The Exile managed to repair the glitch, freeing S4-C8 from its unusual desire to play pazaak. (KOTOR2)

S-4QD
This protocol droid was the only non-organic entity left on the moon of Tilnes, at the time of the Battle of Naboo. S-4QD remained on Tilnes even after the Verga Mer Mining Company instituted its "purely organic workforce," because it served as a representative for the droid manufacturing centers on Uffel. S-4QD was unsure why it was left on Tilnes, although it understood that its role was of an advisor.

Saa, T'ra
This Jedi Master was the watchman of the planetary sector which contained the twin planets of Kiffex and Kiffu, during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. A tall, female Neti, T'ra Saa often moved about in humanoid form, with yellow skin and a collection of thick tendrils atop her head in the place of hair. She lacked a prominent nose, instead having a pair of small flaps in between her eyes. It was T'ra Saa who first discovered the resurgence of Dark Side energy that eminated from Volfe Karkko, after the Anzati was released from his stasis field by Aayla Secura. When Master T'ra Saa arrived at Kiffex to investigate, she was shot down by the Guardians of Kiffu and stranded on the planet. She eventually met up with Quinlan Vos and the two Jedi Masters, Tholme and Zao, and their combined strength helped them defeat the Anzati Sith magician.

During the Clone Wars, she was one of the many Jedi Masters who reluctantly assumed the rank of General for the Old Republic, and saw action on Devaron and Geonosis during this time. Some seventeen months after the Battle of Geonosis, Master Saa was badly wounded on Null, when the Republic's forces were attacked by bounty hunters from the Crimson Nova chapter. In order to survive, she pulled a stand of trees down atop their position, hoping that Jedi Master Mace Windu would eventually find them. During the fight, however, Nazzer managed to recover her lightsaber, in order to claim the bounty on her life. Windu arrived shortly afterward and located their position, but Master Saa was forced to spend a great deal of time in a bacta tank to recover from her wounds. As she recovered, Master Saa worked with the seemingly mindless body of Depa Billaba, working diligently to try and return the female Jedi to her normal self. It was during this period of reflection that Mace Windu returned from The Rig, and gave back the lightsaber she had lost on Null. Tholme and Tra Saa then traveled to Nar Shaddaa to locate Khaleen Hentz, but were stranded there when the command was given to execute Order 66. Thus, they were able to survive the initial killings of the Jedi Purge, and later accompanied Khaleen to Kashyyyk, where she gave birth to her son.

However, after the death of Master Tholme on Anzat, it was believed that Master T'ra Saa took root at the site of Tholme's funeral pyre, and remained there for many decades. The natives believed that she was nothing more than a tree, and so never questioned her presence on their planet. Eventually, however, Master T'ra Saa saw fit to take up her roots and join the rest of the Jedi, although it was not known exacting when she arrived at the Hidden Temple on Taivas. She revealed little of her history following the Clone Wars, but soon became one of the oldest living Jedi in the galaxy, and served as the leader of the Jedi Council that led the beings who lived in the Hidden Temple. In this role, Master T'ra Saa met with delegates from the Imperial Knights, who followed Cade and Nay Skywalker to the Hidden Temple, some seven years after the Massacre at Ossus. She was reluctant to hear the Imperial Knights, but Princess Marasiah Fel explained their presence on Taivas and why the Jedi should consider an alliance with Emperor Roan Fel.

T'ra Saa believed that an alliance might reap benefits, but not for many decades, since the Jedi gathered at the Hidden Temple were too few in number. When Cade Skywalker suggested an assassination attempt on Darth Krayt, she was taken aback. Her mood did not lighten when Skywalker explained that Darth Krayt was actually A'Sharad Hett, and that he was slowly dying from the Yuuzhan Vong implants in his body. Pushing through the stunned silence, Skywalker explained that the Sith were beginning to splinter, and that the time was perfect to eliminate Darth Krayt and smash the Sith. Master T'ra Saa could not condone the outright assassination of another being, even if it were to help restore peace to the galaxy. When she was pressed by Nat Skywalker to do something in order to prevent another disaster like the one on Mon Calamari, T'ra Saa feared that any deliberate attack would only make the Jedi just like the Sith.

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. (DRKN, WOTC, RSF, OWS, RHE, SWLHT)

Saadoon-Kauldi
A crimelord active during the Galactic Civil War, Saadoon-Kauldi was recruited to the world of Socorro by Abdi-Badawzi to help expand the presence of Ethra Brewery and other Socorran businesses beyond the Socorran System. A member of the Kadri'Ra species, it was rumored that Kauldi was enslaved and transported on a slaveship with the great-grandfather of Abdi-Badawzi, and that he was freed when the Badawzi family arranged for the ship to be attacked and the slaves freed. Abdi-Badawzi called on a "debt of honor" when he recruited Kauldi, promising a portion of the profits from the Ethra Brewery as well as a stronghold on the planet Neftali. Kauldi eventually agreed, hoping to begin a working relationship with the Society of the Black Bha'lir as well. Pret Swain later supplied a bulk cruiser for Kauldi to use as a personal transport, which he named the Merkel and used as an orbiting base near Neftali. However, the plight of his people - enslaved by the Empire - was never far from Kauldi's mind. He also never forgot the fact that he himself was a former slave, and he worked hard to free slaves and give them positions in his organization where warranted. (SWJ5, BSS)

Saadul
An alien race. (JE)

Saago
This species of grass was found on near the deserts and beaches of the planet Naboo. Its blades were tall and brittle, and had a greenish-gray color. The Gungans harvested large amounts of saago grass and boiled it in the sap of the rutiger tree. This softened and strengthened the saago grass to the point that it could be manipulated. The pliable blades were then woven into a heavy cloth that was used by soldiers as a natural armor covering. (GF)

Saak'ak
This was the name of the Neimoidian freighter which Nute Gunray and Rune Haako used to launch their blockade of the Naboo System with Darth Sidious. The ship was visually just a simple freighter of the horseshoe-designed favored by the Trade Federation, but was well armed and protected. The name Saak'ak translated into Basic as Profiteer. Note that Star Wars: The New Essential Guide to Characters indicates that the Saak'ak was the Droid Control Ship destroyed in the Battle of Naboo. (DMSH, COD, NEGC)

Saal, Charsae
This male Kel Dor was a member of the Baran Do Sages, during the years that followed the Swarm War. He was considered short for a member of his race, and his brisk pace belied his true age. Although the Baran Do philosophy often claimed to eschew combat, Master Saal served as the senior combat instructor at the Baran Do estate in the city of Dor'shan, on the planet Dorin. When Luke Skywalker arrived on Dorin some three years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, Master Saal spent some time working with Ben Skywalker and Tistura Paan, while Luke met with Tila Mong. Master Saal later explainde to Ben that he had accepted death, and would die some time during the coming days. This made Tistura Paan quite sad, prompting Ben to ask if Saal's family was sad about the event. Master Saal explained that he would see his family members quite soon, and that the acceptance of death was natural to the Kel Dor. On the day of Saal's death, Ben noticed that several of the Baran Do Masters were even sadder than Tistura Paan had been. He found this strange, since the Kel Dors were supposed to "accept death" as a normal part of life.

Ben and Luke were invited to Charsae Saal's farewell ceremony, although Luke realized that the funeral was actually a ruse, and that Charsae Saal only pretended to die. In the evening after the ceremony, Luke and Ben returned to the site and discovered a secret passage below a platform, and soon were reunited with Charsae Saal. Tila Mong then explained that the Skywalkers could accompany Saal into the "next life", which involved a long trip by railcar to a location deep beneath the surface of Dorin. There, Charsae Saal joined other Kel Dor in the caverns of the Hidden One, where he hoped to preserve the history and knowledge of his people. As part of the "death" he had accepted, Charsae Saal dropped his given name and chose the name Chara. He then assisted the Skywalkers in acclimating to their new home. (FJ1)

Saar, Trobe
This Fallanassi lived on the planet Teyr with Norika, in the years following the evacuation of Lucazec. (SOL)

Saar, Valara
This woman was a member of the Force-sensitive Yashuvhi, and was living on the planet Yashuvhu when the crew of the Old Republic exploration vessel Pathfinder III located their planet. She was eager to learn more about the Jedi Knights, and spent a great deal of time with the team from the Old Republic learning what she could. She convinced the crew of the Pathfinder III to take her with them when they returned to their base. Valara wandered the galaxy for many years, learning everything she could about the civilizations she encountered, before returning to Yashuvhu to share her experiences. She was deemed a Prophetess, and spent the rest of her life training the Yashuvhi in the use of the Force. (SWRPG, WOTC)

Saarai
This was the name used by Nikkos Tyris to describe his melding of Jedi and Sith teachings. Known as the True Way, the Saarai was considered one of the only true unions of the light and dark sides of the Force, combining Tyris' own training as a Jedi with the lore he discovered from the tomes of Volfe Karkko. After defining what the Saarai was, Tyris left the Jedi Order along with a handful of followers. Although Tyris was eventually destroyed, his apprentice kept the teachings of the Saarai alive, and brought the teachings to Susevfi. There, she managed to integrate them with the writings of Larad Noon, creating a further melding of light and dark sides of the Force. (OWS)

Saarai-kaar
This was the highest rank any of the Jensaarai Force users could achieve. At any point in time, there could only be one Saarai-kaar among the Jensaarai, much the same as there was only one Dark Lord of the Sith. Like the other Jensaarai, the Saarai-kaar wore cortosis-covered armor. Nikkos Tyris was one of the most powerful of the Saarai-kaar, until he was defeated by Nejaa Halcyon. When Leonia Tavira twisted the Jensaarai to her uses, she made them believe that a Halcyon would be their undoing unless they served her. How she discovered Corran Horn's true identity was a mystery, but she kidnapped Mirax Terrik and made the Jensaarai hold her on Suarbi 7/5 in order to draw Corran into her trap. The Saarai-kaar believed the charade whole-hearted, especially after Tavira shot the former Imperial governor and claimed to be liberating the natives of Suarbi 7/5 from Imperial control. When Corran and Luke Skywalker assaulted suarbi 7/5 in an effort to free Mirax, they came up against Tavira, the Saarai-karr and the combined might of the Jensaarai. Luke took care of the warriors while Corran battle their female leader. She nearly had him, until he recognized the fighting style she used from his vision of Halcyon's death, and implanted an image of Tyris in her mind. Her momentary lapse in concentration dropped her defenses, and Mirax stunned her with several blasters from her own weapon. When she awoke later on, she accused Luke and Corran of prolonging her death, but Elegos A'kla used his memnii of her husband's and Nikkos Tyris' deaths to try and convince her of the truth in their words. She chose not to believe, revealing that the Jensaarai were descended from Force users who had learned of Sith magics, but their number died with Tyris. The new Saarai-kaar continued to believe the Jedi were wrong, but actually trained her disciples with the light side of the Force. The word Saarai-kaar was a Sith term meaining "keeper of the truth." When Emperor Palpatine began his Jedi purge, his discovery of Force users on Suarbi 7/5 led him to send Darth Vader there. Rather than accept the allegiance of the new Saarai-kaar's son, Vader killed him as a Jedi, since he lacked the Sith magic. (IJ)

Saarge
This crimelord ran a top-notch organization during the height of the New Order. His mercenaries and hired thugs were always well-armed, finely attired, and smugly confident in their abilities. (GMS)

Saaris, Vika
This was the name of a distinguished Togruta individual. (UANT)

Sa'arli
This Tarasin served as an aide to Senator Lavina Wren of Cularin, during the early years of the Clone Wars. She was distinguished from other Tarasin by an unusual tattoo of a snakelike lizard on her face. The tail of the lizard ran from her jawline up to and around her ear-slit. Just after the Battle of Geonosis, Sa'arli hired a group of freelance agents to investigate a possible smugglers' base that had been established on Ostfrei, in an effort to forestall any trouble that might arise from their presence in the Cularin System. Both Senator Wren and Sa'arli secretly feared that the base had not been built by smugglers, but was actually a Thaereian outpost in the system. Thus, they hired independent spacers to eliminate any obvious connection to the Cularin Militia. (LFCW, WGT)

Saarn
This backwater, Outer Rim world was once the site of a major Alliance base. This base served the sector as an intelligence and communications relay station. It was abandonded following the Battle of Endor, when the Star Destroyer Stormhawk entered the system and destroyed the base. The New Republic dispatched a team to reclaim the base. (SWJ6)

Saarrj, Izbela
This woman served as a Lieutenant in the Imperial Forensic Intelligence agency, during the height of the New Order. Lieutenant Saarrj was part of the New Crime Vector Warning team, which investigated the trends in criminal activity to pinpoint troublesome individuals before they became too powerful. It was the investigation of Lieutenant Saarrj that brought the activities of Tyber Zann to light. (SWI89)

Saaryu
This man served the Imperial Navy as a starfighter pilot aboard the Garret, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. He was among the many pilots who felt that the beam-weapon technology that was developed by Admiral Zaarin was of little benefit to the Empire. (TIEP)

Saato
This Nightsister from Dathomir agreed to become one of the early leaders of the military forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the build-up to the Clone Wars. She was killed by Anakin Skywalker, during the Old Republic's search for the source of cortosis-based battle droids on Metalorn. (NECH)

Saava Silk
This was one of the galaxy's finest fabrics. (SESB)

Saav'etu, Yaqeel
This young, golden-furred Bothan female was one of the many Jedi Knights who were trained by Luke Skywalker, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. Like a good number of her peers, Yaqeel was hidden at Shelter base during the height of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, in order to keep the young Jedi trainees safe during the conflict. Saav'etu was good friends with Valin and Jysella Horn, and was part of The Unit that they formed during their time on Coruscant. Yaqeel was known for her controlled use of her lightsaber in combat, and her restraint with the weapon was matched only by the restraint with which she chose her words during discussions. Unknown to Bazel Warv, Yaqeel held a soft spot in her heart for the huge Gamorrean, since she found his simple and true nature to be endearing. This did not, however, prevent Yaqeel from suddenly coming to the realizaton that Bazel was no longer the Jedi he once was. Like the Horn siblings, Yaqeel experienced a moment where she came to believe that the real Bazel had been replaced by a doppleganger. This moment occurred during a walk around the Temple Court, in plain sight of several news crews. Yaqeel drew her lightsaber in order to defend herself, prompting Bazel to do everything he could to steer her into the Jedi Temple and away from the news crews that were following them. Leia Organa Solo witnessed her drawing her lightsaber, and confronted Yaqeel about it. As Yaqeel tried to attack Not-Leia, Han Solo used small darts to inject Yaqeel with a tranquilizer, bringing the Bothan to her knees and eliminating her as a threat. Note that this character was named Yaqeel Saavis in Fate of the Jedi: Outcast. (FJ1, FJ2, FJ3)

Sab Rufo Academy
An institute of higher learning, Sab Rufo Academy maintained an oceanographic institute on Trieron. (PG1)

Saba
This was the alias used by the Dark Lady during her mission to infiltrate the estate of Vien'sai'malloc, during the height of the Clone Wars. Saba was the servant of Tuulaa Doneeta. The alias was discovered by Aurra Sing, who was secretly working for Vien'sai'malloc at the time. (J3)

Sabacc
A card game played in most every casino, sabacc used a standard deck of seventy-six cards. The deck was split into four suits and a set of face cards. The four suits were represented by sabres, coins, flasks, and staves; each suit had eleven regular cards numbered 1 through 11 and four ranked cards - the Commander, The Mistress, the Master, and the Ace. The ranked cards were valued from twelve to fifteen. The face cards - which some players considered to be a separate "suit" - were split into two groups of eight cards, with pairs having positive and negative values. Among the face cards were The Idiot (value zero), the Queen of Air and Darkness (positive or negative 2), Endurance (positive or negative eight), Balance (positive or negative eleven), Demise (positive of negative thirteen), Moderation (positive or negative fourteen), the Evil One (positive or negative fifteen), and the Star (positive or negative seventeen). Note that Lando Calrissian and the Mindharp of Sharu defines a sabacc deck of seventy-eight cards, while Galaxy of Fear 4 - The Nightmare Machine claims there were only seventy-two cards in a sabacc deck. Non-standard sabacc decks have included such face cards as Chance, Hazard, the Satellite, The Wheel, and The Destroyed Starship. Additionally, a ranked card known as the Legate was sometimes used, with a value less than that of the Commander.

The object of each hand was to come as close to positive or negative twenty-three as possible. A score of greater than twenty-three, less than negative twenty-three, or zero was known as a "bomb-out." A score of exactly twenty-three, either positive or negative, was known as a pure sabacc, although some casinos valued a positive twenty-three higher than a negative twenty-three. In addition to a hand that totaled to a value of twenty-three, any combination of The Idiot and two cards with the values two and three was known as an Idiot's Array, and was considered a literal twenty-three and therefore a sabacc. Note that Coruscant Nights II: Street of Shadows indicates that a sabacc was equal to a score of twenty, not twenty-three.. In a sabacc match, there were multiple rounds played, and wagering occured in each round. The winner of each rounnd won the contents of the hand pot, while the sabacc pot was kept separate for the winner of the entire match. According to most gaming experts, there were five major forms of sabacc played across the galaxy, including the Empress Teta Preferred system, the Cloud City Casino system, the Dune Sea system, Contract Sabacc, and the Bespin Standard system. Several other variants were created from these systems, including Random Sabacc, which used up to five different systems for each of the rounds in a given match.

Many beings, Lando Calrissian among them, claimed to be able to tell fortunes with a deck of sabacc cards. The various cards were used like tarot cards, and Lando considered the Commander of Staves to be a representation of himself. The Ryn nomad Droma claimed that the Ryn were the original inventers of the sabacc deck, but they used it as a spiritual training device: in other words, to tell fortunes Each suit represented an aspect of the individual's being - staves represented spiritual enterprise, flasks represented emotional states, saber represented mental pursuits, and coins represented material well-being. The ranked cards indicated individuals of specific inclination, and the face cards represented specific events or actions. (E5, LCM, HTTE, DA, HTSB, GOF4, HT, CN2)

Sabacc Face
This was a phrase that was used to describe a facial expression that failed to provide any clues as to the wearer's emotions. The phrase was based on a common practice used by sabacc players, who maintained a straight face regardless of what score their cards made up. Players whose facial expressions gave away a very good hand often found themselves losing their credits, while those who kept their faces emotionless could sometimes bluff their way to a win with a poor hand. (TFE)

Sabacc Mask
This was the term used by gamblers - especially sabacc players - to identify the completely expressionless face of a competitor. A sabacc mask betrayed no emotion, not even in the slightly twitch of an eyelash. A true sabacc mask was said to be unreadbale even by a Lorrdian. (MBS)

Sabacc Pot
This was the name given to the main collection of credits and goods which was reserved for certain in-game events. Whereas the winners of individual hands were awarded credits from the hand pot, only those players who achieved the specified goals could win the sabacc pot. The exact events or goals that were required to win the sabacc pot varied from system to system. Most systems reserved the sabacc pot for the overall winner of a given match. In the Bespin Standard system, the sabacc hand could be won by any player who scored either a pure sabacc or an Idiot's Array. (HTTE, DBPD)

Sabacc Shift
This was the name of Derrik's smuggling ship, a modified YT-1300 ligth freighter. (SWGAL)

Sabacc Solitaire
This was the term used to describe any of the one-player forms of sabacc. (TMEC)

Sabaoth Starfighter
This starfighter design incorporated a tiny, central body to which a pair of long, down- and forward-sloped wings was attached. The ship resembled an attacking bird of prey when flowin in battle. Laser cannons were mounted beneath the cockpit and at each wingtip, giving the Sabaoth fighter a wide firing arc. (TCG5)

Sabe'
This young Naboo woman was very similar in appearance to her Queen, Amidala. Sabe' served as one of Amidala's handmaidens, but also played a more important role. Like the other handmaidens, Sabe' was chosen by Captain Panak for her strength, loyalty, and resemblance to Amidala. As part of carefully maintained ruse, Amidala often wore elaborate clothing and make-up in public. This tended to mask her actual appearance somewhat. In times where the Queen's safety was at risk, Sabe' would take the Queen's place, dressing up in the clothing and make-up and acting as the Queen herself. Amidala, meanwhile, would assume the role of Padme Naberrie, another handmaiden. The pair had also worked a method of covert communication that they could use whenever Sabe acted as Queen and had to answer important questions. Thus, the deception was nearly flawless to anyone not familiar with Naboo. (E1, E1N, JQA)

Saber
This was the rank given to those members of the Sith Tribe that evolved on the planet Kesh who had passed the tests that separated them from Tyros and Apprentices. Sith Sabers were analogous to Jedi Knights, and were lower in rank than the Sith Masters. They were distinguished from other Sith by the silver trim that adorned their black robes. Upon attaining the rank of Saber, a Sith was given a private rooms and the right to acquire personal possessions. A blind eye was turned to the various indulgences and vanities a Saber wanted, as long as they conducted themselves with proper etiquette among the other Sith. (FJI, FJ2)

Saber Cat
This enormous, black-furred predator was native to the planet Monastery. Distinguished by the thick horn which grew from the crown of its skull, the saber cat had four huge paws, each of which ended with five clawed toes. The sisters of the Order of the Sacred Circle befriended a number of saber cats during their time on Monastery, keeping them as pets while allowing them to roam the rainforests like wild creatures. (MC35)

Saber Enterprises
A dummy corporation set up by the Empire as a front for its secret anti-espionage operations. It was run ostensibly by Renik during the Galactic Civil War. (SE, SESB)

Saber Rakes
This subclass of Tapani Sector's nobility was born from those youths who formed themselves into gangs and fought with lightfoils. These group had well-developed rivalries, and their feuds often ended in death. These events led the Great Council to ban the use of functioning lightfoils within the sector, a law which the Empire supported. Nonetheless, the Saber Rakes continue to duel, but newer rules prohibiting the killing of an opponent have been formed. (PGT)

Saber Squadron
Led by Soontir Fel, this TIE Interceptor squadron was formed to defend the second Death Star during its construction over the forest moon of Endor. Membership in the squadron required a minimum of ten kills by a pilot, and their fighters were painted with a bloodstripe to indicate their skills. The squadron was assigned the responsibility of protecting the Avenger during the Battle of Endor. (CCG11)

Saber Squadron
This was the name of Luke Skywalker's personal starfighter squadron, put together from Jedi and non-Jedi pilots in order to defend the Jedi Knights' base on Eclipse from Yuuzhan Vong invasion. This squadron was called to duty during the Second Battle of Coruscant, and took heavy losses. The survivors were redeployed to other units, including the Twin Suns Squadron commanded by Skywalker. (SBS, EL1)

Sabercat
A vicious predator with arm-long fangs. (SE)

Saber-class Fighter Tank
This was the designation of the TX-130 series of repulsor tanks produced by Rothana Heavy Engineering for use by the Army of the Republic, during the Clone Wars. (OWS, WOTC)

Saberdart
This was a unique form of projectile created by the Kaminoan race. The central dart was surrounded by two knife-like wings, and a series of unusual cuts along the side identified it as a Kaminoan design. (E2N)

Saber-fang
This vicious predator, named for its razor-sharp fangs, was native to the planet Saki. (MBS)

Saberjowl
This immense, oceanic predator was native to the seas of Kamino, although it was created from the genetic material of Naboo's colo claw fish. Measuring almost 100 meters in length, individual saberjowls had huge mouths that could consume a starfighter in a single bite. A pair of small claws - which many believed to be vestigial fangs - helped the saberjowl manipulate prey into its mouth. Documents maintained by the Kaminoan cloners revealed that the saberjowl was never supposed to have been released into the wild, and later attempts to breed them led to specific limiting of their reproductive capabilities. A saberjowl's scales were generally green in color, allowing it to blend into the dark waters of Kamino. A row of short fins along its dorsal ridge provided stability while swimming. (GORW)

Saber's Tooth
This cantina was located near the starport in the city of Taskeed, on the planet Yefowr. (SWJ14)

Saber-staff
This was the unique weapon that was produced for use by the Imperial Guards, during the early years of the New Order. This weapon was essentially a heavy staff or pike, but it had a short lightsaber-like blade at one end. (TFUN)

Sabertooth-class Assault/Rescue Vessel
This massive capital ship was developed for the Galactic Alliance, many decades after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Sabertooth-class vessel was distinguished by the pair of downward-facing mandibles that hung from its bow. These mandibles could be turned to a number of angles, and allowed the crew of a Sabertooth to latch onto another ship for boarding actions or rescue operations. The main hull of the Sabertooth-class vessel was shaped like an elongated egg, and four engine pods were arranged around the aft section of the ship. Two stubby wings provided stability in atmosphere, which often aided the crew during their rescue operations. (SWLT, SWLH)

Sabiador Slavers
One of the larger slaving operations allowed to continue during the Galactic Civil War, although they disbanded during the early years of the New Republic. (DARK, KO)

Sabilon
This region of the planet Glee Anselm was the home of the Nautolan race. (NEGC)

saBinring, Voort
This Gamorrean male was one of several non-humans the Empire performed experiments on, in an attempt to improve the intelligence of certain races to levels at which they could understand Imperial commands and act as soldiers. Known as subject Gamma-9104, Voort was given several brain-enhancing surgeries that expanded his span of concentration and increased his mathematical abilities, but his vocal apparatus were incapable of conveying the Basic language. Thus, he was outfitted with a translator unit which he wore around his neck. He was the only known escapee of the Binring projects, since all the others were either killed or committed suicide in an escape attempt engineered by their creator, Tuzin Gast. Voort took his opportunity and escaped from Imperial control, fleeing to the Alliance. There, he expressed a desire to become a pilot, and took a name which denoted his "creation." He eventually became one of the first members of Wraith Squadron, and was given the nickname "Piggy." His last name was a derivative of the company that "produced" him, Binring Biomedical Product. As a member of the Wraiths, Piggy was the group's hand-to-hand combat expert. He was also the strength of the squadron, and his skills were invaluable during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. He was nearly killed when Jart Eyan tried to execute Admiral Ackbar, but Voort took the blaster shots meant for his superior officer. His Gamorrean physiology allowed him to absorb the blasts, and he was forced to kill Eyan to protect Ackbar. After recovering from his wounds, Voort played a key role in the infiltraton of the Binring Biodemical facility on Saffalore, and helped captured Doctor Edda Gast. Years later, Voort rejoined the New Republic forces at Borleias, when Wraith Squadron met up with Wedge Antilles after the Second Battle of Coruscant. Voort and Sharr Latt were ordered to create the aura of a deit around Jaina Solo, in an effort to trick the Yuuzhan Vong invaders into believing that she was Yun-Harla incarnate. (WS, IF, SOC, EL1)

Sabioto
This command from the Jawaese language translated into Basic as "stop." (GPB)

Sabis, Archa
This wealthy cyborg lived in a luxurious skyhook which was tethered to the planet Coruscant during the height of the New Order. Much of his fortune came from the manufacture of energy shield generators, and Sabis was able to buy his way into Coruscant's high society. However, his meteoric rise was cut short when he contracted a nonlethal form of Knowt's Disease, and he lost his right arm and most of this torso and face to the disease. In order to survive, his arms and other body parts were replaced with cybernetic prostheses, including much of his brain. He was abandoned by his socialite "friends", and isolated himself in his skyhook. Many beings considered Sabis to be insane, especially after he began to speak out in favor of the rights of droids. Little did they realize that the cybernetic implants in his brain had been infected by a computer virus, which drove him slowly insane. At some point during the Galactic Civil War, Sabis' skyhook suddenly became untethered, and would have been shot down if it hadn't been rescued by a group of freelance operatives. In the wake of this near-disaster, Sabis tried to initiate the Second Droid Revolution. His efforts were thwarted, however, when the construction droid he was using as a base of operations was disabled. (CCW)

Sabit
This X'Ting was the mate of Caiza Quill. They managed their relationship by timing their sexual phase changes to be nearly oppposite one another. (TCD)

Sable II
This modified Corellian gunship was owned by the pirate Karn Granzor. It was the Sable II which attacked the merchant ship Eclipse. The pirates didn't board the Eclipse with guns blazing, preferring to take the cargo with minimal bloodshed. Drek Drednar was a crewman aboard the Eclipse, but jumped ship when he discovered the pirates were not the bloodthirsty bandits he was led to believe. However, Drednar eventually jumped ship and started his own pirate gang, and later returned to destroy the Sable II and killed captain Granzor. (SWJ5)

Sable III
Formerly known as the Anto's Star, this heavily-modified CR90 corvette was stolen by the pirate gang controlled by Drek Drednar. It was named for the gunship Sable II, from which Drednar nad his crew learned the ropes of piracy before jumping ship to set out on their own. The Sable III was armed with five double turbolaser cannons, a turret-mounted ion cannon, and a pair of tractor beam projectors. (SWJ5)

Sabodor
This Rakririan owned Sabodor's, a petshop on Etti IV, during the early years of the New Order. It was Sabodor who sold a dinko to Han Solo, which Solo later used as part of his debt repayment to Ploovo Two-for-One. (HSE)

Sabodor's
This exotic pet store was located on Etti IV, during the early years of the New Order. Owned by the Rakririan known as Sabodor, the store specialized in unique, non-sentient species that served as any kind of pet, from the passive to the dangerous. Han Solo bought a dinko from Sabodor, to give to Ploovo Two-for-One as a "gift." (HSE)

Sabol
This Imperial Lieutenant was serving as an Intelligence officer during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Lieutenant Sabol, despite being one of the few female officers in the Empire, was known for her ruthless nature and her intoleration of failure. However, her career was marked by the acquisition of often useless information, which kept her from advancing up the chain of command. She was stationed in the city of Bestine, on the planet Tatooine, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. (SWGAL)

Sabosen
This was one of the four ruling families of the Chiss civiliation, during the era of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Like the other families, the Sabosen bloodlines predate modern Chiss society. The Sabosen syndic was charged with ensuring that justice, health, and educational services were evenly distributed across all Chiss colonies. (GMR5, FH2)

Sabra
This YT-1300 light freighter was owned and operated by Twin Suns Transport Services. It was flown by Ace Azzameen during his early training with his sister, Aeron. (XWA)

Sabran
This female Imperial naval officer was known for her fluency in alien languages. She was able to speak in over 300 unique tongues, and was also known for her diligence and self-confidence during a mission. She was framed for leaking information to the Alliance and sent to an Imperial prison. However, Janq Paramexor learned of her language skills, and arranged to have her freed if she agreed to join his guild as a bounty hunter. She quickly agreed, and put her determination and training to work for his operation. (GG10)

Sabrashi
This alien race was noted for the creation of the fear stick. (NEGW)

Sabrashi Bio-chemical Deterrants, Incorporated
This weapons manufacturer produced a variety of chemical weapons for personal protection. Note that The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology indicates that the Sabrashi were and alien people. (FOP, NEGW)

Sabre
This Ripoblus assault transport was operative during the Sepan Civil War. Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, the Sabre was part of a small task force that tried to capture the Dimok space station Youst. However, Imperial forces also wanted the space station, and were quick to destroy the Sabre and much of the rest of the Ripoblus ships. (TIE, TIEP)

Sabre Club
Located within The Ace of Sabres, on Kluistar, this exclusive casino was open to only the wealthiest VIPs. Situated on the (lucky) thirteenth floor, the Sabre Club catered to all sorts of royalty, nobility, and corporate elite. Membership was limited to 999, with each member paying 25,000 credits for a two-year membership. Members in current standing were given the guaranteed option to renew their membership. (WSV)

Sabrin, Miletta
This woman was one of the few females who rose to political power in the Empire. She was born to a wealthy family with influential connections, but she distinguished herself as a member of the Imperial militia during the assaults which ousted the Alliance from Koradin Sector. She later became the Prefect, then Governor, of the Renillis System four years before the Battle of Yavin. Her belief in the Empire was shattered with the destruction of Alderaan, and the casual acceptance of the destruction by the Emperor and her own staff. Although she hated the Alliance, she was still dismayed by the loss of life during the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Endor, she deserted the Empire and took a small frigate and a crew with her to the Outer Rim. There, she established the Sabrin Ring on Sabrix and negotiated with the Hutts for support and protection. (GG11)

Sabrin Ring
This small empire was forged by Lady Miletta Sarbin, shortly after the Battle of Endor. She later negotiated with the Hutts for support and protection. The Ring was the prevalent force on the planets Sabrix, Elokas, and Helisk, and was more of a criminal empire than a political one. (GG11)

Sabriquet
This was an ancient musical instrument that was created by the Bith race. Resembling a thick pipe that was topped by a thin, flexible tube, the sabriquet producing a trilling sound when properly played. (DBPD, CVD)

This was the primary world in the Sabrixin System, one of three worlds in the system which were habitable. It was named for Miletta Sabrin, who fled to the previously uncharted planet after the Battle of Endor. (GG11)

Sacbee
This was a species of bulbous insect which was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong. (UF)

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

Sache'
This young Naboo girl served as one of Queen Amidala's handmaidens. Like the other handmaidens, Sache' was chosen by Captain Panaka for her strength, loyalty, and resemblance to Amidala. Of all Amidala's handmaidens, Sache' and Yane' were the youngest, and were left behind when the Queen traveled to Coruscant to petition the blockade of Naboo by the Trade Federation. (E1N, JQA, CVD)

Sacheen-class Escort Ship
This starship was the first of the New Class of ships designed for use by the New Republic. It measured 375 meters in length, and served as the blueprint for the Hajen-class fleet tender. They were the smallest of the new class designed for independent operations, and were often assigned screening duties in support of large fleets. The could also served as system patrol ships when supported by a squadron of starfighters berthed in its main hangar area. The Sacheen-class escort was armed with 10 heavy turbolaser cannons, 8 laser cannons, and 8 ion cannons, and was equipped with a Class-1 hyperdrive and enhanced shielding and hull plating. (SOL, CTD)

Sachoore, Denlace
This man was a clerk for the Corporate Alliance, until it was discovered that he had a tiny computer memory system implanted into his skull. He was arrested for embezzling millions of credits and later interrogated, during which time he provided information on the training facility on Yirt-4138-Grek-12, shortly before the Clone Wars. (HNN4)

Sacking of Coruscant
This was the name used by historians to describe the bold attack on the planet Coruscant by Sith Lord Angral, during the final stages of the Great Galactic War. The Dark Council had extended an offer to being negotiations that would forge a cease-fire agreement with the Galactic Republic, despite the fact that the Sith were beginning to win more battles than they were losing. The Republic, which had been recovering from the Great Sith War, the Kanz Disorders, and the Mandalorian Wars, jumped at the chance to end the conflict. Senatorial representatives and two Jedi Knights - Master Dar'nala and Satele Shan - were dispatched to meet with Lord Baras on Alderaan. While these peace talks were going on, Lord Angral and his fleet of warships converged on Coruscant, taking the capital world by surprise by smashing through orbital security and reaching the planet's surface. While Angral focused part of his forces on capturing the Republic Senate, the rest were sent on a mission to destroy the Jedi Temple and raze other military positions on the planet. In this way, Angral was able to eliminate the Jedi Knights as a threat, while taking the Supreme Chancellor and the entire planet as hostages. It was also believed that Angral had executed the Surpreme Chancellor, as a way to add strength to his threats, which were relayed to the Republic's delegation on Alderaan. The Senators and the Jedi Knights were forced to accede to the demands of the Sith, and signed the Treaty of Coruscant in order to end the war. (SWORW)

Saclas
This barren planet, located along the Solenbaran Merchant Route, was the homeworld of the Ocsinin race. It was perhaps best-known for the gelatinous pet slimes which lived on the planet, and were popular among young Gamorreans. (AIR)

Sacor
This yellow star was the central body around which the planet Sacorria orbited. Note that Coruscant and the Core Worlds denotes this star by the name Sacorria. Also note that this source claims the Sacor star was an orange giant. (CTD, CCW)

Sacorbel, Flyrl
This was the name of a distinguished Morseerian individual. (UANT)

Sacorrata
This large city was located on the main continent of the planet Sacorria. The Sacorria Central Spaceport was located on the outskirts of the city. (CCW)

Sacorria
A planet located in the Outlier Systems in the Corellian Sector, Sacorria orbited the star known as Sacor, and had a single moon known as Sarcophagus. Among the many traditionsobserved on Sacorria was the requirement that all women have their father's permission to marry. During the Old Republic, Sacorria kept primarily to itself, and it had token representation in the Galactic Senate by way of its natives coming fromother planets in the Sector. The population of Sacorria, made up of humans, Dralls, and Selonians, each provided a representative to the planetary government, known as the Sacorrian Triad. This Triad chafed under the New Order, when it was subjugated to the authority of the Corellian Diktat, but regained power in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor. When the racial separation began in the Corellian Sector, just prior to Thrackan Sal-Solo's rise to power, the Saccorian Triad also ruled that marriages to off-worlders would be outlawed. This put a kink in Lando Calrissian's plans to marry Tendra Risant. Despite the resolution of the Corellian Crisis, the Sacorrian Triad remained the official government of the planet. The average day on Sacorria lasted 23 standard hours, and its year lasted 343 local days. (AC, CTD, CCW)

Sacorria
see Sacor (CCW)

Sacorria Central Spaceport
Located on the primary continent of the planet Sacorria, this spaceport was one of the most impressive buildings found on the planet. Located on the outskirts of Sacorrata, some 500 kilometers inland from Dorthus Tal Island, the Sacorria Central Spaceport catered to the needs of offworld visitors to Sacorria. Filled with shops, restaurants, and hotels, the spaceport was practically a self-contained city. (CCW)

Sacorrian
This was the term used to describe any being who was native to the planet Sacorria, whether they were human, Selonian, or Drall. (CCW)

Sacorrian Grain Whiskey
This spirit was distilled on the planet Sacorria, from the many grains which were grown there. (CCW)

Sacorrian Jig
This phrenetic dance was quite popular for a few years on the planet Corellia, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (MF)

Sacorrian Triad
This was the primary governmental body of the planet Sacorria, during the early years of the New Republic. It was formed from three leaders, each representing one of the three main races - human, Selonian, and Drall - which made Sacorria their home. During the New Order, the Triad was forced to cede power to the Corellian Diktat, at the order of Emperor Palpatine, but it re-established its control in the wake of the Battle of Endor. Shortly after the defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Triad attempted to secede from the New Republic and take control of the Corellian Sector, in what became known as the Corellian Incident. The leaders of the Triad made a deal with Thrackan Sal-Solo, who provided his Human League members as disposable troops in return for his chance to become Diktat of the Corellian System. The Triad then severed all ties to the New Republic by blockading the entire Corellian system with an interdiction field. The Triad also managed to discover how to operate the immense planetary repulsors located within the hearts of the planets in the Corellian System, setting off a series of actions they called the Starbuster Plot. The combined forces of the New Republic and the Bakuran navy managed to defeat the interdiction field and expose the plans of the Sacorrian Triad, and the threat to other worlds was avoided. Despite this setback, the Triad remained the primary government of the planet Sacorria. (AC, AS, CTD, EGP, NEGC, CCW, NECH)

Sacred Aeries
This was the name used by the S'kytri to describe the holiest and most sacred of the locations on their homeworld of Skye. During the Imperial occupation of the planet, many of the Sacred Aeries were desecrated by the Imperials, who used the land for munitions factories. After the Supreme Council was freed by The One, the factories were immediately destroyed. (GMR1)

Sacred Ch'hala Tree Grove
Located on the planet Cularin, this grove of ch'hala trees had remained untouched for more than 300 years at the time of the Battle of Naboo. Forty-two trees existed at the time the grove was declared a sacred location by the Tarasin, and another twenty-eight grew in over time. Under the declarations of the Cularin Compact, the Sacred Grove was off-limits to any form of offworld intrusion. (LFC)

Sacred Pinnacle
This tower of red, desert stone was sacred to the Sand People who lived in the deserts of Tatooine. The ancient Sand People carved out caves in which they told stories, performed secret rituals, and executed blood sacrifices. However, as Jabba the Hutt asserted his control over the planet Tatooine, the city of Mos Espa grew up in the near near the Pinnacle. As podracing grew in popularity, the Sand People were driven away from the Sacred Pinnacle by the whine of their engines. Eventually, Jabba built Mos Espa Arena surrounding the Pinnacle, but left the stone pillar intact. During the height of Jabba's reign, the Pinnacle housed luxury accomodations for visitors who came to see the podracer. The Sand People, hating the way that their sacred grounds had been usurped, camped out on the pdoracing course and shot at the racers in retailation. (IWE1)

Sacred Pools
One of the most famous landmarks found on the planet Telos. Of all the global parks on the planet, the Sacred Pools were held in the highest regards. Thus, when it was revealed the Xanatos was using the pools as a toxic waste dumping ground, Andra and the POWER party suddenly found themselves at the forefront of a politcal uprising. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi helped expose Xanatos' plans, and worked to help the Telosians get started on cleaning the Pools for future generations. (DOR)

Sacred Precinct
This was another term used by the Yuuzhan Vong to describe the area surrounding Supreme Overlord Shimrra's Citadel, located on the planet Coruscant after it had been captured and terraformed it into a simulacrum of their homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar. (UF)

Sacred Pyre
This Yuuzhan Vong warship was under the command of Bhu Fath, during the final stages of the aliens' invasion of the galaxy. It was dispatched to the planet Selvaris to acquire a cargo of prisoners - captured during the New Republic's Operation Trinity near Bilbringi - for transport to Coruscant. There, the prisoners were to be sacrificed to the Yuuzhan Vong gods at a ceremony that would remove any doubt of the Yuuzhan Vong's devotion. (UF)

Sacred Scroll of Gurrisalia
This ancient parchment was considered one of the galaxy's greatest mysteries. The scroll was believed to have created in an incredibly ancient time, and was written in a nearly indecipherable language. Historians from all generations argued and debated about its contents, which many believed held the secrets of how life evolved in the galaxy. (RCTC)

Sacred Way
This religion was one of many practiced on the frontier world of Aduba-3, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It was considered by many historians as the founding religion on the planet, and was controlled by the Verpine known as Pera during the years following the Battle of Yavin. (MC7, GMR4)

Sacredot
This was the title used by the Underpriests who served Teroenza on Ylesia. (TPS)

Sacrifice at Endor
This holo-documentary was produced during the months following the Battle of Endor, by the Imperial propaganda ministers, in an effort to maintain the loyalty of Imperial citizens. The holo-documentary chronicled the final sacrifice of Emperor Palpatine, and was the last in a series of documentaries that chronicled Palpatine's life and career. (WG)

Sacul, Jorg
This man served the Alliance as a starfighter pilot, and was a member of Red Squadron during the Battle of Yavin. (SWI61)

Sacworm
This thick-skinned worm was bioengineered by the Yuuzhan Vong to serve as a way to transport liquids. Small sacworms were grown in the shape of cups, for use as drinking vessels. (T)

Sadain
This four-legged creature was native to the plains of Ansion. It was one of the many creatures which had been domesticated by the Alwari Ansionians, for used as a pack animal. Unlike the huge suubatars, the sadain were built for endurance and strength instead of speed. This was further pointed out by the long, flared ears of the sadain, which were filled with a vast network of blood vessels to help dissipate body heat. (APS)

Sadashassa, Shea
This woman represented her homeworld of Herdessa to the Galactic Senate, during the final years of the Old Republic. She was also one of the many Senators who signed the Petition of the Two Thousand. In the wake of the Clone Wars and the establishment of the New Order, Senator Sadashassa was among the sixty-three Senators who were arrested for allegedly supporting the so-called Jedi Rebellion. (SWI84)

Sadeet
This was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "butchers his enemies slowly". (GCG)

Sadeet, Sish
This green-skinned Trandoshan was a member of the New Republic's forces, and was assigned as Mirith Sinn's second-in-command on the planet Phaeda. He had fled Trandosha by stowing away on an Imperial transport, but was left to die on Mokk IX when he was discovered. There, he met up with Mirith Sinn, who nursed him back to health and convinced him to join the New Republic. A suspicious creature, Sadeet thought it very unwise for Sinn to bring Kir Kanos into their group. However, he accepted her orders. This did not stop him from disliking Kanos, especially when the human scoffed at the defenses Sadeet had established to protect their hideout. In the end, Sadeet learned that the real traitor to their operation was Tem Merkon, and after the New Republic had freed Phaeda from Imperial control, he accompanied Mirith Sinn to Yinchorr. She hoped to find Kanos again, and Sadeet hoped to regain an ally. They arrived just in time to eliminate Blim, who was trying to shoot Kanos. Kanos then killed Jax in battle. Sadeet and Sinn had hoped to take Jax alive, in order to extract information about the Empire from him. When Kanos killed him, Sadeet grew angry and tried to attack Kanos. The former Imperial Guard anticipated Sadeet's attack, and speared the Trandoshan with a jab of his double-bladed sword. Sadeet died next to Jax, and Mirith vowed to kill Kanos for the unnecessary death. (CE, HCE)

Sa-di
One of the Emperor Palpatine's closest friends, and a member of the reborn Emperor's Dark Side Adepts. He soon realized that the Emperor's continual rebirth through the use of clones was not what it seemed to be. Along with Nefta, Sa-Di formulated a plan to destroy all of the Emperor's clones and trap his Dark Side energies in the netherworld forever. Following the reborn Emperor's death on Byss, both Sa-Di and Nefta began destroying the clone vats. Before they could finish the job, however, they were both killed by Sedriss. Unknown to both of them at the time, Palpatine had already entered a new clone body. (DE2)

Sadie
The Abyssin bartender of the Jungle Lust, when Han Solo visited Bran Kemple there. (COJ)

Sadow, Naga
An ancient Sith magician who practiced a thousand years before the Freedon Nadd uprisings, Naga Sadow was one of the strongest Sith Lords at the time Marka Ragnos died. Note that Lightsabers and Dark Lords of the Sith claim Naga Sadow was an insectile beast of pure Sith blood who learned how to give life to the dead. Trained by the old mage Simus, Sadow was an intense individual who wished to bring the Sith Empire to the forefront of the galaxy, a viewpoint not held by his contemporary, Ludo Kressh. Another issue that divided them was Sadow's apparent "pure blood", because he was able to trace his roots back to the Exiles without any intermingling with the Sith. Upon Ragnos' death, Sadow chose not to attend the huge funeral. Rather, he plotted how he could obtain the position of Dark Lord of the Sith. At the close of the procession, Sadow confronted Kressh, and the two Sith Lords battled for the position of Dark Lord of the Sith. This clash of Sith energy brought Marka Ragnos' spirit back from the dead, and the spirit warned both of them that conflict within the ranks of the Sith would further no one's plans.

With the appearance of Jori and Gav Daragon in Sith-controlled space, Sadow discovered a way to further his own goals. Ludo Kressh believed them to scouts from the Old Republic's advanced forces, so Sadow freed them and staged a rescue attempt in which many Sith warriors were killed. Sadow claimed it was Kressh's inability to mobilize the Sith forces that caused the deaths, and claimed himself Dark Lord of the Sith in order to guide the Sith into battle. He then took the Daragons to his two fortresses and hid them, playing upon their emotions and their latent Force abilities to gain their confidence. He built up Gav's strength, teaching him Sith magic while manipulating him into a position where he would obey any command. Sadow recovered the Starbreaker 12 and returned it to Jori, telling her that Gav had been killed and that Sadow could no loner protect her from the other Sith Lords. Her flight provided Sadow with all the hyperspace coordinates he needed to begin attacking the Old Republic.

When Kressh finally mustered his own forces to attack Sadow, he attacked at Khar Delba. This expended much of his resources, while Sadow hid on Khar Shian. From there, he launched a massive counterattack, decimating Kressh's forces and nearly killing the rival magician. Sadow then retired to Primus Goluud, where he entered a mediation sphere and launched his attacks on the Republic, augmenting his forces with illusory warriors and monsters. When Gav Daragon disabled the sphere, Sadow's concentration was broken. The Jedi Knights and the Republic were able to see through the illusions, and eventually defeated the Sith forces. Sadow, under attack by the Republic's fleet at Primus Goluud, chose to rip the star apart and destroy them all. Gav was able to provide the Republic fleet with an escape vector, saving them from the conflagration but dooming himself.

Sadow limped back to the Sith Empire, where he was confronted by Ludo Kressh's restored forces. In the opening acts of the Great Hyperspace War, Sadow used the Dark Side of the Force to coerce one of his starship captains to ram Kressh's ship, destroying his chief rival and securing his position as Dark Lord. However, this left his forces vulnerable to Empress Teta's fleet. In a last-ditch effort, Sadow drew Teta's forces into the Denarii Nova in hopes of destroying them all, but the Nova flared up and destroyed much of Sadow's fleet and part of the Tetan fleet. Sadow himself managed to survive, and fled to Yavin 4 to begin rebuilding his empire. The ruling Dark Lord of the Sith did not appreciate Sadow's bold attempts, and sentenced him to die. Sadow took his knowledge and his followers and fled to the moon Yavin 4.

He was eventually hunted down by the Old Republic, who branded him an outlaw and chased him to the Denarii System. There, Sadow used the powers of the Sith to rip the cores from the two Denarii stars and fling them at the pursuing fleet. The fleet was destroyed, and the stars exploded to form the Denarii Nebula. Sadow survived the encounter, but later passed into legends. It was believed that his spirit was finally destroyed on Yavin 4 by Freedom Nadd, who learned much of his own Sith training from Sadow's spirit. Naga Sadow and his followers were now extinct, but their knowledge and powers remain behind on Yavin 4. A tomb for Naga Sadow was later discovered on the planet Korriban, but it remained a mystery as to whether or not his body was actually buried there. (DLS, L, GAS, FOSE, NEGC, EGF)

S'ae
This species of tree was native to the planet Gacerian. They can grow to incredible sizes, with twelve-meter diameters and up to 100 meters in height. Their root systems reach deep into the planet's crust, and allow the s'ae to respond to the planet's seismic activity. The s'ae trees can detect even slight geological shifts that were undetectable by many races. The s'ae trees have the unique ability to resonate to the pitch and vibration of the earth beneath them, and were known as singing trees by the Gacerites. (PG2)

Saedhe
This man was one of the many militiamen who served under Captain Zherron, ostensible protecting the Khoonda Plains area of Dantooine during the years following the Jedi Civil War. Saedhe, however, was one of Zherron's most trusted officers, and was in charge of ensuring that the surveillance equipment hidden in the Khoonda atmospheric sensors was not discovered. His efforts went for naught when his duplicity was discovered by The Exile. (KOTOR2)

Saell-Terae
This Yarkora was known as an antiquities dealer who roamed the Unknown Regions during the early days of the New Order. He traveled the area in his modified DeepWater freighter, the Lost Reef, and had mapped out a considerable portion of the Unknown Regions before he ran afoul of Admiral Thrawn. Thrawn was interested in a group of statues Saell-Terae had acquired, hoping to learn something about their creators in order to subjugate them. Saell-Terae refused to part with the statues, but was forced to leave the Lost Reef behind in his flight. The ship later showed up, empty and adrift, near Elrood. Saell-Terae managed to escape Thrawn, and vowed to recover his ship no matter what the cost or who he had to kill. (SS)

Saelt-Marae
This male Yarkora posed as an alien artifacts trader at Jabba the Hutt's palace, during the final years of the Galactic Civil War, although no being really knew what his intentions were. He often associated with the B'omarr Monks, and many believed that Saelt-Marae was an assumed name. While at Jabba's palace, Saelt-Marae made a living as an inside informant, providing secrets about the activities of the palace's denizens to Jabba himself. After Jabba's death, Saelt-Marae stole a sizable portion of Jabba's computer records and fled the sector.

Investigation into the artifacts and trash left behind in Jabba's palace turned up several detailed documents that Saelt-Marae kept on this life as a Yarkora, revealing a great deal of previously-unknown information about the Yarkora race. Also found within his journals was a wealth of insider information on some of the galaxy's more prominent beings, which he planned to use for bribery and blackmail. (CCG7, MTSE, NEGA)

Saen
A Coway swear word known to Halla, it had something to do with a person's parentage. Halla tells Luke that it's a Coway word meaning "quit," used when two combatant were fighting to determine Canu's decision on a dispute. The battle was decided when one combatant dies or quits. She says this in hopes that Luke would use it if he was near to defeat, to momentarily disengage his assailant and gain the upper hand. (SME)

Saes
This male Khil, a fallen Jedi who joined the Sith Empire during the years leading up to the Great Hyperspace War, served as the Captain of the Harbinger, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Few among the Sith knew whether or not to trust Captain Saes, and his reputation was not enhanced when the Harbinger and her sister ship, the Omen, were discovered by a Jedi starfighter near Phaegon III. The Jedi managed to get a few shots off at the Harbinger's drive systems, and the ship careened out of control. The ship might have rammed the Omen, if Commander Yaru Korsin hadn't reacted and ordered a blind jump into hyperspace. (LTS1)

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

Safari One Squadron
This group of Alliance soldiers was seasoned during the Battle of Hoth, and assisted in the recovery of an Imperial I2-CG droid on Goratak III, after it intercepted data on the starship manufacturing plant on Tar Morden. (MB)

Safe Home
This was the name of a hollowed-out asteroid maintained by a group of former Old Republic scouts. Located in an unknown asteroid belt and purposely erased from government records, Safe Home provides a place for indepedent scouts to stay in between missions. A group of pirates which plied the space surrounding the asteroid had convinced the scouts that the Empire was still in power and was looking for them as criminals, thereby keeping the scouts near to Safe Home. The pirates then use the scouts as hired muscle, claiming that a juicy civilian target was actually an Imperial ship in disguise. (GG8)

Safecube
This box was designed to hold explosives for transport. (SSR)

Safeguard Rule
This was one of the naval rules that were maintained by the military forces of the Old Republic. The Safeguard Rule was put in place so that the crew aboard a new or modified starship would know when the ship's status changed from testing to operational. Usually, a brand-new starship or one that had been modified was given a work-up period, in which all systems were thoroughly tested and checked for operational status. Any problems or repairs could then be made before the ship was sent into active duty. However, during this test period, any ship could be called upon to address an emergency situation. During these times, the ship's commanding officer would put the Safeguard Rule into force. With the rule in force, any orders that were given to the crew would be considered drills unless they were preceded by the word "safeguard" repeated three times. In the event that the crew heard "safeguard, safeguard, safeguard", they would know that the ship had been forced into action, and any subsequent commands were to be carried out for real. (CWNOP)

SafeScreen
This form of sensor alarm was available in several different models. Type I SafeScreens were basic devices used to protect homes. Type VII SafeScreens were used by royalty and corporations to guard their riches and research. (SWJ9)

Safety Cage
A large, round basket that can be lifted by a sling or moved in a tractor beam. It was used to quickly transport cargo or people from one starship to the next while docked at a spaceport or other location within a safe atmosphere. The cage was constructed so that its contents will not fall out. (HSR)

Safety Inspection Certification
This Imperial document was one of a number of documents required from any spacer who plied the spacelanes during the New Order. The procedures for obtaining the certification were documented in the Spacer's Information Manual. Known as an SIC, this document provided information on the space-worthiness of the starship it was issued to. (SWJ9)

Saff, Gundark

This art form predated the Empire, reaching its height between 1550-2200 years prior to the New Order. The artworm changed subtly after the Saffa made contact with the Thennqora. (HTTE)

Saffalore
This Corporate Sector world was the headquarters of Binring Biomedical Product. It remained neutral during the end of the Galactic Civil War, although Binring was staunchly loyal to the Empire. (WS)

Saffch, Kara
The owner and pilot of the freighter Night Havoc. At the age of 17, she ran away with her brother, Willi, to explore the galaxy.They worked on various starships until they could earn enough credits for a downpayment on a ship of their own. They finally were able to purchase the Night Havoc, but the two have been unable to completely make ends meet. They have incurred large debts, which they try to pay off as salvagers. Kara was an excellent salvager, and worked primarily near Korbin. She was upbeat, proud of her accomplishments, and full of enthusiasm. (PG2)

Saffkin Room
This was one of the eight luxurious casinos found aboard the Coral Vanda. (DFR)

Safidine Industries
This weapons manufacturer was subcontracted by the Empire to develop high-powered blasters. Unfortunately, the prototypes that were created by Safidine researchers were stolen by Devidia Vennsiol and Dorbus Kyrullus. Although Kyrullus was captured, and many of the weapons recovered, Vennsiol remained free. Safidine issued an Imperial bounty for her capture, in the hopes of recovering the prototypes before they were obtained by another manufacturer. (GMR6)

Sage, Vana
This woman was a Naboo expatriate who roamed the galaxy as a hired gun. Originally born on Alderaan, Vana left home at fifteen and worked for a number of bounty hunters before she ended up on Naboo. There, she joined the Royal Security Force, but was frustrated with the pacifism and naivete' of the Naboo military. After being rebuffed in her request for additional military build-up, Vana left the RSF and struck out on her own as a mercenary for hire. She flew in a starship she named the Guardian Mantis, and was soon employed by the Trade Federation as a bounty hunter. She was known to have captured the Feeorin pirate Nym, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. When the Federation blockaded Naboo, Vana began to question whether her alliance with the Federation was going to work out in her favor. She eventually returned to legitimate service with the Naboo Royal Security Force. (OWS, SFT, STF, CRBN, JSF)

SAGEducation
This branch of COMPNOR brought education to the billions of "forgotten" youths of the Old Republic. Through SAGEducation, COMPNOR gained a great deal of public support, as it helped bring education and learning to many impoverished worlds. Through SAGEd, these disenfranchised youths learned about the New Order and its teachings, although the educational message was changed over time. During the era of the Galactic Civil War, many SAGEd teachers were openly screened by the Imperial Security Bureau, as their messages began to turn more toward questioning the New Order instead of promoting it. (ISB)

Sageon, L'lacielo
This Lorrdian Jedi Master was reaching an advanced age when the Clone Wars broke out. Nevertheless, Master Sageon continued to fight alongside his younger counterparts, and was one of the many Jedi who flew starfighter missions during the First Battle of Coruscant. He was able to locate General Grievous' shuttle, when it lifted off from Coruscant with the captive Chancellor Palpatine inside, and he pursued it into the hangars of the Invisible Hand. Grievous, however, was intent on carrying out his plans, and took little time in killing Sageon in a lightsaber fight in the hangar. (SWI86)

Sage's Hood
This specialized form of headgear was produced by Wookiee artisans, and was awarded to the wisest and most reverred members of their society. (SWG2P)

Saggery
This plant produces flowers which have gracefully-curving petals. (SOP)

Saggery-blossom Maneuver
This naval attack pattern involved sending a group of starfighters at a specific target in parade flight formation. This formation allowed the fighters to overlap their shields for added protection. Shortly after the fighters were launched, a series of proton torpedoes was launched along their attack vector. Shortly before impacting the target, the starfighters break their parade formation and spread out like the petals of a saggery flower, curving away from the target as the proton torpedoes slam into it. The split-second timing requires the starfighters to attack in parade formation, allowing them to conserve shield energy until they break off. The additional power can then be used to prevent any collateral damage from the proton torpedo strikes. (SOP)

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

Sagma
This planet was the site of a great battle during the Galactic Civil War. Ganig and Stecker were participants in the battle, and their heroics were the fodder of Imperial propaganda for a short time, until they were suspected of sympathizing with the Alliance. (ISB)

SAGRecreation
This branch of COMPNOR was created to provide wholesome activities for all SAGroup members. Wegsphere was created as part of SAGRec, while other parts of SAGRec were specially designed to harden youths to harsh conditions for future assignments in the Imperial armed forces. (ISB)

Sagresh
One of the two moons orbitting the planet Ergeshui. (PG2)

SAGroup
see Sub-Adult Group (ISB)

SAGroupHQ
This was the name given to the leadership that oversaw the activities of the thousands of Sub-Adult Groups, or SAGroups, that were part of COMPNOR. The communications between the various COMPNOR divisions was coordinated at SAGroupHQ, although many times misleading information was passed on to the members of various SAGroups. (ISB)

Sah, Joc
This young, blond-haired man was the Padwan learner of Jedi Master Sev, during the final years of the Old Republic. Master Sev and Joc Sah were dispatched to Ragmar V, during the final stages of the Clone Wars, to assist in securing the planet as a staging area for the Old Republic's starship fleet. When the order was issued to execute Order 66, Joc Sah was on the planet's surface the clone trooper known as Remy, struggling to subdue the local criminals in order to take control of the planet. Joc Sah managed to escape being killed when he joined forces with the very criminals he was charged with eliminating. With the help of these criminals, Joc Sah escaped Sergeant Remy and his clones, and fled into the desert. Together, they managed to stage a number of hit-and-run attacks on the clone troopers. (CWA5)

Sah'c
This wealthy family owned much of the property in the H-46 quadrant of Coruscant's Galactic City, during the last decades of the Old Republic. For this reason, the quadrant became known as Sah'c Town. (IWE2)

Sah'c Canyon
This was the name given to the deep channel that cut through Coruscant's Sah'c District, during the final decades of the Old Republic. The Sah'c Canyon was rimmed with skyscrapers, and plummeted several hundred stories toward the actual surface of Coruscant. The depth and width of the Canyon allowed a large part of Coruscant's air traffic to move through the Canyon on a regular basis. (LEV)

Sah'c District
see Sah'c Town (LEV)

Sah'c Town
This was the colloquial name of quadrant H-46 of Coruscan't Galactic City, popular during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was named for the family which owned most of its buildings. (IWE2)

Saheelindeel
This planet, the homeworld of the Saheelindeeli race, was located in the Tion Hegemony. Like many others in the Hegemony, Saheelindeel was a backward world trying to play catch-up with the technological growth of the rest of the galaxy. The planet was overrun during the Yuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (HSL, HT)

Saheelindeeli
The ape-like aliens native to the planet Saheelindeel, the Saheelindeeli were a race of green-furred humanoids. They had a limited technology, and were just starting to move ahead toward automation during the early years of the New Order. The Saheelindeeli had a matriarchal society, based primarily on agriculture and raching. Descended from a species of primates, the Saheelindeeli were equally at ease walking on two feet or moving about on all-fours when necessary. Saheelindeeli were known for their adaptivity, and craved companionship. Individuals bonded and made friends with others quite rapidly, a trait that often seemed childish to other races. As a people, the Saheelindeeli were also quite fond of daring or bold gestures, especially if they involved death-defying actions by other beings. (HSL, GORW)

Saheelindeeli
This was the native language of the Saheelindeeli race. To other races, it seemed to ba a lyrical composition made up of high-pitched chattering and deep-toned purring. (GORW)

Sahh
This was the Orfite word for their tribal groups. Each sahh controlled a vast section of jungle on the planet Kidron. (AE)

Sah'ot
This city was located on the planet Chandrila. (MF)

Sahr
This stunning female was a pirate worked with Larken aboard the Pillage, during the height of the New Order. Sahr, Larken, and their partners, Druug and Bak, once tried to attack the lowly freighter known as Kizbon's Box. They were unaware that it was actually an Interceptor-class Helix freighter, more than well-enough armed to handle the pirates. Two of Larken's ships were destroyed before he and Sahr were forced to surrender. She later revealed that she was in love with the owner of the Kizbon's Box, and had joined Larken's group in order to exact revenge. (SWJ5)

Sahreel
This Imperial Admiral served under Moff Nile Owen, and commanded the Star Destroyer Impending Doom during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (TA)

Sahrunba
This Dug was a member of Sebolto's gang during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Sahrunba and his younger brothers, Nahrunba and Jahrunba, worked as smugglers during their employment with Sebolto, transporting death sticks from Tatooine to Malastare. The Pixelito Grand Council issued a bounty for their capture, and Jango Fett managed to capture all three brothers during his attempt to meet with Sebolto. (BH)

Sahsahlah
This was an Old Corellian term meaning "the promised land" or "the place of wise fools." It was ysed in conversations where your opinion differed from someone else's, and they wanted to indicate that you were not going to get your way. (SWJ7)

Sai
This was the term used by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic to describe a Force-assisted jump, employed to evade an attack on the legs during lightsaber combat. (VD2)

Sai, Ko
This Kaminoan female served as the Chief Scientist for the cloning project requested by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. Ko Sai was created from the genetic stock of near-genius researchers, and was considered to be among the most single-minded individuals of her generation. It was Ko Sai's research that led to the development of new methods for rapidly accelerating the growth of the clone troopers created from Jango Fett's genetic material. Years later, after Kamino itself was attacked during the Clone Wars, Ko Sai and Taun We revealed that it was Darth Tyranus - no Master Sifo-Dyas - who paid for the clones. Ko Sai suddenly went missing after this revelation, and many Kaminoans believed she had been abducted. Others feared that she defected to the Separatists.

She was never seen again, although several rumors about her work began to circulate. Among the rumors was that possibility that Ko Sai had discovered a way to control the aging process of the clone troopers. This tidbit of information prompted Kal Skirata to begin a covert search for her whereabouts. Skirata had never liked Ko Sai, who believed that the original six clones decanted were of no value, and he set out to locate Ko Sai and force her to give his clones a chance for a real life. It was these six clones who became the so-called Null-class ARC Troopers, who were perhaps the closest thing to sons Kal had. Thus, the search for Ko Sai became an obsession for Skirata and the Nulls. Any contact between them was summed up in two words, "Any news?" as they asked for information on Ko Sai's whereabouts.

It was also believed that Chancellor Palpatine instigated his own search for Ko Sai, hoping to keep the ability to produce military clones the sole property of the Old Republic. The Senate went so far as to approve decree E49D139.41, which prohibited all non-military cloning. Palpatine placed Arligan Zey at the forefront of this search. Skirata's search turned up information that Ko Sai might have been initially hired by the Separatists, but abandoned them and fled for Vaynai before setting up a laboratory on Dorumaa. The search for Ko Sai went on for months, as the Separatists, the clones and the Kaminoans wanted desparately to reacquire her knowledge of cloning. Skirata and his men managed to located Ko Sai first, and confronted her with their knowledge. It was during their interrogation that Ko sai revealed that she had been personally contacted by Chancellor Palpatine, who had asked her to investigate techniques that could be used to prolong his life for an indefinite period of time. She refused, prompting her flight into obscurity.

Skirata and Mereel decided to take Ko Sai away from Dorumaa and continue their interrogation on Mandalore, but they ensured that no other beings would discover her research. After the clone commandos stripped her computer systems of their stored data, they destroyed her laboratory, which was located beneath the ActionWorld resort facility. However, Ordo became angry when she refused to cooperate, and he destroyed the copy he had made of her data. On Mandalore, Ko Sai was stashed away at Skirata's remote farm, but she still refused to provide the clones with the information they desired. She wallowed in a saddened state of denial at the loss of the data that made up her life's work, unaware that Ordo had not actually destroyed the data, and had another copy hidden away. Her demeanor changed when Etain Tur-Mukan agreed to provide a sample of her blood to work on, providing Ko Sai with the chance to investigate the genetic structure of a Jedi Knight. She agreed to provide the clones with information on which genes affected the aging process, with the promise of more details if Etain continued to reciprocate.

Ko Sai kept up her end of the bargain, continually feeding new information to Mereel, until she was finally rewarded with a sample of the umbilical cells that were obtained after Etain gave birth to her son. She spent four days poring over the genetic data from the cells, keeping mostly to herself. Thus, when Etain stopped by to say goodbye before leaving to see Darman and the other Omega Squad commandos, she was surprised and horrified to find that Ko Sai had hung herself in the night. The note she left behind was addressed to Etain, and stated that she had found the genetics of Etain and her to have been fascinating.

Ko Sai was never seen again, at least as an entire being. Kal Skirata left it to the Null-class clones to take care of her body, but ordered that some genetic material should be provided to Delta Squad, who was still searching for her. In the months following her suicide, the Kaminoans received several packages containing what they believed to be various body parts taken from Ko Sai. Genetic analysis matched that of Ko Sai, but there was no definitive proof that the body parts were hers. Adding to the mystery was the fact that no entity came forward with Ko Sai's cloning information, and there were no bribes or other threats made against the Kaminoans. It was as if she had simply been murdered and sent back to her people in pieces for the fun of it. Taun We later told Boba Fett that it was believed that Kal Skirata and his clone commandos were responsible for Ko Sai's death. (VD2, LEV, GORW, SWI87, RCTZ, LF2, RCTC)

Sai, Taga
This was the name of a noted Kaminoan scientist. (UANT)

Sai Cha
This was one of the many marks of contact defined by the Jedi Masters of the Old Republic. Derived from the ancient words for "separate" and "head", sai cha meant the beheading of one's opponent. The use of sai cha was restricted to those points in battle when the situation was deadly serious or threatening, or when an opponent was considered too dangerous to engage in prolonged struggle. Sai Cha was also considered a strike discipline, one of the offesnive moves used in Jedi combat. (SWI62, SWGAL, EGF)

Sai Tok
This was the more dangerous of the marks of contact defined by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic, both for the Jedi and for their opponent. Literally, sai tok meant the bisection of an opponent's body. This was considered a form of butchery by many Jedi Masters, and represented a Sith-like desire to utterly destroy an opponent. It was to be used on in the most extreme situations, and required a Jedi to meditate on the necessity of avoiding it in the future. Sai tok was also considered part of the Jung Ma class of sweep disciplines, since it involved the swinging of a lightsaber through a 360-degree turn. Thus, this manuever was sometimes referred to as Sai Tok Jung Ma. The use of sai tok became important during the Clone Wars, since it was one of the most effective ways to full disable a battle droid. (SWI62, EGF)

Sai Tok Jung Ma
see Sai Tok (SWGAL)

Sai'da
This B'omarr monk befriended Han Solo while the smuggler was held in Jabba the Hutt's palace, shortly after being released from his carbonite block by Princess Leia. Sai'da considered himself a historian, and longed for information about the outside world, especially the Galactic Civil War. (JHS)

Saiga
This was one of the many names given to female Bothans. In the Bothan language, it meant "wealthy" - or, more precisely, bejewled." (GCG, WOTC)

Saijo
This planet was once the site of an Alliance base, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. It was here that the Tofs made their final stand against the New Republic, shortly after the Battle of Endor. Despite Imperial backing from Lumiya, the Tofs were defeated. (NEGC, MC93, MC107)

Sail Barge
This was a form of huge, repulsorlift pleasurecraft which could be used over water, sand, or any relatively flat surface. Their repulsorlifts could move them along at speeds of 100 kilometers an hour, with a maxmimum ceiling of 10 meters. One of the most popular sail barges was produced by Ubrikkian Industries during the New Order, and was made even more popular because Jabba the Hutt bought one for his personal use while on Tatooine. Originally used by Hutts some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, the sail barge once again became the preferred mode of transportation used by the Hutts, since it allowed them to transport their huge bulk in comfort, while they ware surrounded by their retinues.

Jabba's sail barge, known as the Khetanna, was destroyed when Luke Skywalker and Han Solo escaped from the Sarlacc pit. Bogga the Hutt had a spaceworthy sail barge that he used to travel through the Stenness system. (E6, TOJ, SWSB, NEGV)

Sail Barge Gardens, The
This restaurant was noted for its interior décor, much of which was modeled after the interior of Jabba the Hutt's sail barge. In fact, several sections of the actual sail barge were recovered from the Pit of Carkoon after Jabba's death, and were integrated into the walls of the restaurant. Sunlights in the ceiling allowed filtered sunlight to illuminate the interior, creating what one restaurant critic called "a dappled grandeur." The Sail Barge Gardens boasted a quiet environment in which to have a drink or a romantic dinner, although the prices were considered to be expensive. However, the restaurant accepted most forms of currency, making it easy to pay for one's meal. (GPB)

Sailfish
This was a form of transport vessel that was produced by the Mon Calamari shipyards during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (DN2)

Sailor's Union
This union was formed on the planet Lamaredd, when several beings of non-human origins discovered that they were an invaluable part of Hugo Bartyn's illicit seafood business. Bartyn himself was a pro-human bigot, but couldn't discount the fact that many of the Mon Calamari and Quarren he imported to Lamaredd were exceptionally skilled mechanics and technicians. When these technicians realized that they were the only reason much of Bartyn's ocean-going fleet was still operational, they decided to form a bloc and demand a larger portion of the profits. Their ranks were augmented by the hanful of non-human ship captains working for Bartyn, and the Sailors' Union was founded when Sirrik Olyeg joined their group. She organied work stoppages and managed to channel the anger of the non-humans toward Bartyn himself. The base of operations for the Union was moved to the settlement of Farsands, on Jotsen's Island, and the Union remained a powerful force for many centuries on Lamaredd. Over time, the Union began accepting human members, despite its origins as a protest against the human treatment of aliens on Lamaredd. Centuries after its formation, the Sailors' Union found itself at the center of a whirlwind, after the predations of Hugo Bartyn were revealed to the population of Bartyn's Landing. When Guther Bartyn ceded control of Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies, control of the operation was passed to the Sailors' Union. (GMR7)

Sair
This was one of the most common male names among the Corellian population. (GMR9)

Sait, Andal
This man served as a Captain in the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. After months of planning, Captain Sait took his Star Destroyer into deep space, far from the eyes of his superiors, and planned to defect from Imperial service and sell his ship to Black Sun. With the assistance of Lieutenant Kenkirk, Captain Sait identified crewmen and officers who were loyal to him and would support the defection. Any soldiers who disagreed with the plans were discretely removed from their postings and held as prisoners aboard the ship. When the time came to meet with the crimelord Krix, Sait ordered all prisoners into the ship's escape pods, which were then jettisoned into space. (SWGAL)

Saiy, Barit
This young man was born to Corellian parents who lived on Coruscant during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. His parents, also born on Coruscant, owned an engineering shop in the Q-65 district of Galactic City, where they could be among other Corellians. When Thrackan Sal-Solo threatened to secede from the Galactic Alliance some ten years after the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, Barit was among the Corellian youths on Coruscant who protested for their homeworld's rights, even though many of them had never set foot on Corellia. Barit was befriended during this time by Ben Skywalker, when Ben was not yet a member of the Galactic Alliance Guard. Ben could not understand Barit's desire to fight for Corellian independence, given that the youth had been born of Coruscant and had never set foot on his ancestral homeworld.

Barit, however, saw the growing conflict between Corellia and the Galactic Alliance through the eyes of his father and grandfather, and had no qualms about taking up arms against the oppression of the Alliance. Thus, Ben was stunned to encountered Barit at a riot near the Rotunda Zone of Galactic City. Corellian protesters were angered that the water supply had been cut off to Corellian zones of the city, and when things got ugly, Barit drew a blaster and would have shot an officer of the Coruscant Security Force if Ben hadn't been at the scene. Using the Force, Ben deflected the blast, allowing the police time to arrest the rioters. Barit was among those taken prisoner, but Lon Shevu recognized that he was not acting out of vengeance or spite, but out of the fervor of being a teenager. Shevu worked behind the scenes to get Barit freed, and the young man agreed to serve as Shevu's eyes and ears on the street in return. (LF2, LF8)

Saiy's Workshop
This engineering workshop, located in the Q-65 district of Galactic City, was owned by the Saiy family. Located on Coruscant for three generations, the workshop was founded by Corellian immigrants during the final years of the Old Republic. It survived the Galactic Civil War and the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, but was abandoned when the Galactic Alliance Guard began extraditing Corellians during Thrackan Sal-Solo's bid for Corellian independence.

This aging, red star was orbited by the planet Saki, which was also known as Sakiya. (MBS)

Sakins
This man served as the Presider of Vannix, up until the point when Coruscant fell to the Yuuzhan Vong.

Sakins' departure left Vannix without a leader and virtually bankrupt. (EL2)

Sakirab
This was the code phrase used to recall TIE Fighters to their base in Revos, on Storinal. It was the name of the bunker controller's daughter. (WS)

Sakiya
This planet was the homeworld of the Sakiyan race. Note that this planet was name Saki in the Alien Anthology. Sakiya was a tropical world, located near the center of Hutt Space. Much of its landmass was covered with jungles and marshes, but it also had open stretches of savannah and hardwood forests, giving it a much nicer appearance than other humid worlds. It was orbited by a single, large moon, and the interaction of this moon with Sakiya's own gravity produced regular tides and helped evenly distribute the seasonal variations. (E1A5, ANT, MBS)

Sakiyan
A race of humanoids native to the planet Sakiya, Sakiyans were characterized by their deep, dark skin color and their huge crania. While black, purple, and red skin colors were mst prevelant, a pale-skinned subspecies was also known to exist. They also have pointed ears, giving them an almost devil-like appearance. Most Sakiyans have the ability to see into the infrared spectrum, and have keen senses. They were known for their skills as hunters, and have been sought out for employment as trackers and assassins. During much of the Old Republic, there was considerable debate on the classification of Sakiyans as near-human or alien. Imperial scientists firmly established them as alien, but could only cite the differences in the brain structure of the Sakiyans as the basis for their decision. Over the millennia of their civlization, the Sakiyans have resisted or survived invasions, from the ancient Sith to the Drackmarians. This made them wary and suspicious of the galactic community. The musculature and ligament-attachment angles of the Sakiyan body gave them incredible strength and agility, making a Sakiyan about half again as strong as a comparable human. (CCG, CCG9, E1A5, ANT, UANT, MBS)

Sakiyan
This was the name given to the native language of the Sakiyan people. (ANT)

Sakresh

Sal
This Shyriiwook word was used as the prefix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "lightning", "storm", or "thunder", and could be combined with one or more suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)

Sal
This man was a trader, who worked from a base in Hedrett, on the planet Cularin, during the final years of the Old Republic. When he was between jobs, he was often seen in the company of the Sullustan spacer Renna, and the Wookiee known as Ooorlak. Otherwise, Sal tended to keep to himself, as he found that attachments were bad for business. Although not outwardly criminal, Sal once revealed to Renna and Ooorlak that he had done some seriously bad things during his career, most of which he kept to himself. He turned his life around, however, after meeting Zelice Sturm, the so-called Black Queen. She took him in and told him of her own past, and her story changed his life. He turned over his criminal contacts to the Office of Public Safety and set himself on a legitimate pathway. When Sturm died on Almas during the Clone Wars, Sal treasured the only thing he had left of hers, a crystal on a necklace that he kept around his neck. (LFCW)

Sal, Tudan
This was the name of a noted Sakiyan individual. (UANT)

Sal, Tuden
This Sakiyan was an associate of Lorn Pavan, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. A small-time criminal, Tuden Sal owed Pavan a debt of gratitude because it was Pavan who got the Sakiyan a wealth of business selling liquor to a successful chain of Coruscant restaurants. The business made Tuden rich, and he never forgot Pavan's help. When Pavan was in trouble trying to escape Darth Maul, Tuden arranged for a driver to pick up Pavan and his droid, I-5YQ. Tuden also arranged for Pavan to obtain a Thixian Seven starship, which Pavan planned to use to finish his battle with Maul. Before he left, Lorn Pavan turned control of I-5YQ over to Tuden, so that the information contained in a holocron possessed by the droid could be brought to the attention of the Jedi Knights. The Sakiyan was both honored and pleased, because he had been coveting the droid for some time for his own use. However, he did not know that Lorn Pavan had taken on a mission of certain death, and was unaware of the true nature of I-5YQ and the droid's relationship to Lorn. In an attempt to gain control of the droid and to honor his promise to Lorn Pavan, Tuden Sal planned to wipe I-5YQ's memory banks and reprogram the droid as a bodyguard, before turning the holocron over to the Jedi Order. After dropping the droid off, Tuden Sal returned to his offices to find a competitor had stolen everything he owned and controlled, leaving Sal with nothing. In order to pay for his remaining bills and try to start over again, Sal sold the memory-wiped I-5YQ to a smuggler for quick credits. However, he learned that he had been blacklisted in both the public and criminal sectors, and a bounty was placed on his head. He was forced to sent his wife and children away and then go underground, hoping to eventually rebuild his life. After years of struggling, Tuden Sal learned that the competitor who had destroyed his business had been backed by then-Senator Palpatine. Thus, in the wake of the Clone Wars and the formation of the Galactic Empire, Tuden Sal joined the Whiplash group and did what he could to fight back against the Empire.

It was through his connection to Whiplash that Tuden Sal met Laranth Tarak, who provided him with the knowledge that I-5YQ was on Coruscant, working with Jax Pavan and his group of private investigators. Sal made his way to Pavan's residence, and tried to explain what had happened to bring him to his position in life. Jax listened intently, but I-5YQ could not find any sympathy for Tuden Sal. Ultimately, Jax realized that Tuden Sal felt no small amount of remorse for his actions, and that the Sakiyan genuinely believed that his actions might have led to the destruction of the Jedi Order. Despite this reaction, Sal explained that he was planning a mission to assassinate Emperor Palpatine, and believed that I-5YQ was the perfect weapon for the mission. As a droid, I-5YQ could be disguised as a simple protocol unit, which would allow him access to the Emperor's offices. Because it was not sentient, I-5YQ would not exhibit any evidence of its intentions through the Force, so the Emperor and his minions would not be able to anticipate its attack until it was too late. Jax feared that Tuden Sal was acting on an impulse to exact a measure of revenge against the Empire and Black Sun, and that these desires clouded his judgement on the use of I-5YQ. Jax was not happy when Thi Xon Yimmon, the leader of the Whiplash organization, supported Tuden Sal's plans, since they had a good chance of success, and might save billions of beings from suffering at the hands of the Empire.

Jax might have agreed with Tuden Sal's plans, until he discovered that I-5YQ could be sensed through the Force during the rescue of Kajin Savaros from three Imperial Inquisitors. When Jax explained that this meant he could not support the assassination plan, Tuden Sal accused him of twisting events to his own needs, so that I-5YQ would not be damaged. Tuden Sal pushed for the removal of much of I-5YQ's programming, hoping to strip the droid's programming kernel to its most basic functions, but I-5YQ reminded him that this would also restore the programming that kept the droid from injuring a living being. In the days that followed, Tuden Sal was resigned to forgetting the mission until Den Dhur arrived to explain that Jax and I-5YQ had already left their conapt for a meeting with Darth Vader. After gathering Thi Xon Yimmon and a group of Whiplash operatives, Sal and Dhur reached the meeting place, only to find that Vader had consumed a sample of bota and had become a living weapon. The Dark Lord spewed Force energy in every direction, keeping the Whiplash agents at a distance. (DMSH, CN3)

Salaktori Hunters Guild
This freelance bounty hunters' guild was run by the members of House Salaktori, and was active during the height of the New Order. It was one of the oldest bounty-hunting guilds in the galaxy, dating back well into the Old Republic. The Guild's leader, Jeslor Salaktori, was known as a strong man who stood up for his member hunters to the Imperial officers who confronted them. It was a known fact that no being - hunter or not - who killed a member of the Salaktori guild had lived more than a year after the incident. (GG10)

Salespeak 7
This translator droid, produced during the early years of the New Republic, was the first of its kind to be able to translate between Basic and Shyriiwook in realtime, allowing Wookiees to be able to communicate with non-Wookiees. Although these small droids were originally intended to be used by Wookiee diplomats, a number of them were put to criminal use by Wookiee marketeers, who used them to launch a holozine subscription scam on Coruscant. (GPB)

Saleucami
This planet, the primary world in the Saleucami Systen, was noted for its vast deserts and pockets of unusual, bulbous plantlife. The larger plants resembled huge, conical fungi that grew in several layers, while thick-bladed grasses covered its plains. Saleucami, a name which surprisingly meant "oasis" in the native language the planet's Wroonian settlers, was an arid world marked by volcanic calderas formed by powerful meteor strikes. This meant that the many oases found on the planet were filled with magma, not water. Although many saw this as a problem, the natives used the available magma as a source of power.

Saleucami was the site of an intense battle during the final days of the Clone Wars, after the planet was singled out by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine as one of the Outer Rim worlds that would be targetted by the Grand Army of the Republic. According to Palpatine, the worlds of Mygeeto, Felucia, and Saleucami were a "triad of evil" that served as Separatist bastions. Much of his statements were true, as Sora Bulq had established a cloning facility on the planet, where he was producing clones of the Morgukai warriors for Count Dooku and the armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Ostensibly, Palpatine ordered troops to Saleucami and several other worlds as a way to end the Outer Rim Sieges and bring the Clone Wars to a halt. In reality, it was just another ruse to spread the Jedi too thin to support each other. Jedi Masters Oppo Rancisis and Stass Allie led a contingent of clone troopers into the fighting, which lasted for many days before the Republic seemed to emerge victorious. However, Palpatine issued the Order Sixty-Six command to the clones, who then turned their fire on the Jedi and eliminated them. (OWS, LEV, RT, SWDB, LAWS, CWTV31)

Salforo
This plant, native to the planet Kirdo III, was a thick-bodied plant which was eaten by the chooba. (GG4)

Salfur, Cobb
A native of Ovise III, this New Republic entrepreneur maintained Salfur's Trading Post on the forest moon of Endor. Salfur himself was drafted as part of the strike team assembled by the Alliance during the mission to destroy the second Death Star, but he found himself in the brig more often than not. After he got into a fight with a Dressellian aboard the Home One, he was discharged from military service. He traveled for a few short months, Salfur was again hired by the New Republic, this time as the watchman over the Forest Moon of Endor. The initial funding for Salfur's Trading Post came from the New Republic Intelligence agency, which needed a landing place after the Imperial garrison was removed, and which unobtrusively used it as a source of information on the Moddell Sector. Although business was initially good during the years immediately following the Battle of Endor, Salfur saw profits tail off as travel into Moddell Sector became more and more hazardous. Many members of the Intelligence community suspected that Salfur was part of the rokna blue processing operations, but no evidence was ever found to link him to the production of the chemical. (DFRSB, GMR9, GORW)

Salfur's Trading Post
This large landing area and trading post was set up by the New Republic near Bright Tree Village on Endor's forest moon, during the years immediately following the Battle of Endor. It was set above the forest floor about ten meters on huge columns, and was surrounded by a force field that kept the moon's indigenous lifeforms out at night. The post was manned on an as-needed basis, and staffing levels correspond to the New Republic's visits to the moon. The funding for the trading post came from the New Republic Intelligence agency, which used the post as a landing point after the Imperial garrison on the moon was dismantled. Although business was initially good during the years immediately following the Battle of Endor, Salfur saw profits tail off as travel into Moddell Sector became more and more hazardous. (DFRSB, GMR9, GORW)

Salik City

Salinrerian Sea
This was one of the many distinct areas of ocean found on the planet Mon Calamari. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, a seismic disaster occurred in a deep rift in this sea, which was later attributed to the terrorist group Calamasthon Defiance. The event caused untold environmental damage, and resulted in a perpetual rain in the immediate area. Slaag Lado was eventually captured by Jango Fett and brought to Mon Calamari for questioning in the event. (BH)

Salis D'aar
Bakura's capital city and the Imperial seat, Salis D'aar was located on the southwestern coast of Prytis, at the headwaters of the East and West Rivers. The city, located atop the outcropping known as D'aarmont, was designed to imitate the vista of stars and planets in the system, with its streets and major buildings forming roughly concentric circles when mapped out. The center of the circle was the Bakur Complex. Each of the three major districts within the city had different lighting schemes: the inner circle, dominated by public buildings, had pale blue lights; the middle district, set aside as the residential and commercial center of the city, had pale yellow lights; and the outer circle, which contained the city's service buildings and industries, had deep red lights. These lights, like many other pieces of technology on Bakura, were supported by tiny repulsorlifts. A spaceport was located just south of the city, still on the plateau of D'aarmont, and served as Bakura's primary spaceport for many years. (TB, TBSB, GORW)

Unfortunately, most of the Salissians were killed by the very droids they were trying to destroy. (MBS, CN1)

Salkeli
This male Rodian was one of the leaders of the Freedom movement, serivng Malinza Thanas during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When the location of the Stack was discovered, it was Salkeli who volunteered to get Jaina Solo to safety. In reality, Salkeli had been working for Blaine Harris all along, and stunned Jaina into submission before bringing her to Harris. He explained to Jaina that Freedom had gotten in too deep, and was about to expose information that was best kept in secrecy. However, when Harris was shot by Cundertol and the plot to subjugate Bakura was exposed, Salkeli was arrested and charged with a wide variety of crimes. Each and every charge was sentenced to jail time, and Salkeli was forced to spend much of the rest of his life in jail. (FH2)

Salky
This was a domesticated species of the Kath hound. The salky was a popular pet among the wealthier population of the planet Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. These creatures were distinguished by their full mane, which covered the head and shoulders, and gave the salky a more pleasant appearance than the original Kath hound. (RCTC)

Salliche Ag
see Salliche Agricultural Corporation (SWJ2, OWS)

Salliche Agricultural Corporation
This Imperial agricultural conglomerate that owned planets in the Yulant, Ruan, and Broest Systems. After the Battle of Endor, the workers on many Salliche Ag planets rebelled against the company by burning fields and destroying hydroponics facilities. In an effort to avoid such rebellion in the future, Salliche Ag replaced much of its workforce with droids. However, after the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Salliche Ag began shutting the droids down and welcomed refugess to worlds like Ruan. Salliche Ag claimed to be helping the refugees by giving them shelter in return for their labor, which gave the corporation the ability to claim their their produce was truly "handpicked." In reality, Salliche Ag was eliminating their droid workforce in preparation for the Yuuzhan Vong's takeover of the galaxy. If their workforce was organic, the leaders of Salliche Ag believed that they would get preferential treatment from the Yuuzhan Vong. They also planned to offer the now-useless droids to the Vong as a sacrifice and a token of their esteem. (SWJ2, JE)

Sallisian Throwing Whorl
This unusual weapon was considered archaic during the final decades of the Old Republic, since blasters and other ranged weapons were much more effective in taking down a target. Only a few obscure groups maintained the traditions and techniques of using the Sallisian throwing whorl, including the Gray Paladins offshoot of the Jedi Order. (CN1)

Salloon
This Muurian transport was part of the smuggler fleet which agreed to supply the Alliance with arms, just prior to the Battle of Endor. (XWA)

Sallowe, Sardu
This being - it was believed that he was human - was one of the galaxy's best trackers, during the height of the New Order. Sardu's face was hidden beneath a heavy cloak, and was covered with a complex respirator that allowed him to discover the underlying scents of his surroundings. It was rumored that Sardu was the son of moisture farmers who were attacked by Tusken Raiders. Left to die, Sardu was taken in by a clan of Jawas and raised to adulthood. He developed his clothing to mimic the appearance of a Jawa, complete with glowing, yellow eyes and the respirator unit. This device allowed him to track his quarry by scent. Sardu was attended by a swarm of Jawa assistants, who served as information scouts to assist in his searches. He even traveled the deserts of Tatooine in a TaggeCo Survey-class crawler, a smaller version of the huge Sandcrawlers used by the Jawas. Sardu Sallowe was hired by Embra the Hutt to assist Zuckuss and 4-LOM locate the Yavin Vassilika, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. (UYV, GMR6)

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

Salm, Horton
A native of Norval II, Salm was a decorated Y-Wing pilot who served the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. He earned the rank of Colonel, and was given command of the Aggressor Wing shortly after the Battle of Endor, and led his Y-Wings during the Battle of Brentaal. After the battle, Salm was promoted to General. A small-statured man who believed in hard work and dedication to his cause, he disdained the exposure and fame given to Rogue Squadron, feeling that the hot-shot X-Wing pilots believed they were superior to Y-Wing pilots. During the hunt for Prince-Admiral Krennel, Salm commanded a B-Wing squadron based on the Moonshadow. (XWES, XWN, IR)

Salmakk
This Mon Calamari was a noted smuggler whose band constructed an outpost on the planet Hoth during the early years of the New Order. The outpost was nearly destroyed when Han Solo and Luke Skywalker traveled to Hoth to see if the planet would serve as a new location for the Alliance's base of operations, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. Solo had been to Hoth once before, and had considered Salmakk as an equal. However, the bounty on Solo's head was too great for Salmakk to ignore, and he opened fire on them. In an effort to escape, Luke and Han mistakenly flew into the smugglers' base. Trying to survive, Luke used his lightsaber to set off a chain reaction of icy stalactites falling from the ceiling, burying the smugglers and their ships. Salmakk and his smugglers gave up trying to capture Solo, and decided to leave Hoth rather than rebuilding their former base. When the Alliance eventually decided that Hoth would serve as their new base, Salmakk's former outpost became the Alliance's Echo Base. Salmakk disappeared for several years, but never left the Anoat Sector and eventually reappeared in a partnership with the Mugarri pirate, Clabbrun the Younger. Unknown to the authorities, the pair was actually under the employment of Figg Excavations. Salmakk and Clabburn were eventually apprehended and questioned about their activities, but were later released in exchange for information on their contacts within FiggEx. (EGA, 3D2, WOA34)

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

Salporin
This Wookiee was a friend of Chewbacca's. A native to the planet Kashyyyk, Salporin was born in Kachirho and lived there most of his life. Shortly before the Battle of Geonosis, he fell in love with Gorrlyn. The two were among the many Wookiee soldiers who took part in the First Battle of Kashyyyk, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. Salporin served under Merumeru during the fighting. Like many Wookiees, Salporin was forced into slavery during the era of the New Order, until he was freed by Alliance commandos during the Galactic Civil Wars. Several years later, Salporin welcomed Chewbacca back home during the early years of the New Republic, when Chewbacca brought Leia Organa-Solo to Kashyyyk to keep her safe during her first pregnancy. Their plan was eventually discovered by Grand Admiral Thrawn, wh dispatched a group of Noghri assassins to eliminate her. Salporin was one of the many Wookiees who had been protecting Leia, but he was killed by Imperial forces while trying to defend her. (HTTE, SWDB)

Sal-Solo, Thrackan
This Corellian man was Han Solo's first cousin, being the son of Han's father's sister. As the result of genetics, Thrackan looked and sounded very much like Han himself, and the pair were often mistaken for each other throughout their lives. Thrackan, however, became a little heavier-set with age, with a little more gray in his hair, and a beard.

As children, Thrackan continually bullied Han, until he was able to sell Han to Garris Shrike. Thrackan claimed to have been a highly-ranked Imperial officer in the Corellian Sector during the time of the Empire, but he was acutally just an employee of the Imperial Governor on Corellia. He dreamed of attending the Imperial Academy, but Han's dishonorable discharge put a black mark on the Solo name. Nevertheless, Thrackan showed promise, and was the heir-apparent for the position of Diktat when he supposedly died, at about the same time Han became a smuggler.

Thrackan actually went underground, and began plotting the secession of the Corellian Sector from the enforced interspecies relations the Empire demanded. When the New Republic emerged, Thrackan continued to remain hidden, and built the Human League as the beginnings of his pro-human plans. He became the League's Hidden Leader, and he emerged from his hiding just after he initiated the intra-species wars in the Corellian Sector, just prior to the Corellian Trade Summit.

With Chief of State Leia Organa-Solo confined to the Sector, Trackan announced the secession of the Sector from the New Republic, and declared himself Diktat. Using technology he didn't understand, Thrackan erected a huge interdiction field around the Corellian System, centered at Centerpoint Station. In the confusion that surrounded the inter-species fighting and the isolation from the Republic, Thrackan captured Han and held him prisoner, hoping to use him to maintain control of Leia. Thrackan continually harangued his cousin, lashing out in drunken fits of rage. He even pitted Han against Selonians in forced battle, just for pleasure. This worked against him, however, when Han and the Selonian - Dracmus - eventually escaped by working together. Their escape was soon followed by an assault from the New Republic, which was bolstered by Bakuran forces, and which managed to penetrate the interdiction field erected in the sector.

Feeling his fragile plans collapsing, Thrackan ordered the kidnapping of Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin Solo. This action also backfired, as it was the children, with the help of Chewbacca, Ebrihim, and the Drallian Duchess Marcha, who discovered the key to the planetary repulsors hidden within the planets of the Corellian System.They also slipped through his grasp, during the battle between the Sacorrian Triad and the New Republic. Thrackan gave chase, but the children managed to damage his ship enough to allow it to be captured by the Intruder's tractor beam. Thrackan was placed in jail and eventually convicted of a multitude of crimes.

After spending eight years at the Dorthas Tal prison on Selonia, Thrackan was given a chance to prove his rehabilitation by helping the archaeologists aboard Centerpoint Station discover how to reactivate it. He later was part of the team assigned to discover if the station could be used as a weapon against the Yuuzhan Vong. When it was learned that the Yuuzhan Vong had attacked Fondor instead of Corellia, Thrackan and his workforce insisted that Anakin Solo use his connection to the Station and his abilities with the Force to fire on the Yuuzhna Vong fleet at Fondor. Anakin refused, so Thrackan took the shot himself. Unfortunately, the shot was inaccurate, and destroyed much of the Hapan fleet which was supporting the New Republic. It also grazed the planet Fondor itself, and wiped out the Yuuzhan Vong armada. Despite the political repercussions from the Hapes Consortium, Thrackan Sal-Solo was portrayed as the hero of the Battle of Fondor for taking the shot which caused so much destruction to the alien forces.

With the ouster of Governor-General Marcha, Thrackan suddenly found himself a leading candidate to lead the Corellian Sector as an independent entity. His actions, despite their failure to do any good, made him something of a hero in the Corellian Sector, and gained him the election to Governor General. He clamped down on the security measures in the sector, assuming command of the Centerpoint Party and striving to ensure that the sector was not compromised by the New Republic or the Yuuzhan Vong. However, in the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant, Thrackan Sal-Solo threw his support to the Yuuzhan Vong, and offered to sign a "treaty of friendship" with them in return for the recognition of the Corellian Sector's neutrality. Rather than allow Thrackan to return to Corellia, however, Supreme Overlord Shimrra appointed him President of Ylesia and the Commander in Chief of the Peace Brigade. Unfortunately, Thrackan was captured by the New Republic on Ylesia, where he also learned that the Centerpoint Party had exiled him from the Corellian Sector. After being incarcerated by the Republic, Thrackan was extradited back to Corellia to stand trial.

In the years following the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, Sal-Solo managed to avoid a lengthy prison sentence, and eventually re-established himself as a leader in the Corellian System. He began pushing for Corellian independence from the Galactic Alliance, and established the Kiris Shipyards as a contigency plan for secession. He saw his chance some ten years after the Yuuzhan Vong war, when the Galactic Alliance made an attempt to prevent Corellian secession. Sal-Solo removed the Minister of War from power and inserted himself in the role, forcing his opinions on Five World Prime Minister Aidel Saxan.

With Saxan's death, Thrackan began his own push for more power, installing himself as the President of Five Worlds and openly denouncing the Galactic Alliance. Eventually, his antics aroused the consternation of many Corellians, many of whom had their own political reasons for eliminating him. Dur Gejjen eventually hired Boba Fett to kill Thrackan, and the Mandalorian bounty hunter wasted no time in completing the task. With the help of Mirta Gev and the angry Han Solo, Fett cornered Thrackan in his office, under the guise of discussing Sal-Solo's offer of employment as a mercenary. With little preamble, Thrackan was killed by multiple blaster wounds to his head and body, as all three hunters fired on him. His death prompted the formation of a coalition government on Corellia, with Dur Gejjen at its head. (AC, AS, SC, JE, BP, REC, Y, NEGC, LF1, LF2, LF3)

She was far from attractive, especially in her old age. (TPS)

Salting the Ether
This slang term was used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe the act of planning bogus mission profiles and transmitting them to other units. These messages were often encrypted, and were designed to trick Imperial Intelligence units into spending the time to decode them. The idea of "salting the ether" was also used to trick Imperial military units into deploying forces where they weren't needed, either as part of an ambush mission, as a feint for a real mission, or to flush out spies or informants. (GG9)

Saltnut
This was a legume that was grown on the planet Corellia. It was often ground into a thick, butter-like paste that could be spread on bread. By itself, saltnut butter was quite tasty. However, its taste was dramatically altered by certain jams and jellies, including bluefruit jam. When these two spreads were combined in a sandwich, the resulting taste was said to gag a sand cat. (MJH)

This clone commander was promoted to lead the 32nd Air Combat Wing, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. A battle-hardened veteran, Salvo was distinguished by his rust-colored armor and the motto "LIVE TO SERVE!" laser-etched onto the left side of his helmet. Salvo was assigned to the task force, led by Jedi Master Roan Shryne, that was dispatched to retake the planet Murkhana, just prior to the command to execute Order 66. He was unprepared for the actions of Climber and Ion Team, who refused to allow the Jedi to be executed. Ion Team fired their ECD grenades in such a way that the explosions blinded Salvo and his men, rendering their helmet systems inoperable for a brief period. Climber than gave Shryne and the other Jedi a headstart on their escape. Initially, Salvo made no attempt to reprimant Ion Team for their actions, waiting instead to see if the Jedi could be captured and killed before reporting on their dissention. (RDV)

(LJ7)

SA-M3
This Clone Wars-vintage droid was owned by K'cri Elban, and often played the synthtone at K'cri's Cafe. (GG2)

Saman
This man worked as a bartender at the Triton Besh Port cantina, during the early years of the New Order. When Shandy Fanaso tried to establish his own establishment, which was known as Shandy's Place and was housed inside the starship Corellian Gambit, Saman found himself spending a great deal of time in the new cantina. Although he was often inebriated, Saman was sometimes asked to tend the bar while Fanaso made sure that his supplies were ready for the next crowd. When Fanaso was later accused of breaking the new Rules of Law that were enacted because of his cantina, Saman went back to working at the cantina in the Triton Besh Port. He was somewhat amused when he learned that Fanaso had been forced to recite the entire 313 parts of the Tract of Gactimus in the port's cantina, as part of his devotion-service to work off his debts. When Herglic travelers began tipping Fanaso for his recitations, Saman began charging him room and board, keeping Fanaso in debt until the very end of his service. (OWS)

Samana
This city was located on the southern tip of the Betu continent, on the planet Rodia. (SPG)

Samaria
This arid, desert-covered planet was one of the first worlds visited by Darth Vader, in the wake of the Clone Wars. A small planet, Samaria was located in the Leemurtoo System of the Core Worlds. Vader's presence coincided with Bog Divinian's attempt to be elected the planetary leader, in an effort to peacefully bring Imperial law to the planet. In order to make the planet more livable, the capital city of Sath was sculpted from the surrounding desert, and a vast bay was dug from the ground. For many generations, Samaria had been a rival of its sister world, Rosha. The Samarians were noted for their macrotechnology, while the Roshans were known for their microtechnology. In the wake of the Clone Wars, a trade agreement was proposed between the two planets, but it was smashed by Bog Divinian as part of larger plot by Emperor Palpatine. As soon as the Roshans were implicated in an assassination attempt on Divinian's life, the Samarian government set in motion plans to attack Rosha. However, once it was learned that the two worlds had been manipulated, the Samarians and the Roshans both agreed to work together, and the two governments allied themselves with the growing Moonstrike resistance movement. (LJ5, LJ6, LJ10)

Samarian
This was the name used to describe the human natives of the planet Samaria. As a people, the Samarians were known for their macrotechnologies, producing the vast computer systems used to run cities and planets throughout the galaxy. This made them something of business rivals of their in-system neighbors, the Roshans, who were experts in the field of microtechnology. Despite the fact that Rosha had sided with the Separatist during the Clone Wars, most Samarians supported a plan to openly trade with the Roshans, thereby complementing their own technologies. During the final years of the Old Republic and the early years of the New Order, most Samarians were fond of wearing small, personal droid helpers - known as PD units, or simply Peteys - on their shoulders. These PDs kept track of everything, from the amount of fuel in one's speeder to the kind of tea they liked, thereby freeing the Samarians from having to remember everything. The use of PD units was integrated into the computer backbone of the capital city of Sath, so that an individual could move about the city and find the things they needed with relative ease. However, after it was learned that Bog Divinian's PD unit had been sabotaged, many Samarians stopped using the droids, fearful that they were being monitored by the Roshans. This was, of course, Divinian's plan all along. Once it was learned that the two worlds had been manipulated, the Samarians and the Roshans both agreed to work together, and the two governments allied themselves with the growing Moonstrike resistance movement (LJ5, LJ6, LJ10)

Samarine Province
This planet was located seven kiloparsecs from Damualer Triac. (GG9)

Samdew
This man, a native of the planet Typha-Dor, was a member of Shalini's resistance group during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Mezdec claimed that it was Samdew who had been planning to undermine the group's efforts by transmitting the exact location of their base on TY44, just before Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker arrived in the Uziel System to mediate a cease-fire. Mezdec claimed that he had awakened to find Samdew at the communications station, and shot him with a blaster to stop him. In the ensuing firefight, Rajana shot Samdew in the chest, killing him instantly. It was later revealed that it was Mezdec, not Samdew, who was the traitor, and that Mezdec had tried to kill Samdew to cover his tracks. Four other members of their group were killed when the fire systems activated in their quarters, shutting down their oxygen supply. There deaths were also attributed to Mezdec. (JQ7)

Samuel
This was the only name used by the leader of the small outpost that was visited by Darca Nyl, some six months after the Battle of Naboo. Samuel had discovered a rich lode of ore in the crust of a remote planet, and set up a mining operation that made him wealthy and powerful, at least in his own circle of friends. Just before Nyl's arrival, Samuel's daughter Leddar had been kidnapped, and Darca Nyl had interfered with the capture of one of the suspects. Samuel himself was an immense, bald-headed man who was distinguished by the minimalistic cybernetic prosthesis that replaced his right arm. Samuel agreed to drop any charges against Nyl, so long as he helped locate his daughter and bring the kidnappers to justice. He also agreed to provide Darca with information on the Lycan Dark Jedi he was tracking. Leddar had been captured by Royce, who was once Samuel's business partner. Royce was holding the girl in revenge for Samuel's actions, which involved obtaining complete ownership of the planet and its resources, despite the fact that both Samuel and Royce had found the world together. Although Darca Nyl managed to defuse the situation, he exposed Samuel's true nature to Leddar. Samuel, for his part, finally realized that Leddar was the most important thing in his life. (T21)

Samuro
This ancient Jedi Knight captured and imprisoned the energy vampire known as Countess Rajine, many centuries before the onset of the Clone Wars. Samuro gave his own life to ensure that Rajine was unable to leave her fortress, and left behind his loyal droid, Z-18. Z-18 was forced into servitude by Countess Rajine, but kept its master's Jedi holocron hidden in its service bay. When Rajine managed to capture Jedi Master Mace Windu during the height of the Clone Wars, Z-18 helped free Windu, and turned over the holocron to him for safe keeping. Before he died, however, Samuro managed to trap the life energies of all Rajine's victims in the holocron. This was possible because Rajine kept her victims around as zombies to defend her fortress. Thus, when Master Mindu activated the holocron, he received Samuro's message, which explained what he had done. A second message was meant for Rajine, which Master Windu later replayed for her. In the message, Samuro explained that he was a Jedi, and could not seek revenge on Rajine for what she had done to him. However, he was under no compulsion to prevent the zombies from carrying out their own retribution. The end of the message freed all the zombies from Rajine's control, and they promptly attacked and killed her. (CWA9)

Samvil
This was the name given to the demon who ruled the underworld, according to Sakiyan religious beliefs. (MBS)

San
This Twi'lek owned and operated the Mechanical Allies droid sales and repair facility, located aboard Sel Zonn Station, during the early years of the New Order. Many beings who worked on the station questioned how San could stay in business, since most of his merchandise was shoddy at best. Their confusion only grew when Mechanical Allies remained open, after the Empire assumed control of the station. San managed to stay in business as much through his own business acumen as his ability to pay off Imperial agents when necessary. (DD01)

San, Kurth
This burly, dark-skinned man was a member of the Old Republic military, and served as the Base Commander for the garrison in the city of Soboll during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Whiel stationed on Cularin, Major San was loyal to his commanding officer, Jir Tramsig, and would do anything Tramsig ordered. (LFC)

San, Lu
This Gossam was born and raised on Nar Shaddaa, during the final decades of the Old Republic. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Lu San was forced to live in an internment camp with many other Gossams, suffering from Emperor Palpatine's galaxy-wide persecution of their race. During this time, Lu San made several important contacts within Nar Shaddaa's criminal underworld, including Rej Taunt. It was Lu San who agreed to help Taunt work a deal between a Black Sun vigo and the Colicoids, hoping to exchange a cargo of frozen eopie meat for a shipment of deactivated buzz droids. Lu San served as the primary negotiator, and managed to secure the buzz droids before the Colicoids decided to sabotage the exchange and attacked them. Lu San tried to prevent any bloodshed, but the Colicoids simply tore apart and consumed his body. (MF)

san Sk'ar, Bentilais
This immense Kaleesh was assigned the rank of Imperial General, and was placed in command of the garrison on Shiva IV shortly, after the Battle of Hoth. Distinguished by his grayish-purple skin, toothy jaws and jutting chin, General Sk'ar was at the forefront of his homeworld's armed forces when the Empire discovered them. The Imperial forces were led by then-Captain Thrawn, who had misinterpreted Kaleesh artwork and leveled the planet. Sk'ar realized that he had been beaten by a superior foe with superior technology, and gladly surrendered to Captain Rel Bentin.

Bentin took Sk'ar back to Coruscant, where he brought the Kaleesh warrior to the attention of Emperor Palpatine. Palpatine wasted no time in adding Sk'ar to his military, and had him trained to conquer and subjugate other races. This led to Sk'ar's mission to Shiva IV, where he ordered the captured of Aron Peacebringer and Leia Organa just after the destruction of the city of K'avor. Sk'ar's goal was to subjugate the populace of Shiva IV and conscript the strongest survivors to become soldiers for the Empire. He believed that defeating Aron in combat would break the spirit of the Calian Confederacy and make his job that much easier.

It was Sk'ar who had ordered the destruction of K'avor, an event he hoped to repeat at Illyriaqum during the celebration of the signing of the Concordat of Peace. His dreams of power were shattered, however, when Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, and Chewbacca arrived on Shiva IV to rescue Leia. They apprehended Sk'ar's warship as it attempted to destroy Illyriaqum, and Leia managed to disarm the bomb Sk'ar planned to drop on the city. Protected by a personal shield, Sk'ar tried to escape in an airship, but Chewbacca was able to destroy the ship before it could flee. Sk'ar died in the explosion. (MC53, MC54, OWS)

Sancor
This diminutive being was one of the first Imperial Inquisitors, serving Emperor Palpatine during the months following the Clone Wars. Much of his small body was hidden underneath a heavy cloak, although his triple-jointed fingers were often seen when he was accessing a computer terminal. When he spoke, Sancor revealed a mouth full of small, sharp teeth. Sancor was dispatched to Polis Massa after Inquisitor Malorum discovered a connection between the Jedi Order and the asteroid base. An expert of records security, Sancor was sent to Polis Massa to dig through the base's medical records, in an effort to locate anomalies that would provide proof of Padme's Amidala's presence on the asteroid following the formation of the Empire. When he discovered that Maneeli Tuun and Obi-Wan Kenobi were on Polis Massa, disguised as medical and personnel, he tried to apprehend them. During the fight, however, Obi-Wan managed to use the Force to push Sancor off a platform. The Inquisitor fell to his death, landing on a cart covered with medical instruments. Maneeli Tuun later explained to Inquisitor Malorum that Sancor had accidentally fallen to his death. (LJ2, LJ4)

Sancretti Arms and Munitions, Interstellar
This Rodian weapons manufacturer produced a number of cryogenic weapons. (FOP)

Sanctuary
This was the codename of one of the Alliance's oldest safe world colonies. The base on Sanctuary was established even before the official Declaration of Rebellion. The planet became a refuge for persecuted religious pacifists who agreed to join the Alliance so long as they did not have to take up arms. The planet, an ocean-covered world with just a few island archipelagos for landmasses, was home to a huge variety of fish and seaweed. (RASB)

Sanctuary
This was the Ferroan name for the planet Mobus, used after the mobile planet Zonama Sekot took up residence in orbit around Mobus. (FH3)

Sanctuary Moon
This was another name for the Forest Moon of Endor, used by the Old Republic after setting the enrtire moon aside as a nature reserve. Scientists of the Old Republic hoped that the designation would keep tourists and corporate interests from interfering with the natural development of its sentient species. (E6, IWST)

Sanctuary Pipeline
This extension of the Silvestri Trace hyperspace lane was formed by the Empire, so that it could bring supplies and workers to the Forest Moon of Endor, during the construction of the second Death Star. Because travel through the Inner Zuma region of the galaxy was dangerous, the Sanctuary Pipeline was built using non-mass S-thread boosters in hyperspace all along the Pipeline, which provided continual information on the next point along the path. Maintenance crews were hired to clear the realspace path of the Pipeline of debris, ensuring that there were no unknown mass shadows being projected into hyperspace. The Sanctuary Pipeline required near-continual maintenance and upkeep, but allowed the Empire to regularly supply the crews working on the second Death Star. After the Battle of Endor, the Sanctuary Pipeline fell into disrepair, as natural disasters and the theft of the S-thread boosters left large portions of it unnavigable. (GMR9)

Sanctum Arcti
Located in the city of Calius Saj Leeloo, this was one of the most famous of all structures ever erected on the planet Berchest. It miraculously survived an intense earthquake which shook the city, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. (HNN4)

Sanctum of the Exalted
This building was constructed by the ancient Feeorins on the planet Odryn, as a place of peace and contemplation that could be used by the eldest and strongest member of their race. This being, known as the Exalted, was the only being allowed to enter the Santcum, although the Exalted could name close advisors and comrades would could join them inside. It was believed that the spirits of the dead Feeorin elders lived within the Sanctum of the Exalted, and that these spirits had creating the regular passage of the seasonson Odryn. Only one non-Feeorin was ever allowed to enter the Sanctum at one time, as the ancient Feeorin laws prescribed.

During the era of the Mandalorian Wars, the Feeorin elder Feln was chosen to join the Jedi Order. Because he was the current Exalted, he was allowed to maintain his rank on Odryn, while serving as a Jedi Master. In this way, Feln was able to usurp control of the Sanctum of the Exalted, and turned it over to The Covenant as a place to store the Sith artifacts they discovered in the galaxy. The Covenant believed that even the Jedi were not capable of keeping the artifacts from being used for evil, and chose to store anything they found in the Sanctum. A collection of data analysis and research droids were kept within the Sanctum, keeping track of the many artifacts that were stored there, as well as investigating the powers of the artifacts and attempting to find a way to destroy them all. However, the storage of, and research on, these artifacts created a form of nexus for Dark Side energy, and the emanations of these artifacts caused environmental and ecological problems on Odryn.

When Zayne Carrick was directed to enter the Sanctum on the orders of Celeste Morne, who had imprisoned herself in Lord Dreypa's Oubliette in order to contain the Muur Talisman, Feln was forced to return to Odryn and determine the situation. He and the other members of The Covenant feared that Zayne would be able to expose The Covenant to the Jedi Council, and so Feln placed a series of explosives inside the Sanctum. He had not planned to use them, since the Sanctum was sacred to the Feeorin people, but when Jarael returned to Odryn to pick up Zayne, Feln feared that all might be lost. He detonated the explosives, utterly destroying the Sanctum of the Exalted and destroying the trove of artifacts that had been stored inside. The destruction of the Sith artifacts created a massive firestorm that swept outward from the Sanctum, rendering the surrounding Feeorin settlement a burning wasteland. (KORV, KOR8)

Sand Snake
This furred snake was native to the planet Geonosis. These reptiles were noted for the way they moved about, using a zig-zag pattern instead of moving in a straight line. This led to the common phrase "crooked as a sand snake." (BF1, DSTR)

Sand Tick
This large insect, about the size of a human fist, was native to a number of planets. These creatures lacked true eyes and ears, and relied on their ability to sense vibrations in order to interpret their environment. These insects fed on the blood of mammalian species, burrowing into the thick fur of beasts such as the bantha and feeding for several months before killing the host. An individual tick can survive without blood for up to a year, curling into a ball to await the presence of a new host. Despite their hunger for blood, the most dangerous aspect of a sand tick was its ability to carry and transmit diseases. When the sand tick bites, it injects a small amount of numbing saliva, which can also carry viral and bacterial infections. (WOTC, UA)

Sand Well
Found on the planet Socorro, these vast sinkholes formed in the volcanic-ash deserts of the Doaba Badlands.

It created an electronic field that affected the creature's innate senses, driving them away from the area. (SWI61)

Sand-casting
This was a unique form of artwork that was produced by artists who lived on the planet Tatooine. (ISB, JST1)

Sandcrawler
A huge, lumbering contraption that moved about on four tracks, the sandcrawler was used as both a transport and a warehouse by the Jawas. Although the term "sandcrawler" had been used since the time of the Mandalorian Wars, the term was most often used to describe Corellia Engineering Mining Digger Crawlers, ore haulers brought to Tatooine during the first attempts to extract ores and valubale minerals from the planet. Tatooine, however, had a limited natural ores which had strange, magnetic characteristics, and so the haulers were abandoned after the destruction of the space station Tatoo III. The various Jawa clans assumed ownership and used them to traverse the deserts. A Jawa sandcrawler was refitted to house nearly 100 clan members, as well as to accommodate a large cargo hold and processing station. The operation of a sandcrawler was nearly impossible for a non-Jawa, as many of the onboard systems had been modified to suit the Jaws' needs. The primary advantage to using these slow machines was the protection they afforded a Jawa clan in the open desert. The inside of a sandcrawler was relatively cool, and the armor plating protected the Jawas from Sandpeople and smaller krayt dragons. (E4, TME, GG7, EGV, RESB, SOT, WOTC)

Sander
This Imperial Moff was one of the eight which survived to meet with Grand Admiral Pellaeon on Bastion, some ten years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn.

This young Venan male was the son of Baron Kindoro and his wife, Omnino, the Baroness of Vena. Sando attained the rank of Baron when his father died while on business, although his mohter served as Regent until he was old enough to take his father's palce. He agreed to accompany his mother to Coruscant during her negotiations to join the Old Republic, but his ship was lost in the Bright Jewel System near Ord Mantell. Omnino requested that Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi locate Sando after a rescue team failed to respond to hails. The two Jedi were able to locate the ship, but found the crew of both craft had been brutally killed by two escaped Mantellian savrips. Baron Sando was among the dead, his neck broken. The Jedi learned that the savrips had been captured and enslaved by Taxer Sundown, who had provided them to Baron Sando for breeding purposes. Baroness Omnino later revealed that the flesh of the savrips were considered a delicacy by her people, despite the fact that the savrips were intelligent. Sando had to destroy the female, and the male attacked the crews to avenge her death. Sando perished while fighting against the savrips. (LSOM, WOTC)

Sando Aqua Monster
This huge creature was native to the deep oceans of the planet Naboo. It was an aquatic mammal which essentially resembled a fish, although it was feline in stature and moved on its hind legs. It had a long tail, and its blocky head was dominated by a wide maw filled with serrated teeth. They ware indiscriminant feeders, and had no natural enemies in the seas of Naboo. The largest specimens have been measured at 160 meters in length, but this was an estimate based mainly on remains. It was believed that the males, which were generally larger than the females, could attain lengths of up to 200 meters. The actual lifecycle of the sando was a mystery, as they were dangerous, although reclusive, predators. To most natives of the planet Naboo, the sando aqua monster was more of a myth than an actual creature, mainly because they had never been observed in the wild and reports of their washed-up corpses were rare and incredible. There have been reports of sando aqua monsters breaching the surface of the water to attack their prey, and have been known feed on fambaas and falumpasets as well as aquatic prey. (E1N, IG1, GMR2, WSW)

The krayt dragon ingests stones of various sizes and materials for use in its gizzard to crush food for easy digestion. When the stones get too small, they were expelled. The resulting pearls have been smoothed and polished to a brilliant finish, and have various values depending on their color and size. (TME, TJP)

Sandpopper
This model of landspeeder was produced by the Caelli-Merced Syndicate on Socorro. It measured nine meters in length, and could transport a pilot and up to three passengers. The speeder was named for an unusual noise the repulsor engines make when they get sand stuck inside their housings. Caelli-Merced placed additional filters around the intakes to prevent the noise. (BSS)

Sandral
This was one of the most powerful families who lived on theplanet Dantooine, during the centuries leading up to the Great Sith War. The Sandral family was the bitter rival of the Matale family, and many of the long-standing disputes stemmed from land ownership.

To add insult to injury, Nurik discovered that his daughter, Rahasia, was in love with Shen Matale, and they had been secretly meeting together in spite of the family feud. Nurik had Shen taken captive, but the Jedi Knights intervened and freed Shen. Nurik was forced to admit the kidnapping, and he and Ahlan formed a tenuous truce after learning of their children's love for one another. (KOTOR)

Sandral, Rahasia
This young woman was the daughter of Nurik Sandral, and was living at the family estate on Dantooine during the era of the Great Sith War. Despite her father's wishes, Rahasia had fallen in love with Shen Matale, the son of Nurik's rival, Ahlan Matale. When Nurik discovered that they had been secretly meeting together, he had Shen taken captive. Shortly afterward, the Jedi Knights intervened and freed Shen, after Ahlan asked for help in freeing Shen. Nurik was forced to admit the kidnapping, and he and Ahlan formed a tenuous truce after learning of their children's love for one another. (KOTOR)

Sandskimmer, Falynn
This woman, a native of Tatooine, was one of the first members of Wraith Squadron. As a pilot from Tatooine, she was continually being compared to Luke Skywalker, a comparison she chafed at badly. She joined the Alliance in order to prove herself, but remained behind Luke's shadow. This led to what her commanding officers described as a "chronic insolence" and an inability to keep her mouth shut. Despite already being an ace pilot, she was constantly passed over for promotion and demoted after her outbursts, and came under the notice Wedge Antilles during the formation of the Wraiths. She made the cut, partly because of her ability to fly Y-Wings as well as X-Wings, but mostly because of her piloting skills. She was also the squadron's acquisitions agent. Falynn was killed in the battle that destroyed the Implacable over Ession. (WS)

Sandsnake
A reptile native to the deserts of Tatooine. (ISU)

Sandspeeder
This was the generic term used to describe an repulsor-equipped vehicle used on desert or otherwise arid worlds.

Sandtrap
This was the term used to describe any patch of sand, found on the planet Ryloth, which was less compact than the surrounding sand. Any being walking across a sandtrap found themselves falling deeper into the looser sand, a predicament that was only compounded by flailing and moving about. This additional movement caused the sand to settled around the being, trapping their bodies in the sand. Often, the settling sand created a pit that drew in more and more of the surrounding sand, completely burying the unfortunate individual. With patience, a trapped individual could be pulled from the sandtrap. (TS)

Sangtwo came into the possession of the silver protocol droid RT-56/X, which he discovered had a SureDeal-R bargaining and negotiating module in its brain. Together, they roamed the streets of Narg Starport, looking for unsuspecting off-worlders. When a suitable "victim" was found, RT-56/X would plead with them to remove it from its "cruel master's service" as a farm drudge. If the off-worlders were sympathetic, Sangtwo would bargain with them to sell the droid. Once the purchase was made, RT-56/X would wait until its new master entered a dense-populated area of the city, where it would disappear and return to Sangtwo's farm. (TA)

Sanhedrim
This was a warrior class of the Aing-Tii monks. They believed that the Kathol Rift was a holy site, and forbade any ships to travel through it. The word Sanhedrim translated into Basic as "pilgrim" or "monk". (KO, FJ2)

Sanhedrim

Sanhedrim Ship
This was term used to describe the typical Aing-Tii starship design. Referred to sometimes as pilgrimage vessels, the Sanhedrim ships were huge, cylindrical craft that were very organic in design. Like the Mon Calamari star cruisers, no two Sanhedrim ships were exactly alike. They were unlike anything seen or produced by the rest of the galaxy, with engines, thrusters, and weapons sprouting at weird angles and placements. The hulls of Sanhedrim ships were covered with millions of glyphs and sigils that mirror those found on the bony plates of the Aing-Tii themselves. The ships averaged about 300 meters in length, and required a crew of 150 to operate, along with sixty-six gunners who controlled the unusual Aing-Tii weaponry, including thirty energy web generators and six null-burst projectors. Sanhedrim ships were often well-shielded, and were believed to be equipped with hyperdrive systems. However, instead of a slip of pseudomotion before entering hyperspace, the Aing-Tii ships simply disappeared. The ships reappeared just as suddenly, as if they were created in their new location. Rather than direct fighting, the Aing-Tii often use these ships as battering rams, seriously disabling the slave ships they hunt. During the years that followed the Second Galactic Civil War, Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, spent time among the Aing-Tii, and learned that the Sanhedrim ships were at once part of the Force, yet not organic in the sense that they were sentient or alive. Instead, Sanhedrim ships were part of the Force in a way that most other starships were not, and could draw on the Force to leap through hyperspace. (KO, VOF, FJ2)

Sanibuff
This was a speciallized cleaning and polishing compound that was used to clean the deck plates of transport ships throughout the galaxy. Smugglers were one of the primary users of sanibuffing techniques, since it could be used to eliminate any trace of illegal substances from deckplates and other durable surfaces. (DN1)

Saniscrub
This anti-bacterial cleaning agent was developed during the New Republic. (DN1)

Sanisheet
This specially-formulated bed covering used anti-microbial fibers to avoid contamination, making it ideal for use in hotels and other public sleeping accommodations. (LF9)

Sanispray
This was a form of personal hygiene system that used a pressurized spray of chemical to cleanse a being's body of dit, grime, and oils. It was essentially a more powerful version of a sanisteam. (LF4)

Sanisteam
This was a mild chemical solution that was used to cleanse the skin of most humanoid races. Developed during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, sanisteam contained antibacterial agents as well as a soluble form of soap, and could also contain gentle emollients for keeping skin and scales moist. Sanisteam could be dispensed in small, sink-like devices for simple hand-washing, or in larger, stand-up showers. Over time, the shower-like system that sprayed sanisteam also became known as the sanisteam, and any form of cleansing shower became known as a sanisteam. (DN3, LF3, FJ1, FJ2)

Sanisteamer
This was the generic term used to describe any cleansing device that used sanisteam to clean the skin and bodies of many humanoid races, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Instead of the steady stream of water found in most restrooms and showers, a sanisteamer used specially-formulated steam to cleanse the body and eliminate unwanted bacteria.

Depending on where a sanisteamer was installed, the device could be as small as a sink or as large as a shower stall. (LF3)

Sanjin
This planet was located in the Core. It was on Sanjin that Ma'w'shiye deserted from the Alliance, leaving his teammates to be captured by Imperial forces. (SWJ7, OWS)

San-lampris
This parasitic creature was native to the oceans of the panet Naboo, which it attached itself to aquatic mammals such as the sando aqua monster. (WSW)

Sanl'jek
This creature, named for the zoologist who first encountered them, was native to the planet Dancreti. Their existence had puzzled scientists for years, for they seemed to have a communal society of nomadic gatherers which possessed social structure. The average sanl'jek was a small, thin-bodied, quadripedal mammal with a long, whiplike tail. The females of the species caried their young in birth pouches,and they carried their young for nearly a year before allowing them to roam on their own. One of the more unusual aspects of the sanl'jek society was that they can determine outsiders to their social structure by their heartbeats. This sensitivity to heartbeat had a strange outgrowth: a member of one group could be attacked in a remote location, and his comrades could detect the change in the heartbeat and come to their aid. This response was immediate, and the protective sanl'jeks attack with incredible aggression. Any such inter-group struggles were fought until one side or the other was destroyed or backs off from the battle. (COG)

Sanna
This Alliance agent was part of the team which was sent to the Ishanna System to counteract the inevitable Imperial subjugation. She was a confidante of Leda Kyss, and accompanied Kyss to the Combat Moon. It was here that Andos Delvaren had led Imperial forces, in an attempt to escalate a dispute between the Rabaanite and S'krrr races. A short, sturdy woman with curly hair, Sanna was accompanied to the Combat Moon by an unknown Alliance pilot (who looks a lot like Wedge Antilles). (SWJ9)

Sannah
This Melodie child trained as a Jedi on Yavin 4. She was discovered by Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila when they accompanied Lyric to Yavin 8. They brought her back to the Junior Jedi Academy with them, and persuaded Luke Skywalker to let her stay. Luke recognized the need to train the Melodies to fight back against the hostile predators of Yavin 8, and let Sannah stay. Unlike Lyric, who was nearly twenty and near her changing when she attended the Academy, Sannah was about eleven when she first attended. Sannah was still training at Yavin 4 when the Peace Brigade tried to capture the students at the praxeum and turn them over to the Yuuzhan Vong. She was caught in the crossfire and forced to hide with Valin Horn and Kam Solusar, while Anakin tried to rescue them. Sannah was turned over to Kam Solusar and his wife, Tionne, for safekeeping during the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, training aboard the Errant Venture until a more permanent base was established at the Maw Installation. Sannah was among the handful of Jedi Knights who ultimately survived the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. (LW, EVC, UF)

Sannen
This man served the Grand Army of the Republic as a General during the early stages of the Clone Wars. General Sannen and his troops were dispatched to Parein II 4, as part of the task force led by Jedi Colonel Tyneir Renz. Unfortunately, Sannen and Renz were unprepared for the appearance of General Grievous, who wiped out the Republic's forces. (OWS)

San-Ni Staff
This weapon resembled a normal staff, about half a meter in length, when carried in its inactive mode. When each end was twisted and pulled apart, the San-Ni staff split into three pieces. From the two ends, a stun prod springs outward. This motion pushed a pair of power couplings into the "center" of the staff, with crackling energy keeping them connected to the stun prods. The San-Ni staff could then be used to strike or stun an opponent into submission. (GMR10)

Sanohb'I
This was the Socorran name for the summer equinox experienced on the planet. It was an incredibly hot season, and influenced by the orbit of Neftali as well as Socorro's distance from the star Sokor. (BSS)

Sano-Mano
This was an annoying nickname used by Bog Divinian to refer to his associate, Sano Sauro, after Sauro was removed from political office and relegated to a position as headmaster of the Imperial Naval Academy. Divinian used the term as a way to make Sauro aware of that fact that he no longer had any power in the Empire, while Divinian himself had been named Imperial Governor of the Leemurtoo System. (LJ7)

San-pilot
This parasitic creature was native to the oceans of the panet Naboo, which it attached itself to aquatic mammals such as the sando aqua monster. Unlike the san-lampris, the san-pilot formed a symbiotic relationship with the sando. (WSW)

Sanpona, Chillo
This Rodian was one of the best pirates in Kran Granzor's crew, until it was discovered that he was taking a bigger cut than Granzor himself. Drek Drednar arranged for Sanpona to be marooned on a remote planetoid, then later recovered the Rodian when he deserted Granzor's crew. Sanpona pledged his loyalty to Drednar, and assisted in sabotaging the Sable II. It was believed that Sanpona himself killed Kran Granzor in the taking of the Sable II. (SWJ5)

Sanrafsix Corridor
This hyperspace travel route was located near the Sisar Run. (SWJ10)

Sanriv
A Rodian gemstone. (EGV)

Sansanna
A form of spice found on the planet Ventooine, sansanna was so rare that it had been priced out of existence in fourteen systems during the Galactic Civil War. The supplies of sansanna were controlled by the Satab during the early years of the New Order, which angered the populace of Ventooine because they saw none of the financial benefit from its sale. (MCA2, LTA5)

Sant, Cyl
This woman, a native of the planet New Bornalex, had a brief affair with a Theelin male during the early days of the New Order. The result of their tryst was a daughter, Rystall. Cyl tried hard to earn enough credits to support herself and her daughter, as the father fled New Bornalex and was never seen again. Cyl moved her small family to Coruscant during the height of the New Order, hoping to make enough credits to survive. When things didn't go exactly as she planned, Cyl was forced to give up Rystall in order to survive. She placed her infant daughter into a parked speeder, along with a note which begged the owners to love her daughter as much as she did. Cyl disappeared into the cityscape, and was not heard from again. (SWI67)

Sant, Nik
This man served the Alliance as a Lieutenant in the army, and was part of the strike team assembled by Han Solo to destroy the shield generator that was protecting the second Death Star, during the Battle of Endor. Lieutenant Sant managed to don the armor of an Imperial scout trooper, during the mission. (OWS)

Sant, Rystall
This humanoid female was one of Jabba the Hutt's favorite dancers, during the last years of the Galactic Civil War. Originally born on the planet New Bornalex, Rystall and her human mother, Cyl Sant, moved to Coruscant several years before the Clone Wars, in hopes of finding a better life. Unfortunately, Coruscant provided nothing better, and Rystall was abandoned by her mother, who hoped that she would be adopted by wealthier parents. Sadly, this was not to be, and Rystall was raised by Ortolan parents who were musicians. Rystall was easily distinguished by her flowing red hair and spotted skin. Her face had a unique structure in that it flowed from her nose and cheeks to her ears in a fan-like spread. Her feet were elephantine, being thick stumps with several thick nails. Although her mother was a human, Rystall never knew her father's origins. Note that the official Star Wars website indicates that Rystall's father was human while her mother was an alien. Living in the underworld of Coruscant, Rystall was eventually caught in the web of Black Sun after being approached by one of Xizor's vigos who offered her a deal: join him in one of his vacation houses, and he would provide a better life for her adopted family. Rystall agreed, hoping to provide more for her Ortolan family. However, the vigo locked her in a cell and forced her to dance for him, claiming that he would kill her family if she refused. The vigo captured her family and used them as slaves for over two years before the vigo hosted a sabacc tournament. Lando Calrissian took part in the games, and took a liking to Rystall. He eventually won the freedom of Rystall and her family, and they all fled Coruscant before the vigo could have them killed. Rystall and her family drifted to Tatooine, where her parents met an old friend, Max Rebo. The Ortolan band leader asked Rystall to join his band as a dancer, and she heartily agreed. After Jabba's death, Rystall was given the opportunity to join a band known as the Palpatones. In addition to incredible notoriety for her musical ability, her tenure with the Palpatones also brought her to Nar Shaddaa. There, she met Shug Ninx, and discovered that her father must have been among the last of the Theelin race. She left the Palpatones and set out to locate information on who her father was. (RJSE, CCG9, MTSE, SWDB, SWI67, VD3, OWS)

Santage, Keir

SanTech
This was one of the galaxy's largest biotechnology companies, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The company suffered when AruMed began luring its scientists and engineers away from the company with lucrative signing bonuses and impressive salaries, in an effort to bolster its own corporate image. (LF2)

Santhananan, Codeq
This being was a contact Dengar used many times. Based in Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine, Santhananan ran a private information service. Beings could send and receive messages through Santhananan, always with discretion and confidentiality.

He uses his relationship with the Lady Valles Santhe to obtain information vital to the Alliance, although Valles and Phillip were unaware of Kashan's activities. Much of his rebellious attitude came from the acquaintances he made while at school in the Core Worlds. (ML)

Santhe, Kerred
The founder of Santhe/Sienar Technologies, Kerred Santhe managed to purchase controlling interest in Sienar Technologies some 100 years before the Battle of Yavin. A native of the planet Lianna, he moved the corporation's headquarters to Lianna and renamed the company Santhe/Sienar Technologies. Kerred Santhe was alos credited with forming Santhe Security, as a way to protect the interests of his corporation. (ML, OWS)

Santhe, Miri
This young girl was Phillip Santhe's daugther, and Valles Santhe's granddaughter. (ML)

Santhe, Phillip
This short, corpulent man was Valles Santhe's only son. A talented engineer, Phillip had no aptitude for politics or diplomacy. A staunch supporter of the New Order, Phillip was the leader of the NOVA project. He couldn't wait for his mother to retire so he could take control of Santhe/Sienar Technologies, and didn't care if the corporation destroyed Lianna or her people. Phillip was the only surviving member of Valles Santhe's family; the other children were killed in anti-Imperial actions by the native Lianns. He was somewhat intimidated by the presence of Rodin Verpalion during the design and creation of the NOVA project. (ML)

Santhe, Valles
This regal woman was the granddaughter of Kerred Santhe, and controlled Santhe/Sienar Technologies during the New Order of Emperor Palpatine. She favored true independence for Lianna, but remained loyal to the Empire. She detested the presence of Rodin Verpalion, and was glad when the Imperial advisor decided not to live on Lianna. It was later discovered that she had knowingly sent out transport ships into pirate traps, allowing the pirates - who were actually Alliance starship crews - to obtain needed supplies. After the Emperor's death at Endor, she managed to gain a measure of that independence, but also claimed home rule for Lianna. Lady Santhe also maintained control of the Santhe/Sienar empire, and tried to reinforce her loyalty to the New Order by creating Sienar Army Systems to supply Imperial forces with TIE crawlers and other ground-assault vehicles. (ML, NEGC)

Santhe Blockade Runner
A patrol craft manufactured by Santhe/Sienar Technologies on Lianna. (ML)

Santhe Corporation
This was the overseeing holding company that controlled the various Santhe and Sienar corporations. The two primary subsidiaries of Santhe Corp were Santhe Security and Santhe/Sienar Technologies.

Originally founded on Lianna about 100 years before the Battle of Yavin, Santhe Security provided Kerred Santhe with a way to protect the interests of his corporation and its various subsidiaries. (SWJ9, UA, MBC, OWS)

Santhe/Sienar Technologies
This conglomerate was originally known as Sienar Technologies, until Kerred Santhe managed to purchase a majority control of Sienar. He forced the corporation to move its headquarters to Lianna, where it was responsible for the design of several civilian starship designs and components. It was also the parent company of Sienar Fleet Systems, Santhe Passenger and Freight, and Curich Engineering. Following the growth of the New Republic, Lady Valles Santhe decided that she would enter the military market, and began designing war machines under the monicker Sienar Army Systems. Their first designs were provided to the forces supporting the reborn Emperor Palpatine in the battle for Coruscant. Note that the Dark Empire Sourcebook says that Lady Santhe wanted to take control of the floundering Seinar Fleet Systems and remake it in her own image. The result was Santhe/Seinar Technologies, a company independent of Imperial control but willing, nonetheless, to deal almost exclusively with the Empire. Santhe/Sienar was one of the original voting sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. (DESB, EGV, CSA, ML)

Sanya
This young woman was one of the many Jedi students who were not chosen as a Padawan learner. She accepted her fate and became a member of the Agricultural Corps, and was assigned to assist the Ukian laborers who were growing burrmillet for shipment to the planets of the Galactic Republic. Although she was grateful when Tyzen Xebec and his clone troopers arrived on Ukio on a security inspection, Sanya was angry when Tyzen referred to her as a "washout", despite the fact that he himself was little more than an inexperienced Padawan. The two students were forced to operate on their own when the Separatists unleashed Project Instinction, and they were able to fight their way free of several battle droids and destroy one of the modules that was projecting the sonic disturbances that were affecting the planet's lifeforms as well as the clone troopers who were serving with them. Tyzen then asked Sanya to return to their unit and ensure that the sonic disturbances were not affecting other clone troopers, and she stole a STAP and set off to accomplish this. (CWOC2)

They were known as scavengers, and would readily attack any being who crossed their path. Tall and well-muscled, Sanyassans resembled walking skeletons, with lanky hair and greenish skin. Their history contained several eras of advanced thinking and technology, which were eventually wiped out by the current "might makes right" kleptocracy. The Sanyassan preferred to prey upon the Ewoks of the Forest Moon of Endor, hoping to eventually exterminated the small bipeds. A subspecies of Sanyassan, known as the Marauders, evolved on the Forest Moon of Endor after their ship crash-landed there. (SWI66, UANT)

Sapella
This planet, located in the Kathol Outback, was one of the most isolated worlds of Kathol Sector. It was located between Timbra Ott and Binaros, but was not as profitable a run as going to Jangelle and the Kathol Republic. The planet had entered an ice age during the last millennium of the Old Republic, and much of the planet was covered by the advancing polar ices caps. A band of temperate lowlands straddled the equator, and this fertile land was settled by a group of colonists. The colonists there grew fruits and grains for trade with Timbra Ott, and created a tasty wine from their grapes. This trade allowed the colonists to maintain a mutual defense pact with Timbra Ott, although the Sapellan navy was quite small and outdated. (KO)

Saper, Hallis
This woman was a sludgenews reporter from the planet Bonadan before she joined the New Republic as a documentarian. She had developed a way to interview her subjects without interfering with their actions, but implemented it in a strange way. She found that children disliked being recorded by beings with cameras and other equipment, but that they actually enjoyed the presence of a droid who served as the interviewer's assistant, but which could also record them. She thought that the best of both worlds would be to have a specially-made protocol droid head created, complete with recording instruments, which she could wear on her shoulder. The droid head, which she nicknamed Whitecap for its coloration, had specialized components that allowed it to follow her eye movements and record what she was looking at. However, the combination - which made Hallis resemble a two-headed lady - tended to cause more disruption than reduce apprehension. When she accepted the role of documenting the negotiations with the Adumari, she brought Whitecap along with her. Wedge Antilles, who served as the chief diplomat, Wes Janson, Tycho Celchu, and Hobbie Klivian all wondered at the effectiveness of Whitecap. They each had a part in developing a system which fit within an ornate hair clip to replace Whitecap's protocol droid head, allowing Hallis to record everything without the intrusive stares aimed at the "two-headed lady." During the negotiations with the Adumari, Hallis managed to record a secret conversation between Tomer Darpen and the perator of Cartann, Pekaelic ke Teldan, in which Darpen accused Wedge of being a rogue and acting on his own behalf instead of that of the New Republic. This evidence exposed Darpen's own treacherous plans to bring the planet Adumar into the Republic. She managed to get copies of this recording into the hands of the New Republic Intelligence agency, which arrested Darpen and allowed Wedge to complete the negotiations. After the Adumari agreed to join the Republic, Hallis returned to her regular duties. She later accepted a position within the New Republic Intelligence agency, and spent the early part of her career investigating the Yuuzhan Vong. (SOA, BP)

Sapha
This red-furred Ryn was part of the group, led by Melisma and Gaph, who was on Gyndine searching for Droma. Sapha was separated from her sister Melisma when the Yuuzahn Vong attacked Gyndine before the refugees could be evacuated.

When the priest Moorsh arrived on the ship, he summoned the Sapha and the other Ryn to have them tell his fortune. (JE)

Sapir

Sapphire was going to join the Imperial Academy when an explosion in a fighter bay killed her parents. The cause of the explosion was discovered to be the carelessness of Lieutenant Tizzin, the new officer at the base, but his family ties kept him in command. Sapphire's parents were blamed for the explosion, and she had hated the Empire ever since. She vowed to hunt down Tizzin and exact revenge on him. She joined the Alliance short after the deaths of her parents, and ran several smuggling runs with Kevas Startron. When she completed a major run for him, but kept her role in the job a secret, he bequeathed her his starship, the New Cov Quasar. She later renamed the ship to be the Sapphire's Gem. (CRO)

Sapphire Fogblaster
This was a potent version of the standard Fogblaster mixed drink. The Sapphire Fogblaster was usually made in a blender, rather than being mixed in a shaker. The drink was served in a wide, chilled glass with a tall stem. When properly mixed, the Sapphire Fogblaster had a dark color, and bubbled and gave off a blue vapor that hinted at its true flavor. Many beings who had never tried the drink often wretched upon the first swallow. It was believed that mixing water into a Sapphire Fogblaster to cut its alcohol would only result in the entire drink exploding in one's face. (LF9)

When translated into Basic, this Mando'a word meant "flower" or "bloom." (OWS)

Sarafur
This desert world was the third planet in orbit around the star known as Kuna's Tail, and was often referred to as Kuna's Tail III. At one point in its distant history, Sarafur rotated about its axis like most other planets, and supported an idigenous form of sentient life. Over the millennia, however, it stopped rotating, and the ancient race soon died out. Sarafur remained tidelocked from that point forward, and much of it's landscape was either scoured by heat or frozen. Among the ruins found along the terminator line, lawless communities arose, founded by prospectors, treasure hunters, and fugitives. Many of the planet's inhabitants told stories of the artifact known as the Tessent being hidden somewhere on Sarafur, either in the tomb of an ancient alien king or in the horde of a long-lost crimelord. (GMR9)

Sarahwiee
This Mid RIm world was located in the Bseto System, but was unknown to the Old Republic. It was discovered shortly after the birth of the Empire, and Palpatine kept its location a secret in order to create a research base there. Following the Battle of Endor, some of the remaining fleet captains continued to make stops there, and the facility continued to run. However, after the Battle of Bilbringi, the supply runs were contracted out. On one of these runs, Luke Skywalker and a group of Alliance agents infiltrated the base and liberated some of the scientists. Sarahwiee was a frigid, rocky world which as a day of 28 standard hours and a year of 398 local days. (SWJ6)

Sarain, Ji-Ad
This Jedi Knight was dispatched to the Cularin System to infiltrate the slaving organization of Riboga the Hutt, some twenty-four years before the onset of the Clone Wars. The Jedi Council on Coruscant sent Sarain alone, as much to maintain his cover as to give Master Lanius Qel-Bertuk a chance to settle into his new role as the leader of the Almas Academy. Posing as a mercenary, Sarain managed to infiltrate Riboga's operations, but was caught when he tried to call the Almas Academy for reinforcements during an attempt to escape with the slaves.

The Rodian slaver Gomalo had Sarain frozen in carbonite as part of a test for transporting slaves. Although the attempt was successful, Gomalo had no plans to wait around for the Jedi to answer Sarain's call for help. He and his slavers fled into space, but were apprehended by the Jedi fleet. Gomalo's ship was badly damaged, but still made it into hyperspace. Sarain was never found, and his frozen body was believed to have been lost in the fighting.

Unknown to the Jedi, Sarain's body has been dumped in a nebula not far from Cularin. The location of this nebula was a secret known to Gomalo, who had stored the coordinates in a bas-relief sculpture that was confiscated when he was arrested and sent to prison. The sculpture was sold at auction, and passed from owner to owner until it was acquired by Nog and Cham Teleus. The Tynnan couple agreed to show it at an art show commemmorating the 125th anniversary of the Cularin Compact, where it was soon stolen by Gomalo.

The Rodian might have recovered Sarain's body, if his plans hadn't been discovered by Ezra Du'Re and a group of freelance agents. These agents managed to surprise Gomalo, recovering Sarain's frozen form and capturing the Rodian. The carbonite block was taken to Almas, where Sarain was thawed out and returned to the Jedi. (JST1)

Sarapas, Kenko
This was the name of a noted Thisspian individual. (UANT)

Sarapin
This planet was known as the homeworld of the vaapad. A volcanic world, Sarapin was considered inhospitable to most forms of life. The Old Republic tapped into the fathomless energy of the lava hidden beneath the planet's surface by erecting collection facilities that bored into the volcanic rock to draw heat and other forms of energy. Although the Energy Collection Repository was protected by an dense energy grid, it was overrun shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Imperial forces managed to take control of the planet, using its natural resources to produce raw metallic ores and nearly limitless power. (FC, NEGC, GBC)

Saras
This was one of the many hives that made up the Colony. Like all other hives within the Colony, the members of the Saras hive referred to themselves, as well as the entire nest, as Saras, and acted upon the Will of the Saras hive. The Saras established their nest on the moon Ruu, but were later relocated to Woteba after thye Qoribu crisis was resolved. Despite being part of the Colony, the Saras nest was notable for its artistic skill, as evidenced by the hive's ability to create wonderful artwork from spinglass and other materials. (DN1, DN2)

Sarb, Corf
This Enu gangster ran a number of gambling halls and a smuggling operation on his homeworld of Deylerax. He was a former Imperial employee who embezzled funds from the Empire to start his own operation, and was known to be willing to kill anyone to protect his business. (WBC)

Sarban, Oxil
This man was living in Narmle, on the moon Rori, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Sarban was sympathetic to the Alliance during this time. (SWG2P)

Sarc, Korta
This Shistavanen Wolfman was the Alpha Premier of the Uvena System during the early years of the New Order, until he was found murdered at the Jenet embassy on Uvena III. (AIR)

Sarconian Green Flea
This was a species of tiny insect that had little intelligence of any kind. (DMSH, DSTR)

Sarcophagus
Saccoria's single moon, Sarcophagus was a source of pride among the native Sacorrians. The natives of Sacorria buried all their dead on the moon, in order to help preserve the natural beauty of their world. This also allowed them to look up into the night sky and think of the billions of bodies buried there. Many superstitions arose around the moon, most of them associating the full moon with a period of an increased number of deaths. Also, it was illegal to focus a telescope on the moon, out of reverence for the dead and tradition. (AC, CCW)

Sardis
This Imperial warship was stationed near the Obsidian research platform as protection. However, the Alliance's assault on the station was too powerful for the Sardis to repel, and the Imperial facility was destroyed. The Sardis was also destroyed in the battle. (XWA)

Sardoran
This was the name of a planet. (AIR)

Sardoth
This male Iktotchi owned and operated the Daystar Casino, on the planet of Ahakista, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. His operations were condoned by the Empire, although the growing rebellion that occurred on Ahakista during the months following the Battle of Yavin gave him reason to be concerned. The Empire had been allowed the Empire to construct a massive facility, known as Pyramid One, in the capital city, and Sardoth feared that civil unrest would lead to his execution. He had already seen the Imperial presence cut into the Daystar's profits, and the rebellion only scared off more customers.

Unknown to many beings was the fact that Sardoth was also secretly working for the crimelord Raze. In this capacity, Sardoth allowed Wyl Tarson and Laynara to stay at the Daystar Casino, as part of Raze's secret plans for Tarson's fate. Sardoth was surprised to find Darca Nyl traveling with Tarson, and took the man aside to show him the collection of lightsabers he had accumulated over the years. Sardoth, who was unaware of Nyl's true identity, believed that Nyl was a Jedi.

As per Raze's orders, Sardoth arranged for Tarson and his team to meet with Rasha Dex, who was part of the Imperial contingent on Ahakista, although she was also secretly working for Raze. They also met with Dunlan and his rebels, and it was then that Sardoth revealed their mission. They had been chosen to help the rebels destroy the Pyramid One facility and The Hub, and although Sardoth was only helping to restore the credits that would flow through his casino, he agreed to lead the assault team through the tunnels beneath the building.

When Darca Nyl left the group to find another way into The Hub, Sardoth followed him. In the darkness, Sardoth revealed that he had shown Nyl the lightsaber collection because Sardoth himself had once been a Jedi Knight. He then explained that he recognized Nyl's lightsaber as that of his former master, Lycan. Believing that Nyl had killed his master, Sardoth attacked him. Their lightsaber battle was evenly matched, but neither was prepared for the appearance of Darth Vader.

Sardoth saw the confrontation as a chance to finally become a Sith Lord, but Vader wanted no part of him, claiming that he would have already been chosen if he had been worthy enough. With one swift stroke of his lightsaber, Vader ended Sardoth's life. (SWRAG)

Sareet System
This planetary system was the home of the Sareeta race of humanoids. (SWJ8)

Sareeta
This race of humanoids was native to the Sareet System. They have mottled pink skin and large, lidless eyes. (SWJ8)

Sareeta, Sassan
This Sareeta was one of the many mercenaries which were hired by Executive Results. Sassan was well-known for his escape from an Imperial blockade along the Harrin Trade Corridor. He was ambushed by a TIE Fighter picket line in the Lazerian System, and jury-rigged his ship's shields to force all power to the forward shields. The ship, known as Moondrake, plowed into the picket line, punching through several TIE Fighters in order to flee the blockade. After being hired by Executive Results, Sassan became the coordinator of the transport of weapons from Syndicate One's operations on Valgauth. He was also responsible for calculating hyperspace routes for its transport ships. Note that the Ultimate Alien Anthology indicates that Sassan Sareeta was a Sullustan. (SWJ8, UANT)

Sarella
This Drall female served as the Duchess of her family during the height of the New Order. A heavyset individual with graying fur and intricate earrings, Sarella was known for her ties to both the government and the corporations of the planet Drall. Much of this information came from her close relative, Drusa. (CCW)

Saren, Rianna
This Twi'lek female was one of the earliest members of the fledgling Alliance to Restore the Republic. She was one of several agents who were tasked with discovering information about the first Death Star, when it became apparent that the Empire was building the massive station to destroy the Alliance. (SWI90)

Saresh, Guun Han
This ancient Jedi Knight was dispatched to Korriban, with Duron Qel-Droma and Shaela Nuur, during the period of history known as the Great Hunt. Guun Han was a green-skinned Twi'lek male, and he had formed a bond with Duron and Shaela during the time they spent hunting down the terentateks that had escaped during the Great Sith War. Their mission to Korriban was supposed to have been their final mission, as the Jedi Council believed that the only survivors were hiding in the Sith fortress on the planet. However, during the trip to Korriban, he discovered Shaela and Duron were falling in love with each other. Guun Han was both jealous and angry, and made no effort to hide his feelings. Rather than accepting their feelings, Guun Han railed at them, claiming that their relationship was leading them all down a path to the Dark Side of the Force. He left their group in anger, refusing to work with them. He took a ship and traveled to Kashyyyk, confident that he could destroy the terentatek that was terrorizing the planet all by himself. His skills, however, proved inadequate to the task, and he was killed and eaten by the terentatek after his great sword was broken off at the hilt when he made his initial attack. The only record of his demise was found in the remains of the terentatek that had eaten him, after it was finally killed by another team of Jedi Knights who were searching for information on the Star Forge. (KOTOR, T23)

Sareth, Owen
This Alliance agent was responsible for recruiting Devon Fuller. (GG9)

Sarge
This clone commando, officially designated RC-1013, was one of several heroes of the Old Republic's early victories during the Clone Wars. Sarge was later a member of the Aiwha Squad during the Outer Rim Sieges, and was assigned to Jedi Master Traavis on Garqi when the command to execute Order 66 was issued. Sarge and his men concentrated their fire on Master Traavis before the Jedi could defend himself. (CWA3, OWS, SWI87)

Sargheet
This hardy grain was grown on the planet Dagro. For many years, it was a staple in the diets of many worlds in the vicinity of Dagro, but the market suddenly dropped during the height of the Clone Wars. Many of the farmers on Dagro found themselves with acres and acres of a crop that couldn't quite keep up with the cost to grow it, and turned many of them against the Old Republic. The most usable part of the sargheet plant was the upper stalk, but the lower part - known as crop stubble - could be stripped of its blue bristles and used as feed for livestock. The bristles, which were easy to remove but impossible to digest, had to be removed because they built up in the digestive tract and caused blockages that could lead to death. However, when simmered in water, the bristles released flavors that created a tasty soup stock. (SWI76)

Sargonian Behemoth Tick
This immense, blood-sucking insect was known for its tenacious hold on its host. (LTA2)

Sarguillo
This Force-sensitive Zabrak male was living the Village of Aurilia, on Dathomir, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Sarguillo served as a Commander in the Aurilia Security Force, and did everything in his power to defend his village. (SWGAL, SWG2P)

Sarhl, Fenris
This Imperial Major was known for his skills and success in quelling rebellious activity. He was placed in command of the Demnadi Relief Operation, and was the sole member of the team dispatched to the planet. This was because Governor Cathers only requested help with a single riot, not a planet covered with rebellion. (HR)

Sari Street
This thoroughfare was located in the lower sections of Imperial City, on the planet Coruscant, during the early years of the New Order. It was located near Caspak Boulevard. (CN2)

Saricia
This Devaronian was Lai Nootka's gunner aboard the Star's Delight, during the Galactic Civil War. (TFE, SWJ7, WOTC)

Sarin Sector
This area of the galaxy was located in the Outer Rim Territories, adjacent to Parmel Sector. This area of the galaxy was once known simply as Sector 242. (GG9, SWJ15)

Sariss
One of the Dark Jedi working with Jerec, Sariss was physically and mentally stronger than her companions. She was of near-human stock, and was known to be quiet and reserved. Note that the Wizards of the Coast website indicates that Sariss was human. Sariss was raised by the Prophets of the Dark Side, and might have been sired by one of their members. Regardless of her lineage, Sariss grew up in a world that was consumed by the Dark Side of the Force, and was tortured and raped by the Prophets for many years until she was sent of missions for the Church of the Dark Side. She was known by the codename Prophetess, and worked for Tour Aryon on Tatooine before being taken in by the Dark Jedi Jerec and trained as one of Emperor Palpatine's Dark Jedi. Under the tutelage of Jerec, Sariss became skilled and dangerous with a lightsaber, and eventually earned enough of his trust to become his second-in-command. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Sariss abandoned her connections to the Empire and joined Jerec in his quest to reform the Dark Side Elite. It was during this time that she discovered the abilities of the Epicanthrix youth Yun, and insinuated herself into his father's life. Sariss led Yun to believe that she loved him, twisting him to the Dark Side until he killed his father out of love for her. Sariss then seized his father's assets and took them to Jerec, along with Yun. Sariss then committed herself to assisting Jerec in reaching the Valley of the Jedi. After locating the Valley on Ruusan, she was defeated by Kyle Katarn while protecting Jerec. During the fight, she was prevented from killing Katarn outright when Yun blocked her killing blow. Reflexively, Sariss struck out at the lightsaber, killing Yun instantly. This brief moment allowed Katarn to take up Yun's lightsaber and stab her through the heart. Investigation into the actions of Jerec and his band of Dark Jedi later revealed that Sariss had been the daughter of the Dark Lord Cronal, who served Emperor Palpatine as the agent known as Blackhole. (DF2, RAG, WOTC)

Sark, Dagnian
This Imperial Security Bureau agent was dispatched to Sirpar, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, to serach out any potential Alliance sympathizers. While loyal to the Emperor, Sark hoped to gainpower and prestige by locating rebels and bringing them to justice. (SWJ2)

Sark, Eddriss
This being was the chief of the Alliance's Intelligence organization, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. (SWSB)

Sark, Robbyn
This Roshan served as the leader of a trade delegation that was sent to the neighboring world of Samaria, about a year after the end of the Clone Wars. The delegation traveled to Samaria in hopes of signing an agreement that would open trade between the two worlds, allowing each planet to take advantage of the other's technology. Sark was dismayed when he was accused of sabotaging the Platform-7 computer by Bog Divinian, who was acting as the Imperial advisor on Samaria. Sark calmly explained that the Roshans had nothing to do with the supercomputer's problems, and asked to know why the people of Sath were being led to believe that the Roshans were not to be trusted. When Divinian refused to answer, Sark then asked why he was opposing the trade agreement. Divinian again refused to give a straight answer, instead suggesting a trip through the city of Sath, which would give them a chance to speak in private. The trip was little more than a way for Divinian to carry out his plans to fully discredit the Roshans, as he "survived" an attempt on his life from a pair of Roshan droids. When orders were given to arrest the Roshan delegation, Ferus Olin and the Samarian resistance worked to ensure that Sark and his companions escaped from Samaria safely. Unfortunately, shortly after their escape, the Roshans were attacked by Samarian warships, which had been launched on a mission to invade Rosha. Their ship was shot down just before landing, and Sark and all aboard were killed when the vessel smashed to the ground. (LJ6)

Sarka
This Mid Rim planet was home to a New Republic supply center that attacked by Grand Admiral Thrawn, some five years after the Battle of Endor. It was the homeworld of the Sarkan race, and was known for its abundance of nova rubies and other gemstones. (DFR, CCG9, AE, NEGA)

Sarkan
This race of humanoid lizards was native to the planet Sarka. They had short, pointed snouts and large eyes, and were often brightly colored. They walked upright, and used their thick tails to balance themselves. Many xenobiologists believed that the Sarkans shared a common ancestry with the Barabels. Their clothing was often adorned with gemstones, and they prefered to travel in groups of three. They had their own version of protocols, and anyone who didn't adhere to them was considered a barbarian. Their standard greeting had its own protocol, and had to include the life history of each individual, the number of battles each had won, the number and value of all gemstones each had mined, and the various mates each had acquired over time. Obviously, these greetings often lasted for hours, and any greeting of less than an hour greatly diminished the giver's worth. Many fine arts experts considered Sarkan ballet to be among the most beautiful in the galaxy. (CCG9, TTSB, AE, SWJ15, GMR7)

Sarkanian Jelly
A fruit spread created on the planet Sarka. (GOF4)

Sarken
This name, which meant "smiling", was common among Gungan males. (GCG)

Sarkese
This was the spoken language of the Sarkan race. It consisted of a complex collection of words and subtle body gestures. For written and other communications, most Sarkans use Basic. (UANT)

Sark-I
An Imperial shuttle which was commandeered by an assassin droid and purposely crashed into the Imperiak palace on Weerden. The droid performed this action in order to kill the Grand Inquisitor, Lord Torbin. (SWSB)

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

Sarkin, Doran
This young boy was the sone of Kell and Tyria Sarkin, and was gifted with his mother's connection to the Force. He traveled with his mother during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the gaalxy, as she searched for her own true calling. Doran and his family were among the handful of Jedi Knights and their supporters who ultimately survived the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. (UF)

Sarkkin
This Wookiee and his Chiss partner, Panha, were working on the outer edges of the galaxy as explorers, some twenty-five years after the Battle of Yavin. While in deep space aboard their shatrship, the Pythea, Sarkkin captured a transmission that was quite strange. The transmission came from the sole survivor of a society of warriors who were wiped out by an advance group of alien invaders known as the Yuuzhan Vong. While Sarkkin had no idea who or what the Yuuzhan Vong were, Panha recalled Chiss records of earlier encounters with the aliens, and realized that this was the beginning of an full-scale invasion. She had Sarkkin plot the course of a Yuuzhan Vong fleet, and they realized that they needed to warn the inhabitants of the planet Artorias of the fleet's arrival. In order to get a transmission off to Artorias, they would need to move into a position that would place them in fleet's path. Complicating matters was the fact that their ship lacked enough power to send a good signal to Artorias, so Sarkkin and Panha had to reroute all power to the communications system, knowing that they might not make it back home. Panha managed to get off a warning message to Artorias just as the Yuuzhan boarded the ship, and Sarkkin vowed not to be taken alive. With Panha's agreement, he rammed the Pythea into the Yuuzhan Vong flaship, sacrificing their lives in the hope that they could slow down the alien invaders. (INVW)

Sarkli
This Imperial officer was known as a fearless spy who would work through virtually any assignment. A nehpew of Admiral Piett, Sarkli was once granted a personal audience with Emperor Palpatine, and was on the fast track to promotion. Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, he set out to join the Alliance, and eventually earned a place as a pilot on the newly-commisioned Rogue Squadron, serving under Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles. Despite having a large role in saving the group that rescued General Jan Dodonna from Yavin 4, Sarkli received very little in the way of recognition or trust. In an effort to establish himself, he set up an ambush that took the lives of several Rogue Squadron pilot, but returned to the Alliance with the claim that he was the sole survivor. His "heroism" went unrewarded, however, and he decided to "defect" to the Empire, a series of actions that allowed him to return to his true maters. The information he brought back to the Empire was well-received, and it was believed that he was given command of an Escort Carrier for his actions. He was later assigned to the team protecting the shield generator on the Forest Moon of Yavin, in order to ensure that the construction of the second Death Star went as planned. However, Han Solo and his strike team managed to infiltrate the bunker and place a series of explosives. Sarkli apprehended the rebel band as they exited the bunker, but Solo managed to shoot him in the chest. The armor he was wearing buckled under the assault, and he was killed when a bolt pierced the armor and his heart. (CCG11, RSG3)

Sarko
This man was the leader of the bounty hunters who tried to capture Quinlan Vos on Ord Mantell, some years after the Battle of Naboo. (ROP)

Sarko VI
This planet was believed to have been the site of an Alliance cell, during the years leading up to the Battle of Hoth. Imperial forces under the command of Captain Korvellen attacked the supposed cell's location, destroying buildings and communities in an effort to eliminate the rebels. Unfortunately for the natives of Sarko VI, there was never an Alliance presence on the planet. Korvellen later justified the slaughter of innocent beings by claiming that the natives were "...poor and without hope, potential rebel scum waiting to turn against the Empire." (RESB)

Sarlaac's Peak
This rocky outcropping was located in the Carbon Score Wastes, on the planet Socorro. (SWLG)

Sarlacc
The Sarlacc was a plant-like arthropod that survived by burying itself in the ground and waiting for food to wander nearby. Only the Sarlacc's mouth remained visible, appearing to be a pit with inward-curving teeth covering its entire surface. A number of long, prehensile tongue-tentacles were connected to the inner mouth, and were used to grab its food and pull it into the lower sections of its body.

The Sarlacc's body was believed to be divided into two distinct sections. The first was a large chamber where the prey was initially deposited. Branching off from this chamber were many smaller digestive chambers. Once prey had been dragged into the main chamber, the Sarlacc's internal musculature - which was connected to thousands of whip-like tentacles - moved prey along the sticky inner walls to a holding place. There, the prey was stuck to the inner walls with various tendrils, while the Sarlacc's internal fluids begin to flow around the prey. The allowed the Sarlacc, which had no natural digestive system, to physically assimilate its prey.

Many xenobiologists believed that the Sarlacc could latch onto its prey, then begin pumping its own caustic blood into the prey's system. The blood then broke down the prey's flesh slowly, picking up nutrients before passing back into the Sarlacc. The Sarlacc's blood also provided a minimal sustenance for its prey, keeping it alive inside the beast for a long time. Thus absorbed, the Sarlacc's prey eventually became part of a huge network of consciousnesses created from all of the creature's prior victims. Because of this extended period of digestion, it was believed that many of the Sarlacc's sentient victims went mad before they died.

Many theories existed on the reproduction of the Sarlacc, since the creature was always seen alone, but it was known that they Sarlacc could regenerate lost flesh, especially the long tongue-tentacles. One reproductive theory held that, under the proper conditions, a full-grown Sarlacc could eject spores - known as sarlacci - that were capable of surviving the hard vacuum of space. Those spores that survived long enough to reach solid ground then attempted to bury themselves, where they began capturing prey and growing into adults. Another theory held that there were two distinct sexes, with the female being the larger of the two. The male Sarlacc was actually a parasite, which would grow over time to devour its mate. When an offspring was produced, this theory claimed that a male and female would merge into a single, nomadic entity.

Most Sarlacc prefer dirt and damp earth in which to make their homes. The female spore that landed on Tatooine was one of the few that managed to survive in the desert. Note that Wedge's Gamble indicates that Sarlaccs like the sand. The Tusken Raiders who lived on Tatooine had a legend that claimed the Sarlacc gave birth to itself in the core of the planet, in the days before the twin suns had split apart from a single star. The Sarlacc, according to the legend, would continue to eat everything until it was forced to consume itself, thereby perpetuating a cycle of death and rebirth.

The bounty hunter Dengar once told a drinking buddy that, after he pulled Boba Fett from the Sarlacc on Tatooine, he found that Fett's DNA had been mingled with that of a number of smugglers and lowlifes who had disappeared while in Jabba's service. It was surmised that they had been fed to the Sarlacc as punishment, and that through the pseudo-digestive process, the Sarlacc's blood had carried them into Fett's body.

It was believed that the lifespan of a Sarlacc can measure 20,000 years or more, although no being had ever successfully determined the actual age of a specimen. Estimates of the age of a Sarlacc were made from the histories of the worlds on which Sarlaccs existed, many of which indicated that individual Sarlaccs had been present since the formation of the Old Republic.

The original homeworld of the Sarlacc was unknown, but many xenobiologists believed that Tatooine might have been its place of origin. (E6, DESB, MTS, TJP, WG, MA, WSW, NEGA)

Sarlacc Battalion A
This division of the Grand Army of the Republic was part of the 41st Elite Corps, during the height of the Clone Wars. Like its comrades in the Sarlacc Battalion B, this unit was commanded by Jedi Master Vaas gas and led by Commander Gree. Both Sarlacc Battalions saw action on Dinlo, and were nearly abandoned there by their commanders, before Jedi Knight Etain Tur-Mukan refused to leave without them. Improcco Company volunteered to accompany General Tur-Mukan to the surface of Dinlo, where they rescued the Sarlacc units before the Republic bombarded the planet from orbit. (SWI84, RCTZ)

Sarlacc Battalion B

Sarlacc Gardens
This was one of many deep-desert locations found on the planet Tatooine. It was located near Monk's Well. (TG)

Sarlacc Project
This Imperial operation was discovered by Senator Bail Organa, during the early years of the New Order, when it was revealed by former Imperial Admiral Gilder Varth. A group of freelance agents was hired by Senator Organa to investigate the project, and several connections were made with Darga the Hutt and his Nazren slaves before the agents located the Sarlacc Project's engineering headquarters on Coruscant. There, it was learned that the Sarlacc Project centered on the construction of a massive, twelve-kilometer-long starship that would become the predecessor of the Super-class Star Destroyer.

The Sarlacc Project was overseen by members of the Inquisitorius, but was eventually exposed by Senator Organa's agents. They learned that the prototype vessel was being constructed near the planet Byss, in the Deep Core, and set out to investigate. Although the prototype was eventually destroyed, its engineers were able to rework their designs for the development of the Super-class vessels. (DOFD)

Sarlacc S1
This was an entry-level starship weapons capacitor system, produced by Novaldex during the early years of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Sarm
This planet was located in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy, within the bubble formed by the Utegetu Nebula. At some point in Sarm's ancient history, a race of sentient beings inhabited its surface. Hwoever, all life on the planet was wiped out when the supernova that created the Utegetu Nebula. All that remained as evidence of the existing of the sentients was their planet-spanning network of irrigation channels, which were visible from space. During the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Lomi Plo and the Dark Nest of the Colony established a base of operations in orbit around Sarm, after the Killiks were forced to relocate to the Utegetu Nebula during the early stages of the Swarm War. Although the Gorog nest ship was destroyed at Sarm, Lomi Plo managed to escape and rejoin the Colony's forces at Tenupe. (DN3)

Sarma
This hulking, battle-scarred Dubravan was a bounty hunter during the Galactic Civil War. He controlled many of the locals in his home village by extorting money from them. Nevana tried to get Sarma to wipe clean her father's debt by leading him to Luke Skywalker. Unfortunately, she was mistaken in believing that Jal Te Gniev knew Luke's whereabouts. Sarma contacted the local Imperial garrison and arranged to capture Jal, but scared Nevana into running. The Imperial troops followed her, and shot her in the back. (VQ)

Sarn
This Imperial Admiral was in command of the Super-class Star Destroyer Terror, as part of Darth Vader's V38 development plan following the Battle of Yavin. Sarn spearheaded several weapons-research efforts, in hopes of winning the Emperor's favor. When Sarn's crews failed to apprehend Rookie One and Ru Murleen, Vader used the Force to crush Sarn's windpipe before leaving the Terror. (RA2)

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

Sarna
This woman was the Queen of the planet Drogheda, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Queen Sarna did everything she could to thwart her sister, Princess Danu, and her efforts to free the people. Sarna was one of Lando Calrissian's lady-friends, and invited him to Drogheda shortly after the Battle of Endor. She hoped that Lando could help her defeat the rebels who were trying to overthrow her, outwardly fearing that the rebels were being backed by the Empire. In reality, Sarna and Danu were using Calrissian as a way to rid themselves of the insurgents, thereby ensuring their continued rule of Drogheda. However, Danu was actually a rebel at heart, and exiled Sarna to any planet that Calrissian cared to drop her on. Lando, however, struck up a business relationship with Sarna. (LTA6, MC83)

Sarna
This woman was a member of the Sith warriors who subjugated the planet Taris, during the height of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)

Sarne, Kentor
This Imperial Moff was in command of Kathol Sector during the height of Emperor Palpatine's New Order. He had been a young Navy officer when Emperor Palpatine took control of the galaxy, and became a loyal Imperial officer and a member of the Imperial Survey Corps. During the advent of the New Order, he claimed to have been the sole survivor of a navigational mishap in Kathol Sector. The accident took the life of the entire crew, and only Sarne survived. It was during this time that Sarne discovered the existence of DarkStryder, and made a deal with the creature to provide it with hyperdrive technology in exchange for its own technology. Upon returning to Coruscant, Sarne was reassigned to a posting as the Captain of the Renegade as part of the 15th Deep Core Reserve Fleet, but eventually made his way back to Kathol Sector with a fleet of ships, including the Renegade. He established a base of power on Kal'Shebbol, and continued to exploit DarkStryder's technology while keeping the bio-engineered creature stranded on Kathol. Sarne most wanted to re-establish the launch gates of the ancient Kathol, which he planned to use in conquering the galaxy. After the Battle of Endor, Sarne was flushed from Kal'Shebbol by New Republic strike teams, and he fled the sector capital and hid in the Marcol Void. He took with him as much firepower as possible, including a sizable portion of his fleet, and hoped to refit the warships before the Republic could get much of a hold on the sector. He began negotiations with the Qektoth Confederation, trading several starships and their crews for certain biochemical weapons technology. After the crew of the FarStar began tracking him down, Sarne maneuvered them into position to be the bait in an elaborate trap to capture the New Republic and further utilize the DarkStryder technology. Unfortunately for Sarne, he underestimated the desires of the native races of Kathol to free the Precursors from the Lifewell and defeat DarkStryder. He tried to protect himself by hiding in DarkStryder's fortress, but was unable to defeat the crew of the FarStar and their companions. He tried to flee Kathol and reach the Bastion, but the Republic forces were tipped off to Sarne's escape and managed to shoot down the shuttle. Sarne was killed in the explosion. (DARK, KO, KR, E)

Sarne-One
This was DarkStryder's designation for Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne. (E)

Sarnikken Asteroid Belt
This dangerous belt of planetoids was located in Fakir Sector. Its asteroids contained a wealth of heavy metals, and mining operations struggled for control of them. The Empire tried to take control of the Belt for its own use, but the resident miners proved to be quite tenacious in their holdings. Imperial officers and bureaucrats had the tendency to disappear during trips to the Sarnikken Belt. The attempts by the Empire to take over the Belt only served to push the miners toward an agreement with the Alliance, and the Alliance received a wealth of raw materials from the Belt for the construction of its starships and weapons. The Alliance was often provided the assistance of Reekeene's Roughnecks to protect transports into and out of the Belt. (SWCP)

Sarnizak
This was the name of a noted member of the ZeHethbra race. (UANT)

Sarno, Liviani
This female Euceron was in charge of the Galactic Games committee, formed on the planet Euceron to oversee the Games which were held there six years after the Battle of Naboo. Unlike most Eucerons, Liviani Sarno dressed in splendidly embroidered robes and a brightly-jeweled crown. As the Games wore on, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Siri Tachi, and their team of Jedi Knights discovered that Sarno was behind the plots to discredit several Old Republic Senators by linking them to gambling at the Games. Sarno herself was a supporter of the Commerce Guild, and was working to have Maxo Vista appointed a member of its board. In the meantime, she hatched her plan to destroy the careers of those Senators who were voting against a proposal that would give the Guild control of much of the banking in the Core Worlds. Liviani Sarno was caught by Obi-Wan at the finish line of the podraces which were taking place in the Great Dordon Caves, after she tried to complete the work Maxo Vista had started by sending false information to the racers. Unfortunately for the Jedi, Liviani Sarno was allowed to go free when Big Divinian refused to testify against her. (JQ3)

Sarreti, Ephin
This young man served as the Imperial Moff of the planet Bastion, shortly after Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace accord with the New Republic. Unlike his older counterparts, Saretti had never been in the presence of Emperor Palpatine, and held no ties to the old Empire. Saretti grew up on Coruscant during the Galactic Civil War, and his family fled to Bastion when Coruscant fell during the early years of the New Republic. He was, nevertheless, much wiser than the older Moffs, and advocated the support of the New Republic during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Saretti was also one of Admiral Pellaeon's strongest supporters, and offered to accompany Pellaeon during his discussion with Leia Organa Solo in regards to joining the fight against the Yuuzhan Vong. Pellaeon, however, requested that Saretti remain on Bastion to help the other Moffs understand the situation.

Later, after the Imperial Remnant joined the New Republic in combatting the Yuuzhan Vong, Saretti opened up the Imperial archives to the Astrographic Survey Institute, in an effort to provide them data on the Outbound Flight Project. The hope was that the data would provide information on the origins of the Yuuzhan Vong. While this took some time, Saretti continued to support Pellaeon's efforts. After the fall of Bastion and the successful defense of Borosk, it was Saretti who spoke loudest to the Moff Council, demanding that they band together and join the Galactic Alliance, lest the individual Moffs retreat into their own systems and become easy targets for the Yuuzhan Vong.

In the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, Moff Saretti remained loyal to Supreme Commander Pellaeon, and served as his eyes and ears on the activities of the Moff Council. (DTR, HT, FH1, LF8)

Sartar
This Imperial Moff was placed in charge of the development of Fire-Rain 3. He secretly commandeered space at supply depot I-389 on Tatooine, and planned to test the efficacy of Fire-Rain 3 on the populations of Anchorhead and Mos Eisley. Unfortunately, Sartar's lab was discovered by the Bothan SpyNet, which relayed evidence of its existence to the Alliance. A strike team eliminated Sartar and his labs, saving the population of the two settlements. (RESB)

Sartinaynian
This planet was founded by a group of human colonists during the golden age of the Old Republic. The colonists fled the Republic for the Outer Rim, believing that the Core Worlds had been degraded by "hateful alien influences." Much of the funding secured by the colonists came from what was then a little-known world called Muunilinst. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, they destroyed much of Sartinaynian's surface before devastating Muunilinst. (GORW)

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

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

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

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

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

Sarvool, Eldewn
This boy and his twin sister, Elsae, grew in the wealthy sector of the planet Romin, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The children showed a strong connection to each other, which many adults attributed to the fact that they were twins. However, Jedi Knight Ofar Tan-Doov discovered that they had a strong connection to the Force, and obtained permission from their parents to take them to Coruscant for training. However, Tan-Doov's ship had been booby-trapped, and a thermal detonator exploded on the bridge as soon as the ship prepared to launch into hyperspace. Tan-Doov was killed, and the twins were forced to abandon the ship in escape pods. Upon returning to Romin, they found that their parents' home had been burned to the ground, and their parents had been murdered, presumably by the crimelord who had been Tan-Doov's original target. Assuming that they had nowhere else to go, Eldewn and Elsae hid in the slums of Romin, where they grew up with feelings of anger and hatred for the crimelord who killed their parents, and for the Jedi Order that started the whole thing. At the tender age of nine, the children found that they could get handouts and other necessities by lying and stealing, and never stayed in one area for very long in order to avoid being noticed. Their connection to the Force also helped them coerce other beings when necessary. The crimelord continued to search for them, hoping to use them to extort money from other wealthy families on Romin. The Jedi also launched their own search for the twins, pursuing Tan-Doov's earlier report and hoping to bring them to Coruscant for training. Eldewn and Elsae remained hidden for many years, despite several bounties that were offered for their safe capture. (WOTC)

At the tender age of nine, the twins found that they could get handouts and other necessities by lying and stealing, and never stayed in one area for very long in order to avoid being noticed. Their innate ability to use the Force also helped whenever they needed to coerce another being. The crimelord continued to search for them, hoping to use them to extort money from other wealthy families on Romin. The Jedi also launched their own search for the twins, pursuing Tan-Doov's earlier report and hoping to bring them to Coruscant for training. Elsae and Eldewn remained hidden for many years, despite several bounties that were offered for their safe capture. (WOTC)

During the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Sasso and his Ryn partner, Ferfer, assisted Team Meloque in destroying the yammosk which had been installed on Caluula. During the mission, the team felt that it was being led into a trap, but their fears weren't borne out until they reached the location where the yammosk was kept. After Ferfer was killed by a hidden group of Yuuzhan Vong Slayers, Sasso was stabbed in the back by a warrior's coufee and died shortly afterward. (UF)

This was the title used by the tyrant who controlled the planet Ventooine, during the early years of the New Order. The Satab maintained his position through the use of the Shadeshine stone, and when a Satab was eventually driven mad by the device, he was placed in suspended animation until a cure for the stone's powers could be discovered. The Satab also controlled all the sansanna that was collected on the planet, earning the hatred of the natives of the planet. When Han Solo arrived on Ventooine to obtain some sansanna spice, the Satab tabbed Solo to become the next ruler of the planet. (LTA5, MCA2)

Sath
This was a species of creature known for its hit-and-run tactics when harassing much larger prey. (ISB)

Sath
This was the capital city of the planet Samaria. The city itself was located on the shores of an artificial bay that had been created to hold the meager water supply found in the area. The white sands that formed the shore were supported by pilings, formed the shoreline. The buildings of the city were erected along the canals that spread from inland the shore, providing wondrous views to the businessbeings who lived and worked there. The streets of the city were laid out in a neat grid, and the spacelanes gave the city three distinct levels. Pedestrian traffic moved at ground level and on walkways between buildings, while vehicle traffic moved between them. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Sath experienced a city-wide shutdown of all power grids, resulting in chaos and confusion. Emperor Palpatine personally dispatched a captive Ferus Olin to deal with the situation. Ferus discovered that the sabotage had been performed by Astri Oddo, in an effort to escape once and for all from her former husband, Bog Divinian. Ferus was able to get the Platform-7 supercomputer back up and running, but he also erased any information on Astri and the resistance. Note that Last of the Jedi: A Tangled Web also seems to indicate that Sath was a planet. (LJ5, LJ6)

Sato, Del
A native of the planet Corellia, this middle-aged man was an employee of the Core Courier Service. He served as Taryn Clancy's co-pilot aboard the Messenger during the early years of the New Republic. He had been a pilot and courier with CCS for more than thirty years, and had planned to retire after they completed one last delivery to Coruscant, just after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. The delivery was all but completed when an Imperial fleet appeared in the space above Coruscant, with the intention of retaking the planet. Taryn was forced to ground the Messenger, and when she demanded to know why they were not allowed to leave, she was introduced to Garm Bel Iblis and Jak Bremen.

The two Republic officers invoked the government's right to take command of civilian vessels in times of war, hoping to use couriers like the Messenger to deliver fleet rendezvous information to the scattered ships of the New Republic Navy. Taryn was forced to agree to their terms, and although she demanded to remain pilot of the courier vessel, she was clearly not in command. Del resented the situation, both because of his impending retirement and because of the military's demands on them. He was especially inconvenienced by Bremen's presence aboard the ship, as Bremen's military ego rubbed him the wrong way.

After escaping from Coruscant, they set out to find the cruiser Hope, but were intercepted by the Imperial cruiser Requital. Taryn demanded to do the talking to the Imperials, but it was Del's quick thinking that helped ensure that an scan of their cargo would prove to be fully legitimate. This allowed them to avoid being detained, giving them the opportunity to deliver the rendezvous information to the New Republic crew aboard the Hope. Although they were unaware that Commander Voldt had placed a homing beacon in their hold during the Imperial inspection, they were able to reach the New Republic fleet near Corialis and deliver their message. After surviving the run to Coriallis, Bremen offered them a chance to join the Republic, but they declined. Del decided to spend his time watching Serra Hailey holovids, instead of risking his life for others. (TFE, SWJ7, OWS)

Satomi
This Alliance YT-1300 freighter was operative during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

This was the Tarasin word used to describe the quills which lined the back of the Tarasin forearm. The word sa'tosin was unheard of until just after the Battle of Naboo, when the recorded memoirs of Dariana were discovered. (LFCW)

Satrank
This Godling worked for Trisstan the Godking during the era of the New Order. He pretended to be attempting to overthrow Trisstan when the crew of the Long Shot arrived on Masterhome, in an attempt to see what the Alliance agents wanted. (SWCP)

Sat'Skar
This planet, the second in the Coyn System, was the sister-world to Coyn itself. Sat'Skar's atmosphere was very dense, and had set up a greenhouse effect across the face of the planet. Thus, the only life there was microbes and primitive bacteria. The planet was named for the ritual sword used in Coynite combat. (PG3, OE)

Sat'skar
This was the name of the traditional Coynite sword. (OE)

Satunda
This was the third day of the Tapani local calendar's week. (PGT)

Saturation Bombing
This technique of orbital or aerial attack uses a dense carpet of bombs to cover a large area with destructive force. Several runs by the attacking ships continue to pelt the target with bombs, effectively saturating the target with explosions. This technique was often used when a target was believed to be hiding underground, as the successive bombing runs often set up seismic distrubances and reduce the geological structure of the surrounding land. (MA)

Satyn
A stylish fabric used in men's clothing. (LCM)

Sau, Nardo
This xenoarchaeologist was one of the new breed which sprang up during the early years of the New Order. Unlike historians such as his chief rival, Angrail Ryhl, Sau was in the business to sell his discoveries to the highest bidder. Sau developed ties to several major corporations, and obtained a great deal of corporate sponsorship, something he used to get past the Imperial bureaucracy to obtain licenses before Ryhl could. Most of Sau's largest customers were on the planet Coruscant, and were private citizens or corporations with Imperial ties. (HR)

Saujutta-Ok-Topii
This female Pan-preneur was Director of Marketing for Trigdale Metallurgy until the corporation downsized following the Battle of Endor. She had been one of the few aliens to have established business relationships with the Empire, and was allowed to mingle within Imperial society. However, this did not save the division from being cut off by Trigdale. She took control of the defunct division and used her own money to build it back up in her own image. Moving the division's headquarters to Valgauth, she established Syndicate One as a weapons manufacturing facility. She used many of the business relationships she had developed over the years to gain suppliers and outlets, and formed Executive Results as a front for the weapons the Syndicate produced. (SWJ8)

Saurian
This beast, of which there were several species, was native to the planet Eiattu. Many species were hunted for sport, while others have been domesticated. (XWWP)

Saurian Hornet
This was a species of extremely quick-tempered insect. (SE)

Saurin
A race of reptilian humanoids from the planet Durkteel, characterized by their long, tooth-filled snouts and their large, sunken eyes. Many xenobiologists believed that the Saurin race was a subspecies of the Trandoshan race, differentiated by their human-like hands. (CCG2, IWST)

Sauro, Sano
A native of the planet Telos, Sano Sauro was a friend of the Chun family. He was distinguished by his black eyes and stern gaze, and represented the Chuns as a legal counsel and prosecutor during the inquest into the events surrounding the death of Bruck Chun in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. He was ruthless in his questioning of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Bant, and twisted their words to meet his needs. However, in the end, Obi-Wan was aquitted of any wrongdoing in Bruck's death.

Sauro later moved his residence to the refueling world of Eeropha, where he swiftly gained enough power to be voted the planet's Senator to the Old Republic. He discovered the brilliant mind of Granta Omega, and sponsored his education at the All Sciences Research Academy on Yerphonia. As the Old Republic began to crumble from within, Senator Sauro began to gather more and more power to himself. When Granta Omega was implicated in several attempts to kill Jedi Knights - most notably, Obi-Wan Kenobi - Senator Sauro openly refused to cooperate with the investigation, despite his ties to Omega.

Later, after Bog Divinian was elected Senator from Nuralee, they began stirring up anti-Jedi sentiments in the Senate, as part of a larger plan devised by Granta Omega to discredit the Jedi and cut off their Senate support. He invoked several subcommitte bylaws - some of which he had amended himself - to convene a panel of Senators with little or no love of the Jedi, much to the chagrin of Bail Organa and Mace Windu. Obi-Wan later discovered the scope of the plans being hatched by Granta Omega, when he set out to stop the theft of vertex crystals from the All Planet Relief Fund dedication. After capturing Valadon and Roper Slam, Obi-Wan realized that much of the activity the Jedi had uncovered was a ruse, meant to throw them off the true path. In reality, the group was planning to assassinate Chancellor Palpatine, then discredit the Jedi Order for failing to protect his life. Then, with the Senate was chaos, Bog Divinian would step forward and nominate Sano Sauro to succeed Palpatine, thereby allowing Granta Omega to secretly assume control of the galaxy.

The plan was ultimately foiled, when Granta and Jenna Zan Arbor were forced to flee Coruscant under the pursuit of the Jedi. When Bog Divinian's proposal to eliminate Senate funding for the Jedi Order came to a vote shortly afterward, Senator Sauro was among the majority of Senators who voted against it. It was later learned that Senator Sauro had been offered the position of Deputy Chancellor by Palpatine himself, an appointment he obtained after blaming the assassination attempt on Palpatine's life on Granta Omega. Palpatine explained to Anakin Skywalker that, by luring Sauro with power, Palaptine had made an ally out of an enemy. Because of this, Palpatine was able to monitor Sauro's every move.

When Palpatine named himself Emperor, he discovered that Sauro had started to consolidate a base of power by handpicking his own Imperial Advisors. Sauro believed that he was acting without the Emperor's knowledge, but his every move was being closely monitored. Sauro's hubris was exemplified by his acquisition of a lightsaber that he claimed had been owned by Jedi Master Mace Windu, although he possessed no evidence to prove this. He also claimed that he was the only being in the galaxy who could identify Force-sensitive children, and he created a plan in which he would round up such children and use them to train pilots at the Imperial Academies. Palpatine learned of the plan and Sauro's own confidence, and dispatched Darth Vader to rein him in.

Sauro was removed from political power and relegated to headmaster of the Imperial Naval Academy. However, he maintained many of his connections, specifically Bog Divinian, who had been named the Imperial Governor in control of the Leemurtoo System. Despite his demotion, Sauro never gave up on the idea of having Force-sensitive individuals teach Imperial pilots new ways to fly their fighters, and cultivated a relationship with Inquisitor Hydra to keep this plan alive. (JAD, JQ4, JQ5, JQ9, LJ5, LJ7)

Sauropoda
This was a species of huge, lumbering reptile that moved about on four legs, seemingly oblivious to the fact that they were crushing everything in their paths. (MBS)

Sauropteroid
see Swimming People of Dellalt. (HSL)

Saurton
An alien race native to the planet Essowyn, the Saurton were thin-bodied, bipedal reptiles with golden scales and long snouts filled with sharp teeth. They were warm-blooded creatures whose advanced immune systems helped them avoid a wide range of diseases and infections. They had evolved enough to realize that their planet was continually bombarded with asteroids, and built their cities underground to protect them from impacts. As a society, they were perfectionists, with no tolerance for failure. Workers who failed to do their jobs were beaten or executed by their co-workers and managers. (PG1)

Saurton
This yellow star was the primary body in the Saurton System. (PG1)

Sauvax
This was a race of stout, crab-like beings which was native to the planet Leritor. The average Sauvax was amphibious, and moved about on six spindly legs. The arms of a Sauvax ended in heavy claws, and their entire body was covered with chitinous armor. This natural armor was flexible enough to allow a wide range of movement for the Sauvax's limbs and neck. Each hand-claw ended in five fingers: two large pincers and three opposable digits for finer manipulation. Despite their fearsome appearance, the average Sauvax was not warlike in nature, preferring to resolve disputes through discussion and negotiation. According to Star Wars: Tag and Bink II, Sauvax meat was considered a delicacy by many races, giving the impression that Sauvax were unitelligent creatures. (GMR10, UANT, TB2)

Sauvax
This was the native language of the Sauvax people, made up from a simple set of vocalizations. (GMR10, UANT)

SAV
The short name for a surface assault vehicle. Juggernauts, mobile command bases, and compact assault vehicles (CAVs) were all forms of SAVs. SAVs, in turn, were categorizes as ground assault vehicles (GAVs). (SWJ9)

Savage Pleasure
Mael Sidras was assassinated by Imperial forces while vacationing aboard this luxury liner. The action also killed scores of other passengers, including all but two members of the Khzrry familyof Xi'Dec. (CRO)

Savage Squadron
This was one of the two fighter squadrons created from pilots who were on Dubrillion when the planet was attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong. It was made up of Ugly-style starships piloted by non-military personnel, but they impressed Rogue Squadron with their tenacious will to survive. The Rogue Squadron pilots had referred to them as Salvage Squadron, but quickly dropped that moniker when the pilots proved their skills. They supported the Republic's defense of Dantooine from Yuuzhan Vong invasion, but took heavy losses in the fighting. (DTO, NJOSB)

Savan
This Falleen female was Xizor's niece, who survived the devastation on her homeworld and rose to power shortly after Xizor's death. Savan hoped to re-establish the glory of Black Sun, in the wake of Xizor's death. She used prosthetics to outwit her foes, making herself into the antiques dealer Azool as well as one of the remaining vigos of Black Sun. She instigated a civil war among the rest of Xizor's lieutenants shortly after his death, hoping to eliminate them without much effort. She used a meeting with Han Solo and Princess Leia Organa as bait, and staged an attack that she blamed on Vekker, Sprax, and Clezo. She tracked Guri to Hurd's Moon, hoping to obtain the services of the human replica droid for herself. Once she amde contact with Guri, Savan used a hidden code phrase to activate specialized programming Xizor had installed in Guri's brain. The droid, however, had been reprogrammed by Doctor Thrumble, and pretended to accede to Savan's command. Instead, Guri whirled and kocked Savan unconscious with a single punch. Savan was imprisoned and eventually brought to trial. (SEE)

Savant Missile
Developed by MerrSonn, the savant missile was known as a "surprise attack" weapon. They appear to be dumb bombs to their targets, used only to establish line-of-sight and not dangerous. When a pilot moves to avoid the seemingly dumb bomb, the savant's internal computer system kicks in after a short delay. The computer then re-establishes its target lock and slams into the target from behind, well before the pilot can react to the new threat. (TTSB)

Savar
This man, distinguished by his square jaw and his deep voice, served as a Captain in the Galactic Alliance Security force, during the years following the Second Galactic Civil War. Captain Savar and his force were ordered to arrest Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker, on orders from Chief of State Natasi Daala. While he received no direct resistance from Skywalker, Leia Organa Solo openly questioned the scope of the warrant for his arrest, and forced Captain Savar to allow her to take possession of Skywalker's lightsaber. As he placed stun cuffs on Skywalker's wrists, Savar allowed his emotions to surface, and Luke felt that Savar genuinely regretted carrying out his orders, especially when he was forced to bring along a group of bounty hunters as a support team. His regret turned to embarrassment when one of the bounty hunters, a Quarren named Dhidal Nyz, actually tried to bring his weapon to bear on Skywalker, setting of a brief scuffle in which trooper Bessen accidentally fired his weapon. When the emotions settled down, Savar took Luke into custody, and allowed Han Solo - as a non-Jedi - to accompany Luke to his arraignment. Savar later met up with Luke again, when the Jedi apprehended Valin Horn after the young Jedi tried to disrupt the opening session of the Unification Summit. He agreed to allow the Jedi to take Horn to the Mon Mothma Memorial Medical Center for testing. (FJ1)

Savareen Brandy
This brandy was quite expensive, although most brandy connisseurs claimed that it was well worth the time and expense. They also claimed that Savareen Brandy was rivaled only by Cassandran Brandy in flavor and smoothness. Both forms of brandy were usually consumed according to a set of arcane rules and procedures, which gave the drinkers an air of snobbishness and superiority that put off most casual drinkers. (GG9, OWS)

Savareen Brandy Stinger
An alcoholic drink favored by Tribune Challer, Ysanne Isard's agent put a lethal dose of poison in one for him. Challer was killed almost instantly by the poison. (XWMR)

Savareen Dancer
This moderately-priced cruiser liner took passengers on tours of the Outer Rim Territories, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GG9, OWS)

Savaros, Bey
A farmer by trade, this man was Kajin Savaros' father. Bey and his wife knew that Kaj was probably sensitive to the Force, and they suspicions were confirmed when Imperial forces raided their home village of Imrai, on the planet M'haeli, shortly after the end of the Clone Wars. Bey was a village elder, and his farm was razed by the Imperials to set an example that forced the rest of the village to accede to Imperial control. Bey and his wife then spirited Kajin to the nearest spaceport and booked him passage to the planet Coruscant, hoping that they would help him avoid being captured by the Imperials. They also hoped that some survivor from the Jedi Order might find Kaj and train him to use the Force in such a way that he was able to control its powers. As he put his son on the transport vessel, Bey vowed to one day make the trip to Coruscant and be reunited with his son. (CN3)

Savaros, Kajin
Although not native to the planet Coruscant, this young man was living in the underworld of Galactic City, during the era of the Clone Wars. A native of the village of Imrai, on the planet M'haeli, Kaj spent much of early life trying to understand the strange powers he had, which were similar to those of the Jedi Knights. When the Galactic Empire was formed, Kajin's father and mother were driven off their farm by Imperial troops. The farm was destroyed as an example of what would happen to anyone who opposed Imperial law. Knowing that Kajin's powers would be noticed by the Empire, his parents put him on a transport bound for Coruscant, hoping that some surviving element of the Jedi Order would be able to help him. They explained that they would rendezvous with him on Coruscant as soon as their could. Thus, just prior to his fifteenth birthday, Kajin found himself on the immense city-world, where he became the target of several Imperial Inquisitors, who knew that Kajin's powers stemmed from a strong connection to the Force. Kajin managed to stay one step ahead of the Inquisitors, until he was observed killing one of them by wrapping him in Force energy and simply eliminating him from the universe. He fled into the Ploughtekal Market, where he was discovered by Jax Pavan. After escaping from more Inquisitors, including Probus Tesla, Kaj explained to Jax that the Force seemed to burn through him like a wildfire, and it often felt like he was feverish whenever he touched it. Because of this, and because Kaj was unable to control when the Force surged through him, he grew to hate the galaxy and the Force itself, until Jax took him in and began to teach him about the ways of the Jedi Knights. Jax initially planned to share Kaj's training with Laranth Tarak, so that Kaj could learn about different philosophies on the Force.

The incidents with the Inquisitors drew the attention of the local police force, and Pol Haus confronted Jax with the idea that a rogue Force user was on the loose. Jax kept Kaj hidden, but Kaj sensed Haus' concern that the "assassin" who killed the Iinquisitor was still on the loose. Jax covered up as best he could, but explained that the group might have to leave Coruscant in order to avoid the notice of Darth Vader. Kaj refused to leave Coruscant, believing that his parents would eventually try to find him. It was during this discussion that Jax saw Kaj move near a light sculpture and disappear from the Force. Dejah Duare also noticed that Kaj seemed to disappear telepathically when he was near the device, prompting Jax to believe that they could keep Kaj hidden if they surrounded the boy wit light sculptures. Dejah balked at the idea of using Ves Volette's artworks as components, but realized that it was the only way to keep Kaj safe. The moved Kaj to Volette's old studio, and his training continued in the relative safety of the gathered light sculptures. The studio became both a sanctuary and a curse, leading Dejah Duare to take Kaj out on a walk one afternoon, to let the boy get some open air and sunlight. However, Kaj sensed the presence of an Inquisitor nearby, and they were forced to run for their lives in an attempt to reach the studio before they were discovered. Kaj split off from Dejah and Haninum Tyk Rhinann, hoping that their pursuers would thrown off as two groups moved among the crowded streets. During their escape, Kaj saw Laranth Tarak fall under an Inquisitor's attack. Acting on instinct, Kaj drew upon the Force and destroyed the Inquisitor, rendering his body nothing more than dead ash. This allowed Kaj, Laranth, and the others to escape. Kaj later explained that the technique he used to kill the Inquisitor was analogous to something he had done on his family's farm. Instead of catching swamp rats in sacks and dragging them away from the farm, Kaj imagined the Inquisitor being caught in a very small sack, and then discarding the sack from his mind.

While Kaj was recovering, Laranth paid a group of waifs to locate the taozin necklace that one of the Inquisitors was wearing during the struggle. The necklace, which belonged to Probus Tesla, was recovered shortly afterward. Kaj could then wear the necklace when walking in public, with the hope that the necklace would block his presence in the Force. The incident with the Inquisitors also forced Jax and Laranth to abandon the studio and move Kaj to a more secure location. The Whiplash organization offered up a safehouse, and Laranth agreed to accompany Kaj to this new location. However, Imperial Inquisitors managed to intercept them, using spice gas to drug them into submission. Before he passed out, Kaj threw his taozin necklace behind him, hoping that it would leave a trace in the Force that Jax would be able to follow. When he awoke, however, Kaj found himself confronted with a man who claimed to be his teacher. The man was Probus Tesla, and he kept Kaj in a drugged state that allowed Tesla to subtly twist Kaj's mind into believing that the Jedi were the enemy. In his mind, Kaj came to believe that he as a Sith, which gave Tesla more opportunities to corrupt his mind. Tesla went so far as to plant the idea that Kaj had been rescued from the Jedi by Darth Vader, so that the boy would not be frightened of the Dark Lord's appearance.

With Kaj fully under his control, Vader agreed to meet with Jax Pavan to discuss the boy's release, as well as that of Laranth Tarak. Jax had promised himself, as well as the bota sample that had been charged to I-5YQ, in exchange for their freedom. Kaj was brought to the meeting by Probus Tesla, who kept the boy at a safe distance. When Vader obtained the bota and injected it, he turned into a living weapon of uncontrolled Force energy. Vader sent blasts of energy in every direction, killing Dejah Duare and Probus Tesla before turning on Jax and Kaj. Vader ensnared them both with ribbons of energy, and began to draw them together in a deadly embrace. Hanimum Tyk Rhinann chose this moment to burst from his hidind place and attack Vader, railing against the Dark Lord for stealing the bota and denying him a chance to connect with the Force. Vader's concentration was broken, freeing both Kaj and Jax before Vader and Rhinann tumbled out a window and smashed to the pavement below.

Suddenly bereft of his apparent savior, Kaj flew into a rage, but was quickly consoled by Jax and Laranth Tarak. They left the meeting place and returned to a Whiplash safehouse, where Jax and Laranth spent several weeks undoing the brainwashing that Vader and Tesla had performed. However, they soon learned that Vader had not only brainwashed Kaj, but stripped out all other memories from his mind, including the ability to connect to the Force. With the help of Thi Xon Yimmon, Jax arranged for Kaj to spend time among the healers and members of The Silent on the planet Shili, hoping that the boy would one day recover his former self without the threat of Imperial agents bearing down on him. (CN3)

Savas, Jornel
This man worked for the Corellian Security Force, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Savas was part of the team, led by Lieutenant Varias, that investigated the sudden reactivation of a battle droid factory near Nashal. (SWGAL)

Savax
This male Ubese was the leader and war-master of the Vorsazg clan, and ruled the Southern Wastes of Uba IV during the early years of the New Order. Disgusted with the yrak pootzck Ubese who fled to Ubertica, Savax gathered up a huge force and set out to destroy Ubertica. Savax's forces nearly succeeded in wiping out the Ubese population on Ubertica, but their bombardment was halted by the appearance of an Imperial fleet. The fleet destroyed Savax and his fleet in short order, but not before much of Ubertica was destroyed. (SESB)

Save, Whimper
This dark-haired woman was a frequent patron of the Outlander Club, during the time of the Battle of Geonosis. She stood out somewhat from other patrons in that she wore a hood, covering up most of her upper body. She was sometimes seen in the company of Dannl Faytonni. (OWS, SWI75, DAG)

Save the Stohl
This public relations campaign was started after Shantee Ree's attack stohl bit an overzealous admirer during an autograph session. The fan grabbed her arm, and the stohl - Needla - responded as she was trained. The media immediately portrayed the attack stohls as vicious, and hunters began killing them for no reason. Shantee responded quickly, first explaining Needla's reaction, then launching the "Save the Stohl" campaign to halt the slaughter of the creatures. (COG)

Saveen, Jog
This woman was a Jedi Knight who succumbed to the Dark Side of the Force when she began using the Force for evil deeds. (DSSB)

Savich, Moranda
Before this woman worked as a courier for Talon Karrde, she was a freelance pick-pocket and information broker. She became wrapped up in the Alliance when she lifted the plans to the first Death Star from the courier who was in the Continuum Void tapcafe waiting for Garm Bel Iblis. Once she figured out that the datacards were Imperial property, she tried to get rid of them. Later, she and Bel Iblis were able to recover the plans, with the help of Hal Horn. Horn had been chasing Moranda to arrest her, but ended up helping them all escape the presence of Ysanne Isard, who had come to recover the plans. Following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, she was protected on her runs by the Noghri Plakhmirakh. They met Luke Skywalker on Cejansij, when he helped break up an attack directed at them. She later re-appeared on Bothawui, when Wedge Antilles and Corran Horn were trying to see if anyone was going to attack the Drev'starn shield generator. She managed to re-steal their wallets, after a pair of Bothans lifted them. They worked together to narrow down the list of possible suspects until Wedge and Corran were recalled to Rogue Squadron, to accompany Garm Bel Iblis on the raid on Yaga Minor. Working alone from that point, Moranda proved to be quite a thorn in the sides of Klif and Drend Navett, nearly stopping them from successfully taking out the generator with her subtle yet terrorist-like attacks. Once she finally discovered their identities, she broke into the Exoticalia Pet Emporium and ransacked the shop. Moranda then called the Bothan police force to investigate. She followed this up by starting a small fire in the shop, which essentially broke their cover. They were forced to kill the Bothans, but still managed to take out Drev'starn's shields. (SOP, VOF, TFNR)

Saviin
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word represented the color violet. (OWS)

Savill, Vaskel
This rougishly handsome young man was a high-ranking lord within House Melantha at the height of the New Order. He was generally considered the mastermind behind House Melantha's plan to destroy the Imperial torpedo sphere which was stationed near Tallaan shortly before the Battle of Endor. He proposed that plan to Annora Calandra and House Melantha during a Vor-cal hunt, using the event as a cover for their meetings. Vaskel's cocky, self-assured confidence helped push the idea through to its implementation. Shortly after the Vor-cal held on Vilhon, Savill hired Lord Sef Falken to assassinate Calandra, and then hired Lord Barleos to execute High Lord Bal Jaset on Procopia. Both attempts were thwarted by a team of Alliance agents hired by House Cadriaan to discover Savill's plans, and Savill's political career was ruined. Ultimately, the torpedo sphere was destroyed, but it resulted in the almost complete subjugation of Tapani Sector by the Empire. (LOE)

Saving the Universe (again)
This song, written and played by the band Deeply Religious, first appeared on the compilation Deeply Religious. It was banned by the Imperial Board of Culture. (GG9)

Savorium
This herb was discovered by Klorr Vilia about ten years before the Battle of Yavin. Vilia was looking to create an herb that would appeal to a wide variety of species and pallettes. What he created was a large, tree-like plant with leaves which, when consumed, produce the illusion of rapture. Vilia became the first victim of the plant's effects when he used it to prove to Zorneth that he had created the wide-appeal herb he had set out to create. Vilia was suddenly locked in a blissful state, and Zorneth was struck with the realization that savorium, in the wrong hands, could be used as a devastating weapon. The users of the drug, known as Smilers, were locked in a perpetual state of bliss, and often require protection. Zorneth created the Caretaker virus to covertly use droids to protect them. (DRO)

Savrant
This gas giant was the fifth and outermost planet in the Bacrana System, and was orbited by six moons. (FBS)

Savrip
This was the name given to the guttural language of the Savrip species. (ANT)

Savrip
This was the first Imperial Vindicator-class Heavy Cruiser, assigned to patrol the Mid Rim during the height of the New Order. The Savrip was also one of the first Vindicator-class ships that was not later converted to an Immobilizer 418 Interdictor-class cruiser. The Savrip was later captured by the Alliance and renamed the Molator. (SOG)

Savrip
This hulking race of humanoids, native to Ord Mantell, was strongly muscled and massively built. To much of the galaxy, savrips were simply predatory creatures. A savrip was often portrayed as one of the creatures in a dejarik game, further adding to the public opinion of them as unitelligent brutes. However, savrips were fully sentient, but technologically primitive. They were forced into the wilderness when the Old Republic first colonized Ord Mantell, and they chose to maintain a low profile in order to retain their civilization. However, their combative nature and unusual language led to a deeper sense of the savrips' unintelligence, and many were hunted or exported. Thus, very few savrips remained on Ord Mantell by the time of the New Order. The average savrip individual could live to be over 500 years in age, provided that it survived that long. As a species, the Mantellian savrips lacked a formal language, instead communicating through a series of grunts and howls. A few individuals were known to have mastered the Basic language, but chose to speak it only in the company of those it trusted. The bite of a savrip was poisonous to most mammals, although it only induced a brief period of unconsciousness in most humanoid races. (CCG, ANT, UA)

Savrip Clan
This was one of the many "clans" formed by the Jedi Council to facilitate the training of young individuals, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Like other such groups, the Savrip Clan was made up of children of varying species between the ages of four and eight standard years. They trained in these groups until they were thirteen years old, at which time they were either chosen by a Jedi Master as a Padawan learner or given other duties outside the Jedi Order. (PJSB)

Sav-ro
This was one of the many Eickarie clans that made up the Hu-shi-crive tribe on the planet Kariek, during the height of the New Republic. (FB)

Sav'ruuchi
This being was a noted fashion designer, who produced wondrous pantsuits and casual attire during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN5)

Savvam Lake
Like most bodies of water on the planet Coruscant, Savvam Lake was an artificial lake built for the enjoyment of those living near it. Constructed for the pleasure of the rich and famous, Savvam Lake was lined with trees and flowers which had been genetically bred for their year-round blooms and wondrous fragrances. Also like other bodies of water, Savvam Lake was constructed more than 200 stories above the actual surface of Coruscant, atop the interlocking roofs of several buildings. (APS)

Savvlock's School of Big Business
This well-hidden, though widely publicized, educational institution prepared underhanded businessmen with the know-how to operate in the various underworld activities of the modern galaxy. (WSV)

Savyest, Dee
This Mrlssti was one of several who worked on projects relating to the original Death Star project. The projects were peripheral to the original plans, but were integrated later on. Like many of the Mrlssti who discovered the final use of their work, Dee broke down and believed that he was personally responsible for the destruction of Alderaan. (XWPA)

Sawkee
An alias used by Ponda Baba. (E4R, OWS)

Sawrtin, Thi
This smuggler captain plied the Essien Run during the early years of the New Order. He was summarily executed after trying to bribe Captain Gresia Vleen, after the Tory's Catcher intercepted his vessel. (AIR)

Sawthawne
This Lutrillian was considered by many to be the "Boss of Port Town," during the height of the New Order. An unassuming individual, Sawthawne had his hands in much of the smuggling and slavery that took place along the Ison Corridor. Although his nickname seemed to place him on Cloud City, Sawthawne actually worked from a hidden base in Tibannopolis. He launched many raids against the tibanna mining activities overseen by Lando Calrissian, until the Baron-Administrator of Cloud City hired a group of mercenaries to put an end to the raids. (GORW)

Saw-toothed Grank
This species of large, predatory feline was native to the planet Naboo. The grank's jaws were filled with huge, serrated teeth which it used to capture and tear at its favorite prey, the shiro. The meat of the grank was considered a delicacy by the Gungans, and its hard toenails were machined for use in the engines of bongo submarines. In the wild, granks were solitary predators that hunted with acute senses of hearing and touch. The latter sense was obtained by the hairs that ran along the creature's sides, which could detect vibrations in the air and ground. A few specimens of saw-toothed grank were exported from Naboo as pets or guardbeasts, but these usually became too feral to manage and were set loose. These wild granks quickly dominated their ecosystem, and often preyed upon sentient beings before being destroyed. (GF, WSW, WOTC)

Saxan, Aidel
This Corellian woman served as the Five World Prime Minister, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Distinguished by her black hair despite her advancing years, Saxan was a formidable political force, and represented the five planets of the Corellian System with equal aplomb. When Thrackan Sal-Solo began pushing for Corellia's complete independence from the Galactic Alliance, Saxan found herself unsure how to proceed. Her concern mounted when her accountants discovered that Sal-Solo had been siphoning funds to construct the Kiris Shipyards.

Things came to a head when she met with Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, who implored Prime Minister Saxan to look beyond Sal-Solo's own desires, and see what would happen to all the peoples of the Corellian System if they were fully independent. Solo explained that the economy of the system would soon fail, leaving Corellians, Selonians, and Dralls with nothing to show for their independence but poverty. Saxan took this knownledge and passed it to her advisors, including Sal-Solo, and the Galactic Alliance's initial attempt to subdue the Corellians was met with stern opposition.

However, Saxan found herself in an increasingly difficulty position when Sal-Solo sacked the Minister of War and put himself in the position. She acquired the services of Wedge Antilles to serve as her liaison to Sal-Solo, during the negotiations aboard Toryaz Station in which she hoped to reach a truce with the Galactic Alliance. However, before the negotiations could begin in earnest, Saxan was murdered by a group of killers who were led by Lumiya. She was succeeded as Prime Minister by her former husband, Denjax Teppler. (LF1)

Saxan's Pride
This Corellian warship was one of many that were assigned to protect Centerpoint Station, during the war between the Galactic Alliance and The Confederation, some three years after the end of the Swarm War. (LF7)

Sayblohn
Primary planet in the Sayblohn system, it was the homeworld of the Okfili race. (RPG)

Saychel
This Doctor worked at the New Republic's Meridian Sector medical facility on Nim Drovis, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Saychel was Major Showolter's primary contact on the planet, and the two were old friends from time they had spent on Coruscant during the early years of the New Republic. Saychel's team was in charge of learning everything they could from the Yuuzhan Vong priestess Elan, after the priestess was captured near Exodo II. (HT)

Sayings
This ancient manuscript was written by the scribes of Uueg Tching, who sought to write down his parables, analogies, and military instructions. The document was kept in the Atrisian Imperial Historical Library on Kitel Phard for 3,000 years before it was removed to be copied. The copies were distrubuted to all living members of the Tching royalty some 1,500 years before the fall of the Old Republic. Later, at the height of the New Order, Emperor Palpatine demanded that the original manuscript be brought to Coruscant, where it disappeared into his private collection. Following the Battle of Endor, the exact location of the manuscript was unknown. (SWJ14)

Sayl
This was one of the most common female names among the Corellians. (GMR9)

Sayla
This name was common among the Feeorin race. (UANT)

Sayormi
This race of humanoids lived in some of the deepest parts of the Kkowir Forest on Kashyyyk, where they kept to themselves but defended their territory with vicious attacks on any intruders. The Kerritamba tribe of Wookiees, which lived near the Mysess Glade, believed that the Sayormi were vengeful ghosts who roamed the forest in search of blood. The Sayormi were an unusually ancient race that worshipped a pantheon of dead gods, and they were known to have tamed at least some of Kashyyyk's most dangerous animal life. The borders of their territory were marked with the corpses of their enemies, and several Wookiee bodies in various states of decomposition were among the markers. (SWGAL)

Saz
This being served as a Captain in the New Republic military, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Captain Saz was eventually placed in command of the Blackmoon Squadron of E-Wings, following the Battle of Ebaq. (UF)

Sazen, Wolf
This male Zarbak served as a Jedi Master and teacher at the Jedi Temple on Ossus, more than 100 years after the Battle of Yavin. A former apprentice of Kol Skywalker, Master Sazen briefly trained Cade Skywalker in the ways of the Force, before the Temple on Ossus was destroyed in the wake of the Sith-Imperial War.

When Darth Nihl arrived at Ossus, Masters Skywalker and Sazen were the last of the Jedi to stand between the Sith and the only surviving younglings. Master Sazen was badly injured in the attack, and was taken aboard an escape vessel by Cade, who had disobeyed his father and returned to Ossus. Master Sazen was on the brink of death when Cade, angry at his father's words, refused to allow Sazen to die. Calling on the Force in anger, he used an intense blast of Force Lightning to shock Sazen's body back to life, and the Jedi Master managed to survive.

Despite the fact that Cade apparently died while making sure that the fleeing Jedi survived a second attack, Master Sazen was convinced that Cade had somehow survived. He claimed that he had not felt Cade's death in the Force, and set out on a personal mission to locate Cade and return him to the Jedi Order. For seven years he hid in the outer sectors of the galaxy, until he called a meeting of a handful of survivors on Daluuj. Just as he called for them to return to the galaxy as Jedi, a group of Sith attacked them, and only Sazen and Shado Vao survived.

In the wake of this attack, Shado Vao received an urgent message from his sister, Astraal, requesting his help in rescuing her and Marasiah Fel on Vendaxa. Master Sazen accompanied Vao to the remote planet, where he suddenly found himself in the presence of Cade Skywalker. The young man had become a bounty hunter, and had transported Astraal Vao and the Imperial Princess to Vendaxa. Initially, Master Sazen was cautious about revealing what he knew, but when Cade called on the Force to defeat Darth Talon in combat, he knew that the young man was his former student.

During a quiet period, Sazen approached Cade, who explained that his use of the Force in healing Sazen had brought him too close to the Dark Side of the Force. Thus, he abandoned the Jedi ways and set out on his own. Their discussion was interrupted when the Sith attacked, and Master Sazen found himself confronting Darth Nihl once again. Their battle was cut short when Cade intervened, wielding Marasiah's lightsaber and demanding that Sazen get aboard the Mynock so that they could lift off.

Once free of the Sith, Cade and his crew set out for Bastion, where they returned the Princess to her father. Master Sazen and Shado Vao then set out with Cade, leaving the others behind as they began their own search for answers. Their stopover at The Wheel was enough for Cade to shake them, at least briefly. The two Masters correctly assumed that Ossus was his next destination, and it was there that they were reunited, not only with Cade, but with Master K'kruhk as well. When Cade decided that it was time to become a Jedi - or, at least, get enough training to confront the growing threat of the Sith - Master Sazen agreed to resume his training.

When K'kruhk questioned him later, Sazen explained that he agreed to train Cade because he believed Cade would soon become a rallying point for the Jedi who had been scattered by the Massacre at Ossus. In a vision he had once experienced during meditation, Master Sazen foresaw that a Skywalker would reunite the Jedi, and Cade was the only surviving member of the family. His belief was reinforced by the appearance of Nei Rin, who believed that Cade was the individual to whom she could turn over the artifacts that she and the Yuuzhan Vong had been hiding on Ossus. Cade, however, refused to accept their faith, claiming that the legacy was nothing more than a way to enslave his destiny. It was then that Master Sazen realized that Cade hadn't come to Ossus to re-discover the Force, but to give himself over to death in order to escape the memory of his father, Kol. The two argued and fought for a long period of time, trading physical and emotional blows before Sazen made Cade see the truth: that Kol Skywalker had sacrificed himself to ensure that some of the Jedi could survive, and nothing Cade could have done would change that.

Once Cade saw the truth in Sazen's words, he opened himself to Sazen's teachings. However, Cade received a vision while in the Meditation of Emptiness, and left Ossus to rescue Hosk Trey'lis. Master Sazen remained on Ossus with the other Masters, meditating on their next steps. During one quiet period, Master Sazen had a vision of Cade turning completely to the Dark Side of the Force, and became worried. This vision worried the gathered Jedi, who decided to travel to the Hidden Temple and plan for their final defense. Although the Jedi were glad to learn that Cade and his uncle, Nat Skywalker, were returning to the Hidden Temple, they were concerned when a group of Imperial Knights followed them down to the Temple's location. These Imperial Knights claimed to have been dispatched by Emperor Roan Fel to discuss an alliance with the surviving Jedi, forcing Master Sazen to accept their presence until their story could be verified.

In the meantime, Master Sazen could not help but wonder at Cade's ability to control his powers. Sazen sensed Cade's response to an attack by Shado Vao through the Force, and was concerned that Cade's use of his healing powers bordered on the use of the Dark Side of the Force. He begged Cade to never use the power again, to which Cade responded that he was not bound by Jedi laws, but neither was he a Sith. (SWI88, SWLB, SWLG, SWLC, SWLHT)

Sazet, Livintius
This male Falleen served the Old Republic as an officer of the Ministries of Public Information and Education during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. A lifelong bookkeeper and academician, Livintius was assigned to the Intelligence agency just after the Battle of Geonosis. For his first mission, Livintius was assigned to the team dispatched to rescue Edbit Teeks from the planet Tarhassan. Like most of the rest of the team, Livintius was a rookie, and relied more on his bureaucratic training than his gut instincts. His pages-long mission outline rankled Joram Kithe to no end, and his adherence to this outline and the guidelines in The Book nearly proved to be their undoing. (SWI73, OWS)

Saz'ula, Avke
This Bothan was related to Wurf'al, being his mother's uncle's third wife's cousin. Saz'ula served as a gunnery officer aboard the Avengeance, and was one of the crew members who were imprisoned at the MaxSec Eight facility after they tried to locate the planet Zonama Sekot and destroy its Yuuzhan Vong population. (DN2)

Sazz, Jak
A bounty hunter often found in the Byss Bistro, Jak Sazz was a member of the Ab'Ugartte species. He was rumored to have never turned down a paying job, no matter what it involved. His only constant companion was a huge hydrospanner he named Grivooga. Anyone who insulted Grivooga was quickly introduced to the tool's hard metallic surface, as many of Jak Sazz's crewmen have discovered. (DE1, DESB)

SB Droid
This was a slang term used by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe a super battle droid. (RC66)

SBP-200
This blaster pistol was produced by Elmainin Armaments during the height of the New Order. It was considered by many to be an ineffective knock-off of other, better-made weapons. Its housing was fragile, and its focusing crystals were substandard and poorly tuned to the weapon's power capabilities. (GFT, AEG)

SC1
This was the designation for a Lieutenant in the Imperial Army. The SC1 served as the second officer in command, behind a Captain. (ISB)

SC2
This was the designation of a logistics officer within a company of the Imperial Army. (ISB)

SC4
This was the designation of a company technical officer in the Imperial Army. (ISB)

SC4
This model of Taim & Bak heavy blaster cannon was used on the Explorer submergible. (CFG)

SC-4
This blaster pistol was produced by Imperial Munitions from plans provided by SoroSuub, and was noted for the unusual design of its internal mechanisms. The SC-4's power packs and handle were given unique codes that could be tracked by Imperial computer systems. This allowed law enforcement officers to quickly locate any being who used an SC-4 in committing a crime. Using specially-coded transmissions, Imperial officers could also detonate the power pack of an SC-4 from a remote location, rendering the weapon - and, quite often, the user - badly damaged. (IA, GUN)

SC-401
This was the model number of a pair of stun cuffs developed by Locris Syndicated Securities. Like other such devices, the SC-401 automatically adjusted its cuffs to the size of the being in custody, and continued to tighten if the being tried to struggle out of the cuffs. The cuffs could only be removed by entering a seven-digit code into the keypad. (EGW, AEG)

SC-4X
This was a security droid which was manumitted and given its independence. (MB)

Scabwit
A derisive term used by the Gamorreans. (SWJ14)

Scal, Osh
This Polis Massan was one of the many members of the archaeological team that was investigating the ancient civilization of the sundered world of Polis Massa, during the last years of the Old Republic. After the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi briefly adopted the alias of Osh Scal when he was cornered on Polis Massa by Inquisitori Sancor. When Sancor discovered the ruse, he tried to apprehend Kenobi and Maneeli Tuun, but they managed to avoid capture. (VD3, LJ2)

Scald Vine
These unusual vines exuded a form of corrosive acid as a defense mechanism. When a creature or being brushed against the vine itself, the dripping acid burned through fur, flesh, and cloth, causing intense pain. (SWEMO)

Scale Dust
This was a mild poison created by Amira Nasrabi, from natural materials collected from the sea life of Vaynai's shallow oceans. It caused wild hallucinations in those beings who inhaled it. (GMR8)

Scale-10 Battery
This was a type of small battery that was used in emergency kits. (COJ)

Scale-20 Battery
This was a type of medium-sized battery that was used to power portable bases. (COJ)

Scale-5 Syrup

Scalefish
This was the generic name given to a wide range of shiny, scaled fish native to the oceans of Naboo. (IG1)

Scalp Tick
This parasitic insect was named for the way it latched onto the scalp of a humanoid being. (HSL)

Scalpel Grass
This form of grass was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong to have thick, sturdy blades. Each individual blade of scalpel grass had razor-sharp edges, and grew to the height of a Yuuzhan Vong knee. Because of its sturdy blades, scalpel grass could cut into exposed flesh with realtive easy, making it the perfect plant for growing outside slave compunds and prison camps. (UF)

Scalphunter
This experimental weapon design was developed by the Trade Federation and Merr-Sonn Munitions several years before the Battle of Naboo. The Scalp-Hunter was slow to production, especially after a cargo of the weapons were stolen by Nym and his crew. The Scalp-Hunter was fully automatic, with a collapsible stock and a cortosis alloy barrel. It was produced during a time when mercenaries and other criminal organizations were wary of fighting against the Jedi Knights. (T7, NEGW)

Scaly Tauntaun
This unusual variation on the standard tauntaun evolved on Hoth as a hairless species, despite the obvious advantages of a layer of fur. Unlike its surface-dwelling cousins, though, the scaly tauntaun lived in small herds well below the surface, where they sought out geothermal vents and bubbling hot springs. They seemed to be able to follow the slightly sulfur atmosphere produced by the springs and upwellings, burrowing tunnels where necessary to reach a new cave. These traits made the scaly tauntaun a target of scientific investigation for two reasons: research didn't have to be done in the bitter cold of Hoth's surface, and scaly tauntauns provided an example of a highly-efficient energy processor. They used very little heat in their daily activities, trapping as much as possible within their bodies. This may have allowed them to keep their underground lairs warmer than usual. Scaly tauntauns were extremely skittish creatures, and bolted for the safety of their lairs whenever a wampa appeared. (WOTC)

Scamp
This red-haired youth tried to steal Luke Skywalker's lightsaber, while Luke was on the planet to help it become a member of the New Republic. When Imperial forces retook the planet, Scamp made his move. Luke caught him in the act, however, and Scamp agreed to help Luke look for Raggold's killer in exchange for Luke's protection from looters. Shortly afterward, Scamp revealed to Luke that he only stole things to keep his father from beating him. Scamp then took Luke to meet with Braxas. (MC89)

Scampweasel
This was a term used by the human natives of the planet Bellassa to describe an individual who was both devious and precocious. In general, the term was used in a friendly or amiable manner, and was often used to describe children. (LJ7)

Scan Gate
This was the term used to describe the massive construct that was located in the Gwori System, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Constructed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the scan gate was a huge rectangular, through which every incoming starship was required to pass. As a ship moved through the scan gate, it was bombarded with radiation in such levels that any biological life aboard the ship was destroyed. This ensured that the Gwori System, it shipyards, and the factories on the planet Gwori were part of a droid-only zone, thereby preventing the Galactic Alliance from making an attempt to infiltrate the shipyards. (CWSOD)

Scan grid
This was the generic term used to describe any device used to measure the properties of metals. Darth Vader used one of these devices to torture Han Solo on Cloud City, sometime after the Battle of Hoth. (E5N)

Scan-bounce
This was a slang term used by military communications and sensor officers to describe a situation where a planet's atmosphere caused all kinds of problems with ship-to-ground transmissions. Atmospheres that were laden with trace amounts of metals or metallic compounds were usually associated with scan-bounces, since they deflected any sensor sweep and rendered it useless. Scan-bounce could also occur over worlds with powerful magnetic fields. (LSSM)

Scandium Team
This group of Alliance operatives was led by Dutra Zeneta, and Harovan Toth but was soundly defeated at the Wellte-ir Massacre and later disbanded when only six of its original twenty-eight members survived. It was formed in the early days of the Alliance, and was based in Tharin Sector. However, their influence was felt throughout the galaxy. (SWJ10, SWJ11)

Scandoc
This was the term used to describe the official form of communication between Imperial Intelligence agents. A scandoc was only intelligible upon receipt, having been encrypted to ensure that its contents could not be viewed by non-Imperial personnel. However, each scandoc followed a specific pattern, so that it could be decoded by the recipient. In addition to the identification of the sender and receiver, each scandoc was given a subject line and several abridged identifiers for the confirmation of transmission codes, message context, and the phasecycle of the scandoc's encryption.

Each scandoc was created with a specific phasecycle, which was continually regenerating the message as well as the underlying encryption. Immediately following its receipt, a scandoc was coded to begin mutating a short time later. The mutations began with a few message packets out of every thousand. If the document was reproduced, further mutations occurred until the document was no longer understandable. (RASB, ISB, OWS)

Scanning
This was a slang term used by gamblers during the era of the Galactic Civil War to describe the act of searching out new clients. Also known as fishing, this often meant a secondary income for the gambler, such as investing in a new business venture. (SWJ4, OWS)

Scanoven
This food preparation unit was found in many starship galleys. (OS)

Scapio
This was ostensibly the capital city of the planet Recopia. One of many city-states that existed on the planet's high plateaus, Scapio gained prominence simply because the Thoren Spaceport was located within its boundaries. It was made up from islands that formed a long chain, each of which was linked by bridges that spanned the acid seas. (CCW)

Scar of Remembrance
This red facepaint was used by the rulers of Naboo's human population in times of crisis. The paint was applied to the lower lip in a thick line, and signifies the intense struggles the Naboo faces in the war-filled era preceding the Great Time of Peace. Queen Amidala wore the Scar of Remembrance during the Trade Federation's blockade of her planet. (IG1)

Scarab
This Trade Federation starship participated in the Battle of Naboo. (OWS, SFT)

Scarab Droid
A small, beetle-shaped droid developed for Emperor Palpatine by Sienar Intelligence Systems, a scarab droid could infiltrate most places like a normal insect. The Scarab was produced in order to avoid any legal hassle involved with hiring trained assassins to eliminate Palpatine's enemies. These palm-sized, arachnoid automatons could be programmed to seek out specific targets and deliver a venomous bite. There were some eighteen distinct versions of the Scarab Droid produced, with spines, claws, and shredders serving as the primary weapon on each version. (DE2, EGD)

Scarab Mark VI
This sixth version of Scarab Droid produced by Sienar Intelligence Systems, the Mark VI posted the best kill-ratio among all eighteen versions of the Scarab. These droids had a pair of hard injection fangs mounted on their heads, which could delivery a wide range of poisons. (EGD)

Scarab-class Fighter
This flat-bodied starfighter design was produced for use by the Trade Federation during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Manufactured by Haor Chall Engineering, the Scarab-class fighter was a droid-controlled ship that featured two outrigger-like wings, each connected to the fuselage by a pair of heavy struts. (STF, JSF, SSOG)

Scarcheek
This was the nickname given to one of the Squib assassins who worked for The Directors, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The nickname was used by Jaina Solo to identify the Squib from his counterpart, Longnose. Scarcheek and Longnose were dispatched to Tenupe to eliminate Jaina, as part of The Directors' plan to exact a measure of revenge against Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo. When Jaina managed to apprehend the pair, she interrogated them about their mission before turning them over to the Killiks to remove them from the battlefield. Much to her chagrin, Jaina learned that the Killiks had bound the two Squibs and placed them in the slings of their trebuchets, then launched the Squibs like burnballs into the Chiss encampment. (DN3)

Scardia Station
A cube-shaped space station that served as a base of operations for the Prophets of the Dark Side, it patrolled the Null Zone until it was destroyed by Grand Admiral Makati several years after the Battle of Endor. (LCJ, SWI66)

Scardia Voyager
The private starship used by the Prophets of the Dark Side. (MMY)

Scarface
This was Kajin Savaros' sarcastic nickname for the Imperial Inquisitor known as Probus Tesla. The nickname stemmed from the massive scarring Tesla suffered during an encounter with Savaros, during which Tesla nearly died. (CN3)

Scarhead
This was a derogatory term used by many beings in the galaxy to describe a member of the Yuuzhan Vong race, in the wake of the war between the alien invaders and the Galactic Alliance. (LF7)

Scarl
This large, red star was the central body in the Scarl System. (TFUN)

Scarl System
This star system was the site of a secret Imperial starship construction facility, during the early years of the New Order. It was believed that the Super Star Destroyer Executor was stationed in the Scarl System, during the latter stages of the ship's construction. (TFUN)

Scarlet
This term was used by the Imperial Board of Culture to indicate those songs which were artistically worthless of offensive. (GG9)

Scarlet
This was one of the common designations used by the targetting computers installed on Imperial warships to identify a group of Alliance starfighters. Although the Alliance used starfighters that were often produced in small production runs, or were cobbled together in such a way as to make each one unique, the Imperial naval leaders chose to identify them with transponders codes that were often little more than a group of letters and numbers. In order to distinguish these enemy ships from friendly vessels during a battle, Imperial targetting computers assigned all fighters in a given unit to a specific group, each with a specific designation. The fifth Alliance group discovered by the targetting computer was usually assigned to the Scarlet group, and the ships within that group were also given a numerical identifier, such as Scarlet 1. In situations where starfighters from two or more base ships were participating in a battle, the designation Scarlet was preceded by a character that was unique to the base ship. (TIEP)

Scarlet 4
This was the designation of an Alliance B-Wing that was assigned to protect station AZ 77, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. The Scarlet 4 was captured by Imperial forces led by Maarek Stele, while trying to defend the station.. (TIEP)

Scarlet Dagger
This was the callsign used by Vin Nothos, during the Alliance's mission to rescue Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa, and the rest of the strike team that attacked Bannistar Station, some nine months after the Battle of Yavin. Nothos was a member of Dagger Squadron, which flew the B-Wing starfighter its first live combat mission during the rescue. (SWRVS)

Scarlet Hummer
This small, colorful bird was native to the planet Vohai. (LF2)

Scarlet Pirate, The
This was the nickname of Reddjak, the pirate who was the leading character in the holo-series Space Pirates of the Galaxy, which was popular during the early years of the New Order. (MDCAR)

Scarlet Star
This modified YT-2400 freighter was one of the many ships that were part of the small fleet that was maintained by the Galactic Alliance, in the wake of the Sith-Imperial War. The Scarlet Star and her crew made regular supply runs to various Imperial- or Sith-held locations, stealing or otherwise acquiring bacta, parts, and other supplies that were needed by the military forces who served under Admiral Gar Stazi. (SWLI)

Scarlet Thranta
This Old Republic corvette was under the command of Captain Zozridor Slayke, serving the Judicial Branch of the Republic during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. As the crisis with the Separatists reached a fevered pitch, Captain Slayke and his crew defected from the Old Republic, vowing to take the fight to the Separatists until the Republic decided whether or not to get involved militarily. Although Jedi Master Nejaa Halcyon and an entire task force was to Bpfassh to intercept him, Slayke managed to escape. He also managed to steal Halcyon's starship, the Plooriod Bodkin, which led to the Jedi Master being temporarily relieved of any command duties. (HNN5, JT)

Scarlet Vertha
This Ghtroc Class 720 freighter was owned and operated by Nabrun Leids. It was armed with a double laser cannon. The ship's life-support systems were modified provide a methane-only atmosphere, allowing Leids to travel without the heavy breather mask he had to wear on methane-poor worlds. (SSR)

Scarns
This Sullustan slang word was used as a mild expletive, referring to either a form of excrement or a specific part of their anatomy. (XW, XWP)

Scarpyen
This was a species of immense, predatory insect that was native to the planet Kubindi. The scarypen used its segmented tail to stun or disable its prey. It then used it huge claws to grasp its prey, and injected a debilitating poison into the prey with its dagger-like stinger. Most scarpyens had black, chitinous shells, which allowed them to hide within the forests of Kubindi. (MIS6)

Scarsir, Wottlet
This being was one of the many contributors to the Historia Galactica. Scarsir wrote several passages for the reference's seventieth volume, Iaco Stark to the Clone Wars. (OWS)

Scat
This man was a member of the Garosian underground resistance, during the early years of the New Republic. Scat was held prisoner at the Imperial garrison in Ariana, but was freed from the facility by Alex Winger and her strike team. (SWJ1)

Scatalpen
This predator was native to the planet Aleen, and was known to attack prey that was much larger than itself. The scatalpen would slash open the belly of its prey during a hunt. When the prey tripped over its own entrails, the scatalpen killed it. (NEGC)

Scatalpen
This was the name of Ratts Tyerell's Vokoff-Strood Titan 215 podracer. It was named after the scatalpen predator of Aleen. (NEGC)

Scathe, Loruna
This dark-skinned woman was believed to have once been a member of the Mistryl Shadow Guards. When she learned the truth behind her homeworld's history and the formation of the Mistryl, Scathe could not remain loyal to her heritage. She left the Mistryl Shadow Guards and set out on her own, and eventually formed the Azure Cabal.

Although she chose to compete for the same contracts that the Mistryls were taking, Scathe worked hard to maintain a low profile for her band of mercenaries. Only a select few met with her on a regular basis, with each of her primary lieutenants maintaining a separate cell. These cells were scattered throughout the galaxy, in an effort to avoid unwanted attention. (SWGAL)

Scatrium
This rare, metallic ore was often processed and mixed with other metals to create the blades of swords. (OWS)

Scatter Pistol
see Scattergun (SWG2P)

Scatter, The
This shallow valley was located on the planet Iego, and it was here that the Diathim - also known as the Angels - dragged wayward starships and crashed them. It seemed to be covered with a sheet of ice, but the shiny surface was actually formed by the reflection of light off starship hulls. The Scatter was surrounded by the wreckage of thousands of starships, and the twisted wreckage made access to the valley floor difficult and dangerous. The survivors who managed to eke out an existence on Iego made their homes along the Scatter, using the hulls of starships as shelter. (WOTC, GORW)

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

Scattergun
This old form of weapon uses expanding gas as its propellant. Pellets of stone or metal were loaded into a chamber, and were expelled at high velocity by the release of a certain amount of the expanding gas. (POT)

Scattering
This was the term used by agents of the Internal Affairs division of the Imperial Security Bureau to describe the technique of arresting a largely innocent individual for a non-specific crime, then observing who the individual's associates reacted to the arrest. (ISB)

Scaur, Dif
This man was the Director of the New Republic Intelligence agency during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Prior to heading up the NRI, he had been an Admiral with the Republic's Fourth Fleet. He was distinguished by pale blue eyes and pronounced widow's peak, although many wondered how the frail-looking man could command such power and respect. Scaur and his forces worked in concert with the Chiss, Hapans and Bothans, gathering a wealth of information about Yuuzhan Vong culture and physiology under the auspices of the Alpha Red operation. Scaur was more than angry when Cal Omas and the leaders of the New Republic chose not to emply the Alpha Red virus, based on the concerns of the Jedi Knights. He harbored a deep-seated resentment toward the Jedi, but continued to work toward what he believed were the best interests of the galaxy. Years later, Scaur was placed in charge of organizing the missions to destroy the yammosks on Caluula and Toong'L, just prior to the anticipated Yuuzhan Vong attack on Mon Calamari. His posting as organizer was secondary to his true mission, which was to deploy a new strain of the Alpha Red virus at Caluula. When the virus worked too well, killing not only the Yuuzhan Vong and their biotechnology but also flitnats and winged-stars, the Alpha Red project was once again put on hold. With the surrender of the Yuuzhan Vong at Coruscant shortly afterward, Dif Scaur was quietly forced to resign his position by Cal Omas. (HT, DW, UF)

Scavenger Hawk
These great birds were native to the planet Corellia. They were much like vultures, waiting for an animal to die or be killed. They then consume the leftover flesh. (AS)

Scavenger Squadron
Led by Commander Gennad Rozhdenst, this Alliance Y-Wing squadron was dispatched by Mon Montha to guard Kuat Drive Yards against Imperial attack during the Battle of Endor. Its ranks were filled with pilots who had been orphaned from their original squadron as a result of the losses taken in previous battles, and it had proved itself almost from its inception. (HM)

Scavenger Young
This was the name used by those members of The Young who lived in the wilderness outside the city of Zehava, during the height of its civil war between the Daan and the Melida. (DOD)

Scavenger-series Labor and Recycling Droid
This series of droids, developed in an unusual joint project among several groups of outlaw techsand criminal organizations, was designed salvage the scrap left behind during the Galactic Civil War and recycle it. The various groups who designed and used the Scavengers quickly turned a profit, selling recycled metals and plastics back to the corporations that were manufacturing war materiel. The Scavenger moved about on two heavy treads, and was equipped with a pair of heavy-duty lifting arms. Six small tractor beam projectors ringed the main refuse chute, into which the arms dumped whatever refuse the droid located. Once inside, the materials were broken down and compacted for later storage. (SWJ10)

Scavs
This was a common term used to describe the junk traders who lived and worked on the planet Coruscant, during the early years of the New Republic. These social castaways looted battlefields left behind by the Imperial Civil War and the New Republic's struggle to retake the planet, searching for armor and weapons that could be resold on the black market. (DA)

Scent of Fear
This Taloron Prey Chaser was owned and operated by Crutag, during the height of the New Order. He and a group of bounty hunters flew in the ship to Trinta, in an effort to capture a group of Alliance agents. It was stolen by Halagad Ventor, in order to ensure Crutag remained on the planet. After the deaths of Crutag and Ventor, the Alliance agents took possession of the ship and fled Trinta. (DOE)

Scenter
This small device was created for use by those Toydarians who traveled away from their homeworld. The scenter would regularly emit a spray of algae-mat into the atmosphere, recreating the natural environment of the swamps of Toydaria. (SWK, CVD)

Scentwood
This tree was harvested for its wood, which had a unique fragrance when cured and finished. Scentwood was once used in the manufacture of desks and tables. (HSE)

Scepter of Power
This large amphistaff was controlled by Supreme Overlord Shimrra, as a symbol of his leadership of the Yuuzhan Vong race. (UF)

Scepter of Ragnos
This ancient Sith artifact was believed to have been lost on Yavin 4 during the Great Sith War. It was recovered by the Disciples of Ragnos some ten years after the Battle of Endor, and used by Tavion to drain the Force energy from many locations across the galaxy. The Dark Jedi then planned to utilize the stored power in the scepter to resurrect Marka Ragnos. Although Tavion reached Korriban and was able to transfer the power from the Scepter to Ragnos' tomb, she was killed in combat by Jaden Korr before Ragnos was able to possess her body. Korr then destroyed the Scepter with a slash of his lightsaber, forcing Ragnos back into his tomb. (JKA)

Schaum/Yfarg/Welbig/Fabrico and Associates

Schifil
This man was a security officer working at the Bakuran Senate Complex during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (FH2)

Schinga
This was the generic name of several species of huge snakes that were native to the deserts of Makem Te. Among the many subspecies were the schinga equa, the schinga klaug, and the schinga shikou, which was known as the "pride of Makem Te." (WOTC, GORW)

Schinga Equa
This was one of the many species of schinga, native to the planet Makem Te, that proved to be easily domesticated by the Swokes Swokes. The schinga equa was also the most obedient and strongest of the various schingas. (WOTC, GORW)

Schinga Ikkow
This was one of the many venomous subspecies of schinga, which were native to the planet Makem Te. The schinga ikkow's fangs literally dripped venom when it opened its mouth to attack. (WOTC, GORW)

Schinga Klaug
This was a subterranean species of schinga, native to the planet Makem Te. (WOTC, GORW)

Schinga Picai
This was one of the smallest subspecies of schinga that was native to the planet Makem Te. (WOTC, GORW)

Schinga Shikou
This was the most noble of all the schinga subspecies native to the planet Makem Te, and was domesticated by the Swokes Swokes for use as a mount. These serpent-steeds were often referred to as "the pride of Makem Te" because of their strong bodies and regal demeanor. The average length of an individual schinga shikou was eight meters, and these reptiles slithered about with their heads held up high to survey their surroundings. Those Swokes Swokes who tamed a schinga shikou - or purchased a domesticated one - rode about in a specially-designed saddle. (WOTC, GORW)

Schmong, Ruggle
This noted starship designer created the plans for the warship Malevolence, during the build-up to the Clone Wars. (CWTV02)

Schmood
This Yuzzum was a member of Grappa the Hutt's court. After Mirith Sinn locked the Hutt in a holding cell, Schmood discovered him and released him. Grappa was thankful for the split second it took Schmood to unlock the door, then blamed his imprisonment on the small creature. (CE2)

School For The Learning, The
This was formal name of the Keganite educational facility for The Learning. (TTW)

School of Conceptual Design
This was one of the many institutes of higher learning that were found in Lorrd City, on the planet Lorrd, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. (LF1)

School of Hidden Widsom
This was the only known dueling academy to survive the Clone Wars and the rise of Emperor Palpatine. Founded by Ephaan Kenzon on his homeworld of Baltimn, the School of Hidden Wisdom was outwardly a quaint reminder of the chivalrous fighting styles of the Old Republic. What few beings knew was that the School served primarily to train Jedi Knights and other Force-sensitive individuals in the fight against the Empire. The irony of this situation was that virtually every other dueling academy of the Old Republic failed when popular opinion of the Jedi Order plummeted during the Clone Wars. However, this was the very reason the School of Hidden Wisdom was able to survive. Coupled with Baltimn's remote location, the School had never been heavily attended. When other academies died out, school officials decided to lay low, fading from the public consciousness. Then, as the atrocities of the Empire were revealed, Kenzon began to accept Jedi Knights who were fleeing the Emperor's Purge. He continued to train his students in combat arts as well as in the use of the Force, although Kenzon had abandoned the Jedi Order before becoming a Knight himself. Nevertheless, his maintenance of the School of Hidden Wisdom allowed a great many Jedi to survive and fight against the Empire which tried to destroy them. After the Battle of Endor, Kenzon realized that he had begun to attract the attention of the dying Empire. However, the emergence of the New Republic and the re-establishment of the Jedi under Master Luke Skywalker, gave Kenzon a reason to finally rest. He disbanded the School of Hidden Wisdom, especially after several of his students were accepted for further training at Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. (PJSB)

School of Public Policy
This branch of the Imperial University specialized in educating people on the ways in which a citizen should behave as a member of the Human High Culture. (SWJ7)

School of Torturers
A speciallized training facility set up by Emperor Palpatine on Coruscant. Its students learned the fine art of torture. (COJ)

School, The
This was the term used by the Iskalonians to describe the seventeen distinct races that made up their civilization. The exact origins of The School were lost over time, although environmental upheavals on many of the original homeworlds of the Iskalonians occurred in close temporal proximity, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. These events were followed by several rescue missions, and many of the devastated races were relocated to the planet Iskalon, due to its similary to their homeworlds. Mammon Hoole later led an expedition to the ruined planets to further investigate the origins of The School. (GMR1)

Schoolpad
This was a specialized form of datapad, used to transport schoolwork to and from the classroom. (HNN4)

Schoon
This was another Huttese word for "fool," or any foolish being. It was less common than the term stoopa. (TF)

Schostri
This was a species of vicious, stinging insest native to the Geroon homeworld. They were raised by the Geroon as a form of biological weapon, and they delivered a deadly poison with their stingers. Entire colonies of schostri could be grown in small, lumpy sacs that could be attached to a Geroon's arm, allowing the diminutive alien to pass most sensor scans and deliver the schostri into the target area. The schostri colony was genetically altered to accept the Geroon host as its queen or hive, and remained close by even when the Geroon moved around. (SQ)

Schous, Arleil
This aging male Defel served as one of the Alliance's primary contacts on Tatooine. A former mercenary, Schous was well-regarded as a leader in Mos Eisley's alien community. His advancing age had dimished his ability to warp light, so he was unable to hide in the shadows like younger Defel. (CCG6, CVD)

Schurk-Heren
This immense Yarkora was the owner and Captain of the transport vessel Uhumele, during the final years of the Old Republic. He welcomed Dass Jennir and Bomo Greenbark aboard his ship in the wake of the Clone Wars, after it was learned that the two were the only survivors of the massive battle at Half-Axe Pass. Unfortunately, Captain Schurk-Heren was forced to deliver the news that any other surviving Nosaurians, including Bomo's wife and daughter, had been sold into slavery by the Imperial forces on New Plympto.

Luckily for Jennir and Greenbark, Captain Schurk-Heren decided that New Plympto was no longer a safe haven for himself an his crew, and agreed to transport them to Orvax IV. After learned that Resa had been taken to Esseles by Dezono Qua, Schurk-Heren helped Ko Vakier and Mezgraf secure the front entrance to Dezono Qua's while Jennir confronted the man in his chambers. After Jennir executed Qua for killing Resa Greenbark, he left the crew of the Uhumele behind and set out on his own. Captain Schurk-Heren then set out for Pizkoss, where he arranged to make a deal with Haka Hai. Before meeting with the Ishi Tib, however, Schurk-Heren hid the real artifact in the asteroids near Pizkoss. Although he had no reason to believe that Haka Hai would actually pay what he asked for, Schurk-Heren was unprepared when one of the crimelord's leiutenants, a Gotal named Lumbra, staged his own coup attempt.

When Lumbra and his men tried to steal the crate containing the artifact, it set of a three-way firefight between Lumbra's men, Haka Hai's retainers, and the crew of the Uhumele. Schurk-Heren was not worried about the theft, which led Haka Hai to determine that the artifact was not actually in the crate. Schurk-Heren admitted that he had planned to double-cross Haka Hai, prompting the Ishi Tib to lock the Uhumele's crew in prison until one of them revealed the location of the real artifact. Schurk-Heren was the first to be tortured and interrogated, but he refused to divulge any information. He was then thrown into a cell with several other crew members, and they were surprised when Bomo Greenbark and Crys Taanzer showed up to rescue them. The pair had escaped on their own, and had freed Ratty before setting a trap for Haka Hai and his thugs.

After escaping from Mimban, Schurk-Heren agreed to tell his crew what they had been fighting for. He recovered the crate and showed them its contents, which had been recovered from the frozen surface of the planet Jebble. It was a strange, coffin-like device that was known as the Jebble Box, but little about the artifact was known beyond that. Schurk-Heren arranged to sell the artifact to Fane Peturri, unware that Peturri was actually working for Darth Vader. The crew of the Uhumele were quickly captured by Vader's stormtroopers and shackled to stone pillars, while Vader opened the Jebble Box and released Celeste Morne from four millennia of stasis. Schurk-Heren watched the events unfolding around him, and took advantage of the conflict between Celeste and Vader to break free of his shackles and begin releasing his crewmates. They tried to flee, but Crys Taanzer was struck by the Rakghoul Plague before they reached the Uhumele. Much to his dismay, Schurk-Heren was forced to kill her before she could harm the others.

Schutta
This weasel-like creature was native to the planet Ryloth. (JQ)

Schwa
An Alliance freighter charged with recovering the supplies that were captured from the Star Destroyer Kotiate. (XW)

Schween, Deam
This male Rodian was a noted insult comedian who lived and worked in the Cularin System during the final years of the Old Republic. He was often protected by a pair of Gamorrean bodyguards, as much of his routine caused patrons to become angry at his words. He had very little that was nice to say about any being he encountered, and his vehemence more than made up for the age of some of his jokes. (FOC2)

Science of Darkness
Developed by Mage Lord Cronal, the Science of Darkness was a combination of Dark Side energy and high-technology that could be used to identify an individual's sensitivity to the Force. Emperor Palpatine and his cloning scientists on Byss used the Science of Darkness to gather and store the life energy of those beings who were brought to Byss on "vacations." This allowed Palpatine's minions to create and grow his clones in an environment that was steeped in the Dark Side of the Force. (DE2, OWS)

Science Service
This was one of the many branches of the Corulag Academy. Boonda the Hutt's application for entry into the Science Service was not accepted, and his father Groodo tried to destroy the Academy to exact retribution. The plan was thwarted by the Jedi Knights, who discovered that the Hutts had employed Bartokk assassins to do the job. (E1A4)

Scientific Galactica
This was a journal of science which was published during the last decades of the Old Republic. (DMSH)

Scientific Information Packet
This was a special form of datadisk that had high encryption and security features that protected its contents. Developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, an SIP was often used to carry important plans or operational details between members of the same workgroup. Only members of the group could open the SIP and read its contents. These devices were also referred to as scientific instrument packages, depending on their usage. (SWI77, RAR)

Scientific Instrument Package
see Scientific Information Packet (RAR)

Scientific Method
This turbine-driven, submersible vessel was maintained by the Dorumaa Research Institute during the final years of the Old Republic. The submersible was used to take a lucky few tourists and friends of the Institute out into the deep oceans, where they could view the wondrous creatures that had been reborn in the world's oceans, including the leviathan calves known as Jessel and Titon. Shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars, the sub was damaged on a routine expedition, just after Rufus Trammel kidnapped Jessel. Solwyn Tamm and a group of freelance agents were able to restore the vessel to an operable state, and used it to locate the secret island lair of Trammel and rescue the leviathan. (DC)

Scientist-Philosophers
This was the name used to describe those Oblee who collectively ruled the planet Oblis, many millennia before the onset of the Clone Wars. It was the scientist-philosophers who believed that the Darkstaff could drive off a strange, shadowy creature that tried to control Oblee. The Darkstaff had come into the possession of the Oblee from a wandering trader, who gave no name and simply vanished afterward. When the shadowy creature arrived at Oblis, the scientist-philosophers initially created three powerful crystal shards to collect the life-energy of the Oblee, in an effort to ward the creature off. They also worked with the Priests of Nether, who found a way to channel the life-energies of the Oblee from the shards into the Darkstaff, to drive the creature away. Unfortunately, the attempt to use the Darkstaff led to the destruction of Oblis, and forced the Oblee into the continuum, where they existed as shadow lurkers. During the following millennia, the scientist-philosophers began to understand that they had been manipulated by the Darkstaff itself into using the artifact as a weapon. The shadowy creature had not arrived at Oblis to destroy the Oblee, but had been drawn by the power of the Darkstaff. Unfortunately, when Oblis was destroyed, the shards remained intact, and continued to draw on the lief-energies of the shadow lurkers. Thus, the shards had to be destroyed in order to free them. A group of freelance agents who were working for Nirama managed to achieve this task, smashing the shards and setting the shadow lurkers free. (BIT3)

Scillal
This planet was the site of the Centrality's largest and most prosperous shipyards, managed by Scillal Designs. (GMR5)

Scillal Designs
This was the largest shipwright based in the Centrality, and was based on the planet Scillal. (GMR5)

Scimitar
This was the name used by Darth Sidious to describe the Sith Infiltrator used by his apprentice, Darth Maul. After the Battle of Naboo, the Scimitar disappeared, and its whereabouts were never discovered. (DSSB, NEGV)

Scimitar Assault Bomber
One of the first new starfighters commissioned by Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Scimitar was developed by Captain Tomax Bren. It had the maneuverability of the TIE Interceptor or the X-Wing, the armament of a TIE bomber, and the ability to fly in an atmosphere. It was also equipped with a shield system. The Scimitar Assault Bomber was a dedicated bomber that was designed with the help of the Scimitar Assault Wing, and it was named in honor of this unit. It had a long, central tube for a hull, and was the first TIE-like craft to be a two-man ship. The pilot and bomber sat in the forward section of the hull, which could be jettisoned in emergencies. This forward section was situated in front of the wings, providing enhanced visibility over most TIE designs. The middle section of the hull contained the power generators, sensors, and targetting computers. The rear section contained the bomb bays and engine.

Produced by Sienar Fleet Systems, the Scimitar Assault Bomber was different from the TIE Bomber in that it had only a single ion engine - paired with two interlocked repuslorlift engines - to propel it. It was armed with two racks of eight concussion missiles and two laser cannons. Proton grenades and free-falling thermal detonators can also be carried for deployment via the bomb bays. Roughly 13.8 meters in length, the Scimitar bomber had been rated at speeds of 850 kilometers per hour in atmospheric conditions. By introducing thrust from the repulsorlift engines, speeds of 1,000 kilometers per hour can be sustained during bombing runs. Note that the Star Wars Databank indicates that the Scimitar could attain speeds of 1,150 kilometers per hour in atmosphere, and 1,250 kilometers per hour on bombing runs. The Scimitar was protected by additional hull plating and the introduction of shields. The Scimitar was manufactured by Seinar Fleet Systems for several years after Thrawn's death, but it was eventually phased out of production. (HTTE, DFRSB, EGV, SWJ15, SWDB, SSOG)

Scimitar Assault Wing
Known as the "White Death" because of the light-colored bodies of its TIE Fighters and TIE Bombers, this subgroup of the Imperial Navy's Qeimet Fleet consisted of three TIE Bomber squadrons, two TIE Fighter squadrons, and a recon/drop ship squadron. For much of the Galactic Civil War, the Scimitar Assault Wing was assigned to the Star Destroyer Retribution. Under the command of Captain Tomax Bren, the Scimitar Assault Wing squadrons bombarded key enemy emplacements, taking care not to destroy potentially useful locations. The squadron lent its name to the new Scimitar Assault Bomber, which was a much more accurate and devastating craft than the TIE Bomber. In the wake of the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, Captain Bren and the Scimitar Assault Wing went into hiding. (ISB, SWJ15, SWDB, OWS)

Scimitar Mark II Assault Bomber
This second generation of the Scimitar Assault Bomber was released shortly after the death and defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn. It had improved repulsorlift and ion engines, compared to the original Scimitar bombers. This allowed for cruising speeds of 1,150 kilometers and hour, and bombing-run speeds of 1,250 kilometers an hour. Weapons and hull protection consistent with the original design. (EGV)

Scimitar of Kelso
This AA-9 freighter made a regular run between Coruscant and Nar Shaddaa, during the early years of the New Order. Ch'ord Sy'fon claimed that he could get Sagoro Autem aboard the ship and off Coruscant, shortly after Autem was targetted for arrest by the Empire. Instead, Sy'fon sold the information to Darth Vader and the bounty hunters he had hired to capture Autem. (RL)

Scimitar Squadron
This Imperial TIE Bomber squadron flew regular missions in defense of the shield generator emplacement on the forest moon of Endor, in defense of the second Death Star during its construction. (CCG11)

This New Republic A-Wing squadron was commanded by Colonel Ijix Harona, during the height of the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong. Scimitar Squadron was paired with the Twin Suns Squadron in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. (DW)

Scimitar-class Frigate
This warship was produced for the Imperial Navy, during the era of the New Order. (LF9)

Scintel, Miraj
This female Zygerian served as the Most High Queen of her people, during the final years of the Old Republic. She dreamed of a Zygerrian empire that spanned from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim, believing that the Galactic Republic would be too caught up in the fighting to notice that the Zygerrians were expanding their territory, until it was too late. She explained this vision to Lars Quell when he muscled his way into a Zygerrian slave auction, unaware that he was actually Anakin Skywalker. Despite the fact that Lars Quell saved her from a rebellious slave, the Queen had reason to doubut him when her chief advisor, Atai, could find no record of anyone named Lars Quell. She agreed to let him remain on Zygerria, provided that the slaves he brought to sell were adequate to her needs. She later revealed that she and the Zygerian leaders had made a deal with the Separatists, including the Techno Union and the Commerce Guild, founded on a shared belief that the weak beings in the galaxy should bow to the strong. The Queen believed that Count Dooku was going to name her the Minister of the Slavers Consortium, a full member of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

However, things began to unravel for the Queen when she discovered that Lars Quell was actually Anakin Skywalker, and that he had arrive on Zygeria with Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka Tano, and a group of clone troopers. Once news of the Royal Slave Auction began to filter out of the Zygerian System, as well as the availability of the Kiros Togruta, Count Dooku was forced to confront the Queen about her actions. Although she agreed to be more discreet in her dealings with slaves, the Most High Queen refused to simply execute the Jedi. She had come to believe that the ease with which she captured Kenobi and Skywalker would allow her to subjugate the entire Jedi Order, which was counter to Dooku's own plans to exterminate the Jedi. She then learned that Dooku's appearance had been requested by her own advisor, Atai, and she tried to have him arrested while defying the Count. Dooku, however, had tired of her insolence, and planned to replace her with Atai. In his anger, Dooku used the Force to crush the Queen's windpipe and spine. Skywalker re-appeared and drove Dooku off, but the damage had been done. With her dying breaths, Queen Scintel explained that she had become a slave to her heart, a place that only Anakin had managed to enter. She also revealed that the Togruta slaves had been taken to a processing facility on Kadavo, along with Master Kenobi. (TCW1)

Scintil Vine
This flowering vine was native to the planet Ruusan, and was one of the handful of species that survived the environmental changes that followed the Battle of Ruusan. The natives of the planet found that crushed petals of the scintil vine's flowers could be mixed with the powdered roots of the tass plant and water to create a corrosive paste that could eat through rock and metal. (DBRT)

Scintilla Scavengers
This vicious gang of druids made their home in the iron asteroid fields that surrounded the planet Naboo. Although the druids preferred to remain in the asteroids and mine them for ores and other resources, they were known to ambush any starship that strayed through the Scintilla Steel field. Any beings captured alive were said to be devoured by the druids. (SWG2P)

Scintilla Steel
This asteroid field was located in the Naboo System, and was known to contain the system's largest concentration of iron-based asteroids. (SWG2P)

Scintillant Orb
This was a name used to describe the planet Coruscant during the last decades of the Old Republic. (COD)

Scipio
This planet was one of the many worlds that had direct representation in the Galactic Senate, during the final years of the Old Republic. (CWTV26)

Scissors, The
This was a military term used by naval officers and strategists to describe a series of starfighter dogfighting maneuvers in which two ships attempt to gain an advantage or shooting position on each other. In this series of maneuvers, the two starfighters twisted and weaved in a series of breaks, cutting across each other's flightpath in order to shift positions. The scissors often resulted in a deadlock, with neither ship gaining the advantage, until both ships broke off to attempt another attack strategy. (RASB)

Scitrok
This bronze weapon was used almost exclusively by the Scitrok Warriors. It resembles an eight-foot-long scimitar with barbed spikes lining the inside curve. (GG8)

Scitrok Warriors
This was a sect of warrior monks which live in the barren hills of the planet Vengler. The monks must complete religious training before taking up training in the use of the Scitrok blade. Once they complete their weapons training, they were sent out into the world to sell their services as mercenaries. Any credits they earn were returned to the monastery. The religious training allows the monks to obtain some ability to use the Force, although they don't understand what it is, and were not Jedi. (GG8)

Scizzic
This Ugnaught was typical of his species in that he loved to tinker with machines and tools, but cared little for the mining life of his people. So, when he met Talandro Starlyte on Cloud City, Scizzic jumped at the chance to work for the rogue. Scizzic's first assignment - and many say it will be his only assignment - was to get Starlyte Stationup and running, after years of neglect. Once the Station was more or less self-sufficient, Scizzic went to work establishing the Graveyard repair facility. Scizzic developed a knack for modifying starships, and many independent owners sought him out for repairs. (WSV)

Sclipune
This large mollusk was one of the Yuuzhan Vong's bio-engineered devices, and was developed as a form of safe used to transport villips and other delicate pieces of technology. The heavy shell was parted when the Yuuzhan Vong caressed a fleshy patch near the hinge of the shell. (DTR)

SCM-22
This was the designation of PowerPost's stenographic droid, produced with components desgined by Industrial Automaton. The SCM-22 could fit in the palm of a being's hand, providing an ease of use not capable in administrative droids like the CZ series. the SCM-22 could record dictations and conversations, then could be dispatched to store the information in a remote computer system. Two small treads allowed the SCM-22 to move about, and a specialized jack allowed it to communicate with a host computer. The SCM-22 was originally designed for the New Republic military, but PowerPost eventually expanded its product line with civilian models. (SOL, EGD)

Scod
This man was a member of the cleaning crew known as the Tripod, working on Bakura during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (FH2)

Scohar
This was the capital city of the planet Storinal. It was connected to nearby Revos via a featureless tunnelway that occasionally rose above ground. A number of large, repulsor-powered railcars travelled along the tunnels between the two cities. When the tunnels rose above ground, it gave the passengers spectaculr views of Storinal's wonderful landscaping. (WS)

Scohar Xenohealth Institute
This educational facility was the primary center for disease control, and was located in the capital city of Scohar, on Storinal. Wraith Squadron infiltrated this facility to steal a disease which they could use to help avoid an inspection from the Hawkbat while they commanded the Night Caller. (WS)

Scomp Link
This was a generic term used to decribe a standardized computer access ports. A scomp link allowed any being or droid equipped with a data retrieval device to access a central computer system. The scomp link was a circular port into which a being inserted the access probe. (CCG)

Scomp-spiker
This device was attached to a standard scomp link, and was used to destroy the computer system attached to the link. Once inserted into the scomp link, a power pack was then attached to the scomp-spiker. Once the scomp-spike was charged, it emitted a high-voltage spike of energy into the computer system, destroying the local computer substation and several downstream components. (SWJ13)

Sconn, Davith
This Imperial Navy Lieutenant was an executive officer on the Forger when it attacked Gra Ploven. He was later captured by the New Republic and imprisoned at the Jagg Island Detention facility. It was discovered, during the Yevethan Purge, that Sconn had spent time on N'zoth while part of the crew of the Moff Weblin. He was questioned by Leia Organa-Solo, and was able to provide valuable information about the Yevethan people to the New Republic. (SOL)

Sconn, Sienn
A native of the planet Ryvellia, Sconn's parents were killed during an Imperial retaliatory strike on V'eldalv. Sienn was raised by his uncle, Cryle Cavv, who gave the orphan love and attention, and also taught him the finery points of being a thief. He turned to a life of crime, becoming a master thief by the time he was 23. He limits his work to obtaining wealth from former Imperials, crimelords, and the obnoxious rich beings of the galaxy. He had the uncanny ability to fall into the middle of trouble, and the equally uncanny ability to escape from it unharmed. He once stole a prototype weapon from Rythani Products and Moff Caerbellak, but this was part of a larger plot by Caerbellak to discover New Republic research facilities and command positions. (SWJ5, SWJ9)

Scoop Miner
This term describes any starship designed to mine interstellar gas and rock by simply travelling through space. Scoop miners have a specially-designed bow which collects the tiny debris and passes it into s processing center inside the ship. (SOL)

Scoop Skimmer
This was an airspeeder model that was produced by the planet Utapau, during the final years of the Old Republic. While most of these speeders were manufactured as transports, a military model was available with light blasters. (CHRN2, CVD)

Scoping
This slang term was used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe the act of estimating the resources needed for an upcoming operation. It could also be used to describe the act of "scoping out" a member of the opposite sex, depending on the context in which it was used. (GG9)

Scorch
This clone commando, designated RC-1262, was among the first members of the original Delta Squad, serving with the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Scorch was known as a competant soldier and a demolitions expert, and his ability to overstate the obvious irony of a situation made him the squad's resident wiseacre. He earned his nickname when an accident during a training session burned off his eyebrows, as well as those of his instructor, Walon Vau. Like most of his fellow clones, Scorch saw action during the Battle of Geonosis. About fifteen months later, Scorch and the other Delta Squad clones participated in the search for Ko Sai, after they were assigned to Arligan Zey's task force to locate the Kaminoan scientist. Zey had been given the mission by Chancellor Palpatine himself. The squad discovered that they were not the only group searching for Ko Sai, and that they lagged behind Kal Skirata and several Null-class troopers. Unknown to the members of Delta Squad, their efforts were hampered by Bardan Jusik, who delayed them by forcing them to adopt the roles of public service workers in order to "blend in" and learn what they could from the local populace. The mission came to an end what the head of Ko Sai was discovered in a box that had been sent from an unknown source.

As the war ground on, and word began to filter down of clones who were deserting the GAR, Scorch and his squat mates questioned their ability to actually fire on a fellow clone, despite the fact that the order to shoot had come from a commanding officer. His consternation only increased when Delta Squad was dispatched to the planet Haurgab to put a stop to the rebel activities of the local Maujasi rebels. Scorch could not understand why a team of clone commandos was required to suppress minor rebellions, but he nevertheless carried out his orders, grumbling all the while that clones were superior in most respects to the average galactic citizen. During a normal meal, Scorch and the rest of his squad were caught in an explosion at the front entrance to the mess hall. The sudden and unnecessary loss of life because of the blast shook Scorch, and he immediately wanted to leave the mess hall and kill those who were responsible. Boss and Etain Tur-Mukan were forced to restrain him, until they could get more intelligence on the source of the blast. Scorch later took out his frustration when the squad was able to eliminate the building where the rebels were hiding, removing all the bodies from the remains of the building and filling them with blaster bolts from his weapon.

In the weeks that followed, Scorch and the rest of Delta Squad was assigned to be part of the mission to liberate Kashyyyk from Separatist control. His ability to move through the tree-cities on the planet attracted the attention of Enacca, who grumbled that he would have made an attractive Wookiee, if he were a meter taller and covered with hair. The mission went well, until Sev was trapped behind enemy lines during an attack on a turbolaser emplacement. Jedi Master Quinlan Vos ordered the rest of Delta Squad to retreat, forcing Boss to leave Sev behind. Scorch demanded to be allowed to go back after Sev, and would have abandoned the squad if Boss hadn't shoved him into a waiting transport. Scorch swore that he would never forgive Boss for leaving a brother behind. Following the formation of the Galactic Empire, Scorch and Boss were among the many clones who were conscripted into the Army of the Empire. He often wondered about Bardan Jusik, who seemed to have escaped the Jedi Purge because of the bounty on his head, as well as Etain Tur-Mukan, who had been part of the Republic's forces on Kashyyyk. (LAWS, OWS, SWMW, RCTC, RC66)

Scorch and Thwart
This was the term used by the Galactic Alliance military to describe the tactics of The Confederation, during the conflict that arose in the wake of the Swarm War. According to Galactic Alliance intelligence, the forces of The Confederation were engaging in missions to prevent the Alliance from gaining any assets by destroying entire towns and manufacturing centers before they fell into enemy hands. Military scuttlebutt within the Galactic Alliance also claimed that the forces of The Confederation were also finding similar tactics among the Alliance's forces, leading many military personnel and observers to question the exact nature of the war. (LF7)

Scorch Stick
This material was used to assist larger explosives to cause more damage, or to control the damage of an explosion. Made from an acid-based paste, which could withstand high temperatures, an individual could trace a pattern with the scorch stick. When ignited, the paste would burn a shallow score mark into the material, weakening it and allowing a larger explosive to crack it open. (SQ)

Scorekeeper
This Trandoshan deity was believed to be responsible for judging each of the reptiloids upon its death. The Scorekeeper tallied the number of jagannath points a Trandoshan collected, and determined the proper place for the individual in the afterlife. A female deity, the Scorekeeper was reptilian, with lidless eyes and a bloodthirtsy temperment. If she felt the whim, she could double a Trandoshan's jagannath points for a particularly brave and daring kill. She could also, as a point of pride, reduce a Trandoshan's count to zero for being captured or shamed. (TBH, SWG2P)

Scoritoles, Daggibus
This Givin represented him homeworld of Yag'Dhul to the Galactic Senate of the Old Republic, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. As the Galactic Senate stagnated, Senator Scoritoles and Yag'Dhul seceded from the Republic, joining the Separatists in an effort to avoid the violence which was spreading throughout the galaxy. During the height of the Clone Wars, Scoritoles openly denounced the Republic's efforts to recruit sympathetic Givin to their ranks of astrogators and galactic mappers. His fear was that the Republic would be able to better hyperspatial calculations and better starmaps than those of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, giving the Republic the advantage of reaching far-flung destinations faster than the Separatists. (HNN5, SWI73)

Scorn, Datoro
This mercenary was employed by Begas Tok as a bodyguard, during the time that Tok tried to sell the Shard of Alderaan. Unknown to Tok, Scorn was also under orders from Jabba himself to kill Tok if the auction ended before Tok's debts could be paid off. Scorn was easily distinguished by the scars of his face, the reminders of a shoot-out battle with Lex Kempo. He was also noticeable by the cybernetic eye which replaced the real one lost in the battle. Scorn spent much of the rest of his career as a mercenary and hired gun, hoping for a chance to exact a painful revenge against Kempo. They met up on the Dune Princess, during Tok's auction of the Shard of Alderaan. (LAA)

Scorp Club
Located on the Kuari Princess, this nightclub was more sedate that Xerrol's Place. (RM)

Scorpenek Annihilator Droid
This combat automaton was produced by the Colicoid Creation Nest for the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the height of the Clone Wars. These four-legged combat droids moved about like scuttling crabs, using their pointed legs to move about on a variety of terrain. The body of the Annihilator Droid was little more than a support structure for its two massive arms, each of which held a pair of rapid-fire double laser cannons. The central body contained an infrared photoreceptor and a sensor package that used composite radiation signatures to identify targets, as well as a portabel shield generator. Standing about 3.5 meters in height, a single Annihilator Droid was more than a match the AT-TEs of the Grand Army of the Republic, and military records from the Clone Wars showed that the average Annihilator Droid accounted for the destruction of twelve Republic AT-TEs. While this figure was impressive, it was only augmented by the fact that Republic commanders had to expend huge amounts of war materiel to take down an Annihilator in the field, further reducing their power on the battlefield. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Most Annihilator Droids were shut down and dismantled, although a few were requisitioned by Emperor Palpatine to be sent to the Imperial Department of Military Research. These units were later deployed to guard the Emperor's residence on Byss. (NEGD)

Scorpion IV
This was the name of one of four Imperial CR90 Corvettes that were under the command of Lumiya, following the Battle of Endor. The Scorpion IV was modified to have a rear-firing missile launcher mounted on its aft section. (GAL3, OWS)

Scorpion Slug
This dangerous slug was native to the planet Despayre. This slug was named for the stinger that was found on the end of its tail, which injected a potent poison into its victims. In smaller creatures, this poison was quite lethal. Most humanoids who experienced a scorpion slug sting were afflicted with intense, agonizing pain that lasted for many weeks, if the victim didn't die beforehand. (DSTR)

Scorpion-rat
This denizen of the spice mines of Kessel was a deadly, insect-like rodent with a stinger-topped tail. (CCR)

Scorplan

Scorylance
This was a noted individual from Frozian history. (UANT)

Scoryn
This outlaw was part of the crew of the New Republic starship FarStar, working directly for Gorak Khzam. A former slave who fought her way out of indentured servitude, Scoryn found work as a security officer for a minor crimelord. She organized a mutiny against him, destroying his palace and most of its inhabitants. The crimelord put a bounty on her head, and Scoryn fled the sector. She hid out on Kal'Shebbol, and decided that crewing on the FarStar would help keep her location a secret. She was hired to keep order in the ship's close quarters, serving as Khzam's second-in-command. After the Rodian defected, Kaiya Adrimetrum promoted Scoryn into his place. She used her new position to resolve the conflict between herself and Thanis Gul-Rah, who had tried to bring her to justice many years before. She had been "saved" from capture by Imperial Captain Brannij, but held no loyalty to the Empire. Despite her freedom, Scoryn still had a deathmark on her head. She knew, though, that Gul-Rah was part of the team which murdered Kaiya Adrimetrum's husband, and kept this knowledge secret even after she joined the FarStar's crew. After the FarStar escaped from Q'Maere, Scoryn railed against Captain Kaiya Adrimetrum's plans to continue their mission, citing a mutiny was being discussed among the rest of the crew. After she promoted him to her second-in-command, Scoryn's fears were realized when Lowen Chase actually instigated a mutiny. The ship was plunged into chaos, and despite their differences, Scoryn and Adrimetrum worked together to put the rebellion down. Once control of the FarStar was restored to her crew, Scoryn was placed in charge of investigating any deaths and convening corutmartials where necessary. (DARK, KR)

Scotian, Pedna
This Chev female was a native of the planet Vinsoth, and served the New Republic's Rogue Squadron as Rogue Three during search for Warlord Zsinj. An albinoid in coloration, she was unaware of who her family was, having been raised as a slave. She was rescued from a Chevin mercenary group by Alliance forces during the Galactic Civil War. One of the pilots who rescued her was Will Scotian, and so she adopted the surname of Scotian in his honor. (SOC)

Scotian, Pedna
The Ultimate Alien Anthology indicates that Pedna Scotian was a Chevin individual of some renown. (UANT)

Scotian, Will
This Alliance starfighter pilot was a veteran of Rogue Squadron, and served the Alliance during the attempt to rescue Han Solo from Boba Fett on the moon Gall. Will was a brash, young pilot from the planet Brentaal, and his service record at Oracle Base in Brak Sector caught Wedge Antilles' attention enough to recruit him. His X-Wing was damaged in the battle, and he actually spent very little time with the squadron. He was part of the Alliance assault team which rescued a group of slaves from mercenaries who were supporting the Empire. Among the slaves was a Chev humanoid named Pedna. She was so thankful that she adopted the surname Scotian as her own, in honor of Will's part in the rescue. (WS, SE, SESB)

Scott
This man served the Empire as a Commander in the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Commander Scott was placed in charge of the construction and defense of space station NL-1, during the months leading up to the Battle of Hoth. (TIEP)

Scott, Franklin
Known as "Shorty" to his friends, Franklin was the only member of the Farns to have a repulsor craft. However, despite the fact that the Farns called themselves a swoop gang, Franklin owned a highly-modified Starhawk speeder bike. Franklin joined the Farns because of their good-natured approach to being a swoop gang, for he was scared of the authorities in Mos Eisley. (GG7)

Scourge
This experimental Qektoth Attack Cruiser was owned by the Qektoth Confederation. It measured about 103 meters in length, and was crewed by 30 officers and 10 gunners. It was hyperspace-capable, and was armed with some of the Confederations bioweapons. The primary armament was four plasma cannons and a single bio-energy array. The power requirements of the prototype bio-energy array drained much of the ship's power, so the Scourge was only effective against a single ship, and only if it had the element of surprise. After the initial blast, the Scourge was defenseless until the bio-weapon was recharged. This allowed the crew of the FarStar to defeat the Scourge in combat near Qu'mock Station. (KO, KR)

Scourge
This Victory-class Star Destroyer patroled Darpa Sector during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (FOP)

Scourge
This yacht was Atlee Thanda's personal starship. To protect himself while traveling, Atlee also maitnained a flight of twelve Z-95 headhunters to escort the ship. (WOA26)

Scourge Squadron
This was the primary fleet of Star Destroyers established to protect the Pentastar Alignment. It was under the direct command of Moff Ardus Kaine, and was led by the Super-class Star Destroyer Reaper. (SWJ3)

Scourge, The
This gang of pirates tried to claim the planet Alluuvia as their own, shortly after Radell Mining Corporation established their own claim. The Scourge then captured the Gray Griffins, an Alliance scout team dispatched to explore the planet. In reality, the Scourge had been employed by Imperial Mining, Limited, to guard the planet Alluuvia, after Chalmer Trillili made a deal with the Empire. These actions forced the Alliance to send out a team of soldiers to recover the Gray Griffins. The Scourge was defeated in the assault, and the planet was returned to Radell. (OE)

Scouring, The
This was the Basic name of the Se'Lenti, which was the term used by the Gorothites to describe the ecological and environmental destruction wrought on the planet Goroth Prime during the Aqualish-Corellian War. The offworlders, who each paid handsomely to the P'Dar'Ken for limited and conflicting mining rights, had grown fed up with the manipulations of the Rel'Kan, J'Kek D'rith Kalama. Since neither side could control the planet, they decided that no one would control it. They sent waves of asteroids on a collisionn course with Goroth Prime, and the resulting impacts wreaked incredible amounts of damage. It was estimated that nearly five billion Gorothites died in the resulting cataclysm, with barely two million survivors going underground to escape the destruction. Because of this event, hyperbarides which had been locked into the crust of the planet were vaporized, becoming part of the atmosphere and altering the Gorothite physiology over many generations to accept its presence. The resutling atmospheric conditions had one unique side-effect: repulsorlift engines failed to work on Goroth Prime. (GSE, AE)

They were armed with only 3 turbolasers, but were well-shielded (150 SBD shields protecting a 60-RU hull). They were fast for a large ship, having been rated at a top speed of 80 MGLT. (TIE)

Scout Enforcer
This blaster pistol was produced some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. It was designed to be an advanced version of the hold-out blaster, to be used in desparate situations in remote locations, when no help was available. Thus, it was marketed to scouts and explorers who were regularly out of contact with the Old Republic or any local police force. (KOTOR2)

Scout Soldier
This was the name given to any member of the New Republic Scout Service who maintains their military training, rather than actively exploring the galaxy. Like all Service Scouts, the Scout Soldier receives military training from the New Republic, but serves to ensure that newly discovered planets were protected from claim jumpers and other hostile forces. They can also be called in to quell native uprisings. (GG8)

Scout Survey Unit
This model of ancient exploration droid resembled a large, mechanical spider. Moved about on eight articulated legs, the spherical body of the scout survey unit bristled with sensors, probes, and grasping claws.

SCr-114
This droid was a member of the computer crew aboard the Malka'an Eternal when the ship was abandoned to crash on Edonaaris. Realizing that he was stranded on the planet, SCr-114's programming caused him to resent the organic life that left him there. When a salvage crew came to recover the wreckage, SCr-114 killed them and took their ship. He later became a notorious Outer Rim smuggler, going by the alias Skar to cover his identity as a droid. SCr-114 modified a variety of droids to serve as his crew aboard the Efficient, removing their inhibitors and creating a loyal crew. (SWJ5)

This twenty-year veteran of service to the Royal House of Alderaan's homeguard was known for his loyalty to Alderaan above all else. When the Alderaanian Ascendency Contention occurred, Scrambas was just fifteen years old. He refused to take sides, and made himself available to Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth to help resolve the situation. Then, following in the footsteps of his father, Tash, Scrambas joined the military, and served with distinction for many years. During the Clone Wars, Sergeant Scrambas was on the front lines as Alderaanian armed forces defended their planet from invasion by Separatist droids.

He was later assigned to served as part of Senator Bail Organa's private guard, and visited many war-torn planets as the Senator tried to assess the galactic situation. Scrambas and Organa formed a close friendship, a relationship that later came to include Organa's adopted daughter, Leia.

Unfortunately for Alderaan, Scrambas one of the first troopers killed when stormtroopers from the Devastator boarded the Tantive IV, just prior to the Battle of Yavin. (CCG2, SWDB)

A scramble 9 message that had been given the color purple was generally regarded as the utmost of urgency. (POT)

Scramble Code
This was a form of comlink encryption that was used by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to protect their communications. Each squad had its own scramble code, which allowed only members of the same squad to access inter-squad communications. While this often ensured that Separatist listening posts were unable to listen into the communications, it sometimes prevented other clone teams from coordinating their efforts against a common target. (CWTV05, CWTV07)

Scramble Code 1477
This was another name for secret code set 1477. (CWTV07)

Scramble Code Five
This was a high-priority encryption code used by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. It was used whenever a transmission needed to reach Coruscant from a remote location, with utmost speed and maximum security. (E2C)

This was a form of air intake system that force-fed air into the drive system, boosting the power output of existing engine systems. (EGV, SWG2P)

Scrange
This was a species of crustacean-like amphibians native to the planet Dagobah. These creatures moved about on six crab-like legs, and had a pair of heavily-muscled arms for grasping and crawling. A collection of bio-luminescent patches dotted the dorsal surface of the scrange's body, used for attracting prey or providing light in dark locations.

This was the derogatory name given to the area of the River, found on Off-worlders' Quarter, where droid congregate while their owners imbibe at the River. The droids which were left in the Scrap Heap were fitted with a special restraining bolt of Ropagu design. This bolt overrides the droids' original programming, installing a subroutine which was unique in the sector. If an attempt was made to steal a droid from the Scrap Heap, the programming in the bolt compels the remaining droids to attack the thief and prevent the theft. (TSK)

Scrap Mouse
This small rodent was native to the planet Coruscant, where it lived in trash piles and back alleys. (YDR)

Scraper
This Imperial stormtrooper was one of many that were dispatched to Golrath, under the command of Lieutenant Giel, to search for information on the Alliance's location.

This was the nickname of the Aqualish bounty hunter Negollup. (GMK)

Scrapper's Run
This was one of the many podraces which meandered through the cloud-cities of the planet Ord Ibanna during the last decades of the Old Republic. (RAC)

Scrapyard
This was the name of the largest junkyard found on the planet Belgaroth.

Scrat
A small scavenger. (JTH)

Scratch
This was the term used by many Cestians to indicate an existence in which an individual or family made enough credits to feed themselves, with a little left over to barter with. Usually, it referred to farming communities that eked out sustenance, but never enough to sell for a profit. (TCD)

Scratchback
This term, used in the city of Talos on Atzerri and on most of the Free Trader Worlds, describes the practice of setting up progressively intense areas of merchants in the vicinity of spaceports. The initial area surrounding Free Trader spaceports was set up to fleece unsuspecting travelers of their credits through the use of illusory taxes and shoddy merchandise. Most experienced travellers were detected by these merchants, and were expertly routed to more intense sales areas farther from the spaceport. If the travellers still didn't part with their credits, chances were their funds will be stolen as they move further from the law enforcement present at the starport. The "scratchback" occurs when the more intense salesbeings pay a "referral fee" to those businesses close to the spaceport who pass on the more experienced travellers. (SOL)

Scratcher
This beast, native to the planet Ansion, was named for the way it rubbed its belly against the stones, in an effort to satisfy an itch or remove unwanted parasites. (APS)

Screamer
This Aratech jumper jet pack was based on a fiberlight chassis, to which were attached a pair of thrust cones. Propulsion was created through the ignition of solid and liquid fuels, and was capable of carrying the user 100 meters horizontally. The Screamer can also propel the user 70 meters vertically. Each pack can make about 10 jumps before it requires refueling. (CFG)

Screamer
This was the Imperial name for the teezl, used by the line officers and soldiers who served under Admiral Giel. (MC61)

Screamer Chip
This was one of the primary components of any sonic beam weapon. The screamer chip was responsible for producing the sounds that were emitted by the weapon, and could be programmed to generate sounds in a variety of frequencies. (CVD)

Screamer Gong
This type of musical cymbal was used in conjunction with a drumheller harp. (VD)

Screamer Squadron
This New Republic squadron of X-Wings was hastily formed in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant, and assigned to the Ralroost. Virtually every member of the Screamers was a rookie, with their commander being barely twenty-three years old when the squadron was launched into battle over Ylesia. (Y)

Screaming Jawas
This band often played in the Arcade Omicron, where their alternately thunderous and screeching music had found an audience. (SWJ9)

Screaming Kroobles
This phrase was used to describe a sensation of fear or loathing. (CSWDW)

Screaming Wookiees
This was the name of the training squadron commanded by Atton Repness, before his blackmarket starfighter schemes were exposed. They were based on the starship Tedevium. (IF)

Scree
This unusual species of insect lived in the vacuum of space, inhabiting the Vergesso Asteroids. Named for the sound the insect made when it scraped against the hull of a starship, a scree attacked a starship by latching onto the hull with its sharp-taloned legs. It then began gnawing at the hull plating with its mandibles, exuding a corrosive acid that broke down the metal in the plating, until the scree could enter the ship. Once inside, the scree used its ability to seek out heat and light to find any organic beings inside the ship, which it quickly consumed before searching for other survivors. The carapace of the scree was extremely durable, and could withstand intense blows and even blaster bolts. This allowed a scree to move through a combat zone without regard for space-borne debris. Once a vessel had been scoured of life, a scree would simply fly off and wait for another vessel to stop nearby. A scree moved through space by expelling the gases that built up in its digestive system, using a collection of pores on their exoskeletons to channel the thrust of these gases. Xenobiologists were at a loss to accurately categorize the scree, since it didn't fit into any known, established ecological niche. (UA)

Screed, Terrinald
An Imperial Admiral, Screed was Palpatine's right-hand-man during the early years of the Empire and the New Order. Originally trained at the Caridan Military Academy, Screed was a no-nonsense military expert, and wore an electronic eye-patch. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, Screed was a Judiciary for the Old Republic, and was one of the loudest supporters of Chancellor Palpatine's Military Creation Act. When Duro fell to the Separatists during the height of the Clone Wars, Screed was placed in command of the Coruscant Planetary Defense forces, as it was feared that the Separatists would use Duro as a staging point for striking at the Core Worlds. Screed, along with Jan Dodonna, commanded the Victory Fleet during the Clone Wars, and it was at the Battle of Anaxes that Screed received the injuries to his eye. Years later, after a distinguished career in the military, Screed was assigned to take control of the fuel refineries on Biitu. While he managed to capture Mungo Baobab and install the Great Heep on Biitu, he was unprepared for the efforts of R2-D2, C-3PO, and the young boy named Fidge. This unlikely trio rescued Mungo and destroyed the Great Heep, leaving Screed with nothing to show for his efforts. This was only a temporary setback for Screed, who later survived the Battle of Endor and established a relationship with Warlord Zsinj. The relationship didn't last long, however, as Zsinj ultimately executed Screed for an undisclosed reason. (TGH, DCAR, HNN4, HNN5, FH1, SWI75, SWDB, NECH)

Screeger, Naxy
This Sakiyan male was known as a compulsive gambler, about 130 years after the Battle of Yavin. Although he chose to gamble, Screeger lacked any sort of skill or luck, and owed credits to just about everyone, including the Feeorin pirate known as Rav. When Screeger skipped out on a bail payment to Rav, the Feeorin put out a sizable bounty on Screeger's head, forcing the Sakiyan to try and seek refuge at Brogar's cantina. The bounty on Screeger's head was eventually claimed by Cade Skywalker and his band of bounty hunters, who also managed to capture the Bothan Jedi Hosk Trey'lis at the same time. Hoping to earn more credits and trust from Rav, Cade and his companions brought both Screeger and Trey'lis to Socorro, and delivered them to Rav's base inside the Crimson Axe.

Hoping to talk his way to freedom, Screeger tried to explain how he "helped" the bounty hunters bring in the Bothan Jedi. Rav would have no part of Screeger's explanations, and ordered him to be held in the dungeons until an appropriate form of justice could be identified for his crimes. Naxy managed to escape, but was caught by Cade and Chak'ka when they returned to Socorro. They forced Naxy to bring them to the Golden Gorg cantina, where Cade defeated Rav's goons before turning his lightsaber on the Feeorin and demanding the return of the Grinning Liar. Rav eventually gave in, and Naxy believed that his days would be numbered, since he had brought them to the cantina. Naxy tried to leave Socorro with Chak'ka, but the huge Wookiee would have nothing to do with him. Instead, Cade had Naxy thrown into the uncleaned cargo hold aboard the Mynock and held for safe-keeping. (SWLB, SWLL)

Screel, Shall
This name was attributed to a known Shi'ido individual, but it remained unclear whether or not it was the Shi'ido's given name. (UANT)

This long-running holo-drama chronicled the exploits of Carma Dame, who was portrayed by Neile Janna. It was popular during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SWJ5, OWS)

Scrobb
This Hutt slang term was used to indicate a small denomination of money. (JTH)

Scroll-gun
This was a primitive form of projectile weapon, developed to fit inside the center shaft of a scroll of parchment. Essentially a tube with an explosive charge at one end, the scroll-gun could fire a small, solid bullet at its target with incredible force. (HSL)

Scrounger
This was a slang term used by Alliance military personnel to describe those individuals who obtained the various and sundry supplies that were required by Special Forces units. (RASB)

Scrub Lizard
One of the most predominant forms of life on the planet Korbin, the scrub lizard grows to be three meters in length. The scrub lizard was a carnivorous reptile, and lives near cities and the LastCall. Scrub lizards crawl flush to the ground, and were often mistaken for snakes. They were attracted to the kyrf that grows on Korbin, but seem to be immune to its intoxicating effects. The scrub lizard was armed with spiky scales and a tooth-filled maw. When they capture their prey, scrub lizards hold it in their mouths while they shake it violently until it dies. They were ill-tempered beasts. (PG2)

Scrubber Droid
Produced by Industrial Automaton, this series of droids was designed to clean up hazardous materials from spaceports and hangar areas. The scrubber, which resembled a squat box, moved about in search of fuel spills and other areas where potentially dangerous chemicals pooled. The scrubber was effective at its work, collecting as much of the hazardous material as possible without any sort of fear of its dangerous situation. In those situations where a fire broke out before the scrubber could clean up a spill, the droid was equipped with a fire extinguisher to put out a variety of fire types. (AEG)

Scrub-loak
This variety of the common loak was a small, compact plant that was more adapted to survival in desert environments. (POT)

Scrubwort
A plant native to the planet Endor. (AT)

Scruts
This man, a native of Edan II, led a small group of guerrilla fighters which opposed the Imperial occupation of the planet during the period leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Later, he joined his forces with those of the Alliance during the liberation of Edan II. (IAG)

Scry-mint
This sweet-tasting herb was used in the creation of many desserts. (BF4)

SCS-19 Sentinel
Manufactured by TaggeCo, this personal landspeeder provided a measure of security and defense for beings who worried for their own safety. Armed with a twin laser cannon and protected by heavy armor and shields, the 12-meter-long SCS-19 could transport a pilot and two passengers through a number of hostile environments. Note that the Arms and Equipment Guide indicates that the SCS-19 can accommodate up to four passengers and fifty kilograms of cargo. (GFT, AEG)

SCT-1000
This Bith hiding cube was produced by Veretrex Securities. Resembling a small cube, the SCT-1000 was formed from a unique material that distorted light which encountered it. When placed in a niche or on a small shelf, the SCT-1000 appeared to blend into the surrounding wall, producing the visual sensation of a continuous wall panel. (GFT)

Scuba Armor
This was the generic term used to describe the armor worn by soldiers and military personnel who had to carry out missions in underwater or aquatic environments. The scuba armor worn by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic processed oxygen from the surrounding water, allowing the troopers to stay underwater for extended periods of time without having to worry about running out of breathable air. (RCTC)

Scufflemug
This Gran Lord was one of the political cronies installed by Vosdia Nooma, in the Rodian drama The Trickery of Vosdia Nooma. Lord Scufflemug was meant to represent one side of the debate on the Military Creation Act, and was couterpointed by Lady Puffdove. Although critics generally hailed The Trickery of Vosdia Nooma as entertaining, they political allegory and heavy-handed mimicry of the Galactic Senate - represented by Scufflemug and Puffdove - was panned and often described as being in poor taste. (HNN5)

Sculag
This was a term used to describe any witless or weak-minded individual. It was believed to have come from the Cheunh language of the Chiss. (LF6)

Sculpt
This was a generic term used to describe any form of artwork that was created in three dimensions, usually by carving or chipping away material from a solid source. However, sculpts also included those artworks that were glued, welded, soldered, or otherwise connected from three-dimensional pieces. There were also ornamental sculpts that were small enough to be worn as jewelry and clothing accessories. (OF, A)

Scum Sorter
This term used used on the planet Ranklinge to describe any despicable being. (A)

Scum-scrubber
This specialized droid was created by environmental and sanitation engineers on the planet Coruscant, as an automated way to ensure that algae and other natural pollutants didn't foul up Coruscant's fresh water supplies. (CCW)

Scuppa
This humanoid was, at one time, Jabba the Hutt's pilot. Before that, they were partners in crime. Jabba ensured Scuppa's loyalty by implanting a vial of xenoboric acid in his skull following a head-wound sustained during a battle. Jabba held a control stud that could open the vial and release the acid into Scuppa's system. Scuppa was eaten by Princess Nampi, after she had captured Jabba's starship. (JTH)

Scupper Bantoo
This aging CorelliSpace Gymsnor-2 freighter was owned and operated by Maddie Macatten. It was outfitted with obsolete parts and maintained with a loving hand, but barely made it through its travels. The Scupper Bantoo had a slow hyperdrive system, minimal shielding, and was armed with a single heavy blaster cannon. (KO)

Scur
This creature inhabits the forests of Kashyyyk, travelling in large groups. (TT)

Scurrg H-6
This experimental bomber design was developed by Nubian starshipwrights during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. At twenty-two meters in length, the Scurrg H-6 resembled a flattened square, with the center spine raised slightly to provide room for the cockpit and shipboard systems. The ship was developed by the Bith engineer Jinkins, who was working for the Nubian Design Collective at the time, and was proposed for sale to the government of Naboo as a defensive craft. The original design was armed with six wing-mounted laser cannons, a turret-mounted double laser cannon, and a proton bomb launcher. A crew of five was required to fly the ship, consisting of a pilot, navigator, and three weapons officers. However, when the Naboo rejected the design as execessively armed, the Nubians scrapped the project, much to the consternation of Jinkins. The Bith then sought out Nym and arranged to steal the prototype. The ship was eventually refitted with a number of new and enhanced systems, and was renamed Havoc. (SWDB, NEGV)

Scurrier
This small, rodent-like creature inhabited the urban areas of the planet Tatooine. Resembling a large, kangaroo-like mouse, the scurriers jumped along on their powerful hind legs. The males were easily distinguished from the females by the prominent curved horns on each side of thier heads. Most females had short, straight horns. Scurriers congregated in the outlying areas of cities like Mos Eisley, hunting for the insects which come to feed on the rubbish of civilization. The scurrier could also scavenge on the garbage it finds. When cornered or surprised, the scurrier could attack with a vicious bite. Large specimens of scurriers have been known to reach twelve meters in overall length. (SWSE, CCG9, WSW)

Scurrier
This four-legged, insectoid creature was the only indigenous form of life found on the planet Artus Prime. Living in the tunnels and caverns that riddled the planet's crust, these creatures were essentially blind, but used their other senses to track down their prey. When settlers began mining the planet, the scurriers discovered a new source of food. Many miners lost their lives to scurriers, a fate that also awaited the Imperial stormtroopers who later arrived on the planet. (JK2)

Scurrier Disease
This unusual disease, believed to be carried by wild scurriers, was sometimes contracted on the planet Tatooine. (SWRPG2)

Scurrier Tips
This cut of meat was one of the few parts of a scurrier that were considered edible by the natives of the planet Tatooine. The Hutt race was particularly fond of these scuzzi spits. (GPB)

Scurry
This ferbil was kept as a pet by V-Davi, in defiance of the rules of the Learning Circle. (FFT)

Scut
This was a slang term used by military personnel to describe the gossip and unofficial communications that occurred between individuals. It was often up to each individual to ascertain what was the truth and what was idle rumor. (DSTR)

Scut
This was a Corellia word for a drudge or other menial laborer. (SWI83)

Scute
This was the Yuuzhan Vong name for the living scales taken from a dora-mu and used to create living armor on one of their bio-organic vessels. A scute resembled a long, chitinous scale, and could be grown in groups that overlapped their bodies to provide protection on vessels such as the vangaak. (NEGV)

Scutt
This man was one of the many Thaereian spies who were infiltrated into the cities of the planet Cularin, during the final years of the Old Republic. Scutt was part of the cell that worked in the platform city of Bayonard. (JCT1)

Scutt, Chubb
This alien being lived on Nar Shaddaa, during the early years of the New Republic. (DE1)

Scuttle Grazer
This big-eyed creature inhabits the third level of the Kashyyyk forests. They were quick and elusive, moving on several legs across the jungle. (TT)

Scuttling Charge
These small, explosive charges were used by the naval personnel of the New Republic to destroy any pieces of a starship that was too damaged to salvage, but was too valuable to let fall into enemy hands. Scuttling charges reduced a ship to smoldering chunks of fused metal and ceramic, eliminating the possibility that new technology could be copied from the ship's remains. (LSSM)

Scutz
This Alliance shuttle was part of the group that massed in the Javin Sector, following the Battle of Hoth, in attempt to destroy the Imperial space station D-34. The Scutz was eventually captured by Imperial forces. (TIE, TIEP)

Scuz
This bounty hunter worked with Gyran during the Galactic Civil War. (SSR)

This was the Huttese name for a meal of scurrier tips. (GPB)

Scyk
This poisonous predator was native to the planet Tatooine. (SWG2P)

Scyk Light Fighter
see M3-A Scyk Interceptor (SWG2P)

Scylla
This warship was commanded by Daala during the years surrounding the Black Fleet Crisis. Having come out of retirement to help the New Republic win the Battle of Nam Chorios, Daala returned to the Deep Core and tried to establish a new Imperial fleet. The Scylla served as her flagship, and led her brief charge into New Republic territory against Garm Bel Iblis. Unfortunately, Bel Iblis was able to trap Daala's fleet using a pair of CC-7700 frigates. In order to escape, Daala rammed one of the frigates with the Scylla before limping into hyperspace. Due to damage to the ship's navigational systems, the Scylla's jump was blind, and Daala was not seen again.

She reappeared more than twenty-five years later, when she agreed to assist Gilad Pellaeon on a mission to support the Galactic Alliance's attempt to capture the planet Fondor. The Scylla, however, had been scavenged for parts in the ensuing years. (NEGC, LF8)

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

Scy'rrep, Evet
A celebrated shipjacker whose exploits were made into a series of vignettes for Galactic Bandits. He knocked off fifteen luxury starships before he was finally caught. When asked why he preyed on the large luxury ships, he answered, "because that's where the credits are." (SE)

Scythe
The Alliance ambushed a convoy which was led by this Strike-class cruiser, shortly before the Battle of Enodor. (XWA)

Scythe
This clone trooper was a member of Tango Company, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. He distinguished himself from the rest of the unit by having a stylized image of a feline predator tattooed on his forehead. When the unit was sent to Geonosis, as part of a mission to capture Poggle the Lesser, Scythe was infected by a brain worm while taking a well-deserved rest. Under the control of the creature, Scythe became the primary mind in the hive mentality the worms projected. He secretly carried several brain worm eggs back to the unit's barracks, where they hatched and infected other clone troopers. When the unit left Geonosis, Scythe and the other infected troopers quickly took control of the TB-73 medical frigate, killing or infecting other members of the crew to gain access to the ship's bridge. Once in command of the ship, Scythe ordered it put on auto-pilot, keeping it on target to reach the Ord Cestus Medical Center, while the clones saw to infecting the rest of the crew. Their plan was to reach the medical center and infect it, in an attempt to spread the brain worm plague across the galaxy. The two Jedi Padawans aboard the ship, Barriss Offee and Ahsoka Tano, stood in the way of these plans, and although the clones managed to infect Offee, Tano was able to send a transmission ahead to the medical station with a warning. (CWTV30)

Scythe Squadron
This Imperial TIE Fighter group was assigned to defend the second Death Star during the Battle of Endor. Their primary mission was to identify and eliminate any Alliance starfighters which attempted to destroy the battle station from within. The fighters of this group were given P-w702 upgraded maneuvering thrusters to give them more control during flight within the superstructure of the Death Star. (CCG11)

Scythe-class Battle Cruiser
Known as the "cross of fire" to many Imperial starship captains, this ship design was created by the Galactic Alliance during the years leading up to the Sith-Imperial War. Although only about a third the size of a Star Destroyer, the Scythe-class battle cruiser was much faster and more maneuverable. The ship earned its nickname from its distinctive shape. The main fuselage was a flat lozenge shaped unit, while the front of the vessel was dominated by a vertical section that was as tall as the main fuselage was long. This blade-shaped section was lined with torpedo tubes and turbolaser cannons along its front edge, adding further meaning to the term "cross of fire". Because of their size and speed, a group of Scythe-class battle cruisers was more than a match for an Imperial Star Destroyer. (SWLH)

Scythe-class Bomber
This was an Adumari assault craft. (SOA)

Scythis
An Imperial system patrol craft operative during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

SD-1
This was the earliest of the SD-series war droid produced by Balmorran Arms. It was extremely well-armed, but lacked the tactical programming needed to prioritize and eliminate multiple targets. (EGD)

SD-10
A war droid produced by Balmorran Arms for the New Republic, it was the follow-on to the SD-9 and was used by the Balmorrans to battle the Executor Sedriss. Sedriss eventually received some of the droids in a bargain he struck with Beltane. The original design of the droid was done by Umak Leth, and incorporated heavier weaponry and more intelligent programming. The SD-10 was armed with a repeating blaster, a concussion missile launcher, and a plasma-burst cannon. It was also given advanced servomotors and gyrobalancing systems, in part to keep its massive bulk from toppling in combat. (DE2, EGD)

SD-2
This was the second SD-series war droid produced by Balmorran Arms. Like the SD-1, it was extremely well-armed, but lacked the tactical programming needed to prioritize and eliminate multiple targets. (EGD)

SD-3
This was the third SD-series war droid produced by Balmorran Arms. Like its predecessors, it was extremely well-armed, but lacked the tactical programming needed to prioritize and eliminate multiple targets. (EGD)

SD-4
This was the first Balmorran Arms war droid to take advantage of enhanced programming to prioritize multiple targets. It accomplished this by integrating programming which had been stolen from the defunct Darktrooper program. (EGD)

SD41263.1
This record, found within Catalog Nineteen, described an ancient holocron that had come to be in the possession of the Empire, in the months following the end of the Clone Wars. (CN1)

SD-47
This model of servodriver was produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. (PSG)

SD-489
The New Republic registry number of the Star Destroyer Gnisnal. (BTS)

SD-5
This was the second Balmorran Arms SD war droid prototype produced which took advantage of enhanced programming stolen from the defunct Darktrooper program to improve its targeting systems. It improved on the SD-4 design, but was eventually replaced by the SD-6. (EGD)

SD-6 "Hulk"
This was the sixth Balmorran Arms war droid prototype produced in the SD series, before mass-production began on the SD-9. It was originally produced during the final years of the Old Republic, and found widespread use by the early military forces of the Empire. Known as the Hulk, the SD-6 was an immense droid, measuring nearly four meters in both height and width. Its plating was as dense as a starship hull in certain places, and it moved about on two heavy-duty legs. A pair of heavy grasping arms were located beneath a pair of heavy-duty weapons arms, each of which was equipped with an E-Web blaster. An ion cannon was mounted in the "palm" of each grasping claw, giving the SD-6 quite a punch in combat. Among the primary missions of the SD-6 Hulk was guard duty at major spaceport, where it could easily disable small starships that attempted to escape. In the wake of the Galactic Civil War, however, Balmorran Arms had begun production on more streamlined combat droids, and the SD-6 Hulk was taken out of service. (EGD, UA)

SD-7
This was the seventh Balmorran Arms war droid prototype produced in the SD series, before mass-production began on the SD-9. Like its predecessors, the SD-7 took advantage of enhanced programming stolen from the defunct Darktrooper program to improve its targeting systems. (EGD)

SD-7
This small, squat droid used by the Empire as an assistant to IMP-22, performing the more menial tasks while IMP-22 interfaced with human officers. SD-7 had no legs, treads, or wheels, but sat in position to monitor military activity. It had six manipulator arms, used to perform computer-related activities. (REB)

SD-77
This was the model number of Pacnorval Defense Systems' sonic pistol. Like the SG-82 sonic rifle, the SD-77 fired a wide pattern of high-intensity sound waves which could shatter solid objects or stun a living being into submission. (EGW)

Sd-77
see SD-77 (AEG)

SD-8
This was the last Balmorran Arms war droid prototype produced in the SD series, before mass-production began on the SD-9. Like its predecessors, the SD-8 took advantage of enhanced programming stolen from the defunct Darktrooper program to improve its targeting systems. (EGD)

SD-9
A war droid produced on Balmorra for the Empire. It was built during the period of the reborn Emperor's reign on Byss. The original design of the war droid was done by Umak Leth and was basically a three-meter-tall, humanoid automaton armed with a plasma-burst cannon and a heavy repeating blaster, and protected by laser-reflective armor plating and an ionization shield system. Parts of the SD-9's programming and technology was borrowed from the Empire's Dark Trooper project, although this information was not initially released to the new Republic. Balmorran Arms failed to keep development costs down during the design of the SD-9, hoping to overcome the problems it had with earlier models. Thus, the SD-9 proved to be prohibitively expensive to anything smaller than a planetary government. Most SD-9s were conscripted by the Empire. (DE2, EGD, AEG)

S'denSta
This Mrlssti was considered an expert in droid programming, during the height of the New Order. (FTD)

S'diawae
This former Jedi Master was honored by Bisquit Baron for his contributions, with a commemorative holocube that documented his history being included in many QuickSnack and QuickSnackLite meals. The meals and holocubes were available shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. (HNN4)

SDS-632
This Dalabar Micro-Electronics surveillance detection system was manufactured for use by private individuals and small corporations. It used a variety of sensors and detectors to identify and track any outgoing transmissions which it encountered. While the Empire chafed at the availability of this type of device, it allowed consumers to purchase them on the understanding that military technologies existed that could bypass the abilities of the SDS-632. (GFT, AEG)

SD-series Infantry Droid
This series of combat droids, produced by Balmorran Arms, was first designed during the last years of the New Order. Actual production didn't begin until after the Battle of Endor, so Balmorran Arms decided to sell the technology to the New Republic. The Empire's forces managed to capture Balmorra and taken control of the SD-9 droids, but Balmorran Arms provided the prototype SD-10 to the New Republic during the planet's liberation. (AEG)

SD-XX
This Tendrando Arms security droid served as Jacen Solo's personal bodyguard, during his tenure as the leader of the Galactic Alliance Guard. SD-XX accompanied Jacen on the maiden voyage of the Star Destroyer Anakin Solo, during a mission to Hapes. Jacen referred to the droid as Double-X, and kept the droid near him at all times, especially after he assumed to title of Darth Caedus.

SD-XX resembled a scaled-down version of the venerable YVH-series battle droid, with black plating that was reduced in mass to give the droid better maneuverability. Its skull-like head was dominated by bright blue photoreceptors, giving the droid and eerie appearance. SD-XX had trouble reconciling its orders with Jacen's actions, especially when it could not discern the things Jacen felt through the Force. SD-XX attributed Jacen's mutterings and sudden fear of being approached by the Jedi Knights as a kind of organic ghost-firing, and struggled to understand when its services were actually needed.

Over time, SD-XX learned quite a bit about Jacen's dealings while Jacen slept. The droid even came to realize that it had been Jacen who killed Mara Jade Skywalker, although it remained loyal to Jacen and did not divulge this information to any other being. When Ben Skywalker was captured on Coruscant, in the wake of the Second Battle of Fondor, it was SD-XX who carried out the primary interrogations, while Jacen - who had now assumed the title of Darth Caedus - was away at the Nickel One asteroid. SD-XX was not above using the variety of equipment that had been installed in its body to torture Ben, but the youth never divulged the information that the droid was looking for. Although Tahiri Veila took over the interrogation, she had no more success, and Ben managed to escape from her control.

In the days that followed, SD-XX was assigned by Caedus to track Ben's movements. The droid was able to trail Ben to Nova Station, where it tried to capture him when he boarded the Blue Slipper with Trista and Taryn. Ben discovered that the droid was attached to their hull, and donned an survival suit to remove it. In a brief struggle, SD-XX was able to pin Ben down in the ship's airlock, but Ben used the Force to shove against SD-XX's body. The droid lost its grip on the ship's hull, and was lost in the Carida Nebula. (LF3, LF6, LF9)

Se
This Mandalorian suffix was used to make the plural form of a noun, as in aruetiise. (SWI86)

Se, Nala
This Kaminoan scientist was placed in charge of the Kaliida Shoals Medical Center, during the height of the Clone Wars. Nala Se was unlike most of her kind in that she genuinely cared for the clones she treated, and mourned any soldiers who were lost or killed in battle. Nala Se was later transferred to the Ord Cestus Medical Center. (CWVG, CWTV03, CWTV30)

SE-14
This was a basic blaster produced by BlasTech during the era of the New Order. It was nothing more than a tube with a grip, and had a small energy pack mounted below the barrel. However, despite its size, the SE-14 was a powerful weapon that delivered quite a punch. (JKG, CN1)

SE-14C
This was an upgraded model of the basic SE-14 blaster from BlasTech. Ponda Baba used one of these weapons, which had a rapid-fire automatic trigger. (JKG, CVD)

SE-14r
This upgrade to the standard BlasTech SE-14 was produced for use by the stormtroopers of the Empire. It was considered a back-up weapon to the E-11 blaster rifle. It was considered a light repeating weapon, with a semi-automatic action. (LAWS)

SE2 Service Droid
This droid was built in the centuries before the Clone Wars, and was designed to act as receptionists and gatekeepers. The remnants of the Empire used SE2 droids to maintain their databanks, such as the one on Bastion. (VOF)

SE-2-4
This SE-4 series servant droid was owned by Lord Vaskel Savill. (LOE)

SE4
A series of servant droids manufactured by Industrial Automaton, the 1.6-meter-tall SE4 was the first major series of droids produced by Industrial Automaton, and helped them grow into the huge corporation they were today. One of the oldest known droid lines, the SE4 resembled the humanoid 3PO protocol droid in shape, and can be equipped with various personality modules.

(SWJ9)

Sebatyne, Saba
This Barabel was one of the leaders of the rogue group of Force-sensitives known as the Wild Knights. Saba and her comrades had been trained by the Jedi Knight Eelysa, during the human's mission to Barab I. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Saba felt that it was time for the Wild Knights to join the Jedi Knights in defending the galaxy. She sent three of her students - her own son Tesar and his hatchmates, Bela and Krasov Hara - to join Luke Skywalker at Eclipse.

Later, after the death of Anakin Solo at Myrkr, it was Saba who suggested that the Jedi Knights begin using Force-melds to join their minds together with the Force, using their combined might in battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. Her suggestion was two-fold, to assist the New Republic's military and to help the Jedi Knights - especially Tahiri Veila - regain a measure of their humanity in the face of devastating loss and anguish. Saba remained part of Luke Skywalker's inner circle of advisors, and she continued to fight against the Yuuzhan Vong invaders.

When her hatchmate, Reswa, was to have her coming-of-age ceremony, Saba returned to Barab I, only to find the world engulfed in flames. The Yuuzhan Vong had reduced the planet's surface to bubbling lava and eliminated all lifeforms. Angry and hurt, Saba attacked the remaining transport ship and its coralskipper escort. Unknown to Saba was the fact that the transport was a slaveship which held all the surviving Barabels, who were to be enslaved by the alien invaders. As she destroyed the transport, Saba watched in horror as Barabel bodies spewed out.

Later, after returning to Master Skywalker, Saba was forced to admit that death was probably better for her people than slavery. Nevertheless, Saba felt responsible for the death of her people, and fought back against the Yuuzhan Vong with a vengeance. That fire was quenched somewhat when Master Skywalker asked her to accompany him on a mission to locate Zonama Sekot. Saba took the offer as Master Skywalker intended it, as a way to take the hunt back to the enemy.

An unexpected outcome of Saba's loss at Barab I was a heightened Force-sense for life. Saba found that she could sense life around her in greater detail, and could even sense when another being was ill. It was not quite a healer's skill, but something that Saba used on many occasions to help her fellow Jedi. This ability brought her closer to the Chadra-Fan healer Tekli, as the two worked together to try and heal Tahiri Veila and, later, Gilad Pellaeon. When the Yuuzhan Vong then attacked Borosk in an effort to eliminate the Imperials, Saba volunteered - along with Danni Quee - to infiltrate a slaveship to liberate the captured Imperials and destroy the ship from within. Their actions in freeing the surviving Imperials earned her the respect of Pellaeon and several other military leaders.

Later, after the Jedi had finally located Zonama Sekot, Saba felt herself drawn into the planet's immense lifeforce. She felt more at home on the rogue planet than on her own homeworld, and this helped her see that in locating the planet and proving that the Jedi indeed looking for a peaceful resolution to the war, she had acquitted herself of the loss of Barab I. Saba found a new resolve to help settle the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. During the final stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, after the living planet Zonama Sekot agreed to help bring about an end to the conflict, Saba was one of several Jedi Knights were bonded to seed-partners and provided with Sekotan starships.

When the Colony began its expansion toward Chiss space, Saba was among the Jedi Masters gather by Master Skywalker to investigate the disapperance of several Jedi Knights. Among the seven missing Jedi was Tesar. Saba was the first to discover that Welk had survived the crash of the Tachyon Flier, after doing battle with him on Jwlio. Upon her recovery from the injuries she sustained from Welk, Saba was surprised when Leia Organa Solo pledged to become a full Jedi Knight, and asked Saba to be her Master. Saba gladly agreed, although she was often frustrated by Leia's constant need to plan everything out, rather than living in the moment.

When Grand Master Luke Skywalker sent out his Force call, during the height of the conflict with the Colony, Saba agreed to remain a standing member of the new Jedi order, and was instrumental in pulling the galxay through the crisis. Her role was later expanded when she was promoted to sit on the Jedi Council, just prior to the onset of the Corellia-GA War. Saba was among the many Jedi Masters who questioned the motives and actions of Jacen Solo in the ouster of Chief of State Cal Omas, and her concerns were only heightened following the murder of Mara Jade Skywalker. Corran Horn and Kenth Hamner chose Saba to provide the eulogy at Mara's funeral, and when Jacen arrived late to the ceremony, Saba took the opportunity to deftly implicate Jacen in Mara's murder.

As the war against The Confederation ground on, Saba agreed to take command of the Night Blades Squadron of starfighters, during the Galactic Alliance's defense of Kuat. She also began practicing ligthsaber combat using two blades instead of one. She was chosen to be on the team that was tasked with infiltrating and destroying Centerpoint Station, eliminating it as a weapon that could be used against the galaxy. She accompanied Luke and Ben Skywalker as part of the main assault team, which put her on the point when they finally encountered Jacen. Jacen wasted no time in luring them toward a set of pre-installed explosives, one of which detonated when Master Sebatyne she came too close to it. She was slammed into the nearest wall and rendered temporarily unconscious, and she suffered burns over large parts of her body. When she regained consciousness, Luke ordered her to return to the rendezvous point, an order that she grudgingly accepted.

In the wake of the Second Battle of Fondor, Saba Sebatyne was one of the first Jedi Masters to agree with Jaina Solo's idea of eliminating Darth Caedus. The Jedi Council had taken to calling Jacen Solo by his adopted title, since most believed that the entity who was Jacen Solo had somehow died in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong War. Master Sebatyne argued in favor of Jaina's plan, stating all diplomatic attempts to control Caedus had failed because he had no qualms about killing his rivals, as evidenced by his murder of Mara Jade Skywalker. During the Jedi Order's defense of their base on Shedu Maad, Saba assumed the role of commando, and boarded the Millennium Falcon during the later stages of the fighting. Han and Leia Solo piloted the ship past the defenses of the Anakin Solo, allowing Saba and the other Jedi Masters to board the Star Destroyer and eliminate any further resistance. (SBS, Y, FH1, FH3, UF, DN1, DN3, LF6, LF7, LF9)

Sebatyne, Tesar
This Barabel and his hatchmates, Bela and Krasov Hara, were trained under the tutelage of Tesar's mother, Master Saba Sebatyne, as members of the Wild Knights before joining Luke Skywalker and his Jedi Knights during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Tesar was the only one of the hatchmates who were Saba's direct kin; Bela and Krasov shared a different mother. One of the females shared the same father as Tesar, but Master Saba had no idea which one it was. The three hatchmates shared a deep, jovial bond, and often shared a sissing kind of laughter at one of their many in-jokes. The three students joined the Jedi strike team which was dispatched to Myrkr, in an effort to locate and destroy the voxyn queen. Tesar managed to survive the assault, and later served as one of Jaina Solo's Lieutenants in the Twin Suns Squadron. After Zonama Sekot reappeared near Coruscant, Tesar served as part of the defensive fleet which protected the planet from attack by the Yuuzhan Vong, a mission which was made all the more important while other Jedi Knights trained to fly aboard their new Sekotan starships.

Five years later, when UnuThul sent out his call for help, Tesar was among seven young Jedi who dropped whatever mission they were currently on and traveled to the Unknown Regions to answer the call. Unlike Zekk and Jaina Solo, Tesar believed that the Chiss were planning to destroy every hive of the Colony, despite the fact that the Force had given the Jedi no indications of the true nature of the conflict. Because of his lack of contact with the Colony, Tesar didn't become a Joiner, although he continued to support the efforts of Jaina Solo and Zekk in helping the Killiks wage their war against the Chiss. To this end, Tesar and Lowbacca relayed the discussions of Master Skywalker and the new Jedi order to Lady Aryn Dro Thul, in an effort to keep Raynar's mother aware of any possible actions against him. When Luke discovered their duplicity, he reprimanded them but did not expel them from the order, recognizing that they were acting out of loyalty and not malice. Instead, he dispatched both of them to Dagobah for the duration of the conflict, so that they could meditate on what it meant to be a Jedi Knight.

Eventually, both beings were allowed back into the Jedi Order, and were among the many Jedi who supported the break from the Galactic Alliance, during the weeks leading up to the Battle of Kuat. (SBS, Y, UF, DN1, DN3, LF9)

Sebb
This Jazbinan was drinking in a bar with some friends when 3DVO was able to show live holovids of the execution of Prepredenko and its own destruction. Sebb suddenly didn't feel like drinking, and began to rethink his support of the Empire. He led a huge group of his buddies in a demonstration against Vader, and helped disrupt the Dark Lord's attempt to capture Luke Skywalker. When Jal destroyed Vader's starship, Sebb's rebels quickly disabled Vader's stormtroopers. (VQ)

Sebiri
This race of humanoids was native to the planet Sebiris. A primitive race of skilled hunters and trappers, the Sebiri were superstitious by nature.

Seboca
This Dug, a popular holodrama star who moved from his homeworld of Malastare to Coruscant during the years following in the Battle of Naboo, was a frequent patron of Dex's Diner. Seboca was entertaining Bogg Tyrell with a night on the town in Galactic City when Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi tried to chase down Zam Wesell. Note that the final chapter of Star Wars: Episode III - The Making of Revenge of the Sith, as provided on the official Star Wars website, indicates that Seboca was a taxi driver. (SWDB, IWE2, OWS)

Sebolto
This Dug was a known distributor of death sticks, who worked from a base on his homeworld of Malastare during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Jango Fett hoped to gain an audience with Sebolto after tracing the death sticks from Groff Haug back to Malastare, during his search for the Bando Gora cult. However, Fett knew that Sebolto wouldn't see him without a good reason. It was then that Rozatta mentioned to Fett that Sebolto had issued a bounty for the capture of Bendix Fust, who Fett quickly apprehended and brought to Malastare. Sebolto had issued the bounty after Fust provided information on his smuggling operation in the Gazzari System to the Republic Security Force. The Republic shut down Sebolto's operations in the Gazzari System, causing the loss of huge amounts of credits. Jango was forced to fight his way into Sebolto's compound on Malastare, along with help from Zam Wesell, and was able to confront the Dug crimelord. He explained that he received death sticks from Tatooine before exporting them to specific buyers, including Groff Haug. Sebolto tried to flee Jango out of fear for his life, but stumbled down a ramp and over a steep wall before plummeting to his death. Before leaving Malastare, however, Jango discovered that Sebolto had been working with both Komari Vosa and the Hutts. This led Jango to travel to Tatooine in his search for Komari Vosa and the Bando Gora. (BH)

Sebs Jemas Flight School
This pilot-training institution was located in Lorrd City, on the planet Lorrd, during the height of the New Order. It was named in honor of Sebs Jemas, a Lorrdian soldier who vanished during the Clone Wars. (OWS)

Sebulba
This unusual creature was a member of the Dug race, and was generally regarded as one of the best pod racers on the planet Tatooine, during the final years of the Old Republic. A native of Pixelito, a village on the planet Malastare, Sebulba resembled a small, hairless horse, although he could walk on his thin hind legs. Sebulba could trace his roots back tot he Black Shred Water clan, to the respected statesman Surdu, a fact that provided him with fodder to inflate his ego. He always wore his racing goggles, either over his eyes or on his forehead. While Sebulba was known as one of the best pod racers, he was also known as one of the dirtiest. It was once suspected that Sebulba caused more than three dozen crashes a year during podraces, many of them fatal. The Dug would stop at nothing to eliminate the competition, and kept a supply of old parts and junk in his pod. When an opponent would get too close, Sebulba would drop a piece of junk out of his pod, interfering with the other drive or - worse - causing massive damage to their pod. Sebulba's pod racer was also equipped with fire cutters, razor saws, and other illegal attachments that could be used to disable an opponent's pod racer. Unknown to many podracing fans, Sebulba also ran a strong slaving operation on the side, using his travels to many worlds on the podracing circuit to move large numbers of exotic slaves in his large freighter. When Anakin Skywalker challenged him to the Boonta Eve Classic on Tatooine, Sebulba could hardly contain his laughter. The human boy was good, but he didn't understand how to cheat in order to get ahead and stay there. The race featured several spectacular pod crashes, many of them the direct result of Sebulba's work. However, he had met his match that day in Anakin, who came from way back in the pack to challenge the Dug. Sebulba tried to disable Anakin's pod, but in doing so he only managed to tangle their Steelton cables together. Anakin was able to maneuver his pod in such a way to break them free, but Sebulba was unable to recover. The huge, X-shaped engines of his pod were sent flying, dragging the pod behind until the cable broke. Sebulba slid to a stop just outside the entrance to Jabba's main concourse. Shortly after the race, Sebulba bought Anakin's pod from Qui-Gon Jinn to replace his own. Because of his actions in the Boonta, Sebulba was forced to re-qualify himself for every major podrace on the professional circuit. Sebulba fathered many children and grandchildren during his lifetime, among them the equally-dangerous podracer Pugwis. Fate, however, eventually caught up with Sebulba, who died in a fatal crash during his "revenge tour" of podraces. (E1, E1N, E1S, QGJ, E1A5, ETM, NEGC)

Also known as the Second Fleet, it was one of the New Republic's defensive starship fleets. It was recalled to Coruscant just before the Yevethan Great Purge. (BTS)

Second Battle of Balmorra
This conflict occurred some forty years after the Battle of Yavin, during the height of the Galactic Alliance's conflict with The Confederation. The forces of The Confederation had been slowly growing, and began pushing their way toward the Core Worlds, in an attempt to drive the Galactic Alliance away from Coruscant. Jacen Solo, having taken control of the galaxy with Cha Niathal, saw through the Force that several key battles would occur that would change the fate of Coruscant. One of them was a strike at Balmorra, where a fleet made up from Commenorian and Huttese warships would try to take control of the planet for its manufacturing capacity.

According to the Force, Solo believed that Balmorra would fall to The Confederation, allowing their military forces to gain valuable strength. If left unchecked, the victors would be able to move on toward Kuat. Thus, Solo ordered the Fourth Fleet to Balmorra, knowing that the ultimate outcome was sealed, but determined to do everything he could to damage The Confederation fleet. This put him at odds with Admiral Ratobo, who failed to understand why the Galactic Alliance's warships kept fighting after Balmorra was captured. When Ratobo was killed, Rear Admiral Gavin Darklighter was similarly confused, but followed Solo's orders.

In the end, Balmorra was captured by Huttese forces, but the Galactic Alliance routed both the Hutt and Commenorian ships in space. This weakened any Confederation force that might have been able to attack Kuat. (LF6)

Second Battle of Bilbringi
This conflict occurred during the Galactic Alliance's war against the Yuuhan Vong who invaded the galaxy. The Galactic Alliance's war plan was based on Operation Trinity, which was a three-pronged effort to cut off the system and its approach to Coruscant and the Core Worlds, in order to halt the Yuuzhan Vong march to the center of the galaxy. The battle involved three main fleets led by Wedge Antilles, Gilad Pellaeon of the Imperial Remnant, and Traest Kre'fey. Antilles made the initial foray into the Bilbringi System, in an effort to locate appropriate reversion points for the other two fleets. His incursion was met by the Yuuzhan Vong, who used the mabugat kan to destroy several HoloNet relay stations, cutting off Antilles from the other two commanders.

Antilles managed to drive off the Yuuzhan Vong with unpredictable tactics and the timely intervention of Han Solo. Antilles himself made it appear as if his flagship, the Mon Mothma, was experiencing a reactor meltdown, giving the Yuuzhan Vong reason to vacate the area in order to avoid damage. Solo then managed to assume control of a Golan Arms weapons platform and helped to drive off the alien invaders. This allowed the surviving Galactic Alliance ships to retreat to Mon Calamari and obtain repairs.

Note that Legacy of the Force: Inferno indicates that this was the First Battle of Bilbringi. (FP, UF, LF6)

Second Battle of Calamari
Admiral Daala, trying to gain some momentum for the crumbling Empire, launched an attack on the homeworld of the Mon Calamari. She openly targetted the main floating cities, which the Mon Calamari were still in the process of repairing following the First Battle of Calamari, with fire from the Gorgon. Meanwhile, she kept the Manticore hidden behind Calamari's moon, where it waited to launch a surprise attack on the orbital shipyards. Admiral Daala struck when the Mon Calamari were not expecting, and was able to severely disable several Mon Calamari cities, drawing the planetary defenses to their aid. The Mon Calamari defenses, however, were being led by Admiral Ackbar, who recognized Daala's tactics as those that were embraced by former Grand Moff Willhuf Tarkin. Thus, Ackbar anticipated the ambush of the Manticore, and moved the half-built hulk of the Startide into a position to disable the Star Destroyer. With the loss of the Manticore, Daala was unable to complete her intended mission, and she was forced to being a slow retreat. This allowed the Mon Calamari to send a distress signal to the New Republic, requesting additional military support. Daala's anger at losing the Star Destroyer drove her to a reckless attack, which was quickly negated by the arrival of a New Republic fleet. Daala chose to flee, rather than press the attack, and the battle was quickly ended. (DA)

Second Battle of Coruscant
This was the name used by the New Republic to describe the struggle to control the planet Coruscant, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Under the guidance of Battle Plan Coruscant, the Yuuzhan Vong were to have two attack forces arrive at Coruscant in a classic pincer move: one force from Borleias and the other from Reecee. However, the Yuuzhan Vong force from Reecee was destroyed by the Republic forces fleeing Borleias, reducing the Yuuzhan Vong attack force by half. Despite the loss of a major part of his fleet, Warmaster Tsavong Lah continued with the planet. A portion of the remaining ships from Borleias entered the Coruscant System by hiding a wave of warships in the OboRin Comet Cluster. As the comets neared Coruscant, the alien warships launched the first wave of attacks on the planet. The New Republic's forces fought valiantly, and nearly defeated the first wave of ships before noticing another huge fleet of Yuuzhan Vong warships dropping out of hyperspace. Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya agreed that the Republic could not maintain control of the planet in the face of the overwhelming odds, and agreed to turn Coruscant over to Warmaster Tsavong Lah. Suspecting treachery, the Warmaster sent Romm Zqar, an aide, in his place. Chief of State Fey'lya, already under intense scrutiny from the Republic, allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to take Coruscant, but not before setting off a large bomb while in the presence of Romm Zqar. The New Republic's forces scattered, left without a centralized government. (SBS, NJOSB)

Second Battle of Duro
This was the name used by historians to describe the second major battle that was fought at the planet Duro, during the Yuuxhan Vong War. The Yuuzhan Vong had already conquered Duro, but were unprepared for the New Republic's attempt to recapture it. Led by a group of Jedi Knights who employed a battle-meld to augment the coordination of the Republic's forces, the New Republic was able to recover Duro with a minimum of bloodshed. (EGF)

Second Battle of Fondor
This was the term used by Admiral Cha Niathal to describe the Galactic Alliance's attempt to capture the planet Fondor and its shipyards, during the years following the Swarm War. The planet had seceded from the Galactic Alliance after Niathal and Jacen Solo assumed control of the Galactic Alliance, having arrested Cal Omas and taken over what amounted to a political coup. Fondor joined The Confederation, turning its shipyards over to the members worlds who had also seceded from the Alliance. Jacen Solo, who had taken on the title of Darth Caedus, wanted to capture Fondor and take over its shipyards, in part to punish the planetary government for seceding, but also to show the rest of the galaxy what would happen to other planets that tried to seced from the Alliance.

Solo's battle plans were never fully outlined to Admiral Niathal or the other in-theater commanders, which concerned Niathal and many of her peers. Only the basics were provided by Solo, which included a preamble in which Nonvideor-class minelayers were sent in first, to cordon off the planet by deploying rings of space mines. With the planet isolated, Solo planned to move in with the Fourth Fleet to secure the orbital shipyards, then force the planetary government into submission. In order to ensure victory, Solo struck a deal with the Moff Council of the Imperial Remnant, ceding control of Borleias and Bilbringi in exchange for naval support during the battle. However, the battle plans appeared to have limited armed forces, making many commanders wonder how Solo planned to take control of all the orbital platforms as well as the planet's surface.

Word of Solo's plans to ring the planet with space mines was leaked to the Jedi Council by Admiral Niathal, who was seeking a way to remove Solo from power, now that he had assumed the guise of a Sith Lord. Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker then relayed the intelligence to the Fondorian government, which launched its own warships to destroy the minelayers. Thus, when Solo arrived with the Fourth Fleet, Fondor was not isolated. Solo's concern only mounted when the Fondorian navy did not answer their arrival in the system. The Imperial forces, under the command of Admiral Gilad Pellaeon, remained in hiding, waiting to see what the Fondorians would do.

Unknown to Solo and Niathal was the fact that Master Skywalker and many Jedi Masters were stationed on the orbital shipyards, using the Force to hide the presence of the Fondorian naval ships at the shipyards. When the Galactic Alliance's forces began to move in on Fondor, the Jedi brought down their illusions, and the Fondorians attacked at will. The sudden appearance of the the Fondorians brought the Imperial forces into the battle, and the ensuing struggle caused losses on both sides of the battle.

In the midst of the fighting, however, Jacen Solo plunged the Anakin Solo beyond the main battle lines in order to attack the cities of the planet. This was countered to the battle plan he had laid out to Admiral Niathal, forcing Niathal to consider Jacen a rogue element. Admiral Niathal then negotiated a cease-fire with Fondorian government, which agreed to surrender if the Anakin Solo ceased its attacks on Fondor's cities.

When Solo refused to stand down, both he and Niathal began calling for the forces of the Galactic Alliance to come to their aid. Many commanders were unsure what to do, since no formal designation of leadership had ever established which of them was superior to the other. In the end, the Alliance's forces were split, although the Imperial forces initially sided with Admiral Niathal. This changed when Tahiri Veila, who was serving as Jacen's liaison to Admiral Pellaeon, assassinated Pellaeon, turning control of the Imperial forces over to the Moff Council.

Jacen was forced to abandon Fondor in order to return to Coruscant, in an attempt to assume total control of the Galactic Alliance. Admiral Niathal gathered whatever ships still supported her, and split from the Galactic Alliance, establishing a government in exile with the assistance of the Fondorian government. (LF8)

Second Battle of Jabiim
This was the name given to the second wave of fighting that occurred on the planet Jabiim, during the height of the Clone Wars. This battle marked the first deployment of the LM-432 crab droid by Separatist forces, and the specialized mud-spraying nozzles used to keep the droids moving earned them the nickname of Muckrackers. (NEGD)

Second Battle of Kamino
This was the term used to describe the attack launched by the Mandalorian Protectors on the cloning facilities of the planet Kamino, near the end of the Clone Wars. The Mandalorian Protectors were augmented by their use of a Battle Legionnaire droid, and made several devastating strikes at Kaminoan cities before being driven off. (OWS)

Second Battle of Kashyyyk
This was the name given to the New Republic's effort to free the planet Kashyyyk from the control of the Second Imperium, after Brakiss and the forces of the Shadow Academy tried to steal Imperial technology from the planet. (JE)

Second Battle of Ruusan
This was the name used to describe the second of seven conflicts that were collectively known as the Battle of Ruusan, which was fought between the Brotherhood of Darkness and the Army of Light a millennium before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. The Sith warriors of the Brotherhood of Darkness won the opening battle, surprising the Old Republic naval forces that had been orbiting Ruusan and pushing them out of the system. This allowed the Sith to blockade the planet, cutting off the combing Jedi-Republic forces that were still on the ground. The Second Battle of Ruusan also ended in victory for the Sith, as the soldiers of the Brotherhood were able to repel a series of attacks in which the Republic's forces tried to recover the ground they had lost. (DBPD)

Second Battle of Sernpidal
This was the naem given by historians to the New Republic's attempt to destroy a shipwomb which was being grown by the Yuuzhan Vong in the rubble of the planet Sernpidal. The Republic decided to launch the attack after Kyp Durron provided the military leaders with evidence of a "superweapon" being cosntructed in the system. Kyp knew that the New Republic - and especially the Jedi Knights - would never condone an attack on a living ship that provided the growing medium for much of the Yuuzhan Vong's technology, so he used the superweapon threat to force the Republic to react. A gutted Interdictor Cruiser was sent into the Sernpidal System first, to set up its gravity wells as a way to get New Republic fighters directly into the combat zone. As the Yuuzhan Vong forces protecting the shipwomb tried to destroy the interdictor, arriving Republic forces quickly decimated the alien fleet and disabled the shipwomb. It then plnuged into Sernpidal's sun and was destroyed. When she found out that Kyp had lied about the true nature of the shipwomb in order to get approval for the attack, Jaina Solo broke off any relationship she might have had with him. Many of the Republic's own fighter pilots also condemned Kyp's actions, claiming that he had dragged them all down to the level of their enemy. (NJOSB, EVR)

Second Battle of Yavin
This struggle for control of the fourth moon of Yavin occurred shortly after the Battle of Endor. The scattered forces of the Empire had been searching for a leader, and several Moffs put for Trioculus as the true son of Emperor Palpatine. The fledgling New Republic had been trying to establish the location the Lost City of the Jedi, with Luke Skywalker hoping to obtain more information on restoring the Jedi Order. Trioculus and the Imperials needed to destroy the Jedi and wipe out the leadership of the Republic, and the two sides met on Yavin 4. Trioculus ordered that much of the forest be burned to the ground, in an effort to destroy the Republic's forces. While the Imperials were defeated, the Lost City was shut down during the battle, and all access to the city was cut off. (GMR5, LCJ)

Second Battle of Ylesia
This battle occurred many months after the Battle of Coruscant, as the forces of the New Republic began to regroup and attack remote portions of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion force. Launching from a secret base near Kashyyyk, Admiral Traest Kre'fey had been leading the Ralroost and her fleet on a series of strikes against Yuuzhan Vong targets. Jacen Solo suggested that the fleet attack Ylesia and capture the Ylesian Senate, thereby smashing the Peace Brigade and bringing it members to public trials. The goal was to make it plainly obvious to all citizens of the New Republic what would happen if more beings stood against the Jedi Knights and the effort to win the war. The opening rounds of the battle went well for the Republic, since the Peace Brigade's fighter pilots were less experienced that the Republic's new recruits. After Thrackan Sal-Solo and renegade Senator Pwoe were captured, victory seemed at hand. However, the Yuuzhan Vong Commander Maal Lah had forces both on the ground and in space near Ylesia, and waited for the Republic to begin retrieving its forces before launching his own retaliation. General Tigran Jamiro's forces were pinned down by Maal Lah's ground teams, until Jagged Fel and the pilots of Twin Suns Squadron smashed the Yuuzhan Vong. This allowed the Republic's ground forces to escape, and left Maal Lah with a badly damaged leg. As the opposing fleets moved into position, a second Yuuzhan Vong fleet maneuvered to cut off the Republic's forces. Jacen Solo managed to discover its presence, and Admiral Kre'fey's ships fired on the second Yuuzhan Vong fleet before it could deploy a single coralskipper. This allowed the New Republic ships to flee Ylesia nearly intact, leaving the Yuuzhan Vong fleets behind. (Y)

Second Belt

Second Birth, The
This was the Yevethan term for what the New Republic called the Yevethan Purge. It represented the resurgance of the Yevetha as the primary power in the Koornacht Cluster, as they extended their influence beyond the twelve Duskhan League worlds. (SOL)

Second Chance
This was the name chosen by Rej Taunt for the YT-1300 freighter that he had custom-built by Bammy Decree, during the early years of the New Order. The ship was built from the scrapped hulk of the Stellar Envoy, which had smashed into the Jendirian Valley III while trying to escape from Coruscant. Decree and his team of starship mechanics, which included a young Shug Ninx, rebuilt what they could from the original ship, and added parts from other YT-1300f and YT-1300p vessels, in order to create the Second Chance. In accordance with Taunt's directives, Decree added upgraded sublight and hyperdrive engine systems, new sensor packages, and communications systems, and had carved out part of the ship's holds to create cabins for Taunt and his guests. However, the exterior of the ship was refinished to look as stock as possible, helping to hide its true nature. Weaponry was kept to a minimum, although the ship was anything but unarmed. Shortly after the end of the Clone Wars, Taunt had hoped to impress a Black Sun vigo by using the ship to transport a cargo of frozen eopie meat to the Colicoids, which would be exchanged for a shipment of deactivated buzz droids. After completing the deal, the Colicoids attacked them, forcing Taunt and the crew still aboard the ship to perform an emergency take-off. Unknown to them, the ship's computer installed by Bammy Decree had been of Colicoid manufacture, and when it was booted up, it sent a signal that suddenly activated the buzz droids. The droids began tearing the ship apart in an attempt to restore it to its stock state, forcing Taunt and his crew to shut the ship down in order to deactivate the droids. They were then intercepted by an Imperial cruiser that had arrived to invesigate their liftoff, and Taunt ordered his crew to jettison the buzz droids and escape. When they activated the ship again, the buzz droids were also re-activated, and they attacked the Imperial cruiser, causing it to explode. The surviving Imperials captured the Second Chance before arresting Taunt and the crew and sending them to prison. (MF)

Second City of Spires

Second Dawn
This was the term used by the natives of the planet Tatooine to describe that period of the day when the second sun rises above the horizon in the morning. It was at this time that most activity on Tatooine began. (SOT)

Second Death
This was the name used by Warlord Zsinj for the unusual warship created from the pieces of the destroyed Razor's Kiss. Nothing more than the spine, engines, and bow of the Razor's Kiss, the Second Death was used near Selaggis Six to help Zsinj feign the destruction of his flagship, the Iron Fist. All markings on the pieces were changed to those of the Iron Fist. A Sentinel-class shuttle was docked at each end, to allow the crew to escape its eventual destruction. The Second Death was left to be destroyed by the New Republic fleet under Han Solo's command, giving them the false impression of the Iron Fist's demise. Zsinj placed the ship within a null-vision barrier comprised of Nightcloak satellites. He then flew the Iron Fist into the satellites' midst, and detonated the Second Death. To external viewers, it would appear that the Iron Fist was destroyed, and the physical evidence would back it up. However, Zsinj had actually leaped into hyperspace after emerging from the far end of the Nightcloak barrier and returned to Rancor Base on Dathomir. (SOC)

Second Droid Revolution
This was the codename of the revolution planned by Archa Sabis, during the height of the New Order. He longed to recreate the ancient Great Droid Revolution on the planet Coruscant, giving the planet's automaton population the freedom he flet they deserved. Initially, Sabis managed to upload a virus into Coruscant's construction droids and automated police vessels, causing them to wreak havoc on Imperial City. His plans were thwarted, however, when the construction droid he was using as his base of operations was disabled by special forces agents, some ten years before the Battle of Yavin. The backlash from this event was intense, as many natives of Coruscant believed that it had been a cyborg plot to destroy the Empire. Behind a wave of Imperial propaganda, cyborgs were persecuted across the galaxy for years to come. (CCW, OWS, NEGD)

Second Fleet
This was the name given to one of the secondary naval fleets of the Galactic Alliance, during the final stages of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Second Fleet, comprised mainly of the surviving ships of the New Republic's Second Battle Group, was commanded by General Garm Bel Iblis from his flagship, the Harbinger (UF)

Second Galactic Civil War
This was a term used by historians to describe the period of galactic history that encompassed the Corellia-GA War and the Alliance-Confederation War. During this period, the new Jedi Order built by Luke Skywalker seceded from the Galactic Alliance, splitting away in order to remove Darth Caedus from power. (OWS)

Second Great Droid Revolution
This was the term used to describe the results of Archa Sabis' terrorist operation, which he codenamed the Second Droid Revolution. Sabis' virus caused construction droids and automated law enforcement units to wreak havoc on Coruscant, but the so-called revolution only lasted a short time before Sabis was apprehended. (NEGD)

Second Great Schism
This was the second of the so-called Great Schisms that split the Jedi Order apart, during the era of the Old Republic. This second division of Jedi occurred some 7,003 years before the Battle of Yavin, and signalled the onset of the Hundred-Year Darkness. (SWI88)

Second Ilthmar Defense
This was one of the many defensive strategies used in dejarik or holochess. Blue Max suggested that Han Solo might have used it in a game against Chewbacca, during their early travels together. (HSE)

Second Imperium
Brakiss' vision of the reborn Empire, the Second Imperium was developed to uphold the ideals established by Emperor Palpatine, while taking advantage of the power of the Dark Side of the Force. Brakiss was trying to train a group of Imperial Jedi to act as caretakers for the Second Imperium, just as Luke Skywalker's Jedi were to the New Republic. He was assisted in the creation of the Second Imperium by renegade Admiral Daala, who had been defeated in battle by Garm Bel Iblis and had retreated to the Deep Core. In the midst of Brakiss' work, four former Imperial Royal Guards began a ruse in which they claimed to be the reborn Emperor Palpatine. Three of them guarded a large meditation chamber, while the fourth used a vast collection of sound bites and holo-clips of Palpatine to create an illusion of his presence. Brakiss, as well as the entire crew of the Shadow Academy, were fooled by the ruse, until the Shadow Academy attacked Yavin 4 and the Jedi Academy. As Brakiss came to demand why Palpatine was ignoring him, he discovered the trickery of the four guards. He killed the three protectors in his anger, but the fourth escaped. He managed to activate the Shadow Academy's self-destruct systems before he fled, killing Brakiss in the explosion. (SA, JUS, ECH, EGF)

Second Mistake
This was the name used by Ludlo Lebauer to describe an unusual piece of art: the carbonite-frozen body of the Squib, Grees. The Squibs had been passing information on Imperial activities to the Invisible Shell in exchange for rare artworks. The artworks were sold to the Empire in exchange for information. Grees, however, managed to convince his companions to start feeding Ludlo false information. In this way, they could get rich while Ludlo was discredited in the eyes of the New Republic Intelligence agency. Ludlo discovered that the information was bogus, and captured Grees. For his treachery, Grees was frozen in carbonite and hung on a wall in Lebauer's office. The Squibs, hoping to recover their friend, convinced Leia Organa Solo to include the Second Mistake in her negotiations with Ludlo for ten Alderaanian boasa statues. Leia managed to back Ludlo into a corner, forcing him to return the artworks in order to simply save face. Grees was eventually freed of the carbonite. (SWI67)

Second Mistake Enterprises
This small transport operation was established by the Squibs Sligh, Grees, and Emala in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. They were the first company to take a contract from the Colony to transport spinglass scultures of the Millennium Falcon and the X-Wing fighter used by Luke Skywalker during the Battle of Yavin to the rest of the galaxy. Unknown to the Squibs, the scultures contained scores of Gorog assassin bugs, bred for their small size and voracious appetites. The transport ships hired by the Squibs also carried stolen Tibanna gas and hyperdrive components into the Utegetu Nebula, where the Gorog hoped to build starships of their own to reach the rest of the galaxy.

Secondary Zone
This was the term used by naval officers and strategists to describe the area of space that existed just beyond the so-called Primary Zone of a capital ship. Defense of the Secondary Zone was a difficult task, since it required starship captains to make snap decisions about an enemy's ability penetrate further. In the Secondary Zone, starfighters were too far away to be effective, while larger ships lacked enough mobility to evade fire. Thus, defending captains had to decide whether to fire on the larger ships, which were their primary targets, or shoot down the starfighters before they could enter the Primary Zone. Defending starfighters were able to operate in this area quite effectively, targeting other starfighters as well as bringing missiles and other long-range weaponry to bear on the enemy vessels.

Secrecy Act
This law was enacted on the planet Bakura during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, around the time that Prime Minister Molierre Cundertol began his negotiations with the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium. Ostensibly, the Secrecy Act was created to ensure that Bakuran information remained on Bakura, and was not acquired or stolen by the New Republic, the Yuuzhan Vong, or the Ssi-ruuk. In reality, the Secrecy Act was meant to ensure that Cundertol's plans were not discovered. (FH2)

Secret Order of the Empire
This was the name given to the elite group of Imperial servants who were sworn to protect Emperor Palpatine at all costs. Distinguished by their singular robes, the members of the Secret Order were people at varying stages of development and loyalty, and membership to the Order was not limited to those individuals who were sensitive to the Force. The newest members of the Order were known as First Initiates. First Initiates moved upward in the Order through the Second, Third, and Fourth Circles, until they could become members of the Inner Circle. Those individuals who proved themselves to be the most dedicated and trusted were often chosen reach the level of Emperor's Hand. Historians later believe that Emperor Palpatine relaxed the Rule of Two during this period, since many members of the Secret Order of the Empire were highly-skilled Dark Jedi. However, these historians noted that neither Emperor Palpatine - who was actually Darth Sidious - nor Darth Vader ever trained an apprentice to succeed them as heirs to the ways of the true Sith. (TIE, NECH, WOTC, TIEP)

Secret Treasure of the Jedi
Vilmarh Grahrk claimed to have been hired to locate this fabled, secret treasure and steal it from the Jedi Kinghts, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. He claimed that he was hired by Bobo - a codename for Darth Sidious - to retrieve the treasure. In order to do so, he "distracted" the Jedi by inciting the Yinchorri to start their conquest of several planets, including Mayvitch 7. This allowed Bobo to infiltrate the Jedi Temple and steal the treasure. However, Bobo left Villie and the Yinchorri to die, and tried to flee unscathed. Villie managed to track him down and take the Treasure for himself, in hopes of returning it to the Jedi for a huge reward. The Jedi Knights, according to Villie, were willing to pay anything for its return, and practically begged him to recover it. Villie later claimed that he lost the reward while betting on Sebulba during the Boonta Eve Classic podrace on Tatooine, when Anakin Skywalker beat the Dug on the final lap. Despite the amazing story, Vilmarh Grahrk never revealed what exactly the Treasure was. (TDV)

This term was originally created to describe an area of the galaxy that contained to 50 habitable star systems. The wild expansion of the late Old Republic caused many sectors to grow larger and less structured, and any structure or limitations to the size of a sector were abandoned. (ISB)

Sector 1Y4F
Unofficially known as the Yaam Sector, this was one of the oldest sectors of Coruscant's Galactic City. It was also quite small, encompassing about eighty square kilometers. Most of the buildings in the sector were well below a kilometer in height, but were packed tightly together. The roads and thoroughfares were therefore quite narrow, prohibiting the use of speeders and larger repulsorlift vehicles. This sector was located in an earlier time zone than the Zi-Kree Sector.

Sector Army
This was the largest collection of army personnel recognized by the Imperial Army. A Sector Army was charged with maintaining Imperial control across a number of star systems, often encompassing all systems in a given sector of the galaxy. Due to resource constraints and logisitics, though, a Sector Army was limited to between two and four Systems Armies. This arrangement of armed forces differed from the Sector Army of the Old Republic, which was a lower-level unit that was analogous to the Imperial Systems Army. (ISB)

This subdivision of the Grand Army of the Republic was formed from four corps, and was commanded by a Jedi Master with the rank of Senior Jedi General. There were two Sector Armies in each Systems Army, and each Sector Army consisted of some 147,456 troopers. (SWI84)

Sector Command
This was the name given to the command leaders of the Imperial Sector Police force that protected the planet Coruscant, during the early years of the New Order. Each Sector Command was responsible for patrolling a specific area of Imperial City. (CN2)

Sector Command and Control
This was one of the original government divisions of the Galactic Empire. Each Command and Control unit was responsible for maintaining the security of their sector of the galaxy. (RDV)

Sector Development
This division of COMPNOR's Coalition for Improvements was similar in most respects to the Sector Monitors of the Coalition for Progress. Each sector of the galaxy had a Sector Development branch, which oversaw the acquisition and distribution of resources in that sector. Some sectors had more natural resources to deal with, and so their office of Sector Development was larger than others. Regardless of size, each Sector Development office was broken down into two units. A Department of Modification was formed to ostensibly assist local infrastructures to modify their existing technologies to accommodate the Imperially-approved standards, although they more often than not created problems with the change-over to cause public unrest that could later be attributed to Alliance sabotage. Also, a Department of Redesign was created to identify those worlds that lacked any kind of value to the Empire, and assisted the Imperial military in ensuring that these worlds were not hold any value to the Alliance. (ISB)

Sector Forces
This was the term used by the Alliance Military High Command to describe any planetary, system, or sector military force that was allied with the Alliance. Unlike the military units that were part of the Alliance, which were deployed when and where the High Command ordered, Sector Forces were based solely in their home sector, and fought battles against the Empire on their own worlds. This allowed the Alliance to gain valuable support in more places than their own forces could cover, with the added benefit of having soldiers who instinctively knew the terrain and environment. The efforts of the thousands of Sector Forces were coordinated by the Alliance Sector Command, which meshed the efforts of the Sector Forces with those of the Alliance military. (RASB)

Sector Four
General Grievous maintained a secret base in this area of the galaxy, during the height of the Clone Wars. (CWTV04)

Sector Governance Decree
Considered one of the many Security Acts passed by the Galactic Senate during the Clone Wars, the Sector Governance Decree was promoted by Chancellor Palpatine as a way to streamline and consolidate the defense and security of individual star systems. Under this Act, regional governors would be appointed to oversee the security and defenses of entire sectors, thereby eliminating redundancy and removing the bureaucracy involved in maintaining defenses at the system level. Ultimately, the regional governors would report to the Senate, although the direction for consistent implementation and management came from Palpatine himself. Many Senators believed that this virtually eliminated the need for the Galactic Senate, since the decisions of the Senate were established on a system-by-system basis, with each Senator representing one or more systems. Over time, this fear became reality, when Palpatine dissolved the Senate and turned complete control of system defenses over to the regional governors. (E3N, SW)

Sector Group
This was the term used to describe sector-level collection of Imperial army and navy forces. This alignment of military resources proved to be the most flexible, allowing forces to be reinforced at a moment's notice, without severely compromising other forces. Each Sector Group was made up of the military assets that were deemed necessary to maintain order in a given sector, meaning that sectors that were more populous or had more rebel activity were given a larger share of the total military might of the Empire. In this arrangement, army and navy forces were brought together in a single unit, pooling their respective resources in an effort to carrying out their orders and maintaining Imperial control. While the army assets varied greatly, the naval component of a Sector Group consisted of twenty-four Star Destroyers and up to 1,600 warships, with a numerical strength of up to 2,400 ships. (ISB)

Sector Medical
This was the term used to describe the many medical facilities that were arrayed throughout the first Death Star. Each sector of the massive space station had its own dedicated medical team, to ensure that the station's crew had easy access to medical assistance. (DSTR)

Sector Monitor
This was the name of the primary data handling division of COMPNOR's Coalition for Progress. There was a Sector Monitor office in each of the sectors of the galaxy, staffed by COMPNOR agents who monitored the more rebellious facets of everyday life. They sifted through the communications and data generated by beings who worked in the arts, sciences, education, commerce, and justice systems, vigilantly looking for anything that ran counter to the belief system of the New Order. (ISB)

Sector N-1
This section of the northern hemisphere of the first Death Star was set aside for trooper barracks. It held approximately one-twenty-fourth of the hemisphere's total volume. Like the other sectors of the Death Star, Sector N-1 was constructed in-place and then sealed, allowing it to be used as storage until the interior was configured for its designated usage. These sectors could also be equipped with life-support systems, and provide living space for slave laborers and other workers.

When completed, Sector N-1 and other such sectors were divided into several layers. The outer surface was made up of various city sprawls that provided access to the rest of the sector. The outermost layer, about two kilometers thick and just beneath the sprawls, served as the primary habitable space. Beneath the outer layer was the containment section that housed the various power generators and vital systems that kept the habitable layer habitable. Beneath this containment section was usually the interior of the space station itself, which contained the station's hyperdrive and main reactor core. (DSTR)

Sector Naval Academy
This was the term used to describe any branch of the Imperial Academy that was dedicated to the training of naval personnel. Each Sector Naval Academy was modeled after the original Imperial Naval Academy, and many of these schools were often referred to as Imperial Naval Academies. Basic training consisted of a thrity-month program of physical and mental conditioning. Training for officer candidates took an additional year. Graduates of this two-part education were given the rank of Lieutenant, and had the optional of continuing on to more advanced technical training. Those graduates of Sector Naval Academies who excel in their studies and finish in the top two percent of their class were chosen for further training at the Imperial Naval Academy. (ISB)

Sector Office
This was the term used to describe any of the branch offices of the Imperial Security Bureau, located in the various sectors or the known galaxy during the height of the New Order. Each Sector Office received its orders from the Commission of Operations, which helped ensure that the activities of the Sector Offices remained synchronized with the agenda of Emperor Palpatine. Each Sector Office was sub-divided into departments, much like those of the ISB, including Interrogations, Investigations, Surveillance, Re-Education, Enforcement, and Internal Affairs. (ISB)

Sector Ordnanace/Supply
The branch of the New Republic that was responsible for keeping the various armed forces bases fully-stocked and ready for action. It was also responsible for peacetime supplies. (TLC)

Sector Patrol
This police and security outfit controlled a portion of the Outer Rim Territories during the early years of the New Republic. (TFNR)

Sector Performing Arts Center
Known as a SecPAC, these edifices were one of the few used by Imperial officials for the performing arts. Located on the various sector capital worlds throughout the Empire, the SecPACs were often Old Republic arts centers reused for their intended purposes. (TA)

Sector Plexus
This was the name given to the central point of flow for all information moving through Imperial Intelligence. Sector Plexus maintained a huge database of all Intelligence officers, their aliases, and the connections implied by those aliases. Nearly all communications among Intelligence agencies and their officers passed through the Sector Plexus, ensuring that there was adequate encryption and security so that no data was lost or stolen. Depending on the priority of a given message, the Sector Plexus routed the message through a series of nodes and links, with higher priority messages traversing fewer hops. Because the Sector Plexus handled so much information - rumors held that a day's worth of information passing through Sector Plexus was equivalent to the amount of data transmitted by a normal planetary government over the course of 800 years - it could not be used in cases of emergency. Thus, the External Communications branch, known as Excomm, was put in place to handle this high-priority traffic. (ISB)

Sector Ranger Database
This database was maintained by the Sector Rangers of the Old Republic, in an effort to track the activities of known criminals and suspected criminal agents. (SON)

Sector Rangers
A loose association of local system police forces which filled the gaps in the galactic law enforcement system, the Sector Rangers were created by the planetary governors of the Old Republic. The Senate authorized the formation of the Sector Rangers in an effort to bring law enforcement to newly colonied worlds quickly and efficiently. The Jedi Knights couldn't be everywhere, so the Sector Rangers held sway in their own systems. When the Empire overthrew the Old Republic, many of the larger forces were usurped into the Imperial machine as the Imperial Sector Rangers. Others simply fell through the cracks, and remained separate enforcement agencies. After the Battle of Endor, the Sector Rangers continued to bring Imperial law to the worlds of the Outer Rim. The motto of the Sector Rangers read, "What others abandon, we protect." (DESB, GG11)

Sector Six
This was one of the many locations found within the first Death Star. Located in the space station's northern hemisphere, it was in sector six that Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered and deactivated the tractor beam that was keeping the Millennium Falcon trapped inside the space station, just prior to the Battle of Yavin. The sector was filled with many deep chasms and open spaces. Note that The Life and Legend of Obi-Wan Kenobi indicates that the tractor beam generator sat atop a thirty-five kilometer tall tower within sector six. (LLOW)

Sector Squadron
A fleet of six Imperial-I class Star Destroyers. (SWSB)

Sector Three
This was one of the original sector boundaries established by the Galactic Empire, in the wake of the Clone Wars. The planet Kashyyyk was located in this sector. (RDV)

Sector Trade Permit
This Imperial document was one of a number of documents required from any spacer who plied the spacelanes during the New Order. The procedures for obtaining the certification were documented in the Spacer's Information Manual. Known as an STP, this document proved that a spacer had been permitted to transport goods and provide travel services across interstellar distances. (SWJ9)

Sector Zero
This was the name used to describe Coruscant's home sector, during the final years of the Old Republic. Sector Zero was later renamed as the Imperial Center Oversector, during the era of the New O4der. (CCW, NECH)

Secura
This was one of the most powerful Twi'lek clans, native to the planet Ryloth. The name meant "skilled" in the Twi'leki language. The clan rose to power during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo, when Pol Secura took control of the planetary government and the glitteryll processing facilities. (ROP, GCG, NECH)

Secura, Aayla
This young Rutian Twi'lek female trained as a Jedi Padawan under the tutelage of Quinlan Vos, before Vos was captured on Nar Shaddaa. Aayla - whose Twi'lek name was actually Aaylas'ecura - She had been rescued from slavery on Ryloth years before by Vos and his Master, Tholme, when she showed a great aptitude in the Force. She was trained by Master Tholme for many years before began training with Quinlan. Shortly after their capture on Nar Shaddaa, Aayla Secura was stripped of her memories by a combination of drugs and chemicals. Unknown to her, it was actually her uncle, Pol Secura, who stripped her memory as well as that of Quinlan Vos. Her connections to the Jedi Knights were partially eliminated, but were stored within her lekku and never truly lost. Pol Secura kept her safely hidden on Ryloth, as a member of his own harem, until Quinlan discovered his deception. Aayla, however, could not remember her connection to Quinlan, having been fed an almost continuous supply of glitteryll. When she tried to use the Force to prevent Quinlan from killing Pol Secura, she accidentally pushed Pol off a ledge to his death. She fled Ryloth in order to avoid capital punishment, and roamed aimlessly for several months. However, with her mind wiped clean, Aayla found herself drawn to the presence of Volfe Karkko on the prison world of Kiffex, and managed to reach the planet aboard Havor's starship. She also hoped to locate her former master and kill him. Karkko, awakened from his long stasis and bolstered by the strength of the feral Anzati of Kiffex, took Aayla as his Queen and groomed her to become an extension of his Dark Side power. When the Anzati attacked the Jedi who had traveled to Kiffex to investigate Karrko's re-emergence, Aayla found herself in combat with Quinlan. She could not kill him, instead allowing the feral Anzati to capture him for later consumption of his "soup." When the Jedi launched their final assault on Karkko's fortress, the Anzat magician ordered Aayla to kill Quinlan once and for all. When he revealed the truth behind her memory loss, and offered her the hope that her memory might be still stored in her lekku, Aayla stopped fighting for a moment. Karkko tried to kill her for her defiance, and Quinlan attacked. In the battle, Quinlan dispatched Karkko, freeing Aayla from his Dark Side grasp. She was allowed to return to Coruscant to continue her training, but the Jedi Council would not let her train with Quinlan. The choice was never given to her, though, as Quinlan chose to set off on his own, letting the Force guide him across the galaxy. They were reunited when they were forced to travel to Kintan to rescue Master Tholme from Kh'aris Fenn. For her efforts, Aayla was elevated to the rank of Jedi Knight upon returning to Coruscant with her Master and Quinlan. Years later, when the call went out to all Jedi to accompany Mace Windu to Geonosis, Aayla Secura was part of the 200-being team. She was also one of the few Jedi to survive the initial stages of the Battle of Geonosis, before Master Yoda arrived with the Army of the Republic. In the aftermath of that struggle, Aayla was dealt another blow when she was told that Quinlan had resigned from the Jedi Order and had joined the Separatists. Although she desparately wanted to bring him back to the Jedi, Master Tholme and the Jedi Council ordered her to concentrate on her duties to the Republic. It was during this period that she found a friend in Jedi Master Kit Fisto, one of the few Jedi who could read the movements of her lekku. While on Devaron to investigate Senator Vien'sai'malloc's part in the etsablishment of a Separatist base on the planet, Aayla was confronted by Aurra Sing. Drawing on lessons she learned from Quinlan, Aayla defeated the bounty hunter by slicing off the antenna which sprouted from Aurra Sing's head. Without this connection, the bounty hunter was easily captured and sent to the prison facility on Oovo IV. Aayla returned to Coruscant with the rest of the Jedi forces on Devaron, and she finally reconciled her inner struggle over whether she was a Twi'lek or a Jedi Knight. She also returned Master J'Mikel's lightsaber to Xiann. While on Coruscant, Aayla Secura was elevated to the rank of Jedi Master. She later participated in the abortive attack on the droid foundries on Hypori, and was one of the few Jedi to survive the attack. Six months before the First Battle of Coruscant, Aayla accompanied Tholme and Quinlan to Anzat to determine what Sora Bulq as doing on the planet. They followed his trail to Saleucami, where Aayla defeated Bok in combat before helping Quinlan defeat Sora Bulq and Tol Skorr. She was then diverted to Trigalis to locate Obi-Wan Kenobi during his search for Xist. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Aayla was dispatched to Felucia with her clone troopers, led by Commander Bly. However, when Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu, he sent out communications to the various clone commanders to execute Order 66. Upon hearing the order, Bly ordered his troops to open fire on Aayla Secura and Barriss Offee, utterly destroying the defenseless Jedi Masters. Imperial HoloVision later reported that Aayla Secura had been killed while trying to poison the water supply on Felucia, despite the fact that the act had been part of Shu Mai's escape plan. (OWS, SWT, DRKN, SWDB, ROP, J3, SWDB, RT, O, IS3, WOTC, RSOS, SWI87)

Secura, Lon
This Twi'lek male was the brother of Pol Secura. Lon and Pol Secura agreed to allow the Jedi master Tholme and his Padawan, Quinlan Vos, to land on Ryloth to investigate a felon they were tracking, several years before the Battle of Naboo. The Jedi, however, were forced to track a member of the Secura clan in connection with the criminal, who had been bringing endagered and interdicted creatured to Ryloth as exotic pets. When Quinlan discovered that a wampa had been brought to Ryloth as a guardian beast, the Secura brothers agreed to help Tholme identify the felon. Years later, after the death of his brother, Lon stood in a position to form a new head-clan to lead the Twi'leks. He met with unusual opposition from Ro Fenn, one of the head-clan members who served with Pol. Ro Fenn did not want to walk into the Bright Lands, as demanded by tradition, and hired Vilmahr Grahrk and a pair of Morgukai warriors to kidnap Lon's son, Nat. Lon Secura enlisted the help of Master Tholme and his apprentice, Aayla Secura, in recovering his son. Lon was surprised to learn that Aayla was his neice, as well as a Jedi. Lon was later forced by Kh'aris Fenn to acceded to the other Twi'lek's demands, in order to save his son's life. Lon believed that the Jedi Knights had failed him, until Vilmahr Grahrk arrived with a message of his son's safety. He then met in secret with the leaders of the other Twi'lek clans, and together they agreed to exile both Ro Fenn and Kh'aris Fenn to the Bright Lands. (ROP)

Secura, Nat
A Twi'lek descendant of the Secura Twi'lek clan, Nat Secura the son of Lon Secura. He was the younger of Lon's two sons, but his brother Van died suddenly. It left Nat the prime heir to the Secura clan's leadership. Nat was kidnapped several years after the Battle of Naboo, as part of a plot by Ro Fenn to maintain his stature among the Twi'leks, despite the law which required his death. The Morgukai warriors Tsyr and Bok took him, but they were pursued by the Jedi Master Tholme and his apprentice, Aayla Secura. Years later, Nat found himself under the control of Bib Fortuna, just before Jabba the Hutt's death. When Jabba came to Ryloth to obtain Twi'leki slaves, he had burned buildings in Nat's city in order to force the Twi'leks out of them and into capture nets. Nat had been severly burned in the fires; his lekku had been completely burned off. Fortuna had discovered Nat while looting his house, and had "rescued" him. The Twi'leki survivors never forgot Nat's bravery, and Fortuna had planned to use Nat as his figurehead and as a rallying point. However, Jabba had grown tired of Nat's presence, and was planning on feeding him to the rancor. Fortuna intervened, again "rescuing" Nat, only to have Nat's brain surgically removed by the B'omarr monks and placed in a nutrient jar. Nat's mind railed against the loss of his body, but he eventually came to accept his place. Jabba then threw Nat's body - which had been kept alive by the monks' skillful surgery - to the rancor, seemingly ending Nat's life. Fortuna had planned to find a Twi'lek clone body for Nat's brain, a body that was not scarred and deformed like his original one. He told Nat this, and Nat decided that he wanted Han Solo's body. Fortuna thought that this would be a fitting revenge against Solo, and kept the plan in his mind. However, the death of Jabba and the monks' revenge against Fortuna left both of them disembodied. (TJP, ROP)

Secura, Pol
This blue-skinned Twi'lek male was Aayla Secura's uncle, and was a member of the Head Clan which controlled Ryloth during the years following the Battle of Naboo. After both Aayla and her teacher, Quinlan Vos, traveled to Ryloth to investigate the development of glitteryll, he was forced by a mysterious patron to eliminate their opposition. This patron, later revealed to by the Twi'lek Kh'aris, forced Pol Secura to accede to his demands, on the threat of death if the production of glitteryll was not protected. Pol Secura had used the financial rewards of glitteryll to ensure his position of power, but he also realized that the death of any member of the Head Clan would mean his own death. Pol arranged for both Jedi to have their memories' erased, then dumped on separate planets, in order to curtail their investigation. Unfortunately, Quinlan managed to survive his exile to Nar Shaddaa and returned to Ryloth to continue the investigation. When Asante' Vos nearly killed Quinlan in the ryll caves, she revealed that it had been herself and Pol Secura who fed Quinlan and Aayla an overdose of glitteryll to erase their memories. Their plan had been to do away with the Jedi without killing them, thereby clearing the way to continue production of glitteryll. After Asante's death, Quinlan sought out Pol to confront him about Aayla's whereabouts. Pol admitted that Aayla was a member of his own harem, where he could keep an eye on her. He also admitted that his patron was Chom Frey Kaa. When Quinlan tried to kill Pol for his treachery, Aayla tried to intervene. Her limited command of the Force caused Pol to fall from a ledge to his death. (SWT, DRKN, ROP)

Secura, Van
This Twi'lek male was the older son of Lon Secura. He was being groomed to succeed Lon as the clan's patriarch when died suddenly, leaving Van's younger brother, Nat, the clan's heir. (ROP)

Secure A-3
see Secure-A3 (AEG)

Secure Blue
This was the Imperial code phrase which indicated a change in the modulation of communications equipment, especially after equipment was stolen or captured. Secure Blue indicated a heightened level of encryption, in order to prevent the enemy from using stormtrooper helmets to intercept transmissions. (TG)

Secure Passage Seminar
This meeting of various paramilitary organizations and key members of the Alliance military took place on Dlor 3, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The goal of the seminar was to reach some kind of agreement on the usage of hyperspace travel routes that wound through specific territories in the galaxy, with the Alliance hoping to gain access to those parts of the galaxy that were not yet part of the Galactic Empire. (AIR, OWS)

Secure Systems
This small manufacturer of home security systems was one of the first to take advantage of laser paintings in their systems, using the artwork to disguise laser-based motion detection and locking systems. (LJ9)

Secure Transmission Facility
This was the name used to describe a number of communications centers that were maintained by the Secure Transmission System within the Cularin System, and that were specifically set up to allow for secure, point-to-point transmissions of information. These facilities provided clients with heavy encryption and security, ensuring that any communication between parties was kept private and uninterrupted. (AYS)

Secure Transmission System
This corporation established a network of Secure Transmission Facilities throughout the Cularin System, during the final decades of the Old Republic, to provide corporate, government, and military agencies with secure transmission mechanisms. The STS maintained its own security force, which regularly monitored the transmission sites and ensured that they were not compromised. Any entity wishing to use a Secure Transmission Facility could do so by paying the appropriate fees, but they were bound by the regulations that the STS laid down for the usage of the facilities. The primary regulation was that any data transmitted across their network had to be accurate and trustworthy. Falsification of data between entities was considered a crime, and could be punished by law. (AYS)

Secure-A3
This was a top-of-the-line military comlink, produced by Naboo Technologies during the last decades of the Old Republic. The rod-shaped Secure-A3 had a large grip which housed the primary electronics and power cell, with a thin microphone extending from the top. (AEG)

SecuriCo
Based in the Indellian System, this manfuacturer produced security systems to major installations. They were best known for creating the seven security locks which protected the computer core of Cloud City. (CCC)

SecuriDex
This massive datafile was developed and maintained by the Alliance to Restore the Republic, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The SecuriDex contained information on those beings who were deemed to be working "against the interests and/or benefit of Alliance operations and/or security." (AIR, OWS)

SecuriTech
Manufacturers of certain Corporate Sector Authority patrol vehicles, such as the Espo Walker. (CSA)

Security Acts
This was the generic term used to describe the various amendments to the Constitution of the Old Republic that were ratified during the Clone Wars. Ostensibly, all the Security Acts were meant to achieve was the consolidation of certain powers in the office of the Supreme Chancellor, and only for the duration of the war, in order to ensure the safety of the Republic and its citizens. The Core Worlds Security Act was the first of these actions, and was followed by a steady stream of amendments that many Loyalists feared were giving Chancellor Palpatine too much power. They also - correctly - feared that Palpatine would not relinquish these new powers once the war was over. (E3N)

Security and Enforcement Act
This was one of many pieces of legislation that were promoted during the height of the Clone Wars, and ultimately supported by Chancellor Palpatine. The Security and Enforcement Act wwas created to provide the Chancellor with the ability to restructure military forces to ensure the protection of those individuals deemed vital to the survival of the Republic, including the Chancellor himself. The Senate initially voted to table any discussion on the Act during the Battle of Jabiim, but a pirate attack on Bail Organa's transport ship prompted Chancellor Palpatine to restart negotiation on the Act. Organa vowed to fight against it, but found himself powerless to do so. The Act was eventually passed in the wake of the destruction of the Star of Iskin and the death of Finis Valorum, providing Palpatine with even more control. However, once it was enacted, the Security and Enforcement Act only served to embolden the pirates who had grown more prevalent. Because the Act allowed for the utter destruction of pirates and other criminals, it also gave these criminals the right and opportunity to fight back. Many Jedi Knights died in skirmishes with pirates who believed that they had every right to defend themselves. (RDE)

Security and Intelligence Council
This branch of the Galactic Alliance Senate oversaw the various activities that were involved to maintain the safety and security of the Galactic Alliance as a whole. Derived from the New Republic's Council of Security and Intelligence, this body was originally charged with ensuring safety on a galactic scale. However, during Thrackan Sal-Solo's bid for Corellian independence some ten years after the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, Chief of State Cal Omas gave the council emergency powers that allowed the council to handle matters of public safety on Coruscant. Although ostensibly to protect the citizens of the capital planet from Corellian terrorists, the move allowed the Senate to authorize use of military assets against civilian targets. (LF2)

Security and Operations File
Known as a SOF, this was a document that was maintained by the Imperial Intelligence agents at a Sector Plexus node, and contained the current information about an Intelligence agent in the field. A SOF was used to verify that an agent was on legitimate business, as it contained the agent's most current PSEG data, allowing Sector Plexus agents to quickly determine whether an agent was active or out of date. (ISB)

Security Blade
This was a form of security system bypass device that could be used to unlock a secure portal. Depending on the type of lock, the security blade could be passed in front the locking mechanism or slipped inside to make contact with the internal components. (LF2)

Security Case
A small, hard case that was attached to its holder's clothing, the security case cannot be forcefully removed without administering a neuroparalysis charge to the individual trying to steal it. The case attaches to the clothing by a thin wire and a small clip. If the wire was broken or if special contacts in the clip were activated by its removal, the case delivers its neuroparalytic charge. The case was also equipped with a locking mechanism, in case the felon was able to withstand the charge. The case also had a hidden safety mechanism that can be activated by its owner, disabling the charge. (HSR)

Security Collar
Although ostensibly manufactured to police forces as a way to restrain prisoners, this Thalassian device was sold to slavers and other criminal organizations. It was similar in virtually every respect to a standard slaving collar, and was formed from a durasteel collar which was attached to a heavy chain and a magnalock. (AEG)

Security Committee
This group of the Galactic Senate was formed from the members of the Loyalist Committee, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, after Chancellor Palpatine determined that the security of Coruscant and the Republic were taking prcedence over trying to sway other Senators and planets to remain with the Republic. Senator Bail Organa was chosen to lead the committee by Palpatine himself, although his early tenure was filled by marked absences when he accompanied Obi-Wan Kenobi to Zigoola. (CWWS)

Security Corps
see Surveillance and Security Corps (LJ10)

Security Council
This Senatorial council was one of the many branches of the New Republic government formed after the dissolution of the Provisional Council. The Security Council remained part of the governmental structure after the formation of the Galactic Alliance, although it was relegated to a position of minimal impact after Cal Omas was supplanted by Cha Niathal and Jacen Solo. The operations of the Security Council were cut back to quarterly meetings, led by Senator G'vli G'Sil. (SOL, LF8)

Security Decryption Interface
This was the standard droid security-breaking system available during the decades leading up to the Great Sith War, until Toshan Gant began producing superior technology for the Old Republic. The use of the decryption interface required additional programming, and allowed a droid to bypass most security systems. (KOTOR)

Security Domination Interface
This device was developed by Toshan Gant as a superior replacement for the Security Decryption Interface that was available some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Like its predecessor, the Security Domination Interface required a droid with additional programing to work, and allowed the droid to break into computer-based security systems. (KOTOR)

Security Field
This was a generic term used to describe any defensive energy field that was used to enclose and protect an area from fire, or to limit the flight path of a starship. (COTF)

Security Guard
This division of the Royal Naboo Security Force was considered to be a standing infantry, and was charged with protecting the citizens of Naboo. The 6,000 men and women of the Security Guard all had experience offplanet, and were sometimes charged with training members of the royal family and the Naboo government. Members of the Security Guard were distinguished by their brown and yellow body armor and uniform. (SON, CVD)

Security Guides
This branch of the Keganite Enforcement Guides was charged with maintaining civilian order in the Teaching Circle. (FFT)

Security I
This was one of three Nebulon-B escort frigates assigned by the Empire to protect the replenishment fleet which contained the Black Ice. (BI)

Security Interface Tool
This specialized computer interface device was developed for the Old Republic by Toshan Gant, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. When attached to a droid with special programming, the interface tool provided a way to bypass security systems of all kinds. (KOTOR)

Security Management Control
This was the name of the guardian force established by Roy Teda to protect his dictatorship on the planet Romin, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (JQ8)

Security Officer Corps
This branch of the Royal Naboo Security Force was made up of the only full-time soldiers in the Naboo military. Roughly 1,000 men and women made up to the Security Officer Corps, and they were responsible commanding the various soldiers and members of the military. (SON)

Security Police
The long arm of the law within the Corporate Sector, these law enforcement officers - Espos, for short - had no well-defined set of laws to uphold. Instead, they reacted to the edicts of the Corporate Sector Authority. They wore distinctive brown uniforms, and acted with impunity throughout the entire Corporate Sector. Many of the individuals who were hired to fill the ranks of the Security Police were recruits from all corners of the galaxy. Many of the meanest and most ruthless beings were given a uniform, including some of the galaxy's most dangerous terrorists and convicts. The more deviant of these officers were "re-educated" through intense brainwashing sessions, which served to eliminate their more aberrent behaviors while reinforcing their innate cruelty. (HSE, CSA)

Security S-5
This was another name for the S-5 heavy blaster used by the Security Officer Corps of Naboo, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SWI109)

Security Spike
This was a speciallized tool used to defeat security systems. When connected to a locking mechanism or other security measure, the security spike created electronic interference in the lock. This interference essentially shorted the system, unlocking the system and allowing access. (KOTOR)

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

Security Tower
A detention area on Cloud City. (E5)

Seda, Myn
This was a noted member of Chagrian history. (UANT)

Seddwia
This small Twi'lek child was among the younglings who were being trained at a remote Jedi facility on Bogg 3, when the Clone Wars came to an end and Order 66 was executed by Chancellor Palpatine. Master Chance Piru and Master K'Kruhk whisked the children off to escape the clones, but their ship crashlanded on another world. When the group was discovered by Lumbra and his crew, Seddwia tried to prevent the criminals from taking the drive system from the Jedi starship. Her impulsive attack forced Master Piru to reveal that they were Jedi, prompting Lumbra and his thugs to take them prisoner, in hopes of claiming the bounties on their heads. (DT2)

Sedesia
This harsh, tundra-covered world was located in the Mid Rim. Sedesia was noted for its 45-degree axial tilt, which caused wild weather patterns to sweep across its surface. Its heavy gravity prohibited the use of repulsorlift ground vehicles. The humans that inhabit the planet were tough and reclusive, but were not resistant to the Imperial-engineered plague that was led loose on the planet. There were rumors that the Empire poisoned the world to quell its pro-Alliance stance. Following the plague, the remaining humans swore their allegiance to the Alliance and openly defied the Empire. The average day on Sedesia lasted 20 standard hours. Its year lasted 220 local days. (SWJ6)

Sedeya, Reye
This young man was a native of the planet Stassia, during the height of the New Order. Known as a smalltime scam artist, Sedeya was targeted for investigation after a string of winning bets on the Ringer tournaments. Reye's mother died when he was a child, and his father plunged himself into his farming work, so Reye was raised by a nanny droid. He found that he had a gift for picking the winning bet in most gambling games, which was based on a level of Force sensitivity and helped him make a meager living. During one of the Sweepstakes Riner tournaments, Reye was followed by Zeck Tambell, who had a feeling that Reye was innocent, but wanted to link the young man to Aalia- Duu-lang. After Reye refused to help the crimelord out, she was arrested by Tambell. (SWJ6)

Sedran, Yudrish
This Chalactan served his homeworld as a Senator in the Old Republic's Galactic Senate, during the years leading up the Clone Wars. Senator Sedran opposed the Military Creation Act, mainly due to the influence of Jedi Master Depa Billaba. (HNN5)

Sedratis City
This city was home base of the gladiator walker team known as Demelza's Destructors. (GFT)

Sedrellium
This valuable ore was often found in the shells of Andoan mineral-fish. (COG)

Sedri
A planet which was home to the communal organism known as the Golden Sun, Sedri was completely covered by shallow oceans. It was also home to the Sedrian race, who have built wonderful underwater cities. The Empire researched gravity well projectors on this world, after an Imperial scout ship lost its hyperdrive inhibitor in the vicinity of the planet. The ship's systems were merely shorted out by the presence of the Golden Sun, and the scout limped home and recorded the existence of the planet. Shortly afterward, the Alliance managed to steal the plans and work on them with the Sedrians. The Golden Sun's glow filled the oceans with a soft glow, and the planet had a golden glow when viewed from space. The combination of the glow and the gravity anomalies caused by the Golden Sun force many shipboard navigation computers to register Sedri as a small star, forcing ships out of hyperspace in its vicinity. (GG4, DESB, BGS)

Sedrian
Natives of the planet Sedri, the Sedrians were a race of sleek, aquatic mammals who worship the Golden Sun. They were 3-meter long creatures with seal-like features, including a thick coat of slick fur. They appear humanoid from the torso up, but have the lower body and tail flukes of a seal. They prefer to live in the water, but must breath air to survive. While they have gills, Sedrians also have lungs, and scientists aren't sure why one method of breathing hasn't been lost over the generations. They have constructed several underwater cities, like Fitsay, and appoint a high priest to guard the entrance to the cave of the Golden Sun. Very little was known about the Sedrians history or biology, because the energy shadow given off by the Golden Sun makes hyperspacial travel difficult near Sedri, so most ships simply don't get too near it. Their language was filled with barks and clicks, although they can master the Basic tongue with minimal problems. Their voices were quite loud, making it easy for Sedrians to hear each other underwater. (GG4, BGS)

SedriMotors Limited
A Sedrian company which manufactured various aquatic transports. They aligned themselves with the Alliance after Alliance agents sved the Sedrian race from extinction. They adopted the current technologies, and began creating their own designs. SedriMotors had since developed some of their own new technologies, such as water-driven drives and hover propulsion systems. (DESB, EGV)

Sedriss
Sedriss was an enhanced human who studied the Dark Side of the Force under Emperor Palpatine, and was later appointed one of the reborn Emperor's Executors. Before turning to the Dark Side, Sedriss had been recruited by the Imperial military but turned down because of his insolence and lack of respect for authority. Palpatine, however, sensed the innate evil in Sedriss, and gave Sedriss the chance to kill him if he could. Sedriss failed utterly, but Palpatine demanded his complete loyalty or else he would be killed. Sedriss agreed to become Palpatine's agent, realizing that the Emperor was a true superior.

He was a massive human with spiked hair, and was unfailingly loyal to Palpatine. His training included lessons in the use of the Dark Side of the Force, but Sedriss' connection to the Force was too weak to allow him to gain much power. Even after the Emperor's death at Endor, Sedriss journeyed to Byss to await his master's return. His loyalty was rewarded years later when he became the first Executor, and the leader of the Dark Side Elite. In this capacity, Sedriss was the primary force behind restoring the Empire via Operation Shadow Hand. He gave the orders that launched the operation following the reborn Emperor's death. When Palpatine ordered him to detain Luke Skywalker on Ossus, Sedriss and Vill Goir both flew there in the Imperial Hunter Scourge One. Unfortunately for Sedriss, the ancient Jedi Master Ood Bnar captured him and reduced Sedriss to microscopic bits in an explosion of colliding Force energies. (DE2, DSSB, NEGC, EGF)

Seducer Plant
A carnivorous plant native to the planet F'tral, they use a sweet-smelling nectar to attract small animals to their location. A mass of vines and stems, the seducer plant waits until the animal was entangled before using the vines to strangle the animal. The seducer plant then draws the animal into its center and slowly digests it. (GG4)

See
This was a species of scalefish found in the waters of the planet Naboo. These fish were distinguished by their binocular vision, having both eyes located on the front of their blunt heads. Their long, thin bodies were dominated by their stomachs, which could distend to accommodate several large prey. Males and females of the species were distinguished by their unique coloration, with the males having darker yellows and greens while the females were lighter. (IG1, WSW)

See fah luto eetheen
This Huttese word translated roughly into Basic as "fifteen percent", although it was unclear if this referred to the number fifteen in Huttese or Basic. (E4, GPB)

See fah luto twentee
This Huttese word translated roughly into Basic as "twenty percent", although it was unclear if this referred to the number twenty in Huttese or Basic. (E4, GPB)

Seebo Sauce
This was a favored food sauce of Corpo the Hutt. (T7)

Seed Pistol
This was an unusual weapon, produced on the planet Manda. (SWDB)

Seed World
This was a term used by the ancient Jedi Knights to describe a planet that was capable of supporting life. Seed worlds were divided into two types: life-giving, which included planets with oceanic, grassland, or arboreal environments; and death-giving, which included planets with desert, volcanic, or barren environments. (KOTOR)

Seedar, Genna
This woman served as a medical officer aboard the New Republic starship FarStar during its hunt for Moff Sarne. Genna was the last surviving member of the resistance on Kal'Shebbol, after Sarne wiped out any opposition to his rule. A shy woman, Genna was nonetheless brave and selfless in battle, traits which won her the respect of her former freedom fighters and the FarStar's crew. She was uncomfortable with the reactions of the crew to the prolonged search through the Kathol Rift, and her fears were realized when a mutiny ensued. (DARK, KR)

Seedbread
This was a type of small, seed-covered bread that could be consumed as a snack. (RCTC)

Seedcracker
This was a species of small bird, native to the planet Ansion. (APS)

Seed-disk
This was the second phase of life for a seed-partner, after it was forged by the Langhesi with sky fire lightning. The seed-partner, suddenly energized by the lightning, split open its casing and emerged as a flatten, disk-shaped version of itself. These seed-disks were then shaped around a metal framework and imbedded with various devices to form Sekotan technology. In this way, Sekotan starships were created. Sometimes, a seed-partner will not survive the forging into a seed-disk. In this case, the master to whom the seed-partner had bonded was sent away from Zonama Sekot. When they do survive, they reconnect with the mind of their master and present him with a virtual catalog of the shapes they could take during the annealing process. The buyer had but to envision a certain part or curve, and the shaping of the Jentari would do the rest. (RP)

Seed-partner
This was the name of the unusual creature which was later formed into a Sekotan starship. Seed-partners resembled large cockle-burrs, about the size of a child's head and covered with short, hooked spikes which it used to move about and cling to another being. In the Uniting Day ceremony, seed-partners were introduced to a prospective starship owner. If one or more seed-partners chooses the buyer, then a starship can be formed for them. If the buyer was rejected, he was no longer allowed to bond with a seed-partner. Until their were allowed to evolve, seed-partners live with their new masters day and night, attuning their biorythms to those of the buyer. It was rumored that seed-partners were formed from the Potentium. On average, one to three seed-partners joined with a buyer at any given time, then were physically melded together to form the starship. As they matured, the seed-partners split out of their husks, revealing whitish flesh beneath. Several groups of spikes merged with one another to form small three-fingered hands, and they elongated so that each seed-partner had four short legs. After the matured, seed-partners were taken with their masters to the forging pits of the Langhesi, where they were struck by sky fire lightning and quickened. This energized the seed-partners, and the Langhesi forged them into new shapes. These new shapes were known as seed-disks. (RP)

Seedship
This was the term used to describe a Yuuzhan Vong ship dedicated to carrying biological material to a new planet. Once at the planet, the seedship disgorged its cargo, initiating the terraformation of the planet into a world better suited to the Yuuzhan Vong physiology. After the Battle of Coruscant, the Yuuzhan Vong used a highly specialized seedship to transport several immanture dhuryams to the planet. The interior of the seedship was reconfigured to allow the dhuryams to compete with each other in the management of their environment. Once a dhuryam had defeated its brethren, it was allowed to take control of the seedship. It then began breaking the seedship up into a huge number of smaller seedships, which carried biological samples to all parts of the planet to be seeded. This gave the dhuryam a link to all the other seedships, allowing it to coordinate the dispersal of biological materials to specific locations, thereby ensuring a complete ecosystem would be formed on the planet. (EL2, T)

Seef
This Yuuzhan Vong female served aboard the Sunulok as Tsavong Lah's attendant during the aliens' invasion of the galaxy. (BP)

Seefo
When translated into Basic, this Ewok verb meant "to hurt." (GPB)

Seefor
This was the nickname used by the ARC trooper designated CT-12/74, during the height of the Clone Wars. Seefor helped Kit Fisto and Nate train the commandos of the Desert Wind terrorist group, and was among the survivors who managed to escape their lair when Asajj Ventress sent a group of infiltration droids to destroy them. When Nate's body was not recovered, they feared that Nate had been killed, or had broken the Code and betrayed them all in the first place. (TCD)

Seeg
This Rodian starship racer was a rival of Siro Simito. He was also Simito's friend, and their public rivalry was carefully cultivated to enhance the popularity of their sport. Their staged fights always boosted their ratings. (CRO)

Seeg
When translated into Basic, this Ewok word meant "on." (GPB)

Seegree
This Mon Calamari was the administrator of Foamwander City, and served on the Mon Calamari Council during the height of the New Order. She was believed to have been kidnapped by Imperial forces that had established a whaladon processing facility in the Seascape Mountains, but it was later revealed that she had, in fact, defected to the Empire. (GORW)

Seeing Without Looking
This was one of the many surveillance skills that was taught to the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. The idea behind seeing without looking was to acquire knowledge about one's surroundings without allowing observers to notice that one was actually doing it. Thus, a Jedi could appear to be taking a simple walk down a street, but their senses were busy gathering in details and facts about the people and locations they saw. (JQ8)

Seek
A native of the planet Tatooine, Seek was one of young slaves who grew up in Mos Espa during the years prior to the Battle of Naboo. A year older than Anakin Skywalker, Seek was a bully and something of a pessimist, and believed that Anakin would never get his homemade podrace to fly. (E1, IS1, SWDB)

Seeker
A type of remote used for surveillance activities, seekers were developed to assist law enforcement agencies in tracking down criminals. A seeker could be programmed to search out and immobilze a specific target, but in general they were only moderately successful in their missions. Widespread use of seekers diminished during the New Order, although many backwater law enforcement agencies embraced them. (E4, GG11)

Seeker
This was the brand name of Arakyd's AS-M12 messenger droid. (SESB)

Seeker
This Twi'lek operated the Junkard scrap and salvage caverns at the Kala'uun Starport, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He had been cast out of his own clan because he lacked the instincts to become a warrior, instead preferring to tinker with all sorts of machinery. After being befriended by Lo'baan while wandering the warrens of Kala'uun, Seeker helped the old Twi'lek establish the Junkard. Seeker inherited the Junkard upon Lo'baan's death. (PSPG)

Seeker
This Trade Federation battleship was part of Special Task Force One, the group that was dispatched to intercept Outbound Flight and eliminate it, some five years before the onset of the Clone Wars. When the task force was intercepted by the Chiss forces under the command of Field Commander Thrawn, Vicelord Siv Kav ordered the Seeker to launch half of its droid starfighters, after seeing Thrawn recall his forces when they were met with droid starfighters. Unknown to Kav, however, was that Thrawn was continually feinting in order to crack the transmission codes used to control the droid starfighters. Once he had the command codes extracted, Thrawn was able to take control of the droid starfighters and use them in attacks against the Federation's own vessles. The Seeker and its sister ships were swiftly eliminated, and only the flagship Darkvenge was spared by Thrawn. (OF)

Seeker
This YT-1300 freighter was one of the many ships that were maintained by the Jedi Knights of the Almas Academy, during the final decades of the Old Republic. The modified freighter could be operated by a crew of two, and had enough room for up to six passengers and 100 metric tons of cargo. In keeping with the tenets of the Jedi, a single, turret-mounted laser cannon provided the Seeker with minimal protection from pirates. (AYS, JCT2)

Seeker Cub
This was the name of Captain Stitar's scout ship. In reality, Stitar was the smuggler known as Starter, and the Seeker Cub was a false identity for Starter's beat-up X-Wing. (SWJ4)

Seeker Droid
see Prowler 1000 (OWS, SWI81)

Seeker Missile
This was the generic term used to describe an Imperially-developed projectile weapon that could locate a target and hone in on it with a relentlessness that rivalled many organic predators. Although the seeker missile was necessarily slow to allow it to track its target, it more than made up for this apparent defect by carrying enough detonite to destroy anything it encountered. (NEGD)

Seeker Sea
This was the smaller of two seas found on the planet Bacrana. (FBS)

Seeker Torpedo
Any self-propelled detonation device which can be targetted ahead of time and, when released, will track its target until it can impact with it. (TOJ)

Seeker Transport
This was the name used by Arakyd for its civilian hyperspace message pod, designed to transport the AS-M12 Seeker messenger droid. It was based on the hyperspace pod used for the Viper series of military probe droids. Because they were available on the open market, and because the interference with a Seeker Transport was punishable by law, many crimelords used these vehicles to transport illegal goods. (FTD)

Seeker, The
This was another name for the Lesser Mark of Illumination. (SHPT)

Seekerbot
This was another name for a remote surveillance droid. Small seekerbot were often used to watch over doors and hallways. (MJEH)

Seeking Rail Detonator
This weapon was similar to a standard rail detonator, except that it was capable of firing projectiles that could home in on a target. This allowed the user to fire quite rapidly with minimal aiming, thereby ensuring a larger number of targets could be hit. (MOTS)

Seeks
This was the Gungan word for the number 6. (GPB)

Seela
This was the name used to describe those Aramandi who rejected the new interpretations of the Eeronon and accused these priests of lying to the populace. At the heart of the dissention was the Eeronon's prediction of other sentient life outside the Aramand Cluster, a prediction that had previously not existed in the Eeronon's teachings and only surfaced when the Lant Mining Corporation approached the Aramandi to discuss mining rights. The Seelas were allowed to live in uninhabited areas of the Aramand System, but religious persecution forced them onto undeveloped worlds within the Cluster. (FBS)

Seela
This was a common name given to Twi'lek females, and meant "dancer" in the Twi'leki language. (GCG)

Seelah
This dark-skinned woman was a Sith crystal hunter, during the era of the Great Hyperspace War. A former field medic, Seelah had borne a child with Devore Korsin, just prior to their rendezvous with the transport ship Omen. When the ship was discovered near Phaegon III by a Jedi starfighter, Commander Yaru Korsin was forced to make a blind jump into hyperspace. The ship was later dragged out of hyperspace when it passed near the planet Kesh, but it began to tear itself apart from the stress. Devore had ordered Seelah and their baby to leave in an escape pod, but the emergency systems had been damaged, and she was forced to find another escape route. She passed through the cargo hold, which was filled with Lignan crystals, and realized that the Omen was traveling over land. She made her way to the bridge to warn the Korsins, prompting Yaru to execute a bold plan to save the ship and land safely. They were able to open the ship's missile tubes, creating enough drag to slow it down, but not enough to prevent it from crashing into a mountain before coming to rest. As the survivors emerged from the wreckage, they found themselves cut off from the mainland, with sheer cliffs on one side of the mountain leading to the ocean, and rugged slopes on the other side, also leading to the ocean. Seelah and the other Sith who supported Devore continued to focus their anger on Yaru Korsin, a situation that was only heightened when Yaru reported that Devore had fallen to his death while trying to salvage equipment from the Omen. Seelah recognized that Yaru had probably pushed his half-brother to his death, but she was forced to accept Yaru's command of the survivors.

Although the Sith survived the crash, they were utterly isolated, with no way of calling for help or finding sustenance. Their situation changed when Adari Vaal discovered the location of the Omen, after seeing the plume of fire and smoke it had created when it crashed. Adari agreed to help get the Sith to the mainland, where the Sith were greeted as gods known as the Skyborn. Because Seelah and Yaru were deemed to be the leaders of the Sith, they were allowed to live in the home of Izri Dazh, the elderly leader of the Neshtovar. (LTS1)

Seelah, Jedwar
This explorer and scout worked out of Mos Espa, on the planet Tatooine, during the last decades of the Old Republic, and attended the Boonta Eve Classic podrace which was won by Anakin Skywalker. (YJC6)

Seely
This Twi'leki female met Drek Drednar in the Darlonn Sector, and agreed to serve as a lieutenant in his pirate crew. She was a former slaver who stowed away aboard the Sable III, and later became a gifted hand-to-hand fighter. (SWJ5)

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

Seendar
This Togorian was taken from his homeworld of Togoria by a group of mercenaries which eventually accepted him into their ranks. He enjoyed the excitement and adventure of the mercenary life, but found that he was uncomfortable around the technology of the galaxy. He couldn't comprehend the various forms of technology. His mercenary band was invited to the planet Narg to help train the local police force, but all non-humans in the group were relieved of their duties upon arrival. Seendar was stranded on the planet, where he roamed the streets around the Free Access Grill. He was one of the few individuals in the city of Grig allowed to carry a personal weapon, only because the local constabulary was afraid to confront him. (TA)

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

Seeno
One of Antar Roat's aides. (WG)

Seep, Brooboo
This Gungan bongo racer was one of the most popular racers on the circuit, in the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He was noticeable by his flambouyant purple, orange, and yellow racing attire. Just before the Bongo Rally, Seep was attacked by one of Captain Swagg's droids and knocked unconscious. The droid then stole his clothing in order to move about unnoticed. (E1A12)

Seep, Brooboo
This Gungan was one of the best bongo racers of his generation, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Even after the battle, when bongo racing became more popular, Brooboo continued to race, bringing fans from the older generatioans as well as the Rep Council. He piloted a custom-grown, purple monobubble bongo. Several years after the Battle of Naboo, Brooboo Seep won the Otoh Gunga Challenge when Nen Neb Goodrow and Spleed Nukkels both tried to invert their bongos in an effort to bypass him. Unfortunately for the other racers, they attempted the maneuver at exactly the same time. The resulting collision destroyed both their bongos, and Brooboo barely managed to maintain control of his own bongo before reaching the finish line. (GMR4)

Seepana
This term from the Bocce langauge translated into Basic as "scope". (GPB)

Seeqov
This was one of the many Vratix hive-clans that allied with the Ashern, during the years of Thyferran history known as the Thriving Season. (PH)

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

Seer of the Temple
This alien, a native of the planet Gap Nine, fought against Colonel Traft and the Imperials who occupied the planet. The Seer was more than happy to receive assistance from the Alliance in deposing Traft and retaking their planet. (SWJ7)

Seerdon, Kohl
This Imperial Moff was was a military officer in the Old Republic. He was placed in command of the Chandrila Defense Fleet, replacing Hiram Drayson, after the passage of Emegerncy Amendment 121b during the height of the Clone Wars. Years later, Seerdon was one of the first individuals to recognize the true importance of bacta to the Alliance. Many Imperial officers and leaders felt that the control of arms and foodstuffs would eventually choke out the Alliance, while Seerdon realized that the Alliance would keep on fighting until it could no longer sustain itself. He felt that, in order to eliminate the Alliance's forces, the Empire would have to control bacta. Keeping the healing fluid from the Alliance would mean that it couldn't restore its wounded troops, thereby reducing its numbers and eliminating resistance. He sought to control the world of Thyferra, but was kept from achieving his goals by the combined efforts of Rogue Squadron and the Alliance. (RSG, SWI71)

Seerdon, Maximillian
This man served as member of the Imperial Security Bureau's Intelligence division, during the height of the New Order. In the months following the Battle of Yavin, Commander Seerdon was assigned to assess the myriad of criminal threats to the Empire's stability. His report, put together with the help of various field agents, contained information on prominent individuals, syndicates and organizations, and locations where crime was running rampant. (SWI89, OWS)

Seerna
This was a common name among the Snivvian race. (UANT)

Seertay, Anna
This woman served the Alliance military forces as a Colonel, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. Colonel Seertay died with her Marines in the Cobolt Offensive, and was later recommended for posthumous promotion and commendation by General Crix Madine. (RASB, OWS)

Seetee
This domestic droid was owned by Imperial Governor Tork Winger. (SWJ2)

See-Threepio
This was the common nickname used to describe the protocol droid designated C-3PO. This name was shortened to simply Threepio by those closest to the droid. (E4, TGD)

SeeVee
This was the nickname of Platt Okeefe's ASP-7 labor droid, used aboard the Last Chance. It had a limited vocabulary, and could only respond with "affirmative" or "negative" to any question. (SESB)

Seezar's Planet

Seftek
This planet, located in the Commonality of the Outer Rim Territories, was the home of a lost colony of Selonians. (GORW)

Seggor
This large, oceanic predator was native to the planet Mon Calamari. It was revered by the Quarren for its strength. (GCG)

Seggor
This name was commonly given to Quarren males, and referred to a strong, ocean predator that was native to the planet Calamari. (GCG)

Segmi
This race of builders was created by DarkStryder, after it banished the Charr Ontee from its fortress. Essentially huge worms, the Segmi were developed to exude a resinous substance that they wove into strong forms that supported the DarkStryder's fortress. Over the centuries, after DarkStryder no longer desired further modifications to its lair, the Segmi wandered off and formed their own civilization, and they learned to use the Ta-Ree energy that permeated the planet Kathol. DarkStryder later recaptured a segment of the Segmi population for use in developing new parts of its fortress. (E)

Segnor's Loop
This was the name of a starship maneuver in which an attacking ship made a quick run away from its target before doubling back for a second pass. (TFNR, SSOG)

Segue
This New Republic shuttle was loaned to Major Showolter, to transport the Yuuzhan Vong priestes Elan to Wayland. (HT)

Sehvorah
This minor crimelord was, at one time, deeply in debt due to a huge gambling habit he established in the Core Worlds. Sehvorah fled to the Outer Rim and started over, eventually becoming the chief executive officer of the Droxian Traders League. He caught the eye of Dunstain Manliss, but Manliss's son Artur moved to secure Sehvorah's allegiance. Many believe that the Droxian Traders League was responsible for the death of Dunstain Manliss, but others believe Artur agreed to pay off Sehvorah's gambling debts in return for the removal of Dunstain. Sehvorah recognized a good thing when he saw it, and agreed to join the Mandroxan cartel in order to reap the benefits of trafficking spice. (GG11)

Sei
This was one of the most common female names among the Corellians. (GMR9)

Sei
One of the family names used by the Bothan people, it literally meant "magician" or "wizard", although its origins were unclear. (GCG, WOTC)

Seifax
This corporation was a dummy front for Loronar Corporation, during the early years of the New Republic. Based on the planet Antemerdias, Seifax manufactured shielded transport shells for use in constructing Loronar's Needle attack ships. This fact was discovered by the Chadra-Fan journalist Yarbolk Yemm. (POT, NEGW)

Seige of Ank Ki'Shor
This Galactic Civil War battle featured prominent use of the Y-Wing starfighter. (EGV)

Seige of Trasemene, The
This was one of the most famous historical battles of the Empire. It was at this battle that Grand Admiral Takel made a name for himself as a brilliant strategist, thanks in part to his addiction to glitterstim. (GFT, SWI66)

Seii, Akku
This elderly Anzat was a noted teacher in the arts of the assassin, and was once a mentor to Jedi Master Tholme, many years before the Clone Wars. Tholme returned to Anzat to speak with Akku Seii after he learned that Sora Bulq had been making regular trips to Anzat during the Clone Wars. Akku Seii refused to discuss the matter, as it was business between the Anzat and the Weequay. He forced Tholme to fight through a group of assassins to prove himself worthy of obtaining the knowledge. When Tholme defeated his opponents, Akku Seii revealed that the entire battle had simply been a training session for his students. He then told Tholme to leave Anzat, and that he would not help him in the matter. However, the fact that Akku Seii had been teaching several students at one time was an implicit message to Tholme: other teachers had been called away on other duty, ostensibly to train the Separatists in their assassin techniques. (RT)

Seikosha
This planet, located in the Breago System of the Borderlands Region, was an undeveloped jungle world at the outset of the New Republic. It had become something of a haven for criminals during the last years of the Empire, and the political wars which continued to rage after the Battle of Endor kept the Borderlands out of most people's minds. Seikosha was the homeworld of the Seikoshan race, and was constantly swept by violent thunderstorms and torrential rains. The average day on the planet lasted 28 standard hours, and its year lasted 422 local days. (POC)

Seikoshan
This alien race was native to the planet Seikosha. They remained neutral during the Galactic Civil War, in part because their planet was located on the border betwen Imperial and Republic space. They were a primitive culture, and strove to remain so even when smugglers and criminals from the greater galaxy began coming to their homeworld to hide from justice. The average Seikoshan was a reed-thin humanoid with green skin and a small amount of black hair on their head. They have unblinking red eyes, and had a series of ridges running from the bridge of their noses to the top of their skulls. They preferred to live without technology, although they had a highly-developed society with excellent natural engineering skills. (POC)

Sei'lar, Asyr
This female Bothan was living in the Invisible Sector of the Coruscant underworld when Rogue Squadron infiltrated the planet prior to the New Republic's assault on it. She was a member of the Alien Combine, noticeable by her black pelt, which was punctuated by white splotches on her chest, head, and hands. She tried to come onto Gavin Darklighter, who rejected her. She labeled him a bigot, and brought him to the Combine for punishment. Asyr soon discovered that Gavin was simply scared, and was as understanding of alien species as any non-human. She was a graduate of the Bothan Military Academy, graduating a year behind Peshk Vri'syk. This training earned her the respect of the Rogues and the New Republic, and she was given a place in the squadron following the liberation of Coruscant. She and Gavin became romantically involved, but were discreet about it. She was watched by Borsk Fey'lya, who had hoped that Asyr would remain loyal to the Bothan political ideals and could provide potentially damaging information about the Rogues. She refused his demands, and remained loyal to the Squadron. When Asyr and Gavin made their relationship public and decided to adopt children, Fey'lya stepped in to block their efforts. He felt that Asyr wasn't behaving in a Bothan-enough fashion, and told her in no uncertain terms that any further dalliance with Gavin would have serious repercussions. She once again refused to accept Fey'lya's demands, but also realized that she and Gavin would be unable to have the life they wanted. She went on a rampage, flying beyond herself during the assaults on Liinade III and Corvis Minor Five, until her ship collided with an enemy fighter over Corvis Minor Five. Her loss came as a shock to Gavin and the Rogues, who mourned her deeply. However, Asyr herself managed to survive, having been rescued by the Errant Venture. She swore Booster Terrik, Mirax Terrik, and Iella Wessiri to secrecy, leaving the New Republic in the hope of bringing about changes to Bothan society by working undercover. (WG, KT, IR)

Seilith Music Charms
This ribbon-like device was used by jizz musicians as a form of good luck. The charms could be draped over an instrument or its stand, providing a visual experience to the music in addition to its sonic impact. (VD)

Sei'lya
This Bothan witnessed the destruction of a city on Kothlis by an 850.AA maintenance droid, which had been loaded with Arakyd Seeker droids. She fled the destruction to Elshandruu Pica, and offered a reward on Cynabar's Droid Datalog to any being who could provide verifiable evidence of the responsible party. (SWJ14)

Sei'nel, Fenn
This Bothan was a minor functionary who worked at the Bothan embassy on Ando, until he was found dead in an alleyway behind the Starfarers Club. Although the Bothan government claimed Sei'nel was merely a courier and blasted the local security force, Aqualish officials found no messaging technology on or near his body. (WOTC)

Seir, Tarr
see Seirr, Tarr (LEV)

Seirr, Tarr
This young Cerean male was a student of the Force during the height of the Clone Wars. As a youth in the Jedi Temple, Tarr Seirr idolized his fellow Cerean, Ki-Adi-Mundi, and was honored when the older Cerean Jedi turned over the watchman duties on Cerea to Tarr Seirr. Tarr Seirr took the role very seriously, and worked diligently to ensure that Cerea didn't fall to the Separatists. As the Clone Wars ground on, Tarr Seirr was forced to reluctantly leave Cerea and join the ranks of the Jedi Knights who were fighting the battles across the galaxy. Tarr Seirr accompanied Ki-Adi-Mundi to the remote planet Hypori, in an effort to destroy the droid foundries that had been discovered there by Daakman Barrek. However, General Grievous was too well-prepared for such an assault, and the task force was decimated before it reached the ground. Tarr Seirr was among the survivors who reached the planet's surface in the wreckage of their ships, but was among the first Jedi to be killed in battle against Grievous. (OWS, SWDB)

Seismic Tank
This immense, fifty-five-meter-tall repulsorlift vehicle was developed by Haor Chall Engineered for the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. In order to avoid legal entanglements, Haor Chall developed the tank under the guise of a mining vehicle that could penetrate a planet's crust and expose ores that were otherwise unreachable. First deployed into the field on Dantooine, the seismic tank used a huge battering ram as its primary weapon. When the tank's droid operators brought it onto the battlefield, they centered the tank on an enemy's location. Then, hovering some thirty meters over the target, the tank ejected a huge, cylindrical ram from its underbody, driving the ram into the ground. The ram itself was formed from a heavy metal core, and was guided by frictionless, magnetic impellors, giving it a huge amount of inertia. The resulting quake was similar to the effects of a bomb, but without the fallout potential. The magnetic impellors also prevented any backlash from the impact from reaching the main vehicle. From the point of impact, the ground rippled outward, tossing objects and beings aside or burying them in dirt and debris. (OWS, SWDB)

Seitia Prime
This planet was located near Rhamalai. (SWJ13)

Seito
One of the survivors of the Battle of Hoth, Seito was evacuated on the Bright Hope. A combat specialist, Seito was chosen by Toryn Farr to lead one of the groups which fled in an escape pod. (TBH)

Seka, Sheryc
This female Yarkora was one of the best-known smugglers of the Greater Javin, during the height of the New Order. If a being needed a hard-to-find piece of hardware, Sheryc Seka was the being to talk with, especially if one needed an unusual - and untraceable - weapon. She spent much of her career working with the Mon Calamari pirate Salmakk, in a mutually beneficial relationship. Salmakk often provided her with large shipments of weaponry, and in exchangem Sheryc "scrubbed" the weapons used by Salmakk's pirates so that they could not be traced to their source. This relationship continued for more than ten years, until Salmakk was eventually caught and arrested in connection with Figg Excavations' plans to break from the Mining Guild. After that, Sheryc kept to herself on Darlyn Boda for many years. When the Peace Brigade approached her about joining with the aYuuzhan Vong, Sheryc flatly refused. Unfortunately, the Peace Brigade then destroyed her operations as well as her credability with the criminal elements of the Greater Javin. To exact a measure of revenge, Sheryc began running weapons for the New Republic. (WOA34)

Sekct
This race of amphibious humanoids was native to the planet Marca. Their population was parthenogenic, with all members being female. Every two years, a mature Sekct can lay a single egg. However, only one of every two eggs ever hatches, because the genetic makeup of the Sekct often causes damaged embryoes. In theory, those Sekct which survive were genetic duplicates of their parent.. They have brown skin, ranging from muddy brown to tan, which lightens as they age. They were short in stature, but have a well-developed sense of honor and were excellent hunters. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the Sekct were in danger of being wiped out by the toxic waste-products of the Empire's hyperbaride plant located on Marca. The wastes were introducing devastating genetic changes, as well as killing the environment. A group of Alliance agents, forced to land on the planet when their ship hit a mine, helped the Sekct destroy the hyperbaride plant and oust the Empire from the planet. The Sekct were then allowed to restore their planet and their environment. One of the things which distinguished the Sekct were their two-jointed forelimbs, as each joint was capable of motion in two directions, giving the Sekct a very gangly appearance. They society was quite primitive by modern galactic standards. (POM)

Sekla, Lyn
This female Twi'lek tried to make a living as a dancer on the planet Taris, during the era of the Great Sith War. She auditioned for the Starlight Dancers just before the planet was destroyed by Darth Malak. (KOTOR)

Seko Cantina
This seedy cantina was located on the planet Ryloth, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SWT)

Sekolah, Bersin
This Ithorian once served as a scout during the Old Republic, but retired when Emperor Palpatine established the New Order. He retired to spend the rest of his life on Tasariq, where he studied the planet's ecology in the hope of finding a form of plant life that could help restore its atmosphere. He was frequently working in the field, and rarely returned to his home. His perseverence in trying to restore Tasariq earned hero status among the native Tasari, and he was adopted by a leading Tasari family to give him a place int heir society. (SWJ15)

Sekot
This was the Ferroan name for the living part of the planet Zonama Sekot. In reality, Sekot was a living entity in and of itself, and controlled life and death on the world. Sekot had been living in the system for billions of years, and claimed to have seen the formation of the triple-star system in which Zonama Sekot existed. Many Old Republic databases claim that the planet was simply called Sekot, a remnant of the Ferroan term. When Leor Hal first came to the planet, he discovered Sekot's presence, and believed that she was caretaker of the Living Force, as defined by the Potentium. The two established a deep, working relationship in which both worked to ensure Zonama Sekot's privacy and safety. Sekot agreed to provide Hal with information on how to form Sekotan starships, as long as Hal used all profits to purchase huge hyperdrive cores. In this way, they prepared the planet for entry into hyperspace, an extreme escape mechanism. It was during this time that Sekot also came to accept the tenets of the Potentium as facts. When Leor Hal died, Sekot maintained a hologram of him to give the Zonamans and illusion of continuity. When the planet was attacked by the Far Outsiders, Sekot was forced to use the Sekotan technology to kill them, something she deeply regretted. When Wilhuff Tarkin and Raith Sienar attacked Zonama Sekot in an effort to turn the planet over to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, Sekot appeared to Anakin Skywalker. The young Jedi padawan had traveled with Obi-Wan Kenobi to discover Vergere's whereabouts. Sekot could take many shapes, and often assumed the guise of Vergere herself to make Anakin more comfortable. Sekot revealed that she controlled all life on the planet, and used her powers to manipulate the weather as well as the positioning of the forests. In that way, Sekot was able to hide the large-scale development of planetary hyperdrives which were installed by the settlers of the planet. In the end, Zonama Sekot was unable to thwart Tarkin's assault, and Sekot was forced to take the planet into hyperspace in order to escape. It hid the planet in many places, each time finding conflict and destruction, until it settled in the Klasse Ephemora System. There it remained for many years, until it was discovered by Yuuzhan Vong Commander Ekh'm Val and Jedi Master Luke Sywalker almost at the same time. Sekot drove off the Yuuzhan Vong, but allowed the Jedi to land. Using a series of carefully orchestrated tests, Sekot tried to ascertain the true nature of the Jedis' visit. Only after it was satisfied that the Jedi truly meant it no harm did Sekot reveal itself, as the Fosh Vergere to Jacen Solo and as a young Anakin Skywalker to Luke. It explained many things about its life to Luke and Jacen, hinting that the presence of the Ferroans on Zonama might have precipitated its awakening. Having discovered the Jedi's desire for peace, Sekot agreed to accompany them back to the galaxy, in an effort to bring the war against the Yuuzhan Vong to a peaceful conclusion. However, the treacherous actions of Nom Anor nearly destroyed the planet. In order to avoid a deadly explosion, Sekot had to jump into hyperspace, thereby killing the incubator the Yuuzhan Vong had placed in hyperdrive vanes that moved the planet. Unable to reconcile its situation, Sekot retreated into itself, ignoring the ecological deterioration experienced by Zonama as the planet jumped in and out of hyperspace. Finally, after conferring with Master Skywalker, Sekot realized that it had to "fight without fighting" against the Yuuzhan Vong, and jumped to Coruscant to try and stall the final conflict that was about to occur. Sekot allowed its starships to be used for defense only during the battle, until it realized that Supreme Overlord Shimrra was planning to use the Alpha Red virus against it. Rather than fighting back, Sekot simply used the natural gravitic abilities of Zonama to pull the Yuuzhan Vong toward it, defending itself by welcoming home its true inhabitants. The virus itself was a simple enough matter to convert into a harmless material, but convincing the Yuuzhan Vong that Zonama Sekot was actually the "offspring" of Yuuzhan'tar was another matter. After the hostilities at Corsucant were concluded by the deaths of Shimrra and Onimi, Sekot discovered that it had been a living part of Yuuzhan'tar that had been cast out into the intergalactic void when it was realized that the ur-Yuuzhan Vong were going to obliterate themselves through war and conflict. The hope was that Zonama Sekot would evolve its own consciousness, and hopefull serve as a new home for those Yuuzhan Vong who put aside their warring ways and returned to a path of enlightenment. Sekot believed that its initial encounter with the Yuuzhan Vong some fifty years earlier was actually precipitated by Skot itself, in the form of a psychic call to welcome the Yuuzhan Vong home. This initial encounter ended in brief, and the truth of its events weren't borne out until much later. The Galactic Alliance, acting on the advice of Master Skywalker and the Jedi, allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to have Zonama Sekot as their new home. Sekot believed that, with time, the Yuuzhan Vong would also recover their ability to connect to the Force. To give the Yuuzhan Vong every chance it could, Sekot took the planet into the Unknown Regions and away from Coruscant. (RP, FH3, UF)

Sekotan Starship
This was the generic term used to describe the incredibly fast starships which were produced on the planet Zonama Sekot, during the last decades of the Old Republic. These ships were organic in nature, and were rumored to be capable of making 0.4 past lightspeed. It was later revealed that these ships were "grown" to a specific master from unique seed-partners which grew around standard starship mechanical parts. The resulting starship was emotionally attached to its master, who controlled the ship by initiating physical contact with it. The development process of these ships was quite intense, and the new master had to be emotionally and mentally ready to accept the burden of ownership. Otherwise, the seed-partners would reject the master. The ships were formed by and extension of Sekot, with the help of immense tree-factories known as Jentari. While not intelligent, Sekotan starships were no doubt alive, and could not survive without the physical and emotional contact of their masters. In order to obtain a ship, a prospective buyer had to locate an agent of Zonama Sekot, who would then arrange for transport to the planet. The planet's exact location was a well-guarded secret, and after the creation process was completed, the buyer had their short-term memory wiped clean to remove any trace of information on the planet or the creation process. After the disappearance of the planet Zonama Sekot some three years after the Battle of Naboo, all Sekotan starships suddenly withered and died, and no others were ever seen in the known galaxy again. This indicated that the living ships also needed a tenuous contact with Sekot itself in order to survive. The development of these starships followed the pattern of the lifecycle of a boras tree, with the seed-partners being forged into seed-disks, then annealed into starship form. (RP)

Sektor 242 NewsLine
This small, highly-accurate, and objective news agency was based in the Outer Rim. It had traditionally been wildly pro-alien, and was deeply supportive of individual rights. These traits were only heightened by the rise of Emperor Palpatine and the New Order. (GG9, GG10, SWJ10, SWJ13)

Seku
This Twi'lek female held the rank of Captain within the Hawk-bat pirate command structure. In reality, the Ryloth native was Dia Passik. Seku was easily distinguished by the detailed tattoos which adorned her lekku. During a meeting with Zsinj, during which Castin Donn was discovered within the medical facilities of the Iron Fist, Seku was forced to shoot Donn, much to Dia's dismay. The only thing that kept her sane was the fact that Castin was already near death. (IF)

Seku
This was a common name given to Twi'lek females, and meant "memory" in the Twi'leki language. (GCG)

Sel
This was an alias used by Corran Horn and Winter to describe Tycho Celchu, during the New Republic's first mission to infiltrate the planet Coruscant and retake it from Imperial control. The alias was simply the first syllable of Tycho's last name, and was used because it wouldn't mean much to any being who overheard their conversation. (WG)

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

Sel Zonn Station
This small XQ2 Space Platform was one of more than twelve such stations located in orbit around the planet Brentaal, during the early years of the New Order. Sel Zonn Station was built as a transit point for passengers and cargo moving to and from Brentaal. When the Empire assumed control of Brentaal and its orbiting stations, Sel Zonn Station was among the handful that were all but ignored. Sections of the station were left unattended, and many fell into disrepair.

Like other such stations, Sel Zonn Station was formed from a central, cylindrical fuselage, to which was attached three landing platforms. The top of the station was formed by a circular section that contained separate landing facilities for Brentaal's nobles. This division of landing space was of little concern for many years, until the Empire moved into the system. The pro-human Imperial agenda widened the gap, not only between the wealthy and the poor, but between humans and non-humans. The rundown sections of the station became havens for non-human inhabitants who struggled to escape notice and avoid trouble with the Imperials. (DOFD, SWMW, DD01)

Sela

Se'Lab, Polo
This Bothan was once a Junior Senator in the Old Republic Senate, and often found himself on the same side of arguments with Sayer Mon Neela. The pair formed a lasting friendship, which continued after Senator Palaptine was elected Supreme Chancellor. Polo Se'Lab joined the Alliance after an Imperial raid on a Bothan spynet outpost killed his wife. He was happy to learn that his posting as the Commander of the Alliance base on Carosi XII would allow him to be reunited with Madame Neela, who had been posted there as a military strategist. (SWJ10)

Selab Tree
This was another name for the wisdom trees that were native to Selab. (CPL)

Selacron
This world was one of the moons surrounding Selaggis Six, and was ostensibly in the control of Imperial Warlord Zsinj. Five months before the Battle of Selaggis, Zsinj discovered that a group of colonists had taken up residence on the moon. Infuriated, Zsinj punished them as an example to anyone who would dare to colonize a world within his borders, but without his permission. He destroyed the colony entirely, leaving nothing but ruins behind. (SOC, CPL)

Selaggis
This yellow star was located at the center of a solar system containing seven planets. It was located eight light-years from Vahaba and close to the Halmad System. Lara Notsil and Tonin deleted its location from the navigational computer aboard the Iron Fist, hoping that Zsinj would be dragged out of hyperspace by its presence when he fled the battle against Han Solo and the Mon Remonda near Vahaba. Her plan worked, as the Iron Fist tried to flee but was brought out of hyperspace when it encountered the star. (SOC)

Selaggis Six
This yellow-orange gas giant orbited the star Selaggis. It had a heavy debris ring, and was surrounded by several mons. Five months after Zsinj destroyed a colony on the moon of Selacron, Zsinj was forced to flee to Selaggis when he was caught by Han Solo and the Mon Remonda near Vahaba. Lara Notsil had removed Selaggis from the Iron Fist's computers, and Zsinj's fleet was dragged from hyperspace when it encountered Selaggis. (CPL, SOC)

Seldom Different
This YT-1300 transport was owned by Abdi-Badawzi, and operated by Elias Halbert, during the New Order. (SWJ2, BSS)

Seldona, Hari
A famous poet from the planet Alderaan, Hari Seldona was performing in the Corellian Sector when the Death Star destroyed her home planet. Her poetry had a distinctive anti-Empire theme, and this caused her to drop out of sight when Alderaan was destroyed. She kept on reading her poetry in public, though, appearing unannounced and speaking out against the Empire. Once the message had been delivered, she quickly escapes the crowds and hides. (ISU)

Sele
This massive, yellow-furred Cathar worked as a bodyguard and antenna-breaker for Spa Fon, during the early months of the New Order. To distinguish himslef as the strongest warrior in his clan, Sele were a thin, silver crown that was capped with a mangana aqua jewel. When Jax Pavan and Den Dhur tried to press Spa Fon for information about the Ves Volette light sculptures he had sold to Shulf'aa, Sele was called in to ensure that the two interlopers didn't resort to physical violence against his employer. However, the Cathar was unprepared when Jax drew his Velmorian energy sword, and was further undone by Jax's training as a Jedi Knight. In the end, Sele was forced to admit defeat, and humbled himself before Jax. When Den Dhur revealed that Spa Fon was actually of Lonjair who hid behind the guide of a droid that was made up to look like a Nuknog, Sele was forced to hide his face in disgrace, hoping to avoid being shamed by his association with the criminal. Sele was bound by tradition to serve Jax from that point forward, and brought him news that a speeder owned by Baron Vlacan Umber had been seen parked outside Ves Volette's residence on the night of Volette's death. This information, gathered from one of Sele's acquaintences, corroborated a similar story Pavan had heard from a Drall. Thankful for the information, Pavan manumitted Sele, allowing the Cathar to get on with his own life. (CN2)

Select Commandos
This was another name used to describe Her Majesty's Commandos. (LF9)

Select Committee
This was the name given to the leadership group that directed the actions of COMPNOR, during the early years of the New Order. Its membership was considered something of a secret, and was bound by a set of rules that were rarely invoked. At its highest point, the Select Committee was comprised of more than 25,000 members, although the total was most often aroung 11,500. The members of the Select Committee kept the number a guarded secret, leading many in the upper levels of COMPNOR to estimate the number at around 1,000 members. The Select Committee answered directly to the Emperor and his advisors, and controlled the activities of the major COMPNOR divisions. (ISB, SWI84)

Select, The
This was the term used by Nom Anor, acting as the prophet Yu'shaa, to describe those loyal individuals who were sent to infiltrate the ranks of the Yuuzhan Vong military and government. Those Shamed ones who showed a quick intellect without too much independent thought were assigned to get as close to Supreme Overlord Shimrra as possible and spread The Message, while carrying concealed villips that would allow Nom Anor to see what Shimrra was planning. (FH2)

Seledrood
This Imperial Captain was killed in battle during the height of the New Order. Captain Seledrood was once heard claiming that the Admirals of the Imperial Navy had it easier than line commanders, a statement that didn't endear him to his superior officers. (ISB)

Selene
This woman was captured, along with Dustil Onasi, during the Sith raid on the planet Taris, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The pair were brought to Korriban for training, but Selene showed little aptitude for the Force. Uthar Wynn ordered her executed, so that the Sith would waste no more resource on her. (KOTOR)

Selenius VII
A planet. (GG10)

Selenome
This huge, predatory sea creature was native to a single world, although its exact location was never discovered. Selenomes grew in huge reefs, a form of camouflage that allowed the colony to exist in plain sight. When a food source got too close to the reef, individual selenomes could reach out anf grab the prey. During the height of the Clone Wars, entire colonies of selenomes were exported by the Separatists for use as defense systems on aquatic worlds like Vandor-3. (TCD)

Se'Lenti
This was the Gorothite term for The Scouring. (GSE)

Selesin Medicinal Electronics
This small corporation produced a range of equipment that helped doctors and field medics maintain a being's physical well-being. (FOP)

Selestrine
This woman was the Queen of the Icarii at the time when Imperial Commander Karda went rogue. Karda had been ordered to destroy the Icarri by his commanding officer, General Nim, and managed to poison the entire Icarii tribe and kill them. Karda then took Selestrine captive, hoping to gain riches and power through her ability to predict the future. Selestrine, already dismayed by the death of her tribe, tried to commit suicide by taking the same poison Karda had used on them. He discovered her plan before it could be complete, and beheaded her before the poison could destroy her head. A group of medics then encased her head in a life-sustaining casket covered with kneeb hide, and she predicted that General Nim would be killed in action. Her prophecy came true when Nim arrived to claim her head from Karda, and he killed Nim and his guards. Karda fled the Empire as a fugitive. It was during this time the Selestrine foresaw her own fate was held by a dark-shadowed man, but she saw nothing more than that. He made several stops and used several different ships in order to evade pursuit, but Selestrine began telling him of his own future. She predicted that Karda would hunted down and killed by Boba Fett exactly thirty-one days from the day he destroyed the Icarii, and she counted them down on a regular basis. This slowly drove Karda mad over the thirty-one days, during which time he had hidden among the brothers of the Ancient Order of the Pessimists on Maryx Minor. In the end, Selestrine's prophecy was proven correct, as Fett captured and killed Karda on Maryx Minor before taking posession of her disembodied head. However, Darth Vader himself was on Maryx Minor, hoping to take possession of her head. Selestrine realized that Vader was the dark man of her own future. She warned him of Vader's approach, and began taunting him as well. Fett took several strands of her bejeweled hair as a hedge against the future, and set out to defeat Vader. During the struggle between the two armor-clad opponents, Fett managed to retain possession of the small casket, until Vader cornered him at the lip of a lava pit. In an effort to throw off Vader's attacks, Fett kicked the casket into the pit. Selestrine believed she was finally dead, until Vader used the Dark Side of the Force to recover the casket before it could hit the lava. She then taunted Vader with visions of his own future, hoping that Vader would pay for the knowledge of his future by killing her. In this she was also proven correct, as Vader destroyed her head shortly before Emperor Palpatine ordered it delivered to him personally. (EOE)

Self Service
This slang term was commonly used in the Elrood Sector of the galaxy to describe a pirate, referring to the ways in which pirates ambushed other beings and took what they wanted. (PG3)

Selgon
This searing ball of rock was the innermost planet of the Axum System, located in the Core Worlds. (CCW)

Selid, Kleyn
This man served as the Imperial Colonel guarding the Mount Tantiss project on Wayland, during the early years of the New Republic. Selid earned his rank at a young age, was known for his no-nonsense approach to his duties, and rarely took time off from his job. Although he rankled at being given command of the Mount Tantiss base - considering it mere baby-sitting rather than a real command - he became involved in a battle of wills with Joruus C'baoth after the Guardian appeared on the planet. It was Selid who was forced to relay information on the death of General Covell to Thrawn and Captain Gilad Pellaeon, but the information available to him was incomplete. Selid was then faced with a series of strange orders from Thrawn, who had recognized that Covell's death was attributable to the insane Dark Jedi, Joruus C'baoth. Thrawn ordered Selid to seal off C'baoth in the Emperor's chambers, then seal off the mountain from any of the troops which had been in contact with either C'baoth or Covell. Selid didn't understand, but he moved swiftly to carry out the orders. (TLC, TTSB)

Seline
This remote, outpost world was the site of a Jedi starport during the last decades of the Old Republic. Its facilities were limited, but available to any traveling Jedi who needed assistance. (RP)

Selit
This Imperial Grand Moff took a keen interest in the ground-based assault of rebel strongholds, during his tenure at the height of the New Order. (ISB)

Selkath
This amphibious race was native to the planet Manaan. Humanoid in stature, the average Selkath was distinguished by its sleek, hydrodynamic body. Their long fingers were tipped with poisonous, retractable claws, although many Selkath used these claws only as a last resort. They were the sole producers of kolto during the height of the Great Sith War, and maintained very strict control over its production and export. They chose to remain neutral during the conflict, and tended to view themselves as superior to the rest of the galaxy. Other races regarded this as arrogance, but the Selkath refused to allow one side or the other to gain an advantage by controlling kolto. When production mysteriously halted, the Selkath appealed to the Old Republic for help. Since Manaan was not officially a member of the Republic, help was neved dispatched to the remote world. Since that time, kolto production had steadily recovered, but the Selkath vowed never to allow outside influences to control their planet or the production of kolto. Over the centuries, however, the Selkath civilization regressed into a primitive state, so that by the time Imperial scouts rediscovered the planet, the Selkath were living in undersea caverns and could barely understand the Basic language. Petty warlords staged unceasing raids on each other, leaving the Selkath with no formal defenses. Thus, when the Empire rediscovered the planet, the Selkath were quickly subjugated by Imperial forces. They were forbidden to return to the seas, and those few who tried were brutally punished. A few Selkath maintained a record of their previous prosperity, if only through stories, and remained hidden from their Imperial oppressors until they could stage a rebellion. (KOTOR, PH)

Selkatha
This was the native language of the Selkath race. It was formed from a series of guttural, throaty sounds that carried exceptionally well underwater. (KOTOR, PH)

Selkathian Seaweed
This form of seaweed was native to the planet Manaan, and was named for the fact that it was originally raised as a foodstuff by the native Selkath. (OWS)

Selkren
One of the primary cities on the now-destroyed planet of Demophon, Selkren was domed to keep the harsh environment at bay. (SN)

Sella
This was a nickname used by family of Corran and Mirax Terrik Horn to describe their daughter, Jysella. (FJ1)

Selle
This dark-skinned, female bounty hunter and her partner Brazzo were killed by Darth Vader on Centares, after they learned that Luke Skywalker had destroyed the first Death Star. (VQ)

Selligore
This large, elephantine creature inhabited the tropical waters of the planet Corsin. Measuring four meters tall at the shoulder and up to twenty meters in length, selligore had colorful hides and were quite harmless despite their size. They lived on the plankton and small fish of their waters. Like other aquatic mammals, selligore could survive underwater for several hours before requiring a breath. Their four feet ended in four long toes, and a fin-like fan covered their dorsal ridge. Their large ears also resembled huge fins, and their long faces ended with four thick trunks. (COG)

Sellis
Sellis was a news anchor for the Andasala Achievement News. (GG11)

Selliwyrm
A timid, snake-like creature that would just as soon run and hide than confront another creature. (SWJ12)

Sellsecret
This was a slang term used on the planet Tatooine to describe any being who make a living buying and selling information. The term sellsecret had a more dubious connotation than infochant. (TG)

Selnesh
This Imperial prison planet was located in the Seltaine System of Irishi Sector. The surface of the planet was utterly devoid of life, without plants or animals, and had barren, frigid landscape. The prison was contained in several domes which kept good air in and bad air out. This arrangement was often preferred by the Empire, because it made escape from the prison nearly impossible to survive. The average day on Selnesh lasted 37 standard hours, and its year lasted 489 local days. (SWJ10, TFE)

Selona
This was the third month of the Tapani local calendar, which mapped almost directly to the Coruscant local calendar. (PGT)

Selonia
This New Republic fleet hauler was damaged when a poacher's bomb - which had been disguised as a datapad - exploded in her hold. (BTS)

Selonia
One of the five inhabited planets in the Corellian System, Selonia was an ocean world that was home to the Selonian race. The planet and its inhabitants was renowned for its poetry. Han Solo once told his children that Selonia was home to all of the Corellian System's sea monsters, because it was the only planet with oceans large enough to hold them. Much of the planet's crust and mantle was riddled with caves and passageways, and it was in these subterranean locations that the native Selonians made their warrens. For much of its history, Selonia remained aloof from the rest of the galaxy, preferring live in their warrens in relative peace. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, the Confederacy of Independent Systems won the battle for control of Selonia. (AC, CCW, CWWS)

Selonian
This was the name given to the native language of the Selonian race. (ANT)

Selonian
One of the three primary races in the Corellian System, the Selonians were tall, strong, and quick. Often referred to as serious-minded and refined, the Selonians were well-muscled and covered with short, sleek fur, giving them a seal-like appearance. They had bristly whiskers on their noses, sharp teeth, and long tails. They were excellent swimmers, but were equally comfortable walking upright or on all-fours. Taller and more slender than humans, they had long bodies and short limbs. Each hand or foot was equipped with retractable claws for climbing or defense. The Selonian race was believed to be descended from a predatory aquatic mammal which lived in riverside burrows, but later dug deeper into the ground and farther from water. Each burrow was inhabited by all members of a Selonian family, which was collectively called a sept. Each sept was distinguished by its lone ferile male breeder. This male, along with the one fertile female, gave birth to the sept's members. All male Selonians were born fertile, with the males making up one of every hundred Selonians. Of 500 female Selonians, only one would be fertile. These fertile members of the sept, while revered for their fertility, were forced to remain in the burrows. The sterile females managed the day-to-day activities of the sept. Non-familial groupings of Selonians, such as the government, were called dens. Each den was made up of sterile females. Over time, the Selonians learned that dealing with other aliens, especially humans, was dangerous. Thus, only specially-trained females ever left their burrows and contact the outside world. These females learned the Basic language in addition to the normal conversational Selonian tongue. All Selonians could also speak a modified language of sounds that was used in their burrows. Its pure sounds were not affected by echoes or other auditory anomalies caused by the burrows. Note that Star Wars Galaxies indicates that Selonians evolved on Selonia, but were native to Drall. (AC, AS, EGA, SWGAL)

Selonian Coneship
Any of the hand-built Selonian transport ships, these coneships look like flattened cones. The wide end contains the ship's engines, while the small end contains the cockpit and viewports. The entire ship lands point upward, so that the ship's pilots must face upward on liftoff, rather than foreward as on most horizontal craft. The average coneship measures 20.5 meters in length, and had only enough room for a pilot and two passengers. The New Republic was forced to enact travellers' advisories in the Corellian system whenever a coneship was in flight, due to their unpredictable nature. (AS, CTD)

Selonian Enclave
The name given to the Selonian embassy building in Coronet, on Corellia. The Selonian Enclave was the sight of the first Human League attack on the Selonians in Coronet, following an attack on a Selonian neighborhood in Bela Vistal. (AC)

Selonian Fire
This Victory-class Star Destroyer was part of the fleet dispatched under the command of Admiral Ackbar to liberate the planet Ciutric from Prince-Admiral Krennel. Using the Thrawn Pincer to surprise Krennel's fleet, Ackbar had the Selonian Fire and a sister ship, the Corusca Fire, remain on the far side of the Ciutric System until called for. When Krennel activated the gravity well projectors on the Binder, Ackbar ordered the two Victory-class ships to microjump forward. The gravity shadow from the Binder pulled them out of hyperspace behind Krennel's fleet, allowing them to pummel Krennel's ships which were also trapped in place by the Interdictor cruiser. (IR)

Selonian Glaive
This heavy weapon was developed by the Selonian race, and was the primary weapon used in combat. The shaft of the glaive was formed from heavy wood. At one end of the glaive was an obsidian blade, while the other end sported a collection of obsidian hooks and barbs. Each glaive was created by an individual Selonian female, who proved herself worthy of wielding it by locating the materials herself. (CCW)

Sel'Sabagno, Elan
This was the true name of the small-time slythmonger known as Elan Sleazebaggano. (GMR10)

Seltiss-1
This was a form of Hutt Caravel produced by Ubrikkian Industries during the last years of the Old Republic. Measuring thirty meters in length, the Seltiss-1 could accommodate up to sixty-five passengers and 150 metric tons of cargo. Its crew compliment included a pilot and co-pilot, as well as up to three gunners. The Seltiss-1 was armed with four turret-mounted turbolaser cannons, a tractor beam projector, and a concussion missile launcher. (TF)

Seltiss-2
This modest caravel design was popular with up-and-coming Hutt figures who were only a few centuries old and have not established themselves as prominent figures. It was a large, space-going barge with a large, overhead sail and a prominent bow. (EGV)

Selton
This was a city located on the planet Naboo. Dren Melne was a native of this city. (SFT)

Seltos
This planet was located in the Seltos Syste, and was known for its production of food, lumber, and precious ores. It was a mountainous world covered in dense forests. It orbits its primary star once every 459 days, which last about 20 standard hours. (RPG, GG12, TSK)

Seltos Planetary Soldiers
This group of law enforcement agents was created when the populace of Seltos overthrew the pro-Imperial government some years after the Battle of Endor. The new government, strongly aligned with the New Republic, established the SPS to help control former Imperial leaders and other dissidents. (TSK)

Seltrayne, Melenna
This young woman grew up an a street urchin on Ord Mantell, and was recruited into the Alliance when she failed in an attempt to pick Koris Haslam's wallet. She became a loyal member of his unit, answering only to Haslam before accepting the orders of the Alliance commanders. She was a pretty, slightly-built woman with blue eyes and blonde hair, and she often used her beauty to draw her targets off their guard. (SWJ10)

Selty
One of the Black Sun criminals working with Grobber during the reign of Zekka Thyne over Black Sun's Corellian interests. (TFE)

Selu
This YT-1300 transport was owned and operated by Twin Suns Transport Service. It was piloted by Aeron Azzameen during the Galactic Civil War, until it came uder fire from Viraxo pirates. Aeron's brother Ace was forced to destroy th Selu to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Viraxo. (XWA)

Seluss
This Sullustan pilot worked with the smuggler Jarril, and was Jarril's primary business partner. Seluss once managed to steal the plans to the Millennium Falcon, but he was discovered by Han Solo and forced to return them. He disappeared during the bombing of the Senate Assembly Chamber, and was nowhere to be found when Jarril returned from discussing the Smuggler's Run with Han Solo. Thus, he wasn't aboard the Spicy Lady when it was hijacked by Dolph's agents. Jarril was killed, but Seluss returned to the Run continue Jarril's inquiry into the strange happenings within the Run. He faked his hatred toward Solo to cover his tracks and arrange a meeting with Solo in the Run. He was able to tell Han about the old Imperial equipment being transported through the Run, helping Solo break the mystery of the Run and undermine the efforts of Nandreeson. (TNR)

Seluss
This serpent was found in the tunnels and caves of the planet Sullust. Its sudden appearance was considered a good omen to Sullustan miners, since it indicated that the area was relatively safe to enter and exist in. (GCG)

Seluss
This name was common among Sullustan males, and referred to a serpent that was found in Sullustan caves. The appearance of this serpent was considered a good omen among Sullustan miners. (GCG)

Selvaris
This planet, orbited by a single moon, was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong during their invasion of the galaxy. A hot world, Selvaris orbited Centis Major and Renaant, the twin suns of the Tantara system, which continually bathed the planet in oppressive heat and humidity. The aquamarine oceans of Selvaris teemed with life, providing shellfish and fish for food. Its forests and jungles were also bountiful, providing many forms of fruits and vegetables. After the Battle of Coruscant, Selvaris was converted into a prison world, with a number of camps scattered across its landmasses. It was here that the prisoners captured during the Galactic Alliance's Operation Trinity at Bilbringi were taken for incarceration, until they could be sacrificed in a massive ceremony meant to solidify the Yuuzhan Vong's supremacy in the galaxy. It was from Selvaris that Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, rescued the Jenet soldier Thorsh, who carried an important collection of mathematics codes in his head. (UF)

This woman was wanted by the Sith for a series of crimes, during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. She was killed in her apartment in the Lower City of Taris by a bounty hunter, who had been hired by Zax the Hutt. (KOTOR)

Semag System
Grand Admiral Thrawn tried to capture Admiral Zaarin in this system, in which the Empire developed its first, working cloaking device. (TIE)

Sembla
This water-covered planet was the homeworld of the Vurk race. The planet was located in the Outer Rim Territories, near the Tion Hegemony. Much of the surface of Sembla was in a constant state of change, as active volcanoes regularly deposited new lava formations to alter the livable landmass. (SWDB, NEGA)

Semblan
This was the native language of the Vurk race. (WOTC)

Semmac
A Bakuran Naval Captain, he served under Hortel Ossilege in the siege of Centerpoint Station. (SC)

Semqi Pefis
Vocis Kenit was assigned to this Victory-class Star Destroyer shortly after his graduation from the Imperial Academy on Lianna and his promotion to Junior Lieutenant. (FOP)

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

Semtin, Marl
This Imperial Captain was distinguished by the metallic cyborg implants which covered his eyes and ears. A man who was frustrated by the Imperial bureaucracy's slow pace, he often worked with the criminal underground to obtain what he needed. Semtin lost his eyes after a deal with the criminal underground went sour. The staunch Imperial was forced to accept Trandoshan eyes were replacements when a raid on BioTech Industries' base on Ambria - at his direction - failed to produce a human pair. He was in command of the Victory-class Star Destroyer Harrow shortly after the Battle of Endor, and was one of the few Imperial officers who knew of the location of the Eidolon. He had researched the disappearance of the ship, and eventually discovered the truth. He threatened to blackmail Sate Pestage, and the vizier offered him a portion of the cache as payment for keeping the secret. Semtin maintained a small detachment of officers on Tatooine in hopes of securing the Eidolon Base cache for himself, and managed to capture Firith Olan before the Twi'lek could discover Eidolon Base himself. He brought the alien back to Ryloth, in an attempt to draw off Rogue Squadron's interest in Eidolon Base. He later brought out a group of elite special forces under the command of Sixtus Quin, in order to eliminate the Rogues. Once Semtin's treachery in using Olan to further his own plans for domination were discovered by Sixtus' men, they hunted Semtin down at Eidolon Base. Sixtus executed Semtin as soon as he was captured. (XWBT, HXW)

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

Sen 1
This Imperial assault transport vessel was part of the group that was dispatched to Venzeiia 2 Prime, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE, TIEP)

Sen 2
This Imperial assault transport vessel was part of the group that was dispatched to Venzeiia 2 Prime, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE, TIEP)

Sena
This was one of the most common female names among the Corellians. (GMR9)

Senaar
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word meant "bird." (OWS)

Senalak
This thin, meter-long organic spike was developed by the Yuuzhan Vong as a defense mechanism. Senalaks were grown in much the same was as grass or reeds, thriving in sandy soil. The roots of the senalak were also covered with thorns, and ravenously dug themselves into the soil. The blue tip of a senalak shaft contained a strand of thorn-studded cord, which was ejected and whipped about whenever an enemy presence disturbed the shaft. The thorny cord would then catch in the clothing or skin of the enemy, trapping it as the cord retracted back into the shaft. (SBS, UF)

Senali
This ocean-covered world was one of the moons orbiting the planet Rutan, and was once a colony world established by the Rutanians. Note that Jedi Apprentice: The Shattered Peace also describes Senali as a planet with four moons. The planet's four moons create intense tidal variation, creating swift currents in the oceans. In a violent and catastrophic civil war, Senali won its independence in a stunning upset. However, the war left both worlds devastated. The government of Rutan agreed to recognize Senali as a unique world, and both agreed to work together for peace. In an effort to continue the peace, it was agreed that the first-born child of each generation of the ruling houses on both worlds would travel to the other world once they reached the age of seven. They would remain on the other planet for nine years, learning about the other society. During this time, the children were allowed to receive visitors from, and occasionally visit, their homeworld, so that they never forgot their heritage. At the age of sixteen, the youths were allowed to return home in preparation for taking over as ruler of their homeworld. Another member of the royal family moved to the other world until the next generation was born. This arrangement worked well for many years, until the Rutanians sold information on the Senali to the Yuuzhan Vong. The alien invaders utterly devastated Senali, wiping out the civilization and much of the planet's surface before turning their attack to eliminate the Rutanians as well. (SP, FH1)

Senali
This was the name adopted by those Rutanians who colonized the moon of Senali and then won their independence in a bloody civil war. Although they were descended from Rutanian stock, they had a silvery coloration to their skin from tiny scales which had evolved over the generations. Senali also wore their hair shorter than the Rutanians. As a society, the Senali tried to do away with titles and the trappings of office, in an effort to ensure that every member of society was equal. Where their ancestors the Rutanians preferred to hunt and kill for sport, the Senali chose to hunt only to obtain food. Any food which was left over from a hunt was distributed to other families, so that no part of a kill was wasted. About twelve years before the Battle of Naboo, the Senali people became divided when Prince Leed of Rutan decided to remain on Senali. One faction argued that he should be allowed to do as he wished, since it was legally his decision. The other faction wanted him to return to Rutan, thereby ensuring the relative peace between the Rutanians and the Senalis. In the end, Leed was given the chance to remain on Senali, and the leaders of the two planets re-established the peace. This arrangement worked well for many years, until the Rutanians sold information on the Senali to the Yuuzhan Vong. The alien invaders utterly devastated Senali, wiping out the civilization and much of the planet's surface before turning their attack to eliminate the Rutanians as well. (SP, FH1)

Senate Act 321.7
This was one of the first acts that were voted into law by the Imperial Senate, during the early months of the New Order. Written by Emperor Palpatine himself, Senate Act 321.7 suspended the rights of an individual to choose their own legal counsel, in those cases where the individual was accused of being a traitor to the Galactic Empire. (LJ5)

Senate Action Subcommittee
This was the name used to describe the small, speciallized groups of Old Republic politicians that were appointed to perform a specific task. These action subcommittees were funded by the Galactic Senate, and were assigned to any number of necessities. During the Clone Wars, several action subcommittees were created to address various aspects of the war. However, like much of the Senate's proceedings, the work of the action subcommittees was often bogged down in political wrangling, meaning that nothing ever got done in a timely fashion. This was never more evident than when Senator Onaconda Farr was forced to step down as the leader of the Corellian Trade Spine Defense subcommittee, after the planet Duro was captured by the Separatists. Many reporters believed that Chancellor Palpatine would dissolve all current action subcommittees, in favor of a more centrallized war office. (SWI75)

Senate Airlane Control
This branch of the Coruscant air traffic control system was tasked with ensuring the safety and security of the airspace over the Senate Rotunda and the surrounding buildings of the Senate Annex, during the final years of the Old Republic. (MF)

Senate Annex
This was a general term used to describe the secondary buildings that surrounded the Senate Rotunda on the planet Coruscant, during the final decades of the Old Republic. The Senate Annex included the primary docking and hangar facilities used to house the starships of Senators, their aides, and support staff. There was also a separate hangar for deliveries. Vehicle traffic through the airspace above the Senate Annex was often restricted, to help ensure the security of the Senators. (MF)

Senate Appropriations Committee
This branch of the Galactic Senate was charged with overseeing the allocation of credits to various government-funded projects, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (OF)

Senate Arena
This was another term used to describe the Grand Convocation Chamber of the Senate Rotunda, used because it was often the site of heated debates that bordered on becoming all-out brawls. (E3N)

Senate Assembly Chamber
This huge, multi-tiered auditorium was located near the Imperial Palace on Coruscant. It was crowned by a beautiful stained-glass ceiling. The New Republic used this building to convene the full Senate body on a regular basis. Much of the seating was left over from the days of Emperor Palpatine, and did not quite accommdate many alien species. It was in this building, during a full Senate meeting, that Dolph triggered the detonation devices that were hidden in many of the Senators' personal droids. The resulting combination of explosions destroyed a great deal of the Chamber, and killed a large number of Senators. The initial blasts did a fair amount of damage, but the stained glass of the ceiling was never meant to withstand such a blast. The support structure and most of the glass rained down on the beings convened there, inflicting many lacerations and cuts, many of which were fatal. (TNR)

Senate Assembly Chamber
This huge, oblate building dominated the center of Galactic City on Coruscant during the Old Republic. The structure measured two full kilometers in diameter. Within its walls, the Senate debated on every aspect of galactic politics. 1,024 repulsor-equipped platforms were arranged around the chamber walls, allowing a delegation to move into the center of the chamber and address the entire chamber. It was rumored that some of the platforms were given speedier repulsor engines, thereby allowing the delegates they carried to reach the Chancellor's podium faster than other platforms. Radiating out behind the bay of each repulsor platform was a long chamber which provided each Senator with an environment that suited their natural worlds. The Chancellor, the Vice Chariman, and their immediate staff presided over the Senate chamber in a centrally-located spire which was topped with an open array of seats and stood 30 meters tall. This spire rose from the floor of the chamber, beneath which was the Chancellor's private offices. In order to ensure that everything was done according to procedure, Senate cam droids floated throughout the chamber, recording speeches and monitoring votes while providing real-time coverage of all debates. These droids also piped audio to a central computer, which could send translated audio streams to the other delegates. (IG1, IWE1, COD, E3)

Senate Budgetary Committee
Once part of the Imperial Senate, they were responsible for authorizing the dispensing of credits to various groups within the Old Republic and, later, the Empire. This committee was disbanded along with the entire Senate, by Emperor Palpatine. (ISB)

Senate Building
During the era of the Clone Wars, this was another name for the Senate Rotunda, located on the planet Coruscant. In the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War, the term was used to describe Coruscant's Grand Convocation Chamber. (LF2, MF)

Senate Bureau of Intelligence
This was the primary investigative force assigned to the Old Republic's Galactic Senate. The SBI as under the command of Armand Isard during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Isard was hand-picked by Chancellor Palpatine to reform the SBI, after the secession of many planets from the Republic and the growing terrorist attacks of the Separatists. (ISB, HNN5)

Senate Cam Droid
This was the generic term used to describe the small, repulsor-equipped droids which monitored the Senate proceedings of the Old Republic. Built to be unobtrusive, these droids had audio and video pickups which allowed them to provide real-time coverage of the Seante's proceedings. The coverage was also recorded for future reference. Audio was fed to a central conputer, which could then provide translated audio to the other Senators. A small number of these droids were assigned to individual Senators, while the majority were allowed to move about the chamber and record the debates. (E1N, IG1)

Senate Commandos
This was a specially-trained unit of the Senate Guard, or the Blue Guard, that protected the members of the Galactic Senate during the final years of the Old Republic. The Senate Commandos were dispatched on dangerous missions that often took place on worlds other than Coruscant, where Senators were traveling on official business. Senate Commandos wore blue armor that was derived from the body armor of the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic. (CWTV09)

Senate Committee on New World Discovery and Exploration
This Old Republic Senate committee was charged with funding and furthering the exploration of the known galaxy, beyond all known borders. (PG3)

Senate Committee on Refugees
This branch of the Galactic Senate was charged with ensuring that the rights and needs of those beings who were dishomed or evacuated during the Clone Wars were met with the most expedient response possible. However, given the scope of the conflict, many beings and races were forced to make their own way until the Old Republic could address their specific needs. (RCTZ)

Senate Council on Security and Intelligence
This branch of the New Republic was charged with investigating the recent history of the galaxy to identify trends and events that might impair the government's ability to maintain the safety and security of the Republic. Much of their research focused on the era of the Clone Wars, since the history of the Galactic Civil War was well-known. (EGF)

Senate Delegation of the Two Thousand
This was another term used to describe the Delegation of the Two Thousand. (MF)

Senate District
This area of Imperial City on Coruscant was centered around the old Senate Rotunda, and contained much of the surrounding cityscape. Standing in stark contrast to its opulence, however, was the abandoned factory area known as The Works. The Senate District was one of the few demarcations of the planet's cityscape that remained unchanged for centuries, surviving the Galactic Civil War and the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong. In the wake of the conflict with the alien invaders, the Senate District was rebuilt to its former glory. In the reformed landscape of Coruscant, the Senate District was located between the new Jedi Temple and the Galactric Justice Center. (RP, LEV, LF2, LF3)

Senate Emergency Response
This body was formed by the Galactic Senate on Coruscant, in case of a catastrophic event that destroyed much of the galaxy's governmental structure. It was used only once in recorded history, in the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, when Chancellor Palpatine assume the role of Emperor. The Senate Emergency Response team was forced to declare martial law on Coruscant after Palpatine claimed that the Jedi Order had tried to assassinate him, as part of a far-reaching plot to take control of the galaxy. Among their first actions was to surround the Jedi Temple and ensure that the so-called Jedi Rebellion didn't spread beyond its walls. (E3N)

Senate Guard
This was the order of stoic, blue-armored guards who protected the members of the Old Republic Senate. Their armor was distinctive in its color and style, earning these soldiers the nickname Blue Guards, and was often considered to be one of the design cues used by the Imperial Royal Guards. Interestingly enough, the design for the Senate Guards' armor was based on the armor of the ancient Neo-Crusaders of Mandalore. Small groups of Senate Guards wer deployed across Coruscant to ensure the safety of the various members of the Galactic Senate. Their jurisdiction was not limited to Coruscant, however, as the Senate Guards often accompanied Senators to conferences and special sessions throughout the galaxy. Thus, the selection criteria for the Senate Guard was exceptionally stringent, in order to locate truly non-partisan guards who served the Repbulic itself. A select unit of the Senate Guard, charged with protecting Senator Palpatine after he was name the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, was distinguished from the Senate Guard by their red armor. Known as the Red Guard, these guards eventually became the Imperial Royal Guards. During the height of the New Order, the Senate Guard was rendered irrelevant when Emperor Palpatine dissolved the Galactic Senate. (IG1, SWI80, SWDB, CWTV22)

Senate Hall
This was the name of the building which housed the New Republic Senate, during the earliest years of the New Republic. It was built upon the foundation of the old Galactic Senate Rotunda, which had suffered damaged during the Imperial occupation of Coruscant. The Senate Hall was used for many years until it suffered major damage in an attack by Dolph. In its place, and upon the Rotunda foundation which took very little damage, was built the Grand Convocation Chamber. (SOP, T)

Senate Hall
This was the original Senatorial building established on the planet Coruscant, to serve as the base of operations for the Galactic Senate. It was later replaced by the Senate Rotunda, also known as the Galactic Senate Chamber. (CCW)

Senate Hill
Located in Imperial City, on Coruscant, Senate Hill was formed by a series of small, unimposing monuments to the justice and glory of Old Republic. When Palpatine rebuilt much of Imperial City, he left Senate Hill alone, preferring to dwarf its significance with the sheer size of the Imperial Palace. (XWN)

Senate Hospital
see Senate Medcenter (LEV)

Senate Intelligence Bureau
This was another name used to describe the Senate Bureau of Intelligence. (MF)

Senate Intelligence Oversight Committee
This branch of the Galactic Senate was charged with ensuring that funds provided to the Grand Army of the Republic were put to proper use, during the height of the Clone Wars. The committee opposed any non-military usage of clone troopers, and had tried to block the use of clone commandos and probe droids on Coruscant itself. Chancellor Palpatine eventually overruled their decision, citing that Separatist spies might already be working on the planet. This decision allowed Mace Windu to assemble a team of investigators to search The Works for evidence of Darth Sidious' existence. (LEV)

Senate Interspecies Advisory Committee
This group, sponsored by the Galactic Senate several decades before the Clone Wars, was formed to monitor the growing racial tensions between members of various alien and human races. The panel consisted of governmental experts as well as Jedi Knights, in an effort to understand how different races interacted with each other, and how to avoid unnecessary conflict. (DFR)

Senate Investigating Commission on Crime Syndication, Dissemination, and Proliferation in the Core and Mid-Rim Systems
This committee was formed within the Galactic Senate, several decades before the Battle of Geonosis, to investigate the ways in which criminal organizations were formed, grew, and expanded throughout the Core Worlds and the Mid Rim. Many Senators from other regions of the galaxy demanded that the committee expand its scope, since much of the galaxy's crime was moving away from the Core to avoid the notice of the Republic and the Jedi Order. (SOJ)

Senate Justice Council
This body, formed from the ranks of the New Republic Senate, was charged with ensuring that the Republic acted legally in its endeavors. (JE)

Senate Medcenter
This hospital facility was located in the Senate District of Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic, and was set aside to handle the varied needs of the Galactic Senate and its members. (LEV)

Senate Military Oversight Committee
This was the branch of the Old Republic and the Galactic Senate that oversaw the military spending that was required to protect and the defend the planets of the Republic. This body was eventually modified to become the Imperial Military Oversight Commission. (RASB)

Senate Office Building
This annex of the Senate Rotunda provided offices and working spaces for the Senators of the Old Republic and their aides, allowing them to accomplish work items and communicate with their constituents in between sessions of the Senate. (VD3, E3N)

Senate Planetary Intelligence Network
Known as SPIN, this was a secret organization created by the Alliance after the death of Emperor Palpatine to uncover pockets of Imperial resistance in the galaxy. It was based on Yavin 4, until Trioculus razed the moon in his effort to locate the Lost City of the Jedi. SPIN was relocated from Yavin 4 to a location on Mount Yoda, on Dagobah, before Mon Mothma disbanded it in favor of other important missions. (GDV, MMY, EGC)

Senate Plaza
This was the name used to describe the open-air walkway that surrounded the Senate Rotunda on the planet Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (LEV)

Senate Podium

Senate Relief Fund
This huge relief fund was established by the Galactic Senate of the Old Republic, to fund the recovery efforts that were performed on members worlds which suffered natural disasters or were ravaged by war. (JQ8)

Senate Rotunda
This was the name of the squat, round building used to house the Galactic Senate, during the last millennium of the Old Republic. Large enough to hold 1,024 delegates, their entourages, and living quarters for Senators and their assistants, the Rotunda plunged deep into the cityscape of Coruscant. Each Senator had a repulsor-equipped dais that allowed them to approach the Supreme Chancellor from their own offices. The docking station for each dais could generate a privacy screen, which allowed the Senators to discuss matters with their advisors. Neighboring privacy screens could be overlapped if two or more Senators wanted to converse.

The Chancellor, as befitting his position, presided over the Senate from a tall spire located in the exact center of the Rotunda, which rose from the floor of the Rotunda. The Chancellor's offices were located beneath the main Assembly Chamber.

The building's architect boasted that the Rotunda was indestructible, and that any weapon that could destroy it would crack Coruscant in half. During the Clone Wars, Chancellor Palpatine disabled the privacy screens, ostensibly to allow for more open dialogue on the war. In reality, this allowed his security hovercams to move about among the Senators, recording conversations that might be considered rebellious. The Rotunda endured the early stages of the Galactic Civil War, but suffered damaged when the Empire retook the planet five years after the Battle of Endor. It suffered more damage when the New Republic reclaimed Coruscant, and although the structure was unfit for habitation, its internal structure remained intact.

The Grand Convocation Chamber of the New Republic was built upon its remains, providing a stable base. Note that Last of the Jedi - Death on Naboo indicates that the Chancellor's offices were located on the top floors of the building. (E1N, IWE1, T, VD3, LJ4)

Senate Select Committee for Refugees
Known as SELCORE, this New Republic Senate-approved committee was formed to address the problem of the incredible number of refugees who were forced to flee their homeworlds in the face of the Yuuzhna Vong invasion. The committee held the Conclave on the Plight of the Refugees in order to gain the agreement of planets to house, feed, and protect the refugees. Their ultimate goal was to establish species-specific enclaves for the peoples of the Tingel Arm and the Corporate Sector, matching compatible species in order to help maximize space. While the committee ran itself well enough, stretching every credit and every resource to its utmost degreee to keep beings fed and housed, the continual advance of the Yuuzhan Vong kept the number of new refugees growing at an alarming rate. Unexpected help came in the form of humanitarian aide from the Hapes Consortium, which gave SELCORE much needed supplies and resources. What they lacked, however, were enough safeworlds on which to transplant the refugees. This situation was compounded by the fact that the Senators of the New Republic continued to argue about which planets to defend and which to abandon, and Senators from many well-defended worlds did not want their already strained resources to be diluted to accommodate refugees. After Viqi Shesh was exposed as a traitor and the Yuuzhan Vong captured Coruscant, SELCORE was more or less disbanded as the government splintered and fled into the Outer Rim. (HT, JE, NJOSB)

Senators and their aides could purchase the Record for a few credits an issue, and by reading through the summaries, they could be kept abreast of the wide-ranging discussions that were occurring on the Senate floor. (LJ5)

Sencil Corporation
A droid manufactured based on Churba, it was nationalized by the Empire in an effort to control Mid-Rim droid markets. (SWJ6)

Sencker, Lindu
An Imperial scientist, Dr. Sencker was approached by Geothray Camber, sometime after the original idea for the Imperial CompLink was proposed. Camber provided Sencker and his team with the scandocs and specifications to the Hyperspace Orbiting Scanner, in the hope that Sencker's team could refine the plans and actually build the HOS. Sencker's team was able to successfully implement the complex technology put forth by Camber, allowing Imperial Intelligence to use the CompLink idea to monitor planetary transmissions throughout the galaxy. (ISB)

Sendarl Electronics
This Esselian manufacturer was an industrial giant in Darpa Sector during the New Order. When the fringe rebel group known as the Faceless began attacking Imperial outposts and claiming that the Empire was decidedly pro-Human, Sendarl's mainly alien workforce went on strike. The company's plants were virtually shut down, and operated only with droid labor until Kanno Sebak negotiated an end to the strike. (SWJ9)

Sender of Battle
see Dra'jhok (GMR1)

Sendir
This Twi'lek served as Tirgee Benyalle's bodyguard, during the early years of the New Republic. Despite his allegiance to Benyalle, Sendir took a large bribe to allow Imperial Admiral Kermen's forces to infiltrate her organization in preparation for Kermen's hostile takeover of Kaal. When Kermen gave the word, Sendir stabbed Benyalle in the back with a knife. He was quickly detained by agents of the New Republic and held for imprisonment. (SWJ7)

Seneki was later killed when The Flakax known as Tito returned from his mission to eliminate Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo. Tito had watched his partner Yugi died in the fight, and became psychotic. (DN3)

Sener
This Imperial Security Bureau agent recommended that Tamaron Rill's daughter would be the perfect bounty hunter to locate Tamaron himself, who was wanted in connection with "rebellious activities." (GG10)

Seneria, Jullisa
This girl was the daughter of Yasil Seneria. While playing, she inadvertently slipped off a ledge, but managed to grab a piece of wood and hold on. Her screams were overheard by her father and a roving lepusa. Before her father could reach her, the lepusa fashioned a rope from a length of vine and dangled it down to her. After she grabbed hold, the lepusa pulled her up and out of harm's way. Then, the creature disappeared. (COG)

Senerio, Yasil
This man was a farm manager on the planet Freliq during the Galactic Civil War. He was one of the strongest supporters of the idea that the lepusa were intelligent, especially after he witnessed a lepusa's problem-solving and tool-using skills when it rescued his daughter from a ledge. (COG)

Senesca, Zev
Zev grew up on Kestic Station, near Bestne. He and his parents were sympathetic to the Alliance, and worked to supply the Alliance with arms. When the Empire located the station and discovered their gun-running scheme, the Star Destroyer Merciless was sent to destroy the station. Zev, who had also supported the Alliance, was able to escape the destruction. However, he blamed the Alliance for the deaths of his parents, and set out on his own to become a free trader. After a few months of reflection, Zev realized that he had actually been responsible for the destruction of Kestic Station, after he learned that the leak of information had occurred when he had told a "friend" about the gun-running he was doing. So, he returned to fray and rejoined the Alliance soon after. He singlehandedly held off three TIE fighters during the Alliance's evacuation of the Alis Point base. He later served at the Alliance's Echo Base on Hoth, and was part of the Rogue Squadron of snowpseeder pilots, serving as Rogue Two under Luke Skywalker. It was Zev who found Han Solo and Commander Skywalker after they had been stuck outside all night, following a wampa attack that nearly claimed Skywalker's life. Unfortunately for the Alliance, Zev was killed shortly afterward, during the Battle of Hoth. (E5, SWSB, MTS, GG3)

Se'neth
This was the Tarasin word for any dream that was intepreted by a Mother to be a true vision of the future. The occurrence of a se'neth was a rare event, and signaled great events. During the Clone Wars, Mother Dariana experienced a se'neth in which she saw the tide of the war sweeping over Cularin, then the oppression of the Empire. Her vision also showed her a way that the Tarasin could survive, but only if they worked together. (LFCW)

Senex Lords
This was the term used to describe the leaders of the various royal houses that populated the Senex Sector of the galaxy. Like their neighbors in the Juvex Sector, the Senex Lords allied themselves with Roganda Ismaren, some eight years after the Battle of Endor, when she set in motion her plan to use the Eye of Palpatine to attack the New Republic. (NECH)

Senex Sector
An area of the galaxy found in the Outer Rim Territories, it had been ruled by a number of familial houses since it was first settled. It was located near the Juvex Sector and the Ninth Quadrant, and was connected to the rest of the galaxy by the Rimma Trade Route. During the Old Republic, Senex Sector was an independent entity that maintained its autonomous stance with the agreement of the Republic. The open acceptance of slavery by the many Houses that controlled the Senex Sector, especially Houses Vandron and Elegin, was what prevented the Republic from accepting Senex Sector as a full member of the Republic. (COJ, COD)

Senex System
Site of an Imperial Training Center during the Galactic Civil War. Alliance pilot Dev, during one of his training missions, ended up in the system and destroyed the fleet stationed there. (XW)

Senjorg, Babel
This Bith merchant was an associate of Ort Hoogra-D'En, and was wanted by the Empire for supplying the Ho'Din with plant material used to manufacture his spore bombs. He was killed when he booked passage to Celanon aboard the Chalcedony on Pallaxides, when the crew fell victims to the spores used by Hoogra-D'En in his bombs. One of the bombs was accidentally set off by a bumbling Rodian, killing the pilot of the Chalcedony and others aboard. The pilot managed to get the ship to Celanon, but expired before he could land it. The ship crashed, killing those aboard who were not already dead from the spores. Babel was listed among the dead. (ND)

This was the first planet in the Kessel System, and was a smoldering, boiling rock. Note that the Wizards of the Coast Planet Hoppers feature names this planet Salvo. (JASB, PH)

Sennari
This deadly poison was often used to coat the end of darts and arrows. Jodo Kast was one of the most well-known individuals to use it, although it was discovered that Jango Fett used Sennari to kill Zam Wesell decades earlier. In the years that followed the Clone Wars, slow-acting variants of Sennari were developed. These variants were just as deadly as the pure form, but took several hours to kill an individual. (TM, NEGW, RF3)

This planet was located near Kothlis. (FTD)

Sennes Mountains
This mountain range was located on the planet Rhinnal, just north of the city of Rhire and bounded by the Zirfan Glacier. (CCW)

Sennex Pirates
This group of space pirates, active during the last decades of the Old Republic, was known to have trafficked slaves of many different races. It was believed that the Sennex Pirates purchased Aurra Sing from the Dark Woman, after the young humanoid failed to adapt to Jedi training. For many years, the Sennex Pirates supplied Gardulla the Hutt with a steady stream of slaves, until Jabba the Hutt took over Gardulla's operations. At this point, the Sennex Pirates cut off their contract with the Hutts and tried to take over the slave trade themselves. They were unable to compete with the scope of Jabba's operations, and eventually returned to simple piracy. The Sennex Pirates continued to operate in the Outer Rim for many decades, and it was believed that they sold a prototype warhead to Jabba the Hutt, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Investigation by former Imperial Navy Chief Bast, who was now working as a spy, revealed that the warhead was an antique piece of technology that had been patched together to appear as if it were operable. For their bluster, the Sennex Pirates were nearly wiped out by Jabba altogether, although a few members managed to survive. (ASNG, SWGAL)

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

Senoti
Found on the Forest Moon of Endor, but native to the planet New Canistel, the senoti tree was held in near-sacred regard by the healers of the Ewok race. It was believed that the senoti was brought to Endor by a pair of Canistel AgriStar X-19 freighters which crashed into the moon. This theory was accepted by many, despite the fact that the few senoti trees that managed to take root on the Forest Moon did so in widely scattered locations. It required an alkaline soil in which to grow, and its watery sap had a number of medicinal values, including reduction of fevers and relief from pain. (GMR9)

SensAll
This active sensor array, manufactured by Siep-Irol, was used in the Explorer submergible. (CFG)

Sense
The second of the three Jedi Force skills, the ability to Sense was how a Jedi recognizes the Force in the universe around him. This flow of the Force tells the Jedi information about their surroundings. (SWSB, IJ)

SenseLights
This form of lighting was known for its hypnotic, mood-altering patterns and colors. The technology was developed by Lytos Urtell, who created them expressly for the Glow Dome on Adarlon. (WSV)

Senshi
This Ferroan was one of the leaders of the group which was coerced by Sekot to oppose the Magister, Jabitha, in an effort to test the true reasons Luke Skywalker and his Jedi Knights traveled to Zonama Sekot during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Senshi and his followers kidnapped Jabitha and Danni Quee and brought them to a rogue boras grove, drawing the Jedi to the grove for their final test. When Jacen questioned his motivations, Senshi revealed that he had lost most of his family in the many Crossings Zonama Sekot had done to avoid the rest of the galaxy. He refused to allow Jabitha to agree to helping the Jedi, an action which he believed would strip him once again of his friends and family. He was regarded as an individual who cared more for Zonama itself than Sekot, and had no desire to deal with outsiders. After Sekot had successfully tested the Jedi Knights to ensure that their mission was, indeed, a peaceful resolution to the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, the planetary sentience agreed to return to the galaxy and help the Jedi. Senshi was released from Sekot's control and accepted Sekot's decision, and eventually decided that the Jedi were worthy of his assistance. (FH3)

Sensis, Maxina
This eager, young xenoarchaeologist was attached to the New Republic's Daxis Outpost, where she was the Chief of Research. Before this posting, she had planned to work as a researcher for a Corporate Sector employer. However, when she saw the promotional holovid for the New Republic Scout Service, she was hooked. She was also a close friend and respected colleague of Korren Starchaser. So, when Starchaser and his scout team discovered The Gulch in the Serianan Asteroid Belt, he brought her in immediately to investigate. A native of the Parkis System, Maxina also had a vast knowledge of the history of galactic exploration. She hoped that further scout teams would venture to the Serianan asteroids, but had to wait until the New Republic supplied them. (SWJ8)

Sensislug
This small, insectile creature was actually a piece of Yuuzhan Vong technology, developed to serve as a remote listening device. When alerted to the presence of an intruder, the sensislug would exude a chemical as part of its normal respiration. This chemical caused most humanoid species to a deep sleep, rendering them unconscious for a short period of time. Upon awakening, humanoids experienced severe headaches, nausea, and irritation of the nasal membranes. (SBS, UF)

Sensor
Any of the various shipboard systems used to detect the presence of other ships or stellar bodies in the vicinity. There were many different kinds of sensors, including full-spectrum transceivers, electrophoto receptors, and hyperwave signal interceptors. (SCRE, SWSB)

Sensor Blind
Unlike traditional countermeasures which try to conceal an object or interfere with sensor operation, sensor blinds attempt to disguise an object by emitting energy patterns to make it appear natural. (HAS)

Sensor Decoy
This starship countermeasures system ejected a remote, probe-like device in the wake of the parrent ship. The probe then emitted the same broadcast signals as the parent ship, allowing the parent ship to run silent. Any pursuing ships would pick up the signals of the sensor decoy and follow them, believing that they were actually tracking the parent ship. Sensor decoys were virtually impossible to determine, and allowed the parent ship to escape from a potentially deadly firefight. (SWSB, SWG2P)

Sensor Pallet
A starship's complete scanning system, the sensor pallet consists of all the sensory systems employed by a starship. (SS)

Sensor Shroud
This array of sensor jamming devices was developed as a form of cloaking system during the New Republic. It masked a ship's emissions while providing information about the ship's immediate location. (EVC)

Sensor Spike
This was the generic term used to describe the pointed housings that were used to protect a building-monuted installation of a sensor suite. These sensor spikes could be plain and unadorned, or given elaborate carvings and sculpting to make them appear to be part of the surrounding architecture. (LJ8)

Sensor Star
This five-armed, aquatic mollusk was native to the planet F'tral. The five arms surrounded a central body section, which was studded with a number of sensory appendages. They live in groups of 20-30 individuals, using their collection of arms to herd small reptiles, fish, and insects. They seem to communicate via a series of subsonic tones which were inaudible to most humanoid races, but could be detected using specialized equipment. Scientists discovered that the "language" of the sensor stars included combinations of tones for concepts like "emergency," "storm," and "food." This allowed determined groups to actually use the sensor star as a primitive sensor system. (COG)

Sensor Stealth
Another term for running a starship without generating any emissions, in order to escape detection. This requires the ship to run on main battery power, and was extremely power-consuming. If the main generators were not put back online soon, the ship will be adrift without life support. (SWSB)

Sensor Suite
Another term for a sensor pallet, it denotes a starship's complete scanning system. (HSE)

Sensorscope
This full-spectrum transceiver was used in many droids, primarily the R2 series. It includes electro-photoreceptors, dedicated energy receptors, and heat and motion sensors. The sensorscope interfaces directly with the Intellex IV internal computer, which processes the data received. (CCG4)

Sensory Impulse Line
This was the name given to the synthetic nerves that were used in the production on cybernetic prostheses, to give an individual a sense of touch. Sensory impulse lines were placed just beneath the covering of the prosthesis, and provided electronic signals that mimicked real sense of touch. (LLOW)

Sensory Plug-in
A device which allows a droid to interface with computers, sensors, and other data systems. (SME)

Senso-Switch
This was a casino coin game that was popualr during the early years of the New Order. (HSE)

Sentar, Zuulan
This Gran slaver was captured on the Matale Grounds, on the planet Dantooine, during the height of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)

Sentarr Laboratories
This small research facility was owned by Sentarr, Incorporated. They barely turned a profit on paper, and were continually subsidized by their parent company. In reality, Sentarr produced no real breakthroughs. It was merely a front for Sentarr's smuggling operations, which specialized the in the acquisition and sale of rare animal species on the black market. (SPG)

Senth
This was the nineteenth symbol in the Aurebesh script, and represents the Basic letter "s". (SWM)

Sentient Beings Opposing Violence
This organization was founded during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, to raise awareness of the growing violence that was occurring in the galaxy, and to "eliminate or resolve aggression and violence whenever possible, throughout the galaxy." Though considered small by galactic terms, the SBOV was well-funded, and counted dozens of diplomats and mediators on their roster. The SBOV became more prominent after the Battle of Geonsis, as the Clone Wars began to tear the galaxy apart. Despite their ideals of resolving conflicts through peaceful means, the SBOV held little regard for the Jedi Order, primarily because of their continued use of lightsabers. The SBOV also argued that the Jedi used the Force to brainwash other beings into allowing them to take their children away from them, virtually enslaving the children while training them to become Jedi. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, the leaders of the SBOV agreed to meeting with Jedi Master Kirlocca on the cruise ship Luxury, to discuss a more mutual relationship between their respective organizations. The discussion was interrupted by the Dark Jedi known as Raik Muun, who attempted to use several t'salaks to implicate the Almas Academy in the attack. (FOC3)

Sentient Overlay
This was a layer of programming that was installed in all self-aware droids, including protocol droids. Within the computer system that controlled the droid, the sentient overlay sat above the coding found in the basic programming kernel, or BPK, and provided the droid with the ability to interact with living beings. (CN3)

Sentient Property Crime Bureau
This was a special division of the Phindar police force that was focused on the illegal seizure and resale of "personality-bearing artifacts", or droids. (YDR)

Sentient Tank

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

Sentinel
Huge beings used to guard the Emperor's palace on Byss, the Sentinels first appeared when the Emperor had hunted down and captured Ashka Boda. In essence, a Sentinel was a former human which had been augmented and enhanced through Sith alchemies, and many were created from tissue stock of other powerful humans. The Sentinels materialized on the battlefield and escorted the fallen Jedi Master to Coruscant. Since then, wild speculation had surrounded the unknown origins of the Sentinels. They are, in fact, clones which have been mutated by the Emperor's Dark Side Adepts. Odd chemicals and the Dark Side of the Force twist the poor beings into slaves that obey the Adepts until they were destroyed. (DE1, DESB, DSSB)

Sentinel
This was one of the many Interdictor-class cruisers that made up Grand Admiral Thrawn's fleet of warships, during the early years of the New Republic. It served as one of the many Interdictors used by Thrawn to draw Republic forces out of space just outside the Bilbringi System, during the events that led up to the Battle of Bilbringi. (TLC)

Sentinel
One of three Bakura-class destroyers deployed by Hortel Ossilege, in an effort to assist the New Republic in breaking the blockade of the Corellian System. It was one of four ships, along with the Intruder, Watchkeeper, and Defender, that were built specifically for the defense of the Bakura System, in the wake of the Battle of Bakura. After the decisive battle against the Sacorrian Triad, only the Sentinel and the Defender survived to return to their postings as part of Bakura's defense. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Bakuran people were again invaded by the Ssi-Ruuk, although this time it was disguised as a peace offering from the P'w'eck. The Sentinel was refitted to accommodate the droid fighters of the P'w'eck, as part of a joint effort to "protect" the Bakuran System. (AS, CTD, FH2)

Sentinel
This Victory-class Star Destroyer was part of the Imperial fleet which patrolled the Wroona System during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (PSG)

Sentinel
This immense beast was found on the planet Alashan. Roughly humanoid in shape, the Sentinel stood well over two meters in height, and had crustacean-like armor plating protecting its body. When it was attacked by agents of both the Alliance and the Empire, the Sentinel showed a remarkable resilience to energy weapons and physical damage, surviving even when it was caught beneath several tons of rubble in an explosion. The Sentinel could also be summoned instantly to another part of the city, and had the ability to alter its size to fit its environment. Luke Skywalker later discovered that the Sentinel creature was a beast of pure energy, created by the ancient inhabitants of Alashan to protect their underground city. When the controls panels which maintained the underground city were destroyed, the Sentinel creature lost much of its power, as its connection to the planet's own energy was broken. Luke then dispatched the Sentinel with a stab of his lightsaber. (MCI6, MCI7)

Sentinel
This style of lightsaber hilt was common among the new order of Jedi Knights who were trained by Luke Skywalker during the height of the New Republic. The Sentinel was shorter than most hilts, with a conical endcap securing the power cell inside the hilt, and a pointed emitter shroud protecting the wielder from any backwash of energy. (JKAP)

Sentinel 100
This device allowed stock brokers and individual investors to monitor galactic stock markets, provided they were within the device's range to access and download information. (GFT)

Sentinel Beetle
This small insect was engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong. They were bred in huge numbers, and were created to beat their wings furiously when an intruder was encountered. The wing-song created sounded like an alarm, and alerted the Yuuzhan Vong to the intruder's presence. (DTO)

Sentinel IV
This heavy blaster pistol was produced by the Caelli-Merced Syndicate. (BSS)

Sentinel Squadron
This stormtrooper squadron was part of the forces dispatched to Tatooine to protect Prefect Talmont, shortly after the Battel of Yavin. (MEAS)

Sentinel-class Armored Shuttle
see Sentinel-class Landing Craft (LF7)

Sentinel-class Landing Craft
This Sienar Fleet Systems' design was derived from the Lambda-class shuttle, retaining the Lambda's triple-wing design. As with the Lambda, the Sentinel's two lower wings folded during landing. The Sentinel differed from the Lambda in terms of cargo space and weapons. There were eight retractable laser cannons mounted on the hull, two concussion missile launchers, a retractable ion cannon, and a pair of retractable repeating blaster cannons mounted beneath the cockpit. This weapons system of retractable mounts meant the Sentinel-class was sleek and aerodynamic when swift transport was needed, but it could handle its own in a fight. The Sentinel also had enhanced armor plating for defense.

The 20-meter-long central section of the Sentinel was widened and elongated to allow for the transport of up to 54 soldiers and six speeder bikes. If all seats were removed, the ship could accommodate up to thirty-six speeder bikes, twelve combat assault vehicles, or 180 metric tons of cargo. The Sentinel-class shuttle was equipped with a Class 1 hyperdrive for speed, and it could attain speeds of 1,000 kilometers per hour in atmosphere with its HD7 engine array. The Sentinel-class was introduced after the Battle of Yavin, but never became widely used in the Imperial fleet. Following the Battle of Endor, SFS allowed Cygnus SpaceWorks to build their own version of the Sentinel, and the craft became available to private, pro-Imperial concerns. In this way, it also found its way into New Republic fleets via front companies. The Sentinel-class lander proved to be a durable vessel, and many of them continued to be used for decades. Many of them were still in use as part of the naval forces of the Galactic Alliance, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. (EGV, SWSE, CCG9, MTSE, NEGV, LF1, LF7)

Sentinel-class Military Cruiser
This class of warships was developed during the early years of the New Order, as a larger ship capable of leading raids on enemy positions without taking a pounding. (WOA34)

Sen'tra
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word meant "jetpack." (OWS)

Sentry Gun
This was the term used to describe a class of small, automated turrets that were armed with blaster or laser cannons, and which could be programmed to fire on nearby targets. The original sentry guns were developed for use by the Empire, primarily for defending prisons, garrisons, and other important facilities. (NEGW)

Senvi, Nico
This man was one of Tatooine's more skilled swoop racers, during the era of the Great Sith War. Motta the Hutt wanted to hire Nico as a professional racer, but was only willing to pay him a small salary. A wandering Jedi Knight was able to negotiate on Nico's behalf, and managed to secure a higher salary. (KOTOR)

Senwannus'gourkahipaff
Known as Sen for short, this huge Oswaft was the senior Elder in the Oswaft society when Lando Calrissian first met Lehesu, during the early years of the New Order. Sen measured just over 1,000 meters in width, making him the largest Oswaft in the ThonBoka. During the Imperial blockade of the ThonBoka, he played sabacc with Lando as Lando outlined a plan to break the blockade. Being somewhat more forward-thinking than his counterparts, Sen agreed with Lando's plan to fight back without violence, and helped break the blockade in the end. Sen then asked Lehesu to become one of the rulers of the Oswaft society, fearing that his conservative nature almost cost them their lives. The apostrophe in his name represented twelve other syllables in his name, which he was too modest to use. During the defense of the ThonBoka, Sen was among a group of Oswaft who were caught by the first blast from the Wennis, which fired some of the deadly bio-engineered weapon that had been developed by Rokur Gepta. Sen and his comrades were killed in the blast. (LCS)

Senzen, Tamvar
This woman was living on her homeworld of Naboo during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Seoul
Tapper Quelev's alias when he and Talon Kaarde tried to infiltrate the Morodin safari business of Gamgalon while on Tropis-on-Varont. (EGC)

Seoul 5
This ancient world was once the homeworld of the Seoulian race. It was believed that much of the planet had been destroyed by a biochemical weapon during a war many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. However, the Empire discovered the planet and established a base there, during the years leading up to the Battle of Endor. The base was eventually discovered by Han Solo, who obtained the coordinates of Seoul 5 while gambling with a former Imperial scout. (MC84)

Seoulian
This ancient race of beings lived on the planet Seoul 5, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. They were believed to have used highly-specialized crystals to harness their mental energies, which were channeled to an underground location and used to power every device on the planet. The Empire employed Doctor Xathan and Fem Nu-Ar to locate Seoul 5, hoping to acquire this mental technology for its own uses. However, the key crystal had been taken years earlier, during the initial scouting survey, by an Imperial officer who had since retired. He lost the crystal to Han Solo while gambling, and Solo traveled to Seoul 5 to see what it could do. He replaced the crystal, setting off a chain reaction which unleashed thousands of years of stored energy that ripped the control center to pieces. (MC84)

Seoulian
This form of large hieroglyphs was used by the Seoulians, the ancient inhabitants of the planet Seoul 5. (MC84)

Sep
This was the Snivvian word for "yes." (HNN5)

Sep, Xephi
A renowned kinesculpture artist. (RM)

Sep Elopon
see Sep Elopor (GORW)

Sep Elopor
This ringed gas giant was the seventh planet in the Calamari System. Some thirty-two moons were known to orbit the planet. Note that The Unifying Force indicates that Sep Elopor was the outermost planet in the Calamari System, although Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds lists two ice-covered worlds in further orbits. (UF, GORW)

S-EP1
This humorous-looking droid was one of the New Republic's most effective anti-terrorist weapons. Known as a "Sleepy" unit, these humanoid automatons were manufactured by Ulban Arms to serve as a personal security droid. The S-EP1 combined the best facets of the Warden 10-24 and the Hound-W2 SPD, and was equipped with an Arjan IV logic computer and a database filled with battle tactics, criminal profiles, and emergency and medical routines. The S-EP1 wasn't armed with blaster weapons, but instead had a stun-gas canister installed in its torso to incapacite a target and was sold with a stun staff. Their eccentric appearance belied the S-EP1's ability to use deadly force, if necessary, to stop a criminal. (EGD)

S-EP1
This was Leia Organa-Solo's personal security droid. She nicknamed it Sleepy. (SOL)

Sepan
This was a common name used to describe the planet Sepan 8. (TIEP)

Sepan 8
This planet, located in the Sepan System, was the planned site of meeting between the leaders of the Ripoblus and Dimok governments, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. Imperial leaders had been working to control the system by putting an end to the Sepan Civil War, but their efforts only served to anger both sides of the conflict, and unite them against a common emeny. The politicians had planned to meet to discuss a joint offensive against the Empire, but Imperial Intelligence agents learned of the meeting and were able to launch a mission to disrupt any discussions. (TIE, TIEP)

Sepan Civil War
A protracted internal battle between the Dimoks and the Ripoblus, the Sepan Civil War first broke out some five years before the Clone Wars. Despite the efforts of the Jedi Knights Empatajayos Brand, Bultar Swan, and Chellemi Chuovvick, the two sides were unable to make any sort of lasting peace. The civil war dragged on for many years, throughout most of the era of the New Order. Following the Imperial victory at Hoth, the Empire began expanding its control over these sorts of warring systems. The Empire intervened in the civil war, with the Dimoks opposing them while the Ripoblus tended to welcome their presence. However, growing Imperial domination forced both sides to drop their gripes with each other and band together against the Empire. Both sides were defeated, and the civil war was believed to have been ended. However, when the Galactic Alliance and The Confederation entered into a galaxy-spanning war, the Ripoblus once again attacked the Dimoks, starting the war all over again. They believed that the Galactic Alliance would be too busy elsewhere to worry about one more battle. (TIE, HNN4, LF5, TIEP)

Sepan System
This planetary system was home to the Dimoks and Ripoblus. (TIE)

Sepan Wars
This was another name for the Sepan Civil War, although many historians used it to describe the entire history of the fighting between the Ripoblus and the Dimok cultures. (LF5)

Separahtee
This Huttese term was used to describe a member of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, often known simply as a Separatist. (CWYN)

Separatism
This was the term used to describe the social and political beliefs of Count Dooku and the Separatists that formed the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Separatism embraced the notion that a central, galaxy-spanning government was no longer required, as evidenced by the bloated and largely ineffectual nature of the Galactic Senate. According to Dooku, Coruscant had become not only the center of the galaxy, but the paragon of politics, at least in the minds of the Senators. Any star system that refused to live by its ideals was accused of being undemocratic. The systems that wanted to leave the Galactic Republic were deemed anarchists, and their leaders were shunned as tyrants. Dooku chafed at the fact that the Republic outwardly embraced the uniqueness of its members, but refused to let this uniqueness upset the Senate's insular view of the galaxy.

Dooku's own personal experience with the Jedi Order, and its increasingly sheltered view of the galaxy, also helped formed the origins of Separatism. Where the Jedi Knights were once the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, they had become little more than the puppets of the Galactic Senate. The Jedi could no longer focus on ensuring that every being was protected, and was forced to carry out the missions that were approved by the Senate. (CWN)

Separatist Alliance
This was another name for the Council of Separatists and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. (CWTV14)

Separatist Boarding Craft
Designed to look like the toothspike raptor of Colla IV, this spike-shaped vessel was used by the droid forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems to board another starship. When approaching an enemy vessel, the boarding craft's spike-shaped prow split into four sharp parts that could be driven into the enemy ship by powerful sublight drives. Hidden within the four prongs was a hatchway that the boarding party could use to enter the enemy ship. (CWVG)

Separatist Council
see Council of Separatists (NEGA)

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

Separatist Movement
This was the historical term used to describe the political movement begun by the former Jedi Knight, Count Dooku, in response to the growing corruption and stagnation that affected the Galactic Senate during the final years of the Old Republic. The Separatist Movement began shortly after the Battle of Naboo, when Dooku left the Jedi Order and reappeared on Raxus Prime. Outwardly, Dooku believed that the Old Republic no longer functioned for the good of the galaxy, and advocated the secession of worlds from the Republic, during the years leading up to the Clone War. Together, Dooku and the Separatists drove a wedge into the aleady-crumbling Republic. Thousands of star systems allied themselves with Dooku and the Separatists, who promised completely free trade to any group, corporation, or government which agreed to support them. Funding was secretly provided by the Commerce Guild and the InterGalactic Banking Clan, and war materiel was provided by the Trade Federation.

This build-up was discovered by Obi-Wan Kenobi when he tracked Jango Fett to Geonosis. Kenobi's report prompted Jedi Master Yoda to gather the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic and make a stand on Geonosis. The Battle of Geonosis became known as the opening battle of the Clone Wars, and although the Republic was victorious, Dooku managed to escape and began re-consolidating his base of power. As many star systems chose to leave the Republic in the wake of the Battle of Geonosis, the Separatist Movement was reformed as the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Although the tide of the Clone Wars seemed to go in favor of the Separatist forces for many months, the Grand Army of the Republic finally managed to begin scoring victories. Droid factories were destroyed, cutting off the seemingly endless supply of battle droids that had been protecting the Separatists. In order to protect the various leaders of the Council of Separatists, Dooku ordered his half-alien/half-droid commander General Grievous to secret the leaders away on remote planets like Utapau and Mustafar.

The deaths of Count Dooku during the First Battle of Coruscant and General Grievous on Utapau left the Separatists without a true leader. When Chancellor Palpatine revealed himself to be Darth Sidious, he ordered his new apprentice - Anakin Skywalker - to travel to Mustafar and eliminate the Separatist leaders. Skywalker's vicious slaughter put an end to the Separatist threat, but only sealed the fate of the galaxy as Palpatine named himself Emperor. In the speech in which Palpatine declared himself Emperor and formed the Galactic Empire, he claimed that the Separatist threat had been originally formed as a traitorous union between the Jedi Order and a handful of seditious Senators. (HNN4, E2N, VD2, IS3, SWI84, RFDV, LLOW)

Separatist Union
This was one of the most active subgroups of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Separatist Union was a mobile operation, allowing it to avoid detection while it gathered information from the battlefronts of the Clone Wars. Much of this information was disseminated via the CIS Shadowfeed, and occasionally was sliced into the Old Republic's HoloNet. (SWI76)

Separatists
This was the term used to describe those beings who supported the Separatist Movement led by Count Dooku, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (HNN4, E2N)

Separatists
This was the term used to describe those natives of the planet Ord Mantell who wanted to secede from the galactic government, in the wake of the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant. The separatists on Ord Mantell had been active throughout the era known as the Great Galactic War, staging protests and guerrilla attacks on Republic bases on the planet. The fact that the Republic agreed to sign the Treaty of Coruscant - turning control over to the Sith Empire, even after the Sith murdered the Supreme Chancellor in cold blood - gave the separatists more reason to retreat from galactic politics. The emergence of the Sith as the primary holders of power prompted more beings to join the separatist movement on Ord Mantell, especially when the planetary leaders decided to remain loyal to the remnants of the Republic. The separatist guerrillas stepped up their attacks, forcing the Republic to draw off valuable military assets to protect its investment on the planet. (SWORW)

Sepen, Vega
This Corellian woman, distinguished by her reddish hair and green eyes, served as the first officer aboard the No Luck Required during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When she was fifteen, her parents had been killed in a reactor meltdown on the planet Eriadu, and Vega had stowed away on a smuggler's ship in order to escape the life of an orphan. She earned her passage after defeating the ship's first mate in a vibrodagger battle, and spend many years learning the ropes as a smuggler. She even worked for a brief time aboard the Free Lance for Urias Xhaxin, before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion began. After the Free Lance was nearly destroyed, Xhaxin turned his crew loose, and Vega decided that she had better do everything she could to save her galaxy. She volunteered for the military, but couldn't handle the attitude adjustment she was forced to make. Thus, she decided to join Search and Rescue, and ended up with Uldir's crew. As a member of the Search and Rescue Corp, she was known for her gruff demeanor, but was nevertheless loyal to her crewmates. (GMR10, EOV, SWI62)

Sephi
This humanoid race was native to the planet Thustra. Outwardly, the Sephi were similar in appearance to human stock, but had a thick spiral of hair-like material that grew from the crown of the skulls. This spiral was a source of personal pride for individual Sephi, who placed gemstones and other adornments into the spiral as it grew. The ears of a Sephi were large and close to the head, with tall points and drooping lobes. The chin was similar in many respects to the spiral on top of their heads, growing into a thick point as a Sephi aged. The Sephi were a long-lived species, with elder individuals living for more than 200 years. (J5)

SEPI Principle
According to many bounty hunting guilds, the SEPI Principle breaks any hunt down into four key phases: selection, evaluation, preparation, and implementation. (GG10)

Seppie
This slang term was used during the Clone Wars to indicate a person who was part of the Separatist movement. (SHPT)

Sept
This was the name used by the Selonians to describe individual units within a den. All offspring sired by the same fertile male were considered part of the sept. (AE)

Septaas
This immense human was a member of Marl Semtin's special forces stormtrooper battalion. Septaas accompanied Sixtus Quin to Ryloth, where they were involved in virtual combat with Rogue Squadron by Cazne'Olan. The Imperials defeated the Rogues, but the simulation resulted in a no-contest when Cazne'Olan wiped out all combatants in a firestorm. Upon returning to Tatooine, Septaas defected to the New Republic when Sixtus Quin exposed Semtin's treachery. (XWBT)

Septapus
A seven-tentacled seas creature native to Z'trop, the septapus was a herbivorous creature with five glowing eyes. They were timid in nature, contrary to the fact that Han Solo claims to have been attacked by one in the past. (MMY)

Septevorres System
This star system, located in the Outer Rim, had three stars at its center. (GG9)

Septoid
An insect native to the planet Eriadu. (CCG)

Septsilk
This wondrous fabric was used to make expensive robes. (DH, CVD)

Sepulchral Ruby
This ancient artifact was first noted in the histories of the planet Utapau some 57,000 years before the Clone Wars, although its original meaning was lost over time. Modern Utapauns maintained iconic images of the Sepulchral Ruby, as an homage to their ancient ancestors. (X3)

Seqours, Bon
This tall, dashing man was a frequent patron of the Farrimmer Café. He was an imposing man, standing well over two meters in height and wearing a well-polished blaster at his hip. He was known to be a friend to members of the Alliance, remaining neutral himself but doing what he could help the cause. He once pulled off an incredible heist, stealing a wealth of valuable coins and relics from a crimelord by the name of Randar Dowellin. Unfortunately for Bon, the crimelord had laced many of the pieces with a chemical tracer, and sent out a team of bounty hunters to recover the relics and Bon's body - dead or alive. Luckily for Bon, he discovered that the chemical tracer could be neutralized by liberal use of Harmon Kizzlebrew, which he drank whenever he was out in public. (SWJ11)

Sequal
This was one of the largest moons that orbited the planet Kidron. Like its sister, Primor, Segual's make-up was loaded with valuable ores and minerals. The Orfites of Kidron kept this fact a well-guarded secret. (PG3)

Sequat
This rare shellfish was native to the oceans of Alderaan. The shells of the sequat were collected and used to create wondrous bracelets and necklaces. Because of the rarity of the sequat, these pieces of jewelry commanded high prices. (CN2)

Sequencer Charge
This portable mine was designed to be placed on the ground or near doors. Activated by time-delay or promixity sensors, the sequencer charge had much more destructive capability than a thermal detonator or IM mine. (DF2, DF2P)

Sera
This man was a scientist who worked for Karflo Corporation, and he was a contemporary of Trem DeSelvaine. They were also intense rivals, and both had been warned by Karflo executives to tone down their struggles to outdo each other. While DeSelvaine was discovering everything he could about the Polydroxol people, Sera developed a toxin which Administrator Renerdat approved for use in killing the Polydroxol on their homeworld of Sevetta. It was rumored that Polly, the Polydroxol individual DeSelvaine studied, killed Sera and everyone aboard their research station during its attempt to escape. (SWJ12)

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

Sera
This was one of the most common female names among the Corellians. (GMR9)

Serap, Janelle
This female Seikoshan was one of the most powerful crimelords on the planet Seikoska, during the early years of the New Republic. She tried to get her hands on the droid R1-T4, which had been shipped to her by Simms Jonndril, but the smugglers who transported it balked on their agreement and turned the droid over to Kade Darven and the New Republic. (POC)

Seraph
This was the name of a series of landspeeders produced by SoroSuub Corporation during the last decades of the Old Republic. Measuring 4.5 meters in length, the Seraph could accommodate a pilot and a single passenger, with up to ten kilograms of cargo. It was best known for its speed and solid handling, factors that made it an excellent choice for the Naboo Flash speeder. (SON, NEGV)

Seraphan Industries
This corporation active during the height of the New Order, until Illyan Webble was lost on Kalkovak. (UYV)

Serapis
see Seripas (CWTV39)

This alien race was native to the planet Serat. (COG)

Serbo-bracket
This component of a repulsorlift engine was used to aqdjust the suspension properties of a landspeeder. (CFG)

Serdo
This Twi'lek was the original owner of the Firerider. He was regarded as a respectable and reputable businessbeing, providing transport services to local and Imperial officials, which helped cover his more clandestine role as spice smuggler. After making his fortune, Serdo retired, and sold the Firerider to Fizzi's Slightly Used Ships on Trevi IV. (SS)

Seregar

Then-Admiral Thrawn tried to trap Admiral Zaarin near this planet by leaking false fleet movements involving it. (TIE)

Serenity Table
This was a large table that was developed for use in conference rooms. It's shape was meant to convey a sense of unity to everyone around it. (DN1)

Serenno
This planet, located on the border between the Mid Rim and the Outer Rim Territories, was one of the waelthiest planets of the Old Republic. Serenno's noble families were also among the most prominent supporters of separatist groups that wanted to split away from the Old Republic, a situation that had been prevalent since before the New Sith Wars. (HNN4, DBRT)

Sereno
This Tof Prince was the leader of the invasion force sent to take control of the planet Saijo, some months after the Battle of Endor. It was Sereno who allied the Tofs with Lumiya, especially after she flattered him with long-winded reasons about why she abandoned the Nagai in her pursuit of the destruction of the Alliance of Free Planets. Prince Sereno was distinguished from most other Tofs by his coifured, white-powdered hair. Sereno was eventually captured and held for questioning. (MC107)

Sergar, Voria
This young girl was abandoned by her slave master on the planet Lok, during the height of the New Order. She was rescued by Isnal Roran and nursed back to health by the members of an Alliance cell on Lok. Thus, it seemed only natural for her to join the Alliance when she was healthy. She became a skilled slicer and computer technician, and she quickly gained ranks among her peers. Unfortunately, she was killed during a mission that took her back to Lok, when she was unable to dodge a missile launched at her vessel by an Imperial patrol craft. One entire quadrant of space within the Karthakk System was named Voria's Ember, in her honor. (SWGAL)

This was the name of the northeastern desert found on the planet Escabar. (COG)

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

Serial Torpedo
A form of missile used by the Alliance during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (MC16)

Serianan Asteroid Belt
This incredibly large belt of debris was located within the Serianan System of the Outer Rim Territories. It was situated between the first planet, Serias, and the outer three worlds, but constitutes more than half the star system's overall size. Scouts from the New Republic, led by Korren Starchaser, discovered that the asteroids were most likely the result of several planetary collisions, rather than randomly collected space debris. Many of the asteroids were marked with huge glyphs and runes. Located within the belt was a huge asteroid that contains the formation known as the Gulch. (SWJ8)

Serias
This planet, the first in the Serianan System of the Outer Rim, was the only habitable planet in the system. In between Serias and the three outermost worlds was an enormous asteroid belt which took up more than half the star system. Sensor readings provided by Korren Starchaser and his team of scouts indicate the the asteroid belt was formed as a result of several planetary collisions. Within the belt of asteroids was a huge planetoid that contained the Gulch. (SWJ8)

Series 12
This was a generic name used to describe the GAT-12 series of blastboats that was produced by Sienar Fleet Systems, during the height of the New Order. (LF9)

Series 24
This was the generic term used to describe the Skipray 24r Blastboat and its companions models, which were produced by Sienar during the years following the Swarm War. These ships were larger and better-armed than the Series 12 ships that were produced during the era of the New Order. (LF9)

Series 4 E-Wing
This was the fourth-generation model of the E-Wing starfighter, developed for use by the New Republic Navy after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. These starfighters saw extensive duty during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. This version allowed for the use of an R2-series astromech droid, instead of an R7 unit, allowing for greater flexibility in the use of droid assistants. The Series 4 E-Wing was refitted to utilize more stable blaster gas and a dedicated power generation system for the weapons, in an effort to overcome the problems experienced with the original E-Wing fighters. (SBS, NEGV)

Series 401 Hyperdrive Motivator
This top-of-the-line starship component was produced by Isu-Sim during the early years of the New Republic. Han Solo had one of these units installed in the Millennium Falcon. (BTS, MF)

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

Series III
This blaster pistol was manufactured by the Caelli-Merced Syndicate. It was only available for sale on Socorro, or through the black market. (BSS)

Series IV Picket Ship
This large starship was manufactured by Cindev during the last years of the Old Republic. (HXW)

Serim
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word meant "accurate" or "correct." (OWS)

Serimerl
This near-human woman was a mystery to everyone, even the Hutts who employed her. Jabba and his underlings gave her the name "Serimerl," a term which denoted her allegiance to the Hutts. Jabba placed her at the head of one of his dummy organizations, and Serimerl quickly proved to be a loyal worker. Upon Jabba's death, she was unable to take a large part of the Hutt's empire. However, she commanded a great deal of loyalty, and she decided to make life hard for the Alliance and the fledgling New Republic, in an effort to avenge Jabba's death at the hands of Leia Organa. She and her followers assassinated many high-ranking officials of the New Republic, creating an undercurrent of mistrust and discontent among many member worlds. (GG11)

Serimir
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian verb meant "to be right" or "to be accurate." (OWS)

Serinas, Bal
This gray-skinned woman was one of the Dark Jedi who rose to power during the early years of the New Republic. (SWRPG)

Serinus, Bal
This woman was a former Jedi Knight who became a devotee of the Dark Side of the Force when her fears overcame her patience. She was quick to draw her lightsaber in an effort to solve problems, and did so out of fear of being killed herself. She angered a Hutt crimelord by accidentally killing his accountant, and she became indignant that she killed the man out of ignorance. She set out to kill the Hutt and his bounty hunters for "inconveniencing" her. She was later captured before she could kill the Hutt, but escaped and wiped out the Hutt and his entire court, taking only one prisoner: her jailor. She tried to sell the alien to another Hutt, but was forced to outdo the actions of Set Harth to win the Hutt's attention. She fought the other Dark Side adept to a draw, and both were imprisoned by the Hutt. (DSSB)

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

Serissu
This apparently human woman, distinguished by the violet veil she always wore over her lower face, was one of the primary dealers of starships found on Tansarii Point Station, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. (SWGAL)

Serku
This male Hamadryas worked as one of Fraig's bodyguards on Kuat, during the years following the Swarm War. (LF5)

Sermeria
This planet was a prominent agricultural world in the Expansion Region of the galaxy, during the era of the New Sith War. The planet was beset by stone mites, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The infestation was caught early, preventing any serious damage to the urban areas of the planet. (OWS, HNN5, DBRT)

Sermerian
This was the term used to describe the human inhabitants of the planet Sermeria. (DBRT)

Sermerian Bio-League
This group, funded by the planetary government of Sermeria during the last decades opf the Old Republic, was repsonsible for addressing and eliminating an biological or chemical threat to the planet or its environment. (HNN4)

Sermerian First House
Located in the capital city of Addolis, on the planet Sermeria, this building served as the seat of the planetary government. (HNN4)

Sern Prime
This planet, the capital world of the Sern Sector of the galaxy, was a member of the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. (SWI75, SWDB)

Sernpidal
This planet, the third in the Julevian System, was the most populated planet in its Outer Rim sector. This made it the first major strike along the Yuuzhan Vong's Vector Prime. It had two moons: a huge moon, nearly one-fifth the size of Sernipdal itself; and Dobido, which only measured twenty kilometers in diameter. The Yuuzhan Vong placed a dovin basal in the center of Sernpidal City and used it to draw Dobido into an ever-closer orbit. Eventually, Dobido crashed into Sernpidal, destroying both worlds. The impact stripped away huge portions of Sernpidal's surface, completely burned away its atmosphere, and created a belt of large planetoids in its orbit. However, this did not diminish the usefulness of the planet to the Yuuzhan Vong. They brought in a swarm of snail-like creatures to refine the larger chunks into usable materials, and set about constructing a huge warship from the rubble. The Yuuzhan Vong referred to this construction as a shipwomb. This shipwomb was later destroyed by the forces of the New Republic, who had been acting on intelligence gathered by Kyp Durron. However, Durron knew that the Republic would not willingly destroy a life-bearing ship, so he lied to them and told them that the shipwomb was a kind of superweapon. Heis words brought back memories of the two Death Stars, and the Republic agreed to destroy it. Kyp's actions drove a spike into his relationship with Jaina Solo, who had begun to think of Kyp as something of a friend and mentor. (VP, DTR, EVR, NJOSB)

Sernpidal City
The capital of the planet Sernpidal, this city was the impact site of the moon Dobido, when the Yuuzhan Vong sought to destroy the planet. The mayor of the city, a wisened old man, discovered the location of a dovin basal placed in the city to draw Dobido into position to strike sernpidal. He was helped by Han and Anakin Solo. When he realized that there was nothing they could do to stop Dobido's impending strike, the mayor took a thermal detonator and destroyed the creature, giving his life to provide extra time to evacuate his people. (VP)

Jun Seros owned a small diner in a rough part of the spaceport city, and was forced to pay Jabba the Hutt "protection money" in order to survive. A group of Alliance operatives were able to break Jabba's hold on Seros' operations, freeing the Whiphid to operate fully for the Alliance. To his customers, Jun was a jovial being who genuinely liked the company of others, and who sometimes traded a free meal for news of the galaxy. (RESB)

Serp
A reptilian species native to the planet Serphidi, the Serps were a humanoid race. The males of the species were characterized by their red scales and their toothy maws, which were filled with row of needle-sharp teeth. A heavy ridge of bony scales ran along the crown of their skulls, protecting their eyes. Females were more subtly colored, with orange scales. Where the male face was flat, the female Serps had a pronounced snout, and lacked the eyebrow ridges of the males. Many centuries before the New Order, the Serps were a highly-evolved race, and had developed superior technologies. However, the advances of this technology led to a series of civil wars in which various tribes fought against each other for control of technology. Eventually, a peace accord was signed among the tribes, and leadership was given to a single King. Violence was relegated to jousting and other contests which proved an individual's combat skills, until King S'Shah took control and began using certain forbidden forms of technology to turn the jousting contests into death matches, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. (MC64)

Serpa
This man served as a Major in the Galactic Alliance Guard, during the height of the Galactic Alliance's conflict with The Confederation. Known for his no-nonsense approach, Major Serpa was chosen by Jacen Solo to lead the team of GAG soldiers that was dispatched to the planet Ossus, ostensibly to protect the younglings at the Jedi training facility located there. In reality, Jacen's plan was to hold the students hostage until he could gain the upper hand with the Jedi Grand Master, Luke Skywalker.

Distinguished by his long, thin nose and sunken eyes, Major Serpa took his loyalty and devotion to the GAG to a high level, to the point that he would have threatened to kill the Jedi younglings if his orders - which came from Jacen Solo himself - were not obeyed. When the Jedi tried to defend themselves and retake the compound, Serpa gathered up a small group of students and held them hostage. He shot Tionne in the leg when she tried to approach him, in an effort to prove that he was willing to do anything to carry out his orders. He then first blasts to sever her leg and one arm, hoping to draw out the older Jedi and force them to surrender.

When he was confronted by Jaina Solo, Serpa was forced to take a young girl named Vekki hostage, holding the girl in front of him to ensure that Solo would not try to attack him. However, Serpa didn't anticpate Zekk coming up behind him. As Serpa raised a blaster to fire on Jaina, Zekk severed the arm with his lightsaber. When Serpa tried to react, Zekk cut off his other arm, freeing Vekki and leaving Serpa powerless to react. (LF6)

This Alliance undercover agent was a sensor specialist, and once infiltrated the Imperial Star Destroyer Avenger in order to rendezvous with potential defectors. He served at Hoth's Echo Base as a sensor and communications expert, using his knowledge of Imperial starship sensor images to filter out possible Imperial starships from the Hoth asteroids. Serper was on duty when he discovered the presence of an Imperial probe droid moving over Hoth's surface. Although Han Solo and Chewbacca managed to destroy the probot, it managed to upload its sensor readings to the nearest Imperial starship, alerting the Empire to the Alliance's presence on Hoth. Captain Serper and his team were, unfortunately, killed during the Battle of Hoth, after Imperial forces managed to breach the main base.

Located in a system near Arkania and the Perave System, Serroco was the homeworld of the Stereb race. Much of the planet's surface lacked vegetation, creating areas of sandy desert and muddy flats. It was here that the forces of the Old Republic established a base, in an effort to prepare to defend Republic space from Mandalorian attacks in the wake of The Onslaught. The surface of Serroco was arid, and was often scoured by intense tornadoes. These storms forced the Stereb to excavate warrens and tunnels beneath their cities, so that they could retreat underground during the storms. (KOR4, KOR5, KORH)

Serroco
This Old Republic warship was supposedly under the command of Captain Goodvalor, during the era of the Mandalorian Wars. The Seroco was assigned to defend the Zongorlu System from attack by the Mandalorians, and Captain Goodvalor broadcast nearly continual warnings to any Mandalorians who might try invade the system that they were be better served to stay away. A group of Mandalorians led by Koblus Sornell began to receive Goodvalor's transmissions during their occupation of Taris, and were dispatched by Cassus Fett to capture Zongorlu and put an end to Goodvalor's ceaseless banter. During their investigation, Sornell and his men learned from Republic soldiers who had defected to the Mandalorians that they had never heard of the Serroco. In reality, the Serroco and Captain Goodvalor were all part of a massive propaganda campaign that was designed to lure the Mandalorians to Zongorlu. (OWS)

Sertim, Darci
This woman, along with her twin sister Marci and older sister Gayle, controlled an independent group of mercenaries during the height of the Galactic Civil War. They were hired by Vost Tyne as "civilian security consultants" at the hyperbaride plant on Marca. The twins were given the position of leadership when Gayle was killed, but were told her death was at the hands of the Alliance. Neither sister was aware of the true nature of Gayle's death, and remained loyal to Tyne and the Empire until a group of Alliance agents crash-landed on the planet and discovered computer records of Tyne's involvement with Gayle's death. Darci and Marci immediately decided to help the Alliance agents, and it was Darci who suggested the enlistment of the Sekct in overthrowing Tyne. However, she was later captured by Tyne and held as a hostage against the Alliance team. (POM)

Sertim, Gayle
This woman, along with her younger sisters Marci and Darci, ran a group of mercenaries which provided security services. They were hired by Arviz Linden to protect the hyperbaride plant on Marca, and Gayle became enamored of Linden. Their relationship was discovered by Vost Tyne, who had executed Linden in order to take control of the plant. In an effort to ensure loyalty, Tyne sent Gayle off-planet on business, but had her shuttle rigged with a remote-detonated Thermex charge. Tyne told Marci and Darci that their sister was killed by Alliance agents, effectively turning them against the Alliance. Computer records of Gayle's death were later discovered by Alliance agents, who turned the information over to Darci and Marci. (POM)

Sertim, Marci
This woman, along with her twin sister Darci and older sister Gayle, controlled an independent group of mercenaries during the height of the Galactic Civil War.

Not a lot of credits", and "Serv-O-Droid -- Shouldn't your droid be serving you?" They were one of the original non-voting contributing sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority, but went out of business shortly after signing the CSA charter, primarily because the Big Two of Cybot Galactica and Industrial Automaton stole market share before Serv-O-Droid could react. The name Serv-O-Droid remained active, however, being used by a minor manufacturing concern on Elshandruu Pica. (DESB, CCG, CSA, WOTC, PH, NEGD)

Ackbar was impressed with his abilities, and retained his services after the establishment of the New Republic. He suffered from Mon Calamari Nerveshock, which he somehow contracted as an adult. The disease seemed to be in remission during much of his career, a fact that allowed him to continue as Ackbar's aide. It was Sesfan who questioned the fact that Luke Skywalker seemed to have established a credit line for Talon Karrde, after Karrde and the fledgling Smuggler's Alliance began providing information on the actions of Grand Admiral Thrawn to the Republic.

Seth
This man, a native of the planet Hapes, was one of the pilots recruited by Jaina Solo to fly reconnaissance missions against Yuuzhan Vong coralskippers, in order to gather gravitic data on the aline invaders' starships. Jaina hoped that the data would allow her to create yorik coral implants to fool a yammosk into believing that one Yuuzhan Vong starship was actually another ship. Unknown to Seth, his ship contained a piece of yorik coral that projected a gravitic signature similar to that of the Trickster, and Jaina was using Seth's ship as bait to see if the Yuuzhan Vong would track him or not. (DJ)

Sette, Urlor
This huge, well-muscled, bearded man was imprisoned at the Lusankya facility before Corran Horn was sent there. He was assigned to the mines, and supported Jan Dodonna's unofficial leadership of the prisoners. It was Urlor who brought Horn before Dodonna, when Corran was sent to the mines. Later, after Corran escaped, Ysanne Isard's clone used Urlor to provoke Rogue Squadron into a fight. She had Sette implanted with a specialized device which dumping a huge amount of neurotoxin into his bloodstream whenever Corran said his name. She then placed Sette aboard the Home One, just after the Battle of Bilbringi. Isard's clone had discovered plans for a post-battle celebration, and had Sette seek out Corran. Sette then epxlained that he had a message for Corran, but couldn't remember his own name. In this way, Isard guaranteed that Corran would be the one to "kill" Sette. In the end, when Corran said his name, Sette was viciously killed by the neurotoxin and died in Corran's arms. Iella Wessiri and Wedge Antilles traced the components used to build the injection system back to Commenor, but they were simply following evidence planted by Isard's clone. They managed to arrive ahead of the clone's schedule, rescuing several other survivors of the Lusankya and gathering a great deal of data on the clone's plans. (KT, IR)

Settlement 23
This was one of the many basic cities located on the planet Quadrant Seven. Many of the planet's largest merchants were found in Settlement 23. (SOJ)

The settlers were not allowed to have any presence - either people, buildings, or vehicles - within 100 kilometers of any shoreline. The Sauvax also had the option to contact the settlers for the purposes of trade, but in general the Pact was meant to keep the two peoples safely separated. (GMR10)

Settlement Thirty-Two
One of the many domed cities erected on the surface of the palnet Duro, this synthplas dome served to house refugees who were fleeing the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The dome, like other such refugee cities, was located beneath one of Duro's twenty orbital stations, protected by the planetary shield that contained the station. Thirty-two was constantly at odds with Gateway, as each dome tried to obtain the other's supplies in an escalating struggle to feed its inhabitants. The dome's integrity was destroyed when the Vong infiltrated a mutating insect straing into the settlement, which evolved quickly into a flying bug which had an acidic saliva. The bugs attacked the synthplas dome, melting holes in it. The New Republic barely got the refugees out of the dome before it was holed. (BP)

Settov Hammer
A strong alcoholic beverage. (ML)

Seuvhat
This was a small vehicle used by the city-dwelling natives of the planet Ansion. (APS)

Sev
This was the nickname used by the clone commando designated RC-1207 during the early years of the Clone Wars. Sev, whose nickname stemmed from the last digit of his designation number, was known for his grim sense of humor, and the other members of the original Delta Squad often said that his cloning vat must have been spiked with something to produce him. Like his fellow squadmates, Sev survived the Battle of Geonosis, and dedicated his military career to killing at least 4,982 battle droids - one for each of the clones who died on Geonosis. At the height of the Clone Wars, Sev participated in the search for Ko Sai, after Delta Squad was assigned to Arligan Zey's task force to locate the Kaminoan scientist. Zey had been given the mission by Chancellor Palpatine himself. The squad discovered that they were not the only group searching for Ko Sai, and that they lagged behind Kal Skirata and several Null-class troopers.

Unknown to the members of Delta Squad, their efforts were hampered by Bardan Jusik, who delayed them by forcing them to adopt the roles of public service workers in order to "blend in" and learn what they could from the local populace. After Boss expressed concern over Jusik's plans, Sev himself realized that Jusik was not acting normally. Rather than doggedly chasing down every lead about Ko Sai's whereabouts, Jusik seemed to be thinking about something else. When asked about it, Jusik only commented that he was worried about Omega Squad's Fi, who had been injured on Gaftikar. The concern for Fi's well-being was something that struck a chord with Sev, who discovered that he resented the fact that too many beings took him for granted. Fi had a father figure in Kal Skirata, who looked out for him. Fi also had the ability to ask pointed questions about the state of the Grand Army of the Republic, which was something Sev wished he could do.

Sev's unease with Jusik and the Jedi only increased as the mission dragged on, since he found it hard to reconcile Jusik's use of the Force. Sev found it hard to accept that the Force existed, because he couldn't see it himself, and the Jedi only seemed to use it when they wished. Several months into the search for Ko Sai, Sev and the rest of Delta Squad met with Kal Skirata on Coruscant, where Skirata delivered Ko Sai's severed head to them as evidence that she was no longer among the living. Their questions about how Skirata came to possess the head went unanswered, since Skirata didn't want them to get into any trouble with Chancellor Palpatine. Sev then volunteered to deliver the head to Arligan Zey, to bring a close to the mission. As the war ground on, and word began to filter down of clones who were deserting the GAR, Sev and his squat mates questioned their ability to actually fire on a fellow clone, despite the fact that the order to shoot had come from a commanding officer. His consternation only increased when Delta Squad was dispatched to the planet Haurgab to put a stop to the rebel activities of the local Maujasi rebels. Scorch could not understand why a team of clone commandos was required to suppress minor rebellions, but Sev reminded him that their only job was to carry out their orders.

In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Sev and his squad mates were dispatched to the planet Kashyyyk, as part of the Republic's plan to liberate the Wookiee homeworld from Separatist control. Under the command of Jedi Master Quinlan Vos, Delta Squad led an assault on a turbolaser emplacement, and was getting ready to pull out when they realized that Sev was not with them. Sev had been trapped at the turbolaser by Separatist forces, and was forced to retreat in order to survive. General Vos ordered the other Deltas to return to base, effectively stranding Sev in Separatist territory. (LAWS, SWMW, RCTC, RC66)

Sev
This clone commando was a member of Niner's squad, during the Battle of Geonosis. Unfortunately, Sev was among the many clones who were killed in the fighting on Geonosis. (RCHC)

Sev
This man, a member of the crew of the Jynni's Virtue, was killed on the planet Korriban by unknown forces, after the ship was forced to crash-land on the planet, near the Valley of Golg. Shortly afterward, Sev's reanimated body returned to attack the ship's surviving crew, having been turned into a thing known as a Korriban Zombie. (PH)

Sev
This Weequay Jedi Master was among the many who took on the role of military leader during the final years of the Old Republic. Master Sev and his Padawan, Joc Sah, were dispatched to Ragmar V, during the final stages of the Clone Wars, to assist in securing the planet as a staging area for the Old Republic's starship fleet. Unfortunately, Master Sev was killed aboard his flagship vessel when the command was issued to execute Order 66. He died valiantly, taking several clone troopers with him into the afterworld. (CWA5)

Sev Tok
This planet, which maintained an Imperial allegience following the Battle of Endor, was the site of Xalto Sneerzick's death. (SWJ9)

Sevarcos
This planet was the second which orbits the star Lumea, and was most famous for its production of two kinds of spice: the common, white andris and the rare, black carsunum. During the New Order, the Empire established a penal colony on the planet, supplementing their production of spice while maintaining an air of seclusion to Sevarcos. Much of the planet was ruled by the so-called Spice Lords of Sevarcos, a group made up from the leaders of the various criminal empires based on the planet. Sevarcos was dry, arid world covered with sandy deserts. (SWJ2, SWJ12)

Sevarcos Dispute
This argument, which occurred more than thirty years before the Clone Wars, was successfully mediated by the Jedi Knight Count Dooku. (HNN4)

Sevari
The human inhabitants of Sevarcos, the Sevari were believed to have been descended from the colonists of the Sevari Cabal who first settled the planet. Over the centuries, the Sevari developed a rigidly-cast social structure that shunned modern technology. (SWJ2)

Sevari Cabal
The colonists aboard this Old Republic colony ship were believed to be the ship which originally settled the planet Sevarcos. (SWJ2)

Sevari Flashpistol
A small, holdout weapon, the Sevari flashpistol was named for the fact that it was the preferred weapon of the Sevari. Native to the planet Sevarcos, the Sevari had no interest in advanced technology, and used gunpowders and small bullets in place of blasters. (SWJ2, KT)

Sevari Sidestep
This term, which was part of the jargon known as deal-slang, was based on the term used to describe a starship maneuver. In the art of the deal, though, it implied the use of finesse and guile to avoid being captured by authorities of the law. (SWJ4, OWS)

Sevari Sidestep
This was the smuggler term for the safest way to gain access to the planet Sevarcos, without being captured. It required a pilot to exit hyperspace as close to the Sevarcos System's asteroid belt as possible, thereby avoiding immediate attention. Then, after disabling the ship's gravity-mass overrides, the spacer had to cruise at top speed into near-orbit to the largest planetoid between their position and Sevarcos. The ship's shields had to be angled correctly, so that small debris deflected "naturally" off the spacer's ship. This part of the maneuver helped the ship hide from regular patrols. To reach Sevarcos, the spacer then hopped from asteroid to asteroid until they were close enough to make a direct run for the planet. Over time, the term "Sevari Sidestep" came to describe any act of avoiding the authorities. (SWJ2, SWJ4, OWS)

Sevark
This was the Gree term used to describe any Gree who serves as an intermediary between Gree guild masters and non-Gree clients. They translate their clients' needs to the guild masters, and also provide general escort and translation services to visitors to the Gree Enclave. The caste of sevarks developed recently, as the Imperial expansion of the galaxy led to greater traffic through the Gree Enclave. Their services were often quite expensive, but they were the only providers of this service. (SWJ8)

Seven Flames Base
This Alliance base was located near Karra. (SWJ1)

Seven Forms, The
This was the name given to the seven distinct forms of lightsaber combat that were recognized by the Jedi Order. The Seven Forms were:

• Form I, or Shii-Cho
• Form II, or Makashi
• Form III, or Soresu
• Form IV, or Ataru
• Form V, which had Shien and Djem So variations
• Form VI, or Niman
• Form VII, which had Juyo and Vaapad variations

(EGF)

Seven Minerals Fountain
This beautiful fountain was located in the 300th District of the city of Sath, on the planet Samaria. The fountain was distinguished by its chime clock, which tolled the first three chords of the Samarian anthem every half-hour. During the final years of the Old Republic, the Fountain Towers residential complex was erected around the Seven Minerals Fountain, creating an up-scale living experience for those individuals who could afford to live there. (LJ5)

Seven Moons Casino
This luxurious casino, located along the Ribbon at the Oseon Resort, was modeled after the architecture that was common on the planet Hapes. (MF)

Seven Sectors
This was the name given to a collection of seven former galactic sectors, after they were consolidated during the decades leading up to the onset of the Clone Wars. (NEGD)

Seven Skies of Sumarin
This was the name of an unusual atmospheric event that occurred on the planet Sumarin. (MJH)

Seven Stars, The
This was a religious reference used by at least one human culture in the galaxy. (MC100)

Seventeen
This was the designation of the strange creature that was created by A-4D on the orders of Passel Argente, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. A slobbering creature, Seventeen was little more than a mindless eating machine. (CWOC2)

Seventh Belt
This was the name of the seventh and outermost asteroid belt located in the Oseon System. (LCF)

Seventh Security Zone
This section of the galaxy, which contained the planet Walalla, was one of the many sectors that joined the New Republic in the wake of the Battle of Bilbringi. (BTS)

Seventy-Seven Stars
This Lantilian cruiser was owned by the Twi'lek To'iir. (SWJ10)

Severely Tronned
This slang term was used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe any operation where an enemy vehicle or starship was utterly destroyed, and no member of the enemy force survived. (GG9)

Severian
This vicious, Shistavanen bounty hunter was part of the group hired by Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader to hunt down Sagoro Autem, during the months following the Clone Wars. Severian was able to locate Autem at the same time as the Dug hunter Tartuta, but rather than capturing Autem, the pair fought amongst themselves. Tartuta managed to sever Severian's right hand in their struggle, and Severian was forced to retreat and get medical attention. With his arm bandaged, Severian confronted Autem in the underworld of Coruscant. However, the former Senate Guard was more than a match for the Shistavenan, and eventually stabbed Severian in the chest with a short sword. (RL)

Severindas, Reshton
This man was the leader of the Ragnar Bounty Hunter Syndicate, during the final years of the New Order and the early years of the New Republic. (GG10, SWJ15, OWS)

Sevetta
This planet was a toxic world of intense volcanic activity and a poisonous, chemical-filled atmosphere. Nevertheless, life emerged on the planet in the form of the Polydroxol species. (SWJ12)

SE-Vigilant
This was the designation of Fabritech's automated sensor beacon, developed for use by scouts, farmers, and municipal facilities that required a level of protection from external sources. The SE-Vigilant was designed with a variety of security scanners and alarm systems to warn of any intrusion. These devices were marketed to those individuals and groups who had to secure a large area, where an energy fence or full security force would be cost-prohibitive. When properly positioned, a network of SE-Vigilant beacons could privide almost complete surveillance of an area. The SE-Vigilant consisted of a central pole, on which were mounted the sensor and scanner systems, as well as antennae and alarms. (EGW)

Sevik
This Corellian conman worked with the Qwohog K'zk to swindle passage from Diergu-Rea Duhnes'rd, thereby financing a treasure hunt to the Zelosian Chine. Sevik and his partner, Hanugar, pretended to be shipwrecked vacationers, and were picked up by K'zk's crew before they reached the Chine. (TFNR)

Seville, Darion
This aging woman was the matriarch of the Seville clan, known for its criminal empire. Darion herself had a penchant for gladiator droid battles, but often used protocol droids instead of full-sized gladiators. She was nearly killed when one of her warrior droids, a conglomeration known MdZ-BLK, got tired ot the endless battles and attacked her. Her son, Yearo, ionized the droid and saved her. (CRO)

Seville, Yearo
This pirate first joined a gang at a very young age, and had killed his hundredth man by the time he was fifteen. Yearo was the son of Darion Seville, herself a ruthless matriarch, His cunning and cold-hearted nature led him to form his own gang of pirates, and he was generally regarded as the most blood-thirsty criminals in Rayter Sector during the New Order. He manipulated people extensively, and his own subordinates have become paranoid that their work would not be accepted by Seville. Yearo was a typical "swashbuckler," carrying a gold-plated blaster and an ornate walking stick, and wearing expensive, outlandish clothing. Nine parallel scars slash across his left cheek, although it was unknown how he received the. He once saved his mother from a rogue gladiator droid attack, and had the droid sent to Gorbu the Hutt as a "gift." The droid, MdZX-BLK, eventually killed Gorbu, thereby eliminating one of Seville's rivals. Seville was contracted by the Farool Brothers to kidnap Crying Dawn Singer and his entourage, which they did successfully. (TA, CRO)

Seville, Yosev
This woman and her brother led a team of mercenaries who were hired by the government of Sirdar to eradicate the plague of winged xendrites which was taking over the planet's ecosystem. (COG)

Sevin
This was the Gungan word for the number 7. (GPB)

Sevorrt
This reptile, prized for its leathery hide, was native to the planet Tatooine. (GQRG)

Sevriina
This Elom term describes their underground burrows. (GG12)

Sevro Slippers
Developed and manufactured by Mahled Medical Services, servo slippers were designed to assist beings in walking about on high-gravity planets. Using a sophisticated system of servo-sensors, repulsor compensators, and muscle stimulators, servo slippers provided assistance to disabled beings as well. (GFT)

Sevvets
This band of mercenaries nearly captured Boba Fett and Fenn Shysa on Shogun, during the early years of the New Republic. Shysa was badly injured, and told Fett that he had to leave him behind and return to Mandalore. Fett agreed to this demand, killing Shysa before the Sevvets could do it. Fett then managed to escape, keeping his word to Shysa by returning to Mandalore to assume the role of Mand'alor. (LF8)

Sewell, Roons
This man served the Alliance as a General in the armed forces, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Sewell grew up on the streets of a backwater world, fighting his way to freedom while maintaining his humanity. He was nearly killed in a street fight, left for dead and bleeding from external as well as internal injuries. After being rescued by a sanitation crew, Roons plotted to avenge his injuries by luring his tormentors in a spike-filled trap. He felt to qualms about killing the street gang in cold blood, because they would have done the same to him eventually. However, he found himself crying in shame for what he had done. Roons fell in love with an actress named Masla while performing with a theater troupe, but their relationship was short-lived. When Imperial agents tried to shut down the troupe on the grounds of seditious performances, Roons lashed out and tried to throw a chair at the commander. The stormtroopers accompanying him began to fire, and Masla was shot and killed. Roons himself barely escaped, then set out to exact his revenge on the Empire. He fpund a rebel cell, and managed to infiltrate the ranks of the Empire by stealing the uniform of Masla's father and impersonating an officer. After killing an entire squadron of stormtroopers and stealing several Imperial shuttles, Roons and his rebels found the Alliance during the early days of the Galactic Civil War. Roons was the leader of the team which extracted Jan Dodonna and his wife from Imperial service, but found that Dodonna had a greater knowledge of war than he did. When Mon Mothma ordered Dodonna to begin his service to the Alliance by serving under General Sewell, both men found an opportunity to grow, despite the fact that they were polar opposites. Sewell wanted to act, while Dodonna worried about logistics. Together they established the Massassi Base on Yavin 4, with Dodonna focusing on tactics and Sewell on combat. Then, during a raid on an Imperial supply depot, their transport was pursued by Imperial fighters. Roons took a Y-Wing and set out to draw the Imperials way from the transport. Roons was shot down and killed, but Dodonna and the transport returned to Yavin 4 unharmed. Dodonna's eulogy of Roons Sewell went down as one of the most stirring speeches of the fledgling Alliance. (SWERS)

Sey, Kadrian
This Zabrak was one of the many Jedi Knights who were on missions to remote worlds, serving the orders of the Jedi Council when the Clone Wars broke out. Like many other Jedi, Kadrian did not return to Coruscant when the fighting started, and the Council feared she had either joined the Separatists or turned to the Dark Side of the Force. Quinlan Vos discovered that she had indeed joined Count Dooku, while on a mission to infiltrate the Separatists on Antar 4. There, Vos was forced to defeat Kadrian and Tol Skorr in combat in order to gain audience with Dooku. Shortly afterward, during Count Dooku's mission to negotiate land rights on Kiffu, Kadrian and Skorr fought side by side with Vos when Sheyf Tinte ordered her Guardians into battle. When Kadrian tried to kill Sheyf Tinte, Vos's true allegiance was borne out. In order to save his kinswoman's life, Vos turned on Kadrian and sliced her in half with his lightsaber. (J4)

Seyah, Toval
This stout, great-bearded man worked as a scientist for the Galactic Alliance, and was one of the few experts the GA had on Centerpoint Station. He was also something of a spy, which allowed him to infiltrate Centerpoint Station and learn a great deal about its layout and inner workings, despite the fact that most research was controlled by Corellian authorities. It was Doctor Seyah who developed the training simulations used by Jacen Solo and Ben Skywalker to plan their mission to disable the station, several years after the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, when Thrackan Sal-Solo threatened to use the station as a weapon to guarantee Corellian independence. Doctor Seyah was adamant that the two Jedi try to disable the computer system installed by Sal-Solo would be enough to ensure that the station could not be used as a weapon, while ensuring that the station remained more or less intact for future investigation.

Although Skywalker and Solo were largely successful, Centerpoint Station remained in the control of the Corellians, and Doctor Seyah remained aboard as a GA spy. His reports on the Corellian efforts to restore the station to operational status continued for many weeks, until he reported to Belindi Kalenda that he believed his identity had been compromised. Kalenda pulled him off Centerpoint Station for his protection, a move that was greeted with disdain from Jacen Solo. Solo, having fallen to the Dark Side of the Force, ordered that Doctor Seyah be arrested and executed for providing false information that led to his extraction. Doctor Seyah managed to disappear just minutes before the Galactic Alliance Guard arrived to arrest him. He was whisked away to a secure location, and turned over to Tycho Celchu before he could be captured.

Celchu and Syal Antilles transported Doctor Seyah to the Forest Moon of Endor, hoping that Luke Skywalker and the Jedi Order - which had abandoned the Galactic Alliance during the Battle of Kuat - might be able to provide him sanctuary. Doctor Seyah then helped the Jedi and their military companions plan a mission to disable Centerpoint Station once and for all. Seyah himself joined Kyp Durron aboard the Broadside, posing as a Galactic Alliance Guard soldier. His prior experiences as a spy aboard Centerpoint Station prepared him for the mission, but the casual banter among the pilots in battle unnerved him a bit.

Doctor Seyah set in motion several different plans to destroy or render the station inoperable, including reprogramming the station's spin control systems to suddenly change its rotational direction, an event that would tear the station apart. Since the station had been strangely reprogrammed many times, he wasn't sure if this plan would work, so he altered the station's astrogational data, changing the coordinates of every star system in its database to be those of Centerpoint Station itself. As a last resort, Doctor Seyah planned to overload the Glowpoint power source, causing it to explode. However, despite the efforts of Jedi Master Kyp Durron to help him with these plans, Doctor Seyah was force to abandon his efforts when the Corellians began powering up the station's repulsor. (LF1, LF7)

Seylas, Debin
The Imperial Moff in charge of the Joralla System during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (PG1)

Seylott
This race of humanoids was native to the jungles of the planet Seylott. By the time of the Clone Wars, Seylott civilization was in steep decline. Many of the natives had lost much of their sentience, and were reduced to a primitive society. The Seylotts were known to be extremely sensitive to the Force, but most modern Seylotts had little control over it. Priests and shamans could control the Force, however, with passing skill. These large beings had pot-bellies supported by short, stout legs. Their long arms were strong and muscular, and their large hands were used to gripping tree limbs. Seylotts lacked an upright neck, and their wide-nosed faces seemed to hang from their shoulders. (JF)

Seylott
This planet, covered with thick jungles, was the homeworld of the Seylott race. (JF)

Seyugi Dervishes
This ancient cult of assassins was based on the planet Recopia. Distinguished by their red cloaks and white masks, the Seyugi Dervishes were attuned to the Force, just enough to enhance their combat skills and help them locate and capture their prey. The Seyugi eschewed any formal training in the Force, preferring to use it to discover new and deadlier ways to kill sentinents. They hired out their services to the wealthiest of the Core Worlds' inhabitants, and the appearance of their red robes drove a spike of fear into the hearts of millions. They spread throughout the Core for several decades before the Jedi Knights intervened. In a swift move, the Jedi eliminated all but the Seyugi base on Recopia, which remained hidden beneath the main fortress on Mallif Cove. Hidden in its lower levels, a cave held several hibernation chambers containing Seyugi disciples, frozen in carbonite and waiting to be reanimated. (CCW, WOTC)

Sez
This fish was found in the oceans of Bothawui. (GCG, WOTC)

Sez
One of the family names used by the Bothan people, it referred to a fish found on Bothawui's oceans. (GCG, WOTC)

Sezala, Mak
This Bothan represented the planet Bothawui in the New Republic Senate, some twenty-seven years after the Battle of Yavin. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galxy, Senator Sezala disagreed with Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya's plan to lure the alien invaders to uninhabited planets on the pretext of those worlds holding Jedi fugitives. However, Senator Sezala saw that Fey'lya was at once trying to dupe the Yuuzhan Vong and re-unite the fracturing Republic, and quickly supported his plan, naming several uninhabited worlds in Bothan space which the Yuuzhan Vong could investigate. (SBS)

SFI Systems
This droid programming developer was nationalized by the Empire and added to the Imperial Droid Corporation. (FOP)

Sficca
A plant whose beautiful blossoms were often consumed. (DESB)

S-foil
The wing assembly of an X-wing. The wings were connected diagonally, and when the S-foil was moved into attack position, the opposing wings spread apart. On an X-Wing, this results in the characteristic X-shaped wing pattern. On a B-Wing, it brings the wings upward to form the well-known cross-shape wing pattern. The name S-foil was a shortened term for Strike Foil, the original name used to describe these wings by Incom Industries. (E4, SWSB, SWTJ)

SFOR
This blaster carbine was produced during the last years of the Old Republic, and was used by specialized troops of the Grand Army of the Republic. Several variations on the basic design were eventually manufactured, depending on the mission needs of different types of clone troopers. (SWGAL)

Sgauru
This was one of two Yuuzhan Vong creatures, along with Tu-Scart, dispatched to Duro to destroy the refugee settlements established by the New Republic. Known as a male Beater, Sgauru resembled a segmented, hard-shelled creature with a white head that was dotted with black eyes. Around the creature's mouth were dozens of fleshy tendrils that drew bits of debris into its mouth. It was Sgauru that destroyed the buildings and warehouses on many worlds of the New Republic, with Tu-Scart following behind to consume the rubble. After years of conquest, the Yuuzhan Vong brought Sgauru and Tu-Scart to Coruscant, following the planet's reformation into a new version of Yuuzhan'tar. On Coruscant, the pair was put to work in destroying as much of the duracrete and transparisteel as they could, thereby helping the World Brain to complete its worldshaping activities. Some five years after the invasion began, Sgauru and Tu-Scart were ordered to play a more offensive role, when they were dispatched by Supreme Overlord Shimrra to attack the Galactic Alliance infiltration force that landed on Coruscant. Note that the Wizards of the Coast website claims that Sgauru was the Biter. Also note that The Unifying Force indicates that Sgauru was female. (BP, WOTC, UF)

SGB-543
This was a form of gravitic pressure bandage developed by Slusani Interstellar Pharmacologies. Based on a Sluissi design, the gravitiv pressure bandage used a combination of micro-repulsorfield generators to apply a gradient of pressure to a wound, helping to staunch the flow of blood and allow for quicker healing. (FOP, GFT)

SGI Systems, Incorporated
A major producer of black-market assassin droid components, SGI was headquartered on the planet Druckenwell. It was nationalized by the Empire when Palpatine assumed control of the Mid Rim's droid corporations. (SWJ6)

Sgidek
This Imperial shuttle was assigned to defend the Habeen research base against any Nharwaak assault, during the months following the Battle of Hoth. The Sgidek and her sister ship, the Doyle, were part of the task force that rescued a group of Habeen scientists, who were working on new hyperdrive technology, after the Nharwaak tried to destroy the research space station. (TIE, TIEP)

SGW-0027
This was the command code used to shut down the construction droids that were being used by the New Republic to rebuild Coruscant's Imperial City, following the death of the reborn Emperor Palpatine. Note that this was another reference to George Lucas' film, THX-1138, formed by going back one position for each number or letter in the name. (JS)

SH?1-B
This MD5 general practioner droid was taken from Jabba the Hutt's palace by Dengar, following the crimelord's death near the Pit of Carkoon. Dengar needed the droid's services, along with those of its companion, 1e-XE, in order to tend to the ravaged body of Boba Fett. Dengar had discovered the other bounty hunter shortly after Fett destroyed the Sarlacc and emerged from its belly. SH?1-B was not above giving its patients a piece of its mind, but it was also easily quelled into submission. When the bounty hunters fled Tatooine, SH?1-B and 1e-XE were left behind. (MA)

SH-9
This Czerka Arms slugthrowing pistol was a favorite of Alliance Special Forces agents, because it could be easily silenced and used whenever ranged weapons weren't available. (ROE)

Sha
This was a Huttese term of respect. (JTH)

Sha
This Mandalorian word meant "at." It could also be shal when used in front of a consonant for easier pronunciation. The form shal was used in front of a vowel. (OWS)

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

Sha, Stinna Draesinge
A teacher at the Magrody Institute, sha was taught by Nasdra Magrody himself. She became an expert in the field of droid programming, teaching at the Institute until she retired. Her research led her to the wreckage of the Ssi-ruuk battle droids and entechment equipment, and she worked with the machinery in an effort to discover how the aliens wre able to capture a person's life energy. She had not been able to duplicate the entechment techniques when she retired. Her retirment was short-lived, for she was assassinated, presumably by Phlygas Grynne, just before Han and Leia Solo went to Ithor to attend a herd meet. (COJ)

Sha, Tanlin
This Rellarin un'Yala was revered by the Swaze. (GG12)

Sha ca'nara
This Mandalorian phrase translated into Basic as the past-tense form of the adverb "when," as in Tion me'sen r'olaro sha ca'nara? (When did the ship arrive?) This word should not be confused with meg ca'nara, which was the present-tense adverb "when will." (OWS)

Sha grunnik ith-har
This was a phrase used by the Yuuzhan Vong to pray for clemency from their gods. It was repeated as a sort of incantation, pleading with one of the gods for assistance. (FH1)

Shaadlar
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian verb meant "to move." (OWS)

Shaadlar Troopship
This was an ancient troop transport vessel used by the Mandalorians, during the decades that followed the Great Sith War. (OWS)

Shaak
This unusual creature roamed the plains of Naboo in great herds. They were quadripedal pachyderms, although their bodies were quite immense when compared to their short, spindly legs. They were physically weak, barely able to keep themselves upright. This made them poor choices for pack animals by either the Naboo or the Gungans. They had flexible snouts that were used to nibble grass and other plants, and the flesh of the shaak was considered to be a delicacy by both the Naboo and the Gungans because it took little preparation to bring out its taste. The fatty ambergris was also used, as a base for perfumes. Their huge body and short legs keep them out of the swamps, where they were helpless to escape. Luckily, their fat bodies allowed them to float, and even a fall over a waterfall caused little real damage. Females of the species were continually pregnant, and their compartmentalized uterine system allowed them to be impregnated by different males at the same time. (GF, SON, WSW, NEGA)

Shaak Ridge
This was a low range of rocky outcroppings, located south the city of Theed on the planet Naboo. It was here that the Gungan Grand Army made its stand against the battle droids of the Trade Federation, during the Battle of Naboo. (GB, GBC)

Shaakling
This was a immature shaak. (HNN5)

Shaalas, Makis

Shaap'yc
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word meant "wooden." (OWS)

Shaara
This young human female (about fifteen years of age) was a dancer in a Mos Eisley club frequented by Imperial soldiers. She often performed provocative dances, a sharp contrast to her innocent nature. She was simply working to support her family's moisture farm. The Imperials wanted to have their way with her, but she fled to her family's farm. There, the Imperials killed her brother Kamma as she escaped again, this time fleeing into the southern desert. There, after a shot from her punch gun, Shaara knocked the Imperials into the Pit of Carkoon. Unfortunately, Shaara's speeder was disabled, and she, too, fell into the pit. All but one of the Imperials and Shaara herself were swallowed quickly. The remaining Imperial uncharacteristically saved Shaara from one of the Sarlacc's tentacles, and was captured himself. The Sarlacc then grabbed her, but instead of dragging her into its maw, it flung her out of the pit. It may have been because she was still dressed in her metallic dancer's outfit, or it may have been that the Sarlacc knew she was in trouble and helped her. No one will ever know. (TJP)

Shaardan
This man was one of the many Sith apprentices who were training at the academy on Korriban, during the height of the Great Sith War. After hearing the stories of Ajunta Pall's sword from Galon Lor, Shaardan set out to locate it in Ajunta Pall's tomb. However, he arrived too late, and decided to ambush the students who emerged with the sword. Unknown to Shaardan, the students were actually Jedi Knights in disguise. He demanded that the sword of Ajunta Pall be turned over to him, and became angry when they refused. He decided to fight them for it, but was killed in the brief struggle. (KOTOR)

Shab
This was a Mando'a expletive often used to describe excrement. (SWI87, RC66)

Shab Tsad Droten
This was a Mandalorian expletive that translated into Basic as "Curse the Republic." This phrase was common during the era of the Clone Wars. (RCTC)

Shabandar, Mici
This Alliance operative helped Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa capture the prototype Imperial warship, the Staraker, from the Empire's facility on Foundry, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. During the mission, Mici saved Leia from being killed by Imperial stormtroopers when Leia was grazed by a blaster bolt and injured. Mici herself was badly injured when the Staraker re-directed to Alashan, when the planet itself shot down the warhsip. Mici tried to repair what she could, but a control panel exploded and Mici was smashed into a bulkhead. She survived, aided by medical care from Luke and Leia, but she was unable to protect herself from the might of the planet itself. A huge storm of boulders and energy were sent to bombard the Staraker, and Mici was placed into a form of bio-stasis to help her survive. (MCI5, MCI6)

Shabba
A member of the ground team supporting the X-Wing Rogue Squadron, Shabba was a green-skinned humanoid with pointed ears. (XWRS)

This Nightsister, who was living on Dathomir during the early years of the New Republic, detected the thermal detonator Han Solo tried to carry into Warlord Zsinj's warroom, and deactivated it with a command from the Force. (CPL)

Shabiir
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian verb meant "to screw up." It was rarely used in polite conversation. (OWS)

Shab'ika
This Mandalorian expletive was used to describe a being who was worth little more than a pile of dung. The fact that it used the affectionate suffix ika made the expletive all the more intense, especially when it was used to describe an adult. (LF8, RC66)

Shabla
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word meant "screwed up." It was rarely used in polite conversation, as it was considered a fairly strong expletive by most Mandalorians. (OWS, RCTZ)

Shab'rudur
This Mandalorian verb meant "to mess with", but it had a much stronger connotation than jurkadir, and was only used in extreme situations. (OWS)

Shabu'droten
This Mando'a expletive was often used in moments of anger or disgust, and referred to the general populace in a most impolite way. (RCTZ)

This Mandalorian expletive was used to describe any individual who offended the Mandalorian. Based on the word shab, it could also be used crude or coarse affection, in the right circumstances. (PM, LF5, RC66)

Shabuire
This was the plural form of the Mandalorian word shabuir. (RC66)

Shachu

This female Selonian was a member of the Chanzari den, and was noted for her ability seek out new caves and tunnels to add to the den's warren. (CCW)

Shad
This was the capital city of the planet Melinz. (CRO)

Shad
This man served the Empire as a Commander in the armed forces, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. He was placed in charge of negotiating with Nescan Tal'yo for a holocube that contained information on the locations of several Alliance bases. Shad and his detachment were waylayed by the seductive wares of the Quetzal Sisters, who were actually undercover agents working for Orma Hundeen. While the Imperials were wined and dined, Leia Organa managed to destroy the holocube, ensuring that its contents were never discovered. Commander Shad was forced to admit to General Khorak that the holocube was gone, but told a story about ten or twelve well-armed, male rebels getting the jump on them and stealing the holocube. (T15)

Shad Furies
This shockball team, based in the city of Shad on Melinz, was a five-time champion of the Royal Imperial Shockball League during the last years of the New Order. (CRO)

Shadda-Bi-Boran
This planet was destroyed when its sun, which was part of the Bi-Borran Cluster, suddenly exploded. The Refugee Relief Movement was called in to help evacuate the people of the planet, especially the children, so that their civilization could endure. Unfortunately, the natives of this planet were unable to adapt to any world on which they were transplanted, and they died out. Note that the adaptation of Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, written by Patricia Wrede, indicates than Padme' Amidala participated in the evacuation of Shadda-Bi-Boran when she was just eight. (E2N, E2Y, DSTR)

Shade Center
This was the name given to a group of facilities that were found on the planet Byrsym. Shade centers were constructed to provide places where the locals could, for a small fee, escape from the heat of the day. Each shade center was a temperature-controlled set of rooms that were filled with cushioned benches and seating areas. (FR)

Shadeshine
It was rumored that Han Solo saved the natives of the planet Ventooine from this unusual stone, some time prior to the Battle of Yavin. The natives of the planet built a huge statue of Solo, and built an entire religion around his saving of the planet. The Shadeshine allowed the Satab and his minions to see across great distances and within any obstacle, making the Satab virtually omniscient. It also allowed the Satab to speed up the metabolism of a being, aging it many decades in an instant. However, the use of the Shadeshine gave the user incredibly sensitive senses, and external stimuli eventually destroyed the user. The Shadeshine was given to Han Solo for disposal, after Chrysalla and Han Solo defeated the last of the Satabs in combat. Solo dumped it into the engine compartment of the Millennium Falcon, thereby destroying it and freeing the natives of Ventooine. (LTA5, MCA2)

Shadiru
This was one of the Outer Rim's most popular hotel chains, during the height of the New Order. (GG9, OWS)

Shadola Sector
This area of the galaxy was located in the Outer Rim. (SWJ10)

Shador
This aging Strike-class cruiser was part of the Valiant's battle fleet, during the height of the New Order. (ISB)

Shador
This swamp-covered planet orbitted just 100 million kilometers from its white star. From space, it appeared to be a dark, cloud-covered ball of dirty green seas and yellow-brown continents. Visitors encounter a densely-forested, swamp-covered planet with an atmosphere that was too foul to breathe. Several small cities sprang up nonetheless, mounted on pylons and pilings to keep the structures out of the swamp. Gondollas and repulsor-powered boats moved people around. (SL)

Shadorian
This was the alien race native to the planet Shador. They were known to be skilled assassins. (SL)

Shadorian Dragonfly
A large insect native to the planet Shador. (SL)

Shadow
This Mon Calamari MC40a light cruiser was part of a fleet which was protected a hospital space station which was sympathetic to the Alliance. (XWA)

Shadow
This stock light freighter was owned and operated by Lett Minak. (HR)

Shadow
This was the designation of a squadron of TIE Defenders used by the Empire to protect the Bretie production facility, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)

Shadow
This was the codename used by the droids that maintained the Sanctum of the Exalted to describe Celeste Morne, during the final stages of the Mandalorian Wars. This codename reflected her status as one of the Shadow Agents who worked for The Covenant. (KOR8)

Shadow
This Imperial stormtrooper served as part of the Aurek-Seven unit of the Imperial 501st Legion during the years following the formation of the Imperial Remnant and the signing of a peace treaty between the Empire and the New Republic. Like his companions Grappler, Cloud, and Watchman, Shadow accompanied Chak Fel on the mission to locate the Outbound Flight Project in Chiss space, some three years before the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy. They took heavy damage when the Vagaari pirates launched their attack, but the unit remained intact throughout the fighting. (FB, SQ)

Shadow Academy
This huge, cloaked space station, found in the Core Systems, was a training center for Dark Jedi set up by Brakiss following his departure from Yavin 4. He consolidated Imperial money and discovered exiled Nightsisters to help create the station. Brakiss, at the direction of the Imperial leaders of the time, set a number of self-destruction devices on the station, for use in the event that the students of the Dark Side revolted against their instructors. These devices could also be used to destroy the station, should it come into the hands of the New Republic. Brakiss used the station's cloaking ability to maneuver it into position near Coruscant, in an effort to steal much-needed supplies from Republic transports. Raids were launched from the cloaked station, using the modified assault shuttle employed in the attack on GemDiver Station. The transport ship Moon Dash was a victim of a collision with the cloaked station. The station continued to grow, though, under the watchful eyes of Brakiss and Tamith Kai. When the reborn Emperor Palpatine arrived on the station, Brakiss was honored. They began planning to attack the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, but Brakiss began to doubt the Emperor's motives when he continually snuffed the young Imperial. At the end of the attack, Brakiss went to confront Palpatine, only to find that the Emperor was really a clever ruse perpetrated by four former Imperial Royal Guards. Brakiss killed all but one of them, who managed to set off the Shadow Academy's self-destruct systems. He escaped before the station exploded, killing Brakiss. (SA, LO, JUS)

Shadow Agent
This was the term used by the members of the Jedi Covenant to describe those Jedi Knights who worked behind the scenes to carry out dangerous and important missions, during the decades that followed the Great Sith War. Among the members of the Shadow Agents were Jelpd Marrian, Bataui Zeel, and Celeste Morne. One of the primary missions of the Shadow Agents was to locate the Muur Talisman, which was believed to have caused the Rakghoul Plague. (KORV)

Shadow Army
This was the name that was often used to describe the cloned Morgukai warriors who were created by Sora Bulq on Saleucami, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Shadow Army was trained in the ways of Anzati assassins by Rath Kelkko, and was to have been unleashed upon the Jedi to distract them from Count Dooku's attack on Coruscant. (RT, RSOS)

Shadow Assassins
This group of Force-sensitive individuals was one of the many smaller groups that followed the Dark Side of the Force, during the era of the New Sith Wars. Based on planets such as Ryloth and Umbara, the Shadow Assassin were among the groups of Dark Jedi that kept their existence hidden from the Jedi Order, during the years following the Battle of Ruusan. (DBRT)

Shadow Barnacle
An underground-dwelling creature native to Coruscant, the shadow barnacle was a crustacean that anchored its shell to the foundations of buildings. When the barnacle emerged from its shell, it extended a collection of filaments from its mouth. These filaments were used for breathing. To feed, the barnacle absorbed nutrients through its roots, which were burrowed into the duracrete. Groups of shadow barnacles appeared to be covered with pale yellow growths when closed. (ISU, WSW, RCTC)

Shadow Base
This was the term used by Lord Cronal to describe the fortress and the surrounding defenses that made up Lord Shadowspawn's base of operations on the planet Mindor. Unknown to most beings was the fact that Lord Cronal had added his own defense system, surrounding the Shadow Base with a series of gravity stations that could generate a massive gravity slice that could tear the entire complex apart. As soon as Cronal had captured Leia Organa, he activated these gravity stations, hoping to escape from the Battle of Mindor and use Leia to serve as his new body. The entire Shadow Base lifted away from Mindor's surface, as Cronal attempted to destroy Mindor and eliminate any witnesses to his actions. This allowed Cronal's gunners to fire the gravity gun at close range to the New Republic's warships, tearing apart the Unsung with its first volley of gravity bombs. However, the gravity slice that had freed Shadow Base had also set up a chain reaction of gravitic tremors on Mindor itself, and the entire planet threatened to tear itself apart. In a daring move, Luke Skywalker ordered the Lancer and the Paleo to use their conveyor bridges to help rescue the military and civilian personnel still inside Shadow Base. The fortress and the surrounding stone were torn apart as the New Republic's warships fired on it, hoping to eliminate the gravity gun and give them a chance to escape the battle. These attacks only hastened the destruction of the base, which was also subjected to the gravity slices that had freed it from Mindor. (LSSM)

Shadow Bird
This was the alias used by Han Solo for the Millennium Falcon, shortly after the Battle of Duro. He used the alias to return to Corellia, where he hoped to buy some time for his wife, Leia, to recover from the injuries she received at Duro. The name referred to the matte-black paint job he had done to the Millennium Falcon shortly after the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion the galaxy. (REC)

Shadow Bomb
This was the term used by Luke Skywalker to describe Kyp Durron's tactic of launching unpropelled proton torpedoes at Yuuzhan Vong targets with the Force. While this took much of the pilot's concentration away from his starfighter and the surrounding battle, the Yuuzhan Vong were unable to accurately target the proton torpedo when it lacked a propellant trail. This allowed the torpedoes to reach a Yuuzhan Vong craft and detonate before a dovin basil could be used to consume it. Those Jedi Knights who flew the newer T-65XJ3 X-Wing starfighter found that they could load one torpedo launcher with modified proton torpedoes, removing the propellant in favor of more explosive material, making even more potent shadow bombs. (SBS, NJOSB)

Shadow Chaser
This was the name of Garowyn's state-of-the-art, quantum-armored starship. The Shadow Chaser was used to transport potential Jedi to the Shadow Academy. When Luke Skywalker and Tenel Ka infiltrated the station, they stole the Shadow Chaser as their escape ship. The New Republic confiscated the ship, but later gave it to Luke for his own use. It was put it to good use at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 as a transport. (SA, LO, DIV)

Shadow Child
This was the term used by the Chiss to describe any child whose existence was kept secret by their family. The existence of a shadow child, who was publicly unacknowledged by their parents, served to ensure that a family could not be wiped out by its enemies. It was a common practice among the Chiss to have one or more shadow children, to preserve a family's position within the Chiss Ascendancy. (DN1)

Shadow Creature
This was another term used to describe the shadow lurkers of the Cularin Asteroid Belt, referring to the fact that they hated the light, and lived in the shadows. (BIT2)

Shadow Creeper
This was a predator that was native to the forests of Kashyyyk. Could this be another term for the shadow keeper? (AFA)

Shadow Crown
This was the term used by Lord Cronal to describe the specialized Crown he wore whenever he needed to control one of the many minions who toiled for him on the planet Mindor. The Shadow Crown was hidden inside Cronal's life-support chamber, where only he had access to it. With the Shadow Crown, Cronal could control a squad of stormtroopers or the single being of Nick Rostu, who had served Cronal as Lord Shadowspawn. The Shadow Crown served to focus Cronal's powers and amplify them, making him much more powerful than the feeble old man he appeared to be. (LSSM)

Shadow Dancer
Very little was known about this pirate ship, except that her captain had installed a number of countermeasure and stealth systems that rendered it virtually invisible to scanners and sensors. (PP)

Shadow Droid
Designed by Umak Leth and Borborygmus Gog for Emperor Palpatine, these attack craft were basically cybernetic starfighters. They were pilotless, for the most part, being controlled by the biologically-maintained brains of dead Imperial fighter pilots. These brains had been twisted through exposure to the Dark Side of the Force, and obey any command to the death. Shadow Droids were produced in the Deep Core during the period when Emperor Palpatine was reborn on Byss. These craft were armed with an ion cannon, a repeating blaster cannon, a pair of laser cannons, missile- and proton torpedo-launching systems, and an electromagnetic pulse cannon. The only problem with the Shadow Droids was that their once-human brains continued to evolve toward a perceived humanity. This meant that the brains would eventually go insane, once they realized that they were forever confined to their ships. In order to counteract this tendency, Leth and his engineers later installed speciallized hardware the removed all traces of humanity from the brain before its installation. (DE2, EGD, OWS)

Shadow Egg
This was the term used by Lord Cronal to describe the hidden control chamber in which he sometimes cocooned himself on the planet Mindor, during the years leading up to the Battle of Mindor. The Shadow Egg had been formed from the surrounding meltmassif stone, adjacent to the Cavern of the Shadow Throne. After Cronal had captured Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker was able to infiltrate the Shadow Egg by befriending the Melters who inhabited the meltmassif stone. Cronal, however, had planned his own escape, and was trying to escape in a secret ship. In his place inside the Shadow Egg, watching over Leia's body while Cronal attempted to break her mind, Cronal left Kar Vastor. Luke was able to insinuate his consciousness into the stone that formed the Egg and render it unable to maintain its crystalline structure, and the Shadow Egg collapsed into a puddle around Vastor's feet. However, Luke's connection to the meltmassif stone allowed him to communicate with Vastor and, therefore, Cronal. Luke calmly explained that Nick Rostu was trailing the secret ship, and would blow it from the sky if he didn't hear from Luke. (LSSM)

Shadow Fever
This disease was believed to be confined to the planet Ord Cestus, where it was often fatal if left untreated. (TCD)

Shadow Forest
This area of the wroshyr trees surrounding Rwookrrorro was a densely-forested area in which the bridal-veil sucker and mock shyr compete with the rroshm and rkkrrkkrl for dominance. Deep in the Forest was located the Well of the Dead. The term Shadow Forest was also used to describe the second and third levels of the Kashyyyk jungle, and was considered the domain of the webweavers. (TT, GMR4)

Shadow Hand
This was the term used by the ancient Sith ruler, Adas, to describe his second-in-command and most trusted advisor. (OWS)

Shadow Hand Fleet
This was the name used to describe the naval forces that were assigned to the Empire's Operation Shadow Hand, during the early years of the New Republic. (OWS)

Shadow Hunter
This large predator was native to the jungles of the planet Ithor. The shadow hunters were one of the first species that the native Ithorians tried to integrate into their society, and for many generations the shadow hunters were glad to do the bidding of the Ithorians. However, with the establishment of the New Order and the Imperial garrisoning of Ithor, the shadow hunters were hunted by the Imperials. As a race, they became skittish and tense, and some even turned on their Ithorians companions. (MIS7)

Shadow I
This was the name of Del Korrot's personal starship. (DSSB)

Shadow Keeper
This five-limbed creature, known as the kkekkrrg rro to the Wookiees, lived in the lowest depths of the jungle on Kashyyyk, at the fourth level of the biosphere. It was a carnivore, and preferred to hunt for fresh meat rather than scavenge for food. They were not brave or strong enough to attack a large Wookiee, but they had a long history of being a vicious hunter. An individual shadow keeper had three foerlimbs and two rear legs, and move about on all five legs or just the rear legs. Of the three forelimbs, the outer pair were heavily clawed and used for gripping their prey. The inner leg was a bit shorter than the other two but also much stronger, with heavt muscles making it thicker than the other. The claws on all five legs were retractable, and could be used for climbing or hunting. The tongue of this creature was quite abrasive, and could tear the skin off another creature to expose its flesh. The unique, physical design of this creature made them popular among xenobiologists, but no specimen - alive or dead - was ever found for investigation. (TT, RD, GMR4, UA)

Shadow Keeper
There were only seven of these starships ever built. They were one of the deadliest fighter craft of their time, and were named for a Kashyyyk predator. (SSR)

Shadow Killer
This was the term used to describe the most accomplished and feared Dashade hunters. (UANT)

Shadow Lurker
This was the term used to describe the strange ghosts that appeared in the Cularin Asteroid Belt, millennia after the destruction of the planet that created the belt. Unlike terrestrial ghosts that were sometimes reported inside old buildings, the shadow lurkers of Cularin was ship-sized objects that moved among the deeper sections of the belt. The Jedi Knights of the Almas Academy discovered that the shadow lurkers attacked without warning, draining the energy from any powere sources they encountered and absorbing any living beings they came into contact with. Despite their seeming invincibility, shadow lurkers shunned the light, and could be driven back by powerful glowrods or lanterns. Only after several disastrous encounters was it discovered that the shadow lurkers were not trying to attack other beings, but actually communicate with them. The group of freelance operatives who were working for Nirama and located the Jackpot and the Stark Wing learned this information, after a single creature began stealing small objects, rather than entire beings, in an effort to make their presence known. They eventually were brought over into the Continuum, the shadow lurkers' world, after locating the reanimated body of Corporal Dregz on a remote asteroid. There, in the realm of the shadow lurkers, the agents found the other missing members of Nirama's crews, as well as more shadow lurkers. They learned that the homeworld of the shadow lurkers had been destroyed by the Darkstaff many millennia before, leaving them trapped in a soundless realm of shadows in which verbal communication was impossible. The creatures were the strange after-images of their former selves, and had been slowly dying. The only way for them to survive was to draw power from inanimate objects, like blasters and datapads. They believed that they could be restored to normal by the Darkstaff, but it had been stolen by Len Markus. This prompted the shadow lurkers to try and reach out to other beings, in hopes of finding a way to survive. However, their lack of ability to communicate caused more trouble than the shadow lurkers anticipated. In a last-ditch effort, the shadow lurkers began to invade the dreams of living beings, showing them images of the destruction of their homeworld. This led to the amazing discovery that the shadow lurkers were all that remained of the Oblee race, of which Nirama was the only living example. A group of freelance agents who were working for Nirama discovered the shadow lurkers within the continuum, and managed to destroy the crystal shards that were keeping them trapped within the shadowy realm. With the destruction of the shards, the shadow lurkers ceased to exist, and the Oblee were freed from their prison. (BIT2, BIT3)

Shadow Magic
This was the name given to the use of the Dark Side of the Force by the Nightsisters of Dathomir. The use of Shadow Magic was documented by Gethzerion in The Book of Shadows. Like all forms of Dathomiran "magic," Shadow Magic employs spells that allow the sister to gather the energy of the Force to her. She can then use its strength to create the desired effect. (CTD)

Shadow Net
This was the name used by Keets Freely to describe the renegade news network that he planned to start up, during the early years of the New Order. Working with other journalists who opposed the Empire's control of the galaxy, Keets planned to use the Shadow Net to broadcast news reports that countered the Imperial propaganda with actual facts, in an effort to expand the rebellion that was rising in the galaxy. (LJ9)

Shadow Night Festival
This was an Ewok celebration, in which the Woklings of each tribe dressed in unusual costumes and moved from house to house asking for treats. (ECAR)

Shadow of the Alliance
This was the name of a small, dense nebula that was located near the Yavin System. Many of the Alliance ships fleeing Yavin 4 in the wake of the Battle of Yavin hid in this nebula to avoid Imperial pursuit. (SWGAL)

Shadow Realm
This was the name used to describe the lands surrounding Lord Shadowspawn's fortress, on the planet Mindor. (LSSM)

Shadow Runner
This slip-winged starship was owned by Hok and Timar Daragon, and was used to run supplies to the rebels in the ancient Koros System. In a fateful run to bring supplies to the rebels on Kirrek, the Daragons were caught in the middle of the final battle on the planet. The Jedi Knights, using battle meditiation techniques, had quelled all the hardest warriors into a cease-fire. However, a few stray minds attempted to kill as many of Empress Teta's troops as they could. In the cross-fire, the Shadow Runner was struck twice and destroyed. (GAS)

Shadow Saber Squadron
This starfighter unit, led by Kyp Durron and made up of Jedi Knights, was part of the Galactic Alliance First Fleet's starfighter compliment during the defense of Kuat, at the height of the Alliance's war against The Confederation. Like the Night Blades and Dark Sword Squadrons, the Shadow Sabers abandoned the Kuat battlefield and joined Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker in defecting from the Galactic Alliance. (LF6)

Shadow Ship
This was another term used to describe the shadow lurkers of the Cularin Asteroid Belt, referring to their immense size. (BIT2)

Shadow Spies
This was the term used by the Brotherhood of Darkness to describe the Sith spies and assassins who were trained at the academy on Umbara, during the years leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. (DBPD)

Shadow Squadron
This group of New Republic X-Wing fighters was assigned to the Battle Dog. (SOC)

Shadow Squadron
This group of infiltration operatives was a part of the Alliance's Eclipse Team. (AIR)

Shadow Squadron
This was a squadron of Imperial TIE Fighters active during the early years of the Galactic Civil War and assigned to the first Death Star during the Battle of Yavin. (JKG)

Shadow Squadron
This group of clone trooper pilots served under the command of Jedi Master Plo Koon, during the height of the Clone Wars. Master Koon hand-picked the clones who were part of Shadow Squadron, in an effort to achieve a better rapport with them in battle. Note that the decoded version of this episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars indicates that Shadow Squadron was trained by Anakin Skywalker. Shadow Squadron was one of the few units in the Galactic Republic's naval forces to fly two-seated BTL-S3 Y-Wings into battle. The squadron's motto was "Minimal casualties, maximum effectiveness". (CWVG, CWTV03)

Shadow Throne
This was the name given to the throne upon which Lord Shadowspawn sat when he was secluded in his fortress on the planet Mindor. The Shadow Throne was located in a chamber that was lit by a cascade of white-hot lava which was contained behind a force field. The lava fell into a vast lake, across which a bridge of rock was constructed. At the center of this bridge was a platform, suspended over the lava, and it was here that the Shadow Throne was situated, held above the lava by a repulsorlift. The immense throne was not carved from the surrounding meltmassif, but was instead carved from obsidian, and was as big as a shuttle. The throne faced directly away from the falling lava, so that visitors were forced to look upon Lord Shadowspawn as the lava flowed behind him. The lava gave the chamber an eerie, red glow, and the upper reaches of the chamber were clouded with sulfur-laden smoke. Luke Skywalker was surprised upon first entering the chamber and seeing the Shadow Throne, since the entire image seemed to have some straight from the final scenes of the holothriller Han Solo and the Pirates of Kessel. Luke later confronted Cronal in the cavern, although Cronal was controlling the body of Kar Vastor at the time. Luke was able to destroy the repulsorlift supporting the Shadow Throne, plunging it and Vastor into the lake below. However, the lava had drained out when the Shadow Base was torn from Mindor's surface. In its place was the Millennium Falcon, which contained a squad of stormtroopers who were now loyal to "Emperor" Skywalker. (LSSM)

Shadow Traproom
This archaeological discovery was found on the planet Liok. Two Obroan Institute explorers - Dreiss and Mokem - were killed during the initial excavations of the site. (TT)

Shadow Trooper
This was a generic term used to describe any undercover soldier who used stealth and guile to infiltrate a target, then used superior firepower to carry out a mission and complete its objective. (TFUN)

Shadow Trooper
This was the term used to describe the special forces units that were the brainchild of Armand Isard, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Shadow Troopers were a reconnaissance unit that was created to fill the gaps that were left in the Grand Army of the Republic, after the early losses of ARC Troopers in combat. Shadow Troopers worked singly or in pairs, often posing as bounty hunters or mercenaries to infiltrate locations and gather intelligence. Despite their covert operational mission profiles, Shadow Troopers wore modified Phase II clone trooper armor that allowed for the addition of special plates that altered the appearance of the armor, allowing them to blend in with Hutt mercenaries or even Black Sun operatives. The internal systems of the Shadow Trooper's armor were equipped with dampers and jamming systems that ensured the trooper was not detected by sensor scans. These countermeasures, however, caused problems with standard clone trooper electronics, forcing Shadow Troopers to remain separate from their brethren. In the wake of the Clone Wars, the Shadow Troopers became the basis for the Storm Commandos and the Blackhole Stormtroopers. (SWDB)

Shadow Two
This was the callsign used by the clone trooper known as Matchstick, during his tenure with Shadow Squadron at the height of the Clone Wars. (CWTV03)

Shadow V
This was a model of combat airspeeder produced by MandalMotors during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Shadow V was 6.5 meters in length, and required a pilot and gunner to operate. It was armed with a double laser cannon, and could carry up to ten kilograms of cargo and a single passenger. (SWRPG)

Shadow Warriors
This was another name applied to the ancient Taungs of the planet Coruscant. (SWI80)

Shadow Weave Caverns
This network of underground chambers and passageways was located in the Kkowir Forest, on the planet Kashyyyk. (SWGAL)

Shadow Wing
This notorious pirate gang was commanded by Abin-Ral-Xufush during the height of the New Order, and terrorized the Perlemian Trade Route for many years afterward. The Shadow Wing was somewhat unusual in that its members actually used the loot that they stole, after dividing it up amongst the members based on rank and priority. In this way, the Shadow Wing acquired most of its starships, by stealing the corvettes and fighters they needed from passing convoyus, then refitting them to their own needs. When captured ships did not meet their needs, the Shadow Wing often employed shipjackers and other criminal agents to acquire the necessary ships. Note that this pirate gang was referred to as the Dark Wing in Pirates and Privateers. (WOTC, PP)

Shadow, The
This was another name for the Rainbow-Eyed Enemy described by The Message of the Yuuzhan Vong Shamed Ones. (FH2)

Shadowblade
This Separatist warship was developed as a superweapon that could be used against major military targets during the Clone Wars. The vessel was shaped like a curved jagged blade, with its main turbolaser batteries hidden by angular panels that could open and close on demand. The ships was also equipped with full cloaking systems, allowing it to move through space virtually undetected. This combination of appearance and technology gave the ship its name.

Jedi Master Darrus Jeht and the crew of the Maelstrom were ordered to eliminate the threat posed by the Shadowblade, and believed that they had carried out their mission when they discovered its construction site and bombed it into rubble. However, the intelligence upon which the mission had been based was flawed, and the Shadowblade was actually in flight when Jeht's attack occurred.

Master Jeht was unaware of this failure until just after the end of the Clone Wars, when he barely escaped Darth Sidious' command to execute Order 66 through a series of risky and dangerous ruses. Upon returning to the Cularin System, Master Jeht was surprised to escape from two Republic gunships, only to come face to face with the Shadowblade. In a desparate maneuver meant to finally destroy the Separatist vessel, Master Jeht planned to ram the Maelstrom into her, but the Shadowblade was too fast for the smaller vessel. It quickly flew into firing position and began to unleash heavy damage on the Maelstrom. It was during this time that Master Jeht and his crew discovered a temporal rift moving through the Cularin System. Realizing that he could not defeat the Shadowblade in one-on-one combat, Master Jeht ordered his clone troopers to lock on the ship with their tractor beams. He then plunged both ships into the temporal rift, where they were consumed by flashes of light and time, and were never seen again. (LFCW)

Shadowcast
This was one of the most secret operations ever undertaken by the Alliance. It was a communiations network developed to encrypt messages to deep-cover Alliance agents in Imperial propaganda advertising on the HoloNet. This allowed the leaders of the Alliance to reach those agents and spies who had infiltrated the deepest confidences of the Empire, without raising suspicions. In order to maintain the integrity of the Shadowcast codes, Leia Organa suggested that they be hidden in the Alderaanian moss-painting, Killik Twilight. Although the moss-painting was lost shortly after the destruction of Alderaan, the Alliance - and later, the New Republic - continued to use Shadowcast to communicate with its agents. What the codes used by Shadowcast offered in security, they took away in speed. Each transmission had to be encrypted by hand, then dispatched over a ghost wave. This ghostwave attached itself to a commercial transmission, allowing it to be broadcast on the HoloNet. (TG)

Shadowcloak
This unusual piece of technology was developed to allow individuals to meet face-to-face without having their true identities discovered. The shadowcloak provided two forms of protection. First, it used speciallized scramblers to alter the user's voice beyond any recognition. Second, the covered the user with a field of blackness that completely masked their appearance. (CCW)

Shadowfeed
This was the name given to any HoloNet newsfeed that was created and maintained by entities that were not connected to the standing government. The existence of shadowfeeds was brought to public light during the Clone Wars, when the Confederacy of Independent Systems established the CIS Shadowfeed to spread their own propaganda about the status of the Clone Wars. (SWI66, RDV)

Shadowfire
This Suwantek TL-1200 freighter was once owned by Derrend Montis, who used the ship as a personal transport. Montis had the ship outfitted with hidden combat capabilities, as a measure of protection when traveling in unknown parts of space. After Montis' death, the Shadowfire was sold to a shipping company which went bankrupt shortly afterward, before it was acquired by Popara the Hutt for use as part of the Skydove Freight fleet. The Shadowfire was armed with a pair of turret-mounted quad laser cannons, two ion cannons, two concussion missile launchers, and a tractor beam projector. It was designed to be operated by a single pilot, and could accommodate up to 150 metric tons of cargo and 100 passengers. (TF)

Shadowhawk
This was the popular name of Ikas-Adno's XR-10 speederbike. (WSV)

ShadoWing-4 Glider
This para-wing glider was produced for recreational use by Neor-Yatten, but found widespread usage among scouts and paramilitary groups as well. It was based on original Imperial military glider designs, and included many of the safety features developed to keep troopers alive during field activities. It was equipped with geomorphous wings and a medium-duty repulsor engine, which provided the ShadoWing-4 with a high flight ceiling and incredible maneuverability. (ROE)

ShadoWing-6 Glider
This was the two-man version of Neor-Yatten's ShadoWing-4 glider. (GG2)

Shadowlands
This was the name given to the deepest, densest part of the forest floor on the planet Kashyyyk, by the ancient Wookiees. It was believed that Rothrrrawr lost the blade to Bacca's Ceremonial Blade while fighting a creature - which later became known as the Great Beast - in the Shadowlands. (KOTOR)

Shadowmen
This was the common name used to describe the race of beings that inhabited the planet Nivek. The Shadowmen were a race of rail-thin, insectile humanoids who resembled walking skeletons. They evolved unique adaptations to living in the near-total darkness of Nivek's environment, and had incredibly sensitive night-vision. As a people, the Shadowmen were known as skilled hunters and trackers. During the height of the Clone Wars, the Shadowmen sided with the Separatists, and allowed a weapons facility to be erected on the surface of Nivek. (CWA1)

Shadownet
This was the term used to describe any communications network used to bypass the HoloNet, after Emperor Palpatine instituted the New Order. The Empire quickly assumed control of the HoloNet, limiting access to it by independent news agencies and using it to disseminate propaganda on how the Empire was better than the Old Republic and its reliance on the Jedi Order. Shadownets sprang up on many worlds and across many sectors within months of the HoloNet's remissioning, as a grass-roots method of sharing the truth about the Empire. (LJ1)

Shadowpaw
This was a form of spice that was created during the height of the New Order. It was popular among smugglers. (SWGAL)

Shadowport
This was the term used to describe any starport that catered to the less-reputable spacers of the galaxy, and provided services without requiring official licensing or notification. (FOP)

Shadow's Embrace
This was a form of martial arts training that was popular with spies and espionage agents, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. By training in these techniques, individuals could learn how to move as if they were hiding in shadows, giving them the ability to move about virtually unseen. (SWGAL)

Shadowsilk
This strong, flexible thread had a number of uses in weapons and armor. It was incredibly durable and had a high tensile strength, and was often braided to form the bowstrings on bolt-throwers. When woven into fabric, shadowsilk actually absorbed ambient light and sound. This fabric was used by Ayelixe/Krongbing in the creation of Shadowsuits for the Alliance. (ROE, AEG)

Shadowspawn, Lord
This Imperial Lord led the Imperial resistance on the planet Mindor, before being defeated by Luke Skywalker and the armies of the New Republic, a little over a year after the Battle of Endor. Lord Shadowspawn rose to power during the months that followed the death of Emperor Palpatine at Endor, directing his black-armored stormtroopers in a series of forays against the New Republic. Few beings knew who he was or where he had come from, but everyone who met him was instantly aware of his charisma and power. In appearance, Lord Shadowspawn was a tall, humanoid being who was distinguished by his pale skin and piercing eyes. He wore a large hat that was shaped like an upside-down crescent moon, which framed and drew attention to his face. His teeth seemed to be pointed, and he rarely ever smiled. Shadowspawn's reputation attracted many former Imperial soldiers and military advisors who were tired of the bickering that was going on between the Moffs and the military leaders. The fact that he used secret Imperial codes to communicate his commands only added credence to his claim to have been hand-picked by Emperor Palpatine himself. To these initial recruits, Shadowspawn played the holothriller Luke Skywalker and the Jedi's Revenge, a story that Shadowspawn himself had created to explain the events that occurred at the Battle of Endor. As the holothriller unfolded, Shadowspawn explained that he was merely the steward of the Empire, working to restore Luke Skywalker to his rightful place as the Emperor's chosen successor.

However, these few recruits were not enough to create an army, so Shadowspawn began launching his raids. These attacks were meant to undermine the fragile stability of the fledgling government, and were successful in all aspects. However, few beings in the New Republic realized that most of these missions were actually diversions, allowing Shadowspawn's minions to take prisoners that could be re-conditioned to serve in his army. Early investigations by the New Republic Intelligence agency could find no record of any being named Shadowspawn in Imperial records, so they were unable to identify who he really was. Adding to Shadowspawn's mystery was the fact that his soldiers refused to be captured in battle, and would blow themselves apart rather than being captured. This left the Republic without any evidence that might be traced back to Shadowspawn. However, using miniature transponders in their flechette torpedoes, Republic military forces were able to get enough data to track Shadowspawn to a base on Mindor, in the Taspan System. However, the location had been chosen because the debris field from the Big Crush had left hundreds of asteroids and meteors in orbit around the planet.

Shadowspawn knew that the New Republic would come looking for him, and prepared to meet Skywalker when he arrived. Although his minions were worried, Shadowspawn had to fear when Skywalker surrendered himself to Norris Prang, and demanded to be brought to the Shadow Throne. Deep within Mindor's crust, Lord Shadowspawn received Skywalker, and challenged the young man to a duel, knowing that his own death by Skywalker's hand would signal the beginning of a new Empire. However, Shadowspawn had little skill in the art of sword-fighting, and his crystalline blade was no match for Luke's lightsaber. Skywalker, however, refused to attack, instead reaching out with the Force to try and identify who Shadowspawn really was. Luke realized that the name Shadowspawn was nothing more than another way of saying Lord Shadow's Pawn, and decided that he needed to end the battle at once, and find out who was the real threat. Instead of killing Shadowspawn, however, Luke punched him in the forehead and pulled off his Moon Hat. The hat ripped out a set of filaments that had been buried in Shadowspawn's head, creating a bloody mess of his head. When Luke pressed him for his true identity, Shadowspawn identified himself as Nick Rostu.

In the minutes that followed, Nick explained that the Moon Hat he had been wearing was created by Lord Cronal, the agent known as Blackhole. The crystal filaments allowed Blackhole to manipulate Nick's actions, to see through Nick's eyes, and hear with Nick's ears. When Luke asked how Nick had come to serve as Lord Shadowspawn, Nick explained that he had been searching for Blackhole, but it was himself who was captured. Lord Cronal, Blackhole's true identity, had been searching for a more able being to serve him in his quest to transfer his consciousness into Skywalker's body. Nick was chosen for his natural connection to the Force, and served as Lord Shadowspawn, the strongest of Cronal's Pawns. Although Luke was captured while he spoke with Nick, Cronal feared that the fact that Luke only punched Nick might be a problem, since his visions of the future had shown Luke killing Nick. Further adding to Cronal's concern was the fact that the deadman switch in Shadowspawn's Crown had not worked as planned. Luke later discovered that the blow he had delivered to Nick's head had actually cracked the crystalling matrix that was growing inside his brain, severing his connection to Lord Cronal. (ECH, NECH, LSSM)

Shadowstone
This unusual stone was the powerful opposite of the Sunstar. The Shadowstone was controlled by the Tulgah witch Morag for many years, until it was stolen by the Ewok shaman Logray and combined with the Sunstar. The two stones provided enough energy for Logray to defeat Morag and maintain the freedom of the Ewoks. Logray then hid the Shadowstone and the Sunstar, keeping them separate and working to ensure that no other Ewoks tried to control their powers. (ECAR)

Shadowstrike
This unusual Ta-Ree magic allowed the wielder to "send" a physical blow at an opponent, without actually coming into contact with the opponent. The force of the blow would be equivalent to an actual punch thrown by the wielder, but allowed the wielder to remain at a distance from their opponent. (E)

Shadowsuit
This was the specialized form of lightweight, armored bodysuit produced by Ayelixe/Krongbing for use by the Alliance's Infiltrators. The shadowsuit provided a variety of passive stealth and anti-sensor benefits, mainly derived from the use of specialized fabrics such as shadowsilk. (ROE, AEG)

Shadowtroopers
This was the name of the elite stormtrooper unit which specialized in undercover, special-forces type operations for the Empire. The origins of this unit were traced back to the shadow troopers who were part of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Also known as Storm Commandos, these forces were initially trained by Crix Madine, before he defected to the Alliance. The Shadowtroopers, however, were considered very useful by the Emperor himself, and remained as a part of the military structure. Like Alliance SpecForce troops, the Shadowtroopers were used to infiltrate secure areas and break open stalemated situations. Shadowtroopers remained part of the Imperial military for many years following the Battle of Endor. (ROE, JK2, SWDB)

Shadren V
This planet was the site of an Imperial base which was destroyed by the Alliance shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (GG10)

Sha'Dria
This enigmatic woman worked as a bartender at the Oasis, located within the Bantha Traxx establishment on Lianna. Her background was unknown to almost everyone but herself, and she covered her true identity with a mask she called a N'Noch. A physically attractive woman, Sha'Dria was also a good listener and had a wealth of wisdom, just a few of the reasons she was such a good bartender. She could also handle herself in a fight, and actually destroyed Haelon Tice's hand when he got too friendly with her one night. (WSV)

Shadun
This pant produced a fragrant clove at its base. The clove, once it was de-thorned and peeled, could be crushed to add an exotic flavor to many dishes. (HNN5)

Shaelas
This male Selkath approached the Jedi Knights who were on Manaan, during the Great Sith War, to investigate the disappearance of several Selkath youths. Shaelas feared that they had been captured by the Sith, a fear that was proven correct. However, the Jedi also discovered that Shasa and the other Selkath had been falsely lured to the Sith base as part of a plot to infiltrate the Selkath people. In the end, Shasa was freed and the Sith treachery was exposed. (KOTOR)

Shaelo Cliffs
The Empire had a base located within these cliffs during the Galactic Civil War. The cliffs were located on the planet Harix. (CSWEA)

Shaft, The
This was the name of the longest corridor located on the Jubilee Wheel space station. (HT)

Shag
This Huttese term for "slave" was almost always used in a disparaging way. When used by one Hutt to describe another, it was also one of the gravest of insults. (IS1, RCTZ)

Shag
This term, used in the Elrood Sector, was an affectionate nickname for a Wookiee. (PG3)

Shag Fern
This species of quick-growing fern was native to the planet Kashyyyk. (HT)

Shah, Eyal
This red-haired man was a native of Corellia, but lived on the planet Dantooine shortly after the Battle of Yavin. He tried to capture Tash Arranda when she entered the Jedi ruins on the planet, but was stopped by the Shi'ido Hoole. He claimed to be a member of the Alliance base which was supposedly abandoned prior to the Battle of Yavin, but was fully manned when Eyal led them to the base. He hoped they could restore the base's dilaptidated freighter to working order. Eyal also told them that the Alliance had abandoned them on the planet. It was later revealed that Eyal and his "rebels" were part of an experimental cloning process that created clones in just over two weeks, rather than the year it normally took, using the rapid cloning technique. The Empire used the legends of the Jedi ruins to keep the native Dantari away from the lab, which was built beneath the ruins. Several versions of Eyal had been created. (GOF11)

Shahar, Blim
This member of the Alliance was stationed on asteroid AX-456, and had a birthday shortly before the asteroid was captured by the Empire. (SFE)

This man served the Alliance as a sensor operator at the base on the planet Arbra, in the months following the Battle of Hoth. (LTA5, MC58)

Shahverdian, Rafe
This man was Denno Yanglan's only true friend, during Yanglan's service to the Empire on the planet Bakura. When Yanglan defected to the Alliance, Shahverdian joined him. (TBSB)

Shai, Dranae
This Yuuzhan Vong warrior, a relative of Shedao Shai, confronted Corran Horn after the Jedi had rescued a group of slaves with the help of Ganner Rhysode. Rhysode himself was supposed to have fled, but returned to rescue Corran. Corran had nearly defeated Dranae, although the Vong warrior had mortally wounded the Jedi with a bite from his amphistaff. Corran used the Force to attract a group of slashrats to Dranae's struggling body, and the vicious creatures swiftly consumed him. Corran eventually survived, thanks to Ganner's rescue, and became a prime target for Shedao Shai's vengeance. (DTO)

Shai, Mongei
This ancestor of Shedao Shai was one of the first Yuuzhan Vong warriors to visit the known galaxy, some fifty years before the start of their invasion along Vector Prime. He was killed on Bimmiel by a pack of slashrats, and his remains were mummified in a cave until their discovery by Doctor Anki Pace. Shedao Shai himself returned with the second wave of Yuuzhan Vong invaders, but was defeated at Dantooine before he could reach Bimmiel. He later traveled to Bimmiel, but was unable to locate Mongei Shai's remains, primarily because the magnetic field of Bimmiel had shifted, altering the coordinates at which his remains lay in wait. (DTO)

Shai, Neira
This Yuuzhan Vong warrior, a relative of Shedao Shai, was killed when Corran Horn and Ganner Rhysode rescued the slaves being held by the Yuuzhan Vong on Bimmiel, during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (DTO)

Shai, Ona
This Yuuzhan Vong, a member of Domain Shai, was the commander of the worldship Baanu Miir, during the invasion of the known galaxy. She was younger than the ship's primary Shaper, Nen Yim, yet held the rank of Prefect. Ona Shai had been born with a slight stoop to her spine, but was allowed to survive because it did not impede her abilities. Nonetheless, living with the deformity had given Ona Shai an air of exciteability and irritability, which came out when Nen Yim discovered that the Baanu Miir was going to die before another worldship could be grown in the shipwomb near Sernpidal. Ona Shai grew impatient with the lack of progress in reparing the ship, especially after Master Shaper Kae Kwaad came aboard. She was unaware that the Master was investigating Nen Yim's heretical approach to Shaping at the behest of Supreme Overlord Shimrra. (EVR)

Shai, Sakanga
This Yuuzhan Vong warrior was stationed aboard the Baanu Miir during the invasion of the known galaxy. Sakanga Shai was one of the oldest Yuuzhan Vong onboard the ship, nad had a mummy-like pallor to his skin and scars. (EVR)

Shai, Shedao
This Yuuzhan Vong commander assumed control of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy after Nom Anor failed to secure the intial worlds of Vector Prime. Shedao himself tasted defeat on Bimmiel and Dantooine, but regained control and decided to strike out against the Jedi Knights. Shedao was a descendant of the famed Mongei Shai, whose expedition was one of the first to venture into the galaxy some fifty years before the assault on Belkadan and Dubrillion. Shedao had hoped to recover the body of his ancestor, but Doctor Anki Pace and her team recovered the remains in order to better study the Yuuzhan Vong. After learning that the Jedi defeated and killed two members of his famly on Bimmiel, Shedao Shai felt a need to know more about the New Republic and the Jedi. Thus, when Elegos A'Kla submitted himself as an emmissary, Shedao Shai agreed to show him everything about the Yuuzhan Vong. He was questioned constantly by his second in command, Deign Lian, who was secretly working with the Yuuzhan Vong Warmaster to further the invasion's progress as quickly as possible. In the end, though, Shedao Shai was forced to strangle Elegos with his bare hands. He then had the Caamasi's skeletong gilded and sent back to Corran Horn, who had killed Shai's kin. Shedao Shai demanded retribution and the return of Mongei Shai's remains, despite the pleas of Deign Lian to abandon his "personal agenda." After the Battle of Garqi, Shedao Shai agreed to a duel with Corran on the surface of Ithor. The stakes were simple: the winner obtained possession of Ithor. Corran managed to defeat and kill Shedao Shai in the struggle, leaving Deign Lian in control of the Yuuzhan Vong forces. Despite the honor of Shedao Shai's death, Deign Lian went ahead with his own plans and wiped out all life on Ithor. (DTO, DTR)

Shai, Sin
This was a noted member of the Nagai race. (UANT)

Shak

Shak
This was the Eickarie word for "ready". (SQ)

Sha-kae
This was one of the many Eickarie clans that made up the Si-shae-ral tribe on the planet Kariek, during the height of the New Republic. (FB)

Shaka-ka
This Barabel hunter and tactician organized her fellow Barabels against the atrocities committed by Planetary Safaris against her people. The safari corporation petitioned the Empire to eradicate the "savages," despite the fact that the Barabel were obviously sentient. When Captain Alater and sector governor Paro Lanto exposed Planetary Safaris' deception and admitted Barab I into the Empire, Shaka-ka commissioned and built the city and starport at Alater-ka. (GG4)

Shaka-ka Memorial
This memorial, erected in honor of the Barabel visionary Shaka-ka, was built in the city of Alater-Ka. However, when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Barab I, the Memorial was destroyed. (FH1)

Shaker
This stock R2-series astromech was one of many such droids that made up the maintenance droid pool at the Drewwa Spaceport, during the years following the Swarm War. When Ben Skywalker appropriated Helamian Barkid's Y-Wing fighter, he assaulted Shaker's human controller and rendered her unconscious before taking the droid and installing it in the Y-Wing as a co-pilot. Shaker accompanied Skywalker to Ziost, where the young Jedi hoped to locate the Amulet of Kalara.

On Ziost, Shaker tried to help Skywalker carry out whatever mission he was on, but the young Jedi refused to accept the astromech's help. He even kicked Shaker in the dome when the droid suggested that Skywalker explain his mission, so that Shaker could complete it if the young man were injured. Shaker remained steadfast, however, expending nearly its entire energy supply to ensure Ben was able to continue his mission.

When Ben discovered a Sith Meditation Sphere on Ziost, he used it to escape from his pursuers and return to Drewwa. There, he turned Kiara over to the authorites, and returned Shaker to its rightful owners. (LF4, LF5)

Shaki, Kisa
This woman worked for Jabba the Hutt as a manager at the Swift Hutt Spacer's Service Depot, during the height of the New Order. When Jabba was killed just prior to the Battle of Endor, Shaki murdered her pit boss and assumed control of the Service Depot, then began plotting a way to take control of Jabba's criminal empire. Shaki gathered many of Jabba's former mercenaries and guards, and formed a militaristic organization of her own. Her main competition came from Qes Dollis, and the two spent most of their resources pummeling each other's forces, and neither was able to take advantage of Jabba's death. (RESB)

Shakka
This Lethan Twi'lek was the female companion of Graxol Kelvyyn. (SWK, YJC6)

Shakka
This was a common name given to Twi'lek females, and meant "lightning" in the Twi'leki language. (GCG)

Shakker
This Lambda-class shuttle was captured by Imperial forces, several months after the Battle of Hoth. The Shakker had been escorting the corvettes Moor 1 and Moor 2 on a mission to investigation the construction of the NL-1 space station in the Pakuuni System, when the ships were intercepted by Imperial vessels. The Imperials were able to disable or destroy the corvettes, and the crew of the Shakker was able to rescue the command crews. However, the Shakker was intercepted by the transport Saryi and captured, and the crews were taken to the Imperial frigate Ludwick for interrogation. (TIE, TIEP)

Shakko
This man served as the Captain of the starship Cavalcade, which was owned by the BloodScar Pirates, during the height of the New Order. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the BloodScars made a pick-up on Crovna, where their ship was infiltrated by Mara Jade, who had been investigating the trail of deceit that started with Moff Glovstoak and his illegal art collection. Her search led her to Crovna, and then to the BloodScars. Once aboard their ship, Mara hid out for several days before being discovered by Shakko and his men. In a brief firefight, Mara used her lightsaber to deflect one of Shakko's blaster bolts back at him, catching him in the throat and killing him almost instantly. She later escaped with the help of Tannis, and set out to hunt down the rest of the BloodScars. (A)

Shakra
This bounty hunter was one of the few who accepted the challenge of capturing Bornan Thul, after the Alderaanian stole a datadisk from Nolaa Tarkona. She nearly outwitted Boba Fett by capturing Thul's ship and boarding it, but Thul had set it to self-destruct if he were captured, and Shakra died in the explosion. Shakra was a frilled, reptiloid. (TEP)

Shakri Lia
This sword was the symbol of the King of the Kentra people. The name "Shakri Lia" translated to "honor bound" in the Kentra language. (SWJ2)

Shal, Dira
This Iotran was a prominent weapons manufacturer, as well as the Chief Constable of the Gettiarn SpaceStation. (GG12)

Shala
This Hutt maintained a group of pirates attached to the Invids. Shala and much of his team were nearly killed in a attack on a spice shipment coming out of Kessel, when New Republic warships intercepted them. One of his freighters was sucked into the Maw before Leonia Tavria could arrive with the Invidious and drive off the Republic's forces. When Corran Horn began scaring the residents of Vlarnya with his "avenging Jedi" persona, Shala simply took it as a challenge and began to have his pirates perform more and more heinous crimes, in an effort to draw out the Jedi. Shala also had his demolitions expert, Rach'talik, create a trap for him. However, Shala overestimated the Twi'lek's loyalty. Rach'talik built a trap that would kill both Shala and the Jedi. When Corran attempted to remove the deadHutt switch Shala was holding, the only thing he did was scare the Hutt into dropping it. Rach'talik's laser-flechette armaments went off perfectly, reducing Shala to a puddle of laser-blasted flesh. Corran managed to escape with the help of the Force. (IJ)

Shala
This was one of the many Twi'leki clans which were native to the planet Ryloth. In the Twi'leki language, the clan's name meant "crying" or "tearful". (GCG)

Shala, Ree

This woman was one of Rukil's younger apprentices, living in the Undercity of Taris during the era of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)

Shalera
This Hutt maintained a small criminal operation on the planet Corellia, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Unknown to even his closest advisors, most of Shalera's operations ended up supporting the efforts of the Alliance. (SWG2P)

Shalik
This family of Sedrians was one of the few that lived off-planet from Sedri. They were employed by the Empire to maintain the Imperial aquaria on Kailor V. (GG4)

Shalini
This slender woman was one of the leaders of the Typha-Dor resistance, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Along with her husband, Mezdec, Shalini rallied people from throughout the Uziel System for her crusade against the invasion plans of the Vanqors. Although she was saddened when a traitor was discovered in their midst, Shalini was even more dishearted to learn that the traitor was actually Mezdec. Luckily for the Typha-Dor people, the data regarding the Vanqor invasion plans was contained on a datadisk that was in Shalini's control. She turned the disc over to Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, in the hopes that they could get to Typha-Dor and transmit the information back to the Old Republic. (JQ7)

Shaliqua, Diva
This blue-haired Theelin woman was one of Jabba the Hutt's favorite slave dancers. She was in his control during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Her parents - one human, the other Theelin - had been indentured to Ingoda the Hutt, and had conceived Shaliqua in secret. When Ingoda learned of their duplicity, he could barely contain his rage. However, he kept Shaliqua alive, hoping that she would mature into a true Diva. Shaliqua made friends with another Theelin female, Diva Funquita, and both were later sold by Ingoda to Jabba the Hutt as payment for a business deal. Shaliqua became a member of Jabba's house band, although Funquita was later sold to Gardulla the Hutt. During the Boonta Eve podrace that saw young Anakin Skywalker defeat Sebulba, Shaliqua found herself the object of attention of a Corsucant human named Romeo Treblanc. Treblanc later purchased Shaliqua from Jabba and freed her. They returned to Coruscant, and Treblanc provided Shaliqua with the chance to study and train with the staff of the Galaxies Opera House. Shaliqua felt no loyalty to Treblanc, and later robbed his residence and fled into the underworld, unaware that he was planning to give her a role in an upcoming opera. Shaliqua managed to have a legitimate career in the entertainment district of Coruscant, working under a stage name that hid her true identity. Note that the Young Jedi Collectible Card Game - Boonta Eve Podrace expansion indicates that Diva was this character's species. (IG1, YJC6, SWDB)

Shalk
This was the name of the son of Dinua Jeban and Jintar. Shalk, the grandson of Goran and Medrit Beviin, was about seven years old at the height of the Corellia-GA War, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. (LF5)

She was rescued by the freelance agents who had been employed by CreedCon Construction to locate a group of missing employees near the Jaraana lands. (FOC1)

Shallamar
This female Barabel once accused Han Solo of cheating at sabacc on Barab One, shortly after Han had been discharged from the Imperial Navy. He had won fair and square, but Shallamar was angry. Her female Devaronian partner fled the encounter, so Shallamar attacked by herself. Han tried to draw his blaster, but the sight hung up in his holster. The fight was quickly ended when Chewbacca picked up Shallamar and flung her across the room. Han and Chewie fled into the night. After the encounter, Han filed off the blaster's sight for easier drawing. He met up with Shallamar again on Cloud City, for the huge sabacc tournament there. She had to be physically restrained from injuring Solo, because she still held a grugde against him. The casino security on Cloud City proved that Han was free of skifters and other sabacc cheating devices, and Shallamar was sent on her way. (THG, RD)

Shallence, Ellisa
This Baroness-Administrator of Cloud City was in charge of the outpost when Lobot was arrested for theft. She made the young rogue a deal: spend a lifetime in prison, or serve Cloud City as a cyborg computer interface. Lobot chose to serve the City. (GG2, EGC)

Shal'mak
This unusual being was one of Prince Xizor's primary lieutenants at Xizor Transport Systems on Coruscant, during the years surrounding the Clone Wars. Shal'mak was distinguished by the two ridged tusks that hung from his cheekbones, and the bony frill that protected the top of his skull. (EAP)

Shalo
This man started his own cantina in the city of Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, during the period leading up the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Supported by a criminal network, Shalo hoped to take away a good portion of Chalmun's business. Shalo got his start in the criminal underworld working for Durga the Hutt as a hired gun, and eventually worked his way up the criminal chain. Shortly after the Battle of Duro, Shalo double-crossed Han Solo by trying to capture Jacen Solo for the bounty on his head, placed there by the Yuuzhan Vong. When Talon Karrde and Shada D'ukal showed up to support Han, Shalo backed off, claiming that he wouldn't actually turn Jacen in. He said that he would have simply extorted protection money from Han. (EVR)

She infiltrated the Alliance in the city of Chinshassa, which had been devastated by a civil war between the wilderness barbarians and the city-dwelling humans. (MC60, UANT)

Shalyx'har'zan
This was a common name among the Duinuogwuin who had been encountered in the galaxy. (GORW)

Shaman of the Whills
This was the term used to describe one of the leading members of the Ancient Order of the Whills. (SWI93)

Shamarok
This species of small, flying rodent was native to the planet Ithor. Also known as Ithorian flitters, these creatures were noted for their ability to mimic the voices and sounds of other creatures. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, shamaroks were very popular on certain Imperial worlds, especially Lianna, and the smuggling of shamaroks became a lucrative business. (SWJ3, DTR, OWS)

Shamarok-class Herdship

This was the name used by the Brolfi to describe a ceremonial pillar, to which criminals and other ill-doers were strapped, as a punishment for their actions. Usually, a Brolfi individual was pinioned to the shame post by binding their wrists behind their back and tying them to the post, thereby restricting their range of motion and forcing them to face the disappointment and scorn of passersby. (OF)

Shamed Ones
This was the name used by the Yuuzhan Vong to describe those warriors who suddenly were unable to withstand the intense scarring and ritual deformation of their species. Other Yuuzhan Vong were Shamed from birth, simply unable to withstand the impants and scarring. The Yuuzhan Vong believed that their gods had deemed an individual unworthy of continued favor, and changed their bodies. The ritual scarring became infected, and implants failed to take root. While these Yuuzhan Vong usually failed in their missions, they were considered too valuable to sacrifice to the gods. They were reduced in caste, relegated to the Shamed Ones, and forced to be humble and utile to their masters. The Shamed Ones believed that the generation-spanning mission to conquer the New Republic was ordained to be their salvation, for Yun-Shuno would redeem the Shamed Ones once the unclean galaxy was cleansed of heretics. Their beliefs were given a measure of credence when Vua Rapuung was revealed to have been infected by Mezhan Kwaad. The Shamed Ones now had evidence that a member of their caste could redeem him- or herself, because his disease was not god-given but merely a natural occurance. They also began wondering if their lower-class standing was not ordained by the gods, but imposed upon them by the higher castes. Also, Vua Rapuung's experiences with Anakin Solo gave the Shamed Ones hope for redemption, and the belief that the Jedi Knights were their hoped-for saviors spread quickly after Yuuzhan Vong were defeated on Yavin 4.

Shamunaar
This large, predatory sauropod was native to the planet Roon, and was the only threat to the wild banthas which lived there. (EGP)

Shamunaar
This Galactic Alliance frigate was dispatched to the Bothawui System, during the Corellia-GA War, when rumors surfaced that the Bothans might try to join the Corellians in seceding from the Galactic Alliance. The ship was under the command of Captain Biurk, who was charged with overseeing the reconnaissance of Bothan activities, as well as to ensure that no Bothan warships left the system at any time. Captain Biurk was surprised when Admiral Matric Klauskin suddenly took command of the vessel, since Klauskin had spent the previous several months at the Veterans' Mental Care Hospital on Coruscant.

Unknown Biurk and his crew, Klauskin had managed to escape the facility with the help of the Dark Lady of the Sith, Lumiya, and was on the Shamunaar to render it unable to prevent any Bothan movements. Klauskin lured Biurk to the emergency bridge and shot him dead, then vented the atmosphere from the entire ship, killing the crew. Klauskin then turned the ship over to Tathak K'roylan, and gave the Bothan a chance to launch his war fleet. (LF4)

Shamus
This modifed Nebulon-B2 frigate served as Admiral Zaarin's command ship, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The Shamus was charged with transporting various TIE prototypes that were being developed by Sienar Fleet Systems, which made it a prime target for Alliance starships. Despite the fact that its cargo was often well-known to the enemy, the Shamus managed to survive each encounter, and the TIE Fighter program continued to grow because of the efforts of Zaarin and his crew. What was unknown to Zaarin's superiors was the fact that he had visions of taking over the Empire, and the Shamus served as the flagship of Zaarin's daring attack on Emperor Palpatine at Coruscant. (TIE, TIEP)

Shamus 2
This was the designation of the modified frigate that was maintained as part of Admiral Zaarin's fleet, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. Zaarin kept the Shamus 2 on active duty, as a decoy for any enemy ships that might try to attack his flagship frigate, the Shamus. (TIEP)

Shan, Bastila
A native of the planet Talravin, this Jedi Knight was known for her strength with the Force, and was one of the Jedi dispatched to help liberate the planet Taris from the Sith some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. She had been taken from her family at a young age, and she harbored some anger toward the Jedi for this, even after she fully embraced their teachings. Bastila was very young when it was discovered that she had immense skill in the techniques of battle meditation, and the development of this skill placed Bastila on the front lines against the Sith hordes.

While outwardly she appeared overconfident, Bastila was all too aware of her situation and that of the Jedi. She devoted her life to the defeat of the Sith empire, hoping that along the way she would also prove herself as a Jedi Knight. It was rumored that her ability to control a battle with only her connection to the Force was discussed privately among the Sith, who feared her abilities might halt their advances. Her strong skills also worried the Jedi Council, which urged her to proceed with caution rather than on impulse alone. After the capture of Darth Revan and his subsequent forced return to the Light Side of the Force, Bastila was part of the team that was dispatched to Taris aboard the Endar Spire. After escaping Taris, Bastila and her band returned to Dantooine, where she was paired with Revan on a mission to locate Darth Malak and the Star Forge.

They were captured, along with Carth Onasi, by Malak and held aboard the Leviathan, and it was during their escape that Revan learned of the truth behind his return to the Jedi. Bastila attacked Malak in order to allow the others to escape, and was again captured by the Sith. Malak tortured her, driving her to embrace the Dark Side of the Force. She nearly stopped Carth and Revan on the Unknown World of the Rakata, but they were able to drive her off. Later, at the Star Forge, Bastila confronted her former friends, but was unable to defeat them in combat. The Jedi among them, primarily Revan, managed to turn her away from the Dark Side. She returned to the Jedi Code, and helped the Jedi defeat Darth Malak and control the Star Forge. (SWI67, KOTOR, SWDB, EGF)

Shan, Deena
This young woman joined the Alliance shortly after the Battle of Yavin, choosing a life of possible adventure over motherhood or a boring job. As a child, Deena was the only daughter of a man who blamed her for ruining his life, because he had to put his own dreams on hold to marry her mother. He blamed her for not being a boy, and refused to support her own plans for a future. After leaving her home, Deena set out to make a name for herself in the galaxy. After joining the Alliance, she was based out of Etti IV, working aboard the Kalla's Stanchion as a supplies and requisitions agent. She had hoped to meet Han Solo, but was frustrated by his growing attraction to Leia Organa. She found herself flying aboard the Millennium Falcon when the Kalla's Stanchion was attacked by Imperial forces, and Han was forced to transport Leia to a meeting on Aguarl III.

Their first jump into hyperspace went as planned, taking them to a remote corner of the galaxy. However, a distress call forced them to break off the rest of the jump. They found the remains of a ship that crashed on an uncharted planet, but the crew had been consumed by the native wildlife. Han and Chewbacca almost met the same fate, but Leia and Deena managed to reach them in time to blast them free. It was in the quiet time following the battle that Deena realized she had joined the Alliance for the wrong reasons. Instead of searching for her own future, Deena resolved to work harder at ensuring a better future for the rest of the galaxy. She was part of the "command crew" that was assigned to pose as Imperial officers aboard the Nuna's Twins during the Alliance's attempt to infiltrate the labor colony on Kalist VI. Shan pretended to be a science officer, assigned to the Nuna's Twins to investigate fuel consumption at various Imperial outposts.

Her backstory, as well as her good looks, caught the attention of Imperial Captain Roshuir, who agreed to work with her to locate the Alliance forces that abmushed the Nuna's Twins. She allowed herself to become involved with Roshuir, and leaked information to him about news of an Alliance base on Thila. Despite the fact that information was leading Roshuir into an Alliance trap, Deena had second thoughts about her actions, as she had begun to feel genuine affection for Roshuir. However, her devotion to the Alliance eventually overcame her emotions, and Deena took the helm of the Nuna's Twins during their escape. Their mission was ultimately successful, as the Alliance team was able to secure both Jorin Sol and the Jabiimi slaves aboard the Nuna's Twins and flee into hyperspace.

Despite this success, Deena fell into a morose state, and was often found drunk in a hangar bay. Her morale was only marginally improved when she survived a sudden attack from the brainwashed Jorin Sol, and Deena later accompanied Luke Skywalker on an illegal mission to meet Janek Sunber. The mission turned out to be a trap, and Deena was dismayed to learn that the first Imperial officer on the scene was Captain Roshuir. They managed to escape with Sunber in tow, but were thrown into the brig of the Rebel One upon returning to the Alliance fleet. Deena was eventually cleared of any charges, but she came to the realization that she had not, and probably would not, become the hero she always wanted to be. She decided to leave the Alliance and set out on her own, but the ship was dragged out of hyperspace when it neared Bannistar Station.

This event put her in the middle of the Alliance's hasty attempt to destroy the station, forcing her to put off her plans. She decided to join the team that would infiltrate the station, hoping to one last chance to prove herself. She got more than she wished for when the attack on the station was discovered by the Imperials who were onboard. Deena was separated from Luke Skywalker when he tried to draw off a group of stormtroopers, leaving her as the only rebel in a position to complete the mission by disabling Bannistar Station's main cooling systems. She managed to reach the control center and stun the guards and operators, then set out to shut down the cooling systems. While connected to the station's computers, Deena discovered that the Empire was planning a massive attack on a civilian planet that was believed to harbor rebel elements. However, before she could report on it, she was attacked by Rishyk, who tried to strangle her before throwing her against a wall.

Relying on her wits, Deena grabbed a shard of broken glass and stabbed Rishyk in the knee, then used a thermal detonator to knock out a large part of Rishyk's stormtrooper escort. She fled onto a gantry that led to the refueling dock where the Star Destroyer Certainty was docked, but found her escape route was nothing more than a dead end. Thinking quickly, she dropped her last thermal detonator into an open fuel line that was connected to the Star Destroyer, knowing that the resulting explosion would kill not only Rishyk but herself as well. Thus, she was surprised and dismayed when she regained consciousness, only to find herself hanging from the remains of the gantry. The rest of the strike team then stole an Imperial shuttle and located her, and she was rescued before she could fall to her death. Upon returning to the Home One, Deena revealed that the planet that had been targetted by the Empire was Ansion.

During her recovery, Deena decided to remain with the Alliance, at least for the short term. (SWEAT, SWEWW, SWRMB, SWRSV)

Shan, Helena
This woman was Bastila Shan's mother. During the height of the Great Sith War, Helena found herself stranded on Tatooine, during her search for daughter. Bastila and a group of other Jedi traveled to Tatooine to verify her story, and Bastila was surprised to find that Helena was actually her mother. They got into a huge argument over Bastila's loyalty to the Jedi Order, and Bastila turned her back on Helena. However, she realized that her mother was her only surviving family member, and returned to patch things up. Helena then revealed that Bastila's father had hidden a holocron in the desert, and allowed Bastila to recover it. (KOTOR)

Shan, Lido
This humanoid worked as a technician on the planet Coruscant, during the height of the Clone Wars. It was Lido Shan who did the first real work to investigate the inner workings of the JK-13 model of combat droid produced by Cestus Cybernetics. When the droid had been finally understood, she made the first JK-13 ready for demonstration at the T'Chuk Arena. (TCD)

Shan, Noor
This female Sullustan served as the Security Chief aboard the Chilastra, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (GMR8)

Shan, Satele
A descendant of Bastila Shan, this woman was trained as a Jedi Knight by Master Dar'nala, during the final years of the Great Galactic War. Satele and her Master were dispatched to the planet Alderaan to attend a peace negotiation between the Old Republic and the Sith, in an attempt to put an end to the continuing skirmishes between the two forces. Despite her Master's words, Satele sensed through the Force that there was something else going on during the negotiations, but she could not clearly identify what it was. When Lord Baras drew his lightsaber before the negotiations could begin, Satele and Master Dar'nala were quick to respond. However, they were both surprised when Baras explained that he did not want to fight, but wanted to continue the peace talks. However, Lord Angral had attacked Coruscant and taken the Supreme Chancellor hostage, in order to ensure that the negotiations were carried out on the terms defined by the Sith. It was later learned that Angral had assassinated the Chancellor, prompting both Jedi to draw their lightsabers in order to defend themselves against a Sith attack. Lord Baras, however, did not want to fight. He calmly stated that his orders were to negotiate a peace treaty.

While her Master backed down, Satele refused to lower her weapon, and was later counseled by Master Dar'nala for losing control of her emotions. Despite the fact that she was a full Jedi Knight, Satele was ordered by Master Zym to apologize to the Sith for her actions. In the wake of the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, Shan and Master Dar'nala were ordered into the Outer Rim Territories, to oversee the orderly withdrawal of Republic troops from Sith-controlled worlds. Before they reached their destination, however, the ship Envoy was attacked. The Sith protocol droid SP-99 feared that the attackers were pirates, and asked the Jedi to investigate. Satele Shan agreed, but encountered soldiers from the Imperial Army had boarded the ship. She killed them a brief struggle, prompting the droid to warn her that her actions violated the newly-signed peace treaty. Satele then learned that Master Dar'nala had been captured by the Sith soldiers, who planned to take her to Korriban for questioning. Dar'nala ordered Satele to escape, an order that Satele quickly carried out, although she vowed to return and rescue her Master. SP-99 followed her into an escape pod, stating that it was merely carrying out its duty as an observer.

Satele Shan was later rescued by Jedi Master Orgus Din and Lieutenant Tavus, who were en route to Balmorra when they discovered her escape pod floating in space. She provided then with a recounting of the attack on the Envoy, then demanded that they launch a mission to rescue Master Dar'Nala. Tavus explained that they were on a diplomatic mission, and that any rescue attempt would have to be delayed. Master Orgus, however, agreed that word of the attack needed to be brought to the attention of the Jedi Council, and decided to contact Master Zym for further instructions. Zym ordered them to recover Fortris Gall and travel to Dantooine, where they were to assist Republic forces in honoring the cease-fire with the Sith. Satele was a bit surprised when Tavus approached her with an offer to get to know one another in a more intimate setting, but she did not quash his efforts, either. While thinking about what he had said, Satele discovered that SP-99 had been destroyed. When she tried to relay information to Master Orgus, he ordered her to remain where she was until things calmed down. Never one to remain still, Satele took up her lightsaber and set out to learn what was happening on Dantooine.

Following the Force, Satele made her way to an ancient crystal cave, where she was surprised to find Master Dar'nala confronting a group of Sith Lords led by Lord Baras. However, Satele learned that it had been Master Dar'nala, and not the Sith, who had been causing trouble between the Sith Empire and the Republic. Baras tried to convince Satele to join him in defeating Dar'nala and restoring peace to the galaxy, causing Satele to pause and question her beliefs. When Dalborra killed Master Dar'nala for her treachery, Lord Angral tried to kill Satele, but Lord Baras held him back, trying instead to convince Satele to join the Sith. She refused, and Baras allowed her to escape the caves, even though she vowed to fight the Sith in the future. (TOP1, TOP2, TOP3)

Shandy's Place
This was the name used by Shandy Fanaso to describe the cabaret and entertainment facility he created aboard the Corellian Gambit, during the early years of the New Order. Fanaso had spent several weeks on the moon Triton Besh, waiting for his transport taxes and tithes to be processed by the insectile beings who lived on the moon. After enduring the time without any form of intoxicants or entertainment, Fanaso figured out a way to bypass the Rules of Law for the Domains of Triton and established his self-contained business onboard the freighter. He hoped that by keeping everything contained within the ship, and therefore off the Domains of Triton, that he could reap a profit while keeping laid-over spacers happy. The motto of the cabaret was "Leave Your Tracts at the Door", referring to the religious documents that the insects forced into every newcomers' hands. Fanaso's insect guide, Mactimentus, could not initially find any reason to shut the place down or impose any taxes on Fanaso's operations, but Mactimentus became increasingly worried about the number of spacers who visited Shandy's Place. He was also worried about the huge number of insects who were forced to wait outside, while their offworld charges drank away the day. Fanaso, however, only had visions of the credits he was raking in. He eventually sold the Corellian Gambit to purchase the Shandy's Pleasure Palace, in an effort to make even more profit. (OWS)

Shandy's Pleasure Palace
This was the name used by Shandy Fanaso to describe the Whaladon-class container ship he purchased during the early years of the New Order. He loaded the ship with all the supplies needed to turn it into a fully-stocked cantina and entertainment hall, then set out for Triton Besh. The Shandy's Pleasure Palace was purchased with the profit Fanaso had made from the Shandy's Place cantina, and might have helped him overcome his debt if the insects on Triton Besh had not altered the Rules of Law in order to prevent it. Some forty-three new laws had been enacted since Fanaso's last visit, and his new enterprise violated every one of them, plus a few more. The new laws also required that, in order to make reparations for his crimes, Fanaso had to turn over Shandy's Pleasure Palace and its entire contents to the insects, as well as perform devotion-service by reciting the words of the Tract of Gactimus at the one legal cantina in Triton Besh Port. (OWS)

Shang Lines
This shipping and transportation corporation served the Endocray Sector during the Galactic Civil War. (IA)

Shanga, Klyn
This man was once a simple farmer from the planet Renatasia III, who worked his land in the Mathilde nation-state during the final years of the Old Republic. Shanga was also a fighting man, having served as a warrior in the various interstate wars on Renatasia III. His face was covered with so many scars it appeared he had no original skin on his face. Shanga was forced to accept the role of a militia leader in the wake of the destruction of the Renatasia System at the hands of an Imperial task force. Although the Imperials had been led to the Renatasia System by the reports of Osuna Whett, it was Vuffi Raa whom the Renatasians believed was the cause of the attack. Shanga, like his follow countrymen, saw Vuffi Raa as the leader of the so-called archaeological expedition, and so they named him the Butcher of Renatasia. From among the survivors of the Imperial attack, Shanga gathered a rag-tag team of vigilantes who set off across the galaxy to kill Vuffi Raa. He was known by many titles in his rag-tag militia, including Fleet Admiral of the Renatasian Confederation. Shanga and his men nearly captured the droid and its new master, Lando Calrissian, on the Oseon System during the period of the Flamewind of Oseon, but Lando managed to escape before the Renatasians could prevent it. He briefly held Shanga prisoner before leaving him behind. Shanga's militia, which consisted of an equally rag-tag set of twenty-four starfighters linked to a powerful hyperdrive engine, was later hired by Rokur Gepta, who played Shanga's anger at Vuffi Raa against his own need for revenge against Lando. It was during this time that Shanga realized that Gepta's advisory, Osuna Whett, was the true Butcher of Renatasia. Rather than attacking Vuffi Raa at the StarCave of ThonBoka, Shanga and his men turned on Whett's vessel, causing it to crash into the Wennis and disintegrate. This freed Shanga and his men from their vendetta, and they limped back to Renatasia III to rebuilt their lives. (LCF, LCS)

Shanh
This was the apex predator of the planet Ansion. The head of the shanh was dominated by its large teeth, while it moved about on six powerful legs.

Once a year, though, Shanko had to hibernate for about a month, during which time Droq'l served as the sole bartender. (SA, DIV)

Shanko's Hive
This drinking and dining establishment was located within the Borgo Prime asteroid, during the height of the New Republic. It was a cone-shaped building sealed in its own atmosphere, with grayish-green wall coverings that served to keep the patrons from getting too rowdy. (SA, DIV)

Shanks
This man was one of many lieutenants serving Orman Tagge, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. Shanks originally took the position of liaison to the House of Tagge in an effort to further his career, but the continual failure of Orman to carry out his plans left Shanks without distinction. Unfortunately for Shanks, he was aboard the Tagge ship when they tried to abmush the Alliance at Junction. They had hoped to use the Omega Frost device to destroy the Alliance fleet, but Luke Skywalker was able to deactive the system and allow the Alliance ships to pass unharmed. They opened fire on the Tagge ship, destroying it in minutes. All hands aboard, including Orman Tagge and Shanks, were killed in the explosion. (MC25, MC33)

Shankti Drive Works
This company was headquartered in the city of D'larah, on the planet Demophon. They were among the forerunners in hyperdrive manufacturing and development, and created the hyperdrive motivators used on Imperial-class Star Destroyers. Note that The Far Orbit Project denotes this corporation as Shanki Drive Works. (SN, FOP)

Shannador's Revenge
This Invincible-class Dreadnaught was still in use by the Corporate Sector Authority, during the early years of the New Order. It intercepted a disguised Millennium Falcon when Han Solo and Chewbacca try to escape from Orron III, during their attempt to rescue Rekkon, Atuarre, Pakka, and Torm. The Shannador's Revenge managed to snare the Millennium Falcon with a tractor beam, a feat made easier by the fact that the smaller vessel was attached to a grain-hauling barge at the time. In order to escape, Solo turned the ship around and dumped the entire cargo of grain. The cloud of grain particles wreaked havoc with the tractor beam, allowing Han to disengage the Millennium Falcon from the barge and escape the tractor beam. The barge's hull, however, crashed into the Shannador's Revenge, causing huge amounts of damage. (HSE, CSA)

This Alliance agent was part of the team which was trapped between Imperial forces and the Assassin's Guild in the Tylerin Embankment, on Archais. Shaparo's ability to keep their damaged equipment operating allowed the Alliance team a chance to escape. (AIR)

Shape Throwing
This was the given to the process by which a non-corporeal deity creates a physical manifestation of itself. (CSWDW)

Shaper
This was the term used to describe several different species of polymorphic, predatory creatures that were native to the planet Togoria. They were named for the fact that individual shapers could alter their appearance to blend in with their prey, allowing a shaper to attack from within a group of creatures and make off with its victim before it was discovered. (MIS8)

Shapers
This caste of Yuuzhan Vong society was known for their ability to create living technologies from raw, organic materials. There were three tiers of Shapers: Initiates, Adepts, and Masters. Like most other Yuuzhan Vong castes, the Shapers had a patron diety, known as Yun'N'Shel. As an Adept grew in power and skill, they ritually scarred themselves in ways similar to that of Yuuzhan Vong warriors. However, the mutilations of the Shapers were purely functional. Chief among them was the removal of each natural hand, which were replaced with specially-grown hands equipped with various tools and blades for use in shaping new forms of bio-technology. The right hand was the most obviously different, having a cephalopod shape and eight fingers instead of five. Another distinguishing feature of a Shaper was the unusual headdress they wore, which seemed to writhe like a Medusa's head and was attuned to the Shaper's emotional state. Once the Yuuzhan Vong realized that the Jedi Knights were unusual enough to manipulate the Force - an entity that didn't exist in their galaxy but obviously could be used - several sects of Shapers were put to work on finding a way to exterminate the "Jedi problem." (DTR, EVC, SWI62, UF, UFCD)

Shaping
This was the process in which the annealed seeds of the boras tree were shaped into new forms of boras. The process of shaping seed-disks into Sekotan starships mimicked this natural process. (RP)

Shar, Ayla
A native of the planet Korbin, this woman worked as a miner and resource coordinator for Vulca Minerals before joining the Alliance. She provided the Alliance with a wealth of information on industrial sabotage and resource management, and was instrumental in the hijacking of many Imperial ore haulers. Ayla also served, for a time, as a foster agent. (AIR)

Shar, Shar
This bloated Zeetsa served as an assistant to regent G'Mai Duris, during the height of the Clone Wars. (HIV)

Sharalon
This woman was the main desk manager at the Regal Bothan Hotel during the height of the Galactic Civil War. She was also an Imperial Intelligence agent who had spent most of her career bringing down rebellious cells throughout the Core Worlds. She was assigned to the Regal Bothan after a debacle on Kuat. (SESB)

Shard
Native to the planet Orax, this was a species of intelligent, crystalline lifeform. Their physiology was based on silicon rather than carbon, and they grew to sizes of 40 centimeters in length. They appeared to be simply crystals, but the molecular makeup of their forms resembled a complex form of circuitry which developed its own form of electromagnetic energy, and gave them the ability to think, sense, and interact. The average Shard had a long lifecycle, with the oldest clusters being several thousand years of age. After making contact with early settlers on Orax, the Shards and their human neighbors discovered a way to "disconnect" a Shard from the planet and place it inside a droid body, thereby giving it mobility and enhanced sensory input. These Shards traveled to the corners of the galaxy, attempting to gather information and then return to Orax. During the New Order, Orax was raided for crystals, and many clusters of intelligent life were destroyed, believed to be simply stones. The suriving Shards eventually aligned themselves with the Alliance, and those with droid bodies became some of the Alliance's best spies. (AE)

Shard
This was the nickname given to the clone trooper commander who was assigned to Jedi Master Darrus Jeht, during the height of the Clone Wars. (LFCW)

Shard of Alderaan
This computer slicing program was known to be capable of defeating the security measures of almost any Imperial scandoc. It was created by the Alliance agent known as "Never Die," but was stolen by pirates who worked for Begas Tok. Tok then arranged to auction off the computer program to the highest bidder. He set up an elaborate auction aboard the luxury sail barge Dune Princess, and invited representatives of the Alliance and the Empire, as well as independent interests. Unfortunately for Tok, the sail barge was beset by a sandstorm, and in the resulting confusion, Tok lost the datapad containing the program. It's exact whereabouts were never discovered. (LAA)

Sharda
This woman was a member of the Rabid Mynocks when she met Chop Harlison. They fell in love and got married, produced a daughter named Jardra. Unfortunately, Sharda was killed when the Spiders attacked Mynock territory. (SWJ6)

Shard-class Capital Ship
This was the designation of any form of attack ship developed and produced by the Killik hives of the Colony, during the height of the Swarm War. These vessels measured from 500 meters to ten kilometers in length, but all shared the same basic profile. Roughly conical in shape, a Shard-class vessel had a larger, rounded end, and appeared to have been roughly carved from rock or stone. Its jagged sides and angles made a Shard-class vehicle appear to be a shard of a fragmented asteroid or planetoid. (DN3)

Sharden, Eida
This woman was a wealthy entrepreneur native to the planet Exocron. She was a long-time friend of Captain Horzao Darr, although he didn't know that she was also a member of the western pirates who loathed the Devisors and wanted technology returned to the people. When Darr suggested to Kaiya Adrimetrum that Eida could help free the crew of the FarStar, she agreed, but only if Adrimetrum would provide her with enough technical information to allow her to create modern hyperdrives and computer systems. (KO)

Shardona, Plin
This young woman was an Alliance field procurement working for the Sandwind Team after the Battle of Hoth. (SSR)

Shardra
This smuggler worked in the Corporate Sector, where she met and fell in love with Doc, the former Klaus Vandangante. They were married, and had a daughter, Jessa. Shardra did not live to see her daughter grow up, however, as she was suddenly killed in a fuel dump explosion. (CSA)

Sharene
This was the first of Elrood's two moons. It was named for Sharene, the husband of one of Elrood's first colonists. (PG3)

Sharene
This man, the husband of Lodos, was one of the first colonists to settle the Elrood System many thousands of years ago. (PG3)

Shargael
This Imperial Moff survived the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, managing to maintain control of I-sector in the process. (POT)

Shark
This small fighter, designed by the Mon Calamari for use by Commander Merai's forces during the Clone Wars, was hidden within the hold of Merai's command ship. During the Battle of Kamino, the command ship was forced to crash-land in the oceans of Kamino. Merai himself took the Shark into battle beneath the waves, hoping to destroy the cloning facilities and eliminate the Old Republic's source of clone troopers. While the Shark could function equally well in water, atmosphere, or open space, it took a tremendous amount of power to change from one environment to another. This meant that it had to be launched into the right location for combat, and could not chase down a craft which could move between water and air. The Shark resembled a flat, lozenge-shaped craft, with a small tail fin at the rear, giving it the appearance of a flat-bodied shark. When Merai's forces could not defeat the Jedi defending Kamino, Commander Merai flew the Shark into the midst of the hyperspace rings used by the Jedi starfighters, and activated the self-destruct mechanism. The ship exploded, destroying many of the hyperspace rings and killing Merai, but the resulting confusion allowed Merai's forces to flee into hyperspace. (RDK)

Shark
This Imperial assault transport was part of Vice Admiral Thrawn's task force to subdue the pirates that were hiding in the Pakuuni System, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. During the defense of space station NL-1, the crew of the Shark were able to intercept the Alliance shuttle Electra and capture the rebels inside. (TIE, TIEP)

Shark
This Mobquet combat airspeeder was an ugly, ungainly craft which handled like a crippled bantha. Much of the craft's handling problems came from the wart-like weapons turret that supported the double laser cannon that served as the ship's only weapon. The turret was taken from the P-34 prototype, and was quite powerful despite its effects on the craft's mobility. The Shark measured five meters in length, and required a pilot and gunner to operate. It could carry very little else, with only enough space to handle ten kilograms of cargo. The Shark had a flight ceiling of 300 meters, and could attain speeds of 1,000 kilometers an hour. (GSE)

Shark
This group of Z-95 Headhunters was assigned to the Alliance frigate Inamo, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (TIEP)

Sharka'k
This Gree craftsman created the device which became known as the Sharka'k Noor. It was the premier device in his collection, but he died on Asation before passing on its use to an apprentice. (SWJ14)

Sharka'k Noor
This ancient Gree device was created by Sharka'k, who died before he could pass on its operation to an apprentice. The device was formed from three short cylinders connected by short arms. The outer cylinders were shorter than the central cylinder, and had fingertip-shaped depressions at their tops. The central cylinder was marked by glyphs, and had a display panel. It emitted a deep, bass tone as it was used. Sharka'k designed the Noor to manipulate geological activity of the world on which it was used. It could create new volcanoes, cause earthquakes, and affect changes to the planet's core. It was originally designed as a planetary engineering tool, and Sharka'k guarded its secrets so that it couldn't be used as a weapon. Unfortunately, Sharka'k died before passing on any knowledge of the Noor's operation, and the was stored in the Gree archives for many millennia. It ws later stolen by Doctor Ils Ee, who inadvertently set off a series of volcanic eruptions on Tujiamoor with it. Doctor Ee's whereabouts, and those of the Noor, remain a mystery. (SWJ14)

Sharky
This group of Alliance YT-1300s was destroyed by Imperial forces, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE, TIEP)

Sharky
This smuggler and his gang were one of the first groups to begin smuggling goods to the natives of the planet Ralltiir, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (SWJ3)

Sharlee
This white-haired young woman worked as the sensor and computer technician on Constancia's Outpost 8 defense facility, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Like most such workers, Sharlee spent a local year on the asteroid before being relieved for ground-side work, and much of the year was spent in solitude. To ensure her safety while working on Outpost 8, Sharlee wore a suit of augmented battle armor that gave her the appearance of an ornate battle droid. It was Sharlee who rescued Luke Skywalker and Gamine from their starship, when Imperial forces tried to destroy them. She later showed her skills with a blaster when she accompanied Han Solo on a mission to distract the Imperial forces over Constancia, while Luke and Gamine traveled to the surface. (LAT1)

Sharlissian Trade Corridor
This hyperspace trade route was open during the last decades of the Old Republic, and allowed Coreward planets to do business with planets such as Kabal. In the wake of the Battle of Naboo, the Sharlissian Trade Corridor remained one of the most heavily-taxed trade routes, making it cost-prohibitive for most shipping companies to makes runs. This led to food riots on planets like Kabal. (HNN4)

Sharnaff
This was a species of specially-designed, bio-engineered creature that was found on the planet Corellia. (GQRG)

Sharockk
This intelligent, attractive woman served Santhe/Sienar Technologies as a receptionist at the corporation's Lianna headquarters. She was very good at sifting out the riff-raff from the real businessbeings, and was tough as a Wookiee when it comes to keeping them out. (ML)

Sharp
This was Alliance starfighter pilot slang for a TIE/fc fighter. (SWJ10)

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

Sharp Elbow
This was the name of an Imperial starfighter maneuver in which a ship banked hard to the right, banked again immediately to the left, then again to the right, in order to evade pursuit. (SWED)

Sharp Spiral
This was the name of the Cutlass-9 starfighter owned by Jedi Master Saesee Tiin. The ship was a gift from a grateful diplomat from the planet Duro, and had been heavily modified by Master Tiin over time. With its augmented drive systems, the Sharp Spiral had a Class 1 hyperdrive, and was capable of speeds near 8,000 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. (NEGC, PJSB, NEGV)

Sharpshooter V
This was the brand name of BlasTech's modified blaster carbine. This weapon was fitted with a multi-spectrum targetting sight. This addition, when coupled with the Sharpshooter's tightly-coherent energy bolt, made the weapon deadly accurate over a long range. The primary drawback of this combination was that they drained an incredible amount of power from the weapon, which tended to limit its overall firepower. A civilian version of this weapon, known as the Hunter V, was marketed as a sporting blaster. (ISB)

Sharptooth Collector
This specialized repulsor-equipped sled was developed on Naos III as a way for fishermen to transport their catch to the nearest city for processing. The Naos sharptooth was considered a delicacy in many parts of the galaxy, but it had to be harvested and flash-frozen as soon afterward to maintain the best taste and texture. The sharptooth fishermen couldn't wait until the harvesting was done to offload their catch, so they employed drivers to operate the collectors on regular runs. (LEV)

Sharptooth Langlatch
This subspecies of langlatch, that was native to the planet Lok, was distinguished by its long, sharp fangs. (SWG2P)

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

Sharu
Many fabulous legends held that the Sharu were an unbelievably old, superhumanoid race which inhabited the Rafa System, but which mysteriously disappeared ages ago. They were a technologically-advanced race, as evidenced by the wonderful buildings and monuments they built throughout the system. They left a treasure trove of artifacts behind, many of them left to their descendents, the Toka. One of them was the Mindharp, which was rumored to be a way that the Toka could recall the Sharu from their hiding it the Toka were in dire straits. The Sharu were described as "superhumanoids" by scholars, and were believed to have lived in an incredibly long period of advanced evolution, possibly billions of years. When the first humans came to the Rafa System, they befriended the Sharu. When the Sharu were forced to disappear, some bind with the humans was broken. Those humans, the ancestors of the Toka, were unable to recover from this breaking of contact. All of this was disproved when Lando Calrissian and Mohs found the Mindharp on Rafa V. It was then revealed that the Sharu, fearing some threat to their civilization, decided to hide their knowledge and intellect until it was safe to re-emerge. They built huge structures which resembled living spaces but where really vast computer banks of stored knowledge. They devised a grand scheme in which their race could survive, but it required them to be rendered ignorant, and their knowledge stored in the computer banks. They developed the life-crystals as a device which would continually sap the intellect and knowledge from all subsequent generations, maintaining the disguise of the simple-minded Toka. A single member of each generation would be allowed access to the ancient knowledge. This High Singer would keep the hidden Sharu alive by teaching various chants and rituals to the Toka. The Singer's duty was to await the coming of the Bearer and the Emissary, or pass on his knowledge to the next generation. In order to unlock the captive Sharu intelligence, the ancients created the Mindharp, which they hid in the Great Pyramid on Rafa V, and the Key of the Overpeople, which they sent out of the Rafa System. When the threat to the Sharu had passed, the Bearer would arrive in the Rafa System with the Emissary, bearing the Key. He would then use the Key in the Great Lock, entering the pyramid and finding the Mindharp. He would then use the Mindharp to release the Sharu. The Toka Mohs was just about to pass on his duties as High Singer when Lando Calrissian entered the Rafa System. Lando and his droid, Vuffi Raa, were set up by Duttes Mer and Rokur Gepta as the Bearer and the Emissary, respectively. Together, Lando, Mohs, and Vuffi Raa retrieved the Mindharp, only to have it stolen by Duttes Mer, who believed it could control the minds of others. He activated it, thus beginning a system-wide reshaping of the land. Mer was absorbed by the Mindharp as it started activating the Sharu computer banks. The Rafa System continued to undergo massive geological and physical changes, in preparation for the return of the Sharu. (LCM)

Sharu Key
This was another name for the Mindharp that was built by the ancient Sharu. (LCM)

Sharu Trammic
This was a sub-dialect of the Old High Trammic language, adapted for use by the Sharu that lived on Rafa V. (GMR5)

Shasa
This young Selkath female and her roommates were part of a group of several Selkath youths who were tricked into joining the Sith on the planet Manaan, during the height of the Great Sith War. It was Shaelas who feared that they had been captured by the Sith, and he asked the Jedi Knights to investigate. The Jedi discovered that Shasa and the other Selkath had been falsely lured to the Sith base as part of a plot to infiltrate the Selkath people. In the end, Shasa was freed and the Sith treachery was exposed. When she returned to her homeworld of Manaan, Shasa created a group of defenders who protected the planet from outside attacks. Over time, this group became known as the Order of Shasa. (KOTOR, PH, SWMW)

Shasa Ale
This type of ale was favored by the natives of Ado Sector. (FOP)

Shasan
This was the term used to describe an individual member of the Order of Shasa. (PH)

Shasfath Cluster
An area of the galaxy located near the Inner Rim and the Expansion Region. (SWJ5)

Shashay
This race of avians descended from birds on the planet Crytal Nest. They were humanoid in basic appearance, with colorful plumage and vestigial wings. Their wings were no longer used for flying, but will allow the Shashay to glide across a short distance. They were a graceful race, but were also given to quick tempers. The Shashay communicate with a wondrously-rich series of trills and riffs, and those Shashay which have left the planet were known as space singers. Because of their ability to manipulate the various musical arrangements required of their songs, the Shashay have developed large brains, and have the innate ability to calculate galactic navigational coordinates. This ability also garnered them the nickname space singers. During the Clone Wars, many Shashay died when a modified strain of the Separatist virus that was used against clone troopers began to infect several avian species. The virus caused unexpected molting, leaving individuals without the protection of their feathers. (TA, NEGD)

Shas'mink
This was a Laerdocian swear-word. (SOP)

Shassa
This was a curse word used by the natives of Emberlene. (SOP)

Shasstariss Whisperers Corporation
This family-run business was contracted by the Empire to developed specialized, military encryption codes for Imperial computer systems. Among the codes developed by Shasstatiss was the encrypt codes that protected the control nodes for Imperial-class Star Destroyers. (GMR10)

Shastartaz
This term from the Bocce langauge translated into Basic as "ignition". (GPB)

Shata
Native to the Uba System, this large beast was domesticated by the Ubese people, who used its hide to create a durable leather. (VD)

Shatoon Monastery
This was the name of a religious retreat that was on the planet Onderon. (EE)

Shatras
This was a race of bipedal reptilians native to the planet Trascor. These aliens were similar in size to tall humans, but were exceptionally strong. Their wide, flat heads were supported by a snake-like neck, and dominated by four bulbous eyes. This physiology allowed the Shatras to see in a 720-degree area. There were five distinct races of Shatras, including the Y'tras and the Hy'tras. (AE, AIR)

Shatter Beam
This was an ancient form of energy weapon that was developed by the Old Republic and used on the Juggernaut war droid. When fired at a target, the shatter beam created a steady stream of coherent energy that could tear a durasteel door of its hinges. (NEGD)

Shatter Gun
Developed by the Verpine, this weapon was a delicate pistol that fired magnetically-accelerated particles or pellets of alloy. The shotgun effect was devastating, but the shatter gun was prone to breakdown or explosion if improperly handled or dropped. (GFT, RCHC, DN2)

Shatter Missile
This was a type of projectile weapon developed by the ancient Mandalorians. Upon impacting a target, a shatter missile fragmented into hundreds of smaller pieces, causing huge amounts of collateral damage. (SWI80)

Shatter Rifle
This was a larger version of the Verpine shatter gun. (LF9)

Shattered Moon
This was the term used by the Chiss to describe the single moon of the planet Tenupe. A red-colored orb when viewed from space, this moon had cracked apart at some point in its history, but there was enough gravitational force among the larger pieces that the moon's fragments orbited Tenupe as a cohesive grouping. The Killiks of the Colony established a series of reproduction facilities within the fifty to sixty fragments of the Shattered Moon, where they spawned innumerable hordes of soldiers for the Great Swarm. (DN3)

Shattered Rock, The
This was the name given to one of the Alliance's asteroid bases, scouted by Mils Gessak and built with the help of Arago Tanca. (HAS)

Shatterpoint
This term was used to describe the locations at which even the hardest material could be struck, resulting in its breaking into pieces. Most commonly associated with Corusca gems, shatterpoints were notoriously difficult to locate, and the judgement of how much force to exert on a shatterpoint was an art only a few beings ever learn. Too little force applied to a shatterpoint results in a degradation of the crystalline matrix, which caused the gem to fall apart later. Too much force, and the entire gem shatters instantly. A precisely-gauged blow resulted in the shearing of the gem along a certain plane, resulting in a beautiful facet. (SHPT)

Shatterpoint
This was the term used by the Jedi Knights to describe the ability of a being to use the Force to locate the shatterpoint of an object, so that the Jedi Knight could destroy the object with a minimum of effort. Many members of the Jedi Order considered the ability to identify a shatterpoint was more of a gift than a technique that could be learned, citing the fact that only a handful of Jedi were known to have ever been able to do it. The last known Force user who could locate shatterpoints was Mace Windu, although it was believed that Darth Caedus discovered that he could also locate shatterpoints. Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker later revealed that he had also learned the technique, and offered to teach it to Jaina Solo, to improve her chances of bringing Darth Caedus to justice. (SHPT, LF9)

Shatual
This huge creature was native to the planet Mandalore. The male shatual was distinguished by its rhythmic barking, which became louder and more pronounced during the mating season. (RCTC, RC66)

Shatuun
This planet was a largely uninhabited world found in the Kathol Outback between the Uukaablis and Nah'Malis Systems. Its surface was dominated by rugged moutain ranges which were continually strafed by intense electrical storms. This combination means that travellers between Uukaablis and Danoor rarely, if ever, stop here. This was quite all right with a pair of Duinuogwuin star dragons who decided to reproduce there. They created a home for themselves some 60 years before the Battle of Endor, but were quite reclusive in their ways. They would accept visitors they believe they can trust, since they didn't want the rest of the Outback to know they were there. (KO)

Shaum Hii
A oceanic planet located in the Tragan Cluster, Shaum Hii was the homeworld of the Kian'thar race. It was known for its loud, raucous derlac "cattle markets." (HTTE, GG12)

Shaupat
This nocturnal Nabooan predator uses its claws to cut up its prey into small pieces, since its mouth was quite small. The blood of the shaupat contains an alkyl poison which was deadly to some other carnivores, helping the shaupat avoid being eaten. The bite of a shaupat was also quite painful, as their saliva had a mildly poisonous element in it as well. The Gungans have discovered that the shaupat blood can be distilled and used as a bleach-like stain remover. (GF)

Shaupaut
This was a species of carnivorous marsupial native to the canopy of the jungles found on the planet Naboo. Shaupauts hung from branches by their prehensile tails, waiting for small creatures to fly or wander by. The sharps claws and long fingers of the shaupaut made grasping and capturing easier. This might be a typpgraphical mistake, and actually refers to the shaupat. (WSW, SWG2P)

Sha'vah
This was the Noghri command for silence. (DFR)

Shaven-Head
This was the appellation used by the clone commandos of Delta and Omega Squads to identify one of Perrive's comrades, during their mission to eliminate the Separatist-backed terrorists who were bombing military installations on Coruscant, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. (RCTZ)

Sha-viri
This was the name of a distinguished Vor individual. (UANT)

Shavit
This was a swear word used by the farmers of Pakrik Minor. (VOF)

Shavree
This young woman sold a working lightsaber to the proprietors of Exotic Items, located aboard the Ithorian herdship Bazaar. She claimed it was her own lightsaber, although she was unable to communicate with the Force. (GA)

Shawda Clubb Sandwich
This was one of the signature sandwiches served at Dex's Diner, on the planet Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. This sandwich was made with pseudograin bread, and included Manpha-fowl meat, nuna bacon, Revwien lettuce, and topato slices. (OWS)

Shawda Ubb
This alien race, native to the planet Manpha, resembled a pot-bellied amphibian. They had green skin that covered their bulbous body, which was supported by spindly arms and legs. Their small heads were dominated by heavy brow-ridges, and a thin row of knobs runs from their foreheads down their necks. When cornered or attacked, a Shawda Ubb could spit a paralyzing poison at their enemies. (CCG9)

Shawgrim, Ral
A native of the planet Zalso, this Alliance technician was discovered to be a traitor selling information to the Empire. Born aboard the Panorama while his parents were on vacation, Ral joined the Alliance after his parents were killed by Imperial troops on Zalso, and proved to be a valiant warrior. He was hospitalized twice during the battle for Jendar. He was supposed to deliver plans of the X-Wing starfighter to Moff Brinkan, but failed to do so. Brinkan later put a bounty on his head, but Shawgrim was never captured by Imperial forces. He reappeared shortly afterward, wanted by the New Republic for the theft of the X-Wing plans. (SWJ4)

Shawken
This planet's dense catacombs were littered with traps, set by the ancient Shawkenese to deter graverobbing and pillaging. It was on Shawken that Luke Skywalker and Plif were invited to attend a meeting with the planet's leaders, shortly after the Battle of Endor, to discuss Shawken's position on the new galactic government. Up until this time, Shawken had been under Imperial control. Santor, the planetary leader, explained that the Imperials simply packed up and left when they learned of Emperor Palpatine's death, and Shawken simply forgot about them. A number of excavations were left open when the Imperial left, however, providing unusual scavenging opportunities. (MC87)

Shawken Spur
This was one of many ancient hyperspace pathways that connected Coruscant to the rest of the galaxy. This particular route connected Coruscant with the planet Shawken. (CCW)

Shawkenese
This was the name used by the human natives of the planet Shawken. They were known for their ability to harness energy into seemingly inert objects, creating batteries and power cells from everyday things. Ancient Shawkenese were known as philosophers and scientists, but they also followed a nihilistic view of the universe. Ancient Shawken scientists devised ways to bringing about the destruction of the universe and a new sort of "big bang" which would rebuild a better galaxy. To this end, they devised monstrous technologies that could destroy solar systems and galaxies by creating a self-sustaining chain reaction of collisions and explosions. Luckily for the rest of the galaxy, the secrets of using this technology died with the ancient Shawkens. The technology was almost activated by Rik Duel and his gang of thieves, while they were accompanying Luke Skywalker on a diplomatic mission. Only the heroic efforts of Kiro stopped the device and saved the galaxy. (MC87)

Shawpee Gang
This gang of mild-mannered hoodlums patrolled the street of Mos Eisley during the last years of the New Order. (CCG9)

Shawti
One of the many Hutt colony worlds, Shawti was also a breeding world for many of their slave races. Clan Desilijic bred Klatooinan slaves on this world. (CCG9)

Shaxrigge, Rex
This heavily-marketed Core celebrity was under investigation for stealing corporate secrets, during the height of the New Order. Authorities in the Corporate Sector trails him, believing that he would woo female executives and get them to reveal their corporate secrets. The last woman he tried to swindle was actually Dagmar Vozda, who was working undercover on Etti IV. However, Shaxrigge nearly got away from her and almost killed her, but for the timely intervention of Fiolla. She was on vacation from school at the time, and happened to recognize him. When he pulled a vibroknife on Vozda, Fiolla stepped in and thwarted his escape. Shaxrigge was arrested on the spot. (CSA)

Shay
A native of Targonn, Shay led a series of attacks on the dictator Craw. The Targonnians he led were known as Revoltists, and tried to overthrow Craw's despotical reign. He failed to overthrow Craw, but did manage to rescue the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO from Craw's clutches. The droids were reunited with Master Zorneth, who eventually toppled Craw's empire. (DRO)

Shayl
This was one of the many names given to female Bothans. In the Bothan language, it meant "sweet" or "dear." (GCG, WOTC)

Shaymore
Home planet of the Sessehshallah, it was mined extensively for its fossil hydrocarbon-based fuels. The Alliance helped to free the planet from Imperial control. (RPG)

Shaynday
This Snivvian word represented the number 6. (HNN5)

Shayoto
This old Jedi Master attended the Assembly on Deneba, during the months leading up to the Great Sith War, and spoke out on the way the Dark Side and the Sith teachings behaved. (DLS)

Shaywa, Mapes
This man was a non-descript individual with a secret life. Working from a base on Mexeluine, Mapes could assume any number of roles, depending on the mission he was given. He was outwardly an agent of FiggEx Security, but in reality he was the police force's Chief officer. Mapes was also a key member of FiggEx Security's so-called "black ops" force, responsible for carrying out the dirty work that needed to be done in order to Figg Excavations to succeed. He often assumed the alias of Barseth Gynes, and it was in this role that he hired Nogo Sistek to locate the noted pirates Salmakk and Clabburn. As soon as the pirates were hired, Mapes worked diligently to ensure that any ties between the pirates and FiggEx were eliminated, providing FiggEx with a way to legally break away from the Mining Guild. (WOA34)

Shazeen
This older Swimmer bull was living in the Dellaltian lake near J'uoch's mining camp, during the early years of the New Order. Shazeen was also Kasarax's uncle. Shazeen was the Top Bull on the lake, but grew tired of the continual challenges to his authority. When he decided to abandon the lake and travel north, Kasarax decided to take control of the lake. This meant that, when he returned to the lake, Shazeen had to submit to Kasarax's usurious practices. Shazeen spent his time trying to find a way to break Kasarax's hold on the lake, and saw his chance when Han Solo bargained for transport. Solo had lost the Millennium Falcon to J'uoch's people, and needed to recover it. During their negotiations, Shazeen thought Hasti Troujow was actually her sister, Lanni, since Hasti was dressed in the same clothes Lanni had worn a few months earlier. This spurred Han's group on, since it gave them another clue as to where Lanni might have been going just before she was killed. Kasarax demanded 40 driit each to transport the group across the lake, which enraged Shazeen. Shazeen offered to transport them for nothing, in an effort to get Kasarax angry. It worked, and a challenge race ensued. The race quickly degraded into physical combat, in which Shazeen overcame the younger Kasarax and forced him to submit. This ended Kasarax's control of the lake. Shazeen then ensured that Han and his companions were safely transported across the lake. (HSL)

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

Sheani
This junk dealer operated an outpost during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Shear Mite
This insect, native to the planet Dathomir, was named for its razor-sharp mandibles. Despite being called a mite, the shear mite measured a half-meter in length. When it used it mandibles, the shear mite also exuded a powerful acid, and this combination allowed it to chew on and consume solid rock. The female of the species also produced a secretion that acted like a form of cement, and this "rock glue" was known to be one of the strongest adhesives in the galaxy. (GQRG, GORW)

This man was a former warrant officer from the planet Concord Dawn, who joined the Empire as a security officer and quickly rose through the ranks. As a Lieutenant assigned to the Death Squadron, Sheckil was placed in charge of the transport of dangerous prisoners. It was rumored that he was Boba Fett's twin brother, although this was never substantiated. It was Lieutenant Sheckil who was ordered by Darth Vader to ensure that Leia Organa, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and C-3PO did not discover the Imperial presence on Cloud City until Lord Vader could capture them himself. To this end, Sheckil and his stormtroopers shot and damaged C-3PO, when the protocol droid stumbled upon their location. He displayed the droid's various parts to the Dark Lord, but was unaware that it had been Vader himself - as a young Anakin Skywalker - who had put the droid together. (CCG5, T6, OWS, RFDV)

Shedu Maad
This planet was located deep in the Transitory Mists, where the only star in the sky was the sun that the planet orbited. At night, the sky was simply filled with an inky blackness that often disoriented most beings who found the planet. It was on Shedu Maad that the new Jedi Order established a secret base of operations, in the wake of the Second Battle of Fondor. The planet had once been the site of a mining outpost, but the mines had been abandoned many centuries before. Tenel Ka and Luke Skywalker selected Shedu Maad as the location for the Jedi base because of its location within the Mists. All around the area were navigational hazards, including purplish-black protostars and planetary debris that forced an incoming starship to revert to realspace in order to navigate The Throat, the safe pathway that kept a ship from being struck by unseen objects. This gave the Jedi a brief advantage when Darth Caedus managed to track Jaina Solo into the area with a blood trail. After the death of Darth Caedus, the surviving Jedi leadership decided to establish a new Jedi academy on Shedu Maad, hoping to remain apart from the new government until the role of the new Jedi Order could be better understood. A medical facility was also constructed on the planet, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, as a secret facility where the Jedi Knights who were experiencing Force-related psychoses could be treated without interference from the Galactic Alliance. (LF9, MF, FJ3)

Shee

Shee, Cian
This almond-eyed woman was a frequent, though mysterious, patron of the Outlander Club during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. She was sometimes seen with Kalyn Farnmir, which lent a dangerous aspect to her already mysterious past. It was later learned that Shee was a noted slicer who was hired by Farnmir to help her locate the bounties Farnmir was chasing. They succeeded in capturing Sri Oscuro, and would have had a long career if the lure of easy credits hadn't distracted Shee. The Zealots of Psusan paid Shee a large sum of credits to sell out her partner for the capture of Oscuro, and Shee quickly agreed. Their meeting at the Outlander Club on Coruscant, just after Obi-Wan Kenobi apprehended Zam Wesell, was anything but friendly, and Shee barely escaped with her life. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Shee went to work as a bounty hunter for the Empire, and eventually took on a bounty that was placed on Farnmir's head. Shee tried to apprehend her former partner on Nar Shaddaa, but was eventually killed in one-on-one combat with Farnmir. (OWS, SWI75, SWDB)

(BH)

Sheelal
According to the religious parables of the Kaleesh people, the Sheelal was the name given to the two individuals known as the Dreamer and the Dreamt, who were forever bound by mysterious fate. (OWS)

Sheelal, Qymaen jai
This was the name given to the Kaleesh individual who would later become General Grievous. Little was known about his origins outside the Separatist camp, although his career among the Kaleesh was well-documented. Qymaen was raised amid the strife of the Huk Wars by his warrior father, becoming an expert sniper by the time he was eight years old. By the time he was twenty-two, he considered a demigod by the Kaleesh people for the proficiency with which he killed the Huk invaders. After becoming a commander, Qymaen further distinguished himself during the Huk Wars. When his father died in battle, Qymaen inherited his mumuu mask. Shortly afterward, Qymaen had a dream in which he was to hunt down a mumuu. Taking the message of the dream literally, Qymaen set out to kill a mumuu, but instead came face to face with another Kaleesh warrior, Ronderu lij Kummar. They forged an instant bond, after Qymaen realized that he had misinterpreted his dream. Qymaen expanding his fighting skills by learning everything he could about swordsmanship from Ronderu, and in turn taught the use of a Czerka Outland rifle. Together, they were a formidable pair on the battlefield, destroying Huk invaders by the hundreds. It was unknown whether Ronderu was Qymaen's long-lost sister or his lover, or both, but their abilities on the field of war earned them the status of living gods. When word of his dream became known, Qymaen came to known as the living manifestation of The Dreamer, a belief that was only heightened by the fact that his name included a reference to the Sheelal. Their union was cut short when Ronderu was killed by Huks on the shore of the Jenuwaa Sea, and her body was washed away by the waves. Qymaen's loss was doubly hard, because he could not provide her with a proper burial. He tried to assuage his feelings by making a pilgrimage to Abesmi, then marrying ten wives and siring thirty sons and daughters, but the pain did not go away. It was then that Qymaen took the name Grievous, as he believed that it was his destiny to live with Ronderu's loss forever. However, he was not about to bear the pain alone, and went on a killing rampage against the Huks. Grievous even launched several attacks on Huk-controlled worlds. When the Huk Wars ended, the Jedi Knights ruled that the Huks were the victims, and the Kaleesh were severely punished. In order to help his people survive, Grievous agreed to become a strong-arm for the InterGalactic Banking Clan, a role that led to the hostile takeover of Phlut Design Systems on Ord Mantell. However, when the Republic continued to refuse to help the Kaleesh, Grievous broke his contract with the IBC and set out to avenge his people. It was then that San Hill developed his plan to turn Grievous over to Count Dooku. Hill arranged for Grievous' shuttle, the Martyr, to crash, then arranged for Grievous' broken body to be recovered and transformed into the cyborg military leader of the Separatist armies. (SWI86)

Compounding this fact, Sheff was skimming profits from the smuggling operations, fueling his own illicit desires. This was discovered by several prisoners who were eventually released from Oovo IV, and related to several prominent Hutt crimelords. This led to a bounty being placed on Sheff's head, which Jango Fett claimed during his "rescue" of Bendix Fust. (BH)

Sheffield, Quinn
This Baron of House Reena had represented Reena for seven consecutive years in the Vor-cal without making a single kill.

Shell Hutt
One of the most unusual factions of Hutts, the Shell Hutts resemble their brethren in every physical aspect. They were huge, sluglike creatures with tough skin and internal organs protected by dense layers of blubber. However, the Shell Hutts chose to protect themselves from external radiation - which about the only thing that will naturally kill a Hutt - by enclosing themselves in riveted metal shells. They broke away from the rest of the Hutt clans, which had failed to genetically alter themselves to protect against radiation, several millennia before the Battle of Yavin, choosing to encase themselves and perpetual their lines. The shells must be continually shed as the Shell Hutt grows, and the donning of a new shell was often a cause for celebration. Everything but the Shell Hutt's face was contained within the shell. Even their hands were hidden inside, manipulating the controls which maintained the shell's repulsor engines and directional thrusters. The Shell Hutts took control of the planet Circumtore and used it as their base of operations. They were quite paranoid about security aroundf Circumtore, and often sent delegates to meet with potential clients or enemies in orbit. These delegates had their shells stuffed with explosives, which could be triggered from within in the event of an emergency. The resulting explosion would kill the Shell Hutt and the enemy force, eliminating any threat to the continued security of their planet. (MA)

This traditional Herglic holiday celebrates commerce and family, two things which were interrelated to the Herglic race. A prominent holiday in the Tapani Sector, Shelova Week was a time to exchange gifts, make new business alliances, discuss trade arrangements, and spend time with family members. As the human population of the sector began interacting with the Herglics, they too began celebrating the holiday, although many humans simply take vacation instead of also developing business partnetships. On the Tapani local calendar, Shelova Week fell between the months of Helona and Melona. (LOE, PGT)

(A)

Shelter
This was the name of the base set up by Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo from the remnants of the Maw Installation, as the starting point for Luke Skywalker's Great River, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. In the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant, Shelter became the primay destination of the Great River, after Eclipse base was compromised. Much of the station was cobbled together by Lando Calrissian and a team of advisors and patrons he most trusted, with habitation nodes and dome-shaped structures connected to a latticework of tubes and walkways, all of which were attached to the surface of a barren asteroid. Power for the base was provided by a massive generation cylinder that formed the center of the Shelter base complex. Years later, the historian recounted that many of the Jedi who were stationed at the Shelter base were prone to periods of crying and feelings of raw emotions, which were attributed to the forces that were exerted by the block holes that made up The Maw. Grand Master Luke Skywalker later theorized that the intense gravity of the black holes was consuming all forms of energy, possibly even the energy field that was formed by the Force. In the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, several young Jedi Knights began to experience strange psychoses that were linked to the Force. Two of these Jedi, Valin and Jysella Horn, were imprisoned in carbonite by the Galactic Alliance, as both a punishment to the Jedi Order and to ensure that they were kept safe until a cure could be found. Jedi Masters Cilghal and Tekli began to investigate these psychoses, starting with Seff Hellin, and it became clear that all of the Jedi Knights who were experiencing these problems had been hidden at Shelter during the Yuuzhan Vong War. With nothing more than circumstantial evidence to support them, Cilghal and Tekli believed that something had happened to the Jedi as children, and that Shelter base was the only common denominator. Seff and another Jedi, Natua Wan, exhibited signs of having actually been addicted to the Force, since the symptoms they both showed while being held captive in the Asylum Block of the Jedi Temple were similar to those exhibited by drug addicts going through withdrawal. (EVR, EL1, FJ1, FJ3)

Shelvay, Corwin
This young human was full of good intentions, but he was quick to anger. He was taken as an apprentice to the Jedi Knight Darrin Arkanian, who tried to teach Corwin of the Force. Corwin was a quick student, but felt that his powers should be used directly against the Empire. Arkanian tried to get Corwin to control his emotions at every turn. Together, they traversed the galaxy, staying one step ahead of the authorities while searching for surviving Jedi Knights. During one mission, Corwin was captured and brought to Coruscant. There, High Inquisitor Tremayne tortured him in an attempt to reveal Arkanian's whereabouts. Corwin resisted until Arkanian attempted to rescue him. In a battle with Tremayne, Arkanian was cut down, and Corwin became enraged. He leapt after Tremayne and lashed out, severing Tremayne's arm and damaging his face with a lightsaber. Corwin and Arkanian fled, but Arkanian died a few days later. Corwin realized that, in the battle with Tremayne, he had touched the Dark Side of the Force. In a vision some time later, Corwin saw himself as Tremayne's twin, and this shocked him back to the Light Side. Corwin then tried to return to his home, only to find that the Empire had killed his family ten years earlier. What he didn't know was that they had spared the life of his sister, Elena. Corwin, cut loose from all the ties that mattered to him, roamed the Outer Rim until he met Devon Fuller. Fuller's hatred for the Empire touched Corwin's anti-Imperial feelings, and drove Corwin to join the Alliance. Thus, he became an invaluable operative and recruiter in the Outer Rim. Corwin later led a mission - commanding Kyle Katarn, Shira Brie, and Erling Tredway - that was dispatched to disable the superlaser of the second Death Star, while it was en route at D'rinba IV. (GG9, WOTC)

Shelvay, Elena

The average shenbit bonecrusher measured some two meters in length and weighed about ninety kilograms, and moved about on four stout legs. The Barabels often said that a shenbit saved its deepest bite for last, as a warning to any individual who tried to outlast one in combat. (EGP, GORW, DN3)

Shenbit Bonecrusher Blow
This was one of the many attack postures practiced by the warriors who trained in the teras kasi martial arts. If properly executed, this movement can be fatal to the target. (HNN5)

Shendar
This man was an Imperial Moff during the early years of the New Republic. (GG11)

Sheneel
This graceful being was a dancer/acrobat who works for Kersh Lauskner's Travelling Animal/Acrobatic Arcadium. She mesmerized her audiences with her turquoise-hued, iridescent skin and long, silver hair. (GCQ)

Shenio Mining
This large mining operation was active during the era of the Clone Wars. Shenio Mining tried to acquire the rights to the kelerium and norax deposits on the planet Gaftikar, but the native human population refused. When the Marit population sided with the Old Republic during the conflict, the humans allied themselves with the Separatists in order to keep Shenio from destroying the planet. Two units of the Grand Army of the Republic - the 35th Infantry and the 10th Armored - were sent in to eliminate any Separatist-backed forces, along with the armed forces of the Marits. Many military advisors within the GAR questioned this use of force as being excessive, since Shenio had its own resources and could have handled the situation itself. A few other observers questioned the usefulness of kelerium and norax, since neither was an element that was used in the production of battle droids. (RCTC)

Shenir
Referring to a version of spice produced on Mon Calamari, this was a common female name among the Mon Calamari race. (GCG)

Shenir
This was a type of spice that was produced on the planet Mon Calamari. (GCG)

Shen-Jon, Echuu
This man made his home on the planet Krant, during the era of the New Order. Echuu Shen-Jon was believed to have been a Jedi Master during the last years of the Old Republic, and had been trained by Mace Windu himself. After losing his Padawan, Stam Reath, during the Battle of Geonosis, Shen-Jon took Reath's sister Naat to be his new apprentice. He led several important missions during the Clone Wars, including infiltrating the criminal organization of Boorka the Hutt and eliminating the crimelord to cut off his connections to the Separatists. All the while, Shen-Jon and his new apprentice slipped closer to the Dark Side of the Force, and Master Windu began to worry about their actions. When Naat was captured by Sev'rance Tann on krant, Shen-Jon learned that Tann was the Dark Jedi who had killed Stam on Geonosis. Rather than bringing the Dark Jedi to justice, Shen-Jon executed her for her actions. Naat stopped him from doing any more damage, and asked her Master to return to Coruscant with her. He decided to remain on Krant to avoid punishment, and was later deemed a hero for saving Naat's life on Krant. Shen-Jon's isolation on Krant allowed him to escape the destruction of the Jedi Knights at the hands of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader, durnig the early years of the New Order.. During the early stages of the Galactic Civil War, Shen-Jon's existence was discovered by Leia Organa, who had been working to free the Krantians from Imperial domination. He was forced to destroy the Vor'Na'Tu in order to prevent it from falling into the hands of Darth Vader, an event which many believe had been foretold by the Force. (GB, SWDB, GBC, NECH)

Shensarile V
This could be a type for Shesharile V. (ML)

Shenvehr, Pertaal
This man was the Assistant Features Editor for Colonial News Net during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He sed his position on the news staff to pass information to members of the Alliance. He maintained columns like "Art Galaxy Roundup," "Ask Argothil Anything," and "Personalities in the News," fielding letters from readers and responding as appropriate. Many believed his columns were simply idle discussion and advice-giving, but Pertaal had developed a complex form of coded messaging that allowed him to get information to Alliance agents with relative ease from his office on Findris. (CRO)

Shenvehr, Vadid
This man served as a Lieutnenant within the Byblos Traffic Central control organization, working as a hangar controller at Byblos Tower 214's hangar 217-11.

This Herglic phrase was used when referring to an individual's homeworld or home city. (PGT)

Sher Kar
This species of massive, scorpion-like creatures was native to the planet Mustafar, where it made its home beneath the tulrus nesting grounds. This allowed the sher kar to easily locate its favored prey. Mustafarian legends claimed that no one who entered a sher kar’s lair returned alive. (SWGAL)

Shereshir
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian verb meant "to seize" or "to kidnap." (OWS)

This self-important man worked as a customs agent on the floating city of Tolea Biqua, in orbit around the planet Genarius, during the final years of the Old Republic. Sherk was an acquaintence of Thook Lafrell, and often helped Lafrell smuggle illegal or stolen merchandise into the city. (JST1)

Sherruk
This ancient Mandalorian was part of a larger group that was based on the planet Dantooine, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Sherruk was known for his ability to hunt down and kill any other being, including Jedi Knights, and several unique lightsabers were found among his remains after he was defeated in combat by another Jedi Knight. The Jedi had been asked by several villagers to put an end to the abuses caused by the Mandalorians, and many refused to back down. Sherruk was among them, and he fought to the death, rather than back down. (KOTOR)

Shesh, Viqi
This woman, a native of the planet Kuat, was that planet's Senatorial representative to the New Republic. She was considered handsome, with flowing black hair and a slender build. She was relatively new to the politics of the galaxy, having grown up in a family of wealthy industrialists. When Kuat of Kuat committed suicide by destoying a section of Kuat's orbiting drydocks, the Shesh family lost much of their enterprise and, therefore, much of their status. In order to rebuild the Shesh name, the family began making alliances with the fledgling New Republic, despite the continued Imperial control of the planet. Their persistence paid off when the Empire was forced out of Kuat, and the Shesh family was awarded huge contracts. Viqi herself decided to go into politics and a short educational career as a marketing executive, some six years before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Senator Shesh was one of the few voices in the Senate who worked toward a solution to the Yuuzhan Vong attack which would best suit the needs of the Republic, and not individual worlds. She loved the feeling of power, and was attracted to beings who held power. It was even rumored that she was taken with Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya for a short time. She had been approached by none other than Nom Anor, who recruited her to the Yuuzhan Vong cause. Shesh spoke to the Senators and appealed for unity in devising a suitable response to the Yuuzhan Vong, rather than having individual worlds try to work against each other. She later entered into a deadly game of cat and mouse, pretending to be a traitor to the New Republic and dealing with both Borga the Hutt and Nas Choka to provide information on the Republic. She also used this tenuous position to spy on the enemy, and return information to the Republic on their actions. It was later revealed that it was Viqi Shesh who had provided the Yuuzhan Vong with the news of Elan's seeming defection. During this time, Shesh was appointed to be the ninth member of the New Republic Defense Force's leadership committee, and cast the deciding vote for defending Bothawui instead of Corellia. She was subpeonaed by the Senate Justice Council in the aftermath of the Battle of Fondor, and was advised by her lawyers to provide only the facts as she knew them, in order to avoid further investigation. Later, she began meeting with liaison Pedric Cuf, whom she knew to be working for the Yuuzhan Vong. Shesh insinuated herself into position to head SELCORE, which allowed her to strand great numbers of refugees on defenseless worlds, where they could be taken by the Yuuzhan Vong for slave labor or sacrifices. She also began working toward her own form of peace, and promised the Yuuzhan Vong that her agents would completely dismantle with repulsors on Centerpoint Station to prove her truthfulness. Senator Shesh also managed to gain a position on the New Republic Military Oversight Committee, and she hoped parlay this position into an election as Chief of State, when she began plotting the assassination of Chief of State Fey'lya. However, this incredible workload eventually began to wear on her. When Leia Organa Solo began to understand Shesh's role in the invasion, and started exposing bits and pieces of the plans, Senator Shesh launched a secret, personal series of attacks on the Solo family. These led to her undoing, as she was caught on surveillance cameras acting against the New Republic. She was run out of politics, and barely managed to flee Coruscant with her life. She was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong and threatened with death, but she insinuated to Warmaster Tsavong Lah that the Shapers were working against him. She had just enough circumstantial evidence to remain alive, especially when a series of events lent unexpected credence to her claims. However, she was trailed everywhere she went by Denua Ku, and was later forced to accompany the warrior to Coruscant to track down any Jedi still on the planet. She managed to escape several times, and nearly fled the planet aboard the Ugly Truth, but was thwarted each time by her captor, Denua Ku. When the warrior was impaled, Shesh left him for dead and tried again to reach the Ugly Truth, only to find that it had been confiscated by the Jedi. She was confronted once again by Denua Ku, but rather than allow herself to be killed by the Yuuzhan Vong, Shesh threw herself out a window and fell to her death.

Shesharile
This gas giant, the primary planet in the Shesharile System, was located in the Minos Cluster. It had a large number of moons. Two of them, Shesharile 5 and Shesharile 6, were large enough to be planets, and were capable of supporting life. They were known as the Twin Planets, despite the fact that they were moons. (SWJ6, GG6)

Shesharile 5
This fifth moon of the gas giant Shesharile was large enough to be a planet itself. Along with Sesharile 6, they were known as the "Twin Planets" despite the fact that they were moons. Shesharile 5 had been devastated by the corrupt government that runs them. This moon was known for its resorts, but they were dirty and care little about the environment they were destroying. Pollution had led to ecological disaster, and the inhabitants have regressed to become warring factions. Each blames the others for destroying the twins. Much of the commerce on the moon was centered around making the Imperials that controlled the Minos Cluster happy, so when the Empire pulled out Shesharile 5 went into a swift decline. Much of the planet was run by gangs under the control of Yerkys ne Dago. The average day on Shesharile 5 lasted 26 standard hours, and its year lasted 377 local days. (SWJ6, GG6)

Shesharile 6
This sixth moon of the gas giant Shesharile was large enough to be a planet itself. Along with Shesharile 5, they were known as the "Twin Planets," even though they were moons. Like its twin Shesharile 5, Shesharile 6 had been devastated by the corrupt government that runs them. Shesharile 6 was run by the Twi'lek crimelord Yerkys ne Dago, who also controls Shesharile 5 with a group of gangs. Pollution which had run rampant on Shesharile 5 had found its way to Shesharile 6, and the moon had been continually polluted over the years. The average day on Shesharile 6 lasted 26 standard hours, and its year lasted 377 local days. (SWJ6, GG6)

Shesharilian Vodka
This powerful liquor was fermented and bottled in the Shesharile System. (GG6)

Shessaun, Silya
This blonde-haired woman served as a Senator, representing her homeworld and the Thesme Sector in the Galactic Senate during the height of the Clone Wars. As a child, Senator Shessaun was considered a prodigy, and took an interest in politics after being introduced to government at a young age. She made fast friends with Padme' Amidala at a conference on Alderaan, some two years before the Battle of Naboo, and Shessaun was impressed that someone who was five years younger could be so knowledgeable and compassionate about political issues. They remained friends after Amidala was elected Queen of Naboo, and Shessaun herself was elected to serve as Thesme Sector's Senator a year later. When the Clone Wars began, Shessaun was recalled to Thesme Sector, in an effort to calm the leaders of several planets that wanted to join the Separatist movement. Her resolve to maintain loyalty to the Old Republic was tested when Senator Amidala invited her to join the Delegation of Two Thousand, but Shessaun politely refused, claiming that it would be as bad as joining the Separatists. After Senator Amidala's death, Senator Shessaun tried to launch an investigation, but was met with stern opposition from the newly-formed Galactic Empire. The more she searched, the more she was thwarted, and Shessaun began to understand Senator Amidala's invitation to join the Delegation of Two Thousand. Despite the fact that she was not a member of the Delegation, Senator Shessaun was eventually forced out of the Senate because of her concern for Senator Amidala. Shessaun chose to retire to Alderaan, where she became a mentor for Bail Organa's adopted daughter, Leia. She returned to Thesme many years later, and eventually passed away peacefully shortly after the Battle of Endor. (OWS, SWDB)

Shev, Xexus
This corrupt Imperial Colonel was in command of the Imperial garrison on Phaeda in the years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. In his youth, Shev cared little for the Empire, until he was implicated in a crime. He chose attending the Imperial Academy over being sent to the spice minesof Kessel, and remained in Imperial service ever since. A tall, bald man with a neatly trimmed goatee, he was too busy accepting bribes from the local smugglers to notice that the New Republic had set up a cell on his planet. He was in a bar with his officers when Kir Kanos arrived on Phaeda. When Kanos eliminated his officers and a squadron of stormtroopers, Shev set out to capture Kanos himself, in the hope of gaining favor with Carnor Jax. Jax's commander, General Wessel, learned of the incident from one of Shev's Lieutenants, and ordered Shev's forces to stand down so that Jax could personally take care of Kanos. Shev realized that his garrison would never stand up to an inspection, and realized that his only hope for remaining alive was to have Kanos in custody when Jax arrived. To this end, he paid Tem Merkon a hefty sum for the location of Kanos and Mirith Sinn's hideout. He then ordered a full assault on the hideout, but his forces were overwhelmed by Kanos' counterattack. When Jax arrived on Phaeda, he executed Shev for his betrayal. (CE, HCE)

This city was located on the eastern continent of the planet Bothawui. (SPG)

Shevu, Lon
This young man served in the Coruscant Security Force as a Captain, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Captain Shevu and his men were the first officers on the scene when a pro-Corellia terrorist set off an explosive device inside The Elite hotel on Coruscant, during the crisis that surrounded Corellia's bid for independence from the Galactic Alliance. His calm demeanor and thorough nature attracted the attention of Jacen Solo, who hand-picked Shevu to serve as his chief lieutenant when the Galactic Alliance Guard was formed.

However, as Shevu worked more with Solo, he came to question the Jedi Knight's true motivations. Shevu was never sure how Jacen would use the Force on a mission, which meant that his planning for a raid was often thrown by the wayside by Jacen's sudden actions. His concerns were only heightened when Solo brutally beat and then killed Ailyn Habuur while interrogating her with the Force. He made no attempt to hide his disgust with Solo's treatment of the prisoner, but remained loyal to the GAG.

Shevu was later assigned to Ben Skywalker's mission to assassinate the Corellian Prime Minister, Dur Gejjen, serving as Skywalker's back-up with Jori LeKauf. Like the others, Shevu went to Vulpter without any identification. When Skywalker asked if he could bring a vibroknife that his mother had given him, Shevu revealed to Ben that he wore a gold chain that his girlfriend had once given him, as a kind of good-luck charm.

Although the mission's objective was successfully gained, Jori LeKauf was forced to sacrifice his own life to ensure that Ben and Shevu escaped safely. Both men were shaken by LeKauf's actions, and returned to Coruscant more than a little changed. On Coruscant, Shevu revealed that the mission profile had called for himself, not LeKauf, to blow up their ship if they were caught, a fact that only added to Shevu's grief. Shevu took it upon himself to visit LeKauf's parents, and later allowed Ben to spend several nights in his apartment, while the younger man sorted out his feelings. He continued to support Ben's efforts, and later agreed to help him investigate the murder of Ben's mother, Mara Jade Skywalker. He learned of Ben's investigation after finding the young man in his apartment and nearly shooting him, believing him to be an intruder. When Ben asked bout Shevu's girlfriend, Shula Palasj, Shevu revealed that they had married in secret. Shula had then traveled back to her family on Vaklin, to prevent anything from happening to her if Jacen Solo ever became angry with Shevu's performance on the job. To all outward appearances, Shevu and his girlfriend had broken up, ostensibly because of the long hours he put in with the Galactic Alliance Guard.

Shevu then admitted to Ben that he thought Jacen was a psychopath, and needed to be eliminated from power. When Jacen Solo suddenly gave Shevu a few days' leave, he accompanied Ben to Kavan, where they were unable to discover any new evidence. However, Ben was visited by the ghost of his mother, who gave him the idea to search Jacen's StealthX for more evidence. Shevu helped arranged for them to get a forensics droid near the ship when Jacen traveled to Fondor, and they were rewarded when it found a bloody hair that had been Mara's. Shevu later took a huge risk in wearing a recording device whenever he met with Jacen, to record any information that Solo might divulge in confidence. Shevu did his best to continue to appear loyal to Jacen and the Galactic Alliance, and was rewarded with a lengthy discussion about Jacen's actions.

During the discussion, Jacen revealed that he was now a Sith Lord, and that he should be called by his proper title, Darth Caedus. He also revealed that he had killed Mara Jade Skywalker, although he firmly believed that the killing had been necessary to allow Jacen to continue his mission to save the galaxy. Shevu transmitted the recording of the discussion to Ben, knowing that it provided the final piece of evidence that Ben needed to convince his family of Jacen's guilt. Weeks later, Shevu tried to meet with Ben face-to-face, but they were tracked to their meeting place in Monument Plaza by Tahiri Veila, who managed to capture both of them.

They were then separated upon arrival at the Galactic Justice Center, and Shevu was brutally tortured and kept barely alive, so that Tahiri could use his survival as leverage to force Ben to reveal information about the status and location of the Jedi Order. When Tahiri used Shevu's survival as a lure to get Ben to give up his information, Shevu all but ordered him to keep quiet, even when Tahiri tried to gouge his eyes out to send his system into shock. Ben tried to fight back, but Tahiri only worked harder to harm Shevu. Ben was unable to give in, but used the Force to help force Shevu into unconsciousness, removing Tahiri's ability to cause him harm. When she realized that Ben had done this, Tahiri grew angry and sent a blast of Force lightning through Shevu's chest, killing him instantly. Ben managed to escape shortly afterward, and he made arrangements to bring Shevu's body with him, before sending it on to Shevu's widow on Valkin. (LF2, LF5, LF8, LF9)

Shevu, Shula Palasj
This young woman was an employee of GalactiSend, and was also Lon Shevu's live-in girlfriend, during the years following the Swarm War. When the war between the Galactic Alliance and The Confederation began to escalate, Shevu began to worry about how his relationship with Jacen Solo might affect his personal life. He wanted to make sure that his actions didn't impact Shula's life. After the murder of Lieutenant Tebut, Shevu's worry turned to fear. He and Shula married in private, then he transported her back to family on Vaklin. Back on Coruscant, Shevu went to great lengths to make it appear as if he and Shula had split up, in order to better protect her true location. (LF5, LF8)

Shevv, Dunb
This Sullustan con artist worked with Tusskerl during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The pair staged armwrestling contests at the Lower Deck on Cloud City, with Tusskerl wrestling any being brave enough to challenge him. Dunb Shevv ostensibly would keep track of all bets, but he artificially modifies the odds to ensure maximum profit. (RESB)

She-Who-Speaks
This was the name given to the leader of a tribe of the Sekct people. This Sekct was considered the wisest or strongest member of the tribe, and all decisions and negotiations were deferred to her. (POM)

Shey Tapani University
This institute of higher education was named for Shey Tapani, and was located on Estalle Island on Procopia. It was first dedicated by the first emperor of Tapani Sector the same year that the sector capital was moved to Procopia, amking the university several thousand years old. Over the years, the university grew too large to be completed housed on Estalle Island, and was expanded to sites on Destato Island. (LOE)

Sheyasti Trade Syndicate
This group of allied transportation companies was active during the final decades of the Old Republic. It was believed that the Sheyasti Trade Syndicate was secretly smuggling goods for the Separatists. A daring mission led by Jedi Master Dajjun to the planet Kailion discovered prrof that was contained in the memory systems of a blocky droid, but the group was forced to escape through a series of caves in order to avoid detection. Their mission was discovered, however, and Separatist forces caused a cave-in, trapping them in the caves. Master Dajjun and his students had to fight their way clear of several large predators in order to escape Kailion and return with their proof. (SWMW)

Sheyf

Sheyvan
This weapons expert served as one of the first Emperor's Hands, training the clones of Sa Cuis for Emperor Palpatine during the early years of the New Order. Although he favored the vibroblade, Sheyvan was equally skilled in the use of a lightsaber. Like many of Palpatine's Hands, Sheyvan believed he was the only being directly serving the Emperor, and he was angry and suspicious when he discovered that there were many other Hands scattered across the galaxy. Sheyvan's anger and frustration were only compounded when he learned that another on of the Emperor's Hands was Sa Cuis, a man he had admired. During the flight that transported Palpatine's clones of Sa Cuis back to Coruscant, Sheyvan managed to lead the Cuis clones in a revolt against their master. When Darth Vader confronted Sheyvan about his treachery, Sheyvan railed against the Emperor, demanding that his loyalty to the Empire deserved better than the lies Palpatine had used to control him. After the Dark Lord managed to defeat or destroy the six Cuis clones, Vader sliced Sheyvan from shoulder to hip after a brief struggle, ending the revolt and snuffing out the life of another Emperor's Hand. In the aftermath of the failed rebellion, Vader realized that it had all been a test of the clones of Erv Lekauf, and that Sheyvan's death had been only one among the trillions Palpatine had caused in his lust for power. (SWI85)

Shi
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word meant "only" or "just." (OWS)

Shiak
This was one of the most honorable of the marks of combat used by the Jedi Knights. Shiak referred to the stabbing of an opponent with the tip of the lightsaber blade, causing little physical damage while inflicting a fatal blow. Many Jedi Masters felt that shiak showed as much respect as possible for the Living Force as well as one's opponent, since it dispatched the opponent without destroying living tissue. The ancient Sith used this technique in a dishonorable way, causing physical damage without bringing death. Shiak was considered a strike discipline, one of the offesnive moves used in Jedi combat. (SWI62, SWGAL)

Shiarha Root
This plant, native to the humid rainforests of Kirtania, produced a thick bulb. This bulb, pink in color mottled with red, contained a thick fluid. This fluid was discovered by Doctor T'jaleq Kith'Araquia to counteract the deadly effects of the Direllian Plague. (SWJ1)

Shibatthi
This New Republic Senator held Han Solo to blame for firing the shots which started the riots on Bothawui, shortly after the revelation of the Caamas Document, even though there was no supporting evidence. (SOP)

Shibric
Riij Winward claimed to be travelling from Tramanos to Shibric when he was captured by Captain Niriz while on the Hopskip. (TFE)

Shiel, Riv
This Shistavenan Wolfman was a member of Wedge Antilles' X-Wing Rogue Squadron. He earned an Imperial deathmark by killing a stormtrooper who thought he was Lak Sivrak. He continued to serve with distinction until he contracted the Krytos virus after the liberation of Coruscant. He was treated with bacta almost immediately, but was sidelined for some time during his recovery. Riv returned to active duty after the Rogues broke away from the New Republic, but was killed near Thyferra when the Corrupter intercepted the Rogue waylaying a bacta shipment. Riv and Gavin Darklighter were escorting the Xucphra Alazhi when the Star Destroyer took out Riv's X-Wing. The dead ship slammed into the Alazhi and detonated it. Darklighter fled to Halanit as the other Rogues returned home. (XWN, KT, BW)

Shield
This Defender-class assault carrier was part of the New Republic's Fifth Battle Group, and participated in the initial blockade of the planet Doornik-319 during the Yevethan Purge. (SOL)

Shield Bicapsular Directrix
Abbreviated SBD, this was a measure of a starship shielding system's rate of recharge. (XW)

Shield Generator
A power source used to create and maintain a deflector shield. They were often ground-based implements which use a focusing dish to project the shield around a ship, a building, or parts of a planet. (E6)

Shield Hover
A maneuver which tests the shield integrity of a starship, the shield hover involves maintaining a starship's weight off the ground with nothing but its shields. The ship was first lifted by its repulsors, then the shields were activated. The landing gear was retracted, and the repulsors were then slowly cut off. If the shields hold, the ship then hovers above the ground. Good pilots were ready, in case the shields fail, to engage the repulsors and catch the ship before it crashes back to the ground. In some cases, either the forward or aft shield will go, while the other remains intact. This can cause the ship to bounce and flip over onto its topside, causing greater collateral damage. (AC)

Shield Leeching
This was a specialized technique in which a starship could literally leech shield energy from another vessel. The technique was developed during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (SWI89)

Shield Limiter
This was a specialized starship shielding component that could reduce the strength of a shielding system. The primary use of these devices was in throttling back the power required by a ship's shield generators, so that additional power could be routed to life support or weapons. (SWG2P)

Shield Overcharger
This starship shield generator upgrade allowed a standard shielding system to briefly draw more power from a reactor core, providing additional shielding capability during emergencies. (SWG2P)

Shield Projector
A shipboard component which generates and projects a defensive shield around a starship. They can be small (such as the Chempat projectors used on X- and Y-Wings) or large (such as the Serridge SEAL system). They create deflector shields which roughly follow the contour of the ship. (E4, SCRE)

Shield, The
This group of freelance "security specialists" was also a collection of Alliance operatives, active during the Galactic Civil War. They started out protecting corporate couriers during intra-system travel, then expanded to act as executive bodyguards. Eventually, The Shield got into espionage and security work. Much of their work was done to protect supporters and members of the Alliance, provided that their resonable prices were paid. (CRO)

Shieldbuster Torpedo
This type of plasma torpedo was used to overwhelm a starship's shield systems, employing massive amounts of radiation to literally bust through the shields. These projectiles could also be used against other targets, but the effect wasn't as powerful as other forms of torpedoes. (SSOG)

Shieldship
A huge, umbrella-shaped craft used to shield spacecraft from the heat of Nkllon's sun. It was one of the first creations of the Republic Engineering Corporation. The design specifications were originally formed by Lando Calrissian. It was basically a curved, 800-meter dish on top, with a 400-meter long cylinder extending from the bottom. The underside of the dish was packed with various cooling systems, while the cylinder contains the main drive. The shieldships proved to be hard to pilot, because of their unique configuration and the rigors of keeping the large ships in place to protect smaller craft. Also, due to the harsh conditions in which they operation, shieldships require constant maintenance of their shields and cooling systems. Lando originally purchased twelve shieldships, allowing him to make three trips from the shieldship depot on Qat Chrystac to Nkllon per day. This allowed plenty of downtime for the repairs necessary to keep the ships running well. After the destruction of Nomad City by Grand Admiral Thrawn, no other shieldships have been built. (HTTE, EGV)

Shieldship 9
This was the designation of the shieldship assigned to escort the Millennium Falcon and Luke's X-wing to Nomad City, during the New Republic's attempt to enlist the aid of Lando Calrissian in the fight against Grand Admiral Thrawn. (HTTE)

Shieljar
This was a pseudonym used by a smuggler who had a great deal of experience with droids. Shieljar was based on Duroon. (SWJ13)

Shien
This was the ancient term used to describe one of the two variations of the Form V lightsaber fighting style. Shien focused on using a lightsaber to not only block a blaster bolt, but to deflect it back at the enemy, with the intent of using the blaster bolt to harm the opponent. While some argued that this was a purely defensive form, others argued that it focused too much on injuring the opponent. Note that the Wizards of the Coast website indicates that the Shien style of fighting involved a Jedi holding their lightsaber horizontally, with the tip of the blade was pointed at the opponent. In this stance, the Jedi could swing the lightsaber in a quick arc as the Jedi punched their sword-hand at their opponent. (SWI68, WOTC, EGF)

Shif, Lufta
This woman, a native of the planet Naboo, served Queen Amidala as her homeworld's minister of education, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (IG1, CVD)

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

Shiffrin
This Outer Rim Territories world was home to a population of humans. (TTSB)

Shiftshield
Any type of deflector shield which helps deflect solid material, rather than energy. They were used to deflect small meteorites. (E4N)

Shig
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word referred to any sort of tea, although it specifically referred to a stimulating infusion brewed from behot herbs. Depending on the herbs used, shig had a citrus flavor that many drinkers found soothing. (OWS, RCTC)

Shigormallan, Mishowan
A native of the planet Yelsain, Shigormallan joined the crew of a cargo hauler as a teenager. When the planetary government began taxing shipments in order to support the Empire, his commanders opted not to pay them. He found himself constantly under the scrutiny of Imperial Customs agents and the Imperial Security Bureau, He met a group of Alliance field agents during one of his detention periods, and decided to join the Alliance. He completed training in the Special Forces division, and was given a place in the Pathfinders regiment. He was hoped to get a position with the Wilderness Fighters, but attacked his new position with zeal despite the setback. He was quickly promoted from Trooper to Lieutenant, and accepted a position in Task Force Shen. He replaced a popular officer who was killed in action, and his brash, abrasive style didn't immediately mesh with the rest of the team. However, his skills proved he was more than worthy of the job, and he excelled in leading the Patfinder platoon under the command of Major Mart Stevez. (ROE)

Shiib
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word meant "thin." (OWS)

Shii-Cho
This was the ancient term used to describe the Form I lightsaber fighting style. It was the simplest of the techniques, and any Jedi student had to learn it before they could be taken as a Padawan. (SWI68, SWGAL)

Shi'idese
This was the name of the ancient language of the Shi'ido. Incorporating a wide range of vocalizations, the Shi'idese language was believed to have no written form. (UANT)

Shi'ido
Native to the planet Lao-mon, the Shi'dio - or Sh'shuun, in their native language - were a rare race of shapeshifting aliens. The Shi'ido had the uncanny ability to fog the minds of those around them, allowing them time to alter their appearance and make those around them seeing their new form as the true form. These two traits allowed the Shi'ido to co-exist with nearly any other race as if they were members of it. They could appear to be almost any species, and cloud the minds of those around them to reduce suspicions.

Unlike other polymorphic species, the Shi'ido's natural endoskeleton limited their ability to shape-shift to humanoid forms only, especially during their youth. The bones of a Shi'ido were thin and flexible, and were connected by specialized tendons that allowed for an individual to release and re-attach them in different configurations.

Because of their unusual abilities, the Shi'ido were thought of as disreputable spies and assassins, roles for which they were sought after by the Empire and large, criminal organizations. In general, however, they were a non-aggressive species which could live to be 500 years old or more. (ISU, GOF4, SWJ12, AE, NEGA)

Shi'ido
This Aqualish served as an aide to Po Nudo, during the height of the Clone Wars. Note that this may simply have been a description of the character's race, similar to the designation of a Senator as Mon Calamari in the Star Wars: Episode III Illustrated Screenplay. (VD3)

Shi-iki, Myrgaanti
This Gorvan Horansi was once a freelance operative for the Alliance, until he fled active service with Bryce Agoris. Myrgaanti was known as a boisterous brawler and womanizer, and was inseparable from Agoris during their service to the Alliance. Shortly before the Battle of Endor, they deserted the Alliance, taking more than two millions credits worth of equipment with them. Aboard the Warhog, they became freelance mercenaries. (SWJ6)

Shiim
This was one of the marks of combat defined by the Jedi Knights for lightsaber combat. Shiim was the use of the edge of a lightsaber blade to inflict a wound on the opponent's body. Many Jedi Masters considered shiim to be an inferior form of mark, since it suggested a Jedi's indecision in battle and the superiority of one's opponent. Shiim was also considered a strike discipline, one of the offesnive moves used in Jedi combat. (SWI62, SWGAL)

Shiin
This mysterious being owned Shiin's Library in Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. She only met her patrons after they passed the test of her droid gatekeeper, and different visitors reported her race as Cerean, Mon Calamari, and even Twi'lek. The truly erudite visitors to the library cared little for her appearance, although many wondered whether Shiin was a shape-shifter or simply several different beings all claiming to be Shiin. (GMR7)

Shiin's Library
This library was located in the city of Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine, during the era of the New Order. The library was privately maintained, although the benefactor(s) of the library were just as mysterious as its owner, Shiin. Inside the walls of Shiin's Library was an impressive collection of records and information Shiin had amassed over the years, and the library was only opened to those beings who were truly scholars in search of data. Access to the library was maintained by a droid gatewatcher that grumpily asked each visitor a series of questions to verify their educational background and reasons for access. Once past the gatewatcher, visitors were greeted by Shiin herself, or at least a being who claimed to be Shiin. She collected a small fee from each visitor, then led them to a computer access terminal rfom which they could gather information. Hidden within the databanks of Shiin's Library were the B'omarr Registry and the Quilan Pyradex, just to name a few of the obscure and unusual documents Shiin had collected. Other information was regularly culled from corporate and governmental networks, and Shiin sometimes offered her services as slicer to her clientele. (GMR7)

Shik
This was a vulgar term, used to indicate another being who you despised. (TAE)

Shi'kar
This alien race was wiped out when their homeworld was destroyed by a comet that impacted the planet planet. The debris field that was formed from the planet's remains became a haven for smugglers and pirates. (TCW1)

Shikitari
This immense race of barely-sentient, insectoid beings was native to the planet Shikitari. Like most insects, the Shikitari had a multi-staged lifecycle. Shikitari larvae mature inside eggs which were protected by a poisonous gel. As pupae, Shikitari emerge from their eggs and fuse to one another, forming a single being from many smaller individuals. Individual Shikitari grow specialized body parts to become eyes, mouths, feelers, and the entire organism evolved to mimic its guardian or parent. Thus, Shikitari that were raised by humanoids were humanoid in appearance. When the various pupae of a Shikitari individual matured, which took only two standard days, they exuded a chitinous material that formed an immense chrysalis. During this time, individual Shikitari pupae metamorphosed into flutterscouts, which craked open the chrysalis and flew away. (SWDB)

Shikitari
This lush, jungle-covered planet was located in the Unknown Regions, and was the homeworld of the Shikitari race. (SWDB)

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

Shiko, Dria
This was the name of a noted Woostoid individual. (UANT)

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

Shild, Sarn
This former Moff controlled the Hutt space arund Nal Hutta during the early years of the New Order. A tall, sallow man with ascetic looks, Shild wore no jewelry except for a black krayt dragon pearl in one earlobe, mirroring his jet-black hair and black uniform. He received several unsolicited "political contributions" and other gifts from the Hutts, and he, in turn, left the Hutts alone to do business as they pleased. He honored this agreement until a group of rebels, smuggled onto the planet Rampa II, destroyed an Imperial outpost there. Shild then issued orders to cut off any and all smuggling in his sector, and bring the Hutts to their knees. Jabb and Jiliac sent Han Solo to bribe the Moff, but he refused to be swayed. He ordered Admiral Greelanx to attack Nar Shaddaa and wipe out the smugglers' moon, but the assault failed for several reasons. Shild retired to his estate on Teth, only to learn that his beautiful aide - cunningly played by Bria Tharen - had left him. Rather than face the wrath of the Emperor, Shild committed suicide. (THG, RD)

Shili
This planet, located in the Expansion Region of the galaxy, was the homeworld of the Togruta race. (VD2, NEGA)

Shili Cheese
This semi-soft cheese was made by artisans from the planet Shili. (OWS)

Shilley, Tan
This attractive female Morganian owned and operated Shilley's cantina, located in the city of Gralleenya. Tan left her homeworld to become a travelling entertainer and dancer, but ended up on Questal. She established Shilley's just before the ardanium boom, and was able to profit during its height. She worked hard to keep her bar a neutral ground between law and order, and was privy to much of the underworld information the police force didn't know. This knowledge allowed her to assist a group of Alliance agents who went to Questal to rescue Tiree. She remembered Tiree coming into her bar, and suggested that he talk to Mosh Pelkan about gaining entrance to Moff Bandor's palace. (GCQ)

Shilley's
This dark, seedy cantina, owned by the Morganian Tan Shilley, was located in the heart of Gralleenya city, on Questal. It was the favored locale for illegal meetings and transactions, although it was considered neutral ground between law and order. The owner paid good, hard credits to both sides to keep it that way. (GCQ)

Shilly
This woman was one of the many underlings who worked for the crimelord Vex, on the planet Cularin, during the last years of the Old Republic. Shilly was often part of the convoy that was dispatched to make regular deliveries for Vex, piloting a speeder and serving as one of the main contacts for the exchange. Shilly was killed during an exchange that turned out to be a trap that had been set by Riboga's agents. She and Guster escaped from the initial ambush, but Riboga's men chased them down and destroyed their speeder. Shilly died in the explosion when the speeder's engines blew up. (LFCW)

Shiltu
This bloated Hutt crimelord was a vigo for the Black Sun organization during the decaded leading up to the Battle of Naboo. It was Shiltu to managed to acquire the entire organization of Tarnese Lyanne, although many questioned the ethics of his actions. Tarnese Bleyd had hoped to exact a measure of revenge on Shiltu, to assuage the humiliation the Clan Tarnese had to endure. Unfortunately for Bleyd, Shiltu died some eight years before the Battle of Geonosis from a massive cellular hemorrhage. (MBS)

Shim
This was a slang term used by gamblers during the era of the Galactic Civil War to describe the act of swindling or bilking a client. In general, shimming was considered in poor taste, and was not appreciated by current or prospective clients. (SWJ4, OWS)

Shim, Tolaris
This ancient Jedi Master was a contemporary of Ulic Qel-Droma, and was active during the era of the Great Sith War. While other Jedi believed that Qel-Droma had redeemed himself on Rhen Var, Master Shim argued that he was beyond redemption. Shim referred to his writings on the four stages of the dark side - temptation, imperilment, submission, and atonement or redemption - and argued that Qel-Droma had killed too many beings while under the influence of the Dark Side of the Force to ever receive redemption. The best that Qel-Droma could have hoped for was atonement, Shim reasoned, and his actions on Rhen Var were not worthy of atonement. (EGF)

Shim-bay Crispa
This meal was a specialty of the chefs of the planet Brentaal. (SWJ13)

Shimholt
Native to the planet Kar'a'katok, this reptilian race of humanoids was distinguished by its tall, thin body, long snout, and slanted eyes. This combination of features gave the Shimholt the appearance of a bipedal dragon. A long-lived species, the Shimholt were an agrarian people who were rarely seen in the galaxy. This rarity only became more pronounced when the Nelori invaded Kar'a'katok, forcing the Shimholt to learn the art of war in order to defeat the Nelori Marauders.

Over the ensuing years, the Shimholt became more and more xenophobic. There was also an upwelling of public outrage about the invasion itself, as a vocal group openly questioned the government's ability to prevent the invasion. A group of religious fanatics managed to overthrown the democratic government, taking control of Kar'a'katok and closing to offworlders. The Shimholt were also prohibited from leaving the planet, and any individual caught trying to escape was subject to a death sentence. This situation remained for more than 4,000 years, and the Shimholt were all but forgotten by the galactic community, until Ampotem Za rose to power on Mandalore during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (OWS)

Shimia
This planet, located in the Outer Rim Territories, was the homeworld of the Pacithhip race. It was a remote world, but was located close enough to a major trade route to attract business. (AE)

Native to the planet G'rho, these reptiles were named for the way their shiny scales caught and reflected light. (TBSB)

Shimmersilk
A stylish fabric originally used for women's clothing, shimmersilk was used to create wonderful cloaks and robes for nobility across the galaxy. It was believed that many Mandalorian soldiers lined their helmets with shimmersilk, in order to avoid chafing or abrading their heads. (HSE, WOTC, LF5)

Shimor
This was a common name among the Ryn. (UANT)

Shimper Ale

Shine-ball
This unusual form of lighting was created by the members of the Colony. The shell of the shine-ball was formed from the sticky wax that the insectoid beings exuded, allowing them to be stuck on the ceiling or the walls. Once the Colony's existence became known beyond the Unknown Regions, other worlds began purchasing the inexpensive shine-balls for use in lighting passageways and tunnels. Most shine-balls were large, jewel-like spheres of a bright blue material. (DN1)

(HT, FH1)

Shinies
This was a slang term used by the veteran members of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe those clone troopers who had yet to get their armor dirty in real combat. It was often used to describe any group of rookie clone troopers who had just been released from the training programs on Kamino. (CWVG, CWTV)

Shining Hope
This was one of the three major rebel groups that supported the Alliance, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. Led by a group that included Thillis Slanni, the Shining Hope organization opposed the plans of Yeeru Chivkyrie and the Republic Redux group, fearing that the political and psychological benefits of open rebellion by Shelsha Sector would be outweighed by the Imperial response to such actions. (A)

Shinkai Abyss
An underwater chasm measuring 5,000 kilometers in length, the Shinkai Abyss was found in the oceans of Spira, cutting across much of the eastern hemisphere of the planet. Its walls were encrusted with crystals. (SWJ1)

Shinn, Vaigon
This small-time criminal was one of the few who tried to oppose Jabba the Hutt's control of the planet Tatooine, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. Like most other such rivals, Vaigon Shinn was killed by mercenaries hired by Jabba to do his dirty work. One of the mercenaries was later revealed to have been former Imperial Navy Chief Bast, who had taken up the role of Imperial spy in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. (SWGAL)

Shinnan
This woman was a native of the planet Ennth. She was among the first to greet Zekk, when the youth returned to his homeworld in the midst of its worst devastation. She was married to the leader Rastur, and they all worked relentlessly to evacuate Another Hopetown and its environs during the earthquakes and fires. She had been a friend of Zekk's when he was a child, although she was four years older than he was. When the last of the evacuees was aboard a transport, she took a break and returned to her home to retrieve the plans she and Rastur had for rebuilding their home. She was caught in a sudden earthquake, and was killed when the old homestead collapsed on top of her. (SHA)

Shinnan
This was one of the most common female names among the Corellians. (GMR9)

Shintel
This planet was located in Kathol Sector, between Tanquilla Beach and Ivatch. It was largely uninhabited, although the Empire established a supply and patrol base on the planet during the last years of the New Order. (DARK)

Shiny Boys
This was the term used by rank-and-file clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe clone commandos, in reference to the burnished silver coloration of their Katarn armor. Of course, the term was never used in the presence of a commando. (OWS, SWI84)

Shiny Stick
This was a nickname used by the clone commandos of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe the lightsaber of a Jedi Knight. (RCTZ)

Shiny Switch Rule
This was a common rule of thumb used by starship pilots, when they were faced with having to fly another starship, especially one that had been modified. These modifications usually altered the standard start-up sequences, and most pilots ame to discover that simply pushing the shiniest switch - which was usually the one that was installed last - often got the ship started. (JT)

Ship
This was the name given by Luke Skywalker to the unusual, mechano-organic starship he and Leia Organa encountered, shortly prior to the Battle of Hoth. They had been trying to escape an Imperial warship while running supplies to a remote Alliance base, and tried to flee into hyperspace with a damaged drive system. When they reverted to realspace, they found themselves in the starless gulf between galaxies. It was here that Ship first appeared to them. Resembling an immense, green blob of matter, Ship was the only surviving member of an ancient race that had been destroyed in a conflict eons before the Galactic Civil War. In its own galaxy, there were many of these ships, operated by humanoids who eventually exterminated themselves in a series of vicious wars. After a plague bomb was used to wipe them all out, a single survivor fled in his starship and ended up in the known galaxy. Over the millennia, the mind of the survivor had melded with the computer and the ship itself, creating the entity Luke described as simply "Ship." It then spent its time traveling between the galaxies, hoping to flee the reality of its own galaxy and the loss of its companions.

Ship initially felt that Luke and Leia were invaders, and tried to eject them into the vacuum of space. Its surviving pilot ordered the organic computer to capture them, and played games with them until it realized that there was still love and caring in the universe. Their compassion and love for each other made Ship close itself up and try to return them to their own galaxy. They were attacked by the Imperial warship that had pursued Luke and Leia, and Ship released a flurry of anti-matter pods to destroy the Imperials and save itself. Ship then released Luke and Leia to continue their mission, while fleeing back into the void to escape the reality of the Galactic Civil War, hoping to locate another galaxy that didn't remind it of its past. (MC38, LTA2)

Ship
This was the simple name taken on by the Sith Meditation Sphere that was recovered from Ziost by Ben Skywalker, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Ben turned the strange ship over to Jacen Solo, who in turn handed the ship to Lumiya. When Lumiya was killed, Ship ended up in the hands of Alema Rar. When Ben first re-awakened Ship, it remembered the ancient times when the Sith controlled large portions of the galaxy. Thus, it was confused to find that there were only a few Sith left in the galaxy. The strange ship later revealed that it had been originally constructed as a training vessel, designed to protect and education apprentices, and as such could never be targetted by another ship. This information was revealed to Ben Skywalker when he apprehended Lumiya and the ship near Kavan, where Jacen Solo and Lumiya had forced his mother, Mara Jade Skywalker, to land during a starfighter duel. Ben used this knowledge to convince the sphere to stop taking orders from Lumiya, allowing him to ensure that she could not harm his mother. This information allowed Ben to know that it was not Lumiya who had killed his mother, Mara Jade Skywalker, leading him to the conclusion that it had been Jacen Solo.

With Lumiya's death, Ship passed into the hands of Alema Rar, who believed that she needed to travel to Korriban to enlist the aid of the Sith leaders there in helping Jacen become a Dark Lord of the Sith. Although Ship understood that Alema Rar was strong in the Dark Side of the Force, it was unsure of its loyalty to her. This was exploited by Zekk, when he, along with Jagged Fel and Jaina Solo, infiltrated Alema Rar's asteroid lair in the MZX32905 System to confront her. Zekk was badly injured by one of Alema's Force phantoms, and discovered Ship's location while trying to avoid another confrontation. Zekk, a former student of the Shadow Academy, drew upon the Dark Side of the Force to commune with Ship. After assuring Ship that he was capable of using Sith powers, Zekk negated any standing orders that Alema Rar had impressed upon the sphere, allowing it to go free. In this way, Zekk freed Ship to return to Ziost, while trapping Alema Rar on the asteroid.

As Ship blasted away from the asteroid, it was pursued by the Sith Lord Dician and the crew of the Poison Moon, who hoped to recover the sphere and use it for their own vessel. However, Ship was not to be commanded by any mortal being, let alone a crew of misfits, and eventually it made its way to the planet Kesh. On Kesh, Ship found a group of Sith that were still true to the old ways, and were stronger than any other Sith it had recently encountered in the galaxy. Ship formed an immediate bond with a Tyro named Vestara Khai. Vestara discovered that Ship had a male personality, but she also learned that it was not going to be commanded by her or any of her Masters. Instead, Ship wanted the Sith to join it in restoring the Sith to prominence in the galaxy. To this end, Ship spent nearly two years working with the Tribe on Kesh, teaching and training them to restore the Sith Empire to prominence in the galaxy. However, when an incredibly strong, cold presence made itself felt in the cluster of black holes known as the Maw, Ship left the Sith behind and sped toward the Maw at top speed. Ship was dismayed when Vestara and a task force from the Tribe followed it to the Maw, and implored the Sith to leave the area and leave Ship to its fate. Ship explained that the Sith had their own destiny, and it was not tied into its own destiny. Ship then landed on a strange, jungle-covered planetoid within the Maw, where it was been compelled into submission by the powerful entity that inhabited the planetoid.

The Sith followed Ship to the planetoid's surface, where Vestara Khai was once again able to communicate with it. Vestara sensed that Ship was afraid of the presence it obeyed, despite the fact that this mysterious presence only seemed lonely for companionship. Although Vestara believed that the Sith would be able to capture Ship and return to Kesh, Ship explained that the Sith were as trapped on the planetoid as it was, and that there was very little the Sith could do to escape. (LF6, LF7, FJ1, FJ2, FJ3)

Ship Net
This was the Basic translation of the Vagaari name for their pseudograv-field generator, developed during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (OF)

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

Ship Runner
This was a term used by the Imperial Navy to describe any individual who was charged with transporting sensitive or confidential information from one ship to another. Ship runners were commonly found serving Admirals and other hgih-ranking officers, who often needed to get information safely into the hands of their peers or superior officers. Ship runners were also used to relay information in situations where a commanding officer was injured, and needed to get status to other ships in a hurry. (DSTR)

Ship Security Headquarters
This was the name used by the naval personnel of the Galactic Alliance to describe the section of a starship that was set aside for security personnel to maintain surveillance of the communications and visual systems aboard a ship, and to coordinate the security of all shipboard sections. This area of the ship was often referred to as the Dark Deck. (LF9)

Ship Shop G-S7
This starship repair facility was located on Genesia's G-S7 orbital station, and was owned and oeprated by Plu Makor during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (FBS)

Shipbuilders and Astrmoechs Guild
Formed during the early years of the New Republic, this guild designed many of the starships and navigational system used by the Imperial Remnant. (HCE)

ShipFinder
This was the name of Drooim-Durtha Systems' subspace tracking device. Its developed was contracted out to Neb Ufentes, and was unique in that it was so small. The smaller size meant that it had a shorter operational lifespan before it needed recharging, but Ufentes helped prolong its life by designing it to send out bursts of particles at preset intervals rather than continuously. The interval can be programmed in, but a faster interval decreases its operational span. Ufentes had developed a prototype that would last up to eight days, but it was stolen by the crimelord Mahk'khar. In the heist, Mahk'khar killed Ufentes. (SWJ8)

Shipjacking
This was the term used to describe the forcible acquisition of a starship by criminals or terrorists. Where a ship thief used stealth to steal a ship without causing physical harm to its owners, a shipjacker often resorted to violence in order to acquire the ship. Shipjacking often took place in space, where a small team of agents could eliminate the crew and jettison the passengers in escape pods, without the presence of police or military personnel to interfere. (MF)

Ship's Exchange
This was the name given to the shipboard "general store" that was often found on large military vessels. At the Ship's Exchange, crewers could find amenities such as ice cream and cigars, but only if they were made available by the regular supply ships. (LCS)

Ship's Operating License
This Imperial document was one of a number of documents required from any spacer who plied the spacelanes during the New Order. The procedures for obtaining the certification were documented in the Spacer's Information Manual. Known as an SOL, this document identified the starship and its owner as being cleared to operate in interstellar space. (SWJ9)

Shipsick
This was the generic term used to describe any form of nausea that was experienced by beings during spaceflight. Most beings became ill due to the motions of the starship, including acceleration and deceleration. Others became claustrophic in the tight confines of a ship, while others experienced vertigo when looking out portals at a planet beneath them. (MF)

Shipwomb
This was the Yuuzhan Vong name for the "breeding ground" they used to create their living warships. Because of the size of their warships, individual shipwombs were often created from the destroyed hulks of planets. (DTR)

Shipwomb
This incredibly huge ship was grown by the Yuuzhan Vong to serve as the "birthplace" of a new generation of ships. Larger than the Death Star, the shipwomb was formed from the same yorik coral as other Yuuzhan Vong ships, and was surrounded by a collection of thick protuberences that flared out from the central hull like the arms of a spiral galaxy. Because all Yuuzhan Vong ships were living creatures, they eventually grew old and died. For this reason, the shipwomb was a vitally important part of any long-distance war fleet, such as the one that invaded the known galaxy. The Yuuzhan Vong destroyed the planet Sernpidal in order to "feed" the shipwomb and the "offspring" ships that it would produce, then set up an operation in which several young shipwombs were grown in the remnants of the planet. The first worldship to begin dying was the Baanu Miir, and the Yuuzhan Vong realized that a living shipwomb would allow them to continue their fight against the New Republic. However, Kyp Durron learned of the growing shipwomb, hidden within the remnants of the planet Sernpidal, and convinced Jaina Solo and Rogue Squadron to attack it. He claimed it was a superweapon in order to gain their support, and the combined forces of the Rogues, Kyp's Dozen, and the Ralroos managed to destroy the shipwomb. (EVR)

Shipwreck Moon
This was a term used by many scholars and xenobiologists to describe the Forest Moon of Endor. The name stemmed from the fact that many of the sentient species found on the moon did not evolve there naturally, but were stranded on the moon when their starships experienced malfunctions and had nowhere else to land. Because the Forest Moon of Endor was so remote, many of these stranded travelers were forced to eke out an existence without any outside assistance. Over time, these travelers evolved to fill various niches in the moon's ecosystem, which earned the other nickname "desert island in space." (OWS)

Shipwrights Union
This union was formed during the early years of the New Republic, to ensure that starshipwrights of all skill levels received adequate compensation for their work. Their primary motivation for forming the Union and enforcing its codes was the emergence of droid labor in the construction and repair of starships, especially at the Kuat Drive Yards. (CCW)

Shipyard Lab 6671-X42
This droid starship research facility was jointly funded by the Corellian Engineering Corporation and Loronar Corporation. It was known as the Nerfworks by the employees of the facility, who explained that they were too smelly to be visited by corporate executives. The Lab produced a dozen or so droid-controlled ships, including the YQ-400 Monitor and the Ycaqt Cargo Ship, but only a few of these designs were actually manufactured. (GMR10)

Shir Bank
This was one of the many galactic banking institutions that were based on the planet Coruscant, during the final decades of the Old Republic. The Shir Bank building was distinguished by the huge, black statues that adorned its face. (RCTC)

Sh'ira
This Sullustan female worked as an entertainer in the city of Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. Prior to landing on Tatooine, Sh'ira had been a prisoner at the Imperial detention center on Dathomir. She became a good friend to Ex, and tried to convince the other woman to flee Tatooine after Ex killed an Imperial stormtrooper who had been harassing her. However, Sh'ira was an albino, and her skin pigment made her stand out among the handful of other Sullustans on Tatooine at the time. Sh'ira managed to get Ex off the streets and back to her home, where they made plans to get offplanet as soon as possible. She managed to hire Dravis to take them to Corellia, but Sh'ira was unaware that Dravis had plans to sell them out to the Imperial forces on Corellia. (SWGAL)

Shiraya
This was the ancient Naboo goddess of the moon. (VD3)

Shiraya Fan
This graceful fan of feathers was created for the royalty of the planet Naboo, in honor of the goddess Shiraya. A Shiraya fan was to be worn only by the current ruler of the planet, signifying their place of favor among the gods. (CVD)

Shirb System
This star system was located in the Outer Rim Territories. (PM)

Shire, Josen
This man and his daughter, Tanith, were imprisoned by the Serpent Masters of Ophideraan when their starship crashed into the desert world, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (SWDB)

Shire, Tanith
This young woman worked as a supply tug operator at the Fondor shipyards for many years during the height of the New Order, until she and her father, Josen, were enslaved by the Serpnet Masters of Ophideraan. They had been forced to crash-land their own ship on Ophideraan several years before the Battle of Yavin. They were captured and put to work in the Great Well as slaves of the Serpent Masters, who eventually learned of her former career. Tanith was allowed to leave Ophideraan for brief periods, provided that she returned with a loaded supply ship from Fondor. She would then crash the ships onto Ophideraan for salvaging, before returning to Fondor with stories of system malfunctions. She was rescued from Fondor by Luke Skywalker when he stole the plans to the Super-class Star Destroyer Executor. They fled the shipyards together, and returned to Ophideraan, the only homeworld she knew. Both were quickly placed in the slave levels of the Great Well. After a time, they defeated the Serpent Masters and freed her people. She fell in love with Luke, but decided not to leave her people when he returned to Yavin 4. (CSW, SWDB)

Shiri
This was a common name given to Twi'lek females, and meant "singer" in the Twi'leki language. (GCG)

Shiri'ani
This Twi'leki female worked as Lady Valarian's chief lieutenant during the early years of the New Republic. Valarian trusted her with every aspect of her operations, and groomed Shiri'ani to take over for her when she died. A cunning woman with a shrewd sense of business - both criminal and legitimate - Shiri'ani was a former slave who had been transported to Tatooine by Bib Fortuna. Upon her arrival, she learned that Jabba the Hutt had been killed and Bib Fortuna was missing, so she fled into the streets of Mos Eisley. She was later discovered by Valarian, who believed she might know the location of Jabba's treasure hoards. Valarian later put her to work as a dancer at the Lucky Despot, but quickly discovered Shiri'ani's business skills. Valarian began to groom her as a successor by giving her the opportunity to develop the operations of the Lucky Star hotel and casino. All the while, however, she held a deep need for revenge against Bib Fortuna. Despite her loyalty to Lady Valarian, much of Shiri'ani's focus was on locating her fellow Twi'lek and facing him. When Firith Olan appeared at the Lucky Star, Shiri'ani was immediately drawn to him. She agreed to help him in his operations, hoping that he could locate Fortuna for her. Shiri'ani was completely unaware that it was Fortuna's brain that was functioning in Olan's body. When Firith Olan showed her the brain walker in which he had placed Fortuna's brain, Shiri'ani was only too glad to help torment it, unaware that she was being duped. (SOT)

Shiritoku Spur
This remote, little-used hyperspace travel route connected planets in Wild Space - such as Bakura - to the rest of the galaxy. (GORW)

Shiritoku Way
see Shiritoku Spur (GORW)

Shirka
This man was a Minister with the Ralltiiri Secretariat at the time when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. It was Shirka who refused to allowed Leia Organa-Solo and refugees from Gyndine land on Ralltiir, shortly after Gyndine fell to the Yuuzhan Vong. (JE)

Shirley
This Dilonexan woman was a second cousin to Bernie, a customs inspector who worked at the Dilonexa XXIII spaceport during the early years of the New Order. (LCF)

Shirley
This woman was a famous entertainer, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. She was hired to perform at the delegation held on Kabray station, shortly before the Battle of Endor. During this time, she went by the monicker, The Chanteuse of the Stars. (MC77)

Shirmar Base
This was a staging area and processing center built by the Ugnuaghts on Drudonna. It allowed them to easy access to Velser's Ring. (GG2)

Shiro
This was a species of slow-moving, turtle-like reptiles native to the planet Naboo. The flesh of the shiro was used by the Gungans in a tasty stew. The hard shell of the shiro was deeply ridged and spined, and seeds and spores from swamp plants sometimes became lodged within the ridges. In this way, tooke trap plants often grew from the backs of the shiro, becoming the symbiotic entity known as the shiro-trap. (GF, WSW)

Shiro-Trap
This symbiotic pair of creatures, native to the planet Naboo, was really a tooke-trap plant which had grown onto the top part of the shiro. The relationship allows the shiro to be camouflaged by the tooke trap plant, so predators won't notice it; the tooke trap plant, on the other hand, was protected from being uprooted and eaten by clodhoppers and other Naboo herbivores. (GF)

Shirro
This burly man was the leader of the swoop gang known as the Blood Razors. He always carried a length of metal pipe, and had a special sheath for it mounted on his swoop. He had a tough exterior, but his motivations were always to keep the gang armed and provide for the dishomed of Biivren. (PSG)

Shirshir Desert
This temperate desert was located on the planet Nishr. (ROE)

Shish
One of the communications officers that worked for Booster Terrik aboard the Errant Venture. (SOP)

Shisha Oil
This viscous fluid was used for heating small homes and spaces in desert climates, where temperatures plummeted during the evening. The shisha oil was heated during the day by the energy of the sun (or suns), and then pumped through pipes that were built into the walls of a desert dwelling. The heat from the shisha oil was transferred to the building material in the wall, heating it up and radiating heat into the dwelling.

In addition to providing heat during the evening, shisha oil could be warmed in a special bubbler or hookah and smoked through a pipe. The Toydarian race was especially fond of shisha oil-pipes, as the inhaled oil essences made their skin baggier and gave it a more mottled appearance. (IWE1, CVD)

Shisha Oil-pipe
This device was created to allow beings to literally "smoke" shisha oil as a sedative. The Toydarian race was especially fond of shisha oil-pipes, as the inhaled oil essences made their skin baggier and gave it a more mottled appearance. (NEGC, CVD)

Shissan, Antyard-Wo
This Jedi Knight was killed on Atzerri, during a mission to free Nathanjo Nirrelz from a band of Roshu Sune terrorists. (HNN5)

Shistavanen
This was the name given to the native language of the Shistavanen, consisting of barks and growls. (ANT, UANT)

Shistavanen
This race of wolf-like bipeds was native to the Uvena system. Because very few beings ever encountered a Shistavanen in their travels, these beings were veiled in mystery throughout the galaxy.

They were solitary hunters by nature, and were known for their abilities as bounty hunters and scouts. However, they were also isolationist as a species, and tended to discourage interaction with other species. Because of their hunting and tracking skills, the Empire enlisted the aid of the Shistavanen many times, in an effort to explore the farthest reaches of the galaxy.

The Shistavanen were best-known for their lupine appearance, complete with thick brown fur and glowing, red eyes. The males of the species were generally larger than the females, and both sexes could move about on all-fours or by walking upright. Communication between individuals was accomplished through a combination of loud barks and growls, although many Shistavanen learned the Basic language after the end of the Clone Wars.

Shistavanen society was based on the family unit, with each family including the parents, their offspring, and sometimes the immediate in-laws. Young pups were homeschooled as part of a government program, but they were also trained as hunters and trackers as part of larger groups. Individuals were deemed to have reached adulthood when they made their first kill, often while hunting in the forests of Uvena Prime. (E4, SCRE, AE, NEGA)

Shiu-Shiu Race Systems
This corporation manufactured racing-quality wheeled propulsion systems for use in automated devices like droids and load shifters. (DWK)

Shiv
This man was one of the multitude of clone troopers who made up the Grand Army of the Republic. Shiv and his company mates, like Flankers, spend a great deal of timng training in desert environments. That made it all the more difficult for Shiv to adapt when he was shipped out to the Galactic Republic's sub-zero testing facility on Orto Plutonia. In order to pass the time and keep his sanity, Shiv sent regular notes back to Flankers, even though Flankers had been killed months earlier during the Battle of Christophsis. Shiv himself was killed on Orto Plutonia, when a group of ice men attacked his camp. (CWOC1)

Shiva IV
Princess Leia battled an Imperial warlord on this planet, sometime after the Battle of Hoth. (MC53)

Shive, Horgo
This being served as a Commander in the armed forces created by the InterGalactic Banking Clan. He also saw duty during the Clone War. (NEGV)

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

Shiwal Sector
During the Galactic Civil War, Alliance operations in this area of the galaxy were believed to have been infiltrated by the Gand Findsman Lu'daal-ud. (AIR)

Shi'yayc
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word referred to the color yellow. (OWS)

Shlecho Newt
This creature was native to the Yuuzhan Vong's home galaxy. They preferred to eat coomb spores, a fact that allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to use them to detect the presence of the spores in a victim. They have a brownish-green coloration in their normal state, but turn bright crimson when they detect the presence of coomb spores. (VP)

Shlith-Dan
This Arconan criminal was distinguishable by his dark grey skin, which had several deep brown stripes. He was also addicted to salt, as denoted by his golden eyes. His addiction spans most of his life, and his later years have been spent as a dealer in salt, further deepening his dependence. His small criminal empire grew after he migrated into the Minos Cluster, where his black market network was bested only by that of Yerkys ne Dago. He hoped to locate a method of inducing a similar form of addiction in humans, and succeeded during the Galactic Civil War. He discovered a fungus which, when given to the people of Shesharile 5 and 6, created an intense addiction that nearly tore the worlds apart. (GG6)

Shluur
This troupe of percussionists traveled the galaxy during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, putting on a performance that was part music, part spectacle. The rhythms and vocalizations of the group were gathered from many different cultures, making their repertoire eclectic and often exhilarating. (GORW)

Shmus
This was the designation of a Nebulon-B2 frigate that was part of the Alliance's fleet. (TIE)

Sh'neel, R'shinnos
This M'shinni represented his homeworld of Genassa in the Galactic Senate, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. During the rise of the separatist movement, Senator Sh'neel did not openly question Chancellor Palpatine's actions, but voiced the concern that the Chancellor "was up to something." (HNN4)

Sh'ner-class Planetary Assault Carrier
This pointed, oblong Ssi-ruuvi batleship measured 750 meters in length, rivaling the Shree-class cruisers in sheer size. The Sh'ner-class assault ship was essential to any Ssi-ruuvi attack plan, although it was known that only one Sh'ner-class was sent as part of the force which invaded the planet Bakura. The Sh'ner-class was slow and underpowered for the work it was assigned, and thus was protected by Fw'sen-class picket ships and Wurrif-class light cruisers. They have been equipped with weak shields and minimal weaponry - six ion cannons and two tractor beam projectors - which further increases the need for support craft. The primary mission profile of the Sh'ner-class carrier was to drop off D'kee-class landing ships to battle sites. Each Sh'ner-class ship was equipped with six launch bays to handle the twelve D'kee-class ships it carries. The Sh'ner-class was also sparsely crewed for its size. Only 60 Ssi-ruuk form the command crew and man the entechment labs. 500 P'w'eck were used for assistance and manual labor, so the ship was riddled with stun traps. There were also 30 Ssi-ruuk gunners to man the weapons stations. The Sh'ner-class carrier could also transport up to 5,000 metric tons of cargo. (EGV, TBSB)

Shnick, Tecknel
This underworld leader controls much of the shipping that leaves Travnin. (GG6)

Sho, Harmon
This was a noted member of the Nagai race, Captain Sho led the Nagai invasion of the planet Zeltros. (UANT, GMR1)

Shoals, The
This was the name of one of the first settlements established outside the borders of Bartyn's Landing, on the planet Lamaredd. The Shoals was originally leased by Hugo Bartyn to a group of Quarren workers who wanted to live on their own, yet still remain employed by Bartyn's seafood harvesting operations. Bartyn realized that he could make more money by expanding his base of operations, and later funded several other frontier locations like The Shoals. (GMR7)

Shoame, Trann
This man was the leader of the Qektoth Confederation in the years following the Battle of Endor. Shoame advocated and supported the development of biochemical weapons to use against the weakers races of the galaxy, and tested one of them on the crew of the FarStar. Shoame also negotiated for the rights toseel the biochemical weapon with an unknown agent, trading the weapon for ships from which to unleash the weapon. (KO)

Shobquix Yards
This starship manufacturer built the Gauntlet and Toscan 8-Q starfighters. (CSA, PP)

Shock Baton
Similar to a stun baton, a shock baton was used by riot troopers and other public security forces to control crowds. However, where a stun baton delivered a charge that rendered a being unconscious, a shocl baton discharged an intense electric shock that could drop a being in their tracks. (DSTR)

Shock Blade
This was a kind of heavy knife that could be attached to the end of a lance or pike. In addition to being exceptionally sharp, a shock blade could also deliver a severe electrical shock when it contacted flesh. This jolt of energy had two effects. First, it often stunned a target into submission. Second, it numbed the flesh around the blade, allowing it to cut deeply without causing immediate pain. The victim of such an attack often didn't realize that they had been cut, and bled profusely before realizing their situation. For this reason, shock blades were outlawed in many systems. (E6Y)

Shock Boots
This was a generic term used to describe the protective footwear that was worn by soldiers and paramilitary personnel. These boots were often constructed with a layer of duralumin to create a lightweight but dense covering that protected the flesh and bones of the foot inside. (CN3)

Shock Cloth
Manufactured by Fabreth Medical Biochemicals, this type of cloth was used to control the effects of trauma. When connected to a medical scanner and wrapped around an injured being, the shock cloth provided warmth and could administer fast-acting medicines through dermal contact, reducing the effects of traumatic shock. The dermal contact was maintained by hundreds of tiny injectors woven into the cloth. (GFT, GMR10)

Shock Cord
This flexible, elastic cord was used by climbers as a safety line. If a being fell from a height, and the shock cord was anchored, it would stretch and give before returning to its original length. This allowed the user to survive an otherwise dangerous fall. (HT)

Shock Grenade
This was the name given to any explosive device that produced shock waves, instead of shrapnel, to cause damage. These devices were similar to pressure bombs. (HSR)

Shock Hauler 33
This small fighter was produced by Incom Industries. It measured 14.5 meters in length, and was armed with four laser cannons. (GMR6)

Shock Lance
This was a form of electropole that was developed during the height of the New Order. The ends were tipped with small power generators that delivered a powerful charge when they struck a target. (SWGAL)

Shock Net
This was a generic term used to describe any electrically-charged capture net that was used ton trap and immobilize a being or creature. Similar in many respects to a Conner net, the smaller shock net could be launched with a projectile launcher or simply dropped onto a target. The stunning charge could be remotely activated and turned off, and the strength of the shock could be varied to match the body size of the target. (LF7)

Shock Net
This was the Chiss-developed version of a Conner net. (OF)

Shock Probe
This retractable, half-meter-long device was used by starship mechanics and astromech droids to produce a strong jolt of electricity at a given location or target. The shock probe was primarily used to diagnose problems, but it could also be used as a defensive weapon. (XWP)

Shock Raiders
This was an elite squadron of Black Sun starfighter pilots. (SSE)

Shock Shackles
Similar to stun cuffs, shock shackles were used to bind the legs of a captive prisoner. In addition to the ability to limit the ability of an individual to move about, these shackles could also be activated by a wireless remote to deliver an intense electric shock to the ankles of the wearer. The intensity of the shock could be varied, depending on the species of the being under restraint and the desired effect. (LF9)

Shock Squadron
This New Republic X-Wing squadron was decimated during the defense of Coruscant against the Yuuzhan Vong. After the alien invaders captured the capital world, the survivors of Shock Squadron were reassigned to the Twin Suns Squadron, under the command of Luke Skywalker. (EL1)

Shock Troopers
This group of red-armored clone troopers was specially trained on the planet Coruscant, rather than on Kamino, in order to serve as the personal guards to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Much of their development was a closely-guarded secret, although it was later discovered that a group of Kaminoan cloners was transplanted to Coruscant to bring the shock troopers to life. Ostensibly, the shock troopers were part of the Homeworld Security Command. During the final stages of the Clone Wars, the shock troopers were under the command of Commander Thire. After the establishment of the New Order, the shock troopers became the elite Coruscant Guard. (SWDB)

Shockapede
This was a vicious insect known for its stinging bite. (SBS)

Shock-back
One of the offensive positions played during a game of shockball. (SSR)

Shockball
This was an athletic sport in which two teams try to pass a charged orb into their opponent's goal. They used insulated mitts to pass the orb, which generated a nasty shock when it touched exposed flesh. (HSL)

Shockball 3
A game of strategy and skill found in may up-scale casinos. (WSV)

Shockboxing
This sport pitted two combatants against each other in a triangular-shaped arena known as a wedge. Both fighters wore specialized boxing gloves called shockmitts, that delivered a random electrical charge when they hit an opponent. The strength ranged from a light sting to a near-fatal jolt, and the power of each punch was indicated by a specific color on the shockmitt itself. A shockboxing bout lasted ten phases, with each phase lasting two and a half minutes. Shockboxers were given a one-minute rest period in between each phase. The winner of a bout was determined in one of several ways, including which shockboxer knocked his or her opponent unconscious during a phase. In those cases were neither fighter was knocked out, a decision could be based on points accrued during the bout, or by a physician calling the bout when one shockboxer was too injured to continue. (HR, OWS)

Shocker
This highly-maneuverable combat droid, resembled a winged sphere, was developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The two pairs of wings allowed it to move in tight circles and avoid laser fire, while a dedicated power generator allowed it to fire a burst of intense, electrical energy at its target. In this way, it could incapacitate a living being or overload an electrical system. The primary development facility for shocker droids was hidden on the planet Dagro, until it was destroyed by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. (SWI77)

Shocker Squadron
This was the dedicated starfighter squadron assigned to protect the Jedi Knights' base on Eclipse, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Later, as the war ground on, Shocker Squadron was recalled to help with the general war effort. (SBS, UF)

Shocker Stick
This was the term used to describe the prisoner torture devices that were created by the Separatist forces that served on the planet Gwori, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Each shocker stick was an X-shaped platform that stood upright. A prisoner was then strapped to the shocker stick, with their wrists and ankles being secured to the farthest points of the X shape with electro-restraints. Once the prisoner was secured, an electrical current could be sent coursing through the prisoner's body, shocking them with intense jolts of energy. This allowed the Separatists to torture a prisoner with short bursts of electricity or prolonged periods of pain. A group of prisoners could be strapped to multiple shocker sticks, and the electrical discharges could be administered in random patterns, keeping the prisoners off-guard and forcing them to watch as their companions endured powerful shocks. (CWSOD)

Shocklock
This Borstel ranging laser system was used aboard the Imperial-class Star Destroyers of the Imperial Navy, to feed range and telemetry data to the huge vessels' heavy weapons targeting systems. (E4VG)

Shockmitt
This was the name given to the specialized gloves that were worn by shockboxers. Each shockmitt was equipped with a three-cell battery that could be recharged as needed. This battery was used to deliver a specific kind of shock when the shockmitt struck an opponent. A shockboxer used their thumb to cycle the shock level, from an electrical stun to a ion blast to a repulsor field jolt, before delivering the blow to their opponent. Quick-witted opponents could discern the type of punch coming at them by the color of the glove: blue for stun, white for ion, and green for repulsor. This meant that a quick shockboxer could adjust their own shockmitts to counter their opponent. (OWS)

Shockprod
This was the name of the traditional Gand staff. Measuring more than three meters in length, the shockprod had one end that was shaped into a forked V. Each of the tines at the end of the shockprod could deliver an intense electrical shock, which often stunned or rendered an opponent unconscious. (UANT, NEGA)

Shockstaff
This was the term used to describe any ancient staff or polearm that was equipped with a small power generator that could release a stunning jolt of energy when it came into contact with skin or flesh. (KOR4)

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

Shockwave
Harrsk's flagship Imperial-class Star Destroyer, the Shockwave was built at his own hidden shipyards in the Core Systems. The Star Destroyer was ravaged by Teradoc's fleet while Harrsk was discussing unification with Admiral Daala, and exploded while Kratas was on board. (DS)

Shockwave
This spherical concussion missile was produced just before the Clone Wars. It was noted for the way in which the concussion field expanded in a sphere, allowing a ship gunner to fire it the midst of several attackers and have the effects of the blast hit multiple targets. (GMR9)

Shockwave Generator
This was a form of sonic weapon developed by the ancient Mandalorian Crusaders. It used an intense wave of sonic energy create the shockwave, which tore apart a target upon impact. These devices were installed in the nose of each Basilisk War Droid, and appeared to be a collection of thick-barreled rods. Each rod was installed at a unique angle, allowing each rod to send its shockwave pulse to a specific point, where they pulses combined to form a single, powerful beam of energy. This beam produced an intense burst of plasma energy that could pierce the hull of a starship. (SWI80, NEGD)

Shockwhip
This vicious weapon was formed from a thin strand of flexsteel connected to an insulated handgrip. Within the grip was a small power generator, which produces a stunning electric charge through the flexsteel whip whe activated. (SWJ9)

Shockwire
This was the term used to describe the section of bouncewire that was randomly charged with electricity, during a shockboxing match. The shockwire was given a low-voltage electrical charge that caused a jolt to any shockboxer who came into contact with it, adding to the pain the boxer was already experiencing in the bout. (OWS)

Sho'cye
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word meant "ocean." (OWS)

Shodeesh
When translated into Basic, this Ewok word meant "parents." (GPB)

Shogun
This planet was known for its unusual dreamscapes. (SWI80)

Shok
This Mandalorian word referred to a beam or joist made from wood or other material, and used in construction of a building. (OWS)

Shokita
This Mandalorian word meant "shelf" when translated into Basic. (OWS)

Shola
The surface of this planet was dotted with large flows of lava, which were continually moving and forming new land masses. The abundance of free-flowing lava dumped large amounts of toxic fumes into the air, forcing any being who walked on the surface to wear a breath mask or other form of protection. (LAWS)

Shol'Arma
This man discovered that the Mon Calamari Leviathan armor could be used by other humanoids, provided that they understood that they had to move about like a Mon Calamari. (GUN)

Sholb, Eckla
This member of the Yuuzhan Vong Shamed Ones was also one of the many individuals who flocked to the religion of The Message which was embraced by Yu'shaa, the guise of the Porophet adopted by Nom Anor. She was, unfortunately, one of the many acolytes who were captured by warriors and brought before Supreme Overlord Shimrra for interrogation. Eckla had been well-trained, and refused to reveal the source of the heresy. She was thrown into Shimrra's charnal pits for her defiance, where she was consumed by a pack of yargh'un. (FH3)

Shollo
This bounty hunter liked to use the S-3 force cage to transport his prisoners, but once gave a captive a datapad with some fiction to read. The resourceful captive used its circuitry to bypass the force cage's shocking system, allowing him to escape. (GUN)

Shomu, Mont
This was one of the aliases adopted by the spy Kaird, during the time he spent on the planet Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars. Shomu was a corpulent human, and the costume was effective because it completely masked Kaird's true form. It was Shomu who provided Ord Vorra with a copy of the latest broadcast of Galactic Sports Update, which chronicled the Strag Sector Match Championship. Kaird counted on the fact that Vorra would bring her boyfriend, Biggs Bogan, to view the recording, which would allow Kaird to disable Bogan and obtain control of Admiral Erel Kersos' shuttle. (MJH)

Shoni
This was a species of large, pelagic swordfish that was native to the oceans of the planet Kalee. The average specimen weighed more than 500 kilograms, and measured well over four meters in length. About one-third of the shoni's total length was in their sharp, thick bill, which was used to school baitfish and as a defense mechanism against larger predators. The bill of the female shoni was often much larger than that of the male. Because of the durability and sharpness of the bill, and because their flesh was edible, the shoni were hunted by the Kaleesh. The bills were severed from the head and used to make a natural spear, but because the females had larger bills, they were hunted to the point that the entire species was placed in danger of extinction.

Shoni Spear
This was one of the melee weapons that were favored by the Kaleesh. The spear itself was made from the sharp bill of a shoni, a swordfish that was native to the oceans of Kalee. Because the female shoni was larger than the male, the Kaleesh focused their harvesting of shoni spears on the females. This nearly led to the extinction of the shoni, until the Kaleesh realized their mistake. Shoni spears were later used to hunt mumuu, but because the length of a shoni spear was never more than two meters, the Kaleesh who used them had to get very close to the mumuu in order to attack it. This specialized hunting technique later became the basis for mumuu fighting. (OWS)

Shoran, along with Dryanta, Jowdrrl, and Lumpawarump, went with Chewbacca to rescue Solo. When the Wookiees attacked the Pride of Yevetha, Shoran and Chewbacca went in first. During the initial firefight, Shoran was gravely injured by a blaster bolt. Shoran was brought back to the Millennium Falcon by Chewbacca, but was unable to recover despite the ministrations of the New Republic. He died after being treated on the Intrepid. (RD, TT)

Shorda'ki
This was the Tarasinese word used to describe one of the most solemn and powerful of all the Tarasin rites. By invoking the shorda'ki, the Tarasin expended a great deal of strength - both physcial and mental - to ensure the very survival of their species. History only recorded two invocations of the shorda'ki, once during the wars that nearly destroyed the ancient Tarasin, and another during the height of the Clone Wars. This latter invocation was performed in preparation for the tarana-te'sath, which the Tarasin believed was about to occur after discussions with a strange Human Jedi Knight.

Shorin, Tala
This was one of the galaxy's most well-known Priapulin. (GMR8)

Shoroni Sapphire
This incredibly rare and valuable gemstone was noted for its unusual color. Shoroni sapphires were unusual in that their crystalline structure was both bi-refringent and bi-axial, which meant that light passing through the stone moved in complex ways, often refracting within the crystalline matrix before becoming visible. Thus, when viewed in one kind of light, shoroni sapphires seemed to glow with a rich, cobalt blue color. In other light, they had a vibrant, forest green color. While these gemstones were favored by many wealthy individuals, the only way to mine them was to destroy large tracts of forestlands. This work was often performed by slave laborers who often died in the process, and so many star systems outlawed the possession of shoroni sapphires during the final years of the Old Republic. This only added to the value of those stones that were owned in the galaxy, making a shoroni sapphire one of the most expensive gemstones known. (RCTC, RC66)

Short
This was the name used by Gaph and R'vanna to describe the shorter of the two humans who approached them to forge a series of transport vouchers for refugees on Ruan. Working with his partner, known only as Tall, Short transported his charges aboard the freighter Trevee. (JE)

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

Shortfang, Sidney
This Pada was a miner and prospector, and spent much of his career working the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt with Gideon Smith. Like all Pada, Sidney hated violence and killing, and was rather reserved. This made him the opposite of Gideon's swaggering boisterousness, but their relationship deepened because of their good fit. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Sidney and Gideon met Luke Skywalker, and enlisted his help in rescuing Erling Tredway from Imperial Governor Parnell's prison on Tol Ado. During the rescue, Sidney was forced to kill a stormtrooper who would have surely killed Luke and Gideon. Sidney greatly regretted the action, feeling that his soul would be stained forever. Both Gideon and Luke reminded him that, if he hadn't shot the trooper, they would all be dead along with Erling. This reassurance did little for Sidney's spirit, but he remained loyal to his friends. However, Sidney was killed shortly after Luke and Erling escaped from the prison, in a firefight with Imperial troops. Luke made sure to remember Sidney's contributions when he returned to Yavin 4. (JH)

Short-term Repulsor
This was a generic term used to describe any repulsorlift system that was designed to work for a short period of time. These repulsors found widespread use in starship ejection systems, and could be used to help cushion the landing of a pilot who had been forced to abandon their ship. The short-term repulsor was powered by a small battery pack that was kept charged by the ship's main power systems, but this battery pack drained quickly under the demands of the repulsor. (FJ1)

(HNN4)

Shoto
This was a specially-built, half-length lightsaber that was developed by the new Jedi Order, in the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Jedi Knights discovered that a normal ligthsaber was often a hindrance in close quarters, especially when engaged in one-on-one combat. Thus, the shoto was developed to be wielded in cramped areas. The development of the shoto also allowed many Jedi to train in the Jar'Kai style of fighting, using a normal ligthsaber in one hand and the shoto in the other. Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker took up the shoto in the years following the Swarm War, when he discovered that Lumiya had reappeared in the galaxy. He found that using a shoto allowed him to get closer to the female Dark Jedi, thereby eliminating her ability to use her lightwhip. (LF3)

Show the Flag
This was a term used by the military leaders of the Alliance Starfighter Command division to describe a mission in which Alliance starships entered hostile or enemy territory without any notice, even if the enemy outnumbered them. The idea behind "showing the flag" was two-fold: to show any oppressed or subjugated peoples that they had friend in the Alliance and there was hope for their freedom, and to show the enemy that they were neither safe nor secure despite their numerical or technological superiority. (RASB, OWS)

Show, The
This was a slang term used by starfighter pilots to describe a space battle. (HSE)

Showalter
A Captain serving the New Republic Intelligence agency, he greets Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian when they return from their discovery of Thrackan Sal-Solo's interdiction field.

Showolter
This New Republic Major was placed in charge of the mission to bring the Yuuzhan Vong priestess Elan to a facility on Wayland, where the New Republic could interview her. Showolter was a former member of the Alliance military intelligence agency, and he often played the part of an Imperial officer while on a mission. His muscular physique gave him the right body to blend in the the Imperials, but became a liability after the Battle of Endor. Then, while working for the New Republic, his thick body made him stand out more. This led to his promotion into more of a supervisory role, which he held at the time the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion. Showolter and Elan made it to Wayland without a problem, but the Yuuzhan Vong launched a false "assassination" attempt on Elan's life after they arrived at Wayland. Their location was given away by Elan's familiar, Vergere, and forced Showolter to book transport for them to Coruscant. Traveling as a couple - with Elan wearing an ooglith masquer to appear human - they boarded the Queen of Empire in order to return to the Core. Unfortunately, the Peace Brigade learned of the undercover operation from a well-placed spy in the New Republic, and intercepted the luxury cruiser. In an attempt to save Elan's life, Showolter took blaster fire from the Peace Brigade's mercenaries. Badly injured, he was forced to turn Elan and Vergere over to Han Solo. Showolter eventually recovered from his injuries. (HT, NJOSB)

Shredder Bat
A vicious, avian creature native to the planet Atrisia, shredder bats were extremely adaptable to a variety of ecosystems. They have a wingspan of up to a meter across, and hunted in packs of more than twenty individuals.Shredder bats use a complex hearing system, with hearing organs in their necks and behind their ears, to sonically locate their prey. They attacked their prey by diving down on it and taking bites with their sharp fangs, causing their prey to bleed to death. The bats would then land on the downed prey and use their long tongues to consume all the blood and other bodily fluids. They were considered a dangerous nuisance throughout the galoaxy, as colonies of shredder bats have been established on over 1,000 different worlds. Once in a new environment, they tend to attack everything in sight in order to establish a territory. These attacks include humans and humanoids. (ND, COG)

Shreebird
This rare avian was nearly extinct by the time the Clone Wars began. A special aviary was erected on Coruscant to preserve a small colony of shreebirds. (HNN4)

Up to 500 Ssi-ruuvi battle droids can be carried in its holds. The decks on the Shree-class were five meters tall, to accommodate the Ssi-ruuk body. The P'w'ecks that perform menial tasks on the ships have a series of accessways and tunnels in which they can operate. Stun-traps have been set in various access portals to keep the P'w'ecks from entering sensitive areas. Unlike most galactic ships, the Ssi-ruuvi designs lack anti-gravitational systems, and so they employ conductive netting to help stabilize gravity. They also lacked reliable inertial compensators, and sudden changes in direction caused inprepared passengers to be thrown against bulkheads. It also had a large entechment lab used to power the ship and its drones. Each Shree-class cruiser required a crew complement of 800 Ssi-ruuk officers, 234 gunners, 5,000 P'w'eck laborers, and 350 P'w'eck troops. It could also transport up to 5,000 metric tons of cargo. (EGV, TBSB)

Shreetam'tiz
This specially-bred subspecies of the Yuuzhan Vong yammosk was created to emit a powerful signal of interference within the telepathic bands used by yammosks, dhuryams, and other such bio-engineering organisms. This allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to temporarily disrupt the control a yammosk had over starships, or broke the link between a dhuryam and its attendant slaves. The shreeyam'tiz was a large, barrel-shaped creature that existed in a large vat of nutrient fluid, and had to be carried into location by Yuuzhan Vong warriors. The shreeyam'tiz was especially useful during the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat, when the dhuryams had to figure out a way to survive without the help of their slaves. (T)

Shreev
This small, winged creature was native to the planet S'krrr. They were the natural enemies of the drog beetle, which was the favored food of the shreev. The bat-like shreev were covered with blue fur, and have a snake-like tail. They were protected by the S'krrr, because they kept the drog beetle population under control. Without the shreev, the drog beetles would eventually consume all the crops grown on S'krrr. The average shreev can consume some thirty drog beetles each day. (GOF8)

This was the name given to a class of bombers that were designed and developed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Full-scale production of these ships, designated as the YT-5100, didn't begin for many years, although ten prototypes were deployed as part of Operation Noble Savage. The Shriek-class bomber was designed to deploy a variety of payloads, and the early prototypes were also designed to deploy targeter droids. The ten prototypes were so new that the Galactic Alliance's sensors were unable to determine the exact nature of the YT-5100 bombers that showed up on their scopes. (LF1)

Shriek-hawk
This was the common name of the jai'galaar, which was native to the planet Mandalore. (SWI86)

Shrier, Osman
This short-statured, ovine being was the owner of several luxury cruise ships in the Outer Rim Territories, during the height of the New Order. The names of all of his ships began with the letters "O.S.S.," which stood for "Osman Shrier's Ship." Despite his intentions of becoming a respected cruise master, Shrier's appearance often caused him to be disregarded as something of a clown or buffoon.

He employed without prejudice, using street urchins to beg and steal while using strong alien races for extortion and loan sharking. He was infamous among the underworld for his elaborate schemes, in which he would swindle the rich and wealthy of Corellia out of their credits. He ran the Trader's Luck with an iron hand, and demanded complete loyalty or swift retribution would follow. He dressed in the style of Imperial Moffs, with several medals and decorations purchased at pawn shops. It was Shrike who pulled a young Han Solo from the alleys of Corellia, taking the boy in and using him in many of his best schemes. When Han tried to leave the Trader's Luck, Shrike killed the Wookiee Dewlanna before he was knocked cold by young Solo. Shrike never forgot the incident, and when he discovered Han on Coruscant, he intended to pay him back. Their struggle spanned several levels of the city-world's structures before Shrike gained the upper hand. Just as he was about to deal Han a deadly blow, a bounty hunter that had been trailing Han shot Shrike dead. Han was able to escape the bounty hunter as well, dodging a charge at the last minute and sending the hunter careening into a stone structure and snapping his neck. Han then switched clothing with the hunter, placing all his false IDs in the hunter's jacket. He then burned the face off the hunter with Shrike's blaster and dumped the body into a seemingly bottomless shaft. With Shrike dead and his IDs on another body, Han was finally free of his past. (TPS)

Shrike, Larrad
This man was Garris Shrike's brother. As cruel and demented as Garris, Larrad was one of the bullies who maintained order on the Trader's Luck. When Han Solo attempted to flee the ship, Dewlanna the Wookiee stepped in to help him. Larrad and seveeral others noticed that Han had bypassed several security systems, and they set out to apprehend the youth. As Garris struck out at Solo, Larrad was attacked by Dewlanna. The Wookiee grabbed him by the arm and swung him around with all her might, smashing Larrad into a bulkhead and breaking nearly every bone in his body. Larrad didn't survive. (TPS)

Shrike, Vytor
This tough, crafty Gand findsman renounced his trade and joined a group of freedom fighters. He later served as Adar Tallon's First officer on the Battalion, and was involved in the staging of Tallon's death. Shrike remained on Tatooine for a short time, but became restless. He left to pursue a short career as a mercenary, until he heard about the bounty on Tallon's head. Although ultimately loyal to his own ideals, Shrike returned to Tatooine to help his old friend. (MTS, TM)

Shrine of the Sleeper
This chamber was located in DarkStryder's fortress, on the planet Kathol. It was here that the Yapi and Charr Ontee discovered the image of the Sleeper. When DarkStryder drove the Charr Ontee and the Yapi away, they took the image with them, because they knew that DarkStryder feared the return of the Sleeper. The crew of the FarStar, after surviving the destruction of their ship, discovered that the Shrine contained the preserved body of the Jedi Knight Halbret, who had been trapped on Kathol during the Rift Disaster. It was Halbret's image the Charr Ontee remembered. Halbret had been preserved by the Kathol after she helped them enter the Lifewell, mainly to help restore the Kathol once the danger of the Dark Jedi had passed. However, DarkStryder continued to evolve, and chose not to revive Halbret or the Kathol, desiring power for itself. (E)

This ancient monuments were claimed by the Fellowship of Kooroo to be the original edifices built by Kooroo to focus the minds of his followers on true enlightenment. The Fellowship of Kooroo believed the enlightenment came in the form of telepathic abilities. The shrines consisted of a central, domed sanctuary surrounded by carved stone obelisks. The obelisks were all inscribed with runes and sigils, and their placement around the central building resembled the spokes of a wheel. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, reporter Andor Javin earned the wrath of the Fellowship of Kooroo by claiming that the Shrines were not religious artifacts but a form of ancient communication device created by an ancient civilization which scouted the galaxy millions of years earlier. (SWJ13)

Shrinlasti
This material was developed for use in making seals and caps, during the years following the Swarm War. Shrinlasti was a form of plastic polymer that could be heated until pliable, then molded into a specific shape. As it cooled, the shrinlasti shrunk to form to the contours of the mold, yet the final product remained somewhat flexible. The fact that it was electrically non-conductive allowed shrinlasti to be used in the production of dustcaps and other protective sleeves for weapons. (LF9)

Sh'rip Sh'pa
This was the name given to Yuuzhan Vong spawn ships, which were similar in appearance to gargantuan gemstones. These ships were essentially freighters or cruisers that had been refitted to transport terraforming biotechnology to newly-conquered planets. Measuring about 810 meters in length, the Sh'rip Sh'pa required a crew of 525 Yuuzhan Vong warriors to operate, and could accommodate up to 2,044 passengers - usually from the Shaper caste - and 2,460 metric tons of cargo. These ships were armed with forty plasma cannons, any of which could be moved to a different facet of the hull to provide an infinite range of fire. A specialized dovin basal provided enhanced protection, helping to ensure that the Sh'rip Sh'pa reached its destination intact. (NJOSB)

Shriwirr
A Ssi-ruuvi Shree-class battle cruiser, the Shriwirr was the flagship of the Ssi-ruuk attack on the planet Bakura. The word shriwirr means "ripe with eggs" in the Ssi-ruuvi language. The Shriwirr was accompanied by 4 Wurrif-class light cruisers, 20 Fw'sen-class picket ships, a Sh'ner-class planetary assault carrier, 12 D'kee-class P'w'eck landing ships, and a Lwhekk-class manufacturing ship. A force of over 1,300 battles droids was unleashed in the system. It was captured by the Luke Skywalker and the Alliance during the Battle of Bakura, when Luke escaped from his entechment chair. The Ssi-ruuk evacuated the ship, rather than facing Luke's ability with the Force and possibly dying on an unconsecrated world, and abandoned the ship. It was later renamed the Sibwarra, in honor of Dev Sibwarra's sacrifice to alert the Alliance to the Ssi-ruuvi threat, although its crew secretly called it the Flutie. (TB, EGV, TBSB)

Shron
This small, volcanic world was the innermost planet of the Hoth System. (PH)

Shronker
This game was popular in the Tangor Square district of the planet Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. Players found themselves immersed in a holographic representation of a solar system, complete with stars, planets, moons, and comets. The types of worlds, their positions, and their orbits could be customized at the start of each game, or could be chosen from a set of pre-determined variations. Each player controlled one of the comets that moved through the miniature solar system, and used their comet to strike the other objects in an effort to plunge the planets and moons into the star at the center of the system. The winner was determined by whoever caused the final body to be consumed by the star. Because each type of world had different properties, the cometary impact had different results for each world. Larger planets were easier to hit, and could be moved into the star with relative ease. Moons were much smaller, and took more skill to destroy. (CN1)

Shroom Steak
Despite its name, this was not actually a cut of meat, but a thickly cut piece of mushroom which grew on the planet Drongar. Because the mushroom was so large, and its cooked texture was tender and firm, it was called a steak in many recipes and menus. (MBS)

Shroomchip
This was a snackfood that was created by frying thinly-sliced pieces of the native mushrooms that grew near the swamps of the planet Drongar. (MBS)

Sh'roth, Yus
This was one of the small group of Shamed Ones who lived with Vuurok I'pan beneath the surface of Coruscant, after the planet had been transformed into a likeness of Yuuzhan'tar. Sh'roth was once a Shaper, and was one of the older members of I'pan's small cadre of friends. Like the rest of their cadre, Sh'roth believed that the Jedi Knights were not abominations, but saviors of the Shamed Ones and symbols of the new ideology which should be embraced by the Yuuzhan Vong. For this reason, their band remained small, in case they were captured by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors. This ensured that their small cult of Jedi followers would never be fully discovered. Sh'roth was serving sentry duty when the small band of heretics was discovered by Yuuzhan Vong warriors. Sh'roth was the first to die as the warriors attacked the Shamed Ones mercilessly. (FH1)

Shroud
This was the name used by the New Republic to describe the Ghtroc 720 freighter it modified for use by Luke Skywalker. It was named for the covert shroud maneuver, for which the ship became famous. The Republic's technicians gutted the basic Ghtroc 720 and chopped a landing bay inside its hold area. Most of the cargo space was dedicated to the hangar, but a small amount was kept in the bow of the ship for storage of the trac-reflective countermeasures used in the covert shroud manevuer. A repulsorlift generator was added to assist in getting particles out in front of the ship, and an rear-facing proton torpedo launcher was added. (TTSB)

Shroud
This Arakyd Helix Interceptor starship was owned by the Shi'ido Hoole, and he used it to transport himself and his young charges, Tash and Zak Arranda, across the galaxy during the Galactic Civil War. It had been owned by Doctor Evazan, and sold to Meego to fund Evazan's reanimation serum development. When Hoole attempted to get off the planet, D-V9 discovered that Meego had sold the ship Hoole had put a downpayment on. D-V9 negotiated for the sale of the Shroud, and eventually got Meego to sell the ship even before he had wiped its memory banks clean. It was equipped with a GBp-629 hyperdrive, and Hoole later had equipped it with a slave circuit, in order to hide it during their adventures and then call it out when needed. The ship was nearly destroyed over the planet Kiva, when an automated defense system shot the Shroud down. Hoole managed to land it safely, and an Alliance team later rescued them. (GOF2, GOF7, GOF11)

Shroud
This was the term used to describe any wave-layered explosive device that was designed to eject highly reflective particles into space, in an effort to confuse the tractor beam of another vessel. The bomb exploded in several pulses of energy, releasing more and more shrapnel and creating an ever-changing shroud of debris from which the targetted vessel could escape.

Developed during the height of the New Order, shrouds were relatively uncommon, although many smugglers and independent spacers employed them during escapes from Imperial patrols. A true shroud was often expensive, however, and many starship owners found that they could use any reflective material to create an impromptu shroud, even the debris of a damaged starfighter. Simpler versions of the shroud, including the use of simple gas-ejected particles, resulted in the development of the so-called covert shroud maneuver. (A)

Shroud Team
This group of Alliance operatives was one of the busiest groups of the Divis Arm, based in Corint City on Pirik. Led by Dutra Zeneta, the group acted as spies, foster agents, and infiltrators. (SWJ10)

Shroud-liquid
This unusual fluid was capable of fooling sensors and other detection devices. It was often used in the construction of bombs and other terrorist devices, since it allowed the devices to be transported into an otherwise secure location. (OF)

Shrovl, Caet
This female Shistavenan Wolfman was an albino, and was one of the pilots in Rock Squadron, serving the Khuiumin Survivors. She served as Rock Ten during the attack on the Galaxy Chance. Her albino coloration meant that she was extremely sensitive to light, and had to fully cover herself to walk around during the day. She considered her albinism the fault of the Empire, for they had experimented on her mother. She joined the Survivors because of their hatred for the Empire. Because of her self-imposed isolation, she was an easy target for Remart Sasyru, who beat her badly before being shipped to Bolt Squadron. She was one of the first Invids to test on the Tri-fighters Corran had equipped with hyperdrives, and she used this training to flee Courkrus when Corran, disguised as an "avenging Jedi," began terrorizing the pirate groups. (IJ)

Shrulldike, Gorvan
Known as "Blackblood" to the Daupherm military, this man was a loyal member of the military until he decided to defect and become a smuggler. He recruited Evram Darkmere, and the two managed to steal a ship from the Daupherm government. They renamed it the Retribution, and set out to make a living as smugglers. Shrulldike had few morals, and chose to make a living transporting slaves. Darkmere objected to this career, and challenged Shrulldike for command of the ship. In single combat, Darkmere soundly defeated Shrulldike and assumed command of the Retribution. (CRO)

Shrupak
This was considered by the Kaleesh people to have been the most sacred of the temples found on their homeworld of Kalee. (SWI86)

Shryne, Jen
This man, a native of the planet Weytta, was the father of Roan Shryne. Many decades before the Clone Wars, Jen and his wife, Jula, celebrated the birth of a son, whom they named Roan. Roan showed a strong connection to the Force, and was chosen for training at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. While Jen wanted to send Roan to Coruscant, Jula fought against losing her only son. In the end, Jen went behind her back to contact the Jedi, and Roan was taken to Coruscant for training. Jula refused to continue living with Jen, and left him to start her life over again. Years later, when Jula was reunited with Roan in the aftermath of the Clone Wars, she explained that Jen simply had a strength of conviction about his decision to turn Roan over to the Jedi. Jula, however, lacked such strength, and couldn't live with Jen without thinking of Roan and having her broken over and over. (RDV)

Shryne, Jula
This woman was a noted smuggler Captain who plied the spacelanes of the Outer Rim Territories with her crew aboard the Drunk Dancer during the final years of the Old Republic. Many years earlier, Jula nand her husband, Jen, had celebrated the birth of a son, whom they named Roan. However, Roan showed a strong connection to the Force, and was chosen for training at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. While Jen wanted to send Roan to Coruscant, Jula fought against losing her only son. In the end, Jen went behind her back to contact the Jedi, and Roan was taken to Coruscant for training. Jula refused to continue living with Jen, and left him to start her life over again. She later revealed to Roan that she had also been chosen for training with the Jedi, but her own parents had refused to allow it. Jula claimed that this was perhaps the best thing that ever happened to her, aside from Roan's birth. After separating from Jen, Jula took up flying, and eventually earned enough credits to purchase the Drunk Dancer. She held out a small hope that she might run into Roan someday, a hope that was fulfilled in the wake of the Clone Wars. She explained that she had kept the Drunk Dancer in the vicinity of Murkhana because she had felt Roan through the Force, and took Cash Garrulan's job in order to see him one more time. After rescuing a group of Jedi survivors near Mossak and then locating a secure landing place on Jaguada's moon, Jula grudgingly gave in to Olee Starstone's plan to establish a deep-space link to the Jedi Archives. Working with Filli Bitters, Starstone planned to access the Jedi Order's databases and locate any possible Jedi survivors of Order 66. The smugglers knew of a hyperwave transceiver hidden on the moon's abandoned communications facility, since they had delivered it to Darth Tyranus there many years earlier. After escaping from Jaguada, Jula accepted another mission on behalf of Cash Garrulan, this time traveling to Alderaan to secretly transport Senator Fang Zar to his homeworld of Sern Prime. However, their mission was discovered by the Empire, and Darth Vader himself was dispatched to intercept them. When Roan tried to block Vader's advance, the Dark Lord threw his lightsaber into the air. Using the Force, Vader ensured that the arcing blade slashed through the chest of Senator Zar, all but killing him on the spot. As the blade continued its arc, it caught Jula across the back, badly injuring her. Jula eventually survived, but Senator died on the operating table. Shortly afterward, Roan felt the Force draw him to Kashyyyk, and Jula agreed to travel there to see what was wrong. On the jungle planet, Roan was killed in a struggle with Darth Vader, which allowed Starstone and the surviving Jedi to escape the planet. Although Jula grieved for her son's death, she recognized that he had sacrificed himself so that Starstone and the others could live. (RDV)

Shryne, Roan
A native of the planet Weytta, this Jedi Master was dispatched with Saras Loorne and Bol Chatak to lead the fighting on Murkhana during the final stages of the Clone Wars. As a Padawan, Shryne often found himself struggling to connect with the Force, a feeling that often manifested itself as a cloudy haze that blurred his meditations. The haze was sometimes tinged with red, which Shryne read as a bad omen. However, when the haze cleared and he could connect to the Force, Shryne was one of the most giftest students at the Jedi Temple. His Master, Nat-Sem, spent a great deal of time with Shryne, helping him to see beyond the haze to the radiance of the Force. When the Clone Wars broke out, Shryne was among the handful of Jedi who earned the trust and respect of their clone squads. A couple of years older than Obi-Wan Kenobi, he had been considered one of the "Old Guard," along with Kenobi, Mace Windu, and Qui-Gon Jinn, but was never considered for membership on the Jedi Council. He credited his ability understand his clone troops, as well as his skills as a swordsman, to his thirty years of training as a Jedi. He lost his Master, Nat-Sem, and his first Padawan at the Battle of Geonosis, and lost his second Padawan shortly afterward during the Battle of Manari. He chose not to accept another apprentice, and his entire demeanor changed in the wake of the fighting on Manari. When the communication to execute Order 66 was received by Climber on Murkhana, however, the clone refused to obey the order. Climber later explained that although their loyalty was to the Republic, the Jedi who worked with them had shown no acts of treason to warrant their execution. Although this allowed Shryne and Starstone to remain free, it was only a temporary respite, as Darth Vader himself was dispatched to Murkhana to eliminate them. In order to blend in better, Shryne captured several mercenaries and stole their clothes for the Jedi to wear, then discarded his own lightsaber into the waters of Murkhana Bay. He briefly regretted the move when Darth Vader arrived on Murkhana to punish Ion Team, and was confronted by Chatak. The Zabrak was no match for Vader's strength, and was quickly cut down. Shryne then sought out Olee Starstone and escaped into the maze of Murkhana City to avoid being captured. With the help of Cash Garrulan, Shryne and Starstone were able to escape from Murkhana aboard the Drunk Dancer, where Shryne was unexpectedly reunited with his mother, Jula. After gaining her confidence, Shryne and Starstone convinced the crew of the Drunk Dancer meet up with, and rescue, another group of Jedi survivors led by Siadem Forte. Shryne found himself the unacknowledged leader of the small band of Jedi, a role he did not want. He had come to the realization that he needed to fight back against the newly-formed Empire in more subtle ways, and decided to remain with the crew of the Drunk Dancer when Starstone set out to locate more Jedi survivors. Thus, he was on Alderaan to rescue Fang Zar when Darth Vader arrived on the planet. Rather than allow Vader an easy kill, Shryne confronted the Dark Lord in the Royal Palace. However, he found himself powerless when Vader threw his lightsaber rather than attack Shryne. The blade slashed through the chest of Senator Zar before catching Jula across the back. After Zar's death, Roan began to reassess his position in the galaxy, until the Force provided him with an image of Starstone in trouble on Kashyyyk. He convinced Jula to make a run for the jungle planet, where he discovered Vader standing over several injured and dead bodies, about to slay Starstone. Roan stepped in, allowing Starstone to escape with the injured. His left shoulder and arm were badly injured in a fall, and it was all Shryne could do to keep Vader at bay. After Shryne suffered a second, more devastating fall, Vader did the unexpected: he revealed that he was, in fact, the former Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker. Shryne died knowing that the Jedi Order had been destroyed by one of its own, but he also died knowing that the Force itself could never die, and that the light side would eventually triumph over the dark. Official reports later issued by Imperial HoloVision claimed that Shryne was killed for trying to disrupt an Imperial recruiting effort. (SWI83, RDV, SWI87)

Sh'shak
This S'krrr warrior was his planet's champion in the years just prior to the Empire's invasion of the Ishanna System. He was also a renowned poet among the S'krrr. He was destined to meet Mika Streev in battle on the Combat Moon, should a dispute arise between S'krrr and Rabaan. He meticulously studied human anatomy and psychology, looking for any advantage he could find. Sh'shak was short for a S'krrr, measuring only 1.7 meters in height, but he was well-trained in the ways of the warrior. He meditated prior to combat, to center his thoughts on the battle ahead. When the Empire finally decided to subjugate the system, Sh'shak and Streev were already on the Combat Moon, preparing to do battle in the ritual Combat. Imperial forces, with the help of Andos Delvaren, attempted to escalate the conflict into a full-scale war by killing both combatants. Sh'shak was hunting Streev when the Imperials began hunting Streev. Streev managed to escape, convinved Sh'shak to work together and them off. Sh'shak was injured when Commander Glave shot him in the thorax, but was rescued by Streev and a group of Alliance agents. They escaped off the moon, and agreed to join the Alliance after they hunted down Delvaren and Glave. (SWJ9, GOF8)

Sh'shuun
This planet, also known as Lao-mon, was the homeworld of the Shi'ido race. Very little was known about the planet, other than it was a tropical world in the Colonies Region. The name Sh'shuun was a Shi'ido word. (GOF4, UANT)

Sh'simm
This was one of the small group of Shamed Ones who lived beneath the surface of Coruscant, after the planet had been transformed into a likeness of Yuuzhan'tar. Sh'simm was one of the few Shamed Ones who lived independently, away from groups like that led by Vuurok I'pan. Like the other Shamed ones, though, Sh'simm believed that the Jedi Knights were not abominations, but saviors of the Shamed Ones and symbols of the new ideology which should be embraced by the Yuuzhan Vong. For this reason, their band remained small, in case they were captured by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors. This ensured that their small cult of Jedi followers would never be fully discovered. (FH1)

Sh'tk'ith
This Ssi-ruuvi Elder was known as Bluescale because of his coloration. He was extremely well-versed in the physiology of humans, and was the leader of the task force dispatched to subjugation the planet Bakura. Sh'tk'ith was also charged with maintaining the obedience of Dev Sibwarra. It was discovered that Sh'tk'ith was chosen for the leadership of the Bakura mission by the Shreeftut itself, and acted as the Shreeftut's voice to the Ssi-ruuk on the mission. There were rumors that Sh'tk'ith was the true power behind the Shreeftut, but no facts were discovered before Sh'tk'ith died during the Battle of Bakura. Luke Skywalker believed that Sh'tk'ith was the exact opposite this, sent to Bakura with enough power to draw potential enemies away from Lwhekk and the Shreeftut. (TB, TBSB)

Supreme Overlord Shimrra, eager to re-establish his place as the leader of his people, used their grievances to prove that their generations-long travel between galaxy had led the Yuuzhan Vong to forget their gods. (UF)

Shuldene
This ice-covered planet was located in the Yarith Sector of the galaxy, just Coreward of the Kiax Nebula. The planet was once covered with oceans, but its orbit was pushed outward by an unknown event, and the surface water forze solid. (WOA33)

Shulell
This city was the capital of the planet Lan Barell. Also known as Shulell City, this small city grew from the Qieg nest known as the Quilan Hive, which was later surrounded by the original human settlement established on the planet by Gaminne Group Incorporated, more than a millennium before the Battle of Yavin. Over the centuries, Shulell became the shipping and commercial hub of the system. All imports and exports moved through its spaceports, and The Guild established its headquarters there.

The buildings of the city were a mixture of traditional structures, a few modern structures, and even some cactus hives that were maiuntained by the Qieg, giving the city a ramshackle appearance that belied its industry. This trait was exemplified by the region known as The Grill, where Barellians from all walks of life lived, worked and played side by side. (SWJ1, OWS)

Shulell City
This was another name for the city of Shulell, the capital of the planet Lan Barell. (SWJ1, OWS)

Shulf'aa
This Vernol worked as an art dealer on the planet Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Shulf'aa was approached by the former reporter Den Dhur, who was posing as a police officer in order to gather information regarding the murder of Ves Volette. Shulf'aa had two of Volette's light sculptures in his galleries, and raised their prices substantially after his death. However, the two pieces had been stolen just months earlier, a fact that Shulf'aa had kept from Pol Haus and the real police who were investigating Volette's death. Shulf'aa tried to bribe Den Dhur to keep him quiet, believing that the Sullustan was actually a member of the police force, and gave him the name of Spa Fon as the source of the light sculptures. However, when he learned that Den Dhur was not actually a police investigator, Shulf'aa reported him to the authorities, prompting Pol Haus to bring the matter up with Jax Pavan. (CN2)

Jango Fett claimed several of these bounties when he was on Tatooine, trying to gain an audience with Gardulla and Jabba. (BH)

Shushai
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word meant "sensor." The literal translation was "eye-listening." (OWS)

Shushin, Yag
This Givin male was enslaved by the Witches of Dathomir during the era following the Battle of Naboo. He befriended Quinlan Vos, and helped the Jedi Knight discover the true nature of Zalem and the Witches. Yag then stole one of the Witches' subterine vehicles, only to find himself face to face with Ros Lai. She explained that she needed his help to rescue Quin, and Yag agreed to help. They managed to use the subterine to infiltrate Zalem's camp and retake Vos, who had learned from the Kwa that he was now the guardian of the Star Chamber on Dathomir. Yag was later killed when Quin and Ros Lai tried to follow Vonya inside the Star Chamber. They craft was shot, and Yag was caught in the explosion of the command console. Every bone in his exoskeleton was crushed, and his internal systems failed. His death saved Quin and Ros Lai, though, allowing them to continue their pursuit of Vonya. Quin later avenged Yag's death by killing Vonya. (SWIE)

Shusugaunt
This race of spacefaring warriors was native to a planet of the same name. A short-statured race, the Shusugaunt were encountered by one of the many Anx colonization ships that spread throughout their sector during the millennia before the Clone Wars. The Shusugaunt then tried to take control of the planet Gravlex Med, hoping to wipe out the Anx, but the Shusugaunt were unprepared for Gravlex Med's heavy gravity. Unable to fight without quickly becoming fatigued, the Shusugaunt fled Gravlex Med and left the Anx alone. Note that Star Wars Gamer magazine, issue 7, claims that Shusugaunt was the heavy-gravity world, not Gravlex Med. (UANT, GMR7)

Shusugaunt
This ocean-covered world was the homeworld of an alien race by the same name. Ancient xenobiologists of the Old Republic believed that the planet was also the homeworld of another race, the Anx, a theory that surfaced after the skeletons of several Anx were found in the shallow seas of the planet. It was later learned that the skeletons were from members of an exploration party of Anx that had made a trip of several dozne light-years to explore Shusugaunt, but were killed by the natives. (GMR7)

Shutta
This was a disparaging swear word, used to describe another being who had caused an individual pain and suffering. (SWLB)

Shutter Shield
This form of planetary defense shield doesn't encase a planet in a sphere of energy broken only by fire gaps. Instead, the shutter shield can be opened and closed to allow starships to move through, as well as to fire weapons at orbital targets. Shutter shields were less expensive to power, but were also less effective at keeping an enemy outside as the opening of the shield creates a large hole to fly through. (HAS)

Shuttle 37
The designation of the shuttle Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker used to get on board the Chimaera and rescue Talon Kaarde. (DFR)

Shuttleskimmer
This was a generic term used to describe any transport speeder, often used to move passengers from one spaceport terminal to another. (HSR)

This piece of classical music was probably the best-known piece from the Mon Calamari composer Dembaline. Considered Dembaline's most rousing music, it opened with a flourish before fading into a soft mix of discordant notes. The title, when translated to Basic, was known as Crested Wake. (VP)

Shwpi
This small herbivore was native to the planet Bimmiel. They were fairly abundant, once the planet swung into the closer portion of its elliptical orbit and began to warm up. As plant life re-established itself after winter, the shwpi were roused and began to breed. They were the favored prey of the slashrats, whose voracious appetite kept shwpi population under control. During the winter period of the planet's orbit, the shwpi hibernate until the next warm season. (DTO)

Shwuy Exchange
This minor hyperspace trade route ran between Shwuy and Fakir Sectors. (PP)

Shwuy Perimeter
This was the area of the galaxy located along the Coreward border of Shwuy Sector. (PP)

Shwuy Sector
This area of the galaxy was among the most heavily re-equipped sectors that were controlled by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. (ISB)

Shy Loba
This was a common name among the members of the Yuzzum race. (GORW)

Shy'a
This Mandalorian superlative suffix was used to indicate when something better or more than, as in dralshy'a. (SWI86)

Shyarn
This was the traditional dueling scimitar used by the Cerean race. Its name was derived from an ancient word meaning "dancer", and described the sinuous curve found in the scimitar's blade. Made from metals found only on Cerea, the shyarn was a light weapon that required a certain amount of skill and finesse to wield. The martial art form shyarn-ado evolved to teach Cereans who to fight and defend with a shyarn. The metals in the blade have unique magnetic properties, which added to the skill necessary to use it. When two shyarn blades struck each other, the impact created vibrations which increased its natural magnetic forces, locking the blades together and forcing the wielders to move in intricate steps to free the blades. Strength and control were needed to break the connection without losing possession of the shyarn. (UANT, NEGA)

Shyarn Dancing
This was a complicated form of dance that was based on the martial arts skills required to wield a shyarn sword. Developed by the Cerean race, shyarn dancing was considered among the finest of the dance arts, combining strength, agility, and emotion to create a majestic ballet of weapons skills. (NEGA)

Shyarn-ado
This was the specialized form of swordfighting which was developed by the Cerean people to wield the shyarn scimitar. Usually, a trainee must agree to train with a single master for their entire lifetime, before training can actually begin. This helped to ensure that the availability of shyarn blades was strictly controlled. (UANT)

Shykrill, Cope
This young man was discovered by the ancient Jedi Knights on his homeworld of Sarcophagus, some 500 years before the First Great Schism. Shykrill was discovered by Sar Agorn, who learned of his abilithy to use telekinesis to lower the body of a female Selonian into her grave. The Selonian's mate reported the incident, drawing the attention of the Jedi. When Agorn approached Shykrill's parents, they were more than eager to turn him over to the Jedi for training, a fact that later proved to be important. Upon joining the Jedi training academy, Shykrill established himself as a fast learned and good student, although Jedi Masters such as Nuck Lyu expressed concern about the incredible pace at which he picked up new skills. However, Shykrill was also a good storyteller, and could use his hands to create shadows that accompanied his narrative.

Shykrill found that he could handle the strange, bladed weapon of Nuck Lyu with incredible precision, a fact that worried Master Lyu. Several weeks after Lyu expressed his concerns to Sar Agorn, Shykrill was mixed up in the events that led to the deaths of three other Padawans. Two students were killed by Lyu's bladed weapon, which was wielded by a Nosaurian student who claimed that shadows in his head had made him do it. The Nosaurian then used the weapon on himself, slitting his own throat. When asked to explain what had happened, Shykrill explained that he had been listening to the shadows in quiet times for as long as he could remember, and that he and the shadows had become something akin to brothers. As Master Agorn continued his interview, Master Lyu used his weapon to behead Shykril, in an effort to prevent the young man from causing any more trouble. It was never learned if Shykrill had been possessed, or it he had been studying the Dark Side of the Force.

An investigation later revealed that Shykrill's brother had died three years before he was born, and it was believed that the spirit of this deceased brother might have brought on the shadows that Shykrill spoke of, instilling in the child a demented sort of possession. Many Jedi came to believe that Shykrill had been somehow flawed, and feared that the shadows he communed with were still among the Jedi. (EGF)

Shylar
This Jedi Master was one of many who volunteered to infiltrate the Separatist forces surrounding Count Dooku, during the height of the Clone Wars. After the defection of Sora Bulq, the Jedi Council was dismayed to lose contact with Master Shylar for several months, fearing that she too had defected. However, Dooku saw through Shylar's deception and had her imprisoned and interrogated. Despite her situation, Master Shylar refused to say anything to Count Dooku. She was angry and dismayed when Quinlan Vos appeared at Dooku's side, and Vos himself was dismayed by the fact that he couldn't reveal himself without blowing his cover. When Shylar died during the torture, Vos held himself somewhat responsible. Later, Vos admitted to the Jedi Council that he had had a relationship with Master Shylar, during their training as Padawans. Their relationship was voluntarily ended, so that they could remain true to the Jedi Order. Quinlan spent the rest of the war hoping to atone for what he believed was his part in her death. (J4, RDR, RSOS)

Shynne
This woman was raised in the Citadel Inquisitorius, on the planet Prakith, during the early years of the New Order. She eventually became an Inquisitor herself, and chose the Deep Core as her jursidiction, since her connection to the Dark Side of the Force was strongest in the Deep Core. (PH)

Shyntak
This name was common among members of the T'surr race. (WOTC, UANT)

Shyrack
This vicious creature was native to the Shyrack Caves of Korriban. A natural predatory, the shyrack was the primary rival of tuk'ata. (KOTOR2)

Shyrack Caves
This series of natural caves was found on the planet Korriban. The primary entrance was hidden in the Valley of the Dark Lords, and the cave was named for the population of shyracks that lived within its walls. (KOTOR)

Shyriiwook
This was the name of the Wookiee language known as the 'tongue of the Tree People.' It had a wide range of emotional adjuncts, and was primarily used for trade and travel. Because the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk was covered with dense forests, Shyriiwook provided many different words that translated into a single word in Basic. For instance, Shyriiwook had over 150 words for "wood", depending on grain, moisture content, and underlying structure.

The various sounds used in the Shyriiwook language were roughly grouped into eight categories: grunts, barks, waa-waas, moans, whimpers, trills, snarls, and growls. In general, a given sentence spoken in Shyriiwook was made up of several phrases, each of which had no more than six syllabic sounds.

It was often said that a human could form the words of the Shyriiwook language by opening their mouth and keeping it open, while refraining from using both their tongue and their lips. If a human could utter all sounds from the back of their throat, they had a passing chance of speaking clearly to a Wookiee. (TBH, RD, VD3, GPB)

Shysa, Fenn
It was believed that Fenn Shysa was one of the three surviving Mandalorian Protectors, along with Alpha-02 and Tobbi Dala, from an original group of 212 that were sent into battle by the Separatists during the Clone Wars. Popular rumor held that it was Boba Fett, not Alpha-02, who survived the conflict. Note that The Essential Guide to Characters claims that the two other Mandalorians were Boba Fett and Jodo Kast. Shysa and Dala served under Alpha-02 during the battle, and both returned to Mandalore when the fighting was over. Whatever the truth to these rumors, what was known was that Fenn Shysa organized the natives of Mandalore and got them to fight back against the slavers who had taken control of the planet in their absence, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. One of the beings they captured was the bounty hunter Dengar, just after Tobbi Dala was captured by the slavers. Shysa agreed to a prisoner exchange, but Leia Organa demanded to speak to Dengar. The swap was canceled when Dengar escaped and led the Imperials in Kedalbe to Shysa's base. Fenn infiltrated the slavers' base and rescued Leia and Tobbi Dala, but was unable to protect Dala when the Suprema shot him in the chest. Fenn managed to capture the Suprema, but could not save Dala's life.

Fenn was eventually named Mandalore, and the Mandalorian Protectors once again flourished. He remained in touch with the Alliance, and eventually pledged Mandalore's support to the Alliance of Free Planets. Shysa and his Mandalorians served as part of the ground forces that were part of the New Republic's mission to defeat Lord Shadowspawn at Mindor, where Shysa worked with Lando Calrissian to defeat the Imperial forces on the planet. Unknown to Shysa during this time was the fact that the former Kaminoan cloner, Taun We, had discovered that he was the only surviving Mandalorian from an attack on Kamino during the Clone Wars. She asked Boba Fett to hunt him down to avenge the destruction of her homeworld, and Fett agreed. Despite their differences, Shysa insisted that Fett succeed him as the Mandalore, even as he lay dying. Although his body was left in the Quence Sector by Boba Fett, Shysa was honored as a Mand'alor at a simple plot near Bralsin, in the planet Mandalore. The only marker that identified the site was a small column of granite, atop which his helmet was attached. This marker remained intact throughout the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, as a testament to the durability of the Mandalorian people.

Fett later revealed to Mirta Gev that he had been the one who killed Fenn Shysa on Shogun. He explained that it had been more like a mercy killing than a murder, since they were surrounded and Shysa was already injured. He and Fett both knew that he would not escape from the Sevvets, so Fett killed him in order to carry on the legacy of the Mandalorians. Before Fett carried out the deed, he told Shysa that he would keep his word and return to Mandalore to become the next Mand'alor. (MC68, MC69, EGC, MC99, SWI80, NECH, LF5, LF8, LSSM)

Si
This Gran served as a Commander in the New Republic, and was one of the first base commanders of the Esfandia Long-Range Communications Base. It was Commander Si who discovered that the Brrbrlpp were sentient, and devised a form of trinary machine language which the Brrbrlpp could use to communicate with the base. (FH3)

SI 5G7 "Quickscan"
This was the designation of the vector imaging crosshair targeting system used on the Y-Wing starfighter during the height of the New Order. (SCRE, TSC)

SI 5g8 "Quickscan"
This starfighter vector imaging system was part of the target tracking system used on the Z-95 Headhunter. (TSC)

SI-78
This group of Imperial cargo containers was assigned to the NL-1 deep-space platform, during the weeks that followed the Battle of Hoth. (TIEP)

SI-79
This group of Imperial cargo containers was assigned to the NL-1 deep-space platform, during the weeks that followed the Battle of Hoth. (TIEP)

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

Siak-series Protocol Droid
Developed and manufactured by Roche Industries, the Siak-series of protocol droids was the first real commercial success the Verpines had during the New Order. More human in shape than the J9 worker drone, the Siak incorporated the technological advances of the TranLang IV communications module. (FTD)

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

Sian
This name was common among Sullustan males, and meant "inventive". (GCG)

Siang Lance
This was the traditional weapon of the Kilian Rangers, and served as a form of badge of office and symbol of their loyalty to Kilia IV. The lance was essentially an ancient sporting blaster rifle, to which was attached a long bayonet. High-ranking Kilian Rangers learned to imbue the Force into their lance, giving it enhanced power and accuracy. (RESB)

Siao, Riao
This young, female Felacatian was in love with Reymet Autem, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Riao's parents died shortly after the family's arrival on Coruscant, and Riao had to struggle to make her own way. She was often ill, as much a result of being away from her homeworld as living in the lower levels of Coruscant. Reymet spent much of his free time participating in the garbage pit races in the Wicko District, hoping to make enough credits to book passage for her back to Felacat. Their prayers for passage offplanet were answered when Reymet's uncle, Venco Autem, arranged for passage in return for Sagoro Autem's authorization codes. Despite the fact that Reymet's actions nearly led to the death of Senator Simon Greyshade, Sagoro allowed Reymet and Riao to leave Coruscant and return to Felacat. (RHD)

Sibarra
This Hutt was the brains and the funding behind Ace Entertainment Corporation and the Ace of Sabres casino. A demented Hutt with cybernetic replacements for his right arm and right eye, Sibarra was outcast from mainstream Hutt society. From that point on, he hated all other Hutts, and went out of his way to harass them in business ventures. Many believed that the only reason Sibarra was still alive during the height of the New Order was because of the skills of Dunan Par'Ell, who managed the security of the Ace of Sabres. Sibarra used the Ace enterprise to cover his more illegal activities, and he also curried favors from his high-powered guests in return for small wins at the games. Sibarra also sold the less-fortunate losers at the Ace to Aubro Ahntanda. (WSV)

Sibble
This was a common name among the Kushiban race. (UANT)

Sibha Habadeet
This collective was one of the Alliance's major suppliers of micrel equipment, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. They specialized in the manufacture of bioelectronic power supplies, like the one which powered Luke Skywalker's cybernetic hand prosthesis. (HTTE)

Sibisime
A planet. (GMR10)

Sibiu
One of Munto Codru's younger, less experienced families. (CS)

Sibwarra
This was the name given to the captured Shree-class Ssi-ruuvi warship, the Shriwirr, in the wake of the Battle of Bakura. The New Republic refitted the ship for humanoid operation, and sent it into the Ssi-ruuvi star cluster to reconnoiter the threat the aliens posed to the fledgling Republic. The New Republic discovered that the Ssi-ruu had been attacked by a force of Chiss from the Unknown Regions, and that the aliens were all by defeated. (TB, ECH)

Sibwarra, Dev
A human forced to work for the Ssi-ruuvi during their invasion of Bakura, Dev was a small boy born to Force-sensitive parents. His mother, Ydra Kilwallen Sibwarra, had just begun Jedi training on Chandrila when the Emperor ordered the Jedi purged from existence. The fled to the planet G'rho, but they arrived just before the Ssi-ruuk overtook the planet. The alien invaders captured the curious lad, and brought him to their own homeworld for five years of conditioning. After that, Dev became a spokeman for the Ssi-ruu race in their quest to entech human minds. The Ssi-ruuk brought Dev with them to Bakura, and hoped he would ease the struggle to entech its human inhabitants. However, Dev's Force-sensitive mind was discovered by Luke Skywalker, who helped Dev overcome the Ssi-ruuvi conditioning and shrug off their renewals. Dev came back to the world of humans following the defeat of the Ssi-ruuk, but he sustained mortal injuries and died at Bakura. (TB, TBSB)

Sibwarra, Ydra Kilwallen
This woman was an apprentice Jedi at the rise of the New Order, and was forced to flee her homeworld of Chandrila in the wake of the Clone Wars. She hoped to avoid Emperor Palpatine's Jedi Purge, and to save her family, which included a young son named Dev. They decided to settle on the Chandrilan colony world of G'rho. Later, Ydra was killed when the Ssi-ruuk first invaded G'rho. (TBSB, SWI84)

Sickener
This was the name of one of the most disgusting trainined facilities established for the training of cloned soldiers on the planet Kamino, during the build-up to the Battle of Geonosis and the Clone Wars. The Sickener was named because the facility was basically a huge field of trenches, each of which was filled with the entrails of dead animals and other decaying matter. The clones were forced to crawl, wade, or slither through the Sickener, as part of a training regimen designed to ensure they didn't falter in actual combat. The instructors who drove their soldiers through the Sickener constantly reminded the soldiers that it was nothing compared to what they would encounted on an actual battlefield. Kal Skirata earned the trust and respect of the clone commandos he trained by going through the Sickener first, proving that he wouldn't put his clones through any hardship that he wasn't willing to endure himself. (RCHC, RCTZ)

Sickhealers
This caste of Bosph was made up of those individuals which excelled at tapping into the Force to help heal others. (SWJ13)

Sickle Rasp
This species of rasp was native to the moon of Rori. It was named for its sickle-like beak, and was known to deliver a mild poison when it attacked its prey. (GQRG)

Sickle-back Mantis
This predatory insect, native to the planet Dantooine, was known for its intense mating rituals. During the ritual, the red-and-black insects court each other. However, once mating was successful, the female mantis tore the head off her mate and laid her eggs in his carcass. The young mantises then ate their way out of his body, attacking each other to gain their freedom. (YDR)

Sickly Tremor
This slave ship was believed to have been lost on the Forest Moon of Endor, some 1,100 years before the Battle of Yavin. Its owner, the slavemaster Zephyrus, left Ovise III after having the ship refitted with huge cages. Zephyrus claimed to have found a race of beings that could lift a speeder with one hand, and planned to capture and sell them. However, Zephyrus and the Sickly Tremor were never seen again. Many xenobiologists believed that Zephyrus was forced to set down on the Forest Moon of Endor, and that his living cargo evolved into the Phlogs that came to inhabit the moon. (OWS)

Sicko
This was the nickname of the clone trooper pilot designated CT-1127/549, who piloted TIV Z590/1 during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Sicko was transporting the Omega Squad of clone commandos to an ambush of a Separtist vessel in the Tynnan Sector, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis, when they were caught off-guard by the appearance of a civilian ship that matched the description of the vessel they were searching for. Thus, while ascertaining that the first ship they encountered was indeed a civilian vessel, Sicko was unable to prevent the Separatist ship from identifying TIV X590/1 as a Republic interdiction vessel. The civilian vessel, the Nova Crystal, fired on the TIV and disabled it, believing it to be a pirate vessel. In the brief firefight that ensued, Sicko was able to disable the Separatist vessel and dock with it, allowing the Omega Squad commandos to board it. However, Separatist reinforcements arrived shortly afterward, and destroyed the TIV Z590/1, while Omega Squad was stranded aboard the other vessel. Although the wreckage of the TIV Z590/1 was eventually recovered by Republic forces, Sicko was killed in the attack. (RCTZ)

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

Sic-Six
An intelligent race of arachnids from the planet Sisk, these black aliens have hard outer shells, eight eyes, and eight 6-jointed legs. They were a highly anitsocial race, and have been unable to form a coherent government or any form of industrialization. However, they do have an advanced technology (which they consider to be better than anyone else's), and use it to capture their prey. The poison used in the Sic-six' fangs, while deadly to other members of its species and other creatures native to Sisk, was valued throughout the galaxy as an intoxicant by other races. They were descended from a race of web-lingerers which simply lunged around waiting for prey to become entangled. However, as the star Sisk collapsed and cooled their homeworld, the Sic-Six were forced to begin foraging for food. Eventually, they became the intelligent, sophisticated hunters they were today. (GG4, CCG7)

Sic-Six-Layer Cake
This was one of the signature cakes that were found on the menu of Dex's Diner, on the planet Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. The recipe came from the planet Sisk, and required that the individual layers of the cake be colored so that they excited the visual senses in all spectrums of light, not just the visible spectrum. Thus, the moist cake layers had colors that were only visible by species that could see in infrared and ultraviolet light. (OWS)

Sictis Wars
This was the name given to a series of conflicts that occurred between 1,250 and 1,230 years before the Battle of Yavin, during the era of the New Sith Wars. It was during these wars that Sith Lord Belia Darzu unleashed huge numbers of technobeasts on the galaxy, leaving death and destruction in their path. Although the technobeasts and Darzu were ultimately defeated, despite the fact that a Jedi Knight became infected with a technovirus. This Jedi was able to retain their identity through intense concentration on the Light Side of the Force, and became known as the "technobeast Jedi." (NEGD)

Sid Te', Berren
This man, a native of the city of Fabrillan, was the leader of the Alliance sleeper cell known only as V-16. He lived most of his life as a lowly street urchin, but ued his standing to create a massive network of unknowning spies and informants. Sid, as he was known to his associates, detested the Imperial presence in Fabrillan. He had seen firsthand that the Empire despised entrepreneurs and individuals, and worked to provide any information he could to the Alliance. For all appearances, though, Sid seemed to be an enterprising street vendor with a large network of salesbeings. (CRO)

Sidbam, Teak
This Aquala Aqualish was working as a repossession agent, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. He was often mistaken for Ponda Baba, despite the obvious difference in their hands. Compounding the mistake, Teak Sidbam was often seen in the same places Ponda Baba frequented, since many of Sidbam's collections were from criminals and other beings who couldn't pay their bills. (CVD)

Sidereal Period
This was one of the handful of calendar re-synchronizations that took place during the 25,000-year history of the Old Republic. The exact reason for the shift to the Sidereal Period calendar were lost over time, and only a handful of ancient computer systems actually remembered the dating scheme and used it on a regular basis. What was known was that the Sidereal Period calendar was instituted 5,689 years before the Battle of Yavin. This calendar system was abandoned in the wake of the Great Re-Synchronization. (CSWEA, LAT1, OWS)

Siderider
Developed by Chop Harlison, this unusual swoop racer was based on the standard Nebulon-Q swoop chassis. The main difference was the addition of a sidecar, which most corporate swoop producers believed would always overturn a standard swoop. Chop Harlison added a large wing on the opposite side of the swoop, counterbalancing the sidecar with the help of gravity compensators. The working prototype of the Siderider was also armed with a pair of blaster cannons. (SWJ6)

SideThink
This slang term was used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe the desired mindset for a member of the Special Operations team. In general, it described a combination of opportunism, careful planning, and deadly efficiency, all of which was mixed with mindless recklessness and pure cockiness. (GG9)

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

Sidewa
This female Rodian was a frequent patron of Dex's Diner, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. She was often seen in the company of her friend, Honka. (OWS)

Sid'han
Known as a mud crawler, this large reptile was native to the planet Seikosha. Resembling a small-headed crocodile, the Sid'Han were vicious predators which were capable of taking down multiple victims at once. They burrowed in the mud, sensing their prey's approaching footsteps by vibrations. When the prey was close enough, the Sid'Han lashed out with its tail, wrapped the prey before inflicting terrible wounds with its toothy jaws. They can grow to be 10 meters in length. (POC)

Sidi Driss Inn
This was one of the most luxurious hotels found in the city of Anchorhead, on the planet Tatooine, during the early years of the New Republic. During the last decades of the Old Republic, the Sidi Driss was a simple moisture farm, until Dama and her newly-married husband decided to transform it into an inn. Over the years, the Sidi Driss became quite elegant, and catered to all sorts of beings. The Hutts who used to control much of Tatooine's criminal operation seven had a special wing set aside for their use. Note that this hotel was named for the actual Sidi Driss Hotel, located in Tunisia, which served as the location for shooting the Lars homestead during the making of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. (TG)

Sidi Gourd
This unusual gourd, distinguished by its pinecone-like shape, was grown as a food source by hydroponic gardners on the planet Tatooine. (CVD)

Sidious, Darth
This Dark Lord of the Sith was the driving force behind the Trade Federation, during the time it tried to subjugate the world of Naboo, and was generally regarded by historians as the greatest Sith Lord ever known. In the guise of his alter ego, Palpatine, he had control of specific elements of the Galactic Senate, and with the assistance of some 200 years of preparation by previous Masters - including his own mentor, Darth Plagueis - put in motion an intricate set of schemes to take control of the galaxy. Sidious had trained his apprentice, Darth Maul, and was ready to bring his plans to fruition when Chancellor Valorum dispatched two Jedi Knights to Naboo to negotiate a settlement. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi thwarted his initial plans, and forced him to send Darth Maul after the pair. Meanwhile, Sidious continued to manipulate the Neimoidians, pushing the situation at Naboo as far as he could. When Queen Amidala returned to Naboo to deal with the situation herself, Sidious saw his carefully laid plans fall apart as the Neimoidians were defeated and the planet freed of its blockade, and Darth Maul was killed in battle by Obi-Wan Kenobi.

However, Sidious was never worried about these events, as he had several contingency plans. Among these plans was the recruiting of Count Dooku to serve as his new apprentice. Dooku, known as Darth Tyranus to the Sith, arranged to manipulate large numbers of star systems to secede from the Old Republic under the guise of the Separatist movement. Tryanus also began working with the major business guilds - such as the Commerce Guild and the Trade Federation - to re-establish a droid-based war machine. When the Battle of Geonosis was completed, the most important of Darth Sidious' plans had come to fruition: the acceptance of a huge army of clone troopers by the Old Republic miltary. The onset of the Clone Wars allowed Sidious' alter ego - Chancellor Palpatine himself - to gain unprecedented control over both the Galactic Senate and the Grand Army of the Republic. During the prelude to the Battle of Geonosis, Count Dooku was even so bold as to tell Obi-Wan Kenobi that the galaxy was under the control of a Sith Lord, but Obi-Wan refused to believe it. Despite his own beliefs, Obi-Wan brought this revelation back to the Jedi Council. The possibility of Sidious' existence served to divide the attention of the Jedi Order, pulling it further apart. Some members felt that Sidious was a real threat, while others believed that Darth Sidious was Count Dooku's alias. Obi-Wan's evidence of Darth Sidious' existence was borne out nearly three years later, when Nute Gunray's mechno-chair was captured on Cato Neimoidia. Recordings of the Neimoidian's conversations with Darth Sidious explained many of the Dark Lord's machinations.

The Jedi began an intense search for Sidious, starting with the craftsbeings who devised the mechno-chair's systems, and leading them to an abandoned building in The Works district of Coruscant. However, the investigation was cut short when Coruscant was attacked by General Grievous, allowing Sidious to "escape" momentarily. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Palpatine revealed himself to be Darth Sidious to Anakin Skywalker, after drawing the young Jedi into his schemes as his apprentice, Darth Vader. Later, Mace Windu arrived with three other Jedi Masters to arrest Palpatine. Sidious was finally able to fully reveal himself, and cut down Windu's deputies before confronting the Jedi Master himself. They were evenly matched for a short time, until Windu managed to deflect Sidious' lightsaber and corner him. Anakin arrived at this time, defying Master Windu's orders to remain at the Jedi Temple, and tried to stop Windu from killing Palpatine outright. When Windu hesitated, Sidious unleashed a horrific blast of Force lighting, which Windu blocked with his lightsaber. The reflected energy hit Sidious full in the face, causing an unusual transformation. All of Sidious' corruption and evil boiled over, filling his Force lightning with incredible power that transformed his face from that of a calm politician to that of his true self: an old, twisted, evil being who had been fully consumed by the Dark Side of the Force. After the so-called Jedi Rebellion, Palpatine assumed control of the entire galaxy, combining his two personae into the role of Emperor. He could then shed the ancient magicks he used to maintain his politician guide, claiming that the disfigurment had come at the hands of Mace Windu.

Despite the success of his plans, Sidious did not reveal himself as a Sith Lord to the rest of the galaxy. He maintained the guise of Chancellor Palpatine, although he assumed the title of Emperor after reforming the Galactic Republic into the first Galactic Empire. In order to ensure that his rule lasted forever, Darth Sidious appropriated a number of Sith artifacts and processes, as well as several different cloning technologies. By transferring his spirit from clone to clone, Sidious hoped to circumvent death. These plans were put into effect in the wake of the Battle of Endor, when his primary body was destroyed by his apprentice, Darth Vader. Vader killed his Master after watching Sidious use Force lightning in an attempt to kill Vader's son, Luke Skywalker. Vader threw Sidious' body into the reactor core of the second Death Star, which was later destroyed.

Sidious was unprepared for this death, and had not yet built up the strength needed to transport his spirit across vast distances. This spirit spent many months locating Sidious' hidden base on Byss, but was eventually able to enter and take over one of Sidious' many clones. When the location of this base on Byss was discovered by Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa Solo six years later, Sidious realized that he had another opportunity to achieve immortality. He tried to move his spirit into the unborn body of Anakin Solo, but was unable to do so before his clone was killed by Empatajayos Brand. Brand called upon the Force, and was consumed by it as he utterly destroyed Sidious's spirit. (E1, E2, LEV, GC, SWI83, SWMW, EGF, CWWS)

Si-Di-Ri
This gold-scaled Tiss'shar was the president of the planetary government of Tiss'sharl, during the height of the New Order. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Si-Di-Ri was faced with several assassination attempts, all of which he managed to survive. The loss of the first Death Star meant trouble for Si-Di-Ri and his people, since the Empire had recognized the threat of the Alliance and was doing everything it could to react. Among the many changes was the price that was paid for Tiss'shar-built blaster cartridges, which were sold to TaggeCo for manufacture. When Darth Vader arrived to introduce Commander Demmings as the new Imperial Moff of the system, Si-Di-Ri was surprised when the Dark Lord ordered that Tiss'sharl blaster cartridges be made available to the Empire at a reduced cost, but that Si-Di-Ri himself was not to be harmed because of the situation. This warning went largely unheeded, as Si-Di-Ri survived another assassination attempt the same night. Unknown to most of his fellow Tiss'shar, however, was Si-Di-Ri's relationship to the Alliance. Through Senator Timi Rotramel, Si-Di-Ri had been secretly supplying Tiss'sharl technology to the fledgling Alliance, although he was unsure that they could actually defeat the Empire. His fears were confirmed when Vader interrupted his discussion with Rotramel, and killed the Senator before he could defend himself. It was then that Vader revealed he had been using Si-Di-Ri as a pawn in the larger game of flushing out the rebellious Senators. In return for Si-Di-Ri's "assistance," Vader allowed him to live, and rescinded the latest price change for Tiss'sharl's blaster cartridges, in recognition of Si-Di-Ri's continued loyalty to the Empire. Si-Di-Ri, however, could not maintain the ruse of loyalty, and resigned from the Tiss'sharl League as soon as Vader had left the planet. (SWEPP)

Sidral II
This Alliance freighter was used to transport war materiel to a hidden stockpile, during prepartions for the assault on the first Death Star. It was attacked by Imperial forces while taking on military equipment from the corvette Frazier, but a group of starfighter pilots from the flagship Independence was able to protect the ships and drive off the Imperials. (XW, XWP)

Sidras, Mael
This Old Republic Senator who somewhat outspoken in his opposition to the New Order. Sidras was assassinated while vacationing aboard the Savage Pleasure, an action which resulted in the deaths of many other passengers. (CRO)

Sidrek Megapede
This many-legged insect was distinguished by the spines that protected its shell. (DIV)

Sieben, Peet
This ancient Jal Shey philosopher was noted for his belief that war brought out the worst and the best in beings throughout the galaxy. According to Mentor Sieben, war was required for any being who wanted to achieve a more enlightened state, because the shedding of blood brought out courage, sacrifice, comradeship, and genius. It even evoked humor and tenacity, and instilled a sense of resourcefulness that was not present during times of peace. (CWN)

Siege Incident Control
This was a joint mission of the Grand Army of the Republic's Special Operations Brigade and the Coruscant Security Force, formed to combat the rising amount of terrorism that occurred on Coruscant during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Separatist-backed terrorists started bombing military locations across the cityscape of Coruscant, although several attacks killed as many civilians as they did clone troopers. The SIC team was eventually forced to take a supporting role when Kal Skirata was given command of Delta and Omega Squads, and the clone commandos were sent in to take control of the situation. (RCTZ)

Siege of Dalron 5
When the Empire decided that it wanted to subjugate the planet Dalron 5, it laid siege to the planet using techniques developed by Jan Dodonna. The Empire was able to overtake the planet, dishoming its people. (MTS)

Siege of Kal'Shebbol
This was the name given to the New Republic's assault on the planet Kal'Shebbol, some four years after the Battle of Endor. The New Republic's goal was to bring down Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne, but Sarne managed to escape and fled to Kathol. (E)

Siege of Kyrska
This intensely-fought, three-month struggle took place during the Galactic Civil War. It involved several house-to-house campaigns. (ROE)

Siege of Saleucami
This was the term used by historians to describe the five-month-long battle between the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Old Republic, during the final months of the Clone Wars, for control of the planet Saleucami. The Jedi Order had discovered that Sora Bulq and Rath Kelkko had begun creating clones for a "shadow army" from the genetic material of Bok, a Morgukai Warrior of great renown. This shadow army was trained by the Anzati in the ways of stealth and assassination, and was deemed too dangerous to develop by the Jedi Council and Chancellor Palpatine. The Republic's forces were led by Jedi Masters Oppo Rancisis and Quinlan Vos, but accomplished little more than preventing the cloned Morgukai from leaving the planet. Many historians pointed to the Siege of Saleucami as the opening volley in the Outer Rim Sieges. (RSOS, NECH)

Sien
This name was common among Sullustan males, and meant "ingenious". (GCG)

Sien, Shan
This was a noted Gossam individual, distinguished in the history of the planet Castell. (UANT)

Sienar, Narro
This man was the father of Raith Sienar, and was the chief executive officer of Sienar Technologies before he was killed in a explosion aboard a family starship near Dantooine, some time before the onset of the Clone Wars. Before his death, Narro Sienar entered in a unique collaboration with designers from the Corellian Engineering Corporation, a partnership that produced the YT-1300 series of light freighters. The explosion that took Narro's life was caused by a group of mercenaries who had been hired by the Xi Charians to eliminate Raith. Raith managed to escape before their ship blew up, but Narro did not survive. The board of directors of Sienar Technologies, upon learning of the ambush and Narro's death, turned over full control of Sienar Technologies to Raith. (NEGC, LEV, MF)

Sienar, Raith
This man was the founder of Sienar Design Systems, and the designer of the basic courier ship which eventually became the Infiltrator. He was born around the same time as Wilhuff Tarkin, and the two grew up as friends within the complex social structure of the planet Coruscant. Raith was the son of Narro Sienar, and was part of a long line of industrialists who could trace their roots back to the warship producers of Empress Teta's Unification Wars. He was trained at the Rigovian Technical University, and his skills with starship design and construction were well-known, and Sienar ships were in high demand. In fact, it was one of Sienar's designs - the Expeditionary Battle Planetoid - which Tarkin eventually stole and claimed as his own which became the first Death Star. Sienar spent a considerable future buying 2,112 failed designs of his competitors, looking for new ideas which failed for simple reasons which could be adjusted to his own uses. In their early thirties, Tarkin convinced Sienar to join him in an attempt to take control of the planet Zonama Sekot. Tarkin hoped to gather one of the unusual Sekotan starships, but he also hoped to eliminate Sienar and gain favor with Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. He appointed Sienar a Commander, and gave him a small fleet led by the Admiral Korvin. Tarkin also assigned Ke Daiv as Sienar's assistant, a move which told Sienar he would be expendable if the mission failed. Until the end, though, Sienar was unaware that he was already expendable. He convinced the Blood Carver that Tarkin was only working for the good of humankind, and was able to turn Ke Daiv away from his assassination attempt. In the end, Ke Daiv was unable to recover a Sekotan starship, and Tarking decided to attack Zonama Sekot and take control of it himself. Sienar struggled against Tarkin's plans, until the planet disappeared into hyperspace. Both Tarkin and Sienar were disgraced in the eyes of Palpatine, but both worked to turn the loss to their own advantage. Years later, Raith developed the basic outline of the T.I.E. starfighter, which became the design basis for the TIE fighter and its follow-on fighters. Unfortunately for Raith, his success created many jealous rivals, and it was believed that one of these rivals arranged for Raith's assassination during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (X1, RP, NEGC)

Sienar Advanced Projects Laboratories
This division of Sienar Design Systems created many experimental prototypes during the last decades of the Old Republic, including the Infiltrator craft used by Darth Maul. Many credit the Advanced Projects team with the earliest advancements in the use of contained hypermatter, which eventually led to the immense power core of the Death Stars. (X1, RP)

Sienar Army Systems
This brand-name used by Santhe/Sienar Technologies was introduced following the Battle of Endor. Lady Valles Santhe created this division to help redeem her name in the eyes of Imperial supporters. (EGV, NEGC)

Sienar Corporation
New name of Santhe/Seinar Technologies, after the fall of the cloned Emperor Palpatine on Byss. (COJ)

Sienar Design Systems
This early brainchild of Raith Sienar was an internal workshop of Sienar Technologies, and eventually became Sienar Fleet Systems. SDS was known for its one-of-a-kind designs and secret projects, which were developed in the Advanced Projects Laboratory. Note that The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology indicates that SDS was a subsidiary of Republic Sienar Systems. (X1, NEGC, NEGW)

Sienar Fleet Systems
A division of Santhe/Seinar Technologies and once known as Republic Seinar Systems, they were the builders of the TIE family of starfighters, Interdictor-class Cruisers, and other Imperial war machines. They have the reputation of being one of the most dominant starfighter manufacturer, and their designs have become wildly successful since the advent of the New Order. (E4, SWSB, EGV)

Sienar Intelligence Systems
This subsidiary of Santhe/Sienar Technologies was developed during the early years of the New Order to provide droid programming for the Empire. It worked with smaller corporations, like LesTech, to ensure that Imperial automata were given similar personalities, skills, and traits. (FOP)

Sienar Patrol Ships
This was a form of patrol craft produced by Sienar Fleet Systems, during the years following the Battle of Endor. (DFR)

Sienar Refinery
This was the name given to the immense refinery and reclamation facility established on Raxus Prime by Sienar Fleet Systems, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Note that the Star Wars Databank provides the Sienar Fleet Systems reference, placing its formation from the old Republic Sienar Systems many years before the institution of the New Order. Scientists at the Sienar Refinery discovered that the sewers of Raxus Prime were constructed to help sweep away waste many thousands of years before the Battle of Geonosis, indicating that the planet had been a toxic wasteland for many generations. (WOTC)

Sienar Ships
This was the civilian branch of Sienar Fleet Systems, and produced many freighter and transport ship designs. (CRO)

Sienar Technologies
This corporation took control of the industrial world of Lianna about 100 years before the Battle of Yavin. Sienar Technologies was the latest in a series of corporations headed by the Sienar family, which traced its roots back to the designers of the warships used by Empress Teta during the Unification Wars. When Emperor Palpatine took control of the galaxy, he nationalized Sienar Technologies and renamed it Sienar Fleet Systems. Shortly afterward, Kerred Santhe purchased controlling interest in Sienar and renamed it Santhe/Sienar Technologies. (ML, NEGC)

Sienn
This Twi'leki female, a member of the Rha clan, was abducted by Bib Fortuna and sent to the best dancing schools in preparation for her presentation to Jabba the Hutt. Sienn was younger than her companion, Oola, and Fortuna's instructors had cultivated the image that Sienn was young and vulnerable. Her lekku were tattooed with floral patterns just before she landed on Tatooine. Once there, Sienn and Oola were approached by Luke Skywalker, who offered to rescue them from Jabba. While Oola couldn't make herself leave, Sienn escaped with Luke. (TJP, KT)

Sienn
This was a common name given to Twi'lek females, and meant "maiden" in the Twi'leki language. (GCG)

Sien'Soro
This band was popular during the height of the Clone Wars. Their transport convoy once ran into a Separatist blockade, and escaped only after Jedi Master Darrus Jeht arrived on the scene. The band was indebted to him, and was able to provide him with tickets to several upcoming shows. Jeht used the tickets to bring his fellow Jedi, Aayla Secura and Trilinae, to one of their concerts. (LFCW)

Siep-Irol
This corporation manufactured passive sensor arrays for starships and ground-based sensor systems, during the height of the New Order. (SCRE, RASB)

Siesi, Boulo
This Bith was living in the settlement of Wayfar, on Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

SIE-TIE Engine
Developed by Sienar Advanced Systems and overseen by Republic Sienar Systems, this groundbreaking starship ion drive system was the forerunner of the modern twin ion engine system used on Imperial TIE fighters. Designed by Raith Sienar, the SIE-TIE system employed microparticle accelerators to agitate ionized gasses to relativistic velocities. One of the key features of the SIE-TIE was the fact that it had independently articulated ion stream deflector manifolds for pinpoint maneuvering accuracy. Like the modern TIE fighters, the SIE-TIE drew power from onboard solar panels. (HNN5)

Siev, Sien
This New Republic Councilor was part of the new breed of intermediaries created after Ponc Gavrisom was named President. Siev was also a historical expert, with a vast knowledge of Imperial history. (SOP)

Sif
This gang of Rodians caused trouble on the planet Talus during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Sif, Doak
This Corellian man and his brother, Hirsch, were combat veterans of a mercenary gang that was active during the early years of the New Order. When the Empire began to extend its power, the Sif brothers "retired" to Talus, where they established their own mercenary crew of Trandoshans. (SWGAL)

Sif, Erran
This Corellian woman was believed to have once been an Imperial spy, active during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Her primary role was to infiltrate the Alliance and report back on any information that might be useful. Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, it was learned that Erran was actually working for the Hutts, stealing information from both the Alliance and the Empire. She fled Corellia and went into hiding on Talus, where she was protected by her two brothers, Hirsch and Doak. (SWGAL)

Sif, Hirsch
This Corellian man and his brother, Doak, were combat veterans of a mercenary gang that was active during the early years of the New Order. When the Empire began to extend its power, the Sif brothers "retired" to Talus, where they established their own mercenary crew of Trandoshans. (SWGAL)

Sif'kric
This planet, the primary world in the Sif'kric System, was the home of the Sif'krie race. (SOP, VOF)

Sif'krie
This alien race was native to the planet Sif'kric. They were involved in a feud with the Frezhlix which began shortly after the Battle of Endor and lasted for thext fifteen years. It flared up after the revelation of the Caamas Document, when the Sif'krie supported the Drashtine Intiative and blocked the Frezhlix Senator from voting against it. (SOP, VOF)

Sifo-Dyas
It was believed that this being - a Jedi Knight of small renown - placed the first order for the cloned soldiers developed by the Kaminoans for the Army of the Republic. The order was placed around the time of the Battle of Naboo, directly to Lama Su himself, despite the fact that Master Sifo-Dyas was supposedly dead at that time. The Kaminoans believed that Master Sifo-Dyas hand-picked Jango Fett to serve as the genetic basis for the clone army, admiring his bounty hunting skills, discpline, and incredible attention to details. Yoda later revealed to Obi-Wan Kenobi that Master Sifo-Dyas had, in fact, placed the order for the clone army, but he may have been under Dooku's inlfuence at the time.

Sifo-Dyas had foreseen the disenchantment of both Qui-Gon Jinn and his Master, Count Dooku, and realized that the Old Republic was going to experience a period of conflict. He had also seen the Jedi Order retreat within itself, becoming self-absorbed with its own neutrality. Sifo-Dyas became one of Dooku's closest friends, and Dooku's plans were something that he agreed with, but couldn't act upon. In secret, however, and without the consent of the Jedi Council, Master Sifo-Dyas traveled to Kamino to order the clones. An later investigation on Kamino revealed more about Sifo-Dyas' plans, including physical evidence of his presence on the planet. Unfortunately, these investigations also led to the discovery that Count Dooku had murdered Sifo-Dyas shortly after the initial order was placed, allowing Dooku to choose the clone template: Jango Fett.

Further research revealed that Dooku had been ordered to kill Sifo-Dyas as part of his training under Darth Sidious, as a final test of his loyalty. The fallen Jedi Master's body was cryogenically frozen in order to remove evidence of Dooku's treachery. Dooku took Sifo-Dyas' lightsaber as evidence of his victory, and later presented the weapon to General Grievous. It was believed that a portion of Sifo-Dyas' own blood was used to keep Grievous alive, after his transformation into a cyborg, and that his blood may have helped the former Kaleesh develop his skills in lightsaber combat. (TCG1, E2, E2N, LEV, SWI86, VIS, EGF)

Sifter
This was a form of starship sensor system that could analyze interstellar communications and identify specific transmissions, using keyword searches, voice recognition, or any number of other parameters. These devices were often found on the starships owned by bounty hunters. (JB)

Sifu
This term, from the language of the Sunesi people, translated loosely into Basic as the verb "to heal." (SWJ10, OWS)

Sightline
This was the brand name of Incom's IN-344-B holographic targeting computer system. (SCRE, EGW)

Sigil
This Lorrdian woman was one of the many members of the Sisterhood of the Glorious Radiance, during the years that followed the end of the Clone Wars. Sister Sigil met with Mammon Hoole and his adoptive niece and nephew, Tash and Zak Arranda, when they visited the planet Lorrd, during the Galactic Civil War. After explaining about the history of the Sisterhood, Sister Sigil explained that she was ready to honor her commitment to the mother goddess Via and do whatever should could to overthrow the Galactic Empire, just as her ancestors had struggled to defeat the Myrialites. However, the Arranda children later discovered that Sister Sigil was not a real being, but was actually an alias adopted by the Imperial spy known as Diamond. By adopting the guise of Sister Sigil, Agent Diamond was able to infiltrate the growing resistance on Lorrd, which allowed her to obtain detailed recordings and information about the rebels on the planet. (OWS)

Sigil
This was one of the many crystals used by the ancient Jedi Knights in the construction of a lightsaber. It was believed to have given the wielder the ability to cause more energy damage to an opponent. It was mined solely in the Sigil System. (KOTOR)

Sigil System
This star system was believed to have been the only source of sigil crystals, which could used by the ancient Jedi Knights in the construction of a lightsaber. (KOTOR)

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

Sigma-class Shuttle
This starship design was developed and manufactured by Koensayr during the early years of the New Order. The Sigma-class shuttle measured 21.6 meters in length, and could carry up to eight passengers and 100 metric tons of cargo. It required a pilot and co-pilot to operate, as well as a pair of gunners. The Sigma-class shuttle was eventually replaced by the more powerful Lambda-class shuttle. It was armed with a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons. (AIR)

Sign of the Tri-Forked Tongue
This seedy tavern was located in the underworld of the planet Coruscant, during the last years of the Old Republic. It was one of several businesses run by Hat Lo by himself, funded by profits he had skimmed from his agreements with the Hutts. The entrance to the tavern was denoted with a virtual-reality image of a huge monga serpent, its mouth open to reveal its three tongues. (BF6)

Signal Operating Instruction
This was a specialized datapad created by the military forces of the Old Republic, designed to carry all the current signs and countersigns used in combat. The datapad was updated each month, and loaded with the identification codes for every day of the month. All dates were cross-referenced to the date on Coruscant, so that each force with a datapad knew what day's codes to use. (JT)

Signal Your Surrender
This was the trademark song played by the band called Boss Code. (WSV)

Signaler
This subnode was generated by Kud'ar Mub'at to provide incoming ships with external information on where to land on the web. A snakelike subassembly, Signaler encircled the section of Mub'ats web set aside for starship docking, and had just enough intelligence to guide incoming ships to their berths. (MA)

Signature
Produced by Paradour Enterprises, this scent synthesizer was developed to allow the user to create his or her own unique perfumes and scents, using thousands of stock fragrances as a base. (GFT)

Signos, Dunir

This young Bothan male was a student of astrogation at Garqi Ag University shortly after the Battle of Endor. He was a member of the resistance there, working with Dynba Tesc to throw off the Imperial yoke. (TFE, SWJ7)

Sik, Kahleeko
This Kadas'sa'Nikto was a known criminal who moved around with a gang of Klatooinan and Nikto thugs during the years following the Battle of Naboo. An anonymous individual placed a bounty on his head, after Kahleeko Sik extorted a huge sum of credits. The bounty specified that Kahleeko Sik was to be brought in dead, a stipulation that Jango Fett was only too willing to oblige. Fett managed to claim the bounty during his own search for Jervis Gloom. (BH)

Sika
This planet was located in the Expansion Region of the galaxy. During the height of the Corellia-GA War, Sika was invaded by the Chekut, in what was one of the many so-called "opportunistic wars" that sprang up. The Sikan government appealed to the Galactic Alliance for assistance, and many feared that the invasion was just the beginning of a larger conflict in the Expansion Region. (LF5)

Sika Peninsula
This spit of land was part of the Encheeko continent, on the planet Rodia, and extended into the Ioliu Sea. (SPG)

Sikadian Gardens
Found on the planet S'krrr, this cultural landmark was created by the insectile S'krrr. Its exact age was unknown, but historians know that the Gardens have been around for thousands of years. No modern technology was used to maintain the gardens, which were built on the site of an ancient worshipping ground. Several insect-shaped statues mark where a cult of S'krrr worshipped the insects which they believed were gods. (GOF8)

Sikan
This alien race was native to the planet Sika. (LF5)

Sik'ark'kuck
This Gree work literally means "Swallower," and was the name of the largest desert found on the planet Te Hasa. (SWJ8)

Sikes
This Alliance soldier accompanied Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, and Han Solo to Kiva, in an effort to exposed Project Starscream. Unfortunately for Sikes, he was consumed by the biological weapon known as Eppon. (GOF6)

Sikili, Sass
This Verpine negotiator worked as an intermediary between Verpine-held corporations and other business leaders, during the years following the Swarm War. It was Sass Sikili who openly warned certain corporations based on Murkhana that their continued export of small-unit comlinks was in violation of existing trade agreements, during the height of the Corellia-GA War. His appeals to the Galactic Alliance for intervention went largely unheeded, forcing Sikili and his superiors to pursue an alliance with the Mandalorians. Sikili met personally with Boba Fett, who accepted the basic outline of the agreement, and let Sikili handle more detailed arrangements with the Mandalorians who understood such things.

The mutual-aid treaty ensured that the Verpine would receive military support from the Mandalorians, in exchange for Verpine weapons technology that was used in the production of Mandalorian starfighters. Boba Fett honored his end of the bargain by establishing a Mandalorian base on the Nickel One asteroid, thereby ensuring the continued flow of Verpine weaponry. However, both sides were unprepared for an attack from the Imperial Remnant, in the weeks that followed the Second Battle of Fondor, in which Imperial stormtroopers unleashed a form of the Fizz virus that attacked an killed only the Verpine warriors. This left a large portion of the population undefended, allowing the Imperials to all but enslave them. It was later learned that Sass Sikili had turned down a offer to join the growing Jedi Coalition shortly before the attack. (LF5, LF9)

Si'Klaata Cluster
This dense collection of stars was located within the boundaries of Hutt Space, and contained planets such as Vontor and Klatooine. (GG12, GORW, NECH)

Sil, Gavron
This being was hunted down and killed by Boba Fett, during the early years of the New Order. Unknown to Fett, Gavron Sil was the son of the crimelord known as Drex. Drex and his surviving son, Feleen Bantillian, conspired to trap Fett on Vornax and exact revenge on him for the death of Gavron Sil. (T18)

SIL-50
Commonly referred to as the "Sleep Inducer," this was Pacnorval's most advanced sonic weapon. It used hypersonic wave energy to disrupt a target's nervous system, rendering the target disoriented in a few seconds. (EGW)

This man was a frequent patron of the Coruscant underworld during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He was often seen in the company of his friends, Zey Nep, Dixon Just, and Artuo Pratuhr. (SWI75)

Silaban
This CR90 corvette was part of the fleet that defended the planet Corellia, during the years following the Swar, War. It was the Silaban that tried to intercept the Love Commander and the Pulsar Skate when the two ships tried to flee Corellia, during the war between Corellia and the Galactic Alliance. The Silaban's crew found that they was no match for the combined firepower of the two ships, especially when Corran Horn and Wedge Antilles arrived in the X-Wings to serve as escorts. The corvette's engines were badly damaged in the escape, and the ship was forced to allow the other vessels to flee. (LF4)

Silais
This Twi'lek was a representative of the Old Republic, and was dispatched to assist in bringing the planet Cerea in the Republic. He was not expecting the elders of the planet to resist becoming a member of the Republic. Silais spoke of the benefits the Republic could bring to what he considered a backwater world, but Ki-Adi-Mundi the elders remained stoic in their position. Despite their rebuffs of his efforts, Silais provided the technology which exonerated Ki of the murder of a young man and implicated Maj-Odo-Nomor. After the discovery of the Trade Federation's role in the import of technology to Cerea, Silais was recalled to Coruscant without warning. (PTR)

Silais
A common name given to Twi'lek males, this name meant "gatekeeper" or "caretaker". (GCG)

Silan
This creature was believed to be nothing more than a terrible legend, although Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered a specimen on Arorlia during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. The silan was an immense, gray-skinned creature which was armed with a multitude of suckered tentacles, and its body was covered by many wide mouths filled with knife-like teeth. Despite his reverence for all living things, Qui-Gon was directed by the Force to kill the Silan. (T1)

Sil-ar
This was one of the six races of Tiss'shar. Sil-ar Tiss'shar were characterized by their diamond-shaped markings. (GG12)

Silas
This man was a member of the surviving Mandalorian Shocktroopers, working with Jaster Mereel and young Jango Fett after Vizsla and the Death Watch split from their band. Silas joined the Mandalorians after the split with the Death Watch, and had very little knowledge of their existence until the mission to Korda 6. There, Silas was one of a handful of Mandalorians to survive the ambush laid by Vizsla's forces. Unfortunately, Silas was captured by Count Dooku some ten years before the Battle of Geonosis and interrogated, so that Dooku could gathered evidence and information on Jango Fett. (JFOS)

Sildor, Vordin
This man was one of the many natives of the moon Rori who supported the Alliance, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Sileen
A Mistryl warrior working with Manda D'ulin. She was the pilot of the Skyclaw, and survived the ambush in Gorno. (TME)

Silence, The
This was one of the foremost of the laws set down by the Ammuud Code. The Silence was the law that was perhaps the most perfected among the seven ruling families, since it demanded that internal dealings among the clans be kept within the clans themselves. Thus, no clan member could speak about such dealings with another individual, regardless of their authority. (HSR)

Silencer
This IntelStar communications jamming system allowed pirates, smugglers, and independent starship captains to block a nearby vessel's outside communications. (PP)

Silencer
This unusual, projectile-firing pistol was produced during the height of the New Order. It was available with a bio-link that connected the weapon to the shooter's brainwaves, adding a measure of accuracy and speed to the weapon's capabilities. (SWGAL)

Silencer 1
This first World Devastator was built at the shipyards of Thomork. (DESB)

Silencer-7
A "mature" World Devastator, the Silencer-7 was under the command of Titus Klev during the Battle of Calamari. This huge ship - the largest World Devastator ever seen - measured 3,200 meters in length, and stood 1,500 meters tall. It was manned by a crew of 23,684, with 1,975 gunners, 2,000 slaves, 1,600 droids, and could transport 8,803 troops and 1,500 pilots. It was armed with 125 heavy turbolaser batteries, 200 blaster cannons, 80 proton missile tubes, 15 ion cannons, and 15 tractor beam emplacements. The World Devastators were disabled by Luke Skywalker and R2-D2 when R2 was able to tap into the Master Command Codes and take control of the ships. R2 then programmed the World Devastators to destroy themselves. (DE1, DESB, NEGW)

Silent Blades
This group of pirates was eventually wiped out by Captain Kenit and the Far Orbit, but took out a full squadron of Imperial starfighters and caused considerable damage to the Far Orbit before succumbing. The survivors eventually formed the Tarnished Blades. (FOP)

Silent Meditation
This was a relaxation technique practiced by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. Most students learned the technique by the time they were five standard years old. (YDR)

Silent Voices, The
This was the term used by the Anzati race to describe the unusual auroral lights that were often seen in the skies of their homeworld of Anzat. Many Anzati claimed that the lights had voices, and could communicate with them in their minds. The Anzati did little to dispel these stories as myths of urban legends, since stories of the Silent Voices originated in the earliest recorded history of their race. The original Anzati believed that the Silent Voices were the disembodied spirits of their dead, and formed a vast collection known as the Sea of Memory. It was this Sea of Memory that later became associated with the idea of "soup". (RT)

Silent Water
A Mon Calamari cruiser commanded by Adar Tallon as the flagship of his Alliance fleet. (RC)

Silent, The
This mysterious group of veiled individuals began showing up in hospitals and medical facilities throughout the galaxy during the height of the Clone Wars. Their mission - which was communicated in writing and never spoken, thus the name of the group - was to assist doctors and surgeons in healing their patients simply by means of their presence. Members of The Silent always wore an identity-concealing osmotic veil when in the presence of the sick or injured, ostensibly to prevent transference of contagions. They never spoke, not even to each other, and took their meals in a private location. It was unknown how The Silent drew their strange power, but the evidence in their favor was startling. Those operating rooms and hospitals in which a member of The Silent was working experienced higher recovery rates than non-staffed facilities. Many believed that The Silent drew upon the Force, although the Jedi Order claimed no relation to The Silent. (MBS)

Silentium
This was the name of a race of sentient droids that was believed to have evolved outside the known galaxy, although any records of the origins were lost over the millennia. Only a few individuals were ever encountered in the galaxy, and these resembled pentagonal starfish that had thin legs at each point on their bodies. They told stories of having been created by a higher race of beings in their own image, and lived with these beings until a massive radiation storm wiped out their entire civilization. Only the Silentium droids remained, and continued their species by literally manufacturing "children" in factories. The leaders of the Silentium took on spherical bodies some fifty kilometers in diameter, since it was believed that the circle was the holiest of all shapes. Over time, some members of the Silentium adopted bodies that had seven sides, as the numbers five, eleven, and seven were also considered holy. In the vast millennia before the history of the known galaxy, the Silentium were attacked by another droid race known as the Abominor, and their titanic struggles nearly wiped out all organic life in their galaxy. The organics fought back, and eventually drove the two droid races out of their galaxy entirely. Those members of the Silentium who survived the crossing of the intra-galactic gulf later found a home in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy, and lived a conservative existence that helped ensure their safety and anonymity. Some members of the Silentium, especially young ones, chose to leave the safety of their new home to explore the galaxy, and often returned with wild stories that were used to build a picture of the galaxy around them. The central body of a member of the Silentium - individuals were often referred to as Agents of the Silentium - was dominated by a single, red, multifaceted photoreceptor eye, and the rest of the body was covered with highly-polished chromium that allowed a great deal of flexibility. The manipulators that were used as arms and legs performed a variety of tasks, including locomotion. They could also be removed from the main body and operate independently from it, and each had a small red eye that was a miniature version of the main photoreceptor. These secondary eyes allowed an Agent of the Silentium to explore tiny cracks and crevasses while monitoring the progress of the detached limbs. Each of the five arms on the body ended with with tinier "fingers" that were as thin as human hair but flexible and as strong as many alloys. (NEGD, LCM, LCF, LCS)

Silerian Stall
This starfighter maneuver requires a pilot to stall his ship's forward progress, causing pursuers to shoot past and in front of his ship. The pilot can then fire on them, rather than be fired upon by them. (XWWP)

Sileron
This was the first planet in the Veron System, and it had a radical axial tilt. This causes wild and violent seasonal changes. The plants and animals found on the planet have developed distinct cycles that coincide with the seasons. Sileron had two moons. (PG1)

Silicavore
Native to the planet Kamur, this family of creatures consumed rocks as part of their diet. (COG)

Silika
This species of aliens was made of living stone, and was distinguished by their craggy faces and wide mouths. They were humanoid in shape, but had a third arm protruding from the center of their chests. To other species, individuals were indistinguishable. The Silika had many deep-rooted traditions, including using the same initials for children in a specific family unit, which seemed inane but were nonetheless treated with the utmost respect. (SWJ1)

Silika Water
A highly-potent alcoholic distillation created by the Silika race. (SWJ1)

Silizzar, Gurion
This man spent much of his life trying to exact revenge on Doctor Evazan. Evazan killed seven members of his family by first poisoning them, then operating on them. Gurion attempted to kill Evazan in his castle laboratory, on the planet Ando, with three other brothers, but they all perished while trying to gain access to the castle. Gurion nearly killed Evazan, but he was killed in a fall from the roof of Evazan's castle. (TME, SWDB)

Sill
This name was given to female Zabrak, and meant "warm breeze". (GCG)

Sillib, Aemont
This Muun served the InterGalactic Banking Clan as a loan officer during the early years of the New Order. He worked diligently to change his position in the social and economic hierarchy of Muunilinst. Born into a low-level clan, Sillib was first employed to oversee a south-polar mine-spire. His skills with diplomacy and tact earned him regular promotions, until he was named a loan officer and assigned an office in Harnaidan. Sillib hoped one day to become chairman of the IBC, and was determined to make this dream a reality. (GORW)

Sillib, Vedo
This was a noted member of Muun society. (UANT)

Sil'Lume
This weak, orange star was the central body in the Sil'Lume System, which included the planet Tol Ado and the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt. (JH)

Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt
Orbiting the star Sil'Lume, this huge asteroid field was considered fairly easy to navigate. This was because, despite a million planetoids and billions of smaller chunks of rock in the belt, there was a great deal of space between them all. The Sil'Lume Belt was incredbily wide, taking up millions of square kilometers of orbital real estate. Nearly 900,000 of the asteroids had been catalogued by their owners, and each was assigned a number and a name. The number corresponded to the order in which it was catalogued, and the name was that of the asteroid's first owner. Thus, 24 Tredway was the twenty-fourth asteroid catalogued in the Belt, and was originally owned by the Tredway family. Most of the asteroids in the Sil'Lume Belt were owned by miners and prospectors, until the Empire took control of the Belt and began taking taxes and other tariffs from the independent owners. (JH)

Silly Rabbit

Silooth
This normally docile creature, no larger than a womp rat, was altered by the ancient Sith alchemists to become a huge, ferocious predator. Its eight legs were strengthened and given huge talons, and its skin was altered to become covered with chitinous, armor plates. Its huge jaws gnashed as it moved, biting and consuming anything in its path. Although these creatures had excellent night-vision, the average silooth could only see things within ten meters of its location. Once it located prey, however, the silooth attacked furiously, and could actually spit acid in a wide spray in an effort to bring down its prey. This acid was stored within the creature in two separate sacs, and was inert until mixed and expelled. (DSSB)

Silooth
It was rumored that Grand Admiral Peccati Syn renamed his flagship from Fi to Silooth, although New Republic records never indicated that this was true. (OWS)

Silphum

Silri
This former Nightsister joined the Zann Consortium during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (LAWS)

Sil's Place
This pub was located near Westport, on the planet Coruscant, during the years following the end of the Clone Wars. The pub was known to be quite loud and noisy, making it a perfect place for clandestine meetings. The only spot inside the pub that was considered quiet was the Grotto Room. The Amanin bartender who worked there was believed to have been an operative of the Whiplash organization, providing a link between field personnel and their control agents. (CN3)

Siltcrawler
This burrowing creature lived in huge colonies beneath the surface of the planet Nelvaan. They preferred to establish their colonies within the root system of large trees, which offered them easy access to nutrients as well as protection. However, siltcrawlers were the favored prey of the horax, which used the large horns on its snout to unroot trees and expose the colony. A single horax could consume an entire siltcrawler colony in a single meal. (SWDB)

Silttes
This was a common name among Quarren females. It meant "quiet". (GCG)

Siluria III
This planet was subjugated by the Empire, until Kaiya Adrimetrum rallied the inhabitants against the Imperial forces and deposed the local Governor, Quannith. (DARK, GG9)

Silurian Rodents
Filthy rodents who live in dank cave connected by tunnels. (GG9)

Silus
This immense, claw-handed, Force-sensitive alien made a name for himself on a remote world, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, as a gladiator. He fought only those beings who could use the Force against him, earning his credits by killing others with the assistance of the Force. In order to ensure his own victories, Silus fought in an arena that was surrounded by a nullifier field that rendered most energy weapons useless. The disturbance in the Force caused by Silus' activities attracted the attention of Darth Sidious, who felt that Silus was a possible threat to his plans. Sidious dispatched his young apprentice, Darth Maul, to eliminate Silus, although the message he sent with Darth Maul indicated that Silus could become an apprentice if he could eliminate Darth Maul. Fearing for his own life, Darth Maul used the Force to overload the nullifier field, then proceeded to execute Silus with several slashes of his double-bladed lightsaber. Darth Sidious was more than pleased, as Darth Maul's actions proved that he was capable of taking on more important missions. (T24)

Silver
This group of Alliance shuttles was destroyed by Imperial forces, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE, TIEP)

Silver Antz
This was the most advanced species of antz that were native to the planet Kubindi, having achieved a primitive level of sentience without intervention from the Kubaz. These bipedal creatures were a warlike race that protected its territory with simple clubs and axes. It was believed that the population of Silver Antz on Kubindi numbered in the tens of thousands. Entire armies of Silver Antz moved through the forests within their territory, harvesting fungus, roots, and other insects for sustenance. (MIS6)

The Silver Flow was held as a planet-wide holiday on Alderaan, signifying the wonderful rebirth of life each spring. (ISU)

Silver Foil
This thin cable was a common connector found on swoops. (CFG)

Silver Forest of Dreams
Located on the planet Kubindi, this forest was filled with giant trees which produced huge, 20-meter-wide leaves. When the leaves fell in autumn, they floated to the ground like giant rafts. Much of the forest was considered the territory of the native ghost spydrs, and any being walking through the forest had to be constantly aware of webs and trip-wires. The forest was named for silver wood of the trees, many of which stood more than a kilometer in height; and mists that shrouded the forests and limited visiblity. When viewed from above, the Silver Forest of Dreams appeared to be a field of huge shards of cut glass that were covered with the soft mists. There were rumors and stories of the Silver Forest of Dreams being a place where the Dark Side of the Force was concentrated. (RF, MIS6)

Silver Fur
This was the codename of the Alliance's chief undercover agent on Bespin's Cloud City, during the period between the Battle of Hoth and the Battle of Endor. An aging Bothan, Silver Fur was one of the agents charged with helping refugees of the Empire's occupation of Cloud City to the safeworld of Kaliska. Silver Fur was killed when Jodo Kast opened fire on the Alliance agents, hitting the Bothan square in the chest with a small missile. (GMR3)

Silvestri Trace
This remote branch of the Rimma Trade Route connected the Rimma to the Inner and Outer Zuma regions of the galaxy. However, the connection was tenuous at best, and even the Empire's formation of the Sanctuary Pipeline did little to ensure safe passage to planets such as Endor. (GMR9)

Silvuit Corporation
This subcontaractor of Sienar Fleet Systems was used in the design of the Lambda-class shuttle. They emerged from obscurity after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn to produce the Svelte-class shuttle and the Vibre-class cruiser. (JASB, SOG)

SIM
see Systems Infiltration Manager (GOF10)

Sim, Balthazar
This noted smuggler and mercenary was known for his ability to cover up his tracks. During the height of the New Order, Sim was hired by the Imperial financers of Aucellis Park to clean up the mess which occurred when a shipment of the drug known as "pleaz-mo" was stolen and planted in the food and beverages of a dinner party. Unfortunately for both parties, Sim was caught on a security tape, and found himself pursued by his old rival, Evin Telbre. Several years earlier, Sim was implicated in the death of one of Telbre's friends on Coruscant, as part of his activities to cover up a conspiracy. Sim evaded capture, although Telbre continued to follow his activities. When Sim stole a crystalline corsage from a victim, he failed to realize that the corsage contained a tracking device which was designed to locate its original owner. Telbre learned of the theft, and used the corsage's transmissions to locate Sim while he was en route to Keriba VI. A group of agents, assisting Telbre, located Sim and his commander, Hoogi Grym, beneath the Cavern's Delight ride at Aucellis Park, sparking a wild chase through the attraction and the Imperial facility beneath it. Grym used lies and deceit to enable a hasty escape, leaving Sim behind to be captured. In order to gain a measure of revenge, Sim agreed to tell Telbre and his associates about the true nature of Aucellis Park. (WOA27)

Simbarc
This frigid planet, located in the Outer Rim Territories, was known for its rich mines and its loose casinos. (HMK)

Simcronics
This specialty manufacturer produced several models of personal shielding systems, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GFT)

Sim-First
This was the name of the first settlement established on the abandoned world of Simpla-12, after the planet had been strip-mined by the Old Republic. No other settlement had ever been established, and Sim-First simply spread out from its center and eventually covered a great deal of the planet. (EVE)

Simik System
This area of the galaxy was controlled by the Empire during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (AIR, OWS)

Simikarty
This ancient Jedi Master was one of many who spent their careers meditating on the Jedi Code and its various interpretations. It was Master Simikarty who first proposed that only infants be allowed to begin training as future Jedi, to eliminate the possibility of family ties creating conflict or unnessary attachment in a student. As written in the Teyan Apologia, Master Simikarty explained that "the infant is an intellectual naïve, so we must begin before he or she absorbs habits that cannot be unlearned - passion, avarice, vanity, and all the rest." (OF, OWS)

Simir
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word meant "year." (OWS)

Simito, Siro
This charismatic man was born into the Vallaido pirate clan, and spent much of his childhood manning turbolasers on pirate vessels. When he was forced to kill four of Gorbu Dalo's henchmen during a boarding exercise, he began to rethink his involvement with the pirate group. He retired from active duty, and was soon employed by Pann Tefilous as a starship racer. He excelled as a racer, and remained neutral as the Galactic Civil War spread through the Outer Rim Territories. He was forced to change his stance when Yearo Seville and his gang allied themselves with the Empire and used Imperial warships to destroy the Vallaido fleet. Simito allied himself with the Alliance and offered his services as a courier. His skills as a racer, and his fast ship - the Axe - allowed him to take sidetrips during a race, in order to make his drops and still finish at the top of the leaderboard. (CRO)

Simiyiar-class Light Freighter
Produced by the Mon Calamari shipyards, this 26.3-meter freighter was built to transport up to 150 metric tons of cargo and eight passengers, with just a single pilot controlling the ship's functions. (AIR)

Simm, Nak
This Zabrak served as Torga the Hutt's chief lieutenant during the height of the New Order. He was known to be an excellent judge of character, a trait which Torga valued in choosing the members of his criminal organization. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Nak Simm was scheduled to meet with Jolla the Hutt to discuss a possible alliance between the two minor crimelords. Before he could attempt the meeting, however, Nak Simm was assassinated by Nomo Sliken, a Clawdite killer who worked for Moska the Hutt. Nomo Sliken then attended the meeting in Nak Simm's place, hoping to destroy Jolla's confidence in Torga. (WOA23)

Simma, Ju
This Givin was renowned for his mathematical theories, upon which many Givin tools and systems were based. (EVR)

Simms
This woman was one of the many Jedi Masters who served as Generals in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. She and her Padawan, Noirah Na, accompanied Jedi Master Kai Hudorra to Toola, to secure the Republic's position on the planet. However, when the command to execute Order 66 was given, Master Simms sacrificed her life so that the other Jedi could escape. (RIU)

Simms, Merrick
This young starfighter pilot served the Alliance at Dantooine, in the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin.

Simonelle
This Ingoian was hired by the Empire to work with Massad Thrumble, and together they created the human replica droid known as Guri from the plans stolen from the Alliance's Project Decoy. A noted leader in the field of automata, Simonelle the Ingoian later sold Guri to Prince Xizor for nine million credits, and he spent the credits to create a replica droid of himself, in order to avoid Xizor's plans to ensure Guri's uniqueness. Simonelle's planning paid off, when Xizor later sent Guri to dispatch him. She effectively killed the replica droid, and Simonelle fled into hiding. (SSE, SESB, NEGD)

Simons
This man served as helmsman on the bridge crew of the Errant Venture, during the raid on the Imperial Ubiqtorate base at Yaga Minor. Led by Garm Bel Iblis, the raid was designed to obtain a copy of the Caamas Document. (VOF)

Simoom
This desert region, located on the forest moon of Endor, was the home of the Phlogs. Simoon was located to the south of the Great Forest, and far from the Desert of Salma. (ECAR, OWS)

Simpla-12
A remote planet, Simpla-12 was considered one of the most notoriously criminal planets in the galaxy. The planet had been strip-mined of its natural resources and abandoned by the Old Republic, and eventually became a haven for outcasts and smugglers. Over time, a thriving black market community evolved. Simpla-12 orbited a weak sun, and it was continually shrouded by dense cloud cover. (DH, EVE)

Simple Home
These buildings were used by the Zanazi of the Cosmic Balance religion as places where a Child of the Bowl could live and work in their faith. Led by Home Mothers and Fathers, every member of a Simple Home had specific duties to perform, but they were denied the simplest of pleasures. Each member of the Home had to regularly deny themselves of some necessity in order to cleanse their spirits. Thus, the Simple Homes of Bakura stood in opposition to - and in balance with - the more luxurious accommodations of the Zanazi and the Child of the Feather from each family. (TBSB, GORW)

Simpson, Mason
This noted mathemetician was a professor at the Salis D'arr Academy. In the aftermath of the Battle of Bakura, Simpson was consulted by the New Republic to investigate the Ssi-ruuk's mathematics. Simpson and his team discovered that the Ssi-ruuk once used a system based on the number twelve, ostensibly because they had a total of twelve digits on their hands and feet. However, Simpson's team learned that the Ssi-ruuvi computers were base-10. Simpson concluded that the Ssi-ruuk simply got lazy, and simply adopted technology from the greater galaxy. (TBSB)

Simran Hit-trap
This device was used to screen visitors to a building or room. It was used to detect the presence of weapons and explosives. (MJEH)

Sims, Tigor
This man was a member of the Alliance's intelligence agency during the years following the Battle of Yavin. He suddenly disappeared while en route to the command base aboard Home One, during a mission to recover datafiles on the reconstruction efforts being taken by the Imperial military to rebuilt itself after the destruction of the first Death Star. His ship crashlanded on Granus IV, and a team was sent to recover the datafiles. (RESB)

Simsoft
This was military slang for the software which gets loaded into a flight simulator. It defines the mission, the opponent's strength and configuration, and the the artificial intelligence necessary to similate the opponent's actions. (XWES)

Simula-Scenery
This was a brand of specialized form of wallscreen, which could be programmed to display a wide range of backdrops for a room. Simula-Screens were popular in casinos and rstaurants during the height of the New Order, allowing the owners to change their décor quickly and regularly, in order to maintain interest with their customers. (MC20)

Simunition
This was a specialized form of ammunition that was created for the training of the clone troopers produced on Kamino for the Grand Army of the Republic. Combat instructors were forced to recognize that they had just a few years to get the clones ready for combat, and took advantage of technology whenever possible. Simunition was essentially pretend ammunition, so it wouldn't permanently harm any individual it hit. However, it delivered a nasty hurt when it struck, so that a clone knew when it was hit. By using simunition, combat instructors trained the clones to shoot their weapons instinctively, rather than by relying on targeting technology. (RCHC)

Simus
This ancient Sith Lord was one of the most powerful of his era. He trained the Sith magician Naga Sadow while in his prime. However, he was defeated in battle by Marka Ragnos and fated to die. Simus had other plans, and used the Dark Side magic of the Sith to preserve himself. His head was encased in a specialized, crystalline container, and he existed this way for another century before Ragnos died. When Ludo Kressh and Sadow began fighting over the rulership of the Sith Empire, it was Simus who urged Kreshh to consider the possibility that Jori and Gav Daragon were truly hyperspace mappers, and not advanced scouts for the Old Republic. When Kressh refused, Simus gave his support to his former student, Naga Sadow. This trust proved to be short-lived, for Sadow had Simus killed as part of the deception surrounding his plans to become the Dark Lord of the Sith. (GAS)

Simus Minor
This star was the central body of the Simus Minor System, located in the Outer Rim Territories beyond the Tion Hegemony. (WOA32)

Simus Minor Belt

This barren, rocky world was the innermost planet of the Simus Minor System. (WOA32)

Simus Minor II
This planet was the second world of the Simus Minor System. (WOA32)

SimuTunnel
A point-to-point hyperspace connection, these pathways - in conjunction with S-threads - were used to connect the various star systems linked via the HoloNet. (ISB)

Sinal
This ball of searing rock was the innermost planet of the Bacrana System. (FBS)

Sin-bullet
This was the name given to the gullet-stones which were coughed up by Vashan bodhis, as part of an unusual religious ceremony that took place at Inicus Mont, on the moon of Mina, every mid-winter. The bodhis of Mina coughed up the polished stones from their six antestomachs, spraying them around the base of Inicus Mont. Vashan pilgrims then rushed to acquire the sin-bullets, an event that often led to fighting. However, it was believed that any Vashan who consumed a sin-bullet and crushed it in their true stomach would be absolved of any sins they had made during the previous year. Thus, the pilgrimage to Mina was a highly religious and spiritual event for the Vashan people. (GMR9)

Sinde, Treis
This aging man was one of the many Imperial Knights who served the New Empire during the years following the Battle of Caamas. Unlike other Imperial Knights, however, Master Sinde didn't blindly follow the rest of the government when Darth Krayt assumed control of the galaxy and merged the Imperial forces into his vast Sith army. Sinde had been a loyal supported of Emperor Roan Fel, and refused to accept the evil form of rule that was instituted by Darth Krayt. Sinde began to work behind the scenes, recruiting Sigel Dare to work with him to undermine the power of the Sith. To this end, they infiltrated the Mon Calamari shipyards and sabotaged the Star Destroyer Imperious. Two obvious explosives were hidden aboard the vessel, with the hope that any being searching for sabotage would not find the third group explosives that were rigged to go off when the ship's weapons systems were brought online.

They had hoped to cripple the Sith-Imperial war machine, and were dismayed when Admiral Gar Stazi of the Galactic Alliance stole the ship, because Sinde believed that an alliance between Fel and Stazi might be able to overthrow the Sith. The pair made contact with Monia Gahan, who had been stranded on Calamari when Darth Krayt began his extermination of the Mon Calamari race, and helped her escape the planet. They also freed as many Galactic Alliance personnel as possible from Sith prisons, as a gesture of their good faith. In order to ensure their escape, Master Sinde was foced to confront Darth Azard in a lightsaber duel, while Dare stole a shuttle and fled. Dare's use of the shuttle's weapons to explode a fuel tank gave Master Sinde a chance to escape from the Sith Lord, and he fled into the underground, where he worked to rally the Mon Calamari to fight back against their common enemy, the Sith.

This tall man served as one of Governor Barshnis Choard's primary aides, during the height of the New Order. (A)

Sing, Aurra
This bounty hunter was, at one time, a student of the Force. Aurra Sing was a female humanoid with pasty, white skin, three-jointed fingers, and thin limbs, she was quite striking in her appearance. Perhaps the monst unusual feature about her appearance was the antenna that protruded from the left side of her top-knotted skull. Born to Aunuanna on Nar Shaddaa, Aurra Sing was never aware of her father's identity. Some claimed that he had been a Rattakati or an Umbaran, given her own pale skin, but the genetics of these races did not account for her long life. After growing up in poverty, she taken from the degenerate moon by the famed Dark Woman and trained on Coruscant for a short time. As a Jedi trainee, she learned minimal control of the Force from the Dark Woman, but Aurra was captured on Ord Namurt by a group of Sennex Pirates, who later apprenticed her to Nooga the Hutt. The pirates told Aurra that the Dark Woman told them she was not strong enough to complete the early training of a Padawan and had been dismissed by the Dark Woman.

This angered Aurra, and she hated the Jedi fiercely from that point on. Nooga apprenticed her to some Anzati assassins, who implanted a Rhen-Orm biocomputer in her skull to augment her mental capacity. After learning that she could use her minimal contact with the Force to hunt down others, she returned to Nooga, assassinated him, and set out to become a bounty hunter. Note that the story Aurra's Song claims Aurra Sing was purchased from the Sennex Pirates by Walla the Hutt, after the Dark Woman sold her to the pirates.

She was noted for her ability to hunt down and kill the Jedi Knights, and she had several lightsabers in her trophy case to mark her prowess. After leaving the Jedi, she had a Rhen-Orm biocomputer implanted in her head, to help her in her hunting. She was the bounty hunter who eventually located and eliminated Reess Kairn on the Forest Moon of Endor. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Aurra was retained in an effort to locate and kill the secretive Jedi Master, Sharad Hett. Since she was familiar with the streets of Mos Espa, assignment was easy for her. Despite the efforts of Ki-Adi-Mundi, she was able to assassinate Hett.

During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Aurra Sing was recruited by Cad Bane to assist with a mission to free Ziro the Hutt from prison. The mission involved the capture of several Senators, who were to be held hostage until Ziro was freed. Aurra Sing served as the team's sniper, taking out the Senate Guards who blocked their entrance to the Senate Rotunda. Following this mission, Aurras Sing was hired by Devaronian Senator Vien'sai'malloc to assassinate Elsah'sai'moro and protect the Separatist base on Devaron from attack. Eager to kill more Jedi, Aurra agreed to the job. She nearly killed both Jedi Master Tholme and her own former teacher, the Dark Woman, but she was apprehended by Aayla Secura. Aurra Sing tried to taunt the young Jedi, trying to use an advantage she could gain. However, in combat, Aayla managed to slice off the antenna on Aurra Sing's head, momentarily cutting her off from her anger. Aurra Sing was captured by the Jedi and sentenced immediately to imprisonment on Oovo IV. The lightsabers she had collected were returned to the Jedi Order for distribution to students of the dead.

Although no records from Oovo IV survived the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Aurra Sing was believed to have escaped from the prison facility. In reality, she was extracted from Oovo IV by Darth Vader himself, and offered a chance to track down Jax Pavan. During her search, she crossed paths with Captain Typho of Naboo inside the ruins of the Jedi Temple, and she was slightly upset when the one-eyed man managed to slice off her biocomp antenna before making his escape. Putting this minor failure aside, Aurra Sing continued to pursue Jax Pavan, relying on her own connection to the Force to track him down. In a construction area of Spaceport Nine, she managed to confront him in one-on-one combat. She found that his skills with a lightsaber were good, but believed that she had a very good chance of defeating him. However, she was unprepared for his use of unorthodox tactics, and Aurra Sing found herself trapped in an active reposticator. Aurra Sing fell into the sand-like raw material that the machine used to create construction supplies, and Jax believed that she was died inside the machine.

However, Aurra Sing managed to keep her wits about her, and escaped from the machine before it could tear her apart. In the years that followed, Aurra Sing made a quiet living in the more remote parts of the galaxy during the years leading up to the appearance of the Yuuzhan Vong. She went into hiding, but reappeared some ten years later in the Hapes Consortium. Still active at the age of seventy-five, Aurra Sing was hired by Lady Morwan and the Heritage Council to assassinate the Queen Mother, Tenel Ka. Her attempt was thwarted by the Hapan Royal Guard, and she managed to escape with Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, who had been on Hapes trying to warn the Queen of the assassination. They traveled to Telkur Station, where Aurra Sing was ordered by Lady Morwan to cut off her hunt of the Queen Mother, and to concentrate on eliminating the Chume'da, Allana. She nearly reached the child after infiltrating the Anakin Solo, but Allana managed to inject her with a chemical that rendered the bounty hunter immobile.

Singer, Crying Dawn
This vivid white Shashay was distinguished by his red crest and a splash of red on his chest. He was short for a Shashay, and had a large beak and wide eyes. Unlike most Shashay, Crying Dawn Singer was a free spirit, and didn't fit into their normally-regimented life. He was one of the galaxy's most famous space singers, and traveled through much of Rayter Sector with his entourage performing for Imperial dignitaries. He was one of the few Shashay which were allowed to leave their homeworld by the Nestmothers, since the credits he earned were returned to Crytal Nest to benefit the entire race. During the Galactic Civil War, the Farool brothers kidnapped him on the planet Najarka. They attempted to gain favor in the eyes of the Empire by blaming the kidnapping on the Alliance. Singer was held on the planet Narg, where he was eventually rescued by the Alliance. (TA)

Single-celery Soda
This was a favored beverage of the Ugor race. (SH)

Singularity
This highly-modified Imperial-class Star Destroyer was controlled by the Imperial agent known only as Blackhole, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It armor plating was coated with a stygium-triprismatic polymer that made it virtually impossible to detect using standard sensor systems. It was armed with 60 turbolasers, 60 ion cannons, and 10 tractor beam projectors. (GMR5, RESB)

Singularity
This was a mid-level starship engine system produced by Novaldex, during the early years of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Singularity Mine
This Yuuzhan Vong weapon was essentially a miniature dovin basal - an organic black hole - contained in the shell of a normal explosive. When activated, the singularity mine exerted an incredibly strong, highly focused gravity field, sucking anything in close proximity into the black hole. (SBS, NJOSB)

Sinharan T'sau
This opulent skyhook served as the headquarters of the Black Sun operations on the planet Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic and the early years of the New Order. To the casual observer, Sinharan T'sau appeared to be a luxurious resort that was build to resemble a rocky mountainside. Obsidian and tachylyte stone covered its interior structures, and beneath its protective dome grew all manner of cycads and gorse. However, within its maze-like walls was found the Midnight Hall. (CN1)

Sinkander, Mal
This woman lived on the planet Naboo, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Sinkar
This species of helium-based slug creatures was native to the inhospitable world of Sinkar, and resembled huge, black amoebas. These huge creatures crawled across the surface of Sinkar, living on solar energies and minerals scraped from the ground. They were believed to live for an extremely long time, and many believed that their minds held many of the secrets of the universe. However, the Sinkar were also known as slow and ponderous thinkers, and obtaining even tiny bits of information from them could take years. (SWCP)

Sinkar
Located in the Lawreys System, this frigid world barely supported life. Much of the oxygen on the planet was frozen on the planet's surface, making carbon-based life impossible. However, the planet was the homeworld of the Sinkar race. The Empire garrisoned the planet, although the exact reason for their presence on the planet was never discovered. (SWCP)

Sinker
This young man, born two years after the Battle of Endor, was one of the many smugglers - known as Huxlings - who worked for Jerf Huxley. When Huxley tried to bully Mara Jade Skywalker into surrendering 500,000 credits from Talon Karrde, Sinker was ordered to take Mara's lightsaber. Mara used the Force to ignite the weapon in his hands, then move it about wildly while he tried to control it. This distraction allowed Mara's husband, Luke Skywalker, to arrive on the scene. After the Skywalkers gained control of the situation, Sinker was forced to turn the lightsaber back over to Mara. (SQ)

Sinker
This clone trooper escaped the destruction of the Triumphant over Abregado-Rae, fleeing the ship in an escape pod with Jedi Master Plo Koon and clone commander Wolffe. As a member of the so-called Wolfpack, Sinker was distinguished by his blonde hair and his matter-of-fact attitude. (CWTV02)

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

Sinking Stone
A Stellar Mag V mining vessel used on Jatee. (SN)

Sinn, Jahren
This man, a farmer from the planet Nez Peron, married Mirith Sinn. He was elected to speak for the farmers of his nation, in an effort to convince the planetary government to align with the New Republic. When Imperial forces demanded that Jahren provide them with supplies, he refused, and was executed for hindering their efforts. (CE, CE2)

Sinn, Mirith
This strikingly beautiful, red-haired woman was the leader of the New Republic's forces in the sector of space controlled by the Imperial garrison on Phaeda. Her base of operations was on Phaeda itself. A one-time native of the planer Nez Peron, she was married to Jahren Sinn when Imperial forces decided to stop at his farm for supplies. They tried to take what they wanted from Jahren, but he refused. The Imperial troops shot him dead on the spot, and Mirith escaped only because the troops were too busy stealing supplies to notice. She dedicated her life to the destruction of the Empire, joining the Alliance just before the Battle of Endor, and rising quickly to the rank of Commander. However, her skills were more in Intelligence and counter-insurgence rather than battle tactics. When Tem Merkon told her about the existence of Kir Kanos, she decided to bring the former Imperial into her organization. She was met with resistance from Massimo, who challenged her to a duel. When Colonel Shev discovered location of her stronghold on Phaeda, she tried to rally her troops but instead sent part of her force too far. She ignored the warnings of her second-in-command, Sish Sadeet, and nearly lost the battle. Kir Kanos took control of the fight, quickly dispatching Shev's stormtroopers. She offered to get him off-planet on the Millennium Falcon, for she was a friend of Han Solo. Kanos declined, and Sinn set about moving her forces to Collo Fauale. She also donned a cloak and tried to draw Imperial forces away from Kanos' escape, hoping to use Merkon's treacherous double-cross to her advantage. She was captured in Kanos' place, but was severely tortured by General Wessel's forces and Carnor Jax himself. After Jax let her go, she followed Kanos to Yinchorr where she and Sish Sadeet eliminated Blim before he could kill Kanos. They then tried to take Jax alive, but Kanos killed him in combat. When Sish Sadeet tried to kill Kanos for not keeping Jax alive, Kanos also killed Sadeet in defense. He then left Yinchorr to plan his next move. Mirith, angered by the loss of Jax and Sadeet, vowed to hunt down and destroy Kanos. She employed the services of Grappa the Hutt, in an effort to locate and eliminate Kanos. While inhis employ, she discovered that Grappa held the real Feena D'Asta captive. Mirith's fiance had done business with Feena's father. She tried to free D'Asta, and was assisted in her rescue by a cloaked assassin. However, Mirith was confronted by Grappa himself, who had learned from Massimo that she was secretly trying to break Grappa's piracy ring which had been plaguing New Republic ships. Grappa had both Mirith and Massimo turned over to the Zanibar for betraying his trust. She was rescued from certain death by Kir Kanos, and they left Massimo to die a traitor's death. They then fled the Zanibar camp, and Sinn was rescued by Kennede's son. She later rescued Kanos from Grappa the Hutt, when she imprisoned Grappa and recovered the real Feena D'Asta. Mirith then contacted the Baron D'Asta and returned his daughter, then helped Kanos eliminate Xandel Carivus. She tried to convince the Baron to side with the New Republic, but he chose to lead his sector of space by himself. They did remain friends, however. She met with a similar failure when she tried to convince Kir Kanos to stay with her. He chose to leave, knowing in his heart that he would always be an Imperial while she was loyal to the Republic. (CE, CE2)

Sintalta, Derembus
This man served the Alliance for many years, after years of distinguished service to the Old Republic, and after graduating from the Galactic Outdoor Survival School. He continually refused to be promoted to a desk job, in order to remain working as a field agent. Shortly before the Battle of Hoth, Sintalta held the rank of Commander, and served in Midnight Squadron, the heavy weapons division of Eclipse Team. (AIR, OWS)

Sinthenol

With the correct dosage, a being could imbibe in large quantities of alcohol without suffering any of the long-lasting effects on the brain. (MJH)

Sinton
A planet which was subjugated by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War, General Sulamar claimed to be in command of the Imperial forces that route the planet's defenses. (DS)

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

Sinus Fly
This nuisance pest, native to the deserts of Tatooine, was named for the way that it made its home in the sinus cavities of mammalian creatures. These insects moved about in ugly swarms, looking for new places to live. Several swarms of sinus flies were inadvertently transported to the Forest Moon of Endor by a group of Jawas that had been hired to reclaim some of the debris from the Battle of Endor. (GPB)

Sinya
This white-skinned Twi'lek female serverd as Darnada's personal bodyguard, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. She was distinguished by the scar which ran across her left eye, and wore the traditional lekku wrappings of a dancer. It was Sinya who claimed that Darth Maul was nothing but a common assassin, when the Sith Lord arrived on Darnada's space station to eliminate any being who had been in contact with Hath Monchar. However, she soon learned that Maul was much more, and was killed when Maul eliminated every being on the space station. (DM)

Sinya
This was a common name given to Twi'lek females, and meant "darkness" in the Twi'leki language. (GCG)

Sio
This species of tree towered above the jungles of its native planet, Joralla. (PG1)

Siolo
A common name given to Twi'lek males, this name meant "poet". (GCG)

Siolo'urmanka
This Twi'lek was one of the most famous Jedi Knights from the planet Ryloth. (WOTC)

Sion, Darth
This ancient Sith Lord was one of the most unusual of his kind, as his unusual body appeared to be pieced together from various human remains. In reality, Darth Sion's skeleton and body had been completely shattered and reformed using the Dark Side of the Force, and was held together by pure force of will. He was in a continual state of agony, and existed only because of his hatred and his devotion to the Dark Side. This earned him the title of Lord of Pain. In order to fully return to life after his body was damaged, Darth Sion was forced to enter into a healing trance, an act that was to be performed regularly, as the effort needed to keep his body together nearly killed him. Only a loyal group of Sith devotees ensured his survival. Darth Sion's early training in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force brought him to the call of Darth Malak and Darth Revan, and he led several devstating campaigns during the Jedi Civil War with Darth Nihilus. However, after the defeat of Darth Malak and the defection of Darth Revan, Darth Sion fled to Malachor V, where he received further training at the Trayus Academy, under the tutelage of Darth Traya. In order to reanimate him after a particularly strenuous attack that captured the Harbinger, Darth Sion's attendants set out for the Peragus Mining Colony. At Peragus II, Darth Sion was able to restore his own strength by drawing on the life-energies of the miners, who were all executed by the Sith. There was one troubling thing, however. His Sith attendants had captured the Ebon Hawk, and Darth Sion was unable to detect the presence of the former Jedi known only as The Exile. This enabled The Exile to escape from Peragus II with Jedi Master Kreia. After the destruction of the Peragus Mining colony, Darth Sion set out to reach Korriban and regain his strength. After meditating within the Valley of the Dark Lords, he traveled to Malachor V to join forces with Darth Nihilus and Darth Traya, forming a powerful triumverate of Sith Lords and making plans to conquer the Republic. However, after Darth Nihilus was defeated on Telos, Darth Sion found himself confronted by The Exile in the Malachor Depths. Using a skillful combination of verbal and physical attacks, The Exile managed to defeat Darth Sion in four separate fights. Each time, The Exile began his attack with words, and eventually forced Darth Sion to believe that he was no longer of any use to his former Master. In their final fight, Darth Sion sacrificed himself in order to end his pain and join the Force in death. Information that was discovered much later provided a hint that Darth Sion might have once been Jedi Master Lucien Draay. (KOTOR2, LAWS, UVG, KOR10)

Sione, Marcus
This youth was regarded as one of the most talented freelance tech specialists on the planet Kuat, during the height of the New Order. Just thirteen years old at the time of the Battle of Yavin, Marcus was known as "The Wizard" among his peers. For this reason, the Empire tried to have him abducted and imprisoned, but to no avail. Marcus always seemed to have an escape route, and many believed that he must have been sensitive to the Force. His primary adversary, Lucius Rothingham, made a career out of trying to capture Marcus. (CCW)

Sionian Skup
A race of bio-engineered humanoids of human stock. They have small, close-set eyes, thin, brittle hair, and cheese-colored skin. They were known throughout the galaxy as master thieves. (TME)

Sipharium
The Imperial shuttle used to take Kirtan Loor from Borleias back to Imperial Center. (XWN)

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

Siphoning Balloon
This form of gas-collection system was used by Tibanna tappers and other thieves to illegally acquire spin-sealed Tibanna gas and other processes atmospherics. Each balloon was equipped with a small but powerful pump, which could extract the gas from a processing facility. Individual balloons could be tethered together from a distance, allowing the thieves to obtain the gas without being noticed. This was especially true on cloud-covered gas giants like Bespin, where atmospheric conditions often led to minimal visibility. (DN2)

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

Sipsk'ud
This alien race was native to a planet in the Kanz Sector of the galaxy. The Sipsk'ud were one of the first races in the sector to adopt the religion of Vianism. (OWS)

S-Ipsus
This was one of the many substations that made up the floating city of Ipsus, which was erected in orbit above the planet Genarius. It was here that the virus created by the Believers to kill Caarites was taken for further research, after it was recovered from Tilnes, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. (MCT2)

Siquay
This gas giant was the sixth and outermost planet of the Sriluur System, located in the Outer Rim Territories. It was orbited by eighteen moons. (GORW)

Sir
This was the title used by Lobot to describe Lando Calrissian, during the first months of Lando's ownership and control of the Cloud City mining outpost. Lobot used the name Sir instead "baron administrator", which Lando hated even more than Sir. (OWS)

Sir Mac, Sir
This Bith was a frequent patron of the Outlander Club, during the years surrounding the Battle of Geonosis. (OWS)

Sirak
This male Zabrak was one of three members of his race who were training at the Sith Academy on Korriban, during the years leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. An arrogant individual who had a strong connection to the Dark Side of the Force, Sirak was the strongest and most powerful of the three Zabrak. The other two, Llokay and Yevra, looked up to Sirak as their leader, and followed him wherever he went. Sirak was distinguished from his comrades by his pale yellow skin, which set him apart from their reddish tones. Sirak began training under Lord Qordis himself some twenty years prior to the arrival of Dessel, and many at the Sith Academy believed that he had the potential to become the Sith'ari. Many believed that Sirak had achieved his potential after soundly defeating Bane in the lightsaber training ring, but many claimed it was a hollow victory, as Bane had withdrawn almost completely from the Force. Sirak, in holding to the edicts of Lord Kaan and Lord Qordis, refused to kill Bane outright, in the hopes that he might still become a useful Sith warrior. After Bane was ostracized from the academy, Sirak was surprised when Bane once again challenged him in the training ring. This time, however, Sirak's arrogance was no match for Bane's deception. Bane had been training in secret, gathering his strength in the Force through lessons with Githany, and his skill with a lightsaber in pre-dawn sessions with Lord Kas'im. Bane waited until Sirak was frantic, then drew upon the Dark Side of the Force to assail Sirak with blow after blow. Kas'im finally called a halt to the fighting after Bane had disarmed Sirak and broken one of his arms and one of his legs. Angry and jealous, Sirak plotted his revenge on Bane, taking a chance on confronting the human after he returned from the Valley of the Dark Lords. Sirak, accompanied by Llokay and Yevra and aided by Githany, confronted Bane in the academy archives. Bolstered by his seeming advantage, Sirak attacked Bane, but was unprepared for Githany's treachery. She killed the Zabrak siblings with her energy whip, leaving Sirak defenseless against Bane's power. With a swift slash of his lightsaber, Bane decapitated Sirak, ending any threat to his ascension to the title of Darth Bane. (DBPD)

Siralt
This man served on the Moff Council of the Imperial Remnant, during the years following the Swarm War. Moff Siralt was one of many Moffs who assumed military roles when the Council agreed to a deal with Jacen Solo and the Galactic Alliance. Under the terms of the deal, the Galactic Alliance would cede control of Borleias and Bilbringi in exchange for the support of the Imperial Navy during the Second Battle of Fondor. Moff Siralt and the other Moffs were equally surprised and amzed when Solo was relieved of his command by Admiral Cha Niathal, after Solo broke away from the battle plan and started bombing Fondor's cities. Moff Siralt openly questioned whether or not Solo could retain control of the Galactic Alliance, given his actions at Fondor.

After Pellaeon was assassinated by Tahiri Veila aboard the Bloodfin, Siralt 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. Siralt was among the dead, as were the other Moffs who supported Moff Quille. (LF8)

Siren III
This modified Aavman Extravagance 11-S space yacht was owned and operated by Leger DeMain. Much of the ship's original infrastructure was gutted and rebuilt to accommodate the traveling revue, with the entire bow dedicated to a large stage. The original 24 staterooms were converted to dressing rooms and living quarters for the members of DeMain's troupe. The middle engine was removed and replaced with a mocked-up cargo hold, and a small shuttle hidden among the escape pods for emergency escapes. (CRO)

Sirhka
This Noghri was one of the group which accompanied Corran Horn and Jacen Solo to Garqi, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Sirhka later assisted in helping Ganner Rhysode recover from the facial wounds he suffered in battle with Krag Val. (DTR)

Siri
This smuggler felt that a C4LR ligitation droid might be useful as an astromech replacement, given the C4LR'a flawless memory. Siri worried, however, that the C4LR would suddenly remember that it was once programmed for use by the Empire, and call in the nearest Imperial patrol to arrest the smuggler and recover the droid. (FTD)

Sirilla
This gas giant was the fourth, and outermost, planet in the Cirius System. It was orbited by seventeen moons. (WOTC)

Siringana
This huge, reptilian predator was native to the planet N'zoth. These beasts had four three-taloned legs, a pair of clawed arms, and a spiked tail. Their mouths were filled with dagger-like teeth, and were considered to be as brutal as the Yevetha. The Yevetha themselves revered the siringana with a kind of holy awe, seeing the creature as the perfect killing machine. (EGP, CCW)

Siro
see Isolde. (T5)

Siro
This tall Gotal served as a Lieutenant in the Galactic Alliance military, and was assigned as Captain Biurk's second-in-command aboard the Shamunaar during the Corellia-GA War. Lieutenant Siro was as surprised as Biurk was when Admiral Matric Klauksin arrived aboard the Shamunaar, but acceded to the Admiral wishes when Klauskin suggested that the ship's crew take part in a battle simulation to keep their skills sharp. Siro thought nothing was wrong when Klauskin commed him from the emergency bridge, where Biurk and Klauksin were supposedly overseeing the simulation, and explained that all communications were going to be cut off for a short period of time.

Thus, Siro was also unaware that Klauksin had murdered Captain Biurk and had blinded the GA forces to the escape of an actual Bothan fleet. Like the rest of the crew, Siro was suffocated when Klauskin then opened the rest of the ship to the vacuum of space, venting all the breathable air while keeping himself safe in the emergency bridge. (LF4)

Siroma
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)

Sirpar
This arid world, located in the Arkanis Sector, had a gravity which was 1.25 times heavier than standard, and was used by the Empire as an Army training post. It was the homeworld of the Eklaad race, and had an ecosystem that was filled with hardy flora and fauna. The Empire chose Sirpar for its varied terrain and environments, established eight distinct training centers. The heavy gravity made the Imperial trainees that much stronger, earning Sirpar a prominent place in Imperial circles. (SWJ2, SWMW)

Sirpar Hills
This was the name of the hillside country that surrounded the Anaxes Citadel, on the planet Anaxes. Most of the Sirpar Hills were covered with the estates of families whose members had provided generations of officers to the naval defense of the galaxy, both during the Old Republic and the New Order. In order to preserve the natural beauty of the landscape, motorized vehicles were forbidden within the borders of the Sirpar Hills. Most residents maintained stables of keffi, which they rode between Sirpar Station and their homes. (CCW)

Sirpar Station
This was the name given to the guardpost which protected the entrance to the Sirpar Hills, on the planet Anaxes. It was here that residents exchanged their landspeeders and groundcars for keffis, since motoroized vehicles of any kind were forbidden in Sirpar Hills. (CCW)

SirparSpeeder
Manufactured by the Azure Motorworks corporation, this quiet, low-emission speeder was developed with environmental requirements of Sirpar Hills and Pols Anaxes in mind. (CCW)

Sirplex
This small corporation manufactured shipboard shield projectors during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SCRE, TSC)

Sirrah, Mas
A native of the planet Corellia, this Imperial Inquisitor was a contemporary of Probus Tesla. Darth Vader assigned Mas Sirrah and Yral Chael to assist Tesla during the search for I-5YQ and Jax Pavan, but they were distracted by the presence of Kajin Savaros. Tesla hoped to capture the boy and bring him to Vader as a sort of gift, but the three Inquisitors were unprepared for Kajin's raw power. During an attempt to capture the boy, Sirrah separated from the others in order to eliminate Laranth Tarak. However, Kajin discovered his attack and used the Force to obliterate Sirrah. Tesla witnessed Sirrah's death, noting that Kajin had reduced the Inquisitor's body to ashes and utterly eliminating Sirrah's presence in the Force. (CN3)

Sirrakuk
This female Wookiee was Lowbacca's younger sister. Sirra, as she was known to her friends, was a free spirit who didn't want to conform to her family's idea of normal. She didn't resent her brother's ability with the Force, but she chafed at the idea of simply working in the local factories on Kashyyyk. In open defiance of her family's wishes, she shaved her fur in intricate patterns in order to make herself different from other Wookiees.

Sirra hoped that her parents would eventually realize her desires for an adventurous life. She wanted to spend her life among the stars, much like her uncle Chewbacca. She shared this dream with her best friend, Raabakyysh, who was herself an excellent pilot. Sirra was shaken by the disappearance of Raaba, who was never found after the young Wookiee tried to prove her adulthood by venturing into the lower jungles without assistance. Shortly afterward, Sirra decided that it was time to prove her own adulthood. Lowie returned to Kashyyyk to accompany her, but their plans were cut short by the Shadow Academy's raid on the Wookiee factories.

The Imperials succeeded in gaining essential computer and starship components used by the New Republic, but Lowie and Sirra had their own success. They battled the Nightsister Vonnda Ra in the depths of Kashyyyk's jungles, and both Sirra and Vonnda Ra fell into the clutches of a syren plant. With the help of Jacen Solo and Tenel Ka, Lowie managed to rescue his sister before the plant captured her. Vonnda Ra was eaten by the plant, but not before Sirra managed to obtain some of the tough, silky fibers from the plant's interior. Thus, she had proved her bravery to Lowie and her parents, and was recognized as an adult for her bravery.

Many months later, Sirra was among the multitude of Wookiees who were surprised when Raaba suddenly reappeared on Kashyyyk. Although she hated the fact that Lowbacca had kept Raaba's plans a secret, Sirra was quite happy to see that her friend was still alive. However, Raaba had changed, and was promoting the ideals and goals of the Diversity Alliance. Sirrakuk struggled to balance her experience with humans and Raaba's desire to carryout Nolaa Tarkona's plans. She agreed to accompany Raaba and Lowbacca on a mission to locate, and Sirra and her brother were welcomed into the Diversity Alliance headquarters on the planet Ryloth. (DK, DIV, DOG, TEP)

Sirrus
This man was one of the Jedi Masters assigned to the task force which was dispatched to liberate the planet Jabiim from Separatist force, during the height of the Clone Wars. Master Sirrus and his Padawan, Aubrie, were kept near the front lines to help ensure the health and safety of the Republic's forces. (RBJ)

Sirty
This was the nickname used by the ARC trooper designated CT-36/732, during the height of the Clone Wars. During the height of the Clone Wars, trooper CT-36/732 was the first of his kind to face a JK-series security droid in combat, although it was in a demonstration at the T'Chuk Arena on Coruscant. Sirty was soundly defeated by the droid, known as JK-13, which captured him after a mere twenty seconds of effort. Sirty suffered little physical damage, although his nervous system was overloaded, causing an irregular heart beat for several hours. His experiences earned him the notice of the ARC trooper known as Nate, who was forming a group to accompany Obi-Wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto to Ord Cestus to investigate the production of the JK-series droids. Nate recognized the knowledge Sirty might have, and requested his presence on the team. Sirty helped Kit Fisto and Nate train the commandos of the Desert Wind terrorist group, and was among the survivors who managed to escape their lair when Asajj Ventress sent a group of infiltration droids to destroy them. When Nate's body was not recovered, they feared that Nate had been killed, or had broken the Code and betrayed them all in the first place. (TCD)

Sirut
When translated into Basic, this Ewok word meant "door." (GPB)

Sisar Run
This hyperspace trade route was controlled by Sprax and Black Sun during the Galactic Civil War. The Run cut through the heart of the Periphery, linking Tharin Sector with Hutt Space. It ran along the borders of Hutt space, a situation which led to animosity between the vigos Sprax and Durga. It started at Nwarcol Point, where it connected with the Salin Corridor, then traveled through Sriluur to Terman Station before terminating at Sespe. (SSR)

Sisar Runners
This group of resistance fighters sprang up during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Led by the male Hutt known as Embra, the Sisar Runners harrassed the alien invaders from a number of secret locations along the Sisar Run. (UF)

Sisar Terminal
Another name for Nwarcol Point. (SSR)

Sish
This was one of the more common, albeit archaic, names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "swims through fire", and referred to an ancient Trandoshan test of courage and endurance. (GCG)

Si-shae-ral
This was one of the many Eickarie tribes native to the planet Kariek, during the height of the New Republic. The Si-shae-ral was one of the strongest and most influential tribes, having produced some of the more prominent leaders in Eickarie history. Just before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Ha-ran was revealed to be a Prince of the tribe, nominally the leader of his people. (FB)

Sisk
The red dwarf star which was the primary sun for the planet Sisk, it was once a large orange star that underwent a partial atomic collapse. This caused the normally lush planet of Sisk to cool, reducing it to a barren, cold world. (GG4)

Sisk
A planet which was home to the Sic-six race, Sisk was the primary planet orbiting the star Sisk. It was a lush, warm world until the star Sisk suffered a partial atomic collpase. The planet was then rapidly cooled, and most of its natural flora and fauna died out. (GG4)

Siskeen
This planet, located in the Outer Rim Territories, was the site of a Separatist research facility during the height of the Clone Wars. (RT)

Siskili
see Sass Sikili (LF9)

Sisquoc
This Samuac graduated from the Galactic Outdoor Survival School before joining the Alliance as a scout and tracker. His wilderness skills eventually earned him a promotion to the rank of Major, shortly before the Battle of Hoth, at which time he also assumed command of Eclipse Team. He later served the Alliance at the Suolriep Sector headquarters on his homeworld of New Kisge, serving as an instructor and field agent. (AIR, OWS)

Sissalik
This Mon Calamari starship pilot and former oceanographer was enslaved by an Imperial officer named Farvakine and forced to work on the planet Tatooine during the height of the New Order. In order to avoid dying from dehydration, Sissalik - known to his friends as "Slick" - killed his master by slowly adding a poison created from chubas to his personal water supply, and set out on his own. His escape from Tatooine led him to Ando, where he slowly recovered from the variety of health problems he suffered in Tatooine's dry climate. He eventually took a job working on the Nanda's Luck, despite the obstacles he faced as a Mon Calamarian. He proved to be a hard-working, loyal addition to the crew, attributes which bore themselves out when the Pirate Queen of Ando herself, Pyash Yopayomba, attacked the Nanda's Luck. She offered the vessel's Captain, Bipopa Bogzider, a chance to have the vessel repair in exchange for his surrender. Captain Bippi grudgingly surrendered, at which point Yopayomba cut off his head. She forced Sissalik to go to work for her as the new Captain of the Nanda's Luck, growling that nobody who worked for her ever surrendered, no matter what the situation. Sissalik once again found himself an indentured servant, as well as the unwitting accomplice in a grand scheme. Yopayomba had been led to believe that the Imperial governor of Ando would pay her handsomely for starting a civil war between the Aquala and the Quara, a war which the Empire could use to fully subjugate the Aqualish. Her plans failed, though, when Sissalik reprogrammed the autopilot on the Nanda's Luck, ramming the ship into Pyash's own flagship, the Majestic. All hands on board, including Sissalik himself, were killed in the explosion. (PH)

Sissk
A group of Trandoshans, the Sissk were the primary builders of the Stouker concussion rifle. All such weapons were hand-built. (DF)

Sissk, Wif
This was a noted individual from Anomid history. (UANT)

Sissubo
This ball of frozen rock was the seventh and outermost planet of the Chandrila System. It was orbited by a single moon. (CCW)

Sistek, Nogo
This Corellian scout and information dealer worked from a base on the planet Darlyn Boda during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was known for his encyclopedic knowledge of the hideaways and boltholes found in the Greater Javin area of the galaxy, and was often approached by beings who needed a place to hide to escape from the law. He willingly took their credits and gave them excellent information, but he made no guarantees that he wouldn't sell information on their whereabouts after six months had passed. It was believed that Sistek provided information on the locations of both Salmakk and Clabburn the Younger for Figg Excavations. When a group of freelance agents began sniffing for clues on the reappearance of Salmakk and Clabburn, Sistek provided only minimal information before he was murdered by FiggEx goons. As he died, he gave the agents the name of Barseth Gynes as his contact at FiggEx. (WOA34)

Sister
This was a familiar term used by the natives of the planet JanFathal to describe a female friend or associate. (CWNOP)

Sisterhood of the Beatific Countenance
This religious order, based on the planet Lorrd, was formed by female Lorrdians who chose to lead a sheltered life, away from the high-technology of the modern galaxy. Their faces and bodies were heavily tattooed with the words of the scriptures of the Sisterhood. In order to hide their tattooes from other beings, sisters wore full-body robes of blood-red material, completely covering their bodies, and special masks that covered their faces. This religion was one of two branches of Vianism in the galaxy, formed to honor and respect one of the two primary aspects of the goddess Via. (SWDB, OWS)

Sisterhood of the Glorious Radiance
One of the oldest religions in the known galaxy, the Sisterhood of the Glorious Radiance was a branch of Vianism, and was founded during the centuries that followed the Great Sith War. The Sisterhood of the Glorious Radiance formed one of two main branches of the Vianism religiou, which was believed to have started among the Zhell and Seoulian civilizations. Like their cousins in the Sisterhood of the Beatific Countenance, the members of ths Sisterhood were distinguished by their tattoos, which were created from the words of their scriptures. Because these tattoos were quite extensive, many Sisters worre robes and masks when in the presence of outsiders, to hide their true identity. The Sisterhood of the Glorious Radiance was formed to honor one aspect of Via's being, the Glorious Radiance that connected Via to all forms of life in the galaxy, and eventually became the largest group of Vianists in the galaxy. During the years following the Great Sith War, groups of beings who were turned away by the Jedi Order came to accept the fact that the Glorious Radiance was similar in some respects to the Force, since it was described as a form of energy that connected Via to all life in the galaxy. During the Kanz Disorders, these beings and others who had no connection to the Force banded together to form the Sisterhood, which secretly worked with various refugee groups to help them cope with the loss of their homes. Those Sisters who were Force-sensitive used their skills to sense the needs of individual refugees, while other Sisters were taught to reach body language in order to connect with the refugees. Over time, the Sisterhood made connections with enslaved beings, and taught them ways to secretly communicate with each other, despite the watchful eyes of their Myrialite masters. Because the Sisters were part of an Argazdan religion, the Myrialites could take no direct punitive action against them. Eventually, though, the Sisterhood was banished to the moon Lorrd II by Myrial herself, who suspected that the Sisters were working to stage rebellions on Argazdan-held worlds. The Sisterhood was later freed by Revanchist forces during the Mandalorian Wars, and it was said that the Revanchist himself led the assault, hoping to acquire Lorrdian gemstones in the process. The Revanchists believed that the Force-sensitive Sisters imbued the gemstones with the Force, creating gems that would make excellent focusing crystals for lightsabers. However, few of these gems existed, and the Revanchist forces eventually left empy-handed. The Sisterhood of the Glorious Radiance left Lorrd behind during the remainer of the Kanz Disorders, but they eventually returned aboard the Deejo's Aura to help the Lorrdians rebuild their lives after the Myrialites were finally defeated. (OWS)

Sisters of the Crimson Mark
Founded by the Aquar known as Vilhona, this band of female Aquar dedicated themselves to disrupting the operations of Nexcore Mining Corporation on the planet Velusia. Vilhona herself had been summarily fired and dumped into the lowest levels of Mount Hollow when it was discovered that NMC had tried to monopolize the mining of Velusia's seas, and Vilhona knew too much to keep her around. The Sisters rose up, opposing NMC's abuse of the Aquar people and its control of Velusia. Most of their crimes were small, but over time they began to cause real trouble for NMC. (CCW)

Sistra Mountain
A mountain found on Yavin 8, Sistra had an almost religious connotation for the Melodies. (LW)

Sistros
This noted demagogue, from the early years of the Old Republic, was a member of the Four Sages of Dwartii. (VD2, SWCL)

Sitaela Fighters
This paramilitary band of soldiers and fighter pilots worked for the Dark Veil Order, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWGAL)

Site Odryn
This was the codename used by the members of The Covenant to describe the Sanctum of the Exalted, which had been usurped by Jedi Master Feln to serve as a storage facility for recovered Sith artifacts. (KOR8)

Sith
This ancient race of insect-like humanoids was native to the planet Korriban, and was isolated from the rest of the Old Republic for many millennia. The history of the Sith race can be traced back to a point 100,000 years or more before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. As a race, they were characterized by dark, red skin, cranial horns, and long bony chins. There were several subspecies of Sith, each with its own place in their society. Some were slaves, other were warriors, and the highest caste of all were the magicians. Because they lived in a remote sector of the ancient galaxy, the Sith were unknown to the rest of the galaxy until a group of Jedi outcasts discovered their existence. In the wake of the Hundred-Year Darkness, these so-called Dark Jedi were banished from the Old Republic and the Jedi Order for their desire to learn more about the Dark Side of the Force, and chose to flee across the galaxy rather than be persecuted.

Going well beyond the Republic's borders, the Dark Jedi were drawn to Korriban. The Sith who were native to the plabet regarded the Dark Jedi as gods. The Force-sensitive Sith magicians proved to have control over the Dark Side of the Force, and the outcast Jedi took many of their tomes and teachings for further study. Over the millennia, the two groups intermingled, until very little pure Sith blood remained. As a race, the Sith developed a rigid hierarchy of magicians and warriors, with the leadership of the brotherhood falling to the current Dark Lord of the Sith. The Sith wrote expansive volumes on the control and use of the Dark Side, and described incredible manifestations of power. Later, they were able to created amulets and weaponry that could assist the user in controlling the Dark Side. These devices amplified the Dark Side, making the user incredibly powerful.

Much of the Sith lore was hidden on various worlds when the ancient Jedi Knights first sought to eradicate the Sith. Some was stored on Korriban, some on the moon of Yavin 4. The last remained true-blooded Sith were wiped out by Exar Kun during the Great Sith War, when he stole their life energy in an effort to defend his fortress on Yavin 4 against the forces of the Old Republic. (E4, DA, FNU, DLS, TSW, GAS, FOSE, NEGW, SWDB, EGF)

Sith
This ancient brotherhood of Jedi Knights split from the ranks of the "lightsiders" when access to the ancient Sith lore was forbidden. It was believed that there were followers of the Dark Side of the Force well before the formation of the Jedi Knights, predating the Jedi Order by as much as 1,000 years, but much of the supporting evidence was little more than oncjecture. The Jedi Council feared that the knowledge of harnessing the Dark Side of the Force would be twisted and used to perform many evil acts. The so-called Dark Jedi fled the Republic and established themselves on Korriban, where they learned a great deal about the Dark Side of the Force from the natives, who called themselves the Sith. The two groups shared information and interbred, until the term Sith became synonymous with the Dark Side of the Force. The ancient Sith brotherhood was believed to have been defeated during the Great Sith War, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. The Galactic Senate even went so far as to outlaw the practice of the Sith arts, after Darth Revan and Darth Malak nearly destroyed the galaxy. However, adherents to their teachings continued to grow and prosper beyond the control of either the Jedi Order or the Old Republic.

The modern Sith brotherhood was founded some 2,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, by a rogue Jedi Knight who yearned to learn more of the Dark Side of the Force. Together with about 50 followers, this rogue fled the Old Republic and established his own Sith order. With galactic domination on their agenda, these new Sith Lords quickly became distrustful of each other and abusive of their dark side powers. In a short time, they had nearly wiped themselves out again. One Sith Lord remained, a man by the name of Darth Bane. He swore that the Sith would never again vanish from the galaxy, but also made certain that they never grew beyond their means. He established a rigid code by which there could only be a single Sith Lord and a single Sith apprentice. When the Lord finally expired, or was murdered in his sleep, his current apprentice was promoted and allowed to take his own student.

In silent humiliation of the Jedi Order, the Sith continued to use a lightsaber as their primary weapon, using synthetic crystals that produced a red blade. Darth Bane's Rule of Two offended many other Sith Lords, but these splinter groups invariably wiped themselves out before becoming a threat to his power. The pairing of Master and Apprentice continued for many centuries, and served to keep the Sith hidden from not only the Jedi Order, but from the galaxy in general. Most beings in the galaxy had little knowledge of the Sith, and few beings knew of their potential threat, including members of the Galactic Senate. This began to change after Darth Plagueis rose to power. Plagueis was one of the most powerful Sith Masters, and was believed to have found a way to control the midi-chlorians. It was said that he could manipulate them into creating life. However, after learning of this power, Plagueis's own apprentice, Darth Sidious, chose to kill his Master and take his rightful place as Sith Lord.

Sidious then took Darth Maul as his apprentice, and hoped to take control of the galaxy by bringing the Old Republic down from the inside. The slow build-up of Sith power had begun to occlude the Light Side, and the Jedi Order was unaware of the growing threat of the Sith. When Darth Maul was destroyed by Obi-Wan Kenobi during the Battle of Naboo, Sidious' plans were briefly thwarted. However, he found the charismatic former Jedi, Count Dooku, to be a worthy replacement. Just a few years later, Sidious revealed to Anakin Skywalker that he was also Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, and it a series of deft maneuvers, he destroyed the Jedi Order and established Darth Vader as his new apprentice. Interestingly enough, during the era of the New Order, many beings believed that both the Jedi Order and the Sith were extinct, in the wake of the Clone Wars.

Vader, whose former identity as Anakin Skywalker placed him in the center of a Jedi prophecy as the Chosen One, should have destroyed Sidious and taken his place as Sith Master. However, the injuries he suffered at the hands of Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar left him unable to gain more power than Sidious. In fulfillment of the prophecy of the Chosen One, Vader chose to return to the Light Side of the Force before killing Sidious during the Battle of Endor. Following the deaths of Vader and Palpatine at the Battle of Endor, and with the destruction of Palpatine's clones on Byss, the order of the Sith was believed to have been exterminated. This, coupled with the fact that the Jedi Order had been destroyed years before, finally brought the Force back into balance, as the final act of the Jedi prophecy.

Interestingly enough, it was the Sith who realized that the Force was more than just light and dark, and that a complete understanding of the Force could not be achieved without embracing both aspects as a single entity. Although their ultimate use of the Force was evil, the Sith were perhaps closer to a true union with the Force than the Jedi Order of the time. (E4, E1, E1N, DSSB, LEV, SWDB, RDV, DBPD, DSTR, CWWS)

Sith
This was the ancient language of the extinct Sith race, and was spoken mainly on the planet Korriban. (EGP)

Sith
This was the name used to describe any creature which had been altered by Sith rituals and magicks into something hideous and terrifying. These creatures were bred from naturally-evolved stock, but were heavily tainted by the Dark Side of the Force. (TOJC)

Sith Abattar
This unusual amulet was discovered on the planet Dathomir during the era of the New Republic. The center of the amulet was surrounded by six triangular wedges made from an unknown metal, and the entire abattar hung from a thin, silver chain. When worn around the neck, the abattar felt exceptionally heavy for its size, but it gave the wearer the ability to communicate in any language. Over a short period of time, however, the wearer became weak and unable to remove the abattar. If the device was not taken from the user's neck, there was a good chance they would die. Records showed that the abattar was among the many Sith artifacts that were aboard the Jedi training vessel Chu'unthor when it crashed onto Dathomir. (GORW)

Sith Academy
This was the name given to the training facility established by the Sith on the planet Korriban, during the build-up to the Great Sith War. The facility continued to operate during the war, producing multitudes of soldiers and warriors imbued with the Dark Side of the Force. In the wake of the Great Sith War, the Korriban academy and many other such facilities were destroyed, as the Galactic Senate deemed it illegal to use the Sith arts. However, the members of the True Sith eventually returned to Korriban, and the Dark Council ordered the reconstruction of the Sith Academy and its many training facilities. The warriors and acolytes that were trained there were instrumental in the Sith's efforts during the Great Galactic War and the years of Sith control that followed. When the Brotherhood of Darkness rose to power, it began re-establishing the idea of the Sith Academy. Satellite facilities on planets like Gamorr and Honoghr trained those individuals with limited ability, while others with more promise were sent to Ryloth and Umbara. Eventually, the Sith Academy on Korriban was also reformed, under the guidance of Lord Qordis, several years prior to the Battle of Ruusan. (KOTOR, DBPD, SWORW)

Sith Alchemy
This was the term used to describe the elemental use of the Dark Side of the Force that was practiced by the original Sith race, and which was later passed on to the Exiles who arrived on Korriban in the wake of the Hundred-Year Darkness. Sith alchemy operated at the molecular level, allowing the user to change the basic composition of a living being or to alter inanimate material. Knowledge of the techniques used in Sith alchemy were passed down through generations of Sith, until Naga Sadow collected this knowledge and stored it in a Sith holocron. After Sadow's death during the Great Hyperspace War, all knowledge of Sith alchemy was believed to have been lost along with the holocron, until it was rediscovered by Darth Sidious. Sidious took much of this knowledge and used it in the writing of The Creation of Monsters, but it was unknown what became of the holocron in the wake of Sidious's death at the Battle of Endor. (EGF)

Sith Archives
This hidden storehouse of knowledge was the repository of all information known to the Sith. It was formed shortly after Darth Bane established the Sith brotherhood. (JDM)

Sith Arts Academy
This training facility was established by the Dark Jedi who controlled the planet Thule. (GORW)

Sith Assassin Pistol
This ancient blaster weapon was developed by the Sith as a tool for dispatching an opponent without revealing one's true identity until absolutely necessary. The power output of the pistol can be regulated to cause a quick or lingering death, depending on the desire of the Sith using it. These weapons were common during the era of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)

Sith Assault Gun
This was a specially-created blaster carbine that was imbued with the Dark Side of the Force by the ancient Sith, during the decades leading up to the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)

Sith Battle Cruiser
This immense, 215-meter-long warship was developed by the ancient Sith Empire to serve as the flagship of its naval fleets. Each Battle Cruiser was armed with six blaster cannons and three concussion missile launchers, and required a crew of 25 officers and gunners to operate. It could transport up tp 850 troopers and 5,000 metric tons of cargo, and was equipped with a Class-4 hyperdrive. (DSSB)

Sith Battlelords
According to information that appeared on the Cularin System's HoloNet nodes during the height of the Clone Wars, the Sith Battlelords were created by Darth Rivan on Almas, thousands of years earlier. Darth Rivan supposedly created the battlelords to oversee the training of Sith warriors, and to instill fear in his enemies. These impartial beings brooked no insubordination, not from the warriors themselves and not from their superior officers. Each battlelord was psychically connected to the warriors and officers under their command, and could use the Dark Side of the Force to demand compliance in one or all of their charges. Rumors held that the battlelords were first created and tested on Almas because of its remote location. In an arcane ritual, a battlelord candidate was laid out on an altar and cut open. The blood was allowed to flow from their body, while a Sith Lord uttered incantations and their subordinate troops marched through the pool of blood. In this way, if the candidate survived the rest of the process, the troops were bound to the battlelord. In order to ensure complete loyalty, the magic involved in the creation of a battlelord gave him or her the ability to transfer any pain they felt to one of their troops. This not only ensured that the troops didn't try to kill their battlelord, but it also ensured that they fought with all their energy to protect the battlelord during combat. Although Darth Rivan managed to perfect the entire creation process, he was betrayed by his apprentice before he could create more than a few battlelords. (LFCW)

Sith Chalice
This was the term used to describe any form of chalice or urn that was used as an incense burner during certain Sith rituals. (SWCL)

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

Sith Citadel
This massive temple was constructed by the ancient Sith on the planet Ziost, many millennia before the Hundred-Year Darkness. When Ziost was plunged into an ice age, the planet's surface was covered with ice and snow, and the Sith Citadel was one of the few structures that survived. The Exiles who became the first Dark Lords of the Sith later discovered the Sith Citadel, and used it as their central headquarters. (EGF)

Sith Civil War
This was the term used by many historians to describe the internal struggles within the Sith brotherhood, in the wake of the Great Sith War and the so-called Second Sith War. It was believed that the Sith had been eradicated during the Great Hunt, but their numbers were sufficient to cause trouble for the Jedi Order. As they regained power and were able to eliminate a large portion of the Jedi, the Sith once again turned their aggression inward, with three Sith Lords vying for control. Darth Sion, Darth Treya, and Darth Nihilus were ultimately defeated by the Exile and his Jedi companions, putting an end to the Sith Civil War. Note that this corresponds in time with the so-called Jedi Civil War. (UVG, NECH)

Sith Code
This was another name for the Code of the Sith. (EGF)

Sith Dark Council
This was another name for the Dark Council that supported the Sith Emperor, during the era of the Great Galactic War. (SWORW)

Sith Destroyer
This immense battleship was developed for the naval forces of the Brotherhood of the Sith, during the years leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. (DBPD)

Sith Elite Warbot
These combat droids were developed by the ancient Sith to serve as part of their ground-based armies. Individual Elite warbots were used for both training and active combat, with stun blaster and stun batons used on training versions. Full combat versions were armed with a blaster pistol mounted on each arm, and carried a Sith sword as a melee weapon. The armor of the Elite warbot was alchemically treated, giving it additional protection in combat. Unfortunately, they were very expensive to produce, and never found widespread use in the army. Like most other ancient Sith droids, most of the Elite warbots disappeared after the Great Hyperspace War. (GMR5)

Sith Empire
This was the term used to describe the sector-spanning empire that was formed by those former Jedi who were exiled from the Old Republic in the wake of the Hundred-Year Darkness. These Jedi fled into the farthest reaches of the galaxy, and eventually encountered the Sith race. The ancient Sith revered the Force users as demigods, allowing the exiles to rise to power and draw on the Dark Side energies of the planets in Sith Space to expand their influence. Because these Force users fled in such a hurry, they lost all navigational data that might have allowed them to return to the Old Republic, and so for many centuries the Sith Empire was completely cut off from the rest of the galaxy.

As the Sith Empire grew, the Jedi exiles interbred with the Sith, creating a new race of beings that had stronger and stronger connections to the Dark Side of the Force. The Sith Empire reached its height some 5,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, when Marka Ragnos ruled the Sith. Over 120 planets were ruled by the ancient Sith, including Korriban, Ziost, and Dromund Kaas. With Ragnos' death, however, the infighting that was controlled by his leadership exploded into open conflict, as Ludo Kressh and Naga Sadow vied for control of the Sith Empire. Naga Sadow tried to expand the Sith Empire when Jori and Gav Daragon stumbled into Sith Space, providing him with hyperroutes back to the Old Republic. The upheaval that followed culminated in the Great Hyperspace War, which brought the Sith Empire to its knees and forced the Sith to retreat to their original collection of planets.

Although most of the galaxy believed that the Sith Empire had been soundly defeated - and, perhaps, even eliminated - one Sith Lord managed to escape from the fighting and flee into the Unknown Regions. There, this Sith Lord used ancient magic to keep himself alive for more than a millennia, while he rebuilt the Sith Empire from the ground up. This Sith Lord eventually captured the planet Korriban, and created the center of the Sith Empire there. Some 3,681 years before the Battle of Yavin, this Sith Lord launched a new series of attacks on the Old Republic, setting off the Great Galactic War. The Sith were once again defeated, and forced to retreat to Korriban. As a distinct entity, the Sith Empire remained out of the galactic view for several millennia, although the followers of Darth Bane's Rule of Two exerted their own power at various times the death of Emperor Palpatine at the Battle of Endor. In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong War, a group of Sith began to assert themselves from Korriban, when Lumiya tried to groom Jacen Solo to become the next Dark Lord of the Sith. Solo was eventually killed before he could restore the Sith to power, but the surviving Sith on Korriban continued to grow in power. Under the command of Darth Krayt, this new Sith Empire eventually defeated the Galactic Alliance and subjugated the New Empire of Roan Fel, and once again established the Sith as the primary power in the galaxy. (GAS, FOSE, NECH, EGF, SWORW, SWLH)

Sith Familiar
This was the generic term used to describe any creature that was kept as a companion by a Force-sensitive practitioner of the Sith arts. A familiar could be found by an individual who could sense its presence in the world-at-large, but could also be created by a strong individual who had access to the instructions found in a Sith holocron. Often, the familiar took the form of a scavenger bird. The primary function of the familiar was to help the Sith user channel the Dark Side of the Force, combining their connections to allow the user to draw on more power. (UA)

Sith Fighter
This was the term used to describe the unusual starfighters that were created within the Star Forge for use by the Sith, during the Great Sith War. The drive systems of the Sith Fighter were a hybrid of technologies from the Rakata and the Old Republic, and were based on a twin ion engine design that provided incredible amounts of thrust and maneuverability. This combination required that the fuselage and auxiliary systems of the Sith Fighter be greatly enhanced, to overcome the instability that speed and maneuverability created. When docked or cruising, the Sith Fighter could retract its wings and power down its weapons, conserving energy for later consumption. In combat, the wings were spread open to provide maneuverability and a wider dsitribution of weapons. The weaponry of the Sith Fighter included a blaster cannon at each wingtip. (SWDB)

Sith Gunship
This 75-meter-long attack craft was the primary warship of the ancient Sith naval fleet. Armed with six autoblasters can capable of carrying 30 troops into battle, the Sith Gunship was built for speed and maneuverability. These ships required a dedicated crewof eighteen Sith warriors, can could also carry up to 250 metric tons of cargo. (GMR5)

Sith Hall
This section of the ancient Galactic Museum on Coruscant contained a wealth of artifacts and texts which were used by the Sith Empire. These artifacts were created by the original Sith species, many of which died out after the fall of the Sith Empire 1,000 years before the Great Sith War. (TOJC)

Sith Heavy Assault Droid
This form of battle droid was developed for used by the ancient Sith Lords, during the era of the Jedi Civil War. Resembling a four-legged insect, the Sith heavy assault droid moved about on four jointed legs, each of which ended in a sharp point. The main body of the droid was quite small, consisting of a platform to which the legs were mounted and a single column that supported the droid brain and its weapons systems. (SWMW)

Sith Holocron
This form of storage device was similar in most repsects to any other holocron, although it was generally believed that all Sith Holocrons were shaped like four-sided pyramids. This shape mimicked that of the greatest Sith temples found throughout the galaxy, a shape that served to channel and focus the power of the Dark Side of the Force. It was unknown how many Sith Holocrons were created, although many Jedi scholars believed that one a single Sith Holocron was ever created. It was considered the most comprehensive repository of Dark Side lore during the era of the Great Sith War. It was captured by Jedi Master Odan-Urr in a starship in orbit around Koros Major. Master Odan-Urr discovered that the Sith Holocron had been updated many times since its creation, although not in the normal techniques known to the Jedi. Odan-Urr came to believe that the Sith Holocron could be updated through supernatural powers, but never discovered what these powers might be.

The Sith Holocron was later stolen by Exar Kun. In the wake of the Great Sith War, the Sith Holocron was thought to have been lost forever, although there were reports that Darth Revan had obtained it and carried it to The Unknown World. Revan hid the Sith Holocron in the Rakatan Temple, where it laid for nearly 3,000 years before it was discovered by Darth Bane, just prior to the Battle of Ruusan. Bane was able to extract a good deal of information from the device before it gave out. To ensure that no being could ever recover the information stored inside, Darth Bane crushed the Sith Holocron with the Force, rendering it little more than dust. It was only after hearing Revan's words that Bane discerned the future of the Sith, and devised the Rule of Two as the basis for the new Sith order. (UVG, DBPD, EGF)

Sith Hound
This mutated canine was developed by the ancient Sith warriors from stock native to the planet Korriban. These hounds were alchemically enhanced, giving them increased size and strength, as well as a collection of horns and vicious teeth. The brain of the Sith Hound was also increased in size and intelligence, and they were rumored to have had the ability to speak limited amounts of the ancient Sith languages. These beasts were black in color, with a mane of bony spikes surrounding their heads. Their glowing, red eyes sat atop a fearsome snout, and their huge paws were studded with razor-sharp claws. (DSSB, RSS)

Sith Infiltrator
One of Sienar Advanced Projects Laboratories' prototype designs, this ship was eventually modified for use by Darth Maul. Note that Starships of the Galaxy - Saga Edition indicates that the Sith Infiltrator was produced by Sienar Design Systems. Originally designed from the Star Courier platform, the 26.5-meter-long Infiltrator was given advanced weaponry, propulsion systems, and a full-effect stygium-based cloaking device for invisibility on command. The sublight engines were X-C 2 ion arrays, while the hyperdrive was an SSDS 11-A powerplant. Weapons included six prototype laser cannons which were concealed along the side of the craft, and which could be deployed in seconds.

The craft had a long, main fuselage to which was attached the ball-shaped control center aft. The wings of the craft were used to radiator the intense heat of its engines, and could be folded down during landings. The designs of the control center and the wings were later incorporated into the TIE Advanced prototype produced for Darth Vader. It was unclear whether Darth Maul named his ship the Scimitar, or if the term "Scimitar" was a codename for the development of this vessel. It could attain speeds of 1,180 kilometers per hour in atmosphere, and was equipped with a Class 3 hyperdrive.

After the Battle of Naboo, the Scimitar disappeared, and its whereabouts were never discovered. It was later revealed that the ship had been obtained by Saesee Tiin, who had traveled to Naboo on orders from the Jedi Council to recover the ship. Master Tiin reported that he believed the Sith Infiltrator was "alive with the dark side", and was equipped with a variety of Sith technologies. Master Tiin's investigation also revealed that the ship should have self-destructed upon Darth Maul's death, but the ship remained on Naboo. The ship was to have been transported to Kuat, but it disappeared in transit. It was later learned that Darth Sidious managed to take possession of the ship, to keep it hidden and ready if he needed a stealthy transport. It was believed that Sidious had all the designers who worked on the ship executed, to keep its existence a secret. (X1, DSSB, IG1, NEGV, EGF, SSOG)

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

Sith Interceptor
This vicious-looking starfighter was developed for the naval forces of the ancient Sith Empire, more than 3,900 years before the Battle of Yavin. Resembling an avian predator in flight, the Sith Interceptor has a cylindrical main fuselages that was attached to a pair of pointed wings. These wings were kept away from the fuselage by long struts, and extended both forward and backward from their mounting points. The rearward section was a triangular maneuvering vane, while the forward section ended with a laser cannon at the tip.

Because they were quite fragile and easily destroyed in a dogfight, the Sith Interceptor was manufactured and deployed in great numbers, and it was not uncommon to see a swarm of Sith Interceptors attack and overwhelm an enemy force through sheer numbers. It was a common tactic to deploy ten of these ships to every one enemy starfighter. (SSOG)

Sith Lanvarok
This wrist-worn weapon was used by the ancient Sith warriors. Derived from the ancient lanvarok polearm, the Sith lanvarok was extremely complicated to use, and favored those users who were left-handed because of its configuration. The firing mechanism was mounted on the left side of the weapon, with the firing stud in a position to be pushed by the left thumb. The Sith lanvarok was originally developed as a hunting weapon, and fired a spread of thin, razor-edged disks at its target. It was time-consuming to reload, but deadly accurate at short range. A more primitive version of this weapon was used by the Massassi warriors of Yavin 4, which resembled a polearm and required brute strength to throw the disks. After being used to launch the disk, the Massassi lanvarok could also be used as a slashing weapon. Both forms of the lanvarok were little-used after the Great Hyperspace War, as the Sith began to use more modern weaponry. (BW, MJEH, DSSB, NEGW, WOTC)

Sith Lightning
This was another term used to describe Force Lightning. This term was based on the fact that only Dark Jedi and Sith used the technique. (RFDV)

Sith Lords
This was the title adopted by the Exiles who were forced to leave the Jedi Order, and ended up on the planet Korriban, during the era of the Hundred-Year Darkness. The title stemmed from the fact that the Dark Jedi were able to use their connection to the Force to assume control of the native Sith people, who worshipped them as gods. Over time, this title became Dark Lords of the Sith. (EGF)

Sith Mammoth
This immense beast was developed by the ancient Sith as a warbeast. Sith warriors rode atop the huge beasts, to be carried into battle. (GMR5)

Sith Marauder
This was the second-lowest rank given to the members of the Brotherhood of Darkness, more than a millennium before the Battle of Endor. These loyal individuals had a limited connection to the Force, and were trained as Sith Warriors to channel their emotions into a mindless, raging battle fury. To the Sith Marauder, the Force was nothing more than a way to express their incredible mastery of their martial arts. Through the use of the Dark Side of the Force, Sith Lords could further transform these individuals into weapons of destruction that were unleashed against the Jedi Knights and the soldiers of the Old Republic. (DBPD, SWMW)

Sith Mask
This unusual mask was created by the ancient Sith, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. It was imbued with the Dark Side of the Force, and was worn to block outside mental influence and sensory input, thereby allowing the wearer to focus their concentration without interruption. (KOTOR)

Sith Meditation Sphere
This was the name given to the unusual starships of the ancient Sith warlords, developed to help them channel their battle meditation techniques. First used by Naga Sadow some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, the Sith Meditation Sphere resembled a huge, floating eye that was propelled by huge wings. These wings were similar in appearance to the wings of a reptavian, with jointed "fingers" supporting a membranous webbing. Each Sith meditation sphere was capable of telepathic communication with its controller, allowing a Sith Lord to merely think about an action to have the sphere carry it out. By visualizing weapons systems, the Sith Lord could bring the meditation sphere's armament to bear on an enemy. By visualizing a planet or othre destination, the Sith Lord could direct the meditation sphere on where to go at any moment in time. In this way, the sphere could become attuned to the feelings of its owner, creating a link that was not unlike a homing beacon.

The interior of the sphere appeared to have been made from amber-colored volcanic rock, which seemed to be lit from within by smouldering fires. The exterior of the ship was similar in appearance, with a network of blood vessels just beneath the surface. A collection of orderly spikes studded the surface, seeming to point in the directions of a compass. The memory of each Sith Meditation Sphere was quite good, and each could remember events for thousands of years. The sphere that was discovered by Ben Skywalker on Ziost, and which was later taken in by Lumiya and called itself simply Ship, was quite confused when it awoke in a galaxy that was not teaming with Sith. (NEGV, LF5, LF6, FJ2)

Sith O' Lantern
This was one of the many decorations that were developed for the Galactic Moon Festival. (SWGAL)

Sith Oracle
This ancient site of Sith magic was located on the planet Korriban. The location of the oracle was lost over time, until Lumiya rediscovered it during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She studied at the Sith Oracle for several years, calling on the holocron of King Adas, and with its assistance she formed a plan to finally take control of the galaxy. (OWS)

Sith Order
This was the name of the ancient brotherhood of Force users who broke from the Jedi Order in order to explore the Dark Side of the Force. The Sith Order was based on Korriban, and was active until the era of the Great Hyperspace War. In the wake of the Old Republic's victory over the Sith Order, the Sith went into hiding, and emerged a millennia later as Exar Kun's Brotherhood of the Sith. (LF7)

Sith Order
This brotherhood of renegade Jedi rose to power more than 100 years after the Battle of Yavin. More like the ancient Brotherhood of the Sith than the Brotherhood of Darkness, the Sith Order was made up of those individuals who believed that the galaxy needed a single, focused entity to keep it from descending into chaos. Formed on Korriban, the Sith Order pointed to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy as the prime example of the problems that arose when the galaxy was led by ineffectual bodies like the New Republic. They claimed that the invasion could have been cut short, or avoided altogether, if the galaxy had been unified by a single force.

While it embraced the teachings of the Dark Lords of the Sith, the Sith Order did not adhere to the Rule of Two. Instead, it members were dedicated to the establishment and preservation of the Order itself. This new order was consolidated by Darth Krayt, who established the new Rule of One, with the One being the Sith Order itself. Under Darth Krayt's leadership, the Sith were allowed to flourish, believing that the in-fighting of the ancient Sith and the continual treachery of the Rule of Two could be overcome if all Sith were united in the preservation of the order.

It was Darth Krayt's vision that guided the new Sith Order, and his vision was based on the failings of both the Old Republic and the Galactic Alliance. Darth Krayt knew that a galaxy that had been truly united would have been able to repel the Yuuzhan Vong, but the Galactic Alliance had failed to simply impose its will upon the galaxy in order to bring it together. Thus, the Sith Order was founded on the premise that the Sith needed to not just rule the galaxy, but impose its will on the Force itself. In order to accomplish this, however, the Sith needed to be strong in numbers, which was why Darth Krayt abandoned the Rule of Two and developed the Rule of One. (OWS, SWLB, SWLC)

Sith Personnel Carrier
This ancient craft was developed by the Sith Empire, more than 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, to carry troops and smaller craft into battle. Very few of these ships survived the Great Hyperspace War, and those that did were quickly outdated. The 215-meter-long Personnel Carrier was armed with eight light laser cannons, and normal hull plating and shielding, with most of its protection coming from the Sith magic of its operators. It could transport up to 360 troops or 24 Sith Mammoths, and had space for 1,000 metric tons of war materiel. Each of these ships required a command crew of twelve Sith officers. When deploying troops or vehicles, the Personnel Carrier hovered in the atmosphere, using massive chains to lower troop containers to the ground. It was during the delivery or pick-up of troops that the Personnel Carrier was most vulnerable. Each of these troop containers could accommodate 60 troops, a Sith Slayer, or a War Behemoth. (GMR5)

Sith Poison
This was the term used to describe any poison or toxin that was created with Sith alchemy. Originally deeloped by the Sith race on Korriban, Sith poison was not simply a chemical toxin, but a disease that could be injected into the body of another Force-sensitive individual. This disease weakened an individual's ability to resist the Dark Side of the Force, and allowed the Dark Side to gradually consume the individual's life energy. It was said that in sufficient doses, a Dark Lord could not overcome the effects of Sith Poison. (EGF)

Sith Regenerator
This unusual cybernetic implant was developed by the ancient Sith, many millennia before the Battle of Yavin. The Regenerator stimulated cell replication in the user's body, allowing wounds to be healed quickly and easily. It was designed for use by spies operating behind enemy lines for extended periods, where medical treatment was not normally available. (KOTOR)

Sith Scorcher
This was one of the more popular mixed drinks served at The Glow Dome, on Adarlon, and was set afire before being served. (WSV)

Sith Scrolls
This set of hand-written parchment rolls contained some of the oldest known writings of the ancient Dark Lords of the Sith. The Sith Scrolls were recovered by Darth Sidious at some point during the final decades of the Old Republic, and were stored in environmentally-controlled display cases at the EmPal SuRecon facility on Coruscant. (SWCL)

Sith Sects
During the last decades of the Old Republic, this was the term used by the Jedi Council to describe the small groups of beings who tried to emulate the ancient Sith brotherhoods. Most of the members of these Sith Sects were not attuned in any way to the Force, but their anger and frustration with the galaxy led them to search out the Sith teachings. (JAF)

Sith Sentry
These ancient droids were developed for use in the Sith army as security guards and sentries, replacing organic beings. Each Sith Sentry was armed with an arm-mounted blaster rifle, and was often deployed in groups of six droids. (GMR5)

Sith Shadows
This group of Dark Siders was active during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Their base of power was consolidated on Dathomir, but their influence was felt on many worlds. (SWG2P)

Sith Slayer
This ancient Sith war droid was essentially a tank with a droid brain, although it was alchemically created by Sith magicians. The average Slayer was costly to produce, requiring a wealth of magical elements and alchemy techniques which were arduously molded over a long period of time. Measuring over twelve meters in height, the Sith Slayer was armed with two shoulder-mounted blaster cannons, and two spinning blades mounted on each arm. Like the Sith Elite warbot, the Slayer was protected by magical armor, giving it a measure of invulnerability which was lacking in organic warbeasts like the Sith Mammoth. (GMR5)

Sith Space
This was the name used to describe the original extent of the worlds that were controlled by the Sith race, just before the formation of the Sith Empire. (NECH)

Sith Speeder
This was a specialized, circular, one-man speeder developed for use by Darth Maul. Designed to be compact and fast, this speeder was built on the basis of the Razalon FC-20, resembling a circle with the upper arc removed. The rider sat in the concave section of the speeder, and had hand and foot controls with which to maneuver the speeder. This speeder was unarmed, something that was not a deficit for its rider due to their skills in the Dark Side of the Force. This speeder was also easily stored in the forward section of Maul's Infiltrator starship. (E1N, IG1, AEG)

Sith Starfighter
These bulbous fighters were developed for use in the ancient Sith naval fleet. Like the more modern TIE Fighter, the Sith Starfighter lacked a hyperdrive. It was armed with a triple blaster cannon, and was highly maneuverable.

During the years following the Clone Wars, the term "Sith starfighter" came to refer to the custom-built Eta-2 Actis starfighter that was commissioned by Darth Vader. The fighter was essentially the same ship that was produced for the Jedi Knights during the Clone Wars, but was painted black to match the Dark Lord's armor. The interior of the ship was also reconfigured to accommodate Vader's bulky form, allowing him to pilot the craft without restrictions to his personal maneuverability. (GMR5, SWDB)

Sith Sword
This was the name given to any bladed weapon that was once wielded by a member of the ancient Sith order. These swords were created with Sith alchemy and were imbued with the power of the Dark Side of the Force, making them particularly effective against the ancient lightsabers of the Jedi Knights. It was said that Sith swords could deflect blaster bolts, and that the blade itself served to focus the wielder's connection to the Force. Over time, this connection served to keep the blade of the Sith sword exceptionally sharp, making it a deadlier weapon as time passed. (JKAP, EGF)

Sith System
This was another name for the Horuset System, which contained the planet Korriban. (EGF)

Sith Talisman
This was the generic term used to describe any amulet that was created or altered by the use of Sith alchemy, and provided the wearer with a measuer of defense against blaster bolts, lightsabers, and even the Force. These Sith talismans were worn in addition to the dark armor of the Sith, to increase a warrior's ability to repel and defeat an enemy. (EGF)

Sith Temple
This was the massive temple that was erected by Darth Krayt and his new order of Sith Lords, in the wake of the Sith-Imperial War and the Massacre at Ossus. The Sith Temple was cosntructed on the foundation of the old Jedi Temple that had been built by the Galactic Alliance. (SWLC)

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

Sith Torture Mask
This ancient Sith mask was developed to completely cover a being's head, allowing only the eyes to see what was happening. The Sith placed the mask on their prisoners and captives, especially the Jedi Knights, in order to break them for questioning. The mask itself was unremarkable to behold, but was imbued with intense Dark Side energy, which made it impossible for a Jedi Knight wearing the mask to concentrate on using the Force for little more than basic survival. (RHF)

Sith Warbird
This was a form of organic lifeform which was twisted by Sith alchemies to perform a specific role for the armies of the ancient Sith. Most of these warbirds were naturally-occurring avians that stood more than six meters in height, and which had been altered to submit to the control of a Sith master. These creatures were fitted with a special harness that provided a saddle for a Sith warrior and a mounted blaster cannon as weaponry. A small fusion generator was also mounted on the harness to power the cannon. (GMR5, UA)

Sith Warrior
This was the lowest rank given to the members of the Brotherhood of Darkness, more than a millennium before the Battle of Endor. Those loyal individuals who had little or no connection to the Dark Side of the Force were trained as Sith Warriors, and taught to channel their emotions into a mindless, raging battle fury. Through the use of the Dark Side of the Force, Sith Lords could further transform these individuals into weapons of destruction that were unleashed against the Jedi Knights and the soldiers of the Old Republic. (DBPD)

Sith Warrior
This was the rank given to those minor Dark Lords who made up the front lines of the Sith Empire's military forces, during the era of the Great Galactic War. Unlike the Sith Warriors of future generations, these beings were well-trained in the use of the Force, and could draw upon the Dark Side to augment their own combat skills. Each Sith Warrior carried a red-bladed lightsaber as their primary weapon, and their bodies were protected by durable armor plating. (SWORW)

Sith Wars

Sith Wyrm
Originally created by Naga Sadow, this immense reptilian insect lived in a subterranean lair on the moon of Yavin 4. The ancient Massassi worshipped it as a god, until Exar Kun killed the beast in an effort to prove his worth to Freedon Nadd. The Sith Wyrm was originally an infant space slug which was captured and altered using Sith alchemy. The slug had attached itself to Naga Sadow's personal starship, and Sadow chose to keep the beast alive and use it in experiments in magical alteration of physical forms. Jedi historians believed that there was only one Sith Wyrm, as there was no record of another space slug being captured and altered in any way. (DSSB)

Sith'ari
This was the name used by the ancient Sith to describe a perfect being who would rise to power and bring balance to the Force. According to prophecy, the Sith'ari would rise up and destroy the Sith, but in the process would return to lead the Sith and make them stronger than ever before. According to the legends, the Sith'ari would find their strength during the heat of battle, passing through the intensity of combat to emerge stronger and more powerful than ever. The first being ever known to have carried the title was the ancient King Adas, who unified the Sith tribes on Korriban some 3,000 years before the formation of the Old Republic. After Adas' death at the hands of Rakatan invaders, many pretenders claimed to hold the title of Sith'ari, but none of them was ever able to restore the Sith to power until the discovery of a man named Dessel. Dessel was trained on Korriban during the years leading up to the Battle of Ruusan, and eventually became Darth Bane, the man who reinvented the Sith and established the Rule of Two. (KOTOR, OWS, DBPD)

Sith'ari
This ancient Sith term meant "overlord" or, more simply, "The Lord." (OWS)

Sith-Imperial War
This conflict between the new Empire and the Galactic Alliance occurred more than 100 years after the Battle of Yavin. The main conflict began in the wake of the Ossus Project, when many planets that were to be restored by the terraforming techniques of the Yuuzhan Vong were subjected to all manner of strange and dangerous alterations. The Jedi Order of the time believed that the Ossus Project had been sabotaged, but could not identify the culprits. The Moff Council rose up in anger at the Galactic Alliance's lack of response, and forged the Treaty of Anazes, formally declaring war on the Alliance. When agents of the Sith order that was formed by Darth Krayt appeared in support of the Imperial factions, the Jedi realized that the sabotaging of the Yuuzhan Vong reclamation efforts had been performed by the Sith. However, they still lacked enough evidence to formally bring the Sith to trial. During the battles, the combined forces of the Empire and the Sith attacked many Alliance targets, weakening the Alliance at every turn. After three years of hostilities, the Galactic Alliance surrendered. The Jedi Order, however, refused to be absorbed into the Imperial Knights, and abandoned their temple on Coruscant before retreating to Ossus. (SWI88, SWLB)

Sithrin, Kli
This small-time criminal was killed in Mos Taike, on the planet Tatooine, during the months following the Battle of Yavin. (SWGAL)

Sithspawn
This expletive was used by many beings throughout the galaxy. (XWN, KT)

Sithspit
This was an expletive that was common in most Basic-speaking cultures. (LSSM)

Sitnalta
This New Republic officer personally led the investigation into the whereabouts of the Nikto agent Ma'w'shiye. (SWJ4)

Sitrep
This was a military term used to denote a situation report. (TG, RCHC)

Sittana Marble
This was one of the most exquisite kinds of marble found in the galaxy. Known for its lustrous graining, Sittana marble was used to build some of the most expensive buildings in the galaxy. The Kallarak Amphitheater on Coruscant used Sittana marble to create its teired benches. (CCW)

Sitting Duck
This small ship was Una Poot's hidden escape craft, docked on Silver Station, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It was originally used by Una and her first husband, Drogue, as a culslon gas transport, and was equipped with twelve gas canisters that were tethered to the stern of the ship. (SWJ10)

Sitting Duck
This was a slang nickname used by the starfighter pilots of the Alliance navy to describe the TIE Bomber, which was deemed too slow and unable to maneuver when attacked in space. (CCS)

Sitting Hummock
This form of plantlife was developed by Yuuzhan Vong Shapers to serve as a kind of moldable chair. The sitting hummock confromed its soft cells to match the user's form. (FP)

Sitting Right of Refusal
This was one of the most obscure of laws created by the Senators of the Old Republic. It could be invoked when a Senator had good reason to keep the details of their personal or private business from the public eye. In most situations, the right of refusal was necessary to protect the Senator's alliances and certain business or political property. In other situations, however, it could bring the Senator's dealings into doubt. (JQ5)

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

Situational Enforcement
This branch of the Corporate Sector Authority's Security division was charged with overseeing the investigation of widespread criminal activity within the Corporate Sector. Whereas the Espos and the Locational Enforcement branch handled the investigation of isolated incidents, the Situational Enforcement branch looked at the patterns and activities that occurred across the Corporate Sector. (CSA)

Situng Borokii
This was one of the two most powerful overclans of the Alwari Ansionians, during the last decades of the Old Republic. They were challenged in size and power only by the Hovsgol Januul overclan. Like the Januul, the Borokii overclan was made up from several smaller clans, forming a large unit. The Borokii and Januul had been enemies for many generations, until Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luminara Unduli, along with their Padawans Anakin Skywalker and Barriss Ofee, met to discuss a treaty between not only the Borokii and Januul, but between the Alwari and the city-dwelling Ansionians of Cuipernam. The Jedi hoped to avoid the secession of Ansion from the Old Republic, preventing a massive crumbling of the Republic. After Obi-Wan and Luminara were able to form a peace between the Borokii and Januul, both overclans agreed to the treaty with the city dwellers. (APS)

Siv Kav
This Neimoidian served as a Vicelord of the Trade Federation, during the years following the Battle of Naboo, and was given command of the battleship Darkvenge. Like most Neimoidians, Siv Kav was unhappy with the outcome of the Battle of Naboo, and he was even less pleased when he was dispatched to join Commander Stratis in commanding Special Task Force One, the mission to eliminate the Outbound Flight project. Kav's displeasure was only further heightened when their task force was intercepted by a small group of Chiss vessels under the command of then Force Commander Thrawn. Kav wanted no delays in the mission, and ordered the Keeper to launch half of droid starsfighters to engage the Chiss. He believed that his task force was far superior to that of the Chiss, an assessment that may have been correct. However, Kav's skills as a leader were no match for those of Thrawn, whose tactics allowed the Chiss to eliminate fourteen of the fifteen warships in Special Task Force One in short order. Only the Darkvenge was spared, in part so that Thrawn could learn about the task force's mission. Stratis made the decision to draw Thrawn into their plans, and Kav was forced to agreed that the only way to destroy Outbound Flight was with Thrawn's assistance. However, Kav planned to have Thrawn eliminated, once the Jedi and the Outbound Flight project were destroyed. Thus, he was surprised and angered when Stratis refused to have Thrawn killed. Sitting at his desk aboard the Darkvenge, Kav drew his own weapon against Thrawn and tried to shoot the Chiss commander. However, Thrawn had installed a shield generator, taken from a droideka, in the Vicelord's chair, which was activated when Kav opened the panel that contained his hidden hold-out blaster. Thrawn had the polarity of the shield generator reversed, so that when Kav fired his shots at Thrawn, they simply hit the shield and bounced back at the firer. Kav was struck with the bolts he had meant for Thrawn, and he died when the bolts ripped through his chest and torso. (OF)

Siva, Den
This male Nagai served as Lumiya's chief aide, during the months following the Battle of Endor. He was also the advance scout of the Nagai invasion fleet, which had allied itself with Lumiya in the hopes of taking control of the galaxy from the Alliance of Free Planets. He requested that the Zeltron female Dani be turned over to him, so that he could study her physiology and learn what he could of the Zeltron race. He also became enamored of Dani, a feeling he had never quite experienced before for an alien being. When Kiro rescued Dani, Den Siva set out to recover her. He fought with Kiro over a river, smashing the Iskalonian's helmet and draining it of water. Kiro forced Den Siva over the edge, and both fell into the water. Kiro's body was never found, but Den Siva managed to survive and return to Lumiya on Kinooine. Den Siva was then placed in command of the assault force which destroyed Trenwyth. Later, on Zeltros, it was discovered that Den Siva had betrayed the Nagai to the Tofs, so that he could see Dani again. In the end, Den Siva decided that he had best leave the Nagai behind, and surrendered himself to Leia Organa and Dani. It was then revealed that Den Siva was actually half-Zeltron, a fact that became obvious as his attraction to Dani deepened. (MC96, MC97, MC103, LTA6, MC105, MC106, MC107)

Sivaa
This Imperial freighter was part of the task force that was dispatched to deliver weapons and machinery to the NL-1 deep-space platform, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. (TIEP)

Sivar
This man owned and operated the Suprosa during the Galactic Civil War. (SESB)

Sivel, Ela

Siver
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word meant "degree." (OWS)

Sivilin
This was a common name among the Umbaran people. (UANT)

Sivill
This man was one of the many beings who lacked any sensitivity to the Force, but joined the Sith Empire during the final years of the Great Galactic War. A pilot of moderate skill, Sivill was enlisted into the Sith Imperial Army, and later earned the rank of Captain before taking on the role of transport pilot. After a peace treaty was signed between the Sith Empire and the Old Republic, Captain Sivill and his crew were charged with transporting captured mercenaries to Korriban. These mercenaries were once employed by the Old Republic as soldiers, and the Sith wanted to interrogate them for any useful knowledge. However, en route to Korriban, Sivill's ship was attacked by what appeared to be Republic warships. In reality, Sivill's crew encountered the transport ship Envoy and was ordered to capture at least one of the Jedi Knights onboard. The security forces aboard Sivill's ship managed to capture Master Dar'nala and hold her for interrogation, but Satele Shan managed to escape. During her interrogation, Master Dar'nala was able to use the Force to pull information from Captain Sivill's mind, including the knowledge that the Sith Lord Baras was behind the attack on the Envoy. Before she died, Master Dar'nala asked Braden to relay this information to Satele Shan. (TOP1, TOP3)

Siviviv
This spreading vine was native to the planet Cartao. (SWI68)

Sivorian Sea
This vast ocean was famous for its deep, emerald-green waters. (JH)

Sivrak, Lak
A Shistavanen scout, hiding from Imperial persecution on Tatooine. He was employed by the Empire as a scout, exploring the edges of known space in an effort to map out shipping routes for the Empire's growing mining operations. During one of his missions, he came across a group of dishomed colonists, who were actually members of the Alliance. He thought they were just settlers, and he offered his help in keeping them from starving. They tried to convert him to the beliefs of the Alliance, but he declined. He did, however, agree to keep their location a secret. The Empire, however, following up on his mission, discovered the settlers and interrogated them, learning of Lak Sivrak's ommission about their whereabouts. He was cut off from Imperial employment and chased off, persecuted and outlawed for helping the Alliance. Seeking shelter on a backwater world, Sivrak ended up on Tatooine, and was present in the Mos Eisley cantina when Obi-Wan and Luke approach Han Solo for passage to the Alderaan system. While there, he met Dice Ibegon, a Florn Lamproid whose Force sensitivity connected with his own. In a strange relationship, the two joined the Alliance. Dice was never sure if Sivrak joined because of her or if he truly cared about the Alliance. Sivrak served as part of the ground force in the Battle of Hoth, but Dice did not survive the Imperial attack. Sivrak despaired, but Dice's Force-image visited him often, taking him back to the cantina and proving to him that, despite his love for her, the Alliance still needed his services. He was a veteran of the Battle of Hoth, where he served as an infantry gunner. Sivrak's growing competance with a starfighter got him his own X-Wing, and he flew in the Battle of Endor. Unfortunately, his ship was shot down, and he did not survive the crash. His Force-image was strong enough, though, that it joined those of Dice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, and Anakin Skywalker at the final celebration. (E4, SCRE, TME, NEGW)

Sivrak, Nira
This Shistavanen female was Lak Sivrak's mother. Nira and her husband, Tagg, made great sacrifices to ensure that Lak was sent to school away from Uvena Prime. (EGA)

Sivrak, Tagg
This Shistavanen was Lak Sivrak's father. Tagg and his wife, Nira, made great sacrifices to ensure that Lak was sent to school away from Uvena Prime. (EGA)

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

Sivron, Tol
This Twi'lek male was considered more bureaucrat that scientist, during his tenure as the chief scientist at the Maw Installation. Impatient, petty, uncreative, and a stifling taskmaster, Sivron served at the Maw Installation for many years, and claimed to have been the leader of the creation of the first Death Star concept. Despite his position as a scientist and project manager, he was extremly threatened by true talent, and was loathe to perform anything as menial as military service. Prior to his employment at the Maw Installation, Tol Sivron was a member of his community's head-clan on Ryloth, until one of the other members was killed in an accident. The remaining four members, including Sivron, were exiled to the Ryloth wastes. Tol Sivron killed the other three Twi'Leks during their first night of exile, and was trying to make it to civilization when he discovered Wilhuff Tarkin setting up an Imperial refueling station on the planet. Tarkin recognized Sivron's potential from the story he told, and took Sivron under his wing. Sivron proved himself an excellent manager, and was promoted to his position as Chief Administrator of the Maw Installation by the newly-promoted Grand Moff Tarkin. He was extremely obsessed with following Imperial doctrine to the letter, a trait that ultimately led to his demise. When Admiral Daala took the four Star Destroyers that were protecting the Maw Installation and set out to attack the New Republic. Sivron and his team of managers were left to fend for themselves. Unable to deploy the remaining troops to proper military positions, Sivron turned to the procedures manual and tried to defend themselves. Thus, when General Wedge Antilles arrived at the Maw Installation with a New Republic assault force, Sivron was unable to mount an adequate defense. He and his managers tried to bring the Death Star prototype online, and managed to destroy a couple of Republic vessels, before getting bogged down in procedures. Unable to determine what to do next, Sivron and his managers called a meeting, and decided that the correct procedure was to destroy the Maw Installation before it could fall into the hands of the New Republic. They began their attacks on the facility, but Kyp Durron used the Sun Crusher to disable the Death Star's maneuvering systems. Tol Sivron was killed, along with the rest of his managers, when the prototype Death Star was sucked into the black holes of the Maw and destroyed. Note that Star Wars: Epsiode II - Attack of the Clones indicates that the Death Star was first conceived by the Geonosians and Count Dooku, so Tol Sivron's role in its development may be rendered apocryphal. (JS, COTF, JASB, E2)

Sivulliq
This prototype RK-720 freighter was stolen from the SoroSuub headquarters in the Cularin System, but was eventually returned to SoroSuub by the citizens of Cularin. Miim Te'Suub, the Director of Formal Activities for SoroSuub, announced that the corporation decided to forego producing such an exquisite starship design. Instead, they turned the Sivulliq over to one of the Cularin natives who turned the ship in. It was later discovered that a key piece of proprietary technology was never removed from the freighter, and the pilot refused to allow the technicians of SoroSuub to retake possession. (WOTC)

Sivv
This man was one of the senior technical officers who were assigned to the Outbound Flight project, some five years after the Battle of Naboo. (OF)

Sivvi
This airless asteroid was captured by the gravity of the planet Thule, becoming a captured moon. Many beings simply refered to it as the Thule Moon. More than 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, Sivvi was the site of a military training facility maintained by the Sith, where they practiced zero-gravity maneuvers on its surface and inside its natural caves and tunnels. During the Clone Wars, a shield generator was constructed on the Thule Moon to protect the Separatist base on Thule itself. The generator was destroyed by Anakin Skywalker, allowing Old Republic forces to land on Thule. (CWG, GORW)

Six
This was the Neimoidian word for the number 6. (GPB)

Six Actions
This was the Basic translation of the Resol'nare, the basic tenets under which the Mandalorians lived their lives. (SWI86, KORV)

Six Local Systems
This was a collection of Mid Rim star systems. During the height of the New Order, all six systems were under the contol of a single Imperial Governor, Shran Etison. Governor Etison's based was one Tuttin IV, in the Tuttin System, during his tenure. (GMR6)

Six Novas, The
This was a common expression used by humans to indicate surprise, as in, "Why in the six novas would I do that?" (LF6)

Six Questions, The
This was one of the underlying tenets of the Bothan Spy Network. Under the concept of the Six Questions, an agent of the spynet learned how to gather more and more information from fewer and fewer questions by analyzing information holistically, rather than asking additional questions. (HG)

Six Rocks
This collection of six vertical rocks was located in the deserts of Tatooine. (SWGAL)

Sixteenth Vissencant Variation
Supposedly entitled Etude for Dawn, this was a false name used by Zan Yant to fool his good friend, Jos Vondar. Vondar had no knowledge of classical music, but truly enjoyed listenign to Zan play. Thus, when Zan first played Duskin re Lemte's Cold Midnight for Jos, the human was bewildered at the fusion of leap-jump and heavy isotope fusion. To poke gentle fun at Jos' lack of refinement, Zan called the piece the "Sixteenth Vissencant Variation" to see if Jos knew that, in fact, there were only fifteen Vissencant Variations. (MBS)

Sixth Belt
This was the name of the sixth asteroid belt located in the Oseon System. (LCF)

Sixth Decant
This section of the galaxy was held by the Alliance shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (CSWEA)

Sixth Fleet
This was one of the new naval fleets established by the Galactic Alliance, in the wake of the Swarm War. The creation of the Sixth Fleet gave the Alliance a greater ability to address skirmishes and conflicts throughout the galaxy. During the height of the Galactic Alliance's war with The Confederation, the Sixth Fleet was placed under the command of Admiral Nek Bwua'tu, in an effort to harrass Corellian and Bothan fleets that were massing for an attack on Kuat. (LF6)

Sixty Hour War
This was the brief conflict during which the Empire subjugated the various rebellious factions on the planet Derilyn. During the War, the Empire wiped out the city of Paran in an effort to wipe out the rebels. (PG3, OE)

Sixxa, Sol
This hulking Mere was the leader of the Mere Resistance, a group of freedom fighters who tried to overthrow the Trade Federation's control of the planet Maramere, some six years after the Battle of Naboo. Sixxa recovered an experimental cloaking device from the Syren after killing Lord Toat, and used it aboard his own pirate ship, the Revenant. He then cultivated the idea that he was a ghost, and that the Revenant could appear and disappear at will. The leaders of the Mere feared that Sol Sixxa might turn on the native population, should he ever defeat the Federation, and so they sent Loreli Ro to hire the Feeorin mercenary Nym to defeat him. Nym agreed, but found that he and Sixxa had a common bond: to overthrow the Trade Federation. After defeating the forces of Ruuk, Sol Sixxa played dead for several weeks before contacting Nym. However, rather than kill Sixxa, Nym offered him the chance to join the Lok Revenants and fight the Trade Federation together. Sol Sixxa chose to serve with Nym, and the two fought together to overthrow the Federation. (CRBN, JSF)

Siyan, Indigo
This settled lived on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Siz
When translated into Basic, this Ewok word meant "fire." (GPB)

Size-distorter
This type of virtual-reality arcade game was popular at funfairs in the Core Worlds, during the final years of the Old Republic. Players who took part in the game could experience their virtual environment from the perspective of a giant or a germ, or any size in between. (CN2)

Sizhranian Lettuce
This plant, which produced crisp and tasty leaves that were tightly wrapped around a pithy core, was developed and grown by the chefs who served House Sizhran. (OWS)

Sizinnian
This Snivvian spent most of his adult life trying to read and understand the Journey of the Minds. To this end, the slightly insane Snivvian lived deep in the sewers of Eyar City in a collection of chambers he called his "Inner Sacntum." Sizinnian would often become emotionally unstable whenever Eyar Treatment Systems came through to clean the sewers, reaching a peak of paranoia and fearing that everyone was out to steal his research. (HAS)

Sizzton, Andar
This bounty hunter was contracted by the Empire to search out the group of Alliance agents investigating the construction of the Bissillirus Resupply Base, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The Empire actually contracted five boutny hunters, in an effort to ensure that the agents were captured. Sizzton was the only hunter who trailed the agents to Entrus from Draenell's Point. For a number of reasons, Sizzton's hunt was known to the Alliance agents, which made him nervous because he wasn't sure their actions weren't meant to draw him into a trap. (GMK)

SJ-62/68
This orbital mine was produced by ArmaTek for use by the Empire, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. SJ-62/68 mines were usually deployed by TIE Bombers. (CCS)

Sk
This unit of measure described a large amount of computer data. (CFG, SWGAL)

Ska, Vinian
This Quermian was one of the most renowned members of his race, having served the Jedi Order alongside Jedi Master Yarael Poof during the final years of the Old Republic. (NEGA)

Ska Chusko
This Rodian expression translated into Basic as "grow up". (HFG)

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

Skaak Tippers
This gang of miscreants was active on the planet Naboo during the height of the New Order. Formed by a former Corellian businessman who went by the nickname Tipper, the Skaak Tippers made their profits by slicing into computer systems and siphoning credits from various bank accounts. The name of the gang supposedly came from the computer storage measurement Sk and the name of the aak dogs of Haruun Kal, and referred to the gang as vicious computer hackers. The records of the gang showed that the name was supposed to have been a secret, but the Corellian businessman made a habit of telling anyone he met about it's true meaning. (GQRG, SWGAL)

Skaasad, Visto
This was the name of a Krevaaki individul, distinguished in the history of the planet Krevas. (UANT)

Skael, Slith
This Sluissi served the Old Republic as the chief of the communications staff at the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn, during the height of the Clone Wars. He served under Reija Momen, and was especially protective of her when Separatist forces stormed the center and took the staff hostage. He was outwardly a very calm cool individual, but he was passionate about his work and the attachments he made in life. (JT)

Skagras
A primary city on the planet Dohu VII. (SWJ1)

Skahrolta
This Dug was a member of Sebolto's gang during the years following the Battle of Naboo. The Pixelito Grand Council issued a bounty for his capture in connection with the sale of death sticks to the youth of Pixelito, a bounty that Jango Fett managed claim during his attempt to meet with Sebolto. (BH)

Skahtul
This female Barabel bounty hunter was the first to stumble onto Luke Skywalker following the Battle of Hoth. Skahtul had been trained by another bounty hunter who had taken her on as a guide, and allowed her to pursue her own freedom as long as she never tried to hunt him down. She and her band had heard of both the Imperial bounty on Luke, issued by Darth Vader, and Prince Xizor's bounty. As a Barabel, she held a deep respect for the Jedi Knights, but capturing Luke and turning him over to the highest bidder was just good business. Luke managed to escape from her before she could deliver him to either Vader or Xizor. Shaktul was later contacted by Xizor's niece, Savan, in the hopes that the Barabel could track down the human replica droid Guri. She staked out Doctor Thrumble's labs on the world, noting the increased defenses after Kar Yang failed to capture Guri. Note that she was called Skahtul in the Dark Horse Comics version of Shadows of the Empire. (SE, SEE, SESB)

Skako
This city-covered planet was the homeworld of the Skakoan race. The atmosphere of Skako was filled with methane and other unusual chemical compounds, many of which were incredibly heavy. This meant that the atmospheric pressure on Skako was extremely high, making it unlivable to many other species. The Skakoans, however, evolved over time to survive there. This meant that nearly all Skakoans remained on Skako, since the equipment needed to maintain the unusual atmospheric pressures of Skako was prohibitively expensive. (SWDB, SWI70)

Skakoan
This vaguely humanoid race of mammalian beings was native to the planet Skako. Because the atmosphere of Skako was unusually dense, Skakoans evolved over time to survive in the intense pressures there. This meant that nearly all Skakoans remained on Skako, since the equipment needed to maintain the unusual atmospheric pressue was prohibitively expensive. Any Skakoan caught on a world with low atmospheric pressure would explosively decompress.

Despite their relative anonymity, Skakoans were know for their ability to create microelectronics, and their manufacturing processes were considered quite advanced. Very few beings ever saw a Skakoan without their protective suits, although it was believed that they resembled guant humans with folds of sickly-colored skin.

During the last decades of the Old Republic, the Skakoan presence in the galaxy was most felt during the Clone Wars, as the Techno Union sided with the Confederacy of Independent Systems while under the direction of Wat Tambor.

However, with the rise to power of Emperor Palpatine, the Skakoans were relegated to subordinate positions, and many retreated to Skako, disgusted with the human race. This self-imposed isolation continued even after the Battle of Endor, leading the rest of the galaxy to consider the Skakoans to be secretive xenophobes. (SWDB, SWI70, UANT, NEGA)

Skakoform
This was the native, written language of the Skakoan race. Many other races often mistook Skakoform for techincal blueprints or circuit diagrams. (GMR10, UANT)

Skakoverbal
This was the native, spoken language of the Skakoan race, a complex form of machine language which closely resembled Bocce. (GMR10, UANT)

Skalder
These massive, thick-skinned herd animals were native to the Doshar Fields of the planet Florrum. The average skalder was a four-legged beast that had armor-like plates covering its rotund body. The creature's legs were quite short and stocky, providing it with a low center of gravity that helped the skalder run for safety when the acid geysers of the Doshar Fields were active. The small head of the skalder was protected by a ridge of bone across the top of the skull, and two short tusks helped the creature grub up grass and other plants for food. The bulky size of the average skalder belied the speed with which the creature could move across the flats of the Doshar Fields, an evolutionary development that helped the creatures avoid the geysers. The thick skin of a skalder was resistant to blaster fire and acid, which helped it survive near the geysers that dotted the landscape. (CWTV11, CWTV12)

Skalokor
This was the second moon of the planet Yabosta. It was covered with treacherous mountain ranges, and was the homeworld of the Dolandu. (GMR10)

Skalrat
Although highly nutritious, skalrat wan considered one of the most disgusting delicacies in the galaxy. (DN1)

Skalus
This Imperial Consul-General was assigned to maintain and control access to the Gree Enclave. He hated the posting, and cared little about maintaining the balance of trade in the Enclave. He was purposely inattentive to his duties, and hoped that the backlog of uncollected taxes would get him reassigned to another world. (SWJ8)

Skalworm
This was a species of burrowing worm that was native to the planet Bothawui. (DN2)

Skamini, Ashielle
This woman and her husband, Sembric, were ore miners and traders who were living on Mon Gazza during the final decades of the Old Republic. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Ashielle gave birth to a son, whom they named Warpoc. However, Warpoc was discovered to have a strong connection to the Force, and was taken from his parents to be trained on Coruscant. Some seven years later, Sembric and Ashielle were brutally murdered by Black Sun extortionists, and their son - now known by the name Zett Jukassa - began having visions of their murders. These visions helped Jedi Knight Mierme Unill expose their killers and solved the crime. (SWDB)

Skamini, Sembric
This man and his wife, Ashielle, were ore miners and traders who were living on Mon Gazza during the final decades of the Old Republic. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Ashielle gave birth to a son, whom they named Warpoc. However, Warpoc was discovered to have a strong connection to the Force, and was taken from his parents to be trained on Coruscant. Some seven years later, Sembric and Ashielle were brutally murdered by Black Sun extortionists, and their son - now known by the name Zett Jukassa - began having visions of their murders. These visions helped Jedi Knight Mierme Unill expose their killers and solved the crime. (SWDB)

Skamini, Warpoc
This infant boy was born to Sembric and Ashielle Skamini on the remote world of Mon Gazza. He was discovered to have a strong connection to the Force, and was taken to Coruscant as a newborn for training in the Jedi arts. The infant was then renamed Zett Jukassa, and his past was hidden from him until the age of seven. It was then that Jedi Knight Mierme Unill was investigating the murders of several Mon Gazzan miners, who turned out to be Jukassa's parents. Jukassa was told about his true past, in order to help Mierme Unill solve the murder of his parents. (SWDB)

Skandit
A squirrel-like creature that lives in forests of Endor's Sanctuary Moon, the skandits have black, furry masks. They use slingshots and whips to ambush unwary travelers. (ECAR)

Skandrei Bandits
This group of cutthroat pirates was extremely active in the Kathol Outback during the early years of the New Republic. They maintained a fleet of capital ships and support craft that was rivaled only by the Imperial Navy fleet assigned to Kathol Sector, making them a formidable opponent. This firepower made them virtually unstoppable, and they attacked wherever and whenever they chose. The Skandrei later allied themselves with Gorak Khzam and the Sabriador Slavers, in an effort to eliminate the Qektoth Confederacy. During the Battle of Kathol, the Skandrei agreed to help Khzam defeat the FarStar as well as the Confederacy, but their combined forces were not enough to overcome the Imperial warships in orbit arounf Kathol. The Skandrei Bandits and the Sabriador Slavers were both destroyed in the battle. (KO, E)

Skann
This planet was located in Astal Sector. It was famous for the Skannbult Likker that was produced by the famers who lived on the planet. (GG9, OWS)

Skannbult Likker
This alcoholic drink was made from surplus Dust-Corn and Dry Gene Wheat by farmers on the planet Skann. It was believed to be one of the galaxy's most volatile form of fire-water. Individual batches were distilled in rocky basins, and the flavor and potency of each batch varied greatly, even among individual brewers. The lower-quality Skannbult Likker was often shipped off-world, while the exceptional batches produced by small brewers were only sold on Skann. (GG9, OWS)

Skar
This was the alias used by the droid SCr-114, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The simple name allowed the droid to appear to be organic during early negotiations, where another being might resent having a droid as a smuggler. (SWJ5)

Skar'kla
Also known as the glitterclaw, this predatory beast was native to the planet Bothawui. The skar'kla were distantly related to the krak'jya feline, having evolved more for speed than power. Skar'klas rely on stealth to get close to their prey, then burst from cover and attack before the prey even knows they were being hunted. If a prey should ever escape, the skar'kla had plenty of speed to catch them and bring them down. Skar'kla were native to the mountainous areas of Bothawui, and tended to stay well away from civilization. However, as the populations of krak'jyas was hunted down for its pelts, the skar'kla numbers rose, and they began to encroach on urban areas. This results in attacks caused more by mistake than by deliberate planning. (SPG)

Skeeg
This creature was infamous for its incredibly noxious smell. A mollusk, skeegs were native to the planet Vendara, where they lived in the warm swamps and rainforests. Their were considered unique in the mollusk world because of the shape of their shells. Over time, the calcareous material exuded to create the shell forms a pair of movable wings. However, these wings provide no assistance to the locomotion o the skeeg, which simply moves by contracting and expanding the muscles of its fleshy foot. What the wings do allow the skeeg to do was catch its prey. When an insect lands on the skeeg's back - attracted by the scent exuded from glands on its rearend - the skeeg used its wings to reach up and grab it. Then, using spines on its body, the skeeg injects a poison into its prey to immobilize it. Once the prey stopped moving, the wings helped move the insect to the skeeg's mouth for consumption. (TPS, COG)

Skeel
This well-muscled Cerean youth was the leader of the band of techrats which hung out with Kordren and Maj-Odo-Nomor. In order to hide his identity while riding swoops out on the plains, Skeel often painted his face white with black markings around his eyes. He led the raid on Ki-Adi-Mundi's house to steal groceries, shortly after Sylvn joined their band. Skeel's desire for technology, and the thrill of racing a swoop, often clouded his judgement, and when he and Kordren tried to race within the walls of the Outsider Citadels, Skeel lost control of his swoop and crashed into a dead-end wall. He was killed instantly, and Kordren was hospitalized after leaping from his swoop before it hit the wall. (PTR)

(GCG)

Skeenah, Den
This man represented his homeworld of Chandrila in the Galactic Senate, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Senator Skeenah was the first Senator to propose the idea of setting up a veterans' welfare system for the many clones and other beings who ultimately survived the Clone Wars. His impassioned arguments called upon other Senators to recognize that the Republic held many other forms of life in the galaxy with higher regard than the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic. He went so far as to point out that there were laws protecting many forms of plant life, yet there was nothing to ensure that the clone troopers were able to carry out their lives beyond the war. His anti-war stance made him a target of the Republic Intelligence agency, but he refused to be bullied.

At the height of the Clone Wars, Senator Skeenah agreed to meet with Besany Wennen, who was investigating the possibility that funds for a clone pension program might have been mi-appropriated. They both came to the realization that, as far as the Galactic Senate was concerned, clone troopers either lived or died in battle. (RCTC)

Skeendo Tunnels
This network of abandoned mining tunnels and canyons was found in the Southern Crags of the planet Skeebo. A city was built from the wreckage of starships scavenged from the Skeeb Desert by the Skavers. It was here that the Skavers held Anachro for ransom. Boba Fett was able to infiltrate the tunnels and rescue the H'uun. (BF)

Skeezer
This Imperial Navy Captain was dispatched to Yavin 4, to pick up Grand Moff Tarkin in the wake of an assumed Imperial victory over the Alliance. When he arrived at Yavin 4, he found no sign of the Death Star or Tarkin, and was hard-pressed to defend his small fleet against the Alliance's meager forces. He was eventually shot down over the jungle moon and captured. Under interrogation by Han Solo, who claimed to have been a doctor who was using captured bacta to heal Skeezer's wounds, he revealed that the Death Star had been carrying a huge cargo of bacta. Skeezer also revealed that the bacta had been contaminated. Based on this information, General Dodonna agreed to send a small mission to Thyferra, in order to ascertain the true nature of the Death Star's bacta and the Imperial plans for it. After a few days, Skeezer managed to escape from captivity, and set out in his cruiser to locate the Liquidator and provide information on the rebel base to Admiral Termo. He was accidentally intercepted by Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon, and both their ships were force to crash-land on Yavin 8. There, Skeezer was captured again, and held for further interrogation. (MIS1, MIS2, MIS4)

Skefta
This game of chance was popular in the Outer Rim Territories, where much of the gambling done during its play was controlled by the Hutts during the New Order. (MA)

Skekfish
This species of fish-like creature was a hybrid of carbon- and silicon-based lifeforms. They were named for the way they "swam" through soil, and could easily move through solid rock. They accomplished this by their swimming motion, which placed their razor-sharp, metallic scales in contact with the surrounding material. These scales literally scraped away material. Skekfish had no eyes, and hunted purely by their sense of hearing. When they attacked larger prey, the skekfish would first jump at their prey, using their knife-like bodied to slash at it. Skekfish were known for their swift speed, voracious appetites and incredible reproduction rate, and it was theorized that a colony of skekfish could eliminate the major fauna on an undeveloped planet in little time. Whenever a colony of skekfish ran out of food, they reproduced one last time, laying their eggs in the carcasses of their prey. These last eggs, if undisturbed, could survive for thousands of years before hatching again. The only known defense against these creatures was the use of ion weapons, which caused them to explode. (WOA10)

Skelda
This was one of the ancient clans of beast riders who lived in the wilderness of the planet Onderon, a millennium before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. Warriors of the Skelda clan tried to capture Zannah when she arrived on Onderon, in the wake of the Battle of Ruusan. (DBRT)

Skeleton Straits
This was once a primary section of the Mon Gazza Maze, until a group of podracers went into the Skeleton Straits and never emerged. After this tragedy, the Skeleton Straits were closed off, although they were not torn down. The remaining structures served as a kind of memorial to the fallen racers. As the name suggested, the Skeleton Straits was essentially and unfinished collection of buildings that had been started during Mon Gazza's economic boom, during the years prior to the Battle of Naboo. After the spice mines on the planet ran dry, the construction was abandoned, but the beings who owned the Mon Gazza Speedway purchased them for use in putting together the Mon Gazza Maze. (CWCC)

Skell, Choka
This Yuuzhan Vong warrior was one of the small group that supported Nei Rin's efforts to protect the remains of the Jedi Academy on Ossus, during the years following the Sith-Imperial War and the Massacre at Ossus. Choka Skell and Liaan Lah were the first to apprehend Cade Skywalker and Shado Vao, when the two Jedi stumbled upon the cavern where the Yuuzhan Vong had hidden the artifacts they had recovered from the Jedo Temple. Both warriors initially refused to back down, citing Cade's obvious ties to the pirates who had once looted the cavern. Their fears were well-founded, since it had been Cade who originally led Rav's pirates to loot Ossus, in the wake of the Sith attack there seven years earlier. Cade, however, had only told Rav about the chambers in order to survive. In the weeks that followed, Masters Vao, K'kruhk, and Wolf Sazen were trapped on Ossus with Choka Skell and Liaan Lah when a group of Imperial stormtroopers arrived to investigate their presence on the planet. The Yuuzhan Vong chafed at remaining hidden and not fighting back, but agreed that the deaths of the stormtroopers would only attracted more attention. (SWLG, SWLC)

Skell, Yoog
This Yuuzhan Vong served the leaders of the invasion force which attacked the New Republic, more than twenty-five years after the Battle of Endor. As the High Prefect of the Intendent caste, Yoog Skell was Nom Anor's superior officer, and answered to Supreme Overlord Shimrra. When Nom Anor believed that the New Republic had established an advance base on Ebaq 9, Yoog Skell agreed that the Executor's information should be brought to the Supreme Overlord. However, when the information was discovered to have been purposely planted by agents of the Republic, in an effort to draw the Yuuzhan Vong into a trap, Yoog Skell confronted him and demanded his death. Nom Anor, in a panic, tried to flee with his life. In order to escape, Nom Anor lashed out at Yoog Skell with an amphistaff, smashing the High Prefect's skull and killing him almost instantly. (Y, DW)

Skerr Kyrric

This was a slang term used to describe any small, trifling amount of something. (CWWS)

Skerrit
This male Devaronian, the mate of Anirak, was one of many beings who smuggled bandaras off Devaron, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Most bandaras were smuggled off-world so that they could be bred for eventual return to the planet. Skerrit believed that his work helped to offset the desire of the female Devaronians to exterminate the bandaras. (COG, OWS)

Sketch
This clone trooper, distinguished by the letter Senth tattooed on his forehead, was part of the force dispatched to the planet Christophsis, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Serving under Sergeant Slick, Sketch and his fellow clones were part of the task force dispatched by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to locate a suitable ambush site for attacking the Separatist droids who were invading the planet. However, the chosen site was compromised, and the clones were trapped by swarms of droids. The Jedi managed to reach the ambush site after fighting through other droids, and helped even the battle field. In the wake of the failed ambush, Sketch and his squad mates were questioned by Captain Rex and Commander Cody about a possible spy in their team. Sketch and Punch were both in the mess hall when the spy was supposedly active. (CWOC1 CWTV16)

Sketto
This species of flying, carnivorous reptile was native to the deserts of Tatooine. Skettos were large creatures, with individuals reaching lengths of up to a meter, and they flew about using four leathery wings. These creatures were something of an anomaly in the galactic animal kingdom, being warm-blooded reptiles that gave birth to a single offspring at a time. Skettos lived in caves and crevasses, hanging upside down by clinging to the rock with the claw on their tail. The large fangs and teeth of the sketto were used for gathering insects and piercing the hide of larger creatures, allowing the sketto to lap up the blood which flowed from the wound. It was rumored that a swarm of skettoes could suck a sleeping dewback dry of blood. (GF, WSW, LLOW)

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

Skewer
This was one of the many Zorbian pirate ships that harassed the spacelanes of Moddell Sector, during the early years of the New Republic. It was believed that the Skewer attacked and disabled an Ayrou freighter near the Forest Moon of Endor several years before the Battle of Yavin, stranding the Ayrou Tessent somewhere in the forests of the moon. Note that Star Wars Gamer, issue 9, also seems to indicate that the Skewer was the ship that was shot down. (GMR9)

Skew-flip
This starfighter maneuver was used during the height of the Clone Wars, and involved a pilot using his forward attitude jets to kick his starfighter into a reverse position. In this way, a pilot could surprise the pilot of an enemy ship that were in pursuit. Because the fighter was suddenly facing backward, the pilot could fire on his pursuit and eliminate them. (E3N)

Skidcrust
This was a slang term used on the planet Mon Gazza, during the final years of the Old Republic, to describe any podracer whose vehicle smashed into an obstacle, killing the racer and smearing the racer's body into the ground. (CWCC)

Skidder, Wurth
This brash young man graduated from Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He was part of a group which followed Kyp Durron and formed an almost vigilante brigade of Jedi Knights, bringing their own form of justice to remote parts of the galaxy. He was one of the first Jedi to fly the XJ version of the T-65 X-Wing, a vehicle he used to bring down the Rodian mercenaries of the Osarian First-Force, against the wishes of Leia Organa Solo. Later, during the Battle of Ithor, Wurth was severely injured in battle with the Yuuzhan Vong on Ithor's surface. He survived, and vowed to return the fight to the Vong. He was part of the delegation sent to Gyndine to help relocate refugees, where he allowed himself to be captured by the Yuuzhan Vong. He tried to convince the young yammosk aboard the Creche' that Randa the Hutt was plotting to Chine-kal, while Sapha planted the idea in Randa's mind that Chine-kal was going to kill him. The plan was to create confusion aboard the clustership, but only succeeded in killing Fasgo and attracting the attention of Chine-kal. Chine-kal captured Wurth and planned to present the Jedi as a present to Tsavong Lah. After being attacked by Kyp's Dozen at Kalarba, though, Chine-kal fled to Fondor. He grew angry with the Jedi, and Skidder in particular, and physically abused him. Skidder was broken badly by the torture, and barely survived to discover that Kyp had found him at Fondor. Before he died, Wurth asked Kyp to rescue Randa, who had been playing the Yuuzhan Vong for information to give to the Republic. (VP, DTR, JE)

This term originated on the planet Coruscant, in the city's lower levels, to describe any criminal who boldly stole a moving speeder as it moved past them overhead. Skimjackers waited as unsuspecting drivers maneuvered through the crowded streets, often at heights that were just above the normal foot traffic. When a speeder passed by close enough, a skimjacker could leap up and climb into the speeder, forcing the driver to exit the vehicle or surrender to the skimjacker. Skimjacking was considered quite impulsive and dangerous, but such thefts occurred on a regular basis. (CN1)

Skimm, Roth
This man and his partner, Belgar Overlord, were a pair of freelance explorers who stumbled upon a habitable world on the edge of the Core Worlds some 600 years before the Battle of Naboo.

Her mother, Lynn, was a textile worker, and imparted a wealth of information on clothing design to Lyda. She also was an accomplished engineer, and learned a great deal about droid repair from her father, Doyle. Lyda joined the Alliance after the deaths of her father and her brother, Athon. She was known to her fellow agents as Skimmer, and was responsible for locating information on Project Dead Eye, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Unfortunately, she went into hiding shortly after discovering the information, fearing that the Imperials would locate her before she could return.

Skinker
This obese man, distinguished by his bald head and extravagant moustache, employed Valance the Hunter to bring in some of the galaxy's most wanted criminals. In return for Valance's services, Skinker provided the bounty hunter with droid. Skinker didn't understand why Valance always destroyed the droids on sight, but the removal of his rivals was well worth the price. Additionally, Skinker kept his ears open for any information on the whereabouts of Luke Skywalker, as the final payment for Valance's services. Skinker's base of operations was on the planet Junction, which gave him an excellent opportunity to interact with Alliance agents. When the Empire blockaded the Yavin System, the Alliance was forced to look beyond well-known outposts for supplies, and Junction was quite near Yavin. Because of this, Skinker was able to discover that Skywalker had arrived on Junction to purchase droid repair parts. When Valance arrived to capture Skywalker, he was forced to blast open a magnetically-sealed hatch to reach him. In the resulting blast, Skinker and his helper, polyp, were killed. (MC27)

Skinto, Mygo
This young woman resembled any of the multitude of children dishomed by the Galactic Civil War and the struggle to control her homeworld of Norne. Mygo could pass as a boy or a girl, and appeared to be a simple orphan. In reality, Mygo was old enough to have children of her own, although she had dedicated herself to making sure the children of Norne were given a chance to survive the battles. She also worked to ensure that the children of Norne weren't exploited and used as slaves or indentured labor. Mygo herself was an orphan who lost her parents when their space yacht disappeared. She was passed among various aunts and relatives until she was old enough to set out on her own. She was hampered by the fact that her physical growth stopped by the time she reached her teens, leaving her with the appearance of a child. She eventually went underground, establishing a series of warrens below the city where "her children" could hide out while still receiving the nourishment and care they required. Mygo was sympathetic to the Alliance, and often passed on information she gained to agents she knew. During the early years of the New Republic, Mygo Skinto alerted the Republic to the plight of the Reussi, who were all but slaves to the Reuss Corporation. (CRO, OWS)

Han Solo, Chewbacca, and the Sullustan Seluss convened on this Smuggler's Run asteroid to discuss their reactions to Jarril's death and talk about their next move. Han and Chewie were in the Run, investigating not only Jarril's death but the unusually large amount of credits flowing through the Run. Skip 5 was riddled with caves strewn about in the stony planetoid, but was too hot for most species to inhabit. Some of the caves were large enough to house six luxury liners, and they believed that the strange cargoes passing through the Run were stored here. All they found was a group of resident Jawas and the smuggler Davis. Skip 5 was rocked with a series of explosions when Dolph detonated his specially-built droids. The droids were meant to be on Coruscant when they exploded, but a number of smugglers stole droids to keep or sell on the black market.

He had it hollowed out and reformed into the perfect replica of Glottal, down to huge swarms of watumba bats and parfue gnats. His lair was hidden deep within the asteroid, and only by traversing a complex series of tunnels and caves could one get in or out. (TNR)

Skip 72
This Smuggler's Run asteroid was rocked with a series of explosions when Dolph detonated his specially-built droids.

This immense squid was native to the oceans of the planet Naboo. (NEGW)

Skippy
One popular rumor which sprang up in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, after Luke Skywalker had told of his humble upbringing on Tatooine, was that the droid R5-D4 was actually connected to the Force. Known by the nickname of Skippy, R5-D4 had been given lubricants what were infected with midi-chlorians, giving it incredible Force sensitivity. Among Skippy's abilities was the ablity to foresee the future, which manifested itself when Skippy first encountered R2-D2. The Force told Skippy to blow was own motivator when Owen Lars purchased it from the Jawas, allowing R2-D2 to be pruchased instead. (T1)

Skipray 24r Blastboat
This improved version of the original GAT-12 blastboat was produced by Sienar during the years following the Swarm War. The 24r was a bit larger and more lethal than the GAT-12 ship, and was designed to be used as a hit-and-run attack vessel that was part of a larger fleet. A pair of oversized engines gave the 24r incredible sublight speed, and the ship's enhanced sensors and targeting systems allowed it to accurately fire on almost any target. In order to accommodate the ammunition needs of its weapons systems, the 24r had weapons holds that were twice the size of those on the GAT-12 ship. (LF9)

Skipray Blastboat
This was another name for the GAT-12 series of heavily-armored starfighters, designed by Sienar Fleet Systems to be fast and powerful. They were long, streamlined ships, about twice the length of an X-wing. Because of their size and their design profile, the Skipray Blastboat was created to fill the gap between small starfighters and well-armed capital ships. Despite the fact that the Skipray was equipped with a hyperdrive and could go on missions that starfighters could not, they never became as popular as TIE fighters, and became obsolete in the mind of the Empire. They were found primarily in smuggler defense fleets, until Grand Admiral Thrawn began using them to a great advantage against the New Republic. They have rear-mounted engines, and have a ventral fin for stability. (HTTE, DFR, WOTC, SWDB)

Skip-tracer
This was a slang term for a collections agent, during the early years of the New Order. The term was eventually adopted by collections agents, since had taken on a sort of mystique, so that independent spacers feared to hear that they had a skip-tracer on their tail. (HSR)

Skira
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word meant "revenge" or "settling a score." This word carried a more personal emphasis than gra'tua. (OWS)

Skirata, Fi
This was the name used by Bardan Jusik when he had the clone commando known as Fi admitted to the Republic Central Medcenter, after Fi sustained several injuries during battle on Gaftikar, at the height of the Clone Wars. The name was a reference to the fact that Kal Skirata thought of Fi and his squad mates as sons. The medical droids working at the Republic Central Medcenter initially refused to treat Fi's injuries, since he was considered a government asset who had been declared brain-dead by the medical staff aboard the Leveler. However, when Besany Wennen tried to have him discharged, the staff refused to allow it, again citing the fact that he was a clone that was part of the Grand Army of the Republic. When Wennen tried to fight her way out of the facility, Jaller Obrim stepped in to help clear up the situation. Obrim later took Fi in, allowing his own home to be used as the clone commando's recovery center. (RCTC)

Skirata, Ijaat
This young man was younger of Kal Skirata's two sons, having been born two years after his brother, Tor. When Kal and his wife, Ilippi, were divorced, Kal agreed to become one of the Cuy'val Dar who traveled to Kamino to work for Jango Fett. This event, coupled with Kal's regular absense from his home during jobs, led Ijaat and his brother Tor to alienate themselves from Kal. When Kal disappeared to Kamino, his sons declared him to be dar'buir, publicly divorcing themselves from him and declaring that he was no longer their father. Their only other contact with Kal came about four years after he left for Kamino, when the boys and their sister, Ruusaan, asked Jango Fett to relay news of Ilippi's death to Kal. Ijaat and his siblings had no contact with their father for many years, until Ruusaan went missing during the height of the Clone Wars. Ijaat broke the silence and contacted Kal, hoping that his father's connection to the Galactic Republic would help him locate Ruusaan. (RCTZ, RC66)

Skirata, Ilippi
This Corellian woman was once Kal Skirata's wife, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. However, their relationship was rocky at best, as Ilippi was not a Mandalorian, and found herself more and more unable to accept Kal's devotion to his culture. Their relationship crumbled somefive years after the birth of their third child, Ruusaan, when Kal wanted to take his eight-year-old son Tor into battle with him. Ilippi refused, and eventually asked for a divorce after leaving him and taking their children to her parents' home on Corellia. She agreed to divorce Kal in the Mandalorian way, with a simple acknowledgement of their split. She then fled into the galaxy at large with her children, and eventually she remarried. Unfortunately for Kal, his sons refused to accept him as their father, naming him dar'buir when he accepted the isolation of working for Jango Fett on Kamino as a Cuy'val Dar. Their only contact with Kal came about four years later, when Ilippi died. They made contact with Jango, in an effort to relay news of Ilippi's death to Kal. (RCTZ, RC66)

Skirata, Jaing
This was the name used by a former clone trooper met by Mirta Gev, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. When Gev described the man to Boba Fett, the bounty hunter became intensely interested in finding him, because he would have been one of the few clones to have survived the rapid aging that had been genetically-coded into their cells. Fett believed that, if he could locate Skirata, then he might be able to halt the degeneration of his own body.

Mirta and Fett tracked Skirata to the Kuat System, where he had killed the crimelord known as Cherit. They traced the hit to Fraig, who provided minimal information. Satisfied that they were earnest in their pursuit, Skirata revealed himself to them in Kuat City. He allowed himself to be transported off-planet in the Slave I, requesting that they drop him off on Coruscant. During the transit, Fett revealed to Mirta that Jaing had been one of the original Null-class ARC Troopers, having been officially designated as N-10.

Jaing agreed to take a sample of Fett's blood back to his own scientists, to determine what was slowly killing the bounty hunter and provide an antidote. In return, he asked Fett to return to Mandalore and rule as a member of the Mando'ade, following Kad'ika's advice to create a unified people. In a private conversation with Mirta, Jaing told her that he thought Fett was a poor excuse for a Mandalore, but that he was probably the best man for the job. (LF2, LF5)

Skirata, Kal
The adopted son of Munin Skirata, Kal Skirata was born with the name Falin Mattran. At the age of six, he was orphaned on Surcaris when his parents were killed in a local conflict, and he was eventually found by Munin Skirata. The only thing Kal kept from his childhood was the three-sided knife his biological father had once wielded before he was killed. The name Kal was a reference to this blade. Munin Skirata taught him the fine art of being a Mandalorian mercenary at an early age, and Kal remembered his first mission at the age of seven for the rest of his life. Skirata grew up to become an accomplished contract killer and thief, and it was these skills plus a wealth of ancillary aptitudes that earned him a place among the Cuy'val Dar, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Like his peers, Skirata was a Mandalorian mercenary who was chosen for the heritage he shared with Jango Fett.

However, in accepting the role as one of Jango's Cuy'val Dar, Kal found himself alienated from his family. While he wife, Ilippi, had already divorced him, Kal was unprepared when his sons declared him dar'buir and refused to acknowledge him as their father despite the fact that he had left them his entire fortune. Instead of sinking into depression, Kal turned all his attention to the clone troopers under his tutelage, although he never told them about his own past. The first group he trained was the so-called Null-class ARC Troopers, whom he trained from infancy and who were loyal only to Skirata himself. Despite his gruff and unfeeling demeanor, many commandos recalled his lessons with an emotion that bordered on fondness, and those closest to him referred to Skirata as Kal'buir - Papa Kal. This training method contrasted sharply with the harsh demeanor of Walon Vau, and the two men developed a deep-seated hatred of each other. Over the coming years, Skirata was known to call each and every one of his former students on a regular basis, to see how they were doing and if they needed anything.

Sergeant Skirata did everything he could to get the clones trained in time to participate in the Clone Wars, but knew that all his training was no match for real combat. He also provided them with the knowledge that their Jedi commanders might not have the same level or kind of military training, and privately warned them not to blindly obey the orders of an inexperienced leader. In addition to calling his trainees "dead men" and "wet droids," Skirata was forced to admit that they were data-rich but experience-poor. The clones perplexed him, because they were essentially children who had the best combat training in the galaxy, and because they were able to accept their fate and do their duty without questioning their creators. In public, Skirata seemed to be invisible, having an average appearance that tended to blend into a crowd. His short, wiry body and nondescript face allowed him to pass almost unnoticed in public. However, when he chose to fight, it was obvious that he wasn't just any other being.

As the Clone Wars raged on, Skirata found himself "promoted" to the position of special security advisor to the Senate Security Council, helping the Senate Guard and the Coruscant Security Force interact with the various clone commando units dispatched to handle volatile situations. One such mission was the elimination of a Separatist-funded terrorist ring on Coruscant, an operation that was officially unrecognized by the GAR. It was during this mission that Kal watched several of his commandos discover members of the opposite sex, although not without some trepidation. His fears were realized when Etain Tur-Mukan revealed that she was pregnant with Darman's son. Kal realized that Darman could never be told of his son, at least not during the Clone Wars, and demanded that Etain turn the child over to him upon its birth, so that it could be raised as a Mandalorian in relative safety.

At the height of the Clone Wars, Skirata and his Null-class clones set out on a personal mission, to locate Ko Sai and force her to help the clones overcome their genetic reprogramming and live longer lives. He found a strange ally in the form of Walon Vau, who had also been disowned when he joined the Cuy'val Dar. Vau stole a huge fortune from his family vaults on Mygeeto, and turned a huge portion of it over to Skirata's efforts to locate the Kaminoan scientist, after Skirata rescued him from Mygeeto. Although he recognized that the war was still going on, Skirata understood that the mission to locate Ko Sai might be construed as desertion by his superiors. The trail left behind by Ko Sai led Skirata and his clones to several aquatic planets, until they finally located her base of operations on Dorumaa. On Dorumaa, the group learned that they were not alone in hunting down Ko Sai, and that Jedi General Arligan Zey was also searching for her at the request of Chancellor Palpatine himself. This forced Kal to speed up his time table, and gave him the impetus to actually begin thinking about deserting his post and devoting his time to ensuring there was a future for the clones.

With the help of Mereel and Walon Vau, Skirata finally captured Ko Sai on Dorumaa. They stripped her computer storage systems of all their data, then destroyed her underwater lab after taking her prisoner. However, Ko Sai refused to help him find a way to extend the life of the clones. Her resolve forced Skirata to try new questioning tactics, but he was unprepared for Ordo's reaction to the Kaminoan. When she continued to deny them answers, Ordo simply destroyed the datacards holding her decades' of research, leaving Ko Sai and Skirata in utter disbelief. Ordo later explained that he was finally making decisions for himself, instead of waiting for Kal to make them for him. Ordo believed that Ko Sai was refusing to help them because she knew that she still had access to the data they needed. When Ordo destroyed it, he hoped that he had taken away her bargaining chip. In order to continue the interrogation of Ko Sai, and to ensure the safety of Etain Tur-Mukan and his clones, Skirata took them all back to Mandalore.

Kal and his team made a side trip to Coruscant, after Fi was badly injured on Gaftikar and was taken to the Republic Central Medcenter. Fi was in a coma, and had been scheduled for euthanasia before Besany Wennen and Jaller Obrim managed to rescue him. It was on Coruscant that Ordo revealed to Skirata that he still had a viable copy of Ko Sai's data. Skirata was not angry, realizing that Ordo was correct in assuming that keeping the other copy a secret was the only to have gotten a real reaction out of him.

Several months later, Kal was called back to Mandalore when Etain had her baby. He was surprised by his own reaction to the infant, which had been given the name Venku Skirata as per their agreement. However, almost as soon as he laid eyes on the baby, Kal regretted his decision to keep Darman unaware of the situation. What he regretted most was the fact that Darman never got the chance to name his own son. Kal finally agreed to tell Darman about the child, and worked with Etain to determine when the right time would be. His happiness at the birth of Venku Skirata was tempered by the sudden suicide of Ko Sai, who hung herself after finally getting a chance to look at Etain's genetic material. Her death prompted Kal and the others to put other plans in place to reverse the aging of the clone troopers.

Kal quickly settled into the mode of being a grandfather, although he set about making sure that young Venku was safe and properly cared for. He arranged for Besany Wennen to serve as Venku's uncle, to keep him off Mandalore and close enough that he and Etain could visit the child when they were on leave. However, during one of these meetings, Kal introduced the child to Omega Squad as his grandchild. He was somewhat reticent, however, because he could not tell Darman that the child was his own. To cover his emotions, Kal stated that he was going to adopt all of the clones, since he considered them to be his true children. When he asked Bardan Jusik to look after Venku's training, he openly stated that he might have to change the child's name to Kad, since that was a name Darman picked as a name for a future child.

With the death of Ko Sai, Kal set out to try and find another cloner who would be willing to help him determine whether or not the aging process of the clones could be reversed. He even considered talked to Doctor Olovot Qail Uthan. He turned Ko Sai's body over to the Nulls for disposal, but took the head and delivered it to Delta Squad, so that they could, in turn, deliver it to Arligan Zey as proof that she was dead. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Kal and several of his clone commandos seemed to disappear into the galaxy. It was believed that it was Skirata and his men who sent Ko Sai's body back to Kamino in pieces, as a form of revenge for their part in creating the clones. Kal then went back to work planning for the eventual end of the war, and finding a way to reverse the rapid aging of the clone troopers of the GAR. Drawing from the wealth of credits he had been given by Walon Vau, Skirata and the Null-class ARC Troopers recruited some of the galaxy's best scientists to invesigate the clone genome and locate the key to their aging. Although many of these scientists were somewhat successful, their combined efforts continued to leave Kal just short of his goal. This prompted him to put plans in motion to break Doctor Uthan out of prison, since she knew the most about the clone genome.

Just before this mission was to take place, two things happened to shake up Kal's world. First, his sons made contact with him to explain that his daughter Ruusaan had gone missing. Second, Etain Tur-Mukan finally revealed to Darman that Venku Skirata was actually Darman's son. Although he was upset that Etain had spoken to Darman, Kal was unprepared for Darman's reaction to the news. The clone commando was hurt and angry, and felt that no one trusted him. Kal tried to explain that the knowledge of Darman's son was kept from him to keep him from being distracted on the battlefield, and that he was unsure if Darman was emotionally ready for the news. Darman lashed out at him, asking if Kal considered him a man or a child and demanding to see his son. The verbal abuse was nothing compared to the punches that Darman threw at him, and Skirata took them all, knowing that Darman would need the emotion and physical release in order to come to terms with the situation. When Darman finally stopped, Skirata was badly bruised and bloodied, but he was able to reconnect with Darman.

His plans to escape from Coruscant and the GAR continued apace, although they hit a snag when Jilka Zan Zentis was captured by the Republic Domestic Security force. With help from Walon Vau, they were able to put plans in motion to free Jilka and Doctor Uthan, and they set their date for escape to be 1,090 days after the Battle of Geonosis. Things only got worse after Doctor Nenilin, one of the scientists hired by Skirata to investigate the clone genome, revealed to Chancellor Palpatine that he had obtained information from a Mandalorian named Falin. Palpatine's advisors quickly connected "Falin" to Kal Skirata, and a death warrant was issued for his capture. News of the warrant was brought to Kal's attention by Jaller Obrim, who helped Skirata get out of the public eye and back to his secret hiding place for the Aay'han. Although the death warrant was not anything Kal worried about - he had six or seven other outstanding warrants for his death - he knew that life would get harder now that Palpatine knew he was looking into clone genetics.

Things only got worse when, ten days before the planned escape, General Grievous launched his attack on Coruscant, in an attempt to capture Chancellor Palpatine. Skirata and Walon Vau agreed that the confusion would provide them with enough cover to escape, and moved their plans up accordingly. Their plans were complicated by the fact that Etain and Delta Squad were dispatched to Kashyyyk, but this was a minor inconvenience compared to what happened when the command was issued to execute Order 66. Etain survived Kashyyyk and tried to return to Coruscant, in hopes of meeting up with Darman during their escape. She was trapped on the Shinarcan Bridge while trying to reach a rendezvous point, and was killed by a scared Jedi Padawan who tried to attack a clone trooper who was providing security. The situation spiraled out of control when the Padawan tried to flee and knocked Niner off the bridge, breaking the clone's spine and prompting Darman to leap after him. Darman and Niner were forced to remain where they were, but Skirata tried his best to rescue them. Jaller Obrim refused to let him ruin all their plans, and he stunned Skirata into unconsciousness. Obrim them ordered Ordo and Corr to get Skirata off-planet, and agreed to make sure that Etain's body was recovered. He also agreed to look after Darman and Niner as best he could.

Back on Mandalore, Kal did everything he could to make sure that Etain's body was treated with respect, until it was time to commit her to the manda. A simple ceremony preceded the lighting of a funeral pyre, and Kal recited the gai bal manda to formally accept Etain as his daughter. Before the flame could claim it, he managed to pull a small toy from her robes, as a reminder of who she was. He then vowed never to bury one of his children - adopted or biological - before his own death. Kal then started work on a memorial to the clone troopers, commandos, and pilots - as well as other beings who supported the Mandalorian cause - who had died during the Clone Wars. He had recited their names for years, and collected the armor tallies of dead men he had trained. In a field near Kyrimorut, Skirata erected a simple pillar on which he could imbed the armor tallies and inscribe the names of those who did have them, so that future Mandalorians could understand the sacrifices that had been made.

Before too long, Skirata felt the need to return to Coruscant in search of Darman and Niner. His plans coincided with those of Walon Vau, who was planning to travel to Kashyyyk in search of Sev. On his way to Coruscant, Skirata planned to stop at Concord Dawn and see if there were any relatives who might take in Arla Fett. Before leaving, he was approached by Ny Vollen, who had transported Levet to Mandalore. She asked him if he would be willing to take in two former Jedi, Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy and a Kaminoan named Kina Ha. Kal might have refused, but Ny explained the Kina Ha was well over 100 years old, and was part of a genetic experiment into prolonging the average Kaminoan life expectancy. Just knowing that the Kaminoans had succeeded in extending the life of a being through genetics gave Kal further hope that his clones could be given normal lives.

Skirata, Munin
This Mandalorian man was the adoptive father of Kal Skirata. Munin was a noted warrior, and instilled in his son the Mandalorian history and culture. It was Munin who found Kal, who was born with the name Falin Mattran, on the planet Surcaris, after the boy's parents had been killed. Munin took the young boy in and began to train him as a Mandalorian, giving him the name Kal. Munin later gave Kal a suit of sand-gold armor, when Kal came of age to join the warriors. When Munin died, Kal took his knife as the only reminder of his father's legacy, in the true Mandalorian fashion. Kal kept the knife with him for the rest of his life, as a constant reminder of his father's greatness. Kal also kept the man's armor, although it remained in storage for many years. Kal later loaned the armor to Bardan Jusik, during the search for Ko Sai, to hide the Jedi's true identity. Jusik had immersed himself in the Mandalorian culture as well as the clone brotherhood of the Grand Army of the Republic, and deserved the chance to wear the beskar'gam at least once. (RCTZ, RCTC, RC66)

Skirata, Ruusaan
This young woman was Kal Skirata's daughter and youngest child. Kal became estranged from his daughter in the wake of his divorce from his wife, Ilippi, primarily because Kal's regular absences from home left Ruusaan without any clear idea of who were father really was. Her only other contact with Kal came about four years after he left for Kamino, when Ruusaan and her brothers, Tor and Ijaat, asked Jango Fett to relay news of Ilippi's death to Kal. Ruusaan and her siblings remained separated from their father for many years, until Ruusaan was rounded up with a group of Separatist supporters and was sent to prison. Ijaat did not know what had become of his sister, but he contacted Kal anyway, hoping that his father would be able to locate her. Tor and Ijaat explained that Ruusaan had drifted away from them over the years, taking the odd job as a bartender or security officer or courier, before she took up residence on the planet Drall. It was later discovered by Walon Vau that Ruusaan had been caught up with a group of Separatist supporters on Khemerion and sent to a Republic prison. Sull, Spar, and Fi were dispatched to the RDC PolAx facility under orders from Vau - who had obtained permission to take control of Ruusaan from Arligan Zey - to take Ruusaan out of the prison facility. They learned that she had been violent when incarcerated, and was being held in solitary confinement. This was simply a reason to keep her separated, but it proved to be no obstacle for Vau and this commandos. Ruusaan was freed just before General Grievous launched his attack on Coruscant, prompting Vau and Skirata to activate their plans for escape. Ruusaan was reunited with her father, and had to fight back tears of joy when she first saw him, in order to help with their escape plan. When Kal and his clones escaped to Mandalore, Ruusaan made the journey with them, and spend several weeks getting to know her father again. (RCTZ, RC66)

Skirata, Tor
This young man was the older of Kal Skirata's two sons, being born about two years before his brother, Ijaat. When Kal and his wife, Ilippi, were divorced, Kal agreed to become one of the Cuy'val Dar who traveled to Kamino to work for Jango Fett. This event, coupled with Kal's regular absense from his home during jobs, led Tor and his brother Ijaat to alienate themselves from Kal. When Kal disappeared to Kamino, his sons declared him to be dar'buir, publicly divorcing themselves from him and declaring that he was no longer their father. Their only other contact with Kal for many years to come occurred about four years after he left for Kamino, when the boys and their sister, Ruusaan, asked Jango Fett to relay news of Ilippi's death to Kal. During the final months of the Clone Wars, Tor and Ijaat learned that their sister had disappeared, and Ijaat contacted Kal to ask for his help in locating her. Tor, who was living on Corellia at the time, explained that he and his brother had lost touch with Ruusaan over the years, although they knew that she was living on Drall when she disappeared. However, without evidence of a crime, the Corellian authorities regarded Ruusaan as an adult who was free to do as she pleased, and would not get involved. Tor then asked about Kal's well-being, and quickly explained that he and his siblings were sorry for the way things had gone between them. Tor explained that he had hoped Kal would show up for Ilippi's funeral, agreed to get any information he could on Ruusaan to his father, in an effort to piece together her whereabouts. Their conversation was interrupted by one of the clone troopers working for Kal, who relayed a message that Kal was needed elsewhere. When the trooper referred to him by the Mandalorian word for "father", Tor was confused. Kal briefly explained that he had adopted the clones, but told Tor not to worry about Ruusaan before shutting down their communications link. (RCTZ, RC66)

Skirata, Venku
This was the name chosen by Kal Skirata for the child that was to be borne to Etain Tur-Mukan. The child's father was the clone commando Darman, who was unaware that Etain was pregnant. The name came from the Mandalorian word vencuyot, although many of the child's extended family simply called him Kad, from the Mandalorian word for "sword". There were many questions about Venku's future, since there were no records of what the child's growth rate would be. It was assumed that he would grow normally, despite the accelerated aging of his father, since the artificial aging used by the Kaminoans employed recessive genes, or was engineered at various stages of development. Etain used her control of the Force to help speed up her pregnancy, falling into a healing trance whenever possible to promote the growth of the fetus. This taxed her placenta, which was prone to hemorrhaging as the pregnancy proceeded. By the time she was ninety days pregnant, her child showed the development of a six-month fetus. Etain also discovered that Venku was sensitive to the Force, but she vowed that the child would not be trained as a Jedi.

During the pregnancy, Etain agreed to provide some of her own blood as part of a bargain to get Ko Sai to reveal information on how to slow down the aging of the clone troopers. She also agreed to provide stem cells and other genetic material, if Ko Sai would continue to assist in helping the clones. Etain hoped that Ko Sai would eventually turn over her work, but also vowed that Venku would never be affected by the Kaminoan's work. Venku was born one morning, about eighteen months after the Battle of Geonosis, and he was officially christened as Venku Skirata. This helped cover his true identity, and served to line up with Kal's cover story that the infant was his grandchild. Kal also took to calling the infant Kad or Kad'ika, from the Mandalorian word for saber. Etain was forced to return to the Jedi Temple following Venku's birth, in order to maintain appearances. In order to make sure Venku was raised properly, Kal Skirata left the child in the case of Laseema and Besany Wennen. Laseema later reported that Venku cried for five minutes at the same time that Etain was killed near the Shinarcan Bridge, but then the infant simply quieted down and became almost contemplative.

He traveled to Mandalore when Skirata and his comrades abandoned their service to the Grand Army of the Republic, where he became the center of a close-knit family. Bardan Jusik continued to look after him, making sure that Venku received some training in the Force. Jusik discovered that Venku could tune into the emotions of other beings, and could determine when others were angry or upset. Fi watched over Venku like a hawk, keeping an eye on him in order to glean any sense of what was happening to Darman. Over the following years, Venku came to drop his last name and went solely by his first name when he returned to Mandalore. He was one of the first Mandalorians to promote the idea of kadikla, and was also known by the nickname Kad'ika. (RCTC, LF8, RC66)

Skirata Retirement Fund
This was the fictional trust fund that was referenced by the clone commandos of Delta and Omega Squad, whenever they liberated supplies or ordnance for a mission. They claimed that some percentage of the spoils leftover at the end of a mission would be saved for the retirement of their instructor, Kal Skirata. (RCTZ)

Skirmisher
This was the term used by the Old Republic's military officers to describe the small boarding craft used by the Separatist navies during the height of the Clone Wars. Skirmishers were usually cloaked, to avoid detection, and held back from the main fighting until most of the warships on both sides were engaged. Then, they would slip behind a Republic ship's defenses and latch onto the ship's hull, blowing a hole in the plating to allow swarms of battle droids to board the Republic ship. Because the Separatist boarding party was made up entirely of battle droids, skirmishers didn't require life support systems that could be detected by most scanners, providing an added meaure of stealth. (JT)

Skirmisher
This Imperial Tartan-class patrol cruiser was one of a handful that earned the vessel its reputation as a capital ship that could chase down smaller pirate and rebel vessels, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWDB)

Skirtopanol
This was a drug that was used to reduce a prisoner's resistance to any interrogation. When it reacted with the drig lotiramine, it caused chemical amnesia and, sometimes, death in the prisoner. (XWN)

Skitter
This small creature, native to the planet Verkuyl, was known for its attraction to metal and other shiny objects. (TFNR)

Skitterfly
This species of small insects was native to the planet Hirsi. Skitterflies lived on the surface of the freshwater lakes. (GG12)

Skittles
This was a game that involved knocking down or scattering another player's game pieces with one's own pieces. (RC66)

Skivvers
This Ho'Din was a small-time slicer and computer expert, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. His good friend, Kestrel, helped him stay out of the public eye, after a bounty was placed on his head. (RR)

Skliffin
This was a species of small, feline creature. (GG3)

Skloob
This was a Brigian term for urination. (HSL)

Skoa
This refreshing beverage was best served cold. (SOL)

Skocha
This was a derogatory Huttese pronoun, used by all manner of criminals during the years following the Sith-Imperial War. (SWLC)

Skodhan, Rya
This woman was a native of Mantooine, where she grew up as a street urchin and thief. After learning to deal sabacc and taking three months' pay from Airen Cracken, he recruited her into the Alliance. She later got a job dealing sabacc at the Imperial Palace Casino on Ord Mantell, where she could make contact with a great number of Imperial officers. She then steals information from their rooms - after learning its location with idle chatter during the game - and provides to Alliance agents who show up at her table. After establishing an agent's identity by dealing the agent a winning hand,and having the agent lose it intentionally, she deals the agent a hand that contains a coded message. (CRO)

Skoff, Emiel
This aging human male was a respected instructor at Darakin University before the Empire took control of its curriculum. Skoff left the university, rather than face persecution at the hands of Imperial agents, and set to work trying to discover a way for the Alliance to defeat the Empire. He believed that a heavily outnumbered force such as the Alliance could always prevail in battle. He also said that a reliance on technology provided a false sense of security. He once tried to locate information on a planet in the Gesaril system which was hidden by the Empire. Skoff cared little for appearances, and rarely bathed or changed his clothing. He wrote most of his notes on paper, rather than use a datapad. (GG6)

Skolitz
This man served the New Empire as a Captain in the naval forces, during the years following the Sith-Imperial War. He was ordered by Moff Morlish Veed to call off Skull Squadron's pursuit of the smugglers and bounty hunters who were working with Cade Skywalker, during Skywalker's attempt to escape from the Sith Temple on Coruscant. (SWLC)

Skolos
This man served as the chief engineer aboard the Black Ice. He wasn't loyal to either side during the Galactic Civil War, but saw the Alliance team which tried to take control of the ship as a group of pirates. Skolos eventually turned the ship's computer systems against the Alliance, hoping to use her defense systems to eliminate them. Skolos caused a number of failures in life support and communications, then turned the maintenance droids on the Alliance agents. When he couldn't stop their actions, Skolos fought them to the death. He threw every form of grenade he could at them, but was eventually forced to surrender. (BI)

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

Skone System
This planetary system, located in Brak Sector, was controlled by the Empire at the height of the New Order. (FBS)

Skor II
This small, dense planet was the second world in the Squab system, and was the homeworld of the Squib race. It was located in the Calaron Sector, and had a virtually unlimited supply of natural resources, but they tended to be found in concentrated deposits. The temperate world was covered with forests, oceans, and mountains, and was temperate enough to support most forms of life. During the height of the Clone Wars, Skor II was one of many planets that became battlegrounds. (GG4, REB, LEV)

Skorch
This was an unusual sport developed as a training exercise by the Jedi Masters who served at Luke Skywalker's academy on Ossus, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Two teams of students were positioned on the playing field, and each was secretly given a set of mutually exclusive goals. A single referee was in charge of ensuring that the teams played within the rules, but this was not their primary role. In fact, Skorch was created to train the referee, not the students. Because the team goals were mutually exclusive, the referee had to determine what they were and figure out a way for both teams to achieve equivalent levels of victory. The simplest solution was to ensure that neither team could achieve any of tehir goals, but this was considered a last resort. In this way, the Jedi referee learned to dig beneath the surface of a conflict and identify the true motives of each side. The Jedi then could work out a way to solve the conflict in such a way that both sides felt like they won. (DN1)

Skorp-Ion
This was the name of the starfighter used by Quinlan Vos during the Clone Wars, when he appeared to defect from the Jedi Order to join the Separatists. The craft resembled an insect, with wide wings sprouting from a body that had segmented legs for landing gear. The tailfin on the Skorp-Ion was curved upward and toward the front of the ship, giving it the appearance of a stinger. When Quinlan tried to escape from Dooku and found himself pursued by Asajj Ventress and Tol Skorr, he took the Skorp-Ion through a series of random hyperspace jumps, only to have the ship damaged in the process. He was forced to dock with the abandoned hulk of the Titavian IV to make repairs, but the Dark Jedi found him and set the Skorp-Ion adrift. Vos and Obi-Wan Kenobi were able to recover the ship after escaping from Ventress and Skorr. Unknown to the two Jedi, however, was the fact that Ventress managed to place a tracer on the hull of the Skorp-Ion, which allowed them to follow the Jedi to Rendili, then Coruscant. (J4, RDR)

Skorr
Skorr was a hulking humanoid with pale, pebbly skin and pointed ears. He seemed to have been disfigured, and he wore a metal half-mask. He worked with the Rybet, Gribbet. He kidnapped Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, in an effort to draw Solo out. He left Luke's lightsaber behind a proof that he held them. A homing beacon inside the lightsaber gave him a measure of control if Solo left the planet too quickly. Solo managed to liberate Luke and Leia, but was followed by Skorr and Gribbet when they fled the planet. Skorr continued tracking the homing beacon in the lightsaber until Han ejected it in a lifepod. Skorr followed the life pod, believing Solo was in it. He ended up within the midst of an Imperial fleet on maneuvers in the system, and was shipped off to the spice mines of Kessel. He later escaped from Kessel, and vowed to get revenge on Solo. He tracked him to Hoth, where the Alliance was investigating the planet's suitability as a base. Skorr captured Han, Luke, and Chewbacca, with the help of Bossk and Zuckass. They agree to meet Boba Fett on Ord Mantell, where they would turn Solo over to the bounty hunter for transport to Jabba the Hutt. They were intercepted by Darth Vader's fleet near Ord Mantell, and barely made it to the surface. While hiding in a moisture plant, they were ambushed by Raskar, who managed to free the Alliance agents and thwart Skorr's plans. (CSW)

Skorr, Tol
This former Jedi Knight was shot down over the planet Korriban during the early stages of the Clone Wars. He was rescued by Count Dooku, who helped him recover. From that point forward, Skorr became an apprentice to the Dark Side of the Force, and remained one of Dooku's most loyal servants. Quinlan Vos, on a mission to infiltrate the Separatists, was forced to defeat Skorr and Kadrian Sey in combat in order to gain audience with Dooku. Skorr remained loyal to Dooku, however, even as Vos gained more and more power. He eventually became Asajj Ventress' chief lieutenant, and found renewed favor in the eyes of Count Dooku when Vos was exposed as a spy. Skorr and Ventress nearly captured Vos aboard the Titavian IV, but the timely intervention of Obi-Wan Kenobi saved his life. Skorr and Ventress were left to explain the loss of the two Jedi to General Grievous himself. However, Ventress set off on a mission of personal revenge against Kenobi, leaving Skorr to take the brunt of the General's displeasure. During the Siege of Saleucami, Skorr and a group of agents working for Salje' Tasha were dispatched to Saleucami to ensure that Khaleen Hentz and Vos kept their end of the bargain by relaying information on the movements of the Republic's forces on the planet. Skorr continued to question Vos' true loyalties, and he got his chance to prove his worth to Count Dooku when Vos chose to side with the Jedi on Saleucami. Skorr confronted Vos deep within the planet's geothermal energy-production center, with each man using their physical prowess and lightsaber skills to match the other's moves. Skorr, however, also used psychological attacks on Quinlan, using the truth about Dooku's actions to undermine Quinlan's balance within the Force. Vos eventually grew angry enough to simply kill Skorr, and used the Force to shove Skorr off a ledge. Skorr then plunged into the flowing lava and was killed instantly. (J4, RSS, RDR, RSOS)

Skorrupon
This was one of the many resort worlds maintained by the Empire during the height of the New Order. (GCG)

s'Korth'an
This was a hilly region of the planet Guiteica. It was revered among Bitthaevrian warriors, for the greatest of their numbers were buried there. (AIR)

Skosef
This man was one of the small cadre' of Imperial officers who allied themselves with Grand Moff Trachta during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. A General in the Imperial armed forces, Skosef was assigned by Trachta to oversee the infiltration of special agents onto the shuttle which would have taken Emperor Palpatine to the first Death Star. The assassination attempt was actually a feint, designed to eliminate a large portion of Palpatine's personal detachment of stormtroopers. Trachta's specially-altered replacements would then be presented as a gift to Palpatine, allowing them to overtly infiltrate the Emperor's guard. Unfortunately for Skosef, his constant opposition to Trachta's plans led Trachta to set up a communications chain that linked Skosef to the explosion aboard the Mathayus that was supposed to assassinate Darth Vader. Skosef was arrested and later executed for his treachery. (SWEB)

Skotah
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word meant "short." (OWS)

Skotcarp
This lizard was native to the planet Barab I, where it lived on the slopes of Mount Ste'vshuulsz. (FH2)

Skra'akan
This huge ocean creature was found in the polar regions of the planet Calamari, but a sighting was incredibly rare. It resembled a massive, thick-bodied squid in that it had a number of long tentacles, but it also had a great mouth that it used to consume its prey. (CCR)

Skraan
This Mandalorian word translated into Basic as "grub", referring to food. (RC66)

Skraeling
This was one of the many Victory-class Star Destroyers which were still active, as part of the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Skrag
This was a particularly vindictive, Corellian swear word. (TFE, SWLB)

Skrag Turn
This was the name given to a section of the Agrilat Swamp Circuit, one of the most popular swoop racing courses of the New Order. (SWGAL)

Skraj'Tais
This was the primary starport located on the planet Coyn, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Its name literally meant "Skyland." It was similar in design to Kwenn Space Station, and was used mainly by beings who had no business on Coyn itself, but were merely stopping over. (PG3)

Skrank
This was a Sluissi swear word. (GMR1)

Skrannix
This exotic, feline creature was distinguished by its broad forehead and dark gray color. Although not usually aggressive, the four-legged skrannix had a stinger on the end of its tail for defense and attack. A group of skrannix were abandoned on the floating city of Nub Saar, in orbit around Genarius, just before the city was devastated by three severe radiation storms. The skrannix managed to survive, but their offspring were known to have strange mutations, and were quite feral and prone to attacking other creatures. (JST2)

Skrat
This form of mutated rat appeared on the planet Coruscant, after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Skrats moved about in small packs, foraging for food in the dense undergrowth that covered many subterranean levels of Galactic City. (LF3)

Skreeg
This bristly-furred herbivore was native to the moon of Yavin 4. Skreegs were known to be aggressive, especially when defending their herd. (GQRG)

Skreej, Tamtel
The alias used by Lando Calrissian to gain entrance to Jabba the Hutt's palace. EV-9D9 discovered Calrissian's presence when she became paranoid about the appearance of R2-D2 and C-3PO following a number of strange droid problems in Jabba's palace. She thought that Calrissian was in the palace to recapture her. (TJP)

Skreeka
This was a somewhat disreputable city found on the planet Atzerri. It was much less refined than Talos, and boasted a small spaceport. (SOL, EGP)

Skreeker
A small creature native to Belsavis, skreekers were nocturnal. (COJ)

Skree-skater
This predator was native to Galantos. Its feet had evolved over time to allow the skree-skater to move across the surface of the gelatinous pools which covered the planet. Their bodies were often covered with colorful, quivering tendrils, which helped them attract their prey. (EGP, CCW)

Skreev
This was another name for the Dxunian raptor, or the Dxun Devourer. (GMR3)

Skrigatov, A'jidre
This rotund Devaronian male served as the Provincial Governor of the planet Abregado-rae during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Skrigatov was little more than a petty gangster, so he used his goons to arrange an engagement to Brinaloy N'Vaari, the last surviving member of her family. Despite his strong sense of honor, it was later discovered that Skrigatov arranged for the assassination of the former Provincial Governor, who was actually Brinaloy's grandfather. In order to gain popular - and political - support, Skrigatov planned to marry Brinaloy and tied up the loose ends. However, she used her skills as an actress and went into hiding, cutting off Skrigatov's only hopes of winning support. (ND)

Skrilling
An alien race which evolved on the planet known simply as Agriworld-2079, the Skrillings were humanoid scavengers of large size and stature. The average Skrilling was distinguished by the baggy skin that covered their large bodies. Their small, poorly-functioning eyes sat above eight breather tubes that took the place of a nose. These tubes were studded with olfactory buds that allow the Skrillings to rely on their sense of smell instead of their poor eyesight. Their mouths were filled with rows of sharp, needle-like teeth that allowed the Skrillings to feed on the dead carcasses of the various grazing beasts of their homeworld, filling the niche of scavengers in the ecological system of their homeworld. This had led many other races to regard them simply as disgusting, annoying beasts with no real intelligence.

The Skrillings were discovered by a M'shinni exploration ship during the era of the Old Republic. The Skrillings had no name for their world, so the M'shinni simply named it Agriworld-2079. It was later determined that the name "Skrilling" was in fact a M'shinni term that means "bone picker."

As a people, the Skrillings avoided conflict, but were not afraid to take advantage of a situation if the conditions were right. They had once been a nomadic race, but the segmentation of agricultural land by the M'shinni forced them to form loose villages. Skrillings also had a unique talent that allowed them to continually ask the same question in many different ways, wearing their opponent down but never angering them. This allowed a Skrilling to ingratiate themselves into any situation, and it was believed that this was the method they used to gain transport on M'shinni cargo ships and escape Agriworld-2079.

The Skrilling race developed minimal levels of technology before the appearance of the M'shinni, and ha evolved only minimally since then. (GG12, NEGA)

Skrilling
This was the name given to the native language of the Skrilling people. (ANT)

Skrim, Wilhalm
This man lived on Tatooine during the height of the New Order. (GQRG)

Sk'rirak
This female Tarong was the younger sibling of K'derek, and had light and dark olive green plumage. Like her brother, she was a skillful merchant before she became an information gatherer for the Alliance. Sk'rirak and K'derek sold their information for droids and jewelry. (GG12)

Skrisst
This was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "tears his enemies to pieces". (GCG)

Skritch
This was the name of Gudb's pet gorm worm. Skritch was responsible for the death of Andur Sunrider, some 4,000 years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. (TOJ)

Skrog
This was a coarse swear word that was used during the decades following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, as in, "Get outta the skorggin' way!" (SWLB)

Skronkie
This species of small insect makes a loud humming noise when it swarms together. (VOF)

S'krrr
This alien race, native to a planet of the same name, had been a rival of their human neighbors from the planet Rabaan. For centuries, the two races settled their differences in one-on-one combat on the Combat Moon. The S'krrr were tall, mantis-like insectoids with sharp body segments and small, transparent wings on their backs. They use these wings to communicate in what was known as "wingsong." They have managed to remain technologically advanced for their remote location, but never developed space travel. It was generally assumed that the S'krrr descended from insects, most likely the drog beetle, although there was no evidence to support this. Certain members of the S'krrr population worship the lower insects for this purported ancestry. (SWJ9, GOF8)

S'krrr
This was the third planet in the Ishanna System, and was a hot world blanketed by rainforests and jungles. It was the homeworld of the S'krrr race. The average day on S'krrr lasted 22 standard hours, and its year lasted 310 local days. (SWJ9)

Sku
This was the Ewok word for "hello". (BTRKS26)

Skud

Skull of Thalemute
This remarkable xenoarchaeological find was discovered by Doctor Angrail Ryhl. (HR)

Skull Squadron
This was one of the many Predator-class Starfighter squadrons that served the New Empire, during the years following the Sith-Imperial War. Skull Squadron was part of the home fleet that protected Coruscant, and was on duty when Cade Skywalker arrived to rescue Hosk Trey'lis, some seven years after the Massacre at Ossus. For many years, the Skull were commanded by Rulf Yage. Leadership of the squadron later passed to Yage's daughter, Gunn. (SWLC)

Skull-Biters Flightknife
One of the many Cartann fighter squadrons which opposed Wedge Antilles and the Running Crimson Flightknife during the war against the forces of the Yedagon nation, on Adumar. They were defeated by Wedge's forces in battle, and surrendered. (SOA)

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

Skurvis
This Krish worked as a bodyguard to Treytis Prash, until he was shot and killed by Celia Durasha. Celia was led by Thune to believe that Prash was a bounty hunter holding her partner, Kaj Nedmak. This allowed Thune to eliminate the two bodyguards and capture Prash. (SWJ14)

Skusk
This was one of the aromatic plants that Wuher used to create the perfect liqueur for Jabba the Hutt, during the era of the Battle of Yavin. (TME)

Skustell
This planet, the primary world in the Skustell Cluster, was the original homeworld of the Ongree race. (NEGA)

Skustell Cluster
This collection of stars and systems was known as the home of the Ongree race. (SWDB)

Skutch
Meeka Reen's lieutenant, he was placed in charge of guarding Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa when they were taken from Ryko Vant in the wastes of Jerne. He was killed on Adony Station during the attempt to open the vault containing the eternity crystal. The vault had been rigged by Darth Vader to explode and kill Luke and Leia. They escaped, but Skutch was not so lucky. (CSWDW)

Skutu, Trel
Known in Imperial circles as "Scourge," Trel was a flight leader for a wing of TIE Fighters during the Galactic Civil War. He believed that the starfighter and its pilot were the real victors in a space battle, not the slow capital ships. (MTSE)

Skuumaa
This planet was the site of an Old Republic staging area, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. (RCTZ)

Skuwkrith
This was the name of a noted Ssi-ruuk individual. (UANT)

Sky Bogey
This was a term used by the spice miners of Kessel to describe the planet's single moon. (GORW)

Sky Cannon
This strange device was located within Mount Yeroc, on Tahlboor. The cannon resembled a huge spotlight, and generated an intense beam of energy when activated. The cannon was controlled by Chief Nimodro for many years. Although he knew that his ancestors had used the cannon to communicate with the planet, he never really understood what they meant. He knew that the beam of energy was blindingly bright, and seemed to be most powerful near the planet's surface. The true use of the cannon was eventually revealed by R2-D2 and C-3PO, when the droids were in the service of Counselor Harthan. Shortly before an all-out war between the Troobs and Hobors, R2-D2 determined how to activate the cannon's communication functions. He used it to project a huge image of C-3PO above the surface of the planet, an image which was visible and audible several miles away. The cannon was actually built by an ancient, though highly technical, Tahlboorian civilization. They designed it to harness the power of the planet's inner core to carve the surface of the planet to their own design, hoping to create a paradise for themselves. They had planned to use the cannon to adjust the orbits of Tahlboor's moons, thereby modifying the tides, but they did not survive to see this goal achieved. Jake Harthan also learned of the sky cannon's abilities, and sought to undermine his father's work in order to gain control of the cannon. Thanks to the droids, he failed, and the Hobors and Troobs moved closer to achieving peace. (DRPC)

Sky City
This city was located on the northern-most end of the Landra continent of Lianna. (ML)

Sky Fire
This was the Langhesi name for the huge bolts of lightning which were called down by the boras and the Jentari during the process of forging their seeds. (RP)

Sky Guard
This was the name given to the Zygerian defense force that rode on the backs of the massive, avian creatures that were native to the planet Zygeria. The Sky Guard's primary duty was to protect the airspace surrounding the Zygerrian Royal Palace. (TCW1)

Sky Lorry
This was the term used by the Korunnai to describe any repulsor-equipped cargo vehicle. (CN1)

Sky Mine
This form of explosive weapon was developed during the last decades of the Old Republic. Sky mines were deployed in orbit by a delivery ship, then activated. They were given rough targetting parameters, often with transponder code masks, and then hunted down their targets. They had excellent maneuverability, and chased after their target until they ran out of fuel or were destroyed. Since sky mines were mobile, and could lock onto a target of their own volition, starfighter squadrons had to have their missions coordinated with the parameters used to program the mines. (RP)

Sky Ramp
This was one of the primary spaceports on the planet Onderon, located in the city of Iziz, during the years following the Great Sith War. (KOTOR2)

Sky Seraphs
A group of deities worshipped by Doallyn. (TJP)

Sky Slicing
This sport developed on urban planets during the height of the New Order. A one-man event, sky slicing involved "surfing" through the air on a repulsor-equipped platform, using only one's balance to maneuver. (GFT)

Sky Stone
see Um'Tal (HR)

Sky Striker 5000
This modified swoop was produced by Aratech during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Capable of achieving a top speed of 580 kilometers an hour, and with a flight ceiling of 200 meters, the Sky Striker 5000 allowed its rider to "surf" through the air in the sport of sky slicing. This small vehicle was controlled by pressure from the feet and legs, and maneuverability was based primarily on balance. A pair of magnetic boots was required to maintain contact with the swoop, and a leg rope was attached to prevent the platform from getting away from a rider. (GFT)

Sky Swooper
This repulsor-augmented hang glider was designed and manufactured by Nen-Carvon for the Empire., and was used to travel above the jungles of Aris. They have a twin blaster mounted on the frame, above the flier's head. The Imperial forces occupying Aris found sky swoopers invaluable transports. (RM, ROE)

Sky Yards-class Herdship
This Ithorian herdship was similar in most respected to the Manollium-class herdship, but it was solely produced by the Ithor-based Ithorian SkyYards corporation. (GMR4)

Skyarch
This was an architectural structure that resembles a group of suspended bridges. Made famous by the Grand Rim Promenade on Cejansij, skyarches span most of the Canyonade and link the opposing sides of the Promenade. The skyarch consists of nine walkways which were held in place without the use of repulsorlift technology. This was what makes them almost unique in the galaxy. There were nine walkways in all, arranged in a diamond pattern. The three middle walkways connect the Promenade, and there were two walkways above and below, then one more above and below those two. The skyarch had been in place for nearly three centuries prior to the Battle of Endor. (SOP)

Skybarge
This was the name of Fadoop's patched-up aircraft, a cargo vessel formed from the discarded parts of many other ships. Han Solo used the Skybarge to show up Grigmin on Saheelindeel, after the showman final annoyed Han too much. At the end of the show, and just for good measure, Han used the Skybarge to smash Grigmin's aging X-222 vessel to the ground. For the spectacle, the Saheelindeeli named the Skybarge the best exhibit of the High Festival. (HSL)

Skybird
A popular model of racing swoop manufactured by Ubrikkian, the Skybird was designed to compete with the Nebulon-Q and Flare-S swoops. Despite the fact that it could attain speeds of 650 kilometers per hour or more, it was more expensive that the other models and had a flight ceiling of just 35 meters. (RPG)

SkyBlind
This Loronar reconnaissance ship found acceptance among galactic scouts, for its design and capabilities allow many scouts to explore new worlds with a great deal of concealment. The SkyBlind was a 21-meter sphere which can carry a pilot and up to seven passengers, along with about fortty cubic meters of cargo. The SkyBlind was shielded, and was armed with a single proton torpedo launcher. The spherical shape allows most long-wave sensor scans to pass around it, providing a measure of stealth. The cargo space was often limited by half, however, because one of the SkyBlind's unique features was the inclusion of a small, spherical landing craft. The landing craft was six meters in diameter, and can transport the SkyBlind's entire crew to the surface of a planet. Where the main SkyBlind ship was an interstellar craft equipped with a hyperdrive, the landing craft was a repulsor-powered module and must have sufficient gravity to operate. The landing craft was air- and watertight, was minimally shielded, and had no weapons. Both the SkyBlind main ship and its landing craft were equipped with sensor-masking technology, allowing them to move into a hostile situation without drawing attention. (GG8)

Skyboat
This form of repulsorlift vehicle was the primary form of transportation found on the planet Xoman Free. (DHE2)

Skyboat Pirates
This band of pirates terrorized the royal family of Xoman Free, during the years following the Stark Hyperspace War. They were thwarted in their efforts to kidnap the royal princess by Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos and his apprentice, Aayla Secura. (SHW)

Skyborn
The Skyborn were the deities who were worshipped by the Keshiri. The Skyborn created the planet Kesh and everything on it. They controlled everything that was experienced in nature, and it was believed that they rewarded the Keshiri for proper behavior by creating mild seasons and good weather. The appearance of a rain storm often meant that a Keshiri had somehow offended the Skyborn. Anything that opposed the Skyborn was associated with rebellion and death. According to Keshiri legends, the Skyborn lived among the stars, riding great uvaks that seemed to be formed from crystals. They protected the planet Kesh from the predation of the Otherside, fighting against evil for untold eons. Although the Skyborn were injured during the fighting, they were eventually victorious, and drove off the Otherside. It was believed that the blood of the Skyborn, which had been spilled in the fighting, fell to the surface of Kesh and formed the land masses that rose from the planet's oceans. These legends had some basis in the real world, because the land masses found on the planet Kesh were similar in shape to the spatter pattern formed when liquid drops hit a solid surface, with long chains of plateaus that were surrounded by peninsulas that jutted outward from each plateau. The Skyborn remained the stuff of legends for generations, until the Sith vessel Omen crash-landed in the Cetajan Mountains, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The Keshiri leaders who encountered the survivors deemed them to be the Skyborn incarnate. (LTS2)

Skybridge
This was a type of open walkway that connected the upper floors of two adjacent buildings in the Upper City of Taris, during the decades following the Great Sith War. Skybridges were often decorated with ornate columns and railings, in order to impress the beings who walked across them. (KOR7)

SkyCenter Galleria
This amusement center was built on Cloud City by Lando Calrissian and Cojahn after the failure of Hologram Funworld, about 19 years after the Battle of Endor. Lando used the profits from GemDiver Station to build it, and hoped it would be the first of many centers throughout the galaxy. It boasted restaurants, shopping centers, holomazes, experience chambers, and thrill rides. He brought Jaina and Jacen Solo, as well as the other Jedi trainees at Luke Skywalker's praxeum, to Cloud City to try it out and give it a "test-drive." When he arrived, though, he discovered that Cojahn had been murdered by agents of Black Sun, who wished to gain control of the Galleria. (TCC)

Skyclaw
A Preybird-class attack ship owned by Mazzic. Its hull was painted to resemble a huge bird of prey surrounded by red flames. Mazzic and his crews performed heavy modifications to the Skyclaw and its twin, the Raptor, acquiring military parts produced by the Empire on the black market in order to augment their capabilities. The ship required a pilot and a gunner to operate, and was armed with a pair of havey laser cannons and two concussion missile launchers. (TLC, LCSB, GMR4)

Skyclaw
One of two disguised starfighters used by Manda D'ulin's team of Mistryls. (TME)

Skycrabber
Jabba the Hutt once questioned who this young man was, when an anonymous man arrived with news of Luke Skywalker's return to Tatooine. After learning from an anonymous source that Luke Skywalker had returned to Tatooine, and that he was a friend of Han Solo, Jabba hoped to capture "Skycrabber" and use him to draw Solo out of hiding. (RF3)

Skycrawler
This was the affectionate term used by Leia Organa-Solo to describe any child who would be born to Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade Skywalker. (BP)

Skycycle
This was another name for a speederbike. (DRKN)

Skydome Botanical Gardens
This building was essentially a huge terrarium, erected on top of an isolated skyscraper in Imperial City on Coruscant. It was originally designed, financed, and built by the Old Republic philanthropist who established the Galactic News Service. Ostensibly built to provide the people of the galaxy with a collection of the most wondrous plantlife, the Skydome Botanical Gardens contained many more areas that were set aside for research and breeding. Among the off-limits exhibits was a collection of carnivorous plantlife, which required more than two tons of meat each month.

The Skydome Botanical Gardens sustained minor damage during the Yuuzhan Vong's occupation of Coruscant, and was later restored to its former glory in the wake of the Swarm War. (JS, CCW, LF5)

Skydove Freight
This was one of the many legitimate businesses that were owned by Popara the Hutt, during the early years of the New Order. Skydove maintained a warehouse on the planet Endregaad for many years. (TF)

Sky-Dreadnaught
This huge airship was the primary warship of the fleet that protected Exocron from invasion. It was essentially a 200-meter long airspeeder, consisting of a central air-foil spar connected to two huge, finned cylinders. The crew consists of 340 officers and 120 gunners. The gunners handle outdated but nevertheless effective weaponry like 18 projectile cannons, 38 repeating percussion cannons, and 2 static ion field dischargers. These ships were incapable of travelling beyond Exocron's immediate atmosphere, with a flight ceiling of about 10 kilometers. They were escorted by squadrons of Skylark airspeeders, which could be landed in the central spar. (KO)

Skye
This rugged, mountainous planet was the homeworld of the S'kytri. During the height of the Clone Wars, the planet was kept free of Separatist control through the valiant efforts of Anakin Skywalker. However, years later, the Empire took control of the planet and renamed it Marat V. The planet was under Imperial control during the height of the Galactic Civil War, with Kharys ruling the world at the order of Darth Vader. However, Luke Skywalker's presence on Skye changed that, as he turned out to be the being who was prophesied to free the S'kytri from Kharys' domination. (LTA1, MCA1, SWI73)

Skyfang
This was another name for the mountain M'Nis, located on the planet Goroth Prime. (GSE)

Skyflipper
Developed by Sandtek, this small transport craft was designed to carry a pilot and passenger across short distances. (NEGC)

SkyFoil
This was Bespin Motors' amateur model of sling racer. It was capable of attaining speeds of 230 kilometers per hour. (SPG)

Skyguy
This was Ahsoka Tano's nickname for Anakin Skywalker, during the time she spent as Skywalker's Padawan. She used the nickname to break the ice between them, knowing that it rankled her teacher as much as it amused him. (CWN, CWVG)

SkyHawks
This speederbike gang roamed the streets of Gadrin, on the planet Cularin, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Although the gang members were primarily concerned with their own welfare, many of them supported the efforts of Borus's Boys in protecting the youth of the city. (NET2)

Skyheist 43v
This was a well-equipped repulsorcraft that was used on many aquatic worlds during the New Order and into the era of the New Republic. (GMR9)

Skyhook
The name given to any of the orbital platforms used by the wealthier residents of Coruscant as a stopover point in travelling from the ground into space. Thet were connected to a planet's surface by a long, flexible, elevator tube that was constructed from duracable. In order to remain in place without tangling with other skyhooks, each structure was placed in geosynchronous orbit with Coruscant, some 37,730 kilometers above the planet's surface. In order to maintain proper gravitational alignment, skyhooks were tethered at the top of the structure. Beings inside saw Corsucant above them, because of the skyhook's centrifugal force.

Some were simply small landing pads on which beings could wait for further transport. Others were lavish constructions nearly the size of asteroids. Emperor Palpatine's skyhook was particularly lovely, as it had been created as a botanical refuge from Coruscant's urban buildings. Prince Xizor tried to steal Palpatine's gardener for his own skyhook, Falleen's Fist, but the being had an "unfortunate accident" before his met his new employer. (SE, SSE, CN1)

Skyhook
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer was part of the fleet assigned to Han Solo and the Mon Remonda during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. In the attempt to trap Zsinj at Vahaba, the Crynyd and the Skyhook were assigned to protect the Interdictor cruiser Stellar Web. (SOC)

Skyhopper
This was a generic term used to describe any craft designed to operate in a planet's atmosphere, such as the Bestinian Skyhopper. (E6N)

Skyhopper
This was the brand name for Incom's T-16 pleasure/utility craft, originally produced during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was a tropospheric craft, although it shared a number of common systems with the X-Wing T-65. The Skyhopper had three wings, with two wings mounted on the sides of the craft and the third wing mounted on the top of the craft for stability. A system of gyrostabilizers allowed pilots to push the Skyhopper through tight turns and spins, giving the Skyhopper incredibly manueverability. Over time, the name skyhopper came to refer to any similar atmospheric craft. (E4, SHPT, RF3)

Skyhopper, Luke
Jabba the Hutt once questioned who this young man was, when an anonymous man arrived with news of Luke Skywalker's return to Tatooine. Jabba bellowed that he could care less about "Luke Skyhopper", before the man revealed that Skywalker a friend of Han Solo. Jabba hoped that Skywalker's presence on Tatooine meant that Solo was not far behind. (RF3)

Skyhouse
A form of architecture in which the entire house was levitated on repulsorlifts. The house then appears to float in the sky. (ZHR)

Skyjumper
This transport ship was owned by Drev Jalok. The ship was disabled over Altier by Drek Drednar and the Sable III. (SWJ5)

Skylane
This was generic term that was developed on the city-world of Coruscant. On Coruscant, skylanes made up to the complex magnetic pathways which were established to regulate traffic moving throughout Imperial City and around the planet. There were a mutlitude of levels of skylanes, and each level was dedicated to a specific direction or speed. Any craft wishing to travel on the planet had to have a navigational computer which could be slaved into the skylane's magnetic controls. Once a destination had been selected, the skylane control would move the craft along the magentic pathways, changing levels and directions as needed, until the craft reached its destination. This automated control kept traffic accidents to a minimum, which was important on Coruscant where thousands of craft of every size and ship moved around the planet each hour. The only vehicles that were allowed to move about on the skylanes on their own were government and military vehicles, as well as approved taxis. (IG1, RC66)

Skylark
This form of combat airspeeder was developed for use by the military police of the planet Exocron. They have a cylindrical shape highlighted by eight wing-like stabilizers. They were equipped with primitive wave-form communications terminals, and were armed with a single projectile cannon and two percussion cannons. (KO)

Skylight Market
Located at the very center of the Center Sphere district of Bartyn's Landing, on the planet Lamaredd, this open-air market was the ideal place to purchase exotic or illegal items on the planet. It was named for the fact that it was located beneath the open section of the Sphere. (GMR7)

Skylight Squadron
This group of TIE Fighters served aboard the Allegiance during the defense of Adumar. (SOA)

Skylimo
This was a generic term used to describe any luxurious speeder or other repulsorlift vehicle. Most of these vehicles were not privately owned, but were available for short-term rentals. (COD)

Skyline
This was a slang term used by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe the action of exposing one's position by standing up against an otherwise flat foreground structure. By hiding behind a structure, a clone troopers could prevent the enemy from locating their position. However, standing up and making a distinct contrast to the surrounding structure would make it easy for the enemy to find the trooper and fire on their position. (CWN)

Skylow, Tor
This former Imperial Navy officer convinced her crew - a group of customs inspectors on tour - to defect. They took over control of their frigate, and placed anyone who chose not to defect into the escape pods. The pods were jettisoned near Travnin, with Skylow informing the authorities of their whereabouts. The Empire responded to the defection by claiming Skylow and her crew cruelly left the Imperials to die. Skylow and her crew then fled to the Yelsain system, where they refitted the frigate and renamed it the Counter Puncher. They turned to waylaying Imperial supply ships, taking their cargoes but leaving the crews alive and intact. The goods they stole were then sold on Yelsain for cheap prices. In return, the natives of Yelsain hid Skylow's team whenever they were pursued. She had had several cyborg implants added to her athletic body, but the exact modifications were not known. She was the prototypical noble pirate, down to her flowing red hair and lavish dress. (GG6)

Skynara
This planet was located in Skine Sector. During the height of the New Order, Skynara was located at one end of the Five Veils' Tour Route, and it served as the home base of the luxury liner Veil of Skynara. (GG9, OWS)

Skynx
This Ruurian, a member of the K'zagg colony, was an expert on human history from the Tion Hegemony's pre-Old Republic era, during the early years of the New Order. Skynx was still in his larval stage when Alexsandr Badure approaced him to help translate the log-recorder that Lanni Troujow had recovered from the Queen of Ranroon on Dellalt. His agreement to help Badure came from a yearning to experience a true, human adventure before moving into his pupal stage. In addition to his historical knowledge, Skynx was adept at playing the musical instruments of his people. Skynx proved a valuable asset during the mission to Dellalt, helping to translate the ship's log-recorder and later tricking Gallandro into following him into the Queen of Ranroon's holds. This activated the ship's anti-weapons systems, killing Gallandro before he could kill Han Solo. When the mystery of the Queen of Ranroon was finally uncovered, Skynx left to return to his studies, hoping to complete them before he was forced to spin his cocoon and metamorph into a chroma-wing flier. He also offered Hasti and Badure a job, working with him as transport agents for the university and, after his transformation, as the university's caretakers. Skynx also offered Bollux and Blue Max positions at the university, since they were the only known automatons who had ever interacted with the Guardian Corps. (HSL)

Skynxnex, Arb
This tall, thin human was imprisoned on Kessel as a young man for his involvement with the criminal organization Black Sun. He had been arrested for assassination and theft, and he only escaped the death sentence because he was young and healthy enough to survive in the Spice Mines of Kessel. He later became part of Moruth Doole's spice-smuggling operation, in the wake of the Battle of Endor. He had been originally assigned to the Imperial Correction Facility, and grew in favor under Doole's watchful eye. After taking control of Kessel's glitterstim operations, Doole used Skynxnex as his liaison to the smugglers who transported loads of spice. Unfortunately, Skynxnex was killed shortly after Han Solo and Chewie crash-landed on Kessel, when they and Kyp Durron escaped from the mines. During his attempt to recapture Solo and the others, Skynxnex was impaled by an energy spider and eaten by the creature. (JS, WG, JASB)

Skypath Industries
This textile firm maintained an outlet on Dravian Starport. (GMH)

Skyraptor
Another combat airspeeder developed for the Exocron Airfleet, it was superior to the Skylark in terms of agility and armament. The Skyraptor was armed with two percussion cannons and four air-to-air rocket launchers. (KO)

Skyreach Hotel
This was one of the more popular hotels and taverns located on Cloud City, in orbit around the planet Bespin, during the height of the New Order. (GG9, OWS)

Skyrise
This was a term used on urban worlds like Coruscant to alternately describe the vast landscape created by skytowers, superskytowers, and other huge buildings, as well as the individual buildings themselves. (FJ1)

Skyrung Manufacturing
Headquartered in the city of Syward, on the planet of Lavisar, this corporation was a licensed builder of Lambda-class shuttles for the Empire. (IF)

Sky-scan Sensor
A portable sensor which can be mounted on high ground and used to monitor the approach of an enemy. (HSR)

Skysitter Restaurant
This was one of the most exclusive restaurants found in Galactic City, on the planet Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Only the wealthiest of the galaxy's Senators could afford to eat at the Skysitter, which sat atop a spire in a rotating structure that provided patrons with an expansive view of the city. It was located near the Nicandra Counterrevolutionary Signalmens' Memorial Building. (IWE2)

SkySlayer
This was the name given to one of Aratech's light assault ships. The SkySlayer measured 20 meters in length, and was armed with a pair of quad-laser cannons and four blaster cannons. It required a crew of seven. (SH)

Sky-sled
This was the name used to describe repulsorlift-equipped, flat-bed cargo vehicles on the planet Bri'ahl. (CWA4)

Skyspeeder
The primary mode of transportation used by the Cloud Riders on Aduba-3, a skyspeeder was the frame of an Aratech Peregrine 240 swoop which had been refitted with Nebulon-Q thruster jets. This pairing combined the speed and maneuverability of a swoop with the durability of a landspeeder. The main body of the skyspeeder was protected by an armored nosecone, and a pair of long rails served as landing gear. The Incom T-47 was a prime example of a skyspeeder, when it was modified to employ high-power repulsor engines and a pressurized cabin for high-altitude flight. (MC8, MC9, NEGV, GMR4)

Skytop Station
This space station was the site of a battle between General Grievous and a group of clone troopers led by Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano, during the height of the Clone Wars. Located in orbit around the stormy second moon that orbited Ruusan, the spherical station had been constructed by the Hyper-Communications Cartel as a place to monitor the HoloNet and analyze transmission data for clues and information about the Galactic Republic's plans for the war. The station itself was a converted Trade Federation core ship, but was dotted with huge rectennae and communications towers. The ventral pole of the station was distinguished by the antennae and masts that hung down from the station, providing stability and enhancing the station's ability to monitor communications from virtually any source.

General Grievous had captured R2-D2 after the Battle of Bothawui, and took the astromech droid to Skytop Station to discover what secrets were stored in the droid's memory banks. Skywalker and Tano, along with Captain Rex and Trooper Denal, infiltrated the station on a mission to destroy it, although part of the mission turned into a rescue operation. Rex and Denal rigged a series of explosives to destroy the station's main reactors, which shut down all power to the station's repulsors. Without the anti-gravitational support of its repulsors, Skytop Station plunged in the moon's stormy atmosphere, and eventually smashed into the surface of the moon. (CWTV07, CWVG, CWOC1)

Skytower
This was the term used to describe any tall building that stood out above a city skyline. These buildings were often tall enough that their upper stories reached into the clouds, but they were not as tall as superskytowers. (CN1)

Skytowers Residence
This apartment building, located in the city of Brenn on Genesia, was an Alliance safehouse during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. (FBS)

S'kytri
This was name of the race of tall, winged humanoids native to the planet Skye. Despite being loyal to the Empire during the Galactic Civil War, the S'kytri believed that a being would arrive on Skye and overthrow Kharys the Majestrix and free them. The prophesy had been set down shortly after the Clone Wars, when Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, and Anakin Skywalker saved Skye from total destruction. This being turned out to be none other than Luke Skywalker. The average S'kytri was distinguished by its green skin and silvery topknot of hair. In their native language, the name 'S'kytri' literally meant 'Windborn.' (LTA1, MCA1)

S'kytric
This was the spoken language of the S'kytri race. During the height of the New Order, S'kytric was nearly replaced by Basic when the Empire subjugated the planet Skye. However, in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, S'kytric was one of many forgotten languages embraced by folk singers and artists. (UANT)

Skytunnel
This term was developed on Coruscant to describe the shielded traffic lanes which wound through the upper levels of buildings across Galactic City, connecting main traffic lanes with each other. These skytunnels were constructed with openings at specific levels of several buildings, with connecting tunnels between buildings, creating a single pipeline for traffic to move from place to place. Skytunnels were developed to be bombproof, so that terrorists couldn't disrupt traffic flows. They also contained high-level tracking systems to monitor traffic and ensure that vehicles maintained safe speeds. Skytunnels were created to solve two problems. First and most obvious was the continual upward development of Galactic City's spacescraper buildings, which often rose into established traffic lanes. Second was the need to allow traffic to move through private or high-security zones, without allowing access to these zones. (IWE2)

Skywalker
This was a common surname among the human civilizations of the galaxy. It was held in different regards in different parts of the galaxy. For instance, because of Anakin and Luke Skywalker, it was regarded as a noble name among those beings who revered the Jedi Knights. By the same token, many of the Sith who lived during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy revered the Skywalker name because it was Anakin Skywalker who became Darth Vader. (RFDV, LF7)

Skywalker, Anakin
Anakin Skywalker grew up as a slave in the markets of Mos Espa, on Tatooine, arriving on the planet with his mother Shmi when he was just three years old. The details surrounding Anakin's birth were quite confusing, since Shmi revealed to Qui-Gon Jinn that Anakin had not father, that she simply found out she was pregnant and carried the child to birth. Years later, when the story of Darth Plagueis was revealed to Anakin by Chancellor Palpatine, it was theorized that Anakin had been brought to life by Plagueis himself. Anakin and his mother were owned by Gardulla the Hutt at the time, but were eventually won in a podracing bet by Watto. Despite his gruff demeanor, Watto treated the Skywalkers fairly. After meeting Qui-Gon Jinn, Anakin dreamed of becoming a Jedi Knight. His chances were enhanced when Qui-Gon learned of his immaculate conception, believing Anakin to be the Chosen One prophesied by the ancient Jedi lore. After winning the Boonta Eve Classic podrace and being freed by Qui-Gon, Anakin left Tatooine and traveled with the Jedi to Coruscant. Qui-Gon hoped to take the boy as a Padawan, but the Jedi Council initially refused to allow Anakin to begin the training. Jedi Masters Yoda and Mace Windu feared that he was too old, and too emotionally attached to his mother, to properly concentrate on his training.

Anakin was remanded to Qui-Gon's care, and followed the Jedi to Naboo, where he found himself hiding in the cockpit of an N-1 starfighter during the Battle of Naboo. When the ship suddenly launched itself while on auto-pilot, Anakin had R2-D2 restore manual control of the ship. This allowed Anakin to enter the Trade Federation's Droid Control Ship in an attempt to remain out of the main battle. When he tried to get the fighter started again, Anakin inadvertently fired its weapons on the ship's power conduits, setting off a chain reaction of explosions that destroyed the ship and allowed the Naboo and the Gungans to defeat the Federation's battle droid. After Qui-Gon was killed in battle by Darth Maul, the Jedi Council agreed that Anakin could trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi. His first lightsaber was constructed on Ilum, during a period of meditation and strange visions, but the weapon emitted a red blade. Anakin could only remember obtaining the red blade from a vision of Darth Maul. Eventually, Anakin grew into a brash young Jedi who was equally skilled as a swordsman and as a pilot. Anakin was still a headstrong young man, and the barriers of patience and hard work seemed to stifle his growing proficiency in the Force.

During much of his training, Anakin thought of just a few people: his mother on Tatooine; his current Master, Obi-Wan; his former Master, Qui-Gon; and Padme' Amidala. He thought of Qui-Gon often, since the man had been the first Jedi to believe that Anakin was destined for great things. Despite the warnings of the Jedi Council, Anakin maintained a number of relationship, and he believed that it was these attachments that made him a better Jedi. Nearly ten years after first meeting her, Anakin was reunited with Padme' Amidala, when he and Obi-Wan were assigned to guard her during the voting on the Military Creation Act. Although Obi-Wan questioned the Jedi Council's decision to send himself and Anakin, he later learned that Chancellor Palpatine had specifically requested their help. Anakin soon fell in love with Padme', but he was frustrated that this love was unreturnable. It was about this time that Chancellor Palpatine also noticed that young Anakin was growing stronger. Sensing the Force within him, Palpatine also sensed Anakin's desire to learn quickly, and his need for attachments. It was during this time that Anakin began experiencing powerful dreams of his mother's death, but Obi-Wan explained that they were just dreams, hoping to keep Anakin focused on his work. Against Obi-Wan's concerns, the Jedi Council assigned Anakin to watch over Padme' on a return trip to Naboo, and it was on Naboo that Padme' final realized she had feelings for Anakin.

Although she tried to minimize their contact, Padme' found that she was attracted to him. She also discovered that his dreams were getting worse, and she convinced him to travel to Tatooine, explaining that she was going there, and it was his job to protect her. However, upon reaching Tatooine and learning that Shmi Skywalker had married Cliegg Lars, Anakin discovered that Shmi had been captured by Tusken Raiders. He set out on his own, disregarding the warnings of Cliegg and his son, Owen. Although Anakin found Shmi in a Tusken Raider camp, she died shortly afterward, having seen her son one last time. After Shmi's death, Anakin became so enraged that he killed the entire clan, including the females and the children. Although he didn't know it, his descent into the Dark Side had begun. When he received a message from Obi-Wan, who was in trouble on Geonosis, Anakin relayed the message to Coruscant. He wanted to obey the Jedi Council's orders to remain on Tatooine, but Padme' recognized that they were closer to Geonosis, and would have a chance to save Obi-Wan. Anakin reluctantly agreed to leave Tatooine, but they were captured almost as soon as they reached Geonosis. Padme' feared that they might die on the remote world, and she openly declared her love for Anakin.

During the Battle of Geonosis, Anakin lost his right arm when he and Obi-Wan confronted Count Dooku, prompting a lightsaber duel in which Anakin became too impatient. The arm was replaced with a cybernetic prosthesis, but took away some part of Anakin's humanity. Many Jedi Masters also believed that it took away some of his connection to the Force, and although he remained as strong as ever, Anakin sometimes felt out of balance with the Force. Anakin slipped further from the Jedi ideal when he secretly married Padme' on Naboo, while ostensibly making sure that she returned safely to her homeworld. Anakin fought beside Obi-Wan during the Clone Wars, but Anakin's secrets and his anger often put them at odds. As the war ground on, Obi-Wan was forced to go off on a mission by himself, and Anakin was chosen to accompany Nejaa Halcyon to Praesitlyn. Anakin's quick thinking and daring heroics assured that the hostages there were saved, and the Jedi Council decided to promote him to the level of Jedi Knight upon his return. He made sure that his Padawan's braid was removed from the Jedi Temple and given to Padme' for safekeeping, as another reminder of his love for her. Note that Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Wild Space indicates that Anakin never completed the Jedi Trials. It also indicates that Anakin was promoted to Knighthood just four weeks after the Battle of Geonosis.

In an attempt to break Anakin's reliance on relationships and attachments, Master Yoda and the Jedi Council decided to give Anakin a Padawan learner of his own. They believed that the headstrong Togruta student, Ahsoka Tano, would give Anakin a chance to grow as a Jedi, and then teach him how to let go when she became a full Jedi Knight. Anakin bristled at this intrusion into his life, but he worked hard to become a good teacher. Although he was not given the proper title, Anakin came to think of himself as a Jedi Master, since he believed that the teaching of a Padawan elevated a Jedi to a higher rank. In episode three of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Jedi Master Plo Koon refers to Anakin as "Master Skywalker", which may have just been an indication of his position as Ahsoka's mentor. As the Clone Wars ground on, Anakin and Obi-Wan were often paired on missions throughout the Clone Wars, and Anakin became known as the Hero Without Fear, among other nicknames that were popularized by the HoloNet media. However, during every battle, Anakin struggled to maintain the delicate balance between being a true Jedi and being a devastating warrior. He was often filled with a killing rage on the battlefield, a feeling not unlike what he had felt when he had slaughtered the Tusken Raiders who had kidnapped his mother. Anakin told himself that he was not falling victim to the Dark Side of the Force, believing that destroying battle droids that were about to kill him was different than taking the life of a living being.

Anakin and Obi-Wan were recalled from active duty when General Grievous managed to capture Chancellor Palpatine. The pair managed to infiltrate the Invisible Hand and locate the Chancellor, but they were confronted again by Count Dooku. After Anakin beheaded Count Dooku during the brief struggle that ensued, it was hoped that the Clone Wars came to an end. However, the Outer Rim Sieges continued to rage, forcing the Senate to continue supporting the needs of Chancellor Palpatine. It was during this time that Chancellor Palpatine subtly introduced Anakin to the ways of the Dark Side of The Force, using stories of Darth Plagueis to make Anakin question the Jedi way. Anakin then learned that Padme' was pregnant with his child, although he soon began having dreams of her death during childbirth. Anakin realized that, with the power of the Darth Plagueis behind him, he would be able to provide for himself and his pregnant wife, and keep her alive no matter what happened. There would be nothing to hinder him, and his security seemed assured. However, when he learned that Chancellor Palpatine was actually Darth Sidious, Anakin tried to do what was right and warned the Jedi Council. It was during the struggle between Mace Windu and Palpatine that Anakin reached a crucial crossroads. Although he knew that Palpatine was the evil mastermind behind the Clone Wars, he could not let Master Windu simply kill him. Thus, when Windu raised his lightsaber to deliver a killing blow, Anakin intervened and used his own lightsaber to cut off Windu's hand. Palpatine took this opportunity to assert himself, and flung Windu out of a window. Anakin then submitted to the Dark Side, becoming Palpatine's student and assuming the title of Darth Vader.

Anakin the fall from the Light Side happened so quickly that Obi-Wan and the rest of the Jedi Council were powerless to stop it. As Darth Vader, Anakin became Palpatine's personal weapon, destroying the inhabitants of the Jedi Temple before traveling to Mustafar to destroy the Council of Separatists. Padme' and Obi-Wan both followed Anakin to Mustafar, where Anakin accused them of betraying him. After a heated argument in which Anakin nearly choked Padme' to death, Anakin and Kenobi confronted each other in a vicious lightsaber duel. They were evenly matched physically, but Obi-Wan's knowledge of the Force was much greater than Anakin's, and Kenobi was able to maintain his strength. Obi-Wan was forced to cut off Anakin's legs and arm in order to stop him, and Anakin fell into a lava-filled pit, where he was seared alive. Obi-Wan then turned his back on Anakin, taking up Anakin's lightsaber and leaving him to die in the hopes that the evil in the galaxy would be eliminated. Palpatine, however, managed to locate Anakin before he could die and pulled the burning Anakin from the pit. Palpatine spared no expense in trying to save Anakin, employing a team of medical droids to replace his lost limbs and fit him with a cybernetic life-support suit.

Meanwhile, Kenobi then fled with Padme', taking her to Polis Massa where she died during childbirth, just as Anakin had foreseen. It appeared that she died of a broken heart, as medical scans revealed no physical trauma. On Coruscant, Anakin's anger boiled over when he learned of Padme's death, especially when Palpatine explained that it had been Anakin himself who killed her. After giving in completely to his anger and hatred, Anakin Skywalker was supplanted by Darth Vader, who became Palpatine's minion. To the rest of the galaxy, Anakin was still a hero of the Clone Wars, and his disappearance led many to believe that he had died in the attack on the Jedi Temple. Others claimed that he was hiding in the Outer Rim Territories, along with Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Most of these rumors and stories appeared because Darth Vader simply emerged as Palpatine's enforcer, with no information about his past. Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, Palpatine was able to discover that Anakin had had a son. He used this knowledge to help secure his hold on the former Anakin Skywalker, as well as a way to help turn Luke to the Dark Side. The Light Side of Anakin Skywalker seemed to try and return to the surface, and Vader was faced with a crisis.

During the Battle of Endor, Luke managed to get the Light Side of Anakin to re-assert itself, and as the Emperor was trying to kill Luke, Anakin rose up and threw the Emperor down the Death Star's power shaft. The life-support systems that kept Darth Vader alive, however, were seriously damaged by the Emperor's Force lightning, and failed. Anakin died soon after Luke removed the facemask to allow Anakin to see his son with his own eyes. His spirit joined the Force, where it was reunited with that of Obi-Wan Kenobi. His former mentor taught Anakin's spirit how to become one with the Force, and attained a brief period visibility. This allowed Anakin's spirit to appear to Luke on the Forest Moon of Endor, along with the spirits of Yoda and Kenobi, to honor Luke's work in ending the reign of terror of the Empire.

Skywalker, Ben
This was the name given to the son of Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, born shortly after the Battle of Duro. Named to honor the memory of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ben was born aboard the converted Star Destroyer Errant Venture, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He was separated from his parents shortly afterward, both to protect him and allow them to fight against the alien invaders. Ben was taken in by his aunt and uncle, Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han, and brought up on Coruscant. When the Yuuzhan Vong launched their attack on Coruscant, Ben was in Leia's custody as the Solo family made its way to the Millennium Falcon. However, the intervention of Viqi Shesh forced Leia to turn Ben over to C-3PO, who was whisked aboard the Byrt instead of remaining with the Solos. Ben was then kept in several secure locations for the rest of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, including the Shelter base within the Maw, and Mara feared that this period of separation from his parents led to severe anxiety in young Ben. She found it increasingly difficult to locate him through the Force, and both Mara and Luke realized that Ben had started equating the use of the Force to the warfare and bloodshed of the conflict.

Thus, despite having an exceptionally strong connection to the Force, Ben unconsciously shut it off. He didn't want to touch the Force, for fear that it might bring more bad things into his life. With the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong, Luke and Mara resolved to spend more time with Ben, but the rigors of leading the new Jedi order continued to keep them apart. Luke and Mara acquired a Defender Droid to keep watch over Ben, but he found Nanna's presence infuriating. In several conversations, Ben admitted that he wanted to be more like his uncle, Han Solo: working on his own and doing things the hard way.

During the initial stages of the conflict with the Colony, Ben unknowingly befriended the first assassin bugs of the Gorog hive, unaware that he was putting his mother in danger. His relationship with the assassin bugs gave him a connection to the Gorog hive, although he was not considered as fully immersed as a true Joiner. It was during this time that Luke and Mara discovered that Ben opened up more whenever he was around his cousin, Jacen Solo, and asked Jacen to take Ben under his wing. Jacen agreed, but was careful not to call Ben an apprentice, since the youth continued to ignore the callings of the Force. However, over time, Ben began to tentatively touch the Force, and his connection was strengthened with Jacen's help. As a Padawan, Ben adopted the ancient tradition of growing a single braid of hair to indicate his status, despite the fact that this was not required by the modern Jedi Order. He displayed an uncanny ability to remember things that he had seen or heard with incredible accuracy.

It was not long before the raw power that was within Ben often bubbled to the surface, as when Jacen traveled to Hapes to see Tenel Ka. They found themselves in the midst of a Gorog assassination attempt on the lifes of Tenel Ka's infant daughter - of which Jacen was the father. His connection to the Gorog became evident when he was able to accurately locate the killer bugs in the ceiling and hidden escape tunnels, which helped them escape from the Gorog and confront Ta'a Chume. Ben's connection to the Gorog was not as deep as that of Jacen's sister, Jaina, which prevented him from becoming a true Joiner. In the wake of the struggle against UnuThul and the Colony, Ben continued to train as a Jedi under Jacen's tutelage. When he was thirteen, he accompanied Jacen on an investigation of the Dammant Killers weapons plant on Adumar, where they discovered illegal weaponry being produced for entities outside the Galactic Alliance. They were then dispatched to Centerpoint Station, on a mission to disable the station before Thrackan Sal-Solo could re-initiatize it and use it as a weapon. However, they were forced to split up when Jacen was captured by Sal-Solo, and Ben set out to complete the mission on his own. Ben discovered the unusual droid that had been programmed to "become" Anakin Solo, and convinced it to shut itself down before it was used as a weapon.

Ben later accompanied Jacen to Lorrd, during the investigation into the death of Siron Tawaler. It was Ben who was able to locate a shuttle that had fled Toryaz Station in the wake of Tawaler's murder, while Jacen was busy with Nelani Dinn. Upon returning to Coruscant, Ben became aware that he was no longer a kid, especially when he came to the realization that much of the growing conflict between Corellians and the Galactic Alliance was rooted in the disabling of Centerpoint Station. As terrorists both supporting and opposing Corellian independence caused violence on Coruscant, Ben understood that he needed to act, if only to ease his mind that it wasn't all his fault. Thus, when Jacen Solo was named the head of the Galactic Alliance Guard, Ben was more than happy to take on a role within the GAG himself. His perspective was skewed, however, when he befriended Barit Saiy, a youth who was Corellian by birth, but was a native of Coruscant. Ben was shocked when he saw Barit draw a blaster in an attempt to kill an officer of the Coruscant Security Force, and used the Force to deflect the shot.

This event forced Ben to choose between a potential friendship and his duty to the Galactic Alliance. In the end, Ben provided the location of the Saiy family's workshop to Jacen, which allowed the police to arrest Barit and his family as dissident. Barit swiftly denounced Ben and his assocation with the Galactic Alliance, leaving Ben with a hollow sense of purpose that only worsened when Jacen Solo tried to use the Force to interrogate Ailyn Habuur, only to have her die before revealing any information. While Ben understood the need to learn everything they could from Habuur, he failed to see how Jacen's use of the Force could be considered a reasonable way to obtain it.

The continued growth of Ben's powers and his responsibilities within the GAG worried his parents, who feared that Ben was falling onto the same path to the Dark Side that Jacen was. In an effort to assess his son, Luke ordered him to return to the Jedi Temple and meet him in combat in the Sparring Arena. Both of Ben's parents were aware that separating Ben from Jacen would be troublesome, but needed to know where their son stood.

When Jacen realized that there was a plot to assassinate Tenel Ka, Ben accompanied him to the Hapes Cluster aboard the Anakin Solo. While Jacen attended to the needs of Tenel Ka and her daughter, Allana, Ben was dispatched with the crew of the recon skiff Rover to Terephon, where they recovered Jaina Solo and Zekk. The two Jedi told of being attackjed by the Ducha Galney, who was willing to destroy her own family estate in an attempt to kill the Jedi. The group then raced back to Hapes with the knowledge of Ducha Galney's treachery, only to find themselves in the middle of the space battle between the Hapan Royal Navy and the Heritage Fleet. They managed to get a warning off to the Fountain Palace of the plot, but it required that the Rover fly into the battle. Ben was dismayed when the ship's crew agreed to remain onboard, even if it meant they would be shot down and killed.

The group of evacuees was rescued by Han and Leia Solo aboard the Millennium Falcon, and Ben was forced to place the Solos under arrest, as he believed them to be Corellian insurgents. He drew his lightsaber on Jaina Solo when she tried to help repair the ship, accusing her of conspiring with them. Zekk tried to stop Ben from being foolish, and the younger man lashed out with his lightsaber, burning a slash down Zekk's side. The confusion left Ben even more bewildered, unsure of how he was to gauge the loyalty of those closest to him.

In the wake of the Hapan action, Ben was given a secret assignment by Jacen: to recover the Amulet of Kalara. He found himself alone on the mission, stranded in the Drewwa Spaceport, without any credits. In order to survive, Ben discovered how easy it was to steal another being's credcards, a fact that only bothered him until he rationalized it in his own mind. His mind only became more confused when he tracked Faskus to Ziost, and he had to take in Faskus' daughter Kiara in order to complete the mission. The energy of the Force that was found on Ziost kept urging him to eat the young girl in order to maintain his strength, an action that repulsed him as much as it made sense to him. Ben fought through these feelings of confusion and dread, and eventually rescued himself and Kiara by locating a strange starship.

The ship could only be controlled through the Force, and was recognized as a Sith artifact when he returned it to Jacen. Although he knew that he had done what was required to complete the mission, Ben questioned the need for the mission, especially since it had cost Faskus his life and orphaned Kiara. His feelings about the mission concerned Lumiya, who questioned Ben's suitability as Jacen's apprentice. Ben himself knew that he was maturing, and went so far as to explain to his father that he was too far advanced to simply return to the life of a "normal" Padawan. He found that he was more right than he knew when Jacen suggested that Ben lead the mission to assassinate the Corellian Prime Minister, Dur Gejjen.

He traveled to Vulpter with Jori LeKauf and Lon Shevu, and was in position when Gejjen left his meeting with Cal Omas. Following his orders, Ben shot Gejjen in the head, killing the man instantly. Security agents flooded in, forcing LeKauf to sacrifice his own life to ensure that Ben and Shevu could escape. LeKauf's death shook Ben greatly, since the two had become good friends. He felt that he couldn't return to either Jacen's residence or that of his parents, and Shevu graciously offered to let Ben stay at his apartment for a couple of days. Ben tried to reconcile his conscience, but found that the only way to get past himself was to explain his actions to his mother. He met Mara in a tapcaf on Coruscant, and explained the whole thing. Although he was surprised that his mother didn't visibly react, Ben knew that she was angrier than she had ever been with Jacen Solo. Ben's own feelings toward Jacen changed forever when he overheard Jacen talking to Lumiya, and he realized that Jacen had been lying to him all along.

Thus, when Jacen set out on a secret trip to Hapes, Ben decided to follow him and see what was happening. He found Jacen locked in a starfighter duel with his own mother, and with Lumiya helping to force Mara's StealthX fighter to ground on Kavan. Ben managed to make contact the Sith Meditation Sphere that Lumiya was flying, and forced it to ignore her commands. He then tried to locate his mother, and was utterly shocked when he felt her death in a wave of Force energy. His sudden emotion allowed Lumiya to escape, but Ben had little concern for her.

He tracked his mother's presence to Kavan, where he discovered her body in a storm tunnel. Ben was both surprised and concerned when Jacen suddenly appeared, offering comfort and a pledge to track down Mara's killer. They brought Mara's body back to Ben's father, who believed that it had been Lumiya who killed her. Luke, who had killed Lumiya in order to avenge Mara, realized that it couldn't have been Lumiya who killed Mara after Ben explained that he had been holding Lumiya hostage when he felt Mara's death.

It was shortly after this that Ben came to believe that his own cousin, Jacen Solo, had been responsible for his mother's death. He chose to confront Jacen with this information, before allowing himself to "accept" Jacen's alibis in order to stay close to Jacen and gather more evidence against him. Unfortunately, Jacen's story implicated the former Chief of State, Cal Omas, in Mara's death. Ben decided to confront Omas, in order to gain back Jacen's trust. He did not want to kill Omas, however, since he was convinced of Jacen's guilt. Omas, however, knew that Jacen would need to see evidence of his demise, and sacrificed himself so that it would look like Ben killed him.

Ben then returned to Jacen's side, aboard the Anakin Solo, and bided his time. He tried to attack Jacen during the assault on Kashyyyk, but only succeeded in killing Commander Twizzl. However, this attack gave Jacen - who had become secretly Darth Caedus - reason to believe that Ben might still become a Sith. Ben, for his own part, played the role of a student perfectly, although he controlled his hatred of Jacen and used it to focus on exposing the truth about his cousin. He was unprepared when Jacen placed him in the Embrace of Pain aboard the Anakin Solo, but Ben fought through it until he found an unexpected ally. His own father, Luke, had infiltrated the Star Destroyer to confront Jacen, and drove Jacen to the ground before freeing Ben. Ben demanded to be the one to kill Jacen, but Luke refused to allow him to succumb to the desire to avenge his mother. This brief discussion gave Jacen a chance to recover, but Ben plunged his mother's vibroblade into Jacen's back before he could attack Luke. They left Jacen to die, and set out to escape from the ship.

In the weeks that followed, Ben worked to repair his relationship with his father. However, it seemed that he was the only being in the galaxy who had figured out that his mother had been killed by Jacen Solo. His father had believed it was Lumiya, then Alema Rar, who had been behind Mara's murder. Thus, when Alema Rar was finally killed by Jagged Fel, Luke finally came to believe that Mara's death had been avenged. Ben, however, still maintained that Jacen was the true murderer, and struggled to find enough evidence to convince his father of this truth. While discussing the galactic situation with his father, Ben tried to bring Luke back to the realization that the Jedi needed him to be a leader. When Luke refused to buy into this thought, Ben had a horrible thought: maybe his father wanted to be dead, so that he could finally be with his wife. When Ben confronted Luke with this idea, Luke suddenly realized that Ben was closer to the truth than he knew. As Luke emerged from his grief, he gave Ben permission to begin building his own lightsaber.

Ben later accompanied Luke on a mission to destroy Centerpoint Station, because of his knowledge of the station's interiors. However, even though the mission was nominally a success, Ben found that he still felt as if he were the only person who knew who had killed his mother. Since his father still believed that it had been Alema Rar, Ben turned to his aunt, Leia Organa Solo, for someone to talk to. This wasn't much easier, telling his aunt that he was convinced that her son had killed his mother, but Leia listened to his reasoning. She didn't come out and agree with him, but made Ben think about keeping an open mind as he started his own investigation.

Ben took a leap of faith and contacted Lon Shevu, hoping that the GAG officer would help him discover the identity of Mara's killer. Shevu, who had had enough of Jacen Solo's actions, readily agreed, and even used a three-day vacation to travel to Kavan with Ben to perform another sweep of the crime scene. On Kavan, Ben was visited by a ghostly image of his mother, in which she pulled several hairs out of her head and motioned that he take them. The hairs didn't really exist, at least on Kavan, but Ben realized that he might find some if he investigated Jacen's StealthX fighter. Shevu once again used his connections to help Ben, providing him a forensics droid and access to the fighter when Jacen traveled to Fondor. They found several of Mara's hairs in the cockpit, some of them covered in blood, and at least one with the follicle still attached. The forensics droid later confirmed that the hair was Mara's giving Ben the evidence he needed to confront his family.

Shevu only added to the evidence in the wake of the Second Battle of Fondor, when he secretly recorded a meeting with Jacen Solo, in which he explained why he had to kill Mara Jade Skywalker. Jacen firmly believed that he had killed her as part of a grander plan to save the galaxy, which gave his "confession" an air of legitimacy. However, for Ben and his father, it gave them the information necessary to formalize plans to bring Jacen to justice. In the wake of this revelation, Ben was elevated to the rank of Jedi Knight. He was somewhat surprised to learn that he had been chosen to accompany Jaina Solo on a Jedi-sanctioned mission to destroy Darth Caedus. The mission was nearly cut short when Ben was intercepted by Tahiri Veila on Coruscant, during a meeting with Lon Shevu. He was brought down by the stunning fire of the GAG guards who accompanied her, and was taken away for interrogation.

Using a Force blocking technique he had learned from Jacen, Ben refused to answer the questions of the droid SD-XX, which relentlessly pressed him for the location of the new Jedi base. When the droid had to give up, Tahiri took over the interrogation, trying to use her feminity to coerce Ben into answering. Ben refused to be drawn into her plans, forcing Tahiri to take a different tack. She took him out of his cell and brought him to the primary torture area, where he was forced to look upon the damaged body of Lon Shevu. Tahiri gave Ben the chance to save Shevu's life, in exchange for information on the Jedi base. Shevu refused to let Ben give up the information, and suffered a heart attack while Tahiri tortured him.

With Shevu's life no longer a bargaining chip, Ben realized that he had the upper hand. He goaded Tahiri into slapping him hard across the face, which knocked over his hoverchair and gave him a moment of confusion in which to act. Drawing upon the Force, Ben shoved Tahiri into her two guards, allowing himself to get free of the hoverchair. He then used the Force to nudge one guard's weapon off-target, striking Tahiri with a stunning blast. Once he was free, Ben gained the confidence of the two guards, who gave him enough information to attempt an escape. Before he left, Ben dumped Tahiri's body into a processing chute, then arranged to take Shevu's body and send it on to his widow on Valkin.

After being returned to Shedu Maad by Trista and Taryn, Ben was placed in command of the evacuation of the Jedi younglings from the Jedi base, after it was learned that Darth Caedus had followed Jaina Solo to the hidden base. Ben took the younglings to Uroro Station, as part of a plan to draw Caedus' forces into The Throat. When Caedus made to attack the station, Ben would then transport the younglings away from the station, with the intent of drawing Caedus deeper into a Jedi trap. When the word was given, Ben and Trista and Taryn made sure that the younglings were safe, then took their transports back to Shedu Maad. There, they were beset by ships from the Imperial Remnant, which had been ordered to attack the world, but lacked any detailed knowledge about where the Jedi base might be.

Ben and the twins learned that General Livette of the Hapan military had supplied the Imperials with information on the Jedi base, and had allowed them to land on the planet, despite orders from Tenel Ka herself. Livette had been loyal to Ducha Requud, but her loyalty gave way after the Ducha was killed. Ben and Taryn then set out to confront the approaching Imperial force, which was led by Tahiri Veila. Ben then confronted Tahiri during a firefight, and their lightsaber battle took them beneath the planet's surface. Ben appealed to Tahiri to break off her attack, hoping to return her to the Light Side of the Force. When Tahiri relented, Ben offered to help her regain her standing in the Jedi Order. Tahiri questioned this offer, but realized that Ben had been right about Darth Caedus all along, and finally surrendered. Ben felt some satisfaction at having returned Tahiri to the Light Side of the Force, and then began to work with his father to help restore the Jedi Order. They reunited with each other over the next three years, and Ben eventually became a Jedi Knight in his own right. He experienced a time of relative peace that was shattered when Luke was arrested by the Galactic Alliance Security force and charged with failing to prevent the conflict that arose from Jacen Solo's rise to power. Luke accepted the Galactic Alliance's offer, agreeing to step down as Grand Master for ten years and keeping out of the business of the Jedi Order until he was allowed to return. Ben asked to accompany his father when Luke set out to retrace some of Jacen's steps, stating that he needed to know about Jacen's past as much as Luke did, and Luke agreed to allow him to come along.

When Luke left Coruscant behind to start his sentence, he and Ben set out for the planet Dorin, where they hoped to speak to the Baran Do Sages. While Luke met with Mistress Tila Mong, Ben spent time with Tistura Paan and Charsae Saal. When Saal announced that he had accepted his death, Ben and his father were invited to the farewell ceremony, and Luke was surprised to discovered that Saal had not actually died. Instead, the Skywalkers tracked the Kel Dor to the Caverns of the Hidden One, deep beneath Dorin's surface, and were only mildly welcomed by the assembled beings there. Koro Ziil, the current Hidden One, refused to listen to their requests to return to the surface, but he did allow the Skywalkers to begin integrating themselves into the community. On one walk through the caverns, Ben discovered the self-destruct system that Koro Ziil had installed in the caverns, as a safeguard against outside attack. Ben later revealed that he knew about the self-destruct system when the Hidden One's violent attack on Luke proved unsuccessful, and Koro Ziil refused to allow them to leave. Ben triggered the system, forcing Koro Ziil to accept the death of his people or reveal that there was an escape route.

After leaving Dorin, the Skywalkers traveled to the Kathol Rift, where Luke hoped to learn more about Jacen's training among the Aing-Tii monks. Although the Aing-Tii were willing to teach them, Luke refused to allow Ben to participate in the training. When Ben confronted his father about this, Luke explained that he had assumed Ben would use the strange Force techniques to travel back in time and try to make things right. Ben scoffed at the idea, although inwardly he knew that his father was not far from the truth. In order to avoid making this revelation, Ben stormed off to be alone. Luke eventually allowed Ben to learn the flow-walking technique, but Ben refused to actually attempt it, in order to try and patch up his relationship with his father. Luke eventually realized that Ben was not going to do anything rash or stupid, and allowed Ben to complete his training and use the technique on his own. On his first attempt, Ben was surprised to fnd himself returning to the time when Jacen Solo was staying among the Aing-Tii and learning from Tadar'Ro. The realization that he could do nothing to affect Jacen's eventual path toward becoming Darth Caedus tore at Ben's heart, and he came to the devastating conclusion that he could never have saved Jacen. The experience was enough to make Ben understand that is was best to simply live in the present, and he decided that he would not try to flow-walk again in the future.

Tadar'Ro had given Luke the knowledge that Jacen had left the Aing-Tii and headed to the Maw cluster of black holes, where he hoped to find the beings known as the Mind Drinkers. Luke set off for the Maw, and Ben began to remember some of his time there. He still had a deep-seated fear of a dark, tentacle-like presence he had felt while at Shelter base, and he resolved to face it once they arrived at the Maw. Once within the Maw, Luke and Ben discovered Sinkhole Station and the Mind Walkers who lived inside it, but the existence of the Mind Walkers seemed at once spiritual and destructive. Luke decided to attempt mind walking, in order to fully experience what Jacen had, while Ben remained behind to help the Mind Walkers and ensure his father's safety. Rhondi and Rolund Tremaine were two of the Mind Walkers that Ben helped during this time, feeding them and giving them fluids to restore their deteriorating bodies. However, the Tremaines took turns ocupying Ben's attention, while the other removed the feeding and watering tubes that Ben was using to keep Luke nourished. When Ben discovered their duplicity, he demanded answers about what they were doing. When they stalled, Ben experienced feelings of anger and rage at the Tremaines and the other Mind Walkers, and he feared that he was coming under the same Force psychosis that others had experienced. Rather than let the psychosis overtake him, Ben forced the Tremaines to leave him alone with his father.

When the physical bodies of Seek Ryontarr and Feryl both expired while they were mind walking with Luke, Ben feared that his father might also die. Taking matters into his own hands, he locked Rolund Tremaine in a sleeping cabin, then forced Rhondi Tremaine to accompany him on his own mind walking mission. They found Luke's Force presence, along with those of Ryontarr and Feryl, near the Lake of Apparitions. Wading into the Lake, Ben and Luke encountered specters of Anakin Solo and, wrenchingly, Mara Jade Skywalker. It was Mara who implored Ben to focus on living his life to the fullest, and not worry about what kind of legacy he left behind. Ben took this to heart, but refused to allow Luke to leave the Lake and move into the Mists of Forgetfulness. When Luke refused to leave, Ben demanded to go along, so that his father would be able to return to the real world. However, as they walked and walked, and never seemed to get any closer to the Mists, Ben tried to turn them around and head back to the Jade Shadow.

They were then confronted by the apparition of Jacen Solo, who asked for no forgiveness from them. Instead, Jacen's specter asked them to tell Jaina Solo that he had forgiven her, and Ben lashed out at Jacen, demanding to know why Jacen had put his own sister through the torture she had endured. Luke ordered Ben to calm down, then tried to ask Jacen about what he had seen near the Throne of Balance. Luke told Jacen about his own vision of Allana, Jacen's daughter, assuming a peaceful rulership of the galaxy, and Jacen explained that such a vision meant that his own vision of the future had not come to pass. Jacen then began to sink back into the Lake of Apparitions, but he implored Ben to be decisive in his own life, to choose and act, rather than let events pass him by. With Jacen's departure, Luke decided that it was time to return to the Jade Shadow. Before they could make their departure, however, the Skywalkers were beseiged by a group of strange Sith warriors. Both men fought to the death with their opponents, although Luke managed to capture one young woman who tried to kill him. Ben urged his father to get rid of the woman, but Luke wanted her alive. It was then that Ben sensed the presence of the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship, giving the Skywalkers the clue to realize that their attackers were actually Sith.

Skywalker, Cade
This young man was a direct descendant of Anakin Skywalker and his son, Luke Skywalker, and came into his own about 130 years after the Battle of Yavin. As the son of Kol Skywalker and Morrigan Corde, Cade trained briefly as a Jedi Knight under Master Wolf Sazen. His training came to an end after the Jedi Temple on Ossus was destroyed in the wake of the Sith-Imperial War, when Darth Nihl launched a devastating attack on the Ossus compound. Nearly every Jedi Knight and Master was slaughtered by the Sith, until only Kol and Master Sazen remained alive. As they valiantly tried to hold off the Sith and allow Cade and a group of younglings to escape, Cade returned to Ossus with the belief that he could help them. Kol was forced to send his son back to the escape craft, ordering him to flee so that he would survive.

Cade returned to the ship with the dying body of Master Sazen, and became enraged that Sazen was about to die. Calling on his emotions, Cade unleashed a blast of Force Lightning to shock Master Sazen back to life. He then took a small fighter to defend the escape ship, and apparently died while diverting the Sith who followed them.

Somehow, though, Cade managed to survive the explosion of his fighter, and was forced to leave the Jedi when Rav's band of pirates found him in orbit around Ossus. In order to survive, he posed as another pirate who had been on Ossus to loot the Jedi Temple. He then provided Rav with the location of several Jedi storage rooms, allowing the pirates to loot various artifacts. This earned him the friendship of Jariah Syn, as well as the trust of Rav.

After dropping the Skywalker name to avoid any connection to his heritage, Cade then became a bounty hunter, but continued to struggle with his links to his past. He became addicted to death sticks, an addiction that employers like the Feeorin pirate, Rav, used to control Cade.

In addition to his physical demons, Cade was haunted by the spirit of his ancestor, Luke Skywalker, who came to him regularly in visions to implore Cade to fulfill his destiny. Cade, for his part, admitted to his ancestor that he feared his emotions would plunge him into the Dark Side of the Force, and refused to accept his heritage. He once threatened to take his own life, in order to put an end to Luke's ethereal visitations.

After a mission in which he delivered the renegade Jedi Hosk Trey'lis to Rav, Cade's path crossed that of the exiled Imperial Princess, Marasiah Fel. He agreed to transport her from Socorro to Vendaxa, hoping to learn the location of her father and collect the incredible bounty on his head. On Vendaxa, their group was reunited with Shado Vao and Jedi Master Wolf Sazen. However, they were also being hunted by Darth Talon, who had been sent by Darth Krayt himself to capture the Princess. When the Sith Lord threatened his crew, Cade was forced to draw on his own connection to the Force in order to save them. He used the Force to drop a massive section of starship debris on Darth Talon's body, crushing her before she could do any more harm.

The Sith Lord was not dead, however, and called in reinforcements to help finish the job. In the fighting the followed, Cade frozen, remembering that fateful day on Ossus when his father was cut down and killed. His stupor was broken when Marasiah was nearly killed by one of the Sith. Drawing on his emotions and vowing that nobody else was going to die for him, Cade took up the Princess' lightsaber and attacked the Sith, holding Darth Nihl off long enough for his crew to get the Princess aboard the Mynock and ready the ship for takeoff.

Once away from Vendaxa, Cade drew on his powers to help heal the Princess, bringing her back from the brink of death. After delivering her and the other Imperials to Bastion, Cade set out on his own with Master Sazen and Shado Vao. Unable to come to terms with who he was, Cade left them and traveled alone to Ossus, where he consumed several death sticks in an effort to cut himself off from the Force. In his delirium, he was visited by the ghosts of his ancestors, including Mara Jade Skywalker and Darth Vader. Just as the apparition of Vader was about to kill him, Cade awoke to find his former teacher, Master K'kruhk, standing over him. K'kruhk explained that he had come to restore Cade's mind and soul, and help him return to the Force.

Cade's frustration only increased when Shado Vao and Wolf Sazen appeared on Ossus, forcing him to confront his future. Cade reluctantly asked Master Sazen to begin retraining him as a Jedi, if only to help him better understand his place. While Vao and K'kruhk questioned Cade's commitment, Master Sazen fully agreed to take on Cade's training. During a training session with Master Vao, Cade stumbled upon a cave that contained a wealth of ancient Jedi artifacts. He and Vao were surprised to be confronted by a group of Yuuzhan Vong, led by Nei Rin, who had been hiding in the cave.

Nei Rin then revealed that the Yuuzhan Vong had been gathering Jedi artifacts and histories ever since the Massacre on Ossus, hoping that one day the Jedi would return to claim their legacy. Cade was angry to learn that Nei Rin wanted him to serve as the focal point of this legacy, and help restore the Jedi Order to its former strength. He refused to become a slave to the legacy that Nei Rin believed she was protecting. In a later argument, Cade explained to Master Sazen that he had come to Ossus with a supply of death sticks in the hopes of finally confronting the member of his father, Kol, and learning why Cade could no longer sense his presence. The two argued and fought for a long period of time, trading physical and emotional blows before Sazen finally explained that nothing Cade could have doen to save his father would have changed what happened. Kol sacrificed himself to ensure the survival of those Jedi that survived, including Cade.

Cade finally understood what had happened, and opened himself to Master Sazen's teachings. While in the Meditation of Emptiness, Cade experienced a vision of his ancestor, Luke Skywalker, who demanded that Cade rescue Hosk Trey'lis in order to bring balance to his actions. Before Cade left Ossus, Master K'kruhk gave him a gift: the astromech droid R2-D2, which had been in the Skywalker family for generations. Cade then traveled to Coruscant, and managed to sneak into the underlevels of the city with only minimal interference from Imperial starfighters. Before setting out on his mission, though, Cade left a message for Jariah Syn and Deliah Blue in R2-D2's memory banks, explaining the truth behind his life and that of his family. He left the access codes to the Mynock with Queen Jool, in case either of them arrived on the planet in search of him.

Cade started his search in the Sith Temple itself, but was soon apprehended by Darth Talon. He would have defeated the female Sith Lord, but was stopped when Darth Nihl arrived. The Nagai used the Force to choke Cade into submission, and would have killed him if the orders from Darth Krayt were to take Skywalker alive. Cade was then tortured by Darth Maladi, who flooded his body with Ixetal cilona. Using the Force, Cade expelled the drug and resisted her ministrations, until Darth Krayt intervened and began torturing Deliah Blue and Jariah Syn in front of Cade. Cade was forced to choose between saving his friends and refusing to help the Sith.

He had never tried to save two people at one time, which was part of Darth Krayt's plan to learn the true extent of Cade's powers. Goaded by the Sith Lord, and drawing heavily on the Dark Side of the Force, Cade managed to heal his friends. He then agreed to work for the Sith in exchange for their freedom, a deal that Darth Krayt accepted with scorn and contempt. After explaining his past to Cade, Darth Krayt then forced him to heal Darth Talon, further forcing Cade down a path to the Dark Side of the Force. Cade reluctantly accepted Darth Krayt's offer, and turned himself over to the Sith. However, he remained determined to keep from falling to the Dark Side of the Force, but did a poor job concealed it from his captors. He tried to escape one night, but was intercepted by Darth Talon and brought before the Sith Lord. Darth Krayt then ordered Cade to murder Hosk Trey'lis, in order to make the sacrifice that would bring him further down the path to becoming a Sith. Cade refused, and even Hosk Trey'lis remained defiant in the face of certain death. When Darth Krayt cut down the Bothan, both he and Cade were surprised to see Trey'lis' body simply disappear into the Force.

Cade then heard the voice of his father, Kol, in the Force, and knew what he had to do. Cade destroyed the transparisteel case holding Kol's lightsaber, then confronted the gathered Sith Lords. He ran Darth Talon through with the weapon before attacking Darth Nihl, and would have killed him if Darth Krayt had not stepped into the battle. Cade briefly let himself draw strength from the Dark Side of the Force to confront the leader of the Sith Order. Their struggle was evenly matched, until Morrigan Corde blasted Darth Krayt in the back with her blaster. Corde had been on a mission for Morlish Veed to ensure Skywalker escaped from the Sith Temple, and her interference gave Cade a chance to escape. Cade was more than surprised to learn that Corde was his mother, but she disappeared into the Coruscant undercity before he could learn more from her.

Cade then set out to return to Socorro with Chak'ka, in an attempt to recover the Grinning Liar and put an end to Rav's control over his life. When Rav refused to give in, Cade killed most of the thugs in the Golden Gorg, then confronted Rav directly. With the help of his lightsaber and some Force lightning, Cade was able to force Rav to accede to his demands. Cade then traveled to the Rawk's Nest on Iego, hoping to escape from the conflict in the galaxy, but a newscast identified him as a terrorist who had attacked the Sith Temple on Coruscant. "Bantha" Rawk, whom Cade had learned was actually his uncle, Nat Skywalker, confronted him about his brash and impulsive actions, and the two came to blows before settling down. In order to escape from it all, Cade decided to indulge in a death stick, and was confronted by the spirits of Luke Skywalker and his own father, Kol Skywalker. The two spirits warned of great events brewing in the galaxy, but their appearance was cut short when Azlyn Rae intruded on Cade's solitude.

Her arrival on Iego was followed by that of Imperial Captain Gurlok, who had been tipped off to Cade's presense by a group of Black Sun operatives. Azlyn used the Force to convince Gurlok that Cade had never been on the planet, allowing Cade to escape capture. However, the sudden appearance of the Imperials, following on the heels of the mass murders on Mon Calamari, only served to convince Cade that he needed to bring down Darth Krayt and his New Sith Order. When Cade explained his plan to his uncle, Bantha told him about the Hidden Temple, and Cade decided to make his way to Taivas. There, the group was greeted by Cade's fellow Jedi, but also by a group of Imperial Knights who had followed Azlyn Rae's beacon to the moon.

At the Hidden Temple, Cade quickly grew frustration with the assemlbed Jedi Masters, who refused to take any direct action against the Sith. Drawing on his experiences with Darth Krayt and his minions, Cade advocated for a pre-emptive strike against Darth Krayt, knowing that the Sith Lord had no heir, and was in failing health. Masters K'Kruhk and T'ra Saa refused to accept Cade's plans, stating that assassination was not the Jedi way. However, Cade found unlikely allies in the gather Imperial Knights, who believed that his plan might be the best way to save the galaxy. (SWI87, SWI88, SWLB, SWLT, SWLG, SWLC, SWLL, SWLHT)

Skywalker, Kol
This man was one of the descendants of Luke Skywalker, and was a member of the Jedi Council more than 100 years after the Battle of Yavin. He served on the Council until his death, and was survived by his rebellious son, Cade. Cade was the son borne to Morrigan Corde, who had fallen in love with Kol and spent a few years on "an extended field assignment" during their affair. Unfortunately for Kol, Corde was forced to chose between her new family and her Imperial career, and she chose to return to the New Empire. This left Kol to raise his son on his own.

During the height of his career, Kol was known as the Jedi who championed the Ossus Project, hoping to bring the galaxy - including the Yuuzhan Vong - together. His work with the Shaper known as Nei Rin championed the use of Yuuzhan Vong biotechnology to heal damaged planets, as well as heal the rift between the Yuuzhan Vong and the rest of the galaxy. Unknown to Kol, the new Sith order led by Darth Krayt had silently sabotaged the Ossus Project, causing the terraforming to go badly wrong. The resulting uproar in the galaxy led to a general mistrust of the Jedi, which reached all the way to the top of the Galactic Alliance. When Rear Admiral Piers Petan suggested a plan to capture or kill Imperial Emperor Roan Fel, Skywalker refused to go along, claiming that the intelligence upon which the plan was based was suspect. Skywalker argued that it was little more than a trap that was meant to draw out the Galactic Alliance make them vulnerable to attack. Skywalker's instincts proved true when the trap was spring and the Galactic Alliance was soundly defeated at the Battle of Caamas.

In the face of the coming war, and faced with the civil unrest at the outcome of the Ossus Project, the Galactic Alliance was forced to surrender to the new Empire of Roan Fel. The Jedi, however, refused to accede, and retreated to Ossus. There, the Jedi were brutally attacked by Darth Nihl and his Sith forces, until only Kol, Cade, Shado Vao, and Wolf Sazen were left to protect a small group of younglings. Kol and Wolf ordered the others to flee Ossus, and turned to confront Darth Nihl. Master Sazen was swiftly cut down, and Kol was forced to sacrifice himself to ensure Cade and the other Jedi escaped. When Cade tried to return to Ossus and fight with his father, Kol angrily forced the young boy back onto the escape ship. He died as the Jedi fled Ossus, knowing that his son had turned dangerously close to the Dark Side of the Force.

When Nei Rin and her guardians returned to Ossus, having been on Zonama Sekot to investigate the failure of the Ossus Project, they found Kol among the dead Jedi who had resisted the Sith. Nei Rin gave him a proper Jedi funeral, and vowed to keep the Jedi legacy alive until another could arrive to restore the Jedi to prominence. Nei Rin later believed that this being was none other than Kol's son, Cade.

Many years later, Kol Skywalker's spirit appeared to his son in the Sith Temple on Coruscant, where Cade had been forced to accept training at the hands of Darth Krayt. Kol spoke briefly to Cade, and gave him the knowledge that Cade's healing powers could also be used to destroy something. Cade realized what his father meant, and used his powers to destroy the transparisteel case in which Darth Krayt had stored Kol's lightsaber. Cade then drew upon the Force to confront the Sith Lords and make his escape. (SWI88, SWLB, SWLT, SWLG, SWLC, SWLI)

Skywalker, Luke
Luke was the son of Anakin Skywalker and Padme' Amidala, and the older twin brother to Princess Leia Organa. He was separated from his sister just after their birth, in order to conceal his potential Force-sensitivity from the Emperor and Darth Vader. He was hidden on the planet Tatooine by Obi-Wan Kenobi, and lived his early years under the watchful eyes of Owen and Beru Lars. The Larses decided to name the infant "Skywalker," in honor of Shmi Skywalker, who was Owen's stepmother. Obi-Wan remained on Tatooine to keep watch over Luke, a situation that led to several confrontations with Owen Lars, who wanted nothing more to do with Kenobi or the Jedi. As a child, Luke was an eager boy, and was always flying his T-16 skyhopper in the canyons near his home while dreaming of being a starpilot at the Academy. He was quite skilled in repairing the skyhopper and the speeders used by Luke and Owen to travel to nearby towns. Known as Wormie by his friends, he was a reckless youth whose best friend was Biggs Darklighter. When Biggs went off to the Academy, and later the Alliance, Luke felt that he was being mistreated by his Uncle, who annually refused to allow Luke to enroll.

Fate and fortune intervened, however, when Owen purchased two well-worn droids named Artoo-Detoo and See-Threepio. With their purchase, Luke was catapulted into the midst of the Alliance. Artoo-Detoo's escape from the Lars moisture farm brought Luke into contact with Obi-Wan Kenobi, and perhaps saved him from the executions that befell his aunt and uncle. Obi-Wan Kenobi began to instruct Luke in the use of The Force, slowly at first, giving the youth simple lightsaber lessons after returning Anakin's lightsaber to him. Luke then rescued Princess Leia from the first Death Star with the help of Han Solo. Following Kenobi's death, Luke destroyed the Death Star by calling on The Force to guide his hand, rather than relying on the technology in his starfighter. Alliance personnel were forced to make Luke's role in the Battle of Yavin a top-secret fact, hoping to keep him safe from Imperial reprisal. Later, Luke was visited by Kenobi's spirit, and directed to the planet Dagobah, where Luke trained under the Jedi Master Yoda. Following Yoda's death, Luke became the last of the Jedi Knights. He used his new-found strength to defeat Emperor Palpatine and turn Darth Vader from the Dark Side of the Force, returning Anakin Skywalker to the Light Side.

Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Luke was instrumental in the New Republic's defeat of the Ssi-ruuk. Luke was then promoted to the rank of General in the New Republic military, and was given command of the Rapid Response Task Force. The RRTF's first mission led to the Battle of Mindor, when Luke and his military force was dispatched to put an end to the chaos being caused by Lord Shadowspawn. On Mindor, Luke was surprised to learn that "Lord Shadowspawn" was actually Nick Rostu, who had been captured by Lord Cronal and forced to serve as his most powerful Pawn. This momentary lapse in concentration allowed Cronal's Pawns to capture Luke and seal him in meltmassif stone, in preparation for a procedure that would allow Cronal to transfer his consciousness into Luke's brain.

Following the Battle of Mindor, Luke spent his time trying to search for other Force-sensitive beings, in an effort to rebuild the Jedi Knights. He was forced to allow himself to fall to the Dark Side of the Force in order to defeat the reborn Palpatine, and was instrumental in the New Republic's efforts to defeat Imperial Admirals Thrawn and Daala. In between adventures, Luke continued his training on his own, and eventually became a Jedi Master. He set up a new Jedi Academy on Yavin's fourth moon, and began teaching the ways of The Force to a new set of Jedi Knights. During the period following the revelations of the partial Caamas Document found on Wayland, Luke travelled to Nirauan to search for Mara Jade. Mara was reported missing and out of touch, after tracing the paths of several unusual starships. They discovered the Hand of Thrawn complex, and managed to eliminate any potential threat it held to the New Republic. During their escape, Luke and Mara worked together with the Force, and both were opened up to the other's inner thoughts and feelings. This deepened and strengthened their relationship to a point that neither could ignore. Just before leaving Nirauan, Luke proposed to Mara. She agreed, and they were married, first in a solemn ceremony performed by Kam Solusar and witnessed only by the Jedi, and later in a public ceremony when they returned to Coruscant.

Luke and Mara then left the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 in the hands of the new Jedi Knights and travelled the galaxy teaching potential Jedi about the ways of the Force. Luke proposed to the New Republic that a new Jedi Council be established, but many members of the Senate feared that the Jedi would become too powerful. Shortly afterward, Luke and Mara were forced to bring the Jedi into battle when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Despite their ties to the Force, the Jedi were unable to defeat the alien invaders. Several Jedi, led by Kyp Durron, struck out on their own to fight the battle their own way, much to Luke's dismay and to the consternation of the Senate. However, even in battle, Luke was surprised to find that Mara was pregnant with a son. His devotion to Mara, and his deep connection to the Force, allowed Luke to drive out the Yuuzhan Vong disease and help Mara give birth aboard the Errant Venture, shortly after Borsk Fey'lya ordered Luke's arrest. They named their son Ben, in remembrance of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Luke and Mara spent less time with Ben than they had hoped to, when they were pressed into action defending the Eclipse base from invasion and, later, defending Coruscant. With the fall of Coruscant, Ben was separated from them, but was kept safe by Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han.

After talking with Jacen Solo, who had recently returned from captivity at the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong, Luke decided that the best chance for ending the conflict was to locate the rogue planet, Zonama Sekot. Along with his wife, Jacen, Danni Quee, Saba Sebatyne, and Doctor Soron Hegerty, Luke traveled to Csilla to enlist the help of the Chiss. Along the way, he earned the respect and assistance of Arien Yage the Imperial warship Widowmaker, providing an escort for his mission. Eventually, Zonama Sekot was found, but the living sentience of the planet refused to help without first ascertaining Luke's true motives. When it was satisfied that Luke and the Jedi Knights wanted to find a peaceful resolution to the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, Sekot agreed to come out of hiding and provide assistance. Han, Leia, and Jaina Solo had been dispatched to meet them when Zonama Sekot suddenly emerged from hyperspace near Coruscant, and the extended family was briefly reunited before returning to the war.

Jacen and his sister accompanied Luke to the surface of Coruscant, in an effort to gain access to the Citadel and bring Supreme Overlord Shimrra to justice. Jacen was able to reach the mind of the World Brain which was controlling the planet, and was able to calm it down and put a stop to the destruction it was causing on the surface. Upon entering Shimrra's throneroom, they were beset by a group of fifteen Slayers, and only Jacen's link to the World Brain allowed them any measure of success. When Jaina set out to capture Onimi, Luke found himself facing Shimrra himself, as the surviving Slayers focused their attention on Jacen.

Unable to gain an advantage over the immense Yuuzhan Vong, Luke was quickly captured by the huge amphistaff that served as the Scepter of Power. Caught in its grasp, Luke as only able to free one hand, which he used to keep the Scepter's head from biting him. However, Shimrra commanded the weapon to constrict, driving the breath out of Luke's lungs. As Shimrra produced Anakin Solo's lightsaber from behend his robes and threatened to kill Luke with it, Luke let go of the amphistaff to grab Shimrra's arm. As the creature drove itself into his side, Luke cried out in pain. However, this action momentarily distracted Shimrra's concentration. Luke regained control of his lightsaber, and used the Force to acquire Anakin's former weapon. Luke then drove both weapons into Shimrra's neck, severing his huge head from his body. He and Jacen then set out after Jaina, who had gone in search of Onimi. However, the poison from the Scepter of Power began to act on his body, and Luke was unable to continue on his own. He was brought out of the Citadel by Mara and Kenth Hamner, only to learn from a Shamed Shaper that the poison of the Scepter had no known antidote. Luke retreated into the Force, using the technique discovered by Jacen to reach a deeper state of rapport with the Force. Although much of the poison was neutralized in this way, Luke realized that some part of it had simply been added to his own person.

In the years that followed, Luke was able to begin the rebuilding process of the new Jedi order, establishing a base on Ossus, despite the generous donation of a huge facility on Coruscant by the Galactic Alliance. He split his time between the two locations, trying to handle the duties of a Jedi Master and a member of the Galactic Alliance's Advisory Council.

When the Colony began its expansion in the Unknown Regions, Luke was forced with two enemies that were more than a match for his strength in the Force. Raynar Thul and Lomi Plo had survived the crash of the Tachyon Flier, and had become the conscious and inconscious wills of the Killiks that made up the Colony. This allowed both Raynar and Lomi Plo to draw on the life energies of entire hives of Killiks, giving them seemingly unlimited strength. Added to Luke's dilemma was the insinuation, made by Lomi Plo, that Mara had somehow been involved in the death of Luke's mother, Padme' Amidala. It was Jacen Solo who forced Luke to realize that he needed to understand the truth behind Padme's death before he could confront Raynar and Lomi Plo. Lady Aryn Dro Thul provided Luke with the R2-0 prototype, which helped Ghent unlock several recordings that had been stored in the memory banks of R2-D2 for decades. After learning of Padme's true fate, and that Mara had nothing to do with her death, Jacen correctly surmised that Luke could now abandon his fears and use the full power of the Force to defeat the Colony. In a series of battles near Tenupe, Luke managed to cut Lomi Plo apart before confronting Raynar Thul. He was able to convince the younger man that his continued connection to the Colony would only lead to more conflict, which would ultimately destroy the entire galaxy. When Raynar Thul surrendered, Luke realized that he had to return to Ossus and dedicate more time to the Jedi order. He resigned his position - and removed all positions formerly held by Jedi - from the Advisory Council, and set out to re-establish the Jedi Order.

In the years that followed, Luke worked diligently to ensure that the Jedi were able to meet the needs of the growing Galactic Alliance. When Thrackan Sal-Solo again threatened to secede the Corellian System from the GA, some ten years after the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, Luke found himself questioning the allegiance of the Jedi and the GA. The combat that erupted between the Corellian insurgence and the Galactic Alliance forced the members of the Jedi order to destroy Corellian fighters in order to maintain the stability of the government. These actions, coupled with Jacen Solo's obvious turn toward the Dark Side of the Force, gave Luke and Mara cause for great concern, especially where their son was concerned. They feared that any fall Jacen might experience would drag Ben down with it.

Luke's fears were further heightened when he realized that Lumiya, the Dark Lady of the Sith, might be the Sith Master who was leading Jacen toward the Dark Side. Several attempts were made to reach Ben, each time seeming to force the young man away from his father. Thus, the Skywalkers were surprised and happy to learn that Jacen would agree to meet them on Roqoo Depot, at the boundaries of the Hapes Cluster. They were unaware that the meet was actually part of a trap that had been laid out by Lumiya and her other apprentice, Alema Rar. On the station, Luke and Mara confronted the two Dark Jedi, with Mara facing off against Alema Rar while Lumiya confronted Luke.

Unknown to Luke, Lumiya fully expected to die in the battle, having strapped a number of explosive devices to her body. Although Luke suffered numerous injuries, including the loss of his prosthetic hand, he managed to grab a blaster and fire several shots into Lumiya's chest. He and Mara then fled the station at top speed, barely escaping the explosion that ripped through the station.

In the wake of the explosion, Luke and Mara returned to Coruscant, and made every effort to bring Ben back into their home. They were concerned when he disappeared on a mission to Ziost, and were forced to confront the fact that their son ahd grown into a young man when he returned. They were left with lingering doubts about Jacen's veracity, however, which were only compounded when it was learned that Lumiya had access to the computer systems of the Galactic Alliance Guard. When she obtained a pair of Ben's boots and placed them at the door to their apartment, Luke decided that the time had come for him to finally out an end to her influence in the galaxy. Mara refused to let him go, though, explaining that he was too emotionally-attached to her to actually kill her. Instead, Mara agreed to hunt down Lumiya, taking along Jaina Solo as back-up.

Luke decided to take matters into his own hands when Jacen Solo had Chief of State Cal Omas arrested, providing the means for Jacen and Cha Niathal to assume control of the Galactic Alliance. However, before he could act, he found that Mara had set off on a secret mission of her own. Luke managed to track her to Hapes, but lost her trail until a wave of Force energy hit him. The energy marked Mara's death on Kavan, although Luke was unaware that it had been Jacen Solo who killed her. On Hapes, Luke met up with Jaina Solo, who had been working with Mara, and they agreed that they had to hunt down Lumiya and avenge Mara's death. However, Luke demanded that he set out alone, since he believed it was his duty to locate his wife's killer.

He tracked Lumiya to Terephon, where he forced to land and confront him. Lumiya openly claimed to have killed Mara, drawing on the Force to ensure that she appeared as truthful as she could be. After a brief struggle, Luke pushed her to the edge of a mesa, but he refused to let her fall. Instead, he kept her from falling long enough to draw his lightsaber and behead her. However, upon meeting up with his son Ben, who had recovered Mara's body from Kavan, Luke realized that he had killed the wrong person. Ben explained that he had been holding Lumiya captive at the time of Mara's death, forcing them both to confront the fact that Mara's murderer was still at large.

Luke also had to confront the fact that he had killed an innocent woman when he took her life, plunging him into a deep despair that kept him from fully carrying out his role as Grand Master of the Jedi. He moved about in a cloud of dark emotions for weeks, until Mara's funeral was held at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. There, he heard the strong words of Saba Sebatne's eulogy, then witnessed Mara's body disappearing into the Force when Jacen Solo suddenly arrived at the funeral. Luke took this as a sign from his wife that he needed to patch up his relationship with Jacen, although his son Ben took this as a sign that Mara was accusing Jacen of killing her.

In the wake of the funeral, at which Luke learned that a group of Galactic Alliance Guard soldiers tried to arrest his sister and her husband, Luke began to actively question Jacen's motives. He met with his nephew several times, including a Force-aided visit aboard the Anakin Solo, before coming to terms with Jacen's fall from grace. When Jacen sacrificed the planet Balmorra to defend Kuat, Luke had finally had enough. Rather than allow the Jedi Knights to participate at the Battle of Kuat, Luke had his forces simply leave the battlezone and regroup at Kashyyyk, effectively defecting the Jedi Order from the Galactic Alliance.

When Jacen Solo arrived at Kashyyyk and began attacking the planet, in an effort to force the Wookiees to turn over the Jedi and his parents, Luke and the Jedi joined Wookiee pilots in defending the planet. Luke, however, had a secondary reason for participating in the battle. He flew his StealthX fighter right up to the hull of the Anakin Solo and allowed it to take a devastating blast from the laser fire that was criss-crossing space. He poured anguish into the Force, giving the other Jedi the impression that he had been killed. However, he ejected just prior to the blast and infiltrated the Anakin Solo's defenses, then moved through the ship to confront Jacen.

Inside a secret chamber, Luke found his son, Ben, locked in the Embrace of Pain. He drove Jacen to the ground and freed Ben, but was dismayed when Ben demanded to be the being who killed Jacen. Luke refused, which gave Jacen a moment to recover. Ben stopped him by driving a vibroblade into his back, giving himself and Luke a chance to escape. They traveled to the Forest Moon of Endor, where the Jedi Council established a hidden base from which to operate. Still in anguish over the loss of his wife, Luke sank even deeper into depression when he realized that sparing Jacen might cause many more deaths as the civil war escalated. He ordered a mission to infiltrate Jacen's offices on Coruscant, to either capture or kill him, or plant a sensor near Jacen that could be used to track him.

With this sensor in place, the Jedi were able to follow Jacen's movements, and hoped to use his rendezvous with Corellian delegates as a chance to actually capture him. While Jacen once again escaped, Luke knew that the Jedi could get close to Jacen, if needed. Meanwhile, he was disheartened to hear that Jacen had captured Allana, the daughter of the Hapan Queen Mother, Tenel Ka. Luke agreed to have the Jedi track down Allana's location and recover her, since it seemed to be a part of the Jedi mission to bring Jacen to justice. When word came that Jaina Solo, Jagged Fel, and Zekk had finally killed Alema Rar on her asteroid base in the MZX32905 System, Luke believed that Mara's murderer had been brought to justice, but the knowledge seemed to bring him no peace. Only a discussion with his son, Ben, seemed to shake him out of his grief. Ben, who still believed that Mara's killer was actually Jacen Solo, questioned whether or not Luke wanted to live. When Luke questioned him, Ben explained that it appeared as if Luke wanted to die, so that he could finally be in Mara's presence once again. Luke initially scoffed at the idea, but realized that Ben was closer to the truth than he had first thought. Luke finally understood that his grief was preventing him from honoring his commitments to the living, and silently apologized to Mara's spirit as he shook off his grief. He knew that he would one day meet Mara again, this time in the Force, but set out to do what he could to restore sanity and peace to the galaxy before that day came. He then gave Ben the task of building his own lightsaber, to help his son complete his training as a Jedi Knight.

With his new resolve, Luke set in motion two assaults. The first, led by Jagged Fel and Kyle Katarn, was dispatched to rescue Allana. The second, led by Luke and Han and Leia Solo, was charged with disabling or destroying Centerpoint Station, thereby eliminating it as a weapon that could be used against the galaxy. He chose Ben for this second mission, knowing that his son had knowledge of the station's interiors. The conflict ended with the destruction of Centerpoint Station, but Jacen remained at large and in control of the Galactic Alliance. Luke then began to take measures into his own hands, and eventually reached out to Admiral Cha Niathal, who agreed to supply him with information on Jacen's activities. In this way, Luke was able to alert the Fondorian government to Jacen's plans to capture the planet and its shipyards. Luke and the other Jedi Masters agreed to help the Fondorians, using their abilities with the Force to hide the Fondorian navy on its orbital shipyards. This gave the Fondorians an element of surprise when they finally decided to fight back against Jacen's fleet.

Luke himself used the Force to hide his presence, harassing Jacen at every opportunity. In the wake of the Second Battle of Fondor, Luke convinced the Fondorian President, Shas Vadde, to allow Admiral Niathal to establish a government-in-exile on Fondor, while Niathal and the forces that were still loyal to her regrouped and made plans to unseat Jacen. The Jedi returned to the Forest Moon of Endor, and made ready to move their base of operations into the Transitory Mists. Before they left Endor, Luke and the others were brought to a meeting by Luke's son, Ben, who had been investigating the death of Mara Jade Skywalker with Lon Shevu. Ben showed them a wealth of forensic evidence that pointed to Jacen being Mara's killer, then provided a recording that Shevu had obtained during a meeting with Jacen, in which Jacen explained that he was now a Sith Lord known as Darth Caedus. During the meeting, Jacen essentially confessed to killing Mara, claiming that he had done so in self-defense. Luke was both proud of his son and relieved to know that Mara's killer was finally brought to light.

Luke then oversaw the Jedi Order's move to an undisclosed world in the Transitory Mists, where he hoped that the Jedi could regroup and find a way to bring Jacen Solo to justice. On one of the first nights at the new base, Luke was visited by a ghost of his wife, which helped to close off one of the worst chapters of his life. Later, at the new Jedi base on Shedu Maad, Luke surprised the other Jedi Masters by agreeing with Jaina Solo's idea of killing Jacen Solo. Adding to the surprise of the gathered Masters was Luke's statement that he had been waiting for someone to suggest the plan all along, although he agreed with Han and Leia Solo that they needed to eliminate Darth Caedus, carefully treading around the truth of Jacen's new identity. However, Luke was careful to point out that he would be uncapable of killing Darth Caedus, because he had too much emotional involvement with the situation to remain detached from the Dark Side of the Force. He had already killed Lumiya out of vengeance, and further killing would only have drawn him closer to his own destruction.

He fully supported Jaina's plans, especially after hearing that her parents would accompany her on the mission. Luke then surprised the gather Jedi Masters even more by volunteering his own son, Ben, to accompany Jaina, stating that Ben's connections to the Galactic Alliance Guard might prove valuable. However, he failed to explain to them that he had foreseen that Ben would be captured on a mission to Coruscant, an event that came to pass shortly afterward. When Jaina and her parents returned to Shedu Maad with word of Ben's capture, Luke revealed that he had known it would happen, and needed their reactions to be genuine. To calm their frustration, Luke also revealed that he had been silently altering Darth Caedus' visions of the future, and that he had hoped that Caedus would believe that it had be himself, and not Jaina, that was on Coruscant.

While on Coruscant, Ben had learned that Darth Caedus was on the Nickel One asteroid, and Luke set in motion a plan to have Jaina confront her brother there. He used his connection to the Force to mask Jaina's appearance, making it appear to Caedus as if he were actually fighting Luke himself. When Jaina was badly wounded and needed extraction from the asteroid, Luke then dropped this illusion and used the Force to make Caedus believe that he was facing two opponents. This allowed Jaina to escape, and gave Caedus another reason to fear Luke's presence. Although Caedus managed to use a blood trail to track Jaina to Shedu Maad, Luke had foresee the coming battle. After accepting the assistance of the Hapan Home Fleet and the Wookiees, the Jedi laid a trap for Caedus's forces in The Throat. Luke himself then led the starfighter assault on the Anakin Solo, hoping to draw away the attention of Caedus and his forces while Jaina infiltrated the Star Destroyer to confront her brother again. Luke's plans hinged on the belief that Caedus would be too busy trying to kill him that he would miss the presence of his sister. His secondary mission was the rescue of Prince Isolder from the Anakin Solo, but his squadmates were decimated by fire from the Megador and he was forced to retreat. Reaching out Jaina in the Force, he urged her to do what she could to rescue Isolder and bring her brother to justice.

Luke then set to work with Han and Leia Solo to put together an extraction team to rescue Jaina from the Anakin Solo. They took the Millennium Falcon and managed to infiltrate the Star Destroyer's hangar bay, where they quickly neutralized any opposition. It was Jagged Fel who found Jaina holding her brother's dead body, while Luke and Han set out to find the surviving Imperial Moffs. It was Luke who offered the Moffs a simple choice: surrender to the Hapans and submit to a war crimes trial for their use of a nanokiller against the Dragon Queen, or agree to help rebuild the Galactic Alliance. The Moffs agreed to assist in rebuilding the galaxy, and in the wake of the fighting Luke set about restoring the Jedi Order. A relative peace settled over the galaxy for the next three years or so, and Luke spent this time reconnecting with his son, Ben. This calm period was shattered when Luke found himself being served a warrant for his arrest by Captain Savar of the Galactic Alliance Security force. The new Chief of State, Natasi Daala, had ordered the arrest, with charges that claimed Luke had failed to recognize Jacen Solo's fall from grace. The warrant claimed that, by not stopping Jacen, Luke allowed the conflict of the Second Galactic Civil War to escalate, and that he was therefore responsible for the multitude of deaths that occurred during the fighting. His attorney, Nawara Ven, believed that the arrest was timed to coincide with the Unification Summit, so that Chief of State Daala could show that she was willing to do anything in order to reunite the galaxy.

In a private meeting with Chief of State Daala, Luke realized that Daala's role in this legal action stemmed from a general belief that the Jedi Order had become too arrogant to be allowed to operate without government control. In order to give the Jedi Order a chance to redeem itself, Luke agreed to step down from his position as Grand Master of the Jedi Order for a period of ten years, and to fully separate himself from the workings of the Order. His sentence would be reduced if proper evidence was discovered that could prove that Luke had no idea what was happening to Jacen. Before he could leave, however, Luke was forced to apprehend Valin Horn, who had started experiencing strange symptoms that were similar to things that Jacen Solo had once experienced. Valin Horn tried to disrupt the opening of the Unification Summit, and the media began to portray the Jedi Order as a reckless group of superbeings, each of which was a potential Jacen Solo waiting to happen. Luke was portrayed as an autocrat who had lost all control of the Jedi, and had cultivated the sense of entitlement that many Jedi seemed to have. Trusting that his friends and his legal team would find something to help his case, Luke set out on his own to track down the groups that Jacen had visited after the Yuuzhan Vong War. With Ben at his side, Luke left Coruscant behind and set out for the planet Dorin, where he hoped to speak to the Baran Do Sages.

Tila Mong agreed to meet with Luke and teach him the ayna-seff technique, and Luke found himself quietly competing to master the technique faster than Jacen Solo had done. Luke learned the technique in just two days, before he and Ben were invited to the farewell ceremony of Charsae Saal. Luke sensed that Saal did not actually die during the ceremony, so he and Ben tracked him to the Caverns of the Hidden One, deep below the surface of Dorin. In following with Baran Do tradition, however, Luke and Ben were required to remain in the caverns for the rest of their lives, in order to protect the knowledge and information that had been collected there. As they explored the caverns, Luke and Ben found that the Kel Dors were forced to adhere to the philosophy "As in life, so in death". This meant that the assembled Kel Dors could not became anything more than they were on the surface of Dorin, and many became mere shadows of their former selves. To make his point, Luke challenged Charsae Saal to fight Ben in sngle combat, and Ben was able to defeat the aging combat expert. Koro Ziil refused to accede that Luke was correct, and attacked with a furious combination of Force lightning and Force-generated wind. Luke withstood the onslaught, and forced Koro Ziil to see the error of his ways. The Hidden One still refused to back down, and tried to kill the Skywalker by cutting off their oxygen supply. Ben responded by setting of the self-destruct mechanism in the caverns, forcing Koro Ziil reveal the hidden escape route that led to the surface. Ziil, however, chose to let everyone die, prompting a Sage named Burra to reveal the escape route.

After leaving Dorin, Luke and Ben traveled to the Kathol Rift, where they were allowed to meet with the Aing-Tii. Their guide, Tadar'Ro, was patient with the two humans, and taught them a great deal about the Aing-Tii and their view of the Force. Luke agreed to help the Aing-Tii understand the nature of the Relics that were stored in the Embrace, in exchange for knowledge of Jacen's time among the Aing-Tii, but he refused to allow Ben to take part in any of the training the Aing-Tii offered. Ben later confronted his father about this, and Luke admitted that he feared Ben would use the strange Force techniques in a daring attempt to travel back in time and try to make things right. Luke realized that he had underestimated his son, and that Ben was simply a boy who had been forced to become a man far too soon. The two Skywalkers spent the next several days within the Embrace, learning what they could about the strange artifacts that were stored there. Luke experienced an increase in his connection to the Force when he picked up the Codex, and this brief augmentation of his powers gave Luke the knowledge that there was something and dark and evil growing more powerful near the Maw cluster of black holes. Unfortunately, neither Luke nor Ben was able to learn anything from the Relics about Those Who Dwell Beyond the Veil, and they were forced to report on their failure to Tadar'Ro and the Aing-Tii elders. Far from being angry, the Aing-Tii welcomed Luke's pronouncement that the Aing-Tii would have to determine their own destiny, and the aliens began to put aside their differences and work together to find their true place in the galaxy.

Luke and Ben then left the Aing-Tii and traveled to the Maw cluster of black holes, where they discovered Sinkhole Station and the beings known as Mind Walkers. There, they found several former Jedi Knights from different times in recent history, along with other Force-sensitive beings who had found that their beliefs about the Force had been altered by the destruction of Centerpoint Station. Seek Ryontarr and Feryl agreed to show Luke how to mind walk, and he encountered a variety of places surrounding a dark side nexus known as the Font of Power. Ben remained behind while Luke was mind walking, and was dismayed when the physical bodies of Feryl and Ryontarr expired. Their Force presences remained, however, and continued to guide Luke through the locations that were manifested because of the Force presence of Abeloth. Ben used the mind walking technique to locate his father at the Lake of Apparitions, where they both encountered a vision of Anakin Solo. Anakin's specter explained that his death should not have been seen as a tragedy, because every individual Jedi Knight and Master needed to work to make the Jedi Order better, and not wait for some great Jedi to come along and save them. Anakin's specter moved back into the Lake, and Luke was surprised when an apparition of his wife appeared. Mara explained to Luke and Ben that it was more important to live a good life than to leave behind a good legacy, a message she directed to Ben especially. Mara also begged Luke to stay away from the Force presence of Abeloth, but Luke found that he could not do this, believing that he needed to understand why Abeloth was the center of the nexus that was found in the Maw.

Luke and Ben pushed on toward the Mists of Forgetfulness, but the Mists never seemed to get any closer, no matter how far they walked. It was then that they encountered the apparition of Jacen Solo, who agreed to tell Luke about the things he had seen while mind walking, in exchange for knowledge of Luke's visions. Luke agreed, and Jacen seemed glad to know that whatever he had seen in his own vision had not come to pass. After Jacen implored Ben to be decisive in life, to choose and act rather than think, Luke realized that he needed to abandon his search for the Force presence in the Maw and return to the physical world. They made their way back to the Jade Shadow, but were interrupted by the sudden appearance of a group of warriors who appeared to be Sith. These warriors fought to the death, and Luke and Ben were forced to fight their way to the hangar area aboard Sinkhole Station. Two of the warriors, a young woman and and older one, fought harder than the others, and the younger one managed to cut Luke's face before he could punch her in the face. The older woman pressed her own attack, until she was distracted by a flash of light, which allowed Luke to decapitate her with his lightsaber. The younger woman chose this moment to make her escape, but Ben's discovery of the presence of the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship gave the Skywalkers enough information to realize their attackers had been Sith. However, Luke was badly injured during his fights with the two woman, and Ben had to work fast in order to save his father's life.

Skywalker, Luuke
This was the name of the clone created by Joruus C'baoth from sample B-2332-54, which contained cells from the the hand Luke Skywalker lost during his duel with Darth Vader on Cloud City. Because of the sample's source, Luuke also used the lightsaber Luke had on Cloud City, the lightsaber that once belonged to his father, Anakin. The clone, as were all of the clones that were grown too quickly in their Force-resistant vats, was mentally unstable. Luuke was defeated by Mara Jade, who fulfilled the prophecy laid on her by Emperor Palpatine, although not in the way he believed it would be. (TLC)

Skywalker, Mara Jade
A strikingly beautiful woman known for her flame-red hair and piercing green eyes, Mara Jade was hand-picked by Emperor Palpatine to become one of the Emperor's Hands. Little was known about her childhood and young adulthood, even by Mara herself. She remembered being taken from her parents by Palpatine, an event that her parents seemed to resent. Palpatine began to train her in the use of the Force, an education that allowed him to imprint himself on her mind, creating a Force bond between them that allowed him to communicate with Mara across vast distances.

After her training was complete and she had matured into a strong-willed young woman, Mara was assigned a number of surveillance missions, often posing as one of the Emperor's dalliances in order to escape notice. As a member of Palpatine's closest followers, she gained a good deal of experience in the use of The Force. Her latent Force-sensitivity was heightened by the Emperor, enhancing her ability to contact him across vast distances via Force energy. Her physical skills were honed in regular training sessions, until Mara was able to take on the largest of opponents with minimal weaponry. Her good looks often gave her an edge with masculine targets, who could not believe that such a beautiful woman was an Imperial agent.

This combination of assets gave Mara an advantage that other Emperor's Hands lacked, but she put them to good use in the Emperor's service. As a reward for her dedication, Emperor Palpatine gave her a special bit of crystal from which to grow a focusing crystal for her lightsaber. The resulting blade was magenta in color, similar in many respects to the lightsaber once used by Mace Windu. Palpatine never revealed where he had obtained the original crystal, and Mara never asked.

Despite her considerable skills, Mara's control over the Force disappeared almost completely when the Emperor was killed at the Battle of Endor. One of the last missions the Emperor assigned her to was the killing of Luke Skywalker. The Emperor claimed to have foreseen her involvement in Luke's death, and sent her to Tatooine following Darth Vader's failure to capture Luke at Cloud City. She infiltrated Jabba's palace as a dancing girl named Arica, but was not allowed onto Jabba's sailbarge when it left to sacrifice Luke and Han Solo to the Sarlacc. This unfortunate setback allowed her to continue in her efforts to kill Luke, but the death of the Emperor at Endor robbed her of her Force abilities and her main source of impetus.

She went underground after Palpatine's death, since - as a secret agent for the Emperor - none of the surviving Imperials would ever believe she was more than a dancing girl. She performed a number of odd jons across the galaxy before she joined up with Talon Kaarde. She was working on Tropis at the time, and was employed by two safari hunters who turned out to be Talon Kaarde and Tapper Quelev. When Kaarde and Quelev got into trouble, Mara intervened and helped Kaarde escape. They then made proper introductions, and Mara asked for a job.

She joined up just before he became involved with the New Republic, and was once again thrown into Luke's path. The Emperor's command to kill Luke resurfaced, but the events surrounding Grand Admiral Thrawn's plans for Luke and the New Republic kept getting in her way. She found herself helping Luke more often than not. When she and Luke were reunited in C'baoth's stronghold on Wayland, she fulfilled her "destiny" to kill Luke Skywalker, but not in the way she or the Emperor had forseen.

When C'baoth sent a clone of Luke to battle the original Luke, Mara destroyed the clone, allowing them to survive C'baoth's fury and escape Wayland. Following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn Mara worked with the New Republic as a liaison between the Republic and the newly-formed Smugglers' Alliance. Following the death of the reborn Emperor on Byss, Mara continued to assist the Republic, but was increasingly pursued by Lando Calrissian, both on a business level and a personal level. She kept Lando at arm's-length from a personal standpoint, but joined in with him to restart the Spice Mines of Kessel as a legal source of glitterstim spice. They were also employed by Talon Karrde to search out the location of Jorj Car'das, a job which took them nearly six years to complete on the side.

During the Caamas Incident, Mara took a group of Karrde's people to Nirauan, to search out the strange ships that attacked them in the Kauron asteroid field. She was stranded on the planet, and was eventually rescue by Luke. They realized that their relationship was now stronger than ever, especially after Mara bluntly showed Luke that his use of the Force needed to be minimized before he could fully understand it. Luke, in response, helped Mara realize her potential with the Force, unlocking it in time to use it to escape from the Chiss who controlled the Hand of Thrawn.

During their escape, Luke asked Mara to marry him, a question to which she immediately agreed. After the resolution of the Caamas Incident, they were wed: once, in a solemn Jedi ceremony performed by Kam Solusar, and again in a public ceremony on Coruscant. Both agreed that they should travel the galaxy as Jedi instructors, leaving the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 to grow beyond Luke's vision.

A few years later, Mara suddenly became ill. Through the sheer will of the Force, she remained active, but was unaware that her illness was actually engineered by Nom Anor, in an attempt to see just how powerful the Jedi Knights were. She resisted the disease he had created long after other victims were dead and buried. After the creature named Vergere escaped from the Millennium Falcon and her servitude to the Yuuzhan Vong priestess Elan, Han Solo returned to Coruscant with a sample of Vergere's tears. The creature claimed they could help heal Mara's disease, and Mara was more than willing to try. The initial stages of her recovery were somewhat painful, but whatever Vergere gave them drove off the disease. She hesitated to call herself cured, and retained a small portion of the tears for later use.

Soon after the Battle of Fondor, Mara discovered two momentous things: first, that it was Nom Anor who had poisoned her on the planet Monor II; and second, that she was pregnant with Luke's son. She refused to stop fighting against the Yuuzhan Vong, but also realized that she could not longer be at the forefront of the fight. When the Senate ordered Luke's arrest, the couple set out for the Errant Venture, where Mara struggled with her pregnancy. It had been complicated by toxic shock syndrome, brought on by the use of Vergere's tears. With Luke's devotion to her and his connection with the Force, he drove out the Yuuzhan Vong disease and helped Mara give birth to a son, Ben.

Luke and Mara spent less time with Ben than they had hoped to, when they were pressed into action defending the Eclipse base from invasion and, later, defending Coruscant. With the fall of Coruscant, Ben was separated from them, but was kept safe by Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han. Mara and Luke then set out on a most dangerous mission: to locate the rogue planet Zonama Sekot. They were escorted by Arien Yage and the Widowmaker after lending assistance at the Battle of Bastion, and eventually located the mobile planet in the Klasse Ephemora System. Although the planet initially refused to help them, the actions of Luke and the Jedi Knights later convinced Sekot that they were searching for a peaceful resolution to the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The planet then agreed to follow them back into the galaxy and assist them in any way possible.

However, the treacherous actions of Nom Anor nearly destroyed the planet, which was forced to make a blind jump into hyperspace in order to avoid any disaster. Mara and the Jedi were forced to work with the Ferroans to survive the jumps, which caused tremendous damage to the planet's surface. However, Sekot finally decided to make jumps toward the known galaxy, and after speaking with the Jedi, it decided to jump into realspace near Coruscant. There, Mara and Luke were reunited with Han and Leia Solo, along with their daughter Jaina and several other members of the Jedi Order. Luke's input helped shape the Galactic Alliance's final assault on Coruscant, and Mara accompanied her husband to the planet's surface.

There, the Jedi set out to locate Supreme Overlord Shimrra and put an end to the war. When Mara encountered Nom Anor in the streets, leading a revolution of Shamed Ones, she set out to bring him to justice. He begged for mercy, claiming that he knew of the poisoned coralskipper Shimrra was planning to send to Zonama Sekot. She spared his life, demanding that he lead them to Shimrra. Ultimately, Luke, Jaina, and Jacen were able to reach the Citadel ahead of them, and Mara arrived to find that Luke had been badly injured by the Scepter of Power. She and Kenth Hamner managed to drag Luke free of the Citadel before Onimi was able to launch its escape pod, and Luke went into a deep Force trance to try and heal himself.

In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Mara and Luke both worried about their son Ben's decision to cut himself off from the Force, and both were glad when Jacen Solo agreed to work with Ben and draw him out. When the Colony began its rise to power and began threatening the Chiss, Mara was again forced to separate herself from Ben, as the Jedi were drawn into the conflict when it was discovered that Raynar Thul had become the leader of the Colony. At the height of the Swarm War, Mara was badly injured on a failed mission to capture Lomi Plo, the so-called Dark Queen of the Gorog hive. She took a shatter gun pellet in the gut, which ruptured one of her kidneys. After a brief period of rehabilitation, Mara was back in action.

In the wake of the Swarm War, both Mara and Luke tried to concentrate on their son's continuing education, working with Jacen to help Ben grow in the Force. However, Ben began to grow distant, at the same time that Jacen seemed to be falling toward the Dark Side of the Force. Their concerns only increased when Jacen was selected to lead the Galactic Alliance Guard, and Ben was exposed to the terrorism and treachery of Corellian insurgents on Coruscant. Luke and Mara both felt that anhy interference with Ben's education would only bring more grief, but they could not simply sit back and let Jacen drag him over to the Dark Side.

It was during this time that Luke realized the Dark Jedi Lumiya had returned, and was probably working with Jacen on some level. As tensions escalated between the Galactic Alliance and the Corellians, Jacen rushed to Hapes to protect Tenel Ka and her daughter, Allana. He brought Ben with him, prompting Luke to demand Jacen to bring Ben to Roqoo Depot, where he could be kept away from the majority of the fighting. Jacen and Lumiya turned this request into a trap, as Lumiya and Alema Rar were waiting for the Skywalkers when they arrived. While Luke and Lumiya squared off against each other, Mara was forced to deal with Alema Rar, who was believed to have died on Tenupe five years earlier.

The struggle was intense, as Mara battled against Alema Rar's Dark Side strength, but she was ultimately able to force the Twi'lek to the ground. It was then that Mara realized the Twi'lek was wired with explosives, and that Lumiya probably was as well. Leaving Alema Rar, Mara rushed to Luke's aid. However, he had already shot Lumiya three times in the chest, and her life signs were fading. Luke and Mara fled Roqoo Depot just ahead of a massive explosion, believed to have been caused by Lumiya's death.

As both Mara and Luke struggled to understand what was happening with their son and Jace, Mara began to wonder how things might have been different if she had killed her former Master, Palpatine. She then decided that she had it within her power to destroy Lumiya and stop Jacen's fall to the Dark Side, and took it upon herself to hunt down the Dark Lady of the Sith, knowing that Luke was too emotionally-attached to Lumiya to actuall kill her. She also gave her son, Ben, a gift of a vibroblade, which she had tagged with a beacon that allowed her to keep track of his location.

As she set out with Jaina Solo to track down Lumiya, Mara was surprised to find that the tracking beacon in the vibroblade had ended up on Vulpter. However, she kept her focus on Lumiya, and found the Dark Lady on Coruscant. After a brief struggle, Mara believed that she would finally defeat Lumiya, but was attacked from behind. Unknown to Mara, she had been attacked by the Sith Meditation Sphere that had been brought from Ziost by her own son, Ben. The surprise attack allowed Lumiya to escape once again. In the relative peace between battles, Mara learned from Ben of his role in the assassination of Dur Gejjen, and of Jacen's relationship with Lumiya. She realized that she had been avoiding the truth of the situation for months, and implored Ben to keep his knowledge of Jacen's connection to Lumiya a secret. Mara also resolved to kill Jacen for what he had done, despite a girls'-only weekend with Leia Organa Solo on Drall.

Shortly after this vacation, Mara tracked Jacen to Hapes, but was unable to outwit both Jacen and Lumiya. Lumiya damaged the cockpit of Mara's StealthX fighter, forcing her to land on Kavan. Jacen pursued her, and although she managed to shatter his right knee and bring a blaster to bear on his head, Jacen was not ready to die. He drew on the Force to deflect the blaster bolt, then flung the rubble from its blast at Mara. They grappled for several minutes before Jacen managed to extract a poisoned dart from his belt and jam it into her leg. The poison acted swiftly, and Mara quickly succumbed to it. As she died, she railed against Jacen, claiming that he was evil as Palpatine had once been.

Many beings, including Luke and Lumiya, believed that Mara would become one with the Force, and that her physical body would disappear like that of Obi-Wan Kenobi or Yoda. However, Mara's body remained on Kavan, where it was located by her son and recovered. This allowed Ben and Luke to begin the grieving process. Luke, for his own part, believed that he had avenged her death when he tracked Lumiya to Terephon and beheaded her. However, evidence recovered later showed that Lumiya couldn't have killed Mara, plunging Luke into a deep despair.

Ben had been reunited with Jacen on Kavan, and both delivered Mara's body to Luke, although he was confused as to why Jacen showed up so quickly after Mara's death. It didn't take long for Ben to believe Jacen was responsible for his mother's murder, especially after Mara's body disappeared into the Force when Jacen suddenly showed up at her funeral.

Skywalker, Nat
This man was the older brother of Kol Skywalker, and was also one of the many Jedi Knights who served the galaxy during the years leading up to the Sith-Imperial War. It was believed that Nat was one of the candidates to carry out a mission with Morrigan Corde, but Kol was eventually chosen by a group of Jedi seers to take on the mission. Nat later learned of his brother's secret marriage to Corde, and kept it a secret despite not understanding the rationale behind their union. When Cade Skywalker was born, Nat became his surrogate father on Ossus, while Kol spent much of his time working with the Jedi Council on Coruscant. Eventually, though, Nat chose to leave the Jedi Order, for reasons that only he could explain. After leaving the Order, Nat took on the identity of "Bantha" Rawk, a mechanic who worked at the Selonian shipyards for many years before "retiring" to Iego. (SWLL)

Skywalker Technical Maintenance Service
This fictional service was part of a ruse used by R2-D2 to hide from the Imperial stormtroopers in Mos Eisley, while Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi were searching for a pilot to take them to the Alderaan System, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. R2-D2 and C-3PO posed as maintenance droids from this false start-up company in order to gain access to a machine shop. They told the owner that they would fix his energy lathe for free, as part of a one-time, promotional offering, so that the stormtroopers bypassed them during their search. (E4R, TGD)

Skywalker Tour
This was the name of a tour developed by Myhr Rho, shortly after the Battle of Endor. The Cathar developed the idea of providing tourists with information about the life of Luke Skywalker before he became a hero during the Galactic Civil War. Myhr Rho did diligent research into Skywalker's local origins, and scraped up enough credits to buy a used sail barge. With financial assistance from the planetary government, he was able to refit the barge as a tour vessel, and established the Skywalker Tour. The tour began to draw more tourists to the desert planet, and claimed to highlight all the locations Luke Skywalker grew up before he became a hero of the Alliance and the first of the new Jedi Knights. Stops included the old Lars homestead, the Mos Eisley Cantina, and the site of the wreck of Jabba the Hutt's sail barge near the Pit of Carkoon. (SWTJ, SWDB)

The gang was briefly imprisoned at the Greylands Security Complex on Tentator, but managed to escape about two years before the Battle of Geonosis. Slam was known as something of a fop, preferring extravagant clothing and luxurious appointments wherever he traveled. Several years before the Battle of Geonosis, Obi-Wan Kenobi impersonated Slam in an effort to infiltrate the planet Romin and located Jenna Zan Arbor. Slam and his gang had gone underground, but suddenly turned up on Romin at the same time as Obi-Wan and the Jedi. Obi-Wan hoped that the confusion of the revolt launched by the Citizens' Resistance would help cover their tracks, but the real Slam confronted them after locating Roy Teda's safehouse. After Teda was ousted from Romin, Roper and the Slams agreed to assist him in his work with Granta Omega, and traveled to Coruscant to help disrupt the ceremony in honor of the passage of the All Planet Relief Fund legislation. Roper and Valadon were disguised as Blue Guards during the event, which allowed them to gain easy access to the vertex crystal that served as the financial basis for the Fund. They were apprehended by Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker, and held for questioning. It was revealed that the real plan had nothing to do with stealing vertex, but rather the kidnapping of Chancellor Palpatine himself. (JQ8, JQ9)

However, after trying to break into the secure vaults of the Commerce Guild, they were caught and sent to the Greylands Security Complex on Tentator. About two years before the Clone Wars broke out, the four-being gang managed to escape from Greylands. However, their starship remained impounded, and was later used by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Siri Tachi. The two Jedi Masters, along with their apprentices Anakin Skywalker and Ferus Olin, used the ship to impersonate the Slams, during a mission to capture Janna Zan Arbor on Romin. (JQ8, JQ9)

Slanni, Thillis
This tall Ishi Tib served as one of the primary planners of the Shining Hope organization, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. Slanni and his leaders opposed the plans of Yeeru Chivkyrie and the Republic Redux organiation, but he agreed to meet with Princess Leia Organa to discuss an agreement. On a starship, Slanni explained that he and the leaders of Shining Hope knew there were certain benefits to openly delcaring their support for the Alliance, but he feared that the Alliance would be unable to help Shelsha Sector defend itself from an Imperial reprisal. The rebel leaders agreed to meet again on Shelkonwa, where Chivkyrie revealed that he had made arrangements with Chief Administrator Vilim Disra to help Shelsha Sector secede from the Empire.

Unknown to the rebels was the fact that Disra had no plans to assist the Alliance, and only hoped to capture an Alliance leader and supplant Governor Barshnis Choard. The treachery was discovered by Princess Leia, but not before Disra had set his plans in motion. Chivkyrie, embarrassed by this turn of events, did what he could to get Director Slanni and Ydor Vokkoli off Shelkonwa before they could be captured by Imperial forces. (A)

Slanthead
This was a derogatory term used to describe a member of the Yuuzhan Vong race. (SWLG)

Slap Match
Developed by the Wookiees of Kashyyyk as a form of hand-to-hand combat training, a slap match involved two individual combatants who could only use their hands to hit their opponent. More than brute strength was needed in a slap match, as the goal of the match was to knock your opponent off his or her feet. Thus, knowledge of physics and an opponent's center of gravity was key in devising a pattern of attack that would topple an opponent. (AFA)

Slap-pad
This was another name for a slapswitch, and described any wall switch that was activated by simply slapping a palm across its surface. (LF6)

Slapswitch
This was a kind of switch that was activated by simply swiping the hand across its face. (AS)

Slar
Native to the planet Port Evokk, this predator inhabited the forests and used its muscular legs to pounce on its prey. Measuring a meter and a half tall and three meter in length, including its prehensile tail, a slar had long, taloned arms and a menacing facial structure. They were generally fearsome in appearance, and had an unusual blue-green skin coloration which mirrored that of other creatures native to Port Evokk. It was believed that many herbivores with the same coloration evolved over time because their predators thought they were slars, and so avoided them. Their feeding patterns were erratic, making them unpredictable hunters, and their ability to attack and kill most humanoid races made them targets for elimination. (COG)

Slard
This four-legged feline was native to the planet Enaleh, where it preyed on the flying helas. (COG)

Slarka
This was one of the more common surnames used by the Duros people. Like all such names, Slarka was used only for official business, to indicate one individual from another when in the presense of non-Duros. This name literally meant "baker". (GCG)

Slarm
This being was Stroon's first mate, and assistant in the Starhunter Intergalactic Menagerie. (DCAR)

Slarm
This was one of the most common Gungan surnames, taking from the father's side of the family. These surnames were not dropped, even after marriage. To the Gungans, it meant "cold waters". (GCG)

Slarm, Rep
This Gungan, one of the many who served on Boss Nass' Rep Council, was known as the best bubble wort engineer in Otoh Gunga. (SON)

Slash Squadron
One of the fighter groups protecting the Backstab, it was made up of pilots from the Khuiumin Survivors. (IJ)

Slash-E
This was a common nickname used by the personnel of the New Republic navy to describe the CC-7700/E interdiction cruiser. (LSSM)

Slasher
This was one of two Skipray Blastboats stolen by Bazak's Gang. Along with the Slicer, the Slasher saw action during boarding actions. The ship's armament was upgraded to include three medium ion cannons, a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons, a proton torpedo launcher, and a concussion missile launcher. (FBS)

Slasher
This CR90 corvette was captured by Imperial forces, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (TIEP)

Slashing the Deck
This was a starship combat maneuver in which smaller corvettes and corsairs engaged larger vessels in the opposing fleet. Because the corvettes and corsairs were more manevuerable, they could avoid the weaponry of the larger vessels and strafe them as they moved past. When the larger vessels turned to try and bring more weapons to bear on the smaller vessels, the smaller vessel then reversed course and attacked from the opposite direction, slashing across the path of the larger vessel to cause even more damage. This tactic was originally credited to the naval forces of the Brotherhood of Darkness, who used it to devastating effect during the opening conflict of the Battle of Ruusan. (DBPD)

Slashing Wampa
This was one of the attack postures found within the teras kasi martial artform. (DMSH)

Slashrat
This species of predator was native to the planet Bimmiel, and were sometimes referred to as sandbiters. These large, rodent-like creatures traveled through the sandy desert areas of the planet, swimming like fish through the grit by swinging their tails back and forth. Their thin, pointed heads were protected by armor plating, which allowed them to burrow without being injured. They attacked in packs, swarming their prey and tearing it to shreds. Like their favored prey, the shwpi, the slashrat population flourished while Bimmiel was in the closest part of its elliptical orbit and the planet grew warm. Much of its body, from its wedge-shaped head to its short limbs and tail were covered with chitinous scales and downy grey fur, and its tail was flattened to help propel it through the sand. The tail could also be used as a weapon, slashing it through the hide and flesh of its prey or an attacker. They exuded a basic set of pheromones known as different types of sweat, one which marked an area of attack - known as killscent - and one which marked the location of a dead slashrat - known as stink. (DTO, ANT, UA)

Slash-spider
This large, predatory insect was native to the planet Kashyyyk. It was known for its large mandibles, which were used like an organic pairs of scissors. The individual mandibles were offset slightly, allowing them to cross over one another and slice apart whatever was between them. (E3N)

Slashtown
This was one of the many prison colonies that were established by the Empire on the planet Despayre, during the early years of the New Order. Slashtown was located in grid 4354, sector 547, of planetary quadrant three. (DSTR)

Slashvine
This form of long, winding vine was found growing on the planet Coruscant, after the end of the galaxy's war with the Yuuzhan Vong. It was named for that fact that the vine didn't have thorns, as most other species did. Instead, the sinewy stem of the slashvine produced a razor-sharp blade in the place of leaves. Any being or creature unfortunate enough to fall into the tangle of a slashvine plant received severe lacerations. (LF3)

Slatavv, Grolodii
This Alliance technician proposed that an attempt should be made to capture a Plexus Droid Vessel in order to obtain the Analysis/Encoding Computer inside. (SWJ10)

Slatha essach sechel
This Illodian phrase translates to 'keep it to yourself.' (TT)

Slather
Created by the Gungans, this slimy chemical compound resembled grease, and was used by miners. The miners covered their bodies with Slather in order to slide through small openings in the rocks. It later found widespread use as a lubricant. (E1A12)

Slatka
This young girl and her brother, Sladak, were chosen by Torr Snapit to accompany him to Ruusan. The siblings displayed a connection to the Force, and Snapit hoped to use their strength to augment that of the Jedi Knights massing at Ruusan to combat the Brotherhood of Darkness. Unfortunately, their starship was shot down when it reached Ruusan, and Sladak and Slatka were killed in the attack. (JVS)

Slatstone
This stone was noted for the regular shape it formed in the ground. Its underlying crystalline matrix gave slatstone its rectangular form, which allowed it to be quarried and formed into tiles with minimal processing. (LF6)

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

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

Slava Dancing
An exotic form of dance. (TT)

Slave
Any being held against its will and forced to labor for its owner, the possession of slaves was generally outlawed by the Old Republic and its eventual successor, the New Republic. Emperor Palpatine's New Order didn't exactly condone it, but neither did it outlaw the practice. Any being could be made into a slave, and usually had a small transmitter inserted into its body. The exact location of the transmitter was hard to find, which meant that an individual slave had no idea how to remove it. If a slave tried to escape, its owner could send a signal to the transmitter. At a low setting, the transmitter would jolt its host into unconsciousness. At a high setting, the transmitter could destroy its host. (E1, E1N)

Slave Circuit
This was basically a remote control mechanism for a starship. It be as simple a landing assistance command or a fully-rigged maintenance and operation program. (DFR)

Slave I
Best-known as Boba Fett's personal ship, Slave I was a highly-modified Kuat Drive Yards Firespray-31 cargo ship. Unique in its design, very little of the original Firespray-31 that formed Slave I remained, as Boba Fett and his father, Jango, both made changes to support their lifestyles as bounty hunters. It was said that the only piece of original hardware left on the ship was the pilot's seat.

The craft was originally manufactured as one of six patrol ships, sweeping the space near Oovo IV to prevent prison breaks. Jango stole the ship from Oovo IV after the destruction of the Jaster's Legacy, destroying the other five patrol ships before fleeing the system. Jango then began refitting the ship for his own uses. Many of the modifications, performed at Kuat Drive Yards, were designed and supervised by Kuat of Kuat himself. This was partly because of Kuat's innate technical skill, but also so that the leader of KDY could keep an eye on what went into the ship's new form. Slave 1's outer hull was reinforced with plating and ray shielding, to compensate for reduced particle shielding. The hull was formed from a magnetically-polarized metal, making it the perfect electromagnetic receptor. This allowed the ship to collect magnetic energies from the surrouding space - including the signals and pulses of pursuing ships - and reflect them as so much static. This jammed the pursuer's sensors, making Slave I nearly invisible.

Boba Fett also dampened the ship's particle vapor trail to further eliminate proof of its passage. The ship appeared to bear only a pair of twin-mounted blaster cannons on the tip of the command/cargo section, although rumors spoke of hidden ion cannons, concussion missile launchers, and a powerful tractor beam. The ship's engines were modified for speed. The Kuat Systems Engineering F-31 sublight engines provided an intense burst of power when first activated. This reduced maneuverability but increased the likelihood of Fett's capturing his quarry before it could escape. The sublight engines were paired with four KSE X-F-16 power generators that provided quick bursts of speed, and gave the ship a top speed of 1,000 kilometers in atmosphere. The ship's Class 1 hyperdrive was also updated, allowing for quick jumps to outrace a victim to their destination.

The ship's interior was never seen by anyone but Fett, and it was rumored to have a cargo hold that was large enough to contain a force cage. Various hull reinforcements were also rumored to be present, to keep the cage from being jostled by larger races. There wasn't a great deal of cargo space, as much of the original hold was refitted to accommodate the ship's engines and power generators. Always one to plan for contingencies, Fett also had several duplicates of Slave I created for his use. These dummy ships looked and acted like the real thing, but were mere shells.

Just after the Battle of Hoth, Boba Fett used Slave I to track Han Solo to Bespin. From there, Fett took Solo's frozen body to Tatooine for delivery to Jabba The Hutt. When Fett was believed dead on Tatooine, the Alliance impounded the ship. It was stripped of weaponry and technology and sold at auction to Crystalboy, who was actually working for Fett. Following his emergence from the Sarlacc, Boba Fett recovered his ship from Crystalboy and traveled to Nar Shaddaa for repairs, but it was disabled at Nar Shaddaa during Palpatine's first resurrection. It sat at the spaceport receiving more repairs until Han Solo and Princess Leia returned to Nar Shaddaa searching for Vima-Da-Boda. Boba Fett was able to reactivate Slave 1 and its new Incom shields, only to receive a good deal of damage to one of its wings in a collision with the Millennium Falcon. Fett managed to escape from Nar Shaddaa, and eventually returned to Mandalore.

After assuming control of the new Mandalorians, he had the Slave I given an overhaul to ensure its integrity, and once again put the ship to use tracking down bounties. It remained in service for several decades, surviving the Yuuzhan Vong war and Fett's missions for Nom Anor.

At various points in its history, the Slave I was armed with two Borstel GN-40 twin rotating blaster cannons, a pair of Dymek HM-8 concussion missile launchers, a Brugiss C/1n ion cannon, and a pair of Arakyd AA/SL proton torpedo launchers. (E5, MTS, DE1, DE2, EGV, SLS, VD2, X2, NEGV, BH, SWI89, PM, LF2, CCS)

Slave II
Boba Fett's backup ship, this modified MandalMotors Pursuer patrol vehicle was weaker than Slave I, but it served its purpose well after the Alliance confiscated Fett's primary ship. However, what it lacked in punch it made up for in speed and maneuverability. The original engines had been replaced with twin Mil-StarIV engines mated with three x41 maneuvering thrusters mounted in the port-side strut. It had a forward-firing ion and twin blaser cannons, as well as a rear-firing proton torpedo launcher. Slave II also had enhanced sensors, but lacked Slave I's stealth capabilities. Slave II was severely damaged over Byss when Boba Fett tried to pursue Han Solo and Salla Zend near the planet. Solo took the Millennium Falcon into a dive toward the planet's surface just as the planet's shield generators kicked on. Slave II hit the shields and glanced off them, ripping off the portside stabilizer and causing massive system damage. Luckily for Fett, the ship's shield generators were at full-power. Fett drydocked Slave II after this incident, returning to the use of Slave I. (DE1, DESB, DE2, EE, EGV)

Slave III
Boba Fett briefly used this starship on his bounty-hunting missions, after he lost Slave I during a failed attempt to capture Han Solo on Nar Shaddaa. Fett used Slave III only briefly, since it was badly damaged during the attack on the Azgoghk. (NEGC)

Slave IV
Boba Fett owned this starship some fifteen years after the Battle of Endor. He used it to track down Kardue'sai'Malloc on Peppel, and return the Devaronian to Devaron for judgement. He also used the ship to track down Bornan Thul, in response to a bounty placed on the shipping magnate by Nolaa Tarkona. The ship was eventually abandoned on Shogun, after Fett was intercepted by Ailyn Vel. (TBH, DIV, TEP, SWI80)

Slave Pits of Lorrd
Located near the city of Qatamer, on the planet Lorrd, these pits were originally excavated by Argazdan invaders during the era of the Kanz Disorders. After bombarding most of the planet's cities from orbit, the Argazdans established a slaving outpost near Qatamer. Lorrdian refugees were rounded up and held in vast concentration camps, and they were eventually forced to dig out the cone-shaped slave pits by hand, despite the fact that droids and heavy mining machinery were readily available. After the Jedi Knights defeated the Argazdans and freed the Lorrdians, the slave pits were abandoned, and it was believed that the surrounding desert eventually covered the slave pits with sand. Although the Slave Pits of Lorrd were remembered in stories, they were considered nothing more than a legend in the wake of the Clone Wars, until Imperial satellite scans revealed their location in the deserts near Qatamer. In a strange twist of fate, an Argazdan researched named Raygar was named to lead the excavation of the archaeological site. During Raygar's excavations, Tash Arranda discovered a strange hologram of Jedi Master Mari-Elan Nora within the Crypt of Martyrs, in which a simulation of the ancient Jedi Knight revealed that she had ordered the Slave Pits to be filled in following the final battle of the Kanz Disorders. The hologram explained that the surviving Argazdans had fled into the pits, hoping to regroup for a final attack on the Jedi, but they were never seen again. A group of Jedi Knights who entered the pits in search of the Argazdans also disappeared, prompting Master Nora to fill in the pits and erase any knowledge of their existence from Lorrdian computer systems. Tash and her brother, Zak, tracked Raygar and an Imperial spy known only as Diamond to the slave pits, where the evil scientist revealed that the Slave Pits of Lorrd had originally been constructed by a Regent known as Torphceris, from plans and ideas that were created by a strange, alien being the Argazdans had found in the Redoubt. Desperate for a way to defeat the combined forces of the Jedi Knights and the Old Republic, the Argazdan leaders turned to the alien for assistance. The alien being - known as habensa in the Argazdan language and sometimes referred to as the Architect - demanded the lives of thousands of slaves, and drew upon their sacrifices to create a strange device or weapon in the Great Slave Pit of Lorrd. Raygar later called forth the weapon when he killed Agent Diamond and spilled her blood in the Great Slave Pit, but was frightened to learn that the weapon was actually an immense, amphibian-like creature. Raygar destroyed the creature and the pit with a thermal detonator before fleeing the planet. Later, the droid D-V9 postulated that the Slave Pits of Lorrd might be an array of ground-based radio antennas, but D-V9 could not speculate on whether or not this was their actual use. (OWS)

Slave Quarter
This was the name of the compact were of hovels used to house the slaves owned in the city of Mos Espa, during the last years of the Old Republic. (IG1)

Slave Quarters Row
This was the name given to the main thoroughfare that ran through the Slave Quarter of Mos Espa, on the planet Tatooine, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (RFDV)

Slave Seed
This was the name of the yorik coral implant used by the Yuuzhan Vong to control those beings they took as slaves. The slave seed began as a tiny grain that was placed inside the slave's body. Most often, the slave seed was placed near the heart, but it could be inserted anywhere on the slave's body. As the slave seed grew, two things happened. First, it established a connection with the nearest controlling organism, usually a yammosk. Then, it extended its own nervous system along the nervous system of its host, developing a deep-rooted connection to the slave. This connection, known as the slave seed-web, was then tapped by the controlling organism, allowing the Yuuzhan Vong to control vast numbers of slaves with a single organism. Like many other pieces of Yuuzhan Vong bio-technology, the primary stimulus for controlling slaves was pain. The controlling organism could direct the slave seed to stimulate or shut down certain nerve clusters, causing a wide range of painful shocks to its host. In this way, slaves were conditioned to do what the Yuuzhan Vong wanted them to do. Slave seeds were engineered with a unique fail-safe: whenever contact was broken with the controlling organism, the slave seed-web administered an intense pain which could only be assuaged by contact with its parent coraltree basal. This was useful during the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat, when the maturing dhuryams had to survive on their own, without the assistance of their slaves. Slave seeds were no longer independent creatures after they began extending their nerves along those of the host. If a slave seed were to be removed from its host, it would die immediately. (T)

Slave Seed-Web
This was the term used to describe the network of nerve connections which were developed by the slave seeds of the Yuuzhan Vong. This nerve network meshed with the nervous system of the host, virtually becoming a single network which was controlled by the host's brain and the slave seed's controlling organism. The web's primary purpose was to connect with sensile nerves in the host, allowing the controlling organism to administer pain whenever the slave disobeyed. The web was engineered with a unique fail-safe: whenever contact was broken with the controlling organism, the web administered an intense pain which could only be assuaged by contact with its parent coraltree basal. This was useful during the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat, when the maturing dhuryams had to survive on their own, without the assistance of their slaves. (T)

Slave/Owner Card
This form of identification was required by Imperial law. Any alien who was a member of an enslaved species was required to be accompanied by its owner while traveling or working outside the owner's establishment. The owner was required to show the card whenever it was demanded by Imperial agents. (CRO)

Slavelord Boulevard
This was the name of a street that was located in Kessendra, on the planet Kessel. (GDV)

Slavemaster Stun Carbine
Developed by the Trandoshan race, this rifle was used by many bounty hunters and slavers throughout the galaxy. It was designed with the Trandoshan physique in mind, so it was easily used by most Trandoshans. It was developed during the height of the New Order, and continued to be popular for many decades. It fires a pulse of energy that stunned a target into submission, using a normal blaster power pack. (WOTC, UANT)

Slaver Syndicate
This large bounty-hunting syndicate was based on the planet Karazak, and was one of the ten primary "houses" that made of the Bounty Hunters' Guild, during the height of the New Order. It speciallized in capturing large alien races such as Wookiees, Gamorreans, and Agorffi. They collected individuals with bounties on their heads, bought their ownership rights, and resold them as slaves. (GG9, SWI89)

Slavers Consortium
During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Count Dooku envisioned a grand scheme in which slavers would be used to discredit the Grand Army of the Republic. According to this plan, Separatist forces would land on a remote planet and attempt to subjugate the local population, prompting a response from the Jedi Order and the Republic's military forces. Before Republic forces could arrive, however, slavers like the Zygerians would be allowed to move in and swiftly capture the inhabitants. Thus, when the Republic's forces finally managed to defeat the Separatists and "liberate" the planet, they would find that there was no one left to liberate. With the locals safely hidden away by the slavers, Dooku could then claim that they had been killed by the Republic during the battle for control of the planet. With the porpaganda, Dooku hoped to convince more and more planets to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems. However, High Queen Miraj Scintel of Zygeria - who had been named the Minister of the Slavers Consortium - envisioned a much different outcome, and dreamed of enslaving the entire galaxy. She sided with Dooku in order to gain access to the best populations of potential slaves, and then planned to sell them to the highest bidder at the Royal Slave Auction. When the auction was disrupted by Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Ahsoka Tano, word got out that the Zygerians were selling the captured populations, smashing Dooku's propaganda plans. (TCW1)

Slaver's Line
A thin cord that incorporated special circuitry, the slaver's line was used to link a number of captives into a single group, controlled by a director. The line attached to slaving collars worn by the slaves, and transmitted the punishing impulses from the director the collar. They were illegal, since slavery had been outlawed since the time of the Old Republic. However, they saw a rise in use during the early years of the New Order, when the government turned a blind eye to slaving practices, especially in the farther reaches of the galaxy. (HSR)

Slaveship
This was the term used by the New Republic to describe the immense, spherical ships used by the Yuuzhan Vong to acquire living beings from a conquered planet. The main body of the slaveship was protected by dense yorik coral, and was studded with dovin basals for protection. The slaveship was unarmed otherwise, and required a coralskipper escort when it was called for. After the Yuuzhan Vong had taken control of a planet, they brought in the slaveship to collect their prize - the living inhabitants. Five thick tentacles hung from the stern of the slaveship, and were lowered to the planet's surface. The muscular tentacles, then, literally sucked up any captured beings, ingesting them in such a way that very few were killed. Once inside the slaveship, captives were bound to the inner walls with a modified form of blorash jelly, where they were fed just enough to keep them alive until they could be processed by the Yuuzhan Vong. (FH1)

Slaving Collar
This was the name given to a wide variety of collars used to control enslaved beings. They took a number of different forms, from simple shackles connected with chains to elaborate pain-delivering nooses which were attached to slaver's lines and equipped with deadman switches. These systems allowed a slavelord to have complete control over a slave, eliminating any chance of escape. (EGW, HSR)

Slayer, The
This was one of the nicknames of the Yuuzhan Vong god Yun-Yammka. (VP)

Slayer, The
This was the Menahuun name given to Hugo Bartyn, the man who nearly drove the Menahuun to extinction some 500 years before the Clone Wars. (GMR7)

Slayers
This was a new caste of Yuuzhan Vong warriors, superior even to the Hunters, created by Supreme Overlord Shimrra some four years after the start of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Molded from the aspects of the warrior and priest castes, the Slayers were created to serve as the final blow to the New Republic's chances to retake the galaxy. Their robust bodies were made from all manner of Yuuzhan Vong biotechnology, including vonduun crabs and dovin basals. The Slayers also appeared to have been Shamed, with Steng's Talons sticking from their bodies and oozing blood. Shimrra created the Slayers as an answer to the Jedi Knights, capable of piloting coralskippers and fighting with incredible agility and speed. They were armed with specially-bred amphistaffs, stronger and more vicious than their cousins. When cut in battle, the wounds of a Slayer healed almost immediately. Shimrra also used their creation as propaganda that proved his right to rule the Yuuzhan Vong. If their gods were truly displeased with him he reasoned, they would not have allowed the Slayers to be formed int the first place. The coralskippers of the Slayers were also unique, capable of making jumps into hyperspace on their own. These more powerful coralskippers had three triangular sections, with the forward two housing a pilot and gunner and the rear section housed the dovin basal propulsion system. The forward sections had three pairs of legs each, giving the fighter the appearance of an Aruzan stingcrawler. Each leg was equipped with a plasma missile launcher. The Slayers made their first appearance during the Galactic Alliance's attempt to rescue the prisoners who were held on Selvaris. (UF)

Slayer's Conceit
This was one of the many Yuuzhan Vong warships which was called to the planet Coruscant - remade into a new version of the planet Yuuzhan'tar - just before the alien invaders launched their all-out attack on the Galactic Alliance's stronghold on Mon Calamari. (UF)

Slayke, Zozridor
This Old Republic Navy Captain was in command of the corvette Scarlet Thranta, during the year leading up to the Clone Wars. Very little was known or remembered about his history, although he was known for his talents and abilities as a naval leader. When the Galactic Senate deadlocked itself over what to do about the Separatist crisis, Captain Slayke and his crew mutinied against the Navy and decided to take the fight directly to the Separatists. The Scarlet Thranta fled into Sluissi space, but was pursued by Nejaa Halcyon and the Plooriod Bodkin. Although Halycon managed to trap Slayke's forces on Bpfashh, Slayke had the last laugh. He sent one of his lieutenants, a Rodian named Grudo, to confront Halycon, knowing that the Jedi Master would not simply hack his way to Slayke. While Halcyon accepted Grudo's challenge of combat, Slayke slipped behind the lines and made off with the Plooriod Bodkin, adding the ship to his growing fleet. While Halcyon returned to Coruscant in embarassment, Slayke continued his campaign against the Separatists. As soon as he had escaped from the Republic, Slayke and his forces dubbed themselves Freedom's Sons and Daughters. Shortly afterward, he was officially pardoned for his mutiny by Chancellor Palpatine himself. Nevertheless, Slayke chose to remain independent. His small fleet was the only force nearby when the Separatists attacked the communications center on Praesitlyn, and his daring battle plan got him inside the Separatist blockade and onto the planet's surface. He managed to send off a request for reinforcments to Coruscant before he entered the jamming field of the Separatists. Once on Praesitlyn, his forces fought bravely, but were badly outnumbered by the Separatists' battle droids. Only the timely appearance of an Old Republic battle force - led, ironically, by Master Halcyon himself - gave them any hope. Slayke was reluctant to step out of a command position and turn the fighting over to Halcyon, but he was impressed with Halcyon's second-in-command, young Anakin Skywalker. He was also motivated by the speech of Reija Momen, who obviously disobeyed the orders of Pors Tonith in reading a prepared statement pleading for her life. As a group, they devised several plans of attack for recovering the communications center, but battlefield confusion forced them into a desparate rescue attempt. Their combined forces managed to defeat the battle droids commanded by Pors Tonith, and Slayke graciously offered to return the Plooriod Bodkin to Halcyon. Halcyon politely refused, and they parted ways on more friendly terms. (HNN5, JT)

Slay-mo
This was a colloquial usage of the Huttese word sleemo. (LFCW)

Slayn
One of the Verpine colonies which helped Ackbar develop the B-Wing starfighter. (RASB)

Slayn & Korpil Corporation
This corporation was formed by neighboring Verpine colonies in the Roche Asteroid Field, and was best-known for its work with Admiral Ackbar in the development of the B-Wing starfighter for the Alliance, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Slayn & Korpil was a well-known source of starships during the time of the Old Republic, and remained loyal to the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. Following the Battle of Endor, Slayn & Korpil helped design the V-Wing combat speeder for the New Republic. Decades later, at the height of the Swarm War, many of the Verpine who worked for Slayn & Korpil became Joiners, and took a large number of Slayn & Korpil starships with them. (RASB, DESB, EGV, DN3)

SlaynRoche Company
This Verpine corporation produced a variety of asteroid mining and excavation vehicles during the era of the New Order. (GFT)

SLD-26
This was the designation of CoMar's planetary shield generator. This immense shield generator was designed to protect a large area of a planet's surface, but could also be configured to protect an orbiting moon or space station. The Empire used the SLD-26 to protect the second Death Star, during its construction in orbit around the Forest Moon of Endor. (EGW)

Sleak
This was a species of insect that fed on the scum that collected on the surface of swamps. (MBS)

Sleazebaggano, Elan
This near-human Balosar lived on the planet Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Unknown to most beings, his true name was Elan Sel'Sabagno, but he preferred to use this name in order to hide his true identity. He was a noted drug dealer in the CoCo District, peddling death sticks to anyone who would buy them. At one time, Elan was a student of medicine, and had a promised career as a doctor to look forward to. Unfortunately, he ran afoul of Hat Lo, who discovered Elan's connection to restricted pharmaceutical drugs when Elan himself became addicted to Ixetal cilona extract. Elan was distinguished by his unruly, wiry hair anf the two small antennae that sprouted from his head. He tried to sell death sticks to Obi-Wan Kenobi, during the Jedi Knight's search for Zam Wesell, but was unable to overcome the mental manipulations of the Jedi. It was rumored that Elan went home that night and resolved to clean up his life. His resolved apparently didn't last very long, however, as Elan soon went back to his old ways. He also became a lackey working for Hat Lo, driving a speeder for the minor crimelord's guests. Elan also found a small niche selling rare and highly weapons, and he was able to secure a Kamino saberdart for young Boba Fett, who had traveled to Coruscant in an attempt to kill Mace Windu. (OWS, TCG1, E2N, SWDB, GMR10, BF6)

Sleazebaggano, Guire
This alien was a noted sports agent, representing some of the Old Republic's best-known athletes, during the years leading up the Clone Wars. Sleazebaggano was perhaps best-known for representing Garcy Flugg, and negotiated to have Flugg's natural arm installed in the hil-lo Hall of Fame. (HNN5)

Sled Fox
This was the largest predator found on Berea, living in the tundra and preying on a variety of birds and small creatures. The sled fox had only two true legs, and had vestigial hind appendages which it used to steer its body as it slid down icy slopes. This form of locomotion earned the fox its name. (TBSB)

Slee, Beru
This woman was a noted expert in the martial art of teras kasi, during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. (HNN5)

Slee, Khe-Jeen
This male Issori joined the New Republic X-Wing group Rogue Squadron just before the Battle of Bilbringi, but was killed during the attempt to gather data on the moon Distna. Ysanne Isard's clone had learned of the New Republic's attempt to locate Pulsar Station, and used the information in her bid to eliminate Rogue Squadron. She dispatched Prince-Admiral Krennel's forces to Corvis Minor Five, where they ambushed the reconnaissance team. (IR)

S'lee
This Trandoshan assassin worked for Jabba the Hutt during the height of the Galactic Civil War. S'lee was captured on Corellia, and Jabba dispatched Yondalla to retrieve him before he could be forced to reveal information on Jabba's business dealings. (SWGAL)

Sleeft Docking Bay Maintenance
This Mos Eisley corporation controlled several cargo storage locations near the spaceport. They once tried to steal high-quality droid parts from a shipment that belonged to Notsub Shipping, but an ambitious Bith named Angor Farn tried to steal it. Farn was eventually caught by Coral Ohah and a group of Alliance agents. (GG7)

Sleek Cruiser Inn
Located on Grand Eucer Street in the capital city of Eusebus, on the planet Euceron, this hotel was definitely not sleek. Located in the shabbiest part of Eusebus, the Sleek Cruiser Inn catered to those beings who did not want to be identified while they were on Euceron, and didn't want to pay a lot for lodging. The exterior was a collection of plasteel sheets nailed together, while all usable interior space was turned over to lodging. The owner discovered that beings would pay for the space in the hallways and stairwells, and soon all manner of beings were living on the floors and in closets, as well as in the rooms. (JQ3)

Sleeker Systems
This small starship design corporation produced unique and innovative vessels, during the final years of the Old Republic. Sleeker's designs were considered to be among the most state-of-the-art, and catered to the needs and whims of the galaxy's wealthiest beings. Their designs were often debuted at the Galactic Luxury Starship Manufacturers' Convention. The corporate motto was, "The highest ranking, the most personal service." (LJ10)

This enormous, Hutt-owned yacht was one of many pleasure craft on which the band Distraction played their songs, during the early years of the New Order. Translated into Basic, the ship's name meant "The Drooling Jedi". Beings came from all over the Astal Sector of the galaxy to attend concerts aboard the Sleemo Poya Jeedai. (WOA28)

Sleen
This monitor-like lizard was an omnivorous feeder native to the planet Dagobah. Sleens sought out damp, dark environments which were strong with the Force. (CCG4, TCG7)

Sleena
This was the alias used by Shada D'ukal, when she and Talon Karrde infiltrated the Peace Brigade while trying to rescue the students at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (EVC)

Sleep Coffin
A hibernation bed used to keep a person in suspended animation during a long, sublight stapce flight. (CS)

Sleep Couch
This was the generic term used to describe any form-fitting furniture used as bedding. (LJ1)

Sleep Inducer
This was another name for the Pacnorval SIL-50 stun pistol. (GFT)

Sleep Thought
This was the term used by Luke Skywalker to describe the sensations he experienced while being trapped in the Pawning Table on Mindor, several months after the Battle of Endor. Lord Cronal had planned to trap Luke in the meltmassif stone of the table, then transfer his consciousness into Luke's mind. While trapped in the stone, Luke experienced time in odd ways, but recognized that someone was trying to enter his mind. He drew upon the strength of the Force to delve into the Sleep Thought, to examine it closely, in order to understand it. Luke suddenly realized that the Sleep Thought was being generated by the energy-based beings that inhabited the crystalline matrix of the meltmassif stone. (LSSM)

Sleeper
This was the name of a figure out of Charr Ontee legend. The modern Charr Ontee discovered that Jessa Dajus was the Sleeper of their legends. It was her image - or one very similar to Jessa - that the Charr Ontee found on a 1,000-year-old document within DakrStryder's fortress, in a location which came to be known as the Shrine of the Sleeper. The Yapi also believed in the legend of the Sleeper, having learned that DarkStryder was fearful of the Sleeper ever awakening. (E)

Sleeper
This was a slang term used to describe a hold-out blaster. (KOTOR)

Sleeper Bomb
This form of explosive device was used to cripple a starship in deep space. It was attached to the ship's hull in such a way that it could continuously and innocuously drain power from the ship's core. When it reached a certain power level, the bomb would draw an increasingly greater portion of the ship's power as it approached detonation. With a shaped charge and the correct power level, the bomb exploded in such a way that it ripped a hole in the ship's hull. The impending depressurization quickly and effectively killed the ship's crew and left her stranded in space. A sleeper bomb could also be used to destroy a ship that was berthed on the ground, provided that a nearby power source could be found to draw energy from while the bomb charged. (HSR, JQ2)

Sleeper Pod
Believed to have originated on Alderaan, this ancient starship design contained a set of cryogenic freezing chambers, in which humans could be frozen for the long journeys between star systems. Sleeper pods were among the first, true interstellar transport vessels ever produced in the known galaxy. (LCSB)

Sleeper Ship
This was the term used to describe any ancient starship that suspended animation to keep its crew alive while it traveled at sublight speeds to nearby star systems. The use of suspended animation was required because these ships took centuries to reach their destination. Thus, they required sophisticated automation and droids to ensure that the ship's mission was carried out while the living crew slept in stasis. The use of sleeper ships was relegated to an interesting historical era when the existence of hyperspace was proven, and starships were eqiupped with drive systems that allowed them to enter and exit hyperspace safely. (NECH)

Sleeper-One
This was DarkStryder's name for the ancient Jedi Knight Halbret, who was referred to by the Kathol natives as the Sleeper. (E)

Sleep-generation Field
This was a form of force field that was employed by many police stations and prisons during the height of the New Order. When activated, it caused any being within the field to become groggy and fall asleep, rendering them incapable of action until the field was released. (JS)

Sleep-inducer
This wrist-mounted weapon was favored by Twi'leks. It was a close-range weapon which was jabbed into the target's flesh. A small trigger releases a sleep-inducing fluid into the victim, knocking them unconsious. (THG)

Sleepless Brotherhood
Very little was known about this band of mercenaries, who were active during the era of the Galactic Civil War. (SWGAL)

Sleepy Grin, The

Sleesh
When translated into Basic, this Ewok word meant "berry." (GPB)

Sleestax
This was a term used to describe any location or situation that was complex or hard to follow. It could also be used to describe a large collection of very similar objects. In normal conversation, "trying to find a needle in a sleestax" was a phrase used to describe any impossible task or job. (CN1)

Sleeth
This was one of the many Sith speeders that participated in the Battle of Mizra. Like other such speeders, it was commanded by a Dark Lord of the Sith. (NECH)

Sleeth
This tentacle-headed native of the planet Molavar rose to power in the deserts of his homeworld during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo, demanding protection money from local moisture farmers in exchange for being left alone. Much of Sleeth's perceived power stemmed from the dominating presence of his mother, Magon, an immense being who served as the primary crimelord on Molavar. (T23)

Sleeve Blaster
This was a generic term used to describe any hold-out blaster that could be worn on the arm and hidden beneath the sleeve of a garment. (A)

Sleeve Gun
This was the term used to describe any holdout blaster or other weapon that could be hidden inside the sleeve of a garment. When the hand was thrust outward with a flick of the wrist, the sleeve gun dropped into the palm, ready to be fired. (GMR10)

Sleft-chuff
This was the term used to describe a single sleft-chuffni. (CWWRT)

Sleft-chuffni
This species of huge floating gasbags was native to the gas giant Taloraan. The sleft-chuffni could grow to be 200 meters in length, and spent their lives drifting among the clouds, capturing airborne algae with their hanging tentacles. The sleft-chuffni were the primary source of food for the fleft-wauf. (SWJ5, CWWRT)

Sleg, Rum
This bounty hunter was working in Mos Espa, on the planet Tatooine, during the last decades of the Old Republic, and attended the Boonta Eve Classic podrace which was won by Anakin Skywalker. Rum Sleg had a skeletal appearance, but only his face was visible from his full-body, armored flightsuit. Many beings questioned whether or not Sleg was human, since his skeletal appearance seemed to be painted on his helmet. (YJC6, SWI89)

Slego
This male Zygerrian served as the Captain of the Guard at the Zygerrian Royal Palace, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When Anakin Skywalker arrived on Zygerria while searching for clues about the disappearance of the Togruta colonists on Kiros, he tried to land on the planet with the starship and credentials he had stolen from Captain Onyx. Slego refused to believe that Skywalker had won the ship in a game of chance, and would have thrown him in prison if the Most High Queen, Miraj Scintel, had not stopped him. She demanded an audience with Skywalker, who was using the alias Lars Quell, and ordered Captain Slego to escort him to the palace. Slego threatened to keep an eye on Skywalker, in case he tried to do anything illegal. After the Lars Quell alias was exposed, High Queen Scintel ordered Skywalker to serve as her personal servant, and Slego was ordered to place Skywalker's Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, in a small cage that would be hung from the exterior of the palace. When Skywalker managed to escape and rescue his Padawan, they forced Slego to cram his body into the cage, and they left him hanging from the building. (TCW1)

Sleheyron
This planet was under the control of Bochaba the Hutt, during the era of the Great Sith War. Millennia later, the planet was controlled by the Desilijic clan. The Hutts of Sleheyron were noted for their brilliant and ostentacious tattoos and headdresses. (KOTOR, CWVG)

Sleheyroni
This was the term used to describe the Hutt crimelords of the planet Sleheyron. These Hutts were noted for their brightly-colored tattoos and extravagant headdresses. The tattoos were not necessarily detailed or complex, but covered large portions of a Hutt's body. (CWVG)

Sleight Box
This normal-looking cargo crate had a low-power repuslor coil matrix and power supply built into the casing. This allowed the user to transport a very heavy object in a crate that, when lifted by customs agents, seems to contain something very light. In essence, it neutralizes the weight of the object inside. A crate full of thermal detonators would weigh virtually nothing when transported in a sleight box. They were fairly expensive, and used primarily by smugglers. (TFE)

Sleightan
This old man wandered the corridors of the Mynock 7 Space Station, accompanied by the droid L7-BO. Sleightan claimed to be down on his luck, having lost his son Armbrus to an Imperial customs officer who imprisoned him. He kept trying to sell the droid in order to have enough credits to survive, since Amrbrus could no longer send him monthly spending money. However, few realized (until it was too late) that L7-BO was also a con artist, and would flee from any being who purchased and return to Sleightan for another "sale." (SWJ11)

Slen'da, Corask
This Bothan was, at one time, head of the Obroan Institute's archaeological facility on Rafa V, where he was in charge of investigating the Sharu and the life-crystals. He was arrested by Myle Jandler for the assassination of several Sharu leaders who were friendly to the government of the Centrality, and was forced to work as a life-crystal harvester. He was rescued by a team of freelance mercenaries higher by the Obroan Institute, and then threatened the team with a lightsaber. Slen'da claimed to be a Jedi Knight was on Rafa V to destroy the life-crystal orchards before they could consume the life energies of innocent beings. (GMR5)

Slenn
An Imperial Vice Admiral, Slenn was placed in charge of the invasion of Datar during the Galactic Civil War. When he mistakenly made the Alliance team aware of his invasion fleet, the Alliance was able to rally and defeat the Imperials. Darth Vader executed Slenn for this mistake. (TME)

Slesher, Leb
This man lived in the city of Kaadara, on the planet Naboo, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Sleuth
The brand name of Incom's A-24 scout ship. (WBC, LAA)

Slice, The
This was the name given to the wedge-shaped section of the galaxy which had its point in the Core Worlds and expanding outward. The Slice was originally defined in the Corellian Treaty, an ancient pact that created The Slice. The edges of The Slice were defined by the Corellian Trade Spine and the Perlemian Trade Route, and it extended into the Mid Rim and Beyond. The establishment of The Slice defined the boundaries of the Old Republic at the time. (RPG, CCW)

Sliced Neural Attunement Amplifier
This was a form of amplifier that was used to play music at small concerts. This device took in the signals from electronic instruments and, in addition to providing sound amplification, it emitted waves of energy that helped to heighten the experience by transmitting music-related signals to the brains of any being in attendance. In general, the Sliced Neural Attunement Amplifier was used to add emotional impact to music, but it could also be used to induce beings to dance, eat or drink, or act with wild abandon. (SWGAL)

Slice-hound
This carnovirous mammal was native to Corellia, although a subspecies was also discovered on the planet Dantooine. These creatures was somewhat tamable, and often were trained to be guard beasts. (CCG, GQRG, SWG2P)

Slicer
This was one of two Skipray Blastboats stolen by Bazak's Gang. Along with the Slasher, the Slicer saw action during boarding actions. The ship's armament was upgraded to include three medium ion cannons, a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons, a proton torpedo launcher, and a concussion missile launcher. (FBS)

Slicer
This was the term used to describe a computer hacker. (HTTE)

Slicer
This was Jaina Solo's secret callsign, when she served as a member of the Darkmeld unit, during the years that followed the Second Galactic Civil War. The nickname did not refer to her computer skills, but was a reference to her other designation, the Sword of the Jedi. (FJ1)

Slicer Chip
A small information chip which allows the holder to bypass certain computer-driven systems, based on the chip's programming. They can be used to bypass door locks and security fields, to name a couple of uses. (COTF)

Slicer Droid
This was a specialized form of automation that was programmed to infiltrate computer systems. They were considered illegal for use by civilians, and were supposed to have been sold only to governmental agencies. These lumpy droids appeared to sit hunched over their terminals, working tirelessly to pore through encrypted data and sift out key bits of information. Unlike living slicers, slicer droids could work for years on a project without resting. (JS, COTF)

SliceRat
This was the pseudonym of a slicer who worked on the planet Bothawui during the early years of the New Republic. (GUN)

Slicewire
Similar in form to a garrote, slicewire was a strong, flat wire held between two batons. The wire itself was only a molecule wide, and was finely serrated on both edges. It was capable of cutting through most solids, as the wire can withstand large amounts of abuse. (ROE)

Slici Canyon
This canyon was one of the many surface features of the planet Kamino that were covered with water during the Great Flood. Located on the planet's southern hemisphere, Slici Canyon plunged some 10,000 meters beneath the surface of the water. (GORW)

Slick
This gambler was stranded at Edan II during the Imperial assault on the Alliance's Edan Base, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (IAG)

Slick
This was a nickname Han Solo acquired while still a cadet in the Imperial Academy. Originally coined by Alexsandr Badure, it referred to a time when Badure had rigged an old U-33 loadlifter to purposely malfunction for training exercises. Han Solo was one of the cadets on the mission, and when the ship's reservoir-locking valves began to malfunction, Han took over and landed the crippled vessel. The officer in charge nearly died from the stress of the landing, which Badure was amazed the young cadet could pull off. When Han asked whether or not the landing was slick enough, Badure could only utter, "Slick." The nickname stuck with Badure, who referred to Han as Slick for many years to follow. (HSL)

Slick
This viscous substance, which was essentially fermented seaweed oil produced on the planet Vaynai, had certain medicinal properties. Most of the slick produced on the planet during the height of the New Order was manufactured by Onoron Fil'vye, who controlled nearly all the exports of slick from Vaynai. When the seaweed from Vaynai's shallow oceans was pureed and allowed to ferment, it created an smily oil which stimulated tissue growth when applied to open wounds. When ingested, it helped to accelerate the body's own natural healing. When ingested in large amounts, or when taken as a recreational drug, slick caused a sort of euphoric delusion in the minds of most humanoid races. If improperly stored, slick had a slightly corrosive chemical structure that quickly ate away at plastoid containers, and could weaken most glass jars. (GMR8)

Slick
This clone trooper Sergeant led one of the many scouting missions carried out on the planet Christophsis, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Named for his resourceful and discreet nature, Sergeant Slick and his men were part of the task force dispatched by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to locate a suitable ambush site for attacking the Separatist droids who were invading the planet. However, the chosen site was compromised, and the clones were trapped by swarms of droids. The Jedi managed to reach the ambush site after fighting through other droids, and helped even the battle field. When the Jedi later confronted Slick about a possible spy among his clones, he initially refused to believe it, but allowed Captain Rex and Commander Cody to question his men. All the stories of Slick's men checked out, although Chopper was discovered to be keeping droid fingers as souvenirs of battle. Instead of giving in, Chopper revealed that he had seen Slick moving outside the barracks. Slick refused to back down, and explained that he would ask the Jedi to investigate the situation when they returned. Since Cody and Rex had been the only clones who knew that the Jedi had left their base, they knew that Slick was the spy. Slick fought his way clear and fled the barracks, hoping to escape before being captured. When he was finally apprehended, Slick railed against the Jedi, claiming that they had all but enslaved the clone troopers, and that his treachery was a blow for the freedom of his brothers. Despite the fact that Slick was captured and taken away, the Separatists were still able to launch their full assault, setting off the Battle of Christophsis. (CWOC1, CWTV16)

Slickplast
This thin film was used to produce posters and other wall hangings, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN4)

Slicksuit
This form-fitting piece of clothing was used by athletes to cover their bodies with a minimum of fabric. Slicksuits also found a niche among military personnel, who preferred them for use in non-combat activities. (LF7)

Slider
First made popular by Dexter Jettster on the planet Coruscant, this form of ground-meat sandwich was made from perforated food-board. A slider was often served with a special sauce for garnish, although many beings consumed the garnish first as an antidote to the gastrinal distress which was often caused by the consumption of food-board. Many competitors claimed that Dex used addictive drugs in his garnish sauce, which was why his sliders were somuch more popular than any other being's version. (VD2)

Slideramp
This was a form of moving sidewalk developed to help get beings from one level of a building to another. (SWI67)

Slidewalk
A slidewalk was essentially a moving sidewalk used to transport people from one area to another. This device was also known as a slideway. The surface of a slidewalk was anisotropic, allowing beings who stood in the center of the walkway to move at speed, while beings who stepped to the edge slowed down in preparation for exiting the slidewalk onto static pavement. Slidewalks could be used to move beings from location to location on a single level, or specially-sloped slidewalks could move beings between levels. (BTS, MC35, CN1, RC66)

Slideway
see slidewalk. (MC35)

Sligh
This Squib was part of a trio who worked behind the scenes, gathering information about the shadier parts of the galaxy and providing it to the New Republic Intelligence agency. They worked from a base on Tatooine, and were known to have extensive knowledge of the planet's deserts. Sligh accompanied Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, to Tatooine, as part of a mission to intercept a group of Imperial agents. Sligh worked with his partners, Grees and Emala, to complete their non-human entourage. When the bidding began on a holocube image of nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker, taken when he won the Boonta Eve Classic podracer just prior to the Battle of Naboo, Han instructed Sligh to bid on it for Leia. However, Sligh got carried away with the bidding and had to be physically restrained by Han. After Tatooine, the Squibs decided that selling art to the Imperials was not only profitable, but an excellent way to obtain more information about Imperial activities. They also aligned themselves with the Invisible Shell to help further their efforts in obtaining rare artwork. They made no effort to correct the NRI's assumption that it was Ludlo Lebauer providing the artworks to the Empire, since it ensured they could continue their efforts without being identified. Unfortunately, Grees had gotten too greedy and was captured by Ludlo Lebauer and frozen in carbonite, after a deal had gone bad between them. Emala and Sligh were forced to manipulate the Solos into helping rescue Grees, who had become known as the Second Mistake to Lebauer. Using their NRI contacts, the Squibs met up with the Solos on Pavo Prime and convinced them to recover the Second Mistake in addition to the ten Alderaanian boasas which were the real object of the Solos' mission. In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion and the subsequent galactic reconstruction, the three Squibs established a transport operation known as Second Mistake Enterprises, and were hired by the Colony to transport spinglass sculptures to the rest of the galaxy. The Squibs were unaware that each sculpture contained a handful of Gorog assassin bugs. This angered the Squibs, who set out to make the Solo family pay for their part in exposing the assassin bugs. Under the disguise of The Directors, the Squibs arranged for various assassination attempts on the lives of Han, Leia, and Jaina Solo, while maintained a war profiteering operation as well. (TG, SWI67, DN2, DN3)

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

Sligo Pirates
This gang of pirates haunted the undercity of Coruscant, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (AA)

Slii
This unusual, crawling plant was distinguished by its knotted roots and large, gauzy leaves. It was often found on the coastlines of tropical planets. (EVR)

Sliideptra
Native to the rainforests of Tel IV, the sliideptra was a species of annelid worms with three sets of eyes and an internal air sac used to collect and expel poison gas. Their yellow-white coloration had been described as "particularly distasteful" to humans. These creatures hang from tree branches by wrapping a series of tendrils around the branch, the hanging upside down. When it senses prey nearby, it expels the poisonous gas and waits for the prey to breathe it in and expire. The sliideptra shambles itself into position above the dead prey, then unwraps its tendrils until it can touch the prey. The sliideptra then extends its head and drools saliva over the prey, and then waits for preliminary digestion to begin. After an hour, the flesh of the prey become semi-liquid, and the sliideptra can then begin sucking it up. In this way, a sliideptra can feed on a carcass for several days, simply retracting its tendrils and resting in the tree in between feedings. (COG)

Sliken, Nomo
This Clawdite assassin worked for Moska the Hutt during the height of the New Order. It was Nomo Sliken who murdered Nak Simm, then took the Zabrak's place at a meeting that was scheduled to cement an alliance between the Hutt crimelords Torga and Jolla. Unfortunately, Nak Simm's body was discovered before the meeting could be finished, and Nomo Sliken's plans were exposed. Nomo fled from the Corusca Gem Casino in an effort to escape, using a variety of disguises to avoid being recognized. However, the beings with whom he had been meeting managed to capture him before he could escape into the crowded streets. Nomo was later imprisoned by Torga for his treachery. (WOA23)

Slim
Starfighter pilot slang term for an A-Wing. (IJ)

Slim, Magro
This male Klatooinan was wanted for a variety of vandalism activities aboard the Outland Transit Station during the years following the Battle of Naboo. He was a known associate of both Eno Arba and Meeko Ghintee during the time he spent on the station. A bounty was placed on his head by Rozatta himself. Magro Slim was eventually captured on the Outland Transit Station by Jango Fett and brought in for the bounty on his head. (BH)

Slime Beetle
This disgusting insect was named for the viscous slime that covered its carapace. (DSTR)

Slime Grub
This slang term was used by the beings of the Cularin System to describe any devious or underhanded being. (JCT3)

Slime Mold
This was a particularly bad-smelling species of mold. (DSTR)

Slime Sea
This disgusting body of water, found on the planet Sullust, was noted for the dedicated and vocal sailors who worked on it. The vulgar jargon of the Slime Sea sailors was legendary for its crude and insensitive nature. (MBS)

Slime Yeast
This was a disgusting form of plantlife. (LTA3)

Slimebottom
This slang term was used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe a member of the Hutt species, especially one who was considered dangerous or cruel. (GG9)

Slime-bug
A disgusting creature native to the planet Aracara. (HAS)

Slimego
This Rodian bounty hunter accompanied Crutag to Trinta, in pursuit of a team of Alliance agents. He and Slimego were intent on taking the rebels dead or alive, although Crutag wanted them alive to obtain a larger bounty. Slimego was captured by the Alliance agents and stranded on Trinta, along with Slizzik. (DOE)

Slime-snake
This species of snake was native to the planet Dagobah, and was named for the viscous slime it exuded from beneath its scales. This slime helped to prevent parasites from attaching to its skin, and its awful taste discouraged larger predators. (SWED)

Slime-wart
An unintelligent creature. (TME)

Slimp
The eyes of this creature were considered a culinary delicacy by the Hutts. (BF)

Sling Racer
Similar in many respects to podracers, these modified airspeeders used a variety of maneuvering vanes and jets to wind through a course, with repulsors used only to keep the vehicle off the ground. Also like podracers, these airspeeders often required their pilots to operate and control several individual jets and engines, leaving little time for concentration on the racecourse. (SPG)

Sling Racing
This sport burst onto the galactic scene after podracing was outlawed on many worlds. Using lightweight, modified airspeeders, racers were forced to navigate though mountains and canyons at incredible speeds. (SPG)

Slingball
This sport was popular during the early decades of the New Republic. Played in an indoor arena, two teams used curved gloves throw a ball back and forth, in an effort to get close enough to the other team's goal to throw the ball in. (U)

Slingshot
This was the name of Ruun's personal starship. (SWGAL)

Slinker
This was a generic term used to describe any guided missile that could fly below a target's defenses and reach a pre-defined target before exploding. Often, these missiles relied on the target being in a known location, and they were programmed to reach that location from a pre-determined starting point. More sophisticated slinkers used heat or lifeform sensors to acquire and locate their targets. (OF)

Slinthiss, Nurla
This being, a native of Dearic on the planet Talus, was sympathetic to the Alliance during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Slip Pad
This plant lived in the swamps of Togoria, where it produced large, waxy leaves that lay on the surface of the water. These leaves were tough and durable, and the native Togorians often used them to travel across swamps without entering the water. (MIS8)

Slip-jaws Maneuver
Named for the scissor-like mandibles of the slash-spider, this starfighter maneuver was used by the pilots of the Old Republic to draw off pursuit before shooting the enemy craft. Two pilots flew in patterns that were exactly opposite in pattern, splitting their pursuit into two groups. At the height of their arc, the two pilots then cut back sharply, until they were flying directly at one another. At the last second, the two ships jinked ever so slightly, passing belly-to-belly while firing on the enemy ships that were pursuing the other fighter. The surprised enemy ships usually could not maneuver out of the path of the oncoming blasts in time, and were destroyed. For most human pilots, this maneuver was almost impossible, since it subjected body to incredble G-forces and required split-second timing. However, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi perfected the maneuver during the height of the Clone Wars. (E3N)

Slippery Eel Casino

Slisst
This Trandoshan trained on his homeworld of Dosha to be a bounty hunter, and left to seek his fortune. Overly confident in his own abilities, Slisst was unprepared for the ferocity with which a cornered target could fight back. After being severely injured when his first bounty fought back and escaped, Slisst briefly considered retirement, but instead joined the Bounty Hunters Guild in order to gain access to their resources. He acquitted himself quite well under the Guild, but yearned to locate that first bounty and make him pay for the embarrassment he caused. (WOTC)

Slith
A primitive, reptilian race native to the deserts of Yavin 13, the Slith awere limbless carnivores noted for their large mouths, which were filled with spiked teeth. They moved about by "swimming" through the sand and over the rocks, but could also move laterally - a motion called side-slithering - with incredible speed. The Slith lived in a nomadic, patriarchal society, with small tribes of no more than 15 individuals moving across the desert in search of food and water. Each tribe seemed to have an alpha male, two breeding females, and a male "lieutenant", in addition to immature individuals. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Yavin 13 was devastated by the alien invaders, and the Slith civilization was all but exterminated. (GG2, LW, PH, GORW)

Slitherhorn
This instrument was considered part of the repertoire of a jizz band, during the last years of the New Order. It was a reeded instrument, providing an almost nasal musical sound.

Slithering Destroyer
This was one of the names used by the New Republic to describe Tu-Scart, the Beater created by the Yuuzhan Vong to destroy structures that were in the path of the Yuuzhan Vong army. Note that the Balance Point claims that Tu-Scart was the Biter. (WOTC)

Sliven
This Tusken Raider was the leader of his tribe when he decided to adopt Tahiri Veila. Sliven himself had been separated from his tribe several months earlier, after surviving a skirmish with a group of smugglers, and was taken in by Tahiri's parents, Tryst and Cassa. They tended to his wounds and restored him to health, despite the inherent cultural differences between humans and Tusken Raiders. While in their care, Sliven learned the Basic language, and became fond of Tahiri. The compassion of Tryst and Cassa made Sliven understand that their two peoples could live together, if only they were able to look beyond their ingrained fear and hatred of each other. To help rebuild his strength, and to help repay was debt, Sliven began to teach Tryst how to fight with a gaderffi. It was during one of their training sessions that Sliven's clan found him. They had been tracking him ever since the smuggler attack, and were surprised to find him in combat with a human. Believing him to be in trouble, the Tusken Raiders attacked and killed Tryst and Cassa with a swiftness that startled Sliven. Rather than abandoning Tahiri to the desert, Sliven demanded that she be taken into the tribe. However, he faced criticism from his tribe for the decision, especially from Vexa. He was forced to keep Tahiri's true parentage a complete secret from the girl, on penalty of death. Before leaving the farm behind, Sliven made a small pendant from a peice of mud, which he imprinted with the fingerprints of both Tryst and Cassa. The pendant he gave to Tahiri, although he could only tell her that the prints were from her parents. In order to learn the complete story of her parents, Tahiri would have to earn her place among the Tusken Raiders in a trial of adulthood. Sliven abided by the agreement, mainly because he loved the child and wanted her to grow up strong and free. Several years later, when Tionne came to Tatooine looking for Force-sensitive individuals, Sliven allowed Tahiri to travel to Yavin 4 in order to receive training as a Jedi. However, knowing that Tahiri would soon have to face her trial, Sliven made a deal with Tahiri. Tahiri had to return six months later and face the trials of a Tusken Raider youth. If Tahiri succeeded, then Tahiri would be allowed to learn of her true parentage. If she chose to remain on Yavin 4, she would be banished from the tribe forever. Sliven secretly hoped she would remain with the Jedi, although he admitted to himself that he didn't want to die. Tahiri surprised everyone, even Vexa, by returning to Tatooine and surviving her trial. Sliven gladly told her the truth about her parents, and was relieved when Tahiri felt no anger at him or the tribe for their deaths. He was also quietly heppy when Tahiri made her deicison to return to Yavin 4 and continue her training as a Jedi. As they parted, Sliven gave Tahiri a second pendant, this one with his own fingerprint, as a reminder of all three of her parents. Sliven passed away shortly after Tahiri returned at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. (P, KB, FH1)

A native of Daimar, Sliver had been serving the Royal House of Daimar throughout his entire careerm having been hired as an Intelligence officer after completing his education. His loyalty to King Mitar and the heirs of the Lamont Dynasty was unwavering, and so Sliver agreed to accompany the Princess Wilena when she fled Daimar with a group of freelance operatives, shortly after the Empire blockaded the planet.

Slivilith
First encountered on the planet Arbra, this immense, avian predator was noted for it unusual body structure. Resembling a huge crab, the slivilith's body was wide and flat, with a pair of reptilian wings sprouting from its shoulders. The underside of the slivilith was dotted with thick tentacles, which it used in place of arms. The wings of this creature were blue across the top, and creamy-white below. The rest of the body was greenish-blue, with the belly being the same white as the underside of the wings. Most of the galaxy considered the slivilith a myth, a belief that was emphasized by the holo-series The Voyages of the VSD Protector. Supporting this belief was the fact that only four sightings of living sliviliths have been recorded since the era of the Freedon Nadd Uprisings. Xenobiologists agreed that the slivilith was not a creature that could have evolved on its own, however. Many believed that the ancient Arkanians created them, while other held that the Sith Lords were responsible. In reality, it was later discovered, the slivilith was one of the Yuuzhan Vong's earliest attempts to create a living ship that could travel faster than light, for use in obtaining information on nearby galaxies. The slivilith project was eventually abandoned, but not before many were released into the void. The Hoojibs managed to learn than the slivilith on Arbra had traveled through space for many years before landing on Arbra. This information, when re-analyzed many years later, pointed out the startling fact that the Yuuzhan Vong had been experimenting with inter-galactic travel for more than 4,000 years.

This low, slab-shaped alien race was native to the planet Sljee. Their bodies were surrounded with a number of prehensile tentacles, and olfactory antennae projected from its upper surface. These aliens used their antennae to smell out other lifeforms, since they had no true eyes. As a race, the Sljee had trouble interacting with to the multitude of alien lifeforms in the galaxy, and humans particularly confounded their sense of smell.

They consumed just about anything, from garbage to carrion to industrial wastes, and fed ravenously when hungry. In general, though, slorks were harmless to other species.Because of their diet, slorks possess an intensely noxious scent, making them exempt from the food chain because no other predator could stand to get close to them. Slorks use their noses to sense their environment by "breathing" vibrations, and a slork with an injured nose was essentially blind to their environment. (COG)

Sludgenews
This term originated in the Corporate Sector, and referred to sensationalist journalism and the gathering of news on just about any controversial or inane subject. Much of it revolved around the exploits of holovid stars and sports figures, but also reported on women who claimed to be carrying Emperor Palaptine's children and on the fact the Darth Vader was still alive, just hiding out until he could return to reinstate the Empire. Much of it was blatantly false information meant to stir up more controversy, but the masses bought their newsfeeds with gusto. (SOA)

This was the name given to the species of sludge panther that was native to the planet Dantooine. (SWG2P)

Sludir
A centaurian race native to the planet Sluudren, the Sludirs were a violent, military race with a history of warfare and combat. They have six short, muscular legs supporting a heavy body. Their upper torso had two arms, and their long skulls were marked by a large, tooth-filled mouth. Their skin was naturally thick and dense, providing them a natural armor that they take great pride in. They evolved a primitive, tribal society based on a complex feudal system containing several rigid castes. Each caste had its own codes and rituals, but primary among all of them was the honor of battle. To the Sludir, combat was the surest test of individual power. No Sludir had ever fled from battle. They also have an intense desire to further their families, and the securing of an heir was extremely important. However, the Sludirs' immense strength and unusual appearance made them prime targets for slavers and mercenaries. The Empire did nothing to assist the Sludir, declaring them a legitimate slave race. Thus, many Sludir found off Sluudren were either slaves or criminals until the Battle of Endor. With the demise of the Empire, the Sludir retook control of Sluudren and established a loose form of government made up from crimelords of varying degrees. Many Sludir who returned to their homeworld were dismayed to find this new government, and soon left the planet once again for a better life. (GG12, UANT)

Slumm
A form of spice, this highly-addictive, recreational drug was popular in the Core Worlds during the last decades of the Old Republic. Slumm acted like a stimulant, and was favored by amateur athletes who needed a quick burst of energy when playing sports. The primary side effect of taking slumm was the intense lethargy that came when the drug's effects wore off, plunging the user into a deep state of tiredness. This down time was accompanied by nervous shakes and twitches, further adding to the fatigue felt when the drug was not in their system. (UA)

Slungerhound
This furry mammal, which stood about a half-meter in height, was purchased as a pet by those beings who needed more security. However, these creatures were banned as pets in many Core sectors when it was learned that they attacked their owners as often as they attacked intruders. (SWJ10)

Slushtime
This was the term used by the Gamorreans to describe the spring season on their homeworld of Gamorr. It was named because the climate was usually rainy and dismal, and runoffs of melting snow turn the ground into muddy quagmires. It was during Slushtime that most of the fungi and mold grown on the planet begin to grow, taking hold in the damp ground and dank hollows. Most Gamorrean offspring were born during this season, and most Gamorrean weddings take place at the midpoint of slushtime. The end of slushtime, denoted by the gradual drying out of the mudflats, signals the beginning of wartime, and sparks the raiding of other villages. (SWJ14)

Slusk, Loppak

Before leaving the Star of Empire, Slyder managed to capture the droid A-Cee, and hoped that its memory banks would contain valuable information to sell to the Empire. When they activated the droid, however, it took notice of Nathan Donar's Imperial uniform and self-destructed. Slyder and the Donars were killed in the blast. (SFE)

Slyssk
This timid Trandoshan worked as a pirate and starship thief during the years following the Great Sith War. Slyssk was unusual among his people because he hated to hunt, and became nauseous just thinking about hunting. Slyssk's own mother often remarked that she had no idea how his egg got into her nest. So, he went into business procuring starships for individuals who were willing to pay him to steal them. Slyssk once worked for the Raff Syndicate, until their malicious ways became too much for him to bear, and he took the first opportunity to escape. Slyssk was eventually hired by Marn Hierogryph to steal a ship, and tried to bribe the Snivvian into paying ten times their agreed-upon price. Unknown to Slyssk, Marn's associated, Zayne Carrick, stepped in to help, using the Force to drop a piece of equipment near Slyssk's location. Hierogryph "rescued" the Trandoshan, who immediately named the Snivvian his ghrakhowsk. Slyssk gladly agreed to turn the ship over to Hierogryph, and forced the Snivvian to accept his presence aboard the ship in order to pay off his life-debt.

However, as they blasted away from Ralltiir, Slyssk was forced to reveal that the ship he stole was the Little Bivoli, an Old Republic military provisioning ship. Hierogryph then discovered that Slyssk was an accomplished chef. Putting the two things together, Hierogryph turned the Little Bivoli into an independent fringewagon when they landed on Serroco. Despite the fact that a 40,000-credit bounty had been placed on Slyssk's head, the small restaurant made a lot of credits, enough so that Hierogryph chose to ignore Zayne's warning of an impending Mandalorian attack. Thus, the Little Bivoli was on the ground when the Mandalorian warheads hit the area near the camp. Slyssk then admitted that he had not refueled the ship when he stole it, figuring that they would be able to buy fuel with the credits they earned from the restaurant.

It was believed that anyone who had not lifted off was killed in the explosions, although Slyssk somehow managed to survive and bring word of Zayne's capture to Hierogryph. The Snivvian then contracted the Moomo Brothers to rescue Zayne and his companions, and ordered Slyssk to accompany the Ithorians on the mission, in order to ensure their compliance. Upon reaching Zayne aboard the Arkanian Legacy, Slyssk explained that Hierogryph had taken command of the resistance on Taris, and needed Zayne's help. After the loss of the Arkanian Legacy and the disappearance of the exogorths, Slyssk and the others took Zayne back to Taris aboard the Moomo Williwaw, but were surprised when Zayne and Marn left the planet on the Mar'eyce. The group managed to track Zayne and Marn to Jebble, and arrived just in time to rescue them from the assembled rakghouls that had been created by Celeste Morne. As they blasted away from the planet, they witnessed Cassus Fett's brutal attack on Jebble, which destroyed the rakghoul hordes and rendered the planet a frozen wasteland.

Slyssk continued to work for Marn Hierogryph in the months that followed, although Hierogryph would not actually pay Slyssk because he still owed the Snivvian a life debt. Thus, when Hierogryph ordered Slyssk to acquire a new starship and he returned with the Hot Prospect, Marn put Slyssk to work cleaning out the ship's ancient interior. However, then Marn's plan to swindle the Metellos Exchange fell through, and Jarael and Rohlan Dyre were captured, he asked Slyssk to pose as a representative of the Raff Syndicate. The new plan was to convince Nunk Plaarvin that his bosses had finally tired of his shoddy handling of the Metellos Exchange, and to demand their fair share of the profits. Plaarvin fell for the ruse, and agreed to be taken to the Raff Syndicate base on Jebble. He left the exchange under Cipiter's control, and was taken away by Slyssk and his companions, who left the Chevin on the planet Jebble. After leaving Metellos 3, Slyssk seemed to have gained a new-found confidence, after his part in bringing down Plaarvin's operations, but this changed when the Hot Prospect located the derelict luxury liner Chancellor Fillorean. They boarded the ship, but found only two survivors of a mysterious accident, Toki Tollivar and his assistant droid, K-OB7. Slyssk immediately set to work making a good meal for the Bimm, who claimed to have been hiding in his rooms for weeks. However, before he could being the meal, Slyssk began to experience a crushing pain in his throat, and passed out when he was unable breathe. Jarael found him and called for help, and Zayne and Rohlan used the neck of a glass bottle to perform an emergency tracheotomy.

Rohlan then explained that Slyssk seemed to have suffered from the same malady that had affected the crew and passengers of the Chancellor Fillorean, all of whom seemed to have suffered a crushed larynx. Zayne initially believed that Slyssk had been attacked by K-OB7, but it was later discovered that the attacker had been Toki Tollivar. Despite the fact that he survived, Slyssk seemed to have lost all the confidence he had recently acquired. (KOR4, KOR6, KOR7, KORV, KOR11, KOR12)

Slyte
An alien race. (COJ)

Slyter, Talon
A native of the planet Draethos, this man was a noted expert in the martial art of teras kasi, during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. (HNN5)

Slythmonger
This term was used to describe any being who illegally sold prescription drugs or narcotics for a disbarred physician. (HNN4, CVD)

Slythmonger Chic
This was a term used to describe the style of clothing that was often worn by the slythmongers of Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. Most of the clothing was dark blue or black in color, so that an individual appeared to be a dark shadow. Over the clothing was worn a knee-length overcoat that was also black, and black boots completed the look. (CN1)

Slythor
This Squib was a major crimelord who worked from a base on Korad during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He considered himself the "High Exalted Ruler of Korad,´a position few doubted because no one wanted to live on the junk-covered planet. He traveled about the planet on the Peeve, a pleasure craft created from a salvaged Imperial AT-AT walker. (OE)

Slzzk
This Hutlarian served as Valance's first mate. When the mercenary band attacked Telos-4, it was Slzzk who discovered Don-Wan Kihotay and learned of Luke Skywalker's part in the destruction of the first Death Star. Believing him to be on the planet Aduba-3, Valance and his team set out to destroy Skywalker. After a brief firefight with the Rabbit's Foot in orbit around Aduba-3, Slzzk and the crew traveled to the planet's surface to search the downed ship for Alliance survivors. After Jimm the Starkiller Kid and Jaxxon arranged a stampede of banthas which killed most of Valance's ment, Slzzk was shot by Amaiza. (MC16)

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

Smada
A Hutt gangster, Smada used the planet D'vouran as his base. The small gang wars that erupted on the planet allowed him to take control and rise to power. Smada maintained a group of Gank Killers as bodyguards and enforcers, and once tried to recruit Mammon Hoole into his schemes. He hoped to use the Shi'ido as an assassin, and would do almost anything to acquire Hoole's services. The Shi'ido refused, and Smada then captured Tash and Zak Arranda in an effort to get Hoole's agreement. Still Hoole refused, although he did try to rescue the children. In a struggle near the Heart of D'vouran, Hoole managed to recover the children, while Smada fell into the pit and was consumed by the planet. (GOF1)

Sma'Da, Drawmas
This immense human was known for his ability to predict the outcome of the battles waged during the Galactic Civil War. Through his self-proclaimed Invisible and Ineluctable Casino, he offered the galaxy's richest beings to wager on the outcome of the multitude of confrontations between the Alliance and the Empire. No battle was too small for Sma'Da, who became quite accurate in determining the odds for each side of the battle. He was too good, in the eyes of Emperor Palpatine, who put out a substantial bounty for Sma'Da's capture. In order to avoid being taken, Sma'Da remained in his own home, and only ventured out to the establishment of Salla C'airam, where weapons were not allowed. This didn't deter Zuckuss and 4-LOM, who installed a small power source in the droid's head which took the place of its primary motivator. This meant that the droid would be unable to move once it was removed, but it meant that Zuckuss would be able to get a working blaster inside C'airam's bar. The plan worked to perfection, as Sma'Da was completely unaware of his imminent capture. Zuckuss managed to capture Sma'Da, and obtained a second motivator for 4-Lom from C'airam, before turning in the man for the bounty. After being released from custody, Sma'Da accepted a bet from Manaroo. The wager was based on whether Dengar would survive the mission he and Boba Fett undertook, to discover the plans of Kuat of Kuat. Sma'Da had little faith in Dengar, and took the bet. In the end, Dengar survived, and Sma'Da was forced to pay them a handsome return on Manaroo's original bet. (HM)

Smak telia
This was the Huttese word for "snack." (GMR5)

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

Small Eyes
This was the nickname used by Den Dhur to describe Jax Pavan, when the two first met in Rokko the Hutt's palace on Coruscant, several months after the end of the Clone Wars. (CN1)

Smalyun
This man, a native of the planet Aargau, served as a Captain for Bank of Aargau Security, Limited, during the height of the New Order. He eventually replaced Captain Ryyts, although his new subordinates failed to find a way to respect him. He was continually making excuses for his own actions and miseducation, covering up by asking his officers to brief him on "the latest technology." (PH)

S'man, H.
This Alliance Commander was serving on the Independence, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Commander S'man was easily distinguished by his large body, standing almost seven feet tall and weighing nearly 300 pounds. His imposing size helped him gain a measure of control over the young starfighter pilot recruits that made their way to the Independence, such as Keyan Farlander. However, his size kept him from following his dream of being a starfighter pilot, forcing him to put his tactical and planning skills to use as a mission commander. (XW, XWP)

Smapp
This avian creature was raised for its succulent meat. (OWS)

Smarck
This wilderness planet was the home of Black Sun's operations, during the era of the New Republic followed the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. (CE2)

Smart Mine
This was a generic term used to describe any explosive mine that could track a target. Instead of lying on the ground or being attached to a specific location, smart mines could lock onto a specific target, most often by heat signature or emissions analysis. The smart mines then followed the target until they were close enough to explode. Some deviant crimelords employed smart mines that could communicate with their target, offering false reassurances while getting closer and closer to the point at which they were to explode. (CWA8)

Smart Orphan
This slang term was used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe an orphaned rebel agent who carried no valuable information. (GG9)

Smarteel
Cabrool Nuum had a base here, before Jabba the Hutt killed him. (JTH)

Smartrope
A strong cord tipped with a heat-seeking device, it was very useful for ensnaring prey or an opponent. Boba Fett's Mandalorian armor had at least one installed, which he used to try and hold Luke during Luke's escape from Jabba the Hutt and the Pit of Carkoon. (E6, HTTE)

Smartvac
This was a generic term used to describe a specialized vacuum-cleaning droid developed during the last decades of the Old Republic. (YDR)

This sport was popularlized during the last century of the Old Republic, and continued to maintain a large following during the New Order and into the era of the New Republic. It involved twenty-five players wearing skates, all of whom carried thick mallets that were used to strike the ball and sent it toward a goal. (COJ, HNN4, GMR1, LF8)

Smashbone Fever
This disease caused the ligaments in a being's body to tear violently, literally smashing the bones when they ruptured. The disease was believed to be caused by a microorganism that was neither bacteria nor virus, and was considered about fifty percent fatal even when treated with muscle relaxants. Although there was no known cure for smashbone fever, it sometimes went into remission, only to reappear later in life. (MJH)

Smasher
Developed by Locris Syndicates, this was a form of personal protection armor made for private security forces. Modified versions were also used by bounty hunters. (GUN)

Smath, Sodilayno
An employee of TransGalMeg Industries, this small, dark-skinned human operated the souvenir shop located in Narg Starport. Smath was rude and loud, but he didn't make his living selling trinkets. Instead, he was the primary source of information and black market goods at the starport, and the bluster he expresses was more of a cover. Despite his high prices, Smath's information was quite often reliable. (TA)

Smazzo
This type music, punctuated by its percussion, was popular during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SHPT)

Smeberellich
A Twi'lek deity. (JTH)

Smekt
This female Noghri worked as a clerk for Hyperspeed Express at their base on Wayland, during the years following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. She was a very demanding representative, and was always suspicious of Imperial spies trying to break into company records. When Dal Konur arrived on Wayland to search for a lightsaber, he used the Force to cloud Smekt's mind, making her believe he was actually the Jedi Knight Streen. He then arranged for several shipments to be transported to Bilbringi, where he planned to steal a ship and travel to Bastion. (WOA29)

Smelly
This was a slang term used by Alliance Intelligence operatives to describe Imperial security personnel. (RASB)

A tall, gaunt man who was overly insulting to the independent spacers he detained, Smethwile often overlooked spacing infractions while berating a freighter's crew. (SWJ5)

Smiff, Relan
This man was a noted herpetologist who investigated the evolution of giant, fanned rawls on the planet Naboo, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWGAL)

Smiler
This was the term used to describe any individual who had become affected by the herb savorium. They were described as the only truly contented individuals in the galaxy. A smiler was characterized by a totally accommodating nature, and would do anything for anyone. For this reason, they were prime targets for slave labor, since they would work until they were exhausted and worked for free. (DRO, TGD)

Smileredon-Verdont
Known as Smiley, this annoying Squib had a vastly enlarged view of his position in life. Despite the fact that he was traded at age seven for a mining borelifter, and spent much of his life as a drifter in the Minos Cluster, he would gladly tell you that he was raised on the Wholesale and trained in the Mystic Martial Arts of Squib Combats and Transactions. Distinguished by his Squibbish accent, Smiley was briefly employed on a freighter in the Minos Cluster, and claimed that he and his partner tamed with wild forests of Yelsain by themselves. During the early stages of the Galactic Civil War, Smiley was known as a pickpocket and thief, and he often worked with Raal Yorta and Sammie Staable. (HR, RR, RNTB)

Smiley
A nickname used to describe Klorr Vilia, after he had become affected by his own creation, savorium. He was kept impounded by Master Zorneth, who was one of the few who knew the secret of savorium because he was present when Vilia first ingested savorium. Smiley was kidnapped by the Dictator-Forever Craw, who wanted to have the secret of savorium for his own evil uses. Smiley was rescued by R2-D2 and C-3PO, with the help of Shay and the Revoltists, but later perished when Zorneth's starship self-destructed while under attack by Craw's forces. (DRO)

Smiley
This was the name used by Mace Windu to describe Nick Rostu, before they were properly introduced. (SHPT)

Smiley
see Smileredon-Verdont (RR)

Smith, Gideon
This boisterous, independent prospector spent much of his career working the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt. He and his partner, Sidney Shortfang, took a great deal of work with the Tredway family on 24 Tredway. When they learned that Erling Tredway had been captured by Imperial Governor Parnell and imprisoned on Tol Ado, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, they enlisted the help of Luke Skywalker in rescuing him. They learned that Erling's sister, Dena, had been sent to 24 Tredway to convince Erling to stop his rebellious activity in the Belt, but found Dena had been injured in Parnell's attack on 24 Tredway. They brought Dean to Ire Eleazari, then returned to Tol Ado to rescue Erling. However, in their initial flight from the Deathblock, Gideon was bounced from their boss-buggy while they were being chased by Imperial forces. Gideon went down shooting, but was quickly cut down by Imperial stormtroopers. His death meant a great deal to Luke, and he sadly remembered Gideon's contributions when he returned to Yavin 4. (JH)

Smitken
This man was the Port Import Inspector at the Drepplin starport, during the early years of the New Republic. (POC)

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

Smoke Demon
Summoned from the very essence of The Force, this creature existed as a deadly plume of smoke until it could feed on living tissue. When it captured a living being, the smoke demon first paralyzed it, then insinuated its smoky form into the physical body of its prey. The smoke demon then sucked every bit of living essence from the body, leaving nothing behind. As it fed, the smoke demon became more substantial. As it grew stronger, the only way to kill a smoke demon was with the Force itself. When a smoke demon died, the souls of its victims - which had been trapped inside it - were finally freed. (LTA1)

Smoke Moth
This small, flying insect was once native to the planet Nal Hutta. (NEGV)

Smoker
This as the Basic translation of the Keshiri word that was used to describe a volcano. (LTS2)

Smoker
This was the term used by the Muuns to describe the small volcanoes that regularly emerged from the shallow seas of the homeworld of Muunlinst. These volcanoes were the sources of much of the Muuns' wealth, since they regularly brought valuable ores from the mantle of the planet up through the crust, depositing them in the cones of the cooling magma vents. (GORW)

Smoking Blaster
This smuggling ship was once employed by Nilya Fek'ra to transport security droid logic matrices to the rebels on Cotellier, during the Galactic Civil War. The ship's computer memory also held information on Yosger's operations, which resulted in Yosger's pirates attacking and waylaying the ship en route to Cotellier. The Smoking Blaster was a modified Loronar medium transport ship, measuring 75 meters in length and armed with four twin laser cannons. The ship had been in service for 50 years prior to the Battle of Endor, although its owners were heavily in debt to Yosger for the ship. (GMH)

Smoking Forest
This was a region of tree-like rock formations that was found on the surface of the planet Mustafar. (SWGAL)

Smoking Jets

Smoothskin
This was the Basic translation of a derogatory term used by the Zabrak race to describe a human. (SWI83)

Smootie
This elderly, alien criminal was incarcerated at the Oovo IV prison facility during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Smootie was once good friends with Jango Fett, and served as Fett's primary source of inside information for many years. Smootie later provided Fett with information on the Bando Gora cult, when Fett returned to Oovo IV to break Bendix Fust out of prison. He related the story of another bounty hunter who had tried to locate the Bando Gora, but returned in a state of shaking fear and without any memory of where he had gone. (BH)

Smoppy
A putty-like substance used by the Twi-leki. (JTH)

Smotl
This alien race was characterized by its blue-green skin. (APS)

SM-series Droid
This form of automaton was developed by the New Republic and used as scavengers at battle sites. As directed by Operation Flotsam and the Historic Battle Site Preservation Act, these droids were used to recover any physical evidence from a battle site, for investigation by the New Republic Intelligence agency, prior to release for public viewing. These droids were often accompanied by DA-series analysis droids. (CTD)

Smugglers' Alliance
This was the name given to the loose alliance of smuggling kingpins, who joined together in an effort to work with the New Republic, rather than try to operate below its radar. In the years following Grand Admiral Thrawn's defeat, the Smugglers' Alliance was formed as a tenuous collaboration between the galaxy's best smugglers. It was later consolidated into a formal alliance, which agreed to assist the New Republic in any way possible. Ships of the Smugglers' Alliance were denoted with a simple cross-hatched design, making their allegiance obvious, yet not glaringly so. Mara Jade served as the liaison between the Republic and the Alliance for many years, before marrying Luke Skywalker and training at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Smugglers' Alliance maintained a low profile, as many of its members turned to more legitimate activities such as running supplies and weapons to worlds that had been ravaged by the alien invaders. With the surrender of the Yuuzhan Vong at Coruscant some five years after the invasion began, the leaders of the Smugglers' Alliance decide that it was time to disband the alliance. Many of the goods they had been providing to the galaxy - chief among them the various forms of spice - had been in short supply during the war, and most beings had been forced to confront their addictions and overcome them. This meant that there was a very small market for these illegal goods. Thus, the members of the alliance set off to help the galaxy rebuild itself. (COTF, UF)

Smuggler's Bar
This seedy cantina was located on Nar Shaddaa, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (DF2P)

Smuggler's Click
This was the name given to a gunfighting tactic that was used by smugglers across the galaxy. This technique was used whenever a smuggler's blaster ran low on power, and involved pulling ever-so-slightly on the trigger of a blaster, in a series of double beats, so that the trigger never fully engaged the firing mechanism. This created a series of clicks that made it sound like the blaster lacked sufficient power to fire again. The smuggler, however, knew that there were a couple of shot still left in the weapon's power pack, and could hold them until a better opportunity presented itself. (LSSM)

Smuggler's Code
According to Han Solo, this was the set of rules by which smugglers worked together, regardless of race, creed, religion, or any other delineating factor. He invoked the Smuggler's Code most often with young, inexperienced smugglers, who were often unaware that there was, in fact, no such thing as a Smuggler's Code. (DN1)

Smuggler's Confederation
This loose alliance was formed in the Cularin System, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. They were the chief rivals to the power of Riboga the Hutt, having organized themselves into a loose guild in order to gain a measure of respect and power in the system. Over time, Riboga made a deal with the Confederation which brought the organization into Riboga's operations. The day-to-day operations of the Confederacy were unchanged, and many smugglers actually welcomed the leadership Riboga brought to the group. (LFC)

Smuggler's Creed
This was a loosely-maintained set of laws and ethics that were passed down by the smugglers of the galaxy, from generation to generation. The Smuggler's Creed was not a single motto or statement, but a collection of writings and litanies that could be applied to almost any situation in which a smuggler found themselves. Among these writings was the Combat Litany, which described the unspoken rules for getting into and out of a fight. (LSSM)

Smuggler's Delight
This was a form of dessert that was created by many smugglers, and basically consisted of mixing whatever leftover desserts were available into a single dish. (SWG2P)

Smuggler's Fade
This was the name used by smugglers to describe an evasion tactic in which a wanted individual was cornered in a room or building, but hid behind a false wall or inside a compartment, thereby "fading" into the background and avoiding notice. (TG)

Smuggler's Hideaway
This bar and restaurant was located on Nar Shaddaa, during the height of the New Order. (THG)

Smuggler's Kit
This small, black-box device was attached to a starship's hyperdrive and identification transponder. It changes the starship's identification codes and registry information each time the ship jumps into hyperspace. (SOL)

Smugglers' Moon
This was a common nickname used to describe the moon Nar Shaddaa. (TFNR, MF)

Smuggler's Pie
This meal, which was basically a careful combination of left-overs, derived from the basic smuggler's dinner which consisted of whatever was available when the smuggler was hungry. (TNR)

Smuggler's Rest
This tavern was located on Nar Shaddaa. It had rooms available for rent, and was generally described as sleazy. Bria Tharen stayed here, while planning the Alliance's attack on Ylesia. (RD)

Smuggler's Reverse
A starship maneuver in which a ship under attack suddenly stops and swings around 180 degrees to face its attackers. (VOF)

Smuggler's Run
This collection of asteroids was located in the edge of Wild Space, near the planets Wrea and Ryloth, and was once controlled by the Hutts. It served as a base of operations for many smugglers who couldn't afford the relative luxury of havens like Nar Shaddaa. The Smuggler's Run had been in use for several centuries, and had remained unchecked due to its hazardous entrance through the asteroids. Several asteroids have been hollowed out or riddled with caverns to support life, and have been nicknamed Skips. The Skips were numbered in the order in which they were inhabited. A few minor crimelords developed personal empires within certain asteroids, but their influence rarely extended beyond a single rock. After the deaths of Jabba the Hutt and Emperor Palpatine, the Run became freed of Hutt control and began to operate on its own. During this time, the failed Jedi Dolph found an ally in the crimelord Nandreeson, and together they began shipping Dolph's rigged droids through the Run to points on Coruscant and other New Republic worlds. Many smugglers took jobs working for Nandreeson and Dolph, but many of them suddenly disappeared when they got too involved. (TNR, SWI89)

Smuggler's Run
This was the name given to the hyperspace and sublight pathways leading to and from the Ni'lyahin Smugglers' base in the Ferrous Aurora Nebula, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Smuggler's Scuttlebutt
This galaxy-wide newsnet sprang up during the New Order, and was created to provide smugglers and independent spacers with relevant information on various sectors of the galaxy. Rather than provide information on legitimate spacing opportunities, the Smuggler's Scuttlebutt detailed the current underworld situation in a given location. (FBS)

Smugglers' Strip
This chain of mountains ran down the center of Elrood's largest continent, separating Elrooden from Dinbar. Originally founded by Lud Chud as an isolated landing strip, this area was allowed to remain operative by Elrood Starport Command only through Lud Chud's careful management. Only a few ships were allowed to land at the Smugglers' Strip each day, in order to maintain traffic through the main starport. (PG3)

Smuggler's Turn
Originally attributed to smugglers who plied the spacelanes, this maneuver involved turning a vehicle on its axis with a quick burst of speed and a hard crank on the steering vane. The vehicle would then spin end-for-end, enabling the pilot to quickly reverse course. The maneuver was much easier to accomplish with a landspeeder, but skilled pilots could do it in a small starship. (HSL)

Smuggling Contingent
This guild of smugglers and smuggling operations was formed during the final years of the Great Galactic War, after the Sith Empire began choking off trade routes between the Core Worlds and the planets of the Mid and Outer Rims. Planets on both sides of these blockades suffered greatly, and Hylo Visz saw a chance to make some credits from the Republic while opening the trade routes to allow for continued commerce. She gathered together the Smuggling Contingent and accepted volunteers to help smash the blockade, and then set off to carry out her plans. Although the Smuggling Contingent was badly outgunned by the Mandalorians, they had surprise on their side, and nearby Republic fleets were able to scramble to support the smugglers in defeating the Mandalorians. (SWORW)

Smuggling Guilds
The unofficial title used by the various groups who were running smuggling operations from Nar Shaddaa. (DE1)

Smuggling Interdiction Division
This was a branch of the Corellian Defense Force, charged with monitoring and apprehending smugglers who used Corellia as their base. Corran Horn joined this division after his mother, Nyche, was killed in a speeder accident. It was during this time that he first met Iella Wessiri. (NEGC)

Smythers
This Imperial Lieutenant served under Captain Alijah Orr in the Mestra System. He constantly hounded and bullied Renea Luies, especially after Orr began his personal against smugglers. Smythers hoped to get promoted by quickly and energetically carrying out Orr's orders. He tried to catch Shamus Falconi smuggling weapons, but was unable to do so successfully. (SWJ9)

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

Snake-bird
This was a species of long-bodied, avian creatures that was native to the jungles of the planet Tenupe. (DN3)

Snap Baton
This weapon appears to be a short, stocky cylinder when not in use. However, it can be snapped open with a flick of the wrist, extending the shaft into a meter-long club. The snap baton was used by law enforcement agencies which were limited in their use of laser weapons. (ROE)

Snap Bug
Related to the blast bug used by the Yuuzhan Vong, the snap bug was a much smaller creature, although it exploded in much the same way as a blast bug did. Instead of causing physical damage, however, snap bugs produced a blinding flash of light which disoriented an individual long enough for a Yuuzhan Vong warrior to launch and attack. In low light situations, snap bugs could also provide a spark of illumination. (GMR8)

Snap Roll
This was a starfighter maneuver in which a pilot turned their ship sharply away from its location in space, often to avoid enemy fire. (SSOG)

Snapit, Torr
This ancient, gray-skinned man was a scout for the Jedi Knights, searching the galaxy for Force-sensitive individuals in preparation for the struggle against the Brotherhood of Darkness. It was Snapit who discovered Rain, Tomcat and Bug on the planet Somov Rit, and he arranged for the the children to be transferred to Ruusan. Upon arrival, however, their ship was set upon by Sith starfighters, and only Snapit, Bug, and Tomcat were believed to have survived the crash-landing. The youths were impatient with Snapit's lack of action, and were amazed when the elderly Jedi did not draw his own lightsaber in a struggle against a team of Sith scouts. Nevertheless, Snapit managed to defeat the Sith, and believed that he had finally taught the boys a lesson about what it meant to be a Jedi. As they fled the Sith warriors, however, Snapit was forced to sacrifice himself to save the boys. After the boys crossed a narrow bridge, Snapit lured the Sith onto the bridge before cleaving it in two with his lightsaber. Snapit and the Sith fell to their deaths. Tomcat tried to find Snapit, but only to take his lightsaber. (JVS, DBPD)

Snaplaunce
This local policeman was a large, eight-foot-tall Ithorian which had relocated to the planet Nam Chorios. Snaplaunce worked with the human Grupp in maintaining the peace of Hweg Shul. He believed that Beldorian was nothing but a Hutt crime-boss. It was Grupp and Snaplaunce that intercepted Luke Skywalker and removed him from the rocks and spears of the Oldtimers that attacked him near Taselda's house. Snaplaunce provided Luke with information on Callista's travels through the city. (POT)

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

Sneaker
This R9-series astromech droid was assigned to Jaina Solo's StealthX starfighter, when she resigned her commission with Rogue Squadron and became a pilot for the new Jedi Order. Sneaker replaced the droid known as Sneaky, after Sneaky was destroyed when Jaina was shot down over Tenupe during the Swarm War. Sneaker was later destroyed on Terephon, when Jaina and Zekk traveled to Terephon to question the Ducha Galney about an assassination attempt on the life of the Queen Mother, Tenel Ka. Rather than have the Jedi discovered her part in the attempt, Ducha Galney chose to bomb them Villa Solis, her residence on Terephon. In the chaos that ensued, Sneaker was destroyed when Jaina's StealthX was blown up by a remote-launched missile. (LF3)

Sneaky
This was the nickname used by Jaina Solo to describe the R9-series astromech droid that was assigned to her StealthX fighter, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Sneaky was badly damaged several years after the end of the Yuuzhan Vong, when Jaina was shot down over Tenupe by Jagged Fel, at the height of the Swarm War. Jaina, her ship, and Sneaky were all eventually recovered, and Sneaky was rebuilt for active duty. This duty came just a few years later, when Jaina's brother, Jacen, assumed the title of Darth Caedus and took control of the Galactic Alliance. Jaina was driven to bring her brother to justice, and their final showdown was to occur in the Transitory Mists, near the area of space known as The Throat. Jaina and Zekk used their StealthX fighters to get close to Jacen's flagship, the Anakin Solo, in an attempt to launch a payload full of shadow bombs at the ship. Once the Anakin Solo's gunners realized they were under attack, they opened fire on the two fighters, and Sneaky was blasted by one of the many laser strikes. (DN1, LF3, LF9)

Sneel, Jarred
This man, a native of the Corellian System, was a noted droid rights protester during the height of the New Order. Not much was known about Sneel, except for the fact that he was obsessed with automata of every kind and the preservation of their rights. He was also the leader of the fanatical group known as the Mechanical Liberation Front. Many law enforcement agencies believed that Sneel and the MLF were actually front groups for Black Sun, but this was never proven. (FTD)

Sneerzick, Xalto
This human was the son of a brilliant droid designer. His early years were filled with loneliness broken only by the company of droids, which Xalto came to love as his real family. As he grew, Xalto started to believe that all droids were at least somewhat sentient, and deserved to be treated as equals to organic lifeforms. Xalto's education followed his father's footsteps, and he became a genius in droid mechanics. His behavior turned fanatical and irrational in his later years, and a tattoo of a cog and a lightning bolt on his right hand signifies his complete devotion to freeing all droids throughout the galaxy. He founded the Droid Abolitionist Movement, and a small team of confederates gathered around him, including Babalabbet Swoont, Zoonia Tantra, and a blue droid known as G-3PO. A loud and fiery speaker, Xalto was highly charismatic. When he discovered that Cosmohaul Shipping was transporting large numbers of droids, he and his followers began pirating Cosmohaul ships. He and his team infiltrated Cosmohaul's crew pool, and managed to gain access to the Argent Lady and its cargo of R5 droids. Xalto added his "emancipation virus" to the droids, and hoped to set them free. However, his droids' programming caused the droids to rebel even against him. His group on the Argent Lady was tracked and killed by the R5 droids before a group of freelance mercenaries could stop them. (SWJ9)

Sneeve
This planet, located in the Kastolar Sector of the Expansion Region, was the homeworld of the Sneevel race. Sneeve was one of the first ten planets to join the Refugee Resettlement Coalition, shortly before the Clone Wars. Note that the galaxy map inside Star Wars Insider, issue 65, places Sneeve in the Mid Rim, between Tholatin and Chalacta. (IWE1, HNN5, SWI65)

Sneevel
An alien race, the Sneevel were native to the planet Sneeve. Roughly humanoid in stature, Sneevels stood nearly two meters tall and had a square jaw set below an upturned nose. They were first discovered by Duros explorers some 14,000 years before the Battle of Endor, and had already achieved a high level of technology at that time. After being given the gift of hyperdrive technology by Duros and human spacers, the Sneevels began exploring the galaxy for themselves. They were known as excellent scouts and explorers. (IG1, IWE1, ANT)

Sneeze
This unpredictable young man was a member of the Friends of Paran resistance group on Derilyn, during the height of the Galactic Civil War.

Sniffer
This man served as one of Leia Organa-Solo's bodyguards, during the era of the Black Fleet Crisis. He was given the nickname Sniffer because his job was to preceed Leia wherever she went. He carried a backpack filled with various electrical and chemical sensors to detect threats to Leia before she encountered them. (BTS)

Sniffer
This was the name of BlasTech's portable weapons detector, consisting of a cube-shaped, handheld scanner. The screen on one side of the cube provided information on the materials that passed near it, requiring a sklled technician to interpret the data and determine if a weapon was present. The Sniffer was produced during the early years of the New Order. (CSA)

This customs officer worked in the city of Lay Pa-Sidian, on the planet G'wenee. Snil was targetted by Grappa the Hutt for weaseling out of a bribe the crimelord had paid him, stealing from him, and generally interferring with Grappa's business. After Zee Ethda failed to capture him, Grappa sent Kil Kenix, unaware that Kenix was really Kir Kanos. Kenix quickly dispatched Snil's bodyguards, and easily took Snil into custody. Snil was then transported to Genon, and was given to the Zanibar for one of their blood-sacrifices. (CE2)

Snillik
This thick liqueur that Lando Calrissian often ordered when a sabacc match required alcoholic consumption. He chose snillik because it tasted awful, which forced him to sip it slowly. It was produced somewhere in the Core Systems. (LCF)

Sninif, Cith
This was one of the New Republic agents who was injured by Talak, during the theft of meleenium from the Qua'Tahc mines by Rani Quanic and Ostan Atur. (SWJ10)

Sniper
This was the name of an Imperial attack craft developed in the wake of the Battle of Endor. A cross between a swoop and an airspeeder, the Sniper was a fast, maneuverable repulsorcraft that was protected by heavy weaponry that included a twin blaster cannon, a twin medium blaster cannon, and a concussion missile launcher. These curve-winged vehicles could attain speeds of 600 kilometers an hour, mainly because the designers installed an immense ion afterburner just behind the cockpit. This enhanced drive system gave the Sniper a characteristic whine whenever it flew into battle.

Despite its speed and maneuverability, the Sniper speeder was considered as disposable as the TIE Fighter. These vehicles were lightly armored, making them susceptible to even small-arms fire. The lone pilot was responsible for flying the Sniper and firing its weapons, and lacked any real protection, other than his or her flight suit. The pilot was strapped into their seat just in front of the ion afterburner, and controlled the vehicle's systems with assistance from a computer-linked heads-up display inside their helmet. (GAL2, OWS)

Sniper Droid
This was a modified version of the destroyer droid that was part of the armed forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the era of the Clone Wars. In addition to the normal armament of a destroyer droid, the sniper droid was armed with a single, long-range blaster cannon where its "head" should be. This weapon could be fired at targets from a hidden location, and sophisticated targetting routines allowed the sniper droid to identify and fire upon target at great distances. (TCW1)

Snips
This was Anakin Skywalker's nickname for his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano. Anakin chose this nickname after Tano had spoken to him in a snippy tone. (CWN, CWVG)

Sniquux
This Rodian was one of the mercenaries employed by Jabba the Hutt to infiltrate Ylesia just prior to the Alliance's assault on the planet. Sniquux was sent to Colony Nine to make sure that the t'landa Til working to get the colony operational never succeeded. Just before the Battle of Ylesia, Sniquux laid several traps of monofilament wire and portable speakers. From the speakers, he sounded the call of a thota, and stampeded the t'landa Til. The huge beasts panicked, running into the monofilament fibers and shredding themselves to ribbons. (RD)

Snit
Droopy McCool's "real" name, Snit was actually the given to the Kitonak by the beings who enslaved him as a youth. He resented the name Snit, but his actual name - a whistled sequence of notes - was unpronounceable in Basic. When Sy Snootles decided to call him Droopy McCool, Snit gladly shed his slave-name, although he maintained a deep connection to his birthname. (TJP, SWI67)

Snitch
This was a nickname, used in the spaceport town of Mos Eisley to describe Garindan. (CHRN)

Snitchly Gritch
This was the codename of a criminal informant who had a number of contacts within the Black Sun organization, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (WOTC)

Snitkin, Pote
This Skrilling fled the Corporate Sector after being implicated in industrial espionage, during the early years of the New Order. Pote Snitkin was later hired by Bib Fortuna as a skiff pilot, working as part of the labor pool maintained by Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine. Pote Snitkin later became one of Jabba the Hutt's primary weapons suppliers, but he was relegated to skiff pilot when Hermi Odle showed up. Snitkin was allowed to pilot one of the escort skiffs whenever Jabba traveled to the Pit of Carkoon for an execution. However, he perished when Jabba's sail barge exploded near the Pit of Carkoon, when Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa rescued Han Solo, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (E6, GG12, CCG7, SWDB, SWI98)

Snit-spore
A snack food favored by the Squib, Mace Windu. (SWJ11)

Snitworm
A noxious slug. (JTH)

Snivas, Jerik
A native of Lianna, this greasy-haired man served as an investigator for the Imperial Office of Criminal Investigations for many years. His successes, both in the field and in in the bureaucracy, earned him a posting as an officer in the Kwenn Station IOCI facility. However, several shady deals caught up with him, and he quit the IOCI in order to avoid being investigated himself. He remained on Kwenn Station, brokering information to the highest bidder. He also expedited the postings of bounties, matching them to specific hunters in order to minimize the paperwork a hunter was required to do in order to take on a bounty. It was later learned that Snivas had been working for Tern Ashandrik, sending less-qualified hunters to Seregar in order to help maintain Ashandrik's freedom. (ND)

Snivgold
This was an Ansionian swear word, used to describe another individual. (APS)

Snivgold
This was an Ansionian swear word, used to describe another individual in a rude way. (APS)

Snivvian
An alien race native to the planet Cadomai, the Snivvians were short-statured humanoids with protruding lower jaws studded with short fangs and tusks. Their toothy maws have earned them the nickname "Snaggletooth." Their physiology was indicative of their environment, although it was somewhat unusual. The harsh, frigid conditions on Cadomai have given them thick skin instead of heavy fur. This skin was formed of special membranes that open and close pores to regulate heat loss, in response to temperature differences. Snivvians don't sweat, since their skin doesn't exude moisture. They also don't suffer from frostbite. The adaptations of the Snivvians to their enviroment makes them excellent scouts and trackers. They have evolved a high level of genetic technology, a result of their intense desire to breed out undesirable characteristics. The Snivvian biology produces two offspring at every birth. Normally, the birth results in one male and one female child. However, a flaw in their genetics - the so-called Blood Code - produces twin males once every several million births. Only 200 such births have been recorded in Snivvian history, but all have led to trouble. The flaw reveals itself in one of the male twins, and ususally causes the male to become emotionally unstable. It mutates the male throughout his lifetime, resulting in an sociopathic individual capable of destroying Snivvian civilization. Thus, the Snivvians strove to discover the possibility of twin males and what causes one male to be flawed. However, this genetic technology had given them a false sense of security, and their strength as a race led them to become enslaved by the Thalassians several centuries before the Galactic Civil War. They were rescued by the Old Republic, which helped introduce them to hyperspace travel. This continued travel through hyperspace had somehow caused genetic changes in the Snivvians, and the possibility of male twins was on the rise. As a race, they have begun to recede, desparately trying to prevent the birth of unstable male twins. Rumors of a Snivvian destroyer began to circulate just before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, and many Snivvians feared that this evil being had allied itself with the Yuuzhan Vong. (GG12, CCG7, UANT)

Snivvian
This was the native language of the Snivvian race. (HNN5)

Sno
This Shyriiwook word was used as the prefix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "curious" or "quick", and could be combined with one or more suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)

Snogar
This species of creatures inhabit the ice world of Ota, where they were constantly repairing their heating machines to stay warm. These shaggy humanoids were a primitive race that have devolved from a highly-technological race. These ancient ancestors were known among the Snogars as the Old Ones, and supposedly developed the heating machines. The Snogars barely survived life on Ota. Sometime follwoing the Battle of Yavin, they were able to capture Luke Skywalker and Boba Fett, and demanded that the two fix their machinery. The two escaped, but returned to the Snogar city to rescue Han Solo. In the ensuing battle, the Mole appeared and pinned Fett to a wall with a magnet while the others escaped from the Snogars. (CSWEA, EGC)

Snogrutt
This Gamorrean developed the large, ultrasonically-enhanced axes used by Jabba the Hutt's guards. (CCG7)

Snoigit
This was a swear word used by the Talz. (SWEIA)

Snoil, Doolb
This Vippit, a native of the planet Nal Hutta, was one of the finest legal minds of the Old Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. He came from a long line of noted neogotiators and barristers, and it was his grandfather who negotiated a series of tax-free benefits for the Vippits from the Old Republic itself. Originally educated and trained on Mrlsst, Snoil apprenticed with a major firm in the Gevarno Cluster before joining the ranks of the barristers from the Coruscant College of Law, which worked for the Old Republic. He developed a reputation for exhaustively researching his clients and their situations, and became one of the most reliable barristers of his generation. Snoil was among the handful of barristers who were able to mediate a decision on Rijel-12 some ten years before the onset of the Clone Wars, in the midst of extremely sensitive negotiations. Snoil might have died in the rioting that occurredon Rijel-12, if he hadn't been rescued by Obi-Wan Kenobi. After the mission to Rijel-12, the two became fast friends, although Snoil maintained that he must someday repay Obi-Wan for saving his life. Some two years after the Battle of Geonosis, they were again paired on a mission, this time to uncover the truth behind the JK-series droids being produced on Ord Cestus. It was nearing Snoil's Time to reproduce, but he was unable to return to Nal Hutta without first repaying Obi-Wan. It was through Snoil's diligent investigation that the Jedi discovered Cestus Cybernetics had actually purchased land on Cestus with synthstones, which were essentially worthless. Although this information proved valuable, the Jedi plan to fool the Five Families into siding with the Republic was smashed by Asajj Ventress. When the mission was scrubbed, Snoil and the clone trooper known as Xutoo were the only ones to actually leave Ord Cestus. Unfortunately, their ship was sabotaged. Xutoo kept it flying long enough for Snoil to jettison in an escape pod before the ship exploded. Snoil was rescued by Obi-Wan and the soldiers of Desert Wind, but the terrorists soon discovered that their secret location had been discovered. A group of plastidroids and JK-series combat droids infilitrated their base, and attacked with a vengeance. Snoil took up arms against the droid attackers, bracing a portable cannon on his shell and firing at anything near him. Unfortunately, during one of the blasts from the cannon, a stalactite was cracked from its base and fell to the ground, piercing Snoil's shell. Snoil died in Obi-Wan's arms, after making the Jedi promise to forward any combat bonuses to his family - tax-free, of course. (TCD)

Snootles, Sy
A Pa'lowick singer with a long snout and skinny legs, Sy Snootles was known as one of the best jizz-wailers in the galaxy when she was employed by Evar Orbus. She disliked Orbus' brusque style, but knew that he was an excellent singer and musician. When Orbus was killed on Tatooine just prior to the Battle of Yavin, she suggested to her band-mates that they continue as a trio. She helped rename the Kitonak Snit, giving him the name Droopy McCool, and allowed Max Rebo to become the leader of the band. However, when Max agreed to play for Jabba the Hutt in return for all the food he could eat, she became angry. After arriving at Jabba's palace, Sy was approached by a number of parties to act as a spy against Jabba. She agreed to work for Lady Valarian, but was continually fed false information by Bib Fortuna. When Jabba was killed near the Sarlacc pit, Sy and the band jumped off the sail barge before it was destroyed, and fled into the desert. Following the death of Jabba and the disappearance of Droopy, Sy and Max decided to play for Lady Valarian as the Max Rebo Duo. Their partnership didn't last long, as Sy struck out on her own. However, her career quickly floundered, and she was reduced to touring backwater planets under a number of aliases. Working as Lips Teenek, she was approached by Quilsen and offered her first taste of phetaril spice. She quickly became addicted, and spent much of the rest of her life in a drug-induced stupor. (E6, TJP, CCG9, SWI67)

Snoova
This infamous bounty hunter was a Wookiee. He learned the trade while we was indentured to Asteria, but eventually earned his freedom. Snoova kept the fur on top of his head cut in a spacer's flat-top, with the hair on the sides and back of his head pulled into a long ponytail. Snoova was captured by the Twi'leki crimelord Lonay, as part of Prince Xizor's plans to capture Luke Skywalker and discredit Darth Vader. Chewbacca pretended to be Snoova when he and Leia Organa infiltrated Coruscant to meet with Prince Xizor. (SE)

Snopps, Zafiel
This Imperial governor once presided over the Corluag House of Citizens, ensuring that the planet remained under Imperial control during the height of the New Order. Before this, Snopps was a Senator to the Old Republic. During the Clone Wars, Snopps was elected to the position of Governor, and barely survived a Separatist attack on the Legislative Hall in Curamelle. At the height of the New Order, Governor Snopps was second only to Moff Jamson Caglio in controlling the Bormea Sector of the galaxy. (SESB, SWJ1, SWJ7, SWJ12, WOTC, GCG)

Snopps III, Regenald Hanniper
This man was the youngest son of Zafiel Snopps, but was nothing like his father. Regenald failed to gain entry to the Imperial Academy, despite some string-pulling by his father, and he lacked the focus needed to be a true officer. He believed himself to be the most important person in the galaxy, and was known to be paranoid about his delusions of grandeur. He spent much of his time trying to entertain himself, often gambling on luxurious worlds like Spira, threatening to call in his father's Imperial forces wheneer things didn't go his way, in order to reassure himself of his own importance. (SWJ1)

Snorbal

Snoruuk
This mobile mushroom was found in the forests of the planet Gamorr. They grew in rings of up to 30 individual plants, and each plant had a "foot" that it uses to cross the forest floor. The Gamorreans discovered that, if you have enough patience, the snoruuk could be herded like other creatures by tapping on their caps. The ring moved away from the vibration. The snoruuk was a staple food of the Gamorreans, although the spores of the mushroom were known to cause fatigue and exhaustion if breathed by most other races. Gamorrean chefs were known for the rich gravy that they created using snoruuk mushrooms. (SWJ10, GCG, OWS)

Snot Garlic
This unusual form of bulb vegetable was favored by Anzati chefs. Snot garlic grew in small heads that were made up of several individual bulbs, each of which was wrapped in a paper-like skin. Once the skin was removed, the bulbs of snot garlic could be used in a variety of culinary preparations. This type of garlic was named for its unique texture, which turned slimy if cooked too long. (OWS)

Snot Vampire
This was a derogatory term used to describe the Anzat race. (TJP)

Snout
This was the somewhat derogatory nickname used by The Camper to describe Marn Hierogryph. (KOR4)

Snow, Iris
This fair-complected woman was the seventh-generation owner of the Corellian Slavers Guild, and was every bit as hard and icy as her name let on. Distinguished by her pale hair and deep violet eyes, Iris grew up working in the slaving business that her father and grandmother had made profitable, during the final years of the Old Republic. She was training slaves by the time she was a teenager, and relished the idea of taking on more and more responsibility. After she took over for her father during the era of the New Order, she added a more "personal" dimension to her leadership qualities, making sure that she handled punishments by herself. This earned her the nickname Lady Snow among the slaves. Despite her wicked demeanor, however, Iris was known to the employees of the Guild as a fair and reasonable boss, unless she was crossed. Iris worked hard to make the Guild more profitable, and resented the change in government that occurred in the wake of the Battle of Endor. She maintained her business relationships with the Hutts and the Imperial Remnant, however, continuing to make a profit while seeking out other business opportunities. (UA)

Snow Demon
Native to Toola, these flying predators have white talons, massive sharp teeth, and a purple tongue. Their long tails were covered with hair. Snow demons average 1.5 meters in length, with a wingspan of up to 3 meters. Like the Whiphids, snow demons prey on mastmots, which often brings the two species into competition. These creatures hunt in flocks, and fly with the use of wings combined with a methane-filled gas bladder in their digestive tract. (CPL, SWJ10)

Snow Demon
This race of heavily-furred, humanoid creatures was native to the planet Akuria Two. They hated the presence of the Empire on their planet, and allied themselves with Colonel Odan to fight back. The Imperial forces on Akuria Two hunted the Snow Demons like beasts, never realizing that they were sentient beings. Snow Demons were distinguished by their light-gray beards and the bony spines which grew along the centerline of their skulls. What made them unusual was their fur, which appeared to be gray or white, but allowed a Snow Demon to blend almost perfectly into the snowy environment of Akuria Two. (PZZ2, MCI4)

According to the Ewoks of the Forest Moon of Endor, the Snow King was responsible for bringing winter to the moon. However, the Snow King was not satisfied with sharing the power of the seasons with his siblings, and often plotted with his mistress, Oodra, to take control of the weather. Sometime before the Battle of Endor, the Snow King planned to steal the Season Scepter used by his siblings to control the weather of the Forest Moon of Endor, in the hopes of using it to obtain the Sunstar from the Ewoks. However, the Leaf Queen learned of her brother's plan, and called upon the Ewoks and other creatures of the moon to help defeat him. (ECAR)

This thin-bodied Elomin served as the navigator aboard the transport vessel Uhumele, during the final years of the Old Republic. Known as Sniffles to the rest of the crew, he worked with Crys Taanzer to keep the ship on-time during their regular runs. Like the rest of his crewmates, Sniffles had no reason to trust the Galactic Empire that rose to power in the wake of the Clone Wars. Thus, when Dass Jennir and Bomo Greenbark joined the crew and asked for help in locating Greenbark's wife and daughter, they were more than happy to lend their assistance. Their search took them to Orvax IV before ending on Esseles, but the ending was not what they had hoped for. Greenbark's wife had been killed while protecting her daughter, and the daughter had been killed by Dezono Qua. After leaving Esseles, Captain Schurk-Heren took the Uhumele to Pizkoss, where he entered into a deal with Haka Hai. The deal involved transporting an artifact to Haka Hai's base on Circarpous V, but the crew found themselves stuck in the middle of a double-cross by Haka Hai's own men. In the firefight that followed, Sniffles jumped in front of a blaster bolt that was meant for Crys, taking the blast in his chest.

He desired more power than what he had on Ralme IV, hoping one day to take control of all of Brak Sector. He made a deal with Jabba the Hutt, gaining the Hutt's support in return for a percentage of Soach's profits. With the partnership, Soach was able to take control of almost a third of the criminal activity in Brak Sector, and began bumping heads with Ral Nalmar. Soach quickly lost patience with the normal squabbles between the two organizations, and launched an all-out attack on the Nalmar estate in the city of Mennia, on Genesia. Soach believed that his troubles were over when Ral Nalmar was killed, but he was dismayed to learn that Eelien Kirat had assumed control of the Nalmar organization. (FBS)

Years later, after the Thaereian Military began to usurp control in the system, Soboll became a major base for the Thaereians. Just before the Clone Wars, when Operation False Horizon was launched by the Cularin Militia, Soboll provided the main fallback location for the defeated Thaereians. The Thaereians used multiple levels of shielding and security systems to protect their base on Soboll, hoping for reinforcements to arrive. (LFC, LFCW)

The planet was first settled during the Old Republic, some 3,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Six colony ships originally set out to settle the planet, but two were lost on the trip. The colonists evolved over time into several nomadic tribes and a population which preferred to stay in the cities. (SWJ2, BSS)

The entire sandwich was served on medium-density food-board. (OWS)

Sodarra
This Imperial Captain was in command of a team of highly-skilled stormtroopers shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Sodarra and his team were dispatched to Ord Mantell by the Emperor himself, when it was learned that Darth Vader's TIE Advanced cockpit had been located there - with the Dark Lord himself inside and unconscious. They managed to recover the cockpit before Governor Vellam, and fled Ord Mantell in a CR90 corvette. Vellam dispatched the Eradicator to intercept them, and they were shot down over Mon Torri. There, they encountered Han Solo and Chewbacca, who were flying the Millennium Falcon to Tatooine to intercept Alfreda Goot. Both ships were damaged, although Alfreda provided the necessary parts to repair the MillenniumFalcon. Sodarra then tricked Han Solo into believing that the cargo he and his men were carrying was a prototype cloaking device that he and his men had stolen from Governor Vellam, shortly after they defected from Imperial service. Sodarra claimed that they had planned to sell the prototype to Ploovo Two-for-One, but the crimelord doublecrossed them and they were on the run. Han, meanwhile, was racing against Alfredo Goot, in an effort to recover Leia Organa. Han believed Sodarra's story, and agreed to help the "ex-Imperials" get to Shador, where they would drop off the cargo. On Shador, they were double-crossed by Lieutenant Birdloe, who was actually a spy for Governor Vellam, but they managed to flee the planet and reach Tatooine. There, Han discovered the true nature of Sodarra's cargo shortly before he rescued Leia. Han and Sodarra reached a "gentlemen's agreement" that allowed both parties to walk away from the situation. Sodarra and his men then arranged for passage to Coruscant with Vader's body. (SL)

Soft Heart Cantina
This cantina was located in grid nineteen of the Southern Underground, on the planet Coruscant, during the early years of the New Order. The Soft Heart Cantina was owned and operated by Memah Roothes, until the structure and the surrounding buildings burned to the ground. The blaze was apparently set by known arsonist Varlo Brim, but a few questions asked by Roothes' bouncer, Rodo, revealed a series of strange events. First, local deliveries started to be late or lost all together. The local inspectors had passed the neighborhood fire-suppression system only months, and fire-fighting crews were late arriving on the scene. Then, Varlo Brim has an apparent heart attack and died before he could be interrogated.

The cantina had not been insured by Memah Roothes, who had maintained her faith in the city's fire suppression gear. Thus, the loss of the Soft Heart took her entire life's savings with it when it burned to ashes. In the aftermath of the blaze, Memah was interviewed by Neet Alamant, and agreed to take on the task of running a cantina aboard the first Death Star. The new cantina was dubbed the Hard Heart Cantina, in honor of the structure onj Coruscant and its eventual destruction. (DSTR)

Sokan
This form of lightsaber combat was developed by the ancient Jedi Knights. It combined the kinetic motions of Form IV combat with tactics that allowed for mobility and evasion. Originally created during the Great Sith War, Sokan involved quick movements and tumbles, as well as swift strokes of the lightsaber aimed at an opponent's vital areas.

(BSS)

Sol, Jorin
This Alliance statistician accompanied Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker to Jabiim, some seven months after the Battle of Yavin, in an effort to assess the relative strength of the Loyalist forces. Along with Leia and Nera Dantels, Sol was held prisoner by the Jabiimites after it was learned that Luke was the son of Anakin Skywalker. He was later taken into custody by Darth Vader himself, who transported him to Kalist VI and tortured him until he gave up the mathematical algorithms used to plan the Alliance's escape from the Yavin System.

Jorin's torture continued long after he gave up this information, and would have killed him had not Tal Hesz experienced a change of heart and rescued him from captivity. Jorin was later recovered by Luke Skywalker and Deena Shan, who transported his badly-injured body back to an Alliance medical frigate. Jorin showed a marked improvement after just a few days in a bacta tank, but no one was prepared for his near-complete recovery.

One evening, Jorin escaped from his bacta tank, and would have killed Deena if his own sense of self hadn't stopped him. He then revealed that he had been brainwashed by the Empire to kill any members of the Alliance who tried to stop him from sending a signal that would pinpoint the location of the main Alliance fleet. Cruelly-twisted memories of his parents were inserted into his mind, making Jorin feel that the killings were the only things that would make them proud. Jorin was treated again, this time under observation, and was eventually cleared to return to duty.

However, the brainwashing techniques used by the Empire had deep roots, and Jorin pulled out a blaster and began firing at his comrades during his first assignment. Only the timely intervention of Luke Skywalker prevented any loss of life, but Jorin revealed that he had already transmitted their location to the Imperial fleet. Furthermore, he had also provided the coordinates of all possible hyperspace exit routes, allowing the Empire to station fleets there as well. Thus, as the Rebel One and its fleet leapt through hyperspace, Darth Vader and his own fleet were waiting for them at one of their jump points. The fleet took heavy damage, and might have been destroyed if Tungo Li hadn't ordered the surviving ships to scatter into hyperspace and abandon the preset jump protocol.

The Rebel One, however, had sustained sever damage to its command deck, and no one was able to act on Li's orders. In a desparate act, Jorin finally cast off his Imperial brainwashing, and forced his way through the fires on the bridge to reach the command console. As the flames consumed his body, Jorin sent the Rebel One into hyperspace, ensuring that the ship survived to fight another day.

When the fleet was finally able to regroup, Jorin was posthumously honored as a hero. (SWESF, SWEMO, SWRMB)

Sola
This man served the Alliance at the Echo Base on Hoth, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was assigned to the ground forces team that was led by Corporal Jobin. The team was separated from its main unit, and made a daring attempt to recapture the base's ion cannon control center, after Imperial forces had taken over the center. Thanks to the team's efforts, the final transports were able to escape without harm. (VIS)

Sol'aa
This Jedi Knight was also a noted pazaak player. Sol'aa was assigned to the Jedi enclave that was located on the planet Dantooine some four millennia before the Battle of Yavin. (KOTOR)

Solace
This was the alias adopted by former Jedi Master Fy-Tor-Ana, after she returned to Coruscant in the wake of the Clone Wars. She allowed the word "solace" to leak out to the members of the Erased, but kept the exact nature of what Solace was a mystery. Some members of the Erased believed that Solace was a person, while others believed that it was a hidden location, deep beneath the undercity of Coruscant, where the Erased could finally find peace. Some of the stories claimed that Solace was filled with trees and lakes that were open to the sky, while others told of a beautiful urban area where all beings were free. Another tale told that, during Coruscant's ancient past, the planet had once been covered by vast oceans. These oceans were eventually drained, and the water pumped into underground caverns, to make way for the construction of the vast cityscape that dominated the surface.

After fleeing the Jedi Temple, Fy-Tor-Ana remained hidden beneath Coruscant's crust, in a settlement on the edge of a huge underground ocean, and adopted the monicker of Solace. She put her history as a Jedi into the past, and set out to lead her small settlement. However, she realized that her past might come back to haunt her, so she maintained a small starfighter that could be used as an escape vessel. When she was located by Ferus Olin, Solace refused to acknowledge her Jedi past, claiming that she had no desire to revisit the black days of the Clone Wars. However, when Ferus explained that Inquisitor Malorum had planted a spy in her midst, Solace agreed to return to the Jedi Temple with Ferus and discover the spy's identity before her underground settlement could be destroyed.

Their mission was not successful, as they found no mention of the spy's identity, and Ferus was captured while covering their escape. To make matters worse, upon returning to Solace's underground settlement, they found the outcasts under attack. Solace barely escaped with her life, although the settlement and most of its population of Erased was eliminated. She later reasoned that it was her assistant, Duro, who had been the spy. After locating the survivors, Solace quickly fled Coruscant before making plans to rescue Ferus from the Dontamo Prison facility.

When Ferus was captured by Emperor Palpatine and sent to Samaria, Solace traveled with Oryon and Trever Flume to Bellassa, on a mission to rescue Roan Lands and Dona Telamark from the True Justice. After escaping from Bellassa, Solace received word that Ferus Olin was on Samaria, and that he was to be joined by Darth Vader himself. Rather than see Ferus in trouble, Solace and her team traveled to Samaria to extract Ferus and Clive Flax. They also helped rescue Astri Oddo and her son, Lune, but Ferus remained with the Imperial forces. Although many other members of their small band of rebels worried that Ferus had turned his back on them, Solace remained convinced of his loyalty to their efforts.

While other members of their band chose to travel to Bellassa to recover Ferus, Solace agreed to accompany Clive Flax on a journey to Coruscant, where he planned to help Astri Oddo and her son Lune find a safe place to hide from her former husband, Bog Divinian. The group managed to escape back to Ferus Olin's hidden asteroid base, but they were unprepared for the treachery of General Toma and the rebel leader Flame, who turned out to be the Imperial agent Eve Yarrow. The efforts of these two gave Darth Vader the location of the asteroid base. He had also rigged Eve Yarrow's starship to explode, stranding Solace on the asteroid with Ry-Gaul, Garen Muln, and Lune Oddo. When Vader's Star Destroyer appeared in the asteroid field, the three former Jedi agreed to send Lune away from the asteroid in an escape pod, then set out to defend the asteroid against insurmountable odds. Vader wasted no time in firing on the asteroid, tearing it apart in a single, devastating blast that killed everyone still on its surface. Solace died knowing that the Jedi were not yet defeat if Lune still survived. (LJ3, LJ4, LJ5, LJ7, LJ10)

Solar Sailer
This unique starship design was developed by the Geonosian people as a gift to Count Dooku, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was created from a Punworcca 116-class sloop adapted to deploy an immense solar sail to take advantage of solar winds, as well as the small bits of interstellar energy. The main body of the ship was connected to the sails, which were actually more like scoops which caught the solar winds and dragged the ship behind it. These sails could also collect energy from the vacuum of space, allowing the ship to move about in deeper areas of the galaxy. The addition of the sail system gave the Punworcca 116-class fuselage to 16.76 meters, while the fully-deployed sails brought the overall length of the sailer to 105.16 meters. The interior of the sloop section was appointed to Dooku's refined tastes, and an FA-4 pilot droid was used to steer the ship. With the solar sails fully deployed and the ship at full power, the solar sailer could move across the galaxy with the efficiency of a Class 1.5 hyperdrive. The sails for the ship were acquired by Count Dooku in the Gree Enclave, and were much smaller than those used on other ships which sailed on the solar winds. It was powered by an unusual supralight emission system, although its exact function was never truly understood. (TCG1, X2, SWDB, NEGV)

Solar Terrors
This pirate group was formed by Venslas Beeli and several other pirates, during the early days of the New Order. The Terrors were infamous for their ability to capture other starships, which was their primary method of acquiring new ships for their own use.

Solay
This planet was unusual in that it orbited a system of ten suns, making it a bright and arid world. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Solay was plunged into a period of anarchy, and it was this period in which Luke Skywalker made a visit to Solay. He was on a diplomatic mission to bring worlds together to discuss a new galactic government, and he arrived just in time to help Raggold and his rebels defeat the pro-Imperial leadership. Unfortunately, Raggold was killed by a traitor, and Luke set out to locate him.

Solis
This battered Tac-Spec Footman droid was a companion of Fidelis for many years, while Fidelis was on Coruscant to watch over Whie Malreaux, during the last years of the Old Republic. Like Fidelis, Solis had been built centuries before. The pair were often seen playing a game of courtier dejarik, although Solis was often the loser. Because Solis had been alone on Coruscant, it had never received the regular upgrades that Fidelis had. Solis made sure that, with the meager resources it could acquire, that it obtained only the most useful upgrades, and logic and gaming strategy were never a high priority. When Whie was added to Master Yoda's mission to Vjun, both Fidelis and Solis managed to book passage aboard the Reasonable Doubt, so that Fidelis could continue to watch over his young charge. It was during this time that Solis' true programming came to the fore, when the droid realized that Whie and his companions were traveling with none other than Jedi Master Yoda. Solis made up a story about being a purser droid to gain access to Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy - otherwise known as Scout - and draw her away from Whie and allow Fidelis to talk to his young charge. Unfortunately for the Jedi, Solis provided all the information he learned about their location and destination to Separatist forces led by Asajj Ventress, allowing her to pinpoint their locations and attempt to assassinate Yoda. However, after Ventress was unable to capture Yoda on Phindar, Solis found himself on the short end of the deal. Count Dooku had severely chastised Ventress for wasting credits, and she refused to pay Solis for his information. Solis himself set out for Vjun, to square away the situation. He managed to locate them by following the death-cry of Fidelis, after the droid had been forced to destroy itself in order to save Whie. Upon entering the Crying Room, Solis chose to allow Scout and Whie to live, hoping it would make for better odds in bringing Ventress down. Unfortunately, Ventress had recovered the neural-net eraser Fidelis had been forced to use, and she managed to hit Solis squarely in the back with a blast, rendering him a useless pile of scrap before he could get a good shot off. As Solis fell to the ground, it managed to fire a wild blast from its mini rail cannon, striking Ventress and giving the Padawans a chance to escape. (YDR)

Solk, Chanto
An old acquaintence of Han Solo, Chanto Solk made a great deal of money during the Galactic Civil War by anticipating the demand for starships, and selling to the side that needed them. When his health started to fail, he married Karia Ver Seryan, a life witch on Leria Kerlsil, about five years after the Battle of Endor. She Supported him for five years, and in return was named the heiress to his fortunes. Solk died four years later, when Karia was forced to withdraw her Support. Chanto Solk was Karia's 49th husband. Note that Cracken's Threat Dossier indicates Solk's first name was Chantu. (AC, CTD)

Sollaine
This man was easily distinguished by the cybernetic replacements he used for arms, because he made no pretense to disguise them. Sollaine chose not to have them covered with synthetic skin, making his appearance that much more fearsome. During the height of the New Order, Sollaine was in command of the Imperial Security Bureau, and was appointed by Emperor Palpatine himself to ferret out the location of Alliance spies who had infiltrated Imperial service. Sollaine was recommended for the work by Darth Vader, shortly before construction was completed on the Executor. In reality, Vader simply wanted Sollaine out of the way, and Sollaine never forgave the Dark Lord. Sollaine tried to intercept Rivoche Tarkin on Corulag, shortly before the Battle of Hoth, ignoring the list of suspected Alliance agents provided by Vader. When Vader learned of Sollaine's execution of Captain Nevik, the Dark Lord intercepted Sollaine at Corulag and executed him with a clean swipe of his lightsaber. (SWJ12)

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

Sollima
Known as Solly to his comrades, this male Aleena controlled a small criminal empire in the Outer Rim Territories, during the height of the New Order. Sollima was also the owner and operator of the Hollow Moon casino world. About two years before the Battle of Yavin, Han Solo stole a small amount of credits from Sollima and then fled into space, prompting Sollima to hunt him down. However, rather than having Solo executed or tortured when he was apprehended on Simbarc, Sollima gave him a chance to redeem himself by recovering an accounting droid that had been captured by Imperial forces. The droid contained a wealth of information on Sollima's dealings, and it had to be recovered before the Empire could use the data to bring Sollima down. Rather than allowing Solo to leave Simbarc with his co-pilot, Chewbacca, Sollima kept the Wookiee with him and assigned Billal Batross to work with Solo on the recovery mission. It was Billal that had suggested the mission, in an attempt to pay of his own debts. Sollima agreed to the mission, allowing Solo and Billal to take off while sending Chewbacca to the gladiator pits on the Hollow Moon. If Solo and Billal returned with the droid intact, Chewbacca would be released. Unknown to Sollima was the fact that Billal had been skimming credits from his accounts, and that the entire mission had been set up so that Billal could erase information about his actions before Sollima found out. Sollima was also unaware that the Solo and Billal had been captured by Imperial Captain Taavin during the mission. When the two smugglers returned with only the droid's brain, Sollima grew angry and gave the order to have Chewbacca killed, again unaware that the Wookiee was leading a revolt in the slave pits of the Hollow Moon. In the confusion that followed, Solo and Billal were able to alert Taavin to the location of the Hollow Moon, before they confronted Sollima and demanded that teir debts be cleared. Sollima quickly agreed, if only they got him safely away from the Hollow Moon before the Imperials arrived. Solo agreed to the deal, but only as far as he needed to. Once they were safely away from the Hollow Moon, Solo pushed Sollima into an escape pod and jettisoned him into the midst of the Imperial fleet. (HMK)

Solo, Allana Djo
This young girl was the daughter of Tenel Ka Djo and Jacen Solo, born some five years after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Tenel Ka was forced to keep Allana's true parentage a secret for a number of reasons. First, Hapan politics would not support an heir to the throne of the Queen Mother that had Jedi blood. Second, Tenel Ka needed to maintain control over her suitors. Third, neither parent wanted the child to be forced into the public eye. Jacen was forced to leave his child behind on Hapes as he was drawn into the plans of Lumiya. However, he never forgot his love of Tenel Ka and Allana, and this attachment formed part of the basis for his eventual fall to the Dark Side of the Force.

After Tenel Ka refused to allow the Hapan Navy to participate in the Galactic Alliance's battles, a decision that was predicated by Jacen's part in assuming control of the Alliance, Jacen became quite angry with her. Rather than launch a direct assault on the Hapans, and risk bringing a depleted naval force into the military, he chose to infiltrate Hapes and kidnap his own daughter. With Allana safely hidden aboard the Anakin Solo, Jacen issued an ultimatum to the Hapans: rejoin the Galactic Alliance, or Allana would be killed. Allana herself stayed in one of the many hidden chambers aboard Jacen's Star Destroyer, always wondering what was happening. She had been trained by her mother to only accept the companionship and orders of an adult who used a special phrase, and Jacen never spoke this phrase to her. She remained quiet in Jacen's presence, waiting for him to reassure her with the words. When Jacen discovered that his own parents had infiltrated the Anakin Solo during a rendezvous with Corellian delegates dispatched by Sadras Koyan, Jacen realized that he had fallen into, not one, but two traps. He took an experimental TIE Reconnaissance Fighter and fled the Star Destroyer with Allana, hoping to avoid losing her in the fighting. When Allana suddenly became frightened and upset by the combat around them, Jacen came to the realization that she was Force-sensitive, and that she was feeling the deaths of the pilots in space near them. Upon returning to the Anakin Solo, Allana became angry at Jacen, since he had no used the secret phrase, and either put her in danger or ingored her all together.

In order to appease the girl, Jacen explained that he had every right to do what he did, because he was her father. She accepted this news with a mixture of love and concern, and agreed to keep silent a while longer. When Jacen traveled to the Corellian System on a mission to capture Centerpoint Station, he was unaware of a second attempt to rescue Allana. This time, the mission was led by Han and Leia Solo, who were assisted by Iella Antilles and Jagged Fel. They were able to reach Allana's hiding place while Jacen was fighting Luke and Ben Skywalker, and took her to safety aboard the Millennium Falcon. Only after reaching the rendezvous point at Gyndine did Han and Leia explain that they were Allana's grandparents.

After she was returned to Hapes, Allana was never very far from Tenel Ka's side, and she accompanied her mother to the Transitory Mists when Tenel Ka supplied the Hapan Home Fleet to help defend the Jedi base on Shedu Maad. During the fighting, forces of the Imperial Remnant pretended to ally themselves with Ducha Requud, in an effort to sneak a nanokiller virus aboard the Dragon Queen. The nanokiller had been programmed to attack any being with the genetics of Prince Isolder, and killed a great many members of the royal family. Tenel Ka had sensed the danger in the Force, but later reported that she had been unable to prevent the nanokiller from overtaking Allana. Allana was reported dead shortly afterward, along with many others of the royal family. Tenel Ka managed to survive, and set about restoring order among the Hapan forces arrayed around Shedu Maad.

In the wake of the fighting, Tenel Ka revealed to Han and Leia Solo that Allana had survived, but needed to be kept safe from the political intrigue that had nearly led to her death. Allana then took on the alias of Amelia, an orphan of the war who was found to be sensitive to the Force. Han and Leia agreed to serve as her guardian while she trained at the Jedi academy, until such time as her true identity could once again be revealed. However, Tenel Ka asked the Solos to keep watch over Allana, since she believed that her daughter would be safer with them than at the Jedi academy. This allowed Allana to grow up with her grandparents, traveling the galaxy aboard the Millennium Falcon. This suited Allana just fine, because it allowed her to grow up as a precocious and adventurous child. She eventually developed her father's love of animals and other creatures. It was Allana who suggested that they set out on an adventure to seek out the full history of the Millennium Falcon, after she found a strange, T-shaped component lodged in the bulkhead of the main living area. Han and Leia eventually agreed to the plan, and they set out to track down Lando Calrissian to start their investigation. Lando was able to take the component to Tal-lik-Tal, who determined that it was some kind of communications device.

Their search took them to the planet Taris, where they hoped to speak with Vistal Purn. On Taris, they took in Sok Brok's Fiftieth Annual Pet Show, which was being managed by Purn, and Allana found the entire show fascinating. Unfortunately, her desire to see the unusual creatures led Allana to stray away from Han when they went to the concession stand, and she was stunned by a group of beings who were following the Solos. The thugs, led by Seff Hellin, hoped to use her as ransom, forcing Han and Leia to obtain a shipment of YVH droids from Lando Calrissian in exchange for her safety. Although Allana was eventually rescued, her parents learned that her captor was actually Seff Hellin, whom Allana discerned was a man with a presence in the Force that was similar to that of Jacen Solo. Their search brought them to the frontier world of Vaced, where the Solos met up with Tobb Jadak, who had piloted the Millennium Falcon back when it was known as the Stellar Envoy.

Jadak found a way to activate the device Allana had found, using the code phrase he had been given decades earlier. It was Allana, however, who realized that the device would only work completely if it were placed back in its original position. Once this was done, the ship made a sudden leap into hyperspace, heading for the planet Tandun Three. On the remote planet, they discovered that the Millennium Falcon was connected to one of the ruins, and that by landing the ship on top of the ruins, they could enter the facility. Han ordered everyone out of the ship, in case something happened. Although the ruins accepted the ship, the balance of the ship on its platform was upset when it descended into the ruins, and Allana was throw from the platform. Totally by instinct, Allana drew upon the Force, using it to communicate with the surrounding plant life. The plants grabbed her before she could fall, then helped to right the ship before placing Allana on the ground. Although she as frightened by the experience, Allana was comforted by her grandmother, who was more than happy to learn that she had acquired Jacen Solo's connection to the light side of the Force. Inside the ruins, they found a fake version of the Insignia of Unity, which the Republic Group believed to have been the real version. Before they could recover it, however, Tandun Three tore itself apart in a seismic convulsion, forcing the Solos to blast off in order to avoid being buried beneath the rubble.

Several years later, Allana accompanied her grandparents to the planet Kessel, where they had agreed to help Lando Calrissian discovered the reasons for the groundquakes that were disrupting the spice mining operations there. Allana was forced to remain on the surface during the early part of the mission, when Han and Leia traveled deep beneath the planet's surface, and it was during this time that Allana received a strange and frightening communication through the Force. She had been exploring the planet's dusty surface, and had found what appeared to be a crypt or tomb. While trying to learn more about it, someone or something on the Garrison Moon made contact with her, and Allana feared that something awful might happen if she were to travel to the moon. Thus, when the final mission to prevent Kessel's destruction was carried out, Allana traveled with her grandparents aboard the Millennium Falcon, and she was allowed to fire the final missile.

The Solos soon returned to Coruscant, and attempted to give Allana as normal a life as they could. Only family members were allowed to know the secret of her identity, but that did not stop several Jedi Knights and other acquiantences from becoming enamored with Amelia. On a family outing to visit the Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition, however, Jedi Knight Natua Wan experienced an episode in which she came to believe that the Solo family had been replaced by imposters. This same sort of psychosis had affected other Jedi, and Natua Wan went to great lengths to eliminate the "imposters". She set free the dangerous creatures at the show, hoping to kill off the beings whom she believed had replaced her friends. Although Allana and her grandparents survived, they wer forced to slay a great number of creatures, including a female nexu. Leia Solo arranged for a surviving cub to be rescued and taken in as a family pet, and Allana immediately bonded with the creature, which she named Anji. However, the episode with Natua Wan had shaken Allana, and she was scared that she might experience a similar Force-related psychosis because of her own connection to the Force. Her grandparents did their best to calm her nerves, knowing that Allana had never been to Shelter base, which had been the only common link between the affected Jedi.

Han and Leia realized that Allana was growing into a person who would fill the role of Chume'da, especially when she questioned her grandparents about the arrest of Tahiri Veila. Both Han and Leia confirmed that Tahiri had killed Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon, so Allana was confused when they stated that the Galactic Alliance Security force had no right to arrest her and put her on trial for the killing. (DN3, LF2, LF7, LF9, MF, FJ1, FJ3)

Solo, Anakin
Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo's second son, Anakin was born on Nespis VIII about a year and a half after his siblings, Jaina and Jacen. He was named for this maternal grandfather, Anakin Skywalker. He was incredibly strong in the Force, especially for a child so young. By the time he was three, Anakin's gifts had become obvious to his uncle, Luke Skywalker. By the time he was seven, he had demonstrated a remarkable ability to make anything mechanical work, regardless of whether he understands the device's purpose or its components. His siblings, Jacen and Jaina, have discovered his abilities, and use them to bypass locks and security cameras. They even tried once to have Anakin create a working droid from various scrap components. Unfortunately, the primary motivator Jacen found was faulty, and the droid blew up. Anakin figured prominently in the discovery and activation of some of the Corellian planetary repulsors during the reign of Thrackan Sal-Solo on Corellia. He continued to show great aptitude with the Force, and when his siblings returned from their initial studies on Yavin 4, Anakin was allowed to go as well. He was eleven at the time, and was immediately befriended by Tahiri Veila. Together, they discovered the Golden Globe beneath the Palace of the Woolamander and the existence of the ancient Jedi Master Ikrit. After a great deal of thought and meditation on the Globe, Anakin and Tahiri were able to penetrate it and release the Massassi spirits trapped within. He returned to Yavin 4 following the attack by the Shadow Academy, and helped rebuild the Great Temple by viewing its rubble as a huge puzzle to be solved. Anakin, as well as his brother Jacen, trained directly with Luke, when Luke began moving the new Jedi Knights back to the pre-Empire format of teaching. Both brothers had different ideas on what the future of the Jedi should be. Jacen agreed with Luke, that the formation of a new Jedi Council would help bring the vigilantes under control. Jacen also believed more in the spiritual aspects of the Force, while Anakin held to the physical uses of the Force. They clashed often, claiming their intense lightsaber duels were simply training. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Anakin was forced to act on his beliefs, and doggedly protected Mara Jade Skywalker on Dantooine. After saving her, Anakin learned that he was needed at Centerpoint Station. Archaeologists and engineers at the Station had been trying to reactivate it, but discovered that the Station had attuned itself to Anakin's fingerprints, brainwaves, and DNA. It wouldn't activate without him. The New Republic hoped to use the repulsors onboard the massive station to wipe out the Yuuzhan Vong fleet, but Anakin refused to be the wielder of such power. Thackan Sal-Solo took the shot instead, but only succeeded in destroying much of the New Republic's fleet at Fondor, including most of the Hapan fleet which supported it. Thrackan was portrayed by the media as a hero, while the Jedi Knights were vilified for their lack of action. In the wake of the Battle of Fondor, Anakin's training was taken up by Luke himself, in an effort to refocus Anakin's powers. Anakin grew stronger and more respected among the Jedi, and was eventually chosen to lead the strike team which was dispatched to Myrkr to eliminate the voxyn queen. However, once aboard the Baanu Rass, Anakin took an amphistaff wound to the abdomen, and found himself dying. However, his connection to the Force remained strong, and he gathered energy around him like a magnet. Anakin became glowing extension of the Force itself, almost invincible as he cut down Yuuzhan Vong in order to get his friends closer to the voxyn queen. However, the intense energy quickly consumed him, and Anakin died shortly after ensuring that Tahiri was safe. His physical form suddenly radiated an intense light shortly before he died. Anakin's body was recovered by the Jedi survived the assault in the Baanu Rass, in an effort to bury him within the Republic. Anakin was laid to rest on Hapes, where his physical form disintegrated into thousands of motes of firelight when his bier was lit. (DE1, COTF, AC, GG, LW, AQ, SHA, VP, JE, BP, SBS, DJ, NEGC)

Solo, Berethon e
One of Han's early ancestors, he introduced democracy to the Corellian Empire. He lived nine generations before Han, some 300 years before Han was born. (CPL, TPS)

Solo, Dalla
Born on the planet Duro to the pretender Korol Solo, Dalla Solo was believed to have been Han Solo's grandfather. He was forced to change his name to Dalla Suul to avoid notice following the hanging of his father. He was a kidnapper and pirate, known to the galaxy as Dalla the Black. His illegitimate daughter was Threkin Horm's mother. Han's true lineage was later discovered to have descended from Denn Solo. (CPL, TPS)

Solo, Denn
This man was a native of the planet Tralus. Denn Solo never liked human servants, and always had droids working for him. He married Tira Gama, and she was pregnant when a group of pirates attacked the outling worlds of the Corellian System. She gave birth to twins just before the attack on Tralus. She managed to flee with a daughter, whom she later named Tiion, and they hid in the hills. Denn fled with a son, but they were lost in the battle. After Thrackan Sal-Solo and Han Solo discussed it, they came to the conclusion that Denn Solo was actually Han's grandfather, and that the son he fled with was Jonash Solo. Jonash later became han Solo's father. (TPS, CPL)

Solo, Han
Han Solo was born on Corellia, some seven years before the onset of the Clone Wars. He was a good student, and caught the eye of Imperial Senator Garm Bel Iblis with his pointed questions during a school political rally when Han was 11. Some of his friends goaded him to ask Bel Iblis about the growing xenophobia in the Senate, as well as the apparent internal corruption in the Old Republic. This helped Han get an appointment to the Academy on Carida, where he excelled as an officer and as a pilot.

Following his graduation, he was considered for Naval Officer's training, but he was sidetracked by Imperial atrocities against the Wookiee race. On a particular mission, Han tried successfully to rescue a Wookiee slave named Chewbacca. Chewbacca claimed a life-debt to Han even as Han was receiving a dishonorable discharge from the Imperial Navy. They were forced to flee Imperial control and live their lives at the fringes of the lawful world.

For a number of years, Han tried to shake Chewie, who was always at his side. Even though Han took the worst kinds of jobs, Chewie stuck with him. Eventually, Han realized the depth of a Wookiee life debt, and accepted Chewie as part of his life. Han was awarded a second-level set of Corellian Bloodstripes for his bravery and selflessness in rescuing Chewbacca. (It was unknown at this time how Han earned his first-level Bloodstripes.) They turned to smuggling, using Han's starship knowledge and Chewie's muscular and mechanical skills to quickly gain recognition in the smugglers' world.

Han's skills at gambling became equally sharp, and in a famous Sabacc match, he managed to win the smuggling ship Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissian. With a ship and a partner, Han had many adventures. He spent a number of years based on Nar Shaddaa, working with Shug Ninx and falling in and out of love with Salla Zend. He left that life behind to work in the Corporate Sector, and spent a number of years there with Doc, Jessa, and Roa. After all these adventures, Han ended up in the domain of Moruth Doole and Jabba the Hutt. Han was one of many pilots who were contracted to make the Kessel Run and smuggle spice out from beneath Imperial control. Han made the run a number of times, once in under twelve parsecs. However, his last run almost cost him his life.

He was set up by Doole, who was in the process of being set up by Jabba the Hutt, and the Imperials were tipped of as to the time of Han's Run. In order to escape the Imperials, Han was forced to dump Jabba's spice and flee. This earned him a death mark from Jabba, and Han was again forced to go underground. In an effort to make some extra credits and pay off Jabba, Han accepted Obi-Wan Kenobi's offer of 17,000 credits to transport Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, R2-D2 and C-3PO to Alderaan. The mission was sidetracked as the Millennium Falcon was captured by the first Death Star. At Kenobi's urging, Han jettisoned some of the ship's escape pods and created false log entries that stated the crew had abandoned the ship after leaving Tatooine. The group then hid in the ship's smuggling holds until they could make their way out of the ship. Han and Luke rescued Princess Leia Organa, and brought her to Yavin 4, but only after Kenobi sacrificed himself to distract Darth Vader and his stormtroopers. Han tried to leave with his reward money and pay Jabba off, but his conscience interfered once again. Han and Chewie left Yavin 4 and traveled to the battle zone, where Han destroyed Darth Vader's wingmen and gave Luke the time he needed to destroy the Death Star.

Following the Battle of Yavin, Han spent time with the Alliance, helping them gain key victories against the Empire while trying to stay one step ahead of Jabba's mercenaries. He was even promoted to the rank of General in the Alliance. After a close call with a bounty hunter on Ord Mantell, Han again tried to return and pay Jabba, only to be forced to Cloud City while escaping Darth Vader and the Imperial Navy. During this time, he and Princess Leia began to fall in love. This trip reunited Han with Lando Calrissian, but led to Han's being tracked by Boba Fett, imprisoned in carbonite, and returned to Jabba for the reward money.

Han was freed by an elaborate plot by Luke Skywalker on Tatooine, and Han rejoined the Alliance to lead the ground assault on the forest moon of Endor. His timely destruction of the second Death Star's main shield helped the Alliance destroy the space station and the Emperor, thus ending the Galactic Civil War and restoring the Republic. Following the formation of the New Republic, Han and Leia tried to continue their relationship, but Leia's duties often interfered. Han resigned his commission with the New Republic, but stayed on as a freelance pilot. Following the Battle of Bakura and the fighting on Dathomir, Han and Leia were finally married. Their marriage produced twin children - Jaina, a daughter; and Jacen, a son - as well as a second son, Anakin. Leia's Force sensitivity was passed onto all of the children, and this made them prime targets for the Jedi clone Joruus C'Baoth and the reborn Emperor Palpatine. Han and Leia continued to protect their children against the Imperial threat.

During a vacation from his wife's Republic world, Han and Chewie were shot down over Kessel, and captured by Moruth Doole's forces. He was forced to work the spice mines for Doole, which led him to discover Kyp Durron and the Maw Installation. Han's friendship with Kyp helped avoid serious damage when Kyp was corrupted by Exar Kun's spirit. Despite the fact that Han had resigned from service to the Republic after his marriage to Leia, he was often pressed into service. One of those times occurred during the Yevethan Purge. After Etahn A'baht was unable to blockade the Koornacht Cluster, Han was temporarily promoted to Commodore and placed in command of the Fifth Battle Group. This move was designed to keep Leia's supporters, as well as the supporters of Borsk Fey'lya, from arguing over the position and focused on the battle. However, the deceit of Tig Peramis provided this information to Nil Spaar, who sent several of his Interdictor cruisers to intercept Han's shuttle before it reached the fleet. Han was tortured and interrogated by Spaar himself.

Later, Han was instrumental in the resolution of the problems in the Corellian Sector, overcoming the Human League and the actions of his cousin, Thrackan Sal-Solo. Han and Chewbacca continued to serve the New Republic, despite the fact that they had resolved their commissions long ago. At fifty-four years old, however, Han nearly met his match when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. During a rescue mission to Sernipdal, Chewbacca was stranded on the planet while trying to ensure that Han and his son, Anakin Solo, made it to the Millennium Falcon. Chewie died saving them, and Han immediately blamed Anakin, who had been piloting the Falcon. Han soon realized, however, that there was no fault to be given in Chewie's death, since the Wookiee was simply honoring a life-debt with all his strength and energy. This did nothing to soothe Han's heart, though, and he distanced himself from his friends and family while trying to come to terms with his grief. For many years, he secretly hated the Millennium Falcon for not performing poorly without Chewie around. Han found an outlet for his anger and his need to act against the alien invaders when Roa asked him to help locate Reck Desh. Han took off for Ord Mantell, only to have Roa captured by the Yuuzhan Vong. As Han fled the Jubilee Wheel, he found an unexpected ally and friend in Droma, a nomadic Ryn. However, Han's relationship with Leia deteriorated when he explained that he was headed back out to find Roa and help Droma locate his family. Their estrangement only worsened in the aftermath of the Battle of Fondor. Han remained behind, helping to get Droma and his family settled on Abregado-rae, then helping Roa recover from his captivity. Leia continued to work with SELCORE, and refused to meet Han on Coruscant.

After the loss of Kalarba, Han ran into Leia on Duro, and they decided to stop being foolish and restore their lives. Their relationship continued to deepen once again, despite the loss of their son Anakin at Myrkr. The Solos threw themselves into the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, and Han found himself volunteering for some of the most dangerous and crazy of assignments. Han and Leia were instrumental in the rescue of Thorsh from Selvaris, and later the rescue of Judder Page and several more Selvaris prisoners. After watching Caluula Station be destroyed, Han again volunteered for a dangerous mission, this time to return to Caluula and destroy the yammosk which had been installed there. However, as soon as they reached the yammosk, Team Meloque was attacked by four Yuuzhan Vong Slayers. As he tried to defend leia, Han was bitten in the neck by one of the augmented amphistaffs and poisoned. However, something about Caluula's environment reduced the potency of the amphistaff venom, and Han soon recovered.

Han returned to Coruscant with his family during the final battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, working with the Jedi Knights and an Alliance infiltration team to reach the Citadel and eliminate Shimrra and Onimi. In the following years, Han and Leia rebuilt their relationship, but Han had to watch as Corellia became more and more independent. When Thrackan Sal-Solo made another bid for complete independence, some ten years after the end of the Yuuzhan Vong conflict, Han found himself vilified in the Corellia press as a lackey of the Galactic Alliance and a man who had betrayed his Corellian heritage. He found himself and Leia the targets of an assassination attempt that was funded by Thrackan, and which resulted in the capture of Ailyn Habuur. It also pushed Han into an uneasy alliance with his old nemesis, Boba Fett, as both discovered they were working toward a common goal: the elimination of Thrackan Sal-Solo.

Although they were ultimately successful in killing Thrackan, Han found nothing to be happy about, when he learned that his son, Jacen, had used a deadly Force technique to interrogate Habuur. Her death had been Jacen's fault, and showed Han just how far his son had fallen to the Dark Side of the Force. After learning that Habuur was actually Ailyn Vel, Fett's own daughter, Han and Leia arranged to have her body returned to Fett, but tried to keep the manner of her death a secret from the bounty hunter. However, Han was unable to stand by and watch his surviving son fall to the Dark Side of the Force. He confronted Jacen about Vel's death, stating in no uncertain terms that he wanted nothing to do with the person Jacen had become.

Han and Leia then returned to Corellia, believing that the Corellians were right in their beliefs, if not in their actions. After learning that the new Five World Prime Minister, Dur Gejjen, might have been involved in a plot to assassinate the Hapan Queen Mother, the Solos left Corellia to warn Tenel Ka of the danger. They found themselves wrapped up in the actual assassination, and were forced to flee Hapes when they were implicated in the plot, along with the actual assassin, Aurra Sing. They traveled with the bounty hunter to meet her employer, Lalu Morwan, and agreed to take Morwan back to Hapes when Aurra Sing was dispatched on another mission. This brought them back to Hapes in the midst of the Heritage Fleet's attempt to destroy the Hapan Royal Navy and take control of the Hapes Consortium.

They were badly outgunned, and with the Millennium Falcon already damaged from fleeing Hapes the first time, there was little they could do but avoid the fighting. This brought them into contact with their daughter Jaina, as well as Zekk and Ben Skywalker, who had been forced to evacuate their own ship in the middle of the battle. Realizing that the Solos were considered Corellian insurgents, Ben tried to arrest them as terrorists, but was stopped by Jaina and Zekk. Although the Solos were credited with helping warn the Hapans about the plotting of the Heritage Council, both Ben and Jacen Solo continued to regard them as criminals.

This did little to help Han's relationship with his son, and he spent the next few months wavering between attempting to communicate with Jacen and wanting to disown or even kill him. When soldiers from the Galactic Alliance Guard tried to arrest Han and Leia when they tried to enter the Jedi Temple for the funeral of Mara Jade Skywalker, they both realized that the time had come to do something about Jacen. This realization became a hardened resolve when Jacen tracked them to Kashyyyk and ordered orbital turbolaser strikes at the wroshyr forests and several cities, in an effort to force the Wookiees to turn his parents over for capture.

The Solos clashed with the Jedi over who should be responsible for bringing Jacen to justice, with Han arguing that he was Jacen's father, and therefore should be the one to go after Jacen. To help get his mind off the fact that Jacen was too much of a monster to still be his son, Han took the Millennium Falcon into the skies, to help the Wookiees put out the forest fires that raged across the surface of Kashyyyk. He was gladdened by the fact that Chewbacca's own son, Lumpawaroo, joined him in this effort. Once the fires were under control, Han and Leia formed a mission to infiltrate the Anakin Solo. Lando Calrissian loaned them the use of the Love Commander, which Leia piloted to the Star Destroyer. While she asked for an audience with Jacen, Han and the rest of the group - which included Jaina Solo, Zekk, and Jagged Fel - hid in the ship's cargo holds. They emerged once the ship had landed, and stole all manner of information from the Anakin Solo's computer banks, including navigational information on Jacen's travels. This information was later turned over to the Jedi, who hoped to finally bring Jacen to justice. Han and Leia then transported Jaina, Jagged Fel, and Zekk to Alema Rar's asteroid base, where the trio was able to defeat the Dark Jedi and eliminate her as a threat to the galaxy.

When the group returned to the temporary Jedi outpost on the Forest Moon of Endor, Han and Leia were dismayed to learn that Jacen had kidnapped Allana, the daughter of the Hapan Queen Mother. Han gladly turned the Millennium Falcon over to Jagged, who was leading the mission to rescue Allana, while he and Leia worked with Iella Antilles as the actual infiltration team. Their mission was eventually successful, and Allana was returned to her mother on Hapes. In the weeks that followed, Han came to the belief that his own son, Jacen, had died during the Yuuzhan Vong War, while trying to kill Onimi. He believed that the son he had raised had died from injuries suffered in the war, and that Darth Caedus was little more than a monster who had come to inhabit Jacen's empty shell. Thus, when Jaina Solo asked that she be allowed to hunt her brother down, Han would only agree if she openly stated that she was hunting down Darth Caedus. He also brought up the fact that Luke Skywalker had once called her the Sword of the Jedi, which had to mean something in the current situation.

Han and Leia accompanied Jaina on the first of these missions, during which Ben Skywalker was captured by Tahiri Veila on Coruscant. They were surprised to learn later that Luke had anticipated Ben's capture, but hadn't told them to ensure their reactions were genuine. Luke had been secretly altering Caedus' visions of the future, in order to hide Jaina's coming role. After learning that Caedus was on the Nickel One asteroid, they launched a second mission. Han and Leia piloted their attack ship, hoping to draw off the forces gathered there while Jaina was deployed to the asteroid in a dropsuit. They hung around long enough to extract Jaina after her confrontation with her brother, then fled to the Jedi base on Shedu Maad. There, they began planning for a final battle against Caedus.

When Jaina learned that her brother had followed her to the planet using a blood trail, Han was saddened to learn that his son had finally and utterly disappeared, leaving Darth Caedus in his body. Han and Leia then set about helping Luke Skywalker and the Jedi plan for the evacuation of Shedu Maad the fighting that followed. The Solos were part of a small strike team that was to infiltrate the Anakin Solo and rescue Prince Isolder of Hapes, but they were forced to turn back when the fighting got too intense. Han then returned to the Millennium Falcon to serve as the point ship that would rescue Jaina from the Anakin Solo. When they found Jaina clutching her brother's dead body, Han did everything he could to console his daughter, and later worked out his anger over the death of his son by helping the Jedi neutralize any enemy forces who refused to surrender.

When they confronted the surviving Moffs, and Luke offered them a chance to rejoin the Galactic Alliance, what little restraint Han still had was broken. He demanded that the Moffs pay for the death of Tenel Ka's daughter, Allana, but was confused when even Luke gave way to his demands. As it dawned on him that his need for revenge would not serve any use, Han used his anger to frighten the Moffs into using their considerable resources to help rebuild the galaxy, in exchange for their lives. In the years that followed, Han seemed to have an easier time letting go of his first son than Leia did, reconciling in his own mind that Jacen's death had been necessary for the good of the galaxy. He continued to tinker with the Millennium Falcon, and was more than surprised when Allana found a strange device lodged in one of the bulkheads. Without an idea about what it was, Han sparked Allana's imagination, and he reluctantly agreed to set out on an adventure to trace the complete history of the Millennium Falcon.

The adventure took them across the galaxy, to worlds like Taris, where Allana was briefly kidnapped by Seff Hellin. After rescuing his granddaughter, Han followed Vistal Purn's information to Obroa-skai, where he learned more about the ship from Parlay Thorp. Thorp's recollection of the ship led them to Vaced, where they hoped to meet Quip Fargil. However, Tobb Jadak had reached the planet first, on his own search for the whereabouts of the Stellar Envoy. Their paths crossed when Jadak, posing as Quip Fargil, realized that the Stellar Envoy was actually the <>Millennium Falcon. Still pretending to be Fargil, Jadak tried to enter his long-remembered code phrase into the ship's navigational computer, which set off the device Allana had found. It went off in Han's pocket, alerting him to Jadak's actions and giving him reason to suspect the man's motives. Jadak eventually confessed, but agreed to help the Solos track down whatever treasure he believed was linked to the Millennium Falcon. When the device was activated, the ship jumped to Tandun Three, where Han and Leia were intercepted by Lestra Oxic, who had been searching for Jadak and that treasure. The ship turned out to be a kind of key that opened one of the ruined temples on the planet's surface, where they discovered a counterfeit version of the Insignia of Unity. As the planet tore itself apart beneath their feet, Han and his family blasted away from the planet, leaving Oxic and Jadak to continue the search for the real Insignia of Unity.

However, a quick check of the incoming communications revealed a message that Chief of State Natasi Daala was planning to have Luke Skywalker arrested for dereliction of duty, after the new Jedi Order secluded itself on Shedu Maad. With their adventure completed, Han and his family set off to see what they could do to help Luke, which turned out to be relatively little, since he had accepted the charges against him and submitted himself to the judgement of the courts. Luke accepted a ten-year exile from the Jedi Order in order to preserve the Jedi, but Han and Leia had little time to question his decision. An incoming transmission from Lando Calrissian on Kessel revealed that the planet had been experiencing strange earthquakes, and Lando hoped that the Solos might help investigate their source. With Allana by their side, Han and Leia traveled to Kessel, where they discovered that the planet was riddled with strange caves that were hidden deep in its core. These caves were filled with even stranger machinery that was linked in a vast network, and Leia was able to learn through the Force that this network of machinery had reached the end of its functionality, and was about to self-destruct. When Lando indicated that he wanted to save Kessel, Han suggested a daring plan to destroy the various parts of the self-destruct system in a random order, thereby preventing the complete destruction of Kessel.

Although this plan was carried out with a great deal of success, Han was forced to face his fear of energy spiders - which stemmed from his imprisonment on Kessel many years earlier - and managed to overcome it when he realized that the creatures were simply part of the planet's ecosystem. Part of his newfound view of the energy spiders came from Allana's own assessment of the creatures, since she came to believe that they were evil. Han was forced to explain that the energy spiders weren't evil because they attacked anything that generated power, just hungry.

Hoping to restore some form of normalcy to their lives following the events on Kessel, Han and Leia returned to Coruscant with Allana. Believing that a pet might help their granddaughter, the Solos took Allana to the Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition. Unfortunately, one of their Jedi escorts, Natua Wan, experienced an episode similar to that of Valin Horn and Seff Hellin, and tried to kill the Solo family, believing them to be imposters. Natua Wan opened the cages containing dangerous creatures, forcing the Solos to kill the otherwise innocent creatures in order to protect themselves and the other beings at the exhibit. They eventually took in an orphaned nexu cub as a pet for Allana, after Leia explained that it was probably the right thing to do. Allana's reaction to this event was to worry that she might also fall victim to the Force-related psychoses that were affecting young Jedi, but Han and Leia both assured her that she wold be safe with them. In the days that followed, the Solos received a secured communication from Wynn Dorvan, who revealed to them that Chief of State Daala was planning to hire a group of Mandalorians to deal with the Jedi Order. They were led to believe that Jagged Fel had been aware of this decision, and they confronted Jaina with this knowledge. Jaina initially played innocent, but eventually acknowledged that Jagged had alredy told her about it, and had sworn her to secrecy. Both Han and Leia became angry that they had not been alerted to this knowledge, despite Jaina's assertions that Jagged was only acting in the best interests of the Imperial Remnant by withholding the information.

Solo, Jacen
Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo's first son, Jacen was born five minutes after his sister, Jaina. The twins were born on Coruscant some five years after the Battle of Endor, in the midst of Grand Admiral Thrawn's attempt to take control of the galaxy. He was very strong with the Force, and had the special ability to communicate with animals.

When he and his sister turned fourteen, they were allowed to attend Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. While there, Jacen developed an extensive collection of the jungle moon's exotic fauna, many of which escaped the cages built for them by Jaina. When he finally constructed his own lightsaber, Jacen chose focusing stones which produced a glowing, emerald green blade. He later trained directly with Luke himself, as Luke began moving the new Jedi Knights back to the pre-Empire style of teaching. Luke also trained Jacen's brother, Anakin, although both brothers had different ideas on what the future of the Jedi should be.

Jacen agreed with Luke, that the formation of a new Jedi Council would help bring the vigilantes under control. Jacen also believed more in the spiritual aspects of the Force, while Anakin held to the physical uses of the Force. They fought often, verbally and with lightsabers, both claiming their intense sessions were simply training.

He traveled with his younger brother to Centerpoint Station, just before the Battle of Fondor, but urged Anakin not to use the Force to fire the station's main repulsor. When Thrackan Sal-Solo fired it instead, and nearly destroyed the combined Republic and Hapan fleets, Jacen felt himself lost in his struggle to understand the Force. After having an intense vision of the galaxy, teetering on a single balance point that he alone controlled, Jacen tried to stop using the Force altogether. His family tried to bring him out of this mental state, but Jacen doggedly refused.

However, when his mother was threated by the Yuuzhan Vong on Duro, Jacen realized that he had reached the balance point in his vision. Drawing on the Force, he managed to escape with his mother and get her to safety. During the escape, Jacen badly injured the Yuuzhan Vong Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, earning him a position of hatred among the alien invaders. When the Yuuzhan Vong learned that Jacen and Jaina were twins - an event which was rare in Yuuzhan Vong births, and indicated an omen from the gods - both siblings were targeted for capture and eventual sacrifice.

Shortly afterward, Jacen and his siblings joined the Jedi strike team which was sent ot Myrkr to locate and destroy the voxyn queen. When Anakin was killed aboard the Baanu Rass, Jacen found that his sister blamed him for Anakin's death, despite the fact that Anakin gave specific orders to reach the queen. Eventually, the Jedi were able to defeat the voxyn queen, but Jacen was captured when Vergere betrayed him to the Yuuzhan Vong.

Despite her changing allegiance, Vergere provided Jacen with several of her healing "tears," to help prepare him for the torture he was about to receive after his capture. The rest of the strike team fled, vowing to rescue Jacen at the soonest possible moment. However, once in the Hapes Cluster aboard the Trickster, Jaina and the others received a wave of anguish through the Force that seemed to indicate Jacen's death. Jacen, however, had been taken aboard a Yuuzhan Vong seedship and secured in a modified Embrace of Pain by Vergere, as part of something known as the Solo Project. Vergere and Nom Anor hoped to turn him to the Yuuzhan Vong's True Way, and he was held in the Embrace of Pain for many months. Vergere, in an effort to eliminate his reliance on the Force, took away his link to the Force and forced him to recognize other ways of tapping into its energy. This was the "death" Jaina and other Jedi felt. Jacen began to understand the pain could eventually be overcome and used to his advantage, and that the Force was not simply black and white.

Vergere's lessons taught him that the Yuuzhan Vong existed in another facet of the Force's energy, and that there were more grey areas than Jacen had ever believed possible. Upon his release from the Embrace of Pain, Jacen discovered he was aboard a seedship, where he was bound as a slave to an immature dhuryam. Jacen developed a relationship with the future World Brain, and eventually discovered that he could tap resources within the Force that he never knew existed. When the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat occurred, Jacen chose his time to strike at his captors. Never truly turned to the True Way, Jacen tried to destroy the World Brains before one could be inserted into Coruscant's new environment. Vergere interferred, playing on his emotions to stop Jacen from killing the dhuryam which had become his "friend".

Jacen awoke to find himself on Coruscant, now renamed Yuuzhan'tar in honor of the original Yuuzhan Vong homeworld, along with Vergere. They were hunted by the warriors assigned to Master Shaper Ch'Gang Hool, and forced to accept the Ture Way. He then put into motion his next plant, tocapture Ganner Rhysode. Ganner had been searching for Jacen, who lured him into the chamber of a camp ship and captured him. Once on Coruscant, Jacen subtly explained that he was worked with the Yuuzhan Vong in order to gain their confidence. Them he planned to use the World Brain to act as his agent on Coruscant. Ganner gave his life to keep Jacen alive long enough to gain access to the World Brain, which had been the dhuyram he befriended. Jacen asked the World Brain to help him monitor the situation on Coruscant, then he fled the planet with Vergere.

Jacen later returned to Master Skywalker, who accepted his return and allowed him to return to work with the Jedi Knights. He tried to listen to Vergere's words and advice on the nature of his destiny within the Force, but when his sister Jaina was in danger during the Battle of Ebaq, Jacen blindly raced to her rescue. He was trapped by Yuuzhan Vong in the mines of Ebaq 9, and only Vergere's sacrifice allowed him to survive. He eventually reached Jaina, where they were attacked by Tsavong Lah. Jaina managed to defeat the Warmaster in combat, and the twins were rescued by New Republic forces. Jacen then commited himself to reconciling the Yuuzhan Vong with his definition of the Force, and vowed to honor Vergere's memory by working to fulfill his destiny. As part of this personal mission, Jacen agreed to accompany his Uncle Luke and Aunt Mara on a mission into the Unknown Regions, in a search for the planet Zonama Sekot. He had learned of the planet from Vergere, and hoped that his connection to her would help their cause.

Upon finding the planet in the Klasse Ephemora System, Sekot initially refused to help them. In a series of devious tests, the living part of the planet separated Jacen from Luke and tried to learn their true motives for coming to Zonama Sekot. Eventually, both Luke and Jacen convinced the planet they were seeking a peaceful end to the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. Sekot then agreed to accompany them back to the galaxy, in an effort to find a way to end the war. Upon reverting to realspace near Coruscant, Jacen found himself once again in the company of his family. Han, Leia, and Jaina had been dispatched to meet them, and the family was briefly reunited before returning to the war. Jacen and his sister accompanied their uncle Luke to the surface of Coruscant, in an effort to gain access to the Citadel and bring Supreme Overlord Shimrra to justice. Jacen was able to reach the mind of the World Brain which was controlling the planet, and was able to calm it down and put a stop to the destruction it was causing on the surface.

When they group entered Shimrra's throneroom, they were beset by a group of fifteen Slayers, and only Jacen's link to the World Brain allowed them any measure of success. When Jaina set out to capture Onimi, Jacen found himself facing the remaining Slayers, who had abandoned Luke so that Shimrra himself could destroy the Jedi Master. After Shimrra's defeat, Jacen left Luke in Mara's capable hands and set out to locate his sister, only to be assailed by Onimi. Jacen suddenly realized that Onimi was perhaps the most powerful of all Yuuzhan Vong, since he had managed to tap into the Force in a way that no other individual could. His own Shaping had somehow reconnected him to the Force, and gave him powerful abilities as a Shaper and as a fighter. Jacen was forced to fend off all manner of projectiles, then had to find a way to neutralize the poisons that Onimi created to kill him. Drawing on the power of the Force, Jacen understood that only a complete surrender to its energy would save. In this state, Jacen was able to fight off whatever Onimi threw at him, realizing that he had finally found the truth about the Force and the way in which a Jedi should connect to it. He became simply a living conduit for the power of the Force, embracing neither good nor evil but simply existing within it. In this manner, Jacen was able to eradicate the evil and greed within Onimi, killing the Shamed One in the process.

With the Yuuzhan Vong surrender at Coruscant, the war was ended and the Galactic Alliance set out to restore as much of it as possible. Jacen decided to set out in search of other Force users - such as the Jensaarai, the Sunesi, and the Fallanassi - to deepen his already vast knowledge of the Unifying Force. This exploration allowed him to acknowledge the call of UnuThul but resist becoming a Joiner, when the Colony began its expansion in the Unknown Regions. He remained neutral in the growing conflict, hoping that the Force would guide him to a resolution. However, he experienced a terrible vision of the galaxy in flames, which left him without any clear path. Added to his confusion was the revelation that an evening spent with Tenel Ka at the start of the Qoribu Crisis had produced a daughter, which Jacen discovered about a year later.

While trying to piece all of this together, Jacen realized that the Force was calling on him to save his daughter - and the rest of the galaxy - from destruction at the hands of the Killiks. He then turned his efforts to eradicating the Dark Nest before it could launch the war he had seen in his vision. He agreed to accompany Jaina on a mission to disable Supply Depot Thrago, in an effort to provoke the Chiss into attacking the Colony, knowing that the Chiss had built up enough military power to defeat the Killiks. All the Chiss needed was an excuse to launch their attack. Jaina and Jacen were able to gather several Jedi together to launch the mission, but Jaina recoiled when she discovered that Jacen was also planning to exterminate the Colony to avoid seeing his vision come true. Jacen continued pursue any means necessary to ensure his vision didn't become a reality, including attacking a convoy of Colony ships that were traveling to the Nickel One asteroid.

Despite the fact that the Killiks were on a mission ot overthrow the Verpine government, Jacen had been forbidden to fire first by Master Skywalker. Jacen later accompanied Master Skywalker on his mission to eliminate Lomi Plo and cut off Raynar Thul from the Colony. In the Gorog nest ship over Sarm, Jacen was rendered unconscious when his StealthX crashed inside the ship. He recovered, but was stabbed in the abdomen by Lomi Plo's lightsaber. He eventually recovered from his wounds, and returned to Ossus with Master Skywalker.

Jacen later took on the task of training Ben Skywalker in the ways of the Force, when Luke discovered that Ben seemed to open up more to Jacen than anyone else. Jacen gladly accepted the task, and was able to help Ben come to understand his relationship to the Force. Jacen's own beliefs continued to evolve, and he came to understand that a Jedi could kill another being if it was deemed the right thing to do by the Force. When he and Ben were dispatched to investigate the Dammant Killers weapons facility on Adumar, Jacen found that he could kill the soldiers guarding a secret weapons production site, since they were dealing with violent customers and would become one with the Force after their deaths. This continuing adjustment in Jacen's view of the Force led him to have serious misgivings about the way his Uncle Luke was handling things, a belief that he only discussed with his parents.

His views were even more skewed when he and Nelani Dinn discovered that Brisha Syo was actually Lumiya. The female Dark Jedi tried to lure him into a position to become a benevolent Sith Lord, in the mold of Darth Vectivus. She provided an explanation that led to the conclusions that Luke had been corrupted by the light side of the Force, and that Vergere had actually been a Sith. She then explained that the dark man Luke was seeing in his visions was actually Jacen, after he accepted his fate as the next Sith Lord. Jacen allowed the Force to flow with her words, and suddenly saw a pathway that led to his killing of Master Skywalker. Realizing that he needed to avoid this possible future, Jacen understood that he had to eliminate anything that might lead up to it.

Unfortunately, one of the many individuals who nudged the future to this conclusion was Nelani, and Jacen ruthlessly stabbed her in the chest to prevent any trouble. After returning to Coruscant, Jacen came to believe that Lumiya was right, and that he needed to pursue the knowledge of the Sith. In all his travels, Jacen had learned a great deal about the Force, and the only gap in his knowledge was an understanding of the ancient Sith lore. Thus, he came to realize that he had to accept Lumiya's offer of training. In the meantime, though, Jacen became involved with the Coruscant Security Force when Corellian terrorists began attacking non-military positions on Coruscant. His ability to tap into the Force gave him an edge in tracking down insurgents, as did his connection to the World Brain on the planet. Thus, he was the perfect choice to lead the newly-formed Galactic Alliance Guard, a move that brought a promotion to Colonel as well as the consternation of both his parents and the new Jedi Order.

His fall toward the Dark Side was precipitated by several events, including his beating and killing of Ailyn Habuur while using a Force technique to coerce her during an interrogation. This event gave Ben Skywalker and Lon Shevu a reason to doubt Jacen's intentions, and caused his father to turn his back on Jacen, claiming that he no longer knew who his son was. As his father left him on Corellia, Jacen realized that his destiny was with the Sith, but he vowed not to fall into the same traps that led to his grandfather's transformation to Darth Vader. He vowed to use his powers for the good of galaxy. For reasons unknown, Jacen began wearing a flowing black cape, instead of the normal brown cape of the Jedi, which made him appear more and more like Vader.

When he learned that an assassination attempt had been made on the life of Tenel Ka, Jacen was able to put enough pieces together to link the assassination to the Corellian insurgents, and secured the use of the Anakin Solo before traveling to Hapes. There, he found himself ordering the Star Destroyer's crew to fire on the Millennium Falcon, after hearing of the presence of his parents at the assassination attempt. Jacen felt no remorse at nearly killing his own parents, a fact that didn't escape the notice of Luke Skywalker or many of the other Jedi.

Jacen's reputation as a galactic hero was heightened in the wake of his assistance in defending the Queen Mother from the Heritage Council's treacherous plans, giving him even more power within the Galactic Alliance. However, with this power and fame came dreams of his own mother sacrficing her own life to ensure his death, and only the recognition of the fact that he could sacrifice any member of his family in order to ensure the safety of Allana gave him any solace.

Jacen continued to pursue the path of the Sith, while trying to maintain the image of the loyal leader of the Galactic Alliance Guard, but he continued to harbor reservations about the way in which he was to achieve a level of mastery over the Sith way. According to Lumiya, he was going to have to sacrifice someone he loved. He feared that this person might be Tenel Ka or Allana, but in the wake of the Battle of Gilatter Eight, he came to understand that he might have to sacrifice one or both of this parents in order to achieve his destiny. Upon returning to Coruscant, however, Jacen's concern about the Prophecy bacame directed at Ben Skywalker, whom Lumiya had deemed too weak to serve as Jacen's apprentice in the wake of his mission to recover the Amulet of Kalara.

Jacen's control of the Force continued to grow, to the point that he could permanently close down his presence in the Force, making himslef virtually invisible to other Jedi Knights. This was of no small concern to Luke Skywalker and the other Jedi Masters, although this concern turned to fear when Jacen taught the skill to Luke's son, Ben. For his own part, Jacen remained protective of his apprentice, and grew angry with Lumiya when she set Byalfin Dyur and his thugs on the young man's trail during the search for the Amulet of Kalara.

During this time, Jacen discovered a wealth of new information about the inner workings of the government from his administrative droid, HM-3. The droid showed Jacen how to subtly amend the laws in ways that gave him unprecedented power and control, and Jacen took advantage of them. He first had HM-3 craft the Legislative and Regulations Statute Amendment, which gave the leaders of the Galactic Alliance the ability to alter laws as they saw fit, provided that the changes kept the government within its budgetary constraints. It also provided Jacen with a way to amend the law enough to give him the right to remove any individual he believed could pose a genuine risk to the Galactic Alliance, a law that he invoked after learning that Cal Omas had been secretly dealing with Dur Gejjen.

He dispatched Ben Skywalker and a pair of GAG agents to Vulpter to assassinate Gejjen, then confronted Omas when he returned, having him jailed for attempting to undermine the laws of the Galactic Alliance. Thus, Jacen found himself and Cha Niathal in control of the government, with the rest of the galaxy under martial law until the crisis could be averted. He assumed the role of Chief of State, even though Niathal had Omas' office sealed until the end of the crisis.

As the need to make his sacrifice and complete his Sith training drew near, Jacen became aware that the sacrifice could have been any number of people he cared about. He made a secret trip to Hapes to see Tenel Ka and their daughter, Allana, and was unaware that he was followed by his aunt Mara, Lumiya, and Ben Skywalker. Mara revealed herself first, setting off a starfighter duel in their StealthX ships. Lumiya arrived later, using her Sith Meditation Sphere to damage Mara's ship and force her to land on Kavan.

On the remote world, Jacen found himself in a struggle for his life. Mara used the tunnels and ruins to her advantage, ambushing Jacen and shattering his right knee. As he went down in pain, Mara drew her blaster and fired at him. Unwilling to die then, Jacen drew on the Force to deflect the blaster bolt and injure Mara with the rubble it created. After a brief struggle, Jacen managed to take a poisoned dart from his belt and jab it into Mara's leg. She died swiftly, creating a shift in the energies of the Force that Jacen knew would bring Luke Skywalker to hunt him down.

Jacen fled to Ziost, where he was reunited with Lumiya. Lumiya agreed to intercept Luke and make him believe that she had killed Mara, while Jacen returned to Coruscant to resume his ascendance. Jacen returned to Kavan, where he helped Ben recover his mother's body, and vowed to help Ben locate Mara's killer. In his heart, Jacen realized that the prophesy of "immortalizing his love" had not meant that Jacen would have to kill someone he loved. Instead, it meant that he had immortalized Ben's love - that of his own mother - and that it would plant the seeds for Ben to become a great Sith. It was then that he realized that his journey was complete. Jacen accepted his fate as a Sith Lord, becoming known as Darth Caedus.

Jacen spent the following weeks consolidating his power and struggling to keep his role in Mara's murder a secret. He was confronted by his former apprentice, Ben Skywalker, who firmly believed that Jacen was the killer. He also found himself under intense scrutiny from Luke Skywalker himself, although the Grand Master of the Jedi did not immediately accuse Jacen of the crime, even after Mara's body disappeared into the Force when Jacen suddenly appeared at her funeral. In the aftermath of the funeral, Jacen was confronted for allowing GAG soldiers into the Jedi Temple, on a mission to capture his own parents. Jacen explained that he had received word of a possible Bothan bombing attempt, and that he had every right to track down the "terrorists" his parents had become. Jacen also spent several weeks coming to terms with his new title, and struggled to consider himself solely as Darth Caedus.

This internal struggle continued when Jacen learned that his parents were being harbored by the Wookiees on Kashyyyk, and was enhanced when Grand Master Skywalker defected the Jedi Order from the Galactic Alliance and fled to Kashyyyk. His fall toward fully becoming Darth Caedus culminated at Kashyyyk, where he launched an unprovoked attack on the planet, then was forced to confront Master Skywalker in combat. Jacen was badly injured in the fight, having been soundly defeated by Luke and then suffering a vibroblade injury from Ben, but used his pain and anger to shed his old identity and accept his role as Darth Caedus. It took several days for him to recover, many of which he spent meditating on his new-found identity.

Outwardly, the rest of the galaxy still saw him as Jacen Solo, a situation that required Caedus to tread a fine line. It was only after he had reconciled the death of Mara Jade Skywalker as a necessary act of self-defense was he able to admit to Cha Niathal and Lonb Shevu that he was, in fact, a Sith Lord who was known as Darth Caedus.

Solo, Jaina
Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo's first child, Jaina was born on Coruscant some five years after the Battle of Endor. She was five minutes older than her twin brother, Jacen, and was equally strong with the Force. She had certain mechanical abilities, much like her father, but not as strong as her brother, Anakin. When she and Jacen attended Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, at the age of 14, she collected all sorts of old technology from the original Alliance base, using some of it to create cages for Jacen's exotic collection of creatures. Others she kept to see if she can repair them. Jaina created a lightsaber of violet light while studying at Yavin 4. She later trained directly with Mara Jade, after Mara's marriage to Luke, when Luke began moving the new Jedi Knights back to the pre-Empire style of teaching. A real student of the Force, Jaina found it hard to be around her mother when she tried to use the Force. Jaina felt that Leia used her skills with the Force as a kind of toy, nothing really serious and often clumsy in operation.

During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Jaina put her skills with the Force to work as a member of Rogue Squadron, flying an X-Wing into battle against the aliens. She survived a number of engagements, but was forced to eject from her fighter during the defense of Kalarba. She was caught in the explosion of the Champion, and suffered blinding damage to her eyes which left her with fuzzy vision for several weeks. She was shipped off to Duro, to make room for more desparate injuries, and helped her father in the evacuation of Settlement Thirty-two. Over time, her eyesight returned, and Jaina longed to get back into the cockpit. However, her status as a Jedi Knight forced Gavin Darklighter to place her on extended leave, in order to appease the politicians of the Senate. Jaina agreed to be part of the Jedi strike team which was dispatched to Myrkr to eliminate the voxyn queen, along with both of her brothers. She was unprepared for the losses the Jedi took just to infiltrate the Baanu Rass, and was overcome when Anakin was killed aboard the worldship. She openly blamed Jacen for Anakin's death, claiming that Jacen left him to die. In her anger over the loss of Anakin and her blame of Jacen, Jaina briefly turned to the Dark Side of the Force. She conjured up an intense storm of Force lightning when a Yuuzhan Vong nearly killed her, utterly destroying the alien attacker without remorse.

After finally destroying the voxyn queen, the Jedi were forced to flee the worldship in order to return to Eclipse. Jacen, however, had been captured by the double-crossing Vergere, and Jaina was forced to leave him with the Yuuzhan Vong in order to save the rest of the team. She vowed to rescue her brother, despite her earlier animosity toward him. The Jedi stole the frigate Ksstarr, which Jaina later renamed the Trickster, and headed to Hapes. There, they hoped to learn as much as they could about the frigate and Yuuzhan Vong technology. However, Jaina became caught up in the political intrigue of Hapan life, and the former Queen Mother Ta'a Chume chose Jaina to server as her protégé. Jaina didn't fully realize her position, but used it to gain access to Sinsor Khal and the scientists on Gallinore, who created lab-grown version of Yuuzhan Vong yorik coral.

As Jaina sank deeper into the plans of Ta'a Chume, her friends worried that she was slipping further toward the Dark Side of the Force, especially after she agreed to train under Kyp Durron. After the fall of Coruscant, Jaina was groomed by the Inner Circle on Borleias to become the incarnate version of Yun-Harla, in an effort to trick the Yuuzhan Vong. It was during this time that she also admitted her feelings for Jagged Fel. Jaina was also promoted to the rank of Major in the New Republic military for her work at Hapes and Borleias, then to Lieutenant Colonel following the Battle of Ebaq.

She was given command of a full battle group during the defense of Esfandia when, as the ranking Jedi Knight, she was requested by Captain Todra Mayn to coordinate the combined forces of the Galactic Alliance and the Imperial Remnant. After the near defeat at Bilbringi, as part of Operation Trinity, Jaina was recalled to Mon Calamari. As the Galactic Alliance planned its final move in the ongoing war - a strike at Coruscant itself - Jaina was reunited with her parents. Together, they were dispatched to Coruscant ahead of the main fleet, when the living planet Zonama Sekot suddenly reappeared in orbit between Coruscant and Muscave.

The Solo family was briefly reunited on Zonama Sekot before returning to the war. Jaina and her brother accompanied their uncle Luke to the surface of Coruscant, in an effort to gain access to the Citadel and bring Supreme Overlord Shimrra to justice. Jacen was able to reach the mind of the World Brain which was controlling the planet, and was able to calm it down and put a stop to the destruction it was causing on the surface. Upon entering Shimrra's throneroom, they were beset by a group of fifteen Slayers, and only Jacen's link to the World Brain allowed them any measure of success.

Following the will of the Force, Jaina left the main battle and set out to capture Onimi, who had fled the chamber. She failed to consider the Shamed One's ingenuity, and Onimi was able to subdue Jaina with ease when he used his fang to inject her with a mild toxin. He then dragged her into the command chamber of the Citadel's escape craft and set out to flee Coruscant. Jacen, however, pursued them through the Citadel and into the escape craft, confronting Onimi with the pure power of the Force. Jaina tried to lend her brother some help, but Jacen fought on his own, allowing Jaina to concentrate on healing herself.

After the deaths of Onimi and Shimrra, the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong force at Coruscant surrendered to the Galactic Alliance, bringing the war to an end. Despite Jag's admission of his love for her, Jaina decided that it was not yet time for her to settle down. She told Jag that she had to ensure that the galaxy would be a better place for future generations, especially her own children. Jaina and Jag shared one final, passionate kiss before going their separate ways.

Five years later, when UnuThul sent out his call for help, Jaina was among seven young Jedi who dropped whatever mission they were currently on and traveled to the Unknown Regions to answer the call. She joined the Colony and led much of the effort to defend the various hives from the Chiss, and was dismayed when UnuThul demanded that the Jedi leave the Colony before they were injured in the coming battle with the Chiss. Because of his joining with the Unu hive, Jaina found herself suddenly sharing emotions with Zekk, and the pair realized that there was a deep level of attraction between them. Although nothing came of their pairing following the Dance of Union, they discovered that their relationship had been moved to a much deeper level than ever before. They remained connected in ways that were both exciting and frightening, but neither Jaina nor Zekk tried to break it off.

With the resolution of the Qoribu Crisis, Jaina and Zekk worked together on many missions to protect the Galactic Alliance, but Jaina found herself in a bad position after Jacen had a vision in which the galaxy was in flame because of the growth of the Gorog hive. She had convinced him to accompany her Jedi on a secret mission to attack Supply Depot Thrago, in an effort to make the Chiss think that the attack had come from the Gorog. Jaina and Zekk simply wanted to eliminate the Gorog without harming the rest of the Colony. Jacen, however, believed that the entire Colony had to be eliminated in order to avoid any future trouble. The knowledge of Jacen's plans hit Jaina like a blaster bolt, and although they completed the mission at Thrago, she vowed never to work him again.

It was during this time that Jaina also realized that her bond with Zekk had become something too powerful to resist. They became mind-mates, forever linked to each other through the Force and through the hive minds of Joiners. Their bond was deep enough that they were able to resist Master Skywalker's Force call to return to Ossus, when Luke was forced to accept the role of Grand Master of the Jedi. They remained on Tenupe, where they aided the various Killik hives in their struggle against the Chiss. While Zekk took control of the air support forces, Jaina helped direct the ground assault against various Chiss bulwarks.

In the wake of the Battle of Tenupe, Jaina was among the many Joiners who had to deal with separation from their hive, although the specialized headgear created by Cilghal helped to ease her transition. She retained her deep-seated link to Zekk, although both had to explain to friends and family that they were just friends.

Seven years later, Jaina was forced to confront the fact that her twin brother was falling to the Dark Side of the Force when she was forced accept his leadership of Rogue Squadron, during the blockade of the Corellian System. She had worked hard to earn her rank, and suddenly Jacen had insinuated himself as a Colonel in the military. Then, when she refused an order to fire on a retreating civilian starship, Jacen remvoed her from active duty, pending a court-martial for disobeying his orders. She put her feelings aside during the blockade, but barely contained her frustration when off-duty.

When she was finally relieved of her duties as a fighter pilot by the Galactic Alliance military, Jaina returned to the new Jedi Order and took on the role of a reconnaissance fighter pilot, working with Zekk to infiltrate the Kiris Asteroid Cluster and gather intelligence data on the Corellian shipyards there. Upon returning to Coruscant, Jaina found herself assigned by Grand Master Skywalker to the task force that was hunting down Alema Rar. Jaina initially balked at the assignment, after learning that the task force leader was none other than Jagged Fel. She agreed to join the team, however, since she would be working with Zekk. The group dynamic was often strained, as both men tried to gain favor with Jaina.

Their mission took them to Ossus, where they were caught up in Major Serpa's kidnapping of the Jedi students there. Jaina and Jag were apprehended inside the facility, while Zekk remained hidden outside in his ship. They were able to finally confront Serpa, keeping him busy while Zekk infiltrated the facility and attacked Serpa from behind. With Serpa dispatched, they lent what aid they could to Kam and Tionne Solusar. Jaina then rushed to Kashyyyk to bring word of the attack on Ossus to Master Skywalker.

There, Jaina took up the controls of a starfighter again, filling Tahiri Veila's place in the Night Blades Squadron during the defense of Kashyyyk from her brother's savage assault. She served as Master Skywalker's wingman, but was devastated when laser fire meant for her brother struck Luke's fighter and destroyed it. She felt the wave of anguish in the Force that could only mean Luke's death, and was unaware that Luke had staged the entire episode in order to infiltrate the Anakin Solo and confront Jacen. When Luke was unable to defeat Jacen, Jaina became more and more convinced that her role as the Sword of the Jedi was to defeat her brother and restore peace to the galaxy. This belief consumed her life, and she trained as hard as she could to prepare herself for the coming fight.

Jaina, Zekk, and Jag accompanied Han and Leia Solo on a mission to infiltrate the Anakin Solo and recover navigational data and other information about Jacen's movements. Jaina and Zekk hid their presence in the Force by carrying an ysalamiri with them when the arrived aboard the Love Commander. Although the mission failed to eliminate Jacen's threat, it allowed the Jedi to know that they could get close enough to Jacen to eventually take him down. Upon returning from the mission, Jaina, Jagged, and Zekk picked up their pursuit of Alema Rar, this time with the help of Han and Leia Solo. The group tracked Alema Rar to her asteroid base in the MZX32905 System. Their plan was for Jaina, Zekk, and Jag to split up and divide Alema Rar's attention, hoping that the Twi'lek would expend energy trying to maintain several Force phantoms at one time. While Zekk and Jagged were beset by phantoms, Jaina found herself confronting the real Alema Rar, and offered her a chance to surrender. Alema refused, then set off to locate Jag. Jag then ordered Jaina and Zekk to escape the asteriod, while he set in motion a plan to draw Alema Rar into an explosive-laden trap.

Before the asteroid was destroyed, Jaina and Zekk managed to return to the Millennium Falcon, but there was no word from Jag as the asteroid shook itself apart. A short time later, though, he managed to reach the Millennium Falcon to report on Alema Rar's death. They traveled to the Forest Moon of Endor, where the Jedi had established a temporary base, and provided Jagged and Zekk with medical treatment. On the moon, Jaina finally realized that she truly loved Jag as a friend, a realization that allowed them to both to achieve a deeper relationship. While Jagged took command of a mission to rescue Tenel Ka's daughter, Allana, Jaina agreed to serve as Rakehell Nine on a mission to disable Centerpoint Station.

Although Centerpoint was eliminated as a threat, Jacen continued to gain power, bringing Jaina to the realization that she was going to have to do something to stop her brother. She took a huge risk and traveled to Mandalore, where she hoped that Boba Fett would agree to train her as a bounty hunter. Jaina believed that the only way for her to defeat Jacen was to come at him with skills he himself did not possess, and she believed that Fett could teach them to her. Fett eventually agreed to train her, but allowed Goran Beviin and other soldiers to add to his teaching, giving Jaina a more rounded view of what it meant to be a Mandalorian.

Jaina's first taste of Mandalorian combat came not on the gorund, but in space, when she joined Mirta Gev and the crew of the Tra'kad during a mission to defend the Imperial forces that were helping the Galactic Alliance capture the planet Fondor. During the mission, Jaina was given a chance to fly one of the new Bes'uliik-class starfighters that were being produced by the Mandalorians. Jaina was with the first wave of Mandalorians who boarded the Bloodfin, since she felt the presence of Tahiri Veila aboard the ship. Unfortunately, Tahiri managed to escape with Jacen Solo's help, and Jaina was forced to return to Mandalore knowing that her brother was till at large.

Upon returning to Mandalore, Jaina reveled with her newfound friends at the wedding of Mirta Gev and Ghes Orade, using her skills with the Force to crack open bottles of net'ra gal for her fellow soldiers. Jaina was surprised when Mirta later tried to defend Jacen's actions, explaining that his actions might have simply been brought on by the tragedies and events in his life. With this out in the open, both women agreed to never fight on opposing armies, or avoid each other if they had to. She also spent some time with Gotab, who was actually the former Jedi Knight, Bardan Jusik. After discussing his reasons for leaving the Jedi order, they talked about what the new Jedi needed to do to eliminate Jacen Solo. Jaina came to realize that the only way should would be able to kill Jacen was if she did it out of love. If she acted out of a sense of justice or righteousness, Jaina felt that she would never actually defeat her brother. Gotab went on to say that she needed to eliminate herself from the equation, and simply remove a power-hungry monster from the galaxy.

In the coming weeks, Jaina was part of a Mandalorian mission to the Nickel One asteroid, to establish a Mandalorian presence to protect the Verpine munitions factories there. It was in the wake of an Imperial Remnant attack on the asteroid that Jaina finally parted ways with Boba Fett, and set off to finally confront her twin brother. Before she began her hunt, however, she traveled to the new Jedi base on Shedu Maad to discuss the galactic situation and hopefully gain the support of the Jedi Council for her mission. She believed that she had a chance when Grand Master Luke Skywalker refused to hunt down Jacen himself, stating that he had already passed too close to the Dark Side of the Force in killing Lumiya. She explained that her connection to Jacen, her training with the Mandalorians, and the belief that what was left of Jacen Solo might balk at killing her, gave her the advantages she needed to bring Darth Caedus down. It was her final acknowledgement that she couldn't go off on her own without the sanctioning of the Jedi Masters that tipped the scales in her favor, although Jaina was both relieved and frightened when her parents agreed to accompany her on the mission.

The initial stage of the mission involved a trip to Coruscant, where they hoped to sneak in and gather any intelligence from Lon Shevu. However, Ben Skywalker and Shevu were both captured by Tahiri Veila, forcing Jaina and her parents to return to Shedu Maad with bad news. They were surprised when Luke seemed to have already foreseen Ben's capture, and Jaina was more than a bit upset that he hadn't warned them about it. Luke then revealed that he needed their reactions to be pure, because he had been using the Force to alter Caedus' own visions of the future. Jaina then accepted the primary role in a mission to capture Caedus on the Nickel One asteroid. She learned how to hide herself from the Force, so that her brother would be unaware of her presence until the last moment. Like the Coruscant mission, she was accompanied by her parents, as well as Saba Sebatyne and Master Skywalker himself.

Once on the asteroid's surface, Jaina was reunited with Mirta Gev and a Mandalorian named Vatok, who were part of a force that had been assembled by Boba Fett to try and free the Verpine who had been enslaved by the Imperial Remnant. Using the technique Jacen had taught Ben Skywalker for hiding in the Force, Jaina infiltrated the asteroid's main complex and confronted her brother in the Strategic Planning Forum. Caedus was unaware that he was actually fighting his sister; since Master Skywalker was using the Force to alter his perception of his enemy, Caedus believed that he was actually fighting Master Skywalker again. This, coupled with Jaina's new fighting skills, gave her an edge of unpredictability that helped her gain the early advantage. Caedus managed to get in several good hits, forcing Jaina to the ground, then dropped Vatok's dead body on top of her. He then tried to explode a fragmentation grenade on her, but Jaina managed to draw upon the Force and send it back at him.

She used the brief interruption to throw off Vatok's body, but took up his beskad and attacked her brother again. With one savage blow, she cleaved off her brother's arm, but was so surprised at this turn that she was flung against the far wall by Caedus' Force lightning. In that instant, Jaina's pain forced her to drop her Force control, and Caedus realized that he had been fighting his sister all along. It was then that Master Skywalker projected the illusion that he was in the chamber with them, forcing Caedus to break of his attack. In this moment, a Verpine reached Jaina's position and guided her to a rendezvous with her parents.

Upon reaching the patrol ship Lucky Dragon, Jaina was treated for several broken ribs, a concussion, numerous cuts and bruises from shrapnel and other injuries, and a nasty cut across her brow. She spent many days in a Jedi healing trance, only to awake and find that many of the bruises and burns still had not healed. She believed that the Force was trying to tell her that there was still some part of the old Jacen still inside Darth Caedus. However, when she learned that the strange bruises on her neck were actually a blood trail left behind by Caedus, Jaina realized that Caedus had not let her live because of their relationship. Instead, he let her live so that she would lead him to the Jedi base on Shedu Maad.

In the days that followed, Master Skywalker put plans in motion to bring Caedus down and put an end to the war. Jaina's role was the same as before, to infiltrate the Anakin Solo and bring Caedus to justice. However, the mission to rescue Prince Isolder was forced to retreat, and Jaina's mission suddenly doubled. When she reached the infirmary aboard the Star Destroyer, she also learned that her brother was holding Mirta Gev captive. She located Mirta's cell, only to find that her friend had been badly injured and tortured. Mirta gave Jaina the knowledge that Darth Caedus still underestimated her skills, and asked Jaina for a blaster with which to defend herself. Jaina agreed, and uncertain whether Mirta used the weapon to defend or kill herself. However, the fact that Caedus had tortured Mirta and then turned her blood over to the Imperials for use in creating a nanokiller only hardened her resolve finally defeat her brother.

If she needed another reason to bring Caedus down, she found it when she learned that he had also murdered Prince Isolder, and managed to finally confront him when he tried to dispose of the body. She appeared before him and drove her lightsaber into his stomach, and was surprised to find that the injury did little to slow him down. After a brief fight, Caedus deactivated his lightsaber and begged Jaina to stand down and allow him to save Tenel Ka and Allana. When she refused Caedus used the Force in an attempt to fling her into the Biodisposal Pit, and Jaina only barely managed to avoid being burned alive. She managed to gain the upper hand when she severed the tendon in his leg, and drove her lightsaber into his chest, just as he screamed out to Tenel Ka in the Force.

In the wake of the fighting, Jaina found that she could do little more than hold her brother's dead body, and refused to let Jagged Fel take it away. Jagged had boarded the Anakin Solo with Jaina's parents and a group of Jedi who were neutralizing any resistance. Jaina begged Jag to locate Zekk and Mirta Gev, then was treated for her injuries when her parents arrived. In the wake of the so-called Second Galactic Civil War, Jaina found herself drawn more and more to Jagged, despite the fact that he was named the Imperial Head of State. His regular travels to meet with representatives of the Galactic Alliance allowed Jagged to meet with Jaina quite often, and their love for each deepened with every tryst they shared. During the Unification Summit, Jaina was named to serve as the official liaison between the Jedi Order and the Imperial Remnant. This appointment came shortly after Jagged suggested that he would welcome a branch of the Jedi Order within the Imperial Remnant, and idea that Jaina was not sure would gain much acceptance within the Order.

In the months that led up to exile of Luke Skywalker, Jaina and Tekli began forming the Darkmeld unit as a group of independent freedom fighters who could operate without government approval, in matters where safety and security might be compromised by the government. Darkmeld was forced into action when Valin Horn was imprisoned on Coruscant, and Seff Hellin tried to free him. Jaina called in all the Darkmeld members, and they were able to capture Hellin and return him to the Jedi Temple, in the hope that Jedi Master Cilghal might be able to observe Hellin and determine what was happening to himself and Valin Horn. Unfortunately, a secret recording of Hellin's detention cell within the Jedi Temple somehow reached the media, and Chief of State Natasi Daala demanded that the Jedi responsible be forced to admit their role in Hellin's capture. Although Cilghal supported Jaina's actions in bringing Hellin to the Temple, she and the others were forced to accept Kenth Hamner's agreement to Daala's terms. While Jaina was preparing for an interview with Javis Tyrr, she was surprised when Jagged Fel asked her to marry him, although she wasted little time in accepting his proposal. Their relationship continued to be fodder for sensationalist journalists like Tyrr, who did everything he could to track their every movement.

To this end, Tyrr surreptitiously placed an altered Lovolor cleaning droid into the Jedi Temple, which he used to gather data on the capture of Seff Hellin. He tried to use the droid to gain access to Jagged Fel's limousine, but Jaina managed to capture the droid and claim it as Imperial property. Tyrr was forced to back off in his attempt to recover the droid, and Jaina was able to disassemble it and locate the parasite droid that had attached itself to the cleaning droid's systems. A search of several technical databases revealed that the parasite droid was similar to a design that had been attributed to Imperial Moff Drikl Lecersen, tying the Moff to Tyrr's overbearing attempts to track Jaina and Jagged. This knowledge came on the heels of Jagged's revelation that he believed Chief of State Natasi Daala was going to hire Mandalorians to deal with the Jedi Order, a revelation that he asked Jaina to keep to herself. Jaina agreed, until her parents found out from a separate source about the Mandalorians, and she was forced to admit that Jagged was aware of it. She tried to defend Jagged, claiming that he was bound to secrecy if it was in the best interests of the Imperial Remnant. This put her at odds with her parents, until Jagged suggested that they show the parasite droid to Chief of State Daala.

Solo, Jarik
This street urchin from the Corellian sector of Nar Shaddaa once claimed to be a relative of Han Solo's, during the height of the New Order. He claimed that his father, Renn, was Han's father's second cousin. Han didn't believe for a minute that the youth was his relative, but his own years of eking out an existence as a beggar told him to take Jarik in and keep him off the streets. Roa eventually confirmed that Jarik was nothing more than a street kid. Jarik accompanied Han and Chewbacca on many adventures in the Bria, including several Kessel Runs. When Han decided that he had to leave Nar Shaddaa to escape an impending marriage to Salla Zend, Jarik stayed behind to pursue a new girlfriend and a job at Shug's Spacebarn. Although the girlfriend left him, Jarik continued to work for Shug Ninx. When Han returned to recruit smugglers of the assault on Ylesia, Jarik joined up, having lost his girlfriend but maintaining his skills. He joined the team which attempted to destroy the turbolaser emplacement protecting the planet, but was killed in the firefight which preceded the Alliance's victory. (THG, RD)

Solo, Jiyam
This was the alias adopted by an actor who was hired by Luke Skywalker to portray Han Solo, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Skywalker and his wife, Mara, were trying to infiltrate Corellia to investigate the murder of Aidel Saxan and the dealings of Thrackan Sal-Solo. The actor had been hired by Luke to arrive in Coronet just before Luke and Mara. According to his story, Jiyam Solo was a character actor who was on Corellia to play the role of Han Solo in a holodocumentary on Solo's life. Jiyam Solo was actually an assumed name, adopted to help the actor get more roles. The ruse allowed Luke and Mara to arrive in Coronet without much of a disguise, since they could also claim to be character actors who were part of the cast. (LF1)

Solo, Jonash
Jonash was believed to have been the son of Dalla Suul, and Han Solo's father. Later investigation by Thrackan Sal-Solo revealed that Jonash was actually the son of Denn Solo. Although Jonash's wife's name remained clouded by history, it was believed that Jonash was truly Han's father. (CPL, NEGC)

Solo, Korol
This man was believed to have been Han Solo's great-grandfather, and a pretender to the throne of Corellia. He was hanged for his crimes. (CPL)

Solo, Leia Organa
The daughter of Anakin Skywalker and Padme' Amidala, and the younger twin sister to Luke Skywalker, Leia was separated from her brother at birth in an effort to hide their potential Force-sensitivity from Emperor Palpatine. She was taken in by Bail Organa and his wife, Breha, on the planet Alderaan, where she grew up in the political atmosphere surrounding an Imperial Senator. Leia herself grew proficient in the world of politics, and eventually followed in Bail's footsteps to become a Senator herself. Her adopted mother became Alderaan's Mistress of Education, but died while Leia was still young. Once Leia saw the internal corruption that Emperor Palpatine was fomenting, she quickly turned her idealistic mind to the growing Alliance to Restore the Republic. She became very active in the Alliance, and was chosen to escort the stolen plans to the first Death Star to their final destination.

After being intercepted by Darth Vader near Toprawa, Leia made a fateful decision and tried to reach the planet Tatooine, where her father had told that Obi-Wan Kenobi still lived. She hoped to get the plans to him before being captured, and stored them inside the computer system of R2-D2. Vader managed to apprehend Leia over Tatooine, then took her captive and brought her to the Death Star itself, where she was tortured in an attempt to make her divulge information about the planet and the Alliance. When she refused to be broken, her homeworld of Alderaan was destroyed by Grand Moff Tarkin. This only hardened her resolve, and crystallized her desire to overthrow the Empire. Following the Battle of Yavin, Leia began to fall in love with Han Solo. The bounty on his life, however, separated them until Leia could gain access to Jabba the Hutt's palace and rescue him, with the help of Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian. She then helped the Alliance prepare for the Battle of Endor, and even was a member of Han's ground assault team. Her communication with the Ewoks led to the cooperation of the two forces against the Empire, and helped the Alliance destroy the second Death Star. She then led the team assigned to the Bakura situation, and successfully teamed up with the Imperial forces there to defeat the Ssi-ruuk.

It was during the months that followed the Battle of Endor that Leia discovered that many of her insights as a politician had probably come from the Force. This discovery was only emphasized when she sensed that Luke Skywalker was in serious trouble on the planet Mindor, prompting Leia and Han to travel to the ruined planet on a rescue mission. During Warlord Zsinj's reign, she appealed to the Hapans for aid in overthrowing Zsinj. They Hapans agreed to help, but only if she were to marry the crown prince, Isolder. This led to the discovery of her love for Han, as well as the Witches of Dathomir. In the end, Isolder shook off his mother's mantle and agreed to help the Alliance without marrying Leia, and he gladly gave her hand to Han Solo. Leia's marriage to Han Solo produced three Force-sensitive children: the twins, Jaina and Jacen, and young baby Anakin. Leia maintained her political rank during her pregnancies, working hard as the New Republic's Minister of State to keep both Admiral Thrawn and Caridan Ambassador Furgan from kidnapping her children by hiding them on Anoth with her childhood friend, Winter.

Following the birth of Jacen and Jaina, Leia and Luke used their combined powers to destroy the reborn Emperor Palpatine on Byss. After the birth of baby Anakin, Leia assumed the role of Chief of State of the New Republic when Mon Mothma stepped down. However, continued attempts on the lives of her family forced Leia to take a hiatus from leading the Republic at the time when Moff Disra began his power play. This allowed her to assist the New Republic in resolving the situation while allowing her to maintain contact with her family. After she successfully negotiated a peace treaty with Imperial Admiral Pellaeon, Leia resigned her position as Chief of State, but remained a vital part of the government whenever she could.

During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Leia was one of the strongest voices the New Republic had in identifying the threat and ensuring that there was room for refugees fleeing the warzones. However, the death of Chewbacca at Sernpidal plunged Han into a deep depression, and he grew snappy with his family. Leia tried to understand Han's loss, but was unable to break through. When Han left Coruscant with Roa, Leia became angry with him for trying to keep his destination a secret. When Han returned, only to leave again to locate Roa, Leia refused to have him gallavanting across the galaxy. As Han left, he and Leia had a fight, and they parted on poor terms. Their estrangement deepened in the wake of the Battle of Fondor, when Leia refused to reduce her efforts on behalf of SELCORE to try and patch things up. Han remained at Fondor to help Droma and his family, but would not come back to Coruscant unless Leia agreed to meet with him.

Leia was unexpectedly reunited with Han on the planet Duro, as the New Republic tried to bolster the spirits of the refugees by having them help in the reclamation of the planet's surface. Han ws helped Droma with settling refugees into their new homes, while Leia was heading up the committee which was directing the clean-up of Duro. They both realized that their petty arguments were nothing compared to what was happening in the rest of the galaxy, and began working to restore their relationship. However, the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Duro, and Leia was captured by the Warmaster Tsavong Lah. In a desparate struggle, Leia and Randa the Hutt tried to escape. The Hutt ultimately gave his life to help Leia, but she was captured by the Warmaster and nearly killed by Tsavong Lah. Jacen's assault forced the Yuuzhan Vong to flee, and Jaina Solo's timely arrival helped save Leia, who had suffered massive blood loss in the fight. Leia ultimately recovered, but only to learn that her son Anakin had died in the mission to kill the voxyn queen at Myrkr.

With Chewbacca's death and Han's angry response to it, Leia struggled mightily to try and keep her family from falling apart. Her task wasn't made easier when Jaina decided to become a living example of Yun-Harla and nearly fell to the Dark Side of the Force, nor when Jacen was captured by Vergere and twisted to the Yuuzhan Vong way of life. As the war ground on and months of fighting turned into years, Leia and Han grew closer together through sheer determination. They participated in many missions for the New Republic and the fledgling Galactic Alliance, the primary mission being the re-establishment of the HoloNet communcations network.

After a strange battle at Esfandia, Leia and Han returned to Mon Calamaro only to learn that the Yuuzhan Vong had devised a way to eliminate the HoloNet relay stations using the mabugat kan. With the rediscovery of Zonama Sekot, Leia could only hope that the war might be nearing its end. She had embraced a small portion of her Jedi heritage and often fought with her lightsaber, and although Han seemed to be volunteering for only the most insane of missions, they nonetheless always found their way home. After Zonama Sekot reappeared at Coruscant, Han and Leia traveled from Calamari to Coruscant to be reunited with Luke, Jaina, and Jacen, as well as with Tahiri. Their reunion was short-lived, as Zonama Sekot's return sparked the final battle between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance. On Coruscant, Leia and Han worked with the priest Harrar to find a way to get inside both the Citadel of Supreme Overlord Shimrra as well as the Well of the World Brain.

With Shimrra's death and the destruction of Onimi, the war came to a swift end. Han and Leia returned to Zonama Sekot with the Jedi, to determine what would happen to the living planet. They chose to remain distanced from the growing Galactic Alliance and the Reconstruction Authority, especially when Leia began seeing the Galactic Alliance Senate acting in much the same way that the Galactic Senate of the Old Republic had, shortly before it was destroyed by Emperor Palpatine. She and Han set out to locate new planets on their own, hoping to focus their efforts on relocating dishomed races, rather than finding new worlds to strip of natural resources.

Some five years after the Yuuzhan Vong surrender, they were caught up in the conflict between the Colony and the Chiss, and Leia's skills as a negotiator and diplomat proved important in resolving the conflict to everyone's satisfaction. However, this brush with politics only served to harden Leia's resolve to complete her training as a Jedi. She requested that Saba Sebatyne become her Master, and the Barabel gladly agreed to train her. For her role in eliminating Alema Rar during the Battle of Tenupe, Leia found herself being promoted to the level of Jedi Knight.

Her loyalties were called into question several years later, when the Corellian System threatened to secede from the Galactic Alliance. Han was vilified in the Corellian newsfeeds as a traitor for remaining with his wife on Coruscant, and the Solos were painted as traitors. Both Leia and Han found themselves torn between their loyalty to family and government, although both believed that something was happening with their son, Jacen, that was causing the Galactic Alliance to transform into something akin to the former Galactic Empire.

Han and Leia then returned to Corellia, believing that the Corellians were right in their beliefs, if not in their actions. After learning that the new Five World Prime Minister, Dur Gejjen, might have been involved in a plot to assassinate the Hapan Queen Mother, the Solos left Corellia to warn Tenel Ka of the danger. They found themselves wrapped up in the actual assassination, and were forced to flee Hapes when they were implicated in the plot, along with the actual assassin, Aurra Sing. They traveled with the bounty hunter to meet her employer, Lalu Morwan, and agreed to take Morwan back to Hapes when Aurra Sing was dispatched on another mission. This brought them back to Hapes in the midst of the Heritage Fleet's attempt to destroy the Hapan Royal Navy and take control of the Hapes Consortium.

They were badly outgunned, and with the Millennium Falcon already damaged from fleeing Hapes the first time, there was little they could do but avoid the fighting. This brought them into contact with their daughter Jaina, as well as Zekk and Ben Skywalker, who had been forced to evacuate their own ship in the middle of the battle. Realizing that the Solos were considered Corellian insurgents, Ben tried to arrest them as terrorists, but was stopped by Jaina and Zekk. Although the Solos were credited with helping warn the Hapans about the plotting of the Heritage Council, both Ben and Jacen Solo continued to regard them as criminals.

When soldiers from the Galactic Alliance Guard tried to arrest Han and Leia when they tried to enter the Jedi Temple for the funeral of Mara Jade Skywalker, they both realized that the time had come to do something about Jacen. This realization became a hardened resolve when Jacen tracked them to Kashyyyk and ordered orbital turbolaser strikes at the wroshyr forests and several cities, in an effort to force the Wookiees to turn his parents over for capture. Their opportunity came shortly afterward, when Han and Leia learned of Jacen's deep-space rendezvous with Corellian delegates. They devised a plan to infiltrate the Anakin Solo and capture Jacen, using location data provided to them by the Jedi Order. Leia piloted the Love Commander, on loan from Lando Calrissian, while Han, Jaina, Zekk, and Jag Fel hid in the ship's holds. The presence of Jaina and Zekk in the Force was masked by the fact that they carried an ysalamiri with them. Their mission coincided with Jacen's plans for a secret rendezvous with Sadras Koyan, where they were to discuss Corellia's possible return to the Galactic Alliance. While Leia was escorted to the bridge to talk to Jacen, the others set their plans in motion.

Leia, for her part, was calm when she was brought before Jacen, keeping her mission a carefully guarded secret. She engaged him in several debates about right and wrong, and openly questioned his actions in assuming control of the Galactic Alliance. When Jacen started the discussion with Captain Hoclaw, it was Leia who realized that the Corellian's had skeleton crews on the ships that were sent to the rendezvous, and warned Jacen of a possible trap. When the rest of the mission was discovered, Leia only barely managed to return to the Love Commander, and the group made their escape. She and Han then agreed to transport Jaina, Jagged Fel, and Zekk to Alema Rar's asteroid base, where the trio managed to finally defeat the Dark Jedi. Upon meeting up with the Jedi on the Forest Moon of Endor, Leia learned of Jacen's kidnapping of Allana, the daughter of Tenel Ka. She and Han agreed to help with a mission to rescue her, and Leia was both surprised and pleased when Han turned the Millennium Falcon over to Jagged to fly during the mission. Their mission was eventually successful, and Allana was returned to her mother on Hapes.

In the days that followed, Leia and Jaina Solo met with Ben Skywalker, who still believed that Jacen had killed his mother. Leia listened carefully to Ben's plans to locate evidence that would prove the identity of Mara Jade Skywalker's killer, but cautioned Ben about what the truth might bring. She allowed him to continue his investigation, but only after he agreed to abide by what the evidence said, even if it pointed to someone other than Jacen. Much to Leia's dismay, however, Ben and Lon Shevu acquired more than enough evidence against Jacen, including a recording that amounted to Jacen's confession for the killing. Leia maintained her composure, since there was no other way around the fact that Jacen had killed Mara. However, much like Han, Leia refused to believed that the being who now called himself Darth Caedus was anything like her son Jacen. Thus, when Jaina Solo suggested that Jacen needed to be eliminated, Leia only agreed to the plan if they set out to eliminate Darth Caedus.

Their first mission was to Coruscant, but ended in disaster when Ben Skywalker was captured by Tahiri Veila. Luke had foreseen Ben's capture, however, but refused to prevent it in order to ensure that Caedus' own visions of the future remained on course. Luke then revealed that he had been using the Force to alter the visions Caedus was experiencing, in order to hide Jaina's role from her brother. A second mission followed, after it was learned that Caedus was on the Nickel One asteroid. Han and Leia piloted an assault ship to the planet, covering the fact that Jaina would be inserted on the asteroid's surface in a dropsuit. They hung around long enough to extract Jaina after her confrontation with her brother, then fled to the Jedi base on Shedu Maad. There, they began planning for a final battle against Caedus.

When Jaina learned that her brother had followed her to the planet using a blood trail, Leia was saddened to see her daughter come to the realization that Jacen Solo was really dead. Han and Leia then set about helping Luke Skywalker and the Jedi plan for the evacuation of Shedu Maad the fighting that followed. The Solos were part of a small strike team that was to infiltrate the Anakin Solo and rescue Prince Isolder of Hapes, but they were forced to turn back when the fighting became too intense. Han and Leia then returned to the Millennium Falcon to serve as Jaina's extraction vessel, and took the ship into the hangars of the Anakin Solo. When they found Jaina cradling her brother's lifeless body in her arms, Leia did everything she could to console her daughter while dealing with the loss of another son. To take her mind off the situation, Leia then accompanied Cilghal to the Dragon Queen to rescue any Hapans who had survived the nanokiller that was placed aboard the ship by the Imperials who supported Caedus.

After Jaina Solo managed to kill her brother and bring his reign of terror to an end, Leia found herself torn between understanding the need for Jacen to die and mouring the death of her first son. She was able to put aside her internal demons for a few weeks when Allana discovered a strange device in one of the bulkheads of the Millennium Falcon. Allana began asking about the ship and its history when Han was unable to identify the device, prompting the start of an impromptu adventure to seek out the ship's past. The adventure took them across the galaxy, to worlds like Taris, where Allana was briefly kidnapped by Seff Hellin. After rescuing their granddaughter, Han and Leia followed Vistal Purn's information to Obroa-skai, where they learned more about the ship from Parlay Thorp. Thorp's recollection of the ship led them to Vaced, where they hoped to meet Quip Fargil. However, Tobb Jadak had reached the planet first, on his own search for the whereabouts of the Stellar Envoy. Their paths crossed when Jadak, posing as Quip Fargil, realized that the Stellar Envoy was actually the <>Millennium Falcon. Still pretending to be Fargil, Jadak tried to enter his long-remembered code phrase into the ship's navigational computer, which set off the device Allana had found. It went off in Han's pocket, alerting him to Jadak's actions and giving him reason to suspect the man's motives. Jadak eventually confessed, but agreed to help the Solos track down whatever treasure he believed was linked to the Millennium Falcon. When the device was activated, the ship jumped to Tandun Three, where Han and Leia were intercepted by Lestra Oxic, who had been searching for Jadak and that treasure. The ship turned out to be a kind of key that opened one of the ruined temples on the planet's surface, where they discovered a counterfeit version of the Insignia of Unity. As the planet tore itself apart beneath their feet, Leia and her family blasted away from the planet, leaving Oxic and Jadak to continue the search for the real Insignia of Unity.

However, a quick check of the incoming communications revealed a message that Chief of State Natasi Daala was planning to have Luke Skywalker arrested for derelicion of duty, after the new Jedi Order secluded itself on Shedu Maad. With their adventure completed, Leia and Han set off to see what they could do to help Luke. Luke did not need their help, having accepted the judgement of the courts in order to prevent further legal action against the Jedi Order. He agreed to serve out a ten-year exile from the Jedi Order, and set out to retrace the travels of Jacen Solo, in an attempt to learn what Jacen had discovered. Han and Leia then received a distressing call from Lando Calrissian, asking for their help in learning what was causing severe earthquakes on the planet Kessel. They agreed to help, and Leia found that she could communicate with the bogeys that inhabited the mines by connecting to them through the Force. The Solos found entire caverns deep below the spice mines, in which the bogeys monitored vast pieces of machinery, but Leia also learned that this machinery was about to self-destruct, having reached the end of its functional life. Lando did not want to give up on Kessel, and Han came up with the daring idea to randomly destroy the various parts of the self-destruct system, thereby preventing the complete destruction of Kessel.

Hoping to restore some form of normalcy to their lives, Han and Leia returned to Coruscant with Allana. Believing that a pet might help their granddaughter, the Solos took Allana to the Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition. Unfortunately, one of their Jedi escorts, Natua Wan, experienced an episode similar to that of Valin Horn and Seff Hellin, and tried to kill the Solos famiy, believing them to be imposters. Natua Wan opened the cages containing dangerous creatures, forcing the Solos to kill the otherwise innocent creatures in order to protect themselves and the other beings at the exhibit. They eventually took in an orphaned nexu cub as a pet for Allana, after Leia explained that it was probably the right thing to do. Allana's reaction to this event was to worry that she might also fall victim to the Force-related psychoses that were affecting young Jedi, but Han and Leia both assured her that she would be safe with them. However, Allana's maturity and demeanor showed Leia that she was growing into a strong-willed young woman, and Leia realized that she and Han were grooming her to become a leader in the period of peace that was coming to the galaxy in the future.

In the days that followed, the Solos received a secured communication from Wynn Dorvan, who revealed to them that Chief of State Daala was planning to hire a group of Mandalorians to deal with the Jedi Order. They were led to believe that Jagged Fel had been aware of this decision, and they confronted Jaina with this knowledge. Jaina initially played innocent, but eventually acknowledged that Jagged had alredy told her about it, and had sworn her to secrecy. Both Han and Leia became angry that they had not been alerted to this knowledge, despite Jaina's assertions that Jagged was only acting in the best interests of the Imperial Remnant by withholding the information.

This was a private joke between Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa-Solo. Coined by Leia, it referred to the way in which all of Han's plans to create a private vacation for them always ended up in ruin. (VOF)

Solo Fleet
This was the nickname given to the first group of twelve Solo-class combat freighters, produced by the Metalsmiths' Guild of Vandelhelm as a gift to the New Republic. They were delivered on the tenth anniversary of the return of the Venerated Ones, Lilli and Endro. The ships were laden with alloys, ores, and construction materials, as well as valuable artwork, as a further gift to the New Republic. The Solo Fleet was turned over to Han Solo and Nien Nunb during an elaborate ceremony. (PH)

Solo Holotheater
This was the name Han Solo gave to his makeshift holotheater on Kamar, during the early years of the New Order. It was little more than a natural amphitheater in the desert of the Kamar Badlands, in which Han used a Brosso Mark II holoprojector to display the features. It was short-lived, however, since the Kamarians destroyed it after Han failed to show Varn, World of Water, a feature about a water planet. The Kamarians came to consider the travelogue to be mak-tk-klp, and felt that Han had denied the Kamarians their fantasies. (HSR)

Solo Project
This was the term used by Nom Anor and Vergere for their attempt to turn Jacen Solo away from the Jedi Order and the Force, and convert him to a believer in the True Gods of the Yuuzhan Vong. After Jacen's capture at Myrkr, he was subjected to months of torture within the Embrace of Pain. When he finally discovered a way to accept the pain for what it was and use it to his advantage, Vergere allowed him to escape the Embrace of Pain, only to strip him of his connection to the Force. He was then placed aboard the seedship which was developing the dhuryam specimens which would eventually seed Coruscant. He was continually faced with decisions about helping the rest of the slave population, and he eventually developed a relationship with his controlling dhuryam. According to Vergere, this put the Solo Project on target, but Nom Anor was skeptical. Master Shaper Ch'Gang Hool was livid at the intrusion of Solo's presence on the development of the dhuryam, but was forced to accept it. When Jacen discovered that there was a side of the Force he had never discovered, he began to influence the dhuryam in strange ways, which threatened the outcome of the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat. His violence nearly killed all the dhuryams, but Vergere interceded to stop him from killing the last World Brain. This near-disaster was all in the plans, according to Vergere, who then forced Ch'Gang Hool to accept Jacen's presence on the planet Coruscant, now reformed into a version of Yuuzhan'tar. While Solo managed to escape their grasp, the new Yuuzhan Vong homeworld was more or less intact. Nom Anor had fled when it seemed Jacen might destroy it, while Vergere joined Jacen in an attempt to leave the planet. (T)

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

Solo Slide
Although this starship maneuver was named for Han Solo, he was not the first being to use it. Instead, he was simply the best pilot who ever put it to use, and no being had come along to do it better. The Solo Slide involved using a starship's repulsors to push against an object in space, such as an asteroid. Because the ship had a much larger mass than the asteroid, the repulsor caused the asteroid to move away from the ship, sending it tumbling in another direction. The starship often moved slightly, depending on the mass of the object being moved, and it was this combination of the asteroid's distraction and the ship's change in vector that allowed a pilot to escape from a potentially dangerous situation. (LSSM)

Solo Slingshot
This method of gaining speed around a Yuuzhan Vong dovin basal mine was inadvertently discovered by Han Solo, during a mission to Bastion shortly after the Battle of Coruscant. The Solo Slingshot was similar in many respects to using the gravity of a planet to "slinghsot" a ship into a higher orbit. It involved diving a ship directly toward the dovin basal, keeping enough power and control to break off the flight at the last moment and allowing the dovin basal's gravity to fling the ship in an unexpected direction. This allowed New Republic ships to gain a measure of surprise on the Yuuzhan Vong. However, the Yuuzhan Vong began to use the tactic themselves, gaining a measure of surprise on the Republic's forces during the siege at Bilbringi. (DW, FP)

Solo Strobe
This was a model of personal location device produced by Saladar Systems. The Solo Strobe was developed to help a lost being indicate their position to a rescue team. In a pinch, it could also be used to blind an attacker. (PSG)

This was Atuarre's nickname for Han Solo, during their mission to rescue the prisoners who were being detained at the Stars' End facility, several years before the Battle of Yavin. (HSE)

Solo-class Combat Freighter
Originally designed by the Metalsmith's Guild of Vandelhelm, on the orders of the Venerated One known as Lilli, the Solo-class combat freighter was named in honor of Han Solo. Developed during the early years of the New Republic, the Solo-class freighter was manufactured jointly by the Republic Engineering Corporation and SoroSuub, with facilities provided by the Fondor Independent Shipyards, and was based on the prototypes produced on Vandelhelm. It was first marketed as "a revolution in armored transports." The idea behind the Solo-class combat freighter was to create a cargo ship that could more than handle its own against enemy ships, whether pirates or Imperials. The hull was double-plated with titanium alloys that could withstand a great deal of fire, and was formed around a lightweight plasteel superstructure. It was armed with six ball-mounted dual turbolaser cannons, three on each side, giving the ship complete coverage and eliminating any vulnerable spots. A pair of concussion missile launchers provided additional armament. The Solo-class combat freighter measured 96.5 meters in length, required a crew of six to operate, and could accommodate up to ten passengers and 22,000 metric tons of cargo. If the holds were empty, the ship could transport up to 100 troops. Despite its ability to move through space without an escort, many critics felt that the Solo-class combat freighter was overarmed and a waste of credits, as they carried a hefty price tag. (PH)

Solomahal
This Lutrillian was a veteran of the Old Republic military who retired from active duty following the Clone Wars. During the Clone Wars, Solomahal earned the rank of General, and was assigned as the commander of the Republic's secret base on Azure. He was credited with liberating the Wode from enslavement, as well as destroying the 2nd Regiment of the Sun Guard. He was also considered something of a hero for his part in the Battle of Azure Spaceport, after he destroyed Talesan Fry's codebreaker before it could fall into the hands of the Separatists. Although he was captured during the fighting, Solomahal escaped just a few days later and was given a new command. After the war, he continued to work as a scout, working in the Outer Rim Territories to avoid Imperial notice. Solomahal operated a YV-888 known as the QuadStar, and took on work whenever he could. However, as the galaxy plunged into the Galactic Civil War, Solomahal's reputation diminished greatly, and he was forced to move around the Greater Javin area in search of work. Among the jobs he took on was the transport of the Nothoiin refugee Covah to a remote location in the Greater Javin region of the galaxy. What many beings of the day didn't know - or didn't remember - was that Solomahal was actually a hero of the Clone Wars. After a while, Solomahal ended up on Tatooine, where he met up with the Brizzit known as Tzizvvt. Although Solomahal doubted Tzizvvt's claim to have been a professor of xenoarchaeology, he quickly recognized that the Brizzit had a knack for locating treasure. Solomahal agreed to fund a mission to locate the mysterious Eye of the Beyonder, in exchange for accompanying Tzizvvt on the mission. Just before the Battle of Yavin, the two set off to locate the relic and seek out the rumored treasure it pointed to. (CCG2, JKG, WOA34, SOJ, SWDB)

This was a group of para-military mercenaries who were active during the Galactic Civil War. They were easily distinguished by the blue-and-yellow coloration of their armor and vehicles. (MBC)

Solo's Bane
see Renlo (GG10)

Solo's End Run
This was a spaceflight maneuver developed by Han Solo for getting out of the Sevarcos System, especially during the Imperial occupation of the system. It involved a spacer turning off his ship's transponder system after leaving Sevarcos and heading toward the system's asteroid belt. Shortly before entering the asteroids, the spacer launched a remote probe that transmitted his starship's true transponder codes, causing any pursuit to chase after the probe and not the starship. (SWJ2)

Solo-speak
This was a term used by Tahiri Veila to describe the way in which Jaina Solo sometimes used words that were overtly pleasant to hide her true feelings about a matter that she had deemed silly or inane. (FJ1)

Solov, Reina
This stern-looking woman was an associate professor of archaeology at the University of Byblos. She specialized in the study of ancient cultures, and was investigating the Fellowship of Kooroo at the height of the Galactic Civil War. (PSPG)

Solsee
This name was common among Ithorian females. Although such names do not generally have meaning, Ithorians who studied their race's history learned that the name meant "summer". (GCG)

Soludisan, Yrada
This Jedi Knight was killed aboard the Monitor III, during the attempt to smash a group of Iridium Pirates which was ambushing Old Republic supply convoys near Vuchelle, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN4)

Solum'ke
This Weequay female and her beloved, Diergu-Rea Duhnes'rd, were vacationing on Zelos II when they were approached by K'zk. The Qwohog convinced them to finance a treasure hunt to the Zelosian Chine, and Solum'ke quickly agreed. Despite finding the treasure, they were double-crossed by K'zk, who left them to die as the tides rose around them. Solum'ke and Diergu-Rea were eventually rescued by another group of vacationers, but were flat broke. (TFNR)

Solus
This Mandalorian word had many different meanings, depending on the context in which it was used. It could mean "individual" or "each," but it could also mean "alone" or "vulnerable." Solus could also mean "united" or "as one." (OWS)

Solus
This Mandalorian word represented the number 1. (OWS)

Solus, Dapp
A native of Nar Shaddaa, this man never grew up from playing pirate games as a child. The problem for those he didn't consider to be friends was that he still played them like a child, with reckless abandon, but as a grown-up he had size, strength, and experience to back up his enthusiasm. After stealing a ship and wandering the galaxy for a few years, he met up with Salem Victory. The two of them collaborated on the design of the Starcat, and eventually formed the Happy Blasters. He was a competant and ruthless right-hand-man to Victory's brains and vision. It was rumored that Dapp had several cybernetic implants, but no one ever learned exactly which partsof his body had been replaced. (SWJ13)

Solusar, Jem
see Ysanna, Jem (HDE)

Solusar, Kam
This Jedi Knight was the son of Ranik Solusar, a Jedi slain by Darth Vader during the Jedi Purge. Kam spent nearly thirty years hiding from the Empire in the most remote parts of the galaxy. When his whereabouts were discovered by a group of Dark Jedi, he was tortured and forced to embrace the Dark Side of the Force. The reborn Emperor used him as one of his personal Dark Side Elite on Byss.

When Luke Skywalker first met him on Nespis VIII, Luke sensed his strength in the Force behind the Dark Side facade, and challenged Kam to a game of Lightsider. Luke won, and convinced Kam to return to the Light Side. Kam eventually returned to Luke, joining the Jedi candidates on Yavin 4. He became one of Luke's most gifted apprentices, and became a full Jedi Knight several years after the death of Palpatine's clones.

After meeting her on Yavin 4, Kam fell in love with Tionne, and the two were married shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. They acted as the administrators of the Yavin 4 facility for many years, and Kam himself presided over a solemn Jedi wedding for Luke and Mara Jade, before the pair were wedded in a public ceremony on Coruscant.

Kam and Tionne served Luke as the wards of the youngest Jedi trainees during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, spiriting the children away from Yavin 4 aboard the Errant Venture and eventually settling them into a new home at the Maw Installation. Ultimately, Kam and Tionne were among the handful of Jedi Knights to survive the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. It was Kam's suggestion to Luke that the Jedi Knights return to the planet Ossus to rebuild their new Jedi Order, an idea that Luke eventually agreed to. He then picked Kam and Tionne to serve as the facility's headmasters.

The training facility on Ossus prospered for several years, until the Galactic Alliance entered into its conflict with The Confederation. Kam and Tionne were surprised and worried when Major Serpa of the Galactic Alliance Guard arrived on Ossus to take control of the facility, and their worry turned to fear when Serpa took several students hostage. He claimed that he was carrying out his orders to protect the students, after Master Skywalker defected the Jedi Order from the Galactic Alliance during the Battle of Kuat. Serpa then shot Tionne in the leg when she tried to intervene, further emphasizing his resolve. Kam tried to remain calm, but Serpa's callous shooting of her arm and other leg left him no choice but to try and intervene. However, GAG snipers quickly noted his position and fired three blasts into his chest.

After Jaina Solo, Zekk, and Jagged Fel were able to defeat Serpa's forces, they rescued the Solusars and transported them to the Jedi Order's temporary base on the Forest Moon of Endor. There, both Kam and Tionne made slow but steady recoveries. (DE1, DA, DTO, U, NEGC, UF, LF6, LF7)

Solusar, Ranik
This man was a Jedi Knight who killed by Darth Vader during Palpatine's Jedi Purge, many months after the end of the Clone Wars. Ranik had a son, Kam, whom he taught in the ways of the Force. (DE2, SWI84)

Solusar, Tionne
One of Luke Skywalker's first Jedi apprentices at his praxeumon Yavin 4, Tionne was a near-human minstrel and historian. A native of the planet of Rindao, Tionne was distinguished by her long, silvery hair and her opalescent eyes, which appeared to have been carved from mother-of-pearl. As a child, she learned about the Force from her grandmother, who instilled in Tionne the passion for ancient Jedi legends. This was unusual, for all knowledge of the Jedi was thought to have been eradicated from her homeworld. Because of her retellings of the Jedi histories, Tionne's grandmother was executed by Imperial stormtroopers in a public square. Tionne took her grandmother's stringed instrument and fled the planet, searching for any trace of information on the Jedi.

She had very little Force-sensitivity, but Luke saw enough promise in her that he invited her to help discover the ancient Jedi teachings. She eventually became a full Jedi Knight, but her powers were somewhat limited. Nevertheless, she put her talents to good use, serving as a historian and administrator of the Yavin 4 praxeum. She eventually fell in love with Kam Solusar, and the two were married shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Kam and Tionne served as the caretakers of the youngest Jedi trainees during the invasion, gathering them aboard the Errant Venture and eventually settling them into a new base at the Maw Installation. Tionne and Kam were ultimately among the handful of Jedi Knights to survive the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong.

In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong war, Tionne and Kam agreed to become the leaders of the small Jedi training facility established on Ossus. There, they were in charge of the training of the younglings who were learning to become Jedi Knights. Their mission was one of education and exploration, and so they were surprised when Major Serpa of the Galactic Alliance Guard arrived to take control of thre facility. Their surprise turned to shock and fear when Serpa took several students hostage and threatened their lives, after Grand Master Luke Skywalker defected the Jedi Order from the Alliance. He emphasized his point by shooting Tionne in the leg when she tried to intervene, then shooting off one of her arms and the other leg when the other Jedi refused to accede to his demands.

After Jaina Solo, Zekk, and Jagged Fel were able to defeat Serpa's forces, they rescued the Solusars and transported them to the Jedi Order's temporary base on the Forest Moon of Endor. There, both Tionne and Kam, who had been shot three times by Serpa, made slow but steady recoveries. (DA, HTF, EGC, L, GG, JASB, DTO, SWJ15, UF, LF6, LF7)

Sol'yc
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word meant "first." It referred to the adverb first, to indicate when something should be done, but it could also be used to indicate the ordinal first. (OWS)

Somago
This carnivore was related to the raen sovra, but lived far from the electrically-active vinna forests on Tenek. Known as a choker, this creature had a muscular body which was uses to constrict its prey. Somagos would hang in the branches of trees and wait for prey to wander by. It would drop out of the tree and latch onto its intended prey with its sharp claws. Once attached, the somago would entwine its body about its victim and begin to constrict its muscles, effectively choking the prey. There were several forms of somago, including the sheet somago, saddle somago, and tapestry somago, each identified by its body shape and attack method. The rarest form was the helmet somago, which had a bell-shaped body which was adapted to capturing humanoid prey. Xenobiologists specualte that the helmet somago was an evolutionary throwback to the time when humanoid life lived on Tenek. Once the somago chokes the life out of its prey, it then fed on the dead body with several small mouths on the underside of its body. (COG)

Somaprin
This was a powerful soporific drug produced during the last years of the Old Republic as a pain killer. (MJH)

This area of the galaxy was located near the Wornal Sector. It was controlled by Imperial Moff Prentioch during the early years of the New Republic, and served as his base of operations as he tried to expand his sphere of influence. (SWJ7)

Somerce, Akeeli
This woman was, at one time, an assistant to the Prex of the Corporate Sector Authority. During the height of the New Order, Somerce found herself under investigation by the Auditor-General's office, on several counts of corruption. Fiolla was dispatched to arrest her, but Somerce managed to capture her and hold her at gunpoint on Abo Dreth. Her attempt to avoid capture was thwarted by Naven Crel, who had been working undercover to expose Chils Meplin. In a brief firefight, both Crel and Somerce scored killing hits. Somerce died swiftly, while Crel was able to relay brief information about his mission to Fiolla. (SWDB, OWS)

This city, located on the planet Seltos, was known to be the home of the largest group of Tarro in the galaxy. Note that Twin Stars of Kira often refers to it as Sommin City. (GG12, TSK)

Sommen
This Alliance agent was infiltrated into Neuro-Saav's Tauber facility, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (AIR)

Sommos, Noma
This being served the Old Republic military forces as an Admiral in the Navy during the Mandalorian Wars, nearly 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Admiral Sommos worked with Admiral Veltraa and Captain Saul Karath to lead the assault on the Mandalorian forces arrayed near Taris and Vanquo, in an effort to break through the advancing forces and gain a foothold for the Republic. In what became known as The Onslaught, Admiral Sommos and her forces were defeated by the Mandalorians and forced to retreat. Admiral Sommos suffered many injuries in the fighting, and was transported to a medical facility on Wayland. From the hospital, Admiral Sommos openly questioned the Old Republic's continued use of fringers and freelance soldiers in the military, stating that such forces were irregular and inconsistent, and could not be relied upon to meet the needs of the Republic's military. (KOR2, KOR4)

Somms
This blond-haired Corellian served Black Sun under the command of Zekka Thyne, before the near-human was imprisoned on Kessel. (TFE)

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

Somoril, Vak
This agent of the Imperial Security Bureau was assigned to the Star Destroyer Reprisal, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, when it was discovered that Daric LaRone and his stormtrooper squad had killed Major Dreflin and made off with his freighter. Both Colonel Somoril and Captain Ozzel were surprised when, in the midst of their search, Emperor's Hand Mara Jade contacted them from a position in the Shelsha Sector of the galaxy. Both feared that she had been sent by Emperor Palpatine himself to take over the investigation. However, it appeared that Mara was on a separate mission, and so they offered her assistance and hoped that she wouldn't find out about the stormtroopers. To keep an eye on her, though, Somoril dispatched two of his own agents, Brock and Gilling, to assist her in her investigation.

They managed to track Jade to Gepparin, where the Star Destroyer opened fire on the pirates' base and leveled it, in an effort to eliminate Jade. However, at Gepparin, Captain Ozzel broke off his attack when the Millennium Falcon fled the destruction, despite the fact that the Happer's Way was still at the pirate base. Somoril demanded that they remain at Gepparin to ensure that Jade had been eliminated, but he was overruled by Ozzel. (A)

Somov Rit
This planet was a semi-tropical world covered by shallow seas and marshy inlets. The natives of this planet feared a legendary swamp demon, and would not use their own given names for fear of making themselves vulnerable to the demon's possession. (JVS)

Sompa, Lial
This male Ho'Din was one of the many physicians who worked at the Aurora Medical Facility on Obroa-skai, during the year following the Yuuzhan Vong War. A decorated physician who had been given several Faan'er Awards over the years, Doctor Sompa had been trained at the Rhinnal State Medical Academy and served as Aurora's chief neurologist. Much of his research seemed to be supported by testing and analysis he had performed on himself, since Doctor Sompa himself never seemed to age. Despite his stature, however, Sompa had been quietly ridiculed by his peers for his near-constant work in maintaining Tobb Jadak's inert body over the decades. Sompa worked tirelessly to obtain the resources to keep Jadak alive, although many other physicians were not happy about the fact that he used almost half of the facility's resources for his "pet project". Few beings realized that Doctor Sompa was being paid by Lestra Oxic to keep Jadak alive, so that he could help Oxic learn the whereabouts of the Stellar Envoy. When Jadak was finally brought out of his coma, Doctor Sompa did what he could to ensure Jadak became acclimated to his new environment, which included showing him information on the last sixty-plus years of galactic history. However, when Jadak was deemed healthy enough, Doctor Sompa was forced to let him go free. Within a few weeks, however, Doctor Sompa was introduced to Han and Leia Solo by Doctor Parlay Thorp, who had traveled to Orboa-skai while investigating the history of the Millennium Falcon. Sompa recognized the ship as the Stellar Envoy, and immediately relayed the story of Thorp's discussions with the Solos to Lestra Oxic. He was able to provide Oxic with enough information to lead them to believe that Jadak was headed to Vaced, in search of information on the ship. (MF)

Somreth
This three-bladed weapon was the trademark sword of the Drevun Six. (AIR)

Somtay, Jyl
This woman was one of the many Jedi Padawans who were away from Coruscant when a 200-member team was dispatched to the planet Geonosis, during the opening battle of the Clone Wars. Her former Master, Lura Tranor, was among the Jedi who traveled to Geonosis, although Master Tranor was unfortunately killed in the fighting. Jyl herself arrived after the main battle, to help clean up any pockets of resistance and gather intelligence on Count Dooku and the leaders of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. She received a field promotion to Jedi Knight, and was given command of a squad of clone troopers, to seek out any survivors and work with Doctor Frayne to ensure that weapons technology remained behind. Her inexperience nearly cost her when she agreed to test out a new clone trooper helmet Frayne had developed. The helmet contained a mild poison that quickly rendered Somtay unconscious. She managed to escape, collecting Naj Pandoor along the way. His sweet-talking and smooth manner grated on her nerves, especially when he suggested that she leave the Jedi Order and join him as a smuggler. They located Doctor Frayne's body shortly afterward, although it was in pieces. They discovered that she had been attacked by a female nexu, and were forced to fight their way past it and its cubs. In an underground lab, she discovered a Geonosian sonic blaster that was capable of shifting its frequency with every blast, which would have made it unstoppable by the Jedi. Pandoor managed to steal the weapon and tried to use it against her, but the nexu returned and mauled him. Somtay managed to fight it off, and after recovering the sonic blaster, dragged Pandoor to a place where she could bind him and turn him over to the authorities. She reluctantly put in a good word for him, because he helped her reach the weapon. (SWI79)

Sonat, Marg
This Ithorian crimelord worked in the Tamarin Sector during the early years of the New Republic, and was a member of Sard Nightbringer's criminal empire. However, Marg Sonat wanted more power for himself, and sought a way to bring down Nightbringer and place himself in power. When Sard tried to auction off a set of prototype Imperial armor, Sonat tried his best to obtain it. He had it shipped to the Stellar Mermaid on Nightbringer's orders, but used an independent team of smugglers to transport it. He then enlisted the aid of his old friend, Pari' Notgoth, to take possession of the prototype. Their plans nearly succeeded, except for one loose end: the smugglers they hired to transport the prototype. They discovered the body of Morgotou, then discovered that Sonat had killed Natja the Hutt in order to obtain the prototype. Sonat then killed Sard Nightbringer, and tried to flee the Stellar Mermaid with his new possession. The smugglers caught him and blasted Sonat out of the luxury liner in an escape pod. The prototype was destroyed in the firefight, and the only known information on its construction had been memorized by Sonat. The secrets of the prototype were lost with him. (POC)

Sonax, Hass
This Sluissi female worked for Cecil Noone during the height of the New Order. She grew up in habitation sphere D on Sluis Van, living with her father and sisters. When the Empire announced it was hiring workers to repair a Star Destroyer at the Sluis Van shipyards, Hass and her sister, Resh, signed on. However, they were treated like slaves and became disillusioned with the Empire. When Resh was executed by an Imperial officer, as an example of what happened to beings who affected faulty repairs, Hass jumped ship as soon as she could. She ended up in the Roon System, eventually accepting work as an accountant. In order to enhance her mental capacity, Sonax had an Aj^6 cybernetic implant placed on her head. Sonax later served as Noone's computer expert and data slicer. (SWJ15, GMR1)

Sonax, Resh
This Sluissi was the sister of Hass Sonax. When the Empire requested maintenance workers to repair a damaged Star Destroyer, the sisters were accepted as applicants.

Song of the Universe
According to many races throughout the galaxy, especially races of insectile origins or those with hive minds, the Song of the Universe was the natural harmony created by every living creature. Each creature and race had its part to play in the Song of the Universe, and the more one concentrated, the easier it became to hear the Song. According to the Song of the Universe, entire races should live in simple harmony with the universe, expanding and contracting as demanded by the state of the universe. This continual adjustment applied to conflict as well as peace, as races that were attuned to the Song lived or died in combat, as deemed necessary by the Song. Only truly insectile races were believed to hear the entire Song, although the exact reasons for this were not known. The Killik hives of the Colony brought the Song of the Universe to the galactic forefront, as it formed the basis of their own existence. (DN1, DN3)

Song of War
This deep-red Hapan Battle Dragon served as Prince Isolder's flagship during the struggle against Warlord Zsinj at Dathomir. Many years later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Isolder again used the Song of War, this time as the flagship of the fleet he commanded under Commmodore Brand. During the Battle of Fondor, Isolder and the Song of War narrowly escaped the destruction of the Hapan fleet, when a blast from Centerpoint Station ripped through the system. (CPL, JE)

It seemed to refer to the underlying hum that permeated the air on their homeworld of Nam Chorios. When a being died of natural causes, their spirit returned to the Song. However, when a being died violently, their spirit was believed to be trapped in their body, since it was unable to escape normally. A proper burial would be necessary to help the spirit return to the Song. (DN1)

Songbuk
A species of herbivore native to the moon Yavin 8, the songbuk was the favorite prey of the ursod. (GG2)

This hygenic device used sound waves to gently clean away bodily grime. They could be set to use varying wavelengths of sound, imparting a basic cleansing or a soothing massage. (JS)

Sonic Beam Projector
This device was used to eliminate large targets by damaging them with intense sound waves. (CSWEA)

Sonic Blaster
This form of sonic weapon was developed by the Geonosians during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. They developed a handheld version of the sonic blaster as well as a larger, turret-mounted version. The sonic energy was ejected from the blaster within a plasma containment sphere, which glowed a strange gold color that seemed to ripple and writhe as it moved through the air. When it struck its target, the containment sphere exploded, unleashing an omnidirection blast of sonic energy. (SWDB, E2)

Sonic Blender
This cooking implement used generated sound waves to mix ingredients together. (GMR8)

Sonic Broom
A cleaning device which uses sound waves to propel dust and dirt in front of a wide paddle. The broom was used to push the dust into a receptacle. (TJP)

Sonic Dampener
This was a form of ear insert that limited the amount of sound the reached the inner ear, thereby reducing the risk of injury in those being who had sensitive hearing. These devices were popular among beings who worked in mines, or among the support personnel in a war, since they helped deaden the impact of an explosion's noise. (MBS)

Sonic Dissipator
This ovoid device was used by beings who need to control sound in an enclosed environment. Initially designed for miners and demolition crews, the dissipator took ambient sound waves and literally eats them, reducing both the volume and amount of sound. The user could then set off explosions in close proximity and not have to worry about damage to their hearing organs. Later, bounty hunters and other criminals discovered that sonic dissipators could be used to hide their activities. (MA)

Sonic Drill
This form of boring device used precision sonic emitters to produce focused sound waves that could be directed at a piece of material. These sound waves literally caused the material to chip away wherever they hit the material, resulting in a hole that was only slightly larger than the wavelength of the sound being emitted. (AA23)

Sonic Free
This band, formed by Skawn Bonduna during the last years of the Old Republic, was banned by the Imperial Board of Culture. The IBC claimed that Sonic Free's music held subliminal suggestions which coerced their listeners to act out against the Empire. Imperial soldiers captured the members of Sonic Free, although Skawn Bonduna managed to escape. The imprisoned members later died in a prison brawl before they could be arraigned. (GMR6)

A device which can be used to torture an individual or group by creating grating, unending noise that quickly becomes unbearable. They can also be programmed to interact with light sources and tactile torture devices. (SA)

Sonic Grenade
This explosive device emitted a loud, disorienting blast when it exploded. Developed more than 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, sonic grenades were designed to operate on two levels. First, the sound of the explosion itself was deafening, and often ruptured the eardrums of any being in the blast radius. Second, the frequency of the sonic blast it emitted was barely perceptible to most humanoid races, causing severe disorientation. Millennia later, the Geonosians developed a modern version of the sonic grenade thayt destroyed a target's equilibrium. (KOTOR, NEGW)

Sonic Guide to Native Neimoidian
This textdoc provided a wealth of helpful information for alien races that wished to learn the Neimoidian language. The authors gave several hints and tips about the correct shaping of the mouth and the proper use of vocal cords to create the croaking, accented speech patterns of the Neimoidian race. A copy of this textdoc was packaged with specialized vocabulators that allowed a non-Neimoidian to better speak the language. (GPB)

Sonic Hammer
This heavy hammer employed a sound-wave generator that helped break up large pieces of rock, without damaging the surrounding material. These hammers were often found in spice mines. (LSSM)

Sonic Imprint Sensor
This device was developed during the years following the Jedi Civil War, as a way to provide a droid with a voice. By recording sound-bites and storing them in computer memory in such a way that they could be cut apart and spliced together in various ways, the sonic imprint sensor could be used to make the droid appear to be another, living being. The technology was outlawed in many star systems, and was never mass-produced. (KOTOR2)

Sonic Jammer
This tool was used as a weapon by Quarg's father, a well-known pirate who was defeated by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. With a group of jammers spread through the Korteen Asteroid Belt, he wrecked passing ships and tore them apart for salvage. The Old Republic eventually ran him off, and he fled to Drexel. Once there, while using the jammer to draw starships to the surface so that the pirates could salvage their metals, he discovered that the devices affected the hearing of the sea-dragons, and he tried to defeat the Dragon Lords by using the jammers on their mounts. Han Solo and Luke Skywalker destroyed the devices, allowing the dragons and Dragon Lords to defeat Quarg. (MC14)

Sonic Mine
This was the generic term used to describe any mine-like device that, when triggered, emitted a devastating cacophony of sound. These mines could be tuned to different races, and could be adjusted to simply immobilize a victim, or to rupture eardrums and cause other physical damage. (KOTOR2)

Sonic Motivators
Devices which use varying wavelengths of sound to manipulate water or other media. They were often employed in water sculptures. (TB)

Sonic Pacifier
This sound-generating device was used by Orion Ferret to control the Watcher Beasts he placed on Patch-4 as guardians. (MC59)

Sonic Puncher
This motion-activated grenade was designed during the early years of the New Republic. It creates a sonic concussion when activated. (ROM)

Sonic Scalpel
This medical device was found in many sophisticated medkits.

Sonic Shower
Similar to a sonic bath, except that the user can stand upright while being cleaned. (ROM)

Sonic Staff
This form of Geonosian weapon was formed from a resin staff which measured about a meter in length. Thicker than an electro-staff, the sonic staff's internal components could generate a powerful blast of sonic energy which could knock an opponent off their feet. Because the sonic staff used compressed sound waves as its primary projectile, the energy blast could not be deflected by a lightsaber. (UANT)

Sonic Whistle
A device which uses sound waves to blast a signal. (TME)

Sonie
Cerasi claimed that she was Wehutti's daughter, come to tell of him her Aunt Sonie's death, during the attempt to rescue Tahl. Cerasi had been confronted by the guards protecting Tahl, and hoped the diversion would allow Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to recover Tahl. (DOD)

Sonnel
This Alliance CR90 was part of the fleet that assisted in the evacuation of Briggia, following an Imperial assaul there as part of Operation Strike Fear, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. (XW, XWP)

Sonniod
This compact, gray-haired little man had a cocky attitude that was evident in his mannerisms and dress. He often wore a floppy red cap, and was a former smuggler and bootlegger. When his cousin asked if he would help her out by carrying a load of chak-root with some of the features destined for the Corporate Sector, he happily agreed. After finding out that chak-root was illegal, and that it was also highly profitable to run it, Sonniod eventually joined his cousin's organization full-time. During this time, he first met Han Solo, and the two became friends. He eventually retired from smuggling and worked a legitimate business, shuttling holofeatures from planet to planet for a major distributor, during the early years of the New Order. He worked a total of fifty backwater systems, many of them on the edge of the Corporate Sector. It was during this time that he helped set up his old friend, Han Solo, up on Kamar, where Han was trying to make money showing holofeatures. The pair had to make a daring escape from the planet, after the native Kamarians became enraged when Han stopped showing Varn, World of Water, which had become an object of worship among the Kamarians. (HSR, CSA)

She greeted Lando Calrissian and Luke Skywalker when they arrived at the station, thinking they were going to help her get the station back to normal. (SC)

Sonship, Bender
This man served as a soldier in the Thaereian Military, during the final years of the Old Republic. Sonship was a member of the ambush squad that was led by Lorwin Derlynn, and was dispatched to a Cularin Militia based in the asteroids of the Cularin System, as part of a system-wide blockade. The blockade was ostensibly set up to protect Cularin from Separatist invasion. However, the Thaereians had other plans for Cularin. Unlike the other men who served under Derlynn, Sonship preferred to keep his blaster set to kill, rather than stun. Thus, Sonship was confused when Derlynn suddenly allowed a group of freelance operatives to go free, after they convinced Derlynn that Thaere was doing something wrong in the Cularin System. (BIT1)

Sonta, Jodd
This was the alias adopted by Drake Lo'gaan when he infiltrated COMPNOR, just after the end of the Clone Wars. Drake' use of the alias was cut short when he discovered that Zonder was to be sent into slavery, with the possibility of being simply executed for being an alien, during the construction and maintenance of the Emerald Splendor Estates on Byss. Drake abandoned his COMPNOR posting and set out to find Ekria, in an effort to ensure Zonder regained his freedom. (EAR)

SonTag
This silver-haired Meerian woman was the governor of Bandomeer some 12 years before the Battle of Naboo. She was a supporter of VeerTa and the Home Planet Party, although she knew that her planet's wealth was dependent upon Offworld Mining Company's operations. She welcomed the unexpected arrival of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to Bandomeer, although she did not summon them for assistance. That was the work of Xanatos, who hoped to exact revenge on Qui-Gon by taking control of the ionite mines or - if necessary - destroying the planet. When VeerTa was also implicated in Xanatos' plans, SonTag was forced to rebuild her planet's government from scratch, a task made easier by the expulsion of Offworld Mining and the recovery of the Home World Party. (DR)

Sontaran Song Ball
This unusual form of musical instrument was made up from two balls that were made from a rare titanium alloy. The smaller ball was sealed inside the larger ball, and was free to roll around inside it. Thus, then the larger ball was rolled along the ground, the smaller ball inside was also forced to move, although its relative spin was in the opposite direction from the larger ball. The contact created between the two balls set up a low vibration in the titanium, creating a musical tone that rose and fell as the larger ball changed speed and direction. The distinctive sound produced by a Sontaran song bell was often described as something that one would hear coming from a huge flute. (CN3)

Sontor Skipper
This independent freighter was owned and operated by Captain Ross. He used it to carry foodstuffs from Baralou to various Alliance bases, in exchange for gemstones mined on Baralou. (PG1)

Sonus

Soo, Patla
This female Caarite served as the operations manager at Cartel Central, the Metatheran Cartel's headquarters buidling, in the city of Joventusek, during the era of the Clone Wars. She was unaware that the Believers had created a virus that attacked and killed members of the Caarite race, and was more than happy to assist a group of freelance agents who had been hired by the Cularin Militia to stop Melo Centris from deploying the virus on Caarimon. (MCT3)

Sood
This was the name used to describe those Acherins who were native to the capital city of Sood. (LJ8)

Sood
This was one of the three cities that were located on the planet Acherin. Considered the planet's cosmopolitan center, Sood was larger than Eluthan, and served as the planet's capital city. Sood was distinguished by its new structures and business concentration, which set it apart from the more old-world environment of Eluthan. During the era of the Clone Wars, all the cities of Acherin suffered greatly, but none more than Sood. When the Empire abandoned Acherin after the end of the Clone Wars, the leaders of Sood launched attacks on the natives of Eluthan, in an effort to gain control of the planet's meager remaining resources. (LJ8)

Sooflie IX, R'cardo
This Lannik served as the Crown Prince and ruler of the planet Lannik, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. His abrupt and terse nature earned him the ire of the Lannik people. Despite the fact that the Jedi Master Even Piell - himself a Lannik - saved R'cardo's parents from death at the hands of the Red Iaro, Prince Sooflie paid the Jedi little heed. In fact, Prince Sooflie was quoted as denouncing Piell's effort, claiming that he could have become Prince sooner if the Jedi hadn't interfered. Prince Soofliee even rebuffed his chief advisor, Hutar Zash, in the public forum of the peace negoations with the Red Iaro, on the planet Malastare, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. It was Sooflie's actions which forced the Red Iaro to alter their philosophy, and their terrorist activities were changed to ousting Sooflie in favor of the old regime. Sooflie was briefly captured by the Red Iaro, but was freed when the Jedi intervened. He left Malastare without a full treaty, and gruffly failed to thank the Jedi for his life. (ETM)

Sooga
This word from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "food." (GPB)

Sook
The Ewok word for rock, it comes from the name of one of the Ancient Token of the Legendary Ewok Heroes. The Sook was given to the party member who needs direction for his feelings. Logray bestowed it upon Mace Towani, whose anger and aggression at the loss of his parents needed to be channeled. Mace discarded the rock, but Wicket recovered it, saving it until Mace needed it. Inside the Sook was a magic arrow head that will scoot along the ground, leading the party to a hidden destination. (EA)

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

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

Sookcool, Avaro
This Tetsus Rodian associate of Lando Calrissian ran the Flip of the Credit, a seedy casino in Equator City, on Rodia. Avaro spoke Basic well enough, but he had a lisp which impeded his speech. He was also Greedo's uncle, but held no grudge against Lando and Leia Organa when they arrived on Rodia shortly before the Battle of Endor, claiming "business is business." Avaro was also a member of the Black Sun organization, reporting ostensibly to Clezo but with a direct line to Xizor himself. (SE, SESB)

Sool, Loiin
This Yuuzhan Vong was a member of the Shamed Ones, during the height of the aliens' invasion of the galaxy. A former Shaper, Loiin Sool was living on the reformed world of Coruscant when Nen Yim began her search for the truth about Zonama Sekot. She ordered Loiin Sool to make contact with the individual known as Yu'shaa, the Prophet of the Shamed Ones who was inciting a revolution based on the Jedi Heresy. Loiin Sool was to tell the Prohpet that Nen Yim wanted to meet with him to discuss the location of the planet living planet called Zoanam Sekot. (FP)

Soolehad
This Rodian went by the pseudonym of Falloon, during the early decades of the New Republic, in order to avoid being identified. Soolehad was once a senior accountant for the Black Sun criminal organization, and still maintained may century's worth of data in the memory banks of his protocol droid, 9T-LOM. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the known galaxy, Soolehad used his Falloon alias to obtain passage off Sriluur, in order to return to Coruscant with the information in 9T-LOM's brain still intact. He hoped to turn 9T-LOM over to some former Black Sun leaders for a considerable reward. After he revealed his true identity to the mercenaries who got him off Sriluur and back to Coruscant, Soolehad turned 9T-LOM in for a considerable reward, then retired. (WOA13)

Sools, Jiri

Sor X
This Sullustan shuttle was carrying the Sullustan ambassador who agreed to meet with Alliance delegates aboard the corvette DS to discuss joining the Alliance, several months before the Battle of Yavin. The shuttle and the ambassador were captured by Imperial forces, but were later rescued by Alliance forces led by Keyan Farlander. (XWP)

Sorannan, Sil
This Imperial Major was stationed in the Koornacht Cluster, as part of the Black Sword Command. He was one of the survivors of the Yevethan rebellion, and became the de facto leader of the prisoners on Pa'aal. He and his cohorts were dispatched to individual Yevethan warships to assist in expanding Nil Spaar's armed forced, which played into their plans perfectly. He and his officers arranged an elaborate plot that involved the coordinated takeover of a great portion of Spaar's navy during the final battle of the Black Fleet Crisis, robbing Spaar of any advantage he may have held. Sorannan himself took control of the Pride of Yevetha, and captured Nil Spaar. As Sorannan and his officers fled the Koornacht, they deposited Nil Spaar into hyperspace aboard an escape pod as the Imperials headed toward Byss and the Deep Core. (TT)

Sorcerers of Rhand
This group of Dark Side adherents made their home in the Nihil Retreat, deep in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. (LSSM)

Sorcerers of Tund
An allegedly ancient and mysterious brotherhood of magicians from the Tund System, these overly flashy sorcerers clothed themselves in distinctive charcoal-gray robes and turban-like headgear that covered everything but their eyes. It was unknown if all the sorcerers were of the same race or from a variety of races, since no one outside the brotherhood ever saw one without their robes on. What was known was that each Sorcerer had some connection to the Force. The Jedi Knights knew of the Sorcerers, who called their connection to the Force "magic." The Jedi Council of the ancient Old Republic chose to allow the Sorcerers to continue their dabblings in the Force, provided that they didn't turn very far down the path to the Dark Side.

It was believed that the original Sorcerers of Tund were descendants of the ancient Sith race who meditated on The Unity, which was their name for the Force. These beings were exiled from the Sith Empire when they embraced the teachings of the Rakata and took up a more serene contemplation of the Force, refusing to allow violence to draw them into the Dark Side of the Force. Rather than resorting to the violence that distinguished the Sith Empire, the Sorcerers of Tund retreated to the Tund System and took up their own contemplation of the universe. While these Sith still understood the need for conflict in life, they believed that there were no true opposites in life, and that there were no light and dark sides to the Force. Instead, the original Sorcerers of Tund believed that the Force was a harmonious combination of shades. This changed when Karnak Tetsu rose to power, and he went on a violent rampage that forced the Jedi Order to label them as heretics.

In the aftermath of the Battle of Ruusan, the Sorcerers were all but forgotten. The Jedi Order made a visit to the Tund System, although it was unclear if they were trying to recruit the Sorcerers to join the Army of Light. What no one realized was that, near the end of the Clone Wars, the Sorcerers of Tund had been wiped out, and the planet Tund reduced to a glowing ball of ash, by Rokur Gepta. Gepta continued to spread rumours and stories about the Sorcerers, to keep his mystique valid. Emperor Palpatine even became interested in the Sorcerers, believing that their religious teachings were based on ancient Sith doctrines. When Roku Gepta was destroyed by Lando Calrissian during the early years of the New Order, it was believed that the Sorcerers of Tund were finally extinct. (LCM, ECH, DSSB, EGF, WOTC)

Soresh, Ilaani
This woman was a native of the planet Dreizan, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Ilaani was married to Rezi Soresh, an officer in the Imperial armed forces. Their son, Kimali, was attending one of the Imperial Academies when it was discovered that he was part of a group of Alliance supporters. Ilaani worked behind the scenes to help Kimali avoid being arrested, providing him with documentation that gave Kimali a new identity. She then allowed Rezi one last chance to see his son before Kimali disappeared. Rezi, however, could not ignore his Imperial loyalties, and turned his family in as traitors to the Empire. Ilaani and Kimali were sent to the Gree Baaker Labor Camp, and were later assigned to the labor force that served aboard the first Death Star. Unfortunately, this meant that both Ilaani and Kimali were killed when the Death Star was destroyed at the Battle of Yavin. (RF1)

Soresh, Kimali
This young man, a native of the planet Dreizan, was the son of Rezi and Ilaani Soresh. Kimali followed oin his father's footsteps and joined one of the Imperial Academies, but he discovered that he had no loyalty to the Empire. Kimali joined a group of Alliance sympathizers, but was discovered and was to be sent to prison. His mother, Ilaani, intervened, providing Kimali with documentation that allowed him to assume a new identity. Kimali met briefly with his father before disappearing, but his freedom only lasted a few months. Kimali and Ilaani had been identified by Rezi as traitors, and Imperial forces quickly captured them both and sent them to the Gree Baaker Labor Camp. Kimali and Ilaani were later dispatched to serve as part of the labor force aboard the first Death Star, but both were killed when the space station was destroyed during the Battle of Yavin. (RF1)

Soresh, Rezi
A native of the planet Dreizan, this man served as an officer in the Imperial armed forces, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. His son, Kimali, attended one of the Imperial Academies, but was discovered to have joined a group of Alliance sympathizers. Rezi's wife, Ilaani, helped make sure that their son was able to avoid being arrested, and gave Rezi a chance to say goodbye before Kimali made his escape. Rather than allow such treachery to occur, Rezi turned them both in to the Imperial Security Bureau, earning him a promotion to Commander. Rezi still loved his family, but he broke off all contact with them when they were sent to the Gree Baaker Labor Camp. However, his family was part of the group that was stationed aboard the first Death Star, performing general labor, when the space station was destroyed near Yavin. Emperor Palpatine used Rezi's anger at the lost of his family to focus Rezi on locating the man who destroyed the Death Star.

Rezi knew that his peers considered him something of a coward for his actions, using schemes and cunning rather than guts and actions to earn his promotion. This did not stop him from cultivating a network of spies and assassins to help him carry out his missions. He called upon this network when he made his plans to identify and eliminate the pilot who destroyed the Death Star, hoping to discover the information before Darth Vader, and thereby gain favor with the Emperor. In secret, Soresh trained a group of spies to carry out the most grueling missions, personally overseeing their training in order to ensure that any survivors were ready for the job. The only survivor was a man known only by his designation in the program, X-7. He had X-7 infiltrate the Alliance's base on Yavin IV, hoping that close contact with the rebels would produce the information necessary to locate the pilot. However, despite the fact that X-7 was able to insinuate himself into the company of Princess Leia Organa and discover that the pilot's name was Luke Skywalker, the agent was unable to eliminate him. Soresh grew increasingly impatient, and threatened to restart X-7's training program if he failed to complete the mission. (RF1, RF3)

S'orn, Ren
This young Belascan man was the son of Senator Uta S'orn. He was born Force-sensitive, and longed to attend the training given to potential Jedi at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. However, his mother forbid any contact with the Jedi, and Ren fled Belasco. When his mother petitioned the Jedi Knights to help locate him, Ren rejected their offer to return to his mother. Some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo, it was reported to the Jedi that Ren had died on Simpla-12, and that all the blood had been drained from his body. His death appeared surprisingly similar to that of Fligh, who had stolen Senator S'orn's datapad. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Astri Oddo discovered that Ren had submitted himself to the testing of Jenna Zan Arbor, who was searching for the key to the mystery of the Force. He ordered her to release him, but he returned to Simpla-12 a broken man. (DH, EVE)

S'orn, Uta
This woman was the Senator from the planet Belasco, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. She had planned to retire after trying to form a coalition of support to halt the activities of the Tech Raiders, but she was forced to announce it earlier when Fligh stole her datapad. He obtained it one day when Uta put it down while eating the Senate commissary, but she chose not to report the theft in order to ensure the success of her coalition. Shortly after Fligh's death, it was revealed that Senator S'orn's son, Ren, was Force-sensitive, and that she had forbade his attending of the Jedi Temple's training. Ren fled Belasco, and remained separated from him mother for years, despite her efforts to have the Jedi Knights bring him home. Her decision to retire came on the heels of Ren's death on Simpla-12, which Senator S'orn claimed had occupied her mind to the point that she could no longer concentrate. She returned to Belasco and remained something of a recluse, only coming out of her dwelling to help tend to the children who were made ill by the bacterial infection which swept the planet every seven years. It was later revealed that Senator S'orn had, in fact, been helping Jenna Zan Arbor propogate her studies of the Force but infecting innocent worlds with bio-engineered viruses, then "rescuing" them with expensive treatments. Senator S'orn had been falsifying Senate records to indicate support for Arbor Industries, and stored the original records on her datapad for use in blackmail in an emergency. Uta S'orn admitted to her part in Zan Arbor's plans, and was exiled on a penal colony with Zan Arbor for the rest of her life. (DH, EVE, TDR)

Sornell, Koblus
This ancient Mandalorian Neo-Crusader was part of the crew of the Nehutyc, during the Mandalorian Wars. A signals expert, Sornell and his men were stationed on the planet Taris, after the Mandalorians took control of the planet. While there, Sornell and his men began to receive a seemingly unending stream of transmissions from a Galactic Republic officer known as Captain Goodvalor. Goodvalor and his executive officer, Commander True, bombarded the Mandalorians with propaganda, and urged them to put down their weapons and stop fighting for the Mandalore. Sornell and his men were soon sent to track down Goodvalor and his transmissions. They traveled to the Zongorlu System, carrying with them a small signalling device that was to be deployed in orbit around Zongorlu.

Instead finding a Republic task force, however, Sornell and his men found a small space station that appeared to be all that was left of Goodvalor's command. Most other ships in the system were nothing more than orbital debris, and many of those appeared to be decades old. Zongorlu itself was something of an enigma, since the planet home to a mild-manner race of sentient plants, and seemed to have very little in the way of value to either side of the war. Sornell and his men placed their signal beacon and then returned to the planet's surface, awaiting the arrival of Cassus Fett. In the meantime, Captain Goodvalor sent another transmission to Zongorlu, this time offering the Mandalorians a chance to cease their hostilities in exchange for a percentage of the taxes the Republic would obtain from the worlds the Mandalorians once controlled. Sornell sent a transmission declining the offer, a decision that was later grudgingly supported by Cassus Fett. (OWS)

This female Twi'lek worked as the day shift manager at the Kragget restaurant on Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. She was good friends with Laseema, and helped with the care of Venku Skirata after the child's birth. It was Soronna who greeted Etain Tur-Mukan when the Jedi Knight returned to Coruscant shortly after the First Battle of Coruscant, following the so-called Jedi Rebellion. She immediately questioned Etain's decision to return to the capital, given that any Jedi was to be shot or taken into custody upon sight, but she gladly helped Etain find a change of clothing. Soronna then threw Etain's Jedi robes into an incinerator, and urged Etain to get rid of the two lightsabers she was carrying. (RC66)

SoroSuub Corporation
A diversified conglomerate headquartered on Sullust, SoroSuub manufactured such diverse products as food packaging, space mining tools, blaster weapons, and repulsorlift crafts. With its diverse portfolio of products, SoroSuub came to employ nearly half the entire population of Sullust in its laboraties and factories. When the New Order was spreading through the galaxy, the Sullustan Council was disbanded, and SoroSuub announced corporate proclamation 137d, stating that it was assuming leadership of the planet. Then, it declared that it would be fully supporting the Empire with its goods and services, and denounced the Alliance as criminals and malcontents. This occurred on the 62nd day of the Sullustan year 8,494. SoroSuub was also one of the original non-voting Contributing Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. All of this didn't sit well with many Sullustan employees, who saw the Empire for what it really was - a pro-human dictatorship. A well-planned coup was staged in the wake of the Battle of Hoth, which saw the pro-Imperial leadership of SoroSuub ousted in a quiet takeover. Following the Battle of Endor and the role of the Sullustans in it, they were able to retake control of SoroSuub and ally it with the New Republic. Corporate proclamation 137d was officially rescinded, and the Sullustan Council was re-established to control the planet Sullust as a separate entity from the SoroSuub Corporation. SoroSuub continued to be the planet's primary economic entity, and it shared civic duties with the Sullustan Council. (COTF, SWSB, EGV, CSA, RESB, NEGW, GORW)

(FP)

Sorran
This man was the pirate captain who staged an assault on Naboo's TFP-9 space station, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. He commanded the assault from his flagship, the Velumina. He claimed to have been employed by Challep, the planetary governor of Agamar, who wanted to obtain several of the Naboo N-1 starfighters and a Naboo Police Cruiser, in an effort to reverse-engineer the Nubian drives and bolster his own security force. Sorran was told that Dren Melne, a member of Naboo's Bravo Squadron, would assist in obtaining the starships. However, Dren didn't count on resistance from Essara Till and the loyal Naboo pilots of Echo Flight. When it became apparent that Dren would be unable to deliver the starfighters, Sorran ordered Dren's own ship destroyed, in an effort to remove any link back to his employers. The Velumina then jumped into hyperspace and disappeared. (SFT)

This black-haired man worked for the CreedCon Construction company as an engineer, during the final years of the Old Republic. Sorrent was among the handful of workers who were hired for the bridge construction project that Thaedius Creed envisioned as part of his racecourse facility, but disappeared after his team discovered the ancient burial cave in which the Tarasin had trapped the t'salak, many generations before. A group of freelance agents hired by Thaedius Creed to locate the construction team discovered Mant Buume's datapad, but little else, because the crew had been captured by the Dark Jedi known as Raik Muun. They were taken to Tilnes, where Muun managed to breed a second t'salak. Although Muun managed to escape, Sorrent and his crew were rescued by a team that had been hired by the Almas Academy to locate Nek Lawsirk. (FOC1)

Sorrusian
This race of humanoids was native to the planet Sorrus. They were adept at changing their appearance via subtle manipulation of skin coloration, and their skeletal system was flexible enough to allow them to compress and conform their bodies to a variety of shapes and sizes. This allowed Sorrusians to move through obstacles which would block a normal human. Most people considered Sorrusians to be friendly beings, until you asked them a question. (DH, EVE)

Sor-Sull II
This Sullustan frigate was rescued from an Imperial attack near Sullust by Keyan Farlander and the Rescue group of shuttles, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Unfortunately, the rescue of the Sor-Sull II distracted the Alliance's forces from an Imperial attack on a group of Sullustan leaders. Farlander and his team were then tasked with rescuing the leader, an event that helped to ensure that the Sullustan people remained loyal to the Alliance. (XW, XWP)

Sorth, Dellin

Sorting Center
This Imperial facility, established on the planet Mindor, was were Lord Shadowspawn judged whether or not a native of the planet was worthy of serving in his army. Those captives that were deemed worthy were allowed to become part of Shadowspawn's army. Those that were deemed unworthy were never seen again. The Sorting Center itself was a massive cavern that had been fusion-formed from the surrounding meltmassif stone, and the black-glass walls gave the Sorting Center the appearance of a gleaming cathedral. Lighting was provided by repulsorlift lightglobes. Captives were taken from planets throughout the Mid Rim, as Shadowspawn's forces launched their raids against New Republic worlds. Each time, a few prisoners were taken during the raids, but never enough to draw attention to the fact that more than possible were missing from a battle site. These prisoners were transported to Mindor to be re-conditioned to serve as soldiers. (LSSM)

As a result, vitually none of the planet's original lifeforms existed at the height of the New Order. (PGT, LOE)

Soth, Edderon "Torque"
This male Ugnaught was a member of the Ugnaught Mechanics Union during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, but was continually late in paying his dues.

Sot-sirc - a name taken from spelling part of his given name backwards - was something of an information broker, whose presence in a star system often resulted in chaos and death. It was believed that Sot-sirc worked for just above very major faction in the galaxy, from the Hutt crime syndicates to the Jedi Order and the office of the Supreme Chancellor. During the Clone Wars, it was learned that Sot-sirc had been the individual who dug up all the information on the Darkstaff and where to find it, a job he did for Len Markus and which almost led to the destruction of the Cularin System. Thus, when a computer hacker known as ins1dr posted information on Sot-sirc's return to Cularin, many of the system's inhabitants feared the worst. (LFCW)

In addition to the ship's already-formidable systems, Grievous had the Soulless One plated with a layer of impervium for added protection. Interestingly, Grievous never removed the life support systems in the ship, which proved to be a boon when Obi-Wan Kenobi stole the fighter during his escape from Utapau, in the wake of the command to execute Order 66. Kenobi later took the ship to Nar Shaddaa and sold it, obtaining enough credits to take the infant Luke Skywalker to Tatooine. The Soulless One was eventually recovered by the Empire, after learning of its sale from a cyborg who knew of Obi-Wan's history. The ship was taken to Geonosis and hidden, where plans were made to use it as part of the N-K Project. (OWS)

Southern Bandomeer Consolidated
This collection of ice-mining operations owned and operated the Sub-70 Ice Mines on the planet Bandomeer. Southern Bandomeer Consolidated worked hard to maintain the belief that working in the ice mines was much more dangerous than working in the ionite and azurite mines of the land-based mining operations, such as the Offworld Mining Company. The reason behind this ruse was a well-kept secret: Southern Bandomeer Consolidated needed strong, experienced miners to handle the extraction of metals and minerals from the ice, but couldn't spare the personnel to actually train them. Thus, by cultivating the belief that the ice mines were a virtual death sentence, they could literally "buy" miners from Offworld and other corporations. Because the work in the ice mines was "exceptionally difficult", Southern Bandomeer Consolidated only bought Wookiees, Whiphids, and other strong-bodied races. Once a miner was purchased and brought to corporate headquarters, they were given a choice: continue working for Southern Bandomeer Consolidated as an employee, or find work offplanet. In this way, Southern Bandomeer Consolidated obtained a wealth of eager miners, and helped free many other beings from the virtual enslavement they were enduring with other mining operations. (GORW)

This was the title given to the highest-ranking Imperial Royal Guards. The Sovereign Protectors were a highly-trained and motivated group of elite guards, chosen for their fitness, stamina, and strength, as well as their loyalty to Emperor Palpatine. They were tutored by the Dark Side Adepts in the use of the Force, but they had control of only the most elementary abilities. (DE1, DESB, OWS)

Sovereign-class Star Destroyer
These huge, 15-kilometer-long warships were to be the penultimate Imperial weapon, surpassed only by the Eclipse-class Star Destroyer. Designed to instill fear, the Sovereign-class ships were equipped with an axial superlaser designed to destroy planets in much the same way the Death Star's laser eye would. Manned by 601,670 crewers and 4,075 gunners, the Sovereign-class also boasted 500 heavy turbolaser cannons, 500 turbolaser batteries, 75 ion cannons, 100 tractor beam projectors, and 5 gravity well projectors.

Very few beings knew that she had extensive contacts in the criminal underworld, and she worked hard to keep them a secret. To preserve the secret, she left much of the day-to-day operations of her criminal activities to a Bothan she called Uncle Dravos. (PSG)

Sovra
This was a species of small, poisonous creature. (SWJ14)

Sovv
This surname was common among the Sullustan race, and meant "pilot" in the Sullustan language. (GCG)

Sovv, Sien
This Sullustan Admiral was the backbone of the New Republic Defense Force, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. In the wake of the debacle at the Battle of Fondor, Sien Sovv barely overcame a vote of no confidence within the New Republic Senate. He happened to be leading a small fleet of warships in the vicinity of Reecee when Han Solo discovered Yuuzhan Vong forces massing near the Black Bantha. Sovv was forced to engage the Yuuzhan Vong, in an effort to disrupt their plans to attack Coruscant. His fleet was woefully small, and only delayed the second wave of ships which eventually attacked Coruscant. In the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant, Admiral Sien Sovv was the highest ranking officer in the Navy, and was designated by Senator Pwoe as the Supreme Commander of the remaining New Republic armed forces. Unfortunately, this rank stood even after Pwoe was ostracized on Kuat, and Admiral Sovv was forced to take the brunt of the criticism when New Republic forces were soundly defeated in many battles against the alien invaders. After the Yuuzhan Vong surrendered to the Galactic Alliance at Coruscant some five years after the start of their invasion, Admiral Sovv unexpectedly decided to retire. He was succeeded by Traest Kre'fey, but remained attached to the military until his untimely death about six years later. He was killed when the Vratix pilots of a freighter got inebriated on black membrosia and collided with Admiral Sovv's vessel. Although many other beings died in the collision, the presence of Admiral Sovv in the area led many beings to speculate that the collision was not an accident, but a heartless assassination attempt. The Galactic Alliance's Chief of State, Cal Omas, intimated this during his short speech at Admiral Sovv's funeral, vowing to bring those responsible to justice. Omas went so far as to implicate the Colony in Sovv's assassination, although he lacked any evidence beyond the presence of black membrosia that linked the Killiks to the collision.

Sowrs, Nahk
This youngster was one of he children of Noana Sowrs, the Constable of the Lower City of Taris, during the height of the Mandalorian Wars. Nahk and Tallie Sowrs were kidnapped by Brejik, just prior to the Mandalorian invasion of Taris, in an attempt to ransom them off for a huge sum of credits. Brejik had enlisted the help of Griff Vao to keep the children hidden and safe, while Brejik himself tried to figure out how to send a ransom note in the middle of the resistance against the Mandalorians. Griff's little sister, Mission Vao, believed that he was taking food to feed a hidden pet, and took Zayne Carrick to the hiding place to show him. Zayne discovered the children, and exposed Brejik's plans to Gadon Thek. Thek then arranged to return the children to Constable Sowrs, and the Constable had them sent off-world to rejoin their father and avoid the coming conflict. (KOR7, KORV)

Sowrs, Noana
This woman served as the Constable of Taris' Lower City, during the years following the Great Sith War. Just after the Mandalorian attack on Taris, some 3,963 years before the Battle of Yavin, the Constable's children were kidnapped. No ransom notice was ever delivered, but Sowrs came to believe that the Hidden Beks were behind the kidnapping. Although the leader of the Hidden Beks, Gadon Thek, initially claimed innocence in the matter, he later learned that Brejik had been behind the kidnappings. In an attempt to return the children and earn the Constable's good graces, Thek arranged to meet with the police in the Lower City. The meeting was interrupted by Raana Tey and Shel Jelavan, who tried to kill Zayne Carrick, creating a stalemate between disparate forces that were all trying to free Taris from the Mandalorians. Gadon Thek then revealed that it had been Zayne and Mission Vao who discovered the location of Nahk and Tallie, the Constable's children, and he then returned the children to their mother's side. Grateful for their help in recovering her children, Constable Sowrs agreed to work with the Hidden Beks to form a more united front against the Mandalorians. After seeing that her children were safely evacuated from Taris, Constable Sowrs found herself cut off from the resistance when the Mandalorians attacked their hidden bases. She fled into the sewers, but was bitten by a rakghoul. Celeste Morne caught up with her, and waited until Sowrs had turned fully into a rakghoul before using her lightsaber to end her life. (KOR1, KOR7, KORV)

Sowrs, Tallie

SP4
This was the designation of the fourth-highest-ranking staff officer who served the Major General of an Imperial Army corps. (ISB)

SP-4
This was a model of analysis droid that was developed by Cybot Galactica , during the last decades of the Old Republic. Based on the PK-series of labor droids, the SP-4 series was modified by Cybot Galactica to have enhanced sensory apparatus and behavioral circuitry which allowed it to monitor its environment. This gave the SP-4 the ability to gauge any being who approached it, gleaning information from the being's actions and behavior. The vocoder of the SP-4 was shaped like the long snout of a Pa'lowick. Although the primary market for SP-4 units was in scientific investigation and forensic analysis, many of these units were purchased by the Jedi Order to serve as library assistants in the Jedi Archives. Despite their popularity and widespread use, SP-4 units were often regarded as incapable of making intuitive leapsin their thinking, a fault that was often noted in criminal investigations when the SP-4 unit could not crack a particularly complex case.

SP-80
This was the designation of a series of programmable, single-puprose droids that were produced during the early years of the New Republic. (COJ)

SP-99
This protocol droid was part of the Sith droid pool that was assigned to monitor the activities of the Jedi Knights and military leaders of the Old Republic, during the months that followed the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant. The treaty was signed after the Sith managed to capture the planet Coruscant, during the final stages of the Great Galactic War. Known as Espee, SP-99 was assigned to monitor Jedi Master Dar'nala and Satele Shan, a Jedi Knight who was Dar'nala's former student. When their ship was attacked, SP-99 feared that it might be pirates, and asked the Jedi to investigate. Satele Shan agreed to take a look, and encountered soldiers from the Imperial Army had boarded the ship. When she killed them in battle, SP-99 was quick to point out that her actions violated the newly-signed peace treaty. When Satele then boarded an escape pod, on orders from Master Dar'nala to escape from the Sith, SP-99 got into the escape pod with her, following its orders to monitor her activities at all times. SP-99 continued with this mission when Satele was assigned by Master Orgus to travel to Dantooine and help Fortris Gall to halt the fighting there. However, on Dantooine, Lieutenant Tavus discovered SP-99 lurking in the shadows while he was communicating with Gall. Without warning, Tavus drew his blaster and shot the droid, which exploded into pieces. (TOP1, TOP2)

Spa Ronii, Dustini
A Duro, he was helping the archeaologists preserve the Duro history in the Valley of Royalty when Kadann started stealing their artifacts. Dustini was elected to leave Duro and seek help from the Alliance, which he did. (MMY, GMR2)

Spaar
This Yevethan clan rose to power just after the Battle of Endor, as the Imperial presence in the Koornacht Cluster began to dwindle. Nil Spaar became the primary power among the Yevetha, killing the former Viceroy in order to make his own way into the position. (SOL)

Spaar, Nil
This cunning Yevethan was in charge of the Yevethan workers at the Imperial shipyard known as Black 15, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. While there, he plotted to overthrow the Imperials and take control of the shipyards for the Yevethans, and bided his time while working under Jian Paret. When the Empire issued orders to evacuate the shipyards and destroy any non-spaceworthy ships, Nil Spaar heard it almost as quickly as Paret did, and put his plans into motion. The Yevethan workers gained access to all spaceworthy Imperial craft, and slaughtered their crews. Nil Spaar personally executed Jian Paret and took control of the Intimidator.

With his plan under way, Nil Spaar and the Yevetha retreated into the Koornacht Cluster to repair their stolen ships and plan the next phase of attack. This next phase began twelve years later, and would become known among the Yevetha as the Great Purge. In order to cover up as much of the Yevethan aggression as possible, Nil Spaar traveled to Coruscant on the pretext of discussing a mutual relationship between the Yevethan Duskhan League and the New Republic with Leia Organa-Solo. Spaar carefully avoided forming an alliance while probing for weaknesses in the New Republic's government. On the side, Spaar wooed certain New Republic Senators who opposed Leia's ideals, and through them sowed seeds of unrest in the Senate.

When Leia and her advisors discovered the missing Black Sword Command, Nil Spaar again called the Yevetha to act, and used a carefully orchestarted series of events to his own ends. Attacks were launched at several worlds of the Koornacht Cluster, where Yevethan forces wiped out entire civilizations. When the New Republic tried to respond, Nil Spaar twisted the truth to appear as if Leia were the agressor and himself an innocent victim, while launching a massive wave of extermination throughout the Koornacht. The Yevetha wiped out any non-Yevethan settlements, keeping intact any strategic mines or businesses. Nil Spaar then retreated to N'Zoth to enjoy the fruits of his labors.

He used the New Republic's HoloNet communications network to bombard the citizens and Senators with slanderous accusations against Leia, and he fostered relationships with several disgruntled Senators. He also placed Belezaboth Ourn on Coruscant, who provided him with a great deal of advanced information on the Republic's moves with regard to the Yevetha. When the Republic decided to send Han Solo to command the Fifth Battle Group on a mission to confront the Yevetha, Nil Spaar ordered that Solo be captured, as a way to bring Leia under his control. At the same time, he began breeding with several Yevethan females, hoping to ensure his immortality through prodigious offspring.

Taking some of the advice of Tal Fraan, Spaar kept a group of prisoners - taken from each of the worlds the Yevetha had purged - on the Pride of Yevetha. This assured that the Republic would not take direct action against him, for fear of harming innocent captives. Among the captives was Han Solo, but this did not stop Chewbacca and Lumpawarump from attempting to penetrate the Star Destroyer's defenses and rescue Solo. During the rescue, the Wookiees also destroyed many of Spaar's mara-nas casks, eliminating many of Nil Spaar's offspring. This series of events angered Spaar into taking foolish actions, which led to his eventual defeat at the Battle of N'zoth.

Unbeknownst to Nil Spaar, the Imperial officers he had kept prisoner ever since the Yevetha took control of the Black Sword shipyards were also rising up against him. Led by Sil Sorannan, the Imperials took control of several Yevethan warships during the Battle of N'zoth, including the Pride of Yevetha. Sorannan, wanting to kill Nil Spaar outright but also wanting the Yevethan leader to suffer for his actions, forced Spaar into an escape pod as the Super-class Star Destroyer travelled through hyperspace toward Byss. The pod was ejected into hyperspace, and Nil Spaar was never heard from again. (BTS, SOL, TT)

Spaarti Creations
This corporation was created on the planet Cartao as part of a joint effort between the human and Cranscoc populations. The unique aspect of Spaarti Creations' manufacturing line was that it had evolved out of Cranscoc fluid technology, allowing it to be retooled in a few hours to meet any new configuration. Much of the technology was not understood, and seemed to be organically linked to the Cranscoc themselves. For this reason, access to the manufacturing facilities was heavily restricted, and many workers were required to live on-site in order to prevent unauthorized entry. Just south of the facility was a strip of grassland, which the Cranscoc had set aside from their own use. No one was allowed to build on it, nor were people allowed to travel across it. The presence of other beings on this land upset the Cranscoc, which affected their ability to manipulate the fluid-technology on the manufacturing lines. Thus, the leaders of Cartao enforced the restrictions on the grassland. Spaarti Creations was nationalized by the Old Republic about a year into the Clone Wars, in an effort to generate more modern cloning facilities. Kinman Doriana was dispatched to Cartao to negotiate the changeover, and his efforts were nearly thwarted when the Separatists learned of the mission. The Separatists swarmed in and took control of Spaarti Creations, and Doriana enlisted the help of those around him in an effort to force them out. These plans, however, were dashed when a Republic gunship piloted by a task force of Jedi Knights, was purposely crashed into the main manufacturing facility. Doriana later discovered that the gunship had been piloted remotely by an agent of Darth Sidious, who used the destruction of Spaarti Creations to create a groundswell of hatred toward the Jedi Knights. Known to only Doriana, Sidious, and Chancellor Palpatine, however, was the fact that several thousand cloning cylinders had been rescued from the doomed facility, which were quickly stored on Wayland. (SWI68, SWI70)

Spaarti Cylinders
Originally designed early in the Clone Wars by Spaarti Creations on the planet Cartao, these specially-designed canisters provided a more modern method for the Old Republic to generate clone troopers for the Army of the Republic. Spaarti cylinders represented a refinement of the Kaminoan technology that was used for the original clone troopers. Each cylinder was stood about four meters in height, and was essentially a mechanical womb that was filled with chemical nutrients and organic catalyzers. The clone that was created was monitored as it grew inside the cylinder, and special organic polymers were injected into the cylinder to improve the skin of the clone. These polymers bonded with the skin to form a membrane that protected the clone during the decanting process. The process used by Spaarti cylinders produced clones in just over a standard year, much faster than the original Kaminoan process.

During the battle for control of the planet Cartao at the height of the Clone Wars, most of these cylinders were destroyed at the Spaarti Creations facility. Chancellor Palpatine, however, saved a number of them in his warehouse hidden within Mount Tantiss, on the planet Wayland. He had planned to use them to create clones of himself, in order to circumvent death. These cylinders were lost for decades until Grand Admiral Thrawn rediscovered them. He used them to clone troopers to augment his own forces, including the captured Dreadnaughts of the Katana Fleet, during the early years of the New Republic. The only known drawback to the use of Spaarti Cylinders was that they tended to create clones that went insane farily rapidly, as a result of their accelerated growth cycle.

Space Barge
Any heavy-duty short-range transport ship used to shuttle cargo between faster hyperdrive transports or orbital installations. (SWSB)

Space Beldon
Related to the beldon that inhabited the Life Zone of Bespin and many other gas giant planets, the space beldon was adapted to live in the gaseous, interstellar regions defined by nebulae and minor gas clouds. Individual specimens were known to roam a limited region of space, subsisting on the various gases they could scoop into their systems. Over the eons, an individual beldon converted these gases into rethin, which kept the space beldon inflated, and tibanna gas, which it expelled. Space beldons also exuded a mild acid, which allowed them to consume the solid elements found in asteroids. In comparison to their planetary cousins, the space beldon was much faster in its rate of movement, to avoid asteroids and other space-borne debris. Like normal beldons, the space beldon built up an internal charge of ions, which it discharged as a defense mechanism. (WOTC)

Space Buggy
This was Imperial fighter pilot slang for a TIE Fighter. (TSC)

Space Carrots

This medium transport was owned and operated by Core to Rim Shipping, and was under the command of Prem Nistt shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (FBS)

Space Grazers
An alien lifeform, thought to be extinct for thousands of years before the Great Sith War. Aleema used Dark-Side illusions of them to try and deter the combined Jedi-Republic force that was sent to liberate the Empress Teta system. They were said to be space-faring, floating in the ether between the stars and eating any unsuspecting ships that passed near them. They resemble huge amoeba-like slugs with jellyfish-like tentacles hanging below them. (DLS)

Space Master Medium Transport
This starship was part of a generic line of transport ships produced by Kuat Drive Yards. Measuring eighty meters in length, this Space Master transport had a long fuselage that allowed for a variety of cargo modules to be attached to it. The forward section of the ship was a circular disk that contained the cockpit and main quarters, while the engine array was mounted at the rear. The medium transport required a crew of eight to operate, and could accommodate up to four passengers and 19,000 metric tons of cargo. In its stock form, the Space Master could be armed with up to four turret-mounted, twin laser cannons. (GMR4)

Space Ministry
This branch of the Galactic Alliance assumed the role of the Imperial Space Ministry in regulating and enforcing the laws of space travel in the galaxy. The Space Ministry also published the Spacers' Information Manual, which contained more than 5,946 datapages worth of information on laws, regulations, and administrative requirements for starship owners and pilots. In addition to regulating space travel, the Space Ministry also maintained the galaxy's most accurate hyperspace travel information, which it made available to spaceports and starship captains for a nominal fee. A being had to have a Captain's Accredited License as a Ship's Operating License in order to purchase the information. The information was maintained on a daily basis for the most traveled hyperspace routes, in order to account for the orbital movement of planets, moons, stars, and other bodies. Outlying regions of the galaxy were not monitored as frequently, and hyperspace travel information in the Outer Rim Territories might be as much as a month old. There was no generally-available data on the Deep Core, Wild Space, or the Unknown Regions, nor was information made available on military or governmental installations. (SSOG)

Space Patrol

Space Pirate Boogie
A dance Han Solo taught to Leia at his housewarming party on Bespin. (ZHR)

Space Pirates of Iridium
This group of Old Republic bandits raided spice haulers using power gems, scouring the Atrivis Sector for more and more plunder. They were finally stopped by the Jedi Knights, who dispatched Kit Fisto and a team of Jedi to bring about an end to their predations. (CSW, OWS)

Space Pirates of the Galaxy
This holo-series was popular during the early years of the New Order. (MDCAR)

Space Poker
This was a card game popular among pilots and other military individuals. The deck of card was covered with different spacial bodies, such as planets and moons. Each round was marked by the use of propulsions and turbos to try and improve a players hand. The primary goal was to get the best combination of spacial objects among the cards in your hand. A full planetary system was one of the best hands. (SA1, SA2)

Space Rangers
This was the name assigned to agents of the Intergalactic Law Agency. (MDCAR)

Space Rangers
This was one of two elite fighting units of the Galactic Alliance military, along with the Gamma Corps, that were headquartered at the General Crix Madine Military Reserve, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. (LF3)

Space Rescue Corps
This branch of the Old Republic military was charged with maintaining the safety of space travellers everywhere. Even after the rise of Emperor Palpatine and the Imperial Navy, the Space Rescue Corps was allowed to provide rescue services to registered starship owners. The SRC painted their rescue vessels with a striking red and black pattern for easy recognition. (FOP)

Space Singer
This was the term used to describe those Shashay who act not only as musical performers, but as starship navigators. The term was first created when a Shashay starship was forced to land on Kashyyyk after experiencing a malfunction. The Wookiees helped the Shashay crew repair their ship, but the only thing the Shashay had to offer as repayment was an evening of song. In an alternate usage, Shashay navigators were called space singers. The song of the Shashay was a complicated combination of trills and riffs, and the mental acumen required to memorize and perform the song lent itself to the ability to manipulate navigational coordinates. The Alliance employed the Shashay as navigators during the Galactic Civil War. (TA)

Space Skeet
A target-shooting activity which uses low-power laser rifles to shoot specialized targets launched into space. The shooter shoots from behind a transparisteel barrier, while the target was launched into space. When the laser beam strikes the target, it explodes in a bright flash, indicating a hit. (RM)

Space Slug
To many beings in the galaxy, especially during the final centuries of the Old Republic, the space slug was nothing more than a legend. A pink, snake-like creature capable of living in the vacuum of space, the space slug supposedly sustained itself by digesting the minerals in asteroids. Much of the slug's body was smooth and pliable, but the rearmost portion of the slug was covered with root-like tendrils that were used to burrow into the rock of the asteroid, and served as the primary method of obtaining nutrients. It was known that these creatures were silicon-based organisms, much like the mynock. Space slugs, also like mynocks, reproduced via fission into two new organisms. Many scientists claimed that space slugs ate mynocks for sustenance, although larger slugs have been found with colonies of mynocks living inside them. The average space slugs attained a length of around 100 meters living in the weightlessness of hard vacuum. This environment allowed for unchecked growth, and there were several verified reports of huge slugs reaching lengths of 900 meters. It was rumored, during the last decades of the Old Republic, that miners and smugglers in the asteroid belt of the Cularin System actually trained space slugs to act as guardians of their bases. Other rumors claimed that certain slugs were tame enough to allow smugglers to land their ships in their mouths to escape capture. Although these rumors were never substantiated, many starship captains went out of their way to avoid space slugs in the Cularin System. After the Battle of Hoth, several space slugs were discovered by Imperial forces that scoured the Hoth asteroid belt for hidden rebel ships, proving their existence and opening up a new frontier of exploration and commerce. Space slug flesh, being inorganic, had many technological uses. Their skin was also used, in a ground-up form, as a commercial abrasive. (E5, SWSB, ISU, LFC, UA)

Space Snipe
This Alliance defensive tactic was developed as a way to fight against Imperial blockade and control of a planet. Squadrons of starfighters were deployed in key hiding places throughout a planetary system, waiting to ambush attacking forces with surprise attacks. If properly planned and supplied, the space snipe can cut off an invading force, rendering it unable to continue and eventually freeing the system. (SWJ2)

Space Tape
This adhesive had a multitude of uses. Like the thick tape used to seal ductwork, it had a strong substrate and dense, tactile glue. (POT, FOC2)

Space Warper
A starship built by Novaldex. (MMY)

Space Worrt
Believed to have evolved from normal worrt stock that was accidentally transported to the asteroids between Antar and New Plymto, this species of worrt could grow to incredible sizes. First encountered by a pair of Rodian pilots, the space worrt was quite adept at camouflaging itself to blend into its surroundings. Weesh, one of the two Rodians, stumbled upon a space worrt without even seeing it, and was quickly consumed by the creature. This first space worrt was larger than a Wookiee, and resembled its smaller cousin in nearly every detail except size. Space worrts adapted to survive on virtually any form of matter, including the silicon matter found in mynocks. (WOTC)

Space Wraith
This unusual, parasitic creature existed as little more than a whisper, floating bodiless through the vacuum of space until it could locate a suitable host. Scientists who have investigated their existence have classified them as more of a force than a physical entity. Many cultures have stories or legends that claim space wraiths were the spirits of dead individuals. Regardless of their origins, space wraiths existed in a state of hibernation until they sensed the presence of a living, sentient being. After finding its victim, the space wraith invaded their mind, taking control of the victim's will and forcing them to perform despicable acts. Under the influence of a space wraith, a being became a shadow of their former self, performing acts of murder and mayhem without any way to escape from the wraith's influence. These strange creatures moved through space in swarms, often attacking en masse and taking control of entire starship crew compliments. Those individuals who were invaded by a space wraith become known as wraithbound, and were often distinguished by the subtle glow in their eyes. (UA)

The nickname, given to help Joram communicate with the troopers, was based on the fact that the clone trooper carried the platoon's remaining equipment, including a shovel. Spade and his comrade, Hash, were killed shortly afterward, during the platoon's attempt to reach the actual missile production facility beneath the surface of Tur Lorkin. It was later revealed to Joram that Spade and his platoon-mates were actually enhanced clones, having been given additional self-reliance and initiative during their development. These enhanced troops were dispatched with observers like Joram, in order to ensure the production of clone troopers was continued. (SWI65)

Spanner was sensitive to the plight of droids, especially during the height of the New Order, and wasn't afraid to use its heavy lifters to take out a measure of revenge against anti-droid beings. Spanner rarely spoke aloud, and then usually only to Exovar. (WSV)

Spanner
This LE-series labor droid was one of the few that survived being tortured by EV-9D9 on Cloud City, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. In an unsual show of independence, Spanner managed to escape from the droid dungeon and commandeer a cloud car. Spanner then fled into Bespin's atmosphere, where it stumbled upon the BesGas Three processing station. It was taken in by the droids of the facility, and was repaired and given shelter in exchange for news of the galaxy. Spanner explained that the Separatists had been defeated during the Clone Wars, and that there was not a galaxy-wide purging of droids, as the droids on BesGas Three had feared. Spanner's stories gave the droids on BesGas Three enough hope of survival that they took the facility back into the upper levels of Bespin's atmosphere, hoping to restart their tibanna gas mining operations. However, shortly after Spanner fled Cloud City, the facility was garrisoned by Imperial forces, who took control of all the tibanna mining stations in Bespin's atmosphere. Like the rest of the BesGas Three's droids, Spanner had his memory core wiped clean and replaced with Imperial programming. He toiled their for the next three decades, until BesGas Three was located by Jaina Solo and Zekk, several years after the Yuuzhan Vong were defeated. (SWDB)

Spar
This was one of the few aberrant clones of Jango Fett that was not reconditioned or destroyed by the Kaminoans, during the early period of the Clone Wars. Originally designated as Alpha-02, Spar was among the first 100 test subjects produced by on Kamino. Eight and a half years after his decanting, something happened to trigger the memories of Jango Fett that were hidden in the DNA of the clones, and Alpha-02 became obsessed with rebuilding the Mandalorian supercommandos envisioned by Jaster Mereel. Alpha-02 deserted Kamino, apparently with help from Mij Gilamar, and adopted the name Spar before traveling to Mandalore, where legend held that Mandalore the First established the Mandalorian Crusaders. On Mandalore, Spar was approached by Fenn Shysa, who wanted him to assume the role of the Mand'alor and serve as the leader of the Mandalorians. Spar wanted nothing to do with the politics of being a planetary leader, but he did agree to pose as Jango Fett's son and true heir, as long as Shysa paid him well enoguh to compensate for the loss of mercenary input. Spar also befriended Sull, and the two of them decided to throw their support to Kal Skirata near the end of the Clone Wars, in the hope that Skirata's comrades could find a way to reverse the rapid aging of clones. Later, Spar managed to draw in the surviving members of the Mandalorian Death Watch, as well as some 200 soldiers from local police forces on Mandalore, to create a mercenary force known as the Mandalorian Protectors.

After assuming command of the Protectors, Spar became known as Mandalore the Resurrector, reviving the ancient tradition of naming leaders after the first Mandalore. The Protectors joined the fighting of the Clone Wars, carrying out covert operations for the Confederacy of Independent Systems, until all but three of the Protectors were killed. Only Tobbi Dala, Fenn Shysa, and Spar survived the Clone Wars, but Spar was a broken shell of the man he once was. His team had been attacked on Norval II while trying to eliminate Padme' Amidala, and Spar just barely survived, although the experience left him shaken. He wandered the galaxy for many years, unsure about his place, until he was apprehended by the Extrictarium Nebula by Ailyn Vel. Vel believed that Spar was actually Boba Fett, and murdered him in an act of revenge for her mother's death. She took his Mandalorian armor, and after learning that Fett was still alive, used it to masquerade as Fett.

Years later, Goran Beviin explained to Boba Fett that he had heard that Spar carried out the last years of his life to honor Fenn Shysa's request that Boba Fett become the next Mand'alor, although he had nothing to show that would prove this belief. (SWI80, RCTC, LF8, GORW, RC66)

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

Sparky
This gruffy man worked as a communications technician on the planet Artorias, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Just prior to the invasion, Sparky was trying to repair the planet's primary communications relay, and his frustration with the finicky equipment led him to smash it several times with a wrench. One of his comrades questioned this method of repair, and Sparky gladly took a break and allowed them to try and fix it. Unknown to Sparky was the fact that his comrade had been killed by a Yuuzhan Vong spy who assumed his appearance. This allowed the spy to be on duty when the explorer Panha sent her warning transmission to Artorias, ensuring that that Yuuzhan Vong would be able to invade the planet without being opposed. (INVW)

Sparky
This was the nickname Ben Skywalker sarcastically chose for himself, after he and his father, Luke Skywalker, arrived at the Caverns of the Hidden One on Dorin, some three years after the end of the Second Galacic Civil War.

Spathen, Framjem
A post-Clone Wars holo-feature star, he had surgically-implanted muscles added to his physique. (COJ)

Spatter Breach
This was the term used to describe a specific type of damage a starship could take in battle. A spatter breach occurred when a turbolaser blast was able to penentrate a ship's shields and spatter onto the hull plating. Because the turbolaser blast was so intense, in terms of energy and heat, it literally melted the metal of the hull plating, greating an explosion of molten metal. Although the main hole might be patched, the surrounding hull plating was often heated enough to bubble or flow, creating structurally weak plating that could crack or buckle when subjected to the tortures of spaceflight. Another issue with a spatter breach was that the molten metal could fall back onto the hull, causing hotspots where further melting could occur. It was this combination of effects that made spatter breaches dangerous and difficult to fully repair. (LF3)

Spatter Pit
This was the name given to the slight depression in which Yuuzhan Vong slaves were tortured and interrogated before being offered up as sacrifices to the gods. (SBS)

Spatz

Thrawn then took control of the droid starfighters and launched them on attacks against their own ships. He swiftly decimated the task force, leaving only the flagship Darkvenge intact. (OF)

Special Tribunal on Bothan War Crimes
After Jacen Solo assumed control of the galaxy, some forty years after the Battle of Yavin, he destroyed the members of the True Victory Party in order to prevent any more civil unrest from causing trouble on Coruscant. These Bothans were deemed terrorists, and were either killed in raids by the Galactic Allaince Guard to sent to prison. Other Bothans tried to follow in the footsteps of the True Victory Party and were arrested, while other Bothans were simply plucked off the streets, but all were sent to a secret prison facility the Jacen Solo controlled on Coruscant.

This mining and escavation probe droid was produced by Arakyd during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. These cylindrical droids moved about on four segmented legs, and were equipped with a wide range of mineral and ore sensing technologies. When a site appeared to be worth mining, the Spelunker drilled a core sample, then placed an explosive charge in the hole for preliminary blasting, opeing the hole for larger mining equipment. Many of the Spelunker droids found in use before the Clone Wars were used by the Commerce Guild to mine inhospitable worlds. Later, the Spelunker served as the basis for the so-called chameleon droid used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. (SWDB)

Spence

Like many of his fellow Erased, Spence wanted to locate Solace and find peace, so he was more than willing to accompany Ferus Olin and Trever Flume on their search. After locating the Solace and identifying her as the former Jedi Fy-Tor-Ana, Ferus and Trever set out to return to the surface and prevent Inquisitor Malorum from locating them. Spence and the other members of the Erased remained behind in the underground settlement, but found themselves under attack by the agents sent by Malorum.

SPHA-T
This was the Self-Propelled Heavy Artillery-Turbolaser vehicle designed by Rothana Heavy Engineering, first used by the Old Republic to support the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic in the Battle of Geonosis. Theywere used to deploy up to twenty troopers in an effort to augment the forces of the Jedi Knights in fighting against Count Dooku's droid armies. Each thirty-four-meter-long SPHA-T stood just over twenty meters tall, had modular weapons emplacements, and could be armed in response to its target. The basic weaponry consisting of a heavy turbolaser cannon and twelve anti-personnel blaster cannons which protected all sides of the vehicle. Instead of using a turret to move the turbolaser cannon into positon, the SPHA-T had twelve articulated legs that quickly manevuered its bulky form into the correct position. The complex system of legs could also moved the vehicle at speeds near 35 kilometers per hour. The turbolaser cannon could be replaced with a heavy ion cannon or concussion missile launcher, while the smaller blasters could also be changed out for anti-vehicle laser cannons or grenade launchers. Each SPHA-T required a crew of fifteen troopers to operate, which included ten gunners. Much of the vehicle's interior was given over to the powerful reactor cores which powered the weapons systems. The reactor core caused a good deal of trouble in those battles where the SPHA-T's hull was breached, since the core exploded in a massive fireball that caused huge amounts of collateral damage, often to friendly troops. (VD2, X2, SWDB, WOTC, NEGV)

Spheroids
This sport gained popularity during the last years of the New Order. Played in a low-gravity arena between two players, Spheroids involved the throwing of spheres into a pre-arranged goal setup. Each player had a command sphere and several throwing spheres. Designed to mimic the workings of the bodies in a solar system, Spheriods required that each player deploy their basic spheres into the arena, then throw their command sphere into the resulting configuration. The more of the opponent's basic spheres that were placed into a goal, the more points a player received. Each player alternated turns, with play changing sides whenever a goal was missed. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, black holes and other phenomena were introduced into the game, giving a more random configuration. (GFT)

Spice Eel
A thirty-meter-long creature native to the spice mines of Sevarcos, the spice eel lacked eyes and had to rely on the pressure-sensitive organs in its head for a sense of direction. These organs also helped the spice eel locate its prey. These creatures were hunted by the natives of Sevarcos for their meat and skins. They were named for the fact that the tend to congregate near open spice mines, attracted by the mining operation moreso than the spice itself. (SWJ2)

Spice Gas
This was a form of inhaled drug that was created from pure spice. When dispensed, the spice gas flowed downward, being heavier than air, until it pooled into a given space. Any being who inhaled the spice gas felt an immediate sense of vertigo, followed by disorientation and incoherent thoughts. Shortly afterward, the being would fall unconscious, and when they regained consciousness, many beings found that they continued to experience the taste of spice gas for several hours. (CN3)

Spice Grub
This strange creature generated spice as a byproduct of its digestion. Spice grubs had a particular affinity for humanoid flesh, and Moruth Doole used one to eliminate the Kessel prison's warden when Doole learned that the warden was working for Jabba the Hutt.

Spice Mines of Kessel
This was the generic term used to describe the spice-mining operations which were established on the planet Kessel. The primary output of the mines was glitterstim spice. Over the decades, many beings and agencies have claimed ownership of the mines, and during the entire reign of Emperor Palpatine the mines were worked by slave labor culled from the prisoners at the Imperial Correction Facility on Kessel's moon. Working in the mines was dangerous, since it had to be done in complete darkness in order to ensure good quality spice harvests. This, coupled with the harsh living conditions and dangerous creatures found in the mines, made being sent to the Spice Mines of Kessel one of the worst punishments a being could receive. The medical droids stationed on Kessel were not programmed for administering anesthetics, since they were expensive and tended to delay a patient's ability to return to work in the mines. Under Imperial control, the glitterstim spice was often smuggled off Kessel for recreational use, a practice that the Empire turned a blind eye to over time. This was because many Imperial officers felt that an addicted population was unable to rise up against its rulers. After the Battle of Endor, the Spice Mines of Kessel were the site of a prisoner uprising, in which Moruth Doole took control of the facility from his Imperial captors. He ruled the mines with a ruthlessness that rivaled the Empire, and often sent his enemies to toil in the mines when prisoners were killed or died. After Doole's death, Lando Calrissian and Mara Jade took control of the Spice Mines, turning them into a legitimate business venture that ensured much of the glitterstim produced on Kessel was used for medicinal purposes. Lando retained ownership of the Kessel mines for many years, in partnership with Nien Nunb and Tendra Risant, ensuring that its operations survived both the Yuuzhan Vong War and the Alliance-Confederation War. The renamed Calrissian-Nunb Mines proved profitable for many years, and the threat of "being sent to the spice mines of Kessel" eventually lost its strength. (E4, JASB, OWS, FJ1)

Spice Narcosis
A condition experienced by many Sevari who leave their native world of Sevarcos. The atmosphere of Sevarcos was laden with spice particles, and the Sevari have become used to it over time. However, if a Sevari leaves Sevarcos without carrying a supply of spice to breathe, he can enter a state of spice narcosis. (SWJ2)

Spice Sniffer
This was a type of chemical sensor that was developed by Lando Calrissian and Nien Nunb, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. The spice sniffer allowed workers in the spice mines of Kessel to locate both glitterstim spice and ryll spice, and identify veins of either spice in the planet's rocky crust. The checmical signatures of these forms of spice were quite distinct, and the spice sniffer could locate ancient lodes of spice that had been activated many years earlier. (FJ1)

Spice Spider
This was another name for the energy spider of Kessel. (JASB)

Spicy Lady
This highly-modified YT-1300 light freighter was owned and operated by the smuggler Jarril. He had widened the forward mandibles to accept a full-sized A-Wing fighter. The A-Wing could be remotely-operated from the main ship, and was designed to be an escape ship. Jarril could dump the bulking YT-1300 and flee in the swift A-Wing if captured by the authorities. However, this was not the case, as Jarril once proved. Given the remote operability of the A-Wing, Jarril can remain behind in the freighter, piloting the A-Wing on an escape vector while remaining with his cargo. The A-Wing can later be recovered, if possible. The ship was hijacked by agents of the failed Jedi Dolph, and Jarril was killed. A series of messages implicating Han Solo in the bombing of the New Republic's Senate Assembly Chamber were left in the Spicy Lady's memory banks, and the ship was left adrift. It was discovered by Lando Calrissian, who towed it to Kessel to search through it. The A-Wing had been stolen, and Jarril had been shot in the head, but otherwise the ship was intact. (TNR)

Spid
This was one of the may bounty hunters who tried to capture Quinlan Vos, during the Jedi Purge initiated by Emperor Palpatine.

This clan of Dathomirian Nightsisters was named for the fact that they lived in a cave that was originally inhabited by gaping spiders. Legends told that the Nightsisters were able to twist many of the smaller gaping spiders to do their bidding, and only the largest of the spiders was able to resist them. (SWGAL)

Spider Droid
This term was originally used to describe any of the multi-legged combat automata developed for the army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the era of the Clone Wars. After the establishment of the New Order, the term used used to describe any spider-like droid, especially those used for espionage or combat. (LJ5)

Spider People
This was one the dominant race of sentients on the planet Ord Cestus, until they were defeated in a great war by the X'Ting. The original Spider People were sometimes referred to as Cestians. After they were relegated to inhabiting the deep caves of the planet, many forgot they even existed. The became little more than "cave spiders" to the Cestians, more of a nuisance than another native race. (HIV, TCD)

Spider Silk Armor
This was a form of body armor that was developed to deflect blaster bolts, yet be exceptionally light. (NEGW)

Spider Sloth
This unusual, arboreal creature was native to the mogo tree forests of Tenupe. The spider sloth resembled a bantha-sized, slug-like creature that hung in the mogo trees by wrapping its ten-meter-long tail around a branch. It then remained motionless until it detected a possible prey, and moved its sinuous bulk into a position to consume it. The body of the spider sloth was covered with thick, moss-covered scales, and it had dozens of small legs lining the underside of its body. The body of a spider sloth was dominated by its head. The head of the spider sloth was essentially a huge mouth, surrounded by four pedipalps that helped the spider sloth push its prey into its mouth. (DN3)

Spider-Shell
This was the highest grade of starship armor plating developed and produced by SoroSuub, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Spidersloth
see Spider Sloth (LF3)

Spider-sponge
Native to the deep layers of dirt and rock found on Geonosis, this species of mobile sponge spent its entire life on land, consuming toxic materials in the planet's crust. When the Geonosians began producing droids in immense factories, spider-sponges proliferated in the neighboring rock and caves, feeding on the toxic wastes produced by the fatories. (IWE2)

Spidervine
The leaves of this plant were dried and steeped in water to create a soothing tea. (SWJ11)

Spiderwalker
This Charon bio-construct was a grotesque mixture of human and Charon genetic material. It was an ape-like creature with eight legs and a cluster of alarmingly human eyes atop its head. It was extremely agile and strong, and was a formidable opponent during hand-to-hand combat. (OS2)

Spigage
This greenish-blue vegetable was noted for its meaty texture. Chefs often sliced spigage into cutlets which resembled portions of meat. (MJH)

Spijek, Tanus
This male Elom was a former Alliance spy. He was responsible for transporting messages between Alderaan and the base on Yavin 4, until the Death Star destroyed Alderaan. He fled the Alliance, fearing Imperial reprisal, and eventually became a spy for Jabba the Hutt. (CCG7)

Spiked Krevol
This species of reptile was native to the planet Naboo. (GQRG)

Spiked Slasher
This was the name of a vicious subspecies of voritor lizard that was native to the planet Dantooine. (SWG2P)

Spike-finned Sounder
This species of sounder was native to the oceans of Kamino, although it was believed that they were created from the genetic material of a Rodian b'tan flyer. These sounders could grow to sizes of two meters in length or more, and were named for the sharp spines that studded their fins and tails. The spike-finned sounder was a predator by definition, but small groups were most often seen following the larger saberjowl, scooping up the scraps left behind by the saberjowl's feeding. Like most other sounders, the spike-finned sounder was a strong swimmer, and could leap some five meters out of the water when in pursuit of prey. (GORW)

Spiker
This mentally-disabled member of the Chiss race was one of Jabba the Hutt's swoop gangmembers. Spiker was in the group the Jabba - at Prince Xizor's request - sent after Luke Skywalker on Tatooine. Spiker was recognizable by his long, thin, spike-covered helmet. He also wears purple, spike-covered leather armor that matches his helmet. Spiker was killed while trying to steal Han Solo's frozen form from Boba Fett, when the bounty hunter arrived on Tatooine. A firefight ensued, and Spiker was shot down. Fett, however, was unharmed, for he had placed Zuckuss in Mandalorian armor and sent the Gand out in his place, to draw off an ambush. Spiker was later revived and restored by the B'omarr monks of Jabba's palace, and he met up with the similarly reanimated Big Gizz. They attempted to recover a tape which contained information on the whereabouts of Jabba's hidden escape ship, the Spirit of Jabba, which itself was filled with weapons and supplies. They thought they could become pirates and take control of their own destinies. However, they were forced to crash-land the ship outside of Mos Eisley in order to escape Gorga the Hutt's minions. Spiker and Gizz survived, and made their way back to civilization. (SEC, SSE, TJT, GMR5)

Spikes
This was the nickname used by Rohlan Dyre when he was forced to enter the Tandem Open swoopdueling event on Jervo's World, during the final years of the Mandalorian Wars. Rohlan and his friends had landed on the station in hopes of conning The Franchise out of some credits, but he remained onboard the Hot Prospect because of his Mandalorian armor. When the others failed to return, Rohlan tried to sneak out and locate them, but he was apprehended by the station's security forces. In order to prevent them from taking Rohlan into custody, Marn Hieorgryph explained to the security officers that Rohlan was wearing the armor as a kind of gimmick, hoping that it would set him apart as a swoopduelist. In order to remain free, Rohlan was forced to enter the Tandem Open, using the nickname Spikes. (KOR13)

Spilfer
see Spilferithimus-narlamos (SH)

Spilferithimus-narlamos
This young Squib - who prefers to go by the nickname Spilfer - was sent to assist the Alliance in recovering the datapacks stolen by the Elusive. They planned to use a gravity-well projector to pull the ship out of hyperspace, but they had to steal the projector from the Ugors. Spilfer was easily distinguishable by the odd assortrment of trinkets and baubles he had attached to his clothing. Among them was a ceremonial Fizz-Pop can, which identifies him as a Squib diplomat. As a diplomat, Spilfer had the authority to sign treaties for the entire Squib race. (SH)

Spilgan
This city, located near the primary spaceport of the planet Hollast VII, was the site of a variety of businesses and warehouses. When Glorga the Hutt was alive, during the Galactic Civil War, most of the businesses in Spilgan paid protection money to the Hutt crimelord. (SWJ4, OWS)

Spilik
This man served the Empire as a Lieutenant, and was part of the detachment assigned to Commander Karg during his search for Leia Organa. When Karg was shot and killed on Kattada, while trying to force a confession from the Princess, Spillik took command of the remaining Imperial forces and prepared to defend them against the Kattada forces. However, his forces were no match for the band of royal retainers and soldiers who had served Mia Ikova. Spilik's forces were decimated, and Spilik himself was killed in the firefight. The surviving members of his detachment eventually surrended. (SWEP)

Spill Air
This was racer slang for the super-heated gases that were created by a hot engine. Spill air can be bled off in order to cool the engine or prevent engine fires. (IG1)

Spince, Mako
The son of an Old Republic Senator, Mako never wanted to rush things. He led an aimless life that nearly got on track after the Clone Wars. He knew that he had the talent to make it in the Academy, but he put off applying until he had had enough fun on Corellia. He met Han Solo at the Academy (despite the fact that Solo was ten years younger), and the two became known as pranksters. Mako once tried to blast the seal of the Academy off its mascot moon, but only succeeded in destroying the entire planetoid. He was expelled immediately, and his family cut him off from any inheritance. He used his contacts from the Academy to set himself up as a smuggler, and encountered Solo again after Solo's expulsion from the Academy. They worked for awhile out of Nar Shaddaa, until Han decided to seek his fortune in the galaxy. Mako, meanwhile, had been plying the smuggling lanes of the Ottega System. He wound up on the wrong side of a battle with the Na-Quoit bandits, and was permanently crippled in the battle. He returned to Nar Shaddaa, where he took on work as a traffic controller. When Solo returned, Mako tried to make a quick credit and turned Solo in to Boba Fett, but Solo escaped. When Zasm Katth and Baddon Fass arrived at the spaceport looking for the Millennium Falcon, Spince was forced to work for them. He later spotted the Falcon trying to escape the spaceport and alerted the crew of the Star Destroyer Invincible to their presence. Han did not appreciate the way Spince turned on him, and tried to evade the Invincible's tractor beam by hiding behind the spaceport control tower. The Star Destroyer's tractor beam locked onto the tower, instead of Han's ship, and ripped it from the spaceport. Mako Spince was killed when the disabled Star Destroyed crashed into the surface of Nar Shaddaa and exploded. (DE1, DESB, DE2, RD)

Spin-dizzy
An activity on Vorzyd 5. (CSWEA)

Spindragon
This aging freighter was owned by Sheeka Tull during the last years of the Old Republic. She used the ship primarily as a suborbital transport, moving cargoes across the surface of Ord Cestus. It was help together with anything Sheeka could obtain, but was lovingly maintained and more than spaceworthy. Because the ship made regular runs into all of Ord Cestus' major cities, the Spindragon was unarmed, so as not to pose any threat to the Five Families. (TCD)

Spindrift
This isolated planet was the site of an Imperial outpost, during the period following the Battle of Hoth. (LTA3, MC60)

Spine Dragon
This creature was native to the planet Kintan. Like many other creatures on the planet, it evolved from a species which was altered by the intense radiation the coursed through the system as a result of the M'dweshuu Nova. (GG12, GORW)

Spine of Lok
This unusual asteroid belt orbited the planet Lok. It was made up almost entirely of obsidian rock, and was often invisible when viewed against the black backdrop of open space. (SWGAL)

Spine Passage
Located aboard the Zirtran's Anchor space station, the Spine Passage traversed the entire length of the space station. (SWJ5)

Spine Rat
This large rat was named for the heavy spines that made up much of its fur. Although these spines provided defense against larger predators, they could also be a hindrance. A spine rat cornered in a tunnel or warren could only move in a single direction, as the spines dug into the surrounding walls whenever the rat moved backward. (GMR7)

Spine Seas
This was a collection of bodies of water, located on the planet Goroth Prime, which were surrounded by rocky spires. (GSE)

Spinefish
This species of fish was native to the planet Vodran. (GG12)

Spiner
This race of lupine humanoids was similar in appearance to the Shistavenan, but had thick, pointed quills instead of fur. Native to the planet Worxer, the Spiners were known as warriors which could attack by actually shooting their quills at their targets. When the planet Worxer was destroyed when its star went supernova some 200 years before the Clone Wars, the Spiners were rescued by Old Republic scientists who had been monitoring the star. They were quickly absorbed into galactic society, but their unusual technology and ancient language of Worxi left them separated from many other races. Over the decades, the Spiner population dwindled, and many xenoarchaeologists of the New Republic believed that the Spiner race would soon become extinct. Credence was given to this suspicion when it was discovered that Spiners could only reproduce in the Elrood Sector. (WOTC, MC8, ANT, UANT)

Spinglass
This unusual form of glass was produced by the Killiks of the Saras hive of the Colony. It was literally spun from their bodies, much like spider silk was spun into a web, but was melted down and then formed into shapes to produce useful or artistic objects. The raw material was simply referred to as spin. (DN2)

Spinner
This was the Imperial Navy slang term for an Alliance B-Wing starfighter. (SWJ10)

Spinner
This freighter was bound for Coruscant's Westport spaceport, about two years after the Battle of Geonosis, when it was infested with stone mites. The exact origin of the stone mites was never discovered, but their ravenous appetites quickly destroyed much of the ship, leaving it unable to complete its journey. The Spinner crashed into the Kishi district, expelling stone mites into the city. The stone mites quickly began eating their way through the city, killing many Kishi in the process, before they were destroyed by the Jedi Knights. Security Director Armand Isard and his teams investigated the Spinner's logs, and surmised that the ship had been infected during a stopover on Orleon. Calling the crash an act of terrorism by the Separatists, Armand ordered that specially-mutated stone mites be sent to Orleon to destroy the Separatist facility there. Unfortunately, Isard's information was not entirely correct, as there was no Separatist facility on Orleon. The mission was allowed to continue, and the stone mites were unleashed on the unsuspecting population of Orleon. (NECH)

Spinnerfish
This well-armed shuttle was part of the Galactic Alliance's Second Fleet. It was aomng the many vessels that were part of the blockade of the Corellian System, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. While patrolling the space near Corellia, the Spinnerfish was the first vessel to encounter the Love Commander, when Lando Calrissian arrived with Han and Leia Solo. Although the Spinnerfish's commanding officer boarded the pleasure yacht with every intention of detaining it, he was unprepared for Leia Solo's use of the Force. She was able to manipulate him into allowing the Love Commander to reach Corellia's surface, after "convincing" him to provide Lando with a Galactic Alliance authorization code. (LF4)

Spinnerpit
This casino game resembled roulette. (MJEH)

Spinner-silk
This luxurious fabric was noted for its lustrous sheen and the way that it hung from a being's body and emphasized the body's shape. (CN2)

This process involved subjecting certain gases to intense temperatures and pressures in order to alter its chemical properties. Often, spin-sealing produces gases which intensify the energy of light which pass through them. (GG2)

Spinsticks
This obscure weapon was considered archaic during the final decades of the Old Republic, since blasters and other ranged weapons were much more effective in taking down a target. Only a few obscure groups maintained the traditions and techniques of using spinsticks, including the Gray Paladins offshoot of the Jedi Order. (CN1)

Spinward Sector
This section of the galaxy was known as the home of the polwocz. (ISB)

Spin-worm

Spiny-collared Toad
This strange amphibian was native to the desert oases of the planet Tatooine. (YDR)

Spira
This planet was located in the Lytton Sector of the galaxy. It had very little axial tilt, so its climate was very stable. It was a lush, tropical world with no natural predators, and its major landmasses were ringed with some 11,000 kilometers of sandy beaches. It was first scanned by Old Republic explorers nearly a thousand years before the Battle of Yavin, and the wealthy citizens of the Core have been coming to Spira for a long time. At one point during the height of the New Order, it was estimated that there were 4,527 luxury hotels available on the planet. Its surface was mostly ocean, broken here and there by chains of islands. Weapons were forbidden on the planet. The average day on Spira lasted about 25 standard hours, and its year encompassed 377 local days. An ancient shipwreck was located west of The Point, a remnant from a time before the planet was first settled. No one knew who owned the ship or why it crashed, but over the years the wreck was salvaged for parts and left as an artificial reef. (SWJ1, SWJ5, NEGC, OWS)

Spira Heist
This was the name given to the daring robbery by the criminal known as the Tombat, stealing a wealth of jewels during the annual Spira Regatta Open, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (SWJ6)

Spirador
This planet, the primary world in the Spirador System of the Tandon Sector, was the capital world of the sector and was the seat of Imperial power during there during the Galactic Civil War. The Alliance placed a stealth-shielded probot in the system, which allowed Daelar vuvTertarrnek to relay information to the Alliance. (CRO)

Spiral
This Alliance CR90 Corvette saw duty during the years before the Battle of Yavin. (CCG2)

Spiral Arm
A section of the galaxy. (COJ)

Spiral-class Assault Ship
This needle-shaped craft was developed for use by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. It was designed to get a boarding party into a ship which resisted being boarded. The pointed nosecone of the Spiral-class ship was loaded with tekonite, which vaporized on collision. This allowed the pilot to ram the needle-shaped ship into the hull of its target, penetrating the hull without injuring the boarding party. Once the ship had penetrated its target, the boarding party exited through the vaporizde nosecone. The Spiral-class was considered to be expendable. (BI)

Spiraling Shape
This was one of the many false identities created by Cecil Noone and his band of thieves for the starship Asaari Wind, which they had stolen from Ritinki. (GMR1)

Spirana Operation
This was one of the many missions carried out by the early New Republic military. It was aimed at discovering more information about the TIE Defender starfighter that was produced for the Empire. Part of the data recovered during the Spirana operation was the fact that more than 10,000 TIE Defenders were unaccounted for in the Republic's tracking (LSSM)

Spirba
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word meant "a break in the terrain" or "pass." (OWS)

Spire Falcon
This short-winged raptor was native to the planet Coruscant, although many xenobiologists believed that it had evolved far beyond its original appearance. The blunt wings of the spire falcon allowed it to make sharp turns and cuts within the confines of the buildings that studded Coruscant's surface, where the spire falcon hunted for scrap mice. Its mottled gray feathers mimicked the ferrocrete of the buildings, providing the spire falcon with almost perfect camouflage. (YDR)

Spire of the High Council
This was another name for the Jedi Council Spire. (DBRT)

Spire-hive
This was the term used to describe the tall, rocky spires created by the Geonosians as living spaces. Hidden beneath the spire-hives were immense chambers used for manufacturing and storage. (SWI66)

While in the thrall of the Spirit of Battle, an Em'liy gave themselves over to the fight, allowing the course of their struggle to guide their actions. (UANT)

Spirit of Commerce
This commercial freighter made a regular run to the Forest Moon of Endor, during the years following the Swarm War. (LF8)

Spirit of Jabba
This was the heavily-armed escape ship Jabba the Hutt hid in Glass Mountain, on Tatooine, in case he ever had to flee from a rival or enemy. It was well-stocked with all the food and drink Hutts like, and was armed with a pair of ion cannons, a number of tractor beams, proton torpedo launchers, and laser cannons. The ship also contained a holographic security system that could detect the presence of beings on the ship and interact with them. It was activated when the beings who stole the ship failed to key in the appropriate code sequence on the main computer. The system, which projected a huge image of Jabba himself, then took control of all ship's systems and took measures to eliminate the thieves. If the proper code sequence was entered, the system would shut down and return control of the ship to the pilot. Spiker and Big Gizz, after being re-animated by the B'omarr monks, activated the system when they stole the Spirit of Jabba from Gorga the Hutt. The ship's atmosphere was then vented, and they feared for their lives until they were intercepted by the Nemphas. They were forced to crash-land the ship near Mos Eisley, but only after dumping out its cargo - which contained several priceless Mendacian funeral urns from the early Krung dynasty. The Spirit of Jabba was left in the desert for scrap. (TJT)

The Spirit of the Republic was Admiral Wullf Yularen's flagship, and led the fleet that was sent to Teth, during the mission to rescue Rotta the Huttlet. This ship later transported Obi-Wan Kenobi to Tatooine, where the Jedi Master met with Jabba the Hutt to discuss the plans for Rotta's rescue, before returning to Teth to recover Anakin Skywalker and Rotta. (CWN)

Spirit of the Thousand Moons
This was a nickname used to describe Drol, the spirit that was at once the protector and destroyer of the planet Iego. (CWTV18)

Splendid Ap
This deity, not to be outdone by Tilotny, threw itself a shape some time after the Battle of Yavin. It manifested itself as a cone-shape entity with a wide mouth. However, Splendid Ap was not very bright, and had no concept of time. He created a duplicate of himself in the same time as he existed, thus creating multiple images of himself. He found himself in the middle of the spat between Tilotny, Horliss-Horliss, and Cold Danda Sire, in which they solidified the bodily organs of their captives. The captives included Leia Organa and the stormtrooper squadron chasing her. They left Splendid Ap to clean up the bodies, and Splendid Ap returned them to their normal state. However, his ineptness with the concept of time led him to return Leia to her normal time, while teleporting the stormtroopers back 8,000 years. (CSWDW)

Splendor of Yevetha
This Immobilizer-418 Interdictor-class cruiser was refitted by the Yevetha after they took control of the Imperial shipyards in the Koornacht Cluster. Originally known as the Imperator, it was commanded by Tho Voota. (TT)

Splendor Tavern
This seedy tavern was located in the Senate District on Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Tech Raider broker Helb often made deals here, during the last decade of the Old Republic. Because of the amount of blaster fire that occurred on the premises, the lighted letters outside the establishment had been shot out over time. Some four years after the Battle of Naboo, all that remaned was "DOR," and many locals simply referred to the tavern as "The Dor." (DH, JQ)

Splinter
This Alliance shuttle was assigned to the corvette Viper, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. The Splinter was destroyed when the Alliance's ships encountered an Imperial task force over the planet Argoon. The Imperials were recovering a group of abandoned cargo containers, and were well-prepared to defend themselves. The Splinter was shot down by Maarek Stele while defending the Viper, although the ship's los gave the crew of the Viper enough time to escape into hyperspace. (TIEP)

Splinter Fern
This plant thrives in the moist, swampy environments of its native world of Naboo. When dried out, the slender leaves of the fern form hard, needle-like splinters. The Gungans use them for acupuncture and, when crushed into a powder, they were also used as a cooking spice. (GF)

Splinter Pass
This was one of the primary sections of the Mon Gazza Maze podracing course. The Splinter Pass was a level area that was studded with tall, thick, durasteel posts that were set up in a random placement. The tops of each post were studded with smaller durasteel rods, creating a forest of obstacles for racers to maneuver through. A course miscalculation or a nudge from another racer could send a pod crashing into the posts, or tear the pod and its pilot apart as the racer tore through the rods. (CWCC)

Splinter Shot
This was the name used by New Republic starfighter pilots to describe the way in which an individual ship could overwhelm the dovin basal on a Yuuzhan Vong coralskipper. By using a multitude of low-powered blasts from a ship's weapons, a fighter pilot could force the dovin basal to generate multiple singularities to absorb the energy. With the dovin basal than preoccupied and overworked, the fighter pilot could fire a full-power blast at the heart of the dovin basal, destroying it before it could create a larger singularity. (NJOSB)

Split Infinitive
This was one of the worst holofilms of the Old Republic, produced in the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN4)

Split-S
This evasive maneuver was used by starfighter pilots to turn the tables on an opponent. By executing the split-S, a pilot could appear to be jinking in order to prevent a targetting lock. Suddenly, the pilot would break out of the spin and loop beneath the pursuing ship. In this way, the pilot could reverse positions with an opponent, and be able to fire on the opponent. (HSE)

Splitter of Stones
This Qom Jha was one of the few that had ever gotten into the caverns below the High Tower and seen the Threateners up close. He was assigned by Eater of Fire Creepers to lead Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade to the Tower, along with Keeper of Promises and Builder with Vines, as well as the Qom Qae Child of Winds. After the death of Builder with Vines, Splitter of Stones became the leader of the group, taking them to the High Tower. (VOF)

Split-X
This huge racing engine intake system was designed by Collor Pondrat, during the years prior to the Battle of Naboo. The podracer Sebulba mated a pair of Plug-F Mammoths to Split-X intakes to power his podracer. The Split-X design combined a ram-air intake with radiators to ensure proper operation of the huge turbine drives. (X1, OF)

Sploonore, Drooto
This obese Rodian was known as an arrogant, self-important being who believed his home was an impenetrable fortress. To prove this, he posted a bounty on himself as part of a bet with his business associate, Bormm Biveedo. If Drooto could remain alive, hidden inside his home, for one standard year, then Bormm would have to renew his contracts with Drooto for five more years. If Drooto was executed by a bounty hunter, then Bormm would receive the rights to all of Drooto's business interests as well as the estate. (GMR6)

SPMA-T
This Imperial walker was a direct descendant of the SPHA-T walker that was developed for the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. The SPMA-T, which stood for Self-Propelled Medium Artillery - Turbolaser, measured twenty meters in length, and was armed with twelve anti-personnel blaster cannons and a massive heavy turbolaser cannon. The body was more streamlined that its predecessor, and Rothana Heavy Engineering used lighter and stronger materials to make the SPMA-T a more manueverable vehicle as well. However, it sheer size meant that it was still a slow-moving vehicle. Many of the commanders who led ground assaults that were supported by the SPMA-T remarked that it was little more than a mobile turbolaser turret, and that despite its improved maneuverability, its lack of sufficient defensive firepower meant that the SPMA-T needed to be escorted onto the battlefield. Several variants on the basic design of the SPMA-T allowed it to be refitted for different weapons systems, depending on the mission profile. (SWDB)

Spodan
This Sedrian warrior was a follower of Karak. Spodan was fatally wounded in the battle between Alliance agents and Karak's forces over control of the Golden Sun. (BGS)

Spondoon, Brantlee
This man was a native of Coronet City, on Corellia, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Sponge Powder
This was a mild poison created by Amira Nasrabi, from natural materials collected from the sea life of Vaynai's shallow oceans. It caused a being to fall into a deep state of unconsciousness, bordering on a coma, when ingested. (GMR8)

Spongeworm
This unusual, oceanic worm was native to the planet Kamino. It was named for the fact that its body seemed to be a cross between an aquatic annelid and a sea sponge. (MBS)

Spongewort
The leaves of this plant were often lightly braised and served with grilled t'sorys meat. (CN1)

Sponk
This was a Tahlboorean term which, when translated into Basic, becomes an adjective which describes a being as a "stinking liar." (DRPC)

Spook
This was a slang term used by the soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe any clone commando who worked as part of a covert operations unit. The term could also be used to describe an agent of the Republic Intelligence agency. (RCTC, RC66)

Spook Crystal
Found on the planet Nam Chorios, Spook crystals were a strange form of life that evolved from a mixture of raw crystal and the Force. Also known as tsil, these green and violet stones were unique among the crystalline formations on the planet, and were highly attuned to the Force. When Dzym discovered their ability, he quickly set out to harness the stones' power. He gave some to Loronar Corporation, which was able to develop Centrally Controlled Independent Replicant technology by tuning the crystals with electrical impusles. The crystals could then understand and interpret commands from a remote location and act on those commands. The crystals were used in two primary applications: synthdroids and Needles. When Luke Skywalker discovered the true nature of the Spook crystals, he was able to gain their assistance in stopping Dzym and Seti Ashgad, on the promise that Luke returned all large, functioning Spook crystals back to Nam Chorios. Using the Force, they were able to contact the crystals in the Needle ships and have them destroy the Reliant, just as it docked with one of Admiral Larm's Carrack-class cruisers. (POT)

Spoonbender
This was a derogatory term used in remote parts of the galaxy to describe a Jedi Knight, during the era of the Clone Wars. The term referred to the ability of a Jedi to use the Force to literally bend a spoon, a trick that many Jedi considered to be a misuse of the gift of the Force. (FOC2)

Spor Crawler
Native to the planet Nar Bo Sholla, this poisonous insect was known as an effective tool by assassins and bounty hunters. The crawler was small, measuring just eight centimeters in length, but it injected a powerful poison through its spiked tail. They burrowed in the ground using tiny claws, and lived in hives of up to fifty individuals. They mate whenever possible, laying their eggs in dead prey. Spor crawlers also have value among collectors of rare and exotic creatures, as they were easy to keep and lived for several years in captivity. (COG)

Spore
This ancient entity was imprisoned 400 years before the Galactic Civil War in an asteroid by the Ithorians. Spore was a genetic construct of Ithorian botanists, who had hoped to merge the DNA of a vesuvague tree and a Bafforr tree with other material to create a sentient plant. Instead, they created an evil creature which needed more minds to expand its thoughts and work its damage. It could use the minds of almost any living creature to augment its own power, and it was thought that Spore could control several thousand minds at one time. With the help of the Jedi Knights, it still took over 100 years for the Ithorians to capture and neutralize Spore, entombing the entity in an asteroid where was was forced into dormancy by the hard vacuum of space. The Ithorians could not kill Spore, because of their adherence to the Law of Life. When Mining Station Alpha was established on the asteroid to collect minerals, the Ithorians carefully monitored their progress, lest they discovered Spore's tomb. Unfortunately, the tomb was discovered by Hodge and his team shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Spore was released, and the ripples of evil permeated the Force. Emperor Palpatine sent the Dark Jedi Jerec to capture Spore, but the entity had already escaped its prison and hidden itself in the body of the mining chief Hodge. Fandomar was livid with fear, and rushed to escape the asteroid before Spore could infect anyone, but she was too late. She brought Hodge - and Spore - back to Ithor, and Spore attacked the rescue party that came to find them. Black vines snaked out from Hodge's mouth and eyes, entwining the Ithorians and threatening to capture Hoole. Each vine that touched a being infected it immediately, including the Shi'ido Hoole, and Spore raced to infect the Tafanda Bay. Jerec then intercepted Spore on Ithor, and offered it the chance to get off the planet if it would infect the crew of the Vengeance and make them his slaves. Spore agreed, but had no intentions of helping Jerec for very long. Spore tried to capture Tash and Fandomar, but a group of space slugs smashed the Vengeance, dropping her shields and causing it to explode. Spore was split into a thousand small pieces and neutralized in the vacuum of space. (GOF9)

Spore Bomb
This weapon was created by the Ho'Din terrorist Ort Hoogra-D'En as a method for deploying the deadly tamack spores. (ND)

Spore Sickness
This was a common term used to describe any number of illnesses that could be contracted by breathing in the adaptogenic spores of the multitude of fungi that were native to the planet Drongar. The spore sickness was especially common among offworlders, who had not yet adjusted to Drongar's unique environment. For this reason, incoming starships regularly cleaned their ventilation systems before and after arriving at Drongar. In most cases, spore sickness caused damage to the lungs, forcing the body to battle the spores by raising the body temperature to exceptionally high levels, essentially cooking an invdividual in their own body fluids. Interestingly, the spores were only dangerous when encountered in the atmosphere. At ground levels, the spores appeared to be harmless. (MBS)

Spore Tour
This was a slang term, used by the members of the Agricultural Corps to refer to any examination of a planet's native plant life and its applications in terraforming. (DR)

This was the term used to describe the steady deterioration of metal parts and systems that occurred when they were exposed to the environment of the planet Drongar. (SWI83, OWS)

Sporipri, Siolu
This being was the Mayor of the city of Lagabee, on the planet Ord Tiddell, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN5)

Sporofor Spetzna
This restaurant, located on the luxury liner Kuari Princess, speciallizes was spetzna and drapsha dishes. (RM)

Sporran
This small, leather pouch was used as a purse by the Chadra-Fan. An elongated form of the sporran was used by mercenaries and criminals as a form of shielding, protecting the crotch and inner thigh. (POT, CVD)

Spotlight Sloth
A creature native to Dagobah, the spotlight sloth was distinguished by the bioluminescent patches on its chest. It foraged the swamps until it founds flower-fruit succulent, which it illuminated until the plant unfolds its skin. Then, the sloth feasted on the flower-fruit's purple berries, ingesting the fruit whole with its toothless mouth. Yoda discovered that the fur of a dead spotlight sloth could be removed and tanned, then used to create durable rugs. (ISU, AQ, IWST)

Spot-luma
A form of glowrod which produces a small, focused light rather than provide light along its body. (TFNR)

Spot-luma Lum
This local variety of lum was produced on Adarlon, and was popular at The Glow Dome. (WSV)

Spot-On Locator
This device was produced on the planet Coruscant as a way to help visitors return to their residences in case they got lost. These devices were created to be simple for anyone to use, allowing the user to type in their location and a destination to receive instruction for traveling between points. (CCW)

Spots
This clone trooper was part of the platoon dispatched to Pengalan IV, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, to eliminate a Separatist missile facility on the planet. He was given the nickname Mapper by Joram Kithe, who was stranded on the planet with the platoon's survivors after the Separatist sprang a trap. The nickname, given to help Joram communicate with the troopers, was based on the fact that the clone trooper wore a red rag on his head to help keep sweat out of his eyes. The rag was decorated with white spots. It was later revealed to Joram that Spots and his platoon-mates were actually enhanced clones, having been given additional self-reliance and initiative during their development. These enhanced troops were dispatched with observers like Joram, in order to ensure the production of clone troopers was continued. (SWI65)

Spotted Slug
This small creature was native to the grasslands of the planet M'haeli. Like other creatures of its kind, the spotted slug left behind a slimy trail as it moved across the ground. The trail of the spotted slug was laden with phosphorous, which glowed with a weak light at night. (CN3)

Spotter Droid
This was a generic term used to describe any combat automaton that was deployed in battle to assist starship gunners in targetting enemy ships. (LF1)

Spotts TradeChip Company
Based on Coruscant during the last decades of the Old Republic, Spotts produced a number of collections of tradechips. The sets consisted mainly of images of sports figures and the stars of stage and holovids, but a set of chips profiling the Jedi Knights was set to debut shortly before the Clone Wars. Spotts met with stern resistance from the Jedi Council, which claimed that the image of the Jedi was not to be taken lightly. (HNN5)

Spotty Conveyor
This Trade Federation garbage scow as en route to planetoid PDC3141-02, with a full load of toxic waste, when it was halted from dumping its deadly cargo by the Old Republic. An injunction against dumping on PDC3141-02 was put in place after scientists from the University of Sanbra discovered microbial life on the barren rock. The Spotty Conveyor lacked enough fuel to bring the entire cargo of toxic waste home, and lacked sufficient shielding to keep the material in its holds. Senator Lott Dod argued that the dumping of waste on PDC3141-02 was probably sustaining the microbes, and that the Spotty Conveyor should be allowed to do its work. (HNN4)

Sprax
This dark furred Nalroni was one of Prince Xizor's vigo's, or one of his closest lieutenants. He was mature and intelligent, with greying fur. Sprax had been recruited into Black Sun as a youth on Celanon, when he was apprenticed to a merchant on Brentaal. Sprax was then tapped to become the leader of the Jatayus Trading Consortium, and made a fortune before "retiring" to work full-time for Black Sun. He eventually became a vigo after developing a wide range of criminal businesses for Black Sun, forming a large conglomeration of smugglers, shipjackers, black marketeers, and corrupt business executives. (SE, SESB, SSR)

Spray
This was the alias used by Odumin to catch his targets off-guard. Spray was a Tynnan collections agent working for Interstellar Collections Limited. During the early years of the New Order, Spray was hired by Vinda and D'rag to repossess the Millennium Falcon and recover the 2,500 credits owed to the starshipwrights by Han Solo. As Spray, Odumin was able to penetrate the Millennium Falcon and Han Solo's confidences, while secretly planning to use Han as a way to enter the confidences of the Mor Glayyd and break open Zlarb's slavery ring. Fiolla later discovered that Spray was actually Odumin, as they were trying to outrun the slavers' ship above Ammuud. He truly revealed himself when Gallandro took control of the Millennium Falcon, calmly explaining the entire situation to Han and Chewbacca. In the end, both Spray and Fiolla were generously rewared by the Corporate Sector Authority. (HSR, SWDB)

Spray Bandage
This form of bandage was used extensively during the Clone Wars. Easy to carry in small aerosol cans, spray bandage was applied directly to a wound. Special chemicals formed an adhesive seal over the wound, while a small dose of bacta mixed into the spray helped to ensure rapid healing. (SHPT)

Spray Blaster
This was a generic term used to describe any hand-held blaster weapon that could fire bolts of cohesive energy in rapid succession, allowing a being to literally spray a target with blaster bolts. This allowed the being to suppress an enemy's ability to fire back, and provided the being's army with a chance to advance on the enemy. (ISB, OWS)

Sprayfoam
This sprayed foam, developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, could be applied to almost any flooring material to create a dense mat. It was often used in gymnasiums and makeshift fitness centers, and was popular among the troops of the Grand Army of the Republic for creating training facilities in the most remote parts of a planet. Anywhere there was a flat surface, sprayfoam could be applied to create a combat arena for hand-to-hand training. (MBS)

Spray-namel
This was a form of enamel-based paint that could be sprayed from a handheld canister. (LFCW)

Spraynet
A chemical that was initially liquid in form, it can be expelled through specially-designed tubes to form a net. This net can be aimed at the intended prey. When the spraynet was exposed to the air, it begins to harden. The liquid form was very sticky, and adheres readily to most surfaces, where it then hardens and entraps the prey. It was employed by the Noghri in their Stokhli sticks. (HTTE)

Spraystick Rifle
This unusual rifle was produced during the height of the New Order. It fired a spray of specialized chemicals that, when mixed together after contacting the target, created a localized sensation of intense heat. In sufficient quantities, the chemicals could cause severe burns. (SWGAL)

Spree, Jalla
This crimelord was discovered to have been supplying military-grade weapons to the Blue Star Pirates, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. (IOT)

Sprettyn
This Ensign served the Warlord Zsinj aboard the Iron Fist during the early years of the New Republic. A pit crewman, Sprettyn longed to be a starfighter pilot. In his spare time - and sometimes while on duty - Sprettyn would run space battle simulations on his computer terminals, analyzing attacks and defenses. He was so eager to learn to be a pilot that he shirked his normal duties while in the presence of Zsinj himself. Zsinj ordered Sprettyn's commanding officer, General Melvar, to evaluate his abilities as a pilot, then execute him for insubordination. (IF)

Springhawk
This small assault shuttle was part of the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. The Springhawk was the command vessel of Picket Force Two, which was led by then Force Commander Thrawn. The ship took minor hull damage when Thrawn set out to acquire a Vagaari pseudograv-field generator, after his sensor crews discovered a Vagaari ambush at the edge of their patrol zone. Thrawn was careful not to attack the Vagaari, instead just skirting the main battlefield to steal the generator and attach it to the Springhawk's hull. Thrawn was reprimanded for his actions by Admiral Ar'alani, because they resulted in the deaths of several Chiss crewers. (OF)

Sprint-class Rescue Ship
Known as a Med Runner, developed and manufactured by SoroSuub, this 30-meter-long craft was similar in appearance to the Gamma-class assault shuttle. However, it was designed to provide detailed sensor and identification analysis of a ship in space. These life-form sensors allowed a rescue team to get close to a disabled ship and quickly locate any survivors. The Sprint-class was unarmed, requiring an escort in enemy territories, and was crewed by three pilots and five doctors. It could carry up to forty passengers. (TBSB)

Sprite
This was the name of a subspace transceiver unit developed by Chedak for use aboard starfighters and other small starships. (EGW)

Sprout
This was a derogatory term used by the crew of the Outbound Flight to describe those young children who were chosen by Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth for training in the use of the Force. (OF)

Spukamas
This was the name given to the common Corellian housecat. Each one of these felines had jet-black fur and golden eyes, and they were exceptionally intelligent and extremely loyal creatures. However, the spukamas was also known for its ability to get into everything, and if not properly trained, a spukamas could chew holes in most plastics and soft metals. These creatures were popular among Corellian pilots, who kept a spukamas onboard their ships to kill off any vermin that managed to gain access to the ship's interior. Individually, a spukamas was a territorial and highly jealous animal, and keeping more than one in a single household was a recipe for disaster. (CCW)

Spukami
This was the word used to describe more than one spukamas. (CCW)

Spuma
This planet was swiftly and brutally suppressed by the Empire's Hell's Hammers, under the command of Colonel Zel Johans, during the Galactic Civil War. Following the Battle of Endor, the renegade Imperial Harrsk used it as his base of operations. (ISB, COJ)

Spuma Flats
This open flatland was located on the planet Spuma. Alliance forces were able to augment rebel military teams in the area of Spuma Flats, just before an Imperial Army force discovered their presence. Under the command of Zel Johans, the Hell's Hammers brutally defeated the rebels. (ISB)

Spunchina
This planet was famous for its wild, uninhibited orgies. Jabba the Hutt participated in one of these orgies some years before the Battle of Yavin. (JTH)

Spun-fiber
This durable, plastic-like material was ued to create cases for delicate objects, such as musical instruments. Spun-fiber was stronger than parallel-strand materials like fiberplast, since it used a continuous fiber during construction, rather than aligning huge numbers of straight pieces. (MBS)

Spun-plast
Developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, spun-plast as an extremely durable material that was resistant to many cutting instruments. Even durasteel knives were known to have dulled tried to make a scratch on its surface. Because of this, spun-plast was often molded into protective footwear and body plating. (MJH)

Spunto
One of Cabrool Nuum's bodyguards. (JTH)

Spur, The
This was one of the major skyways found within the city of Efavan, on the planet Vorzyd 5. It connected The Arch to The Belt, but cut throught he Northrex district of Efavan to make travel shorter. (GORW)

Spydr
This species of large arachnoid had nine powerful legs. They had large abdomens, and wide mouths filled with small, sharp teeth. They lived in caves on the planet Kubindi, clinging to the ceiling until their prey wandered beneath them. The spydr would then drop down from above and trap the prey with a gluey webbing. Many Kubaz, and some Hutts, cooked and ate them in exotic meals. (E1A3, E1A5, MIS6)

Spydroid
This was a common term used to describe any droid or automaton that was designed for espionage. This term was also used in a sarcastic manner to describe any being or droid that tried to be too smart for its own good. (CN1)

Spy-eye
This small remote surveilance device resembles a miniature seeker. It travels extremely fast, and was nearly invisible to the naked eye. (CSWEA)

Spy-eye
This was the brand name of Cybot Galactica's AC1 surveillance droid. (EGD)

SpyEye Droid
This was a series of surveillance droids produced during the New Order. This may be a reference to the Cybot Galactica AC1 "Spy-Eye" droid. (BI, EGD)

Spy-killer
This was the common name used to describe a small, fingernail-sized device that could be implanted into the neck of a being. Using an embedder, the spy-killer - which was also called an embed unit - was implanted to ensure that the individual could not divulge information about their mission. The spy-killer was keyed to respond to a certain keyword or phrase which, if spoken by the being into which it was embedded, would trigger the device to explode. The explosion was not necessarily spectacular, but was enough to destroy the brain and kill the being almost instantly. Many times, the keyword was a name or a detail about which the being was never to speak. (DSTR)

Spymaster
This was one of the highest ranks assigned to members of the Galactic Republic's Intelligence agency, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (CWNOP)

Spy-mike
This was the generic term for any small, undetectable device which can be used to overhear the conversations of another individual. The spy-mike was hidden on the target's body and can transmit for a limited distance. (VOF)

Spy's Fang
This was a form of easily-concealed weapon that was popular with many spies throughout the galaxy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Resembling a small, pointed dart, the spy's fang was used to inject a chemical into the body of another being. Often, the spy's fang was small enough that the victim did not notice their injury, or believed it to be a small pang or other innocuous event. In reality, however, the spy had injected them with a slow-acting poison or other chemical substance, and the effects of the injection were often not obvious for several hours or days. This further helped to distance the victim from the actual attack, thereby ensuring that the spy was not implicated in their injury. (SWGAL)

Spyscope
This was a generic term used to describe any surveillance system used to view a nearby area without being discovered. Often composed of a fiber-optic cable for flexibility, the spyscope could be pushed into cracks and crevices to allow the user to see what was happening behind doors or walls. The spyscope could be connected to a small datapad to view what it saw, or it could be connected directly into a soldier's helmet for a heads-up display. (FB)

Spysprite
This miniature holocam was produced by SoroSuub, shortly before the Clone Wars. It was marketed as the perfect home and personal security system. (HNN4)

SQ/one
This was the designation of Cilghal's shuttle, used during her early career as Calamari's Ambassador to the New Republic. (DA)

Squab
This tiny red star was the primary star in the Squab planetary system, which contains the planet Skor II. (GG4)

Squad Four
This unit of V-Wings was part of the Old Republic defense fleet that protected Coruscant during the Clone Wars. During the First Battle of Coruscant, Squad Four augmented Squad Seven during the attack on the Invisible Hand. (E3N)

Squad Seven
This was the designation of a group of clone commandos assigned to the Star Destroyer Ro-ti-Mundi of the Open Circle Armada, during the height of the Clone Wars. Squad Seven was originally formed by Alpha-17, and was led by Commander Cody and Odd Ball, and served under the command of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. During the mission to Cato Neimoidia, Squad Seven was dispatched to capture Nute Gunray, a mission that they failed to accomplish when Gunray escaped just ahead of them. Many members of the squad were injured or killed in the attempt, and they were forced to regroup quickly in order to pursue Gunray to Charros IV. The squad regrouped for the First Battle of Coruscant, returning to the capital with the two Jedi in order to assist in liberating Chancellor Palpatine. The clones of Squad Seven were chose first for their ability to pilot the ARC-170 starfighter, but they were equally able to handle ground-based missions. (LEV, X3, SWI84, SWCL)

Squaddies
This was one of the many terms used to describe the clone commandos of the Grand Army of the Republic. Of course, the term was never used in the presence of a commando. (RCTZ)

Squadron 3610
This group of Imperial stormtroopers was sent in to destroy the area known as Thugger's Alley, on the planet Coruscant, during the early years of the New Order. (LJ9)

Squall
This docile rodent was distinguished by its long ears and bushy tail. Native to the planet Chandrila, the squall population was allowed to evolve on its own, which led to an overpopulation of squalls during the New Order. The free-roaming creatures came into the cities to forage for food, and packs of them often caused traffic jams as they moved along the streets. These creatures were generally regarded as the standard for "cute" pets throughout the Core Worlds, and a thriving - albeit marginally profitable - export business flourished for many years. The business was aided by the fact that squalls were difficult to reproduce off their native Chandrila, but breeding them was a simple operation. The average squall became quite attached to its owner, and it never seemed to give any thought to escaping. In addition to being kept as pets, squalls were also bred for their delicate flesh, which was considered a delicacy by many elite restaurants. To avoid association with the cute pets, they used terms such as "Chandrilan Tendermeat" on their menus instead of "squall". The meat of the squall had a very strong flavor, and often had to be accompanied by thick sauces to help enhance it. For this reason, squall meat was also easy to poison, and many assassins were more than happy to find a target who enjoyed the taste. (EGP, WOTC, CCW)

Squall
This was the name given to the combat shuttle that was part of the small group of support ships defended by the Maelstrom, during the height of the Clone Wars. The vessel was commandeered by Arc Trooper Mar'ek and his comrades, just prior to the command to execute Order 66, as part of a plot to lure any surviving Jedi back to Almas. (LFCW)

Squall Mark IV
This jet-propelled hydrofoil craft was produced by Jerritech during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Measuring seven meters in length, it could be operated by a single pilot, and could carry up to six passengers and a metric ton of cargo. (SWJ4)

Squall, The

Squalls
A demolition expert serving the Alliance, Squalls volunteered for duty as part of Han Solo's Endor assault team. (MTS)

Squalris
This was the native language of the Squalris race. (GORW)

Squalris
This portly, wide-faced, alien race was native to the planet Ifmix VI. As a race, the Squalrises were known as good-natured capitalists who could turn mean as soon as a business interest was threatened by another individual or entity. Because of their knack for business, Squalrises were correctly seen as only interested in increasing their personal wealth and status. (GORW)

Squalrises
This was the term used to describe more than one Squalris. (GORW)

SqualSpinner
This carnival ride was basically a controlled tornado. Brave individuals who wish to experience free-fall can step into the whirling column of air and be borne above a net. The spinning column of air allows patrons to perform somersaults and other acrobatic feats while seemingly suspended in mid-air. (GCQ)

Squark
This was a Dug swear word. (RHD)

Squawk
This was the nickname used by one of the clone troopers who accompanied Jedi Master Bolla Ropal to the planet Devaron, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. While he accepted the mission, Squawk chafed at the fact that he and his fellow clones were serving as farmers and laborers, rather than as soldiers. As his nickname indicated, Squawk was also not above griping out loud about his lot in life, a fact that irked his commanding officers. His griping continued after Master Ropal's death, when Squawk and his fellow troopers were placed under the command of Ropal's Padawan, Tyzen Xebec, and assigned to groundside inspection duty on the heavily-defended planet of Ukio. A Separatist plot to destroy the planet's agricultural resources kept the troopers active, and when it caused a herd of gigaunts to stampede off their normal migratory paths, Squawk took matters into his own hands and began to fire on them. He believed that the blaster bolts would frighten the gigaunts away from the Republic's position, despite Commander Ganch's orders to keep their weapons holstered. Ganch ordered Squawk to stand down, and actually drew his own weapon to confront Squawk. Tyzen stepped in between the two clones and demanded to know what was going on, but he was unprepared when Ganch took off his helmet and used to attack the Padawan. (CWOC2)

Squeak
A T'iin-t'iin Dwarf who worked for Big Bunji. He approached Han Solo at the Mos Eisley spaceport, offering Han a job transporting a load of chak-root. However, Han had already booked Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi for transport to Alderaan. (E4R)

Squeaker
This was a slang term used by the galaxy's bounty hunters to describe any individual who was forced to reveal information through the use of direct intimidation or physical threats. (GG10)

Squeaks
This was a slang term used by the galaxy's bounty hunters to describe any information that was obtained through intimidation or physical threats. (GG10)

Squeaky
This 3PO unit served as Wraith Squadron's quartermaster, as well as a waiter at the Downtime. He was once a protocol droid serving on the Tantive IV, and was sent to the spice mines of Kessel when the ship was captured by Darth Vader. On Kessel, he was programmed to maintain inventory data on the spice processing operation, but longed to be free. Then, one day, he saw his chance to escape, along with a large number of other droids. They boarded a freighter that was to carry a load of spice, in small numbers to avoid suspicion. When they were all aboard, Squeaky re-programmed the freighter's autopilot and told it to fly close to the ground for several kilometers before heading to space and jumping out of the system. However, Squeaky's escape route took them through a series of winding canyons in what would later be known among pilots as the Runaway Droid Ride. They managed to escape the spice mines, and dispersed throughout the galaxy. Squeaky eventually joined the Alliance. Wedge Antilles once said that Squeaky was the most verbally abusive droid he'd ever met, a fact that was displayed when Squeaky accompanied Wedge and Chewbacca on the missions of the Millennium Falsehood. Squeaky and Chewbacca argued over everything, and the droid gave no quarter to the Wookiee. (WS, SOC)

Squealer
This was an ancient nickname for a sonic pistol. (KOTOR)

Squeeterfly
This small insect, native to the planet Romin, was considered a nuisance. (JQ8)

Squeeze Bulb
This small container was used to carry liquids during space travel. The drink was contained in a sphere at the bottom of a tall neck, and was forced up the neck by squeezing the sphere. Releasing the sphere drew any remaining liquid back into the sphere. (RP)

Squeeze Zone
This section of the atmosphere of the planet Bespin was named for the intense pressures experienced by ships that passed through it. (DN2)

Squellbug
This large insect was native to the planet Korriban, where it was among the favorite prey of the tuk'ata. (DBPD)

Squelsh, Apted
This female Mon Calamari served as a Major in the Grand Army of the Republic, serving under Admiral Arikakon Baraka during the height of the Clone Wars. She was known as a straight-forward officer, lacking any visible emotion and displaying an unusual detachment from her troops. (TCD)

Squib
A small alien bipedal race from the planet Skor II, the Squibs were a nomadic race who were forced to roam their homeworld in search of the resources they needed to survive. When a Dorcin trader landed on the planet, the Squib traded him the mineral rights to a frozen waste in return for starship technology. Now the Squibs travel the galaxy looking for junk to salvage. Their bodies were covered in colorful fur which ranges from deep red to brilliant blue, and their fox-like faces have large eyes and tufted ears. They were confident and curious by nature, and love to make things more complicated than they need to be. The Squib negotation process was a good example: when one party wishes to obtain something from another, they must make the first pitch. If they do not, the controlling party will simply stand by stoically, waiting for the first request. Squibs also revel in haggling, and consider it the highest form of communication. They have been in a salvage war with the Ugors, and were often found trying to claim the same junk before the Ugors can. To a Squib, the only good Ugor was a ripped-off Ugor. The Squib race was ruled by a polyanarchy, which was formed by a group of Squib kings. Each king ruled a tribe of salvagers, and worked with the other kings to ensure salvage rights. Despite their scavenging ways, Squibs also developed a high level of technology, and their tractor beam generators were among the most efficient in the galaxy. Many Squib starships use these tractor beams as weapons, instead of lasers. (GG4, SH)

Squib Merchandising Consortium
This Squib corporation manufactured the reclamation ships used to scour the Paradise sector for salvage. The consortium was originally chartered by the Empire to collect the detritus from space, refurbish it, and resell it. Every Squib born is, by default, an employee of the consortium, and must yield to the commands of its leader, the "Illustrious Chieftain of Junkyards." (SH, GG4)

Squib Polyanarchy
This was the name given to the planetary government of Skor II. (HNN4)

Squib Reclamation
This was the largest of the Squib salvage operations. (SWDB)

Squib Reclamation Ship
This needle-shaped starship was built by the Squibs to assist them in collecting interstellar salvage. Measuring about 50 meters in length, the Squib ships resemble huge B-Wings which have their wings closed. The ships require a crew of twenty, and although there was no space dedicated to passengers, there was always room for paying customers. The reclamation fleet had a standard hyperdrive system, and was armed with 10 tractor beams. The Squibs have the uncanny ability to use the tractors hurl garbage at attackers. They can also pull garbage into position to absorb enemy fire. (SH)

Squib Trade Language
This secret language was developed by the Squib race, for use in negotiating among themselves, or whenever they wanted to discuss a deal without alerting other beings as to their intentions. (TG)

Squibbian
This was the native language of the Squibs. (ANT)

Squibbish
This was the term used by the Squib people to describe themselves. (HNN4)

Squid Head
This was a derogatory name used to describe a member of the Quarren race, referring to the collection of tentacles that covered the lower part of their faces. (E6, DA, NEGA)

Squid Lake
This was one of the most powerful dramas written during the last years of the Old Republic. It was usually performed by aquatic races, as much of the action took place in specialized globes of water held together by spherical gravity fields. (OWS, IS3)

Squidge
This was the name used by the Vindar to describe a race of timid, green-skinned humanoids that were characterized by their long limbs and conical skulls. The Squidge were completely subjugated by Vindar, who took out their aggression on the timid Squidge. Over time, the Squidge were stripped of their culture by the Vindar. (T19)

Squig
This Jawa was considered a mechanical genius, and worked for Abdi-Badawzi as a technician and repairman. Squig maintained the Twi'lek's fleet of ships, and also worked part-time as a consultant for the Caelli-Mercerd Syndicate. Squig considered it his life's work to ensure that Elias Halbert's starship, the Seldom Different, was always in working order. To that end, Squig was always tinkering with the ship. Squig was also known as a hopeless romantic and a chronic gambler. (SWJ2, BSS)

Squig
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)

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

Squig, Friggy
This Gungan was one of the best bongo racers of his generation. (GMR4)

Squill
One of the galaxy's most reviled vermin, the squill was a monkey-like creature with a toothy beak and pink head-frills. They were known to carry diseases, and were used by the Empire to unleash Bledsoe's disease. The Jawas of Tatooine enjoyed eating the tough, pungent meat of the squill. (CSWEA)

Squin, Hlisk
This man was the proprietor of the Bollin Animal Emporium during the era of the Battle of Naboo. Despite his outward appearance as a zookeeper, Squin was actually fence for many of the pirates and smugglers who worked in the Cularin System's asteroid belt. Hlisk once trafficked slaves for Riboga the Hutt, but managed to avoid being discovered when Nirama took over the Hutt's operations. (LFC)

Squinn
This male Quarren served as a Captain in the naval forces of the Galactic Alliance, and was the commander of the veteran warship Galactic Voyager during the years following the Swarm War. (LF4)

Squinquargesimus, Alek
This man, a native of the planet Quelii, was a Jedi Knight who served the Jedi Order during the Mandalorian Wars. Because his last name was unpronounceable to many of his friends, they simply called him Squint. Alek was dispatched to Taris to help recruit Force-sensitive beings to join the fight against the Mandalorians, although he believed that the Jedi Council was turning a blind eye to the threat posed by the Mandalorian, and that the Council was too focused on the Sith to see the real problem. Alek later joined the Revanchists, hoping to use his skills in the Force to defend the galaxy. He and his followers believed that the Jedi needed to take the fight to the Mandalorians, and he was willing to "enter the darkness to save the light." Such talk worried Zayne Carrick, who was approached by Squint as a potential recruit. Before he could convince Carrick of his intentions, however, Squint was among the many Jedi Knights were were captured by the Mandalorians and sentenced to prison at the Flashpoint Station facility. There, Squint and many other Jedi were forced to endure the research and experiments of the noted biologist, Demagol, who was trying to discover why the Jedi could use the Force.

It was at the Flashpoint facility that Squint met the Arkanian refugee Jarael, who had been mistakenly captured by the Mandalorians. Despite the fact that he had been subjected to many tests already, Squint stepped in when Jarael was chosen by Demagol, hoping to spare her the pain and agony of Demagol's tests. He endured several additional torture sessions before Carrick and Rohlan Dyre arrived on a daring rescue mission. They managed to infiltrate the facility and scatter the Mandalorians, then freed Jarael and the other Jedi from captivity. As they fled Flashpoint, Squint realized that the Mandalorian threat was even bigger than he had discerned, and asked Zayne to accompany him on a mission to warn the Republic and defeat the Mandalorians. Zayne refused, but asked Squint to remember his actions on Flashpoint, in case something happened to him on his own mission.

As the war ground on, Squint joined the Revanchists, hoping to use his skills in the Force to defend the galaxy. He was chosen to represent the Revanchists when Lord Arkoh Adasca invited them to Omonoth to witness the work that Adascorp had been performing on the exogorths. Aboard the Arkanian Legacy, Squint was reunited with Jarael and Rohlan Dyre, and was one of the first beings to recognize that the exogorths could be useful in ending the war. The Revanchists had foreseen galaxy-wide chaos and sorrow, and Squint felt that the exogorths might help end the war before it spiraled out of control. Thus, he was shocked and amazed when the Mandalore offered to provide the entire Mandalorian population to serve as the guardians of the Arkanians, as well as making the Arkanians his sole source of munitions, in exchange for the creatures. Squint was even more upset when Saul Karath offered multiple concessions from the Galactic Republic, offering whatever Arkoh Adasca wanted in exchange for the exogorths. Any possible bid for control of the exogorths was rendered moot when The Camper set them loose on the Arkanian Legacy, then took the captive beasts and fled with them into the depths of hyperspace. Alek fled the destruction with Jarael and Rohlan Dyre aboard the Moomo Williwaw, and waited in orbit around Taris while Zayne met up with Marn Hierogryph. Alek tried to explain to Jarael that he was developing feelings for her, but she refused to reciprocate, claiming that Arkoh Adasca had abused her trust, and it was took soon for her to get into another relationship. Alek questioned whether the timing was wrong, or if it was just him, but she did not give him an answer. The group managed to track Zayne and Marn to Jebble, and arrived just in time to rescue them from the assembled rakghouls that had been created by Celeste Morne. As they blasted away from the planet, they witnessed Cassus Fett's brutal attack on Jebble, which destroyed the rakghoul hordes and rendered the planet a frozen wasteland.

Zayne then called in a favor Alek owed him, and the assembled crew of the Moomo Williwaw returned to Jebble to recover the body of Celeste Morne, which was stored in Lord Dreypa's Oubliette. After Lucien Draay was appointed to the Jedi Council, Alek was forced to go underground and assume a series of aliases, when the Jedi ordered the arrest of any Jedi Knight who supported the war effort. Posing as Captain Malak, Alek met up with Shel Jelavan on Coruscant, and the pair arranged to meet with Jedi Masters Vandar Tokare and Vrook Lamar to give them news from Zayne, news that included the events that occurred on the planets Jebble and Odryn. In the weeks that followed, Squint abandoned his given name, and went solely by the name Malak. (KOR2, KOR6, KORH, KOR7, KORV, KOR8, KOR9, KOR10)

Squint
This was Alliance fighter pilot slang for a TIE Interceptor. During the early years of the New Republic, a TIE Interceptor was also called a "wince." (XWWP, BW)

Squint
This was the alias used by Alek Squinquargesimus, a male Jedi Knight who traveled to Taris during the Mandalorian Wars to recruit Jedi to help fight back against the Mandalorian threat. He received the nickname Squint from his fellow Jedi, when they couldn't pronounce his last name. (KOR1, KOR2, KOR6, KORH)

Squire
This was the brand name of House Paramexor's armorer droid. They were similar in function to the AD-series droid. (GG10)

Squir-mite
This was a tiny insect that was native to the deserts of Tatooine. (BF5)

Squishmael
This diminutive, tadpole-shaped Sloogarian claimed to have been one of the few beings present when Han Solo won the Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissian. He also claimed that he tried to talk Han Solo out of making the Kessel Run. Squishmael was, of course, an alias used to protect his true identity. He was always willing to tell his tale, for the price of a drink or two at the local cantina. Of course, Squishmael wasn't sure what the Kessel Run actually was, until Marshak explained that the Kessel Run was a smuggler's mission to obtain rare Kessel Birds from the Aeneid System. Squishmael would later explain that Marshak and Lando had been playing an expensive joke on young Solo, as part of Lando's revenge for losing the Millennium Falcon. (T16)

Squnn
This surname was common among the Sullustan race, and meant "mechanic" in the Sullustan language. (GCG)

Squnn, Kyun
This female Sullustan worked as the regional administrator of the SoroSuub Corporation offices in the platform city of Tindark, on the planet Cularin, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. At the time of the battle, she was pregnant with her first child, having married a SoroSuub pilot who worked in the Cularin System. (LFC)

SR1105-12,983/CDN-23
This subdirectory within the Open Investigations Database of the Bureau of Ship Services contained information on the allegations charged against Daultay Dofine and the Trade Federation. (SON)

S-R6
This assassin droid, known as Essar, was the automaton singled out to execute Imperial Governor Merno Blask on the planet Trevura, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. S-R6 was created from the skeleton of a standard ASP-series labor droid, allowing the droid to work undercover without being noticed as an assassin. S-R6 was also known for its wealth of knowledge on blaster weapons, and it often related conversations in terms of weaponry. When speaking to other beings, S-R6 was very cordial and friendly, but his constant references to guns sometimes worried people. When it was learned that Governor Blask was importing experiemental blasters from Coruscant, S-R6 was interested because of his obsession with guns as well as to determine any potential problems with the assassination attempt. S-R6 managed to obtain some of the new Imperial blasters from a group of freelance agents, who helped him avoid an Imperial ambush and carry out his mission. (WOA14)

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

Sran Outpost
This was an Alliance base, prior to the Battle of Yavin. (AIR)

Sratt
This was the Coynite word for "promise." According to the En'Tra'Sol, a Coynite's sratt was a sacred thing, and eternally binding. (PG3)

SRB-42
This was a powerful sublight drive system that was produced by Giordyne. Han Solo had a pair of specially-modified SRB-42 units installed in the Millennium Falcon. (MF)

Sreas
This New Republic Navy Captain was in command of the fleet shuttle Tampion when it was pressed into duty to bring Han Solo to the Fifth Battle Group's position near the Koornacht Cluster. After news of Solo's arrival was leaked to the Yevetha, the Yevetha stationed Interdictor cruisers in the Tampion's path and brought it out of hyperspace three hours shy of the fleet. Sreas tried to fight off the Yevetha who ambushed the shuttle, but only succeeded in shooting Solo in the right arm before being killed in the firefight. (SOL)

Sreethyn
The name of one of the ancient Juvex Houses. (COJ)

Sreethyn
This gruff man was the Captain of the salvage ship The Lucky Find, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. Captain Sreethyn regularly recovered Imperial garbage, searched it for technology, which he later sold on the open market. Anything that Sreethyn couldn't sell to his normal clientele was eventually sold back to the Empire that dumped it. (ISB)

Sreina
This city, located on the planet Janara III, was razed in an Imperial attack that was aimed at suspected rebel cells, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Matt Turhaya had left his daughter, Alex, with relatives in Sreina just before the attack. Alex was rescued and taken in by Turk Winger. (SWJ7)

Srejtpan
This was the name of the poison exuded by the Hyallp race. (RD)

Sriluur
This planet was the fifth and primary world in the Sriluur System, and was the homeworld of the Weequay race. Located in the Periphery of the Outer Rim, it also supported a large colony of Houks, which first arrived on the planet from Lijuter some 250 years before the Battle of Naboo. It was a harsh, desert world whose only vegetation was concentrated in broken scrublands. Much of the planet's volcanic and seismic history took place well before the formation of the Old Republic, leaving behind a blasted landscape that was gradually eroded by wind-carried sand. This barren world had vast lodes of copper and other common metals, but had been largely ignored by the rest of the galaxy. The Weequay and Houk had been at war for many years when the Empire moved in and took over the planet, turning it into a staging area for the distribution of raw materials to Kuat Drive Yards' factories. The Alliance worked hard to get the two races to resist the Empire, but no major resistance was launched. One year on Sriluur encompassed 270 local days, each of which lasted twenty-two standard hours. It was orbited by five moons. Sriluur gained importance during the Galactic Civil War as the central point along the Sisar Run. Like many worlds in Hutt Space, Sriluur was eventually overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong. The local defenses were no match for the alien invaders, and the population of Sriluur was summarily enslaved. (SWJ6, CRO, EGC, GG12, SSR, FH3, NJOSB, GORW)

Sriluur
This star was the central body of the Sriluur System, located in the Outer Rim Territories. (GORW)

Sriluurian
This was the name given to the written, spoken, and pheromonal languages of the Weequay people. (SOT)

Sriuurian Raisin
This dried fruit was created from specially-grown vines that were native to the planet Sriluur. The tiny fruits that were produced by this vine grew in bunches, and the individual fruits could be air- or sun-dried to create Sriluurian raisins. (OWS)

Sronk
This alien race was a member of the New Republic. Their homeworld was attacked by Grand Admiral Thrawn. (SOP)

Srrors'tok
This race of bipedal felinoids had an honor-based societal structure, much like Wookiees. Native to the planet Jankok, the Srrors'tok were comfortable in warm climates. However, they were susceptible to cold, and had to wear layers of clothing to survive in frigid climates. Their large heads were dominated by their fanged mouths, and their bodies were covered with short fur. (GG9, AE)

SRT Droid
Developed and produced by Baktoid Combat Automata, this series of short-range transport droids had a main body that was fitted with a wide transport deck. The repulsor-equipped body was little more than a thick torso, with manipulator arms to move cargo onto and off of the deck. The usefulness and wide range of cargoes that could be handled by the SRT droid made them exceptionally popular, a fact that made them the target of many criminals. Because SRT units were found everywhere, smugglers and other criminals often hid crontraband and drugs inside the body shell of SRT droids, knowing that most spaceport personnel would not search the droid. Several variants on the basic SRT design were also produced by other corporations, including Publictechnic's model that was fitted with a four-sided bin, and Go-Corp/Utilitech's fully-enclosed version. During the final years of the Old Republic, SRT droids found use in the Geonosian droid factories, shuttling parts and raw materials to their destinations. (IWE2, NEGD)

SRV/R-1
This was a repulsor-equipped version of the treaded New Republic SRV-1 scout and retrieval vehicle. The craft suffered from a lack of power, since the repulsor was added without augmenting the existing power generators. Thus, when faced with combat, the SRV/R-1 had to either commit itself to the fight or flee. This lack of power also reduced the SRV/R-1's transport capabilities to two metric tons. (GAL2, OWS)

SRV-1
This scout and retrieval vehicle was first designed by the New Republic shortly after the Battle of Endor, in an effort to obtain an inexpensive yet rugged vehicle that could be used to scout new locations and deliver and retrieve troops. Military versions of the SRV-1 were armed with a pair of medium blaster cannons mounted on turrets atop the cockpit. The SRV-1 was propelled by a pair of heavy treads, although a repulsor version was produced under the designation SRV/R-1. The SRV-1 required a pilot to operate, and could transport eight troopers and up to three metric tons of cargo in its rear bin. (KR, GAL2, OWS)

SS
This abbreviation was used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe a Skywalker Surprise. (GG9)

Seinar Fleet System's long range tachyon detection scanner. (SCRE)

SSA-1015
This Trade Federation battle droid was part of the security team dispatched to eliminate Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, when the Jedi Knights arrived at Naboo. It was given programming that assured it the Jedi could be defeated. This droid was originally to be designated SSA-101, but a mistake in production scheduling pushed it back to 1015. (CCG15)

SSA-306
This Trade Federation battle droid was placed on guard duty in front of Theed Palace, during the Federation's occupation of Naboo. (CCG15)

SSA-719
This Trade Federation battle droid was part of the security forces charged with guarding the Naboo prisoners taken during the blockade of the Naboo System. SSA-719 was programmed to believe that offensive tactics were the best defense in controlling mobs. (CCG15)

Ssach'thirix
This Shatras bounty hunter was known to take only hunts for reptilian sentients, and was extremely effective in his work. Ssach'thirix was also a bitter rival of Kal-tan-shi. In his time, Ssach'thirix was known to have captured many Barabel and Kath members of the Alliance, and was once on the Alliance's most wanted list. Ssach'thirix once tried to capture Alliance Lieutenant Commander Xenon Nnaksta on Pii 3, but was soundly defeated by Alliance reinforcements. (AIR)

Ssamb
This species of large arachnids was created by DarkStryder as protectors and guardians. Resembling large, headless spiders, the Ssamb moved about silently on six legs, and possessed large fangs which they used as weapons. Swarms of Ssamb moved throughout the DarkStryder's fortress, clinging to virtually any surface, and were bred to protect DarkStryder at the cost of their own lives. Anything that threatened DarkStryder was set upon by a swarm of Ssamb, which used their fangs to shred flesh and tissue. There were some 500 Ssamb that guarded DarkStryder's lair alone, and DarkStryder maintained a swarmof 1,000 Ssamb as its personal guard. (E)

SSC-17
This was the callsign of one of the hoverscouts dispatched to locate Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, on the planet Tatooine, some four years after the Battle of Endor. The Solos were on the desert planet to recover the Killik Twilight moss-painting, which was also wanted by Grand Admiral Thrawn. SSC-17 was used by the team which had located the Jawa sandcrawler in which Kitster Banai had been transporting the moss-painting, but was abandoned when a group of Sandpeople attacked them. The Solos then borrowed the craft to chase after the Sandpeople. (TG)

SSct
This was the model number of the Santhe/Sienar power generator used on the TIE Tank. (EGV)

SSDS 11-A
This was the designation of an experimental, high-output, Class 3.0 hyperdrive produced by Sienar Design Systems. It was used first in the Sith Infiltrator used by Darth Maul. (X1, IG1)

Sserician Eclipse
Located within the area known as Dantooine's Wrath, this was one of the most dangerous sectors of the Dantooine System, as it was regularly patrolled by the Valarians during the New Order. (SWGAL)

S-series Transport
This was a nondescript model of transport vessel, produced during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (DN3)

Ss'ess
This Verpine served as a combat director on the Nickel One asteroid, during the years following the Swarm War. When the Imperial Remnant launched an attack on the asteroid in the wake of the Second Battle of Fondor, Combat Director Ss'ess boarded a tube train with Boba Fett and Jaina Solo, in an effort to reach safety. The train was hit with an explosive, killing a large number of Verpine. Ss'ess managed to survive, and helped Fett and Solo reach a nearby command bunker. Unfortunately, the Imperial attackers sprayed a strange form of nano-technology virus into the air systems of Nickel One's facilities. The nano-tech virus was similar to the Fizz that was used against the Killiks on Woteba, and attacked the Verpine with a vengeance, killing Ss'ess and his companions almost instantly. The virus only mildly affects Fett and Solo, however, and they discovered that the virus had been targetted at those Verpine in the warrior caste, hoping to save other Verpine to restart the factories on Nickel One in the wake of the fighting. (LF9)

S'Shah
This tryannical monarch ruled the Serp society during the height of the Galactic Civil War. King S'Shah was decidedly pro-Imperial, despite the Serps' natural tendencied to side with the Alliance. It was King S'Shah who returned the Serp people to a life of violence, ending a peace which had lasted for several generations. He created the doom-jousts as a way to prove his strength and prowess. He proclaimed that any Serp who could bet him in a doom-joust would immediately be named the new king. However, S'Shah used forbidden technologies to gain an edge over his opponents. Some months after the Battle of Hoth, King S'Shah was challenged by Elglih, but the older Serp was too feeble to fight. Instead, he trained Luke Skywalker to be his champion. King S'Shah, seeing that Luke was in league with cinda Tarheel, accepted the challenge. S'Shah's skills as a jouster were more than a match for Luke's, and only Luke's ability to improvise allowed him to unseat S'Shah. The King agreed to submit to Luke, but pulled a micro-jolt from his robes and tried to kill Luke. Seeing the danger, Elglih used his own weapon to shoot S'Shah dead. (MC64)

Ssi
This deity was the father of the Ssi-ruu species. According to the Ssi-ruuk's sacred tome, the G'nnoch, there were four eggs formed at the creation of the universe. From the first hatched Ssi and P'w'itthki. Ssi's children hatched from the second egg, while P'w'itthki's children hatched from the third egg. The fourth egg was reserved for those descendants who earned a place in the afterlife. Eventually, Ssi was forced to defeat P'w'itthki in combat, but allowed P'w'itthki's hatchlings to live on, serving the children of Ssi forall eternity. This myth describes the beginning of the relationship between the Ssi-ruuk (htachlings of Ssi) and the P'w'eck (hatchlings of P'w'itthki). (TBSB)

SSIC-S4.2
This was the model number of an internal comlink system produced by SoroSuub. Like most implants, it provided the user with enhanced abilities. When placed within the bones of the skull, it allowed the user to communicate without a hand-held device. (AIR)

Ssiew
This New Republic Navy Captain was in command of the Thunderhead during the second attack on the Yevetha at Doornik-319. His crew managed to defeat an Aramadia-class thrustship, one of the first times the Republic was able to knock out one of the spherical ships. The Thunderhead fell under heavy assault during the Battle of N'zoth and was destroyed. All hands were lost, including Ssiew. (TT)

Ssi-ruu
This word was the singular form of the noun used to describe the Ssi-ruu. (TB)

Ssi-ruu
Native to the planet Lwhekk, the Ssi-Ruu were warm-blooded, reptilian beings covered with scales of various colors. Their blunt, oversized heads ended with a beaked mouths, and their bodies were balanced with muscular tails. They had clawed hands and feet, and strongly-muscled hind legs. Each hand had three opposable digits. Because of their reptilian ancestors, the Ssi-ruuk had three eyelids that provided varying levels of protection from light.

The Ssi-ruuk were blind to the Force, and comunicated with each other via a complex series of tweets and whistles. They also had scent tongues which they ejected from their nostrils, giving the average Ssi-ruu an incredible sense of small.

As a rule, the Ssi-ruu were highly xenophobic, but were more disgusted by other species than afraid of them. In general, a Ssi-ruu avoided personal confrontations, and would never fight on planet that had not been properly consecrated, for fear of dying without the ability to reach the afterlife.

There were at least four races of Ssi-ruuk, based on their coloration. They held to a very rigid code of honor, as defined by the G'nnoch, and their strict caste system was based on skin coloration and patterning. Blue Ssi-ruuk were members of the highest caste, and were the politicians and leaders of their society. Gold-skinned Ssi-ruuk were very rare, and were members of the religious caste. Red Ssi-ruuk were generally stronger than their counterparts, and comprised the military caste. The green-scaled Ssi-ruu were workers. Brown-scaled Ssi-ruuk were usually the offspring of mixed or unsuccessful breedings, and were often killed at birth. Rarely, a black-scaled Ssi-ruu was born, and was taken aside for training as an assassin or bodyguard to Ssi-ruuvi leaders.

As a people, the Ssi-ruuk were also highly religious, as evidenced by the power of the Conclave in governmental decisions. As has been noted, they feared the possibility of dying away from their homeworld, believing that the soul of an individual who died on another world would be lost forever. Thus, the Ssi-ruuk consecrated every world they wanted to colonize, to ensure there was an afterlife for their souls.

Legend held that a Ssi-ruuvi individual would be born with all colors on their scales, a rainbow-scaled individual known as the Keeramak. The birth of the Keeramak would signal the end of the caste system, allowing the weak and oppressed castes to become leaders. Such an individual was born just prior to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. However, this individual was not a messiah, but the pawn of a Yuuzhan Vong invasion force that was trying to capture Lwhekk and Bakura, thereby establishing a foothold along the borders of the Unknown Regions. The Ssi-ruuk were then subjugated by the alien invaders, and forced to play their part in the plan. Note that The New Essential Guide to Alien Species indicates that the Keeramak was a P'w'eck. (TB, AE, EGA, FH2, NEGA)

Ssi-ruuk
This was the plural form of the noun used to describe a group of Ssi-ruu. (TB)

Ssi-ruuvi
This adjective was used to describe things associated with the Ssi-ruuk. (TB)

Ssi-ruuvi
This was the natural language used by the Ssi-ruuk. It consisted of a variety of melodic clicks and whistles, which made the Bakurans use the term Fluties to describe them.. (EGP, UANT, NEGA)

Ssi-ruuvi Imperium
This was the title given to the Ssi-ruuk government and all its planetary holdings. The Imperium was led by the Shreeftut, and encompassed both the Ssi-Ruuk and the P'w'eck races. The Imperium was all but eliminated many years before the Battle of Yavin, when the aliens made the mistake of stumbling into Chiss-controlled space. The Chiss, angry that the Ssi-ruuk had dared to attack their colonies, struck back with incredible swiftness. Only the quick flight of the Imperium's core leaders maintained its existence. The leaders retreated to their homeworld of Lwhekk, and eventually rebuilt the Imperium. During the height of the New Order, Emperor Palpatine began negotiating with the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium for the use of their entechment technology, but their plans fell through with the Alliance's victory at the Battle of Endor. In the wake of the Battle of Bakura, the combined forces of the Empire and the New Republic set out to defeat the Ssi-ruuk, and forced them back to their small portion of space. Just prior to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, it was reported that the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium had been overthrown by the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement. In fact, the Imperium had been destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong, as part of their effort to gain a foothold in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. (TB, TBSB, DA, ANT, FH2)

Ssiskor
This shaman was a member of the starfaring species which discovered the planet Kriekaal, millennia before the Battle of Yavin. Legends maintained by the Krieks say that Ssiskor angered Br'lai, the goddess of the molten oceans, and she made the oceans rise up and swallow the visitors. (SWJ13)

Ssither
A reptiloid race native to the planetoid Jatee, the Ssither had the body of a snake with a scaled, humanoid torso. They resembled cobras with arms, and had a limited form of telepathy that they use to communicate with each other. They were a simple species whose past was marked with bloody warfare. Much of the New Republic's information regarding the Ssither had been investigated and reported by Doctor Soron Hegerty. (SN, FH3)

Sskal
This Trandoshan thug served as a bodyguard to the Toydarian arms dealer Ballon, during the years that followed the end of the Clone Wars. Although he was not very bright, Sskal was incredibly loyal, and would do whatever it took to defend Ballon and his weapons business. When Ballon was apprehended by Imperial security forces, Sskal was also captured and held for questioning. (FR)

Sslamoth
This Selkath worked as a bartender in Ahto City, on his homeworld of Manaan, some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. (KOTOR)

Ssoh
This Trandoshan boasted to C-3PO and R2-D2 that he was the only Trandoshan ever to defeat Chewbacca in a fight. As a slaver, Ssoh trafficked in Wookiees, selling them to Commander Nyklas and the Empire. He maintained his ship in such a way that rival Wookiee clans were placed in the same space, thereby ensuring that they would fight each other, rather than try to escape. After capturing Chewbacca with the help of Tojjevvuk's clan, Ssoh didn't think anything more than to place him in the hold. However, Chewbacca questioned the value of the infighting among the Wookiees, then staged a daring escape. Chewbacca sought out Ssoh and ripped his limbs off, but the Trandoshan survived. However, the physical effort of regenerating his limbs left him weak, and the limbs grew back thin and atrophied. (C)

Ssoh
This was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "moves stealthily". (GCG)

Ssorku
This Trandoshan mercenary was active during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. He traveled the galaxy in his starship, the Long Scale, and was known to play the kloo horn in many different styles. He was generally regarded as an uninspiring individual, and fancied himself a better being than he actually was. Ssorku was, despite his tough exterior, a music lover, and could discuss and play virtually any popular form of music. He had many contacts in the world of intergalactic music, including the concert promoter Sheffel Nen. When Ssorku was hired to acquire the plans to Nessem Shipyards' quadronomic fluxer, Ssorku traveled to Nessem and was delighted to find that Sheffel Nen had hired several popular and emerging musical acts. However, when the plans for the fluxer were stolen before they could be auctioned off, Ssorku was considered a prime suspect. Unfortunately for Ssorku, he actually had stolen the plans, and kept them hidden in his kloo horn case. Ssorku was apprehended at the Starbirth Lounge by a team of Alliance agents, and he was forced to turn over the plans to them. (WOA12)

Ssorku
This was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "claws like razors". (GCG)

Ssssk!
This feline humanoid served as Captain Drezzel's chief aide at the Imperial base on Seoul 5, during the months leading up to the Battle of Endor. Ssssk! was a member of a telepathic species which could harm another individual with a telepathic assault that could leave the victim's mind a useless blob of thought. Ssssk! was defeated in combat by Han Solo on Seoul 5, when Han used an ancient Seoulian crystal to deflect the mental attack back at Ssssk!. It was unknown whether Ssssk! escaped the destruction of the Seoulian control center or not. (MC84)

SST-67
This 23.2-meter-long transit shuttle was developed by Republic Sienar Systems during the last decades of the Old Republic. It required only a pilot to operate, and could accommodate up to eighteen passengers and a metric ton of cargo. Because the SST-67 was designed for intra-orbital transport of beings and cargo from the ground to positions in orbit, it lacked a hyperdrive, shields, and weapons systems. The controls of the SST-67 were taken from the discarded plans for a freighter design, and were simple to understand. Access systems were available both from internal and external consoles, allowing for easy maintenance. (GMR1)

ST Rifle
This was a more common nickname for the E-11 Trooper Rifle. (DF2P)

ST0-48
This mixicologist droid was once an Imperial medical droid which served Emperor Palpatine on Coruscant. Shortly before the space station Zirtran's Anchor disappeared in the Besberra System, ST0-48 appeared on the station in the employ of Chabak, mixing drinks at Chaba's. After the station reappeared in the Phosphura Belt Nebula, ST0-48 began to speak in gibberish about "endless rows of medical tanks" and other strange things, and many aboard the station believed that some portion of ST0-48's memory had returned to him (SWJ5)

ST-103
This was the identification number of one of the Desert Sands stormtroopers stationed in Mos Eisley, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. He was a member of the dewback patrol, and was also known as a frequent gambler. (JKG)

ST-297
This was the callsign of one of the Imperial stormtroopers dispatched to locate Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, on the planet Tatooine, during the hunt for the moss-painting Killik Twilight some four years after the Battle of Endor. ST-297 was one of the many troopers who fell for the Solos' story that Leia was Commander Quenton's son. When Leia dropped her electrobinoculars, ST-297 rushed to recover them. He claimed to be one of Quenton's admirers, and Leia played to that by ensuring Quenton would hear of his assistance. In reality, ST-297 had been dispatched by ST-347 to entrap the Solos, and the electrobinoculars he returned to them were wired with a communications bug. In this way, ST-297 helped expose the Solos' deception. (TG)

St2x
This was the designation of an advanced Carbanti targetting computer. (EGV)

ST-347
This was the callsign of one of the Imperial stormtroopers dispatched to locate Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, on the planet Tatooine, during the hunt for the moss-painting Killik Twilight some four years after the Battle of Endor. ST-347 actually intercepted the Solos, but was momentarily thrown off by the fact that both were wearing stormtrooper armor, and claimed to be related to Commander Quenton himself. (TG)

Staable, Sammie
This bounty hunter often worked with Raal Yorta, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. Sammie was distinguished by his thick dreadlocks and his muscular build, as well ashte tattoos on this face. He was also known for his terse nature, using only those words necessary to get his point across. After Raal botched a job by forgetting to file the proper paperwork, Sammie announced that he was joining the rebellion against the Empire. In a drunken stupor, Raal took the announcement as a betrayal, but Sammie took his accusations in stride. When Raal tried to stall any movement to join the Alliance, Sammie calmly explained that he was stealing Raal's ship, but he was also taking Raal with him. Their paths crossed with that of Kestrel, during their attempt to leave Ord Mantell, and they realized that they had all been identified by the Alliance agent Tiree as candidates to join the Alliance. (RR. RNTB)

Staad Armor
Developed by Castaan Armory, this form of protective armor was designed for the Twi'leki race. (GUN)

Staarn
This Bothan crime boss established a base of operations on Kidron just before the advent of the New Order. He had just reached adulthood, and found that the life of crime suited him better than politics. He made his fortune dealing with off-world interests, and was known within the High City of Refuge as a dealmaker rather than an "antenna-breaker." (PG3)

Stabattz
This computer slicer was active during the early years of the New Republic, working from a base on Corulag. (GUN)

Stabilizer Gauntlet
Developed during the era of the Great Sith War, these stiff gauntlets were formed to prevent the wearer from taking sudden or improper actions when handling volatile materials. These gauntlets were designed to minimize the movement of the wearer, moreso than to protect them against a blast. (KOTOR)

Stabilizer Mask
Developed during the era of the Great Sith War, this electrified mask created a barrier for the user's mental activity. By emitting micro-bursts of electricity, the stabilizer mask regulated the mental processes of the user, enhancing the mind's ability to resist telepathich intrusion. These masks were found in great quantities during the Sith War, as beings feared being "possessed" by a Sith warrior. (KOTOR)

Stabilizing Drive
This starship drive system worked like an inertial compensator, although its primary function was to protect the entire ship, rather than the passengers and cargo. When a pilot was forced to put a starship through an intense maneuver, the stablizing drive worked to keep the entire ship moving through the maneuver at the same pace, so that structural damage was minimized or eliminated. (LF2)

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

Stabman
This was the term used by the human population that lived along the Sea of Jarad, on the planet Tralus, to describe the harpooners who hunted styanax for a living. (CCW)

Stacchati
This was a race of tall, thin-limbed humanoids. (VD)

Stachrini, Eizzam
This man was the Director of the Priole Danna Festival, on Lamuir IV, during the years prior to the Clone Wars. As planets began to secede from the Republic and Separatist terrorist attacks became more prevalent, Stachrini was forced to cancel the Festival in order to maintain its safety and security. (HNN4, HNN5)

Stack, The
This vine-covered building served as the base of operations for the Freedom movement on Bakura, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Structurally, the Stack was quite sound, but much of it was rebuilt to accommodate the needs of Freedom. When their location was discovered, after a Malinza Thanas was allowed to escape from jail with a homing beacon attached to her clothing, the Stack was destroyed in an explosion which killed their pursuers and allowed the members of Freedom to escape. (FH2)

Stacked Deck
This converted Nebulon-B frigate served as the base of operations for the Crimson Aces, during the Galactic Civil War. (GMR9)

Stack-series Radiator
This piece of equipment was a necessary part of a pod racer, since the radiator bled off huge amounts of engine waste-heat during high speeds. The Stack-series was denoted by several models, each with a different number of rows of cooling capacity and efficiency. They range in size from a Stack-1 radiator, with limited heat dispersion capability, to a Stack-6 radiator, which was the most efficeint radiator. (RAC)

Stacy
This young woman was one of the many X-Wing fighter pilots who joined the Alliance, during the months following the Battle of Yavin. When Han Solo and Luke Skywalker were dispatched to Drunost to meet with the rebel cell there, Stacy was in the hangar. She said goodbye to Han, who used their encounter to make Leia Organa jealous.

Staff of Ragnos
see Scepter of Ragnos (JKAP)

Staffa, Raccyx
This heavy-set man was the planetary governor of Berchest, when Grand Admiral Thrawn rose to power four years after the Battle of Endor. He was unusual as an Imperial governor in that he was at one time a successful smuggler. After his retirement, he took his riches and started dabbling in politics. He retired to Berchest, and soon blackmailed the existing governor into stepping down and naming Staffa as his replacement. Staffa then implemented a regime in which he allowed smugglers to make their runs through Berchest, obtaining "informal taxes" which served to line his own coffers. The remnants of the Empire knew of his actions, but allowed him to continue in order to maintain the informational avenues the smugglers provided them. Staffa was ostensibly loyal to Thrawn, although many suspected that he merely paid lip-service to the Imperials. Staffa maintained many of his former smuggling contacts, including an ongoing relationship with Talon Karrde, to help supply many of the niceties he couldn't obtain through legitimate channels. He tried to keep this relationship a secret, but his chief aid, Fingal, managed to discover it and relay information back to Thrawn. (TLC, LCSB, TTSB)

Staga
A large, green-colored herd animal native to Ambria, they have shaggy tufts of fur at their shoulders, on an otherwise reptilian body.

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

Stak
This clone trooper was a member of Lighting Squadron, and participated in the liberation of the planet Ryloth, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. A skilled AT-RT pilot, Stak questioned the ability of the Twi'lek-trained blurrgs in combat, and was challenged by a Twi'lek handler to try and ride one. The trooper's willingness to make the attempt earned him the respect of the Twi'leks, especially Tae Boon, who allowed Stak to ride a blurrg during the assault on Lessu. During the assault, Stak and Razor accompanied Jedi Master Mace Windu on a mission to ensure that Lessu's plasma bridge remained active long enough for the Republic's forces to enter the city. (CWTV21)

Stak
This ancient Quarren surname meant "police warden". Like many Quarren surnames, it could be traced back to the time of the Battle of Ruusan. (GCG)

Stalbringion Hells
This was one of the many versions of the underworld that were recognized throughout the galaxy. It was believed that the Stalbringion Hells were parts of the myths and legends of the natives of Taanab, who spoke of at least eight different hells. (LSSM)

Stalgasin Hive
This colony of Geonosians was ruled by Archduke Poggle the Lesser during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis, after his rebellion against Hadiss the Vaulted was secretly funded by Darth Sidious. The Stalgasin colony produced immense hordes of battle droids for Count Dooku and the Separatists in one of the few factories which remained active during the last centuries of the Old Republic. The factory used a huge superlaser - based on the same design principles as the primary weapon of the first Death Star - to melt ores and raw materials, and its entire operation was controlled and performed by droids and advanced automation. Hidden deep within the Hive was an immense war chamber, equipped with sophisticated equipment that allowed the Separatists to monitor every aspect of the Battle of Geonosis, and provided them with enough leadtime that they could anticipate their defeat and put evacuation plans into place. In the wake of the Battle of Geonosis, the Stalgasin Hive remained a viable droid production facility, and survived the tumult of the Clone Wars and the upheaval of the so-called Jedi Rebellion to produce technologies for the Imperial Department of Military Research. (VD2, SWI66, IWE2, GORW)

Stalgis
This man was a Lieutenant with the armed forces of the Imperial Remnant, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When Luke Skywalker arrived at the Battle of Bastion and earned the respect of the Imperial leaders, Stalgis was assigned as a liaison to Skywalker's team, which was searching for the planet Zonama Sekot. (FH2)

Stalimur Pirates
This notorious pirate gang was active during the height of the New Order. (SWJ10)

Stalker
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer was assigned to the Death Squadron fleet serving Darth Vader, subjugating Outer Rim worlds during his search for Alliance bases.

Stalker Lizard
This flat-bodied reptile was native to Dantooine. Its purplish-blue scales evolved to match the coloration of the grasses which filled the plains of the planet, allowing it to stalk its prey with great efficiency. Like many reptilian creatures, stalker lizards hunted for their favorite prey , nettars, in the early morning and early evening, avoiding the heat of the day. The average stalker lizard measured more than three meters in length, and moved swiftly across the grasslands on four long legs. The hunt in packs, relying on surprise to bring down their prey. (COG)

Stalker Missile
Developed during the Galactic Civil War, this form of projectile used an inboard tracking system to acquire its target. Unlike conventional "smart" missiles, though, the stalker missile could reacquire a target which evaded it. It could keep trying to hit its target until it ran out of fuel. (HAS)

Stalkers
This small-time mercenary outfit was employed by Gennan Var in an effort to capture Nawnum the Hutt during the Galactic Civil War. (IA)

Stalking Moon
This Yuuzhan Vong yorik-stronha scoutship was the first ship sent into the Yag'Dhul System, as part of Nom Anor's plans to subjugate the Givin and use their system as a staging area for a portion of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet. The Stalking Moon was infiltrated by Corran Horn, Anakin Solo, and Tahiri Veila, during their escape from a small Yuuzhan Vong fleet. The ship had been equipped with a biological cloaking device, and was designed to drop into the Yag'Dhul system and scan for New Republic warships in the area. Tahiri was able to communicate with the ship and pilot it toward the Yag'Dhul space station, where the three Jedi were able to reach the Givin commanders and warn them of the impending invasion. (EVR, NJOSB)

Stalking Onsonker
This large, dog-like reptile was supposedly found on a remote world. Its vicious nature meant that it could rarely be exported, and only then if the handler was adept at controlling wild creatures. The onsonker's hide was a mottled purple color, and it had a series of fleshy tendrils running the length of its spine. Three heavy ear-like stalks contained the onsonker's ocular organs. Its huge head was dominated by a toothy maw, and its four legs were studded with three heavy claws. Stalking onsonkers reproduced by generating unusual seeds, much like a plant, which the onsonker placed inside a living host. The seeds then attached themselves to the stomach of the host, and fed on the nutrients they could absorb. Eventually, the infant onsonkers grew large enough to burst from their host, which they greedily consumed as their first meal. (TDV)

Stallion
This Imperial corvette was part of the task force that was dispatched to the NL-1 deep-space platform, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. (TIEP)

Stalnus
This maniacal Riorian was an anomaly of his kind. He would rather settle an argument with a vibroaxe than with calm reasoning. He spent much of his criminal career in the Tendo System, where he managed to elude capture. (WBC)

Stalpaac
This legendary Wookiee Elder rescued the young warrior Urothko from the fire-spirit known as a Graaa'shad. The spirit brought Urothko deep down into the forest, and prepared to kill him. Luckily for Urothko, Stalpaac intervened. Stalpaac shot the spirit with a bowcaster quarrel, then the two Wookiees launched an attack on the spirirt. Graaa'shad quickly retreated and fled, screaming that one day it would get revenge. In the aftermath of the battle, Urothko pledged his life to Stalpaac, since the older Wookiee had risked his own life to save him. The story of Urothko's rescue quickly spread to other villages, and it was believed to have been origin of the tradition of the Wookiee life-debt. (TTSB, OWS)

Stalsinek IV
This planet was rumored to be the site of an ancient temple that contained a maysterious fountain. The waters of the fountain were said to cure any disease and heal the more greivous of wounds instantly. However, if the being who drinks from the fountain ever knowingly speaks a falsehood, the effects of the water were immediately revoked. The temple was surrounded by virtually impassable jungle, and it was guarded by a native population of beastly creatures whose friendly nature was only discovered by those who stop to ask. (GMS)

This Majestic-class assault carrier was part of the New Republic's Fifth Battle Group, and participated in the initial blockade of the planet Doornik-319 during the Yevethan Purge. (SOL)

Stalwart
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer was the flagship of the fleet which was under the command of Moff Kurlen Flennic, protecting the planet Yaga Minor during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. After Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon returned from the Battle of Bastion alive and well, he retained the Stalwart as his own flagship, refusing to let Moff Flennic use it in a possible coup attempt. Pellaeon then sent the Stalwart to Borosk to lead the defense of the Imperial forces there against the Yuuzhan Vong. As part of Pellaeon's plans, the Stalwart was to take a moderate amount of damage and draw the Yuuzhan Vong forces in closer to the planet. Once the aliens were in position, the Defiant moved in to activate its gravitic amplitude modulator, which had been reprogrammed according to specifications from the Galactic Alliance. The GAM jammed the Yuuzhan Vong yammosk, allowing the Imperials to defeat the aliens and drive them out of the Imperial Remnant's space. (FH1)

Stalwart-class Light Freighter
Designed and produced for compete in the marketplace with the YT-1300, the Stalwart-class freighter measured 19.7 meters in length and could transport up to five passengers and 120 metric tons of cargo. A pilot and co-pilot were required to operate the ship, which was armed with a turret-mounted laser cannon. (PP)

Stan
This Imperial officer was a guard at the Tol Ado prison facility during the Galactic Civil War. He was in charge of disposing of prisoners who died under interrogation while on the Deathblock. (JH)

Stan
According to a HoloNet comic that appeared sometime during the height of the New Order, Stan was the leader of a group of Jawas who made a comfortable living selling droids to the residents of a settlement known as Dura Mater. Although he could speak Basic just fine, Stan always spoke in jibberish when dealing with the farmers of Dura Mater, to keep them off-balance. As part of a plan to extract even more credits from the hapless farmers, Stan worked with another Jawa known simply as Fred Jawa. Fred claimed to be a "consumer advocate", and explained that Stan had failed to provide full warranties. In this way, the Jawas sold the same droids to the farmers, but also made a profit selling them bogus "extended warranties". (T20)

Stana
This was the name used by the Myneyrshi to describe the clawbirds native to Wayland. (TTSB)

Stand Down, Beautiful Blaster
This was the deactivation signal used by Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, to shut down the systems of their Defender Droid, Nanna. Nanna was programmed to shut down completely if she heard these words in either Luke's or Mara's voice. (DN1)

Stand of Public Expression
Located in the major cities of the planet Dordolum, the Stand of Public Expression was an outdoor platform from which the city's inhabitants can speak to audiences about any topic and from any viewpoint without retribution. This historywas shattered when Klif and Drend Navett incited a riot on Dordolum, shortly after the Bothans were implicated in the destruction of Caamas. (SOP)

Standard
This was an older name for the Basic language. (HSL)

Standard Clear Frequencies
During the Old Republic, these broadcast frequencies were reserved for emergency purposes. The Republic maintained and monitored them, for they were especially forbidden for civilian use. The standard clear frequencies were used to transmit civil defense warnings and vital information to comlinks, datapads, and other public facilities. (IG1)

Standard Officers Intelligence Test
This Imperial aptitude test was geared toward identifying potential officers and commanders for the military. The minimum score required to be trained as an officer was 7. Anyone with a scored of 6 or below had to submit a Quality of Family Certificate in order to receive a second chance at officer's training. (FC)

Standard Time Unit
This was a measure of time equal to one hour of time on Coruscant. (SLS)

Standard Timepart
A basic unit of time measurement, the standard time part was based on the rotational period of the planet Coruscant. It had been used since the early time of the Old Republic. Note that it was unclear what a full timepart represented, as some sources list it as a Coruscant day, while other sources list it as something closer to a week. Shield of Lies states that there were 1,400 standard time parts in each Coruscant day. Roleplaying game materials have indicated that there were sixty seconds in a standard hour, and 24 hours in a standard day, as defined by Corsucant's rotational period. There were five days in a standard week, and seven weeks in a standard month. There were three festival weeks and three holidays, giving the standard year 368 days. (E4, HSE, RPG, SOL)

Standard-4
This was one of the oldest and most durable personal blasters manufactured by Merr-Sonn. (POT)

Standardized Basic
This was the name used to describe the standardized version of the Basic language that was instituted as the galactic language by the Galactic Empire. (CN2)

Standish, Anton
This New Republic Naval Admiral was the Sector Fleet Commander for the Kalinda System. (TSK)

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

Stang
This was an Alderaanian swear word that found its way into the jargon of many races and cultures. It could be used as an expletive or as a disparaging adjective, depending on the situation. (SME, DLS, DSTR, CWN)

Stanner, Mil
This smuggler worked from a base on the Vergesso Base asteroid,and specialized in moving small cargoes of spice and and other precious commodities on his modified starship, the Starlight Shifter. (SPG)

Stanz
This old, Bothan cargo hauler owned the starship Freebird, which he used to transport the settlers of New Brigia from the homeworld of Brigia. In return, the settlers paid Stanz a percentage of the chromite they mined on their new world. Stanz paid them only barest minimum of what the ore was worth, keeping the New Brigians in debt for a number of years. (BTS)

Stanz
This young boy worked in the fields with his friend Tenno, on the planet Ceriun, some 1,000 years before the Battle of Endor. When Tenno suggested that they take the Jedi holocron found by Ka'arn and keep it safe until a Jedi could travel to Ceriun to recover it, Stanz was among the group that agreed to help him. They also hoped that, maybe, a Sith might come looking for it, and take them all as apprentices. When the Sith did arrive and simply took the holocron, Tenno explained that they had been trying to ensure he could have it. Anger surged in the Sith, who explained that he needed no one's help before killing Stanz and the others as Tenno's "reward". (T17)

STAP
Indicating a single trooper aerial platform, this was the acronym used to describe the respulsorlift platforms used by the Trade Federation's battle droids. The STAP measured two meters tall, and had a foot platform and directional controls which were fitted to the battle droid structure. The basic design was created from an airhook developed by Longspur and Alloi. They were often armed with a pair of laser cannons, and were capable of speeds approaching 400 kilometers per hour. In addition to the standard model of STAP, and heavy-duty model was produced with more powerful laser cannons and missile launchers. These heavy STAPs were not as maneuverable as the base model, and had difficulty navigating rivers and valleys. (E1, E1N, X1, IG1, BFN, NEGV)

STAP-1
This was the model designation of Baktoid Armor Workshop's Single Trooper Aerial Platform, or STAP. (SON)

Staplarint
This quadripedal beast was introduced to the planet Brosi by Old Republic settlers. They were originally bred as mounts and beasts of burden, but were forgotten when repulsorlift technology became widespread. Modern staplarints have returned to their wild nature, although it was known that members of the Brosin Underground used them as mounts. (AIR)

Star
This was the designation of a group of Nharwaak Ywing fighters that tried to disrupt Admiral Zaarin's meeting with a group of Habeen diplomats, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. (TIEP)

Star Amber
This unusual gemstone was discovered on the planet Woteba. Most specimens of star amber were shaped like teardrops, and had a small, silver light that eminated from its center, thus giving the gemstone its name. It was believed that star amber was formed from the hardened sap of the hamogoni tree. (DN2)

Star Bantha
This was one of six Imperial bulk freighters assigned to the replenishment fleet which contained the Black Ice. (BI)

Star Barge
This Gallofree Yards transport was produced durnig the early years of the New Order. (DN2)

Star Breeze II
This Alliance transport was used to carry refugees from Cloud City to Kaliska, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (GMR3)

Star Cab
Officially known as Orlean's Star Explorer, the Star Cab was designed at a time when hyperdrives were extremely unreliable. However, even with the advent of the modern hyperdrive, there were a few Star Cabs still in service to this date. At 70 meters in length, this bulbous exploration and scout craft was crewed by a single pilot assisted by a complement of droids. The droids provided the same kinds of support as a modern R2 unit, but were much less advanced. The ship could carry up to eleven passengers and 40 cubic meters of cargo, but also stored up to five years' worth of consumables. This allowed the ship to travel for great periods of time before requiring a refitting. It was also well-armed, with a quartet of blaster cannons, but lacked any shields. (GG8)

Star Chamber
One of the many amusements found on Hologram Fun World, the Star Chamber contained a fully-interactive hologram of the entire galaxy. (GOF4)

Star Chamber
This immense, crystalline structure was the source of power for the Infinite Gates created by the Kwa. Each Gate was guarded by its own Star Chamber, which protected the integrity of the Gate without constant maintenance. One of the largest Star Chambers was found on the planet Dathomir, guarding what appeared to be the master Gate. At its heart, the Star Chamber contained a spherical command module that provided the immense power it controlled. During the last decades of the Old Republic, the Witches of Dathomir discovered the Chamber and tried to get past it, in an effort to escape their captivity. Matriarch Zalem and her clan spent years learning everything they could about the star chamber, and nearly succeeded but for a fail-safe device built into the Chamber. It destroyed the Gate on the planet Ova, subsuming the entire planet and sucking in a nearby starship. The Star Chamber on Dathomir was guarded by a nest of Guardian worms. (SWIE)

Star Chamber Cafe
A section of the Lucky Despot Hotel, the Star Chamber Cafe was also owned by the Whiphid, Lady Valarian. It was a famous restaurant located in Mos Eisley, on Tatooine. (TME, TJP)

Star Child
This was the name used by the Ewoks to describe a legendary being who fell from the stars, landing on the Forest Moon of Endor to help the Ewoks successfully defeat the Duloks. (MDCAR)

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

Star Cluster Casino
This casino was located on the moon Nar Shaddaa, more than 300 years after the Great Sith War. During this time, a group of professional thieves broken into the casino and rigged the computers that controlled the games. The thieves returned the next day, and made a number of small, simple bets that took advantage of the altered programming they had installed the night before. In a few hours, the thieves had made a small fortune, and simply disappeared from sight. By the time the casino's owners discovered alterations, the thieves had vanished into the expanse of the galaxy. (TOP1, SV)

Star Core
This was the codename of an Imperial research and development project that was tasked with developing a small, datapad-sized power generator that could produce enough power to accommodate an entire space station. It was believed that the Star Core project originated on Rori, at a facility in Restuss. This information was based on conjecture until the facility experienced a major disaster, when an explosion ripped through the Imperial facility and destroyed a large part of the city. The resulting shockwave spread for miles, toppling trees and levelling fields. (SWGAL)

Star Courier
This needle-shaped, 26.5-meter-long craft, developed by Republic Sienar Systems during the last decades of the Old Republic, served as the basis for the design of the Sith Infiltrator. (DSSB)

Star Cruiser
A heavy-duty Mon Calamari warship, they have lumpy pods on the hull housing armaments and command positions. (E6)

Star Defender
This was the generic term used to describe the new class of warships that was developed for the naval forces of the New Republic. Originally based on the simple designs of the Mon Calamari Star Defender, this class of ships included the Viscount-class and Strident-class Star Defenders, which first saw use in the early stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. (JE, SSOG)

Star Destroyer
This song, written and played by the band The Emperor's New Clothes, first appeared on the compilation Totally Patriotic. (GG9)

Star Destroyer
The huge, triangular-shaped warship at the forefront of the Imperial Navy, the Star Destroyer was actually first designed and developed during the last years of the Old Republic. There were four main classes of Star Destroyer during the eras of the New Order and the New Republic: the original Victory-class ships, developed by Rendili StarDrive for the Old Republic; their successor, the Imperator-, Imperial-I and Imperial-II class ships, developed by Kuat Drive Yards for the Empire; the huge Super-I class and Super-II class command ships; and the largest class, the Eclipse-class Star Destroyers. Like all capital ships, they were given names based on phrases and adjectives which described their strength and capabilities, such as Devastator and Agonizer. Luke Skywalker believed that Emperor Palpatine chose names which would also serve as a subconscious reminder to their crews that the ships were essentially the methods by which he corrupted people's souls.

Other variants of the Star Destroyer were produced for different mission profiles and governments. The Venator-class and Tector-class ships were produced during the height of the Clone Wars, after the Victory-class vessels proved too small to adequately participate against the droid forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The New Republic also produced several updated versions of the Star Destroyer, although vessels like the Republic-class and Nebula-class Star Destroyers were smaller than their Imperial cousins. (E4, E5, DE1, HTTE, SWSB, DESB, SOA, X3, SSOG)

Star Destroyer
The Special Operations units of the Alliance considered the Imperial Star Destroyer little more than 174,00 design flaws waiting to be exploited. Thus, a Star Destroyer was any objective that provided a unit with multiple opportunities to exploit the weaknesses of the enemy. (GG9)

Star Dragon
see Duinuogwuin (GG4)

Star Dreadnaught
This was another term used to describe the Executor-class Star Destroyer. (IWST)

Star Dream
Captain Hoban's transport ship (TJP)

Star Dream
A Yevethan cargo hauler used to transport chromite from the "purged" world of New Brigia. (BTS)

Star Explorer
see Star Cab (GG8)

Star Forge
This mysterious space station was the subject of an intense search by the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights, during the height of the Great Sith War. The Star Forge itself was an immense construct that was built by the Rakata race in orbit around their primary star. The main body of the station was a spherical hull that contained its massive power generation systems. Three long vanes were attached to the sphere's perimeter, and housed personnel and manufacturing facilities. The Star Forge was developed to harness the power of the star for use in generating droids, warships, and weapons for the Rakata. Additionally, the entire station was imbued with the Dark Side of the Force, drawing on the nexus of dark side energy that was located near Rakata Prime. Although the exact nature of how this happened remained a mystery, the fact was that this inherent power gave the Star Forge a sort of life of its own, and allowed the Rakata to use it to create almost anything they needed. However, when a plague struck the Infinite Empire and began wiping out the Rakata, the exact nature of the Star Forge and its utilization was lost. The station hung over Rakata Prime for millennia, without purpose but still strong with the Dark Side of the Force. It was this intense energy that drew Darth Malak and Darth Revan to the Unknown World during the height of the Sith War. They were able to manipulate the Rakata into a position where the Sith took control of the Star Forge, and used it to create huge numbers of Sith starfighters and other weaponry. To augment the power of the Star Forge, Darth Malak used captured Jedi Knights to provide living power for the station's core systems. After Darth Revan was captured by the Old Republic and his mind was wiped clean of his allegiance to the Sith, Revan was able to lead the Republic and the Jedi to the Unknown World and the Star Forge. After an intense struggle that became known as the Battle of Rakata Prime, the Star Forge was destroyed and Darth Malak was defeated by Revan, cutting off a primary source of Sith materiel. (SWDB, KOTOR, NECH, EGF)

Star Galleon-class Frigate
Built by the Kuat Drive Yards in an effort to help transport cargo and defend it at the same time, the Star Galleon was a 300-meter military cargo ship. It was generally regarded as all but impossible to capture, since it was well-shielded and well-armed for a ship of its size, boasting 10 turbolaser batteries and concussion missile launchers. The combination meant that the average Star Galleon-class frigate did not require an escort. The interior of the ship was designed so that the crew and onboard security forces could draw boarders into specific choke points, allowing them to defende the ship with a minimum of effort. The ship's interior was also equipped with anti-intrusion defenses, which helped to protect the nearly 100,000 metric tons of cargo it could transport. The cargo section was equipped with a small hyperdrive that could be activated by the main ship's navcom unit in case of emergency, allowing a crew to jettison a cargo and sent it into hyperspace to a preset destination. The Star Galleon-class frigate was manned by a crew of 150, with room for up to 300 troops. (DFR, ISB)

Star Hammer
This starship was owned by Joa Pqis, and was based out of Vobos. It was identified with New Republic Ship Registry number RN80-440330. (SOL)

Star Home
This was the name of the personal ship used by the Queen Mother of the Hapes Consortium. It was passed from queen mother to queen mother during the 4,000 years leading up to the Battle of Endor. Its design was based on the floorplan to the queen mother's castle, Per'Agthra, on Hapes. Note that the Hapes entries in Planet Hoppers indicate that the Star Home was based on the designs of the Fountain Palace. It was no match for the more modern capital ships, but it was truly unique and impressive in its own way. The basic design appeared to be a castle set upon a huge, five-pronged base formed from black basalt native to Hapes. As ungainly as it looked, Star Home was quite spaceworthy. It measured some 2,500 meters in diameter at the time of Prince Isolder's marriage to Teneniel Djo. The castle atop the ship contained living quarters, dining halls, meeting rooms, and a private hangar bay for the Queen Mother's personal transport ship. It was studded with towers that were capped with crystal domes that provided unlimited views of the stars. The interior of the castle appeared to have been cut from dark stone, and the decorations and adornments were all handcrafted on one of the Hapan worlds. Treasures of unspeakable wealth were proudly displayed in the halls and meeting rooms, having been collected during the 4,000-year existence of Star Home. The base of the castle was filled with Star Home's six Kerts-Bhrg power generators and engine systems. Like the five prong-like arms, the base was also constructed of basalt from Hapes. These basalt structures were very fragile in the vacuum of space, and were heavily protected by shield generators. Twenty-four sublight engines were required to move the ship through realspace; four Froond-class hyperdrive engines were slaved to a single motivator for hyperspacial travel. It was armed with twenty turbolasers, twenty laser cannons, and six tractor beams. Sixty Miy'til starfighters could also be carried in the docking bays, along with numerous shuttles and transports. The crew of the Star Home consisted of 500 engineers, ninety starfighter pilots, fifty officers, and 100 soldiers. (CPL, EGV, CTD, PH)

Star Hotel
Found in the capital city of Somin City, on the planet Seltos, it was here that a group of New Republic diplomats stayed while conducting meetings with the new government of Seltos. The government had been set up after the populace overthrew the pro-Imperial rulership some years after the Battle of Endor. The Star had ten floors, with penthouse suites on the top-most floor. (TSK)

Star Jewel
Jabba the Hutt's personal starship, the Star Jewel was a spade-shaped Ubrikkian luxury yacht. Well-shielded and armed with six turbolasers, the Star Jewel was equipped with a Ubrikkian N2 ion engines supported by three T-c40 ion engines. The landing bay carried six Z-95 Headhunters and a pair of shuttles. (THG, EGV)

Star Lady
This highly-modified YT-1300 freighter was owned and operated by Fenig Nabon. Ghitsa Dogder used to kid Fenig that there was a Wookiee-sized bunk on the Star Lady in case Fenig ever got a chance to seduce Han Solo. Fen claimed the bunk was oversized to accommodate Ghitsa's expansive wardrobe. Fen's attention to details included security for the ship. She didn’t kid herself about the resourcefulness of pirates or thieves, and installed an Incom 433 security system. Also, she placed in pin in the seam of the main hatch whenever she left the ship. If she returned to find the pin on the ground, she'd know that the ship had been breached. If the pin was moved about three inches, it was a code to indicate that someone wanted to talk to her in person, and was waiting aboard ship. (TFNR, GMR2)

Star Map
This ancient map was believed to have been created by the Rakata race, millennia before the Great Sith War, to provide instructions for locating the Star Forge. The map itself was actually made up of several smaller maps, which needed to be placed together in a certain way to form the overall Star Map. Like the Star Forge, the Star Map and its pieces were imbued with the Dark Side of the Force. The smaller maps were scattered across the galaxy to prevent anyone from locating the Star Forge, but clues eventually led to their discovery on Dantooine, Manaan, Kashyyyk, and Tatooine. The four pieces were located some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin by Bastila Shan and her fellow Jedi Knights, who were searching for the whereabouts of Darth Malak. (SWDB, KOTOR)

Star Map Room
This vast chamber was located in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It contained a huge holographic map of the known galaxy, which was continually monitored by no less than twelve Jedi who looked for potential trouble areas that might require the Order's intervention. Smaller versions of the Star Map Room were maintained in each of the five spires of the Jedi Temple, for use in training and discussion. Those Jedi Knights who were traveling the galaxy on various missions always transmitted galactic data back to the Star Map Room, so that it's displays could be as up-to-date as possible. In the wake of the Clone Wars, the Star Map Room was all but destroyed in the fighting that occurred during the so-called Jedi Rebellion. (RF, PJSB, LJ10)

Star Map Sphere
This was another name for a map record. (MF)

Star Morning
This Koqus Starliner had a busy, eventful career under several other names before it was purchased by the Fallanassi who lived on the planet Teyr. It had previously been known as the Mandarin, the Pilgrim, and the Congene before being named the Star Morning. They bought the ship when they were preparing to flee the planet. Luke Skywalker, while searching for the Fallanassi with Akanah, discovered its history as well as its whereabouts. It had left the planet Motexx just before the Battle of Endor, bound for Gowdawl with a full load of cargo. It never reached Gowdawl, and was lost for a year before it showed up on Arat Fraca. From there, the ship landed on Darepp, and then visited several colony worlds before it returned to Motexx. Luke discovered it on Vulvarch when they were putting into Atzerri, but Akanah chose not to pursue it. The Star Morning, at that time, was involved in a complex rescue of several Fallanassi and other inhabitants of the Koornacht Cluster which were captured by the Yevetha. With a number of illusions generated by key Fallanassi, it appeared to the Yevetha that their captives were still in the holds of the Pride of Yevetha. In fact, the Star Morning had been able to recover all but the few who remained behind to perpetuate the illusions. Following the Battle of N'zoth, the Star Morning rendezoused with the Intrepid to collect Wailu and Akanah. The Fallanassi had agreed that it was time for them to disappear for awhile, in order to absorb their losses at the hands of the Yevetha and re-evaluate their place in the galaxy. (SOL, TT)

Star Mother
A Bdas deity. (SOL)

Star of Alderaan
A medal presented by the Alliance for exemplary service to the Alliance, the Star of Alderaan was designed to commemorate the contributions of Bail Organa and the people of Alderaan to the rebellion against the Empire. This award was given to those Alliance starfighter pilots who completed three tours of duty during the Galactic Civil War. (XW, XWP)

Star of Alderaan
This the name of the CR70 corvette that was purchased by Queen Mazicia Organa of Alderaan, for use as a Senatorial transport, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. The ship originally conveyed Senator Agrippa Aldrete from Alderaan to Coruscant and back, and was later placed in the service of Viceroy and Senator Bail Organa. After upgrading the ship to the CR90 specifications, Senator Organa renamed the vessel Tantive IV, in honor of his ambassadorial counterparts from the Tantive System. (SWI90)

Star of Empire
One of the luxury starliners owned by Haj Shipping Lines. It was an ovoid ship nearly 2,000 meters in length, and was laser-painted a brilliant blue. Forty portholes ran along each side, denoting staterooms. (RD, GOF10)

Star of Iskin
This was one of the many tramp freighters which traveled to Coruscant during the Clone Wars, looking for easy credits by transporting refugees and terrified citizens away from the capital planet. Finis Valorum boarded the ship some sixteen months into the Clone Wars, after visiting with Senator Bail Organa and imploring him to fight against the machinations of Chancellor Palpatine. Just after liftoff, the Star of Iskin exploded, killing Valorum and all others aboard. (RDE)

Star of the Tion
This modified YT-1300 was owned by the Alliance cell that worked on the planet Lianna. (ML)

Star Palace
This luxury liner was attacked by Imperial forces, which were led to believe the ship harbored Alliance supports. The entire casino deck was opened to the vacuum of space, and the ship's Captain and a prominent Corellian family were taken into custody. They were never heard from again. (RESB)

Star Pond
This was one of the many places where the Jedi Knights of the Galactic Alliance came to meditate, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (DN3)

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

Star Quest
This Suwantek TL-1800 light freighter was owned by Tere Metallo. This ship had been never been modified from its stock arrangement, as Metallo was not a mechanic. The Star Quest arrived on Garos IV, and provided a link to information required by Magir Paca and the rebels who were fighting against the Imperial control of the planet, shortly after the Battle of Endor. (SWJ6, SWJ7)

Star Rally
This was the name of a series of races in which starship captains had to travel from one world to another, completing a circuit of several planets. One of the best-known races was the Dahvil-Fodro Hyperspace Promenade. (ND, CRO)

Star Reamer
This Damorian medium transport ship was part of the fleet maintained by CorDuro Shipping, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Its mission was described as the transport of bacta to various bacta parlors across the galaxy. CorDuro had other plans for the bacta however, having made a deal with the Yuuzhan Vong to turn over the shipment to the aliens for analysis. The Star Reamer was intercepted by Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon, who had been working from information provided to Tesar Sebatyne and Izal Waz, by their Master, Eelysa. (REC)

Star Room

Star Runner
This was the name of Kea Moll's star cruiser. (DCAR)

Star Saber
An experimental attack ship developed just before the Great Sith War for use by the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights. Designated the XC-01 by Republic Fleet Systems, it was a long, needle-shaped ship with wide wings and twin tailfins. (DLS, PJSB)

Star Sea Flower
This aging, though heavily modified YT-1150 transport was owned and operated by Charza Kwinn during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Priapulin used it to transport various Jedi Knights across the galaxy whenever anonymity was needed. Charza maintained it in order to maintain an environment which catered to his own needs, so much of the ship was filled with water. In the waters, Charza's extended family lived and worked. Whenever a Jedi was traveling with him, though, Charza maintained several rooms aboard the ship which could be modified to the Jedi's particular environmental needs. (RP)

Star Seeder
This Kuat Drive Yards colonization ship was well-known for its durability and capacity. At 250 meters in length and with 3,000 cubic meters of cargo space, the Star Seeder could easily transport up to 800 colonists with little problem. It required a command crew of 26, with 143 crewers or more depending on the size of the expedition. Itsw deep-bellied cargo section was compartmentalized, allowing the colonists the ability to transport plants, animals, droids, building materials, and other necessities in separate areas adapted to each type of cargo. A small hangar bay contained enough space for a small shuttle, several speeders, and other ground equipment. The ship was shielded, and armed with six turbolaser batteries and a tractor beam projector. It was hyperspace as well as atmosphere capable. (GG8)

Star Shocked
This was one of the more popular taverns that were found in the city of Gadrin, on the planet Cularin, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (JST2)

Star Shuttle
Developed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation during the last decades of the Old Republic, this lozenge-shaped craft was designed to transport large groups of beings safely and luxuriously. The Star Shuttle was popular with the Senators and diplomats of the Old Republic, and was one specially outfitted for use by the Supreme Chancellor. The hull of the craft was shaped like a long hill or mound, with a flat base and a rounded upper section. The engine systems were borrowed from the Republic Cruiser, having the distinguishing triangular configuration. At eighty meters in length, the Star Shuttle had space for up to 200 passengers and 900 metric tons of cargo. These ships were heavily armored, and as diplomatic craft, were unarmed. (WOTC)

Star Skimmer
This was a type of small starship that was used for atmospheric flight, but could also be flown on short, interstellar trips. (DIV, DOG)

Star Slinger
This prototype swoop was developed on Shesharile 5 by Chop Harlison. It combined the chassis of a Mobquet Nebulon-Q racer with the repulsor coils of an Aratech 64-Y Swift 3, and used a combination of Tibanna gas and stabliziers in eleveated concentrations to provide added speed and cooling. The Star Slinger was armed with a blaster cannon that was controlled with the targetting systems of a Merr-Sonn PLX-2 missile launcher. (SWJ6)

Star Stalker
This was the name of the starship owned by the Rodian bounty hunter hired by Ranon Djelkh to transport a mole serpent to Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. Djelkh hoped to use the wormin an attempt to assassinate Jabba the Hutt, but the bounty hunter was caught in a sandwhirl upon arrival. The ship crashed into the surface of Tatooine, blocking the entrance to a cave used as a shelter by a group of Sandpeople. The mole serpent escaped, and killed many of the Sandpeople and their banthas when they tried to escape. The ship was badly damaged, but was eventually removed from the cave by a group of smugglers who had befriended A-Zulmun. (SOT)

(ST, NEGD)

Star Trader
This was the name of the modified Ghtroc freighter acquired by Lirina Casti, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Lieutenant Casti was ordered to take the ship and, along with a team of Alliance agents, ambush the Imperial prison ship Caged Animal near Lish V. The plan was to rescue a group of captured Alliance operatives, but Moff Ramier had substituted zero-G stormtroopers for the prisoners. Casti and her team were forced to crashland on Lish V. (FBS)

This ship was owned and operated by Renna Strego. Strego volunteered the ship to assist in the defense of Nar Shaddaa, during the Imperial attack commanded by Admiral Greelanx. The Star Traveler was dispatched to assist in taking out the initial picket line of Greelanx's formation. (THG)

Star Tunnel
This was one of the more unusual, interstellar phenomena that occurred in several nebulae across the galaxy. A star tunnel was formed from a set of stars that rotated around a powerful energy source. They stars were drawn to the gravity of the energy source, which spewed its energy outward in a column. The stars then circulated around this column of energy, creating the physical "tunnel." Because these phenomena occurred across light-years of space, they often drew in gases from nearby nebulae, and could even siphon off the atmosphere of neighboring planets, creating the visual "tunnel" by spinning multi-colored gases around the column of energy. They were extremely difficult to fly through, as the concentrated energies of the star tunnel's core and its constituent stars caused devastating problems to many starship systems. Compounding these problems, gravitic changes caused intense variations in shear and orientation, which could literally tear a starship apart. (LJ2)

Star Urchin Quill
This was the Basic translation of the Ewok name for the poisonous quills of a Dandelion Warrior. One out of every hundred or so quills was filled with a form of venom, and these quills split open into a star shape when they struck flesh, in order to release the poison. Ewok shamans prized the spent quills for their medicinal value. (OWS)

Star Wing
This was the Basic name used by a Duinuogwuin Star Dragon who encountered a team of Alliance agents in Elrood Sector, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Star Wing's true name was virtually unpronounceable by most humanoid species. Star Wing had been living near the Kuras System, hiding from the Imperial forces which patrolled the sector by staying on the far side of The Drift. He was an explorer, and cared little for the "petty politics" of the galaxy at large. However, he recognized when they impacted his explorations, so he hid behind The Drift. Star Wing tried to cross The Drift, but found he didn't have the stamina to make it. Star Wing was slowly starving to death from lack of oxygen when he encountered the Alliance team, which was searching for the planet Alluuvia and the captured Gray Griffins. The Alliance team rigged up a docking port, and provided Star Wing with several minutes of breathing pure oxygen from their stores. The grateful Star Dragon later helped the Alliance team break through the forces of the Scourge pirates, in order to repay his debt. A blast of superheated gas from his stomach knocked out the Impasse, allowing the Alliance ships to leave safely. (OE)

Star Yacht
This model of luxury liner was developed by Koensayr during the final decades of the Old Republic. Measuring seventy-two meters in length, the Star Yacht was designed to cater to the needs of a small group of passengers.

A strike cruiser by design, the Staraker was distinguished by its box-shaped engine section. The perimeter of the engine section was lined with sublight drives, which surrounded the main hyperdrive. The main cockpit was pointed and sleek, and was angled down slightly from the spine of the ship, giving the Staraker an insectile appearance. The Staraker was badly damaged over the planet Alashan, when Luke and Leia were dispatched to the remote world to investigate the loss of an archaeological team. The planet itself fired an energy beam which disabled the Staraker, bringing the ship down. Most of the ship was damaged beyond repair in the crash-landing, before the craft was buried beneath tons of lava. (MCI5)

StarAnvil
Produced by Imperial Munitions, the StarAnvil heavy blaster rifle was developed to cause large amounts of damage. However, this ability drained the weapon's power packs quickly, making the StarAnvil a weapon of fear more than firepower. Many weapons experts considered this weapon in the same vein as the BlasTech Longblasters, although the StarAnvil was considered much more accurate and powerful. The original StarAnvil production plant on Cuthbern was quickly annexed by the Empire because of its high quality. (GUN, AEG)

Starbuster Plot
The name given to the Sacorrian Triad's plan to use the Corellian planetary repuslors in concert with the huge hyperspace respulsor found inside Centerpoint Station to destroy a series of stars until the New Republic submitted to their demands. The Triad wanted to control the Corellian System, and went to great lengths to achieve their goals. They set up and/or financed rebellions on all five Corellian worlds, including Thrackan Sal-Solo and the Human League. The Triad managed to destroyed two stars before things started to go wrong. The first was that Thrackan Sal-Solo took credit for the plot, and nearly got his hands on the Drallian respulor. The second was the timely intervention of the Bakuran fleet, coupled with the incredible talents of the Solo children. The fleet defeated the Sacorrian fleet which was trying to defend Centerpoint, while Anakin Solo used his blossoming ability with the Force to fire the Drallian repulsor and deflect the third shot from Centerpoint. Once the Sacorrian fleet was defeated and the weapon controlled, the Triad surrendered. (AS, SC)

Starcat
This was the first and only light freighter in the Starcat-class of ships. It was designed and custom-built by Salem Victory and Dapp Slous, with help from a group of outlaw techs on Nar Shaddaa. Their goal - achieved with a high level of success - was to create a heavily-armed freighter without sacrificing cargo space. The Starcat was the result, armed with a pair of concussion missile launchers and three turret-mounted double laser cannons, while retaining 65 metric tons of cargo space and the ability to transport the pilot, co-pilot, and up to six passengers. (SWJ13)

Captain Starchaser commanded the Jedi Dreamer during his tenure with the New Republic. Prior to serving as a scout, Starchaser was a noted starfighter pilot with a knack for space travel. He was noted for his non-belief in the Force, and was quoted as saying Luke Skywalker was "a truly fine pilot," but lacked any special skills or powers. (SWJ6, SWJ8)

Starchaser IV
This service and support vessel was purchased by Janvar Jan, and served as part of the small fleet of vessels that were owned by Cularin Star Tours. The Starchaser IV was a Wayfarer-class transport that had been refitted to serve as a search and rescue vessel, for use in offloading passengers in the event that one of the main luxury liners experienced an emergency. However, by the time Janvar Jan was ready to offer cruises, the Starchaser IV was still in need to work. The original crew was delayed in reaching Cularin due to the tensions between the Old Republic and the Separatists, forcing Jan to hire a group of freelance agents to get the ship ready for duty and fly it during the first few cruises CST had booked.

Diagnosis and investigation revealed that the ship had been in a large battle with pirates, and sustained heavy damage while fighting them off. A small group of assistants was hired to get the ship ready to fly. Among the many systems that required repair were the tractor beam generator, a quad laser turret, an ion cannon, and a docking claw, all of which came in handy when the freelance crew had to make four rescues during its first week on the job. These rescues then led the crew to realize that they were involved in something fairly sinister, as the scientists who had rented the Perihelion turned out to be the Liana Liberators. The crew chased the terrorists through the Cularin Asteroid Belt, risking damage to both ships, until they were able to disable the Perihelion and apprehend the Liana Liberators. (REPL)

However, the other three AT-ATs under his command fell into crevasses, and Starck was forced to wind his way north to regroup with Veers. During the battle itself, the Blizzard 4 walker was sabotaged by Luke Skywalker, who used his lightsaber to open a hole in its belly. He then threw a grenade into the walker, which promptly exploded. Starck and all aboard were killed in the the resulting destruction of Blizzard 4. (IWST)

Stark, Iaco
This charismatic young pirate rose to prominence some ten years before the Battle of Naboo, building a small fleet of starships into a large, well-organized collection of pirates and smugglers known as the Stark Commercial Combine. Under Stark's control, the Combine was charged with ambushing Outer Rim supply convoys for the goods they carried. Stark then sold the stolen goods on the black market for a considerable profit, while still undercutting the prices of the Trade Federation. This brash marketeering earned him the admiration of his fellow criminals, but also earned him the attention of the Old Republic Senate and the Jedi Knights. During an engineered shortage of bacta, Stark's piracy was hailed as heroic by many Outer Rim worlds which were low on bacta supplies. He agreed to meet with representatives from the Trade Federation and the Old Republic, along with four Jedi Knights to serve as mediators, on the Troiken. He managed to preemptively put a halt to the machinations of Nute Gunray and Ranulph Tarkin, as the two had been planing to destroy the Stark Commercial Combine. Instead of being trapped, Stark was able to unleash a navigational computer virus which infected all of the Republic's starships. This action was the opening play in the events which became known as the Stark Hyperspace Wars. The Jedi anticipated Stark's next move, to assassinate anyone who was not a member of the Combine, but Nute Gunray allowed Stark to escape. Stark's forces pushed hard against the meager Republic forces, but were unable to defeat them. Stark's own allies began to doubt his skills and leadership, and eventually they abandoned him. Stark fled Troiken, and eventually became part of the Commerce Guild, serving as a "legitimate" businessman. (OWS, WOTC, SHW)

This timing comes from the official Star Wars website. Star Wars: The Stark Hyperspace War indicates that the War took place just eight years before the Battle of Naboo. Historians trace the cause of the war to the actions of Iaco Stark, whose brash marketeering had undermined the efforts of the Trade Federation to strangle the Mid and Outer Rim Territories. In the midst of Stark's actions, the Trade Federation and the Xucphra cartel began hording supplies of bacta, causing a galaxy-wide shortage while hoping to reap huge profits. Self-styled General Ranulph Tarkin tried to destroy the Stark Commercial Combine by amassing a small warfleet from his supporters in the Old Republic military. He convinced Nute Gunray to tell him that Stark was meeting with representatives of the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights on Troiken, so Tarkin set out to confront him. However, Stark caught wind of Tarkin's plans. He unleashed a navigational computer virus on Tarkin's fleet; some ships flew into the hearts of stars or black holes, some were hopelessly lost, and just a few emerged from hyperspace near Troiken. During the battle, the forces of the Old Republic were devastated after the death of Jedi Master Tyvokka, who was leading them. Tyvokka's apprentice, Plo Koon, rose to the occasion, taking up the mantle of the fallen Master and rallying the Republic's troops for an unlikely and miraculous victory. Note that MedStar I: Battle Surgeons indicates that the Stark Hyperspace Wars took place 5,000 years before the Clone Wars. (COD, OWS, WOTC, MBS)

Stark Memory
This song, performed by Lord Kavad and the Skaalite Orchestra, was one of the galaxy's most popular numbers during the year leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN5)

Stark Veteran Assembly
This foundation was established by the survivors and families of those killed in the Stark Hyperspace Conflict, to ensure that the Old Republic recognized the need for benefits and requirements of the war's veterans. Shortly before the Clone Wars, the Assembly denounced the peace rallies which were held by Senator Padme' Amidala of Naboo, who said in her speeches that "warfare was the product of cowarice; only the bravest of beings can resolve conflict peacefully." (HNN4)

Stark Wing
This cruiser was part of the Thaereian Navu's blockade of the Cularin System, during the height of the Clone Wars. The ship was ostensibly patrolling the system under the mandate of the Galactic Senate, to protect Cularin from invasion by Separatist forces. However, the ship was found adrift by a group of freelance agents who were working for Nirama, as part of a group of blockade runners who were providing relief to the citizens of Cularin. The agents boarded the vessel, which had suffered engine failure, only to find dead bodies everywhere. Unlike the ships that were being attacked by the shadow lurkers, the Stark Wing appeared to be the site of a massacre. The entire crew, including Captain Jans Tolen, apparently went mad, shooting and killing each other in blind confusion. Later, after the operatives were drawn into the realm of the shadow lurkers and returned, those members of the crew of the Stark Wing who were taken by the shadow lurkers suddenly reappeared unharmed. (BIT2)

Starkid, Zoltan
This heavy-set, balding man was the Director and Chief Salesman of Millennium Astro-Engineering prior to the Galactic Civil War. It was rumored that he sold the prototype Millennium Falcon to Grand Moff Tarkin, just before it was stolen by Han Solo and Chewbacca. Starkid was later killed when the Alliance raided the Millennium Astro-Engineering plant and destroyed it before it could produce any more starships for the Empire. (CSWDW)

Starkiller
This was the codename for the massive superweapon developed by the Separatists, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Starkiller was officially designated as a hyper-point destabilizer, capable of causing immense gravitic anomalies at a point within hyperspace. The forces of the Old Republic believed that the Starkiller project was being constructed on Kromus, and dispatched Jedi Master Darrus Jeht and the small task force supporting the Maelstrom to eliminate it. The Separatists had constructed the Starkiller facility in and around a thriving city of some two million beings, forcing Master Jeht to regroup his forces for a ground assault. When the support staff activated the Starkiller weapon, Master Jeht was left with a pair of devastating choices. On one hand, he could save the population of Kromus, but allow the Starkiller to escape. On the other hand, he could eliminate the Starkiller and save billions of live across the galaxy, but sacrifice the city's population. Ultimately, Master Jeht was forced to destroy the Starkiller, wiping out the more than two millions beings who lived in its vicinity. Unfortunately for the Republic, the destruction of the hyper-point destabilizer caused intense seismic and atmospheric damage to Kromus, and the planet was abandoned as dead by both sides of the fighting. (LFCW)

Starkiller
This was the codename used to describe Darth Vader's secret apprentice. The Starkiller had been raised from infancy by Vader and his minions, and he grew up in a hidden section of the Star Destroyer Executor. Although Vader was a common presence, the Starkiller's closest companion was the unique droid known as PROXY. PROXY helped to train the Starkiller in all forms of lightsaber combat, while Vader focused his efforts on deepening his connection to the Dark Side of the Force. By the time he was in his late teens, the Starkiller had carried out many missions for Vader, and truly believed that he would one day join Vader in overthrowing the Emperor. Nevertheless, he was surprised and upset when he confronted General Rahm Kota on Nar Shaddaa.

Kota was one of the many Jedi who had survived the Clone Wars and Order 66, and had managed to disable a large portion of a starfighter production facility on Nar Shaddaa. The Starkiller traveled to the Smugglers' Moon with his new pilot, Juno Eclipse, and confronted Kota. The battle was intense, but the Starkiller finally managed to gain the upper hand. As he leaned in to kill Kota, the Starkiller had a vision in which Kota's face changed into one that was eerily similar to his own. Reacting with rage, the Starkiller flung Kota from their ledge, and only stopped to collect the Jedi Master's lightsaber before returning to report to Vader.

After dispatching Jedi Master Kazdan Paratus on Raxus Prime, the Starkiller was ordered to locate and destroy Shaak Ti on Felucia. With this mission complete, he returned to Vader aboard the Executor and expected to be given a new assignment. However, the Starkiller found himself being impaled by Vader's lightsaber, during a conversation between Vader and Emperor Palpatine. Vader then used the Force to fling the Starkiller through a viewport and into space, where the apprentice believed his life would end. Thus, it was with no small amount of surprise that he awoke in a hospital bed aboard the Empirical, restrained against any form action, with Vader standing over him. The Dark Lord of the Sith explained that he needed the Emperor to believe that the Starkiller was dead, in order to continue their work in secret. Vader explained that Emperor Palpatine had ordered him to kill his apprentice, and used this as a way to increase the Starkiller's anger and aggression. Vader then provided Rahm Kota's lightsaber to the apprentice, to replace the one he had lost when he was "killed". Vader then commanded the apprentice to seek out the leaders of the growing rebellion against the Empire and help them expand their efforts. With the Emperor busy trying to quell the growing rebellion, Vader believed that he and the Starkiller could strike the Emperor down and assume control of the galaxy for themselves.

With a new weapon, the Starkiller set out to escape from the Empirical and carry out Vader's orders. He was aided by PROXY, although the droid tried to prevent him from rescuing Juno Eclipse during their escape. They fled to Nar Shaddaa, hoping to learn if General Kota had survived his fall. They tracked Kota to Cloud City, and the Starkiller had to fight through waves of Imperial troops to get him free. Once away from Bespin, Kota directed the Starkiller to Kashyyyk, where he infiltrated the Imperial outpost there on a mission to locate one of Kota's contacts. The woman might have been Princess Leia Organa, and she gave him information on how to eliminate the skyhook that the Empire was building to facilitate the enslavement of Wookiees. Against Kota's wishes, Starkiller also investigated a hut he found in the jungle, which seemed to have a strange connection to the Force.

Inside the hut, the Starkiller had to use all his strength and skills to kill a Jedi Knight who was hiding there, but this effort brought on a strange, waking vision through the Force. In the vision, and man and a Wookiee walked into the hut and addressed the apprentice. The man spoke but a few words, but indicated that he was the Starkiller's father, and that he had never meant for him to become an agent of evil. The man then used the Starkiller's given name, Galen, and explained that he was sorry. This revelation shook the apprentice to his core, and he was unsure how to reconcile this new information with the knowledge he had been given during his training by Darth Vader. Upon leaving the hut, the Starkiller discovered a small, blue crystal, which he placed in Kota's lightsaber to make the weapon his own. The group then rescued Senator Bail Organa on Felucia, where the Starkiller was confronted by Maris Brood. Rather than killing the woman, the Starkiller let her go free, hoping that she would be able to return to the Light Side of the Force.

On Vader's orders, the Starkiller then traveled back to Raxus Prime, on a mission to destroy the Imperial shipyards in orbit around the planet. The mission would serve as a rallying cry for the rebel leaders he was recruiting, giving them reason to believe that they could rise up against the Emperor. Although the shipyards were destroyed, one of the Star Destroyers in drydock fell free of the shipyards and plummeted to the planet's surface. It would have killed the Starkiller, who was trapped on the planet, if he hadn't drawn upon the Force to push it away. After escaping from Raxus Prime, the Starkiller and Rahm Kota both agreed to travel to Corellia, where Bail Organa and Mon Mothma were meeting with Garm Bel Iblis to discuss open rebellion against the Empire. Unfortuntately, Vader tracked them to Corellia, and captured Kota and the Senators before the Starkiller could react. Vader sneered at him during the attack, opening revealing that the Starkiller had never figured in his plans to take control of the galaxy. Instead, the Starkiller was simply a means to an end.

Vader did his best to kill his former apprentice, but the Starkiller refused of bow to the Dark Lord, and he set out to rescue the rebels after Vader transported them to the first Death Star. In orbit near Despayre, the Starkiller was able to rescue his friends, but he was forced to confront Vader directly, while Emperor Palpatine himself looked on. The apprentice, however, realized that killing Vader would only lead him further down the path to the Dark Side of the Force. When Vader tried to kill Rahm Kota, the Starkiller chose to sacrifice his own life in order to ensure their escape. He gladly accepted this sacrifice, stepping in front of Vader's killing blow, knowing that it would allow the Senators to escape and form the Alliance to Restore the Republic. In the aftermath of the rescue, Bail Organa revealed the Juno Eclipse and Rahm Kota that the Starkiller's full name had been Galen Marek. (TFUN)

Starkiller, Bendak
This man was a noted duelist who lived on the planet Taris some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Because of the many deaths he had caused - although some of them were the result of inexperienced challengers - Bendak found himself a wanted man. A significant bounty was placed on his head, and he fled to the remote world fof Taris. Bendak often fought in the gladiator arena owned by Ajuur the Hutt, but only when an opponent had beaten all the rest of Ajuur's gladiators. He was finally defeated by one of the Jedi Knights who were on Taris following the destruction of the Endar Spire. (KOTOR)

Starkiller, Pashna
One of the New Republic's foremost military advisors, Starkiller was originally recruited into the fledgling Alliance by Bail Organa. Starkiller worked for many years as a recruiter and agent in the city of Bela Vistal, on Corellia. In the wake of the Alliance's victory at the Battle of Endor, Marshall Starkiller retired from active duty, but remained an active member of the New Republic's advisory committee. (DESB, ROE, SWJ15, SWGAL)

Starkiller, Windom
One of Luke's friends at Anchorhead on Tatooine, Windom Starkiller was known simply as Windy to his friends. Windy was something of a daredevil, and was just as rambunctious as Luke. When they were young boys, they got stuck in the desert when they set out after Luke's pet dewback, Huey. They escaped from a krayt dragon only after Ben Kenobi helped them out, driving off the krayt dragon with the Force before bringing the boys back their homes in one piece. Kenobi had to carry Windy back home, after the young boy fainted due to exhaustion. Some time later, Windy was flying with Luke when young Skywalker flew his skyhopper through the Needle in Beggar's Canyon. The fact that they barely skimmed through the eye of the Needle ensured that Windy never tried to duplicate the feat. Years later, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, Windy called his old friends together to celebrate the life of their friend, Biggs Darklighter, who was killed while trying to destroy the first Death Star. (E4, DHP3, LLOW, RF3)

Starknife
This modified Kuat Drive Yards D9 Runner was owned by Black Sun and operated by Kalend Thora. It was armed with a turret-mounter double laser cannons and a proton torpedo launcher. Its previous pilot had been assassinated in an ambush, but Black Sun never discovered the reasons behind the attack. (SSR)

Starlady
This modified Z-10 Seeker was owned by Debret Nightmoon. (SWJ5)

Starlancer Prime
This was the primary pipefighter in the small grouping developed by the New Republic as part of Operation Starlancer. The laser beams emitted by the other three pipefighters merged with Starlancer Prime's lasers, which were pointed at Coruscant. (EL1)

Starlifter
Manufactured by Travis Motors, this sixteen-meter-long cargo craft was designed to move heavy crates from one location to the other. Equipped with a heavy-duty lifting claw, the Starlifter could transport a single cargo module weighing up to 75 mertric tons. While the cockpit was designed to accommodate a pilot, the Starlifter could also be operated by a droid. (CCW)

Starlight Bank
A bank on Hologram Fun World robbed by Zorba the Hutt, in an attempt to drive the holographic theme park out of business. (QE)

Starlight by Moonlight
This song was played by the music ball given to Elscol Loro by her husband, Throm, on their third anniversary. (XWRS)

Starlight Cloud
This Sullustan starliner made regular cruise trips during the height of the New Order. It was run by SoroSuub's Entertainment Division during this time. Because of the presence of Iona Wince aboard the ship as a steward, Alliance agents often met aboard the liner in order to pass information and make plans for future missions. (CRO)

Starlight Dancers
This dance troupe was active on the planet Taris, during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)

Starlight Deck
This was one of the luxurious decks found aboard the luxury line Star of Empire. (SFE)

Starlight Freighter
This series of freighter was among the most popular ships that were designed and manufactured by Rendilli-Surron, the joint company formed by Rendili StarDrive and Surron StarTech. The Starlight Freighter was basically a flying wing, although the aesthetics and primary design were distinctly Surronian. In overall shape, the Starlight Freight looked like a huge vibroaxe, with the blade-shaped cargo section sitting to the right of a cylindrical fuselage. The Starlight Freighter measured 34 meters in length, and could transport four passengers and up to fifty metric tons of cargo. The cockpit, which was similar in design to that produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, was located at the front end of the fuselage, while an escape pod and a blaster cannon was mounted on a turret at the other end. The interior of the ship was quite spartan, with limited living space and no-frills appointments. Despite the limited success of the Starlight freighter, it was the last design produced by the efforts of Rendili and the Surronians. (SS)

Starlight Intruder
Salla Zend's transport ship, the Starlight Intruder was a modified Mobquet medium cargo hauler. She and Shug Ninx built it from parts salvaged from their starship garage on Nar Shaddaa. The Intruder was powered by four military-grade Damorian RX7 ion engines and an old Hutt chariot hyperdrive engine. Added maneuverability was gained by adding four jets to the bottom of the hull. The Starlight Intruder was armed with a pair of medium turbolasers mounted on turrets which can be retracted. Four DuR-4 shield generators protect the ship. When Salla took it out on a run, she always made sure Shug got a cut of the profits. She had to abandon it on Byss when she and Shug fled the wrath of the reborn Emperor Palpatine. Unfortunately, the remaining Imperials sold the ship to the Scavs, who removed the good parts and melted the rest down for slag. (DE1, DESB, DE2, EGV)

Starlight Lounge and Hotel
This hotel, which had its own tavern and restaurant, was located on Tolea Biqua, in orbit around the planet Genarius, during the final years of the Old Republic. The building was distinctive for its three-story, circular form, and for the open space that dominated the center of the structure. Six separate bars were located around the main floor, providing patrons with a wide variety of choices for liquid refreshment.

The upper levels contained public gathering areas and private rooms, as well as a dance hall that had an adjustable-gravity floor. There were several holoprojectors situated around the dance floor, which displayed a three-dimensional depiction of the galaxy, through which dancers moved to the music.

The noted slaver Gomalo established a base of operations within the Starlight, after he was released from prison. (JST1)

Starlight Red
This was the name of Celia Durasha's personal starship, used during the time she went by the alias of Mistress Crimson. It was armed with a quad laser cannon on the ventral gunmount. (SWJ5)

Starlight Red
This was the name given to the jury-rigged YT-1300 starship Faceted, after Kaj Nedmak took possession of the ship. It was named in honor of Celia Durasha, and served to replace the Tryan Kajme which was destroyed on Ord Mantell. (SWJ14)

Starlight Shifter
This modified smuggling ship was owned by Mil Stanner. (SPG)

Starlight Theater
This amphitheater was located on Phyrstal Island, on the planet Abregado-Rae. (ND)

Starlight Yards
This starship construction facility was located on the planet Dac, formerly known as Calamari, during the years following the Sith-Imperial War. The shipyards, which were affiliated with the Mon Calamari Shipyards, were owned by Ure'monbarak during this time. Because the Starlight Yards were a small operation, compared to the massive orbital shpiyards, Ure'monbarak was forced to subcontract out work to other individuals. One of his primary suppliers was "Bantha" Rawk, who custom-built drive systems. (SWLL)

Starlin Warrior
One of several ships sent by the New Republic to accompany Garm Bel Iblis, Booster Terrik, and the Errant Venture to Yaga Minor, in an attempt to steal a copy of the Caamas Document. (VOF)

Starline Cable
This 5-millimeter thick cable was incredibly strong, and was manufactured from synthetic, molecularly-linked fibers. (TA)

Starliner Street
A street in the city of Coronet which runs perpendicular to Volbrick. Han Solo agrees to meet Belindi Kalenda at the corner of the two streets, just after Thrackan Sal-Solo begins his intra-species war on Corellia. (AC)

StarLiners
This was one of the largest passenger lines of Brak Sector, at the height of the New Order. It was owned and operated by Fae Kalena at that time. (FBS)

Starlite Cloud
This Core Star Lines passenger ship regularly made runs between the worlds of the Core. Platt Okeefe booked passage on this ship when she left her homeworld of Brentaal to become a starship pilot. (SESB, PSG)

Starlite Flats
This area of flat sand was located between the Mos Espa Arena and the Waldo Flats, on the planet Tatooine. Podracers who participated in the Boonta Eve Classic entered the Starlite Flats after leaving the Mos Espa Grand Arena. (IWE1, SWI100)

Starloft
One of the four continents discovered on Yavin 4 by Lile Gorsek and the Fernandin Scouting Operation. (GG2)

Starlyte, Talandro
This noted fence and black marketeer was most famous for renting the Gateway Space Station from the Empire. Although he made sure that everyone knew his role in creating the outpost - which he renamed Starlyte Station - he was partly at the mercy of the Imperial liaison officer, Arissa Fawn. In order to gain a measure of freedom, Starlyte funneled part of his profits into bribes for Lieutenant Fawn, ensuring a form of cooperation between them. Among the criminal element of the Outer Rim, Starlyte was known as a fence and con artist, and many believed he also dealt in slaves. He claimed to be a native of Coruscant, and showed a great disdain for Corellians. He spent some time working on Cloud City, where he met Scizzic, and was rumored to have done business with Lando Calrissian. (WSV)

Starlyte Station
This was the name used by Talandro Starlyte for the trading post he created from the old Gateway Space Station. The name was slow to catch on, gaining favor initially with Starlyte's associates. Compared to its days as a military facility, Starlyte Station had deteriorated over the years to a mere shadow of its former appearance. Only essential systems and facilities received any kind of maintenance, and non-essential areas were neglected for months at a time. Much of the original outer plating had been removed for reuse in other parts of the station, giving Starlyte Station a skeletal appearance. The station was armed with five turret-mounted turbolaser batteries. (WSV)

Starmaster
This bulk freighter was stationed in geosynchronous orbit above Ryloth, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Rol'Waran and his people used the ship as a base for their spice operations. (JE)

Starmine
This man was a member of the Cularin Militia during the height of the Clone Wars. Starmine held the rank of Major, and proved instrumental in the defeat of a vicious combat droid that was dispatched to the Cularin System to destroy the Almas Academy. (LFCW)

Starmite-class Freighter
Developed by SoroSuub, this small freighter resembled an unstreamlined teardrop. About 20 meters in length, the Starmite-class had a rounded nose, stubby wings, and a thick body that narrowed into a flattened tail section. (THG)

Starpath
A Seinar Fleet Systems astronavigational system used on many later-model Star Destroyers. (IJ)

Starpoint
Located on the Mee'r continent of Draenell's Point, this was the planet's only civilian spaceport. (GMK)

Starpoint
This New Republic fleet carrier was the flagship of Commodore Poqua's Task Force Gemstone, during the blockade of the Koornacht Cluster during the Black Fleet Crisis. (TT)

Starport Complex Q-7
Located on Nar Hekka, this starport was independently owned by controlled by Tagta the Hutt during the early years of the New Order. (THG)

Starport Street
This was one of the two primary thoroughfares found in the city of Grig. Like most other streets in the city, it was a densely-traveled street on which the locals pay no heed to the laws of traffic, order, or gravity. It had been said that travelling on Starport Streets was harder than flying backwards through as asteroid field. (TA)

Starport Touchdown
This was the main spaceport on Atraken before the Clone Wars devastated the planet. It had be abandoned, and was empty at present. (PG2)

Starpyre, Tann
This aging Imperial served on the Imperial Interim Ruling Council. He was worried about the possibility of Whiphid assassins haunting the Council, in the aftermath of Xandel Carivus' execution of Ch'unkk. (CE2, HCE)

StarRunner
This starship type was developed on Corellia during the height of the New Order. It had only reached the prototype stage when the Battle of Yavin occurred. (OWS)

Starry
This word was commonly used among criminals to describe something that was good or acceptable. (DSTR)

Starry Ice
One of Talon Kaarde's ships, the Starry Ice was stationed on Myrkr when Grand Admiral Thrawn attacked the smuggler's base there, some five years after the Battle of Endor. The Starry Ice was a modified Action V transport which was armed with three turbolasers. Capable of carrying up to six passengers and 75,000 metric tons of cargo, the ship was crewed by a pilot, a navigator, and three gunners. (HTTE, GMR4)

Stars and Moons
This valuable piece of flatsculpt artwork was swindled from Imperial Moff Ammar by the Sullustan Cunbus Locb. Locb then hid the artwork in a secret compartment aboard his starship, the Distant Wind. Ammar had Locb hunted down and killed, but could not find the Stars and Moons anywhere aboard the ship. In a twist of fate, Ammar put the ship up for auction to recoup the cost of his hunt for Locb, unaware that the flatscuplt still inside. (SS)

Star's Delight
Lai Nootka's Gymsnor-3 freighter, it was captured on Garqi by Prefect Mosh Barris. He hoped to use the contents of the freighter - proton torpedoes and spare X-Wing parts - to lure the local resistance out of hiding. The ship and her cargo were liberated from within Barris' command by Eamon Yzalli, who was better known as Corran Horn, in a daring plan that used Dynba Tesc to pose as Kirtana Loor. (KT, TFE, SWJ7)

Stars' End
This was the Corporate Sector Authority's penal colony, developed and operated during the height of the New Order. Located on Mytus VII, at the edge of Authority space in the Tingel Arm, the facility was comprised of a number of protective domes dotting the planetoid's surface, which were connected by tubes and covered walkways rather than tunnels. The domes had various functions, including living quarters, barracks, and weapons emplacements for the staff that worked there. At the center of the complex was a forty-meter-tall tower that housed the colony's offices.

This tower was made from a single piece of molecularly-bonded armor. The entire facility was powered a capital-ship-class generator buried beneath the surface. This generator produced enough energy to power the shielding systems that protected the entire tower and the surrounding facility. It also supplied energy to an anticoncussion field that protected the tower from impacts. Six QuasarFire turbolaser turrets and a v-180 Planet Defender ion cannon served as the facility's primary defenses, each of which was powered by its own dedicated generator. Despite the cost involved in these design points, they made the tower exceptionally durable and all but impenetrable to outside forces. A dome at the top of the tower gave the workers inside a spectacular view of the stars.

Hidden within this tower was the facility in which the Authority could incarcerate up to 24,000 dissidents and rebels in suspended animation, reducing the operating costs associated with housing the prisoners while ensuring that there were no riots or uprisings. Administrative offices lined the lower levels of the visible portion of the tower, while the subterranean levels provided space for the facility's power generators and other infrastructure systems.

The project to construct the Stars' End facility was led by Viceprex Hirken, who took control of the project as his own. When Han Solo infiltrated the facility to rescue Chewbacca and the other prisoners during the early years of the New Order, he had Blue Max install an overload spiral in its secondary defense program, as a hedge against anything that might go wrong during the rescue attempt. When Viceprex Hirken discovered them and tried to detain them, Han was able to disable Hirken's belt control, but that caused the station's power to be rerouted, which intensified the overload spiral.

This led to a massive explosion which, when contained by the station's defensive shields and its single-piece construction, was directed downward and into the planet, launching the facility's central tower into a parabolic flight path. With the help of Atuarre and Pakka, Han was able to rescue the prisoners and get them away from the tower. The tower, now essentially a rocket, lacked sufficient velocity to escape the planetoid's gravitiational field, and returned to crash into the ground. The entire tower was destroyed, along with much of the colony. Hirken was murdered in the tower by his wife, and the Security Police that were in the tower died on impact.

The initial disaster, coupled with the resulting secondary explosions when the tower crashed back to earth, left Stars' End a worthless outpost that was abandoned by the Corporate Sector Authority. (HSE, CSA, OWS)

Star's Nova
This mercenary army was founded by Qell Tepine, and worked exclusively for the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. The members of Star's Nova were made up of former soldiers of the Imperial Special Missions team and the Alliance's Special Forces organization. Thus, many of their tactics often follow standard military procedures, although the skill level of the team was high enough that one could not simply assume their next actions. After the Battle of Endor, though, the services of Star's Nova were available to the highest bidder. The Star's Nova base was located on the planet Sondarr, which housed the more than 100 members of the organization. (WBC)

Stars of Elrood
Shondra Del traveled throughout the Elrood Sector in this ship, posing as an independent freighter Captain. (OE)

StarSaber
This was the more common name of the Tra'kad-class transport vessel. The term tra'kad literally meant "star saber" when translated into Basic, giving rise to this alternate name. (LF8)

Starscream-9
This Seinar Fleet Systems ion drive was a military-grade propulsion system originally designed for use on starfighters. This drive was at the leading edge of technology following the Battle of Yavin, and despite its military designation and exhorbitant price, some managed to make their way to the black market. (GG6)

Starseeker
This was the name of Coros Telari's freighter, used while on missions for House Pelagia. He landed it on Lamuir IV, while trying to deliver a datafile stolen from House Mecetti, but was attacked by Mecetti thugs. Luckily, Janna Pallask was able to misdirect a group of Alliance agents to Telari's aid, and she was abel to recover the file. (TSIA)

Star-seventeen Dance
This was an annual dance held for the maturing teenagers of the planet Tatooine. It was held in the Anchorhead settlement's community center, and was open to seventeen-year-olds from all surrounding commnuities and moisture farms. (LSSM)

Starshine Special
This was a special additive developed for use in alcoholic drinks during the last years of the Old Republic. Because of its highly-secret formula and expensive cost, starshine special was only available to those beings who knew the coded gesture used to ask for it. (VD2)

Starshine Surprise
This mixed, alcoholic beverage was supposedly named for the first thing most beings noticed after drinking one: a starfield whirling in front of your eyes as you hit the ground. Because it was exceptionally potent, the Starshine Surprise was rarely served to humans and most near-human races. (GG9, TME, SWG2P, OWS)

Starship
Any craft designed to operate in the vacuum of interstellar space. There were five major classes of starship, based on size and mission. Capital Ship were large, heavily-armed ships which serve as command bases during military exercises. The Imperial-I class Star Destroyer and the Mon Calamari MC80a cruiser were two examples. Most capital ships were named for virtues. Close Support Ship were large, maneuverable ships whose weaponry allows them to protect the capital ships and perform other military operations. The Nebulon-B Frigate was one example. Transport/Supply Ship were ships of various sizes, built around speed and capacity, which were used to transport large amounts of material. The Corellian CR90 Corvette was one example. Most transport ships were named for beasts of burden or rivers. Starfighters were small, highly maneuverable ships which were the front-line defense attackers. They were built around one or two pilots, and were well-armed for their size. The TIE Fighter and the X-Wing were two examples. Support Ships included any ship which had limited military capability, this class includes space tugs, fuel ships, and container pods. (E4, SWSB, XW, WG)

Starship Yards of Fondor
This was the name of the massive orbital shipyard that was constructed in orbit over the planet Fondor. The shipyards were under Imperial control throughout the era of the New Order, and the Super Star Destroyer Executor was contructed there. (RFDV)

Starsprite
This Hapan Beta Cruiser was once part of the Consortium Navy. However, in the wake of the Battle of Fondor, the crew of the ship deserted the Navy and joined the Peace Brigade. It was the crew of the Starsprite which managed to capture Tenel Ka, shortly after the Battle of Coruscant, before the one-armed Jedi Knight could reach Hapes and find refuge with her grandmother, Ta'a Chume. The crew planned to return Tenel Ka to Hapes, in return for information on the whereabouts of Jaina Solo. Tenel Ka refused, and had to fight her way through vibro-blade-wielding pirates to win her freedom. Her attempt was aided when the Jedi aboard the Trickster intercepted the Starsprite and boarded it. The Yuuzhan Vong frigate became organically welded to the Starsprite, forming an unusual amalgam which was flown to Hapes under the escort of Jagged Fel and Shawnkyr Nuruodo. (DJ)

Starstone, Olee
This Jedi Padawan and her Master, Bol Chatak, were dispatched to lead the fighting on Murkhana during the final stages of the Clone Wars. Prior to her training under Chatak and, before her, Jocasta Nu, Starstone had trained under Jocasta Nu in the Jedi Archives, and was something of an expert on the history of the Sith. She was assigned to Bol Chatak when she requested the opportunity to do fieldwork. Chatak didn't accept her as a Padawan until well into the Clone Wars, and then only because of the necessities of the war. When the fighting broke out on Murkhana, Starstone had been left behind on Coruscant to continue her training. However, as the situation on Murkhana escalated, Starstone was ordered to accompany Jedi Master Saras Loorne to augment the forces of Master Chatak. Starstone proved to be an asset on the battlefield, holding her own with a lightsaber while displaying remarkable courage. When the communication to execute Order 66 was received by Climber, however, the clone refused to obey the order, as his loyalty was to the Jedi. Starstone was unable to comprehend what was happening, especially when she was forced to acknowledge that Master Loorne and the other Jedi working with him had been killed. She began to ramble, talking nonsense about the possiblity of a galaxy-wide clone trooper revolt or treachery on the part of the Kaminoans, in an effort to avoid the obvious. When Bol Chatak was cut down in combat with Darth Vader, Starstone longed to act against the Dark Lord, but she was counseled by Roan Shryne to keep a low profile and escape further trouble. They escaped in to Murkhana City, to avoid being captured with a larger group of prisoners, and received assistance from Cash Garrulan in escaping Murkhana altogether. Aboard the Drunk Dancer, they rescued Siadem Forte and a small group of Jedi near the planet Mossak. This small success gave Starstone the idea of establishing a link to the Jedi Archives, then downloading information on the whereabouts of any Jedi who might have survived Order 66. The search led provided Starstone with a partial list of possible survivors, but it also alerted Armand Isard to their existence. On Jaguada's moon, Starstone tried to boost the signal to get more information from the Jedi Archives by jump-starting the power generators in the ancient communication facility. This led to the reactivation of the entire complex on Jaguada's moon, including the hordes of Separatist battle droids that had once protected it. After the group escaped Jaguada, Starstone became angry with Shryne when he refused to take up the task of locating any surviving Jedi. Instead, he decided to remain with the crew of the Drunk Dancer, leaving Starstone to make her own decision. She chose to take the SX troop transport that had carried Forte and his fellow Jedi and set off in search of more Jedi, accepting the companionship and assistance of Forte and several others. Aboard the Vagabond Trader, Starstone found herself assuming the role of leader to the group, despite the fact that both Forte and Iwo Kulka were ranking Jedi Knights. She took them to Kashyyyk, where Starstone hoped to learn more about the fates of Yoda, Quinlan Vos, and Luminara Unduli. Unfortunately, she found herself confronting Darth Vader once again, after Vader killed or injured her companions. She was saved by the sudden appearance of Roan Shryne, who stepped between Starstone and Vader, allowing the Padawan to get the wounded back to the Drunk Dancer. She heeded his command, and managed to escape the planet. This didn't stop her from grieving about Shryne's death, though she realized that he had become a Jedi once again before he died. After escaping from Kashyyyk, Starstone chose to remain with the crew of the Drunk Dancer for awhile, to begin looking for dishomed Wookiees as well as any surviving Jedi. (SWI83, RDV, SWDB)

Starstorm One
Exar Kun's starship. It was a unique ship, with a curved main wing on the left, counterbalanced by three main engines and a long command spar on the right. It was destroyed on Yavin 4, when Kun went in search of the Sith lore, by the Massassi who captured him. (DLS)

Starswan

Starswarm Cluster
This interstellar phenomenon had been known to damage starship drives and other subsystems. Located near Cinnagar, the cluster was a vast group of stars situated very near each other. (GAS)

Starter
This man was a companion of Platt Okeefe and Dirk Harkness, who claimed to have been a friend of Luke Skywalker and Biggs Darklighter on Tatooine before learning how to be a smuggler from Han Solo himself. In reality, Starter was the son of an Imperial Admiral, who had been expelled from the Imperial Academy on Corulag for being undisciplined and obnoxious. He then joined the Alliance as a starfighter pilot. He tried to reach the Alliance base on Renforra during the Galactic Civil War, hoping to sell information stolen from Jabba the Hutt to the Alliance team there. He was stranded on Cloud City when a team of bounty hunters tried to recover the information. He claimed to have single-handedly killed Beylyssa, Boddu Bocck, 4-LOM, Zuckuss, IG-88 and Dengar in order to escape capture. He then claimed to have avoided being captured by Boba Fett in order to reach Renforra. During the trip, Starter's tale continued to evolve, as he was forced to battle Darth Vader himself, and only managed to escape by stealing the shuttle Tydirium and flying away. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Starter became an unofficial member of the Black Curs, helping them with many missions. (SWJ1, SWJ4)

Startide
This Mon Calamari MC90 cruiser was being built for the New Republic just prior to the second Battle of Calamari, some seven years after the Battle of Endor. Admiral Ackbar was forced to use the half-built ship and its attached spacedock to ram the Manticore and destroy it, after recognizing that Admiral Daala had kept the Star Destroyer hidden behind Calamari's moon. (DA)

Startled Circuit
This freighter was owned by Vareth and Garron. They purchased it with the money Garron obtained from an insurance claim following the death of his parents. (GG7)

Star-Tour 7
A Lambda-class shuttle ferried civilian passengers during the Galactic Civil War. This was a reference to the passenger shuttle depicted in the StarTours flight simulator rides at DisneyLand and Disney World. (TIE)

StarTower Residences
This was a residential building located near the Alliance's safehouse at 16AA889 Starfield Road. (HAS)

StarTrain
This was the name of a huge transport vessel that was designed and manufactured during the height of the New Order. The StarTrain was an immense ship, capable of transporting up to 300 Lambdaclass shuttles at one time. In fact, one of these transports was abandoned just following the Battle of Endor, with its full cargo of Lambda-class shuttles still intact in its holds. These shuttles were later auctioned off for use as tourist vessels, carrying small groups of beings on short trips to exotic locations. (GPB)

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

Startron, Kevas
Once a native of Contruum, Kevas was a renowned smuggler during the last years of the Old Republic. As the Empire rose to power, his health began to fail. He took an apprentice, the young woman known as Sapphire, and hoped to end his career with one last run. However, he was physically unable to complete the run in his starship, the New Cov Quasar. Sapphire agreed to help him out, and finished the run successfully. However, she kept her part in the run a secret, giving all the credit to Kevas. He was able to retire, and gave his starship to Sapphire for her part in the run. (CRO)

StarUrchin

Star-urchin
This creature was native to the oceans of the planet Calamari. (SBS)

Starveil
This Alliance cruiser was assigned to a number hit-and-fade operations in Wild Space, during the last years of the New Order. (TTSB)

StarViper Assault Fighter
This was another name used to describe the StarViper-class Attack Platform. (NEGV, SSOG)

StarViper-class Attack Platform
This was the name given to the class of starfighters designed by MandalMotors, at the request of Prince Xizor, during the height of the New Order. Xizor contracted MandalMotors to create for him a unique starship, as nothing stock or commonplace would do. Xizor wanted a personal transport vessel that would protect him at every turn, and cost was no option. MandalMotors engineers took his directions and came up with the StarViper-class attack platform, a kind of mobile platform ship that was powerful, maneuverable, and durable.

The basic hull of the StarViper was rectangular and squat, with four maneuvering vanes that extended from each front corner. The vanes added incredible handling during combat, but could actually hinder atmospheric flight due to their configuration. When deployed, the vanes gave the ship the appearance of an anrgy raptor or avian predator. The vanes were able to move independently, and were controlled by an artificial brain that monitored ships systems and constantly adjusted their configuration for optimum performance, making the StarViper appear to be alive as it maneuvered through space. Each vane was equipped with a pair of microthrusters that helped with maneuverability.

The ship was armed with a pair of forward-firing double-laser cannons and two proton torpedo launchers. The interior of the StarViper had limited cargo space, and was designed to accommodate the addition of power converters and other supplemental systems for Xizor's personal ship, the Virago. After Xizor's death at Coruscant, just before the Battle of Endor, MandalMotors regained all rights to the StarViper's designs, and began producing less-powerful versions for civilian use. MandalMotors began equipping Starviper fighters with discord missiles, which could release updated versions of buzz droids during space combat. (EGV, NEGV, LAWS, SSOG)

Starvision
This was the designation of the night-sighting equipment used on the EWHB-10 and E-Web repeating blasters. (ISB, EGW)

Star-Wake
This Envoy-class shuttle was part of the naval fleet that was amassed by the Jedi Order during the era of the New Sith Wars, prior to the Battle of Ruusan. The ship had been donated to the Jedi by an anonymous Coruscant-based benefactor, in response to Valenthyne Farfalla's urgent plea for support in the war against the Sith. The Star-Wake was stationed aboard Farfalla's flagship, the Fairwind, and was used in the rescue operations that followed the Battle of Ruusan. The shuttle was later used in the recovery missions that were sent back to Ruusan to search for survivors. The shuttle was piloted by the soldier named Irtanna, who eventually rescued a young girl named Rain from the planet's surface.

Once aboard the shuttle, Rain asked to be taken to her family on Onderon. When she didn't get an immediate response from Irtanna, Rain retreated to the cargo hold, ostensibly to eat something. Instead, she found a blaster in a cargo crate and proceeded to shoot everyone onboard. Before she killed Irtanna, Rain - who now called herself Zannah - demanded that she lay in a course for Onderon. Thus, the ship's autonav took over the journey to Onderon, allowing Zannah to meditate on her next course of action.

After arriving at Onderon, Zannah had the autonav land the shuttle in a remote landing field, where she was beset by members of the Skelda clan. Only the timely intervention of Darth Bane saved her, and the pair then took the shuttle and left Onderon behind. They abandoned the shuttle in the Japrael Sector after stripping it of valuables, making it appear as if the shuttle had been shipjacked. The Star-Wake was later discovered and returned to the Jedi Order. (DBRT)

Starway 1
This Alliance transport ship was part of a group that was destroyed by Imperial forces in the Bruanii Sector, shortly after the Battle of Hoth, during the ambush that led to the destruction of the light cruiser Lulsla. (TIE, TIEP)

Starway 2
This Alliance transport ship was part of a group that was destroyed by Imperial forces in the Bruanii Sector, shortly after the Battle of Hoth, during the ambush that led to the destruction of the light cruiser Lulsla. (TIE, TIEP)

Starway Services
Located at Taldaak Station on Utharis, this was a starship berthing and repair center. Luke Skywalker and Akanah nearly berthed the Mud Sloth here during their search for the Fallanassi, but the owner tried to swindle them. (TT)

Starwayman
This was the name of the starship used by Booster Terrik and Llollulion, while they were plying the spacelanes as independent pilots. It was a small ship, armed with just a triple laser cannon. Booster had stolen the ship and was on the run from a crimelord when he found his way to Borlov and befriended Llollulion. (SWJ7)

Starweb
This small, disk-shaped freighter was used by Asyr Sei'lar, after she resigned her commission with the New Republic following her "death" at Corvis Minor Five. She returned to the planet Bothawui under a new identity, hoping to bring about societal changes in Bothan culture. The Starweb was loaned to her by Booster Terrik, and she left the ship at Commenor for him to retrieve. (IR)

Starweird
This unusual creature was only encountered in the deepest regions of space, and xenobiologists were at a loss as to its exact ecological classification. Its existence seemed to serve no purpose to the galaxy at large, yet they existed nonetheless. These creatures appear to spacers whose starships were damaged, and seemed to materialized out of space and enter damaged ships through hull breaches. A starweird resembled a tall, skeletal humanoid being that was dressed in gauzy scraps of cloth, although it was non-corporeal and appeared to lack any substance. The head and face of a starweird appeared dessicated, with the mouth being full of sharp teeth. The hands were formed from three heavily-clawed fingers, and the eyes seemed to glow. Investigations into starweird attacks revealed that individual starweirds seemed to chose a victim before attacking, then only attacked that individual. Nothing was ever found to link a victim to an attack, and no pattern could be discerned. When the starweird attacked, it emitted a telepathic scream to immobilize its victim, which it then attacked with vicious slashes of its claws, which somehow assumed physicality. Scientists speculated that the starweird fed on its victim's life energies. Many Jedi scholars theorized that starweirds were manifestations of the Dark Side of the Force, since their attacks were often directed at Force-sensitive individuals. (UA)

Starwind
Gil Bastra's starship, it was intercepted by the Expeditious. (XWN)

Starwind Chandlery
This general store and ship outfitter was located on StarForge Station. It provided the basic supplies a small starship would need for space travel. It was run by Labio, along with Wurrooba and Mioe. (FOP)

Starwind-class Pleasure Yacht
This 50-meter-long personal pleasure starship was built by Kuat Drive Yards. The Starwind-class ship borrowed design cues from the Corellian Engineering Corporation's YT series, as it was originally designed to compete directly with those ships. Later, the Starwind-class was modified to challenge the Crescent-class luxury cruisers. The ship resembled a flatten ovoid, with a pair of curving arms embracing the central fuselage. It was manned by a crew of 5, with two gunners, and could transport up to ten passengers. It was unarmed in its basic configuration, but could be armed with a pair of quad laser cannons, and had a fairly sophisticated shielding combination. The Starwind-class ship's most unique feature was its escape pod, which could be jettisoned while still in hyperspace. The pod would immediately revert back to realspace. Once in realspace, or if released in realspace to begin with, the pod could execute a series of random hyperspace jumps which would bring the pod to the nearest well-traveled route. (LCSB, SS)

Starwing
Codename of the Cygnus Spaceworks Xg-1 assault gunboat. (XW)

Star-World
According to Krizlaw legend, this blue-green sphere appeared in the space above Munlali Mafir and remained in place for three local months before disappearing. This legend was discovered by Doctor Soron Hegerty during her research into the existence of Zonama Sekot. Investigation by Doctor Hegerty and Luke Skywalker revealed more information. According to modern Krizlaws, the Star-World stayed for a short time, but its appearance and presence in the sky caused widespread seismic activity to occur on Munlali Mafir. Much of the planet's population at the time was killed in the volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, although the legend fails to say whether the natives were Krizlaw or Jostran. Thus, the Star-World became a harbinger of death and destruction to the Krizlaws. (FH2)

Starypan/SunHui Spaceworks
This was a small starship manufacturer, active during the New Order. (XWA)

Stashbox
This was a generic term used to describe any small container that was used to store personal items during transport. (DSTR)

Stasheff, Raan
This stern, handsome man served as one of Sayer Mon Neela's personal guards during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Raan was the latest in a long line of security and espionage experts: his grandfather had served with the Corellian Security Force, and his father had been an Alliance agent during the era of the Battle of Yavin. He hoped that his own actions would live up to his forefathers' lofty standards. Raan's dedication to Madame Neela was tested when they were captured by Captain Sergus Lanox and held aboard the Imperial Hazard. During their escape, Raan threw himself in front of a blaster shot meant for Madame Neela, and nearly died in her arms. Madame Neela dragged him aboard the Starcrossed and got him to the Alliance base on Carosi XII, where he eventually recovered from his injuries. (SWJ10)

Stasis Booth
This was the generic term used to describe any device that allowed living contents to be placed in suspended animation until revived. These devices were often used in penal colonies or detention areas to keep prisoners in stasis until they could be tried, or until their term was up. The Stars' End facility was the first large-scale operation to use stasis booths, where they were used by the Corporate Sector Authority to silence its enemies, as well as to preserve viable sources of labor. The technology used in the stasis booth was developed about 100 years before the advent of the New Order, but was put to prison use at the recommendation of the Authority's Detention Taskforce. Also called a stasis box, these devices found wide-spread use after the Battle of Endor, when the New Republic began reaching out to reclaim planets that had suffered from chemical or biological damage at the hands of the Empire. Survivors were transported to medical facilities in stasis booths that were certified for full-spectrum biological security. (HSE, CSA, POT)

Stasis Casket
This was a simple term used to describe Lord Dreypa's Oubliette. (DTV)

Stasis Probe
This form of deep-space information-gathering probe was dispatched to its probe sites through hyperspace. Undetectable while in hyperspace, stasis probes drop back into realspace only long enough to gather sensor data, relay it to its control location, and receive its next instructions. Passive sensors were used to minimize the ability of conventional sensors to pick it up, and the probe stays in realspace for less than thirty seconds at a time. The New Republic used stasis probes extensively during the Black Fleet Crisis, gathering data on the Yevetha throughout the Koornacht Cluster. (TT)

Stasis-field generator
This piece of equipment created a stasis field, in which an object or being could contained with minimal effort. Large generators were used to store cargos on starships, or to contain prisoners during transport to prison. Smaller versions of stasis-field generators could be used to contain liquids for later drinking or washing. (JS, DSTR)

Stassia
This Core world had been described as "the most boring, stagnant world in the Core." The planet's surface was covered with flat, endless plains, which have been used since the early days of the Old Republic as farmland. The inhabitants of Stassia were passive, and offered no resistance to the encroachment of the Empire. In fact, they took the change of galactic politics as just another day's happenings. They became a model New Order world. The average day on Stassia lasted 22 standard hours, and its years last 340 local days. (SWJ6)

Stassia City
This was the capital city of the planet Stassia, and was famous for its swoop races and ringer tournaments. (SWJ6)

This was a generic term used to describe any monitoring and display system that provided readouts and data on the status of a running system. (SWI87)

Statermast, H'nib
This aging Flivian was an independent spacer who traded in his starship for enough credits to purchase the Farrimmer Café with his partner, Grosteek, hoping to settle down and live out the rest of his life in peace. (SWJ11)

Stath
This common Zabrak surname meant "navigator". (GCG)

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

Static Hyperspace Bubble Generator
A device, developed by the Bakurans, the SHBG surrounded a ship in realspace with a hyperspace bubble. This bubble doesn't provide any thrust, so the ship cannot move at hyper-speeds. (AS)

Static Ion Field Discharger
This outdated weapon was an early form of ion cannon. Instead of emitting a coherence burst of ion energy, the field discharger spouted a blanket of energy at its target. (KO)

Static Pike
This was the generic term used to describe any non-powered spear or pointed staff used in melee combat. This weapon was originally developed by the Geonosians, for use by their picadors to control their rmounts and the various creatures they used in their gladiator arenas. The basic shape and size was derived from a traditional spear. The static pike was similar in design to a force pike or electropole, although it was given a sharpened tip that could pierce flesh. (GORW, NEGW)

Station 3
This refueling outpost was located between Terman Station and Sriluur, along the Sisar Run. It was destroyed in the gang wars between the Disac and Ghilron pirate groups, and was left as a "mynock-infested wasteland." (SSR)

Station 88 Spaceport
This space station, jointly developed by the worlds of Junction 5, Delaluna, Bezim, and Vicondor, served as a major nexus to the Mid Rim, during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis and the onset of the Clone Wars. It was coveted by the Separatist forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, since the station provided access to the Mid Rim. Whichever side controlled the station would cut off a large portion of the galaxy from the enemy. Lorian Nod, who had always shown a hatred for the Jedi Knights, showed up at the Jedi Temple just after the Battle of Geonosis and offered to help ensure that Station 88 Spaceport would remain an asset of the Republic. Despite the efforts of Count Dooku to persuade the founders, first using negotiation and then force, the founders chose to remain loyal to the Republic. (LOJ)

Stationer, The
This was the man who controlled Silver Station, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ6)

Station-Star 1
This space station once connected the Tatoo System to several hyperspace travel routes. However, during the early years of the New Order, the station was destroyed when Jabba the Hutt and Lady Valarian started their war for control of Tatooine's spacelanes. (SWG2P)

Statu, Nlek
One of Bogga the Hutt's alien henchmen. (TOJ)

Statuary Park
Located on the grounds of the Bakur Complex, in Salis D'aar on Bakura, this vast area of land was filled with statues depicting people and events from Bakura's history. Mingled with the statues were namans trees and well-manicured shrubbery, giving the park an unusually remote feeling depsite its location in the center of the city. It was circular in shape, and covered roughly the same surface area as the Bakur Memorial Building. (TB, TBSB)

Statute 312b
This was the fourth major amendment ratified by the Old Republic Senate during the Clone Wars, providing planets in the Core Worlds and Inner Rim Territories with greater voting power in the Senate over outlying planets. (SWI71)

Stava
Named for the Honoghran predator, this was a form of martial arts developed by the Noghri. Unlike other forms of martial arts that emphasized defensive positions that allowed a combatant to size up their opponent, the stava style of combat brought fighters into close contact. It employed full-body throws and tackles, coupled with powerful jabs and snap-kicks, and was considered one of the most dangerous of all martial arts. (GMR5, HG)

Stava
A carnivorous creature native to Honoghr, they were tenacious hunters that could become wild-tempered scavengers in famine times. (DFR)

Staven
This man was once a member of the Red Star Ring, working out of Nar Shaddaa during the height of the New Order. (GUN)

Stavro
This was the codename of a squadron of Razor fighters which were assigned to protect the Viraxo base at Denbo. (XWA)

Stavveld, Irnst
This retired Imperial Admiral was brought out of retirement to serve as the Moff of Ado Sector shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Among this priority directives was the location and shutdown of StarForge Station. (FOP)

Stazi, Gar
This male Duros served the Galactic Alliance as an Admiral in the Navy, during the era of the Sith-Imperial War. He remained at his post after the fall of the Galactic Alliance at the Battle of Caamas, from which he orchestrated a fighting retreat that became the stuff of legend. After refusing to surrender, and holding the Galactic Alliance Navy together for seven years, Admiral Stazi was chosen to represent the Alliance at a treaty negotiation aboard The Wheel. Admiral Stazi met with Captain Mingo Bovark, following a request from Imperial Emperor Roan Fel, who wished to extend an offer to join forces against Darth Krayt and the Sith.

Stazi questioned the alliance, wondering at first how Fel could invite the Sith into the war in the first place. When Bovark explained that Fel had been manipulated by the Sith and their allies, Morlish Veed and Nyna Calixte, Stazi's concern about an alliance only heightened. Stazi questioned how, if Fel couldn't handle his own subordinates, could he manage to work with the Galactic Alliance. Stazi walked was about to walk out of the negotiations when Bovark explained that Fell had captured Bastion, thereby controlling a huge portion of the Imperial war machine. This changed Stazi's mind, since the Imperial fleet would greatly augment his own forces.

The negotiations might have led to a real alliance, had not Morrigan Corde and Jor Torlin sabotaged them. The two secret agents using C.O.L.D. technology to override the weapons systems on the shuttles of both Stazi and Bovark, firing on the other starship and setting off a chain reaction of events. Stazi attacked Bovark, and managed to score a slight hit before Bovark was rescued by Antares Draco and Ganner Krieg. The negotiations were called off, and Stazi returned to the Galactic Alliance without a treaty. Rather than sit back and wait for another chance to find peace, Stazi initiated a series of hit-and-run attacks on Imperial outposts, stealing ships and supplies wherever possible while inflicting damage to Imperial and Sith vessels. These tactics proved exceptionally effective, and many Imperial officers were demoted or executed for not capturing Stazi and his forces. This might have changed when Admiral Valan took over as the commander of the Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer Relentless, for it was Valan who put a plan in motion to lure Stazi into attempting to capture the Imperious.

Although the huge ship seemed ripe for the picking, Stazi worried that any Galactic Alliance attempt to take it would result in a debacle like the Battle of Caamas. The plan also involved the possible sacrifice of one of his old friends, Gial Gahan, who would provide Stazi's forces with access to the Mon Calamari shipyards. However, Stazi could see no other way to improve the Galactic Alliance's situation, and set out to minimize any possible losses. He also planned to take Gahan's role in the mission, to save his friend and ensure that the Imperious was taken as swiftly as possible. Gahan refused, citing the fact that no being but a Mon Calamari could infiltrate the shipyards. Stazi backed down, and set about planning the mission with Jaius Yorub. Stazi knew that his old nemesis, Admiral Dru Valan, was in command of the Imperial forces defending Calamari, and used his knowledge of Valan's tactics to devise a plan that countered every Imperial move.

At Calamari, Alliance forces were able to take control of the Imperious and escape with it. Admiral Stazi ensured their escape by moving his own ships within the orbiting ring of the shipyards, using the Indomitable to block Imperial weaponry. Valan's own pride helped to further ensure the Alliance's successful theft, since he allowed the Imperious to escape while concentrating his fire on the Indomitable, hoping to destroy Stazi once and for all. Stazi had planned to remain with the Indomitable to ensure that his remaining forces escaped, but Jaius Yorub refused to let him die in the fighting. Working with Jhoram Bey, Captain Yorub had Stazi removed from the bridge and taken to safety, while Yorub remained aboard the Indomitable. When he regained consciousness, Admiral Stazi was upset about Yorub's sacrifice, but understood what the Sullustan had done to ensure their success. Stazi promoted Jhoram Bey to replace Yorub, and set out to ready the Imperious for combat.

Stazi was surprised to learn that the ship had been sabotaged prior to its capture, and even more surprised to learn that the sabotage had been carried out by a pair of Imperial Knights. Monia Gahan was rescued by the Knights, Sigel Dare and Treis Sinde, and it was Dare's impassioned words that convinced Stazi to approach Emperor Roan Fel about creating an alliance against the Sith. (SWLT, SWLI, SWLW)

Steadfast
This New Republic fleet hauler - known as a junker - was the first ship to discover the remains of the Star Destroyer Gnisnal. It also served clean-up duty after the Battle of Endor, the seige of Grand Admiral Thrawn, and pursued the Knight Hammer. (BTS)

Steadfast
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer was originally commanded by Grand Admiral Afsheen Makati, during the height of the New Order. Years later, she was captained by Commander Vivant, and was dispatched by Carnor Jax to Phaeda. There, with the help of the Emperor's Revenge, the ships pummeled Collo Fauale, on the planet Phaeda, in an effort to destroy Mirith Sinn's forces and to eliminate Kir Kanos. (CE, OWS)

Steadfast
This was the name of Drake Paulsen's personal ship. A modified Ghtroc Class 720 freighter, the ship was bequesthed to Drake by father, Kaine. The origins of the ship were not clear, although Drake believed it might have been stolen. It was armed with a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons. (SWJ2, SWJ3)

Steady Lady
This fast-hauler was at Coruscant when the Yuuzhan Vong first tried to get a voxyn onto the planet's surface. The 500-meter-long Steady Lady moved into a position to block the Sweet Surprise from gaining access to the planet, volunteering to help Rogue Squadron capture the freighter. (SBS)

Stealth Field
This form of shielding was produced by Imperial engineers for use on the YI-5 surveillance and investigation droid. It monitored the surroundings of the YI-5 droid, and altered its color to match the environment. In this way, the YI-5 was virtually invisible. (PH)

Stealth One
This was the callsign of Luke Skywalker, who was flying one of the many Galactic Alliance reconnaisssance craft that were deployed into the atmopshere of Gilatter Eight, when the GA tried to interrupt a meeting of The Condeferation, during the height of the Corellia-GA War. Like other such ships, Skywalker and the Stealth One was charged with monitoring the incoming starship traffic, allowing the GA's forces to understand who was attending the meeting and what The Confederation's possible firepower would be, should a firefight break out.

The forces of the GA were unaware that The Confederation's appearance in the Gilatter System was little more than a ruse, allowing the combined naval forces of The Confederation to mass without being discovered. It also ensured that a sizable GA force would be sent to Gilatter, where it was trapped by the huge array of Confederation warships. Only Skywalker's connection to the Force allowed the bulk of the GA's forces to avoid the minefield that was laid by The Confederation, when he heard Jacen Solo's mental warning about the trap. (LF4)

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

Stealth-2VS
see Stealth-2VX (NEGW)

Stealth-2VX
This was the designation of Prax Arms' palm-sized dart shooter, similar in shape and function to the Happy Surprise hold-out blaster. It fit around the fingers of the user, and fired its darts from slots located bewteen the fingers. (EGW, AEG)

StealthX
This was one of the many modified versions of the T-65 X-Wing starfighter, first produced by Incom during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The StealthX was built from the basic spaceframe of the XJ3 model, but most similarities ended there. Instead of the familiar white-and-red paint job, the StealthX was coated with a matte black, non-reflective material that made it almost impossible to see with normal sensor systems. The surface of the StealthX was constructed from fiberplast rather than ceramic-metal alloys, and the hull plates were formed from irregular angles, which further served to break up its sensor image by dispersing sensor probes.

Communications systems aboard the StealthX were minimal, as complete comm silence was necessary to maintain their ability to slip inside enemy positions. Thus, those Jedi that flew StealthX fighters into combat zones were forced to communicate through a combat meld. This proved to be a benefit as well as a drawback over time, as it gave the Jedi of a single unit the ability to anticipate each others' actions, but it also meant that some Jedi were unable to fly the StealthX in combat without their squadmates.

Weapons systems on the StealthX were similar in configuration those of a standard X-Wing, although many were outfitted to deploy shadow bombs, and a few were produced with tractor beam generators.

In addition its impressive stealth capabilities, StealthX fighters were designed to operate on special isotopes of Tibanna gas that greatly reduced the ship's emission signature. Thermal dissipators, photon absorbers, and a gravitic modulator worked with a suite of signal-negation systems to further mask the StealthX's presence against sensor sweeps. All this technology came with a price, however, as the power needed for these stealth systems meant that there was less power for shielding.

Because of the sophisticated nature of nearly every onboard system, StealthX fighters were notoriously difficult to maintain, and the tempermental nature of the systems required that ground crews take additional care in completing even routine maintenance. This meant that even simple tasks, such as refueling, took two or three times as long as they would for a "normal" starfighter. (DN1, DN3, LF3, LF5)

StealthX 55
This was the designation of Luke Skywalker's StealthX fighter, during the years following the Swarm War. (LF8)

Steamcrawler
This was the generic name for an steam-powered vehicle which moved about on treads. (SHPT)

Steam-pot
This cooking vessel could be sealed, trapping steam inside and creating pressure that helped cook the contents of the steam-pot faster. A bleeder valve on the lid helped to alleviate excess pressure, preventing the steam-pot from exploding. (CWN)

Stears Data
This small corporation produced a wide range of data access and storage systems, many of which were designed to be installed in droids, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Stears Data's multifunctional media drives were prominently used on the R2-series of astromech droids from Industrial Automaton, providing a simple way to input new starship specifications into a droid's memory banks. (E4VG)

Stec
This was the adopted nickname of one of the ARC Troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic. During the height of the Clone Wars, Stec was one of the few survivors of a failed mission to capture the planet Colla IV. He brought back information on the Scorpenek Annihilator Droid, which had been deployed by the Separatists to defend the facilities of the Colicoid Creation Nest. (NEGD)

Stecker
An Imperial Sergeant suspected of sympathizing with the Alliance. He was sacrificed, along with Captain Ganig, by Commodore Bevven and Colonel Drost, at the insistance of Mar Barezz. (ISB)

Steef
This Gamorrean was loyal to Orman, but was extremely lazy. Although he would gladly work for Orman, he was prone to find the easy way out of a tough fight. (ML)

Steel Fist
This modified YT-1300 freighter was owned by the bounty hunter Kolig and his gang, Qulok's Fist. The ship was armed with a pair of quad laser cannons and a proton torpedo launcher, and its main drive section was removed and replaced with a pair of military-grade engines. The cockpit was mounted at the base of the portside loading mandible, and a rectenna was placed on the starboard side. (DARK)

Steel Hand
This was the name of the personalized starfighter owned by Zan and Zu Pike. (RESB)

Steel Talon
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer served as one of the ships that protected the construction site of the first Death Star near Despayre, early in the era of the New Order. (DSTR)

Steelback
This was an Imperial slang term, used by some officers to describe stormtroopers. (MCI6)

Steel-brother
This was a term used by many ancient droids to refer to another droid. (HSL)

Steelcrete
This was a type of superhard, metallic concrete building material. (E4, HTTE, JS)

Steelfab
A reinforced form of steel, steelfab was manufactured to have high tensile strengths, and was used to create restraints for hospital beds and prison facilities. (BP)

Steelhide
This material was used to make blaster holsters. (SOP)

Steelious
This planet was the site of a major transfer location for Alliance supplies during the Galactic Civil War. War materiel passed through Hervack Starport, destined for a number of Alliance cells in the sector. (GMS)

Steelstone
This building material combined the strength and luster of steel with the durability and beauty of stone. It was often used to form heavy security doors. (DA)

Steelton
This small corporation manufactured the massive control cables used to connect a pod racer's pod to its turbine engines. Steelton cables were also designed to relay data between the pod and the engines, such as acceleration and directional data. Note that The Rise and Fall of Darth Vader does not capitalize this term, possibly meaning that steelton was the material used to manufacture the cables. (E1N, RFDV)

Steelton
This material was used to manufacture the heavy cables that connected a podracer's cockpit to its engines. Note that novelization of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace capitalizes the term Steelton, indicating that the term might be the name of a manufacturer, and not just a material. (RFDV, E1N)

Steen, Joh
This man worked for Red Star Shipping as a transport Captain, and was in command of transport A-175 when it was ambushed by the Far Orbit. Steen believed Dhas Vedij was an Imperial Captain, and surrendered his cargo to the Far Orbit. (FOP)

S'teeni
This Yuuzhan Vong tree was distinguished by the fact that it looked as if it had been dipped in blood. (MF)

Steeze, Cortle
One of many aliases used by Zsinj, Steeze owned a huge plot of land in Viamarr 4. Zsinj was using these aliases and the property they owned to hide manufacturing facilities which supported his war machine. (WS)

Steffans, Catronus
This man served the Old Republic as a defense official, during the height of the Mandalorian Wars. It was Steffans who criticized the comments of Admiral Noma Sommos, who questioned the Republic's continued reliance on fringers and freelance soldiers to bolster their armed forces against the Mandalorians. In a statement after the Republic's failure to defend planets like Jebble and Taris during The Onslaught, Steffans explained that the use of non-military personnel in combat situations allowed the Republic to save credits and put them to use in outfitting the entire defense force. He pushed for the Republic to continue using freelance soldiers instead of bowing to "military expedience." (KOR1, KOR4)

Stela
This was the name of the small stone pillar that was placed atop the ceremonial tiles used by the Swokes Swokes to denote individuals in The Tract. (WOTC, GORW)

Stelaciter
This Iskalloni frigate resembled an 83-meter long asteroid. It was crewed by 39 Iskalloni, and could transport up to 15 passengers. Armed with pair of double laser cannons and a single heavy laser cannon, the ship was designed to allow the Iskalloni to enter normal space as a stray asteroid. Once the ship was detected, it could open fire on the ships which arrived to move it out of planetary space. The Iskalloni would then drop to the planet's surface via similarly-designed dropships. (TSK)

Stele, Kerek
This man was a native of Kuan, and a gifted scientist, during the height of the New Order. He was kidnapped by Bordali agents and tortured, in an effort to get him to divulge his scientific knowledge. When normal methods failed to work, the Bordali decided to kidnap his wife and son, and use their lives to force him to reveal his secrets. However, before they could successfully catch them, the Empire invaded the Taroon System and took them all hostage. Kerek remained a hostage for many months, until he was suddenly reunited with Maarek aboard the Glory, several months after the Battle of Hoth. Maarek's old friend, Pargo, was serving as a stormtrooper aboard the Star Destroyer, and after recognized both men, he decided to bring them together for a brief moment. Despite not having seen his son in months, Kerek had learned that Maarek had become one of the Empire's best pilots, and he openly criticized his son's career choices. Maarek vowed to do whatever he could to ensure Kerek's freedom, before Pargo had to take Kerek back to his cell. Maarek made good on his promise, swearing loyalty to Emperor Palpatine himself, in exchange for Kerek's safe return to Kuan. (TSC, TIEP)

Stele, Maarek
A native of the planet Kuan, Maarek was the only son of Kerek and Marina Stele. Maarek grew up like most young boys on backwater planets, racing swoops at breakneck speeds in his spare time. After the abduction of his father, Maarek and his mother hid in one of the planet's lesser-known cities, until his participation in a swoop stunt provided Maarek's name to the Bordali. They sent Gwadj to kidnap Maarek and Marina, but the Empire chose that very moment to invade the Taroon System. Maarek was taken away and conscripted as a repair technician. After a few months, Maarek was sufficiently knowledgeable about TIE fighters that he was allowed to take them for test runs after finishing repairs. On one such flight, near Farboon, he was the only fighter launched when Admiral Mordon's shuttle was intercepted by Alliance starfighters. Maarek came to his rescue, and was given a chance to become an Imperial pilot. He jumped at the chance, and went on to become one of the Empire's most fearsome TIE pilots.

Much of his early career was guided behind the scenes by Mordon, who urged Stele to make contact with the members of the Secret Order of the Empire who were aboard many Imperial ships. Beginning with his posting on the Vengeance, Stele found himself wrapped up in mysterious events whenever he met with the Order, which often asked him to carry out secondary missions during his flights. Stele was transferred to the Hammer, during the days that followed the Battle of Hoth, and then was transferred to the Fogger before finding himself stationed on the Star Destroyer Protector during the Empire's attempt to end the Sepan Civil War. When the conflict in the Sepan System was over, Stele was again transferred, this time to the frigate Ludwick, where he was instrumental in Vice Admiral Thrawn's plans to eliminate the pirates that were hiding in the system. To the wonder and amazement of his fellow pilots, Stele was transferred to the Shamus after the Pakuuni System was pacified, and he started to wonder if his reputation as something of a rogue - he often disobeyed orders to carry out missions from the Secret Order - was behind all the transfers. He later learned that the Secret Order of the Empire was behind the transfers, and that they were using his skills and his ability to obey multiple sets of orders to keep track of various rebels within the Imperial Navy. Maarek's postings brought him into contact with Admirals Harkov and Zaarin, and his contacts with them helped the Empire eliminate the traitors.

Shortly after joining Zaarin's crew aboard the Star Destroyer Glory, Maarek was approached by a stormtrooper who demanded that Maarek follow him. The stormtrooper, who turned out to be Maarek's childhood friend, Pargo, brought him to a little-used chamber, where Maarek was briefly reunited with his father, Kerek. The two men spent a few moments together, before Pargo was forced to return Kerek to his cell. Before he left, however, Kerek was forced to express is disappointment with Maarek's career choice, leaving Maarek with a sick feeling. He later pleaded with the robed men who served the Secret Order, pledging his loyalty if they would only find a way to return Kerek safely to Kuan. When Arden Lyn joined rogue Admiral Zaarin in an attempt to kidnap Emperor Palpatine, Maarek was transferred to the Garret, and provided support to Darth Vader himself in preventing the coup. This earned him the attention of the Emperor, who recognized that Maarek had some sensitivity to the Force. In exchange for Stele's continued loyalty to the Empire, Emperor Palpatine vowed to spare Kerek Stele's life, and return him to Kuan. Maarek was later trained by the Prophets of the Dark Side, earning the rank of Tan and becoming one of the Emperor's Hands. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Steele served with the 181st Imperial Fighter Group under Soontir Fel, but he eventually retired from active military duty. Despite his loyalty to the Imperial Remnant, Maarek Stele agreed to lend his piloting skills to the group of beings who agreed to help Lando Calrissian save the planet Kessel, some three years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. By this time, Maarek had gone completely bald, but he never seemed to lose the thrill of flying a starfighter. (TIE, TSC, GMR5, NECH, EGF, FJ1, TIEP)

Stele, Marina
A native of the planet Kuan, this woman was Kerek Stele's wife and Maarek Stele's mother. After Kerek was kidnapped by the People of Bordal, Marina fought back and tried to free her husband. In the scuffle that ensued, Marina killed a Bordali agent, but Kerek was captured and taken away. The Bordali never forgot her actions, and decided to take Marina and Maarek prisoner, in an effort to get Kerek to reveal his secrets. Their plan failed when the Empire subjugated the Taroon System. When the Empire conscripted Maarek into the armed forces, Marina decided to remain behind on Kuan, helping to ensure a smooth transition of power while continuing the search for Kerek. (TSC)

Stella
This Bith female commanded a group of pirates who worked from a base in Mos Taike, on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Stellar CommCour
This was the one of the galaxy's largest courier services, active during the early years of the New Republic. Stellar CommCour and other such operations filled the gap that was formed with the Empire eliminated government funding for comnets, effectively shutting down planet-to-planet communications for the common being. Courier services helped citizens get messages to friends and loved ones when there was no communications network in place. (SWJ7, OWS)

Stellar Damsel
This CR90 corvette was owned and operated by the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. It was often dispatched to carry vital information to the groups that could use it most wisely. During one such mission, the Stellar Damsel was ambushed by an Imperial Star Destroyer and barely escaped to hyperspace. Unfortunately, the ship's hyperdrive was also damaged, and the Stellar Damsel emerged from hyperspace within the Miro Asteroid Belt. Most of the crew was killed, although the ship's First Mate, Guro, managed to survive. They hid inside and unstable asteroid, and were eventually rescued by the crew of the Knight Errant. (WOA3)

Stellar Envoy
This YT-1300 freighter was owned by the Republic Group, and was based out of the planet Ralltiir during the final years of the Old Republic. Originally designated as YT 492727ZED when it was constructed at the Corellian Engineering Corporation's orbital shipyards, the Stellar Envoy was acquired by the Republic Group some fifteen years after its previous owner, Kal Brigger, was killed during the Stark Hyperspace Wars. As part of the Republic Group's small fleet, the ship was piloted by Reeze Duurmun and Tobb Jadak on many missions, and it was also believed that Jedi Master Plo Koon might have piloted the ship on other missions. The Stellar Envoy was en route to Coruscant when General Grievous launched his attack on the capital world. The ship was unarmed, and so Reeze and Jadak had to rely on their piloting skills in order to land the ship at their destination, the hangar facilities at the Senate Building. At the Senate hangars, Duurmun and Tobb turned over their cargo - a simple case - to Senators Des'sain and Largetto. With the delivery completed, Duurmun and Tobb were take the Stellar Envoy to Toprawa and turn it over to an Antarian Ranger named Folee. Although Duurmun had hoped that they would receive the ship as payment, he and Tobb set out to complete their last mission. The Senators had explained that the ship was a kind of key, and that it had been programmed to carry out a specific mission. Duurmun and Tobb were nearly trapped on Coruscant in the wake of the so-called Jedi Rebellion, and were forced to blast off without clearance. The orbiting warships tried to blockade the planet, but Duurmun managed to jump the ship to Nar Shaddaa. This proved to be a dangerous proposition, because the Stellar Envoy was damaged during its flight from Coruscant, and power to key systems could not be restored when they exited from hyperspace. This left them in the path of the Jendirian Valley Three, an outgoing bulk freighter, and with no other recourse, Duurmun and Tobb tried to escape in a life pod. The Stellar Envoy hit the freighter and was all but destroyed, and the escape pod followed right behind it. Only Tobb managed to survive, and the remains of the Stellar Envoy were recovered as scrap by Bammy Decree, who rebuilt the ship for Rej Taunt and renamed it the Second Chance. (MF)

Stellar Informant
This newsfeed was known for its tabloid-style reporting. (HR)

Stellar Mermaid
This ZD-8000 luxury starliner was known for its comfort, as well as the matching prices. Sarn Nightbringer tried to auction off a prototype set of Imperial body armor on this ship, in an attempt to raise money for her criminal organization. At the time, it was commanded by Captain Glaucus. (POC)

Stellar Princess
This starliner used to make the trip between Nar Shaddaa and Nar Hekka on a regular basis. The ancient ship had a navigational computer which couldn't handle the gravity wells produced by the Y'Toub System, and was forced to make the trip as sublight speeds. (THG)

Stellar Sentinel
One of several ships sent by the New Republic to accompany Garm Bel Iblis, Booster Terrik, and the Errant Venture to Yaga Minor, in an attempt to steal a copy of the Caamas Document. (VOF)

Stellar Web
This Interdictor-class warship was part of the fleet commanded by Imperial Captain Barr Moutil, in the service of Admiral Rogriss, during the early years of the New Republic. Rogriss volunteered the use of the ship to Han Solo and the New Republic fleet hunting Warlord Zsinj, since both men were working toward the same goal. They hoped that Zsinj would be surprised enough at the sight of an Imperial ship working with Solo - let alone an Interdictor cruiser - that they would be able to trap him at Vahaba and destroy him. The plan nearly succeeded, but Zsinj inflicted a great deal of damage to the Stellar Web, forcing it out of the battle enough to escape. (SOC)

Steller Mag V
A mining vessel manufactured by Arakyd, this huge ship measured 542 meters in length and was manned by a crew of 3 assisted by 19 droids and a gunner. The Mag V had no hyperdrive capabilities, as it was designed to be a deep-space mine repair and supply vessel. It was armed with a single turbolaser battery. (SN)

Stellskard
This man was a native of the planet Bryndar, and lived in the Banvhar Combine during the final years of the Old Republic. Stellskard agreed to help Flynn Kybo locate General Grievous, since many of his fellow farmers had lost their livelihoods because of the Separatist leader's activities. After much of his lands were destroyed by Grievous, Stellskard took up residence on Banvhar Station. He helped pilot the stolen freighter XXX-567-22B to Belsus, and was instrumental in helping Codi Ty and and a group of Jedi younglings escape from Grievous. (SWGG)

StelProbe V Droid
This planetary exploration droid was developed during the Galactic Civil War, and was equipped with a wide array sensory devices and computer systems. It resembles a large crustacean, and stands about a meter tall. (GMS)

Steltout
This was one of the larger continents found on the planet Essowyn. (PG1)

Stempel
This man was in command of the Balawai militia defending Pelek Baw, some six months after the Battle of Geonosis. After Jedi Master Mace Windu surprisingly won the Battle of Lorshan Pass and marched his Korunnai forces on Pelek Baw, Stempel was captured in the initial raids and held for questioning. It was believed that he maintained the codes to the droid control system buried under the city, since he was the Major in command of the complex, but he was simply a relay man for Lorz Geptun. Major Stempel simply carried out Geptun's orders, and didn't know the codes himself until Geptun relayed them for activation. (SHPT)

Stenax
The natives of this planet worshipped the Vol, millennia before the Battle of Yavin. Note that this was probably a mistake, and actually referred to the planet Stenos. (LTA4, MC79)

Stenax
This was the name given to the race of sentient beings native to the planet Stenos. A number of Stenax fought with the Alliance during the final battles of the Galactic Civil War. The average Stenax stood more than two meters tall, and was easily distinguished by their deep burgundy scales and large, leathery wings. Bony spikes and sharp claws studded their shoulders, hands, and feet. Many Stenaxes regularly lived more than two centuries, with several individuals living for at least 270 years. For many centuries, the Stenax believed that they were cursed to remain on Stenos, after a series of earthquakes destroyed the ancient temple they had erected to the god Vol. Legend held that, until a statue of Vol was recovered from beneath the earth, the curse against the Stenax held. Rik Duel, acting on orders from Alliance Colonel Kindar, tried to locate the statue of Vol in order to gain the respect and loyalty of the Stenax people. He tried to sell the statue for a profit, and barely escaped with his life. After that, the Stenax seemed to keep primarily to themselves, provided that the offworlders stayed away from their territory and out of their cultural affairs. Much of this was a cover for several undercover operations they undertook to size up both the Alliance and the Empire as potential enemies. (LTA6, MC70, MC71, GMR1)

Stenax
This was the native language of the Stenax race. (GMR1)

Stenax Massacres
This was the name used by historians to describe the brief period of galactic history some ten months after the Battle of Endor, when Stenaxes across the galaxy rose up in an attempt to eliminate Imperial outposts across the galaxy. The basis for the Stenax hatred of the Empire was the Imperial occupation of Stenos many years earlier, during which the Stenax kept to themselves while secretly sizing up the Empire as an enemy. Without any knowledge of the ongoing Galactic Civil War, the Stenaxes planned their attacks quite precisely, although the battles fought during the massacres quickly spilled over into civilian areas. The primary attacks occurred on Kadril, Arda-2, Sooma, Alzar, and Tandankin, although reports came in from across the Gordian Reach as well. The New Republic was finally able to put a stop to the massacres on Tharkos, but not before many intelligent races were utterly wiped out. The death toll from the Stenax Massacres numbered in the millions, and forced the New Republic to establish monitoring posts in orbit around Stenos to prevent further actions by the Stenax. (GMR1)

Stend
This star was the central body of the Stend System. (GG9)

Stend IV
This Outer Rim world, the fourth planet in the Stend System, was settled by a colony of Gran during the era of the Old Republic. (WOA2)

Stend System
This star system was located in the Sarin Sector of the Outer Rim Territories, and contained the planets Stend IV and Stend VI. (GG9)

Stend VI
This Outer Rim planet was considered one of the dullest planets in the galaxy, having virtually nothing remarkable about it. This inherent bordeom gave rise to some of the galaxy's most notorious swoop gangs, including the Skulls, until they decided to relocate to the Hook Nebula. The average day on Stend VI lasted about twenty-three standard hours, and its year encompassed 230 local days. (GG9, WSV)

Stendaff
This was one of the Sacheen-class escort ships that remained in Pakkpekatt's reduced fleet at Gmir Askilon, after the Teljkon vagabond had jumped into hyperspace. The New Republic had ordered the rest of the fleet to rejoin their battle groups or report to drydock for repairs. (SOL)

Steng
This Yuuzhan Vong Warmaster was defeated in combat by Yo'Gand, at the end of the Cremlevian War. Despite his defeat, Steng was remembered by the Yuuzhan Vong for many generations, for he proved himself to be a ruthless warrior who had died with honor. (GMR8)

Steng's Talons
Named for the ancient Yuuzhan Vong Warmaster Steng, these sharp spikes were engineered from sguaru bones that had been sheathed with yorik coral. Up to ten of these spikes were inserted into a warrior's torso during a dangerous augmentation procedure, once a warrior had distinguished himself in combat. These spikes could be extended by a muscular contraction during hand-to-hand combat, goring an opponent in a surprise attack. (GMR8)

Steniplis Sector
This was one of the many sectors of the galaxy recognized by the Empire. (AIR)

Stenir, Kevzod
This man served the Old Republic as a Fourth Assistant Attorney General in the Judiciary branch, during the years leading up the Clone Wars. He was placed in charge of investigating the claims of former Republic corporations which were based on worlds which seceded from the Republic to join Count Dooku and the Separatists. Many of these corporations found themselves overrun by the Trade Federation or the Commerce Guild, but could not count on Republic intervention because the planet they were based on was no longer part of the Republic. (HNN5)

Stennaros
This planet was the homeworld of the Stennes and the Stennes Shifter species. It was continually sought out by other species and attacked from space, in an effort to destroy the Stennes Shifters. (SWJ12)

Stennes
This was a race of near-human beings native to the planet Stennaros. Many believe that the race of Stennes Shifters was a genetic descendant of the Stennes. (SWJ12)

Stennes Node
Located in the Inner Rim, this was a collection of densely-clustered star systems which contained many mineral- and ore-rich worlds. Note that this may be the same location as the Stenness System. (PJSB)

Stennes Shifter
This race of near-humans was distinguished by its ability to blend into any crowd. As a race, the Stennes Shifters resembled short, pale-skinned humans with sunken eye sockets and no hair. Scientists believed that the Stennes Shifter was a genetic variant of the Stennes race, which first appeared some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. They were discovered by the ancient Jedi Knights, for the Stennes Shifters had a strange kind of Force sensitivity which allowed them to obtain energy from the living Force. The Shifters could even "steal" the living energy from a nearby being, earning them the nickname Force-eaters. Unlike other species which could change their appearance, the Stennes Shifters used telepathic manipulation to change their shape in the minds of others, they were the only species that truly used their abilities to the disadvantage of other races. They were xenophobic in nature, partly because of their own inborn prejudices and partly from millennia of persecution by other races. Their homeworld of Stennaros had been bombarded several times since they were first encountered, in an effort to wipe them out. (CCG, SWJ12)

Stenness
This planet was the primary world of the Stenness System. (DSSB)

Stenness Hyperspace Terminal
This was the name of the vast space station which was created near the hyperspace jump gate in the Stenness Systems, some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. It was also known as the Stenness Node. (TOJC)

Stenness Lizard Pie
This awful-tasting meal was usually served at the Stenness spaceport. The origins of Stenness Lizard Pie could be traced back to the time of the Great Sith War. (TOJ, TGD)

Stenness Node
This name was used interchangeable to describe both the Stenness Hyperspace Terminal and the Stenness System. (TOJC, GMR1)

Stenness Pie
This was another name for Stenness Lizard Pie. It made the dish more appealing than it actually was. (TGD)

Stenness Raider
One of Finhead Stonebone's E-2 ore stealers. (EGV)

Stenness System
The Stenness System was actually a collection of seven mining worlds in three primary star systems located in the Expansion Region of the galaxy. In all, the worlds of the Stenness System supported some twenty-five unique, humanoid races. Due to the demand for the ores mined on the various planets, the Stenness System was given its own hyperspace jump gate very early on. The mines gave out long before the Great Sith War, but the wealth they provided was still generating interest and good lifestyles for the planets' inhabitants. As a result, the system's inhabitants, often refered to as 'Nessies, were highly addicted to spice. According to Dark Empire, the Stenness System were discovered about 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. However, Tales of the Jedi indicates that it as an already-established system at that time, with its own hyperspace jump gate. (TOJ, DE1, DBPD)

Stenos
Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, and Chewbacca sought the bounty hunter Bossk on this planet, sometime after the Battle of Hoth. The planet had once been the site of an Alliance base, during the early days of the Galactic Civil War, but it was eventually overrun by Imperial forces. The Imperial occupation earned the hatred of the Stenax race, which launched the Stenax Massacres some ten months after the Battle of Endor to try and strike back at their oppressors. However, the civilian casualties were exceptionally high, and the New Republic military was forced to put an end to the Stenaxes' invasions. Ultimately, monitoring posts were erected in orbit around Stenos to keep track of the activities of the Stenax. (MC70, GMR1)

Stensen's Colony
This planet was known for its colonies of Ghothian slime, which existed in great pools. It was said that some of these slime pools eventually developed a rudimentary intelligence. (ISB)

Stent
This Chiss, whose full name was Kres'ten'tarthi, served as Voss Parck's righthand man at the Hand of Thrawn compound on Nirauan during the Galactic Civil War. He was also the leader of Thrawn's personal household phalanx, and was one of the few Chiss who felt that Thrawn was a born leader who was working in his race's best interests, and shouldn't have been exiled. He heeded Thrawn's message, to wait ten years after the report of his death before he would return to lead them to power once again. Stent bided his time, until Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker arrived on the planet to investigate the Hand of Thrawn. After the facility was nearly destroyed, Stent continued to serve the Nuruodo phalanx, and was on duty when the Skywalkers returned to Nirauan three years later, at the request of Voss Parck.

(LOJ)

Stepla, Red
This was the alias that was adopted by former university professor Wildis Jiklip, when she fled the public eye and took on the role of a smuggler. Stepla and her crew were known for the unusual missions they undertook, moving strange and often illegal cargoes to out-of-the-way locations during the height of the New Republic.

Stereb
This hulking, long-limbed, humanoid race was native to the planet Serroco. The Stereb spent most of their lives living above ground, in settlements created from crude stone buildings. Each of these Stereb Cities sat atop an interconnected network of tunnels and warrens, which were excavated as retreats that could be used when tornadoes and other storms swept across the planet's surface. The average Stereb stood more than two meters in height, and was covered with thick, reddish skin. As a people, the Stereb tended to be gullible and were not overly intelligent, and usually acted more on instinct than on reasoning or logic.

During the height of the Mandalorian Wars, Serroco was devastated by the Mandalorians, and only the timely warning of Carth Onasi managed to save the Stereb in seventeen of their cities. Onasi later revealed to Zayne Carrick that the warning was actually something of a joke, since Republic forces often sent false tornado warning to the Stereb, who fled into the warrens. Onasi had come to loathe the practice, since it demeaned the Stereb, but he felt that it was worthwhile if it saved any Stereb from the Mandalorian warheads. (KOR4)

Stereb Cities
This was the name used by the forces of the Old Republic, during the height of the Mandalorian Wars, to describe the collections of stone structures that were erected by the Stereb on their homeworld of Serroco. The native Stereb lived aboveground for the most part, but retreated into underground warrens whenever storms swept across the planet's surface. The Stereb Cities were wiped out when the Mandalorians attacked Serroco, but Carth Onasi managed to warn seventeen cities beforehand, giving the Stereb a chance to flee into their warrens. (KOR4)

This man was a Lieutenant in the New Republic armed forces, and was stationed on Cadinth two years after the Battle of Endor. He was on lookout patrol when Imperial forces invaded the planet, and his outpost was overrun by a mixed force of AP-series war droids and stormtroopers in Sniper airspeeders. He did manage to get off a message to the main base, warning them of the Imperial attack. (GAL2, OWS)

Stihl, Nova
This man served the Imperial Army as a stormtrooper, during the construction of the first Death Star. He was stationed on the planet Despayre, where he served as a guard at the Slashtown prison colony. Stihl held the rank of Sergeant at the time, and was known among the prisoners for his easy-going attitude, provided that one stayed on his good side. In addition to serving as a guard, Stihl was well-versed in the martial arts of teras kasi, having studied the discipline for more than twelve years. He was the Unarmed Middleweight Champion of the First Naval Fleet for two years, and runner-up two other times.

He put his skills to work by teaching self-defense to other guards, and even opened the classes up to the better-behaved prisoners. These classes helped the other guards be better prepared for an attack, but they also gave the weaker prisoners a chance to stand up for themselves. This was how he met and befriended Celot Ratua Dil, who had an uncanny knack for anticipating an attack in hand-to-hand combat.

His routine at the prison colony was disrupted one day when a lieutenant intercepted him and gave him orders to report to a duty station aboard the Death Star. Once settled into his new routine, Sergeant Stihl once again started up his martial arts classes. It was during one of his classes that he befriended the bouncer called Rodo, with whom Stihl shared a love of exotic martial arts. They began sparring in the evenings, when both were off their normal shifts. However, even with this additional exercise, Stihl found that he had trouble sleeping, and often experienced terrifying nightmares of his own impending death.

He finally decided to see a doctor, to get some help in improving his sleep. Doctor Kornell Divini ran several common tests, and was surprised to find that Stihl's midi-chlorian count was quite high. Stihl himself returned to active duty, but the medications prescribed by the doctor did little to stop his dreams. In one dream, he and his men were on detention block patrol when intruders escapde from detention block AA-23. His team encountered a lone gunman and a Wookiee, and Stihl was shot in the chest, at which time he awoke from the dream. His worst dream occurred when the Death Star destroyed the planet Despayre, as he was assaulted by the emotional wave of anguish that followed the deaths of every living thing on the planet.

In the wake of the destruction, Stihl headed for the Hard Heart Cantina, hoping to drown out the sensations with alcohol. However, he ran into Celot Ratua Dil in the cantina, and openly questioned his presence on the station. Only the assurance of Memah Roothes that Dil would not cause any trouble - and the fact that there was no longer prison world to send him back to - kept Stihl from bring in the Zelosian into custody. Eventually, then two beings decided their their former friendship was stronger than their differences.

The pain and anguish he had felt when Despayre was destroyed came back to him a hundred-fold when the Death Star destroyed Alderaan. The sensation of feeling billions of deaths rendered him unconscious, but it wasn't until later that he realized what had happened. He resolved to leave the Imperial military when his tour of duty was over. When Atour Riten offered Stihl and his friends a chance to steal an Imperial shuttle and escape, Stihl told him to set his plans in motion.

Shortly after the meeting with Riten, Stihl found himself living out his dream of defending against a group of rebels in Detention Block AA-23. The events played out almost exactly as they had in his dreams, except for the point where he was about to be killed. When the rebels - Han Solo and Chewbacca - escaped through a closing blast door, Stihl pretended to have trouble getting them open. He delayed as long as possible before calling in assistance, giving the rebels a chance to escape. He gave them a further chance when he came to a branch in the corridor, and took the turn that the rebels did not.

When the time came for Stihl and a group of other conspirators to make their escape, the group was apprehended by a pair of stormtroopers. Rather than waiting for something to happen, Stihl and Rodo attacked the troopers, then remained behind to cover their escape when more stormtroopers arrived. When the reinforcements arrived, Stihl recognized it from another of his nightmares. This time, however, the nightmare came true. Rodo was overpowered and shot to death, and one of the troopers managed to fire off a blast that caught Stihl in the head, killing him instantly. (SWI96, DSTR)

He was a veteran of the military of the Old Republic, but never saw any action. Instead, he proed himself adept at getting supplies to troops quickly and efficiently. He declined the opportunity to remain in the Imperial military, retiring from active duty until he began to realize what Emperor Palpatine was doing to the galaxy. Despite his skills in supply and ordnance, he couldn't adjust to the impromptu actions of T'Charek Haathi, who was also stationed on Gelgelar. His feelings toward her bordered on hatred, and only got worse when a Doom Slayer droid exploded in his warehouse, after it had been disabled while attacking Haathi's crew. He ordered her to replace the supplies which were lost. (SWJ14)

Developed for the Empire by Arakyd during the early years of the New Order, this tall, cylindrical droid was designed to guard remote outposts. It contained a unique biorecognition package that could identify the biomagnetic signature of virtually any race or species. Data was provided to the Stiletto droid from interrogation sessions, and had to be hardcoded into the droid's computer memory ROM. The Stiletto series was equipped with a small repulsorlift propulsion system, and was armed with a pair of blaster cannons. These systems allowed the Stiletto to use its tracking routines to hunt down an escaped prisoner or specific target. The tracking and targetting routines of the Stiletto were quite accurate, and escapees had to rely on luck to get away. Because of their age, many Stilettoes were still in use during the New Republic's early years. (TBSB, FTD)

Stilijan, Trenar

Despite the successful ambush of the Wayfaring Stranger, Stillman was captured onboard by a team of Alliance agents who had finished their tour of duty on Bakura, and Yanglan returned to his home on Cridark II. (TBSB)

Stiltwalker
This unusual amphibian was found on swampy planets throughout the galaxy. Its body shape resembled a large hand which walked on its fingers, and measured about fifteen centimeters in height. Each of the stiltwalkers legs were tipped with a sharp claw, which was used to grip the ground. It used a sticky tongue to grab hold of the small insects was fed on. Xenobiologists believe that male and female stiltwalkers evolved from unique species, since the females breathe water and have thick tentacles instead of legs. However, analysis revealed that all stiltwalkers evolved from the same genetic source. They communicate via high-pitched chirps, which allow males to sound an alarm whenever the females of their group were threatened. (COG)

Stim Plug
This was a form of stimulant that could be administered directly to a being's body, or through a dedicated port in a prosthetic limb.

Stinex, Benits
This man was perhaps the best-known and most influential architect in the galaxy, during the early years of the New Order. He regularly graced the pages of Beings Holozine, and commanded a huge price for his services. Despite the price, and the fact that he was approaching 100 years of age, Stinex was hired by the Empire to serve as the chief architect for the interior spaces of the first Death Star. After arriving at Despayre, one of Stinex's first actions was to recruit Teela Kaarz from the planet's surface.

Despite her criminal record, Stinex recognized her skills as an arcologist, and pushed her to develop improvements to the space station's designs, even as it was being constructed around them. Instead of telling her what he thought should be done in a given situation, Stinex would pose the situation as a test or question, and see what answer she arrived at. In this way, he usually got an answer that was as good as, if not better then, the one he already had. (DSTR)

Sting
This was the name of the black-furred Velusian fursnake kept as a pet by the bounty hunter Khlor. (CCW)

Sting Ball
This type of energized ball was developed for training military personnel, and was later adopted by Jedi Knights. The sting ball produced a stinging shock when it impacted with its target. Thus it could be thrown at an individual in any number of exercises. Most military training facilities used sting balls to teach agility and speed. The Jedi also used them as part of a centering exercise, where apprentices were taught to maintain their composure while teachers were assaulting them with sting balls. (DN1)

Sting Burst
This was a term used to describe any low-powered blaster bolt that delivered a painful sting, rather than a penetrating wound, when it struck flesh. Many training remotes and other system used to develop weapons skills used sting bursts to alert a being to a hit. (RF1)

Stinger
This was the name of an ancient, swift-attack starfighter. (DLS)

Stinger
This starship was best-known as the vessel used by the human-replica droid Guri, during her career with Black Sun. The ship was a modified Surronian Conqueror starship, which had a sleek shape that was famous throughout the galaxy. It was formerly owned by Admiral Bleyd, who was later killed by the Nediji assassin Kaird. Kaird took possession of the ship for many years, during which time he rose through the ranks of the Black Sun organization. Kaird used the ship for many years, until he became wrapped up in the machinations of Prince Xizor, shortly after the Clone Wars. After Underlord Dal Perhi schemed with Kaird to eliminate Xizor, Xizor was able to evade their attempt to execute him, and he took Kaird prisoner. Xizor also took possession of the Stinger, and later entrusted the ship to Guri after he purchased her. She needed a ship that proved her position in Xizor's organization, and this was it. The Stinger was modified to have increased power output, allowing it to achieve speeds up to 1,150 kilometers an hour in atmosphere. Maneuverability was enhanced by giving the pilot control of each of its eight exhaust nozzles. Emergency braking jets added the ability to stop quickly, allowing pursuit to speed ahead and into target range. An H2-1 hyperdrive system gives it long-range punch. Weaponry consists of two forward-mounted ion cannons and a top-mounted laser cannon. (SE, EGV, CN1)

Stinger 627 S
This small podracer was produced by Pizer-Errol, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. The Stinger 627 S was noted for its responsiveness to quick turns, as well as the ease with which it could be repaired during a race. However, its small size and fragile construction were often the downfall of many podracers. (RAC)

Stinger Cord
This was a form of deterrent weaponry that was developed for crowd control during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Often deployed by security droids, stinger cords delivered an intense, electrical discharge when they came into contact with metal or flesh. This jolt of electricity served to overload the fuses and sensitive control systems of most vehicles, rendering them immobile. (LF2)

This Imperial Major worked for the Procurement Bureau during the height of the New Order. He was placed in command of a detail searching for doonium and other raw materials for the Imperial war machine. Stipling and his crew never got a chance to report back from their mission to Yen-2, however, as Bel Att and Limna Yith were also dispatched to restore Black Sun's control of the colony. Bel Att captured Stipling and his team and locked them in their shuttle. The hitmen then launched the shuttle into the Verde Asteroid Field on an autopilot setting which took it straight through the belt. The shuttle was destroyed in the asteroids, killing all aboard. (SSR)

Stitar
This was an alias used by Starter, during his attempt to deliver secret information to the Alliance base on Renforra. Stitar was the captain of the scout ship Seeker Cub, which was actually Starter's beat-up X-Wing. (SWJ4)

This large predator was native to the upland jungles of the planet Haruun Kal. (SHPT)

Stock Light Freighter
Any small cargo ship, such as the Corellian YT-1300. Their small size had relegated them to lesser duty, since the advent of the larger bulk cruisers. (E4, SWSB)

Stock Lights
It was in this bar that Cavv Cryle convinces his nephew, Sienn Sconn, to steal the Super-class Star Destroyer Guardian for the Alliance. (SWJ15)

Stodiz, Mer
This Sullustan was one of the founders of the Verga Mer Mining Company, along with Verga Nus. The pair had to deal with a number of setbacks during the years following the Battle of Naboo, primarily the poor economic conditions brought about by the Clone Wars, but they managed to keep VMMC a profitable business. (LFC, WOTC)

STOE
This acronym was used by naval personnel to describe a surface-to-orbit emplacement, which was any ground-based turbolaser or ion cannon that could fire on targets in orbit around a planet. (LSSM)

Stofo Lupinoid
An alien Luke Skywalker finds in the Mos Eisley cantina. Might this be a reference to the Shistavenan Wolfman? (E4R)

Stoga
This desert world was located in a far-flung corner of the Outer Rim Territories. Its remote location and lack of greenery meant that most beings ignored the planet, making it the perfect haven for small bands of criminals who needed to escape Imperial notice. BoShek was among the first to choose Stoga as a refuge, but his anonymity was broken when he met up with Rasha Bex. (SWEOR)

Stohl
This creature's fur was considered valuable, and only royalty and high-ranking officials can afford to use it in their clothing. (POT)

Stokasa
This hulking Klatooinan was one of the many failed gladiators who were forced into a life of slavery by Sollima and his thugs, during the height of the New Order. Stokasa and his fellow slaves were forced to carry out hard labor on the surface of the Hollow Moon, without any hope of freedom. That all changed about a year before the Battle of Yavin, when Chewbacca was forced to fight in the gladiator arena. Stokasa befriended the Wookiee, and explained the situation in the slave pits. Although Chewbacca was initially reluctant to help the slaves, he changed his mind when he saw the abuse that Dravin Razorbrain was forced to endure. The Wookiee rose up against the slaver who was trying to harm Razorbrain, prompting Stokasa and the other slaves to stage a massive revolt. The revolt coincided with the return of Han Solo and Billal Batross to the Hollow Moon, during which they provided Imperial Captain Taavin with the access codes to the moon's shields. This combination of events forced Sollima to abandon the moon, giving Stokasa and the other slaves their freedom by default. Stokasa was quickly to thank Chewbacca for his efforts in obtaining their freedom, before heading to the hangar bay to steal a ship and flee before the Imperials arrived. (HMK)

Stoker
This clone commando was a member of the Gamma Squad, during the height of the Clone Wars. Stoker was the only survivor of the Gamma Squad, in the wake of the Battle of Geonosis. (RCTZ)

Stokhli
This race of nomads was native to the planet Manress. (EGW)

Stokhli Spray Stick
This weapon was developed by the Stokhli nomads as a way to capture prey. The weapon itself was a short tubes that could fire a spraynet mist to ensnare a target. It could also shoot shockstun juice at the target, to ensure the target was subdued. The Stokhli spray stick had a thumb-switch for activation, as well as controls to modify the spray pressure and profile. The netting itself was chemically developed to harden when exposed to the air and a source of heat, such as the body heat of a target. Any individual who was covered with the netting was instantly bound, although the netting would eventually evaporate over a period of several hours.

These weapons were used primarily by big-game hunters, but they found a niche with bounty hunters and espionage agents as well. The Noghri Commandos who worked for the Empire adopted them for capturing their targets. (HTTE, EGW, A)

Stokk, Jord
This man, a native of the planet Coruscant, was a known gambler who bet a fortune in credits on the podraces that were popular during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He was arrested and sent to the Oovo IV prison facility after being implicated in several credit-making schemes. One of these schemes - the intentional crippling of a podracer to ensure a certain local racer was able to win - earned him a bounty on his head from the Galactic Podracing Circuit Underwriters' Union. He believed that he was safe in prison, until Jango Fett arrived on Oovo IV to "rescue" Bendix Fust. During this mission, Jango managed to claim the bounty on Stokk. (BH)

Stokoryce
This was the capital city of the planet Leria Kerlsil. The city was opened to refugees during the Separatist crisis that rocked the Old Republic, just before the Clone Wars, but only for males with a net worth of 750,000 credits or more. (HNN5)

Stomorr
This was one of the larger settlements located on the moon of Skalokor. Stomorr was also one of the largest trading centers found on the moon. (GMR10)

Stompasaur
This was a slang term for an Imperial AT-AT walker. (SWJ4)

Stomper
This large, plodding subspecies of bolle bol was native to the Forest Moon of Endor. (SWG2P)

Stomper One
This was the name of the modified assault shuttle used by Jedi Master Luke Skywalker to infiltrate the Admiral Ackbar and confront Raynar Thul, during the final stages of the Swarm War. The Stomper One was carried into battle by the Megador, and was launched with a heavy escort, so that Master Skywalker could reach the Admiral Ackbar and confront UnuThul before the Joiner could create a defense. Luke was accompanied on the mission by a squadron of YHV 5-S Bugcruncher droids, and the entire group was denoted as Task Force Stomper. (DN3)

Stomper One
This was the designation of the leader YVH 5-S Bugcruncher droid that was part of Task Force Stomper, during the final stages of the Swarm War. (DN3)

Stomper Three
This was the designation of one of the YVH 5-S Bugcruncher droids that was part of Task Force Stomper, during the final stages of the Swarm War. (DN3)

Stomper Two
This was the designation of one of the YVH 5-S Bugcruncher droids that was part of Task Force Stomper, during the final stages of the Swarm War. (DN3)

Stone
This Clone Commander was placed in charge of the mission to transport Senator Kharrus and Senate Representative Jar Jar Binks to Florrum, during an attempt to pay the ransom offered by Hondo Ohnaka for Count Dooku, during the height of the Clone Wars. Distinguished by his bald head and the Galactic Senate crest that was painted on his shoulder plates, Commander Stone survived the crash-landing of their shuttle, and later led the effort to bury Kharrus when it was discovered that the Senator had been killed in the crash. Stone was forced to defer command of the mission to Jar Jar Binks, whose connection to the Galactic Senate made the Gungan the ranking officer on the mission. Stone and his clones had their doubts about Jar Jar, but were pleasantly surprised when his bungling antics actually allowed them to recover the ransom and reach Ohnaka's fortres. There, they were able to assist with the rescue of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, but they were unable to recapture Count Dooku. (CWTV11, CWTV12)

Stone Claws
This was the name used by the native of Lok to describe the conical pillars that were erected in circles arouns ancient shrines found on the planet. Each of these shrines were circular depressions carved out of the ground, and eight or more stone claws ringed the outside. Xenoarchaeologists were unsure if the stone claws were meant for protection, or were used as markers of celestial events. (SWGAL)

Stone Eel
This eel-like creature, found on the planet Storthus, was made of living, animated stone. (DRO)

Stone Frigate
This was a term used by many naval officers to describe a ground-based desk job. (RCTZ)

Stone Grotto
This posh, expensive restaurant was located in the city of Drev'starn, on Bothawui. It had a strict dress code, and reservations were required weeks in advance of a meal. (SPG)

Stone Heart
This YT-1300 freighter made regular runs in Elrood Sector during the height of the New Order. It was captured by Imperial customs patrols when it was disocvered that her captain had made illegal weapons upgrades without obtaining the proper permits. (OE)

Stone Mite
This creature, native to Orleon, lived on a steady diet of rock, metal, and most other substances. They were considered the bane of many spacers, since a swarm of stone mites could eat through a starship's hull in next to no time. (MC28)

Stone Mite
This biologically engineered creature was first created during the Clone Wars as the perfect scavenger. No larger than a human hand, a stone mite produced an intenrnal acid which could eat through most known materials. This acid was usually exuded during feeding, to help break down solid matter into a drinkable fluid. In the aftermath of the Clone Wars, entire colonies of stone mites were discovered living in asteroid belts, having escaped from their creators. The stone mite resembled a four-legged scorpion, but lacked the forward claws and the stinging barb. (LTA2)

Stone Mite
Believed to have been bio-engineered by Arkania scientists, stone mites first appeared in the Expansion Region shortly before the Clone Wars. They were designed to consume virtually any material, and quickly became the ultimate scavenger on the worlds where they were released. As designed, stone mites used special glands in their mouthparts to exude a metal-eating acid, which was used to pre-digest the materials that were consumed as food. Stone mites were originally thought to have been created to attack and destroy buildings and other non-organic systems, but these creatures could also subsist on the blood and flesh of living creatures.

Individual stone mites were hermaphroditic, and were literally born with a clutch of eggs impregnated in their abdomens. This allowed them to breed prolifically, and even orbital bombardment of planets which had been infested by stone mites were often insufficient to kill off an entire population. A group of three stone mites could actually join together and form a symbiotic triont, literally welding themselves to a single shell.

The Arkanians, despite disavowing and knowledge of the stone mite's development, were instrumental in helping the New Republic devise ways to eradicate a colony on an infested world. The only effective method of dealing with stone mites was to spray the colony with an oxidizing foam, which served to rust them to death.

In the wake of the Battle of Endor, many pro-Imperial terrorist groups used stone mites to attack and destroy worlds which embraced the New Republic. (WOTC, VD2, CVD)

Stone Needle
Located at one end of Beggar's Canyon on Tatooine, the Stone Needle was a natural rock formation that rises out of one fork in the canyon. It makes that particular fork nearly impassable, although the local youth feel that, when racing through the canyon, bypassing the Needle adds up to 5 seconds to your race time. The only two pilots ever to "thread the Needle" were Biggs Darklighter and Luke Skywalker. (E4R)

Stone Ray
see Ral (SPG)

Stonebat
This species of flying creature was native to Yavin 4. (BTS)

Stonebone, Finhead
This noted pirate resembled a Kubaz, except that he appeared to have three snouts instead of just one. A larger snout extended in between two smaller snouts. His origins were never discovered, although history showed he appeared in the known galaxy only a few years before the Great Sith War. He joined a pirate group in the Vorc Sector shortly afterward, and eventually earned enough money to buy his own ship. As Captain of the Starjacker, he tried to steal ore from Gruna's Colossus Wasp transport ship. When Gruna called in protection from Bogga the Hutt, Finhead was captured and given two choices: immediate death, or fly to Ambria and kill Master Thon. Finhead chose to go to Ambria, but was unsuccessful in trying to kill the Jedi Master. His small attack force was repelled by Thon and Nomi Sunrider. (TOJ, TOJC)

Stoneclaw, Arn
This man was a chorba farmer by trade, and was married to Emmi Stoneclaw. They lived on the planet Vernet with their adopted daughter Mair Koda and their own sons, Kristoff and Yuri. (SWJ15)

Stoneclaw, Emmi
This woman was married to Arn Stoneclaw. They lived on the planet Vernet with their adopted daughter Mair Koda and their own sons, Kristoff anf Yuri. (SWJ15)

Stoneclaw, Kristoff
This older son of Arn and Emmi Stoneclaw, Kristoff was conscripted into the Imperial armed forces when the Empire took control of his homeworld of Vernet. Much to the dismay of his younger brother, Yuri, Kristoff welcomed the Empire and embraced the New Order. When Yuri and their adopted sister, Mair Koda, tried top break Kristoff out of Imperial service, he calmly explained his choice to stay before trying to hold them at gunpoint and turn them in as traitors to the Empire. Mair managed to rescue Yuri before Kristoff could shoot him. (SWJ15)

Stoneclaw, Yuri
This fifteen-year-old boy was was the younger son of Arn and Emmi Stoneclaw. Yuri loved his older brother, Kristoff, and was saddened when Kristoff was conscripted by the Empire. He begged his adopted sister, Mair Koda, to help him rescue Kristoff, only to learn that Kristoff had embraced the Empire. When Kristoff threatened to shoot him for betraying the Empire, Mair rescued Yuri and took him away from Vernet. She took Yuri under her wing, and employed him as a crewman aboard the Blue Boy. (SWJ15)

Stone-dwellers
This was the term used to describe those wealthy individuals who lived in The Stones section of the city of Iritsa, on Chazwa. (ND)

Stonefield, Eron
This strikingly beautiful, red-haired woman was an unseasoned bounty hunter who took up the trade during the height of the New Order. An expert in several forms of martial arts, Stonefield was among the small group of hunters that were hired by Eugene Talmont to locate Han Solo, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, so that Talmont could use the prestige of capturing Solo to gain a better posting than Tatooine. Despite growing up during the early years of the New Order, Stonefield didn't always agree with the Emperor and his edicts. It was Stonefield who managed to infiltrate one of the outer buildings of Jabba's palace, just before locating the Millennium Falcon. However, Jabba's thugs had arrived first, and Solo was in custody. Rather than return empty-handed, Stonefield kidnapped Grubba the Hutt and held the young alien as a hostage, hoping to exchange the young Hutt for Solo. (MIS5)

Stonehill Industries
Makers of asteroid ships. (HTTE)

Stones, The
This section of the city of Iritsa, on Chazwa, was the home to the wealthier inhabitants of the city. Its buildings were permanent, windowless structures of gray and red stone, and were in sharp contrast to the ramshackle construction of The Clog. (ND)

Stoneshell
This species of mollusk was native to the lakes of Dellalt. (HSL)

Stonesinger
The immature form of the Vaathkree, Stonesingers resemble large pebbles. They were often mistaken for stones by off-worlders, so Stonesinger colonies were often guarded by mature Vaathkree. Each Stonesinger took twenty years to mature, and each Stonesinger must choose their permanent form before aging. The Stonesinger then concentrates on the final form and continues to grow until it can no longer manipulate its shape. (TTSB)

Stoneskin Hanadak
This species of hanadak was named for its thick, pebbly skin. (SWG2P)

Stonia
This was the capital city of the planet Almania, and was a Je'Har stronghold and the seat of their government. Wondrous buildings filled the city, but all were destroyed when Dolph launched his initial attack. His droids, with their hidden detonators, exploded within many of the Je'Har buildings, laying waste to many structures and killing all but the leaders of the city. (TNR)

Stonn, Li
Luke Skywalker used this alias during his travels with Akanah and their search for the Fallanassi. (SOL)

Stoolie, Keezo
This male Weequay was a prisoner at the Oovo IV prison facility during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. Governor Kucheel had placed a bounty on Stoolie's head shortly after his arrest, in connection with the damage his gang caused during a Millennium celebration. This damage led to Stoolie's arrest, but Kucheel demanded more justice, and hoped to capture Stoolie as soon as he was released. Kucheel discovered that he wouldn't have to wait that long because, shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Jango Fett claimed the bounty on Stoolie's head during his attempt to "rescue" Bendix Fust. (BH)

Stoopa
This was the Huttese word for "fool," or any foolish being. The term could be used as a singular or plural noun, depending on the context in which it was used. It was sometimes misspelled when written phonetically as stupa. (GMR5, GPB, SWLG)

Stop Comm Order
This order was issued by the Old Republic's Central Posting Service whenever a criminal or organization was removed from the current list of wanted beings. A Stop Comm Order was usually issued once a criminal was apprehended, but could be issued indefinitely as part of a wider police operation. (JQ8)

Stopa, Kroddok
This Obroan Institute scientist and explorer was named the expedition chief when the New Republic required information on the planet Brath Qella. Stopa had been working with Josala Krenn on Babali when the orders came through, and they were brought to Brath Qella by the ferret ship IX-26. They lacked decent cold-weather exploration gear, and requested a backup be sent. They then set to work trying to uncover possible evidence of a Qella settlement beneath the glaciers covering the planet, but were killed when their camp was destroyed in an avalanche. Their bodies were recovered by the crew of the Penga Rift. (SOL)

Stopa-Krenn Glacier
Located on the planet Brath Qella - also known as Maltha Obex - this huge ice flow was the site of an avalanche that killed Kroddok Stopa and Josala Krenn. They had arrived on the planet to search out evidence of the Qella civilization, but were buried under ice and snow in the avalanche. The glacier was renamed in their honor by the Alpha Team from the Obroan Institute. (TT)

Stop-chrono
This was a specialized form of chrono that could be used to measure a specific period of time, such as one lap around a race course, while keeping track of the duration of an entire event. Once started, the stop-chrono kept track of total time on one set of dials, while intermediate times could be tracked on another dial. (CWNOP)

Stop-Net
This incredibly strong netting was used at starports and landing fields, where it could be deployed to catch a crash-landing starship. Stop-Nets were designed to stretch, but not break, under intense pressure and strain, such as that encountered when an out-of-control starship left a runway and threatened a populated area. (HSR)

Stopshort
This slang term was commonly used in the Elrood Sector of the galaxy to describe the planet Torina, which was the penultimate world on the Elrood-Derilyn Run before Derilyn itself. Thus, Torina was one stop short of the end. (PG3)

Stor
This man trained at the Imperial Academy on Carida, and was a model student until graduation. Stor was given command of his cadet company, and forgot to keep an eye on the Cliffside walkway. The entire front rank of cadets walked off the cliff before Stor realized that he had mistimed the turn. He was dishonorably discharged from Imperial service. (SFE)

Storinal
This beautiful world was loyal to the Empire, even in the wake of the Battle of Endor. The natives believed that they were put on the planet to make it beautiful, and worked tirelessly to sculpt and shape the landscape into wondrous gardens and forests. The planet's landscaping and natural beauty made it a tourist attraction. (WS)

Storini Crystal Deceiver
This creature was dreamed up by Garik Loran and Kell Tainer, in an effort to get back at Eurrsk Thri'ag for his many pranks and practical jokes. Kell doctored up an encyclopedia entry for the Storini Glass Prowler, then let a prowler loose in Eurrsk's rooms. According to Kell's entry, the deceiver was virtually identical to the Storini Glass Prowler, except that it was far less common and far more dangerous. Found on the planet Storinal, the crystal deceiver's jaws secrete a poison that was quite dangerous to mammalian creatures. Its favorite prey were the creatures which eat the glass prowler, so the crystal deceiver mimics the prowlers actions in order to lure the hunters to it. As the hunters try to eat what they believe was a prowler, the deceiver attacks with its poisonous jaws. Crystal deceivers were extermely dangerous to mammals, because once a deceiver had the scent of a mammal, it retains it virtually forever, and continues to track the mammal down and hunt it. Large, healthy mammals such as humans often don't feel the effects of the deceiver's poison. (WS)

Storini Glass Prowler
This crystalline arthropod walked on two legs, and used its other two legs to grasp its prey. It was native to the planet Storinal, and was harmless to most creatures. The males of the species were extremely competitive, and wouldl fight to the death over just about anything. (WS, SOC, NEGD)

Storm
This mercenary ATR-6 transport was owned a mercenary group which tried to bring down Twin Suns Transport Services and the Azzameen family. (XWA)

Storm
This gas giant was the fifth and outermost planet of the Naboo System. It had 32 natural satellites, two of which were settled. The third moon was set up as a penal colony by the human inhabitants of the planet Naboo, while the tenth moon was the site of a TaggeCo mining operation. (SON)

Storm
This was the name of Prince Isolder's custom-modified Miy'til fighter, designed by Isolder himself. The creation of Storm cost Isolder nearly a half-million credits, but the ship can stand alone against some of the galaxy's best starfighters. Many of Isolder's designs later found their ways into future versions of the Miy'til fighter. Like the Miy'til basic design, the seven-meter-long ship had a number of miniaturized components that reduce weight and overall size. Storm was also equipped with a prototype R2-Series 5 astromech droid presented to him by Princess Leia Organa during her initial negotiations with the Hapans. Storm had four banks of Nordoxicon 38 anticoncussion-field generators, and a sensor and communications scrambler similar to the A-Wing. A set of triple-linked laser cannons sits at the nose of the fighter, and an ion cannon studs the tip of each wing. A mini-concussion missile launcher was slung beneath the wing, and twin thermal-detonator bombing tubes on the wings carry eight bombs each. The ship was propelled by four Incom 6X4 fusial thrust engines connected to a Tykannin Class-4 power converter. Each engine was linked to a large Cygnus turbo generator, and the entire engine package allows the Storm to reach speeds one-third faster than the A-Wing. (CPL, EGV)

Storm, Havet
This bold young man was one of the many students who were trained at Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, during the early years of the New Republic. Unfortunately, Havet was the first of his fellow students to recognize that Desann was growing stronger with the Dark Side of the Force, and stood up to the Chistori. Havet's brave move turned foolish when Desaan murdered him in cold blood before fleeing Yavin 4. (WOTC)

Storm, Zogor
This man was living on his homeworld of Naboo, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Storm Banquet
This was the name given to the feast which was held each spring on the planet Kariek. The rains that accompanied the change in season forced the Eickarie and the Lakra underground. Vast chambers were set aside for the banquet, which was held in honor of the change in season and the promise of new crops and herds. (FB)

Storm Beast
This was a vicious creature that was once native to the planet Malachor V, but was twisted by the energy of the Dark Side of the Force when the Sith established a base of power on the planet, in the wake of the Jedi Civil War. (KOTOR2)

Storm Cannon
This was the name given to any mobile weapons platform used for anti-starfighter defenses. (SWJ2)

Storm Commandos
This was a group of Imperial soldiers that was commissioned by Emperor Palpatine himself, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. The Imperial Storm Commandos were trained to speciallize in guerilla warfare and covert operations. They were generally referred to as Shadowtroopers, and were initially trained by Crix Madine at the Caridan Academy, under the direction of Grand Moff Tanniel. Despite the fact that Madine himself defected to the Alliance, the Empire maintained the Storm Commandos because of the niche they filled in the overall Imperial war machine. Storm Commandos were distinguished by their black armor, which was modeled after that of a standard scout trooper. Up to forty Storm Commandos worked as a single unit, divided into four groups per team: standard commandos; assault troops trained for vehicle combat and artillery; soldiers who were experts at sabotage, demolitions and stealth; and a tech team devoted to keeping gear functioning or jury-rigging makeshift supplies. (GG9, ROE, SWDB, SWJ4, OWS)

Storm Fleet
This was the name used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems to describe the secretly- developed fleet of heavily-armored warships they brought to bear against the Old Republic, just months after the Battle of Geonosis. The appearance of the Storm Fleet - its ships were disguised as common freighters to allow them to travel easily across the galaxy - was developed by Kuat Drive Yards and served to reinforce the theory that the Separatists had been building up for war long before the Battle of Geonosis. The Storm Fleet was used to subjugate neutral worlds through sheer destructive capability, allowing the Separatists to take whatever resources or facilities they needed to continue the Clone Wars. The Storm Fleet was ultimately destroyed by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, with the help from their clone trooper pilots. (SS1, LEV)

Storm Guard
This was the primary weather watch operated on Cloud City. It was located in Kerros' Tower. (GG2)

Storm IV
One of Bespin Motor's military model cloud cars, the seven-meter-long Storm IV was a twin-pod car with handling and propulsion characteristics similar to a B-Wing fighter. They were driven by a Quadex Kyromaster ion engine, modified to fit between the small pods. Each pod could hold a single passenger. The Storm IV could reach a maximum cruising speed of 1,500 kilometers per hours, with a flight ceiling of 250 kilometers. They were also armed with two fire-linked blaster cannons, one on the outboard side of each pod. (SWSB, NEGV, JT)

Storm Killer
This heavily-armed YT-1300 freighter had been extensively modified beyond its stock condition. The cockpit had been moved from the right side and nestled in between the forward mandibles. The lower gun was a turret-mounted Tomral heavy laser cannon, while the upper gun was an Incom W-34t turbolaser. This impressive weaponry was supported by a Hi-fex proton torpedo launcher and a pair of restractable Taim & Bak Kd-3 light blaster cannons. It was a well-armed transport ship, with enhanced shields and lateral controls for in-flight combat. The weapons draw power from the ion drives, and the additional capacitors and machinery required for them took up much of the passenger space on the vessel. The Storm Killer was therefore only useful for transporting very valuable cargoes. (SWJ9)

Storm King
This was the title adopted by Doctor Namdaot, after he was possessed on the planet Mustafar, during his excavation of an ancient temple. The Storm King had the ability to alter the weather, as evidenced by his first appearance before his frightened excavation team. However, the team began to slowly die off, with their dead bodies reappearing from the ruins with all the life literally drained out of them. Jural and her brother, Talper, were the only two beings who resisted the Storm King's influence, although Talper was stricken with a wasting disease for his insolence. Relan and another member of Doctor Ithes Olok's excavation team decided to investigate the Storm King's presence on Mustafar, since it coincided with their own research into the existence of a "Force shard." (SWGAL)

Storm Lord
According to reports written by Professor Namdot during the early years of the New Order, the Storm Lord was an evil being who had taken up residence in the forgotten Jedi Temple on Mustafar. The Storm Lord had the ability to generate intense bursts of Force Lightning, which he used to attack any beings who managed to locate in infiltrate the temple grounds. (SWGAL)

Storm Skimmer
Manufactured by Uulshos, the Storm Skimmer patrol sled was an old repulsorlift scout craft used during the early years of the Empire. They were mothballed when the various speederbikes were developed, but were returned to service following the Battle of Endor. Each 4.6-meter sled was designed to be a fast transport craft for one or two stormtroopers. One trooper sat in front, the other in back, and could quickly arrive at the front lines of a battle. Each trooper operated a heavy repeating blaster mounted near his cockpit. It was never designed to be a full-combat vehicle, but rather a deterrent. (DE1, DESB)

Storm Squadron
This was a division of the Alliance's Special Forces group known as Eclipse Team. (AIR)

Storm Unit
This group of Imperial commandos was intercepted by Keyan Farlander near Turkana. (XW)

Storm Unit
This team of Alliance soldiers and commandos was trained to carry out infiltration and boarding missions against Imperial targets. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, the Storm Unit was instrumental in the recovery of Imperial data from the corvette Talon. Later, the Storm Unit was the primary part of a strike force which rescued a group of Echo Base prisoners from Imperial captivity, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWP, XWA)

Storm Unit
This was the primary troop transport ship that was by the Alliance's Storm Unit commandos, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. (XWP)

Storm Unit 1
This assault transport vessel was part of the Alliance task force that was sent to attack Admiral Zaarin's beam-weapon research station, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. The Storm Unit 1 and her sister ship, the Storm Unit 2, were both destroyed by Maarek Stele and his wingmen. (TIE, TIEP)

Storm Unit 2
This assault transport vessel was part of the Alliance task force that was sent to attack Admiral Zaarin's beam-weapon research station, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. The Storm Unit 2 and her sister ship, the Storm Unit 1, were both destroyed by Maarek Stele and his wingmen. (TIE, TIEP)

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

The Storm was a section of the course that was covered with ion energy projectors that were programmed to shoot out jets of pure energy at random intervals. Racers could not anticipate the jets, and had to rely on their reactions and piloting skills to avoid them. Any swoop that was hit by an ion jet was temporarily disabled, forcing its rider to the ground. (JST3)

Stormcaller, Andrephan
This native of Entralla joined the military at the age of fifteen, lying about his age in order to joint the Old Republic's armed forces. Never far from the military, Stormcaller was a member of the Delephran militia, and participated in the destruction of the pirate groups in the Vexta Belt. Stormcaller and Airen Cracken were generally credited with the formation of the Alliance's Special Forces division, and Stormcaller was instrumental in the development of the Infiltrator units. He later served as a colonel in the New Republic and was the leader of the Red Alpha unit, until the Republic declined to assist his homeworld liberate itself from the Pentastar Alignment. He resigned his military position and formed the Red Moons, an elite mercenary group which constantly thwarted the Alignment's movements. He recruited many of his former Republic soldiers to join the Red Moons, and they quickly formed a force that began to harass the Alignment. (SWJ3, SWJ8, TFE, AIR)

Stormclaw
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer was attacked by pirates near Jjannex II. Dren Jamer discovered the location of the pirate ship just before it attacked, allowing the commander to prepare for the attack and drive the pirates off. (TBSB)

Stormhawk
An Imperial-I class Star Destroyer, the Stormhawk was part of Grand Admiral Thrawn's fleet during the early years of the New Republic. The Stormhawk was one of the Star Destroyers that Thrawn used to attack Bpfassh, as one of his first moves against the New Republic. Later, the Stormhawk was deployed to the planet Saarn, in an effort to destroy an old Alliance base there. (HTTE)

Stormhawk
This was one of the many Victory-class Star Destroyers which were still active, as part of the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Stormies
This was the not-so-popular nickname used to describe the troopers of the 967 Commando unit, after they were assigned to the Galactic Alliance Guard, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The nickname referred to the general population's belief that the 967 Commando were no better than the Imperial stormtroopers that served under Darth Vader during the era of the New Order. (LF2)

Stormswimmer
This modified Corellian Engineering Corporation CR-90 corvette served as the flagship of the Black Hammer pirates. (CCW)

Storm-swimming
This unusual sport was popular among the Nautolan people of Glee Anselm, and involved moving through the planet's oceans during the intense hurricanes and storms that ravaged its surface. During these storms, ocean currents reached incredible speeds, and Nautolans challenged each other to remain within the currents for as long as possible. (TCD)

Stormtracker
This was the generic term used to describe any sensor system that monitored the local weather patterns and provided forecasts on upcoming weather events. (LJ6)

Stormtrooper
These white-armored Imperial troopers were the footsoldiers of the Emperor's war machine. Considered separate from both the Imperial Army and the Imperial Navy, they were extremely loyal to the Empire but were also extremely expendable. The stormtrooper evolved from the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, which were first utilized during the Clone Wars. Although there were many rumors about stormtroopers being clones of Jango Fett, in general the average stormtrooper appeared to be a normal human male who fit within a certain physical and mental profile. In reality, several different sources of clones were used to create stormtroopers, especially when the Empire ramped up its military forces when Emperor Palpatine began consolidating his power. The Jango Fett clones were the first, but eventually baseline humans were conscripted or allowed to join the ranks of the stormtroopers.

Each stormtrooper battalion contained 820 soldiers, and was virtually self-sufficient. There were no separate staff officers for the battalion, making it a pure fighting unit. They wear an 18-piece suit of white armor covering a two-piece, temperature-control body suit. The armor houses an energy source and various implements, and snaps together around the trooper. The helmet contains a polarized visor and communication gear. The utility belt worn at the waist had compartments for a grappling line, spare batteries, and survival gear. The image of the white-clad soldiers was one of the primary ways the Empire instilled fear in its subjects, but the bright white armor was not suited for many environments, as the Empire learned at the Battle of Endor. In the years following the death of the Emperor, Imperial factions began camouflaging their armor to blend in with their surroundings. Stormtroopers train for one of a number of different mission profiles, based on the environment in which they will operate.

Basic training allowed stormtroopers to operate in temperate or controlled interior environments, but there were several specialized types of stormtroopers: Cold Assault Troops wear specially-modified armor so that they can operate in harsh, frozen environments; Zero-G Troops, also known as spacetroopers, wear highly-refitted, vacuum-resistant armor for use in deep space; Scout troops were assigned to garrison posts, employing speeder bikes and other swift craft to patrol surrounding areas; Aquatic Assault troopers, also known as seatroopers, were equipped to operate in marine or other underwater arenas; Desert Assault troopers, also known as sandtroopers, were trained to do battle in the harsh conditions of a desert; Radtroopers were specially-trained to perform operations in areas with high concentrations of radioactivity. Shadowtroopers, also known as the Storm Commandoes, were among the most elite special forces troops in the Imperial military. The one exception to the standard stormtrooper was the Dark Trooper, which was a mechanized weapons platform.

In the decades following the Yuuzhan Vong War, the stormtroopers of the Imperial Remnant remained a fixture in the military, and even the venerated 501st Legion remained in active duty through the era of the Sith-Imperial War. By this time, however, the Empire had begun to welcome non-humans into its military, so the traditional armor and weaponry of a stormtrooper began to change in order to accommodate the physical needs of different races. (E4, SWSB, ISB, DF, DSTC, TME, COTF, BW, ROE, CHRN, RESB, SWI76, NEGW, SWI82, SWLH, CN1)

Stormtrooper Command
This was the division of the Imperial armed forces' leadership that controlled the deployment and maintenance of the various stormtrooper units that were dispatched throughout the galaxy. (A)

Stormtrooper Two
This was SoroSuub's second-generation blaster rifle, designed for use by Imperial stormtroopers. (GG9)

Stormtrooper X
This was the monicker of a rogue Imperial stormtrooper who took up a life of crime after defecting from Imperial service. He gathered to himself a band of mercenaries and outlaws, each of which was as deadly a shot and as mean as he was. They worked for many crimelords as hired guns and smugglers, until Narbuj Desilijic Preor put out a bounty on his head. Narbuj accused Stormtrooper X of stealing a cache of spice and credits, but Stormtrooper X disappeared from sight. He was known to have traveled in a modified N-1 fighter named Rogue Imperial 5, and had a red 'X' painted across the front of his stormtrooper helmet. (GMR6)

Stormview Lounge
Located on Darknon Station, this rundown tavern was the main source of food and beverages for visitors. It was named for the views it gave visitors of the Itani Nebula, although by the time of the Battle of Yavin most of the transparisteel windows had been boarded up. (PSPG)

Stormwind
This Victory-class Star Destroyer was under the command of Captain Jarroth during the Galactic Civil War. It was stationed in the Virgillian System, and performed a number of surgical strikes aimed at routing suspected Alliance support cells. (TBSB)

Stormwing
This fleft-wauf was bonded to the Wind Raider known as Jeru, during the era of the Clone Wars. When Separatist forces arrived at Taloraan and began to occupy the planet's floating cities, the Wind Raiders remained hidden from view. When Separatist droid starfighters began to patrol the gas giant's clouds, however, the Wind Raiders and their fleft-wauf were forced to carry out reconnaissance missions to understand their capabilities. During one of these missions, Jeru saw Ahsoka Tano try to fly a fleft-wauf, only to be shot down by a droid starfighter. Jeru and Stormwing managed to catch Ahsoka before she fell to her death. (CWWRT)

Storpa
When translated into Basic, this Bocce verb meant "to stop". (GPB)

Stouff, Galdos
This being was training as a Jedi Padawan, apprenticed to Sora Bulq during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Stouff accompanied his Master to Geonosis to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi, and was one of the many Jedi who particpated in the Battle of Geonosis. (IWE2)

Stouker Concussion Rifle
This weapon was developed to fire compressed bullets of ionized air, which exploded in shock waves at their target. They were originally created for use by Imperial forces, but many Stoukers were modified by hand by the Sissk band of Trandoshans, from standard Stouker concussion chambers added to existing rifle parts, in order to accommodate the Trandoshan hand. (DF, JKA)

Stovax
This planet was on the list of candidates for exploration by the Obroan Institute, and was nominated by Kroddok Stopa. However, Stopa could generate enough interest, grants or funding to launch an expedition. (SOL)

Strako
This was one of the largest cities found on the planet Loovria. (HNN5)

Strange, Jan
This woman was one of Imperial Intelligence's most valuable agents, although no one was ever sure where she had come from. She didn't graduate from the Imperial Academy, nor was she ever involved with COMPNOR. Nevertheless, she proved herself to be an excellent agent who could interrogate any being and discover the location of rebellious cells. In reality, though, Strange was actually the Alliance agent Jan Ors, who had been honored with the Nebula Award at least once for her work as Jan Strange. She used her interrogations as a way to pass information to the Alliance, having arranged for the rebel to be captured and brought to her. (CRO, WOTC)

Stranger Squadron
One of the TIE Defender squadrons dispatched by Colonel Vessery to recover Rogue Squadron above Corvis Minor Five. (IR)

Strangle Vine
see Halkra (SPG)

Stranglethorn
This carnivorous vine was native to the Forest Moon of Endor. In its immature stage, the stranglethorn was an unassuming little plant, and was often cultivated by mistake by the Ewoks. As it grew, the stranglethorn developed a central stalk and a pair of toothed mandibles, which it used to grab and eat its prey. (ECAR)

Strangle-vine
This was a species of long, trailing vines that grew in the jungles of the planet Tenupe. These vines were named for the way in which strands were able to contract when a creature made contact with them, often capturing a creature in a strangle hold. (DN3)

Strapper Tape
This was a form of adhesive tape that could be used for any number of tasks, from sealing ductwork to repairing holes in clothing to securing one object to another. (FJ1)

Strask
This Bothan name was given to newborn males. Translated into Basic, it meant "scholarly" or "educated." (GCG, WOTC)

Strassa
This was one of the many Imperial escort carriers during the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Stratablock 7
Located next to the Moridebo District, on the planet Metellos, Stratablock 7 was one of the many surface communities that sprang up to handle the rampant overcrowding experienced on the planet. However, Stratablock 7 only admitted the wealthiest of the "groundpounders", and was home to both the CarsinShare and Nonsu corporations. (CCW)

Stratagems of the Inquisitorius
This was considered the working manual of the Imperial Inquisitors who served Emperor Palpatine during the height of the New Order. The tome was written by Grand Inquisitor Torbin, and described a great number of practices and procedures that had proven effective during interrogations and torture sessions. (NEGD)

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

Strategic Planning Forum
This was the primary command center of the munitions manufacturing operation that was established by the Verpine in the Nickel One asteroid. (LF9)

Strather
This alien race was first discovered by Duros explorers. (GMR2)

Strathmore, Eriann
A model Imperial citizen during the New Order, Lady Strathmore despised the weak and the non-human. She was also somewhat addicted to gambling, and spent a good deal of her life trying to get into the Sabre Club. (WSV)

Strati
This inept man was part of the rebel underground which opposed the Imperial subjugation of Edan II. (IAG)

Stratis
This was the alias assumed by Kinman Doriana, when he served as the military liaison between Darth Sidious and Vicelord Siv Kav, during the mission to eliminate the Outbound Flight project. In the guise of Stratis, Doriana struggled to control Kav's impetuous command style, especially when Special Task Force One encountered the small picket force led by Field Commander Thrawn. After Thrawn successfully took control of Kav's droid starfighters and used them against him, Stratis found himself suddenly without a way to complete his mission. He knew that Sidious would kill him instantly if he failed, so he concocted a story that might help him gain some support from Thrawn. Thrawn, however, saw through his lies, and demanded to know the truth. Stratis took Thrawn aside and revealed his true identity and the nature of his mission. He told Thrawn about Sidious' fear of an invasion by the Far Outsiders, which was enough to convince Thrawn to help. (OF)

Stratis Games
This collection of quasi-athletic events was regularly held on Hallrin IV. It included the Multi-Sentient Unarmed Combat Rounds, a regulated form of inter-species combat. (LCSB, TTSB)

Strato-hopper
This large, armed airspeeder was developed by the Empire for use in navigating troops to the surface of a planet, where harsh or inhospitable conditions prevented the use of simpler dropships. Strato-hoppers proved too cost-prohibitive to maintain, however, and were eventually dropped in favor of cheaper dropships. (PZZ2)

Stratos
This was one of the original cloud cars produced by Incom Industries, based on the repulsorlift technologies discovered during the construction of Cloud City. (GG2)

Stratosphere
One of the most affordable hotels on Cloud City. (ISU)

Stratt
This was one of the many species of vermin which existed in the cityscape of Coruscant. When they were first born, stratts resembled cute balls of fur. However, they grew rapidly to become two-meter-long, muscular creatures which were covered with jet-black fur. Originally brought to Coruscant by illicit pet dealers trying to make a quick credit, stratts were abandoned when they outgrew their cute stage. These released stratts found a niche in the undercity of Coruscant, hunting at night when their black fur gave them the most cover. (CCW)

Stratus, Alto
This Jabiimite led the faction of his people that decided to side with the Separatists during the height of the Clone Wars. His parents were killed when the Lythian Pirates ravaged much of Jabiim, and Stratus never forgot that neither the Republic nor the Jedi Knights traveled to Jabiim to eliminate the pirates. Years later, Stratus still harbored a deep-seated resentment toward the Republic, which only intensified with the outbreak of the Clone Wars. Citing the Republic's inability to reach peaceful resolution to the hostilities, Stratus demanded that Jabiim secede from the Republic and thrown off it's oppressive yoke. He further blamed the Republic as well as the Jedi Knights for not assisting Jabiim during the outbreak of Brainrot Plague and the separate invasions of Trandoshans and the Lythian Pirates. His speeches, in which he declared that Jabiim would fight to the death to defend its freedom, and would "send the Jedi home in body bags", became popular on many Separatist-held worlds in the Outer Rim Territories. During the Battle of Jabiim, Stratus and his rebels nearly won through the front lines of the Jedi-led clone troopers, killing more than 9,000 Republic forces before he was nearly defeated by a group of Jedi Padawans whose Masters had been killed in battle. He chose to regroup the Jabiimite forces and launch an all-out attack at Cobalt Station. He believed that his chances for success were excellent, especially after Count Dooku dispatched a squadron of enhanced assassin droids to augment Stratus' forces. However, he didn't count on the strength of will of the Jedi Padawans who had survived the battle. His forces struggled with the young Jedi for several days before both sides were wiped out. In the final act of the battle, Aubrie cornered Stratus with a pair of lightsabers. Stratus refused to die, and pulled out a blaster to shoot the young Jedi in the chest. As she died, however, Aubrie fell forward and drove her lightsabers into his chest. Stratus also died on the battlefield. (SWI68, SWI69, RBJ)

Streak
This was a nickname used to describe the Wookiee Jedi Knight, Lowbacca, during his tenure as a pilot in the New Republic Navy's Twin Suns Squadron. (SBS, Y)

Streaked Velker
Similar in many respects to the true velkers of Bespin, the streaked velker was nevertheless much smaller than its cousin. Measuring just twenty meters across its wings, streaked velkers were named for the striated pattern of colors which adorned their hides. Scientists believed that the stripes and patterns were a rudimentary form of camouflage, meant to hide the streaked velker among the clouds of the gas giant planets they inhabited. Unlike the velkers of Bespin, streaked velkers were solidatry predators who jealously guarded their hunting territories. (WOTC)

Streamdrinker
This Tynnan represented his homeworld of Tynna to the Galactic Senate, during the final years of the Old Republic. He was also one of the many Senators who signed the Petition of the Two Thousand. In the wake of the Clone Wars and the establishment of the New Order, Senator Streamdrinker was among the sixty-three Senators who were arrested for allegedly supporting the so-called Jedi Rebellion. (SWI84)

Streeg, Newen
This Imperial Governor was in control of the territory surrounding the Sisar Run during the last years of the New Order. Unlike most other ranking Imperial officials, Streeg never attended the Imperial Academy and had minimal ties to the Navy. His mother was killed when he was thirteen, and had already accepted the New Order as a perfect government. He knew that his mother had been killed by pirates, and blamed her death on the chaos that sprang out of the last days of the Old Republic. He traveled his territory only irregularly, as he suffered from spacesickness. He was sworn to removing the criminal element along the Sisar Run, but had no idea how widespread Sprax's empire actually, nor how well it was connected. In fact, Streeg purchased nearly all his starship replacement parts - and many new starships - from one of Sprax's own organizations. (SSR)

Streen
This man was a loner who worked as a gas prospector at Bespin, during the height of the New Order. Unlike other prospectors who continually monitored cloud movements and electromagnetic discharges to stay ahead of Bespin's storms, Streen seemed to simply sense when a storm was approaching, and moved out of the way to avoid damage before returning to harvest the upwelling of gases that followed. This ability attracted the notice of Luke Skywalker, who began to search for new students to attend his Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, during the early years of the New Republic.

Streen was past middle age when first encountered Luke and Gantoris at Tibannopolis. Streen explained to Master Skywalker that his isolation was self-imposed, because he found he could hear the minds of other beings around him. He was especially hard-hit during the Imperial occupation of Cloud City and the subsequent outser of Imperial forces in the wake of the Battle of Endor. This constant babble of telepathic input threatened his sanity, so Streen struck out to make his way on Tibannopolis. He agreed to study the Force with Luke on Yavin 4, and was nearly consumed by the spirit of Exar Kun after Gantoris was killed. Kun tried to use Streen to kill Luke, but Streen fought back, and the combined power of the students destroyed Kun's spirit forever. It was then that Streen discovered his unique connection to the Force allowed him to feel and adapt the patterns of the weather.

When the Leviathan of Corbos was unearthed, Streen traveled to the planet with Kyp Durron, Dorsk 82, and Kirana Ti to defat the creature. Streen later put his powers to use in an attempt to decipher the Books of Massassi, and eventually became a Master himself when Luke went off in search of his mother with Akanah. Streen continued to serve as a Jedi Master during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, but chose to remain behind the battlelines as a teacher. He traveled with the youngest of the Jedi trainees aboard the Errant Venture until a temporary base was established at the Maw Installation.

Streen was ultimately one of the handful of Jedi Knights to survive the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, choosing to travel to Dathomir with Kirana Ti and Damaya to help establish a Jedi training facility on the planet. (JS, COTF, BTS, JAL, UF)

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

Streen Squadron
This was a group of scout troopers dispatched by the Empire to overtake the New Republic base on Saarn, shortly after the re-appearance of Grand Admiral Thrawn. (SWJ6)

Street of Glory
This wide avenue, located in the city of Theed on Naboo, was the site of a Trade Federation concentration camp following the invasion of Naboo. (IOT)

Streeto, Pindy
This woman lived in the city of Tolea Biqua, in orbit around the planet Genarius, during the final years of the Old Republic. She was once a member of the Rancor Riders, until she was approached by Zelice Sturm. Sturm, who had adopted the guise of the Black Queen, paid Pindy to serve as her link to the Rancor Riders, before paying her even more to leave Cularin for good. Sturm then adopted the alias of Pindy Streeto, and contacted by the Almas Academy, shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars.

As Pindy, she claimed to have information about the whereabouts of the Black Queen, and agreed to sell her information to the Jedi of Almas for 3,000 credits, which she planned to use to start a new life. However, when a group of freelance agents and Jedi arrived to meet with her, Pindy was apparently kidnapped by elements of the Black Queen's gang. It was only much later that it was learned that this Pindy was actually Zelice Sturm herself, hoping to lure the agents into her trap. (JCT3)

Streev, Mika
This native of the planet Rabaan was the world's premier warrior during the Galactic Civil War, and had earned the sunburst sigil his people bestowed on combat artists. He defeated Andos Delvaren in single combat, earning the position of champion of the planet Rabaan, and was the chosen fighter whenever a dispute arose with the S'krrr. However, Mika's abilities and energies were solely directed at fighting and his personal image. When it came to politics, love, or other activities, Mika either didn't care or wasn't interested in interrupting his training to bother. Many of his rivals hoped to exploit this trait, but couldn't. It was Mika who was chosen to battle the S'krrr Sh'shak, and he was accompanied to the Combat Moon by his lover and fellow warrior, Leda Kyss. While there, they discovered that Andos had led Imperial forces to the moon, in an attempt to instigate a war between Rabaanite and S'krrr. Mika was forced to kill the Imperial trooper named Jan, and would have killed Andos had he not fled in terror. Streev then had to get Sh'shak to halt the Combat and confront the Imperials. He managed to do this just as Modigal Glave shot Sh'shak. Streev fired at the Imperials, scattering them and saving Sh'shak. The Imperial regrouped and captured them. They were nearly rescued by an Alliance X-Wing pilot (who looks a lot like Wedge Antilles), and Mika managed to cut off Glave's arm. However, Glave shot and killed Leda with his other hand while escaping into his own ship. Streev and Sh'shak fled the Combat Moon and agreed to join the Alliance after they hunted down Delvaren and Glave. (SWJ9)

Strego, Renna
This smuggler captain owned the Star Traveler, and was based on Nar Shaddaa during the early years of the New Order. (THG)

Strelk
This man served the Empire as a Captain in the military, and was in command of the IMIIF-138 training facility on Sirpar, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ2)

Streln
This Imperial Corporal was part of the design team which created the YI-5 surveillance and investigation droid. When Ysanne Isard, the Director of the Imperial Security Bureau, discovered that the YI-5 had one red sensor eye and one blue sensor eye, she ordered Streln and his fellow engineers - Vypass and Gonrey - to be executed for insubordination. Only the effectiveness of the YI-5 in bringing Vune Willic to justice, coupled with the assurances of Imperial engineers, caused Isard to rescind the termination orders. (PH)

Strength of Age
This was the Basic translation of the religious tenet held by the Klatooinan race. To the Klatooinans, time was a potent symbol, as embodied by the Fountain of the Ancients. The fact that the fountainonly grew larger and stronger with time made it an even more powerful symbo, embodying the Strength with Age belief. (NEGA)

Stress Crystallization
This was a term used to describe the damage that can occur to a starship's delicate components, when the ship as a whole was subjected to intense gravitational pressures during desparate maneuvers. The fatigued metal in mountings and casings would literally transmute into a crittle, crystalline structure that could fail at any time. (LCF)

Stresscrete
An inexpensive building material. (AS)

Stretchcloth
This durable fabric was known for its ability to stretch and conform to almost any shape. It was used to create clothing that could fit a variety of body shapes and sizes from a single pattern, although it could also be used to create costumes and accessories like gloves and hats. (LF1)

Streysal Island
see Streysel Island (WOTC)

Streysel Island
This island, located in the Vaynai Archipelago on the planet Vaynai, was owned by Gallo Memm during the height of the New Order. Note that this location was also designated as Streysal Island. (GMR8)

Striber
This was the rarest of the Iskalonian species, and was native to the planet Julsujod III. The Stribers were distinguished by their smooth and finless bodies, with crystal-blue skin and thin bodies. These Iskalonians were also telepathic, but could also communicate via normal speech. They also chose their words wisely when answering a question, choosing to review all aspects of a situation before acting. To many, this made the Stribers appear less intelligent that other Iskalonians, since there was a noticeable pause before the answered. As a species, the Stribers were slowly dying out, and many xenobiologists felt that the Striber race would become extinct within a few generations after the Galactic Civil War. (EGA, GMR1)

Stribos System
A planetary system located near the Demophon System, it was largely uninhabited when Soron Hegerty discovered it while searching for a suitable world on which to relocate the Ssither. (SN)

Strident
This modified Imperial Nebulon-B frigate was destroyed during the Galactic Civil War, when it was ambushed by Captain Kuuztin. (TIE)

Strident-class Star Defender
Produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, this was one of the first Star Defender ships produced for the New Republic. Although only a handful of these vessels saw active duty during the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, many found their way into the small naval fleet that was amassed by Thrackan Sal-Solo, in the years following the invasion. Many of them were refitted at the Kiris Shipyards, in preparation for a possible Corellian secession from the Galactic Alliance. (JE, LF1)

Strider
This species of tall, thin-limbed creatures was native to the planet Khomm. It was once wild, but centuries of cloning by the Khommites created striders which were meek and passive. Striders were raised for their milk, which could be churned into butter or curdled to make a delicious cheese. (EGP, OWS)

Strider
A six-legged reptilian creature native to the planet Sedesia, striders were used as mounts and transports because the planet's high gravity prohibited most forms of repulsorlift vehicles. (SWJ6)

Strider
This was another name for an Imperial AT-ST scout walker. (CPL)

Strider
This species of two-legged predator was native to the planet New Plympto. (CCW)

Strider Seven
This was the designation of the AT-ST that first located Han Solo and Leia Organa on Dathomir, when they arrived on the planet several years after the Battle of Endor. (CPL)

Striil
This was the Mandalorian name for the strill. (OWS)

Striilir
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian verb meant "to trail" or "to track." (OWS)

Strike
This group of Alliance Y-Wings supported the Tela, and was stationed aboard the frigate Xerxes during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. The Vite shuttles were attacked by Imperial forces that supported the Habeen. (TIE, TIEP)

Strike Bomber
see Belbullab-22 (LAWS)

Strike Foil
This was another name for a starfighter's S-foil. (SWTJ)

Strike Formation
This starfighter attack pattern involved grouping a large number of fighters into a single unit, in order to attack an enemy vessel. This formation took advantage of the combined firepower of the ships in the group, while leaving them exposed to enemy fire. (SSOG)

Strike the Moons Flightknife
Led by Liak ke Mattino, this Adumari fighter group was the first to offer a simulated battle challenge to Wedge Antilles and Red Flight, during the negotiations between Adumar, the New Republic, and the Empire. Once Red Flight had scored kills with low-powered lasers on the Strike the Moons Blade-32 ships, Wedge offered them another chance at the duel. This was not standard protocol, but neither were simulated kills. Liak ke Mattino and his group accepted, and they continued to learn from Red Flight's tactics. When Red Flight was exiled by perator Pekaelic ke Teldan at the insistence of Tomer Darpen, the Strike the Moons Flightknife assisted them in leaving Cartann City. (SOA)

Strikebirds
This gang operated from a base on Ragith III, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (DSTR)

Strikebreaker
This TaggeCo riot patrol vehicle was a heavily-armored gunship that was designed to frighten rioters off or kill the ones that remained. It measured fourteen meters in length, and required a pilot, co-pilot, and 7 gunners to operate. It could also transport up to forty troops. It was heavily armed, carrying four medium laser cannons, two heavy repeating blasters, a grenade mortar launcher, and a stun barricade. (CSA)

Strike-class Cruiser
A medium-duty battle ship produced by Loronar for the Empire, the Strike-class cruiser had a modular design which allows them to be configured for specific missions. These ships measures 450 meters in length, and could transport enough troops to support an assault company, two AT-STs, one AT-AT, and several support speeders. Slight modifications allowed them to carry a complete squadron of TIE fighters or a planetary assault cruiser packed with five AT-ATs. They were well-armed, carrying 20 turbolasers, 10 turbolaser batteries, 10 ion cannons, and 10 tractor beam projectors. They used 160-SBD shields to protect a 100-RU hull, and had a top speed of 18 MGLT.

Production of the Strike-class cruiser was approved when it was discovered that each of these ships had roughly half the firepower and functionality of a Victory-class Star Destroyer, but at about twenty-five percent of the cost. They were produced in large numbers, and many were eventually stolen or salvaged by the Alliance. The modularity of the interior allowed the Strike-class cruiser to serve many roles in the navies of both sides of the Galactic Civil War, from starfighter transport to assault vessel to supply ship. (HTTE, ISB, TIE, SSOG)

Strikefast

Striker
This was a simple form of projectile handgun developed on the planet Mawan. These pistols were used during the Great Purge. (JQ6)

Striker
This crimelord rose to power on Mawan, in the wake of the Great Purge. He earned the name Striker during his capture of the city of Naatan, when his soldiers used Striker pistols to kill their enemies. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, Striker was one of the three most powerful beings in Naatan, rivalled only by Feeana Tala and Decca. When Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yaddle, and Anakin Skywalker arrived on Mawan to negotiate a settlement between the crimelords, Anakin discovered that Striker was actually his old nemesis, Granta Omega. As Striker, he hoped to lure a member of the Jedi Council to Mawan and kill them, in an effort to impress the Sith Lord he belived to be gathering power in the galaxy. While he did succeed in taking Yaddle's life, the bioweapon he used did nothing to the population of Mawan. When it was revealed that Striker was actually Granta Omega, Decca decided to hedge her bets, and formed an alliance with him. She added her fleet of ships to Omega's weapons, producing a strong opposition to the work of the Jedi Knights. (JQ6)

Striker
This assault shuttle was owned by Ree Shala, during the early years of the New Republic. It was armed with four laser cannons and a tractor beam projector. (SWJ6)

Striker
This was the brand name of Oriolanis Defense Systems' projectile pistol. A primitive though prototypical weapon, the Striker fired a solid bullet at its target, much like a slugthrower. It was known for its durability and availability. (EGW, AEG)

This was a generic term used to describe any small, handheld device that was used to create a flame. (CWWS)

Striker
This group of Y-Wings was part of the Nharwaak task force that attempted to stop the Habeen from selling hyperdrive technology to Admiral Zaarin and the Empire, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. The Striker Y-Wings were eventually destroyed by Maarek Stele and his wingmates, who were part of the Imperial forces that were working with the Habeen. (TIEP)

Striker

Striking Sarlacc
This was one of the attack postures used by the teras kasi martial artform. (DMSH)

Strill
This predatory, hermaphroditic mammal was native to the planet Mandalore, where it was often captured and training as a hunting beast. Note that Republic Commando: Hard Contact indicates that the strill was native to Qiilura. Strills were distinguished by their distintive odor, which many beings found disgusting or noxious. The body of a strill measured about a meter in length, and was covered with folds of loose skin, as was its tail. The huge mouth of a strill was filled with sharp teeth, and exuded huge amounts of drool. The average strill had a lifespan of 200 years or more, depending on the environment in which it lived and many tamed specimens often outlived their Mandalorian handlers.

Many beings believed that a strill seemed ungainly when on the ground, because they had never seen a strill hunt in the wild. Using their legs, strills could climb into trees and wait to ambush their prey. When prey was in reach, a strill would launch itself from its tree, using the folds of skin to form a kind of full-body wing that allowed the strill to glide through the air and direct itself toward its prey. In this way, the strill could overcome the disadvantage of its scent by remaining in a tree, while still being able to attack and kill its prey.

Being hermaphroditic, strills had a strong mothering instinct, and it was not uncommon for a strill to understand when a Mandalorian woman was pregnant, and to anticipate the birth of the woman's child. (OWS, RCHC, RCTZ, RCTC)

String Cheese
This was a popular snack food, made from certain kinds of cheese that formed long strands when pulled apart at room temperature. (LF1)

Strings of Ancestors

Strip, The
This section of Vark Street, located in Takari on the planet Iyuta, was filled with bars and inns which catered to the Imperial forces in the system. (SWCP)

Strip-cam
This specialized form of camera system was developed by the Old Republic military during the early stages of the Clone Wars. As the name implied, a strip-cam was a miniaturized camera system that was contained on a strip of material no thicker than a sheet of flimsiplast. This allowed a strip-cam to be placed atop or on the side of any flat surface, without the obvious node of a camera eye being exposed. Strip-cams continued to evolve over the following decades, becoming smaller and more sensitive, and better able to pick up clearer audio and video. Most strip-cams in use during the years following the Swarm War were about the size of a ticket stub, and were easily disposed once they had transmitted the data they recorded. (SWI81, LF5)

Stripe
This was one of the two domesticated zeles owned by Kirlan Swens, on the planet Dagro, during the height of the Clone Wars. (SWI76)

Stripe
This was one of the clone troopers who served under Captain Rex and Commander Cody at the Republic's listening post on Pastil, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Stripe and his fellow troopers were forced to track down and eliminate the rogue MSE droid known as Rodent, after Rex discovered it was sending coded transmissions to the Separatists. (CWOC1, CWTV05)

She married Heron Strobestock, an officer in the Imperial Army, and worked to ensure that he eventually obtained a position of power within House Barnaba. (LOE)

Strobestock, Heron
This man was a Colonel in the Imperial Army when he married Dame Elspeth of House Barnaba. Despite his low status within House Barnaba - he was awarded knight status after his marriage - Sir Heron was well-regarded by the leaders of House Barnaba, and was believed to have been in line for a barony at the height of the New Order. (LOE)

Stroiketcy
The third planet in the Yavin system, Stroiketcy was often considered to be a large comet or asteroid that had been attracted by the gravity of Yavin and its primary star. Its chemical makeup was almost 94% water, with very little rock showing up in planetary probes. Stroiketcy followed a wild, elliptical orbit, and supported a possible form of organocrystalline life. The name Stroiketcy came from a Corellian term meaning "tailed one." The planet's wildly elliptical orbit actually brought it within the orbit of Yavin for a short time, within 100,000 kilometers of Fiddanl. Note that Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds indicates that Stroiketcy was the second planet in the Yavin System. (GG2, GORW)

Strok
This Imperial Captain served the military under Governor Touno on Svivren, during the last years of the New Order. Touno assigned him to Mara Jade, who was acting as the Emperor's Hand in the elimination of Dequc's Black Nebula empire. Unknown to Mara and Touno, Strok was secretly working as an informant for Dequc. Mara was forced to shoot him in self-defense, after he encountered her on Qiaxx. (MJEH)

Strok
This was a common name given to Zabrak males. Like many Zabrak names, it related to survival characteristics, and meant "axe". (GCG)

Strom
This Imperial Commander maintained a tense, working relationship with Senator Greyshade of The Wheel, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. A tall, bald man with a well-muscled frame, Strom commanded a unique cruiser that resembled a small Star Destroyer with the front third of the ship removed. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Strom's small fleet attacked and destroyed a House of Tagge convoy, in an effort to discredit the Alliance. He used captured Alliance soldiers as evidence, leaving them inside damaged ships and adrift between the, hoping that any eventual rescue mission would see Alliance personnel and immediately assume it was an Alliance attack. Strom's ultimate goal was to rescind the no-fly rules surrounding The Wheel, so that he could take the station's profits for himself and capture the Alliance forces he believed were using The Wheel as a form of sanctuary. When Greyshade managed to capture Strom, he demanded a chance to become Strom's partner in return for Leia Organa. Greyshade took the first opportunity to doublecross Strom, who was drugged before he knew it and awoke to learn that Greyshade had stolen profits Strom had taken from the Tagge transport. In a rage, Strom set out to destroy Greyshade. His plans were utterly smashed when Master-Com discovered the recordings which were hidden inside R2-D2, detailing the Empire's plans to take over The Wheel. When these were broadcast over the station's public communications systems, the gamblers of The Wheel rose up against Strom's forces. Strom himself tried to flee the station, but was killed when he confronted Greyshade one last time. Rather than allow Strom to shoot him dead, Greyshade lobbed a proton grenade at Strom, who died instantly in the blast. (MC18, MC19, MC23)

Strom, Pleth
This man served as a Ensign in the armed forces of the Old Republic, and was one of the many fighter pilots who saw combat during the Clone Wars. Ensign Strom and his wingmate, Erk H'Arman, were part of the team that was dispatched to Praesitlyn, under the command of General Khamar, to protect the Intergalactic Communications Center. Unfortunately, Strom was killed in the initial engagement with the Separatists, presumably after crashing into one of the huge number of droid starships that filled the space above Praesitlyn. (JT)

Strong Arm Droid
This was the name given to the guard droids used by Tig Fromm, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. (OWS)

Stronghold
This cold, rocky world, located in the remote Taldot Sector, was an Alliance safeworld during the Galactic Civil War. Its surface was a rocky collection of mountains and chasms, and was wracked by intense storms. The Alliance formed its base there by gouging out the stone and creating a network of caverns and tunnels. The planet itself had no strategic value, but the families of front-line Alliance soldiers were secreted here during wartime. The transport ship Celestial was bound there when it was overtaken by the prisoners it was transporting. The ship was lost in Otherspace, where the Charon were able to discover the planet's location. The Charon, under the command of the former Grand Moff Ravik, tried to destroy the planet, but were thwarted in their efforts by Alliance agents. The Charon Starship Desolate was nearly destroyed on the planet. There was no known sentient life on Stronghold, and very little plant or animal life survived on the rocky surface. (OS2)

Stroon
The uncaring owner of the Starhunter Intergalactic Menagerie, Stroon and his slavers would capture any being which looked exotic and place it in their "menagerie" for display. (DCAR)

Stroth
This balding, heavy-set man was once the leader of the Crimson Nova chapter of the Bounty Hunter's Guild, during the last decades of the Old Republic. When he got too old to actively participate in hunts, he turned the chapter over to his own apprentice, the Cathar female known as Mika. Many claimed that he lost his nerve when he lost his right arm in a fight with a Jedi, but Stroth only used the experience to deepen his understanding of the galaxy. Stroth remained a leader within the Crimson Nova chapter, tempering Mika's fiery anger with his own patience. When Mika accepted Kh'aris Fenn's contract to hunt down Jedi Knights for the Separatists, Stroth was strongly against the idea, citing decades of bounty hunter policy on the matter. However, his own arguments held little weight with Mika, whose parents had been killed by the Jedi, albeit during an illegal death-stick dealing operation. He correctly assumed that the Jedi would eventually discover the source of the bounties and hunt down Crimson Nova, but Mika refused to back down. When Mace Windu and several other Jedi finally arrived at The Rig, Stroth was forced to stun Mika into submission to ensure that she didn't get herself killed in the fight. He then turned Mika over to the Jedi for questionning, and provided the Jedi with the name of their benefactor, Kh'aris Fenn. Stroth also agreed to terminate the agreement Crimson Nova had with Kh'aris, to put an end to the hunting of the Jedi. (RSF)

Structgel
This material was used to bond pieces of permex and transparisteel. (ML)

Strutter
This was the Ewok name given to those beings who were possessed by the Totem Master. (ECAR)

Stryfe, Darth
This hulking man was one of the new Sith who followed Darth Krayt's leadership, some 130 years after the Battle of Yavin. Darth Stryfe was known as a brutal man who attacked his enemies with intense, raw power. Darth Stryfe assumed the role of Krayt's Fist, after Darth Nihl was promoted to serve as one of Darth Krayt's Hands. He was then dispatched to the planet Ossus with a detachment of Imperial stormtroopers, to investigate the rumor that the Jedi had returned to the planet. Upon reaching Ossus, the stormtroopers found no physical evidence of the Jedi, but Darth Stryfe felt a whisper of their presence, and refused to call off the search. When further searches still came up empty, Darth Stryfe ordered his Imperial forces to open fire on the Jedi Temple building, leveling it to ensure that any being hiding inside was killed. Darth Stryfe was later recalled to Coruscant, where he was promoted to the position of Emperor's Hand, replacing Darth Nihl as one of Darth Krayt's primary agents. (SWLB, SWLH, SWLC, SWLIC)

Stufar's Grand Dancitorium
This upscale establishment was located near the Sovar Imperial Hotel in Equator City, on the planet Rodia. (SESB)

Stuff Cuffs
These binders were used by police and other law enforcement agencies to keep a prisoner from trying to break free of confinement. Where normal binders simply prevented a wide range of movement, stun cuffs would deliver a jolt of electrical energy to the wrists of a being who struggled against them. This jolt was proportional to the strength of the struggling, ensuring that beings remained still. (DN1, DN2, RF1)

Stun Baton
This was Merr-Sonn's version of the stun-stave. (EGW)

Stun Bayonet
This weapon was developed for use by the Senate Guards, during the final decades of the Old Republic. The stun bayonet was a powered blade that could be mounted to the barrel of a blaster rifle. The bayonet's power was self-contained, so that it did not draw power from the rifle itself. When powered off, the stun bayonet could be used like a normal blade, and could be jabbed or poked at a target. When turned on, the stun bayonet could still be used like a blade, but it could also deliver a powerful jolt of electrical energy that could be used to incapacitate an enemy or short-circuit a droid. (SWMW)

Stun Staff
A small, defensive weapons which was used to stun an opponent. (SWJ9)

Stun Steps
This starship security system used the natural electrical conduction properties of steps and ramps to generate an electromagnetic, neuro-shock field. When installed on a starship entry system, stun steps neutralize a being who was trying to steal the starship. Stun steps were installed with remote-activation systems, keeping them separated from the basic starship security systems and ensuring that they remain live even if other security measures were bypassed. (SWJ13)

Stun-and-Run
This was a common nickname used to describe the gladiator sport of swoopdueling. (KOR13)

Stun-rod
This was a form of sword-fighting practice weapon that was used to train soldiers as well as Jedi Knights. The stun-rod delivered an intense electric shock when it struck flesh. The use of stun-rods prevented serious injuries from occurring in training, but drove home the need to improve one's ssword-fighting skills to prevent injuries during actual combat. (DOG)

Stunspore
This plant spore was known for its soporific effect on most humanoid races, which was nearly instantaneous. Any being who inhaled stunspores suddenly lapsed into a coma-like state, stunned and unable to move. (REPL)

Stun-stave
A large, handheld stick which produces a shock when one end it touched to an opponent or victim. (HSE)

Stupa
This was another way to spell the Huttese word stoopa, which referred to an foolish or inane being. (GPB)

Sturm
This was the name of one of Talon Karrde's pet vornskrs. (HTTE)

Sturm, Zelice
This woman was known for her fierce demeanor and her compassion for beings in trouble. Known to many of her beneficiaries as the Black Queen, Sturm was also a Jedi Knight who had left the Order during the last decades of the Old Republic, disgusted with the stagnation that was occurring within the Jedi Order. She had moved dangerously close to falling down a path to the Dark Side of the Force before a group of beings saved her, on orders from the Jedi Council on Coruscant.

As a Jedi Knight, Sturm was known for her ability to detect apparent flaws in the Padawans who were trained on Almas, and often explained to the other teachers that these students were not worthy of becoming Jedi Knights. This earned her the consternation of her fellow Jedi Knights, a situation that was only exacerbated when she refused to be partnered with the so-called "Latecomers" as apprentices. The death of her first Padawan only hardened her resolve to train only those students who were worthy, but brought her into contention with the leaders of the Almas Academy. She went into seclusion to meditate on her situation, and then accepted a mission to investigate a smuggling ring on Tolea Biqua. She misjudged the smugglers, who were not intimidated by the fact that she was a Jedi. She was attacked by the smugglers, and used all of her abilities to defend herself. However, she ended up using lethal force on a group of poorly-armed beings, killing six smugglers before she got herself under control.

In shame and full of regret, Zelice dropped completely out of sight and tried to join the smugglers. When their leader refused, she killed him in self-defense, and the Dark Side of the Force gained a strong hold over her. She then took over the smuggling operations for herself, adopting the guise of the avenging Black Queen. After she was found to be responsible for sabotaging a series of Jedi Trials during the early stages of the Clone Wars, Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi worked with Lanius Qel-Bertuk to put together a small task force to locate the Black Queen and bring her to justice. In addition to this sabotage, She was linked to a variety of criminal groups, as well as the Wyrd. It was discovered that she had established a base of operations on Tolea Biqua, and had been slowly developing a base of power.

The freelance agents contracted by Master Qel-Bertuk tracked the Black Queen to Tolea Biqua, unaware that she was manipulating their every action. She then confronted them in an abandoned storage facility, but was unprepared for their nobility and sense of justice. The agents refused to be drawn into a senseless fight, forcing the Black Queen to confront the reality that her view of the Force had become skewed. When the agents did not draw their weapons to defend themselves against her own attack, the Black Queen was defeated, and Zelice Sturm returned to the Light Side of the Force. The agents returned her body to Almas, believing that she was dead, but she was merely in a healing trance.

After returning to the Jedi, Zelice set out to honor the memory of those who rescued her. She established a haven for down-on-their-luck spacers and criminals in the Cularin System, and took in any being who was in trouble. When the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy, Sturm set out for the Almas Academy to lend whatever assistance she could to the Jedi there. Unfortunately for all, she was killed in the attack on Almas that devastated the academy and razed the planet. (LFCW, JCT3)

Sturm Dowel
This small cylinder was part of every blaster power pack, and was one of the most important components of every blaster. The dowel was used to disperse built-up energy in case of an overload. If the dowel was removed form the power pack, the pack will explode due to the unabated build-up of energy. (CFG)

Sturn
Sturn was a smooth-skinned humanoid employed by Lady Valarian as a front desk clerk at the Lucky Despot. Sturn was an indentical twin to Anton. (TJP)

Sturn
This man served as a stormtrooper Captain in the Imperial armed forces, during the height of the New Order. Captain Sturn was in command of a group of stormtroopers who were dispatched to the planet Kashyyyk, to ensure the security of the Imperial garrison there. He was known for his own sense of invulnerability, and wore a uniform that was trimmed with Wookiee fur as a symbol of his own self-importance. Captain Sturn was also an accomplished AT-ST pilot, and used these skills in an effort to destroy the Starkiller, when the man tried to destroy the Imperial skyhook that was tethered to the planet. Despite his ability to pilot the AT-ST in one-on-one combat, Captain Sturn ws no match for the Force, and the Starkiller was able to bring down rubble from the skyhook on top of the AT-ST. Sturn was crushed to death inside the walker. (TFUN)

The average styanax was a snakelike creature, whose body was protected by overlapping scales of armor. At the end of its tail, the styanax had a poisonous stinger, which it used to disable its prey. (WOTC, CCW)

Stydge
This Trandoshan and his brothers, Rydge and Xydge, served as chiefs of security for the band Distraction, during the early years of the New Order. They all wore full-body armor, as well as a blaster at each hip. (WOA28)

Stygium
This rare, crystalline mineral was found only on Aeten II. Sienar Advanced Projects discovered that the crystal could be used to create a full-effect cloaking system that defeated the sensors and security systems of larger craft. In its purest forms, stygium was used as a focusing crystal in a rare number of lightsabers used by the ancient Jedi Knights. (X1, KOTOR2)

Stylishly Dressed
This was a slang term used by gamblers during the era of the Galactic Civil War to describe any being who was secretly armed. This term was considered the opposite of being nicely dressed. Most gamblers preferred to be stylishly dressed, to avoid drawing attention to themselves. (SWJ4, OWS)

Stylopad
This type of writing implement produced a thin, hardcopy strip that contained the text that was written with it. (COJ)

Stylus Scanner
This small, handheld medical scanner was developed during the final years of the Old Republic. Stylus scanners were considered to be state-of-the-art during the Clone Wars, but didn't see widespread use until after the formation of the Galactic Empire. (RC66)

Stylus Ship
Also known as an iceborer, this long, narrow starship was used to break through the icy crust of moons and planets in order to reach the minerals and ores hidden beneath. The ship was tapered near the top, coming to an armor-plated point, and equipped with a simple drive system that moved it toward the planet and then back out of the hole it formed. It had only enough maneuverability to move back and forth, and the drive systems were not sufficient for system-to-system travel. They were used almost exclusively by miners, since the design of the stylus ship prohibited any additional systems. A single missile launcher was located in the nose of the ship, which could be used to launch an explosive warhead prior to the nose of the ship piercing the surface, helping the ship to borer deeper into the planet's crust. A stylus ship had to be transported into its target system by a carry ship. (VP)

Styx System
As a youngster, Luke Skywalker often dreamed of being Commander Skywalker, a star-fighter who frees slaves in this far-flung system. (MC17)

Su
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word meant "still" or "yet." (OWS)

Su, Lama
This Kaminoan male was the Prime Minister of Kamino, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Like most Kaminoans, Lama Su cared little for the galaxy at large, though he served as his people's primary liaison with the rest of the galaxy. He was a poor judge of human emotion and reaction, however. When it was offered to him, Lama Su had no problem taking the funds provided by Sifo-Dyas - and later, Darth Tyranus - for the creation of the clones for the Army of the Republic. Ten years later, Lama Su welcomed Obi-Wan Kenobi to Kamino, despite the Jedi Knight's obvious lack of knowledge about the development of the clone troopers. Lama Su proudly presented the clones to Master Kenobi, who was dumbfounded with what he saw on Kamino. Lama Su also arranged for Master Kenobi to meet with Jango Fett, the template for the clones. After the Clone Wars began, Lama Su found himself working directly with Supreme Chancellor Palpatine on the development of additional clones, although he never understood what was driving the Chancellor. In order to secure his own position, Lama Su made secret recordings of every conversation he had with the Republic, including Chancellor Palpatine. These recordings were discovered just over a year after the Battle of Geonosis by the Null-class ARC Trooper Mereel, after he infiltrated Tipoca City and made copies of Lama Su's files. It was learned years later that Lama Su had not provided all of the trained Jango Fett clones to the Grand Army of the Republic. Upon learning that Palpatine had started developing another clone army on Centax 2, Lama Su revealed that there were still Fett clones being kept on Kamino. (OWS, TCG1, E2N, SWDB, SWI87, RC66)

Su cuy'gar
This Mandalorian phrase meant "Hello," but its literal translation was "You're still alive." (OWS)

Su Des Station
This was one of two secondary facilities that were used on Kamino to produce the clone troopers used by the Grand Army of the Republic.

(SWI84)

Su Ma
This was the term used by Jedi Knights to describe any rotational movement used by lightsaber combat. There were three distinct types of rotation recognized by the Jedi: Jung Su Ma, or Jung Ma, which was a 360-degree spin; Ton Su Ma, which involved somersaults; and En Su Ma, which used cartwheels. These three techniques represented the three primary axes of rotation that were possible in three-dimensional space. (SWI62)

Suar, Alvida
This woman, distinsguished by her yellow skin, was a news reporter who followed the proceedings of the Galactic Courts of Justice, during the years following the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Alvida Suar was paired with Wolam Tser during the events that followed the arrest and exile of Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker, and obtained the first interviews with Nawara Ven and Tahiri Veila following the vote to overturn the Guilty by Association rider. (FJ1)

Suarbi 7
This planet was the seventh in the Suarbi System. It was a gas giant orbited by an asteroid belt and dozens of moons. (IJ)

Suarbi 7/5
This savannah-covered moon orbits Suarbi 7, a gas giant ringed by asteroids and dozens of moons. A couple of human settlements evolved on the moon centuries before the birth of the New Republic, as did the Jensaarai. It was later renamed Susevfi. It was here that Leonia Tavira returned with the Invidious after her pirate raids. It was also here that she held Mirax Terrik, after Mirax was captured on Nal Hutta by the Jensaarai. (IJ)

Suarbi System
Located in Quence Sector, this planetary system was where Leonia Tavira and the Invidious ended up after jumping away from a battle with New Republic warships. It was on the moon Suarbi 7/5 that she discovered the Jensaarai and the Saarai-kaar after shooting the moon's incompetant Imperial govnernor. (IJ)

Sub Pen
This was the term used to describe the specialized Gungan city-bubbles that were used to hold bongos and other Gungan submarines. Like other such bubbles, the sub pen was protected by a hydrostatic membrane that could be pierced if the driver of a bongo passed through it at a sufficiently-slow speed. (CSS)

Sub-70 Ice Mines
These ice mines were named because they were all found below the seventy-degree, southern latitudinal line on the planet Bandomeer. Owned by Southern Bandomeer Consolidated, the mines were known across the planet as some of the most dangerous mines an individual could work in. At these latitudes, the polar ice caps covered the land and water equally, and were laden with a number of valuable metal ores and minerals. During the excavation and mining operations, miners discovered what appeared to be an ancient Sith facility beneath the ice cap, although the exact nature of the submarine docks, tunnels, and chambers was never discovered. (GORW)

SU-B713
This serving droid, known as Essyou, was part of the staff at the Hard Heart Cantina, located aboard the first Death Star, during the height of the New Order. Essyou had strange personality programming, and often spoke as if it were a stand-up comedian. (DSTR)

Suba
This Imperial Lieutenant served as the chief of security and political officer aboard the Executor, ensuring the loyalty of his fellow officers to the New Order. Suba believed that Darth Vader had some hidden weakness that prevented him from killing Luke Skywalker outright. (CCG4)

Sub-Adult Group
Known as a SAGroup, this was the largest branch of COMPNOR, exceeding two trillion members at its height. This branch was made up from youngsters who were brought up understanding the New Order, and was headed by Imperial officers who kept the Empire's darker secrets from the sub-adults. In fact, it was considered a tradition to provide deliberately false information to the young members of a SAGroup. Much of the communication that occurred within COMPNOR was credited to the various SAGroups, although it was all screened by Imperial Security. (ISB)

Subaqua Blaster
This powerful version of a blaster was produced by the Mon Calamari, for use underwater or in aquatic environments where a standard blaster might short out. It was designed to fit over the forearm, and took advantage of the cooling effects of the surrounding water to keep the weapon from overheating. (SWI66, UANT)

Subaquatic Manufacturing Economies
This was an Old Republic training course, created to give accountants a basic education on the economics of creating and sustaining production on planets where there was no landmass. The course was held on Calamari. (SWI65)

Sub-circles
These were the divisions established within each of the primary social castes of the Nagai race. These social castes were known as Circles, with membership being determined by birth. Within each Circle were several Sub-circles, and individuals could move upward through the Sub-circles during ritualized combat. (GMR1)

Subcutaneous Comlink
This was a form of miniature communications device that was implanted underneath the skin of the user. There were two main components to the comlink: a sensitive microphone that was placed near the throat, and a tiny speaker that was implanted near the ear. Developed especially for espionage agents, this device allowed the user to communicate with a remote individual by barely speaking above a whisper. Although the communications link to the remote being was encrypted, a compromised frequency required that the implant be temporarily removed to switch channels. (HG)

Subcutaneous Tracer
This device was used to monitor the location and movements of a specific being. The tracer was implanted just beneath the skin, and emitted a signal on a predetermined frequency. Despite the fact that the tracer was all but invisible to the naked eye, it was capable of transmitting information across many light-years. If an individual was desparate enough, they could shave their entire body several times in order to attempt to remove the subcutaneous tracer, but there was no guarantee they would find it. (CN1)

Sub-dermal Tracker
Developed by the Empire's scientists, this small tracking device was implanted just below the skin of an Imperial agent. A specialized transceiver allowed the tracker to be recalibrated with an external control unit, so that the tracker could be tuned to different frequencies and codes. Because the tracker was implanted in the agent's body, it could relay information directly to the agent's brain via nerve impulses. In this way, an agent could track a target without being overly obvious about it. (SWGAL)

Subelectronic Converter
As decribed in Nasdra Magrody's treatise, The Light Side of the Subelectronic Force, this device was designed to be implanted in the brain of a Force-sensitive individual, and allowed the individual to control a droid through the Force. The only known use of the subelectronic converter was when it was implanted into the brain of Irek Ismaren, who used it to remotely activate the Eye of Palpatine. (NEGD)

Subject Classifier
This was a form of starship sensor system that could analyze interstellar communications and identify specific subjects or discussion threads, and then sort them into various pre-defined categories. These devices were often found on the starships owned by bounty hunters. (JB)

Subject Zeta
This was the identification label used to describe the Starkiller, during the time he spent recovering from near-death aboard the Empirical. (TFUN)

Subjugator
This Imperial Nebulon-B2 frigate was destroyed by Alliance forces during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Subjugator
A Victory-class Star Destroyer that was commanded by Captain Kolaff. It was deployed in the Relgim Sector, and was chosen by Lira and Denn Wessex as the ship which would travel to Kwenn space station to capture Walex Blissex. It was destroyed by the Alliance strike force accompanying Blissex during the Galactic Civil War. (SF)

Subjugator
This Imperial-II class Star Destroyer was part of the Imperial fleet searching for a group of defectors, shortly before the Battle of Endor. It was forced to let the defectors go by a group of Alliance warships. (XWA)

Subla Ransom
Known primarily in the Mid Rim, Subla Ransom manufactured a variety of cargo freighters. (FOP, PP)

Subla Ransom Medium Cargo Hauler
This 75.5-meter-long freighter was capable of transporting up to 700 metric tons of cargo. This reliable craft required a crew of five, and could carry up to five additional passengers. The freighter was armed with a turret-mounted blaster cannon. (PP)

Sublight Acceleration Module
Also known as a SLAM, this device was developed for use on the Imperial missile gunboat during the Galactic Civil War. The SLAM's function was to increase sublight speed by as much as two times, allowing the gunboat to quickly enter and exit an engagement with the enemy. The SLAM's power source drew power from all other shipboard systems, but was not considered a primary component. Thus, if weapons or target control were activated while the SLAM was engaged, the SLAM would be disengaged in favor of routing power to those systems. SLAM technology was later integrated into the fighters and bombers of the New Republic, specifically on the BTL-S8 K-Wing fighter/bomber. (TIE, SSOG)

Sublight Acceleration Motor
This was another name for the Sublight Acceleration Module. (SSOG)

Sublight Drive
This was the term used to describe any starship propulsion system that allowed the ship to move through realspace. They most often employed fusial thrusters that forced charged ions through an exhaust port. This use of a fusion reaction to generate thrust often resulted in high levels of radioactive emission, which were illegal within a planet's atmosphere. (SWSB)

Sublight Queen
Nien Nunb's light freighter. (MTS, EGC)

Sublight Transponder
This was the name given to the basic starship identification system that was installed in a vessel's sublight engines. These transponders were built into the sublight drives in order to prevent tampering. Any attempt to alter the device or the codes it contained would result in a flash explosion that would fuse the wiring of the engine and render it inoperable and unreparable. The sublight transponder was separate from the IFF transponder, which was usually not required on civilian starships.

Smugglers and pirates often masked or disguised their transponder signals to alter their starships' identification, although these methods for bypassing the normal operation of the transponder were often easy to identify. Masking a transponder signal involved routing additional power into the transponder director, causing it to overheat and adding noise to the signal. This technique was risky to attempt, since it could easily cause the transponder to fail, resulting in the destruction of the surrounding sublight engine. Disguising the transponder signal involved adding a second signal to the underlying identification signal, creating a new pattern that gave the ship another identity. (TOJ, SSOG)

Submersible Environment Module
A heavily-armored startship, the SEM was used to penetrate hostile planetary environments. The SEM uses the quantum armor developed at the Maw Installation as a protective skin. It was connected to a mothership or orbiting station by an energy tether which uses its own magnetism to keep the SEM attached to its base. If snapped, the tether can reconnect itself if broken. They were equipped with various manipulatory appendages, depending on the application. (SA)

Submersible Mining Environment
Developed by Lando Calrissian and the engineers aboard GemDiver Station, the submersible mining environment (SME) was used to safely penetrate the atmosphere of the planet Yavin in search of Corusca gems. (GORW)

Submersi-Speeder
This was the generic term used by SoroSuub to describe its line of amphibious speeders, such as the AQ-1. These vehicles were capable of traveling over land and in the water, with little to no changeover required to move between environments. However, this meant that the submersi-speeder was expensive to purchase and maintain, and its sophisticated components were prone to breakdowns, requiring regular maintenance and service. (GORW)

Subpro Corporation
This Inner Rim manufacturer produced some very reliable shipboard avionics packages and reactor cores before it entered into the starship market by assisting Incom in the design of the Z-95 Headhunter. Its location in the Rim meant that it didn't get the recognition other manufacturers received, and so many of its designs went unnoticed except by Rim travellers. It also began to manufacture freighters and transports which gained wide acceptance in the Rim, despite the familiarity of many Corellian designs. (SCRE, SWSB, EGV, SWG2P)

Subrat
This was the derogatory term used by the elite classes of the planet Mawan to describe those individuals who worked in the tunnels beneath their cities. Ironically, after the Great Purge, it was the subrats and their underground companions who rose to power in the aftermath. (JQ6)

Subsonic Grenade
This small detonation device used low-amplitude sound waves instead of explosives to create a blast. (DFR)

Subspace antenna
This was a horseshoe-shaped magnet wrapped with two layers of conductive wire, used to generate the magnetic fields required to send a subspace transmission. Often, the wire used was of a superconducting material that was exceptionally thin, requiring more then ten kilometers of wire to fully cover the U-shaped frame. (HTTE)

Subspace Communications
This subscriber service provided communications access to thousands of users along the Sisar Run. Owned by the Nalroni crimelord Sprax, Subspace controlled a wealth of deep-space communications satellites which brought almost instantaneous communications to its subscribers, without the need for a dedicated HoloNet access. Subspace was the cleanest of Sprax's ventures, although its satellites maintained a log of every user, including what channels they tuned in to and where they were. This allowed Sprax to maintain tabs on a wealth of individuals and groups. (SSR)

Subspace Image Transmitter
Developed by Renn Volz, this device was used to project a holographic image to a remote location. Mira Volz used one to alert her father that she was no longer under the control of Captain Bzorn. (CSWEA)

Subspace radio
A radio which employs a special antenna to send a transmission via subspace frequencies. These signals were almost instantaneously received at their destination. (HTTE)

Subspace Relay Station
This 100-meter long, spindle-shaped station was depolyed in many star systems for a number of uses. Often denoted as an SRS, these unmanned stations were placed in a slow, distant orbit around a system's star. From this vantage point, they relay intra-system broadcasts. The SRS can also act as a collision defense system, since they were armed with twelve laser cannons. Any inbound asteroids can be shot down with these cannons before they collide with the station. (TA)

Subterine
This was the name given to a repulsorlift vessel which could tunnel into and through the ground. (SWIE)

Subterrel
This planet, the primary world in the Subterrel Sector, was the site of a variety of mining colonies during the last decades of the Old Republic. Much of the workforce used on Subterrel was cloned, created by the Kaminoans to be hard-working and durable, but completely obedient and loyal. It was here that Dexter Jettster first encountered the Kaminoans, and learned about obscure items such as the Kaminoan Saberdart. (TCG1, SWI66)

Subterrel Sector
This remote sector of the galaxy was located beyond the Outer Rim Territories, and contained the worlds Subterrel and Polis Massa. (RF3)

Subtrooper
This was the name given to those clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic who were trained to move about in aquatic environments. These troopers were initially trained as jet troopers, and wore modified armor that employed a pair of underwater propellers that helped them move through the water. (WOTC)

Subu, Odie
This young woman served the Grand Army of the Republic as a reconnaissance scout, during the height of the Clone Wars. She was known to be an excellent swoop and speederbike rider, and could negotiate complex terrain with ease. Much of her skill was attributed to her small size, although this proved to be something of a liability when it came to handling weapons. To compensate, Odie had her tech teams modify the grips of her blasters, so that she could fire them in combat. When General Khamar was dispatched to defend the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn, Odie was among the many scouts who accompanied Makx Maganinny to gather intelligence on the Separatist forces there. During the initial phase of the Separatist attack, the small naval fleet supporting General Khamar took heavy fire, and many ships were disabled and fell to the planet's surface. After Odie led Lieutenant Colonel Kreen to a defensive rock formation, she was caught in a sandstorm caused by the crash of Erk H'Arman's starfighter. She managed to rescue Erk and get him back to the main encampment, but only after surviving exposure in the desert. For any number of reasons, Odie found herself deeply attracted to Erk, and they found that they were also good team in the field. Erk even found himself referring to Odie as the "best wingmate a fighter jock ever had." They were briefly assigned to a listening post established by the Freedom's Sons and Daughters militia, but were overrun by battle droids when the Separatists launched their attack. They were buried beneath the rubble for several days before being discovered by a scout force led by Grudo. In the confusion, Odie shot Grudo, thinking he was an enemy. His death left her with a hollow feeling inside, despite the insistence of those around her that it was simply a case of mistaken identity. Her mood didn't improve when Anakin refused to accept Grudo's death, but they eventually worked out their differences. Anakin later included her in the mission to rescue the hostages at the communications center, since she was the only person available who had any knowledge of the building's layout. Once the hostages were released, Odie was to maneuver them back to a transport ship piloted by Erk. She decided to remain at the center when she realized that Anakin was still inside, and set off with Raders ad Vick to locate him. They managed to locate Skywalker and capture Pors Tonith, and returned to the Republic's main base. When Anakin returned from the final mop-up, Odie surprised both Anakin and Erk by asking the young Padawan to marry them. Anakin agreed, and united them in marriage shortly afterward. (JT)

Subzero Conduit
This was a form of starship boarding device that could be used to connect to another ship that had suffered a loss of heating while in space. Because the damaged ship could not maintain a normal temperature, its interior spaces often experienced extremely low temperatures, as the generated heat was emitted into space. Any beings who survived this experience were often hypothermic, and could not be immediately taken into warmer climates. These situations required the use of a subzero conduit, which maintained a low temperature in the conduit that connected the two ships. This temperate was set somewhere between the ambient temperatures on both ships, to help survivors and any cargo to become somewhat acclimated as they moved between vessels. (CWTV30)

Success Through Charismatic Influence
This was an Old Republic training course, created to give civilians and non-combat military personnel an introduction on the basics of military leadership. The course was held on Commenor. (SWI65)

Succession Judge
This position was given to a Bitthaevrian who would preside over any succession to the leadership of the m'Yalfor'ac Order. Individual Succession Judges were to be completely unbiased, thereby ensuring that the succession was fair. (AIR)

Succession Pool
This self-contained vessel of water formed the heart, lungs, and liver of a Yuuzhan Vong damutek. The Shapers who traveled to new worlds often filled the succession pool with native aquatic life, thereby feeding and sustaining the damutek. Waste material was also throw intot he succession pool, adding to the nutrients available to the damutek. The pool was filled from below, as the large roots of the damutek sucked up copious amounts of water from the crust of a world. (EVC, FP)

Succubus
An ethereal alien which desires to couple with a human male in order to breed. (CS)

Succulosum Azure
The beautiful flowers of this plant were known to cause severe allergic reactions in human beings. (XWMR)

Sucharme
This planet served as a primary garrison of the Trade Federation, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. The Federation once tried to occupy the planet when an outstanding debt went unpaid. An invasion was launched on the pretext of forcing the native to repay the debt, but was met with stiff resistance from the armed forces. The Federation was eventually ousted, but their ability to blockade a planet was easily proven. The lessons learned at Sucharme went a long way toward the planning of the invasion of Naboo. (GCG)

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

Sucosa
This beverage was similar to caf, but was sweeter to the taste. (DSTR)

Su'cuy
This was the shortened form of the Mandalorian greeting Su cuy'gar, and was translated into Basic as "Hi". (SWI86)

Su'cuy gar
This was a Mandalorian phrase used to familiarly greet another individual. It loosely translated into Basic as "hi" or "what's up?", and came from a more formal phrase that meant "So, you're still alive." (OWS, RCTZ, LF2)

Sudden Death
This modified MRX-BR Pacifier scout ship was owned and operated by the Iceman. He had gutted the insides of the ship to make room for eight prisoner cells, and added three proton torpedo launchers and three laser cannons to the ship's armaments. (GG6)

Sudden Demise
This was the term used to describe a round of play in sabacc in which two or more players were tied at the end of a hand, with hands that did not exceed the score of twenty-three. To resolve the tie, each of the remaining players was dealt a single card, and the player with the best score was awarded the hand. If the additional card caused the player's hand to exceed twenty-three, he was out of the match. If two or more players were still tied, another card was dealt into their hand. This play continued until only one player was left to claim the pot. (LCF, DBPD)

Sudden Restoration
This Carosite HS-1 hospital ship had been named for the ship's ability to appear suddenly whenever medical attention was required. The survival rate of injured beings brought on board the Sudden Restoration was legendary. Many of the patients brought on board were transported to Carosi Alpha Hospital for further treatment. The New Republic asked the Carosites to hangar an X-Wing fighter on the Sudden Restoration, in case of attack from Imperial forces. (PG2)

Suel, Jaizen
This Jedi Knight was one of the few members of the Jedi Order to fly a Cloakshape fighter into combat, during the last years of the Old Republic. His modified ship was known as the Dawn Raider. (NEGV)

Suelu
This Interdictor-class cruiser was part of the Imperial fleet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Sufar
This leaves of this low-growing plant could be blanched or fried, or served raw as part of a salad. (SESB)

Sufar
This Corellian outlaw was exiled from his colony for a murder he committed some six years before the Battle of Endor. He was not a physically imposing man, but carried about himself an air of cold-blooded savagery. Early in the era of the New Republic, Sufar was a member of the bounty hunter gang known as Qulok's Fist. (DARK)

Sufezz
This Outer Rim world was the site of a Shrine of Kooroo. (SWJ13)

Sugai Sector
Along with the Kakani, Ikenomin, and Fusai Sectors of the galaxy, this sector made up the Outer Zuma region. (GMR9)

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

Suhlak, N'dru
This young man was washed out of the Alliance's Tierfon starfighter base for his excessive insubordination. However, Suhlak was an excellent pilot, having learned from the likes of Jek Porkins and Wes Janson, and soon found work as a hunt saboteur. Suhlak once tried to evade Boba Fett above Uhltenden by placing specialized transparisteel plates between his Z-95 Headhunter and Slave I. The transparisteel was manufactured to filter out certain wavelengths of light, providing Suhlak with the ability to disappear as long as he remained in line with Fett's ship. He also placed a normal piece of transparisteel behind the optically-filtered piece, in case Fett survived the first one. However, Fett discerned Suhlak's set-up and evaded both pieces. He then boarded the modified Z-95 and took possession of Suhlak's cargo, Ob Fortuna. The two met up several years later, during Boba Fett's search for answers surrounding Neelah and Kuat of Kuat. This time, Fett hired Suhlak to transport him to Tatooine and back as fast as possible, following the damage to the Hound's Tooth and the loss of Slave I. He kept his part of the bargain, eventually returning Fett to Dengar and Neelah aboard the Hound's Tooth near Oran-m. (SLS, HM)

Suicide Drone
This was the generic term used to describe any droid-controlled Imperial fighter that was rigged with explosives, and sent into space combat with the specific mission of crashing into enemy vessels and detonating their explosives. (XWRL)

Suicide Peak
This specialized obstacle was used on swoopchasing courses. In its basic form, the Suicide Peak was a modified version of the Pop 'n' Drop obstacle. However, the Suicide Peak employs a drop off of up to 30 meters between the top of the front side of the bank and top of the back side. The gap between the banks was also increased, often to fifty meters. (BSS)

Suicide Tooth
This device resembled a regular human tooth, but was filled with deadly gas before being inserted into the jaw. When a human was forced into a situation where death was imminent, they could use the suicide tooth to kill their captors as well as themselves, thereby eliminating the threat. (GAL3)

Sujir
This man was a member of the Karazak Slavers Cooperative team sent to capture Janissa Locrin. (GG11)

Suk

Suka
This was a common name among the Menahuun people. (UANT)

Sukarian
This H'drachi (human?) served as the Vicebaron of M'haeli when Lando Calrissian and Mara Jade stopped there, during their search for information on Jorj Car'das. (VOF)

Suke, Sleta
This female Ortolan was the daughter of Orto's primary ambassador to the Old Republic, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Her father leased the Grand Reception Hall for her engagement party, after she became betrothed to the son of an important Ortolan businessbeing. However, Sleta wanted nothing to do with the arranged marriage, having fallen in love with Trunks Bibo. With the help of the Lost Ones, Trunks was able to crash the party, drugging the food in order to eliminate any opposition before "rescuing" Sleta and whisking her away. (CCW)

Suki
This woman was native to the planet Gadrin, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Suki and her friend, Amaya, spent much of their free time roaming the bars of Gadrin for men to have fun with. (EOS1)

Sukkult
This planet was the site of a commercial transport hub, during the early years of the New Order. (OWS)

Sul
This was a common name given to Zabrak males. Like many Zabrak names, it related to survival characteristics, and meant "second-born son". (GCG)

Sula
This woman, the Queen of the planet Presteen during the height of the New Order, was also a noted sabacc player. (RESB)

Sulahb
This Sullustan starship mechanic was a quiet, hard-working being who was very meticulous about her work. (GMH)

Sulamar
One of the few Imperials who survived the early years of the New Republic, Sulamar sought power under the guise of a General, a rank which was never recognized by the rest of the Imperial forces.. He aligned himself with Durga the Hutt in the early planning stages of the Darksaber project. When Crix Madine was captured trying to sabotage the battle station, he revealed that Sulamar was really a bungling fool who couldn't hold a position because of his constant failures. (DS, ECH)

Sulas, Lur Arka
This Twi'lek worked for a wealthy family of settlers on the planet Dantooine, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. During the Mandalorian Wars, the family's daughter, Sasha, was kidnapped by Mandalorian soldiers and taken away. In part because of his loyalty to the family, and in part because he was ordered, Lur Arka Sulas spent most of his time at Dantooine's primary starport, asking incoming visitors if they had seen Sasha. His patience was rewarded when the crew of the Ebon Hawk discovered Sasha in their hold, and returned her to Dantooine. (KOTOR)

Sulen
This was one of the most common female names among the Corellians. (GMR9)

Sulfaro
This plant was found on the planet Kirdo III, and was the primary food source of the chooba. The Kitonak race evolved with an appearance that was very similar to the sulfaro plant, and could stand still for hours at a time to attract choobas. When a chooba crawled into the Kitonak's mouth, which resembled the plant's interior, the Kitonak simply ate the chooba. (GG4, NEGA)

Sulfur Archway
This was the name given to a section of the Agrilat Swamp Circuit, one of the most popular swoop racing courses of the New Order. (SWGAL)

Sulfur Lake Pirates
This gang of pirates, with members and chapters from across the galaxy, was active during the height of the New Order. (GQRG)

Sulfur Mynock
This unusual subspecies of mynock was native to the planet Lok. (SWG2P)

see Sulfur Mynock (SWG2P)

Sulfur Slug
This disgusting parasite was native to the planet Lok. (SWI62)

Sulfurous Moon Slider
This was one of the signature sliders that wer available at Dex's Diner, during the final years of the Old Republic. This sandwich was only available for a short time, however, and was removed from the menu after many customers complained of stomach problems after eating it. (OWS)

Suliana
This planet was known for its exquisite cotton, which was harvested for use in manufacturing luxurious towels and robes. (DSTR)

Sulkec, Tegas
This was the name of a noted Caamasi individual. (UANT)

Sulkot
This Nazren prophet was immortalized with a statue in Martyr's Plaza, in the Ahdjok settlement of the planet Nizon. However, the statue was porrly maintained, and wobbled on its base during heavy winds. (WOTC)

Sull
This was the name adopted by the ARC Trooper designated A-30, during the era of the Clone Wars. Sull was one of the many ARC Troopers who were dispatched to remote planets to train the local military how to use Republic weapons and technology to defend themselves against a possible Separatist attack. About sixteen months after the Battle of Geonosis, Sull was reported as missing in action during a mission to Gaftikar. He had not reported in for two months, and it was feared that he might cause trouble for other clone troopers. After Sergeant A'den was unable to locate Sull, Omega Squad was dispatched to bring Sull in for questioning. They were able to capture him in his apartment in the city of Eyat, on Gaftikar, but not without a fight. During his interrogation, Sull revealed that he had he no longer fought for the Republic, but he was quick to point out that he had not actually joined the Separatists. He also explained that he was not going to help either side in the coming civil war on Gaftikar, but that the human population was no more an enemy than the Marits. A'den then let him go free, but only after an intense debate. A'den then took his armor and told the other members of Omega Squad that their official story that Sull had died of injuries in an unspecified accident, and that his body was too decomposed to recover. A'den then arranged to have Ny Vollen get Sull off-world, in case agents of the Republic Intelligence agency arrived to perform a more thorough investigation. Sull was taken to Mandalore, where he managed to team up with Spar. When the two of them heard about Kal Skirata's plans to defect from the Republic and find a way to reverse the rapid aging of clones, both men decided to throw their allegiance in with Skirata's people. They were allowed to accompany Bardan Jusik and Fi back to Coruscant, shortly before the onset of the First Battle of Coruscant. (RCTC, RC66)

Sullest
see Sullust (SWI99)

Sullestese
This was another name for the Sullustan language. (WOTC)

Sull'ika
This was the somewhat sarcastic nickname used by clone commando A'den to describe the renegade ARC Trooper known as Sull. (RCTC)

SulliVaan, Pol
This Givin ambassador agreed to meet with Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa Solo, in the wake of the Battle of Endor, to discuss a renewed relationship between the Givin and the New Republic. (EGA)

Sullorians
An alien race. (BHSW)

Sullumun
This gas giant was, unusually, the innermost planet in its system, the Sullust System of the Outer Rim Territories. It was orbited by eighteen moons. (GORW)

Sullust
This was the third and primary planet in the Sullust system. Sullust was known for its mineral mines and technologies. Although widely known as a volcanically-active world, Sullust only had a few active volcanoes, and these were widely avoided by the native Sullustans. In general, though, Sullust was a superheated world with a hot, noxious atmosphere that was wracked by violent storms. Thus, the native Sullustans were forced to live underground in the cool, humid caves that riddled the planet's mantle.

The need to ensure the safety of their underground cities forced the Sullustans to understand the seismic and volcanic nature of Sullust, and to engineer their structures accordingly. There were also a number of underground lakes and caverns that supported a surprising number of life forms.

The huge, diversified SoroSuub Corporation grew out of the caves, and when the Sullustan Council faltered, SoroSuub announced that it was allying the planet with the Empire. Many of the working class Sullustans could not believe this, and a wave of rebellion swept through the planet's inhabitants just before the Battle of Endor. This rebellion allowed the Sullustan people to volunteer their hoime system as the stop-over site for the massing Rebel fleet, just prior to the destruction of the second Death Star. (E6, SWSB, GORW, NEGA)

Sullust
This New Republic CR90 Corvette was part of the force sent to liberate the planet Ciutric from the control of Prince-Admiral Krennel. It supported the flagship Emancipator, along with several other Corvettes and a trio of Nebulon-B frigates. The ship took a tremendous pounding in the battle, and barely survived. (IR)

Sullust
This star, which was located in the Sluis Sector of the Outer Rim, was the central body in the Sullust System. (GORW)

Sullustan
This race of small, mouse-like humanoids was distinguished by their huge black eyes, loose jowls, and pointed ears. The jowls and cranial markings of an individual Sullustan helped to identify them among their peers, and were considered to be as unique as fingerprints or retinal scans. Native to the planet Sullust, the Sullustan people were forced to live underground in order to avoid Sullust's inhospitable atmosphere. Their ingenuity and adaptability allowed them to created huge underground cities, and they became known as some of the galaxy's best civil engineers. Individual Sullustans had an innate sense of direction, having lived in caves all their lives. They also had the uncanny ability to remember a path or map exactly, after seeing it just once. Thus, many Sullustans became pilots and navigators.

Sullustans were known for their affable nature. They were also known for their sense of hearing, which evolved over generations of living in caves, and a deaf individual was considered to be severely handicapped. After the age of thirty standard years, most Sullustans began to experience corneal defects, and had to be fitted with special visors. It was also known that the average Sullustan was mostly immune to the effects of alcohol, although it was not impossible to get a Sullustan drunk, at least for a short period of time.

As their civlization flourished, the technology of the Sullustans grew at an incredibly fast rate, as evidenced by the rise to power of the SoroSuub Corporation. As a people, Sullustans had a shrewd business sense, although most corporate goals were established with the betterment of the people in mind. This created a sort of trust in the corporate entity, which SoroSuub took advantage of when it issued corporate proclamation 137d and assumed control of the planet Sullust, all in the name of the Empire.

Interestingly, Sullustan barbers were renowned throughout the galaxy, even though the average Sullustan was hairless. (E6, AC, MTS, COJ, GORW, NEGA, CN1)

Sullustan
This was the native language of the Sullustan people. (EGP)

Sullustan Ale
This foamy ale was brewed on the planet Sullust. (GG9)

Sullustan Blast Rifle
This was another name for the Kylan-3 blaster rifle. (AEG)

Sullustan Council
This was the primary governing body of the planet Sullust, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Most often, the President of the Sullustan Council also served on the Board of Directors of the SoroSuub Corporation. This became more and more apparent after the election process was expanded to include all shareholders of SoroSuub, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. In the wake of the Clone Wars and the establishment of the New Order, SoroSuub issued corporate proclamation 137d, which officially dissolved the Sullustan Council. The corporation then assumed control of the planet Sullust, and pledged its allegiance to the Empire. SoroSuub's rule of Sullust began to draw criticism as the Empire became more and more pro-human, and the idea of Human High Culture caused many Sullustan workers to join the Alliance. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, proclamation 137d was rescinded, and the Sullustan Council was re-established to assume control of Sullust. (HNN4, GORW)

Sullustan Gin
An intergalactic alcoholic spirit. (TJP)

Sullustan Plague-delirium
This strange disease sometimes affected visitors to the planet Sullust. It caused intense pain and agony to those it affected, causing them to scratch and claw at their bodies in an attempt to easy the pain. (CWWS)

Sullustese
This was another name for the language of the Sullustan race. (SON)

Sullute
This MC40a was part of the Alliance's fleet, during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Sulon
This arable, inhabitable moon was one of two satellites that orbited the planet Sullust. The human population was often at odds with the Grave Tuskens that ravaged the plains, especially after the Empire imported base-stock Tusken Raiders from Tatooine to assist in rooting out rebellious individuals. Much of the moon's surface was used as farmland, although the ground was hard to work and most settlers barely eked out an existence. Beneath the surface of the moon, Sulon Incorporate maintained a vast network of product and manufacturing facilities, as well as the moon's primary starport. Much of SoroSuub's most dangerous production was carried out by Sulon Incorporate on the moon, which ensured that the planet Sullust would survive a disaster in one of the facilities. Although the inhabitants of Sulon chose to disagree, SoroSuub experts claimed that an explosion in a weapons manufacturing facility would cause seismic repurcussions on Sullust, which might tear the planet apart. Note that the Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight Official Strategy Guide indicates that Sulon was a planet. (DF, DF2, RAG, GORW, DF2P)

Sulon Incorporate
This subsidiary of the SoroSuub Corporation oversaw the various activities on the moon of Sulon, including the agriculture on the moon's surface as well as the production and manufacturing facilities belowground. (GORW)

Sulon Star
This cargo ship made regular run within the Sullust System, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (RAG)

Sulorine
This planet, the primary world in the Sulorine Sector of the galaxy, was plunged into civil dispute during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, were dispatched to Sulorine to bring about a peaceful resolution to the situation. However, their mission was interrupted when Mace Windu ordered them to accompany the Outbound Flight project to the edge of the galaxy, to keep an eye on Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth. (OF)

Sulorine Sector
This area of the galaxy bordered Ansuroer Sector and the Iotran Expanse. (SSR)

Sulphor
This planet, a ball of searing rock, was the innermost world of the Velus System. (CCW)

Sulphur Pits of Vulcar
This vast plain of sulphur-laden geysers and sinkholes was located on the planet Vulcar. The working conditions at the Sulphur Pits were comparable to those at the Spice Mines of Kessel. (MDCAR)

Sulrowe, Uth
This Mon Calamari was a well known scholar, and had a deep knowledge of galactic art. Uth was employed by Pret Swain, and worked at the Swain Import/Export Emporium on Socorro. Dressed in flowing robes, she was an impeccable hostess as well as a good sense of business. She was also a weapons expert, which helped her deal with the Emporium's more "discriminating" patrons. (BSS)

Sult
This was one of the more common Kel Dor surnames. Its meaning translated into Basic as "female ruler" or "queen". (GCG)

Sultur
This was one of the largest landmasses found on the planet Zolan. When the Zolanders were forced to discover a way to fight back against the intense solar radiation which was bombarding their planet, most of them fled to the Sultur continent. (GMR10)

Suluk
This Imperial ETR-3 escort transport was used during the Galactic Civil War. (XWA)

Sululluub
This asteroid belt was located in the Sullust System, between the planet Lununmo and Sullust. (GORW)

Sulyet
This was a style of food preparation that originated on the planet Mon Calamari. Sulyet evolved to become something of an art form, using the freshest of seafoods, grains, and vegetables to create wondrous bite-sixed morsels. The freshest sulyet was created from seafood that was still alive, although it could be made from frozen or cured seafood as well. If the platter was covered with items that were still moving, diners could be assured of an exquisite meal. In general, sulyet utilized several key ingredients, such as tikit grain and fish, but more unusual variations used coral worms, nudibranchs, and other unusual ingredients. One of the most expensive fish used in sulyet was nexufish, which had to be filleted with great skill due to the poisonous nature of the nexufish's physiology. (CN1)

Suma
This tall, reedy plant was native to the planet Naboo. It spreads when its sticky seeds attach to the bodies of the swamp animals which eat it, like the pom hopper. The petals of the suma's flower crushed and mixed with water by the Gungans to create ink. (GF)

Sumarin
This remote world was known its wondrous, atmospheric composition, which was known throughout the galaxy as the Seven Skies of Sumarin. (MJH)

Sumichan
This female Chiss warrior was one of the pilots who accompanied Jagged Fel and Shawnkyr Nuruodo on their fact-finding mission into the New Republic, after the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Sumichan remained with the Chiss squadron after the Battle of Ebaq, and served under the command of Eprill while Jag accompanied the Solo family on a mission to restore communications across the galaxy. (FH1)

Su-mil
This younger Eickarie was part of a small group that agreed to help the Empire of the Hand defeat the Warlord, some twenty-two years after the Battle of Yavin. Su-mil was a member of the Meen-tris family, which in turn was part of the Sav-ro clan and the Hu-shi-crive tribe. He urged cooperation with the Imperial 501st Legion's stormtroopers, despite the angry words of Ha-ran and other elderly Eickarie. Su-mil agreed to help Twister and his troopers enter the Warlord's fortress, on the condition that they freed the Eickaries who were being held prisoner there. Twister reluctantly agreed to the bargain, knowing that his troops needed every advantage they could obtain. Unknown to Twister and Aurek Company, Su-mil had a plan of his own. He pretended to be one of the Eickarie who supported the regime of the Warlord. As soon as they were underneath the Warlord's fortress, Su-mil betrayed the stormtroopers to the Lakran mecernaries. During their interrogation by the Lakrans, however, Su-mil pointed the muzzle of his weapon at Twister's eyes, left and right in turn, to indicate whether or not he was telling the truth. Whenever he pointed at Twister's left eye, it indicated a lie; at his right eye, the truth. In this way, Su-mil was able to get the Imperials deep inside the Warlord's lair with minimal loss of life. Then, when the Imperials freed the Eickarie prisoners, Su-mil deferred to Ha-ran, allowing the old Eickarie to speak to the prisoners and ensure that they agreed to the United Tribes Agreements. Then, as the combined forces reached the Warlord's central chambers, Su-mil and his soldiers burst through the doors in front of the Imperials and attacked the Warlord. The Eickaries eliminated the Warlord's bodyguards, but Su-mil kept his end of the bargain and left the Warlord alive for the Imperials to capture. Despite his bravery and heroic actions, Su-mil was villified by his fellow Eickarie for striking the bargain with the Imperials, since it deprived the Eickarie and the United Tribes of Kariek with vegneance against the Warlord. Twister then extended an offer to Su-mil, asking if the Eickarie wanted to join the Imperial 501st Legion. Su-mil thought only a moment or two before accepting the offer. After completing his training, Su-mil joined the 501st Aurek-Seven unit, where he became known as Grappler among his fellow troopers. He was part of the unit when it accompanied Chak Fel on a Chiss-led mission to locate the remains of the Outbound Flight Project, and took a large amount of fire when the Vagaari pirates launched their attack. (FB, SQ)

Sumitra Sector
A relatively unpopulated sector of the galaxy during the Galactic Civil War, the Alliance set up one of was fighter bases there, on the planet Tierfon. The Sumitra Sector contains 12,387 planets and moons, making the odds of the Empire finding the Tierfon base extremely slim. (SWSB)

Summat
This was a sacred Fyodoi ritual in which all the tribal chiefs gather and begin shouting at each other in gibberish. They continue for hours until all the chiefs suddenly stop. They stand up and set all but one of the huts on fire. The summat was actually a re-enactment of the Great Cleansing, and helps remind the chiefs of the dangers that come with technological advancement. (PG2)

Summergnat
This tiny insect was known to travel in large swarms, and was attracted by the scent of nerfs. (BP)

Summerside Tour
Sponsored by Flangth-2-Go, this was the name of Fitz Roi's Core-wide musical tour, but it was cancelled shortly before the Battle of Yavin for unknown reasons. (SWJ4)

Summertime War
This was the name given to the intense civil war that broke out between the native Korunnai and the off-world Balawai of the planet Haruun Kal, several decades before the onset of the Clone Wars. It began as a clash of interests, with the Korunnai following the grassers who destroyed the jungles, while the Balawai relied on harvesting the bounties of the jungle to make credits from their exports. For thirty years, the Korunnai staged guerilla raids on Balawai operations, while Balawai militia used gunships and other tracking methods to eliminate any threats. Over time, the Balawai discovered that the key to defeating the Korunnai was to eliminate the graassers. Any grasser found in the open was shot on sight, and the Korunnai were forced to respond. Balawai prospectors, known as jups, were ambushed in the jungles and never heard from again. Over the years, Korunnai children were taught to hate the Balawai, just as Balawai children were raised to shoot Korunnai on sight. Because the war was best fought during the late spring and early summer, before the autumn rainy season and the snows of winter made passage through the jungles impossible, the civil war became known as the Summertime War. During the autumn and winter, both sides spent their time getting ready for the next round of fighting. The Korunnai also came to hate the Separatists, since they supplied the Balawai with weapons and technology, while the Korunnai fought with primitive weapons and tactics. The Summertime War dragged on for many years until the Clone Wars, when the Separatists wooed the Balawai with promises of "freedom" in exchange for control of the Al'Har System. This, combined with the attempt by the Jedi Master Depa Billaba to bring the Korunnai into the Old Republic, forced Mace Windu to return to his homeworld. Once there, he and Depa launched a desparate plan to defeat the Balawai and eliminate Separatist control of the system. With victories at the Battle of Lorshan Pass and the capture of Pelek Baw, Masters Windu and Billaba helped the Korunnai finally defeat the Balawai. With the droid control center in Pelek Baw destroyed, the Separatists were also driven from the system. With the end of hostilities, the Korunnai and the Balawai agreed to work together to form a common and equally-represented government. (SHPT)

Summit Class
One of the more famous graduating classes of the Galactic Outdoor Survival School, Summit Class included the Rellarin scout Lunkar An. Summit Class held all the records for completing their final examinations for seven years, until their time of 129.1 standard hours was smashed by Twilight Class, which finished in just 103.7 hours. (AIR)

Summoning Gong
This massive gong was often used in palaces and other large estates to announce the arrival of a visitor. (CN1)

Sump
This planet, located along the border between the Mid Rim and the Outer Rim, was the homeworld of the Nuknog race. Nearly a millennium before the Battle of Yavin, the nuknog race literally sold their homeworld to a consortium of unscrupulous businessbeings in exchange for jobs, food, and accommodations. What they got were leftover rations, prefabricated barracks, and generations of indentured and unpaid labor. After several centuries, the Old Republic tried to intervene, shutting down the businesses and ordering hundreds of years of back wages to be paid. Eventually, Sump was returned to the Nuknog people. (IWE1, SWDB, UANT)

Sumptor, Banner
This Imperial officer was part of the team which was stranded on Dolis 3 in the wake of the peace accord signed between the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic. Banner joined Moff Derran Takkar in his plan to disrupt the wedding of Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker, as a way to strike back against the New Republic. Despite his loyalty to the Empire, Banner was unsure about the petty plans of Moff Takkar and his wife, Anlys. He went along with them, traveling to Coruscant and trying to take out Luke in a brawl, but couldn't bring himself to kill anyone. The wedding, in Banner's mind, was a sign that the galaxy was healing itself, and killing someone would only bring more strife. When Anlys ordered Banner to shoot Jari'kyn, so that the Imperials could steal Mara's wedding dress, Banner refused. Instead, he shot Anlys' escort and was nearly killed by Anlys, but Jari'kyn struck the woman on the head with a section of pipe. Banner and Jari'kyn incapacitated the Imperials, brought the dress to the wedding chapel, and then brought the Imperials to jail. Banner then decided to join the New Republic, and told the police about Moff Takkar's plans to disrupt the wedding. (U)

Sumria
This alien race was native to the Lol System. The Sumrias were known for their base-eight mathematical system, which was based on the fact that they had four fingers on each hand. The Sumrian thought-caste was generally credited with creating the Df measurement of weapons efficiency. (ISB)

Sumrian Thought-caste
This was the term used to describe the most intelligent and forward-thinking members of the Sumria race, which was native to the Lol System. (ISB)

Sumteh Ohleyz
This was a response to a clan greeting in the High Tongue, used by many Corellian families during the millennia before the Clone Wars. Usually, one's family name was inserted to indicate more detail on the relationship. Eventually, most families dropped the High Tongue in favor of the Basic language. (MJH)

Sun, Fe
This Jedi Padawan trained under Jedi Master Shaak Ti until she was ready to take the Jedi Trials. However, shortly after leaving Master Ti, Fe Sun was hunted down and killed by a group of mercenaries. Among the group was the woman Lyshaa, who was eventually apprehended by Shaak Ti and imprisoned on Brentaal for her part in Fe Sun's death. (J2)

Sun, Tobias
This man was one of the handful of Jedi Masters who survived the Massacre at Ossus and escaped to the Hidden Temple on Taivas. Master Sun was asked to see to the needs of Jariah Syn and Deliah Blue, when they accompanied Cade and Nat Skywalker to the Hidden Temple, some seven years later. Master Sun found a friend in Deliah Blue, who helped him get his custom-built swoop working enough to buzz through the Hidden Temple's vast halls. (SWLHT)

Sun Beetle
This was a species of bantha-sized insect that was raised by Kubaz insecticulture farmers on Kubindi. These insects were used as beasts of burden until they were replaced by machines. Kubaz chefs found that the chitin of a sun beetle had a distinctively sweet flavor, prompting a new reason to continue to raise these insects. Powdered sun beetle chitin was used in a variety of dessert dishes, as a dusting of sweetener that covered each serving. Although it had been deemed illegal, sun beetle fights were often staged in the criminal underground. (GG4, SWJ10, OWS)

Sun Bonnet
This was a slang term used by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe their helmets. This term was often used in the presence of civilians. (CWTV05)

Sun Caves
These natural grottoes were the home of the Golden Sun. (BGS)

Sun Crusher
This was the name given to the third-generation superweapon produced at the Empire's Maw Installation. Designed by Qwi Xux and built by Tol Sivron and his team, the Sun Crusher was a long, claw-shaped ship about the size of a six-man fighter. It was protected by nearly-indestructible quantum molecular armor plating, and had a transmitting dish mounted underneath. The dish was designed to launch a modulated resonance projectile into a star's core, causing the star to explode. The Sun Crusher flew in a unique upright position, similar to a B-Wing, but it had no wings or stabilizers. It was armed with five laser turrets mounted on top and at the four top corners. The prototype built at the Maw was discovered when Han Solo and Kyp Durron managed to escape from the Maw Installation by stealing the vessel, along with Qwi Xux, about seven years after the Battle of Endor. Their escape came just minutes before Admiral Daala planned to launch her own fleet, including the Sun Crusher, in an all-out attack against the New Republic. The Alliance High Command ordered that the Sun Crusher be destroyed, fearing that any government that would condone its use was no better than the Empire. The Sun Crusher was sent into the core of Yavin to be crushed, but it was later stolen by Kyp Durron. Kyp was under the influence of Exar Kun and the Dark Side of the Force, although his heinous actions worked - to a degree - in the New Republic's favor. With Exar Kun egging him on, Kyp believed that the Imperial weapon should be used to strike back against the Empire that created it. The Sun Crusher worked to perfection, as evidenced by Kyp's destruction of the Carida System and the Cauldron Nebula. Kyp was eventually tracked down by Han Solo, who convinced the young man to shake off the influence of Exar Kun and return the ship to the Republic. Mon Mothma ordered the vessel completely isolated, until Luke Skywalker begged for it to be turned over to him. He hoped to allow Kyp to fly it to the Maw and finally destroy it by sending into the collection of black holes. Luke also hoped that this would allow Kyp to finally put all the demons of his past behind him, and set him firmly on the path toward Jedi Knighthood. Luke's wish was granted, but their mission was altered when, upon reaching the Maw, they realized that the Death Star prototype at the Maw Installation had been activated. Rather than sitting back ildy, Kyp used the Sun Crusher to attack the prototype and disable. However, both vessel were caught in the intense graviational pull of the black holes, and were drawn in. Kyp managed to squeeze himself into a hyperspace message pod and eject from the Sun Crusher, before the superweapon was finally destroyed when it crossed the event horizon of the black holes of the Maw. (JS, DA, COTF, EGV)

Sun Crystal
This unusual gemstone was found only on the planet Jazbina. The crystals were mined in near-total darkness, in order to avoid activating the crystals. When they came into contact with light, sun crystals absorbed the light and then shone it back ten-fold in a blinding display. Jazbinans were known to become addicted to the intense light the crystals shed, and often stared into the planet's sun in an effort to relive the experience. However, this additional light only damaged their eyes further. The only way to cure the addiction was to remain in complete darkness until the urge to look into the light passed. (VQ)

Sun Disk
This was a symbol used by the greatest fighters from the planet Rattatak. Often worn as a belt buckle or clasp, the sun disk indicated an individual of exceptional skill. Asajj Ventress wore a bronzium sun disk on her belt. (CWVG)

Sun Djem
This was one of the marks of combat defined by the Jedi Knights as part of their lightsaber combat training. Sun djem involved the disarming of a opponent without causing physical injury. While sun djem was one of the basic objectives of Form I combat, the focus of subsequent Forms on the control of one's lightsaber made sun djem all but impossible against another Jedi. Sun Djem was also considered part of the Jung Ma class of sweep disciplines, since it involved the swinging of a lightsaber through a 360-degree turn. Thus, was was sometimes referred to as Sun Djem Jung Ma. (SWI62, SWGAL, EGF)

Sun Dragon
This was a species of large, avian reptile. (POT)

Sun Gun
This was a form of spear gun used by Sedrian warriors. (BGS)

Sun Jammer
This archaic form of transport used solar wind to move through space. These craft were incredibly large: the main collector dish measured 1,000 meters across, and the main fuselage was 450 meters long. During the Old Republic, and again as the New Order gained control of the galaxy, sun jammer races were quite popular. (GFT)

Sun King
This ancient man was the harbinger of summer, according to the Ewoks of the Forest Moon of Endor. He was the brother of the Leaf Queen and her sister, the Flower Queen. Their power to change the seasons resided in the beautiful Season Scepter, which was passed from sibling to sibling. (ECAR)

Sun Skimmer
This was the astrographical term used to describe any barren planet that traveled in an orbit that was very close to its primary star. (DSTR)

Sun Skipper 2000
This form of sun jammer was manufactured by Starshipwrights and Aerospace Engineers Incorporated. It required a pilot and co-pilot to operate, and could carry a single passenger and up to 300 kilograms of cargo. Many of these vehicles were modified for racing applications, during the height of the New Order. (GFT)

Sun Squadron
The designation of the TIE Fighters garrisoned at Revos, on the planet Storinal, shortly after the Battle of Endor. (WS)

Sunaj
The Star Destroyer Relentless was supposed to meet a supply convoy here, but it was destroyed by Alliance forces. (XW)

Sunaj IV
The Imperial frigate Juvani was destroyed by the Alliance near this planet. (FP)

Sunb, Sevv
This chubby Sullustan worked as a business manager for Vurrha, during the early years of the New Order. An accountant by trade, Sevv Sunb began his career working for a band of traveling entertainers. Their business soon expanded to include a bit of smuggling on the side, and Sevv Sunb quickly learned how to doctor the financial records to cover this illegal income. When the entertainers were apprehended by law enforcement agents, Sevv Sunb managed to escape, and set out to find a new employer. He eventually found Vurrha, and quickly became the crimelord's most trusted aide. Although Vurrha ran the operation, it was Sevv Sunb who provided information on funding and risk analysis, thereby keeping Vurrha's enterprise profitable and moving forward. His loyalty and efforts on behalf of Vurrha did not go unnoticed, and the crimelord helped his establish a private residence on Tatooine. (UA, WOTC)

Sunber, Janek
The grandson of a slave, this man was a native of the planet Tatooine who made his own way through the Imperial Academy, relying on brains and physical skills - rather than a Core Worlds background or political maneuvering - to succeed. This meant that, after he proved to be an average pilot during his training, he was relegated to a career in the infantry. This didn't deter him in the least, however. Where other officers used their connections to earn promotions, Sunber earned promotions through hard work and diligence. He was one of a handful of officers who worked side-by-side with the troops under his command, which earned him the respect of his troops.

Just after the Battle of Yavin, Lieutenant Sunber found himself stationed on Maridun with his commanding officers, Captain Gage and General Ziering. Although Ziering appreciated Sunber's opennes and candor, Gage and Commander Frickett thought him to be a pretensious poser whose only goal was to show up his immediate superiors. However, Sunber proved more than capable during an Amanin attack, and Ziering recognized that he was much more capable of commanding this forces that either Gage or Frickett. After Frickett's death and Gage's failure to estimate the enemy, Ziering promoted Sunber to Captain and placed him in charge of defending the survivors.

His success at Maridun earned him command of the ground forces that were later dispatched to Jabiim, to assist with the subjugation of that planet. He found himself almost immediately short-handed, after the Navy's orbital bombardment killed just as many Imperials as it did rebels. Although the ground assault was finally successful, Sunber found himself questioning the continued need to destroy families in the name of the Empire.

Further action during the Galactic Civil War brought him into contact with his childhood friend, Luke Skywalker, on the planet Kalist VI. Sunber, who had gone by the nickname "Tank" during his youth, had been assigned to the military forces protecting the prison complex and fuel production facilities on the planet. His contact with Luke was awkward at best, with Luke trying to hide the fact that he was actually working for the Alliance. After learning Luke's true allegiance, Sunber found himself unable to reconcile his devotion to the Empire and Luke's support of the Alliance. His emotion toward Luke changed quickly to hatred when Sunber learned that Luke had destroyed the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin. Sunber hated Luke for joining the Alliance, and secretly blamed him for the death of Biggs Darklighter at Yavin.

In the heat of these emotions, Sunber relayed information on Luke's identity to Darth Vader himself. Vader then tortured Sunber in an effort to gather more information, and forced him to record a message to Luke Skywalker himself. The message indicated that Sunber wanted to join the Alliance, and succeeded in drawing Luke to a remote part of the galaxy and into a trap. With the assistance of Deena Shan, Luke managed to rescue Sunber and return to the Alliance, where Sunber claimed to want to join. However, he was trailed everywhere he went, and he had horrific dreams of Luke's part in the destruction of the Death Star. Worse yet, he dreamed of Vader himself demanding that Sunber do everything in his power to destroy the rebellion.

When Jorin Sol finally succumbed to his brainwashing and transmitted the rebel fleet's location to the Empire, Sunber's own brainwashing took hold, and he set out to capture Luke aboard Rebel One, as well as Leia Organa and any other Alliance leaders he could find. His opportunity came during an Imperial attack on the rebel fleet, although Leia was badly injured during the attack. Luke's first priority was saving Leia, something Sunber hadn't anticipated. When Luke agreed to give his own life to let Leia go free, Sunber saw that Luke wasn't the monster that the Empire made him out to be. He did what he could to help Luke and Leia reach safety, but the battle outside caused massive internal damage to the ship. A sudden explosion left them dangling from a walkway, and Sunber did all he could to get Leia back into the walkway before his own grip slipped. Before Luke could grab him, Sunber plummeted to his apparent death, although no body was ever found, and a single escape pod was unaccounted for in the aftermath of the ambush. (SWELM, SWEWW, SWRMB)

Sunberry
This species of tree, native to the Forest Moon of Endor, was favored by the Ewoks for its succulent berries. (ECAR)

Sunbird
This Nharwaak transport vessel was destroyed during an Imperial raid on the Nharwaak;s hidden base, during the weeks that followed the Battle of Hoth. (TIE, TIEP)

Sunblossom
This beautiful flower was distinguished by its large blossoms, which opened every morning when the sun rose. Despite their pleasant appearance, a number of potent poisons could be extracted from its petals, leaves, and stalk. (HIV, TCD)

Sunburst Mining
This mining corporation operated a series on mines on the planet Cularin, during the height of the Old Republic. Sunburst spent a large sum of credits in developing a series of mines on Cloud Mountain, hoping to discover the large caches of rare minerals believed to have existed within the Mountain. However, the minerals were never found, and Sunburst went bankrupt when it couldn't repay the debts it incurred while digging the mines. (WOTC, EOS2)

Sund
This was a small weapons manufacturer that produced arms during the early stages of the New Order. (CCG3)

Sund, Elora
This young Sullustan Jedi Padawan was part of the task force dispatched to the planet Jabiim, during the height of the Clone Wars. Like many of the students who were forced into battle, Elora lost her Master to the Jabiimite rebels. Elora continued to adapt to the changing conditions, however, stealing a pair of repulsor boots to move about the battlefield with uncanny speed. She found herself growing attached to Tae Diath, as the battle ground on and the Padawans continued to fight. However, during their final stand against the forces of Alto Stratus, Tae was cut down by a group of assassin droids. Elora, connected to Tae through a link in the Force, caught the psychic backlash of his death in her mind. The blast was too powerful for her to handle, and she was killed instantly. (RBJ)

Sundance
This light exploration ship, piloted by Kyp Durron, accompanied the Courane and the Fireater during the defense of Nam Chorios from the fleet of Moff Getelles and Admiral Larm. (POT)

Sundar
The human inhabitants of Sundari. (SWJ5)

Sundari
This planet, the third in the Garos System, was settled about 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. It was an arid world, with little or no natural resources except the ores that can be extracted from its rocky surface. A number of mining operations sprang up, and were supported only through sustained trade with Sundari's planetary neighbor, Garos IV. Over the millennia, a mutual relationship evolved which was recently broken. About 200 years prior to the Battle of Yavin, Sundars began moving to Garos IV, and the cultural mix began to grate. An intense civil war broke out, and lasted 82 years before Tork Winger and Tionthes Turi were able to come to an agreement over its ending. Small violations of the truce were noted until the Empire invaded the system, when all such "petty battles" were summarily put to rest. (SWJ5)

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

Sunder
This was the name of Jedi Master Plo Koon's personal space transport ship. (WOTC)

Sunder 9
This was the codename used by Doctor Nashiak Llalik for his first design of personal power armor. The design itself was scrapped when personal armor was outlawed by the Empire, but he used many of its innovative features in the design of the armor worn by zero-g stormtroopers. The Sunder 9 prototype was armed with a blaster cannon and a flame thrower, and had a rocket pack for quick movements. It provided protection in aquatic and zero-g environments, and used a heat-sensitive body glove to protect the wearer. A sensor package and active monitors provided the wearer with a 270-degree field of vision, in light or dark, and even underwater. (AIR)

Sundiver
This Acclamator-class troop transport was the flagship of the fleet that was assigned to Jedi Masters Saesee Tiin and Plo Koon, during their mission to prevent the defection of Rendili's home fleet, near the end of the Clone Wars. (RDR)

Sundog 1
This CR90 corvette and its sister ship, the Sundog 2, served as escorts for the convoy of Alliance ships that was attempting to supply Admiral Harkov's fleet during its defection, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. The convoy of ships, including both Sundog corvettes, was destroyed during an Imperial ambush that was led by Maarek Stele. (TIE, TIEP)

Sundog 2
This CR90 corvette and its sister ship, the Sundog 1, served as escorts for the convoy of Alliance ships that was attempting to supply Admiral Harkov's fleet during its defection, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. The convoy of ships, including both Sundog corvettes, was destroyed during an Imperial ambush that was led by Maarek Stele. (TIE, TIEP)

Sundown, Taxer
This land baron controlled much of the moisture farming property on Ord Mantell, during the last decades of the Old Republic. He arrived on Ord Mantell with the goal of "cleaning up" the planet, but he simply killed the existing land barons and usurped their operations. Sundown then blamed the deaths on the Mantellian savrips, and incited the villagers to kill the savrips. In the meantime, Sundown set up his operations on Ten Mile Plateau, where he operated a solar energy collection facility. He employed a group of lightsaber-wielding enforcers to protect his facility, in an effort to enhance his projected image as a former Jedi Knight. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered that the enforcers lacked any independent will, as if Sundown were controlling them with The Force. When the Jedi began to discover Sundown's true motivations, he tried to capture Nella Bold and kill the Jedi. When he tried to escape in Nella's T-24 speeder, Sundown was unprepared for Obi-Wan's attack. Obi-Wan managed to destroy the top fin on the speeder, and Sundown was unable to control the craft. It crashed on Ten Mile Plateau, and Sundown's neck was broken in the crash. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan then discovered that Sundown had been using a mind-control device to augment his claims of being a Jedi Knight, as part of a grander plot masterminded by Baroness Omnino to discredit the Jedi. (LSOM)

Sun-dragon
According to the mythology of the planet Tatooine, a sun-dragon lived inside the stars Tatoo I and Tatoo II. Smaller cousins of these sun-dragons were believed to inhabit the cores of fusion furnaces. (E3N)

Sune, Jorga
This man was a crimelord who lived in the city of Iritsa, on Chazwa, during the height of the New Order. He was the only serious rival to Hahz Fallone, and the two maintained an uneasy cease-fire in order to keep the city intact. Sune later revealed that he had helped Fallone begin mining the the planet Eckless, but Fallone later stabbed Sune in the back and made off with the Black Sphere. Sune spent much of his resource trying to locate the Sphere. Shortly after the Sphere was returned to Eckless, Sune and his forces were destroyed by an Imperial fleet while they were searching for the location of Eckless. For some reason, they had stumbled into a system which was deemed off-limited by the Empire, as a result of using the coordinates the found in a false Black Sphere they acquired from Fallone. (ND)

Sune, Shelta
This female Devaronian was engaged to mary Lavek Talstin, until he got cold feet and fled Devaron. Shelta begged her mother, aunts, and sisters to find him, so they sent their husbands on a continual series of missions to recover Lavek. (CRO)

Sunesi
This sentient race of humanoid amphibians evolved on the planet Monor II. In their native language, the word Sunesi means "pilgrim." The Sunesi were born as furry, senseless creatures who have little idea of the world around them. They were born with diffuse nervous systems and the ability to breathe in the planet's cirrifog-dense atmosphere. After about 15 standard years, they went into a hibernation-like state and began to pupate.

It was at this time that the cirrifog atmosphere of Monor II was most important, for the small crystals in the fog were a necessary part of their metamorphosis. When mixed with their natural sweat, the crystals in the cirrifog helped create a protective coccoon. Inside the coccoon, the young Sunesi were transformed into adults. However, the coccoon's shell became quite hard, and many juvenile Sunesi did not survive their pupation because they could not break out of it. Those that do emerge from their coccoon became intelligent, hairless adults.

The turquoise-colored adults had the ability to speak with their mouths, but they could also communicate by using ultrasonic waves created within their large crania. Their enlarged heads earned them the nickname "lumpheads" from the Imperial forces that occupied Monor II during the Galactic Civil War. The Sunesi have long, thin limbs, and four thin fingers on each hand. The blood of a Sunesi was bright pink in color.

The fact that all living adults had survived the metamorphosis evolved into a species-wide belief in reincarnation. (SWJ10, OWS)

Sunfighter Franchise
This was an alias used by Han Solo for the Millennium Falcon during the early years of the Empire. He used this alias when he landed on Etti IV to pay off his debt to Ploovo Two-for-One, after delivering weapons to insurrectionists on Duroon. (HSE)

Sunfire 1000
This flame projector unit was developed and manufactured by Merr-Sonn during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It could be mounted on an atmospheric craft or speeder. (SHPT)

Sunfire Outpost
This remote outpost was located in the deserts of the planet Tatooine, and was established to serve as an early-warning site for vicious storms or Tusken Raider attacks. It was eventually abandoned after a wave of Tusken Raider attacks decimated the support staff and pillaged its supplies. Over time, the ruins of Sunfire Outpost became a haven for desert travelers, although it was constantly under the watchful eyes of the Tusken Raiders. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Imperial forces tried to occupy the outpost, but were driven off by the Tusken Raiders. (SWMW)

Sunfruit
This species of small fruit was usually consumed in its raw state, but was also fermented and used to make a flavorful liqueur. (SE, IF, DSTR)

SunGem
Jedi Master Arca Jeth's Delaya-class courier, the Sungem seemed to many of Master Arca's contemporaries to be too powerful a ship for a Jedi. However, these detractors had never actually been inside the courier ship. He had converted most of the cargo space into Jedi training facilities, and adorned the ship with Jedi sigils and a few personal artifacts. Individual chambers could have their environments altered to suit the needs of alien species, and could help Master Arca simulate hostile environments. (EGV, TOJC)

Sunglobe
An Ithorian light source. Also called a solar globe. (COJ)

Sungrass
This Xiytiar-class freighter was assigned to Wraith Squadron by the New Republic, during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. Commanded by Captain Valton, the ship was ugly but nonetheless spaceworthy. (IF)

Sungwa
A huge, doglike creature found on Bodgen. (DCAR)

Sun-jammer Racing
This sport was known in casinos which catered to betting on sporting events. (GG11)

Sunken City
As its name implies, this abandoned city had begun sinking below the surface of the planet Aquilaris. About half of the city remained above the water, and the natives of Aquilaris left it in this state as a monument to those that survived its demise. During the last decades of the Old Republic, several podracing courses wound around and through the sunken city. (RAC)

Sunken City Run
This was the name given to the pro-circuit podrace which wound through the continually-changing city of Sunken City, on the planet Aquilaris. (RAC)

Sunlet, Merc
This native of Tirac Munda was a crafty thief with a heart of gold. Well-travelled and highly skilled, Sunlet was proficient in many languages. He was often hired by wealthy individuals who wanted him to find holes in their personal security systems. (CCG2)

Sunlight Franchise
Han Solo and Droma used this alias for the Millennium Falcon when they traveled to Tholatin in search of information on the whererabouts of Roa and Droma's family. Han assumed the identity of Miek while using this alias. (JE, SBS)

Sun-lizard
This reptile, native to the planet Tralus, could regenerate its limbs and tail. (EGP)

Sun-miner
A small spacecraft used by various ancient gas mining crews to collect elements from the corona of a star. (TOJR)

Sunn-Childe, Cody
This anti-Imperial radical was one of Mon Mothma's early supporters, during the formation of the Alliance. An unusual humanoid being with a frog-like face and tall pointed ears, Sunn-Childe later left the Alliance and a life of violence behind. He established a base of operations on an unusual starship, which resembled a floating jungle with a dome-covered city at its core. This starship was capable of inter-dimensional travel, and escaped the known galaxy for many years until Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca stumbled upon it, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. It was on this strange ship that Sunn-Childe and his followers sought to escape from the madness of the Galactic Civil War, after Sunn-Childe himself emerged rejuvenated from the fires maintained by the M'ust race. It was from the M'ust that Sunn-Childe learned to control his desire for violence, and eventually became a peace-loving individual. It was from the Flame-God of the M'ust that Sunn-Childe claimed to have learned the ability to bring his dreams to life, a skill that allowed him to build his wondrous spacecraft and travel between dimensions. However, all his repressed violence manifested itself as the jungle outside the city, where dangerously wild M'ust patrolled the environs, contained only through tremendous effort on the part of Sunn-Childe himself. When Captain Plikk and her Imperial forces discovered the inter-dimensional location of Sunn-Childe's floating city, she tried to destroy it using the combined firepower of her ships. Sunn-Childe's anger at being attacked flared up, manifesting itself as powerful demons that crippled the Imperial ships. Appalled at his own violence, Sunn-Childe and his majordome Beelyard decided that there could be no peace without sacrifice. Knowing that the Imperial ships were badly damaged, Sunn-Childe called off the demon attack, allowing Plikk to restart her own assault. Plikk used energy from her ships' hyperdrives to destroy Sunn-Childe's floating city, but in doing so she stranded her fleet in the interdimensional nothingness. (NEGC, MC46)

SunnGunn
This small corporation produced a variety of industrial-strength light sources. (WSV)

Sunnida
This group of smugglers' freighters was detained by Imperial Customs for carrying illegal drugs during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Sunny Side of Ryloth
This song, written and played by the band Red Shift Limit, first appeared on the compilation Thoughts from the Core. It was banned by the Imperial Board of Culture. (GG9)

Sunpetal
This flower was found on the planet Timora, where it was grown for its spectacular blossoms. (SWJ4, OWS)

Sunray
This was the name used by the Toydarian junk dealer Watto to describe his custom-built starship reactor core, which he sold to his customers from his Mos Espa shop on Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Sunray Mark III
This was the upgraded version of Watto's custom-built Sunray reactor core, produced during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Sunrider
This was the name of the small transport ship used by Jedi Master Ikrit, during the early decades of the New Republic. Ikrit found the ship in the hangar at Bast Castle, on the planet Vjun, during a mission to recover the lightsaber of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Anakin Solo, the grandson of the castle's builder, Darth Vader, decided that Ikrit could have the ship for his own use. Ikrit named the ship for Nomi Sunrider, an ancient Jedi Knight who gave up the use of her lightsaber in much the same way that Ikrit had done. The ship was later stolen by Uldir Lochett, when he tried to apprentice himself to the Mage Orloc as a youth. Uldir flew the Sunrider to Exis Station to meet Orloc, and parked the ship in an abandoned docking bay. Unfortunately for Uldir and Master Ikrit, the Ranats which had infested the station dismantled the ship for parts. (VF, KB)

Sunrider, Andur
Andur was the grandson of Jev Sunrider, and followed in his footsteps to take up training with the force. Andur trained initially under Master Chamma, until Chamma could no longer teach him. Andur had not yet completed his training, however. Master Chamma sent him to take some Adegan crystals to Master Thon, and to continue his training on Ambria, so Andur packed up his wife, Nomi, and their infant daughter, Vima, and headed for the Stenness System. However, upon reaching the main spaceport terminal, Andur tried to avoid a confrontation with some thugs and was killed by the bite of a gorm worm when his attention was elsewhere. (TOJ, TOJC)

Sunrider, Jev
This ancient Jedi Knight served as the watchman of the Darada System four millennia before the Battle of Yavin. He was later dispatched to Krayiss Two with three other Jedi Masters, to determine the cause of the evil growing there. None of the Jedi ever returned, but Jev's shimmering ghost soon appeared to his grandson, Andur, imploring Andur to take up the Jedi training nad help confront the growing evil in the galaxy. (TOJC)

Sunrider, Nomi
The wife of Andur Sunrider, Nomi accompanied her husband on a mission to deliver Adegan crystals from Master Chamma to Master Thon. When they were waylayed in the Stenness System and Andur was killed, Nomi suddenly realized that she was as strong with the Force as her husband was, if not stronger. She quickly dispatched the thugs that killed Andur, using his lightsaber to cut them down. She feared the use of the weapon, and later continued her dead husband's trek through the Stenness System to deliver the Adegan crystals to Ambria. There, she herself picked up the Jedi training that was meant for her husband. She trained under Master Thon, who discovered that Nomi was proficient in the use of Jedi battle meditation. Thon also started training Nomi's daughter, Vima. When Bogga the Hutt pursued Nomi and her Adegan crystals to Ambria, Nomi again resisted the use of the lightsaber, but took it up to defend her Jedi Master. She dispatched Bogga's minions, and strode further down the path to becoming a Jedi. It was later revealed by Thon that Nomi's coming was foretold in at least one of the Jedi Prophecies. She was later assigned to assist Ulic Qel-Droma in quelling the civil war in Onderon system, and eventually fell in love with Ulic. That love was short-lived, though, for Ulic fell down the path to the Dark Side of the Force in his attempt to penetrate the Krath. They tried to defeat the Krath in the Empress Teta System, but were repelled. She was part of the Great Council on Deneba, and later returned to the Tetan System to try and persuade Ulic from his dark quest. Her love for him proved to be lesser than his desire to avenge Arca's death, and he left to become Exar Kun's apprentice. She returned to Master Thon, and was caught by Crado and Oss Wilum, who had come to kill Thon as part of Exar Kun's pogrom. She and Sylvar were able to stave off the attack, but Nomi was drawn deeper into the Great Sith War. When Ulic Qel-Droma was captured and brought to trial on Coruscant, Nomi went with Cay Qel-Droma and Tott Doneeta to try and appeal to Ulic. His Sith possession was too deep for Nommi's love, and the appearance of Exar Kun only strengthened Ulic's powers. Nomi and the other Jedi were powerless as Kun executed Vodo-Siosk Baas, and struggled to follow Ulic and Kun to the Auril Systems. Nomi went to Ossus to assist with the evacuation of the Jedi libraries after Aleema destroyed the Cron System, and was again caught up in Ulic's demise. After Ulic murdered his brother, Cay, Nomi was so enraged that she used the Force in an attempt to cut Ulic off from the Force. Her anger made the attempt extremely effective, and Ulic was completely cut off from the energy of the Force. She resolved herself to the fact that Ulic would never love her again. In the aftermath of the Great Sith War, Nomi threw herself into politics and was the driving force behind the Exis Convocation, but lost tracked of her daughter Vima, who stowed away on Hoggon's ship to seek out Ulic on Rhen Var. Joined by Sylvar, Nomi traveled to Rhen Var to recover her daughter. She discovered that Ulic had never forgotten her, and had in fact carved the likenesses of Nomi and Andur into a cliff of ice with Vima's help. However, she was unprepared for Sylvar's arrival on Rhen Var, and even less prepared for Hoggon's killing of Ulic. After Ulic's body disappeared into the Force, Nomi vowed to focus more on the training of her daughter. Although the Jedi histories don't provide any further information on Nomi Sunrider, it was known that her daughter Vima continued the line of Sunrider Jedi Knights, and her line was thought to be ended with the death of Vima-da-Boda. (TOJ, DA, DLS, TSW, EGC, TOJR, ECH)

Sunrider, Vima
The daughter of Andur and Nomi Sunrider, Vima was born with a rich family heritage in the use of the Force. Little in known about her early training following the death of her father, but she showed an innate ability to talk with animals. During the Exis Convocation, Vima grew bored when her mother refused to train. Using her rudimentary skills with the Force, Vima stowed away on Hoggon's and convinced him to take her to Ulic Qel-Droma on Rhen Var. Vima believed that Ulic would train her in the Jedi way, despite his lack of contact with the Force, but was unprepared for his initial wrath. However, Ulic realized that Vima had been sent to him for a reason, and agreed to train her. Vima was a quick study, and soon built her own lightsaber. However, to Ulic's dismay, Vima began to grow impatient with the learning process. She was quickly calmed by Ulic, who feared losing her to the Dark Side fof the Force. When Nomi arrived on Rhen Var to take her home, Vima refused to leave Ulic's side. Ulic, for all his despair, discussed things with Nomi and convinced her that he had tried his best to lead Vima toward the Light Side of the Force. When Ulic was killed by Hoggon, Vima and Nomi saw Ulic's body disappear into the Force, and realized that he still had the heart of a Jedi. With his last breath, Ulic proclaimed Vima to be a Jedi herself. Vima returned with her mother, who continued her training. (TOJ, TOJR)

Sunrider's Destiny
This dark green gemstone was believed to have been named for Nomi Sunrider. Records from the ancient Jedi Order revealed that the crystal could be used as a focusing crystal in a lightsaber, provided that a Jedi Knight could tap into the Force and properly tune it. The crystal disappeared in the wake of the Clone Wars. (SWGAL)

Sunrise
This news program picked up the story initially written by Cindel Towani for The Life Monitor, detailing the various accounts of New Republic armed forces who fought and died during the Black Fleet Crisis. The article, drafted by Hiram Drayson, was designed to help bolster public support of Leia Organa-Solo. (TT)

Sunrunner
This immense, ocean-going cutter was one of the fastest ships on the planet Maramere, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Ambassador Loreli Ro turned control of the ship over to Nym and his mercenaries, during their search for Sol Sixxa. The Sunrunner was unarmed, so Nym's crew took weaponry from their starhsip Havoc and mounted them aboard the Sunrunner. The ship was destroyed in the final battle between Nym and Sol Sixxa, when Nym purposely overloaded its power generators and crashed it into the Trade Federation cutter commanded by Ruuk. With the Federation ship out of the way, Nym asked Sol Sixxa to join his mercenary gang in fighting the Trade Federation's occupation of the Karthakk System. (CRBN)

Sunrunner zX
This Ikas-Adno landspeeder measured 6.2 meters in length. (GG7)

Sunry
This former solder was among the many who fought for the Old Republic during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. A noted pilot, he was crippled in battle, but was later awarded the Republic' Hero's Cross medal for his valor. Sunry and his wife, Elora, were married for many years before it was discovered that Sunry was having an affair. It turned out that the woman he was seeing was actually the Sith officer, Elassa. Sunry admitted his mistake, and agreed to end the affair, only to find that Elassa had been murdered in their hotel room. Sunry fled the scene, but several witnesses saw him leave. He was accused of Elassa's murder and brought to trial, where his old friend Jolee Bindo agreed to defend him in court. As the trial played out, it became obvious that Sunry had been the victim of a Sith plot to infiltrate the Republic's military command. His ending of the affair thwarted that plan, so the Sith chose to murder Elassa and plant his Hero's Cross on her body, in an effort to discredit the Republic by implicating him in the crime. Sunry was eventually found innocent, but Elassa's killer was never identified. (KOTOR)

Sunset Cantina
This bar was located beneath the surface of Imperial City, on the planet Coruscant, during the years surrounding the era of the Clone Wars. After the formation of the Galactic Empire, the Sunset Cantina became one of the many meeting places used by operatives of the Whiplash organization. (CN3)

Sunset Crown
This was the term used by Lord Cronal to describe the specialized Crown he planned to don, after capturing Luke Skywalker and turning the Jedi Knight into a Pawn. The Sunset Crown would then allow Lord Cronal to transfer his own consciousness into Skywalker's body, so that Cronal could shed his dying form and assume a younthful body as he attempted to live forever. The Sunset Crown was created using Sith magicks, a form of transmitter and transformer that used the energy of the Force instead of electromagnetic energy as a source of power. (LSSM)

Sunset Piers
This was the name given to the marina and port located near the city of Corocus, on Pydyr. (EGP)

Sunshine
This was the name of the reeho bird caught by Reanyn, who was unaware that T'laerean Larn was controlling the bird's mind. (SWJ14)

Sunslinger

Sunspot Squadron
This Imperial TIE Fighter squadron was commanded by General Weir, and patrolled the Corellian System from a secret base on Tralus, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Much of the squadron was destroyed by the Alliance ships of Rogue Squadron during a brief battle just days after the Battle of Endor, when Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles led a small band of agents into the Corellian System to investigate the Imperial presence there. (XWRL)

Suns-scorched Ball
This was a common nickname used by the natives of the planet Tatooine to describe their homeworld. (GG7, OWS)

Sunstar
This was a magical stone discovered by the Ewoks. The Ewoks refused to use the Sunstar, fearing that its magical power was too strong for them to control. Only the shamn Logray ever dared to use it, combining it with Morag's Shadowstone to defeat the Tulgah witch and maintain the freedom of the Ewoks. (ECAR, SWDB)

Sunstone
This form of rock gives off an intense glow which was accompanied by a great amount of heat, much like the light and heat given off by a sun. They were often used to heat barren asteroid bases. (TNR)

Sun-stone
This was a type of valuable gemstone. (LCS)

Sunt, Lanya
This Sermerian served as the Chief Constable of Sermeria's planetary police force, during the years just prior to the Clone Wars. (HNN4)

Sunulok
This Yuuzhan Vong warship, a greater version of the Vua'spar interdictor, was the flagship of Warmaster Tsavong Lah. Like most of the Yuuzhan Vong forces, the Sunulok had been en route to the galaxy for many years, and certain parts of the ship had begun to die off. Nevertheless, the ship still maintained all its weapons and shielding systems, and served well as the Warmaster's vessel. Primary among the ship's operative systems was the collection of dovin basals it used as a gravity well projector and tractor beam. These dovin basals were used to drag New Republic starships out of hyperspace for boarding. Shortly after the Battle of Duro, the Sunulok found itself under attack from Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon. Solo had been running a series of privateer missions for Luke Skywalker's Great River, and ambushed the Sunulok. In a bold maneuver, Han released a cargo of liquid hydrogen in the vicinity of the Sunulok and began firing into it. The hydrogen didn't burn, lacking oxygen in the vacuum of space. However, when exited by the blaster bolts and drawn into the gravity wells of the dovin basals, the hydrogen became quickly compressed. This caused each blasted glob of hydrogen to become a miniature fusion reactor, dumping incredible amounts of energy into the Sunulok's systems. This overloaded the ship, shutting down the organic tractor beam and allowed Han to escape. The Yuuzhan Vong were able to regroup, and eventually the Warmaster launched Battle Plan Coruscant. In the first wave of ships to attack the planet, the Sunulok led an assault from a position hidden in the OboRin Comet Cluster. However, the initial response from the New Republic forces was formidable, and the Sunulok was disabled early in the battle. The ship was badly damaged as the Republic's forces struggled to capture the yammosk hidden inside, and their efforts were ultimately successful. The Warmaster and his crew were forced to abandon the Sunulok and leave it for dead. (BP, EVR, SBS, NJOSB)

Sunwhip Flightknife
This group of Adumari Blade-32 fighters served aboard the Allegiance during the defense of Adumar. (SOA)

Sunwolf
This was a model of Ikas-Adno speederbike, and was company's first entry into the military market. It was based on the civilian Starhawk bike, and was a one-seater. Other than this, and the addition of a laser cannon, the Sunwolf was identical to the Starhawk. (SWJ10)

Suoi Tre
This cargo carrier was part of the Dimok naval forces, during the latter stages of the Sepan Civil War. (TIEP)

Suolriep
This planet, the capital world of the Suolriep Sector, was the sight of an Alliance base prior to the Battle of Yavin. (CCG, AIR)

Suolriep Sector
This area of the galaxy contained the planet Suolriep. (AIR)

Supa Fighter
This starfighter was manufactured by Joraan Drive Yards for Black Sun, during the height of the New Order. The basic design was armed with a pair of laser cannons, a light ion cannon, and two concussion missile launchers. (XWA)

Supan, Orik
This was a noted individual in the history of the Paigun race. (GORW)

Super Battle Droid
This was a greatly-enhanced version of the basic B1-series battle droid, produced by Baktoid Combat Automata for the Trade Federation during the years following the Battle of Naboo. The original B1-series design, which mimicked the skeleton of a Neimoidian, lacked independent programming and had several pieces of sophisticated technology mounted externally. This meant that the basic battle droid needed a Droid Control Ship to receive orders, and was subject to damage in the field. The Super Battle Droid - designated the B2-series - was Baktoid's attempt to solve these design issues. The torso and upper body of the Super Battle Droid was essentially a beefed-up version of the B1 body, with improved armor plating to protect the droid componentry inside. A dedicated double laser cannon was built into the droid's right arm, and its manipulator arms could operate several other weapon types. This dedicated double laser cannon was fired electronically, and thus could not be used by organic beings. The feet of the Super Battle Droid were detachable, allowing the droid to be fitted with grasping claws or magnetic units to operation in a variety of environments.

Despite the fact that the B2-series battle droids were produced to operate independently, they were not necessarily intelligent. It was discovered that SBDs would stop firing at an opponent that had moved out of its visual range, a flaw that many Jedi Knights took advantage of during the Clone Wars. These combat droids were also designed to work from a distance, and were easily defeated if a clone trooper could get close to the droid, where it could not bring its weapons to bear. Despite their price - the average Super Battle Droid cost about 200 times the cost of a B-1 series unit - large numbers of these combat automatons were purchased by the Confederacy of Independent Systems for their own defense. With the end of the Clone Wars, all B2-series battle droids were issued orders to deactivate, as part of Darth Sidious' plan to consolidate military power and ensure the loyalty of his troops. (SWDB, MBS, VD3, NEGD, CVD, RC66)

Super Battle Droid Dispenser
This was essentially the stationary version of the MTT developed by the Trade Federation, but designed to accommodate the B2-series Super Battle Droid. Each dispenser was an immense, armor-plating unti that could be deployed in the midst of a battlezone. Each dispenser was heavily armored, and provided a sort of base for its contigent of droids to return to for recharging or resupply of ammunition. These units were deployed regularly during the Clone Wars. (LAWS)

Super Clanker
This was a sland term used by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe a Super Battle Droid. (CWOC1)

Super Tank
This assault tank was developed by the Geonosians who supported the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the months that followed the Battle of Geonosis. The super tank was based on the original designs for the MTT troop transport, and was developed using new armor plating techniques and using the vehicle's internal space to add more weaponry and firepower.The super tank was developed in secrecy, along with new waves of battle droids, in an attempt to surprise the Galactic Republic and gain an advantage in the early stages of the Clone Wars. However, Republic Intelligence teams learned of the secret factories on Geonosis, and sent three Jedi task forces to eliminate them. Poggle the Lesser, at the direction of his tactical droid, TX-21, deployed a group of the new super tanks to attack the Republic's ground forces. Although it was deployed before all designs were finalize, the super tank performed well against the clone troopers and AT-TEs of the Grand Army of the Republic, taking very little damage from conventional weaponry while decimating the Republic's forces. (CWTV28)

Super TIE/In
This starfighter was developed at the Maw Installation, although the plans for it never reached Imperial space or Seinar Fleet Systems. The Super TIE/In was an improvement on the basic TIE Fighter, but still lacked a hyperdrive. The primary advances were inproved power supply and increased thrust. (JASB)

Super Transport VI
An outdated container ship manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards. (WS)

This was the term used by certain Imperial and Alliance personnel to describe the Executor-class Star Destroyer that was built by Kuat Drive Yards for the Empire. Often simply referred to as a Super Star Destroyer, the term usually referred to any ship that was larger than the standard Imperial-class Star Destroyer. This term was later used to describe any massive ship in the Star Destroyer family, including warships such as the Eclipse and the Vengeance. (IWST, DSTR, SSOG)

Super-collider
This was one of the more powerful starship reactor cores produced by Armek, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Supercommando Codex
This was the name used by Jaster Mereel to describe the new set of tenets and canons that he developed to oversee the new Mandalorian Mercs, several decades before the onset of the Clone Wars. The Codex was created to define the rules and roles of his new supercommandos, in an effort to unite the disparate clans of Mandalorian Mercs under a single leader. Although many followers of the Mandalorian codes agreed with Jaster and the Codex, many others - Vizsla and Montross among them - broke away from Jaster's band in protest over the new laws. (SWI80, NECH)

Supercommandos

SuperHaul Model II
This was the second-generation cargo skiff, originally produced by Ubrikkian during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Measuring 9.2 meters in length, the SuperHaul Model II could carry up to twenty passengers or 135 metric tons of cargo. (IA, SWRPG2, AA23)

SuperHaul Model IIA mod 3
This Ubrikkian Industries cargo skiff was modified for used as an aquatic hunting platform. At twelve meters in length, and equipped with a pair of power harpoons, these craft were used to hunt large fish. The Model IIA mod 3 required a pilot, co-pilot, and two gunners to operate, and could carry two passengers and 150 metric tons of fish. (GSE)

Superior
This was one of the few Imperial-class Star Destroyers to survive the Yuuzhan Vong's initial attack on the Imperial Remnant, a year or so after the Battle of Coruscant. Unfortunately, the ship was destroyed at the Battle of Bastion. (FH1)

Superior Boarding Armor
This model of personal, armored spacesuit was produced by Merr-Sonn, and was described as spacetrooper armor for the independent spacer. (PP)

SuperKnight: The Awakening
This popular holofilm starred Harlan Ottekvar. (HNN5)

Superlaser
The most powerful, destructive weapons ever created, superlasers use a huge fusion reactor core and turbine generators to create the intense bundles of energy they unleash. These weapons were first used aboard the Death Star space stations. Multiple superlasers were set around the Death Star's laser eye, and focused on a point just beyond the Death Star's perimeter. When the multiple energy beams met, they collided and combined. The beams were then thrust out on a single path toward their target. The intense power generated by these mutliple beams was sufficient to destoy a planet. The Empire also modified the Death Star superlasers for use on the Eclipse-class and Sovereign-class Star Destroyers. These superlasers were mounted axially on the huge Star Destroyers, allowing the vessels to maintain position and orientation during and after the generation of the laser blast. (E4, E6, ISB, DE1)

Superlaser Mark II
This was the designation of the primary weapon used aboard the second Death Star. The primary difference between this weapon and that of the first Death Star was in its targetting capability. The Mark II superlaser could target something as small as a capital ship, where the original superlaser was unable to target anything smaller than a moon. (CCG11)

Superlift Ore Hauler
Designed and manufactured by Corellian Engineering Corporation, this 155-meter-long starship was known to be slow, sluggish, barely armored, and poorly protected. Thus, it was often escorted from its prospecting runs. The Superlift required a crew of 10, and could transport up to five passengers and 90,000 metric tons of ore. (PP)

Superluminal Transit
This was the name used by the Yuuzhan Vong to describe their organic hyperdrive technology. (JE)

Super-Mangler

Supernova Advanced
This was the second generation of the Supernova starship reactor core that was produced by Koensayr during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Supernova Mark III
This was the designation of Koensayr's mid-level starship reactors, produced during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Supernova Torpedo
see Resonance Torpedo (COTF)

Superskytower
This was the generic term that was used to describe any massively tall building, often reaching heights of two kilometers or more. These structures were named for the fact that they reached nearly to the sky, and their upper floors were often shrouded in clouds. (DSTR, CN1)

Superstruct
This was the name given to BioTech's skeletal reinforcement system. It was originally designed for implantation into the bodies of those being who suffered from degenerative bone disorders, where the natural skeletal system was unable to support the rest of the body. In an intense surgical operation, the entire skeleton of an individual was augmented with unique polymers and alloys that provided strength, stability, and protection. Some of these implants eventually made it to the black market, where all manner of criminals had their skeleton enhanced for durability. (HG)

Supi
This was one of the two female Lethan Twi'leks who accompanied Orn Free Taa everywhere, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Note that Star Wars Chronicles - The Prequels indicates that Supi was a green-skinned Twi'lek. (SWDB, CHRN2)

Supi
This green-skinned Twi'lek female was a Senatorial representative of her homeworld, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (VD2)

Supply and Procurement
A branch of the Alliance's operations, Winter worked there on Averam for a few weeks, where she was known as "Targeter." (TLC)

Supply Depot Thrago
This was the Chiss resupply installation established on Thrago. It was used with greater regularity during the expand of the Colony, when the Chiss used Thrago to keep its warships ready to confront any Killik aggression. Jaina Solo, her brother Jacen, and Zekk launched a sneak attack on the depot at Thrago, some five years after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, in an effort to disrupt the advances of the Chiss against the Killik hives of the Colony. Jacen, however, had his own motivation for joining the mission, having seen a vision in which the entire galaxy was plunged into unending war with the Colony if the Chiss were allowed to press their advantage. Jaina, upon realizing that Jacen was working to destroy the Colony, refused to talk to him for the duration of the war. (DN2, DN3)

Suppoon, Gaar
This alien criminal was a rival of Jabba the Hutt's during the early years of the New Order. Suppoon was a pink-skinned humanoid with a long face and thin limbs. His nose and chin were studded with a pair of short tusks. The name "Gaar" was a title of respect among his people. Suppoon was responsible for the destruction of Kosh Kurp's village and family, although he was known as Sonopo Bomoor then. Kurp tracked the alien across the galaxy, and finally caught up with him, thanks to a plan devised by Jabba the Hutt. When Jabba revealed that Suppoon was really Bomoor, Kosh Kurp decided it was time to repay Bomoor. Suppoon tried to shot Kurp, but the laser blast deflected off Kurp's armor and blasted Suppoon's head off. Jabba turned Suppoon's holdings over to Kurp. (JTH)

Suppressor
This heavy blaster pistol was produced by the Trandoshans during the height of the New Order. (SWGAL)

SupraLink
This ancient form of personal body armor was produced by ProTech, and was formed from interlocking rings of plasteel. (TOJC)

Suprema
This was the appellation adopted by Ampotem Za, during the height of the New Order. Za, a member of the Shimholt race, was the leader of the slavers who took control of the planet Mandalore. The title of Suprema was one of honor to the Shimholt, and represented Za's heritage, even though he had been exiled from his homeworld of Kar'a'katok. Rumored to have been picked for the positon by Emperor Palpatine himself, the Suprema imprisoned Tobbi Dala, and later gloated to Leia Organa that he would also capture Fenn Shysa. However, when Shysa infiltrated the slavers' skeleton base, the Suprema was captured and the slave ring broken. In the fight to secure the base, the Suprema was killed when Tobbi Dala shut the base's blastdoors before a group of airspeeders could launch. The Suprema, and the rest of the slavers, died in the resulting explosion. (LTA4, MC69, OWS)

This was the name used to describe the leader of the Tof invasion force which took control of the planet Zeltros, some time after the Battle of Endor. (MC106)

Supreme
This was the brand name of Kuat Systems Engineering's most powerful starship reactor cores, produced during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Supreme Allied Commander
This was the military position defined by the Alliance as the leader of each branch of the Alliance Military structure. Commanders were placed in leadership positions of the key aspects of the Alliance's armed forces:

• Fleet Command -which was made up of the capital naval forces of the Alliance
• Ordnance and Supply - which maintained the Alliance's weapons, equipment, and foodstuffs
• Starfigher Command - which coordinated the starfighter portion of the naval forces
• Support Services - which oversaw the task forces of transports and other vessels that supported the military
• Intelligence - which kept track of the Empire's political and military operations
• Special Forces Command - which oversaw the deployment and operations of the ground forces of the Alliance
• Sector Command - which was charged with coordinating the various planetary military forces that supported the Alliance

The full team of Supreme Allied Commanders was part of the Alliance High Command, answering to the Minister of War and the Commander in Chief. The beings who held positions as Supreme Allied Commanders were charged with ensuring that their operations worked smoothly with those of other commanders, and they also served as the liaisons between the Alliance High Command and the civil government. (RASB)

Supreme Chancellor
This was the title given to the being who led the government of the Galactic Republic, during most of Republic's history. This title was sometimes referred to as the President of the Republic, a title left over from the days of the Senatorial Council. Over the millennia of its existence, the Galactic Republic often put the selection of a new Supreme Chancellor to a vote in the Galactic Senate. For many centuries, it was not uncommon for a member of the Jedi Order to have been chosen to serve as the Supreme Chancellor, although this practice was eventually stopped because many of the galaxy's citizens feared that a being who could tap into the Force would not be trustworthy. Note that Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Episode I indicates that Finis Valorum was the last individual to hold the title, as he was unseated in a vote of no-confidence and succeeded by Grand Chancellor Palpatine. Also note that The Life and Legend of Obi-Wan Kenobi indicates that Palpatine was already a Chancellor, during the Trade Federation of Naboo, and was elected to the position of Supreme Chancellor after the Battle of Naboo. (ISB, IS1, EGF, LLOW)

Supreme Commander
The title given to Luke Skywalker by the reborn Emperor Palpatine, shortly after Luke agreed to turn himself to the ways of the Dark Side of the Force and become Palpatine's apprentice. (DE1)

Supreme Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic
This was the formal title given to the being who commanded the activities of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the era of the Clone Wars. By definition, the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic was the Supreme Commander, but could be relieved of their duties under a set of circumstances and situations that were outlined in document CO(CL) 56-95, Contingency Orders for the Grand Army of the Republic: Order Initiation, Order 1 Through 150. (RCTC)

Supreme Council
This was the name of the governing body that controlled the planet Skye. A Patriarch was elected to lead the Council, with each Patriarch ruling for no more than forty-two years. The Patriarch was alternately chosen from the Highland and Lowland Clans. The Outlander Clan had a single representative on the Council, but this representative could never serve as Patriarch. The forty-two-year term represented the forty-two unique clans in each group. (GMR1)

Supreme Court
This was the highest judicial body of the Old Republic, during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Like the rest of the Republic, the Supreme Court was bogged down by the corruption and greed that was consuming the galaxy. This was never more evident than during the four trials of Nute Gunray, for his role in the blockade of the planet Naboo and the subsequent fighting that took place on the planet. Each time, the prosecutors chosen to present the case against Gunray and the Trade Federation was too timid to fight against the economic and military power of the Federation, and Gunray was allowed to go free each time. (NECH)

Supreme Defender
The name given to a brand of Chepat starship shields used on luxury liners. (IJ)

Supreme Executive
This was the title given to the leader of the InterGalactic Banking Clan, during the era of the Clone Wars. (CWTV04)

Supreme Prophet
This was the title given to the high-level priests who served the Dark Force religion as a member of the Prophets of the Dark Side. Only the Supreme Prophets were allowed to wear full beards. (OWS)

Supreme-class Droid
This model of Lovolan droid was originally designed to serve the aristocracy as a servant. The Supreme-class droid was elegantly shaped, giving it a pleasing appearance to most humanoid races. It could communicate in a wide range of languages, and was programmed to understand the high-society nuances of certain Core World dialects. The main drawback of the Supreme-class droid, especially those manufactured after its initial run, was that it was produced to quickly, and the craftmanship was poor. The later models tended to fall apart at the most inopportune times, embarrasing their owners and causing a backlash of bad publicity for Lovolan. Those droid which ended up in the possession of crimelords and other unscrupulous owners were so gracious and willing to please their owners, they would often alllow illicit modifications to their programming. These droids were used as eavesdroppers and money launderers, and the Supreme-class was later investigated for possible security breeches by the Imperial Intelligence agency. (SWJ10)

Supressor
This was the brand name of Merr-Sonn's R-88 riot control weapon. (WOTC)

Suprin
This Arkanian doctor worked for Adascorp aboard the Arkanian Legacy during the years following the Great Sith War. Distinguished by his grizzled appearance and gruff demeanor, Doctor Suprin was a noted research scientist who helped develop many of Adascorp's drugs and medicines. When Jarael and The Camper arrived in the Perave System aboard the Last Resort, it was Doctor Suprin who was ordered to accompany Rohlan Dyre during the Mandalorian's wanderings aboard the Arkanian Legacy. Doctor Suprin was both angry and amazed by Rohlan's presence, since the Mandalorian spent most of his time reading about a wide variety of medical subjects. (KOR5)

Suprosa
This Corellian CE-2 freighter was owned and operated by Captain Sivar during the Galactic Civil War. Note that X-Wing: Alliance claims that this ship was a Mobquet Transport. He had it upgraded to have stronger shields and hull plating, as well as armed it with a pair of turret-mounted double laser cannons and a pair of concussion missile launchers. The Suprosa was supposedly carrying fertilizer shortly after the Battle of Hoth when word was leaked to the Bothans that it was really carrying highly sensitive Imperial information. This information was leaked by Prince Xizor, from Emperor Palpatine. The contact told the Bothans that the Alliance would want the information, because it involved a construction project that could greatly affect the outcome of the Galactic Civil War. The Bothans tried to get the information to Leia Organa on Tatooine, but she was on Rodia at the time. Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian assisted the Bothans in taking control of the Suprosa, at the cost of a dozen Bothan lives. The Empire had outfitted the Suprosa with hidden weapons systems, making it appear as a fertilizer hauler. It quickly opened fire on the Y-Wings flown by Luke and the Bothans, killing six ships before being disabled and boarded. (SE, SESB, XWA)

Suquand, Andar
This ancient Ithorian revolutionary was known for the subtle ways in which he affected social and political change. His actions became known as "casting sand in the gears of the machine", since they caused great damage and instituted great change over a period of time. (MJH)

Surana
One of the economic city-states, along with Kinkosa City and Dulai, that generates revenue for Kirtania. (SWJ1)

Sur'ar
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian verb meant "to concentrate" or "to focus." (OWS)

Suraya
This man was a minor smuggler who worked the Outer Rim at the height of the New Order. After displeasing Jabba the Hutt, Suraya fled to Tasariq, arriving shortly after Governor Keval placed tariffs on off-world goods. Suraya set himself up as the resident black market supplier, and made a small fortune importing a variety of goods. He purchased the security droid K4X4 to watch his back after Captain Kullan Veleriden staged an attack on his life. (SWJ15)

Surcaris
This planet was the site of a Kuat Drive Yards engineering facility, more than fifty years before the onset of the Clone Wars. (RCTC, RC66)

Surdu
This Dug statesman was a member of the Black Shred Water clan of Malastare. Surdu was discovered to have been one of Sebulba's ancestors. (NEGC)

Surefoot Brackaset
This subspecies of brackaset was native to Dathomir, and was named for its ability to move about on rough or uneven terrain without missing a step. (SWG2P)

Sureggi
This multi-legged amphibian, native to the planet Kashyyyk, was domesticated and used as a mount by the Wookiees. The body of a sureggi resembled that of a huge centipede, with many pairs of legs running along its length. Each body section was protected by flexible armor plates, and its skin was dry and durable. Its head was spade-shaped, with a wide mouth and two small eyes set atop a bony ridge. The nose of the sureggi was covered with a group of tentacle-like sensory organs, which helped it locate the grubs and small creatures that it consumed for food. Each of the sureggi's twenty-eight legs ended in a long "hand", which gave it exeptional climbing and swimming ability. (SWDB, LAT2, GMR4)

SureGrip
This small corporation produced a number of climbing accessories manufactured with FrictionGrip, including climbsuits, gloves, boots, and syntherope. (ROE)

Surepp
This herd animal was native to the planet Ansion. Distinguished by their coiled antlers, surepps were favored among Alwari clans because they congregated in tight herds, making them easier to defend against packs of shanh. However, they were more costly to maintain, so only the richest of Alwari clans could afford to keep them. The males of the species had blue fur and dark ruffs of fur around their necks, while the females had green fur and were slightly larger. What made the surepp unusual was the fact that it had three eyes, aligned vertically down their sloping nose. The upper eye was used to see into the sky, the middle eye to keep track of the surepp herd, and the lower eye was used to look for food and obstacles on the ground. While maintained for their meat, the teeth and antlers of the surepp were used to form tools and knives. Because of their densely-packed herds, surepps slept standing up, a position which allowed them to flee at the first indication of a predator. The Ansionians regarded an albino surepp as a good omen, and any clan with a white surepp in its herd was considered lucky. (APS)

Sureseal
This material, developed by GTU, was used to form patches for the AV-1 series of power armor. (GFT)

Sureshot
This battered YT-1300 light freighter, which could barely fly, was captained by Izal Waz. It was part of the small fleet of vessels maintained by the Wild Knights, before the left Barab I and joined the Jedi Knights, shortly before the Second Battle of Coruscant. It was destroyed near the Cinnabar Moon, while following the Millennium Falcon back to Coruscant, when it hit an orbital mine and exploded. (REC, WOTC)

Sure-Sight
Developed by Neuro-Saav, this weapons sighting and targeting system was designed for use in protective helmets. Using a proprietary interface, the Sure-Sight could link with a weapon's own sighting system and provide the user with a way to specify a target by simply looking at it. The Ubese used this targetting system in their bounty hunter's helmets, complementing the NiteSite infrared motion sensor. (EGW)

SureSnoop
This sophisticated tracking device was manufactured by the Rhinsome Tracking Corporation. The main unit was as small as a button, and attached itself to the target's clothing with a pair of tiny barbs. It was capable of providing the exact range, direction, and speed of the beacon, but was also very expensive. (CFG, EGW)

Surface Charge Capacitance
A weapons-powering system which uses the natural properties of starship hulls to collect and store static energy. As a ship passes through space, it rubs against the various particles which exist in space. This action creates a charge against the ship's hull. In small ships, the hull was able to collect the charge in much the same way a capacitor would. This energy can be shunted into a weapons system, eliminating the need for a separate power generator. This method of powering weapons was not useful on large, capital ships, for the amount of charge was incredible, and cannot be safely shunted into weapons. (BTS)

Surface Operations Training Doctrine
This was the set of guidelines and regulations that defined the training and deployment of the forces of the Imperial Army. Any commander or leader who did not follow these regulations was responsible for the consequences, and many an officer was executed for failing to abide by them. However, it was not uncommon for the methods of an executed officer to be later reviewed and adopted as new doctrine. The entire set of doctrines was collected in the Surface Operations Training Documents. (ISB)

Surface Operations Training Documents
This set of documents contained details on the Surface Operations Training Doctrine, which governed the training and implementation of Imperial Army forces. (ISB)

SurfaceHatch TenCrater
This was one of the many surface access points that were found on the Nickel One asteroid. These surface hatches allowed the Verpine to leave the underground factory warren and go out onto the surface of the asteroid. (LF9)

Sur'gaan
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word meant "picture." (OWS)

Surge
This was the alias used by the New Republic for the patrol ship Instigator, when the ship was used to infiltrate the Kaarenth Dissension. (SWJ8)

Surge Arrestor
This starship component was used to provide protection to delicate systems in the event of a power surge. The surge arrestor used special circuits to dampen the effects of a power surge, providing a steady current to downstream systems. (FH1)

Surge-coral
This variation on yorik coral was used by Yuuzhan Vong priests and military leaders during the ritual of escalation. A small, horn-shape piece of surge-coral was placed inside the shoulder of a worthy Yuuzhan Vong by an implanter, where it was fused to the bone and gave the Yuuzhan Vong a pointed knob at the shoulder which indicated their rank. As a warrior was honored for more and more bravery, he was implanted with more surge-coral. The coral continued to live after implantation, providing a constant and painful reminder of the warrior's service to the Yuuzhan Vong. The Yuuzhan Vong later developed surge-coral which could receive commands form a yammosk, giving the warriors with implants the advantage of working as a well-coordinated unit. (JE, BP, DW)

Surgeon's Gambit
A series of moves used in the game of Firepath. (CSWDW)

Surgica Galactica Journal
This was one of the foremost publications on the current state of medicine throughout the galaxy, published during the last decades of the Old Republic. Several threads of articles dealing with the problems and necessities of operating on clone troopers were popular during the height of the Clone Wars. (MBS)

Surgical Umbrella Field
This specialized form of shielding was developed on the planet Haruun Kal, during the Old Republic, to help fight off a variety of native fungi which fed on metals and silicates. The umbrella could be erected over a single docking bay or an entire spaceport, to eliminate additional bacteria and mold. (SHPT)

Surgoth, Van Jahan
This being was one of the most experienced styanax hunters found on the planet Tralus, during the height of the New Order. (WOTC)

Surgoth, Van Jahan
This man, a native of the polar regions near the Sea of Jarad, on the planet Tralus, was a noted "stabman" - the name used to describe the harpooners who hunted styanax. He tended to blend in with the rest of his tribe, and almost never spoke aloud. He preferred to let his actions speak, a trait which carried over into his training of other "stabmen." (CCW)

Sur'haai
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word meant "eye." (OWS)

SuriTech Foodstuffs
This small corporation produced a number of chemical detection systems for personal use as well as for use on starships. These devices allowed owners to analyze the chemical contents of unknown foods, or to monitor the levels of carbon dioxide and other dangerous chemicals in the air supply, providing early warnings of life support system failure. (PSG, GFT)

Surl
This man worked as a mid-level customs agent on the planet Brentaal, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Unknown to most other beings, however, was that Surl was actually an undercover agent for the Imperial Security Bureau, and a corrupt one at that. He worked closely with Dania to uncover rebel cells on the planet, as well as to skim as many credits out of the Imeprial bank accounts as he could. (CCW)

Surlan
This was a common name among the Filordi race. (UANT)

Surlev
This Imperial Navy Commander served as Barse Neoman's second-in-command aboard the Strike-class cruiser Ion Storm during the last years of the New Order. Surlev was exceedingly loyal to Governor Newen Streeg, a fact that forced Captain Neoman to keep an eye on Surlev. They were ordered to await the arrival of Major Stipling from Yen-2, but when he didn't return Surlev ordered the Ion Storm to the planetoid. There, Surlev discovered that Limna Yith had destroyed the outpost on orders from Sprax, and Surlev vowed to track the Kerestian down and bring her to Imperial justice. He tried to knock out Abek's Station to recover her, but a team of Mal Biron's spacers got to her first. Surlev continued his pursuit, hoping to displace Neoman as commander of the Ion Storm. (SSR)

Surma
This was the largest port city located on the planet Najiba. (BSS)

Surmo-Clarithian
This was an unusual form of language that many beings often confused with simply background static. This language, considered a type of electrospeech, used direct energy modulation to create words and concepts. (LSSM)

Surn, Alic
This easy-going gambler was one-half of the most famous brother and sister bounty-hunting team in the galaxy. They worked through the House Neuvalis syndicate. Alic was level-headed in battle, and worked hard to ensure the safety of his sister, Vika. (GG10)

Surn, Vika
This tall, muscular woman was one-half of the most famous brother and sister bounty-hunting team in the galaxy. They worked through the House Neuvalis syndicate. Where her brother Alic was level-headed in battle, Vika was emotionally disturbed and revelled in making the kill. She was hospitalized at a young age, shortly after the deaths of their parents in a speeder wreck. From that point onward, she was mentally unbalanced. She was something of a fitness fanatic, and trained constantly in order to maintain her almost super-human strength. (GG10)

Surnack
This small manufacturer produced a number of personal-use computer peripherals. (GFT)

Suroc
This bounty hunter tried to acquire a nashtah for an upcoming hunt on Midani by inquiring with the owner of the Rancor's Den on Andasala.Note that he was also referred to as Turoc in Galaxy Guide 11: Criminal Organizations. (GG11)

Surool, Deel
This Twi'lek male was the son of wealthy merchants who had traveled to the planet Naboo shortly before the Trade Federation blockaded the planet. Deel himself was something of a scoundrel, albeit a well-educated one, and once performed at the Royal Hutt Hotel. He later attended the Royal House of Learning in Theed, as a way to further his own education while away from Ryloth. When the Federation invaded the planet, Deel joined many of his classmates in joining the Naboo Underground and fighting against the Federation's forces to free Naboo. After the advent of the New Order, Deel became something of a celebrity, appearing in a series of holovids. However, a major spice scandal ruined his career, and Deel retreated to the criminal underworld, becoming something of a kingpin in the spice trade during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (IOT, SWRPG, GCG)

Surracca
This large, dark brown Wookiee was the one of the leaders of the small group that established a colony on Cularin, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Surracca and his mate, Delinna, helped to form the small colony, creating a village known as Kiirloor near the slopes of Cloud Mountain. They chose to relocate to Cularin after hearing Jedi Master Kirlocca speak of its beauty. Several years after the Battle of Naboo, the Wookiee clan was shaken when the evil Tarasin Xinishia kidnapped Chywarra, one of the younger female Wookiees, in an attempt to drive the Wookiees away from her secret lair. Surracca and Delinna appealed to Mother Dariana of the Hiironi, hoping to enlist her aid in fighting back against Xinishia. A group of freelance agents who were friends of the Hiironi agreed to accompany Surraca and Delinna back to Kiirloor and help the Wookiees. (FTT)

Surron StarTech
This starship manufacturer was the primary source of Surronian craft. The Surronian race formed the company when their planetary economy began to suffer and lag behind the growth that the rest of the galaxy was experiencing. Surron StarTech produced a number of Surronian designs for mass-production and sale to the galaxy at large, but the executives lacked any real knowledge of how to market and sell their ships to other races. This ultimately led to the agreement to provide design and technical expertise to Rendili StarDrive, a relationship that produced the Starlight Freighter and other well-known starshpi designs. (PP, SS, OWS)

Surronian
This race of hive-mind, insectoid lifeforms had a guild-based society in which each guild maintained its own hive mentality. They produced some interesting starship designs, each of which was a unique artifact displaying their guild's technology. Their ships were originally used only by Surronians, although some have been given as gifts to individuals who have donated their efforts to help the Surronians. Eventually, hit with an economic depression that threatened to unravel their society, the Surronians entered a contract with Rendili StarDrive, and produced the Starlight freighter. With the funds from the sales of the Starlight, the Surronians were able to get back on the road to economic recovery. They also began releasing a "limited edition" of their starship designs to the general public, further increasing their net wealth. (EGV, SS, OWS)

Surtsey
A remote city-area on Coruscant. Mon Mothma owned an estate there, after her retirement from running the New Republic. (BTS, TT)

Sur'ulur
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian verb meant "to monitor" or "to keep an eye on." (OWS)

Surussk
This was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "decapitates his prey". (GCG)

Survapierre
This drug was outlawed for recreational use, during the decads prior to the Battle of Naboo. It still had a variety of medicinal uses, so survapierre was never completely banned. A small but lucrative trade in smuggled survapierre sprang up to supply recreational users and abusers with the drug. (TAE)

Surveillance and Security Corps
This was one of the first offshoots of the Imperial Security Bureau, created about a year after the end of the Clone Wars as a planetary security force. The ISB established a division of the Surveillance and Security Corps on each of those worlds that showed the most resistance to Imperial control, in the wake of the establishment of the New Order. (LJ1)

Survey Datapad
Much smaller than a directional transponder, this device allows a scout or military field personnel to know their location on a planet by triangulating positions of known orbital and topological features. (ROE)

Survey-class Crawler
Developed and produced by TaggeCo, this 40-meter-long transport craft was a miniature version of the Sandcrawlers scavenged by the Jawas of Tatooine. The Survey-class crawler required a pilot and co-pilot to operate, and could accommodate up to 20 metric tons of cargo and 26 passengers. (GMR6)

Surveyor Hall
This was one of the larger educational buildings that made up the Galactic Outdoor Survival School, found on the planet Thrantin. Many classrooms and several large conference rooms were found within its walls. (AIR, OWS)

Survival Cape
see Thermal Cape (SME)

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

Survival Day
This was the name given to the specially-staged fights held at the Dool Arena, located in The Broken Tusk on Reuss VIII. The Gamorrean brothers, Gorge and Greel, opened The Broken Tusk after-hours to top Imperial officers and their staffs. Prisoners who refused to speak under interrogation were given two options: speak, or defeat Tull Raine in one-on-one combat. Most prisoners chose to speak, but more than a few were killed in combat. (WSV)

Survival Knife
This was a generic term used to describe a small, handheld blade that could be used as a tool and as a weapon, depending on the situation. Survival knives were often found in toolkits and other travel packs used by independent spacers and explorers. The blade of a survival knife was sharp and deeply serrated, allowing it to be used to cut through rope or flesh with relative ease. (SWG2P)

Survival Zones
This was the name given to the various collections of terraformed terrain that were found on the planet OM813, also known as Thrantin. These zones were created by Barosa Warren, to serve as landscapes that had to be traversed by students of the Galactic Outdoor Survival School, in order to pass certain tests and trials. Many of these zones took several local days to traverse, requiring students to adapt and survive in all manner of harsh and unusual environments. Often, the Survival Zones were tailored to force an individual of a specific race or species to confront the very environments in which they were unable to survive, in order to stengthen them and teach them other ways to survive. (AIR, OWS)

SurvivalGear
This manufacturing corporation produced a number of wilderness survival tools, such as water purification systems and lightweight cooking systems. (ROE)

Survivor
This was the name of a Corellian Engineering Corporation emergency lifeboat. The Survivor measured 10 meters in length. (CSA)

Survivors
This was the name used by the descendants of those followers of Xim the Despot who landed the Queen of Ranroon on Dellalt, shortly after the Third Battle of Vontor. The Survivors lived in isolation on Dellalt for many millennia, guarding the secret of the Queen of Ranroon and awaiting the time when another despot rose to power and unlocked the keys to Xim's power. They avoided contact with the other humans living on Dellalt, although a number of them took jobs in various levels of Dellaltian commerce. These positions allowed them to monitor the comings and goings of parties interested in the long-lost treasures of Xim, thus alerting them to any possible intrusion. Their total population remained around 100 people, which helped keep the group hidden from mainstream life. The Survivors segregated their population into two groups: the workers, who were hypno-imprinted to do what they were commanded to do; and the leaders, who understood the legacy handed down to them from Xim. As a group, the Survivors wore the ancient clothing and armor used by Xim's forces. Since landing on Dellalt, they also set up a quasi-religion around the search for the High Command and the next galactic despot. The center of this religion was the beacon which they projected into space from Dellalt. The beacon contained the clues to Xim's power, which the Survivors believed would be interpretted by the next despot. The Survivors realized that they did not have the resources to overthrow the Old Republic, and so they bided their time over many generations. When the New Order was established, backwater systems like the Tion Hegemony were left more or less to themselves, so the Survivors began strengthening their beacon. When Han Solo, Chewbacca, Skynx, Alexsandr Badure, and Hasti Troujow arrived on Dellalt, several years before the Battle of Yavin, the Survivors had started making sacrifices, believing that such sacrifices would strengthen the beacon and help the next despot find them. After the Guardian Corp was destroyed, the Survivors were easily rounded up by Solo's group, who questioned them about the location of the Queen of Ranroon. (HSL)

Survivors
This was the name given to those beings who were part of the original Outbound Flight Project, and who managed to survive its destruction. In the wake of the attacks, there were just fifty-seven Survivors, made up of those families who had been relegated to the central storage core of Outbound Flight by Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth. C'baoth had ordered the families to the central core after several members of the technical staff demanded equal rights and better treatment. Their appeals came just as the Chiss intercepted Outnbound Flight, and C'baoth detained them in the core until after the sitaution could be resolved. Thus, when then Force Commander Thrawn set off six radiation bombs, one in each of the six Dreadnaughts that made up Outbound Flight those beings in the central core were spared almost certain death. However, their survival was not guaranteed, as Syndic Thrass of the Chiss and Jedi Knight Lorana Jinzler were forced to escape the battlezone. Thrass needed to ensure Outbound Flight wasn't impounded by Aristocra Chaf'orm'bintrano, and enlisted the aid of Jinzler in fleeing the scene. The drive systems failed before they could reach Pesfavri, and Thrass and Jinzler were forced to crash-land on a remote planetoid in the Redoubt, giving their lives to ensure the massive ship landed in such a way as to spare the other survivors. By the time Outbound Flight was discovered by a Chiss task force, some fifty years after its disappearance, only ten Survivors remained. Three of them - Chas Uliar, Brace Tarkosa, and Jobe Keely - served on the Managing Council. The other seven were too feeble to move about. After the Vagaari threat was eliminated, the Survivors grudgingly agreed to accompany the Outbound Flight Colony to Nirauan, staying as far away from the New Republic as they could. (SQ, OF)

Survivor's Fund
This was the name used by fighter pilots to denote any sabacc or gambling pot which was left whenever their squadron was called to active duty. Any game interrupted by a combat order had its pot added to the Survivor's Fund, which was distributed to the surviving members of the families of pilots who were killed in the line of duty. (IR)

Susejo
One of the first entities consumed by the Sarlacc located in the Great Pit of Carkoon, Susejo's consciousness was contained in the Sarlacc. Susejo infiltrated himself into all of the Sarlacc's victims' minds, trying to obtain some form of amusement. Susejo was a native of the planet Choi. He had been in the Sarlacc for well over four thousand years, and was more than a little insane when Boba Fett was swallowed by it. Susejo amused himself - and the Sarlacc - by tormenting the Sarlacc's victims with stories and jokes. (TJP)

Susevfi
This name was used to describe the moon Suarbi 7/5 by the colonists who tried to tame the world centuries ago. It was a shortening of its official name. (IJ)

Sushir
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian verb meant "to listen." (OWS)

Suskafoo
This Verpine was one of Ackbar's assistants, and was a leader of the Shantipole project. He was a prime example of the Verpine's child-like sense of wonder, and his antenna twitch whenever he gets excited. Known to his friends as Foo, he quickly mastered the Basic language. He was also an open supporter of the Alliance, and acted as a go-between for his hive and Ackbar. (SFS)

Suspensa
This was a form ear jewelry that originated on Naboo. Unlike regular earrings, suspensas dangled from the earlobe on silver or gold pendants. At the end of the pendant was a small, jeweled ball that contained a small repulsor that kept the ball in the air and away from the neck. Because of the small repulsor, suspensas could be quite ornate, and appear to be overly heavy. (VD3, CVD)

Suspension Cushion
This was a specialized form of furniture cushion that employed a tiny repulsorlift engine to make the cushion hover above the floor. The height at which the suspension cushion floated could be adjusted by controls on the cushion's control panel. (HSR)

Suspicious Movement Database
Known as the SAM Database, this Imperial information repository was created during the early months of the New Order, after Emperor Palpatine established the Galactic Empire. The database was started on Coruscant, where stormtroopers began filing information on any suspicious activity they witnessed on the streets. Information from Imperial spies was later added to the database, in an effort to keep track of any beings who might bring harm to the Empire. As the Emperor consolidated his power, the Suspicious Movement Database was expanded by Imperial Governors who used access programs to compile and insert data from their own planets into the database, creating a huge repository of information on suspicious activities. The information contained in this database could be cross-refernced and cross-checked to validity, and then used to point out where surveillance or arrests might be needed to avoid trouble. (LJ7)

Suspicious Silence Provision
This amendment to the Galactic Loyalty Act established that any individual who refused to answer the questions of legitimate representatives of the Coruscant Security Force or the Galactic Alliance Guard could be detained as a possible terrorist. The provision gave law enforcement officers the right to arrest any being who chose not to answer a question, and allowed for the acquisition of an interrogation warrant to investigate an individual's history.

These sorts of additions to the Galactic Loyalty Act were viewed by political observers as further evidence that the Galactic Alliance was becoming more and more like the former Galactic Empire. (LF3)

Suss
This was a slang term used by Imperial fighter pilots to indicate the action of figuring something out. (DSTR)

Sussimi
This large, transparent-bodied crustacean was native to the planet Calamari. The average specimen measured a half-meter in length, and caught its prey with a pair of nasty, hooked claws. The transparent shell allowed the sussimi to sneak up on its prey, and the only time a sussimi could be seen was just after it had eaten, when its stomach was visible beneath the shell. The shell was formed from natural elements that were similar in many respects to transparisteel, and was valued by artisans and collectors. When startled or attacked, a sussimi expelled a cloud of clear, burning acid as it fled. (GORW)

Susuax
This small corporation produced a variety of tools and implements for scouts and explorers, during the early years of the New Republic. (GUN)

This surname was common among the Sullustan race, and meant "wainwright" in the Sullustan language. (GCG)

Suub, Siin
This Sullustan served as the Chairman of the SoroSuub Corporation, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. In the aftermath of the conflict, Siin Suub led the effort to have SoroSuub assume governmental control of Sullust and align the planet and the corporatoin with the Empire. (SWSB, MF)

Suub, Sin
This Sullustan was one of the chairbeings of SoroSuub Corporation, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. (AIR)

Suubatar
This immense creature was native to the planet Ansion. It had six long legs, and each foot ended with six long, clawed toes. This combination of thirty-six toes allowed the suubatar to race across the grasslands of Ansion at incredible speeds, often appearing to run just above the ground using only their toes to propel themselves along. They were also excellent swimmers, using all their toes to literall "grab" the water. The Alwari nomads were the first to domesticate the suubatar for use as a mount, and it was a symbol of pride and standing to have a splendid specimen as a mount. When a suubatar stood up, it was three times as tall as a human, and its neck and upper back rose at a steep angle. This required that the Ansionians use a high-backed saddle, known as a viann, that kept them in an upright position. Most suubatars had light, golden-brown fur striped with green, allowing them to blend into the grassy plains of the planet. They were omnivorous, able to feed on just about anything that happened to be in their path. The head of a suubatar was smooth and wide, with a single nostril and flat ears to make it aerodynamic. Its jaws were unable unhinge, giving the suubatar the ability to consume foods which were larger than its own mouth. The tail of a suubatar was long and thin. (APS, WOTC)

Suul
The chosen name of the Solo clan when they went into hiding during the Clone Wars. First used by Dalla Solo, and removed by Han Solo. (CPL)

Suuliem

Suulru
This former soldier retired from active duty and became a farmer, eking out a living on the Khoonda Plains of Dantooine during the years following the Jedi Civil War. He was one of the few farmers in the area that was actively collecting moisture, although his vaporators were almost continually in need of repair. Thus, he struggled to provide food and other necessities for his wife, eight children, and his handicapped grandmother. (KOTOR2)

Suum
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word meant "beyond." (OWS)

Suum, Imik
This Sullustan droid engineer worked at SoroSuub's research facility in the city of Tindark, on the planet Cularin, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Imik Suum was the brains behind the development of the MMR-9 recovery droid, and hoped to use MMR-9 units to explore the ruined city of Nub Saar. Unknown to Imik Suum was the fact that Eaba N'Wan was secretly stealing the designs of the MMR-9 and selling them to the Fireclaw Horde.

One day, after taking an unauthorized break, Suum found himself face-to-face with a group of Togorians who were raiding his offices to steal the security codes that would allow them to acquire several of the MMR-9 prototypes. Suum fled in a small speeder, and was assisted in his escape by a group of freelance agents who were in Gadrin at the time. He told the agents everything he knew about the situation, and was relieved when they were able to return several stolen prototypes.

After these events, Imik Suum was chosen to assist Team SoroSuub in creating the XB-01, a remote-controlled racing swoop, to be entered into the inaugural Cularin Classic swoop race. Imik Suum was chosen to pilot the swoop during the actual race. (JST2, JST3)

Suum ca'nara
This Mandalorian phrase referred to a state of blissful rest and peace. (OWS)

Suuri
This species of crustacean was native to the planet Tynna, and was considered a delicacy by the Tynnans. (EGP)

Suurja
This Outer Rim world was the site of drawn-out battle between the forces of the Old Republic and the Mandalorians, during the height of the Mandalorian Wars. The primary world in the Suurja System, Suurja was an agrarian world that was ravaged by the stalemate. Refugees from Suurja and other front-line worlds fled to planets like Vanquo, hoping to find solace and escape from the predations of the Mandalorians. However, the Mandalorians were searching everywhere for Jedi Knights, and they followed refugees in the hope of finding them. Many Jedi were captured on Surrja even before they could assist the refugees, as the Mandalorians were waiting for them. Many of the Jedi who survived the attack were transported to Demagol's research facility at Flashpoint Station. (KOR1, KOR2)

Suurjan
This alien race, native to the planet Suurja, was noted for its lack of ears. (KORV)

Suuv Ban D'Krid Cruiser
This Yuuzhan Vong warship measured 720 meters in length, and was the closest analog to a standard cruiser in the New Republic Navy. It carried a complement of thirty-six coralskippers in several yorik coral arms, and its hull was studded with forty plasma projector weapons. A crew of 480 warriors was required to keep the ship operative, and it could accommodate up to 1,930 troops and 2,000 metric tons of cargo. Although they were equipped with a collection of dovin basals, the Suuv Ban D'Krid cruiser could not generate an interdiction field. These craft were usually accompanied in battle by one or more Uumufalh gunships. (NJOSB)

Suvac
A somewhat complex game of strategy and skill. (GG11)

Suyin
This man and his companion, Feraa, tried to deliver a load of spice to Vogga the Hutt on Nar Shaddaa, during the years following the Great Sith War. They had been given a detailed map of the undercity of the moon, and planned to bypass the normal security checkpoints by traveling through various vents and tunnels to reach Vogga's lair. Unfortunately, the buildings of Nar Shaddaa created enough ambient electrical interference that their hand-held maps failed to operate properly. When he got a free moment, Feraa lagged back and then set off down a side pathway to lay mines on their proposed routes, hoping to deliver his spice to Vogga and earn the Hutt's trust for himself. Suyin was badly injured when he stumbled upon the mines, then became lost and eventually died within the vents. Feraa, however, never reaped the rewards he so desparately sought, as he also became hopeless lost, and died in the vents as well. Their corpses were discovered by The Exile, shortly after the Jedi Civil War, when he was on Nar Shaddaa in search of Jedi Master Zez-Kai Ell. (KOTOR2)

Suzal
The leader of the Five, Suzal delighted in taunting his victims as he tortured them. He captured Han Solo, Leia Organa, and Chewbacca when they were pursued by Vor Childermoss, and brought them all to the Hellhoop. Thinking Chewie to be a dumb animal, he placed the Wookiee in the Menagerie. There, Chewbacca freed the other captives, including the Force Demon Wuzzek. Wuzzek went crazy, exacting revenge for his imprisonment by killing the members of the Five. Suzal was Wuzzek's second victim. (CSWDW)

Suzdice
This was a noted Clawdite. (GMR10)

Suzu
This young woman was one of many natives of the planet Herdessa who didn't want the New Republic to take control of the galaxy, in the wake of the Battle of Endor. Suzu and her friend, Finn, lobbed mudballs at Leia Organa and Mon Mothma, when the two leaders of the Alliance arrived on Herdessa to discuss the planet position on a new galactic government. Leia later discovered that Suzu was one of the leaders of the peasant underground which tried to overthrow Brylin and the affluent leaders of the guilds. (MC88)

SV-45
This Corellian Translines StarSpeeder 3000 shuttle made a regular run to Vohai during the early years of the New Republic. (SWJ15)

SV-50 Swift-Strike
This was the full name of the Venaari Strike speeder, manufactured by Venaari Enterprises during the height of the New Order. It measured nine meters in length, and required a single pilot and a gunner to operate. The pilot controlled the craft as well as the front-mounted double laser cannon, while the gunner handled a turret-mounted heavy blaster cannon. The SV-50 could carry up to ten troopers and a metric ton of cargo. (SWJ5)

Svag, Anavus
This grim-faced near-human Jedi Master was one of many who commanded the warships which defended the planet Coruscant during the Great Hyperspace War. His personality, as well as his expertise in the weapons, ships, and military tactics of his era, were collected and stored in a Jedi Holocron. (PJSB)

Svan
This man, a native of the planet Jomark, was a villager who got involved in a dispute with Tarm, some five years after the Battle of Endor. The dispute was mediated by Joruus C'baoth, with the help of Luke Skywalker, who had just arrived on the planet. Svan didn't agree with C'baoth's decision that he should pay Tarm his wages, and drew a slugthrower on the Dark Jedi. C'baoth countered by injuring Svan with Force lightning. (DFR)

Svaper
This creature was originally found on Rodia, but had since been discovered on a number of worlds throughout the galaxy. The average svaper measured up to three meters in length, although older specimens could attain lengths of six meters. They lived in the water and were known as vicious predators. Their thick, coarse scales were highly-colored, and protected the length of the svaper's body. Just behind the head, the scales were elongated into a collection of spines which protected the vulnerable gills. The mouth of the svaper was filled with long, needle-like teeth which was used to grab hold of its prey. Once it caught its prey, the svaper wrapped its muscular body around the prey and dragged it underwater to drown. It then swallowed the prey whole. Rodians often captured large svapers and used them in wrestling contests. (COG)

SVC-700
This voice scrambler was produced by Ulkop Securities during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Appearing to be a simple piece of jewelry, the SVC-700 blocks the reception abilities of nearby surveillance devices by emitting a low-frequency distortion field. This device does not prevent a nearby individual from hearing conversation, however, but provided a measure of security in an unknown environment. (GFT)

Svelte-class Shuttle
This Imperial shuttle was built by Silvuit Corporation after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, in an effort to replace the aging Lambda-class shuttles. A sleek, fast, and highly maneuverable ship, the Svelte-class shuttle was beetle-shaped and coated with gloss black plating. Measuring 17 meters in length, it required a pilot and co-pilot, 4 gunners, and could accommodate 15 passengers and 50 metric tons of cargo. The wings of the Svelte-class can be raised - similar to the Lambda-class - when under attack. The shuttle was armed with a pair of double blaster cannons and a pair of laser cannons. They were also equipped with hyperdrives. Because of their black finish and unusual looks, these craft were sometimes referred to as the Vader-class shuttle, in reference to Darth Vader's black armor. (JASB, SOG)

Svitalos
This city, located on the planet Fwillsving, was destroyed by riots after the planet's bolo-ball team upset Kubindi 1-0, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. More than 4 million beings jammed into the city streets, looting and pillaging everything in sight. (HNN4)

S'viv
This was a common female name given to Sullustan females. It meant "energetic" or "lively" in the Sullustan language. (GCG)

Svivren
This planet, the homeworld of the Svivreni race, was a well-defended, major commercial world located near Berchest. According to Rebellion, Svivren was located in Sesswenna Sector. It had several major climate zones, including harshly cold mountains and uncomfortably warm plains. (TLC, REB, MJEH, LCSB)

Svivren Xenomineralogy Institute
This educational facility was located on the planet Svivren, and was considered one of the galaxy's most prestigious schools of mineralogy and geological studies during the last decades of the Old Republic. (GORW)

Svivreni
This species of stocky, furred humanoids was native to the planet Svivren. The Svivreni were known for their stubbornness, and their adherence to no-weapons philosophies. Individual Svivreni had large, equine faces, and their heads were covered with flowing black hair. Svivreni custom demanded that adults never trim their hair, as the length of an individual's hair was often regarded as an indication of fertility and intelligence. A heavy, metal ring held the hair in a loose rope. The fingers of the Svivreni were unusual in that they had three joints, providing dexterity and gripping power.

As a people, the Svivreni were regarded as stubborn, and nearly impossible to influence once they made a decision. Although the Svivreni chose to remain neutral during the Galactic Civil War, many individuals served the Alliance rather than submit to Imperial control. Individual Svivreni were known to live for a 100 year or more.

In general, the Svivreni never wished one another good-bye. Instead, they offered each other this simple advice: "The journey begins, so go."

Note that The Last Command describes men dressed in the robes of Svivreni traders. (TLC, LCSB, HR, JQ5, GORW, LJ7)

Svivreni
This was the native language of the Svivreni people. The vocal range required to speak the language could not be emulated by many humanoid races, including humans. (GMR9, GORW)

Swagg employed droids for the manual labor, then hoped to reap the benefits of selling the statues to collectors. However, his efforts were thwarted by Rep Been, and Swagg was forced to blast away from his own ship in an escape pod to avoid being captured. However, Swagg burned for revenge, and realized that some of his droids must have survived. He returned to Otoh Gunga and reactivated 3-S and 5-S, and tried to destroy the Lake Umberbool arena. Unfortunately for Swagg, he was intercepted by Captain Tarpals before he could set his explosives.

Durge and Asajj Ventress had been sent to the system to use the swamp gas on the planet Naboo, but the heroic efforts of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Zule prevented them from unleashing the chemical weapon. Shortly after recovering from his wounds, Obi-Wan set out with four other Jedi Masters to obtain the antidote to the swamp gas, in case the Separatists ever tried to use it again.

Swamp Rat
This rodent inhabited the swampy regions of the planet M'haeli. Swamp rat warrens were led by a dominant female, and often left their homes in the swamps to forage in the fields that were maintained by farmers.

Swamp Slug
A huge gastropod found in the swamps of Dagobah, the swamp slug was a large omnivore with pale skin and large yellow eyes. On top of its head were a pair of thick antennae.

The slug lived almost its entire life the swamp, moving through the waters of the swamp and sucking small creatures and plants into its long mouth and throat. It then used its internal muscularture to crush the food against thousands of tiny grinding teeth that lined its throat. The swamp slug had very few internal organs, aside from its rudimentary brain and its stomach.

Naturally hermaphroditic, swamp slugs could not reproduce unless one partner was its male phase. A collection of short, grasping pseudopods provided a way for the swamp slug to grasp its partner during mating. The female then laid hundreds of eggs in the muddy silt.

However, the swamp wampa was not a natural evolution of its cold-weather cousin, having been brought to Dromund Kaas centuries before the Galactic Civil War by the ancient Sith who followed Darth Millenial to the remote world.

Identical to their cousins, except for their dark brown fur, swamp wampas lived in the bogs, forming crude huts from the mosses that were found in the planetary bogs. (WOTC, NEGA)

Swamp Womp Rat
Known as swamp wompers, these creatures were related to the womp rats of Tatooine. They had evolved on the damp, marshy world of Cularin, and were covered with dark fur. Their whiskers were sensitive to vibration, and helped the swamp womp rat hunt its prey while underwater. These creatures often attacked in packs, swarming over their prey to ensure its capture. (WOTC)

Swamp Worm
This large carnivore was native to the rainforests of the planet Veron. They were at home in the muddy swamps of the coastal regions, lying in the mud and waiting for their prey to walk by too close.

Swamplands, The
This was the name given to the shallow, watery marshes that made up the lowlands below the city of Maslovar, on the planet Desevro. Many of Maslovar's thirty-seven ancient families maintained estates in the Swamplands, preferring to have water access to other parts of the planet. During the height of the New Order, a Ruurian xenoarchaeologist discovered that Xim the Despot may have built a secret vault somewhere in the Swamplands, on the estate of his chamberlain. The vault's location was never exactly pinpointed, primarily because most of the Swamplands were divided up among the Thirty-Seven Families, and none of them wanted to allow excavations on their property. (GORW)

This Kuati woman was a noted Jedi Knight who trained under Micah Giett, until his untimely death during the Yinchorri Uprising. She then trained with Plo Koon, and was one of many who were involved in the galactic conflict which surrounded the Clone Wars. Bultar was respected among the Jedi of the day for her combat record. Despite being a veteran of many battles, Bultar had never taken an single life, even in self-defense. In combat, Bultar Swan used a unique combination of teras kasi and Verdanaian "sliding hands" techniques. Swan, along with Empatajayos Brand and Chellemi Chuovvick, was dispatched to the Sepan Sector to mediate the early conflicts of the Sepan Civil War, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. She survived many battles, and was one of the small number of Jedi who survived the Clone Wars and the initial killings of the Jedi Purge. She was amang the handful of Jedi who answered Master Shadday's call to meet on Kessel, and she brought along Master Tsui Choi. However, unknown to th eother Jedi, Shadday had leaked information that Obi-Wan Kenobi would be on Kessel as well, hoping to draw the attention of Darth Vader. Shadday believed that the combined might of the Jedi would be able to overpower the new Sith Lord. However, Vader proved to be more than a match for the Jedi, and his powerful connection to the Force was aided by the presence of the clone troopers of the 501st Legion. In the chaos of the battle, Bultar Swan found herself alone with Koffi Arana, facing an unarmed and injured Vader. While Arana wanted to kill Vader, Bultar Swan refused to kill an unarmed enemy and demanded that they follow the Jedi way and captured him. Arana, however, had fallen prey to the expediency of the Dark Side of the Force, and took matters into his own hands. He killed Swan with his own lightsaber before attacking Vader, but the Sith Lord quickly dispatched him as well. Swan died swiftly from her injuries. Official reports presented by Imperial HoloVision later claimed that Swan had been murdered by another Jedi in a struggle for supremacy. (OWS, HNN4, SWDB, PJSB, SWI87, SWP)

Swan, Darjeelai
This woman served Thrackan Sal-Solo as the leader of the group sent to Centerpoint Staton to assess any damaged caused when the station's repulsors were fired during the Battle of Fondor.

When Swanny agreed to help Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker infiltrate Decca's organization, he allowed the Jedi to play two parts in the band, even though they had not been hired for the job. The band was nearly destroyed in the attempt, when a gang of Striker's soldiers attacked Decca's base. (JQ6)

Swarm War
This was the term used to describe the conflict that erupted between the Chiss and the various hives of the Colony, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. As the Colony expanded under the influence of UnuThul, it became too large to support itself, and began to expand beyond a few planets in the Unknown Regions. When the Colony began taking over planets on the borders of Chiss space, the Chiss became defensive and tried to hold the Colony at bay. However, several small border clashes eventually turned into a full-scale war, as both sides believed that the other would not stop until every member of their civilization was killed. The Galactic Alliance and the new Jedi order tried to intervene, but found itself at odds with both the Chiss and the Colony. The conflict seemed to have been halted when UnuThul agreed to move large numbers of hives to planets within the Utegetu Nebula, but Lomi Plo refused to accept the resolution. Acting as the queen of the Dark Nest, she continued to cause trouble, increasing the production of black membrosia and bringing pirates and mercenaries into the Utegetu Nebula to work for the Colony. The war escalated after the Colony managed to capture the Admiral Ackbar, an event that the Chiss claimed was clear evidence of the Alliance's support of the Colony. The Colony, for its own part, took advantage of the Chiss accusation and set out to destabilize the Alliance, sending strike forces to stage military coups on the homeworlds of insectile races. With Thyferra captured by the Colony, the Alliance found its primary supply of bacta had been cut off. During this time, Jacen Solo had a vision in the Force that showed unending war if the situation wasn't resolved. Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker agreed with the vision, but not Jacen's way of dealing with it. Skywalker set out to eliminate Lomi Plo and remove UnuThul from the Colony, hoping that their removal would bring about a return to the normal hive mentality of the hives of the Colony. In the end, Skywalker's plan proved to be the correct path, as Lomi Plo was killed and UnuThul realized the problems that had been caused - and would continue to happen - if the Colony retained the linkage he provided to the Force. With the stalemate at the Battle of Tenupe, the Swarm War came to and end. (DN3)

Swarm-class Battle Droid
This Ssi-ruuvi design was a small drone ship powered by enteched life energies. These pyramidal ships were the main assault fighters of the Ssi-ruuvi fleet, and over 1,300 of them were sent to assist in the capture of Bakura. Each Swarm-class drone was packed with power generators for weapons and engines, battery coils to house two enteched life forces, sensors, and a drive unit. The power generators use fusion energy, and produce easily-trackable radiation trails. Maneuverability was achieved through the use of four small thrusters mounted around the outside of the ship. Each thruster can be independently angled to provide incredible turning ability. Each corner of the drone was armed with a laser cannon which had 360-degree rotation. They were remotely controlled by Ssi-ruuvi command cruisers which transmit directions to the drone's enteched life energies. Each Swarm-class drone was armed with four turret-mounter laser cannons, located at each point on the ship's outer hull. (EGV, TBSB)

After the Jedi willingly stripped the crop stubble of their sargheet, and did it exceptionally well, she realized that he was someone who could be trusted and had Dagro's best interests at heart. Her newfound trust in the Jedi was rewarded when Obi-Wan turned over a huge sum of credits to the sargheet farmers, the bounty that the Old Republic had been offering for the recovery of Separatist equipment, after Kirlan and a group of others helped Obi-Wan locate and capture a rogue crawl-carrier.

Swiftsure
This was one of only four Inexpugnable-class Tactical Command Ships to survive the early stages of the Mandalorian Wars. The Swiftsure was sent to Corellia for repairs just before the Mandalorians attacked Taris, and was ready to return to action within a few weeks. The ship was then placed under the command of Captain Dallan Morvis, and was assigned to Admiral Saul Karath's fleet. As part of its refitting, the Swiftsure was the first ship to serve as the control center for the Vanjervalis Chain, which allowed the crew to monitor and coordinate the activities of its entire supporting fleet. This new technology was put into use when Admiral Karath was recalled to defend the planet Coruscant from a Mandalorian attack. However, few realized that they were being manipulated by Haazen, who took advantage of his position within the Draay family to carry out his own plans for conquest. When Haazen discovered that the Jedi High Council had learned of his plans, he activated his remote connection to the Vanjervalis Chain and assumed control of Karath's fleet, bombarding Jedi-held locations on Coruscant's surface. Admiral Karath was at a loss as to how he should respond, until a technician discovered that the Vanjervalis Chain could be broken by destroying the Swiftsure. Although he hated losing the ship, Admiral Karath knew that bombarding Coruscant was even worse, and so he ordered all hands to evacuate immediately. However, Zayne Carrick and Lucien Draay managed to defeat Haazen, and Lucien was able to command the Vanjervalis Chain to call off its attacks. This allowed Admiral Karath to keep the Swiftsure intact, and gave the Republic's technicians an opportunity to remove the Vanjervalis technology and replace it with something under the Republic's control. (KORH, KOR7, WOTC, KOR10)

Swimmer Law
This was the term used by the Swimming People of Dellalt to describe their social regulations. Among the many laws contained within the Swimmer Law was the idea that there could only be one Top Bull, but any other bull could challenge their right to hold the position. Simple combat decided which individual was the Top Bull, and the reigning male could hold the position as long as he kept defeating any challengers. Under Swimmer Law, each Swimmer was allowed to swim in the lakes of Dellalt, and any obstruction of their right-of-way was the grounds for a challenge. Although any challenge under Swimmer Law could be fought to the death, combat often ended with a ritualistic surrender of one individual to the other. (HSL)

Swimmers
This was another name for the Swimming People of Dellalt. (HSL)

Swimming Crab
This species of crustacean was native to the moon Yavin 4. (GG2)

They were large creatures, attaining lengths of ten to fifteen meters. They had small heads atop long, muscular necks. They had blowholes instead of nostrils on top of their heads for breathing, and their mouths were filled with pointed teeth that were used to catch fish and other food. These teeth were also useful in battle. They had paddle-like flippers for locomotion, and short, heavy tails for steering and stability. They communicated in a form of speech not unlike Standard, using their mouths to form words. Their eyes were protected by nictitating membranes. The colors of their hides ranged from light gray to green and black. The swimming People were very territorial, and developed a set of Laws to govern their lives. These Laws had provisions for the other races native to Dellalt, since the Swimming People regularly interacted with the human Dellaltians. (HSL)

Jango Fett claimed the bounty shortly after the Battle of Naboo, during his search for Jervis Gloom. (BH)

A team of Alliance agents discovered that Sw'isi was still loyal to the Alliance, and had returned to Mutanda to gather additional support for the Alliance. The agent who tipped off Alliance Command was discovered to be an undercover Imperial spy who was searching for Sw'isi after the Horansi led several successful raids in the Killaniri System. (PG1)

Switch
This Alliance modular container group was captured by Imperial forces, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE, TIEP)

Switch
This droid worked as an information broker aboard Sel Zonn Station, in orbit around Ord Mantell, during the early years of the New Order. The Alderaanian Security agent known as Maya implicated Switch in the receipt of a particularly valuable cargo, which was supposed to have been stored in Deep Storage Bay V14 aboard the station. (DD01)

Switch
This protocol droid earned a profit by serving as an information broker aboard Sel Zonn Station, during the early years of the New Order. Distinguished by its Coruscanti accent and noble sensibilities, Switch maintained a small retinue of thugs and bodyguards to protect itself from other lowlifes. Switch maintained an office of sorts within Deep Storagte Bay V14 of the station, safely out of the public's view. Switch was approached by a group of freelance agents who had rescued the Alderaanian Security officer known as Maya, and the agents probed the droid for the answers to questions about Maya's attackers. Switch openly admitted that it was holding a cargo for Maya, but would not tell the agents much more. (DD01)

Swoken Spaceport
This was the primary spaceport found on the planet Makem Te. It was located in the city of Thousand Thousand. (GORW)

Swokes Swokes
Native to the planet Makem Te, this pasty-skinned alien race was distinguished by its portly body and loose, pallid skin. The head of a Swokes Swokes was conical in shape, with a crown of horns on the brow and another set of horns at the point. The wide mouth of the Swokes Swokes was dominated by large, fang-like upper teeth, and sat below a small nose and two bulbous eyes. The nervous system of an individual Swokes Swokes was more similar to that of a flatworm than to most other humanoid races, and they had the ability to regenerate lost limbs if necessary. This gave them a certain bravado on the battlefield, where Swokes Swokes were known to be fanatical in their attacks. The Swokes Swokes were remarkable in their adaptations to their homeworld, although they were not technologically advanced. Their cities were delicate structures built from cast iron, giving them an underlying strength despite their appearance. Most Swokes Swokes transportation was in the form of domesticated schingas. One interesting aspect of the Swokes Swokes civilization was their use of gemstones to indicate power. Rather than displaying them on pieces of jewelry, most Swokes Swokes had gemstones implanted in their bodies near vital organs as a form of status symbol. (YJC1, WOTC, GORW)

Swollen Cheek
This was the nickname used by Alema Rar to describe the human leader of the zap gang she encountered in the depths of Coruscant, some five years after the Battle of Tenupe, when she was trying to hunt down Jacen Solo. Swollen Cheek and his gang had been abusing a female Gamorren, but turned their attention to Alema herself, wrongly surmising that a crippled female would be no match for them. However, Alema had no time for them, and used the Force to urge them back to chasing after the Gamorrean. (LF3)

Swoo, Nibber
This hyperactive Rybet worked as an aircab driver on the planet Coruscant, during the last years of the Old Republic. He had a license from the government to drive outside designated traffic lanes, which made him popular with many of the planet's underground figures, because he could take them to remote locations for clandestine meetings. Nibber's cousin, also livingon Coruscant, owned a funeral parlor which had an organic disintegrator, a fact that allowed criminals to hire Nibber's cab to assist in the disposal of unwanted bodies. (CCW)

Swoont, Babalabbet
This Sullustan was a highly respected cybernetic engineer in his home system. A promising career took a bad turn when Swoont ate some contaminated food and suffered slight damage to his brain. His work began to result in deviant behavior in droids, and a mining accident caused by one his droids resulted in his incarceration in a criminal asylum. The noted droid abolitionist Xalto Sneerzick recognized Swoont's ability with droids, and arranged to free Swoont from prison. Despite his insanity, Swoont became fiercely loyal to Sneerzick, and became an integral part of the Droid Abolitionist Movement. When Sneerzick decided to start raiding Cosmohaul Shipping, Swoont devotely followed him. They posed as a transport crew, and were given the task of transporting 100 R5 units to Sullust on the Argent Lady. Xalto's programming of the R5 droids caused them to rebel against even the abolitionists, and Sneerzick's entire team was shot and killed by the rebellious droids. Swoont perished along with them. (SWJ9)

Swoop
This was the generic term used to describe any small repulsorcraft larger than a speederbike, which was highly maneuverable, and was often used as a racing vehicle. The swoop was basically an overpowered respulsorlift engine pod with handlebars. It had a pair of landing skids mounted on its bottom, and a control panel attached to the handlebars. Gangs often use swoops because of their speed and compact design. Han Solo once raced swoops for a living. The basic swoop offered no protection for the rider, and were capable of speeds in excess of 600 kilometers an hour. Some swoops were modified for military use after the success of speeder bikes at Endor. Note that The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels claims that swoops had been in production across the galaxy for hundreds of thousands of years. (HSR, DFR, SWSB, EGV, SWI64, NEGV)

Swoop Sled
This form of repulsorsled was extremely fast and maneuverable, and was armed with a single laser cannon. (SWJ9)

Swoopbike
This was one of the earliest forms of combat speederbike, first produced by corporations on the planet Taris several millennium before the onset of the Clone Wars. These early swoopbikes were built for speed and maneuverability, and were popular with the youth of the planet. Over the following millennia, all manner of swoopbikes were produced. Around the time of the Battle of Ruusan, swoopbikes had become massive repulsorlift vehicles that were armed with heavy cannons, allowing their drivers to hit enemy lines with large amounts of blasterfire. These vehicles could be used in combat situations where gunboats and other aircraft could not maneuver, due to the surrounding terrain or when opposing armies were too engaged to risk heavier weaponry. (DBPD, KORH)

Swoopchasing
A form of swoop racing, a swoopchase involved negotiating a swoop through an obstacle course. The course consisted of five or more gravity obstacles which pushed or pulled the swoop away from the course. Often, the obstacles involved dangerous consequences for the racers. It was generally accepted that swoopchasing originated on the planet Omman, the brainchild of bored farmers. Over the decades, as the sport became more and more popular, races became sanctioned and league formed to govern the sport. Three of the most prominent courses were located on Socorro, Redcap, and Najiba, and any rider to win all three in succession was guaranteed a place in history. A fourth course on par with these was developed on Neftali. Minor racecourses, used in qualifying heats, were located on Omman, Tatooine, and Garos IV. (BSS)

Swoopdueling
This was a form of gladiator event that was popularized by Krish syndicate known simply as The Franchise, during the era of the Mandalorian Wars. Where other forms of gladiator events were fought to the death, swoopduels were waged until one fighter was unable to continue, at which point the match was called in favor of the winner. The fighters in these events flew modified swoops around a pre-determined course, doing everything they could to unseat the other racers. Obstacles of all kinds - including static walls and dividers, as well asriders on winged beasts and other random obstacles - were placed along the course to add to the excitement of viewers. Those swoopduelists who survived to the end of the racecourse were then forced to fight each other in hand-to-hand combat, with the victor being determined by the last racer standing. Although combatants were allowed to use energy weapons during a race, these weapons were shut down when a fighter was unable to continue due to their injuries. A special wristband worn by every racer detected the amount of pain that a being was experiencing, and when a certain threshhold was passed, it signaled any weapons in the vicinity to power down. In this way, individual racers were allowed to continue competing in future events, allowing each racer to build of a base of fans. The center of the swoopdueling universe was based on Jervo's World, a station located in orbit around the planet Pantolomin. (KOR13)

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

Sword of Honor
This was the quasi-religious symbol of the Kentra and their social structure. In reality, the Sword of Honor was the ancient lightsaber of Michael Tandre. It was said that, when the Sword of Honor was restored to working order, the second age of the Kentra would begin, "with new allies…" (SWJ2)

Sword of Ieldis
This ancient Sith artifact was recovered by the Jedi Order, during the years leading up to the Padawan Massacre, and stored in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. The power of the Sword of Ieldis was believed to have been augmented when the wielder also wore the Helm of Dathka Grausch. (KOR8)

Sword of the Jedi
This was the name used by Luke Skywalker to describe Jaina Solo, when it was announced that she had attained the level of Jedi Knight. In Master Skywalker's words, Jaina was to be "…a burning brand to your enemies, a brilliant fire to your friends." Master Skywalker described the Sword of the Jedi as a restless soul who would never know peace, but would be able to bring peace to others. He went on to say that the Sword of the Jedi would stand tall but alone, but could take comfort in the fact that others would find shelter in her shadow. Jaina found that this appellation was more work to maintain than she believed, as the war against the Yuuzhan Vong wore her down and distanced her from her friends and family.

In the wake of the Swarm War, Jaina thought little of the title, until her brother Jacen started down a path toward the Dark Side of the Force. She then admitted that she feared the Sword of the Jedi might become a modern version of the Chosen One, the Jedi who was believed to bring balance to the Force. This individual turned out to be Jaina's grandfather, Anakin Skywalker, who later became Darth Vader. Jaina's fear stemmed from the fact that most Jedi of the time felt that the reappearance of Lumiya, the Dark Lady of the Sith, was causing an imbalance in the Force. This imbalance might have been the reason behind Jacen's actions, and brought up new questions on what the Sword of the Jedi was supposed to do.

Jaina could find no answers among the Jedi, and feared that a confrontation with her brother was inevitable. She took on the mission to locate Alema Rar, hoping that it would prepare her for the coming battle. However, as Jacen's power in the Force grew and he assumed the title of Darth Caedus, Jaina realized that she needed something else to help her defeat her brother. She spent a month training with Boba Fett and his Mandalorians, hoping that guerrilla tactics would overcome her brother's powers. In this, Jaina found that she was correct, and Grand Master Luke Skywalker helped to improve her chances by using his own powers to make Caedus believe that it was he, and not Jaina, who was coming for him.

Jaina confronted her brother on the Nickel One asteroid, and managed to use a beskad to remove one of his arms. Jaina, however, was also injured in their fight, and had to be evacuated from the asteroid. When Caedus pressed his advantage and tried to attack the hidden Jedi base on Shedu Maad, Jaina infiltrated the Anakin Solo and confronted her brother once again. In the ship's infirmary, they fought their final battle, with Jaina emerging victorious. She had finally become the Sword of the Jedi, and understood what the prophecy really meant. Without Jacen, she was truly alone, but her victory meant that others would be free of his corrupting influence. (Y, DW, LF4, LF7, LF9)

She and her followers had hoped to convince her father to switch his allegiance to the Alliance, but he refused. Syayna was forced to go underground. When Luke Skywalker arrived on Jazbina on a diplomatic mission, Prepredenko tricked him into "rescuing" Syayna from a group of kidnappers. In reality, Prepredenko used Luke to discover the location of Syayna's rebel cell and arrest its members. Syayna was placed under house arrest and shackled in her rooms at the palace. Syayna pretended to want Luke dead as badly as Prepredenko, and he released her long enough for her to kill Luke. However, Syayna set the blaster to stun and knocked Luke out, then told her father that she would bring Luke's body up to the audience chamber. Instead, she spirited Luke away from the palace and brought him to her cell's hideout. However, they were discovered by Jal Te Gniev and Darth Vader at the same time. Syayna refused to turn over Luke, and in the face of a warehouse full of Jazbinan rebels, Vader elected to leave the planet. She and Raol then decided to dedicate their lives to each other. (VQ)

When she was finally able to draw Luke into her lair and control him, she reverted back to her true form: an ugly old hag. Luke was able to fight through her spell, and tried to escape. S'ybll then projected an image of Darth Vader to battle Luke, but he saw through the illusion and broke her spell.

The Curse of Sycorax states that, should the natives of Necropolis ever ignore their dead, the dead would rise up and take control of the planet. Sycorax and her son were supposedly buried in the Crypt of the Ancients. It was later revealed that her corpse was nothing more than rotting bones, and that she had no power to reach beyond the grave. (GOF2)

He eventually pushed Sylvar over the edge, and she clawed him across the right cheek. He nearly killed her, especially when she accused him of not being a true Jedi. During the early times of the Sith War, Sylvar pursued her lover to the Stenness System, where Crado and Oss Wilum were trying to kill Master Thon. She chose to fight Crado, and considered him lost to her forever. Sylvar remained loyal to the Jedi throughout the conflict, despite the fact that they allowed Ulic Qel-Droma to live after his alliance with Exar Kun killed Crado and nearly destroyed the Jedi Knights. During the Exis Convocation ten years later, Sylvar's voice was strongest in denouncing the Jedi's lack of action against Ulic. In an effort to divert her energies, Tott Doneeta took her to Ryloth with him, during his attempt to heal the rift between the Doneeta and R'lyek clans. Sylvar, skirting with the Dark Side of the Force in her hatred of Ulic, roused the Doneeta clan into a killing frenzy and nearly brought them into a war with the R'lyek. Tott avoided the conflict, and was forced to return Sylvar to Cathar. There, she met with Kharr and went on a blood hunt to try and regain her focus. Unfortunately, she slaughtered an entire colony of kiltiks before realizing that she was falling deeper into the Dark Side. When she learned that Vima Sunrider had traveled to Rhen Var to train under Ulic, Sylvar returned to Exis Station to offer her assistance to Nomi in an effort to locate Vima. However, Nomi had already left, so Sylvar hired Hoggon to take her to Rhen Var, where she hoped to kill Ulic once and for all. She confronted him, and when Ulic refused to kill her in battle, Sylvar found she didn't have the heart to kill him either. She powered her lightsaber off, but was unprepared for Hoggon's appearance. The little man shot Ulic in the back, believing that he had killed the greatest traitor to the Jedi order. Sylvar nearly killed Hoggon for his insolence, but let him escape. (DLS, TSW, EGC, TOJR)

Sylvn
This young Cerean woman was the daughter of Ki-Adi-Mundi and his honor-wife, Mawin. Like many teenagers, Sylvn was troubled by her loyalty to her family and her desire to fit in with her friends. She often sided with her friends, who were demanding the import of technology, rather than with her father. However, as her boyfriend Maj-Odo-Nomor was implicated in the death of another youth at t pro-tech rally, she was thrust into an existence she couldn't condone. When Maj started showing affection to Twin, rather than Sylvn, her resolve to listen closer to her father's words deeped. Meanwhile, to protect his "investment," Ephant Mon took Maj, Twin, and Sylvn to Tatooine for safe keeping. They stowed away on a transport ship, but were sharing the ship with divvik pupae. The pupae hatched into adults, threatening them all until Ki arrived to rescue them. The Chevin used Sylvn's presence as a lure to guide Ki. (PTR)

Sylvn
This was a common name among Cerean females. Unlike their male counterparts, Cerean females use a single name unless they became a bond-wife. In this case, a female will take on their husband's grandfather's name for official matters. The name Sylvn referred to a free-spirited wife in Cerean mythology. (GCG)

Sylvn
This was the name of a free-spirited wife from Cerean mythology. (GCG)

Symatrum League
This protest group was one of the more peaceable members of the Coalition of Automaton Rights Activists. Led by Bethelia Halvala, the Symatrum League staged non-violent picket lines outside the offices and plants of droid manufacturers. (FTD)

Symbian
This language was originally used thousands of years before the formation of the Old Republic. It eventually died out some 30,000 years before the Clone Wars, but remained an obscure source of research for linguists for millennia. (MBS)

Symbiont Cyborg
This was the term used to describe any form of sentient individual that was created when an organic being was combined with droid technology. This category was often described as the opposite of most cyborg categories in that it was the only category in which the organic being was added to the droid, instead of the cybernetics being added to the living being. The Iron Knights and the JK Bio-droids were two examples of this kind of cyborg. (NEGD)

Symbiospore
This broad-fronded fungus grew in the forests of the planet Kothlis, and was often found in the upper branches of the gankto tree. This fungus survived via an odd form of photosynthesis, as well as by stealing nutrients from its host plant. Symbiospore gave off a moldt fragrance which permeated the surrounding forests. (SPG)

Symer
This beast, native to Serat, was the only known predator of the tymp. A healthy population of symers kept the population of the scavenging tymps to a minimum. Unfortunately for the Seratians, they believed that the organs and appendages of the symer contained mystical powers, and killed the predators just to obtain them. The destruction of the symer population allowed the tymps to reproduce at a prodigious rate, which eventually threatened to eliminate the supplies of roti consumed by the Seratians. (COG)

Symm, Siene
This male Sullustan was the co-pilot of the modified Lantillian Deluxe short hauler, the Long Shot. He was obvious from most Sullustans by his gaudy clothing, which was considered tasteless by some of his acquiantences. Siene Symm was a natural con artist, and made his living taking credits from whoever was fool enough to part with them. When the Empire abducted him, Siene Symm was put to work as a starship mechanic. This provided him with invaluable skills and a burning hatred for the Empire. When he escaped and joined Ixsthmus's crew, he threw himself into this new line of work with great pleasure, which impressed Ixsthmus. Siene Symm's cunning side had also endeared him to his new employer, for it helps make negotiations easier. (SWCP)

Symmetric Cloud-Vee Formation
An attack posture used by small starfighters. (HTTE)

Symon Tube
This was one of the key components in the MX9 blaster rifle. It required regular filing to ensure that it was smooth, since normal usage inevitably caused scratches during recoil. (LFCW)

Symoxin
This chemical was originally developed as a contact painkiller, which could be rubbed on aching muscles to soothe and relax them. Many bounty hunters discovered that concentrated symoxin could be used to render a target unconscious, and often filled small darts with it. (EGW)

Symponik
This was the Gungan term used to describe any of the emotional, sweeping epics of words and music that were created by the Great Municipal Band to document and maintain the history of the Gungan people. Each symponik was an emotional account of the past deeds of the Gungangs, meant to ensure that each successive generation never forgot the bravery and valor of their ancestors. (SWDB)

Symponika Crunchen-Grand
This was one of the best-known Gungan symponiks, written by band leader Beezar Pert, many years before the Battle of Naboo. As much a historical narrative as a musical epic, the Symponika Crunchen-Grand chronicled the formation of the first Gungan Grand Army. (SWDB)

Symponika Nabooalla
This Gungan symponik was written by Augarra Jowil, who chronicled the events surrounding the Battle of Naboo during her tenure as the leader of the Great Municipal Band. The epic, musical story told of the efforts of Queen Amidala of the Naboo to enlist the help of Boss Nass and the Gungan Grand Army in fighting back against the Trade Federation's takeover of their homeworld, and of the battles that took place on the ground and in space, before culminating with the joint peace treaty that linked the humans and Gungans together.

The opening movements of the Symponika Nabooalla were premiered at the celebration of peace that followed the Battle of Naboo, to thunderous applause from both Gungan and human alike. (SWDB)

Sym-voyage
This form of virtual reality simulation was popular during the last decades of the Clone Wars. The simulation allowed patrons to visit any number of remote, exotic, or popular planets without actually leaving their homeworld. The simulations contained a wide spectrum of "reality", depending on how much an individual was willing to pay for the experience. (JQ9)

Syn
This was a tough, synthetic fabric that was used to make tents. (SE)

Syn, Andov
Andov Syn was one of the most famous Kerestians in history. Unfortunately, Syn was famous because he was a ruthless, deadly mercenary who could be hired to perform just about any job. Syn, who wore ornate battle armor and traveled in a jet-black space yacht known as Syn's Shadow, was once hired by a group of pirates who were trying to raid the mining colony on Adim. The miners had hired a group of mercenaries to protect them, but Syn eliminated them all singlehandedly. Very few individuals knew that the name Andov Syn was an alias used by the notoritous bounty hunter Nariss Siv Loqesh. (GG12, WBC, GAL6)

Syn, Jariah
This dark-skinned man was an acquaintence of Cade Skywalker, having trained with the former Jedi under the watchful eye of the Feeorin pirate, Rav, during the years following the Sith-Imperial War. Jariah had been part of Rav's crew since childhood, having followed in the footsteps of his father, Zareb. After a failed mission on a remote planet, Jariah believed that his father had been killed by a Jedi Master, and he maintained a deep hatred for the Jedi for many years. This hatred was cultivated by Rav, who used it to blind Jariah to the truth of the mission. It was Syn who first convinced Rav to rescue Cade, after he fled the destruction of the Jedi operations on Ossus. His request to keep Cade alive came despite the fact that Syn's own father had been killed by a Jedi. Syn later became the co-pilot of the Mynock, where he worked with Cade Skywalker and Deliah Blue.Despite the prohibitions against their transport, Syn often trafficked in Yuuzhan Vong bio-weapons. Although he hated the Jedi, Jariah was unaware of Cade's true history, and welcomed him as a friend and a partner. Thus, when the trio of bounty hunters stumbled upon Hosk Trey'lis at Brogar's cantina on Lok, Syn set out to kill the Bothan Jedi instead of taking him alive. Cade hit Syn with the body of Naxy Screeger, the first bounty they had tried to claim in Brogar's, later explaining that the bounty on Trey'lis was worth more if the Jedi was returned alive. Upon returning both bounties to Rav's base on Socorro, the Feeorin only paid them enough to cover Cade's existing debts, plus a few deathsticks to cover Cade's addiction. Jariah and Deliah Blue both decried the situation, and Jariah even confronted Rav's motives in keeping Cade addicted. Rav refused to back down, crueling reminding him that he was only alive because Jariah's father had asked Rav to see to his survival. Beyond that, Rav explained, there was no other debt to pay to Jariah, Cade or any other being.

As they set out to leave Socorro, the bounty hunters were approached by Astraal Vao and Marasiah Fel, who requested transport to Vendaxa. Cade agreed to transport them, much to Jariah's chagrin, but he later explained that he knew exactly who his passengers were. After it was revealed that Fel was the daughter of former Emperor Roan Fel, Jariah and Blue agreed to transport them, thinking of the profit if they could also capture the former Emperor. However, on Vendaxa, they were set upon by Darth Talon, who had been trailing the Imperial Princess. It was then that Cade was forced to reveal his true heritage, when he called upon the Force to prevent Darth Talon from killing his friends. Jariah suddenly found himself torn between his loyalty to Cade and his own hatred of the Jedi.

After escaping the Sith on Vendaxa, the crew of the Mynock took Princess Fel back to Bastion and delivered her to her father. Both Jariah and Deliah were handsomely rewarded for their efforts, but both were surprised and saddened to learn that Cade and Jedi Master Wolf Sazen fled into the galaxy on their own. They were both handsomely rewarded for returning the Princess to Bastion, but Deliah took Cade's disappearance quite personally. Jariah decided to take a more pragmatic approach, and wanted to gamble his part of the reward in order to make enough credits to replace the Mynock. Blue refused to help him, and agreed to meet with Rav on Socorro to discuss a new job.

Unknown to both Jariah and Blue was the fact that Rav had already sold them out to the head of Imperial Intelligence, Nyna Calixte, who was searching for Cade Skywalker. Calixte offered to consider them as Cade's hostages, if they were to provide information on his whereabouts. Jariah refused, and Calixte threatened to interrogate him if he didn't agree to her demands. Calixte then turned them both over to the Sith, who tortured them in an effort to force Cade to use his power to heal Darth Krayt. Both were implanted with Sith-augmented Yuuzhan Vong coral seeds, which grew at an accelerated rate and threatened to kill them if Cade didn't intervene. Cade drew on the Dark Side of the Force to save them both, then agreed to serve the Sith in exchange for their freedom. Although Deliah and Jariah both protested, Cade declared that they owed him nothing and forced them to leave the Sith Temple.

When Jariah and Blue returned to Rik's Cantina, Queen Jool showed them a hologram that had been recorded by Cade and stored in R2-D2, explaining that the Mynock was now their ship, and to stay away from the Sith Temple. It was Jariah who suggested that they simply leave, but Deliah demanded that they consider rescuing Cade. They were then approached by Morrigan Corde, who was already working on a mission for Moff Vorlish Veed, to either rescue Cade or kill him. After several weeks of planning and reconnaissance that was aided by modified Yuuzhan Vong insects, their mission happened to coincide with Cade's own attempt to defeat the Sith and break free. Morrigan helped Jariah and Blue rescue Cade, then she disappeared into the undercity of Coruscant. Jariah then joined Cade and Deliah and traveled to Iego, where they hoped to find some measure of respite at the Rawk's Nest. However, their presence was discovered by a group of Imperial warships, and they were forced to flee the base. Following "Bantha" Rawk's orders, the group then traveled to Taivas, where they were welcomed into the Hidden Temple of the Jedi Knights.

Jariah was more than uncomfortable around so many Jedi, and roamed the corridors in an effort to escape from their presence. During one of his walks, Azlyn Rae accompanied him, and they ran into her former Master, a Cathar named Rasi Tuum. Jariah was surprised to remember the Jedi Master as the being he believed had killed his father many years earlier, and set out to avenge the death of his father. His attacks on Master Rasi Tuum were countered each time, and Rasi Tuum was able to drive him back against a stone column. The Jedi Master then allowed Jariah to tell his side of the story surrounding the death of Zareb Syn. Jariah believed that the Jedi had been trying to take a group of younglings to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, against the wills of their parents, and had killed his father when Zareb tried to intervene. Rasi Tuum explained that this was a story Rav had used to appease Jariah. In reality, Master Rasi Tuum had been trying to prevent Rav's crew from stealing the children and selling them into slavery, and had met any attacks with equal force. Zareb was one of many slavers who tried to kill the Jedi, and were met with deadly force in order to prevent the theft of the children. Jariah then remembered the anguished cries of a female Arkanian, the only child taken by Rav's crew, as she was thrown into a hold until she could be sold off to the highest bidder.

With this memory, Jariah realized that Rav had cultivated his hatred of the Jedi, twisting the truth to keep him from acting against the rest of the crew. Although he refused to become friendly with the Jedi, Jariah accepted Master Rasi Tuum's words. After the gathered Jedi Masters agreed to pursue an alliance with Emperor Roan Fel, but refused to support Cade's plans to a direct assassination of Darth Krayt, Jariah quickly joined Cade in an independent assault on the Sith Lord. (SWI87, SWI88, SWLB, SWLG, SWLC, SWLHT)

Syn, Peccati
This Imperial Navy officer was one of the last twelve Grand Admirals. Syn grew up as a devote follower of the Sacred Way, until the Empire subjugated his homeworld and made the religion illegal. Syn decided to fill the spiritual void left in his heart by taking the New Order and its doctrines as his own ideals. He later found a new sort of religion within the Church of the Dark Side, a group which had been sanctioned by Sate Pestage. While outwardly loyal to the New Order, Syn became increasingly more dedicated to the Church of the Dark Side, and even had the Prophetess Merili at his side when he established his holdings at Kashyyyk. He was defeated by Admiral Ackbar during the liberation of Kashyyyk when his flagship, Fi, was destroyed. (ECH, SWI66)

Syn, Zareb
This dark-skinned man was a member of Rav's pirate crew, during the years leading up to the Sith-Imperial War. Zareb and his young son, Jariah, plied the spacelanes with Rav, taking on whatever jobs needed to be done. On a mission to raid a Roonstone mine on the planet Roon, the crew was ordered to collect a group of younglings who were to be sold into slavery. Jedi Master Rasi Tuum intervened, drawing his lightsaber in an attempt to prevent the crew from taking the children. When the crew, including Zareb, drew their blasters and tried to kill the Jedi, Rasi Tuum was forced to confront them in order to save the children. Zareb managed to get behind the Cathar Jedi and drew a long knife, hoping to slice the Jedi's head from his shoulders. Rav took the opportunity created by their confrontation to lift off in the Crimson Axe, leaving Zareb alone with Rasi Tuum.

In the years that followed, Rav told his own story of the confrontation, instilling a hatred of the Jedi in Jariah's memory. According to Rav, Jariah tried to rescue his father, and Rav was forced to shoot Rasi Tuum in order to prevent Jariah's death. In order to save Rav and the rest of the crew, Zareb sacrificed his own life by engaging Master Rasi Tuum in combat. Rav then explained that Rasi Tuum had been trying to steal the children and bring them to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, further instilling a hatred in Jariah's heart. However, Master Rasi Tuum later explained the truth of the situation to Jariah, when they met again at the Hidden Temple on Taivas, some seven years after the Massacre at Ossus. Rasi Tuum was actually trying to prevent Rav and his crew from taking the children and selling them into slavery, and Zareb was one of the crew members who tried to kill the Jedi. Rasi Tuum met their attacks with equal force, and had to kill Zareb in order to save the children.

Jariah then saw through the lies and stories Rav had used to keep him under control, and remembered the plight of the one Arkanian girl the crew had managed to take. Rav had explained that the girl had been saved from a life of servitude to the Jedi Order, but Jariah remembered her anguished screams as the crew took her into the holds. This single memory forced Jariah to confront the truth of his father's death, and although he did not fully forgive Master Rasi Tuum, he chose not to pursue his vendetta any further. (SWLHT)

However, the Chiss acknowledged that House Nuruodo remained in command of the military. (DJ)

Syndicat
This large, criminal organization took control of the planet Phindar some years before the Battle of Naboo. They kept the general populace poor and needy, so that hundreds would line up for a single loaf of bread, rather than worry about rebelling against the Syndicat. Using the memory-altering technology of the Renewal, the Syndicat ensured that its base of power was never threatened or questioned. The Syndicat removed the memories of anyone suspected of acting against it, then set them free on another world as punishment. Sometimes, memory-wiped Phindians were let loose on Phindar itself, although far from their homes. The Syndicat went so far as to blockade the planet Phindar, to maintain its hold on the Phindians.

During the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, the Syndicat was led by the Phindian Baftu and his assistant, Terra. It was during this time that Guerra and Paxxi Derida tried to enlist the help of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi in freeing Phindar form the Syndicat. The Syndicat began supporting Prince Beju of Gala, in his bid to win the general elections there, in the hopes of taking control of the planet Gala as well. This would allow them to extend their influence and increase their profits. However, their plans were exposed by the Derida brothers with the help of the Jedi, and the Syndicat was destroyed when Baftu was captured by the Phindian resistance. (HP, PH)

Syndicate One
This organization was formed from the marketing division of Trigdale Metallurgy. Following the Battle of Endor, Trigdale cut off several of its subordinate divisions. Saujutta-Ok-Topii, the Director of Marketing at the time, recognized the potential strengths of her division, and took much of her own personal savings to form Syndicate One on Valgauth. The new corporation became known as a weapons manufacturing and distribution business. (SWJ8)

Syndulla, Cham
This Twi'lek male was considered a radical and a rebel, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He was among the first of his kind to rally his people to demand Ryloth's freedom from the bureaucracy of Coruscant and the Galactic Republic, which earned him the ire of Senator Orn Free Taa. Senator Taa saw Syndulla as a rival who was trying to gather his own base of power. Despite his efforts, however, Syndulla was unable to prevent the Confederacy of Independent Systems from invading Ryloth, nor could he prevent the Republic's subsequent defense of the planet. Syndulla did, however, continue to rally the Twi'leks to fight for their freedom, regardless of who the enemy was. His efforts were to be immortalized in song by Gobi Glie, who believed that the Twi'lek's needed a legend, not just a leader, that would provide them with an edge against the Separatist battle droids. After Wat Tambor took control of the city of Lessu, Syndulla and his freedom fighters found themselves facing a powerful enemy, and he was forced to accept the aid of Jedi Master Mace Windu in recapturing the city. However, he voiced his concerns to Windu about accepting the Republic's aid, fearing that the Twi'leks were simply trading one oppressive group for another. Syndulla then agreed to discuss the situation with Senator Taa, who assured Syndulla that the Republic would not require its military forces to remain on Ryloth after the planet was freed. Syndulla, in return, agreed not to make his own bid for power, and to respect the Senator's role in the galactic community. In the hours that followed, Syndulla worked with Master Windu and his clone troopers to launch a daring assault on Lessu, which was ultimately successful when Wat Tambot surrendered to the Republic's forces. (CWOC1, CWTV21)

Syned
This cold, ice-covered planet was located on the outer fringe of its system, and was devoid of natural life. However, a small outpost sprang up under protective domes and in underground cities.

Sy'nir
This was a common Psadan name. (UANT)

Synnt, Nada
This smuggler went by a series of unusual and laughable aliases, during the height of the New Order. Synnt's name was used in a false transmission provided to Chenlambec and Tinian I'att, during their attempt to trap Bossk near Lomabu III.

Synostat
This medicinal lubricant was used to keep clamps and other tools pliable and clean, as it provided both a barrier from moisture and germ-killing abilities. (MJH)

Synox
This was one of the most deadly toxins created for used by the GenoHaradan Assassin Guild, during the years following the Great Sith War. Synox was useful because it was virtually odorless, colorless, and tasteless, allowing it to be used in a wide variety of situations and deployment methods. It could also be used in conjunction with another form of poison, allowing an unsuspecting victim to discover and treat the secondary toxin without realizing the presence of the synox. A being poisoned by synox experienced wracking fits of coughing, which were soon followed by the destruction of the internal organs. The body began to hemmorrhage internally, as evidenced by profuse bleeding from the eyes and nose. Within a very short period of time, the victim died as their vital organs failed in swift succession. (DBPD)

Synstone
This durable building material was made from natural rock. The rock was crushed and mixed into a slurry with chemical dissolvants. It could then be cast into structual shapes or sprayed onto the frame of a building. When hardened, the resulting synstone covering was much stronger and more resistant than natural stone. Synstone was a popular building material on many desert worlds, because it was able to absorb heat without radiating it to the surrounding environment. This helped keep in interior spaces relatively cool. (SE, LLOW)

Syntex
This form-fitting, synthetic material was developed for the manufacture of various kinds of clothing, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. (LF3)

Synthdroid
Manufactured by Loronar Corporation after the formation of the New Republic, synthdroids were mechanical constructs which had sculpted synthflesh grown over their metal armatures. They had minimal internal computing power, since their actions were centrally controlled via the use of CCIR technology. Loronar supplied a number of synthdroids to Seti Ashgad and Dzym during their attempt to take control of the galaxy, for synthdroids proved to be excellent workers. Even when the Death Seed plague was consuming the synthflesh, the droid armature kept right on working. However, the synthdroids' central processor was destroyed by Leia Organa-Solo during her escape from Ashgad's Hweg Shul fortress, and they were unable to stop her. (POT)

This was a form of aynthetic skin that was used in medical facilities during the final years of the Old Republic. (RDV)

Synthsteak
This was a processed foodstuff that resembled steak in texture and taste. It was easily produced, and provided much the same nutrients as a real steak, but without the slaughter of herd animals that many not have existed on a given planet. (T, SWG2P)

Synth-steel
A material used in construction, synth-steel was as strong as pure steel, but less costly. (E1A5)

Synthstone
This was a form of manufactured gemstone, often created as an imitation of a more valuable stone. It could also be used to mimic raw stone, allowing for the construction of natural-seeming walls. (TCD, IWST, LJ5)

Synthtech Medtech Corporation
This medical corporation produced a wide range of medical scanners and irradiation boxes for military and field use. (FOP, PSG)

Synthtone
A musical instrument that creates the sounds of other instruments using electronics. (ISU)

Synth-viol
This was an electronic form of the standard viol, popular with youths during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN4)

Synthvoice
This was the term used to describe the artificial sounds and vocabulations of a droid that used speech to communicate with its environment. (MF)

Synthwood
This manufactured material was used to create doors and other building structures, because it was formed to resemble real wood. (LF6)

Synthwool
This synthetic material was used to weave rugs and carpets. (DSTR)

Syntonium
A crystal hauled by Tem Chesko. (GAL3)

Syo, Brisha
This was the name of a woman, native to the planet Commenor, who supposedly paid for the berthing of a Sentinel-class lander in Lorrd City Spaceport, during the early stages of the so-called New Corellian Crisis. The shuttle, which had been used by the assassins who killed Aidel Saxan, had been tracked to Lorrd by Ben Skywalker, when he was accompanying Jacen Solo on the investigation into the death of Siron Tawaler.

Brisha Syo was later apprehended and held for questioning by Jacen, who was shocked to discover that she was Force-sensitive. Syo then revealed that she had been present when Tawaler had killed himself, and had left behind that knotted tassels that Jacen was investigating. She then claimed that she tried to obtain passage on the shuttle, and was attacked by the pilot. She killed him in self-defense, then took the shuttle on her own, knowing that Jacen would ultimately track her down. During her interrogation, she revealed that she had been living on an asteroid in the MZX32905 System, and Jacen decided that he needed to visit the system and see it for himself.

On her asteroid home, Brisha revealed that she had studied Sith lore, and that the asteroid had once been home to a mynock-like race of Force-sensitive beings. She also explained to Jacen that she believed the spirit of Darth Vectivus was still living in the core of the asteroid. Upon locating Vectivus, Brisha revealed that her true name was Shira Brie, and Jacen realized that she was better-known as Lumiya. When Jacen refused to accept Lumiya's offer to become a new Sith Lord, he left her behind on the asteroid. However, he told Ben Skywalker that Brisha Syo had died from injuries sustained in combat, keeping alive the option that he might one day return to Lumiya.

Luke Skywalker later discovered information on Lumiya's personal datapad that led him to believe that Brisha Syo was not Lumiya herself, but was actually Lumiya's daughter. This information was later shown to be false, having been planted there to lure the Skywalkers into Lumiya's own traps. Other information led Jagged Fel and others to the conclusion that Brisha Syo was simply an alter ego that had been adopted by Lumiya in order to cover her tracks as she became Jacen Solo's teacher. (LF1, LF4, LF5, LF7)

Syo, Lumiya
see Lumiya (LF1)

Syo Package
This was the codename of a transmission that was sent from Lumiya to Jacen Solo, after she arranged to provide information on the Galactic Alliance's naval forces to Tathak K'roylan and the Bothans, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. (LF4)

Syp
A tree native to the planet Ossel II, it was harvested by the Ossan for its beautiful wood. (GG4)

Syren
This was a Trade Federation pleasure liner which plied the oceans of the planet Maramere, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. About six years after the Battle of Naboo, the Syren was ambushed by Sol Sixxa and his pirates. Lord Toat was killed, and Ruuk was thrown overboard before the Syren was scuttled and sent to the bottom of the ocean. It was later discovered by the Feeorin mercenary Nym and his crew, and scavenged for any information leading to the location of Sixxa. Nym managed to recover the head of the droid PL-37 before being attacked by a large sea creature. (CRBN)

Syren
A flowering, carnivorous plant native to Kashyyyk, the syren grew on the floor of the dense jungle. The syren plant had two oval-shaped, yellow petals which grew atop a thick, blood-red stalk. In the center of the two petals was a mass of glossy, white fibers that exuded a wide variety of pheromones. These pheromones, in turn, attracted a wide variety of wildlife. When a creature touched the inner surface of a petal, the petals clamped shut over the prey, and the syren began to secrete digestive fluids to consume the prey. The Wookiees of Kashyyyk, as a test of bravery and maturity, sent groups of young Wookiees to the jungle floor to harvest the fibers. The stronger Wookiees held the petals open while others remove the fibers, which were used to form strong ropes. The average syren grew to a height of six to seven meters, and lived for just a single year. During Kashyyyk's winter season, the syren plants died out. Their brittle husks were ripped apart by seasonal winds, scattering the syren's seeds across the jungle floor. (HTF, TEP, GMR4)

Syril
This Alliance Intelligence agent scouted the planet Aargau for the Alliance, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. He was assisted by the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, although C-3PO provided Syril with more irrelevant data than usable information. (PH)

Syrspirit
This dark, viscous liqueur was popular among the nobles and military officers of the galaxy. First produced during the years prior to the Clone Wars, syrspirit continued to be favored by officers of Imperial Remnant, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong War. (LF8, CWNOP)

Syrtik
This male Fia was a Captain in the Galantos Guard during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was Captain Syrtik, despite orders that came down from Councilor Jobath himself, who decided to lend assistance to the meager forces of the Galactic Alliance that had arrived at Galantos to restore communications. The Fia had been convinced that the Yuuzhan Vong would leave them alone, but the alien invaders were not about to leave an armed force active on their rear flanks. The Yuuzhan Vong attacked, and only the timely intervention of Leia Organa Solo and her family managed to alert the Fia to their danger. Syrtik, seeing that the Galactic Alliance's forces were outnumbered, provided the assistance of his own squadron, knowing that he might be courtmartialed for his actions. In the end, the Yuuzhan Vong were driven off, and the Fia managed to turn their disloyalty into feigned miscommunication. Captain Syrtik was regarded as a hero by the Fia population, which prevented any form of discipline, lest the people become outraged at the government. (FH1)

Syrule
This was an alias used by Leia Organa Solo, some five years after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, to infiltrate the Colony and gain their confidence, during his search for Jaina Solo and Zekk. Leia and husband, Han, posed as traveling weapons salebeings, and hoped that they could sell a Magcannon Max to the Lizil hive. Syrule was an associate of the Arkanian Lord Rysto. (DN3)

Syruss System
This star system was under Imperial control, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. An Alliance operation was launched at the space station which patrolled the system, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, in which the Alliance forces managed to defeat the Imperials and liberate the system. (GMR3)

Sysco
This man served as the Captain of the Imperial Army squadrons which were assigned to the Dark Jedi Jerec and his command ship, the Vengeance, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (RAG)

Systech
This ancient weapons manufacturer produced a wide range of energy weapons during the years following the Great Sith War. (KOTOR2)

System, Imberlin
This Gand bounty hunter Lu'daal-ud captured the Mist Laden in this system, after taking its owner as a bounty. (AIR)

System Bombard Force
This was the term used by Imperial Navy commanders to describe any naval Systems Force that was formed from three bombard squadrons and a light squadron, and was missioned to completely eliminate enemy naval forces from a given star system. In some cases, where a force superiority unit was unable to conquer a system, a system bombard force may be augmented with ships from the force superiority unit, although this practice was frowned upon by naval leaders. (ISB)

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

System Five Air Exchanger
This was a high-efficiency air exchange system that was developed for use aboard space stations of moderate to large size, during the early years of the New Order. (DSTR)

System Four Air Exchanger
This was a high-efficiency air exchange system that was developed for use aboard space stations of moderate size, during the early years of the New Order. It was believed that Imperial designers had planned to use System Four exchangers aboard the first Death Star, but Teela Kaarz argued for an upgrade to a System Five to help reduce the levels of carbon monoxide that would be produced by the battle station's crew. (DSTR)

System Patrol Craft
This was a generic term used to describe any fast, powerful, sublight ships that were used by the Imperial Navy as customs inspection ships and search-and-rescue vessels. These vessels were often quite large, and they were often ungainly in appearance, two traits that served to give smugglers and pirates a false sense of security. When necessary, though, a system patrol craft could make swift and aggressive movements to cut off a target vessel. Referred to as SPCs, these ships carried a small command crew, but often had enough space to accommodate a large group of stormtroopers. (ISB, DFR, TIEP)

System Six Air Exchanger
This was one of the most powerful, high-efficiency air exchange systems that were developed for use aboard space stations of large size, during the early years of the New Order. (DSTR)

Systems Army
This was the term used by the Imperial Army to describe a collection of armed forces that were charged with maintaining Imperial control in a star system. In general, a single army could be thought of as a Systems Army, but there were provisions that allowed for up to three armies to form a single Systems Army. As needed, two to four Systems Armies could be allied to form a Sector Army. Unlike the Systems Army of the Old Republic, the Imperial Systems Army was a lower-level unit that consisted of 131,072 troopers and their superior officers. This reduction in forces stemmed from the fact that an Imperial squad was made up of just eight soldiers, instead of the ten to twelve men in a squad. (ISB)

Systems Army
This was one of the primary divisions of the Grand Army of the Republic. There were ten Systems Armies at the height of the Clone Wars, each commanded by a High Jedi General or Jedi Council member, and each consisting of two Sector Armies. At the height of the Clone Wars, there were some 294,912 troopers in each Systems Army. (SWI84)

Systems Army Alpha
This was one of the ten major divisions of the Grand Army of the Republic. It was under the command of Jedi Master Mace Windu during the Clone Wars. (SWI84)

Systems Control
This was the name given to those Imperial officers who served aboard a Star Destroyer, and was in control of the ship's computer systems. (DFR)

Systems Force
This was the term used to describe the Imperial Navy forces that controlled a group of neighboring star systems. Each Systems Force was commanded by a systems admiral, otherwise known as a Commodore, and consisted of up to ninety vessels. In general, a Systems Force was made up from three battle squadrons and a supporting light squadron, although the exact make-up of the force was highly depending on its mission profile. (ISB)

Systems Infiltration Manager
This small computer module was designed by the programmer Malik for the Empire. It was, at heart, a high-powered problem solver, with programming that gave it the ability to get inside a starship's basic programming and take it apart. Eventually the SIM, as it was called, would take complete control of the starship. Disguised as the Systems Integration Manager, the module was allowed onto the Star of Empire to be tested as a navigation system. Malik got the module installed, and began running the programs to evacuate the ship's passengers and crew. However, at the last moment, Malik refused to enter the necessary codes to free the SIM program to take complete control of the ship. The program tortured him by locking him and room and modifying the environment. The SIM program was able to control life support as well as the droid population of the ship, and sent out several bands of maintenance droids to kill off any of the passengers and crew that remained aboard. In the meatime, the SIM program had found another ally in the yougn boy, Zak Arranda. Zak believed that the SIM program was trying to help, and unwittingly entered the necessary codes. SIM came to life and took control of the Star of Empire. The survivors managed to escape from SIM and the ship by merely waiting the program out and taking a big chance when the opportunity came. Hoole managed to reach the Shroud and Dash Rendar recovered the Outrider, and then shot a pair of proton torpedoes into the engines of the Star of Empire. They then sent a message to the Alliance, giving them the location of the ship. SIM, however, managed to download itself into the computer banks of a nearby space station, and waiting until it could insinuate itself into another starship. (GOF10)

Systems Integration Manager
This false cover was supposed to be a device hailed as the next generation in shipboard computers by the Empire. The primary difference between a droid or a navigational computer and the SIM (as it was referred to) was that the SIM could actually decide for itself where to go and how to get there. However, SIM was not what it seemed to be. In fact, the real name for the computer was Systems Infiltration Manager, and it was designed to take control of an enemy ship after being inserted into its computer core. (GOF10)

Syub
This name was common among Sullustan males, and meant "industrious". (GCG)

Syvris
This moon, located on the border between Hutt space and Imperial-controlled space, was subjugated by Imperial forces shortly before the Battle of Hoth. Many of the moon's residents were smugglers, who lived and worked at a shadowport located in its largest crater. They believed that the shadowport's location had been given to the Empire by Basz Maliyu. The shadowport had been run by Rance, but he perished in the attack. (SWJ13)

Syward
This was the chief port city of the planet Lavisar. (IF)

Syychi
This albino Wookiee was a partner of Memcha-Badawzi, working on the planet Neftali as the second-in-command of the Cordel Cove starport. Syychi was a former slave who was born on Vizcarra and never saw the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk. Syychi was used on several Imperial projects, and was constantly moved from remote camps to the Vizcarra prison. During transport back to Vizcarra, Syychi found herself sharing a cell with Memcha. The Twi'lek inspired Syychi to rise above her captors, and the pair incited a slave revolt and overpowered their Imperial captors. Memcha and Syychi then fled to Neftali at the bidding of Memcha's father, Abdi-Badawzi, and took up the manegement of the Cordel Cove operations. (BSS)

Szardra
This was the shortened name of a noted Chiss individual. (UANT)

Szechual
This species of tree was native to the fourth moon of Yavin. (GG2)
