Oblique Maneuvers could be performed by a single line of walkers, or by double lines. In the double-line formation, the forward group was made up from AT-ST scout walkers that broke through an enemy line. The trailing group of AT-AT walkers then used their superior firepower to pound the retreating enemy force. (WBC)

Oblis
It was believed that this jungle-covered world was once the home planet of the Oblee race, until they were enslaved by the Sith darkstaff. It was later learned that the Oblee had been under attack from a shadowy creature of malevolent intent, and that the Priests of Nether were using the Darkstaff to drive the creature away. In order to power the Darkstaff, the Oblee priests channeled the life-energies of every Oblee into the weapon. Over time, this caused a tremendous imbalance in the Force, and the Darkstaff destroyed the planet, rendering the Oblee a homeless race of spirits that became known as the shadow lurkers. The debris from the destruction of Oblis, which once occupied the fifth orbital position in the Cularin System, became the primary component in the formation of the Cularin Asteroid Belt. One area of the planet was dominated by a vast plain that sat at the foot of massive, graceful range of crystalline mountains. These mountains were crowned by three huge peaks, and it was into these peaks that the Oblee channeled their life-energies into blasts from the Darkstaff that were used to defend Oblis from attack by a strange, shadowy creature. Each blast of energy drove the shadowy creature away, but it continued to return. (LFCW, BIT3)

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

Obredaan
This planet was the site of a hidden, cortosis-ore mining operation established by the Jin'ha, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. The Jedi Council discovered the operation while investigating the Black Heth and its ties to the Jin'ha. Eeth Koth and Plo Koon were sent to Obredaan to investigate, but were captured. They were later rescued by Obi-Wan Kenobi. Some ten years after the end of the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, representatives from Obredaan joined the growing number of planets who openly opposed the formation of the Galactic Alliance Guard. (SWI59, LF2)

Obrim, Jaller
This man served on the Senate Guard during the height of the Clone Wars, and was part of the team that was dispatched to guard the Senate Rotunda and its access points. He had spent twenty-eight years with the Senate Guard before he was assigned to a liaison role with the Coruscant Security Force, working with the local police to ensure the safety of the various Senators and dignitaries on Coruscant. Obrim was the officer in charge of the attempt to free Senator Meena Tills and a group hostages captured from the Galactic City Spaceport, although he was forced to work with the clone commandos of Omega Squad during the operation. He developed a rapport with Kal Skirata the clone commandos, and was able to work well with them. Many of the clones felt that Obrim was perhaps the closest non-Mandalorian friend Skirata had. Obrim was later named the chief of the Anti-Terrorist Unit of the Coruscant Security Force.

Like the men that served under him, Obrim was grateful for the efforts of the clone commando known as Fi, who saved one of his units from a bomb by laying on top of it when it exploded. Thus, when Obrim learned that Fi was in a coma, and that the medical staff of the Republic Central Medcenter were refusing to treat him, and that Besany Wennen was trying to get Fi out of the hospital, Obrim and his men quickly traveled to the facility to help rectify the situation. Obrim used what little clout he had to convince the staff that Fi was no longer their concern, despite the protests that the clone was still property of the government. Obrim then offered his own residence in Rampart Town as a place for Fi to stay until he recovered, a decision that his wife, Telti, understood but was not exactly comfortable with. In the months that followed, Jaller remained loyal to Skirata's comrades, and did what he could to cover up the death of Arbian Lemmeloth. When the command was issued to carry out Order 66, Jaller found himself facing the chaos that spilled out into the Coruscant streets. Despite his orders to report any Jedi he encountered, Jaller did his best to help Skirata and his people escape from Coruscant. He was unable to prevent the death of Etain Tur-Mukan, but agreed to keep an eye open for Niner and Darman in the months the followed. When Skirata refused to leave Coruscant, Jaller was forced to shoot him with a stunning blast, allowing Corr and Ordo to take Skirata and flee. Jaller then went to where Etain's body had fallen and made sure that she was eventually picked up by A'den. (SWI81, RCTZ, RCTC, RC66)

Obrim, Telti
This woman was married to Jaller Obrim, during the height of the Clone Wars. She and Jaller had two teen-aged sons during their marriage. During the First Battle of Coruscant, Telti had holed herself up in the couple's Rampart Town apartment to avoid any trouble. She was therefore surprised when Kal Skirata showed up, asking her to tell Jaller to move Laseema and the other women who had been helping Skirata to safety. Telti's surprise was even greater when Skirata handed her nine million credits to help Telti and Jaller get to safety during the chaos that would follow. (RCTC, RC66)

Obroa-skai
Primary planet in the Obroa-skai system, was holds a strategic position in the Borderlands. It had not aligned itself with either the Empire or the New Republic. The Obroans have created a huge repository of information from every corner of the galaxy, but its location and access methods were not given freely. Grand Admiral Thrawn raids the planet's central computer in order to determine the location of the planet Myrkr, as well as to spread the New Republic's forces thin prior to the Battle of Sluis Van. At the same time, Thrawn attacked an Elomin supply convoy that was passing near the planet. Its primary ecology was terrestrial, with vast tundras, frozen deserts, and tall mountains. Its day lasted 26 standard hours, and its years lasted 456 local days. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Obroa-skai was devastated in an unexpected attack by the aliens. The uncaring destruction of buildings, many of which were libraries and computer storage facilities, meant that the information stored there was lost, although hardcopies of certain references were smuggled out before the attack. The Yuuzhan Vong tried to decipher the information they found, but were unable to obtain accurately decrypted information. The alien invaders later installed a yammosk on the planet, using it to coordinate attacks on neighboring star systems. (HTTE, HTSB, HT, NECH, MF)

Obulette
This planet, located in Tapani Sector, was the capital world of House Mecetti. It orbitted a dim sun, which cast a reddish glow over the planet and kept it blanketed in perpetual twilight. Much of the planet's wealth came from orbital shipyards which were smaller than those on Tallaan, but were nonetheless successful. Most of the planet's landmass was covered with urbanized cities, while the natural areas were dominated by ash-colored rock and shallow seas. (PGT, LOE)

Obvious Nirvana
This freighter attempted to dock with the space station Tatoo III, but was suddenly drawn to the station. The Obvious Nirvana crashed into the station, completely destroying both structures. It was later discovered that the station, built from native Tatooinian metals, had become a kind of magent, drawing the Obvious Nirvana to it. (GG7)

Occupation Council

Ocean
This battleship served as Supreme Commander Cha Niathal's flagship, during her tenure as the leader of the Galactic Alliance Defense Force, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Ocean was one of many warships that suffered from poor-quality cannon service packs during the Corellia-GA War, prompting Jacen Solo to step in an force the Galactic Alliance Procurement Center to address the problem. When Admiral Niathal assumed a position as Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance, command of the Ocean was turned over to Admiral Makin. During the Second Battle of Fondor, Admiral Makin ceded command of the ship to Admiral Niathal, who used the Ocean as her flagship, while Makin took command of the Sarpentia. Note that Legacy of the Force: Revelation indicates that the Ocean was a Destroyer. (LF2, LF5, LF8)

Ocean Harvesters

This restaurant was located in the floating city of Hikahi, on Calamari, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (FH1)

Oceke
This man was Benoni Ulte's great-grandfather, and was a member of the Ibhaan'I tribe of the planet Socorro. When the bounty hunter Trauger came to Socorro to locate a target in Cjaalysce'I, he threatened to kill Oceke's mother - and another woman every minute - until a tribesman agreed to act as his scout. Oceke was forced to join Trauger, but never forgot the other man's threats. Instead, it was Trauger who underestimated Oceke, for Oceke led them to Cjaalysce'I via a section of the northen desert which was dotted with pockets of deadly gases. Once within sight of the city, Trauger gave Oceke a blow to the head as payment and let Oceke behind. Shortly afterward, Trauger was killed by the deadly gases. Upon hearing of Oceke's bravery, the Socorrans named the deadly gas Trauger Gas. (BSS)

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

O-class
This was a term used by independent spacers to describe anything that was substandard or of minimal importance. (DN2)

Ocsinin
This race of near-humans was native to the planet Saclas. Thin-boned, the Ocsinin were known for their stark, white skin and jet-black, pupil-less eyes. (AIR)

Octuptarra
This unusual creature was native to the planet Skako. Its thin body was topped by a gas-filled head that was studded with eight eyes. The body was then supported by wispy limbs that the creature used to maneuver along the vines of the planet's forests and jungles. The unusual shape of the octuptarra became the basis for the design of the octuptarra droid. (SWDB)

Octuptarra Droid
This unusual combat droid was developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. These droids were named for the octuptarra, an unusual creature native to the planet Skako that provided the basic form of the droid. The body of the Octuptarra was a large sphere that sat atop rod-shaped body. From the midpoint of the rod sprouted four laser cannons. The entire droid walked along upright on three crab-like, segmented legs, with a total height of 3.6 meters. Swarms of these droids served as the advanced ground forces for the Separatists during the First Battle of Coruscant. Many of these towering, three-armed droids were also deployed to the planet Mygeeto, where they protected Separatist strongholds against attack. It was discovered that the octuptarra droid - also referred to as the tri-droid, because of its three-legged form - was best deployed at a distance, since the weaponry of the droid could not be targetted fast enough in close quarters. Because of this, a smaller, battle-droid-sized octuptarra was developed by the Techno Union, which was then armed with a chain-fed cannon that obtained its ammunition from a storage cell in the upper sphere. These droids were also sometimes called virus droids, as it was the octuptarra droid that delivered a clone-specific virus into battle early in the Clone Wars, in an attempt to use biological weapons against the Grand Army of the Republic. In the wake of the Clone Wars, the few Octuptarra droids that survived were found on the planet Uba IV, where they had been manufactured. The native Ubese continued to use them as combat droids. (OWS, CWC3, SWDB, NEGD)

Odae Ripp
This was the innermost planet of the Thaere System. The Thaereian Military maintained a large compound on the planet, during the Old Republic. A large contingent of Bothans settled on the planet's grassy plains, and became the system's primary information brokers. (LFCW)

Odala, Sheel
This brown-haired woman was an old acquaintance of Han Solo's, who he encountered again on Void Station some six months after the Battle of Yavin. They had met several years earlier, and their paths had crossed infrequently afterward. Sheel's luck had gone sour, and she was on Void Station hoping to change her situation. She didn't tell Han that she owed a large sum of credits to Jib Kopatha, the owner of Void Station. Thinking on her feet, Sheel decided that she could sell information on Han's relationship to the Alliance to Jib as payment for her debt. Her only condition was that Han would not be harmed, should Jib decide to wring more information from the smuggler. She met Han in the halls of the station, ostensibly for a tryst, but a group of Kopatha's Trandoshan thugs accompanied her to ensure Han didn't try to run. After Kopatha's interrogators threatened to kill Han, Sheel decided that she had better leave while she could. She tried to reach her ship, the Emerald Twilight, but was intercepted by Chewbacca. It was then that Sheel realized that she couldn't leave Han to be tortured, and worked with Chewie to free him. As they escaped from Void Station, Han asked Sheel to join the Alliance with him. She politely refused the offer, preferring to remain independent, but told Solo that they would meet again. The rendezvous came sooner than expected, when Sheel helped them escape from the Imperial escort that was bringing Darth Vader to Void Station. (SWEIA)

Odan
This husky, red-haired man was the leader of the rebel cell on Akurai Two during the height of the New Order. Later, he served the Alliance as a Colonel during the height of the Galactic Civil War. While on Akuria Two, Odan and his forces were able to befriend the Snow Demons who lived there, eventually gaining the massive creatures as Allies. Odan and his rebels were nearly captured by Imperial stormtroopers, but managed to escape. Their war sled was taken, however, and an Imperial officer posing as Colonel Odan nearly captured Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, who had traveled to Akuria Two to meet with the real Odan. (PZZ2, MCI4)

Odann, Tanna
This being served as the Viceprex of the Corporate Sector Authority's Territory Administration section, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ10)

Odanni
This female Mon Calamari was the entrepreneur who built the Fathoms restaurant complex, located on Calamari's Wildwater City. A strong-willed perfectionist, Odanni was outwardly tolerant of her customers, but considered herself better than them and, in fact, resents having to serve them at all. She looked down on every other species, and even some members of her own. The only reason she went into the business of owning a restaurant was to make money and have power. (WSV)

Odan-Urr
A reptilian Jedi Master, Odan-Urr was a grey-skinned Draethos who was assigned to assist Empress Teta in securing the seven systems, and he was also given the task of being the watchman of the Koros System. Descended from a race of fierce predators, he communicated by telepathic means, contacting all his people through the Force, rather than speaking. Odan-Urr was trained by the ancient Master Ooroo, and was content to simply study the history of the Jedi and the Sith before being dispatched to the Empress Teta System. Note that Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force indicates that Odan-Urr was trained by Memit Nadill. It was Odan-Urr who had a vision of Marka Ragnos' death and the chaos that would result from it. He was taken to Coruscant by Empress Teta, in order for him to alert the Old Republic to the danger.

Unfortunately, the Republic ignored Odan-Urr's vision, claiming it was the delusion of an untrained Knight. Teta, however, was not as demeaning, and mustered her own armed forces to prepare for a Sith attack. Odan-Urr joined his own Master, Ooroo, in the defense of Kirrek against Naga Sadow's Dark Side forces. When the tide began turning to the Sith forces, Ooroo sacrificed himself to kill them off with the cyanogen atmosphere in which he lived. His dying words to his student were prophetic, telling the young Jedi that he would become one of the most ancient Jedi ever. Odan-Urr then stood by Empress Teta's side during the Great Hyperspace War, and assisted in the destruction of Naga Sadow's Sith Empire.

After searching the wreckage of Sadow's ship, he found the Sith Holocron and took it with him to Ossus, where he helped create the huge Jedi library there. Odan-Urr later presided over the Jedi Assemblies for more than 600 years prior to the assembly on Deneba to discuss the rising Dark Side tide and the Krath. It was Odan-Urr who taught Nomi Sunrider how to block another person from the Force. Odan-Urr later served as the Jedi keeper of antiquities, and came into possession of a rare Sith holocron. Much of his later life was spent delving into ancient texts and records, in an effort to discern the nature of the Jedi's relationship to the force. His possession of the dark holocron did not go unnoticed by Exar Kun, who killed Odan-Urr while stealing it. (DLS, TSW, GAS, FOSE, PJSB, NECH, EGF)

Odarr, Naftrat
This Sullustan worked as a research and development engineer at Cybot Galactica, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Originally a scientist with SoroSuub, Odarr was recruited to Cybot Galactica by a headhunter, and quickly made his mark when he developed the recon-PK droid. Also known as the R-PK or the rolo-droid, the recon-PK was a derivative of the standard PK-series droid. (SWDB)

Odd, Meeda
This was a distinguished Lannik individual. (UANT)

Odd Ball
This was the callsign of one of the clone trooper pilots who accompanied Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi into battle over Belderone, during the Clone Wars. When not on a mission, this clone was known by the name Davijaan. The mission to Belderone was aimed at capturing the leadership of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, in an effort to force Count Dooku to surrender and put an end to the Clone Wars. Odd Ball later served with Skywalker and Kenobi during the search for Asajj Ventress on Boz Pity, as well as the Battle of Coruscant. (LEV, O, IS3, SWI86)

Oddball

Oddo, Astri
This woman was the adopted daughter of Didi Oddo, and helped him maintain and operate the family cafe in the Senate district of Coruscant, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. Although she hated the fact that her father dealt equally with Senators and criminals, Astri herself was not above using whatever means necessary to keep the café running. She knew that her father's friend, Fligh, worked in the Senate Chamber, so she paid him to pass along hints about Didi's Café, in order to secure parties for the city's elite. However, Fligh was killed after stealing both two datapads: that of Senator Uta S'orn for Helb and that of Jenna Zan Arbor. As a result, the Oddo's found themselves pursued by a mysterious, Sorrusian bounty hunter. Astri was hurt in a struggle, but not seriously, shortly before the Oddo's fled to Duneeden. However, they were pursued by the bounty hunter there, and barely managed to escape with the help of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Astri herself was again wounded, this time seriously. Astri recovered, though, but Didi was hospitalized with a deadly disease which was linked to Arbor Industries. She helped Obi-Wan track down Jenna Zan Arbor in an effort to locate the cure to Didi's illness, and managed to recover the antidote from Zan Arbor's lab on Simpla-12.

Astri was forced to portray Ona Nobis, and pretended to bring in Obi-Wan in order to infiltrate the lab. She was forced to leave Obi-Wan behind, though, and return to Coruscant with the antidote, while Obi-Wan struggled to free Qui-Gon Jinn. Once Didi was out of danger, Astri set out to capture or kill Ona Nobis. The bounty hunter captured her instead, and used Astri as bait to try and capture Obi-Wan, but the young Jedi managed to evade the attempt. Calling on Cholly, Tup, and Weez, Astri set out to follow Ona Nobis, ending up on Belasco. There, she helped the Jedi captured Jenna Zan Arbor, but Ona Nobis was killed in battle with Obi-Wan. In the end, Astri returned to Coruscant to help her father restore Didi's Café to its former glory.

Years later, she married a homesteader and moved to the Outer Rim, after selling the café to Dexter Jettster. Her husband, Bog Divinian, earned an appointment to the board which handled the Galactic Games on the planet Euceron, five years after the Battle of Naboo. It was during this time that Astri became pregnant, and later gave birth to a son named Lune. Although his tenure was riddled with scandal, Bog managed to achieve his goal of becoming a Senator to the Old Republic, winning an election on Nuralee. Astri did her part to support her husband, joining several relief agencies in an effort to aid her adopted homeworld of Nuralee and present a helpful and humanitarian side of herself and her husband. She was even part of the planning committee established to create the All Planets Relief Fund. Despite her outward happiness, Astri couldn't reconcile Bog's machinations in the Senate. When Obi-Wan appealed to her for help, she explained that she could not assist him. When pressed for a reason, she revealed that Bog would take their son away from her if she helped the Jedi. In the turmoil that led up to the Clone Wars, Astri was able to finally escape from Bog, taking Lune with her when she fled to Samaria. There, she adopted the alias of Quintus Farel and was taken in my the Samarian Prime Minister, Aaren Larker. She was able to secure a job as a programmer, which allowed her access to the Platform-7 supercomputer, from which she tried to eliminate any data about herself or her son.

Bog Divinian, meanwhile, managed to arrange for to be inserted into the political structure of Samaria, knowing that he could locate his son and turn him over to the Empire. Astri found some unexpected friends in Ferus Olin and Trever Flume, who helped her escape from Samaria with Lune to the safety of Ferus' hidden asteroid base. Astri, however, refused to believe that she and Lune were truly safe, and agreed to accompany Clive Flax and the former Jedi Master Solace to Coruscant. There, they met with Dexter Jettster, hoping that the Besalisk could help them find a planet on which they could live in peace. Things were quite chaotic for several months, before Lune started his training with Ry-Gaul, and Astri agreed to help Clive Flax investigate the background of the freedom fighter known as Flame. After learning that Yarrow Industries was based on Niro 11, Astri suggested that she and Clive pose as husband and wife, in order to infiltrate the banks and acquire more information on the corporation. Their investigation led them to the Yarrow estate on Revery, where they were surprised to learn that Darth Vader himself was on Revery to meet with Eve Yarrow. This revelation confirmed that Yarrow was working with the Empire, and placed the security of their underground organization in jeopardy. After escaping from the Yarrow estate, they set a course for Coruscant.

It was during this trip that Astri realized she had become fond of Clive, and that their fates had somehow become intertwined. She no longer thought of him as a nuisance, but as a partner. She also realized that she had to fight back against the Empire in her own way, which meant causing as little bloodshed as possible. During a stop on their trip to Coruscant, Astri chose to simply force an Imperial spaceport officer into allowing them to leave, rather than shooting him in cold blood, in order to ensure they were able to sneak aboard Inquisitor Hydra's starship. After the learned that most of Moonstrike had been eliminated by Darth Vader, they feared the worst had happened to Lune. Thus, they were pleased to learn that he had been rescued by Ferus Olin. Clive and Astri agreed to raise Lune together, and also took in Trever Flume, after the young man's memories had been erased so that he could live out the rest of his life in safety. Little was known about what happened to the newly-formed family after this, although it was believed that Imperial forces eventually located their safe house and killed them in an aerial attack, although it was believed that Lune managed to escape.

Oddo, Didi
This chubby, diminutive man owned a cafe in the Senate District of the planet Coruscant, several years before the Battle of Naboo. He maintained the café with the help of his daugther, Astri. A likeable character, Didi had contacts in all levels of society, and was a close friend and informant to the Jedi Knights of the era. For many years, that was all the kept Didi going, since the food at the café was less than appealing. Didi accepted Astri's help in improving the food and the atmosphere. He was caught up in the events surrounding the death of his friend, Fligh, and the appearance of a strange and dangerous Sorrusian bounty hunter who tried to kill him. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi tried to help Did and Astri remain safe, including moving them to Duneeden temporarily. Didi had won a small place in the Cascardi Mountains in a sabacc match with Helb, so they decided to hole up there. However, the bounty hunter trailed them to Duneeden, and nearly succeeded in eliminating the Oddos. If Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan hadn't traveled to Duneeden themselves, Didi might have been killed instead of badly injured by the Sorrusian. Didi, however, sustained a wound which was laced with a poison engineered by Arbor Industries, and was only saved when Astri and Obi-Wan infiltrated Jenna Zan Arbor's lab on Simpla-12 and stole the antidote. Didi returned to Coruscant and reopened his café, with the help of Fligh and Astri. After many successful years, Didi retired when Astri married Bog Divinian and moved to the Outer Rim world of Nuralee. They sold the café to Dexter Jettster, who maintained it for many years. Didi himself spent much of his retirement looking after his grandson, Lune Divinian, before he passed away during the Clone Wars. (DH, EVE, TDR, JQ2, JQ9, LJ5)

Ode, Enja
This woman was a freelance freighter pilot who worked for the Jedi Knights of the Almas Academy, in the Cularin System, during the final years of the Old Republic. A pragmatic woman, Captain Ode went out of her way to ensure that there was minimal risk to any mission she undertook for the Almas Academy. Shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars, Captain Ode and her crew were on a regular run aboard the Seeker when they heard the distress signal from the crew of the Fricasseed Nerf, after the ship had been struck by a rogue comet. With the help of another group of freelance agents, Captain Ode and her crew were able to rescue the crew of the Fricasseed Nerf. The events set off an investigation into the accuracy of the data that was maintained by Cularin SpaceNav Control, which led to the discovery of The Big One, a comet that had been equipped with small engines and placed into a collision course with the planet Almas. Captain Ode piloted the Seeker on a breakneck run through the Cularin Comet Cloud, where she and a makeshift crew of freelance agents were able to finally divert the comet. (AYS)

Odell, Beuga
This heavy-set woman was one of Coruscant's wealthiest nightclub owners, during the last decades of the Old Republic. She was also one of the planet's most successful crimelords. Like Volven Roxe and Quetemoor, Beuga Odell made his fortune without the intervention of the Hutts. While her outward appearance was that of a sweet, old lady, Beuga would stop at nothing to maintain the security of her organization and expand it whenever the opportunity arose. She was involved in smuggling, gambling, and narcotics trafficking, and spent part of her time fighting against Quetemoor the Venerable and his Mugaari operation. She also worked hard to remain beneath the radar of Black Sun, thereby ensuring the continued survival of her operation. (CCW)

Odenji
This aquatic race was related to the Issori, and were also native to the planet Issor. The Odenji suffer from an intense sadness known as the melanncho, which was so strong it can make the sufferer go insane. The disease didn't affect the Issori, who came to be the dominant population on Issor. The Odenji differed from their cousins in several respects, mainly their breathing apparatus. Where the Issori had olfactory wrinkles in the place of a nose, the Odenji had four horizontal flaps of skin which provided the sense of smell. Their mouths were located beneath their chins, where the Issori mouth was located at the front of their face. After the devastating effect the melanncho had on their population, the Odenji allowed the Issori to manage their planetary colonies, but retained an equal representation within the Tribe of Odenji. (SWJ13)

Odfath, Patel
This Alliance operative was captured for the bounty on his head by Lu'daal-ud. At the time of his capture, Odfath was carrying several top-secret datafiles, which Lu'daal-ud acquired after the capture. The datafiles documented the working of the Alliance cells on Walin'or and Tierfon. (AIR)

Odik II
Emperor Palpatine imprisoned Old Republic opponents to the New Order in a top-secret detention center on this planet. (DSTC)

Odion
This Sith Lord was one of many who attempted to restore the Sith to power in the galaxy, during the decades that led up to the Battle of Ruusan. Lord Odion was known for the wanton destruction that followed his movements, which often put him at odds with Lord Daiman. (SWI116)

Odis
This young man was one of the many beings who lived in the Refugee Sector of Nar Shaddaa, following the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War. He desparately wanted to be a pilot, but his social stature often caused many potential employers to look for other candidates. When The Exile arrived on Nar Shaddaa, during his search for Jedi Master Zez-Kai Ell, he found a job for Odis after talking with Fassa. (KOTOR2)

Odle, Hermi
A Baragwin weapons specialist who was often found in Jabba's palace, taking a break from his livelihood. Odle designed the security and weapons systems that guarded Jabba's palace on Tatooine. He and Pote Snitkin had a running feud, although no one quite understood the reason. He was a large, blubbery beast who helped hold C-3PO down while Salacious Crumb chewed out the droid's eyes. (E6N, GG12, CCG7)

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

Odok, Aagh
This was a noted Zabrak explorer. (WOTC)

Odom, Meck
This young man was Kyle Katarn's roommate, during their training at the Imperial Academy on Carida. Meck was also Kyle's only true friend. Following their graduation, Meck was stationed on the planet Danuta, in the lab where the plans for the first Death Star were maintained. When Kyle joined the Alliance and tried to infiltrate the lab, Meck agreed to help his friend out. Meck arranged for a series of security checks to occur, resulting in a temporary shutdown of the base's perimeter locks and defenses, allowing Kyle to get into the facility and steal the plans. For his part in the action, Kyle allowed Meck to "survive" the assault. Meck had positioned himself in the command center where the plans were stored, and Kyle "shot" Meck when he entered the room. Meck rolled to the ground and hid, and later was "saved" when the Imperial rescue teams arrived to clean up the mess. (SFE)

Odominic
This Hutt kajidic was the major crime family that assumed control of the underworld of the planet Kaikielius, during the centuries that followed the Great Hyperspace War. As the conflict between the local police forces and the crimelords escalated into violence, the Odominic clan made great profits by selling weapons to both sides of the conflict. It was later discovered by Derrica Praji that his family had been manipulating the Odominic clan, in an effort to undermine the efforts of House Vahalii to take control of Kaikielius. (OWS)

Odos
This group of large gas clouds fills much of the space near Exodo II and the Spangled Veil Nebula. (POT)

Odosk
This Imperial Army General had survived more than his share of engagements during the early rule of Emperor Palpatine, and was seriously considering retirement when he was approached by Grand Moff Tarkin. Tarkin offered him a command position, serving under Admiral Daala at the Maw Installation. Odosk accepted, seeing the assignment as a way to end his career quietly, but with distinction. He was responsible for boarding T'nun Bdu's CR90 corvette in the Cauldron Nebula and placing 12 thermal detonators in the ship's power plant. These were used to destroy the ship, after it was allowed to send a distress signal to the New Republic. (DA, JASB)

Odovrera, Joon
This comedian's nightclub act was regularly presented on a variety of HoloNet channels, but was often filled with racial or xenophobic jokes. He also poked fun at droids and the droid-rights movements of his time, and was known to have quipped that "some droids were just born bad," in reference to those droids that developed personalities. Odovrera's last performance involved a number of Rodian jokes, and it was believed that Odovrera made more than a few enemies that night. (EGA, OWS)

Odrion, Mors
This young Alliance dignitary and his aide, Rekara, traveled to Sedri to gather information on the Imperial garrison there. They stumbled onto the struggle between the priests Karak and Cardo over control of the Golden Sun. They were captured by Karak, who used his piece of the Golden Sun to steal information from Mors' mind. Rekara managed to escape and returned to Sedri with a rescue party. They were able to defeat Karak by scattering the Golden Sun's polyps across the oceans of Sedri, breaking its link to his mind. As Pek and Fala began working toward repairing Sedrian society, Odrion decided to remain on Sedri as the Alliance's representative, and to keep an eye on the Imperial garrison. Shortly after the Empire left Sedrian, Mors Odrion was elevated to a position of leadership among the Sedrian, and was instrumental in helping Pek deflect the battles between Limna Yith and the bounty hunters sent to recover her. (BGS, SSR)

Odryn
This planet was one of the handful of colony worlds that were maintained by the Feeorin race, during the era of the Great Sith War. Records from that time were unclear if Odryn was simply a colony world, or if had been the original homeworld of the Feeorin race. The planet itself was a world of extremes, with frigid polar caps and sweltering equatorial jungles. The members of The Covenant, specifically Jedi Master Feln, assumed control of the Sanctum of the Exalted on the planet, and used the sacred structure to house the various Sith artifacts that they discovered. The collection of artifacts began to cause all manner of problems on Odryn, as the concentration of Dark Side energy grew over time. (KOR1, KORH, KORV)

ODT
This company was based on the planet Onadax during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, although very few individuals knew exactly what the letters ODT stood for. Whatever its name, ODT was believed to have been founded by Dash Rendar and the human-replica droid known as Guri. The business was based on the premise that people would pay any amount of credits for immortality, and Dash had figured out how to do it. Using a modification of the entechment procedure used by the Ssi-ruuk, Dash and Guri found a way to place the enteched brain of a human into the computer brain of a human-replica droid. In this way, the human brain remained "alive", but in a body that only needed periodic maintenance and never truly aged. It was even believed that a Jedi Knight enteched and preserved in this manner would retain their connection to the Force. ODT, because of its business and his high-powered clientele, was obsessed with privacy, and maintained a heavily-secured compund on Onadax where human minds were enteched and placed into HRDs. The human-replica droid used by Molierre Cundertol were eventually traced back to Onadax and ODT, and Jaina Solo volunteered to investigate their facility. It was at ODT that she first encountered Stanton Rendar, who had undergone the same modified entechment procedure that had prolonged the life of Cundertol. Rather than have Jaina put a stop to the enterprise, Stanton took his knowledge and fled Onadax, destroying the entire ODT facility as he fled. (SWI75)

Odumin
Odumin was a Tynnan who started out working as a skip-tracer for the Corporate Sector Authority. He found rapid advancement within the confines of the Authority, using his abilities as a delegator to have humans do his work for him while he remained anonymous. He remained so anonymous that rumors that he was really Emperor Palpatine in disguise began to surround him. Odumin reached the level of Detached Duty agent for the Auditor-General, and saved the Grand Inquisitor Torbin from assassination by agents of the Church of the First Frequency. He was promoted to a staff position, and Torbin suggested a larger reward. Odumin declined, liking his anonymity to remain more or less intact. He worked his way up the Authority ladder to become the territorial manager for the area near Bonadan after singelhandedly taking out the Xiochi slaver gang. His demeanor was described as greatly humanitarian, and he was known as a decent administrator. He was nearly killed in an assassination attempt by the Malorm Family, so Odumin hired Gallandro to take care of them. It was at this time that Fiolla discovered information about slaving operation within the leadership of the CSA, and began her investigation. Odumin had also been chasing down the slavery ring, and allowed himself to be implicated as part of the slavers in order to avoid drawing attention to his own investigation. He had traced the slavers to Ammuud, where he had learned of Zlarb's role in the ring. Odumin had then planned to apprehend Zlarb on Bonadan, several years before the Battle of Yavin. However, Han Solo had already killed Zlarb, and when he tried to leave Bonadan aboard the Millennium Falcon, Odumin thought Han was Zlarb trying to skip out on him. He tried to drug Han and immobilize him, but Han proved more resourceful. Odumin was forced to assume the guise of the skip-tracer Spray, who gained Chewbacca's confidence and helped fly the Millennium Falcon to Ammuud. On Ammuud, Odumin hoped that Solo and Chewbacca could help him reach the Mor Glayyd, arranging a duel between Gallandro and Ewwen. Once the slavers arrived on Ammuud and tried to eliminate all evidence of their existence, Odumin revealed his true self. He also revealed that Fiolla was working for him, and that their efforts were finally coming to fruition. The slavers had tried to use the Reesbon clan to help with their slave traffic, but the elder Mor Glayyd saw this as a possible betrayal of his clan, and tried to work a deal with Odumin. The Mor Glayyd was poisoned, and the plot to kill Ewwen was put into motion. Odumin knew that only Han Solo - a freelance operative working outside the law - would be able to get inside the Ammuud clans and help break the case open. Solo's actions gave Odumin the evidence he needed to smash the ring, but he refused to allow Solo to go free until the smuggler threatened to kill him. Gallandro stepped in, allowing Solo to go free in the hopes of meeting up with him at a later date. In the wake of the events on Ammuud, both Spray and Fiolla were given promotions for their efforts.

Oevvaor
This fast-moving, marine reptile was native to the planet Kashyyyk. It was known among the Wookiees for its agility and territorial ferocity, and usually was found prowling the coastline in search of prey. (X3)

Oevvaor Jet Catamaran
Named for a marine reptile, this twin-hulled vessel was built by the Appazanna Engineering Works of the planet Kashyyyk, for moving across open water at high speeds. A pair of jet engines provided propulsion, and each of the tandem hulls had seating for two Wookiees. Like other technology produced by the Wookiees, each Oevvaor catamaran was unique, and many specimens were known to have lasted over a thousand years. Measuring about fifteen meters in length and spanning about ten meters from hull to hull, the Oevvaor catamaran was primarily used in those Wookiee cities such as Kachirho, where moving across the water was a necessary means of conveyance. Many offworlders compared these catamarans to the podracers of the years leading up to the Clone Wars, since the engines of the catamaran were similar in appearance to those of a podracer, and propelled the catamaran at speeds approaching 370 kilometers per hour. (VD3, X3)

Of Droids and Men
Written by Anton Saar, this noted treatise explored the relationship between organic beings - specifically, human beings - and the droids they created to perform tasks, especially those tasks that would place an organic being in mortal danger. (RASB)

Of Minds, Men, and Machines
This treatise was written by the pre-Republic philosopher Plaristes during the decades leading up to the formation of the Old Republic. In the treatise, Plaristes argued convincingly that automatons would never achieve true sentience, despite the regular and impressive technological advances in artificial intelligence. However, over the ensuing millennia, many of his postulations were proven wrong. (OWS, NEGD)

Ofax ets burrin tehn
This was an Old Corellian phrase. For most modern humans, it translates to "the air was too dangerous here," indicating that the air quality was not conducive to survival. For a Socorrian, it becomes "the air was too heavy here," meaning that the situation in the immediate area was dangerous. (SWJ7)

Off-Canau
This was one of the galaxy's most wondrous tourist destinations. (JQ8)

Offdurmin, Bescat
This was the alias used by Lando Calrissian when he accompanied Han and Leia Organa Solo on a clandestine fact-finding mission to Corellia, shortly after the failed assassination attempt on the life of Tenel Ka, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Offdurmin was a holo-entertainment mogul who spent his free time seeking out the various pleasures that could be obtained in the Corporate Sector. His ship, the Love Commander, was designed to serve as his personal pleasure center. (LF4)

Offee, Barriss
This Mirialan Jedi Padawan was being trained by Luminara Unduli during the last decades of the Old Republic. In addition to her skills as a warrior, Barriss also proved to be a skilled healer. She was born on a transport ship in deep space, and never knew her parents. Her connection to the Force was quickly discovered, however, and she was taken to Coruscant for training. She proved to be a quick, though impatient, student, traits that seemed to be more and more prevalent among the Padawans of her generation. Barriss accompanied her Master, along with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, to the planet Ansion, shortly before the Clone Wars, in an effort to prevent the Ansionians from seceding from the Republic. Barriss was kidnapped shortly after their arrival, but managed to befriend her two Ansionian kidnappers, Kyakhta and Bulgan, after curing them of their mental debilities. Barriss was unsure of Anakin's suitability to train as a Jedi, seeing in him a recklessness and emotion that she deemed uncharacteristic of a Jedi. However, upon meeting face to face with Soergg the Hutt - the very being who had ordered her kidnapping - Barriss realized that every Jedi had emotions that needed to be controlled. Her perception of Anakin changed, and the two became good friends after successfully keeping Ansion as a member of the Republic. Their efforts nearly went for naught, as the Jedi were almost defeated at the Battle of Geonosis. Both Unduli and her Padawan fought bravely, but were badly outnumbered by the droid armies of the Separatists. Only the arrival of Master Yoda and the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic saved the day. Barriss Offee managed to survive the Battle of Geonosis and returned to Coruscant with her Master, although she was assigned to a clean-up operation on Geonosis about a year later. A year after her return to Geonosis, Barriss Offee was separated from her Master during the height of the Clone Wars, when Barriss was dispatched to Drongar on a mission to assist the medics there while also keeping a watchful eye on the production of bota. She believed that this would be her individual Jedi Trial, a chance to prove herself against the backdrop of the war. She was unprepared for both the visible horrors of a Republic Mobile Surgical Unit and the mental anguish of being forced to confront death every day. In addition, she found herself at odds with the combat instructor for Rimsoo-7, Phow Ji, who continually egged the young Padawan closer to a driect confrontation. Barriss knew that her desire to best Ji came from the Dark Side of the Force, and tried to keep it under control. When Ji was shot by a Separatist agent with a poisoned dart, Barriss was forced to swallow her desires and save him by extracting the poison with the help of the Force. Her elation at saving him was quickly dissipated when Ji threw himself back into battle, using a thermal detonator to destroy a Separatist army that was converging on his position. Her anger briefly flared again, as she believed Ji had wasted her gift on a mission to prove his superiority. It was then that Barriss realized the extent of the Jedi Trial, and she struggled to keep herself focused on the mission. An attack on Rimsoo Seven showed Barriss the disgusting underbelly of war, as the Separatists broke all conventions to destroy the medical facility. In the evacuation, Barriss watched in helpless horror as Zan Yant was killed instantly by a piece of shrapnel, then had to endure Jos Vondar's stoic refusal to grieve. After the camp was relocated, Barriss accidentally discovered that processed bota could heighten her connection to the Force, a discovery that she quickly relayed to Master Unduli on Coruscant. However, the mutating bota meant that any further investigation was impossible. After leaving Drongar, Barriss was promoted from apprentice level to Jedi Knight. By the time she was dispatched to capture Shu Mai on Felucia, Barris had achieved the rank of Jedi Master, and was actively engaged in the training of her own Padawan, Zonder. However, when Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu, he sent out communications to the various clone commanders to execute Order 66. Upon hearing the order, clone Commander Bly ordered his troops to open fire on Jedi, and Lieutenant Galle blasted the defenseless Jedi Master and killed her. The "official" report that later aired on Imperial HoloVision claimed that Barriss Offee was shot and killed when it was discovered that she was plotting to posion Felucia's water supply with Aayla Secura. (OWS, SWI58, APS, SWDB, MBS, ROF, MJH, IS3, SWDB, SWI87, CWTV09)

Office of the Chancellor
This was the term used to describe the political entity embodied by the Supreme Chancellor of the Old Republic. Although many beings assumed the Chancellor acted as a single individual, the Office of the Chancellor encompassed all the aides, analysts, and advisors who worked to keep the Chancellor updated on the status of the galaxy. (CHRN2)

Office of the Chief of State
This was another name for the Office of the Galactic Alliance Chief of State. (FJ1)

Official History of the Rebellion, Volume One
Composed by Arhul Hextraphon during his tenure as secretary to Mon Mothma during the Galactic Civil War, the Official History of the Rebellion, Volume One was a compendium of Hextraphon's personal diaries and observations regarding the most pivotal characters of the War. (SWSB, ISB)

Offshoot
This was the Arkanian word that was used to describe an individual who was descended from one or more Arkanian Offshoot parents. The term was often used with scorn or disdain, as most pureblood Arkanians felt that the Offshoots were blemishes that should have been eliminated after they had outlived their usefulness. (KOR5)

Offshoot Question, The
This was the term used by ancient Arkanian historians and scholars to refer to the cultural fracturing that occurred when the Arkanian Offshoots had outlived their original purpose, but were allowed to live on in remote settlements. Despite the fact that many Arkanian Purebloods deemed the Offshoots to lesser beings, many Arkanians knew that the Offshoots had much to offer to the Arkanian culture. Thus, there were often clashed of ethics and moral dilemmas in both social and commericial arenas when it came to the inclusion of Arkanian Offshoots in any endeavor. (KOR5)

Offworld Corporation
see Offworld Mining Company (GORW)

Offworld Mining Company
This mining operation controlled much of the ore and mineral extraction performed in the Outer Rim Territories, some twelve years prior to the Battle of Naboo. The employees of Offworld wore a triangular black patch emblazoned with a red planet encircled by a silver starship. The planet and starship combined to give the impression of a blood-red eye. Offworld Mining was one of the oldest and richest companies in the galaxy, and it was not afraid to eliminate its competition at all costs. During the final decades of the Old Republic, Offworld Mining was one of the more powerful members of the Commerce Guild. Leadership of Offworld was often mysterious, although Hutts were often used as operational managers while Whiphids were hired as bodyguards and enforcers. The actual mining was performed by slave labor acquired from all over the Outer Rim. Offworld's hold on the planet Bandomeer was broken after Xanatos infiltrated its leadership structure and took control after the death of Jemba the Hutt. It was part of a plan Xanatos had created to exact revenge on his former teacher, Qui-Gon Jinn, but the plan failed and control of Bandomeer was turned over to the Home Planet Party and Arcona Mineral Harvest Corporation. (RF, DR, NEGD)

Off-Worlder Hotel
Located in the district of Haziz Downside, on the planet N'zoth, this was one of the few places that a non-Yevetha could get a room for an extended stay. (CCW)

Offworlder's Bridge
This was one of many bridges leading into the city of Phemiss, on the planet New Plympto. Any being who was not native to the planet was directed to enter the city via this bridge. (CCW)

Off-worlders' Quarter
Not actually part of a city but a city by itself, the Off-worlders' Quarter was located on a round island off the coast of the continent of Forethought, on the planet Ropagi II. Any visitors to the planet must pass through the processing center there, before they can move about on the planet. After the fall of the Empire, the native Ropagu imported mercenaries to help keep the peace, and these mercenaries were the only visitors allowed to leave the island. To tourists and other non-mercenary visitors, the rest of Ropagi II was off-limits. Mercenaries were trasnported to Ropagis for registration and debriefing. (TSK)

OG-9
This was the official designation of the homing spider droid. (X3)

Ogden Minor
A planet. (SHW)

Ogem
This planet was the homeworld of the Ogemite race. (CSWEA)

Ogemite
This humanoid race was native to the planet Ogem. They were distinguishable by their tiger-striped pelt and large hair-frills on their heads. The males of the species were known as traders. (CSWEA)

Oggzil
This Yuuzhan Vong bio-construct was used to broadcast the communication of a single villip to a large number of receiving villips. The oggzil was not much larger that a villip, and actually folded itself around the villip used as the transmitter. A long, antenna-like tail provided the transmission mechanism used to send the message to other villips in the link. (DW)

Oggzil
This creature was created by the Yuuzhan Vong, after the initial stages of their invasion of the galaxy. Oggzils were created to join with villips in order to enhance their communications abilities. Oggzils were fed a diet rich in metals, which they could digest and use to form their skeletons. This ability to assimmilate metals and form skeletal material from them allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to employ the oggzil as a living communications antenna. The Yuuzhan Vong then attuned the oggzils to the frequencies of the New Republic. This allowed the alien invaders to broadcast their messages on the Republic's frequencies via villips, without actually using mechanical technologies. (BP)

Ogir
This Mandalorian word meant "there" in the Basic language. (OWS)

Ogir'olar
This Mandalorian word meant "one way or the other" or "either way" in the Basic language. (OWS)

Ogly
This being was one of the many beings who worked for Borrath Freelan, during the final years of the Old Republic. When the Clone Wars ended and the Cularin System declared its neutrality, Ogly found himself in a position to strike out on his own. Shipyard records that documented ownership were lost for the vessel Ogly had been piloting for Freelan, giving Ogly the opportunity to claim the ship was his. Despite having the tacit acknowledgement that the ship was his, Ogly found himself dogged at every turn by Freelan, who was intent on recovering his rightful property. (LFCW)

Ogo
This word from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "high." (GPB)

Ogomoor
This male Ansionian worked as the majordomo for Soergg the Hutt, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was Ogomoor who was charged with eliminating any threat to the secession movement which rose up on Ansion, a mission which came to include thwarting the efforts of two Jedi Knights, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luminara Unduli, and their Padawans, Anakin Skywalker and Barriss Offee. The Jedi continually managed to find a way around Ogomoor's roadblocks, and Ogomoor continually survived Soergg's wrath. However, when the Jedi managed to secure a treaty between the Alwari and the city dwellers of Cuipernam, Ogomoor's efforts were finally proven ineffectual. Knowing that he would be killed by Soergg if he returned to the Hutt, Ogomoor planned to expose the Hutt's dealings with Shu Mai and the Commerce Guild to the Unity of Community. However, before he could produce any proof of Soergg's involvement, Soergg shot Ogomoor dead, destroying the small recorder which held the evidence. (APS)

Ogoth Tiir
This planet was the site of a battle during the early years of the New Order. (CSA)

This strong-muscled individual was one of the directors of Sleeft Docking Bay Maintenance in Mos Eisley, on Tatooine. He was responsible for several illicit activities undertaking by Sleeft, including the theft of top-notch droid parts from Notsub Shipping. When the Bith Angor Farn mistakenly took the freighter containing the parts, he tried to escape from Ohah and ransom the parts for a huge sum. However, Farn never got off Tatooine. He tried to hide out in the Dim-U monastery, but Ohah received some help from Alliance agents in extricating Farn and recovering the parts. (GG7)

It indicated a relationship through the other's mother's side of the family. Usually, one's family name was inserted to indicate more detail on the relationship. Over time, most families adopted the Basic language, and used the High Tongue only on Purging Days. (MJH)

Ohma-D'un
This was the larger of Naboo's two moons, and was capable of supporting life. It was known to the natives of the planet as the Water Moon, since much of its surface was covered with standing water. The Gungans established a settlement on the moon shortly before the Battle of Naboo, and expanded their colonization efforts after they re-established relations with the Naboo. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, the Separatists unleashed a biological weapon on the moon, killing many of the Gungans before a vaccine could be developed. Any Gungans who survived were either killed by combat droids or exterminated by the bounty hunter Durge and his commander, Asajj Ventress. (GF, SWRPG, WOTC, SWI66, RNFW)

Ohma-D'un Super Battle Droids

Ohnaka, Hondo
This Weequay pirate was destined for greatness, because his mother was one of the most successful pirates of the Seven Sectors, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Hondo managed to locate Count Dooku's damaged solar sailer on the planet Vanqor, during the height of the Clone Wars. Realizing that the solar sailer's owner was probably quite wealthy, Ohnaka's gang waited for the Count to return to his ship, then offered to transport Dooku and his ship to Florrum, where he might be able to get repairs. Unknown to Dooku was the fact that Ohnaka and his crew had their base on Florrum. In this way, Ohnaka hoped to take Dooku captive and turn him over to the Galactic Republic for a huge reward. On Florrum, Ohnaka allowed Dooku to exit their ship before allowing his crew to take the Count hostage. When he sent his demands to the Republic, Ohnaka demanded a million-credit reward, to be paid in pure spice. After proving that it was actually Dooku by displaying Dooku's lightsaber, Ohnaka agreed to allow Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to meet with him and verify that it was indeed Count Dooku he was holding captive. However, he had no plans to turn Dooku over to the Jedi, and had the Jedi captured in an attempt to extort more spice from the Republic. Unknown to Ohnaka, however, was the fact that one of his lieutenants, Turk Falso, was planning to steal the ransom for himself. When the first attempt to take the ransom failed, Falso lied about his involvement, claiming that the Republic had sent an invasion army to deal with the pirates. Ohnaka tried to take control of the situation, but Jar Jar Binks and Clone Commander Stone managed to reach his fortress, just as the Jedi and Count Dooku were escaping. In the end, Ohnaka was forced to accept nothing for all of his schemes, as the Jedi refused to turn over the ransom after Dooku fled the planet.

In the months that followed, Ohnaka and his thugs discovered a small village of Felucians who were growing the medicinal herb nysillin. Recognizing that they could make a profit from selling the plant, Ohnaka forced the village leader, Casiss, to pay him a portion of their nysillin crop as protection money. The short-statured Felucian had not choice but to agree, especially after Ohnaka backed up his boasting about "speaking softly, and driving a big tank" by threatening the village with an armed repulsortank, but Ohnaka found that Casiss was not without resources. The Felucian hired a group of bounty hunters to help defend the village, forcing Ohnaka to return to the village in force. Unfortunately, the pirates arrived at the village shortly after three Jedi Knights - Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Ahsoka Tano - crash-landed on Felucia. The combination of four bounty hunters and three Jedi was more than enough to protect the village, and Ohnaka once again was forced to fight for his life. In a battle with Skywalker, Ohnaka nearly slipped and fell off a sheer cliff. The Jedi tried to help Ohnaka by pulling him to safety, but Ohnaka had other plans. He pushed Skywalker into the path of an oncoming tank the pirates had been using to raid the village, then fled for his life. Defeated again, the pirates fled Felucia before the Jedi could track them. (CWTV11, CWTV12, CWTV39)

Oicunn, Barrow
This man was a native of the planet Humbarine, where he served in the planetary navy during the height of the Clone Wars. He believed in the Old Republic, and joined the navy to keep his homeworld free from Separatist control. However, he soon came to doubt the Republic's ability to protect itself, after his requests for additional military resources were ignored. This allowed General Grievous to sweep in and attack Humbarine while it was virtually defenseless, and Oicunn's family was killed in the attack.

For his own part in the defense of Humbarine, Oicunn found himself transferred to the Home Fleet defending Coruscant itself. Senator Bana Breemu hailed him as a hero, despite the loss of Humbarine to the Separatists. During the first Battle of Coruscant, Oicunn was given command of the Mas Ramdar, and went into battle with the knowledge that he could exact a measure of revenge against Grievous during the fighting. His valor and success in the space battle over Coruscant earned Oicunn further promotion and a place in the newly established navy of the Galactic Empire, commanding one of the warships that protected the construction site of the first Death Star. Oicunn continued to rise through the ranks, eventually earning the rank of Admiral. He also served as a genetic template for some of the stormtroopers of the Imperial army. (SWDB, DAG)

Oil Bath
This device was used to clean the body of a droid. As the name suggested, an oil bath used cleansing oils instead of water to remove grease and grime, preventing the growth of rust or other forms of corrosion. Oil baths usually were large enough to accommodate a humanoid-sized droid, which stood on a platform that could be raised and lowered into the cleaning oils. Depending on the manufacturer, oil baths used pumps or agitators to move the oil around and through the droid's systems, drawing the oil through filters that removed grit and debris. When the cleaning cycle was completed, the droid was lifted out of the oil to drain. A cloth could then be used to clean and polish the droid even further. (SW)

Each of these glaciers supported a group of Besalisks. Several space stations were built in orbit around the planet, serving as spaceports and more hospitable habitats. However, this arrangement did not keep offworlders from visiting Ojom's surface, and a healthy criminal underworld evolved in the planet. However, the majority of the crimes committed on the planet were perpetrated by these offworlders, not the native Besalisks. Note that The New Essential Guide to Aline Species indicates that Ojom was in the Deep Core. (SWI70, UANT, NEGA)

OKC-167
This was the designation of Mobquet's personal repulsor pack system. The OKC-167 used a collection of micro-repulsorlift engines to provide the wearer with maneuverability and lift, although many jet pack owners claimed the micro-repulsors were exceptionally slow. The high price of the OCK-167 also priced it out of most civilian markets, but it managed to find a niche in military operations. (AEG)

Barthos made his credits working as the director of one of Brentaal's orbital HoloNet relay stations, before retiring to his estate. While he disliked the Empire, he didn't support the Alliance because he didn't believe that they could actually win the war. (CCW)

Okeefe, Platt
This strikingly beautiful young woman was one of the galaxy's most famous smugglers. Platt was the daughter of parents who were members of one of Brentaal's more prominent trading houses. She was supposed to attend the commerce academy and learn about the family business, but the idea of being a stuffy businesswoman didn't appeal to her. After several boring years at school, she packed her meager belongings and hitched a ride aboard the Starlite Cloud. After two years on the Starlite Cloud, she crewed on the Ravelev for two years before joining the Klatooinan Trade Guild as a pilot. She owned the YT-1300 known as the Last Chance. Early in her career, Platt was captured and enslaved by Big Quince. A chance meeting with a fellow slave named Tru'eb Cholakk brought her a chance for escape. The two plotted against Big Quince, eventually stealing his personal shuttle and escaping captivity. Platt later repaid Tru'eb for his help, and the two developed a strong friendship. Platt often worked for the Alliance and the New Republic, but was by no means allied with them. She and Tru'eb often worked alone, although they often hired additional help as needs demanded. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, they teamed up with Dirk Harkness while working on Zelos II, when they became aware of the Imperial presence on the planet. They tipped off the New Republic to the location of the garrison, and Harkness went in to ensure the base was cleared out. However, the Republic's team was wiped out and Harkness was captured.

This Twi'leki individual was rumored to know the location of Jabba the Hutt's secret weapons cache, located somewhere in the Tatooine desert. The black-sheep son of a wealthy Twi'lek family, Olan was a minor crimelord who believed that, following Jabba the Hutt's death, he could step in and take control of the Hutt's criminal empire. He had somehow managed to gain control of the brain walker that contained Bib Fortuna's brain, and took great pleasure in the knowledge that Fortuna retained information about Jabba. In order to obtain the weapons cache, he had to put Huff Darklighter out of business, because Darklighter had learned of its existence. In the midst of this power struggle, Rogue Squadron was sent to discover if the cache existed. Imperial forces were also sent in to retrieve the cache, stored at the so-called Eidolon Base. Olan was captured by Captain Semtin and returned to Ryloth, in an attempt to draw off the Republic's forces. Semtin later freed him as a way to gain the confidence of the Twi'leki head clans, but caught him again at Eidolon Base. Semtin stabbed Olan before escpaing, and Bib Fortuna's brain walker took advantage of the situation. Fortuna had been trailing Olan, waiting for just such an opportunity to exact revenge. Fortuna dragged Olan's body to the B'omarr monks and had them swap brains. Olan was forced to spend the rest of his conscious existence in the brain walker, while Fortuna used his body to try and rebuild Jabba's empire. To this end, he started a relationship with Shiri'ani, the owner and operator of the Lucky Star hotel and casino, and a protégé of Lady Valarian. (XWBT, SOT)

O-Lana
This young Keganite child was born nearly thirteen years before the Battle of Naboo.

All records of her birth and existence were wiped from Kegan's computers, in order to keep the child hidden and convince the Jedi to leave. However, the Jedi Padawans Obi-Wan Kenobi and Siri rescued O-Lana, and the child eventually was trained on Coruscant.

Old Kuurt was a veteran of too many battles to remember, and had dedicated his life to defending Cularin against any form of attack. Because of his contribution, the owners of the Crosstown more or less let Old Kuurt wat or drink whatever he wanted when he came in. However, after retiring from active duty, he spent much of his time in an alcohol-induced stupor, in which he tried to escape the harsh realities of the galaxy around him. Thje owners of the Crosstown learned to fill up his mug with synthetic, low-alcohol brews, although many suspected that Old Kuurt was aware of it anyway. Unfortunately for the rest of the Crosstown's patrons, alcohol also tended to loosen up Old Kuurt's tongue, and he wasn't afraid to vent his frustrations on any being unfortunately enough to sit down with ten meters of him. He hated the fact that the Grand Army of the Republic was made up primarily of clone troopers, since they had little or no regard for the livelihood of the people they were sworn to protect. In Old Kuurt's opinion, a clone trooper would do anything to meet its objective, even destroy innocent civilians if needed. He advocated Cularin's remaining neutral in the Clone Wars, letting the Old Republic and the "Seppertists" fight it out until one side or the other eventually won out. He even went so far as to accuse the Old Republic of acting only in the best interests of the rich, so that small worlds like Cularin never reached a state of economic richness. (LFCW)

This supposedly omniscient Morish lived in a cave in the High Tatmana mountains of Morishim. An ancient male who lived in the isolation of his mountain crag, the Old Recluse was in possession of an Imperial communications center, wedged into the back of his cave. He claimed to be foretelling the future, but was simply listening to Imperial transmissions. His small operation was discovered Lando Calrissian and Wedge Antilles shortly after the revelation of the Bothan involvement in the destruction of Caamas. They surmised that the communications center had been set up shortly before the New Republic reclaimed the world from Imperial control. (SOP)

Old Republic
The name given to the time before the Empire was formed, it was the period in which the Galactic Senate worked with the Jedi Knights to keep the galaxy in order. Most historians point the Old Republic's beginnings at the point when hyperspacial travel was first invented, allowing beings from across the galaxy to move about with relative ease. The Old Republic's government was formed shortly afterward, with the Jedi Knights becoming the guardians of peace and justice. This was believed to have been some 25,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, but exact dating had become impossible. What was known was that the Old Republic grew and prospered for nearly 20,000 years, until the Sith emerged from their hidden empire and ravaged the Republic, first during the Great Hyperspace War, and a thousand years kater during the Great Sith War. The Republic managed to rebuilt itself over the next 3,000 years, until the Sith emerged once again. With the Battle of Ruusan, the threat of the Sith was believed to have been eliminated, and the Republic once again prospered. For nearly a millennium, the Republic knew peace and harmony, unaware that it was actually crumbling from within. As the Galactic Senate became more and more concerned with petty squabbling and the posturing of its delegates, corruption became more and more prevalent. Secretive factions formed to work in their own best interests, and the Sith Lord known as Darth Sidious began to take advantage of the situation to further his own goals. The humble Senator from Naboo, Palpatine, used the victory at the Battle of Naboo to win the election for Supreme Chancellor, and he continued to solidify his base of power. When the time was right, Palpatine declared himself Emperor and established the New Order, marking the final days of the Old Republic. (E4, CHRN, E1, SHPT)

Old Republic
This Alliance CR90 corvette was destroyed in the Endor System when the Daggerblade suddenly reappeared, shortly after the Battle of Endor. Despite outgunning the Daggerblade, the Old Republic could not counter the smaller ship's maneuverability. (TBSB)

Old Republic Guard
This was the term used by historians to describe those members of the Old Republic's army forces who were assigned to serve as guards aboard naval warships, during the Mandalorian Wars. Often, these army forces were simply being transported from location to location, but the long transit times and the space battles that often interrupted them meant that the army forces spent a great deal of time on their transports. Whenever a ship was attacked by Mandalorian boarders, the members of the Old Republic Guard fought to repel the invaders, in order to keep the ship intact so that it could reach its destination. (SWMW)

Old Rustface

This vast information repository was located in Imperial City on Coruscant. (TLC)

Old Sith Wars
This was a generic term used by historians to refer to the period of time some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, beginning with the Great Sith War. The Old Sith Wars then encompassed the Great Hunt, the Cleansing of the Nine Houses, and the War of the Star Forge. Additionally, the Mandalorian Wars were also grouped under the era of the Old Sith Wars, due to their temporal proximity. (SWI80, SWI88)

Old Slimy
This was a slang term used by Darman and many other clone commandos to describe Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. The name stemmed from the fact that, during the era of the Clone Wars, the Galactic Republic seemed to be conducting the war in a haphazard way, causing many commandos to wonder if Palpatine wasn't up to something sneaky. (RC66)

Old Soveryn

Old Teachings
This was the name given to some of the most ancient writings and discoveries of the Jedi Order. The Old Teachings were maintained by the Jedi in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, until the destruction of the temple at the end of the Clone Wars. Most Jedi of the time chose to ignore the Old Teachings, although many believed that the descriptions of the Force they provided were more true than the Jedi Council believed. Among the basic tenets of the Old Teachings was that the Force could not easily be separated into a Dark Side and a Light Side, or even a Living Force and a Physical Force. Instead, the Force had many layers and existed on many planes, and existing at a cosmic level to unify life throughout the universe. (CN2)

Old Timer

Oldathan, Caregg
A native of the planet Commenor, this man served in the planetary naval forces, during the years following the Swarm War. Thus, Lieutenant Oldathan was among the many K-Wing pilots who were called to active duty when the Commenorian government joined the Corellians in seceding from the Galactic Alliance to form The Confederation. He was paired with Lieutenant Danen during the defense of their homeworld, where he served as the leader of Grayfeather Squadron.

During a routine patrol, Oldathan failed to understand Danen when he claimed to see the stars in the tail section of the Jeweled Lizard constellation wink out and then re-appear. The disappearance of the stars turned out to be caused by a cloaked asteroid entering the system. He and Danen alerted the Commenori military to the asteroid's approach, but their onboard weapons were nowhere near enough to destroy or deflect the massive object. The asteroid turned out to be one of several that the Galactic Alliance's Third Fleet launched at the planet itself, while confronting Commenor's naval forces in space. (LF7)

Oldtimers
A name given to the original inhabitants of the planet Nam Chorios. The Oldtimers were political prisoners left on the planet by the Grissmaths, which also left behind the drochs in an effort to exterminate the prisoners. Many survived, learning how to beat the drochs and maintain a meager existence. Many Oldtimers followed the words of Theras, and strove to keep larger ships from entering and leaving the system. (POT)

Oleg
This man was a low-level member of the Absolutes, during the rise to power of Balog on the planet New Apsolon, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. He had been marked for interrogation by his superiors, and he planned to desert the Absolutes when he first met the Jedi Master Tahl. When her cover was exposed, Tahl needed to escape as well, and Oleg helped her get out of the Absolutes' base when he himself fled. It was believed that Oleg had a copy of the list of Absolute supporters, but he disappeared before he could be questioned by the Jedi Knights. His lifeless body was discovered by Qui-Gon Jinn shortly afterward, shot and killed by one of the probe droids which had been outlawed on the planet. Qui-Gon later discovered that Irini had reprogrammed the probe droids, in an effort to obtain the list and prevent any further bloodshed. (DOH, CTV)

Oleson (*)
A General serving at the New Academy for Space Pilots, and Luke Skywalker's favorite instructor. (MM)

Olfax
This was a term used to describe several species of alien beings which had evolved on remote planets, where they developed the ability to communicate through smells and scents. Fully half of their brain was devoted to an Olfax's sense of smell. This sense of smell employed three different types of nerves in much same way that other races used three different light receptors to see with their eyes. This collection of nerves also allowed an Olfax to "smell" in three dimensions, giving an Olfax the ability to visualize its environment by simply sniffing the air. There was no way to truly hide from an Olfax, because they could smell an individual before they were visible. This also made it nearly impossible to lie to an Olfax, since they could "smell" the intentions and emotions behind the words.

However, this reliance on their sense of smell meant that the Olfaxes were virtually "blind" while traveling through space, where the atmosphere of a starship was regularly scrubbed and recycled by life-support systems. (PM16, OWS)

Olgkru
This was one of the many Twi'leki clans which were native to the planet Ryloth. In the Twi'leki language, the clan's name meant "strong-willed". (GCG)

Olgreen, Wilam
This fanatic was the leader of the Olgreen Intelligence Guild during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Olgreen founded the Guild during the early years of the Clone Wars, in protest of the ways in which the Old Republic was disposing of damaged battle droids collected from warzones. Because he maintained no outward connection to the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Olgreen was never arrested for his actions. Years later, it was known that he maintained an illegal droid modification facility somewhere in the Outer Rim Territories, and sold his services and wares aboard Omze's Incredible Travelling Starport. (FTD, SWI70)

Olgreen Intelligence Guild
Founded by Wilam Olgreen and belonging to the Coalition of Automaton Rights Activists, this protest group was known for its blockading of droid reclamation factories, thereby preventing the delivery of scrap or rogue droids for meltdown. The Guild was originally formed during the early stages of the Clone Wars, in protest of the ways in which droids of the Confederacy of Independent Systems were destroyed by the Old Republic. The Guild was known to have erected portable shield generators to prevent Republic transports from dumping the shells of damaged battle driods into reclamation facilities. (FTD, SWI70)

Olianna
This six-year-old A'Mar child was only member of their society who had not yet taken a drink from the Wellspring, when the time came to perform The Vigil, during the Galactic Civil War. She was too young to remain by the spring alone, and the other children who were old enough to accompany her had been lost in the woods and had to drink from the spring to survive. As luck would have it, a group of adventurers suffered damage to their starship near Lamus, and had to land on the moon. In exchange for the parts to repair their ship, the adventurers agreed to accompany Olianna to the Wellspring. (WOA31)

Olie', Ric
This man was a native of the planet Naboo, and grew up trying to fly or drive anything he could get his hands on. Among his friends, he was known as "Reckless Ric" for his piloting of a Sandtek Skyflipper into a grassy hill. However, he reined in his enthusiasm and joined the military, and was eventually promoted to the leader of Royal armed forces' Bravo Squadron. However, like the rest of Naboo society, he was unprepared for the Trade Federation's invasion force of droids. Olie and his pilots were quickly rounded up and prepared for dispatching to a detention camp when Qui-Gin Jinn and Obu-Wan Kenobi managed to liberate Queen Amidala from her Neimoidian captors. Obi-Wan freed the pilots, and the group fled Naboo for Coruscant. Ric Olie took control as the senior pilot, guiding them through the Federation's blockade as best he could. However, all his skills were no match for the firepower of the Federation battle cruisers. He was forced to limp the ship to Tatooine for repairs, but eventually got Amidala to Coruscant. While en route, Ric brought young Anakin Skywalker into the cockpit and taught him about the working of the starship. Later, during the Battle of Naboo, Ric led Bravo Squadron against the Federation's droid control ship. With the unexpected help of young Anakin, they were able to destroy the control ship and eliminate the threat imposed by the Federation's droid armies. (E1, OWS, NEGC)

Olin, Ferus
This young man was training to become a Jedi Knight, some five years after the Battle of Naboo. A noble-looking young man with maturity beyond his years, Ferus was a native of Bellassa. He was chosen to be the Padawan learner of Siri Tachi, and was training at the same time as Anakin Skywalker. Ferus constructed a red lightsaber during his training, a fact that raised many eyebrows in the Jedi Temple. His experiences with the training at the Temple were hard on Ferus, who was friendly with many students but never true friends with any one being. He focused solely on his training, a fact that led his fellow students to call him the "ruler of Planet Dull." He felt that the Force and his Jedi training were simply missing pieces in his life, with the tenets of the Jedi Order seeming to fit into grooves in his mind.

Ferus was an older student with a great deal of experience, being about two years older than Anakin, and he had the charisma and fortitude to take control of a situation without hesitation. Many Jedi Masters even considered him among the strongest Padawans of his generation, second only to Anakin. His experiences in the Crystal Cave on Ilum only reinforced his position, as the visions he encountered seemed to show that his desire to be the best apprentice would lead to his downfall. When he was teamed with Anakin Skywalker during the evacuation of Radnor, some five years after the Battle of Naboo, the two young men found themselves constantly at odds to provide leadership to the Padawan team. The two vowed to keep an eye on each other, as both held reservations about the other's true motives.

Later, they were paired on a mission to locate Jenna Zan Arbor on the planet Romin. Posing as the criminals Waldo and Ukiah, they managed to explore the outer edges of the city of Eliior, during which time Anakin and Ferus discovered that they both fell into a rapport without any effort. However, it was on Romin that Ferus explained to Obi-Wan Kenobi that he feared for Anakin at the same time he admired him, and worried that Anakin's sense of what was right was clouded by his own inner conviction. This unburdened Ferus of his fears, and allowed him to reach a better understanding of Anakin and his abilities.

In short order, the two Padawans began working well together, an occurrence that made the pursuit of Granta Omega, Jenna Zan Arbor, and Roy Teda that much easier. The four Jedi tracked down every possible lead, until they realized that Granta Omega's true target was Chancellor Palpatine himself. Obi-Wan and Anakin had managed to keep Palpatine safe, but Obi-Wan was forced to leave Anakin with the Chancellor in order to locate Omega. When Siri and Ferus reached tham, Ferus agreed to watch over the Chancellor while Siri and Anakin when to assist Obi-Wan. Thus, Ferus was the only Jedi in Palpatine's vicinity when Omega's seeker droids attacked the Senate chambers. Ferus found valiantly, until he found himself guarding both Palpatine and the fleeing Roy Teda. Despite deflecting the attacks of five or more droids, Roy Teda was shot and killed.

In the aftermath of the fighting, Ferus believed that he had failed. Even though Roy Teda was one of most vehemently anti-Jedi voices in the Senate, Ferus still mourned his death. Upon returning to Coruscant, Ferus was chosen by the Jedi Council to be the first candidate for an accelerated program meant to promote students to Knight status earlier. He then accompanied the team that was dispatched to Korriban to apprehend Granta Omega. He found himself forced into a competition with Anakin, who believed that he should have been chosen in Ferus' place. As Anakin became more aggressive, Ferus found a new friend in Tru Veld.

When Tru's lightsaber was damaged in a fight on Korriban, Ferus tried to repair it, so that Tru would have a chance to continue the mission. However, his repairs caused the lightsaber to drain power at a faster rate, and Tru was left weaponless during another battle. Because of this, Darra Thel-Tanis was left undefended, and later died from a laser blast. Ferus believed himself to be responsible, and decided to leave the Jedi Order upon returning to Coruscant, despite the success of the overall mission. It was then that he learned that Anakin had done some prior repairs to Tru's lightsaber, but had failed to tell him about it. Ferus never forgave Anakin for his lack of assistance, and left the Order knowing that he had done everything he could, but forced to live with Darra's death on his conscience.

It was believed that Ferus had served as an officer for the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, where he met Roan Lands. After retiring, Ferus eventually found a home on the planet Bellassa, where he escaped the Jedi Purge, but he soon found that his connection to the Force was growing weaker. However, he witnessed first-hand the might of the Empire when the Bellassan governor was removed in favor of an Imperial governor. He and Roan formed the Eleven, and began to speak to the citizens about demanding their former freedoms, causing several demonstrations that were put down by Imperial forces. Then, Ferus was hurt and Roan captured in a raid, and he was forced to retreat into the mountains.

He was being tended to by Dona when Obi-Wan Kenobi located him, and together they were able to free the hostages held by Inquisitor Malorum and flee Bellassa. It was during their escape the Ferus was able to reconnect with the Force, and although he refused to admit that he was still a Jedi, he promised to seek out any survivors of the Jedi Purge. However, they were pursued to the Red Twins by Boba Fett and D'harhan, and only barely escaped to Acherin. There, they were forced to split up, with Ferus going to Ilum to locate Garen Muln, while Obi-Wan went to Polis Massa. Ferus and Trever Flume managed to locate Garen, only to find themselves surrounded by stormtroopers. This forced Ferus to reconnect with the Force in a way that he thought was lost to him, and even Garen recognized his newfound skills.

When the time came to fight, Garen gave his lightsaber to Ferus, knowing that the younger man had a better chance of defeating the stormtroopers. After escaping with Garen, Ferus vowed to establish a safeworld on a hidden asteroid, where members of the Jedi Order could hide from Imperial tyranny. He was confused when Obi-Wan chose to return to Tatooine, but realized that he had once again become a Jedi Knight, and needed to take matters into his own hands to preserve the Jedi way. Acting on information gained from Garen Muln, Ferus and Trever set off for Coruscant, hoping to locate Fy-Tor-Ana. They found her deep beneath the planet's crust, having assumed the alias Solace and assuming leadership of a small settlement of outcasts. Ferus managed to convince her to return to the Jedi Temple, in an effort to stop Malorum from destroying the settlement. In their attempt, however, Ferus allowed himself to be capture so that Fy-Tor-Ana and Trever could escape.

Ferus was incarcerated at the Dontamo Prison facility, but escaped with help from Clive Flax. He set out to intercept Malorum before he could discover the secret that Obi-Wan had been trying to keep secret. He finally caught Malorum on Naboo, and confronted him in the Theed Palace power generation facility. Ferus emerged from the struggle victorious when Malorum fell to his death, knowing that Obi-Wan's secret was still safe. Thus, he was surprised when he received an open invitation from Emperor Palpatine himself, offering him amnesty if he returned to Coruscant.

In his chambers, Palpatine offered Ferus a chance to prove his loyalty to the new Empire by traveling to Samaria to resolve the problems in the city of Sath. Ferus refused, until Palpatine threatened the lives of Roan Lands and Dona Telamark. Seeing that he had no choice, Ferus traveled to Samaria, where he uncovered the fact that the programmer Quintus Farel was actually Astri Oddo. Rather than see her son, Lune, taken into Imperial custody, Ferus ensured that Astri and Lune escaped from Samaria with Solace's help, before reporting to Darth Vader himself on the situation.

He assured the Dark Lord that the situation had been caused by Quintus Farel, and that it would soon be under control. For his actions, Ferus found himself reporting directly to Emperor Palpatine, when the Sith Lord arrived on Samaria to oversee the Imperial subjugation of the planet. Images of Ferus standing next to Vader were broadcast over the HoloNet, in an effort to show that even a former Jedi - although Ferus was technically only a Padawan - could be swayed to join the Empire. Palpatine then dispatched Ferus and Vader to Bellassa, hoping that Ferus' presence there would help make the Empire's subjugation of the planet that much easier.

Despite the fact that he knew he was working to make things better, Ferus was sickened by the role he had to play in his dangerous game. Former friends and allies, such as the Eleven and Roan Lands' family, were forced to watch him play the role of an Imperial lackey, and he was unable to disprove their fears or help them understand his mission. He found himself thinking back to his early training, when he questioned Master Tachi on the true meaning of attachment. Thus, he was happy and surprised when Roan made contact with him in Ussa, and explained that Ferus needed to do something about his situation before the Bellassan people lost their faith in him.

Ferus resolved to escape from the Empire and return to the resistance. However, he needed to learn more about the Empire's plans for Bellassa, as well as information about the Twilight project. Ferus arranged to Roan, Trever, and Amie Antin to infiltrate the Empire's facilities, then set out to break into Moff Tarkin's computer system. They were discovered by Darth Vader, who confronted Ferus before igniting his lightsaber and killed Roan before anyone could react. Ferus lashed out with his own lightsaber, but was no match for Vader's strength. Trever managed to escape, but Ferus and Amie were imprisoned.

Ferus figured that he would be put to death, but found himself confronted by Emperor Palpatine himself. Palpatine offered Ferus a chance to take over the search for Force-sensitive individuals who could be sent to the Imperial Naval Academy to assist in training Imperial pilots. Palpatine offered Ferus the chance to train with him directly, then explained that he would place the Inquisitorius at Ferus' disposal. According to Palpatine, Sano Sauro was getting nowhere in his own search because he didn't understand the Force. Ferus agreed, seeing it as a chance to locate any surviving Jedi, and to gain an edge over Darth Vader and avenge Roan's death.

On Coruscant, Ferus began working with Inquisitor Hydra, who provided him with a list of beings who had been involved in strange or unusual circumstances. With assistance from Malory Lands, Ferus was able to infiltrate the Emperor Palpatine Surgical Reconstruction Center to locate one of these Jedi. Once inside, he learned from Doctor Linna Naltree that Lune Oddo Divinian was being held in the facility by Jenna Zan Arbor. Doctor Naltree agreed to help cover his escape, allowing Ferus to get the young man to freedom.

Once Lune was safe, Ferus contacted Obi-Wan Kenobi to provide an update on his activities. When Obi-Wan learned that the Empire was hunting down Force-sensitive beings, he became concerned. When Ferus described an infant on Alderaan, Obi-Wan ordered him to ensure that the child remained safe from the Empire. He provided no explanation to Ferus, fearing that it might be the daughter of Anakin Skywalker. His position as Head Inquisitor gave him a reason to be on Alderaan, but he had to distract Inquisitor Hydra with enough evidence to make her believe the incident was merely a coincidence. The mission to Alderaan was difficult for Ferus, who had to serve the role of an Imperial while interviewing one of his heroes, Bail Organa. He had also been given a holocron by Emperor Palpatine before leaving, and the holocron seemed to be able to understand his emotions, and goaded him whenever he tried to do the right thing.

While keeping Hydra from discovering the identity of Leia Organa, Ferus was also investigating the rise to power of Darth Vader. With help from Amie Antin, he learned that Vader had been on the planet Mustafar before he was injured, and Ferus used this knowledge to goad the Dark Lord. When Vader responded with a phrase that had once been used by Anakin Skywalker, Ferus understod that Vader had once been Skywalker. Although the knowledge frightened him, Ferus had to keep his emotions in check, for he was assigned to serve as Vader's second-in-command by Emperor Palpatine. This proved harder than he thought, since the holocron that Palpatine had given him had begun to exert its own power over him.

His emotions boiled over when it was discovered that Flame was actually Eve Yarrow, and that she was secretly working for the Empire. Ferus had been transporting a group of rebel leaders to his asteroid base, and a tracking beacon was discovered on their ship, a ship that had been acquired with the help of Eve Yarrow. The placement of the tracking beacon had to have been done by someone on the actual ship, pointing to the presence of a spy onboard. Rather than waiting for more trouble, Ferus suddenly suggested that they line up all the passengers and threaten to shoot them unless someone confessed to being a spy. Ry-Gaul tried to bring Ferus under control, but Trever's admanant support of Flame's innocence only added to the anger Ferus was feeling. He even considered executing Flame for her duplicity, but Solace suggested that they leave her on a remote moon instead.

However, the discussion also led to the discovery that Operation Twilight had been put in place to destroy any organized resistance to the Empire. Any record of the actions of any member of their group had to be erased, in order to protect the fledgling resistance. Ferus then returned to Coruscant in order to intercept any possible communication between Flame and Darth Vader. Although he managed to reach the Jedi Temple before Vader and erase Flame's correspondence, Ferus was confronted by the Dark Lord as he tried to escape. Instead of shunning the Dark Side of the Force, however, Ferus embraced it enough to draw power from Vader's own anger. Ferus increased Vader's anger by taunting him with the truth of his origin as Anakin Skywalker. Although he was much stronger, Ferus also realized that the situation gave him a choice of paths to take, much like his decision to leave the Jedi Order in the first place. Rather than succumbing to the Dark Side, Ferus chose to return to the Light Side, at which point he realized that the decision was what ultimately made him a Jedi.

Ferus fled to the remains of the Star Map Room, where he was able to throw the Sith Holocron into the power core of the Jedi Temple, breaking its hold on him. Unfortunately, Vader's agents had already discovered the location of his asteroid base, and there was nothing Ferus could do to prevent Imperial forces from destroying it. Instead, Ferus went deep into hiding, taking a circuitous route to return Lune Oddo to his mother before reuniting with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Tatooine. Obi-Wan allowed Ferus to ensure that Trever Flume was safe, before having Ferus travel to Alderaan, where he served as Leia Organa's secret bodyguard, in much the same way that Obi-Wan was protecting Luke Skywalker. Ferus tried to keep watch over Leia from the grasslands, well away from humanity, but this became increasingly difficult as Leia matured into a young woman. In order to get closer to her, Ferus adopted the guise of Fess Olin, a man whose demeanor was based on a need to get close to powerful people without drawing attention to himself. Leia came to think of Fess Ilee as a distrustful, repugnant man, but this served Ferus's purposes just fine. For years he made inroads with Senator Bail Organa, gaining access to the royal residence, which allowed him to keep regular tabs on Leia's development.

His disguise was discovered shortly after the Battle of Yavin, when he learned that Leia had survived the destruction of Alderaan, and was visiting the planet Delaya. Ferus himself had been traveling in space when Alderaan was destroyed, but was relieved to hear that Leia had survived. Much to his surprise, Ferus learned that one of Leia's companions was Luke Skywalker, having seen that the young man carried Anakin Skywalker's old lightsaber. Ferus explained to Luke that he had adopted the Fess Ilee guise in order to stay close to Leia, and that the man who was Ferus Olin had not existed for many years. Ferus nearly explained the true parentage of both Luke and Leia, but the spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi appeared to him and explained that the destinies of both young people were not ready to be revealed. Ferus reluctantly agreed to keep the secret to himself, fearing that an untrained Luke might turn to the Dark Side like Anakin Skywalker had. Ferus was a bit surprised when Obi-Wan left it up to Ferus whether to tell Leia the truth, with Obi-Wan placing his trust in Ferus in the same way that he asked for Ferus' trust with Luke. However, the presence of Tobin Elad as part of Leia's group troubled Ferus, since the man seemed to exist while the Force flowed around him, rather than through him. His concern was only heightened when, during a mission to rescue Leia from Imperial captivity, Ferus witnessed Tobin Elad use an Imperial torture technique to force an officer to reveal Leia's whereabouts.

Once Leia was rescued and freed, she offered him a chance to join the Alliance, but Ferus had to refuse. He stated that it had nothing to do with how she had treated Fess Ilee during her youth, but that his priorities were on Delaya at that moment. He then revealed his true identity to Leia, hoping to clear away any secrets between them. At the bidding of Obi-Wan's spirit, Ferus then traveled to Tythe, where he paid Griggs Pe'et to hired Han Solo for a simple job that would help Ferus locate Slej Hant. Ferus had heard that Hant was traveling to the Subterrel Sector of the galaxy in search of information on the man who had destroyed the first Death Star, and he feared that Hant might find records of Luke Skywalker's birth on Polis Massa.

The droid survived long enough to send a message to the ship's central computer before being blasted to bits. (COD)

Olum
This man served the Empire as a Chief Engineer in the armed forces, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Chief Olum was one of the few men who served under Captain Andal Sait who did not agree with the Captain's plans to defect from Imperial service and sell the Star Destroyer to Black Sun. He went along with the plan, however, in order to ensure that he could expose Sait later on. In order to get a message back to the Empire, Chief Olum had to launch a wing of TIE Fighters. In the ensuing confusion, he sent a subspace transmission with the details of Sait's plans, hoping that the transmission would reach Imperial forces before Sait succeeded with his plans. However, Captain Sait discovered what he had done, and ordered Chief Olum to be captured and held in the brig. (SWGAL)

Olyeg, Sirrik
This female Chagrian earned the respect of Hugo Bartyn as a boat captain on the planet Lamaredd, many centuries before the Galactic Civil War. After toiling for nearly two decades as an underpaid laborer, she finally earned the right to pilot her own ship. However, she was not blind to the fact that Bartyn was a pro-human bigot who only kept his alien workforce on-hand because they were invaluable assets. Olyeg quietly began to foment unrest among the other non-human ship captains, and was instrumental in staging several work stoppages that attracted the attention of Bartyn. It was Olyeg who demanded a meeting with Bartyn, and he was forced to agree to her terms in order to maintain his business. Among the concessions were the ceding of Jotsen's Island to the Union and the opening of large portions of The Ring to non-human inhabitants. Because of her work, Olyeg was named the first chairbeing of the Sailor's Union.

It was the third planet in the Thrantin System, located in the Ollonir Boundaries, and was orbitted by a single moon. Originally a grass-covered world, the planet itself was almost completed terraformed by Barosa Warren to suit the needs of the Galactic Outdoor Survival School. Thus, the planet's surface was dotted with artificial deserts, forests, rocky mountains, deep valleys, and even a few terra-engineered lava pits. Gravity on most parts of the planet was considered to be within the galactic norm, although Warren installed repulsorlifts and gravitic generators to alter gravity in various locations,even to the point having zero-gravity environments. Bodies of water were common, as were lakes of ammonia and rethys. (AIR, OWS)

When Doctor Lundi traveled to Kodai in search of a Sith Holocron, Omal discovered that another student, Norval, was trailing him in order to steal the Holocron for himself. Omal set out to stop Norval from achieving this. When Norval tried to steal the Holocron for himself, Omal fought to retain the Holocron for Doctor Lundi. In the struggle that ensued, Omal and Norval lost the Holocron when it fell into a deep, underwater chasm.

Unknown to his surgeon, Jos Vondar, it had been Sar Omant and his command that led the attack on Rimsoo Seven that killed Zan Yant. Vondar had been ordered to do what he could to keep Omant alive, since Republic Intelligence wanted him to survive for later interrogation. Vondar, still reeling from the death of Zan Yant, struggled to understand why he needed to save Omant, when there were clone troopers who needed his services more. (SWI83, OWS)

Omas, Cal
A native of the planet Alderaan, Cal Omas was a member of the Alliance from its earliest days. He survived many battles and struggles, and eventually rose to become a Senator in the New Republic. He was sympathetic to the plight of Luke Skywalker, who hoped to restore the Jedi Council in order to rein in the independent Jedi acting with Kyp Durron. Unfortunately for the Jedi, and for many of the galaxy's inhabitants, Senator Omas was among those Advisory Council members who were lost in the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant.

He reappeared on the planet Calamari, leading the remnants of the Republic's leadership in an effort to re-establish control of the galaxy. When the self-appointed Chief of State Pwoe refused to join the Republic on Calamari - instead, calling for them to join him on Kuat - the remnants of the Republic ostracized Pwoe and elected Omas to serve as the new Chief of State. Among his first acts, Cal Omas vowed to recreate the Jedi Council, working with Luke Skywalker to form the High Council. He continued to work toward ending the war with the Yuuzhan Vong and bringing the galaxy back together, and was one of the first to support to formation of the Galactic Alliance.

However, the toll of the war continued to drain him, and it was one of his most difficult decisions to allow a new strain of the Alpha Red virus to be deployed on Caluula. After hearing the report of Leia Organa Solo from her experiences on Caluula, Omas agreed that the Alpha Red project needed to be shut down, but Leia knew that pressure from Dif Scaur might only postpone further deployment.

Eventually, the Yuuzhan Vong were defeated, and Omas began to think that the war was much easier to deal with than the Reconstruction that followed. He was forced to try and balance the needs of the entire galaxy against the various petitions and demands for assistance from refugees and dishomed races, as well as ensuring that corporate interests didn't become too burdensome or illegal. In order to maintain some semblance of order, he made far too many compromises, and was often forced to bow to the demands of the rich or wealth corporations. This only allowed the corruption that destroyed the Old Republic to begin seeping back into the Galactic Alliance Senate.

When the crisis with the hives of the Colony arose at Qoribu, Omas was forced to defend the Galactic Alliance, but at the expense of further dishoming many of the races that had been driven off their homeworlds by the Yuuzhan Vong. The initial crisis, which included a war with the Chiss, was averted, but the Dark Nest was not destroyed. He used the continued trouble with the Gorog hive as a pretense for avoiding the need to address the problems associated with galactic reconstruction. A year later, he was forced to blockade the Utegetu Nebula in an effort to keep the Colony from expanding beyond its borders. He was also forced to demand that the Jedi name a leader, while Luke Skywalker was stranded on Woteba, and pushed to have Corran Horn assume leadership of the Jedi council. He hoped that Horn's conservative stance would splinter the Jedi Order, creating a body of squabbling factions that were unable to react to the crisis caused by the Dark Nest. His plan nearly succeeded, until Master Skywalker named himself Grand Master of the Jedi and forced the various Jedi Masters to agree on a plan for eliminating the Dark Nest and stopping the Colony. It was later rumored that Omas had been playing all sides of the conflict in such a way that he ensured the safety of the Galactic Alliance, including the relaying of information on secret military operations to the Chiss, as a good-faith attempt to avoid an all-out war. No formal charges were levelled against him, as the galactic situation was once again peaceful at the conclusion of the Swarm War.

This relative peace didn't last long, however, as Thrackan Sal-Solo again made overtures at Corellian independence. This time, however, he began amassing warships to back up his threats. Omas began to flounder under the threat of another war, and many leaders within the government and the military began to se ways of bypassing his control of the galaxy. Among them was the military hardliner, Admiral Cha Niathal, and the Jedi Knight, Jacen Solo. Both lobbied for a stronger position with the Corellians, and both managed to win victories over Omas in their own way. Solo was given command of the Galactic Alliance Guard, which was ostensibly formed by Omas to protect the citizens of Coruscant against Corellian terrorists. Niathal, upon Gilad Pellaeon's retirement following the formation of the GAG, was promoted to Supreme Commander, and began planning a complete blockade of the Corellian System, in an effort to force Sal-Solo to stand down.

The assassination of Sal-Solo didn't end Omas' problems, as Dur Gejjen and his coalition government steadfastly refused to recall their military assets. With little other choice, Omas was forced to acknowledge that the Galactic Alliance was truly at war with the Corellians. As the Confederation gained new members, Omas was quoted within the Senate as saying, "If we can't beat them, divide them," a stance that didn't garner him much support. When the Battle of Gilatter Eight turned out to be little more than a draw, Omas blamed the Galactic Alliance Guard for providing poor intelligence, earning him the ire of Jacen Solo.

In the wake of the battle, the Galactic Alliance Guard discovered a recording of a meeting between Oman and Dur Gejjen, in which the duo planned to end the war and remake the galaxy to their own ends. They agreed to meet on Vulpter to discuss the cease-fire, which provided Jacen Solo with the opportunity to assassinate Gejjen and unseat Oman as Chief of State. On Vulpter, Omas was only mildly surprised when Gejjen requested that Jacen Solo and Admiral Cha Niathal be eliminated before any agreement could be finalized. Their business finished, Omas returned to Coruscant, unaware that Gejjen had been shot dead, and that Jacen Solo was waiting for him. At one minute past midnight, Solo invoked the amendments he had made to the Emergency Measures Act, and had Omas sent to prison for his duplicity.

Omas was both surprised and dismayed when Solo read him the terms of his arrest, realizing that Solo had manipulated the law in order to gain a position of unprecedented power. In the following weeks, Omas remained under house arrest, but no further legal action was taken by Solo or Cha Niathal. In response, Omas and his lawyers demanded that formal charges be brought against him to justify his arrest. Omas also demanded a public trial, hoping to expose Solo's true intentions. While he waited for trial, Omas feared for his life. He was befriended by Lieutenant Jonat of the Galactic Alliance Guard, and used her comlink to keep in touch with his family and assure them that he was safe.

Jonat recorded all of Omas' conversations, providing them to Jacen Solo, who used them to convince Ben Skywalker that Omas had ordered the killing of Mara Jade Skywalker. When Ben infiltrated his apartments and confronted Omas, the truth was finally revealed. However, Ben had no intention of killing Omas, and instead revealed that he believed Jacen had been the one to kill Mara. Omas understood Ben's reasons for this, and also understood that the only way Ben could prove Jacen's guilt was to get close to him again. When the Coruscant Security Force arrived to protect him, Omas flung himself onto Ben's lightsaber, making it appear as if a Jedi had killed him. He died hoping that it was enough to convince Jacen to trust Ben again, thereby allowing the young man to avenge his death and restore peace to the galaxy.

Omega, Granta
This man placed a bounty on the heads of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Wren Honoran, some five years before the onset of the Clone Wars. He grew up on the moon of Nierport Seven, after his mother found work at the refuleing station there. When he was old enough, he left the moon for Yerphonia, where he attended the All Sciences Research Academy after being sponsored by Sano Sauro. Much of his early career was clouded with mystery, but at some point he began to despise the Jedi Knights. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Omega hired a number of bounty hunters in order to ensure that the Jedi were captured during a training mission on Ragoon-6. However, the Jedi managed to escape the various traps that were set, including one set by Omega himself. Further investigation by the Jedi revealed that Omega and a native of Nierport Seven and, while not a Sith himself, collected Sith artifacts with proceeds from a variety of legitmate business connections. Most of Omega's business dealings involved the location of rare ores and minerals, then buying out the entire mine for himself. He could then charge whatever price he wanted for resources needed by the rest of the galaxy. His business connections were nebulous, though, and were not enough to pin down his exact identity. Omega reappeared to thwart the Jedi on Haariden, only to flee into the smoke of the civil war there. Obi-Wan later discovered that Omega was on Haariden to extract titanite, ostensibly in an effort to corner the galactic market on bacta. Meanwhile, Omega captured Anakin and revealed that he was working to destroy Jedi Knights in order to impress Darth Sidious, in an effort to curry favor with the Sith Lord. His efforts on Haaridan were thwarted when the Kaachtari volcano erupted before he could secure the titanite mines, and he fled into the depths of space. He reappeared on Mawan in the guise of the crimelord Striker, again luring Anakin into his lair when he realized the Jedi were traveling to Mawan to negotiate peace. Holding Anakin as bait, he hoped to lure a member of the Jedi Council into his lair and kill them, in an effort to impress the Sith Lord he belived to be gathering power in the galaxy. While he did succeed in taking Yaddle's life, the bioweapon he used did nothing to the population of Mawan. Omega continued to scheme, forming brief alliances with both Feeana Tala and Decca the Hutt in order to lure the Jedi into trap after trap. As he fled Mawan, Omega revealed to Obi-Wan that he was, in fact, the son of Xanatos. Months later, Omega was discovered to be working with Jenna Zan Arbor, hoping to use the Zone of Self-Containment as a way to quell the population into submission. Obi-Wan and Anakin began searching for his whereabouts, a search that led then to Romin and Falleen before ending on Coruscant. On Coruscant, the Jedi discovered that Granta Omega had been planning all along to assassinate Chancellor Palpatine, in order to install Sano Sauro as his puppet ruler. All the clues the Jedi had been able to discover only shifted the tack of his plans. When the Jedi discovered the Blackwater Systems facility on Falleen, Omega let them believed that the true delivery mechanism for the Zone of Self-Containment was through water. In reality, he planned to distribute it through the air. Thus, when Obi-Wan intercepted him on Coruscant, Omega was able to escape with the last laugh. Although he was unprepared for the actions of Anakin Skywalker, Granta was able to escape knowing that the Zone would be distributed by a group of seeker droids he had pre-programmed to launch. It was after this escape that Omega was finally given a chance to meet the Sith, and was invited to Korriban for the meeting. He traveled to the remote world with Zan Arbor, knowing that the Jedi would eventually follow him. On Korriban, he found himself growing stronger in the presence of so much Dark Side energy, and believed that he could defeat the Jedi. He especially hoped to destroy Obi-Wan, and got his chance in one of the many tombs in the Valley of the Dark Jedi. After meeting with the being who claimed he was a Sith Lord, Omega confronted Obi-Wan, but the weapon he was using overheated. In the resulting explosion, Omega was smashed against a wall and crushed. He refused to end the fight, and managed to get up and attack Obi-Wan once more. Unable to find another solution, Obi-Wan drew his lightsaber and slashed deeply into Omega's body. As he died, he goaded Obi-Wan one final time, claiming that the Jedi would never learn the identity of the Sith Lord. (JQ2, JQ4, JQ6, JQ9, JQ10, NECH)

The Omega 4 was the only ship among the Imperial vessels that kept firing on the Pondut station after it was disabled and captured, prompting Maarek Stele to fire his own ion cannons at the transport, in order to ensure that the station was captured intact. (TIEP)

Omega Exercise
This was the name given to the final training exercise the trainees at the Imperial Academy on Carida had to pass for being allowed to graduate. In most cases, the Omega Exercise was real-life action against the Alliance, and many students "failed" the exercise when they were killed in battle. (SFE)

Omega Frost
This superweapon was developed by Silas Tagge, the brother of Baron Orman Tagge, for use against the Alliance. Essentially, Omega Frost was a collection of large, vaporator-like devices which produced incredibly low temperatures. When activited in concert, these devices froze everything between them to solid ice in just a few seconds. Any moisture caught within the confines of the Omega Frost weapon quickly turned to ice, often shattering any material in which moisture was trapped. Initial testing of the device was done on the planet Tatooine, where entire plains of sand were flash-frozen in seconds. Silas Tagge's goal, however, was much grander: to be able to freeze an entire planet. The Omega Frost device was discovered by Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, during Luke's mission to recruit pilots for the Alliance. In a daring move, Luke tried to infiltrate the Tagge starship and determine the plans for Omega Frost. He was captured and brought before Orman Tagge, but Luke defeated him in combat and escaped. His ship was purposely disabled by Orman's younger brother, Silas, and Luke was forced to land on one of the many asteroids near Junction. What Silas had not foreseen, however, was that Luke would make it to one of the asteroids where the Omega Frost generators had been placed. Luke was able to destroy its power source, and the loss of the generator shut down the entire Omega Frost system. The Alliance ships, free to move through the asteroids, destroyed the Tagge ship and continued to Junction. (MC32, MC34)

Omega Gaila
This Imperial transport vessel was one of many that made a regular supply run to the construction site of the first Death Star, during the early years of the New Order. It carried ammunition from the Regional Naval Supply Area near Gall, ensuring that the defenses both on the planet Despayre and in space were adequately armed. The Omega Gaila was the ship that carried a sabotaged cargo crate to the Star Destroyer Undauntable, which later exploded and destroyed the ship, along with a section of the Death Star itself. (DSTR)

Omega One
This was the self-destruct code phrase used by Apwar Trigit aboard the Implacable. (WS)

Omega Order Five
This was the codename for the Imperial order to destroy all records - hardcopy, datafiles, computer cores, etc. - before abandoning a base of operations. (DARK)

Omega Signal
The retreat and evacuation code signal used by the Alliance and, later on, the New Republic. (E5R, WS)

Omega Squad
This was the designation of a team of clone commandos that was formed in the wake of the Battle of Geonosis. Its four members - RC-1309, RC-1136, RC-8015, and RC-3222; otherwise known as Niner, Darman, Fi, and Atin, respectively - were each the sole survivors of other groups of commandos, and were put together for the Old Republic's mission to capture Ovolot Qail Uthan on Qiilura. Omega Squad was part of of the 05 Commando Brigade, one of the ten units of the Special Operations Brigade within Arca Company, and was based out of Coruscant during the height of the Clone Wars. The clones of Omega Squad were quite attached to their instructor, Kal Skirata, and often displayed open affection and comradery when they were reunited with Skirata. This was in contrast to the demeanor of Delta Squad, who maintained a cool displacement from their instructor, Walon Vau.

Interestingly, about fifteen months after the Battle of Geonosis, Vau joined Skirata and members of Omega Squad in the search for Ko Sai. During this time, the Omegas were essentially absent without leave from their unit, but none of them minded. If Skirata thought that the mission was important, they would do whatever it took help him complete it. After locating Ko Sai on Dorumaa, it was learned that Delta Squad had been assigned to Arligan Zey, who was also searching for Ko Sai, but on direct orders from Chancellor Palpatine himself. (RCHC, SWI81, RCTZ, RCTC)

Omega-1B
This Imperial Security Bureau ID denoted an incredibly high level of security. Actions and datafiles with Omega-1B clearance were highly confidential. (POM)

Omega-class Freighter
This was a boxy freighter that was designed for use by the Empire, during the height of the New Order. (IWST)

Omegi
This term from the Bocce langauge translated into Basic as "cargo". (GPB)

Ome-goosa
This was the Gungan word for the deep depths of Naboo's oceans. (GPB)

O-Melie
This Keganite woman was married to V-Nen. Together, they gave birth to a daughter, who was named O-Lana. They discovered that their daughter was strong with the Force, and contacted the Jedi Knights on Coruscant despite the possible destruction of the Common Good. When O-Lana was kidnapped and held in the Relearning Circle, O-Melie and V-Nen were unable to openly ask the Jedi to help, but instead pleaded with their eyes and their emotions. (FFT)

Omen
Built by Tapani shipwrights, this ancient transport ship had been part of the Sith Empire's naval fleet, during the height of the Sith Empire, more than 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. During the era of the Great Hyperspace War, the Omen was a mining ship that had been part of an armada that was transporting Lignan crystals and Massassi warriors to the plaent Kirrek, when it was discovered by a Jedi starfighter near Phaegon III. Her sister ship, the Harbinger, took several hits to its drive systems, and careened out of control. Commander Yaru Korsin managed to rally his crew, and ordered an immediate - and blind - jump into hyperspace, hoping to save his cargo. Korsin believed that the Sith might have survived, but the ship encountered a gravity well while still in hyperspace, and the combination of extreme velocities and gravitational forces began to tear it apart as it rocketed through hyperspace. The Omen began to shake itself apart because of the stress. Luckily for the crew and its cargo of warriors, the ship's armory was simply ripped from the superstructure, and did not explode during the crisis. However, the loss of mass quickly caused the Omen to lose velocity, and it dropped out of hyperspace without any warning. Commander Korsin and the crew found themselves hurtling toward the planet Kesh, but they were able to open the ship's missile tubes and slow it down enough to crash-land near the top of a rugged peak in the Cetajan Mountains. 355 survived the landing, although twenty-one were killed while descending from the mountain, and all of the surviving Massassi warriors expired within a few days, leaving just 240 beings by the time they were discovered by the Keshiri.

The survivors took what they could from the wreckage in order to survive, realizing that the Omen would never fly again. Over time, the site of its landing on Kesh became an important landmark to the survivors, and a new Sith Temple was erected to protect it. The following centuries saw further construction on the Temple, and the Omen was eventually covered by new structures. Future generations were told of the passage through hyperspace and the landing on Kesh, although some came to believe that only bits and pieces of the ship actually remained. Others believed that the Omen still contained a wealth of information and knowledge of the Sith Empire, and that this information was guarded by the Sith Lords and Masters who ruled their society. (LTS1, LTS2, FJ2)

Omgiya
This female Ithorian served as the Flight Plan Supervisor aboard the herdship Errant Trader, overseeing all of the herdship's operations and managing its day-to-day needs. Serving under the command of Captain Onuumu, Supervisor Omgiya was known for her ability to resolve disputes among the herdship's passengers and crew. (GMR4)

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

Omicron
This Imperial transport was used to carry war materiel to military bases, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. It was captured by Keyan Farlander and his Y-Wing squadron, but Farlander's squadron suffered several casualties during the mission. (XW, XWP)

Omicron Hunter-21X
This was an unusual variation on the freigher design, sometimes seen during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWGAL)

Omicron Talva Heresy
This belief was brought to light during the years following the Pius Dea Period in galactic history, some 11,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The Omicron Talva Heresy stated that, "The scientist discovers, the merchant exploits. The worker produced, the owner distributes. The producer makes, the consumer destroys. The reconciliation of these forces is called capitalism." (OWS)

Omiddelon III
This planet was unusual in that its rotational plane was perpendicular to its orbital plane. This situation resulted in a planet of hostile weather conditions, dominated by an intensely hot climate broken only by a short mild season. After the mild season, Omiddelon III was subjected to a frigid winter, then another short period of mildness before returning to the blistering heat. Despite this hostile environment, the planet supported several forms of life, including the adar. (COG)

Omin, Isaru
This man was one of the Senate Guards, serving under Commander Zalin Bey during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Isaru and his partner, Sagoro Autem, were assigned to investigate the murder of Jheramahd Greyshade, allowing Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker to protect Simon Greyshade. Obi-Wan discovered that Isaru was quite sensitive to the Force, and Isaru revealed that he had been tested but was considered too old at two years of age to be trained. As the investigation proceeded, revealing that Greyshade's killer was Sagoro's older brother, Venco Autem, Isaru had to struggle to keep his personal feelings out of the investigation. He reluctantly supported Zalin Bey's order for Sagoro to leave the investigation, knowing that it was best for Sagoro's career. When the investigation was completed, after Sagoro was forced to shoot and kill Venco to protect Simon Greyshade, Isaru found himself between a rock and a hard place. Sagoro was his best friend, but Sagoro also planned to allow his son Reymet to flee Coruscant. Reymet would have been imprisoned for providing Sagoro's authorization codes to Venco, who used them to gain access to the Senate Rotunda. Isaru had planned to arrest Reymet, but was forced to arrest Sagoro instead. During the height of the Clone Wars, Omin was part of a Guard detachment that was assigned to protect Senator Bail Organa. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Isaru learned that his old friend Sagoro was on Coruscant, attending the ceremonies that announced the formation of the Imperial Fleet. When he learned that Sagoro had been targetted for arrest, Isaru took a chance and went to Sagoro's apartment to tell his friend to flee the planet before he was captured. When questioned about his motives by Sagoro, Isaru claimed that he was unable to reconcile serving in the new Imperial armed forces, and that his loyalties remained with his friends. Unfortunately, Isaru was confronted by Darth Vader shortly afterward, and the Dark Lord of the Sith was not happy that Sagoro had escaped. In his anger, Vader cut Isaru down with his lightsaber, ending his life with one swift stroke. (RHD, RHF, RL)

Ominaz, Ignar
One of the galaxy's most famous swoop racers, Ignar was popular during the last years of the Old Republic, when he vied with Serji-X Arrogantus for the Corulag championships. Ominaz rode an Ikas-Adno JP-420 swoop for Team Millennium Holos, and held a large number of speed and distance records. Years later, Ominaz was killed on Caprioril when an assassin droid wiped out an entire swoop arena in an attempt to kill the planet's governor, Amel Bakli. (SWSB, HNN5)

Omin-Oreh
This soft-spoken being hailed from a distant worl in the the Outer Rim Territories. Omin-Oreh joined the Alliance and was trained as a starfighter pilot. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, he was severely injured while capturing the Imperial transport ship Omicron. Luckily, his body was recovered and taken to the medical facilities aboard the Independence, and Omin-Oreh made a complete recovery. (XW, XWP)

Omipal
This sweet-smelling incense was burned during the Yuuzhan Vong ceremony of appellation, or naming. (EVC)

Omis, Arak
This imposing Aramandi served as the Taal of the Aramand Cluster at the height of the New Order. A pushy and argumentive being, Arak Omis was a member of the Cirra akia who was nonetheless well-known and respected for his ability to fairly solve any dispute. He despised the Lant Mining Corporation, and flatly refused to grant LMC any form of mining rights to the planets in the Aramand Cluster. When the Empire first started to take control of Brak Sector, Arak Omis found himself humbled before its military might, and he worked to appease the Emprie whenever and wherever possible while keeping the Aramand Cluster in the control of the Aramandi. (FBS)

Omkoo
This Aqualish was hired by the Federation of the Double Worlds to protect Talus' graveyards from robbers, who suddenly started stealing coffins and dead bodies during the months following the Battle of Yavin. (SWGAL)

Omlaut
This Imperial Lambda-class shuttle was discovered by Maarek Stele in the Sepan System, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. Stele and his squadron had been protecting the carrier vessel Tropsobor, and Stele was returning to the Protector when the shuttle entered the system. Stele discovered that the shuttle was carrying members of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, but he decided to let the shuttle go because it was flying under Imperial transponder codes. The Omlaut later docked with the Protector, and the Alliance personnel were taken directly to Admiral Harkov's quarters. This sequence of events alerted members of the Secret Order of the Empire to Harkov's traitorous activities. (TIE, TIEP)

Omman
This planet had a very diverse set of cultures during the height of the New Order. It was orbited by five moons. (SWJ3, SWJ12, LJ7)

Ommin
This man was the king of the planet Onderon some 350 years after the start of the Beast Wars, shortly before the Great Sith War. Like his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather before him, Ommin took control of Onderon and ruled through the use of the Dark Side of the Force. He became enthralled by Freedon Nadd's teachings, and when the spirit of Nadd approached him, Ommin allowed the Dark Jedi to grow in power. When the Jedi Knights were dispatched to Onderon to put an end to the Beast Wars, Ommin was revealed as Freedon Nadd's descendant. He carried some of the Dark Side ability with him, and his marriage to Queen Amanoa helped to bring out the Dark Side in him.

Following the death of Amanoa during the intervention of Jedi Master Arca and his Jedi Knights, Ommin went into hiding, and was kept alive by mechanical means. Only his daughter, Galia, and a few trusted advisors knew he was still alive. When Arca came to Ommin to request help in recovering the stolen remains of Freedon Nadd, Ommin drew on the Dark Side of the Force to capture Arca. Ommin used the Dark Side to reach out to Satal Keto and Aleema, who had stolen Sith artifacts from the Galactic Museum on Coruscant. However, the artifacts couldn't save Ommin from the pureness of the Light Side, which had led Ulic Qel-Droma to his underground lair. Qel-Droma defeated Ommin with a swift slash of his lightsaber, crumpling Ommin's mechanical armatures and reducing the withered king to a formless mass of flesh. The spirit of Freedon Nadd, set free by the use of the Sith artifacts, finished what Ulic had started by taking Ommin's soul, finally killing him and ending his rule of Onderon. (FNU, DLS, TOJC, EGF)

Ommis, Kesin
This weapons specialist was a native of Coruscant. He joined the Alliance about a year after the Battle of Yavin, and served as a gunnery mate on several starships including the escort frigate Tharen. An expert in weapons operation, Kesin was assigned to the Echo Base to assist wherever possible. He pulled gunnery duty with Hobbie Klivian during the Battle of Hoth, where he was injured in the fighting. (CCG3, SWI74)

Ommni Box
This device could alter the tones and sounds of musical instruments. It required a great deal of aural sensitivity, coupled with intense concentration and analytic ability, to manage the instrument. When used correctly, the ommni box helped to attenuate and clip the music at precise tones and ranges, adding to the overall composition. An ommni box took in the surrounding music by way of a unique, multi-level receptor dish known as the Ommni Wheel, and was capable of producing deep, bottom-end bass notes. (TME, SWG2P, CVD)

Ommni Wheel
This was the name of the wheel-shaped device found at the top of an Ommni Box, which was used to modulate the sound produced by the instrument. (VD)

Omni Box
see Ommni Box (MBS)

Omnicam
This was an inexpensive form of hovercam, developed for use along the more remote sections of a podracing course. These cameras were often held aloft by balloons instead of repulsor engines, so they were often stationary, and provided only a glimpse of the podracers as they sped past the omnicam's position. (CVD)

Omni-directional Sensor Globe
This small, somewhat spherical device was produced by Siep-Irol for a variety of application. An omni-directional sensor globe provided the user with a 360-degree sweep of the surrounding environment, although it was limited to surveying anything at its line-of-sight or higher. Thus, the sensor globe could not accurately describe anything that was below the horizon, or hidden behind a mountain or solid structure. (E4VG)

Omnigate
This was the generic term used to describe any computer circuit chip that could be used to bridge between any two circuits. It could be used a a sort of passkey to bypass security settings and access portions of encrypted or segregated data. (DN3)

Omnino
This Venan woman was a Baroness from the planet Vena, who represented her homeworld during its negotiations with the Old Republic. Some thirteen years before the Battle of Naboo, Omnino's husand Kindoro was killed while traveling through Republic space under the escort of Qui-Gon Jinn. She held a grudge against the Jedi Knights, and Qui-Gon in particular, for the rest of her life. Baroness Omnino became the ruler of the planet Vena in the wake of Kindoro's death, and served as regent for their son Sando. However, she lacked her husband's leadership skills, and she was forced to deal with the Vena Isolationist faction herself. She turned to the use of mind-control devices to manipulate other beings, thereby keeping the isolationists under control. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, she was targetted for assassination by the Vena Isolationists from her homeworld, who wanted to keep Vena neutral in galactic politics, and was attacked when she arrived on Coruscant.

In an unexpected turn of events, she requested Qui-Gon's protection while she was on Coruscant. She apologized to Qui-Gon, but secretly began plotting her revenge against him. She used her son, Sando's, disappearance near Ord Mantell as an excuse to draw Qui-Gon into her trust. She hoped to have Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan Kenobi stumble upon Taxer Sundown's operations on Ord Mantell, where they would have already destroyed the reputation of the Jedi. When Omnino realized that the Jedi had uncovered her plotting, Omnino used a mind-control device similar to Taxer Sundown's to capture Chancellor Valorum and hold him hostage. Qui-Gon was forced to confront her, and when he tricked her into watching her step, Qui-Gon beheaded her with his lightsaber. (LSOM, WOTC, EGF)

OmniNode ComSet
This BCC communication package provides a wide range of real-time, multisignal communications. (ROE)

Omniprobe
A device which can track and destroy a probe droid. (PDS)

Omniron
An invigorating and rejuvenating automatic cleaner used in most spas and resorts, the omniron employed a series of six fifteen-second cycles to thoroughly cleanse a being's body. It first issued a cold-water spray, followed by sonic vibration, heat, cleansing, air drying, and an emollient rub. (HSL)

OmniTask
This droid brain was fast enough to record and calculate ten million bits of information per second. The OmniTask was used primarily in droids which mediated disputes and acted as translators, as it allowed them to assimilate a huge quantity of data on an alien culture in a short period of time. (GOF1)

Omni-Vu
This was the name of one of Siep-Irol's passive sensor systems. They were used on the Sienar Fleet Systems GAT-12j blastboat. (TTSB)

Omogg
This Drackmarian female was the owner of Nabrun Leids' contract until the Morseerian broke it and fled. After the Battle of Endor, she met up with Han Solo in one of Coruscant's casinos. She got into a high-stakes sabacc match with him, and eventually lost the deed to the planet Dathomir to Han. She passed it off as a Drackmarian world. Omogg was later captured and interrogated by Ta'a Chume's personal guards who were searching for Solo and Leia Organa, but the interrogation was interrupted by Luke Skywalker, to whom she gives the name and location of Dathomir. (CPL, SSR)

Omoht
This small creature, native to the planet Ansion, was sometimes kept as a pet by the Gwurran. (APS)

Omonda, Canna
This woman replaced Mon Mothma as Chandrila's Senator, and served on the Imperial Senate until Emperor Palpatine dissolved the Senate, just prior to the Battle of Yavin. Senator Omonda openly criticized the dismantling of the Senate, which angered Palpatine. She also refused to serve as a voice for those who wanted an explanation when the Senate was disbanded, instead stating simply that those suddenly-outraged Senators should have seen the writing on the walls many years before, as Mon Mothma had.

When Senator Omonda returned to Chandrila, Emperor Palpatine charged her with treason, and sent three Star Destroyers to Chandrila to execute her. Senator Omonda apparently turned over a complete confession of her actions to High Inquisitor Halmere, and was publicly executed during the planet's Fete Week. (SWJ3, SWJ4, OWS)

Omonoth
This small star was discovered by the ancient Arkanians, during the years following the Great Sith War. Omonoth was a dying star, too small to explode and too large to become a white dwarf. Because of its size, Omonoth never formed or collected a planetary system. Instead, the surrounding space was littered with the minor asteroids and space rubble it was able to attract. Additionally, the star emitted heavy elements as it aged, filling the system with a wealth of ore and mineral resources. The ancient Arkanians set up a mining operation in the system, only to have their facilities beseiged by a swarm of exogorths that had discovered the system. The creatures fed ravenously on the natural materials, and even consumed the Arkanian mining droids that were working in the system, leaving little behind for the Arkanians.

As Omonoth continued to die out, the exogorths continued to feed, until all resources in the system had been consumed. The exogorths then went into a form of hibernation, saving their strength in order to eventually move to another system. The Arkanians, using the knowledge gained by Gorman Vandrayk and his scientific team, discovered that the exogorths could be used to convert entire star systems into wastelands. To preserve the security of Project Black Harvest, the leaders of Adascorp kept the location of Omonoth a secret, using Vandrayk's experience to control the exogorths and breed them into monstrous tools of destruction. (KOR5, WOTC)

OmoTact Corporation
This manufacturer produced unusual skyships like the Roahks 7m for use in planetary atmospheres. (GG2)

Ompersan
This planet was the site of the Imperial fleet records system, in the years following the Battle of Endor. (VOF)

Ompiach
This infamous Nalroni criminal was the leader of the Hy'thor Pirate gang, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. (AIR)

Ompren, Sil
This Imperial Colonel was killed when their repulsorcraft was sabotaged by Ostan Atur and exploded. (SWJ10)

Om-Thaim
Manufacturers of large-scale shield generators for capital ships. (SCRE)

Omwaan
This Wookiee was known as one of Kachirho's most skilled adventurers, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWGAL)

Omwat
The homeworld of the Omwati race, Omwat was located in the Outer Rim Territories. Omwat was covered with sprawling savannas and rugged mountains. During the height of the Clone Wars, Omwat was the site of an intense battle some six months after the destruction of Honoghr. (JS, YDR)

Omwatese
This was the name given to the native language of the Omwati people. The spoken form was considered an elegant language, made up from a collection of odd tonal inflections. The written form resembled a flowing script in which letters fit together like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle. (ANT, UANT)

Omwati
This race of slender humanoids was native to the planet Omwat. The Omwati were distinguished by their light blue skin and their feathery hair, and their wide, blue eyes gave them a look of amazed astonishment. Omwati children were extremely intelligent, and were capable of astounding mental feats at early ages. Their civilization evolved with the basic premise that the Omwati were the only sentient species in the galaxy. Thus, their society was based on technological advancement that did not disrupt the natural environment in which they lived. This society was altered when Wilhuff Tarkin first discovered the planet Omwat. He left behind new forms of technology, but he hid the fact that a colony of Omwati lived on the planet Coruscant. Tarkin then kept the Omwati as his indentured laborers, using the best and brightest Omwati children for the development of super weapons. After the Battle of Endor, the New Republic eventually made contact with the Omwati, but only after the Omwati were given proof of the deaths of Tarkin and the Emperor. (JS, ANT)

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

Omze's Incredible Traveling Starport
This bulk cruiser, formerly known as the Allanthia, was purchased by the Sludir Omze'kehr Kahr and transformed into a mobile starport. Omze added three main docking bays in the ship's holds, each of which could hold four small freighters. Its decks were scattered with free-traders hawking a variety of wares and services, and the variety of alien races was unparalleled. Omze and his ship traveled throughout the Mid and Outer Rim Territories, providing services and entertainment as it moved. The ship's schedule was known only to Omze himself, and changed at a moment's notice. One of the most distinguishing features of Omze's Incredible Traveling Starport was its anti-human bias. (PSPG)

On, Reesa
This scientist had been an associate of Jenna Zan Arbor's, and was invited to the party she held at Didi Oddo's café. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Astri Oddo discovered that the name Reesa On was actually an alias used by the bounty hunter Ona Nobis. The words "reesa on" were from Nobis' Sorrusian language, and literally meant "catch me." Obi-Wan surmised that Nobis used the name to egg on any of her pursuers. (EVE)

Onachra
see Onacra (SWDB)

Onaconda
Meaning "considerate" - or, more literally, "living others' lives" - this was one of the most common names among Rodian males. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)

Onacra
This small farming community was founded by the Separatists during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was located on the planet Aduba-3, near the ancient laboratory of the Dark Jedi Seviss Vaa. Onacra was briefly controlled by Serji-X Arrogantus and the Cloud Riders during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin, until Han Solo and Chewbacca helped bring down Arrogantus' band. Note that the Star Wars Databank indicates that the name of this city was Onachra. (GMR4, SWDB)

Onacran
This was the term used to describe the human inhabitants of the city of Onacra, on the planet Aduba-3. (SWMW)

Onadax
This planet was located in the Minos Cluster. It was a dry world whose surface seemed to be covered with soot, and which lacked any profitable metals. It was also an ancient, backwater world, and warranted very little attention from the rest of the galaxy. This made it an excellent location for those beings who wanted to live without an overbearing government. It was said that the natives of Onadax had fifty different words for dust. Astroarchaeologists believed that Onadax itself had been formed by an agglomeration of asteroids, and the planet's rampant population of mynocks seemed to bear this out. (FH2, FH3, SWI75)

Onahk
This reddish-gray-colored creature was native to the temperate marshes of Osirrag, where they live in nomadic herds. Onahk preyed upon the aquatic birds and reptiles of the planet, picking them from the surface of the water. Onahks measure a meter in length and over two meters in height, with much of their height attributed to their long necks. They move about on six thin legs, and have a group of sensory stalks on the front and rear of their bodies. The longer, front stalks were for taste while the rear stalks were for smell. They had two air sacs located inside their bodies to give them natural bouyancy. At the end of their necks was a sophisticated set of eyes, while their mouths were located under their bodies. They were equally at home in the water and on land, but must breathe air in order to survive. The neck of the onahk was unusual in that it can be extended or contracted by regulating the bloodflow in its flesh. More blood in the vessels of the neck extends the neck, while a reduction in blood caused it to contract. (COG)

Onasi, Carth
A native of the planet Telos, this man was a hot-shot pilot who served the Old Republic nearly 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. During the Great Sith War, Onasi helped transport Jedi Knights into battle aboard the Reciprocity, which earned him the notice of then-Captain Saul Karath. At thirty-eight years old, he was a grizzled veteran who fought against the Mandalorians and was hailed as a hero of the battle. For his heorism during that battles of The Onslaught, Onasi was promoted to Lieutenant. During the fighting, Onasi rarely got to see his wife, Morgana, and his son, Dustil.

Carth was part of the Republic team that was assembled by Captain Karath to travel to Omonoth, where Lord Arkoh Adasca planned to sell his captive exogorths to the highest bidder. After witnessing the raw power of the creatures, Onasi realized that such power could never be controlled, and would only become an unstoppable weapons in the wrong hands. He excused himself from the negotiations and set out to find Zayne Carrick, and returned the young man's lightsaber to him. He agreed to work with Zayne and Lucien Draay to disrupt the negotiations and set the exogorths free before they could be transported to another system. Onasi tried to pick a fight with a Mandalorian soldier, who was actually Zayne in disguise. This allowed Zayne to get near Jarael and draw his lightsaber, eliminating the droids that were guarding her and throwing the gathering into chaos. In the chaos that ensued, Onasi gave Zayne the chance to escape, so that he could help Jarael get free. Although Carth remained loyal to the Galactic Republic, he knew in his heart that Zayne was not a killer. Thus, although he was placed in command of Lance Squadron and ordered to prevent the Moomo Williwaw from reaching Coruscant, Onasi found himself between a rock and a hard place when Zayne turned out to be a passenger on the ship. Zayne launched the Deadweight from the Moomo Williwaw's hold, when the Moomo Brothers' ship was about to be captured, and Carth ordered his wingmates to allow the smaller ship to land, stating that they had carried out their primary mission.

In the wake of the battle against the Mandalorians, in which Onasi witnessed the treachery of the Sith, he suffered from personal tragedy and betrayal that left him with a deep hatred of the Sith. His wife was killed, and his son was lost on Telos when Darth Malak destroyed much of the planet's surface. Shortly afterward, Carth's former mentor, Saul Karath, was seduced by the Sith and turned against the Republic. Carth continued to fight alongside the Jedi Knights in their struggle against Darth Malak, but his motivation came from a desire to avenge his loss, rather than his loyalty to the Old Republic. After the Endar Spire was shot down over Taris, Onasi struggled to keep the survivors alive long enough to locate Bastila Shan.

After returning to the Republic, Carth agreed to help locate the Star Forge, a mission that allowed him to carry out one act of revenge. Aboard the Leviathan, Carth slew Karath before escaping the ship. (SWI67, KOTOR, SWDB, KOR4, KOR5, KORH, KOR6, KOR9)

Onasi, Dustil
This young man was Carth Onasi's only son. During the Great Sith War, Dustil was separated from his mother, Morgana, when Darth Malak ravaged the planet Telos. Dustil managed to go into hiding, but was eventually captured and taken to Korriban with a woman known only as Selene. While on Korriban, Dustil was told that Selene had died in the valley, but she had actually been executed by the Sith. Then, Dustil was placed under the tutelage of Master Uthar Wynn, who felt that the youth had the potential to become a great Dark Jedi. Dustil was eventually reunited with his father. (SWDB, KOTOR, KORH)

Onasi, Morgana
This woman was married to Carth Onasi, during the years following the Great Sith War. The couple had a young son named Dustil. When the Sith attacked Telos, Morgana became separated from Dustil, and was not seen again. (KORH)

Onasi Blaster
This ancient weapon was believed to have been produced during the years following the Great Sith War and the Great Hunt, to the specifications of Carth Onasi. It disappeared sometime after the Mandalorian Wars, although it appeared several times in the wake of the Jedi Civil War, although not in the possession of Carth Onasi. According to weapons experts, the Onasi Blaster was inscribed with the Onasi family crest. (KOTOR2)

Onassi
This military man was one of the many Alliance supporters who lived on the planet Ord Vaug during the height of the Galactic Civil War. When the inhabitants of the planet Vandelhelm wanted to ensure the safety of the Venerated Ones, Lilli and Endro, General Onassi agreed to help keep the children safe by transporting them to Ord Vaug. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, General Onassi agreed to turn the children over to Han Solo, so that he could return them to Vandelhelm. (PH)

Onderon
This planet, located just over four days' travel from Ruusan, was the primary planet in the Japrael system of three planets. It had a temperate climate, and was home to a primitive race of humanoids. It had four moons. The primary moon, Dxun, orbitted very close to the planet millenia ago, and the various Dxun beasts jumped to the planet. The Onderonians struggled against the beasts, eventually gathering new technologies and building a huge walled city to protect themselves from the beasts. The Onderonians then threw their criminal out into the wilderness without any protection from the beasts. The outcasts soon learned to defend themselves, and a second civilization grew out of the outcasts. They two groups remained at war with each other for many years, and the Old Republic asked the Jedi to watch over the world. When Master Arca took over its watch and assigned Ulic Qel-Droma to the planet, the war was ended when the Onderonian princess Galia married the Beastprince. Onderon was also the planet on which Freedon Nadd tried to set up his Sith Kingdom. Like many other fringe worlds, the Onderonians have a distrust of aliens. (FNU, DLS, TOJC, DBRT)

Onderonian
This was the version of the Galactic Standard language spoken by the natives of the planet Onderon, during the era of the Sith War which occurred when Satal and Aleema Keto took control of the planet. (DSSB)

One
This term from the Bocce langauge translated into Basic as "on". (GPB)

One
This was the Basic translation of the Yapi word for an intelligent species. The Yapi considered the Imperial officers who came to Kathol with Moff Kentor Sarne to be the "Grey Ones" because of the color of their uniforms. Stormtroopers were considered "White Ones," while the crew of the FarStar and the New Republic were considered "New Ones." (E)

One Below
This was a term used by many to describe the Jedi Master Yaddle, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It stemmed from her 200-year imprisonment at the hands of the Advozse warlord Tulak, on the planet Koba. The name was first given to her by the Kobans, who also coined the phrase, The One Below stays below. (JQ6)

One Scourge
This was the designation of the first unit of Yuuzhan Vong warriors aboard the Baanu Rass, assigned by Nom Anor to capture - alive, at all costs - the Jedi Knights who had infiltrated the worldship in an effort to destroy the voxyn queen. The entire company of One Scourge was eliminated by the Jedi, much to the chagrin of Warmaster Tsavong Lah. (SBS)

One Shot
This was a false identity maintained by Sythluss Leethe for his YT-1300 freighter, The Maker. (SWJ13)

One Sith
This was the term used by a small group of Sith adherents on Korriban, formed during the years leading up to the galaxy's war against the Yuuzhan Vong, to describe the new ideal of the Sith. Rather than adopting the Rule of Two, these new Sith believed that strength could only come from a unified body of Sith warriors who were working toward the same goals. In this way, the Sith gained strength from each other, forming a single power that would eventually challenge the new Jedi Order being formed by Luke Skywalker. The leader of these Sith was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong and held prisoner, and met the former Jedi Vergere while in captivity. Vergere liked the idea of the One Sith, but feared that the leader's timeline was too long, and would allow Skywalker to grow the new Jedi into a powerful organization. Thus, when she escaped from the Yuuzhan Vong, Vergere contacted Lumiya and set out to turn Jacen Solo into the next Dark Lord of the Sith. She hoped that he would be powerful enough to confront Skywalker and prevent him from gaining more power, allowing the One Sith to rise to power. Jacen eventually assumed the title of Darth Cadeus, and set about trying to unite the galaxy under his rule. Unfortunately, Jacen was unable to restore the Sith to power in the galaxy, as he was killed in combat with his sister, Jaina. The Sith meditation sphere known as Ship was unearthed during this time by Ben Skywalker, and was dismayed to watch as the One Sith ultimately failed. It then set out to locate other, stronger bands of Sith that might be able to restore the Sith to prominence in the galaxy. (LF6, FJ2)

One Thousand, One Hundred and Thirty-Eight Wonders of the Ancient Galaxy
This guide book was written by Ualp Xathan, and published by TriPlanetary Press, during the era of the New Order. It contained information on some of the galaxy's most interesting and unusual archaeological locations. (OWS)

One Too Many
This independently-owned starship was commanded by Shandy Fanaso, during the height of the New Order. Based out of Corellia, Captain Fanaso and the crew of the One Too Many made regular runs near The Maw. Most of her crew were also Corellian by birth. (OWS)

One Truth
According to the Sorcerers of Rhand, there was only One Truth in the universe. This One Truth, also known as the Way of the Dark, was expressed by the following mantra: "Only power is real, and the only real power is the power to destroy. Existence in fleeting. Destruction is eternal." In pratical terms, the One Truth held that all children were born to simply wait for their deaths. Everything around them, from stars and planet to civilizations and societies, would fall away and be forgotten by time. Only destruction, sometime referred to as entropy, remained permanent, and served as the expression of the will of the universe. Destruction was not subject to any law, nor could it be understood by science. Destruction also revealed the foundation of the One Truth. When a being was destroyed, it was as if everything that being had been connected to was murdered. This murder represented a permanent change in the universe, leaving behind a void where the being once was. Ultimately, everything that existed would leave behind such a void, no matter what was done to try and stop it. This basis for truth transcended the notions of the Light Side and the Dark Side of the Force, it simply was the reality of the universe. (LSSM)

One Who Creates, The
see Maker, The (E4, OWS)

One, The
According to the legends ascribed to Lord Aragh of the Highland Clans of the planet Skye, The One was the being who would eventually free the S'kytri race from Imperial domination. The prophesy was fulfilled when Luke Skywalker arrived on Skye and helped to restore the Supreme Council to power. The true identity of The One was a secret that the S'kytri guarded for many years. (GMR1)

One, The
This being was a member of a strange race of aliens which had existed for eons in the depths of space. They were descended from a race of organic machines, who were built by an extinct race whose sun went supernova. The machines survived, and continued to grow. While their creators had no urge to explore space, The One and his race began travelling across the galaxy. Being somewhat conservative, though, they shied away from any contact with other lifeforms. They were huge, rounded versions of the droid known as Vuffi Raa, appearing as fifty-kilometer-wide, polished-silver starships that were ovoid in shape. As they evolved, these unusual creatures built other organic ships in which to transport their knowledge. However, in the ages since the destruction of their creators, The One's race had grown stagnant, and they longed for excitement and risks. After foreseeing that his race might die out because of racial stagnation, the One decided to take matters into his own hands, and created Vuffi Raa as a reconnaissance machine. He hoped that Vuffi Raa would make contact with many various lifeforms in the galaxy and report back to The Rest with his findings. He planted Vuffi Raa in a starship cargo hold, and activated him prematurely, setting of the chain of events that eventually led to the Imperial blockade of the ThonBoka. The One, The Other, and The Rest rushed to the ThonBoka, only to find that the Oswaft and Lando Calrissian had matters pretty much under control. The One and his counterparts intervened when the Imperials were about to turn the tide of the battle. (LCS)

One, The
This Rakatan individual opposed the leadership of the Elders, during the height of the Great Sith War. Many of his followers were captured and imprisoned for speaking out against the Elders. (KOTOR)

One, The
This was one of the many terms used to describe the new Sith order that evolved on the planet Korriban, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. Despite the connotations of this singular name, the One referred to the collection of Sith who were united under a common goal, to restore the Sith to power in the galaxy by working together. (FJ1)

Onece 1
This freighter was part of a small group of vessels that was passing through the Javin Sector, near the station D-34, during the hours and days that followed the Battle of Hoth. Like most of the other ships in the Onece group, the Onece 1 was carrying foodstuffs and other supplies, and the Imperial forces at D-34 allowed it move along. (TIEP)

Onece 2
This freighter was part of a small group of vessels that was passing through the Javin Sector, near the station D-34, during the hours and days that followed the Battle of Hoth. Like most of the other ships in the Onece group, the Onece 2 was carrying foodstuffs and other supplies, and the Imperial forces at D-34 allowed it move along. (TIEP)

Onece 3
This freighter was part of a small group of vessels that was passing through the Javin Sector, near the station D-34, during the hours and days that followed the Battle of Hoth. While the rest of the Onece group was carrying foodstuffs and other supplies, the Onece 3 was carrying Alliance personnel who were trying to escape from Hoth. Imperial starships singled out the Onece 3 and captured it, taking the Alliance's personnel as prisoners. (TIE, TIEP)

Onees, Leek
This male Gran was a noted smuggler who worked for Sebolto during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. A bounty was issued for his capture by the Coruscant police force, in connection with the rise in the number of death sticks inported to Coruscant during the years following the Battle of Naboo. The bounty was claimed by Jango Fett, when the bounty hunter traveled to Malastare to meet with Sebolto. (BH)

One-Eye
This was the nickname of New Republic Lieutenant Gulley's wingmate. (TT)

Onel
This was one of the many Bothan clans. Membership in the clan was denoted by the suffix 'nel added to an individual's family name. (GCG, WOTC)

Oneness, The
This false religion was set up by the Hutts and the t'landa Til as a legitimate front for a spice processing facility. The religion centered on Exultations, which were simply sonic vibrations created by the t'landa Til. Using throat pouches, the creatures can emit vibrations that affect the sensory centers of the brain. The pilgrims which flee society to join the religion speak of intense pleasure and a sense of calm from the Exultations. The pilgrims eventually find that they can't live without the sensory experience, and attend daily devotions regularly. The t'landa Til then use the pilgrims as slaves, telling them that the work they perform serves the Oneness. In reality, the pilgrims were simply processing raw spice - andris, carsunum, ryll, and glitterstim - for sale by the Hutts. The incredible pureness and processing capability of the pseudo-religion, which operated on the planet Ylesia, made it more than a match for the facilities on Kessel or Ryloth. (TPS)

Ones Who Dwell Beyond the Veil, The
This was another term for Those Who Dwell Beyond the Veil, a reference to an unknown race of beings that was used by the Aing-Tii monks. (EGF)

OneTail

Ongella
The Alliance captured a small freighter on this planet, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, and used it at Eyrie Base. (SWJ10)

Ongree
Native to the planets of the Skustell Cluster, this unusual, alien race was roughly humanoid in stature. They were distinguished by their unusual cranial structure, which came to a rounded point at the top of their skull. The eye sockets of an Ongree were tubelike in shape, originating near the base of the skull and curving forward and down to their chins. The mouth of an Ongree was located between and above their eyes, giving the average Ongree the appearance of having its head attached upside down. Each of their hands ended with two thick fingers and an opposable thumb. The average Ongree stood just over a meter in height, but walked with a lanky gait. The Ongree were known for their ability to view any situation from a variety of angles, and often spent a great deal of time weighing all the possible perspectives before making a decision. (SWDB, E2, NEGA)

Ongun-nur
This large avian was native to the planet Ansion. These creatures had large, balloon-like wings that gave the ongun-nur a comical appearance, although their sharp eyes and sword-like beaks seemed to indicate their ability to hunt. Because of the incredibly light bodyweight and paper-thin skin, ongun-nurs simply rode the near-constant winds of Ansion in search of prey. Ongun-nur most often obtained food by moving in large flocks, with the forward individuals cutting through grass with their beaks, allowing those behind to open their mouths and feed. A regular rotation of individuals allowed each member of the flock a chance to feed. (APS)

Oni
This alien race was native to the planet Uru. As a people, the Oni were considered to be militant toward other races, and most Oni encountered away from their homeworld were employed as mercenaries and hired guns. The females of the Oni race were known to be electrophoretic, and stored static electricity in a unique capacitor gland. (MJH)

Onih k'leth mof'qey
This Yuuzhan Vong phrase was used as a welcome to another individual, and meant something like "You look much better." (FP)

Onimi
This badly deformed Yuuzhan Vong was, at one time, a Shaper of some skill. However, the implants given to his upon escalation were rejected by his body, and Onimi was relegated to the ranks of the Shamed Ones. For unknown reasons, Supreme Overlord Shimrra chose Onimi to serve as his personal jester and familiar. Onimi had the normal appearance of a Yuuzhan Vong, but with severe deformities. One eye lolled on his face, lower than the other, and his entire skull seemed to be oddly distended. His thin limbs twitched constantly, giving Onimi an excited, nervous demeanor. His lopsided mouth was filled with a single, long fang. He constantly spoke in rhymes and riddles, dispensing wisdom that was shrouded in dark humor. Onimi posed as the Master Shaper Kae Kwaad in order to investigate Nen Yim and bring her before Shimrra, shortly after the Battle of Duro. When the battle against the New Republic began to turn against the Yuuzhan Vong, Shimrra demanded that Nen Yim fill the so-called eighth cortex with knowledge of the lifeforms in the galaxy. He used Onimi as his liaison to the Shapers, in an effort to avoid a direct linkage to their work. Onimi, however, seemed to have his own agenda, and always seemed to be able to read the mind of Nom Anor. After the living planet Zonama Sekot suddenly reappeared near Coruscant, Onimi suddenly became quiet, often refusing to recite his ascerbic poetry, and cowered behind Shimrra's growing power. When the Jedi Knights, led by Luke Skywalker, managed to infiltrate the Citadel and reach the Moonbeam Throne, Onimi remained by Shimrra's side until the World Brain began to work with Jacen Solo to disrupt the battle. Onimi leapt from his seat on on the throne and fled upward into the Citadel. Jaina Solo gave chase, but Onimi was able to double back and capture her, drugging her with poison that he exuded from his fang and dragging her into the command chamber of the Citadel's escape craft. It was during this time that Onimi revealed that he believed Jaina was actually Yun-Harla, and that he believed himself to have been the first individual to realize the eighth cortex was an empty lie. He continued to rail at Jaina, explaining that he had grafted yammosk cells to his own neural pathways to try and enhance himself and save the Yuuzhan Vong. Instead, Onimi screamed, Yun-Harla had Shamed him while giving him the ability to manipulate others through the cells inside his body. This allowed Onimi to gain a measure of control over Shimrra, coercing him to usurp the power of Quoreal and begin the invasion of the New Republic. He then admitted that he - of all the Yuuzhan Vong - could see her through the Force, along with the rest of the Jedi Knights, then told Jaina of his plans to kill the Jedi and assume control of the galaxy for himself. Then, Onimi started to launch the escape craft, using his own genetic codes to fire its engines. As Jacen finally reached the escape craft and gained access to the command deck, he realized the truth about Onimi. It was his Shaping that had allowed him to see through the Force, restoring the ability that had been stripped from the Yuuzhan Vong eons ago. By this time, Onimi had come to consider himself the Supreme Overlord, if not by Shimrra's death then by his own belief in the power he held. Onimi tried to hold off Jacen by flinging all manner of things at him, but Jacen had tapped into the Unifying Force in a way that was deeper than before. Onimi attacked as a Shaper, using his enhanced abilities to turn every bodily fluid he possessed into poisons or hallucinogens which could be injected with his fang or simply applied to Jacen's skin. Jacen used his own connection to the Force to neutralize them all, rendering them nothing more than sweat and tears. As Jacen became more and more a living conduit for the Force, he was able to attack Onimi on the level of purest energy. Onimi, unable to let go of the hatred and greed he had lived with for so long, was rendered into nothingness by Jacen's actions. As his body reformed itself into an Unshamed form, Onimi collapsed into death. (EVR, Y, DW, UF)

O'Niner
This clone Sergeant was placed in charge of the Galactic Republic listening post that was established on the moon of the planet Rishi, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. When contact was lost with CT-327, Sergeant O'Niner and a group of clone set out to determine what had happened. They were ambushed by a group of commando droids who had reached the planet during a meteor shower, and Sergeant O'Niner was killed during the ensuing firefight. (CWTV05)

Onith, M'iiyoum
A native of H'nemthe, M'iiyoum was a virgin female who was allowed to lkeave her homeworld as part of an experiment. The leaders of H'nemthe were concerned about the reproduction rate of their race, and wanted to see if female H'nemtheans could find a mate in the galaxy at large. To protect her from harm, officials assigned a chaperone to accompany Onith on her travels. However, they were separated on Tatooine when Onith tried to board the Tellivar Lady in Mos Eisley but could not pay her passage tax. She appealed to Feltipern Trevagg, with whom she quickly fell in love. Trevagg was simply looking for a good time, and agreed to accompany her back to the Mos Eisley Inn. There, they consummated their brief relationship. Unfortunately for Trevagg, Onith gutted him as all H'nemthean females do to their mates, disemboweling him with her knife-like tongue. Onith later returned to H'nemthe, where she became something of a celebrity, having tried to mate with a male from another race. Her union with Trevagg was barren, but afforded Onith the ability to continue her travels without a chaperone. (TME, NEGA)

Onoh
This small, yellow-skinned creature was loyal to Jabba the Hutt. The Hutt had placed Onoh in place as the watchman over his escape ship, hidden in the rock of Glass Mountain on Tatooine. Onoh resembled a cross between a reptilian kangaroo and a catfish, and was quite excitable. Onoh threw in his lot with Big Gizz and Spiker, shortly after he was attacked by Gorga the Hutt's henchmen. Onoh did his job well, although annoyingly, constantly reminding Spiker and Big Gizz that Jabba was going to haunt them if they stole anything, including the escape ship Spirit of Jabba. Both of the criminals ignored Onoh, taking him along for the ride. Jabba had entrusted Onoh with the security override codes for the main computer, and Onoh used them when the Spirit of Jabba was attacked by the Nemphas. However, their control of the ship was brief. They were forced to crash-land the ship outside of Mos Eisley in order to escape Gorga the Hutt's minions. Onoh, Spiker and Gizz survived, and made their way back to civilization. (TJT)

The forces of the Old Republic hoped to prevent the Mandalorians from penetrating into Republic-held territory, but were outnumbered by the Mandalorians. Although Vanquo was saved, other Republic ships were forced to retreat and regroup near Taris, where they were further besieged by the Mandalorians. (KOR4, KORH)

OnSon, Skot
This young man, the son of Cestian farmers who lands were located near the Kibo Sands, was among the first to join the reformed Desert Wind terrorist group, during the height of the Clone Wars. This parents had died of the shadow fever about a year beforehand, just before the Five Families cut off the water supply to their farm. Skot joined the group to exact a measure of revenge and to escape the tedium of Ord Cestus, and was one of the first to graduate from the training program devised by Jedi Master Kit Fisto and the ARC troopers led by Nate. When the Desert Wind base was infiltrated by battle droids that had been dispatched by Asaj Ventress, Skot helped Sheeka Tull rescue the badly-injured body of Nate - who had adopted the nickname Jangotat.

Onyx
This Zygerrian male was one of the many starship Captains who worked for the Zygerian Slavers Guild, during the era of the Clone Wars. Captain Onyx was returning to Zygeria when he intercepted a small starship, after the ship's crew claimed to be spice traders with a group of slaves they wanted to sell. After allowing the small ship to dock with his freighter, Captain Onyx discovered that the crew of the ship was not made up of spice traders. Instead, they were actually Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, along with Ahsoka Tano and their group of clone troopers. Onyx refused to surrender, and a firefight broke out, forcing both sides to return to their ships. Ahsoka was trapped on Onyx's ship, and he hoped to use her as a hostage. However, the Jedi were able to infiltrate his ship and confronted Onyx on the bridge. He briefly tried to use Ahsoka as a shield, but he soon realized that he was overmatched, and agreed to negotiate with the Jedi. In exchange for his life, Onyx revealed what he knew about the shipments of Togruta slaves that were coming from the Kiros System. He also explained that the Togruta were to be sold at a grand auction on Zygerria, and the Jedi forced him to turn over his invitation and his ship, the Fate's Hand.

This ancient Twi'leki female inhabited the spaceport moon of Nar Shaddaa. When Han Solo first arrived on the planet, after being discharged from Imperial service, Oodonnaa gave him directions on how to get to the Corellian sector. She also propositioned Han, which embarrassed him to no end. (THG)

Oodra
This ancient woman was the mistress of the Snow King. She was part of the Snow King's plan to steal the Season Scepter used by his siblings to control the weather of the Forest Moon of Endor, in the hopes of using it to obtain the Sunstar from the Ewoks.

Ooglith Cloaker
A variation of the ooglith masquer, the cloaker was also bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong. Instead of tranforming the wearer's appearance, the cloaker simply covered the wearer in a transparent sheath. The cloaker was grown in different forms, which protected the wearer from all forms of environmental assaults, including weather, temperature extremes, pressure, and vacuum. (VP, EVR)

Ooglith Masquer
This unusual creature was bioengineered by the Yuuzhan Vong. Resembling a blob of protoplasm, the ooglith masquer could be draped over the head and torso of a Yuuzhan Vong and become a living mask. The masquer would extend thousands of tiny grappling tendrils into the pores of the Yuuzhan Ving skin, latching the masquer's body directly to that of its "host." Externally, the masquer created the appearance of another species, allowing the Yuuzhan Vong to walk among another species without being detected as wearing a prosthetic device. The ooglith masquer had to be trained to remain in a certain form while attached to the Yuuzhan Vong's face. At the push of a sensitive point on the ooglith masquer's body, the creature retracted its tendrils and peeled away from the Yuuzhan Vong's face, once again becoming a shapeless entity and returning to its contained. (VP)

Oojoh was considered one of the most promising on the Padawans, having single-handedly smashed the Leverby smuggling operation. Oojoh and the other Padawans were invited to a special ceremony by Master Lucien and the other Jedi instructors on Taris, to mark their achievements and ready them for their futures. Unknown to the Padawans, however, was that Lucien and the Masters were planning to murder the Padawans. Before they could react, Oojoh and the others were cut down by their instructors. Only Zayne survived, having arrived late to the ceremony. The media reacted to the story with intense interest, and dubbed the four murdered Padawans as the Taris Four. (KOR1, LPSS)

She was brought to the palace by Bib Fortuna, in an effort to please Jabba. When she landed on Tatooine, she and her companions were intercepted Luke Skywalker, who offered to help them escape their coming slavery. Her companion, Sienn, chose to flee with Luke. Oola couldn't bring herself to scape, and was brought to Jabba. Fortuna fitted her with a leather headdress that contained large metal studs. These studs protruded on the inside of the leather helmet, clogging her ears and causing her undue pain. She was killed by Jabba's rancor after only two days of work, when she refused to submit to Jabba's demands. Jabba opened the trapdoor near his Hutt floater and let her drop into the Rancor's pit.

When accompanied by the poking and prodding of spears, this chant often indicated that a group of Ewoks was thinking about eating whatever they had caught. (GPB)

Oolos, Ism
This Ho-Din physician worked for the New Republic at the medical facility in Bagsho, on the planet Nim Drovis. It was Ism Oolos that treated the victims of the Corbantis crash, rescued from Damonite Yors B by Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, and Chewbacca. According to Planet of Twilight, Ism Oolos was twenty-five meters tall! Oolos later worked with Mara Jade, in an effort to determine what disease was making her ill during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Like most other scientists, Doctor Oolos was unable to find the source of the disease. (POT, HT)

Oolth
This Fondorian was a former member of Black Sun, who agreed to turn in valuable information to the Jedi Knights in return for his safety, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. Oolth, who worked as the personal servant to Alexi Garyn, had been hiding in the Crimson Corridor, trying to avoid the Raptors gang and the thugs of Black Sun itself. The Jedi Council dispatched a padawan, Darsha Assant, to retrieve Oolth, as the final test of her abilities. Despite her readiness, Darsha underestimated the Raptors, and the gang quickly destroyed her skyhopper. She was forced to drag Oolth on a desperate chase through the undercity, in an effort to escape the Corridor and reach the Jedi Temple. However, they were trapped in an access shaft, and Darsha was unable to hold onto the ladder and maintain a grip on Oolth's bulky form. The handhold of clothing Darsha had ripped apart, and Oolth fell several hundred stories to his death. (DM, DMSH)

OOM-9
This Trade Federation battle droid was the Commander of the ground forces sent to control the palace of the city of Theed. The Neimoidians had been controlled by Darth Sidious, and ordered to invade the planet and eliminate any resistance. OOM-9 and its droid troops quickly subjugated the populace of Theed, and eventually captured Queen Amidala and her advisors. During the Battle of Naboo, OOM-9 managed to repel the Gungan Grand Army and began making plans to rout the aliens completely, when Anakin Skywalker managed to destroy the Federation's Droid Control Ship. Without a command signal, OOM-9 was rendered incapable of action, and was among the thousands of battle droids that were dismantled in the wake of the battle. Later, OOM-9's design later became the basis for an entire series of battle droid commanders, in the years following the Battle of Naboo. (E1N, JQ1, GBC)

He commanded the Crusader in that battle, which was led by Captain Alistar Dadefra aboard the Bombard. The Khuiumin Survivors vowed to kill him one day, and got their chance when Oonaar booked passage aboard the Galaxy Chance. The Survivors intercepted the casino ship and captured Oonaar. Upon returning to Courkrus, they executed him for his crimes against the pirates. (IJ)

Oondar
This Ithorian owned and operated a small mercantile shop on Nar Shaddaa, during the years following the Jedi Civil War. He spent much of her spare time trying to undermine the efforts of Geeda, a fellow merchant whom she felt was causing her sales to slip and her customers to go elsewhere. Oondar asked The Exile - who was on Nar Shaddaa to investigate the link between the Exchange and the Sith, and to locate Jedi Master Zez-Kai Ell - to help him resolve the situation with Geeda. However, The Exile decided that Geeda was the merchant who was suffering the most, and he agreed to help her instead. In his anger, Oondar threatened provide a description and other information on The Exile to the Exchange, hoping to scare him away. (KOTOR2)

Ooneeta mabonga
This Huttese exclamation translated roughly into Basic as "I had nothing to do with it!" (CWYN)

Ooorlak
This hulking Wookiee was Cularin's reigning arm-wrestling champion, during the final years of the Old Republic. He was considered something of a pariah, having once broken a Trandoshan's arm in four places during a match. However, Ooorlak was proud of his accomplishments, a trait made all the easier because his extended clanmate was the noted Jedi Master Kirlocca, who often had spoken highly of Ooorlak to his associates.

Oo'rha
This ancient Twi'lek was a member of the Rha clan, which had been locked in a feud with the Lek clan for many generations. Legends say that Oo'rha one day discovered Ko'lek in the warrens of the Rha clan, where he had become lost. Not knowing his true identity, Oo'rha soon fell in love with Ko'lek. To show her the depths of his love, Ko'lek took her to the top of one of the Lonely Five pinnacles. She was breathtaken with the view, but they were caught in a heat storm. Both of them were killed by the searing heat. The tale of their love was been passed down through generations of Twi'leks as a warning about getting lost in a dark tunnel where other Twi'leks feared to tread. (PSPG)

Ooroo
This ancient Celegian Jedi Master taught the venerable Odan-Urr, during the years leading up to the Great Hyperspace War. An oceanic creature native to a world with a dense, cyanogen-rich atmosphere, Ooroo was a brain-like creature encased in a yellow crystal which maintained the cyanogen atmosphere in which he survived. In the wake of the First Unification Wars, Master Ooroo went to Cinnagar to visit with Empress Teta and Odan-Urr, shortly after his student was ridiculed on Coruscant for believing his vision foretold an imminent Sith attack. Ooroo, however, believed that his student was correct in the interpretation of his vision, as were several other Jedi Masters. Ooroo and Odan-Urr led the defense of Kirrek when Naga Sadow finally launched his attack, but they were unable to turn the tide of battle with the Force. Ooroo, seeing that he alone held the key to the battle, told the remaining Jedi to seek shelter and then cracked open his crystal shell. The cyanogen atmosphere was deadly to the Sith forces, which were killed almost immediately. However, Ooroo was unable to survive in an oxygen atmosphere, and expired in Odan-Urr's arms. Like many Jedi Masters, Ooroo's physical form dissipated as his lifeforce became etheral. (FOSE, PJSB, NECH)

This Ithorian left his homeworld of Ithor and tried to make a deal with Imperial Governor Parnell. Oosea wanted money, and thought that Parnell would pay handsomely for the rights to place a garrison on Ithor. However, Oosea was followed to the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt by Ire Eleazari, who monitored Oosea's negotiations and made every effort to make sure they fell through. Oosea demanded that Parnell eliminate Ire Eleazari, claiming that the only way the garrison could be constructed was if the "traitorous" Eleazari was destroyed. Oosea's plans were dashed when the Alliance took control of the Sil'Lume Belt and ousted Parnell from power. (JH)

Oosk
This Trandoshan lived on the planet Cularin, during the last decades of the Old Republic. He spent much of his free time wrestling with the Wookiee Varoca, using their arms and fists instead of energy weapons. (EOS1)

Oo-Ta Goo-Ta
This modified Corellian YT-1300 freighter was the primary pirate ship of the Rodian Chordak.

Oovo IV
This was the fourth moon of the planet Oovo, and was the site of a desolate penal colony used by the Galactic Correctional Authority during the last decades of the Old Republic. Prisoners who were incarcerated at the Oovo IV facility were often forced to labor in the zenium mines that riddled the planet. Much of the colony was protected by an energy dome, but the dome was maintained at minimal power levels. This meant that stray meteorites sometimes penetrated the dome and struck the surface. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the facility on Oovo IV was leveled as the aliens penetrated the galaxy. All records from the prison were lost in the destruction. (RAC, LF3, CN2)

Oowor
This was one of the most common male names used by members of the Ithorian race. Although most Ithorian names were not used for a specific meaning, historians found that this name referred to an archaic stun weapon once used by Ithorian hunters. (GCG)

Opatajji-Hirken, Neera
This spoiled, willful daughter of the Duke of Opatajji flirted with Mirkovig Hirken to draw his attention away from her more attractive sisters. Neera was stout and short, and often dressed in fine clothes to try and accentuate her lacking beauty. She felt a deep hatred for her sisters, and tried to thwart them at every opportunity. However, her actions were noticed by her father, and she soon found herself promised to Hirken. Her superficial nature was further heightened by the revelation that she had found a husband before her sisters. After they were married, Neera found herself left out of Hirken's administrative life, and became lonely and unhappy. When Hirken was assigned to Mytus VII, Neera thought she would die of boredom. When Han Solo infiltrated Mutus VII, Neera and Hirken was in the main tower of Stars' End when it exploded and shot into space. Hirken abandoned her to the Stars' End tower while pleading with Han Solo to help him get off the doomed structure, and Neera shot him in the back.

Opee Fleer
This was an exceptionally fast Gungan bongo, a decommissioned military vehicle that had been rebuilt to participate in the Otoh Gunga Challenge. Many racers considered the Opee Fleer too cumbersome, but what it lacked in maneuverability it made up for in size. Its wide, tribubble body made it difficult for other racers to pass the bongo. (GMR4)

Opee Sea Killer
This huge, aquatic beast was found in the oceans of the planet Naboo. It resembles a thick-bodied fish, although it had eight insectile legs and was generally crustacean in appearance. Its mouth was filled with pointed teeth, and its eyes glow a fierce orange-red in the depths of the sea. The opee sea killer catches its prey with its long, flexible tongue, which could measure more than twice its body length and was covered with sticky mucus. At birth, an opee sea killer measured just two meters in length. Young opees were hatched from eggs which were protected within the mouth of their father until their hatch. Even after hatching the young can find refuge in their father's mouth. However, newly-hatched opees were capabale of hunting for themselves. By adulthood, the average opee sea killer measured 20 meters in length, although there were a pair of dwarf opees kept at the Otoh Gunga Zoological Research Facility before the Battle of Naboo. Despite their size, they were no less dangerous than their full-sized cousins. (E1N, IG1, E1A9, SON, WSW)

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

Open Circle Armada
This was the Old Republic naval task force that was commanded by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, during the height of the Clone Wars. At its height, the Open Circle Armada had five separate fleets, each capable of independent actions against the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The symbol of the Open Circle Armada was a simple circle formed by two semi-circle arcs, although each arc was separate from the other, resulting in the open-circle image. Each arc represented one of the Jedi Knights, and the entire symbol signified that Kenobi and Skywalker were the two halves of a single entity. As the fighting of the Clone Wars spread, units of the Open Circle Armada were split off and sent to other parts of the galaxy, where their specific talents or firepower were needed. Over time, a larger portion of the Old Republic's Navy adopted the Open Circle symbol as a symbol of the Republic itself. It was even discovered on war materiel that had been captured by Separatist forces and used on far-flung planets such as Mustafar. (X3, SWI85)

Open Circle Fleet
This was another name for the Open Circle Armada. (MF)

Operation 45RA
This was the codename of the plan devised by the Farool brothers to capture Crying Dawn Singer and discredit the Alliance in the eyes of the Shashay. The operation was initiated some time after the Battle of Yavin, and involved not only the capture of Crying Dawn Singer but a series of transmissions which showed Yearo Seville posing as the leader of the Alliance in Rayter Sector. The Farools hoped that it would impress Moff Nile Owen, and gain them both promotions. A separate part of the operation involved the Farools also discrediting Moff Owen, with a transmission which showed Owen's lack of compassion in the matter. This plan would remove Owen from power and place the Farools in his place. The operation was thwarted by Alliance agents in Rayter Sector who managed to infiltrate the plan and recover Crying Dawn Singer before the Farools could gain power. (TA)

Operation Blue Plug
This was the codename of the fledgling New Republic's plan for invading the planet Commenor and wresting it from Imperial control. Devised some ten years after the Battle of Yavin by Garm Bel Iblis, Operation Blue Plug was never implements - nor were its details made public - because the Commenorians voluntarily evicted their Imperial oppressors and joined the New Republic. The documentation for Operation Blue Plug was sealed in top-secret computer files and sent into deep storage, where it remained hidden and unnoticed for nearly thirty years.

With the discovery of the so-called Chasin Document, which was essentially a modernized version of the original plans, the leaders of the Galactic Alliance was forced to accept the fact that there was an internal security breach. According to research done by Tycho and Winter Celchu, at some during the Corellia-GA War, someone had inserted secret code into the GA's computer systems. This code made regular backups of classified documents and sent them to a remote location. Making matters worse, the original code was inserted into the computer system using a password that was known only to members of the Galactic Alliance Guard. (LF4)

Operation Bodybag
This was a method of smuggling people past Imperial patrols, often used on the planet Tatooine during the height of the Galactic Civil War and into the early years of the New Republic. A legitimate individual, often a moisture farmer, would disguise their vehicle as a salvage vehicle. Using chemicals and garbage, they would create noxious fumes in the cargo hold, where they had hidden the people they were trying to smuggle under tarps. If an Imperial patrol stopped them, the farmers would claim that they had found salvage in the desert, and that there had been some dead bodies as well. If the Imperials chose to inspect the cargo hold, they would be assaulted by the smell and see the evidence of "dead" bodies. More often than not, the smell kept the Imperials from further inspections, allowing the farmer to coming on their way. (TG)

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)

Operation Case White
This was the codename given to the Separatist plans to take control of the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. As part of Operation Case White, Admiral Pors Tonith blockaded Praesitlyn with some 200 warships before landing some 50,000 battle droids as a first attack. He held a million or more battle droids in reserve, hoping to draw out any resistance from the Old Republic before utterly crushing it. As a contingency plan, Tonith had stationed 126 more warships at Sluis Van to drive off any reinforcements the Republic might send to Praesitlyn. Although the initial stages of the operation went off as planned, Tonith was unprepared for the sudden appearance of Zozridor Slayke and his rogue soldiers. Although Slayke's forces were vastly outmanned, they caused damage to Tonith's forces and held them off long enough for a Republic task force - led by Nejaa Halcyon and Anakin Skywalker - to arrive at Praesitlyn. Even then, Tonith's superior firepower was only defeated by a bold plan hatched by Skywalker, that managed to capture Tonith and put an end to the Separatists' plans. (JT)

Operation Cracked Crystal
This was one of the few missions dispatched to explore the interior of the planet Tilnes. Launched by the Restimar Mining Corporation during the height of the Clone Wars, Operation Cracked Crystal was officially designated as survey team 1044, although no official record of its mission was ever discovered. A holographic recording from the planet Tilnes eventually revealed that the team was trying to acquire certain crystals from beneath the planet's surface, but was intercepted by the rogue "tour guide" droid C4KO. Before the operation could even near completion, the droid injured or killed most the survey team, and only a deluge of rocks and debris finally stopped the droid's rampage. Before the survey team could reach Restimar and request further assistance, however, their equipment failed, and contact was lost. Their fate remained a mystery, as Restimar denied ever sending such an operation to Tilnes, despite the recorded evidence. (LFCW)

Operation Durge's Lance
This was the codename of the Separatist attack that planned to take control of the Corellian Trade Spine during the height of the Clone Wars. After capturing Yag'Dhul and Thyferra, the Confederacy of Independent Systems tried to wrest control of the Duro System from the Old Republic. If Duro could be captured, only Corellia would remain part of the Old Republic. Corellia's capture would give the Separatists control of the entire trade route. The operation launched a massive attack on the Republic warships stationed at Duro, eliminating the Acclamator-class assault ships Anvil, Coronet, and Bolide, as well as the Dreadnaughts Prominence and Atrisian Iron. (SWI74)

Operation Emperor's Hammer
This was the true mission behind the New Republic's retaking of the planet Borleias, in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. Using a series of false leads and tantalizing information, the Inner Circle led the Yuuzhan Vong to believe that lambent crystals were being grown on Borleias for use as focusing crystals in the pipefighters of the so-called Operation Starlancer. This forced the Yuuzhan Vong to commit to a full-scale invasion of Borleias, in an effort destroy the facility. However, there was no such facility. It was all a ruse. When the Yuuzhan Vong forces descended on Borleias, they were allowed to reach the planet's surface. Once the aliens were on the ground, Eldo Davip and the Lusankya bombarded them from orbit, utterly destroying the alien forces with a four-minute aerial bombardment. In this way, the Inner Circle used Imperial bombardment tactics to eliminate a sizable portion of the Yuuzhan Vong military. (EL1)

Operation Emperor's Spear
This was the name used to describe the plan, hatched by Wedge Antilles and Eldo Davip, to use the Lusankya as an immense ramming device against the Yuuzhan Vong which were blockading Borleias. In the wake of the Battle of Coruscant, Wedge had been ordered to hold Borleias long enough for Chief of State Pwoe and the remainder of the New Republic Advisory Council to flee into space. The Lusankya was allowed to take damage in the fighting over Borleias, but never anything too bad. Nevertheless, weapons emplacements were continually being removed from the ship for "repair." In reality, they were being refitting onto smaller ships, giving them more firepower against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Lusankya, in the meantime, was being refitted from the inside out, with a huge Beltway being carved into its heart. This reinforced shaft became a huge, needle-like ram, that would be used to destroy the Yuuzhan Vong worldship. During the last stand at Borleais, Commander Eldo Davip took the Lusankya into battle, but only to deflect large portions of fire from the smaller ships. This caused huge amounts of damage to the Star Destroyer, which served to bolster the Yuuzhan Vong's confidence. Then, when much of the battle had been fought, Commander Davip used all remaining engine power to ram the Lusankya into the Yuuzhan Vong worldship, destroying both ships and eliminating the Yuuzhan Vong threat. (EL2)

Operation False Horizon
Devised by Osten Dal'Nay and Broof Yurdel, this was the codename for a series of surprise assaults launched by the Cularin Militia just before the onset of the Clone Wars. Many believed that the Cularin Militia had been disbanded, especially after the build-up of Thaereian Military forces in the Cularin System. However, this was the appearance the Dal'Nay and Yurdel wished the system to see, and they went to work in the background, meticulously planning the operation. When it was launched, the Cularin Militia was activated with coded transmissions, and within hours they ahd secured or overrun many Thaereian military bases throughout the system. This operation was carried out with the full support of the Jedi Knights on Almas, who suddenly found their communications to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant were blocked by Thaereian forces. While the ground battles proved to be swift victories for the Cularin Militia, their naval forces were initially outnumbered three-to-one by Thaereian warships. The space battle turned when unknown forces - bearing an isignia that showed an image of Cularin superimposed with the letter "N" - arrived in the Cularin System and decimated that Thaereian forces. (LFCW)

Operation Flotsam
This New Republic operation was funded by the Historical Battle Site Preservation Act, and was set up to recover the debris from space battles before it could end up on the private market. It collected Imperial and Alliance artifacts for display in the Alliance War Museum on Coruscant. (BTS)

Operation Glorious Destinty
This was the Hiromi term used to describe their plans to subjugate the planet Zeltros, shortly after the Battle of Endor. The operation got off to a bad start when Hirog failed to distract the Alliance at Endor, then took another turn for the wosre when Hirog inadvertently locked himself in a storage room on Zeltros. The only thing the Hiromi managed to gain full control of was the kitchen in the royal palace of King Arno and Queen Leonie of the Zeltrons, before the operation fell completely apart. When the Nagai and Tofs also arrived on Zeltros, the Hiromi gave up any hopes of success and allied themselves with the Alliance to defeat the other invaders. In the end, the Hiromi decided that they could better serve the Alliance better from a safer, hidden planet. (PH)

Operation Groundquake
Named by Tyria Sarkin, this Wraith Squadron mission involved knocking out the Imperial bases located in the cities of Fellon and Hullis, on the planet Halmad, during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. (IF)

Operation Hammerblow
This New Republic Naval operation was first implemented by the Fifth Battle Group, some twelve years after the Battle of Endor. Tested in a simulation at Bessimir, the operation involved the use of K-Wing bombers to knock out a planet's defensive shielding, thus allowing larger ships to knock out weapons emplacements in preparation for landing. It was heavily opposed in some circles of the New Republic Senate, for it was a heavy-handed use of military power by a government supposedly opposed to the subjugation of planets. Admiral Ackbar and the supporters of the operation cited many planets under Imperial control that would require the use of such tactics. (BTS)

Operation Insignificant
This was the codename of General Trep Reskan's plans to unseat the Empire from its control of Brak Sector. (FBS)

Operation Joystick
This was the codename for the New Republic's plan to bring the planet Adumar - along with its military resources - into the Republic's membership. The basic plan involved two stages. The first was the infiltration of the planet's society, to determine how best to approach the Adumari. It was decided, based on the military background of the Adumari, that the second stage would involved sending starfighter pilots as the primary diplomats to Adumar. (PH)

Operation Katabatic
This was the name given to the Old Republic's attempt to liberate the planet Atraken from the control of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Old Republic military claimed that Operation Katabatic was a tactical success, although it was forced to acknowledge that the biochemical weapons unleashed by the Separatists killed off nearly ninety percent of the population of Atraken. (SWI67, NECH)

Operation Minefield
see Project Minefield (NEGA)

Operation Noble Savage
This was the name used by Thrackan Sal-Solo and Admiral Vara Karathas to describe their plans to remove the Galactic Alliance's base on Tralus, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Galactic Alliance, in an effort to forestall Sal-Solo's bid for Corellian independence, established a base in Rellidir as part of Operation Roundabout. This gave the GA a stronghold in the Corellian System, essentially blockading Sal-Solo from any further action. Karathas developed Operation Noble Savage to utterly eliminate the presence of the Galactic Alliance on Tralus, without regard for civilian casualties or collateral damage. Sal-Solo, however, planned to use what propaganda he could to ensure that any civilian deaths were laid at the feet of the Galactic Alliance, as part of a wider-reaching plan to discredit the GA and gain popular support for Corellian independence. (LF1)

Operation Peacemaker
This Imperial directive was used to subjugate planetary systems in which two or more indigenous races were at war with each other. The basic outline of Operation Peacemaker was to artifically escalate the tension between the races, to the point that all-out war was inevitable. The Empire can then invade the system with the outward goal of initiating peace between the warring peoples. The ultimate goal of this plan was the subjugation of all the warring parties under Imperial control. (SWJ9)

Operation Piranha Beetle
This was the term used by General Wedge Antilles to decribe the final evacuate effort at the Borleias base, in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. (EL2)

Operation Ram's Head
This Alliance operation took place shortly after the Battle of Yavin, and resulted in the destruction of four Imperial-class Star Destroyers that were sitting in dry docks. (EGP, NECH)

Operation Rebel Hunt
This Imperial military action was created to cleanse the planet Yetnis of rebellious cells, during the Galactic Civil War. (HAS)

Operation Restbreak
This was the name given to the New Republic's plans for defending the Bilbringi Shipyards, in case they were attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong. Operation Restbreak was forced into use when Nom Anor arrived at Bilbringi to discuss the fate of the Nebula Chaser with Leia Organa Solo. Even though there was no military action, Republic General Muun decided that it was best to have the military presence on full-alert, in case there was any treachery. (SBS)

Operation Retribution
This Alliance action involved a two-pronged attack. The first part involved a full-scale assault on a minimally-defended Imperial outpost. This operation was a feint, meant to draw Imperial forces away from repair station M13. A small team of Alliance agents was then dispatched to Mycroft, and was able to infiltrate station M13 and render it useless to the Empire. (SWCP)

Operation Roundabout
This was the codename used by Admiral Matric Klauskin and the forces of the Galactic Alliance to describe their plan to establish a base of operations on the planet Tralus, creating a show of force that would prevent Thrackan Sal-Solo and his Corellian insurgents from seceding from the Galactic Alliance. By controlling Tralus, Klauskin and the GA navy were able to blockade the entire Corellian System, forcing all inbound and outbound traffic to submit to security checks and eliminating much of the commerce that kept the Five Brothers viable. The military forces on Tralus established their base on operations within the Navos Center for the Performing Arts. (LF1)

Operation Safe Passage
This was the codename of the evacuation plans developed by the Jedi Knights, in the event that their base on Eclipse was discovered by the Yuuzhan Vong or the Peace Brigade. (SBS)

Operation Shadow Hand
This was the name given to the master plan devised by Emperor Palpatine for the retaking of the galaxy, following his defeat at the Battle of Endor and his subsequent resurrection on Byss. Operation Shadow Hand involved the launching of wave after wave of devastating assaults on the New Republic. He appointed seven elite Dark Jedi, known as the Executors, and placed them in charge of carrying out the plan's orders. However, with Palpatine's final death on Byss, Operation Shadow Hand was closed out. (DE1, DE2, NECH)

Operation Shadowplay
This Alliance military operation was implemented in order to get supplies and heavy equipment to forces inserted on Imperial-held worlds. Shadowplay used stealth-equipped combat freighters to deliver the supplies. The freighters would skim the atmosphere of a planet, appearing on sensors as a large meteor or asteroid. They would drop the supplies or equipment and then fly off, as if the meteor had disintegrated into several smaller pieces. The "pieces" were often large chunks of ice, in which the Alliance hid the supplies it was delivering. This way, the supplies themselves - whether food or weapons - avoided sensor detection and could be recovered by the on-planet team. (ROE)

Operation Shadowstrike
This Alliance mission was sent to the unexplored planet NCW-781 to recover the pilot known as Prodigal-One and the datacard codenamed Prodigal-Two. (IA)

Operation Sidestep
The codename given to the military operation surrounding the New Republic's deflecting the Centerpoint Station attack on Bovo Yagen. It was commanded by the Bakuran Naval officer, Hortel Ossilege. (SC)

Operation Skyhook
This was the codename of Princess Leia Organa's mission to retrieve the plans of the first Death Star. The mission was predicated on an agent being able to steal the plans from a secret Imperial installation, a mission which was successfully completed by Kyle Katarn. Later, Leia was to travel to Toprawa and take custody of the plans herself. However, Imperial forces in the system forced her to change the plans, instead having the plans transmitted directly to her ship, the Tantive IV. (E4R, SWI74)

Operation Starbird
This Alliance operation was set up to provide data on the situation on Goroth Prime, and to determine the best course of action to overthrow the Imperial and corporate control of the Gorothite people. Agents working on Operation Starbird were given a fair amount of autonomy, and assumed guises which allowed them to infiltrate the Imperial forces and the corporations, while prodiving them with access to the native Gorothite population. Operation Starbird supported the efforts of the Gor'Jen'Ar, working to undermine the efforts of the Empire without direct confrontation. (GSE)

Operation Starlancer
This was the name given to the Inner Circle's development of the pipefighter, in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. Originally conceived on Borleias, Operation Starlancer was designed to fool the Yuuzhan Vong into thinking that the Borleias base was more imptorant than it actually was. The operation was a front, to draw attention away from the Inner Circle's plans to infiltrate Coruscant. Danni Quee allowed Tam Elgrin to steal "information" on Starlancer, information that led the Yuuzhan Vong and Viqi Shesh to believe that the Borleias base was trying to grow immense lambent crystals to use as focusing crystals in the pipefighters. The goal of the Starlancer project was to be able to launch remote strikes against Yuuzhan Vong warships, without actually engaging the alien invaders. Analogous to the superlaser used aboard the Death Star, Starlancer employed pipefighters to fire intense bolts of energy. These were combined in order to form a single, super-powerful beam. This beam was focused through a lambent crystal but, unlike the Death Star's laser, could distort space and time to increase acceleration through hyperspace, therby allowing the Republic to strike anywhere in the galaxy froma remote location. The plan worked quite well, forcing the Warmaster Tsavong Lah to reinstate the rank of his own father, Czulkang Lah, in an effort to destroy the Borleias base. This allowed Wedge Antilles to give the remnants of the New Republic's Advisory Council a chance regroup elsewhere and plan a retaliation against the Yuuzhan Vong. (EL1, EL2)

Operation Strike Fear
This was the name given to a plan devised by Emperor Palpatine, just prior to the onset of the Galactic Civil War, as a way to prevent rebellion on planets that had shown a willingness to join the Alliance. Developed in response to the growing resistance that was being led by Mon Mothma, Operation Strike Fear involved the use of the Imperial fleet to subdue pockets of resistance and obliterate them. The goal was to suppress further resistance via the fear of Imperial retaliation. However, the rebels were able to score several naval victories against the Imperial fleet, giving them the confidence to openly declare their rebellion against the Empire. (XW, NECH, XWP)

Operation Strong Hand
This was the New Republic's codename for the final assault on the Yevethan Navy, during the Black Fleet Crisis. It involved the use of the White Current, wielded primarily by Wailu and Akanah, to create the illusion of a huge war fleet attacking the Koornacht Cluster. Primary command of Strong Hand was given to General A'baht, with his five senior officers - Corgan, Mauit'ta, Morano, Poqua, and Grekk 9 - defining the various roles and assignments. (TT)

Operation Trinity
This was the codename of the massive assault on the Bilbringi asteroid belt, devised by the Galactic Alliance in an effort to eliminate the Yuuzhan Vong presence in the area. The Operation was based on coordinated HoloNet transmissions between the fleets commanded by General Wedge Antilles, General Traest Kre'fey, and Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon. General Antilles fleet, simply named Alpha, was the point for the operation, with Pellaeon commanding the Beta fleet and Kre'fey the Gamma fleet. However, the Yuuzhan Vong chose this point in their invasion to unleash the mabugat kan, which destroyed several HoloNet relay stations and shut down communications between the fleets. Only Antilles' brilliant feint saved the Alliance's forces, as he faked a reactor core meltdown aboard the Mon Mothma and drove off the Yuuzhan Vong. (FP)

Operation Twilight
This was the codename of one of Darth Vader's first missions for Emperor Palpatine, during the early years of the New Order. Like Order 66, Twilight was known as an LSO - a large-scale operation. The exact objective of the Twilight operation was unclear at the outset, even to many within the Imperial command structure. The goal of Operation Twilight, however, was to root out and eliminate any form of resistance or rebellion against the Empire, preferrably with one coordinated attack.

The first stage of the operation was to have involved the use of a memory-altering drug that was being developed by Jenna Zan Arbor, which could be used to create spies or influence interrogations. The second stage involved Eve Yarrow, who posed as the freedom fighter known as Flame. In the guise of Flame, Yarrow was able to draw rebel leaders together as part of the Moonstrike project, and gather them in a known location that would allow Imperial forces to eliminate them all with one swift stroke.

The entire operation began to fall apart when Jenna Zan Arbor was injected with the drug by Linna Naltree, utterly erasing all knowledge of the drug and its development methods. Operation Twilight was eventually exposed by Ferus Olin and his fellow rebels, who were able to pinpoint Flame's true identity and discern her role within the Empire. However, Vader had received information from not only Eve Yarrow, but also from General Toma, who had been offered rulership of his homeworld of Acherin in exchange for information on the asteroid base Ferus had set up. With this information, Vader was able to trap the members of Moonstrike on the asteroid, which he then destroyed with orbital bombardment from his Star Destroyer. In the end, Operation Twilight had been deemed a success, although Emperoro Palpatine still regarded Vader as a failure. (LJ7, LJ8, LJ9, LJ10)

Operation Venom
Operation Venom was the Empire's plans to root out and destroy the Alliance's Pegasus Strike Force. Under the command of Admiral Berthogg and the Behemoth, the Empire made some headway against the Alliance fleet near Orellon II. (SWJ2)

Operation Yavin Kill Two
This was the codename of Darth Vader's plan to lure Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker back to the remains of Alderaan. He set about planting rumors about the discovery of parts of the Royal Palace of Alderaan in the heart of Asteroid 7785. Vader then augmented the rumors by adding a story about the mining survey team discovering a survivor in the asteroid who claimed to be Bail Organa. Vader went so far as to build a replica of the Palace inside the asteroid, using motion sensors and other mechanisms to trap his victims inside. Unfortunately for Vader, a group of Alliance agents intercepted the message from Hanos Darr and Zaz Hamiroz before it reach Leia Organa, and arrived at the asteroid before she did. The trap was sprung, but without the victims Vader intended. (GA)

Operation: Elrood
This Imperial action was designed to take control of Elrood Sector, not just the interdicted space between Derilyn and Berea. Note that the final section of Operation: Elrood indicates that this was an Alliance action. (OE)

Operational Multisystem Management
Abbreviated OMM, this was a system implemented by the Corporate Sector Authority to allow each member of the Authority to access a huge database of information.

Opit-Wenbruh
This young Tren felt betrayed when his people voted to join the Empire, but served out his term with the military before beginning a personal crusade to expose the Empire as a xenophobic dictatorship. In an effort to strike out at the Empire, Opit-Wenbruh joined the Alliance and served in the Tynquay Skirmishes before joining the famous Scandium Team as a heavy-weapons specialist. He was one of six members of the team to survive the Wellte-ir Massacre. (SWJ11)

Ople, Gres
This woman once worked for the Trandoshan pirate Chorssk, until she was lured away by the Regal Heirarchy of the planet Ilimardon. She was promised large sums of credits to steal a breeding pair of Chorssk's domesticated mynocks, which she stole and brought with her to Ilimardon. There, she worked to develop a flock of domesticated mynocks for the Heirarchy's private use. Chorssk, upon learning of her defection and employment, vowed to hunt her down and kill her for her treachery. (WOTC)

Oplovis
This planet was the capital world of the Oplovis Sector. Like the rest of the sector, Oplovis was under the control of the Empire during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (RASB, WBC)

Oplovis Sector
This area of the galaxy contained the planet Oplovis. The sector was under the control of the Empire during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (RASB)

Oplovis Sector Fleet
This was the Empire's primary naval force in the Oplovis Sector of the galaxy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the Oplovis Sector Fleet was attacked by a small task force of Alliance vessels. The resulting loss of life and ships prompted Darth Vader to personally visit the Oplovis garrison, where he permanently relieved that commanding officer of duty and ordered the fleet reformed. The Alliance base in the neighboring Atrivis Sector continued to monitor the Oplovis Sector Fleet, and was able to determine when the fleet was finally restocked and ready to move out on maneuvers. With intelligence and data gathered by probe droids and analyzed by its best operatives, the Alliance was able to launch its own attack on the Oplovis Sector Fleet, catching the Imperial ships as they entered the Atrivis Sector. The battle that ensued was a rout, with the Alliance forces all but destroying the Oplovis Sector Fleet. (RASB)

Opodim
This man was one of the Ministers who formed the government of the planet Danoor, shortly after the Battle of Endor. He was a contemporary of Waric Nane.

Opreka, Kalzutan
This man, a native of the planet Naboo, served as the Chairman of the Naboo Moon Mining Union, shortly before the Clone Wars. It was Opreka who called for the "sit-in"protest of the decision by Queen Jamillia to close off certain Naboo starports to mining traffic, in favor of allowing refugee ships to land there instead. Union ships were left in their berths, preventing refugee ships from landing, in protest of the loss of kassoti spice caused when it couldn't be processed in time. (HNN5)

Opur
This man worked for Talon Karrde as a security officer aboard the Wild Karrde during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (EVC)

Oqa
This bio-organic membrane was used by the Yuuzhan Vong as the connecting tube which allowed two of their starships to dock with one another. Individual Yuuzhan Vong could then travel back and forth between the ships by traversing the length of the oqa membrane. The name oqa was derived from the word used to describe the proboscis of a Yuuzhan Vong pack animal. The interior of the oqa membrane was continually bathed with noxious slime, which was secreted by the oqa as a sterilization and decontamination agent. The floor of an oqa was referred to as a microbial mat, and was constantly swept clear of debris by clusters of tiny, white arachnids. (EVR, UF)

Oracle
This group of Imperial probes was destroyed by the Alliance, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)

Oracle at Pelgrin
Located on the planet Pelgrin, this unusual device was created millions of years ago by the Pelgrin race. The facility which housed the Oracle stood some ten stories in height, being formed on dieuw tree wood and reinforced with metal, and contained a complex network of gears, switches, and pendulums. A central shaft reached from the base of the Oracle to its pinnacle, where a single chamber was situated. The initial discovery team, led by Ermin Phin-Mar some 3,000 years before the Battle of Naboo, was unable to restart the Oracle, but Phin-Mar ascertained that it was originally created as an astronomical device that held a religious or predictive place in Pelgrin culture. This led to its description as an Oracle. However, further investigation by the Jedi who accompanied Phin-Mar, Shannur Darkstar, revealed that the Oracle had some deep connection to the Force. When Darkstar first tried to puzzle her way through to a better understanding of the Oracle by meditating in the upper chamber, she brought the machine back to life. Rather than being operated by a crew of Pelgrins, the Oracle operated on the energy of the Force. Darkstar herself had a vision of a great war, and many other Jedi who arrived on Pelgrin also saw devastating events in the future. Popular rumors sprang up that the Pelgrins foresaw their own destruction in the Oracle, depsite the fact that there was no evidence to support such a theory. The most intriguing mystery of the Oracle was the fact that it required an individual with a strong connection to the Force to operate it, although there was no record of the Pelgrins having any Force-sensitivity. Because of the catastrophic nature of the visions experienced in the Oracle, the Jedi Council requested that access to the Oracle be restricted, while scientists claimed that the Jedi were creating a false sense of evil around the Oracle to keep it for themselves. The Old Republic Senate sided with the Jedi, but allowed a few state-sponsored investigations. The Jedi Knights began to catalogue the visions which were reported, and only began to see the truth of the predictions decades later, when certain events the Oracle foresaw actually came to pass. The most disastrous visions, such as that experienced by Shannur Darkstar, took millennia to occur. Unfortunately, the Oracle was destroyed by a group of pirates during the last decades of the Old Republic. These pirates had been hired in secret by Chancellor Palpatine himself, out of fear that the Jedi Knights might discern his plans to take control of the galaxy. (PJSB)

Oracle Base
This Alliance military outpost was located on the planet Tel III, in Brak Sector, during the Galactic Civil War. It was supported by starfighter bases in the De'nel, Jinet, and Intran Systems. The base was hidden within the planetary nebula surrounding the Tel star. At the time of the Battle of Yavin, Oracle Base supported more than 366 personnel, including 214 troops. (SESB, FBS)

Oracle Droid
This was a specialized form of automaton that was often found in circuses and carnival arcades. For a few credits, a being could have the oracle droid "read" their future and describe events that would occur in their lives. (CN3)

Oracle Squadron
This was the designation of the Alliance Y-Wing squadron stationed at Oracle Base, on the planet Tel III, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The squadron sustained fifty-percent losses during the attempt to rescue prisoners from the Caged Animal, after the Empire launched its own ambush on the Alliance forces. (FBS)

Oracle, The
This ancient Ithorian male was the leader of a small band of envionrmentalists who lived deep in the jungles of their homeworld of Ithor, communing with nature and monitoring the lifecycle of the Mother Jungle. Although completely blind, the Oracle was able to move about in the temple where he lived, and never seemed to miss a step while walking through the surrounding jungles. During the height of the New Order, the Oracle was greatly concerned about the Imperial presence on Ithor, but found himself powerless to do anything about it. His ability to "hear" what the jungle around him was saying only made it harder for the Oracle to accept their advice, which was to seek peace with the Imperials, despite the fact that it was the Imperials who were destroying the jungles. In fact, it was the Imperials who blinded the Oracle and left him for dead, after he refused to help them learn about the Bafforr trees. (MIS7)

Orade, Ghes
This Mandalorian soldier agreed to meet with Boba Fett and Goran Beviin at Zerria's Bar, on Drall, to discuss Thrackan Sal-Solo's offer of employment, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Sal-Solo wanted the Mandalorians to fight on the side of Corellia, if he was forced to go to war against the Galactic Alliance in order to ensure Corellia's independence. Orade was distinguished by his buzz-cut, blond hair, as well as his badly broken nose.

Orade, the adopted son of Novoc Vevut, later became emotionally attached to Fett's granddaughter, Mirta Gev, when Mirta returned to Mandalore with Fett to bury her mother, Ailyn Vel. When questioned by Fett, Orade openly stated that he was planning to marry Mirta. Orade later served among the many Mandalorians who participated in the Second Battle of Fondor, where they served as backup for Admiral Daala's Maw Irregular Fleet, and recaptured the destroyer Bloodfin.

Upon their return to Mandalore, Orade and Mirta were married in the Mandalorian tradition. In the weeks that followed, the Mandalorians were pressed into action to defend the Verpine, who were attacked and forced into servitude by the Imperial Remnant. Upon landing on the Nickel One asteroid, Orade and Mirta were part of a task force that was dispatched to seize control of the asteroid's reactors. Two-thirds of the task forces was killed or injured shortly after landing, and Orade suffered a vicious wound. He was stabilized and placed aboard their Tra'kad transport, to await the rest of the squad. Although only a few Mandalorians survived the assault on Nickel One, Ghes was among them, and he was able to make a full recovery. He was later reunited with Mirta, but they were forced to find a new home after the Galactic Alliance's Fifth Fleet unleashed an Imperial nanokiller virus on Mandalore, hoping to kill off any member of Boba Fett's family. (LF2, LF5, LF8, LF9)

Oradin
This was one of the largest cities on the planet Brentaal, and it boasted an Imperial-class spaceport. In the years following the Battle of Endor, much of Oradin was held by supporters of the New Republic, which allowed the Republic to establish a temporary base there prior to the Battle of Brentaal. Parts of the city were destroyed during the initial battle against the Imperial forces, and an assault shuttle was shot down and crashed into a school. Is Oradin a city or a planet? The captions seem to indicate it's a city on the barren moon of Brentaal IV, but discussion among the New Republic military indicate it's a planet. (XWES, IR)

Oradin Diamond
Created by Lon Isoto, this medal was given to the pilots of the 181st Imperial Fighter Group, which helped defend the planet Brentaal from the early efforts of the New Republic to take the planet. Similar in design to the Vuultin Starburst, the Oradin Diamond had an organic look to its red, heart-like center and gold flares. (XWES)

Orah, Hol't Deb
This being was a reporter for the Corellia Times newsfeed, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Hol't Deb Orah was noted for covering the traditional Wookiee holiday known as Life Day, and the urban legends that surrounded it. (SWGAL)

Oraltor
This Ithorian was one of Ithor's Senators to the Old Republic, in the last decades of the Old Republic. (SWRPG)

Orame
This female Duros worked as a traffic control officer at the Jedi academy on Ossus, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. In the years that followed, Orame remained loyal to the new Jedi Order, and was part of the mission established by Luke Skywalker to hunt down Alema Rar in the wake of the Swarm War. (DN1, LF6)

Oran
This New Republic Navy Communications Officer served under Commander Zoalin aboard the Adamantine before succumbing to the Death Seed plague unleashed by Seti Ashgad. (POT)

Oran Mas
This was one of many cities on the planet Haruun Kal which were controlled by the Balawai during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SHPT)

Orane Mountain
This was the tallest peak on Beija, the small strip of land which connected the Jhunia snow plains on Neftali to the Yiulimar Fjords. (BSS)

Oranessan System
Dengar and Neelah took the Hound's Tooth to this remote system, in an effort to draw the forces of Kodir of Kuhlvult away from the transport ship of Balancesheet, shortly before the Battle of Endor. Their plan was to divert the Kuati ships' attention long enough for Boba Fett and N'dru Suhlak to leave the assembler's ship in Suhlak's Z-95 and flee to Tatooine and recover the load shifter which contained Kuat of Kuat's falsified record of the deaths of Owen and Beru Lars. (HM)

Orange District
This was the unofficial name of one of the many districts of Galactic City, on the planet Coruscant. Its name came from the fact that the residents of the district defied the Galactic Senate by replacing the clear, white bulbs in the district's streetlights with orange bulbs. Every time the Senate dispatched a Coruscant Utilities work crew to replace the orange bulbs with clear ones, the residents pulled the clear bulbs out and put orange ones in their place. The Senate finally gave up trying to maintain the correct bulbs, and simply let the district have its orange lights. The orange glow of the streetlamps gave the district a lurid, moody atmosphere. It was said that the only way to find the Orange District was to already know the way, since its residents had no desire to attract the attention of the outside world.

In the wake of the Clone Wars, the Orange District seemed to get more "orange," as more and more lowlifes and criminals came to make their home in the area, lending it an even more menacing reputation. The Empire attacked several locations in the Orange District where rebels and other anti-Imperial groups had hiding places, hoping to smash any resistance before it could gain a foothold. (LJ3, LJ4, LJ7, LJ10)

Orange Gorse
This distinctive shrub was one of the most exotic forms of gorse found in the galaxy. (CN1)

Orange Lady Tavern
This tavern was located on the planet Corellia, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Note that the Star Wars Adventure Journal, Issue 5 claims this tavern was located on Nar Shaddaa. (SWJ5, SWJ15)

Orange Panthacs
This was the name adopted by a group of B2-series Super Battle Droids that rallied together on the planet Mantessa, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, and fought back against the invaders. The Orange Panthacs managed to defeat a group of firebreathers and protect the citizens of the planet, earning a special commendation from Chief of State Cal Omas. (NEGD)

Oran-m
This planet was the largest in the Oranessan System. It was near this world that N'dru Suhlak delivered Boba Fett back to the Hound's Tooth, after returning from Tatooine to recover the load shifter of Kuat of Kuat. (HM)

Orar
This forty-meter-long Mandalorian assault vessel was part of the small fleet that was assembled by Boba Fett, who was contracted by Admiral Daala to provide backup for the Imperial forces that were assisting the Galactic Alliance's mission to capture the planet Fondor, during the height of the Alliance's war with The Confederation. Fett himself traveled to Fondor aboard the Orar, along with Ghes Orade, Jaina Solo, and Baltan Carid, using the transponder identification of a combat broadcast unit to remain anonymous until Daala called them into the fray. Unfortunately, they arrived just after the murder of Gilad Pellaeon by Tahiri Veila. Fett immediately contacted Vitor Reige, who was Pellaeon's aide aboard the Bloodfin, and arranged to board the vessel and rescue Pellaeon's supporters. They also were charged with taking possession of the pocket destroyer, so that it didn't fall into enemy hands. (LF8)

Orar
This Mandalorian word meant "thunder" in the Basic language. (OWS)

Orar Squad
This clone commando unit of the Grand Army of the Republic was trained by Rav Bralor during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (RC66)

Or'arue
This Mandalorian word translated literally into Basic as "one big enemy." (LF8)

Or'atin'la
This Mandalorian translated into Basic as "tough one," referring to an individual's ability to take whatever life threw at them. (RCTC)

Orax
This planet was known for its wondrous mineral formations, as well as its hot springs. It was also the homeworld of the species of intelligent, crystalline lifeforms known as Shards. (AE)

Orb of Passage
This unusual stone was discovered some 4,000 years before the Battle of Geonosis by the mysterious Tet-Ami. The Orb, nothing more than a round pebble in appearance, contained the power to control time. (T13)

Orbalisk
This barnacle-like creature was native to the moon Dxun. These symbiotic parasites were protected by a hard shell, and oozed an acidic slime that they used to eat away at whatever surface they attached themselves to. Orbalisks preferred to feed on living flesh, and could infest a living sentient in minutes. The average orbalisk was about the size of a large fist, but they could be as large as a dinner plate. The color of an orbalisk's shell was usually a dark brown or reddish color, and seemed to glint with a golden light. The shells were virtually impenetrable, and protected the creature's soft underbelly. The mouth of the orbalisk was located on its belly, allowing it to latch itself onto a host and be protected by its shell as it fed on the host. Orbalisks lived in large swarms, crawling across any surface like a noxious tide of dark water.

These creatures were attuned to the Dark Side of the Force, having lived in proximity to the tombs of Freedon Nadd and Exar Kun for many millennia. Because of this, any orbalisk that attached itself to a Sith Lord or other Dark Side adept would form a mutually beneficial symbiosis. The orbalisk fed on its host, but it also injected a potent chemical into the host's bloodstream that greatly aided in healing, and provided increased strength. As it matured, an orbalisk would eventually undergo a kind of reproductive fission, splitting into two distinct creatures. As they died, individual orbalisks had to be removed, or the creatures would release a deadly toxin into the host. This toxin literally melted the host's internal organs, attacking the brain first.

Because the orbalisk was almost impossible to kill, many Sith warriors chose to use orbalisks to create a kind of living armor which grew as the orbalisk reproduced. However, any being who chose to employ this form of living armor would eventually be covered and consumed by the orbalisk family. However, once a stable, symbiotic relationship was established, the orbalisk armor actually helped heal wounds suffered by its host. In his holocron, Freedon Nadd stored knowledge of a special helmet, face guard, and gloves that could be created by a Sith Lord. These specially-crafted objects allowed the wearer to take on orbalisks as armor, yet prevent them from covering the head, face, and hands.

Investigation by several noted xenobiologists, among them Doctor Osaf Hamud, discovered that orbalisks could only be removed by the careful application of electric shocks. These shocks had to be powerful enough to pass through the host and into the flesh of the orbalisk, yet not harm the host. If the tools were available, the necessary electric shocks could be administered with a small needle or metal rod that was inserted between its shell and the flesh of the host. Just as the orbalisk fed on the flesh and Force energy of its host, the creature could also gain sustenance from electricity. Individual creatures continued to absorb electrical energy until they gorged themselves. Their fleshy underbellies would expand and eventually rupture, forcing the creature to let go if its host just before it died. (GMR3, DSSB, DBRT)

Orbalisk Armor
Many Sith warriors chose to use orbalisks to create a kind of living armor which grew as the orbalisk reproduced. The individual orbalisks had to be removed, or the being would be covered and consumed by the orbalisk family. However, once a stable, symbiotic relationship was established, the orbalisk armor actually helped heal wounds which its host suffered. (DSSB)

ORBAT
This was an acronym used by the officers of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe the orders of battle, which defined the arrangement of forces within the GAR. There were two distinct ORBATs employed by the Grand Army, one for regular forces and one for special forces. The regular army ORBAT remained virtually unchanged throughout the Clone Wars, but the special forces ORBAT was adapted to meet the changing needs of the battle against the Separatists. The regular army ORBAT originated with the Grand Army itself, and was broken down into ten Systems Armies, twenty Sector Armies, eighty corps, 320 legions, 1,280 legions, and 5,120 regiments. Each regiment was broken into four companies, each of which had four platoons, which were divided into four squads of nine troopers led by a Sergeant. The special forces ORBAT was much simpler, with the Special Operations Brigade being formed into ten battalions, 100 commando groups, and 500 companies. Each company was made up of 100 troopers divided into five troops. Each troop then had five squads of four men. Thus, at the height of the conflict between the Republic and the Separatists, the Special Operations Brigade contained 50,000 troopers, while the GAR consisted of nearly 3,000,000 soldiers. (SWI84)

Orbatex
This term from the Bocce langauge translated into Basic as "orbit". (GPB)

Orbego, Sal
This was the name of a noted Pa'lowick. (UANT)

Orb-igniter
This was the specialized energy igniter developed by the Wookiee race for use in their custom-build long-guns. Each orb-igniter was a piece of artwork, resembling a golden sphere that was mounted in the ornate stock of the weapon. (CVD)

Orbit Dock
Any space-based landing and maintenance facility for starships. These can be small docks, catering to small freighers, or they can be huge, multiple-facility stations capable of servivign capital ships. One of the most famous docks was in orbit around Sluis Van. (HTTE)

Orbital Assembly Facility 7
This was one of the many construction facilities maintained by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, during the decades leading up to the Clone Wars. Orbital Assembly Facility 7 was believed to have been the station that produced the YT-1300 freighter that eventually became known as the Millennium Falcon. (MF)

Orbital Debris Committee
This New Republic Senate committee was establised in the wake of the Imperial Civil War. After the deaths of Grand Admiral Thrawn and the resurrected Emperor Palpatine, Coruscant was the site of intense fighting, both on the ground and in the air, as Imperial factions struggled to assert themselves as the dominant power in the galaxy. After the New Republic took control of Coruscant and put an end to the fighting, there were too many warships left derelict in orbit around Coruscant for the new Republic's meager forces to remove, so they were simply abandoned and tracked as orbital debris, until more salvage teams could be sanctioned to remove them. Larger hulks were easy to identify and track, while small pieces and undetonated explosives regularly slipped through shields and other defenses and either burned up upon re-entry or exploded with the surface. The duty of the Orbital Debris Committee was to ensure that continual improvements were made in the skies over Coruscant, in order to make the planet accessible again to the rest of the galaxy and ensure the safety of the planet's inhabitants. (JS)

Orbital Gun Platform
Any small ship or base that can launch an attack from orbit. (E4R)

Orbital Mines
Small satellites that can be placed in random orbits around a planet. They have tiny propulsion systems that keep them moving in orbit. They also have sensitive detonation systems tuned to explode upon impact. (CPL)

Orbital Nightcloak
This Imperial invention employed thousands of orbiting satellites which, when linked electronically, distorted the natural waves of light from a star and bend them in toward the satellites, effectively preventing all wavelengths of light from reaching the planet below. This caused the planet to cool quickly, and freeze within two weeks. Warlord Zsinj first put these devices to practical use. The first time, he used was them to faked the destruction of the Iron Fist at Selaggis Six. He flew the Super-class Star Destroyer into a tunnel created with nightcloaks, hiding the ship from New Republic forces while he jumped to hyperspace. After fleeing, the nightcloaks were recovered, revealing the debris from the mocked-up Second Death to portray the rubble of the Iron Fist. Later, Zsinj used them to force the inhabitants of Dathomir to surrender to him, after Rancor Base had been infiltrated by New Republic forces. The blockade was smashed by the combined forces of the New Republic and the Hapan Cluster. (CPL, IR, NEGW)

Orbital Nightcloak Mark II
This upgrade to the Imperial orbital nightcloak system used satellites which were also equipped with short-range laser cannons and targetting computers, allowing them to fire on any ship which might try to disable the satellite. (EGW)

Orbital Processing Plant One
This was one of the many orbital research and development facilities constructed by PharmCom, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. (FJ3)

Orbital Relay Satellite
These transmission satellites, known as ORS devices, were deployed by exploration and reconnaissance ships over specific planets. The satellites can be linked in any number and configuration, and continuously relay information to a central site or flagship. (TT)

Orbital Security Station Six
This was one of the many orbital stations that protected and defended the planet Coruscant, during the final years of the Great Galactic War. This station was destroyed, and all hands aboard were killed, when the Sith Lord Angral made his daring attack on Coruscant. (TOP1)

Orbital Shipyard 1321
Part of the massive starship construction facility located in orbit around Fondor, this facility was in the process of refitting the Amerce when Fondor was attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong. (JE)

Orbital Space Tug
A starship used to ferry larger ships into and out of orbital docking bays and shipyards. (CS)

Orbital Strike
This weapon appeared to be a long-barreled blaster rifle. However, it was actually more of a targeting device. When fired, the Orbital Strike shot a beacon at a target. The signal from this beacon was then detected by a starship in orbit, which then sent a blast of ion energy creashing into the beacon's location, destroying everything in its blast radius. While effective, the beacon could also be disabled or destroyed within a five-second window, and the orbiting starship would lose its ability to locate the target. These weapons came into use during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (LAWS)

Orbital Transports Union
This organization of transport companies and independent spacers was formed on the planet Corulag during the last decades of the Old Republic. A series of confrontations between the Union and Zafiel Snopps erupted during the last years of the Old Republic and continued into the New Order, as strikes were called to protest near-continual increases in berthing taxes. (CCW)

Orbitblade-2000
This zZip aerospace transport was used by many private corporations for transporting goods and personnel from the ground into low orbit. It measure four meters in length, and was armed with a concussion missile launcher for defense. It was favored for its modularity, which allowed owners to swap out components and parts to meet their individual needs. (CSA)

Orbiter
This was a game of chance, similar to the Jubilee Wheel, played in many casinos and gambling halls across the galaxy. (WSV)

Orbiting Shipyard Alpha
Primary shipyard used by the Duro, it orbits the planet Duro about 100 miles into the atmosphere. (MMY)

Orborus
This was a common name among the Temolak race. (UANT)

Orbot
This series of protocol droids was produced by Serv-O-Droid during the last century of the Old Republic. This unit proved to be quite popular in the Mid Rim, where beings were not as wealthy as their counterparts in the Core Worlds. When Serv-O-Droid learned that Cybot Galactica had produced its 5YQ-series protocol droid with components from the Orbot, they took the larger corporation to court and eventually won their case. This forced Cybot Galactica to halt production of the 5YQ series. Many beings continued to mistake the two series of droids during the decades that followed, and although the Orbot series sold well, production was eventually halted dur to deceasing demand. (MBS, NEGD, CN2)

Orb-spider
This spider was distinguished by the spherical web was wove to trap and ensnare its prey. (YDR)

Orbus, Evar
The former leader of the Max Rebo band, Evar Orvus was the band's Letaki headsman. Orbus was able to vocalize across eleven sectaves on the musical scale, while playing a number of instruments with his many tentacles. He decided to get rich by forming his own band, originally known as Evar Orbus and his Galactic Wailers, around himself, Max Rebo, and Sy Snootles. It was Orbus who bought Droopy McCool, then Snit, and added him to the band. When the band was hired to perform in Mos Eisley, the local Bith band Figrin D'An and the Modal Nodes intercepted them at the spaceport and attempted to hijack them. Evar became angry, and tried to kill the Bith. He used a blaster that he had hidden in a false tentacle, but only managed to get the band into more trouble. In the ensuing firefight, Evar Orbus was killed by a stray blaster bolt. (TJP, SWI67)

OrC-19
This was MicroThrust's planetary com-scan unit. The Alliance used the OrC-19 in its defense of Echo Base, on the planet Hoth. (EGW)

Orcel, Batral
This young man, the son of a wealthy Cloud City family, was an Alliance supporter during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He used his position to help the Alliance in any way possible. Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, Batral was identified as an Alliance sympathizer by Justor Ferral, who captured Batral and brought him in for questioning. Batral was later rescued by the Alliance agents sent to Cloud City to transport refugees to Kaliska. (GMR3)

Orchard Crystal
This was another name for a life-crystal. (LCF)

Orchid, The
This high-class, five-star hotel was located adjacent to Aramand's restaurant, in the city of Drepplin on Glova. Like Aramand's, The Orchid was owned and operated by planetary Governor Tegist Byrg. (POC)

Orchid-bean Extract
This sweet-tasting extract was created from the beans of a single species of orchid, and was used to flavor various desserts and beverages. (DN1)

Orcim
This Imperial BFF-1 freighter was destroyed by Keyan Farlander during his first tour of duty as an X-Wing pilot, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. The ship was carrying munitions at the time it was destroyed. (XW, XWP)

ORD
This was the acronym used to describe any world that served the Old Republic as an Ordnance/Regional Depot. Over time, the acronym was simply spoken aloud and added before the name of the planet, as in Ord Mantell or Ord Sigatt. (LCSB, EGP, LLOW)

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

Ord
This prefix, which was used in the names of many modern planets, was actually an acronym used by the Old Republic to denote a world which housed a military outpost. These worlds were designated as Ordnance/Regional Depots, or ORDs. Over the centuries, the acronym was spoken aloud and added to the name of the planet, as in Ord Mantell or Ord Sigatt. (LCSB, EGP)

Ord Ambassador
This was Ord Mantell's most luxurious hotel. (ROM)

Ord Antalaha
This planet was colonized during the Clone Wars as an Ordnance/Regional Depot along the Shwuy Exchange. The bases were abandoned after the Clone Wars, and the colonists eventually moved elsewhere. About ten years before Emperor Palpatine initiated the New Order, Ord Antalaha started being used as a stopover by smugglers and pirates. The planet's warehouses and buildings were soon converted for use by the outlaws, and Ord Antalaha became a haven for independent spacers. The planet had three continents, all of which were covered with temperate forests and plains. (PP)

Ord Biniir
This planet was the site of a series of Galactic Civil War battles. The first was a victory by a squadron of Y-Wings against the uninspired Imperial forces of the 233rd Imperial Fighter Wing, while the second was a decisive victory by the 181st Imperial Fighter Group against the same Y-Wings. The second battle was a hollow victory for the Empire, since it took place on the same day as the Battle of Yavin. (EGV, MBF)

Ord Bueri
This planet was the site of an Old Republic ordnance and regional depot. (IWST)

Ord Canfre
This planet was overrun by the Separatists, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. (SWI65)

Ord Cantrell
This planet was considered one of the most exclusive resorts in the galaxy. After the death of Emperor Palpatine's clones at Byss, the Imperial Interim Ruling Council set up their base of operations there, in the city of De-Purteen. (CE2)

Ord Cestus
This planet, the homeworld of the X'Ting race, was originally known simply as Cestus, until the Old Republic was allowed to use the planet as a prison world, some 321 years before the Battle of Yavin. Because of the presence of the prison facility, the planet was designated as an ordnance/regional depot, and renamed Ord Cestus. Much of the planet's landmass was volcanically active, resulting in a landscape that was continually being reshaped by lava floes. Because of this activity, the rich stores of valuable ores and minerals found beneath its surface were continually being exposed and combined, resulting in a veritable treasure trove of raw materials. Much of the planet's surface was once covered with sand and small bodies of water, with hardy plants eking out niches by exuding acids through their roots to break down the rock and sand into essential elements. Most X'Ting lived in underground hives, preferring to remain out of sight of the offworlders who lived in ChikatLik city. Their networks of tunnels and caves were lit by a bioluminescent, white fungus, which survived by eating away at the rocks on which it lived. This served to naturally expand the tunnels and caves over time. The planet was orbited by a pair of moons. The descendents of the prisoners who were first incarcerated on the planet became farmers and settlers, using stringent irrigation techniques to grow more than two dozen different kinds of vegetables. However, the abundance of the raw materials was eventually discovered, and many of the resources proved to be important components needed in the manufacture of droids. It was on Ord Cestus that Baktoid Armor Workshop set up its first major operations, although its manufacturing facility was shut down shortly before the onset Clone Wars due to the increasing tariffs imposed on the Trade Federation for their battle droids. This tariff didn't stop the work of Cestus Cybernetics, however, which had the backing of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. During the height of the Clone Wars, Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto, along with their group of clone troopers, managed to defeat the Separatist forces that controlled the planet and the native X'Ting population. With the planet secured, the Republic constructed a medical station in orbit around Ord Cestus to serve the surrounding sector. (HNN4, OWS, HIV, TCD, NEGD, CWTV30)

Ord Cestus Medical Center
This space station was constructed in orbit around the planet Ord Cestus, during the era of the Clone Wars. After the Galactic Republic was able to liberate the planet from Separatist control, the medical facility was established in orbit around Ord Cestus as the primary medical station in the sector. (CWTV30)

Ord Dorlass
This was a little-known planet located in the Rayter Sector. (CRO)

Ord Grovner
This planet was used as a naval base for the Imperial Navy. The Crusader and the Bombard returned to the base at Ord Grovner after the defeat of the Khuiumin pirates. (SWJ6)

Ord Ibanna
This gas giant planet was home to a famous podracing course that wound its way through an abandoned, floating gas refinery. During the Clone Wars, the Jedi Order established an outpost on the planet, which served as a remote meeting place for those agents who were working undercover to infiltrate the ranks of the Separatists. (RAC, J4)

Ord Janon
This planet was once the site of base used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Army of the Republic was able to force the Separatists off Ord Janon, freeing the planet's populace. (SWI65)

Ord Klina
A planet. (AIR)

Ord Lithone
This planet was the site of a Baktoid Armor Workshop manufacturing facility which was shut down, shortly before the onset Clone Wars, due to the increasing tariffs imposed on the Trade Federation for their battle droids. (HNN4)

Ord Mandel
Another spelling of Ord Mantell. (RC)

Ord Mantell
Located in the Bright Jewel System, Ord Mantell was known for its lenient banking laws and their flexibility. A temperate world, Ord Mantell was settled some 12,000 years before the Battle of Endor by Corellian colonists as an advanced military outpost for the Old Republic. The name "Ord" stemmed from its original designation as one of the Old Republic's Ordnance/Regional Depots. Over time, more wealthy planets and better hyperspace routes diminished Ord Mantell's strategic importance, but became something of a free port for all manner of freighters and cargo ships. When the local Admiral sold off the Ord Mantell fleet to cover his own corrupt needs, the Republic military leaders abandoned the outpost. The hard-working spacers who had made their livings on the planet were suddenly forced to deal with an influx of smugglers, bounty hunters, and pirates who slowly took over leadership of the planet. The planet was famous for its thick, outer cometary cloud, which glowed with a pinkish cast when viewed from space. The clouds later became the site of the Blockade Runners Derby, which was held annually during the century leading up to the Battle of Endor. Two large moons and thirteen other satellites orbited the planet, and the cloudcover was tinged with pink when viewed from the planet's surface. These natural wonders made Ord Mantell something of a tourist attraction, despite its seedier side.

Despite the planet's dropping stature during the centuries before the Great Sith War, Ord Mantell remained known as the Heart of the Bright Jewel, orbiting the blue star at the center of the Bright Jewel System. During the years that followed the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, the leaders of the planet decided to remain allied with the Galactic Republic, despite the fact that the Sith Emperor was now in control of the galaxy. This set off a civil war between the Republic loyalists and a separatist faction that opposed the planetary government. These separatists caused damage to key government locations, prompting military responses from the government that devastated Ord Mantell's landscape.

During the era of the Galactic Civil War, the planetary leaders had claimed to be free of Imperial interest, but Han Solo discovered an Imperial fleet on maneuvers when he arrived there. It was at a starship scrapyard on Ord Mantell that Dash Rendar, working to locate information on Han Solo's whereabouts for Lando Calrissian after the debacle at Cloud City, ran into IG-88 and other bounty hunters. The bounty hunters were trying to intercept Boba Fett, who was transporting Han Solo's frozen body to Jabba the Hutt. Grand Admiral Thrawn made a feint attack on Ord Mantell, just prior to his attack on Coruscant.

During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Ord Mantell was approached by the New Republic to help alleviate the overwhelming rush of refugees fleeing the battlezones. Like many refugee worlds early in the war, it was eventually overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong. The planet was eventually liberated by a band of soldiers wearing Mandalorian armor. It was believed that their leader was none other than Boba Fett himself, although only Han Solo had any evidence to support this rumor. (E5, TLC, MTS, SSE, ROM, TTSB, SL, HT, SWDB, FH3, UF, SWORW)

Ord Mantellian Flutterplume
This form of display was developed on Ord Mantell. It consists of large groups of repulsorspheres which trail numerous metallic streamers. They bob and float in a complex mixture of colors and sizes, mimicking the native flutterplumes of Ord Mantell. (ROM, SWDB)

Ord Mirit
A planet in the Mirit System, located in the same sector as the Pyria and Venjagga Systems. It was the site of an Imperial base, but the planet's remote location dictated that the remnants of the Empire abandon it following the Battle of Endor. The garrison on Ord Mirit was moved to Corellia to guard the shipyards there. (XWN)

Ord Mynock
This planet was believed to have been the world on which mynocks evolved. (SWDB)

Ord Namurt
It was on this planet that Aurra Sing was captured by a group of Sennex Pirates. (OWS, ASNG)

Ord Pardron
The primary planet in the Ord Pardron system, Ord Pardron was a defensive center for the New Republic. The planet itsels was nothing more than a barren rock, with a thin atmosphere and very little gravity. However, it was rich in minerals and ores, and was extensively mined by the Old Republic and the Empire. It served as the primary defensive site for the Abrion and Dufilvian sectors (including Ando, Filve, and Crondre). The New Republic base there was attacked by the Death's Head, as part of Grand Admiral Thrawn's plans to stretch the Republic's defenses in the wake of the Battle of Bilbringi. (TLC, TTSB)

Ord Pedrovia
This was a model of podracer favored by Gasgano. The cockpit measured 2.72 meters in length, and the engines were 6.71 meters long. They were capable of speeds reaching 823 kilometers per hour. (JAS, IG1)

Ord Pedroviz
see Ord Pedrovia (EP12)

Ord Radama
This planet, located in the Mid Rim Territories, was the homeworld of the Devlikk race. Note that the galaxy map inside Star Wars Insider, issue 65, indicates that Ord Radama was in the Outer Rim Territories. (IWE1, SWI65)

Ord Sabaok
This planet was located in the Core, and was known for its exclusive nightclubs. (CRO)

Ord Sedra
This planet was one of the many worlds that were part of the Imperial Remnant, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was one of the first Imperial worlds to be subjugated by the Yuuzhan Vong, although their attacks were greatly aided by members of the Peace Brigade. A collaboration between Kyle Katarn, Jans Ors, and Imperial forces led by Lieutenant Pallin was able to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong and free the planet's inhabitants. (T21)

Ord Segra
This planet, located in the Doldur Sector, was run by a corrupt government. The government demanded a seven percent "bribe" from any ship which passes close to its system. Any ship that chose not to pay was immediately fired upon. (SWJ6)

Ord Sigatt
This was an Outer Rim mining world. It was here that Dexter Jettster first met Obi-Wan Kenobi. Ord Sigatt was a small planet, with a largely barren landscape that was broken by small lakes. The planet was settled by colonists sometime after the Republic abandoned it as an Ordance/Regional Depot, but these colonists discovered that the planet's resources could barely provide enough sustenance to survive. Many colonists moved away as soon as something better came along, while other eked out an existence as best they could. The discovery of a lode of carvanium led to an influx of mining operations, during the decades leading up to the Clone Wars, and Ord Sigatt experienced a several waves of immigration and growth. Many long-time residents sold their properties for huge profits and fled the planet, leading to the formation of several shanty-towns that ringed the mining operations. (SWDB, LLOW)

Ord Sigatt Spaceport
This was the primary spaceport serving the mining corporations that were based on the planet Ord Sigatt, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (LLOW)

Ord Thoden
This tectonically-active planet was located in the Dynali Sector of the galaxy. (HNN4, SWMW)

Ord Tiddell
This planet was virtually destroyed by a stone mite infestation, just prior to the Battle of Geonosis. The natives of this Mid Rim world fled in panic, leaving cities abandoned. (HNN5)

Ord Torrenze
This planet was liberated from an invasion force during the last decades of the Old Republic, in a struggle which became known as the Battle of Ord Torrenze. (DARK)

Ord Traga
This planet was the site of a possible Imperial base. (SWJ7)

Ord Trasi
This planet was the site of an Imperial shipyard during the reign of Grand Admiral Thrawn, some five years after the Battle of Endor. It was eventually retaken by the New Republic, and the planet served as the staging point for many fleet maneuvers. Foremost among them was the assembly of a task force, under the command of Garm Bel Iblis, to attack the Ubiqtorate base on Yaga Minor and recover a copy of the Caamas Document, some fifteen years after the Battle of Endor. (TLC, VOF)

Ord Varee
Ord Varee was one of the first ten planets to join the Refugee Resettlement Coalition, shortly before the Clone Wars. (HNN5)

Ord Vaug
This planet was liberated from Imperial control by the Alliance, shortly after the Battle of Endor. (PH)

Ord Vaxal
This planet served as a penal colony during the last years of the Old Republic, with facilities for psychiatric treatment as well as maximum security jailcells. About twenty years before the Battle of Yavin, a planet-wide jailbreak overthrew the current overseer and his wardens, and the criminal population took control. This anarchic form of society prevailed for many years, until the Empire took control of the planet. The lawless population was then forced to submit to Imperial rule. The planet itself was the primary world in the Vaxal System of the Inner Rim. It was orbited by a single moon. (OWS, DM106)

This man was part of the small contingent of Alliance personnel who remained on Yavin 4, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. (SWG2P)

Order 1
This Habeen cargo container was part of a convoy that was ambushed by Nharwaak forces, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. The Order 1 was carrying parts and research staff to the primary Habeen research station when it was attacked, although an Imperial task force was nearby to help drive off the Nharwaak ships. (TIE, TIEP)

Order 2
This Habeen cargo container was part of a convoy that was ambushed by Nharwaak forces, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. (TIE, TIEP)

Order 3
This Habeen cargo container was part of a convoy that was ambushed by Nharwaak forces, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. The Order 3 was carrying weapons to the primary Habeen research station when it was attacked, although an Imperial task force was nearby to help drive off the Nharwaak ships. (TIE, TIEP)

Order 37
This order was issued by Inquisitor Malorum to the Imperial forces that controlled the city of Ussa, on the planet Bellassa, about a year after the end of the Clone Wars. Under Order 37, hundreds of Ussan citizens were to be arrested and held for assassination, unless Ferus Olin turned himself into the authorities. Among those citizens targetted by Order 37 were journalists, writers, artists, weapons experts, and former soldiers and military officers. The plans for Order 37 went so far as to outline the ways in which the hundreds of bodies of those beings who were assassinated could be disposed of in secret, so as not to cause public outrage at the deaths. Obi-Wan Kenobi managed to uncover the plans for Order 37, and worked with Ferus to thwart the plans of Inquisitor Malorum. (LJ1)

Order 4
This Habeen cargo container was part of a convoy that was ambushed by Nharwaak forces, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. The Order 4 was carrying supplies to the primary Habeen research station when it was attacked, although an Imperial task force was nearby to help drive off the Nharwaak ships. (TIE, TIEP)

Order 4, `
This was one of the 150 provisions of the Contingency Orders for the Grand Army of the Republic: Order Initiation, Orders 1 Through 150. Under Order 4, the Vice Chairman of the Galactic Senate would assume leadership of the GAR if the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic were to become incapacitated. The Vice Chair would remain in command of the GAR until a successor to the Chancellor was named, or some other authority figure was recognized by applicable laws. The mechanism for determining the next level of authority was described by Section 6, subpart iv of the Contingency Orders. (RCTC)

Order 5
This Habeen cargo container was part of a convoy that was ambushed by Nharwaak forces, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. The Order 5 was carrying technical staff to the primary Habeen research station when it was attacked, although an Imperial task force was nearby to help drive off the Nharwaak ships. (TIE, TIEP)

Order 5
This was one of the 150 provisions of the Contingency Orders for the Grand Army of the Republic: Order Initiation, Orders 1 Through 150. Under Order 5, command of the GAR would be transferred to the Chief of Defense if the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic were ever to be declared unfit for leadership. The rules by which the Chancellor were to be assessed were described in Section 6, subpart ii of the Contingency Orders. Order 5 allowed the Chief of Defense to remain in command of the GAR as long as a "strategic cell of senior officers" was appointed to assist in commanding the army, and until a successor was named for the Supreme Chancellor, or some other authority figure was recognized by applicable laws. The mechanism for determining the next level of authority was described by Section 6, subpart iv of the Contingency Orders. (RCTC)

Order 65
This was one of the 150 general contingency orders established by the Old Republic for handling the operations of the Grand Army of the Republic, and outlined in Contingency Orders for the Grand Army of the Republic: Order Initiation, Orders 1 Through 150. As described in the official records of the Old Republic, Order 65 described any situation in which the Supreme Commander was deemed no longer capable of leading the GAR. The determination of whether or not the Supreme Commander was fit to issue orders was left to a majority vote of the Galactic Senate, or a determination from the Security Council. Once the Supreme Commander was deemed unfit, a predefined authorization code would be issued to the clone commanders of the GAR to detain the Supreme Commander by any means necessary, including lethal force. The current Chancellor of the Republic, or the acting Chancellor in the case that the Chancellor was also the Supreme Commander, was then named the acting Supreme Commander, until a suitable replacement could be appointed. (RCTC)

Order 66
This was one of the 150 general contingency orders established by the Old Republic for handling the operations of the Grand Army of the Republic, and outlined in Contingency Orders for the Grand Army of the Republic: Order Initiation, Orders 1 Through 150.

As described in the official records of the Old Republic, Order 66 was put in place to address any situation where the Jedi officers of the GAR acted against the general interests of the Republic. It explained that the Supreme Commander of the GAR, who was essentially the Chancellor of the Republic, was authorized to issue orders that gave clone commanders the right to use lethal force to eliminate the offending Jedi officers. Clone commanders were given special verification codes to ensure that the new orders actually came from the Chancellor himself. Once put into action, Order 66 placed the command of the GAR into the sole hands of the Supreme Commander, until such time as a new command structure could be put in place.

This order was among the myriad of orders that were driven into the training of every clone commander who served the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. The order was not programmed into a clone's brain, but was simply another command that could be issued to clones who were trained to be unfailingly loyal to Chancellor Palpatine. The order was given after Palpatine had destroyed Mace Windu and much of the Jedi Council, who had come to arrest him on charges that he was actually Darth Sidious. Palpatine would later explain that the Jedi had tried to execute him, warranting the issuance of Order 66 as a way to ensure his own safety. The communications issuing Order 66 were sent to clone commanders on secure Republic links, but were encrypted with codes used only by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, thereby ensuring its secrecy.

Upon hearing the execution of Order 66 from the supreme ruler of the galaxy, clone commanders abandoned any loyalty to their Jedi Generals and began to open fire on them. This allowed Darth Sidious to eliminate a huge portion of the Jedi Order in short order, and became the opening act in the Jedi Purge. Historians later debated whether or not the issuing of Order Sixty-six signalled the true end of the Clone Wars, since the order was only issued after Palpatine declared himself Emperor. Others argued that the true end came when Anakin Skywalker - now known as Darth Vader - traveled to Mustafar to eliminate the Council of Separatists. Note that Last of the Jedi: Return of the Dark Side indicates that Order 66 was an Imperial order, although this is not explicitly called out in any other texts. (IS3, E3N, ROF, SWI83, RDV, LJ6, RCTC)

Order 66 Cookies
According to urban legend, these were a kind of cookie that was handed out by Imperial personnel during the annual Empire Day celebration. (SWGAL)

Order of Battle
This was the name used to describe the alignment of forces within the Imperial armed forces. Both the Imperial Army and the Imperial Navy had well-defined Orders of Battle, although commanders in both branches could adjust force strengths as necessary. Known to most officers as the OB, the Order of Battle presented the entire layout of the armed forces, and provided guidelines for the numerical strength of any given unit.

The Order of Battle for the Imperial Army started with a squad, made up of eight soldiers and their commanding Sergeant, as the basic unit of military strength. The number of soldiers could be augmented to ten or twelve, depending on the needs of a given battle zone. Four squads were then collected to form a platoon, each of which was led by a Lieutenant and a Sergent Major, and had a specific military objective in a given engagement. Four platoons made up a company, which was led by a Captain. Four companies made up a full battalion, which was the smallest deployable unit of the Imperial Army. Each battalion was commanded by a Major. Four battalions grouped together formed a regiment that was led by a Lieutenant Colonel. For major offensives, four regiments could be united to form a battlegroup that was led by a High Colonel, and that was delpoyed against a concentrated pocket of resistance. Four battlegroups could be placed under the command of a Major General to form a corps, which was the smallest unit of armed forces deployed for a planetary invasion. Four corps could be put together to create an army, which was commanded by a General. A Systems Army, led by a High General, was formed from one to three armies, and was deployed to maintain control of a planetary system. Lastly, a Sector Army was formed from two to four Systems Armies, and followed the orders of a Surface Marshall to maintain control of a given sector or area of the galaxy. The numerical strength of any unit within the OB could be augmented, depending on the situation, and provisions were made for nearly limitless expansion of the Army's forces.

The Order of Battle for the Imperial Navy was based on a command, representing a single vessel that was commanded by a Captain. From four to twenty commands then made up a line, which was commanded by the Captain of the Line. In some cases, a line could be as small as a single vessel, depending on the nature of the engagement. A naval squadron was made up of fourteen to sixty individual vessels, and was commanded by an Admiral. The squadron was considered the smallest naval unit for controlling a single star system. Three full squadrons and one light squadron could be grouped into a Systems Force, which contained no more than ninety vessels and patrolled a group of neighboring star systems. Each Systems Force was commanded by a systems admiral, otherwise known as a Commodore. The Systems Forces commanded by a single admiral and patrolling an entire sector were known as a fleet, although the number of forces varied with the conditions. The largest fleet described by the Imperial Order of Battle was a superiority fleet, which consisted of two force-superiority forces and two escort force units, and contained up to six Star Destroyers and 390 other vessels. The largest Naval unit was the Sector Group, which was led by a High Admiral and consisted of twenty-four Star Destroyers and up to 2,400 other vessels. The Sector Group represented the sum total of all vessels in a given sector. (ISB)

Order of Dai Bendu
Little was known of this ancient organization, whose name was coaxed from crumbling history disks found during the height of the Old Republic. Many historians and scholars believed that the Order of the Dai Bendu was one of the original incarnations of the Jedi Order, although no evidence was ever found to support this claim. (PJSB, NECH)

Order of Independent Trade
This was one of two primary pirate organizations which survived in the Cularin System, during the era of the Battle of Naboo. The Order allied themselves with Nirama, and were given a good deal of work smuggling personnel and supplies into the system underneath the watchful eyes of the Old Republic. (LFC)

Order of Shasa
This quasi-religious order was formed by the Selkath many generations before the Galactic Civil War. They took up the mantle of protecting Manaan from attacks during the years surrounding the Great Sith War. It was believed that the Order of Shasa was formed after a group of Selkath spent several years studying with the Jedi Knights, although rumors persisted that the Selkath had actually been trained by the Sith. In reality, the origins of the Order of Shasa were traced back to the Selkath individual known as Shasa, who had been tricked into joining the Sith. She later returned to her homeworld and vowed to protect it from any outside invasion or attaclk. The Order of Shasa protected Manaan for many generations, even during the years in which kolto production was stopped and the planet fell into disarray. Like the Jedi, new members of the Order had to train for long periods of time before being admitted as full members. In another parallel to the Jedi, each new member had to forge their own weapon - a fira - before becoming a member. Members of the Order of Shasa were sensitive to the Force, and had some minimal training in how to use it. However, this training proved woefully inadequate when Manaan was subjugated by the Empire. With the Selkath reduced to living above the water, the Order urged the Selkath to bond together against this new enemy, forming some of the first cells of resistance on Ahto City. (PH, SWMW)

Order of the Canted Circle
This elitist group was one of the oldest and most exclusive social orders found on the planet Coruscant. Due to the large number of wealthy individuals who make Coruscant their home, the waiting list for admission into the Order was quite long, and the requirements quite rigid. During Emperor Palpatine's reign, the Order was primarily made up from Imperial dignitaries and high-ranking military officers. On average, only eleven new members were chosen each decade. (SWJ9)

Order of the Dark Lords of the Sith
This was the term used by the Sith brotherhood to describe those members who had been elevated to the rank of Dark Lord of the Sith. In the wake of the Battle of Ruusan, the Order only had two active members: a Sith Master and their apprentice. (E3N)

Order of the Kilmar Bange
This secret society, based in Tapani Sector, was considered harmless during peacetimes, but could be the most ferocious of enemies during war. Made up of former House Melantha members who had graduated from the Imperial Academy on Raithal, the Order also accepted associate memberships from Corulag graduates. Their mission was to ensure brotherhood among its members and to strengthen the ties between House Melantha and the Empire, especially during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Despite its pro-Imperial stance, the Order was actually started many centuries prior to the rise of the New Order as a social club. (LOE)

Order of the Sacred Circle
This was the religion that dominated the planet Monastery. The name of the Order originated from the rings of debris which encircled the planet. To the adherents of this religion, the rings represented the eternal and ever-renewing cycle of life. In all matters, the Order of the Sacred Circle tried to remain strictly neutral. During the Separatist crisis that engulfed the galaxy just before the Clone Wars, Monastery opened her ports to refugees, provided that they converted to the Order upon their arrival. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, their belief in the circle of life kept them from siding with either the Empire or the Alliance, for fear that the war would break the circle of life and doom the galaxy. The Emperor dispatched Darth Vader himself to convince the Order to side with the Empire. His arguments convinced the leader of the Order, the young Domina Tagge, to side with the Empire. Sister Domina, however, had already planned to side with Vader, in an effort to force him into a deadly duel with Luke Skywalker. The Order suffered greatly from the Imperial presence near Monastery, and when Domina Tagge stepped down as the High Priestess of the Order, the Circle of Elders agreed to ally themselves with the Alliance. (HNN5, MC34, MC37)

Order of the Sith
This was the term used by the ancient Jedi Knights to describe the Brotherhood of Darkness. (DBRT)

Order of the Sith Lords
This was one name used to describe the Sith Lords who succeeded Darth Bane, in the wake of the Battle of Ruusan. The members of the Order of the Sith Lords included the Masters and their apprentices who kept the Sith doctrine alive, such as Darth Sidious and his apprentices, including Darth Vader. (E3Y)

Order of the Terrible Glare
This ancient preisthood was based on the planet Garn. It was destroyed by the Jedi Knights thousands of years before the Battle of Yavin, but the Order left behind the Portal Desolate on Garn. Within the portal was a computer-generated image of Rur, the last of the Order's High Shamen. Rur's image was placed there to destroy the Jedi once the Order could be re-established. However, when Luke Skywalker discovered the portal during the Galactic Civil War, the computer system coudn't reconcile the facts that the Jedi were extinct and a great deal of time had elapsed. The computer syste exploded, taking with it the last remnants of the Order. (CSWDW)

Order of Tund

Order to Reveal
This Old Republic law, when invoked, required a Senator to reveal all information requested by an investigation. The order to reveal was created to prevent a Senator from hiding information which was necessary to the resolution of a crime, especially when the crime directly involved the Senator or his staff. The need to enforce an order to reveal was required to be severe, and an ocean of paperwork had to be completed, submitted, and approved before the order could be implemented. There was only one known loophole to the order to reveal petition, which involved a Senator invoking their sitting right of refusal. While the right of refusal was legally binding, it did place the Senator in a compromising light. (JQ5)

Order, The
This was one of the many terms used to describe the new Sith order that evolved on the planet Korriban, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. (FJ1)

Ord'ika
This was the diminutive form of the Mandalorian name Ordo, translating into Basic as "little Ordo." Kal Skirata used this nickname to refer to the first of the Null-class ARC Troopers, whom he named Ordo. Like other such names, the use of the nickname Ord'ika was reserved for those times when Mandalorians were among brothers, and it was never used in front of strangers. (RCTZ)

Or'dinii
This Mandalorian word meant "moron" or "fool" in the Basic language, although the more literal translation was closer to "complete lunatic." (OWS, SWI87)

Or'diniise
This was the plural form of the Mandalorian word or'dinii, which meant "moron" or "fool". (RC66)

Ordnance Lifter
This was the military version of the binary load lifter, developed by Cybot Galactic for the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Each of these bipedal automatons was equipped with a pair of heavy lifting arms, that allowed the ordnance lifter to load starfighters and other warships with missiles, and other ammunition. The central processing unit of the ordnance lifter was located in the rear of the droid, in a position to offset the heavy weight of the ordnance it moved. (SWI81)

Ordnance/Regional Depot
This was the term used by the military forces of the Old Republic, some 12,000 years before the onset of the Clone Wars, to describe those frontier worlds that served as military and scouting bases. These worlds were chosen as advance bases of operation during the Republic's attempt to expand its sphere of control. These bases allowed Republic military forces to restock and refuel before pushing deeper into the galaxy, to explore space or defend new member worlds. Over time, military personnel began to refer to these worlds by the acronym ORD, and the planets simply became known as Ords. Many of these worlds were given new names, adding the word Ord at the beginning, as in Ord Mantell or Ord Sigatt. When the Republic's military forces were reduced in the wake of the Great Sith War, many of these planets were converted to disposal centers for all manner of weapons, while others were turned over to colonists for settlement. (LCSB, EGP, LLOW)

Ordnandell
A planet. (RPG)

Ordo
This clone of Jango Fett was one of the first to be genetically altered by Ko Sai and other Kaminoan scientists, in an effort to produce a superior clone from the original material. However, like the other clones produced from this experiement, Ordo was deemed too unreliable to train. Simply designated N-11, Ordo was to be destroyed with his brothers until Kal Skirata was brought in by Jango as one of the Cuy'val Dar. It was Skirata who gave him the nickname Ordo, because Skirata hated the cold detachment of the Kaminoans and their simple, numerical designations. Skirata took an immediate liking to Ordo, and often stated in later years that Ordo was his first son, a statement he made good on when he invoked the gai bal manda and formally adopted Ordo. Ordo and his brothers were trained as part of the so-called Null-class ARC Troopers, the first units to be trained for special operations missions.

Several months after the Battle of Geonosis, Ordo was assigned as an assistant to Kal Skirata, who had recently accepted a military position within the Grand Army of the Republic. During the mission to free Senator Meena Tills from a group of Korunnai terrorists led by Nuriin-Ar, Ordo was forced to use an EMP charge to disable all holocameras in the immediate area, after the violent death of Jedi Master Kaim. Shortly afterward, Ordo served as Skirata's chief lieutenant during the black-ops mission to smash a Separatist-funded terrorist ring on Coruscant, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. It was Ordo who supported Skirata's plan to hide the news of Darman's son, being carried by the Jedi Knight Etain Tur-Mukan, until the war was over. However, Ordo was a bit surprised when Skirata ordered him to travel to Qiilura, to keep an eye on Etain as the time of the baby's arrival drew near. Skirata explained that Etain seemed more comfortable around Ordo, and that he would not cause any undue concern when he showed up. Ordo was surprised to find that Etain's baby was about six months along in its development, despite the fact that less than two months had passed since she became pregnant. He transported Etain back to the water-covered of Dorumaa, wher they met up with Skirata and Mereel, who had managed to capture Ko Sai with the help of Walon Vau.

When the Kaminoan scientist refused to be bullied into submission, Ordo had a sudden and nearly disastrous realization. He came to understand that Ko Sai would not talk to them about prolonging the life of a clone, because she knew that the information she kept secret was desired by the clones. Acting in anger, Ordo destroyed the datachips that had been recovered from her laboratory, completely eliminating decades of research and leaving her without a bargaining chip. When Skirata asked why he had destroyed the data, Ordo explained that he had made the decision himself, because it was about time the clones stopped looking to Skirata for help and started making their own decisions. Ordo agreed to follow Skirata back to Mandalore, where they could watch of the remaining period of Etain's pregnancy, and continue their interrogation of Ko Sai. On Mandalore, Ordo revealed to Etain that had not destroyed the last copy of Ko Sai's data. However, he explained that he had to keep this information from Skirata, in order to ensure that Skirata's reaction to the loss of the data was real enough to convince Ko Sai. This admission pained Ordo, who looked up to Skirata as a father, and he was greatly relieved when he finally explained the whole thing to Skirata.

In the wake of the search for Ko Sai, Ordo was ordered back to Coruscant, which allowed him to keep an eye on Besany Wennen, the finance agent who had helped Kal Skirata and his clone troopers learn about the inner dealings of the Supreme Chancellor's office. Ordo found himself attracted to Besany, an attraction that he later found to be mutual. When Besany was nearly apprehended by Abrian Lemmeloth, Ordo realized that he had fallen in love with Besany, and asked her to marry him. He was pleased when she agreed, and they quickly exchanged the traditional Mandalorian wedding vows. Ordo was also relieved of a personal burden when Skirata formally adopted Mereel, Jaing, Kom'rk, A'den, and Prudii, making them all his sons and placing them on the same level as Ordo himself.

In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Ordo and his comrades began assisting Skirata in carrying out their escape plans. Before leaving Coruscant, however, he delivered news to Arligan Zey that Kom'rk and Jaing had located General Grievous on Utapau. Ordo was surprised when Zey questioned why he didn't like the Jedi Order, and Ordo gave him an honest answer: the Jedi Order had been led by the same leadership for centuries, and had become stagnant. However, it was Maze who gave Ordo something to think about, when he questioned Ordo's relationship with Besany Wennen, while other troopers were still out fighting the war. Ordo then offered Maze the opportunity to join the other clones on Mandalore, if he ever wanted the chance to experience a simpler life. When the command to execute Order 66 was issued, Ordo was near Arligan Zey's office, and tried to intercept Maze before the other trooper could carry out the order. Zey, however, had no illusions about what he was facing, and ordered Maze to shoot him. Confused, Ordo left the offices and set out rendezvous with Skirata.

Before they could all escape from Coruscant, they learned that Etain Tur-Mukan was stuck on the planet. Communications revealed that she was trapped at a security checkpoint on the Shinarcan Bridge, but the clones were unable to reach her before she was struck and killed by the lightsaber of a panicked Jedi Padawan. Ordo's confusion turned quickly to pain and anguish, which were only magnified when Niner was injured in a fall caused by the Padawan's attempted escape, and both Niner and Darman were stranded in the chaos that followed. Only Jaller Obrim seemed to be thinking clearly, and he was forced to stun Kal Skirata into submission in order to force the clones to make their escape. Ordo and Corr made off with Skirata's limp body, but Ordo knew that he could never trust a Jedi again, not after what had happened to Etain. He and Corr rendezvoused with Atin and made their way to Mandalore. (SWI81, SWI87, RCTZ, RCTC, RC66)

Ordo, Canderous
This man was one of the Mandalorian Mercs who rose to power following the Great Sith War, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. He was also a born leader with considerable skills as a tactician and solider, and his battles plans were instrumental in winning many battles against the Old Republic. After the Mandalorian Wars saw the defeat of his people at the hands of the Old Republic, Ordo took his combat skills and went into business for himself. For many years, he worked for the crimelord Davik Kang on Taris, using the distraction of the Great Sith War to continue his missions without worrying about being captured. When the Sith destroyed the Endar Spire over Taris and then blockaded the planet, Ordo was among the millions who were eager to flee Taris. As luck would have it, he was contacted by Carth Onasi and Bastila Shan, survivors of the Endar Spire who needed to get off Taris and hunt down Darth Malak. He managed to acquire the droid T3-M4, after he had been ordered to retrieve it by Kang, and used the droid's skills to slice into the Taris defense networks. Using stolen codes, the band managed to escape Taris just before the Leviathan destroyed it. Ordo remained with the Republic agents, searching for Darth Malak and the Star Forge. In the wake of the Jedi Civil War, Revan ordered Canderous Ordo to restore the Mandalorians to their former glory. From a base on Dxun, he assumed the position of Mandalore and eventually built up a small army of supporters. When The Exile arrived on Dxun in search of the surviving Jedi Masters, Ordo pledged his support to The Exile, and was instrumental in the destruction of Darth Traya and her students. Canderous Ordo was voice by John Cygan for the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. (KOTOR, SWDB, SWI80, KOTOR2)

Ordomire, Lucky
This forger was well-known to the underworld elements of Lumchugger's Hub, on Bescane. He maintained the BanthaQuik! Restaurant as a front, and anyone requiring his services needed to order specific items from the restaurant's menu. The contact would then be arranged. Ordomire helped a group of Alliance agents gain access to the Wastes, during their search for the Death-Hunter project. Ordomire was often accompanied by his Rodian bodyguard. (SWJ9)

Ore Boulevard
This street was located in the capital city of ChikatLik, on the planet Ord Cestus, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Ore Boulevard was located on the outskirts of the city, and was home to some of the city's seediest establishments. (TCD)

Ore Cannon
This was the name given to the modified accelerator that was developed by Imperial engineers on Raxus Prime, for projecting loads of scrap metal and ore into low orbit, where they could be recovered by the technicians at the Empire's orbiting shipyards. The central computer system known as The Core was reprogrammed to divert salvaged metals and ores to a pre-processing facility, where they were compressed into a small mass that could be loaded into the ore cannon and fired into space. The orbiting shipyard would then use tractors beams to collecte the masses that were flung into space, and would further refine the metals and ores for use in starship construction. The ore cannon was re-targeted by the Starkiller so that it fired its projectiles directly at the shipyards, as part of a mission to destroy the shipyards and gain the confidence of rebel leaders. Unfortunately, the destruction of the shipyards meant that the nearly-completed Star Destroyer in drydock was allowed to fall into the planet, and nearly killed the Starkiller. At the last moment, he was able to use the Force to push the massive ship into the ore cannon itself, destroying both the ship and the weapon in one huge explosion. (TFUN)

Ore Mite
This was a form of insectile creature that fed on raw ores. They were considered pests by miners and asteroid prospectors, since a swarm of ore mites could devour a vein of ores in no time. (EVR)

Ore Sucker
A small pirate ship developed to steal the cargo from the huge Colossus Wasp transport ships. These ships roam the Stenness System, looking for Wasp transports. When they find one, the ore suckers latch onto the Wasp's exterior, and bore into the hull with a drill or laser. Once the hull had been breached, the ore suckers open their own cargo bay hatches and lock them over the breach. The pilots then blow the other cargo bay doors on the ore suckers, creating a vacuum in their own holds. This vacuum sucks the cargo out of the Wasp's holds and into the ore sucker's holds. The pirates who used them had to be quick, so that the stolen cargo didn't simply fly out through their second open portal. (TOJ)

Orell
This was one of the binary yellow stars located at the center of the Veron System. Along with its twin, Noveron, Orell provided energy to all three planets in the system. (PG1)

Orellon I
This large moon orbited the planet Orellon II. It was first believed to be a planet itself, until research indicated it was a satellite. (SWJ2)

Orellon II
This planet, located in the Bastooine System, was covered with lush jungles, sweeping plains, and volcanic mountains. It was also the homeworld of the Kentra. The planet was accidentally discovered by the Jedi Knight Michael Tandre, who was forced to land his starship there. The native Kentra created an entire religion around the Jedi's teachings. (SWJ2)

Orelon
A star in the Hapes cluster. (CPL)

Orenth
This was the sixth combination symbol in the Aurebesh script, and represents the Basic combination "oo". (SWM)

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

Orex
This man was the leader of a group of outlaw techs who were operating from a base in Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was contacted by Lieutenant Talnar and his band of Alliance operatives, who were looking for a source of high-tech goods, when Talnar learned that Orex might be an Imperial spy. In reality, it was one of Orex's men that proved to be the spy, after Orex discovered that the man had been secretly accessing all of Orex's files on Talnar. Talnar's men and Orex's band of techs were forced to fight their way free of an Imperial ambush, after the traitor relayed his information to his contact. (SWMW)

Orfa City
This was the capital city of the planet Kidron. It was the only major city built by the Orfites on the planet, and was established as a testament to the modern technology brought to Kidron by the first off-worlders. Much of the kril processed on Kidron came from Orfa City. (PG3)

Orfa Olfactory Corporation
This Orfite business produced a variety of scent masks and the scent tablets which were used in them. (PG3)

Orfa Olfactory Entertainment, Limited
Based on the planet Kidron, this small corporation made a variety of devices which provided olfactory entertainment to users. This area of entertainment was relatively untapped, but found increasing acceptance during the height of the New Order. (PG3)

Orfa Toolco
This Orfite corporation produced a variety of technology for Orfites who traveled away from Kidron, including the Orfite Power Harness. (PG3)

Orfite
A race of creatures native to the planet Kidron, the Orfites were friendly enough to those offworlders who obey their laws. This was an unusual request, considering that many of the offworlders on Kidron were criminals and convicts escaping justice. The avergae Orfite had a stocky build, and their faces were dominated by their large noses, which were filled with frilled olfactory lobes. The nose of an Orfite had evolved to pick up every trace of breathable air from the thin atmosphere of Kidron, and the Orfites had four lungs which helped get the meager oxygen supply into their bloodstream faster. Their society revolved around the sense of smell, with each Orfite exuding pheronomes which convey a variety of information. They lived in tribes known as sahhs, but every member of Orfite society was free to move about, and could join another sahh if they didn't agree with the leadership of their current tribe. The Empire considered the Orfites to be uncivilized savages, and left them alone. The basic number system of the Orfites revolved around the number four. (PG3, AE)

Orfite Power Harness
Developed by Orfa Toolco, this device allowed an Orfite to maneuver on normal to high-gravity worlds. On Kidron, the gravity was lower than normal, so an Orfite traveling to another planet would experience incredible pressure under higher-gravity conditions. The power harness was small enough to fit under regular clothing, and provided assistance to the legs, arms, back, and shoulders of the wearer. (PG3)

Orfite Scent Mask
Produced by the Orfa Olfactory Corporation, this specialized breath mask was used primarily by the Orfites as a way to make the air they breathed more pleasant. The main unit resembled a standard breath mask, but a small tube connected the mask to a belt pack that used scented tablets to create a breathable mist. The mist was pumped up through the tube and into the mask, allowing the wearer to breaht a variety of pleasurable or intoxicating scents. During the height of the New Order, these masks found their way into non-Orfite society as recreational devices, and the variety of scent tablets grew wildly. (PG3)

Orflon
An asteroid located near the Demophon System, Orflon was the site of an Alliance base during the Galactic Civil War. Frozen and arid, the asteroid was a frigid wilderness that even the Mynocks avoided. (SN)

Orga
This unusual tree grew in the lower levels of the forests of Kashyyyk, and its roots were considered a ceremonial food by the Wookiees. The roots were served at the Life Day celebration, as a way to help the spirit of a Wookiee make the journey to the Life Tree. What made the orga unusual was the fact that it had established a rudimentary level of sentience, as evidenced by documented attempts to communicate with Wookiees and their ability to coordinate the defense of their groves. The orga roots were exceptionally long and far-reaching, allowing the tree to gain sustenance from a variety of sources. However, the tree itself was rooted to the ground and, therefore, stationary. Because of this, orga trees used their flexible limbs to hurl their acidic seed pods at any creature that threatened them. The roots themselves were guarded near the forest floor by sentient plants. (EGC, LAT2, GMR4)

Orgamon
This mountain Nikto worked as Mika the Hutt's bodyguard and agent on Endregaad, during the early years of the New Order. When the Endregaad Plague swept the planet, Orgamon was left behind by Mika, in case Popara sent a rescue party. He was forced to live in a warehouse in the city of Tel Bollin, until a mob of humans led by Radigan tried to kill him, claiming that it was a non-human who brought the Endregaad Plague to the planet. Ironically, Orgamon had actually contracted the disease. He fled to the Fallen Warrior Cantina, where he secured a room until the trouble had passed. When the freelance agents hired by Popara the Hutt finally located Orgamon, he explained that Mika had left him behind in order to track down the source of the plague and how to fight it. Orgamon agreed to take Popara's agents to the Temple Valley in search of Mika, allowing the Hutt to be "rescued". (TF)

Organa, Bail Prestor
A native of Alderaan, Bail Organa was a youth when the hierarchy of Alderaan was thrown into a huge debate about the ascendancy. There were a number of royal families that held claims to the throne of Viceroy of Alderaan, and each of the families was eager to get its own candidate named to the position. After months of political backstabbing and lobbying, the Old Republic was called in and, with the help of the Jedi Knights, finally decided that the Organa family were the rightful successors to the seat of Viceroy. Bail Organa was named a Prince of Alderaan, and he eventually became one of Alderaan's representative in the Galactic Senate. When Bail married Queen Breha, he assumed the titles of Viceroy and First Chairman of Alderaan. He also assumed the role of Alderaan's primary Senator, and was soon engrossed in the new form of politics being played by Senator Palpatine and his supporters. Bail quickly asserted himself as a high-ranking graduate from the Academy, and with his wife's support, he began to work toward restoring the Galactic Senate to its former glory. Note that Star Wars Journal: Queen Amidala and the screenplay of The Phantom Menace state that Bail Organa was the first Senator to second Amidala's motion to remove Chancellor Valorum from office with a vote of no confidence, although the novelization of The Phantom Menace states that it was Edcel Bar Gan.

Organa found himself opposed to the corruption that was taking over in the Senate, and fought for years to bring the corruption to an end. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, he was a member of the Loyalist Committee, and did his best to support the efforts of Chancellor Palpatine. It was a daunting task, but one he gladly accepted. Unfortunately, the Clone Wars broke out with the Battle of Geonosis, and Bail found himself thrust into the midst of a war that would tear the galaxy apart. Palpatine tried to convince Senator Organa to dissolve the Loyalist Committee and focus on security for Coruscant and the government, and brought Organa with him to view the death and destruction that was being caused by Separatist terrorists. Even in this time of death, he and his wife Brehu tried to have children, but her physiology seemed unsuited to pregnancy, and she experienced several miscarriages. Bail never gave up hope, in his wife or the Republic. He became famous for his valor in the Clone Wars, where he fought along side the Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and the young pilot Anakin Skywalker. One of his most dangerous missions involved accompanying Master Kenobi to Zigoola in search of a Sith temple. Senator Organa had not heard of the Sith until receiving information from the Friends of the Republic, and took on the mission because he was angry that the Sith threat had been covered up for the Galactic Senate, and afraid of what kinds of trouble the Sith might inflict on the Republic. On Zigoola, they were able to destroy a Sith temple, but Organa was forced to use Kenobi's lightsaber to cauterize a wound on the Jedi's leg.

Back on Coruscant, it soon became evident that Palpatine was growing in power, and that the Old Republic was rotting from the inside out. Organa was desperate, especially after his speech in opposition to the Security and Enforcement Act was met with jeers and cries of treason from his fellow Senators, and turned to the growing resistance as an outlet for his anger. Along with Mon Mothma, Bail worked to solidify the resistance, working behind the scenes to write the Petition of the Two Thousand. The petition fell upon the deaf ears of Chancellor Palpatine, who revealed himself to be none other than Darth Sidious. Organa tried to make it to the Jedi Temple and ensure the protection of the Jedi Order, but arrived shortly after Skywalker began his killing spree. Organa was forced to flee on his speeder or be cut down, after witnessing the death of Zett Jukassa. After Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi consulted Bail about hiding Anakin's children from the Emperor. Bail agreed to take in Padme' Amidala's daughter and raised the child as his own, working with Breha to ensure the girl's safety and security.

During the early years of the New Order, Bail stuggled to maintain the freedoms that Alderaanians had come to enjoy during the Old Republic. He initially refused to join any rebellious organizations, hoping that the restoration of peace and justice could be handled through the Galactic Senate. However, after meeting with people like Flame and Ferus Olin, Organa realized that the time had come to do something more. He secretly began looking for ways to organize a resistance, and was able to gain the confidence of Rahm Kota and other beings who were tied to the Jedi Order.

When the Corellian Treaty was being discussed, it was the words of Bria Tharen that pursuaded Bail to sign it, bringing Alderaan into the Alliance to Restore the Republic. He maintained his position in the Imperial Senate, and was careful not to draw undue attention to himself. When she began taking an interest in his work, Bail introduced his daughter Leia to the world of galactic politics. As Bail's faith in his daughter grew, he began assigning her more and more Alliance-related missions. One such mission involved traveling to Toprawa and recovering the stolen Death Star plans, and enlisting Obi-Wan Kenobi to help keep them safe.

When Leia was intercepted by Darth Vader and later tortured aboard the Death Star, Bail continued to assist the Alliance up until Grand Moff Tarkin decided to unveil the Death Star's power by destroying the planet Alderaan in an effort to get Leia to talk. Along with his constituents, Bail was killed in the destruction. (E4, SCRE, TPS, RD, JQA, IS1, OWS, RDE, IS3, VD3, E3N, LJ9, TFUN, CWWS)

Organa, Breha
This woman was the wife of Bail Organa, and the reigning Queen of Alderaan during the last years of the Old Republic. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Breha and Bail gladly agreed to take in the infant daughter of Padme' Amidala, after the Senator from Naboo was killed by her husband, Anakin Skywalker. Queen Breha was later dismayed to learn that her own sister, Deara, had been forced to work as an Imperial spy by Darth Vader. She had to exile her sister in order to protect the daughter, whom they had named Leia, and Bail Organa arranged for Deara to be transported to Ankori-7. Is Breha's maiden name Antilles? It is indicated in the Star Wars Episode III Visual Dictionary that she was related to Raymus Antilles, and the Star Wars Databank indicates that the Alderaanian Ascendency Contention was resolved when the House of Organa and the House of Antilles were united by marriage. (VD3, OWS, SWDB, LJ9)

Organization for Organic Purity
This was one of the largest and most influential anti-droid coalitions that was formed in the galaxy. The Organization for Organic Purity argued that droids had doomed large portions of the organic population to poverty and ignorance, as droids were programmed to perform the most basic tasks that would otherwise have been performed by a living being. The OOP was adamant that droids - especially Class Five droids designed for menial labor - took away jobs that could have been performed by organic, sentient beings, despite the fact that very few organic beings actually wanted to do these jobs. (NEGD)

Organoform Circuitry
This technology had been theorized and rumored for hundreds of years before it was discovered to be in use on the planet Zonama Sekot, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. It was said that the technology was developed in the Outer Rim, on planets which were technologically advanced and whic remained separate from both the Old Republic and the Trade Federation. Organoform circuitry involved the use of crystalline structures formed from organic materials. In some respects, organoform circuitry was alive, since it was created from organic matter. However, it lacked sentience, reacting only to the stimuli it encountered. (RP)

Organometallic Reactive Gas
This form of heavy gas was often combined with high-grade steel compounds, to be used in the production of starship fuel cells. (SWG2P)

Organoplastic

Orgon
An alien race of intelligent, mobile plants native to the planet Gorsh, the Orgons were sought after by the Genetech Corporation. Genetech wanted to study them for commercial uses, but a usable specimen had yet to be captured. Their central bodies were shaped and formed like shells, and contained the Orgon's brain and vital organs. Trailing from the central shell were six to eight thick tendrils which helped the Orgon move about. While they lack proper eyes, Orgons can sense light around them. They capture their prey by using potent poisons and strong adhesives to trap it, then slowly digest the prey using secreted acids. (PG1)

Oridin City
This was the capital city of the planet Fondor, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong War. The original capital, Fondor City, was leveled in the conflict, forcing the Fondorians to establish a new planetary capital in Oridin City. However, during the Second Battle of Fondor, Jacen Solo ordered the Anakin Solo to fire upon the cities of Fondor, in an effort to pummel the planetary government into submission. He started with Oridin City, firing the Star Destroyer's turbolasers and projectile weaponry at the city without a care for their actual targets.

Orinda
This small planet was taken by Admiral Pellaeon and the Imperial forces, during the months following the Battle of Endor. In the chaos of trying to bring the galaxy under a new government, the New Republic was slow to respond. Orinda remained under Imperial control, despite the efforts of General Wedge Antilles and the Lusankya, until the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. The Imperial Remnant joined the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, and allowed Orinda to serve as a meeting place for their combined navies. (BTS, ECH, FH2)

Orini, T.
This alias was used by a member of the Liana Liberators, when the rented the luxury ship Perihelion and tried to establish a computer slicing center in the Cularin System, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Orini was supposedly a research student working for Doctors Dantari and Raine, a pair of xenobiologists from the Alderaanian Biological Research Institute who were traveling in the Cularin System to explore its wide variety of flora and fauna.

This was the name of the man captured aboard a Separatist freighter in the Tynnan Sector by Omega Squad, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. Orjul and his Nikto companions, M'truli and Gysk, carried identification that described them as miners, which proved to be an almost perfect cover for their actual mission of transporting explosives for the Separatists. All three were captured by Omega Squad, but not before they sealed off the bridge of their Gizer L-6 freighter and vented the rest of the ship to space. The Omega commandos eventually gained access to the cockpit, but were forced to bide their time until a Red Zero rescue operation could recover them. Orjul was later interrogated by Etain Tur-Mukan and Walon Vau, in connection with the terrorist bombings of military depots on Coruscant. (RCTZ)

Orkana
This polluted section of the planet Tatooine was the site of Orko the H'uun's base. It was a toxic wasteland created by the dumping of materials which were by-products of Orko's various dealings.

Orko was pleased, although no less impressed, with the offering, and allowed Gorga to marry Anachro. The feud between Orko and Gorga continued, at a reduced pace, until Bar-Kooda's brother, Ry-Kooda, heard about his brother's death. The Koodan set out to kill off everyone involved, and nearly succeeded on Skeebo. Boba Fett intervened, taking out the Koodan before he could do any damage. Unfortunately for Orko, Ry-Kooda was not killed. The Koodan tracked Orko to his palace, and killed off all the guards before killing - and eating - Orko. (BF)

This noted Imperial spy, native to the planet Quian, was the son of New Republic Admiral Karin Orlan. Benald received his education on Marngar III, at the Thene campus of the Imperial University on the planet. He graduated with honors, but initially took a job as a clerk for Galaxy Tours before becoming an informant for the Empire. He was so dedicated to the New Order that he turned his own father into the Imperial authorities for sympathizing with the Alliance. His father was later executed, after the Empire learned that his mother had defected to the Alliance and was a member of their command structure. Benald himself showed no remorse or compassion for his parents, believing them to be traitors to the Empire even in the wake of the Battle of Endor. For his parts in the deaths of his family and several other Republic agents, Benald was a wanted man. (SWJ4)

Orlan, Karin
This woman was a native of the planet Quian, and a supporter of the beliefs of the Old Republic. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, she defected to the Alliance, leaving her husband and children on Quian. Little did she known that her son, Benald, had become enamored of the New Order and had informed the local Imperial authorities of his parents' sympathies. After she was promoted to Lieutenant within the Alliance's command structure, Imperial forces wiped out her husband and children on Benald's information. Karin later earned the rank of Admiral in the New Republic Navy, but was unaware of Benald's activities until the New Republic Intelligence agency revealed his part in the deaths of several other Republic agents.

Orlanis, Trista
This young woman was a graduate student of xenoarcheology at the University of Agamar during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She was one of the student leaders of the team which traveled to Bimmiel with Anki Pace, to serach for Jedi artifacts. Trista had a slender build and long, black hair. She was attracted to Ganner Rhysode, when he and Corran Horn traveled to Bimmiel to check onn the group's status. Trista was one of the first beings to encounter the slashrats which were native to Bimmiel, and documented their activities. (DTO)

Orl-ar
One of the six Tiss'shar races, the Orl-ar were characterized by their deep green scales, which were marked by jagged yellow-orange stripes. (UANT)

Orlean
This long-defunct starship manufacturer developed some of the most durable starships ever built, including the Star Cab exploration vehicle. (GG8)

Orleon
This obscure planet was covered with swampland and muddy plains. The surface of the planet was constantly changing, as frequent rainstorms soaked the ground and caused mudslides and floods. Many historians believed that the first stone mites appeared on Orleon, a fact that was muddied by the propaganda of the Clone Wars. In fact, the stone mites had been introduced on Orleon by the Old Republic, which had inaccurately determined that the frieghter Spinner had stopped on Orleon and had been infested with stone mites there by Separatist terrorists. Security Director Armand Isard ordered mutant stone mites created, then launched them at Orleon, in an act of retailitation against the Separatists. Unfortunately, there was no Separatist base on Orleon, and after the stone mites were unleashed, there wasn't much of anything else left, either. The Republic's mutants destroyed everything in their path, forcing an evacuation of the planet's population. In the wake of the evacuation, the stone mites were left untouched, and spent the next several decades chewing through the planet's crust. During the Galactic Civil War, Jabba met up with Han Solo on Orleon, before Solo was captured on Cloud City by Boba Fett. Note that, in the Marvel Comics series, which occurred prior to the release of The Empire Strikes Back, Jabba was an Imzig- or Nimbanel-like humanoid who could move about quite well on two feet. After his ship, the Voidraker, was disabled by stone mites, Jabba had to come aboard the Millennium Falcon in order to survive. Jabba then cleared Solo's debt, and canceled all bounties on his head, in return for his own life. Note that this event was proven apocryphal with the release of Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi., although it was entirely possible that Jabba reneged on the deal as soon as he was safe. (LTA2, MC28, NECH)

Orline
This planet, the third world in the Caridan System, was covered with seas of liquid methane. Orline was orbited by a single moon. (PH)

Orloc
This cloaked man tried to steal Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber from Bast Castle, Darth Vader's fortress on Vjun, some twenty-two years after the Sith Lord killed the Jedi on the first Death Star. During the early years of the New Republic, Orloc remained hidden on Exis Station, searching for the lost lore of the Jedi and the Sith. He posed as a master of the Dark Side of the Force, but he actually had very little sensitivity to the Force. He always wore a purple robe, into which he had woven control buttons and a variety of gadgets. These gadgets allowed him to control his surroundings, giving him the appearance of using the Force to manipulate objects. When he learned of the possiblity that Kenobi's blade on on Vjun, Orloc made a quick trip to Vjun to verify the rumor. He was amazed to find that the Jedi Master Tionne had also heard the rumors, and had prepared for the possibility that the Jedi might also turn up on Vjun. Tionne arrived shortly after Orloc, along with fellow Jedi Master Ikrit and three students - Anakin Solo, Tahiri Veila, and Uldir Lochett. However, Orloc's lack of real power kept him from being able to obtain the artifact. Hoping to use the young boy Uldir as an unwitting accomplice, Orloc promised the boy more power than he could imagine if he was able to penetrate the fortress and steal the lightsaber. However, Uldir was rescued by Tionne and Ikrit, and the lightsaber was returned to Yavin 4. Also located during the rescue was a Jedi Holocron, which was turned over to Luke Skywalker. Orloc and his mercenaries fled into space, returning to their base of operations on Exis Station. On Exis, Orloc reprogrammed all of the droids to do his bidding, leaving his own time free to develop new ways to pretend to use the Force. Throughout his self-imposed exile, Orloc dreamed of capturing Kenobi's weapon and the Jedi Holocron he had encountered on Vjun. Uldir, hoping to redeem himself and prove that he could use the Force, stole the Kenobi lightsaber from the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 and traveled to Exis Station, hoping to gain favor with - and training from - Orloc. However, when he realized that Orloc was offering empty promises, Uldir turned the table on him and helped the Jedi defeat Orloc and recover the lightsaber. With his false contact with the Force revealed, Orloc again fled into the depths of space. (ECH, VF, KB)

Orlok
An Imperial Commander, Orlok was in charge of the Imperial training center on Daluuj. He hunted the Mon Calamari that were stranded on the swampworld, including Ackbar. He hoped the recapture of Ackbar would gain him prestige within the Imperial ranks. He was killed when Ackbar lured his troops into the swampy water, where they were attacked by the huge water-worms. (CSW)

Orlopp
This male Jenet served as a Lieutenant in the Galactic Alliance Guard, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Orlopp was assigned as Jacen Solo's chief aide during much of his career, and was present aboard the Anakin Solo during the Battle of Kuat and Solo's subsequent mission to attack Kashyyyk. When it became apparent that Solo's small force was on its own and about to be destroyed by the forces arrayed against it above the Wookiee homeworld, Orlopp feared for his life. He hoped that Solo's hidden StealthX escape ship had enough room for him as well. (LF3, LF6)

A common name given to Twi'lek males, this name meant "bird of prey". (GCG)

Orn, Kalebb
This man worked his entire life on Mechis III, as an assembly line monitor. He was of the opinion that his presence wasn't needed on the planet, since all the systems were heavily automated and self-designing. His superiors, however, required periodic human intervention and inspection of all processes on the line, so Orn was hired for that purpose seventeen years before the Battle of Hoth. Orn was on duty when IG-88 arrived at Mechis III and began reprogramming the security networks. Part of the new programming included the elimination of any organic life on the planet, and four worker droids pulled Orn apart before he could escape. (TBH)

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

Orn Kios

Ornuk
This bipedal creature was often kept as a pet by wealthy beings throughout the galaxy. (MF)

Oro
Once native to twelve small islands on the planet Alderaan, this species of trees attracted a covering of multihued lichen, giving them the appearance of standing rainbows. The uncovered bark of an oro tree was considered to be edible, and was often dried into sticks that were soaked in a sugar solution to make them sweet. (CPL, RF2)

Oro
This pink-skinned Mon Calamari was one of Mon Mothma's closest advisors until Luke Skywalker discovered Oro was a spy, working for Imperial Governor Parnell. It was later discovered that Oro had leaked word of the Alliance's interest in Erling Tredway to Parnell, who quickly moved to imprison Erling on Tol Ado. After Erling's rescue, Oro was arrested and placed in prison by the Alliance. (JH)

Oro
This was the codename of a group of T-Wing starfighters destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Oro Bread

Orocc, Ninopas
This male Gran and his partner, Botlat Rej, were small-time criminals on the planet Coruscant during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. After Orocc vandalized a hover platform with Cornesian wax, the platform malfunctioned, causing the deaths of three Senators. Orocc fled Coruscant, and a bounty was established for his capture by the Coruscant police force. Orocc hid on Tatooine for a while before traveling to the Outland Transit Station. There, he was captured by Jango Fett and held for questioning. (BH)

Orok
This was one of the many family names used by the Bothan people. It translated loosely to "builder", "architect", or "mason". (GCG, WOTC)

Orokak argg yurag?

Ororo Transportation
This organization was a front company for the Tenloss Syndicate during the Galactic Civil War. Ororo tried to horn in on Black Sun's spice trade shortly after the Battle of Hoth. Xizor sent Guri to deliver a message to the operation, during which she exterminated three of Ororo's highest-placed officials. To further emphasize his displeasure, Xizor gave Darth Vader the coordinates of an Ororo shipyard in the Vergesso Asteroid Field, telling the Dark Lord that the coordinates represented an Alliance shipyard. The shipyard was destroyed by Vader's fleet. In the wake of the Battle of Endor and the downfall of Black Sun, Ororo was expanded by the Tenloss Syndicate and used to provide transportation services for the Syndicate's many operations. Ororo's headquarters were located on Eredin. (SE, GG11)

Orotay
A barely-palateble beverage, orotay found acceptance among the armed forces of the New Republic because it helped them stay alert. Ronks were found to be allergic to it. Following the Battle of Endor, orotay production fell off, and the price began to rise. (XWRS)

Orotoru G'am
This was one of the many floating cities found on the planet Calamari. During the last decades of the Old Republic, a podrace was held that wound through its streets. (GMR10)

Orowood Medcenter
This hospital and medical center was located in Orowood Towers, on the planet Coruscant. The staff was made up of doctors and physicians who were either natives of Alderaan or sympathetic to them. (REC)

Orowood Tower
This large building was built on Coruscant to house survivors of the destruction of Alderaan. It was painstakingly built and crafted to resemble as much of Alderaanian architecture as possible. However, many of the survivors decided that living on Coruscant, close to the Imperial Palace and the memories of Emperor Palpatine, was too emotionally difficult. After the reign of terror of Grand Admiral Thrawn, all the remaining Alderaanians abandoned the Tower, and it became a business center. The Tower itself was 38-levels tall; the third level of the Tower held airspeeder parking pads, and the fourth level held five tapcafes. (SOP)

Or'parguur
This Mandalorian verb meant "to hate" in the Basic language. (OWS)

Orphanmaker
This dual-cockpit assault gunship was originally produced by the Pelagia Duplex Command, during the era of the Great Sith War. These ships were produced to help protect the holdings of the various noble houses of the Tapani Sector. The Orphanmaker was a box-shaped vessel that had three stout wings at the rear of the ship, one at the top and one on each lower corner. The cockpits were mounted at the front of the ship, with one cockpit on the starboard side and another on the port side. The idea was to split the offensive operations of the ship between two co-captains, ensuring that each side of the ship was well-protected in a fight.

There were two weapons modules located on the top of the ship, one at the front between the cockpits and one at the rear. The forward module was capable of rotating up and down, a design modification that accommodated the large laser cannon mounted on its superstructure. The rear module was stationary, allowing the gunner to operate the massive, rear-facing turbolaser. Smaller weapons were mounted to turrets on each of the lower two wings, making the Orphanmaker a formidable ship in combat. Because of this impressive weaponry, and the original plans for the ship, the Orphanmaker was sometimes called a Tapani Murder Machine by other military personnel.

A huge order for a better-armed version of the Orphanmaker was placed by Baron Karoll "The Mad" Cilarnus. Dubbed the Overkill by the designers, this ship never made it to the front lines, because Baron Cilarnus's business was placed into receivership. The prototype was eventually purchased by the Moomo Brothers, who outfitted it for use as the Moomo Williwaw. (KORH, WOTC, KOR9)

Orr, Alijah
This Imperial Customs Officer was one of the most powerful men in the Shesharile System during the height of the New Order. Only the local governor had more power. Orr was in charge of all in-system customs, and had the ability to confiscate and search any ships passing through Shesharile. In order to keep Orr happy, the local businessmen and trade cartels constantly invited him to parties and galas, and showered him with gifts. All of this was amusing to Orr, who was a rigid Imperial officer who believed in the exact letter of the law. This trait kept him from advancing beyond the rank of Captain, for his superiors were looking for men they could bend to their wills. His only known vice was an occasion smoke of tabacc, enjoyed through a carved bantha-bone pipe. Orr sought to advance in his position by wiping out all smuggling in the system, and was focused on capturing Shamus Falconi. This was something that Orr uncharacteristically was unable to do. (SWJ9)

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

Orramas
This luxury space liner made a regular run between Coruscant and several Rim planets, with a stop at Star Station 9, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Abal Karda fled Star Station 9 aboard this ship, disguised as a Duhman, before landing on Maryx Minor. The Captain of the ship told Boba Fett that Karda had demanded to be let off at Maryx Minor, even though the planet wasn't on the ship's regular run. However, a meteor shower knocked out the Orramas' gyro system, and forced the Captain to land for repairs. The nearest world just happened to be Maryx Minor. (EOE)

Orray
This large beast was used as a mount by Geonosian warriors. The average orray resembled a crocodilian reptile which moved about on four tall legs. The orray was once a predator of the Geonosians themselves, rooting out the newly-filled hives and eating the eggs of thousands of larvae. Over the generations, the orrays have been domesticated by the Geonosians. The tails of wild orrays was tipped with a long stinger, which was bobbed in domestic orrays to prevent unnecessary injury. The Geonosians then capped the tail with a metal fitting, to prevent it from regrowing the stinger. (E2N, VD2, SWI63, NEGA, CVD)

Orren, Yotts
This Kadas'sa'Nitko smuggler worked for Jabba the Hutt as a crewman aboard the crimelord's sail barge, on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. While in Jabba's employ, Yotts Orren failed to earnt he trust of virtually every other being working for the Hutt. It was later discovered that Yotts Orren was also stealing parts from the various shipments Jabba received, then selling them on the black market to make himself a tidy profit. Unfortunately, Yotts Orren perished in the explosion that consumed Jabba's sail barge, near the Pit of Carkoon, when Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa rescued Han Solo. (CCG12, SWI98)

Orrimaarko
This Dressellian was the first to be given command of an Alliance Special Forces Unit. He was part of the Alliance team which assembled near Sullust, just prior to the Battle of Endor, to plan the assault on the second Death Star's shield generator. He was frustrated with the fact that the Alliance chose humans for its generals and leaders, especially the choices of Han Solo and Lando Calrissian. Orrimaarko felt that rank should be awarded by experience, not being in the right place at the right time. (GG12, EGA)

Orrineswa River
This river was located on the southern hemisphere of the planet Eriadu, and formed one boundary of Eriadu City. (GORW)

Orriorr

Orrk
This guildmaster from Vandelhelm allowed Mordur to remain hidden in a converted drone barge orbiting the planet. As a guildmaster, Orrk was in control of Vandelhelm's metalsmiths, and was under suspicion by the New Republic. He had agreed to provide the Republic with raw ores and materials for the newly-reclaimed Fondor shipyards, but the delivery of the ores was constantly delayed. Han Solo was sent to Vandelhelm with the young Venerated Ones to pursuade Orrk to mend his ways, but Orrk tried to kidnap them when they arrived. He fell to his death trying to capture the Venerated Ones. (VM, MC98)

Orr-Om
This was one of the twenty orbital cities established by the Duros, after they abandoned their homeworld' surface. It was one of the few which were unshielded, and so it was virtually undefended during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Thus, when the alien invaders attacked Duro, Orr-Om was one of the first to be disabled and destroyed. (BP)

Orroman
This planet was plunged into a water crisis by the actions of the Happy Blasters gang, shortly after the Battle of Endor. (SWJ13)

Orron III
This agricultural world was home to one of the Corporate Sector Authority Data Centers, during the early years of the New Order. Much of the planet's landmass was set aside for agriculture, with well-laid-out plots that formed a patchwork of grains when viewed from orbit. The planet's minimal axial tilt meant that its seasons were quite similar throughout most of its latitudes, making year-round cultivation possible. The CSA had quickly recognized that Orron III's ability to regularly produce foodstuffs had many advantages, and quickly took control of the planet. Because of the presence of the Data Center, only two types of ships were allowed passage to the planet: drone barges for transporting crops off the planet, and Authority fleet ships. During the height of the New Order, Han Solo agreed to pick up Rekkon there, as part of his payment to Jessa for repairs to his ship. In order to get Han onto the planet, Jessa disguised the Millennium Falcon as a grain barge. (HSE)

Orrsa
This friendly Wookiee tended bar at the Swirling Vortex cantina, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (GMR2)

Orrtug

Ors, Jan
An Alliance operative used heavily during the early years of the Galactic Civil War, Jan Ors was a native of the planet Alderaan. She learned to dance from her mother, who worked as a choreographer for Alderaan's premier ballet company. She learned how to work on starships from her father, who was an aerospace engineer. During a mission aboard the Star of Empire, Jan was captured by the Empire when her cover was blown. Imprisoned without hope, she found an ear to bend when she met Kyle Katarn. Realizing Kyle's ambivalence toward the Empire, she cultivated a relationship with him until he agreed to help her escape from the prison. When they finally escaped, Jan Ors met with Mon Mothma and persuaded the Alliance leader to hire Kyle Katarn as a mercenary and commando. It was rumored that Jan exaggerated Kyle's trustworthiness in order to convince the leader of the Alliance of what she truly felt in her heart. Shortly thereafter, Jan was captured by Jabba the Hutt and held as a bargaining chip against the Alliance, until she was again rescued by Kyle Katarn. She became one of the few people Kyle trusted, and was also one of the few people he could count on to help him get out of sticky situations. The relationship between Jan and Kyle continued to grow, and they became a formidable team of agents. They continued to work together during the era of the New Republic, until Kyle went to Yavin 4 to train as a Jedi. Jan continued to work for the Republic, taking a position on the Alpha Blue team and eventually succeeding Hiram Drayson as the team's leader, until she was reunited with Kyle shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was during the invasion that Kyle first asked Jan to marry him, and his initial reasoning caused her to decline the offer. She didn't want to get married because they might die any day. She told Kyle that she would marry him when they were ready to get out of the military and settle down to raise a family. After Kyle disappeared following the Yuuzhan Vong War, Jan spent much of her free time with Jaden Korr, hoping that his bond to the Force could help her locate Kyle. They found him in the Cloak of the Sith, where he had captured by Daye Azur-Jamin. After they managed to free Kyle and restore Daye to the Light Side of the Force, the group learned of a Force-sensitive Yuuzhan Vong female, and set out to locate her. (DF, DF2, SFE, T21, WOTC)

This was one of the Mon Calamari MC80a cruisers operated by the New Republic during the fight against Grand Admiral Thrawn. During an Imperial attack on Filve, the Orthavan took heavy damage when the Republic's ships were trapped by an Interdictor Cruiser. Garm Bel Iblis' was leading the defense, and was nearly forced to abandon the cruiser in order to get the rest of his forces free of the system. Only the sudden appearance of Pash Cracken's A-Wing squadron saved the Orthavan, as the small fighters harrassed the Imperial enough to force them to break off their ambush. (TLC)

Orthellin
This alien race was native to the Binarran Cloud. (DFRSB)

Orthodox Halbara Style
This hairstyle, popular among the rich and influential humanoids of the galaxy during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, used hairsprays and gels to hold two cones of hair straight out from the sides of the head. A tight cap of hair remained close to the skull, with the two cones curving upward and coming to a point. (VD2)

(EOS3)

ORTNS23/917-NAN21
This subdirectory of the Republic Xeonological Database contained a wealth of information on the Neimoidian race. (SON)

Orto
The primary planet in the Orto system, Orto was a cold world orbitting a red dwarf star along a wide, elliptical orbit. Despite its inhospitable environment, Orto was the homeworld of the Ortolan race. Water was plentiful on Orto, but most of it was locked in polar icecaps. The only arable land was located along the planet's equator. However, due to its extreme orbit and thin atmosphere, the growing season in the few temperate areas was limited to 161 of Orto's 589-day year.

When scientists found a huge crated buried under the northern polar ice cap, they built a theory that the planet had been hit eons ago by a large body. This impact caused the planet to undergo numerous ecological and physical changes. Dust from the collision clogged the atmosphere, the impact knocked the planet out of its original orbit, and the force of the impact created a new axial tilt. Thus, Orto was transformed in a short period of time into the inhospitable planet it was today, although its thin atmosphere was rich in oxygen.

The average day on Orto lasted about 24 standard hours, and its year lasted 589 local days. (GG4, NEGA)

Orto, Wyrn
This man represented Galentro Heavy Works at the Pentastar Talks, shortly after the Battle of Endor. While Orto agreed with the necessity of forming the Pentastar Alignment, he worried that Moff Ardus Kaine was using the treaty as an vehicle for gaining personal power. Orto was unswervingly loyal to Galentro, believing that the corporation was his only true family. (SWJ3)

Orto Culinary Academy
This culinary school, based on the planet Orto, produced some of the Old Republic's finest chefs. (HNN5)

Orto Plutonia
This frozen planet was covered by snow-covered rock and ice. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, Orto Plutonia was under the jurisdiction of the Pantoran Assembly. Although the Pantorans was believed that Orto Plutonia was devoid of intelligent life, a colony of Talz had established a home beneath its frozen surface. (CWTV15, CWOC1)

Ortola, Tresk
A student of the Imperial Academy, Tresk and a group of friends jumped ship to join the Alliance. He became known for his bold actions in the midst of battle, and his success rate earned him a swift promotion to Captain. He commanded the NovaFlare prior to the Battle of Endor. Following the fall of the Empire, Ortola continued to serve the New Republic as a Captain, and he commanded a corvette that was assigned to the task force led by General Wedge Antilles that attempted to take over the Maw Installation. During the fighting, Ortola's corvette was temporarily shut down, and one of its engines removed to provide parts for a mission to restore the main reactor facility of the Maw Installation. Thus, when Admiral Daala returned to the Maw with the Gorgon, Ortola's corvette was unable to defend itself. All personnel were evacuated to the Yavaris, and the corvette was abandoned. (COTF, JASB)

Ortolan
This race of furred, elephantine bipeds was native to the planet Orto. Ortolans were easily distinguished by their floppy ears and pudgy fingers and toes, which ended in small suction cups, and they were known for their insatiable appetites.

It was believed that the Ortolans were descended from a nocturnal race of creatures, since they retained many of their original characteristics. Their eyesight was excellent in dim light, but exposure bright light tended to hurt them. Their ears were sensitive to sound waves in a wide range of frequencies, and their noses were filled with tympanic organs that served to increase their sense of hearing.

The normal mode of conversation among the Ortolans was conducted at subsonic levels, with sounds being emitted through their noses. Their noses also contained sensitive olfactory organs, and a small mouth was located beneath the nose.

The fur of an Ortolan had a soft, velvet-like texture, and was normally white or gray in color. This coat of fur covered most of the Ortolan's body, which was protected by a thick hide that gave the Ortolan an obese appearance. Because their normal coloration was considered boring by most younger Ortolans, they used food colorings to alter their fur color, creating Ortolans in all colors of the rainbow.

Infant Ortolans were born almost fully developed, and were raised until the age of seven. At that time, most were thrown out of their parents' homes to fend for themselves, before they could eat a family out of house and home. Most young Ortolans were home-schooled, and a form of exchange program existed in which families shared teaching duties in order to expand their education and share the duties of raising the young.

The average Ortolan was obsessed with food, a fact that many beings believed resulted in the Ortolan's pudgy body shape. However, the importance of food was little more than a reaction to the native environment of Orto, where food was scarce. In order to survive, Ortolans naturally fed whenever possible to build up a layer of blubber that could be used as energy during times of famine or natural hardship.

In the distant past, the planet Orto was struck by a large mass, and evolutionary changes resulted in an Ortolan race that was much smaller than it was in modern times. The Ortolans managed to survive the devastation because they ate very little, while the larger predators starved to death. Over time, their brains continued to develop, and they developed a basic technology and a high level of industrialization. (E6, GG4, SOC, EGA, NEGA)

Ortolan
This was the name given to the native language of the Ortolans. (ANT)

Ortolan Blue Ferment
This form of malt liquor was brewed and fermented by the Ortolan race. (DSTR)

Or'trikar
This Mandalorian word meant "grief" in the Basic language. (OWS)

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

Ortugg
This Gamorrean was the Captain of Jabba the Hutt's personal guard at his palace in the desert of Tatooine. In addition to his duty of guarding the main entrance to the palace, Jabba had assigned Ortugg to key an eye on Tessek. When Luke Skywalker first entered Jabba's palace, Ortugg tried to stop him. Luke used the Force to choke the Gamorrean, holding him at bay until he reached Jabba's audience chamber. In the wake of Jabba's death at the Pit of Carkoon, Ortugg and his soldiers tried to hold Jabba's palace against invasion and break-in. They considered it an honor to hold the palace until Jabba's return, depsite the fact that the crimelord was actually dead. (TJP, CCG7, RESB)

Oru, Arum
A native of moon Antar 4, this Gotal was a noted swoop racer in the Cularin System, during the final years of the Old Republic. Unlike most other racers, Arum Oru was more concerned about consistently finishing events, and less worried about winning just a single event. He usually flew a JR-4 swoop when he raced. (JST3)

Oru uru kak
This command, spoken in the language of the Tusken Raiders, meant "Drop your weapon" when translated into Basic. (GPB)

OrulShai III
This was one of the inhabited moons of the resort world Gyosha. (TBSB)

Oruo'cya, Ceok
This Bothan was the First Secretary of the Combined Clans during the years leading up to the revelation of the Caamas Document. He tried to prevent Leia Organa-Solo from reviewing the Bothans' financial situation, in light of the many problems being hidden by the Bothan banks at the time. Leia was personally unable to view the documents, but Bothan law allowed C-3PO to view them. The primary reason for this was that Leia had sold the droid to Borsk Fey'lya for just such a contingency. Oruo'cya had no choice but to let her see the documents. (SOP)

Or'Ur, Orrh
This Tusken Raider was among a tribe that made repeated raids against the holdings of Gardulla the Hutt, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Gardulla discovered that her own people were unable to locate and capture the tribe, so she issued a bounty for their capture. Jango Fett claimed several of these bounties when he was on Tatooine, trying to gain an audience with Gardulla and Jabba. (BH)

Orus Sector
This area of the galaxy contained the planets Poderis and Berchest. (TLC, RF2)

Orvak
An Imperial Navy Commander assigned to the Shadow Academy, Orvak and Dareb flew in the initial attack on the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. Their mission was to knock out the Jedis' shield generator, and flew in specially-equipped stealth TIE Fighters. Dareb's ship struck the shields and crashed, but Orvak eluded the shields and slipped under the defenses. He planted several proton grenades and managed to destroy the shield generator, allowing the Shadow Academy free access to the Jedi compund. However, during the setting of the grenades, he was bitten by a crystal snake and fell unconscious. He came to just before the grenades went off, and he was killed in the resulting explosions. (JUS)

Orvax IV
This planet was known as a hub of the slave-trading industry during the height of the New Order. The roots of the slave trade went back many decades, and it was here that Nosaurian slaves were shipped in the wake of the Clone Wars. The slave trade on Orvax IV was quite brisk, and individuals of virtually any race could be found on the surface at any one time, provided that they were of some value to their holders. Individuals who were deemed to old or weak to survive were often killed before arrival, usually pushed out of airlocks before their transport ship reached the planet's atmosphere.

A group of hulking, intimidating T'surr guards and soldiers helped to protect the interests of the slavers, ensuring that no slaves escaped or were set free. (SWI67, DT1)

Orveth
This gas was one of the most common gases used for blasters. (CFG, GG2)

Orvos
This ancient Nelvaanian served as the shaman of the Rokrul villages, on his homeworld of Nelvaan, during the final decades of the Old Republic. It was Orvos who foresaw that Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi would arrive on Nelvaan to assist the Nelvaanians in removing the Separatists who had arrived on the planet. (SWDB, CWC3)

Orvum Stadium
Located on the planet Coruscant, this vast arena had seating for hundreds of thousands of individual beings. It was noted for the fact that each seat in the stadium could be configured to the specific needs of hundreds of species. (CN2)

Orycat
A vicious, predatory feline native to the planet Orryxia. They hunted in packs. (TBSB)

Orychee
This was a common name among the Myneyrsh race. (UANT)

Oryn Engineering
This weapons manufacturer was known for producing the first RAGOC missile system. (HAS)

Oryon
This Bothan was known as one of the Old Republic's best spies, during the era of the Clone Wars. Because of the knowledge he maintained against the Separatists as well as the Republic, Oryon found himself targetted by the Enemy Eradication Order of Coruscant, after Chancellor Palpatine named himself Emperor and instituted the New Order. Rather than submitting to Imperial domination, Oryon eliminated all records of his existence and joined the Erased. Like many of his fellow Erased, Oryon wanted to locate Solace and find peace, so he was more than willing to accompany Ferus Olin and Trever Flume on their search. After locating the Solace and identifying her as the former Jedi Fy-Tor-Ana, Ferus and Trever set out to return to the surface and prevent Inquisitor Malorum from locating them.

Oryon and the other members of the Erased remained behind in the underground settlement, but found themselves under attack by the agents sent by Malorum. Oryon was later found among the rubble by Trever, and the two of them managed to destroy the platform on which Malorum's forces were standing. This allowed them to locate Keets Freely, and together they found Solace. After escaping from Coruscant, they set off to free Ferus from the Dontamo Prison. When Ferus was captured by Emperor Palpatine and sent to Samaria, Oryon and Trever accompanied Solace on a mission to rescue Roan Lands and Dona Telamark from the True Justice.

The group then traveled to Ferus Olin's hidden asteroid base, where they hoped to make the asteroid a haven for any Jedi who had survived Order 66. Unfortunately, their efforts proved for naught, as Darth Vader already had learned of the location of the asteroid base from General Toma and Eve Yarrow, who was masquerading as the freedom fighter known as Flame. He had also rigged Eve Yarrow's starship to explode, stranding Oryon on the asteroid with Ry-Gaul, Solace, Garen Muln, and Lune Oddo. When Vader's Star Destroyer appeared in the asteroid field, the three former Jedi agreed to send Lune away from the asteroid in an escape pod, then set out to defend the asteroid against insurmountable odds. Vader wasted no time in firing on the asteroid, tearing it apart in a single, devastating blast that killed everyone still on its surface. Oryon was believed to have been among the many resistance members who died in the explosion. (LJ3, LJ4, LJ5, LJ10)

Oryyka Howler
This was a species of arboreal creatures which were native to the planet Kashyyyk. They were known to be vengeful creatures, and often followed Wookiee hunters who had violated their territories. Their loud cries only served to scatter the Wookiees' prey, then the oryyka howlers fled back into their trees. (AFA)

Orzee, Kaje
This man served the Imperial armed forces, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Or'Zee, Kaja
This woman served as the administrator of Emperor Palpatine's personal retreat on Naboo, during the height of the New Order. She was extremely loyal to Palpatine, having grown up during the Clone Wars and developing the opinion that Palpatine's policies were infallible. She was later named Head Chamberlain of the Emperor's Retreat, serving as the retreat's first line of defense. (SWI65, SWGAL)

OS-301
OS was short for Orbital Spaceyard, and OS-301 was located near Commenor. Shortly after the New Republic established a base on Folor, Apwar Trigit leased OS-301 for repairs to the Implacable. (WS)

OS-72-10
This was the serial number of the Imperial pilot who flew Obsidian 10. He was a combat veteran who served aboard the Conquest, Thunderflare, and Executor. He had passed up several promotions and increases in rank, in order to maintain his status as an active pilot. (CCG9)

OS-72-8
This was the designation of one of the TIE Fighters dispatched by Admiral Piett to pursue the Millennium Falcon when it escaped from Cloud City, just after the Battle of Hoth. (TCG6)

Osaji Hux
This was one of Osaji Shimka's three triplet heirs, all of whom inherited an equal share of the Osaji Syndicate when their father was assassinated on Axum some three years before the Battle of Hoth. As part of their inheritance, each sibling received a pendant made of green stone, to identify them as members of the family. Osaji Hux was considered a recluse who only communicated through his brother, Osaji Uhares. However, many beings considered Osaji Hux to be the true boss of the Syndicate, once Osaji Shimka was dead. In order to protect her interests, Osaji Hux moved her base of operations to the remote world of Muskree. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, all three siblings found themselves the objects of unwanted attention. They were all wanted for questioning by the Imperial authorities, and they were targetted for assassination by an unknown source. After the deaths of her brothers, Osaji Hux revealed to the freelance mercenaries that she had been the being who hired them, as a way to eliminate any contention for control of the Osaji Syndicate. As she was about to kill the mercenaries, the Imperials who had been tracking her arrived on Muskreee. A firefight broke out, and Osaji Hux found herself alone after her bodyguards fled at the sight of Imperial stormtroopers. However, in the resulting confusion, Osaji Hux managed to escape from Muskree and was not heard from again. (WOA32)

Osaji Shimka
This man was the patriarch of the Osaji Syndicate during the height of the New Order. Some three years before the Battle of Hoth, he was assassinated on Axum, and control of the Syndicate fell to his fraternal triplets, Osaji Varane, Osaji Uhares, and Osaji Hux. (WOA32)

Osaji Syndicate
This family owned and operated organization made an honest living by offering cut-rate shipping along the Perlemian Trade Route during the height of the New Order. However, their more lucrative business revolved around smuggling and gun-running. Three years after the death of clan patriarch Osaji Shimka, a group of mercenaries was hired to assassinate his three heirs. Osaji Varan, Osaji Uhares, and Osaji Hux were natural-born triplets, and each had inherited an equal share of the Syndicate. (WOA32)

Osaji Uhares
This was one of Osaji Shimka's three triplet heirs, all of whom inherited an equal share of the Osaji Syndicate when their father was assassinated on Axum some three years before the Battle of Hoth. As part of their inheritance, each sibling received a pendant made of green stone, to identify them as members of the family. A former droid researcher and engineer, Osaji Uhares assumed control of the Syndicate's illegal operations after the death of his father, prefering to keep a low profile from a base of operations on Centares. He was distinguished by the cybernetic hand which he had modified with a double-tool mount as well as a weapon mount. His compund was located on the shores of Rubyflame Lake, and were protected by the various combat droids he had repaired over the years. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, all three brothers found themselves the objects of unwanted attention. They were all wanted for questioning by the Imperial authorities, and they were targetted for assassination by an unknown source. After Osaji Varanes was assassinated on Tirahnn, his assistant Harn provided the freelance mercenaries with information on Osaji Uhares' location. Despite his many defense systems, Osaji Uhares was eventually caught by the mercenaries and eliminated. One of his many couriers, a street urchin named Fijil, gave the mercenaries information on the whereabouts of the one surviving sibling, Osaji Hux. However, upon reaching Muskree and locating Osaji Hux, the mercenaries discovered that they had actually been hired by Osaji Hux herself, who simply wanted to eliminate and contention for control of the Osaji Syndicate. (WOA32)

Osaji Varanes
This was one of Osaji Shimka's three triplet heirs, all of whom inherited an equal share of the Osaji Syndicate when their father was assassinated on Axum some three years before the Battle of Hoth. As part of their inheritance, each sibling received a pendant made of green stone, to identify them as members of the family. It was rumored that Osaji Varanes had been a sniper in the Imperial Army before "retiring" to help run the family business. He spent much of his time on the planet Tirahnn, where he had established a thriving import-export business that served as the center of the Osaji Syndicate's legitimate operations. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, all three brothers found themselves the objects of unwanted attention. They were all wanted for questioning by the Imperial authorities, and they were targetted for assassination by an unknown source. Whether good or bad, the freelance mercenaries were the first party to apprehend Oasji Varanes, eliminating him and capturing his assistant, Harn, who gave up information on the location of Osaji Uhares in exchange for his own life. Later, upon reaching Muskree and locating Osaji Hux, the mercenaries discovered that they had actually been hired by Osaji Hux herself, who simply wanted to eliminate and contention for control of the Osaji Syndicate. (WOA32)

Osa-Prime
This was the capital city of the planet Osarian. Nom Anor launched a missile strike against the city, when Rhommamool and Osarian were at their orbital closest, in an effort to engage them in a civil war that would draw the attention of the New Republic away from the Yuuzhan Vong base on Helska and the start of their invasion. Much of the city was destroyed before Commander Ackdool and the Mediator could react to the launch, much to the consternation of the Osarians. (VP)

Osarian
This planet orbitted its star in an ellipse that brought it very close to Rhommamool every ten years. Like Rhommamool, Osarian was not a technologically-advanced world when it petitioned the New Republic to mediate a centuries-old feud which had been refueled by Nom Anor. The feud sprang from the fact that Osarian was a pleasant, temperate world, while Rhommamool was a desolate place originally colonized by criminals sentenced to work in the mines. The Osarians who settled on the planet were more or less the wardens and caretakers of the mining colonists of Rhommamool, a kind of master-slave relationship that wore relations between the two planets quite thin. Neither planet had developed the ability to travel through space, and the Osarians employed a mercenary band of Rodians to protect themselves from Rhommamool. Just before Nom Anor fled the system in order to join the Yuuzhan Vong attack force, he launched a series of missiles at Osa-Prime, leaving the city in ruins and sparking a full-scale war between the two planet.

In the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, a sizable population of Osarians emigrated to Coruscant. (VP, LF5)

Osarian
This was the name of the native race of the planet Osarian. Osarians were known for their preference for strongly-scented herbs, which were used extensively in their cooking and many of their beverages. A large population of Osarians emigrated to Coruscant, in the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. (VP, LF5)

Osarian First-Force
This was the name used by Grappa's mercenary force, during their period of employment as protectors of the planet Osarian. (VP)

Osarian Quarter
This section of the cityscape of Coruscant was named for the large Osarian population that settled there, in the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. (LF5)

Osarian Tapcaf
This was one of the many cantinas that were located in the Osarian Quarter of Coruscant, during the years following the Swarm War. (LF5)

Oscillation Overthemister
This Nubian starship component was considered one of the most ornate pieces of technology ever produced. This belief was only heightened after the people of Naboo contracted the Nubian shipyards to handcraft starships for the planet's royalty, and Naboo aesthetics were combined with Nubian grace. (CVD)

Osck, Dugtroy
This being was a noted smuggler and criminal who was captured by Imperial forces when Boffitt Einer provided the Imperials with information on his whereabouts. Osck went by a number of self-important aliases, such as Dugtroy the Header and Dugtroy the Cruel. Einer, who was working with Osck at the time, then stole the spice shipment they were carrying and made off on his own. Despite being imprisoned aboard the barge Purge, Osck had the last laugh, knowing that the spice shipment Einer had stolen belonged to a powerful Hutt crime organization. (OWS)

Oscum
This small port town, located on the moon Pinett, was the site of one of the moon's two spaceports. (WOA25)

Oscuro, Scri
This man was the High Priest of the Zealots of Psusan, during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. However, several former members of the cult put a bounty on his head, after it was learned that Oscuro was using the relgious as a front for more illegal activities. Oscuro was eventually captured by Kalyn Farnmir and Cian Shee. From prison, Oscuro made contact with his congregation and set out to exact revenge. His agents were able to bribe Shee with credits, in exchange for information on Farnmir's whereabouts. Oscuro's plans for revenge fell through, however, as Shee was unable to keep Farnmir from escaping an elaborate trap on Coruscant. (SWDB)

OSD-III
This was the designation of an Kuat Drive Yards spacedock produced during the height of the New Order. Measuring 1,600 meters across, this station required a crew of 5,500 officers and 64 gunners, and could accommodate up to 500 passengers. Armed with eight turret-mounted turbolaser batteries, the OSD-III was designed as an orbital starship construction and repair facility. (FBS)

Osentay, Ryk
This man was a reporter for the Eye on Cularin news program, during the height of the Clone Wars. It was rumored that he was once a podracing announcer who reported on race status from the pits. He was supposedly beaten to a pulp during a live broadcast when he dropped a microphone into the engineof Sebulba's racer. After joining the Cularin Central Broadcasting team, he was among the first reporters to bring to light the meaning of the TINYF graffiti that began to show up on the buildings of Cularin's cities. It was his report that dubbed the graffiti "Tiny F", a phrase which quickly gained popularity. In a follow-on interview with an undisclosed source, Osentay exposed the connection between the Thaereian Military and the InterGalactic Banking Clan, and opened up a dialogue on the widespread corruption throughout Cularin's businesses and government. His source was revealed to be Gerta Haman, who was brutally subdued by Thaereian military police. Ryk, undaunted, later reported on Gerta's death near Thaere. His investigative work later took him to Tolea Biqua, to report on the legacy of Riboga. None of the beings he approached wanted to talk to him, and he was unaware that the CCB turned his interviews into a sort of comedy show. During one attempt to interview an Ugnaught, Ryk was badly beaten by the short-statured being, while his camerabeing recorded the entire incident. This footage was later used when Ryk returned to active duty - still recovering from surgery and rehabilitation - as part of the lead-in to his interview with Brin Hesk'l. (LFCW)

Oseon
This was primary star in the Oseon System, which was orbited by seven distinct bands of asteroids rather than solid planets. (LCM)

Oseon, Gadfrey
This legendary crimelord operated a traveling circus that served as a front for his illicit operations. Legend says he got into trouble during a performance on Nal Hutta, and fled to the most remote area of space he could find. There, he discovered a star system made up of seven belts of asteroids and no solid planets, which eventually came to be known as the Oseon System. He was forced to remain in the system because of the occurrence of the Flamewind, and he began dreaming of using the wondrous natural event as a tourist attraction. (GMR5)

Oseon 2795
One of the thousands of small asteroids in the Oseon system, Oseon 2795 was one of the closer asteroids to the star Oseon. It was therefore very hot, and its life support systems and its air coolers had to be meticulously maintained. Its primary commerce was centered around a mining operation, rather than the usual pleasure specialties of other planetoids in the system. Lando Calrissian stopped there shortly after winning the Millennium Falcon in a sabacc match, due mainly to his poor navigational skills. He had been trying to reach the Dela system. (LCM)

Oseon 5631
This asteroid, located in the famous Oseon System, was the site of the most impressive personal estate in the area. Owned by Ema Slake, the facilities on 5631 surpassed even those of Bohhuah Mutdah's residence on Oseon 5792. (GMR5)

Oseon 5792
This asteroid was owned by Bohhuah Mutdah, during the early years of the New Order. Oseon 5792 had been specially modified to Mutdah's needs. The disk-shaped asteroid, which measured fifteen kilometers at its widest and three kilometers at its smallest, was covered with a domed version of paradise. Multiple transparent covers housed living spaces and vast gardens. The underside of the asteroid was built up to form a vast spaceport which was heavily armed and guarded. The gravity on the asteroid had to be specially modified to allow Mutdah to move his vast bulk with as little effort as possible. The asteroid itself was destroyed just after Rokur Gepta killed Butdah and took his place, in an effort to kill Lando Calrissian. Lando managed to escape, but was beseiged by Klyn Shanga's fighters during his flight. One of the fighters took a hit from the Millennium Falcon's guns and crashed into one of the top-side domes, breeching it and setting off a destructive chain reaction in the asteroid's systems. In no time, Oseon 5792 exploded, causing shockwaves throughout the Fifth Belt and its immediate neighbors. (LCF)

Oseon 6845
The largest asteroid in the Oseon system, Oseon 6845 was also one of the most luxurious of all the Oseon asteroids. Located within the sixth asteroid belt in the system, it was home to the famous Esplanade. When Lando Calrissian left the Rafa System with what was the last cargo of life crystals ever exported, during the early years of the New Order, he returned to the Oseon System - and Oseon 6845 in particular - to try and win some big money. He had found that the vast wealth he obtained from the life crystals quickly got sucked away in maintaining his new starship, the Millennium Falcon. Oseon 6845 had been artificially accelerated to reduce its daily cycle to 25 hours, closer to the galactic standard. (LCF, GMR5)

Oseon 8920
One of the many asteroids located in the Oseon System, 8920 was considered by many to be a miniature version of Nar Shaddaa. Criminals of all shapes and sizes hid from other criminals on the asteroid, which was one targeted for destruction by the Oseoni police force. However, the denizens of 8920 proved to be too great a source of information to eliminate. (GMR5)

Oseon Brandy
This delicious brandy was produced in the Oseon System. (LCM)

Oseon Peacekeepers
This was the primary law enforcement agency that protected the Oseon System, during the early years of the New Order. (LCF)

Oseon Resort
This was the name used to describe the sprawling collection of lavish hotels and casinos that was located near the primary spaceport on the planet Oseon VII. The main thoroughfare within the Oseon Resort was known as the Ribbon, and the buildings that lined it were modeled after some of the galaxy's most wonderful architectural achievements. The Resort was owned and operated by PlanetDreams, Incorporated, during the years following the Alliance-Confederation War. Run by Cix Trouvee and his three children, the Oseon Resort prided itself on making its buildings and attractions as realistic and authentic as possible. (MF)

Oseon System
A system of seven bands of asteroids orbiting the star Oseon, the Oseon System was located in the region of the galaxy known as the Centrality. Note that Millennium Falcon indicates that the Centrality was located in the Corporate Sector. The Oseon System was named for Gadfrey Oseon, who first discovered its unusual collection of asteroid belts. Unlike most other star systems, the Oseon lacked any planets, being encircled only by the seven asteroid belts. Note that Millennium Falcon indicates that there was at least one planet, Oseon VII, found in the system. No one knew how the Oseon System had been formed, although many theories pointed to a rogue star passing through the system more than a billion years before the Galactic Civil War and reducing its seven planets to rubble. Those asteroids that were inhabited were primarily vacation sites and pleasure spots for the filthy rich of the galaxy. The Oseon System was also the home to a huge population of mynocks, and any ships travelling through the system were well-advised to protect their ships from the parasites. Oseon, the system's primary star, flared up annually in a spectacular display known as the Flamewind, which prohibited traffic and communications for several days. A major influx of tourists was always seen just before the Flamewind, providing even more income to the already wealthy system. The asteroids within the system were numbered with four-digit names. The first number represented which band the asteroid was in; the other three were just counters that seemed to indicate the order in which the asteroids were settled. (LCM, LCF, GMR5, MF)

Oseon Tower
This massive structure served as the corporate headquarters for PlanetDreams, Incorporated, during the years following the Alliance-Confederation War. Located on the planet Oseon VII, and standing more than a kilometer in height, the Oseon Tower overlooked the planet's primary spaceport, as well as the mountain ranges that surrounded the Oseon Resort. (MF)

Oseon VII
This was one of the planets found in the Oseon System. For many centuries after Gadrey Oseon discovered the system, Oseon VII served as the primary starting point for any beings who wished to explore the seven asteroid belts that orbited the star Oseon. Over time, it evolved into something of a gambling center. The Trouvee family owned a gambling facility on Oseon VII, during the years following the Alliance-Confederation War. It was during this time that Oseon VII experienced an marked increase in tourism, especially from the galaxy's rich and wealthy beings. The buildings that surrounded the primary spaceport - and even the spaceport itself - were lavishly built and decorated, exceptionally clean, and spacious enough to hold the largest of visitors. The major casinos were found along the thoroughfare known as the Ribbon, which wound through the Oseon Resort. The beings who chose to live and work on Oseon VII were noted for their natural good looks, although most of them kept their youth through rejuvenation and surgical procedures. Note that other sources indicate that the Oseon System was devoid of entire planets, but was instead filled with seven asteroid belts. (MF)

Oseoni
This was the term used to describe any native of the Oseon system. (LCF)

OSETS 2711
OSETS stands for Orbtal Solar Energy Transfer Satellite, which was one of the many solar heat collectors used to focus sunlight onto the surface of Coruscant. These collectors provide heat to the moderately cold world, and also serve to melt the polar icecaps for water. OSETS 2711 was commandeered by Rogue Sqaudron and Winter, as part of their last-minute plans to knock out the planet's shields in preparation for a New Republic assault. They caused OSETS 2711 to heat a water resevoir to boiling, creating a huge series of thunderstorms that knocked out the planet's computer systems, bringing the shields down. OSETS 2711 was under the command of Virar Needa at the time. (WG)

Osh
The meaning of this archaic Zabrak surname was lost over time. (GCG)

Oshay

This large, oceanic mammal was native to the planet Mon Calamari, and was known for its loyalty and devotion. (GCG)

Osi
This was the Krikthasi word for the leader of a given territory. Each osi was the most powerful warrior of the territory, which was known as a junieuw. (AE)

Osia
This man was a member of the Believers, and was one of the handful who infiltrated the Metatheran Cartel's secret base on Tilnes, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, to unleash a deadly virus that would kill the Caarites who were working in the base. Unfortunately, a few of the Caarites managed to survive the virus, and became hulking monstrosities that had an insatiable desire to feed on reshly-dead bodies. Osia and Aris were the only two Believers to survive an attack by the mutated Caarites, and were forced to battle a group of freelance agents to ensure that the existence of the virus remained a secret. When the fighting turned against them, Osia and Aris fled into the tunnels, in an effort to avoid capture. It was unknown if they were able to escape before being overcome by the virus. (MCT1)

Osik
This Mandalorian swear word described dung or excrement, and was rarely used in polite conversation. (OWS, RC66)

Osik Ocean
This was a term used by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe the central waste treatment plant found in the Gimmut sector of Galactic City, on the planet Coruscant. Many other races living on Coruscant had a similar nickname for the facility. (RC66)

Osik'la
This Mandalorian adjective meant "screwed up" or "horrible" in the Basic language, and was rarely used in polite conversation. (OWS, RCTZ)

Osi'kyr
This Mandalorian word was a strong exclamation of surprise or dismay, depending on the context in which it was used. (OWS)

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

O-Siri
This was the name given to Siri Tachi during her imprisonment in the Learning Circle on Kegan. (FFT)

Osirrag
The primary planet in the Osirrag System, this forested world could have a flourishing tourist trade if it wasn't located so far from the trade routes that wander through the Elrood Sector. The seasons were calm, and only add to the beauty of the terrain. It was said that a race of sentient creatures lives in the air currents of the planet. Rumors tell of a young boy who sought them out, and learned to communicate with them in their own language of whistles. They developed a lasting relationship, with the boy growing up to become their protector. In return, the creatures extended his lifespan. (PG3)

Osi'yaim
This Mandalorian word was used to describe any useless, despicable person. (OWS)

Osk
This was the fifteenth Aurebesh symbol, which stood for the Basic letter "o". (IR, SWM)

Oskan Blood Eater
This horrific creature had a huge, sucker-like mouth and large, slashing claw-like arms. They also have an insatiable appetite. Jabba the Hutt once had one of these beasts as a pet in his Tatooine palace. These creatures have only rudimentary sensory systems, but were extremely stubborn and will track their prey for several weeks. Quite often, the simple sight of a humanoid creature will send the Oskan blood eater into a feeding frenzy. Many xenoarchaeologists and xenobiologists believe that the Oskan Blood Eater was artifically developed at some point in the past, pointing to the lack of mythological or historical data from the civilizations of the planets on which they live. The Empire distributed propaganda that these creatures were created by the Old Republic, in an effort to hide the truth: the Oskan Blood Eaters were the result of a secret Imperial project. (THG, SSR, OE, COG)

Osk'y
This Old Corellian term literallt translated as "enemy" or "rival." In the sport of phrenbi, a variation had two teams paired together as rivals, and each team was referred to as an osk'y. (BSS)

Oslet
This timid, herbivorous creature lived in the jungles of Joralla. The average specimen stood nearly three meters tall, and three sections to its body. Each section had a pair of limbs, and the limbs were highly dextrous. These creatures could move equally well on land in the trees. The Tikiarri which were native to Joralla used these creatures as mounts. Their necks were extremely flexible, giving the oslet the ability to turn its head a full 360 degrees. (PG1)

Oslumpex V
This planet was the base of operations for Starshipwrights and Aerospace Engineers Incorporated. (HSR)

Osma Bag
This small, leather pouch was made by the shamen of the Ibhaan'I tribe on Socorro. It was filled with a pinch of blessed Socorran sand and a collection of odd trinkets which would have meaning to the intended owner. The trinkets would help define the owner's life-destiny path, and those Socorrans who owned them were filled with stories of their contents. (BSS)

Osman
This Chevin humanoid was Durga the Hutt's majordomo. (RD)

Osmani System
A beggar in Mos Eisley once told Bossk that he had encountered the bounty hunter in this system, when the Trandoshan captured an individual from one of his shuttles. Bossk later killed the beggar for being too nosy about his business. (HM)

Osmotic Field
This form of portal shielding was used to maintain a certain level of atmospheric conditions within a room or building. When placed at a doorway or other entrance, the osmotic field could be tuned allow air but not particulate matter - including insects and larger creatures - pass through it into the room. More advanced models also had entropic overlays that pulled energy from the incoming air, thereby cooling it and dropping the temperature within the room. Despite the tuning that could be done with osmotic field, it was virtually harmless to most sentient races, which could push through the field to enter the room with minimal effort. (MBS)

Osmotic Veil
This form of mask was developed for use in operating rooms and hospitals, where the risk of airborne contagions was high. When drawn over the face, the osmotic veil allowed air molecules to pass through, but kept larger particles and most biological bodies from entering. (MBS)

Osossi
Meaning "spicy" or "hot", this name was common among Gungan females. (GCG)

Osprey
This Imperial Nebulon-B2 modified frigate was part of the Empire's star fleet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. In the months that followed the Battle of Hoth, the Osprey was ordered to assist a mission on which Maarek Stele was supoosed to clear away a minefield that surrounded an Alliance cargo depot. However, in addition to lending assistance, the Captain of the Osprey was under orders from Admiral Harkov to make sure that Stele did not survive the mission. Stele was ordered to break off in the midst of a dogfight and inspect the Alliance shuttle Lambda, but he managed to complete the mission and return to the Osprey. Later, the Osprey assisted the Harpax in capturing Admiral Harkov's fleet, before Darth Vader took command of the frigate in order to make an emergency run to Coruscant to prevent Admiral Zaarin from overthrowing the Emperor. (TIE, TIEP)

Oss
This was the Ewokese word for "but." (GPB)

Ossan
A dim-witted, child-like race which inhabits the planet Ossel II, the Ossan were a humanoid race whose primary weapons were clubs and spears. They were the favorite food of the predatory cucul. The average Ossan stands just under two meters tall, and had a rodent-like face with a conical snout that ends in a single nostril. They were a heavy-set people, with huge torsoes supported by short, stocky legs. Their arms were gangly compared to the rest of their body, and their strength was surprising for such a docile-seeming people. The Ossan also harvested the syp wood, and trade it to off-worlders for passage. House Vandron used enslaved Ossan to run their Karfeddion slave-breeding farms. (GG4, COJ, SWJ3)

Ossberry
The fruit of this plant was sweet and flavorful, and was used to ferment a non-alcoholic form of ale that was popular with children during the era of the New Republic. Dried ossberries were a common side dish that was often served with kebroot stew. (DIV, DOG)

Ossberry Ale
This blue-colored, effervescent beverage was favored by the youth of the galaxy, during the height of the New Republic. (DIV)

Ossel II
This planet, noted for its strong gravitational force, was located in the Outer Rim. Much of its surface was covered with steaming bogs. It was the homeworld of the Ossan race, and was known for its syp trees, which produced beautiful wood. The atmosphere of Ossell II was brownish-green in color, due to high concentrations of sulfur and chlorine. (GG4, COJ, SWJ10)

Osseriton
This was the only habitable planet, and sole world, found in the Osseriton System. The Hemes Arbora people migrated to Osseriton after leaving their homeworld of Carrivar. The planet was located in the Unknown Regions. (FH2)

Ossic Architecture
This was the name given to the Utapaun archictectural style that employed the use of processed bones and skeletons from Utapau's massive creatures in the construction of buildings and facilities. The bones and fossils of land and sea creatures were used for all manner of facades and load-bearing construction beams, after they were seasoned and tested for structural stability. (SWCL)

Ossiki Confederacy Army
This was one of the primary military groups from the planet Toydaria. One of several such armies which protected individual cities and clans, the Ossiki Confederacy Army was a regular participant in the seasonal wars fought among the Toydarians. They were known, or perhaps infamous, for their use of chemical weapons which destroyed the food stocks of their rivals. A former leader once declared, "If we can't have it, no one can." (SWDB, NEGC)

Ossilege, Hortel
The Bakuran Admiral, in charge of the Bakuran Navy, about the time of the Corellian uprisings. He was a small, slightly-built man with a bald, pink head highlighted by huge, bushy eyebrows and a sharp goatee beard. He had a quick intellect, and a suspicious nature. He was mortally wounded aboard the Intruder when the ship was rammed by three Saccorian droneships. He sustained a grievous wound to the stomach, but stayed in command long enough for Admiral Ackbar to arrive. Then, he detonated the Intruder in the midst of the Saccorian fleet. (AS, SC)

Osskorn Stout
This dark, foamy ale was popular in cantinas on Borgo Prime, during the early years of the New Republic. (DOG)

Osskum Ale
This was a type of alcoholic beverage. (ROM)

Osso, Easulo
This was a noted individual in the history of the Murachaun race. (GORW)

Ossorus
This beautiful, underwater city was seat of the gods who created all life on Naboo, according to Gungan legend. The city, where Oma-Oma held sway, was supposed to be protected by enhcanted sando aqua monsters and giant Gungan warriors astride their kaadus. (GB)

Osss-10
Hailed as the "new breed" of bounty hunter after the dissolution of the True Guild and the Guild Reform Committee, this individual was equipped with state-of-the-art hardware. Many believed that Osss-10 had corporate or other forms of sponsorship, in order to afford the equipment he used. However, Osss-10 was outsmarted by Boba Fett, who was piloting N'dru Suhlak's Z-95 Headhunter, during Fett's search for the load shifter droid owned by Kuat of Kuat. (HM)

Ossune
This name was common among the Kerestian people. (UANT)

Ossus
The third planet in the Adega system, Ossus was home to the site of an ancient Jedi stronghold and training center thousands of years before the Freedon Nadd Uprisings and the Great Sith War. Many historians believe that the Jedi Order originated on Ossus, but this was only conjecture. The planet's atmosphere was laced with electrical storms, probably resulting from the near-devastation it suffered during the Clone Wars. It orbited each of the stars Adega Prime and Adega Besh in an unusual figure-eight orbit, while the other planets in the system had elliptical orbits around both stars. Following the Freedon Nadd Uprisings on Onderon, Jedi Master Arca planned to send the ancient Sith artifacts recovered from Freedon Nadd's ship there for examination, but Exar Kun was able to retrieve them first. In the chaos surrounding the Great Sith War, Aleema Keto and Crado destroyed the Cron System, located near the Adega System. Ossus was caught in the wave of destruction radiating from the supernova. The Jedi attempted to transport the artifacts and lore from the libraries there, but were only able to take a fraction of the wealth stored there over the millennia. In an attempt to preserve a cache of lightsabers, Master Ood Bnar initiated his lifecycle change, becoming a gnarled old tree with the lightsabers engtangled in his roots. He was nearly destroyed by the radiation from the Cron System. Over the ages, great cities grew out of the planet's rough, irradiated terrain. In modern times, the planet was nearly wiped out during the Clone Wars. The enemies of the Jedi Knights struck there, attempting to destroy the stronghold and root out the Jedi. Although the planet was devastated, the Jedi survived. Later, following the death of Emperor Palpatine's first clone on Byss, Luke Skywalker and Kam Solusar discover the planet's ancient Jedi connection, and were directed there by Master Vodo's holocron just before Sedriss executed Operation Shadow Hand. There, they found the Ysanna tribe and the ancient Jedi Master Ood Bnar. In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Master Skywalker chose to establish a new Jedi training academy on Ossus. The new academy flourished for many years, but in the decades after Master Skywalker's death, the planet's ecosystem slowly deteriorated into a barren wasteland. About a century after the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong came to an end, Jedi Master Kol Skywalker suggested the Ossus Project. The project allowed Yuuzhan Vong Shapers to reform a portion of the planet, in an effort to restore its environment. Although the project was successful on Ossus, sabotage kept it from working on other planets. This led to the Sith-Imperial War and the severing of ties between the Jedi Order and the Galactic Alliance. The Jedi retreated to Ossus, but were pursued by the new Sith Lords. In a devastating attack that became known as the Massacre at Ossus, the Sith nearly wiped out the entire Jedi Order, destroying much of the planet's surface during their attacks. (FNU, DLS, TSW, DE1, DE2, SWJ15, ECH, GORW, DN1, SWLB)

Ossus Day
This Alliance Mon Calamari MC80a cruiser was operative during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. It was named in honor of the Old Republic practice of pausing to remember and reflect upon the planet Ossus and its wonders, before the planet was destroyed during the Great Sith War. The Ossus Day was on a routine patrol when it intercepted a distress call from the Alliance supply platform Cyrlus, which was under attack by Imperial forces. Although the Ossus Day managed to reach the station, it was unprepared for the size of the Imperial forces gathered there. Before it could escape, the Ossus Day destroyed. (TIE, GORW, TIEP)

Ossus Day
Although not officially recognized as a holiday, this date was set aside by the Old Republic as a time for reflection and remembrance, after the planet Ossus was destroyed during the Great Sith War. Ossus Day was not observed on a regular basis, at least in terms of the Coruscant calendar. Instead, it was observed based on the seasonal time at which both of Ossus' moons aligned themselves with respect to a pair of obelisks that were once found in the city of Knossa. (GORW)

Ossus Project
This was a project that was championed by Jedi Master Kol Skywalker, more than a century after the Battle of Endor, in which a group of Yuuzhan Vong Shapers were allowed to reform a portion of the planet Ossus. The planet had become a barren wasteland in the decades after the death of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, and the Ossus Project was developed to restore the planet to life. The Ossus Project proved to be exceptionally successful, prompting a number of planetary and system governments to petition for similar terraforming on their own planets. Some 100 planets were chosen for reformation, although the success on Ossus could not be reproduced elsewhere. Strange things began to happen on these other worlds, including the appearance of bony growths on the skin of inhabitants. The resulting furor over the cause of these problems resulted in the Imperial Moffs banding together under the Treaty of Anaxes and declaring war against the rest of the galaxy. (SWLB)

Ossyth
This was a common name among Quarren females. It referred to a gemstone found in the depths of Mon Calamari's oceans. (GCG)

Ossyth
This gemstone was found in the deeper parts of the oceans that covered Mon Calamari. (GCG)

Ost, Crymsin
This woman was one of the many Dark Jedi that joined the Believers, during the final years of the Old Republic. She was distinguished by her unusual lightsaber, which emitted a beam of pinkish light that was shot through with deep red flashes. Crymsin was assigned to work with Eph and Disch'l in assisting Melo Centris to deploy the Caarite-killing virus the Believers had developed, with the goal of spreading the deadly virus into the atmosphere of Caarimon itself. The group was trapped aboard the Creautaa-V space station in orbit over the Desolation by a group of freelance agents who had been hired by the Cularin Militia to thwart their mission. The Believers were ultimately captured and held for questioning about the attempted genocide, although they refused to answer any of the questions. Instead, Crymsin and her companions simply clicked their teeth. It was later discovered that this clicking activated a subdermal poison capsule hidden in their Believer tattoos, killing them before they could be coerced into revealing any more information. (MCT3)

ostenmustdie
This was the userid of a computer hacker who participated in various discussions on the Cularin node of the HoloNet, during the height of the Clone Wars. It was ostenmustdie who called for the arrest and execution of Osten Dal'Nay, after a message appeared on the 'Net describing the killing of Commander Kulkis. Ostenmustdie claimed that Dal'Nay was trying to cover up a deeper motive by posting the account of Kulkis' death, hoping to be proclaimed a heroic son of Cularin while secretly carrying out some evil plan. (LFCW)

Ostfrei
This moon, the third in orbit around Genarius, was the orbital counterpart to Ulbasca. Where Ulbasca was constantly bathed with light, Ostfrei was locked in perpetual darkness as it orbited within Genarius' shadow for most of its rotational day, earning the nickname of The Dark Moon. The atmosphere of Ostfrei was laden with carbon monoxide and methane, and soot particles have been suspended in the air after centuries of volcanic activity. Many xenoarchaeologists believed that Ostfrei might have been habitable at some distant point in the past, a belief that was borne out when evidence of an ancient civilization was found buried beneath an immense lava flow. Shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars, a small base was discovered on the surface of Ostfrei. Senator Lavira Wren outwardly feared that the base was being used by smugglers, although secretly she worried that it was serving as a Thaereian outpost in the Cularin System. She sent her aide, Sa'arli, to hire a group of freelance agents to investigate the base, thereby ensuring that the Cularin Militia was not involved in any trouble. What the agents discovered was that there were actually two bases on Ostfrei: a secret base owned by the Thaereians, and another on the opposite side of the moon that was owned by a group of pirates who ravaged the outer edges of the Cularin System. (LFC, WGT)

Ostracoda Gunboat
This submersible weapons platform was developed by the Trade Federation, and was first deployed during the Federation's invasion of the planet Naboo. Like the OTT Ocean Transport, the Ostracoda gunboat was little more than a redesigned land vehicle, and was plagued with problems when it was launched. Although the Ostracoda was soon scrapped, much of the experience the Federation gained during the Battle of Naboo went into the development of the Manta Droid Subfighter. (NEGD)

Ostrad Peninsula
This point of swampland was located between Otoh Gunga and the Gungan Sacred Place, on the planet Naboo. (E1A11)

Ostrine
Found on the planet Hargeeva, this mineral had many unique properties. The chief property was that ostrine could absorb heat like a sponge. This made it a valuable mineral for the production of armor plating for stormtroopers and soldiers. Ketrian Altronel discovered a method of crystalline manipulation and plas-bonding of certain trace elements that modified raw ostrine into a heat-absorbing material unlike anything else in the galaxy. Its natural absorption properties were multiplied ten-fold. Major Nial Pedrin took the formula for use by the Empire, and hoped to bring Ketrian to Coruscant for more research. However, she defected while en route to an Imperial facility, and used the formula to improve the firepower of X-Wings by adding ostrine to the housings of their laser cannons. (SWJ8)

Oswaft
This race of huge, manta-ray-like beings evolved in the vacuum of space, specifically in the region of space known as the ThonBoka, or StarCave. They evolved over the eons into space grazers, constantly gaining sustenance by filtering the various elements that floated in the vacuum. They were powerful, winged creatures which had a multitude of fleshy tendrils streaming from their undersides. It was these tendrils that allowed an Oswaft to manipulate objects. Normal adults were known to reach lengths of 750 meters or more, while the Elders could grow to 1,000 meters. They had strange, transparent flesh, inside of which could be seen the colors and sparks of chemical reactions. It was believed that some two-thirds of their body mass was used as their brain. When an Oswaft died, their flesh became opaque, and eventually decomposed into its molecular components. Oswaft could communicate across vast distances almost instantly by modulating radio waves to form complex strings of images and concepts, and they developed a way to manipulate microwaves to enter hyperspace by themselves. This allowed them to "skip" anywhere in an instant, although the nature of the Oswaft society was to stay at home in the StarCave, where they could avoid the dangers of what they called the Open Sea of space. They were incredibly intelligent, but had only gained knowledge within the confines of the StarCave. Thus, they were unimaginative beings with incredibly long lifespans, and their society was steeped in conservative traditions. They were virtually immune to fear, and never panicked. The Oswaft had the ability to sythesize complex molecular structures, provided that they had the raw atomic material to start with. The Oswaft society was ruled by a group of Elders, and was believed to have numbered in the billions, all living inside the ThonBoka. When Emperor Palpatine learned of the existence of the Oswaft, he believed that huge, sentient creatures which could move through hyperspace without starships were a threat to the Empire, and ordered them eradicated. Imperial forces blockaded the mouth of the StarCave nebula, regularly issuing poisonous discharges to kill the pre-organic motes that float into the ThonBoka and provide sustanence to the lifeforms inside. Lando Calrissian eventually talked the Oswaft into fighing for the ThonBoka, and together they broke the Imperial blockade and freed the Oswaft. (LCS, ECH, GMR5, NECH)

Ota
It was on this frozen world that Luke Skywalker intercepted Boba Fett, who was trying to locate the Mole. They were both captured by the Snogars, who wanted them to repair their city heaters. They escaped, and were met by Han Solo and Leia Organa. Solo was captured by the Snogars, and Fett agreed to help Luke rescue Han. They were all caught by the appearance of the Mole, who used a huge magnetic generator to pin Fett to a wall while they all made their way off-planet. (CSWEA)

Otalp
This young Squidge and his companion, Remoh, were believed to have encountered a protocol droid in a remote cave on their homeworld. This droid, according to legend, told them of the oppression of the Empire and the struggle of the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. The story was said to have parelleled the history of the Squidge and their subjugation by the Vindar. Before the end of the story, however, a group of Vindar discovered their location. Otalp was caught out in the open with the droid, but Remoh remained hidden. When the Vindar apprehended Otalp, they demanded that he tell them where his companion went. When Otalp refused, he was killed by the Vindar. This prompted Remoh to take up arms against the Vindar, in hopes of freeing his people. (T19)

Otana
This Corellian YT-2000 transport was owned by Thomaas Azzameen, who turned the ship over to his son Ace when he died. It was used to transfer bacta from remote sources to supply depots which were friendly to the Alliance. It was one of the ships which benefitted from the bacta sources known to the Azzameen family and Twin Suns Transport Services. (XWA)

O'Tawa Cymbals
These musical cymbals formed the heart of the drumheller harp. (VD)

Otbor, Budmle
This Neimoidian served as the Trade Federation's primary representative on the planet Sucharme, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. It was Otbor who ordered the shutdown of the Tallaga garrison, in an effort to eliminate any military actions against a Trade Federation blockade of the planet. (GCG)

Otek, Senni
This woman was a native of the planet Lianna, born to parents who were both engineers for Sienar Fleet Systems. Senni herself was curious and inquisitive, and chafed at the Imperial indoctrination holo-vids she was forced to watch as a child. When she tried to contact a rebel cell on Lianna, the Empire traced her movements and arrested her family for treason. Senni herself barely escaped when the local Alliance agents rescued her, but her parents were killed in a subsequent rescue attempt. Senni joined the Alliance as a technician, and eventually became a member of Korren Starchaser's scouting team. She served aboard the Jedi Dreamer as the senior technician. (SWJ13)

Otel, Oro
This male Sullustan scout was a member of the Alliance's Gray Griffins, and was one of the team captured by the Scourge pirates. (OE)

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

Other, The
This being was a member of an alien race which existed for eons in the depths of space, descending from a race of sentient machines that was created by another race that was wiped out when their sun went supernova. Like The Rest of his people, The Other resembled a huge, ovoid starship that was covered with polished silver plating. The Other's race had grown stagnant, and they longed for excitement and risks. One such risk became a problem for them, as it caused violence and destruction, and they were forced to recover it. Thus, The Other was amazed to learn that The One had created the droid known as Vuffi Raa as a kind of recording device, activating the little droid and sending it out into the galaxy to interact with other races and report back. (LCS)

Others, The
This was the Basic translation of the Colony's word for any being who was not a member of the Kind. (DN1)

Otherside
According to the legends of the ancient Keshiri, the Otherside was the mortal enemy of the Skyborn. The Otherside was said to have come from below, and represented death, sickness, fire, and rebellion. The Skyborn opposed the Otherside, keeping the planet Kesh from being destroyed. The two groups waged a war that lasted for eons, battling one another in the stars over Kesh. The blood of those Skyborn who were injured in the fighting fell to Kesh and formed the planet's land masses. Eventually, the Skyborn were victorious, and drove of the Otherside. (LTS2)

Otherspace
This specialized obstacle was used on swoopchasing courses. It was similar in design to The Channel, in that it was a completely enclosed portion of the race course. However, there were no light inside the Otherspace arena to guide the riders. Instead, a series of infrared beacons marked out the path which the riders must take. This required that riders quickly put on a set of infrared goggles prior to entry, or they would be utterly blind inside the arena. Alien races who could see in both the visible and infrared spectra were at a slight advantage on courses with this obstacle. Because of the high level of danger involved with the Otherspace obstacle, the only sanctioned races which use it were open to experts with several years of experience. Outlaw races used Otherspace at any level, and often booby-trapped the Otherspace arena with ion flares to momentarily blind those riders wearing infrared goggles. (BSS)

Otherspace
This was the name given to a vast expanse of dead, lifeless worlds floating in a dark gray nothingness near a huge black hole. It was known to a small group of deep-space explorers, as well as the Charon race, whose homeworld was located near the black hole. It was believed that the only way to enter Otherspace was through hyperspace itself, because most of the starships that entered Otherspace did so after experiencing hyperdrive malfunctions. Otherspace was gray in color, and was dominated by clouds of energy which swirled and swarmed around starships, causing problems with navigational and communications systems. The stars found in Otherspace appeared as smaller black holes, and many of their planets were scoured by the Charon and their death cult. Often, starships which suffered hyperdrive malfunctions while traveling through hyperspace got deposited into otherspace, where they wandered aimlessly, unable to maintain their shipboard systems and unable to resist the Charon. (OS, UANT, SSOG)

Otherworld Encounter
This adventure supplier was located on Cloud City, and provided paying customers with a chance to hike across the surface of Bespin's inner core in a virtual-reality environment. To ensure that patrons were happy, and remain cognizant of the fact that the illusion wasn't real, five-piece bands played music in the false craters. (GG2)

Othlorian Sea
This was one of the two major bodies of water found on the planet Fyodos. (PG2)

Othlos
This was the smallest of the three primary land masses on the planet Fyodos. (PG2)

Othon City
This was one of the largest cities on the planet Pirin. (GG10)

Othona, Dalus
This man served as the Provost of the Alderaan University, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN4)

Othone
Named for the Jedi Master Johun Othone, this ball of frozen ice and rock was the ninth and outermost planet of the Hoth's Brand System, located in the Teraab Sector of the Colonies Region of the galaxy. Interestingly, it was not the outermost body in the system, as the white dwarf star Petja circled Hoth's Brand just outside its orbital path. (SWMW)

Othone, John
see Othone, Johun (DBRT)

Othone, Johun
A native of the planet Sermeria, this young man was ten years old when he was chosen as a Padawan learner by Lord Hoth, more than 1,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Just nineteen at the time, Othone became distraught over his Master's death during the Battle of Ruusan. It had been Lord Hoth who ordered Othone to flee Ruusan before the Sith detonated their thought bomb, and after he pleaded to remain with his Master, Othone grudgingly boarded the Fairwind during the evacuation. Othone then tried to convince Lord Valenthyne Farfalla, who had assumed command of the Jedi forces after Hoth's death, that he should be allowed to help with the recovery efforts. Farfalla gently explained to him that the recovery party would only include beings without any connection to the Force, in order to save the remaining Jedi from further trauma.

While Othone understood that Farfalla was following his Master's orders, he refused to remain aboard the Fairwind. Using the Force, he coerced Irtanna into allowing him to fly her recovery team to the surface of Ruusan. He tried to abide by the basic tenets of the Jedi Order, and demanded that any beings found alive on the planet's surface be transported back to the Fairwind. After witnessing the disgust Irtanna and the other survivors held for the Sith, Othone realized that the natives of Ruusan were not going to recover from the emotional and physical pains of the war. He was unprepared for the manic flight of the natives and mercenaries who had encountered Darth Bane, but their frantic shouts gave him enough information to realize that the Sith Lord had somehow survived the detonation of the thought bomb. He hoped that this information would be enough to appease Lord Farfalla, who had discovered his escape and sent Major Orten Ledes to recover him.

Othone was forced to explain himself to Lord Farfalla, who chastised the young man for using the Force to manipulate Irtanna's mind. Unfortunately, Lord Farfalla found many reasons to discredit the words of the mercenaries Othone had encountered, not the least of which was the fact that they survived the encounter with Darth Bane at all.

In the wake of the battle, Othone returned to Coruscant with Lord Farfalla, who had been summoned to a meeting with the Supreme Chancellor to discuss the Ruusan Reformatons. Othone opposed the changes that were being proposed, despite the fact that Farfalla, who had taken over his training, agreed with them. Farfalla later explained that Othone had known nothing but war, and introduced the idea that the Jedi might need to change their ways in times of peace. In a surprising move, Farfalla then named Othone to be the Jedi Order's representative among Chancellor Tarsus Valorum's personal guard. Although he was dismayed to be spending more time on Coruscant, Othone accepted the posting with dignity and honor. Master Farfalla then told Othone that the Jedi Order had decided that his efforts during the Battle of Ruusan, and his graceful acceptance of his role on the Chancellor's staff, had earned Othone a promotion to the level of Jedi Knight.

Over the following years, Othone built a strong relationship with Chancellor Valorum, and remained at Valorum's side even after his two terms of office were over. About ten years after the Battle of Ruusan, Othone accompanied Valorum on a mission to Serenno, where Valorum hoped to enlist the planetary government's aid in quelling the separatist movement that was gaining support on the planet. When the Anti-Republic Liberation Front launched an attack on Valorum's life, Othone protected him, allowing Valorum to gain unprecedented support. The Serenno government was embarrassed by the assassination attempt, and pledged to eradicate separtism in the galaxy.

Upon returning to Coruscant, Othone took the opportunity to support Valorum's plans to fund and build a memorial on Ruusan to honor the sacrifices made by the Army of Light in protecting the galaxy. While the Senate readily agreed to fund such a memorial, the Jedi Council initially denied Othone's request. They said that any memorial to such an act of destruction might serve to draw more attention to it, and that Lord Hoth and his forces were simply doing their duty. Othone was outraged, and he pleaded his case before the media. As popular opinion swelled behind the "callousness of the Jedi", Othone took his Senate funding and traveled to Ruusan to erect the memorial himself. At the site of the decisive struggle in the Battle of Ruusan, Othone created the Valley of the Jedi in honor of his fallen Master and comrades. The job was not without its problems, although Othone discovered that most of the accidents that occurred at the construction site were caused by Darovit, the so-called Healing Hermit.

Othone recognized the man's connection to the Force, but he was more surprised when Darovit told of Darth Bane and his survival in the wake of the Battle of Ruusan. Othone realized that he had finally found the proof he needed to convince the other Jedi, and urged Darovit to accompany him back to Coruscant. After Darovit disovered his cousin, Rain, in the Jedi Archives, the Jedi Council agreed to send a team to Tython to confront Bane. Othone was added to the team, which included Master Farfalla and three other Jedi. Upon reaching Bane's fortress on Tython, the Jedi split up, with Othone and Sarro Xaj confronting Zannah while the others took on Darth Bane. Othone was called to assist the others when Bane tried to attack Master Worror, who was using battle meditation to assist the Jedi in attacking the Sith. Othone's appearance gave the Jedi a brief respote against Bane's attacks, but the fact that the Sith Lord's body was covered with orbalisks allowed him to absorb every killing blow the Jedi could deliver.

It was Othone who finally realized that there was a gap in the orbalisks near Bane's wrist. As the Sith concentrated on the Jedi Masters, Othone plunged the tip of his lightsaber into the gap, partially severing the hand. Bane recoiled in pain and anger, giving the orbalisks time to heal the injury. When Zannah dispatched Sarro Xaj and joined her Master, Bane managed to cut off Othone's hand before turning on the others and killing the other Jedi with powerful blows of his lightsaber. As Master Worror died trying to destroy Darth Bane, Othone tried to recover his own weapon. However, Zannah confronted him and killed him with her own lightsaber, ending the Jedi Order's attempt to destroy the Sith. (PJSB, DBRT)

Otoga-222 Droid
This was one model of the Otoga series of maintenance droids that was produced by Veril Line Systems, several centuries before the onset of the Clone Wars. The Otoga-222 had a small, humanoid body that was topped by a small, wheel-shaped head. The appearance of the Otoga-222 was considered cute, especially when one had a chance to interact with an individual unit. The programming of the Otoga-222 droids allowed them to utter happy vocalizations in any number of languages, giving them the demeanor of an optimistic child. Despite its small head, the Otoga-222 droid was given a wealth of computing power and storage capacity, in which was stored the schematics of a wide range of vehicles and technology. Although originally marketed to starshpi mechanics, the Otoga-222 was also sold to families as a household maintenance droid. These units were most popular, however, among podracers. Often cheaper than the Cyrillian DUM droids, these droids were used by up-and-coming podracers to help maintain their racing vehicles. The primary drawback to using Otoga-222 droids as podracer mechanics was the fact that they moved with a decided lack of speed, although many podracers claimed that the skill and accuracy of the Otoga-222 more than made up for this.. (E1N, SWI50, NEGD)

Otoga-series Maintenance Droid
This was a series of maintenance droids that was originally produced by Veril Line Systems many centuries before the onset of the Clone Wars. There were dozens of variations on the main line, including the Otoga-222 droid that became best-known as a podracing mechanic. (NEGD)

Otoh Gunga
This was the largest city of the Gungan race, located deep within the waters of Lake Paonga, on the planet Naboo. Boss Nass ruled a tribe Gungans from this bubble city in the period leading up to the Battle of Naboo. During the Trade Federation's occupation of Naboo, the Gungans abandoned the city and fled to their sacred place, hoping to avoid the war. In the wake of the Battle of Naboo, Otoh Gunga became overcrowded, as it became something of a tourist attraction to those beings who visited Naboo. (E1N, IG1, SON, OWS)

Otoh Gunga Bongomeken Cooperative
This Gungan construction facility was responsible for making many of the underwater transport craft used by the Gungans on the planet Naboo. They built the bongo submersibles as well as the Mantaris transport ship. The origins of this facility can be traced to the Bongomeken Collective, more than 3,000 years prior to the Battle of Naboo. (X1, GB)

Otoh Gunga Challenge
This was the greatest of all gungan bongo races, held in the city of Otoh Gunga and open to any individual who could pilt a single-engine bongo at speeds of at least 100 longos. It was held annually in the Otoh Gunga Gardens, with the course wrapping around its lower levels before opening into Lake Paonga. The race wound around a sacred mountain before returning to the Otoh Gunga Gardens. During the years prior to the Battle of Naboo, the race was attended primarily by Gungans. After the Battle of Naboo, however, the race became popular with many beings from across the galaxy, much to the chagrin of many Gungans. (GMR4)

Otoh Gunga Defense League
This Gungan manufacturing facility produced the unusual vehicles used by the Gungan Grand Army. (SON)

Otoh Gunga Garden
This was one of the most wondrous natural areas found in the city of Otoh Gunga, located beneath the waters of the planet Naboo. (GMR4)

Otoh Gunga Transit Authority
This was the primary governmental body created by the Gungan leaders of Otoh Gunga during the years following the Battle of Naboo. As the city of Otoh Gunga was opened to tourists and visitors, the Otoh Gunga Transit Authority was formed to address the needs for public transportation, both within the city of Otoh Gunga and to other locations across Naboo. (GMR4)

Otoh Gunga Zoological Research Facility
Developed by the Gungans of Otoh Gunga, this facility sought to ensure the continued existence of some of Naboo's rarest and most endangered species of plants and animals. (E1A9)

Otoh Sancture
This ancient, underwater city was the stronghold of the Gungans who were part of the clan led by Boss Gallo, some 3,000 years before the Battle of Naboo. Located in the oceans of Naboo, the city was known as a hub for commerce and trade, since Boss Gallo chose to remain neutral during the inter-clan battles fought amongst the Gungans. However, the prosperity of Otoh Sancture made Boss Rogoe fear that Boss Gallo might have the power to sway the battles, and so Boss Rogoe sent his forces to wipe out Otoh Sancture and eliminate Boss Gallo. Despite the destruction of Otoh Sancture, Boss Gallo survived and eventually united the Gungan people. (GB)

Otoh Swirl
This was the term used to describe the ornate pattern of curves and whorls that adorned the robes of Gungan leaders. A wide ribbon of otoh swirls was worn by the members of a city's Rep Council, while the Boss of a city wore Otoh swirls on the front panels of their long overcoat. (CVD)

Otoh Villages
This was the name given to the bubble buildings on the outskirts of the city of Otoh Gunga. It was in the Otoh Villages that most of the Gungans who lived in the city had their residences. (IWE1)

Otolla
This was the name of one of the two major races of Gungans found on the planet Naboo. Unlike their Ankura cousins, the Otolla Gungans were tall and muscular, and had reddish skin coloration which faded to tan on their undersides. Their haillu were also much longer and more pronounced than those of the Ankura race, and their eyes sat up on short stalks. (IG1)

Otondon, Gleed
This imposing creature served under Cradossk in the old Bounty Hunters Guild. When the Guild was split apart, Otondon joined the True Guild and acted as its emissary to Kud'ar Mub'at. A huge, heavily-muscled alien with leathery skin and a spiked skull, Otondon was nevertheless apprehensive about negotiating inside Mub'at's web. His hands were studded with claws. Following the breakup of the Bounty Hunters Guild, Otondon began embezzling the Guild's funds and storing them in safe accounts. After the dissolution of the True Guild and the Guild Reform Committee, Otondon took all the credits and went into hiding, leaving the other bounty hunters with nothing. (SLS, HM)

Otsock
This was the female Duckonian alias adopted by a member of the Fireclaw Horde, who posed as a noted swoop racer in the Cularin System, during the final years of the Old Republic. The alias was part of Mebara Jos' plans to disrupt the inaugural Cularin Classic race by causing all manner of violence and chaos. Having "Otsock" and her fellow Duckonians on the inside gave Jos access to the race course. (JST3)

OTT Ocean Transport
This submersible troop transport was developed by the Trade Federation, and was first deployed during the Federation's invasion of the planet Naboo. Like the Ostracoda Gunboat, the OTT Ocean Transport was little more than a redesigned land vehicle, and was plagued with problems when it was launched. Although the OTT Ocean Transport was soon scrapped, much of the experience the Federation gained during the Battle of Naboo went into the development of the Manta Droid Subfighter. (NEGD)

Ottega Sector
This area of the galaxy, located in the Lesser Plooroid Cluster, contains the Quelii, Ottega (Ithorian), and Dathomir planetary systems. It was located near the Outer Rim territories. At the time Prince Isolder was trying to win Leia's hand in marriage, it was almost completely controlled by the Imperial warlord Zsinj. The latest astrogation charts show that the Ottega Sector had 75 planets and 622 natural satellite moons. (DE1, CPL, SWSB)

Best known for his work in SuperKnight: The Awakening and Webb Tenger: PeaceBuster, Ottekvar's casting as Lord Baltharog in the film version of the popular game Quest for Quasar was met with stern opposition from the game's fans. They felt that Ottekvar was 0.03 meters too short to play Baltharog. (HNN5)

Ottethan
This planet was the primary world in the Ottethan System, and was known as one of the homeworlds of the common rancor. (NEGA)

Ottethan System
This star system which was the seat of the Ottethan warlord, who ruled eleven other systems as well. It was located at the far edge of the galaxy. Vima-da-Boda's daughter Neema was executed there for trying to use the Dark Side of the Force against the Ottethan warlord. This system was also home to a colony of common rancors. (DE1, DESB, NEGA)

Otto
This former Imperial Army General had a less-than-distinguished career which was only prolonged because of his friendship with Admiral Motti. An obese bumbler, Otto lost a number of key battles agains the Alliance early in the Galactic Civil War, and barely avoided being executed by Darth Vader. When his position became perilous, Otto found himself stationed on the planet Lok, thanks to the machinations of Motti. Otto, however, was less than appreciative, feeling that the Empire owed him a luxury suite on Bespin's Cloud City for his service. Shortly before after the Battle of Hoth, Otto defected from Imperial service, stole an AT-ST scout walker, and fled Lok. He ended up on Tatooine, where he participated in the demolition derbies staged by Jabba the Hutt. Otto hoped to win the series of contests with his modified AT-ST, thereby winning enough credits to purchase property on Cloud City. (SWD)

Otuana, Bink
This man was believed to have been native to the planet Alderaan, but all records of his birth and life were lost when the planet was destroyed by the first Death Star. However, this was about the only information the appeared to be true about Otuana, as he and his buddy, Tag Greenley, became the fodder for urban legends and popular rumors. According to one story, Bink and Tag were trained as Padawans at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The story went on to say that it was Tag and Bink who erased all knowledge of Kamino from the Jedi Archives, while trying to cheat on a test. Years later, Bink was believed to have joined the Alliance, and briefly served with Tag in the Alderaanian Guard. However, both were caught by Imperial forces when the Tantive IV was apprehended over Tatooine. According to popular legend, Bink and Tag escaped by overpowering two stormtroopers, stealing their armor, and pretending to be Imperial soldiers aboard the Devastator. Upon reaching the first Death Star, Tag and Bink tried to escape in a pair of stolen TIE Fighters, but had to watch in horror as the Death Star destroyed Alderaan. Their ships were nearly intercepted by Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon, but managed to outrace the freighter to the Death Star. As the legend went, Bink and Tag were the two stormtroopers on guard duty when Obi-Wan Kenobi disabled the Death Star's tractor beam, allowing the Millennium Falcon to escape. It was believed that the pair escaped the destruction of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin by stealing the Lambda-class shuttle Tydirium, calling in a favor from Lando Calrissian to avoid Boba Fett and reach the Alliance near Calamari. They were deemed heroes, despite the fact that they had originally deserted their posts aboard the Tantive IV, a fact that they worked hard to hide. They later agreed to help Lando infiltrate Jabba the Hutt's palace on Tatooine, but were discovered by Boba Fett and fed to the sarlacc. Only the bounty hunter's own tumble into the creature's mouth saved all three of them. Tag and Bink were then sworn to secrecy, never to reveal Boba Fett's inappropriate fall into the sarlacc. To ensure Fett's image, Tag later claimed that he had taken the bounty hunter's armor, and had fallen into the sarlacc pit by accident. After rendezvousing with Manny Both-Hanz, the pair were ordered by Mon Mothma to bring his body to the Imperial outpost at Endor, in an effort to make the Empire believed the plans to the second Death Star had been lost. Tag and Bink later died when the second Death Star was destroyed during the Battle of Endor. Urban legend claimed that they managed to reappear to Luke Skywalker as apparitions of the Force, although there was no evidence to support this claim. (TBAD, T12, TB2)

Otunia
An arid world covered with brownish-red dust. (T3)

Ou
This word was the Ansionian term for "yes." (APS)

Oubliette
This was the name used the ancient Sith to describe any ancient, coffin-like device that could sustain the life of a Force-sensitive individual. When placed inside the oubliette, a being fell into a deep trance-like stasis, where their body remained preserved until the oubliette was opened. The being inside the oubliette appeared to be dead, and their presense in the Force was reduced to such a low level that other Force-sensitive beings could not detect them, further adding to the appearance that the being inside the oubliette was dead. During the centuries leading up to the Great Sith War, only a few working oubliettes were known to be in existence, although it was believed that Haazen had one created to preserve the body of Lady Krynda Draay. (KOR10)

Oueee-ha
This Gacerite word describes the musical rocks that exist on the Elto continent of Gacerian. These rocky spires, found on the Plateau of Dreams, resonate when the winds blows through them, creating an eerie melody. Many Gacerites come to the rocks to meditate. (PG2)

Oulat

Ourn, Belezaboth
This Paqwe, who carried the title "Extraordinary Consul of the Paqwepori," was a spy working on Coruscant for Nil Spaar. Ourn's job was to monitor the progress of the Fifth Battle Group, reporting its missions to Spaar. Ourn was the owner of the starship Mother's Valkyrie, which was purposely destroyed during the liftoff of the Aramadia. Ourn was able to relay information about the mission to take control of the Koornacht Cluster, which resulted in Spaar capturing Han Solo. However, when the role of the Valkyrie was discovered by Ilar Paqwe, the entire crew was reprimanded and reduced in social standing. Ourn himself had his appointment as Extraordinary Consul revoked by Ilar Paqwe. Rather than return home to humiliation and disgrace, he turned himself in to Leia Organa-Solo and the New Republic. He provided the device which was given to him to communicate with Spaar, allowing the Republic's communications experts to discover Yevethan plans for the Koornacht Cluster and the galaxy in general. (BTS, SOL, TT)

Ouroboros Circuit
This form of electronic circuit was used to confound or confuse a tracking system that relied on regular signals from a restraining device. When activated, the ouroboros circuit sent a coded transmission back to the tracking system source. Included in this transmission was coding that kept the tracking system in a continuous loop, allowing the individual to escape while the authorities continued to believe that they were still in the general area. (CN2)

Ouroboros Routine
This was a specialized form of computer code that literally consumed itself when activated. The routine first carried out its primary tasks, then launched into a feedback loop that destroyed its own code, causing a temporary overload of the computer system in which it resided. (DSTR)

Out From The Shadows
This was one of the many drug abuse awareness and outreach programs which sprang up on Coruscant, during the last years of the Old Republic, as youths began avoiding the galactic climate by immersing themselves in drug-induced euphorias. (HNN4)

Out of Touch
This starship was owned and operated by Tok-Foge Pokresh, and was based on the planet Bothawui. The New Republic Ship Reigstry assigned it identification RN40-844033. (SOL)

Out Runner
This modified light freighter was used by the Alliance to intercept the crew of the Wanderer as they tried to return to Miser. It was also used to rescue Ackbar during the discovery of the Shantipole Project. (IC, SFS)

Out System Scout Vessel
Manufactured by Loronar, this 63-meter ship was used by Alpha and Beta missions searching for habitable planets. Manned by a crew of 4 and a single gunner, this vessel also carried four passengers. They ships had decent hyperdrive capabilities, and was armed with a single, turret-mounted laser cannon. (SN)

Outbound Flight
This was the name given to the unusual starship created for the Outbound Flight Project, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Six full-sized Dreadnaughts were linked together around a central fuselage to provide propulsion, navigation and computer systems, and weapons and shielding systems. Each Dreadnaught was connected to the others by a series of connecting pylons and turbolifts, and these turbolifts were also attached to the central core. Any one of the Dreadnaughts could be detached in an emergency, or left behind to provide defensive support for the rest of the vessel. A unique configuration of repulsor beams moved the liftcars between locations at rapid speeds, while a pool of swoops allowed for swift transportation between Dreadnaughts. Within the core were storage facilities to for food, water, and fuel, with enough capacity to keep Outbound Flight operative for many years. Living quarters were primarily located in the Dreadnaughts themselves. Artificial gravity was maintained each of the seven areas, and specialized systems worked to adjust the gravity in the turbolift cars to ensure that beings moving from ship to ship were always feeling the correct orientation. When the Oubtound Flight Project was destroyed, as part of Darth Sidious' plan to ensure it was never discovered by the Far Outsiders, the attack was orchestrated by then Force Commander Thrawn of the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet, with assistance from Kinman Doriana. The initial attack on Outbound Flight was highly surgical, with most strikes targetting only weapons, shields, and drive systems. However, when Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth turned to the Dark Side of the Force and tried to kill Thrawn, the Chiss officer set in motion his secondary attack. His starfighters carried radiation bombs to each Dreadnaught, and the resulting explosion of radiation quickly killed every living being in each of the six ships, including C'baoth. Only those beings who happened to be in the central storage core survived the radiation attack. While the Chiss argued over who should take control of the vessels of Outbound Flight, Jedi Knight Lorana Jinzler led the rest of the survivors on an attempt to regain control of the ship. She found herself aided by Syndic Thrass, Thrawn's own brother, who recognized that Outbound Flight could not fall into the hands of one of the Chiss ruling families. Jinzler and Thrass eventually managed to get one of the ships back to running, and they set out for a remote area of Chiss space known as the Redoubt. Their hyperdrive eventually failed, and their sublight engines were only adequate to insert them into a decaying orbit around an arid planetoid. Jinzler and Thrass gave their lives to ensure that Outbound Flight crashlanded in such a way that the rest of the survivors were able to survive the crash. The resulting impact left Outbound Flight utterly incapable of flight, however, as five of the six Dreadnaughts were buried beneath tons of rocky debris. Only the number four ship, designated D-Four, remained aboveground, which posed serious health risks due to its exposure to interstellar radiation. Thus, the Survivors were forced to establish living areas in D-Five, and the nursery center was established in D-Six. Access to the number one ship, where Jinzler and Thrass had died, was blocked due to damage suffered in the crash, so the colony's main command center was moved to D-Four, where it could intercept any visitors. Luckily for those beings who survived the attack, the central supply core was undamaged, leaving them with a wealth of food, water, and other supplies. In order to survive, the existing decks aboard the Dreadnaughs were refitted for use as hospitals, schools, and other essential facilities that could keep the newly-christened Outbound Flight Colony alive and viable. The job of making the badly damaged Dreadnaughts workable was successful mainly due to the number of droids that were repaired and activated by the Survivors. The fact that the Outbound Flight came to rest in the Redoubt posed a number of problems when first contact was made with the survivors, since they were technically univited guests, and had no right to be there. However, the Chiss had decided to turn the ship over to Luke Skywalker and the new order of Jedi Knights, and so they were allowed to visit the site of Outbound Flight's final resting place and acquire what information they could from the wreckage. (SQ, OF)

Outbound Flight Colony
This was the name adopted by the survivors of the Outbound Flight Project, after they were able stabilize the remains of the Outbound Flight and restore it to a working - but not flyable - state. The Colony was governed by the laws of The Charter, which provided for a Managing Council to oversee the operations of the Colony, and a group of Peacekeepers to maintain order. After the Vagaari threat was eliminated, the Colony's members grudgingly agreed to accompany the Outbound Flight Colony to Nirauan, staying as far away from the New Republic as they could. (SQ)

Outbound Flight Project
Outbound Flight was a project that was conceived by Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth and financed by the Old Republic during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The goal of the project was to search out and catalog life in the Unknown Regions and eventually outside the galaxy. A secondary goal was to discover other races which were sensitive to the Force. Master C'baoth also hoped that he could locate the missing Jedi Master Vergere. The project called for a huge starship, which became known as Outbound Flight, to serve as the base of operations for the exploration team. This starship turned out to be more like a mobile space station, consisting of six full-sized Dreadnaughts attached around a central storage core. It was launched from Yaga Minor, five prior to the Clone Wars, after Master C'baoth prevented the assassination of Passel Argente and the Brolfi government on Barlok. This event convinced the Senate Appropriations Committee to approve the funding for Outbound Flight, which was finalized by Chancellor Palpatine when he passed Senate measure 4213.0410. Note that Dark Force Rising places this event 47 years before the Clone Wars. The main group of explorers was led by six Jedi Masters and twelve Jedi Knights, ostensibly with Master C'baoth as their leader. 50,000 other individuals, including the crew and their families, also went along on the mission. A wealth of supplies was stored in the central core ship, and it was believed that the Trade Federation donated some supposedly surplus battle droids and droidekas for defensive measures. The excitement of Outbound Flight's mission quickly wore off, especially among the civilian population, when Master C'baoth began assuming control of Outbound Flight's operations. He even usurped military control of the mission from Captain Pakmillu, and then began training the Jedi contigent in the operation of the ship's systems and weapons. In what was a microcosm of the galaxy at large, the population of Outbound Flight began to resent the Jedi, and the Jedi continued to accrue power over the very beings they were charged to protect. Unknown to C'baoth and the rest of Outbound Flight's personnel, Darth Sidious had been planning to eliminate Outbound Flight and the threat posed by its Jedi Knights. Sidious knew that the Jedi needed to be exterminated in order for him to realize his goals, but he had also foreseen the possibility of an attack by the Far Outsiders, should they ever come into contact with the Jedi. Sidious worked behind the scenes with Kinman Doriana to gather a huge, fifteen-ship task force that would intercept and destroy the mission, along with its six Jedi Masters. Doriana and his forces were intercepted by then Force Commander Thrawn of the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet, who wiped out all the ships save the battleship in which Doriana was stationed. Doriana eventually convinced Thrawn of the threat posed by a Jedi encounter with the Far Outsiders, and Thrawn agreed to eliminate Outbound Flight. Ultimately, Thrawn only succeeded in killing nearly all the beings aboard the ships, with the only survivors being those individuals who were in the central storage core at the time of his attack. The ships itself eventually limped away from the battlezone and crashed onto a remote planetoid, where the survivors established a crude settlement. Doriana and his lone battleship were allowed to return to the Republic with news of the destruction of Outbound Flight. Following the loss of the Jedi Masters, whose exact consequences were withheld by Palpatine, the Outbound Flight Project was officially abandoned. The remains of the Outbound Flight starship were found nearly fifty years later by Chiss explorers, who agreed that the remains should be turned over to Luke Skywalker and his new order of Jedi Knights. The Dreadnaughts were partially buried into the surface of a remote planetoid, having been guided there by Jedi Knight Lorana Jinzler and the former Syndic of the Nuruodo family, Thrass.

Outcasts
This was the term used to describe those T'Syriel who refused to follow the example of Keral Longknife and put aside their generations-long struggle against the human natives of Shiva IV. Longknife cast them out of the cities, forcing them to eke out an existence in the wastelands of the planet. The Outcasts hated the city-dwellers for this reason, and often raided outlying settlements, killing anyone they found and looting all foodstuffs and supplies. (MC53)

Outcasts
This was the term used to describe those members of society on the planet Taris who were banished to the lower levels of the cityscape. The Outcasts were primarily non-humans and lower-class humans who lacked wealth or power to maintain a position in the Upper City. (KOTOR)

Outer Circle
This was the name used by the Daan and the Melida to describe the outer section of the city of Zehava, beyond the border of the Inner Hub. The Daan controlled the Outer Circle some thirteen years before the Battle of Naboo, having driven the Melida into the Inner Hub shortly after the Twenty-Second Battle of Zehava. (DOD)

Outer Core
This was a term used by those beings who lived on the innermost planets of the Core Worlds to describe the outer edges of the Core. The term Outer Core was technically correct in its description of a section of the galaxy, but was often used as a derogatory term by elitist populations in the inner Core. (CN2)

Based on the planet Gerrenthum, this was the name of the corporation founded by Ecclessis Figg and his young bride, Yarith. With Ecclessis' brains and Yarith's credits, the Outer Javin Company mapped and exploited the Greater Javin area of the galaxy. Ecclessis Figg made a number of profitable deals with the Lutrillians and the Nothoiin, ensuring that the use of the Greater Javin provided an economic benefit for all major planets and races in the area. By the time of the New Order, the Outer Javin Company was the only publicaly-traded aspect of the vast Figg enterprise. (WOA33, WOA34)

Outer Rim Command
This was the group of military leaders who determined the Galactic Republic's initial plans for defending member worlds in the Outer Rim Territories, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Following the Battle of Geonosis and other conflicts that occurred well beyond the Core Worlds, Jedi Masters Yoda and Mace Windu recognized that the Separatists were building up support in the Outer Rim, and determined that the Republic needed to establish a presence there. (CWTV27)

Outer Rim Communications Center
This was the Alliance's primary communications facility in the Atrivis Sector of the galaxy, during the Galactic Civil War. It was manned by members of the Atrivis Sector Force, and was commanded by General Kryll. (RASB)

Outer Rim Oreworks Company
This mining corporation was based in the Outer Rim Territories, and was known for its use of questionable methods to strip-mine planets in quick order. The company was originally founded more than a millennia before the onset of the Clone Wars, and was known as much for the ores it mined as for its cutthroat tactics. Once a planet was completely mined, or when it began to cost more to continue mining than profits could sustain, the world was abandoned, often with serious environmental damage left behind by the mining operations. Although the corporation's basic tenets were quite humanitarian, the actual day-to-day operations of ORO were anything but that. Miners were treated as little more than indentured laborers, working to pay off the debts they incurred trying to buy the basics from the company itself. Men like Hugo Bartyn were promoted to positions of power within the corporation, and the existence of native sentient species on many worlds was covered up to ensure that mining rights could be procured. Some 500 years after the establishment of the operations on Lamaredd, ORO was forced to pull out when it was revealed that Hugo Bartyn had nearly exterminated the entire Menahuun race in order to secure the mines on Lamaredd. (WOA10, GMR7, DBPD)

Outer Rim Quadrant
This was the name given to the Imperial-occupied space around the planet Tatooine. During the Galactic Civil War, the Outer Rim Quadrant allowed Imperial starships to take off and land on Tatooine without having to pass through civilian space. Thus, it was heavily patrolled, and any unauthorized passage through the quadrant was immediately met with resistance. (SWGAL)

Outer Rim Sector Army
This was unofficial designation of the 4th Sector Army of the Grand Army of the Republic. (SWI84)

Outer Rim Sieges
This was the name used to describe the series of battles and skirmishes that took place at the edges of the Old Republic's scope of galactic control, during the last stages of the Clone Wars. The Outer Rim Sieges took a heavy toll on both the Grand Army of the Republic and the Jedi Knights, as both bodies were stretched exceptionally thin in order to counteract the actions of the Separatists. At the height of the fighting, nearly half of Coruscant's own home fleet was dispatched to the Outer Rim. Unknown to the Jedi and Army, the Outer Rim Sieges were actually part of a much larger plan established by Darth Sidious, and executed by Count Dooku and the Separatists. After nearly three years of fighting, the Old Republic had managed to drive the Separatists out of the Core Worlds, forcing the Separatists to regroup in the Outer Rim. Believing the Core to be safe, Chancellor Palpatine and the leaders of the Jedi Order pursued the Separatists to far-flung worlds. Often, entire fleets were dedicated to a single mission, such as the hunts for Count Dooku on Tythe and the Separatist leaders at Belderone. These sieges were part of Sidious' plan to spread the Grand Army of the Republic as thin as possible, and the Jedi Order even thinner. Then, when the moment was right, Sidious ordered General Grievous to launch an all-out attack on Coruscant itself. Despite the Republic's victory at Coruscant, Grievous managed to escape to the Outer Rim, and the Republic was forced to continue fighting in order to prevent Grievous from being able to regroup for another attack. This continuation of fighting only served to further the plans of Darth Sidious, who knew that the Jedi who were leading the battle groups would be scattered and unable to return quickly. After Palpatine issued the command to execute Order 66, clone commanders across the Outer Rim turned on their Jedi Generals and executed them. Thus began the Jedi Purge, solidifying Palpatine's control of the galaxy. (OWS, LEV, IS3)

Outer Rim Territories
A section of the galaxy which contains Tatooine and Ryloth. This sector of the galaxy had long marked the farthest edges of galactic expansion, since it represented a huge amount of space beyond the Inner Rim Territories, which were known simply as The Rim. For this reason, Emperor Palpatine committed most of his more heinous atrocities there. The Outer Rim was under the control of Grand Moff Tarkin and the first Death Star, until the Moff and his space station were destroyed in the Battle of Yavin. (E4, HTTE, COTF)

Outer Rim Third Fleet
This starship fleet was part of the New Empire's naval forces, in the wake of the Sith-Imperial War. When Darth Krayt assumed control of the galaxy, and when the orbital shipyards over the planet Mon Calamari were turned over to the New Empire, the Outer Rim Third Fleet was assigned to protect the Calamari System and its shipyards. From the flagship Relentless, the Outer Rim Third Fleet was under the command of Admiral Sha Dun for many years, until he was replaced by Admiral Valan. (SWLI)

Outer Rim Trade Consortium
This group of Outer Rim trading concerns sprang up during the early years of the New Order, in an effort to address the lack of Imperial support the Outer Rim's businesses was getting. The Consortium spent much of its time cataloging and documenting the various Outer Rim exports that were provided to the Empire, in the hopes of ensuring adequate compensation. The Consortium felt that most of the Empire's credits were going to Core World aristocrats, while Outer Rim farmers and laborers were working for a pittance. Behind the scenes, the Consortium supported the efforts of the Alliance, and even registered several freighters and transports - actually owned by the Alliance - under it own name. (RESB)

Outer Rim Wars
Alexsandr Badure participated in this series of Old Republic battles, which occurred many years before the onset of the Clone Wars. (CSA)

Outer Rim, The
A name given to the furthest reaches of the Invisible Sector of Imperial City, on Coruscant. It represents the areas in which the aliens who live there were trying to expand their territory. (WG)

Outer Spine
This was a term used by many spacers to indicate the most remote parts of the Corellian Trade Spine, beginning at the intersection with the Rimma trade Route at Yag'Dhul and moving rimward. Many parts of the Outer Spine had only been traveled for several centuries, despite the fact that much of the Corellian Trade Spine had been established millennia before. (WOA33)

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

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

Outer Zznza
This was rumored to be one of the farthest-known places in the galaxy, at least according to Dexter Jettster. (OWS)

Outer-Rim Rum Drop
This was a popular mixed drink, developed on an unspecified Outer Rim world during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was distinguished by its reddish color, which swirled and changed as the drink was consumed. (LFCW)

Outland Mining
This Old Republic mining corporation was large enough to maintain its own defense fleet, but much of the fleet was nationalized by the Old Republic in the wake of the Trade Federation's actions leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Could this refer to Offworld Mining? (RP)

Outland Region
A sparsely-populated area of the planet Rydonni Prime. (SWJ9)

Outland Region
This far-ranging area of Imperial space was patrolled by Wilhuf Tarkin during the early years of the New Order. This may be another reference to the Outer Rim Territories. (CSWDW)

Outland Regions
This was one of the most remote areas of the known galaxy, located close to the very edge of the galactic disc. (CN1)

Outland Rifle
This was a form of slugthrower that was developed by Czerka during the final decades of the Old Republic. The outland Rifle was capable of firing larger slugs, and thus it could do more damage to a target. The Outland Rifle had an internal magazine that held eight slugs, and it was generally considered one of the most reliable slugthrowers ever produced. It had incredible range and accuracy, being equipped with a removable NightMight 4NS sight and capable of being used with a monopod or bipod stand. (GMR4, OWS)

Outland Transit Station
Dexter Jettster once owned a weapons shop on this space station, located along the edge of Hutt Space. The station was covered with a transparisteel dome, that provided it with an open-air feeling. Much of the station was given over to street-like rows of shops and stores, where virtually anything could be purchased…for the right price. During the years surroudning the Battle of Naboo, the station was owned by the Toydarian Rozatta, who was a friend and accomplice of Jango Fett. After the station was attacked by the Bando Gora Force witches, Dexter sold his interests to Jango Fett and fled to Coruscant. The Bando Gora attack was followed swiftly by an assault from the bounty hunter Montross, who killed Rozatta in order to lure Jango back to the station. Rozatta provided Jango with information on the Bando Gora, and explained that Montross had set a series of thermal charges throughout the station. As he fled, Jango watched the Outland Transit Station explode, putting an end to his holdings there. (SWDB, GMR10, SWRPG2, BH)

Outlander
This game of chance was a complex and fashionable game during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was usually played on a rotating holoboard, but was adapted for play on the HoloNet when it became popular. (HNN4, IWE2)

Outlander Clans
This was one of the primary clans of S'kytri which were native to the planet Skye. Although the Outlander Clans were given one seat on the Supreme Council, its members were not allowed a chance to rule Skye like the Highland and Lowland Clans. Like the other clans, the Outlander Clans were formed from forty-two unique family groups. (GMR1)

Outlander Club
This was a noted nightclub and gambling hall, located on Vos Gesal Street on the planet Coruscant some ten years after the Battle of Naboo.The club was owned by Volven Roxe, who was financed by a shady group of Columi investors. The club was named for the fact that it originally was a small establishment that catered to the afficcionados of the game Outlander. It was here that Zam Wesell tried to ambush Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, after they foiled a second assassination attempt on the life of Senator Padme' Amidala. The Outlander Club was once a stylish establishment that catered to many of Coruscant's elite, but the continued growth of the city-world meant that the Outlander was quickly deemed passe' by its clientele. Over the years, the Outlander became known as a haven for the seedier natives of Coruscant. It was also rumored that an Anzati stalked the Club's clientele, although many believed this was just a story devised to make the Club more attractive. Note that Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Episode II indicates that the Outlande Club was owned by the Baath Brothers. (OWS, E2N, SWDB, CCW, IWE2)

Outlanders Organized Crime
This was the name given to the "family" of criminal organizations which were active on the Outland Transit Station during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. The OOC had its fingers in virtually every aspect of life aboard the station, and often used them in helped to police its own members. Any bounties that needed to be placed to bring in rogues or deserters were often placed by the sanitation or public works agencies, in return for a certain amount of "protection" from the OOC. (BH)

Outlands, The
This was the Calian term used to describe the frontier region of the planet Shiva IV. Most of the Outlands region was populated by the native T'Syriel, although a few settlements of humans who were loyal to the Calian Confederacy could be found within its borders. (OWS)

Outlaw Tech
This was the name that was used to describe any of the various starship mechanics who worked outside the realm of legal starship modifications and their associated paperwork. They did custom work for smugglers and other independent spacers, and usually performed the work for a fair price. Usually, outlaw techs were able to procure military-grade or prototype systems, to augment the stock systems of starships that needed additional speed or armament. They often had the skills to forge starship IDs and Authority Waivers. Most, if not all, of this work was done on a no-questions-asked basis, as the outlaw techs had as much to lose as the starship owners if the modifications were discovered. (HSE, CSA)

OutlawTech
This company, named for the breed of mechanics who would perform most illegal modifications for a fair price, developed several lock-breaking and combination-detection tools during the early years of the New Republic. (TTSB)

Outlier Systems
A collection of star systems in the Corellian Sector which were extremely introverted. They were by far the most secretive worlds in the sector, and have been said to make the Corellian System look open-minded. Many of the Corellian System's Imperial functionaries fled that system following the death of Emperor Palpatine, and took up residence in the Outlier Systems. There, they regained policital offices, and work with the Diktat to govern the sector. (AC)

Outlink Four
This was the designation of an unfinished Outlink, attached to the Spaarti Creations facility on Cartao during the height of the Clone Wars. Pilester Binalie never revealed the existence of the fourth Outlink, since it was never fully completed. However, it was later used as a was to free Commander Roshton and the forces of the Army of the Republic which were trapped inside the Spaarti complex by Separatist armies. (SWI70)

Outlink One
This was one of three storage facilities maintained by Spaarti Creations, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Outlink One was located near an apartment complex which served as living quarters for the non-married employees of Spaarti Creations. (SWI68)

Outlink Three

This Imperial Carrack-class cruiser served as a recon ship during the Battle of Nar Shaddaa. (THG)

Outpost
This Imperial deep-space platform was the base used by the shuttle Tydirium, before it was captured by the Alliance prior to the Battle of Endor. (XWA)

Outpost 5440
This was the name given to the Imperial outpost that was established in Ugnorgrad, on the floating facility known as the Ugnaught Surface, during the Imperial occupation of Bespin. After the Imperials were driven off Cloud City, the outpost was abandoned. The Ugnaughts reclaimed the facility, and turned it into housing, business facilities, and a HoloNet relay station. (PH)

Outpost 8
This was the designation used to describe one of the largest chunks of frozen rock and ice which orbited in the ring around the planet Constancia. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Outpost 8 was one of a multitude of asteroids that were used by the natives of Constancia as defensive positions. Like its companions, Outpost 8 was studded with a variety of turbolaser and ion weapons, which could be brought to bear on starships intruding on Constancia's system. (LAT1)

Outpost Beta
This Rebel sentry station, located on Hoth, reported the drop of the Imperial Army just before the Battle of Hoth. The commander at Outpost Beta was protrayed by James Eckhouse in the Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (E5R)

Outpost Cinder
This Alliance Special Forces base was established on a ridge overlooking the Empire's Bid'Jerma Detention Block, in an effort to liberate the high concentration of Alliance prisoners at the facility. (HAS)

Ou'tranoi
An alien device of unknown powers and usage. (RPG)

Outreachial
The lizardfly species inhabited the cliffs located above this city. (SWCP)

Outrider
Dash Rendar's modified Corellian Engineering Corporation YT-2400 freighter, the Outrider was painted ebony black to blend in with the depths of space. Rendar had taken the stock YT-2400 and added a KGDefender ion engine system, a Griffyn/Y2TG hyperdrive, and a pair of modified Dymek double laser cannons. Much of the upgrade and modification work was done by Bolabo Hujaan on Byblos. (SE, EGV, SESB)

Outrider Ganglia
This was the term used to describe the tendrils which hung from the body of a Yuuzhan Vong worldship. These membranous tendrils were connected to a host of coralskippers, which were deployed to unfurl the ganglia into a sail-like structure. When fully deployed, the outrider ganglia acted like cosmic sails, helping to provide propulsion for the worldship. (NEGV)

Outrunner
An Alliance modified light freighter used for Project Shantipole. (SFS)

Outrunner X1
This entry-level starship booster system was produced by FreiTek, during the early years of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Outside Threat Indicator Array
Called an OTIA for short, this sensor package allowed a pilot in an unshielded TIE starfighter to quickly recognize when his ship was targetted by an enemy craft. It indicated whether the weapons on a starfighter, capital ship, or platform/station had locked on to it. (TSC)

Outsider Citadels
This was the name of the contained cities maintained for the benefit of the offworlders who lived on the planet Cerea. Because the native Cereans discouraged the use of high technology, offworlders were limited in their use to the Citadels. Many Cerean elders despised the Citadels for the pollution and waste they produced. (PTR, NEGA)

Outstanding Threat to Order
This was essentially an order of martial law, used by the leaders of the planet Junction 5 during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was enforced whenever an enemy of the state was loose on the planet. (LOJ)

Outward Bound
This modified Vangaard Pathfinder was owned and operated by Jobany Cyrs. The ship had been in his family for several generations, and was considered an heirloom. It was virtually in original condition, with minor modifications to its computer and drive systems. (BSS)

Outworlder City
A city on the planet Ergeshui. In the Ergesh language, the name of the city was Oorglush, which can be translated as Dry Ground, Safe At Last, or Sanity. Outworlder City was covered by a transparent dome that allows the inhabitants to control the climate to suit their needs. It was built to allow off-worlders visiting Ergesh to live in comfort, if they weren't used to the swampy environment. Very few Ergesh enter the city, considering it too sterile. It was connected to Erglush by the planet's living monorail, a system of vines that grow bean-shaped pods. These pods travel along the vines via expuslion of natrual gases and photsynthetic charges. (PG2)

Outworlds
This was an area of the galaxy far from most hyperspace routes. (MC16)

Ouwray, Ekam
This Imperial governor replaced Stant Rosswell on Indu San. Where Rosswell maintained the New Order while allowing the natives to thrive, Ouwray was a hard-line supporter of Palpatine's doctrines. Many of the favors that business leaders on Indu San had obtained under Rosswell dried up, and Ouwray was despised. When the natives rose up against him, Ouwray fled the system in a show of cowardice that rivaled his staunch support of the New Order. (SWJ6)

Ov Taraba
This was one of the most prominent - and expensive - universities of the planet Onderon. It was established some 4,000 years before the advent of the New Order. (TOJC)

OV600
This truth serum, created by 'Geneering Products, detects the physical symptoms of a lie and reacts to them. OV600 causes the victim's flesh to break out in a painful rash. If the lies were strong enough, the drug had the capabability to induce so much pain that the victim dies. (CFG)

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

Ova
This planet suddenly collapsed in upon itself and disappeared, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. The collapse of the planet caught a starship which was passing by, dragging the ship and its crew into an infinite abyss. The Jedi Council feared that the planet's collapse was somehow related to the Witches of Dathomir. They had found a small temple on Ova, which bore markings and glyphs that told of Dathomir as the source of the temple's power. The destruction of Ova caused a distortion in the space around the planet, disrupting interstellar traffic for many weeks. This distortion forced the Jedi mission to rescue Quinlan Vos to be delayed, stranding Quin on Dathomir for many days beyond his mission's parameters. (SWIE)

Over the Rile
This was a section of Bridis City, on Bridin Anchorage. (GG11)

Overden
This was the Selonian term for the insurgent group that rose to power during the years following the Battle of Endor. By the time of the Corellian Incident, the Overden had gained a great deal of power, and was ostensibly in control of Selonia. The Overden received even more power when it was approached by the Sacorrian Triad, which made a deal with the Overden. Under the terms of the deal, the Overden became a disruptive influence in the Corellian System, shielding the Triad's true motivations from the New Republic. (AS, NECH)

Overdriver
This was the entry-level starship reactor core that was produced by the Mon Calamari during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Overdriver
This was a generic term used to describe a starship modification package that allowed the ship's drive systems to work more efficiently, safely producing more power than what the vessel's base specifications allowed. This additional power could then be translated into thrust by a booster or booster overdriver. (SWG2P)

Overdriver S2
This was an upgraded version of the basic Overdriver reactor core that was produced by the Mon Calamari during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Overhang
This was the name given to the inhabited area just outside the main spaceport of the planet Entralla, located within the boundary of Nexus City. The majority of the beings living in the Overhang were native to Entralla, and worked menial jobs at the spaceport. Very little sunlight reached the population of this area, since it was blocked out by the tall buildings. (SWJ4, OWS)

Overkill
This was the snide nickname used by the designers of the Pelagia Duplex Command to describe the prototype Orphanmaker assault gunship that was ordered by Baron Karoll Cilarnus, during the era of the Great Sith War. The nickname stemmed from the fact that Baron Cilarnus wanted to double the already impressive weaponry of the Orphanmaker. When Cilarnus was unable to pay for his order, development on the Overkill was halted. No Tapani Sector military wanted to buy it, since the additional weaponry meant that the ships gunners were often in each other's firing lines. Thus, the ship was eventually sold at a loss to the Moomo Brothers. They refitted the gunship and renamed it the Moomo Williwaw. (KORH)

Overkreetle
This was a large, dominant subspecies of kreetle that was native to the planet Tatooine. (SWG2P)

Overlook, The
This was another name for the mountain Teldanus, located on the planet Goroth Prime. (GSE)

Overlord, Belgar
This man and his partner, Roth Skimm, were a pair of freelance explorers who stumbled upon a habitable world on the edge of the Core Worlds some 600 years before the Battle of Naboo. They named the planet Belgaroth, and the system became known as the Belgaroth System. Before they could turn the system into a way station and turn a profit for their efforts, however, they shot and killed each other over a disputed game of cards. (CCW)

Overmind
The name given to the controlling consciousness of the taurill. It controls all of its individual minds at one time, although it tends to get distracted very easily. (DS)

Overracer
see Mobquet Overracer (DARK)

Overracer
This Mobquet speeder bike design, produced during the height of the New Order, measured 4.4 meters in length and could attain speeds in excess of 500 kilometers an hour. These speederbikes could be armed with a light blaster cannon, and were often equipped with passive sound dampers and other sensor-fooling systems, allowing a rider to swiftly infiltrate and escape an enemy position. (RASB, DARK)

Oversector
As described in the Tarkin Doctrine, an Oversector was an area of the galaxy that was delineated by those star systems in which open rebellion was just starting. As described by Grand Moff Tarkin, existing sector boundaries no longer mattered, as any existing sectors would simply be included in an Oversector's boundaries. The combined military might of the Oversector's attendant Imperial fleet could then be used to quell any rebellious activities. Tarkin himself recommended that three Sector Groups be assigned to each Oversector. (ISB, DSTC, OWS)

Oversector Outer
This Imperial Oversector was the first such area defined by Emperor Palpatine, and was set up for Grand Moff Tarkin. It contained much of the Outer Rim Territories, allowing Tarkin to construct the first Death Star in relative secrecy, while bringing many unlawful and rebellious planets under Imperial control. (DSTC, DSTR)

Overseer
This Acclamator-class assault ship was pressed into customs duty, during the early months of the New Order. The Overseer and her escort intercepted the freighter Second Chance in the Tion Cluster, after Rej Taunt blasted away from a meeting with the Colicoids. Taunt had a cargo of illegal buzz droids that was attacking his ship, and his crew managed to jettison them. Unfortunately, the buzz droids then attacked the Overseer, ripping through the ship's hull and drilling into its engine systems. Within minutes, the buzz droids caused enough damage to cause the Overseer to explode. (MF)

Overseer of Prison Worlds
This was the title given to the being - a member of the Old Republic's Senate security committee - who oversaw the activities and maintenace of the Republic's many prison facilities. (JQ8)

Overt
This training vessel was one of many that were maintained by the Old Republic, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (DSTR)

Overtown
This was the pleasure sector of Corint City, and was the primary center of pro-Imperial sentiments during the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ10)

Overwrite Probe
This small computer spike was used to quickly overwrite a aection of computer memory with a preset piece of code. These devices were often used to change the Identify Friend or Foe designation of a starship, altering its identity to help the crew carry out its mission. (RCTC)

O-Via
This Keganite woman worked in the Animal Circle, and was a friend of O-Melie. (FFT)

Oviedo, Lorca
This man was the Director of Oviedo Engineering, during the last years of the Old Republic. Distinguished by his impeccable clothing and flowing mustaches, Oviedo tried to make a small fortune by negotiating with Wat Tambor of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Oviedo had already agreed to sell his weapons systems to the Grand Army of the Republic, and was planning to allow the Separatists to use special identification chips in the weapons to track the locations and movements of the Republic's ground forces. In order to ensure the success of this plan, Director Oviedo arranged for a malfunction aboard his starship, while returning from a conference on Aviles Prime. The malfunction forced the ship to revert to realspace near Asturias, where it was attacked by Separatist forces. Oviedo's ship managed to land on the remote moon, as did a handful of the clone commanos assigned to protect him. It was the clones who discovered Oviedo's plans, which might have allowed the sale of rigged weapons to occur, even as it made Oviedo something of a hero for surviving the "attack." Oviedo even tried to bribe the commandos, but their loyalty to the Old Republic was absolute. He was returned to Coruscant by commando Theta-288, the only member of his squad to survive the affair. Unfortunately, Oviedo died from "sudden respiratory failure" before he could be interrogated. It was unclear whether his death was a suicide or not. (T22)

Oviedo Engineering
This vast research and development organization expanded its corporate portfolio many years before the onset of the Clone Wars, branching out to manufacture a variety of military vehicles and weapons systems. Oviedo Engineering was forced to dismantle its operations after its Director, Lorca Oveido, was arrested on conspiracy charges after faking his death and plotting to sell rigged weaponry to Wat Tambor and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. (T22)

O-Vieve
This ancient Keganite woman ruled the planet with V-Tan some thirteen years prior to the Battle of Naboo. They were known as the Benevolent Guides, and revered the prophesies which claimed that a visitation by the Jedi Knights would destroy Kegan society. To this end, they perpetuated the belief in the General Good and kept Kegan isolated from the rest of the galaxy. O-Vieve herself was somewhat precient, and had visions of the purge of the Jedi Knights and the legions of stormtroopers enforcing Emperor Palpatine's New Order. Unfortunately, Qui-Gon Jinn and Adi Gallia - the two Jedi Masters on Kegan to determine the Force sensitivity of O-Lana - couldn't believe that such an evil force would one day take control of the galaxy, and ignored her visions. However, as the Jedi revealed more and more about the greater galaxy, the Keganite population began to doubt the rulership of O-Vieve and V-Tan. In the end, the populace voted to overthrow the Benevolent Guides and join the Old Republic. (FFT)

Oviloid
This mammalian creature was known for the large litters produced by the females, in which the cubs were neatly arranged in the nest. (SWED)

Ovirite
This carbonate ore was one of the most common ores mined in the galaxy. (SWGAL)

Ovise I

Ovise II
This was the second planet in the Ovise System, found in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. (GMR9)

Ovise III
This planet, the third world in the Ovise System of Moddell Sector, was an urban world dominated by factories. Because of the unregulated growth of industry on the planet, Ovise III was considered a polluted world by the time the New Republic took control of the Inner Zuma region. (GMR9)

Ovise IV
This was the fourth planet in the Ovise System, found in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. (GMR9)

Ovise V
This gas giant was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. It was orbited by several inhabitable moons, and was known as a source of tibanna gas. (GMR9)

Ovkhevam
This Noghri male was a member of the clan Bakh'tor, and was one of the many who worked the verdant canyon known as the "future of Honoghr" during the early years of the New Republic. It was Ovkhevam who greeted Luke Skywalker when he arrived on Honoghr to repair his starship. (TLC)

Ovolyan
A large, bantha-sized reptiloid native to Laboi II, the ovolyan were the primary prey for the Laboi. In turn, the oyolyan hunt small Laboi for food. (GG4)

Ovrax IV
The planet on which Evar Orbus purchased Snit. (TJP)

Ovvit
This Chev served as one of the starfighter pilots who worked for Byalfin Dyur aboard the Boneyard Rendezvous, during the years following the Swarm War. Ovvit was killed on Ziost by Ben Skywalker, who managed to use the Force to dislodge several heavy boulders and drop them on Ovvit's TIE Fighter. (LF4)

Ow
This was the white star that was the binary of Roti, at the center of the Roti-Ow System. (GG4)

Owaw
This name was common among Ithorian females. Although such names do not generally have meaning, Ithorians who studied their race's history learned that the name referred to the leaves of the pale green waw tree. (GCG)

Oweg
This man served the Empire as a Captain in the Imperial Navy, and was in command of the Valiant during the height of the New Order. (ISB)

Owell
This was one of the many Ferroans who were living on the planet Zonama Sekot during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Like Darak and Rowel, Owell eventually came to trust Luke Skywalker and the Jedi Knights who arrived on the planet to seek its assistance in resolving the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. When Zonama Sekot made a blind jump into hyperspace to avoid the sabotage of Nom Anor, the Ferroans were forced to flee underground to avoid the ecological damage that occurred on the surface. Owell, along with Darak and Rowel, made many trips into the wilderness to look for survivors, often with the help of the Jedi. (UF)

Owen, Nile
This Imperial Moff was in control of Rayter Sector during the Galactic Civil War. He was a thin man with hawk-like features, and although he always wore his military attire, Owen also preferred furred cloaks. Owen's demeanor was one of controlled force, and he was an intimidating individual to most people. He was a model Imperial officer, and served on several Victory-class Star Destroyers before advancing to the position of Rayter Sector Moff. When the Farool Brothers approached him with a plan to discredit the Alliance, he grudgingly supported it. He allowed them to capture Crying Dawn Singer, but when Nak Farool issued a holotransmission stating that Owen was unsympathetic and couldn't assist in rescuing the Shashay, Owen became furious. He executed Nak Farool on the spot, and commanded Jonnas Perrsta to contain the Shashay. When the Alliance stepped in to rescue Crying Dawn Singer, Owen ordered the Impending Doom to cut them off. Neither objective was met, and Owen carried a deep-seated grudge for the Alliance and its agents from that point on. In the months leading up to the Battle of Endor, Moff Owen took out his frustration by executing an entire company of soldiers from the First Sun Mobile Regiment, after the soldiers killed a group of Alliance troops before they could be brought in for questioning. This forced Maska Zural to re-evaluate his group's alliance with the Empire, bringing about an end to the Imperial contracts that were offered to the First Sun unit. (TA, SWJ15, OWS)

Owens, Tully
This man made his home in the walled city of Cjaalysce'I, on Socorro. There, he worked as the cheif mechanic at the docking piers, and his crews were known for their adherence to Caelli-Merced standards.

OWO-1
This was one of the command battle droids sent by Nute Gunray to check to see if Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi had been killed by poison gas, shortly after they were dispatched to resolve the Trade Federation's blockade of Naboo. Distinguished by its yellow coloration, OWO-1 had a communications package built into its backpack, and provided audio and video back to Gunray's command center until it was cut down by the Jedis' lightsabers. (IS1)

Owool Interceptor
This innovative starfighter was developed and produced by KashyCorp, during the years following the Swarm War. Many military observers likened the Owool to the Wookiees who produced them: heavy fighters that were tough, fast, and ferocious. The Wookiees of KashyCorp were to deliver a shipment of Owool Interceptors to the Galactic Alliance, during the height of the Alliance's conflict with The Confederation, but the leaders of the Rock Council decided to remove their support for the Alliance after hearing that the Jedi Order had done the same. (LF6)

Owphrin
This was one of the seven major clans of Ammuud. (CSA)

Owr'apa
This deadly predator roamed the fungal plains of the planet Yvara, feeding on the abundant zeebucks and inept Yvarema. Owr'apa were ambush predators, submerging themselves in watering holes and waiting for their prey to get too close to the water. Once prey was selected, the owr'apa lunged out of the water, taking the creature by surprise and dragging it back underwater. Owr'apa had a specialized breathing snorkel which allowed them to breath while underwater. (KR)

Owriss
A harmless, blob-like creature found in the forests of Endor's Sanctuary Moon. (ECAR)

Ox
This clone trooper was a member of Tango Company, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Ox distinguished himself from the other members of the unit by placing a decal of a strange, one-eyed creature on the armor plating that covered his left upper arm. During the mission to capture Poggle the Lesser on Geonosis, Ox was one of the first troopers to be infected by a brain worm, after Scythe brought a clutch of eggs into their barrracks. Once aboard the medical frigate TB-73, Ox and Edge seemingly ignored their training and opened fire on Barriss Offee and Ahsoka Tano, the two Jedi Padawans were escorting them to Ord Cestus. However, the two clones were no match for the Jedi, and Ox was soon rendered unconscious. They were tended by Havoc, who was unable to restrain both clones when they regained consciousness. They held Havoc still until a brain worm could enter his skull, adding Havoc to their plans to take control of the ship and infect the Ord Cestus Medical Center. (CWTV30)

O'x na att
This Sullustan request, often heard at barbershops and salons, translated into Basic as "(I'd like a) Shave, please." (GPB)

Oxbel
This Devaronian was living on the planet Tatooine at about the same time Labria was living in Mos Eisley, during the months prior to the Battle of Yavin. Oxbel was Labria's brother and, like Labria, arrived on Tatooine and never found the desire to leave. Unlike his brother, however, Oxbel had no ambition to make something of himself. He made a meager living selling worthless information gathered from his drunken stupors in the alleys of Mos Eisley. (GG7, TME, WOTC)

Oxic, Lestra
This man was a noted collector of antiques and artifacts from the golden age of the Galactic Republic. A lawyer by trade, Oxic was distinguished by his height, which was emphasized by his thin body and long limbs, as well as his impeccable appearance. He began his practice during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, and made a name for himself on Coruscant as a defense lawyer. However, instead of serving the Republic, Oxic chose to represent those beings who were accused of undermining the efforts of Chancellor Palpatine and his cronies. In the years following the Clone Wars, Oxic's law firm dwindled in size, but he was able to continue his work because of the vast fortune he had amassed over the years. Oxic moved his practice to the planet Epica, and began using part of his fortune to pay for medical rejuvenation, maintaining his youth well beyond his actual age. One of his many clients was Senator Des'sain, and it was from the Senator that Oxic learned of the Stellar Envoy and its place as the key to a treasure that could restore the Republic. Oxic never forgot the story.

Nearly a decade before the onset of the Yuuzhan Vong War, Oxic began collecting bits and pieces of Republicana. Some of his fondest memories were of living on Coruscant during the years before the Clone Wars, and his desire to collect Republicana was born more out of love than profit. Oxic's collection of Republicana artifacts was quite impressive, and included a fluted pedestal from 500 Republica and several other pieces reminiscent of Galactic City architecture. Unknown to most beings, however, was that Oxic's most prized possession was not an inanimate object, but the inert body of Tobb Jadak. Oxic knew of Jadak's connection to the freighter known as the Stellar Envoy from Senator Des'sain, and hoped that Jadak might help him locate the treasure that was linked to the ship. After locating Jadak's body in a public hospital on Nar Shaddaa, Oxic had him transferred to the Aurora Medical Facility on Obroa-skai, where Doctor Lial Sompa cared for Jadak until he could be revived.

In the interim, Oxic hired Koi Quire to keep an eye of Jadak's case, drawing on the fact that she worked for the insurance company that covered Jadak's policy. When she reported that Jadak had finally come out of his coma, some forty-three years after the Battle of Yavin, Oxic ordered Cynner and Remata to collect the man. Their attempt failed, forcing Oxic to intercept him on Nar Shaddaa. Their attempt only spooked Jadak, and the two decided to draw their weapons in an effort bring him in. This attempt failed, and they were forced to report to Oxic without Jadak in their grasp. Adding to Oxic's concerns was an upcoming legal case in which he was representing the Colicoid Creation Nest and Phlac-Arphocc Automata in their petition to be reinstated as a weapons manufacturer. Although the high-profile case was thrown out of court when the key Colicoid witness was kidnapped and Oxic could not fully state his case, Oxic learned that one of the kidnappers might have been Tobb Jadak. He also learned that the kidnapping had been orchestrated by Rej Taunt, who was a rival to Oxic in the collecting world.

Oxic nearly lost Jadak's trail, until Lial Sompa told him that Han Solo had been on Obroa-skai to talk to Parlay Thorp, one of the early owners of the Millennium Falcon. Sompa realized that the ship might be the Stellar Envoy, and told Oxic that the Solos were headed to Vaced to find Quip Fargil. Oxic reasoned that Jadak might also be headed to Vaced, and sent his thugs out to intercept the ship. Oxic himself followed shortly afterward, and was able to keept Cynner and Remata from being arrested for trying to steal the Millennium Falcon. Although the Solos were able to recover the ship, Oxic discovered that Druul had rented droids to Jadak and Flitcher Poste. The Gran was able to make contact with a tracking unit that was still aboard the ship, and alerted Oxic to the fact that the ship was headed to Tandun Three. Oxic and Koi Quire set out in his ship, and intercepted the Solo group in one of the many ruins that were found on the planet. There, the Millennium Falcon proved to be the key to opening the temple, which allowed the group to discover the Insignia of Unity hidden within. As the temple began to crumble around them, Oxic laid claim to the emblem, only to discover that it was a fake. Denied his prize but not defeated, Oxic offered to pay Jadak and Poste for their assistance in tracking down the real Insignia of Unity. Jadak quickly agreed, as did Poste, and they fled from the temple before it could collapse on top of them. He offered to take the Solos with them, but Han refused to leave without the Millennium Falcon. (MF)

Oxidizer
This was the brand name of Gandorthral Atmospherics' basic breathing mask. It was unusual among similar devices in that its complex scrubber system never needed to be replaced, just recharged. However, the Oxidizer required that the wearer be in an atmosphere that had moderate levels of oxygen which could be extracted. Thus, it was not effective in the vacuum of space. (AEG)

Oxidizer Foam
Originally developed to scour the surface of raw metallic objects, oxidizer foam was discovered to be the only effective chemical for the extermination of stone mites. When sprayed on stone mites, oxidizer foam literally caused the creatures to rust to death. (CVD)

Oxin
This Alliance container group was supplying Admiral Harkov and the Protector fleet in the Ottega System, during the height of the Galactic Civil War.

Oxsor, Fahs
This famous smuggler was an Issori, and was known for his flamboyant escapades against the Empire. His family was almost fanatical in their political beliefs, but Fahs was overwhelmed by their beliefs and fled Issor to pursue a life of adventure. He joined Toob Ancher aboard the Glory as a gunner and first mate. Fahs retired to Redcap were more than ten years of evading the Empire, and took up the work of a miner. (SWJ5, SWJ13)

Oxygen Symbiote
This clear, gelatinous creature was native to the planet Calamari. It had the ability to filter pure oxygen from water. The Mon Calamari used them as breathing masks when swimming in the Calamari seas. The symbiote was placed over the nose and mouth, and it adhered to the skin. The symbiote then filtered oxygen to the wearer's nose and mouth while keeping the water out. (DA)

Oxywater
This was the name, used by the Sunesi and other races, to describe bacta. (SWJ10)

Oya
This Mandalorian command meant "Let's go!" Because it stemmed equally from the verbs oyacyir and oya'karir, it literally meant "Let's live!" or "Let's hunt!" (SWI86)

Oya
This ubiquitous Mando'a expresson had many meanings, although all were triumphant and positive in nature. Depending on the context, it could mean "Let's hunt!" or "Stay alive!", but it could also mean "Hooray!" or "Cheers!" When used in the context of a gathering or meeting, it meant "Let's go, let's get on with it!" It could also be used to wish another individual good luck, or to indicate when one had just received good news. (OWS, LF5, RCTC)

Oya Manda
This Mandalorian exclamation lacked any single translation into the Basic language. Instead, it was a cultural expression of a Mandalorian's pride and solidarity. The word Oya literally meant "to hunt," but its derivation from the verb oyacyir leaving linguists to theorize that the phrase stemmed from a common wish for hunters to return alive. However, it could also be used as a "Hoorah!" to cheer the triumphs of life. (OWS)

Oyacye
This was the Mando'a word for "hunting," stemming from the verb oya'karir. It was similar to oya'cye, the word for "life," a fact that was based in the cultural belief that life was a hunt for inner strength and identity. (SWI86)

The Oyu'baat was believed to have been established well before the Great Sith War, and remained open at all hours of the day and night. The Oyu'baat served one of the thickest, sweetest brews of net'ra gal in the galaxy, and was said to have a never-ending supply of narcolethe. At the time of the Clone Wars, it was said that the stew pot from which most meals were served had been simmering for more than a thousand years, and the cooks just threw in more meat and vegetables as needed. (LF5, RC66)

Ozz
This Ugnaught was the King of his people, leading the Terend Council from the city of Ugnorgrad, during the early years of the New Republic. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, the 200-year-old Ozz worked hard to make Cloud City a better place for the Ugnaughts to live, a goal that was made easier by Lando Calrissian's humanitarian stance on employing the Ugnaughts. Ozz, a former employee of Planet Dreams, Incorporated, put his own skills to use in the development of the Ugnaught Surface.

After Calrissian fled Cloud City and the outpost was garrisoned by the Empire, Ozz found himself and his people virtually enslaved by Imperial Governor Treece, who exploited Ugnaught labor to cover up his own embezzlement of Imperial funds. Ozz and his Ugnaughts staged an insurrection against Imperial Captain Treece in the wake of the Battle of Hoth, planting a series of twelve bombs around Cloud City and hoping to destroy it once and for all. When Calrissian returned to try and liberate the city, Ozz reluctantly agreed to accept his help. Together, they managed to defeat Treece's forces and evict the Imperal garrison from the outpost. (EGA, SWDB, MC57, PH, GORW, SWI94)

Ozzel, Kendal
A native of Carida, Kendal Ozzel was the last in a long line of land owners on the planet. As the second son, Kendal was not his father's designated heir, and joined the Imperial armed forces to prove himself. It was rumored that Ozzel gained his position because his family had close ties to the Imperial Navy, especially after he attained the rank of Admiral. It was Ozzel who presided over the dishonorable discharge of Han Solo, after the young cadet ignored his superior officer's orders and freed a Wookiee slave. Ozzel then served for many years as the Captain of the Star Destroyer Reprisal, patrolling the Shelsha Sector of the galaxy. He got mixed up in the treachery of Governor Barshnis Choard and the BloodScar Pirates, carrying out the destruction of the BloodScar base on Gepparin to help Choard cover his tracks. This earned him the notice of the Emperor's Hand, Mara Jade, who later asked Darth Vader himself to keep an eye on Ozzel's actions. It was also believed that Ozzel was once the Captain of the Imperial-II class Star Destroyer Interrogator. Ozzel was later promoted to Admiral and given the command of the Star Destroyer Executor, a move that allowed the Imperial Naval Staff to keep an eye on Vader while he hunted down the Alliance. Ozzel was placed in charge of the fleet that attacked Hoth, and brought the fleet out of lightspeed just outside the Hoth System. He felt that the surprise arrival of the fleet would shock the Alliance. Instead, the presence of the fleet was quickly noted by the Alliance, which gave them time to prepare their escape. Ozzel was killed by Vader for his failure to cleanly capture the Hoth base. (E5, E5R, MTS, THG, OWS, A, SWI96)

Ozzel, Mann
This man, a distant ancestor of Imperial Admiral Kendal Ozzel, was generally credited with organizing the trading of Carida's mineral rights to offworld concerns. These actions brought the Ozzel family, as well as the planet, great wealth over time. (SWDB)
