P-100 Salvage Droid
These small, dome-shaped automaton were built by Serv-O-Droid during the final decades of the Old Republic. Based on Cyrillian designs, the P-100 salvage droid was used by scrap collectors to gather up metallic debris and carry it to a processing facility. Measuring just under three meters across, the P-100 salvage droid moved about on heavy-duty repulsorlift engines, and was equipped with four heavy-duty manipulator arms. These arms hung down below the main body, and could grasp all manner of debirs. Although originally designed for use in scrapyards, the P-100 was popular on the podracing circuit as both a salvage droid and a search-and-rescue unit. The use of P-100 droids to locate injured beings eventually spread to other venues. These droids were also programmed to seek out large pests or vermin on many urban planets, such as Coruscant. Note that Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace indicates that the P-100 was the larger, cylindrical recovery droid that worked alongside the P-100. These larger droids had a pair of circular wings that extended from the main cylinder, and were equipped with re-grav plates to pick up the scrap. Modified conveyor belts carried the debris into the holding bays, located inside the central cylinder. Also stored within the main cylinder were three of the dome-shaped salvage droids. (IWE1, SWDB, NEGD)

P-12
This was a model of Sirplex shield generator, used on starships such as the ZH-25 Questor. (SS)

P127
The designation of Astronav's top-of-the-ine starship course plotter. It could plot multiple-jump courses in no time. (IJ)

P2-D19
This outdated P2-series astromech repair droid was stationed aboard the Black Ice. Skolos programmed P2-D19 to attack the team of Alliance agents which was attempting to take control of the Black Ice. (BI)

P2-series Droid
This was Industrial Automaton's first attempt to build an astromech droid. Large and cumbersome, the P2-series was eventually scrapped when Industrial Automaton was served with a technology-infringement lawsuit by former executives of Industrial Intelligence. However, after the suit was settled, the basic design of the P2 series was reused in the development of the R2 series. These droids were plagued by a series of minor, though annoying, design glitches, including a poorly-coded maneuverability routine that caused the P2 to bump into objects. Also, the P2 could only communicate via its viedo screen or an input jack, making their application to certain starship systems tricky. The P2 was controlled by the Intellex II computer brain. (IG1, BI, FTD, SWJ7)

P-34
This Mobquet combat speeder was designed for use by the Empire. However, it never got beyond the prototype stage, as its basic design failed to meet the Empire's minimum requirements. (GSE)

P-38
see Porax-38 (X3)

P-38 Jenta
This variant of the Porax-38 starfighter was designed by the Utapauns to serve as a ground assault vessel. In addition to the pair of laser cannons that served as the Porax-38's weaponry, the Jenta carried primitive ion bombs that could be dropped on an enemy target. These ion bombs were essentially dumb bombs, since they relied on stabilized fins to remain on target. This meant that the ion bombs could only be used in an atmosphere, but they were capable of destroying the electrical systems of any technology in the blast radius. (SSOG)

P39
This A9-series driller droided worked for the Tredway family in the mines of 24 Tredway, in the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt. After Imperial Governor Parnell attacked 24 Tredway and killed Axton Tredway's wife, P39 and a group of other droids sacrificed themselves to allow Luke Skywalker, Gideon Smith, and Sidney Shortfang to rescue Dena Tredway from harm. (JH)

P-59
This destroyer droid was in command of the group sent to kill Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, after the Jedi managed to survive the poison gas and squadron of battle droids sent to assassinate them. The Jedi were aboard the Trade Federation command ship at the request of Chanceller Valorum, who hoped to settle their dispute with the planet Naboo. P-59 and its companions were the first of the destroyer droids to have shield generators installed for added protection. (IS1)

P-6
This was one of the many repair droids that were owned by Star Tours, during the Galactic Civil War. P-6 was little more than an articulated arm that moved about on a set of wheels, and it was charged with inspecting incoming luggage for illegally-imported plants or animals, and disinfected luggage that might carry microscopic lifeforms. (ST, SWI104)

P-60
This destroyer droid was part of the group sent to kill Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, after the Jedi managed to survive the poison gas and squadron of battle droids sent to assassinate them. The group of destroyers was under the command of unit P-59, and its members were the first of the destroyer droids to have shield generators installed for added protection. (CCG13)

P7
This was the designation of Naescorcom's personal trauma kit, which was included in the basic medical supplies of many mining operations in the Cularin System, during the final years of the Old Republic. The kit contained a sophisticated medisensor unit, similar to the BioTech RFX/K unit, that could help diagnose the condition of an injured being. (MCT1)

P-71
This was Drolan Plasteel's version of the Wookiee crossbow. It was produced many centuries before the Galactic Civil War, and was essentially a repeating projectile launcher contained in a stylish, plasteel shell. (NEGW)

Pa
Meaning "late", 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)

Pa Tho
This race created the unusual transportation system later known as the Great Subcrustal Tubeway before they died out. (TT)

PA90,842-N024/B

PA-9r
This long range, phased tachyon detection array was part of Fabritech's ANs-5c and ANs-5d sensor systems, was first produced during the final years of the Old Republic. (SCRE, TSC)

Pa'aal
Tal Fraan learned the ways of the human race while stationed on this moon, the primary natural satellite of the fifth planet in the N'zoth system. It was here that the Yevetha confined all the Imperials they captured when they took control of the Black Sword shipyards, shortly after the Battle of Endor. (SOL, TT)

Paaerduag
This race of unusual, two-headed beings was native to the planet Sorjus. (KOTOR)

Paak
This bald-headed man, distinguished by the green and purple tattooes that covered his skull and neck, was one of the primary members of the Anti-Republic Liberation Front, which was active on the planet Serenno during the years following the Battle of Ruusan. Paak joined Hetton in pushing the ARLF's agenda forward, but was greatly concerned when Kelad'dan brought his lover, Rainah, to a meeting. Kelad'dan and Rainah suggested a plan to assassinate former Supreme Chancellor Tarsus Valorum, despite the fact that the ARLF has already planned to kidnap several prominent officials during the local Armistice Celebrations. The attempt on Valorum's life would move their plans up by several months, and possibly disrupt their work. Although Paak refused to accept the mission without Hetton's approval, Kelad'dan's impassioned speeches eventually swayed the other members of the group.

Action on the detailed information provided by Rainah, the ARLF planted explosives around the landing platform where Valorum was supposed to arrive. Although the explosives worked as planned, taking out the shuttle New Dawn, Valorum managed to escape when he was pulled to safety by his Jedi companion, Johun Othone. The members of the ARLF paused briefly when they realized that they were facing a Jedi Knight, and one of their members tried to escape. Kelad'dan cut him down before he could run, forcing Paak and Cyndra to abandon the mission all together.

He and Cyndra later caught up to Rainah, who was actually the apprentice of the only surviving Sith Lord, Darth Bane, and brought her to see Hetton. Zannah refused to be interrogated, and used the Dark Side of the Force to cause Cyndra to experience horrific visions, driving her insane. Paak tried to draw his blaster and shoot Zannah, but she used her lightsaber to deflect his shots. One of these deflected blasts caught Paak between the eyes, destroying his brain and killing him instantly. (DBRT)

Paal, Nadin
This Gran served as a sort of trade envoy for the criminal organization run by Nirama during the last decades of the Old Republic. Nadin Paal's role was to interface between Nirama's organization and the planetary officials of the Cularin System, ensuring that there was no misunderstanding about Nirama's outward goals. Riboga the Hutt once put a conditional bounty on Nadin Paal's head, a bounty which could only be claimed if the Gran was captured outside the Cularin System. This forced him to remain a member of the criminal underworld, although he longed to find more respectable work. Nirama, for his part, trusted Nadin implicitly, and was grateful that the Gran remained loyal to him over the years. When Len Markus fled Cularin, Nadin Paal was elevated to serve as Nirama's right-hand man. (LFC, LFCW, MCT2)

Paaloc
This rare form of Yuuzhan Vong incense was burned by only the most exalted individuals of their species. Any individual not of sufficient social status caught with the incense was subject to execution for overstepping their bounds. The scent of burning paaloc was said to resemble that of the ancient and forgotten Yuuzhan Vong homeworld, and was only recognizable as a distant memory. (EVR)

Paamuk
This was one of the Ewokese words for "power." (GPB)

Paan
This species of evergreen tree was native to the planet Hapes, where it was used as a screen in decorative landscapes. Its densely-packed branch and needle structure made the paan tree an effective barrier, especially when planted in small copses. (DN1)

Paan, Tistura
This female Kel Dor was one of the members of her race to exhibit a strong connection to the Force, and she was being trained as a student of the Baran Do philosophy during the years that followed the Second Galactic Civil War. Tistura Paan was serving as a greeter at the estate of the Baran Do Sages in Dor'shan, when Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, arrived on Dorin in search of answers about Jacen Solo and his travels. Tistura Paan's role was to confront any beings who arrived on Dorin and assess their worthiness to meet with the Baran Do Sages by challenging them to a duel. If the being could defeat Tistura Paan, then they would be allowed to meet with the Sages. In this way, the Sages would know if a being was worthy to meet with, without having to admit their own shortcomings in case they were defeated. Many beings failed to understand this arrangement, and would send their best fighters against her. She was quite skilled, and was able to win more fights than she lost. Master Skywalker understood that he could defeat her and prove himself, but he also understood her position in the Baran Do order, and ordered his son to fight for him. When Ben was able to defeat Tistura Paan in unarmed combat - she pulled off his breathing apparatus to force him to fight without oxygen, and Ben used the Force to fling the apparatus at her and knock her out of the fight, claiming that she had used the apparatus to her advantage in combat first - Luke was able to maintain his own stature as Grand Master of the Jedi, without defeating a being of lower stature to prove it. Tistura Paan then took them to meet with Tila Mong, and while Luke was studying with Master Mong, Tistura Paan too Ben to spend some time with combat instructor Charsae Saal. She was sad to learn that Master Saal had accepted death, but understood that it was one of the most basic Kel Dor traditions.. (FJ1)

PaAR
This was an acronym used by the Galactic Alliance Defense Force to describe any Planning and Analysis Room, in which the military planning and operations for the Defense Force took place. The various PaARs were located in the facility known as the Dark Star, located beneath the surface of the planet Coruscant, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (DN3)

PaAR Five
This was one of the many Planning and Analysis Rooms found within the Galactic Alliance Defense Force's command center, known as the Dark Star, on Coruscant, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (DN3)

Paarin Minor
This planet was one of the thousands of worlds that saw action during the Clone Wars. The planet had been the site of a Republic stronghold that was under attack by Separatist forces. The clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic used a weather-generation machine to create an artifical cloud cover over their location, which kept the Separatist forces from seeing them until it was too late. As the Separatist ships emerged from the clouds, the Republic's ground-based forces opened fire, decimating the enemy before the Separatists could retreat. (RDV)

Paatchi
This ancient game involved the use of large balls that were thrown or rolled onto a pre-defined playing field. The object of a game of paatchi was to knock as many of your opponent's balls off the field. (LSSM)

Pablo-Jill
This male Ongree served as a Jedi Knight during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. His participation in a mission to Ord Mantell helped bring about a temporary peace on that planet. Master Pablo-Jill never took a Padawan learner before he was dispatched with Mace Windu to confront the Separatist forces on Geonosis. Master Pablo-Jill survived the fighting on Geonosis, and later served as part of the naval forces that were dispatched to oppose General Grievous' forces during the First Battle of Coruscant. During the early stages of the fighting, Pablo-Jill flew his starsfighter into the hangars of the Invisible Hand and confronted Grievous, but was quickly killed by the cyborg warrior. (SWDB, SWI86)

Pabs, Rhe
This Pho Ph'eahian worked as a technician aboard the BioCruiser in the years following the Battle of Naboo. When the ship was rigged to self-destruct by Kern, Rhe Pabs agreed to stay behind with Uni, in an effort to hold the ship together while its inhabitants evacuated it. (JAD)

Pac
This alias was used by a Cerean male who was a member of the Cularin Militia, after he and his comrades - Mack and Grunt - decided to speak out against the "so-called Expansion Manifesto" that was attributed to Reodo Artom. The trio of soldiers believed that the document was a great description of the morals of exploration, but it failed to take into account the true necessities of combat. They agreed to participate in an interview with Yara Grugara on Eye on Cularin, but the inane reporter made a mockery of their opinions. Pac tried to salvage the interview, despite the ineptitude of his comrades, claiming that war was necessary to defending one's rights to freedom and existence. (LFCW)

PAC20
This was the model number of Fabritech's visual wrist communucation system. It provided the user with audio and video communication capabilities, allowing the user to see and hear another being. (EGW)

Paca, Magir
This Garosian was one of the leaders of the New Republic's underground on Garos IV. He was one of the original founders of the Committee of Seven for Garosian Unification, and was a close friend of Tork Winger. Paca served as an assistant to the Minister of Commerce on Garos IV when the Empire moved in to take control of the planet, and used his position to gather information and intelligence on the Empire's movements. He was discovered during an Imperial audit, but managed to elude arrest after Alex Winger discovered his name in an Imperial datafile on suspected criminals. Paca fled public service, and went into hiding to protect himself. (SWJ1)

Pace
This surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG)

Pace, Anki
This woman was a Doctor of Xenoarcheology at the University of Agamar during the second decade of the New Republic. A friend of Koyi Komad, she was knowledgeable in the area of Jedi relics and artifacts, and was concerned that many sites were being robbed of Jedi lore before they could be adequately studied and archived. Doctor Pace once told Corran Horn that a colleague had discovered a site, only to wake up the next morning to find the site scoured of artifacts and her memory erased about what she had found. Horn suspected that some of the vigilante Jedi Knights had stolen the artifacts, but he had no proof. Doctor Pace led the group of students who traveled to Bimmiel to search for ancient relics, and was one of the first to discover the remains of a Yuuzhan Vong warrior on the planet. (DTO)

Pachwenko
This Jawa, known as Patches to the moisture farmers of Tatooine because of the many patches and repairs to his cloak, was a member of the tribe that captured R2-D2 and C-3PO, just before the Battle of Yavin. (E4VG)

Pacifier
This was a model of Telgorn transport ship. The Cavrilhu Pirates used several highly-modified Pacifiers as smuggling and pirate ships. (SOP)

Pacifog
This mind-altering substance was created in an Imperial laboratory in orbit around Kadril, under the direction of Darth Vader, sometime after the Battle of Yavin. Pacifog had the unique ability to emphasize the weakest traits of beings, traits which could be used by the Empire to achieve its own goals. However, in order to ensure that Imperial troops who used pacifog were not subjected to its effects, Darth Vader ordered a huge quantity of kunda stones from Dal Quirz and the Kadrillians. Kunda stone was grown in zero-gravity labs, and could absorb and filter out pacifog. Vader planned to use the kunda stones in manufacturing filter masks for Imperial troops. Unfortunately for Vader, pacifog had an intense reaction to human biology, swiftly reducing human flesh to a frothy ooze. All known samples of pacifog were removed from the Kadril laboratory and stored in the Emperor's private facility in the Deep Core. (NEGC, LAT3, OWS)

Pacify
This was a slang term used by Alliance Intelligence operatives to describe the act of killing an enemy. (RASB)

Pacithhip
This alien race was native to the planet Shimia, in the Outer Rim Territories. The average Pacithhip had a long, pointed head that was dominated by two long, thin, pointed tusks. These tusks were atrophied versions of much larger tusks that were once used by the ancestors of modern Pacithhip to dig up roots. The nose of the Pacithhip was elephantine, although the nostrils were located close to the skull. The mouth was located as the end of the trunk. Two large, black eyes were located at the top of the skull.

The shape and size of their tusks established an individual's place in society, as there were three basic genetic patterns which led to the growth of tusks. Based on the genes they carried, an individual Pacithhip would become a warrior, a scholar, or a farmer. The body of the average Pacithhip was stout and round, with tiny legs that barely moved them along. The eyes of the Pacithhip were located on the sides of the head, providing an individual with a full 360 degrees of vision. (CCG9, AE, NEGA)

Pacnorval Defense Systems, Limited
This minor weapons manufacturer produced a wide range of sonic weapons. (EGW)

Pad
This man and his comrades, Derrin and Rell, were brutally murdered by Darth Bane, in the wake of the Battle of Ruusan. Pad, Rell, and Derrin were part of a mercenary unit that lent its support to the Brotherhood of Darkness, but they lacked any connection to the Force. Thus, they were able to survive the detonation of the thought bomb. Pad and his fellow mercenaries emerged from the fighting and tried to figure out what to do next, when Darth Bane appeared at their camp. The Sith Lord attacked them without warning, slicing Pad and Derrin to pieces and beheading Rell with his lightsaber. Two other mercenaries, Lergan and Hansh, were killed by Darth Bane's Force lightning. The surviving mercenaries were allowed to escape, in order to carry the message of Darth Bane's survival. (DBRT)

Pad
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)

Pad 12
The Flurry was parked on this landing platform on Bakura, during the struggle against the Ssi-ruuvi just after the Battle of Endor. (TB)

Pada
This was a species of intelligent, yellow-furred bipeds with pumpkin-shaped faces and clawed hands. Padas had large earflaps and a pair of short horns on their heads. They were excellent climbers, and their slit-pupiled eyes could see well in the dark. The Pada had an extremely well-developed sense of honor and a deep respect for life, and were forbidden to kill another being, even in self-defense. (JH)

Pada-Jedi
Cerasi used this somewhat derogatory term to describe Obi-Wan Kenobi. (DOD)

Padak
This bounty hunter was considered a walking weapons arsenal by his peers in Qulok's Fist. An immense man even without his yellow-gold blast armor on, Padak was known to have had just one goal in life: "to do good death." He lacked good planning and stealth skills, but made up for them with pure aggression. (DARK)

Padaunete, Thrynka
This woman served as the leader of The People's Inquest, the grass-roots Jedi watchgroup which formed during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Padaunete was one of the first beings to take up the formal protest of the training of Ludi Billane, the infant rescued from the destruction of her home city of Domitree, on Ord Thoden. The Jedi Council refused to allowed Ludi's mother Jonava, who had also survived the earthquakes, to take baby Ludi back to Ord Thoden. Padaunete then arranged for Jonava to appear on the talkshow Essence, an event that drew even more beings to their cause. In response to the show's airing, Padaunete claimed that the Jedi Knights were nothing more than a cult, set on brainwashing young beings to carry out their nefarious plans. Despite her high ideals, when a group of holofeature producers approached Jonava and Thrynka about a movie based on their efforts, both quickly traveled to Kassido to help with casting. During this time, the Old Republic shut down The People's Inquest on a variety of semi-legal claims, and Thrynka was forced to go into hiding. Her desire to expose the truth remained intact, however, and Thrynka managed to secure a HoloNet node on an remote Outer Rim world to restart The People's Inquest during the height of the Clone Wars. (HNN4, HNN5, SWI71)

Padawan
This was a term used by the Jedi to describe a young student of the Force. During the height of the Old Republic, beings who were strong with the Force were identified at a young age for training, often before their first birthday. Young beings were transported to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, where they were brought up to respect the Force and the life it suffused. The exact definition of the term Padawan was somewhat blurred, as some Jedi Masters used the term to describe any student of the Force, while others reserved the term to describe those students who had been chosen for further training by a specific Jedi Knight or Master. Under this latter definition, students were allowed to train until they were chosen as Padawan learners by a Jedi Master, or until they were thirteen years old. If a learner was not chosen as a Padawan by his thirteenth birthday, it was decided that the young student would never have the drive and skills to become a full Jedi Knight, and they were given lesser assignments by the Jedi Council. Each Padawan was distinguished by a short, close-cropped hairstyle which was accented by a thin braid. The braid's length, together with small beads braided into the hair, denoted the Padawan's level of training. On the occasion of a Padawan's thirteenth birthday, solemn reflection and meditation were required by the student, and the Master often gave them a meaningful gift. (PTR, E1N, RF, HP, SWI88)

Padawan Massacre
This was the name used by the media to describe the incidents surrounding the deaths of several Jedi Padawans on the planet Taris, during the final years of the Mandalorian Wars. The deaths of Oojoh, Gharn, Kamlin, and Shad Jelevan were attributed to fellow Padawan Zayne Carrick, who was framed for their murders by his own Master, Lucien Draay, and the other Masters of the Taris training facility. The Masters were part of the group known as The Covenant, and had committed themselves to preventing the return of the Sith. However, their methods were much more extreme than those envisioned by Draay's mother, the Lady Krynda Draay, when she first formed The Covenant. Lucien had taken matters into his own hands, despite warnings from his mother, and had the Padawans killed after incorrectly interpretting the Covenant's visions of the future. However, after it was revealed that Haazen had been manipulating the Draays in his own bid for power, the truth behind the events on Taris was revealed to the Jedi High Council and the general public. Zayne Carrick was cleared of all charges, although he chose to abandon the Jedi Order. (KOR3, KOR8, KOR10)

Padawan Pack
This was the somewhat derogatory term used to describe those Jedi Padawans who survived the fighting during the Battle of Jabiim, after their Masters were killed in battle. The Padawan Pack was ostensibly led by Anakin Skywalker, the most war-experienced student among them. (NECH)

Padawan, The
see Dyshkava, Byrch (GMR7)

Padawan's Resource Guide
This document was produced by the Jedi Masters who controlled the Almas Academy. It contained all the basic information an aspiring student of the Force would need to understand how the Almas Academy differed from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. It also documented the three convergent paths a student at the Almas Academy had to traverse: the Jedi philosophy, and how it applied to their individual nature; the Jedi peace, and how deeply a student can attune himself to the Force; and the Jedi promise, in which a student must face their greatest fears in order to pledge themselves to the Jedi Code. (WOTC)

Padda
This Twi'lek and his cousin, Quink, re-established Chabak's, the casino owned by their uncle on Zirtran's Anchor. Padda was the younger of the two cousins, and was also more reckless and inexperienced. His parents were quite powerful on his homeworld of Ryloth, and they made sure that Quink was blamed for anything that went wrong at Chabak's. (SWJ5)

Padded Armor
This type of body armor was created from panels of thick material that was not unlike padding, allowing for a lightweight form of protection against projectile weapons. It was often of minimal protection against blaster fire, since it was often made from flammable material or material that could not absorb or disperse coherent energy.. (SWGAL)

Paddie, Ister

During the height of the New Order, the Paddocks was owned and operated by Cruegar, a Gungan who knew his clientele and their needs. (GMR7)

Paddox, Theus
This man was the High Lord of House Pelagia during the height of the New Order. He was very young when Pelagia fell from power, but married into House Cadriaan in an effort to regain its position. His marriage to the daughter of Lady Bathos, along with financial investments with House Cadriaan, helped Paddox begin rebuilding House Pelagia's status. It was later discovered, by the crew of the Bright Seeker shortly after the Battle of Hoth, that Theus's younger brother and sister, Trad and Verinia, were secreted away aboard the Regal Destiny during the Mecetti Purge. (PGT, TSIA)

Paddox, Trad
This youth was the younger brother of Theus Paddox. Trad and his sister, Verinia, were lost aboard the Regal Destiny when it fled during the Mecetti Purge, more than twenty years before the Battle of Hoth. Trad was just eight years old at the time, and was placed in statis by Mistress Winslo when the ship was sabotaged. The bodies of Trad and Verinia were recovered by Captain Nils Wender and the crew of the Bright Seeker, then turned over to House Pelagia for reanimation. (TSIA)

Paddox, Verinia
This youth was the younger sister of Theus Paddox. Verinia and her brother, Trad, were lost aboard the Regal Destiny when it fled during the Mecetti Purge, more than twenty years before the Battle of Hoth. Verinia was just ten years old at the time, and was placed in statis when the ship was sabotaged. The bodies of Trad and Verinia were recovered by Captain Nils Wender and the crew of the Bright Seeker, then turned over to House Pelagia for reanimation. (TSIA)

Paddy Frog
This species of flat, bloated amphibians was native to the planet Klatooine. Jabba the Hutt used to consume these creatures as appetizers. He preferred them preserved in brandy, which added flavor and kept these vicious little frogs from attacking each other. Chefs from around the galaxy discovered that paddy frogs had a somewhat greasy flesh that had a distinctive flavor. When ground, the flesh of a paddy frog could be used to create tasty sausages and patties. (TJP, OWS)

Padlink

Paecian Empire
An ancient empire founded about 3000 years before Han Solo won the planet Dathomir in a sabacc match, shortly after the Battle of Endor. (CPL)

Pa'ela
This was the Menahuun word for the life-energies that permeated the planet Lamaredd. The word pa'ela literally meant "holy blood", and was believed by many Jedi Knights to be the Force. (GMR7)

Paemos
This young Rodian was among the many Force-sensitive individuals who were exiled to the planet Dathomir during the early years of the New Order, because he was perceived as a threat by Emperor Palpatine. Paemos became something of an aide to Rohak, and was with the old man when he discovered the location for the Village of Aurilia. After the village was attacked by Mellichae and the Sith Shadows, Paemos and Rohak worked hard to rebuild their village, and Paemos was eventually elected to serve as Aurilia's mayor. (SWGAL)

Paffen
This Imperial commander was left on Lucazec to await the return of a Fallanassi who could read the hidden messages left behind by the elders. He was killed by Luke Skywalker when he tried to abduct Akanah. Note that Shield of Lies indicates that Paffen poisoned himself, rather than be captured by Skywalker on Lucazec. (BTS, SOL)

Pag, Mirip
This Iotran served as a gunner for Urias Xhaxin aboard the Free Lance. (DTO)

Pagalies, Teemto
This alien, a Veknoid native to Moonus Mandel, was one of the Outer Rim's best podracer pilots. He was also infatuated with the Rutian Twi'Lek, Ann Gella. He flew an IPG-X1131 LongTail podracer. Teemto was a small humanoid whose lower jaw dominated his small face. He had been exiled from Moonus Mandel for refusing to enter into an arranged marriage. During the Boonta Eve Classic race, Teemto was passed by nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker shortly before his own pod simply exploded. Teemto survived the blast, rolling out of it inside his wheel-shaped pod. He went on to place in the Vinta Harvest Classic race on Malastare shortly afterward, and actually won the Aleen Classic, but eventually gave up podracing altogether after several crashes cost him an arm, one eye, and covered much of his body with scar tissue.

He retired to Tatooine, and went to work as a mechanic for Ulda Banai at the Mos Espa Swoop Arena. About eleven years after the Battle of Yavin, Pagalies wrote a letter to Leia Organa Solo, after learning that she was the daughter of Anakin Skywalker. He included a recording of the Boonta Eve Classic race that Anakin won, and went on to explain that, no matter what Anakin did later in life, he won the Boonta Eve race fairly and without cheating. Note that Star Wars Journal: Anakin Skywalker names this alien Teemto Pugales. (E1, YJC1, JAS, IG1, PRT, OWS, TG, NEGC, SWDB, EGF)

Page
This young being was a student at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the last years of the Old Republic. (YDR)

Page, Judder
This young man was from the planet Corulag. He disapproved of his father's position as a pampered Imperial Senator, and was none too happy when his father sent him to the Academy. However, Page turned the situation to his own goals, and used the freedom from his father to study all sorts of things about the military. He graduated with honors, and was assigned as a scout in General Veers' command in the Army. He defected to the Alliance after hearing one of Princess Leia's anti-Imperial speeches on Coruscant, agreeing with her assessment of the Empire and the state of the galaxy. Page stayed on after witnessing the heroic efforts of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. Page was recruited by Crix Madine as a commando, and he was part of Bren Derlin's troops on Hoth, as well as Solo's assault team at Endor. His non-descript good looks made him blendin with most crowds, allowing him to "disappear" in plain sight. When Derlin took a desk job following the Battle of Endor, Page was promoted to Lieutenant, but refused to be promoted further, having seen that rank had nothing to do with the level of commitment from Solo or Skywalker. Note that the Star Wars Customizable Card Game - Endor Expansion claims Page was already a Lieutenant prior to the Battle of Endor. When the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy began, Page found himself once again on the front lines. He agreed to a naval posting, garnering the rank of Captian and serving under Pash Cracken aboard the Memory of Ithor during Operation Trinity. When the ship exploded, it was believed that Judder and Pash were both killed in the explosion. However, both managed to reach lifepods and escape the blast, only to be captured by the Yuuzhan Vong and incarcerated on Selvaris. He was eventually rescued by the New Republic after Thorsh managed to escape the prison camp and provide the Republic with the location of Selvaris, only to be trapped on Caluula Station with Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon. It was there that Page left Cracken, returning with the Solos to Calamari. (HTTE, COTF, HTSB, HTTEC, CCG10, RESB, FP, UF)

Page, Roo-Roo
This Gungan child, a native of the Jan-gwa settlement, was discovered to have a strong connection to the Force, during the final years of the Old Republic. Roo-Roo was to have been trained as a Jedi, although knowledge of the child's existence was discovered by Cad Bane. Bane, who was working for Darth Sidious, tried to capture the child for use in some experiments that Darth Sidious was carrying out on Mustafar. However, the Jedi Council had foreseen Bane's arrival on Naboo, and dispatched Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano to intercept him. Thus, when Bane slipped into the Page household, he found only a tooka doll in the toddler's crib. The Jedi were able to capture Bane, and Roo-Roo Page was safe once again. (CWTV25)

Page's Commandos
This was the more common name for the Katarn Commandos, a special-forces group led by Lieutenant Judder Page during the early years of the New Republic. (HTTE, COTF, HTSB, FP)

Paht, Mish
This Bothan served as a Lieutenant in the Thaereian Navy, during the final years of the Old Republic. Paht was dispatched to the city of Ipsus, in orbit around Genarius, to locate the secret facility from which the Believers were producing a virus that killed only Caarites, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. A corrupt, ambitious individual, Paht was driven to resolve the situation at any cost. Thus, when the only suspect turned out to be a woman known as Canduri, and she was found in the custody of a group of freelance agents who were working for Nirama, Paht tried to have the entire group arrested in order to secure her. His bid to take Canduri into custody was thwarted when one of the agents explained that the Thaereians had no jurisdiction on Ipsus, since it was a privately-owned station. Instead, he was forced to accept all the evidence they had thus far acquired, as well as a small "processing fee" for the licensing of their weapons. (MCT2)

Pahum Cultural Center
This vast collection of performance centers and exhibition facilities was located in the upper levels of Pau City, on the planet Utapau, and served as the planet's primary venue for shows and conventions. (SWCL)

Paig

Paige-Tarkin, Shayla
This woman represented her homeworld of Eriadu, as well as the planets of Seswenna Sector, to the Old Republic Senate, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. She was adamant in her support of the Republic, in the whirlwind of secession movements which engulfed the Republic. She was one of Chancellor Palpatine's strongest supporters, and grew increasingly worried about his health as the Clone Wars ground on. (HNN4, JT)

Paigu
This storm-swept planet, located in the Commonality of the Outer Rim Territories, was the homeworld of the Paigun race. The native Paigun discovered ways to harness the electricity that rained down on the planet's surface during thunderstorms, providing them with a ready and sustainable source of power. (GORW)

Paigun
This was the native language of the Paigun race. Lexicologists of the galaxy described the Paigun language as extremely precise, and noted that it lacked any metaphors or euphemisms. (GORW)

Paigun
This alien race was native to Paigu, a planet in the Commonality. Tall and lanky in appearance, the Paiguns were noted for their wisdom and their skills in mathematics and logic. Groups of Paigun inventors and management experts worked with the Vorzydiaks to establish the industry of the planet Vorzyd 4 and Vorzyd 5. Individual Paiguns were noted by their pebbly, gray-green skin and their shriveled faces. (GORW)

Pain Droid
This was another term used to describe the interrogation droids used by the Empire. (MIS4)

Pain Pot Pie
This was a slang term used by many military personnel, during the era of the Clone Wars, to describe any situation in which things did not go as planned, and had the potential to cause an individual harm. (CWTV13)

Pain Pulser
This was a form of medical device that was used to cause pain at certain points on a being's body. These devices were originally developed to help stimulate nerve cells that had been damaged. Over time, however, pain pulsers became a kind of interrogation tool, as torturers used them to cause near-constant pain to cycle through a being's body. (CWTV24)

Paint
This was starpilot slang for a sensor lock on a starship. It came from the description of the sensor system "painting" a starship with its beams, as it gathered transponder identification and other data about the vessel. (HSR)

Pak, Tal
This rat-fced man was a notorious smuggler. Tal Pak and his partner, Vassk, agreed to help the Alliance by providing them with the location of a supply cache on Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was later betrayed by his partner when the Twi'lek sold out to the Empire. (SWJ2)

Pak Pak
This was the traditional, non-verbal language of the Neimoidian race. Although most Neimoidians who were encountered in the galaxy spoke Basic, they chose to communicate in the Pak Pak language when they returned to their homeworld. The Pak Pak language consisted of a stream of croaks, produced by varying the shape of the mouth and throat to produce a string of various sounds. Although many linguists found the use of Pak Pak to be musical and beautiful, most other beings found it guttural and harsh.

The Pak Pak language was well-suited to the Neimoidian physiology, but poorly suited to communication with the rest of the galaxy. Thus, when a Neimoidian had to learn how to speak Basic, they had to learn both the language and the correct usage of their vocal cords in order to produce the foreign words. This resulted in a strange accent that became synonymous with the Neimoidians themselves. (GPB)

Pakaz
This term from the Bocce langauge translated into Basic as "drink". (GPB)

Pake
An Alliance X-Wing pilot killed in action over M'haeli. (ROC)

Pak-It Gear Bag

Pakk
This Herglic term could be used to indicate a Herglic pod community, a city, or a planet, depending on the context in which it was used. (PGT)

Pakka
This Trianii cub was the son of Atuarre and Keeheen. He was kidnapped and interrogated by the Corporate Sector' Security Police during the annexation of Fibuli, and hadn't spoken since that time, after Atuarre managed to rescue him during a prisoner transfer. Pakka and his mother later teamed up with Rekkon to investigate the disappearances of individuals in the Corporate Sector, in the wake of Keeheen's disappearance. After Han Solo was able to locate the prisoners at the Stars' End facility on Mytus VII, Pakka pretended to be a trained acrobat as part of Madame Atuarre's Roving Performers. This wasn't a big stretch for the cub, who had trained alongside his parents for many years, and could outperform most fully-trained acrobats. After infiltrating Stars' End, the small group was able to liberate the prisoners being kept there, including Keeheen. As the rescuers fled Mytus VII, Pakka was the only one in a position to see the entire Stars' End tower crash back into the planetoid and explode. After the rescue, Pakka and his family returned to Trian, and Pakka himself tried to return to school and lead a normal life. Unfortunately, he had become something of a celebrity on Fibuli. He adjusted quickly, and soon was drawn out of his shell. (HSE, CSA)

Pakkallo, Sena
This aging woman served as a medical officer at the Imperial garrison on Bakura during the height of the Galactic Civil War. A veteran of several missions to harsh worlds, Pakkallo once treated Wilek Nereus for a parasitic disorder on OrulShai II. Nereus remembered her compassion, and eventually hired her to serve on Bakura. She hoped that a non-combat position would make her life easier, but Nereus' cruel methods of keeping the peace kept her more than busy. She grew bitter working for the Empire, and even considered joining the Alliance. She didn't know how to contact them, so she smuggled medical supplies to the Bakuran underground. In the wake of the Battle of Bakura, Pakkallo decided to join the fledgling New Republic. (TBSB)

Pakkerd Light Transport
This false corporation was set up on Ession by the Imperial warlord Zsinj, under the alias of Oan Pakkerd. The company's records listed Vanter Raffin as the chief officer, and Hola Paskalian as the chief of security. During the height of the Empire, Pakkerd was a division of Sienar Fleet Systems that built TIE Fighters and TIE Interceptors. After the death of Palpatine at Endor, Pakkerd was sold off. Since that time, it had produced a wide range of repulsorlift vehicles. Zsinj had actually been building new TIE Fighters, which he hoped to get assigned to the Implacable before the New Republic could stop him. Unfortunately, with the help of the captured Night Caller, the Republic was able to knock out the Pakkerd plant and rob Zsinj of his reinforcements. (WS)

Pakkpekatt, Ejagga
This Hortek Colonel served the New Republic as part of the Intelligence agency. He was placed in command of the Glorious and was sent to intercept the Teljkon vagabond about twelve years after the Battle of Endor. He was constantly at odds with Lando Calrissian, but often recognized the worth of Lando's opinion. He did not approve of Lando's bold move to gain entrance to the vagabond, and was even less happy with the escape of the vagabond near Gmir Askilon. The flight of the vagabond rendered the Kuari a derelict, caused numerous deaths and injuries, and left him without a clue as to the whereabouts of the ship. Calrissian, Lobot, R2-D2, and C-3PO were also aboard the vagabond when it fled. This combination of events led the New Republic to recall the majority of Pakkpekatt's fleet, although he was given a few ships to chase the vagabond and rescue Calrissian. He eventually took control of the Lady Luck and was brought to the vagabond when C-3PO activated its slave circuit. The ships jumped around from the Prakith System to the planet Brath Qella, where the true purpose of the vagabond was revealed. (BTS, SOL, TT)

Paklalat
This Mandalorian word translated loosely into Basic as "the gift of gab", although its meaning was closer to "having a way with words". (RC66)

Pakmillu
This Mon Calamari military officer served the Old Republic, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Captain Pakmillu was chosen to lead the Outbound Flight project, as commander of the D-One Dreadnaught and as the primary leader of the mission. However, once the mission launched from Yaga Minor, Captain pakmillu found himself less and less in control of things, as Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth began to exert more and more power with his fellow Jedi Knights. At first, C'baoth's requests were more vague, such as the possibility of searching for the lost Jedi Master Vergere in the Unknown Regions. Later, C'baoth demanded that the Jedi be trained in the operations of Outbound Flight's drive systems and weaponry. He even persuaded Pakmillu to waive his authority in the Commander's Court, assuring the Mon Calamari that the Jedi could do a better job of dispensing justice. Eventually, Pakmillu ceded control of Outbound Flight to C'baoth, much to the anger and dismay of the crew and families aboard the six Dreadnaughts. (OF)

Pakuuni System
This planetary system was a haven for pirates and smugglers, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Intergalactic trade there was dangerous, at best. Thrawn, then a Vice Admiral in the Imperial Navy, attempted to set up a new installation in the system, in an attempt to restore order and Imperial control to the system. Years later, the Crseih Station ended up in this system, after the deaths of Waru and Hethrir. (TIE, NECH, TIEP)

Pal
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 Pal referred to an individual's quickness of mind, cunning, or initiative. (GCG)

Palace Courtyard
This wide, circular courtyard was built near Naboo's Theed Palace, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. The courtyard was split into two halves, with a tree-lined walkway running down the middle. The courtyard was created to foster and encourage enlightened thought and practice, in the wake of the brutal invasion of the Trade Federation. Holographic murals imbedded in the colonnade wall defining the courtyard's boundaries portrayed many of Naboo's greatest philosophers and artists, in keeping with the courtyard's themes. Just before the onset of the Clone Wars, many of the workers staged work stoppages and strikes in protest of the working conditions during the construction of the courtyard, but were swiftly arrested and silenced by the local security forces.

Palace of Splendid Harmony
This was the name of the governmental seat of the Rajah of Virujansi. The Rajah sat in the Ever Radiant Throne. During the height of the Clone Wars, the 6,000-year-old Palace took a good deal of damage during Separatist attacks, but was saved by the work of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. (RC, SWI72)

Palace of the Woolamander
This was one of the ancient, elaborate structures found in the jungles of Yavin Four. Its construction was attributed to the ancient Massassi, although its exact origins were lost in history. In the years following the death of Emperor Palpatine, the Alliance Senate used it as a meeting place. It was named by the Alliance engineers who discovered, although not because there was any indication it was used to worship the woolamander. Instead, when they found it, a pack of woolamanders was found nesting in the ruins. After the Senate agreed to allow Jedi Master Luke Skywalker to establish a training facility on Yavin 4, the Palace of the Woolamander was discovered to be the resting place of the Golden Globe. (GDV, HTF, ISU, GG, P)

This neutral planet known for its banks and financial institutions. However, many beings considered the importance of the planet to be overstated, and Palanhi was often described as "...a little crossroads planet with an overblown idea of their own importance." During the height of the Clone Wars, Palanhi was overrun by Separatist forces that employed Scorpenek Annihilator Droids to defeat the meager forces of the Grand Army of the Republic that were arrayed against them. (DFR, NEGD)

However, Chief of State Natasi Daala had a secret prison facility established in the non-descript Galactic Alliance Storage building across the skylane, as part of a plan that called for the psychological deterrence of crime by hiding the prison in plain sight. The prison facility's location was meant to ensure that the lobbying organizations were going to be in serious trouble if they began working for the wrong beings. (FJ3)

Paleo
This New Republic warship was part of the Rapid Response Task Force, and saw action during the Battle of Mindor. Like the Lancer, the Paleo was a converted Corellian freighter. Because many of the ship's weapons were retrofitted for use on the freighter, the crew of the Paleo often had to perform slow barrel rolls during combat, to allow overheated weapons to cool down before being fired again. In the wake of the Battle of Mindor, the Lancer and the Paleo were part of the massive evacuation effort put into motion by Luke Skywalker. General Skywalker took advantage of the fact that both ships still had their conveyor bridges intact, and had the ship captains move as close to the remains of Shadow Base as possible. Military and civilian personnel could then escape from Shadow Base along the conveyor bridge. (LSSM)

Palesia
This territory, located on the planet Lannik, was captured by the Red Iaro during their civil war against the other peoples of Lannik.

Pall, Ajunta
This ancient Sith Lord was buried in the Valley of the Dark Lords on Korriban, many centuries before the Great Sith War. Ajunta Pall was one of the survivors of the Hundred-Year Darkness, and was exiled to the farthest reaches of the galaxy by the Jedi Order. During the Battle of Corbos, Pall killed more than twelve Jedi in battle, before he was forced to surrender. After being exiled, Pall and the other exiles eventually discovered Korriban, and managed to conquer the native Sith. Like many of his contemporaries, Pall believed that the Jedi Order had been jealous of the powers that the Dark Jedi had discovered, which led the Jedi to hunt their dark brothers down and eliminate them from the galaxy. Pall was believed that have left behind several Leviathans on planets like Corbos, as a way to strike back at the Jedi in the future.

After his death, Pall's spirit was known to be restless, and wandered the tomb in search of his sword. The sword had not been placed on his sarcophagus, and Pall was doomed to wander the tomb until he could find it. It was said that the Sith who located the sword - from among a group of three - and presented it to Pall's spirit would receive the sword as payment from Pall for freeing his spirit. This prophecy was ultimately fulfilled by the Jedi Revan, who had returned from the Dark Side of the Force during the hunt for Darth Malak. While on Korriban, Revan saved Ajunta Pall by locating the sword, setting his spirit free. (KOTOR, KOTOR2, EGF)

Pallin
This man served the Imperial Remnant as a Lieutenant, and was in command of the garrison on Ord Sedra when the Yuuzhan Vong tried to subjugate the planet. He managed to send out a short distress signal before communications were jammed, and the communication was intercepted by Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors. They diverted from their original plan to meet Pallin on Ord Sedra, where they developed a plan to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong. Although the aline invaders were defeated, Pallin felt that he had let his people down. The invasion occurred on his first command watch, and he was forced to call in help from the New Republic. Katarn quickly pointed out that it was Pallin who made the decision to send out the distress signal, which allowed the Republic agents to assist in freeing hundreds of innocent people. Their efforts nearly were for naught when Pallin's officers failed to secure their Yuuzhan Vong captives, and he was forced to call for help from Kyle and Jan to eliminate the aliens. (T21)

This man served the Empire as a Commander in the military forces, during the early months of the New Order. Commander Palmer and his men were stationed on the planet Byrsym, where they were placed in charge of customs duty and security at the Imperial Spaceport. His pro-human biases were tested on Byrsym, where the native population at the time was largely non-human. Palmer feared that the entire planet would descend into chaos if the Empire didn't step in an exert its will. Commander Palmer himself was on spaceport security duty when the Wasaka arrived on Byrsym, and questioned the presence of Wilena onboard the ship. However, the crew of the ship answered his questions with sufficient information that Palmer let them go, unaware that the group included the Jedi Knight Shen-Ji Collun and Daimaran advisor Alet Komain. (FR)

Pal-Nada
This Force-wielding Cerean used his influence to steal and the resell starships for large profits, during the height of the New Order. His base of operations was on the planet Jenenma, in the Blinders district of Sahl-Evin. He took over the criminal organization which had been left behind by a Hutt crimelord who had simply left it behind, and Pal-Nada turned it into his own small empire. He ruled with an iron fist, strictly forbidding powered weapons of any kind within The Blinders district. Any being caught with a weapon was soundly beaten by the Sahl-Evin port authority, which was Pal-Nada's payroll. This gave his organization a strong sense of order and conduct, while bringing the official law of Sahl-Evin into his fold. (WOA17, WOA19)

Pa'lowick
This strange, amphibian race was native to the planet Lowick. Their bodies were bulbous, and measured about a meter in diameter. Two reed-like legs supported the main body, which acted as a torso as well as a head. Pa'lowick had no distinct neck, and their eyes and snouts sat directly atop their torso. Their eyes were located at the end of short stalks, and their snouts contained their nostrils and mouths. The mouth of a Pa'lowick was surrounding by thick lips, and had very few teeth. A larger mouth, located at the base of the snout, was present in young individuals, but seemed to be absorbed into the facial skin as the Pa'lowick aged. This lower mouth was sometimes protected by short tusks, depending on the subspecies of Pa'lowick.

The body of the average Pa'lowick was covered by greenish-yellow skin that tended to shade toward light brown, and was spotted with blue-green markings. The lungs of the Pa'lowick were well-developed, and filled a large portion of the body cavity. This allowed the to hold their breath for long periods of time, an evolutionary adaptation for hiding in the water from predators.

As a race, Pa'lowicks were natural scavengers with incredible patience, and maintained ritualistic ways of doing nearly everything in their lives. They tended to be shy when in the presence of other beings, although the tusked Pa'lowicks were more aggressive than their cousins. Music played a large part in Pa'lowick society, and singing held a deeply religious significance to them. (CCG9, AE, EGA, UANT, NEGA)

Palp Wafer
This was a type of simple foodstuff that was produced during the early years of the New Order. Although palp wafers were nutritious, they were considered among the most unpalatable foods in the galaxy. (CN1)

Palpatine
Palpatine served his homeworld of Naboo, as well as thirty-six other inhabited planets, as a Senator in the Old Republic. He was something of an enigma, since there were few records of his early years. It was known that Palpatine was born on Naboo about sixty years before the onset of the Clone Wars, and was first elected to represent the human population of Naboo at the age of thirty, some fifty-two years before the Battle of Yavin. Note that there is a statement from Ian McDiarmid in Star Wars Insider magazine, issue 109, in which he states that Palpatine was 120 years old at the time of the Battle of Endor. His election to Senator followed several defeats in local-office elections, despite his popularity as an airspeeder racer. Unknown to virtually every being in the galaxy, Palpatine was also known as Darth Sidious, a student of the Dark Side of the Force who trained on Korriban. His Force-sensitivity went undiscovered by the Jedi Order, but not to the Sith Lord known as Darth Plagueis, who began his training in the ways of the Sith. While keeping his side of his life a secret, Palpatine used his political savvy to develop alliances with other power-hungry individuals to begin his own bid for power, and was instrumental in the rise to power of the Trade Federation. He used the Trade Federation - with its cowardly Neimoidian leaders - to force the Old Republic to see its stagnant ways. It was Palpatine who suggested to Chancellor Finis Valorum that the Republic's growing debt could be curbed by taxing the Outer Rim trade routes. This forced the Trade Federation to blockade his homeworld of Naboo, in an effort to protest the taxation. After manipulating his Queen, Amidala, to call for a vote of no-confidence in Chancellor Valorum, Palpatine put himself at the forefront of the coming elections. In a vote which was based on sympathy for Naboo and the many alliances Palpatine had forged, he was voted to replace Valorum at the age of fifty.

While remaining unobtrusive and often helpful, Palpatine manipulated the Old Republic until it began to crumble from within, remaining in his position as Chancellor well beyond the normal term length. He worked behind the scenes - using his alter ego of Darth Sidious - to push the Republic to the brink of destruction. As crises arose, Palpatine assumed the guide of the compassionate leader, ruing the need for accepting an extension to his term as Chancellor, and vowing to lay down his powers soon afterward. However, Palpatine had no plans for relinquishing control, and made sure that the galactic situation continued to decay, in order to further solidify his position of power. Additionally, each time he seemed to reluctantly accept more power from the Galactic Senate, Palpatine would turn to the Jedi Council for advice, drawing the Jedi into his web by insinuating them in various decisions and branches of government.

Ostensibly, the most crucial situation he faced was the threat of the Separatists, led by Count Dooku. Unknown to the rest of the galaxy was the fact that Dooku was actually Palpatine's apprentice, Darth Tyranus. After learning of the capture of Obi-Wan Kenobi on Geonosis, and upon discovering the clone army that had originally been ordered by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, Palpatine called for the creation of an Army of the Republic to combat the Separatists. He accepted another term of office - essentially, an indefinite extension of his current term - when Jar-Jar Binks recommended that the Chancellor be given emergency powers to combat Dooku's Separatists. He then forced the Military Creation Act into law and assumed control of the war.

It was during this time that Palpatine decided to take on Anakin Skywalker as his apprentice. It was later rumored that Palaptine and his own master, Darth Plagueis, used the Force to bring Anakin into existence. Throughout the Clone Wars, Palpatine subtly twisted Skywalker to the Dark Side of the Force, preying upon the young man's fears for his mother and his secret wife, Padme' Amidala. Following the First Battle of Coruscant, Palpatine revealed to Anakin Skywalker that he was none other than Darth Sidious. After Anakin brought this news to the Jedi Council, Mace Windu and several other Jedi Masters confronted Palpatine to arrest him. Palpatine proved to be more than a match for the Jedi, killing the other Masters and battling Mace Windu to a draw.

Only the timely intervention of Anakin, who had been ordered by Mace Windu to remain at the Jedi Temple, changed things. Just as Windu was about to execute Palpatine, Anakin pleaded with him to stop, since killing a defenseless man was not the Jedi Way. When Windu hesitated, Sidious rose to the moment and blasted the Jedi Master with Force Lightning. Windu blocked the attack, deflecting the power of the lightning back at Sidious' face. All of the Sith Lord's evil and rage was allowed to boil to the surface, and he dropped his decades-old façade as Palpatine. Sidious' face became twisted with the effort, until Anakin stepped in to prevent his death. When Anakin cut off Master Windu's hand, Sidious used the Force to shove Windu out of a window, and the Jedi Master fell to his death. Palpatine then accepted Anakin as his apprentice, naming him Darth Vader.

Palpatine used this event, which he called the Jedi Rebellion, to assume complete control of the Senate and outlaw the Jedi Order. In the Senate Rotunda, he appeared as a now-disfigured Emperoro Palpatine, claiming that the Jedi had destroyed his appearance but not his resolve. To thunderous applause, Palpatine established the first Galactic Empire and instituted the era of the New Order. He kept his identity as Darth Sidious a secret, however, to ensure that the rest of the galaxy was unaware of his role in bringing down the Old Republic and the Jedi Order.

Although he was forced to recover Anakin's body from Mustafar and rebuild it, Palpatine continued to teach Vader in the ways of the Dark Side. However, Palpatine also knew that Anakin had been married to Padme' Amidala, and that there was the possibility that Vader might have had children. After he created the Galactic Empire and the power structure needed to maintain it, Palpatine began to step back from his former position, and spent more time instructing Darth Vader in the ways of the Sith.

A student in the ways of the Dark Side of The Force, Palpatine was also a xenophobe, though he used aliens when it suited him. Through his use of the Dark Side, he gained a large body of knowledge on the use of clones to become virtually immortal. The fresh supply of new bodies ensured that the destructive power of the Dark Side never killed him.

Palpatine ruled the galaxy as Emperor for nearly twenty-five years, until he was killed by Darth Vader aboard the second Death Star, over the Forest Moon of Endor. Vader had been fighting a lightsaber duel with his son, Luke Skywalker, and the younger man's love and compassion eventually brought Vader back to the Light Side of the Force. When Palpatine threatened to kill Luke, Vader acted to save his son, throwing Palpatine down a reactor shaft and killing him in a blast of energy. It was believed that Palpatine had been using his connection to the Force to control the minds and will of the Imperial Fleet at Endor, and that his death caused the surviving Imperial ships to lose their coordination, allowing the Alliance forces to win the Battle of Endor.

Although Palpatine's body was consumed by the fierce power generators in the battle station, his spirit survived, albeit injured and without a strong connection to the Dark Side of the Force. It took the disembodied Palpatine so long to reach the planet Byss that he was nearly drained of any power in the Dark Side. Once on Byss, though, he was able to contact Sate Pestage, who readied a new cloned body for the Emperor. Palpatine spent years recovering his powers in the Dark Side, all the while watching the Empire crumble under the sheer luck of the New Republic. He had hopes for Grand Admiral Thrawn, but the alien's death only helped Palpatine gain more power.

When he emerged from hiding on Byss, he sought to retake the galaxy using World Devastators. He was also trying to turn Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side, which he nearly succeeded in doing. However, the presence of Luke's sister, Leia Organa, and her unborn child pulled Luke back to the Light Side. Together, they turned the Emperor's rage back on himself, and destroyed yet another incarnation on the evil Emperor. Since this last body was killed on Byss, Palpatine had an easier time placing his spirit into a new clone. However, Luke managed to destroy all of the remaining clones Palpatine had ready for use, and so when his body began to deteriorate, he started searching for Anakin Solo again.

He quickly began launching new attacks against the New Republic, this time with a weapon known as the Galaxy Gun. Skywalker enlisted the aid of the Ysanna - a race of Force-sensitives descended from ancient Jedi stock - as well as the assistance of Empatajayos Brand, to confront the Emperor on Onderon. There, Palpatine's dying body tried desperately to reach Anakin Solo. Brand intervened, though, and consumed the Emperor's spirit within his own. Both Brand and Palaptine died on Onderon.

Later, during the rise of Second Imperium, a group of former Imperial Royal Guards began using their experience with Palpatine to actually pretend to be the Emperor reborn. Using carefully spliced holovid segments, they were able to project a perfect image of the Emperor, and were also able to synthesize speech from recordings. Whenever they traveled, they used droids to carry a large isolation chamber which ostensibly housed the reborn Palpatine. Their ruse fooled Brakiss and the leaders of the Shadow Academy, until they were discovered in the aftermath of the battle over Yavin 4.

Panaka
This dark-skinned human served as the Captain of Queen Amidala's royal guard on the planet Naboo. Panaka personally supervised the Queen's weapons and self-defense training, and was also in charge of security at the Theed Palace. While not openly xenophobic, Panaka was well-known for his dislike of the Gungan people. In his youth, Panaka joined the Old Republic's Special Forces team in order to gain experience fighting the pirates which marauded the Naboo System. He was forced to return to Naboo when his sister died in a live-fire exercise while training with the Palace Guard.

Upon returning to civilian duty, Panaka served under Captain Magneta, and quickly made his presence known on Naboo. He worked to revise many of the planet's military doctrines and practices. His skills as a marksman and as a scout earned him the distinction of having the "quickest eyes on Naboo." Eventually, Panaka was appointed Captain of the Guard when Magneta resigned, and made every effort to protect the new Queen of the Naboo, Amidala. Ensuring that the Queen would always be safe, Panaka supervised the selection of five handmaidens to support Amidala. Each girl was chosen for her loyalty and strength, as well as her resemblance to Amidala.

When the Trade Federation blockaded the planet, Panaka stood beside his Queen, and helped her ensure her safety by switching her with Padme, one of her handmaidens. Later, Panaka accompanied the Queen to Coruscant, along with Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Panaka was unconvinced that the Jedi were working for the Queen's own good, but deferred to her judgement. When they returned to Naboo with plans to break the blockade themselves, Panaka supported his Queen's plans, although he was quick to point out the inherent flaws.

When the Battle of Naboo broke out, Panaka was in his customary position, fighting beside Amidala and helping her capture Nute Gunray. Coupled with the destruction of the Droid Control Ship and the defeat of the Federation's droid armies, freed the planet Naboo from the blockade. Panaka himself remained loyal to the leaders of Naboo, and remained on the planet to supervise the protection for Queen Jamillia.

Later, after the Clone Wars and the advent of Emperor Palpatine's New Order, it was believed that Panaka became a political figure, accepting the title and position of Moff while remaining loyal to Palpatine. It was also believed that it was Panaka who provided Palpatine with information on the secret marriage of Padme' and Anakin Skywalker. (E1, E1N, OWS, JQA, IG1, NEGC, IWST, VD3, CHRN2)

This man, distinguished by his stooped posture and well-tended goatee, was a freelance smuggler who accompanied Doctor Frayne to Geonosis, just after the onset of the Clone Wars. When Pandoor learned of Frayne's mission to Geonosis, he infiltrated her team by waylaying one of her assistants and using his credentials to gain access to their ship. Frayne surprised him by not turning him in, but by asking him to join her expedition. However, as soon as they were on Geonosis, Frayne stunned Pandoor and left him with Jedi Knight Jyl Somtay. Somtay managed to get them free, and they made their way to the surface. Pandoor feared that she would turn him in to the Republic authorities, but she agreed to work with him to relocate Frayne and bring her to justice. During their trek, he revealed that he was once a student of xenoarchaeology at the University of Ketaris. When the school went bankrupt, he took up smuggling as a way to obtain the relics and artifacts that had captivated him. After they located Frayne's body and avoided the nexy that had killed her, Pandoor observed that they made a good team, and that Somtay should join him as a smuggler. She scoffed at the idea, and threatened him with physical harm if he tried to persuade her. In an underground lab, they discovered a Geonosian sonic blaster that was capable of shifting its frequency with every blast, which would have made it unstoppable by the Jedi. Pandoor managed to steal the weapon and tried to use it against her, but the nexu returned and mauled him. Somtay managed to fight it off, and dragged Pandoor to a place where she could bind him and turn him over to the authorities. (SWI79)

Panha
This female Chiss was working with her Wookiee partner, Sarkkin, as a deep-space explorer, some twenty-five years after the Battle of Yavin. While on a regular mission aboard the Pythea, Sarkkin intercepted a transmission from the sole survivor of a race of warriors, claiming that his people had been wiped out by Yuuzhan Vong invaders. When she heard the name Yuuzhan Vong, Panha recalled Chiss records of earlier encounters with them, and knew that the appearance of the extra-galactic invaders was the precursor to a full-scale invasion. She and Sarkkin managed to locate the Yuuzhan Vong fleet that wiped out the warriors, and plotted its course to the planet Artorias. In order to get a transmission off to Artorias, they would need to move into a position that would place them in fleet's path. Complicating matters was the fact that their ship lacked enough power to send a good signal to Artorias, so Sarkkin and Panha had to reroute all power to the communications system, knowing that they might not make it back home. Panha eventually made contact with Artorias, and got off a warning message as the Yuuzhan Vong boarded the Pythea. The Yuuzhan Vong tried to capture them alive, and both Sarkkin and Panha refused to be taken prisoner. Sarkkin rammed the Pythea into the Yuuzhan Vong flaship, sacrificing their lives in the hope that they could slow down the alien invaders. (INVW)

Panib
This surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG)

Panib, Grell
This Imperial Captain was known as a belligerent individual. A native of the colony world of Heffrin, he grew up in a mining town and learned to use his fists before using his mouth. He was conscripted into the Imperial Army after one too many brawls, and his military career was stalled by his frequent fighting. He eventually got posted to Bakura, where Petr Thanas spent three years teaching him about command and how to control his aggression. When Thanas surrendered his forces after the Battle of Bakura and agreed to join the fledgling New Republic, Panib left with him. Panib worked to help train the meager Bakuran military into a viable defense, and later earned the rank of General in the Bakuran Defense Fleet. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, when it seemed that Bakura was ready to form an alliance with the P'w'eck, Panib was forced to assume control of the planet when Prime Minister Cundertol was kidnapped. Panib placed Bakura under martial law until the situation could be resolved. When Cundertol returned to Bakura, Panib agreed to lift order declaring martial law and work with the leaders to ensure a safe consecration of Bakura by the Keeramak. Panib was unprepared for the treachery of both Cundertol and Deputy Prime Minister Blaine Harris, and found himself in a leadership position when both were killed or driven off in separate events. As his first act, Panib signed a peace treaty with Lwothin of the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement. He agreed to send Bakuran ships to Lwhekk to help ensure that the native P'w'eck population was freed. (TBSB, FH2)

Panic Ring
This was a small device that was used by many dignitaries and celebrities who worked in places where they were not allowed to carry weapons for their protection. The panic ring was a small ring that was connected to a tiny communication system, and the whole device was then hidden in a being's clothing. When threatened with a dangerous situation, the being could pull on the panic ring, which initiated the communication system and send a message to the nearest law enforcement agencies. With any luck, the authorities would be able to rescue the being before any harm could befall them. (FJ1)

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

She was held on Corulag by the scientist Frexton, who refused to release her to the Jedi. Frexton hoped to perform experiments on the child in order to determine the source of a Jedi's strength. He tried to flee Corulag, but was caught in the crossfire of the Bartokk attempt to level the Academy. The Bartokks had been hired by Groodo the Hutt, and Frexton was too frightened to escape. Yoda managed to defeat the Bartokks and rescue both Frexton and Teela, who had spent much of her time in a Live Organism Comfort Conveyor while in Frexton's care. (E1A4)

Pankpa
This was the Huttese word for "spaceship." (GMR5)

This was a pleasure ship which traveled the Tion Hegemony during the height of the New Order. (SWJ4)

Panos, Galen
This man, the High Lord of House Reena during the height of the New Order, was a former Dean at Reena University. Unlike his predecessors, who chafed at the position of House Reena in Tapani Sector politics, Lord Panos was content with his stature. He cultivated relationships with other Houses in order to bring House Reena into position as a swing vote, controlling enough of the Great Council's seats to act as the deciding factor in many situations. He was known as a brilliant man, with great expertise in a variety of physical and computer-related sciences. He maintained a secret neuro-computer jack near his right ear, which allowed him to download trmendous amounts of data and knowledge to his brain, thereby maintaining his stature. (PGT, LOE)

Pan-preneur
This species of amphibious race of creatures was believed to be genetically related to the Mon Calamari, although many amphibious races share similar characteristics. The Pan-preneur were distinguished from the Mon Calamari by their skin, which was much more warty, and their heads, which were heavily ridged rather than smooth and streamlined. Both species share huge, round eyes that protrude from the sides of their heads. (SWJ8)

Panshe

Panshee
This was an Ewok tribe, one of the many tribes which contributed to the effort to defeat the Empire during the Battle of Endor. (SWJ1)

Pantang Scale of Aero-techno Advancement
This evolutionary scale was developed to assist historians and xenoarchaeologists in classifying a civilization's level of technology. It never found wide-spread usage, however, since it rated the technology required to build a landspeeder equivalent to that required to build an Imperial-class Star Destroyer. (VP)

Pan-Tapani Historical Society
This university club was originally formed at the Mrlsst Academy, and was dedicated to keeping Tapani Sector independent from the Empire. The Society also spoke out against the Freeworlds Region's reliance on Imperial funding. In reality, the Society was a cover for Doctor Arkeld's Justice Action Network cell. It was founded about eight years before the Battle of Endor by Arkeld himself, and was secretly funded by Bel Janius. (LOE)

Panteer, Heeth
This man was a native of the planet Alderaan, and grew up with members of the Organa family during the early years of the New Order. Heeth and his younger brother, Raal, were in the Ryloth System when their homeworld was destroyed by the first Death Star. As the surviving heirs of the Panteer family, the two owned an "inhospitable" moon in the system, although the actual location was luxurious enough to call their vacation home. The moon housed a large collection of Alderaanian flora and fauna, and was partially set aside as a hunting preserve. In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, Leia Organa traveled to the moon, hoping that the Panteers would allow the Alliance to use it as a new base. Heeth, however, wanted nothing to do with the idea, demanding a high price for his cooperation. He correctly surmised that Leia's actions aboard the first Death Star led to Alderaan's destruction, albeit without her influence, and didn't want the same thing to happen to his family's moon. When Raal took Leia on a safari through the preserve but they failed to return, Heeth took a speeder and set out to locate them. Although he reached them quickly, Raal had nonetheless died from the bite of a morp. Raal's death only hardened Heeth's resolve to stay out of the rebellion, and he ordered Leia to leave as quickly as possible. (SWEPH)

Panteer, Raal
This man was a native of the planet Alderaan, and grew up with members of the Organa family during the early years of the New Order. An old friend of Leia Organa, Raal and his older brother Heeth were in the Ryloth System when their homeworld was destroyed by the first Death Star. The two owned an "inhospitable" moon in the system, although the actual location was more than accommodating. The moon was actually the Panteer family's vacation home, and they were there when Alderaan was desdtroyed. It was to this moon that Leia Organa traveled, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, to approach Raal about helping the Alliance find a new base. She hesitated briefly, though, worried that Raal had never gotten over the breakup of their relationship. Although Raal was happy to be reunited with Leia, he was surprised to learn of her connections to the Alliance. When Leia asked about the possibility of the Panteers' allowing the Alliance to use their moon as a new base, Raal was more than happy to agree with Leia's plan, although Heeth refused to allow it. To get away from his brother's negtivity, Raal took Leia for a safari through the preserve housed on the moon, but a dragonsnake attacked their speeder. Stranded in the jungle, Raal was attacked by a veermok, but Leia managed to shoot the creature before it could kill him. Raal's luck didn't hold, though, and he was badly bitten by a morp. His dying wish was to have one more kiss from Leia, which she gladly gave. Unfortunately, Heeth was able to locate their position just after Raal died. (SWEPH)

Panthac
A carnivorous, predatory creature native to Mantessa, the panthac was a small but strong beast. These creatures averaged less than a meter in length, and had sharp claws and mottled or striped coloring. The exact coloration of the panthac served as camouflage to blend it into its surroundings, and the mane of hair around its neck furhter served to break up its appearance. Panthacs were fearless creatures which hunted in large packs, in order to bring down prey much larger than any individual. Because of their ferocious tenacity, panthacs were once exported from Mantessa for genetic experimentation. On several worlds, these altered panthacs managed to escape, causing vast amounts of damage to the local animal kingdom before they were stopped. (TLC, TTSB, SWJ7, ANT, UA)

Panther Flight
This was the name used to describe the group of YT-5100 Shriek-class bombers that was led by Wedge Antilles and Han Solo into battle against the forces of the Galactic Alliance on the planet Tralus, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong.

Pantol
This fish was native to the shallow oceans of Vaynai, and was feared because of its poisonous defense system. The body of the pantol was protected by a mass of sharp, brittle spines, which were hollow and contained a dangerous toxin. When a predator or unsuspecting being was punctured by one or more of these spines, they broke off inside the flesh, releasing the toxin into the victim's bloodstream. This toxin caused paralysis in short order, allowing the slow-moving pantol to escape. (GMR8)

Pantolomin
First, and primary, planet in the Panto system, Pantolomin was a tropical world with three continents and five major islands in a vast, colorful ocean. The major tourist attractions here including the underwater cruises through the beautiful coral reefs. Pantolomin rotates once every 24 standard hours, and orbits the star Panto once every 349 local days. (DFR, DFRSB)

Pantolomin Halfback
Named for the way that its back broke the surface of the water while swimming, this creature was native to the planet Pantolomin. The Pantolomin Halfback was a creature that was classified as a mammal, but it have many amphibious characteristics. The average halfback measured between one and two meters in length, with a large portion of its body being its flexible tail. Two forelegs allowed the halfback to move about on the land, although it preferred to safety of the water.

In the water, the Pantolomin Halfback could either swim with its forearms, or it caould move through the water on its side, using its tail to propel its body forward. When swimming this way, the halfback retracted its forearms to create a more stremlined shape. However, as much at they preferred the water, these creatures were naturally air breathers, and crawled onto the land to search for food and to sun themselves.

The diet of the halfback consisted of small crustaceans and insects, as well as fish and plankton. These creatures were sometimes referred to as "living canvasses" because of the way in which they altered their skin coloration to suit their mood and posture. This ability to quickly change their color made the halfbacks popular among the tourists who visited Pantolomin, a popularity that was only enhanced when halfbacks began to frolic with bathers and beachgoers. Halfbacks were known to have no fear of humans, and often returned any amount of attention with playful ululations and puppy-like adoration. The friendliness of the average halfback made them perfect pets, although domesticated halfbacks were only sold to your-round residents.

The original settlers of Pantolomin named the creatures after seeing them in the water. The settlers believed them to be half-man and half-beast that only showed their backside when in the water. The halfback was once believed to be a source of food to the Barabel race, but any attempts by the Barabels to raise halfbacks failed miserably. (SWJ4, OWS)

In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Papanoida provided information to the Jedi Council that General Grievous was not on Utapau, despite information gathered by Clone Intelligence Units in the Outer Rim Territories. It was then assumed that Papanoida was acting as a double agent. (OWS, IS3, VD3, SWDB)

Paparak Cross-cut
This was an engineering technique that was used to weaken the structural integrity of a structure.

Par, Baco
This former Alliance operative was a noted lock-breaker, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. A diminutive, canine being, Baco was eventually decommissioned after a series of drunken misadventurers, and drifted for many months before he found himself awakening from a binge aboard Wyl Tarson's starship. Baco had been kidnapped by Tarson, who was on his way to Ahakista as part of a mission he was carrying out for the crimelord known as Raze. Resigned to his fate, Baco Par went along with the mission, but each step along the way turned out to be more hair-raising than the next, prompting Baco to beg for a drink that would knock him out.

Upon arriving on Ahakista and learning that the mission was the destruction of The Hub, Baco could do little more than continue with the team, but he let his frustration show in his constant sarcasm. It was Baco who led the group of rebels through the tunnels under the Pyramid One facility, where he distracted any stormtroopers they found long enough for the others to kill them before they could sound an alarm. Their pathway to The Hub was blocked by the facility's energy shields, which Rasha Bex had agreed to shut down. However, Bex was apprehended before she could carry out her own mission, and the group was forced to find another way in.

When Wyl and Laynara came upon a locked blast door, they hoped that Baco could open it. Instead, Baco pulled his blaster on them and threatened to kill them for dragging him across the galaxy like they did. Laynara was able to calm him down, and Baco set to work on the door. Although he was able to get past the lock that was keeping the blast doors closed, Baco and the others were too focused on the door to sense the approach of a squad of stormtroopers. The stormtroopers opened fire, and one blast caught Baco squarely in the chest. The wound was fatal, but Baco refused to simply die. Taking a blaster, Baco hid behind a rock and kept the stormtroopers at bay until Wyl and Laynara were safely inside The Hub. (SWRAG)

Paradise
This was a term used by Luke Skywalker to describe the sensation experienced by the Melters, in the wake of the Big Crush. The Melters had lived on Taspan II for eons, trapped in the meltmassif stone and knowing no other existence. The destruction of their homeworld had caused chunks of meltmassif to be thrown into the Taspan System, and this sudden ability to experience the galaxy was considered akin to Paradise by the Melters. (LSSM)

Paradise Cantina
This seedy cantina was located near the primary spaceport on Bador, during the years following the Swarm War. (LF5)

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

This was one of the smaller roadways that were found in the city of Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine. It branched off from Spacers Row. (IWST)

Paradise Square
This was the primary entertainment district of Tasariq City, on the planet Tasariq, during the height of the New Order. (SWJ15)

Paradise System
This star system was inhabited and controlled by the Ugors, during the era of the New Order. Labeled as system J21-Z65 on Imperial starmaps, the Paradise System was made up of asteroids and pieces of space debris, rather than planets. The asteroids themselves orbited a fragment of the first Death Star, which was flung into space when the battle station was destroyed during the Battle of Yavin. Hidden within the fragment, which was known as the Holiest of Holies to the Ugors, was a prototype gravity well projector. The projector mysteriously reactivated itself, and the power of the gravity well began drawing orbital debris and asteroids into the system. The natural effects of gravity eventually created the asteroid field. The Ugors, over the years, turned the system into a huge junkyard. When the Alliance discovered the presence of the gravity well projector in the Paradise System, they dispatched an assault team to recover it before the Imperials could find it. Without the attraction of the projector, the Paradise System slowly flung itself apart over the following decades. (GG4, SH, SWDB)

Paradise System Junkyard
This was the Imperial designation of the Ugors' collection of garbage and relics contained within the Paradise System. The Ugors were able to operate the junkyard, which appeared to be a very irregular asteroid field, under Imperial sanction. Contained within the Junkyard was a large section of the first Death Star known to the Ugors as the Holiest of Holies, a fact discovered by the Alliance agents who were searching for the Elusive. Within the wreckage was Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber and a spare helmet and cape once owned by Darth Vader, as well as the prototype gravity well generator that created the original asteroid field. When the Alliance recovered the projector, the Paradise System and its Junkyard eventually flung itself apart without the central gravity source. (SH, SWDB)

Paramatan
This forested planet was known as the only refuge of the Great Oopik. (COG)

Paramexor, Janq
This man was once a brash, swaggering military officer whose opinion of himself was somewhat inflated. However, during a duel he was forced to fight to protect his honor, Janq was severely injured and lost the use of his legs. He was forced to live the rest of his life in a repulsorchair, and nearly committed suicide before some friends convinced him that his skills were better put to use elsewhere. With the support of his comrades, Janq rebuilt his life and eventually formed the Paramexor Guild of Hunters. He demanded that any hunter who joined his guild should hunt only those creatures who have found pleasure in killing their fellow creatures, and the Guild only paid for the acquisition of murderers. (GG10)

Paramexor Guild of Hunters
This was a bounty-hunting guild founded by Janq Paramexor. Paramexor required that the members of the Guild only hunted murderers, a restriction that many hunters found quite profitable. (GG10)

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

Paramita, Slide
This small, rat-like being was a noted podracer, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Paramita eschewed large engines and pods in favor of a Pizer-Errol Stinger 627 S podracer, preferring the smaller vehicle's responsive turns and easy repairs. It was believed that Paramita participated in the Boonta Eve Classic podrace that was eventually won by nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker. (RAC)

Paran
This ancient city, located on Derilyn, was filled with ancient ruins. It was the third-largest city on the planet, with roughly 512,000 residents when it was annihilated by bombardment from Imperial Star Destroyers when the Empire subjugated the planet. Less than 3,000 beings survived the assault. (PG3)

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

Para-roll
A Dornean pastry. (BTS)

Parasite Bomb
This was the name given to the doomsday weapons that were developed by the Chiss during the height of the Swarm War. Each parasite bomb was filled with a chemical soup that contained parasites that had been bio-engineered to attack the internal systems of the Killik species and kill them. The effect of the parasites was not immediate, but would slowly eat away at a Killik individual over the course of a standard year. During this time, the parasite would reproduce and be transmitted to others in the exchange of bodily fluids. Eventually, the Killiks would be unable to reproduce fast enough to overtake the parasite, and the entire Colony would die out. The Chiss had planned to launch parasite bombs during the Battle of Tenupe, then allow themselves to be "defeated." In their elation at defeating the Chiss, it was hoped that the Colony's Killik hives would remain blissfully unaware of the effects of the parasite bomb. The Chiss plan was thwarted when it was revealed to Leia Organa Solo by Commander Baltke. Leia was able to realy information about the parasite bombs to the other Jedi, and almost single-handedly ensured that the only two bombs to reach the surface of Tenupe were destroyed before they could deploy their payloads. (DN3)

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

Parasite Fly
This was a term used to describe a species of small, flying insect, native to Neimoidia and the Neimoidian purse-worlds, that carried parasites from one host to another. (OF)

Parasite Shower

Parasitti, Cato
This female Clawdite was one of the galaxy's best assassins, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Although she commanded an exhorbitant fee, Parasitti was quite skilled and completed some of the most challenging of jobs where others would have failed. As a Clawdite, Parasitti had the ability to alter her physical shape, a trait that she enhanced by using miniature hologram projectors to further change her appearance. She was contacted by Cad Bane, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, to assist him on a mission to steal a holocron from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Parasitti adopted the guise of the deceased Jedi Master, Ord Enisence, in order to gain acess to the Temple. Her actions as Eniscence attracted the notice of Ahsoka Tano, who remembered Eniscence as a warm-hearted being, while Parasitti played her part with cool detachment. Jocasts Nu forestalled any confrontation, allowing Parasitti to access a computer terminal and begin feeding information to Todo 360. Once Cad Bane and Todo 360 were inside, the Jedi security forces recognized a problem. Master Nu then approached Parasitti to ask for Master Eniscence's help, at which point Parasitti knew that she had to act. She lashed out at Master Nu, rendering the old woman unconscious, before dropping her disguise and setting off to rejoin Bane. However, she was blocked by Ahsoka Tano, and was forced to take up Master Nu's weapon to defend herself. Even though Ahsoka wsa just a Padawan, she had more skill with a lightsaber, and quickly defeated Parasitti before interrogating her. Under questioning, Parasitti revealed that the focus of the break-in was the storeroom where the Jedi kept their ancient holocrons. (OWS, CWTV23)

Paratus, Kazdan
This Aleena Jedi Knight was known for his love of technology. He was appointed to serve as the Jedi Temple's chief engineer, and was even given a full workshop near the Temple. During the era of the Clone Wars, Master Paratus was forced out of seclusion to serve with the Grand Army of the Republic, He studied the battle droids of the Separatist armies, and eventually cobbled together his own squad of droid soldiers. To enhance his slight appearance and enable himself to confront the Separatist forces, Paratis created four articulated, mechanical arms that were attached to a frame that mounted ot his back. These arms gave him a more menacing appearance, and allowed him to attack several opponents at once. His lightsaber was also unusual in that it had two blades, one of which was longer than the other, and the weapon became known as a light-pike. Master Paratus managed to survive the slaughter that accompanied the execution of Order 66 during the Clone Wars because his droid troops were not aware of the command, but the incredible loss of life among his fellow Jedi drove Paratus insane.

He fled to Raxus Prime, where he found it easy to immerse himself in the discarded pieces of technology and forget the rest of the galaxy. He erased any traces of his existence from Jedi records, and lived out a life of altered reality and increasing dementia. He sent so far as to construct a duplicate of the Jedi Temple from the junk he found on Raxus Prime. He created a number of junk golems to help him protect his new home, several of which were designed to look like members of the Jedi Council. Master Paratus survived on Raxus Prime for many years, until his presence was discovered by Darth Vader. Vader sent his secret apprentice, the man known as Starkiller, to eliminate Paratus.

Master Paratus confronted the apprentice, drawing on the Force to send his junk golems against the Starkiller. Unfortunately, the junk golems did not fight as well as the Jedi Masters they represented, and Master Paratus was soon forced into battle himself. Moving about like a crazed insect, he tried to draw the apprentice into a direct confrontation. The apprentice, however, chose to simply grab Master Paratus with an intense Force choke, then drew upon the Dark Side of the Force to fling Master Paratus' body back and forth against the junk. Master Paratus tried to resist, but the pounding and beating soon caused internal damage to his body. Lamenting the fact that he had failed his pretend Jedi Council, Master Paratus soon succumbed to his injuries and died. (SWMW, OWS, TFUN)

Parcelus Minor
This relatively unimportant world was the site of a savage battle during the height of the Clone Wars. The planet itself was unremarkable, with only a few landmasses that were dominated by odorous swamp forests. These forests, however, were amazingly fast-growing, and the native populations struggled on a daily basis to keep the plantlife in check. Those who had visited Parcelus Minor often commented that the planet had "too much life" to be normal. The forces of the Army of the Republic were woefully unprepared for the scope of the Separatist forces on the planet, and were outnumbered ten-to-one before a rogue Separatist General took matters into his own hands. He ordered an orbital bombardment of Parcelus Minor, destroying Republic and Separatist forces alike in order to take control of the planet. The plantlife on the planet immediately caught fire, since it exuded the resin known as tzeotine, setting the entire plant ablaze in no time. (RDE)

Parck, Voss

He quickly earned command of the Strikefast, and later overruled Mosh Barris' command to wipe out an strangely inhabited world in the Unknown Regions, thereby bringing Thrawn to the Emperor's attention. Barris felt that Parck's actions cost him his career, as Thrawn was embraced by the Emperor and Parck was promoted along with the alien. When Thrawn was exiled to the Unknown Regions for a political snafu, Palpatine also banished Parck, demoting him from Captain to Commander and assigning him to the crew of the Admonitor as Captain Niriz's first officer. While Thrawn eventually returned to the known galaxy, Parck disappeared from active duty when Thrawn established a compound on the planet Nirauan. Parck remained there, guarding what became known as the Hand of Thrawn. (TFE, VOF, SWJ7, SWJ11)

However, the tops of the pillars were also the home of a species of predatory avian creature. This led to the Pashvi developing a distanced emotional state among themselves and other things of value, as they were both drawn to and afraid of their primary source of food. This social distinction was obvious in their artwork. (OF)

She fled to the New Republic, turned over the shuttle, and applied for starfighter training. She even asked to join Wraith Squadron, after hearing of their assault on the Implacable, and joined the squadron shortly before they were assigned to take out Warlord Zsinj. Dia brought a wealth of knowledge about flying starships, but also great deal of information on the activities of smugglers and pirates. She proved herself to be an excellent fighter pilot, both in simulations and in actual combat. She was given the position of Wraith Four, acting as Wes Janson's wingman, following the deaths of Falynn Sandskimmer and Eurrsk Thri'ag. When the Wraiths were assigned to the Mon Remonda in support of the hunt for Warlord Zsinj, she rejected the offer of friendship from Nawara Ven, since she hated everything to do with the planet Ryloth, including those members of the Twi'lek species who managed to avoid slavery. She was also instrumental in the deception of the Hawk-bat Independent Space Force, portraying Captain Seku. In this guise, however, she was forced to execute Castin Donn, who had stowed away on their mission to meet with Warlord Zsinj and was discovered. She complied, realizing that Castin was already near to death, but the action left her with intense psychological scars. She eventually recovered from the shock of killing Castin, and participated in several Hawk-bat raids, including assisting Warlord Zsinj in his attempt to steal the Razor's Kiss from Kuat. Over time, she fell in love with Garik Loran, although they were forced to keep their relationship a secret until decorum allowed. (IF, SOC)

Patch-4
This planet was used as a junkyard during the height of the New Order. The gunrunner Orion Ferret maintained a hidden cache on the planet, where he stored illegal goods that needed to be hidden from Imperial patrols. The four TIE Fighters purchased by the Alliance for the assault on Spindrift were hidden on Patch-4. The surface of the planet was covered with a runny, jelly-like substance which was formed from the various chemicals and organic material that was dumped on the planet over the decades. Orion Ferret took control of the planet during the New Order, placing several Watcher beasts on its surface to protect his cache of weapons. However, Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian, on a mission to purchase the TIE Fighters, discovered how to use a sonic pacifier to quell the Watcher Beasts. Knowing that they had been tricked by Ferret, they turned over the sonic pacifier to Serja Kesselrook, allowing the vagabond and his friends to take control of Patch-4 for their own use. (LTA5, MC59)

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

Pathfinder
This Vangaard scoutship was extremely well-armed for its size, affording a scout a great deal of protection in a compact starship. It was also one of the first ships of its kind to offer a hyperdrive and computer-assisted weapons, some 63 years prior to the Battle of Yavin. The needle-shaped fuselage measured 36 meters in length, with a long cockpit and a pair of front-swept wings at the rear. The Pathfinder required a single pilot to fly, and could transport two passengers along with 40 cubic meters - up to 100 metric tons - of cargo. It was hyperdrive-equipped and shielded, and was armed with a unique laser cannon set-up. The laser cannon could draw power from the shields, as the shields absorbed blaster energy from an attacking ship. This augmented the power of the laser cannon, but would overload the shield generator if it took too many hits. This overload could be rectified by bringing the generator offline and recalibrating it, a relatively easy task to accomplish for a gunner. (GG8, AIR)

Pathfinder III
This Old Republic exploration vessel was responsible for locating the planet Yashuvhu and the mysterious human population which thrived on the planet. (WOTC)

Pathfinders

Pathline Tapcafe
This tavern was located in cityblock Kesk-319 on Brentaal, at the intersection of Route 6903 and Citypath 515. Shortly after the Far Orbit was captured by mutineers, the Pathline was nationalized by Imperial forces on the planet when it was learned the crew of the rogue Nebulon-B frigate were headed there. (FOP)

Pathogen-Based Loyalty Enhancement Program
This Imperial research program was originally funded by COMPNOR. Its mission involved discovering a pathogenic disease that could continually shift its antigen needs, thereby making it impossible to eliminate. The disease could then be unleashed on rebellious worlds, and the Imperials could then arrive with the "cure," an antiviral injection that actually released new forms of the disease into the system. The goal of the program was to instill loyalty to the Empire by forcing people to accept the Imperial cure, making them dependent upon it for their very survival. The work of Doctor Fesjo Negleem eventually created the FNV-23 virus, which was successfully tested on the planet Sedesia. However, a team of Alliance agents managed to thwart Doctor Negleem's plans, and obtained complete documentation on the program. (SWJ6)

Patrell, Jav
This Corellian man was a thirty-five-year veteran of many naval battles, serving the forces of the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. Captain Patrell took the long route through the military ranks, preferring to get his hands dirty in combat, rather than sitting behind a desk. During the months that followed the Battle of Endor, Captain Patrell was given command of the interdiction ship Wait a Minute. Patrell openly questioned the New Republic's plans for an attack on Lord Shadowspawn's base on Mindor, since the planet was ringed with hundreds of pieces of debris that were left over from the Big Crush. When the initial stages of the battle went poorly, Captain Patrell and his fellow officers were glad to see the arrival of Lando Calrissian's reinforcements. However, the Republic's forces were unprepared for the use of gravity weapons by the Imperials, forcing Calrissian to put into motion a daring plan that would use the Imperial weapons against the forces of Lord Shadowspawn. Captain Patrell and the other C-7700/E commanders used their gravity well projectors to deflect gravity weapons back at their sources, a tactic that caused untold damage to the surface of Mindor and resulted in the loss of the Hold 'Em. However, in the final stages of the battle, Lord Cronal directed his pilots to fly suicide missions against the Republic's ships. The Wait a Minute was at the forefront of the fighting, and was destoyed as wave after wave of TIE Interceptors smashed into her hull. Captain Patrell and all hands aboard ship wre killed when the Wait a Minute exploded. (LSSM)

Patriarch
This was the title given to the leader of the Supreme Council on the planet Skye. The position of Patriarch was alternately chosen from the Highland and Lowland Clans, with each clan holding the position for forty-two years before turning control over to the other clan. (GMR1)

Patriim System
This star system was the site of the development of the Imperial weapons station, the Tarkin. (EGC)

Patriot
This was the alias used by Filvian, the Brolfi who was Kinman Doriana's primary contact on Barlok, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Patriot led a group of Brolfi insurgents who wanted to eliminate the Corporate Alliance's hold on Barlok mining operations, and accepted information and materials from Doriana - known by the alias Defender - for building a missile. Their plan was to have the missile explode in the conference room where Passel Argente was meeting with Guildmaster Gilfrome and the Brolfi government. Unknown to Patriot and his supporters, they were being tapped by Doriana as part of a larger plot that was put in motion by Darth Sidious. The primary goal was to eliminate Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth, in an effort to put an end to the Outbound Flight project. Their plan was ultimately thwarted by C'baoth, who managed to deflect the weapon from its course and save the leaders of both parties. (OF)

Patriot Fist
This Recusant-class light destroyer was constructed for the Confederacy of Independent Systems by a group of Quarren exiles on the planet Minntooine, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Patriot Fist was one of the many Separatist warships deployed to support General Grievous' forces during the First Battle of Coruscant. (X3)

Patriot One
This was the secret codename used by Colonel Hoot, whenever he made contact with General T. Morrow of the Alliance.. (SWGAL)

Patrol Frigate
This Imperial starship was a basic Nebulon-B frigate which was outfitted to act as a deep-space probe ship. The patrol frigate was equipped with a tethered sensor array that trailed behind the ship. The crew complement of the patrol frigate was a mere 456 crewers and just 56 gunners, as much of the basic Nebulon-B design was mothballed for this modification. The array it towed was capable of detecting and intercepting the presence of a large warship passing through hyperspace in its vicinity, and it could even tap into hyperspacial communications. The patrol frigate was not equipped with any form of decryption software, and so any signals it received would have to be passed on for decoding. The patrol frigate was armed with 9 turbolaser batteries, 7 laser cannons, and 3 ion cannons, as well as a pair of tractor beam projectors. It could transport up to 400 troops if needed. (CTD)

Patrol Plaza
This was the primary law enforcement center found on the planet Taris, during the era of the Great Sith War. (KOR1)

Patrol ZG7
This Imperial starfleet was under Vader's control during the occupation of Harix. (CSWEA)

Patrolian
This short-statured alien race was distinguished by its pale, pastel-colored scales and long, fin-like limbs. A crest ran down the back of the head of the average Patrolian, and two fin-like frills hung from its jowls. A wide fin-shaped tail provided further evidence of this humanoid race's piscene ancestors. The Patrolian physiology was immune to the effects of electrical energy, and the average individual could survive intense electrical shocks. (CWTV22)

Patroller Central
This was the primary port authority building located in the city of Janusar, on Ranklinge, during the height of the New Order. It was located at the corner of Market Street and Fifth. (A)

Pattern Nen-Penth
This was the confirmation code phrase, issued in the form of a question to any being who identified themselves with the phrase "Besh-Senth-Isk-12". The pattern 1, 3, 7, 7 had to be given as the reply, or the original phrase was considered bogus. (GMR10)

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

Pau, Saulis
This former Imperial Army soldier became a bounty hunter after serving his time with Empire. He was one of the few Imperial hunters who operated out of Feris City during the last years of the New Order. (GG10)

Pau City
This city, established in the Pau Sinkhole, was ostensibly the capital of the planet Utapau, during the final years of the Old Republic. Like all such sinkhole cities, Pau City's upper levels were continually buffeted by the hyperwinds that scoured the surface of Utapau. These levels were set aside for the construction by large windmills that generated huge amounts of free power. A total of eleven levels were found within Pau City's environs, with the middle levels being used for residences and the lower levels being used for mining and productions. Shortly after the First Battle of Coruscant, when General Grievous fled the Core Worlds and hid on Utapau, he established a base of operations in Pau City. The city then became a battleground when Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived to destroy Grievous, as the battle droids of the Separatists fought against the clone troopers who accompanied Kenobi to Utapau. More than half the city was damaged to destroyed in the fighting. (OWS, E3N, SWCL)

Pau Sinkhole
This was the name of the natural sinkhole in which Pau City was constructed, on the planet Utapau. (SWCL)

Pau'an
This race of tall, gray-skinned humanoids was native to the planet Utapau. It was believed that the Pau'ans, like their cousins the Utai, were descended from the colonists who first settled Utapau, some 57,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. For many generations, the Pau'ans lived on the surface of the planet, separate from the Utai. They were eventually driven underground by the increasingly arid enviroment of the planet's surface, in the wake of the climate change that caused scouring winds to blow across its surface.

Although the Pau'ans made up just thirty percent of Utapau's population, their size and longevity gave them the ability to dominate the rulership classes of the planet. The average Pau'an had a lifespan of more than 200 years, and preferred to eat raw meat. Double rows of sharp teeth filled the upper and lower jaws of the average Pau'an, allowing them to rip apart their food. Interestingly, Pau'ans preferred the darkness of the underground cities, despite their natural history as surface-dwellers. Because of their long lifespans, the Pau'ans were often referred to as Ancients.

The head of the Pau'an displayed evolutionary adaptations to living on the planet's surface, including vestigial ear-disks that lacked lobes which might have been damaged by wind-blown sand. The appearance of the average Pau'an instilled fright or fear in many beings, despite the fact that most Pau'ans were among the most friendly races in the galaxy. (OWS, VD3, E3N, SWCL, NEGA, WOTC)

Pau'an
This was the name used to describe the various dialects spoken on the planet Utapau. Because there were many distinct dialects, the misinterpretation of Pau'an often resulted in conflicts between groups. (VD3)

Pauc'on
This barren, rocky world was the third planet in the Ralltiir System. It was orbited by two moons. (CCW)

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

Paulking XIV
This planet was home to several unusual species, including fur-bearing fish, flying crabs, and talking algae. (LCM, GMR5)

Paulness, Zinn
This Senator was part of the group that supported Senator Philo's efforts to block the Enhanced Privacy Invasion Bill, during the era of the Clone Wars. During a meeting with Senator Philo, Senator Paulness and several other Senators were captured and held hostage by Cad Bane, as part of a plan to free Ziro the Hutt from prison. (CWTV22, OWS)

Paulsen, Drake
This young smuggler, a native of the planet Socorro, began working with his father Kaine at the age of five. It was rumored that Drake made his first deal at the age of three, negotiating the exchange of goods between himself and Jabba the Hutt. Although the exchange was simply three blasters which Drake held for a basket of warm honeystix, Jabba was impressed with, and entertained by, Drake's actions. Jabba dubbed the young boy "the Little Prince of Socorro." Drake learned everything he could from his father, Kaine Paulsen, and Drake strove to ensure that his father's teachings and morals were never compromised. When Kaine was killed on Socorro, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Drake took control of his father's businesses and expanded them rapidly. Drake also hunted down and killed his father's murderer, a Twi'lek member of the Black Bha'lir known as Izzat. This earned Drake a bounty on his head of over 100,000 credits. He was forced to lay low in Jabba the Hutt's court for a year before emerging as a free man. However, Drake never became a member of the Black Bha'lir, though he did get caught up working for Abdi-Badawzi. He later retired to Redcap with Toob Ancher. (SWJ2, SWJ12, BSS)

Paulsen, Kaine
Known on Socorro as Chu'la, Kaine was a smuggler of some repute who often worked with Toob Ancher. Early in his career, Kaine was a gifted pilot who served the Black Bha'lir, and was referred to as the "Socorran Scourge" by many independent spacers. He married a young Socorran woman, and they would have lived together with a son if the wife hadn't died at childbirth. The infant, whom Kaine named Drake, was brought into the world by his father and a Coynite warrior named Tra'Parr'Sratt. It was Sratt who gave Drake the nickname Lom, which meant "freedom" in the Coynite language. Over the years, Kaine's smuggling activities attracted the notice of Abdi-Badawzi, who never failed to become angry with Kaine's independent streak. Eventually, the Twi'lek captured the thirty-five-year-old Kaine and held him captive, forcing Drake to take on a mission with Elias Halbert in order to free him. The mission went as planned, and Kaine was freed to return to his son. Kaine met his untimely death when he was killed by the Twi'lek Izzat on Thrugii, while trying to deliver smuggled supplies to the miners there. This left Drake to take over the smuggling business, having learned everything Kaine could teach him. (SWJ2, SWJ5, SWJ12, BSS)

Pavan
This was one of the more common surnames encountered on the planet Corellia. (CN1)

Pavan, Jax
This young boy was the son of Lorn Pavan. After Lorn's wife, Siena, left them, Lorn took Jax to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Jax was sensitive to the Force, and Lorn hoped that he could enlighten his son's life through the Jedi training. Unfortunately for Lorn, the Jedi simply took Jax away and forbade him from seeing Lorn again until his training was complete. Before he was killed, however, Lorn programmed his protocol droid, I-5YQ, to return to Coruscant and look after Jax. I-5YQ lost portions of his memory in the confusion that followed Lorn's death, but eventually recovered enough of its memories to learn of his true mission. During the height of the Clone Wars, I-5YQ was able to return to Coruscant with Den Dhur, and set out to locate Jax.

Jax, meanwhile, had been trained as the Padawan learner of Even Piell, and had become friends with Anakin Skywalker. It was during their training as Padawans that Anakin gave Jax the gift of a pyronium gemstone. During his training, it was learned that Jax had the uncanny ability to "read" the connections and possible futures associated with a given being or object. This ability was not always perfect, but it manifested itself as a collection of strands that eminated from the being's aura in the Force. In his mind's eye, Jax could see how these strands intertwined with those associated with the being. He could also see how these strands transcended time and space, allowing him to get a sense of the being's actions and impact on the future. He completed his training as a Jedi Knight, and had been Knighted three months before the end of the Clone Wars. Unfortunately, his first solo mission was also his last. Before he could settle into his new role, the execution of Order 66 took away everything he had ever known.

After escaping the destruction of the Jedi Order, Jax fled into the underworld of Coruscant, assuming the guise of a bounty hunter. He did not change his name, since "Jax Pavan" was a common Corellian name, and there were literally millions of beings on the planet with the same name. In addition, Jax felt that his true name as all that he had left from his previous life in the Jedi Temple. He did cut his hair short and dyed it black, and he dressed in the common Corellian styles to avoid attracting attention. Unfortunately, his secret was discovered by Rokko the Hutt when the crimelord tried to renege on a bounty that was owed to Jax, and sent his thugs to kill him. Jax was forced to draw upon the Force to survive, and his Jedi training refused to let him kill them. They returned to Rokko and explained what they had seen, forcing Jax to go into hiding as much as possible.

Jax wrestled with his decision to let the thugs live, and many times an inner voice urged him to simply give himself up and let go of life. Jax, however, had no intentions of giving up, and chose to approach the rest of his life as a Jedi Knight would. He wasn't sure if he could accomplish this, however, after a group of stormtroopers nearly apprehended him. Only the timely appearance of Nick Rostu saved his life, and the pair made quick work of the Imperial soldiers. Then, over a sulyet meal, Nick related Master Piell's dying request to Jax: locate the droid 10-4TO, otherwise known as Bug-Eyes, before the Empire could acquire the droid.

Jax enlisted the help of Laranth Tarak in a crazy scheme to gain Rokko's assistance in locating 10-4TO, and it was in Rokko's palace that Jax first encountered the droid known as I-5YQ. The droid seemed agitated and excited to meet him, and then claimed to have been a friend of Jax's father. Since he knew nothing about either of his parents, Jax was skeptical about the droid's claims. He probed the droid with the Force, and was shocked to find a spark of consciousness inside its technological innards. This cascade of events was too much for Jax to bear, and he stalked away from the droid, refusing to acknowledge it claims.

Shortly after escaping Rokko's palace, Jax met up with Nick Rostu. However, it was also during this time that Jax discovered he was having trouble connecting with the Force. It would abandon him at the most inopportune times, and Jax came to fear that he might never be able to touch the Force again. However, the demands of Master Piell's mission pressed upon him, and Jax was forced to put aside his worries and search for 10-4TO. The search took the group to the Factory District of Coruscant, where they found that 10-4TO had already been located by Kaird and Prince Xizor. Xizor ordered the droid to attack them, forcing Jax and the others to fight for their lives. While Nick tried to engage Xizor, Jax found himself confronted by the droid he had been searching for. Without the Force, Jax struggled to find an opening, then plunged a dagger into 10-4TO's metallic innards. The droid staggered backward and fell from a ledge.

When he turned around, Jax was saddened tofind that Nick had been flung against a wall by Xizor, and that his body had fallen onto a sharp piece of transparisteel. The metal had pierced Nick's chest, and there was no way to stop the bleeding. As Nick passed into unconsciousness, he told Jax that Darth Vader was searching for him. When he stood up, Jax found himself facing Prince Xizor, who attacked him with an energy whip. It was then that Jax found he could touch the Force again, and he drew his lightsaber to defend himself. Although Xizor was able to escape, Jax had no time to savor his victory, as he sensed the approach of Darth Vader himself. In order to throw Vader off their trail, Jax ignited his lightsaber and dropped it point-first into the abyss, hoping that Vader woud find it and believe that Jax had been killed.

As they prepared to escape from the Factory District, I-5YQ discovered that Nick was still alive. Jax asked the droid to carefully retrieve Nick's body, and as he watched the droid carry out this act, Jax discovered that he had come to think of the droid as a friend. Although Vader nearly apprehended them, Jax and his companions, a group that now included Kaird of the Nediji, managed to reach the Far Ranger, the freighter that Nick had used to locate them. Jax ordered them to take off before Vader could find them, and feared the worst when a tall shadow crossed the main boarding ramp. However, the being turned out to be Haninum Tyk Rhinann, and Jax simply grabbed the Elomin and dragged him aboard so that they could make their escape.

After Rhinann explained that the search for 10-4TO was simply part of an elaborate scheme developed by Darth Vader to flush out Jax and other Jedi, Jax decided that he needed to remain on Coruscant and find a way to bring down the Dark Lord. In the meantime, he and his new-found friends took on the role of private investigators, using their public activities to help cover their work for the Whiplash organization. It was while working with Whiplash that he first met Gregar Typho. When Jax eventually asked I-5YQ to tell him everything the droid knew about his father, Lorn, the droid gave him a fairly detailed explanation, but it was Rhinann who later told Jax that Lorn Pavan had been killed by a Sith Lord. In the meantime, Den Dhur and Jax managed to discover that the domestic droid owned by Vlacan and Kirma Umber had committed the murder of Ves Volette, clearing the Vindalian couple of any crimes. Upon returning to their apartments, Jax was surprised to find that someone had delivered a working lightsaber to him, assuming that it had come from Gregar Typho. He then revealed that Dejah Duare had insisted that he continue to receive a stipend from her bank accounts, in order to keep funding his efforts to help those beings who were being squashed by the Galactic Empire.

After Jax and his comrades ensured that Dejah caught her transport back to Zeltros, they were attacked by Aurra Sing, who had been tasked by Darth Vader to kill Jax. The bounty hunter badly injured Laranth Tarak before attacking Jax, and Jax discovered that the lightsaber that had been delivered to his residence had once been Aurra Sing's. In a moment of inspiration, Jax lured Aurra Sing into a position where she fell into a reposticator and was buried in its refuse. He then rescued Laranth and returned to the conpat he shared with his friends, although their work with the Whiplash organization was soon disrupted by two events. First, Tuden Sal arrived on their doorstep to ask that I-5YQ cary out a mission to assassinate Emperor Palpatine. Although his friends immediately rejected the idea, Jaxn could not help but believe that maybe the galaxy might be better off without Palpatine. Second, Jax discovered the existence of Kajin Savaros, a Force-sensitive young man on the run from Imperial Inquisitors. Savaros had killed one Inquisitor already, which had drawn the attention of Prefect Pol Haus. Haus demanded to know what Jax knew about the murder of the Inquisitor, and then surprised Jax by explaining that he knew Jax was a Jedi. Jax felt comfortable that Haus would keep the secret, but he also knew that he had to keep Kajin safe.

Knowing that both Sal's request and Kajin's existence were tied to Whiplash, Jax arraned to meet with Thi Xon Yimmon, hoping that the Cerean rebel would help him find the correct course of action. However, Yimmon provided him with no concrete guidance to follow, although he did explain that any action that could potentially save the lives of billions of beings was certainly worth the life of one being, droid or not. Thus, it was somewhat surprising when Jax initially refused to support Sal's plan. He explained that he could not determine if the use of I-5YQ to assassinate Emperor Palpatine would place him on the same level as Darth Vader, and until he could reconcile this question, he would not place I-5YQ's existence in jeopardy. The answer came during a casual discussion with I-5YQ, in which Jax spoke about wishing that his father were still alive to provide him with guidance. This activated a subroutine called Memory Mode 99 in the droid's programming, and Jax was presented with a holographic message from Lorn Pavan. The message explained that Lorn was going to try to hunt down Darth Maul in order to honor the memory of Darsha Assant, in an attempt to complete her mission. Jax knew then and there that he had to complete his father's mission, to bring down the Sith and ensure that other beings did not suffer because of them.

Jax was forced to re-evaluate his decision after Kajin was nearly captured by Probus Tesla and his Imperial Inquisitors. Jax and I-5YQ rushed to Kaj's aid, and during the fighting and ther subsequent escape, Jax suddenly discovered that he could sense I-5YQ through the Force, much like he could a living being. This meant that the droid's seeming anonimity was no longer a valid reason to send it into the Imperial Palace, since Emperor Palpatine might sense the droid as surely as Jax had. Tuden Sal refused to accept Jax's change of heart, and accused Jax of making up I-5YQ's Force presence as a way to weasel out of the assassination mission. Jax grew frustrated with the Sakiyan, but refused to give him. He returned to their residence with a feeling of unease that had nothing to do with the meeting with Tuden Sal. Through the Force, he experienced a sensation of breathing spice gas and Zeltron pheromones, and realized that there had been trouble when Laranth Tarak moved Kaj to a new safehouse. Jax then tracked down the Inquisitors to the Imperial Security Bureau building, where he could sense Laranth's presence but not that of Kaj.

Jax and his companions came to the realization that Darth Vader might want not only himself, but the sample of bota that had been entrusted to I-5YQ. He arranged to meet with the Dark Lord, if only to get inside the ISB building and location his friends. Haninum Tyk Rhinann was able to use his former Imperial connections to arrange a meeting with Vader, with Jax sending his message from a remote and secure location. Although he was shaken by the haggard appearance of Laranth, Jax agreed to negotiate with Vader. I-5YQ accompanied him, refitted to look like a protocol droid and ready to carry out the assassination mission if the opportunity arose. Rhinann and Dejah also went with him, with Dejah there to calm Kajin upon his release, and Rhinann volunteering for reasons only the Elomin knew. When they met with Vader, Jax was surprised and saddened when Vader immediately demanded the sample of bota, and Dejah admitted that she did not know which of the others had it. Jax knew then and there that Dejah had been the informant that had given away information on the plan to move Kaj, and explained why he had sensed her pheromones along with the spice gas that was used to drug Kaj into submission.

Vader then demanded that I-5YQ turn over the bota, or be forced to witness the torture and death of both Jax and Laranth. Jax sensed Laranth through the Force, and he suddenly was aware that I-5YQ had entrusted the bota to her. Vader sensed some connection between Jax and Laranth and, fearing that they might try something, he used the Force to pin Jax to the wall. Laranth blurted out that she had the bota, hoping to save Jax from any injuries. Vader took the sample and injected it into his system, and was immediately consumed by the Cosmic Force. Vader became a living weapon, spewing blasts of Force energy in every direction. I-5YQ was badly damaged, and Dejah Duare was killed by the blasts. Jax tried to deflect the Force energy with his lightsaber, but was attacked by Probus Tesla. Tesla might have bested Jax, had he not be struck by one of the energy blasts and smashed into a pile of machinery. In the chaos that followed, Vader managed to capture both Jax and Kaj with ribbons of Force energy, and drew them to himself in a kind of deadly embrace. However, Rhinann chose this time to burst from his hiding place and attack Vader, railing at the Dark Lord for stealing the bota and eliminating Rhinann's one chance to connect with the Force. Both Vader and Rhinann then tumbled out a window, and smashed into the pavement below.

Jax managed to get Kaj under control, although the boy was wild-eyed and violent after Vader's death. However, upon returning to a Whiplash safehouse, Jax and Laranth determined that Vader had not simply brainwashed Kaj, but had stripped the boy's mind of all memories, including his ability to connect with the Force. Thi Xon Yimmon suggested that the boy be sent to Shili, where he could be tended and treated by Togrutan healers and members of The Silent who were working on the planet. Jax was forced to agree that this was the right thing to do, but could not bring himself to accompany Kaj on the journey. He knew that he still had work to do on Coruscant, and so he and Laranth saw Kajin off at a local spaceport. As they turned to leave, Jax and Laranth sensed through the Force something that they had known all along, that they were meant to be together, although they agreed to let it work itself out naturally, rather than rushing headlong into a relationship. Jax had also experienced another revelation after the encounter with Vader. His own unique ability had given Jax a Force image of Darth Vader that was very similar to the aura that had been cast by Anakin Skywalker. Assuming that Jax saw the Force as a unique pattern of tangled lines for each being in the galaxy, Jax could only surmise that Vader was actually Anakin Skywalker. (DMSH, MJH, CN1, CN2, CN3)

Pavan, Lorn
This Corellian man was a respected accountant and information broker until his life started falling apart. Lorn and his wife, Siena, had just one son, a boy named Jax who showed a connection to the Force. Sometime before the onset of the Clone Wars, the Jedi Council approached Lorn about taking in his son for training, but Lorn and Siena resisted their attempts to spirit away their only son. Imperial records of Lorn's life held little concrete information about what happened next, but what was known for certain was that Lorn lost his job and Jax was taken in by the Jedi Order. A grievance was filed, but it was buried in paperwork, and Lorn never saw his son again. Siena left him, and when he tried to locate his son, the Jedi of Coruscant shephered Jax away and forbid Lorn from seeing him.

In despair, Lorn found himself cast out into the streets of Coruscant, where he met the droid, I-5YQ. Although the pair became friends, they were left without any credits and forced to live in the bowels of the planet Coruscant, grubbing a life in any way they could. Unlike most beings, Lorn considered I-5YQ to be his equal, rather than a possession or a tool. However, the droid's companionship did not eliminate the pain Lorn felt at losing Jax. Lorn came to hate the Jedi with every fiber of his existence, and was loath to say anything good about them. He believed that his luck had changed when Hath Monchar agreed to sell him information about the impending Trade Federation blockade of Naboo, only to be thrust into the intrigues of Darth Maul and his master, Darth Sidious.

Lorn managed to recover Monchar's crystal holocron with the information about the blockade, and was joined in his struggle by the failed Jedi Padawan, Darsha Assant. Along with I-5YQ, they nearly survived to get off Coruscant. However, just as Lorn was starting to like Darsha, she was killed in battle with Darth Maul, providing Lorn and I-5YQ with a chance to escape. I-5YQ temporarily encased them in carbonite as Darsha set off a huge explosion, hoping to kill off Maul. Unfortunately, Maul survived. Lorn swore to hunt the Sith lord down, and nearly succeeded. Maul proved too much, however, and Lorn was forced to turn to the first person he recognized for help. To Lorn's dismay, this turned out to be Senator Palpatine from Naboo, who realized that Maul had not completely finished his quest for his alter ego, Darth Sidious. Palpatine turned Lorn over to Maul, who executed the human with a killing swipe of his lightsaber. I-5YQ later related the story of Lorn's death to his son, Jax, stating the Lorn died a hero's death in avenging a Jedi in battle.

Haninum Tyk Rhinann later tried to dig through Imperial records to piece together Lorn's story, hoping that he could find the connection between Lorn, I-5YQ, and the events surrounding the Battle of Drongar. (DMSH, CN1, CN2)

Pavan, Siena
This woman was married to Lorn Pavan, and fathered his only son, Jax. Siena walked out on their marriage shortly before Jax was taken in by the Jedi Knights, having objected to the idea of giving up her only son. Although Lorn had initially supported her resistance to the Jedi, he may have allowed the Jedi to take Jax when he was forced out of his job at the Jedi Temple. Although he wasn't sure of the specifics, Jax felt certain that Siena had died at some point during his training as a Jedi, because he could no longer sense her in the Force. (DMSH, CN1, CN2)

Pavia System
This Tapani Sector star system was part of the holdings of House Cadriaan during the New Order. (LOE)

Pavilion
This planet's starports were notorious for the slave trade which passed through them. (SSR)

Pavillion
This was the largest of the underwater cities built by the Iskalonians on their homeworld of Iskalon. The city was destroyed when an Imperial missile was launched from the citadel on Gamandar, shortly before the Battle of Endor. The missile nearly hit the Millennium Falcon, which was carrying Lando Calrissian, Chewbacca, and Mone on a mission to infiltrate the Imperial citadel on Gamandar. The missile struck a remote section of Iskalon's ocean, and the Iskalon Effect took over swiftly, creating a huge tidal wave. The immense pressure of the tidal surge smashed much of the transparisteel that formed Pavillion's outer walls, flooding the city and forcing a complete evacuation of any non-Iskalonians. (MC74, MC75)

Pavo Prime
During the early years of the New Republic, this planet was known for its casinos. Han Solo once managed to break the bank at a Pavo Prime casino, and framed the set of thousand-credit chips he won as a souvenir. The planet orbited a huge blue sun, which provided plenty of light and warmth without much glare. The planet's oceans were noted for the incredible variety of creatures that inhabited them, and exotic species were often harvested and sold to collectors and breeders. (AFA, SWI67, FJ3)

Pawa
This was the Huttese word for "power." (GMR5)

Pawalo District
The New Republic Intelligence agency maintained a backup computer system in this district of Coruscant's Imperial City, in the years after the Battle of Bilbringi. (CTD)

Pawei Juice
A tart drink. (BTS)

Pawn
This was the term used by Lord Shadowspawn to describe any being who served as the leaders of his Imperial forces. Pawns carried out Shadowspawn's most important tasks, including the choosing of new Elects, and were distinguished by their red robes and the strange Crowns that they wore on their heads. These Crowns projected a static holomask in front of the Pawn's face, so that their true identities and their expressions could be hidden from the masses. Among the primary duties of a Pawn was the seeking out of new candidates to join Lord Shadowspawn's army. Pawns moved through the prisoners and captives at the Sorting Center on Mindor, looking for viable candidate who might have some sensitivity to the Force. A slashing motion of a Pawn's hand meant an individual was not worthy, and one of Shadowspawn's stormtroopers would then shoot the individual dead. If the Pawn pointed at an individual, they were rendered unconscious with the use of a neural stunner, then taken away for reconditioning. These recruits were known as Elects, and were eventually made into Pawns themselves, so that they could prove their loyalty to Lord Shadowspawn. Pawns very rarely spoke, preferring to use their sepulchral arms and hands to signal their orders. However, once a being had undergone the Pawning process, they were not to be disobeyed, or one would risk the anger of Lord Shadowspawn himself.

What few beings realized was that Lord Shadowspawn was simply a Pawn himself, albeit a Pawn with a strong connection to the Force. Shadowspawn and the others Pawns were really the tools of Lord Cronal, who had chosen them for their connection to the Force in an attempt to further his own plans to follow the Way of the Dark. Cronal, however, believed that he had chosen his Pawns for their connection to the Dark, which was the destructive energy that existed throughout the universe. The Crown that was worn by a Pawn was a piece of Sith technology that used fine crystals of meltmassif to connect it to the Pawn's brain. When Cronal donned the Sunset Crown, he was able to communicate through the meltmassif and force the Pawn to do his bidding, as he schemed to take over the body of Luke Skywalker. Once Skywalker was converted, the combined energies of Cronal's forty Pawns would help him transfer his consciousness across the meltmassif crystal network into Skywalker's brain. However, Skywalker discovered that, when he punched Lord Shadowspawn in the forehead, he removed the man's helmet and cracked the crystalline matrix in his head. Luke then found a way to use his lightsaber to destroy the Crowns of the other Pawns, freeing them from Lord Cronal's control. Unfortunately, this act did not come without a cost, and all the Pawns were killed when they were suddenly cut off from their master. (LSSM)

Pawning
This was the term used by the minions of Lord Shadowspawn to describe the process by which a being who was chosen to serve Shadowspawn was converted into a Pawn. Those beings who were selected from the Sorting Center to join Shadowspawn's forces were known as Elects, and they were stunned into unconsciousness by Pawns, who then dragged them into the Election Center. In this chamber, the Elect was placed on the Pawning Table and encased in meltmassif stone, leaving only their head visible. The skull of the Elect was then cut open and the top half removed, at which point the Elect was brought back to consciousness. The shock of awakening to find that one was encased in stone was replaced by the sudden reactions to the effects of neural probes, as the Pawns stimulated various parts of the Elect's brain to locate certain junctions of neurons. At each junction, a tiny shard of the meltmassif stone was implanted into the brain, creating a network of crystals that would eventually grow and spread inside the skull. With the implantation completed, the Pawns replaced the skull of the Elect and allowed them to recover. (LSSM)

Pawning Table
This was the term used by the minions of Lord Shadowspawn to describe the slab-shaped block of meltmassif stone that was the focal point of the Election Center, located deep inside Shadowspawn's fortress on the planet Mindor. Those beings who were chosen to become Elects were picked from the Sorting Center and stunned into submission, before being dragged onto the Pawning Table. Shadowspawn's Pawns then used their neural stunners to gradually heat up the meltmassif stone of the Pawning Table until it was just pliable enough that a depression could be formed in its center. The Elect was then placed in the depression, and the meltmassif stone was heated once again until it flowed around the Elect, then the entire Pawning Table was allowed to cool and harden. Once the table had solidified, the Pawning process could begin, in which the skull of the Elect was cut open so that shards of meltmassif stone could be implanted in their brain. (LSSM)

Paws
This mysterious figure joined the struggle to fight back against the newly-founded Galactic Empire, in the wake of the Clone Wars. It was later discovered that Paws was an alias used by the Jedi Padawan Zonder. (EAP)

Pax Hustana
Manufacturers of shipboard sensor arrays and subspace beacons. (SCRE)

Pax System
This star system was located between the Ropagi and Opiteihr Systems along the Enarc Run. (TSK)

Paxin
This human Alliance sympathizer worked with Palud on Vorzyd 5. The two were captured by Blackhole, along with Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. They managed to escape from Imperial captivity, but Palud was killed during the escape. (CSWEA)

Pay Check
This slang term used by bounty hunters, during the era of the New Order, to describe any bounty that needed to be collected from an Imperial officer. This officer was often located on another planet, requiring additional travel and security after the capture was made. (GG10)

Pay eez pon del riva
This Neimoidian statement was of heard during business transactions. It translated into Basic as "Payment is required upon delivery." (GPB)

Paynees, Reek
This male Gran and his brother, Neek Paynees, were noted criminals who worked for Sebolto during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. A bounty was issued for his capture by an anonymous individual, who simply wanted the "worthless scum" off the streets. The bounty was claimed by Jango Fett, when the bounty hunter traveled to Malastare to meet with Sebolto. (BH)

Payt
This Mando'a word translated into the directive "left" in Basic. (OWS)

Payvees, Neek
This male Gran and his brother, Reek Paynees, were noted criminals who worked for Sebolto during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. A bounty was issued for his capture by an anonymous individual, who simply wanted the "worthless scum" off the streets. The bounty was claimed by Jango Fett, when the bounty hunter traveled to Malastare to meet with Sebolto. (BH)

Pazaak
This card game was developed more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The basic goal of pazaak was to try to get your own cards to total more than the total of your opponent's cards, while not going over a total of 20. A round of pazaak was called a set, and a player needed to win three sets to win a match. What made the game interesting to many beings was the cards used to play pazaak. The basic set of cards was called the Main Deck, and was readily available. Each Main Deck contained forty cards, numbered from +1 to +10. During game play, however, the exact value of a given card was randomly generated by a computer, so marking of one's cards was not only illegal, but fruitless. In theory, a being could draw +1 nine times in a row. In addition to the Main Deck, a Side Deck was also used in play. This Side Deck started out with ten cards, two of each numbered from +1 to +5. More cards could be obtained with values from +1 to +6, -1 to -6, or mixed cards that could be +/-1 to +/- 6, making for a huge variation in the totals one could have in a given hand. There was no limit to the number of cards in the Side Deck. However, certain cards were only available on certain planets, so travel was required in order to obtain them. Match play began with each player selecting ten cards for their Side Deck, then shuffling their Main Deck. Each round within a set, cards were played onto the table for each player, and the card's value was added or subtracted from the player's score as necessary. A player could stop at any time during a round or a set, although their hand was automatically stopped if they reached a score of 20 or were dealt nine cards. A set ended when both players stopped, or when one player's total exceeded 20. At the end of the set, the player with the highest total won the set, although a tie was not counted to either player's total. To win a match, a player had to win three sets. Many players maintained the number of "net wins" against other opponents, as a way to monitor how many matches they had won. By this count, match play stopped whenever a player won a certain number of matches overall. (GMR10, KOTOR)

pazhkic Yuuzhan'tar al'tirrna
This was the term used by the Yuuzhan Vong to describe the mature dhuryam which would be installed on the planet Coruscant, to Vongform the planet into a new version of the longlost planet Yuuzhan'tar. The name translated into Basic as the "World Brain of God's Creche'". (T)

Pazz, Borth
This Lorrdian man threatened to jump to his death if he wasn't allowed entrance to Jedi Master Luke Skywalker training facilities, about ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Pazz, wearing homemade Jedi robes and carrying an old-style lightsaber he had stolen from a museum, demanded that he be trained as a Jedi Knight, despite the fact that he had no sensitivity at all to the Force. Jacen Solo, who was on Lorrd to investigate the death of Siron Tawaler, agreed to talk to Pazz. However, Pazz refused to believe Jacen's words, and demanded to be shown one "Jedi mind trick" or else he would jump. When Jacen refused, Pazz followed through on his threat and jumped. His fall was broken by Nelani Dinn and Ben Skywalker, who used the Force to break his fall. Pazz, who suffered a broken ankle, was taken into custody and given medical and psychiatric treatment. (LF1)

PB-950
A very old model Corellian Engineering Corporation patrol ship. They were first manufactured about 300 years before the Galactic Civil War, and were used by a great many systems to patrol and defend themselves. Production of the PB-950 was halted after the Clone Wars, when larger and more powerful corvettes were starting to be produced. The PB-950 measures 37 meters in length, and required a pilot, co-pilot, and two gunners to operate. The ship had a twin-hull design, with the central section divided into two decks. The upper deck contained the cockpit and weapons emplacements. The ship was capable of transporting up to 180 metric tons of cargo, and up to 8 passengers. The ship was armed with a single quad-laser cannon, a pair of ion cannons, and a concussion missile launcher. (SWJ9)

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

PBY-1457
The designation of the modified freighter Belindi Kalenda used to penetrate the Corellian defense network and land on Corellia, disguised as a trader whose hyperdrive malfunctioned upon re-entry of normal space near Corellia. (AC)

PC2
This was the model number Greff-Timms Industrial's Intimidator pulse-wave cannon. (TOJC)

PCap
This probe droid was captured by the Azzameen family, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)

PCBU
This was an acronym used to describe a Police Cruiser Backup Unit. (DMSH, CN1)

P'Chek
This moon, which orbited the gas giant Denbalen in the Goroth System, was the only one of the planet's seven moons to have an atmosphere. This atmosphere was more than 98 percent oxygen, and ruins on the moon's surface indicated that it supported an ancient civilization similar to that of the Twi'lek people of Ryloth. Most of these ruins were estimated to be more than a billion years old, allowing the moon to live up to its Gorothite name of "Mystery." (GSE)

PCTA
Developed by Golan Arms, the PCTA was a personal combat threat analyzer. It provided an individual with the ability to scan a location for any potential danger. The PCTA used a variety of sensors to pinpoint the types and locations of any weapons nearby, and was programmed to analyze all variable and provide a threat assessment. (GFT)

PCW-876
This was a model of fusion cutter produced by Borallis Metalworking & Materials. (PSG)

PCW-880
This was a model of heavy-duty fusion cutter produced by Borallis Metalworking & Materials. (PP)

PD Unit
This was the designation of the LeisureMech Industries personal helper droid that was developed for use as a personal data assistant, during the final years of the Old Republic. Affectionately known as Peteys, these units sat on the shoulders of an individual, and stored a wealth of personal data for easy access. Information such as an individual's taste in food or beverages, bank account access codes, clothing sizes, and the status of a landspeeder's fuel cells could all be stored in, and monitored by, the PD unit. This freed up an individual from worrying about the small details, allowing them to more efficiently manage their lives. When coupled with citywide data networks, PD units allowed individuals to walk into a tapcaf and order a beverage without ever speaking to a waiter, since the PD unit could place the order for them. This network could also keep track of bank accounts, so paying for the order involved an electronic transfer of credits, almost eliminating the need for hard currency. (LJ6)

PD-0943
Developed and produced by Zemphyr Defenders, Incorporated, this small canister was filled with a mixture of courenth and ves gases. When sprayed in front a being, this mixture effective dampened or dispersed a blaster bolt, providing a measure of protection against being shot. The mixture cloud lasted for about a minute, in calm conditions, which was more than enough time to effect an escape. (GFT)

PD-28
This droid was owned by the evil Doctor Raygar, who badly mistreated it at every opportunity. It was PD-28 who helped Wicket, Teebo, Latara, and Kneesaa escape the evil plans of Doctor Raygar, and later helped them thwart Raygar's plans to steal the Sunstar. (ECAR)

PDA-2
This Trade Federation battle droid was a sub-officer in command of a detachment during the Battle of Naboo. (SON)

PDA6
This droid served Master Zorneth as a medical/repair droid. PDA6 also contained programming that forced him to destroy Zorneth's hidden savorium grove if the Ithorian was ever apprehended. PDA6 performed its duties to the letter when Plort attacked Zorneth's starship. PDA6 initiated the destruct sequence, consuming the savorium, Smiley, and Zorneth in the explosion. (DRO)

P'Dar'Ib
This was the Gorothite term for the local government of a given o'beki. The only o'beki which did not have a dedicated P'Dar'Ib was Graith; the P'Dar'Ken served as the P'Dar'Ib of Graith. Officially, each P'Dar'Ib was subordinate to the P'Dar'Ken, but power struggles often occurred. (GSE)

P'Dar'Ib'Al
This Gorothite term referred to the individual members of the local councils, or P'Dar'Ib, of the planet Goroth Prime. (GSE)

P'Dar'Ken
This was the Gorothite term for the planetary council which governed Goroth Prime. It was made up of the Rel'Kan, who served a five-year term, and twelve P'Dar'Ken'Al, each of which served a four-year term. (GSE)

P'Dar'Ken'Al
This was the Gorothite term for those council members who sat on the P'Dar'Ken. Each P'Dar'Ken'al served a four-year term, although only half of the P'Dar'Ken could be up to re-election at any given time. There was no limit to the number of terms an individual P'Dar'Ken'Al could serve. (GSE)

PDC3141-02
This planetoid was found to microbial forms of life, shortly before the Clone Wars. The University of Sanbra, after discovering the mirobes, petitioned the Old Republic to ban all dumping on the planet. This injunction forced the Trade Federation scow Spotty Conveyor to abandon its mission until a resolution to the issue could be found. (HNN4)

PD-series Protocol Droid
This protocol droid was produced by Cybot Galactica as a way to gain marketshare in the Lurrian markets. Designed to appear similar in stature to Lurrians, the PD series had advanced servomechanics that allowed it to move about on Lur's rugged surface. The delicate hands of the 3PO unit were replaced with heavy gripping untis, and the PDs were given bright coloration to make them stand out in the snowy environment of Lur. However, the Empire's subjugation of Lur forced the Lurrians to reject the PD series, and Cybot Galactica was forced to dump the series onto the open market at wholesale prices. (EGD)

PDV
The PDV was an Imperial Intelligence Tech 4 message pod used by Sector Plexus. PDV stands for Plexus Droid Vessel, for these pods were manned only by droids. The standard "crew" consisted of a captain I2-AM3 (a modified R2 astromech droid), an I2-CG droid for storage and transceiving, and an analysis/encoding computer equipped with a TranLang III communications madule. These ships were designed to send and receive Sector Plexus messages in a system, then jump to the next system. They never had a jump longer than a day, due to their efficient routing algorithms. (ISB)

PDW-50
This small, handheld device was produced by Aeramaxis during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Known as an ionic tingler, the PDW-50 emitted a small cartridge when fired at a target. These cartridges released a collection of plasma particles upon striking the target, forming a localized blast effect that rendered the target unconscious by "tingling" their nervous system with an energy shock. (GFT)

Peace
This was one of the four statues that graced the arrival halls of Coruscant's primary spaceport, during the years following the Swarm War. The abstract statues represented the four key tenets of the Galactic Alliance government: prosperity, progress, culture, and peace. (LF5)

Peace
A city on the lawless world of Korbin. Like all Korbinite cities, it was jokingly given a happy name by the lawless inhabitants of the planet. Peace, along with Happy and Joy, were known as the Small-Timers, because they were less intense than Pleasant City. (PG2)

Peace Brigade
This group of dissidents was formed during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, some twenty-five years after the Battle of Endor. Originally the brainchild of Nom Anor and several others, the Peace Brigade maintained that the Jedi Knights and the New Republic were doing more harm than good in fighting against the Yuuzhan Vong, and advocated the formation of a peace treaty with the Yuuzhan Vong to end the hostilities. The Peace Brigade openly denounced the Jedi Knights, claiming it was their lack of compassion which destroyed Ithor and Obroa-skai. The Peace Brigade was known to have been providing information on planetary defenses to the Yuuzhan Vong, which they had gained from a source that had somehow infiltrated the highest levels of New Republic security. The group decided to prove their loyalty and worth to the Yuuzhan Vong after Reck Desh learned of Elan's seeming defection to the New Republic. The Yuuzhan Vong recognized the usefulness of the group, and executed all the Hutts on the planet Ylesia in order to turn the planet and its glitterstim operations to the Peace Brigade. Working from their new headquarters on the planet Ylesia, they began using credits generated by the sale of glitterstim to fund their operations and the build-up of their military. They used a high-level contact within the Republic to learn of her transport to Coruscant, and prepared to waylay the Queen of Empire in order to capture her and return her to the Yuuzhan Vong. The Brigade was unaware that Elan was acting with the knowledge of the Yuuzhan Vong, and their entire plan to eliminate the Jedi Knights was dashed when the Peace Brigade ambushed the ship. However, the leaders of the Peace Brigade were undaunted in trying to gain power. They insinuated themselves into the plans surrounding the reclamation of Duro's natural environment, manipulating various shipping companies into buying votes within the Duros High House. With the loss of Duro, the Peace Brigade tried to broker a cease-fire with the Yuuzhan Vong by agreeing to turn over the Jedi Knights to the aliens, believing that the only way to save the galaxy was to sacrifice the Jedi. The Peace Brigade went out of their way to locate Jedi Knights, and even tried to capture some beings who were merely Force-sensitive, in an effort to appease the Yuuzhan Vong. When a team of Brigaders tried, but failed, to capture the students at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, the Yuuzhan Vong executed them as sacrifices to their gods. As the war dragged on, the Peace Brigade established a form of government on Ylesia, and attempted to create a naval fleet to augment that of their Yuuzhan Vong superiors. The desire of individual factions within the Peace Brigade to please the alien invaders left little time to actually develop their military, so the Supreme Overlord Shimrra appointed Thrackan Sal-Solo the President of Ylesia and the Commander in Chief of the Peace Brigade. (HT, BP, EVC, EVR, Y, UF)

Peace City
This was the name given to Ylesia's Colony One settlement, after the Peace Brigade took control of the planet and moved their "capital" to the city. Much of Peace City was given over to slave camps, although much of the city was set aside for the Yuuzhan Vong and the Peace Brigade government. (Y)

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

Peace Vote
This was the term used by Senator Viqi Shesh and her supporters to describe the Appeasement Vote. (REC)

Peacebringer
This warship, under the command of Admiral Ratobo, served as the flagship of the Galactic Alliance's Fourth Fleet, during the era of the Alliance's conflict with The Confederation. The Peacebringer was promoted to flag status just before the Fourth Fleet was ordered to defend Balmorra. However, as Admiral Ratobo questioned the orders of Jacen Solo in continuing to press the attack, even after the battle was lost, the Peacebringer came under heavy fire from Huttese warships. The ship was badly damaged and quickly exploded under the attack, and all hands were lost in the explosion. (LF6)

Peacebringer, Aron
This man was the Warlord of the Calian Confederacy, on the planet Shiva IV, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. His marriage to Alisande produced a number of children, although their first-born daughter died of a mysterious disease which Aron himself managed to survive. He was also the blood-brother of Keral Longknife, and worked with his T'Syriel brethren to forge a lasting peace between their two peoples. However, both of them agreed that life on Shiva IV had been happier before the peace accord was signed, when small battles were easily won in comparison to the resistance of the Outcasts. Despite his given name and his work with Keral, Aron was known as a master swordsman who fought with an terrible ferocity that ensured none of his opponents survived a challenge. During a mission to investigate the fate of the city of K'avor, Aron and his companions located Leia Organa, who had crashlanded on the planet. Leia was in the sector to investigate the build-up of Imperial forces in the area, and her shuttle had been hit by a micromine. Aron found himself in love with Leia, despite his happiness with his marriage to Alisande. Alisande, for her part, acknowledged Aron's feelings, but never left his side. Shortly afterward, Aron and Leia were captured by General Sk'ar, who planned to destroy Illyriaqum in an effort to subjugate Shiva IV's population. They managed to escape, and with the help of Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca, they defeated Sk'ar and eliminated his threat.

This Dreadnaught served as part of the command fleet used by Admiral Greelanx during the Battle of Nar Shaddaa. It was commanded by Captain Reldo Dovlis, who kept it in the battle with cunning and skill until the mounting damage became too great. Its starboard engines suddenly gave out, and it began tumbling toward Nar Shaddaa's shields.

Four were killed and two rendered unconscious when Bearsh and his Vagaari staged their insurrection aboard the Outbound Flight. However, the survivors managed to hold their own against the invaders after the various teams of outsiders - Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, Chak Fel and the stormtroopers of the Imperial 501st Legion, and Dean Jinzler and his Chiss companions - began to understand the Vagaari tactics and eliminate their threat.

The meals and holocubes were available shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. (HNN4, OWS)

Peck, Brion
This Alliance Commander was a noted commando whose origins were a closely guarded secret. Rumors surrounded him, claiming he was a terrorist on his home planet or a commando for some unknown military unit. Peck and his team were sent to Rafft shortly before the Battle of Yavin, to sabotage an Imperial garrison there. However, a homing beacon placed on their ship gave them away, and they had to be rescued by Dannen Lifehold. Commander Peck disliked Lifehold as if he were a common mercenary, mainly because woman he loved - Beka Lewis - had been killed by mercenaries several years earlier. (SWJ3)

Peckhum
This older, long-haired man was a freighter pilot who regularly ran supplies to Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 during the early years of the New Republic. Peckhum was the owner of the battered old supply ship, the Lightning Rod. He befriended the boy Zekk, whom he discovered after a supply run to the devastated world of Ennth. He and took him in and cared for him, and eventually made Zekk his apprentice. When Peckhum discovered Zekk's affinity for the Force, he allowed the boy to join the Jedi Academy, and continued to make his supply runs. The New Republic realized that Peckhum's services to the Academy were invaluable, and so they gave him a newer supply ship to replace the aging Lightning Rod. He, in turn, bequeathed the old ship to Zekk, when the boy decided to strike out on his own. (HTF, LO, SHA, AQ)

Pecoppi Parrot
This brightly-colored bird was just barely sentient, and individuals could interact through a crude form of language. Because they were considered exotic pets by many wealthy beings, the pecoppi were often sold at animal shows, despite the prohibition on slavery during the Old Republic. (CCW)

Pectin-fly
This was a species of insect that was native to the planet Kubindi. Kubaz chefs discovered that pectin-flies, as their name implied, had a body chemistry that contained a form of animal pectin that could be used as a substitute for fruit pectins. This allowed the Kubaz, who were known for their insecticulture and their use of insects in their cooking, to use pectin-flies in the creation of jellies and preserves. (OWS)

He was a lifetime officer who hated individuality and variety. A short, stocky man, Pedrin was a fintess fanatic and was always meticulously groomed, further indications of his obsessive/compulsive personality. In his early career with the Imperial military, Pedrin served as the commander of an AT-AT platoon before he was chosen for the position on Hargeeva. He made sure that the Alliance didn't get a foothold in Arginall City, and was known to have kidnapped the relatives of suspected Alliance sympathizers and sent them to labor camps. However, he was unable to catch his greatest opponent, Stevan Makintay, nor could he break Ketrian Altronel and make her reveal the location of Eyrie Base. He was scheduled to be demoted when Makintay captured him on Hargeeva, but the capture was part of Pedrin's master plan to redeem himself. He had placed a tracking device in his arm, which allowed his forces to track his location. His plan succeeded, but Pedrin himself was imprisoned on an Alliance penal colony. (SWJ8, SWJ10)

This was a form of hard currency used in the city of Mos Espa, on Tatooine, during the last decades of the Old Republic. A single peggat was worth about 40 dataries, or 10 truguts. Note that peggats and wupiupi seem to be interchangeable, as the Official Star Wars Website (http://www.starwars.com) uses them both. Also note that Star Wars Insider magazine, issue 80, indicates that a peggat was worth just four trugats. (IG1, OWS, SOT, SWI80)

Pek
This Sedrian was the leader of the city of Fitsay, and the son of the high priest Cardo. A priest in his own right, Pek believed that the Golden Sun was a gift to all Sedrians, a belief that went against his father's own beliefs. When a group of Alliance agents came to Sedri to rescue Mors Odrion, Pek believed that they were on the planet to help the Sedrians, not interfere with them. Again, this went against Cardo's belief, and Cardo ordered Pek to stay away from them. Pek, however, chose to do what he thought was right for the people of Fitsay, and led the agents to the Imperial garrison. They also discovered the location of Karak's base, and discovered the Fala was working with her father. After revealing that Karak and Commander Aban were working to claim the Golden Sun for themselves, Fala decided to move against her father and joined forces with Pek and the Alliance agents. They were able to defeat Karak by helping the Golden Sun scatter itself across the surface of Sedri, breaking Karak's power and leaving him defenseless. Pek and Fala agreed to work toward repairing the rift which had formed in Sedrian society, and eventually were married. (BGS)

Its front legs were located at the first joint of the wing, but were quite small and nearly useless. Its head was dominated by a large, thick lower beak, which it uses to dig for its food. The skin of the peko-peko was fairly toxic, and caused stomach pains an vomiting in many creatures which tried to eat it. The peko-peko was admired by the Gungan people for its beauty and its blood, which contains a powerful anti-venom. Many Gungans have captured individual peko-peko for display in their parks, as they were beautifully colored with indigo-sapphire plumage bordered with yellow. The blood of the peko-peko was discovered to be a powerful anti-toxin to the poisons formed from refined green glie. The peko-peko was known to be an excellent mimic, using its well-developed vocal apparatus to lure its prey closer. The Gungan people have a saying that goes, "If you see two peko-peko together, it was a good omen." (E1N, SON, WSW, SWDB)

Pekt
This Trandoshan was noted for his vehement hatred of Wookiees, even given his species' deep-seated hatred of their neighbors. He was schooled by his clan in the ways of slavery and hunting, and was even consulted by Bossk in the hunting and capture of Wookiees. Pekt was later recruited by the Empire, which needed a skilled bounty hunter to bring free Wookiees under control. During a mission in which Pekt and his mercenary Trandoshans captured an entire Wookiee village, a young Wookiee took Pekt in his arms and ripped off his arms. The Wookiee was executed for this, while Pekt returned to Trandosha to heal and regenerate his arms. When the Empire fully subjugated Kashyyyk, Pekt was called in to lead the effort to enslave the Wookiees and ensure a steady stream of labor for the construction of the first Death Star. (GB)

Pelagia Star
This massive starship was the flagship of the House Pelagia navy, until the Empire took control of the Pella System. It had been built in ancient times, and survived until it came up against a trio of Imperial-class Star Destroyers. It was never actually destroyed by the Imperial ships, but was nonetheless punished. The Pelagia Star was broken into a collection of debris and wreckage, and left to litter the spacelanes above Pelagon. Over time, the natives of Pelagon built the space station Pelagia's Moon from the wreckage. (LOE)

Pelagia's Moon
This was the name of the space station built from the wreckage of the Pelagia Star, in orbit around the planet Pelagon. House Pelagon hoped one day to restore mobility to Pelagia's Moon, giving it a hyperdrive and creating a new flagship for their navy. (LOE)

Pelagon
This ocean-covered planet was the first world settled in Tapani Sector, more than 13,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. It was settled by the ships of the Pella Compact, which maintained government of the original colonies for a thousand years. Over the millennia, cities were built over the warm seas, and great continents were formed from manmade structures. Over time, the wastes of these cities began polluting the oceans, and by the advent of the New Order, the seas of Pelagon were unable to support life. As House Mecetti rose to power, power struggles led to the destruction of many of these cities, further littering the oceans with debris. There were rumors that the ruins of many floating cities were protected by the spirits of the ancient Jedi Knights. Note that the Players Guide to Tapani also refers to this planet as Pelagia. (LOE, PGT)

Pelagon Aquatic Components Corporation
Based on the planet Pelagon, this manufacturer produced a variety of aquatic vehicles for use in the Tapani Sector of the galaxy. It was originally formed by a group of Sienar Fleet Systems engineers, lured to Tapani Sector by House Pelagia to begin creating all varieties of water craft.

Doctor Pelbion was on duty when Denel Herris arrived on an inspection of the facility, looking for information on the possible early release of dangerous prisoners. Unknown to Doctor Pelbion, Denel Herris was actually Bardan Jusik, who was trying to locate Ovolt Qail Uthan. Thus, Pelbion was quite open about the treatment plans and security systems at the Valorum Center, reassuring the other man that the patients there were properly tended to and assessed throughout their incarceration. Doctor Pelbion even admitted that Doctor Uthan was a puzzling patient, although he refused to accept her claims that she was a Separatist scientist who had developed a clone-killing nanovirus. However, the Public Safety Department of Coruscant demanded that she be moved to the Valorum Center, fearing that her perceived ability to create a nanovirus was too dangerous for more conventional prison facilities. (RC66)

Pelek Baw
This was the only permanent settlement established by the Korunnai of the planet Haruun Kal. It was located atop the Korunnal Highland, and served as the planet's capital city. During the Clone Wars, the Balawai leadership of Pelek Baw sided with the Separatists, a fact that rankled in the mind of Jedi Master Mace Windu. His anger was crystallized into action when it was discovered that the Separatists had placed their droid control unit deep beneath the city, in a secure bunker. From this location, the Separatists were able to defend their positions in the Al'Har System, until Master Windu and his ragtag Korunnai forces managed to breach the bunker and shut the system down. During the battle, much of the city was leveled by fire from both sides of the battle, and witnesses said it resembled the caldera of a volcano afterward. (SHPT)

Pelekotan
This was the Korunnai word for the Force. Roughly translated into Basic, it meant "world-power." To the Korunnai, it meant "jungle-mind." Many Jedi Knights found that individuals with strong connections to the pelekotan of Haruun Kal were virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding jungle, since their power was drawn from the life of the jungle itself. (SHPT)

Pelgrin
This Outer Rim planet was once the homeworld of the Pelgrin race, which died out millions of years before the Old Republic discovered the planet. By the time of the Battle of Yavin, Pelgrin was devoid of any form of life, its surface a barren wasteland. What was unusual about Pelgrin was the complete lack of fossil evidence, making investigation into the planet's history virtually impossible. (PJSB)

Pelgrin
This ancient race inhabited the planet Pelgrin, but died out millions of years before the planet was first discovered by the scouts of the Old Republic. From the archaeological record, Old Republci investigators learned that the Pelgrin were not a highly advanced race, but had the uncanny ability to duplicate advanced technology with limited means. In addition to steam engines and mechanical communication devices, the Pelgrin also created the clockwork computer known as the Oracle at Pelgrin. (PJSB)

Peli
This was a common name among Cerean females. Unlike their male counterparts, Cerean females use a single name unless they became a bond-wife. In this case, a female will take on their husband's grandfather's name for official matters. The name Peli indicated water, waves, or a flowing river. (GCG)

Pelkan, Mosh
This Mephitisian crime lord controlled a vast underground network in the city of Gralleenya, on Questal. Pelkan worked from a penthouse suite in his luxury hotel. The suite was equipped with a series of repuslorlift engines that allowed it to separate from the hotel and travel around the planet. It was shaped like a crystal mushroom. Pelkan himself was a purple-skinned humanoid who planned to be a prospector on Questal, hoping to cash in on the ardanium rush there. However, he quickly learned that it was easier to importing certain illicit goods for sale to other prospectors. His penthouse ship contained a gladiator pit in which he pitted his champion, Cromag, against challengers often provided by Moff Bandor. His small empire grew quickly during the ardanium boom, but he started seeing a drop-off in profits when the mines began playing out. (GCQ)

Pelko Bug
This rare insect was believed to exist only in the Valley of the Dark Lords, on the planet Korriban. The pelko bug was noted for its defense mechanism, which consisted of a row of poisoned spines that ran along the dorsal ridge of its carapace. These spines exuded a potent venom that caused living flesh to burn upon contact. The burning was so intense that it blistered the skin in moments. The poison then began to cause temporary paralysis in the muscles, rendering them useless. This allowed the pelko bug to incapacitate prey that was larger that itself. The pelko bug could then latch onto the prey and begin feeding at its leisure. Like several other species that were native to Korriban, pelko bugs were attuned to the Force, and used it to sense the presence of nearby prey. (DBPD)

Pell, Akanah Norand
Born Akanah Norand Goss, Akanah was the daughter of Joreb Goss and Isela Talsava Norand. Akanah was a descendant of the Fallanassi through her mother, Isela, who sent her to live on Carratos when the Empire first sought to take over Lucazec. Akanah lived there as a normal individual, although she was the only Fallanassi on the planet. There, she met and married Andras Pell, and they moved into a home in the city of Chofin. Pell was thirty-six years her senior, and the marriage lasted a only year until Andras passed away. Some time later, she sensed the presence of Luke Skywalker, although she did it through the command of the White Current, rather than the Force. She traveled to Coruscant and found Luke, even though he'd hidden himself away in Darth Vader's old residence. She came to him with an offer to help him find his mother and thereby ease some of his emotional burden.

Akanah took Luke to her homeworld of Lucazec, but they failed to find any information on Luke's mother. They did find a Fallanassi marking indicating where they fled to, and left Lucazec only after battling with Imperial agents left behind to intercept the Fallanassi. They continued to follow a path known only to Akanah, traveling to Teyr and Atzerri before arriving on J't'p'tan. Akanah was very secretive about their search, which worried Luke about her motives. Ultimately, Akanah revealed that she knew nothing about Luke's mother, and simply wanted to ascertain his role in the galaxy. Although she agreed to help the New Republic defeat the Yevetha, Akanah refused to join the rest of galactic society. Instead, she disappeared to a retreat on Pydyr, where she and the Fallanassi settled to renew their contemplation of the White Current.

In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Akanah took on a new student in Jacen Solo, who had been traveling the galaxy in search of the true definition of the Force. She later reported on Jacen's arrival to Luke Skywalker, and openly questioned the new Jedi Order's decision to regard the Force as a single entity, rather than having a Dark Side and a Light Side. She feared that, if they were no longer concerned with good and evil, the modern Jedi would suffer from a lack of guidance and fall victim to their newfound pride. (BTS, SOL, TT, DN1, EGF)

Pell, Andras
This male met and married Akanah on the planet Carratos. He owned a great deal of property and wealth, which he left to Akanah when he died. His death occurred only a year into their marriage; Andras was thirty-six years her senior, and apparently died of old age. (SOL)

Pella Compact
This was the original council which governed the colony ships which settled the planet Pelagon, in Tapani Sector, more than 13,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The Compact was the primary governing force of the original Tapani colonies for nearly 1,000 years, and initiated the first alliances with the Herglics. The Compact was dissovled when the Tapani Sector was fragmented during the Twelve Kingdoms Era. (PGT)

Pella System
This Tapani Sector star system was part of the holdings of House Mecetti during the New Order. (LOE)

Pellaeon, Gilad
The elderly Imperial Navy Captain in command of the Chimaera, Pellaeon was best-known for taking control of the remnants of the Imperial fleet and retreating from the Battle of Endor, so that Imperial forces could survive to fight another day. Born on Corellia several years before the Battle of Naboo, Pellaeon lied his way into the Judicial Forces when he was just fifteen. While serving aboard various starships with the Old Republic, he learned about the ebb and flow of politcal tides, and saw that the military was something of a constant. He developed a military sense that kept him in the background, making sure his troops were well-fed and respected, rather than bullying them into submission. As a Captain, Pellaeon commanded the assault ship Leveler during the height of the Clone Wars, and was adamant that the clone troopers who served on the ship be treated with the same respect as the other officers. He went so far as to send one of his non-clone Lieutenants into battle, on the front lines, when he questioned the acceptable loss of clones in combat. The fact that Pellaeon was a career officer, and that his liaisons with women had cost him several promotions, was known to many beings. However, unknown to even his closest peers, Pellaeon was in love with Hallena Devis.

Pellaeon's first real combat occurred during the Republic's liberation of the planet Gaftikar. Having only served on anti-piracy missions prior to the onset of the Clone Wars, he was given command of the warship Leveler. Shortly after the Battle of Teth, Pellaeon and his crew were forced to shake down the Leveler after it was refitted with new concussion missiles and drive systems. The new weapons were quite tempermental, and the military crew and its civilian technicians struggled to bring them online. Adding to Pellaeon's concerns was the appearance of Clone Captain Rex and Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano, who were dispatched to the Leveler when General Anakin Skywalker was called away on other business. Although Skywalker hoped that the exposure to the navy would benefit his Captain and his Padawan, Pellaeon was forced to deal with both the young Jedi's inexperience and her connection to the Force. His opinion of the Jedi changed when the Leveler was forced into action when the Workers' Uprising occurred on JanFathal, in order to extract a Republic agent who was stranded on the planet. This agent turned out to be Hallena Devis, forcing Pellaeon to reveal his relationship with her and attempt to carry out the mission as if she were just another agent. His concern for her welfare conflicted with the need to protect his crew, and when the Leveler was approached by the destroyer Reaper, Pellaeon was forced to briefly abandon the extraction team on JanFathal in order to prevent his ship from being captured by the Separatists.

Little was known about Pellaeon's career following the Clone Wars and through the era of the New Order. After the death of Emperor Palpatine at Endor, Pellaeon had no desire to lead the Empire, but he felt it was his duty to keep the Imperial fleet together. Thus, when Grand Admiral Thrawn emerged from the Unknown Regions to take control of the Empire, Pellaeon was more than willing to turn the fleet over to Thrawn, despite Thrawn's obviously alien background. He served Thrawn well, respecting the alien's uncanny insights while providing tactical assistance when necessary. Following the death of Thrawn at the hands of his own bodyguard, Rukh, Pellaeon took Thrawn's remaining ships and fled to the Core Systems, where he came in contact with High Admiral Teradoc. The two marshalled a large fleet of Victory-class Star Destroyers, and rivaled Harrsk for leadership of the Imperial forces for a number of years. When Daala showed up and tried to combine the strengths of the feuding warlords, Pellaeon sided with Daala, who only wanted to restore the Empire. The two of them arranged a summit of all the warlords on Tsoss Station, but were forced to poison them all when they failed to cooperate.

Pellaeon became Daala's first officer, and was placed in command of the remaining seventeen Imperial-class Star Destroyers. He was to be the primary attack for that assaulted the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. His attack was perfect, slipping into the system before the Jedi knew it. However, his Imperial conditioning failed to prepare him for the power of the Force. The Jedi, under the focus of Dorsk 81, used the Force to physically fling the entire Star Destroyer fleet out of the Yavin System, knocking out navigations and hyperdrives. Pelleaon was able to recover all his ships, as well as Admiral Daala's escape pod, before leaving to the system. After Daala's rescue, she resigned her command, and turned control of the Imperial fleet over to him. While he stll had no desire to rule the Empire, Pellaeon felt that the situation was the Battle of Endor all over again. He took the fleet back to the Core Systems to regroup.

Pellaeon assumed the position of Supreme Commander of the Imperial Navy, and worked against all odds to rebuild the fleet. He spent several years trying to overcome the problems with the cloaking device, and eventually tested the Computer Combat Predictor. However, its inability to truly aid in a cloaked fight was the last straw in the back of the dwindling Imperial animal. He suggested to Moff Disra that the Imperial remnants should negotiate a surrender with the New Republic some ten years after Thrawn's death, hoping to obtain amnesty rather than execution. Although the majority of the Moffs were in agreement with the plan, Disra's own machinations kept him from wholeheartedly agreeing. Pellaeon began his attempts to contact the Republic by sending Colonel Vermel to meet with Garm Bel Iblis, but Disra captured Vermel before his message was fully delivered. Pellaeon, meanwhile, waited for Bel Iblis as Pesitiin, where Disra sent Zothip and the Cavrilhu Pirates to ambush him. Pellaeon's forces dispatched the pirates, but continued to wait for Bel Iblis.

However, Bel Iblis was on a mission to Yaga Minor, so it was Ghent who actually received the truncated message from Vermel. He brought the message to Leia Organa-Solo, who agreed to meet with Pellaeon. Their initial talks were tentative but promising, and both agreed to return to their sides and meet at a later date. Meantime, Pellaeon and Commander Dreyf discovered Disra's plans, and began to press the matter with the Moff. Pellaeon eventually won out over the renegade Moff Disra, and soon signed a peace treaty - later known as the Pellaeon-Gavrisom Treaty - with the New Republic. He assumed command of what became known as the Imperial Remnant, and maintained a distanced relationship with the Republic until the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Then, Pellaeon agreed to help the war effort during the Battle of Ithor, only to be recalled to Imperial space by the short-sightedness of the Moff Council.

Pellaeon feared that the Moffs' decision to stay out of the fight - so long as the Yuuzhan Vong avoided the Empire - was the wrong thing to do, but his half-century of experience made him hold his tongue for several years. He worked hard to bolster the forces protecting Bastion, but the Imperials were no match for the surprise attack launched by the Yuuzhan Vong shortly after the Second Battle of Coruscant. Bastion and Muunilinst were lost almost immediately, and the destruction would have been worse if Luke Skywalker hadn't arrived on the scene. Pellaeon gladly accepted the help of the Jedi, who were searching for the planet Zonama Sekot, and was able to hold off the alien invaders long enough to evacuate the central Imperial systems. However, the Chimaera took heavy damage, and Pellaeon himself was nearly killed. Only the skilled work of the Jedi healer Tekli kept him alive.

Once the Imperial Remnant regrouped at Yaga Minor, Pellaeon started his own recovery, and began training his forces with tactics developed by the newly-formed Galactic Alliance. Despite the fact that he was confined to a bacta tank, Pellaeon was also instrumental in helping Jacen Solo convince the Moff Council that it needed to adopt the Galactic Alliance's tactics in order to ensure the very survival of the Empire. When he was able to emerge from the bacta tank, Pellaeon once again took command of the Imperial Navy, and threatened to secede from the Empire if the Moffs didn't accept Jacen's offer to join the Galactic Alliance. Once the Moffs agreed, Pellaeon took the Imperial fleet and began to harass the retreating Yuuzhan Vong forces, hoping to defend the Imperial Remnant by joining the war effort to defeat the alien invaders throughout the galaxy. As the battle neared its conclusion, Pellaeon was appointed the commander of the Galactic Alliance's Fourth Fleet, and was instrumental in the final battle against the Yuuzhan Vong near Coruscant.

In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong surrender, Pellaeon prepared to return to the Imperial Remnant as its primary liaison to the Galactic Republic. Before he left, however, he found time to return the moss painting Killik Twilight to Leia Organa Solo. In the wake of the death of Admiral Sien Sovv, Pellaeon agreed to serve as the Supreme Commander of the Galactic Alliance's military, until a more permanent replacement could be named. Thus, he was in command of the naval forces when the Swarm War rose to a head, and remained in the position for many years, as the Imperial Remnant became more and more integrated into the Galactic Alliance. With the rising call for independence in the Corellian System, Pellaeon found himself in an unusual position. He was chosen as a peer to the Five World Prime Minister, Aidel Saxan, during a series of negotiations between the Galactic Alliance and the leaders of the Corellian System.

The negotiations were held at Toryaz Station, near Kuat, and were meant to allow both sides a chance to argue their positions and come to a common agreement on Corellia's standing in the GA. However, the negotiations had only barely begun when Prime Minister Saxan was assassinated. Pellaeon himself escaped, but only because the killers murdered his double instead. As the relationship between Corellia and the Galactic Alliance deteriorated, Pellaeon found himself fighting against the government's desire to bring war to Corellia in order to prevent the system's secession. When Chief of State Cal Omas made an executive decision to form the Galactic Alliance Guard, without the advise or support of the Senate, Pellaeon could no longer stand for the Alliance's posturing. He resigned his commission as Supreme Commander, leaving the role to one of his senior aides, Admiral Cha Niathal.

Pellaeon retired to an estate on the planet Bastion, where he hoped to avoid politics as much as possible. In his nineties, Pellaeon was still considered a valuable resource by the Moff Council, which often refused to act until he had provided his own input. Thus, Pellaeon was not surprised when an emissary from the Galactic Alliance arrived at his estate with an offer from Jacen Solo, requesting that the Imperial Remnant rejoin the Alliance. Pellaeon had come to despise Jacen Solo, and sent the emissary home without even acknowledging their presence. He then waited for Solo to make contact with the Moff Council, to see how badly he wanted the Imperials to be working with the Alliance.

Ultimately, Solo's offer proved to be sufficient for Pellaeon and the Moffs to agree to the deal, and Pellaeon took the Bloodfin and a small fleet to Fondor. Pellaeon wasn't about to take any chances, however, with either Solo or the Moff Council, so he called in a favor from Admiral Daala, who agreed to watch his back during the fighting. He was forced to allowed Tahiri Veila to stand with him on the bridge, since Jacen Solo had sent her to the Bloodfin and his liaison to the Imperials. The role of the Imperial forces in the Second Battle of Fondor was to support the mission of the Galactic Alliance forces, and Pellaeon was forced to join the battle when the Fondorians tried to catch Solo in a trap. However, Solo set out on his own mission to bombard Fondor's cities into rubble, and Admiral Cha Niathal tried to relieve him of his command. When Solo refused, Pellaeon ordered the Imperial forces to break off their attacks on Fondor and stand down. Solo then continued to attack Fondor, forcing Pellaeon to order his ships to defend Fondor.

This caused a division in the ranks of the Moff Council, and prompted Tahiri to confront Pellaeon about his actions. When Pellaeon refused to follow Jacen Solo's orders, and ordered the rest of the Imperial fleet to only acknowledge commands from Cha Niathal, Tahiri shot him in the chest, killing him almost instantly. As he died, Pellaeon opened his comlink to Admiral Daala, speaking the names of the members of the Moff Council who stood by and did nothing as he died. In the wake of the fighting, Vitor Reige recovered Pellaeon's body and, with the help of Admiral Daala, made arrangements for him to be buried on his homeworld of Corellia.

Pellaeon Gardens
These wondrous gardens were constructed on Bastion, under the order of Emperor Roan Fel, during the height of the New Empire, many decades after the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Emperor Fel often retired to the gardens to meditate and calm himself. (SWLR)

Pellaeon-class Super Star Destroyer
This huge warship was produced for the Empire that was formed in the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, some 130 years after the Battle of Yavin. The Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer was a massive, plow-shaped vessel that appeared to be equally able to run down a target or ram through it. The overall shape resembled a huge, heavy arrowhead, similar in many respects to the Imperial-class Star Destroyers of the New Order. The tall profile of this ship allowed its commanders to have an unprecedented view of a battle zone. Although it was shorter in length than the Imperial-class, it had better firing arcs with overlapping fields of fire, which allowed it to better protect itself in combat. Like its predecessors, the Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer was produced by Kuat Drive Yards.

This vessel required a dedicated crew of 8,450, and could accommodate up to 2,700 troops and 11,000 metric tons of cargo. Weaponry included heavy turbolaser batteries, turbolaser batteries, heavy ion cannon batteries, proton torpedo launchers, and tractor beam generators. Many naval experts of the time considered the Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer to be a combination of the best aspects of both the Imperial-class and Executor-class Star Destroyers. (SWI89, SWLB, SWLH, SSOG)

Pellaeon-Gavrisom Treaty
This was the informal name given to the peace accord signed by Imperial Admiral Gilad Pellaeon and the New Republic Chief of State, Ponc Gavrisom, which effectively ended the struggle between the Empire's remnants and the New Republic. (ECH)

Pellaeon-grade
This was a term used by Gilad Pellaeon, during his service to the Galactic Republic's military at the onset of the Clone Wars, to describe what he considered to be acceptable performance from any part of the military infrastructure. He often found himself at odds with other teams over his high standards, because what was deemed reasonable by most beings was considered largely inadequate by Pellaeon himself. (CWNOP)

Pembric II
One of the primary trade worlds of Kathol Sector, Pembric II was surrounded by an asteroid field. It was originally settles as a colony world, but had to be terraformed after a long history of meteorite bombardment. The colonization efforts were largely ineffective, although the planet developed into a perfect base of operations for a vareity of criminals and gangsters, mainly because of its relative isolation behind within the asteroids. (DARK, KO, VOF)

Pembric Security Legion
This formerly honest police force was slowly corrupted by a variety of forces. By the era of the New Order, the Legionnaires of the force were nothing more than thugs in fancy uniforms. With the rise to power of the Bombaasa Cartel, the Security Legion was reformed to fight the growing rivalries criminal organization of the planet, but it allowed the Cartel free rein. For its freedom, the Cartel provided funding and support to the Legion, including the acquisition of several New Republic B-Wing assault fighters, which were modified to remove their shielding in favor of speed and maneuverability within the asteroid belt surrounding Pembric II. (DARK)

Pembric Security Legionnaires
This was the name of an individual member of the Pembric Security Legion, on the planet Pembric II. The guards of the force wore white uniforms, and were responsible for collecting the somewhat illegal fees for landing rights and other tariffs from visitors. (VOF, DARK)

Pendal
A planet. (AIR)

Pendari
This planet was the site of an Imperial shipyard during the Galactic Civil War. (GG11)

Pendarr III
A planet, and the base of operations for the Pendarran Warriors. (WBC)

Pendarran Warriors
This military group, led by Gendal Delan, worked side-by-side with the Jedi Knights and the forces of the Old Republic during the Clone Wars. When Emperor Palpatine rose to power, and ordered the extermination of the Jedi Knights, he included the Pendarran Warriors in his orders. Like the Jedi, the Pendarrans were slaughtered by Imperial troops. (WBC)

Pendarran's Revenge
This military organization was founded by Kolor Delan, after the death of his father Gendal at the hands of the Empire. They helped the Alliance several times during the Galactic Civil War, but suddenly turned against the New Republic shortly after the Battle of Endor. It was unknown who hired them to attack Republic forces. They were based in an abandoned Imperial garrison on the planet Shalm, in the Ganton Mountain. (WBC)

Pendath
This was one of the larger cities found on the planet Taanab. (TBSB)

Pendlestat
This shop, located on the Kuari Princess, rented out the services of expert in various fields. They did not, however, have anyone specializing in athletics orthe use of the Force. The experts were a mixture of organics and droids, and were often infiltrated by Imperial Security Bureau agents searching the ship for Alliance supporters. (RM)

Pendon, Safonne
This male Rodian was the leader of a group of pirates that targetted New Republic convoys and ambushed them. Pendon's pirates then forced the crews of the ships to surrender before taking possession of the ships and their cargoes. The Rodian maintained a base on the cold world of Seltaya, hidden within the cave systems that exist naturally below the icy surface. He maintained a modest, though effective, fleet of ships, led by the Corvette Safonne's Sword. (WBC)

Pendower, Maglenna
A native of Alderaan, this dark-skinned woman was once one of Leia Organa's lesser aides during the Galactic Civil War. She spent much of her time covering for Leia's activities with the Alliance, creating cover stories to feed to the Imperial Senate and the newsnets. With the destruction of Alderaan, Maglenna lost her father and two brothers. She held out a small hope that her younger brother was off-planet when the Death Star wiped it out, but she found it difficult to locate him. After enrolling in the Alliance's medical training program, she graduated near the top of her class, but was chastised by Leia, who thought Maglenna's skills as an undercover agent were more valuable than her field skills. Maglenna, however, wanted to be where the action was. Leia managed to get Maglenna a "safe" posting within the Alliance's Supply and Ordnance division, and Maglenna served under Colonel Stijhl at the Gelgelar Free Port drop point during the Galactic Civil War. She maintained her skills as a field medic, and proved her abilities in helping Ihvin Jayme revive Morgan Raventhorn after Morgan was electrocuted aboard The Maker. She later helped Jayme defeat the Doom Slayer droid which was discovered aboard The Maker. After T'Charek Haathi's team survived the attack of a Doom Slayer droid on Gelgelar, Maglenna agreed to join Haathi's team while Dren Nord left the team to work with Colonel Stijhl's team. Maglenna just hoped that Leia wouldn't discover her new role before Maglenna could become a full-fledged Special Operations agent. (SESB, SWJ14)

Pendulum
This was a starship maneuver used in those situations where another vessel locked onto a ship with a tractor beam. By moving at right angles to the direction of the tractor beam, the targetted ship had a small chance of breaking the tracking lock and escaping from capture. However, the pendulum maneuver only worked when the targetted ship was still far away from the other vessel, when the tractor beam was still relatively weak.

Further complicating the manuever was the fact that most modern tractor beam generators produced a tractor beam in a slight sweeping pattern, to counter the pendulum maneuver and place a relatively stronger beam at the edge of the sweep, where the beam slowed down before sweeping back. In this way, a ship that tried to pendulum free of a tractor beam ran the risk of damaging their engines while trying to break free of the sudden power of the sweeping edge of the beam. (A)

Penetrator
This was a specialized form of shadow bomb that was developed by the fighter pilots of the new Jedi order, in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Penetrators were used extensively during the Swarm War, to take out the nest ships of the Colony at long range, before they could escape into the galaxy. A penetrator was essentially three shadow bombs contained in a single warhead. Each shadow bomb had a shaped charge, and the entire unit was rigged in such a way that the warheads detonated in sequence, rather than upon impact. In this way, the penetrator could cause three distinct explosions upon impacting with a ship. This allowed the penetrator to punch through shielding and hull plating before finally detonating its final charge within the target vessel itself. (DN3)

Penetrator
This small, easily concealed blaster was produced by Luxan Personal Armaments, and was known for the high-powered bolts it could generate despite its size. Most of the models produced didn't even have stun settings or safety switches. The beams it created were small, and often cauterized the wounds they created as they penetrated flesh. (TFNR)

Penetrator
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer was built at the Kuat Drive Yards during the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ9)

Penga Rift
This Dobrutz starliner served as a Obroan Institute research vessel. It was dispatched under the command of Joto Eckels, who was in the midst of an exploration of the planet Hoth, when it was suddenly dispatched to Brath Qella. Kroddok Stopa had requested assistance from Eckels, since the Penga Rift was outfitted with many cold-environment exploration tools, where the IX-26 was not. However, Eckels and the Penga Rift were not able to arrive at Brath Qella before Stopa and his assistant, Josala Krenn, were killed in an avalanche on the planet. The Penga Rift was under the command of Captain Dolk Barjas, and measured 126 meters in length. The ship continued to serve the Institute until the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. During the Vong assault which left Obroa-skai a devastated orb, the Penga Rift was holed and left for dead. (SOL, TT, HT)

Pengalan IV
This planet was the site of a battle, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Old Republic believed that the Confederacy of Independent Systems - also known as the Separatists - had created a munitions factory on the planet, and was producing diamond boron missiles at the site. Fearing that the advanced missiles would turn the tide of war to Count Dooku and the Separatists, a full platoon of clone troopers was sent out on the Sea Legacy to destroy the facility. However, the reports of the facility had been leaked by the Separatists in an effort to trap the Republic's forces, after the missile facility had been safely relocated. The plan nearly succeeded, but Republic forces were able to eliminate the missile factory before retreating. (SWI65, SWI73)

Penglow
This the generic term used to describe any small, pens-sized glowrod that was often used by technicians to get a light into a cramped space. (DN3)

Penin, Rosh
This hot-headed young man was once a student at Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, who was trained by Kyle Katarn until he was captured by Tavion. Rosh and fellow student Jaden Korr had been searching for clues about the Disciplies of Ragnos, and Rosh had been dispatched to Byss to investigate rumors coming from the planet. Tavion was able to intercept Rosh on Byss and corrupt him. Rosh was quickly seduced by the Dark Side of the Force and joined the Disciples of Ragnos. When he learned that his old friend Jaden was searching for him, Penin arranged to meet the Jedi Knight on Vjun. Accompanied by Dasariah and Vil Kothos, Penin confronted Korr on the remote world, but was unprepared for his abilities. Korr easily defeated the Kothos brothers, then took on Penin in a duel. Although Penin fought bravely, he was ultimately defeated by Korr. Tavion then entered the room, and used the Scepter of Ragnos to distract the Jedi and escape with Rosh. Shortly afterward, Penin sent a distress call to Kyle and Jaden from the planet Taspir III. Although Jaden thought it was a trap, Kyle quickly took them to Taspir III. There, Rosh appeared to have been coerced into following Tavion. It was Tavion's apprentice, Alora, who confronted Jaden with a choice: turn to the Dark Side by killing Penin for being a liar, or stand down and remain loyal to the Light Side. When Jaden chose to let Penin live, Alora became enraged enough to kill Penin before attacking Jaden. As Jaden fought and defeated Alora, Penin slumped into his Master's arms, but held on long enough to be transported back to Yavin 4 for treatment. Rosh eventually survived the attack, and returned to the Light Side of the Force. (JKA)

Pennant Code
This was the name given to any small insignia that was placed on the fuselage of any starship, from shuttles to transports to battle cruisers, that was part of the Galactic Republic's naval fleet. Placed in a discreet location, the pennant code served as a visual indication that the ship was part of the Republic's forces. Other Republic starships could visually denote the pennant code, and then verify it through an internal database, in order to ensure that a starship was actually operated by the Republic. (CWNOP)

Penned Orphan
This was a slang term used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe any rebel solider or pilot who was captured by Imperial forces. (GG9)

Penovia
This gas giant was the second planet in the Recopi System. It was orbited by fourteen moons. (CCW)

Pensin
This man was one of Drend Navett's associates in the Vengeance group. Pensin was present on Bothawui during the riot in Merchant's Square, shortly after the revelation of the Caamas Document. He assisted Navett in starting the riot, and careful shooting made it appear that Han Solo was the shooter. He later worked with Horvik to deflect attention from Navett's efforts to take out the Drev'starn shield generator. Horvic and Pensin posed as the night clean-up crew at a Ho-Din cafe near the generator site. He later assisted them in digging out a tunnel to gain access to the power generators of the shields. Once Navett was in place and ready to take out the shield generator, Pensin accompanied Klif and Horvic on a sabotage mission. Disguised as New Republic technicians, they managed to get aboard the Predominance and make their way to a turbolaser battery. They killed their escort and managed to get eight shots off at the city of Drev'starn before begin discovered and neutralized. (SOP, VOF)

Pent, Zegmon
This man, a native of the planet Corellia, was the leader of the terrorist group known as The Flail, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. He had been formerly trained in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to be a secret assassin, although it was unclear whether he was sensitive to the Force. Nonetheless, Pent spent a good deal of time cultivating his "Jedi assassin" image, and even stole an imitation lightsaber from an independent technician to use as his weapon. Pent believed that the Senate was a corrupt body which was funded by corporate sponsors to ignore the common good, that Chancellor Finis Valorum was the root of the problem, and set out to rectify the situation. When a team of freelance security officers stopped the activities of The Flail, Pent declared that he would personally kill Chancellor Valorum in order to put a halt to the Senate's actions. He tried to escape by outflying the security team in an airspeeder, hoping to reach the Senate Chamber and kill Valorum himself, or die trying. In a desparate struggle, Pent drew his lightsaber and tried to murder Valorum, but was stopped by the actions of the security officers and Vinsho Pah. Pent was taken into custody and imprisoned. (SWRPG)

Penta
This Imperial container ship was destroyed by Keyan Farlander and a group of Alliance A-Wing fighters, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. (XW, XWP)

Pentase, Nela
This woman worked for Karflo Corporation as an accountant. The scientist Trem DeSelvaine had a crush on her. It was believed that Nela was killed with the Polydroxol individual known simply as Polly escaped from DeSelvaine's research lab and killed all personnel. (SWJ12)

Pentastar Alignment
This galactic conglomerate was created from the various leaders of the Velcar Free Commerce Zone and led by Imperial Moff Ardus Kaine. The Alignment controlled a section of the galaxy named for it, and controlled all access to and from the planets, in conjunction with the Velcar Free Commerce Zone commissioners. The basis for the Pentastar Alignment was the former Imperial government of Emperor Palpatine, although it was warped to conform to Kaine's own vision of the Empire. Built from the outcome of the Pentastar Talks, the Alignment had two major factions, the Chamber of Order and Enforcement. The Order faction controlled the Politorate, Insurrection, Judgement, and Protectorate divisions. Enforcement controled the regulation and enforcement of laws and public allegiance, and was in command of the Alignment's police force, the Pentastar Patrol. While essentially effective, the Pentastar Alignment remained Moff Kaine's personal agenda, and failed to stand up to the pressure of maintaining galactic control. Kaine eventually allied the Pentastar Alignment with Admiral Pellaeon and the Imperial Remnant. (SWJ3, ECH)

Pentastar Alignment Treaty
This was the document which was ratified at the conclusion of the Pentastar Talks, solidifying Moff Ardus Kaine's vision of the Pentastar Alignment as the new Imperial government of the Velcar Free Commerce Zone. (SWJ3)

Pentastar Patrol
This was the primary military force established as part of the Pentastar Alignment's Enforcement branch, and represented the most visible reminder of the Alignment's power. The Pentastar Patrol also consumed the majority of the Alignment's resources and personnel, having taken over the garrisons and outposts of the former Empire. Unlike the Imperial military, the Pentastar Patrol allowed non-humans to serve in its ranks, a move which was meant to make the Alignment seem more "friendly" to other species. This practice did not sit well with various members of the Alignment's command structure, as many of them were former Imperial officers. (SWJ3)

Pentastar Patrol Academy
This was the primary educational facility established by the Pentastar Alignment to train those beings who joined the Pentastar Patrol. (SWJ3)

Pentastar Talks
This was the series of meetings established by Moff Ardus Kaine, in which he laid out his plans for re-establishing Imperial control under the guise of the Pentastar Alignment. Working with various Imperial supporters and business leaders from the Velcar Free Commerce Zone, Moff Kaine hammered out the Pentastar Alignment Treaty, and installed himself as the head of the Alingment. (SWJ3)

Pentastar Trust and Safety Assurance Bank
This was the primary financial institution established by the Pentastar Alignment, in the wake of the Battle of Endor. The institution was based on the planet Entralla. (SWJ3, SWJ4, OWS)

Penumbra
This modified shieldship was owned and operated by Neen Niuv. It served as the criminal's base of operations during the early years of the New Republic, hidden within Hutt Space. The main cargo sections of the ship were modified for use as hangars, and Neen Niuv maintained a wing of eight I-7 Howlrunners as defensive fighters. Niuv also equipped the Penumbra with a limited hyperdrive system, giving him the ability to take the ship away from direct confrontation. (WOTC)

Penumbra Omen
Located in space near the Naboo System, this region was originally designated by Imperial forces as D-512. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the name was changed to the Penumbra Omen, and all non-military traffic was restricted from entering the region. (SWGAL)

Penumbra Spaceport
This was one of the larger spaceports that serviced the planet Bellassa, during the early years of the New Order. (LJ5)

Penyk, Johr
This was the name of a noted Sakiyan individual. (UANT)

Peope
This word from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "eopie." (GPB)

People of Bordal
This was the name of the terrorist group that claimed to have kidnapped Kerek Stele, during the height of the New Order, in an effort to force Stele to reveal the secrets of his scientific investigations. (TSC)

People of the Trees
This was the Basic translation of the term used by the Wookiees of Kashyyyk to describe themselves. (SWCL)

People's Inquest, The
This grass-roots organization was founded on Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The People's Inquest was formed as a watchdog group to monitor the activities of the Jedi Knights, who were becoming increasingly insular and withdrawn from the public eye. They were eventually shut down by the Old Republic for a variety of reasons, including "inadequate licensing" and "signal purity violations". Supporters of the Inquest were arrested during protests outside the Senate Rotunda on the grounds of maintaining security, and many believed that the organization was doomed. However, founder Thrynka Padaunete managed to persevere, and eventually re-established a public infocache based on a remote Outer Rim world during the height of the Clone Wars. (HNN4, SWI71)

People's Liberation Battalion
This civilian military operation was created by Harran Estillo, who passed himself off as the returned Prince Harrandatha. The goal of the Battalion was to overthrow the yolk of Imperial control on Eiattu, as well as to unseat the Priamsta. (XWWP)

PEP Laser
This was a form of non-lethal blaster weapon produced for the Grand Army of the Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. PEP stood for pulsed energy projectile, a form of blaster bolt that was developed for police units to use during riot control. It was designed for use against organic targets, as it used deuterium fluoride laser to disrupt the nervous system and render an individual unable to move. The energy of the projectile was wrapped around a solid core of matter, which added a physical element to its impact. Many beings claimed that it was like being hit with a plastoid round. Depending on the size of the target, the PEP laser was of varying effectiveness. It did little to stop a Wookiee, but rendered most other humanoid races incapacitated. In smaller, more fragile races, the PEP laser could cause severe injury or death. (RCTZ)

Pepin
This man served as a navigation officer aboard one of the Lambda-class shuttles that made up Emperor Palpatine's personal fleet of starships, during the early years of the New Order. (SWI85)

Peppel
It was on this planet, as far from Coruscant and Tatooine, that Boba Fett eventually caught Kardue'sai'Malloc, the Butcher of Montellian Serat. (TBH)

Pepper Fettle
The seeds of this plant were often ground up to make a pungent spice for flavoring food. (SWJ12)

Pepper Tea
A strong, stimulating variety of hot tea. (CS)

Pepper's Hope
This stock Ghtroc freighter was owned and operated by Margo "Pepper" Flarestream, after she removed herself from active duty with the Alliance's Starfighter Command. (CRO)

Pepper's Pax
This rought-and-tumble tavern was located on the planet Darlyn Boda during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Situated between a mortuary and a pawn shop, Pepper's Pax was considered the safest gathering place for criminals of all sorts. It was said that there were only two rules at Pepper's Pax: no fighting, and no sissies. To enforce this second rule, newcomers had to eat a mouthful of firespice vegetable pods. Pepper's Pax also served as a base of operations for some of the most reliable and accurate haruspexes on the planet. (WOA34)

Per Lupelo
This semi-tropical planet was the primary world in the Per Lupelo System. The crimelord Raze made his base of operations on Per Lupelo, during the early years of the New Order, but his schemes to sell information to the Alliance earned him the wrath of Darth Vader. Vader then sent an Imperial task force to Per Lupelo, with orders to bombard the planet from orbit and destroy Raze's headquarters. (SWRMB, SWRAG)

Pera
This Verpine priest was considered the leader of the Sacred Way religion on the planet Aduba-3, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. He worked to ensure a good relationship with the various legitimate and illicit businesses operating on Aduba-3, but was not afraid to fight for his own rights. He belived that, for every sin, there was an equal and positive retribution. His seemingly endless mission was to convert the rabble that called Aduba-3 their home to the Sacred Way. The regulars were loyal to him because of his maintenance of the Spacer's Hill cemetary. (GMR4)

Pera
This term, from the High Galactic language, was used throughout the galaxy to indicate a male parent. (MC7)

Per'Agthra
This was the name used to describe the Queen Mother's castle, located on the planet Hapes. (CTD)

Peragus II
This unusual planet was located in a remote corner of the galaxy. Several years before the Great Sith War, it was first settled by the workers of the Peragus Mining Colony, who extracted all manner of gases and ores from the planet's crust and mantle. However, an explosion at the main facility caused incredible amounts of damage, and literally tore a hole in the planet's crust. This hole widened as the molten lava surrounding the core of Peragus II gushed into space. The lava eventually froze in the vacuum of space, creating a chain of asteroids that settled into a geosynchronous orbit around the planet. For many years, Peragus II bled lava into space, presenting a unique phenomenon to scientists. The miners of the Peragus Mining Colony eventually took up residence in the asteroids, since much of the material they were mining was now floating in space. Five years after the destruction of the Star Forge and the death of Darth Malak, the Peragus Mining Colony was attacked by unknown forces. The miners were either killed outright, or died when they were treated with kolto that was heavily laced with sedatives. Investigation by The Exile and HK-50 revealed that Darth Sion, who had been brought to the asteroid and reawakened by a group of Sith devotees, was behind the killings. After The Exile and Kreia fled the colony, Darth Sion set out to find them. In his wake, he destroyed the main Peragus II asteroid and the mining colony facility. (KOTOR2, LAWS)

Peragus Mining Colony
This gas mining operation was established on the planet Peragus II many years before the Great Sith War. The independent miners of the colony supplied materiel to the Old Republic during the Sith War, until an explosion at the facility tore a huge hole in the planet's crust. Motlen lava spewed out of the hole and into space, where it froze in the vacuum and created a large chain of asteroids. Once the Peragus Mining Colony recovered from the disaster, they moved their operations to the orbiting asteroids. Five years after the destruction of the Star Forge and the death of Darth Malak, the Peragus Mining Colony was attacked by unknown forces. The miners were either killed outright, or died when they were treated with kolto that was heavily laced with sedatives. Investigation by the Jedi known as The Exile and HK-50 revealed that Darth Sion and his Sith devotees was behind the killings, which started after Darth Sion was reawakened. After The Exile and Kreia fled the system in the Ebon Hawk, Sion and his forces also fled the system. In their wake, they destroyed the Peragus Mining Colony and most of the asteroid on which it was located. (KOTOR2, LAWS)

Peralli
This Mon Calamari worked as a pirate for the Feeorin Nym, during the height of the New Order. When Finn Darktrin recovered a map for Nym in exchange for passage to Corellia, Peralli was assigned to be their pilot, since Nym didn't trust Finn's abilities. However, upon reaching Corellia, their ship was apprehended by Imperial forces. In the brief firefight, Peralli's ship took damage while trying to reach the surface. He and Finn tried to keep the ship under control while Dusque Mistflier strapped herself into the passenger area. An explosion rocked the cockpit, seeming to come from inside the ship, and Finn was forced to land the ship himself. Peralli, he told Finn, had caught the explosion in the chest and died from his wounds. Later, after Finn revealed that he was actually an Imperial agent, he told Dusque that it had been he who killed Peralli, to ensure that the Imperials thought their ship had been destroyed. (ROD)

Peramis, Tig
This New Republic Senator from Walalla questioned the validity of Operation Hammerblow and the use of the Fifth Battle Group, some twelve years after the Battle of Endor. Peramis grew up during the early days of Imperial occupation of Walalla, and witnessed first-hand the atrocities committed by Imperial troops and leaders. This hardened his resolve to eradicate the Empire, and when the time came he became a governmental leader. His appointment to the New Republic Senate came a few months before Nil Spaar arrived on Coruscant.

His experiences at the hands of the Empire led him to denounce the implementation of Operation Hammerblow, and he went so far as to describe the Fifth Fleet as "a weapon of conquest and tyranny." He later enter into an alliance with the Yevethan against what Nil Spaar called "Leia Organa-Solo's personal ambitions." However, Peramis was later banished from the Senatorial chambers for his dealing with Spaar. Unlike other Senators who supported Spaar, Peramis remained on Coruscant to monitor the Republic's reactions to the Yevethan power plays. Using his contacts within the Senate to gather information. To this end, he got Senator Cundertol drunk and stole his Senatorial security cards. Using them, Peramis was able to enter the Senate building and access Cundertol's files. From there, Peramis obtained a wealth of information on the planned blockade of the Koornacht Cluster. Peramis quickly forwarded the information to Spaar. (BTS, SOL)

Perann Nebula
This interstellar cloud of gas and debris was located at the heart of the Nihil Retreat, in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. The Perann Nebula glowed with a deep red color, making it as forbidding as its reputation, because the Nihil Retreat was controlled by the Sorcerers of Rhand. (LSSM)

Perat
Derived from the title perator, this was an Adumari coin which was minted with the image of a nation's perator on the obverse. Each nation had its own mintage of perats, but all were considered of more or less equal value. (SOA)

Perator
This was the title used by the Adumari to describe the leader of an individual nation or city. Each perator had to prove himself in combat, both on the ground and in space, before he could be considered for election to the post. By his mere presence in a room or at a gathering, the perator demanded full attention. However, he could lower the visor on his crown to indicate a distancing of himself from the crowd, thereby freeing those assembled from the need for attention. In this way, the perator could enjoy the gathering without affecting the behavior of the others. (SOA)

Perave System Starport
This ancient space station orbited the planet Arkania some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. (TOJC)

Percifel
This was a common name among the Chev race. (UANT)

Percussion Cannon
This ancient form of weaponry employs a dense burst of sound waves, emitted from a tubular stock and aimed at a target, to cause damage. The sound wave strikes its target and sends intense waves of vibrations through it. (KO)

Percussive Rasp
This subspecies of rasp was named for the way it beat its wings against branches and tree trunks to create a distinctive call. (SWG2P)

Pereg, Hunti
This bounty hunter was part of a group of hunters hired by Granta Omega to capture Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Wren Honoran on Ragoon-6, some five years after the Battle of Naboo. He was known to have never missed a target, ever, in his career. During the attempt to capture the Jedi, Hunti was incapacitated and then impersonateed by Granta Omega himself, in an effort to lure the Jedi into a trap. (JQ2)

Peregrine
This was the name given to one of Garm Bel Iblis' Dreadnaughts, during the years before he rejoined the New Republic. It was one of several ships from the Katana Fleet that Bel Iblis managed to obtain over the years. It eventually became part of the New Republic's fleet. The ship remained as Bel Iblis' flagship, and was placed under the command of Admiral Vriss. (DFR, SOP)

Peregrine
This modified Strike-class cruiser was part of the Alliance's fleet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Peregrine 240
This was a model of swoop produced by Aratech during the last years of the Old Republic. These swoops measured 3.25 meters in length, and could accommodate a pilot and a single passenger. The Peregrine 240 could attain speeds in excess of 350 kilometers per hour under ideal conditions. Note that this swoop was referred to as the Peregrine-340 in Star Wars Gamer, issue 4. (NEGV, GMR4)

Peregrine, The
Ths Peregrine was supposedly the ghost of a Corellian spacer, used as a story to scare young children. According to the stories, the Peregrine was cursed to roam the galaxy forever. (DFR, DFRC)

Peregrine-340
see Peregrine 240 (GMR4)

Peregrine's Nest
This was the name given to the last in a long line of Garm Bel Iblis' hideouts, established about two years after the Battle of Endor. His team set the base up with an eye toward striking out at Mon Mothma and the New Republic, rather than the Empire, based on Bel Ibis' fear that Mon Mothma would turn the Republic into a dictatorship under her sole command. Han Solo and Lando Calrissian were brought to Peregrine's Nest by Sena Midanyl, about five years after the Battle of Endor, after they discovered the relationship between Bel Iblis and Borsk Fey'lya. (DFR)

Perek
This pale blue-skinned humanoid made his home in a remote corner of the galaxy during the height of the New Order, earning a meager sum of credits as an artist. He remained aloof from the rest of the galaxy, preferring to work in solitude. Much of his artwork was created from the cast-off technology of a given society, and the battles of the Galactic Civil War provided him with a wealth of raw material. It also provided him with a vision of himself that was fed by his isolation, a vision in which he singlehandedly brought control to the galaxy. Using specialized droid "bugs", Perek was able to create a form of virus that spread through machinery, transforming it into a violent form of "artwork" that was controlled by Perek. In this way, he planned to take over the galaxy by turning every machine into a tool. These machines would then convert all living creatures into fuel, utterly subjugating the entire galaxy. Perek himself was discovered to be little more than a cyborged head attached to a mechanized frame. It was rumored that Han Solo defeated Perek during the early years of the New Republic, by hitting the mad artist with a Corellian spark grenade that disabled Perek's source of power and rendered Perek inert. (T19)

Peremptory
An Imperial-I class Star Destroyer, the Peremptory defeated the forces of the New Republic during the Battle of Storinal. This ship was later destroyed while trying to recover the Katana Fleet, after it was dispatched to fill a gap left by the absence of the Chimaera, which had been detained at Wayland by Joruus C'baoth. Using the slave-rigging systems of the Katana, Han Solo and Lando Calrissian managed to ram a Dreadnaught into the Peremptory, utterly destroying both ships. (DFR, ECH)

Perera
This Arkanian word meant "mother", "grandmother", or "female elder", depending on the context, when translated into Basic. It held an almost reverent connotation, showing a younger individual's respect for an older being's knowledge and experience. (KOR5)

Pereriansa, Donatellinsar R'a
This Elomin served as a Mine Director on his homeworld of Elom, during the Imperial occupation of the planet. (EGA)

Perero
This was the nickname used by Jarael and a few of the inhabitants of the Lower City of Taris to describe The Camper, during the years following the Great Sith War. It stemmed from the Arkanian word for "father" or "male elder." Jarael chose the nickname because The Camper was something of a father figure to her. (KOR1, KOR5)

Perero
This Arkanian word meant "father", "grandfather", or "male elder", depending on the context, when translated into Basic. It held an almost reverent connotation, showing a younger individual's respect for an older being's knowledge and experience. (KOR1, KOR5)

Perfect
This Imperial CR90 corvette was operative during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE, TIEP)

Perfect Corellian Dinner Party, The
Written by Lady Sera Tharen, this book described the requirements and necessarities for hosting a high-class soiree. (EGA)

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

Performance
This entry-level starship reactor core was produced by FreiTek Incorporated, during the early years of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Performance Square
This was the name of an open-air square that was once located in the city of New Shallos, on the planet Lorrd. The original Performance Square was a place where Lorrdians would gather to celebrate their arts and entertainment. Unfortunately, the original site was razed during the Argazdan occupation of Lorrd. The spirit of the site was later reborn in a massive, seventeen-level structure established in the nearby city of Qatamer. This new structure was actually an eight-sided complex of buildings that provided the modern Lorrdians with multiple venues to express themselves through the arts. At the height of the New Order, it was said that the Performance Square in Qatamer was one of the most prolific sources of new entertainment talent in the galaxy. Each of its seventeen levels face a central courtyard, and the various theaters and performance areas were constructed using various forms of Lorrdian architecture. (OWS)

Pergallis, Tren
This Imperial Governor was placed in charge of the planet Stassia, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He abolished the fifteen Head Clans which had controlled the planet, hoping that a single voice would help the Stassians accept the Empire. (SWJ6)

Pergitor
This planet, located in a star system of the same name, was found in the Minos Cluster. It was once a lush, tropical garden of a world, and it held a rich cache of rare and exotic minerals. The original settlers were employees of Jesa Corporation who came to Pergitor to mine the minerals. The planet's ruling class descended from Jesa Corporation's leadership. The mining operations continued to take material out of the planet's crust, until intense deep-bore mining by the Jesa Corporation resulted in a volcanic eruption which filled the atmosphere with ash for several years. The eruptions occurred about 100 years before the Battle of Yavin, and tons of toxic elements were expelled by the volcanos. These chemicals were now a permanent part of the atmosphere, and life on Pergitor had been nearly wiped out. The remaining natives must use gasmasks when travelling outside, and all buildings were built air-tight to keep the chemicals out. The average day on Pergitor encompasses 34 standard hours, and its year lasted 291 local days. (GG6)

Pergola's Bridge
Spanning the Solleu River in the city of Theed, on Naboo, this bridge was built to take some of the traffic away from the more fragile Bassa Bridge. (IWE1)

Perhi
This surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG)

Perhi, Dal
This Black Sun agent was dispatched to clean up the remains of Yanth the Hutt, after Darth Maul executed the vigo while recovering Hath Monchar's crystal holocron. Perhi then assisted young Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was searching for Darsha Assant, by providing information on Yanth's death. Obi-Wan single-handedly disarmed a group of thugs when he entered the bar, and his skills both amazed and frightened Dal Perhi, especially after Perhi learned that Obi-Wan was just a Padawan and not a full Jedi Knight. Perhi himself survived the encounter with Kenobi, which gave rise to a legend within Black Sun of Perhi's ability to defeat a Jedi in combat.

Perhi later became one of Coruscant's more powerful crimelords, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. After the Yanth mission, he rose quickly through the ranks to attain a position as a vigo just two years after the Battle of Naboo. When the Underlord of Black Sun was killed a year later, Perhi moved quickly to amass a base of power for himself, and took over as Black Sun's Underlord. He held this position for many years, and cultivated Black Sun's interests with great care. However, despite his success, Perhi was always looking out for ambitious vigos who would do anything to assume the position of Underlord.

Two of the most impressive candidates for an open vigo's position were Kaird of the Nediji and Prince Xizor. At fifty-eight years old, Underlord Perhi was careful to keep the two beings off-balance by pitting them against each other in subtle schemes, thereby ensuring that both kept their ambitions focused on the vigo position. He often played shock-ball with them in order to gage their abilities and their ambitions. He also understood what drove both beings, and learned that Kaird's motivation came from a desire to return to his homeworld of Nedij. For this reason, Perhi secretly gave Kaird a mission to eliminate Xizor. To ensure that Xizor had something else to occupy his mind, Perhi alerted him to the search for the rogue droid 10-4TO, and Kaird followed his rival during the search.

Unknown to both Kaird and Dal Perhi was the fact that Prince Xizor was already plotting his own attempt to remove them both and assume the role of Underlord. Xizor had a human replica droid created to imitate Perhi, and verified that the technology could pass inspection by revealing it to Kaird after Xizor captured the Nediji. (DMSH, EAP, CN1)

Periander Feedback Circle
This was a form of computer security system meant to emit a shrill humming noise whenever a being tried to infiltrate a computer. As the illegal slicer got deeper into a system, the noise grew louder and louder. Many computer slicers actually found the Circle quite useful, as it gave them an idea of how well a slicing operation was going. (GMR10)

Peridon's Folly
This planet was a toxic, highly-industrialized weapons depot used by blackmarket dealers to sell state-of-the-art systems. The surface of the planet was covered with industrial urban centers and sprawling manufacturing facilities, with the only natural areas given over to weapons testing sites. It was on this planet that IG-88B collected its first bounty, removing a competitor from the path of the dictator Grlubb. (TBH)

Perigen
A non-narcotic painkiller which reduces concentration as a side-effect. (COJ)

Perihelion
This was one of three luxury liners that were owned by Janvar Jan and Cularin Star Tours, during the last years of the Old Republic. Like her sister ships, the Crest of Dawn and the Twilight's Kiss, the Perihelion was a top-of-the-line Koensayr Star Yacht that was outfitted with special communications and tracking gear that allowed CST to monitor and track the ship's position in the Cularin System. Because of the strange disapperance of the Cularin System, as well as the growing tensions between the Old Republic and the Separatists, the vessels were equipped with independently-powered emergency transmitters that could be used in an emergency to call the CST support vessel Starchaser IV for rescue.

On one of her first voyages, the Perihelion was rented by a team from the Alderaanian Biological Research Institute, to serve as the base of operations for their investigation into the bio-diversity of the Cularin System. Unknown to the crew, a group of mynocks attached themselves to the ship's hull and began draining it of power. Systems onboard the Perihelion began to fail, and an emergency call was sent out, prompting a rescue by the freelance crew of the Starchaser IV. Once the mynocks were driven off, the scientists and crew of the Perihelion were able to restore power and continue on their way.

However, the crew of the Starchaser IV later discovered that the scientists were not really scientists, but were actually the Liana Liberators. (REPL)

Peril
This Imperial Lancer-class frigate was part of the fleet which protected the Damorian repair yards near Esseles. It supported the Sodrab, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)

Perilix
This water-covered planet was the homeworld of the Bivalva contemplativa. (YDR)

Periphery, The
This disputed area of the galaxy separated the Outer Rim Territories from Hutt space. (GG12, SSR)

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

Perit
This Mon Calamari was one of Prince Xizor's vigos, or one of his closest lieutenants. A former slave of one of Sienar Fleet Systems' executives, Perit learned the ins and outs of business and management while observing his master. Over time, Perit was given certain duties in the Sienar facility on Byblos, until he was suddenly reassigned to a master on Coruscant. That master turned out to be none other than Xisor himself, who had discovered Perit through the Mon Cal's infiltration of Sienar's datafiles. Perit eventually earned his position as vigo, controlling a wealth of technology and computer-related criminal rings. To many observers, Perit was the closest thing Xizor had to a friend. This earned Perit a measure of jealous from his fellow vigos, but Perit intimate knowledge of their business dealings kept most of them from trying to eliminate him. (SE, SESB, RESB)

Perithal VI
This planet was the site of an Institute of Starship Engineering campus. (GG9)

Perj

This mammalian scavenger, native to the planet Lok, was known for its mournful cry, often heard at night. (ROD)

Perlemian Standard Passport
This was one of the galaxy's most definitive forms of identification, used during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN5)

Perlemian Trade Route
One of two major trade spines servicing the galaxy, the Perlemian Trade Route traveled from the Core Worlds out to the Rim territories. The origins of the Perlemian Trade Route could be traced back to the original formation of the Old Republic, when its discovery linked Coruscant to Ossus, thereby linking the Jedi Knights and the Republic. Along with the Corellian Trade Spine, the Perlemian Trade Route defined the section of the galaxy known as The Slice. Part of the Perlemian ran through the Darpa and Bormea Sectors, and connected - in order - Corulag, Chandrila, Brentaal, Esseles, Rhinnal, and Ralltiir. The Perlemian Trade Route intersected with the Hydian Way near Brentaal, making the planet one of the most strategically important worlds in the Core. During the Yuuzhan Vong War, the planets along the Perlemian Trade Route were devastated by the alien invaders, and much of the hyperspace lane was mined to prevent the ships of the Galactic Alliance from reaching these outlying worlds. After the end of the war, these planets remained fairly isolated, and the natives chose to stay close to home and rebuild their planets, rather than travel to other worlds. (RPG, SWJ7, NECH, DBPD, MF)

Perlemian Traffic Control
This independent police force was charged with maintaining law and order along the Perlemian Trade Route, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (RCTZ)

This building material was used in the formation of landing pads and roadways. Although extremely durable, permacrete wore down over time, requiring regular repairs to seal cracks and ridges. (TB, AC, A)

Permadome
This was a form of pre-fabricated housing facility that was created during the last decades of the Old Republic. (RCHC)

Permaglas
see Permglass (RF1)

Permaglass
This was a form of high-strength glass-like material used in the construction of domes and skylights, during the last decades of the Old Republic and for many years afterward. Use of permaglass was common on urban planets, where buildings and structures needed to stand up to the elements, as well as various forms of pollution. (LEV, LF2)

This durable material was used to create protective windows, during the final years of the Old Republic. (RDV)

Permeles
This ball of frozen ice and rock was the eighth and outermost planet of the Essesia System. (CCW)

Pernicar
This Jedi Knight was one of Lord Hoth's closest lieutenants, during the preparations for the Battle of Ruusan. Despite heavy losses, Pernicar was optimistic about the Jedi's chances of defeating the Brotherhood of Darkness. The son of a scribe, Pernicar wanted to follow in his father's footsteps as a youth, but his father sent him away to train with the Jedi at the first sign of his connection to the Force. Pernicar resented this until he was old enough to understand his father's decision, a decision which his father believed would be the very best for Pernicar. Unfortunately, his father died before Pernicar could apologize for his mistrust. Pernicar later joined the Jedi Order, and took at least one Padawan, Wud Mortull. Some eighteen years before the Battle of Ruusan, Mortull went missing, and appeared eight years later in the company of the Sith. Pernicar confronted his former student, who drew a lightsaber and attacked Pernicar. Pernicar reacted swiftly, cutting Mortull down, but was dismayed to see that Mortull was still smiling.

Ten years later, on Ruusan, Pernicar served as both a military advisor and a buffer between Hoth and Valenthyne Farfalla, who were constantly arguing about the plans for battle. Pernicar himself died on Ruusan, in the initial wave of Sith attacks, before Lord Farfalla could arrive with reinforcements. Although Lord Hoth despaired at the death of his friend, he was surprised when Pernicar's spirit appeared in a dream. The avatar of Pernicar implored Hoth to set aside his differences with Lord Farfalla and recognize his loyalty to the Jedi, as evidenced by the fact that Farfalla had returned with reinforcements, but was unable to break the Sith blockade over Ruusan. Pernicar explained that many believed Hoth had fallen to the Dark Side, and told his friend to prove himself a Jedi, so that Farfalla would have no more reason to question him. (JVS, DBPD, EGF)

Pernicar
This scorched ball of fiery rock was the innermost planet of the Hoth's Brand System, located in the Teraab Sector of the Colonies Region of the galaxy. (SWMW)

Pernon, Rial
This young native of Eiattu was Gror Pernon's son. Rial was a full Count in the Eiattuan royalty, and was Plourr's second cousin. Once Plourr was returned to Eiattu, Rial assumed that he would be her future husband, since they had been betrothed as children. During the restoration of the Eiattuan monarchy, Rial flew his modified Z-95 Headhunter in battle with Rogue Squadron. (XWWP)

Perootu
This feline was domesticated, and was kept as a pet by many beings throughout the galaxy. (E2N)

Perosa
This thick-boled, deciduous tree was native to the Forest Moon of Endor, and was used by the Ewoks for a variety of purposes. The thick, soft bark could be peeled off and cooked like meat, or it could be dried and used as a form of body armor. The sap, drawn from the tree's secondary bark layer, could be boiled down and reduced to form an effective adhesive. However, it caused severe allergic reactions in Kel Dor and Gand individuals. (GMR9, GORW)

Perosei
This man was a member of the Royal Naboo Security Forces during the rule of Queen Amidala. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Officer Perosei was held by the battle droid forces of the Trade Federation.

Perosei was a weapons expert, and could disassemble and reassemble a blaster in less than sixty seconds. (CCG15)

Perovskitic Aluminum
This dense form of aluminum was often combined with steel in the production of starship thruster systems. The use of perovskitic aluminum helped to reduce the overall weight and mass of the thrusters, allowing for better thrust-to-mass ratios. (SWG2P)

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

Perrinn Sector
An area of the galaxy. (PP)

Perris
This man served the New Republic Navy as the flight coordinator for the Peregrine after Garm Bel Iblis joined the New Republic. At the time of the Caamas Incident, Perris had achieved the rank of Commander. He later commanded the starfighters during the raid on Yaga Minor's Ubiqtorate station. (SOP, VOF)

Perrive
This tall, bearded man agreed to meet with Kal Skirata, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis, when Skirata and the clone commandos of Delta and Omega Squads executed their black-ops mission to smash a terrorist ring that had been attacking military facilities on Coruscant. Perrive, believed to have been a native of Jabiim, appeared as a buyer of high-grade explosives, placing him in the middle of the terrorist operations. Kal gained his trust by posing as an explosives dealer, agreeing to provide 500-grade thermal plastoid to Perrive and his people. Surveillance of their actions led to the identification of Hela Madiry as the individual who was leaking information on the Grand Army of the Republic. Once the connections between the terrorists and the Separatists had been established by Skirata and his commandos, Perrive became a target of the larger mission. Walon Vau and Etain Tur-Mukan tailed Perrive to his apartment, and it was Vau who shot and killed Perrive in order to silence his operations once and for all. (RCTZ)

Perrsta, Jonnas
This man was the Captain of TransGalMeg Industries' corporate security force in the city of Grig, on the planet Narg. He was part of the Farool brothers' plan to use Crying Dawn Singer in an attempt to discredit the Alliance, and held the Shashay at the TGM facility in Grig, on the planet of Narg. A short man with long blond hair, Perrsta became increasingly worried about his role in the plan, fearing reprisal from TGM's security force or the Empire itself. When Moff Nile Owen ordered him to move Singer to Toggeus and delay any Alliance rescue attempt, Perrsta quickly moved to comply. However, he was unable to contain them. (TA)

Persha
This female Fia was the primate of Al'solib'minet'ri City during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She was assigned by Councilor Jobath to greet Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, when they arrived at Galantos as part of a mission to being restoring communication to the galaxy. Persha was forced into the role because Jobath feared that the true reason behind the communications blackout - that the Fia had made a deal with the Yuuzhan Vong to eliminate the Yevetha - would be revealed. (FH1)

Pershon
This aging man was the loyal servant of the Hejaran family, acting as the butler and confidante to several generations of Barons. He held himself to blame when Lucian Hejaran pased away, having been unable to prevent the political intrique which swept the Tapani Sector during the height of the New Order. When Lucian's heirs gathered to hear his will, Pershon was strangled to death by a pair of seeming invisble hands, since his neck bore no marks of strangulation. (TSIA)

Pers'lya
This Bothan served as the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, until he was impeached by the conspiracy that had Contispex placed in command of the galaxy, some 12,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (OWS)

Personal Data Assistant
This was the term used to describe any computer device that stored physical and personal information about an individual. Any of the information could be displayed quickly, usually in the form of a holographic, head's-up display. PDAs, as they were called, were found most often in soldier and commando gear, as well as in starpilot gear. (DF)

Personal shield
A small shield generator that can surround an individual with a protective field. The generator was often hidden in a belt or other bodily device. These shields have two drawbacks. First, they were too small to allow sufficient power for long-lasting protection. Second, the shield tended to get hot very quickly, literally frying the user if they accidentally touched the energy barrier. (CPL)

Personal Water
This was the slang term used by many clone commandos of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe the water that was recycled by their Katarn body armor. This recycled water was collected from sweat and urine and passed through onboard filters that were claimed to produce drinkable water that rivalled spring water from the planet Naboo. Many commandos, however, never got over the fact that this so-called personal water had been consumed and excreted over and over, especially during a long mission. (RC66)

PersonalAssistant-4x
This model of recorder rod was produced by TaggeCo for consumer use. It used removable storage crystals to hold up to 100 hours of information. (EGW)

Persuader-class Droid
see NR-N99 (SWDB)

Persuader-class Droid Enforcer
This immense, treaded combat droid was produced by the Corporate Alliance during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The main body of the droid was given over to handling the huge central tread, which ran from two small wheels at the front and rear to the massive drive wheel near the front of the droid. Two wheeled outriggers could be extended to provide stability when moving over rough terrain. Attached to the housing that protected the drive wheel were two eye-like visual sensors that provided the Persuader with information about its surroundings. Tracking, sensor, and communications systems were located atop the droid's main body, while while a homing laser and an ion cannon were mounted to each side. The Persuader-class droid stood 6.2 meters in height, not including the comm relay, and could attain speeds of fifty kilometers per hour. The Corporate Alliance developed the Persuader to act as a short-range reconnaissance drone, moving into enemy territory to gather information about troops strengths and terrain. Although first put to widespread use during the Clone Wars, these droids were originally used on missions where the Corporate Alliance felt it had to protect its assets or forcibly recover what it was owed. While the Persuader was quite effective in its mission profile, it could only be used on stable, open terrain. It could not maneuver in forested areas, and often fell through the surface of snow- and ice-covered worlds. (NEGV)

Pert, Beezar
This aging Gungan served as the leader of the Great Municipal Band, many years before the Battle of Naboo. A noted musikagung and instructor, Pert was best known as the composer of the Symponika Crunchen-Grand, which chronicled the formation of the first Gungan Grand Army. When he announced his retirement just prior to the Battle of Naboo, the directors of the Great Municipal Band unanimously voted his apprentice, Augarra Jowil, to succeed him. (SWDB)

Pesfavri
This planet was located in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy, and was one of many worlds that were colonized by the Chiss. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, Pesfavri served as a remote base of operations for the Chiss Defense Fleet. Admiral Ar'alani directed Syndic Thrass to take the Outbound Flight to Pesfavri, after Force Commander Thrawn disabled the vessel and killed its crew, before the massive ship could be impounded by Aristocra Chaf'orm'bintrano. However, the drive systems of Outbound Flight had been badly damaged in Thrawn's attacks, and they never reached Pesfavri. (OF)

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

Peshosloc
This ancient holowright was noted for the dozens of plays that he wrote and produced to chronicle the life of Xim the Despot, nearly 16,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. It was believed that Peshosloc created scripts for more than ninety unique productions that showed part of Xim's life, many of which became part of the epic work known as The Despotica. Later contributors to The Despotica attributed a sharp rise in Xim's popularity as a historical figure to Peshosloc's works. Peshosloc's works tended to be spectacular in both word and image, and provided views with vivid examples of Xim's personality, including the Despot's lurid and horrific side. His scripts portrayed the biggest and grandest of events that made up Xim's life, bringing these amazing stories into the lives of beings who would otherwise have never experienced such things. Critics of his time panned many of Peshosloc's works, claiming that his stories were more about the explosions and gore that followed Xim, rather than investigating the emotional and psychological impact of his actions. However, others hailed Peshosloc's stories as being written in such as way that they gripped an audience without talking down to them, and future critics went so far as to say that Peshosloc's holoplays were simple tragedies of the heart that formed the basis for excellent space operas. The success and scope of Peshosloc's holoplays made him an important figure in the history of Xim the Despot, and many schools showed versions of his holoplays for student, instead of repeating the stale words found in most textbooks. (OWS)

Pesitiin
This gaseous planet, known for its intense atmospheric storms, was once the site of a Bosken & Bosken mine. Admiral Pellaeon had hoped to meet Garm Bel Iblis near Pesitiin, some ten years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, in an effort to discuss a peace treaty between the New Republic and the remnants of the Empire. Pellaeon had sent Colonel Vermel to Morishim to deliver an inviation, but Vermel was intercepted by Moff Disra's forces before he could get off a garbled message to Rogue Squadron. The message was never completely understood, and so Bel Iblis never went to Pesitiin. Pellaeon did go, to wait for Bel Iblis, but was attacked bu Cavrilhu Pirates. The pirate ships, operating under orders from Disra, were marked with Corellian Defense Forces insignia, hoping to fool Pellaeon into believing Bel Iblis was attacking. Pellaeon didn't buy the attack, recognizing several battle maeuvers that Bel Iblis would not have attempted. Unshaken, Pellaeon remained at Pesitiin, waiting for Bel Iblis while questioning the loyalty of Disra. (GG2, SOP)

Pesktda
This was the capital city of the planet Garqi, and the site of Garqi Ag University. Census numbers showed than nearly twenty-five percent of Garqi's population lived in Pesktda or one of its suburbs, many of which were harvest depots. (TFE, SWJ7)

Pesktda Detention Center
This was one of the primary prison facilities found on the planet Garqi. It was located in the city of Pesktda. (GORW)

This was the largest hospital found on the planet Garqi. It was located in the capital city of Pesktda. (GORW)

Pesktda Port
This was the primary spaceport on the planet Garqi, and was located in the city of Pesktda. (GORW)

Pesktda Xenobiological Garden
This was the foremost natural garden found on the planet Garqi, and it was located near Garqi Agricultural University. Known to the Garqians as simply The Garden, this facility was famous throughout the galaxy for its collection of exotic plantlife. It was honored as one of the only botanical gardens to have been given bafforr trees by the Ithorians. The grove of bafforr trees stood opposite a grove of greel trees, forming the endpoints of The Garden. In between these groves were stands of namana trees, senoti trees, and even a wisdom tree from Selab. It was on Garqi that Corran Horn and Jacen Solo discovered that the pollen of the bafforr tree was deadly to the Yuuzhan Vong's vonduun crab armor here, after retreating to the gardens during an attack. The Ithorians had believed that the natives of Garqi held to the same basic beliefs of nature as they did, and allowed the bafforr to be transplanted on Garqi. Horn decided that this discovery needed to be kept from the Yuuzhan Vong, and had this teams burn down the sections of the garden containing bafforr trees. Unfortunately, Shedao Shai eventually figured out why the gardens were burned. In retaliation, Deign Lian ordered the destruction of the planet Ithor. (DTR, GORW)

Pesmemben IV
It was on this planet, located in the Teraab Sector of the galxy, that Lando Calrissian ran a lithium scam during the New Order, covering the planet's sand dunes with lithium carbonate to con the Imperial governor into leasing the planet to Lando. (E6N, SWMW)

Pestage
This re-christened Victory-class Star Destroyer was part of the fleet that invaded Kheedar and helped support the martial law instituted there. (GG9)

Pestage, Sate
Emperor Palpatine's Grand Vizier, Pestage had served Palpatine as a senatorial aide before becoming one of the Emperor's most trusted advisors. During the height of the Clone Wars, Pestage was the controller of the Galactic Senate's executive agenda. This allowed him to have regular contact with the Senators, and his powers of persuasion went a long way toward convincing uncertain Senators to support Palpatine's initiatives. However, many Senators saw his actions as little more than the thuggery of a man with no understanding of politics.

With the formation of the Galactic Empire, Pestage saw his duties increase. He personally oversaw the preparation of Palpatine's food, tasting it for poisons. He scheduled all of Palpatine's meetings, held the Imperial Seal, and managed the Emperor's household. Many beings even rumored that Pestage was one of the first clones created from Palpatine's genetic material. While none of rumors was ever proven true, Pestage's loyalty to the Emperor was without a doubt. For all his hard work, Pestage was presented with the stewardship of the Ciutric Hegemony by Palpatine himself.

Historians of the Empire acknowledge the fact that Sate Pestage, for all intents and purposes, was running the Empire at the time of the Battle of Hoth. Pestage was also one of the few people who knew about the Eidolon project, and actually diverted funds from it to build a small retreat on Tatooine. He then hired Lirin Banolt to acquire artwork and antique weapons to furnish it. Banolt managed to steal the plans for - and location of - the Eidolon, and threatened to blackmail Pestage, but the wily Vizier had Banolt executed before any damage could be done.

When the Emperor died at Endor, Pestage he assumed control of the majority of the Empire's military, although his rule was constantly questioned by other Imperial Advisors. When Pestage lost his holdings on Ciutric to Prince-Admiral Krennel, he fled to Axxila, hoping to evade Ysanne Isard. Pestage arranged to meet with Leia Organa, and the New Republic sent Winter to act as Leia on a diplomatic mission to Eiattu to cover the Axxila trip. He offered her the chance to take the planet Coruscant in return for his own safety. Leia agreed, and Pestage found a temporary safety.

Pestage also helped Leonia Tavira flee from Axxila, ensuring that another ally would be available if he needed one in his struggle against Ysanne Isard. Isard was only marginally loyal to Pestage, and had suspicions of his meeting with Leia. Pestage also told Tavira about the Eidolon weapons cache, hoping she could recover anything which remained. However, he earned the enmity of Isard when he ordered Admiral Krennel to stand down in his assault on Axxila, after Soontir Fel issued an AT3 directive to break off the attack. Isard returned to the Imperial council and brought news of Pestage's treachery, and the council ordered him to be removed form power. He fled to Ciutric with the help of Leonia Tavira, and was held by Governor Brothic.

However, a bribe kept Brothic from relaying word of his arrival to Isard, allowing the New Republic time to set up a rescue operation. Commando Team One, with the support of Rogue Squadron and Aggressor Wing, was able to liberate Pestage before Isard's forces could capture him. Pestage, however, had other ideas, and slipped away from the Republic agents and presented himself to Admiral Krennel. Krennel, however, desired more than the prestige of recovering Pestage. He killed Pestage by strangling him with his cybernetic hand.

It was later revealed that Pestage had been cloned by Sarcev Quest. While the clone was killed by Krennel, the real Pestage retired to Byss to await the possible return of Palpatine's spirit. When this did occur, Pestage was there, ready to help the new-formed Palpatine regain his power and control. The true Pestage died, however, when Byss was destroyed by the Galaxy Gun. (DE1, DESB, SWJ2, XWBT, WG, XWM, XWMR, COD, GMR5, NEGC, JT, RDV, OWS)

Petan, Piers
This man served as a Rear Admiral in the Galactic Alliance naval forces, during the years leading up to the Battle of Caamas. It was Petan who developed a bold plan to capture or kill Emperor Roan Fel, after intelligence revealed that Fel would attend a meeting with Chiss and Hapan representatives at a neutral site near Caamas. Petan was able to convince Nu Toreena of the plan, and later swayed Bail Antilles to his cause. Only Gial Gahan refused to agree to the plan, but he was outvoted by the other members of the Triumverate. Petan assumed the flagship position in the fleet that was sent to locate Emperor Fel, with Admiral Gar Stazi's fleet serving in a support role. Petan refused to believe that news of Fel's appearance might be part of an Imperial trap, and plunged ahead with his plans. The information later turned out be the bait in a trap that was laid by both the New Empire and the New Sith Order that was led by Darth Krayt. Petan and most of his fleet were wiped out by the combined Sith and Imperial forces, and Petan was forced to surrender the Galactic Alliance's forces to Morlish Veed. Admiral Stazi refused to surrender, and organized a hasty retreat in order to save the remaining warships. (SWLI)

Petition of the Two Thousand
This was the unofficial name used the Senators of the Old Republic to describe a petition started by Bail Organa and Mon Mothma to overturn some - if not all - of the emergency powers that had been granted to Chancellor Palpatine during the Clone Wars. The Senators who signed the petition - who included the original draftees Padme' Amidala, Fang Zar, Bama Breemu, Giddean Danu, and Chi Eekway - started the petition in an effort to restore democracy in the Republic without starting another war of separation. The goal of the petition was to make Palpatine realize that the need for emergency powers and extended control of the galaxy was no longer necessary. Initially, it was decided that the Jedi Order would not be consulted about the petition, because many signatory Senators were unsure of the true position of the Jedi. Although Palpatine agreed to hear the petition, he twisted its intentions when discussing it later with Anakin Skywalker. Palpatine told Anakin that the petition was not a call for a return to normalcy in the Republic, but the opening salvo in a Jedi-led plot to overthrow the Chancellor's office and place control of the galaxy in the hands of the Jedi Council. According to Palpatine, the Delegation of the Two Thousand that drafted and signed the petition was under the control of the Jedi Council's powers of persuasion. The Petition later became the basis upon which Palpatine began his purge of the Senate, since he knew that most every Senator in the Delegation of the Two Thousand had opposed his control of the galaxy. Many Senators tried to remain free of Imperial entanglements by recanting their support for the Petition, especially in the wake of the death of Fang Zar. (IS3, E3N, SWI85, RDV)

Petja
This man was one of Lord Hoth's primary aides, during the preparations for the Battle of Ruusan. An eager warrior, Petja was enamored of battle and enjoyed the grisly scenes which accompanied a Jedi victory over the Brotherhood of Darkness. Nevertheless, his resolve to serve Lord Hoth and the Light Side of the Force never wavered. As the battle turned to the Sith, Petja and many other Jedi took up bow and arrow to kill those bouncers who were being driven mad by the death toll. It was Petja who mistakenly killed Laa, an act which suddenly angered the young girl named Rain who had become friends with Laa. Reaching deep within herself to harness her anger, Rain was consumed by the Dark Side of the Force and used it to shatter every bone in Petja's body. (JVS)

Petothel, Gara
This woman, a native of Coruscant and the daughter of two Imperial Intelligence agents, was lithely built and distinguished by a beauty mark on her right cheek. Her parents groomed her to become an Intelligence agent herself, but they were arrested for an unspecified crime when she was old enough to hate them and miss them at the same time. Since the Empire had been her life, she joined the Intelligence agency and rose quickly through the ranks She spent a good deal of time in the guide of Chyan Mezzine, a New Republic Naval officer. Later, as one of the code slicers who worked on the Morrt droid deployment project, she was able to provide the Republic with the false information that led to the destruction of Talon Squadron. She also discovered the New Republic's base on Folor, but actually found the false beacons placed on the opposite side of the moon. This allowed the starfighters to scramble and get away before Trigit could attack. During the destruction of Trigit's command ship, the Implacable, Petothel used her slicing skills to gain entrance to Trigit's personal escape pods to flee the ship before it could take her with it. After escaping, she wondered at the reasons the Empire would condone the actions of a man like Trigit, who would willingly sacrifice his entire crew for a mission's outcome, especially if retreat would mean the chance to fight another day. After returning to Coruscant, she assumed the identity of Lara Notsil, which involved dyeing and cutting her hair as well as removing her birthmark. As Lara, she eventually gained a place in Wraith Squadron. The part of her that was still Gara wanted to use her new position to gain her a place with Warlord Zsinj, but after seeing the New Republic's actions from the other side, she decided to remain as Lara and break off all ties with the Empire. However, she re-used the Gara Petothel identity after she was exposed by Garik Loran's investigations and fled the Wraiths, in order to gain access to Zsinj and the Iron Fist. She claimed to be working for the Empire again, but instead managed to severely disable the Iron Fist before fleeing to Corellia and adopting the identity of Kirney Slane. (WS, IF, SOC)

Petranaki
This was the ritualistic form of arena-based martial arts that was developed by the Geonosian race. It centered on the use of specialized weaponry - known as the petranaki array - which changed very little ove rthe course of Geonosian history. It was believed that petranaki was based on Geonosian mythology, in which ancient hive overlords became angry at the incredible loss of life that occurred during the wars between rival hives. These overlords, who were giants compared to modern Geonosians, fought against each other in single combat on the surface of Geonosis. In this way, entire hives were not sacrificed in battle, but the overlords could determine who was the strongest among them. (GORW)

Petrana-ki
This was the term used by the Geonosians to describe the gladiator fights that were used to settle disputes. Based on ancient tradition, the petrana-ki allowed an individual of a lesser caste to win their way to fame or redemption.

Petranaki Array
This was the name given to the five traditional weapons used by Geonosian warriors who practiced the petranaki form of martial arts. The weapon in the array were the picador's spear, the confessor's whip, the petranaki scimitar, the caster's net, and the beastwarden's shield. (GORW)

Petranaki Scimitar
This was one of the five traditional Geonosian weapons that made up the petranaki array. The petranaki scimitar was a simple, curved blade, which was honed to razor-sharpness. It was generally considered the most useful and popular of the weapons in the petranaki array. Some warriors referred to this weapon as the butcher's scimitar. (GORW)

Petrax Historical Quarter
This was one of the oldest continually inhabited areas of the cityscape that covered the planet Coruscant, during the height of the New Order. Located north of the Imperial Palace, the Petrax Quarter was not immune to the continual, layered growth experienced on Coruscant, but excavations of its deepest layers had revealed a wealth of archaeological data. Most of the residents were human, and the inhabitants did little to promote its "historical significance." (CCW)

Petrax Quarter
This was a more common name for the Petrax Historical Quarter, located on the planet Coruscant. (CCW, CN1)

He was disgruntled with the lack of progress of Imperial peace talks between the Freda and their neighbors, the Jante, following a Freda attack on Jante holdings on Rett II. Petruma withdrew from the talks and stalled the peace process. (SWJ9)

Pets 'n' Pieces
Located at 250 Pom Plaza, in the CoCo District of Coruscant's Galactic City, this was the largest pet dealership found in the planet during the last decades of the Old Republic.

Petty Cash
This was another slang term used by bounty hunters to describe pin money. (GG10)

Peturri, Fane
This aging man contacted Schurk-Heren about purchasing the Jebble Box, during the months that followed the end of the Clone Wars. Peturri was a scholar who had done business with Schurk-Heren before, but most of their business centered on smaller artifacts. Although he questioned Peturri's ability to pay for the Jebble Box, Schurk-Heren had no reason to believe that Peturri would not be true to his word. They agreed to meet on a remote world, far from the prying eyes of the Galactic Empire. When Schurk-Heren presented the Jebble Box and asked for payment, Peturri calmly explained that there would be no payment, then stepped aside to reveal the presence of Darth Vader. Vader took Schurk-Heren and his crew prisoner, then turned the Jebble Box over to Peturri for him to figure out how to open it.

Peturri had discovered a fragmentary recording among a cache of artifacts recovered from Muunilinst that was made during the Mandalorian Wars by Marn Hierogryph, which explained that the Jebble Box was actually Lord Dreypa's Oubliette. The recording explained that Celeste Morne had been trapped inside the coffin-like device in order to prevent the Muur Talisman from causing any further trouble. Peturri explained to Vader that legend held the the Oubliette contained not only the Muur Talisman, but also a Jedi Knight. He warned Vader that opening the Oubliette was dangerous, but the Dark Lord simply took out his lightsaber and slashed it open. Peturri was as surprised as anyone when Celeste Morne was discovered inside the stasis casket, and even more surprised when it was learned that she was still alive. Peturri did his best to bring her up to date on the events that had transpired in the galaxy, but could do nothing to allay her fears and concerns.

When Celeste confronted Vader in a lightsaber duel, Peturri tried to sneak away, but Vader quickly turned on him and demanded to know the truth. Peturri was forced to reveal that he had been ordered by Emperor Palpatine to serve as Vader's Sith researcher, to help keep an eye on the Dark Lord's actions and prevent Vader from locating any artifact that might threaten the Emperor. Vader then drew upon the power of the Muur Talisman and used it to infect Peturri with the Rakghoul Plague. As soon as Peturri had turned into a rakghoul, Vader sliced his body in half, ending Peturri's life. Vader returned to Coruscant and reported to Emperor Palpatine that he had heard nothing from Peturri for several weeks. (DTV, DT3)

Pex, Tristan
This man, a native of the planet Chandrila, spent more than twelve years off-planet training for his career as the primary bodyguard to the planetary Governor. What Pex worked hard to hide was the fact that most of his career away from Chandrila was spent in the employment of the Benelex Guild, where he worked as a bounty hunter. During the early years of the New Republic, Pex was killed by Ratambo Gale, as part of a plot to rattle the confidence of Governor Jovive Centi. (CCW)

Pezzle
This man accused Lope of trying to welch out of a deal they had, during Lope's interview with Arwen Cohl. Pezzle and three of his goons tried to corner Lope, but Lope's swift gunslinging shot all four down before they could draw their own weapons. (COD)

PFG-700

PG-5
This was the designation of a series of gunnery droids which were prototyped by Industrial Automaton during the New Order. They were originally designed to augment the crews of Imperial warships with mechanical weapons, shield, and sensor operators. The PG-5 series was based on the P2 astromech design from IA, making it a large, bulky machine which was programmed to operate, repair, and maintain the ship's systems. However, these droids had to communicate via scomp link, limiting their usefulness in combat. Also, their programming was not voerly aggressive, so their ability to shoot down a target in battle was minimal at best. After the Empire rejected the prototypes it ordered from IA, the PG-5 series was discontinued. (FTD)

PG-7u
This short range primary threat analysis grid was part of the Fabritech ANs-5c and ANs-5d sensor packages. Many of these units were produced during the final years of the Old Republic, but saw use on Alliance starfighters during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SCRE, TSC)

Pg'lax
This entrepreneurial Verpine established the Quick Pit docking bay service on the outskirts of Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine, during the early years of the New Order. Much of his day was spent moving from ship to ship with his crew, servicing his customers and gathering their docking fees. He was also vigilant about protecting his crews, and was not afraid to confront the private docking bay owners either verbally or with a blaster. Pg'lax himself was born in the Roche system, and was noted for his love of racing. He became one of the most successful crew crew leaders on the professional swoop racing circuit, and was on Tatooine when his success caught up with him. A group of rival crews waylaid Pg'lax and his team, sabotaging their starship and stranding them on Tatooine. A brief career as a mechanic at the Mos Espa Grand Arena was followed by another attempt to destroy his career, and Pg'lax fled to Mos Eisley. There, he discovered his niche as a starship servicer, and he eventually was able to earn enough credits to start the Quick Pit operation. (GMR7)

Pg'lax
This was acommon name among the Verpine race. (UANT)

This male Yuuzhan Vong was the Master Shaper who was picked by Warmaster Tsavong Lah to investigate the source of a Jedi Knight's strength. Yal Phaath was distinguished by the yellow maa'its which he had implanted in place of his natural eyes. Master Phaath also oversaw the Shapers who were sent to Myrkr to work on discovering the Force-nullifying abilities of ysalamiri. Later, Yal Phaath was in command of the defenses aboard the worldship Baanu Rass, protecting the development and production of voxyn. He hated the fact that the Warmaster did not provide any form of defense for the voxyn breeding facility, especially after the Jedi were able to destroy the queen and escape. Yal Phaath was eventually transferred back to Coruscant, which had been reformed into a simulacrum of long-lost Yuuzhan'tar, where he was placed in charge of resolving the strange changes which were occurring as the World Brain made subtle alterations. (EVC, SBS, FH3)

Phaeda
This rocky, backwater planet was Kir Kanos' destination, after he fled Zaddja in order to escape the plans of Carnor Jax. It was a fairly obscure world, which suited the smugglers and thieves which inhabited it just fine. An Imperial garrison was placed there to ensure the locals remained quiescent, and it remained in place well after the Battle of Endor. Kanos was forced to kill several Imperial officers and a squadron of stormtroopers in order to gain his freedom. Colonel Shev, who witnessed first-hand the skills of Kanos, sought to capture him in order to secure a promotion.

Phaeda was known as a haven for gangsters and other criminals, and many beings stated that it was little more than an up-scale version of Nar Shaddaa. The planet had two moons, a larger brown moon, and a smaller green moon. (CE, LF8)

Phalanx
This New Republic Majestic-class battle cruiser served under the Fifth Battle Group. It suffered major damage during the unsuccessful blockade of Doornik-319. It was attempting to recover a damaged E-Wing fighter with one of its tractor beams, when it took a direct hit to the bow. The first fourteen decks were damaged. (SOL)

Phalanx Decode
This was an Alliance encryption algorithm. (HAS)

Phalla
This man was known at the Q'Maere Research Facility as the "patient facilitator," a position which gave him plenty of leeway to torture his patients as he saw fit. To visitors and his fellow doctors, Phalla was a polite and cheerful fellow, with a cherub-like face and intense passion for his work. (KR)

Phanan
This surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG)

Phanan, Ton
This native of Rudrig was a pilot with the New Republic, and he was one of the original members of Wraith Squadron. Ton was the only son of parents who had him late in life, and they both died before he finished his education. e served as a doctor aboard an Alliance medical frigate during the Battle of Endor, but his ship was hit by a barrage of Imperial laser fire. A structural beam fell on him, causing massive amounts of damage to his skull. As a result, he wore a prosthetic headgear that covered most of his face, but his remaining blue eye and flowing moustahces gave him the appearance of an Imperial warlord. The prosthetics were necessary because Ton was allergic to bacta. He served as Wraith Squadron's medical officer. During the battle which resulted in the destructon of the Implacable near Ession, Phanan's X-Wing took a hit and he was forced to eject. Shrapnel from the explosion perforated his spleen, and he spent some time on Borleias recovering. Once again, he was unable to receive bacta treatments, and his recovery was slow. He eventually rejoined the Wraiths, and was instrumental in the early stages of the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. However, during the Hawk-bat raid on the Imperial garrison in Hullis, on the planet Halmad, Ton was shot down in his TIE fighter by an Imperial pilot. His landing was too hard to pull out of, and he suffered massive internal injuries in the crash. He was rescued by Garik Loran, who managed to avoid Imperial patrols to get them closer to his own ship. However, before they could escape the planet, Ton died of his injuries. As he was requested, Face burned Phanan's body, leaving nothing but ashes for the Imperials to find. In his will, he left Face a large sum of money, payable only if Face had the large scar on his face surgically removed. If the scar wasn't removed, the money went to Loran's arch-nemisis, Tetran Cowall. (WS, IF)

Phanius
This Umbaran was a noted Jedi Master, during the years leading up to New Sith Wars. About a thousand years before the Battle of Ruusan, Master Phanius was known as a charismatic individual who had secretly been investigating the ancient arts of the Sith. In his spare time, Master Phanius gathered a wealth of knowledge about Sith lore, which eventually led him to abandon the Jedi Order entirely to pursue this "alternative knowledge." Thus, Phanius became one of The Lost, having voluntarily left the Jedi Order. When he believed that he had finally broken through the mental barriers that had been erected by years of training under the Jedi Order, Phanius decided that he had completed his training in the Sith arts, and proclaimed himself Darth Ruin. He managed to attract several other Jedi Knights to his cause, but was eventually killed by his followers. In the wake of his death, however, the New Sith began to grow in strength and power. (OWS, EGF)

Phanlanx

Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, the Phantele was charged with transporting a group of Ripoblus diplomats to Sepan 8, where they were to meet with Dimok representatives to discuss a joint alliance to fight back against the Empire. The Imperial forces in the Sepan System learned of the meeting and sent a small task force to prevent. The Phantele was captured, along with the Dimok shuttle Keydon. (TIE, TIEP)

Phantele, Siiruulian
This was the name given to Max Rebo upon his birth. Siiruulian was the youngest of five offspring, and was also the runt of his family.

Phantom Menace, The
This was the title of Episode I of Star Wars, as supposedly documented in the Journal of the Whills. (E1)

Phantom Project
The codename of the Mrlssi project to develop a working cloaking device for the Empire. It was developed by Rorax Falken and the Mrlssti students working for him, and was essentially a smoke-screen designed to swindle the Empire out of every credit it would pay. Funds for the Phantom Project were diverted to other research under Falken's control, a fact that went unnoticed under Palpatine's reign. Following the death of Palpatine at Endor, the remnants of the Empire began demanding results from Falken, who had suffered a breakdown upon learning of the use of his work in the construction of the Death Star. Gyr Keela, who succeeded Falken as President of the Academy, was unaware that the Phantom Project was a faked, and attempted to deal with the Empire. He decided to gain every credit possible by putting the Project up for bids to the New Republic and the remnants of the Empire. Wedge Antilles became the Republic's representative in the negotiations for the Phantom's plans, opposite his old nemesis Loka Hask. The proposed design of the Phantom Project was unique in that it required very little energy to maintain the cloaking effect over an entire ship. It also had the ability to resist the effects of a gravity well projector. The falsehood of the Project was revealed when Rogue Squadron defeated Loka Hask and discovered - from Falken's students - that the project was not real. However, it did lead to the discovery of the gravitic polarization beam. (XWPA)

Phase 3
This exo-shell deflector shield generator was adapted for ground vehicle use by Rothana Heavy Engineering, and was first used on the TX-130 Saber-class fighter tank during the Clone Wars. The Phase 3 could absorb incredible amounts of incoming fire, but had to be taken briefly offline to recharge. The modified Phase 3 units installed on TX-130 tanks were exceptionally quick to recharge, but required that the tanks employ augmented hull plating. (OWS, WOTC)

Phase A Power Cell

Phase II Armor
This was the name given to the second generation of clone trooper armor produced for the Grand Army of the Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Phase II Armor provided better protection and a wider range of configurations for the clone troopers, allowing them to operate in a large number of planetary environments. Phase II armor served as the basis for the specialized armor that was worn by the Shadow Troopers. (SWI84, SWI100)

At this time, Phaseera's urban centers were established around manufacturing facilities thaqt provided the Old Republic with a wide range of products. The Brotherhood of Darkness captured the planet shortly before the final conflict at Ruusan, but only after the soldier named Dessel purposely disobeyed the orders he was given and delayed his attack on a Republic communications center. The delay allowed Des and his men to attack under cover of growing darkness, rather than being spotted during the daylight, thereby saving his men and ensuring that the main Sith army could attack without the Republic being alerted to its presence. (DBPD)

They went into the information business, primarily stealing what he couldn't obtain himself in the city of Mos Eisley. The last job they took came as a result of Dengar's trying to alert Kuat of Kuat that Boba Fett was still alive. Hamame and Phedroi figured that they could kill the armored bounty hunter and reap a nice profit for delivery of his body. However, Fett and Dengar managed to elude them long enough to get a signal to Slave I. Hamame and Phedroi pinned the bounty hunters down in a small desert cave, but Fett brought his ship from orbit to land on top of them. (MA)

This was one of the largest cities found on the planet Eriadu. (HNN4)

Phelar Floe
This was the name used to describe the ice-filled rivers and streams that flowed into the Bay of Conquest, on the planet Eriadu. Although much of the ice and water from the mountains started out relatively pure, by the time it passed through several manufacturing centers it had become so polluted that it no longer supported aquatic life. (GORW)

Phelar Port
This spaceport was located in the city of Phelar, on the planet Eriadu. Shortly before the Clone Wars, the Jedi Knights established a starfighter base at Phelar Port, in an effort to bolster security in the Seswenna Sector. (HNN5)

Phelarion
This planet was noted as one of the sole sources of megonite moss. During the centuries leading up to the Clone Wars, the mines were controlled by the Motti family. After the formation of the Galactic Empire, Lady Tarkin assumed control of the world, following Thalassa Motti's marriage into the Tarkin family. After the death of her husband, Wilhuff Tarkin, Lady Tarkin provided the megonite as a source of explosives for the Empire, in memory of her husband. (CSWEA, OWS)

Phelleem Sector
This area of the galaxy was known as the home of the ancient Kashi Mer dynasty. During the early years of the New Republic, the Phelleem Sector was subjugated by Flint, under orders from the Dark Lady Lumiya. (TOJC, OWS)

Phelly
This Imperial Navy Lieutenant served as a helmsman aboard the Lusankya, under the command of Jaok Drysso during the Battle of Thyferra. (BW)

Phemis
This planet was believed to have been the only source of rubat crystals, which could used by the ancient Jedi Knights in the construction of a lightsaber. (KOTOR)

Phemiss
This was the capital city of the planet New Plympto, nestled between the Tsilor Sea and the Pharine River. Much of the city's roadways were connected in an intricate, circular network that meandered around the living quarters of the native Nosaurians. Offworlders were advised to leave the driving to the natives when they visited Phemiss. (CCW)

Phemiss Bridge
This was one of many bridges leading into the city of Phemiss, on the planet New Plympto. This was the main bridge used by the Nosaurian race. (CCW)

Phemiss Low Port
This was the best of the three spaceports found in the capital city of Phemiss, on the planet New Plympto. A collection of shanties was established on the outskirts of the spaceport, built by clanless Nosaurians who turned to panhandling to earn a living. (CCW)

Phenaru Prime
A mythical world created to help Rogue Squadron plan its second attack on Borleias, the name was intended to throw off any Imperial interception of the plan's details. Phenaru Prime was given an asteroid belt and new land/ocean configurations to further mask it from Borleias. (XWN)

Phenets
This surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG)

Phenets, Lee
This man was a Cloud City maintenance specialist whose job, under Lando Calrissian, was to keep the city running smoothly. He was one of the few humans on the station to be respected for his work by the Ugnaughts. (CCG5)

Phennir, Turr
This Imperial Navy officer commanded the 181st Imperial Fighter Group in the period after Soontir Fel defected from Imperial service. He had admired Fel, and had been Fel's wingman during much of their campaign against the Alliance and the New Republic. Phennir joined the Empire shortly after his older brother was shot down and killed by Wedge Antilles during the Battle of Yavin.

Phennir was later chosen for the 181st by Fel himself, and was promoted to Commander after his personally killing four Alliance transports in the ambush at Derra IV. Phennir was given command of a squadron in the 181st, while Fel was promoted to Colonel and command of the entire group. Phennir held little loyalty to Sate Pestage, and hoped that Fel would leave Imperial service to form his own group of Imperials. Phennir planned to defect with Fel, but was left out of the Baron's plans entirely. This left Phennir with a deep hatred of Fel.

He became the more decorated Imperial pilot in the wake of Fel's disappearance, and was nominated to represent the Empire when the planet Adumar chose to become part of the galactic community. He found himself working against Wedge Antilles and the pilots of Rogue Squadron while on Adumar, but had no qualms about shooting down every Adumari pilot who challenged him. In the civil war which broke out as a result of Cartann's claim to be the seat of Adumar's world government, Phennir and his pilots sided with the nation of Cartann. However, they were all shot down by Wedge and his pilots, who were flying for the Yedagonian Confederacy. Phennir managed to survive, and fled back to the Agonizer. When the Star Destroyer returned to Adumar to take the world from the Republic, it met with serious resistance from a massed Republic defense fleet. Phennir was shot down in battle, and was left to freeze in space until a rescue could be mounted.

Phennir survived the battle, although he remained out of action for many years. He resurfaced some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, having been named the new Supreme Commander of the military forces that were amassed by The Confederation. Having attained the rank of General, Phennir was sent to Gilatter Eight to lead The Confederation's forces against a fleet of Galactic Alliance warships that had been sent to the gas giant to thwart the election of a new Supreme Commander. In reality, the "meeting" that was to take place in orbit around Gilatter Eight was little more than a ruse meant to lure the GA into a trap. None of the beings who arrived at the planet were actual delegates, just actors who could portray them long enough to set the trap in motion. The battle that was fought ended up being a tactical draw, although the forces of The Confederation claimed victory at having survived the Galactic Alliance's own attempt at springing a trap.

Phennir continued to serve as the Supreme Commander, and it was rumored that he was unaware of Sadras Koyan's plans to negotiate a Corellian settlement with the Galactic Alliance. When Koyan's plans turned out to be a trap, and the Prime Minister used the Centerpoint Station repulsor in an attempt to assassinate Jacen Solo, Phennir grew angry. He argued that, since Corellia was a part of The Confederation, the Centerpoint Station was actually a Confederation asset, and should only have been used after a plan was devised by The Confederation's military advisors. When Koyan threatened to take Centerpoint and use it to obtain full Corellian independence, Phennir countered by stating that The Confederation would honor such independence, including the removal of all military support, foodstuffs, intelligence, and medical supplies that it was providing to Corellia. Koyan refused to back down, but did not pursue the matter further. In the midst of the Corellian embargo, Phennir agreed to a discussion with Denjax Teppler, hoping to convince Teppler to help him remove Sadras Koyan from power.

Phennir found himself planning the battles that made up the Alliance-Confederation War, matching Cha Niathal blow-for-blow until Jacen Solo took on the title of Darth Caedus and initiated his bid to assume total control of the galaxy. The Confederation's forces found themselves in fewer battles as Darth Caedus focused his efforts on eliminating the new Jedi Order, and Phennir was more than happy to watch as Caedus was ultimately defeated at the Battle of Shedu Maad. In the years that followed, Phennir remained the Supreme Military Commander of The Confederation, and became the de facto leader of The Confederation when no other being stepped in to assume leadership. He agreed to meet with the leaders of the Galactic Alliance and the Imperial Remnant during the first Unification Summit, more than three years after the Battle of Shedu Maad, in an attempt to see what kind of offer Chief of State Nataso Daala would put forth for galactic unity. (SOC, SOA, CCG11, LF4, LF7, FJ1)

Pheromone Dart
This form of injection dart delivered a simple pheromone to the body of the target being. The pheromone could be of any variety, and was chosen to elicit a specific reaction from the beings and creatures in the immediate vicinity of the target. As an example, some assassins and bounty hunters used pheromone darts that were filled with the chemicals exuded by predators during the mating season, to draw a predator close to their target and create a situation in which the predator attacked and killed the target for them. (RF1)

Pheron, Tazur
This man was an official Knight who served House Mecetti in the Tapanu Sector of the galaxy. Sir Pheron was the grand-nephew of Lord Bode' Leobund XI himself, and was known as a courageous - if not reckless - soldier and protector. (TSIA)

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

Phibian Beer
This was a popular beer that was brewed during the Clone Wars. (MBS)

Phidna
This Geonosian parasite was cultivated by the Geonosians in hydroponic gardens, where the parasite thrived but could also be controlled. The excertions of the phidna were mixed with powdered stone to create a kind of concrete, which was used by the Geonosians in the construction of their hive spires. (VD2)

P'hiili
This was an aquatic creature that was once native to the planet Yuuzhan'tar. The p'hiili was distinguished by its shrill cry, and was often kept in ponds or moats outside a residence as a kind of organic alarm system. P'hiili would eat just about anything that came into their reach, a trait which made them useful as guards. (FP)

Phil-fiber
This material was used to make inexpensive clothing and other textiles. The organic nature of phip-fiber meant that, if not properly cared for, it could become rotten and unravel. (EVR)

Philinda
This attractive woman was part of a Cularin delegation to Uffel, some years after the Battle of Naboo, which traveled to the moon to see the droid production facilities there. Philinda drew the attention of Jedi Knight San Herrera, who followed her every move, much to the dismay of his partner, Nia Reston. (WOTC)

Philo
This blue-skinned Gran served as a Senator to the Old Republic, during the era of the Clone Wars. Senator Philo was one of the primary opponents of the Enhanced Privacy Invasion Bill, which would have given Chancellor Palpatine and his closest advisors unprecendented access to the private information of galactic citizens. He planned to meet with those Senators who did not support the bill prior to the voting session. This meant that he was among the group of Senators that was held hostage by Cad Bane, when the bounty hunter tried to get Ziro the Hutt freed from prison. When Bane refused to let them go free, Senator Philo tried to storm out of the chamber in which they were being held. Unfortunately, Bane was not about to let anyone foil his plans, and he shot Philo in the back in order to keep him from alerting the Senate Guard. Senator Philo' death also served as a deadly reminder to the other Senators to keep their mouths shut and go along with Bane's plans. (CWTV22)

Phindar
This planet was the homeworld of the Phindian race. It was a world of contrats, with open wilderness giving way to large population centers. The atmosphere was humid and tropical. Near the equator, jungles dominated the landscape, broken only by rugged mountain ranges. Near the poles, the planet's warm environment gave way to forests. Very few off-worlders visited the planet, which suited the Phindians just fine. During the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, Phindar was controlled by the Syndicat, which took control of the Renewal process and used it to solidify their position of power. When the Clone Wars broke out and the Separatists attacked Phindar Station, the planetary government decided to ally themselves with the Galactic Republic. This alliance remained in place, albeit tenuously, during the era of the New Order, and the Phindians were among the first races to ally with the New Republic. (HP, PH)

Phindar
This was another name used to describe the members of the Phindian race. (HP)

Phindar Spaceport
This was the primary spaceport found on the planet Phindar, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The native Phindians proclaimed that the spaceport was the "Gateway to the Outer Rim." (YDR)

Phindian
This race of tall, mournful humanoids had fair skin and long, rubbery arms. Phindians were distinguished by their eyes, which were yellow with red streaks. They were native to the planet Phindar, and were sometimes referred to as Phindar. They were a race of isolationists, preferring to remain on Phindar and keep other peoples off their planet. However, they realized that interstellar trade was good for their planet, and suffered through it. As a people, Phindians maintained strong family ties, and could be stubborn in virtually any aspect of their lives. They were known be sarcastic and often contradictory in their communications with other races, and were prone to exaggeration. As a race, the Phindians were noted for their advanced technology, which included the memory-altering techniques that became the basis for the Renewal process. (DR, HP, UANT, YDR, PH)

Phindian
This was the spoken langauge of the Phindian race, consisting of soft sibilants and long vowel sounds. (UANT)

Phineas, Milo
This former Imperial Navy Captain retired from active duty and joined the Corporate Sector's own naval fleet. He served under Commander Baruche Sloane, counterpointing Sloane's own icy demeanor. A short, stocky man, Phineas always wore a disarming smile which belied his cold, calculating mind. He uses this trait to gain the confidence of those he's investigating, then he arrests them. (TSK)

Phin-Mar, Ermin
This Old Republic explorer and archaeologist was the first individual to discover the Oracle at Pelgrin, some 3,000 years before the Battle of Naboo. Phin-Mar's initial work on Pelgrin led to the assertion that the device was used as an astronomical computer that could help the extinct pelgrin race predict certain future events. Thus, the device became known as the Oracle. Phin-Mar assumed that the Oracle was operated by dozens of Pelgrins, but no amount of effort on the exploration team's part could make it work. Only the presence of several Jedi Knights, most notably Shannur Darkstar, brought to light the Oracle's true source of power. (PJSB)

Phinx, Zesi
This ancient Anzati female lived on the planet Coruscant during the last millennia of the Old Republic. Although no one could verify her story, Zesi Phinx claimed to have been on the planet for so long that her kills numbered in the hundreds of thousands. To most beings she encountered, Zesi Phinx was an amiable young woman who could tell vivid stories about events which occurred centuries or even millennia before. Most of her serach for prey occurred at the Outlander Club, where she scanned the clientele for her next victim. This gave rise to the rumor that an Anzati stalked the Outlander Club, although Zesi Phinx's true nature was never revealed. (CCW)

Phiris
This temperate world was the sixth planet in the Empress Teta System, and was orbited by two moons. (PH)

Phizbin
This simple game was favored by starship pilots. (SWJ4)

Phizbin Marsh
This was an artificial marsh, created on the Ugnaught Surface as a reminder of the marshes of the planet Gentes. It was located near the primary city of Ugnorgrad. (PH)

Phizz
This was a soft drink favored by the youth of the galaxy, during the height of the New Order. (T15)

Phlac-Arphocc Automata Industries
A part of the Colicoid Creation Nest, this manufacturer of combat droids produced the Tri-fighters, along with Colla Designs, used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. Phlac-Arphocc also produced the superdense, radioactive fuels used by HMP droid gunships and other Separatist vessel. Like other corporations that supported the Separatists, Phlac-Arphocc Automata Industries was disbanded in the wake of the Clone Wars. During the years that followed the Alliance-Confederation War, the Colicoids tried to regain a share of the military market by reforming Phlac-Arphocc and petitioning the Galactic Alliance for the right to begin producing military equipment. With the help of the Colicoid Creation Nest, Phlac-Arphocc hired Lestra Oxic to represent them, hoping that a high-profile case would put more pressure on the Galactic Alliance to accept their case. Note that Millennium Falcon refers to this corporation as Colla-Arphocc Automata. (X3, MF)

Phlegmin
Porcellus' kitchen boy while he worked in Jabba the Hutt's palace. Like Ak-Buz, Porcellus found Phlegmin dead in the kitchens of an unknown cause, although Porcellus feared that it had something to do with fierfek brought on by his hatred of Jabba. (TJP)

Phlik
This Shistavenan wolfman lurked in the Mos Eisley cantina some years after the Battle of Yavin. He was secretly recruiting Alliance agents when he met Garve. Garve's delivery of Imperial prisoners - liberated from the Jellyfish Cove penal facility - gave Phlik a large number of recruits to process. (GAL4, TMEC)

Phlog
This race of giant creatures inhabited the Simoon desert on Endor's forest moon, although it was believed that the race was not originally native to the moon. Records of the travels of the slave ship Sickly Tremor indicate that the slavemaster Zephyrus was transporting a race of massively-strong beings to sell as slaves when he suddenly vanished. The descriptions of the creatures Zephyrus hoped to capture were very similar to those of the Phlogs. Despite these reports, or perhaps complimentary to them, other xenobiologists have found evidence that suggests the Phlogs were related to the Gorax, although most Phlogs hated and feared the Gorax.

Phlogs were known for their incredible size and strength. Males could attain heights of twenty meters, with the females being slightly shorter. Their orange skin was incredibly thick and tough, and they used their pointed fingernails to tear bark from trees. In addition to the differences in size, the two sexes of Phlogs had certain physical characteristics. Males had lumpy features and bulbous noses, while the females had flat nostrils and horns on their heads that appeared during adolescence. Normally peaceful, the Phlogs became dangerous when disturbed. The Ewok settlement of Feather Green Village was destroyed in minutes by an angry Phlog who believed that the Ewoks had stolen his lucky hanadak skull. They once tried to chop down the father trees of the forests to build a new castle, but were driven away by Wicket, Kneesaa, and their friends. (ECAR, OWS)

Phlog
This was the monosyllabic, spoken language of the Phlogs who inhabited the Forest Moon of Endor. (OWS)

Phloid
This shy, squat man served as the computer technician of the Q'Maere Research Facility, during the time Moff Sarne used the facility as a penal colony. (KR)

Phlors Regina
This gas giant, the twin of Phlors Rex, was the seventh planet of the Axum System, located in the Core Worlds. It was orbited by 15 moons. (CCW)

Phlors Rex
This gas giant, the twin of Phlors Regina, was the sixth planet of the Axum System, located in the Core Worlds. It was orbited by 18 moons. (CCW)

Phluche's Hydrobike Rentals
This small business was owned by Phluche Maltrid, and provided tourists with transportation between Phyrstal Island and Le Yer, on the planet Abregado-Rae. (ND)

Phlut Design Systems
This weapons development corporation was based on Muunilinst during the last decades of the Old Republic. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, PDS tried to secure a huge loan from the InterGalactic Banking Clan for the development of a battle droid it hoped to sell to the Trade Federation. When PDS defaulted on a payment, the IBC foreclosed immediately, sending in General Grievous to take possession of all the coporation's assets. The new battle droid design, known as the IG Lancer droid, was eventually provided to the Trade Federation. Plans for the IG-series assassin droid were later acquired by Holowan Mechanicals, which built the droids under the codename Project Phlutdroid. (SWDB, SWI86, NEGD)

Phlynne, Hallyn
This Imperial Navy Captain commanded the Guardian-class customs ship Interceptor, patrolling the Elin Roe System during the height of the New Order. A businesslike officer whose demeanor was anything but rude, Phlynne had a single weakness: pretty women. (SWJ2)

Pho
This was the name of a family that was native to the planet Corphelion. In reality, the Pho family was a carefully constructed set of aliases developed for Jedi Masters Jai Maruk and Maks Leem, and their Padawans, Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy and Whie Malreaux, during their secret mission to Vjun at the height of the Clone Wars. According to their background history, the Pho family was traveling back to Corphelion for the wedding of a cousin. (YDR)

Pho Ph'eah
This planet was the homeworld of the Pho Ph'eahians. It was a world of varying terrain and little warmth, because its orbit followed a path that was a great distance from its sun. However, the planet itself was warmed by active geothermal energy, allowing it to sustain a variety of lifeforms. (HSR, CSA)

Pho Ph'eahese
This was the native language of the Pho Ph'eahian race. In its spoken form, Pho Ph'eahese was a sophisticated language made up of squeaks, squeals, and barks. The written form consisted of intricate characters used to represent spoken syllables. (UANT)

Pho Ph'eahian
A blue-furred, four-armed race native to Pho Ph'eah, the Pho Ph'eahians evolved from mountain-dwelling hunters. The Pho Ph'eahians contacted the Old Republic several millennia ago, offering to share their technology. They had developed nuclear fusion and limited spaceflight capabilities on their own, and quickly availed themselves of the Republic's technology. The average Pho Ph'eanian was impeccably clean, as they believed that their bodies were sacred manifestations of their spirit. As a people, Pho Ph'eahians were outgoing and cheerful, and loved to be the center of attention. (HSR, CSA, EGA, UANT)

Phoah-Kingsmeyer
Manufacturers of shipboard shield projectors and shield screen controls. (SCRE)

Phobespace
This term was used by architects throughout the galaxy to describe any three-dimensional space that was small enough to cause most beings to feel unease or afraid. The term generally referred to living spaces aboard starships and space stations, where free space was often at a premium. (DSTR)

Phobium
A metallic alloy based on the ore chanlon, phobium was discovered for use in the creation of power cells many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. The ancient Jedi Knights sometimes used phobium-based power cells in their lightsabers. During the height of the Clone Wars, phobium was used in the construction of the power core of the Death Star. Much of the phobium mined during the construction of the second Death Star came from the planetoid Dor. Note that The Glove of Darth Vader claims that phobium was mined directly from the planet Gargon. (GDV, LOE, GMR9, KOTOR2)

Phobos
This was a common name given to male Duros children. The name Probos came from the term meaning "inspiring". (GCG)

Phoebe
This Hiromi served as an Ensign aboard Hookyr the First's flagship Kuratcha, during Operation Glorious Destiny - the attempted subjugation of the planet Zeltros shortly after the Battle of Endor. After Hirog's efforts resulted in the capture of the royla kitchens on Zeltros, Ensign Phoebe took command of the operation but found no victory in sight for the Hiromi. Her communications back to the Kuratcha suggested that the Hiromi break of their invasion of Zeltros and find another - less populated - world to invade. (MC104, PH)

Phoebos
This being was generally considered the father of modern podracing. A mechanic by trade, Phoebos was credited with being the first to attach repulsor-equipped cockpits to jet engines to create an incredibly fast racing machine. These machines eventually became known as Podracers. (X1, SWK)

Phoebos Memorial Run
This podracing event, which took place in tandem with the Vinta Harvest Classic, was named in honor of the founder of modern podracing, Phoebos. It was held on the planet Malastare, and was considered one of the biggest and most demanding races on the professional circuit because of the incredible variety of terrains it covered. (ETM, LLOW)

Phoebos Run
This was another name for the Phoebos Memorial Run podrace. (LLOW)

Phoebus
A planet. (T15)

Phoenix
This Imperial modified CR90 Corvette was assigned to defend the Habeen research base against any Nharwaak assault, during the months following the Battle of Hoth. Under the command of Commander Mariin, the Phoenix was part of the task force that rescued a group of Habeen scientists, who were working on new hyperdrive technology, after the Nharwaak tried to destroy the research space station. (TIE, TIEP)

Phoenix
This Imperial freigher was captured by Keyan Farlander, shortly before the Battle of Yavin, during a solo mission that was meant to help him come out of the shell he formed after losing several wingmen in battle. (XW, XWP)

Phoenix
The Phoenix family was generally regarded as one of the galaxy's most influential families. (OWS)

Phoenix Hawk-class Light Pinnace
This small transport ship resembled the Firespray-class patrol craft, but actually pre-dated that craft. Designated the S40K, the Phoenix Hawk-class pinnace was one of the first ships designed and built by Kuat Systems Engineering, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. These craft were designed to carry a small group of individuals across large distances of space. The designs goals were admirable: create a transport craft that was affordable by all classes of society, bringing space travel to as many beings as possible. However, in order to accomplish this goal, KSE cut as many corners as possible to keep costs down. Accommodations within the Phoenix Hawk-class were cramped at best, and there were few amenities to be had for refitting the ship. Compounding these problems was the ungainly appearance of the Phoenix Hawk-class pinnace, which resembled an overweight version of the Firespray. It measured 19.2 meters in length, and could accommodate up to four passengers. It required a pilot and co-pilot to operate, and was armed with a pair of heavy blaster cannons and two light ion cannons for defense. (WOTC, SOG, JT)

Phoenix II
This plasma disruptor was produced by the Drever Corporation during the last decades of the Old Republic, as a tool that was marketed to customs agents and law enforcement agencies. The Phoenix II used a beam of plasma energy to alter the molecular structure of a material, essentially breaking its chemical bonds and "disintegrating" it. The Phoenix II was primarliy designed to break through locked doors, allowing access to hidden compartments and rooms where contraband might have been hidden. Soldiers and mercenaries who discovered the Phoenix II began to use it for offensive purposes, prompting Drever to develop the DN Bolt Caster. (LAWS)

Phoenix Plasma Punch
This plasma cutter was one of Drever Corporation's most successful products. It employs a circular stream of plasma energy to cut holes in nearly any material. It was extremely effective and reliable as a tool, but had a limited range of operation. Thus, unlike other plasma cutters, its use as a weapon was minimal. The Phoenix Plasma Punch could have been even more popular, but Drever didn't widely market it. (GG9)

Pholikite
This ore was mined by a colony of Andalese and Morath settlers on the planet Elcorth, before the Yevethan Great Purge wiped out the settlement. (TT)

Ph'Olla
This Bith represented his homeworld in the Senate of the Galactic Alliance, during the height of the war between the Galactic Alliance and The Confederation. Senator Ph'Olla was one of several Bith Senators who witnessed an argument between Mara Jade Skywalker and Jacen Solo, during which Mara threatened Jacen's life if anything were to happen to her son, Ben Skywalker. (LF8)

Pholokite
This igneous stone was one of the most common ores mined in the galaxy. (SWGAL)

Phon
This was a Yuuzhan Vong measure of distance. Although its exact distance was not known, a phon was believed to be a measure of a kilometer or more. (EVR, UF)

Phonane Mimesis Studios
This company specialized in the creation of animatronic puppets and other forms of modeling. They were quite skilled in recreating the human form, and were called upon by Khoss of Knylenn to create the intricate life-support system which housed the long-dead Knylenn elder. (SLS)

Phond
This was one of the many crystals used by the ancient Sith Lords in the construction of a lightsaber. It was believed to have given the wielder the ability to cause more damage to an opponent with each blow from the lightsaber. Phond itself was the unusual amalgamation of rare impurities from the production of alloys, bonded together during a random series of events. (KOTOR)

Phononic Storage Lattice
Developed during the early years of the New Order, this specialized form of information storage system used phononic crystals to store soundwaves that could be interpreted as data. These lattices were much smaller in volume than a standard holobook, and could store huge amounts of data. (DSTR)

Phonstom, Lapema
The fifth candidate on Lando Calrissian's rich wife list, she was a royal Lady on the planet Kabal. (AC)

Phontos
This Ithorian infochant worked from an apartment in the Grill section of Shulell, on Lan Barell. He maintained a tropical garden in his luxurious apartments, and always conducted his business within the apartment. Rumors abounded that he was a fugtive from Imperial justice, but Phontos remained mute on his origins. (PSG)

Phootie
This Pho Ph'eahian and his Kitonak partner were a comedy act which performed during the Clone Wars. They arrived on the planet Haruun Kal on the Halleck, along with Mace Windu, who was traveling to his homeworld to locate Deppa Billaba. (SHPT)

Phorliss
A planet on which Mara Jade posed as a serving girl in a cantina. She had fled to the planet after escaping from Ysanne Isard, shortly after the death of Emperor Palpatine. (DFR)

Phoros
This temperate world was the seventh planet in the Empress Teta System, and was orbiyed by a single moon. (PH)

Phosflea
This small, glowing gnat was native to the planet Kashyyyk. The Wookiees captured quantities of these insects and kept them in mesh containers. If properly cared for, the phosfleas provided a free, non-polluting light source. The phosfleas were usually caught with a special pheromone-based lure. They gave off a pinkish light. The body of the phosflea was elongated, and protected by a hard, chitinous shell that made them exceptionally durable insects. (DK, GMR4)

Phosflea Lantern
This was the term used by the Wookiees to indicate a lighting instrument that used live phosfleas as the source of the light. (GMR4)

Phosovane Salts
This substance was used as a base for creating painkillers, and was created on Attahox. Much of the exportation of phosovane was controlled by the Exalted Torcaigne. (CSWDW)

Phospha
This substance was used by detonation experts. It ignites on impact, and can be used to trigger larger explosives. (CFG)

Phosphor Bug
A small creature native to Belsavis, these nocturnal insects give off bio-luminescent light. (COJ)

Phosphura Belt Nebula
The mysterious space station Zirtran's Anchor suddenly reappeared near this nebula, after disappearing from the Besberra System, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The nebula glowed with an eerie green, and was wracked with electromagnetic storms. (SWJ5)

Phosphura Belt Pirates
This group of highly-organized pirates patrolled the Phosphura Belt Nebula, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Based on the Zirtran's Anchor space station, the Pirates controlled the section formed from the hulk of the Rusted Cutlass II. The gang was originally formed by Arvo Norstrag, who set forth their Buccaneer Code for all future leaders to follow. (SWJ5)

Photo-lipids in Brazened Fatty-Acid Sauce
This was a favored meal of the Ugor race. (SH)

Photon Absorber
This form of starship counter-detection system was developed during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Originally used on the StealthX fighter, photon absorbers reduced or eliminated the ability of most sensor systems to detect the fighter by collecting photon energy and dissipating it at a later time. (LF3)

Photon Darts
A bar game which uses light projectiles thrown at a target. (TSK)

Photon Drive
Developed by Renatta Racing Systems, this propulsion system was used on their incredibly fast needle ships. Powered by the highly-efficient Tobal lens, Renatta's photon drives used packets of light to drive the ship. (TG)

Photon Fizzle
This carbonated beverage was believed to have originated on Tyne's Horky, where Doodnik and his employees maintained a small eatery. The photon fizzle was made with quanta. (OWS)

Photon Spider
This immense arachnid evolved on the planet Varl, after the Hutts destroyed the ecosystem and left it for dead. Measuring up to four meters across, the photon spider was covered by translucent, chitinous armor that was virtually impenetrable. It used each of its twelve eyes to locate prey. The most distinguishing feature of the photon spider was the natural energy it could unleash through its spinneret, which earned it the name photon spider. The arachnid could fire a bolt of energy that could stun a bantha into submission, and it used its legs and its ability to contort its body to aim the spinneret at a target. (TF)

Photonic Beam Generator
The device used by laser weapons to generate coherent packets of destructive energy. (SWSB)

Photonic Cable
This specialized form of data-transfer cable used photonic light to send and receive information. These cables were commonly found in droids, since they allowed to large amounts of information to be passed from system to system at realtime speeds. (DSTR)

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

Photoplate
A palm-key device used to lock prison cells. They can only be opened by a guard whose palmprint had been encoded into the plate. (SME)

Photoreceptor
The device formed the basis of the optical systems used in many droids. Depending on the droid's functions, it could have a single photoreceptor or multiple units. A single photoreceptor provided visual images, but could not convey the perception of depth. A minimum of two photoreceptors was required for depth perception, and they had to be properly calibrated so that the droid brain could correctly interpret an object's spacial location. (SW, TGD)

Phototropic Shield
A shielding system that uses transparent materials such as transparisteel, and turns them into light filters. Phototropic shields absorb or disperse incoming light above a certain brightness, thus allowing the individual using the material to not be blinded by large amounts of incoming light. (E4N, MC2)

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

Phrenbi
This Corellian sport was popular among the Whiphids who lived and worked on the planet Neftali. Each phrenbi match involved four teams, each trying to get a large ball or rock - known as a b'rrsk - into an opponent's goal, known as a g'rile. Loosely translated, the term phrenbi meant "to decapitate." Each team starts with 15-20 players, but the physical nature of the sport meant that casualties were inevitable. Once unable to continue playing, a phrenbi player must leave the field of play and could not return or be replaced. Different formats have teams paired against each other, or players using banthas as mounts and moving the b'rrsk about with long sticks called urran. In the basic sport, a phrenbi match was divided into three 30-minutes periods. If more than fifteen injuries result in dismissed players, the match was called on account of attrition. (BSS)

Phrik
This metallic ally was first created during the Clone Wars, when it was used to create the powerful force pikes used by General Grievous' IG-100 MagnaGuard droids. Phrik was produced when phrikite mineral was refined with tydirium. The alloy was resistant to the energy of a lightsaber, though not as strong as cortosis ore. The first production of phrik began on the planet Fest, but the Sepratist facilty there was eventually overtaken by the Grand Army of the Republic. Years later, use of the phrik alloy was essential in Rom Mohc's Darktrooper program, which mined the component resources from worlds in the Gromas system. Kyle Katarn was able to obtain a piece for analysis by the Alliance, discovering that phrik was extrememly light and durable. (DF, LOE, LEV, SWMW, RCTZ)

Phrikite
This rare mineral was mined almost exclusively on Gromas 16, and was the primary component used to create the phrik alloy. (SWMW)

This Bith served as a Jedi Master during the height of the Clone Wars. Some two year after the Battle of Geonosis, Master Ph'ton was placed in charge of the mission to ensure Alderaan's freedom, after a small fleet of Separatist warships arrived in the Alderaan System. Master Ph'ton was somewhat dismayed when Flynn Kybo stole a Delta-7 interceptor and fled from Alderaan, fearing that the young Padawan had turned to the Dark Side of the Force. Master Ph'ton was unaware that Kybo had actually left the Jedi Order to hunt down General Grievous. (SWGG)

Phu
This planet was located on the inner edge of the Colonies Region, and was the homeworld of the Phuii race. (IWE1)

Phuii
This was a race of tall, duck-billed humanoids which were native to the planet Phu. (IG1, IWE1)

Phulik
This Imperial Navy Captain defected from service to join Prince-Admiral Krennel in the Ciutric Hegemony.

(IR)

Phuna, T. Lund
This man served as the constable and local law officer on Oseon 2795 when Lando Calrissian stopped there, during the early years of the New Order. Phuna was employed by the Administrator Senior of Oseon to keep an eye on the mining operation. He was a chain-smoker, and slightly obese. When Lando started winning more than Phuna cared to lose, he tried to plant a cheater in Lando's clothing, but he was caught by Arun Feb. (LCM)

Phuur Arm
This section of the Yuuzhan Vong worldship Baanu Miir became unbearably cold shortly after the rikyam of the worldship began to die. While the Toohi Sector was filled with noxious fumes, as the rikyam began venting half-digested waste into the area, the Phuur Arm's life support systems failed from the outermost point inward. This displaced a number of Shamed Ones who had been working on the ship. (EVR)

Phwoar
This was a Mandalorian expletive. (RCHC)

Phyll

This small piece of land was part of the Le Yer resort community, located on the planet Abregado-Rae. It was known as a haven for eccentric arists and entertainers. (ND)

Physical Calculus
This was the ancient Elomic art of logical problem solving. A balance table and a set of colored, hemispherical weights was used to determine which of two arguments was more valid. The balance table floats above a small repulsorlift pylon. The use of physical calculus can be modified by weighting the table in specific ways, depending on the individual circumstances of the situation. (TT)

Physical Force
This was the facet of The Force which allowed a Jedi to use the Force to manipulate objects around him. This facet complimented the Living Force, which connected a Jedi Knight to the living beings which surrounded him, and the Unifying Force, which focused on the future and its bearing on a Jedi's place in the present. It was this aspect of the Force which garnered the most attention during the training of most Jedi during the last decades of the Old Republic, a trend that mvoed the Jedi farther and farther away from understanding exactly what the Force was. (E1N, JQ3, PJSB, JQ7)

Phytosus Moss
This form of moss, which was native to the planet Goroth Prime, was considered a delicacy by the Gorothite people. (GSE)

Pi
This was one of the common designations used by the targetting computers installed on Imperial warships to identify a group of Imperial container vessels. Because these typs of ships were mass-manufactured and found throughout the galaxy, 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 containers in a given convoy to a specific group, each with a specific designation. The third group of container vessels discovered by the targetting computer was usually assigned to the Pi group, and the ships within that group were also given a numerical identifier, such as Pi 1. (TIEP)

Piani
This female Ryn served as the communications officer at the Settlement Thirty-two refugee camp on Duro, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She and her family had been transported to Gyndine, shortly before the Vong attacked that world, and Piani's mate had been left behind. She did not know it he survived or not. (BP)

Pibboz
This word from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "warm." (GPB)

Pic
This Dark Jedi was Gorc's "twin", but only in the loosest sense of the word. Where Gorc was a massive humanoid measuring more than two meters in height. Pic was a spindly creature barely over a meter tall. Where Gorc was strong but slow, Pic was quick and agile, prancing around and toying with an opponent until Gorc can step in and deliver a huge blow. Pic was born Picaroon C. Boodle, a Kowakian monkey-lizard who served as Az-Iban's pet and first mate for many years. However, during the height of the New Order, they were quarantined on Eriadu on suspicion that they were carrying Cyborrean rabies. Az-Iban was allowed to go free, but Picaroon C. Boodle was taken into custody and turned over to Project Chubar. Shortly afterward, he was taken by Blackhole as a test subject, and was twisted by the Dark Side of the Force into the being known as Pic. Blackhole's experiments bonded Pic with the Gamorrean boar known as Gorc, melding them into a team that was devastatingly effective. Pic was essentially the "older brother", and looked out for his dimwitting "sibling." They fought as a single being, with Pic's Sith dagger complementing Gorc's thogk-like lightsaber. When not in battle, Pic usually hung from Gorc's shoulders, cackling at anything he found funny. Gorc and Pic were defeated by Kyle Katarn during the search for the Valley of the Jedi, when they tried to apprehend him aboard the Sulon Star. After Katarn blasted Gorc's brain, he bludgeoned Pic's small skull with the cranium of the droid 8t88. After defeating Pic and Gorc, Katarn left their bodies aboard the Sulon Star. However, discussions with Jedi Master Luke Skywalker revealed to Katarn that Pic's lightsaber was actually one of those used by Jedi Master Yoda. The lightsaber was obtained by Pic during the execution of Qu Rahn, who had carried the lightsaber as a memento of his former Master. (DF2, WOTC)

Pica Rim Pipeline

Pica Thundercloud
A green, alcoholic beverage which was sipped, rather than mixed or swilled. (TME)

Picador
This was the term used to describe the caste of wingless Geonosian drones who were employed as prison guards and animal controllers. Picadors were revered in that they maintained the collection of unusual beasts used in gladiator-style executions, such as acklays and nexu. The picador caste was unique in that a Geonosian from any other caste could become a picador if they could prove themselves in the battle arena. (E2N, VD2)

Picador's Spear
This was one of the five traditional Geonosian weapons that made up the petranaki array. The picador's spear was essentially a static pike with a piercing tip, and was usually thrust at an opponent rather than thrown. Often, the picador's spear was equipped with a small power source to create an electric charge, which was useful in stunning an opponent. (GORW)

Picavil
This city, located on Elshandruu Pica, was the site of the planet's primary starport. (BW)

When Jacen Solo launched his plans to capture Fondor, during the height of the war between the Galactic Alliance and The Confederation, Colonel Pichaff was placed in charge of the deployment of forces on the orbital shipyards as well as any ground facilities that needed to be captured. However, Colonel Solo kept the majority of the battle plan to himself, forcing Colonel Pichaff to develop simple plans that could be used in a variety of situations, rather than a concrete plan that could be relayed to the theater commanders. (LF8)

Pickaxe
This mining transport ship, captained by Calquad Domine', remained parked at the Kwilaan starport on Naboo, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, in protest of the closing of many Naboo starports to miners and their ships. The Pickaxe and her crew were members of the Naboo Moon Mining Union at the time, and were angry that the planetary government was favoring refugee ships over local mining concerns. (HNN5)

Pickers
This man was one of the many sargheet farmers who suffered through the economic hard times that befell the planet Dagro, during the height of the Clone Wars. His friend, Kirlan Swens, asked him to be part of a farm "chain" that Obi-Wan Kenobi could use to reach Vale City without being spotted, when the Jedi Knight was on Dagro to investigate the possibility of a Separatist base on the planet, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. He agreed to be one of the farmers who helped Obi-Wan and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, located a destroy the last crawl-carrier before it could eliminate a village. (SWI76, SWI77)

(CWN)

Picutorian, Vensell
A Senex lord for a number of years, he served on the Imperial Senate in Leia Organa's early years as Senator.

(COJ)

Picutorion
This planet was the site of a protracted battle during the Galactic Civil War. During the battle, Bevven and Drost were persuaded to sacrifice Ganig and Stecker because of their suspected sympathy for the Alliance. Mar Barezz was the ISB agent who suggested that the Imperials be allowed to die. (ISB)

Piell, Even
This marble-faced Lannik Jedi Master was a member of the Jedi Council which convened to discuss the fate of young Anakin Skywalker. Master Piell was originally born to a family of farmers who barely eked out a living. His discovery by a Jedi Master allowed him to escape his family's poverty. A fierce warrior on his homeworld, Piell was known among the Council members for his stoic demeanor and rigid code of honor. He lost his left eye in a battle of Lannik against seven of the Chosen One's terrorists, although he managed to defeat them all singlehandedly. He opted not to have a cybernetic implant replace the eye, as a symbol of ultimate survival against any odds.

It was believed that Even Piell was the only senior member of the Jedi Council to survive the end of the Clone Wars and the execution of Order 66. He fled into the undercity of Corsucant after escaping Darth Vader's attack on the Jedi Temple, using the Force with incredible subtlety to avoid detection. For all his efforts, though, Master Piell was eventually discovered to be a renegade Jedi by a group of stormtroopers. He fled into an underground structure that had not been in use for decades, hoping to escape the stormtroopers in the maze of dilapidated walls and chambers.

His flight led him to a dead end, where an ancient lift tube refused to take him up to higher levels. The stormtroopers lobbed a luma grenade at him, in what appeared to be an effort to confuse and blind him. Master Piell called on the Force to counteract the temporary blindness, and sensed that the stormtroopers were getting ready to throw more explosive weapons at him, keeping at bay until they could get within blaster range. However, Master Piell failed to see the stormtroopers' true intentions. Instead of waiting for the explosives to reach the Jedi Master, the stormtroopers fired on them, creating a explosion that engulfed Master Piell and battered his body. He fell to the ground in a broken heap, suffering from innumerable broken bones and internal injuries.

As he died, Master Piell heard the shouts of the stormtroopers as they were cut down by blaster fire, and was surprised to be found by Nick Rostu and several members of the Whiplash rebel group. With his dying breaths, Master Piell exlained his mission to Rostu, hoping that the Korunnai would be able to relay it to Jax Pavan. (E1, IG1, CN1)

Pierce, Tagg
This Alliance Lieutenant was dishonorably discharged from active duty because of gross insubordination. Tagg himself claimed that he simply grew tired of fighting for the Alliance and struck out on his own. Eventually, he formed the Laramus Base Irregulars from a nucleus of anti-Imperial soldiers. He was known for his lack of regard for his line officers, as well as his ingenius but unpredictable sense for military tactics. After the Empire attacked an Alliance base on Laramus, Pierce decided to uproot the Laramus Base Irregulars and move around the galaxy as the need arose, preventing the galactic government from locating them. The unit continued to suffer huge losses in its many victories, and Pierce eventually decided to forge a loose alliance with the fledgling New Republic government, hiring out the Laramus Base Irregulars as a mercenary force that fought several battles against surviving Imperial forces. (GG9, SWJ15, OWS)

This large, fishlike predator was believed to have originated on Drexel II, although it can be found on many aquatic worlds across the galaxy. Pierceskimmers were solitary hunters which may gather in small packs to kill large prey. The average specimen measured some 18 meters in length, although individuals of 20 meters or more have been sighted. The most distinguishing feature of the pierceskimmer was the serrated spike that grew form its snout, which could measure over five meters in length and was used to pierce and cut through its prey. Two rows of dorsal fins rose from its back, and its tail was evolved into a paddle-like lobe instead of a crescent. Pierceskimmers were known to kill their prey and then consume only a few bites worth of flesh, leaving the rest of the carcass for aquatic scavengers. (ANT)

Pieterson, Cris
This young Imperial officer was the tractor beam controller aboard the Chimaera, during the reign of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Some five years after the Battle of Endor, he was at the controls when the Chimaera intercepted Luke Skywalker's X-Wing fighter. Pieterson was able to lock onto the small ship, but lost control of it when Luke managed to stop suddenly and fire a pair of proton torpedoes into the beam. His commanding officer, Ensign Colclazure, explained to Thrawn that Pieterson's training hadn't taken the manevuer into account. To show his displeasure with Colclazure's laxity in training, Thrawn had his bodyguard, Rukh, execute Pieterson on the spot. (HTTE)

Piett, Firmus
This Imperial Naval officer had a spotless, highly-commended career in the Empire, during the years leading up to the onset of the Galactic Civil War.

He gained promotions and respect despite the fact that he was born in the Outer Rim, and not the Core Worlds. His leadership was evident even then, as Axxila's sector was quickly free of illegal activity. He was promoted to the rank of Captain, and was first assigned to work under Admiral Griff abaord the Accuser. When Griff was killed at Yavin and was replaced by Admiral Ozzel, Piett took over as Captain of the Executor.

Pillar fungi, which were named for their huge size and shape, were one of the small number of plants encountered by the Sith that were not predatory or carnivorous. (FJ3)

Pillar of Fire
This was one of two rune-covered obelisks that were presented to apprentices of the Sith academy on Korriban, during the decades leading up to the Great Sith War, as part of their final test. After defeating several terentatek beasts, the apprentices found themselves in a chamber with the The Pillar of Fire, which stood opposite the Pillar of Ice. Sith apprentices had to choose one to help them cross a pool of acid in order to reach their last challenge. (KOTOR)

Pillar Zone
This was an area of the Kishi dsitrict of Coruscant, named for the wondrous pillars that were erected there by the Kishi people. During the height of the Clone Wars, the Pillar Zone was destroyed by the stone mites that were set loose when the Spinner crashed into the Kishi district. (NECH)

Pillars of Doom, The
This was one of four primary obstacles that were encountered on the Cularin Classic swoop racecourse. First held during the years following the Battle of Naboo, the Cularin Classic forced contestants to complete four circuits of the racecourse, passing through the Storm, the Dragon Teeth, the Pillars of Doom, and the Tatooine Whirlwind.

The Pillars of Doom was an area of the course that was studded with huge duracrete tubes. Each tube was filled with tons of water, which was forced out of the top of each tube at random intervals. Each racer had to negotiate through the maze of tubes, while keeping an eye open to avoid the tons of falling water that might crash down on their swoops. (JST3)

Pillbug
An oblong, flexible, segmented insect. (ROM)

Pillel-dice
This was a simple game played in many taverns across the galaxy during the last years of the Old Republic. (BF6)

Pillik
This Omwati youth was among the nine individuals who did not survive Tarkin's forced education, during the height of the New Order. Pillik collapsed under the strain of trying to outdo his fellow Omwati, when his brain shut down and he went into convulsive seizures. Tarkin used Pillik's failure as an example to drive the other youths. Tarkin ordered the four surviving students - including Qwi Xux - to look out the windows of their orbital education facility, then ordered his Victory-class Star Destroyer fire on Pillik's village, utterly destroying it in a matter of seconds. Tarkin then warned the other students that their failure would result in similar results. (JS)

Pillman
Manufacturers of small-scale propulsion units, such as the single-shot engines used in emergency life pods. (SCRE)

Pilot
This green-skinned being, distinguished by the cranial horn the grew from his head, was a noted bounty hunter who plied the blood trade during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Pilot was part of an unlikely group that was put together by Magus to hunt down Talesan Fry, after the young boy discovered their plans to assassinate twenty galactic leaders at a conference on Rondai-2. While on Rondai-2, the bounty hunters found themselves pursued by the Jedi team of Qui-Gon Jinn, Adi Gallia, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Siri Tachi. Pilot and Magus managed to secure Talesan and fled to the roof of the Ulta Center, hoping to reach an airspeeder and escape. However, Magus had plans of his own, and they involved survival at any cost. Just as the Jedi reached the speeder and tried to take Taly from Pilot, Magus gunned the engine of the speeder and took off. Both Pilot and Taly fell from the roof, although Taly was rescued by Siri Tachi. Pilot, unfortunately, fell to his death. (SOJ)

Pilot

Pilotbrain
This was the name used by the Yuuzhan Vong to describe the organism which controlled the operation of one of their coralcraft. Each pilotbrain was linked telepathically to a specific pilot from its "birth", so that the Yuuzhan Vong's mental imprint was a form of key that would restrict access to the coralcraft's controls. The pilotbrain was linked to its pilot via a cognition hood, which relaying information almost simultaneously between pilotbrain and pilot. (T)

Pilot's Guild
This association of starpilots was established to create and uphold a set of laws that governed the use of outerspace as a travel medium. They oversaw most aspects of space travel, including education of new pilots, for which they produced a book from which new pilots learn the basics of space flight. After the institution of the New Order, the Pilot's Guild was disbanded by order of the Emperor himself. Those members who chose to defy Imperial mandate and continue the work of the Guild retreated to Last Nav Station, a deep-space nagivation facility constructed on the outskirts of the Dathomir System. (HSL, SWGAL, SWG2P)

Pilots' Honor Roll
Each of the training facilities maintained by Alliance Starfighter Command kept a Pilots' Honor Roll, which was a kind of tally board that tracked the progress of starfighter pilot trainees. The honor roll was updated regularly, so that trainees could see how well they measured up against each other. (XWP)

Pilot's Proving Ground
This was the official name used by Alliance Starfighter Command training officers to describe the obstacles course that was used to train new starfighter pilots. Referred to as The Maze by the trainees, the proving ground was laid out in space above a planet or near a space station, and included physical obstacles and challenges that tested a pilot's reaction skills and the ability to continually adjust onboard systems to optimize the performance of the fighter. (XWP)

Pilotta Thranta
Once native to the planet Alderaan, the pilotta thranta was made extinct with the destruction of its homeworld. It was the second-largest of the four major subspecies of thranta, rivalled only by the great thranta. Its skin was black on the dorsal side of its body, and white on the underside. The nose of the pilotta was short and pointed, and the rudder-like tail had three lobes instead of the four found on the common and balana thrantas. The tail had two horizontal lobes, with the third lobe rising above them. Trained pilotta thrantas carried passenger transports hung from their bodies. (WSW)

These three worlds were the only habitable worlds in the League's domain. The Pimbrellan League was formed by the followers of Pinacism. (KO)

Pimin, Oolea
This woman worked as a research doctor for Amalgamated Health Systems, on their outpost on Kessel, during the final decades of the Old Republic. She was adamant that the glitterstim spice that was mined on Kessel had beneficial, medicinal uses, and resented the fact that smugglers regularly stole lots of the spice for use as a recreational drug. After she learned that several criminal organzations had been sending lots of raw glitterstim through her facility for processing, she began programming her droids to either steal it or destroy it before it reached its destination. (GORW)

Pin Money
This slang term was used by bounty hunters to identify any small-time criminal who had engaged in illicit activities for many years, but only commanded only a small bounty. In general, the more professional bounty hunters stayed away from these bounties, unless they were strapped for credits. (GG9, GG10)

Pina, Awdrysta
This Jedi Master, noted as a practitioner of the Jar'Kai style of fighting, often fought with the more traditional Jedi Katana, rather than a lightsaber. Master Pina was forced to use the techniques of morichro in order to defeat Arden Lyn, during the battle of the First Great Schism. However, Master Pina was mortally wounded during the struggle, when Arden Lyn used a Kashi Mer talisman against him. He died as Lyn expired, although her connection to the Dark Side of the Force allowed her to survive across many millennia. (GMR5, WOTC)

Pinacism
This belief was brought to the galactic forefront by the founders of the Pimbrellan League. Pinacists claim that those beings who sit back and watch the events of the galaxy unfold around them will eventually emerge to pick up the pieces and take control of the galaxy. The Pinacists were one of the few groups in the Kathol Outback who took an interest in what was happening outside the Marcol Void and the Kathol Rift, and arranged with a group on Gandle Ott to have a courier droid dispatched once a week with the latest news. The Pinacists believe that a great Event will take place, that will signal them to return to the galaxy and begin their work. Many believed that the Galactic Civil War was this Event, but most leaders believed it was just a minor blip. (KO)

Pincer Maneuver
An evasive maneuver in which two ships, being pursued by a third, split up and fly in opposite directions around a larger cover object, often a support ship. The pursuing third ship, momentarily without a target, was then forced to pick between the two targets. The target that was not followed then swings around and destroys the pursuer. (HTTE)

Pincer Rap

Pinchers
This Cavrilhu Pirate was stationed on Wistril, and made a regular supply delivery run to the Kauron System base. Luke Skywalker incapacitated him in order to assume the identity of Mensio and infiltrate the Kauron asteroid base. Pinchers used a highly-modified Y60 cargo hauler to make the run. Luke used a Jedi healing trance to knock Pinchers out, then pulled details on the cavrilhu base from his mind in order to make his entrance much simpler. (SOP)

Pinett
This moon, located in the Elrood Sector of the galaxy, was located near several prominent spice routes which connected the Mid and Outer Rim Territories. Two spaceports services all sorts of traffic to Pinett during the height of the Galactic Civil War. When two factions - the Jon-Tow Economic Development Group and the Corsignis Property Alliance - blockaded the moon in an effort to force each other out of business, the general population of Pinett were forced to exist with minimal food and medical resources. The efforts of the Pinett Freedom Force proved only slightly effective. (WOA25)

Pinett Freedom Force
This protest group, formed by Daetan Taakses, tried to force both the Corsignis Property Alliance and the Jon-Tow Economic Development Group to call off their blockades of the moon Pinett before they caused serious economic damage. Founded when Taakses staged a hunger strike and went to the media with it, the Pinett Freedom Force began marching on the landing fields of both Oscum and Beliarr, hoping to block the ships of either faction from landing. The work of the Pinett Freedom Force was instrumental in getting the two sides to sit down together and work out a plan to solve their problems, allowing the blockade to be dismantled and shipping to return to the moon's surface. (WOA25)

Pingil
An obscure language. (AIR)

Pinging
This was the term used by Kal Skirata and other military leaders of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe the use of a rifle sighting scope in surveillance activities.

Pink Lettuce
This unique variety of leafy vegetable was named for its unusual color. This color made it a popular addition to many sandwiches at diners throughout the galaxy. (OWS)

Pink Lizard Thunderbolt
This alcoholic concoction was similar to an Elshandruu Pica Thundercloud, and was named for the being who created it. The reptilian being, who never revealed its species or sex, was an infrequent patron of Margath's at Elshandruu Pica. Those beings who first tested the drink could not remember much afterward, and often had trouble focusing their eyes. Thus, the drink's creator was never fully described in detail. Those beings who tried the drink likened it to the Elshandruu Pica Thudercloud, claiming that it had an aftertaste that was similar to the mud that got into your mouth after you fell over. (GG9, OWS)

Pinnacle Base
This was the site of a former Alliance base, located on the fifth moon of Da Soocha. The base was reused in the wake of the so-called Imperial Civil War, when several Imperial Warlords tried to take control of Coruscant. This forced the New Republic to abandon Coruscant, and its leaders chose Pinnacle Base as their initial base of operations. Pinnacle Base was destroyed when the resurrected Emperor Palpatine fired his Galaxy Gun at the moon. (DE1, NECH)

Pinnix, Blizz
This retired speederbike racer owned and operated The Pits, a bar and restaurant complex which catered to the swoop racers and gangs on the planet Stend VI. A veteran of over forty years of racing, Pinnix was an enigma because he always wore a full-face helmet, and no one had ever seen his face. He cast an imposing figure when he made his way through the bar, always dressed in impressive racing armor. In his wake follows speculation on his age, sex, and species, although most agree that Blizz was a male human. Whenever he raced the private swoop course on the grounds of The Pits, he rode his ebony swoop, the Black Raptor. (WSV, BSS)

Pinnoc
This species of tree was found in the subarctic forests of the planet Troos. (COG)

Pinook Fighter
This was a model of small, versatile starfighter. (XWA)

Pinot, Ledd
This man was one of the prison guards known as the Helmet Squad, working at the Oovo IV prison facility during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Pinot was part of a large internal smuggling operation that ensured the inmates had all manner of articles that were otherwise prohibited at many prison facilities. Compounding this fact, Pinot was skimming profits from the smuggling operations, fueling his own illicit desires. This was discovered by several prisoners who were eventually released from Oovo IV, and related to several prominent Hutt crimelords. This led to a bounty being placed on Pinot's head, which Jango Fett claimed during his "rescue" of Bendix Fust. (BH)

Pinurquian
This was the name of a race of porcine beings. (SWI89)

Pioneer
This Venator-class warship was originally constructed for the Galactic Republic at the Allanteen VI shipyards. The Pioneer and her sister ships, the Resolute and the Dauntless, were supposed to be deployed to the Mid Rim, but were assigned to Anakin Skywalker's task force during the height of the Clone Wars. During this time, the crew of the Pioneer were led by Commander Isibray. (CWWS)

Pip
This battled P2-series droid worked with Baffle to overthrow the Salliche Ag Corporation's ban on droids. Pip later helped Han Solo locate Droma, after the Ryn was arrested for conspiracy in the forging of documents used by Tall and Short. (JE)

PIP/2
This was the designation of a series of systems control droids produced by Genetech Corporation during the early years of the New Republic. The PIP/2 was developed to replace organic workers at control boards and computer monitoring stations. It was a spindly droid with telescopiing legs, allowing it to be adapted to fit in an number of configurations. Its small head contained a collection of visual sesnors and interface jacks, and its eight articulated arms were given a wide range of motion. Unfortunately for Genetech, the PIP/2 was a commercial failure. Promoted as virtually glitch-proof, the PIP/2 was discovered to be excellent at single-threaded tasks, but quickly ran out of processing power when faced with excessive inputs. Genetech responded by upgrading as many PIP/2s as it could, and the upgrades were solid in their execution. However, public perception had soured to the PIP/2, and the line was discontinued. (EGD)

Pipe, The
This was the more common name for the Galactic City SpeedPipe. (LF9)

Pipefighter
This was the term used by the New Republic to describe the unusual fighters developed under Operation Starlancer. Each pipefighter was roughly triangular in shape, made up from tubular sections cobbled together on Borleias. Each pipefighter was loaded with sensors, and was designed to attain a specific, mathematical point in orbit around Borleias in order to gather intelligence. At each end of the tubes on the pipefighter was a laser emitter, which resembled a weapon in form. However, instead of sending out short, coherent bursts of energy, these emitters sent out a meter-thick beam of continuous red light. In total, four pipefighters were built, and worked in unison to create an incredible light show. The beams eventually converged to a single beam emitted by Starlancer Prime, which Starlancer scientists calculated to reach Coruscant. It was sufficiently weak to not cause much damage, but it was enough to convince the Yuuzhan Vong othat the pipefighter was a superweapon. In reality, the beam which reached Coruscant was fired from a Star Destroyer hidden at the edge of the Coruscant System. Later, Danni Quee allowed Tam Elgrin to steal information about Starlancer, which showed the lambent crystals were being grown in immense sizes to serve as focusing crystals for the pipefighters. This forced the Warmaster Tsavong Lah to dedicate a large fleet to destroying the Republic's base on Borleias, while allowing the remnants of the New Republic's Advisory Council a chance to regroup elsewhere. (EL1, EL2)

Piracy Scouring
This was the term used to describe the military action which was sponsored by Delephran, to eliminate the pirates who were plaguing the Vexta Asteroid Belt during the last years of the Old Republic. The effort attracted the attention of the newly-formed Imperial war machine, which eventually usurped control of the Delephran militia. (SWJ3)

Piran, Talas
This hulking Locan was a slave on Hintivan II for many years, using only vibro-axes to fell the huge trees which grew on the planet. At some point, he managed to acquire enough credits to buy his own freedom. However, instead of setting out on his own, Talas Piran sold his abilities and experience with slaves to the Mytaranor Slaving Council. His knowledge of controlling slaves earned him several promotions, until he found himself as the chief slavemaster on the Council. His physical prowess earned him even more respect, and soon was named the leader of the Council. In order to heighten his position, Talas Piran often wielded the same vibro-axe he used on Hintivan II, but he was smart enough to realize that a dead or injured slave worth considerably less than a perfect specimen. (AIR)

Piranha Beetle
A species of blue, predatory insects native to Yavin 4, piranha beetles lived in a hive which was governed by a queen. Food was captured and returned to the hive at the direction of the queen, and was later distributed to the entire population of the hive. Piranha beetles were extremely efficient hunters, and could carve up their prey into manageable pieces with their sharp mandibles. Swarms of piranha beetles patrolled the jungles of Yavin 4, constantly searching for unsuspecting prey. Note that The Wildlife of Star Wars indicates that piranha beetles were a purple-red color. (COTF, EGA, WSW)

Pirate Gull
This species of ocean-going bird was native to the planet Vjun, and was named for the fact that it was usually found in flocks trailing the pirate ships that patrolled the Bay of Tears. (YDR)

Pirate Hunter
This was the term used to describe the revised and updated version of the Victory-class Star Destroyer that was employed by the Galactic Alliance to hunt down and defeat the pirates and smugglers that began causing problems after the Qoribu Crisis. These vessels were modified to accept a tractor beam projector that was originally designed to move asteroids, allowing them to lock onto larger targets and immobilize them. (DN2)

Each of the pirate-nabber Star Destroyers was refitted to accommodate the placement of several heavy-duty tractor beam generators, which allowed any one ship to snare the fast-moving pirate vessels that terrorized the spacelanes. (DN3)

Pirate's Gold
This area of space near the planet Tatooine was controlled by the Bestine Pirates, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Pirtonna
This man worked as an enforcer for the Birtraub Brothers Storage and Reclamation Center on Crovna, during the height of the New Order. It was Pirtonna who intercepted Mara Jade, when she arrived at the facility during her investigation into several stolen artworks that were found in the collection of Moff Glovstoak. Pirtonna escorted her to the owner's office, then tried to pull a blaster on her to keep her in line. Mara wanted nothing to do with such small-time antics, and quickly disarmed him before he could do any damage. (A)

Piru, Chase
This young woman was one of the handful of Jedi Masters who lived and worked at the Jedi training facility on Bogden Three, during the final years of the Old Republic. Chase Piru was known for her skills as a cook, and often oversaw the preparation of the meals at the facility. When Jedi Masters K'Kruhk and Sian Jeisel arrived on Bogden Three after leaving Saleucami, they brought with them their clone troopers. Thus, when the command was issued to execute Order 66, the clones turned on the assembled Jedi and opened fire. Master Du Mahn was killed in the opening attack, and Master Jeisel was forced to sacrifice her own life to ensure that Piru and Master K'Kruhk were able to escape with the younglings. They crash-landed on a grass-covered moon that provided them with sustenance and a place to hide, and Piru put her skills as a cook to work keeping them well-fed and nourished.

After several months of isolation, Master Piru and her students were surprised and excited when another ship landed on the moon. Master K'Kruhk tried to communicate with her and warn her that the ship might not be friendly, but his communication was garbled, and Piru was unable to comprehend his entire message. Thus, Master Piru and her younglings were captured by the criminal Gotal known as Lumbra, who realized that they were Jedi, and hoped to turn them in for the bounty on their heads. When Master Piru tried to intervene, she was shot and left for dead, but Master K'Kruhk managed to heal the blaster wound. They then put a plan in motion to rescue the children, during which Master K'Kruhk killed Lumbra and his entire band of thugs. Knowing that this sudden surge of anger had scared the children, Master K'kruhk volunteered to help Master Piru find a new location to live, before he set off on his own to contemplate his actions.

Pisquatch's Place
This small cantina was located in the spaceport city of Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine. The Place, as it was known to its regular patrons, was situated on Outer Kerner Way, just down from Chalmun's Cantina. Their location, and the fact that neither established allowed droids inside, were the only things the two cantinas had in common. Pisquatch's Place was little more than a one-room facility, and lacked a sophisticated brew center. It offered its patrons - hotshot pilots who had never flown beyond the Tatoo System - five simple drink choices, and there was never any live music or entertainment. This lack of amenities suited many of the regulars just fine, since they were able to avoid the brawls and arguments that often left patrons at Chalmun's Cantina injured or dead. A lone piece of artwork graced the interior walls of The Place, a garish portrait of Noosh Feteel. Unfortunately, the Trandoshan bounty hunter Bossk destroyed the portrait while trying to apprehend Jaxson and Luke Skywalker, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (RF3)

This section of the Game Chambers of Questal was a vast, deep cylinder, across which span a multitude of thin platforms at varying heights. The objective of the chamber was to make it across one of the platforms. At the bottom of the cylinder were several metal spikes, pointing straight up. To make matters worse, an intense wind whistles through the cylinder, buffeting anyone attempting to walk across. (GCQ)

Pit Worm

Pit, The
This area of scattered asteroids was located at the end of the Kessel Run. Although the Kessel Run was more dangerous, more ships were lost in the Pit because many pilots breathe a sigh of relief that they've passed beyond the Maw. They let their reflexes down just when they enter the asteroids. The asteroid field was strewn through the green, wispy arm of a nebula, much like Smuggler's Run. (THG, RD)

Pit, The
This large junkyard was located on the outskirts of Coronet's Blue Sector, on the planet Corellia. It was here that many crimelords eliminated any troublesome individuals, since bodies were rarely ever found beneath the junk. It was said that there were more "organic drop-offs" at The Pit than there were actually deliveries of garbage. (CCW)

Pit, The
This bar and restaurant, located in the main concourse of Elrood Starport, was an anomaly among spacer establishments in that it had a relaxed, professional atmosphere. (PG3)

Pit, The
This was the codename given to the secret location of the Hidden Beks' headquarters on the planet Taris, during the era of the Mandalorian Wars. When the Mandalorians invaded Taris, the Hidden Beks were forced to retreat to The Pit and regroup. (KOR7)

Pit, The
This was the name of an abandoned, offshoot tunnel located within the Spice Mines of Kessel. It was here that particularly recalcitrant prisoners were taken for solitary confinement. The Pit was formed beneath the location of one of Kessel's many atmospheric processing plants. The plant would dig up rocks and extract oxygen from them, and then pump any extracted oxygen into the atmosphere. The lees that were left over were disposed of in a large pile near the plant. As the atmosphere plant worked, the hole beneath it got larger and larger, requiring that the plants be moved periodically. The Pit was formed when one plant was left in one place for too long, and the hole beneath it eventually opened into a natural cave system. (PH, FJ1)

Pitaaani, Gilag
This male Nuknog was a noted podracer, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Pitaaani and his crew were sponsored by Chenik Kruun. (RF1)

Pitann
This harsh, desert world was one of the member worlds of the Kathol Republic. Much of the planet's economy was based on the mining operations which cover the landscape, and the settlers of Pitann were often suspicious of outsiders. Pitann had a short day, which lasted only 12 standard hours. However, its year consumes 841 local days. (KO)

Pitareeze, Baron
Nak's grandfather, the Baron Pitareeze was a native of Kalarba. He designed the Pitareeze Cruiser, but his association with Olag Greck meant that the Cruiser would never be built. Greck stole the plans and tried to sell the ship as his own, and when it failed, he blamed it on the Baron. Since then, the Baron had tried to recover his pride and the rights to the cruiser. (DRO)

Pitareeze, Jarth
Nak's father, and partner with his wife, Meg, in a growing travel guide business on Kalarba. When C-3PO and R2-D2 were jettisoned by IG-88 and land in a pond near their picnic, Jarth and Meg decide to hire the droids as helpers. (DRO)

Pitareeze, Meg
Nak's mother, and partner with her husband, Jarth, in a growing travel guide business on Kalarba. When C-3PO and R2-D2 were jettisoned by IG-88 and land in a pond near their picnic, Jarth and Meg decide to hire the droids as helpers. Meg was the daughter of the Baron Pitareeze. (DRO)

Pitareeze, Nak
A young boy on Kalarba, Nak was the grandson of his town's baron. He was fairly adept at robotics, and when his grandfather becomes the owner of C-3PO and R2-D2, he had many adventures with them. He helped put Vuldo in jail for building illegal blasters by reviving a huge maintenance droid and destroying Vuldo's secret workshop. (DRO)

Pitareeze Cruiser
A sleek, light cruiser designed by the Baron Pitareeze. The ship was never built, though, for the Baron's partner, Olag Greck, stole the plans for it. He then tried to sell a shoddy version of it as his own. When the ship failed, he blamed the failure on the Baron. This cruiser was going to be the first to use the MT-5 hyperdrive unit. (DRO)

This planet was the homeworld of the Piton race. (CT)

Piton
This race of humanoids was native to a planet of the same name. They were as thin as reeds, hairless, and had pale, translucent skin and white eyes. They spent their entire lives underground, which caused much of their natural pigment to be genetically bred out. (CT)

Piton, Booton
This heavy-set woman lived with her friend, Nardi Shodu, in the undercity of Coruscant during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. (OWS, SWI75)

Pits, The
This swoopchasing course was developed by Blizz Pinnix, and was submitted to the governing body as a site for qualifying races during the height of the New Order. (BSS)

Pits, The
This cantina was located on the planet Stend VI. There were two entrances to The Pits: via The Hive, and walking in through the door. Over time, as swoop gangs took hold of Stend VI's culture, those who walked into The Pits were considered "ants," something to be stepped on and swiped away. The main building was low to the ground, and housed the entertainment areas. The Hive, a honeycombed column, rose above the bar itself, providing places to park swoops and other vehicles. The lowest sections housed the bar and restuarants themselves, as well a repair facilities. Owned and operated by Blizz Pinnix, there was a section of The Pits dedicated to the trophies and awards he had won over his forty-year career. Adjacent to The Pits were two facilities: Kuda's Compound, which provided sales and service for repulsorlift vehicles; and the Raptor Run, which was a swoopracing course designed by Pinnix himself. (HAS, WSV)

Pitta, Danetta
One of the Imperial Grand Admirals still in power after the death of Emperor Palpatine, Pitta was born to a family which had a number of non-human ancestors. He knew of a Borneck and an Etti in his bloodline, but he kept this fact a secret as he rose to power. He committed himself to the protection of the ideals of Human High Culture, and constantly scrutinized the pedigrees of the officers who served him. Pitta's main contribution to the Imperial war effort was the acquisition of slave labor, and he was believed to have depopulated entire planets of aline beings in order to satisfy the Empire's need for cheap labor. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Pitta went rogue, fleeing his post aboard the flagship Impenetrable and traveling to the Corellian System, where he bribed the Corellian diktat into allowing him to serve as the protector of the Corellian Sector. He commandeered a torpedo sphere as his flagship, but was later killed by Grand Admiral Grunger during the Battle of Tralus. (ECH, SWI66, OWS)

Pitten
This was a species of small, cute creature that was often kept as a pet. (OWS)

Pittin
This was a species of small, domesticated creatures used as pets. The original homeworld of these creatures had been lost in the millennia since they were first tamed. They were used primarily as pest-catching predators, especially on those planets where droid pest-removal units were impractical. (COJ, SWJ14)

Pius Dea Crusades
This was a term used to describe the quasi-religious missions that occurred during the Pius Dea Period, between -12,000 and -11,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. After the Galactic Republic voted Contispex as the Supreme Chancellor, Contispex and his successors started a galaxy-wide campaign to carry out a series of theocratic missions into The Slice. Although outwardly regarded as religious actions, these missions were supposed to reduce or eliminate various groups of aliens who resisted membership in the Republic. The resulting political and emotional tension created a rift between the Core Worlds and the Rimward planets, as well as driving a wedge between the human and non-human races of the galaxy. (OWS)

Pius Dea Period
This era of the Old Republic occurred between 12,000 and 11,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, when the Republic voted Contispex as the Supreme Chancellor. Contispex and his successors were part of a theocratic sect, and promoted a series of missions into The Slice that were to reduce or eliminate various groups of aliens who resisted membership in the Republic. The resulting political and emotional tension created a rift between the Core Worlds and the Rimward planets, as well as driving a wedge between the human and non-human races of the galaxy. (NECH)

Pivar Spinner
This component of a holoprojector consists of an optical lense which was rotated at high speeds to keep the focused image from becoming distorted. (CFG)

Pix
This young girl was the Padawan learner of Jedi master Tyr, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Before she could be tested for elevation to the rank of Jedi Knight, Pix found herself on Thustra with Master Tyr, trying to peacefully force the Sephi to lay down their weapons. The Sephi wanted no part of the Old Republic, and launched wave after wave of suicide attacks on the Jedi and their clone troopers reinforcements. After a suicide bomber killed Master Tyr and Master Tyffix, Pix and her fellow Padawan Cal were stranded on Thustra. She was able to make a call for help to Coruscant, which was answered by Jedi Master Yoda. Yoda feared that the additional troops that accompanied him would ensure the Sephi would side with the Separatists, so he took Cal with him to discuss the situation with King Alaric. Pix was left in command of the clone troopers under Commander Clutch, with orders not to do anything until Yoda returned. She remained true to these orders until she was approached by Navi, the Senator of Thustra. Navi, working for his own goals, told Pix that Alaric had executed both Yoda and Cal, and then provided her with the coordinates of Alaric's palace. She acted as she believed any Jedi would have in the face of Yoda's death, launching an all0-out assault on Alaric's palace. Although the attack was successful, it simply was part of Navi's plot to discredit the Jedi and the Republic. She survived, however, and accompanied Yoda back to Coruscant to expose Navi as a traitor to his people. (J5)

Pixelito
This city was located on the eastern continent of the planet Malastare, and was the home of a contingent of Dugs. Like many cities on Malastare, the Dug population was forced out by the growing Gran population. (E1N, IG1, NEGC)

Pixelito Art Guild
This was the largest and most prosperous of the artists' guilds that were formed on the planet Malastare during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. As such, the Pixelito Art Guild was the most vehement opponent of the Anti-Artist Federation, and the Guild often placed bounties on the heads of the Federation's leaders to try and put an end to their attacks. (BH)

Pixelito Grand Council
This was the primary governing body of the city of Pixelito, on the planet Malastare, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (BH)

Pixelito Puppeteers Union
This was one of the many artistic guilds that were formed on the planet Malastare during the last decades of the Old Republic. The guild catered to the continued development and promotion of puppeteers and their acts. (BH)

Pixolga
This Dug was a member of the Anti-Artist Federation on the planet Malastare, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. A bounty was placed on his head by the Pixelito Art Guild in connection with the "malicious and unfounded" accusation that the painted pawprints of domesticated nexu were not art. This series of accusations ended up costing several artists and the Guild a large sum of credits, which they hoped to take out of his hide. Jango Fett claimed the bounty during a mission to Malastare to meet with Sebolto, during his search for the Bando Gora cult. (BH)

Piyanzi
This province of the planet Ansion was known as the meeting place for many Alwari merchants. An annual trade fair was in Piyanzi, where everything from foodstuffs to weaponry could be bought and sold. (APS)

This small corporation produced a line of podracers, including the Stinger 627 S, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (RAC)

Pizkoss
This planet was located in the Core Worlds. (DT2)

Pizztov
This man was something of a loan shark and a fence in the city of Bidamount. Pizztov once managed to acquire several holograms of early events from Boba Fett's life, including a holo which supposedly portrayed Fett with Sintas and their child, and threatened to auction them off to the highest bidder at the Eport facility if Fett didn't meet his demands. He left a series of clues as to his whereabouts, and was eventually confronted at Bidamount by both Boba Fett and Sintas. Using any bystanders he could to shield himself, Pizztov tried to escape but was eventually shot down and killed by Fett. (T7)

PK-3
This PK-series worker droid was employed at a starship refueling staion during the final years of the Old Republic. (NEGD)

This planet was the site of an Alliance base, until the Empire managed to infiltrate it using an SB-20 espionage droid. The base was destroyed shortly afterward. (GFT)

Pkneb
This dessert delicacy was often served caramelized. (TME)

PK-series Droid
This series of small, humanoid droids was produced by Cybot Galactica to perform much of the manual labor required by the organic beings of the galaxy to keep their lives in order. The PK-series was little more than a series of crude labor droids, priced to be affordable yet built to last. The head of the PK-series was little more than a sutbby cone that held its single photoreceptor, and was mounted on a jointed neck that could be raised or lowered as needed. Two small manipulators were mounted on the arms, and a pair of stubby legs helped the PK-series move around. These droids were programmed to interact with organic beings as well as other droids, which often meant that a PK-series unit was bullied by large droids. (IG1, OWS, NEGD)

PL/1G
This was the designation of BlasTech's grenade-launching adapter, produced for use on projectile weapons like the CSPL-12. (ISB)

PL-1
This designation was created for a specialized X-Wing part, shortly after the Battle of Endor. When Rogue Squadron resigned its commission to battle Ysanne Isard at Thyferra, the New Republic was unable to directly supply them with X-Wings. However, they managed to sell off a number of X-Wings as broken surplus because they lacked PL-1s. This was a bookeepping ruse, though, because PL-1 actually referred to the pilot of the craft. (BW)

PL-37
This Trade Federation protocol droid was assigned to Lord Toat on the planet Maramere, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. PL-37 was destroyed by Sol Sixxa and his pirates, and the droid's dismembered body sank to the bottom of the ocean. The head was recovered some months later by the Feeorin mercenary Nym, and it was made to talk by the Bith Jinkins. PL-37 revealed only the barest hint of the experimental cloaking device being developed on Maramere before burning out completely. (CRBN)

PL-8 Piercer
This was the name of the medium concussion missile manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation during the height of the New Order. (LOE)

Plaan
This Weequay served as the chief of security at the Esau's Ridge base on Tholatin, during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. His group of smugglers found that they could make a living by charging refugees of Yuuzhan Vong attacks for transport to other worlds, only to show up shortly after the Yuuzhan Vong attacked again. Plaan later found work as the mate aboard the Sweet Surprise, and he used his position to sotre a cargo of four voxyn in the ship's holds. The plan was to deliver the beasts to Coruscant, but the ship was destroyed before it could land. (JE, SBS, NJOSB)

Plaarvin, Nunk "No-Neck"
This small-time criminal made his tiny fortune on the moon Metellos 3, during the years following the Great Sith War. He earned the nickname "No-Neck" because he preferred to risk the necks of other beings, especially his Chev slaves, rather than put himself in danger. Nunk and his crew of Chev slaves operated the Metellos Exchange for the Raff Syndicate, reaping credits from the auction of various rights to uncharted star systems. During the final stages of the Mandalorian Wars, Nunk was forced to put emergency plans into action when Captain Brackel arrived on Metellos 3, demanding that the natives of Italbos be given a chance to bid for control of their homeworld. Cipiter, the Chev who was the outward face of the Metellos Exchange, was forced to refund the credits paid to the original bidders, forcing Nunk to clean up the situation before reporting anything to his employers, the Raff Syndicate. While Cipiter had been taken in, Nunk believed that the appearance of Professor Gryphomarn had something to do with that of Captain Brackel. He became more convinced when he recognized "Gryphomarn" as being Marn Hierogryph, and he ordered his security guards to capture them. Although Jarael, who was posing as Captain Brackel was captured along with Rohlan Dyre, who was posing as a native of Italbos, Marn Hierogryph managed to escape with the help of Zayne Carrick. After leaving Jarael and Rohlan in a converted solar observatory to be fried by the rising sun, Plaarvin thought that his troubles were over. However, a Trandoshan representative from the Raff Syndicate arrived shortly afterward, demanding to know why Plaarvin and his Chevs were skimming profits from the Metellos Exchange. Hierogryph accompanied the Trandoshan, and explained that his earlier ruse was part of a Raff Syndicate plan to expose Plaarvin's operations. Plaarvin was forced to accept the Trandoshan's order to accompany him back to the Raff Syndicate's base on Jebble, and he left Cipiter in charge of the exchange. However, unknown to Plaarvin, the Trandoshan was actually Slyssk, who was working with Hierogryph, and that Jebble had been bombarded during the fighting of the Mandalorian Wars. (KORH, KOR11)

Place of Kastays
This ancient temple, located in the jungles of the planet Aaris III, was built to hold the information gathered by Kastays to document the history of the ancient Aaris civilization. It was here that Kastays tried to withhold the power of the Plaque of Victory, but Kastays and his team were unable to prevent the civil war which tore apart the ancient Aaris. The temple eventually decayed, but was later discovered by Doctor Lancer Brunou and Imperial research team MS-133. They also found the Plaque of Victory, but were unable to decipher the various pictographs which adorned the walls of the temple. (DARK)

Plaekite
This material was used in the construction of high-strength containers and vessels, including the casings of comlinks. (DMSH)

Plaeryin Bol
This organic innovation was created by the Yuuzhan Vong. The bol itself was a small, sphere-shaped creature that strongly resembled the normal Yuuzhan Vong eyeball. In place of a pupil, it had a mouth which could spit a venomous glob. Whenever a Yuuzhan Vong removed an eye as a show of devotion, it was often replaced with a plaeryin bol. The mouth could be agitated to spit its venom with a twitch of an eyelid. (VP)

Plague Wasp
This deadly insect was native to the planet Delphon. (MCI1)

Plagueis, Darth
This Muun was the Sith Lord who trained Darth Sidious in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force. Chancellor Palpatine related the story of Darth Plagueis to Anakin Skywalker, shortly after the First Battle of Coruscant. According to Palpatine, Darth Plagueis had the ability to influence the actions of the midi-chlorians, and could manipulate them in such a way as to keep those beings closest to him from dying. It was even said that Plagueis had the ability to create life, and that he and Sidious were working on a plan to create a child that would be conceived by the Force.

As a Master, Plagueis kept constant watch over his apprentice, and reinforced his position of power with a simple set of rules: Tell me what you regard as your greatest strength, so I will know how best to undermine you; tell me of your greatest fear, so I will know which I must force you to face; tell me what you cherish most, so I will know what to take from you; and tell me what you crave, so that I might deny you. Despite these simple rules, Plagueis was unaware that Sidious had taken his own apprentice, a Zabrak who would become Darth Maul.

As he continued to train Sidious, Plagueis continued work on the development of a child conceived by the Force, and Sidious came to realize that any such child would replace him as Plagueis' apprentice. Ultimately, however, Plagueis became blinded by the pursuit of power, and was killed in his sleep by his apprentice, Sidious. As Palpatine later retold the story, which he referred as a legend called The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise, it was ironic that Plagueis had the power to save others from death, but not himself. The story of Darth Plagueis was one of the primary reasons it was believed that Anakin chose to ally himself with Palpatine, since the young Jedi Knight was having visions of the death of his wife, Padme' Amidala.

It was later theorized that it had been Plagueis who caused Anakin to be brought to life, since Shmi Skywalker was known to have never married, nor had conjugal relations with a man before Anakin's birth. It was also ironic that Anakin Skywalker was considered by many to have been the result of Plagueis' experiments, and came to be Sidious' own apprentice, Darth Vader. (LEV, IS3, E3N, SWDB, RDV, NECH, OWS)

Plah
This was a lifeless moon orbiting Tibrin. (GG4)

Plain Wrapper
This was the term used by many military personnel to describe a traffic interdiction vessel, or TIV, during the height of the Clone Wars. The name came from the fact that many of these vessels were stolen or appropriated civilian or corporate vessels that were purposely left in their original state, especially on the exterior. This allowed the pilot of the TIV to approach an enemy ship with minimal interference, giving the pilot the opportunity to reach the enemy vessel and board it. (RCTZ)

Plains Bol

Plako
This Chikarri was a mechanic on this homeworld of Plagen, and talked with a pronounced lisp.He was also an inventor, and discovered a way to modify an ore locating sensor to search for gemstones. He placed this ore locator on his ship, the Tasty Acorn, and set out to find the legendary Fool's Gold. He found the ship, but the Tasty Acorn suffered amalfunction and had to be docked for repairs. Plako then hired a group of adventures to locate the ship for him. The Chikarri split the profits from the sale of the Fool's Gold's precious cargo equally with the adventurers, after they all managed to escape from Bruce Mercy and his pirates. (TSK)

Plan
This common Zabrak surname meant "scout". (GCG)

Plan Bastion
This was the codename for Jacen Solo's plans to esnure the safety and security of his flagship, the Anakin Solo, in the event that a full-scale assault by the Jedi Order was launched against the ship. Plan Bastion focused on containing and defeating a group of Jedi Knights that had infiltrated the Star Destroyer, and included shifting security personnel to delay the enemy's advance, while giving Jacen a chance to ready his own defenses. In addition to living security guards, Jacen also used YVH combat droids to block the advance of a Jedi task force. The idea behind this plan was to reduce the number of Jedi who planned to confront and attack him, rather than eliminating them all, in order to reduce the number who were successful in reaching his location.

Jacen was forced to initiate Plan Bastion during his mission to capture Centerpoint Station. (LF7)

Planchet, Jez
This man was serving as a Lieutenant in the Alliance military. During the year leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Lieutenant Planchet was working undercover on the planet Malastare, hoping to gather information about the Empire's presence on the planet. Unfortunately, he was captured by Imperial forces and held for interrogation, and because his mission was so secret, no rescue mission was ever sent to Malastare when he did not immediately check in. The Imperials then sent false communications from Planchet while they interrogated him, using a variety of techniques to break his will and force him to reveal everything he knew abou the Alliance and its base of operations on the fourth moon of Yavin. This information was later passed on to the assassin known as X-7, who adopted the alias S'ree Bonard in an attempt to locate and kill the man who destroyed the first Death Star. Planchet, desperate to escape from the torture he was enduring, was executed while begging for an end to his suffering. (RF1)

Plancke, Parq Yewgeen

This rock-and-ice covered world, also known as Bakura-5, was the fifth planet in the Bakura System. (TBSB, GORW)

Planet 6
An ice world in the Bakura system, Planet 65 was originally attacked by the Ssi-ruuk shortly before the Battle of Endor. However, the alien invaders left it alone when no human life was found on it. This planet was also known as Bakura-6. (TB, GORW)

Planet of the Amazons: The Tale of the Pirate Ship Mourning Glory
This series of memoirs, written by Grov Bricker, documented the treatment of the Corellian pirate and his crew after they were captured by a group of Hapan women, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. It was generally considered that these memoirs were written to appeal to popular notion that the Hapan women were "amazons", rather than an actual recounting of the pirate's experiences. It became one of those books that was wildly popular and remained on the best-seller lists for many months, although no being would admit to actually owning a copy. The portrayal of the Hapan female soldiers as cruel, militaristic beings was eventually refuted, after Leia Organa set out to Hapes to discuss an alliance with the Queen Mother during the early years of the New Republic. (PH)

Planetary Futures Exchange
In the wake of the Great Sith War, the citizens of the Galactic Republic once again felt it was safe to travel across the galaxy. Explorers were allowed to use military transport routes as starting points, and began to explore deeper into the outer fringes of the known galaxy. This opened up a wealth of new star systems, many of which were uninhabited by rich in natural resources. In order to generate revenue and allow corporations to acquire the rights to these systems, the Galactic Republic established a series of Planetary Futures Exchanges, such as the Metellos Exchange. These exchanges were essentially massive auction houses, wherein the environmental, mining, transport, and extraction rights to these newly-discovered star systems were auctioned off to the highest bidder. The idea behind these exchanges was to use the credits received from winning bids to fund deeper exploration of the galaxy. This provided the Republic with new hyperspace travel routes that it could use, while opening up more and more of the galaxy to settlers and investors. In many cases, the rights to these star systems were only good for a certain period of time. If a corporation was too busy, lacked the resources, or simply could not reach a far-flung location in time, the rights to the star system were returned to the Republic, and could be put up for auction once again. Many economists believed that the planetary futures exchanges were nothing more than a financial fad, although supporters argued that the exchanges provided clear guidelines for obtaining and holding the rights to uncharted star systems, preventing excessive legal complications.

Planetary Poker (*)
A card game played by R2-D2 and Chewbacca. (MRR)

Planetary Repulsor
The huge, underground repsulors used to move the various planets into the Corellian System eons ago. The primary minds behind the Starbuster plot learned that they could use the repulsors as weapons, and destroyed the Bakuran destroyer Watchkeeper by activating the repulsor and smashing the ship with it. (AS)

Planetary Safaris
This Imperially-chartered corporation specialized in hunting expeditions to exotic worlds. Some 20 years before the Galactic Civil War, Planetary Safaris discovered the planet Barab I, and organized hunting trips to hunt the Barabel race despite the fact that the Barabels were obviously intelligent. The Barabels fought back, and were eventually recognized by Captain Alater as a sentient species. (GG4, GORW, WOTC)

Planetary Security Forces
Near the end of the Old Republic, it was recommended that each member world form its own Planetary Security Force, in order to ensure that the planets were protected while ensuring that the Republic's forces were not stretched too thinly. Many planets, such as Corellia, took this matter seriously. This led to the creation of CorSec - the Corellian Security Force. (HNN4)

Planetary Trade Directorate
This as the first global government established by the Cherishites who settled the planet Rhamalai. It was first developed to facilitate a fair trade and barter economy. (SWJ13)

PlanetDreams, Incorporated
This large entertainment consortium owned and operated a number of upscale resorts throughout the galaxy, during the years following the Alliance-Confederation War. Among the many resorts owned by PlanetDreams was the Oseon Resort, located on the planet Oseon VII. (MF)

Planet-hopper
A term used to describe any small starship used to make runs between planets in the same system. (POT)

Planet-skip
This starship maneuver was similar to a gravity dive, although a pilot did not plunge directly for the surface of a planet. Instead, the pilot flew their ship at a slight angle, close enough to a planet to gain some velocity due to the pull of gravity. When the ship then hit the outer layer of the planet's atmosphere, the ship literally skipped off of it, boucing outward and away from the planet at an oblique angle, with much greater speed than simply passing by it. (DN3)

Planimal
This unusual, spiny creature was native to the planet Teya IV. Planimals had eyes were were essentially organic photoreceptors, which were used absorb the light of the planet's sun. In this way, planimals could gather solar energy for sustenance. (SWJ11)

Plank
This was a slang term used to describe any obnoxious or undesirable being. (RC66)

Plank Gas

Planter
This was a slang term used by the human members of the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe a member of the Ithorian race. It was considered much nicer than the term Hammerhead. (GG9)

Plaque of Victory
This odd, triangular ingot of metal was discovered by Imperial research team MS-133 four years after the Battle of Endor. It had been hidden within the confines of the Place of Kastays, on the planet Aaris III, for many centuries, after it was recovered by an ancient Aaris military force. It had been turned over the Kastays, whose team tried in vain to prevent it from tearing apart their civilization. The Plaque itself was not native to Aaris III, but had been transported to the planet millennia before the rise of the Aaris civilization. It fed off the life energies of organic beings, and tried to kill any living thing it encountered. It did not actually try to kill them itself, but amplified the suspicious nature of the beings which touched it, in an attempt to have them destroy themselves. While the Plaque's effect was strongest when in physical contact with a being, proximity to the artifact also strengthened a being's fear of its companions. After the Plaque had been discovered by Lancer Brunou and team MS-133, the crew of the FarStar was forced to jettison the Plaque into space in order to defeat its evil influence. (DARK)

Plaristes
This philosopher wrote a wealth of treatises on sentience and intelligence during the decades prior to the formation of the Old Republic, more than 25,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. Among his most enduring treatises was Of Minds, Men, and Machines, in which he 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. This didn't stop Darth Millennial from adapting to his own needs, combining Plaristes' teachings with ancient Sith lore to create the Dark Force religion. (OWS, NEGD)

Plarx
This Frezhlix led an assault force against the Sif'krie race shortly after the revelation of the Caamas Document. (SOP)

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

Plasma Ball
This Yuuzhan Vong weapon was similar in many respects to a magma missile. A sphere of pure plasma energy, the plasma ball was one of the primary weapons of the coralskippers which were developed after the initial stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. One of the things that made plasma balls an effective weapon was that they continued to erode the surfaces they hit against, even after the initial blast had passed. Thus, any hit from a plasma ball was potentially deadly. These weapons were fired from Yuuzhan Vong vessels by specialized volcanic cannons. (SBS, EL1, GMR8)

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

Plasma Bomb
This form of explosive was used by the Bartokks. (E1A4)

Plasma Bridge
This was a form of bridge that used a safe form of plasma energy, rather than metal and duracrete, to provide access to a distant location like a city or fortress. A plasma bridge consisted of a projection system that was located in the city itself, and a remote relay system that was located at a safe distance, usually across a canyon or waterway. When activated, the systems created a glowing field of energy that beings and machinery could move across, and which was sufficiently dense that repulsorlift vehicles could pass over it. In times of conflict or emergency, the plasma bridge could be shut down, cutting off all access to the city. Any beings or objects on the plasma bridge when it was deactivated would suddenly plummet to the surface below, since they were no longer supported by the plasma energy. (CWTV21)

Plasma Cannon
This was a type of crude weapon that expels a packet of ionized plasma gas at its target. Most of the known versions of plasma cannons came from sources outside the known galaxy. The first recorded sighting of a plasma cannon occurred when the Charons first made an attempt to enter the galaxy from Otherspace. Decades later, a new form of plasma cannon emerged, this time in the arsenal of the Yuuzhan Vong. The Yuuzhan Vong yaret-kor plasma balls that caused initial damage upon detonation, but which also continued to eat away at any surface which the energy came in contact with. The Imperial Remnant developed a variation on the technology during the years following the Swarm War. (OS, EL1, NEGW, LF9)

Plasma Cut
Manufactured by BlasTech, this portable plasma torch was used to open a hole in a starship's hull during a boarding action. (PP, CSA)

Plasma Disk
This was the term used to describe the lozenge-shaped disc of energy that was produced by the primary weapon of the Separatist warship Malevolence. The plasma rotors positioned along the ship's fuselage created the plasma disk, which expanded in size as it moved away from the ship, but retained the same amount of power as it expanded. (CWTV02)

Plasma Eel
This Yuuzhan Vong grenade was a bioengineered creature whose body was mostly active plasma. The plasma eel resembled an amphistaff in shape, and could be wrapped around a warrior's arm for transport. Then thrown, however, the plasma eel became as rigid as a spear. The plasma inside the eel's body quickly built up energy, and the entire creature exploded upon impact, causing large amounts of damage. After the hostilities between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance were resolved, and the Yuuzhan Vong were allowed to live on the planet Zonama Sekot, they found that plasma eels and many other bio-engineered weapons simply reverted to their animal forms and fled into the forests. This was one way in which Sekot forced the Yuuzhan Vong to give up their lust for war and embrace a more enlightened existence. (NJOSB, UF)

Plasma Forge
This huge device was used on starships and in refineries to create replacement components from raw materials. (BI)

Plasma Fuser

Plasma Leech
This strange parasite lives out its entire life aboard a starship, where it fed on the power generated to operate shipboard systems. (SWDB)

Plasma Line
This was a form of power generation system that used free-flowing bands of plasma energy. The fact that the plasma energy had to be continually routed through external nodes to keep it viable meant that plasma line systems were very dangerous to maintain. However, when properly tuned, the plasma lines provided a constant source of energy for an installation or building. (CWTV12)

Plasma Mine
This incendiary explosive was used during the era of the Great Sith War, and employed a mixture of chemicals to generate a burst of intense energy and heat over a wide radius. (KOTOR)

Plasma Ray
This was a form of weaponry that used cohesive packets of plasma in a ray that cold be fired from a barrel. The ray of plasma energy remained more or less coherent until it struck a solid target, which was then disintegrated as the plasma energy tore it apart. (CN1)

Plasma Rotor
This was the primary component of the massive ion cannons that were installed aboard the Malevolence. The plasma rotors created the huge amounts of ion energy that were required by the cannons, and literally spun this energy into the lozenge-shaped blasts that were fired from the ship. These blasts, known as plasma disks, expanded in size as they moved away from the Malevolence, but never lost any of their total power. (CWTV02, CWTV03)

Plasma Saw
This loud, noisy tool used ionized plasma gas to cut through materials. (JS)

Plasmating
This was a process developed by the Trade Federation, during the last decades of the Old Republic, in which materials were created in such a way that they were reduced to their constituent atoms when damaged. In this way, special diplomatic packages and delivery vessels could be formed to open only with the proper identification - keycodes, biometrics, etc. - and if the package was ruptured or forced open, the contents would plasmate, rendering them useless. (YDR)

Plasmold

(LF9)

Plastidroid
This was a specialized form of espionage and combat droids produced by Cestus Cybernetics during the height of the Clone Wars, based on the JK-series of biodroids. In their inert form, plastidroids were amorphous bundles of technology. Hidden within their shells was a collection of magnetically encoded components which, when activated, moved into position to form limbs, weapons, and other implements. These components were made of metal and plastine, and were designed to connect in a myriad of ways. The filmy skin of the plastidroid conformed to whatever new shape the droid assumed, keeping the internal components protected and lubricated. When fully assembled, a plastidroid stood more than five meters in height, and moved about on specialized treads. (TCD)

Plastifibe
This tough, plastic fiber was used in the manufacture of scrub brushes and exploratory agitators. It was effective in removing debris, but the fibers themselves did little damage to the underlying surface material. (SBS)

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

Plastifoam
This was another name for plastiform. (CN1)

Plastifoil

Each was built around a central spire or hub, which houses the storage facilities, living quarters, and operations centers. Extending from the central structure were three landing pads which serve were runways, launch and landing sites, and repair and storage facilities. Most platforms measure 250 meters across, and were armed with multiple turbolaser batteries and warhead launchers. They were also well-shielded, with 200-SBD shields protecting 100-RU hulls. The basic types of platforms are: Class 1 Platforms (PLT-1), designed primarily as a landing platform, with minimal living space; Class 2 Platforms (PLT-2), designed primarily as a landing platform, but with more living space than a PLT-1 platform; Class 3 Platforms (PLT-3), an expanded platform with more living space than a PLT-2 platform; Class 4 Platforms (PLT-4), an outpost platform, with minimal living space and small landing pads; Class 5 Platforms (PLT-5), a large platform with a huge living space and large landing pads; and Class 6 Platforms (PLT-6), a large platform that was not armed with a warhead launcher. (TIE)

Platform A-61
This landing pad was maintained by Separatist forces on the planet Gwori, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. When a convoy of freighter entered the Gwori System with one extra ship in their midst, the entire convoy was directed to Platform A-61. When the freighter VX-391 was unable to locate the platfrom, the leaders of the InterGalactic Banking Clan who owned the Gwori System's shipyards knew that the freighter was not actually authorized to land. (CWSOD)

Platform-7
This was the name given to the massive computer system that was installed to run the day-to-day operations of the city of Sath, on Samaria, during the final years of the Old Republic. Platform-7 was a variation on the standard BRT droid computer platofrm, and filled an entire room of the Sath Managing Complex. Shortly after the end of the Clone Wars, Platform-7 was infected by a virus that systemically shut down large portions of its regular routines, from power grid management to water treatment and communications. Ferus Olin discovered that the virus was a carefully-planted disruption that was created by Astri Oddo, who had assumed the alias of Quintus Farel. With the help of Samarian Prime Minister Aaren Larker, Astri uploaded the virus in order to disrupt Sath long enough for the Sathans to form up a resistance to Imperial occupation. The disruption would also allow Astri time to escape with her son, Lune. They secretly worked with local hospitals and doctors to ensure vital medical data was made available, but otherwise left the system at the mercy of the virus. Once she was safely away from Samaria, Astri would eradicate the virus and restore the Platform-7 system to its normal working parameters. The entire process of restoring the supercomputer to working order took the better part of two days, during which time Ferus was able to ensure that any information about the growing resistance on Samaria was eliminated. (LJ5, LJ6)

Platinite
This gleaming, silver precious metal was often used to make necklaces and bracelets. (SLS)

No eyes or nose were visible on their heads, and a small opening revealed their mouths. (MJEH)

Platt's Dream
This was the name of Platt Okeefe's first starship. (SWJ2)

Platykona-Zemlo-Mobris
This synthetic drug was created by Imperial scientists for use in re-education facilities. Commonly known as "pleaz-mo", this drug was a highly-addictive chemical that lowered an individual's inhibitions and made them more susceptible to suggestion. It was found to be too addictive after it was put into widespread use at the Aucellis Park facility, on Keriba VI, and the developers feared that it might lead to increased demand. This, in turn, would force authorities to investigate its source, revealing one of the Empire's secrets. (WOA27)

Plaushe, Kar

Pleaz-Mo
This was the popular name for the addictive drug known as platykona-zemlo-mobris. The nickname of "pleaz-mo" was coined from the drug's abbreviation - pl-z-mo, although many criminals believed that the nickname came from the addict's request for "please, more" when they needed a fix. The Imperial scientists who designed the drug found that it was too addictive, and feared that widespread use outside of the Aucellis Park facility would lead to an investigation. Thus, about five years before the Battle of Yavin, production was cut back to support only the requirements of Aucellis Park. (WOA27)

Plif
This Hoojib was one of the leaders of the group which assisted the Alliance, during its use of the planet Arbra as a base. It was Plif who first trusted Leia Organa and the Alliance, after the soliders of the Alliance landed on the planet. Plif was caught by Chewbacca as the Hoojibs rifled through their base, consuming anything with a power source. Plif explained why the Hoojibs had consumed their power sources, and eventually earned Leia's friendship. After the Alliance team defeated the slivilith which had taken up residence in the Hoojibs' cave, Plif suggested that the Alliance team share the cave with the Hoojibs, working together to build a base and protect themselved from the Empire. In the ensuing months, Plif remained on Arbra to help the Hoojibs and the Alliance personnel integrate their activities to the mutual benefit of both groups. He then accompanied Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa to Kabray station, posing as the delegate from Arbra, with Luke and Leia as his aides, so that they could investigate the whereabouts of Tay Vanis.

Plikk
This lithe woman was one of the many females who scratched their way into a position of command within the Imperial armed forces. She attained the rack of Captain shortly before the Battle of Hoth, although being stationed in one of the galaxy's backwater systems meant that her efforts often went unnoticed. She and her first officer, Lieutenant Nizzon, witnessed the Millennium Falcon suddenly jumping into another dimension of space, when their hyperdrive malfunctioned some time after the Battle of Hoth. They both hoped that the discovery of inter-dimensional travel would earn them great favor with the Emperor. When Captain Plikk and her Imperial forces discovered the inter-dimensional location of Sunn-Childe's floating city, she tried to destroy it using the combined firepower of her ships. Sunn-Childe's anger at being attacked flared up, manifesting itself as powerful demons that crippled the Imperial ships. Appalled at his own violence, Sunn-Childe and his majordome Beelyard decided that there could be no peace without sacrifice. Knowing that the Imperial ships were badly damaged, Sunn-Childe called off the demon attack, allowing Plikk to restart her own assault. Plikk used energy from her ships' hyperdrives to destroy Sunn-Childe's floating city, but in doing so she stranded her fleet in the interdimensional nothingness. (MC46)

Plo
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)

Plo, Lomi
This dark-skinned woman was once a student at the Shadow Academy. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Lomi Plo and Welk were captured by the alien invaders and held aboard the Baanu Rass, as part of the group of Force-sensitive individuals used in the creation and breeding of the voxyn. Both Welk and Lomi Plo agreed to help the Jedi infiltrate the worldship and destroy the voxyn, despite the misgivings of Zekk and several other Jedi about their loyalties. However, as the strike force neared the voxyn queen, the Dark Jedi abandoned the Jedi in order to save their own skins. They fled in the ship Tachyon Flier, abandoning Lowbacca but unaware that Raynar Thul was still on board. The young Jedi Knight and his captives didn't escape, and were shot down by Yuuzhan Vong warships. Although they were believed to have died, Welk and Lomi Plo managed to survive the crash-landing of their ship in the Unknown Regions. They were accepted by a small part of the Yoggoy hive, and eventually created the Gorog hive. Lomi Plo herself became known among the Gorog as the Night Herald, and became something of the queen of the Dark Nest. Her incredible connection to the Dark Side of the Force allowed her to completely mask her activities and those of the Gorog, even from Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. In the year following the Qoribu Crisis, Lomi Plo remained out of sight, directing the Gorog and planting various alternate truths in the collective mind of the Colony in an effort to cover her tracks. In this way, Lomi Plo and the Gorog began to slowly disrupt the efforts of the Galactic Alliance, undermining every attempt to create a galactic peace in order to divide the Alliance and conquer the galaxy. Lomi Plo had also discovered that, by sowing distrust among the Jedi Knights, she could literally hide behind - or within - that doubt, thereby hiding her activities from even the most powerful of Jedi. Lomi Plo had Alema Rar deliver contradictory messages to Luke Skywalker about his wife's involvement with Daxar Ies, thereby giving her an opportunity to cloud Master Skywalker's mind without being discovered. During the Gorog hive's attempt to escape the Utegetu Nebula, Lomi Plo found herself confronted by Master Skywalker, who had discovered her ability to hide behind doubt and had managed to cast his own fears aside. Their one-on-one combat nearly resulted in Skywalker's death, until Mara Jade Skywalker managed to break Lomi Plo's hold on Luke by literally scraping the Dark Jedi off him with her X-Wing. Luke's fading vision recalled that Lomi Plo's face had been badly burned and scarred, and he remembered that her eyes had been replaced with Killik implants, and a pair of insect mandibles had been attached to her face in place of her own jaw. Her body had been altered to accept a second pair of insectile arms, and the leg she lost in the Crash had been replaced by two insect legs. In the wake of the battle, it was unclear whether Lomi Plo had escaped, until she was discovered on a Gorog nest ship near Sarm. Now known as the Dark Queen, Lomi Plo was in command of the Dark Nest's military forces, and her connection to the Force allowed her to track Master Skywalker's presence when he arrived at Sarm to confront her again. She again managed to escape, but only briefly, as the Jedi tracked her to Tenupe. This time, however, Master Skywalker had cleared his mind of any form of doubt, leaving Lomi Plo without a way to attack him without inviting a response. Despite her strong connection to the Dark Side of the Force, Lomi Plo was no match for Master Skywalker's strength and conviction. In a swift battle of lightsabers, Skywalker got inside her guard and cut Lomi Plo to pieces. With her death, the Gorog were left without direction, and they were eventually absorbed into the rest of the Colony or died out all together. (SBS, NJOSB, DN1, DN2, DN3)

P'loh
This Yuuzhan Vong individual was a creche'-mate of Nen Yim. When the Shaper traveled to Zonama Sekot with Tahiri Veila, they found that they both shared memories of P'loh and another creche'-mate, Zhul. They discovered that Nen Yim's own memories had been stolen from her, through the use of the protocol of Qah, by Mezhan Kwaad for the creation of the Riina Kwaad personality that was implanted inside Tahiri's mind. After the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy, P'loh was assigned to the base on Belkadan. She later died on the planet. (FP)

Led by Jedi Master Nejaa Halcyon, the Plooriod Bodkin was escorted by eight Jedi starfighters, and carried twelve Jedi Knights and thirty members of the Old Republic's judiciary branch. After Master Halcyon managed to locate the Scarlet Thranta and her rogue Captain, Zozridor Slayke, he set down on Bpfassh to capture them. Slayke, however, knew that the Jedi would not purposely attack his camp, and left his chief lieutenant, Grudo, to challenge Halcyon. As the two fought, Slayke slipped behind the lines and stole the Plooriod Bodkin and escaped. The event became an embarassment to Halcyon, as he returned to Coruscant without Slayke and without his ship. Later, after the battle for Praesitlyn was over, Slayke offered to return the Plooriod Bodkin to Halcyon, but the Jedi Master politely refused. (HNN5, JT)

Ploovo Two-for-One
Ploove was a loan shark, robber, and thief who operated in the Cron Drift during the New Order. He was a human known for his bad temper, a nervous facial tic, and an oily, black topknot. Ploovo was living proof that good breeding and a fine education don't always guarantee one would turn out good. He left those things behind and started working for Jigoba as a minor loan shark. When he felt he was ready, Ploovo struck out on his own, gradually expanding his empire until it stretched beyond the borders of the Corporate Sector. History showed, however, that Ploovo was too subtle or too timid to survive as a crimelord outside the bounds of the Corporate Sector. Thus, he became successful there, but was not well-known to the underworld of the Empire. He wore a wide assortment of faux gem pinky ring, and had no taste in clothing. After Han Solo repaid Ploovo's duplicity by giving him a dinko as payment, Ploovo became mentally unstable when it came to unusual creatures. He spent much of his fortune collecting the taxidermied carcasses and head of creatures, in an effort to show his command over them. (HSE, CSA, HT)

Plooz
This young, green-skinned, alien prince ran away from his father, King Gokus, sometime before the Battle of Yavin. A native of the planet Alzar, he stowed away on a freighter, and wound up on the planet Sooma. The decision to run away from Alzar was not entirely Prince Plooz's, as he was convinced to run away by General Sludd. C-3PO and R2-D2, during a stopover on Sooma which would bring them to Alzar, agreed to accompany Prince Plooz back home. They ship was attacked by Sludd's forces, and shot down over the Forest Moon of Endor. (MDCAR)

He was shot in a squabble with a customer about four years before the Black Fleet Crisis. Bracha e'Naso took over the day-to-day operation of his business. (TT)

Ploughtekal Market
This open market was located on the planet Coruscant, during the early years of the New Order. Its true sized had never been measured during the final decades of the Old Republic, because its boundaries were constantly shifting as merchants came and went. The alleyways and passages within the market were often confusing and maze-like to the first-time visitor, and many beings likened the market to a vast hive. Many of the merchants who did business within the Plougtekal Market also lived there, making it easy to protect their shops and maximizing their time doing business. It was believed that a being could purchase almost anything in the galaxy within the Ploughtekal Market, regardless of legality or imagination. Because of this, and because of the close-knit nature of the merchants, the police and other authorities often had a difficult time actually proving that illegal goods were available in the market. Shop owners were always on the lookout for police or military personnel, and word traveled quickly whenever they arrived, often as fast as data on the HoloNet. Shops that were under investigation often were able to move their entire operations to a new location before the police could reach their old location, leaving the police without any idea where to look next. (CN2)

Ploven
This aquatic race was native to the planet Gra Ploven. The Empire attempted to subjugate the race, but the Ploven refused to pay what the Imperials called a "defense assessment." In retaliation, the Empire ordered the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Forger to concentrate its firepower on the planet's bodies of water. The resulting super-hot steam boiled 200,000 Ploven alive in three coastal cities. They have a number of fins situated along their back, earning them the derogatory nickname "Finbacks." (SOL)

The cockpit of this racer measured 4.11 meters in length, and its engines were 7.24 meters long. The Behemoth could race at speeds of 790 kilometers per hour or more. Mars Guo employed a Plug-2 Behemoth podracer, during the Boonta Eve Classic podrace that was won by nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker on Tatooine. (IG1, RF1)

Plug-8G
This was a series of podracing engines developed by Vokoff-Strood. Most often used on the Vokoff-Strood Plug-G 927, these 4.5-meter-long engines resembled a cluster of tubes surrounding the central cooling channel. Two turbine engines sat outboard each main engine, and a smaller ramair intake was located below each. Four smaller tubes were set equally around each central cooling channel, and served as directional modifiers. Despite the power that could be generated by its massive array, the Plug-8G's size meant that it had poor maneuvarability and handling. (IG1, CHRN2)

Plug-F Mammoth
This huge racing engine was designed by Collor Pondrat. The podracer Sebulba mated a pair of Plug-F Mammoths to Split-X intakes to power his pod. They measure 7.47 meters in length, and race at speeds approaching 829 kilometers per hour. Note that this racing engine was described as the Pluf-G Mammoth in Secrets of Tatooine. (X1, IG1, SOT)

Plug-G 927

This was one of the more common Kel Dor surnames. Its meaning translated into Basic as "philosopher". (GCG)

Plunk Droid
This was a generic term used to describe the heavy-duty, four-legged power droids that were produced during the final years of the Old Republic. This term stemmed from the unusual vocalization of the power droids, which seemed to say "plunk, plunk" as they moved from location to location. The droid armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems used plunk droids in a variety of other tasks, including the counting of incoming and outgoing starships at many orbital facilities. (CWTV03, CWSOD)

Plurra
This Vratix and its companions were rescued by Alliance agents who were on Thyferra shortly after the Battle of Yavin, as part of the investigation into why the first Death Star was carrying a huge cargo of bacta.

PLX-1
This was the first version of the Merr-Sonn Munitions portable missile launcher, first introduced during the Clone Wars for use by the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic. Like its descendants, the PLX-1 could fire "dumb" missiles that had to be aimed by the trooper, or "smart" missiles that could locate their target based on heat signature or gravity-activated moed (GAM) missiles. The PLX-1 could hold two projectiles, one in the barrel and a second in reserve. (SWDB)

PLX2
see PLX-2 (ISB)

PLX-2
Also known as the "Plex," this was Merr-Sonn's portable, disposable missile launcher. It could fire rockets or concussion missiles, and was fast and powerful. It was fired from the shoulder, and could fire dumb missiles at sighted targets or GAM missiles. (ISB)

This was the second generation of Merr-Sonn's portable missile launcher. They were capable of shooting what became known as chips, or large shrapnel-like projectiles. (IR)

PLX-4
The third generation of Merr-Sonn's "PLEX" missile launcher, the PLX-4 can fire both missiles and standard rockets. It can be used on the shoulder, like the PLX-2M, but can also be mounted on a tripod for greater accuracy. It can use smart GAM missiles, dumb rockets for establishing line-of-sight, or the newer Savant missiles. (TTSB)

PLY 2400
This model of personal luxury yacht was produced by SoroSuub during the final decades of the Old Republic. A forerunner of the PLY 3000, the fifty-meter-long PLY 2400 developed and manufactured as a personal transport and pleasuer vessel for wealth beings. The sleek, central fuselage was supported by two outrigger-style propulsion units, each of which carried sublight and hyperdrive systems. (LF4)

PLY 3000
SoroSuub's personal luxury yacht, the PLY 3000 was a fifty-meter starship that had three main levels: the main deck, which features a full galley, six deluxe cabins, a dining area, and the bridge; an engineering level below the main deck; and an observation area above the main deck, in the rear. The ship was armed with a single laser cannon, but had minimal shielding and limited hyperdrive capability. (DFRSB)

Plyridian Fever
This disease, which was often fatal if not properly diagnosed, had an incubation period of about four weeks. Any being discovered to have the initial symptoms of the disease had to be quarantined for up to four weeks, to determine whether or not plyridian fever was the cause. (SWI68)

PMC-210
Developed by Praxen Emergency Medical Supplies, Limited, this medical capsule was designed to transport a wounded being from a remote location to a hospital or other medical facility for treatment. The PMC-210 was equipped with a repulsorlift engine for propulsion, as well as for minimizing motion during transport. A droid brain was installed to monitor a patient's condition, and this unit could provide minimal medical assistance while en route to better-equipped facilities. (CHRN2)

Pneumatic Lock
This form of heavy-duty locking system used air pressure to drive pistons from a door frame into the door itself, locking the door and preventing unauthorized entry to a given location. When the correct access code was provided, the air pressure that kept the pistons in place was bled off, and the pistons retracted into the door frame. (DOG)

Pnorr, Venlyss
This Gand served as a retrievals agent for the Alliance, during the Galactic Civil War. He worked under the guise of a bounty hunter, capturing Alliance operatives who were in trouble and returning them safely to Alliance safehouses. His last mission resulted in the death of the deep-cover agent he was retrieving, and Pnorr went into hiding after delivering the body to its drop-off point. (CRO)

Po
This was the Jawaese word for the number 1. (GPB)

Po Ban
This name, which meant "green eyes", was common among Gungan males. This name was unusual, since it was unusual for Gungans to have green eyes. (GCG)

Poborandurannum
This sacred temple was found on the planet Natinati. Jabba the Hutt visited the site some years before the Battle of Yavin. (JTH)

Pocarno, Tiv
Known to his friends as "Poke", this man was a cantakerous smuggler who plied the spacelanes for more than thirty years in the transport ship he called the Broken 'Spanner. He spent much of his wealth maintaining the old starship, and found himself indebted to Torel Vorne after upgrading a number of systems. When "Poke" tried to make one last smuggling run to pay of Vorne, he failed miserably. Unable to pay off his debts, "Poke" found himself an unwilling participant in Vorne's "organ donor program." The Broken 'Spanner was impounded and used by Vorne's organization. (SS)

Pochi
This planet, the third in the Faarlsun System, was the homeworld of the tulvarees. It was a dry, but habitable world covered with endless plains and a few low mountain ranges. The average day on Pochi lasted about 25 standard hours, and its year encompasses 350 local days. Pochi had three moons. (WBC)

Pocho-nut
This plant produced a small nut that could be dried and eaten as a snack food. (CWWS)

This gas giant was the fourth planet of the Essesia System. It was orbited by nineteen moons. (CCW)

Pocka
This Quarren worked for Skydove Freight as a pilot, and was often at the controls of the Golden Opportunity during the early years of the New order. Although Pocka knew that he was working for the Anjiliac clan of Hutts, he preferred to remain oblivious to the details of his work, claiming that "If I don't know anything, they can't beat it out of me." (TF)

Pocker
This was a modified version of the Gungan atlatl, using an ion burst to propel a dart or spear at a target. The Kaminoan people used pockers to hunt fish and other aquatic prey. (E2N, GORW)

Pocker LJ
This was Merr-Sonn's version of the basic pocker. It was equipped with a laser scope for added accuracy. (GORW)

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

Pocket Aquarium
This device was essentially a small, self-contained, aquatic environment that could be carried in a large pocket or pouch. The pocket aquarium usually contained some form of photosynthetic plant that could consume nitrogen and carbon doixide and expel oxygen into the water, thereby creating a self-sustainined ecosystem within the aquarium. (SWGAL)

Pocket Computer
This generic term refers to any small, portable computer terminal which allows the user to gain access to the data in a mainframe. Pocket computers do not allow the user to control the mainframe. (CFG)

Pocket Cruiser
An obsolete class of capital ship which saw action near the end of the Clone Wars. (HSL)

Pocket Patrol Boat
A small fighter used by the Corellian defense network, these ships (called PPBs) sacrificed armament for speed. (AC)

Pocket Secretary
Developed by MicroData Technologies, this small edvice was a combination of a datapad and audio recorder, with specialized software bundled inside. An expansion slot allowed special datacards to be entered into the Pocket Secretary, adding specific information to the device's memory. When used by administrative aides and assistants, it provided instant access to all manner of information and calculations, as well as a scheduling system and access to corporate databases. (AEG)

Pocket Secretary
This was the name of Naescorcom's personal data assistant, which was manufactured during the final years of the Old Republic. It was similar in most every respect to the Pocket Secretary produced by MicroData Technologies, although it was marketed in regions that MicroData had not yet developed a presence. (MCT2)

Pod
This was the basic term adopted by the Kaminoans to describe a group of clone troopers were were decanted, trained, and deployed as a single unit. (RCTZ)

Pod 1977
This was one of the many escape pods that blasted away from the Triumphant before it exploded over Abregado-Rae, during the era of the Clone Wars. The pod was captured by a Separatist pod-hunter, and the droids within the pod-hunter simply breached the hull of Pod 1977 and vented its atmosphere into space, killing all the clone troopers aboard. (CWTV02)

Pod Beast
This unusual creature was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong to act as a kind of chair or couch. It was developed by the Shapers as an alternative to yorik coral or other rigid forms of furniture. The pod beast could accept large amounts of weight, adjusting its form to cradle the weight in comfort. (T)

Pod Trooper
This was the term used by the Yuuzhan Vong to describe those warriors who were inserted onto a planet via small, yorik coral pods. These pods had minimal life support and drive systems, basically just enough to get the warrior safely to the ground. (T)

Podadun
This Teyrian city was located at the point where the River District Flyway breaks off from the Rift Skyrail. (SOL)

Pod-bread
This was a form of bread that was baked on the planet Tatooine during the last years of the Old Republic. (BF5)

Poderis
The primary planet in the Poderis system, in the Orus Sector, Poderis was a "marginal" world of tough, stubborn colonists. The surface of the planet was dominated by lowland slough, leaving the only arable pieces of land situated atop island-like mesas scattered across the land. One of the possible sources of Imperial clones, leaked by Thrawn in an effort to throw the Republic off its search. It had a ten-hour rotational cycle and a severe axial tilt, a combination which created intense windstorms. The planet's inhabitants learned to build huge shield-barriers around their cities to dampen and deflect the winds. (TLC)

Pod-hunter
This was the term used to describe the specialized droid vehicles that were used by the Separatists to locate escape pods in the wreckage from a starship battle. Because the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic were sometimes forced to abandon ship, they often blasted away in escape pods. Sometimes, in order to avoid detection, Republic troops would shut down all systems on the escape pod, hoping to avoid being captured. Pod-hunters swept the debris of a battle zone, looking for any escape pods that might be hidden in the wreckage. Once an escape pod was found to have living pasengers, battle droids could be deployed from the pod-hunter to board the escape pod and take prisoners or kill anyone on board.

Each pod-hunter was little more than a propulsion system and four pincer arms. These arms were used to grab an escape pod and hold onto it, while battle droids that were riding on the propulsion unit used blasters to shoot open the pod and kill any beings inside. If a pod proved to be resistant to blaster fire, the pincers could be brought closer together to crush the pod between them. This combination of systems also made the pod-hunter and excellent boarding craft, and the design eventually became the Droch-class boarding craft. The pincers could be drawn together into a point, which could be used to pierce the hull of a starship. Once the pod-hunter had rammed its way into the hull, the pincers could be opened, further rending the hull and allowing the battle droids inside to board the enemy vessel. (CWTV02, CWTV09)

Podon
A type of tree native to the rift valleys of Belsavis. It bears a tasty fruit often used in cider. The fruit was farily sturdy, and can be packed by droids instead of humanoids. (COJ)

This man witnessed a Twi'leki soldier evade three opponents and disarm them, while protected by a suit of Staad Armor. (GUN)

Po'dorj
This was a plant whose fruit which was eaten by the Ebruchi. (SWJ11)

Podpopper
This vegetable was grown in the hydroponic gardens of Tatooine, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (TG)

Podrace Balloon
This was a generic term used to describe the various flotation devices used to hold cameras or bold spectators over a podracing arena. Often filled with tibanna gas, these ungainly balloons hover above the course and allow an unobstructed view of the nearby course. Spectators who ride in podrace balloons often do so at their own risk, because the racers (or their cronies) often shoot them down, hoping to eliminate a potential camera position and allow more underhanded racing to take place. (IG1)

Podrace Cam Droid
Similar in design to the Senate Cam Droid, these small automatons employ a tiny repulsor engine to float above a podracing course and supply real-time footage of the race. There were a number of cam droids in operation at one time: usually, one concentrates on each race, while several remain stationary over certain checkpoints or exciting parts of the course. They were designed to operate in a multitude of environments, and the images they collect were sent back to the arena for immediate consumption by podracing fans. (IG1)

Podracer
This was a generic term used to describe any of the small, one-man repulsorcraft used to race across a predefined podracing course. Each pod contains the driver, and was connected by Steelton control cables to the turbine engines that propel the craft forward. The pod contains a repulsorlift engine, that keeps the craft at a specific, low-level altitude. The turbine engines - from two to four per pod - were incredbily powerful, and were connected by an energy binder that keeps them from flying apart. Podracing was popularized in the Outer Rim during the last decades of the Old Republic. Because of the reflexes needed to react to the pod and the course, as well as the dexterity needed to control the pod racer, nearly all pod racers were non-humans. Sometimes, at least four hands were needed to maintain control of the ship, while sharp reflexes and quick thinking were needed to anticipate the course as the small craft were propelled forward at speeds reaching 900 kilometers per hour and more. (E1, E1N, X1)

Podracing
This sport developed in the Outer Rim in the last decades of the Old Republic, and remained popular even with the advent of the New Order. Podracing involved the maneuvering of repulsor-equiped podracers around a predefined course. Each race usually required each of up to fifteen opponents to maneuver the course three times. It was considered more dangerous than swoop racing, because the engines of the podracer were not directly connected to the pod. This, coupled with the winding, obstacle-filled courses that made up the circuit of races, often meant that podracers were continually at risk. Because of the reflexes needed to react to the pod and the course, as well as the dexterity needed to control the pod racer, nearly all podracers were non-humans. At least four hands were needed to maintain control of the ship, while sharp reflexes and quick thinking were needed to anticipate the course. Because the podracers themselves were tempermental and easily unbalanced, the majority of racers were of small stature, so that their body mass did not upset the vehicle's balane.

After the wild finish of the Boonta Eve Classic, shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Padracing's popularity reached an all-time high. However, as the political situation in the Old Republic deteriorated, so did the appeal of podracing. Many of the sports generally-accepted criminal activities were exposed to public view, and some of the most popular podracers were arrested for a variety of crimes. The sport was soon outlawed in the Core Worlds. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, it was reported that attendance had dropped more than fifty percent from the era of the Battle of Naboo, although betting transactions remained at an all-time high. Eventually, podracing gave way to swoop racing and other forms of extreme sports. (E1, E1N, HNN4, JQ3, RF1)

Podracing Quarterly
This holo-zine was dedicated to covering the sport of podracing, and was quite popular during the final decades of the Old Republic. (YJC1)

Poe
This silver protocol droid belonged to Gror Pernon, and was given to Rogue Squadron after Plourr returned to Eiattu. The Rogues used their connection to Kina Margath to get Poe infiltrated as an assistant to Sair Yonka, and obtained valuable information on the Captain's affair with Aellyn Jandi. (XWWP, BW)

It was armed with fourteen turbolasers, eighteen ion cannons, a six heavy tractor beam projectors. (BP, NEGV)

Pog
This being served as a the front-man for the ThunderForce mercenary unit, recruiting new members via the newsnets. Although his base of operations was on Tralus, Pog met his recruits at Fathoms on Calamari. (HAS)

Poggle the Lesser
This Geonosian grew up in the lowest of castes within the Stalgasin Hive, and was forced to work his way up the societal ladder through cunning and strength. Poggle hated Hadiss the Vaulted, and swore at an eearly age that he would overthrow Hadiss' rule. After causing several small uprisings, Poggle and his followers were arrested and forced to fight in the petrana-ki gladiator arenas, for the pleasure of Hadiss and his cronies. Only Poggle managed to survive, even defeating the acklay Hadiss kept as a surprise, and he assumed the role of Archduke of Geonosis. Shortly afterward, Poggle was contacted by Darth Sidious, who agreed to fund the rebellion against Hadiss in return for battle droid production facilities. Poggle agreed, and his own forces grew quickly with Sidious' assistance. On the Eve of Meckgin, shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Poggle defeated Hadiss and had the other Geonosian devoured by an acklay. He then set to work creating battle droid production facilities for the Trade Federation. It was during this time that Poggle grew to hate Nute Gunray, mainly for the Neimoidian's ineptitude. The failure of the Trade Federation to win the Battle of Naboo only deepened Poggle's hatred. Rather than waiting for new instructions, Poggle directed his Geonosians to develop a superior version of the standard battle droid, shortly before the Clone Wars.

In the wake of the Republic's victory at the Battle of Geonosis, Poggle remained hidden on Geonosis, escaping to a shielded factory where he pondered his next steps. The Republic returned to Geonosis about a year after the first battle, intent on capturing Poggle the Lesser and eliminating the factory that he had been rebuilding. Clone forces led by Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luminara Unduli, and Ki-Adi-Mundi were able to take control of the factory complex, forcing Poggle to flee into the desert with a small escort of droids. He retreated to Progate Temple, where he felt he was safe within the lair of Queen Karina the Great. The Jedi and their clones tracked him to the Temple, and they ultimately defeated the Queen and captured Poggle. He was taken aboard a Jedi Cruiser and was sent to Coruscant for interrogation. During the trip, he was forced to reveal to Anakin Skywalker that the brain worms used by the Queen to control her drones could be killed by extremely cold temperatures. Ultimately, Poggle was able to break free of the Republic's grasp, and he and his lieutenants fled with the Separatists to several remote worlds, always trying to remain one step ahead of their Jedi pursuers. After hiding on Utapau under the protection of General Grievous, the Separatists were taken to Mustafar. It was there, after Darth Sidious finally lured Anakin Skywalker to the Darth Side of the Force, that the Separatist leaders met their deaths. Skywalker was dispatched to Mustafar by Sidious himself, with orders to eliminate them. Skywalker quickly beheaded Poggle, before setting off after the rest of the Separatist leaders. Note that the young adult novelization of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith indicates that Poggle the Lesser was a banker, and ostensibly a member of the Intergalactic Banking Clan. (OWS, E2N, SWI66, IS3, E3Y, CWTV27, CWTV29, CWTV30)

Poi, Pollux
This brilliant but insane Anx scientist was hired by the Shell Hutts to develop assassin droids that could be used against the Gejalli clan, more than four millennia before the onset of the Clone Wars. His A-series assassin droids worked to perfection, but Pollux Poi was unable to avoid trouble. The surviving members of the Gejalli clan placed a death mark on Poi's head, forcing the Anx to flee to Kashyyyk, where he remained for two decades with a group of A-series droids as protection. Even the Dashade couldn't claim the bounty on his head, making Poi a noted figure in the history of the Hutts. He later died of natural causes, but the A-series droids that had protected him continued to operate for many thousands of years. (NEGD)

Poinard, Ark
This man served the Imperial Remnant as a Vice Admiral, and he commanded the Erinnic during the support of the New Republic against the Yuuzhan Vong.

Poinard and the Erinnic were at Ord Mantell to help defend against a Yuuzhan Vong attack, based on intelligence they had received from the New Republic. (HT)

Point 5
see Point Five (MF)

Point Bleak
This was the Galactic Alliance's codename for their escape destination, should something happen to the warships that were blockading the Corellian System during the Corellia-GA War. All ships were given the coordinates to Point Bleak, and were to proceed to the location in space upon orders from the fleet's flagship, the Galactic-class battle carrier Dodonna. The hope, however, was that the order to retreat to Point Bleak would never have to be given. This proved to be a false hope when Admiral Matric Klauskin allowed the Shamunaar to be captured by the Bothan military, allowing a gorup of Bothan Assault Cruisers to attack the GA's forces at Corellia. The Dodonna took a heavy pounding, and was forced to order the retreat to Point Bleak after disabling Centerpoint Station. (LF4)

Point Modie was built at the base of an inverted cone of stone, and was wondrous to behold. Several large ports extended outward from the city, allowing all manner of ocean-going trade to occur. (CRBN)

Point Rain
This was the callsign used the the Grand Army of the Republic to describe a specific location on the planet Geonosis. During the height of the Clone Wars, a three-pronged attack was launched to capture Poggle the Lesser, with Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Ki-Adi-Mundi leading clone units on the mission. The three groups were to land their troops and their tanks at Point Rain, then advance on the Geonosian stronghold. However, the Geonosians put up a stern resistance, and the three Republic units were forced to crash-land at different locations. (CWTV27)

Point, The
This was the name given to the southern cape of the largest island on the planet Spira. Just off The Point, the planet's two strongest currents meet, creating a surging area of strong eddies, minor whirlpools, and large waves. The Spira Regatta Open passed through the waters of The Point, forcing racers to navigate with dexterity and skill to overcome the ever-changing conditions. (SWJ1)

Poison Grenade
Developed more than 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, this form of explosive device released a chemical poison into the air when it exploded. This poison could be of many forms, from deadly vapors to toxic liquid, although it was usually a fast-acting poison that killed any being that was sprayed in the explosion. (KOTOR)

Poison Mine
This type of mine was developed many millennia before the Clone Wars. Like most mines, the poison mine could be placed just below the surface of the ground, and was activated when a being or vehicle put pressure on its outer casing. However, a poison mine didn't simply explode like other mines. Instead, it released a dense cloud of poisonous gas, which quickly affected any beings in the immediate area. (KOTOR2)

Poison Moon
This asteroid was located in the Hoth System. It was named for the fact that its surface appeared to be deadly, when viewed from space. (DHE3)

Poison Moon
This Interceptor-class frigate was one of many that were hired by the modern Sith Lords who existed on Korriban, during the years following the Swarm War. The frigate, which was piloted by the former smuggler Wayniss, was recalled from its regular duty to provide Dician with a ship to travel to the MZX32905 System and eliminate Alema Rar. Several smaller shuttles were carried in its hangars, and could be deployed during boarding or landing procedures. Two years later, after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, Dician was still in command of the ship, and took it to Ziost in search of the Sith Meditation Sphere known simply as Ship. (LF7, FJ2)

Poison Spitter
This subspecies of nightspider was named for its ability to "spit" its poison at its prey. (SWG2P)

Poista, Elea
This woman was a top exex at Bespin Motors, but she also ran a lucrative black-market sales operation under the alias Kel. She started her career in a shipping company on Ralltiir before joining Bespin Motors. It was rumored that she as the key figure in bringing Molly's Merchants in to help slice Incom Industries' computers and funnel funds into Bespin Motors' own accounts. (GG2)

Pojo, Kan
This man served in the naval forces of the Old Republic, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. A noted marksman and sharpshooter, Pojo was the small-arms instructor aboard the training vessel Overt, and was the fleet shooting champion in a variety of weapons categories. Many beings claimed he was as good as, if not better than, Phow Ji. During the Republic's attempt to eliminate pirates in the Vergesso Asteroid Field, Pojo volunteered to lead the party that attacked the pirates' domed hideout. After eliminating a large percentage of the pirates singlehandedly, Pojo confronted the two surviving pirates and gave them a chance to escape. He holstered his weapon and gave the pirates a chance to attack. Unfortunately, when he went to draw his blaster, the weapon shorted out, and Pojo was killed by a knife through the throat. His example served as a warning to new recruits, to never rely or depend on technology to the point of becoming careless. (DSTR)

A native of the planet Lanthrym, this man swore he'd never live in poverty again after leaving the planet. To this end, he became one of the more infamous conmen of Elrood Sector during the height of the New Order. He hung around in Coynite starports, appearing to be a gullible though likable young man. He then lured people to him and bilked them out of their savings. He often presented himself as a guide, hoping to gain the confidence of others in order to get close to them. (PG3)

Pol dwag
This was the traditional greeting used by a Yuuzhan Vong when meeting with a peer of equal rank or caste. (NJOSB)

This form of pollen was actually a mild stimulant. Many beings snorted the yellowish dust, believing that it heightened a being's ability to think and reason. (SFE)

Polag, Bennbus
This pompous Arconan entrepreneur made his money in just about every shady scheme known in the galaxy. He worked his way up from a lowly pickpocket to becoming the leader of a backwater planet's primary settlement. As he gained experience as a leader and politician, Polag cleaned up his businesses and became more respectable. During the Galactic Civil War, the Alliance pursued Polag during their search for agent Nallok. Polag agreed to help the agents, but instead sold them to the Imperial forces on the planet. (IA)

Polhraz
This was an alien race which was sometimes considered to be stupid-looking. (SWT)

Police Cruiser Backup Unit
Used by planetary police forces during the last decades of the Old Republic, this was a droid-piloted police cruiser that provided backup to organic police officers. This vehicle, known as a PCBU, was originally developed to assist the Coruscant law enforcement agency, especially in areas such as the Crimson Corridor. The main body of the PCBU was a small disc, with a transparisteel bubble on the top that protected the droid driver. The droid was often a 501-Z police droid, although the use of these droids was not exclusive. Around the outer edge of the main body were various weapons emplacements, which could be spun into position as needed. Most PCBUs were armed with a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons, although a few were armed with T-21 repeating blasters for more dangerous assignments. Each vehicle contained a collection of sensors, scanners, and disruptors that allowed the droid pilot to track down and apprehend a suspect. (WOA21, CN1)

Police Special
This fast-moving airspeeder was developed by SoroSuub for use by law enforcement agencies, during the years following the Alliance-Confederation War. The SoroSuub Police Special was armed with light repeating blasters that had limited range, forcing police officers to use its maneuverability and speed to apprehend criminals. However, many police agencies complained that only a skilled pilot could handle the speeder. (MF)

Policebot
This was the generic term used to describe the military automata that were employed as a security and police force on Coruscant by the Galactic Alliance, during the years following the Swarm War. (LF3)

Policy and Resources Council
This division of the Galactic Alliance governmental structure was responsible for establishing the policies and mechanisms for providing government and military personnel with the materials and supplies they needed to carry out their jobs. During the height of the Corellia-GA War, the Policy and Resources Council claimed to be bound by the law when basis military supplies were not available to the front-line troops. Jacen Solo worked to enact the Legislative and Regulations Statue Amendment, which gave himself - as well as Cha Niathal and Cal Omas - the ability to "relieve regulatory burdens… without the need to refer the issue to committees, councils, or even the full Senate," provided that their requests were within budgetary constraints. (LF5)

Polis Massa
This remote, Outer Rim world was once the homeworld of the Eellayin race. However, the planet suffered an unknown cataclysm many millennia before the Clone Wars. As a result, Polis Massa was torn apart, leaving several large planetoids and an asteroid field as a reminder of the planet's existence. The Eellayin civilization was destroyed in the event. During the final decades of the Old Republic, a group of beings from the Subterrel Sector of the galaxy established an archaeological preserve in the asteroid field, hoping to learn more about the planet and its inhabitants. These beings eventually established the Local Dig settlement on the largest fragment of the planet, known simply as Polis Massa, and came to call themselves Polis Massans. During the last years of the Old Republic, the outpost on Polis Massa was nomimally loyal to the Republic and the Jedi Order, and it was here that Bail Organa and Yoda fled after Emperor Palpatine issued Order Sixty-Six. They made contact with Obi-Wan Kenobi, who brought the dying Padme' Amidala Skywalker to Polis Massa from Mustafar. The Polis Massan medics did their best, but were unable to stop Padme' from dying, seemingly from a broken heart. The Polis Massans and their medical droids were able to save the children Padme' had been carrying, which were turned over to Obi-Wan and Yoda. However, information on Polis Massa was discovered by Inquisitor Malorum, who would have turned it over to Darth Vader himself if Obi-Wan and Ferus Olin hadn't intercepted it. (OWS, VD3, LJ1, SWDB)

Polis Massan
Although not native to the former planet of Polis Massa, this race of diminutive, humanoid beings spent so much time doing archaeological work in the surrounding asteroid belt that they came to believe themselves to be the descendants of the Eellayin - the true Polis Massans. Originally known as the Kallidahin, modern Polis Massans had short, thin bodies that gave them the appearance of being children. The most unique feature of a modern Polis Massan was its face, which lacked a nose and mouth. Only a pair of tiny, deep-focus eyes broke the monotony of the pale, osmotic membrane that served as a face. Each of the modern Polis Massan's two hands had three fingers and an opposable thumb. The skin of a Polis Massan was quite thick, and grew outward from the main core, creating growth rings that showed an individual's age. The skin of the average Polis Massan was similar in many respects to that of aquatic mammals throughout the galaxy, leading many xenobiologists to believed that they were originally descended from cetaceans. Although modern Polis Massans were mute, they managed to communicate with each other by using a limited form of telepathy. When necessary, or when speaking with other races, Polis Massans used sign language or speech technology to provide a greater depth of vocabulary.

Like the Eellayin, the genetic stock of the modern Polis Massan people could be traced to a planet in the Subterrel Sector of the galaxy. In an effort to assist with learning more about the former inhabitants of Polis Massa, the modern Polis Massans traveled to Kamino to learn about cloning techniques. These techniques were brought back to the Local Dig settlement, where the Polis Massans recreated ancient lifeforms from any scrap of genetic material they discovered. As a people, the Polis Massans were known for their loyalty and their ability to keep secrets. These traits were never more obvious than when the Polis Massans at the Local Dig site kept the secret of Padme' Amidala's delivery of her twins, Luke and Leia, in the wake of the Clone Wars. (OWS, VD3, SWDB, SWCL, NEGA, WOTC)

Polith System
This star system contained the planet Thyferra. (PH)

Political Gain Operation
Known as a PGO, this was the term used to decribe certain terrorist missions that were carried out by the special forces units of the Imperial Army. A PGO was often undertaken on a planet where loyalties tended to lie with the Alliance, or would waver depending on the current political situation in the galaxy. The goal of a PGO was to cause trouble for a planetary government by staging acts of terrorism that would later be traced to the Alliance or another enemy force. As these terrorist attacks became more devastating, the local government would be forced to ask for help from the Empire, at which time Imperial forces could be lawfully stationed on a planet. These forces would ensure martial law and maintain the Empire's interest on the planet, while they arrested known or suspected rebels or supporters of the Alliance. Additionally, the PGO attacks would come to an end, allowing the Empire to declare that the terrorism had been halted. (ISB)

Politrix
This red-haired woman was a Jedi Knight during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. She was a good friend of Jang Li-Li during this time.

This Poll was a refugee fleeing the battles of the Galactic Civil War, in which the Empire murdered his wife and children. A quirky old codger with a heart of gold, the new Poll was also secretly sheltering homeless Arconans, giving them new identities away from Imperial eyes. Unut was not happy when Wioslea bought Luke Skywalker's old landspeeder for 2,000 credits, but worked through his anger. (GG7, CCG2, SWJ11)

Pollar, Reme

Pollard
This Alliance Lieutenant participated in the assassination attempt on Grand Moff Tarkin, and assisted in the rescue of Ackbar. He admired Ackbar's strength, and worked with the Mon Calamari at every turn possible. Pollard worked in what he deemed "important secondary roles," even though he was a natural-born leader. He worked with Ackbar on the Shantipole Project, and strongly distrusted Salin Glek. His face was heavily scarred from an unknown accident. Lieutenant Pollard was later assigned to Admiral Ackbar's staff aboard the Home One, where he often served as the devil's advocate to the plans that were developed for attacks against the Empire.

When Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, and the crew of the Rebel One were late to a rendezvous, it was Lieutenant Pollard who questioned Ackbar's plan to remain at the rendezvous until they returned. Pollard stated that the rest of the Alliance's ships were running low on fuel, and that the fleet was an easy target for any Imperial forces that might stumble upon their location. Even after a signal from Tungo Li indicated that the crew of the Rebel One was desparately trying to destroy Bannistar Station, Lieutenant Pollard called for a calm reaction to the situation. However, he was not without concern for the stranded rebels, and offered Nera Dantels and the members of Dagger Squadron a chance to test out their B-Wings on a rescue mission. When Dantels volunteered to fly one of Dagger Squadron's B-Wings, Pollard reluctantly agreed to the plan, although he threatened to shoot her down if her inexperience as a fighter pilot jeopardized another member of the squadron. During the assault on Bannistar Station, Pollard went by the callsign Black Dagger. (SFS, SWRSV)

However, the pollinators were also very territorial, and were known to defend their home flowerbeds with vigor. (GMR8)

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

Pollux
This man was the captain of the starship Nebula Chaser. Although not overly loyal to the Jedi Knights, Pollux agreed to help Alema and Numa Rar evacuate the natives of New Plympto when the Yuuzhan Vong destroyed the planet's ecosystem. He paid for his actions when the Nebula Chaser was ambushed by the Yuuzhan Vong. In an effort to save the two Jedi, Pollux refused to admit they were aboard the ship. In return for his insolence, the Yuuzhan Vong cut off his ear and killed the crew before taking control of the refugees. Captain Pollux was later killed when the Nebula Chaser was destroyed. (SBS)

It eventually became a textile manufacturing site for much of the Anoat Sector. Polmanar blockaded by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War, when the narcotic effects of reedug were discovered. The Imperial occupation of the planet was met with fierce opposition from the natives, who succeeded in keeping the Empire at bay using guerilla tactics. The guerillas were supported by the Alliance from the base on Isis, and the gunship Handree was en route to Polmanar when it was hijacked by Imperial forces. In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, the Empire abandoned their base on Polmanar. (IC, WOA33)

Polneya
This name was given to the Grannan inhabitants of the planet Polneye. (SOL)

Polneye
This was the second planet in the Koornacht Cluster overtaken by the Yevetha during the Great Purge. It was known for its wonderful garden cities until the Yevetha laid waste to the planet. During the Galactic Civil War, Polneye was the site of an Imperial transshipment port, for its high-altitude cloud cover was extremely thick. This hid the ground operations, which included a flight of TIE Interceptors. When the Empire crumbled, the troops there abandoned the planet, leaving it to the civilian population. The humans tightened their belts and eked out a surprisingly prosperous existence until the Yevetha arrived. The Polneyi were the only group to fight back against the Yevetha, but their resistance was quickly routed. The cities on Polneye were arranged around the central spaceport, and numbered sequentially around the four points of the compass (9 South, 14 East, etc.). (BTS)

The plan worked quite well, and Polpot assume the role of full Chancellor after his boss suddenly resigned. Unknown to Polpot, he had become the target of 8t88, who considered Polpot's act to be one of "disfigurment," and rooted in anti-droid prejudices. During a trip to Mawan, Chancellor Polpot was killed in a fatal accident that happened to coincide with a sighting of 8t88, although the droid appeared to have the head of an EV-series droid at the time.

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

Poola
This unusual plant, which was native to the planet Rodia, was favored for its glowing blossoms. These globe-shaped blossoms produced a fragrant scent that was not overpowering, and many wealthy Rodians placed Poola blossoms in their homes to add a pleasant, freshening scent to the air. (CWTV08)

This young human was a member of the Jedi Order's Agricultural Corps, during the final years of the Old Republic. Nam and Jambe Lu were among the small group of Jedi that was rescued by Roan Shryne and the crew of the Drunk Dancer, in the wake of the Clone Wars. They had been on an agricultural mission to Bonadan, and were returning home, when the command was issued to clone troopers across the galaxy to execute Order 66. After escaping the attack, the humans heard the 913 call that was issued by Siadem Forte, and joined the Jedi Knight on Dellalt before fleeing and being rescued by Shryne. The group managed to survive a brief stopover on Jaguada's moon, before Olee Starstone set off on her own, and Shryne remained with the crew of the Drunk Dancer. Although Poorf had deferred to Shryne's leadership, he chose to follow Starstone's lead and set off with her to locate any other surviving Jedi. On Kashyyyk, the group of Jedi hoped to learn more about the fates of Yoda, Quinlan Vos, and Luminara Unduli, but were instead confronted by Darth Vader himself. After Vader injured Klossi Anno and killed both Forte and Iwo Kulka, Lu and Poorf bravely tried to attack the Dark Lord themselves. Their lack of combat skills was immediately apparent, as Vader cut off Lu's right arm and Poorf's right leg in a single slash of his crimson lightsaber. Both Poorf and Lu were rescued by Starstone and the crew of the Drunk Dancer. After escaping Kashyyyk, Poorf decided to sign up as an agriculturalist attached to an Imperial project, where he hoped to learn as much as he could about the Empire and sow dissent from within. (RDV)

Poot, Drogue
This man was Una Poot's first husband. An adventurous man, he was a gas miner by trade. He survived their mission to Ord Segra, where they were trying to deliver a cargo of culslon gas but refused to pay the mandatory bribe, but later died while prospecting in the Dragonflower Nebula. It was believed that Drogue had some sensitivity to the Force, but he was never trained to use it. His death occurred some thirty years before the Battle of Hoth. (SWJ6)

Poot, Una
This Alliance resistance leader once delivered a cargo of culslon gas to Ord Segra. When she and her husband Drogue chose not to pay the 7% "bribe" for clearance, the planetary officials opened fire on them. They escaped by making a blind jump into hyperspace, and ended up at Silver Station. They lived there ever since, delivering weapons to Alliance forces. Her husband Drogue had some sensitivity with the Force, but died before he could realize anything from it. Una continued to supply the Alliance with information and goods, marrying twice more and surviving both husbands. After Toalar Yalom Yalom fled Druckenwell and delivered Daye Azur-Jamin to her, Una trained the young man as an Alliance operative. It was Una Poot who ordered the Ranats on Silver Station eradicated, setting off a small war within the station. (SWJ6, SWJ10)

Pop 'n' Drop
This specialized obstacle was used on swoopchasing courses. Similar to the Grand Moff Bank, the Pop 'n' Drop was a tall bank measuring 100 meters or more in height. It was topped with a solid permacrete wall over which the riders must fly. Beyond the wall, the bank dropped off sharply, often plunging 20 meters before forming the "other side" of the bank. Between the two sides of the bank was a ditch up to 30 meters across, adding to the dangerous interchange of gravitational forces acting on a swoop. Outlawed racecourses often employ a variation on the Pop 'n' Drop known as the Suicide Peak. (BSS)

Popular Automaton
This respected trade holomag chronicled the latest advancements in droids and droid technology, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (NEGD)

Popular Taste Offset
This was the term used to describe the chemical mixtures that were developed for taste converters, and which provided the consumer with the sensation of tasting something completely different than what they were actually eating. These PTOs were developed to match the current trends in restuarants and fast food chains, and allowed even the thorax of a scurrier to taste like roasted bantha ribs. (GPB)

Por Forian
Manufacturers of starship power cells. (RM)

Por Ral, Nij
This portly man worked was a professor of ancient linguistics during the height of the New Order. His knowledge of ancient civilizations led him to be retained by the SoroSuub Corporation to assist with the excavation of a three-mile-long wall on the planet Dorlo, a mission which was condoned only because SoroSuub hoped to later strip the planet of its natural resources. SoroSuub hoped that the runes carved into the wall would provide clues to the locations of valuable resources. The rescue team of Jedi Knight Qu Rahn managed to convince Pro Ral to join their effort in repelling the Imperial forces which arrived on Dorlo to assist in the planet's subjugation, and Por Ral agreed to help as long as it helped keep the relics he discovered from being destroyed. When the team was captured by the Dark Jedi Jerec, it was Por Ral who pleaded for his own life by telling Jerec that it was Rahn who had information on the location of the Valley of the Jedi. Disgusted by his begging, Yun killed Por Ral with a swift lightsaber blow to the head. (RAG)

Porax-38
This fighter, known simply as the P-38, was developed by Buuper Torsckil Abbey Devices on the planet Utapau, during the final years of the Old Republic. Measuring 12.7 meters in length, the catamaran-like P-38 had two cylindrical drive unit connected by a platform-like wing. In the center of this wing was the cockpit, which housed the pilot and little else. Armed with a pair of high-powered laser cannons set just off each drive unit, the P-38 was the primary defense craft used by the Utapau Skyforce to protect their homeworld. These ships were designed to be piloted by an Utai, and were given a Class 2 hyperdrive that allowed a pilot to travel within the local sector. The navigational computer was hard-coded with this local data, eliminating the need for an astromech. The primary attribute of the Porax-38 starfighter was its sensor system, which included high-powered jamming equipment that could greatly affect the performance of enemy droid starfighters. It was believed that the MagnaGuard droids who served General Grievous during the Clone Wars flew Porax-38 starfighters on various missions. (X3, SSOG, CWTV07)

Porcellus
A chef who worked for Jabba the Hutt in the Court of the Fountain restaurant. He was probably most famous for his fried beignets, although Porcellus took great pride in other parts of his ever-changing menu. It also kept him alive, for Jabba was always wanting to try new dishes. When Jabba retreated to his palace in the Tatooine desert, he took Porcellus with him. Porcellus lived in constant fear, though, that one of his dished would upset the Hutt's normally strong stomach. At that point, Porcellus felt he would be fed to the rancor. After a number of deaths in Jabba's palace were discovered, Porcellus was told by Jabba that his desires to poison Jabba had hexed the food. The individuals found dead ate food that was destined for Jabba. Porcellus hid in the cabinets, fearing a reprisal from Jabba. When he was later released by Malakili, Porcellus learned that Jabba was dead. The two friends fled to Mos Eisley, where they established the Crystal Moon restaurant. (TME, TJP)

Pordy's relationship with Fivvle went back many years, and continued well after the Battle of Endor. (MC57, PH)

Poressi System
This star system was located several light-years from the Fath System. When the Republic warship Leveler fled the Fath System, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, Captain Gilad Pellaeon had hoped to jump a short distance from JanFathal and then return quickly, as soon as the ship's weapons were operational. However, the central chrono software that fed data to the ship's navigational computer was damaged, and the Leveler ended up in the Poressi System. (CWNOP)

Porew, Tawn
This woman was an Alliance agent who joined the rebellion after a group of Imperial stormtroopers killed her parents for not surrendering their farm and property to the local Imperial governor. She tried to exact revenge on the governor for her parents' deaths, but was captured and imprisoned. The local Alliance cell helped her escape, and she pledged herself to helping the Alliance. She was assigned to Commander Peck's unit as a demolitons expert shortly before the Battle of Yavin, and served as one of the primary agents on the planet Rafft. (SWJ3)

Porg
This Trandoshan bounty hunter tried to capture Kyle Katarn on Nar Shaddaa, in an effort to prevent the Alliance agent from recovering any information which had been stolen from his father's farm on Sulon. The Dark Jedi Jerec had placed the bounty on Katarn's head, in an effort to ensure nobody prevented him from reaching the Valley of the Jedi. Porg, however, was not the only hunter searching for Katarn. In a three-way firefight, Porg was shot and killed by an Aqualish bounty hunter, who was later dispatched by Katarn. (RAG)

Porgrak
This was a species of loud, noisy creature which was native to the planet Ansion. (APS)

Porgryn

As a youth, Porgryn was badly injured when she breathed in toxic gases during an accident. The gases scarred her lungs, leaving her barely able to breathe. The injuries forced her to abandon her dream of being a warrior, and Porgryn fled her homeworld for the relative obscurity of the Wayfar settlement on Tatooine. There, she was befriended by Loruna Scathe, who took her in as a member of the Azure Cabal. Porgryn built her reputation within the mercenary band as a covert operative, and her skills allowed her to move up the ranks to a position with the Azure Cabal's inner circle. (SWGAL)

Porkins, Jek
An Alliance pilot killed during the Battle of Yavin, Jek Porkins was a native of the planet Bestine IV until the Empire evicted the entire population in order to establish a base there. He hunted sink-crabs there, honing his piloting skills much like Luke Skywalker did on Tatooine. Later, he became a free trader, and was so employed when the Empire invaded. He became so angry with the Empire that he immediately turned his sights on the Alliance. He was assigned to the Yellow Aces squadron at Tierfon before volunteering for duty during the Battle of Yavin. He was initially denied a pilot's job in the battle, until Wes Janson came down with the Hesken Fever. Porkins was moved up to fill Janson's spot, and was assigned to Red Squadron. Unfortunately, Porkins was the first pilot killed in the Battle. For his heroic volunteerism and dedication to the Alliance, Porkins was posthumously awarded the Kenobi Medallion. He was the first recipient of the award. Note that Porkins' first name was given as Tono in the Marvel Comics adaptation of Star Wars: A New Hope. (E4, MTS, JS, CCG, MC6)

This race of beings was discovered by the Old Republic just after the Great Hyperspace War. However, they quickly became addicted to ryll spice, which drove them into homicidal rages. Many races who feared attacks from the Porporites hired the Ganks to eliminate the strange beings. The elimination of the Porporites sparked the rampage known as the Gank Massacres, and was accomplished in a relatively short time. (NECH)

Porpu, Zan
This Alliance Y-Wing pilot was lost in the Esstran Cordon, a region of space that was not supposed to be dangerous, during the year following the Battle of Hoth. The Alliance turned to their new-found allies, the Bothans, in hopes that the Bothan SpyNet had any information on his disappearance. It was believed that Porpu inadvertently dropped out of hyperspace into a secret Imperial testing ground, and his Y-Wing was shot to pieces. Porpu was believed to have ejected before the fighter exploded, but his whereabout were never discovered. Many feared that he had been captured and interrogated by Imperial forces. (RESB)

This large, Vorzydiak male served as the Chairman of Vorzyd 4, some eleven years before the Battle of Naboo. He petitioned the Jedi Council to act as mediators in a dispute between his homeworld and Vorzyd 5, some eleven years before the Battle of Naboo. Like his fellow Vorzydiaks, Chairman Port believed that the natives of Vorzyd 5 were sabotaging the manufacturing facilities of Vorzyd 4, in an effort to undermine the leadership of the Vorzydiaks in the Vorzyd Cluster. He was unaware of the fact that the sabotage was the work of the Freelies, who were being led by his own son, Grath. In the wake of the bombing of the Multycorp headquarters and the death of Flip, Chairman Port agreed to work with the Freelies and the governments of Vorzyd 4 and Vorzyd 5 to amend the rules pertaining to the workweek and try to allow for more free time. (TTW)

Port Bianco
This was the name of the shadowport which was originally founded by Lamuu Bianco as a storage and repair facility for the starships in his pirate fleet. When the Old Republic was replaced by the Empire, and smuggling became more and more profitable, the shadowport was opened to all spacers, provided that they had an invitation. The invitation provided the coordinates of a hyperspace bouy in the Tamber System, as well as a password to access the memory of the bouy. The bouy contained the final jump coordinates to Lammax, provided that the correct password was entered. Uninvited guests who didn't know the password to the shadowport were given fake coordinates that led them through the heart of the Tamber System's primary star. The bouy itself was protected from tampering by a sensor system that detects if it was captured by a tractor beam or gravity well. If captured, the bouy was designed to self-destruct. (LOE)

Port Haven
This planet, the third of seven planets located in the remote Whendyll System, was known as a place where spacers and smugglers could to go "get away" and not be hassled. Its location was a carefully-guarded secret, and to obtain them from a fellow smuggler was a sign of your trustworthiness and the respect you had earned. It was a temperate world covered with lush jungles and tall mountains, with sandy beaches along the coastline. The smugglers' base was maintained by Hallomar, with help from Mister Mxil. The planet was originally settled some 250 years before the Galactic Civil War, by a group of Salliche Ag idealists who wanted to get away from the bureaucracy of the galaxy. The original colony was abandoned when many of the settlers were killed by the creatures which inhabited the jungles. The smuggling colony was based on hospitality and good-will, with spacers taking only what they needed and replacing it with whatever they could spare. (SESB, PSPG)

Port Pevaria
This public spaceport was located near Coronet, on the planet Corellia, during the year following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Unlike the Elmas Private Spaceport, Port Pevaria was controlled by the criminal underworld of Corellia. Because the spaceport controllers had no direct ties to the Corellian government, Port Pevaria became a haven for smugglers and Galactic Alliance operatives who were trying to work on Corellia, after Thrackan Sal-Solo tried to secede the Corellian System from the Galactic Alliance. (LF4)

This was an inflatable dome that could be carried like a backpack, but could provide protection for certain harsh environments. A small power supply allowed the user to regulate the temperature within the biosphere, providing heat or cold as needed. (MIS5)

Portable Computer
This generic term refers to any small, self-contained computer systems. Unlike pocket computers, which only allow the user to access data on a large mainframe, portables allow the user to gain control of the mainframe. They were expensive, and were redundant if you own a droid, but they don't get tempermental and don't require regular memory wipes. Portable computers have two primary components: the power supply and onboard memory. A flip-up display provides access to the keyboard. (CFG)

Portage Moon
This was the name used by the Aqualish to describe the lunar cycle under which many of the ocean-going vessels return to their home port. (PH)

Portal Desolate
This strange device was left behind by the Order of the Terrible Glare on Garn. The holographic image of Rur was maintained here, as a guardian and vindicator of the Order's work, should the Jedi Knights return to Garn.

This well-heeled, tattooed X'Ting was the director of energy for the Five Families of the planet Ord Cestus, during the height of the Clone Wars. She was usually accompanied by her husband, the Lord Por'Ten, during the meetings of the Five Families. She and her husband were among the Five Families members who were kidnapped by Nemonus, but were rescued by Obi-Wan Keonib. Later, Lady and Lord Por'Ten were killed, along with most members of the Five Families, when the ARC trooper Jangotat infiltrated their secret bunker on the Kibo Plateau and ordered the Nexu to fire on his location. (TCD)

Por'Ten, Lord
This X'Ting was the mate of Lady Por'Ten, and often accompanied her to the meetings of the Five Families during the height of the Clone Wars. Unlike his wife, Lord Por'Ten was an overweight individual who clearly enjoyed some of life's more carnal pleasures. He was among the Five Families members who were kidnapped by Nemonus, but was eventually rescued by Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Their team made sure that shipments of blasters and other military supplies reached bvarious rebel cells in the Shelsha Sector of the galaxy, rerouting or mislabeling certain cargoes to make sure they reached the right destination.

Like the rest of his team, Porter hated the fact that the BloodScar Pirates often raided their facilities. He was alerted to a possible ambush when he saw a swoop gang race out of a BloodScar freighter, and confirmed their presence when he found a shoulder patch from one of the swoop riders. In an unlikely scenario, the rebel band was saved from a BloodScar attack by a group of renegade stormtroopers, led by Daric LaRone, who had deserted their posting aboard the Reprisal.

Porter and his band later agreed to meet directly with Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, to discuss further reinforcement for the Alliance cell on Drunost. (A)

Port-Esta Queen
Boba Fett tracked Abal Karda to this ship, but was unable to capture Karda before he escaped to Star Station 12. Fett followed the ship and caught up with her crew on Vestar, but was only able to gather the fact that Karda was traveling as a Vetsaari Nomad. (EOE)

Portha
This Trandoshan was living in the Invisible Sector, working for Palar, when the Rogue Squadron infiltrated the planet. He agreed to help the Rogues in their attempt to sabotage the Empire's computer cores. The goal was to plant codes into the cores that would allow Winter to tap into the Imperial network. However, Portha mistakenly dropped the sabotaged data core, and it was returned to the pile. Wedge Antilles quickly worked to resolve the situation by substituting another sabotaged core, but the plan had already been leaked by Zekka Thyne. Imperial forces stepped in and raided the Palar plant. (WG)

Portmaster's Pavilion
Once the center of the city of Redhaven, on the planet Rhommamool, the Pavilion was bombed out during the early days of Rhommamoolian secession from Osarian rule. In its place, which became the center of the Square of Hopeful Redemption, was a pit into which droids and other automata were thrown by the Red Knights of Life. Once a collection of droids had been formed, the natives of Redhaven dropped rocks and stones on the droids, destroying them for their "defiance" of natural life. (VP)

Portminian
This civilian transport vessel was one of many such ships that were contracted by the Empire to carry non-military personnel to the construction site of the first Death Star, during the early years of the New Order. (DSTR)

Portmoak Sector
An area of the galaxy located in the Outer Rim Territories, Portmoak Sector was under Imperial control during the Galactic Civil War when the controlling Moff died under mysterious circumstances. (GG9, CRO)

Portom, Lom
This Advozse was a member of Iaco Stark's board of directors, overseeing the Stark Commerical Combine some ten years before the Battle of Naboo. (SHW)

Portrait Holo
A small cube which projects a single holographic image. It was basically a three-dimensional photograph. (COTF)

A planet known for its beautiful, cultural museums and wonderfully manicured gardens, Porus Vida was devastated in an attack by Colonel Cronus, during the early years of the New Republic. (DS)

Poshtish
This was a term used to describe something which was nonsensical. (GFT)

Positive Ecology
This Chandrilan regulation was established to help farmers and the producers of foodstuffs to package and sell foods that were organically produced, or were produced in an environmentally-friendly manner. Grains, dairy products, meats, fruits, and other products were given a seal of approval that marked them as part of the Positive Ecology system, and these foodstuffs were of much higher quality than other, non-regulated goods. (WOTC)

Positronic Brain
This was a generic term used to describe the complex "brain" systems that were used in most higher-order droids. These types of central processors were most often found in medical droids and protocol droids, which had to be able to think for themselves in real-time situations. (CN1)

Posondum, Nil
This small, balding man was once the head accountant for Trans-Galactic Gaming Enterprises Corporation. Prior to joining Trans-Galactic, Posondum worked for the Hutt-controlled Trans-Zone Development and Exploitation Consortium, managing the earnings of a series of skefta dens in the Outer Rim Territories. On the side, he also arranged under-the-table business deals with anyone who could pay the credits. Among his clients was Kodir of Kuhlvult, who contracted Posondum to hire someone to kidnap her sister Kateel and rease any memories she might have, then lose her. Posondum placed the fees for this job in the escrow accounts of Kud'ar Mub'at, and It was Mub'at who eventually hired Ree Duptom to do the job. In the meantime, in a daring move, Posondum had much of the Hutt syndicate's access codes, credit-laundering schemes, and odds-rigging systems stored in a cortical data splint shortly before he left the Hutts to work for Trans-Galactic. His new employer paid a huge sum for the data. He also took with him a huge sum of embezzled credits, stored in remote banks and financial outlets. However, the Hutts weren't very happy with his departure, and established a 12,500-credit bounty on his head. This bounty was claimed by Boba Fett, who had to evade being caught by Bossk and Zuckuss in order to deliver the accountant to Kud'ar Mub'at for exchange. (MA, HM)

Poss'Nomin
Native to the planet Illarreen, this species of humanoids was distinguished by its three eyes and shovel-like jaws. They were discovered about 100 years before the Battle of Yavin by a spice trader who decided to investigate Illarreen. Their civilization had developed to the point that their nations had started warring against each other when the planet was discovered by spice traders. The Poss'Nomin ceased their fighting to communicate with the off-worlders, and soon discovered that there was much more to worry about than their petty squabbles. The Poss'Nomin put down their weapons and began to integrate themsevles into the galactic culture. The warring nations collapsed their boundaries and joined to form a single, planetary government. (AE)

Post
This Alliance escort shuttle group was deployed to defend the captured space station D-34, during the weeks that followed the Battle of Hoth. Most of the Post shuttles managed to escape an attack by Imperial forces, but station D-34 was eventually surrendered to the Empire. (TIEP)

Post, Avan
This Jedi Master from Chandrila served with distinction during the Clone Wars, along with his young Padawan, Olana Chion. The fates of both Post and Chion were never truly discovered, although it was believed that Chion died in the attack on the Jedi Temple led by Darth Vader. Years later, Corran Horn discovered Post's image in the bowels of the Galactic Museum, during his escape from the Lusankya facility. (KT, SWDB)

Post, Ilir
This young man was a contemporary of Soontir Fel, and was the spoiled son of Fel's employers. When Fel rescued Pamr from one of Post's attacks, Post's father saw to it that Fel was shipped off to the Imperial Academy on Carida. Hal Horn pressed the investigation after Fel waqs shipped off, and had Post arrested. Post was eventually convicted and sent to the spice mines of Kessel, despite the efforts of AGR's leaders. Post's hatred of the Fels grew quite strong during his imprisonment. Several years later, after Soontir Fel defected to the New Republic, Corran Horn revealed that Ilir Post was the leader of the kidnappers who took young Fyric Fel. Post believed that he had found a way to get back at the Fels, by exposing Soontir and his wife, Wynssa Starflare. When Wes Janson, Hobbie Klivian, and Plourr Ilo tried to intercept the kidnappers, Post thought he had a chance to collect on two accounts: Fyric's and Plourr's, whom Post believed was wanted back on Eiattu. Later, hidden in his estate, Post tried to bluff his way out of an arrest by holding Fyric fel over a balcony. Todr Fel then shot Post in the forehead, and Plourr used her athletic skills to save Fyric from his two-story fall. (MBF, HXW, XWFT)

Poste, Flitcher
This small-time pickpocket and thief made a living on Nar Shaddaa, during the years following the Alliance-Confederation War. Poste was a young man about twenty-five years old, distinguished by his heavy-set body and his unruly, blond hair. He more or less raised himself in the slums of the Vertical City, and learned how to survive on his own, stealing or foraging for whatever supplies he needed. When Tobb Jadak arrived on the moon, Poste decided to see what he could steal from the man. However, when another group tried to eliminate Jadak, Poste found himself helping the newcomer escape from the thugs. He allowed Jadak to take the wheel of his speeder and maneuver the vehicle to facilitate their escape, and was amazed at his skills with the vehicle. After avoiding the other thugs, Poste decided to help Jadak, and managed to locate Bammy Decree. With Decree's help, Jadak was able to discover that the Stellar Envoy had been rebuilt as the Second Chance. Bammy also gave him the name of Rej Taunt, who was incarcerated at the Carcel prison facility. Poste was then surprised when Jadak offered him the chance to accompany him on his mission to track down the Stellar Envoy. Having never been off Nar Shaddaa, Poste agreed to the deal, which included a daring mission to steal a Colicoid witness from a trial on Holess.

Jadak's search led them to the planet Vaced, where the two posed as reporters for the Coruscant Journal. They had learned that a ship matching the description of the Stellar Envoy had once been owned by Quip Fargil, who was now living on Vaced. Fargil was a bit surprised when he learned that Poste and Jadak were not traveling with the ship's owners, but it was Poste who nearly gagged on a glass of moonshine when Fargil explained that the owners were Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo. Poste knew of Solo's exploits with the Millennium Falcon, but he had no way of telling Jadak without exposing their true identities. After taking their leave of Fargil, Poste explained the situation, and the pair traveled to the spaceport to see the ship for themselves. When Jadak set off to impersonate Fargil for an interview with the Solos, Flitcher tried to steal the Millennium Falcon. He was forced to deactivate C-3PO, who had remained on the ship while the Solos went to meet Fargil, but was later apprehended by Cynner, who had been dispatched to Vaced by Lestra Oxic to intercept Tobb Jadak.

Poste fled into the ship's superstructure and hid, allowing Cynner and Remata to try and steal the ship. The ship, however, recognized that it was being stolen, and overrode their attempts and returned to Vaced. Jadak and Poste were able to continue their charade until Jadak tried to access the ship's navigational computer, which set off the strange device Allana Solo had found in the hold. This alerted the Solos that something was odd, and they confronted Jadak about it. He was forced to reveal their true identities, but in doing so, he gained their trust when he explained the truth behind his obsession with the Millennium Falcon. This led to the discovery that the device Allana Solo had found was coded to the phrase Jadak had learned decades earlier. When entered as a code, the phrase caused the device to communicate with the ship, launching it into hyperspace and taking them to Tandun Three. There, they were joined by Lestra Oxic in one of the many ruins that were found on the planet, and the group discovered the Insignia of Unity. 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 culd collapse on top of them. (MF)

Potam
This small, edible vegetable was native to the planet Ossus, where it was a favorite food of the gokob. It was also considered tasty by many humanoid beings. (LF6)

Potato Sticks
This was a fried snack food that was popular on the planet Corellia, during the height of the New Order. It was not uncommon to encounter a Corellian at large, and discover that they had a package of potato sticks in their pockets. (RF2)

Poteet
This man served the Imperial Navy as a Sector Admiral, during the early years of the New Order. It was Admiral Poteet who assigned the librarian droid P-RC-3 to the Death Star Library, in order to monitor the activities of Atour Riten. (DSTR)

Potentium
This controversial view of the Force was observed by many beings in the farthest reaches of the galaxy, especially during the last decades of the Old Republic. Also known as the Potentium Perspective, this view of the Force was originally attributed to Leor Hal, a Jedi Knight who believed that all living things held the potential to create newer and better living things. Hal believed that the Force was both the beginning and the end. Each birth represented a new form, and each death returned living beings to the Potentium for renewal. Believers in the Potentium theory held that the Force, and the galaxy in general, were given a master plan that was inherently good, and that there was no evil side to the Force. The Force did not push or draw an individual into evil. There was simply the Living Force. A being's position with in the Potentium, which was at once the beginning and the end of all things, could not be obscured by training and discipline.

Those who followed the Potentium belief claimed that the Jedi Masters of the Old Republic rejected its existence because accepting it would mean accepting that they weren't needed to combat evil. About a hundred years before the Battle of Naboo, the followers of the Potentium were forced out of the Jedi Order. The Jedi Council explained that the banished Jedi failed to understand that the Jedi Order was not about exploring the limits of the Force, but using what was known to protect peace and justice. The discovery of the living planet Zonama Sekot led many followers of the Potentium theory to believe that Sekot itself was the embodiment of the Living Force, created to safeguard its purity.

Historians in the years that followed the Clone Wars came up with several wild theories about the Potentium, including the notion that it was simply a Sith scheme to undermine the effectiveness of the Jedi Order. Other pointed out that Vergere might have adopted the ideals of the Potentium before twisting them to her own needs. Regardless of the theories, the new Jedi Order that was founded by Luke Skywalker continued to regard the Potentium as a kind of heresy. (RP, PJSB, UF, NECH, EGF, CN3)

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

Potentium Perspective
This was another name used to describe the Potentium. (CN3)

Poth
This carnivore, native to the planet Frithia, was known to commit suicide during periods of famine, so that its young could survive. (GCG)

Poth
This name was given to female Zabrak, and referred to a familial carnivore that was native to Frithia. (GCG)

Pothman, Triv
A native of the planet Chandrila and a former Imperial stormtrooper, Pothman was part of the Eye of Palpatine mission. He was a member of the 45-stormtrooper group sent to Pzob. He was the company's armorer, and could service weapons. Unfortunately, the Gamorreans didn't like having the Empire on Pzob, and began attacking the stormtroopers. They captured Pothman early in the fighting, and kept him alive because of his knowledge of weapons. They killed off all the other stormtroopers. When the power cells of their blasts drained, they stopped watching Pothman, who promptly escaped. He had lived by himself on Pzob ever since, keeping the Gamorreans at bay while collecting all of his company's unused armor. He discovers Luke Skywalker and Cray Mingla when they were forced to crashland on Pzob, after discovering the existence of an armed base in the asteroids near the Moonflower Nebula. (COJ)

Pothor System
The Alliance fleet was assembled here during Project Shantipole. (SFS)

Potin
This Imperial Naval Lieutenant, serving on the Interdictor-class ship Black Asp, was piloting the ship's shuttle when it tried to intercept the star yacht Pulsar Skate in the Chorax System. When the Rogue Squadron of X-Wings found them there, Potin fled in his shuttle before the battle reached him. Thus, he failed to obtain any real data on where the X-Wings came from, and he received a severe reprimand upon returnig to his ship. (XWN)

Potkin, Shadday
This dark-skinned woman was one of the many Jedi Masters who fought in the final battles of the Clone Wars. In the wake of the fighting, Master Shadday escaped the initial killings of the Jedi Purge, and put out a call to any surviving Jedi to rendezvous on Kessel. Her call was answered by several Jedi, including Bultar Swan and Koffi Arana, and they set about trying to determine a course of action to take against Darth Sidious and his new apprentice, Darth Vader. Unknown to the other Jedi, however, was the fact that Master Shadday had leaked information that the Jedi were meeting on Kessel, and that Obi-Wan Kenobi would be meeting with them. She believed that the information would eventually be discovered by Vader, and that Vader would travel to Kessel in an effort to exact revenge against the Jedi Master. Although Master Shadday was right about Vader's hunger for revenge, she badly underestimated his strength. Vader proved to be more than a match for the eight Jedi gathered on Kessel, and swiftly dispatched Master Shadday and her companions. (DAG, SWP)

Potolli
The dark brown fur of this creature, native to the planet Naboo, was often used in the creation of wondrous, full-length coats and the uniforms of royalty. (COD, CVD)

Potorr, Vax
This taciturn man served in the 407th Stormtrooper Division, based on Yinchorr, nearly a century after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. A former thief who lived in the underlevels of Coruscant, Potorr experienced the worst of the terraforming that remained decades after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He grew up believing that the Galactic Alliance was responsible for the pain and suffering he endured on Coruscant, and joined the Empire at the first chance he got.

Potorr later became a member of Joker Squad, and was one of the many stormtroopers who quietly questioned their loyalty to the "Empire," after the Sith Lord Darth Krayt took control of the galaxy and exiled the former Emperor, Roan Fel. This put the squad in a hard position when they were ordered to Borosk to prevent the 908th Stormtrooper Division from defecting. Although they all knew something was wrong, Potorr and the Jokers agreed to carry out the mission.

During the second day of fighting, they breached the 908th headquarters and made their way deeper into the fortress. They questioned why the 908th's troopers stationed themselves along walkways above the floor, until Potorr inadvertently stepped on a mine. Unable to prevent the explosion, Potorr was torn apart when the mine detonated. (SWLN)

Potts, Danzigorro
This ancient Jedi student was being trained during the years leading up to the First Great Schism, some 24,500 years before the Battle of Yavin. Potts was stationed on the planet Columus when word was received that General Xendor had been killed in battle, and the Legions of Lettow had been defeated. On Columus, Potts and the other Jedi with him were faced with thirty Dark Jedi, and the two forces were evenly matched. Ultimately, only Potts survived the battles that ensued, during which time he was forced to kill his friend Blendri and her apprentice. Blendi had left the Jedi Order with her master, Jook-jook H'broozin. Potts had defeated H'broozin on Corulag, but was unable to catch up to Blendri until they met on Columus. However, Potts was badly injured in the conflict, and eventually died on Columus. Before he died, Potts made a recording that described the events that led up to his death, and the recording later became known as the Columus Data Card. (EGF)

Potwa Beer
An alcoholic brew created by the Gamorreans. (COJ)

Pouchfish
Native to the shallow seas of Sedri, this fish keeps its eggs in a large brood pouch until they hatch. The Sedrians discovered that the pouchfish would open the brood pouch if the insides of its gills were rubbed, and they maintained schools of them for use as living containers. (SSR)

Pouchling
This was the Basic translation of the Tarasin word for an infant of their race. (LFCW)

Pouf Couch
This was a piece of form-fitting furniture manufactured during the New Republic. (SBS)

Pouffra Circuit
This was a relatively tame and fully-sanctioned series of podracing events, characterized by their fairly safe courses and low number of fatalities. It was also a proving ground for many of the racers who grew to prominence during the last decades of the Old Republic. However, many racers, including Ben Quadinaros, left the circuit too soon and floundered in the more dangerous and often cutthroat professional leagues. (IG1, PRT)

Pouncing Jax
This subspecies of the bounding jax used its ability to leap as a way to scare away predators. (SWG2P)

Pounder Mk1
This was a mid-level, starship blaster cannon that was produced by Kuat Drive Yards, during the early years of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Pounders Squadron
This team of mercenaries was based on the planet Taul, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ2)

Poundie
This unique subculture of the Minos Cluster consists of the operators of several huge smelting ships that traverse the Mestra System asteroid belt. The ships reduce the asteroid ores to shippable ingots, after miners and prospectors discover viable asteroids. During the New Order, the poundies took advantage of the lax Imperial presence to cheat miners out of their claims. The crimes of the poundies ranged from falsifying reports of the ore contents of an asteroid to simply crushing an entire asteroid - claim marker and all - without any warning to the miners. (GG6)

Pourstone
This viscous building material was used whenever speed was required in erecting a structure. It could be poured into virtually any shape, and maintained structural strength in many forms. It was often used in desert or cold environments, since it had excellent insulating properties. (E4N, E1A5, OWS)

Poussan, 'Ndrath
This young man was one of the Agamarians who were recruited to join the Alliance along with Keyan Farlander, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Distinguished by his red hair and small eyes, 'Ndrath joined the ranks of the starfighter pilots along with Farlander. 'Ndrath was killed in the Alliance attack on an Imperial fleet assigned to Operation Strike Fear near Briggia, when his X-wing collided with a TIE fighter. Farlander later questioned why Poussan was even flying during the mission, since he had been behind Farlander and others during training. Sunnar Jan-lo believed that Poussan was chosen because the Alliance needed pilots, regardless of skill or training, to carry out the mission. (XW, XWP)

Povanarian
This alien race was a member of the New Republic. (SOP)

Poviduze
This gas giant was located in the Expansion region. (SWJ5)

PowaTek
This small corporation produced several varieties of high-intensity power cells for use in all manner of ground-based vehicles, during the height of the New Order. PowaTek's AH-50 power cell was used by the Empire to power its AT-ST walkers. (CCS)

Power 5
This was Merr-Sonn's compact, heavy blaster pistol. It was a smaller weapon than the Flash 5 pistol, allowing for easier concealment. However, its lightweight construction also made the Power 5 slightly more fragile that the Flash 4. (EGW, AEG)

Power Blaster
This was a form of blaster weapon that required a dedicated power pack, rather than a portable power cell, to create the coherent bolts of energy that it fired. These weapons were developed on the planet Hapes, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Because of the size of the power pack, power blasters were difficult and combersome to fire, especially for any individual who had not been properly trained to fire one. (LF3)

Power Cane
This staff, produced by Palandrix Personal Protection Gear, was manufactured from high-density plastoids covered with exceptionally strong hardwoods, giving it the appearance of a simple walking cane. Hidden inside a spring-loaded compartment was a 30-centimeter stiletto blade which was attached to a power source, creating a lethal vibroblade. (GFT)

Power Chair
see Float Chair (NEGW)

Power Convertor
The ignition system for a starship, the power convertor was responsible for routing power from the main power core to the propulsion units. (E5)

Power Coupling
This starship component was responsible for directing power from the power core to the hyperdrive motivator and other key onboard systems. Each power coupling provided dedicated positive and negative axes for these systems, so that power could be properly polarized. If one axis was damaged, the power coupling would fail to operate properly, and would need to be replaced in order for its connected system to function correctly. (E5, TGD)

Power Crystal
Rhis rare form of Tasar Crystal was rumored to have specific powers, either magical or healing. There were eighteen known kinds of power crystals, ranging in color from amethyst to peridot, and with patterns like tiger's eye and malachite. (SWJ15)

Power Dispersion Unit
This device regulates the power output from a repulsorlift engine. Many such engines have surges throughout their operation, which causes abrupt increases in speed. This was not a desired event, especially on swoops and speeder bikes. The power dispersion unit creates an even power pattern, which in turn keeps the vehicle at a constant rate of acceleration. (CFG)

Power Dive
This seedy, dangerous tavern was located on Ord Mantell, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (RR)

Power Droid
Box-shaped droid on two legs used as a mobile power source. (E4R)

Power Drum
This was another name for a thunder drum. (IWST, CVD)

Power Flux Surger
This device, when added to a power-consuming system, and boost the system beyond its normal specifications without overall system degradation. These devices were often used to augment starship weapons or shielding systems. (SWJ9)

Power Gem
These powerful stones emit an aura which disrupts starship energy shields, but their power faded after they were mined. They were determined to be pieces of rare meteorites which broke off from a single meteor. The pirates of Iridium used these power gems to disrupt the shields of the starships they attacked, making it easy for them to loot the defenseless ships. The pirates were eliminated by the Jedi Knights, and it was believed that the power gems were all destroyed in the battle. However, the last usable power gem was held by Raskar until someone could best him in battle and take it. What he didn't tell anyone was that the gem contained only enough power for one last use. Han Solo and Chewbacca were able to defeat Raskar and take possession of the gem, which was turned over to General Dodonna some years after the Battle of Yavin. The gem was used in a valiant attempt to disrupt the shields of the Executor by Vrad Dodonna, but the gem's failing strength only opened a small hole in its immense shields. (CSW)

Power Generator
Any device which can create power from a basic set of materials. They can be small, portable generators used to supply power to a camp, or huge devices that can keep an entire city operational. (E5)

Power Hammer
This unusual weapon resembled a huge war-hammer, but the head of the weapon contained a power source that could deliver a potent electric shock when it struck flesh. (SWGAL)

Power Harpoon
This unusual weapon was designed by Beryl Chiffonage, for use against Imperial AT-AT walkers. Chiffonage realized that the tall war machines could be tripped up if a strong enough cable was used to entwine their legs. The power harpoon consisted of a flexi-steel cable which was fired from a turret-mounted gun. The projectile end of the flexi-steel cord was connected to a fusion disk, which attached itself to almost any surface. The stationary end of the cord was temporarily connected at the ship, and could be released when the cord was securely wrapped around the walker's legs. (CCG3)

Power Mace
Similar in appearance to a standard mace, the power mace had a small energy source contained in its thick head. This energy source was used to power a small gyroscope, which added momentum to the mace whenever it was swung. Additionally, the energy source produced an electric charge which was expended whenever the spikes on the head touched flesh, adding a shock attack to any physical damage done by the weapon. (MC20)

Power Mounds of the Elders
According to legend, this was the site where the leaders of the planet Skako met to decide on how to lead their people. Very few Skakoans ever saw the Power Mounds of the Elders in person, since it was there that the Book of Boolmide was kept safe. (VIS)

POWER Party
Originated by Andra some thirteen years before the Battle of Naboo, this political faction was formed to "Preserve Our Wild Endangered Resources" on the planet Telos. POWER opposed the government's plans to give UniFy corporation control over the management and preservation of Telos' parks and wilderness areas. The party was outlawed by the government, based on the desires of Xanatos. Andra later revealed to Qui-Gon Jinn that she was the only member of the party. (DOR)

Power Pistol
An out-dated, small, handheld energy weapon. (HSL)

Power Piton
This mountain-climbing device consisted of a pair of strap-on boots and a pair of disc-shaped hand units. Using either magnetic attraction or the use of hundreds of tiny, vibrosharp projections, the user could scale sheer surfaces with minimal equipment. The magnetic setting was bst for climbing buildings and other metallic structures. The virbo setting was best for wood, duracrete, or other soft building materials. (LOE)

Power Pivot
A starfighter maneuver often associated with the X-Wing, the power pivot involves the use of a ship's lateral thrusters to affect a reversal in positioning. The X-Wing was maneuverable enough ti swing around 180 degrees, surprising an opponent who thought they were unnoticed. (CCG9)

Power Plug
This small device supplied the basic power needed to fire a pod racer's engine. Depending on the size and configuration of the racing engines used, a small or larger plug was required. There were three basic forms of plugs. The first used one or more power sources in series, with each source being drained before the next could be used, and providing average amounts of power. The second was the rotary design, which taps each power source for a short period before moving to the next, in a rotary fashion. This increased the efficiency of the basic series design, but maintained a comparbale level of power output. The third design was the cluster plug, which ganged together the power from multiple sources at once. While it generated the greatest amount of power, it was also expensive and tended to need replacement sooner. (RAC)

Power Products, Limited
This small manufacturer produced a line of power recharging systems, during the height of the New Order. (GFT)

Power Prybar
A power tool which augments the amount of leverage that can be applied. (HSL)

Power Restraint
Similar to binders, power restraints were used to bind the limbs of a being in such a way as to prevent them from moving or escaping. However, instead of using magnetic force or strong materials to connect the restraints, a powerful "rope" of energy was used. This energy was not useful for cutting through materials, as it was tuned to simply keep the restraints bound together. This energy was intense enough that it was believed to dull a being's connection to the Force. In addition to smaller units that could bind the wrists and ankles, larger power restraints could be wrapped around a being's waist and connected to other restraints by a powered tether. (CWTV12)

Power Shield
This was a modern version of the ancient melee shield, which was worn on the arm. The power shield, a round metal disk with straps to hold it to the user's forearm, was electrically charged by a self-contained energy cell. When activated, this energy cell produced a powerful shock whenever it touched exposed flesh. Thus, the power shield could be used to fend off a charging opponent, allowing the user to strike with their own weapon. (MC20)

Power Ski
This was a form of skiing equipment developed for use on frozen and snow-covered worlds, where mountains were quite low. Power skis were originally developed for use on Akuria Two, and were equipped with small repulsor engines that provided the force which propelled the user across snow and ice. A single "ski" formed the base of the power ski, with a pair of footpads providing stability for the rider. A control stick rose from the base, and provided the means to steer, brake, and accelerate the power ski. (PZZ2, MCI4)

Power Slider
This unique transportation system involves the use of a repulsor-board that was worn on the feet. The board hovers above the ground and was propelled by a small jet pack. Power sliders come in various shapes and sizes, with some models resembling a pair of skis while others resemble surfboards. The farther forward over the board you lean, the faster it goes. (CSWEA)

Power Station
Fixer's business in Anchorhead, on Tatooine. (E4R)

Power Sucker
A nickname used to describe mynocks. (CCG4)

Power Terminal
An energy distribution center, where vehicles, starships, and droids can be brought for recharging. (SW)

Power, The
This was an ancient term for the Force. (TOJC)

Power5 Pistol
see Power 5 (GQRG)

Power-flux Coupling
This starship component ensured that the power distributed to important onboard systems remained at a fairly constant level. Any spikes or fluctuations in the power stream were regulated by the power-flux coupling, helping to maintain normal operating parameters. Power-flux couplings were often placed before and after key components, such as hyperdrives, to that any sudden surge in the power requirements of one component did not adversely affect another component. Couplings that were placed before a component were known as forward power-flux couplings, while those that were placed after a component were known as reverse power-flux couplings. (E5, TGD)

Powerhouse Mark I
This entry-level starship reactor core was produced by FreiTek Incorporated, during the early years of the New Order. It was generally regarded as being more efficient than the Performance series. (SWG2P)

Powerhouse Mark II
This mid-level starship reactor core was produced by FreiTek Incorporated, during the early years of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Powerhouse Mark III
This high-level starship reactor core was produced by FreiTek Incorporated, during the early years of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Power-lance
This weapon was similar in many respects to a force-pike, although it was heavier in weigth and much stronger. A power-lance was wielded by a mounted rider, and used to ram into an enemy force. The energy-discharging tip of the power-lance caused intense pain in living creatures, and overloaded the circuitry of a battle droid. (SWI84)

Power-lash
This flexible weapon emitted a powerful electric charge when its tip struck a target. Similar in appearance to a long riding crop or short, stiff whip, the power-lash was made of a handle and the lash end. A tiny power generator was located in the handle, which supplied an intense charge of electricity to the tip of the lash, which glowed with a vicious green color when activated. The length of the lower-lash allowed its user to subdue larger opponents, while ensuring that the weapon was not as unwieldy as a true whip. When the tip of the power-lash struck flesh, it discharged its stored energy in a massive jolt that caused intense pain and burned through clothing, fur, and flesh. (JS)

PowerLock 2500
Produced by Arakyd, this device locks out all power to a starship's main cockpit controls when activated. The PowerLock 2500 bolted directly into the ship's control panel, underneath the unit and out of sight. This allowed a starship owner to ensure that a thief couldn't fly off with their starship. When the owner keyed in the correct electronic combination, the PowerLock2500 shut itself down and allowed access to the ship's controls. (PSG)

PowerOn Conglomeration
One of the major corporations which helped form the Pentastar Alignment, PowerOn was one of the first to threatened secession from the Alignment and join the New Republic. The conglomerate was headquartered on Cantras Gola, so the Alignment hired the Karazak Slavers Guild to kidnap the children of Cantras Gola's chief ambassador. The kidnapping put pressure on PowerOn to remain with the Alignment, as it forced the rulers of Cantras Gola to accede to the Alignment's wishes. The Alignment's hold on PowerOn and Cantras Gola was broken when the Red Moons rescued the children from the slavers, in one of the many assaults that worked for both the Red Moons and the New Republic. (TFE)

Prabb, Varpo
This was the alias adopted by Joram Kithe, when he infiltrated the Nehass prison facility in order to rescue Edbit Teeks. Prabb was described as an agent for the Old Republic's Intelligence agency, and was Teeks' primary contact among the native Tarhassans. As Prabb, Joram pretended to be a prison from the penal facility in Dandahass, who was being transported to Nehass by a prison guard portrayed by Tinian Hanther. (SWI73)

Prabkro
This small, spherical seed had a spiky covering. Hutts favor the texture and taste of prabkros, especially when they were marinated in brandy. (POT)

This young man served the New Republic Intelligence agency as a Lieutenant in the Special Threats division. He and his team were responsible for identifying and capturing slicers and other information criminals. (CTD)

Prack, Dro
This Alderaanian man was one of the many cousins who worked for the Bornaryn Trading Company, during the early years of the New Republic. As Captain of the security shuttle Tryst, Prack was dispatched by Ladry Aryn Dro Thul to bring her son, Raynar, to the Tradewyn, after the disappearance of Bornant Thul. Prack was Raynar's second cousin. (DIV)

Prackla Sector
This area of the galaxy was remote enough from the Core Worlds that it remained neutral during the Clone Wars for more than a year. It was not until the Separatists launched an attack on Cartao, in an effort to destroy Spaarti Creations, that the leadership on Cartao decided to ally themselves with the Old Republic. (SWI68)

Prackla Trade Council
This association of merchants and corporations, based on the planet Cartao, furthered the interests of business within the Prackla Sector of the galaxy, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Despite the defined mission of the Council, many independent merchants and businessbeings felt that the Council worked for its own good, and not that of the membership. (SWI68)

Pradeux, Alec
This man was one of Emperor Palpatine's most key advisors during the height of the New Order. It was Pradeux who announced that the outbreak of Candorian Plague on Dentaal was engineered by the Alliance, claiming that it had been resurrected from the destroyed biowarfare laboratories formerly on Alderaan. (SWJ6, SWJ8)

Pradeux, Arica
This was an alias used by Mara Jade during the early years of the New Republic. Arica was ostensibly the daughter of Alec Pradeux, although no official connection every existed. (GMR10)

Prador, Lon
This Kadrillian served as the liaison between his people and the Alliance, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Lon Prador was also the ruler of the Kadrillian people. However, he was unaware that Dal Quirz and his scientists were secretly growing kunda stones for Darth Vader and the Empire. (LAT3)

Prael
This star was the central body in the Japrael System, which contains the planet Onderon. (TOJC)

Praesitlyn
This planet, located in the Sluis Sector of the galaxy, was the site of the Old Republic's Intergalactic Communications Center during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Praesitlyn was one of the thousands of worlds that allied themselves with Count Dooku and the Separatists during the years just prior to the Clone Wars, although the communications facility remained a Republic-held asset for many years. The communications center served as a communications hub for all transmissions to and from the Core Worlds, a situation that many thought would be troublesome for the Republic once the Clone Wars broke out. Their fears nearly came true when Separatists attacked the facility, but the combined forces of Zozridor Slayke, Nejaa Halcyon, and Anakin Skywalker managed to defeat the Separatists. The communications facility remained a vital link between the Core Worlds and the rest of the galaxy for many decades including the early years of the New Republic. (HTTE, HNN5)

Praetor
This was one of the many lightsaber hilt styles that were common among the new order of Jedi Knights who were trained by Luke Skywalker during the height of the New Republic. The Praetor hilt was long and thin, with a scalloped emitter shroud protecting the wielder from any stray energy. (JKAP)

Praetor-class Star Battlecruiser
This outdated warship was produced during the Old Republic, although a few specimens survived during the era of the Galactic Civil War. (IWST)

Praetorian-class Frigate
This warship was produced for the Galactic Republic by Rendili Hyperworks, during the era of the Great Sith War. Esaily distinguished by the two cone-shaped sections of its forward sections, the Praetorian-class frigate was the forerunner of the Hammerhead-class cruiser. At 180 meters in length, the Praetorian-class frigate was a formidable opponent in battle, although many of these ships were retired after the Great Sith War and sold to planetary defense fleets. Those that remained in military service were converted for use in clearing hyperspace travel lanes and hauling supplies to devastated worlds. Often, the sight of a Praetorian-class frigate, which was armed with a pair of turbolaser cannons, two laser cannons, and a pair of tractor beam generators, helped to deter the pirates that preyed on these supply convoys. In the wake of the war, Rendili Hyperworks was given permission to sell these ships to planetary governments, but later sold the designs for this ship to the Corellian Engineering Corporation, which refitted the vessel and marketed it as the Class VI Bulk Freighter. (WOTC)

Praetorite Vong
This was the primary political body which governed the Yuuzhan Vong during the last stages of their intergalactic migration and the earliest part of their invasion of the galaxy. The Praetorite Vong was led primarily by domains that were loyal to the Intendant caste, which tried to assert its power over the other castes. Leadership of the Praetorite Vong was formed of highly-skilled High Prefects, supported by High Priests and high-ranking warriors. Despite that fact that they were not a military body, the Praetorite Vong was in command of the first assault force sent to begin the conquest of the galaxy. The war force was not overly large, and its leadership - Prefect Da'Gara and Executor Nom Anor - refused to underestimate their enemy. Their forces were controlled by the immense yammosk war coordinator based on Helska, which they had obtained without permission and was imperfectly developed. The plans of Nom Anor and the Praetorite Vong were thwarted when the New Republic forced the planet to quickly thaw and re-freeze, setting up a Mezicanley Wave and destroying Helska. The yammosk was killed, and the Yuuzhan Vong forces routed. Unfortunately for the Republic, the Praetorite Vong was only the tip of the iceberg which represented the Yuuzhan Vong invasion force. After the debacle at Helska, the Praetorite Vong was restricted in its actions by Tsavong Lah and the Yuuzhan Vong commanders. Note that the New Jedi Order Sourcebook indicates that the Praetorite Vong was a subgroup of the military. (VP, DTR, JE, UF, NJOSB)

Praff Run
A smuggling corridor often traveled by Hatirma Havighasu. (BTS)

Prag
This was one of the more common Kel Dor surnames. Its meaning translated into Basic as "wagon-maker". (GCG)

Praget, Krall
This native of the planet Edatha was a New Republic Senator, and chaired the Council on Security and Intelligence. He regarded the loss of the Teljkon vagabond at Gmir Askilon to be a failure, and demanded that the mission return home. Praget did not support Leia Organa-Solo's selection as Chief of State, but he did not openly oppose it. After Leia began granting membership in the Republic to Koornacht Cluster worlds, he convened the Ruling Council and ordered a recall on her right to rule. Although the vote was 5-2 in support of Leia, it laid the groundwork for another vote of no-confidence after the blockade of the Koornacht Cluster met with limited success and the capture of Han Solo. (SOL)

Praidaw
It was on this planet that Akanah's parents - Isela Talsava Norand and Joreb Goss - first met. (SOL)

Praji, Collin
A noted descendant of House Praji, Collin Praji grew up on the planet Coruscant during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Bucking the family tradition, Collin entered the military, and became a distinguished Colonel. The Kalandar Installation on the planet Talus was renamed as Fort Praji in his honor. (OWS)

Praji, Daymont "Veracity"
This man was one of the many sons of the Praji family who served in the military forces of the Galactic Republic. Some 11,660 years before the Battle of Yavin, Daymont Praji was in command of the military task force that was dispatched to safeguard the delegation that traveled to Zarracina III, in an effort to negotiate for the rights to a nearby hyperspace travel route. When the Zarracine ruling council committed suicide in an attempt to spite the Republic, Praji ordered his ships to fire their weapons at Zarracina III. The planet was bombarded with nuclear and explosive weapons, and was rendered a wasteland. (OWS)

Praji, Derrica
This young man was a member of House Praji, although he grew up on the planet Coruscant more than 4,200 years before the Battle of Yavin. At the age of twelve, Derrica was discovered to have a strong connection to the Force, and was taken to Ossus for training under the watchful eye of Vandar Tokare. Derrica tried to avoid the complications that came from his lineage, especially since his great-aunt was Emppu Praji-Barck. Thus, it was surprising that Master Vandar took Derrica and two other Padawans to Kaikielius, on a mission to resolve the civil war between the crimelords and the local police agencies on the planet. Derrica tried to remain neutral during the mission, which became known as the Kaikieli Reconquista, but he was forced to alter his stance when he discovered that Minister Praji-Barck had been manipulating events on Kaikielius from behind the scenes. She had been secretly aiding the Odominic kajidic in supplying arms to both sides of the conflict, and had also filibustered any aid the Republic might have sent to Kaikielius years earlier. He took his lightsaber and destroyed any evidence that would have implicated her in treasonous crimes. (OWS)

Praji, Griff
This man was Tannon Praji's oldest brother, and the father of Nahdonnis Praji. (OWS)

Praji, Jideon
This man was one of the many members of House Praji to serve on the board of the Bank of the Core, during the final centuries of the Old Republic. Jideon Praji was later appointed by Supreme Chancellor Vaila Pecivas to serve as the Republic's Minister of Finance, an appointment that was met with consternation in the Galactic Senate. Senator Tash Metonae and a group of Senators quickly investigated Praji's appointment, and declared that his role with the Bank of the Core represented a conflict of interest. Their findings, coupled with Praji's vehement tirades, eventually led the Senate to overturn his appointment. Many of Praji's angry rebuttals were replayed on the HoloNet, further condemning him in the eyes of the galactic public. (OWS)

Praji, Maree
This young woman was one of the many members of the noted Praji family who left Coruscant for a home at the Emerald Splendor estates on Byss, in the wake of the Clone Wars. (OWS)

Praji, Nahdonnis
This Imperial Naval officer was trained at Carida, and received high honors at his graduation, during the height of the New Order. A descendant of House Praji, Nahdonnis grew up on Coruscant during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The nephew of Tannon Praji, Nahdonnis was the son of Griff Praji. Nahdonnis grew up watching the newsfeeds that portrayed the efforts of the Jedi Knights and the Grand Army of the Republic in defeating the Separatists, and enlisted when he finally came of age, just after the end of the war. Known for his business-like nature, Praji was distingiushed among Imperial officers by his intolerance for insubordination among his troops. He also had strong distaste for the common man, and he chafed whenever he had to sreve until an officer from a non-Core Worlds planet. Commander Praji was initially assigned to the Star Destroyer Vengeance, and distinguished himself to Darth Vader when he used one of Anakin Skywalker's tactics to defeat a group of rebels on Nar Shaddaa. Praji was later chosen to serve as Darth Vader's aide aboard the Devastator, but he found that this new role required little in terms of command from him. It was Praji who notified Vader of the lifeless escape pod that jettisoned during the capture of the Tantive IV. Like the rest of his troops, Praji was unaware that the escape pod had been used by R2-D2 and C-3PO. When Vader ordered him to recover the escape pod, Praji chose to delegate the mission to Captain Kosh. The delegation of this mission delayed the actual landing of Imperial forces on Tatooine, and the landing on Tatooine coincided with a training exercise that was being carried out by the crew of the Inquisitor. This combination of events allowed the two droids to leave their escape pod behind and make contact with Obi-Wan Kenobi. Praji accepted this outcome, and personally reported on the loss of the droids to Vader. Although Praji managed to survive this encounter, he was later passed over for transfer to the Executor. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Praji remained loyal to the Empire, and served under several warlords until Emperor Palpatine reappeared on Byss. He was promoted to the rank of General, and helped secure his ancestral homeworld of Kaikielius as an Imperial base. He requested that he be allowed to leave active military service to become the planetary governor of Kaikielius, and he was able to restore a Praji to a position of rulership on the family's homeworld. Praji assumed the title of Governor-General, remaining loyal to the Empire but worried that the reborn Emperor was nothing more than a power-hungry megalomaniac. (CCG, ICS, OWS, SWI96)

Praji, Onnelly
This young woman was one of the many members of the noted Praji family who left Coruscant for a home at the Emerald Splendor estates on Byss, in the wake of the Clone Wars. She met Jodd Sonta while getting ready to board her transport, and thought nothing more about him until just before lift-off. Jodd, who was really the Jedi Padawan Drake Lo'gaan in disguise, rushed up to her and explained that the transport to Byss was not what it appeared to be. (EAR)

Praji, Tannon
A noted patron of the arts, this man served as one of Coruscant's Ministers of Ingress during the height of the Clone Wars, struggling to keep Coruscant safe from Separatist terrorists while maintaining the planet's appearance as open to the galaxy. A loyal member of the Old Republic since the Battle of Naboo, Praji was originally appointed to the Second Minister position, serving under Zelebitha Effhod during the months leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. However, in the face of growing Separatist activity on Coruscant, Effhod was unable to prevent terrorism on the capital planet. Praji was forced to make some difficult decisions in order to keep Coruscant safe, including the virtual shutdown of all immigration during the early months of the Clone Wars. This earned him a series of threats and accusations from all sides, including the Refugee Relief Movement's claim that he was little more than a wealthy bureaucrat who thought he could decide the fate of billions. He became the First Minister after Effhod's death, but his position was only made more difficult when COMPOR demanded that he deport any being who homeworld had sided with the Separatists. He was also dismayed to learn that several members of the Praji family had married into the royalty of the planet Serenno, linking him by family law to Count Dooku. After a number of assassination attempts failed, Praji was forced to hire a bodyguard for protection. The services of Ottegru Gray were provided by the Bank of the Core, for a nominal fee, and he prevented a group of Zarracine terrorists from assassinating Praji just weeks later. Praji felt that he could trust Gray, and eventually turned over the management of his personal bank accounts to his new bodyguard. Gray, however, was more loyal to Emperor Palpatine, and used his access to Praji's accounts to siphon credits into several slush funds that were put in place to allow Palpatine to carry out his more clandestine activities. Despite the turmoil of the Clone Wars, Tannon Praji persevered, and was able to maintain his role on the Ministry of Ingress after the formation of the Galactic Empire. However, this role soon became nothing more than a figurehead, as Praji found he was unable to do anything without the approval of the military police on Coruscant. Recognizing that change was in the air, Praji agreed to take his wife and daughter to Byss, in the Deep Core, as part of the Empire's recolonization effort. (SWDB, OWS)

Praji, Tyla
This woman was the daughter of Nahdonnis Praji. Tyla Praji served as a Commisar in the New Empire forged by the Fel family, and was one of the many military leaders during the so-called Second Civil War. (OWS)

Praji, Tyler Sapius
This ancient man was one of the earliest rulers of the planet Kaikielius, serving as part of The Triad during the two hundred years that led up to the formation of the Galactic Republic. Few, if any, records of Tyler Sapius Praji's life survived to modern times, although it was known that his signature was on the Galactic Constitution. (OWS)

Praji Estate
This was the set of buildings and residences that were owned by House Praji on the planet Coruscant. Originally established during the centuries following the Great Hyperspace War, the Praji Estate grew over time, and by the time of the Clone Wars, it was larger than some planetary capitals. The estate was made up of a multitude of buildings that surrounded a large park. These buildings included officers for the thousands of beings who worked for the Praji family, as well as family residences and support buildings. The park was maintained by a group of Ho-Din gardeners. However, during the Yuuzhan Vong War, the Praji Estate was destroyed, forcing the surviving members of the Praji family to return to their ancestral homeworld of Kaikielius. (OWS)

Praji-Barck, Emppu
This woman was a member of House Praji, and served as the Minister of State of the planet Kaikielius during the years following the Great Hyperspace War. Minister Praji-Barck spent more than 60 years in this role, during which time the members of House Praji abandoned Kaikielius and left it to House Vahalii. The Vahalii family was unable to counteract the growing presence of criminals and pirates in the system, and they eventually began to petition the Galactic Senate for assistance. Minister Praji-Barck spent literally years with long-winded filibusters that delayed Republic aid, in an effort to subtly undermine House Vahalii and allow House Praji to return and take control of the planet. However, when the planet's cities devolved into civil war between the local police and the crimelords, the Republic was finally forced to step in. Jedi Master Vandar Tokare and his Padawans, including Derrica Praji, were dispatched to Kaikielius, and it was Derrica who discovered evidence implicating Minister Praji-Barck in a scheme to manipulate the Odominic kajidic and perpetuate the war on Kaikielius. However, rather than bringing trouble for his family, Derrica destroyed the evidence. (OWS)

Prak
This was the native language used by the inhabitants of the Prakith System. (TT)

Prak
This star was the central body of the Prakith System, located in the Deep Core. (PH)

Prak City
This was the capital of the planet Prakith. The buildings of Prak City were skyscrapers that, from a distance, looked like the pointed teeth of some dangerous creature. Imperial Warlord Foga Brill established his seat of power in Prak City, and many other corporate headquarters were found in its business district. The city was built on the largest plateau on all of Prakith, in order to accommodate a huge, Imperial-class spaceport. (PH)

Prakess
This frozen ball of rock was the fifth and outermost planet of the Prakith System, located in the Deep Core region of the galaxy. It was orbited by a paitr of moons. (PH)

Prakith
This was the third, and primary, planet in the Prakith System, located some 106 light-years past the borders of the New Republic, in the Deep Core. It was under the control of the Warlord Foga Brill during the tenure of Leia Organa-Solo as Chief of State of the Republic. Prakith was orbited by a pair of moons. The planet was one of the most fortified worlds of the Empire, because of its landscape and the amount of military assets based on or in orbit around the planet. The terrain of Prakith was dominated by rugged, mountain-covered landmasses and unpredictably deep oceans. Much of the landscape on Prakith was caused by seismic and tectonic activity that occurred early in its lifecycle, which resulted in very few open fields. Many of the populated areas on Prakith were located on plateaus, most of which were surrounded by deep canyons and caverns. As a result, cloud cars and airspeeders were required to move from city to city. Prakith was one of the first Deep Core worlds on which the Empire established a military presence, and it was on Prakith that the Inquisitors were based during the height of the New Order. After many years of fighting, Foga Brill eventually was forced to cede control of Prakith to the New Republic. (SOL, PH)

Prakk
This was a common name among the Kilmaulsi race. (GORW)

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

Prakrii
This man served the Imperial Navy as a starfighter pilot aboard the Garret, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. A veteran of only a few missions, Prakrii was among the many pilots who felt that the beam-weapon technology that was developed by Admiral Zaarin was useful to pilots, since it could be used to help keep an enemy vessel locked on target. (TIEP)

Pral
This planet was located along the Jahilid Drift. The planet was subjugated by Imperial forces, led by General Sk'ar, during the height of the New Order. (OWS)

Prall
This riverbed mining operation on the planet Prakith was controlled by Foga Brill following the Battle of Endor. (SOL)

Prall
This Hutt was secretly the head of PharmCorp, on the planet Nubia. Prall was also the owner of the Nubian Palace resort, a fact that was also unknown to most Nubians. As Hutts go, Prall was relatively young during the height of the New Order, and distinguished by his thin physique and tan-gray skin. His left eye was yellow in color, while his right eye was blue, and both twitched at random. Prall maintained his position of power through a series of well-placed bribes and favors. (CCW)

Prammi, Wila
This Galacian woman was one of the candidates to succeed Queen Veda, after the monarch decided to abdicate the throne. Her supporters often fought against those of Deca Brun, but neither group opposed Prince Beju. She had more political experience the Brun or Beju, having served as an underminister for King Cana and Queen Veda. Many felt that her position within the monarchy distanced her from the majority of the people. However, in the wake of admissions about Deca Brun's abuses of campaign funds, and after Prince Beju withdrew from the election and threw his support to Prammi's campaign, she was elected to succeed Veda. Prammi even received the support of Elan and the Hill People, although they chose to remain apart from the majority of Galu natives. (MOC)

Pran
One of the New Republic Agave-class picket ships dispatched under the command of Pakkpekatt to intercept the Teljkon vagabond. The Pran was ordered back to drydock after the mission failed to capture the vagabond at Gmir Askilon. (SOL)

Prana Lexander
An ancient scientific starship which was used by a respected philosopher. The ship was lost some 500 years before the Galactic Civil War, although legend had it that the philosopher was still out there, suspended in cryofreeze. (RPG)

Prang, Norris
This man served as a wing commander in the naval forces that supported Lord Shadowspawn, during the months that followed the Battle of Endor. It was Prang who was forced to deliver news of the possible death of Luke Skywalker, shortly after Skywalker's flagship, the Justice, exploded upon impact with the planet Mindor. Fearing the worst, Prang resolved himself to his fate and made the report, and was surprised when Shadowspawn ignored the news. Instead, Shadowspawn seemed to have some knowledge that Skywalker had escaped, and ordered Prang to develop a plan to capture Skywalker. Prang then took a detachment of stormtroopers to the crash site, where his surprise only increased when he found Skywalker alive, and willing to be taken directly to Lord Shadowspawn. (LSSM)

Prann, Erli
This man was the nominal leader of the group of pirates who took control of one of the Golan II defense platforms which protected the Imperial shipyards at Bilbringi, during the years following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. The group discovered the cloaking devices Thrawn had used to prototype the masking of asteroids, and used it to protect the station from prying eyes. This became important when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy and took control of the Bilbringi shipyards. The group remained on the station, hidden from the alien invaders. When The Galactic Alliance launched Operation Trinity in an effort to retake Bilbringi, the crew of the Mon Mothma discovered the existence of the station and sent Jaina Solo's squadron to see if they could bring it into the battle. Prann pretended to be a Lieutenant in the New Republic, and the leader of a team sent to reactivate the station. Once Jaina was aboard, he revealed that he and his group were simply opportunistic salvagers, taking advantage of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong to reap a profit. Prann hoped to salvage the hyperdrive motivators from Jaina's X-Wings to help power the station out of the system. What Prann didn't count on was Jaina's connection to the Force. She couldn't save her hyperdrives, but Jaina used the Force to alter Prann's inputting of hyperspace coordinates. The resulting jump tried to take the station through a Yuuzhan Vong interdictor, and the navigation computer returned the station to realspace almost immediately. While Prann and his people weren't clear of the Yuuzhan Vong, their proximity to the interdictor allowed them to pound the ship and clear an escape route for the Galactic Alliance forces. Prann then tried to fight his way clear, but his fellow pirates demanded that he surrender the Golan station to the Galactic Alliance. He refused, but was eventually subdued. Once he was remvoed from control, the rest of the pirates agreed to turn the station over. (FP)

Prard'enc'iflar
This tall Chiss male served as the Commander of the Brask Oto Command Station, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He met with Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker when they emerged from the Redoubt in pursuit of Estosh and the D-Four Dreadnaught, then grudgingly ackowledged their part in eliminating the Vagaari threat. He was forced to further acknowledge their abilities when Luke and Mara presented him with the coordinates of the waiting Vagaari fleet, which had been poised to attack Chiss-held space on Estosh's command. (SQ)

Prard'ras'kleoni
This tall, male Chiss served as a General in the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He went by the core name of Drask when dealing with the New Republic. (SQ)

Prash, Treytis
This man was one of the Alliance's leading gun-runners during the Galactic Civil War. A bounty hunter spent a good deal of time trying to catch him, and convinced Celia Durasha that Prash was himself a bounty hutner, working for Bwahl the Hutt in order to capture Kaj Nedmak. Prash himself was a well-dressed, handsome man with jet-black hair and a muscular build. He often traveled with a pair of bodyguards, Beidlo and Skurvis. Thune's plan worked to perfection, as she and Celia first cornered Prash at the CardSafe. Celia then shot the two bodyguards, allowing Thune the chance to stun Prash and take him captive. Thune then revealed to Celia that she had, in fact, captured Kaj herself, and that she was going to turn all three captives in for their collective bounties. Prash agreed to help Celia and Kaj, and managed to make a brief escape before Thune killed Kaj and threatened the others. In the end, the droid U-THR helped them all capture Thune. After turning Thune over to the authorities, Prash returned to running guns for the Alliance. (SWJ14)

Prat
This man served the Empire as a Watch Captain in the armed forces, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Prat served under Captain Andal Sait, and was one of the Captain's supporters when Sait decided to defect from Imperial service and sell his Star Destroyer to Black Sun. (SWGAL)

Pratuhr, Artuo
This man was an infrequent patron of the Coruscant underworld during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He was often seen in the company of his apprentices, Zey Nep, Dixon Just, and Civ Sila. An archaeologist by training, Pratuhr worked for the Galactic Museum, and sometimes went to nightclubs to meet with clients who wanted to sell him obscure artifacts and relics. He preferring to meet them in public places that provided a measure of anonymity, since many of the artifacts had been smuggled from their homeworlds. Pratuhr was not a thief, nor did he condone the ways in which these artifacts had been obtained. Instead, he often provided details of his suppliers to the local police. One of these providers turned out to be Seib Nod, who tried to sell him artifacts that she had stolen from the Sisterhood of the Beatific Countenance of Lorrd. When Seib Nod robbed him, Pratuhr and Zey Nep tracked her down and had her arrested before she could flee the planet. (SWI75, SWDB)

Prax, Cydon
This immense, reptilian being served as a guard at Count Dooku's fortress on Raxus Prime, during the years surrounding the Battle of Geonosis. Cydon Prax was a Chistori, and had a bald head that was circled by a heavy crest. His mouth with filled with a multitude of huge, square teeth. He spoke in terse sentences, and rarely displayed emotion. When he did speak, Prax often referred to himself as "us." Dooku assigned Prax to watch over young Boba Fett, after the youth was brought to Raxus Prime following his father's death on Geonosis. Prax was later assigned to the task force Count Dooku had assembled to track down the Force Harvester, and was instrumental in the Separatist's plans to enslave the Wookiees of the planet Kashyyyk. Besides his military skills, Prax was also an excellent pilot, and fought a brief battle with Anakin Skywalker during the early stages of the Clone Wars. After having captured Skywalker on Raxus Prime, the Jedi escaped, but was confronted by Prax again on the planet Thule. There, the two engaged each other by attacking with their fighter tanks. Ultimately, Anakin proved to be the better pilot, as he was able to destroy Prax's tank and kill the Chistori. (BF2, WOTC, CWG)

Prayer Flags
This was the term used to describe the long, flowing banners that hung from the ceiling of the main rotunda of Jabba's Palace, on the planet Tatooine. The flags were originally placed in the rotunda by the B'omarr Monks, who wandered the rotunda in contemplation of the universe. The prayer flags, in addition to helping with air circulation, provided visual references for the monks to fixate on, allowing them to reach a deeper state of meditation and prayer. (IWST)

Prayer of Redemption
This was the prayer which gained favor among those Shamed Ones who believed in the Jedi Heresy. It was created on Coruscant, after the cityworld was transformed to resemlbe Yuuzhan'tar, and gained popularity when it was embraced by the prophet, Yu'shaa. (FP)

Praysh, Chay
This Drach'nam ran a slaver consortium from a base on Torpris, during the early years of the New Republic. He was known for his intense hatred of women, especially humans, and kept those that he captured in the slimepits of his base on Torpris. He preferred to be called by the title "First Greatness," something that rankled his competitors. His subordinates were also known as Greatnesses, with ordinals identifying their position within Praysh's organization. The slimepits housed thousands of krizar pupae, which Praysh grew and nurtured for use in guarding his fortress. The women were forced to monitor the growth of the pupae and remove those which were ready to hatch. Any form of disobediance was met with several lashings of a neuronic whip, the weapon of choice for Praysh's Drach'nam guards. When Mara Jade came to Torpris in an effort to rescue Sansia Bardrin, Praysh had her enslaved like any other human female. The Togorian female H'sishi claimed that Mara was a Uoti Corporate spy, and managed to gain an audience with Praysh. In the midst of the discussion, H'sishi managed to return Mara's lightsaber to her, and Mara quickly eliminated Praysh's guards. Praysh himself managed to escape the brief struggle. However, the luxury yacht Winning Gamble - which Sansia had been flying when she was captured - contained detailed information on the defenses of Praysh' palace. This information was turned over to Luke Skywalker and the New Republic, which raided the fortress and rescued the slaves. Praysh himself was imprisoned for his crimes. (TFNR)

Praz
This was a common, though archaic, name given to Zabrak males. Like many Zabrak names, it related to survival characteristics, and meant "strong-willed" - or, more literally, "eager to live", referring to children who survived birth complications. (GCG)

P-RC3
This librarian droid was assigned to work with Atour Riten at the Death Star Library, during the early years of the New Order. Persee, as Riten referred to the droid, was sent to the Death Star on the orders of Sector Admiral Poteet, with instructions to monitor Riten's activities. Roughly humanoid in shape, P-RC3 had metallic blue body panels and photoreceptors that glowed with a blue light. The droid's head was larger than normal, to contain a larger memory core. Persee spoke with a High Coruscanti accent, which had been programmed by Lord Alferon Choots Bemming, giving the droid an air of superiority.

In order to ensure his privacy, Riten installed a specialized piece of programming that ensured Persee would be loyal to him. Any question about Riten's actions would be answered in such a way as to remove any doubt of the droid's sincerity. Any deeper probe of Persee's memory of Riten's actions would result in a sudden firmware glitch that would wipe out the code Riten had installed. A smaller piece of code ensured that Persee was unaware of the new programming.

In the wake of the destruction of Despayre and Alderaan, Riten ordered Persee to scan the available plans and information on the Death Star, in an effort to identify a potential weakness. Persee initially refused, but Riten claimed to have proper authorization. During its scans, Persee discovered the presence of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo in a hangar bay command center. Although the droid could only provide a video feed, it was able to lip-read the conversation, allowing Riten to discern their plans to rescue Princess Leia Organa. With Persee's help, Riten managed to send access codes for Detention Block AA-23 to the turbolift the two rebels used to infiltrate the prison level, allowing them to gain access without setting off any alarms.

The droid's security routines were further taxed when Riten agreed to help a group of would-be defectors escape from the Death Star on a stolen medical shuttle. Riten planned to be aboard the shuttle as well, requiring that Persee imitate the verification codes that would allow the shuttle to leave. Although Persee objected, Riten explained that not imitating the codes would put his life in jeopardy, which was contrary to Persee's programming that Riten not be harmed. Unfortunately, Imperial security agents discovered the droid's clandestine probes, and took it away to have its memory wiped. Riten felt sorry to see Persee go, knowing that the memory wipe would trigger the hidden programming, and render the droid a piece of scrap. (DSTR)

Predator-class Gunship
This gunship was popular with pirate gangs during the early years of the New Republic. (GMR9)

Predator-class Starfighter
This twin-winged starfighter was produced by Sienar Fleet Systems for the New Empire that was formed in the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, some 130 years after the Battle of Yavin. The main cockpit of the Predator-class fighter was a sphere, similar in some respects to the TIE Fighters of the New Order. There were two variations on the design of the cockpit, one with a circular viewing pane that was similar to the TIE Fighter, and one with diagonally-mounted viewing panes. The circular viewport variant was reserved for use by squad leaders and commanders, but neither had any specific advantages because the heads-up display provided all pilots with a wealth of information.

The wing system of the Predator-class starfighter set it apart from the TIE Fighter. The long wings of the Predator-class fighter were mounted to the sides and faced forward, and could be folded backward to give the ship a different profile, depending on the type of mission it was performing. Unlike their TIE Fighter ancestors, the Predator-class starfighters were equipped with improved hull plating, shield systems and hyperdrives. The primary weaponry of these fighters was made up of four laser cannons mounted around the outer edge of the cockpit, giving the Predator-class fighter better targeting capabilities. These improvements led to a higher rate of survival among fighter pilots, and made these fighters formidable opponents in a dogfight. (SWI89, SWLB, SWLH, SSOG)

Predne
This given name was common human males across the galaxy. (GCG)

Predominance
This Ishori war cruiser, commanded by Captain Av'muru, was one of the multitude of ships that came to surround the planet Bothawui shortly after the revelation of the Bothan involvement in the destruction of Caamas. It was the ship that began running down several Sif'krie skiffs in an attempt to draw the Diamalan warships into a battle. In order to avoid the confrontation, Leia Organa-Solo deliberately destroyed the Millennium Falcon's maneuvering engines upon entry into the Bothawui orbital space. She sent out a distress call to the Predominance, which her Captain reluctantly answered. The Predominance managed to capture the floundering ship with a tractor beam and transport it to President Gavrisom's vessel, effectively diffusing the situation. Shortly thereafter, Klif, Pensin, and Horvic managed to infiltrate the ship, disguised as New Republic technicians. They killed their escort and commandeered a turbolaser battery. As soon as Navet dropped the Drev'starn shield, they began firing the Predominance's weapons. They managed eight shots before they were discovered and neutralized. However, this action was coupled with a number of Imperial messages that signalled the various races to begin firing, and the warships above Bothawui began to attack each other. The Predominance took a good deal of fire from the Diamalan ships, especially the Industrious Thoughts, before the true nature of the attack could be disseminated. (VOF)

Preducor
A huge, four-legged predator native to the forest moon of Endor, it had a mane of razor-like hair and spiked tail. There were folds of skin near its shoulders that were vestigial wings. These creatures were nocturnal by nature, and hunted by waiting in the trees for their prey to wander by. The preducor then leaped from the tree, sinking its long claws into its prey and tearing it to pieces. (DFRSB, RESB)

Preedu III
This man was at one time the Emperor of Tamban, at the time when Aitro Koornacht first saw the Koornacht Cluster. (BTS)

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

Preena's Academy
While exactly an accredited education institution, Preena's Academy nevertheless produced a number of hard-working starship maintenance and repair technicians during the height of the New Order. An unofficial subdivision of Preena's Repair Bay, located on the planet Vaynai and owned by Preena Jallop, the Academy was named by the children who were able to rise abvoe their poor social status and earn a living as starship technicians. These children, taken in by Preena over the years, were orphans or impoverished children who grew up working side-by-side with the technicians who worked for Preena. These children gained valuable experience, and many eventually established their own businesses. (GMR8)

Preena's Repair Bay
This was the name of the vehicle repair and service business owned and operated by Preena Jallop during the height of the New Order, which was located on Streysel Island on the planet Vaynai. It was carved into the cliff face near the Fil'vye Transport tower, with a large portion of the facility open to the surface of the island so that starships could land even with minimal meneuverability. Preena also maintained a skilled crew of technicians who could travel to various towers and landing sites to perform on-site repairs. What made the Repair Bay unusual was the fact that a good portion of the labor was performed by children of all ages. Preena's motherly instinct made her take in orphans and impoverished children, allowing them the opportunity to earn valuable skills and be sheltered from the criminal elements of Vaynai in return for their loyalty and dedication to the business. Known to those children who "graduated" as Preena's Academy, this aspect of Preena's business provided children with a way to escape Vaynai's underworld. (GMR8)

Prennert, Osleo
This man served as a reconnaissance scout for the Alliance, during its occupation of the Massassi Base on Yavin 4, just prior to the Battle of Yavin. Prennert was on sentry duty when the Millennium Falcon arrived from the Alderaan System, bearing news of Alderaan's destruction and the rescue of Princess Leia Organa. (E4, SWI92)

Prentioch
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer was under the command of Imperial Moff Prentioch, during the early years of the New Republic. (SWJ7)

Prentioch
This Imperial Moff was placed in charge of the Sombure Sector during the Galactic Civil War.

Prentioch established a niche for himself in the Mid Rim, commanding a small fleet led by his personal Star Destroyer, the Prentioch. (SWJ2, SWJ7)

Prentiss
This man was a member of an Old Republic diplomatic team which was lost in a remote section of the galaxy. The captain of their ship was forced to crash-land their ship on an uncharted world, where the native flora and fauna quickly began preying on the survivors. Prentiss and his group tried to scout out their location, but were killed and eaten shortly after leaving the ship. The ship was later discovered by Han Solo and Chewbacca, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, while escaping an Imperial ambush on the Kalla's Stanchion near Etti IV. Their blind jump took them to a location where they intercepted the decades-old distress call from the downed ship. (SWEAT)

Preparation Center
This vast facility was constructed on the planet Yaga Minor by the Old Republic, as the primary facility for the development and construction of the Outbound Flight project. (OF)

Prepredenko
This Jazbinan Lord served as the planetary governor of Jazbina during the last years of the New Order. He welcomed Luke Skywalker to Jazbina shortly after the Battle of Yavin, in an effort to capture him and gain favor with Darth Vader. He tricked Luke into believing that his daughter, Syayna, had been kidnapped, and that rescuing her would help convince the people of Jazbina to join the Alliance. In reality, he hoped that Luke would lead him to a cell of rebels which was led by Syayna, thereby doubling the reward he would garner. Prepredenko had the journalist-droid 3DVO equipped with a remote-control dart launcher, and tranquilizer Luke after he found Syayna's rebel cell. He also had Syayna placed under house arrest. 3DVO, angry that Prepredenko had tampered with his systems, tried to get revenge on Prepredenko by changing the message Vader sent to Jazbina. 3DVO reported that Vader wanted Luke dead, rather than alive, hoping Prepredenko would be executed for disobeying Vader's orders. Prepredenko then released Syayna, who claimed to have had a change of heart. She asked him to let her kill Luke, and Prepredenko agreed. She merely stunned him, but Prepredenko was too busy preparing for Vader's arrival to notice. When Vader learned that Prepredenko had arranged for Luke to be killed, he tortured Prepredenko. Prepredenko managed to convince 3DVO to transmit a message to Syayna, telling her that he truly loved her. The transmission was detected by the Imperials, and a squad of stormtroopers was sent to end it. They shot Prepredenko dead, then destroyed 3DVO, but not before the droid had their executions shown on public viewscreens. (VQ)

Pre-Republic History
This was the term originally used by Jedi Master Odan-Urr to describe the period of the galaxy's documented history that followed the discovery of the hyperdrive and led to the formation of the Old Republic. (GORW)

Presentation
This ritual was carried out on the planet Kesh, during one month each local year, and gave the native Keshiri a chance to join the Sith Tribe that had evolved on the planet. The Sith were primarily of human stock, and were considered to be more powerful than the Keshiri. In general, there was no interaction between the two races, and certainly no matings between them, but those Keshiri who showed potential had the opportunity to present themselves as members of the Tribe. (FJI)

Presentian
This small corporation produced a variety of personal conveyance devices during the era of the New Order. (GFT)

Preservers

President of Five Worlds
This was the office that was established by Thrackan Sal-Solo, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. With the death of Aidel Saxan, Sal-Solo installed himself as the first President of Five Worlds, thereby extablishing his control over the entire Corellian System. After Sal-Solo was assassinated, Dur Gejjen abolished the office of the President of Five Worlds, ostensibly to remove any of Sal-Solo's influence on the Corellian government. (LF3)

President of Mandalore
This was the somewhat-correct term used to describe the individual who held the position of Mandalore. The term was used on other planets, where the inhabitants were unaware of Mandalorian culture and custom. (LF5)

President of the Republic
This was the term used to describe the leader of the Old Republic's Senatorial Council. The title of President of the Republic later became the Supreme Chancellor. (XWP, ISB)

Presidential Palace
Located on the planet Coruscant, this was the ancient building that served as the residential quarters for the Supreme Chancellors of the Old Republic. Large sections of the Presidential Palace were ordered to be destroyed when Emperor Palpatine took control of the galaxy, and the structure that was built upon its foundation became known as the Imperial Palace. (CCW, UVG)

Pressor
This was the generic term used to describe a small repulsor beam projector that was installed on a starship to the the pilot manage the ship's pitch. Pressors worked similar to tractor beams, but generated a repelling effect, rather than an attracting one. (SW, CN1)

Pressor, Dillian
This man and his family were among the 50,000 civilians who were part of the Outbound Flight project, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Dillian was part of the team that was led by Chas Uliar, who began to oppose the assumption of command by Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth, especially when C'baoth docked him two days' worth of pay for exchanging anrgy words with Jedi Master Justyn Ma'Ning. Ma'Ning had been showing a group of children who had been chosen to study with the Jedi about the working of a hyperdrive, and one of the children dropped a collection of inverse couplings on the ground. The event was one of several in which inexperienced or untrained Jedi disrupted the normal workings of the technical staff aboard Outbound Flight. Pressor and Uliar began meeting with the other workers, and had planned to demand that C'baoth recognize the rights of the workers, but their attempt was pushed aside when the Chiss attacked the ship. C'baoth refused to acknowledge them, and had them detained in the central storage core until after the attack. Lorana Jinzler ensured that the workers and their families were safely moved to the core, then returned to the main Dreadnaughts. However, she discovered that the Jedi had been killed in the initial wave of Chiss attacks, and returned to the core to see to the families' safety. Thus, Pressor and his family were saved from the fate of the rest of the crew, as Force Commander Thrawn used radiation bombs against the Dreadnaughts, leaving the storage core alone. Later, when Outbound Flight crashed on a remote planetoid in the Redoubt, Pressor had an intuition about the imminent crash-landing, and warned his fellow survivors to brace for the impact. He later was at a loss to explain what prompted his warning, and refused to accept Uliar's insinuation that he had some sort of Jedi power. Dillian and his fellow technicians then struggled to ensure the survival of those individuals who were still alive, and he was instrumental in forming the Outbound Flight Colony. Dillian eventually died, leaving his son Jorad to lead the Survivors. (OF)

Pressor, Jorad
As a boy, this man and his family were part of the civilian complement that participated in the Outbound Flight Project, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, although he was just four at the time of Thrawn's attack on the mission. When Outbound Flight was attacked in the Unknown Regions and left to die, Pressor and his family were among the few beings who survived the attack, having been detained in the central storage core by Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth. Pressor watched his own father struggle to keep the survivors and the ships alive and active after they crash-landed in the Redoubt, which eventually led to the formation of the Outbound Flight Colony. It was during this time that he developed an angry resentment toward the Jedi Knights, since they had initially refused to train him as a Jedi, then were unable to stop Thrawn's attack or prevent the deaths of thousands of civilians. He later assumed the role of the Guardian of the People, helping the survivors and their children to stay alive until someone could rescue them. However, knowing where they had crashed, Pressor and his predecessors set up elaborate traps and surveillance systems to keep watch over their downed starships. Thus, when a Chiss-led mission to locate the remains of Outbound Flight actually found the ships, Pressor and his niece, Evlyn, trapped the mission's members in turbolifts until he could figure out what to do with them. He chose Dean Jinzler to act as the group's representative, having recognized the man's last name as that of Lorana Jinzler, one of the Jedi who were part of Outbound Flight. It was during their conversation that Pressor revealed that many of Outbound Flight's civilian members joined the mission to escape the decaying bureaucracy of the Old Republic. Pressor expressed confusion and amazement over the eventual formation of the Empire and the Galactic Civil War, but feared the New Republic was no different that the Old. His angry demeanor didn't improve when it was learned that Bearsh and his comrades were actually Vagaari pirates, as Pressor found himself faced with multiple groups of outsiders moving freely through the Outbound Flight. His own Peacekeepers were decimated in the attacks, and he resented the request to use the Outbound Flight Colony's medical facilities to help Aristocra Formbi and the other aliens. When Mara Jade Skywalker devised a plan to get them safely back to the main ship, and agreed to protect Evlyn, Pressor found himself grudgingly admiring the Jedi. He managed to see through his anger and recognize that she was acting for the safety of everyone aboard the Outbound Flight, not just her companions. After the Vagaari threat was eliminated, pressor agreed to accompany the Outbound Flight Colony to Nirauan, staying as far away from the New Republic as they could. (SQ, OF)

Pressor, Katarin
This young girl and her family were among the 50,000 civilians who were part of the Outbound Flight project, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Her father, Dillian Pressor, was one of the many technicians who were hired to keep the mission going. When Outbound Flight was attacked by the Chiss, the Pressor family was among a handful of groups that were detained in the central storage core by Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth, whom the workers had tried to overthrow. This saved their lives, as the Chiss only used radiation bombs against the Dreadnaughts of Outbound Flight. (OF)

Pressor Field
This specialized, field-generating device was developed for use during surgery, to provide localized pressure on blood vessels. This allowed a surgery nurse to clamp off a leaking artery without actually touching the vessel, greatly reducing the chance of infection. These devices were in short supply during the height of the Clone Wars, and many field doctors were forced to utilize mechanical clamps. (MBS)

Pressure Bomb
A detonation device which uses air pressure to knock out its targets. While not obviously destructive, a pressure bomb severely disables the hearing of its victims, and causes great pain to the victim's sinuses and cranial cavities. This often results in hearing loss, disorientation, and intense pain. (CS)

Pressure Cooker
This was a term used by the Intelligence agents of the Galactic Alliance to describe any facility that was set aside specifically as a think-tank during times of crisis. Technicians, coders and slicers, and other specialists from both the military and civilian sectors were brought together in the pressure cooker to live and work, with the goal of devising scenarios and solutions to the specific crisis. They were often asked to work sixteen to twenty standard hours a day in order to come up with solutions as quickly as posisble. (LF1)

Pressure Pirates
This was the term used to describe any gang of pirates who preyed upon starships and orbital stations which worked in the atmosphere of gas giant planets. They disabled their targets, causing the craft to sink into the atmosphere. As soon as the ships were evacuated and left to fall into the planet's core, the pressure pirates moved in. Using specially-designed equipment that could withstand intense pressure, the pirates then tracked the ship as it sank and looted it for any profit they could find. (TAE)

Prestar, Lorne
This man was living in the city of Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine during the height of the Galactic Civil War. A former militia man from Mos Taike, Prestar was also a supporter of the Empire during this time. (SWG2P)

Prexton Doublefield Generator
These forcefield generators were among the largest such devices ever constructed. Each unit could produce a forcefield sphere that measured up to 800 meters in diameter. This made the Prexton unit the perfect device for use on Loronar's Field Secured Container Vessels. (ISB)

Preybird-class Starfighter
A rare form of SoroSuub combat starship, the Preybird-class fighter was produced in extremely limited quantities. SoroSuub shut the project down after producing only a few production models. The smuggler Mazzic owned two of these ships. The design was eventually picked up by the remnants of the Empire under Moff Disra, who turned the plans over to Zothip and the Cavrilhu pirates. The Cavrilhu then began mass-producing the ships for Disra, who bypassed normal Imperial channels to fund the ships. Over time, the Preybird eventually replaced the TIE fighter, because it was cheaper to obtain them from pirates that from official Imperial channels. The twenty-meter-long Preybird had a long, central hull with a forward-situated cockpit. The wings were attached to the rear of the hull, rising up slightly before levelling off. A single laser cannon was mounted at the end of each wing, and the primary engines were located at the bend in the wings. (LCSB, SOP, GMR4)

Preying Makthier
Native to the crystal caves of Makthierse, this flying carnivore had a wingspan of up to two meters and a body length of 1.5 meters. These vicious predators were capable of consuming twice their body weight in food each day, and their voracious appetite made them almost fearless hunters. Mainly nocturnal, makthiers hunt in groups of ten, using a form of sonar to locate their prey. They use the stinger, located at the end of their tail, to immobile their prey with an injection of poison, then carry it off to their nests. There have even been documented reports of swarms of makthiers attacking and carrying off large farm animals. (COG)

Preza
The Yevethan name for Doornik-319. It was exterminated during the Yevethan Purge by Tal Fraan. (SOL)

Pria
This planet, the homeworld of the Priapulin race, was an aquatic world that was orbited by a single moon. One tidal hour on the planet equalled ten standard hours on Coruscant, and the planet experienced roughly two tidal cycles each day. During the height of the New Order, the average day on Pria lasted 20 standard hours, plus about three seconds. Pria, located in the Core Worlds, was a tectonically active planet, and the landmasses were moved and shaped much faster than normal. It was estimated that, due to sudden shifts in global temperature brought about by the creation or destruction of volcanoes and rifts, Pria experienced a new ice age every 10,000 years or so. (EGA, GMR8)

Priam
This Imperial Nebulon-B frigate was stationed near Kalla VII, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. The Empire had been building up its forces to attack the Alliance as part of Operation Strike Fear, stationing ships throughout the galaxy near worlds that had shown rebellious activity. The Alliance launched its own campaign to thwart the Imperial forces, and the frigate Priam was one of the many ships that were targeted by the Alliance. In a daring two-pronged assault, the Alliance's forced planned to first destroy the Priam's escort, then capture or destroy the frigate during a second wave of attacks. Unfortunately for the pilots from the Independence, Breth Gart was killed during the first half of the mission when his fighter crashed into the Priam as the frigate exited hyperspace. Although the mission was deemed a success due to the destruction of most of the Priam's escort fleet Keyan Farlander took the death of his comrade quite badly. He made the capture of the Priam a priority, and quickly put together a strike team. Without its escort, the Priam was forced to defend itself with TIE Fighters and TIE Bombers, which were no match for the Alliance's pilots. The frigate was soon captured and boarded, and was stolen by the Alliance. (XW, NECH, XWP)

Priamsta
This was the name adopted by the nobles of the planet Eiattu who rose up against Uthorrferrel Cartha. The Priamsta worked with the Empire to maintain some level of control over their planet's allegiances, and balked when Harran Estillo proclaimed himself Harrandatha, the crown Prince of Eiattu. When Plourr returned to Eiattu, she worked to remove all forms of Imperial control, and brought the opposing forces of the Priamsta and the People's Liberation Battalion under a single leader. This only occurred after Harran Estillo and Leonia Tavira were exposed. (XWWP)

Pri-Andylan Propulsion Systems
This corporation maintained an orbital shipyard near the planet Duro during the height of the New Order. Based in the Corellian System, Pri-Andylan had the backing of the Empire and operated the shipyards with military efficiency. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, most of Pri-Andylan's contracts dried up, and its facilities were overtaken by the Corporate Sector Authority. (GMR2)

Priapaulin
see Priapulin (GMR8)

Priapulin
This unusual alien species of gastropods was native to the planet Pria, and resembled a long, flat fish. The average Priapulin had five notochords along his length, making them seem wormlike when fully straightened. However, they preferred to form themselves into S-shaped curves, a position which allowed them to use their flat tails to brace themselves upright. They had three pairs of eyes which studded the front end of their bodies, and their underbellies were covered with thick bristles. These bristles would be used like hundreds of legs, moving the Priapulin about with a broom-like hissing sound. Other bristles could be used like hands or fingers. They were the top being in an incredible symbiotic relationship which involved food-kin and other creatures who served the Priapulin and, in turn, were served by the Priapulin. As a race, the Priapulins were dedicated to peace, and worked whenever possible to avoid conflicts. They were also known for their incredible sense of humor and deep sense of loyalty. (RP, EGA, GMR8)

Priare, Zonnos Anjiliac
This Hutt, the eldest child of Popara the Hutt, was known to other Hutts as Zonnos the Lesser. He was known to have maintained a group of Wookiee bodyguards during the early years of the New Order. Dspite his familial connection to Popara, Zonnos operated to his own agenda, which sometimes conflicted with that of his parent. Specifically, Zonnos was angry and jealous that Popara gave so much attention to his other offspring, Mika, and was willing to do whatever it took keep Mika in the background of the Anjiliac clan's operations. When Mika was stranded on Endregaad, Zonnos arranged to have a group of Bomu clan Rodians waylay the resuce mission. When the Bomu failed and Mika returned to Nar Shaddaa, Zonnos feigned relief, but refused to admit to any connection to the Bomu. For their part, the Bomu also refused to admit to a link, claiming that they had been hired by a third party. In the wake of Popara's murder and Mika's flight from Anjiliac Towers, Zonnos assumed control of the kajidic. Unknown to Mika, Zonnos had been taking tempest, and he went into a killing rage after Popara's death. Zonnos captured the agents who had been working for Popara, and ordered their immediate interrogation and execution. Vago, however, secretly hired them to track down Mika and the source of the tempest spice. With the agents freed, Zonnos placed a significant bounty on their heads, in an effort to entice most of Nar Shaddaa into recapturing them. In an effort to avenge the death of Popara, Zonnos apprehended Vago and held the Hutt captive, using his H-3PO droids to set a trap for the agents. His trap managed to capture a handful of the agents, as well as Angela Krin and Mika himself. During the interrogation of the captives, Zonnos experienced one of the most intense tempest highs of his life, and he shouted and screamed at any being who talked to him. In the midst of the interrogation, however, the tempest became too much for Zonnos. His mind snapped, and he went into a killing rage. The agents managed to get free before Zonnos could have them executed, and they captured the slobbering Zonnos. This fit in well with Mika's own plans, as he now had eliminated the two Hutts in the way of his own control of the Anjiliac clan. (TF, WOTC)

The ship was under the command of Admiral Nict when the Galactic Alliance was drawn into the trap that had been laid by Sith and Imperial forces near Caamas, and Nict was one of the first commanders to follow Gar Stazi into a hasty retreat. Unfortunately, Nict hesitated when he learned that all known hyperspace lanes along their escape vector had been mined.

Pride of Honor
This New Republic warship was one of many that were commandeered by Senators who were trying to flee the Yuuzhan Vong conquest of Coruscant. Despite the inevitablity of Coruscant's fall, many New Republic military officers decried the Senate's appropriation of military ships to escape Coruscant, especially knowing that thousands - if not millions - of civilians were stranded on the planet. The Pride of Honor was badly damaged during its "escape," and her Phindian Captain loudly criticized the loss of the ship in exchange for the lives of a few Senators. (DW)

Pride of Selonia
This New Republic Lancer-class frigate was commisioned during the early stages of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. In the wake of the Battle of Coruscant, the ship was placed under the command of Captain Todra Mayn. (FH1)

Pride of Selonia
This New Republic CR90 Corvette was the lead ship in a supply convoy travelling to Liinade III, when it was brought out of hyperspace by the Interdictor cruiser Binder near system M2934738. The attacking ships, under the direction of Prince-Admiral Krennel, pounded the Pride of Selonia the instant it dropped into realspace, preventing any sort of counterattack. The Pride of Selonia was destroyed in the attack, as was the frigate Interpid, before Krennel took possession of the twelve frieghters they were accompanying. (IR)

(EVC)

Pride of Yevetha
This recommissioned Super-class Star Destroyer - originally known in the Imperial Navy as the Intimidator - was captured from the Empire by the Yevetha just after the Battle of Endor. It later became the command ship for Dar Bille, and the flagship of Nil Spaar's navy. Spaar used it to transport the various prisoners the Yevetha had captured during the Purge of the Koornacht Cluster. In the wake of the Yevethan defeat at the hands of the New Republic, the Pride of Yevetha disappeared, but was found adrift and severely damaged near the Unknown Regions four years later. (BTS, TT, ECH)

Priest was known to his fellow Mandalorians as a violent man who may or may not have had ties to the Death Watch. During his time on Kamino, Priest often staged secret gladiator events, pitting clones against each other in hidden fight clubs. (RC66)

Priests
This was one of the main castes of Yuuzhan Vong society. The Priests were those individuals who were chosen to speak for their gods, although they only served the lesser gods of the Yuuzhan Vong pantheon. Only the Supreme Overlord could speak for Yun-Yuuzhan. There were four distinct levels within the Priest caste: High Priest (or High Priestess), Priest (or Priestess), Seer, and Novice. Although the Priest caste commanded the respect of the entire Yuuzhan Vong population, they were not ranked against the other castes in terms of power or position. The Priests were a separate class of individuals spanning all of Yuuzhan Vong society. In this way, the Priest class aslo did not have a patron, but worked as conduits for all. (NJOSB, UFCD)

Priests of Nether
This was the name used to describe the ancient caste of religious beings who ruled the planet Oblis, many millennia before the onset of the Clone Wars. It was the Priests of Nether who discovered the presence of a strange, shadowy creature in the space above Oblis, and worked with the scientist-philosophers to develop a plan to drive it away. The Priests of Nether were responsible for channeling the life-energies of the Oblee from three crystalline shards into the Darkstaff, which the scientist-philosophers believed would drive the creature away. However, after Oblis was destroyed, the Priests of Nether and the scientist-philosophers came to realize that they had been tricked into using the Darkstaff, which grew stronger by feeding on the life-energies of the Oblee. The Oblee were shifted out of their physical bodies into the shadowy realm of the continuum, where they existed as shadow lurkers until a group of freelance agents managed to destroy the shards, many millennia later during the Clone Wars. (BIT3)

Priests of Ninn

Primal
This was one of two Republic gunships that were dispatched to subdue the Almas Academy, in the hours following the command from Darth Sidious to execute Order 66. Jedi Master Darrus Jeht returned to the Cularin System shortly after the Primal and her sister gunship, the Undaunted, launched their attack. He witnessed them taking out several starships, most of which contained Jedi who were trying to escape from Almas.

Launching a daring attack, Jeht pretended that his own vessel, the Malestrom, was a support vessel that was just arriving for in-system clean-up, then passed between the two gunships. The Primal took minimal damage in the attack, but her weapons systems were shut down, and she could not return fire for several minutes while her clone troopers worked to bring the systems back online. In the meantime, the Undaunted was destroyed, and Master Jeht began to turn back toward the Primal. As the weapons came back online, the Primal returned Jeht's attack, pouirng turbolaser fire into its rear quarter and taking out one of the smaller vessel's drives. In a desparate maneuver, Jeht brought the Maelstrom to a complete stop, flipped the vessel over and began firing once again on the Primal. This maneuver gave the Maelstrom a clear shot at the Primal, and Master Jeht ordered his clone troopers to open fire with all weapons. Under the intense barrage, the Primal was ripped apart, and finally exploded in a ball of flame.

The explosion of the Primal allowed Master Jeht another surprising victory, as the ball of flame took out nearly all of his own supporting starfighters. The loss of the clone pilots all but ensured Jeht's ruse would not be reported to the clones troopers aboard the Maelstrom. (LFCW)

Primarin Starshipwrights Union
This collection of starship manufacturers went bankrupt during the last years of the Old Republic. (AIR)

Primary Zone
This was the military term used by navy officers to describe the region of space immediately surrounding a capital ship. This innermost region of fire was considered important to defend by most war ship captains, since many starship weapons systems were unable to effectively coordinate and target at such close range. Smaller vessels, such as starfighters, gained a distinct advantage if they could reach the Primary Zone, since they were highly maneuverable and could outrun or out-maneuver the larger ship's weapons. Once a starfighter was inside the Primary Zone, it could target a larger vessel's weak points with relative immunity. Defending starfighters could also maneuver in this area, but they had to be careful with their fire, lest they cause damage to the vessels they were defending. At this range, defending starfighters were also unable to bring missiles and other long-range weapons to bear, because they were often engaged in dogfights to defend their own capital ships. (RASB)

Primor
This Iskalonian male was considered The First to Swim, or the ruler of the planet Iskalon, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Primor was voted into his position of leadership because he was a fair bing who allowed the people to guide the actions of the government. He was also known for his patience, although his patience was tried when a delegation of Iskalonians traveled to Gamandar to negotiate a peace treaty with the Empire, sometime after the Battle of Yavin. The ambassadors were killed when their water tanks were purposely smashed, and the message of their assassinations was delivered with a warning that their fate was the only peace the Empire was willing to tolerate. Primor urged caution, but pleaded with Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, and Lando Calrissian to help free the Iskalon System from Imperial control. Unfortunately, Primor was killed in the tidal wave that destroyed Pavillion, before any lasting treaty with the Alliance could be formed. (MC74, MC75, GMR1)

Primus Goluud
This unstable red giant was the central star of the system containing Goluud Minor. A mining colony existed on the planet some 5,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. The Daragon siblings once charted a hyperspace route, which became known as the Goluud Corridor, that passed dangerously close to the star. A Cha'a drone ship was the first to use the route, and was destroyed when it strayed slightly off-course and exploded. The Goluud Corridor was abandoned, but the star was etched in history when Naga Sadow retreated to Primus Goluud as he launched his attack on the Old Republic. He drew on the intense energies during his meditations, allowing him to create incredibly far-reaching illusions of battle forces which augmented his own Massassi forces. Gav Daragon successfully broke Sadow's concentration and drew the Republic's fleet to Primus Goluud. Sadow, not wishing to be captured, used the Dark Side of the Force to rend the star apart, hoping to destroy all the ships gathered there. Gav Dargaon managed to provide the Republic ships with an escape vector before the star exploded. (GAS, FOSE)

Just as Luke Skywalked the Jedi's Revenge had paved the way for his original plan to capture Luke Skywalker, this new holothriller would serve to convince the masses of Leia's disappearance at Mindor. (LSSM)

The self-destruction order used on the Subjugator. (SF)

Priority Sector
This was a term used by the Empire to describe any sector of the known galaxy that experienced regular levels of unrst during the era of the New Order. Emperor Palpatine wanted to ensure that these sectors received more attention, since it was important to eliminate any resistance before it could grow into outright rebellion. The Emperor assigned a handful of Grand Moffs to oversee these priority sectors. Because controlling these priority sectors was a key objective of the Empire, the Grand Moffs controlling them received the newest and more advanced technologies and weaponry, in an effort to quell any insurgencies. (ISB)

Priority Signal Bravo
This was one of the many designations used by the Empire to describe the importance of a given transmission, during the years immediately following the Clone Wars. Any transmission that was coded as Priority Signal Bravo was often considered bad news for the recipient, as it usually contained an immediate recall order. (EAEG)

Priority Yellow
This was the Imperial code phrase which indicated a change in the modulation of communications equipment, especially after equipment was stolen or captured. Priority Yellow indicated a mandatory communications silence, to prevent the enemy from using stormtrooper helmets to intercept transmissions. (TG)

This was an Alliance Carrack-class cruiser, destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Prisma Storm
A term used by Corran Horn - alias Kieran Halycon - to describe the phenomenon of the changing from night to day on Yavin 4. As Corran discovered, the atmosphere on Yavin4 got very cold as it passed through the shadow of Yavin. Water crystals in the atmosphere would freeze into small crystals. When the mass of Yavin rose and began a new day, the orange light from the planet would be refracted in the billions of water crystals, looking like multicolored lightning in the air. (IJ)

Prisoner 67

Prit, Aveton
This man owned and operated Prit's Free Pit, near the city of Rigton, on Naalol, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Aveton was also an informant for the Empire, working for Nir Rinit in exchange for certain rights and credits. He used much of the pay he received from Rinit to install high-tech security features in the Pit, including several miniature recording devices planted on his servant droids. (GMR5, WOTC)

Prithann, Clis
This woman was a lifetime friend of the Captisan and Belden families of Bakura, and served as the primary medical aide taking care of Eppie Belden during the height of the New Order. She was trained at the Imperial medical facility on Bakura, but preferred to use natural remedies instead of the manufactured drugs of her teachers. Despite her soft-spoken demeanor, Clis was an active supporter of the Bakura resistance, and ever helped in the capture of Wilek Nereus during the Battle of Bakura. (TB, TBSB)

Prit's Free Pit
This restaurant, located in tunnel 329 beneath the city of Rigton, on the planet Naalol, was actually carved from the rock of the mountain in which it was located. The tavern was owned and operated by Aveton Prit during the height of the Galactic Civil War. During this period, Prit was paid handsomely by Nir Rinit, who used the Pit as a place to gather intelligence on Alliance activities in the area. The entrance to the Free Pit was protected by sophisticated weapons scanners, as Prit guaranteed that his establishment was free of dangerous weapons. (GMR5, WOTC, WOA36)

Pritsi
This was a common name among the Kushiban race. (UANT)

Prittick
Tis Imperial fleet Admiral was placed in charge of regrouping the Imperial Fleet fleet following the Battle of Endor. (TB)

Private Journals of Mace Windu, The
This collection of memoirs was published by various media outlets on Coruscant during the weeks that followed the so-called Jedi Rebellion. Claiming to have been the personal writings of Jedi Master Mace Windu, the Private Journals explained a great deal about the inner workings of the Jedi Order, and served to convince the general public that the Jedi Order had been planning to overthrow the Galactic Republic for som time before the onset of the Clone Wars. In reality, these Private Journals were written by the Imperial propaganda ministry, although it was later believed that much of the content was taken from recordings that might have actually been made by Mace Windu himself. This might have helped lend an air of credibility to the journals. (EGF)

Private Luxsub
This was one of the many submersible transport businesses operating on Pavo Prime during the early years of the New Republic. It offered a limited number of private compartments aboard each transport, as well as a large amount of common space. (SWI67)

Priviewer
This was a form of personal viewing system in which the audio and video delivery systems were combined into a single, crown-like device that was placed over a being's head. The integrated visor and earphones allowed a being to watch a holovid, sporting event, or newsfeed in relative privacy. Priviewers were developed during the final decades of the Old Republic. (CN2)

Privitt
This Imperial officer was one of a handful who were stationed at the relay outpost on the planet Vaal, during the period leading up to the Battle of Yavin. He had joined the team on Vaal shortly before the destruction of the first Death Star, and hadn't been away from the Imperial Academy long enough to understand the lackadaisical attitude of the other officers stationed on the remote planet, especially Reybn. Just as he was starting to embrace their laxity, Privitt discovered that Darth Vader had landed on the planet. As Vader took the only shuttle found at the outpost to return to Coruscant, a pack of mammalian predators entered the compound and killed the officers, including Privitt. (SWESH)

Prm-3
This weapons system was designed by BlasTech for use on small civilian craft, and consisted of an autoblaster or pulse laser cannon which lacked an internal targeting system. Thus, the Prm-3 had to obtain targetting information directly from the ship's sensor package. (SS, SWJ5)

Probe
Any of the various automated spacecraft designed to maneuver into a positon from whic they can monitor a star system's activity. There were two basic types of probes used in the galaxy, both about 5 meters in length and unshielded (5-RU hulls): Type A, a spy probe that resembles an E-class container; and Type B, a spider-like spy probe with more maneuverability. (TIE)

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

Probe Droid
Any of the various droids used to search out remote data. They were often dispensed from large starships in small propulsion capsules. The droid emerges from the capsule on planetfall, and begins following its programmed mission. The droids were equipped with motion detectors, video and audio recording devices, and holographic transmittors. The first probe droids were used to search out metals and fuel sources on remote planets. Later, exploratory probe droids were sent out to look for inhabited planets. After Palpatine assumed control of the galaxy, most exploratory probe droids were reprogrammed to hunt down the bases used by the Alliance, pursue fleeing targets, act as picket line sensors, and to perform spy missions. For these reasons, they were outfitted with protective armaments and self-destruct mechanisms. (E5, ISB)

Probe-Mate
This was the name of Arakyd's specialized hyperspace pod delivery system, developed to carry Viper probe droids to their targets. (RESB)

Probiotic Shower
Developed on the planet Haruun Kal, this chemical shower was used at spaceports to replace the beneficial skin bacteria which were killed upon passing through the surgical umbrella field. Every being arriving on the planet had to pass through customs, and to reach customs they moved through the probiotic shower. (SHPT)

Probiotic Tablet
Similar in most respects to a probiotic shower, these medicinal tablets were given to newly-arrived individuals on the planet Haruun Kal to replace intestinal bacteria which may have been killed during passage through a surgical umbrella field. (SHPT)

Probos
A female Duro, and tract mate to Bringe, Probos was actually an alias used by Cachi DeMaal. Together, Bringe and Probos were starcharters working for the Empire. They were charting the space beyond the Outer Rim, when they happened to be in the Mos Eisley cantina when Obi-Wan and Luke approached Han Solo for passage to Alderaan. They debated whether to tell the Imperial about it. A graduate of the Duro Academy of Deep Space Exploration, she can boast no less than 3 unguided trips through hyperspace. She and Bringe know of a huge deposit of Helixell somewhere in the Outer Rim or beyond, but they have not told anyone where it is. (E4, SCRE, GMR2)

Probot
see Probe Droid (E5N)

Procession
This was the name given to the wide thoroughfare which dominated the Kala'uun Starport. (PSPG)

Processional Way
This wide walkway led up the steps of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the final centuries of the Old Republic. At the top of the steps stood four statues depicting two Jedi Master warriors and two Jedi Master sages. The Processional Way was later rebuilt, when Luke Skywalker re-established a Jedi Temple on the planet Coruscant, in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong War. (SWCL, FJ1)

Proclamation Boards
These variable message boards were displayed along the Grand Concourse in the Senate Rotunda, on the planet Coruscant, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Proclamation Boards continually displayed information on the laws and amendments being considered by the Galactic Senate, as well as the status of the ongoing struggle against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. (E3N)

Procopia
This planet, located in Tapani Sector, was the political capital of the sector. It was also the social capital of the sector during the Capital Season. The nobility and upper class of the sector travel to Procopia to maintain their social standing and reputation, while spying on their peers and looking for intrigue. Those who do not make the trip during Capital Season were often snubbed or blacklisted, which affects social standing as well as political and economic position. The planet itself was covered several chains of islands scattered throughout warm seas, making it quite beautiful to behold. The only true landmass, the continent of Davla, was located at the southern pole and was covered with seething volcanoes. (LOE, PGT)

Procopia Preowned Automata
This used-droid dealership was located on the planet Procopia, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (NEGD)

This was the codename of Kala Kevv, the Alliance starfighter pilot shot down over NCW-781. (IA)

Prodigal-Two
This was the codename of the datacard created by Alliance agent Prodigal-One. It contained information on a pair of Imperial double-agents working for the Alliance. (IA)

Prodmash
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)

Productivity Day
This Tapani Sector holiday fell between the months of Nelona and Helona. (PGT)

Professiona Artists Guild
This guild of noted artists from the Elrood Sector was based on Akana. The name "Professiona" was chosen for its exotic sound. (PG3)

Profex
This was the title given to certain professors who taught at the University of Sanbra. (GMR10)

Proficient-class Cruiser
This Corellian-made warship was developed in the early decades of the New Republic, and saw duty as part of the Republic's newer fleets. It measured 850 meters in length, and was equipped with a Damorian power plant. Depsite its size, it was lightly armed with just ten heavy turbolasers and twenty ion cannons. The original designs were meant to be modular, but later refits removed the compartmentalized holds in favor of docking bays. (HT)

Profit
This former Trade Federation Battleship was commanded by Dool Pundar, during the months following the Battle of Naboo. Pundar defected from the Federation during the blockade of Naboo, and set out to create his own criminal empire. The Profit served as his flagship, and was used with ruthless effectiveness in his attacks on Federation outposts. Pundar used falsified transponder identification codes to gain access to Federation space, using these codes to get close enough to other ships to board them before making off with their cargoes and, sometimes, the other ship as well. (WOTC)

Profit
This small freighter was part of the pirate fleet controlled by Larken and the Pillage. It was captained by Druug, but was destroyed by the Interceptor-class freighter Kizbon's Box. (SWJ5)

Profitable
This Trade Federation freighter was one of many such ships that were refitted for military use, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. It was dispatched to Corellia, under the command of Nute Gunray, to capture a renegade scientist sometime after the Battle of Naboo. It was believed that Gunray was ordered to take on the mission by Darth Sidious, after a bounty hunter claimed that he had been hired by Gunray to capture the scientist. (GCG)

Profiteer
This was the Basic name of the Trade Federation freighter Saak'ak. (COD)

Profiteroles Ukio
This sweet dessert was created on the planet Ukio. It was made from puff pastries that were filled with a caramel ganache sauce. (YDR)

ProfitSmasher
This starship was owned by a crew which was deeply in debt to Brebu, a Hutt crimelord. When they defaulted on their loan payments, the Hutt sent his thugs out to make the crew pay for their mistake. The thugs shot down the ProfitSmasher on an unspecified backwater planet, and all aboard were either killed or enslaved by the Hutt. In the years since the crash, the dead hull of the ship had been gutted and stripped of all salvageable components. Many a pirate or criminal had tried to turn the hulk of the ProfitSmasher into their personal base, but every such venture seemed to end in disaster. Most modern spacers leave the crash site alone, fearing their own misfortunes. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Brebu began devising a plan to turn the hulk of the ProfitSmasher into his own base. (HAS)

Profogg
This species of large rodent was native to the deserts of the planet Tatooine. They lived in "towns" which were formed by a complex series of tunnels and chambers dug out of the sand and could accommodate up to 100 individuals. Incredibly social, the profoggs had distinct uses for each chamber. Profoggs were known for their fast rate of reproduction, giving birth to up to eight young as often as eight times a year. The profogg was distinguished by its unusual head, which was ratlike and filled with sharp incisors. Atop its nose was a prominent horn, used for digging and foraging. The backside of the profogg was covered with thick, scale-like plates that helped protect them from the sun. (WSW)

Profrogg
This was a common misspelling of profogg. (RF3)

Profus, Glorii
This male Kaminoan served as a mentop to many clone troopers produced for the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Profus was stationed on Vandor-3 during, helping the survivors of the training facilities there continue to operate as effective soldiers. (TCD)

Progate Temple
This was one of the many unusual buildings that were constructed by the Geonosians on their homeworld. Progate Temple was built by the Stalgasin hive as a place where the hive's Queen, Karina, would be safe from prying eyes. Stone carvings that depicted Queen Karina's visage were placed over the various portals on the main floor of the Temple, as both a warning and an invitation. About a year after the Battle of Geonosis, the Galactic Republic returned to the planet to capture Poggle the Lesser. The Progate Temple took heavy damage during this second wave of attacks, but the main structure remained intact, thereby protecting the Queen in her lair. (CWTV29)

Progenitor
According to the members of the Order of Shasa, the Progenitor was the first Selkath to ever move about on the planet Manaan. It was from the Progenitor that the Selkath race developed. Some other xenobiologists claimed that the Progenitor was the parent who brought the firaxan shark into existence. The Progenitor kept the firaxa under control, and the death of the Progenitor allowed the firaxa to prowl the oceans of Manaan on their own. (PH, WOTC)

Progenitor's Call
This unique ability to call upon the power of the Force was isolated to those Selkath who became members of the Order of Shasa. The power of the Force was believed to have come directly from the Progenitor, the being who was believed to have formed the Selkath race many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. (PH)

Progga
This minor Hutt crimelord managed a small criminal empire on the fringes of the Unknown Regions, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Some five years after Naboo, Progga tried to steal a shipment that was being transported by Dubrak Qennto and the crew of the Bargain Hunter, but the small freighter managed to escape into hyperspace. Progga's crew followed their vector, and managed to relocate them just inside the boundaries of Chiss space. Just when Progga was ready to capture Qennto and his vessel, a group of Chiss warships appeared on the scene. Although Qennto was able to put some space between the Bargain Hunter and Progga's vessel, the Chiss quickly surrounded them both. Where Qennto held his fire, Progga ordered his crewers to open fire on the Chiss ship, the Springhawk. This allowed then Force Commander Thrawn to return fire, and his gunners quickly disabled Progga's ship. When the Hutt refused to surrender, Thrawn's gunners destroyed Progga's ship, killing the Hutt and all crewmembers aboard. (OF)

Program Trap
A form of computer virus that was programmed into a droid's memory which causes a power overload in the droid's circuits. The result was an explosive detonation device similar to a medium-sized bomb. (SW)

Program, The
This was the term used by Melen Toobo to describe his plans to lobotomize Coruscani Ogres, in an effort to create a cheap pool of "organic droids" to serve as his docile workforce. The first ogres put through The Program were utter failures, emerging from surgery even more savage than before. The success of the individual known as Friendly emboldened Toobo to begin full-scale conversion, although Friendly turned out to be a fluke. Subsequent conversions resulted in ogres that were uncontrollable, and had to be turned off in order to prevent widespread damage. When the Empire discovered The Program, it tried to use the lobotomized ogres as a form of soldier, dispatched to rebellious worlds to wreak havoc on the population. Then, a squadron of stromtroopers would arrive and eliminate the ogres, winning the support of the frightened population. (WOTC)

Progress
This was one of the four statues that graced the arrival halls of Coruscant's primary spaceport, during the years following the Swarm War. The abstract statues represented the four key tenets of the Galactic Alliance government: prosperity, progress, culture, and peace. (LF5)

Progression
This was a time measurement, equivalent to a local year, used by the Brigians. (HSL)

Progressives

Proi, Norda
A New Republic Lieutenant serving on the Steadfast under Captain Oolas. (BTS)

Project Ambition
This was the codename of Ysanne Isard's plan to eliminate the Cabal which opposed the Imperial Ruling Council and dispose of Sate Pestage, thereby given her complete control of the Empire's remnants, in the wake of the Battle of Endor. (XWES)

Project Aralia
An amusement park built on the planet Aralia. The Ranats tried to stall the construction of the park, and its builders complained to the Empire. This led to the decree that Ranats could be killed in self-defense, and could not carry weapons. (GG4)

Project Asteroid
An infamous Imperial operation which used many of the battle tactics devised by Jan Dodonna. (MTS)

Project Black Harvest
This was the secret name given to Lord Arkoh Adasca's plans to use captive exogorths, equipped with portable hyperdrives, to destroy entire planetary systems. Lord Adasca hoped to sell this system to the highest bidder, during the height of the Mandalorian Wars. (WOTC)

Project Chubar
Named for the animated bilar of children's stories, Project Chubar was Warlord Zsinj's pet project. Its goal was to produce highly intelligent soldiers from the more primitive, non-human species in the galaxy. The project focused primarily on Gamorreans, Ewoks, and Talz, but also included Ortolans, Ranats, and Bilars. Using chemical treatments and educational imprinting similar to that used on clones, scientists from Binring Biomedical's Epsilon Wing discovered that their subjects could obtain near-human intelligence. This allowed them to learn complex tasks, such as flying a starship. A secondary goal was to stimulate the aggression centers of the subjects' brains, thereby creating a group of brutal soldiers which could act on Zsinj's orders. The project was nearly scuttled by one of its lead scientists, Tuzin Gast, who staged an explosion in the labs on Saffalore in hopes of letting the test subjects escape. Gast himself died in the blast, but only a single creature escaped. Known as subject Gamma-9104, this Gamorrean fled Saffalore and joined the New Republic, taking the name Voort saBinring. (SOC)

Project Dead Eye
This Imperial operation was exposed shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The lead scientist for the project, Dr. Vacca, was a native of the planet Alderaan, a fact that led many Alderaanian survivors to question his true loyalties. The project was designed to increase the ability of Imperial stormtroopers to accurately target their weapons. By using native Alderaanian plants, Dr. Vacca created a stimulant drug that increased the visual acuity of a stormtrooper. This stim also increased their combat abilities, a beneficial side effect that served to increase Dead Eye's worth to the Empire. However, the destruction of Alderaan meant that there were very few remaining stores of Alderaanina flora, forcing Dr. Vacca to rethink his work. When he decided to defect from Imperial service and join the Alliance, all materials from Project Dead Eye were turned over to Alliance scientists for further investigation. (SWGAL)

Project Death Star
This was the term used to describe the original plans to develop the Death Star space station, as indicated by the plans which were stolen by the Alliance just prior to the Battle of Yavin. (RESB)

Project Decoy
This was the codename of the Alliance's plan to develop human replica droids that could be used to impersonate Imperial officers. Before the Alliance could bring the plan to fruition, it ran out of funding, and Project Decoy was shelved. Meanwhile, the Empire managed to acquire the research from the project and built their own HRD. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, the New Republic chose to revive the project, and assigned it to Fandar and Fugo as part of the New Republic's Defense Research and Planetary Assistance Center initiative. The first human replica droid was built to resemble Princess Leia, who was being pursued by Zorba the Hutt and Trioculus. However, the HRDs produced by the New Republic proved to be too clumsy and droid-like to pass for real humans. (MMY, QE, SSE, NEGD)

Project Funeral
This was one of Warlord Zsinj's most ambitious actions against the New Republic. It involved the insertion of agents into all levels of the New Republic government, and was a spin-off of Projects Chubar and Minefield. A few of the agents were simply messengers, who would deliver the code phrases needed to activate the programming installed as part of Project Minefield. The majority of the agents were non-humans who held positions in which they were trusted and respected. Zsinj began stirring up the racial tensions by compelling the non-humans to take violent actions against human personnel. However, Zsinj's actions were discovered by Wraith Squadron, and so many of the agents that were part of Project Funeral were captured or neutralized before they could do any damage. (SOC)

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

Project Minefield
This was a project established by Warlord Zsinj, during his struggles against the New Republic. It was a spin-off from Project Chubar, and invovled the use of certain chemical treatments to brainwash the more intelligent, non-human species of the galaxy. While Project Chubar could produce subjects capable of successive missions, the subjects of Project Minefield were considered expendable. This was because the brainwashing, once activated, would compel them to actions which would lead to their demise once their mission was carried out. The subjects were implanted with the need to complete a specific task, nmost often the assassination of another being. The subject was activated upon hearing a code phrase which contained a reference to their target. The brainwashing was not complete, as many early test subjects were able to see that the compelling act was wrong, but they often carried it out anyway. Zsinj used the subjects of this project to begin sowing seeds of division between the human and non-human races of the New Republic. However, it was discovered by New Republic Intelligence after the capture of Doctor Edda Gast. (SOC)

Project Moort
Developed by Warlord Zsinj, this project attempted to use Morrt-class droids to reveal the locations of enemy warships. (NEGC)

Project Nightsaber
This project was the brainchild of Imperial General Vit, who was based on the planet Dathomir some twelve years after the Battle of Yavin. Vit spent a great deal of credits on excavations of the Chu'unthor, hoping to obtain Jedi lightsabers and other artifacts. His plan called for luring a disgruntled Jedi Knight to Dathomir, and convincing them to join him in a crusade against the New Republic. This turncoat Jedi would then train legions of Force-sensitive Imperial agents, the culmination of the project. General Vit thought he had the perfect candidate whjen Dal Konur was stranded on Dathomir, but the Jedi team sent to apprehend Konur managed to capture the rogue Jedi and defeat Vit in combat. Thus, Project Nightsaber never came to fruition. (WOA30)

Project Orrad
This secret Imperial project was run in an underground lab on Venaari. Plans for the project were stolen by Shandria L'hnnar and Sienn Sconn before the project could be initiated. (SWJ5)

Project Phlutdroid
This was the codename of the IG-88 development project created by Holowan Mechanicals. The codename was originally created by Phlut Design Systems, which created Project Phlutdroid as a way to produce and sell war droids to the Trade Federation. The plans for the IG-series assassin droids were originally developed by Phlut Designs Systems, but were acquired by Holowan when PDS defaulted on a loan they had secured from the InterGalactic Banking Clan. PDS went bankrupt before it could build them, and the plans were later acquired by Holowan. (E5, EGD, NEGD)

Project Second Chance
This New Republic operation involved the hiring of a group of smugglers to assist the Kalinda System in repelling the Imperial and Corporate Sector forces which tried to control it. The Republic knew that the Kalindan military had been developing a technology that would negate the effects of a cloaking device, and wanted to make sure it didn't fall into the wrong hands. Implemented by Clivis Damand, the project was never given the consent of the Ruling Council, and was conducted without their knowledge. The goal of the project was for the smugglers to transport a modular command circuit to the Kalindans, which would be used to activate their deep-space defense network. The project was successful, and the Kalindans were able to repel both of the forces arrayed against them, seemingly without intervention from the New Republic. (TSK)

Project Starscream
This secret project was developed by Mammon Hoole and Borborygmus Gog, and directly funded by Emperor Palpatine. Its ultimate goal was the creation of a living army that was impervious to most forms of attack. The Project's primary laboratories were located on the planet Kiva, until an early experimental failure in the control of life and death wiped out all life on the planet. Gog assured that Hoole would be blamed for the accident, then secured continued funding from Palpatine. The Emperor placed Darth Vader in control of the project, which continued at a rapid pace. The first step in Gog's plan was to create life from nothing, and the result was the planet D'vouran. Despite this success, D'vouran outgrew its creators and escaped after consuming many of the Project's scientists. Gog continued, employing Doctor Evazan in an effort to bring the death back to life on the planet Necropolis. Evazan managed to discover a formula, but its effects were limited and required diligent planning. The next step involved discovering a way to propagate the army without continual expenditure, and involved the development of ancient viruses on Gobindi. Further experiments yielded the Nightmare Machine, which proved that Gog's scientists could extract a person's deepest fears from their mind and use them as a weapon, and a way to control the Force itself. This last step was never achieved, although a test subject was created by Gog. Known only as Eppon and called the first of Gog's Army of Terror, Eppon was a biological construct that could consume its opponents and grow stronger, could read their darkest fears and turn them against them, and could return from death rapidly. However, Hoole returned from hiding in an effort to thwart Gog's plans. In the end, Gog and Hoole battled on the planet Kiva, where the wraiths of the dead Kivans consumed Gog shortly after he destroyed Eppon. (GOF1, GOF2, GOF3, GOF4, GOF5, GOF6)

Project Wayfarer
This Old Republic exploration endeavor, led by the Republic Scout Service, was charged with probing the fringes of the known galaxy by dispatching a variety of deep-space probes. (PG3)

Project: Another Chance
This was Alderaan's massive disarmament effort, which was initiated in the wake of the Clone Wars. Led by Corla Metonae, the project involved the retrofitting of a war frigate to serve as the repository of Alderaan's weapons arsenal. Accompanied by three automated escorts, the Another Chance was programmed to jump around the galaxy, avoiding contact with other ships until it was recalled to Alderaan by the Council of Elders. Although the project was initially a success, especially after Metonae launched a decoy fleet to throw off the pursuit of Imperial spies, the destruction of Alderaan left the Another Chance and its escorts without a source of orders. The Alliance eventually recovered the ships, shortly before the Battle of Hoth. (SWDB)

Projectile Cannon
This outdated form of weapon used a mild explosive to launch a solid projectile at its target. (KO)

Projection Pad
This was the name given to the part of a holographic communication system that was used to gather data about a being's appearance and stature. When standing on the projection pad, a being had their physical form captured by the commmunication system, and the digitized image was then transmitted to a receiver. Audio pickups on the projection pad captured the vocal part of the communication, synchronizing it with the video portion to produce a near-realtime holographic representation to the being on the receiving end of the transmission. (SWMW, CN3)

Prominence
This Corellian Engineering Corporation Republic Cruiser was one of the Old Republic ships dispatched to Asmeru to root out the Nebula Front, about a year before the Battle of Naboo. This ship transported Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and a team of Jedi to Asmeru, at the behest of Chancellor Valorum. In order to escape a trap laid by the Nebula Front, the pilot and co-pilot were forced to jettison the salon pod in its nose to distract the fighters harassing it.

This Rabaanite ceremony involves the betrothal of two members of a social caste. (SWJ9)

Promised Land
According to legends that circulated through the Lower City of Taris during the centuries leading up to the Great Sith War, the Promised Land was a place where the Outcasts - those disenfranchised beings who lived in the Lower City - could exist without persecution and poverty. The Promised Land was located deep underground, and was rumored to be safe from invasion or attack. Unfortunately, the story of the Promised Land told that any being who entered it could never return to their former home. Some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, it was believed that the entrance to the Promised Land was somewhere in the sewers of the Lower City, but no such entrance was ever found. (KOTOR, KORH)

Promised One
According to Kathol legend, the Promised One was the being who would awaken the Sleeper. The identity of the Promised One was revealed to be Jessa Dajus, four years after the Battle of Endor, when the crew of the FarStar discovered DarkStryder's lair on the planet Kathol. (E)

Sol Proofrock once paid Bal Rado for a shipment of spice, and later learned from a Toydarian smuggler named Droo Wabbin that Rado did not have the drugs to sell. Within a few days, Bal Rado was found murdered. Although no formal charges were filed against Proofrock, Jax Pavan and Haninum Tyk Rhinann discovered that a large sum of credits had been deposited into Wabbin's account, and they also learned that more spice had been made its way into the Zi-Kree sector of Coruscant. (CN3)

Prophecy of the Five, The
This was another name for the Rogue Moon Prophecy, which described a group of five individuals who would bring down the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order, thereby making way for the Sith to assume control of the galaxy. (KOR7)

Prophecy of the Sith
This was a prophecy that was discovered by the Dark Jedi Lumiya, during the years following the Galactic Civil War. She later encoded the Prophecy into the strange tassels that Jacen Solo found on Toryaz Station, in the hope that he would discover the words and join her in discovering if the Prophecy was true. The Prophecy of the Sith contained many lines, and Lumiya coded each line with a different form of tactile writing into the tassel.

When completely translated by Doctor Heilan Rotham, the Prophecy read:

"He will remake (or rename) himself.
He will ruin those who deny justice.
He will choose the fate of the weak.
He will choose how he will be loved.
He will win and break his chains.
He will shed his skin and choose a new skin.
He will strengthen himself through sacrifice.
He will know brotherhood.
He will make a pet.
He will strengthen himself through pain.
He will be drawn from peace into conflict.
He will immortalize his love."

Jacen had many questions about the text of the Prophecy, since many of the things that "he" was supposed to do could happen in a number of ways. Lumiya was unable to give him definitive answers, since the only true way to know would be to understand the answer in your heart. The most troublesome of the lines involved the immortalizing of his love and his strenthening through sacrifice. Jacen feared that he would have to kill someone he loved in order to prove himself worthy of becoming a Sith Master, maybe even his own daughter.

The tassels, known as the Lorrd Artifact, were later investigated by several other scholars at the University of Pangalactic Cultural Studies, giving Doctor Rotham reason enough to change the order of the verses and some of the wording, to better convey the meaning of the Prophecy:

"He will choose the fate of the weak.
He will win and break his chains.
He will choose how he will be loved.
He will stengthen himself through sacrifice.
He will make a pet.
He will strengthen himself through pain.
He will balance between peace and conflict.
He will know brotherhood.
He will remake himself.
He will immortalize his love." (LF1, LF2, LF5)

Prophecy of Vaal
This work of art, owned by Gallo Memm during the height of the New Order, depicted the prophecy of the ancient seer Vaal. A stark piece, the Prophecy of Vaal was single page of manuscript done in black ink, cobalt chalk, and gold leaf. (GMR8)

Prophet of the Void
This was the title given to the leader of the Charon Cult of Death. The Prophet was an individual who was, in effect, the supreme leader of the Charon race. (GG4, UANT)

Prophet, The
This was the Basic translation of the name given to the Yuuzhan Vong individual known as Yu'shaa. (FH2)

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

Prophetess
This woman roamed the streets and alleyways of the spaceport city of Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. While many considered her a shyster and a cheap fortune teller, others believed that she was a true psychic who could read the future. Much of her information was later discovered to be true, but her ability to predict the future came more from her contacts within the local government than from any ability to see into the future.

The Prophetess spent much of her time roaming the streets as an agent of Governor Tour Aryon, keeping tabs on the various activities of Jabba the Hutt and his many minions.

Among her many weird and unsubstantiated ramblings was the pronouncement that Wuher, the daytime bartender at Chalmun's Cantina, was actually the reincarnation of Cedo Partu, the man who was credited with building the fortification that now served as the cantina's building. (CCG, SWI91)

Prophetess
This was the codename used by the Dark Jedi Sariss, during her tenure with the Church of the Dark Side. (WOTC)

Prophetess, The
According to Chiss records, this woman oversaw the development of the Yashuvhi colony, instilling in them an obscure knowledge of the Force. Further investigation by Luke Skywalker into the books of the Expeditionary Library revealed that the Prophetess was actually Valara Saar. (FH2)

Prophets of the Dark Side
Although many historians considered this to be the name of a secretly-operating group of Imperial Intelligence agents who spied on the galaxy's activities for Darth Sidious, the origins of the Prophets of the Dark Side were later traced back to Darth Millennial and his Dark Side religion. The group was formed on the planet Dromund Kaas, after Darth Millennial escaped from his master, Darth Cognus, after an argument about the Rule of Two. Millennial adhered to the Rule of the Strong, and set out to prove former master wrong. On Dromund Kaas, Millennial and his followers merged Sith teaching with the philosophies of Plaristes and Dak Ramis, creating the complex religion known as the Dark Force.

The Prophets were all trained in the use of the Dark Side of the Force, and used their power to delve into the possible future outcomes of any event. Any individual who disagreed with what Darth Millennial said or did was summarily executed. During the final years of the Old Republic, the Prophets of the Dark Side were discovered by Darth Sidious, who then bent them to his own will. He had them begin the training of several key individuals, known as the Emperor's Hands, the Emperor's Eyes, and the Emperor's Reach. During the height of the New Order, the Prophets were led by Kadann, the Supreme Prophet. The prophets appeared to be black-bearded individuals who wore gleaming black robes. Kadann did not agreed with Palpatine's machinations, and loudly disagreed with the Emperor's need to foresee a victory at the Battle of Endor. When Palpatine dispatched a group of Inquisitors to root out the Prophets, Kadann an dhis followers fled to Bosthirda.

After the Battle of Endor, the so-called Church of the Dark Side was established by Sate Pestage and the agent known as Blackhole, as a way to fulfill the public's need for prophecy concerning the future of the galaxy. Each of the new "Prophets" obtained a great deal of power within the remnants of the Empire, and many of them made some bold revelations and predictions. Among them, the Prophets supposedly had predicted the exact time and place for the destruction of both Death Stars by the Alliance. They continually worked to make sure their prophecies come true, at any cost, in order to retain their power. Eventually, these imposters were killed by Grand Admiral Makati, paving the way for Kadann and the true Prophets to return. As they made plans to travel to Coruscant, the Prophets were destroyed from within, as Azrakel killed Kadann and many others before being destroyed by Lumiya. (LCJ, DSSB, WOTC, OWS, EGF)

Proponents for a Standard Revised Galactic Continuity
This ancient group of historians and educators was a driving force in the galaxy, more than 15,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The efforts of the Proponents for a Standard Revised Galactic Continuity focused on ensuring that the history of the galaxy was recorded as truthfully and succintly as possible, and identifying stories and writings that failed to live up to their standards. Among the many artists who were targeted by the group was Peshosloc, whose gory depictions of the events in the life of Xim the Despot were deemed to be little more than perversions of the truth that were used for entertainment purposes. (OWS)

Prosecutor
This Separatist vessel was captured by Delta Squad, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. While the clone commandos were shaking the vessel down for assimilation into the Old Republic's fleet, they received a Red Zero distress signal from Omega Squad, which was operating the Tynnan Sector of the galaxy. The Delta Squad troopers responded immediately, despite the fact that they were traveling in a Separatist vessel. (RCTZ)

Prospector's Riot
This was the name used by the natives of the planet Tatooine to describe the uproar that occurred after the captain of the Lucky Despot sold a shipment of M-HYD divining droids to the planet's inhabitants, several years before the Battle of Yavin. The captain claimed that the M-HYD could be used as a moisture-prospecting unit, which prompted many entrepreneurial moisture farmers and explorers to buy them up. Unfortunately, the M-HYD's sounding system was unable to penetrate Tatooine's crust, and any water that was collected by a droid was often stolen by Tusken Raiders. When the buyers of these droids demanded their credits back, the crew of the Lucky Despot refused, sparking a legal debate that eventually cost the captain of the Lucky Despot his entire fortune. (SWDB)

Prosperity
This Fondorian cruiser was part of the fleet that defended the planet during the Second Battle of Fondor, some forty years after the Battle of Yavin. The Prosperity was the first ship to take damage from the Anakin Solo, when Jacen Solo broke away from the Galactic Alliance forces and began bombarding Fondor's cities from orbit. Solo was relieved of command by Admiral Cha Niathal, but refused to acknowledge her orders. Instead, he fired on the Prosperity in an effort to escape from Fondor and flee to Coruscant, where he could consolidate his own base of power. (LF8)

It required a crew of 100 officers and 24 gunners, and could transport up to 400 passengers and 2,500 metric tons of cargo. It was armed with six heavy turbolasers and a pair of tractor beam projectors. (PG3)

Prosperous
This was one of the many droid-controlled cruisers that were assigned to the task force that accompanied General Grievous in his assault on Coruscant, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. During the Battle of Coruscant, the Prosperous was commandeered by Jedi Master Saesee Tiin and a group of survivors from the Impavid.

Protas
This native of Anobis was Elis' younger brother. He was nineteen years old at the time Han Solo came to Anobis to discuss a cease-fire to the civil war there. During the war, he had become proficient at laying traps that eliminated the farmers of the plains. He also had developed a close relationship with Anja Gallandro, based on the proximity of their families. When she returned to Anobis with Solo, she tricked him into attacking the Ynos' village during the early stages of the cease-fire. Protas was hot-headed enough to go along, and worked hard to lay traps for the returning farmers. He was going to make one last trap for Ynos, and returned to his house shortly after Anja set a burrowing detonator in the doorway. When Protas stepped across the threshold, he activated the explosive and was killed in the blast. (ROM)

Protean
This race of unusual beings was native to the planet Nathas I, in the Questal Sector. In their natural state, Proteans resemble man-sized blobs of protoplasmic clay. They live in small groups of five to ten individuals. They consume their food by surrounding it with their bodies and absorbing it through their skin. Individual Proteans have the ability to mold themselves into differnet shapes and can alter their coloration, and use their ability to change shape to capture their prey. The average intelligence of a Protean was quite low, although they have the ability to learn simple concepts and commands. Their homeworld was airless, forcing the Proteans to develop methods of absorbing oxygen through their skin. They can also survive in hard vacuum for short periods of time, and have just four senses: sight, touch, hearing, and chemical. They reproduce when two individuals combine their structures into a single, stone-like ball, and remain in this configuration for a standard year. When the ball cracks open, the original pair emerges with a new child. (SWJ12, AE)

Protectors
This was the name of the group of Saurton warriors who supported the rulership of the High Priests. Each Protector acted as a judge and policeman as well. (PG1)

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

Protectors, The
This was a term used by certain members of the Jedi Order to describe their membership, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was a term that sprang from the basic Jedi beliefs that all life must be protected and nurtured. As the Old Republic became more stagnant and the Jedi Order more insular, the Protectors was a term used with something more along the lines of conceit and pride, further evidence of how far the Jedi had fallen from their ancient ideals. (YDR)

Protein Pellets
This was a highly-nutritional but completely tasteless form of protein supplement that was used in many survival kits during the final decades of the Old Republic. (SOJ, LJ10)

Proteinloaf
This was a processed form of meat substitute, which was combined with spices and other vegetables to create a tasty loaf. This loaf could be sliced into thick slabs and served as a main dish, or it could be sliced thinly and served on sandwiches. (OWS)

Prothium
This gas, used in the manufacture of blasters, was mined on Bespin as well as in the Killaniri System. All of the prothium from that system was shipped from the Mutandan moon, Justa. In addition to supplying power to blasters, prothium was also a key component in an ancient form of art produced by Gorgo the Hutt. Gorgo captured supercooled condensates of prothium gas in a densecris-impervium alloy glaze that was similar to a crystalline matrix, then exposed them to various vistas he found on the planet Nal Hutta. The prothium gas became a superfluid that was so cold and optically dense it took years for light to pass through it. By leaving the matrices exposed to certain vistas over a period of decades, Gorgo created works of art known as decelerated luminescent images that slowly changed over time, as if the viewer were looking out a window and watching the seasons change. This slow change occurred at a regular pace if the prothium gas was maintained at a temperature near absolute zero. Eventually, however, all the images that were in the exposure would be displayed, and the artwork would begin displaying other images stored during the decades of its existence. If hung for display for a long enough period of time, these pieces of art would simply display the wall that was behind them. (PG1, GG2, CN1)

Protial, Fulkrehm
This man was one of the Alliance's most promising pilots, until he was shot down over Kostra. He was rescued by the natives, but their medical knowledge was insufficient to completely heal him. His legs were severely damaged,and he was unable to fly again. However, he served as an information gatherer, posing as a drunkard with little redeeming value to ge close to beings with information. The disguise was easy for Protial to put on, because he found that alcohol was his only solace after losing the ability to fly. He convinced Captain Rondell that he was still useful, despite his near-constant state of inebriation. Protial then spent his time in the bars of Berrol's Donn, posing as "that drunk in the corner" at Sangorn's Net and using the codename Trosilon. (CRO)

Protie
This slang term originated in the Elrood Sector, and was a short way to describe a protocol droid. (PG3)

Proto

This ancient droid was once a security droid. Over the years, Proto One was forced to repair himself with spare parts, and he was shuffled from owner to owner until he ended up on Boonta. During the early years of the New Order, Proto One worked as a guard and mechanic at a scrapyard. There, he encountered R2-D2 and C-3PO, who were on the planet because their masters - Jord Dusat and Thall Joben - were racing in the Boonta Speeder Race. Although C-3PO did not trust Proto One, R2-D2 was confident in his abilities. When Boba Fett's droid BL-17 tried to destroy the White Witch, it was Proto One who opposed the droid and held it off long enough for R2-D2 to arrive and help drive it off. C-3PO later apologized to Proto One for his rude behavior. (DCAR)

Protobactin
This drug was used to combat radiation sickness, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (LFCW)

Protocapilary Transmitter
This was a form of communications array which was developed in the Outer Rim Territory during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. It was especially susceptible to atmospheric obstructions like clouds, which tended to reflect the signals it produced. (TAE)

Protocol Droid
This was the generic term used to decribe any robot programmed in diplomacy, interpretation, and other skills necessary for interplanetary interactions. These droids were often humanoid in shape, so that they would fit in better among the races that were using the droid to interact with each other. (E4, E5, RFDV)

Protocol Module
This piece of technology was created to give protocol droids the ability to interact with a variety of races and species. Depending on the size of the module, a protocol droid could interact with two or more different races, and mediate discussions between them as necessary. Most protocol droids had a primary and a secondary protocol module, with the primary containing the languages and races the droid was most interactive with, and the secondary protocol module being used for other common languages and races. (DOG)

Protocol of Gifts
This was the phrase used top describe the custom of the Twi'lek society in which a visitor always brought a gift for their host, as a sign of friendship and in exchange for their hospitality. The custom originated early in Twi'lek history, when different clans first met. Over the centuries, the Protocol of Gifts had been extended from personal meetings to business gatherings and the arrival of a starship to a port such as Kala'uun. Those spacers who failed to provide a gift to Koh'shak or his family were rebuffed. (PSPG)

Protocol of Hon Akua
This was the Yuuzhan Vong Shaper's law, governing the creation of grutchins. (EVR)

Protocol of Qah
This law of the Yuuzhan Vong Shapers involved the methods required to alter the memories of another Yuuzhan Vong, or even a lesser creature. The Shapers used a Qah cell to enter the subject's brain and implant a new memory, wiping out an old one in the process. Using this protocol, the Yuuzhan Vong could alter the "mission profile" of their starships, grutchins and other creatures. After the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, it was discovered that the Protocol of Qah was ineffective on the brain of a human. The human brain tended to reroute neural pathways on its own, making the Protocol of Qah moderately ineffective. Like all the Shaper protocols, it was contained in the Qang qhasa. (EVC, EVR, FP)

Protocol of Tsong
This was one of the laws which governed the work of a Yuuzhan Vong Shaper. It described the ways in which a provoker spineray could be used to agitate the nervous system of another being. Like all the Shaper protocols, it was contained in the Qang qhasa. (EVC, EVR)

Protocol of Vul Ag
This was one of the many laws which governed the work of a Yuuzhan Vong Shaper. It described the ways in which an engineered organism could be made to transpire more efficiently, but was reserved for use on more advanced organisms. Like all the Shaper protocols, it was contained in the Qang qhasa. (EVC, EVR)

Protocol Team
This was the name used by Ploovo Two-for-One to describe the group of thugs and killers he required to perform acts of violence in order to maintain his wishes. (AIR)

Protocols
This was the name given to the laws and regulations that governed the actions of the Yuuzhan Vong Shapers. The Protocols were rooted in a purely egocentric view of the universe, and were based on the Yuuzhan Vong's own physiology and the biology of their homeworld. Any belief that other forms of life could exist, let alone be superior in some way, was considered a heresy that was punishable by immediate death. Among these laws were the Protocols of Tsong and Vul Ag. (EVC)

Protocols, The
This set of laws which govern the challenges and duels which dominated Adumari society, the Protocols stipulate - among other things - that any duel must benefit both combatants. A young pilot who challenges an older, more experience pilot, will be refused under the Protocols, since the older pilot had nothing more to gain from the duel. Another Protocol used in fighter craft duels involved the setting of match numbers, which specified the size of the opposing teams. Once a challenge was made, the recipient could accept or decline, If they accepted, they had the right to set the match number. (SOA)

Protodeka
This massive, crab-like war droid was developed for Count Dooku on the planet Raxus Prime, during the early months of the Clone Wars. Luckily for the Republic, the protodeka was destroyed by Obi-Wan Kenobi before it could be mass-produced. (NECH)

Proton 12
This was the designation of a Rendili StarDrive sublight engine. It was small, and was often used in a group to back-up a larger engine system, such as the Proton 2. (X1)

Proton 2
This was the designation of a massive Rendili StarDrive sublight engine. (X1)

Proton Blaster
This out-dated weapon fired bolts of cohesive protonic material that explodes on contact. Seinar produced them at one time. (POT)

Proton Bomb
This explosive weapon was similar to a protoon torpedo, but lacked any form of guidance system. Proton bombs were simply dropped onto a target. (LSSM)

Proton Cannon
This form of anti-aircraft weapon was developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. (CWTV20)

Proton Carbine
This heavy rifle was developed to fire cohesive bolts of protons. (SWGAL)

Proton Chair
This specially-built, proton-powered chair was developed for use by the Wookiee known as Attichitcuk. (SWGAL)

Proton Charge
see Proton Grenade (MCI7)

Proton Detonator
This was a specialized form of detonation device, which used proton energy instead of electrical current to set off the explosive material contained in a bomb or missile. (LF3)

Proton Fuel
A highly-volatile type of fuel. (DOD)

Proton Grenade
A small concussion bomb which was thrown at a target and scatters energy when detonated. (SWSB, CSW)

Proton Interweave
This was an experimental form of starship shielding system that was developed during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Proton Mine
This form of explosive device was believed to have been first developed by the military forces of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Created from proton torpedo warheads, proton mines were created by adding a proximity fuse to the device, which allowed the mine to be detonated when in the proximity of a larger target. After a proton mine was used by Luke Skywalker to destroy an Imperial AT-AT walker during the Battle of Hoth, several arms manufacturers began producing proton mines that were considered much safer than the hand-made versions created by the Alliance. (SWMW)

Proton Overload
This band sometimes played at Bantha Traxx, on the planet Lianna. (WSV)

Proton Railer
This was a term used to describe any athlete who made a living by piloting a small, proton-propelled sled through the tubes of a predefined race course. (CN1)

Proton Rifle
This heavy rifle was the larger cousin of the proton carbine, and was developed to fire cohesive bolts of protons, or specialized proton bullets. The use of proton rifles was usually restricted to military personnel, who were trained to be able to handle the proton payloads and the intense recoil of the weapon. (SWGAL)

Proton Screen
This was the codename of an mid-grade starship shield designed that was proposed by Sienar Fleet Systems, during the early years of the New Order. Although the initial prototypes were promising, the project was abandoned when several prototypes were stolen and later discovered on the Invisible Market. (SWG2P)

Proton Tank
These large seige machines resembled large assault craft, and were armed with proton grenade launchers. They were also troop transports, and could safely deposit soldiers into a war zone. They were used during the last decades of the Old Republic, and were armed with ion cannons. (MOC)

Proton Torpedo
These explosive weapons were made from a proton-scattering pod that consisted of a fuel cell and a nucleonic igniter. When the torpedo struck its target, the igniter smashed the atoms in the fuel cell, creating an enormous energy surge that destroyed the target. While being very powerful, the proton torpedo could only travel at slow, sublight speeds. (E4, SWSB)

Proton-shock
This term was often used by smugglers to indicate an individual who was staring dazedly into space, describing the individual as "proton-shocked." (3D3)

Protorian Polygon
This unusual building was located on the planet Coruscant, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Its five towers were linked together by a central, bubble-shaped structure that was made from transparent glassine. This bubble contained three gourmet restaurants and a pedwalk that connected the various buildings on the campus. (CN2)

Protosteel
This material was used to build the hulls of large starships. (HSE)

Prototype K-33
This powerful starship weapons capacitor prototype was jointly developed by Incom Industries and Deepwell Capacitors, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Prototype Ten
This was the original designation of the combat training droid that was known as PROXY. (TFUG)

Prototype X
This was the codename of a high-powered, starship disruptor weapon that was being developed by Rendili StarDrive during the height of the New Order. The project was ultimately scrapped, after several prototypes were discovered for sale on the Invisible Market. (SWG2P)

Prototyper
This device was developed during the final years of the Old Republic, as part of duplication system. The prototyper could read the outward appearance of an object in three dimensions, then pass digitized information on the object to the duplicator. The duplicator could then mass-produce copies of the original. Although developed for scientific applications, the prototyper and the duplicator eventually made their way onto the black market, where they were sold as counterfeiting devices. (HSL)

Protrean
This alien race resembles a crude clay statue of a humanoid lifeform. They were round beings, with no visible fingers or toes, and their bodies seem to flow and change. Protreans can alter their body color and texture to match their surroundings, which allows them to belnd into almost any environment. These creatures then lie in wait for their prey to wander too close. Protreans capture their prey by striking quicjkly, draping themselves around the victim's head to prevent any outcry and suffocating them at the same time. (GCQ)

Prouk
This Korunnai was a member of Kar Vastor's Akk Guards, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. He was a known gambler, but her always made sure to pay his debts. When Jedi Master Mace Windu tried to attack and capture the city of Pelek Baw, on the planet Haruun Kal, Prouk was one of many who sided with Vastor in keeping Depa Billaba free to make her own choices in terms of her loyalty. Prouk was one of several Akk Guards sent to apprehend the Jedi when he tried to infiltrate the droid control center in Pelek Baw. After dispatching several clone troopers of the Army of the Republic, Prouk leaped to attack Nick Rostu. Rostu managed to grab a fallen trooper's DC-15 blaster and shoot Prouk in the chest. Prouk died quickly of his injuries. (SHPT)

Providence-class Destroyer
This 1,088-meter-long vessel was developed by the Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps during the last decades of the Old Republic, and found priminent use among the naval fleets of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. These ships were propelled through space by four Creveld-4 radial ion drive units, and had a Class 1.5 hyperdrive system that could move the ship across some 40,000 light-years. Like many other Separatist vessels, the Providence-class destroyer was designed to be operated by a droid crew of some 600 droid officers. In its holds, the Providence-class destryoer could carry up to 1.5 million deactivated battle droids, as well as 120 Tri-fighters, 120 vulture droids, 160 MTT transports, and nearly 300 other armored vehicles. In order to defend itself in combat, the Providence-class destroyer was armed with fourteen turret-mounted quad turbolasers, thirty-four dual laser cannons, a pair of ion cannons, twelve point-defense ion cannons, and 102 proton torpedo tubes. These vessels also had the ability to transport up to 50,000 metric tons of cargo. (X3, WOTC)

Provider Model P1
This was considered the most powerful starship weapons capacitor systems developed by MandalMotors, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Provider of the Sun, The

Provisional Committee
This was the term used to describe the group of politicians and leaders who were selected by the Old Republic to travel to planets which needed assistance in restoring order to their governments. Most often, Provisional Committees were sent in after civil wars or other disputes, to help the various factions work together to rebuild their government. (JQ6)

Provisional Council
After the leaders of the New Republic re-established their governmental seat on Coruscant, some four years after the Battle of Endor, the Provisional Council was established to restore the principles and laws of the Old Republic. It also provided leadership and direction for the New Republic. It was considered a more formal political arena than the Inner Council, which was generally thought of as guiding the Provisional Council. As its name implied, the Provisional Council was set up to assist in repairing the damage caused by Emperor Palpatine's New Order, but was by no means permanent. It was dissolved a short time before the Yevethan Purge, and replaced with a full government designed by the various Senatorial leaders. Note that The New Essential Chronology indicates that the Provisional Council was established just after the publication of the Declaration of a New Republic. It also indicates that the Provisional Council was dissolved in the wake of the destruction of Emperor Palpatine's clones on Byss, when it was believed that the public felt the Provisional Council was too weak to maintain control of the galaxy. (HTTE, SOL, NECH)

Provisional Government
This was another name for the Provisional Council that was established, during the early years of the New Republic. (SWJ15, OWS)

Provocateur
This Imperial frigate was commanded by Captain Joshi, and was part of Zsinj's fleet shortly after the Battle of Endor. It was assigned to provide support for the Night Caller during a raid on Talasea, but was destroyed in the battle. (WS)

Provoker Spineray
This Yuuzhan Vong creature was bio-engineered for use in stimulating the nervous system of another alien creature. These creatures were developed specially for the species on which they would be used, and could be manipulated to cause pain to selective nerve arrays. With the use of a provoker spineray, a Yuuzhan Vong Shaper could map out a being's nervous system and what each set of nerves was designed to do. The use of a provoker spineray was controlled by the Protocol of Tsong, and required that the Shaper use an ol-villip to monitor its actions. (EVC)

Provotin Cystate
This medical drug was developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, and found widespread use during the Clone Wars. (MBS)

Prowler
This small vehicle was originally developed to help small police forces patrol dangerous areas, during the final years of the Old Republic. When the Galactic Empire was formed, in the wake of the Clone Wars, prowler vehicles were put to use by Imperial forces to help keep indigenous populations under control. (LJ8)

Prowler 1
This ship was part of a group of escort carriers that were part of the Alliance's naval forces, during the Galactic Civil War. The Prowler group was destroyed by Imperial forces, during the months leading up to the Battle of Hoth. (TIE, TIEP)

Prowler 1000
This repulsor-equipped droid was developed by Arakyd Industries for use by the Confederacy of Independent Systems in the exploration and reconnaissance of unknown locations. It was designed shortly after the Battle of Naboo, and was originally developed to serve as an exploration droid. Similar in shape to a tortapo shell, the Prowler 1000 moved about with a bobbing motion, a fact that many droid experts felt was Arakyd's attempt to enter less military markets. These droids were also marketed to police forensics teams. Known as seeker droids, each of these droids had three photoreceptors, each of which could record information in various wavelengths. Four thin arms were used for a variety of tasks. A large-aperture photoreceptor dominated the "face" of the Prowler, and was surrounded by a sensor and detection array. Despite the fact that the Prowler 1000 was originally manufactured under the aegis of the Techno Unit, the Prowler 1000 was eventually deployed as part of the Grand Army of the Republic, after Chancellor Palpatine made a deal with Arakyd CEO Hordis Boil. The Prowler 1000 was shipped through a dummy corporation, and became standard issue for the clone troopers of the GAR. In the wake of the Clone Wars, the Prowler 1000 became the design basis for the Mark VII Inquisitor and the Viper probe droid. (OWS, SWI81, VD3, NEGD)

Prowler 2
This ship was part of a group of escort carriers that were part of the Alliance's naval forces, during the Galactic Civil War. The Prowler group was destroyed by Imperial forces, during the months leading up to the Battle of Hoth. (TIE, TIEP)

Prowler Droid
This was a generic term used to describe probe droids that were similar in mission profiles to the Prwoler 1000. (LJ5)

Prowler-class Reconnaissance Vessel
One of the new class of starships developed by Republic Engineering Corporation, the Prowler was designed to act as a long-term spy craft. The basic design was that of the REC Ferret, but with less equipment and stealth systems, and its mission profile dictated it be in place for long periods of time, gathering information about an enemy's location and assets. The Prowler does its work from a distance, rather than getting in close, but still retained the baffled drive and chemical-thrust systems of the Ferret. Each prowler-class ship required a complement of 6 crewmen to fly, unlike the droid-commanded Ferret, and was armed with more missiles and a decoy package. (CTD)

Proxima Dibal
This star was orbited by a single planet, which was simply known as Proxima Dibal I. (HSE)

Proxima Dibal I
This planet, the only world orbiting the star Proxima Dibal, was home to the song serpents and the dinko. (HSE, EGA)

Proximity Mine
This was the generic term used to describe any explosive device that employed a simple motion detector or other system as a detonation trigger. When a being or object moved close enough to the mine, the sensor registered its presence and set off the explosive. These weapons came into use during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (OWS)

PROXY
This combat droid, originally designated as Prototype Ten, was developed in secret by the Darth Vader, during the early years of the New Order. Few within the Empire knew of the droid's existence, because it had been created to serve as a companion to Darth Vader's secret apprentice, who was known only as the Starkiller. PROXY had several unique subsystems, including a holographic projection system that allowed the droid to mask its true appearance. It could also fight with a lightsaber, and was well-trained in the various forms of lightsaber combat. This combination of programming and systems allowed PROXY to appear to be any human or humanoid Jedi Knight, mimicking not only their appearance and clothing but also their fighting style. It also allowed PROXY to serve as Vader's communications link to the Starkiller. Vader could assume control of the droid from a remote location, creating a holographic representation of himself that could speak to the Starkiller and provide him with information on his missions. PROXY hated these moments, since the droid was not in control of its own actions.

PROXY could also learn from its sparring matches with the Starkiller, and could all up older fighting styles whenever the young man seemed to be getting too good against any one opponent. In this way, PROXY trained the Starkiller in lightsaber combat, and helped him prepare for the missions that Vader sent him on. For PROXY, this training was analogous to ensuring that the Starkiller eventually achieved the goals of his primary programming, although such achievement might render PROXY's role worthless in the future. After the Starkiller was apparently destroyed by Vader, PROXY was transferred to the Empirical, where the droid was given new programming and protocols that would allow the droid to help the Starkiller vanish. Vader had recovered the young man's body and revived it, in order to continue his own plans to assume control of the galaxy. Among the new programs downloaded into PROXY's computer banks was the directive to kill the Starkiller, but not before doing everything possible to help the man survive. When the Starkiller escaped, PROXY began firing the escape pods from the Empirical, hoping to prevent anyone from getting off the ship to tell of his existence. As the Empirical plunged into the Dominus System's star, PROXY and the Starkiller hurried to reach the Rogue Shadow as escape. The droid did its best to prevent him from rescuing Juno Eclipse, but the Starkiller ordered the droid to get the Rogue Shadow ready for takeoff while he freed Eclipse from her cell.

The group fled the Dominus System and headed to Bespin, where the Starkiller hoped to gain the assistance of Rahm Kota. The Starkiller had been ordered by Darth Vader to round up the resistance leaders who were planning to rebel against the Empire, and bring them together in a concerted attack against Emperor Palpatine. With the Emperor distracted, Vader hoped to destroy him and assume control of the galaxy himself. PROXY continued to strive to fulfill its primary programming, assuming the guises of various opponents during his training sessions with the Starkiller. PROXY went so far as to use its tiny repulsorlifts to create the illusion of a Force push, something that the Starkiller did not anticipate when the droid first used the technique.

When the group traveled back to Raxus Prime on a mission to destroy the Imperial shipyards in orbit around the planet, PROXY was ordered to tap into the Core and see if it could undermine the Imperial presence on the planet. Although the Core had been reprogrammed by the Imperials, it remained a full-independent system, and it reached out through PROXY's link to take control of the droid. The Core ordered PROXY to escape from the Rogue Shadow and return to its processing center. The droid attacked Juno Eclipse and rendered her unconscious so that she wouldn’t sound an alarm, then overrode the launch codes for the Rogue Shadow and disappeared into the planetary junkyard. When the Starkiller returned to the ship, he learned of PROXY's abrupt actions and set out to recover the droid. He found the droid hardwired into the Core's processor network, and was unable to sever the connection without destroying PROXY's brain. He refused to do this, since PROXY had been his constant companion since childhood. Calling upon the Force, the Starkiller attacked the Core, but the Core used PROXY's own programming to create a simulation of Darth Maul to send against the apprentice.

The Starkiller found that the only way to defeat PROXY and disconnect the droid from the Core was to plunge his lightsaber straight through the droid's body, at the point where the hardwire connected it to the Core. The severing of this link freed PROXY, but it also burned out much of the droid's central processor. It lamented that it would not be of any further use to the Starkiller, but the young man refused to hear any such talk. He called upon the Force to send Sith lightning deep into the Core's computer network, utterly destroying it and rendering it useless to the Empire. He then carried PROXY back to the Rogue Shadow, and worked to repair the droid to operational status. PROXY later apologized to Juno Eclipse for his attack, and was surprised when the woman explained that no apologies were necessary.

When they traveled to Corellia to meet with rebel leaders, only to learn that Darth Vader had tracked them to the planet, PROXY tried to save the Starkiller by adopting the guise of Obi-Wan Kenobi and attacking the Dark Lord. Although Vader was momentarily distracted, he wasted no time in slicing the droid to pieces. Unknown to Vader, however, was the fact that PROXY was designed to survive lightsaber attacks. The droid's carcass was later recovered by Juno Eclipse and Bail Organa from the snowy regions of Corellia, and after learning of the Starkiller's demise, PROXY explained that it would now take orders from Juno herself. Senator Organa went on to explain that they were recording data on the formation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, and that PROXY's knowledge of the Starkiller's life would prove invaluable to their records. PROXY then related the story as it had experienced it. (LAWS, TFUN, TFUG)

Proy'skyn
This Bothan was an investigator with the Drev'starn Department of Criminal Discouragement. He accompanied Morv'vyal to the Exocticalia Pet Emporium, on a tip that the store had been burglarized. When a fire broke out in the shop, the Bothans realized that it was related to the wiring. This led them to discover the hidden cache of weapons kept by Navett and Klif, which forced the humans to kill the Bothan investigators in order to carry out their plans. (VOF)

PRP
This was an acronym used by the pilots of the Alliance military to describe a primary rendezvous point. (LSSM)

PRP-100
This model of personal-use rocket pack was produced by Presentian, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GFT)

PRP-500
This was the model number of Prax Arm's Protector dart pistol. (FOP)

PRP-502
This was the second-generation of the Protector dart pistol, developed by Prax Arms' during the height of the New Order. It was roughly the size of a hold-out blaster, and just as easily concealed. It could also be broken down into four parts, for easier storage. (EGW, AEG)

Prrt, Miaria
This Felacatian princess was stranded on Tatooine after her transport ship was ambushed in deep space. Princess Miaria herself was kidnapped, but the stress of traveling through hyperspace forced her to alter her physical shape. Her captured panicked, and stranded her on Tatooine shortly after the Battle of Naboo. She managed to convince Vilmarh Grahrk to bring her back to Felacat, but a trio of pit droids Villie had acquired from Watto altered his ship's navigational programming. Instead of dropping in and out of hyperspace to keep Princess Miaria from changing form, the droids kept the ship in hyperspace, thereby maximizing its speed. Miaria changed into her predatory form, and Villie was forced to keep her in an escape pod until they landed on Felacat. Princess Miaria was delivered safely, but Villie left the pit droids behind as recompense for his troubles. (T8)

Pru
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)

Prudence
This was one of many sleek-hulled destroyers produced at the Contruum shipyards, during the early years of the New Republic. (UF)

Prudii
This Mando'a word translated into "shadow" in Basic. (OWS)

Prudii
This man was one of the so-called Null-class ARC Trooper clones produced by the Kaminoans for the Grand Army of the Republic. Designated N-5, Prudii was one of only six Null clones to survive the gestation process. Named for the Mandalorian word for "shadow," Prudii was trained by Kal Skirata, and was skilled in sabotage and assassination, while his technical expertise spanned a variety of subjects. His knowledge of materials-processing technology led him to be part of the small team that was dispatched to sabotage Separatist droid production facilities, such as the one that was located on Olanet. Instead of simply destroying these facilities, Prudii introduced subtle errors into the manufacturing process. This gave the Separatists a false sense of security, while the factories produced droids that were easier to destroy on the battlefield. Some had inferior wiring that would melt or burn out under heavy loads, while others had substandard plating that was easier to destroy. These kinds of tactics allowed the Grand Army of the Republic to dramatically increase the number of battle droids it eliminated on the battlefield, more than doubling the numbers in just a few months. However, these missions also exposed the falacies behind the droid-production numbers that were being bantered about on the holonets, since Prudii never found a facility that could produce more than a million battle droids in a single year. Shortly before the First Battle of Coruscant, Skirata invoked the gai bal manda and formally adopted Prudii and his fellow ARC Troopers as his sons. (SWI87, RCTC, RC66)

Prudiise
This Mando'a word translated into "shadows" in Basic. (OWS)

Prunchti Noodles
This form of long noodle was known for the way that it twisted into a mass of tangles when cooked. It was nearly impossible to separate individual strands without cutting them with a knife. (SQ)

Prune Face
This was an Imperial slang term used to describe a member of the Dressellian race. (CHRN)

Prush
This was a common name among Quarren females. It was generally assumed to mean "brisk", but literally meant "insensitive". (GCG)

Pruss
This Sedrian youth was one of the many who believed the Golden Sun had been killed after the Alliance destroyed the Imperial garrison on Sedri. After Limna Yith landed on the planet, Pruss stole a datacard she hid in a cave. The card contained the complete Barani List and a great deal of documentation on the Yen-2 mining outpost and its connections to the crimelord Sprax. (SSR)

PR-V74
This Imperial probe ship was one of many that were dispatched throughout the galaxy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War, to search out the locations of hidden Alliance bases. (TIEP)

Prybar 2800
This power prybar was manufactured by SoroSuub. (PSG)

Prydde
This independent spacer made a small, legal fortune carrying musical instruments to the University of Rudrig, during the early years of the New Republic. (GUN)

Prye Folas
This spaceport city, found on the planet Teyr, was one stop east of Turos Noth on the Rift Skyrail. It was located quite a distance from the Teyr Rift, along the path of the Rift Skyrail. Note that The Essential Guide to Planet and Moons indicates that this city was named Pyre Folas. (SOL, EGP)

Pryl, Tanda
This strong-willed woman served the Imperial Navy as the Captain of the Star Destroyer Thunderflare, patrolling Elrood Sector in search of pirates and rebels. She was constantly at odds with Captain Akal Zed, whom she considered a bullish brute. She was the daughter of wealthy parents, and many Imperial officers of the time believed that she gained her position because of money. In reality, she did not lack in ability, and earned her command through hard work and determination. She had investigated the events surrounding the Battle of Yavin and the emergence of Luke Skywalker, and theorized that there were a wealth of Force-sensitives hiding out in the Outer Rim Territories. Although unfounded, her theory led to seek out positions in the Outer Rim in order to capture those beings with Force sensitivity in order to twist them into Imperial servants. Her subordinates considered her a devious and cunning leader. (OE, PG3)

Pryn
This name was common among the Feeorin race. (UANT)

Pryodase
This synthetic drug was used as a mood enhancer, and was extremely effective for lowering the guard of an individual. For a time, it was used extensively at Coruscant dinner parties among the nobility, as a way to counteract the increase in duels. It was non-addictive. (POT)

Pryodene
This was a synthetic, mood-enhancing drug. (POT)

Prytis
This was the primary continent of the planet Bakura. Much of Prytis was covered with forests, and the capital of Salis D'aar was located on its southwestern coast. (TBSB, GORW)

PS-29-2
This was the identification number of the pilot of the Imperial TIE Fighter designated Shadow Two, during the Battle of Yavin. This man was known to his wingmates by the nickname "Mynock." (JKG)

PS-29-3
This was the identification number of the pilot of the Imperial TIE Fighter designated Shadow Three, during the Battle of Yavin. This man was known to have had one of the highest scores ever recorded on the Imperial TIE Fighter simulators. (JKG)

P-s4
This model of Sienar Fleet Systems twin ion engine system was used on the TIE Fighter and the TIE Bomber. It was rated at 150 KTU for the TIE Fighter, and 125 KTU for the TIE Bomber. (SCRE, XW, TSC)

P-s5.6
This was the designation of Seinar Fleet Systems' upgraded twin ion engine system, which was used on the TIE Interceptor during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It was rated at 175 KTU. (SCRE, XW, SWG2P, TSC)

PS-9
This was a model of burst-tracker used by the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ11)

Psadan
This was the name of guttural, throaty language of the Psadan race. Made up from grunts, groans, and deep vocalizations, Psadan lacked a written form, and much of the race's lore was passed down through oral histories. (UANT)

Psadan
A stocky, humanoid race native to the planet Wayland, the Psadans' skin was covered with lumpy plates that make them look like walking rocks. They despised the Empire for assuming control of their world, which was about the only thing they agreed with the Myneyrshi on. The Psadans, like the Myneyrshi, were a primitive people who looked upon all technology as a form of abomination. The Psadans especially considered high technology to be a thing of shame, since it did not derive from natural forms of life. Years after the Battle of Endor, the planet Wayland was invaded by the Yuuzhan Vong. The Psadan people split into two factions: those who willingly allied with the Yuuzhan Vong and their bio-organic technology, and the Free People who chose to fight against their virtual enslavement. (HTTE, TLC, GMR10)

PSAS-5128
This public subadult school was located in the Jrade District of Coruscant, during the last years of the Old Republic. (HNN5)

PSC
This was an abbreviation used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe a Plastic Soldier Carrier. (GG9)

PSEG
This was the term used by Imperial Intelligence agents to describe the coded identification and sequence numbers provided to field agents and branch offices by the Sector Plexus. These sequences allowed for the accurate and timely delivery of information, since an agent or office was given only a few active PSEGs at a time. PSEGs were regularly changed through computer algorithms, so offices and agents had to be constantly aware of the status of their PSEGs. The coded information in a PSEG was used to either send and receive data, and an incorrect or out-of-date PSEG would mean that information was not delivered to its final destination. The term PSEG was a shortened form of "product segment," indicating that the code was actually part of the product created by multiplying two large prime numbers together. Each of these prime numbers was between 200 and 5,000 digits in length, and each PSEG was a five- to twenty-five-digit segment of the resulting multiple. The agent sending or receiving a message was only aware of their own PSEGs, thereby ensuring the security of the Sector Plexus system. (ISB)

P-Series Destroyer Droid
This was the official designation of the Trade Federation's Destroyer Droid, which were known as droidekas. (TCG1, NEGD)

Pseudo-chudde
This food was detested by many young children. (CSA)

Pseudograin
This was a manufactured foodstuff that was similar in taste and texture to natural forms of flour. It could be cheaply produced, and could be used in recipes to make rolls and breads that were similar in flavor and texture to those made with natural grains. (OWS)

Pseudograv-field
This was the earliest known form of gravity well projector, created by the Vagaari from a variety of stolen and acquired technologies during the years following the Battle of Naboo. The Vagaari managed to overcome the necessity for huge power generators by mounting their pseudograv-field device in a collapsible superstructure that could be attached to a starship's hull during transport, then set in place once the Vagaari established an ambush position. One of the first generators developed by the Vagaari was stolen by then Force Commander Thrawn, who managed to bring the technology to the Empire many years later. (OF)

Pseudo-leather
This leather-like material was used to cover the interior furniture of many starships, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong.

This was the medical term used to describe the cybernetically-generated impulses that were created by prosthetic limbs, allowing a being to experience sensory input from a prosthesis. (CWWS)

Pseudo-skin
This material was developed for the entertainment industry as a form of fake skin. The use of pseudo-skin allowed costumers and special-effects artists to dramatically alter the appearance of actors. Pseudo-skin was simply painted onto the face of an actor, smoothing out wrinkles or covering up certain features. Properly applied pseudo-skin remained affixed to the skin beneath it. However, if applied to dirty skin or applied to heavily, it could slip out of position, sometimes falling off completely. (LF4)

Psi
This was one of the common designations used by the targetting computers installed on Imperial warships to identify a group of Imperial container vessels. Because these typs of ships were mass-manufactured and found throughout the galaxy, 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 containers in a given convoy to a specific group, each with a specific designation. The fourth group of container vessels discovered by the targetting computer was usually assigned to the Psi group, and the ships within that group were also given a numerical identifier, such as Psi 1.

P'tan
A Kalkal academic at Beshka University, and a contemporary of Melvosh Bloor, P'tan was a gruff old geezer who believed that every professor had to work his way up from the dregs in order to achieve tenure. When Ra Yasht and Skarten, two other young Kalkal academics like Bloor, were given instant tenure for an investigative report on Porcellus, P'tan flew into a rage. To make matters worse, Bloor planned to interview Jabba the Hutt himself. P'tan interrupted Bloor's petition for University funding, saying that Bloor was too young, and he would make mistakes in his data. P'tan used his seniority to go in Bloor's place. In his infinite wisdom, P'tan hired Salacious Crumb to be his guide to Jabba. However, P'tan never returned from his trip to Tatooine, since Jabba quickly tired of him and threw the Kalkal into the Pit of Carkoon, to be digested by the Sarlacc. (TJP)

PTB-625

Puerco
A grain grown on Cilpar. (XWRS)

puesso
This computer operator was one of the multitudes that spoke out about the Clone Wars on the Cularin HoloNet, during the last years of the Old Republic. It was puesso who took the transmission that was intercepted by mstrslcr and ran it through a sophisitcated text analyzer, to see if it was truly from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. His analysis indicated that the Jedi Order was not the source. In fact, he believed that it had come from the Metatheran Cartel. However, despite the analysis, many of the words used in the transmission were unusual for the Cartel to use. (LFCW)

Pugs
This was a race of bandits who lived on the Forest Moon of Endor. (ECAR)

Pugwis
This vicious Dug was the grandson of Sebulba. Although he was every bit as ruthless as Sebulba, Pugwis lacked his grandsire's skills in piloting a podracer. Nonetheless, Pugwis set out to make a name for himself on the modern podracing circuit. He found himself being black-listed from virtually every major racing circuit, having attacked many other podracers in the midst of races. Unable to participate in sanctioned events, Pugwis traveled to Tatooine and found acceptance in Jabba the Hutt's demolition derbies. He flew in the contests with his custom-built podracer. (SWD)

Puhr, Djas
This male Sakiyan was once employed by Sebulba as a slave herder. As Sebulba made his way around the podracing circuit, Djas Puhr was responsible for acquiring new slaves for the Dug's brisk slaving business. After Sebulba's defeat by Anakin Skywalker in the Boonta Eve Classic, Djas Puhr found himself unemployed, and decided to use his skills as a bounty hunter. He used Mos Eisley as a base during the Galactic Civil War. He had incredible peripheral and infrared vision, coupled with keen senses of smell and hearing. All of these attributes made him a feared hunter. (CCG, E1A5)

Pui-ui
This alien race was noted for the way in which it continually shed it skin. They Pui-ui were native to the planet Kyryll's World, and their bodies appeared to be two spheres joined by a short neck.

Pulley Bow
This Sakiyan bow used a set of pulleys to augment a user's natural strength. In the hands of a Sakiyan, the pulley bow was a powerful weapon. Most other races could barely pull a quarrel into the ready position. (MBS)

Pull-war
This game was one of many in which beings worked together in teams to defeat their opponent. Derived from a childrens' game, pull-war involved each team holding onto the end of a sturdy cable and pulling as hard as they could. The objective was to pull farther than your opponent, which was either indicated by a flag passing a ceratin point, or when the other team was pulled into a shallow pit of mud. (SWI69)

Puln
This near-human served the Black Sun vigo Green as a low-level thug, but in reality he was one of Sprax's best spies.

Puloorn
This planet was discovered to have an affinity with the Dark Side of the Force. (SWRPG)

Pulra
An alien race which was native to the volcanic world of Kuras III, the Pulras were amorphous beings which a highly flexible body structure. They have innate abilities of camouflage, able to change their skin coloration to exactly match their surroundings. This allowed a Pulra to hide from its prey, springing a trap at the last moment to capture it. Pulras have no sensory organs, and use a natural form of sonar to detect information about their surroundings. They were a social race, able to work together and cooperate in order to get things. Done. They reproduced by fission, but don't consciously decide to produce offspring. Instead, natural biochemical and environmental changes simply indicate when it was time to reproduce. They have an advanced brain, and can easily grasp the concepts of space travel and interstellar mechanics. (PG3, AE)

Pulsar
This clone trooper was a member of Tango Company, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Pulsar distinguished himself from his comrades by painting diagonal stripes on his helmet, gauntlets, and shin guards. (CWTV30)

Pulsar
This Corellian Engineering Corporation gunship was part of the New Republic naval fleet, during the latter stages of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Captained by Kartha, the Pulsar was badly damaged near Obroa-held when the Republic destroyed the Yuuzhan Vong fleet commanded by Komm Karsh, which had been guarding Obroa-skai. The Pulsar was unrecoverable, and was later scuttled for weapons and spare parts. (DW)

Pulsar Skate
A Baudo-class star yacht owned by Mirax Terrik, named for a deep-sea creature on Corellia which it resembled. The starship once belonged to her father, and was modified by Wedge Antilles who, at the age of fifteen, replaced its fusion chamber on the starboard engine. When Wedge took the new Rogue Squadron to the Chorax System, it found the Pulsar Skate being detained by the Imperial Interdictor-class ship Black Asp. The Rogues managed to scare off the Black Asp, and the Pulsar Skate assisted in the rescue of Corran Horn's X-Wing. Mirax's father used the shhip to smuggle spice, which attracted the attention on Hal Horn, who hunted down the elder Terrik and captured him. Horn sent Terrik to the correctional facility on Kessel. Mirax held no small amount of contempt for Corran Horn, despite Wedge's allegiance to Rogue Squadron, but she held her tongue. Mirax agreed to assist the New Republic during the Krytos crisis, ostensibly acting as the lead ship in the convoy that was to bring bacta from Thyferra to Coruscant, via the Alderaan System. The convoy was attacked by the Warlord Zsinj, after he was tipped off as to the convoy's flight plan, before Rogue Squadron could arrive to escort it to Coruscant. It was believed that Mirax, her pilot Liat Tsayv, and the Pulsar Skate were destroyed in the ambush, but they had left the convoy and gone to Borleias with a sample of the bacta. (XWN)

Pulsar Skate
This species of deep-sea creature was native to the oceans of Corellia. (KT)

Pulsar Station
This was the name used by the New Republic to describe the Death Star-like construction discovered in a secret lab on the planet Liinade III. The Republic believed that Prince-Admiral Krennel was preparing to built the station, based on all the evidence it found in Valleyport. However, the lab had actually been set up in secret by Ysanne Isard, who hoped to undermine the efforts of Krennel and Isard's clone to disrupt the New Republic. Unlike the first two Death Stars, Pulsar Station was built around an array of smaller super-lasers, each of which could take out a Super-class Star Destroyer with a single blast. This allowed it to be more accurate than the second Death Star, while better utilizing the destructive capabilities of the super-lasers. In reality, there were no actual plans to build Pulsar Station. However, the Republic believed that Krennel was planning to built it into the shell of a large planetoid. When Mon Mothma announced that the Republic had discovered the lab and tried to undermine Krennel's efforts, he was sincerely able to rebuff her statements because he didn't know anything about it. (IR)

Pulsar Supertanker
This conglomerate was, at one time, a member of the Trade Federation. However, after Nute Gunray testified that Pulsar had acted with "malicious disregard for profit," and had given "charitable donations lacking discernible reward," Pulsar was voted off the Federation's Directorate. It was generally believed that Gunray's orations during the proceedings were what attracted the interest of Darth Sidious in choosing the Trade Federation for his own machinations. (COD)

Pulse, Lowal
This immense man worked as one of the paid gladiators, representing the Nonsu corporation in the fights staged in the city of Ektra, on Metellos. Pulse was considered a ringer by most beings, since he was bankrolled by Nonsu itself. To distinguish himself, Pulse cut a notch in an earlobe for each of his victories. He was also something of a spy, working in the Moridebo District and providing information on the status of CarsinShare. (CCW)

Pulse Bomb
This form of explosive weapon was developed by the Gungans, and saw widespread use during the Clone Wars. (MBS)

Pulse Generator
This device was used on starships to send pulses of energy to specific systems, depending on the ever-changing power needs of those systems. These devices work with flux compensators to ensure that all systems are supplied with adequate power to maintain optimal operations. An unexpected utilization of a pulse generator was discovered when one of these devices was activated outside of a starship. When activated in this disconnected mode, the pulse generator knocked out any electrical devices within several dozen kilometers. (MF, RF3)

Pulse Kneader
This was a form of water-based massage system, used in the bathrooms of well-to-do beings. (TG)

Pulse Laser
This was a type of starship weapon that used regulated bursts of laser energy to attack a target. (SWJ9)

Pulse Oven
This was a cooking device that developed during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong War. As their name implied, pulse ovens used pulses of electromagnetic energy to cook food. These devices were often found aboard starships, where space was limited and the galley had to be as efficient as possible. (FJ1)

Pulse Rocket
This was a type of weapon used by the Nuffin race. (JTH)

Pulse Shield
This was a form of shielding system that was developed for use on battle droids and other military automata and electrical systems, during the years following the Swarm War. Droids and equipment that were pulse-shielded could avoid being deactivated when hit with an electromagnetic pulse, allowing them to continue operation. (LF9)

Pulse Siphon
This device used a cam to draw fluids into a tube to transport to another container. The cam can be powered magnetically or with a small battery. (GG2)

Pulse-Blast Rifle
Produced by Core World Arms during the golden age of the Old Republic, the pulse-wave rifle was considered by many weapons experts to be the grandfather of the modern blaster. It was an incredibly heavy weapon, but it could produce incredible amounts of damage. (AEG)

Pulsed Energy Projectile
see PEP Laser (RCTZ)

Pulsed Ion Cannon
This illegal form of ion cannon used modulated pulses of ion energy to disrupt a starship's electrical systems. These weapons were illegal because they could be attuned to the shields and other defensive systems of a starship, rendering these defenses unable to protect a starship from the ion energy. (DOG)

Pulse-gravity Interdiction Mine
Developed by the Hapan peoples during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, and provided to the Galactic Alliance shortly after the Battle of Ebaq, these mines resembled simple asteroids floating in the void of space. However, they generated an artificial gravity shadow into hyperspace. The gravity shadows of a cluster of these mines caused starship hyperdrives and navigational computers to suddenly revert back to realspace, where they were trapped behind the interdiction fields. Any starship which tried to escape the field often ran into the mines, which exploded with deadly force and severely damaged most ships. (UF)

Pulsejet
This thruster technology was employed by the Yevetha to move their Aramadia-class thrustships during taxiing in starports. (TT)

Pulsemass Generator
Developed by the Hapans from Imperial gravity-well projector technology, these devices can be deployed in hyperspace to create false images of realspace masses, effectively keeping other ships in realspace near the generators, or bringing them out of hyperspace near them. These small devices were launched from tubes on a starship, such as the Hapan Battle Dragon, and the results were similar to those of the huge gravity wave generators on Interdictor-class ships. (CPL, COTF, CTD)

Pulse-mass Generator
This Hapan weapon was similar in design and impact to the Hyperspace Pulsemass Generator produced by the Empire. When fired, the pulse-mass generator sprayed spheres of hyperenergy into an area of space. These spheres acted like localized gravity fields, blocking a ship's ability to travel through hyperspace near them. The problem with these weapons was the fact that the hyperenergy spheres dissipated their energy quickly, limiting the effective duration of any blockade. The Hapans overcame this problem by creating mass pulse mines, which created a larger explosion with more energy. (CTD, SSOG)

Pulse-sticker
Developed during the early stages of the Clone Wars, this specialized medical patch was used to denote a patient's condition. The pulse-sticker could monitor the heartrate of the patient it was attached to, and could be set to indicate a patient's disposition. These devices found widespread use in the triage centers of battlefield hospitals and RMSUs, where clone troopers and other organic combatants were assessed for damage. The pulse-sticker was set to provide easy indication of a trooper's condition, so that individuals with the most need could be routed into the operating room first. Usually, patients were rated on a scale of 1 through 6. A 6 meant that the patient might survive, but only with intensive individual treatment. A 5 meant that a patient was more likely to survive, with less-intenstive treatment. An X meant that the patient had mortal injuries or was highly unlikely to survive, no matter what the treatment. (MBS)

Pulse-wave Blaster
An ancient weapon, used before energy weapons were commonplace, pulse-wave blaster created a spatial distortion when fired. This caused severe damage to solid matter, as the wave altered atomic make-up. The wave dissipated as it moved away from the weapon. (E)

Pulse-wave Induction Spine
This ancient weapon resembled a modern bow, but produced a wave of energy when pulled and released. The ancient Krath used these weapons on their war droids, during the attack on the Jedi convocation on Deneba. (EGD)

Pulse-wave Rifle
An ancient weapon, used before energy weapons were commonplace, pulse-wave rifle created a spatial distortion when fired. This caused severe damage to solid matter, as the wave altered atomic make-up. The wave dissipated as it moved away from the weapon. (TOJC)

Pulsipher
This Mandalorian warrior served as Demagol's chief bodyguard at Flashpoint Station, during the final stages of the Mandalorian Wars. Pulsipher was more of a scientist than a soldier, and followed in the footsteps of the Demagol. Being a more practical man, Pulsipher refused to believe in the abilities of the Jedi Knights to use the Force, preferring to rely on his own skills and weapons to enact change in the galaxy. He was later dispatched to assist with the subjugation of Taris, and led the search party that discovered the hidden location of the Muur Talisman. When he tried to return to Jebble with the artifact, Pulsipher was angered when guards claimed that he was not a real warrior, and would have to wait until Cassus Fett arrived before he could land. While waiting in orbit, Pulsipher withdrew the Muur Talisman from its storage case and began railing against the other Mandalorians, claiming that he would be able to use stolen Jedi records to unlock its secrets and become a true Mandalorian warrior. The Talisman then acted on its own, wrapping itself around Pulsipher's wrist and turning him into a living conduit for its power. However, when Pulsipher captured Zayne Carrick in the hopes of discovering the true power of the artifact, the Muur Talisman detached itself from his wrist and tried to attach itself to Carrick. (KOR2, KORV)

This blunt weapon was used by the Red Knights of Life. Made of tubal iron, the pummelstave was a crude but effective weapon. (VP)

Punch
This clone trooper was part of the force dispatched to the planet Christophsis, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Serving under Sergeant Slick, Punch and his fellow clones were part of the task force dispatched by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to locate a suitable ambush site for attacking the Separatist droids who were invading the planet. However, the chosen site was compromised, and the clones were trapped by swarms of droids. The Jedi managed to reach the ambush site after fighting through other droids, and helped even the battle field. In the wake of the failed ambush, Punch and his squad mates were questioned by Captain Rex and Commander Cody about a possible spy in their team. Punch and Sketch were both in the mess hall when the spy was supposedly active. (CWTV16)

Pundar, Dool
A former Captain in the military forces of the Trade Federation, Dool Pundar was known as a master tactician and superior officer. His military skills were matched by his bravery, which set him apart from most of his Neimoidian peers. Howver, much to the chagrin of the Federation, Pundar staged a mutiny during the blockade of the planet Naboo. He believed that the military attack on Naboo would be the perfect cover for his own bid for power. During the build-up of ships in the Naboo System, Pundar and his supporters used falsified distress signals to mask their escape, and took their ship into a nebula that was situated in a remote part of the galaxy. During the mutiny, Pundar's forces rounded up any Federation loyalists who remained on their ship and pushed them out of the airlocks, ensuring that no word of their actions reached the rest of the fleet.

He wait until the Battle of Naboo was over, then Pundar began silently raiding Federation outposts, stealing more ships and supplies to build his own military fleet. He renamed his warship the Profit, and staged all manner of hit-and-run and all-out attacks on Federation locations. The leaders of the Trade Federation put out a bounty on his head, hoping to recover their ships and eliminate the threat he posed to their security. Pundar used his own military acumen to avoid being captured, and even the forces of the Old Republic had no luck in taking him into custody. (WOTC)

Punisher
This was one of the multitude of Imperial-class Star Destroyers which made up the Imperial Navy fleet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. For many years, the Punisher was under the command of Captain Hugo Treece, before he was assigned to the Imperial garrison on Cloud City. (TIE, PH)

Punishing One
This ship was owned by the bounty hunter Dengar. A modified Corellian Engineering JumpMaster-5000 transport, the Punishing One was propelled by an outdated Class 3 hyperdrive, but its sublight engines were top-of-the-line. Dengar preferred the crescent-shaped ship to many newer designs, simply because it was easy to maintain. It was originally armed with a single quad-blaster and a mini ion cannon, and Dengar add a proton torpedo launcher later on. It had minimal crew space, with just enough for Dengar and a captive. During the months following the Battle of Yavin, the Punishing One was badly damaged on Togoria, when Dengar was working with Udin and Eron Stonefield in an effort to capture Han Solo. (CCG4, GMR7, MIS8)

Punky Muffin
This was a common nickname for a pedunkee muffin. (OWS)

Punt
This Gupin lived on the Forest Moon of Endor, during the years prior to the construction of the second Death Star. The cousin of Rin-Rin and Oobel, Punt was considered a selfish and greedy individual. He took control of the Gupin's fortress, hoping to earn power and wealth. However, the Grasstrekkers attacked the fortress, and Punt took the cowardly way out: he gave the Grasstrekkers the key to the Guniepal Chest to prevent his own death. (ECAR)

Punworcca 116-class Sloop
This was a 15.2-meter-long starship produced by the Huppla Pasa Tisc Shipwrights Collective on the planet Geonosis, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Similar in shape to the Nantex-class fighter, the Punworcca 116-class sloop had twin hulls sitting above and below the main fuselage. However, the Punworcca 116 provided standing room for ten beings in its hold, along with cockpit space for a droid pilot. The cockpit was a clear sphere located at the front of the fuselage, but could be replaced with a weapon emplacement if cockpit functions were rerouted to the hold. While not fully armed, the sloop was equipped with 84 narros tractor/repulsor beams mounted along the twin prows, which could be used to deflect a projectile attack. Like the Nantex-class fighter, the Punworcca 116-class sloop was designed for atmospheric and in-system use. It could attain speeds near 1,600 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. (X2, NEGV)

Pure Sabacc
This ramshackel Y164 merchant ship was stationed at Durren when Seti Ashgad and Dzym unleashed the Death Seed plague on the Meridian Sector. Owned and operated by Captain Bortrek, it was the Pure Sabacc which intercepted C-3PO and R2-D2 after the droids escaped from the Borealis. (POT)

Pure Sabacc
This Marauder-class corvette was modified for use as a transport vessel by its Captain, Vortia Kwis, during the early years of the New Republic. When the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy began, Kwis and his crew agreed to help ferry refugees from Dubrillion to Dantooine, shortly after Dubrillion was attacked. Upon arriving at Dantooine, the Pure Sabacc's crew as forced to fight its way to freedom after arriving in the middle of a Yuuzhan Vong sneak attack. This forced Captain Kwis to reconsider his position of support for the New Republic, which seemed to be losing the war despite all efforts. Kwis and his crew agreed to join the Peace Brigade, supplying the Pure Sabacc as a floating recruiting center. (NJOSB)

Pure Sabacc
This term was used in the game of sabacc, and refers to a hand which had a value of exactly 23, either positive or negative. Some gambling establishments maintained a rule that a positive 23 won out over a negative 23, in order to make the game safer for the house. (CCC, RD, HT)

Purella
This arachnoid predator was found on the moon Yavin 8. It was distinguished by its scarlet-colored bristles and glowing orange eyes. Like most arachnids, the purella had eight legs and four barbed pincers near its mouth. Their pincers exuded a neurotoxic that immobilized the muscles and nerves of its prey, allowing the purella to drag it back to its nest. The purella was carnivorous, and preferred the meat of young Melodies to that of reels or raiths. They spun thick, black webs in their cavernous homes near the Melodie ceremonial pools. (LW, P)

Purenta
This was the Snivvian word for "twin." (HNN5)

Purgato, Klaggus
This man was one of the Holowan Mechanicals scientists who worked on the IG-88 project. Several rumors persisted that Purgato survived the assault on the Holowan lab, when the IG-88s were first activated, but none of these rumors was ever substantiated. (FTD)

Purge
This Imperial Prison Barge was transporting captives from various facilities to a common penitentiary on Detention Moon Gradient Seven when it experienced engine trouble in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy, about a year before the Battle of Yavin. The drive systems were damaged, but the sublight drives were capable of moving the ship across short distances. This proved to be beneficial the crew of the Purge, after they discovered that there was a derelict Star Destroyer near their location. They were able to use minimal power to make their way to the larger ship, and an engineering party was dispatched to acquire replacement components for their drives. However, the engineering party returned with a strange illness that spread rapidly through the decks of the Purge, infecting most of the 522 prisoners and crew with a hacking cough, violent seizures, and intense vomiting. Death followed swiftly, and many of the infected crew died within hours of contracting the illness. The effects of the contagion were somewhat similar in most humanoid races, although there were some species-specific differences. In Wookiees, their tongues swelled and pushed out of their mouths, while their throats swelled and burst open. Although the contagion was ultimately fatal, a few beings aboard the ship were immune to its effects due to certain genetic quirks. Doctor Zahara Cody later discovered that the contagion was actually part of Imperial Bioweapons Project I71A, which was codenamed Blackwing. She and Trig Longo, along with Han Solo and Chewbacca, were the only passengers aboard the Purge to survive the events that followed the ship's infection. It was believed that the re-animated corpses aboard the Star Destroyer had found a way to activate the ship's tractor beam, in an attempt to obtain a ship that could be used to escape from the stranded vessel and spread the contagion elsewhere. The Purge may have been been dragged from its path by the tractor beam, causing the ship's thrusters to burn out, and stranding the barge near the Star Destroyer. (OWS, SWDT)

Purge Virus
This specialized computer virus was developed by alien cultures who didn't want their technology shared with others. The planted the virus inside the programming of their equipment, and if another race's technology ever tried to interface with it, the equipment would dump the virus into the intruder's system. The virus then systematically ate away at the intruder's datacore. The damage could be contained by paying the virus' authors a fee for a translation database, which restored the intruder's datacore to its previous state. (SSR)

Purghom Musical Performance Hall
This noted amphitheater was located in the city of Weogar, on the planet Clak'Dor VII. Although the performers at the Purghom facility were from a wide range of musical styles, each was a recognized virtuoso in their field. (GORW)

Purn, Vistal
A native of the planet Generis, this man once worked for Molpol's Traveling Circus, during the early months of the New Order. As a youth, Purn worked for his parents, shuttling guests to their wilderness ranch along the Atrivis River in an airspeeder. The experience of flying a vehicle was exhilarating, and Purn decided that he wanted to become a pilot. Rather than joining the Imperial military, however, he decided to apprentice with local shipping companies until he earned his pilot's license. During his tenure with the circus, Purn flew the Millennium Falcon, and it was believed that it was Purn who first gave the ship its name. Purn worked as a pilot and part-time clown, but he eventually left the Molpol Circus and established a traveling creature show. Han Solo caught up with Purn on Taris, while Solo and his family were searching for clues about the history of the Millennium Falcon. Purn was managing Sok Brok's Fiftieth Annual Pet Show at the time, overseeing the judging of creatures of all shapes and sizes and identifying those that represented the best of their breeds. After the pet show as over, Purn agreed to tell the Solos about his history with the ship, which began when he fell in love with one of the performers in the Molpol Circus. The ship had been purchased by the circus as a personal conveyance for the owner and the ringmaster. Purn remarked that the Millennium Falcon seemed like too powerful a ship to be part of the circus, but he came to relate the ship's speed and agility with those of the performers in the circus shows. He told the Solos of his attempt to woo Sari Danzer with a flight aboard the Millennium Falcon, revealing that he had been the being who installed the dejarik table in the main hold. They were attacked by Black Hole Pirates while traveling between worlds in the Delphon System and forced to land on Regosh, where the pirates stole the C-9979 lander that the circus used to transport its animals. The atmosphere on Regosh was too thin for many animals, and Purn was forced to load as many creatures as possible into the Millennium Falcon so that they could be transported to safety. Unfortunately, the loss of the lander and some of the animals bankrupted the circus, and Purn was forced to help liquidate all of its assets. He sold the Millennium Falcon to Cix Trouvee, and then later married Sari Danzer. (MF)

Purple Stingwort
This venomous plant was native to the shores of the planet Drongar. It used its color to attract its prey, which it rendered immobile by exuding a potent toxin. When this poison entered the system of most mammalian species, it caused excruitiating pain and almost instant death in most lower species. Any humanoid being coming in contact with the stingwort venom was plunged into anaphylactic shock, which could result in death if not treated immediately. (MBS)

This was one of the four Vagaari who accompanied Bearsh on the mission to locate the remains of the Outbound Flight Project, some three years before the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy. It was Purpsh who surreptitiously installed a navigational recording device aboard the Chaf Envoy, so that the Vagaari would have a way to escape the Redoubt after they eliminated the Chiss. (SQ)

Purr
This Tinnell originally left her homeworld when a freighter, known as the Bottom Line, landed to investigate the planet. She was curious about the ship, and sneaked aboard to explore. She was still in the ship when it lifted off, and wasn't discovered until the ship was deep in hyperspace. The crew of the ship didn't know her name, and gave her the nickname Purr. She was valuable to the crew of the Bottom Line, helping to repair the ship and make was run better. However, the crimelord who owned the ship wasn't too happy with the stowaway, and put Purr to work at a variety of menial jobs. After the crimelord and his gang were killed an a gangwar, Purr called upon The Force to help her survive. She fled on the first ship that would take her, and ended up on Dohu VII. It was there that she met the smuggler Dannen Lifehold, where Purr discovered that Dannen's ship, the Lifeline, was in need of repair. She was a natural mechanic, and agreed to help him fix the ship. Despite her experiences, she remained quite naïve and innocent about a great many things. (SWJ1)

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

Pursuer-class Enforcement Ship
An older model of MandalMotors' police ship, this 30.1-meter craft was used by the Mandalorians as a system patrol vehicle. During the height of the Clone Wars, MandalMotors was forced to refit the ship for use as a picket ship by the Separatists. The Pursuer-class ship required a single pilot, and had room for 2 guards and 5 prisoners. It had enough shielding to handle most pirates, and was armed with a twin blaster cannon, an ion cannon, and a proton torpedo launcher. The ship was basically a long, thin rectangle stabilized in flight by a port-side wing and maneuvering cluster. After the Clone Wars, the Pursuer-class enforcement ship was made available throughout the galaxy, but often only to those planets that were loyal to the Empire. Note that Star Wars Gamer, issue 7, indicates that the Pursuer-class ship measured fifty meters in length. (DESB, EGV, FOP, SWI80, GMR7)

Pursuit Line
This was the term used to describe any line of Imperial Navy warships that was missioned to pursue a retreating enemy force and maintain contact with them, in an effort to track them back to their base.

Push-feather
This was one of the many games developed by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic for developing the Force sensitivities of young students. The idea was for a student to use the Force to move a feather around. The game was meant to attune a student to the slightest changes in balance and pressure, and to train students to use an opponent's energy against them rather than blocking the opponent's energy with greater energy.

However, the box was an intricately-created puzzle which took a variety of skills to solve and open. There was no limit to the complexity and steps required to open a puzzle box. These boxes originated as children's gifts, but evolved throughout Hapan history to their present form. (WOTC)

Puzzle Room
One of Moff Bandor's Game Chambers of Questal, the Puzzle Room was a natural cave. The floor of the chamber appears to be a single sheet of metal. The center of the room was marked by a large, black, laser-studded sphere suspended above a control panel. When one of Bandor's prisoners enters the chamber, the sphere begins to spin and descend, firing its lasers around the chamber. The object of the chamber was to determine how to use the control panel to turn off the sphere before it descends and shoots you to pieces. (GCQ)

Puzzleflower
This plant, native to the planet Nimban, had interlocking petals that surround the central stem. The Nimbanese people developed a crude form of analytical reasoning as they tried to open the flower's petals to reach the edible stem. (GG12)

Puzzle-wood
This was another name for the corsit-puzzle tree, but it more often referred to the wood that was harvested from the trees.

Pwalloom
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 "thunder". (GCG)

P'w'eck
This alien race resembled smaller versions of the Ssi-ruuk, and were also native to Lwhekk. The Ssi-ruuk used the P'w'ecks as slaves on their starships. The average P'w'eck had been bred by the Ssi-ruuk to be a drone, lacking any form of creativity or initiative. At fifteen years of age, all P'w'ecks were enteched by the Ssi-ruuk. At this age, the P'w'eck was old enough to reproduce but not yet matured into a full adult. The Ssi-ruuk discovered that P'w'ecks who were allowed to mature became unstable and violent, and were useless as slaves. About a year after the Yuuzhan Vong took control of the planet Coruscant and transformed it into a new version of Yuuzhan'tar, the P'w'eck arrived at Bakura claiming that they had defeated the Ssi-ruuk and freed themselves from slavery. The P'w'eck Emancipation Movement presented the Bakurans with an offer of alliance, to strengthen both groups against future invasions. This movement proved to be an elaborate ruse concocted by the Yuuzhan Vong themselves, in an effort to capture both Lwhekk and Bakura, in the hopes of cutting off the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. As part of the alliance, the P'w'eck leaders required that Bakura be consecrated, so that any P'w'eck who died on Bakura would not lose their soul. In reality, the Keeramak was acting on behalf of the Ssi-ruuk, who were actually being controlled by disguised Yuuzhan Vong warriors. The Yuuzhan Vong hoped to take Bakura as well as Lwhekk, in an effort to gain a foothold along the border of the Unknown Regions. (TB, AE, FH2)

P'w'eck Emancipation Movement
This was the name of the group that outwardly championed the liberation of the P'w'eck race from their Ssi-ruuk masters. The movement won the freedom of the P'w'eck during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, and decided to strengthen their position by allying with their former enemies, the Bakurans. The hope was to unite the Bakurans and P'w'eck into an independent alliance that could stand alone, apart from the New Republic.

The leader of the movement was a mutated Ssi-ruu known as the Keeramak, a rainbow-colored individual who opposed his race's self-centered view of the galaxy. Born several years before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, the Keeramak rallied the P'w'eck into a cohesive unit, and led them in a year-long battle to overthrow the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium.

Five years later, Lwothin brought the movement's message of peace to the Bakurans. As part of the unification, the P'w'eck required that Bakura be consecrated, and a lavish ceremony was planned.

It was later discovered that the movement was, in fact, a hoax conceived by the Yuuzhan Vong. Cleverly disguised with full-body ooglith masquers, Yuuzhan Vong posed as both P'w'eck and Ssi-ruu to fool the Bakuran people. Having conquered the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium, the Yuuzhan Vong hoped to also take control of Bakura and gain a foothold along the borders of the Unknown Regions.

However, the spirit of the P'w'eck race was underestimated by both the Ssi-ruuk and the Yuuzhan Vong. Lwothin managed to kill the Keeramak, and P'w'eck crewmen managed to overpower their Ssi-ruuk superiors and halt the invasion of Bakura. A formal alliance between Bakura and the true P'w'eck Emancipation Movement - under the non-coerced control of Lwothin - spelled the end of the scheme to subjugate Bakura. (FH2, NEGA)

Pwigiri
This was a common name among the Toydarian race. (WOTC, UANT)

Pwihei
This Ithorian surname was believed to mean "jeweler", according to historian who studied the Ithorian race. (GCG)

P'w'itthki
This deity was the father of the P'w'eck species. According to the Ssi-ruuk's sacred tome, the G'nnoch, there were four eggs formed at the creation of the universe. From the first hatched Ssi and P'w'itthki. Ssi's children hatched from the second egg, while P'w'itthki's children hatched from the third egg. The fourth egg was reserved for those descendants who earned a place in the afterlife. P'w'itthki taught his hatchlings to hate those of Ssi, showing them how to make war on their brethern. Eventually, Ssi was forced to defeat P'w'itthki in combat, but allowed P'w'itthki's hatchlings to live on, serving the children of Ssi forall eternity. This myth describes the beginning of the relationship between the Ssi-ruuk (htachlings of Ssi) and the P'w'eck (hatchlings of P'w'itthki). (TBSB)

Pwoe
This Quarren Senator to the New Republic served on the Advisory Council during in the initial stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. He was the first Quarren to serve on the Council, and was something of a surprise choice in the wake of the general apathy the Quarren showed the Alliance. It was whispered that Borsk Fey'lya had pushed hard for Pwoe's nomination. Pwoe was opposed to the formation of a new Jedi Council, and was one of the first Senators to question the validity of Leia Organa Solo's assessment of the Yuuzhan Vong's abilities. He also accused Leia of exaggerating the threat in an effort to gather power for herself in order to unseat Fey'lya. In addition, it was Pwoe who first accused Jagged Fel of harboring intense anti-alien biases, despite the fact that Fel had been brought up among the Chiss and was considered one of their own. Pwoe was one of few members of the Advisory Council to reach Borleias, in the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant, and tried to take command of the Republic in the wake of Fey'lya's death. He met with stern opposition from General Wedge Antilles, who believed that Pwoe was not going to work in the best interests of the Republic. Nevertheless, Antilles bowed to Pwoe's demands that Borleias be sacrificed so that the Advisory Council could reconvene and determine a strategy for saving the galaxy. For his own part, Pwoe named himself Chief of State of the New Republic, despite the fact that the Republic was virtually destroyed. He later began moving the command structure of the Republic to Kuat, disregarding the calls from Cal Omas on Calamari to reconvene there. Pwoe, now ostracized from the New Republic, had decided to meet his own agenda, and even agreed to meet with the Peace Brigade - and the Yuuzhan Vong's Supreme Overlord, Shimrra - on Ylesia to discuss treaty of friendship with the Ylesian Republic. Unfortunately, Pwoe's supporters were not interested in allying themselves with the enemy, and many deserted him. Pwoe and the few supporters that traveled with him to Ylesia were captured by General Tigran Jamiro's forces. (VP, DTO, DTR, EL1, EL2, Y)

(ISB)

PX-7
This treaded personnel vehicle was produced by Nen-Carvon during the height of the Galactic Civil War.

Pydyr
This moon, the innermost of three which orbited the planet Almania, was a hot, dry world formed from sandstone and other soft rocks. Its constantly changing landscape forced its inhabitants to become highly adaptable. Meager oceans provided only enough moisture to allow plants and animals to survive, but they were home to the microscopic seafah, whose shells were valued as gemstones. The natives of Pydyr built grand cities of sandstone studded with seafah shells, which were constantly being rebuilt due to the harsh environment's continual erosion of the soft material. The Pydyrians became wealthy harvesting seafah shells and developing medical unguents and salves, and were the creators of the healing stick. As a result this wealth, the Almanians became intensely jealous of the Pydyrians. A centuries-old grudge evolved, but was finally laid to rest by the evil machinations of Dolph. Dolph sent his specially-armed droids to Pydyrian sources, and detonated them all. He killed 1,651,305 Pydyrians, leaving a thousand prisoners for him to torture when he came to survey the destruction himself. (TNR, EGP)

Pydyrian
This was the native language of the Pydyrian people. (EGP)

Pydyrian
This race of tall, thin humanoids was native to the moon of Pydyr. These beings had two-toed feet and three-fingered hands, and their bone structure was very thin. Because of their skeletal structure, many xenoarchaeologists believed that the Pydyrians eveolved from flightless birds. Their oblate skulls were bald at the top, but ringed with a fringe of hair at the base of the skull. All but 1,000 Pydyrians were slaughtered by Dolph when he rose to power, with the survivors being tortured for Dolph's own pleasure. (EGP, TNR, EGA)

Pylokam
An aged human who ran Pylokam's Health Food in Mos Eisley during the last years Luke Skywalker lived on Tatooine.

Pylum
This sour-faced man was the Master of Cerements for the living dead on the planet Necropolis, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. It was his job to ensure that the Curse of Sycorax was not invoked whenever the Necropolitans ignored their dead. When Doctor Evazan successfully reanimated the dead bodied in Necropolis' cemetary, Pylum revealed that he had been working with Evazan all along. Evazan had realized the benefit of having the Master of Cerements under his control, thereby being able to use the ancient superstitions about the dead to cover his experiments with bringing dead bodies back to life. Pylum had been disgruntled with the taunts and jeers he received for his belief in the ancient traditions, and had broken into the Crypt of the Ancients to see if they were true. He found that Sycorax's coffin wasn't filled with a witch's body, ready to exact revenge, but a simple old skeleton wrapped in rags. His own beliefs were shattered, and he decided to join Evazan and earn a portion of te credits the zombie experiments would bring. However, when Boba Fett returned to capture Evazan, Pylum fled the scene and tried to escape. He was killed as he tried to exit the Crypt of the Ancients when one of the crypt's heavy doors fell on him and crushed him. (GOF2)

Pym, Drextar
This native of the planet Exarga was an outspoken Senator to the New Republic. Pym was also the leader of a panel that prosecuted former Imperial officials for their war crimes, a position he cherished because of the fame and power it brought him. He was the target of a series of terrorist attacks from a former Imperial commando, but a team of New Republic agents discovered that Pym was receiving incredible dividends from stock purchases he had made during the New Order. Many of the companies had Imperial ties to active warlords of the early New Republic, or to criminal organizations which acted against the Republic. After the agents were able to rescue Senator Pym's family, the Senator himself was stripped of all governmental privileges until a full investigation of his dealings could be performed. (SWJ7)

However, Pyn was was caught by the agents of House Purkis, who agreed to let him go if he promised to spy for them instead. He agreed to the deal, primarily so that he wouldn't be arrested and sent to prison, but the stress of being a double agent eventually drove him mad.

The remaining ships were arrayed behind the leader in two layers, with three ships directly behind the leader in a triangle, and the remaining ships filling out the three-dimensional pyramid. This formation allowed all TIE Fighters to bring their weapons to bear without hitting the ships in front of them. (DSTR)

Pyramid One
This was the simple name of the massive, pyramid-shaped building that was constructed by the Empire on the planet Ahakista, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Architecturally, Pyramid One shared the same basic shape as the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, or the Great Temple on Yavin Four, in that is was a multi-tiered pyramid with the top section removed, giving it a flat roof that contained a sensor tower and landing pad.

Hidden inside the building was the facility known as The Hub, a massive collection of supercomputers that allowed the Empire to monitor the spacelanes of the galaxy and direct Imperial warships on farflung missions. (SWRAG)

Pyronium
This unusual gemstone was named for the way it seemed to burn with an inner brilliance when exposed to the light. It seemed to cycle from jet black to bright white, moving through the spectrum each time, as it reacted to the ambient lighting conditions. More refined specimens of pyronium were capable of absorbing various forms of quantum energy, often more than a single specimen was capable of storing. This led many scientists to believe that refined pyronium could shunt this additional energy to an unknown hyperspatial plane. It was believed that Anakin Skywalker once gave a large piece of pyronium to Jax Pavan as a gift, while they were training as Jedi Padawans. (CN1, CN2)

Pythea
This T-shaped scout ship was commanded by the Wookiee known as Sarkkin, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Sarkkin and his partner, Panha, intercepted a transmission from a race of warriors that was attacked and destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong, and tried to warn the nearby planet of Artorias of the invasion. However, the communications system lacked enough power to send the transmission, so Sarkkin was forced to reroute power to the communication station, knowing that they might not make it back home. The Pythea took damage from Yuuzhan Vong weapons, and the alien invaders were able to board the small ship. However, Sarkkin and Panha refused to be taken prisoner, and rammed the Pythea into the Yuuzhan Vong flaship, sacrificing themselves in the hope that they could slow down the alien invaders. (INVW)
