Q Series
This was one of the most powerful starship boosters systems produced by MandalMotors, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Q2
A model of hold-out blaster produced by Merr-Sonn Munitions, the Q2 was considered the prototypical holdout weapon. It was lightweight, elegant, and functional, and it became incredibly popular among royals and nobles of the Empire. (RPG, GMS, FOP, AEG)

Q-2
This holdout blaster was produced by SoroSuub during the height of the New Order. It was a direct knock-off of the Merr-Sonn Q2 holdout blasters, with SoroSuub licensing the weapon's plans and manufacturing from Merr-Sonn. (GFT, AEG)

Q-3PO
This protocol droid was given to Doctor Deena Kinnet, after she accepted a position as an Imperial spy. Q-3PO was coated with a white enamel covering, to give it a "medical" look. The droid was actually one of Deena's information collection and transmission sources. (HR)

Q-4
Quarren Industrial's borer droid, the Q-4 was equipped with a repulsor engine, a heavy-duty drilling laser, and various sensor systems. They were small droids, and were programmed with a limited but cheerful personality. (DU)

Q4 Quickfire
see Quickfire-4 (AEG)

Q5A7
This bacta production facility was located on the planet Qretu 5. It was the target of a Rogue Sqaudron attack in the days leading up to the Battle of Thyferra. (BW)

Q-6100
This distinctive ground vehicle was produced by Jadai during the height of the New Order. It measured 8.5 meters in length, and was a heavy craft designed to carry passengers in style. It was last produced some thirty years before the Battle of Yavin, but remained popular on backwater worlds. By the era of the Galactic Civil War, only a few of these vehicles remained in service. (AIR)

Q-65
This district of Galactic City, on the planet Coruscant, was located in the Corellian Quarter that was populated by Corellian immigrants. (LF2)

Q7
This Phylon tractor beam projector system was used aboard the Imperial-class Star Destroyer. It was designed to pull in a target ship with primary tractor beams, then use magnetic field projectors and a docking suspension field to hold the ship in place. Boarding tubes could then be extended from the Q7 system to allow access to the captured ship. The Q7 could accommodate a starship up to 150 meters in length. (SCRE, EGW)

Q-7N
This spherical, repulsor-equipped droid served the Alliance as a translator. Q-7N was assigned to the Massassi Base on Yavin 4, during the evacuation of the base following the destruction of the first Death Star. Q-7N was first discovered by Alliance technicians during the initial refitting of the Great Temple for use as the Alliance's base, although it seemed to be completely addled by its confinement. It claimed to have been the property of a pirate gang that lived in the temple some 2,000 year before the Galactic Civil War, when it had been in charge of the pirate's security measures. Further investigation by Alliance technicians revealed that Q-7N had actually been constructed millennia before his days as a pirate, by the inhabitants of the planet Malagarr. During the months following the Battle of Yavin, Q-7N was instrumental in capturing Captain Skeezer and uncovering the plans to discredit the Alliance at Delrakkin. (IS, GORW, MIS2)

Q7-series Droid
This spherical astromech droid was designed to fit into the small droid port on the Alpha-3 Nimbus V-Wing starfighter. The upper hemisphere of the Q7-series astromech looked almost exactly like the dome of an R2-series astromech, while the lower hemisphere contained the droids' repulsorlift engines. (X3)

Q-8 Starfighter
A defensive starship designed and manufactured by Tocsan during the Galactic Civil War, the Q-8 starfighter was developed for use in small defense forces. (SSR)

Q9-series Droid
Based on the popular R7 series of astromech droids, the Q9 series was an experimental series that never got off the ground. Some felt that the Q9s were a failure because they were too complex, while others demanded more testing. In size and shape, the Q9s resembled the R2 series. (AC, AS, EGD)

Q9-X2
Ebrihim's constant companion, Q9-X2 was a graphic display of the quirks of the Q9-series droids. In most ways, Q9-X2 was a standard astromech droid, equipped with manipulator arms and tools which helped it perform a variety of repairs. Beyond that, Q9-X2 was anything but normal. Q9-X2's intelligence was based on the advanced computing systems of the original Q9-series, and allowed him to continually improve himself, to that point that he installed all sorts of new technology on himself. He installed his own repulsorlifts for better mobility. He gave himself an upgraded brain and vocabulator unit, and learned how to talk. He equipped himself with various tools and sensors, replacing outdated equipment when newer models appeared. He had a tendency to talk too much, but had proven his value a number of times. (AC, AS)

Qabaq, Prrit
This ancient Nazzar Emperor-King was one of Qrrl Toq's anscestors. It was Qabaq who was known to have destroyed the Nazzar monarchy many millennia before the Great Sith War. Histories maintained in the Hall of Edification enlightened Qrrl Toq to the fact that Qabaq had discovered a collection of teachings and ancient rites which drew upon dark, evil powers that promised the wielder with unimaginable power. Qabaq was easily tempted to attain more power,and began practicing the dark rites. His own daughter, Ikree, spoke out against the corruption into which Qabaq had fallen, and a planetwide civil war erupted. In order to stop the war, she forced Qabaq ro accept the Ulizra and the Great Structure, something he vehemently opposed. The lesser government officials understood Ikree's plan, and accepted it. One of the king's henchmen then murdered Ikree, in order to regain his power. However, the charges against Qabaq were upheld, and future leaders of the Nazzar were quick to take the Ulizra at its face value. (TOJC)

Qade
This man served as a Sergeant in the Galactic Alliance Guard on Coruscant, during the height of the war between the Galactic Alliance and The Confederation, some forty years after the Battle of Yavin. (LF9)

Qaestar Port Control
This was the primary customs and law enforcement agency found in Qaestar Town, on the planet Talus. (CCW)

Qaestar Ridge
Located on the planet Talus, this two-kilometer-tall plateau was located just outside of Qaestar Town. It was atop this plateau that the city's primary spaceport was located. Visitors walked into Qaestar Town by following the Qaestar Steps. (CCW)

Qaestar Steps
This sereis of seven wide promenades connected the city of Qaestar Town with its spaceport, located atop Qaestar Ridge, on the planet Talus. (CCW)

Qaestar Town
Located on the planet Talus, this city was the largest on either of the Double Worlds. Located near the Qaestar Ridge, which served as the location for the city's spaceport, Qaestar Town served as the primary debarkation point for visitors to Talus. (CCW)

Qah
This form of bio-engineered cell was created by the Yuuzhan Vong Shapers for implantation into another's brain. When properly placed, the Qah cell removed an old memory and replaced it with a new one. The Qah cell could carry almost any form of memory, so the Shaper could create a entirely new history for an individual and the implant it in their brain. (EVC)

Qahsa
This was the name of the creature created by the Yuuzhan Vong to served as a form of computer memory bank. Qahsa could come in a variety of sizes, from personal devices to the memory banks of a worldship. Most often, the data contained in the qahsa was accessed via a congition hood. This data was maintained in increasingly dense cortexes, and each successive cortex could only be accessed by a more experienced individual. Shapers maintained a qahsa which had seven specific cortexes surrounding the ultimate, eighth cortex. Only Master Shapers could access information beyond the fifth cortex. All information contained within the qahsa was believed to have been bestowed upon the Yuuzhan Vong by their gods. Any Yuuzhan Vong who searched for new information, beyond that which was contained in the qahsa, was considered heretical. (EVC, EVR)

Qail Uthan, Ovolot
This respected scientist and researcher was hired by Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems to develop nanoviruses that could be used as weapons during the Clone Wars. Her first discovery was a nanovirus that could be altered to act solely on the clone troopers being created for the Grand Army of the Republic. This discovery led to a great deal of funding, and Uthan was transported to Qiilura to continue her work. On Qiilura, she was supported and protected by Ghez Hokan, and she was able to establish a facility that allowed her to work in private. The primary problem with the development of the FG36 nanovirus was creating something that would attack only clone troopers, which were essentially Mandalorians and differed very little from baseline human stock. Thus, the unrefined nanovirus was capable of killing indiscriminately. She had nearly uncovered a way to target the clones when her operation on Qiilura was discovered by the Old Republic.

When Jedi Master Kast Fulier was killed trying to locate her, the Republic dispatched a squad of clone commandos to locate her. With the help of Master Fulier's Padawan, Etain Tur-Mukan, the commandos were able to infiltrate Hokan's complex and capture Uthan. The threat of the nanovirus was eliminated when the commandos destroyed the research facility. Uthan was injured during the extraction of the commandos, when she was being carried by Atin. One of Hokan's soldiers hit Atin with a blast from a Verpine shatter gun, injuring both of them. Uthan herself was badly injured by a pieces of Atin's body armor which had absorbed the blast and shattered into shrapnel. Fortunately, both were removed to a medical frigate and treated immediately, and both Atin and Uthan survived the blast. Doctor Uthan was shipped off to Coruscant, and was kept under close guard. It was later learned that Chancellor Palpatine kept Doctor Uthan alive in case he needed her expertise to eliminate the Grand Army of the Republic, in the event that the Jedi or the clone troopers turned against him.

However, Doctor Uthan's work on the clone-killing nanovirus eventually attracted the attention of Kal Skirata, who was searching for a way to reverse the rapid aging of the clone troopers. With some investigation by Bardan Jusik, Skirata and his cadre of Null-class ARC Troopers located Doctor Uthan at the Valorum Center, where she was passing the time breeding soka flies. In the days that preceded General Grievous' attack on Coruscant, Jusik and a group of clones were able to liberate Doctor Uthan, although they refused to provide her with any information on where they were taking her. She was therefore surprised when she discovered that she had been transported to the backwater world of Mandalore. Skirata explained to her that he needed her to reverse the aging of clones, and he would provide her with all the research and data he and his commandos had acquired over the years. Realizing that she had little choice but to agree, and that the sooner she figured it out, the sooner she would be set free, Doctor Uthan accepted the task. (RCHC, RCTC, RC66)

Qalita Prime
This planet petitioned for membership in the New Republic after the world's Right Earl grew tired of piracy against their cargo ships. Their petition was delayed during the Yevethan Great Purge. (BTS)

Qalsneek the Bull
This ancient Jedi Master was a native of the planet Dellalt, and a member of the race of Swimming People that inhabited the planet's oceans. Master Qalsneek was later discovered to have imparted his knowledge into a holocron made of sea-crystals, when the holocron was discovered in the ruins of Derem City, on Kamino, during an archaeological expedition that took place many years before the Battle of Naboo. (GORW)

Qalu, Tsaa
This Yuuzhan Vong warrior was in command of the forces which protected the aliens' base on Wayland, some 28 years after the Battle of Endor. A warrior of the Nuun, Tsaa Qalu chafed at the inexperienced forces he was provided to guard the Mount Tantiss ruins, but kept his own skills razor-sharp. Rather than capture Klin-Fa Gi and Uldir Lochett, Tsaa Qalu chose to let them escape the planet, in hopes of pursuing them into space and locating the hidden Jedi base. The Shapers on Wayland ordered Tsaa Qalu to take the Throat Slasher and hunt down the infidels, and he nearly succeeded. However, a side mission was to ensure that Bey Gandan reached Thyferra in order to deliver the virus which would destroy the alazhi trees. Tsaa Qalu played his game to perfection, despite the misgivings of his crew, and managed to get Bey to Thyferra despite the efforts of the Dug, Leaft. However, Leaft had decided that the Yuuzhan Vong were not going to let him live, so he fought back against Tsaa Qalu and his crew. The Dug stole a coralskipper and used the cognition hood in the craft to force the Throat Slasher to crash into Thyferra. Tsaa Qalu and his entire crew were killed in the explosion. (SWI62, SWI64)

Qalydon
This planet served as the base of operations for the Fellowship of Kooroo. The planet was one of the many worlds that became battlefields, during the height of the Clone Wars. (SWJ13, SWDB)

Qana
This was a legume that grew in a pliable shell. The individual beans had to be removed from the shell before cooking or eating. (RCHC)

Qang Qahsa
This Yuuzhan Vong qahsa was designed to hold all information and protocols known to the Shapers of their people. The Qang qahsa had five primary cortexes, which were accessible to all shapers, with two additional inner cortexes which could only be accessed by Master Shapers. At the very core of the Qang qahsa, an eighth cortex rsupposedly evealed the most sacred of protocols bestowed upon the Yuuzhan Vong by their gods. The information in the Qang qahsa was maintained through the use of a massive rikyam brain. Unknown to virtually every Yuuzhan Vong individual, the Qang qahsa had not come from the gods. Instead, it contained all the information on the creation of biotechnology that had been given to the Ur-Yuuzhan Vong millennia ago, during their struggle to defeat a stronger alien race. All knowledge of the origins of the Qang qahsa's knowledge had long since been removed from their history, to ensure that subsequent generations continued to revere their gods above all else. In the intervening generations, all information was eventually taken from the Qang qahsa and bestowed upon the Shapers, so that they could create the things needed for the Yuuzhan Vong to survive and prosper. The eighth cortex was then said to hold the information needed to defeat the Jedi Knights, although it was, in fact, completely empty. (EVR, NJOSB)

Q'Anilia
This female Miralukan was one of the Jedi Masters who taught at the satellite training facility on Taris, during the years following the Great Sith War. As a youth, Q'Anilia was among the small group of students who were trained as seers by Lady Krynda Draay. Years later, Master Q'Anilia was known among the Jedi Consulars as an exceptionally gifted seer, and could see vivid images of the future through the Force.

Unknown to her students, Q'Anilia was part of Master Lucien Draay's plan to murder of all the Padawans who were under their tutelage. Only Zayne Carrick escaped, having arrived late to a ceremony that the Padawans believed was to elevate them to the ranks of Jedi Knights. Carrick escaped, forcing Master Lucien and the other instructors to blame the murders of the Padawans on Carrick in order to cover their tracks. Information recovered from the memory banks of the labor droid T1-LB revealed to Zayne that Master Q'Anilia and the other Masters had experienced intense visions through the Force, in which the Padawans were destined to become Sith Lords who swept across the galaxy and exterminated the Jedi Order. Thus, the Master were forced to take it upon themselves to kill their Padawans, in an effort to save the galaxy.

After Zayne managed to escape their grasp, Master Q'Anilia and the other Masters were recalled to Coruscant by the Jedi Order, to bolster the Old Republic's forces as the Mandalorian Wars reached their height. Only Raana Tey remained on Taris, having foreseen that Zayne would return to the planet. However, her death on Taris brought on a kind of shared vision among most members of The Covenant. Only Lucien Draay failed to see a vision of a stern-faced, near-human male who was controlling the rakghouls of Taris with the Muur Talisman, but he heeded their warnings and dispatched Celeste Morne to recover the artifact. After Celeste was possessed by the Muur Talisman and imprisoned herself in Lord Dreypa's Oubliette, she requested that Zayne Carrick take her body to the Sanctum of the Exalted on Odryn, in the hope that she might be able to remove the artifact. This served to provide Zayne with evidence of The Covenant's secret actions, which prompted Q'anilia and Xamar to experience more visions of the coming crisis. Feln's death on Odryn only served to bear out the veracity of their visions, which were no longer shared by Lucien Draay, who refused to see Q'anilia's distress as anything more than an emotional reaction.

Q'Anilia and the surviving members of the Covenant returned to Coruscant in haste, believing that Zayne Carrick might try to reach Lady Krynda. Although they were correct in this assumption, the Jedi Masters failed to see the true evil that was in their midst. The Draay family's loyal servant, Haazen, had manipulated them all, taking control of Lady Krynda's operations so that he himself controlled everything that happened at the Draay Estate. Haazen also managed to cut off the Jedi Order from much of its infrastructure, and went so far as to take control of the Republic fleet that was protecting Coruscant, using the remote-control capabilities of the Vanjervalis Chain to fire on Jedi-held locations across the planet. Haazen then named himself Darth Hayze, and threatened to unite the Jedi and the Sith in a single army. Q'Anilia was unable to comprehend the swirling madness that the Force showed to her, and fearing that Lady Krynda was in trouble, she set out to protect her. However, after fighting her way through the guards that defended Lady Krynda's chambers, Q'Anilia discovered that Krynda had been laid to rest in a transparent coffin. She was discovered by the side of the coffin by Marn Hierogryph, who had snuck away from Haazen to see if he could discover Krynda's location. Q'Anilia explained that Krynda had suffered a stroke, and that her presence was no longer in the Force. Assuming that Krynda had died, Q'Anilia saw that her own life had become part of the Rogue Moon Prophecy. Instead of allowing the prophecy to run its course, she took a dose of poison, and allowed herself to become one with the Force and rejoin Lady Krynda. As she died, Q'Anilia explained to Hierogryph why she had taken the poison, but the Snivvian realized that her visions had been poorly interpretted. Zayne Carrick was not one to be feared, but one who might be able to save the galaxy. Unfortunately, the poison had ravaged Q'Anilia's body, and she died knowing that the Covenant had made grave mistakes in their interpretations of the future. Hierogryph later discovered that Lady Krynda's coffin was actually an oubliette, and that she was merely in stasis. (KOR1, KOR2, KORH, KORV, KOR8, KOR10)

Qanna
These insectile creatures, native to the homeworld of the Yuuzhan Vong, were bred for their ability to memorize and play back music, using their intricately-formed mandibles. The carapace of a qanna gleamed with all colors of the rainbow, making them pleasing to look at as well. (EVR)

Qantaras, Qatak
This Tarro was an Alliance operative who worked in the Masgen System during the Galactic Civil War. (GG12)

Qaqquqqu
This man was an Imperial Lord, still holding onto dreams of the rebirth of the Empire during the early years of the New Republic. He was working under Hethrir to try and establish the Empire Reborn, supporting Hethrir by purchasing slaves from the Firrerreo. Like many of his kind, Qaqquqqu had managed to stockpile a large amount of credits following the downfall of the Empire, and still maintained a decent income despite the New Republic's plans to cut him off. (CS)

Qarek'k
This bar, located in the underworld of the planet Coruscant, was named for the Neimoidian word for "dive". To enter the Qarek'k, patrons walked through a portal and into a repulsor field, which dropped them down to the actual entrance. Individuals were screened during their descent for security purposes, and any being who failed to meet the bar's requirements was sent back up to the portal. Despite these precautions, any being could enter the Qarek'k carrying virtually any form of weaponry. Use of such weaponry, however, was strictly prohibited, and any being who drew a weapon within the confines of he Qarek'k would be severely punished by the bar's hired security force. Thus, the Qarek'k became a haven for criminals of all sorts. The main bar included several stages where live bands played on a regular basis, with light shows that were at once dazzling and potentially dangerous due to their use of light of varous wavelengths. For patrons who wanted to get away from the noise, there were several adjoining rooms that offered their own separate bars. These rooms were named for the predominant color of their lighting, as in the Crimson Redrum or the Green Dystopia. (CN2)

Qaresi Squadron
This was one of the best starfighter squadrons stationed aboard the Galactic Alliance warship Bounty, during the height of the Corellia-GA War. (LF5)

Qarisa Eight
This was the callsign of one of the Galactic Alliance starships that accompanied the Bounty and the Daring on their patrol of the galaxy near Bothan Space, during the height of the Corellia-GA War. Note that this might be a typo, referring to a starfighter from Qaresi Squadron. (LF5)

Qarl
This Mon Calamari was a Captain in the Alliance Navy, and was the commander of the Mantan Wanderer. (ROE)

Qarohan Steppes
This flatland was located on the planet Drongar, some fifty kilometers to the south of the Jasserak Lowlands. (MJH)

Qashmel
This luxurious material was used to weave some of the most beautiful rugs and carpets ever produced on the planet Hapes. (LF3)

Qaspi, Threx
This was a Skrilling individual, distinguished in the history of Agriworld-2079. (UANT)

Qasqi
This gas giant was the fourth planet of the Centares System, located in the Mid Rim. It was orbited by eleven moons. (WOA32)

Qat, Hul
This Yuuzhan Vong was once a member of the warrior caste, until he was marked as a Shamed One and left on the planet Coruscant. After hearing the words of the Prophet, Yu'shaa, Hul Qat came to believe that the Jedi weren't the enemies that Supreme Overlord Shimrra had described. Hul Qat was one of the first of the Shamed Ones to volunteer to flee Coruscant and search out the living planet which would help liberate the Shamed Ones. Hul Qat managed to reach the planet Dagobah, which teemed with life but was not alive in and of itself. On Dagobah, Hul Qat met up with Tahiri Veila, but was also pursued by a group of Yuuzhan Vong warriors. He managed to escape the warriors with Tahiri's help, but he was badly wounded. With his dying breaths, Hul Qat asked if he had, in fact, found the living planet. Tahiri didn't believe so, but she told him that he had succeeded. Hul Qat asked Tahiri to return to the Prophet to let him know of the planet's existence, and then died. Tahiri realized that this might be the reason she was half-Jedi, half-Yuuzhan Vong, and set out to locate Yu'shaa. (FP)

Qat, Vintul
This Yuuzhan Vong was in command of the warship that intercepted the No Luck Required when it fled Wayland. (SWI63)

Qat Chrystac
This Sumitra Sector planet was the site of Lando Calrissian's shieldship depot, serving the ships traveling to and from the Nomad City outpost on the planet Nkllon, during the early years of the New Republic. Much of the planet was covered with radioactive volcanoes that spew toxic lava across its surface at a prodigious rate. (TLC, REB, TTSB)

Qatamer
This city was located on the planet Lorrd. It served as the capital of the Kinyov province, and was considered by many to have been the birthplace of modern Lorrdian culture because it was one of the handful of cities that survived the Kanz Disorders. Because the Kinyov province was largely uninhabited during the decades that followed the Great Sith War, Qatamer and the surrounding area were relatively untouched by Argazdan invaders. The surviving Lorrdians from nearby cities fled to Qatamer, hoping to avoid capture. Instead, the Argazan invaders tracked them to the city and established their primary outpost near Qatamer. From this outpost, the Argazdans managed their slave trade, until they were defeated by the Jedi Knights. The Lorrdians who were freed chose to remain on Qatamer, and established their new civilization there. Despite its location in the middle of the arid Kinyov province, Qatamer was a pleasant city to visit. Lorrdian buildings within its borders were painted in various colors, although the few remaining Argazdan buildings were easily distinguished by their black, stone exteriors. (OWS)

Qatamer Spaceport
This was one of the largest spaceports found on the planet Lorrd, during the height of the New Order. (OWS)

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

Qayayir
This was a common name among the Yinchorri race. (UANT)

Q-E
The small, red E-series droid C-3PO and R2-D2 meet on Kalarba. He, along with his droid companions U-E and 2-E, used to run the local nursery for as long as anyone in town can remember. About the time that C-3PO and R2-D2 were acquired by the town's baron, the three little droids were ordered by Mister Vuldo to build illegal blasters. After U-E was destroyed by Vuldo, Q-E and 2-E got C-3PO, R2-D2, and Nak to help them expose Vuldo's scheme. (DRO)

Qeeq
This was a subspecies of fist-sized Killiks that were part of the Colony. (DN3)

Qee-Zutton Booksellers
This was one of the largest providers of fiction and non-fiction reading materials, during the early years of the New Republic. (OWS)

Qeimat System
It was in this planetary system that a set of COMPNOR scandocs was intercepted by the media, revealing the existence of the Ubiqtorate division of Imperial Intelligence. (ISB)

Qeimet Fleet
This was the designation of a fleet of Imperial starships stationed near the Hook Nebula. The fleet was led by the flagship Victorious, and was home to the "White Death" Scimitar Assault Wing carried aboard the Star Destroyer Retribution. The fleet's primary objective was to quell the rebellious worlds found near the Nebula and bring them under Imperial control. (ISB, SWJ15)

Qek
This was the seventeenth symbol in the Aurebesh script, and represents the Basic letter "q". (SWM)

Qektoth Attack Cruiser
This dagger-shaped warship was developed by the Qektoth Confederacy for their fleets. It measured 105 meters in length, and had a pointed bow which curved downward slightly, giving it the appearance of a sharp beak. It required a crew of 38, along with 10 gunners, and could transport up to fifty troops. The Attack Cruiser was armed with four turret-mounted plasma cannons and a forward-facing bio-energy array. They were capabale of hyperspace travel, but Qektoth technology limited it to a Class-3 rating. (KR)

Qektoth Confederation
This band of criminals roamed the border of the Kathol Outback near the Kathol Rift from a base on Qu'mock Station. They preyed primarily on the Uukaalbian society, but hoped to locate Yvara and develop a human hive-mind based on the Yvarema physiology. The confederation was formed about 25 years before the Battle of Endor, by a group of scientists who wanted to find new uses for unusual bio-technology. They believed that modern technology was responsible for sapping the strength and spirit of any being it touched,and hoped to replace most items with biological equivalents. Over the next two decades, the Qektoth Confederation turned into a militant group that hoped to gain control by preying on those beings weakened by technology. Led by Trann Shoame, the confederation unleashed a biochemical agent mated with a strange, biotechnology found near the Kathol Rift, on the crew of the FarStar to test its effectiveness. The confederation also traded some of its technology to Moff Sarne, in return for starships and crews. Drigor Tarrens also discovered that the leadership of the Qektoth Confederation had taken skin samples from all its employees, and was using the cells to create enhanced clones without their knowledge or consent. He threatened to expose them, but was apprehended and sentenced to death. Tarrens fled to Uukaablis, but later exposed the Confederation's plans with the help of the FarStar's crew. The Qektoth later discovered the Lifeline Project, and monitored the progress of the FarStar through Kathol Sector. When they learned of the Battle of Kathol, the Qektoth decided to try and take the DarkStryder technology from Sarne by helping the New Republic forces. However, the three warships the Confederacy sent to Kathol were poorly armed, and they were quickly knocked out of the battle. (KO, KR, E)

Qel, Tsun
This Yuuzhan Vong Shaper claimed to have been sent to assist Nen Yim by Mezhan Kwaad herself. In reality, Tsun was a spy who had been sent to Yavin 4 to ensure that no heretical activity was taking place during the examination of Tahiri Veila. He had been given a complete history of Nen Yim's activities and suspected heresies, in order to gain her confidence without alerting her to his true motives. (EVC)

Qel-Bertok, Lanius
see Qel-Bertuk, Lanius (AYS)

Qel-Bertuk, Lanius
This Jedi Master succeeded Nerra Ziveri as the watchman of the Cularin System, some twenty-four years before the Battle of Naboo. Qel-Bertuk warned the Jedi Council of the system's dense concentration of the Force, especially the Dark Side energies discovered on the planet Almas. However, he received little in the way of assistance from the Council, which was already being stretched thin due to the increasing unrest in the Old Republic. Thus, Master Qel-Bertuk developed a form of autonomy from the main Council, but worked to ensure that the Almas Academy continued to teach its students with the highest of ideals.

After the Battle of Naboo and the rise to power of the Thaereian Military in the Cularin System, Master Qel-Bertuk found himself more and more troubled by the advance of the Dark Side of the Force. This period also saw the emergence of the Believers, a group that deeply troubled the Jedi Knights. Thus, when he was approached by Broof Yurdel and Osten Dal'Nay about a possible military action against the Thaereians, Master Qel-Bertuk found himself reluctantly agreeing to support their plans. He solidified his position when Thaereian agents cut off all transmissions from Almas to Coruscant, forcing him to act with complete independence from the Jedi Council in supporting Operation False Horizon.

Once the Cularin Militia managed to gain control of Thaereian-held bases, Master Qel-Bertuk pledged that the Jedi Knights on Almas would provide peace-keeping assistance throughout Cularin. However, like the Jedi Council on Coruscant, Master Lanius failed to see the dark cloud that erupted into the Clone Wars. He fought inner turmoil and political reservations to keep the Almas Academy free, and eventually received formal permission to keep the Academy active from the Jedi Council. Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi personally traveled to Almas to deliver word of the Council's decision, as well as the decision to name Master Qel-Bertuk as the Academy's Master. Among the first tasks assigned to Master Qel-Bertuk was the capture of the woman known as the Black Queen.

This time of excitement lasted just a few years, until Master Qel-Bertuk was ordered by the Jedi Council to transfer all available Jedi to Coruscant to augment the Republic Armed Forces in the fight against the Separatists. He chose to send a handful of individuals, but remained committed to keeping the Almas Academy an active training center. He reasoned that there were many ways to follow the Jedi Code, despite the unilateral call-to-arms that occurred as the Clone Wars broke out. His methods, he believed, would result in more Padawans completing their training, rather than leaving the Jedi Order to become disgruntled opponents or outright adherents of the Dark Side of the Force. His stance began to change as the Clone Wars ground on, and Master Qel-Bertuk became haggard with the effort of keeping the Almas Academy intact while the galaxy fell apart around him. He made regular appearance on the Cularin HoloNet nodes, commending the people of Cularin and begging them to continue their dogged pursuit of freedom and justice. His manner, however, suggested that he knew something more about the state of the galaxy, and not even Yara Grugara could pry any information from him.

When the Jedi Council finally ordered the Almas Academy to supply its Knights and Masters to the Grand Army of the Republic, Master Lanius was the first of many to invoke the Right of Denial. He continued to serve as the leader of the Almas Academy, but was under increasing pressure from the Jedi Council to obey their commands. In the wake of the Clone Wars, the Almas Academy was bombarded from orbit by the naval forces of the newly-formed Galactic Empire, and Master Lanius was never seen again. (LFC, LFCW, JCT2, EGF)

Qel-Droma
This Alderaanian frigate was part of the home fleet that defended Alderaan, during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (SWDB)

Qel-Droma, Cay
A native of the planet Alderaan, Cay was Ulic Qel-Droma's brother, and a Jedi Knight who learned about The Force from Master Arca on Arkania during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. Cay and Ulic were born to noble parents on Alderaan, and their mother was a Jedi Knight. He was good friends with Tott Doneeta, another of Master Arca's apprentices. When he, Ulic, and Tott were dispatched to Onderon to mediate the planet's growing unrest, Cay lost his arm in the battle between the Beastmasters and the Onderonians. He replaced it with a prosthetic arm from a droid which was destroyed in the battle. Like his brother, Cay was born on Alderaan. Unlike his brother, Cay was level-headed when it came to his abilities with the Force. Cay was greatly dismayed when Ulic attempted to infiltrate the Krath by turning to the Dark Side, and was caught up in the Sith War because of it. Cay tried many times to reach his brother and return him to the Light Side, but always to no avail. When Ulic was brought to trial on Coruscant, Cay tried to speak on his behalf. This plea was interrupted by the appearance of Exar Kun, who defeated the Jedi and reclaimed Ulic. Cay continued to fight against the Sith, and again met his brother in battle. This time, it was on Ossus, where the Jedi were trying to rescue their libraries from the destruction of the Cron System. There, Cay and Ulic were engaged in a starship battle that ended when Ulic shot Cay down. Only Cay's piloting skills kept him alive. When they met on the planet's surface, Cay pleaded with Ulic to return to the Light. Ulic refused, and initiated a lightsaber duel. Cay fought well, but could not bring himself to kill his brother. This left an opening for Ulic, who struck Cay down with a vicious swing of his lightsaber. Cay died in Ulic's arms as the remnants of the Light Side in Ulic were able to regain some control over his mind. However, Nomi Sunrider cut Ulic completely off from the Force, leaving him adrift. Some years later, Ulic remembered his slain brother by naming his starship Cay's Dream. (TOJ, DLS, TSW, TOJC, NECH)

Qel-Droma, Duron
This ancient Jedi Knight was the cousin of Cay and Ulic Qel-Droma. Duron participated briefly in the Great Sith War, but disappeared shortly after the Great Hunt and was never seen again. It was believed that he was dispatched to Korriban with Shaela Nuur and Guun Han Saresh, although they were never located. A datapad found later by another group of Jedi Knights - on Korriban to search for clues to the whereabouts of Darth Malak - revealed that Duron's team had been hunting down the various terentateks that had been set loose during the Great Sith War. Their success was due, in part, to Duron's ability to connect with the mind of a terentatek through the Force, allowing his comrades to kill the beast while it was disoriented. Because of their abilities, Duron and his team were sent to Korriban to eliminate what were believed to be the last surviving terentateks. Guun Han, however, was both jealous of, and angered by, the romance that was blossoming between Duron and Shaela, claiming that their emotions for each other went against the Jedi Code and threatened their ability to defeat the Sith. Guun Han decided to go his separate way, leaving Duron and Shaela to travel to Korriban on their own. They found several of the beasts, but the Dark Side energy of the planet cut Duron off from his ability to connect with the Terentateks. Although he managed to strike a blow against one of the beasts, Duron was unable to control it, and the terentatek injured him badly before escaping. As he lay dying, Duron had a vision of the coming struggle between Revan and Darth Malak, and asked Shaela to leave him on Korriban so that Revan would find his cloak. As he died, Duron confessed his love for Shaela, an emotion she quickly returned. (KOTOR, T23)

Qel-Droma, Ulic
A native of the planet Alderaan, Ulic was a Jedi Knight who was very powerful in the use of The Force. He was born on Alderaan, and raised in a family of great warriors. His mother was a Jedi Knight. Along with his brother, Cay, they were apprenticed to the Jedi Master Arca on Arkania, during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. When they had completed their training, Arca sent them - along with fellow student Tott Doneeta - to Onderon to help put an end to the fighting between the city dwellers and the beastmasters. When they tried to defend the city dwellers in Iziz, they discovered the Dark Side energies flowing there. They also discovered that the dwellers of Iziz were the real enemy, and strove to defeat Queen Amanoa.

They eventually overcame the Dark Side threat, and later found the tomb of Freedon Nadd. They tried to rid the planet of Nadd's influence, but Arca was captured by the hidden King Ommin. Ulic sent for more Jedi and help from the Old Republic, and their combined forces were able to defeat Ommin and recover Arca. The Jedi then helped Iziz rebuild itself, during which time Ulic fell in love with Nomi Sunrider. When they were cleaning up the Dark Side artifacts, the spirit of Freedon Nadd reappeared and told Ulic he would become one of the greatest Sith Lords. Ulic and Nomi were assigned to assist in the retaking of the Empress Teta System from the Krath, who had declared war on the Jedi. Ulic proposed that he should join the Krath and attempt to defeat it from the inside. He made himself heard at the Great Council on Deneba. However, the Jedi Masters feared that Ulic would be drawn into the Dark Side, but during their discussions the Krath attacked.

He fought bravely, only to see Master Arca killed while he was distracted. This hardened his resolve to eradicate the Krath, and he set out to discover the Dark Side of the Force first-hand. He hoped that by becoming a Dark Side follower, he could find its weaknesses and use it against the Krath. He was seduced by Aleema, and his despair at Arca's death only made him an easier target for the Dark Side and the Sith magic. His brother, Cay, and Nomi Sunrider went to Cinnagar to return Ulic to the Light Side, but their combined love for Ulic could not sway him from the Dark Side. At this time, Exar Kun intervened and severely injured Aleema while trying to overcome Ulic and recover a Sith amulet. Their combined fury released an ancient Sith spirit, who claimed both of them for the Dark Side.

Exar Kun was named Dark Lord of the Sith while Ulic was named his apprentice. He became caught up in Exar Kun's plans and became a Dark Jedi himself. He joined forces with the ancient Mandalorian warriors after defeating their leader, and conquered star system after star system with the power of the Dark Side. He was captured by the Jedi and brought to trial on Coruscant, but was freed by the intervention on Exar Kun and the Mandalorians. They then travelled to Ossus, in an attempt to take possession of the Jedi and Sith knowledge stored there. Ulic was again captured by the Jedi, this time by his brother, Cay, who challenged him to a duel. In his Dark Side fury, Ulic cut down his brother in a bloody battle. Some part of the Light Side still remained, and Ulic was brought to his knees by the import of what he had done.

Nomi Sunrider, enraged by Ulic's actions, used the Force in anger and cut Ulic off from the Force. Thus weakened, Ulic felt no more need to support Exar Kun and the Sith. In the end, Ulic led the Jedi to Yavin 4, where they were able to defeat Kun and quell the Sith uprising. Ten years later, Ulic fled to Rhen Var in an effort to isolate himself from the galaxy and to find peace. He thought to let himself die in a storm, but the spirit of Master Arca urged him to survive. He was unprepared for the arrival of Vima Sunrider, who wanted him to teach her the ways of the Jedi. Despite his misgivings, Ulic realized that this was why Master Arca had urged him to live. He took Vima under his tutelage, and trained her to the best of his abilities. He even tried to be civil when Nomi arrived on Rhen Var to recover her daughter. However, shortly after Nomi's arrival, Sylvar came to the planet and challenged him to a duel.

Sylvar had the advantage of contact with the Force, but Ulic fought bravely in an effort to return Sylvar to the Light Side of the Force. Sylvar came to her senses, but was too focused on herself to notice that Hoggon had followed her. Hoggon shot Ulic in the back with his blaster, believing that he had killed the greatest traitor of the Jedi order. Despite the fact that Ulic no longer had contact with the Force, his lifeless body nonetheless disappeared and became part of the Force. (TOJ, FNU, DA, DE1, DLS, TSW, EGC, TOJC, TOJR, NECH, EGF)

Qella
This alien race had a rare, eighteen-pair genetic structure built from six unique building blocks and contained in 62 chromosomes, and communicated via a series of pitch-based transmissions. Their civilization had descended from the earlier Ahra Naffi, but had no children of their own when it was discovered that the two moons which orbited their homeworld of Brath Qella were on a collision course with the planet. The vast majority of the Qella agreed with the evaluation that the moons' impact would cause ecological ruin on their homeworld, while a few were adamant that the threat was being overblown. Those who understood and believed the threat created the starship which would later become known as the Teljkon vagabond, and created a device which could house vast amounts of data on what the Qella held as important and necessary information. It also carried the blueprints of how to genetically rebuild the Qella race, should that become necessary. These Qella dug deep tombs in which to hibernate during the foretold ice age. The ship departed Brath Qella about 120 years before the Galactic Civil War, just after the Old Republic had first discovered their world. The smaller of the two moons of Brath Qella impacted the larger, and the resulting storm of huge pieces of rock virtually destroyed the planet. The Qella who remained on the surface of the planet were killed in the ensuing - and almost instantaneous - ice age. By the time a survey ship could return to the planet, it was deserted. The Teljkon vagabond eventually returned to Brath Qella, shortly after the Battle of N'zoth, and began the laborious process of re-warming Brath Qella and making it habitable again for the Qella. (BTS, TT)

Qennto, Dubrak
This Corellian man, known to his close friends as Rak, was the owner and Captain of the Bargain Hunter, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Rak had developed something of a romantic relationship with his first mate, Maris Ferasi, although they kept it to themselves. Rak and crew, which also included Jorj Car'das, were captured by then Force Commander Thrawn and the Springhawk some five years before the onset of the Clone Wars, after they made a blind jump into hyperspace to avoid being captured by Progga the Hutt. Qennto felt both angry and frustrated by the situation, and refused to acknowledge the seeming hospitality offered to he and his crew by Thrawn. When the others set off for language lessons, Qennto remained behind, silently nursing a grudge against his alien hosts. He was approached by Thrawn shortly after the Chiss captured a Vagaari treasure ship, and asked to catalog the artwork and valuables found in the ship's holds. In exchange, Thrawn offered Qennto a portion of the treasure, for his services and to help cover the costs of his operations while he was being held by the Chiss. Qennto agreed, but was further frustrated when Admiral Ar'alani refused to release the treasure. His frustration reached a boiling point after three months' of captivity, when he was left behind at Crustai with Maris while Thrawn took Car'das on another mission, this time to eliminate the Outbound Flight project and the Vagaari. Neither Qennto nor Maris had no idea what was happening, and Car'das later lied and explained that Thrawn had allowed Outbound Flight to escape. They were eventually freed and allowed to return to the Old Republic, where they were able to pay off their debt to Drixo the Hutt and resume their normal smuggling activities. (OF)

Q'et
This creature was bred by the Yuuzhan Vong as a kind of living sac. It was useful for transporting other living entities, such as a villip, which needed to be preserved for later use. (FP)

Qetix IV
This barren moon was located in the Dresscol System of Trax Sector. During the Galactic Civil War, the Alliance established a starfighter repair base on the moon, to support the shipyards in the nearby Ventil System. (GMK)

Qetora, Epo
see Epo Quetora (SWGAL)

Qe'u
This Yuuzhan Vong was one of the Shamed Ones who was sent to Yavin 4 to serve the Shapers who were trying to determine the source of The Force. When Vua Rapuung was believed dead, Qe'u was given his duties. However, Vua Rapuung had faked his death, and later killed Qe'u to gain access to the Yuuzhan Vong complex for himself and Anakin Solo. (EVC)

Qeuo City
This city, located on the planet Stend VI, was beseiged by the Khuiumin Survivors until shortly after the Battle of Yavin, when they simply stopped attacking the city. (SWJ10)

Qexis
This planet, located in the Outer Rim Territories, was almost completely given over to research and experimentation. Qexis was noted for the high level of security that protected the various research facilities established on its surface. (SOJ)

Qexi's
This cantina was located in the frontier settlement of Great Rock, on the planet Ord Mantell, during the height of the New Order. (GMR1, WOA15)

QFC

Qhal
This predator was once native to the Yuuzhan Vong homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar. (FP)

Qiaxx
This planet was the site of Dequc's base on operation. Note that it was often misspelled Quiaax or Quiaac. (MJEH)

Qibbu
This decidedly unattractive Hutt owned and operated Qibbu's Hut, located in the seedier section of Galactic City on Coruscant, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Many years before the Battle of Naboo, Qibbu's life was saved by Kal Skirata, and the Hutt pledged to repay the Mandalorian one day, although he never figured to actually have to pay up. His chance to repay Skirata came about a year after the Battle of Geonosis, when Skirata asked for room, board, and facilities from which he could run an anti-terrorist operaton. Qibbu reluctantly agreed, so long as Skirata's boys didn't destroy the place. (RCTZ)

Qibbu's Hut
This jumbled collection of buildings, including a restaurant, hotel, and bar, was owned and operated by Qibbu the Hutt during the final decades of the Old Republic. Although the facility was deemed marginally hygenic by its patrons, Qibbu made sure that the health inspectors were always well-paid for their continued support of the operation. (RCTZ)

Qid
This name was commonly given to Quarren males, and meant "quick-witted". (GCG)

Qieg
This small, insectoid race was native to the planet Lan Barell. Each Qieg had three body segments, including the head and two abdomens, supported by four legs. The rear set of legs was made for jumping, while the front set were designed for walking. A pair of arms on the upper torso allowed the Qieg to manipulate objects.

A hive society, the Qieg cared little for the individual. Even child were considered parts of the whole, and all offspring were raised regardless of their familial relationships. This mentality gave rise to a society in which every individual was responsible for caring for the rest of the hive, placing the needs of the group before those of the individual.

The Qieg made their homes in warrens of nests that were carved from the hollowed-out carcasses of the succulents that made up the Cacti Forests. Each hive was made up from twenty or more individuals. The Qieg communicated through a series of clicks, chirps, and movements fof their mandibles, as well as by waving their antennae about in certain patterns. Their vocal cords could produce sounds that were not unlike the binary language, and some Qieg could even speak droid binary.

The Qieg were amenable to the original colonization of the planet by humans, some 1,300 years before the Battle of Yavin. They were open to discussions with Gammine Group Incorporated, the mining operation that wanted to harvest the planet's abundance of ores and natural resources. In the following centuries, the Qieg joined the humans in mining the planet's three moons for profit, which later resulted in the destruction of one of the moons. Most of the mining operations came to model their operations after the Qieg society, forming cooperatives rather than trying to be successful as individual corporations.

The Qieg and the humans of Lan Barell worked together to govern their planet. The Guild was established with representatives from both races, in order to ensure that the needs of each society were met. The close relationship that was established led to both races adopting certain aspects of the other. Humans soon learned to communicate their emotions by using their hands, and the Qieg developed special translator masks that converted the clicking of their mandibles into speech. (SWJ1, AE, OWS)

Qiemal
This radical sect of Qiegs, based on the planet Lan Barell, maintained a strong dislike of all humanity, despite the centuires of integration between the two societies. Like the rest of the Qieg civilization, the Qiemal lived within the cactus forests of their homeworld, although they tended to keep to themselves. However, these Qieg maintained their race's deep-seated fear of mammals, such as the dingories that lived on the planet. Thus, when humans arrived on Lan Barell, these Qiegs associated the humans with the dingories, and feared them on sight. These Qieg became the Qiemal, and there were many violent incidents between them and human settlers before the rest of Qieg society allowed humans to establish settlements near more tolerant hives.

The Qiemal continued to exist, however, taking in small numbers of individuals each generation. The modern Qiemal were usually not violent toward humans, and they even maintained a presence in Shulell. However, this presence served only to remind the other Qieg that they had fallen from the old ways, and needed to shrug off the trappings of wealth in order to survive the days when the mines ran dry and could no longer provide a steady income of credits. (SWJ1, OWS)

Qiemo Adrangar
This was one of the smaller Ansionian overclans, made up from the Alwari who lived west of the city of Cuipernam, on the planet Ansion. (APS)

Qiilura
This ostensibly neutral planet saw a great deal of combat during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Qiilura was located in the Tingel Arm of the galaxy, some forty light-years from Ord Mantell, and was orbited by a single moon. Qiilura was a remote world that was best-known for its production of barq and kushayan. The export of these and other luxury foodstuffs accounted for some fifty percent of the entire galactic market, although very little of the profit ever made it back to the farmers. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, the Trade Federation took control of the exports, and used their profits to help fund the Confederacy of Independent Systems. When the Old Republic discovered that Ovolot Qail Uthan, a Separatist-funded scientist, was developing a deadly nanovirus at a facility on the planet, they were forced to launch a mission to Qiilura. The nanovirus was targetted specifically at the clone troopers, and would have given the Separatists a huge advantage. A team of clone commandos, ostensibly led by Jedi Padawan Etain Tur-Mukan, was able to infiltrate the facility and capture Uthan before destroying the nanovirus. The mission was greatly assisted by the help of the native Gurlanin, who refused to fully join the Republic unless the human colonists on the planet were removed, thereby restoring the world to its rightful owners. The evacuation of the humans took place over several battle-filled months, but was eventually completed when the last of the stragglers were shipped off to Kebolar. (RCHC, RCTC)

Qiilura Sector
This sector of the galaxy was located in the Tingel Arm. (RCHC)

Qiiluran
This was a term used to describe the human population of the planet Qiilura, during the final years of the Old Republic. This term angered the native Gurlanin, who believed that the humans were intruders on their homeworld. After the human population of Qiilura was evacuated to Kebolar, as part of an agreement between the Gurlanin and the Old Republic, many of the dishomed humans joined the military forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, if only to spite the efforts of the Old Republic. (RCTC)

Qiiluran
This was the spoken language of the natives of the planet Qiilura. (RCHC)

Qiina
This red-haired woman was one of the many librarians who worked in the Jedi Archives on Coruscant, during the years following the Battle of Ruusan. Master Qiina was on duty when Darovit discovered that his long-lost cousin, Zannah, was in the Archives. She saw them suddenly leave the Archives, then later relayed this information to Lord Valenthyne Farfalla and Johun Othone. She remembered that they left so suddenly that they might have left the volumes they had been reading in their access terminal, providing Farfalla and Othone with the knowledge that the pair was on their way to Tython. (DBRT)

Qilqu
This Bith physician served as Jacen Solo's personal doctor aboard the Anakin Solo, during the height of the Galactic Alliance's conflict with The Confederation. Doctor Qilqu attended to Jacen's injuries after he was attacked by Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, during the assault on the planet Kashyyyk. (LF6)

Qingjao, Jargon
This noted criminal was suspected of ambushing starships of all affiliations in the Naboo System, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWGAL)

Qinx, Mentis
This being owned a series of docking bays in Mos Espa, on the planet Tatooine, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Young Boba Fett, having fled the Battle of Geonosis in his father's starship Slave I, bluffed Qinx and his administrative droid into performing a number of repairs and upgrades to the ship without paying for them up front. (BF4, BF5)

Qipat Firewasp
This fist-sized insect was native to the ancient planet Yuuzhan'tar, the homeworld of the Yuuzhan Vong. (GMR8)

Qiqah, Tih
This elderly Yuuzhan Vong Shaper was in charge of maintaining the Baanu Miir, during the invasion of the New Republic's galaxy. Tih Qiqah died about a year before the Battle of Duro, and had been unable to stop the aging of the worldship using the standard protocols of the Shapers. During his last year of life, Tuh Qiqah demanded a stream of creche-tales be told to him, as his mind slowly degenerated. Suung Aruh, the closest thing Tih Qiqah had to an apprentice, learned little from the old being. (EVR)

Qiraadish
This crisp, peppery root vegetable was grown and harvested by the Qiraash people. (OWS)

Qiraash
This race of near-human beings was distinguished by their large cranial cavities. (CCG, CN2)

Qixoni
This rare and exotic gemstone was a crystal that was formed during a supernova that occurred many millennia before the Great Sith War. The heat and energy of the exploding star caused metals and minerals in one of its orbiting planets to become fused into the Qixonui crystal, which was then blasted into space when the planet was destroyed. Those few Qixoni crystals that were obtained by the Jedi Order were discovered to make powerful lightsaber focusing crystals, although most of these crystals were lost in the wake of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR2)

Qiyn, Khaat
This female Jedi Knight, a student of the Form V technique of lightsaber combat, was one of the 200 Jedi dispatched to Geonosis to locate Obi-Wan Kenobi and discover what was happening on the planet. She later fought in the Battle of Geonosis. (IWE2, CHRN2)

QL-2a
This speeder truck was developed and manufactured by Ubrikkian Industries, during the height of the New Order. It could carry a pilot and two passengers, and could accommodate up to 50 metric tons of cargo. It measured twelve meters in length. (GMR5)

Qlaeren
This was one of the many Vratix hives which lived on the planet Thyferra. (UANT)

Qlothos
This cloudy, defenseless world was inadvertently attacked by a squadron of TIE Bombers dispatched from the Interrogator by Senios Lieutenant Leeds, a subordinate of Captain Jovan Vharing aboard the ship, during the early months of the New Republic. Vharing himself had been asleep, but that did not relieve him of the fact that the misplaced raid resulted in the death of sixty people, including a high-ranking Kuat Drive Yards engineer and his family, who had been on vacation at the time. Vharing was executed for the error. (TFNR, OWS)

Q'Maere
This planet was located just inside the Kathol Rift, a short distance from Danoor. Of course, actually reaching Q'Maere took a skilled crew more than a week's time. The planet was the site of a scientific outpost established by the University of Sanbra. The crew of the FarStar made a run for Q'Maere, shortly after entering the Rift, when they discovered that the food stores they had obtained at Danoor were contaminated. The planet itself was an inhospitable world covered with ammonia seas, which were sparsely dotted with volcanic islands. The atmosphere was poisonous, and there was no known life on the planet. The average day on Q'Maere lasted 36 hours, and its year encompassed 344 local days. (KR)

Q'Maere Research Facility
This University of Sanbra planetology research outpost was established on the planet Q'Maere, where it could investigate the workings of a planet covered with ammonia seas. The station was covertly turned into a penal facility by Moff Sarne, shortly after a group of its scientists left ot join the Qektoth Confederacy. When it was discovered by the crew of the FarStar during a stopover to obtain supplies, the facility was operating as a cross between a prison and a mental institution. (KR)

Q'mai
This was the Kamarian word for "offering." It was used in reference to any form of payment given to exchange for mak-tk-klp. During the early years of the New Order, Han Solo thought it meant "admission," since the Kamarians used it to describe the trinkets and gems they gave him in return for showing the holofeature Varn, World of Water. He discovered the word's true meaning when he tried to show Love was Waiting instead, and the Kamarian Badlanders tore down his holoprojector and forced him to flee the planet. (HSR)

Q'mara
This planet and its surrounding star system was known as a haven for pirates during the New Order. (GUN)

Q'nithian Aeropteryx
This was a species of sentient avians from the Q'nithian System. They were quite ugly in appearance, being covered with dingy gray feathers and equally gray skin. Their wings were useless, rendering the aeropteryx flightless, and its small legs were incapable of supporting their bodies. Thus, the aeropteryx must drag itself forward with the tips of its wings. The tips end with a small hand that it tipped with a pair of talons. Their two beady, black eyes provide minimal ability to actually see what's around them. Thus, many aeropteryx who travel the galaxy have specialized lenses to augment their natural sight. (MA)

Qogo
This amber-colored gas giant was locked in a mutual orbit with the world of Uluq, deep in the Transitory Mists. The two worlds orbited a common point that was located in The Throat. (LF9)

Q'ojo
This region of the planet Sriluur was noted for its unusual idols, which seemed to be part of the ruins of an earlier civilization. (GORW)

Qol, Viran
This man was a Major in the Alliance's Special Forces unit, and was an expert on Imperial fortification engineering. A native of Niran, he graduated from college just day before the Empire subjugated the planet. Viran joined the Niran Resistance, which was eventually absorbed into the Alliance. Viran regularly lectured on the construction and defense of Imperial garrisons to new recruits. (SWJ12)

Qolaraloq
This was the name used by the members of the Colony to describe Centerpoint Station. (DN1)

Qom Jha
This was one of two major factions of the winged creatures native to the caves of Nirauan. Like their brethren the Qom Qae, they resemble meter-tall avians with smooth skin and small heads. They have dark eyes that allow them to see in the dark, and hard talons that allow them to grip the stone of their lairs. The Qom Jha had lighter skin than the Qom Qae, and were slightly larger in size. They have a minor control of the Force, and can use it to telepathically communicate among themselves and with other Force-sensitives. The Qom Jha, however, live in the caves, while the Qom Qae live in the open air. They referred to Luke Skywalker as "Walker of Sky." (VOF, EGA)

Qom Qae
This was one of two major factions of the winged creatures native to the caves of Nirauan. Like their brethren the Qom Jha, they resemble meter-tall avians with smooth skin and small heads. They have dark eyes that allow them to see in the dark, and hard talons that allow them to grip the stone of their lairs. The Qom Qae were smaller in size, and had darker skin that the Qom Jha. They have a minor control of the Force, and can use it to telepathically communicate among themselves and with other Force-sensitives. However, the Qom Qae live in the open air of the planet, while the Qom Jha inhabit the caves. The adults were quite territorial, but they allowed the young to freely mix with other nestings. This was probably a way for them to gather information about other nestings without violating territorial boundaries. They referred to Luke Skywalker as "Jedi Sky Walker." (VOF, EGA)

Qonto
An alien race. (RM)

Qordis
This ancient Sith Lord was one of the many members of the Brotherhood of Darkness, serving under Lord Kaan a millennia before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. A tall, thin man, Lord Qordis had been part of the command structure put in place by Lord Kaan, serving alongside master Kopecz as Lord Kaan's chief advisors. Many within the Brotherhood questioned Qordis' origins, for although he appeared human, his teeth were sharp and pointed, and his fingernails were more like curved talons. What was known for certain was that Qordis preferred to surround himself with opulence and pleasure, from which he derived a great sense of power.

Where Kopecz was more of a military advisor, Qordis was placed in charge of the Sith training academy on Korriban, where he was charged with creating the next generation of Sith Lords. Thus, he was garrulous when Kopecz returned from the fighting and told Qordis to train the name known as Dessel. Qordis suspected a plot, but was forced to see that Kopecz truly believed him to be the Sith'ari. Qordis had his own plans, though, and forbade every instructor at the Sith Academy from teaching Bane, after the student seemed to lose his will to continue.

Unknown to the rest of the Brotherhood of Darkness, Qordis began embezzling credits from the combined wealth of the Sith Lords, hiding it away in secret bank accounts on Muunilinst and Aargau under the alias of Lord Eddels. Qordis used these stolen credits to purchase a treasure trove of artworks and relics, including several Sith artifacts that even Lord Kaan did not know about.

When Bane emerged from several trials as Darth Bane, Qordis tried to join forces with Bane, recognizing that the Sith Lord had the power to wipe out the Brotherhood of Darkness. Although many historians believed that Qordis died in the explosion of the thought bomb that ended the Battle of Ruusan, it was later discovered that Darth Bane had killed him, squeezing the life from Qordis with the Force.

Qordis later appeared to Darth Bane as a spirit avatar aboard the Valcyn, shortly after the end of the Battle of Ruusan. Bane had stolen the ship and, based on Qordis' notes, set a course for the moon Dxun, where he hoped to find the tomb of Freedon Nadd. Qordis belittled Bane and called him a coward for having survived the detonation of Lord Kaan's thought bomb. Darth Bane refused to be baited by Qordis' spirit, but the unending verbal abuse eventually got under Bane's skin. He drew upon the Dark Side of the Force to banish Qordis, blasting the spirit with a wave of energy. Although Qordis disappeared, the blast severely damaged the Valcyn, shortly before it arrived on Dxun.

Darth Bane managed to set the craft down, barely surviving the crashlanding. Qordis and Kaan then reappeared at Freedon Nadd's tomb, luring Bane into its depths in order to trap him with a horde of orbalisks. However, like he had in many other trials, Darth Bane emerged stronger and more powerful for having survived the incident. (GMR3, DBPD, DBRT)

Qoribu
This ringed gas giant was located in the Gyuel System of the Unknown Regions, near the borders of Chiss space. Qoribu was orbited by more than fifty moons, and at least six of them were inhabitable. It was in the months following the Crash that the Colony expanded to Qoribu and its moons, and this expansion caused the neighboring Chiss to begin military actions to stop it. Although the Chiss refused to attack first, they took subtle measures to destroy the hives at Qoribu, such as blanketing a moon with defoliating chemicals in order to starve the hive into leaving. (DN1)

Qoribu Crisis
This was the term used by the Galactic Alliance to describe the events that surrounded the initial expansion of the Colony onto various moons in orbit around the planet Qoribu. Driven by the unconscious influence of the Gorog hive, the Colony began to expand closer to Chiss space, creating friction between their two civilizations and nearly starting a massive war. With the intervention of the new Jedi Order and the acceptance of the Galactic Alliance, the Colony agreed to abandon their hives on the Qoribu moons and relocate to Woteba and other planets that were hidden within the Utetegu Nebula. The Qoribu Crisis was believed to have been resolved when Welk was killed by Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, an event that supposedly marked the end of the Dark Nest. However, about a year later, the Gorog had reasserted their control over the Colony, causing a new set of challenges for the Alliance. (DN2)

Qoribu Truce
This was the name given to the cessation of hostilities between the Colony and the Chiss, after UnuThul and his Killiks tried to expand beyond their previous borders. The truce called for all nests of the Colony to be relocated to planets within the Utegetu Nebula, where they could exist without encroaching on the territories of other races. The Killiks were also forbidden from any further contact with the Chiss, especially after it was discovered that the larvae of the Gorog nest were feeding on Chiss captives. The Chiss declared that the Qoribu Truce had been broken by the Colony about a year later, when fifteen nest ships commanded by UnuThul tried to escape from the Utegetu Nebula. The Gorog nest ship and ten others were captured, but UnuThul's frigate and four nest ships managed to escape. (DN2)

Qorih
This lowly creature was once native to the Yuuzhan Vong homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar. It was considered a low form of life, lacking any sort of predatory instincts or usefulness. (FP)

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

Qorl
An Imperial TIE Fighter pilot who fought in the Battle of Yavin, Qorl was caught in X-Wing defensive fire and forced to crash-land on Yavin 4. Badly injured, he managed to survive there for over twenty years, until he was discovered by Jacen Solo. Qorl held the Solo twins hostage until they repaired his ship, which he took. Employing the hyperdrive installed by Jaina Solo, Qorl left the Yavin System. Qorl then joined the Second Imperium and served as a pilot and trainer aboard the Shadow Academy. His damaged body was repaired with cybernetic implants, including his entire left arm. He successfully captured the Adamant and obtained valuable hyperdrive cores, turbolasers, and shield codes for the Imperium's fleet. In the climactic battle between the Shadow Academy and the Jedi on Yavin 4, Qorl was again shot down by the New Republic fleet. He was presumed dead, but decided that he'd had enough of galactic conflicts and remained a hermit in the jungles of Yavin 4. Qorl reappeared two years later, when the Peace Brigade tried to capture the students at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. Aging but still fiesty, Qorl had finally given up the fight to preserve the Empire, and helped Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila escape the moon by keeping an eye on Remis Vehn and remaining near the moon until the last possible moment. (HTF, SA, L, JUS, EVC)

Qormot
Alternately known as the most docile and the most fearsome forest animal on the planet Yeshocq, the qormot was merely reacting to seasonal changes in its environment. During the warm months of spring and summer, they were peaceful herbivores which fought only to defend themselves from other predators. However, as the weather turned colder and mating season approached, they became territorial about their prospective mates. Competition for the best mates almost always resulted in fierce battles, and beings were warned to stay away from qormot territory during this time. Qormots resembled large, ovine beasts, with stout bodies and a series of spiked frills surrounding their heads. Each qormot had a single eye, located atop a long, bony snout. (COG)

Qorn
This was a common name used by the Geonosian race. (UANT)

Qornah
This Jedi Master was known to have trained Kibh Jeen, more than 180 years before the Battle of Yavin. Together, they were part of the team dispatched by the Jedi Council to investigate dark-side energy which permeated the planet Almas. Unfortunately, Qornah was unprepared for the Dark Side's assault on Kibh Jeen's mind. Upon landing on Almas, Qornah was cut down from behind by his own apprentice and killed before any investigation could take place. (LFC, EGF)

Qotile
This planet was ravaged by war during the Stark Hyperspace Conflict. When a military deserter fled to Qotile and established himself as King, during the height of the Galactic Civil War, the bounty hunter Bossk was employed to eliminate him. For his efforts, Bossk was given the honorary title "Monarch of the Qotile System." (NEGC, MC67)

Qretu 5
This planet, ringed by a dense asteroid belt, was the site of bacta production facility Q5A7. (BW)

Qrikki
A sweet, bread-like substance produced by the Ssi-ruuk. (TBSB)

Qrrulla
This was a common name among the Togorian race. (UANT)

Qrygg, Ooryl
This Gand was a member of the X-Wing group Rogue Squadron. He was Corran Horn's wingman for much of his time with the Rogues, and was a distinguished member of their group. He survived several battles in which he was nearly shot down, and his breathing apparatus helped him avoid the Krytos plague. His ability to defeat his enemies drew the interest of Vviir Wiamdi and the ruetsavii shortly before the Battle of Thyferra. Vviir and two others flew with the Rogues to witness Ooryl's abilities and to criticize them, if possible. When they all survived the battle which ended the Bacta War, Vviir and his companions deemed Ooryl janwuine, and invited all of Rogue Squadron to Gand as hinwuine. Ooryl was soon after initiated into the ranks of Gand Findsman, although he maintained his standing with the Rogues throughout the battles with Grand Admiral Thrawn and Leonira Tavira. (XWN, BW, IJ)

QS100
An automated welding arm. This automaton was named for the robotic device that Dark Forces lead programmer Ray Gresko programmed in a previous assignment. (DF)

QS-2D
This heavily-modified administrative droid was owned by a pair of Twi'leks who tried to scout the moon of Uffel. When the Twi'leks were killed, QS-2D and his R4-series astromech companions R4-S2 and R4-J9 persevered, surveying the planet and starting up a small mining operation with the automata the Twi'leks had brought. Over time, QS-2D established a relationship with Riboga the Hutt, and the mining operatiosn expanded quickly. All during this time, QS-2D continued to work under its former master's name, so as not to draw attention to itself. When QS-2D had built a small fortune, it bought out Riboga and took ownership of Uffel outright. QS-2D grew the Uffel mining operation into a droid manufacturing center, and produced some of the Old Republic's highest-quality specialty droids. (LFC)

Q-series Destroyer Droid
This was the official designation of the second generation of droidekas, or destroyer droids, produced by the Colicoid Creation Nest for the Trade Federation. These units were distinguished from the P-series destroyer droid by their angular head and limbs, which provided added strength but took away from the organic appearance of the P-series units. (TCG10)

Q-Ship
This was a common term used by paramilitary forces to describe any starship that was independently owned but met military specifications for weapons and defenses. These vessels were often leased to merchant fleets and small corporations who needed an escort to protect their convoys from attackss and ambushes by pirates. (SSOG)

Q-Signal
This was the brand name of Incom's automated messenger droid, developed for use by the fledgeling New Republic. Measuring 6.2 meters in length, these drones were equipped with hyperdrives in order to get messages from one location to another as quickly as possible. The Q-Signal could carry up to 800 kilograms of cargo, which could include datacards and computer cores. (DARK)

QT-3PO
This protocol droid was captured by Jawas on Tatooine, when its master's ship put down at Mos Eisley spaceport for repairs, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. QT-3PO grew bored while waiting, and decided to explore the spaceport environs. A group of Jawas offered to help, then captured the droid and fled the scene. QT-3PO was then stuck inside the Jawas' sandcrawler for an extended period of time before being rescued, and suffered all sorts of damage while being bounced around. QT-3PO was present in the sandcrawler when the Jawas captured R2-D2 and C-3PO, and later wrote a description of the time it spent inside the sandcrawler, including the few tidbits about Jawa culture that it was able to glean from observations. (SWSB, E4VG, OWS)

QT-7
This droid appeared to be nothing more than a large, high-tech suitcase. A cheerful droid that loved to play sabacc, QT-7 was instrumental in helping the Alliance recover the Black Ice. QT-7 was able to tap into the Imperial computer system on Lotide and recover coded files that detailed the actions of replenishment fleet DV-209. This information allowed the Alliance to intercept the Black Ice and steal its cargo of fuel cells. (BI)

Qu, Anistia
This woman, a native of the planet Cularin, was one of several hundred natives who disappeared from public view during the years following the onset of the Clone Wars. Many people secretly attributed these disappearances to the Thaereian Military, which spent the nighttime hours removing an vocal opponents to its control of the Cularin System. (LFCW)

Qua
This Chancellor of the Zenox Star Cluster was also an Imperial supporter. He attended the 13th Imperial Diplomatic Conclave on Phelarion. (CSWEA)

Qua, Dezono
This obese man was tracked by Dass Jennir, in the wake of the Clone Wars, when it was learned that he had purchased the young Nosaurian female, Resa Greenbark. Qua was a regular customer of Orso Meeto's slave market on Orvax IV, and purchased a new youngling on an almost regular schedule. Jennir tracked him to his base on Esseles, with the assistance of Bomo Greenbark and the crew of the Uhumele, after learning of the purchase from Orso Meeto. The son of a wealthy family, Qua wanted for nothing, so it was with some trepidation that Jennir and Greenbark approached his complex in Calamar. They used force to enter the complex, then confronted Qua in his chambers. There, Qua admitted that he had purchased Resa Greenbark, but that she was already dead. When pressed further, Qua revealed that Resa had been killed for the same reason as all the other children he had purchased: she had been killed so that her body could be processed as a source of food. Before Bomo could shoot Qua, Jennir drew his own blaster and shot Qua several times in the chest, killing him instantly in retribution for his disgusting acts. (DT1)

Qua, Tili
This diminutive Chadra-Fan was one of the handful of Jedi Masters who survived the Massacre at Ossus and eventually made their way to the Hidden Temple on Taivas. Master Qua served as one of the members of the makeshift Jedi Council that led the survivors who gathered in the Hidden Temple, serving with Masters K'Kruhk and T'ra Saa. When Princess Marasiah Fel and a delegation of Imperial Knights arrived at the Hidden Temple to discuss an alliance between the New Empire and the surviving Jedi, Master Qua openly questioned the sincerity of the offer, reminding the Princess of her father's role in the decimation of the Jedi Order at the hands of Darth Krayt. As the Jedi Masters gathered in private to discuss the situation, Master Qua feared that the surviving Jedi were too few, even when grouped with the Imperial Knights, to do anything about Darth Krayt's rule of the galaxy. Master Qua refused to take any apprentices into account, since they were not ready for combat against fully-trained Sith warriors.

Ultimately, the gathered Jedi Masters agreed to pursue an alliance with Emperor Roan Fel, but they refused to support any form of direct attack on Darth Krayt. Master Tili Qua advocated a wait-and-see approach, hoping that the New Sith Order would tear itself apart, as Cade hinted it might. (SWLHT)

Quaad
This given name was common human males across the galaxy. (GCG)

Quaal
This was the last of seven seasons experienced on the planet Guiteica. (AE)

Quad 32PCX
This was a four-chambered fuel injector used on pod racers and other high-speed ground craft. (RAC)

Quad 44
This was a four-chambered fuel injector used on pod racers and other high-speed ground craft. (RAC)

Quadanium
This naturally-occurring alloy ore was the primary component in the creation of quadanium steel. (DSTR)

Quadanium Steel
This dense, strong alloy of steel used in starship hulls. It found widespread use among the various models of Imperial TIE Fighters, since it provided such unshielded small fighters with added protection. Quadanium steel plating was also used to form the outer hull of the first Death Star. This alloy was created by mixing certain ores and raw materials in a masticator or other crushing device, then adding water and quadanium to form a loose slurry. This slurry was then forced into high-pressure pipelines and sent to a smelting facility, where it was refined under intense heat, melting the various components and buring off any impurities. This process resulted in raw quadanium steel, which was then extruded into plates, and leftover slag, which was ejected into the nearest star for disposal. (SCRE, TSC, DSTR)

Quadex
This corporation manufactured high-output power cores for Imperial starships. Note that the name was sometimes misspelled as Quadrex. (SCRE, SL, CPL)

Quad-helix Prismatic Crystal
Specially-modified crystals that were used in laser cannons to generate the weapon's laser beam. (SWSB)

Quadinaros, Ben
This flat-bodied Toong was one of the Outer Rim's least-experienced podracer pilots. He drove a lumbering, Balta-Trabaat BT410 Quadra-Pod podracer that was propelled by four engines, instead of the usual two. Quadinaros and his extended family fled their homeworld of Toong'l after the planetary environment was destroyed by two comet strikes. They lived on Tund for a short period before arriving on Tatooine shortly before the Battle of Naboo. Ben entered the Boonta Eve Classic podracer on a bet from Boles Roor, who wagered five million wupiupi that Ben was too scared to even bring his racer to the starting line. Just after the start of the race, which was won by Anakin Skywalker, the energy binders on Ben's pod were unable to take the strain of controlling the four engines. They let loose, and the four engines flew off in separate directions, leaving Ben unable to compete. Despite this set-back, Ben came out of the race five million wupiupi richer, after winning the bet with Boles. Note that the Official Star Wars Website (http://www.starwars.com) claims that the bet was in peggats, not wupiupi. (E1, IS1, IG1, PRT, OWS, NEGC)

Quad-laser Cannons
A ship-mounted battery of four laser cannons which fire two at a time. They were usually fired by gunmen controlling the weapons from a free-moving command chair. They can also be fired remotely. Han Solo installed two such batteries - AG-2G lasers, one on top and one below - on the Millenium Falcon. (E4, RASB)

Quad-Lo
This diminutive alien worked aboard the Bazarre space station, buying and selling anything he could get his hands on, including slaves. (LTA5, MC59)

Quad-pod Droid
This was a form of Jawa-built "ugly droid" that was built to move variable cargoes from one location to another. These units were often equipped with heavy scoops and gripper arms, and they moved about on four mismatched legs. (NEGD)

Quadranium
This incredbily strong and durable element was used in the manufacture of starship fuel tanks, and could be honed to create a makeshift blade if necessary. (FOP, KOTOR2)

Quadrant
This game of strategy and skill was popular during the early days of the Imperial Academy, but lost some of its appeal during the height of the New Order. After the Battle of Endor, it once again became popular with Imperial officers. (IF)

Quadrant J-12
This was one of the many sectors of Galactic City, on the planet Coruscant. (RC66)

Quadrant Q-1
This was one of the many residential sectors of Imperial City, located on the planet Coruscant. (CN2)

Quadrant Seven
This race of humanoid beings was native to the planet Quadrant Seven. They were shorter than the average human, with pointed ears and a collection of fine antennae on their heads that looked like hair. The antennae were used to "read" the wind and other disturbances in the air. As a people, the Quadrant Seven race refrained from adopting high-technology, and even went so far as to use a BlocNet to eliminate comlink communications during the final decades of the Old Republic. Their rationale was simply that comlinks made distances smaller and problems bigger. They prided themselves on the fact that the last war on Quadrant Seven occurred more than 570 years before the onset of the Clone Wars, and that the environment of Quadrant Seven wasn't polluted with toxic wastes and industrial refuse. (SOJ)

Quadrant Seven
This planet was located beyond the borders of the Old Republic, during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. It was a temperate world that supported a race of humanoid beings, also known as Quadrant Sevens. Much of the planet was pristine, natural land, and the Quadrant Sevens worked hard to maintain the ecosystem. (SOJ)

Quadra-Pod
This was a type of podracer, distinguishable by its four turbine engines. This configuration places a high level of emphasis on the energy binders that keep the engines in place, as most stock binders were designed to support just two engines. Under the heavy strain of a podrace, the energy binders of the Quadra-Pod configuration sometimes give way, releasing the engines to fly off in different directions. (E1N)

Quadrenium
This precious ore was mined on the planet Averill during the New Order, and was refined for use in the construction of starships. (SWJ13)

Quadrex
see Quadex (SCRE)

Quadri
This was one of the sectors of the northern half of the city of Zehava, and was inhabited by the Daan some twenty years before the Battle of Naboo. (UP)

Quadrijet 4Barrel 904E
see Quadrijet 4Barrel 940E (NEGC)

Quadrijet 4Barrel 940E
This was a model of podracer manufactured by Bin Gassi Racing Engines. It was famous for its massi, spherical engines and its elongated cockpit. The cockpit itself measured 6.86 meters in length, and the engines measured 7.39 meters across. It was capable of achieving speeds in excess of 790 kilometers per hour. (IG1)

Quadrijet Air Brake
This was the most powerful air brake available to pod racers, employing four reverse-thrust jets to increasing stopping power. (RAC)

Quadrillium
This mineral was found in abundance in many asteroids, including the Tava Yagen field. (CTD)

Quadrisphere
This was the term used to describe one quarter of the original Death Star. The entire space station was divided into two hemispheres, denoted as north and south, by the main equatorial trench. Each hemisphere was divided into two quadrispheres, denoted as east and west. (DSTR)

Quadro
This boxy musical instrument produced a wide range of deep, thrumming notes. (MBS)

Quadronomic Fluxer
This starship drive component was rumored to have the ability to provide an incredible boost of power to virtually any standard drive system. While the quadronomic fluxer had no effect on a starship's hyperdrive, it was believed to have the capability to improve a sublight drive's speed by twenty percent or more. Shortly after the onset of the Galactic Civil War, the plans for the Fluxer were put up for auction by the Nessemites, who hoped to sell them at a great profit. Before the auction could take place, however, the plans for the fluxer were stolen by the Transdoshan mercenary Ssorku. His theft was surmised by a team of Alliance operatives, who cornered him in the Starbirth Lounge and recovered the plans. However, the device was never built by the Alliance. (WOA12)

Quadrux
This term from the Bocce language was a generic term that referred to a sector of the galaxy. (GPB)

QuadStar
This was the name of Solomahal's modified YV-888 freighter. (WOA34)

Quaensan Prime
This planet was wiped out by the Lortans during the Reslian Purge. (GG12)

Quaestor
This Old Republic Star Battlecruiser was one of the many ships that participated in the early stages of the Clone Wars. However, during a mission to the Quarren-held planet of Pammant, the Captain of the Quaestor brought the ship out of hyperspace too late. Instead of arriving in open space, the ship reverted to realspace within the crust of the planet. The resuling explosion of the Quaestor's reactor core set off an intense, nuclear detonation, fracturing the planet to its core and bathing it in radioactivity. (X3)

Quaffug
This long-limbed Hutt once lost a fortune to Lando Calrissian, including the rights to the Ceramo-Werx facility, during a sabacc match at the Rafa Chabalrussa, during the early years of the New Order. Quaffug maintained a grudge against Calrissian for many years, retiring to the Blimph System in order to restore his criminal empire from scratch. When the Alliance chose Lando to negotiate a treaty with Quaffug, the Hutt had Lando imprisoned and subjected to the Duff-Jikab. Quaffug hired Bossk, Denger, 4-LOM, and Guchluk to hunt down Lando, but they were unprepared when the gambler befriended the native Jokhalli warriors. The four bounty hunters were quickly captured and returned to Quaffug, who was forced to return control of Blimph 3 to the Jokhalli, in return for Lando's not turning him over to the natives. Lando also demanded membership in the Hutt Guardsman's Guild, and Quaffug was again forced to accede. Lando later used this membership to infiltrate Jabba the Hutt's fortress on Tatooine, under the guise of Tamtel Skreej. (BHSW)

Quagga
This Wookiee was 210 years old at the time of the Battle of Endor. He was known for his skills in restoring vintage starships and vehicles, and tried to establish his own business on the outskirts of Mos Eisley. However, his remote location, his exhorbitant prices, and pesky Jawas kept him from making a decent living. In order to pay his bills and try to get ahead, Quagga was forced to enter Jabba the Hutt's series of demolition derbies, flying his beautifully-restored Trade Federation AAT repulsortank into battle against a variety of contestants. (SWD)

Quagga's Garage
This starship restoration and repair operation was owned by the Wookiee Quagga, and was located on the planet Tatooine during the early years of the New Republic. (NEGW)

Quaghen
This creature was native to the planet Tzarib. They travel in slow-moving swarms, and were easy to capture. (CSWEA)

Quagmire, The
This was the nickname of the Alliance's DVL-181 outpost. (HAS)

Quake Years
This was a term used by some historians to describe the two hundred years that followed the Great Hyperspace War, referring to the tremors that shook up the galaxy as it recovered from the Old Republic's hard-fought victory against the Sith Empire. (OWS)

Quald Runium
This valuable ore was often found in meteors. (HFAS)

Qualdex
This small corporation produced a wide range of starship drive systems, during the height of the New Order. Could this simply be typgraphical error, and really be Quadex? (SWG2P)

This document was produced by the Alliance Starfighter Command unit, as an introductory source of information for any being who had aspirations of becoming a starfighter pilot. (XWP)

Quality Electronics of Torina
This small corporation, based on the planet Torina, was known for its cheap imitations of modern galactic technology. (PG3)

Quality of Family Certificate
This Imperial document provided information about a potential officer's family history, including any Imperial military service. For most officers, the QFC was a validation of their abilities. For those potential officers who failed to score highly on the Standard Officer's Intelligence Test, it allowed them to receive a seceond chance at becoming an officer. (FC)

Qualo
This native of Arda-2 was one of the governmental leaders of the city Tun Wala. (CSWEA)

Qualtrough
This planet was locked in an intense civil war when it was first discovered by the Jedi Knights traveling aboard the Chu'unthor, many centuries before the Battle of Yavin. The Jedi were able to negotiate a truce, allowing the natives of Qualtrough to join the Old Republic. This was one of many events which served to promote the mission of the Chu'unthor. (PJSB)

Quamar Messenger
This luxury liner was moved out of drydock and put into service several years before the onset of the Clone Wars. It was crewed by 45 people serving up to 600 passengers, and was equipped with a hyperdrive. On its maiden run, however, the Quamar Messenger was single-handedly hijacked by Gallandro. (HSL, CSA)

Quambah
This physical game was played by the children of the planet Vernet. (SWJ15)

Quamilla
This Orfite word was used to describe two or more quamin. (POT, GAL8, TOD)

Quamin
Native to the jungles of Kidron, these flying predators were silent and aggressive. In the Orfite language, the plural form was quamilla. Swarms of quamin attack in packs, making a series of small attacks on larger creatures which open small wounds on their prey's skin. These creatures then latch onto their prey and suck out the blood and other vital fluids, eventually killing the larger prey. The favored prey of the quamilla was the sodbeast. The average quamin was nearly two meters in length, and had hollow bones supporting its body. Its leathery wings were edged with razor-sharp hooks, and their spiked tail was often used as a weapon. Their faces were actually a collection of sponge-like organs which were used to suck the bodily fluids from their prey. (POT, TOD, COG)

Quammo
This Sludir worked as Guttu the Hutt's majordomo during the height of the New Order. (SWJ15)

Quandary
This tramp freighter transported Tinian I'att and her companions from Ksiczzic III, after they had fled from Imperial forces on Druckenwell. (SWJ6)

Quanic, Rani
This Sullustan female was the leader of the gang which stole a shipment of meleenium from the Qua'Tahc mines, on Af'El, during the early years of the New Republic. The group's actions earned them the ire of Mihalik, who vowed to bring the thieves to justice by himself. Rani and her partner, Ostan Atur, worked from a base hidden in the Minos Cluster. Rani was, at one time, a pilot who flew the Ison Corridor for a legitimate shipping outfit, but she soon discovered that running spice was a more profitable endeavor. She worked with Chordak for many years before setting out on her own, and was captured and imprisoned on Sullust for her criminal activities. She was pardoned by Sin Suub himself, but only on the condition that she work for SoroSuub as an undercover agent, disrupting Alliance supply convoys without attracting Imperial attention. After the Battle of Endor, she fled to the Minos Cluster and met up with Ostan Atur through a mutual friend, the Reigat Talak. Rani and Ostan traveled in Rani's modified freighter, the Lathien Leth. (SWJ10)

Quannith
This Imperial Governor was in charge of the planet Siluria III until he was attacked and killed by the resistance led by Kaiya Adrimetrum. (GG9)

This bounty hunter started out life as a street rat from Lopor Station. He had a strong sense of family, and was known to be cool under pressure. (GG10)

Quanta-technology
This ancient, but not understood, technology was developed by the Gree race at the height of their civilization. (SWJ8)

Quantill City
This was the largest city of the planet Ando, and was one of the few situated on solid land. The environs of the city were clearly divided into Aquala areas and Quara areas. (SWJ11)

Quanto
A large alien with a squarish body and thin legs, he appears to have a hard, ivory-colored exoskeleton. He worked with Gudb and Rek for the Stenness system's local Hutt crimelord, Bogga, but was killed by Nomi Sunrider following their attack on her husband, Andur. (TOJ)

Quanton
Airen Cracken was subjected to Imperial interrogation under the influence of Bavo Six, after being captured on this planet during the Galactic Civil War. (CFG)

Quantrax Creek
A fertile farm area located on the planet Makthierse. (COG)

Quantum Armor
This form of starship armor was noted for its incredibly strength and durability. (DIV)

Quantum Cleansing
This was considered the most thorough, effective, and expensive methods of wiping a droid's memory banks. (CN3)

Quantum Computer
This was a type of powerful computer system that was developed during the final years of the Old Republic. (DSTR)

Quantum Coupler
This technology connected power conduits in the internal systems of a droid, ensuring that quantum energy was passed from system to system as needed. (CN1)

Quantum Crystal
A frozen form of crystal which emits strong energy in the form of X-radiation. Often these were small crystals with specific applications. The smaller of the two stars that formed the Crseih system was condensed into a huge quantum crystal. Its energy emissions were so strong that they eventually warped the very fabric of the Force. This, when combined with the suffering induced by Hethrir in the prisons on Crseih Station, caused the being Waru to be pulled into the galaxy. (CS)

Quantum Fiber
Developed some twenty years after the Battle of Endor, this material was used to create blast-proof vests and armor. It was later combined with molytex to create laminanium armor. (SBS)

Quantum RAM
Developed by the Empire, this form of random-access memory was used in the most sophisticated droids. It employed near-molecular storage systems, allowing for nearly immediate access to information and cycles. (AFA)

Quantum Storm
This Gallofree Yards medium transport ship was the first Alliance cargo ship to successfully escape the Battle of Hoth. Its flight proved the worth of the v-150 ion cannon, as a single blast from the cannon incapacitated an Imperial-class Star Destroyer and allowed other transports to leave with minimal escort. (E5R, SWTJ)

Quantum-crystalline Armor
This was the name given to the type of armor developed at the Maw Installation, and used to shield the Sun Crusher. Quantum-crystalline armor was made by layering just a few densely-stacked atoms on top of each other, with these layers being laminated onto a phase-shifted layer of another thin film. The individual layers were packed as close together as modern physics would allow, creating a form of armor that was nearly indestructible. Special molding and construction techniques were developed to create armor plates that could be attached to the Sun Crusher, without any bolt holes or seams creating penetrable gaps. When viewed by the eyes of most humanoids, the quantum-crystalline armor appeared to shimmer with whirls of color, similar to a drop of oil on the surface of the water. (JS)

Quantum-resolution Generation Device
An extremely expensive food generation system, it can create any food matter from a basic bulk matter. (SS)

Quanya
This was a potent liquor which was popular among smugglers during the early years of the New Order. (T16)

Quar Rat
This vicious creature was considered a pest in the sewers of Barancar Port. (SWJ8)

Quara
One of two primary subspecies of Aqualish living on the planet Ando, the Quara evolved to live on the planet's small islands. The Quara were also known as the fingered Aqualish, since they had fingers on their hands, instead of the paddle-like fins of the Aquala. While they made up just ten percent of the Aqualish population, the Quara considered themselves higher socially and genetically, eventually moving out of the water to live on the smaller islands and in the swamps of Ando. The Aquala claimed that the Quara were responsible for the gradual decline in the fish population of Ando's oceans, and started a civil war that lasted several generations. The war was ended when an exploration vessel of unknown origins landed on Ando, and the two sides stopped fighting each other and joined together to destroy the visitors. The two groups then worked together to reverse-engineer the visitors' ship, eventually discovering how to fly it. This series of events provided the Aqualish with the ability to build their own ships, although the process was painstakingly slow for the non-technical Aqualish. The uneasy truce was soon broken, and the two groups took their battle to Ando's sister planet, utterly destroying it. The two sides were joined once more when the Old Republic discovered Ando, but they were soundly defeated the more advanced forces of the Republic. (GG4, NEGA)

Quarantine
This was the name used by the Outbound Flight Colony to describe the makeshift prison they established in the remains of Outbound Flight's D-Six Dreadnaught. Chak Fel and the Aurek-Seven unit of the Imperial 501st Legion discovered that the Quarantine wasn't set aside for criminals, but actually for those children and descendents of the Survivors who manifested any sort of connection to the Force. These individuals were first held in Quarantine until the Outbound Flight Colony was convinced of the strength of their connection. If true powers were demonstrated by an individual, they were incarcerated in the D-Three Dreadnaught, which was all but impossible to reach. (SQ)

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

Quarg
This fat governor of the planet Drexel One commanded a huge ship that operated in the oceans of the planet, making war against the sea-dragons and their Dragon Lord masters. Quarg was eventually unseated by Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. His father was the former Governor of the Korteen Asteroid Belt, who hated the Old Republic for snooping into his business. Quarg's father fled to the Drexel System when the Old Republic interrupted his "mining activities", which were actually piratical ambushes of cargo ships. His father had been using sonic jammers to wreck ships near the belt and salvage their cargo. Quarg continued in his father's footsteps, using the jammers to cause pain to the sea-dragons, which felt intense pain in the ultrasonic ranges they were used to communicating with. Quarg's machinesmiths managed to drag Luke Skywalker's ship out of orbit, during his mission to scout the system, and Quarg forced Luke to help him repair many of his hydra-craft in preparation for destroying the Dragon Lords. When Crimson Jack arrived in the system hoping to locate lost treasure, Quarg ordered his forces to drag the massive pirate ship out of orbit. Crimson Jack's arrival coincided with a massive attack by the Dragon Lords, and Quarg tried to fight both battles at once. Unfortunately, the power needed to drag the pirate ship from orbit drew power from his own propulsion systems, leaving him adrift in the ocean. When Luke attempted to rescue Leia Organa, he managed to knock Quarg off the central mast of his ship. Quarg fell to his death, drowning in the churning seas. (MC12, MC13, MC14)

Quark Warfare
This was an obscure description of the way in which subatomic particles interacted with their environment. (E6N)

Quarkmeter
This was a type of sensor that was part of a starship's standard equipment. (SWJ3)

Quarle, Daven
A native of the planet Verkuyl, this man was an aide to Imperial Governor Parco Ein, and was placed in charge of the selection of a corporation to build a bacta refinery on Verkuyl. Unknown to agent Selby Jarrad, Quarle was also a member of the resistance on Verkuyl, and was working with the New Republic to removed the yoke of Imperial control. Unknown to the Republic, Quarle was actually a double-agent, working primarily for Governor Ein. He used his connection with Selby to determine that the Republic was planning to send in a fleet and liberate Verkuyl. He then alerted Ein to the fleet's arrival, and doublecrossed Selby. Ein later revealed that Daven hated his grandfather, Corlin Quarle Deld, and helped the Empire take control of Verkuyl. Selby learned of his duplicity, and shot him at point-blank range. (TFNR)

Quarlitech Aergronics, Incorporated
This corporation produced a wide range of exercise equipment during the height of the New Order. (GFT)

Quarlo
This independent spacer witnessed the subjugation of Hyrol Preen Beta by the Empire. (FTD)

Quarmall
This fomer Jedi Knight was lost to the Old Republic during the Clone Wars. Quarmall was known to have accompanied Tassida Judrelle to Cona, during the break-up of Lojrak Shrag's slat smuggling ring, just before the Battle of Geonosis. He was captured and twisted into an agent of the Dark Side of the Force by Emperor Palpatine. Palpatine trained Quarmall to hide out until something happened to the Empire, which turned out to be the Battle of Endor. After Palpatine's death, Quarmall emerged and began using his skills with the Dark Side to spread a message of intergalactic peace and harmony. The goal was to weaken the New Republic's military by having its leaders "convert" to Quarmall's prophetic message. Quarmall's deception was exposed by a group of fledgling Jedi during one of his rallies. They challenged Quarmall by talking about his true motives, and Quarmall became angry. His true nature was released, and the young Jedi were forced to defeat him. Rumors spread out from Quarmall's supporters that the young Jedi had killed legitimate Jedi Knight working for peace, even after a large crowd witnessed Quarmall's actions. Note that Star Wars Insider magazine, issue 86, indicates that an Abyssin Jedi Master named Quarmall was killed by General Grievous, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. (GMS, HNN5, SWI86)

Quarmall
This Abyssin served as a Jedi Master during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Master Quarmall was unusual in that he decided to take the entire Bergruutfa Clan of younglings as his Padawans, despite the code forbidding a Master to take more than one Padawan. Master Quarmall was killed some two years after the Battle of Geonosis by General Grievous, who captured the children of the Bergruutfa Clan as part of a plan to develop Force-sensitive battle droids. Note that the Game Master Screens produced by West End Games indicate that there was a Jedi Knight named Quarmall who was turned to the Dark Side of the Force by Emperor Palpatine, during the early years of the New Order. (SWI86, GMS, OWS)

Quarra
These domesticated hunting animals were bred by the Devaronian race. The Devaronians used quarra to dispense the death penalty to murderers and assassins, letting loose a pack of the beasts to rip the criminal apart. It was rumored that this practice was the reason the New Republic wouldn't accept Devaron's application for membership. Quarra have inbred instincts that make them attack the soft underbelly of their victims, ripping out the guts while the prey dies. Then, the quarra can consume their prey at leisure. (TBH)

Quarrel
This was the name given to the projectile that was fired from a Wookiee bowcaster. Essentially large bullers, quarrels could be set to explode on contact, or detonate a short distance in front of their target. (E4, HSR, CVD)

Quarrelgrass
A plant native to Coruscant, it had a distinctive odor. (BTS)

Quarren
This was the native language of the Quarren people. (GMR10)

Quarren
A humanoid race native to Mon Calamari's deep oceans, the Quarren were distinguished by their helmet-shaped heads and the mass of tentacles located below their close-set eyes. Although it had never been scientifically proven that the Quarren evolved from squid-like creatures, their appearance and the fact that they could squirt ink into the water when startled pointed to a similarity between them.

Whereas the Mon Calamari race chose to live near the surface, the Quarren were more accustomed to deep-sea living, and chose to live below the water. Their conservative and solitary nature made them unwilling to trust new ideas or lofty concepts. When they first came in contact with the shore-dwelling Mon Calamari who shared their homeworld, the Quarren were hesitant. They eventually began to cooperate with the Mon Cal, and together they developed a symbiotic relationship in which the Quarren provide the raw materials, and the Mon Cal provide the knowledge and expertise. This led to the construction of the huge floating cities that dominate Calamari's oceans.

Because of their pragmatic nature, the Quarren did not want to travel and explore the stars, as the Mon Cal did, and this began to create friction between the two races. Tensions flared during the Clone Wars, when the Mon Calamari remained loyal to the Old Republic while the Quarren sided with the Separatists. A temporary truce that was forged in the wake of the Clone Wars was dashed when the Empire subjugated the planet Mon Calamari. The Quarren chose to remain passive, leaving the battle to the Mon Calamari, whom many Quarren believed had brought the Empire to their homeworld in the first place.

However, the Quarren could not escape the Empire, and it was rumored that a Quarren helped the Empire evade the Calamarian defenses and overtake the planet. Unfortunately, the Quarren were enslaved along with the Mon Cal. When the Mon Cal resisted Imperial rule, the Empire began destroying the floating cities. This served to unite the two races temporarily, and together they were able to solidify their defenses and drive off the Empire with nothing more than crude weapons. After that, there were a number of Quarren who left the planet, seeking a life among the stars as their neighbors the Mon Cal did. (E6, DE1, DA, SWSB, YDR, NEGA)

Quarren Crystal
This beautiful glassware rarely makes it off Calamari. (BW)

Quarren Industrial
This Calamarian corporation manufactures the various mining implements used by the Quarren to obtain the valuable ores from the bottom of the Calamari seas. They built the Q-4 borer droid. (DU)

Quarren Isolation League
This band of Quarren was formed just prior to the Clone Wars, in opposition to the reformation of the Mon Calamari Knights. As the galaxy was swept up in the Clone Wars, the Quarren Isolation League sided with Count Dooku and the Separatists, accepting weaponry and technology in an effort to defeat the Mon Calamari and turn the planet over to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Quarren had historically felt that they were considered second-class citizens to the Mon Calamari, but their inherently solitary nature seemed to keep them in this position. Senator Tikkes, the Quarren whose corruption was exposed by the Galactic Senate, returned to Calamari and brought the Quarren Isolation League to the forefront. The League demanded that Calamari sever all ties to the Old Republic, and sought to eliminate any opposition - from the Mon Calamari or fellow Quarren. The League was supported by many of the most influential mining operations on the planet, which were led by Quarren and funded by the Commerce Guild, and it accepted advanced underwater warships from the Techno Union. However, as the Clone Wars dragged on, the Quarren Isolation League was eventually defeated by the Mon Calamari Knights, who were supported by Jedi Master Kit Fisto and a squadron of clone troopers. (SWDB, CWC1)

Quarren Isolationist League

Quarren Sector
This was one section of Crevasse City, located on the planet Kalkovak. It was named for the fact that it was originally settled by a group of Quarren. (UYV)

Quarren Tower
This was one of the largest buildings located on Coral City, on the planet Mon Calamari, during the height of the New Republic. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Quarren Tower served as a residence for many of the dishomed Senators and leaders of the fledgling Galactic Alliance. (UF)

Quarren War
This was a term used by the Mon Calamari to describe the brief civil war that erupted between their race and the Quarren on their homeworld of Calamari, some twenty years before the Clone Wars. The war was ultimately won by the Mon Calamari, although it did little to change the political stance of the population. Ultimately, the two races remained separated by many different ideals. (GORW)

Quarrenese
This was the name given to the native language of the Quarren. (ANT)

Quarrr-tellerrra
This Wookiee name was given to Bria Tharen, during her work with the Kashyyyk underground resistance. The name means "sun-haired warrior." (RD)

Quarry 6
This was a massive repulsor platform produced by TaggeCo, during the final years of the Old Republic, for moving large slabs of rock and stone. These platforms were put to use in quarries and construction sites. While the Quarry 6 was considered powerful for its time, it was eventually replaced by models with more carrying capacity. (EAEG)

Quarry, The
Located in an underwater cavern near the core of the planet Naboo, this was where the Gungans sent their criminals to be punished. During their time there, Gungans were forced to break large stones into small grains of sand, then form them back into stones again. Until Jar Jar Binks was ordered to spent time in the Quarry for letting the specimens of the Otoh Gunga Zoological Research Facility loose, no Gungan had been sent to the Quarry for three generations. Many Gungans had considered the Quarry to horrendous a punishment, but Boss Nass decided that it would be perfect to try and straighten out Jar Jar. Most of the passages into or out of the Quarry were blocked by grates or bars. (E1A9)

Quarter Moon Street
This avenue was located in the third quadrant of Coruscant's Senate District, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (DH)

Quartermain III
This was one of three Imperial maintenance carriers assigned to the replenishment fleet which contained the Black Ice. (BI)

Quartermaster-class Supply Cruiser
This dagger-shaped cargo vessel was produced during the era of the Great Sith War. Three sublight engines dominated the aft section of the ship, which had a cockpit that was mounted at the midpoint of the ship's dorsal ridge. (WOTC)

Quas Killam
This planet, located on the farthest edge of the Mid Rim, was the homeworld of the Killam race. The planet was site of a civil war several years before the Battle of Naboo. The two government factions fought over who would control the planet's trinium resources, and the Jedi Knights were called in to negotiate a settlement. Siri Tachi and her Padawan, Ferus Olin, managed to get one cartel to agree to a large number of concessions, ending the conflict but never truly solving the problem. Ultimately, the cartel allied itself with the Trade Federation, and used the clout of the Federation to crush the other faction and take total control of the planet. (SOJ)

Quasar
This was one of the most powerful starship booster systems produced by Novaldex, during the height of the New Order. The Quasar was available in a standard and an advanced version, depending on the desired power output characteristics. (SWG2P)

Quasar
This man was the Captain of a luxury liner during the years following the Clone Wars. During a trip which took his ship across the Merson Asteroid Belt, Captain Quasar was forced to enlist the aid of Obi-Wan Kenobi in calming the passengers and defending the ship. Obi-Wan was able to discover the location of a homing signal generator and disabling it, allowing the passenger ship to continue unharmed. (MC24)

Quasar Fire-class Bulk Cruiser
This SoroSuub cruiser-carrier was 340 meters in length, and had a flat, triangular shape. The point of the triangle held the bridge and command section. A long hull brace fanned out behind the bridge, widening into the rear section of the ship. This section, which formed the base of the triangle, was designed to house four squadrons of starfighters (forty-eight in all). The rear section was deep enough to allow incoming ships to land, and was open to space. Only a magnetic field separated the flight deck from space when the ship wasn't at battle stations. The Quasar Fire normally had a crew of 250, more than half of which were starfighter mechanics. It was armed with only a pair of heavy turbolasers, as its mission profile was to deliver its payload of starfighters into the battle then retreat from any engagements. (EGV)

QuasarFire
This was the brand name of a Taim & Bak ground-based turbolaser turret, produced during the height of the New Order. These emplacements had their own, dedicated power generators, which made them exceptionally powerful but also expensive to operate. Six QuasarFire turrets were installed on Mytus VII to defend the Stars' End penal colony. (CSA, OWS)

QuasarKing327
This was the HoloNet codename used by Groz Niclari, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN5)

Qua'Tahc
This was one of the many mining towns located on the planet Af'El. Qua'Tahc was known for its rich meleenium deposits. (SWJ10)

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

Quatra
This woman was one of the many Jedi Masters who worked from the base on Dantooine during the years leading up to the Great Sith War, some 4.000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Among her most noted Padawans was the Cathar known as Juhani, who struggled to contain her instincts and the Jedi Code. During a training exercise, Juhani became angry with Quatra's continuous banter, and lashed out at her Master. Quatra was accidentally killed by Juhani's attack, and her death drove the Cathar into the wilderness. (SWDB)

Quatreen River
This river wound through Foulahn City, on the planet Cartao, separating the city from the Triv Spaceport. (SWI69)

Quaxcon
This small corporation produced a variety of diagnostic kits during the early years of the New Republic. (TG)

Quay
This barren moon was the largest of the five satellites that orbited the planet Sriluur. (GORW)

Quay
This round, hard-plastic sphere measured about twenty centimeters in diameter, and used by the Weequay as a sort of communications device. The Weequay believed that they could use the sphere to talk to the moon-god Quay. In reality, the plastic sphere was a simple random response generator. When prompted for a response, the ball would generate a random phrase, such as "It was decidedly so" or "Ask again later." To the Weequay, the quay resembled one of their homeworld's moons, thus giving it even greater significance and a way to communicate with Quay, the god of the moon. (TJP)

Quay
This was the Weequay god of the moon that orbited their homeworld of Sriluur. In their native tongue, the name "Weequay" literally meant "follower of Quay." Many Weequays continually sought Quay's advice through a totem, also called a quay, that seemingly allowed Quay to answer their questions. In reality, this totem was little more than an amusing toy, a plastic sphere that was filled with water and a floating polygon that had various answers written on its sides. (TJP, GG12, NEGA)

Quay Ball
see Quay (SWI87)

Quay Lyn
This asteroid field was located in the Sriluur System, between the orbits of the planets Alcrue and Lyntra. (GORW)

Quayce
This woman never knew what planet she was born on, but she knew that Shesharile 5 was her home. She joined the swoop gang known as the Rabid Mynocks, and was chosen their leader after the previous leader was killed in a raid. Under Quayce, the Mynocks enjoyed a brief prosperity until the Spiders and the Raging Banthas joined forces against them. Quayce and her core team barely escaped, and vowed to eliminate the rival gangs. To show her defiance of their attempt to kill her, Quayce shaved one side of her head as a reminder. (SWJ6)

Quay'kizac
This village, located well beyond the borders of Meirm City in Sriluur, was a religious retreat for the native Weequay population. (SSR)

Quebe-Luxfause Systems
Headquartered on Tatooine during the height of the New Order, this small corporations produced the Queblux line of power generators. (IWST)

Queblux
This was a version of low-grade power sources, used to support small buildings, that was produced by Quebe-Luxfause Systems during the early years of the New Order. (GG7, TME, IWST)

Queblux
This was the common name used to describe Quebe-Luxfause Systems. (IWST)

Quecks
This Phindian was a Major in the Sentient Property Crime Bureau, during the height of the Clone Wars. Quecks was the first Phindian to respond to the presence of Solis and Fidelis on Phindar, when the droids accompanied Whie Malreaux - who was traveling with Jedi Master Yoda to Vjun - after they departed from the Reasonable Doubt. Quecks was unprepared for the actions of Solis during a Separatist attack on the Jedi accompanying Whie. Solis saw an opportunity to abandon the Jedi, and grabbed the neural-net eraser from Quecks' hands, breaking his fingers in the process. Seeing their leader disarmed so easily, the troops supporting Quecks ran for their lives, and Quecks wasn't far behind. (YDR)

Quedlifu
This New Republic Senator served as the chairbeing of the Economics Committee under President Gavrisom. (SOP)

Quednak
This six-legged, reptilian herbivore was domesticated by the Yuuzhan Vong for use as a mount and transport. Because of the variety diets of plants and roots, quednaks were known to be excessively flatulent. Quednaks were also minimally intelligent, able to comprehend the basic commands of their riders. (Y)

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

Quee, Danni
This young woman was one of the original members of the ExGal-4 outpost team sent to the planet Belkadan. The daughter of a bureaucratic father, she was just eighteen at the time, a native of Commenor who hated the oppressive atmosphere of the densely-populated Core planets. Her mother was an astrphysicist who tried to stay out of politics as best she could. Her father was a bureaucrat, and her parents split up when she as still young. Danni claimed that her mother's influence caused her to join the ExGal Society at fifteen, hoping to escape the press of too many people and the demands of government. She thought that she would have her moment of glory when the ExGal-4 station detected an asteroid from beyond the galaxy's rim near Helska, only to find that the asteroid was a Yuuzhan Vong worldship and the advance ship in their invasion of the galaxy. She took the outpost's Spacecaster shuttle to Helska to see what had happened, but was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong and held captive. Although she failed to understand the honor she was given by the Yuuzhan Vong, she realized that she was alive and sought any way to escape. She was held on Helska, and was later joined by Miko Reglia. The Yuuzhan Vong tried to break his will by bombarding him with images of his own failure, but Danni struggled to keep him sane enough to escape. They managed to steal two ooglith cloakers, and tried to get off the planet. Miko sacrificed himself so that Danni and Jacen Solo could escape, and they were rescued by Jaina Solo during the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong over Helska. Danni returned to Commenor to rest before rejoining the New Republic's efforts to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong. She later accompanied Leia Organa Solo on a mission to Bastion, where they attempted to enlist the aid of Gilead Pellaeon and the Imperial Remnant in battling the Yuuzhan Vong. She found herself more and more attracted to Jacen Solo, despite the difference in their age, and she slowly cultivated a relationship with him. Danni later accompanied Jacen and his uncle, Luke Skywalker, on a mission into the Unknown Regions, where they hoped to find the rogue planet Zonama Sekot. Upon landing on the planet, Danni was amazed at the lifeforce which infused the world. However, the native Ferroans were not convinced of the Jedis' motives, nor was Sekot, the sentient part of the planet. A group of Ferroans attacked their camp and took Danni hostage, and she suffered a concussion in the attack. Sekot had orchestrated the attack to test the Jedi, and both Luke and Jacen were able to convince the planet of their peaceful intentions. Danni was freed, and Zonama Sekot agreed to follow them back to the galaxy. Danni, however, found no solace in the return to the known galaxy, for she had come to the realization that she would never truly be a Jedi Knight. Despite the words of Luke Skwyalker and the examples of her latent ability, Danni despaired of ever truly communing with the Force. Her mood didn't improve even when Sekot specifically requested her presence on the surface when the living planet returned to realspace near Coruscant. It was only after Sekot revealed what it had discovered about its own past that Danni discovered what she wanted to do with her life. After battling the Yuuzhan Vong for so long, Danni elected to remain on Zonama Sekot when it returned to the Unknown Regions, in hopes of learning more about the extra-galactic aliens and their bio-technology. She remained a strong supporter of the new Jedi order, and her traveled to Ossus when Master Skywalker sent out his Force call, during the height of the conflict with the Colony. When Master Skywalker demanded that all in attendance either commit fully to the Jedi order, Danni found herself unable to part with her work on Zonama Sekot. She chose to break with the Jedi, and parted ways amicably with Master Skywalker before returned to the living planet. (VP, DTO, DTR, FH1, FH3, UF, DN3)

Queel
This swamp-covered planet was one of many worlds that saw fighting during the early months of the Clone Wars. The Confederacy of Independent Systems established a base of operations on the planet, as part of a defensive line of worlds. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were sent to Queel to liberate the planet, but Skywalker and his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, were called away to capture Messo on Mon Gazza. (CWCC)

Queen Mother's Birthday
This was the most important of all the holidays observed in the Hapes Cluster. It honored the birthday of the original Queen Mother, and was accompanied by the largest ball of the year. (LF3)

Queen of Air and Darkness
This sabacc card had a value of plus or minus two. (HT)

Queen of Cularin
This Corellian-built luxury liner made regular runs between the planets of the Cularin System, during the final decades of the Old Republic. The Queen of Cularin made a regular run through the Cularin Comet Cloud, providing passengers with a spectacular view of the space rubble as it moved around the system. The ship was once the target of an ambush by the Fireclaw Horde, but the ship was saved from any trouble by a group of freelance agents. (JST2)

Queen of Empire
This Corellian Engineering Corporation luxury liner was owned by the Haj Shipping Lines, and made regular stops at Cloud City during the middle years of the New Order. Measuring 150 meters in length, the Queen of Empire was operated by a crew of 122, which included the pilot, co-pilot, and 120 servants and wait staff. It could accommodate up to 600 passengers and 2,000 metric tons of supplies. Since it was a civilian vessel, the Queen of Empire was only lightly armed, with a pair of double turbolasers being its only weaponry. Bria Tharen boarded the Queen of Empire as Bria Lavval, and was nearly captured by Boba Fett but for the timely intervention of Lando Calrissian. However, Calrissian was unable to rescue her without the timelier intervention of Drea Renthal and her pirates. They had used an asteroid's mass shadow to drag the luxury liner out of hyperspace, and began looting the ship as Fett tried to escape with his prey. Drea stopped the bounty hunter before he could escape, and offered to pay Bria's bounty in return for their safety. Fett had no choice but to agree. The ship was well maintained, and continued to operate throughout the Galactic Civil War and the early part of the New Republic. It was attacked by pirates hired by the Peace Brigade during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, after it was learned that Major Showolter was transporting Elan and Vergere to Coruscant on the ship. (RD, HT, NJOSB)

Queen of Ranroon
This legendary, lost starship was supposedly seen by spacers in the depths of space. Legends said that it was, at the time of its launch, the largest ship ever built. It was believed to have been filled with the treasue of Xim the Despot, and was on its way to deliver the treasure to Xim's vaults on Dellalt when it was lost.

During the height of the New Order, Lanni Troujow found the ship's log-recorder while working in the mines of Dellalt, but she was killed by J'uoch before she could locate it. Her sister, Hasti, enlisted the help of an old friend, Alexsandr Badure, and set out to recover the log-recorder. With the help of Skynx, they hoped to find the Queen of Ranroon, but lacked a way to leave Rudrig to being their search. Some two years before the Battle of Yavin, Badure then talked his old friends, Han Solo and Chewbacca, into transporting them to Dellalt for a portion of the profits.

It was Skynx who was able to translate the log-recorder, from which the group learned that the Queen of Ranroon had been en route to Dellalt when Xim was killed during the Third Battle of Vontor. Because the vaults on Dellalt could only be opened by Xim, the crew of the ship chose to land near the vaults and await his return, unaware that he was already dead. The descendants of these crewmen became known as the Survivors, and they jealously guarded the ship for many millennia.

Although the ship had eventually been dismantled, her entire treasure had been transferred to the various vaults that had been built on Dellalt. Unfortunately for Han Solo and his group, they discovered that the "treasure" she held was cheap, abundant materials and weapons that Xim hoped to stockpile and use in his galactic conquest. Skynx, however, discovered a wealth of information tapes and other records that provided invaluable insight into the centuries leading up to the formation of the Old Republic.

The dating of Han Solo's involvement in locating the Queen of Ranroon is implied in an article on New Year Fete Week in the Star Wars Adventure Journal, issue 5. (HSR, SWJ5)

Queen of Taris
This Taris-based luxury liner was among the many vessels that were converted to carry refugees away from Taris, during the height of the Mandalorian Wars. Unfortunately, the ship was among the many vessels that fled to Serroco, where it was attacked and destroyed by Mandalorian warships. (KOR5)

Queen of the Core Worlds
This was a common nickname used to describe the planet Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. (CN1)

Queen of the Valkyries
This was the name of the starship promised to Belezaboth Ourn by Nil Spaar. The ship was to be payment for the damage done to the Mother's Valkyrie. Spaar kept the starship in the Yevethan fleet protecting N'zoth, claiming it was needed to defend the Yevetha from the New Republic's Fifth Battle Group. This also served to keep Ourn on Coruscant, providing Spaar with a ready source of information on the Republic. (SOL)

Queen Yram's Needle
This tall, thin monument was erected in the city of Theed, on the planet Naboo. (IWE1)

Queen's Drawing Room
This was one of the many chambers in the royal palace of Hapes, which was set aside for the private use of the Queen Mother. Entrance to the chamber was through a single doorway, which was heavily guarded whenever the Queen Mother was present.

It was up to the Queen Mother to decide the fate of any individual involved in the coup, although she received guidance and input from her inner circle of advisors and aides. (LF3)

Queen's Monument
Erected by the Gungans after the Battle of Naboo, this unique monument was built in honor of Queen Amidala. It symbolized the peace which had been forged between the Naboo and the Gungans, which allowed them to break the Trade Federation's hold on their world.

Originally held more than 4,000 years before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Queen's Pageant was believed to been started by the first Queen Mother, as a parody of the slave auctions that were once held on Hapes. Over time, it evolved into an event in which the Queen Mother herself chose the most handsome man in the Hapes Consortium. (LF3)

This flavorful fish was considered a delicacy on many planets. A civil war on the fish's native planet resulted in a toxic waste spill that killed off a huge part of the quekka fish population. (HAS)

Quekka Trench
This twelve-kilometer-deep trench was the site of a Rendeel Industries processing plant, which was made profitable by the canning of the local quekka fish. It was also the site of a battle between local governmental factions, which resulted in a toxic waste spill that killed off the quekka fish population. (HAS)

Quekka Trench Station
This one of the Rendeel Industries' type 07034 processing plants, located deep within the Quekka Trench. This plant processed tons of quekka fish each year, providing the delicate fish to chefs across the galaxy. However, when the local government splintered into warring factions, the Trench became the site of an intense battle. During the struggle, toxic wastes were dumped into the Trench, killing off a huge portion of the quekka fish population. The station survived the battle undamaged, unlike Shelf Station 432. Rendeel abandoned the plant, which was no longer profitable, along with Shelf Station 321. (HAS)

(CPL, GORW, KOR8)

Quell
This planet was the site of a minor battle during the Clone Wars. (CWTV13)

Quell, Lars
This was the alias adopted by Anakin Skywalker, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, when he posed as a slave trader while trying to infiltrate the Zygerian Slavers Guild and rescue a group of captive Togrutas. Quell supposedly won the Fate's Hand from her Zygerrian captain, Onyx, in a game of chance. Upon landing on Zygeria, with Ahsoka Tano posing as a slave to be sold, Anakin was intercepted by Zygerian guards, who were quick to point out that Captain Onyx would never have wagered his ship in a bet. Captain Slego would have thrown Anakin in prison, but the Most High Queen demanded an audience with Quell. At the palace, Anakin provided more of Quell's backstory, including stints as a smuggler and freelancer in the Core Worlds. However, the Most High Queen's advisors could find no record of anyone named Lars Quell in their databases, forcing Anakin to explain that he went by many aliases, in order to prevent his enemies from locating him. This satisfied the Queen, who then demanded to see the slave Quell had brought. Ahsoka changed their plan, and instead of posing as a simple Togruta, she assumed the guise of Princess Zaa Vashee. The Queen wanted to purchase her on the spot, but Lars explained that he hoped to reap a huge profit at the upcoming slave auction. In order to remain in the Queen's good graces, Lars changed his mind and gave the "Princess" to the Queen as a gift, knowing that Ahsoka would be able to gather information on the Zygerians from inside the royal palace. However, Anakin's plans all changed when Obi-Wan Kenobi was captured by the Zygerians, and Lars Quell was order to whip the Jedi for trying to disrupt the auction. Anakin refused to do this, revealing himself and Ahsoka as Jedi. Although they fought bravely, the Jedi were rendered unconscious by the electrified whipe used by the Zygerian slavers, and they were placed in captivity. (TCW1)

Quella
Ah Kwan's female companion at Jabba the Hutt's palace. (TJP)

Quella Stone
This beautiful blue gemstone was most famous as the trademark of the master thief known as Tombat. Tombat always left a small blue quella stone at the scene of his crimes. Quella stones were known to be found only in the Alderaan System. (SWJ4, SWJ6, SWJ8)

Quellegh Industrial
This corporation produced a wide range of riot-suppression weapons, including stun rays, during the decades leading up to the Great Sith War. Most of their products were designed for use on droids and other automata, and were designed to be non-lethal. This allowed Quellegh to sell their products on the public market, although much of their marketing was directed toward power-hungry despots and other beings who desired power. (KOTOR)

Quello
This Toydarian owned a group of landing pads on Nar Shaddaa, during the years surrounding the Jedi Civil War. (KOTOR2)

Quellor
This planet was one of many worlds on which peaceful, anti-Imperial rallies were held in the aftermath of the Battle of Yavin. At one such rally in Terrina Square, Moff Toggan called in a legion of stormtroopers to keep the peace, and he specifically ordered them to hold their fire unless he gave the order. Unfortunately, when the protesters burned an effigy of Emperor Palpatine, the stormtroopers opened fire. All the protesters were incinerated. (RESB)

Quenak
This twelve-legged beast was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong to serve as a mount for their Chazrach troops. (UF)

Quence Sector
This area of the galaxy was found within the Outer Rim Territories. It was known for its abundance of bars and taverns, which numbered in the millions during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GG9, OWS)

Quench Weed
This plant, found on the planet Naboo, was boiled by the Gungans and reduced to form a powerful adhesive. When placed into water, the boiled quench weed expanded while retaining its adhesive properties, creating a sticky glob which could plug up holes or pipes. (GF, GMR4)

Quenfis
A New Republic escort frigate, the Quenfis was sent to locate the Katana under the command of Captain Sarin Virgilio. Borsk Fey'lya and Leia Organa Solo were also on board. When the Imperial Star Destroyer Judicator intercepted the Quenfis at the Katana's location, Fey'lya ordered Virgilio to leave, an action that would strand the members of the New Republic which had already entered some of the Dreadnaughts. When Leia tricked Fey'lya into expressing his views over the frigate's loudspeakers, Virgilio opted to throw Fey'lya in the brig and remain with the Katana Fleet. (DFR)

Quenin
This city, located on the northern continent of the planet Daltarra, was also the site of the largest spaceport serving the planet. (RESB)

Quenker
This small, subterranean mammal was native to the planet Dantooine. Similar in many respects to most canids, the quenker moved about by hopping on its hind legs. When hungry, the quenker exuded a toxin bile from its mouth, which it used to break down and partially digest its prey before consuming it. This bile was especially dangerous to human flesh, which all but disintegrated when it came into contact with the bile. (ROD)

Quenno
This was one of the two factions of the Saurton race. The Quenno opposed the "progress" of the Des'mar faction, wishing to return Essowyn to the complete control of the Saurton. The Quenno felt that the major mining corporations which moved in to mine the system's asteroid belts were taking control of Essowyn and leaving nothing for the Saurton. Despite their obvious majority, the Quenno couldn't make much progress because it lacked the wealth and power of the Des'mar. (PG1)

Quent Assassins
This was one of the many teams which participated in the Royal Imperial Shockball League, during the height of the New Order. (CRO)

Quenton
This Imperial Commander was dispacthed by Grand Admiral Thrawn to the planet Tatooine, in order to investigate the auction of the moss-painting known as Killik Twilight, some four and a half years after the Battle of Endor. Assigned to the Chimaera, Commander Quenton was given a wealth of credits with which to secure the artwork, and no price was considered too high. However, when he noticed that a Devaronian and a Twi'lek - actually Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo, in disguise - were trying to destroy the artwork, Quenton and his men opened fire in Mawbo's Performance Hall, in an effort to secure it. They were unable to foresee that Kitster Nabai would steal the painting and flee into the desert, but Quenton reacted quickly and sent a detachment out to recover both Banai and Killik Twilight. (TG)

Quentor
This was the name of a small, yellow-tailed summerbird which was kept as a pet by one of the Old Republic's Senators, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Fligh used Quentor's name as his "source" for information on the fixing of certain events at the Galactic Games on Euceron. He maintained this story until he was caught by Obi-Wan Kenobi, who discovered Quentor's true identity. (JQ3)

Quenus
This gas giant was the fourth planet in the Chandrila System. It was orbited by three moons. (CCW)

Quermia
This Outer Rim planet was home to a race of intelligent invertebrates known as Quermians. The planet itself had been terraformed many millennia before the Galactic Civil War, when a rogue group of Arkanian geneticists set about to create a new race of beings from Xexto genetic stock. The resulting terraforming created a garden-like environment that was quite beautiful to behold. Although the Arkanians eventually grew bored with their experiments and left Quermia, the Quermian people continued to evolve there. (IG1, IWE1, NEGA)

Quermian
This race of intelligent invertebrates was native to the planet Quermia. The average Quermian had a vaguely humanoid physique, but their small heads were supported by long, thin necks. Four arms sprouted from heir long torso, which was supported by two thin legs. A Quermian had two brains, and their olfactory organs were located in their hands. The upper brain controlled emotions and body functions, while the lower brain controlled creative thinking and logic.

It was believed that the Quermians were related to the Xexto of the planet Troiken, and research into their origins proved this to be true. Almost 17,000 years before the Battle of Endor, the Quermian people were actually created by the geneticists of a rogue group of Arkanian scientists, who brought Xextos with them to Quermia and began a series of genetic experiments on them. The Arkanians grew bored of waiting for something to happen, and left Quermia. Left on their own, the Quermian people evolved at their own pace. The Quermians developed space travel on their own, but chose to populate only those worlds in their immediate star system.

As a people, the Quermians were strongly telepathic, and could converse by locking eyes with one another. However, when traveling away from Quermia, they did their best to hide this trait from the rest of the galaxy. As a species, Quermians valued advanced and complicated philosophical contemplation, and many of the Old Republic's greatest diplomats and thinkers were of Quermian descent.

Because of their altered genetic history and the fact that they had two distinct brains, many Quermians were prone to sudden psychoses, including obsessive-compulsive disorders and dissociative idtenity disorders. (IG1, OWS, ANT, PJSB, NEGA)

Quermian
This was the name given to the native language of the Quermian race. It consisted of a number of melodious sounds, and the Quermian alphabet contained as many vowels as consonants. (ANT, UANT)

Quermian Xexto
This was the name used by the Old Republic to describe the Quermian race, after it was discovered that the Quermians were genetic descendants of the Xextos. The Xextos quietly protested this new choice of name, having also been re-desginated as Troiken Xextos, and eventually the name was dropped. (NEGA)

Quersey, Bren
This young man dreamed of attending the Raithal Academy, before joining the Alliance. He trained on the X-Wing under Wedge Antilles, and served as Red Eight during the Battle of Yavin. Quersey was killed in the battle. (CCG9)

Quest
This was a type fantasy role-playing game. (COJ)

Quest, Sarcev
This man served in the Agricultural Corps of the Old Republic, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. Bored with this lifestyle and frustrated that he had not become a Jedi, Sarcev believed he had been rescued when Chancellor Palpatine took him as an apprentice and aide. His handsome looks allowed Sarcev to mingle with the nobles and dignitaries of the Imperial court, gathering intelligence without appearing to pry. At night Sarcev worked as an infiltrator and was also one of the Emperor's Hands, spying on Palpatine's enemies and gathering hard evidence of their plans. It was believed that Sarcev Quest was called upon to dispose of the mutated infant that was birthed by Niobi, during the experiments of Borborygmus Gog and Mammon Hoole.

After the Battle of Endor, Sarcev used a clone of Sate Pestage to try and maintain control of the Imperial Ruling Council, but the clone was eventually killed and Ysanne Isard too control of the Empire. Sarcev himself allied with Carnor Jax, and even manipulated events so that Jax would supplant the Emperor's clones to lead the Empire. When Jax was killed, Sarcev was ostracized by the Ruling Council, and went into hiding.

It was later revealed that Sarcev Quest was the father of Irek Ismaren, although many believed that Irek was the son of Emperor Palpatine himself. Quest was eventually captured, after a bounty was placed on his head by Jeng Droga. Although Droga believed that it was Boba Fett who brought in Quest, it was actually Ailyn Vel working in disguise. It was believed that Sarcev Quest was later execution by Droga. (GMR5, EL2, SWI80, NECH, OWS, EGF)

Quest for Quasar
This was a holofilm produced by Myris Pictures during the last decades of the Old Republic, and was based on the popular roleplaying game of the same name. Fans of the game protested the choice of Harlan Ottekvar for the leading role of Lord Baltharog, claiming that Ottekvar stood just 1.86 meters in height while Baltharog was clearly described as being 1.89 meters tall. (HNN5)

Quest for Quasar
This was one of the most popular roleplaying games of the last decades of the Old Republic. It was eventually made into a holofilm by Myris Pictures, shortly before the Clone Wars. (HNN5)

Questal
This remote planet was an evolving world settled by people who simply wanted a quiet existence away from the hustle and bustle of the galaxy. Their peace shattered by the chance discovery of ardanium, which led to an increase in crime and an increase in notice from the Empire. Moff Bandor was installed as the planetary ruler, and he ruled with an iron fist. He kept the populace in line by using the hurlothrumbic generator, and drained the planet of every last cran of the mineral. After Bandor was defeated by the Alliance, Questal became a planet of little political value. It inhabitants established their own government, overthrowing the crime bosses and pledging loyalty to the Empire. In secret, though, they established negotiations with the Alliance. (GCQ)

Questal Sector
This area of the galaxy was home to the Protean species. (SWJ12)

Que'still, Zurric
This man was known to be grim and uncaring. Distinguished by his pure-white hair and his unblinking eyes, he was a former industrial engineer whose deep-space installation was nationalized by the Empire. His wife was killed when she tried to escape, and he never saw any of his friends again. He managed to escape the installation, and later joined the Alliance. (ND)

Question Number One
This was Admiral Traest Kre'fey's name for his primary mission, at least in his own mind. Question Number One, painted on the bulkhead leading to the command deck of the Ralroost, read "How can I hurt the Vong today?" (Y)

Question Number Two
This was Admiral Traest Kre'fey's name for his secondary mission, at least in his own mind. Question Number One, painted on the bulkhead leading to the command deck of the Ralroost, read "How can I help my own side grow stronger?" (Y)

Question of Master Jrul
This was one of the many lessons taught to Jedi Padwans in their training, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Master Jrul was noted for asking two simple questions: "What is the good, if not the teacher of the bad? What is the bad, if not the task of the good?" (E3N)

Questionable Activity Report
This report was required by the Old Republic from all passenger liners operating during the Clone Wars, in the event that a passenger - whether living or droid - acted in a way that was contrary to what was considered normal. In general, the QAR was created by a remote security system that was connected to a mainframe computer, rather than by a living security officer. This made that usefulness of the QAR somewhat dependent on the programming of the security system. (YDR)

Questrel, Jadam
This man, a native of Doaba Guerfel on the planet Corellia, was a supporter of the Alliance during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Quetarra
This Zabrak musical instrument employed a set of strings that could be plucked or strummed to produce sounds. The music produced by a quetarra could be tuned to a variety of musical styles, but was exceptional at the plangent tones of Zabrak music. A quetarra had eight strings, which were usually made of bucky-fiber, that had to be tuned correctly in order to make the instrument sound its best. The hollow, ornate body of a quetarra was shaped like a figure eight, with several holes to produce optimal tones, and a fretboard that sometimes required a performer to use their chin in order to obtain the correct notes. A carved headpiece sat at the end of the fretboard, with turnkeys to assist the musician in tuning the strings. (MBS)

Quetemoor the Elder
This woman was the oldest child of Quetemoor the Venerable, and the heir to his criminal empire on the planet Coruscant, during the early years of the New Order. (CCW)

Quetemoor the Sub-Elder
This pale-skinned man was one of Coruscant's wealthiest nightclub owners, during the last years of the Old Republic and into the New Order. Like Volven Roxe and Beuga Odell, Quetemoor made his fortune without the intervention of the Hutts. Quetemoor was the latest in a long line of Mugaari criminals, and was the first to arrange for a sort of truce with Black Sun's Prince Xizor. He was outwardly known for his boisterous laughter and robust sense of humor, but he could also be brutally sadistic when necessary. (CCW)

Quetemoor the Venerable
This Mugaari crimelord was one of the major underworld forces on the planet Coruscant, during the decades leading up to the Clone Wars. Upon retiring, he turned his operations over to his children, Quetemoor the Elder and Quetemoor the Sub-Elder. (CCW)

Quetemoor the Younger
This man was the nephew of Mugaari crimelord Quetemoor the Sub-Elder. (CCW)

Quetora, Epo
This aging Twi'lek served as a sort of historian for the mining facilities on Mustafar, during the final years of the Old Republic and into the era of the New Order. He found himself much in demand, in the wake of the Clone Wars, as rumors spread throughout the galaxy that Mustafar was the site of a vast treasure. Smugglers and mercenaries arrived to seek out the treasure, and often visited with Epo Quetora to learn more about its possible existence. (SWGAL)

Quetzal Sisters
This was the alias used by Zeela Nall, Nuri Pravada, and Sheyne Tyndos, when they went undercover with Leia Organa to locate a holocube stolen by Nescan Tal'yo. Dressed as the seductive Quetzal Sisters, the women kept Imperial Commander Shad and his detachment occupied while Leia tried to retrieve the holocube. (T15)

Quexius Bird
Native to the forest moon of Endor, this aggressive bird had bright green and red plumage. The bird's head and beak appear to be too large for its scrawny neck. When it flies, the quexius bird resembles a hummingbird, as its wings beat at incredibly fast speeds. The quexius bird was also quite stupid,and will antagonize creatures many times larger than itself. (TSK)

Queyta
This planet was the site of a Techno Union outpost, and was a member of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. The biological weapon known as swamp gas, which killed a number of Gungans on Ohma-D'un, was developed on Queyta eight months earlier. Obi-Wan Kenobi was the only surviving member of a team of five Jedi Masters dispatched to Queyta to recover the antidote for swamp gas. It was on Queyta that he encountered Asajj Ventress, one of the masterminds behind the swamp gas project. Ventress was unable to stop Kenobi's raid, but vowed to capture him eventually. (SWI66, RBR, TCD, NECH)

Quey'tek
see Quy'Tek (LEV)

Quharek
This Force-sensitive Mon Calmari male was one of the leaders of the Village of Aurilia, on the planet Dathomir, serving on the council that was led by Rohak. Quharek, like the other settlers, had been exiled to Dathomir because he was perceived as a threat to Emperor Palpatine. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Quharek was one of the growing number of individuals who wanted to expand the Village by taking in offworlders who wanted to learn more about the Force. Rohak eventually agreed with Marite that the Village of Aurilia should open its arms to Force-sensitive offworlders. In this way, the lore and knowledge of the settlers could be passed on, while the offworlders helped defend the settlement from attacks by the Nightsisters. (SWGAL)

Quialeg

Quick 6
One of Merr-Sonn's sporting blasters, the Quick 6 was a lightweight weapon that was useful for bringing down live game. While not as durable as weapons designed for competition, it's light weight made it popular among amateur hunters. (RASB, AEG)

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

Quick Pit
Based on the outskirts of Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine, Quick Pit was the name of a starship docking system managed by Pg'lax and his Verpine cohorts during the height of the New Order. Because most of Mos Eisley's docking bays were privately owned and operated, their owners often charged exhorbitant fees from spacers. Rather than paying these fees and cutting into their own profits, spacers could land on the outskirts of Mos Eisley and have their ships serviced wherever they landed by the Quick Pit team. Four A-A5 speeder trucks moved from ship to ship, providing all manner of resupply and refueling services. Because Pg'lax and his team serviced a large number of ships each day, they could charge their clients a much lower fee than the private docking bay owners. (GMR7)

Quick Ship
This 17-meter-long transport shuttle was designed and manufactured by Heckson Industries during the New Order. It was developed for planetary police forces, and was armed with a pair of triple blasters. It required a pilot and a gunner, and couls transport up to six passengers and 100 kilograms of cargo. (GMK)

Quick Shot Upgrade
This was the generic term used to describe any starship weapon upgrade that allowed the weapon to fire two or more rounds in rapid succession, by acting like a capacitor for the energy being provided to the weapons systems. These upgrades reduced the recharge time for weapons that were used to fire multiple rounds, but they also consumed additional power in order to maintain an adequate supply of energy for subsequent firings. (SWG2P)

Quick-6
see Quick 6 (UA)

Quickclay
A thick, greenish clay that acts like quicksand and covers much of the planet Circarpous V. (SME)

Quick-code

(FJ3)

Quickening, The
This was the name used to describe a form of bloodlust that could be imprinted onto the mind lattice of a Skakoan individual.

This was the name of Drolan Plasteel's wrist-mounted projectile launching system. It was essentially a crossbow mounted to the user's arm on a heavy sleeve, which could be worn under robes or a cloak. Despite the ease of use of the QuickShot, the weapon was eventually replaced by hold-out blasters and dart pistols. (TOJC, AEG)

Quicksilver
This was one of the most powerful starship booster systems produced by Incom Industries, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Quickwit
This Old Republic courier ship was attacked near Ando, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. Her captain, Kendra Tissido, had brought the ship out of hyperspace to recalibrate the ship's navigational computer. Tissido claimed that a frigate-sized ship disgorged five droid starfighters that immediately attacked the Quickwit. Tissido's crew managed to jump into hyperspace and escape. Many historians point to this event as one of the early conflicts of the Clone Wars. (HNN5)

Quien, Corman
This human was a member of the Alliance, and was trained as a scout. After being stationed on Hoth, Corman became one of Echo Base's tauntaun handlers. He was responsible for capturing, breaking, and trainging the beasts for use as mounts.

This was one of the most common Gungan surnames, taking from the father's side of the family. These surnames were not dropped, even after marriage. The name referred to a species of fish that was native to Naboo. (GCG)

Quiglee
This species of fish was native to Naboo. (GCG)

Quiglee, Zak "Squidfella"
This Gungan was one of the best bongo racers of his generation. He was also one of the most vocal opponents of recklessness of racers like Neb Neb Goodrow and Spleed Nukkels. He tried to lobby for their banishment from bongo racing, but any charges he brought forward were eventually dismissed. During the ensuing races, Squidfella became increasingly agitated with Spleed's tactics. During run of the Otoh Gunga Challenge, he tried to destroy her bongo after seeing that the remote-seein devices had been disabled by kreetch eels. Before he could finish the job, however, Nen Neb rammed his bongo into that of Squidfella, breaching Squidfella's bubble canopy. After the race, Squidfella had disappeared, although his bongo was recovered from the floor of Lake Paonga. He then managed to sneak back into Otoh Gunga and steal a military bongo, which he hoped to use to attack his rivals, whom he had learned were working with Lob Dizz to rebuilt Boss Nass' military heyblibber. He tried to kill them, but they managed to get the heyblibber working and rammed Squidfella's own vessel. He was knocked unconscious, and was later arrested and held for trial. He was found guilty on counts of stealing military vessels and attempted murder, and was banned from racing and sent to a correctional facility for many years. (GMR4)

Quilan Hive
This Qieg nest was the governmental seat of the planet Lan Barell, found within the boundaries of capital city of Shulell. Originally, the Quilan Hive was a collection of nests that had been burrowed from the succulents of the Cacti Forests, then surrounded by a stone wall. This wall was completed some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The Quilan Hive became the center of the Qieg civilization, and it was only natural that the human settlers who arrived from the Old Republic would eventually seek it out. After the Qieg allowed Gaminne Group Incorporated to establish a presence on Lan Barell, the Quilan Hive became the central location of what would eventually become the city of Shulell.

Over the centuries following the arrival of human settlers, the Quilan hive remained the focal point of all industry on Lan Barell. Tunnels and chambers were widened or expanded to accommodate the humans, while other buildings were erected along both sides of the wall to allow for more human habitation. As the population continued to grow, the Quilan Hive expanded to accommodate nearly 100,000 Qieg at its greatest point.

By the time of the Clone Wars, the Quilan Hive had become the primary governmental seat on the planet, and it was here that The Guild established their headquarters. The original meeting chamber had been excavated to house the main trade floor, where all the merchants and dealers bought and sold the various ores and resources that were exported from the Lan System. (SWJ1, OWS)

Quilan Pyradex
This inscribed crystal pyramid was designed to assist the user in solving huge mathematical problems. It was attuned to beings who lived as part of a hive mind, but could be used by other races with practice. (GMR7)

Quilken
This planet, located in the Roon System, was the site of one of Mungo Baobab's bases, during the height of the New Order. The Quilken base was one of Baobab's primary roonstone processes centers. (OWS)

Quill, Caiza
This scheming X'Ting individual served as the regent and leader of his people for many years leading up to the Clone Wars, until he was deposed by G'Mai Duris in a surprising change of fortune. Adding insult to injury, Quill had to be outvoted when Duris suggested that the X'Ting allow Obi-Wan Kenobi to seek out the hidden eggs of their royal line. Descended from a family of the X'Ting assassin clan, Quill failed to earn the respect of his peers, despite the fact that he seemed to work hard to ease the growing dissent among the X'Ting, who had become the workers of choice for Cestus Cybernetics. It was later learned that the labor contracts he negotiated virtually enslaved the X'Ting to the offworld corporate bosses. In this way, Quill had sold out his own people as slaves in order to win contracts that earned him a position on the Five Families, assuming the directorship of mining. Because of this, and because it was feared that he might use the royal eggs hidden beneath the planet's surface as a way to regain favor with the Five Families, Quill was removed from his role as regent. He remained a member of the Five Families, until he could no longer abide by Duris's continued Regency. He challenged her to a duel, but was unprepared for her tactics. Rather than trying to fight, Duris merely stood in front of Quill's posturing, until fear began to crack his own resolve. Ultimately, Quill conceded the duel to Duris, but continued to work to undermine her authority. Later, Quill was 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. (HIV, TCD)

Quill, Magris
This Anomid was known as an upstanding businessbeing and community supporter. In reality, he was one of the New Republic's most successful fences. (GG11)

Quill, Raina
This female humanoid served as a commander in the resistance that sprang up to oppose the Imperial occupation of Acherin, in the wake of the Clone Wars. She was a former military officer who served during the Clone Wars, when her government had sided with the Conferedacy of Independent Systems. She was also trained as a medic. After the command was given to execute Order 66, the Acherins found themselves subjugated by the Empire, instead of negotiating a peace treaty with the Old Republic. Raina joined her commanding officer, General Toma, in establishing a resistance to the Imperials.

Their efforts brought them into contact with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ferus Olin, who were trying to escape from Inquisitor Malorum. Toma and Raina agreed to help get the former Jedi off Acherin, using Toma's own starship to escape. Raina and Toma then agreed to oversee the operations of the remote asteroid Ferus had set up as a haven for any fugitive Jedi Knights, and helped Garen Muln recover from his own isolation. However, unknown to Raina was the fact that Toma had been secretly contacted by the Empire, and offered the chance to take over as planetary ruler of Acherin in exchange for information on Ferus Olin and the Moonstrike resistance movement. Toma's argument was that he had a chance to restore Acherin to a peaceful world, instead of a world torn apart by civil war.

Raina refused to allow him to jeopardize the resistance, and pulled out her blaster. Just as she fired, however, Toma drew and fired his own weapon. The blast hit Raina square in the chest, knocking her to the ground. As she faded away into death, Raina felt like she had been transported back to her childhood bedroom on Acherin. (LJ2, LJ3, LJ10)

Quill Knife
This was a traditional Bitthaevrian weapon. (AIR)

Quillan
This Imperial Moff was one of the few who survived deep into the tenure of the New Republic. Quillan was one of the Moffs present when Admiral Pellaeon delivered his proposal for surrender to the Republic, and it was Quillan who immediately questioned Pellaeon's ability to lead the Imperial Navy. His protests were cut short by Moff Disra, who saw a way to insinuate Pellaeon's peace treaty into his own plans. (SOP)

Quillarat
Native to Kashyyyk, these small mammals stood about a half-meter tall. They had mottled green-brown fur, which they used as camouflage to hide in the dense jungle foliage. When attacked, quillarats launched their needle-sharp quills at their attacker. Wookiees often hunted quillarats bare-handed as a demostration of their skill. Only males were allowed to hunt them, and a captured quillarat was often presented to a female Wookiee as an engagement present. If the female ate the tender flesh of the quillarat's belly, it meant that she accepted the male's betrothal. (RD, NEGA)

Quille
This Imperial Grand Moff sat on the Moff Council during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Unlike some other Moffs, Quille did not support the Supreme Commander of the Imperial military, Gilad Pellaeon, and often opposed Pellaeon in the deliberations of the council. Unknown to most of his comrades, Moff Quille had been in communication with Jacen Solo, who had assumed control of the Galactic Alliance with Admiral Cha Niathal. Thus, when Solo offered to cede control of Borleias and Bilbringi in exchange for the support of the Imperial Navy in an attack on Fondor, Moff Quille was one of the first to offer support for the deal.

Although Pellaeon initially refused the offer, he and the Moff Council eventually agreed to accept the deal, and Pellaeon led a task force to Fondor. Quille was one of many Moffs who assumed military roles during the mission, and he was one of the first to speak up when Solo was relieved of command by Niathal during the fighting. He urged the other Moffs to take advantage of the situation and capture Fondor for themselves, while Solo and Niathal dragged the Galactic Alliance into disarray. His urging gave Pellaeon enough information to realize that Quille had been working with Solo all along.

After Pellaeon was assassinated by Tahiri Veila aboard the Bloodfin, Quille and the other Moffs tried to take control of the ship, but her crew mutinied upon learning of the Admiral's death. Led by Vitor Reige, the crew forced the Moffs to lock themselves in the ship's command center, where they hid until the ship was boarded by Boba Fett and his Mandalorian supercommandos. Fett had been hired by Admiral Daala for just such a contingency, and they infiltrated the command center and killed anyone who put up any resistance. Quille was among the dead, as were the other Moffs who supported him. (LF8)

Quiller, Abel
This alias was maintained by Talon Karrde during the early years of the New Republic, although he often had Dankin act as Quiller in order to avoid being recognized. According to the backstory developed for Quiller, he was the Captain of the Hab Camber, and was known as an impatient and "bombastic" individual. Captain Quiller was based on the Valrar. (TLC)

Quiller, Joak
This man was one of the many Imperial Stormtroopers who were stationed aboard the Star Destroyer Reprisal during the months following the Battle of Yavin. Quiller was known as an excellent pilot, but he made a poor passenger, especially when his unit was delivered to a planet's surface in a dropship. Like many of his squadmates, Quiller began to question his continued loyalty to the Empire, especially after the destruction of the planet Alderaan. Thus, they were not totally surprised when ISB agent Dreflin accused them of deliberately missing shots, when ordered to fire on a group of suspected Alliance sympathizers on the planet Teardrop. What did surprise them was Daric LaRone's shooting of Major Dreflin, an act that they quickly decided was self-defense. With little future left in the Empire, the squad stole Dreflin's Suwantek TL-1800 and fled the ship.

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

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

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

Quill-head
An alien race. (TME)

One of six Kathol Republic Marauder-class corvettes sent to rescue the Bravado III from attack, shortly after the FarStar offered assistance. The 195-meter vessel was armed with eight double turbolaser cannons and three tractor beam projectors. (KO)

Quin, Sixtus
This huge, dark-skinned human was a member of the Imperial Special Forces unit under the command of Marl Semtin. During the search for the Eidolon, Sixtus and his team were sent to Ryloth to intercept Rogue Squadron before they could recover Firith Olan. Sixtus and fellow agent Septaas were pitted against Wedge Antilles abd Winter by Cazne'Olan in a virtual-reality battle to determine who would obtain Firith. Sixtus and Septaas defeated the Rogues, but all four were swept away in a firestorm. When he learned that Semtin had taken Firith off Ryloth himself, Sixtus became suspicious of Semtin's loyalties. When he discovered Semtin at Eidolon Base trying to build his own empire, Sixtus executed Semtin and - along with his entire unit - defected to the New Republic. He joined a team of infiltrators, led by former Rogue Elscol Loro, and specialized in the liberation of worlds from the ground. One of the most notable worlds Sixtus and his team liberated was Thyferra. Working with Rogue Squadron - which had resigned its New Republic commission - they managed to obtain help from the native Vratix and took control of the bacta production. (XWBT, BW)

This given name was common human males across the galaxy. (GCG)

Quinn, Dorak
This man was considered one of the most honorable big-game hunters on the planet Tatooine, during the era of the Great Sith War. He was among the first hunters to vocally object to the tactics of Tanis Venn, who used reprogrammed battle droids in hunting the wild creatures of Tatooine. (KOTOR)

Quintad
This was the name given to the oligarchal government of the planet Eriadu. The Quintad was formed from a group of five Corulag-based families migrated from their homeworld to Eriadu, some 900 years before the Battle of Yavin. Under the guidance of the Quintad, Eriadu changed from a backwater world known for its sell jewelry to an ambitious, entrepreneurial manufacturing center. (GORW)

A planetary nebula in an uncharted sector of the galaxy. Tron Nixx once navigated the multi-colored clouds by tapping the Force. (SWJ5)

Quintas, Xerxes
This spice lord, native to the planet Sevarcos, controlled the planet's Southern Deserts. At the height of the New Order, Quintas was one of the most powerful of the Spice Lords of Sevarcos. He was despised by the locals, however, because he had developed an alliance with the Imperial forces on the planet to strip-mine the deserts for carsunum and andris. (SWJ2, SWJ12)

Quintberry
This fruit-bearing shrub was native to the planet Romin. The small berries were pressed to produce an overly-sweet juice that was popular among the Romins. (JQ8)

Quintell, Pallas
This former Imperial naval gunner left the service after his hitch was up, preferring the more raucous lifestyle of a pirate. He served under Jondrell Inx for several years, developing a friendship based more on Pallas' efforts than Jondrell's. A brush with the Alliance helped turn Pallas from mere pirate to Alliance supporter, and he left Jondrell's band to become the nominal leader of the rebel cell on Kallistas. Many years later, Jondrell came to Kallistas to ask for Pallas' help in a scheme to sell off Cressis Linrec. Pallas reluctantly agreed to help. However, Pallas was captured by Chandrex Grenn and Sirenas Firil before he could be of much assistance. (GG10)

Quinto
This was the primary crop grown on the planet Kegan. The grain of the wheat-like quinto plant was mashed into tasteless patties and fed to the children who were educated in the Learning Circle. (FFT, RF4)

Quintus System
This star system was known for the amount of spice smuggling traffic which passed through it, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (DH)

Quinze
This man was one of the Peacekeeperrs who protected the survivors of the Outbound Flight Project, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (SQ)

Quire, Koi
This female Firrerreo, distinguished by her golden skin, colorful hair, and lavender eyes, worked as an insurance adjustor for the Core Health and Life Insurance Consortium, during the years following the Alliance-Confederation War. Her eyes were protected by a nictitating mebrane, and her curled hair grew in rainbow-colored tresses. During the Yuuzhan Vong War, her family was forced to abandon their home on Firrerre, and managed to flee with other refugess to the planet Belderone. Koi Quire was placed in charge of the strange case of Tobb Jadak, who had survived the crash of the Stellar Envoy at the end of the Clone Wars, but remained in a coma for sixty-two years before he was revived by Doctor Lial Sompa. She revealed to Jadak that the Republic Group had taken out an insurance policy in his name, which had been slowly gathering interest while he was in stasis at the Aurora Medical Facility. Unknown to most beings, Koi Quire was not her real name, and she was secretly in the employ of Lestra Oxic. She had joined his law firm during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong War, and Oxic considered her a rare artifact as much as a valuable asset. After delivering Jadak's payment, Koi Quire returned to Oxic's side to report on Jadak's recovery. (MF)

Quirt
This Imperial Colonel once pursued Han Solo and Chewbacca into the Maw during a Kessel Run just before the Battle of Yavin. Quirt patrolled the sector surrounding Kessel looking for illegal activity, with the goal of using captured smugglers as slave labor on Kessel. Han and Chewie dumped their spice and marked its location before Quirt intercepted them, but he found nothing in the Millennium Falcon's holds to arrest them with. Han and Chewie later returned to the Maw and retrieved the spice. They tried this tactic shortly after the Battle of Ylesia, but were unable to find the spice. This left Han deeply in debt to Jabba the Hutt, and forced him to go to ground on Tatooine. (RD, MCI1)

Quirz, Dal
This Kadrillian served as an unwitting liaison to the Empire, during the height of the New Order. Dal Quirz and his scientists agreed to grow kunda stones for the Imperials, despite her species' peaceful nature. Unknown to Dal Quirz, Darth Vader had ordered the kunda stones for use as natural filters of pacifog. She was easily subdued when Vader used a small sample of the pacifog on her, enhancing her natural gullability to make her believe the kunda stones were to be used for non-military purposes. (LAT3)

Quis, Cola
This Twi'lek Senator from Ryloth served on the New Republic's Commerce Council, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. In the wake of the Battle of Coruscant, Cola Quis was one of several Senators who were considered to replaced Borsk Fey'lya as the Republic's Chief of State. However, Cola Quis dropped out of the race and threw his support to Cal Omas, after Omas promised him the chairmanship of the Commerce Council should he be elected. Omas also offered him a branch office of the Kellmer Institute, based on the planet Ryloth. (DW)

Quist
This childhood friend of Adar Tallon was not as focused or outgoing as Tallon was. Quist was always looking out for himself, and wanted to pursue the life of a spacer. Through it all, he remained close to Tallon. When Tallon decided that he had had enough of the New Order, Quist agreed to help Tallon stage his death. It was Quist who was in command of the pirate ship that attacked and destroyed the Battalion in the Dalchon System, and Quist kept Tallon's secret for a number years. When he was suddenly apprehended by the Relentless and Captain Parlan, Quist bargained for his life with the information on Tallon. Parlan let Quist go free, provided that Quist return to Tallon and act as a safety valve if Jodo Kast failed to capture Tallon. Thus, Quist infiltrated Tallon's compound on Tatooine and nearly betrayed his former friend. (TM)

Quist
This man served the Empire as an Admiral in the Imperial Navy during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Admiral Quist was in command of the Star Destroyer Conqueror, that served as Darth Vader's flagship shortly after the Battle of Yavin, after Vader returned to the Empire and began searching for Luke Skywalker. When the Millennium Falcon re-appeared at Yavin 4, to begin assisting the Alliance with locating a suitable planet for its new base, Vader ordered Admiral Quist to capture the freighter. Han Solo, however, avoided capture by flying into a nearby asteroid field. Quist ordered that the Imperial pursuit be cut off when most of his TIE Fighters were destroyed by asteroids. Unfortunately, Vader was not pleased with Quist's inability to capture the ship, and used the Force to choke Quist to death. (3D2, 3D3)

Quivry
This creature, native to the moon Antar 4, was the chief prey of the Gotal race. Individual quivry were distinguished by their antlers, which were prized as trophies for hunters of all races. (GG4, GMR1)

Quiyyen
This Anx served as an Ambassador to the Old Republic, during the last years of the Old Republic. He was captured by General Grievous, about two years after the Battle of Geonosis, and held captive on the planet Vandos. His capture was part of a trap that Grievous laid to lure a contingent of Jedi Knights to the planet, where he planned to simply murder them. Although Quiyyen was ultimately rescued, only Flynn Kibo managed to survive the rescue. (SWGG)

Quizzer
This curious creature inhabits the upper levels of the forests which blanket the temperate regions of Gamorr. These mischievous little climbers were generally harmless, but have a penchant for stealing shiny objects. The average quizzer stands less than a meter tall, and was roughly humanoid in stature. A row of spade-shaped spines runs along their spine, and they use their clawed hands and prehensile tail to climb in the trees. They were poorly adapted for walking on the ground, however, and remain in the trees for much of their lives. Despite their reptilian appearance, quizzers were mammals, and produce live offspring. The communicate in a simple language of squeaks and barks, and feed mainly on fruits and leaves. (SWJ10, COG)

Qukuuf
This was the Kiffar word that described the jet-black tattoos that were worn by Kiffar individuals. (LF8)

Qulok's Fist
This small bounty hunters' guild was active during the last years of the Galactic Civil War and into the New Republic. Based on the modified freighter Steel Fist, the gang started ouf working in the Minos Cluster of the galaxy and eventually expanded into Kathol Sector. (DARK)

Qulun
This clan of Ansionians was unusual among the Alwari in that they were willing to go into the cities of the offworlders. While most Alwari stayed well away from the urban areas, the Qulun moved through them quite readily. The Qulun were known among the Alwari as traders and information brokers, a clan which was not well-liked by served an important purpose on the open plains. The Qulun caravan was filled with all manner of goods and wares, from the basic fruits and dried meats consumed by the Ansionians to rare, handcrafted items and offworld bric-a-brac. The Qulun operated on a barter system, and often traded information for trinkets. Most of the other Alwari clans stayed away from the Qulun, and many Ansionians considered the Qulun to be separate from the Alwari. (APS)

Qu'Mock Station
This space station was the primary settlement of the Qektoth Confederation, and was located in the Kathol Outback near Uukaablis. It was originally commissioned as a scientific outpost aimed at exploring the region of space near Gandle Ott, but the station disappeared just months after beginning its work. Records discovered later explain that the station was hijacked by a group of escaped criminals led by a team of crimelors, and the station was towed back to their hidden base for refitting. When the pirates' homeworld was beseiged with earthquakes and rendered unlivable, the station was abandoned until it was found by Drigir Tarrens. Tarrens told the Qektoth Confederation of its existence, and it was restored for their own uses. The Qektoth placed the station in an empty region of space near Uukaablis, so that they could perform their research in peace. Qu'mock Station was a long, needle-shaped station guided by four huge solar fins deployed at the stern. (KO)

Quockra-4
This planet, located in the Minos Cluster, was covered with flat, featureless deserts. The planet's environment was essentially that of a huge desert, with scorching days and frigid nights. The most obvious inhabitants of the planet were a strange society of droids. Most of the droids were Imperial designs, but some have unknown origins. The droids have developed a sort of hierarchical society of their own, and remain more or less uninvolved with Quockra-4's native sentient lifeform, the Quockrans. The planet had an average rotation of 31 standard hours, and its year lasted 402 local days. (GG6)

Quockran
This was the only sentient race native to the planet Quockra-4. The average Quockran was an enormous, black-skinned slug which lived below the surface of the planet during the day, emerging at night as the desert cools. It was the Quockrans who built the strange droids which populate the surface of their planet, creating them to interact with offworlders. The Quockrans despise non-Quockrans, although they were in no way violent about it. They just dislike alien creatures. (GG6)

Quoia
This was once of the many names given to Duros females. Among the Duros, it meant "evening star". (GCG)

Quold Runium
This fuel additive was used to pressurize power fluids prior to activation. (X1)

Quoorian Marshsucker
This was an immense, predatory species of insects. (KOTOR)

Quoreal
This Yuuzhan Vong served as the Supreme Overlord of his species during the years before Shimrra rose to the position. It was the priests who served under Quoreal who realized that the discovery of Zonama Sekot would have grave consequences for the Yuuzhan Vong, and many suggested that the Yuuzhan Vong avoid the galaxy altogether. Their research had found prophecies that claimed the discovery of a living planet would undo the Yuuzhan Vong completely. Although Shimrra claimed that he defeated Quoreal in combat in order to make his ascension, many Yuuzhan Vong secretly wondered if this was true. There were stories that Quoreal's stance against invading the galaxy had angered Shimrra and the other leaders who demanded a new galaxy for the Yuuzhan Vong to conquer. Rumors spread that Shimrra killed Quoreal in order to gain the power required to begin the invasion. After Shimrra ascended to the throne and the invasion of the New Republic began in earnest, the Yuuzhan Vong won many victories and much of this heretical discussion faded into the background. However, as the Jedi Heresy gained strength among the Shamed Ones, and as the Yuuzhan Vong forces began to suffer defeat after defeat, the questions about Shimrra's gods-given right to rule resurfaced even stronger than before. Those who believed Quoreal had been dishonorably murdered, known as the Quorealists, began to gain a louder voice, especially after the realization that the Eighth Cortex was empty, and the living planet of Zonama Sekot actually existed. Others began to wonder if Quoreal had wanted to find a peace with the New Republic and learn more about Zonama Sekot, since the planet seemed to provide a linkage between the Yuuzhan Vong and the peoples of the Republic. (FP, UF)

Quorealists
This was the name given to those Yuuzhan Vong who did not believe Supreme Overlord Shimrra's claims that he defeated former Overlord Quoreal in combat in order to make his ascension. After the invasion of the New Republic began in earnest, and many victories were won, much of this heretical discussion faded into the background. However, as the Jedi Heresy gained strength among the Shamed Ones, and as the Yuuzhan Vong forces began to suffer defeat after defeat, the questions about Shimrra's gods-given right to rule resurfaced even stronger than before. Those Quorealists who believed Quoreal had been dishonorbaly murdered began to gain a louder voice, especially after the realization that the Eighth Cortex was empty, and the living planet of Zonama Sekot actually existed. Others began to wonder if Quoreal had wanted to find a peace with the New Republic and learn more about Zonama Sekot, since the planet seemed to provide a linkage between the Yuuzhan Vong and the peoples of the Republic. When the living planet suddenly appeared near Coruscant and wrought major seismic and ecological upheaval, the Quorealists grew more vocal, and began releasing more information on Shimrra's treachery to the general populace. (FP, UF)

Quori City
This sprawling metropolis was the capital city of Corlass. It had a dense, endless system of alleyways and dead-ends, much like those of Imperial City on Coruscant. (SWJ5)

Quor'sav
A warm-blooded, avian/monotreme species whose average height was about 3.5 meters, Quor'savs were native to the planet Uaua. When a group of colonists arrived on Uaua, the Quor'sav initially welcomed them. However, when a virus that had been carried by the colonists to the planet began infecting the Quor'sav, the avians were forced to stop all immigration until a cure could be found. Since this time, the Quor'sav have been reluctant to trust other species, especially mammalian races. A Quor'sav can be seen walking by the screen as Luke Skywalker sells his landspeeder in Star Wars. (E4, CCG, GMR5)

Quor'sav-fried Steak
This was a recipe for pan-frying a nerf steak or other tender cut of meat. The original recipe was believed to have originated on the planet Uaua, and has been copied and emulated by chefs throughout the galaxy. This breakfast dish was usually served with a thick, white gravy. (OWS)

Quosit
This large insect was native to the planet Rhommamool. Measuring some twenty-five centimeters across, the average quosit was a six-legged invertebrate that had a body that was protected by a chitinous exoskeleton. The head was virtually indistinguishable from the rest of the body, which served as a for of protection against other predators. A set of wings could be extended from the back of the body, allowing the quosit to quickly escape a dangerous situation. Quosit reproduction was accomplished through the use of a host, in which the quosit female laid her fertilized eggs. The parents then abandoned the eggs, going about their own business until they died just three days later. The eggs, when they hatched in a few days, produced self-sufficient larvae that needed immediate sustenance in order to continue their growth cycle. This source of food was the living host in which the parents laid the eggs, and the growing insects ate greedily. However, the growing insects rarely killed their host, instead taking what they needed to survive before leaving to start life as adults. Most creatures, including humans and humanoid races, felt a brief period of weakness that passed with bedrest and proper nutrition. (UA)

Qurgg
This was a common name among the Elom race. (UANT)

Q'urh Kick
This was a form of kicking attack used by Yuuzhan Vong warriors in melee combat. (FP)

This noted poet was one of the surviving members of the Abinyshi race. (SWJ14)

Quul
This was the second of seven seasons experienced on the planet Guiteica. (AE)

Quulaar
These huge, woven sacks were used by Wookiees to raise and lower visitors to their villages. The Wookiees usually carry the quulaars, but they can also be attached to ropes. The term quulaar literally translates to 'baby sack,' and refers to the fact that the sacks were originally created to transport infant Wookiees. (RD)

Quvil Valley
During the height of the Galactic Civil War, this valley was controlled by the Empire, which desired that output of the many mines which lined the valley. Alliance forces tried many times to take Quvil Valley, but were never successful. (WOTC)

Quyste
Talon Karrde maintained a training facility on this planet, shortly after the Battle of Endor. (TFNR)

Quy'Tek
This was a meditative technique developed by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. It was used primarily to mask an individual's connection to the Force, allowing a Jedi to pass unnoticed, even to other Force-sensitive beings. (TCD)

Q-Varx
This Mon Calamari New Republic Senator was one of the primary leaders of the Rationalist Party. It was also believed that she was part of the plans of Seti Ashgad, since Ashgad received information about the Republic from a source in the Rationalist Party. It was later revealed that Q-Varx had taken a huge bribe from Ashgad and Dymurra to coordinate the poisoning of Carlist Rieekan with the disappearance of Leia Organa-Solo. Although it was believed that Q-Varx was ignorant of Dzym's part in the overall plan, Q-Varx was nonetheless arrested for treason and imprisoned. There was some inconsistency in Planet of Twilight, in that Q-Varx was refered to as both 'he' and 'she.' (POT)

Qwohog
An alien race, also known as the Wavedancers, native to the planet Hirsi. They were an aquatic species, living in the freshwater riviers and lakes of Hirsi and feeding on fish and plant material. They were a seemingly small, delicate race of humanoids, but their were very strong and agile. They were covered with dark skin punctuated by raised scales on their heads, wrists, ankles, and wastes. They have long, pointed ears which can pick up the modulated sounds waves they send through the water as a form of communication. These sound waves don't carry well in air, so Qwohogs use a crude sign language when out of the water. They can survive out of the water for short periods, but must keep their skin moist or risk rapid and debilitating dehydration. They also cannot exist in saltwater, for it burns their gills and damages their lungs. They were known as Wavedancers because of the fluid, ballet-like way they move across the surface of the water. Their lives were directed at survival and leisure, and they have barely risen above primitive tool technology. They were unaware of the presence of rudic crystals in their environment, which brought them into contact with the Alliance. The Alliance offered friendship and nothing more in return for the ability to mine the crystals, but the Empire had other ideas. Imperial forces slew the Alliance team and raped Hirsi of its resources. The Qwohog were powerless of stop it. When the suuply of rudic crystals dried up, however, the Empire simply left. An Alliance rescue team arrived, and the Qwohogs helped explain what happened. They pledged whatever support they could muster to the Alliance, and helped establish a secure base of operations there. Some Qwohogs have left Hirsi, working for the Alliance and later the New Republic. (GG12)

Qwohog
This was the name given to the unusual form of verbal communication used by the Qwohog race. It employed the use of sound waves generated in a variety of patterns to communicate words. While this form of communication worked well under water, it could not be spoken across long distances in the air. There was no written form of the Qwohog language, although Qwohog Sign Language was used to communicate across distances whenever the Qwohogs were out of the water. (UANT)

Qwohog Sign Language
This form of communication was developed by the Qwohog race, and was used whenever they needed to communicate while out of the water. When the Qwohog joined the galactic community, this sign language was eventually replaced by the Basic alphabet, although knowledge of the sign language remained part of the Qwohog heritage. (UANT)

Qwot
This man worked as a personal aide to Linkaas. (SWJ1)
