. A being's Force presence was described as an eddy or swirl within the Force, which mingled with other Force presences to create the universe. The Force presence was what animated a being's physical body, giving it form, but it was the Force presence that was the only real thing. The Mind Walkers believed that the body and the other aspects of the physical world were nothing more than illusions, and spent their lives attempting to shed their physical possessions in order to commune with the Force. (FJ3)

They knew that their survival depending on getting the shuttle working again, and they used the name Freebird whenever they described the shuttle. Unfortunately, Gorrister and several other survivors were killed by Jareth Sartoris when they tried to attack the Captain and cannibalize his body. The rest were killed as they tried to work with other survivors - including Zahara Cody, Trig Longo, Han Solo, and Chewbacca - to escape from the Star Destroyer.

Outwardly, this corporation provided the Galactic Alliance with safe, secure storage facilities on the planet Coruscant, during the years that followed the Swarm War. However, in the wake of the Second Galactic Civil War, the corporation became a front for several secret prison facilities that were used to hold any being who was charged with crimes against the Galactic Alliance. This was part of Chief of State Natasi Daala's plan to create a psychological deterrent to any being or organization that attempted to defy her rule of the galaxy. The buildings owned by the Galactic Alliance Storage corporation were distinguished by a plaque that displayed the corporation's motto: "Service, Security, Secrecy". (FJ3)

Galfridian, Caled
A veteran of the Battle of Hoth, this man was the ancestral king of the planet Artorias, during the height of the New Republic. During the defense of Echo Base, Caled served alongside Luke Skywalker and the pilots of Rogue Group. This military history was not lost on Caled's son, Finn, who was something of a rebel and a risk-taker. Caled struggled to keep his son out of trouble, and did his best to raise him to eventually become king. His efforts were put to the test some twenty-two years after Hoth, when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded Artorias. Caled and Finn were at the family estate when the first attacks occurred, and they set out to do what they could to mount a defense and evacuate the planet. At the local spaceport, Caled discovered that all the spaceworthy starships had been sabotaged, so he ordered Finn, Dulac and Sparky to fix what they could while he defended the spaceport. Caled was therefore glad when Luke Skywalker suddenly showed up at the spaceport, with news that the New Republic had parked several escape ships in the nearby forests. Caled refused to join the group that traveled to the ships, instead choosing to remain on Artorias to search for his wife and daughter.

He often argued with his father over his actions, although Finn rarely won an argument with his father. They were discussing Finn's risky activities when the first attacks of the Yuuzhan Vong hit the capital of Artorias, and Caled ordered Finn to take weapons with him and go find his mother and sister in the market. The two men were unable to reach the market, which had been the site of the initial attack, and so they retreated to the nearby starport to arrange for evacuations. They found that every spaceworthy ship had been sabotaged, thereby preventing any escape. However, the survivors in the spaceport were heartened when Luke Skywalker appeared with news that the New Republic had landed several ships in the nearby forest. Caled ordered Finn to join the evacuees, ensuring that Galfridian line continued, despite the alien invasion. When Finn asked Skywalker if he could leave to join his father, Skywalker discovered that Finn was a great deal of sensitivity to the Force. Finn also claimed that he was not the leader his father was, but Skywalker asked him to fake it for the time being, so that he other survivors would rally around him and escape from the planet. Luke then offered Finn the chance to accompany him to Yavin 4, where he could be trained as a Jedi Knight. (INV1)

Galfridian, Kaye
This young woman was the daughter of Caled and Nina Galfridian. Like most other Artorians, Kaye was unaware that the Yuuzhan Vong had targeted Artorias for invasion, some twenty-five years after the Battle of Yavin. Kaye and Nina were in the city market when the first attacks occurred, and Nina did what she could to get those around her to safety while Kaye set out to locate her father. She was stopped by a Yuuzhan Vong warrior who very nearly killed her with his amphistaff, but Kaye put up a valiant fight to stay alive. Although she managed to kill the warrior, Kaye was taken prisoner by several of his comrades. She was taken to a remote location in the forest, where the Yuuzhan Vong were keeping their prisoners, and she was reunited with her mother. (INV1)

Galfridian, Nina
This woman was married to king Caled Galfridian of Artorias, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Nina was walking through the market with her daughter, Kaye, when the first attacks were made against Artorias. Kaye did what she could to hold off a Yuuzhan Vong warrior, but the alien invaders were too strong. Nina and Kaye, along with an artisan named Jenny, were among the many prisoners who were captured by the aliens and taken to a remote holding location in the nearby forest. (INV1)

Garia
This planet, located in the Brak Sector of the galaxy, was located near the Corellian Run.

Like others who were exposed to the strange contagion, Gat was quickly infected and died within hours after suffered from a massive seizure and respiratory arrest. Gat's body was placed in the ship's small morgue, where it was later infected by the strange contagion that was inadvertently carried back from the Star Destroyer. The dead body was re-animated by the contagion, and nearly killed Doctor Cody when she returned to the infirmary.

Gerlun, like his brother, Demtri, was born within the Keep, and he had been exposed to the Dark Side energy that permeated its walls since before his birth. These beings believed themselves to be Sith, they lacked any real training or mastery of the Force, although they did wield red-bladed lightsabers. Gerlun and Demtri were among the first group of feral beings to try and stop Darth Wyyrlok from entering the Keep, when the Sith Lord arrived at Prakith in order to locate the tomb of Darth Andeddu. Gerlun and the others were thwarted when Darth Wyyrlok used the Force to project multiple images of himself, each of which seemed to be ready to attack. One by one, Wyyrlok killed the feral humanoids, including Demtri, until only Gerlun was left. Wyyrlok then commanded him to lead the way to Andeddu's crypt, and Gerlun was powerless to disobey. However, rather than blindly obey the interloper, Gerlun did his best to play dumb, and pretended to have no idea how to pass beyond the final portal at the lowest level of the tomb. Wyyrlok was carrying Andeddu's Holocron, however, and forced the gatekeeper to utter the proper words to open the portal. Once inside the tomb itself, Wyyrlok gave Gerlun menial chores and verbally abused him, claiming that Gerlun would be unable to read his own name, let alone Sith scrolls. When Wyyrlok was distracted, Gerlun grabbed Andeddu's Holocron and placed it on the Sith Lord's corpse, completing the spell that Andeddu had laid on his dead body millennia earlier. Rather than re-animating the corpse, however, Andeddu's essence possessed Gerlun's body, destroying his own essence and taking over the body that was left behind. Wyyrlok later defeated Andeddu, destroying Gerlun's body and Andeddu's Holocron in wave after wave of Dark Side energy. (SWLIC)

When the contagion was the project's main focus escaped into the ship's atmosphere, Commander Gorrister was among the handful of crew members who proved to be immune to its effects. However, the survivors found themselves facing the re-animated corpses of their dead comrades, and were forced to hide in the relative safety of a Sentinel-class shuttle in the Star Destroyer's hangar bay. Gorrister and the other survivors were horrified when the re-animated corpses began working together to activate one of the Star Destroyer's tractor beams, using it to draw in passing starships, in an attempt to acquire new hosts and a possible way to get off the stranded Star Destroyer. The survivors lived for ten weeks by making short forays out from the shuttle to gather food, water, and weapons. When the food ran out an dit became too dangerous to move far beyond the safety of the shuttle, Gorrister and the survivors began to draw lots to determine which of them would be cannibalized in order to preserve the lives of the others.

They were eventually discovered by Captain Jareth Sartoris, who had been commanding the prison barge Purge when it experienced engine trouble near the Star Destroyer's location. Gorrister held Sartoris' attention as he explained what had happened to the ship's crew, while two of his companions injected Sartoris with a dose of Norbutal to render him unconscious and unable to resist. However, Sartoris was much stronger than the survivors anticipated, and he was able to shake of the drug's effects. Sartoris was able to grab Gorrister by the collar and ram his head into the shuttle's hatch, which had been locked to keep the corpses outside. Gorrister's skull was caved in by the impact, and Sartoris threw his dead body out to the re-animated corpses. He also threw any other survivors who tried to attack him out of the shuttle, using their bodies to distract the corpses long enough to make his way to deactivate the Star Destroyer's tractor beam.

A trader by profession, Lalo Gunn thought that she could make a decent living on Kynachi, but discovered that the Trade Federation had taken control of the planet's commerce, and lost virtually all of her possessions. She was allowed to keep her starship, although it was grounded, so she turned it into a small restaurant that came to be known as Gunn's Diner. Lalo kept a watchful eye on the natives, and was able to use her hair coloration to blend in with the surrounding population. About a year after the Battle of Geonosis, Lalo Gunn welcomed a group of strangers into her home. The strangers, including Nuru Kungurama and three clone troopers named Breaker, Chatterbox, and Knuckles, were posing as farmers, but Lalo was able to see through their disguises. She was surprised to learn from Nuru that the galaxy was caught up in the Clone Wars, since the Trade Federation's jamming of all planetary transmissions also eliminated any incoming HoloNet connections. She also explained that the KynachTech facility was now producing droids and weapons, and that there were rumors of prison cells being hidden deep inside. The reality of the war hit home when a group of Separatist battle droids tracked Nuru and the clones to Gunn's Diner, attacking her droid Teejay before being driven off by the clones, with help from Cad Bane. With Bane's help and Lalo's knowledge, the group came up with a plan to infiltrate the KynachTech Industries factory and free any prisoners who were being held there. The mission proved largely successful, although Breaker was badly injured when the factory's self-destruction system was activated by Overseer Umbrag, and Jedi Master Ring-Sol Ambase was not found among the captives. When Nuru later communicated the situation to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, he was charged by Jedi Master Yoda to attend a diplomatic meeting between the Republic and the Chiss.

When Holt's crew discovered that the Millennium Falcon was part of the small Alliance task force that traveled to Morne's location, he relayed this information to Vader and asked if there were any changes to his orders. Captain Holt was somewhat confused when Vader to him to hold his position, and to allow any rebels who fled the world to go free. Holt remained in orbit when an one of the Alliance ships sped past his Star Destroyer, but when the second vessel appeared on a collision course, Vader ordered him to open fire. Before he could relay this contradictory order, Holt and his entire crew were transformed into rakghouls by Celeste Morne, who had commandeered the rebel ship and then fled into the depths of space.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Inner Seers
This was one of the many groups of Force-sensitive individuals that existed in the galaxy. (FJ3)

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

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

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

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

Jabori
This was the term used to describe the inhabitants of the planet Jabor. (FJ3)

Jango Jumper
This was a slang term used by certain Jedi Knights, during the hight of the Clone Wars, to describe any being who attempted to flee from an encounter by leaping across a vast distance. The term referred to the fact that Jango Fett used his backpack rocket to propel himself away from multiple encounters with Obi-Wan Kenobi. (CWTV33)

Javis Tyrr Presents
This regular news broadcast was hosted by Javis Tyrr, during the years that followed the Swarm War. Tyrr rose to prominence after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, when he began following the Jedi Knights who were experiencing strange Force-related psychoses. His reports earned him a following, and spawned the series of special reports entitled Javis Tyrr Presents: The Jedi Among Us. (FJ3)

Javis Tyrr Presents: The Jedi Among Us
This series of half-hour news specials was hosted by Javis Tyrr, and was aired in the wake of the strange events surrounding Valin and Jysella Horn. Many of the early shows focused on the actions of the two Jedi when they began to experience Force-related psychoses and caused damage to public citizens and property, and took advantage of growing anti-Jedi sentiment by posing questions about the safety of the public in a world where the Jedi Order was not controlled by the government. Later shows focused on the history of the Jedi Order, in an attempt to show some measure of partiality. These shows drew poor ratings, prompting Tyrr's producers to ask for more "lively" themes for upcoming shows. (FJ2)

Jax
This clone trooper cadet was one of many who were being trained to serve as clone troopers, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Cadet Jax was stationed aboard the cruier Endurance, where he and other clones were given first-hand experience aboard a working ship during wartime. Jax befriended a fellow cadet named Lucky, who seemed to be something of a loner. When the Endurance experienced a devastating explosion in its reactor core, Jax and Lucky were able to reach an escape pod and blast away from the ship, although the pod deployed incorrectly and its maneuvering system was damaged, causing it to move off in a different direction. Jax and the other cadets inside the escape pod were dismayed to learn that Lucky was actually Boba Fett, who had tried to kill Jedi Master Mace Windu aboard the Endurance, in an attempt to avenge the death of his father, Jango Fett. Fett was rescued by Aurra Sing, who ordered the other cadets to be set adrift and abandoned in space. Jax tried to calm his fellow cadets, but was as relieved as the others were when they were rescued by Republic search vessels. (CWTV42)

Jayn
This male Phindian was one of the handful of bounty hunters and mercenaries who answered a strange call for skilled pilots, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. A veteran of many hunts, Jayn had planned to settle down with his beloved, Leilana, and move to the capital city of Laressa, but he knew that they didn't have enough credits to live there. So, he kept taking one more job, always explaining that it would be his last. Things never played out as Jayn had hoped, and Leilana eventually left him alone. Jayn had decided to answer the strange call for pilots, hoping that he could earn enough credits to finally settle down. Unknown to Jayn and the other pilots who arrived at Iope, the call had been put out by the Imperial spy known as X-7, who was hoping to find a pilot to help him eliminate Luke Skywalker. The pilots were also unaware that they were not only competing for the job, they were competing for their lives, because X-7 would only take the pilot who survived a dogfight. Jayn's ship, the Leilana's Dagger, was quickly disabled by X-7, and without engines to give him an escape, Jayn was quickly killed when X-7 destroyed the ship. (RF4)

Jedi Ambassadorial Shuttle
This specially-designed shuttle was developed for use by the Jedi Order, during the height of the Clone Wars. This shuttle had one fixed wing atop its fuselage, and two foldable wings that were mounted on the side. The central fuselage was fronted by a spherical cockpit, which gave the pilot and co-pilot a wider view of the space around the vessel. The side wings could fold up during landing, and folded down for maneuverability while in flight. A pair of landing struts provided the only stability when the shuttle was on the ground, and were supported by small repulsors that kept the ship upright. (CWTV31)

Jedi Rampage
This was the sensationalist term used by the popular media on the planet Coruscant to describe the actions of Jysella Horn, when the young Jedi Knight suddenly experienced a type of Force-related psychosis, several years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Jysella had forced her way out of the Jedi Temple and tried to run away from the other Jedi, whom she believed had been replaced with strange dopplegangers. Once free of the Temple, Jysella drew her lightsaber in order to fend off any pursuit, drawing the attention of several reporters and the Galactic Alliance Security force. The security team surrounded her, and their combined fire was enough to stun Jysella and take her into custody. Although no civilians were harmed, and there was very little property damage, Javis Tyrr used the phrase "Jedi Rampage" in his report on the incident, as much to gain readership as to further his own career. (FJ2)

Jenny
This woman was one of the many vendors who sold their wares in the central market of the planetary capital of Artorias, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Like the rest of the Artorians, Jenny was unaware that the Yuuzhan Vong had already infiltrated their homeworld. Thus, when the first shots were fired, Jenny was showing a vase to Nina Galfridian, unaware that anything was wrong until a blaster bolt struck the vase and pierced Jenny's chest. Nina and several other woman managed to drag Jenny to safety, but they were totally defenseless against the alien invaders, and were taken captive. (INV1)

Jerec
This Mandalorian man served as a Deputy Minister within the Council of Neutral Systems, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Although he was loyal to Duchess Satine Kryze of Kalevala, Jerec produced information to the Galactic Senate that claimed to prove that the Death Watch was active on the planet Mandalore. This information was revealed to the entire Galactic Senate by Chancellor Palpatine, which came as a complete surprise to Duchess Satine. Jerec's words ran countered to Duchess Satine's claims that the Death Watch was under control, but she had no time discuss the matter with Jerec, for Palpatine claimed that he had been killed in a bombing on the planet Kalevala. Duchess Satine later learned that the recording of Jerec had been falsified in order to serve as the primary evidence to support a Republic invasion of Mandalore, and the invasion was called off when the evidence was presented to the Senate. (CWTV36)

Jesse
This clone troopers served under Captain Rex, during the height of the Clone Wars. Distinguished by the Republic symbol that was painted on his helmet and tattooed on his face, Jesse was part of the small team that was dispatched to the planet Saleucami, during an early hunt for General Grievous. (CWT32)

Kaas City
This was the name of the ancient capital of the planet Dromund Kaas. The city was established in the jungles of the planet by a group of Sith Lords who survived the Great Hyperspace War, then spent twenty years making random jumps through hyperspace to elude the Old Republic and locate a suitable world on which to live. The city grew larger and more diverse over the centuries that followed, until the Treaty of Coruscant was signed, establishing the Sith as the primary power in the galaxy. However, the Sith were eventually defeated, and Kaas City was all but abandoned for many centuries. (SWORW)

Kalevala
This planet was a member of the Galactic Republic, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Some two decades before the Battle of Geonosis, the planet was plunged into a devastating civil war, and Duchess Satine Kryze was forced to flee the planet for sanctuary on Mandalore until the conflict could be resolved. The fighting was vicious, and much of the planet suffered greatly under the attacks and counter-attacks that occurred on a regular basis. (OWS, CWTV35)

Karpette
This female Rodian served as a member of the Galactic Alliance Security force, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Karpette was assigned to Captain Atar's team, and delivered a warrant for the arrest of any Jedi Knight who was deemed criminally dangerous to the Jedi Temple, following the strange actions of Bazel Warv and Yaqeel Saav'etu. (FJ3)

KDY Orbital Defense Platform
This planetary defense station was produced by Kuat Drive Yards, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong War. (FJ3)

Ke'e, Rasher
This young, female Bothan served the Galactic Alliance Security forces as a Lieutenant, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Lieutenant Rasher served under Captain Atar, and was on duty when Jaina Solo and a group of Jedi tried to enter the Galactic Alliance Storage facility where Valin and Jysella Horn were being held prisoner. Captain Atar placed Ke'e in charge of ensuring that only the Jedi, including Corran Horn, and Mirax Horn were allowed to enter the facility. Javis Tyrr was among a group of news reporters who had arrived at the facility, and Ke'e moved to block their access, until Jaina Solo demanded that they be allowed to follow the Jedi. Solo forced Ke'e to accede, asking her if she was willing to shoot the reporters while they were recording the events, in order to prevent them from entering. (FJ3)

Kep-She
This Jedi Master was part of the small task force that was dispatched to confront corporate warships during the Battle of Malastare Narrows, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. (CWTV38)

Khai, Lahka
This woman was one of the many members of the Sith civilization that evolved on the planet Kesh. Despite the fact that she lacked any connection to the Force, Lahka was chosen by Gavar Khai to be his wife, and their union produced a daughter named Vestara. (FJ2)

Khai, Thallis
This Sith Lord was the father of Gavar Khai. (FJ2)

Khonji Seven
This remote planet was located just beyond the Brunet System. The Imperial Biological Weapons Division had planned to test the contagion that was the focus of Imperial Bioweapons Project I71A at a facility on Khonji Seven, but the Star Destroyer that was transporting the contagion never arrived. The contagion had been spread to the ship's crew when a container seal leaked, and the crew was quickly infected and killed. (SWDT)

Kilian
This man served as an Admiral in the naval forces of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Admiral Kilian was placed in command of the Venator-class Star Destroyer Endurance, which was at once a working warship and a training facility for groups of young clone cadets. When something caused the ship's reactor core to begin to tear itself apart, Admiral Kilian ordered all hands to evacuate, but remained behind. A student of the oldest naval traditions, Admiral Kilian refused to leave, preferring instead to go down with his ship. Clone Commander Ponds joined Kilian aboard the bridge of the Endurance as it plummeted toward the planet Vanqor. (CWTV42)

Killik Colony
This was another name used to describe The Colony, stemming from the fact that the members of The Colony were descendants of the Killik race. (FJ3)

King of the Hutts
This was a slang term used to describe any being who tried to be more important than they actually were. The term referred to the fact that the Hutts answered to no being, let alone a single King. (SM1)

Kix
This clone troopers served under Captain Rex, during the height of the Clone Wars. Kix was known for the unusual tattoos that covered his head, one of which was a sentence in Aurebesh that read "A good droid is a dead one." Kix was part of the small team that was dispatched to the planet Saleucami, during an early hunt for General Grievous. Kix served as the squad's field medic, and his training came in handy when Rex was shot in the chest by a battle droid. The squad brought Rex to a farm that was owned by the Twi'lek female known as Suu, who reluctantly let them tend to Rex in her barn. This allowed Kix to administer bacta to the Captain, but only after discovering that the blast that hit Rex very nearly pierced his heart. (CWT32)

Kloth
This man served as the Warden of the Imperial Prison Barge Purge, about a year before the Battle of Yavin. In order to make his office aboard the barge appear larger and more important, Kloth filled its walls with holomurals and other video screens, many of which were surplus items that he had acquired over his career. The only window in the office was a huge viewport that showed the expanse of space outside the ship, adding to the sense of grandeur. This interior design mirrored Kloth's own personal demeanor, as many of his peers regarded him has an outwardly bureaucratic man who lacked the initiative and bravery to act on his own. Kloth was known to remain mostly in his offices, especially when it was time to make majro decisions. When the Purge experienced problems with its drives while moving through the Unknown Regions, Warden Kloth and the rest of his crew were surprised to find a Star Destroyer in the immediate vicinity. The Star Destroyer appeared to have been abandoned, although a dozen life-forms were detected by the Purge's scanners. Kloth sent Captain Jareth Sartoris and an engineering crew to the Star Destroyer, hoping that some of its drive components could be salvaged to repair the Purge. Kloth explained that the mission was an opportunity for Sartoris to redeem himself, after he was accused of murdering Von Longo. The engineering crew returned with parts that could be used to repair the barge, but they also carried with them an unusual contagion that swept through the ship, killing most of its passengers in a matter of hours. Kloth himself became infected, and was confronted by Sartoris. Although Kloth tried to fight against the infection, Sartoris simply drew his blasters and shot Kloth in the head, hoping to ensure that the Warden would not spread the infection any further. (SWDT)

Knee-high
This was a slang term used by many clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe a youngling, referring to the fact that most children stood just about as tall as a trooper's knee. (CWTV39)

Knuckles
This was the nickname given to one of the clone troopers who served under Captain Lock, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Knuckles was known to his squad mates for his physical stamina, and he was unbeaten in contests to see which clone could do the most push-ups. When his unit was dispatched to the planet Kynachi, Knuckles spent most of his time in contests of strength, However, this did not prevent him from being thrown across the deck of their cruiser when they arrived at Kynachi and found the planet blockaded by Separatist naval forces. The ship came under heavy fire, and Knuckles was knocked into the door of utility locker while trying to reach an escape pod. A blue-skinned boy fell out of the locker, and Knuckles was forced to protect the youth as they made their escape with Breaker and Chatterbox. The boy turned out to be Nuru Kungurama, the Padawan apprentice of the Jedi who was commanding the mission, Ring-Sol Ambase. Knuckles muscled Nuru into an escape pod, and along with several other clone troopers, they blasted away to the planet's surface. Once there, Knuckles asked Nuru what their next actions should be, looking to the boy for leadership because he was the only Jedi around. (SM1)

Krabbis Inn
This hostel was located on the planet Coruscant, during the years that followed the Swarm War. Much of the Krabbis Inn was located below the main levels of Galactic City, allowing the owners and staff to provide tourist accommodations at cut-rate prices. In order to ensure that the inn's occupants were able to enjoy their stays, the owners of the Krabbis Inn obtained governmental approval to limit parking on its roof to only those vehicles that were owned by the occupants. (FJ3)

Kryze, Satine
This noble woman was a Duchess who hailed from the planet Kalevala. As a young woman, Satince was forced to flee from Kalevala during a period of civil war, and she was escorted to Mandalore by Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Satine and Kenobi developed a deep friendship that might have turned into something more romantic, following an adventure on Draboon, if Kenobi's vows to the Jedi Order had not been so deep. They parted ways on amicable terms, and didn't see each other for many years. During the era of the Clone Wars, Duchess Satine was named the leader of the Council of Neutral Systems, giving her the power to influence a number of star systems. However, despite the Council's stated intention of staying out of the war, rumors surfaced that Duchess Satine was amassing a huge army on the planet Mandalore. When an old acquaintence in the form of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived on Mandalore to investigate these rumors, Duchess Satine was outwardly surprised when he produced a recording of a Mandalorian terrorist who killed himself rather than be captured by Republic forces. She explained that she had been working toward a new vision of a peaceful Mandalore, but the members of the Death Watch - who had been exiled to the moon Concordia - were causing the trouble that was leading to the rumors. As if to underscore her concerns, a terrorist bombed the Peace Park that was established in Sundari, at the same moment that Duchess Satine was escorting Kenobi on a tour of the city. She then agreed to accompany Kenobi to Concordia, to return the body of the terrorist to its home and to investigate the presence of the Death Watch.

She covered for Kenobi during a dinner with Governor Pre Vizsla, claiming that Kenobi was absent because he was meditating, and not actually carrying on his own secret investigation. After Vizsla revealed that he was the leader of the Death Watch, he was defeated in combat by Kenobi, and forced to flee. Although she refused to believe that the Separatists were involved in Mandalorian politics, Duchess Satine returned to Mandalore with Kenobi and several Senators who represented the Council of Neutral Systems, and agreed to travel to Coruscant to ask for independence in dealing with the Death Watch threat. However, Duchess Satine resented the presence of Kenobi, his clones, and his former Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, aboard her transport vessel Coronet. She argued with Kenobi about this during the trip to Coruscant, and their arguments soon reached the ears of the other Senators. Unknown to most of the others aboard the ship, Senator Tal Merrik had secretly brought a group of assassin probes aboard the ship, hoping to capture Satine and silence her. When Kenobi discovered that Merrik was behind the appearance of the killing droids, Merrik grabbed Satine and used her as a hostage to make his way to the bridge. There, he killed the crew and rigged the ship's engines to explode if he wasn't allowed to escape. Merrik continued to use Duchess Satine as a living shield as he made his way to an escape pod, bt he was distracted when Kenobi arrived. Satine appeared to openly declare her love for Kenobi, and Kenobi admitted that he still loved her. With Merrik griping about their show of affection, Satine stepped on his foot and twisted in his grip, freeing herself and taking possession of Merrik's blaster.

Once safely on Coruscant, Duchess Satine addressed the Galactic Senate, explaining that the Death Watch was not a galactic concern, and that Mandalore would deal with it. Unfortunately, Chancellor Palpatine produced a recording in which Deputy Minister Jerec explained the Death Watch was much stronger than the Mandalorian government let on. Without proof of her own, Satine was forced to watch helplessly as Chancellor Palpatine called for a vote to send Republic troops to Mandalore. Storming out of the Senate Rotunda, Duchess Satine was attacked by a Mandalorian warrior, and only barely managed to leap to safety before her speeder crashed into a building. Palpatine refused to investigate the crash, since there appeared to be no evidence to support her claim of an assassination attempt. Duchess Satine's faith in the Republic was shaken, but came into serious question when the Senate voted to send Republic troops to Mandalore, without her being present. Davu Golec later provided the Duchess with intelligence that proved Deputy Minister Jerec's statements had been forged, but Satine knew that turning this data over to the Republic had to be done properly. She gave the recordings to Senator Padme' Amidala, then turned herself in after she was wanted in connection with the assassination of Davu Golec. Satine's interrogation was interrupted by Senator Amidala, who presented the actual recordings of Jerec's statements to the authorities. Although Chancellor Palpatine offered his apologies, Satine knew that there was still trouble ahead on Mandalore. (CWTV34, CWTV35, CWTV36)

Kungurama, Nuru
This young Chiss male was one of the few members of his race to ever be trained as a Jedi Knight. Nuru was apprenticed to Master Skaa during the months leading up to the Battle of Geonosis, but was reassigned to Master Ring-Sol Ambase after Master Skaa's death on Geonosis. Nuru continued to train on the planet Coruscant as the Clone Wars engulfed the galaxy, doing his best to control his emotions whiel trying to please his new Master. About a year after Geonosis, Master Ambase was asked to investigate the appearance of a KynachTech Industries circuit board found among the wreckage of the Separatist warship Malevolence, but he demanded that Nuru remain on Coruscant. This did not feel right to Nuru, because Master Skaa had also left him behind when the fighting started on Geonosis. The difference was that Master Skaa never explained that he was leaving, so Nuru appreciated Master Ambase's consideration of his feelings. Even with this gesture, however, Nuru had a distinct feeling that Master Ambase would not return from the mission, and so Nuru decided to stow away aboard Ambase's ship.

Nuru took with him the lightsaber that he had secretly constructed, hoping that his instruction with low-powered training lightsabers would be enough to keep him alive, if he were forced to use the weapon. As he boarded the ship, Nuru had to use the Force to influence a clone trooper who happened to spy him, rubbing out the clone's memory. The trip passed quickly, but when they arrived at Kynachi, they found the planet being blockaded by Separatist forces. The Separatists attacked them almost immediately, and their ship took heavy fire. Nuru, who was hidden in a utility locker, wasn't aware of what was happening until a blast rocked the ship, and a clone trooper named Knuckles that thrown into the door of the locker. The door popped open, and Knuckles was forced to drag Nuru to the nearest escape pod, where they managed to flee the ship with Chatterbox and Breaker, who had been the clone Nuru first encountered aboard their ship. Upon reaching the surface of Kynachi, the clones turned to Nuru for advice on what to do next, and Knuckles became frustrated when he didn't have an immediate answer. Nuru realized that the clones were looking at him as a Jedi, not just a student, and he quickly established a simple plan.

They made their way toward the nearest settlement, and were taken in by Lalo Gunn. Unfortunately, their presence on the planet was discovered by Trade Federation agents, and a group of battle droids were sent to eliminate them. Although Nuru felt he was up to the challenge of facing the droids, Breaker shoved him out of the way to make sure Nuru survived the attack. Nuru was glad for the effort when the group discovered that the Separatist droids who were searching for himself and the clones. Lalo Gunn then explained that the Separatists had taken over the KynachTech Industries factory, and were using it as a prison facility. With help from Cad Bane, who claimed to be simply looking for someone in the factory, Nuru and the clones devised a plan to infiltrate the factory and rescue the captives, hoping that they would be able to locate Master Ambase and any surviving clones. The mission proved successful, although Breaker was killed in the attempt when Overseer Umbrag set off the factory's self-destruction mechanism. Knuckles jokingly referred to their unit as Breakout Squad, since they were able to break the prisoners out of the factory. However, Master Ambase was not among the captives who were freed, although Cad Bane did return his lightsaber to Nuru.

Upon returning to Gunn's Diner, Nuru made contact with the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, and was surprised to meet with Jedi Master Yoda and Chancellor Palpatine, who petitioned Master Yoda to allow Nuru to serve as the Jedi representative on a diplomatic mission to meet with the Chiss. Breakout Squad was charged with protecting Nuru during the mission. (SM1)

Kynachi
This race of humans, distinguished by their golden hair, was native to the planet Kynachi. The golden color of their hair was caused by the regular diet of the Kynachi, and those individuals who spent time away from their homeworld often had hair that paled in color. (SM1)

Kynachi
This planet was the homeworld of the Kynachi people. The majority of the planet's native inhabitants made their living in farming and agriculture, although a few gifted individuals were hired by the planet's sole technology corporation, KynachTech Industries. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, much of the planet's commerce was usurped by the Trade Federation, although the Federation made every effort to keep its presence a secret from the Galactic Republic. The leadership of Kynachi chose to sever its ties to the Galactic Republic, and the planet adopted an isolationist government. Although Kynachi was outwardly neutral during the Clone Wars, pieces of KynachTech circuitry was found in the wreckage of the Separatist warship Malevolence by a squad of clone troopers from the Grand Army of the Republic. While the Republic went about launching an investigation, Separatist naval forces blockaded the planet, led by the bounty hunter Cad Bane. (SM1)

KynachTech Industries
This technology manufacturer was based on the planet Kynachi, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Although KynachTech had traditionally produced technology that applied only to peaceful uses, several circuit boards produced by the corporation were discovered in the wreckage of the Separatist warship Malevolence. Jedi Master Ring-Sol Ambase, himself a native of Kynachi, investigated this link at the request of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. The mission was launched shortly afterward, although Master Ambase and his troops found that Kynachi had been blockade by the Separatists. Ambase's Padawan, Nuru Kungurama, learned that the Trade Federation had established a foothold on the planet sometime after the Battle of Naboo, and had taken over the KynachTech factory headquarters for its own use. A transmission-jamming tower was constructed atop the main factory building, preventing any outsiders from learning that the factory had been retooled to produce combat droids and weaponry. Nuru and his clones also learned that the Federation had also constructed a prison beneath the factory. (SM1)

Kyuzo
This hulking, alien race was distinguished by its hairless body and glowling eyes. (CWTV39)

Lady
This was the title used to describe any female Sith Master of The Tribe who was promoted to the rank of High Lord. (FJ2)

Lake of Apparitions
According to the Mind Walkers, the Lake of Apparitions was located near the Throne of Balance. One end of the Lake was surrounded by a low meadow that was strewn with boulders and hummocks, each of which cast a reflection on the lake. However, instead of seeing mirror images of these inanimate objects on the surface, visitors to the Lake of Apparitions saw reflections of other visitors who had come to the Lake. These reflections were visible about ten centimeters below the surface of the Lake, hovering just above the depths, and were the images of exceptionally strong beings whose Force presence had become separated from their physical bodies. However, the Mind Walkers were uncertain if the Lake of Apparitions was where these Force presences dwelt, or if it was simply a way for them to look out on those who were still connected to their bodies. Over time, most of the Force presences in the Lake seemed to depart, and no longer show themselves to new visitors. The other end of the Lake was known as the Mirror of Remembrance, and the deepest parts of the Lake were known as the Depths of Eternity. Any being who waded into the Lake of Apparitions found that the water was generally about calf high, although movement through the water caused no ripples or waves, nor was there any sound associated sloshing through the water. (FJ3)

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

Language of Ceremony
This was the modern name for the ancient Hsoosh language, which was spoken by members of the highest royal houses of the Falleen culture. Although Hsoosh fell out of common usage more than two millennia before the Second Galactic Civil War, the upper classes continued to maintain it as a way to distinguish themselves from the common masses. (FJ3)

Lariats, Nat
This young, female Nautolan was one of the many Padawans who were being trained at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Nat was a friend of Nuru Kungurama, and was surprised when the young Chiss revealed that he had already built his own lightsaber. (SM1)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

LevitaRest
This was a brand of repulsorlift-equipped furniture that was produced during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. LevitaRest couches and chairs were both luxurious and fashionable, and were created in styles that suited a number of eras and designs. (FJ3)

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

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

Lightning-rod Technique
This was a simple name used to describe the hassat-durr technique that was practiced by the Baran Do Sages. (FJ2)

Lock
This clone trooper served as a Captain in the Grand Army of the Republic, during the era of the Clone Wars. A veteran of the Battle of Geonosis, Captain Lock and his unit were assigned to investigate the shattered hulk of the Separatist warship Malevolence, after it was discovered on a barren moon within the Kaliida Nebula. Lock and his clones were then assigned to Jedi Master Ring-Sol Ambase, who had been askde by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to investigate the appearance of KynachTech Industries circuitry aboard the Malevolence. When their task force arrived at Kynachi, it was immediately attacked by the Separatist forces that were blockading the planet, and although Lock was injured in the assault, he managed to make it to an escape pod. Note that Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Secret Mission #1 - Breakout Squad indicates that Lock sacrificed his own life to save the other clones. Months later, Lock and his squad were assigned to Jedi Master Eeth Koth. When their cruiser was attacked in the Outer Rim by General Grievous, Captain Lock and his fellow clones fought valiantly to prevent Grievous and his droids from boarding the cruiser. However, the droids were too numerous for the clones to handle, and Lock and his men were quickly cut down. This allowed Grievous to capture Master Koth and take him prisoner. (CWTV31, SM1)

Longo, Kale
This young man, along with his younger brother Trig and their father, Von, were among the prisoners who were captured by the Empire for suspected rebel activities on their homeworld of Cimarosa, more than a year before the Battle of Yavin. They were placed aboard the prison barge Purge for transport to a penal colony, and found themselves struggling to survive. Von had made a deal with Sixtus Cleft to gain a measure of safety from the gangs of thugs that formed among the general population of prisoners, but he died before sealing the deal with Cleft. Kale decided to follow up with the deal, in order to protect himself and Trig, but they found that Sixtus had been murdered by Aur Myss. Myss confronted the boys, but Kale refused to be bullied. In order to make an escape, he reached out and yanked Myss' lower lip from his face. Although the brothers managed to escape, Aur Myss placed a ten-thousand-credit bounty on their heads, knowing that one of the prisoners would eventually turn them in.

When the Purge experienced engine trouble and a repair crew was dispatched to a derelict ship to salvage parts, they brought back with them a strange contagion that swept through the ship. Within hours, prisoners and officers alike were dying from the infection, although Trig and Kale seemed to be immune. Without someone to monitor them, the locks on the detention cell bars were opened, and Myss made his move to kill the brothers. He attacked Kale first, giving Trig on opportunity to eliminate the Delphanian by strangling him. Myss, who seemed to have been infected, whirled around and grabbed Trig, but this allowed Kale to pick up a knife and stab Myss in the skull. After discovering that it had been ICO Wembly who had opened the cells, in order to give any survivors a chance to get free, Trig and Kale made their way out into the Gen Pop area of the barge. They were surprised by Captain Jareth Sartoris, who was believed to have been involved in the death of Von Longo. Sartoris gave them a sneer before sealing himself in the only operating escape pod. The idea of escaping became more important after the brothers met up with the other survivors, Zahara Cody and two prisoners, Han Solo and Chewbacca. Unfortunately, Sartoris had overridden the hatches on the escape pods, so Cody went to the bridge to try and release them.

Solo and the Wookiee went with Doctor Cody, leaving Trig and Kale to monitor the escape pods. Kale thought he heard something in the corridor near them, and set out to determine what had made the noise. When he returned, Kale found that Trig had been attacked by something that had come out of the escape pods. The brothers then tried to reach Doctor Cody and the others on the bridge, but were confronted by the re-animated corpse of their father. Trig was rescued by Solo and Chewbacca, but Kale was too stunned to move. Another corpse grabbed him by the leg and inflicted a deep gash, and the combination of pain and confusion forced Kale to faint. He came to in the infirmary, where Cody was treating the injury to his leg. Kale pleaded with Cody to amputate the leg, not because of any pain, but because he could sense something growing within the wound and trying to move through the rest of his body. When Cody refused to act, Kale removed the bandages and showed her what was happening. The contagion was reproducing rapidly, taking over the flesh of his leg and moving up toward his waist and hips. Cody then made an incision in Kale's abdomen, and began removing lumps of diseased flesh in an attempt to eliminate the contagion from his body.

In the meantime, the group made their way to the derelict Star Destroyer, in an attempt to discover what was happening and make their escape. Cody carried Kale as best she could, but her slow progress meant that a group of re-animated bodies could catch up to them. The undead had learned to use weapons, and began firing at them. Unfortunately, one of the blasts hit Kale squarely in the face, taking out half of his skull and killing him instantly. Cody was forced to drop his body and run for her life, but the contagion eventually killed and then re-animated Kale's body. Trig soon caught sight of Kale and tried to follow him, unware that Kale had been taken over the by contagion. Kale then tried to attack his former brother and infect him, but Trig managed to wrestle his body to a ventilation shaft and throw it down the vent, where Kale's body was torn apart. (SWDT)

Longo, Trig
A native of the planet Cimarosa, this young man, along with his older brother Kale and their father, Von, were among the prisoners who were captured by the Empire for suspected rebel activities, more than a year before the Battle of Yavin. At nearly fourteen years old, Trig felt that he might never become the strong-willed individual his brother was. Thus, he was surprised when, with his dying breaths, his father asked him to watch out for his brother. Trig immediately said that he would, but had no idea what his father meant, and wondered if Von had been unaware of who he was talking with at the time. Trig and Kale kept to themselves as much as possible after their father's death, although Kale tried to gain them some security by striking a deal with Sixtus Cleft. Unfortunately, Cleft was murdered by his boss, Aur Myss, leaving the brothers at the mercy of the Face Gang. Kale refused to be bullied, and ripped out several of the facial piercings that cover the face of Aur Myss, earning them both a ten-thousand-credit bounty for their capture. The boys were able to escape from the Face Gang, but Myss placed a ten-thousand-credit bounty on their heads, and found a way to move into a cell next to the Longo brothers.

When the Purge experienced engine trouble and a repair crew was dispatched to a derelict ship to salvage parts, they brought back with them a strange contagion that swept through the ship. Within hours, prisoners and officers alike were dying from the infection, although Trig and Kale seemed to be immune. Without someone to monitor them, the locks on the detention cell bars were opened, and Myss made his move to kill the brothers. He attacked Kale first, giving Trig on opportunity to eliminate the Delphanian by strangling him. Myss, who seemed to have been infected, whirled around and grabbed Trig, but this allowed Kale to pick up a knife and stab Myss in the skull. After discovering that it had been ICO Wembly who had opened the cells, in order to give any survivors a chance to get free, Trig and Kale made their way out into the Gen Pop area of the barge. They were surprised by Captain Jareth Sartoris, who was believed to have been involved in the death of Von Longo. Sartoris gave them a sneer before sealing himself in the only operating escape pod. The idea of escaping became more important after the brothers met up with the other survivors, Zahara Cody and two prisoners, Han Solo and Chewbacca. Unfortunately, Sartoris had overridden the hatches on the escape pods, so Cody went to the bridge to try and release them. It was then that Trig realized that, despite the fact that the contagion had killed everyone else onboard, there were no dead bodies to be found.

Just as Cody was set to open the escape pods, Trig realized that something was inside the pod, scratching to get out. The creature leapt from the escape pod and attacked Trig, but he was able to fend the creature off and find a hiding space. Kale found him a short time later, and the brothers tried to make their way back to the others. Unfortunately, they were confronted by the re-animated corpse of their father, which tried to attack them. Solo managed to grab Trig and pull him to safety, but Kale was injured when another re-animated corpse cut his leg open. Cody tried to remove the contagion as best she could, but she was unsure if she had eliminated it completed. In the meantime, the group made their way to the derelict Star Destroyer, in an attempt to discover what was happening and make their escape. Unknown to Trig, Kale was killed when a group of re-animated corpses attacked him and Doctor Cody. Thus, when he saw Kale disappear into a chamber, Trig tried to follow him. Trig found himself inside a room that was filled with mangled body parts, and was confronted by several re-animated corpses that were feeding on the flesh. He managed to escape from these corpses, but was confronted by Kale's dead body. Kale tried to attack his former brother and infect him, but Trig managed to wrestle Kale's body to a ventilation shaft and throw it into the vent, where it was torn apart.

Trig thought that his problems were over, until he was confronted by the shambling corpse of Aur Myss. Myss managed to drag Trig off a ledge overlooking the ventilation shaft, and they would have falled into a group of other corpses if Jareth Sartoris hadn't swept in with a hovercraft. Trig landed on the small vehicle with a thud, dislodging Myss and sending the Delphanian to his second death. Sartoris was accompanied by Han Solo and Chewbacca, but refused to stay with them. Instead, he ordered Trig to fly the hovercraft to the Star Destroyer's hangar bay and locate a young officer named White, before escaping from the ship. Sartoris then told Trig that Von Longo had been a good many, before jumping off the vehicle in an attempt to kill himself. The three of them were later reunited with Doctor Cody, and they found the shuttle Sartoris had told them about. White had been killed while saving Doctor Cody, leaving just four survivors from both ships. After making their escape and returning to the galactic community, Trig and Cody remained together, and traveled to various worlds to deliver the final messages from crew members that Cody had found aboard the Purge. (SWDT)

Longo, Von
This man and his two sons, Kale and Trig, were arrested by Imperial forces on their homeworld of Cimarosa and charged with being rebel agents, more than a year before the Battle of Yavin. Von, distinguished by his intense blue eyes, was an aging man who wanted nothing but the best for his family. He was known as an excellent chef to his family, and often spent a good deal of time preparing hearty breakfast meals. Much of his life was spent on the fringes of the galaxy, working among thieves and counterfeiters to buy and sell contraband. However, whenever he was home, Von made sure to spend as much time with his sons. He passed on much of his practical knowledge about how the galaxy worked, hoping to give them the skills and smarts they needed to survive, regardles of which government was in power. This did not stop the Empire from throwing them into prison, then transporting them to a penal colony aboard the prison barge Purge. In the weeks that followed, Von did his best to make sure that his sons were as safe as possible, and had planned to cut a deal with Sixtus Cleft when he was sent to the infirmary. What happened at the infirmary was unclear, but Jareth Sartoris was implicated in Von's eventual death, following a statement from Doctor Zahara Cody. His body was kept in the simple morgue aboard the ship, pending an investigation when the crew arrived at Detention Moon Gradient Seven, but the Purge experienced engine problem and was stranded in the Unknown Regions. An attempt to salvage parts from a derelict Star Destroyer led to the infection of the entire population of the Purge, and the strange contagion eventually reached Von Longo's dead body. The contagion entered his body and began to reproduce, and eventually was able to re-animated the body. Von's corpse began to move about the ship, and soon encountered his son Kale. Kale was stunned by the sudden appearance of his dead father, which allowed another re-animated corpse to infect Kale by attacking his leg. (SWDT)

Loo, Tukker Val
This Roonan Jedi Knight was among the many who were forced into military duty, during the height of the Clone Wars. (CWTV31)

Lor, Desha
This green-skinned Twi'lek female worked for the Galactic Alliance, during the years that followed the Swarm War. She was distinguished by the coloration of her skin, which was patterned with darker green stripes. An excellent student, Desha Lor was hired to work as an aide to Chief of State Natasi Daala, who was a friend of the Lor family. Desha's father was a diplomat from Ryloth, and she had spent more than a year working as an intern before being hired by the Chief of State's office. Desha was quite appreciative of the job offer, and gave every effort to make sure that she earned Daala's continued trust and confidence. This led to a difficult assignment when Wynn Dorvan, Daala's chief aide, assigned Desha with the task of tracking the locations and activities of certain key members of the Jedi Order, following the actions of Natua Wan and the chaos she caused at the Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition. (FJ2)

Lord
This was the lowest rank among those Sith Masters who ruled their civilization on the planet Kesh. These Sith were the human descendants of the survivors of the crash-landing of the Omen. Thirteen Lords were chosen to serve on the Sith Circle of Lords, along with seven High Lords, and this body of Masters was governed by the Grand Lord. (FJ2)

Loremaster
This was a title used to describe the third Darth Wyyrlok to serve under Sith Lord Darth Krayt, more than 130 years after the Battle of Yavin. The title referred to Wyyrlok's extensive knowledge of the Force, especially the Sith arts, and his immense collection of tome, scrolls, recordings, and holocrons. (SWLIC)

Lorteli, Arabelle
This Zoolli woman the judge who was appointed by the Galactic Alliance Chief of State, Natasi Daala, to preside over any legal matter that involved the Jedi Order, some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Judge Lorteli succeeded Judge Zudan and Daala's hand-picked legal counsel, during Daala's attempts to bring the Jedi Order under control. One of the first things that Judge Lorteli did was authorize the warrant for the arrest of Tahiri Veila, who had been responsible for the killing of Gilad Pellaeon during the war. Judge Lorteli was known for her exquisite taste in furniture and style, and her offices were filled with state-of-the-art LevitaRest furniture and artwork from a variety of periods of galactic history. These offices were heavily scented with the fruity that Judge Lorteli preferred. In the courtroom, however, Judge Lorteli often appeared embarrassed by her own position, and her high-pitched voice served as a reminder that she lacked any real judicial power. At the arraignment hearing followed Veila's arrest, Judge Lorteli initially refused to acknowledge Veila's lawyer, Nawara Ven, and when Ven himself refused to reveal whether he was still be paid by the Jedi Order, Lorteli explained that she would not accept him as Veila's legal counsel. Lorteli went on to question Veila directly, ignoring Ven's objections to what was obviously a formality in determining Veila's guilt. Although Judge Lorteli refused to allow Ven to continue as Veila's legal councsel, she did sign a writ that allowed a group of Jedi Masters, including Corran Horan and his wife, Mirax, to visit the carbonite-frozen bodies of their children in a Galatic Alliance prison. (FJ3)

Lost Tribe, The
This was another term used to describe the members of The Tribe, those Sith Lords and their descendants who evolved on the planet Kesh. (FJ3)

Loub-paper
This was a form of paper that was developed by the human and Keshiri inhabitants of the planet Kesh. (FJ3)

Lovolol Cleaning Droid
This model of small, dome-shaped automaton was produced during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. Lovolol cleaning droids moved about on a small repulsorlift engine. (FJ3)

Lucky
This clone trooper cadet was one of many who were being trained to serve as clone troopers, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Known as something of a loner, Cadet Lucky was stationed aboard the cruiser Endurance, where he and other clones were given first-hand experience aboard a working ship during wartime. Lucky kept mainly to himself, although he was distinguished by his skills with the starship's weapons. Unknown to his fellow cadets, however, was the fact that Lucky was actually Boba Fett, the son of Jango Fett. Working with Aurra Sing, Fett had infiltrated the clone training program in an attempt to avenge the death of his father at the hands of Jedi Master Mace Windu. An attempt to kill Windu in his quarters backfired, and Aurra Sing ordered young Fett to destory the ship's reactor core. He was reluctant to kill innocent beings in his search for revenge, but Fett eventually agreed to destroy the reactor. (CWTV42)

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)

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)

Malastarian Council
This was the primary governing body of the Dugs who inhabited the planet Malastare, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (CWTV40)

Malevolence
This was the term used by the feral humanoids who inhabited Andeddu's Keep, during the decades that followed the Clone Wars, to describe the incredible power of the Dark Side nexus that existed in the Keep's deepest levels. 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)

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)

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)

Master
This was the highest rank among the Sith who evolved on the planet Kesh, following the crash-landing of the Omen, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Those Masters who were considered leaders might be chosen to serve as Lords. (FJ2)

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)

Meat Nest
This was a term used by xenobiologists to describe the unusual habits of certain species of carnivorous insects. These insects would capture and kill their prey, then return it to their hive or burrow, where the dead body of the prey was stored in the meat nest, a kind of communal feeding chamber, for later consumption. (SWDT)

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)

Meglumine
This planet was the site of a development laboratory that was constructed by the Imperial Biological Weapons Division, many years before the Battle of Yavin. It was here that the initial work on Imperial Bioweapons Project I71A was carried out, until further development became too dangerous for a ground-based facility. Development of the contagion was transferred to a secretly-deployed Star Destroyer, and the final product was to be tested on Khonji Seven. However, at least one transport container began to leak, allowing the contagion to get into the ship's atmosphere and infect the entire crew. The Star Destroyer was stranded in the Unknown Regions, until it was discovered by the Imperial Prison Barge Purge. (SWDT)

Merrik, Tal
This man served as the Senator from the planet Kalevala, during the height of the Clone Wars. He also served as an advisor to Duchess Satine Kryze of Kalevala, after she was named to lead the Council of Neutral Systems. This gave Senator Merrik close access to the Duchess, and he was among the handful of Senators who traveled with her to the planet Coruscant to argue for peace. 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.

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)

Miele Nova
This planet was known as the located of the PanGalactic Arts Conservatory. (SWDT)

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 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)

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)

Mirror of Remembrance
According to the Mind Walkers, the Mirror of Remembrance was located at the far end of the Lake of Apparitions. (FJ3)

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)

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)

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)

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)

Mookey
This was a slang term used during the years that followed the Swarm War to describe any being who was acting crazily or insanely. (FJ3)

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)

Morgue Rot
This was a term used to describe the deterioration of a dead body when it was left in a too-warm morgue. The skin turned mottled in color, as the body's fluids settled and putrified. (SWDT)

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)

Muk Muk Monkey
This was another name used to describe Pilf Mukmuk. (CWTV39)

Murk
This slang term was used by the youth of the galaxy, during the years that followed the Swarm War, to describe anything that was dreary or gloomy, either in appearance or perception, as in "That was pretty murk." (FJ3)

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)

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)

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)

Mynock Stew
This was a disgusting dish that was created from the flesh of mynocks. (FJ3)

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)

Namnats
This Kynachi man and his friend, Wevil, tried to harass Nuru Kungurama and the clone troopers who supported him after they crash-landed on the planet Kynachi, during the height of the Clone Wars. Nuru and the clones were posing as unemployed farmers, prompting Wevil and Namnats to confront them and warn them that farmers were not necessarily welcome in their town. (SM1)

Nargi-class Pursuit Frigate
The Nargi-class pursuit frigate was developed during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong War, to serve as point vessels as part of a planetary air traffic control fleet. These ships were equipped with state-of-the-art Slayn & Korpil ion drives that made them fast and maneuverable, and they were armed with enough firepower to prevent an illegal ship from causing trouble in the prescribed spacelanes. The Nargi-class vessel was distinguished by its needle-shaped hull and double-nose design. (FJ3)

Nath Goordi
The heirs to this planet's royal family were kidnapped during a succession dispute, and Seek Ryontarr was chosen by the Jedi Council to lead a rescue attempt. Unfortunately, Ryontarr vanished during the mission, and the heirs were never seen again. This set off a devastating war of succession on the planet. (FJ3)

Nath Goordian
This alien race was native to the planet Nath Goordi. (FJ3)

Needmo, Perre
This elderly Chevin hosted The Perre Needmo Newshour on the Coruscant HoloNet, during the years that followed the Swarm War. Like most members of his species, Perre Needmo's face was dominated by a large snout, although most beings tended to remember the tufts of silver hair that sprouted from the crown of his skull and his chin. The news show that Needmo hosted was quite popular following the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, primarily because a good portion of the broadcast focused on news that was actually good, and not the violence and other misanthropic events that tended to dominate other newscasts. Needmo aired one of the first stories that described the Galactic Alliance's arrest of Tahiri Veila, following the resignations of Melari Ruxon and Reeqo, in which he openly questioned how the resignations of many Jedi Knights might affect both the Jedi Order and the stability of the government that ws being run by Chief of State Natasi Daala. Needmo later covered the events that surrounded the Millennium Falcon's erratic departure from a Coruscant spaceport, when it appeared that Galactic City Air Traffic Control ships fired on the civilian vessel, raising several alarmed questions about the activities of the Galactic Alliance. (FJ3)

Newsvan
This was a generic term used to describe any form of repulsorlift vehicle that was modified to transport news and media technology into the field, most often in urban environments. The average newsvan had room for a driver, several reporters, and technicians, as well as holographic cameras, camera droids, and portable broadcasting facilities. (FJ3)

No-Nines
This was the nickname used by one of the clone troopers who accompanied Jedi Master Ring-Sol Ambase to the planet Kynachi, during the height of the Clone Wars, to investigate the appearance of KynachTech Industries circuitry aboard the Separatist warship Malevolence. When their ship arrived at Kynachi, it was ambushed by Separatist forces, and the crew was forced to abandon their cruiser. No-Nines was one of the clone troopers who got into an escape pod with Master Ambase, although the pod's location was lost in the chaos. Their pod crashed into the surface of Kynachi, and although the clones were largely unharmed, Master Ambase was knocked unconscious and had to be carrier to their rendezvous point. Unfortunately, Master Ambase and the clones were located by a Separatist patrol. The clones were taken to the prison facility deep within the KynachTech factory, and were later rescued by the members of the newly-named Breakout Squad. (SM1)

Noob
This slang verb came into use during the years following the Swarm War, and referred to the act of outwitting another being as if they were a newborn child. The other being often did not realized that they were being tricked. (FJ3)

This was a paralytic drug that was developed by Imperial scientists and doctors, during the height of the New Order. (SWDT)

Not-Cilghal
This was the name used by Jysella Horn to describe Jedi Master Cilghal, after Jysella fell ill with a strange affliction, a year or so after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Like her brother Valin, Jysella experienced a sudden feeling that everyone around her had been replaced by a doppleganger, and she lashed out at Cilghal in an attempt to defeat what she perceived was an imposter.

Like her brother Valin, Jysella experienced a sudden feeling that everyone around her had been replaced by a doppleganger, and she lashed out at Natua in an attempt to defeat what she perceived was an imposter. (FJ2)

Noua
This was the primary settlement found within the Noua Archipelago of islands, which were located on the planet Telerath. Its location in one of Telerath's crystal-clear oceans earned Noua the nickname "the Gem of Telerath". However, during the era of the Clone Wars, criminal gangs began asserting themselves in Noua, and soon had taken control of the settlement's underworld. (DT3)

Noua Archipelago
This island chain was located on the planet Telerath. (DT3)

Nutripaste
This thick paste was developed during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War to serve as a base for meals that were prepared by starship owners while traveling through space. Although it could be consumed in its raw state, nutripaste was often added to simple dishes in order to add vitamins, minerals, and other essential elements to the meals that were consumed on long flights through space. The use of nutripaste helped to ensure that travelers received proper nutrition while in space, where processed foods were often consumed in the place of properly-prepared meals. (FJ3)

Nysillin
This plant, which was native to the planet Felucia, was grown for its many medicial uses. (CWTV39)

Operation Caranak
Named for a obstinate water bird that was native to the Forest Moon of Endor, this was the tongue-in-cheek term used by Jagged Fel to describe one of the clandestine missions he undertook with Jaina Solo, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. The pair were forced to use such stealth tactics after their relationship became public knowledge, and reporters started to follow them everywhere. Outwardly, Operation Caranak was supposed to look like a dinner date between them, hoping to throw reporters off their trail when their rendezvous looked like nothing more than a meal. Jagged's role at dinner was played by Karn Valanti, while Jaina was portrayed by Lina Zev. Jaina and Jagged called ahead to make private dinner reservations at the Indigo Tower, where Valanti and Zev were already in position. Any reporters who followed the pair would be forced to wait outside their private dining room, allowing Jaina and Jag to slip out the back while Valanti and Zev had a romantic meal together. Any reporter who managed to sneak a recording device into the dining room merely caught a young couple having dinner, unaware that their actual targets were no longer in the restaurant. Thus, any reporters who happened to follow the couple were led on a wild caranak chase. (FJ2)

Oppressor
This was the name of Lord Angral's massive, block-shaped battle cruiser. During the months that followed the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, Lord Angral took the Oppressor to Dantooine. (TOP3)

Palem Graser Office Tower
This massive edifice was constructed a kilometer from the Galactic Justice Center, on the planet Coruscant, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. The Graser Tower, as it was commonly known, contained offices for various lobbying groups that worked with the Senators and other politicians who served in the Galactic Senate. However, Chief of State Natasi Daala had a secret prison facility established in the non-descript Galactic Alliance Storage building across the skylane, as part of a plan that called for the psychological deterrence of crime by hiding the prison in plain sight. The prison facility's location was meant to ensure that the lobbying organizations were going to be in serious trouble if they began working for the wrong beings. (FJ3)

PanGalactic Arts Conservatory
This prestigious art instruction center was located on Miele Nova, during the height of the New Order. It attracted the most talented artists in a wide variety of styles and techniques from across the galaxy. (SWDT)

Panil, Elo
This male Kaminoan was one of the many scientists and geneticists who worked for the Empire at the Research City facility on Kamino, during the height of the New Order. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, two groups of beings arrived on Kamino and began to disrupt Elo Panil's work. One group was made up of rebels led by Luke Skywalker, and the other group consisted of the mercenaries who were following Skywalker. Among the rebels in Skywalker's group were Han Solo and Chewbacca, who stumbled upon Elo Panil in his hidden research lab. Panil gave the two rebels a haughty laugh when they demanded that he come with them, explaining that he was too busy with his own research to leave it behind. Panil then revealed that the strange creature that was terrorizing Research City had been his creation, a creature with durasteel claws and a venomous sting that could either kill its prey or capture it and return the prey to its lair. Han and Chewbacca offered to take Elo Panil away from Research City, but the elderly Kaminoan refused to abandon his research. Elo Panil then called in Imperial reinforcements, hoping to eliminate the rebels and prevent further distractions to his work. The rebels remained on Kamino, and managed to rescue Skywalker and the mercenary named Div from a group of creatures that Panil had developed. This angered the Kaminoan, and he set out to kill the intruders with his own blaster. Div managed to fire his own weapon at Panil's position, causing a chunk of duracrete to strike Panil in the shoulder and drive him to the ground. The rebels then escaped from Research City, leaving Panil and his research in tatters. (RF4)

Paradise Dimension
This was the term used by the Mind Walkers to describe the state of perfection that they sought to find within the Force. By shedding their personal belongings and their physical bodies, the Mind Walkers were able to commune directly with the Force. When a Mind Walker realized that the physical world was nothing more than an illusion, they were able to take their Force presences and leave their bodies behind, at which point they could move within the Force toward a place where there was no pain and no suffering, where anger and fear did not exist. This was the "paradise dimension" of the Force, where an individual's presence could experience the pure and simple joy of simply being. It was believed that some fundamental change was made to the "paradise dimension" when Centerpoint Station was destroyed, causing Force-sensitive beings from across the galaxy to travel to the Maw in search of relief from some terrible longing. (FJ3)

Paramita, Rumi
This female Frenk was part of the group of bounty hunters who worked with Sugi to help defend a Felucian farm settlement from pirates, during the height of the Clone Wars. (CWTV39)

Parang
This ancient weapon was used by the descendants of the Sith who were stranded on the planet Kesh, following the crash-landing of the warship Omen. Like a shikkar, the parang was made of glass that was tempered and strengthed by the Dark Side of the Force. The origins of the parang was based on a heavy-bladed tool that was used to clear underbrush. Over time, Sith warriors discovered that a parang could be thrown at a target and then return to the thrower. (FJ2)

Parasite Droid
This was a generic term used to describe any miniature droid that was designed and deployed for espionage. As their name implied, parasite droids were designed to enter the body of a larger droid - often a cleaning droid or some other inconspicuous automaton - and sliced themselves into the other droid's systems. This allowed the parasite droid to draw power from the host droid, which it used to power its own systems, which often included tiny audio-video recording systems. (FJ3)

Path of Enlightenment
According to the Aing-Tii monks, the Path of Enlightenment was a way to discover more about oneself and one's place in the galaxy. However, the Path of Enlightenment ran through the chasm of Perfect Darkness, requiring an individual who was seeking knowledge to confront the evil that dwelled within them and overcome it, before they could discover the knowledge they sought. (FJ2)

Path of True Enlightenment
This was another name for the Path of Enlightenment, which was recognized by the Aing-Tii. (FJ3)

Pauling
This man was one of the few survivors of the Star Destroyer crew that was infected with the strange contagion that was developed as part of the Blackwing operation, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Pauling and Commander Gorrister rounded up a small group of crewmen who were immune to the contagion, and they managed to hide within the fuselage of a Sentinal-class shuttle while the rest of the crew was killed by the contagion and then re-animated. In order to survive, Gorrister and the others drew lots to see who would be cannibalized to ensure the continued survival of the others. They had been inside the shuttle fo ten weeks when they were discovered by Captain Jareth Sartoris of the prisone barge Purge. Sartoris refused to become their next meal, and killed Gorrister and threw several others to the re-animated corpses, hoping to use the distraction to break from the shuttle and deactivate the Star Destroyer's tractor beam. Pauling was still in the shuttle when Sartoris left, and managed to hang on long enough for another group of survivors - including Trig Longo, Han Solo, and Chewbacca - to locate them. Unfortunately, before the group was able to make its way to safety, a group of re-animated corpses attacked and killed Pauling, ripping his body to pieces in order to feed. (SWDT)

PBG
This acronym was used to describe a photonic beam generator. (SWSB)

Peace Park
This was the name given to the natural park that was established in the city of Sundari, on the planet Mandalore, by Duchess Satine Kryze, as part of the reforms she tried to enforce to change the perception that the Mandalorian people were violent savages. The park included a memorial shrine that was established to honor those Mandalorians who gave their lives in pursuit of peace. During the height of the Clone Wars, the Peace Park was bombed by terrorists who were believed to be connected to the Death Watch, after a hologram of the symbol of the Death Watch appeared in the area. (CWTV34)

Pedbridge
Similar to a pedwalk, a pedbridge used a moving conveyor to transport beings from one location to another. Pedbridges connected locations on either side of roadways and skylanes, providing a shortcut for beings who were moving between two distant locations. (FJ3)

Peeper
This was a slang term used by criminals and military agents to describe any surveillance technology or personnel who might be spying on them. (FJ3)

Perfect Darkness
According to the Aing-Tii monks, Perfect Darkness was a place through which any being must pass in order to attain true enlightment. The Aing-Tii believed that the Path of Enlightenment ran through the chasm of Perfect Darkness, requiring an individual who was seeking knowledge to confront the evil that dwelled within them and overcome it, before they could discover the knowledge they sought. This idea of a chasm of Perfect Darkness mirrored an ancient Tythonian belief that any being seeking enlightenment had to pass through a deep dark canyon that was surrounded by tall, crumbling cliffs. (FJ2, FJ3)

Perre Needmo Newshour, The
This was a popular evening holonewscast that aired on the public networks of the planet Coruscant, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. What drew viewers into this hour-long newscast was the fact that its host, an elderly Chevin named Perre Needmo, focused at least a third of its time on stories that were actually good news, and not repeated reports of violence and other misanthropic events. Han Solo watched this newscast whenever he had a free evening, although his viewings became more regular after his granddaughter, Allana, started watching. She had originally seen the show after awaking from a bad dream, and Han asked her to sit on a couch with him while he watched. Over time, watching The Perre Needmo Newshour became a family tradition, with Han and Allana sipping hot chocolate while catching up on the latest news. Allana later explained that, as the true Chume'da of the Hapes Consortium, she needed to know what was happening in the galaxy. (FJ3)

PharmCom
This pharmaceutical producer rose to prominence on the planet Coruscant, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. PharmCom established several orbital processing plants in orbit around the planet, where its research and development teams could take advantage of the zero-gravity environment. (FJ3)

Phibes
This man served as an engineer aboard the Imperial Prison Barge Purge, about a year before the Battle of Yavin. When the Purge experienced problems with its thrusters and was stranded in the Unknown Regions, Phibes was among the engineers who were assigned to a task force led by Jareth Sartoris to investigate the presence of an abandoned Star Destroyer in their vicinity. The hope was that drive components from the larger ship could be salvaged to help repair the Purge. Unfortunately, Phibes fell ill with the strange contagion that was encountered aboard the Star Destroyer, and he died within hours of returning to the Purge. (SWDT)

Photonic Spray
This form of aerosol mist was used to counteract the effects of one-way mirrfields and other security technologies that relied on the manipulation of light to provide security. Photonic sprays were used to interfere with the light that moved away from and around a being or object, creating a type of shadow in the security system that would signal its presence to someone on the other side. (FJ3)

Pillar Fungus
This unusual species of fungus was discovered on a remote, jungle-covered planetoid near the Maw cluster of black holes by Lady Olaris Rhea and her Sith crew, during their search for the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship. Pillar fungi, which were named for their huge size and shape, were one of the small number of plants encountered by the Sith that were not predatory or carnivorous. (FJ3)

Plasma Blast
This was a slang term used during the years following the end of the Second Galactic Civil War to describe any situation or series of events that created chaos, confusion, and pain for those involved. (FJ3)

Plastifiber
This strong, durable plastic was developed during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. The aligned fibers gave the material a high tensile strength, which made it perfect for use in manufacturing wrist restraints that could be looped over a being's hands and quickly cinched up. (FJ3)

Pocket
This was the name Wynn Dorvan used to describe his pet chitlik. Dorvan was allowed to bring the creature with him wherever he went, despite that fact that pets and other creatures were not allowed in government locations, because Chief of State Natasi Daala overlooked it due to Dorvan's own dedication to her office. (FJ2)

Polar Water
This bottled water was supposedly produced from the frozen ice that was found at the poles of the planet Coruscant. Made available during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War, polar water was especially expensive, since very little remained of Coruscant's polar icecaps. (FJ3)

Pollo, Fallon
This grizzled, old man was one of the handful of pilots who survived the tests of Imperial agent X-7, who gathered a group of pilots near Iope to test out their skills. X-7 was searching for Luke Skywalker, during the months that followed the Battle of Yavin, and hoped that he could take advantage of the galaxy's best pilots to help him hunt down and eliminate Skywalker. Pollo was a life-long pilot who hoped to take on a job that would earn him enough credits to retire in relative comfort and ease, and spent ten years in pursuit of this dream job. When he found the job and completed it, however, Pollo found that retirement was not for him. He liked flying too much, and being retired meant more boredom than he could handle, so he decided to take the offer from X-7. Pollo and three other pilots - Div, Clea Sook, and Grish B'reen - managed to survive X-7's tests, and were given the opportunity to hunt down Skywalker. Their first encounter with Skywalker took place over the planet Kamino, but Pollo's Preybird fighter was shot down during the ambush. He crashed into one of the structures that made up Research City, and barely survived the explosion of his ship. As it was, he suffered a deep cut to one of his legs, and he was forced to limp to safety. However, his arrival on Kamino had attracted the attention of the strange creature that lived beneath Research City, and the creature attacked and consumed Pollo before he could draw his weapon to defend himself. (RF4)

Pool of Knowledge
According to the Mind Walkers, the Pool of Knowledge was a place where a truly enlightened individual could discover "all that has passed, and all that is to come". However, the individual first had to successfully resist the temptation of the Font of Power, before they could discover the location of the Pool of Knowledge. Once a being had proven themselves strong enough to ignore the Font of Power, they were given the chance to bathe in the Pool of Knowledge. Just looking into the Pool of Knowledge could be a revelation, as the reflection that was shown to an individual showed their true self, as determined by the Force itself. Luke Skywalker visited the Poll of Knowledge, some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, on a self-imposed mission to follow in the path of Jacen Solo, and learn what might have made the former Jedi turn into Darth Caedus. Luke looked into the pool and saw a haggard man who seemed to have aged well beyond his years, but he refused to wade into the Pool's waters. Seek Ryontarr revealed that Jacen had also passed beyond the Font of Power and had refused to bathe in the Pool of Knowledge, although he did remain at the Pool for a long time, until he had seen what he came to see. Like the Font of Power, the Pool of Knowledge was a physical manifestation of the environment envisioned by the Force presence known as Abeloth. For those individuals who chose to move beyond the Pool of Knowledge, Abeloth awaited them at the Throne of Balance. (FJ3)

Potentium Heretics
This was a term used to describe those former Jedi Knights and other Force-sensitive individuals who adopted the belief of the Potentium. (FJ3)

Presidential, The
This was the simple name given to the primary luxury suite found at the Corusca on Fellowship hotel, which rose to prominence on the planet Coruscant during the years that followed the Swarm War. (FJ3)

Probe
This floating surveillance droid was owned by Caled Galfridian, who often used the droid to keep a watchful eye on his rebellious son, Finn. (INV1)

Project Instinction
This was the codename used by Passel Argente and other Separatist leaders to describe the daring plan to devastate or capture the agricultural world of Ukio. The operation had two distinct phases, depending on the reaction of the Ukian people. The first phase involved deploying modified seismic tanks to spread a layer of ionized debris in the planet's atmosphere, where is settled onto the world's planetary shield. This debris was made from photoreceptive materials that were attracted to light, ensuring that the greatest concentration of debris would be wherever natural sunlight hit the planet. This would create an artificial eclipse that would destroy the planet's crops, unless the Ukians dropped their planetary shield, which would allow the Separatists to land. If the Ukians found a way to disperse the debris, or to further goad the Ukians into agreeing to Separatist demands, Project Instinction's second phase involved the use of ground-based equipment that emitted aggravating noise at a subsonic level that only the creatures of Ukio could detect. This noise caused all manner of creatures to react wildly, especially the gigauns, which shifted from their normal migratory patterns. This shift in movement caused the gigauns to trample through planted fields, destroying any crops that were growing there. (CWOC2)

Promenade, The
This was the name of the broad avenue that ran in front of the re-constructed Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. (FJ2)

Prophet, The
This was the Basic translation of the term used to describe the Aing-Tii who emerged among his people during the years leading up to the Second Galactic Civil War. The Prophet was something of an enigma, because the Aing-Tii believed that there was no pre-determined manner in which life evolved. Instead, the average Aing-Tii believed that events flowed together gently, guiding individuals to certain places at certain times. The Prophet, however, claimed to be able to see into the Future and discern when certain events would come to pass. Although many things that were described by the Prophet did come to pass as he had explained, the other Aing-Tii refused to accept him as a being who could read the future. Their mistrust only heightened when the Prophet declared that Those Who Dwell Beyond the Veil would present themselves to the Aing-Tii within his lifetime. This mistrust turned to fear in some individuals when the Prophet died some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, and there had been no sign of Those Who Dwell Beyond the Veil. The death of the Prophet set off a kind of civil strife among the Aing-Tii, forcing individuals to take sides on their beliefs and their allegiances. (FJ2)

Protectors, The
According to Keshiri legends, the Protectors were beings who would return to the planet Kesh whenever it faced its direst needs. These same legends speak of the Destructors, who were counterparts to the Protectors. These Destructors periodically descended from the heavens to wipe out the civilization of an inhabited world, in order to reduce all beings to a primitive state. The Protectors defended the Keshiri from the predations of the Destructors, ensuring that their civilization would continue. Some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, the Sith warship Omen crash-landed on Kesh, and the Keshiri came to view the powerful humans as the Protectors who would save them from harm. Investigations by the descendants of the human Sith that crash-landed on Kesh revealed that Kesh had experienced widespread destruction at least once in its history, lending some credibility to the myths of the Destructors. The original Sith who landed on Kesh chose to use the myth of the Protectors as a way to maintain control over the native Keshiri, although they eventually came to accept the fact that it was actually their destiny as the defenders of Kesh. (FJ2, FJ3)

PsiCor
This small corporation produced surveillance systems for local and planetary governments, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. (FJ3)

Purs, Lolo
A female Rodian, Senator Purs was part of the group of Senators that opposed the Galactic Republic's continued involvement in the Clone Wars, especially when a rival faction of Senators began pushing for increased production of clone troopers. Senator Purs, along with Padme' Amidala and Bail Organa, argued that producing more clone troopers would only extend the war, not end it sooner. After a spirited debate in the Senate, the voting on the bill to produce more clones was postponed, and the group met later for a drink to celebrate this minor victory. Senator Purs only became more adamant in her stance when Onaconda Farr's murder was followed by the killing of Mee Deechi, and she refused to sit still while Lieutenant Tan Divo carried out his investigation. Senator Purs later claimed to have been attacked by Senator Halle Burtoni, an event that coincided with the news that a Kaminoan chemical had been found in Senator Farr's bloodstream. The chemical had been engineered to attack only Rodians, lending a measure of credibility to Purs' claims. However, Padme' Amidala confronted Senator Purs with the issue of why the chemical had not affected her. Padme' then remembered that Senator Purs was the only member of their group who did not partake of the drinks that killed Senator Farr. Realizing that she was in trouble, Purs grabbed Padme' and tried to use her as a shield to make an escape, but Padme' merely pushed away her blaster and punched Purs in the jaw, knocking her unconscious. Senator Purs later explained that her actions had been meant as revenge against Onaconda Farr, stating that Farr had dragged Rodia into the Clone Wars when he had sided with the Separatists. (CWTV37)

PV-187
This was a state-of-the-art holographic display system that was produced during the years that followed the Swarm War. The PV-187 provided viewers with incredibly life-like displays of holovids and other three-dimensional entertainment and media. (FJ2)

Quarantine Bubble
This was a generic term used to describe any self-contained medical unit that could be used to house a victim who had a dangerous or unknown disease or condition. The infected being was placed inside the quarantine bubble, where their vital signs could be monitored by doctors and nurses, without the risk of further infection. Specialized ports in the quarantine bubble allowed doctors to ensure the patient received proper sustenance, and provided access for gaining tissue and fluid samples for further analysis. (SWDT)

Quatermass
This man served as an engineer aboard the Imperial Prison Barge Purge, about a year before the Battle of Yavin. When the Purge experienced problems with its thrusters and was stranded in the Unknown Regions, Quatermass was among the engineers who were assigned to a task force led by Jareth Sartoris to investigate the presence of an abandoned Star Destroyer in their vicinity. The hope was that drive components from the larger ship could be salvaged to help repair the Purge. Unfortunately, Quatermass fell ill with the strange contagion that was encountered aboard the Star Destroyer, and he died within hours of returning to the Purge. (SWDT)

Quick End
Distinguished by its double-nose design, this Nargi-class pursuit frigate was one of the command ships that made up the Galactic City Air Traffic Control fleet, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. When Han Solo flew the Millennium Falcon as a decoy during a mission to transport ailing Jedi Knights to Shedu Maad, the Quick End was scrambled to intercept the freighter. Accompanying the Quick End was the Fast Death and the ChaseX fighters of Bolt Squadron, but the combined unit was unable to stop Solo from moving through Coruscant airspace. The unit was forced to react when a group of StealthX fighters from the Jedi Order moved into their vicinity, prompting a brief volley of fire from the ChaseX fighters of Bolt Squadron. Solo then made it appear as if the Millennium Falcon had been hit by one of the ChaseX fighters, setting off a charge in a modified escape pod bay to make it appear as if the hull had been breached. Solo then careened toward the Quick End at top speed, with Solo claiming that he was out of control. The commander of the Quick End fell for the ruse, and moved the frigate out of the path of the Millennium Falcon while arranging for emergency services. Solo then revealed that he had no need of emergency help, and that he was simply out joyriding with his adopted daughter, Amelia. The Quick End's commander realized what had happened, and decided that it was better to let Solo go free. When Solo asked for the commander's name, he politely declined, stating that he and Solo would meet again soon. (FJ3)

Quick-code
This was a comlink technology that was developed during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. Quick-codes allowed individuals to encode on their comlnks the communications frequencies of the beings they communicated with the most, so that they could quickly open a link to another individual. (FJ3)

R-20
This was a form of scatterblaster that was produced by BlasTech, during the years that followed the Swarm War. (FJ3)

R4-P44
This black-domed astromech droid was assigned to Jedi Master Kit Fisto's starfighter, during the height of the Clone Wars. (SWI115)

Ramoa
This forested planet was the homeworld of the Ramoan race. The planet's forests were once covered with low-lying clouds that shrouded the trees with an ever-present fine mist. (FJ3)

Ramoan
This was the native language of the Ramoan people. To most humanoids, the Ramoan language was rough and forceful, and it was described by some as a verbal way to remove another being's head. (FJ2)

Recording Rod
This was another name for a recorder rod. (FJ3)

Red Five
This was the callsign used by Chewbacca, during a mission to Kamino with Luke Skywalker, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The group was attacked when they reached Kamino by an unknown Firespray vessel, which was piloted by Div, and Chewbacca was forced to make an emergency landing on the watery surface of the planet. (RF4)

Red Four
This was the callsign used by Zev Senesca, during a mission to Kamino with Luke Skywalker, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The group was attacked when they reached Kamino by an unknown Firespray vessel, which was piloted by Div, forcing Zev and Wedge Antilles to make an escape in order to alert the Alliance of the attack, and send out a rescue mission for the others. (RF4)

Red Three
This was the callsign used by Wedge Antilles, during a mission to Kamino with Luke Skywalker, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The group was attacked when they reached Kamino by an unknown Firespray vessel, which was piloted by Div, forcing Wedge and Zev Senesca to make an escape in order to alert the Alliance of the attack, and send out a rescue mission for the others. (RF4)

Red Two
This was the callsign used by Han Solo, during a mission to Kamino with Luke Skywalker, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Han had some misgivings about the mission, including the fact that he had to leave the Millennium Falcon behind. He also didn't like the fact that Luke was placed in charge of the mission by Commander Arhul Narra. The group was attacked when they reached Kamino by an unknown Firespray vessel, which was piloted by Div, and Han was forced to make an emergency landing on the watery surface of the planet. (RF4)

Redeye
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, Redeye and Mixer were attacked and killed by an assassin droid. The droid then used Redeye's lifeless body like a puppet in an attempt to disguise itself when Anakin Skywalker arrived in the cargo hold in search of the two clone troopers. (CWTV35)

Reeqo
This young male Jenet was one of the many apprentices who were training to become Jedi Knights at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the years that followed the Second Galactic Civil War. A good friend of Melari Ruxon, Reeqo did his best to reassure her after she tranquilized Bazel Warv, when the Ramoan threatened to cause violence in public. Han Solo ahd already shot a tranquilizer dart into Bazel's body, but the Ramoan contnued to struggle, prompting Ruxon to shot him with another dart. Bazel went into convulsions, but Leia Solo explained that the small pain he might be feeling was an acceptable trade against the possibility of being encased in carbonite. These events took a heavy toll on Melari's mind, and she and Reeqo decided that they did not want to become Jedi Knights any longer. They both folded their robes into neat piles, placed their lightsabers atop their robes, and simply walked out of the Jedi Temple. Although their absence prompted Kenth Hamner to fear that they were experiencing the same Force psychosis that had overcome Bazel, Cilghal pointed out that neither Melari nor Reeqo had stayed at Shelter base during the Yuuzhan Vong War, and so they had not been exposed to the same environment as Bazel and the other Jedi who were having trouble. As they left the Jedi Temple behind, both Reeqo and Melari were approached by Galactic Alliance Security forces as they were leaving. They were set free when they explained that they no longer wanted to be part of an organization that was breaking the laws of the government, although they later told Javis Tyrr the real reason they left the Order was because they wer unhappy with the way Chief of State Natasi Daala was taking control of the Jedi. (FJ3)

Relics, The
This was the Basic translation of the term used by the Aing-Tii to describe the various objects that they had collected during their quest to locate Those Who Dwell Beyond the Veil. Because these objects were supposedly touched by the mysterious beings, the Aing-Tii were forbidden to actually touch the Relics, and had to employ other beings to locate them and bring them to the Aing-Tii. The collection of artifacts was maintained in a creche that was known as the Embrace, which could only be entered by those beings who were deemed worthy by the Aing-Tii. Some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, were allowed to enter the Embrace and research the Relics. The Aing-Tii hoped that Luke would be able to discern something about Those Who Dwell Beyond the Veil, following the civil unrest that had been started by the Prophet. Unfortunately, after several days of touching and reading and investigating, Luke and Ben were forced to admit that they received no guidance or direction from the Relics. They found no proof of the existence of Thosw Who Dwell Beyond the Veil, and Luke had to explain that he believed the Aing-Tii would have to decide their own destiny. Although the Aing-Tii continued to debate the existence of Those Who Dwell Beyond the Veil, they were united in the common goal of choosing what was right and what was wrong for their people. (FJ2)

Republic Light Cruiser
This was a model of fast-moving, maneuverable cruisers that was produced for the naval forces of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. The basic shape of the Republic Light Cruiser mirrored that of the Acclamator-class vessel, although on a much smaller scale. The main fuselage was shaped like an elongated diamond, with the three sublight engines attached at the rear of the ship. (CWTV31)

Republic Ministry of Intelligence
This branch of the Galactic Republic's government was charged with collecting and interpretting information about any being or group that was a potential threat to the safety of the Republic. The Ministry of Intelligence was also charged with monitoring various groups that were believed to be involved in corporate or political espionage and sabotage, so that any threats could be dealt with in a swift manner. During the era of the Clone Wars, the ethics of the Ministry of Intelligence were called into question by many beings both inside and outside the Galactic Senate. (CWTV36)

Research City
This was the name given to the Imperial outpost established on the planet Kamino, after the Galactic Empire assumed control of the cloning operations on the planet. Where other Kaminoan cities, such as Tipoca City, were white in color and pristine, Research City was a grimy collection structures that were connected by an incomplete network of walkways and tubes. Although it incorporated several architectural elements of other Kaminoan locations, Research City had the appearance of being built quickly. Most of the research that went on in the city centered on the development of a genetically-altered form of life that could either attack or collect enemy forces using its maw. Kaminoan scientists were forced to work with Imperial scientists to create the strange beast, which had a tooth-filled mouth that was as wide as its body. The immense beast moved about with the help of six tentacles, giving it equal maneuverability on land and in the water. Each tentacle ended with a sharp claw that could be retracted into a sheath, and the combination of tentacles and claws allowed the creature capture its targetted prey and draw the prey into its mouth. Depending on the target, the creature could either consume its prey or store it inside a special chamber. This allowed the creature to kill or frighten away any non-essential targets, yet safely transport a specific target to an Imperial location. (RF4)

Retk, Wruq
This hulking, male Yaka served as a Colonel in the Galactic Alliance Security force, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Colonel Retk was stationed at the Galactic Alliance Storage facility were Valin and Jysell Horn were incarcerated, after they were captured following episodes in which both Jedi became violent in public. The Horns were encased in carbonite in order to ensure that they caused no further harm, and were hidden in the storage center to prevent the Jedi Order from locating them. However, the Jedi managed to obtain a legal order that gave them permission to visit the Horns, and Colonel Retk was forced to deal with their presence in the facility. He grew angry when the Jedi brought reporters with them, which allowed the reporters to see first-hand that the Horns were being maintained like trophies at the executive level of the facility, rather than with the rest of the prisoners. The reporters began asking questions, causing trouble for Retk and his team. Rather than bow to the Jedi, however, Retk chose to verbally abuse the Jedi, hoping to provoke a response that would portray the Jedi in an unfavorable light. This tactic failed to elicit a response, prompting Retk to boast that the Horn siblings were being maintained on the executive level so that he could tend to their maintenance personally. Mirax Horn, who had accompanied the Jedi to the facility, then punched Retk in the jaw, snapping his head back and knocking him unconscious with one blow. (FJ3)

Retkin
This man served as a Major in the Imperial armed forces, during the years that followed the Battle of Endor. Major Retkin was stationed aboard the Star Destroyer Judicator, and he was regarded as one of the ship's best interrogators. It was Retkin who questioned Alex Winger, after she joined the New Republic and became a starfighter pilot. Her starfighter had been captured in space, and she was taken to a prison center that had been constructed in the bombed city of Sreina, on Janara III. Retkin used videos of similar interrogations performed on Alex's partner, Dair Haslip, hoping to elicit an emotional response from her. He even tried to use the health of her adopted father, Tork Winger, against her, but Alex remained resolute. However, when he explained that Tork had refused to allow Alex's death, Retkin was unprepared for Alex's reaction. She drew upon the Force and threw a chair at Captain Brandei, then turned her anger on Retkin. She took up another chair and swung it at his head, and Retkin was knocked unconscious. This allowed Alex the chance to escape, and she was soon reunited with Dair, who was posing as a stormtrooper in the corps that were stationed on Janara III. (TFE)

Return, The
This was the term used by the descendants of the Sith Lords who crash-landed on the planet Kesh, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, to describe their eventual return to power in the galaxy. Because their ship, the Omen, was badly damaged during the crash, the Sith were stranded on the planet with no chance of leaving on their own. The native Keshiri had no space-faring technology, and Kesh had no contact with the rest of the galaxy. Calling themselves the Tribe, these Sith persevered, and vowed to one day Return to the galaxy and join their fellow Sith. However, during the year that followed the Second Galactic Civil War, the members of the Tribe learned from the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship that the Sith had been all but eliminated from the galaxy. This gave even more meaning to the Return, since the Tribe seemed to be the only true heirs to the ancient Sith Empire. (FJ3)

Return, The
According to the mythology of the Keshiri, the Return marked the era when the Destructors would return to the planet Kesh and render it asunder. When the Destructors did return, the Keshiri believed that they would be defended by beings known as the Protectors, who would protect them from harm and drive off the Destructors. (FJ2)

Reverse-S
This was a maneuvering tactic used by starfighter pilots to avoid being targetted by an enemy craft. The reverse-S involved two distinct actions, the first of which was the deployment of countermeasures that temporarily blinded the enemy's targeting computer. The pilot could then flip their fighter upside-down in a tight loop that took the fighter over and behind the enemy ship, giving the pilot the opportunity to drop into the enemy's blind spot. This gave the pilot a brief advantage, where there was just a few seconds in which to fire on the enemy ship. (RF4)

Rhea, Olaris
This woman was one of the most powerful members of The Tribe, the Sith who evolved on the planet Kesh. Distinguished by her blond hair and piercing blue eyes, Lady Rhea was a noted instructor and leader, and sat on the Sith Circle of Lords during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Lady Rhea took Vestara Khai as an Apprentice during the years following the Second Galactic Civil War, after the girl was chosen by the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship. Lady Rhea chose Vestara when it became apparent that Ship's appearance meant that the Sith might find a way to escape from Kesh and begin expanding their influence on the rest of the galaxy. Vestara became an excellent student and Apprentice, and as the Sith began to launch forays into the galaxy, Lady Rhea was placed in command of the converted cruiser known as the Eternal Crusader. During the return from a successful mission that added two more vessels to the growing fleet of ships commanded by the Tribe, Lady Rhea and Vestara both experienced a powerful surge in the Force, although the energy hit Lady Rhea quite hard. She reeled under its strength, and was forced to slump into her command chair in order to remain conscious. Vestara then sensed a connection to Ship, and the meditation sphere provided her with the name Skywalker.

Although Grand Lord Darish Vol declared that Lady Rhea and the crew of the Eternal Crusader would be sent to confront Skywalker, the sudden disappearance of Ship put a halt to those plans. Instead, Lady Rhea and her crew were dispatched to track down Ship, a mission that took them to the edge of a strange arrangement of black holes known as the Maw. Her chief rival, Lord Yuvar Xal, was named to serve as her executive officer, a move that showed Grand Lord Vol would not accept failure from either of them. Lady Rhea assumed command without voicing her concerns, and even tried to use humor to eliminate some of the fear and concern that was emanating from the crew. The crew tracked Ship to a remote, jungle-covered planetoid near the Maw, and Lady Rhea put together a strike team to recover it. The team was forced to make its way through carnivorous trees that thinned their numbers, but Lady Rhea demanded that they continue onward. Lord Xal was distrustful of Lady Rhea's motives on the mission, and even questioned the fact that the Sith under his command were not part of the advanced scouting missions. Lady Rhea explained that she was not going to worry about personal gains while trying to recapture Ship, and that she would gladly give credit where credit was due, so long as the strike team was ultimately successful in bringing Ship back to Kesh.

Their search of the planetoid revealed the existence of the Force presence known as Abeloth, but Lady Rhea wasted no time in explaining who she was and what the Sith were doing there. Abeloth seemed confused as to why Ship was on the planetoid, but did nothing to stop the Sith from tracking it. After establishing Ship's location, Lady Rhea set off to find it, but was caught in a whirlpool that formed beneath her when she tried to cross a wide river. The whirlpool had been created by siphon reeds, which used whirlpools to bring their prey within the grasp of their stalks. Vestara Khai managed to rescue Lady Rhea, but began to doubt that her Master's full concentration was on the mission. When Abeloth began to promise Lady Rhea great power when they returned to Kesh, Vestara had had enough. Drawing her parang, Vestara slapped Lady Rhea hard across the face, then demanded to know the answers to three questions before her Master could react. First, Vestara asked about the loss of every shuttle the Sith had brought with them aboard the Eternal Crusader, during the search for Ship. Next, she asked about the fact that every member of the ship's crew was now on the planetoid's surface, with no way to return. Lastly, Vestara asked Lady Rhea if, had she been in her right mind, she would have allowed their situation to become as bad as it was. Lady Rhea was forced to admit that Vestara was correct, but she warned her Apprentice not to overstep her bounds in the future.

Together, Lady Rhea and Vestara planned to have Ship shuttle the Sith back to the Eternal Crusader, then set off to locate and kill the Skywalkers. Although Lord Yuvar Xal endorsed Lady Rhea's plans, she remained unconvinced of his sincerity. Thus, when they located the Skywalkers on Sinkhole Station, Lady Rhea armed Xal and his Apprentice, Ahri Raas, with special grenades that would not explode. This ensured that, should Xal or Raas try to kill her, Lady Rhea would be guaranteed to make an escape. These preparations proved fortuitous when Xal launched his own plans to eliminate his rivals and capture the Skywalkers for himself. However, Vestara managed to kill Lord Xal, and Ahri Raas was slain by a lightsaber that cut him in half along the length of his spine. Vestara was briefly captured by Luke Skywalker, but managed to get free and rejoin Lady Rhea, and together they confronted the Jedi Grand Master. A flash of light from a firefight between Ben Skywalker, aboard the Jade Shadow, and Ship distracted Lady Rhea, which gave Luke the chance to decapitate Lady Rhea with his lightsaber. (FJ2, FJ3)

Righteous, The
This Old Republic cruiser was part of the task force that was dispatched to deliver supplies to, and rescue Senator Bail Organa from, the planet Christophsis, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Republic's ships found that the planet had been blockaded by Separatist Admiral Trench, who ordered his ships to open fire on the Republic vessels. The Righteous and the frigate Swift Return were both shot down by Trench's forces, before the Republic's ships could retreat and form a new plan of action. (CWTV38)

Right-of-way Routine
This was a specialized form of programming that was installed on virtually any droid that operated in a public place. This programming ensured that the droid did not get in the way of normal foot traffic, ensuring that the automaton did not impede the progress of the organic beings around it. This programming was especially needed on maintenance an cleaning droids that operated during normal business hours. (FJ3)

Robal
This species of leafy, green vegetable was a favorite food of the Ramoan people. (FJ3)

Robb, Kin
This woman was a noted Senator who was part of the Council of Neutral Systems, during the height of the Clone Wars. (CWTV35)

Rod
This clone trooper was one of the many who were deployed under Commander Ponds and Jedi Master Mace Windu during the Battle of Malastare, at the height of the Clone Wars. Distinguished by the images of winged, reptilian creatures painted on his helmet, Rod was one of the Y-Wing gunners who participated in the battle, and he and his pilot, Goji, were instrumental in the delivery of the first electro-proton bomb. (CWTV40)

Ronto-Rama Farms
This farm was established on the planet Tatooine by Tevar Shan, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. Ronto-Rama Farms prided itself on producing the highest-quality rontos for sale as beasts of burden. (FJ2)

Rosii
This skinny Rodian worked for the Galactic Alliance Storage corporation, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Rosii and his partner, Weeze, were on duty when Jaina Solo arrived at the secret prison facility they were guarding, on a mission to see Valin and Jysella Horn. (FJ3)

Ruk
This was a slang term used to describe any being who was caught in a situation that was not their fault, but was potentially harmful or dangerous. (FJ3)

Rutolu
This species of shrub was grown into specific shapes to create hedges and barriers. The purple leaves of the rutolu bush were long and slender, resembling a dagger in their shape. (FJ3)

Ruxon, Melari
This young Duros female was one of the many apprentices who were training to become Jedi Knights at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the years that followed the Second Galactic Civil War. When Han Solo was forced to tranquilize Bazel Warv in order to prevent the Ramoan from causing harm to the public, Ruxon was close behind, and Han turned over his dart shooter to her in order to help get the Ramoan to safety. When Ruxon believed that Bazel was trying to fight back, she shot him with another dart, but the increase in the amount of tranquilizers in his blood caused Bazel's body to convulse even worse. Known as simply Mel to her fellow students, Ruxon felt horrible for putting Bazel through the pain, but Leia Solo quickly pointed out that a little pain was a good trade against the possibility of being frozen in carbonite. Melari later learned that the tranquilizer that was used, somatoll, affected the Ramoan body in different ways, and that the struggle Bazel appeared to put up was actually the initial onset of the convulsions he was experiencing. These events took a heavy toll on Melari's mind, and she and her friend, Reeqo, decided that they did not want to become Jedi Knights any longer. They both folded their robes into neat piles, placed their lightsabers atop their robes, and simply walked out of the Jedi Temple. Although their absence prompted Kenth Hamner to fear that they were experiencing the same Force psychosis that had overcome Bazel, Cilghal pointed out that neither Melari nor Reeqo had stayed at Shelter base during the Yuuzhan Vong War, and so they had not been exposed to the same environment as Bazel and the other Jedi who were having trouble. As they left the Jedi Temple behind, both Melari and Reeqo were approached by Galactic Alliance Security forces as they were leaving. They were set free when they explained that they no longer wanted to be part of an organization that was breaking the laws of the government, although they later told Javis Tyrr the real reason they left the Order was because they wer unhappy with the way Chief of State Natasi Daala was taking control of the Jedi. (FJ3)

Ryborean Gax
This was an incredibly expensive liquor that was favored by many dignitaries of the Imperial Remnant, during the years that followed the Second Galactic Civil War. It was believed that a single glass of this liquor would have cost the average being a month's wages or more. (FJ3)

Ryontarr, Seek
This Gotal was once a Jedi Knight, and was known to have been assigned to a mission to rescue the Nath Goordian heirs. Unfortunately, Ryontarr went missing during the mission, and the heirs were never returned to their homeworld, sparking a war of succession. Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, encountered Ryontarr at Sinkhole Station, a strange, derelict space station hidden within the Maw cluster of black holes, more than two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, but they were confused when they first encountered him. Ryontarr was reciting what seemed to be the Jedi Code, although he had twisted the words to say, "There is no life, there is only the Force." Luke tried to correct him, and Ryontarr revealed his identity. Luke questioned the being, since he had believed that Ryontarr had vanished. Ryontarr claimed to have rescued the Nath Goordian heirs from a habitat near the station, and when pressed about it, explained to Luke that there were many forms of rescue. While Ben was trying to treat an injury to the body of Qwallo Mode, the Duros awoke from his mind walking, and began to explain what had befallen him. When Luke questioned the reason that the Duros fired a missile at the Jade Shadow as the Skywalkers penetrated the Maw, Ryontarr explained that they were trying to remove some of the material possessions that were binding the Skywalkers to the "dream world" of real life.

Ryontarr and the others at the station referred to themselves as Mind Walkers, because of their belief that the only real world was found within their minds when they were connected to the Force. Ryontarr and the others agreed to show Luke how to go mind walking, in an attempt to show him the truth about the galaxy and the Force. Along with a Givin named Feryl, Ryontarr took Luke's mind to the Font of Power, then the Pool of Knowledge, before showing Luke the Throne of Balance. At each place, when Luke successfully passed the necessary tests, Ryontarr would reveal a little more about Jacen Solo's time at Sinkhole Station. He explained that Jacen had not drunk from the Font of Power, nor had he bathed in the Pool of Knowledge. However, Ryontarr explained that Jacen had seen something terrible when he looked at his reflection in the Pool, and that Jacen had seen a dark man ascending the Throne of Balance. Jacen chose to leave Sinkhole Station at that point, Ryontarr related, in order to do whatever he could to change what he had seen in the Pool of Knowledge. The exact amount of time that they were mind walking took several weeks, and Ben Skywalker tended to their physical bodies while they were gone. However, the physical bodies of both Feryl and Ryontarr expired while they were mind walking, leaving their minds still walking in the Force with Luke, who still had questions to ask them. (FJ3)

S-9
This was a series of cleaning and maintenance droids that was produced during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. (FJ3)

Saavis, Yaqeel

Saltern
This man was one of the many corrections officers who served under Captain Jareth Sartoris aboard the prson barge Purge, about a year before the Battle of Yavin. It was Saltern to was sent to retrieve Sartoris from his quarters, after he returned from a mission to obtain replacement parts from a derelict Star Destroyer that the crew discovered in the Unknown Regions. (SWDT)

Sanhedrim
This was the Aing-Tii word for "pilgrim" or "monk". (FJ2)

Sartoris, Gilles
This man was a small-time thief who was left to raise his son, Jareth, by himself, during the early years of the New Order. A death stick addict, Gilles was prone to violent outbursts, and often beat Jareth whenever the boy failed to live up to whatever expectations Gilles put on him on any particular day. Although Gilles stopped before any real harm was done to his son, he was often forced to break off his abuse when he feared that Jareth had been killed. This pattern of abuse continued until Jareth was sixteen, and Gilles came back to their simple hovel with a torque-bludgeon in his hands. Gilles tried to beat his son with the tool, but Jareth surprised him by wrenching the tool out of his hands and turning on him. Jareth used the makeshift weapon to smash in his father's skull, killing Gilles in a moment of rage. Jareth later dumped his father's body in an alleyway, before setting off on his own to enlist in the Imperial armed forces. (SWDT)

Sartoris, Jareth
This man served as a Captain in the Imperial armed forces, and was in command of the corrections officers who served aboard the Imperial Prison Barge Purge, more than a year before the Battle of Yavin. As a youth, Sartoris lived with his abusive father, Gilles, in a small hovel, and his father often physically and verbally abused him. When he was sixteen, Sartoris finally stood up to his father when the man came at him with a torque-bludgeon. He took the makeshift weapon from his father and used it to beat his father's skull to a pulp. Sartoris dropped the body in an alley and, lying about his age, enlisted in the Empire's armed forces. He spent many years building his career, and never started a family of his own. During the ship's transit to Detention Moon Gradient Seven, Sartoris was implicated in the death of one a prisoner, Von Longo. Doctor Zahara Cody blamed him for the prisoner's death, although Sartoris refused to acknowledge the accusation. When the ship experienced problems with its primary thrusters and was stranded in the Unknown Regions, Captain Sartoris and his chief security officers, Vesek and Austin, were called into a meeting with Warden Kloth. Kloth revealed that their situation was not hopeless, because the ship's crew had discovered an abandoned Star Destroyer in their vicinity. Athough repairing the Purge's drives was important, Sartoris questioned why the Empire had abandoned the ship in the first place. Kloth refused to be deflected on the issue, and stated that Sartoris needed to consider his participation on the mission as a show of his good faith, in light of the stories surrounding his involvement in Von Longo's death.

Once aboard the Star Destroyer, Sartoris split his crew into two teams, in order to acquire as many replacement parts as possible in the shortest amount of time. Several members of the crew began to experience hacking coughs and vomiting upon entering the Star Destroyer, prompting Sartoris to step up the pace of their operation, so that they could return as quickly as possible. Once back on the Purge, Sartoris sent the sick men to the infirmary, then locked himself in his quarters until he was ordered to report to the infirmary under armed escort. Once under the care of Doctor Cody, Sartoris was placed in a quarantine bubble, although he showed none of the signs that characterized the strange illness. As the strange infection swept through the ship, Sartoris accused Dr. Cody of being powerless to stop it, even though he refused to explain to her what had happened aboard the Star Destroyer. Knowing that things aboard the Purge were deteriorating fast, Sartoris made his own plans to abandon the ship, remaining with ICO Vesek in order to convince the man to provide him with the launch codes for the ship's escape pods. When Vesek was unable to provide the codes, Sartoris pinched his nose closed, hoping to cause Vesek to regain lucidity. Unfortunately, Vesek suffocated because of Sartoris' actions, an event that Sartoris rationalized by thinking that Vesek would soon be dead anyway. He then stole Vesek's identification and code card, before making his way to the escape pods. On the way, he stopped by the office Warden Kloth, who had also begun to exhibit the symptoms of the infection. Rather than risk further infection, Sartoris drew his blaster and shot Kloth in the head, killing the man instantly.

As Sartoris reached the escape pods, he bumped into Trig and Kale Longo, and gave them a look of disdain before opening the nearest pod and sealing himself in. However, the pod did not go far from the Purge, because the Star Destroyer from which they had salvaged parts had somehow locked onto the barge with a tractor beam. The pod was also caught in the beam, and was dragged into the larger ship's hangar bay. Sartoris found that the Star Destroyer's crew had also been infected with the strange contagion, and tried to hide from them in the cockpit of an abandoned X-Wing. Realizing that he was virtually defenseless, he decided to leave the X-Wing and hide inside a larger Sentinel-class shuttle, where he discovered Commander Gorrister and a small group of survivors. Unfortunately, these survivors overwhelmed him, injecting Sartoris with Norbutal in an attempt to render him unconscious and cannibalize his body. Sartoris fought the drug's effects, and a surge of adrenaline allowed him to kill Gorrister and fight his way to the ship's hatch. He then dragged other survivors out of the shuttle and threw them to the corpses that had gathered around the shuttle, hoping to clear a path for him to leave the shuttle and shut down the Star Destroyer's tractor beam.

Leaving a young man named White to restore the shuttle to operational status, Sartoris set out on his own, plowing through a group of corpses on his way to the tractor beam controls. However, after breaking free of the corpses, he realized that he had been bitten by one of them, and realized that he might be infected. Sartoris then set out do what he could to ensure any survivors got off the Star Destroyer. After disabling the tractor beams, he found a hovercraft and recovered Han Solo and Chewbacca before rescuing Trig Longo. Knowing that he was a dead man, Sartoris ordered Trig to rescue White and make his way off the ship, then jumped off the hovercraft in order to comit suicide and prevent himself from spreading the contagion. As he jumped, Sartoris told Trig that Von Longo would have been proud of him, and that Von had been a much better man than Sartoris himself. (SWDT)

Scatterblaster
This was a generic term used to describe any handheld blaster weapon that could fire a spray of blasts at a target. Each pull of the trigger fired a volley of tiny blaster bolts at a target. This allowed the wielder to hit a target without being totally accurate, although the individual bolts fired from a scatterblaster were not as powerful as the single bolt from a regular blaster weapon. Scatterblasters were particularly useful against the Jedi Knights and other Force-users who wielded lightsabers, since it was much harder to deflect a spray of blaster bolts that a single one. (FJ3)

Security Team Alpha
This was the codename used by Chief of State Natasi Daala to describe the primary team of Galactic Alliance Security officers who were trained to deal with the possibility that the Jedi Order might rise up against the government, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. (FJ2)

Separatist Destroyer
This was the name given to the massive destroyers that were produced by the shipwrights who supported the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the height of the Clone Wars. (CWTV31)

Serapis
see Seripas (CWTV39)

Series Four Thruster
This was a type of Thrive-class thruster that was developed for use by the naval forces of the Galactic Empire. Series Four thrusters were found on most Imperial Prison Barges, and could sometimes be installed as backup units on Imperial-class Star Destroyers. (SWDT)

Seripas
This unusual alien was part of the group of bounty hunters who worked with Sugi to help defend a Felucian farm settlement from pirates, during the height of the Clone Wars. Seripas wore an immense suit of automated battle armor that completely hid the fact that Seripas himself was a diminutive alien who stood no more than a meter in height. His anvil-shaped head was supported by a thin neck, and his limbs were muscled but quite thin as well. The automated armor gave Seripas the ability to interact with the galaxy without being ridiculed for his size. While on Felucia, Seripas and the other bounty hunters were joined by three Jedi Knights - Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Ahsoka Tano - in their attempt to protect the villages from Hondo Ohnaka and his pirates. While clearing some trees to help defend the village, Seripas was struck by a tree trunk and pinned to the ground. The helmet was knocked from his armor suit, and when Ahsoka arrived to make sure he was okay, she agreed to keep the secret of Seripas' true identity. When the pirates returned for a final battle, the armor that Seripas was wearing took heavy damage, and he was forced to abandon it. However, he refused to stop fighting, and managed to knock one of the pirates off his speederbike. After the fighting was over, however, Seripas chose to reveal his true self, and was pleased when the other bounty hunters accepted him for who he was. (CWTV39)

Shaalas, Makis
see Ma'kis'shaalas (CWTV31)

Shan, Tevar
This heavy-set man was the owner of Ronto-Rama Farms, which was based on the planet Tatooine, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. Tevar Shan often took his best livestock specimens to the Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition, hoping to sell rontos as beasts of burden to wealthy owners. Shan was also a part-owner of Eopies Extraordinaire, selling specially-bred eopies for use as mounts or even pets. (FJ2)

Sharp
This was the nickname used to describe the clone trooper designated CT-4012. This nickname was given to CT-4012 by Captain Lock, because of his ability to discern key details about his surroundings before other clones could. Sharp and his unit were assigned to the clean-up mission that followed the Galactic Republic's defeat of General Grievous and the destruction of the Malevolence, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. They were then assigned to Jedi Master Ring-Sol Ambase, who was leading the investigation into the appearance of KynachTech Industries circuitry aboard the Malevolence. Their ship was ambushed by Separatist forces upon reaching Kynachi, and all hands were forced to abandon the ship. Sharp landed on Kynachi with Master Ambase and several other clones, but they were quickly located by a Separatist patrol. The clones were taken to the prison facility deep within the KynachTech factory, and were later rescued by the members of the newly-named Breakout Squad. Sharp was later transferred to Breakout Squad, when the unit accompanied Nuru Kungurama to a diplomatic meeting at a Chiss space station in the Unknown Regions. (SM1)

Shartuuk
This was a predatory creature that was domesticated by the Barabels, for use in guarding their lairs and their herds of thedyklae from other creatures. Shartuuks were equally adept at driving off tarnoggs as the were destroying the zo'oxi that attacked the thedyklae. (FJ3)

Sheesta
This was an expletive used by the Sith Lords who evolved on the planet Kesh. (FJ3)

Shikkar
This was the name of the distinctive dagger that was used as a weapon by the Sith who evolved on the planet Kesh. The humans of The Tribe created the shikkar dagger from pure glass, and each blade was crafted by a Sith Master with a combination of technical skill and the application of the Force. Although the shikkar blade was made from glass, it was strong enough to serve its intended purpose and use. The shikkar dagger was used to stab an enemy, and when the blade was as deep as possible, it was snapped off at the hilt, leaving the victim with a physical reminder of their failure. (FJ2)

Ship of Destiny
This was the term used by the Sith of the Tribe to describe the ruins of the starship Omen, which crash-landed on the planet Kesh some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Over the millennia, the ship's wrecked hull served as a sanctuary, and the Sith Temple that was constructed by the Sith built around it. (FJ2)

Shiver Me Out
This was a phrase used by the youth of the galaxy, during the years following the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, to describe the sensation of being frightened or scared whenever entering an unknown area. It was similar in usage to the phrase "dark me out." (FJ3)

Shock-stick
This was a generic term used to describe any form of energized blade weapon that could be wielded by law enforcement and crowd control officers. In addition to using the shock-stick as a club or knife, the wielder could turn the weapon's power cells on, creating a powerful electrical charge along the bladed end. When this end of the weapon struck a living being, the charge was delivered to the being's body, stunning them into submission. (SM1)

Shortcircuit
This was a nickname used by Han Solo to describe R2-D2, during the years that followed the Swarm War. (FJ3)

Shorttail
This was an insulting name used to refer to a member of the Barabel race. Most Barabels prided themselves on their tails, and to infer that a Barabel's tail was short was exceptionally demeaning. (FJ3)

Shoto
This short-bladed weapon was part of the arsenal that was used by the Sith Lords who evolved on the planet Kesh. (FJ2)

Shumshur
This heavy-bodied reptile was native to the planet Kesh, and was domesticated by the Keshiri and the members of The Tribe to serve as a riding mount. (FJ2)

Shura
This woman was one of the many Sith Sabers who were living on the planet Kesh, during the year that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. It was Shura who accompanied Vestara Khai to her meeting with the Sith Circle of Lords, after she was able to make contact with the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship. (FJ2)

Sigweed, Dasha
This performer was part of the musical troupe known as Stargazer, which performed at nightclubs on the planet Coruscant during the final years of the Old Republic. (CWTV33)

Sinkhole Station
This was the name used by the Mind Walkers to describe the derelict space station on which they made their home. Sinkhole Station was located within the Maw cluster of black holes, held in relative safety within Stable Zone One. The Mind Walkers arrived at the station over a period of many years, but the largest influx of beings occurred during the years that followed the destruction of Centerpoint Station. Coming from a variety of groups and sources, some of the Force-sensitive Mind Walkers were simply compelled by a sudden connection to the Maw cluster, which became stronger as they neared the cluster of black holes. Others, like the intelligence agents who were working for the Maw Colony, were driven by a terrible sense of longing that called them home. Once at the station, however, each member of the Mind Walkers became obsessed with communing with the Force on a level that transcended the physical. (FJ3)

Sinube, Tera
This Cosian Jedi Master was among the many who were forced into military duty, during the height of the Clone Wars. Master Sinube was noted for his extensive knowledge of Coruscant's criminal underworld, although he was more often found asleep at a computer terminal than working in the field. Master Sinube moved about the Jedi Temple with a bit of a limp, and was usually seen walking with the help of a cane. Although his movements served to emphasize his deep-seated patience, they belied a sly sense of humor that he often used to disarm enemies or his fellow Jedi. Few beings knew that this cane actually contained Master Sinube's lightsaber. It was Master Sinube who helped Ahsoka Tano identify Bannamu, the Patrolian who stole Ahsoka's lightsaber when she was knocked down by the crowd of people who were avoiding Anakin Skywalker's capture of Car Affa. Master Sinube then agreed to accompany Ahsoka into the slums of Galactic City to track fown Bannamu, explaining that it had been years since he had been on an assignment. They tracked Bannamu to his apartment in the Spider Arms Hostel, only to learn that the Patrolian had sold the lightsaber Nack Movers. The Jedi tracked down Movers to his apartment, only to find that he had been killed by Cassie Cryar and Ione Marcy. Master Sinube and Ahsoka then set out to apprehend the two criminals, finally cornering them at a speeder station. Marcy was caught by police droids, but Cryar fled onto a moving train. Ahsoka followed her, while Master Sinube made his way swiftly to the next station, where he confronted Cryar and knocked her unconscious when she got off the train. He then returned Ahsoka's lightsaber to her, but he required her to attend a lightsaber training class with a group of younglings as a punishment. During the class, which was taught by Master Yoda, Ahsoka revealed that her lightsaber had been stolen, and offered up her experiences as a lesson for the younglings. (CWTV31, CWTV33)

Siphon Reed
This unusual species of reed was discovered on a remote, jungle-covered planetoid near the Maw cluster of black holes by Lady Olaris Rhea and her Sith crew, during their search for the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship. Siphon reeds lived in the rivers that wound across the surface of the planet, and used their hollow stalks to pump water in specific directions. This allowed a group of siphon reeds to create whirlpools that caught any creature that was trying to cross the river, dragging it closer to the siphon reeds. Once the prey was close enough, siphon reeds then sucked water into their stalks, creating a vacuum that allowed the reeds to grasp their prey and contract into their main mass, dragging the prey to its death. Siphon reeds were one of the many predatory species of plants found on the planetoid, which was the home of the Force presence known as Abeloth. When Abeloth was present, however, the siphon reeds and other dangerous plants were quelled into a state of non-activity, and would not attack anything that came near them. (FJ3)

Sip-pack
This was a generic term used to describe any sealed container that held beverages that could be consumed while traveling through space. Sip-packs used a simple valve to keep the beverage inside the container, ensuring that the liquid did not spill. These containers were especially useful in zero-gravity situations, where liquids could disperse and cause damage to electrical and computer systems. (FJ3)

Sith Circle of Lords
This was the name given to the group of Sith Lords and Masters who ruled their civilization on the planet Kesh. The Circle of Lords was governed by the Grand Lord, who was advised by seven High Lords and thirteen lower-ranking Lords. The Circle of Lords ruled the Sith society on Kesh from the Hihg Seat, located in the city of Tahv. (FJ2)

Sith Inquisitor
This was a term used to describe those ancient Sith who were trained to use the Dark Side of the Force to confront their enemies and extract information from them. These individuals were trained in the use of Force Lightning, and could imbue their lightsabers with the power of the Dark Side. (SWI114)

Sith Temple, The
Located in the mountains of the planet Kesh, this was the primary training facility of the Sith who were members of the Tribe. The Sith Temple was constructed near the wreckage of the Omen, on the slope of a mountain, and was initially a place for the survivors of the crash to rebuild their lives. This location made passage to the Temple a difficult endeavor, forcing the ancient Sith to construct the Temple by carving out pieces of rock from the mountain with their lightsabers and using the Force to move the pieces into position. Over the centuries of isolation that followed, the Sith continued to add to the Temple. (FJ2)

Situation Room
This was the name given to the specialized chambers that were locate in the new Jedi Temple on the planet Coruscant, during the years that followed the Swarm War. The Situation Room was essentially a high-tech command center that rivaled or surpassed any similar operation that was maintained by the Galactic Alliance government. The chambers contained tactical displays, a multitude of HoloNet access systems, and communications terminals that allowed the Jedi Order to keep detailed status on what was happening throughout the galaxy. The Grand Master's officers were linked to the Situation Room, giving the Grand Master the ability to understand any situation at a moment's notice. The entrance to the Grand Master's chambers were always guarded by at least two apprentices, although Jedi Knights could be assigned whenever a meeting involved important members of the Order or the government. (FJ3)

Skaa
This Jedi Master was one of the many who were sent to the planet Geonosis in an attempt to capture Count Dooku, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. Like many other Jedi, Master Skaa was forced to leave Coruscant at a moment's notice, and he never got a chance to tell his Padawan, Nuru Kungurama, that he was going. Unfortunately for Nuru and the Jedi Order, Master Skaa was killed on Geonosis. Jedi Master Ring-Sol Ambase later took on Nuru's training. (SM1)

Slaur
This fish-like creature was native to the planet Dagobah. The roe of the slaur was considered edible, and provided natural proteins. However, its unique texture made slaur roe difficult to swallow, and many beings reported a tickling sensation in their throats while consuming it. (FJ3)

Sligh Slipper
This was a term coined by Han and Leia Solo, in reference to the Squib known as Sligh. The Sligh Slipper was a subtle yet effective technique that the Solos developed for extricating themselves from a potentially dangerous or awkward situation, in which they appeared to give another being exactly what they were asking for. However, instead of acceding to the other being's demands, the Solos used these demands to their own advantage, often to make a clean getaway without the other being suspecting what was happening. The Sligh Slipper helped the Solos avoid trouble when Captain Atar of the Galactic Alliance Security force tried to take Bazel Warv and Yaqeel Saav'etu captive, some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Captain Atar demanded that the Solos and the Jedi Order turn over to the young Jedi, who had experienced a strange episode of Force-related psychosis. Atar produced a warrant for their arrest, and Leia quickly scanned it and verified its authenticity. However, when she stated that the Jedi Council would need to verify it for themselves, Atar grew impatient and demanded that the two Jedi be brought out of the Jedi Temple. By this time, however, the Solos had managed to get within the protective gates that secured the Temple's perimeter. As they agreed to do what Atar asked, they closed the gates and secured the Temple from outside intrusion, leaving Atar and his men to stand around with nothing to show for their efforts. (FJ3)

Small Animal Hall
This was one of the most popular areas of the Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition, where some of the galaxy's smallest and most adorable creatures were put on display. Like other creatures at the event, the beasts found in the Small Animal Hall were kept under close watch, so that they did not escape into the crowds. (FJ2)

Smogbrush
This unusual species of plant was discovered on a remote, jungle-covered planetoid near the Maw cluster of black holes by Lady Olaris Rhea and her Sith crew, during their search for the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship. Named for the cloud of poisonous spores it ejected into the air when threatened, smogbrush was one of the many predatory species of plants found on the planetoid, which was the home of the Force presence known as Abeloth. When Abeloth was present, however, smogbrush and other dangerous plants were quelled into a state of non-activity, and would not attack anything that came near them. (FJ3)

Snake Vine
This unusual species of plant was discovered on a remote, jungle-covered planetoid near the Maw cluster of black holes by Lady Olaris Rhea and her Sith crew, during their search for the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship. Snake vines were named for the way that they moved across the jungle floor in search of their prey, before trying to trap the prey by coiling itself around the prey. (FJ3)

Soft Eyes
This was the Basic translation of a technique used by the Aing-Tii monks to connect with the Force. According to the Aing-Tii,"soft eyes" were used to see the galaxy, while "hard eyes" would not see what they needed to see, and closed eyes would see nothing at all. Any being who wished to commune with the Force needed to "watch without watching", keeping their "soft eyes" open but unfocused, ready to see both inwardly and outwardly at the same time. (FJ2)

Solo Slide
This was a term used by many acquaintenances of Han and Leia Solo to describe any social maneuver in which a being was deflected from a course of questioning or reasoning by commenting on the being's own abilities and assets. The term stemmed from a starship maneuver that bore the same name, in which a starship captain used his own repulsors and the mass of an asteroid to deflect the course of his vessel. (FJ3)

Somatoll
This was a powerful tranquilizer that was developed during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong War. Although it was often used by police and security forces to immobilize a criminal, its effects varied from race to race. Somatoll put most humanoid species into a deep sleep, but it caused convulsions when administered to Ramoans. (FJ3)

Sook, Clea
Distinguished by the black tattoos that covered her face and hands, this woman from the planet Galidraan was one of the handful of pilots who survived the tests of Imperial agent X-7, who gathered a group of pilots near Iope to test out their skills. X-7 was searching for Luke Skywalker, during the months that followed the Battle of Yavin, and hoped that he could take advantage of the galaxy's best pilots to help him hunt down and eliminate Skywalker. Sook and three other pilots - Div, Fallon Pollo, and Grish B'reen - managed to survive X-7's tests, and were given the opportunity to hunt down Skywalker. Their first attempt to find Skywalker led them to the planet Kamino, where they were able to ambush Skywalker and a group of Alliance X-Wings that arrived at the watery planet. Although two rebel ships were driven off and the rest were forced to crash-land in the planet's oceans, the mercenary group also suffered damage in the engagement. Clea's ship was forced down near Research City, and she barely escaped drowning when her ship sank. She met up with Div in the abandoned city, and only reluctantly agreed to work with him to find a way to escape. They later met up with Grish B'reen, and then managed to locate Skywalker and Han Solo in the abandoned city. Although Div ordered B'reen to holster his weapons, Clea found that she had no reason to trust the rebels. She also realized that she had no reason to trust Div, and so she drew her weapon and placed the muzzle to Div's head. She gave him an ultimatum: join together and kill the rebels, or die with them. Clea never got the chance to act on Div's answer, because it was at that moment that the creature that had been developed by the Empire at Research City attacked the group. Grish B'reen was immediately swallowed by the creature, which seemed to be impervious to the blaster bolts that were fired at it. The creature then turned on Clea, knocking her to the ground before pulling her into its mouth and consuming her. (RF4)

Sorumi
This was a species of slender, deer-like creature that was native to the planet Kesh. (FJ2)

Space-crazy
This was a slang term used by smugglers to describe the condition known as hyper-rapture. (FJ3)

Spark
This clone trooper, official designated as CC-1284, was deployed aboard the cruiser Negotiator during a mission to send supplies to the planet Christophsis, at the height of the Clone Wars. The mission to Christophsis was Spark's first active combat mission, and he was helped by clone trooper Blackout during the transit to the planet. Once at Christophsis, Spark and Blackout were chosen to accompany Anakin Skywalker and Admiral Wullf Yularen aboard the prototype stealth ship, which was used to get past the blockade that was led by Admiral Trench. (CWTV38)

Sparky
This Artorian man was a friend of king Caled Galfridian, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When the alien invaders first struck at Artorias, Sparky was among the group of survivors that fled to the nearest spaceport, only to find that every ship had been sabotaged. This information pointed to the fact that there was a spy in their midst, although they could find no evidence of the Yuuzhan Vong among the ships. When he explained this to Caled, they both realized that the aliens had had help from an Artorian conspirator. Caled ordered the assembled survivors to do what they could to get any ships spaceworthy, and anyone who was not a technician was ordered to guard the spaceport. (INV1)

Spider Arms Hostel
This seedy inn was located in the G17 district of Coruscant, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (CWTV33)

Spirit Singer
This was a specific genre of singers that evolved on the planet Jabor. Jabori spirit singers were noted for their ability to draw attention to themselves, which was often accomplished by using a great deal of stage lighting. (FJ3)

S'rai
This plant, which was native to the planet Kesh, was harvested for the nectar its fruit produced. This nectar was dark brown in color, and was used by the Sith and the Keshiri who lived on the planet as a dye for tracing the designs of vor'shandi facial markings. (FJ2)

Sse-orhstki hsuzma sahaslatho Shi'ido hsesstivaph!
This was a particularly vehement oath from the ancient Hsoosh language, in which a Falleen threatened to kill another individual in a terribly unpleasant fashion, including doing incredible damage to the other being's intestines. (FJ3)

Stable Zone One
This was one of the few locations among the black holes of the Maw cluster that was believed to be safe for travel. According to astrophysics, any two large bodies had five areas around them where gravity and other forces were nearly equivalent, and would hold a smaller body between them, in a form of equilibrium. Stable Zone One was directly between the two largest black holes in the cluster, and held a collection of space debris in a sort of interstellar limbo between them. Scientists believed that the relative stability of the area demarked by Stable Zone One would allow a starship to pass through its exact center, preventing the ship from experiencing several forces that would otherwise tear it apart. However, such a passage would have to be calculated to an exacting level of precision, and would have to take into account the shifting gravitational forces of the other black holes in the Maw cluster. (FJ3)

Stain Analyzer-dissolver Module
This was the generic term used to describe any of the systems that were used in the construction of cleaning droids to analyze the presence of chemicals in a stain, in order to determine what chemicals or cleaners to use to get rid of the stain. (FJ3)

Star Cluster Cantina
The Nikto thug named Musk used this incorrect name to refer to the Star Cluster Casino, which was located on the moon Nar Shaddaa, during the era of the Great Galactic War. (SV)

Star Princess
This was one of the many false transponder codes that Han Solo maintained for this freighter, the Millennium Falcon, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong War. During an attempt to transport ailing Jedi Knights to Shedu Maad, Solo flew the Millennium Falcon through Coruscant's airspace in a series of dangerous maneuvers, hoping to draw the attention of Galactic City Air Traffic Control from Leia Organa Solo and the Gizer Gut. In order to confuse his pursuit and give them reason to follow him, Han asked his granddaughter, Allana, to choose a false transponder code for the ship, and she chose the Star Princess because she thought it was a pretty name. (FJ3)

Stargazer
This was the name of a popular band of musicians who performed in nightclubs on the planet Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. Among the most popular of the musicians in the Stargazer troupe was Dasha Sigweed. (CWTV33)

StarTripper
This SoroSuub pleasure yacht was one of the forerunners of the PLY 3000 luxury yacht. (FJ3)

Stealth Ship
This needle-shaped vessel was designed by the Galactic Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, as part of an experiment to develop a ship that employed cloaking technology on a large scale. The prototype of the stealth ship was deployed aboard the cruiser Negotiator, and was to have been used by Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi to carry supplies to the people of the planet Christophsis. (CWTV38)

Strategic Information Service
This was one of the most top-secret branches of the Galactic Republic's military forces, during the decades that followed the Great Sith War. The Strategic Information Service was responsible for gathering data of importance to the Republic and using it to the Republic's advantage. It was the Strategic Information Service that suggested the occupation of Belsavis and the re-purposing of the prison facility known as The Tomb, during the era of the Great Galactic War. (SWORW)

Suck-nozzle
This was the term used to describe any speciallized tube that was attached to a drinking vessel that could be used in the vacuum of zero-gravity environments. The suck-nozzle had a simple valve at its base that prevented liquids from escaping from the main container unless they were drawn out by sucking on the tube. This helped to ensure that none of the liquid held inside the container escaped into the surrounding environment, where it could damage electrical and computer systems. (FJ3)

Sugi
This female Zabrak was the ostensible leader of the group of bounty hunters who were hired by the short-statured Felucians to help them defend their nysillin crops, during the height of the Clone Wars. Sugi and her group - which included Rumi Paramita, Embo, and Seripas - recognized that the pirates were wrong, and agreed to do what they could to help the Felucians. Initially, their presence seemed to deter the pirates, who were led by Hondo Ohnaka, but eventually the pirates became more forceful. It was at this time that a group of Jedi Knights crash-landed on Felucia. The Jedi, including Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, were simply looking for a way off the planet, in order to ensure that Separatist forces didn't follow them. However, the only ship that was available to them was Sugi's, and she refused to turn it over to the Jedi. Thus, the Jedi agreed to remain with the villagers and augment the bounty hunters in their roles as protectors. When Ohnaka and the pirates returned to demand their payment, Ohnaka went so far as to make an offer to Sugi pay their salaries if they backed down and let the pirates take the nysillin. Sugi refused to renege on the deal she had with Casiss, and stood up to the pirates. She then welcomed the assistance of the Jedi in readying the defense of the Felucian village, and they fought side-by-side against the pirates before driving them off. With the village secured, Sugi then offered to take the Jedi back to the Republic nearest base. (CWTV39)

Sundari
This domed city served as the planetary capital of the planet Mandalore, during the final years of the Old Republic. Despite its location in the middle of an arid wasteland, Sundari was one of the most technologicall-advanced cities on the planet, with most of tis habitable space located underground. This kept the temperature fairly constant, and natural light was brought in throuah various portals and openings, allowing the natives to grow beautiful gardens. Many of the beings who lived in Sundari during the years leading up to the Clone Wars believed that they were superior to other Mandalorians, especially the exiles who were sent to Concordia in order to remove the violence that had marked Mandalorian history for many centuries. These beings believed that the Death Watch was nothing more than a group of hooligans, and were unaware of the group's rebirth on Concordia. (CWTV34, CWTV35)

Survival Capsule
Similar in purpose to an escape pod, a survival capsule was designed to save a being's life, in the event to a starship malfunction. However, survival capsules were little more than spherical shells made from a flexible material that allowed the capsule to bounce along the surface of a planet. They lacked any form of propulsion system, and contained safety webbing that required the occupant to be all but immobile during the ride to the planet's surface. Thus, survival capsules were only useful in those situations when a being had to escape from a ship that was very close to a planet's surface. Once the survival capsule came to a rest, the occupant could open the primary egress hatch and emerge in their new surroundings. (CWTV39)

Swift Return
This Old Republic frigate was part of the task force that was dispatched to deliver supplies to, and rescue Senator Bail Organa from, the planet Christophsis, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Republic's ships found that the planet had been blockaded by Separatist Admiral Trench, who ordered his ships to open fire on the Republic vessels. The Swift Return and the cruiser The Righteous were both shot down by Trench's forces, before the Republic's ships could retreat and form a new plan of action. (CWTV38)

Sword Law
This law evolved on the planet Telerath, during the decades leading up to the Clone Wars. Under Sword Law, all disputes had to be settled by a duel with hard-bladed weapons, including metal swords and vibro-swords, so that any being who believed they were correct had to prove it with the strength of their own sword arm. This law prohibited the use of blasters in almost any situation, thereby ensuring that honor and a relative form of peace were preserved on the planet. Visitors to the planet were expected to abide by the Sword Law, although many first-time visitors who violated the law were given a brief reprieve. It was generally accepted that swords were wielded with the right arm, and so any being who could not fight with the sword in their right hand was considered inferior. Those who disobeyed the Sword Law often had their right hands removed as punishment, thereby preventing them from causing trouble in the future. (DT3)

System Burner
This was a version of ion torpedo that was produced during the years that followed the Swarm War. These projectiles were developed for system patrol fleets that needed to disable, but not destroy, another starship that needed to be brought to a halt and boarded. Upon striking another vessel, the System Burner ion torpedo earned its name by bathing the other ship with ion energy that disrupted or disabled electrical and computer systems. (FJ3)

Tadar'Ro
This member of the Aing-Tii race was chosen to greet Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, when the pair traveled into the Kathol Rift, several years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Luke had been exiled from his position as Grand Master of the Jedi Order, as a way to atone for the damage done to the galaxy by Darth Caedus. Instead of sulking, Luke decided to follow the travels of Jacen Solo, the Jedi Caedus had once been, in order to understand what might have happened to draw him to the Dark Side of the Force. After spending time with the Baran Do Sages, the Skywalkers sought out the Aing-Tii, and Tadar'Ro was chosen to initiate contact with the two humans. Tadar'Ro initially used the Force to communicate, allowing the Skywalkers to sense him as if they were woven together like a piece of cloth. With this initial link, Tadar' Ro communicated the will of the other Aing-Tii in his community, until he and the others could determine whether or not the Skywalkers were trustworthy. After determining that the Skywalkers were not a threat, Tadar'Ro was allowed to speak to them in Basic, using a specialized translation unit that was attached to his chest. Tadar'Ro revealed that he had been one of the few Aing-Tii to live and work with Jorj Car'das, whose knowledge of the rest of the galaxy had helped the Aing-Tii, and led to the development of the chest-mounted translation device. Tadar'Ro even took the voice of Jorj Car'das to be the synthesized voice that came out of the translator. Because of his work with Car'das, Tadar'Ro was chosen to be the liaison with the Skywalkers.

Tadar'Ro later explained that his relationship with Car'das was also the reason he was chosen to work with Jacen Solo, when the young man arrived at the Kathol Rift in search of new ways to perceive the Force. In the days that followed, the Aing-Tii deliberated about Luke's request to learn about Jacen's time among them, until they decided that Luke and Ben would be allowed to study the Relics. If they were able to determine the truth behind Those Who Dwell Beyond the Veil, then the Aing-Tii would provide Luke with any information they had on Jacen Solo's time with them. Because of the time he had spent with Car'das and Solo, Tadar'Ro was quite comfortable working with the Skywalkers, which helped set the two humans at ease, and allowed them to carry out their task without any unnecessary fear or trouble. However, not all the Aing-Tii welcomed the presence of the Skywalkers, and Tadar'Ro was appalled when an unknown assailant attacked the humans while they were resting aboard their starship, the Jade Shadow. Realizing that time was of the essence, Tadar'Ro took the Skywalkers to the Embrace, so that they could begin their task of understanding the Relics. Unfortunately, Luke and Ben were unable to learn anything about Those Who Dwell Beyond the Veil, a revelation that made Tadar'Ro both saddened and happy, because it gave the Aing-Tii the knowledge that they were in command of their own destiny. Honoring this wishs of his people, Tadar'Ro then taught Ben Skywalker the flow-walking technique, and he also gave Luke some instruction on how to use the Force to move an object through time and space, in much the same way that Sanhedrim ships moved through the Kathol Rift.

In the days that followed, Luke explained about the strange sensation of an evil presence in the Maw cluster of black holes, and Tadar'Ro explained that Jacen Solo had felt a similar presence when he was staying with the Aing-Tii. Tadar'Ro explained that the Maw was the home of the Mind Drinkers, and he warned the Skywalkers not to travel to the Maw in an attempt to find them. When Luke explained that he had to qualms about heading to the Maw, Tadar'Ro went on to explain that Jacen had also set his mind to traveling there. As a parting gift, Tadar'Ro gave the Skywalkers the same riddle he had give Jacen: "The Path of Enlightenment runs through the chasm of Perfect Darkness. The way is narrow and treacherous, but if you can follow it, you will find what you ask." When Luke questioned what this meant, Tadar' Ro simply explained that Luke needed to figure that out for himself. (FJ2)

Takara Mountains
This was the name used by the modern Sith who lived on the planet Kesh to describe the Cetajan Mountains. (FJ2)

Tanner
This man was one of the few survivors of the Star Destroyer crew that was infected with the strange contagion that was developed as part of the Blackwing operation, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Tanner and Commander Gorrister rounded up a small group of crewmen who were immune to the contagion, and they managed to hide within the fuselage of a Sentinal-class shuttle while the rest of the crew was killed by the contagion and then re-animated. In order to survive, Gorrister and the others drew lots to see who would be cannibalized to ensure the continued survival of the others. They had been inside the shuttle fo ten weeks when they were discovered by Captain Jareth Sartoris of the prisone barge Purge. Sartoris refused to become their next meal, and killed Gorrister and threw several others to the re-animated corpses, hoping to use the distraction to break from the shuttle and deactivate the Star Destroyer's tractor beam. Tanner was still in the shuttle when Sartoris left, and managed to hang on long enough for another group of survivors - including Trig Longo, Han Solo, and Chewbacca - to locate them. Unfortunately, before the group was able to make its way to safety, a group of re-animated corpses attacked and killed Tanner, ripping his body to pieces in order to feed. (SWDT)

Tarnogg
This predatory creature, distinguished by its ravenous appetite, was once native to the planet Barab I. Tarnoggs were known to attack Barabel dens, especially when other sources of food were scarce, prompting the Barabels to kept shartuuks near their lairs for protection. (FJ3)

Teejay
This was the name of the navigation droid that had been converted by Lalo Gunn to serve as a waiter at her restaurant, Gunn's Diner, during the era of the Clone Wars. Teejay was a fully-programming 2JTJ navigational droid when it was first produced, and was purchased by Lalo Gunn to server aboard her transport vessel, the Hasty Harpy. When she was grounded on Kynachi about two years before the Battle of Geonosis, she converted the starship into a restaurant, and tasked Teejay with waiting tables while she took care of the rest of the business. This frustrated the droid, whose personality turned more surly as the months turned into years. The appearance of Nuru Kungurama and his clone troopers at the restaurant drew the attention of the Federation, which dispacthed a group of battle droids to investigate. When they droids learned that the newcomers were part of a Republic task force, they tried to attack the restaurant. Teejay was bussing some tables when the battle droids arrived, and the battle droids fired on the waiter droid, smashing Teejay to pieces. Lalo and the others managed to repair Teejay and reprogram him to serve as a battle droid, but the droid's personality seemed more mechanical and lacked any hint of emotion. When the group tried to get him to use a shock-stick, Teejay deftly caught the weapon and brandished it in front of himself, prompting clone trooper Knuckles to give him the nickname Cleaver. (SM1)

Tee-muss
This unusual creature was domesticated by the short-statured Felucians for use as a mount. The long-legged tee-muss had two knee-joints in each leg, allowing the tee-muss to bend down to graze for food. The flat head of the tee-muss was protected by two horns that grew from the sides of its head. (CWTV39)

Temple Court
This immense, open-air plaza was the main entrance to the Jedi Temple, on the planet Coruscant, that opened onto the Fellowship Plaza, during the years that followed the Swarm War. The Temple Court was separated from Fellowship Plaza by the famous Walking Gardens. (FJ3)

Temple District
This was the term used to describe the city blocks that surrounded the re-constructed Jedi Temple on the planet Coruscant, during the years that followed the Swarm War. (FJ2)

Tenolodium
This valuable metal was once used as a form of currency. The New Republic government maintained several tenolodium reserves to serve as the financial basis behind the credits it issued to its citizens. (FJ3)

Terellian
This alien race was distinguished by its lithe, supple body and unusual skin coloration. Much of a Terellian's body was covered with greenish skin, but the face had a pale, white color that set it off from the body. The ropy hair of a Terellian was often dark red in color, and was worn in a topknot that crowned the skull. Terellians eyes were often red in pigment, and appeared beady next to the white skin of the face. (CWTV33)

TGM Marauder
This was an outdated model of transport vessel that was originally produced by TransGalMeg Industries. (FJ3)

Thedyklae
This was a grazing herd beast that was once native to the planet Barab I. (FJ3)

TheedSpeed Galaxy Runner
This was an outdated starship design. (FJ3)

Thrive-class Thruster
This was a type of capital ship drive unit that was manufactured during the height of the New Order. (SWDT)

Throne of Balance
According to the Mind Walkers, the Throne of Balance was where Abeloth awaited those who sought knowledge and truth. Any being wishing to speak with Abeloth had to successfully pass the tests at the Font of Power and the Pool of Knowledge, before they would be allowed to ascend to the Throne of Balance. There, the Mind Walkers believed, an individual would be able to discern the cource of the future. Those beings who made it to the Throne of Balance found it surrounded by a hundred other beings of regal stature, from a nuber of different races and species. The Throne itself was a simple, white chair that was housed in a bright chamber. Luke Skywalker visited the Throne of Balance, some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, while he was on a self-imposed mission to trace the steps of Jacen Solo, in an attempt to discover what had turned the former Jedi into the Sith Lord known as Darth Caedus. Seek Ryontarr explained that Jacen had seen an image of a dark man sitting on the throne, and that Jacen believed that he had to finish his training in order to overcome the dark man and change what he had seen in the Pool of Knowledge, even though doing so would probably kill him. Ryontarr would not explain beyond this, however, leaving Luke with yet another mystery. For his own part, Luke saw a vision of Allana Djo Solo, Jacen's daughter by Tenel Ka, taking her place as the ruler of a peaceful and prosperous galaxy. (FJ3)

Tisa
This was the nickname used by the crew of the Imperial Prison Barge Purge to describe the primary shipboard computer system. The computer was given a female voice, and many of the ship's crew spent their off-duty hours talking to the computer as if it were a real female. They eventually gave it the nickname Tisa in order to make their discussions more personal. (SWDT)

Tomb, The
This was the name given to the Rakatan prison facility that was discovered by the Galactic Republic on Belsavis, some fifty years before the onset of the Great Galactic War. Located beneath the ice floes of the planet's equatorial regions, The Tomb was protected by strange force fields. It was these force fields, and their unusual effects on the ice, that first attracted Republic scientists. Deep beneath the ice, the prison facility was protected by unusual guard droids and strange beasts that remained vigiliant for millennia after the fall of the Rakatan Empire, kept active by the facility's unusual systems. The Rakatans had imprisoned their worst criminals in stasis chambers at the facility, although the reasons for keeping the criminals alive was never discovered. Republic scientists found many of the stasis chambers contained beings that might still be alive, although millennia of neglects had taken its toll on many others. When the Strategic Information Service learned of the hidden prison facility, it urged the Galactic Republic to take the facility for its own use, during the era of the Great Galactic War. Renamed as The Tomb, the facility was used to incarcerate Sith and Mandalorian prisoners of war who could not be executed or imprisoned without great effort. Many unusual Sith creatures were also placed into stasis at The Tomb, for further investigation by the Jedi Order. (SWORW)

Torque-bludgeon
As its name implied, this heavy-duty tool was used to loosen bolts and other fasteners, either through leverage or through brute force. The tool's long handle provided incredible torque, and its weight provided the user with enough power to force stubborn connectors to let loose. (SWDT)

Toxiden
This was a term used to describe any prison facility that took poor care of its prisoners. (FJ3)

Toydarian Double-reverse Spinner
This was a slang term used to describe the act of outwardly showing another being a level of respect that they might not necessarily have earned, in order to give the other being a false sense of superiority. The goal of the Toydarian double-reverse spinner was to make the other being feel important and included, so that they were more likely to take one's words and thoughts to heart. (FJ3)

Tracking Missile
This was a generic term used to describe any projectile weapon that had sensors systems built into its targetting computer which allowed it to track a specific target and report on its location. This allowed subsequent missiles to use the tracking missile's targetting data to locate the target, rather than acquiring their own lock. (CWTV38)

Trapper
This clone trooper was assigned to Commander Ponds and his unit, serving under Jedi Master Mace Windu during the Battle of Malastare. (CWTV40)

Trebek
This being represented his homeworld in the Galactic Senate, during the years that followed the Swarm War. Senator Trebek was faithful to the Jedi Order, and often provided the Jedi Council with knowledge and information about the dealings in the Senate. (FJ3)

Treece, Vannar
This Jedi Master was something of an adventurer, and was known to have trained Kerra Holt to Knighthood, some 1,032 years before the Battle of Yavin. (SWI116)

Tremaine, Rhondi
This blond-haired woman and her brother, Rolund, were among the handful of Force-sensitive beings who gathered at a strange space station that was hidden within the Maw cluster of black holes, where they chose to live out their lives while mind walking with the Force. The Tremaines had been born at the Maw Colony, at a secret military installation that had been built by Natasi Daala after the destruction of the Maw Installation. The siblings had been deemed unfit for military duty, but because of their Force sensitivity, they had been trained as intelligence agents. Like other agents, the Tremaines had been deployed in the greater galaxy when the Second Galactic Civil War broke out, and they experienced an intense desire to return to the Maw after the destruction of Centerpoint Station. Denied by Daala herself, the Tremaines made their own way back to the Maw, where they discovered Sinkhole Station. Their devotion to mind walking meant that the Tremaines gave up caring about their physical bodies, in the belief that only the Force was real, and everything else was a dream. When Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, arrived at the space station some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, while investigation the travels of Jacen Solo, the Tremaine siblings explained that the beings in the station were willing to help Luke shed his material possessions and eliminate any ties he had to his dreams. These dreams, they claimed, led him away from the only thing that was real in the galaxy, which was the Force. Rhondi later explained that Jacen Solo had traveled to the Maw to discuss the "cold thing" he had felt in the Force, since the Aing-Tii had ignored its existence.

Seek Ryontarr agreed to show Luke how the mind walking technique worked, which gave Ben time to bring the Tremaines back to the Jade Shadow and give them some nourishment to help restore their bodies. Whenever Ben turned his back on them, the Tremaines made every effort to ensure that Luke was able to fully become a Mind Walker, and they went so far as to undo any attempt by Ben to make sure his father was well-nourished. Ben eventually figured out their schemes, and locked Rolund in a sleeping cabin while holding Rhondi hostage, in order to prevent them from interfering with his father. When the physical bodies of Ryontarr and Feryl both expired, Ben decided that it was time for him to go mind walking, in an attempt to bring his father back to his body. Rhondi pleaded with him, fearing that if Ben died while mind walking, she would not be able to release Rolund from the locked cabin. However, he refused to be deterred, and Rhondi agreed to help him with the mind walking technique.Rhondi took Ben beyond the shadows where he was able to locate his father and bring him back to the physical world. Upon returning to Sinkhole Station, Luke and Ben both questioned Rhondi about what they had seen within the Force. They both realized that the dark presence they had encountered was calling out to other Force-sensitives through the Force, prompting Rhondi to explain that the Jedi Knights who were experiencing trouble were not actually sick, but were being called home. With his father safe, Ben agreed to free Rolund from the cabin, but before he could do so, an explosion rocked the station. Before they could reach the cabin, Rhondi was stabbed through the chest with a red lightsaber, killing her instantly and forcing the Skywalkers to confront the Sith who had boarded the station. (FJ3)

Tremaine, Rolund
This blond-haired man and his sister, Rhondi, were among the handful of Force-sensitive beings who gathered at a strange space station that was hidden within the Maw cluster of black holes, where they chose to live out their lives while mind walking with the Force. The Tremaines had been born at the Maw Colony, at a secret military installation that had been built by Natasi Daala after the destruction of the Maw Installation.

These dreams, they claimed, led him away from the only thing that was real in the galaxy, which was the Force. Rolund went on to explain that Jacen Solo had also been led astray by his dreams, although he was quick to point out that Jacen would never have truly fallen to the Dark Side of the Force because his motives were too pure.

Seek Ryontarr agreed to show Luke how the mind walking technique worked, which gave Ben time to bring the Tremaines back to the Jade Shadow and give them some nourishment to help restore their bodies. Whenever Ben turned his back on them, the Tremaines made every effort to ensure that Luke was able to fully become a Mind Walker, and they went so far as to undo any attempt by Ben to make sure his father was well-nourished. Ben eventually figured out their schemes, and locked Rolund in a sleeping cabin while holding Rhondi hostage, in order to prevent them from interfering with his father. (FJ3)

Trench
This unusual, insectile being served the Separatist military forces as an Admiral, and was placed in command of the planet Christophsis, during the height of the Clone Wars. Although largely arachnoid in shape, Trench walked upright on two legs like most humanoid races. He then used his six arms for a variety of tasks. Like most arachnoids, Trench's mouth was formed by four sharp fangs, and was protected by two heavy mandibles. Four small eyes crowed his forehead, sitting above two largers eyes. Trench managed the planetary blockade that protected Christophsis from his flagship, the Invincible. For many years, it was believed that Admiral Trench had perished during the Battle of Malastare Narrows, when he was serving as the commander of a corporate fleet that tried to blockade the planet Malastare. A Galactic Republic task force was sent to Malastare to displace the blockade, and among the Republic's officers was Wullf Yularen. His experiences with Trench at Malastare gave him a warning that the Separatist fleet over Christophsis might be under the command of Admiral Trench, especially when the flagship Invincible exhibited many of the same operational characteristics of the ships at Malastare. Among Trench's many battles, he was known to have encountered and overcome starships that used cloaking technology, which proved valuable when Yularen and his Jedi Generals, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, attempted to use a prototype stealth ship to slip past the blockade of Christophsis. Admiral Trench was able to identify the stealth ship using sensors that detected magnetic singatures and fire on it, and he also correctly recognized that it was being flown by a Jedi. Unfortunately, that Jedi was Anakin Skywalker, who had a few tricks of his own to employ. Anakin dropped the cloaking device on the stealth ship long enough for Trench's gunners to get a lock on it, and Trench ordered the gunners to dropd the dreadnaught's shelds and fire their torpedoes. Skywalker allowed the incoming torpedoes to lock onto the stealth ship, then plowed toward the Invincible at top speed, dragging the torpedoes behind him. Before the Invincible's shields could be brought back online, the torpedoes that were chasing the stealth ship plowed into the Invincible's bridge, setting off a series of explosions that tore the ship apart and killed all organic beings onboard, including Admiral Trench.

Trill Aurek Papa
This was one of the many Galactic City Air Traffic Control impound stations that were arrayed in orbit around Coruscant, during the years that followed the Second Galactic Civil War. (FJ3)

Tropotaur
This unusual reptile was distinguished by its ability to capture its prey and then transport it back to a common location, where all the individuals in its lair could share the prey. The prey was not harmed by the tropotaur, and was often delivered to the community nest alive and intact, so that others could take part in its killing. This served to bring food to the entire lair, and allowed younger tropotaurs a chance to test their hunting skills. (RF4)

Trueblood
This was the nickname used by one of the clone troopers who accompanied Jedi Master Ring-Sol Ambase to the planet Kynachi, during the height of the Clone Wars, to investigate the appearance of KynachTech Industries circuitry aboard the Separatist warship Malevolence. When their ship arrived at Kynachi, it was ambushed by Separatist forces, and the crew was forced to abandon their cruiser. Trueblood was one of the clone troopers who got into an escape pod with Master Ambase, although the pod's location was lost in the chaos. Their pod crashed into the surface of Kynachi, and although the clones were largely unharmed, Master Ambase was knocked unconscious and had to be carrier to their rendezvous point. Unfortunately, Master Ambase and the clones were located by a Separatist patrol. The clones were taken to the prison facility deep within the KynachTech factory, and were later rescued by the members of the newly-named Breakout Squad. (SM1)

Trumpet Flower
This plant produced a series of large, purple flowers that gave off a rich, sweet scent. (FJ2)

Truth-sense
This was a technique that was cultivated by the Jedi Order, which allowed an individual to tap into the Force in order to determine if another being was telling the truth. In general, a trained Jedi could quickly assess whether another individual was being truthful or not, but the technique did have its limitations. For instance, if a being under investigation truly believed what they were saying was the truth, and they knew of no other knowledge that could contradict it, the Jedi that was using the truth-sense would often come to the conclusion that the being was telling the truth. (FJ3)

T'surri Brothers
This band of brothers forged a small spice-running organization on the planet Telerath, during the final years of the Old Republic. Although they were smaller in stature that Demanna's gang of slavers, the T'surri Brothers were considered more dangerous, because they acted without and form of organization. (DT3)

Tugnut
This Dug criminal was among the many prisoners who were placed aboard the Imperial prison barge Purge for transport to a penal colony, about a year before the Battle of Yavin. Tugnut tried to escape from the harsh realities of life aboard the barge by faking various illnesses, allowing him to spend time in the medical infirmary. (SWDT)

Tuning Shim
This was a device used to ensure that a starship's primary thrusters were working at their optimum frequency. The tuning shim was installed into the thruster unit, and could be adjusted to ensure the thruster's systems were working properly. (SWDT)

Tunqstoid
This durable material was used to manufacture blast doors, during the years that followed the Swarm War. (FJ3)

TV-94
This tactical droid served the Confederacy of Independent Systems aboard one of General Grievous's destroyers, during the height of the Clone Wars. TV-94 was noted for its cruel sense of humor, and the droid seemed to have a sadistic personality. This droid was on duty when Grievous captured Jedi Master Eeth Koth and took him to Saleucami, where the General waited for a response from the Jedi Order. When a small fleet of fast-moving ships entered the system, TV-94 warned Grievous that the Republic ships were mich faster than his own destroyer. Following Grievous's orders, TV-94 waited aboard the destroyer, so that he could spring a trap on any Jedi who tried to rescue Master Koth. Among the Jedi who attempted the rescue was Anakin Skywalker, who deftly used his lightsaber to sever TV-94's arm, preventing the droid from activating the torture device that was holding Master Koth. The Jedi proved to be too powerful for TV-94 and the droids, and Master Koth was soon freed. (CWT31)

Tyrr, Javis
This man was a noted reporter who covered news and events on the planet Coruscant, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Tyrr gained notoriety when he began covering the events that surrounded the actions of Valin and Jysella Horn, two Jedi Knights who experienced a strange kind of psychosis and lashed out at anyone who confronted them. He also managed to be present whenever Jaina Solo and Jagged Fel went out in public, and Tyrr did whatever he needed to in order to get close enough to the pair to follow them. His ability to capture members of the Jedi Order in compromising situations earned him celebrity status, and his producers went so far as to give him a regular, half-hour news show entitled Javis Tyrr Presents: The Jedi Among Us. In order to maintain his ratings, Tyrr began to stalk key members of the Jedi Order when they left the confines of the Jedi Temple, although most of his efforts focused on Jaina Solo. Unfortunately for the Jedi, Tyrr was able to be present at the Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition when Natua Wan experienced form of the Force psychosis and set loose the various creatures who were kept at the Grand Event Center, all in an attempt to eliminate a group of "imposters" who seemed to have taken over the bodies of the Solo family. Tyrr and his camera crew caught the events that transpired on video, giving him an exclusive recording of the chaos that followed. Tyrr's report then provided footage that had somehow been obtained from within the Jedi Temple, showing Seff Hellin in the custody of the Jedi Order. Although his rhetoric had been decidedly anti-Jedi, Javis Tyrr used this footage to attack Chief of State Natasi Daala, demanding to know why the Galactic Alliance was allowing the Jedi to continue to act outside of their mandate to serve the galaxy.

Wynn Dorvan then proposed an unusual idea to the Chief of State: force the prominent members of the Jedi Order to submit themselves to interviews with Tyrr, on the steps of the Jedi Temple, in order to explain what was happening and what they were going to do to prevent future incidents of violence among the younger Jedi Knights. Tyrr jumped at the chance to carry out the interviews, although he struggled to assert his control with several of the Jedi Masters. Master Cilghal, for instance, was so composed and dignified that Tyrr's barbed questions made him look like a simple fool, and combination of Master Tekli's unease and cute appearance made Tyrr look aggressive and demanding. It was later learned that Tyrr had obtained the footage of Seff Hellin from a specially-modified Lovolol cleaning droid that he had managed to sneak into the droid pool of the Jedi Temple. What few beings knew was that Tyrr had acquired the surveillance technology for the droid from Imperial Moff Drikl Lecersen, who was hoping to obtain incriminating evidence against Jagged Fel. Tyrr had directed the droid to follow Jaina Solo and Jagged Fel after the near-capture of Bazel Warv and Yaqeel Saav'etu, but Jaina discovered the droid and managed to take it captive before Tyrr could retrieve it. Tyrr demanded that the droid be returned to him, but Jaina calmly stated that the droid had been found in Jag's limousine, which was technically the property of the Imperial Remnant, making the droid Imperial property.

Rather than admit that he had tried to sabotage the Jedi Order, Tyrr was forced to allow Jaina to take the droid away. Unfortunately, this meant that Tyrr had to report to Lecersen on the loss of the droid, although he glossed over that detail after showing Lecersen the footage. Tyrr also showed the Moff footage that he personally took, showing Reeqo and Melari Ruxon abandoning the Jedi Order on their own terms, stating that they refused to be part of an organization that was breaking the law. Tyrr admitted that this statement seemed to have been made to evade the Galactic Alliance Security forces that apprehended them, because he was later able to interview the two former Jedi. This interview revealed that the two beings had left the Order because they were not happy with the way Chief of State Daala was taking control of the Jedi.

In the days that followed, Tyrr and his camoperator were invited by Jaina Solo to follow the group of Jedi who visited the carbonite-frozen bodies of Valin and Jysella Horn at the prison facility hidden within a Galactic Alliance Storage center. When the group discovered that the Horn siblings were being displayed like trophies in the building's executive offices, Tyrr watched as Mirax Horn knocked Colonel Wruq Retk unconscious for his insolence. Rather than try to spin the story against the Jedi, however, Tyrr agreed with Jaina Solo to ask the acting Captain at the facility if the Galactic Alliance Security force would press charges against a woman who was clearly acting out of grief. The Captain stated that no charges would be lodged against Mirax Horn, at which time Chief of State Daala appeared at the facility. Tyrr continued on the offensive pressing Daala about the fact that she questioned the legality of the Jedis' presence at the facility, despite the fact that her own appointed judge, Arabelle Lorteli, had signed the writ that gave the Jedi the legal right to visit the facility. Daala backed down, and vowed to punish the officers who had kept the Horn siblings separated from the rest of the prisoners. (FJ2, FJ3)

Umbrag
This Skakoan was a member of the Techno Union, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Umbrag served as the Overseer of the Separatist installation on the planet Kynachi, including the overhauling of the KynachTech Industries factory to serve as a droid and weapons manufacturing center. About a year after the Battle of Geonosis, Overseer Umbrag was alerted to the presence of a Jedi-led task force on Kynachi. Ring-Sol Ambase and his Padawan, Nuru Kungurama, were working with clone troopers to investigate the appearance of KynachTech circuitry among the wreckage of the Separatist warship Malevolence. Overseer Umbrag was made aware of Master Ambase's arrival by Cad Bane, who had been hired by Darth Sidious to apprehend and eliminate the Jedi. However, the Separatists were unprepared for the appearance of Kungurama, nor were they ready for the droid known as Cleaver, which eliminated large numbers of Separatist battle droids before closing in on Umbrag's position. Overseer Umbrag tried to back away and make his escape, but a misstep made him fall off a gantry. Umbrag then made his way to a hidden office near the hangar where his Metalorn yacht was waiting. Once in the safety of his office, Umbrag opened a communication channel to Count Dooku, demanding to know why he was now facing two Jedi. Dooku seemed briefly confused, but then ordered Umbrag to destroy the entire factory complex while the Jedi were still inside. Umbrag balked at this, since he had spent years getting the factory ready for operation, but decided it was best to follow Dooku's orders. Overseer Umbrag set off the self-destruct mechanism, then fled Kynachi in his yacht. (SM1)

Unit 8826
This was the designation of one of the Separatist battle droids that was dispatched to the surface of Ukio, during the height of the Clone Wars, as part of Project Instinction. Unit 8826 was cut down by Tyzen Xebec and Sanya, two young Jedi students who were on the planet as part of the Republic's task force to confront the Separatist forces. Sanya then took Unit 8826's STAP and set off to make sure other Republic troopers were not being affected by the sonic disturbances that were being created on the planet. (CWOC2)

Urus, Doge
This Dug was the leader of a group of Dugs that were native to the planet Malastare, and pledged their support for the Galactic Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Doge Urus had planned to work with the governing council of Dugs to provide the Republic with access to fuel refineries that were maintained on Malastare, but needed more than the assurances of Jedi Master Mace Windu to know that the Republic was committed to protecting the Dugs from Separatist forces. Chancellor Palpatine authorized the use of a new weapon, the electro-proton bomb, to wipe out the droid army on Malastare, but the resulting explosion also exposed a long-dormant zillo beast. Doge Urus demanded that the beast be destroyed, but Jedi Master Windu refused to allow the creature to be eliminated. Doge Urus threatened to withdraw his support for the Republic unless the creature was destroyed, and the Jedi eventually carried through with their attack on the creature. Once the beast was removed from Malastare, Doge Urus and the Dug council signed a treaty with the Republic that allowed Republic warships to acquire fuel on Malastare. (CWTV40)

V-10
This was the designation of the valet droid that was assigned to the Chief of State of the Imperial Remnant, Jagged Fel, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. (FJ3)

Valanti, Karn
This man was a friend of Jagged Fel, and often served as Jag's double during the years following the Swarm War, whenever the Imperial Chief of State needed to stay out of public view. Jag referred to Valanti by the codename Carved, which referred to the fact that he was a perfect decoy. Valanti's physical appearance was quite close to Jag's, but it was his ability to mimic Jag's movements that made him a valuable ally. (FJ2)

Valet Droid
This was a generic term used to describe any automaton that was designed and programmed to serve as an assistant to an organic being. These could be as simple as baggage droids at a spaceport, or dedicated servants that saw to their owners' personal needs. (NEGD, FJ3)

Valley of Dark Lords
see Valley of the Dark Lords (FJ3)

Vansyn
This man served on the Empire's Moff Council, during the years following the Second Galactic Civil War. Moff Vansyn was one of the many allies of Moff Lecersen, and both men felt that Imperial Chief of State Jagged Fel was not an ideal leader for the Empire. Like Lecersen, Vansyn established a residence on Coruscant, in order to be closer to the dealings of the Galactic Alliance. (FJ2)

Venom-mite
This vicious creature was native to the planet Draboon. (CWTV35)

Veq-Headley Battery
This was one of the many tests that were part of the Imperial Corrections Psychological Profile Exam. The Vew-Headley Battery was designed to identify any psychopathological attitudes in a being's mental make-up, with a focus on locating those traits that might be useful to the Empire. (SWDT)

Vesek
This man was one of the many corrections officers who served under Captain Jareth Sartoris aboard the prson barge Purge, about a year before the Battle of Yavin. When the Purge experienced problems with its thrusters and was stranded in the Unknown Regions, ICO Vesek, along with Austin and Armitage, were assigned to a task force led by Sartoris to investigate the presence of an abandoned Star Destroyer in their vicinity. The hope was that drive components from the larger ship could be salvaged to help repair the Purge. During the search, Vesek was the third man to begin experiencing strange symptoms, including a rattling cough that first appeared in ICO Austin. Upon returning to the Purge, Vesek and several others who exhibited the same symptoms were sent to the infirmary. Vesek suffered a massive seizure, then violently vomited up blood before settling down. Upon returning to the Purge, Vesek was placed in a quarantine bubble after Austin died from his illness. This put Sartoris at a disadvantage, because Vesek had been charged with maintaining the launch codes for the ship's escape pods. Sartoris spent many hours sitting beside the quarantine bubble, waiting for Vesek to awaken enough to give him the codes. When Vesek failed to regain consciousness, Sartoris tried to pinch his nose closed, hoping to jolt Vesek into a moment of lucid thought. However, Vesek suffocated and died because of Sartoris, and Sartoris walked away from the body, rationalizing his actions by claiming that Vesek would have died eventually. (SWDT)

Vizsla, Pre
This Mandalorian served as the Governor of Concordia, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. About a year after the Battle of Geonosis, Governor Vizsla was visited by Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalore, who accompanied Obi-Wan Kenobi to the moon, as part of an investigation into rumors that thousands of Mandalorians were massing into an army that could threaten the Galactic Republic. The Duchess and Kenobi brought with them the body of a Death Watch terrorist who killed himself after bombing the Peace Park in the city of Sundari, and Vizsla wasted no time in taking possession of the body and whisking it away. At a dinner that evening, Vizlsa refused to acknowledge the presence of the Death Watch on Concordia, and suggested that any surviving members might be receiving funding from the Separatists, as part of a plot to discredit the Duchess and strike at the Republic. When the Duchess excused herself from dinner, Vizsla had her followed, and later discovered that she was working with Kenobi to carry out a secret investigation on Concordia. Vizsla then revealed that he was actually the leader of the Death Watch, and confronted Kenobi while wielding an ancient darksaber that had been stolen from a Jedi many generations before. Although he was physically strong, Vizsla was not match for Kenobi's skills with a lightsaber, and Vizsla was forced to flee. He returned to his hidden base of operations to report on the situation to Count Dooku, and he was later contacted by Senator Tal Merrik, who had managed to kidnap Duchess Satine. Vizsla was able to alert Separatist forces near the Duchess's starship, the Coronet, and a boarding party was sent to capture her. However, the Jedi and the Duchess's guards were able to destroy the battle droids that boarded the ship, and Satine was able to reach Coruscant and plead her case. Vizsla was not thwarted by this, however, and he dispatched Mandalorian snipers and assassins to eliminate her. Their failure gave Vizsla reason to worry, because Duchess Satine knew too much about his plans to take over Mandalore. His worry turned to anger when the Republic's proposed military occupation of Mandalore was called off after evidence failed to support it, but Dooku ordered him to stand down and await further orders. (CWTV34, CWTV35, CWTV36, SWI116)

Vol, Darish
This Sith Master served as the Grand Lord of The Tribe, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. An imposing man whose bald head was at once ancient and handsome, Darish Vol was the strongest Sith Lord of his generation. When the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship arrived on Kesh, it forged an immediate bond with Vestara Khai, prompting a meeting of the Circle of Lords to discuss what to do. When Lady Olaris Rhea stood up for Vestara and asked her to explain what had happened between herself and Ship, the Grand Lord was forced to accept Vestara's words as the truth. He also acknowledged that Lady Rhea had formally chosen Vestara as an Apprentice, although Lady Rhea had made no such announcement. In a later meeting, Lord Vol called Vestara to join them in discussing the reasons why Ship had appeared on Kesh. Ship explained that the Sith on Kesh were needed to help restore the Sith to prominence in the galaxy. Although Ship explained that the Sith on Kesh were the only surviving members of their kind, Lord Vol realized that the unusual vessel was the key to leaving Kesh and restoring the Tribe to power. He demanded that Ship teach the Tribe about the rest of the galaxy, so that the Sith could rise up and conquer other worlds. Over the two years that followed, the Sith prepared themselves to leave Kesh and begin their conquest of the galaxy. Their plans were briefly interrupted when Lady Rhea and Vestara both experienced an intense wave of energy through the Force, which Ship explained had been created by Luke Skywalker, the exiled Grand Master of the Jedi Order. Lord Vol and Lady Rhea then put together a task force to confront Skywalker, although they were opposed by Yuvar Xal, who questioned the logic behind sending a single team against the Grand Master. Any further argument was cut off when Ship decided to leave the Tribe and head off on its own, answering the call of an even stronger presence that seemed to exist near the Maw cluster of black holes. (FJ2, FJ3)

Vor'shandi
This was the term used by the Sith who were stranded on the planet Kesh to describe the ritualized markings and tattoos that were applied to students and adepts who achieved certain ranks within The Tribe. These facial markings were painted onto the skin with a brush that was dipped in the thick nectar of the s'rai plant, and each set of markings was chosen for its significance to the wearer. The artists who applied the vor'shandi markings trained for years under their Masters, learning how to draw upon the Dark Side of the Force to provide each set of markings with ritual power and significance. Vor'shandi markings were usually applied to the face and arms, but were applied with s'rai nectar so that they could be washed off after important ceremonies and events, allowing the Sith to return to their natural beauty afterward. (FJ2)

Voxel
This was the term used to describe any of the thousands of light-generating segments of a three-dimensional video unit. Voxels were arranged both vertically and horizontally, so that a device's display resolution could be measured by the number of voxels in a given horizontal or vertical line. (SWDT)

Wahlo, Lauli
This Quarren, distinguished by the blue-glowing cybernetic replacement in his right eye socket, owned and operated a noodle shop in the G17 district of Coruscant's Galactic City, during the final years of the Old Republic. Lauli Wahlo and his partner, Jan Dez, were also known to the denizens of the G17 district as fences for stolen merchandise. The pair provided information on the location of Bannamu to Ahsoka Tano and Tera Sinube, during the height of the Clone Wars. (CWTV33)

Walking Garden
This wondrous, open-air garden was located in Fellowship Plaza, on the planet Coruscant, during the years that followed the Swarm War. The Walking Garden connected the Temple Court of the Jedi Order to the main plaza. (FJ3)

Wallscope
This was a term coined by PsiCor when it introduced surveillance technology that could be used to "see" through a variety of barriers. Developed for military use, wallscopes were capable of penetrating the density of materials like durasteel, but they could also overcome the one-way aspects of mirrfields and other visibility-distorting technologies. This technology was introduced shortly after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, and its steep price tag kept all but the wealthiest of governments from obtaining it. Despite its value to surveillance crews, the PsiCor wallscope did have certain drawbacks, not the least of which was its flash-damping technology, which often led to overly bright display images that could damage the retinas of any being looking through it. (FJ3)

Walusari, Baad
This Keshiri was among the many who passed through the Presentation ritual and ascended to the ranks of the Sith Lords who dominated the planet Kesh, during the years that followed the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War. Baad Walusari was part of the mission that was dispatched by Grand Lord Darish Vol to locate the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship, after it fled Kesh for the Maw cluster of black holes. Walusari served under Lady Olaris Rhea, and was placed in command of the warship Eternal Crusader when Lady Rhea and a small team investigated a small planetoid where Ship was believed to have set down. Walusari was chosen for the command position over Master Yuvar Xal, in order to preserve Lady Rhea's position of power aboard the ship during her absence. While Lady Rhea and the others were on the planetoid, Walusari and the other Sith were able to track Ship's movements whenever it moved above the jungle canopy, giving them regular reports on Ship's movements. The search party experienced several setbacks, until each of the Eternal Crusader's shuttle had been brough to the surface, leaving the ship unmanned. When the last shuttle was destroyed while searching for Ship, Vestara Khai realized that the Sith were being controlled by the Force presence known as Abeloth. She urged Lady Rhea to see through Abeloth's words, and they were eventually able to take control of Ship and return the Sith to the Eternal Crusader. Walusari was teamed with Vestara to watch over Lord Yuvar Xal and his Apprentice, Ahri Raas, to ensure that Lady Rhea remained in command of the Sith forces, as they set out to locate Luke Skywalker. Their fears were realized on Sinkhole Station, where Lord Xal and his Apprentice set out to kill Lady Rhea and Vestara, while capturing the Skywalkers for themselves. This plan backfired when Vestara managed to kill Lord Xal, and Ahri Raas was killed by a lightsaber. With the Skywalkers new alerted to the presence of the Sith, Walusari and the others tried to pin the two Jedi down. Ben Skywalker managed to use the Force to deflect the grenades Walusari tried to throw at him, and the explosion slammed a hatch across one of Walusari's arms, bending it at an impossible angle before crushing it. (FJ3)

Wan, Natua
This female Falleen was one of the many Jedi Knights who served the galaxy, during the years that followed the Second Galactic Civil War. Natua was distinguished by the blue beads that she often wove into her long hair. Natua was one of two Jedi Knights, along with Radd Minker, 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 early time they spent at the event passed without trouble, Natua suddenly experienced a mental shift, and she believed that Allana was not who she said she was. Natua believed that an imposter had been substituted in Allana's place, which led her to the realization that Valin and Jysella Horn had been right in their descriptions of dopplegangers taking the planet of the Jedi Knights. As this form of Force psychosis progressed, Natua attempted to reach the Grand Event Center's main control room, where she could open the cages of the creatures on display. She hoped that the panic that would be created would allow her to destroy the false Allana. Unfortuantely, Natua also believed that everyone in the control room were also imposters, and she knockeded them all violently unconscious in order to gain access to their systems. When she found herself being chased by Jaina Solo, Natua began to use a Forec technique that allowed her to throw her voice, giving Jaina false clues about her actual location. Jaina realized that this was one of many techniques that her brother, Jacen Solo, had learned before he turned to the Dark Side of the Force and became Darth Caedus. Natua was too engaged with Jaina to recognize that Radd Minker was sneaking up on her, and the Brubb was able to knock her unconscious before Natua could do any more harm.

Although reporters were able to document the events that occurred, Jaina was able to return to the Jedi Temple with Natua's inert form, hoping to prevent the Galactic Alliance from taking her prisoner and encasing her in carbonite, as they had done with Valin and Jysella Horn. Under the watchful eyes of Jedi Masters Cilghal and Tekli, Natua was kept in a guarded cell within the Jedi Temple's Asylm Block, where she was cut off from the Force. Like Seff Hellin, Natua exhibited all the signs of withdrawal that were common among drug addicts, prompting the two Masters to come to the conclusion that Natua had become addicted to the Force. Further investigation revealed that Natua and Seff, along with the Horn siblings, had once been kept safe at the Shelter base near the Maw, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong War. (FJ2, FJ3)

Waste
This was the nickname used by Zahara Cody to describe the 2-1B medical droid that assisted her aboard the Imperial Prison Barge Purge, about a year before the Battle of Yavin. The nickname stemmed from the comments of several crew members, who claimed that the droid was both a waste of space and a waste of programming. Waste had originally been programmed at the Rhinnal State Medical Academy, and often cited his programming as superior to that of Cody and other sentient medical personnel. However, Waste found that it benefitted greatly from additional programming that was performed by Cody, including training that made the droid capable of carrying out complex procedures in her place. When the Purge experienced engine trouble and an engineering crew was dispatched to a derelict Star Destroyer to salvage parts, the crew returned with a strange affliction that caused a hacking cough, which was followed by vomiting and violent seizures, and death followed within a few hours. It was Waste who discovered that the strange affliction seemed to only attack a new host after it had infected the host and reproduced in sufficient numbers that the host was unable to counteract its presence. Together, Waste and Cody managed to isolate the contagion and develop an anti-virus. Cody then went to the bridge to determine how many survivors were still alive on the ship. In her absense, Waste was left alone when the dead bodies held at the infirmary suddenly came back to life. In a mindless rage, the reanimated corpses destroyed the medical droid, leaving it in pieces on the floor. Cody found Waste in this condition when she returned, and the droid's damaged central processor was only able to speak gibberish about the events that had transpired. Waste did manage to explain that the corpses had come back to life and were feeding on anything they could find, although Cody had to decipher the droid's words from the other incoherent words. (SWDT)

Watcher
This was the code name used by young Boba Fett to describe Aurra Sing, during his attempt to infiltrate the clone training program of the Grand Army of the Republic an avenge the death of his father, Jango Fett, during the height of the Clone Wars. (CWTV42)

Weeze
This obese Rodian worked for the Galactic Alliance Storage corporation, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Sergeant Weeze and his partner, Rosii, were on duty when Jaina Solo arrived at the secret prison facility they were guarding, on a mission to see Valin and Jysella Horn. Weeze tried to prevent Solo and her fellow Jedi, including Masters Saba Sebatyne and Corran Horn, from entering the facility, claiming that it was nothing more than a storage center, and his stall tactics allowed a group of Galactic Alliance Security forces arrive to back the Rodians up. (FJ3)

Wembly
This man served as an Imperial Corrections Officer aboard the prison barge Purge, more than a year before the Battle of Yavin. An overweight man in his mid-fifties, ICO Wembly was known among the prisoners aboard the ship as a man who upheld the rules while remaining on a friendly basis. He was usually seen in the company of a BLX labor droid that had somehow decided that Wembly was its best friend. It was Wembly who relayed to Kale and Trig Longo that Aur Myss had placed a ten-thousand-credit bounty on their heads, after Kale damaged Myss' face in an altercation. When the Purge experienced engine trouble and an engineering crew set out to salvage parts from a derelict Star Destroyer discovered near their location, it was feared that an unknown contagion had been transported back to the barge from the other ship. Wembly and his peers were ordered to don environmental suits, so that they did not inadvertently transfer the contagion to the prisoners. Unfortunately, Wembly had already contracted the infectious contagion, and he died within a few hours. When he expired, Wembly was at the monitoring station, and with his last ounce of strength he opened the locks on the detention cells, in case any of the prisoners were able to make their way to freedom. (SWDT)

Wevil
This Kynachi man and his friend, Namnats, tried to harass Nuru Kungurama and the clone troopers who supported him after they crash-landed on the planet Kynachi, during the height of the Clone Wars. Nuru and the clones were posing as unemployed farmers, prompting Wevil and Namnats to confront them and warn them that farmers were not necessarily welcome in their town. (SM1)

White
This man was one of the few survivors of the Star Destroyer crew that was infected with the strange contagion that was developed as part of the Blackwing operation, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. White and Commander Gorrister rounded up a small group of crewmen who were immune to the contagion, and they managed to hide within the fuselage of a Sentinal-class shuttle while the rest of the crew was killed by the contagion and then re-animated. In order to survive, Gorrister and the others drew lots to see who would be cannibalized to ensure the continued survival of the others. They had been inside the shuttle fo ten weeks when they were discovered by Captain Jareth Sartoris of the prisone barge Purge. Sartoris refused to become their next meal, and killed Gorrister and threw several others to the re-animated corpses, hoping to use the distraction to break from the shuttle and deactivate the Star Destroyer's tractor beam. White was still in the shuttle when Sartoris left, and agreed to do his best to get the shuttle up and running so that they could make their escape. While starting the shuttle, White picked up a distress call from Doctor Zahara Cody, who had also boarded the Star Destroyer after escaping from the Purge. He left the shuttle and went to locate her, and managed to get her to safety before an explosion rocked the ship. White was crushed beneath a huge piece of machinery, but he died knowing that he had managed to save someone else. With his last breath, White explained to Doctor Cody that a stranger had saved him, so it was fitting that he had saved her. (SWDT)

Will, The
This was the term used by the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship to describe the all-encompassing entity that commanded Ship to leave the planet Kesh and travel to the Maw cluster of black holes, some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War.

Wiriest, Heckle
This was the false name used by clone trooper Breaker as the being who was Jedi Master Ring-Sol Ambase's Padawan student. Breaker used the name when he, Chatterbox, and Knuckles landed on the planet Kynachi with a blue-skinned youth who claimed to be Master Ambase's apprentice. When the youth explained that he knew nothing of a Heckle Wiriest, and that his real name was Nuru Kungurama, Breaker knew that the boy was really who he claimed to be. Breaker took the name from a bag of Heckle Wiriest Fertilizer that was near their landing site on Kynachi. (SM1)

Workan
A native of the planet Kesh, this man was one of the Sith Lords who served on the Circle of Lords, during the years that followed the Swarm Wars. Lord Workan was among the many who questioned Vestara Khai, after she was able to make a connection with the Sith meditation sphere known only as Ship. (FJ2)

This was the Basic translation of the Aing-Tii phrase that was used to describe Jorj Car'das, during the time he spent among the Aing-Tii. (FJ2)

Xal, Yuvar
This man was one of the many Sith Lords who were descendants of the crew of the Omen, and who evolved on the planet Kesh. Xal was distinguished by his sharp facial features, which distracted from his otherwise handsome appearance. Many believed that Xal's features held him back from advancing among the Lords of the Tribe, but few chose to underestimate him. During the years following the Second Galactic Civil War, Master Xal took a young Keshiri boy named Ahri Raas to be his Apprentice. At the time, Xal was the chief rival to Lady Olaris Rhea for power within the Circle of Lords, and chose Raas as his Apprentice to pit the youth against Vestara Khai. Khai and Raas were childhood friends, and Khai had been chosen as Lady Rhea's Apprentice after she was able to communicate with the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship. Over time, Xal had hoped to use Raas as a way to gain knowledge and insights into Lady Rhea's actions and plans, but neither Raas nor Khai allowed their childhood friendship to interfere with their training. Thus, Lord Xal became increasingly disappointed with Raas as an Apprentice, despite Ahri's talents with the Force, because he learned nothing that might have given him an advantage over Lady Rhea.

When Grand Lord Darish Vol interrupted the Tribe's plans to overtake the galazy to send a task force to capture or eliminate the exiled Grand Master of the Jedi Order, Luke Skywalker, Lord Xal questioned the tactical soundness of a plan that pitted a single strike team against a Grand Master. Lady Rhea explained that Skywalker's presence in the Force indicated that he was traveling alone, and was a long distance from Skywalker and the rest of the Jedi Order. Although Xal could not question Lady Rhea's claims, he silently seethed at having been excluded from the preparations. The situation changed dramatically when Vestara Khai suddenly reported that Ship had fled from Kesh without an explanation. Grand Lord Vol scrapped the Skywalker mission and sent Lady Rhea and the Eternal Crusader to follow Ship and return it to Kesh. Lord Xal was named to serve as Lady Rhea's executive officer on the mission, which placed him in position to take over the mission in the event that Lady Rhea could not fulfill her orders. Xal longed for the chance to surpass her in the unstated ranks of the Sith, but could only bide his time until she made a mistake that would allow him to rightfully eliminate her.

When the Sith tracked Ship to a jungle-covered planetoid, Lord Xal decided to take matters into his own hands. Knowing that Grand Lord Vol would handsomely reward the Sith who recaptured Ship, Lord Xal set out on his own, following Ship to a remote cave. However, Xal was unaware of the strange plants and creatures that were inhabiting the cave, and he was quickly captured and cocooned in a silk-like webbing by one of the creatures. When he didn't return, Ahri Raas reporting on Lord Xal's actions to Lady Rhea, and a search party eventually found his cocooned body in the cave. Lord Xal was freed from the cocoon, but his body was weakened from the toxins that had been injected into his bloodstream. He recovered slowly, but his reduced strength allowed the Force presence known as Abeloth to insinuate itself into his life. Abeloth began to urge Lord Xal to take command of the Sith forces, promising him power when he returned to Kesh. Abeloth's urgings became more strident when the Sith discovered the presences of Luke and Ben Skywalker near the planetoid, until Lady Rhea managed to break herself out of Abeloth's thrall. Lady Rhea then ordered Ship to carry the surviving Sith back to the Eternal Crusader, and to prepare for a mission to eliminate the Skywalkers. Freed of Abeloth's control, Lord Xal was one of the first Sith to embrace Lady Rhea's plan, although many of Lady Rhea's supporters worried that Xal's enthusiasm was merely a ruse.

Their fears were realized when, upon arriving at Sinkhole Station, Xal and Raas attacked Lady Rhea and Vestara, rather than going after the Skywalkers. Lord Xal himself rushed at Lady Rhea's Apprentice, Vestara Khai, hoping to take her out of the fight. However, Vestara had anticipated his treachery, and was able to draw her shikkar and send it straight into Lord Xal's abdomen, where she broke off the blade and left him to die. Xal bellowed in pain and frustration, which distracted Ahri Rass long enough for someone to kill him with a lightsaber. (FJ2, FJ3)

Xanda
This blond-haired man served as a Captain in the Galactic Alliance Security force, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Captain Xanda served under Colonel Wruq Retk at the secret prisoner facility where Valin and Jysella Horn were being incarcerated, after they were captured while acting violently in public. When Mirax Horn and a group of Jedi Masters arrived to visit the Horn siblings, they were amazed to find their carbonite-frozen bodies being displayed like trophies in Retk's officers. When Retk sarcastically explained that he was personally seeing to their maintenance, Mirax struck him in the jaw, knocking the Yaka unconscious. Javis Tyrr questioned Xanda, who was the next in line of command, if the Galactic Alliance would press charges against a distraught woman, and Xanda was forced to admit that no charges would be filed.

Zillo Beast
This ancient creature was believed to have been wiped out by the Dugs who evolved on the planet Malastare, many generations before the onset of the Clone Wars. Dug histories revealed that the zillo beast had once been the apex predator on Malastare, until the Dugs learned the secret to killing them. The Dugs discovered the zillo beast when they began to mine the planet's core for fuel, and the creatures were able to reach the surface and wreak havoc on the Dugs. Eventually, the Dugs thought they had exterminated the zillo beasts, and became the predominant species on the planet. Zillo beasts were immense reptiles that were covered with thick, armor-like scales that made their bodies all but impenetrable. The long, supple body and limbs of the zillo beast were protected by overlapping scales, most of which were studded with short spikes to further protect the creature. The serpentine head of the creature was dominated by glowing, green eyes, and was connected to the body by a long neck. A pair of nostrils sat atop the beast's skull, allowing it to breath even when buried beneath the ground. The zillo beast had three arms, with the third arm sprouting from the center of its back, and two legs. Every limb was capable of bending along its entire length, and each hand or foot was tipped with three long fingers that allowed the creature to grasp objects and gave it stability when moving. The tail of the zillo beast was tipped with several heavy spikes that could be smashed into an object or other beast.

Modern-day Dugs believed that the zillo beast was a specter of their past, until the Battle of Malastare occurred during the height of the Clone Wars. The Galactic Republic attempted to wipe out a Separatist droid army using an electro-proton bomb, and although the weapon destroyed the electrical systems of the droids, it also created a massive, seismic disturbance that opened a huge sinkhole in the crust of Malastare. This sinkhole exposed a long-dormant zillo beast, which emerged to attack whatever it encountered. The Dugs, under the leadership of Doge Urus, wanted to kill the beast as their ancestors had done. Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker tried to stop the zillo beast, but found that even his lightsaber could not penetrate the creature's armored scales. However, he did notice that the overlapping scales of the zillo beast exposed the soft tissue underneath, whenever they were spread apart as the creature moved. Taking advantage of this, he was able to convince Jedi Master Mace Windu to fire energy weapons at the gaps in the zillo beast's scales. The individual blasts from the weapon were not injurious to the creature, but the combined effect of all the blasts weakened the zillo beast to the point that it could no longer remain conscious.

This allowed the Republic's forces to claim that they had killed the zillo beast, calming the fears of the Dugs as they carried the beast away from Malastare. However, the creature still lived, and was taken to a Coruscant laboratory for further investigation. Once placed in a special facility, the zillo beast was further investigated by Doctor Sionver Boll, who hoped to learn something about its armor plating and other defenses that could be applied to the Republic's war effort. Chancellor Palpatine quickly grew frustrated with her lack of progress, and ordered her to kill the beast in order to cut into its scales and gain insights into its bodily systems. The attempt to kill the beast failed, and instead simply enraged the creature, which broke free and began to terrorize Galactic City. Doctor Boll urged the Republic's forces not to kill the creature, since it had demonstrated a certain of intelligence that manifested as an awareness of Palpatine's presence. However, the creature proved to be too dangerous, and clone troopers fired canisters of toxic gases into the creature's mouth. Unable to breath oxygen, the zillo beast eventually died, but Palpatine again ordered its body to be taken to a secure location, where he hoped it could be cloned for further investigation.

Zin, Axela
This woman, distinguished by the yellow-tan coloration of her skin, was a member of the Tribe, and a descendant of the ancient Sith Lords who crash-landed on the planet Kesh. During the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, Axela Zin was assigned to the crew of the warship Eternal Crusader, serving under Lady Olaris Rhea. When Grand Lord Darish Vol ordered them to follow the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship to the Maw cluster, Axela was chosen to be part of the small strike team that tracked Ship to a small, jungle-covered planetoid. Lady Rhea ordered anyone who found Ship's location to report it immediately, and do everything in their power to keep Ship from leaving. Axela was among several Sith Sabers who chose to use Force-augmented jumps to clear a river that was blocking their path, but their landing triggered a nearby tree to attack them. Axela was impaled by several thorny boughs as the carnviorous tree believed that she was either predator or prey. However, the tree reacted much faster that Axela could maneuver, and it soon wrapped more boughs and vines around her body, killing her as it punctured body over and over. Axela was survived by a son who was in training as a Sith Tyro. Lady Rhea ordered Vestara Khai to keep a record of Axela's death, so that news of her sacrifice could be delivered to the son. Lady Rhea also commanded that a Master be chosen for the son upon their return. (FJ3)
