w-165 Planetary Turbolaser
Designed by Kuat Drive Yards, this ground-based turbolaser emplacement was used for planetary defense. This immense weapon had roughly four times the power of the v-150 Planetary Defender ion cannon, and was capable of destroying an Imperial-class Star Destroyer in orbit. The w-165 was a self-contained weapon, with power generation equipment in its base. In order to protect against overloads, the w-165 used forty-eight dispersal tubes to absorb abd radiate excess heat. The firing vector of the w-165 was limited, so a number of these tubrolasers had be used to fully cover the arc of sky they were protecting. In order to maintain and operate the w-165, a dedicated crew of fifty technicians, operators, and gunners was required. Although the w-165 provided all the protection a small government might need, it came at a hefty price: over ten million credits.

Wa, Orun
This Kaminoan was one of the original administrators of the production of the clone troopers for the Grand Army of the Republic, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. It was Orun Wa who asked Jango Fett to determine what to do with the first six troopers decanted from the clone vats. It was these six who were taken under the wing of Kal Skirata, and eventually became the so-called Null-class ARC Troopers. It was Orun Wa who made the decision to destroy the clones, having deemed them to be too aberrant for further training. When Jango hesitated to respond, it was Kal Skirata who stepped in and prevented Orun Wa from doing any harm to the children. Skirata then took it upon himself to train the young clones.

Wa, Steig
This brash, young pilot was assigned to transport Qui-Gon Jinn and Xanatos to Telos. Their mission was nebulous, but it came from Master Yoda and could not be avoided. During the trip, which took them through the dangerous Landor System, Steig continually needled Xanatos about living the sheltered life of a Jedi. He recognized that Xanatos had a failing, and pried at it incessantly. Their ship was attacked by the pirates that patrol the Landor System, and Steig was taken prisoner. While the Jedi managed to make it safely to the escape pods, Steig blamed their attack on Xanatos.

WA-7
This unipod service droid was produced by Go-Corp/Utilitech nearly 100 years before the Clone Wars, for deployment in restaurants and other food service operations. The design of the WA-7 series was heavily influenced by the Mondeo Modernist design movement, which emphasized streamlined contours and whimsical embellishment. The WA-7 moved about on a single-wheeled unipod, an inspiration of fancy that gave the WA-7 its distinct form. The use of curved fins on the cranium and a decorative skirt gave the WA-7 an even more whimsical form, but these design elements were what endeared the WA-7series to its owners and customers. A unique gyro-balance system kept the WA-7 upright, even while it was moving swiftly between tables, customers, and kitchen staff. Advanced communications programming and facial-recognition software allowed the WA-7 to interact with its customers and remember the regular customers. After the Mondeo Modernist movement fizzled out, production on the WA-7 series came to a halt. However, those units that were in production proved to be exceptionally well-built, and remained in service for decades to follow. In addition to waitressing, WA-7 units found use primarily as couriers, although a small number were re-programmed as part of a nuna-ball team. Many other WA-7 units eventually ended up in private collections.

The Wait a Minute was one of the many interdiction ships arrayed in the Taspan System during the Battle of Mindor. In the final stages of the battle, after the star Taspan began to spew out huge flares of radiation and Lord Cronal used his ability to control his troops to launch desparate suicide missions against the Republic's ships, the Wait a Minute was hit with several TIE Interceptors. The first few ships overloaded the ship's shields, forcing Captain Patrell to send the ship into a roll, hoping to bring more weapons to bear against incoming fighters. However, the wave of TIEs was too great, and they struck the Wait a Minute in a hail of twisted metal and exploding drives. The Wait a Minute exploded a short time later, and all hands were lost.

Wake, Russell
This aging man worked as a security officer in the city of Ussa, on Bellassa, during the final years of the Old Republic. When the Empire took control of the planet, Russell was allowed to maintain his job, but he was certain that he was under constant surveillance. This didn't stop him from working in one of the gardens that were once found throughout the city. It was in his garden that Russell first met Ferus Olin for the first time, after Olin had returned to Bellassa as an Imperial lackey.
Russell explained that he had been lucky to be living on Bellassa when the Clone Wars broke out, since life seemed to go on without much change, despite the conflicts that raged across the galaxy. He remained politically neutral during the Clone Wars, unable to take a stance for one side or the other. When the Galactic Empire was formed and Bellassa became an example of what Imperialization was all about, Russell found that he valued his freedom too much to remain neutral. However, with his advancing age, he feared that there was nothing he could do about the situation.
That changed when he met Ferus. Because he still had access to the security systems that controlled access to the Imperial facilities in Ussa, Russell agreed to give Ferus and several members of the Eleven a fifteen-minute window to get in and gather information about the Bellassan Project and the so-called Twilight operation. Unfortunately, Darth Vader had been monitoring Ferus' movements, and realized that Russell had met with the young man earlier. Vader confronted Russell in his garden, then used the Force to choke the life from the old man. With his dying breaths, Russell hoped that his wife and daughter would be able to find safety, and to understand the importance of his sacrifice.

This six-year-old Rodian was one of Anakin Skywalker's childhood friends. Wald lived in Mos Espa with his family, which had moved to Mos Espa only shortly before the Battle of Naboo, and helped Anakin as he built a pod racer. Wald was known as a petty thief and vandal, and grafitti proclaiming Watto to be a "dirty old bird" was attributed to him. Wald always managed to share his illicit earnings with his friends, and his friendship with Anakin was strong. However, when Anakin won the Boonta Eve Classic, Wald lost a great deal of credits on the race. He accused Anakin of cheating, and the two boys fought with their fists until Qui-Gin Jinn broke them up. Qui-Gon used the event to prove to Anakin that, no matter how hard you physically fight someone, you will never change their opinions. Note that certain sources indicate that this was actually a young Greedo the Elder, and not Wald, that Anakin was fighting. In the years following Anakin's departure, Wald remained close friends with Kitster Banai and Anakin's mother, Shmi. He took a job working in Watto's salvage yard, but never matched Anakin's skills in repairing old hardware. Nevertheless, when Watto decided to retire, he turned over the salvage shop's rights to Wald. He renamed the shop Wald's Parts, and continued to do a meager business during the early years of the New Republic. When Kitster stole the Killik Twilight moss-painting, Wald helped him escape from Jergo, then later provided information to Leia Organa Solo on where Kitster had fled with the moss-painting.

This technology was introduced shortly after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, and its steep price tag kept all but the wealthiest of governments from obtaining it. Despite its value to surveillance crews, the PsiCor wallscope did have certain drawbacks, not the least of which was its flash-damping technology, which often led to overly bright display images that could damage the retinas of any being looking through it.

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

This female Mon Calamari, distinguished by her mottled-blue coloration, served as the dockmaster at the green pier on the coast of Bartyn's Landing, on the planet Lamaredd, during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. She was once an independent fisherbeing, plying the oceans of Lamaredd, until a Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies trawler rammed her small vessel and sank it. Since then, Howe harbored no love for BGD or the Outer Rim Oreworks, and wore an artificial leg as a reminder of the accident. She spent most of her downtime at the Tailfin Cantina, boasting to any being who will listen that she'd do something to Guther Bartyn's Tria Blue, if not for her bum leg.

Wampa Ice Creature
Known as the legendary white-furred snow monster of Hoth, the wampa ice creature was a four-meter-tall beast with huge paws, long claws, and curled horns atop its head. It had beady, yellow eyes, and was at the top of Hoth's food chain, hunting the native tauntauns for food. The white fur of the wampa allowed it to move across the snow-covered plains in near-perfect camouflage.
Wampas were known to prefer live prey, and often locked their still-living catch in ice until they were hungry. Using its hot breath and saliva, the wampa imbedded its prey in the ceiling of its lair, thereby rendering it helpless to try and escape. Wampas hunted with their sense of smell, finding even the faintest of scents in the windswept cold of Hoth's icy plains.
The wampa was a solitary creature, inhabiting the natural ice caves that were found under the planet's icy crust. Each wampa roamed a wide and exclusive range, and defended it fiercely. The wampa was known to mournfully cry out at night, filling the snow plains with a plaintive song that was used either to attract a mate or arrange plans with their brethen.
Because of their size, strength, and fierce reputation, the wampa was sought out by big-game hunters and thrill-seekers. Many times, though, it was the wampa that survived the hunt. Those hunters that managed to kill a wampa were rewarded with beautiful fur pelts and rare horns and claws.
Due to the limited nature of Hoth's ecosystem, killing wampas was outlawed during the last years of the Old Republic. This did not deter all hunters, but more often than not the wampa managed to survive these encounters.
As a species, wampas were generally considered to be semi-sentient. They bore live young, but carried them in belly-pouches like marsupials. Despite being solitary hunters, wampas were known to care for their mates and mourn their own dead.
There were also several subspecies of wampas that were found throughout the galaxy, although it was unknown whether they were exported from Hoth or arose naturally.

wampa1
This was the handle of one of the many slicers in the Cularin System who discovered the decrypted message posted on the HoloNet by Tiny F, during the early months of the Clone Wars. In his initial postings, wampa1 used simplistic terms and abbreviated spellings to communicate, a trait that earned him the reputation of a twelve-year-old working from his mother's computer. wampa1 was quite cynical about the truth of Tiny F's messages, despite the obvious support and belief of other readers. Because of the often simplistic extrapolations wampa1 put forth, he was often reviled in message threads, as happened when he tried to dig too deeply into the transmission sliced by mstrslcr regarding the Almas Academy. Later, after participating in the discussion of Nightwing's account of the killing of Commander Kulkis, wampa1 appeared to have been kidnapped by an unknown party. The clue was the use of proper grammar and spelling in his final post, which came shortly after a message from Lieutenant G. Bresch of the Cularin Military. Even wampa1's greatest detractor, known simply as alyssaroxu, chose to abandon the newsnets to avoid being arrested.

Wan, Natua
This female Falleen was one of the many Jedi Knights who served the galaxy, during the years that followed the Second Galactic Civil War. Natua was distinguished by the blue beads that she often wove into her long hair. Natua was one of two Jedi Knights, along with Radd Minker, who escorted Han and Leia Solo and their granddaughter, Allana, to the Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition. The Solos had hoped to get Allana to come out her shell, followed the death of her father, Jacen Solo. Although the early time they spent at the event passed without trouble, Natua suddenly experienced a mental shift, and she believed that Allana was not who she said she was. Natua believed that an imposter had been substituted in Allana's place, which led her to the realization that Valin and Jysella Horn had been right in their descriptions of dopplegangers taking the planet of the Jedi Knights. As this form of Force psychosis progressed, Natua attempted to reach the Grand Event Center's main control room, where she could open the cages of the creatures on display. She hoped that the panic that would be created would allow her to destroy the false Allana. Unfortuantely, Natua also believed that everyone in the control room were also imposters, and she knockeded them all violently unconscious in order to gain access to their systems. When she found herself being chased by Jaina Solo, Natua began to use a Forec technique that allowed her to throw her voice, giving Jaina false clues about her actual location. Jaina realized that this was one of many techniques that her brother, Jacen Solo, had learned before he turned to the Dark Side of the Force and became Darth Caedus. Natua was too engaged with Jaina to recognize that Radd Minker was sneaking up on her, and the Brubb was able to knock her unconscious before Natua could do any more harm.
Although reporters were able to document the events that occurred, Jaina was able to return to the Jedi Temple with Natua's inert form, hoping to prevent the Galactic Alliance from taking her prisoner and encasing her in carbonite, as they had done with Valin and Jysella Horn. Under the watchful eyes of Jedi Masters Cilghal and Tekli, Natua was kept in a guarded cell within the Jedi Temple's Asylm Block, where she was cut off from the Force. Like Seff Hellin, Natua exhibited all the signs of withdrawal that were common among drug addicts, prompting the two Masters to come to the conclusion that Natua had become addicted to the Force. Further investigation revealed that Natua and Seff, along with the Horn siblings, had once been kept safe at the Shelter base near the Maw, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong War.

Warlord
This was the only name given to the former leader of the tribes of Kariek, although many of the planet's natives referred to him as the Glorious Majesty. No Lakra or Eickarie had ever seen what the Warlord looked like, as he was always dressed in ornate armor. The Warlord took control of the planet about four years after the Battle of Naboo, establishing his seat of power in the fortress of the ancient Cro-sal-trei tribe. He ruled Kariek through wanton violence, which led many to believe that the Warlord was a member of the Lakra race. However, he maintained a small contingent of support among the Eickarie, despite his aggression toward their race as a whole. When the United Tribes of Kariek was formed many years after the Battle of Endor, the Warlord retreated to his fortress and made every effort to disrupt the efforts of the UTK to bring lasting peace of Kariek. The UTK requested the assistance of the Empire of the Hand in eliminating the Warlord, twenty-two years after the Battle of Endor. Although the stormtroopers of the Imperial 501st Legion had no problem bringing the Warlord down, they were hesitant to eliminate any of the Eickarie he held prisoner. Aurek Company decided to join forces with Su-mil and his Eickarie soldiers, striking a deal to help free a group of Eickarie prisoners in exchange for gaining access to the Warlord's fortress and capturing him alive. Both sides honored their agreement, and they found the Warlord holed up in a chamber deep inside the fortress. Su-mil and his Eickaries raced ahead, swiftly eliminating the Warlord's bodyguards and capturing the Warlord. Su-mil then turned the dictator over to Twister and his stormtroopers. It was later learned that the Warlord was neither an Eickarie nor a Lakra, but his true race was unknown to either the New Republic or the Imperial Remnant.

All his descendents were half-Morellian and half-human, as both of his wives were humans from Coruscant.
After retiring from his role as an Enforcer, Barosa served the Republic Survey Corps as a scout. After serving the Old Republic, Barosa again retired, this time at the age of 118, to OM813, where he set to work on GOSS. Over the next forty years, Barosa devoted his life to getting OM813 ready to house the survivalist facility. Although he trained scouts and mercenaries who went to work for both the Empire and the Alliance, Warren developed a grudge against the Alliance after the graduation of the so-called Twilight Class. Several members of the Twilight Class became prominent figures in the Alliance military, and Warren became especially upset with Major Sisquoc. For reasons known only to Warren, his grudge against Sisquoc was expanded to the Twilight Class graduates, and later the entire Alliance.

These distinctive military automatons were built for Xim the Despot, and used by him to wage war on his enemies during the years before the formation of the Old Republic. They were superbly constructed, with reinforced stress points, heavy-gauge armor, and assorted chemical and energy weapons built into their bodies. Each war-robot stood well over two meters in height. The chest-plate of each war-robot was emblazoned with the insignia of Xim, a death's-head skull with sunbursts in the eye sockets. Over a thousand of them were assigned to the Queen of Ranroon alone, to guard Xim's treasure during its transport to Dellalt. Given the rumors of the loss of the Queen of Ranroon and Xim's defeat in the Third Battle of Vontor, all of Xim's war robots were thought to have been destroyed well before the Old Republic was chartered. When Lanni Troujow discovered the log-recorder from the Queen of Ranroon, a renewed search for the ship began on Dellalt. Hasti Troujow, Alexsandr Badure, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Skynx set out to locate the ship, and it was Skynx who discovered the remains of a war-robot and showed them to Han Solo. The group later discovered the thousand war-robots guarding the Queen of Ranroon, when they infiltrated the Survivors and entered the ship's remains. The war-robots were eventually destroyed when Blue Max and Bollux trapped them on a bridge and collapsed the bridge. Most beings believed that these were all that remained of Xim's ancient army, until the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy. When the Yuuzhan Vong entered Hutt Space and began conquering planets there, their attacks triggered the failsafe mechanisms in several hundred war-robots that had been thought to be simply statues. These war-robots managed to destroy thousands of Yuuzhan Vong warriors on many different planets before they were destroyed.

Warsheld, Weston
This ancient man was the leader of House Calipsa during the height of the New Order. At the age of 108, he was confined to a repulsorchair and had to govern his province with the help of a great number of advisors and representatives. He was known for his shrewd sense of business, and his dealings with other Houses helped Calipsa survive the politcal and economic upheavals during the end of the Old Republic and the Galactic Civil War.

Warthan's Wizards
This secretive group of starship designers and engineers dreamed up some of the Empire's most confidential starship designs, including several with active cloaking technology. They were first used by the Emperor during the Clone Wars, when he contracted them to upgrade a Theta-class T-2c personnel transport to serve as his personal shuttle.
(JE, X3, SWDB)
Warthog
This clone trooper pilot was part of Hunter Squadron, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. During the mission to destroy the InterGalactic Banking Clan's shipyards on the planet Gwori, Warthog made several bets with his gunner, Tracer, about the outcome of the mission. It was Tracer's opinion that the mission would be relatively straightforward, and that Hunter Squadron would emerge victorious and unscathed, but Warthog wasn't so sure. His concerns proved right when the Republic's forces found that the Separatists had stationed several wings of droid starfighters on the planet, and they were forced to adjust their tactics when they discovered that there were too many warships under construction to destroy with a direct assault. Jedi Master Saesee Tiin decided to used their bombs on the support structure for the shpiyards, allowing it to collapse and crush the starships contained within. However, while adjusting to these new tactics, Tracer was hit by enemy fire. Warthog managed to complete the mission, but managed to get himself and Tracer back to the main fleet. Later, during the liberation of Felucia, Warthog served a Jedi Master Plo Koon's wingmate.

Wartime
This was the Gamorrean name for the summer season on the planet Gamorr. It follows the period of slushtime, when winter runoffs make the ground a muddy quagmire. Once the land dried out, however, travel became much easier, and Gamorreans can venture to other villages and begin raiding them.
(SWJ14)
Warto
This green-skinned Boltrunian lived on the planet Aduba-3 during the era of the New Order. A one-time laborer aboard a Corellian freighter, Warto was abandoned by his crew on Aduba-3, and this event gave him a hatred for Corellians and anything to do with them. For many years, he nursed this grudge with a steady intake of nikta. He drank himself into believing that he was dating Azoora when Han Solo and Chewbacca were stranded on the planet shortly after the Battle of Yavin. He jealously attacked Han, who had been talking to Azoora, but Chewbacca quickly thwarted any advantage Warto may have had. Warto eventually joined the Cloud Riders, but was killed in a landslide caused by the Behemoth.
(MC8, MC10, GMR4)
Wartogg
This Gamorrean once worked for Jabba the Hutt, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, before he changed allegiances and decided to go to work for Gardulla the Hutt. This earned him Jabba's wrath, which included a bounty on Wartogg's head for his disloyalty. Jango Fett later claimed this bounty, when he infiltrated Gardulla's fortress in order to confront her about her connections to the Bado Gora.
(BH)
Warton
This man was one of the many descendants of the original settlers of the planet Eol Sha. It was Warton who first greeted Luke Skywalker upon his arrival on the planetoid, some seven years after the Battle of Endor, when he was in search of Gantoris. Warton, along with the rest of the colonist, was later transported to Dantooine. Unfortunately, Warton was the last colonist destroyed by General Kratas as part of his ground assault, during Admiral Daala's attack on Dantooine.
(JS, DA)
Waru
This being was believed to have come from a galaxy in which "anti-Force" was the prevailing fabric of life. In the known galaxy, Waru appeared as a large blob of meat covered in golden scales. Underneath the scales was raw flesh, from which oozed a blood-like substance when exposed. Waru could assume a number of shapes, but preferred a round shape. Waru was brought across the galactic boundaries when Hethrir began torturing prisoners at Crseih Station. The disturbances in the Force caused by all that suffering, combined with the strange warping caused by the crystallizing star near the station, rended the normal Force fabric and drew Waru through. Hethrir quickly realized Waru's importance, and made a deal with it. Hethrir would help return Waru to its own galaxy in return for mastery over the Force. Waru agreed to this deal. Hethrir secretly began sacrificing his prisoners to Waru, until the inhabitants of the station began to catch whisperings of Waru existence. When the Empire collapsed and Hethrir went into hiding, Waru extended his circle of influence to include the station's population, and a religion grew from the "miracles" Waru could perform at the so-called Altar of Waru. These miracles were simply petty games Waru would play, using some of his collected Force energies to heal the weaker individuals while waiting for really strong Force-sensitives to come along. Waru would envelope an individual with his body, gauging the individual's Force sensitivity. Waru would consume those individuals who were strong with the Force, claiming that Waru could heal only those who truly believed in him. Any doubt hindered his abilities to heal. When Xaverri discovered Waru and his connection to Hethrir, she contacted Han Solo and the New Republic, who came to determine the threat. When they intercepted Hethrir trying to build the Empire Reborn on the Station, they acted quickly. Luke, Han, and Leia all tried to destroy Waru, only to realize that Waru's power lay not in the Force, but in anti-Force. Waru sensed Luke's strength in the Force, and tried to consume him in order to return to his own galaxy without any obligation to Hethrir. Luke resisted, with help from Han and Leia, and eventually Hethrir himself was consumed by Waru. The vast Force energies he gained from Hethrir allowed him to return to his own galaxy.

Warv, Bazel "Barv"
This Ramoan male was one of the few members of his species to have enough Force sensitivity to be chosen for training as a Jedi Knight. Note that the preview in Fate of the Jedi: Outcast indicates that Bazel Warv was a Gamorrean. Like a good number of Jedi from his generation, Bazel was among the many trainees who were hidden at Shelter base, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong War. Known as Barv - a nickname given to him by Yaqeel Saav'etu - to his friends, Bazel Warv was one of the many Jedi Knights who were trained by Luke Skywalker, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. Warv was good friends with Valin and Jysella Horn, and was part of The Unit that they formed during their time on Coruscant. Despite his size and fearsome appearance, Bazel was known among his friends to be gentle to everyone he met, and he was a favored companion of Allana Djo Solo. During the weeks that followed Natua Wan's sudden psychosis and the events that occurred when she tried to disrupt the Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition, Bazel spent much of his free time watching over Allana, although he believed she was simply an orphan named Amelia. He also spent time with Yaqeel Saav'etu, someone Bazel had become very close to over the years. Unfortunately, during a walk with Allana in the Temple Court, Yaqeel began exhibiting the same strange symptoms that the Horn siblings had shown, the primary symptom being that Yaqeel had came to believe that the real Bazel had been replaced by a doppleganger.
Bazel, recognizing that something was wrong, drew upon the Force in an attempt to go along with Yaqeel, so that he could steer her into the Jedi Temple and out of the public eye. Unfortunately, this caused Bazel to begin seeing those around him as false replacements, and his own psychosis only deepened when Han and Leia Solo tranquilized Yaqeel in order to keep her from doing anything violent. Before he could act out, however, Han managed to fire some tranquilizer darts into Baxel's face and arms, incapacitating the Ramoan almost immediately. Unfortunately, Bazel's inert body fell onto the limousine of Jagged Fel, attracting reporters before his body could be collected. Han and several apprentices were able to lift Bazel's body with the Force and move it into the Jedi Temple, but the somatoll in the dart began to cause his Ramoan body to go into convulsions. Melari Ruxon took the convulsions as an attempt to escape, and fired another tranquilizer dart into his body, which caused further convulsions. Jedi Master Tekli tried to keep Bazel calm with benzodi, in preparation for moving him and other affected Jedi to a more secure location on Shedu Maad, but Bazel's body eventually overcame the weaker drug. He tried to break out of his holding cell in the FloatVan transport that was carrying him and the others from the Jedi Temple to a spaceport, and was confused when the Jedi around appeared to be friends. The Force psychosis crept back into his mind, and Bazel tried to fight against the imposters, which included a group of Mandalorians who had been hired to prevent the Jedi from getting out of line. When one of the Mandalorians tried to threaten Bazel, he drew upong a little-known Force power and reached through the man's armor and crush his chest. Raynar Thul stepped in to calm Bazel down enough to get him back in his cell. Raynar explained that the only way Bazel could help Yaqeel and the other affected Jedi was to stay with them, rather than cause more trouble. Raynar later explained to the Solos that the ability Bazel had manifested, to reach through materials that were otherwise impenetrable, was a technique that the ancient Killiks had perfected.

This was one of the many Ewoks who helped the Alliance find the Imperial shield generator on the Forest Moon of Endor, just prior to the Battle of Endor. In the novelization of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, this Ewok was different from Wicket.
(E6N)
Wary, Master
This was the alias adopted by Bornan Thul on Borgo Prime, when he first met with Zekk to discuss the search for Tyko Thul. In order to protect against being recognized, Thul wore heavy robes and furs to alter the shape of his body, and employed a small holographic projector to alter the appearance of his face. A voice synthesizer altered his vocals, and a fake, reptilian tail hung from the back of his outfit, to further mask his identity. Before he realized who Master Wary was, Zekk was unsure if he was meeting with a female Wookiee or a Jawa on stilts, let alone another human being. Master Wary hired Zekk to track down Tyko Thul, and to deliver an encoded message to the Bornaryn Trading Company fleet. It was only when Master Wary began talking of the Thul family that Zekk realized his synthesized voice contained a level of concern and urgency that could only be coming from Bornan Thul himself.

Waryl's Fangs
This was the name of the squadron of modified Royal Yvarema scout ships modified by the Yvarema for use as a war fleet. The fleet was developed by Qesya Vth'naar to be well armed and highly skilled. Individual scout ships were equipped with powerful navigational deflectors which allowed them to pass through the Kathol Rift without penalty. The ships were also armed with a quad laser cannon and a tactical fusion missile.

Wasaka
This thirty-meter-long starship, distinguished by its cobbled-together appearance, was owned by the Wookiee Grouaggerl, during the months that followed the Clone Wars. Despite its appearance, however, the Wasaka was quite spaceworthy. It was armed with a pair of front-mounted laser cannons and a pair of turret-mounted quad laser cannons, as well as a pair of front-mounted concussion missile launchers, ensuring that Grouaggerl could defend himself from pirates. The ship was also equipped with specialized shielding systems that protected it from enemy fire. These augmented shields proved beneficial when Grouaggerl agreed to help a group of agents escape from Daimar, after the Galactic Empire blockaded the planet. King Mitar needed to get Alet Komain off the planet, and Grouaggerl offered his ship to help the group escape. The Wasaka was able to break through a hole in the blockade and escape into hyperspace, and Grouaggerl took the ship to Byrsym and then Dantooine in search of Prince Torrin.
(FR)
Wasber
Native to the planet Tenupe, this vicious insect was noted for the poison it used to both capture its prey and defense itself against predators. The poison was known to be one of the most deadly poisons in the galaxy, because its effects were rapid and constant. When the wasber stung its victim, the poison that entered the bloodstream quickly began attacking the very white blood cells that were trying to eliminate it. The poison literally took over the white blood cells, turning their ability to fight disease into a devastatingly simply way to spread it. Within minutes, the co-opted white blood cells were delivering toxins to the victim's vital organs, which swiftly failed under the attack. Shortly afterward, vital systems would fail, and the victim would die knowing that there was no known method to counteract the poison.
Use of wasber poison was strictly regulated by many planetary governments, despite the fact that any poison removed from its container began to lose its potency after a few hours. Alema Rar managed to sneak some onto Coruscant when she tried to kill Jacen Solo, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong.

Wasilsi
This ancient species was once native to the planet Joralla, but eventually died out. Xenoarchaeologists have discovered that the Wasilsi were enemies of the Tikiarri, and that they were much larger and stronger than the Tikiarri. However, for unknown reasons, the Tikiarri survived while the Wasilsi disappeared. Many scientists suggest a plague spread across Joralla, but only affected the Wasilsi. Others claim that the Wasilsi were "seeded" on Joralla as part of an experiment, but their immune systems were unable to counteract the viruses of the jungle.

Wasp Fever
This was the phrase used by the Korunnai to indicate the effects of being bitten or stung by a fever wasp. As the larvae of the wasp grow and begin to feed on the brain cells of a host, the host experienced dementia, then severe seisures and spasms, as if suffering from a head injury. In general, wasp fever only lasted three or four days, which was the incubation period of the larvae. Any Korunnai stung by the fever wasp was generally considered dead on the spot, and their body was burned to prevent the larvae from hatching and causing more damage.

Wass
This young boy was one member of a class of Jedi students who had been expelled from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant for a variety or reasons, during the era of the Clone Wars. These students were transported to a remote planet, where they were allowed to come to terms with their problems while still learning about the Force in a more natural environment. When a group of Separatist battle droids landed on the planet and threatened their school, Wass convinced Zac to call upon a herd of horned grazers to trample the battle droids before they could attack. A second wave of battle droids split the children up, and Wass struggled to get a farm vehicle moving in order to escape. He called upon the Force to help him locate the key to the vehicle, which he used to plow a squad of battle droids into the ground. After surviving this second wave of battle droids, the students were able to board a transport and return to Coruscant, hopefully to rejoin their fellow Jedi students.

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

Wasteland, The
This was the name used by the Skakoans of the Techno Union to describe the massive junkyard that covered a large section of the planet Metalorn, during the final decades of the Old Republic. The Wasteland was set aside to hold the scrap and debris that was left over during the manufacturing process, so that true scrap could be incinerated while useful items were separated and reclaimed for reuse. To the untrained eye, the operations within the Wasteland appeared to be little more than separating junk from garbage. However, to the Techno Union, the reclamation of useful material was an economic necessity.
(CWA5)
Wastes, The
This region of the galaxy was located well beyond the Outer Rim Territories. During the expansion times near the end of the Old Republic, the Wastes became a source of wild rumors and stories. Access to the Wastes was forbidden during the time of Palpatine's New Order, as the Empire used its worlds to test new weapons of all sorts. Thus, many of the systems and sectors were veritable wastelands of little value.

(GG11)
Watch-beast
A vicious creature native to Gamorr, the watch-beast was a large, four-legged beast which was covered with thick fur. Their bodies were quite low to the ground, giving them a low center of gravity. These creatures were named for their alertness and vigilance, as well as their territoriality and loyalty. They guarded their own territory with their keen senses of sight and smell, but rarely left this territory to chase after an intruder. The Gamorreans learned that watch-beasts could be trained as sentries or guardians, if taken from their herds at young ages. These trained watch-beasts remained suspicious of any other being but their master, and had to be trained not to attack every other being they encountered. For all their loyalty and fierce determination, however, watch-beasts were generally dim-witted creatures, and couuld only be trained to obey a small set of commands that were focused on the guarding of their territory.
(IDC, EGP, UA)
WatchCircle
This was the name used to describe the ancient groups of Jedi Knights who were chosen for their ability to foresee the future. In the wake of the Great Sith War, WatchCircles were formed to discern potential threats to the peace and security of the galaxy, so that any conflicts or dangers could be averted before they rose to the level of galactic war. Some WatchCircles were more adept at reading the future than others, so multiple groups were established to help clarify the visions that were witnessed by their members.
(KOR5)
WatchCircle Vodo
Named in honor of Jedi Master Vodo-Siosk Baas, this ancient group of Jedi seers helped to protect the galaxy against unseen threats, in the wake of the Great Sith War. Despite its namesake, WatchCircle Vodo was generally considered to be among the least reliable of the WatchCircles. Despite this perception, it was WatchCircle Vodo that sent out a warning of a growing evil in the galaxy, during the height of the Mandalorian Wars. This new threat had nothing to do with the Sith, but was a much baser evil that seemed to be focused on Lord Arkoh Adasca.

Watchkeeper
This was one of three Bakura-class destroyers deployed by Hortel Ossilege to assist the New Republic in breaking the blockade of the Corellian System. It was one of four ships, along with the Intruder, Sentinel, and Defender, that were built specifically for the defense of the Bakura System, in the wake of the Battle of Bakura. When the Bakuran ships entered the interdiction field, the HIMS systems kept them going. The Watchkeeper, however, sustained large amounts of damage entering the field, and was evacuated. Ossilege then used the ship as a decoy, remotely-controlling it as it appeared to be leading the Bakuran fleet. It was in this position that the Watchkeeper became the first ship destroyed by the Selonian planetary repulsor, as it smashed into the repulsor field and was flattened. Luckily, all hands were rescued after the impact, but the Watchkeeper was abandoned for scrap.

Watchman
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. Watchman was his unit's tech specialist, and much of his equipment had been upgraded beyond that of his teammates. Like his companions Grappler, Cloud, and Shadow, Watchman 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.

Watto
This Toydarian junk dealer operated a large shop on the outskirts of Mos Espa, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. A former member of the Ossiki Confederacy Army on his homeworld of Toydaria, Watto lost a tusk and sustained a leg injury while fighting in the seasonal wars fought by his people. After retiring from active service, Watto traveled to Tatooine to set up his own junk business. A skilled gambler, Watto won the rights to Shmi and Anakin Skywalker in a bet with Gardulla the Hutt. Since that time, he used Anakin to maintain his shop while using Shmi for other duties. While he was Anakin's owner, Watto discovered that the boy was quite skilled at fixing things, and was also a quick study in podracing. Watto used the fact that Anakin was human - a trait not often associated with pod racers - to win money from his rivals in wagers on the races. He met his match when Qui-Gon Jinn arrived in Mos Espa, hoping to replace the hyperdrive on Queen Amidala's ship. Qiu-Gon recognized Anakin's skill as coming from the Force, and helped the boy enter the Bootna Eve race. When Anakin won the race, Qui-Gon not only won the hyperdrive but also Anakin's freedom. Watto never fully recovered from the loss of such a skilled slave, but his heart did soften a little bit. He even began to blame others for his so-called bad luck, knowing that much of his success had been due to Anakin's abilities. Watto began to treat Shmi with more respect, and even splurged once a week to buy them both some nectarot and pallie wine. Several years after Anakin left Tatooine, Watto agreed to sell Shmi to Cliegg Lars, who had obviously fallen in love with the slavewoman. Watto made several excuses and created a number of delays in the transaction, torn between the loss of a slave - albeit an older slave - and his hope that Shmi would be happy with Cliegg. Finally, it was Owen Lars who helped his father trick Watto into selling Shmi in exchange for a Tobal lens. After the deal was made, Watto admitted that he had deactivated Shmi's slave transmitter just months after Anakin was freed, afraid that Shmi would wander aimlessly off in sorrow and blow herself up. Years later, when Anakin returned to Tatooine in search of Shmi, Watto provided Anakin with information on the Lars family's location. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Watto remained on Tatooine to run his junk shop, which existed in Mos Espa for nearly twenty more years.

Wave Works
This gift shop was located within the Fathoms restaurant complex, situated in the Glitter Cay Tower of Wildwater City on Calamari. Its most unique attraction was the "ceiling" of water devised by Jund Voon, its owner. Using specially modified repulsors, a swirling body of water was maintained at the upper reaches of the shop, making it appear as if patrons were shopping underwater. A group of local musicians was hired to play soothing pieces of music, further enhancing the aquatic experience. The Wave Works was known for its wondrous jewelry, created from the shells, gems, and pearls found in Calamari's oceans. Patrons marvel at Voon's skills with the jewelry, but it was really the work of Kei No Kay.

Waverton
This gruff man served as the Chief Purser aboard the Aurorient Express, some six years prior to the Battle of Naboo. As the ship's Chief Purser, Waverton was surprised to find that one of the cargo lots was illegally switched out, to allow a shipment of Fastlach-class defense droids to be brought on board. His investigation revealed that Podlong Foahl had been responsible for loading Saul Moegantz's cargo lot, which had been swapped out in favor of the droids. Waverton followed Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi in their search for Foahl, who had holed up inside the cargo bay. Foahl revealed that he had helped switch the cargoes, but seemed unaware of the real danger that the pressure pirates had placed the Aurorient Expres in. When Foahl threatened to set off a core bomb, Waverton shot him dead. Unfortunately, the Jedi had not yet learned the location of the bomb. It was later discovered that Waverton was in league with a group of pressure pirates, who hoped to disable the Aurorient Express and steal its cargo. He had a repellent signal emitter that allowed him to avoid being shot by the Fastlach-class droids, a fact that the Jedi were able to use to link him to Podlong Foahl and the pirates. Waverton admitted to his part in the plot, and then agreed to help resolve the problem of the core bomb. When all the plots to destroy Rhoden's wealth were revealed, Bouyardy and Waverton decided that they had had enough. They allowed the core bomb hidden inside the ship to explode, as payback for all their troubles.

Wavewalker
This was an Imperial assault vehicle that could glide over the surface of a body of water. These vehicles were created by the World Devastators, whenever the vast machines encountered an aquatic environment. Each wavewalker had two pontoons that were mounted on servomotors. The servomotors allowed the pilot to position the pontoons in the same plane as the central cockpit, allowing the craft to skim the surface and discharge cargo and troops. The servomotors also reacted to the craft's acceleration, lifting the walker off the surface to gain speed. These fourteen-meter-long craft were armed with two medium blaster cannons, two light blaster cannons, and two concussion missile launchers.

Waxer
This bald clone trooper was part of Ghost Company, the small force led by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Commander Cody that was sent to liberate the city of Nabat, on the planet Ryloth, about a year after the start of the Clone Wars. Waxer's buddy, Boil, groused at the fact that their mission had been charged with keeping Nabat intact, preventing them from using heavy ordnance or other destructive weaponry. Waxer remained quiet, not sure how to react. During their sweep of the city, Waxer and Boil discovered a small Twi'lek child named Numa. She seemed scared of their armor, so Waxer removed his helmet to show the girl that he was not a droid. This gave Numa reason to trust the two clones, although she initially refused to follow them. Both Waxer and Boil were surprised when Numa appeared ahead of them, having bypassed their positions by moving through the city. They located her damaged house, and tried to comfort the young girl as best they could. Numa then warned them about the sudden appearance of gutkurrs, and led the clones to safety through a series of tunnels. Waxer later participated in the mission to return to Geonosis, in an attempt to capture Poggle the Lesser.

Way of the Dark
This was another name used by the Sorcerers of Rhand to describe the One Truth of the universe. According to the One Truth, destruction was the only thing that was eternal in the universe, and it was not subject to any law, nor could it be understood by science. When destruction occurred, it left behind an empty, Dark void that would never be filled. Thus, because everything in the universe was doomed to be destroyed, the only thing that could be permanent was the Dark. Any being who wished to have power was therefore bound to follow the Way of the Dark, aligning themselves with its power and working toward the destruction of anything in their path. In this way, a Rhandite could literally shape the future using the Darksight, drawing upon its visions to sort through the possible futures for the destructive steps that will lead to one's goals. However, once a being stopped working toward destruction and began building a base of power for themselves, then they were essentially abandoning the Way of the Dark, and assuring their own destruction. By dedicating oneself to following the Way of the Dark, a being could live almost forever, at least until the final destruction of the universe itself.
(LSSM)
Way of the Force, The
According to many of the leading Jedi Masters of the Old Republic, the Way of the Force was the underlying will or energy that was created by the existence of the Force in the galaxy. To these Jedi, the Force had a way of moving events along a certain path, depending on how a chain of events got started. Once in motion, the Way of the Force was difficult to alter. In order to discern the Way of the Force, a Jedi had to be calm and meditative, and open to the path of least resistance. Ultimately, the end did not justify the means, and any forceful act often led to devastating consequences.
Additionally, it was believed that the Way of the Force was a way to say that the Force took advantage of the way events unfolded in the galaxy to make its intentions known to those beings who could understand it. Thus, living beings were considered servants of the Way of the Force, although the Way was usually different for each individual.

Wayfarer-class Medium Transport
This transport vessel was originally manufactured during the final years of the Old Republic, although production continued well into the era of the New Order. The ship was originally designed by Kuat Systems Engineering with a modular, portside section that could exchanged for a passenger module, a cargo module, or a hangar bay. However, cost overruns and production delays forced KSE to manufacture just the hangar bay. This suited most owners fine, since the hangar could easily double as cargo space. At eighty-two meters in length, the Wayfarer-class transport could carry up to 220 metric tons of cargo, and had room for a crew of ten and up to six passengers. The stock version of the Wayfarer-class transport was armed with a front-mounted laser cannon and a portside quad laser cannon, which could be used to defend the hangar bay. Because the modular section of the ship was unable to accept most standard cargo modules, sales of the Wayfarer were sluggish at best, but the ship's durability and versatility kept it on the market for many decades.

Wayland
A primitive, backwater planet, Wayland was chosen by Emperor Palpatine as a hiding place for his high-technology projects, such as the cloaking device and his Spaarti cylinders. A forested planet not unlike Yavin 4, Wayland's treetop canopy was divided into two unique levels. Its day lasted 23 standard hours, and its year consumed 353 local days. The planet was home to the Psadan and Myneyrsh races, both of which lack any higher technology. It was originally discovered during the Old Republic's second expansion wave, but was lost from the records for many years. The colonists were forced to survive with little or no technology, and unknown to them, no chance of rescue or resupply. These first colonists quickly angered the native Psadan and Myneyrsh races, stealing land for their own use through superior technology. Just before his death, Palpatine placed the mad clone Joruus C'baoth on the planet to guard the technology stored in Mount Tantiss. He ruled there with the cruel sense of justice of a Dark Jedi until Luke Skywalker was called to the planet. In the swirl of events surrounding Grand Admiral Thrawn's death, Mount Tantiss was destroyed and C'baoth killed. In the years that followed, the Noghri were relocated to Wayland, and the city of New Nystao was formed in the shadow of Mount Tantiss. The New Republic discovered that it would be nearly impossible to restore Honoghr, and gave the Noghri a chance to rebuild on Wayland. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Wayland was briefly used as a safe world for New Republic personnel. It was here that Elan was incarcerated, pending her transfer to Coruscant as a prisoner of war. Elan, however, had planned her capture, and provided the Yuuzhan Vong with information on Wayland's location with a villip she had kept hidden. After the Yuuzhan Vong staged a fake rescue attempt, they subjugated the planet Wayland and used it as a breeding ground for amphistaffs and other bio-organic weaponry. Much of the planet's crust and mantle was consumed by Chom-Vrone, huge, worm-like creatures that transformed raw materials into superheated plasma.

Waypoint
This was the name given to the Mandalorian base on the planet Jebble, during the final stages of the Mandalorian Wars. The Mandalorians had driven off Jebble's inhabitants and taken control of the planet for themselves. The Waypoint was a massive fortress that had been carved into a rocky mountain. Within its walls, the Waypoint contained Cassus Fett's headquarters, as well as a full armory known as the War Forge, and a laboratory. It was on Jebble that Fett began amassing an enormous army, gathering recruits and conscripts from conquered worlds to form a massive assault force. Fett's plan was to launch a surprise attack on the planet Alderaan, proving to the Old Republic that the Mandalorians were capable of capturing a Core World. Just prior to the launch of this attack, Pulsipher and the crew of the Mar'eyce arrived at Jebble. Pulsipher was under the control of the Muur Talisman, and began to unleash a modified strain of the Rakghoul Plague on the gathered soldiers.

Wayward Son
This was the name of the YT-1300 freighter that was originally purchased by Kal and Dova Brigger, some forty-eight years before the Battle of Yavin. The siblings had first named the ship Hardwired, but after Dova was executed by Nirama when the siblings reneged on a deal with the crimelord, Kal fled the Corellian System and tried to establish a new life for himself. He renamed the ship to be the Wayward Son, and altered its home port to be the planet Fondor, in an effort to avoid Nirama's notice. Kal then went to work for Iaco Stark, carrying stolen and illegal goods along the Rimma Trade Route until he was killed on Troiken. There was little public record about what happened to the Wayward Son for more than a decade, until it became the property of the Republic Group about three years after the Battle of Naboo.

Waz, Izal
This Arcona, known for his nasty salt addiction and his ability to fire most starship weapons systems, was also a Force-sensitive individual who joined the crew of the Jolly Man during the hunt for a Yuuzhan Vong yammosk. He had been a student at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, until he consumed too much of a nerfloaf made by Kenth Hamner. The salt in the meal was too much for his system, and he was forced to leave the moon in order to maintain his salt habit. He eventually met up with the Jedi Master Eelysa, who helped him focus his energies on recovering from his addiction and growing into a Jedi. It was Izal Waz who developed the technique of using the Force to collect ambient light, creating a "glowball" which hid a starship from the alien invaders as if it was inside a small star. Izal approached Han and Leia Organa Solo on Corellia, shortly before Coruscant fell to the Yuuzan Vong, on orders from Eelysa to get the Jedi off Corellia aboard his ship, the Sureshot. Izal Waz was ultimately one of the handful of Jedi Knights to survive the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, and served as one of the Jedi who flew an X-Wing during the years leading up to the Qoribu Crisis.

We, Taun
This Kaminoan female was Project Coordinator working at the cloning factory in Tipoca City, on Kamino, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. As such, she was specifically trained to act as Prime Minister Lama Su's chief advisor. Among her duties, Taun We served as the Kaminoans' liaison to Jango Fett, the source of their clones. While most of the Kaminoans working on the clone army project regarded the clones as specimens or simply "output," Taun We felt some level of emotional attachment to the younger clones. Taun We had enough understanding of human emotion to provide the clone troopers with mental stability, despite their rapid growth acceleration and genetic manipulation. However, she was naïve in her relationships with offworlders, and readily agreed to introduce Obi-Wan Kenobi to Jango Fett.
Although Kamino was devastated during the Clone Wars, Taun We survived, along with some portion of the genetic material harvested from Jango Fett. Shortly afterward, Taun We and Ko Sai revealed that it was Darth Tyranus - not Master Sifo-Dyas - who paid for the clones. When Boba Fett learned of this, he contracted Taun We to help grow replacement body parts for him, in order to keep his body whole despite the rigors of bounty hunting. Shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Taun We requested that Boba Fett go on one more hunt: to locate and destroy Fenn Shysa, the only surviving member of the attacks on Kamino. Although Fett was surprised to learn of Shysa's ties to the Mandalorians, he carried out Taun We's mission anyway.
Years later, Taun We suddenly fled Kamino, taking her knowledge of human development and agreeing to a position with Arkanian Microtechnologies. She believed that she was safe, until Boba Fett trapped her in her offices on Vohai and demanded to know more about how he could forestall his body's degeneration. Without options, Taun We was forced to turn over the information she carried to the bounty hunter, then told him of Ko Sai's demise at the hands of Kal Skirata. Taun We went on to become the Head of Clone Adjustment for Arkanian Micro, although she managed to maintain contact with Boba Fett over the years.

Weakness of Inferiors, The
This was the name of the second volume of Emperor Palpatine's Dark Side Compendium, which was believed to have been created completely from Palpatine's twisted mind. In the tome, he explained that the source of a Dark Jedi's power was the fear and weakness of inferior beings. He also explained that control over "all inferiors" could be achieved without violence, by preying upon the weak. The philosophy of Palpatine was summed up in the tome's opening chapters by four key tenets. First, all power came from outside the weak, where did not believed in themselves or their ability to wield power. Second, weaker beings lived in a dream world. Once the face of authority was recognized by the weak, they would become governed by it, and would obey its every command. Third, because of the consequences of power, all weaker beings lived in fear, and the simple suggestion of violence would inspire their obedience. Fourth, the inferior beings of the galaxy did not understand the Force, could not connect to the Force, and therefore could not use it. Thus, the application of the Force as a gift of the powerful could inspire awe and obedience in the weak.

Weather Modulation Control Center
This was the name given to the atmospheric monitoring stations which were scattered above the planet Coruscant. These centers were responsible for manipulating the atmospheric conditions in order to bring "normal" weather patterns to the planet. These stations were required, as the planet-covering cityscape prevented natural weather from occurring. WMC Centers were also established to ensure that ionization storms - which were frequently caused by the huge amount of electricity used on the planet - were weakened before they could occur.

Weaver
This term originated on the planet Coruscant, where it came to describe any one-being vehicle that moved about on small repulsorlift engines, and was steered simply by changing one's center of balance to the left or right. The basic weaver was little more than a plate on which the rider stood, with a control yoke connected to the plate by a sturdy column. The control yoke had two twist-grips, one for acceleration and one for braking. The top speed of a weaver was about sixty-five kilometers per hour. In order to protect the rider, a small repulsor field was generated in front of the weaver, to push away debris before it struck the rider.

Web, Robior
This man, a former Guardian from the planet Junction 5, was one of the galaxy's most lethal assassins, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He was known for his ability to take down prominent figures and high-profile targets without getting caught. He appeared on the planet Null, shortly after the Battle of Geonsis, amidst the assassination of Delaluna's leader, Samish Kash. When Count Dooku arrived to meet with the leaders of the Station 88 Spaceport, Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, witnessed Robior meeting with Dooku in a remote location. Their immediate assumption was that Dooku hired Robior to kill Samish Kash, despite Robior's connections to Lorian Nod. This assumption was proven true when it was discovered that Kash had survived, nad the Jedi witnessed Robior meeting with Count Dooku. When the negotiations for control of the Station 88 Spaceport revealed that its founders would remain with the Republic, Dooku tried to eliminate the founders. Robior tried to joint he fight, but Obi-Wan used the Force to push him away. Robior's head hit a rock, and he was knocked unconscious for the remainder of the battle. He was then taken into custody and held for questioning.

Web Bomb
This unusual weapon was developed by a group of bounty hunters during the height of the New Order. Rather than creating a devastating explosion, the web bomb released a chemical spray that was viscous enough to form a kind of web when it was deployed. The ropy chemical web was initially sticky, which served to trap escaping targets. Then, the chemical hardened to a degree, further trapping the target in place.

Webble himself started to go insane, his mind incapable of handling the reality of his situation. As his madness increased, especially after locating the Vassilika, Webble tried to escape from Kalkovak. After stowing away on a ship and ending up on Calamari, Webble was killed when his water speeder was disabled in the middle of ocean. He drowned, but his dying thoughts were captured by the underwater memory banks of the Mon Calamari.

(LF1)
WED-series Droid
This was the name given to the numerous Treadwell droids produced by Cybot Galactica. The basic WED-series was a rolling, many-armed robot that was introduced more than 700 years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War, and was designed to perform virutally any menial task. The nickname Treadwell came from the two treads that the droid used to move about, and there were a number of different sizes that an owner could choose from. Smaller, four-armed models were the standard unit, designed to perform household tasks and small mechanical chores. The 500 and 600 series were built to withstand the pressures of working in an antimatter furnace. The most appealing feature of this series was the variety of manipulator arms that could be installed, as well as the ease with which they could be interchanged. WED Treadwells could be equipped with arc welder, hydrospanners, spot sprayers, foam sealant dispensers, fusioncutters, torque wrenches, and all manner of calibration tools. However, the WED series was fragile at best, and required continual maintenance to remain operating at its optimal abilities. The owners and fans of the WED-series droids claimed that most of these problems could be overcome with routine maintenance and a little programming skill. To make this point, many fans modified their WED-series droids in any number of ways, creating a subculture of "modders" who created extreme variants on the basic WED series.

Weed-cutter
This devastatingly deadly explosive was created by the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. It was essentially a smart bomb that was launched in a high arc, so that it could avoid any defensive screens. It then targeted a large concentration of clone troopers and came down in their midst. The bomb was equipped with a sensor that detonated the bomb at chest level. When it exploded, the weed-cutter flung a payload of razor-sharp durasteel flechettes in a circular pattern, cutting through armor just as easily as it did through flesh. The resulting damage to the clone troopers was incredible, rendering entire companies into ragged lumps of flesh.

This small-time thief was a native of the planet Draenell's Point when the Empire took control of the Bissillirus System and began constructing its supply depot just outside the system. Plessus knew that would never amount to anything as a con artist, so he became an informant for the Imperials on the planet. Plessus spent his free time at the local bars, like the Farmer's Folly, listening for potentially useful information about the local rebellion. Plessus had a feeling that Drukus Kain was working for the Alliance, but he had no proof.

Weegee
This droid was built by Morgan Katarn, so that he could have a helper around his house on the moon of Sulon. A strange conglomeration of parts, Weegee became like a member of the family. The main body of the droid was a heavy disk that contained a repulsorlift engine. From the central axis of the body, two manipulator arms and a sensory stalk were allowed to rotate, giving Weegee increased dexterity and control. One arm was capable of heavy lifting, while the other was used for fine manipulation. Around the main body, Morgan attached a toolbelt, so that Weegee could always have its tools nearby. Although mute, Weegee could communicate with Morgan via a series of low, chirrupping sounds that were based on the DroidSpeak vocabulary. When plugged into the homestead's central computer, Weegee could operate the entire farm without any intervention. Later, after the death of his wife, Patricia, Morgan programmed Weegee to protect his son Kyle at all costs. When Qu Rahn entrusted his lightsaber to Morgan, Morgan hid the device inside Weegee. He then encoded a journal disk for his son, Kyle, so that he could use the information to locate the lost Valley of the Jedi. Weegee, despite being damaged when Jerec's forces attacked the household, nevertheless retained the lightsaber and provided it to Kyle. After Kyle defeated Jerec and returned to the New Republic, he took Weegee with him, and the droid gladly accepted a position on a naval maintenance team.

Weequay
This race of humanoid aliens, native to the planet Sriluur, was characterized by their weathered skin and the topknot of hair that sprouted from their heads. Each individual Weequay kept their topknow tied in a number of braids, known as seclusion braids. These braids seemed to indicate rank, although many xenosocialogists claimed the number of strands was meant to indicate the number of Sriluur years a Weequay had been away from his homeworld. This theory was later proved true, when it was discovered that Weequay individuals shaved off their topknots when they returned to Sriluur.
Weequay have gnarled, coarse skin that allowed them to blend in with the deserts of their homeworld. Because it was thick and tough, the skin of the Weequay also provided an measuer of protection against the elements.
Weequays communicated with each other through pheromonal discharges, but these exchanges only seemed to work within individual Weequay clans. To other races, they were simply smelly beings.
In general, Weequays do not have individual names, as the concept of individuality was not present in their civilziation. Only a handful of Weequay were known have adopted a name, most often those that had traveled offplanet.
As a people, the Weequay were quiet and dangerously violent by nature, and often found employment as soldiers, guards and mercenaries for the Hutts. They were, for the most part, nomadic, moving across the surface of Sriluur in search of food and water. Some clan units managed to establish settlements on the coastlines, where they erected religious shrines to honor their gods.
The Weequay preferred to remain low on the technological scale, and worshipped the moon which orbits Sriluur and its god, Quay. The name "Weequay" literally meant "follower of Quay." The Weequay appease the god Quay by sacrificing a large beast after battling it. The beast most often sacrificed was the bantha. In order to ensure that they remained in Quay's good graces, each Weequay carried a small sphere that was believed to contain Quay's essence. This sphere was common throughout the galaxy as a random-outcome generator used as a toy, but the Weequay regarded its ability to answer questions as a sign of Quay's existence.
One of the most interesting things about the Weequay was their written language, which was formed from stones that were woven into long braids of hair to create symbols and characters.
The Weequay lived in relative peace with their planetary neighbors, the Houk, for many years, but the racial tensions between the two races have erupted several times into all-out war. The last of these wars was resolved just prior to the Battle of Yavin.

When Salek determined the cause of their forced landing, he set out to find another oscillator. However, he was captured by Terak and tortured, for Terak believed that Salek might know the source of "The Power." Salek died in Terak's dungeon. Their ship was never found, although Salek's father, the noted kloo horn soloist Jimke Weet, spent every last credit he owed trying to locate them.

The three friends agreed to help Obi-Wan Kenobi and Astri Oddo investigate Ren's death and the machinations of Jenna Zan Arbor. After Tino told Obi-Wan and Astri of Captain Yur T'aug's halt to the investigation of Ren's death, Weez, Cholly, and Tup followed the two to Coruscant. They hoped to find the location of Zan Arbor's hidden stash of medicines and vaccines, taking them and selling them for a huge profit. They had planned to steal them all along, but Ren had told them to stay away from Zan Arbor. Weez felt that if the trio could see Ren's belongings, they could locate the stash and obtain the medicines. The trio returned to Simpla-12 with Obi-Wan and Astri, but were unable to help them infiltrate Zan Arbor's lab. The trio tried to redeem themselves by helping Astri locate Ona Nobis, first tailing the bounty hunter on Sorrus and then following her to Belasco. In the end, the boys never saw any fighting, but provided "moral support." They agreed to travel to Coruscant with Astri to work as Didi's Café.

Wehutti and his team of snipers were forced into the bowels of Zehava before they could contact Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and then fired on the Jedi when they believed them to be Daan. Wehutti was recognizable by the fact that he had just one arm, a result of a struggle with the Daan. However, once Wehutti recognized Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan as Jedi, he quickly brought them to his camp and placed them under arrest. The wounded Melida were unable to contain the two Jedi, and they escaped. Wehutti and the Melida had been planning to use the Jedi as hostages, hoping to force the Old Republic to support the Melida in the ongoing civil war. However, both the Daan and the Melida were taken by surprise by The Young, which obtained nearly all of their weapons in a raid on Daan and Melida storehouses. Wehutti was forced into a uneasy alliance with Gueni, the leader of the Daan, in order to avert a full-scale war. However, The Young launched their own war, and eventually defeated the forces of the elders. Wehutti refused to submit to rule by The Young, and holed up in the city of Zehava.

This Imperial General was distinguished his habit of wearing gloss-black scout trooper armor, which was meant to intimidate his enemies and provide him with a measure of self-importance. Weir was stationed in the Corellian System during the year leading up to the Battle of Endor, leading the Sunspot Squadron of fighter pilots. His teams worked from a secret base on Tralus, and Weir himself was fanatically devoted to the Imperial doctrines of Emperor Palpatnine. Thus, when he received word of Palpatine's death at Endor, Weir decided to do what he had to do in order to maintain Imperial control over Corellia. He ordered his troops to retreat, allowing the population of Corellia to assume that the Imperials had left, and life could return to normal. This attracted the attention of the Alliance, which dispatched Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles on a mission to investigate. Weir waited until the Alliance agents had landed on the planet, then set up an ambush for them. Although his initial attack failed to kill any Alliance agents, Weir was able to capture Ten Numb, whom he tortured mercilessly to extract every ounce of information about the Alliance mission. When Ten Numb's comrades discovered his secret base, Weir killed the Sullustan and tried to escape. His TIE Interceptor was shot down by Wedge Antilles, and Weir was badly injured in the crash. Wedge took the General into custody, and Weir was later transported to Sullust for interrogation.

Welda
This was the alias used by Viqi Shesh, during her attempt to eliminate Han and Leia Solo during the evacuation of Coruscant. The Yuuzhan Vong had launched their attack, and Shesh posed as the mother of a young boy named Tarc in order to plead with the Solos to take them away from Coruscant in the Millennium Falcon. Tarc was actually a youth named Dab Hantaq, whose family was evacuated from Coruscant as "payment" for his pretending to be Welda's son. Senator Shesh was wearing an ooglith masquer to hide her true appearance, and had a specialized worm inserted in her throat to alter her voice. Welda claimed to have been an old girlfriend of Ran Kether on Chandrila, and Tarc was their son. Her cover was blown when the combat droid YVH 1-507A discovered the presence of the ooglith masquer. Senator Shesh was forced to run for her life, but not before she killed Adarakh.

Welflet, Noq
This man was a Captain in the Haariden military, some five years after the Battle of Naboo. He was hired by Granta Omega to kill the Jedi Knights - Obi-Wan Kenobi, Soara Antana, and their Padawans, Anakin Skywalker and Darra Thel-Tanis - who were dispatched to Haaridan to rescue a group of Old Republic scientists. However, the Jedi did not openly attack Welflet's forces, and the Captain was forced to realize that the Jedi were not a threat. He explained to Obi-Wan that he had been hired by Omega, and then allowed the Jedi to return to their transport and leave Haaridan. Resigned to the civil war and its ravages, Captain Welflet then brought his troops back to their unit to continue fighting. He managed to make a deal with Granta Omega, exchanging land rights near the Kaachtari volcano for weapons. Welflet was unaware that Kaachtari's eruption would bring an upwelling of titanite to the surface, making the land extremely valuable. Only when he encountered Obi-Wan and Anakin again, at the base of Kaachtari, did he realize his mistake. Unfortunately, Welflet and his men were caught in the initial eruption of the volcano, and were buried under tons of lava.

Welk
This blond-haired man was, in his youth, one of Tamith Kai's most promising students at the Shadow Academy. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Welk and Lomi Plo were captured by the alien invaders and held aboard the Baanu Rass, as part of the group of Force-sensitive individuals used in the creation and breeding of the voxyn. Both Welk and Lomi Plo agreed to help the Jedi infiltrate the worldship and destroy the voxyn, despite the misgivings of Zekk and several other Jedi about their loyalties. However, as the strike force neared the voxyn queen, the Dark Jedi abandoned the Jedi in order to save their own skins. They fled in the ship Tachyon Flier, abandoning Lowbacca but unaware that Raynar Thul was still on board. The young Jedi Knight and his captors didn't escape, and were shot down by Yuuzhan Vong warships. The Tachyon Flier managed to limp into the Unknown Regions, but crashed on an unidentified planet. Welk and Lomi Plo barely survived the crash, and fled the ship before it was discovered by the Yoggoy hive of the Colony. However, the two Dark Jedi did not escape the notice of the Colony, and became Joiners in one of the smaller hives. In stark contrast to the presence of UnuThul, Welk joined with the insectile race and created the Gorog hive. This hive chose to remain hidden, working toward its own evil goals in secret. Welk's hive members captured Chiss warriors, who were then joined to the collective mind. This assimilation of Dark Jedi and Chiss mentalities created the so-called Dark Nest. Welk himself was badly injured in the crash of the Tachyon Flier, and had to graft an insect arm to his body in order to be whole. Working behind the scenes, Welk was able to infiltrate the Taat nest on Jwlio, after Jedi Master Luke Skywalker and several other Masters arrived at Qoribu in search of a group of Jedi Joiners. He was discovered by Saba Sebatyne in a cave beneath the surface, and was forced to fight his way to freedom, returning to the Gorog nest on Kr. There, he found himself facing both Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, in an intense lightsaber battle. Luke was able slip inside Welk's guard and drive his lightsaber into Welk's stomach, before pulling the weapon out through his ribs. Welk died in a bloodcurdling scream, and the Will of the Gorog nest was broken.

Well of the World Brain
This was the name of the deep, yorik-coral cavern that was grown by the Yuuzhan Vong to hold the mature dhuryam which would control the planet Coruscant, which they had renamed Yuuzhan'tar, some twenty-eight years after the Battle of Endor. The Well, formed from the hollowed-out remains of the Galactic Senate Rotunda site, was protected by a series of defenses, the least of which was a cadre' of Yuuzhan Vong warriors protecting the entrance. In essence, the Well of the World Brain was a huge skull, shaped to protect and contain the World Brain.
The foremost defensive mechanism protecting the Well was an intricate hedge-maze, grown from heavy trees which produced thorns up to a half-meter in length. The thorns produced a deadly neurotoxin, and the tunnels which were formed by the branches were almost impervious to blaster fire and explosives. Each passage in the maze was twenty meters high and thirty meters wide, and around almost every corner was a place where Yuuzhan Vong warriors could ambush unsuspecting intruders. The trees which formed the maze completely enclosed the space, so the pattern of the maze was impossible to discern from above.
Only the Master Shaper, Ch'Gang Hool, and the Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, were permitted access to the Well without an escort. However, Jacen Solo managed to reach the Well with Ganner Rhysode, on the pretense that he needed to commune with the World Brain in order to ensure Ganner's sacrifice would be accepted by the True Gods. Ganner gave his life protecting Jacen, who used the little time he had alone with the World Brain to strike a deal with it.
Hidden within the Well was a coralcraft designed for Nom Anor, who had bribed a minor Shaper to create it and hide in in the Well. This provided Nom Anor wth an escape vehicle, should he ever have to flee Coruscant in a hurry.
In the years following the Swarm War, Jacen returned to the Well of the World Brain, this time to use it as a hiding place for his new Master, Lumiya. The incredible presence of the World Brain helped block out Lumiya's own presence, and it helped them both keep tabs on various beings who were living on Coruscant. This gave Jacen a distinct advantage as the leader of the Galactic Alliance Guard.

Wellspring
This natural spring, located in the equatorial region of the moon of Lamus, was the source of all water on the moon. Its importance to all life on Lamus was discovered by the early generations of the A'Mar, who held a sort of religious awe for the location. Visitors to Lamus were allowed to visit the site, but were not allowed to actually touch the spring. The history of the A'Mar indicates that the first humans to visit the Wellspring were reluctant to drink from it. This first visit coincided with the thirty-year occurance of Lamus' sunless day, an event that caused fear among these early A'Mar. However, as the ring of fire in the sky began to set, the A'Mar gave into their thirst and drank from the Wellspring. They were instantly revitalized, and shortly afterward the sun rose in the morning sky. The A'Mar understood something of the celestial mechanics behind this series of events, but hung onto their initial fear. This led to the creation of The Vigil.

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

Wend
This young man, along with his father, Bordon, and older brother, Tallo, were the only members of their family to survive the Battle of Ruusan, some 1,000 years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. Wend, Tallo, and Bordon were rescued by the surviving members of the Army of Light, and were taken aboard the warship Fairwind to protect them from the effects of the thought bomb that was detonated by the Sith. When Bordon volunteered to work on a recovery team with Irtanna, Wend and Tallo went with him, hoping to find survivors on the blasted landscape of their homeworld.
After they recovered the girl named Rain from the planet's surface, Wend tried to befriend her, but the girl seemed aloof and distant. Thus, he was surprised when Rain suddenly appeared in the cockpit of the shuttle Star-Wave, carrying a blaster in her hand. Rain then claimed that her name was Zannah, and that she wanted to be transported to Onderon. Irtanna laid in the new course, then tried to calm the girl down. Zannah shot dead, and Wend feared for his life. When he shouted that she was just a child, she shot him too, claiming that she was now a Sith.

Wennen, Besany
This strikingly beautiful woman worked for the Republic Treasury during the height of the Clone Wars. Her primary role was as a forensic auditor, searchign through financial documentation to identify illicit or illegal transactions. She was later assigned as a liaison to the Grand Army of the Republic's logistic office, where she served as a supervisor to the clone troopers and data technicians who monitored the troops deployed across the galaxy. Unlike other members of the logistics office, Besany seemed to care about the clone troopers who worked for her as if they were regular people, especially Corr. This attitude stemmed from Wennen's general dislike for the entire situation surrounding the Clone Wars, including her frustration with the Republic itself.
During her tenure with logistics, Wennen grew suspicious of Vinna Jiss, and began tailing the woman. This nearly got her killed, as Wennen found herself in the midst of the black-ops mission devised by Kal Skirata. When she realized that Skirata and his clones were working to put an end to the war and its unnecessary killing, Wennen decided that she could trust Skirata and his clones. She also became one of their most important allies, and she also found herself attracted to the Null-class ARC Trooper known as Ordo. She relayed information on the access codes to the Kaminoan mainframe computers to Kal Skirata, after it was learned that Ko Sai had gone missing, and might possibly have defected to the Separatists. Skirata and his Null-class troopers decided to infiltrate Tipoca City, on Kamino, and used the access codes to search for information that might provide a way to control the aging process of the clone troopers.
Besany returned to Coruscant with the secret of her involvement with the clones, hoping to avoid any further trouble. However, her attraction to Ordo only grew, and she later agreed to help track down a large sum of credits that was supposed to be earmarked for medical coverage and pensions for those troops of the Grand Army of the Republic that survived the Clone Wars. She knew that the Republic Treasury had a three-year budgetary cycle, but she could find no expenses related to the creation of the GAR, nor was there any sort of emergency funding allocated just prior to the Battle of Geonosis. Running with the assumption that the costs associated with forming the GAR were hidden in other places, she searched for huge expenditures that migyht have been silently moved through other channels, but again came up with nothing. She began to wonder how any funding would have been set aside for clone pensions, if the funding for their creation had been so well-hidden.
When she received a call from Kal Skirata requesting help in getting Fi medical attention, Besany agreed to do whatever she could. Unfortunately, she found herself accused of trying to "steal" Fi from the Republic Central Medcenter, since the clone commando was technically a military asset. This gave the medical droids a reason to refuse to treat him, prompting Wennen to draw her blaster and demand that she be allowed to take him. A security was called in, but any fighting was forestalled when Jaller Obrim arrived to get them out. Obrim had also been contacted by Skirata, and quickly allowed Besany to transport Fi to his own home. After Fi was transported to Mandalore to recover, Besany returned to her former career, although she found it hard to simply carry out her tasks without thinking about the clones. She was surprised when Kal Skirata showed up at her door one day carrying a child, the infant son of Etain Tur-Mukan and Darman. She was even more surprised when she agreed to take the child in, so that Etain could visit him when she was off-duty.
However, despite her best efforts, Besany's inside work for Kal Skirata eventually attracted the attention of the Chancellor's office. She found herself being tailed by Abrian Lemmeloth, and was surprised when Ordo arrived on the scene and took Lemmeloth captive. When Lemmeloth refused to reveal anything about his orders, Ordo sliced his comlink to send a false report about Besany's activities before shooting the man in the head, ending his life and preventing any further action against Besany. This execution was followed by Ordo asking her to marry him, and Besany only hesitated a moment before reciting the traditional Mandalorian wedding vows with him. In the months that followed, Besany kept a low profile, but continued to work toward uncovering the truth behind the apparent secret build-up of new clone troops. She contacted her friend and co-worker, Jilka Zan Zentis, who spoke of a growing hope that the war might be ending soon because of its huge cost to the Republic. Besany had to hold her tongue, in order to keep secret the fact that she knew more about what the Republic was doing than Jilka did. This need for secrecy turned into a scary moment for Besany when Jilka was implicated in a security breach and taken away for interrogation. Besany knew that the breach was her fault, but could do nothing to help Jilka without exposing her own role - and that of Skirata and his clone commandos - in the breach. She hated the fact that Jilka had become the kind of collateral damage that Ordo often spoke about. Her dislike of the situation only increased when she learned that Jilka's capture had been arranged by the Gurlanin spy known as Valaqil, who hoped that it would buy Besany and Ordo enough time to escape from Coruscant before they themselves were captured.

Wennis
This was the name of Rokur Gepta's personal starship, a decommissioned Imperial cruiser that had been built nearly a century before the Galactic Civil War. It was a trowel-shaped craft, painted in a matte black finish and bristling with weaponry and shielding. Although ostensibly part of the Imperial Navy, the Wennis lacked any markings that denoted ties to the Empire. Her crew wore the standard uniforms of the Imperial Navy, but lacked any insignia or indications of rank or unit. Most of the crew resented this, but kept silent out of sheer loyalty to the Empire. Gepta had built a small chamber near the ship's drive tubes. The chamber could only be accessed from outside the side, via a four-centimeter-wide access port, and a small auxilliary craft had to negotiate the ship's jetwash in order to land there. The chamber was windowless, with two-meter-thick walls to keep Gepta's destructive lifeform contained inside. In order to enter the chamber, Gepta had to revert to his normal slug-like shape in order to enter it. Contained within the chamber was the deadly lifeform that Gepta had used to destroy the planet Tund. The Wennis destroyed a small group of Oswaft during the fight for the ThonBoka, when it ejected a miniscule sample of Gepta's bio-weapon into the mouth of the ThonBoka. However, another such attack never occurred, as the Wennis was destroyed when Klyn Shanga forced Osuno Whett's small ship to collide with the cruiser. Whett's ship ripped the Wennis apart at the middle, and the cruiser exploded.

Weogar
This was one of the two Bith cities involved in the conflict that left the planet Clak'Dor VII an ecological wasteland, several generations before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. The strife was the result of a dispute over patent rights to a new stardrive, thought to be owned by Nozho and Weogar. Nozho investigators blackmailed the neutral arbitrator in order to sway his decision, while Weogar's mayor refused to honor the falsified decision. Both cities began producing the stardrive, and the increased trade competition led to the first Bith war in a million years. Nozho struck first, launching a chemical attack that wiped out most of Weogar's population. Weogar's retailiation was a biological weapon that mutated the genetic structure of any life form it contacted, leaving Nozho a desolate land filled with genetic monsters. The survivors were forced to build hermetically-sealed cities in order to survive the devastation. Because of the fact that it survived, Weogar became the ostensible capital of Clak'Dor VII.

After Presider Sakins looted the planetary treasury and fled the planet, Werl struggled with Senator Addath Gadan in an effort to restore stability to the planet. Where the Senator favored appeasing the Yuuzhan Vong, Admiral Werl wanted to bring military force to bear against the alien invaders. Admiral Werl agreed to help Leia Organa Solo by providing submersible vehicles which could be used against the alien invaders, in exchange for Solo's help in winning the election. Both parties feared that Senator Gadan's stance on appeasing the Yuuzhan Vong would simply hand Vannix over to the aliens as a new operational base. With a clever bit of manipulation and the help of Fasald Ghem, Leia managed to doom Senator Gadan's career, clearing the way for Admiral Werl to be elected Presider.

This self-important Imperial officer served the Navy as a Captain during the Galactic Civil War. Captain Wermis was in command of the Star Destroyer Devastator when it captured Princess Leia Organa and her consular ship, the Tantive IV, just prior to the Battle of Yavin. When Darth Vader returned to the Emperor's side, Captain Wermis was assigned to the first task force assembled to track down the heroes who destroyed the first Death Star. Wermis hated being subordinate to Vader, and often spoke condescendingly to the Dark Lord of the Sith. Vader, recognizing the need to locate the Alliance quickly, tolerated Wermis' jibes long enough to reach The Wheel, where he hoped to capture Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia Organa in one swift action.
Although Skywalker escaped from The Wheel, Wermis didn't suffer a similar fate to other Imperial officers who failed Vader. He was allowed to continue his service to the Dark Lord of the Sith, although Vader relished in putting Wermis into positions where his lack of courage forced him to retreat. It was later discovered that Wermis was a native of the planet Anaxes, and a member of a long line of naval officers from the planet.

An experimental beam projector weapon malfunctioned during a zero-gravity test and exploded. Wermyn opted to go without an artificial implant. When a New Republic assault force arrived at the Maw Installation and began firing, some seven years after the Battle of Endor, Wermyn was placed in command of a group of stormtroopers, and set out to destroy facility by overloading its main reactors. As they made their way to the core asteroid of the facility, Tol Sivron effected his own escape aboard the Death Star prototype, leaving Wermyn and his team without an escape route. He was killed aboard the Death Star prototype when Tol Sivron piloted it into the Maw, in an effort to evade the New Republic assault force that arrived to take control of the Maw Installation. Although they managed to plant a few explosives, Wermyn and his troopers were eventually captured by New Republic soldiers. They surrendered without a struggle, and were taken for questionning.

Wes
This blonde-haired man and his companions were left homeless when their planet was attacked by the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic. The attack was meant to capture the huge treasure trove of Separatist currency and valuables that was being held by the planetary government, which was laundering it and keeping it safe from outside influence. The battle that was waged between clone troopers and battle droids laid waste to large portions of the arable land on their homeworld, forcing Wes and his friends to find a way to get away from the fighting. While Bryn and Rayt believed that they could steal a portion of the treasure from the Republic, Wes wasn't entirely convinced. He went along with the plan anyway, donning scavenged clone trooper armor and trying to pose as a soldier. His worst fears came to be when they reached the Republic base. They were forced to obey the orders of a squad of real clone troopers, and found themselves caught aboard the Republic transport that was leaving the planet.

Wesell, Sone
This Clawdite female was the daughter of the noted bounty hunter, Zam Wesell.
(NEGA)
Wesell, Zam
This Clawdite woman was a noted bounty hunter, during the last decade of the Old Republic. She was also a rival of Jango Fett, as the two were generally considered the best bounty hunters of their generation.
Being a Clawdite, Zam had the ability to alter her shape, a trait which allowed her to infiltrate the inner circle of her targets with great ease. Her decision to become a bounty hunter was labeled as heretical by her fellow Clawdites, although Zam herself considered was "progressive." As part of her training, Zam learned the teachings and techniques of the Mabari, achieving the third level of prowess before setting out on her own. She then trained to become a bounty hunter on the city-world of Denon, while earning a living as a corporate security guard.
Some years before the Clone Wars, Zam and Jango were both employed by Fernooda the Dug, working for General Ashaar Khorda on a mission to recover the Infant of Shaa. They were unaware that they were actually working for General Khorda, and Zam later convinced Jango to reclaim the Infant of Shaa, in an effort to avoid Khorda's utilization of the artifact to destroy Coruscant.
The pair was reunited during Jango's search for Komari Vosa and the Bando Gora cult, when Jango enlisted her help to free Bendix Fust from the Oovo IV prison facility. Zam helped Jango reach Kohlma and defeat Vosa, but was injured in the attempt. Jango rescued her, allowing Zam to receive medical treatment and resume her career.
Despite their differences, Jango and Zam became grudging friends, and Zam even befriended Jango's young son, Boba. She taught the boy about the importance of books and the ability to read, showing that the acquisition of information was key to planning and good results
Just before the Battle of Geonosis, Zam was once again contacted by Jango, who had been hired by the Trade Federation to assassinate Senator Padme' Amidala of Naboo. The pair had planned to kill Senator Amidala when she landed on Coruscant, but the attempt killed her handmaide, Corde', instead. A second attempt, this time at Amidala's apartments, drew in the Jedi Knights, for Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, had been assigned to guard the Senator. Zam herself was nearly captured by the Jedi at the Outlander Club, but Jango refused to have his plans exposed. He killed Zam himself, in order to prevent any possible betrayal on her part. Note that Star Wars: The Complete Visual Dictionary indicates that Zam was from the planet Denon.

He was noted for his understanding of non-human races, which he gathered during his tenure as a Colonel in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Wessel was charged with documenting the outcome of Order 66. His report to Emperor Palpatine indicated that the execution of Order 66 was "an unqualified success," and contained concise reports on the deaths of various members of the Jedi Order. The report was later altered by Sate Pestage, who provided input on the "official" causes of death for each Jedi, as they were to appear on the public record.

Wessel, Redd
The son of Imperial Governor Marcellin Wessel, this Imperial General threw in his lot with Carnor Jax, in the wake of the destruction of Emperor Palpatine's clones on Byss. Jax commanded him to hunt down Kir Kanos at any cost, for the former Royal Imperial Guard held the secrets of Jax's past. He hoped to capture Kanos on Phaeda, after Colonel Shev's men were eliminated singlehandedly by Kanos. He knew of Shev's corrupt ways, and felt that Shev would ignore Jax's orders to stand down and avoid Kanos. In this he was correct, as they discovered when they arrived at Phaeda. Wessel and Jax managed to gather information which had Kanos fleeing to Yinchorr, and Jax ordered Wessel to take the Emperor's Revenge to Yinchorr to capture Kanos. Jax accompanied them, wanting to witness Kanos' destruction first-hand. However, Wessel was overconfident when he was able to capture the Scimitar Assault Bomber stolen by Kanos on Phaeda. He ordered the bomber brought aboard the Emperor's Revenge and opened, so that he could personally bring Kanos into custody. Jax recognized the trick being played on him by Kanos, and fled the Star Destroyer just before Wessel forced open the hatch to the bomber. The APA-5 dorid Kanos had placed in the pilot's seat announced the destruction of the bomber, and the explosion which resulted destroyed the Emperor's Revenge. Wessel and most of his troops were killed in the explosion, as Jax and Blim fled to the surface of Yinchorr in a shuttle.

Formerly Lira Blissex, she was the daughter of Walex Blissex, the man who created the Victory-class Star Destroyers. Although she was part of the group that designed the Venator-clas Star Destroyer, she despised the Old Republic and what it stood for, and chose to support the New Order in the wake of the Clone Wars. To this end, she married Denn Wessex and turned her abilities to the assistance of the Imperial Navy. She took her father's work and her own and expanded upon both, creating the original designs for the Imperator-class Star Destroyer. She later worked with her husband in an attempt to kidnap her father and coerce him to provide her more information about starship design. The attempt failed, and Lira barely escaped the destruction of the Subjugator.

Iella's husband, and one of the Alliance supporters covered up by Gil Bastra. He disappeared after Kirtan Loor nearly caught them on Corellia, and was captured by the Empire during a sweep of suspected Alliance supporters. He was reconditioned, and assigned to the slave labor pool working under Evir Derricote on the Krytos project. It was Diric who captured Aril Nunb on Coruscant, for use as a subject in the testing of the Krytos virus. Diric was eventually freed from captivity, and returned to his wife's side on Coruscant. Despite the fact that he had withered away to a skeletal man with thin, graying hair, Diric's spirit remained keen and vigorous, and his eyes continued to burn with intensity. He became wrapped up in the trial of Tycho Celchu, and spent many hours interviewing the pilot. Diric was convinced that Celchu was innocent, and tried to explain this to Iella, who was working to convict him. When Diric realized that a high-ranking Imperial official had surrendered to Nawara Ven, and wanted to meet with only Ven and Iella, he was convinced that it was Evir Derricote. He suddenly became highly focused on killing the Imperial who had enslaved him, and plotted to meet them as they exitted the turbolift to the courtroom. Diric's ambush succeeded, but with highly unexpected results. His first shot caught Nawara Ven in the hip. His next shots fatally wounded the Imperial, but it was Kirtan Loor, not Derricote. In response to the attack, Iella Wessiri took her own actions and shot down the attacker, not realizing that it was her own husband. Diric died from his wounds, as did Kirtan Loor.

Wheel, The
This wheel-shaped space station was known for its casinos. Located in the Besh Gorgon System of the Mid Rim, this space station was built during the final decades of the Old Republic, and remained active for more than a century. The station's distinctive shape was emphasized by its central axis, which formedt the main fuselage of the station. This axis was an immense cylinder, and at its midpoint there were four main spokes leading out to the circular promenade. Sprouting from the circular section were almost 100 docking piers, allowing any size ship to safely approach and dock with the Wheel. Beyond these luxury docks, thousands of bouys were placed to allow for less expensive docking, with shuttle providing guests with transport to the station.
The outer section of The Wheel, which gave the station its name, was a sprawling city with an untold number of casinos. Deep in the central axis was also a gladiator arena, where all manner of beings were forced to fight to the death for the entertainment and wagering of The Wheel's visitors. During the height of the New Order, The Wheel was situated inside an "immunity sphere," which meant that Imperial ships were not allowed to come to the station and everybody else could enjoy themselves while they were aboard. However, Senator Simon Greyshade, the station's administrator at the time, paid his taxes regularly and often to appease the Empire. He also adhered to the Empire's anti-alien biases, and the station catered to humans and near-humans while assuming alien species were "guilty until proven innocent."
During the years following the Sith-Imperial War and the Massacre at Ossus, The Wheel was owned by Pol Temm. Temm allowed no weapons and no fighting aboard the station, although security was unable to prevent every weapon from being discarded, especially if a weapon was brought onto the station in pieces.

Developed by Gallis-Tech, wheelbikes were popular sport vehicles which found a niche on worlds were repulsorlift engines failed to work properly. The wheelbike was a large wheel, which was propelled by an internal mechanism. The rider sat within the wheel and controlled it with a set of handlebars. Balance was an important part of riding a wheelbike, since the rider's center of gravity was well above the ground. The civilian model of the wheelbike was even harder to control, since the passenger sat behind and above the operator. In the military version, the passenger seat was replaced with a repeating blaster. A series of gyrostabilizers helped keep the wheelbike upright as it moved across varied terrain.

Whett, Osuno
Osuno Whett was a tall, gray-skinned humanoid with a high-pitched voice and an inability to make a decision. He did, however, have very definite goals of conquest and power, and his image of himself was bolstered when he underwent surgery to have bonemer implanted in his legs, arms, shoulders, and spine to increase his size. A native of the Lekua System, Whett was a renowned scholar there, earning the title of Ottdefa there before becoming an Associate Professor of Comparative Sapient Studies. He was assisted by the droid Vuffi Raa, who was sent to Whett by Rokur Gepta. Together they discovered the Renatasian System and its primitive human inhabitants. Whett saw the Renatasians as simple, ignorant people, and he planned to use them to further his own ambitions. He worked for 700 days with Vuffi Raa, who the Renatasians regarded as a deity, keeping a low profile as Vuffi Raa's assistant while arranging an invasion of the system by an Imperial fleet. The Renatasians later blamed Vuffi Raa for the invasion, since the droid seemed to be the controlling things, and Whett fled with the droid before the truth could be told. Whett then found work as a research anthropologist, working for Duttes Mer in the Rafa System before coming to the Oseon System, where he did some research on the Sharu. Little did Whett know that Mer was working with the Tund Sorcerer Rokur Gepta to locate the Mindharp of Sharu and use it to control the system. They used Whett to help them locate all the various Sharu legends, and then sent him to the Oseon System to seek out all possible candidates who fit the description of the Bearer. When Whett encountered Lando Calrissian, he tricked Lando into winning the droid Vuffi Raa, who was being held on Rafa IV as a stand-in for the Emissary of Sharu legend. Whett was further pulled into Gepta's web following Lando's recovery of the Mindharp. Whett was commissioned by Gepta to study the Oswaft, and determine how they could best be used to further Gepta's plans for power. Whett tried to secretly determine what kind of creature Gepta was, but was unable to so, because his role in the destruction of the Renatasian invasion was discovered by Klyn Shanga. Shanga turned his forces loose on Whett's tiny ship, which was connected to Shanga's battleship pinnace by a tractor beam. Shanga used the beam to maneuver Whett's ship into a side-on collision with the Wennis, vaporizing Whett and his ship while destroying the Wennis and her crew.

This New Republic frigate was attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong following their defeat at Obora-skai. The Whip Hand, formerly an Imperial Lancer-class ship that had been captured during the early years of the New Republic, had been supporting the cruiser Far Thunder during its repair. Rather than allowing the Yuuzhan Vong to obtain possession of the Far Thunder, the Whip Hand was ordered to fire on the damaged cruiser, utterly destroying it and much of the coralskipper flight that was attacking it.

Whiphid
Native to Toola, these huge, ivory-furred beasts were distinguished by their wide, flat faces, which were protected by massive facial tusks that extend from their long, low-slung jaws. The average Whiphid stood well over two meters in height, and weighed more that 400 kilograms. A portion of their weight was maintained in the form of a fat layer that, in addition to their thick fur, kept the Whiphid warm in the frigid envirnonment of their homeworld.
As a race, the Whiphids were known as fierce predators that adapted to the frozen environment of their home world, thereby developing a great love of hunting. They were often employed as bounty hunters, hunting guides, and bodyguards throughout the galaxy. However, despite their fearsome appearance, most Whiphids were generally pleasant beings who lived a nomadic existence, following the herds of motmots that were their primary source of food.
As a people, Whiphids lived in clans that were made up of several different families. Each mated pair conceived their offspring during the early part of winter, so that the birth of a child coincided with Toola's briefly warm growing season. Infants were born without tusks, but had enough teeth to consume meat from a young age.

Whiplash
This was the name of the small rebel group that sprang up on Coruscant, in the wake of the formation of the Galactic Empire and the establishment of the New Order. Whiplash was established within a month after Emperor Palpatine assumed control of the galaxy, and quickly established a network of safehouses for those beings who had been deemed enemies of the state. As more and more soldiers and military personnel joined the group, hit-and-run strikes against Imperial positions were launched, in order to disrupt the Imperial takeover of Coruscant and to acquire supplies and additional weapons. Whiplash also established the Underground Mag-Lev to help expatriots and members of the Jedi order escape to safer locations off-planet. In order to locate any surviving members of the Jedi Order, Whiplash created a database that contained any remaining information about the Jedi who were on Coruscant at the time of Order 66. The success of Whiplash on Coruscant led to the formation of resistance cells on other worlds, and the ranks of the organization's members grew as more and more non-human races were persecuted by Emperor Palpatine.

Whipsaw
This Republic Cruiser was one of many consular ships that were refitted for military use during the Clone Wars. About a year after the Battle of Geonosis, the Whipsaw was under the command of General Fyefee Tiis during the defense of the planet Cartao. The Whipsaw managed to disable the droid control ship which had been placed in orbit around the planet, temporarily disarming the battle droids on the ground. Unfortunately for the clone troopers on the ground, the Separatists had a mobile droid control unit ready to deploy in Foulahn City, which brought the battle droids back online almost immediately.

This was a form of weapon used by the Shaper caste of the Yuuzhan Vong. Like most other Shaper implements, the whipsting was a modified lifeform which was grown to serve this one purpose. It was essentially a long cord which was coiled inside a sac in the Shaper's hand. When poked or nudged in the right place, the living cord would eject its mass outward at a target. The end of the cord was tipped with a poisonous spine, which could pierce fleshand deliver a deadly injection. When jerked free, the whipsting recoiled into its sac to replenish its poison supply for its next use.

About this size of the Springhawk, the Whirlwind was the first ship ordered to attack Special Task Force One, after the fifteen-vessel fleet was encountered on its own mission to intercept Outbound Flight. The ship had been refitted to house the pseudograv-field generator that Thrawn had stolen from the Vagaari, which was used to keep the Darkvenge from escaping into hyperspace. Thus, when Thrawn was called back to report to Admiral Ar'alani on his actions, the Whirlwind was assumed to have been lost in the fighting.

Like other town officials, Whisteer was working for Patroller Chief Cav'Saran. However, when LaRone and the other stormtroopers rallied the townspeople to stand up against Cav'Saran, Whisteer finally met his match. When LaRone tried to place them uder arrest, Whisteer tried to pull his blaster on them. Before the weapon cleared its holster, Whisteer was shot dead by Korlo Brightwater.

Whistler
Corran Horn's codename for his R2-D2 astromech droid. Whistler had a near-human personality, and made itself understood by modifying its language of sounds to mimic human mannerisms. This trait kept Whistler on Corran's nerves, but it also kept Corran out of trouble. Not your average astromech, Whistler was programmed by the Corellian Security Force for a number of aptitudes, including creativity, surveillance, lock-picking and forceful entry, and a certain amount of deductive reasoning. Corran also added escape and evasion subroutines. After Corran married Mirax Terrik, Whistler told her that he wanted to pilot the Pulsar Skate when Corran retired from the New Republic. When Rogue Squadron was rescued and held captive by Colonel Vessery and Ysanne Isard, all their astromechs were fitted with restraining bolts. The bold had no effect on Whistler, because the droid had a specialized piece of code installed. Whenever a restraining bolt was attached to it, Whistler's programming detected it and blocked it immediately, rendering the bolt useless. However, the same piece of code intercepted the commands of a caller or owner, and Whistler could simulate the effects of the restraining bolt. This allowed Whistler to reactivate itself after being impounded by the Imperials, and he also removed the bolt from Gate. The two used ventilation ducts and much of Whistler's knowledge of Corran and Mirax's businesses to escape the Imperial facility and return to the Errant Venture, where they told of Rogue Squadron's survival and the existence of Ysanne Isard.

Whistler
This Ortolan merchant was so pre-occupied with food that he fell in love with the idea of owning and operation a restaurant. He was the being who designed and built the Whistler's Whirlpool cafe on the planet Trogan, wanting to have a nature theme to his restaurant.
(LCSB)
Whistler's Whirlpool
This tapcafe was located in the Drinking Cup on Trogan, near the city of Kergara. The Whistler's Whirlpool was designed and built by an Ortolan who was known as Whistler. Once a major tourist attraction during the last decades of the Old Republic, the Whistler's Whirlpool eventually fell on hard times. The circular structure was centered on the Drinking Cup, allowing the tidal geyser to erupt through the center of the cafe. Unfortunately for Whistler's profit margin, the cafe's design and location made the cafe a cold, damp place to try and enjoy a meal. The sound of the geyser's rushing water drowned out the loudest of conversation. Additionally, the tapcafe's charm soon wore off on the local population on Trogan, and they eventually stopped coming. These two things, coupled with the speciallized construction of the facility, made it impossible to maintain, and the Whistler's Whirlpool was eventually abandoned.

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

This was generally considered to be the Fallanassi version of the Force, although the Fallanassi generally did not acknowledge the existence of the Force itself. It involved a different set of abilities to detect and manipulate the natural world, and preached the immersion of an individual into the Current, rather than calling upon its energy for action. Unlike other believers in the Force, the Fallanassi chose to hide their acceptance of the White Current and its powers, and many members dedicated themselves to ensuring that no record of their existence remained. One of the talents of those Fallanassi who maintained a deep connection to the White Current was their ability to create complex illusions, not the least of which was a lifelife doppleganger of themselves to fool others.

This was the nickname used by Alema Rar to describe the man who was leading the new Sith on Korriban, some three years after the end of the Swarm War. It was White Eyes who told Alema that Vergere had been a Sith, and that it had been Vergere and Lumiya who put together the plan to turn Jacen Solo into the next Dark Lord of the Sith. White Eyes was not always the group's leader, however. He explained to Alema Rar that their former leader had been captured by the Yuuzhan Vong, which was how he had come to meet Vergere. In their captivity, Vergere learned of the leader's vision of One Sith, describing the combined power of multiple Sith to confront the new Jedi Order of Luke Skywalker. Vergere was concerned that the former leader's plan would not be ready in time to oppose the Jedi, and worked with Lumiya to get Jacen ready ahead of time.

White Wing
This modified YZ-900 transport was originally outfitted as a smuggling ship, making runs into and out of Hutt space during the height of the New Order. The original owners removed the concussion missile launchers to provide additional power to the laser cannons, and many of its onboard systems were altered to allow the use of a substantial droid crew. The ship could be piloted by a single being, although two additional gunners were needed to handle the weapons. The ship was abandoned shortly before the Battle of Endor, and was later auctioned off to pay for its excessive docking fees.
(GMR2)
White Wings
This was the slang term used to describe the bolt-on set of wings that were produced during the early stages of the Clone Wars to allow clone commandos to launch themselves into a battle. Most clone troopers considered these add-ons the worst piece of kit produced by the Grand Army of the Republic, since they were difficult to use and prone to filure. The name stemmed from the fact that the basic set of wings and their accompanying powr source were bright white in color, which often set them apart from the darker coloration of Katarn armor, all but giving away a commando's position in the air.

She felt that the droid's presence would be less obtrusive to the children she interviewed. The idea was sound, but the implementation still left some children uneasy in the presence of a two-headed woman. Eventually, with the help of Wedge Antilles and his pilots, Hallis reduced Whitecap's components into an ornate hairpiece which allowed the same abilities to record but was much less unusual.

Whitecloak Fighter
This was a form of personal starfighter produced during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was a heavily-modified version of the Kuat Systems Engineering CloakShape fighter, measuring fifteen meters in length and having a cockpit which had been expanded to accommodate a second passenger. These craft were named for the fact that most Jedi who used them had them painted white to symbolize purity. Each of these Jedi craft were armed with a concussion missile launcher and a pair of light laser cannons.

White-eye
This was the name used by the New Republic to describe the naotebe winglings released by Nom Anor inside Settlement Thirty-two on Duro. In their pupal stage, white-eyes were simply sluglike insects. However, after emerging from their coccoons, the white-eyes were flying bugs with a pair of rasp-like pincers for jaws. These creatures had a hunger for synthetic materials like synthplas, and consumed it with gusto. The Vong hoped to destroy several of the refugee domes on Duro by letting loose the white-eyes, thereby herding all the refugees into a single location for easy capture.

White-noise Hardware
This was the generic term used to describe the anti-static systems that were developed for use by the clone commandos of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. White-hoise hardware was designed in response to the fact that ECD grenades, when launched at droid targets, often caused the helmet systems of Katarn-class armor to be rendered inoperable, leaving a clone defenseless and unaware of his surroundings. The White-noise hardware filtered out much of the electrostatic discharge, allowing helmet systems to remain operable after a blast. However, these systems were inefficient, and drew a large percentage of the power available for the helmet systems. Thus, clones were required to activate them only when ECD grenades or other anti-droid weapons were used.

Whrr
This library administration droid served one of Tipoca City's branches, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Whrr was a friend of young Boba Fett, encouraging the youth to read the books his father, Jango Fett, recommended, as well as providing books that might have been of interest to the young boy. When Boba fled Kamino with his father, he inadvertently left behind a holobook created by Jango. This book was to be opened only in the event of Jango's death. Whrr took the book from Boba, believing it to be a library book the boy had returned. When he discovered that the book wasn't a real book, Whrr kept the book safe until Boba returned to Kamino to recover it. This occurred shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, where Jango Fett was killed in battle against Mace Windu. Whrr then claimed that the book was overdue, but overdue to be returned to Boba Fett himself, not the library. Whrr then gave Boba 250 credits to pay for the late fees, as a gesture to help the young orphan make his way in the galaxy after Jango's death.

Whuffa
A long, think, segmented worm found on Dathomir, the whuffa (sometimes spelled wuffa) was hunted and killed for the leather produced from its hide. The rest of the worm was also used for food, and none was wasted. They live on the minerals in the crust of the planet, and have two distinct sexes. Their hydrostatic skeletons allowed them to move about below the ground, and their heads were dominated by a wide mouth. This mouth was filled with heavy teeth, and surrounded by a pair of curving tusks. Shortly before the rise of the Empire, it was disovered that the whuffa had actually been bred by the Kwa, to serve as guardians of their Star Chambers and the Infinite Gates.

Whumparrin
This Wookiee was rescued from an Imperial slave camp by an Alliance Special Forces unit, and decided to join the SpecForces. His first assignments were as fire-support, where his strength allowed him to move the heavy weapons around with relative ease. He survived a number of intense lightfights before being promoted to Sergeant, and then Whumparrin joined Team 19. Initial problems with communications were quickly solved when Whumparrin taught the rest of the team how to speak Wookiee. He became the Team's heavy weapons specialist, and worked with the droid C-7NO on administrative duties.

Wialu
A female Fallanassi, Wialu was the leader of the Lucazec council when the Empire tried to overtake the planet. She negotiated with General Tagge for control of the world, and on the advise of the rest of the council, she rejected his offer of Imperial control. As a result, Tagge created a number of elaborate schemes which discredited the Fallanassi in the eyes of their planetary neighbors. Wialu eventually fled Lucazec to live on J't'p'tan. She and the Fallanassi left hidden glyphs behind, embedded in the White Current, for any Fallanassi who returned to Lucazec searching for them.

Wide-Eyed
This Imperial survey vessel was believed to have intercepted the distress signal that was sent from the Tantive IV, after it was disabled over Tatooine by the Star Destroyer Devastator, just prior to the Battle of Yavin. The crew relayed the text-only message, describing the corvette's supposed "catastrophic depressurization and hull damage as a result of superluminal collision with uncharted asteroidal body," to the Bureau of Ships and Services, and later claimed the wreckage of the consular ship strewn through space. The subsequent communication from the Wide-Eyed reported the death of all eighty-five beings aboard the Tantive IV, including Princess Leia Organa. Some nine years later, New Republic Intelligence teams discovered the old BoSS casefile and learned that the reports from the Wide-Eyed had been falsified to cover up the truth behind the destruction of the Tantive IV.

Widowmaker
This Imperial Frigate was part of the fleet which protected the Imperial Remnant, during the years following the peace treaty signed between the Empire and the New Republic. It was under the command of Arien Yage during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, during which time Captain Yage remained loyal to Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon. After the Battle of Borosk, Captain Yage volunteered her crew and the Widowmaker to escort Luke Skywalker's mission into the Unknown Regions to locate the mysterious planet of Zonama Sekot. Grand Admiral Pellaeon agreed to the proposal, and the Widowmaker accompanied the Jedi into the Unknown Regions. After locating Zonama Sekot in the Klasse Ephemora System, the Widowmaker remained in orbit to protect against any further attacks. After Nom Anor managed to infiltrate the planet and set off an incubator to destroy it, the Widowmaker tried to engage the Red Qurang and stop it from escaping. Before the ship could be caught, Zonama Sekot made the first of many blind jumps into hyperspace to stop the damage caused by Nom Anor. The Widowmaker was drawn into the planet's wake, but was unable to follow the planet. It was lost for many months, and there was no way to track where it had come out of hyperspace. With the Yuuzhan Vong surrender at Coruscant several months later, Sekot decided to return to the Unknown Regions with the Yuuzhan Vogn survivors. Tahiri Veila decided to remain with the planet, and promised Master Skywalker that she would continue the search for the Widowmaker.

Widows of Alderaan Educational Consortium
This group of Alderaanian women, whose husbands were killed when the first Death Star destroyed Alderaan, banded together in an effort to generate credits for galactic education, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. At first their efforts were stifled by the Imperial bureaucracy, but they were able to make small in-roads with other humanitarian organizations, and began to amass a small endowment. From this pool of credits, the widows were able to fund several educational endeavors that were aimed at providing a wider, more accepting vision of the galactic community. The primary goal of these efforts was to eliminate the anti-alien prejudices that were prevalent during the era of the New Order, thereby bringing the galactic community closer together.
One of these efforts was the production of the reference volume A Language Guide to the Galaxy, a phrase book and travel guide that was written by Ebenn Q3 Baobab, and jointly funded by the Widows and the Baobab Merchant Council.

Wild Force Shard
This was the term used by the Jedi Order of the Old Republic to describe any artifact - usually a crystal - which had been imbued with the power of the Force. The shard actually resonated with the Force, sending out ripples of energy that affected the world around it. Because the shard simply existed in the Force, it lacked any affinity to the Light Side or the Dark Side. Instead, it simply altered the effects of the Force in its vicinity. Although any Force-sensitive individual could hold the shard and use it to augment their own powers, such use was frowned upon by the Jedi Order because the shard could amplify either side of the Force, potentially turning a good Jedi down a path of evil.

Wild Karrde
Talon Karrde's smuggling ship, the Wild Karrde at first glance appeared to be a dilapidated Corellian Action VI Transport. It measured the standard 125 meters in length, and was nondescript in coloration, but it was really a highly-modified smuggling ship. It was equipped with combat-rated shields and three turbolasers, a sophisticated sensor package, and a stealth travel system. A Class 1 hyperdrive gave the ship long distance capability, and its sublight drive system could move the ship at speeds of 950 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. It had room for Karrde's crew as well as a kennel for his vornskrs. Shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Karrde installed a sensor shroud system in order to cloak the ship during missions into occupied territories.

Wild Knights
This group of Force-sensitive Barabels, who were trained by Saba Sebatyne, remained separated from the Jedi Knights during the early decades of the New Republic. Their isolation was self-imposed, and based on a fear of the xenophobia of Emperor Palaptine. For a short time, they were trained by the Jedi Knight Eelysa, who was on Barab I on an intelligence-gathering mission. However, when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy and threatened all forms of life, the Wild Knights decided that it was time to end their self-imposed exile and help the Jedi. Saba Sebatyne made the first move, sending three students to join Luke Skywalker at Eclipse. They flew a collection of well-maintained but battle-scarred Y-Wings, but were also well-skilled in the control of an X-Wing. In the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant, the ranks of the Wild Knights were augmented by Danni Quee, whose expertise on the gravitic technology of the Yuuzhan Vong was invaluable in battle.

Wilena
This young woman was the granddaughter of King Mitar, the ruler of the planet Daimar. The daughter of Princess Erra, Wilena was considered the Second Heir to the Lamont Dynasty throne. Her father died when she was still an infant, during the Trade Conflicts, and Wilena grew up as an only child. King Mitar ensured her safety by assigning security agents to watch over her, as he feared to lose "the center of his galaxy", as he sometimes called her. However, Wilena was often alone during her childhood, and sometimes disappeared into her rooms to cry herself to sleep. Princess Wilena was just fifteen when the Empire blockaded her homeworld, shortly after the end of the Clone Wars. Wilena protested her grandfather's plans to get her offworld as soon as possible, but eventually was convinced that her survival was of the utmost concern. She was able to escape aboard the freighter Wasaka with a group of freelance operatives who were working for King Mitar. The group was able to track Prince Torrin from Byrsym to Dantooine, where Wilena was reunited with her uncle. Wilena was unaware that she had a strong connection to the Force, until one of her traveling companions, Jedi Padawan Shen-Ji Collun, sensed it.

Will of the Colony, The
This was the name given to the overriding Will of the entire collection of hives inhabited by the Kind. Although each hive had its own Will, all of these were guided by the Will of the Colony. The Will of the Colony was believed to have been created when Raynar Thul was joined to the Yoggoy hive, after The Crash. As the Unu hive was formed and UnuThul drew on his connection to the Force, he established a telepathic connection to every hive of the Kind, regardless of distance, by tapping into the combined Force potential of the Kind. In this way, the various members of the Unu hive contributed their own hive's consciousness to the Will of the Colony, allowing the Kind to expand beyond their then-current borders without breaking their links to the main hive. It was this expansion of the Colony, controlled by the Will of the Colony, that worried the Chiss enough to attempt to starve entire worlds of the Kind.
(DN1, DN2)
Will of the Force
This was the way the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic described the natural ebb and flow of the Force, movements that no Jedi - nor, for that matter, any Sith - had ever begun to understand.

Will, The
This was the term used to describe the collective hive mind of one of the Colony's hives. Each hive had its own Will, although the quasi-telepathic link between members of the hive only extended a short distance. Any single hive member who traveled away from its nest lost their ability to sense their hive and to communicate with other members. However, as long as there existed a "chain" of individuals, the Will of the hive was not broken. Thus, the collective mind could be extended well beyond the nest as long as the chain was unbroken. For centuries, individual hives moved as the Will of the hive dictated, and the Colony never overextended itself. When Raynar Thul joined to the Yoggoy and created the Unu hive, all this changed. UnuThul's deep connection to the Force seemed to create a Will of the Colony, which brought all the hive Wills together and allowed the Colony to expand almost exponentially. It was this expansion, and its implications, that worried the Chiss.
(DN1)
Will, The

Years later, he served aboard the cruiser Acceptance during Jedi Master Count Dooku's mission to Galidraan. It was during this time that he met Maoi Madakor, and the two became fast friends.
After barely escaping the destruction of the Acceptance near Yinchorr, Williams returned to Coruscant and was hired as a pilot by the Galactic Senate. Just before the Battle of Naboo, he was personally requested by Captain Madakor to pilot the Radiant VII to Naboo, after Supreme Chancellor Valorum ordered them to transport Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to a meeting with Nute Gunray.
Once in orbit around Naboo, they landed the cruiser in the hold of the Federation flagship, and were forced to wait while the Jedi set off to begin their negotiations. However, Captain Madakor and Lieutenant Williams were both killed when the Trade Federation destroyed the Radiant VII, on orders from Darth Sidious himself to eliminate the Jedi.

Willic, Vune
This man, a native of Carida and a graduate of the Imperial Academy once located on the planet, served as a Corporal in the Imperial armed forces during the height of the New Order. His family's ancestors originated on Coruscant, and Vune was one of the few members of his generation to visited the capital of the Empire. During his training, Vune was recognized as an excellent marksman, and he led the Academy's sharpshooting team during his education on Carida. He was eventually chosen to join the Imperial Security Bureau by Ysanne Isard herself, and his first mission was the elimination of an Alliance spy who turned out to he his own grandfather. Vune completed the mission and was commended for his actions. Howeeer, he was later courtmartialed by the Empire for his part in an assassination attempt on Emperor Palpatine. During the Galactic Games, which were being held on Coruscant, Willic arranged to have scan-shielded thermal detonators placed within the Emperor's dais. In order to ensure secrecy, Willic murdered the prior leader, Lieutenant Brot Gorrell, and arranged to be promoted into Gorrell's position. All but one of the explosives was discovered and disarmed, but the single detonator exploded under the Emperor's feet. Palpatine somehow survived the blast, and spotted Willic fleeing the scene. He ordered Willic arrested and held for trial. The trial, in which Willic was prosecuted by Ysanne Isard, resulted in the death penalty for Willic's actions.

Sometime before the Battle of Yavin, Wils was hired by Ranon Djelkh to transport a special cologne, extracted from the scent glands of a tirginni beast, to Tatooine for the Devaronian crimelord Ranon Djelkh. Rather than completing the mission, however, Wils tried to sell the cologne to the highest bidder. After mistakenly giving the cologne to a group of freelance smugglers, Wils was confronted by Oggun Bantha-Horn, who demanded that the cologne be turned over to Djelkh. Wils panicked, and tried to recover the cologne from the smugglers' ship.

He suddenly realized that a single being could greatly alter the events of the galaxy, and also realized that he had been squandering his own life. He spent a year in seclusion before he realized that he could feel the Force, and so he decided to listen to the Force and become a Jedi. He had been training with Master Thon for five years prior to two interrelated events: the arrival of Tott Doneeta to Ambria, and Thon's apprenticeship of Nomi Sunrider. Oss was assigned to Tott's team that included Ulic Qel-Droma and his brother Cay, which went to Onderon. Oss Wilum, along with Crado and a group of about twenty yong Jedi, were seduced by Exar Kun into joining him on Yavin 4. There, Kun destroyed the Sith holocron he stole from Odan-Urr, releasing the Sith magic in the shards that exploded from it. The shards caught the young Jedi, including Oss Wilum, and they were temporarily possessed by ancient Sith spirits. Oss Wilum and Crado were charged with the destruction of Master Thon, on Ambria, and plotted to use the Dark Side beasts of Lake Natth to do the dirty work for them. Thon, with the help of Nomi Sunrider and Sylvar, defeated the beasts and attempted to take the two renegades captive. Crado was able to escape, but Oss Wilum was taken. He eventually was brought out of the Sith spell.

Wilwog
This small, furry creature was domesticated and kept as a pet by many Sullustans, and it eventually became the favored pet of many wealthy beings throughout the galaxy. They tended to shed their coats regularly, so many breeders tried to develop species which maintained their coats. If not properly trained, wilwogs could become skittish and easily frightened.

Win or Die
This was one of the many pro-Imperial propaganda films made by Garik Loran when he was a child. It was rumored that this one film resulted in a five-percent increase in military recruitment. In the film, Loran plays the young son of parents who were supporters of the Old Republic. Loran's character, however, believes strongly in the New Order, and runs away to find the Emperor and escape from his parents. However, his father shoots him in the back, just as he reaches Palpatine. The child dies in the Emperor's arms, begging Palpatine to finish conquering the galaxy and ridding it of evil people like his parents. Loran received a trip to Coruscant to visit the Emperor for the role, but Palpatine was off discussing the Alliance's growing strength, so he met Ysanne Isard instead.

This young Wroonian served as a cabin stewardess aboard the Starlight Cloud during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Only 11 years of age at the time of the Battle of Hoth, Iona stowed away on the luxury liner in hopes of seeing the galaxy. She claimed to have gotten the job because her father knew the captain of the ship, but in reality the captain discovered her in the hold but still allowed her to remain on board. He liked her upbeat attitude about life, and allowed her to stay on as a steward. Iona developed an allegiance to the Alliance during her time aboard the Stalight Cloud, and used her position to ensure that Alliance agents fleeing from capture were safely given passage aboard the ship. She kept her ears open for the presence of bounty hunters and Imperial spies, and relayed important information to the Alliance agents on board.

Wind Raiders
This was the more primitive of the two human factions that evolved in the upper atmosphere of the planet Taloraan. Like their cousins, the Denfrandi, the Wind Raiders were the descendants of a group of castaways that managed to eke out an existence in the gas giant's habitable zones. The split between the two factions led the Denfrandi to adopt more modern technologies when outsiders discovered the Tibanna gas in Taloraan's atmosphere. The Wind Raiders preferred to retain their primitive ways, and earned the name Wind Raiders because they chose to ride fleft-waufs, the huge avian creatures that also inhabited Taloraan's atmosphere. The Denfrandi regarded that Wind Raiders as belligerent savages. Like their ancestors, the Wind Raiders lived inside the body cavities of colossal island beasts.

This Squib, born Macemillian-winduarte', originally a member of the crew of the reclamation cruiser Two-for-One, was the chief bartender aboard the craft before it visited Tatooine. He was left behind when he dawdled in the Mos Eisley Cantina, and was forced to work at odds jobs in order to survive. Over time, he owed money to the Jawa Aguilae. In exchange for payment of the debt, Mace agreed to work as Aguilae's salesman at Jawa Traders. He had traversed a good portion of the galaxy, and had accumulated a wealth of useless knowledge. Shortly after R2-D2 and C-3PO landed on Tatooine, after blasting away from the Tantive IV, Aquilae and Mace were forced to go to work for Jek Nkik and his tribe while trying to swing a deal with them to recover CZ-3. They barely escaped the destruction of Jek's sandcrawler by Imperial forces searching for the droids.
(GG7, SWJ11)
Windu, Mace
A native of the planet Haruun Kal, this dark-skinned Jedi Master was a member of the Jedi Council in the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He was distinguished by his bald pate and stern manner, and chose to resolve conflict with discussion and negotiation over fighting whenever possible. As a child, Mace Windu was orphaned before he could be named, when his parents were killed in the jungle. He was given the name of his ghosh, and was turned over to the Jedi Order when he was just six months old. A delegate of the Jedi had traveled to Haruun Kal to request an individual for more formal training, and Mace was provided to them. Like most Jedi, Windu had a special talent, which was the ability to see beings and events through the Force as if they were crystalline matrices. With this vision, Windu could identify the "shatterpoint" of an individual or situation, and know exactly how to manipulate events to ensure the shatterpoint didn't become trouble. As a member of the Jedi Council, Windu was young for his position, having been appointed to the Council before his thirtieth birthday and just past forty when Qui-Gon Jinn brought Anakin Skywalker before the Jedi Council, claiming that the boy was the Chosen One of Jedi prophecy. He was known as a man who led others by rigorous example, employing definite guidelines and steady discipline to his students, rather than allowing them to suddenly discover something. He was also considered one of the Order's toughest fighters, although a popular story among the padawans told of Windu's singlehandedly capturing a team of Gang Killers without ever igniting his lightsaber. Despite these characteristics, Mace Windu was also one of the quickest Masters to appreciate a good joke, and often sprang a few himself. Master Windu took as his Padawan learner the Chalactan child Depa Billaba, after he rescued her from the space pirates who had killed her parents. Her appointment to the Jedi Council was a proud moment for him, since he considered Depa to be the daughter he could never have. Mace Windu was skeptical that the appearance of young Anakin was another of Qui-Gon's foolish causes. However, a cursory testing of the young boy proved that he was indeed strong with the Force, and Master Windu's ability to see shatterpoints showed him that Anakin was destined for something great. While the Jedi Council initially decided against Anakin's training, citing the fact that he was too old and too full of fear for his mother, Qui-Gon's death on Naboo forced them to re-evaluate Anakin's position. In the end, Windu helped persuade the Council that Anakin should be trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi. This in itself was another surprising decision influenced byt Master Windu, who saw additional lines of converging power when he considered Kenobi and Skywalker together. Over the next ten years, Windu monitored Anakin's progress, always searching for proof of his being the Chosen One. When Count Dooku later emerged as the leader of the Separatist party, Windu felt strongly that the situation could be resolved through negotiation, since Dooku himself was a former Jedi Knight. However, Master Windu's instincts were clouded by the pall of the Dark Side of the Force which had spread over the galaxy, and he was forced to lead a task force to Geonosis to investigate the Separatist army. The strength of the Jedi was no match for the sheer number of droids in the Separatist army, and Windu found himself being attacked by the bounty hunter, Jango Fett. Windu managed to decapitate Fett during the battle, but was quickly overpowered by the droid soldiers. The timely appearance of Master Yoda and the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic saved the Jedi and won the Battle of Geonosis, but Windu and Yoda were worried that deeper, darker events were occurring that they could not foresee. Master Windu also privately believed that he could have prevented the battle on Geonosis and, therefore, the Clone Wars, by simply destroying Count Dooku when he arrived on Geonosis, rather than confronting Jango Fett. Although this would have surely meant he would be killed by Fett, Master Windu felt that Dooku's death would have defeated the Separatsts. Six months after Geonosis, Master Windu was sent to Haruun Kal to recover his former apprentice, Depa Billaba, after she disappeared in the uplands. While on Haruun Kal, Master Windu experienced an intense vision of the future, which was believed to have been a premonition of the Yuuhan Vong invasion of the galaxy some fifty years later. He also learned that he was one of only two surviving members of the Windu ghosh, the other being Kar Vastor. Instead of accepting this relationship, Master Windu refused to admit his family, and refused to call Vastor doshallai. However, he did accept Vastor's assistance in reaching Depa Billaba and in freeing the Korunnai from their subservience to the Balawai and the Separatists. Upon returning to Coruscant, Master Windu was given command of Systems Army Alpha. As the Clone Wars began to wind down after the First Battle of Coruscant, Master Windu became more and more worried about the emergency powers that had been granted to Chancellor Palpatine. He felt that the Dark Side of the Force surrounded Palpatine, but couldn't place his finger on the reasons why. His concern only deepened when he discovered there was a vastly important shatterpoint centered on Palpatine, indicating that the very fate of the Republic might rest on his actions. Further investigation of this shatterpoint revealed linkages to Obi-Wan and Anakin, all of which were connected to the Dark Side of the Force. Then, shortly after the First Battle of Coruscant, Anakin Skywalker revealed to Master Windu that Palpatine was Darth Sidious, the Sith Lord they had been searching for. Master Windu gathered Agen Kolar, Kit Fisto, and Saesee Tiin to his side, and set out to arrest Chancellor Palpatine. However, the Jedi were unprepared for Palpatine's powers, and Master Windu's companions were was quickly killed during the fighting. Master Windu was left to face Palpatine alone, and would have utterly defeated him if young Skywalker hadn't intervened. Windu knew that the only way to end the war was to kill Palpatine - the Senate was too corrupt and probably beholden to the Chancellor for him to receive a fair trial. Skywalker, however, struggled to convince Windu that simply killing was not the Jedi way. Just as Master Windu was to slay Palpatine, Skywalker drew his own lightsaber and cut off Windu's hand. This gave Palpatine the opportunity he needed, and the Sith Lord poured Force lightning into Windu's body. Unable to control himself, Master Windu fell out of a window to the street below, a fall of some twenty stories that killed him upon impact.
Rumors that Mace Windu had somehow survived the Clone Wars began to circulate throughout the Outer Rim, shortly after the formation of the Galactic Empire. Stories of Master Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Anakin Skywalker took root in the farthest reaches of the galaxy, although none of the stories were ever proven to be real.

Winged Xendrite
This flying reptile was native to the planet Xend, where it spent much of its life catching and eating insects. Measuring about 80 centimeters across its wingspan, the winged xendrite had long, thick bodies and short legs, and relied heavily on their wings to move about. It was believed that their legs and tail were used simply to grasp tree branches. They used their sticky tongues to catch insects. They had to natural predators, and their population was maintained by the amount of insect life available. As insect populations dropped, so did xendrite populations, and vice versa. While this ecological balance worked on Xend, other planets were environmentally unprepared to handle the inadvertent xendrite populations which sprang up as the creatures were imported to other worlds.

Winged-star
Native to the planet Caluula, the winged-star was similar in most respects to many other species found across the galaxy, such as the drone-flitter. However, unlike other species, the winged-star had just a single day to attract a mate, then successfully fertilize and lay their eggs. In order to attract a mate, individual winged-stars emerged from their chitinous shells and flew about, displaying a wide range of bioluminescent colors and patterns. What made the winged-star even more unusual was that its larval stage lsted just a week before the larvae wrapped themselves in their durable coccoons and took the next 299 years to incubate and hatch. Thus, a winged-star lived its entire life in one brief day, which became known as the Nocturne of the Winged-Stars. Scientists from across the galaxy tracked the progress of the winged-stars, hoping to catch a glimpse of their lifecycle every 300 years. The display was hopefully encountered at night, allowing the scientists to also witness the bright displays of phosphorescence used to attract mates. During the last stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the winged-stars were supposed to emerge from their shells and perform their dance. However, many of them died before they could mate, and the few that survived were too lethargic to fly. It was later revealed by Wraw that the Galactic Alliance had unleashed a new strain of the Alpha Red virus on Caluula. What was unexpected was the effect the virus had on the winged-stars, since it was only supposed to affect Yuuzhan Vong genetic material.

Winger, Alexandra
This adopted daughter of Imperial Governor Tork Winger was a strong supporter of the underground Alliance cell on Garos IV. A native of the planet Janara III, Alex was the biological daughter of Matt Turhaya. Alex was adopted by Winger when she was just six, after the Empire destroyed her homeworld. She was rescued by the soldier named Chance, who turned her over to Adalric Brandl, who hoped to bring her into the fold of the Dark Jedi because of her sensitivity to the Force. In her youth, she was loved by Tork, in contradiction to the harsh reality of the Empire. She witnessed the evil of the Empire many times, and by the time she was fifteen she had decided that the Alliance needed to unseat Emperor Palpatine. When Jaalib Brandl tried to kill Alex and her father, she called upon the Force - guided by Brandl, however, to draw from the strength of the Dark Side - to save Tork's life. She also explained to her father that she was supporting the resistance on Garos IV, a fact which Tork accepted. After the New Republic liberated Garos IV, Alex and her father remained on the planet ot help the Garosians recover their lives. She quietly rose through the ranks of the resistance on Garos IV and, later, the New Republic, eventually becoming a Captain in the Republic's Navy. Alex briefly thought about joining the Force-sensitive beings who were joining Luke Skywalker on Yavin 4, but she feared that her connection to the Force had been tainted by Brandl's actions. During the early months of her career as a starfighter pilot, Alex was captured by Captain Brandei and the crew of the Judicator, and she was held for interrogation on Janara III. She was rescued by Dair Haslip, but her relief at being freed was tempered by the news that Tork Winger had died just a few months earlier. Her emotions were somewhat buoyed by the news that Dair had decided to join the New Republic. During the escape, Alex took a blaster bolt in the hand, and she lost several fingers because of the injury. Rather than returning directly to the Republic, Alex decided to spend some time on Yavin 4, to see what - if any - training she could acquire with her connection to the Force. After attaining the rank of Captain, Alex was given command of the Webley, and served as part of Garm Bel Iblis' assault force that attacked the Ubiqtorate station at Yaga Minor, in an attempt to obtain a copy of the Caamas Document.

Winger, Tork
Tork was the Assistant Minister of Defense for Garos IV, and was one of the primary focal points in the truce between the Garosians and the Sundars. He had served the Old Republic as a soldier and diplomant, and continued his service to the government when the New Order took control. When the Empire took control of the planet in order to gain access to the hibridium mines, Tork Winger was named Imperial Governor of Garos IV, primarily because the respect and praise he garnered an a native of Garos IV helped ensure a smooth transition. A strong supporter of the New Order, he failed to see that his adopted daughter, Alex, was working for the Alliance underground. Tork was nearly killed when Jaalib Brandl came to Garos IV to take control of the city of Ariana. Brandl had his own plans, and went to Garos IV to kill Winger and his daughter, thereby severing his ties to the Empire. Tork was at the center of an explosion in the Imperial garrison in Ariana, but Alex's connection to the Force, guided by Brandl's own power in the Dark Side, kept Tork alive long enough for a rescue team to reach them. Alex eventually joined the New Republic, an act that hurt Tork deeply, although he came to understand his daughter's motivations were nothing but pure. He remained in place as the Imperial Governor, although the injuries he sustained on Garos IV caused him more pain than his daughter's defection, and Tork soon died.

This primitive form of communication was used by the S'krrr. They rub their vestigial wings together and create a series of tonal inflections which form a crude language. The hums and buzzes of wingsong were formed by manipulating the speed and pressure applied to each wing. The sound of the wingsong was what gives the S'krrr their name. The Corellians who discovered the Ishanna System thought that the insectoids' wingsong made a "s'krrr" sound. The use of wingsong was mainly found in S'krrr poetry, where it lends a beautiful sound to the story being told.

This band of pirates was known to frequent the Hydian Way along the border of the Corporate Sector, during the height of the New Order. They preyed mainly on private citizens, hoping to avoid any Imperial entanglements. However, one of their numbers, a Trandoshan named Traggissk Reosss, mistakenly attacked an Imperial convoy and completely looted it. The Empire retaliated by smashing the Winnard Clan and taking its leader, Cloone into custody. Cloone was later released after providing information on Reosss' actions, and he eventually rebuilt the pirate gang. The Winnard Clan then posted a bounty on Reosss' head, hoping to bring the Trandoshan to account for the results of his actions.

He was considered porcine in appearance, moreso than most members of his race, and just a little too soft to be believable. Many beings considered him nothing more than a sleazy politician, sent to Cularin to quell the population into believing the Cartel was acting in the best interests of the local population.
Velin Wir also had some sensitivity to the Force, and even managed to obtain a working lightsaber to defend himself with. Unknown to Wir, the lightsaber was made available to him by agents of Riboga, who had placed a small transmitter inside the hilt. The transmitter sent a signal to a small thermal detonator which had been secretly placed in Wir's chest, forcing him to keep the lightsaber within ten feet of his body at all times.
Near the end of Wir's tenure on Cularin, the Cartel presented a fully-armed freighter to the Cularin people, as a gesture of their goodwill and assistance in defending the planet. It was discovered that the ship - known as the XP-38 - was fitted with a transmitter that relayed a wealth of data back to an undiscovered source. The people of Cularin viewed this as a breach of trust. Shortly after this discovery, Velin Wir mysteriously passed away, although many contributed his death to the underground resistance that sprang up to fight against the Cartel. His death set off a public relations nightmare for the Cartel, which eventually led to the Cularin government expelling the Cartel from any further operations on the planet.

A race of small, glowing sprites found in the forests of Endor, Wisties were also known as Firefolk, Firesprites, or Flutterglows. They could fly around at incredible speeds, creating a glowing lightshow when they decided to introduce their presence. They were mischeivous by nature, often disrupting campgrounds and hunting parties just for fun. They communicated in a series of high-pitched whistles. As their nicknames implied, Wisties gave off heat as their bodies glowed when they flew about. The luminescence of the Wisties was biochemical, so they created no fire when they came to rest on a solid surface. This heat was fanned by their wings until it produced a flame that surrounded the body. This ability to burst into flame helped many Wisties escape from traps and other entanglements. There was some relationship between the Wisties and the Ewok Candle of Pure Light, for when Cindel Towani produced it in their presence, they flocked to the light and became part of it. However, any investigation into a connection between them was halted when several disreputable dealers of exotic creatures began capturing Wisties and selling them as pets, despite the fact that they were quite sentient.

Wol Cabbashite
This race of long-lived, immobile slugs evolved from a parasitical species of plasma leeches that were native to the planet Wol Cabbash. They had short, round bodies with long tongues used to snare their prey. Despite their relation to the plasma leech, Wol Cabbashites developed an astonishing level of intelligence over their history, a fact which was often overlooked because of their appearance. The body of a Wol Cabbashite was almost entirely stomach, and they had two distinct brains. One brain handled digestion, while the other was used for thought and congition. Their diet was made up of plasma-rich sources, many of which were also high in metallic content. This resulted in a high content of metals in their bloodstream and body tissue, creating a magnetic field in the vicinity of their bodies. This magnetic field served as the primary communication medium for the Wol Cabbashites, who could manipulate the field with their tongues and internal muscles to form concepts and patterns. Because the Wol Cabbashites used magnetic energy to communicate, other races were able to create devices to talk to them. These devices could also be used to convert Wol Cabbashite speech into text, and philosophers discovered a treasure trove of information when prominent members of the species finally copied down their thoughts and memories. Often, however, these texts were almost indecipherable, following the complex thought patterns of ancient individuals. Their body form allowed the Wol Cabbashite to exist in both atmosphere and vacuum, and they could tolerate extremes in temperature. When it came time to reproduce, individuals exchanged genetic material while grooming ech other's tongues. This material was stored in the lining of the stomach, which was later disgorged to become the pupal offspring.

Wolffe managed to reach an escape pod with Plo Koon and several clone troopers. In the months that followed, Commander Wolffe proved to be a quick study in the actions of the Jedi Order, which allowed him to discover a secret message hidden in a transmission that was sent to the Jedi Temple by General Grievous. In the transmission, Grievous gloated over having captured Jedi Master Eeth Koth, showing images of the bound Master. Wolffe saw that Master Koth was using subtle hand signals to provide the Jedi with the knowledge that he was being held near Saleucami.

Wolvkil
This creature was once native to the homeworld of the Vagaari race. It was a feral variant of a particularly dangerous predator which was eventually domesticated by the Vagaari. Individual wolvkils were long, low-bodied creatures with long snouts and heavily-clawed paws. The killing of a wolvkil was an act of considerable bravery among the Vagaari, and the elite of Vagaari society often wore a dead wolvkil body over the shoulders as a sign of their position. Bearsh and his companions revealed that their wolvkil stoles were actually alive, when it became apparent that the remains of Outbound Flight were real. Their wolvkils had been wearing blue-and-gold collars, which seemed to be merely decoration. However, at a meeting with the Managing Council of the Outbound Flight Colony, Bearsh and his fellow Vagaari broke these collars off and allowed their wolvkils to return to life. The vicious predators attacked with wild abandon, shaking off blaster bolts with ease as they killed their victims. Their ability to endure pain stemmed from their decentralized nervous system, as well as the distributed physiology of their internal organs.

Womp Rat
A large rodent native to Tatooine, womp rats resembled large, hopping rats, and were similar in appearance to the scurriers. The average adult measured nearly two meters in length when fully grown. However, where scurriers wer simple nuisances, womp rats were savage, opportunistic scavengers, and often overran garbage dumps and landfills. They reproduced at a prodigious rate, which allowed them to survive in the urban areas of Tatooine despite sanitation efforts to eradicate them. Despite their aggressive nature, womp-rats were communal creatures and very rarely attacked each other. They often hunted in packs, using tactics to surround their prey and cut off any escape. Because of their reputation as scavengers, womp rats were hated by the local moisture farmers and settlers, and were hunted for sport and amusment. A mutant form of womp rat was discovered during the New Order, which had long, wing-like ears. Many scientists linked the mutant womp rat's appearance to the Empire's disposal of toxic wastes near its Tatooine garrisons.

Wookiee
This race of tall, fur-covered bipeds was native to the planet Kashyyyk. Believed to be descended from tree-climbing mammalians, the Wookiees lived in tree-cities located above Kashyyyk's carnivorous flora and fauna.
Standing more than two meters talls, Wookiees were formidable beings who had fur ranging in color from black to brown to white. They had retractable claws that they used for climbing in the trees. The females had six breasts that were used to feed their live-born litters, which were born after about a standard year's gestation. The baby Wookiees were nearly four feet in length at birth, and spent much of their early lives in the nursery rings of the wroshyr trees, where they learned the basic skills of interaction and survival. At the age of twenty or so, a Wookiee returned to live with their parents, once their education was considered complete. Shortly afterward, most Wookiees were required to complete a trial of adulthood, which usually required obtaining the fibers from the bulb of a syren plant. Higher education was purely voluntary, although many Wookiees chose to learn new skills to help their families earn additional income.
As a people, Wookiees were known for their loyalty and honor, as well for their fierce style of fighting. The primary social unit of Wookiee civilization was the family, which was often extended to include members of other families and even non-Woiokiees. This so-called honor family became the center of a Wookiee's existence, and it was not uncommon for individuals to fly into a rage if they felt their honor family was being threatened. As furhter evidence of their loyalty, Wookiees entered into life-debts to any being who stepped in to save their life or the life of a member of their honor family. This life-debt was binding until the death of the Wookiee, and was often passed down from generation to generation.
The Wookiee race was one of the strongest supporters of the Old Republic, a position that helped them fight back against their predatory neighbors, the Trandoshans. Although the Republic officially forbade the Trandoshans from hunting Wookiees, after the Clone Wars the Empire officially designated Wookiees as slave, and actually employed Trandoshans to acquire new specimens. At the height of the New Order, Wookiees were forced to work in labor camps throughout the galaxy, and it was believed that a large contigent of Wookiees was forced to work on the construction of the first Death Star. Because of this slavery, most Wookiees came to hate the presence of humans, even after Kashyyyk was liberated by the military forces of the Alliance. Access to Kashyyyk was severely limited in the wake of the Battle of Endor, allowing the Wookiees to regain their culture and their pride.
The Wookiees supported the New Republic, and later supported the Galactic Alliance, but chose to remain neutral in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong War, in an effort to keep the spacelanes near Kashyyyk open to all. When Jacen Solo assumed control of the Galactic Alliance, some forty years after the Battle of Yavin, the Wookiees broke away from the Galactic Alliance and refused to support his leadership. When the Wookiees harbored Han and Leia Organa Solo, as well as the members of the new Jedi Order, Jacen Solo chose to make the Wookiees an example. He launched a war fleet to Kashyyyk and openly attacked the Wookiees, burning many cities and a large part of the planet's surface, hoping to show the rest of the galaxy what would happen it it opposed his rule. With the help of fleets from The Confederation, the Wookiees were able to drive off Solo's forces, and the Wookiees later joined the Jedi Coalition that was formed in the wake of the Second Battle of Fondor. Note that The Wookiee Storybook infers that Wookiees were not native to Kashyyyk, but came to the planet a long time ago.

Wookiee Gunner
This Vernal-class cargo vessel was used by Jedi Master Djinn Altis and his followers, during the final years of the Old Republic, as the primary vessel in their relief missions. These missions were undertaken for the Galactic Republic, in an attempt to assist the Jedi Order while remaining out of the fighting. During a supply run to Yarille, Master Altis sensed trouble in the Fath System, and diverted the Wookiee Gunner to lend some assistance. The trouble turned out to be a Separatist-backed revolution of the planet's union workers, and Intelligence agent Hallena Devis was caught among the rebels. The warship Leveler responded to the emergency call from Devis, and the Wookiee Gunner met up with the ship just before reaching JanFathal. Master Altis, along with Callista Masana and Geith Eris, agreed to accompany Torrent Company on the rescue mission, while the rest of the Wookiee Gunner's crew continued on their way to Yarille. When the Leveler's presence in the Fath System was discovered by the Separatist destroyer Reaper, the Republic ship was forced to flee into hyperspace. However, its central chrono software was damaged, and the Leveler ended up in the Poressi System. Ash Jarvee and the crew of the Wookiee Gunner sensed the problem, and they rendezvoused with the warship to offer their assistance.

Wookiee Liberation Front
This organization was "founded" on the planet Cularin, during the height of the Clone Wars. Known as WOLF, the organization was led by the Five Masters, and seemed to be made up up of children, each of whom moved about in a flowing, colored cloak. They walked with the help of glow poles, and a gathering of members appeared to be an ethereal meeting of angels. The Five Masters chose to erect an academy on the planet Cularin, negotiating for land and buildings with Barnab Chistor himself. The building, known as the Five Masters Academy, was built from steel and glass, and was a wondrous site to behold. A number of stories were told about its origins, but the real story was actually one of recklessness and stupidity. The gang formed by Meelo and her associates was at the heart of the Wookiee Liberation Front, which was often simply known as WOLF. When one of their members was captured and imprisoned by the Metatheran Cartel, Meelo led her inept comrades in a daring escape, which was bungled almost from the start. In the resulting chaos, Meelo managed to rescue her friend, but the Jawa known as Keth-Keth decided that they needed to cover their escape. Screaming "Free Kashyyyk" as loud as his vocoder would project, Keth-Keth called for people to rally around the Wookiee Liberation Front, in an effort to draw the attention of the local police force away from their escape. Although it was a simple ruse, the Wookiee Liberation Front received a lot of press in the local holonewscasts, and eventually became a legitimate organization that funneled credits and supplies to help the Wookiees of Kashyyyk in their attempt to ousted the Separatist forces that were trying to take control of their homeworld.

Wookiee Recon Droid
This small, repulsor-equipped reconnaissance droid was developed by the Wookiees of Kashyyyk, and found widespread use during the Galactic Civil War. These simplistic droids were essentially remote-controlled drones that could be sent out to scout a location, prior to an attack. In addition to the sensor and communication systems that allowed the droid to identify targets and report its findings, these droids were given a self-destruct mechanism to ensure that they were not captured by enemy forces. More sophisticated versions of the Wookiee recon droid were equipped with powerful transmitters that allowed them to be used as targetting devices for starships in orbit.

A subspecies of the veermok, which was native to the planet Naboo, woolly veermoks inhabited the mountain ranges of the planet's arctic regions. The woolly veermok was more canine in appearance, with a pointed snout and long ears, and always moved about on all-fours. Woolly veermoks were generally regarded as more vicious than their cousins, and Gungan legends proclaim the ferocity of the woolly veermok's attacks. Woolly veermoks lived in caves and caverns, alone or in small family units, and guarded their homes with tenacious attacks. Mating occurred in the springtime, and young cubs were left to fend for themselves once they were a week or so old. During mating, the females ritually clawed the males after being impregnated, to mark the males and ensure that no other female took them as mates. After successful mating occurred, the male was then chased back to their own territory, while the female remained near her cave until it was time to give birth. During the mating period, the native Gungans and the Naboo were careful to stay away from woolly veermok territory, as the females were exceptionally tense, and would lash out and attack at the slightest provocation.

He was essentially the court-appointed defense attorney for any of the low-life criminals arrrested by Imperial forces, and made sure that they all were acquitted without too much hassle. When the Xenovet facility on commenor went into receivership, Wooter was appointed the trustee of the site. He paid for any fees out of his own pocket, hoping to recover any losses upon the sale of the facility. He made a small fortune on the sale, and was eventually contacted by Ysanne Isard's clone. The clone hoped to buy the facility in order to use it as bait for the New Republic and Rogue Squadron. Mirax Terrik and Iella Wessiri traced the operation which led to the death of Urlor Sette to Wooter's firm, and tried to break in and steal evidence. They were nearly captured when they fell for a false set of blueprints to the law offices, and walked into a trap. With the unwanted help of one of Booster Terrik's friends, they managed to escape.

Wooter, Rimki, and Vass, Attorneys at Law
This law agency was based in the capital city of Commenor. Because of the sale of the Xenovet facility by Mem Wooter, the agency became involved in the placement of prisoners from the Lusankya on Liinade III. Ysanne Isard's clone used the facility to house prisoners from the Lusankya, but evidence from the site led the New Republic to the agency. The firm was quite powerful and wealthy, and made most of its money through Mem Wooter's defense of low-life criminals.

Workers' Uprising
This was the term used by historians to describe the revolution that occurred on the planet JanFathal, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Union laborers had become disgruntled with the ruling Regent, who spent huge sums of credits on his own luxury, while keeping the laborers poor. The laborers began carrying out simple rebel missions against the Regent, but these were quickly and brutally subdued by the Regent's secret police force. This only added to the frustration and anger among the working classes, and when Separatist agents landed on the planet, the laborers were quick to accept their assistance in overthrowing the Regent. The Workers' Uprising occurred shortly after the Battle of Teth, and caught the Galactic Republic's forces by surprise. The few Republic agents on the planet were swept up in the uprising, and were unable to prevent the overthrow of the Regent. JanFathal then quickly fell to the Separatists.

Workers, The
This was the underprivileged majority which lived on the planet Apsolon, during the Old Republic. In the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo, the Workers began to rebel against the control exerted on them by the Civilized minority. Through a series of industrial sabotage actions, the Workers began to crippled Apsolon's high-tech industry. Some fifteen years before the Battle of Naboo, the Civilized finally realized that they had to recognize the contributions of the Workers. The Jedi Knights were asked to mediate a planetary election, which resulted in the election of Ewane as the planetary leader. Despite the victory of having a Worker elected to rule the planet, the Workers blamed the Jedi for forcing them to hold neutral trials for war criminals.

Works, The
This was the name given to one of the many industrial sectors found on the planet Coruscant. Hundreds of years before the onset of the Clone Wars, The Works was abandoned by many of Coruscant's largest manufacturers, who found that they could build the same products cheaper on more remote worlds. The Works fell into disrepair, and many of its former inhabitants left to either follow the jobs or obtain newer housing. Over time, The Works became a haven for all manner of criminals, and most Coruscani refused to even go near the area. Fugitives from Nar Shaddaa were known to pass through The Works on a regular basis. The local police force claimed that the number of bodies buried within the warehouses and factories would qualify The Works as a cemetary.
Interestingly, The Works was located to the south and west of the Senate District, and stood in stark contrast to the opulence afforded by the leaders of government. Many Coruscani would have gladly razed the entire area, but there existed little or no recorded information on who actually owned what within its boundaries. It was within The Works that the Jedi Order discovered a secret meeting place used by Darth Sidious and Count Dooku, during the height of the Clone Wars. Sidious had imbued most of The Works with the energy of the dark side of the Force, and it was here that he trained both Darth Maul and Darth Tyranus to be his apprentices. During the height of the New Order, The Works experienced something of a renaissance, for it was here that hundreds of TIE Fighters were produced every day in support of the Imperial war machine.

World Brain
This was the immense, ship-sized brain which was brought by the Yuuzhan Vong into the galaxy to take control of the New Republic. The goal of the World Brain was to allow the Yuuzhan Vong to control every resource they controlled from a central location, allowing for complete domination of the galaxy.
When the Yuuzhan Vong's homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar was dying, genetic samples of the World Brain were taken aboard a specialized seedship for maintenance and care by a cadre of Master Shapers. For millennia, the genetic material was held in stasis until the galaxy was invaded. After choosing the planet Coruscant as the new version of Yuuzhan'tar, Master Shaper Ch'Gang Hool began developing the genetic materials. He carefully grew the cells into the immature dhuryams, in the hopes of obtaining one strong enough to reshape Coruscant. The immature dhuryams had to compete with each other in order to determine which was the strongest and most able to sustain an entire planet. In a ceremony known as tizo'pil Yun'tchilat, the entire clutch of dhuryams was reduced to a single individual, which would then be installed as the World Brain on Coruscant.
However, the captured Jedi Knight, Jacen Solo, was allowed access to the World Brain as it developed, and he managed to develop a relationship with it. They became connected in a way that the Yuuzhan Vong failed to understand. Thus, Jacen was able to convince the World Brain that its makers were not acting in accordance with the will of the Force. In response, the World Brain set off all manner of alterations within the reformed landscape of Coruscant, many of which resulted in the creation of defective creatures and subsystems. In this way, Jacen and the World Brain thwarted the Yuuzhan Vong's attempts to fully transform Coruscant into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar.
When the Yuuzhan Vong were finally defeated and exiled to Zonama Sekot, the World Brain was allowed to remain alive, to assist in once again reforming the surface of Coruscant. This time, however, the World Brain worked with the inhabitants of the planet to ensure that the new environment was suitable for as many beings as possible.
About ten years after the end of the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, Jacen again approached the World Brain, this time after he was named the head of the Galactic Alliance Guard. Because the World Brain was organically connected to Coruscant, it gathered a wealth of information from the creatures and subsystems it controlled. This made the World Brain the perfect spy and informant, providing Jacen with intelligence on the whereabouts of various terrorist cells and Corellian communities. The World Brain gathered a great deal of information for its use through its network of ensalved spies known as Ferals.
The World Brain on Coruscant was killed when Alema Rar tried to murder Jacen by firing poisoned cone dart at him. He ducked at the last instant, and the dart plunged into the World Brain. Only the Force-assisted ministrations of Jacen and Lumiya kept the World Brain alive for a few more days, but the strange creature ultimately succombed to the poison. The Ferals found themselves without guidance, and began to give in to some of their baser instincts.

World Devastator
Designed by the scientists at the Maw Installation, the plans for the World Devastator were sent to Grand Moff Tarkin years after his death at Yavin. The plans were intercepted by Umak Leth, who convinced his superiors that the designs were his own. This was easily accomplished, since the existence of the Maw Installation was well-hidden by Tarkin. Leth saw the creation of the World Devastator as his chance to surpass the genius of Bevel Lemelisk. He took the basic idea of a molecular furnace that broke down matter into its basic elements, and expanded on it. The plans were transmitted to GM Tarkin just after he left the Maw Installation with Bevel Lemelisk and the plans for the first Death Star. As with the original Death Star plans, their source was never revealed to Emperor Palpatine. The World Devastators were eventually implemented by the clone of Emperor Palpatine and used against Calamari. It was the second generation of superweapon from the Installation, and was designed to "eat" the material from a planet's surface (buildings, cities, spaceships, etc.) and reconstitute them into raw materials for creating new Imperial war machines. As with the Death Star before them, the World Devastators were described to the engineers working on them as beneficial, to be used to recycle useless rubble into useful industrial components. In a similar vein to the Mon Calamari starships, each World Devastator was slightly different than the others. This stemmed from the fact the they built themselves over time. The basic skeleton was the same, but the ships were "grown" under supervision until they were ready for deployment. Then, their programming was altered to allow them to attack a planet and begin consuming its resources for use in creating other war machines, rather than for expanding themselves.

Worldship
A bio-engineered form of capital ship, the Yuuzhan Vong worldship was created from a community of yorik coral. Known to the Yuuzhan Vong as a Koros-Strohna, these ten-kilometer-wide ships were living creatures designed to cross vast distances of space. Each was propelled by a collection of dovin basals, which could lock onto a nearby gravity source and use it to "pull" the worldship toward it at incredible speeds. A series of bio-engineered, membranous creatures were attached to the worldship, and could be extended whenever there was no strong gravitational field for the dovin basals to lock onto. The membranous creatures allowed the worldship to be pushed by the interstellar winds. Each worldship carried a compliment of coralskippers for added protection, and several were used to keep the membrane creatures extended. Because the worldship was a self-contained living environment, many Yuuzhan Vong inside began to go mad from the confinement. To ease this situation, special drugs were released into the atmosphere inside the worldship, to calm the Yuuzhan Vong population. Once the worldship was ready for landing, a huge, tubular worm was extended from the craft into the surface of the landing area, allowing the Yuuzhan Vong to establish a planet-side base and maintain contact with the worldship. Like all living creatures, worldships had to be regularly fed and nourished in order to maintain their systems, a chore which was carried out by the Shapers of the Yuuzhan Vong. However, also like living creatures, these huge ships eventually aged and died. Many of the worldships used by the Yuuzhan Vong to cross the intergalactic gulf were quite old by the time they reached the New Republic, having traveled through the intergalactic gulf for many generations, and many began to die shortly after the invasion began.

Worlohp
This Ithorian worked as a shuttle pilot on the planet Naboo, during the years surrounding the battle of Naboo. He made regular trips to Ohma-D'un as the Captain of the shuttle Fair Gale, until an accidental leak of Kyvalon-4 gas drove him into a killing madness. In his rage, Worlohp incapacitated many of his passengers and damaged the shuttle's navigational controls. Only the time intervention of several stalwart passengers helped save the trip from disaster. Worlohp made a complete recovery from the accident, and was reinstated as a pilot after profuse apologies. An investigation into the accident, which seemed to have occurred when a rogue missile hit the Fair Gale, was never able to pinpoint the source of the missile.

Worror
This Ithorian Jedi Master was among the many who were part of the Army of Light, during the final years of the New Sith Wars. Most members of the Jedi Order knew him simply as Master Worror, since his surname was all but unpronounceable to non-Ithorians. Master Worror was a noted healer who was also known for his ability to bring a group of Jedi together in a battle meditation. During the Battle of Ruusan, Worror did not carry a lightsaber into battle. Instead, he served as one of Lord Hoth's primary tactical advisors, using the battle meditation to help coordinate and support the movements of the Army of Light.
Some ten years later, Master Worror was one of the handful of Jedi who accompanied Lord Valenthyne Farfalla to Tython, to confront Darth Bane. While the other four Jedi confronted Bane and his apprentice, Zannah, Master Worror stayed in the shadows, creating the battle meditation that coordinated their attacks and provided them with a sense of strength and endurance. However, once Darth Bane figured out why Master Worror wasn't participating in the attack, he began to force his way closer to the Ithorian Master. Johun Othone came to Worror's aid once before Bane cut off the hand that was wielding his lightsaber. Bane then turned to Master Farfalla and beheaded him with a single blow, before finally attacking Worror. In a spinning leap, Bane slashed through all four of Master Worror's throats, leaving the Ithorian to die from a loss of blood.
Master Worror refused to die that easily, and when Bane turned to dispatch Othone, Master Worror called upon the Force to create a powerful bubble of Force energy. Just as Bane unleashed his Force lightning, Worror encased him in the bubble. The powerful Sith lightning ricocheted within the energy bubble, striking Bane repeatedly and causing severe injuries. The effort cost Worror the last of his energy, and he died as Bane was burned and charred by his own attack.

The worrts which were found on Tatooine only reproduced during the brief periods of humidity showers, and had to mature in a very short period of time. Note that Creatures of the Galaxy and the Return of the Jedi expansion set of the Star Wars Trading Card Game indicate that worrts were native to Tatooine.

This planet was discovered by Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa-Solo, during their search for a suitable planet for the dishomed Ithorian peoples, about a year after the Yuuzhan Vong were defeated. Woteba itself was a temperate world of marshlands and rolling plains that were broken by jagged ranges of mountains. The planet, along with many others, existed within the depths of the Utegetu Nebula, which had previously been unexplored. Woteba itself was a temperate world without distinction, although investigation after its discovered led to several unusual characteristics. Astrophysicists learned that the Utegetu Nebula was relatively young, and yet planets like Woteba were viable worlds that showed little afteraffect of the supernova that created it. More mysteries appeared when the planet was turned over to the Colony, after the Qoribu crisis, when the disease known as the Fizz appeared. Cilghal and other Jedi healers learned that the Fizz was not a viral or bacterial agent, but instead a sophisticated nanotechnology aimed at destroying anything that wasn't native to Woteba.

Wraid
Several species of this creature were found in the galaxy, including desert and hulak wraids found on the planet Tatooine. These flat-bodied creatures moved about on four legs, although their hind legs were much smaller than their forelegs. The forelegs of a wraid were quite muscular, and the wrist joint bent backwards, giving the wraid the appearance of walking with its paws curled inward. Each paw was tipped with large claws, and the wraid' mouth was filled with sharp teeth. Although the average wraid was quite fearsome in appearance, the species was not often violent, and would only attack if provoked.

Wraith Squadron
Formed by Wedge Antilles shortly after the Battle of Thyferra, when the reformed Rogue Squadron could not immediately be re-assigned, Wraith Squadron was made up of the degs of the New Republic's fighter pilots. Wedge felt that there were some potentially great pilots who just needed another chance, and formed the Squadron with the help of Wes Janson. The group was originally designated Gray Squadron, but Wedge allowed the team to choose its own name. Tyria Sarkin came up the name Wraith Squadron, named for mysterious phantoms who were supposed to live under the beds of young children. Among other names proposed were Dinner Squadron - under which the squadron actually performed a mission - and Silly Squadron. Shortly after the Wraiths participated in the destruction of the Razor's Kiss, Wedge returned to Rogue Squadron, but remained in command of the Wraiths. The Wraiths quickly proved their worth as an infiltration team, taking out several key Imperial installations and providing valuable support during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. After the defeat of Zsinj at Selaggis Six, they were disbanded as a starfighter squadron and turned into an Intelligence force working for Airen Cracken. Their insignia as a starfighter group was a white circle bounded by a blue band and two gold rings. Within the white circle were twelve images of X-Wings, flying in formation from lower left to upper right. The lead ship was larger than the others arrayed around it, and all were black in color. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Wraiths were assigned to scouting the locations of Yuuzhan Vong strongholds, especially along the major hyperspace travel routes. More often than not, they encountered alien warships along these routes, and were forced to flee before being discovered.

After the team headed into the wilderness and was captured, they noticed that their Yuuzhan Vong captors - as well as all aspects of their bio-technology - were suddenly dying. Wraw was forced to reveal that his primary mission as part of Team Meloque was to monitor a new strain of the Alpha Red virus that was loosed on Caluula, to verify that it was still as potent as originally believed. His mission with the Team was also a redundant backup in case the Alpha Red virus failed, so that they could eliminate the yammosk in more traditional ways. Despite the anger of the rest of the team, Wraw was happy to learn two things: the new virus worked as described, and it was being transported to Coruscant by the Shapers who had fled the planet.

Senator Wrede had made several public statements on the business practices of the Baktoid Armor Workshop, claiming that the corporation was secretly building huge armies of battle droids on remote worlds, away from the prying eyes of the Old Republic. His claims revolved around the increased purchase of raw materials by Baktoid, without a substantial increase in the production of goods for sale. Baktoid claimed that the purchase of rawmats was an investment toward future diversification, and Senator Wrede's accusations were refuted by many business analyst. A three-month investigation revealed no obvious wrong-doings. With his political career in shambles, Senator Wrede killed himself.

Wren, Lavina Durada-Vashne
This woman served as Cularin's Senator to the New Republic, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Her administration brought a great deal of financial stability to Cularin's corporations, and worked out a treaty with the Tarasin to maintain peace. However, there was some animosity between Senator Wren and the Jedi Knights who operated the Almas Academy. Her personal life was something of a mystery, as she made every effort to keep it out of the spotlight. Wren enjoyed her privacy, and in the vacuum of reports there sprang up all sorts of rumors, not the least of which that she was a descendent of Reidi Artom.
After it was announced that she had snubbed a dinner invitation from Chancellor Valorum himself, Senator Wren returned to Cularin to announced that she was getting married to Jarid DeBell. She continued to act as Cularin's Senator, and even earned the endorsement of crimelord Nirama in maintaining the integrity of Cularin System. It was during this time that two major events occurred in her life. The first was the disappearance of the entire Cularin System, during she continued to represent her homeworld in the Senate while working with the Jedi Order to locate the system. The second event was the birth of her daughter, Night, whose existence was a carefully-guarded secret within the Wren family.
However, because she spent so much of her time on Coruscant, many feared that she had forgotten her homeworld amidst the riches and splendor of the galactic capital. A large portion of Senator Wren's inactivity was later attributed to the fact that the Thaereian Military had kidnapped her daughter, forcing the Senator to allow the Thaereians to gain a foothold in the Cularin System. Many of these sentiments were cast aside when, during the height of the Clone Wars, her diplomatic cruiser was destroyed shortly after landing on Coruscant, in much the same way that Senator Padme' Amidala's vessel had been destroyed months earlier. Senator Wren managed to survive the explosion, when a guards managed to push her into a crash capsule just before the disaster occurred.
It was during this time that Senator Wren appealed to the Senate for military aid for Cularin, both for assistance in the Clone Wars and for combatting the Thaereian Military. She was denied three successive times, despite her impassioned pleas, rendering her request "frivolous" in the eyes of her peers. As the war ground on, Senator Wren found herself suddenly under arrest for collusion with the Separatists and treasonous behavior against the Republic. She was placed under arrest, and Chancellor Palpatine ordered that the entire Cularin System be placed under martial law until the crisis was over.
Senator Wren spent some time in a Republic Holding Facility, and even Warlan Tosk's presentation of a Republic Senate Sealed letter requesting her release was not enough to free her. Unfortunately for Cularin, Senator Wren was believed to have died in an explosion at the Holding Facility, caused by a Zabrak suicide bomber. She was later rescued by Tosk, but their escape was met with stern opposition. They were aided by an unknown benefactor, who provided them with a ship. However, as they raced back to hide on Cularin, substantial bounties were offered for their capture, with Senator Wren herself commanding 35,000 credits if captured alive. She eventually located her daughter and went into hiding.

Wren, Night Forael
This young girl was the daughter of Senator Lavina Wren, who represented the Cularin System in the Galactic Senate during the final years of the Old Republic, and her husband, Jarid DeBell. Sometime after her seventh birthday, Night was kidnapped by the Thaereian Military in the chaos that erupted when the Cularin System suddenly reappeared in the galaxy, giving the Thaereians leverage over Senator Wren's actions. For a year, Senator Wren was little more than a puppet to the Thaereians, as she feared for the life of her daughter. She also worried that Night would not forgive her, since they had gotten into an argument the day beforehand.
In order to make Night comfortable, Colonel Rast'Tul explained that he was taking the girl away from Cularin at the insistence of her parents, in order to protect her from the chaos that was occurring in the Cularin System. Rast'Tul continued to feed her subtle lies, all the while becoming her beloved "Uncle Colonel."
Despite the threats against her daughter, Senator Wren began secretly looking into her daughter's disappearance. She learned that Night was being held in Rast'Tul's private residence on Thaere Privo, and hired a group of freelance operatives to rescue her. The group found Night in the care of her guardian, a Thaereian girl named Nannat, at the residence of Colonel Rast'Tul. Night was hesitant to accept anything the agents told her, since Rast'Tul had been many months telling her subtle lies to gain her confidence. However, the agents knew the code phrase "purple bantha" and what it meant to her, and were able to explain her mother's despair since the kidnapping. Night eventually agreed to leave with the agents, provided that they take Nannat along as well. Night also managed to steal a great deal of credits from Rast'Tul's hidden coffers, as payback for her kidnapping.
Upon returning to Cularin and being reunited with her parents, Night turned over all the credits she stole to her rescuers, claiming that Rast'Tul deserved to lose the credits as punishment for his actions.

Wrench
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 had the highest level of mechanical aptitude among his fellow platoon-mates. It was later revealed to Joram that Wrench 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.

At the same time, Wroonians were also impulsive, an attribute that manifested itself in their legends of Master Fate. Death meant little to the average Wroonian, as their lives were defined by how much wealth they could accumulate and how much fun they could have obtaining it. Government, to a Wroonian, was an easy excuse to relieve him of his wealth and take away his freedom to acquire it. Millennia before the New Order, the Wroonians were a sea-faring people.

Wroshyr
Native to the planet Kashyyyk, this species of trees could grow to heights measured in kilometers, with a few specimens tall enough to reach the clouds. Wookiee scientists located wroshyr trees with diameters that were several kilometers across, a fact that helped them support their massive trunks. Wroshyr trees dominated the planet's surface, extending to the tiny polar caps and the small desert located at the equator. While the surface of Kashyyyk was estimated to be forty-percent covered by water, the commingled wroshyr trees blocked any view of the water from space.
The Wookiees who were native to Kashyyk built their cities in wroshyr trees, taking advantage of the tree's natural strengths to create their cities. The branches of a wroshyr tree merged with one another when they intersected, branching out to form vast networks of limbs. As these networks expanded, the Wookiees, could train them to grow in certain directions, allowing them to form living buttresses and walls. The merging of two wroshyr branches stood as a symbol of the unity and strength of the Wookiee people. The upper portion of a wroshyr tree was set aside for nursery rings, where young Wookiees were raised. Even at these heights, the wroshyr trees measured almost half a kilometer in diameter.
<>Each wroshyr tree reproduced by producing seed-bearing cones every 100 years. Each cone contained a single seed, which was protected by the cone until it fell to the ground. Then, the trees released mists of tangy-smelling pollen that blanketed the ground, falling upon the cones and fertilizing the seed. Wookiees known as Tree Carers often gathered the fallen and unfertilized cones, storing the seeds for later planting.Although uncommon, wroshyr-wood furniture was sometimes found in places across the galaxy. Wookiees sometimes harvested dead or dying sections of these great trees, preventing the spread of potentially-damaging diseases or fires in order to protect other parts of the tree or the jungle. The wood that was obtained was then used to create beautiful chairs and wood panels.

Of course, the female had to offer to groom the male's fur, as a way to apologize for the "mistake."

Wrruushi
This was the name of a Wookiee martial art. Those Wookiees who became skilled in Wrruushi combat were known as devastating hand-to-hand fighters, and were considered deadly at close ranges. The Wrruushi form of combat was never taught to beings of other races, since it could only be performed by the incredibly strong physique of a Wookiee. Compared to other forms of martial arts, the Wrruushi was relatively slow-paced, being focused on intensely-powerful punches and jabs that took advantage of a Wookiee's upper-body strength. The advantage of this form of martial art was that it emphasized the use of a single, heavy strike against one's opponent, rather than a combination of two or three blows.

Wuher
This man was working as the daytime bartender in the Mos Eisley Cantina when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker approach Han Solo regarding passage to Alderaan, just prior to the Battle of Yavin. Wuher grew up on Tatooine, having been abandoned on the desert world by his parents, and was brought up by one of the Shi'ido who impersonated Reess Kairn, until the alien was killed by Aurra Sing. As an adult, Wuher worked the after-double-noon shift for Chalmun.
Wuher was abandoned in Mos Eisley as a child, and had been fighting his way up in the world ever since. He had maintained a spark of a dream of getting off Tatooine. He had grown up hating and distrusting droids, having been brushed off in favor of them a number of times. When he discovered a chemistry kit, he began experimenting with new ways to create tasty drink mixes. He later completed a bartending correspondence course, and now considers himself a bioalchemist. He had been working for Chalmun for a number of years, and had fine-tuned his ability to create new beverages due to Chalmun's tight alcohol budget.
In an effort to get off Tatooine, Wuher began working to create the perfect liqueur for Jabba the Hutt. After stumbling onto C2-R4, Wuher discovered that the droid was extremely helpful for exactly mixing ingredients. When Greedo came into the cantina and was killed by Han Solo, wuher realized that Rodian pheromones were the missing ingredient in Jabba's liqueur. Wuher obtained Greedo's corpse, and had C2-R4 brew Greedo into the liqueur.
According to the street fortune teller known as the Prophetess, Wuher was the reincarnation of Cedo Partu, the settler who was credited with erecting the building that served as the cantina, during Mos Eisley's boomtown years. After hearing of this prattle, Wuher banned the Prophetess from entering the cantina.

This subspecies of Killiks was part of the Colony, and served as the primary communications system for the Great Swarm. The short-statured, wide-eyed Wuluw stood just under a meter in height, and were one of the handful of Killiks who lacked a truly protective carapace. The chitin of the Wuluw was so delicate that it often cracked if an individual tripped and fell, forcing the Wuluw to take non-combat roles in the Great Swarm. However, what they lacked in protection, the Wuluw made up for with their ability to communicate with the Colony across vast distances. Thus, many Wuluw were dispatched to all sections of the Great Swarm to create a communications network, and to coordinate the orders that were issued by UnuThul during the Colony's conflict with the Chiss.

He was also related to several Bothans who served aboard the Avengeance, although he was torn between his loyalty to the Galactic Alliance and the Bothan need to complete the ar'kai against the Yuuzhan Vong. During the blockade of the Murgo Choke, about a year after the Qoribu Crisis, Captain Wurf'al served under Admiral Bwua'tu aboard the Admiral Ackbar. When Leia Organa Solo discovered that the spinglass statuary of Admiral Bwua'tu contained assassin bugs from the Gorog hive, Wurf'al was the first officer hit by the swarm.

(UANT)
Wurrek
This unusual creature was considered more dangerous but less annoying than a mynock, since their activities caused damage to droids and crew members rather than to ships themselves. The wurrek was a fine-scaled creature that measured just under a meter in length, and lacked any defined head. Instead a sensor cluster found on its dorsal side helped the wurrekdetect light and vibrations. Six tentacled arms ended in a collection of tooth-filled mouths, which served as breathing apparatus, manipulators, and feeding mechanisms. It also attacked with these mouths, which made the wurrek hard to capture. The arms of the wurrek were designed for climbing, and the creature felt more at home in caves and caverns than on the ground. What made wurreks so despised was their insatiable appetite, and the lengths they would go to in order to find food. When trapped aboard a starship, wurreks would chew its way into cargo containers in serach of anything edible, leaving a mess in its wake. When confronted, a wurrek often attacked first, having little fear of other creatures. A wurrek which discovered a load of spice was exceptionally dangerous, since the spice drove the creature into a wild frenzy.

When Anakin was ordered by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to lead the rescue efforts, Aubrie asked him to carry her Master's holocron back to Coruscant, in case she didn't survive. After many of her fellow Jedi were killed in battle, Aubrie found that she was the only survivor with a chance to end Stratus' life.

When Luke asked about his young age, Wyss explained that he was little more than a servant, and that he was more than happy to exist in the status quo. Luke questioned this, since Wyss obviously was interested in the teachings of the Baran Do Sages, but Wyss explained that the customs of the Baran Do implied that each individual should be happy with their lot in life, and not worry about acquiring new skills. When the Hidden One, Koro Ziil, was defeated by Luke Skywalker in combat and forced to admit that he was using his power to control the rest of the Kel Dors, Wyss was the first to rush to his aid, helping the aging Kel Dor to leave the Throne Chamber.

Wyyrlok, Darth
This Chagrian became Darth Krayt's second-in-command, during the rise to power of Krayt's new Sith order, more than 100 years after the Battle of Yavin. His knowledge of Sith lore, rituals, and history was rivalled only by that of Darth Krayt himself. The reserved, philosophical Chagrian was known within the new Sith order as the third individual to hold the title of Darth Wyyrlok, a choice that was in fitting with the calm, diplomatic legacies of his predecessors. He ensured that a Wyyrlok would continue to serve the Sith when he submitted his own daughter for training on Korriban. Thus, he held no fear - and no reservations - about his ability to live through his tenure with Darth Krayt. However, for all his assuredness of his own fortunes, Darth Wyyrlok worried greatly about his Master. Over the seven years following the Massacre at Ossus, Darth Krayt's health grew steadily worse, and no amount of medicine or magic could keep him from deterioritating further. Together they explored the lore of Xoxaan, looking for clues to help them combat the Sith Lord's failing condition. Darth Wyyrlok also managed to obtain the Jedi healer, Hosk Trey'lis, and forced him to investigate Darth Krayt's condition, but nothing helped. When it became apparent that stronger measures were needed, Darth Wyyrlok chose to seek help from an unlikely source: Cade Skywalker.
Skywalker had already healed two other beings, drawing on the Dark Side of the Force to bring them from the brink of death. However, convincing Skywalker to help Darth Krayt was more than a challenge. Darth Krayt took it upon himself to have Skywalker captured and brought before him, hoping to force a bond with him and draw him over to the Dark Side of the Force. In the wake of Skywalker's capture, Darth Wyyrlok began to hear rumblings in the Sith Temple, as the various Sith Lords and students began to question Darth Krayt's obsession with Skywalker. When he confronted his Master with these rumors, Darth Wyyrlok was a bit surprised by Darth Krayt's adamant belief that Skywalker would become a Sith, and openly questioned the success of training someone who did not embrace the Sith ways. Wyyrlock's fears were partly realized when Skywalker managed to escape from the Sith Temple, leaving Darth Krayt weakened and unable to remain active for long without needing meditation and a healing trance. In order to ensure that Darth Krayt survived, Darth Wyyrlok took a secret journey into the Deep Core of the galaxy, on a hunt for the true tomb of Darth Andeddu, an ancient Sith Lord who had apparently found a way to live on after the death of his body.
Darth Wyyrlok had learned that Andeddu's true tomb was not on Korriban, as popularly believed, but in a remote fortress on the planet Prakith. Taking Darth Andeddu's Holocron with him, Darth Wyyrlok made the journey to Prakith, and discovered Andeddu's true tomb, with the help of a feral Dark Sider named Gerlun. However, Wyyrlok's constant degradation of Gerlun's abilities caused the feral humanoid to lash out, and he stole the Holocron and laid it atop Andeddu's dessicated corpse. This completed the ancient spell Andeddu had placed upon the Holocron, in which he had secretly encased his very life essence. Andeddu then took over Gerlun's body and tried to destroy Wyyrlok, but Wyyrlok had now discovered the truth behind the life of Darth Andeddu. Wyyrlok had pieced together enough information to realize that Anddedu was a coward who had fled Korriban in order to sabe his own life. Armed with this knowledge, Wyyrlok drew upon the Dark Side of the Force and destroyed Andeddu and his new body, as well as Andeddu's Holocron, thereby ensuring that the ancient Sith Lord would never return. However, Wyyrlok was forced to return to Coruscant with little more than this knowledge, since his battle with Andeddu had destroyed all the scrolls and tomes that he had found within Andeddu's Keep.

Wyyrlok, Darth
This was the title adopted by the first Sith Lord to serve as Darth Krayt's chief lieutenant, during the decades following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy and the Swarm War. When Darth Krayt realized that he needed to go deep into a healing trance to overcome the effects of the yorik coral implants in his body, he chose Darth Wyyrlok to watch over his body. Wyyrlok was chosen for his loyalty and support, and maintained an open contact with Darth Krayt's mind at all times. He carried out Darth Krayt's orders for many years before a second, and then a third, being was given the title of Darth Wyyrlok.
