Polymetric Alloy
This was the generic term used to describe any metallic alloy that exhibits changes in its physical properties, depending on the environmental stresses upon it. High-grade polymetrics were used in the production of upgrades to starship reactor cores, since the artificial augmentation of power levels caused higher amounts of stress to the physical materials used to create them. Radioactive polymetrics were used in the production of hull reinforcement systems that worked with a vessel's shield generators to improve the effectiveness of armor plating, in the event that a ship's shield generators were damaged or overloaded. (SWG2P)

Polyp
This small, slug-like being worked for Skinker on the planet Junction, during the years surrounding the Battle of Yavin. Polyp and Skinker were killed when Valance the Hunter tried tocapture Luke Skywalker, who was on Junction to obtain replacement parts for the Alliance's droids. When Valance tried to shoot his way through a magentically-sealed door, both Skinker and Polyp were caught in the blast and killed. (MC27)

Polyplast
This thin, flexible material was developed during the Clone Wars by Old Republic scientists and engineers. Because it was liquid when stored under pressure, polyplast could be transported with relative ease aboard military vessels. When sprayed out, however, polyplast formed durable ropes that could be used by clone troopers to repel onto battlefields. The polyplast cords could then be discarded when the landing craft lifted off again, eliminating the possibility of enemy forces entering the landing craft by a trailing line. (E3N)

The pom hopper also laid its eggs in the water, just under the leaves of the pom plant, to protect them until the young emerge and swim to the surface. When threatened, pom-hoppers dove under the surface of the water and hung just below the surface, with only their nostrils breaking the surface. (GF, WSW)

Pommel, Dreed
This man was a noted criminal who was prusued by Jedi Master Plo Koon, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Master Koon had tracked Pommel to Metellos, where he had taken refuge in Ektra City. Pommel learned of Koon's arrival on Metellos, and quickly grabbed a small child to serve as a hostage and a shield against attack. Rather than risk the child's life in a fight, Master Koon drew upon the Force and unleashed a spray of Force lightning at Pommel, using only enough energy in the lightning bolts to render Pommel unconscious. Koon then rescued the girl, Claria Labreezle, and sent Pommel to prison. (EGF)

Pommwomm
This plant was a hot-world shrub that grows only on the innermost planet of the Sif'kric System. The Sif'krie have discovered that they can create eight or more exotic medicines and some twenty food flavorings from the pommwomm plant. However, it must be processed within thirty hours of picking or it's useless. The Frezhlix were somewhat jealous of the wealth the Sif'krie obtained from the sale of pommwomm extracts, and often tried to blockade its shipment in order to spoil it. (SOP)

Pomojema
This deity was worshiped by the Mimbanites on their homeworld of Circarpous V. Pomojema was often seen as a winged humanoid with huge claws on its hands and feet. It had slanting eyes, but no nose or mouth below them. Instead, a mass of tentacles covered the lower half of its face. Like many other Circarpousian deities, Pomojema was thought to have granted his priests the ability to perform miracles.

During much of his tenure, Pomt tried to gain support for the Appeasement Vote, hoping to promote Senator's Shesh's position and eliminate the Jedi Knights. When Senator Shesh's actions were revealed to Senator E'noro and the panel of Senators investigation corruption in the Senate, Pomt argued vehemently in her defense. However, evidence provided by Leia Organa Solo that placed Pomt at the scene of Shesh's crimes sealed his fate and that of his master. Both Shesh and Pomt were relieved of their senatorial duties by E'noro. Pomt was later assassinated by one of Senator's Shesh's other agents. (REC, WOTC)

Commander Ponds was a skilled AT-RT driver, and led the assault on Wat Tambor's fortress in the city of Lessu. He later accompanied Master Windu during the Battle of Malastare, and worked with the Jedi to capture the infamous zillo beast. In the weeks that followed, Commander Ponds was deployed with Master Windu to the training vessel Endurance. When the ship experienced a malfunction within its reactor core, Ponds decided to remain aboard the vessel with her commanding officer, Admiral Kilian, in order to ensure that the ship remained together long enough for the rest of the crew and cadets to escape. (CWTV20, CWTV21, CWTV40, CWTV42)

This was one of the nicknames used to describe the Aleph-class starfighter. This nickname stemmed from the ship's original mission profile, because the Aleph-class fighter was designed to counter the Yuuzhan Vong coralskipper in space combat. (LF1)

Pondut
The deep-space research platform was owned and operated by Galactic Electronics, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The Pondut station was the primary development site for the mag pulse weapon, a technology that Galactic Electronics had planned to turn over to the Alliance.

Master Poof discovered Khorda's plans to use the Infant of Shaa to destroy Coruscant, and barely arrived in time to prevent Khorda. Unexpectedly assisted by Jango Fett and Zam Wesell, Yarael Poof managed to defeat Khorda and recover the statue. However, its destruction had already been triggered by Khorda's power. Master Poof died in a valiant effort to use the Force to return the Infant to its dormant state. (E1, IG1, ZW)

Pool of Knowledge
According to the Mind Walkers, the Pool of Knowledge was a place where a truly enlightened individual could discover "all that has passed, and all that is to come". However, the individual first had to successfully resist the temptation of the Font of Power, before they could discover the location of the Pool of Knowledge. Once a being had proven themselves strong enough to ignore the Font of Power, they were given the chance to bathe in the Pool of Knowledge. Just looking into the Pool of Knowledge could be a revelation, as the reflection that was shown to an individual showed their true self, as determined by the Force itself. Luke Skywalker visited the Poll of Knowledge, some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, on a self-imposed mission to follow in the path of Jacen Solo, and learn what might have made the former Jedi turn into Darth Caedus. Luke looked into the pool and saw a haggard man who seemed to have aged well beyond his years, but he refused to wade into the Pool's waters. Seek Ryontarr revealed that Jacen had also passed beyond the Font of Power and had refused to bathe in the Pool of Knowledge, although he did remain at the Pool for a long time, until he had seen what he came to see. Like the Font of Power, the Pool of Knowledge was a physical manifestation of the environment envisioned by the Force presence known as Abeloth. For those individuals who chose to move beyond the Pool of Knowledge, Abeloth awaited them at the Throne of Balance. (FJ3)

This young human was a member of the Jedi Order's Agricultural Corps, during the final years of the Old Republic. Nam and Jambe Lu were among the small group of Jedi that was rescued by Roan Shryne and the crew of the Drunk Dancer, in the wake of the Clone Wars. They had been on an agricultural mission to Bonadan, and were returning home, when the command was issued to clone troopers across the galaxy to execute Order 66. After escaping the attack, the humans heard the 913 call that was issued by Siadem Forte, and joined the Jedi Knight on Dellalt before fleeing and being rescued by Shryne. The group managed to survive a brief stopover on Jaguada's moon, before Olee Starstone set off on her own, and Shryne remained with the crew of the Drunk Dancer. Although Poorf had deferred to Shryne's leadership, he chose to follow Starstone's lead and set off with her to locate any other surviving Jedi. On Kashyyyk, the group of Jedi hoped to learn more about the fates of Yoda, Quinlan Vos, and Luminara Unduli, but were instead confronted by Darth Vader himself. After Vader injured Klossi Anno and killed both Forte and Iwo Kulka, Lu and Poorf bravely tried to attack the Dark Lord themselves. Their lack of combat skills was immediately apparent, as Vader cut off Lu's right arm and Poorf's right leg in a single slash of his crimson lightsaber. Both Poorf and Lu were rescued by Starstone and the crew of the Drunk Dancer. After escaping Kashyyyk, Poorf decided to sign up as an agriculturalist attached to an Imperial project, where he hoped to learn as much as he could about the Empire and sow dissent from within. (RDV)

Poot, Drogue
This man was Una Poot's first husband. An adventurous man, he was a gas miner by trade. He survived their mission to Ord Segra, where they were trying to deliver a cargo of culslon gas but refused to pay the mandatory bribe, but later died while prospecting in the Dragonflower Nebula. It was believed that Drogue had some sensitivity to the Force, but he was never trained to use it. His death occurred some thirty years before the Battle of Hoth. (SWJ6)

Poot, Una
This Alliance resistance leader once delivered a cargo of culslon gas to Ord Segra. When she and her husband Drogue chose not to pay the 7% "bribe" for clearance, the planetary officials opened fire on them. They escaped by making a blind jump into hyperspace, and ended up at Silver Station. They lived there ever since, delivering weapons to Alliance forces. Her husband Drogue had some sensitivity with the Force, but died before he could realize anything from it. Una continued to supply the Alliance with information and goods, marrying twice more and surviving both husbands. After Toalar Yalom Yalom fled Druckenwell and delivered Daye Azur-Jamin to her, Una trained the young man as an Alliance operative. It was Una Poot who ordered the Ranats on Silver Station eradicated, setting off a small war within the station. (SWJ6, SWJ10)

Pop 'n' Drop
This specialized obstacle was used on swoopchasing courses. Similar to the Grand Moff Bank, the Pop 'n' Drop was a tall bank measuring 100 meters or more in height. It was topped with a solid permacrete wall over which the riders must fly. Beyond the wall, the bank dropped off sharply, often plunging 20 meters before forming the "other side" of the bank. Between the two sides of the bank was a ditch up to 30 meters across, adding to the dangerous interchange of gravitational forces acting on a swoop. Outlawed racecourses often employ a variation on the Pop 'n' Drop known as the Suicide Peak. (BSS)

Por Ral, Nij
This portly man worked was a professor of ancient linguistics during the height of the New Order. His knowledge of ancient civilizations led him to be retained by the SoroSuub Corporation to assist with the excavation of a three-mile-long wall on the planet Dorlo, a mission which was condoned only because SoroSuub hoped to later strip the planet of its natural resources. SoroSuub hoped that the runes carved into the wall would provide clues to the locations of valuable resources. The rescue team of Jedi Knight Qu Rahn managed to convince Pro Ral to join their effort in repelling the Imperial forces which arrived on Dorlo to assist in the planet's subjugation, and Por Ral agreed to help as long as it helped keep the relics he discovered from being destroyed. When the team was captured by the Dark Jedi Jerec, it was Por Ral who pleaded for his own life by telling Jerec that it was Rahn who had information on the location of the Valley of the Jedi. Disgusted by his begging, Yun killed Por Ral with a swift lightsaber blow to the head. (RAG)

Porax-38
This fighter, known simply as the P-38, was developed by Buuper Torsckil Abbey Devices on the planet Utapau, during the final years of the Old Republic. Measuring 12.7 meters in length, the catamaran-like P-38 had two cylindrical drive unit connected by a platform-like wing. In the center of this wing was the cockpit, which housed the pilot and little else. Armed with a pair of high-powered laser cannons set just off each drive unit, the P-38 was the primary defense craft used by the Utapau Skyforce to protect their homeworld. These ships were designed to be piloted by an Utai, and were given a Class 2 hyperdrive that allowed a pilot to travel within the local sector. The navigational computer was hard-coded with this local data, eliminating the need for an astromech. The primary attribute of the Porax-38 starfighter was its sensor system, which included high-powered jamming equipment that could greatly affect the performance of enemy droid starfighters. It was believed that the MagnaGuard droids who served General Grievous during the Clone Wars flew Porax-38 starfighters on various missions. (X3, SSOG, CWTV07)

Porcellus
A chef who worked for Jabba the Hutt in the Court of the Fountain restaurant. He was probably most famous for his fried beignets, although Porcellus took great pride in other parts of his ever-changing menu. It also kept him alive, for Jabba was always wanting to try new dishes. When Jabba retreated to his palace in the Tatooine desert, he took Porcellus with him. Porcellus lived in constant fear, though, that one of his dished would upset the Hutt's normally strong stomach. At that point, Porcellus felt he would be fed to the rancor. After a number of deaths in Jabba's palace were discovered, Porcellus was told by Jabba that his desires to poison Jabba had hexed the food. The individuals found dead ate food that was destined for Jabba. Porcellus hid in the cabinets, fearing a reprisal from Jabba. When he was later released by Malakili, Porcellus learned that Jabba was dead. The two friends fled to Mos Eisley, where they established the Crystal Moon restaurant. (TME, TJP)

This star system was located several light-years from the Fath System. When the Republic warship Leveler fled the Fath System, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, Captain Gilad Pellaeon had hoped to jump a short distance from JanFathal and then return quickly, as soon as the ship's weapons were operational. However, the central chrono software that fed data to the ship's navigational computer was damaged, and the Leveler ended up in the Poressi System. (CWNOP)

The injuries forced her to abandon her dream of being a warrior, and Porgryn fled her homeworld for the relative obscurity of the Wayfar settlement on Tatooine. There, she was befriended by Loruna Scathe, who took her in as a member of the Azure Cabal. Porgryn built her reputation within the mercenary band as a covert operative, and her skills allowed her to move up the ranks to a position with the Azure Cabal's inner circle. (SWGAL)

Porkins, Jek
An Alliance pilot killed during the Battle of Yavin, Jek Porkins was a native of the planet Bestine IV until the Empire evicted the entire population in order to establish a base there. He hunted sink-crabs there, honing his piloting skills much like Luke Skywalker did on Tatooine. Later, he became a free trader, and was so employed when the Empire invaded. He became so angry with the Empire that he immediately turned his sights on the Alliance. He was assigned to the Yellow Aces squadron at Tierfon before volunteering for duty during the Battle of Yavin. He was initially denied a pilot's job in the battle, until Wes Janson came down with the Hesken Fever. Porkins was moved up to fill Janson's spot, and was assigned to Red Squadron. Unfortunately, Porkins was the first pilot killed in the Battle. For his heroic volunteerism and dedication to the Alliance, Porkins was posthumously awarded the Kenobi Medallion. He was the first recipient of the award. Note that Porkins' first name was given as Tono in the Marvel Comics adaptation of Star Wars: A New Hope. (E4, MTS, JS, CCG, MC6)

The elimination of the Porporites sparked the rampage known as the Gank Massacres, and was accomplished in a relatively short time. (NECH)

Porpu, Zan
This Alliance Y-Wing pilot was lost in the Esstran Cordon, a region of space that was not supposed to be dangerous, during the year following the Battle of Hoth. The Alliance turned to their new-found allies, the Bothans, in hopes that the Bothan SpyNet had any information on his disappearance. It was believed that Porpu inadvertently dropped out of hyperspace into a secret Imperial testing ground, and his Y-Wing was shot to pieces. Porpu was believed to have ejected before the fighter exploded, but his whereabout were never discovered. Many feared that he had been captured and interrogated by Imperial forces. (RESB)

This large, Vorzydiak male served as the Chairman of Vorzyd 4, some eleven years before the Battle of Naboo. He petitioned the Jedi Council to act as mediators in a dispute between his homeworld and Vorzyd 5, some eleven years before the Battle of Naboo. Like his fellow Vorzydiaks, Chairman Port believed that the natives of Vorzyd 5 were sabotaging the manufacturing facilities of Vorzyd 4, in an effort to undermine the leadership of the Vorzydiaks in the Vorzyd Cluster. He was unaware of the fact that the sabotage was the work of the Freelies, who were being led by his own son, Grath. In the wake of the bombing of the Multycorp headquarters and the death of Flip, Chairman Port agreed to work with the Freelies and the governments of Vorzyd 4 and Vorzyd 5 to amend the rules pertaining to the workweek and try to allow for more free time. (TTW)

Port Bianco
This was the name of the shadowport which was originally founded by Lamuu Bianco as a storage and repair facility for the starships in his pirate fleet. When the Old Republic was replaced by the Empire, and smuggling became more and more profitable, the shadowport was opened to all spacers, provided that they had an invitation. The invitation provided the coordinates of a hyperspace bouy in the Tamber System, as well as a password to access the memory of the bouy. The bouy contained the final jump coordinates to Lammax, provided that the correct password was entered. Uninvited guests who didn't know the password to the shadowport were given fake coordinates that led them through the heart of the Tamber System's primary star. The bouy itself was protected from tampering by a sensor system that detects if it was captured by a tractor beam or gravity well. If captured, the bouy was designed to self-destruct. (LOE)

Port Haven
This planet, the third of seven planets located in the remote Whendyll System, was known as a place where spacers and smugglers could to go "get away" and not be hassled. Its location was a carefully-guarded secret, and to obtain them from a fellow smuggler was a sign of your trustworthiness and the respect you had earned. It was a temperate world covered with lush jungles and tall mountains, with sandy beaches along the coastline. The smugglers' base was maintained by Hallomar, with help from Mister Mxil. The planet was originally settled some 250 years before the Galactic Civil War, by a group of Salliche Ag idealists who wanted to get away from the bureaucracy of the galaxy. The original colony was abandoned when many of the settlers were killed by the creatures which inhabited the jungles. The smuggling colony was based on hospitality and good-will, with spacers taking only what they needed and replacing it with whatever they could spare. (SESB, PSPG)

Port Pevaria
This public spaceport was located near Coronet, on the planet Corellia, during the year following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Unlike the Elmas Private Spaceport, Port Pevaria was controlled by the criminal underworld of Corellia. Because the spaceport controllers had no direct ties to the Corellian government, Port Pevaria became a haven for smugglers and Galactic Alliance operatives who were trying to work on Corellia, after Thrackan Sal-Solo tried to secede the Corellian System from the Galactic Alliance. (LF4)

Port Pixelito
This was the primary spaceport found on the planet Malastare, located in the city of Pixelito. (HNN5)

Port Tarkin
This city was the location of Phelarion's primary spaceport. The Lady Tarkin used this spaceport as her primary distribution center for Imperial megonite. (CSWEA)

Port Town
One of the more dangerous places to live on Cloud City. Lando leased some space there to Han Solo to build his repulsorlift house. Much of the illegal gambling and trafficking that was frowned upon on Cloud City took place here. Port Town took up levels 121 through 160, and was a low-rent district filled with industrial loading bays. The various cantinas and gambling halls were sprinkled among these bays, making a concerted effort to eradicate them difficult. (GG2, LCJ, ISU)

Portaak
The leaves of this bush provided a form of spice. It was believed that portaak grew only in the jungles of Haruun Kal. It was often dried over smoking chips of lammas wood, to enhance its natural flavors. The sap of the portaak hardened into a form of amber when exposed to the air. This amber was a natural fungicidethat was rubbed onto weapons to prevent them from being corroded by Haruun Kal's environments. This amber was also quick sticky, and helped a warrior maintain their grip on a weapon. (SHPT)

Portable

This was an inflatable dome that could be carried like a backpack, but could provide protection for certain harsh environments. A small power supply allowed the user to regulate the temperature within the biosphere, providing heat or cold as needed. (MIS5)

Portable Computer
This generic term refers to any small, self-contained computer systems. Unlike pocket computers, which only allow the user to access data on a large mainframe, portables allow the user to gain control of the mainframe. They were expensive, and were redundant if you own a droid, but they don't get tempermental and don't require regular memory wipes. Portable computers have two primary components: the power supply and onboard memory. A flip-up display provides access to the keyboard. (CFG)

Portage Moon
This was the name used by the Aqualish to describe the lunar cycle under which many of the ocean-going vessels return to their home port. (PH)

Porta-hoist
This mobile hydraulic jack was commonly found in starship repair yards. (CSWEA)

Portal Delta
This starship navigational computer was designed and manufactured by Suwantek Systems, for use in their TL-series of transports. The system was poorly designed and full of bugs, and had to be regularly updated in order to remain functional. Suwantek eventually abandoned the Portal Delta and used Fabritech systems. (SS)

Portal Desolate
This strange device was left behind by the Order of the Terrible Glare on Garn. The holographic image of Rur was maintained here, as a guardian and vindicator of the Order's work, should the Jedi Knights return to Garn. It was destroyed when Luke Skywalker told Rur's image that the Jedi had been wiped out by Emperor Palpatine. The central computer couldn't reconcile this fact with its programming, and exploded. (CSWDW)

Portalink
This was the Kadrillian version of a comlink. (LAT3)

Por'Ten, Lady
This well-heeled, tattooed X'Ting was the director of energy for the Five Families of the planet Ord Cestus, during the height of the Clone Wars. She was usually accompanied by her husband, the Lord Por'Ten, during the meetings of the Five Families. She and her husband were among the Five Families members who were kidnapped by Nemonus, but were rescued by Obi-Wan Keonib. Later, Lady and Lord Por'Ten were killed, along with most members of the Five Families, when the ARC trooper Jangotat infiltrated their secret bunker on the Kibo Plateau and ordered the Nexu to fire on his location. (TCD)

Por'Ten, Lord
This X'Ting was the mate of Lady Por'Ten, and often accompanied her to the meetings of the Five Families during the height of the Clone Wars. Unlike his wife, Lord Por'Ten was an overweight individual who clearly enjoyed some of life's more carnal pleasures. He was among the Five Families members who were kidnapped by Nemonus, but was eventually rescued by Obi-Wan Kenobi. Lord and Lady Por'ten were killed, along with most members of the Five Families, when the ARC trooper Jangotat infiltrated their secret bunker on the Kibo Plateau and ordered the Nexu to fire on his location. (TCD)

Portent
This undercover Imperial diplomatic agent had expedited the Imperial take-over of Cloud City, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. (SESB)

Porter
This man worked as a cargo loader on his homeworld of Drunost, during the height of the New Order. Like his boss, Casement, Porter secretly supported the Alliance, especially in the aftermath of the destruction of Alderaan. Their team made sure that shipments of blasters and other military supplies reached bvarious rebel cells in the Shelsha Sector of the galaxy, rerouting or mislabeling certain cargoes to make sure they reached the right destination.

Like the rest of his team, Porter hated the fact that the BloodScar Pirates often raided their facilities. He was alerted to a possible ambush when he saw a swoop gang race out of a BloodScar freighter, and confirmed their presence when he found a shoulder patch from one of the swoop riders. In an unlikely scenario, the rebel band was saved from a BloodScar attack by a group of renegade stormtroopers, led by Daric LaRone, who had deserted their posting aboard the Reprisal.

Porter and his band later agreed to meet directly with Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, to discuss further reinforcement for the Alliance cell on Drunost. (A)

Port-Esta Queen
Boba Fett tracked Abal Karda to this ship, but was unable to capture Karda before he escaped to Star Station 12. Fett followed the ship and caught up with her crew on Vestar, but was only able to gather the fact that Karda was traveling as a Vetsaari Nomad. (EOE)

Portha
This Trandoshan was living in the Invisible Sector, working for Palar, when the Rogue Squadron infiltrated the planet. He agreed to help the Rogues in their attempt to sabotage the Empire's computer cores. The goal was to plant codes into the cores that would allow Winter to tap into the Imperial network. However, Portha mistakenly dropped the sabotaged data core, and it was returned to the pile. Wedge Antilles quickly worked to resolve the situation by substituting another sabotaged core, but the plan had already been leaked by Zekka Thyne. Imperial forces stepped in and raided the Palar plant. (WG)

Portharton
This city was located near Lianna, on the planet Lianna. (ML)

Portin
This man was one of Zothip's pirates. He was taken out by Karoly D'ulin on Bastion, while they were guarding Moff Disra's offices. (VOF)

Portmaster's Pavilion
Once the center of the city of Redhaven, on the planet Rhommamool, the Pavilion was bombed out during the early days of Rhommamoolian secession from Osarian rule. In its place, which became the center of the Square of Hopeful Redemption, was a pit into which droids and other automata were thrown by the Red Knights of Life. Once a collection of droids had been formed, the natives of Redhaven dropped rocks and stones on the droids, destroying them for their "defiance" of natural life. (VP)

Portminian
This civilian transport vessel was one of many such ships that were contracted by the Empire to carry non-military personnel to the construction site of the first Death Star, during the early years of the New Order. (DSTR)

Positive Ecology
This Chandrilan regulation was established to help farmers and the producers of foodstuffs to package and sell foods that were organically produced, or were produced in an environmentally-friendly manner. Grains, dairy products, meats, fruits, and other products were given a seal of approval that marked them as part of the Positive Ecology system, and these foodstuffs were of much higher quality than other, non-regulated goods. (WOTC)

Positronic Brain
This was a generic term used to describe the complex "brain" systems that were used in most higher-order droids. These types of central processors were most often found in medical droids and protocol droids, which had to be able to think for themselves in real-time situations. (CN1)

Posondum, Nil
This small, balding man was once the head accountant for Trans-Galactic Gaming Enterprises Corporation. Prior to joining Trans-Galactic, Posondum worked for the Hutt-controlled Trans-Zone Development and Exploitation Consortium, managing the earnings of a series of skefta dens in the Outer Rim Territories. On the side, he also arranged under-the-table business deals with anyone who could pay the credits. Among his clients was Kodir of Kuhlvult, who contracted Posondum to hire someone to kidnap her sister Kateel and rease any memories she might have, then lose her. Posondum placed the fees for this job in the escrow accounts of Kud'ar Mub'at, and It was Mub'at who eventually hired Ree Duptom to do the job. In the meantime, in a daring move, Posondum had much of the Hutt syndicate's access codes, credit-laundering schemes, and odds-rigging systems stored in a cortical data splint shortly before he left the Hutts to work for Trans-Galactic. His new employer paid a huge sum for the data. He also took with him a huge sum of embezzled credits, stored in remote banks and financial outlets. However, the Hutts weren't very happy with his departure, and established a 12,500-credit bounty on his head. This bounty was claimed by Boba Fett, who had to evade being caught by Bossk and Zuckuss in order to deliver the accountant to Kud'ar Mub'at for exchange. (MA, HM)

Poss'Nomin
Native to the planet Illarreen, this species of humanoids was distinguished by its three eyes and shovel-like jaws. They were discovered about 100 years before the Battle of Yavin by a spice trader who decided to investigate Illarreen. Their civilization had developed to the point that their nations had started warring against each other when the planet was discovered by spice traders. The Poss'Nomin ceased their fighting to communicate with the off-worlders, and soon discovered that there was much more to worry about than their petty squabbles. The Poss'Nomin put down their weapons and began to integrate themsevles into the galactic culture. The warring nations collapsed their boundaries and joined to form a single, planetary government. (AE)

Post
This Alliance escort shuttle group was deployed to defend the captured space station D-34, during the weeks that followed the Battle of Hoth. Most of the Post shuttles managed to escape an attack by Imperial forces, but station D-34 was eventually surrendered to the Empire. (TIEP)

Post, Avan
This Jedi Master from Chandrila served with distinction during the Clone Wars, along with his young Padawan, Olana Chion. The fates of both Post and Chion were never truly discovered, although it was believed that Chion died in the attack on the Jedi Temple led by Darth Vader. Years later, Corran Horn discovered Post's image in the bowels of the Galactic Museum, during his escape from the Lusankya facility. (KT, SWDB)

Post, Ilir
This young man was a contemporary of Soontir Fel, and was the spoiled son of Fel's employers. When Fel rescued Pamr from one of Post's attacks, Post's father saw to it that Fel was shipped off to the Imperial Academy on Carida. Hal Horn pressed the investigation after Fel waqs shipped off, and had Post arrested. Post was eventually convicted and sent to the spice mines of Kessel, despite the efforts of AGR's leaders. Post's hatred of the Fels grew quite strong during his imprisonment. Several years later, after Soontir Fel defected to the New Republic, Corran Horn revealed that Ilir Post was the leader of the kidnappers who took young Fyric Fel. Post believed that he had found a way to get back at the Fels, by exposing Soontir and his wife, Wynssa Starflare. When Wes Janson, Hobbie Klivian, and Plourr Ilo tried to intercept the kidnappers, Post thought he had a chance to collect on two accounts: Fyric's and Plourr's, whom Post believed was wanted back on Eiattu. Later, hidden in his estate, Post tried to bluff his way out of an arrest by holding Fyric fel over a balcony. Todr Fel then shot Post in the forehead, and Plourr used her athletic skills to save Fyric from his two-story fall. (MBF, HXW, XWFT)

Poste, Flitcher
This small-time pickpocket and thief made a living on Nar Shaddaa, during the years following the Alliance-Confederation War. Poste was a young man about twenty-five years old, distinguished by his heavy-set body and his unruly, blond hair. He more or less raised himself in the slums of the Vertical City, and learned how to survive on his own, stealing or foraging for whatever supplies he needed. When Tobb Jadak arrived on the moon, Poste decided to see what he could steal from the man. However, when another group tried to eliminate Jadak, Poste found himself helping the newcomer escape from the thugs. He allowed Jadak to take the wheel of his speeder and maneuver the vehicle to facilitate their escape, and was amazed at his skills with the vehicle. After avoiding the other thugs, Poste decided to help Jadak, and managed to locate Bammy Decree. With Decree's help, Jadak was able to discover that the Stellar Envoy had been rebuilt as the Second Chance. Bammy also gave him the name of Rej Taunt, who was incarcerated at the Carcel prison facility. Poste was then surprised when Jadak offered him the chance to accompany him on his mission to track down the Stellar Envoy. Having never been off Nar Shaddaa, Poste agreed to the deal, which included a daring mission to steal a Colicoid witness from a trial on Holess.

Jadak's search led them to the planet Vaced, where the two posed as reporters for the Coruscant Journal. They had learned that a ship matching the description of the Stellar Envoy had once been owned by Quip Fargil, who was now living on Vaced. Fargil was a bit surprised when he learned that Poste and Jadak were not traveling with the ship's owners, but it was Poste who nearly gagged on a glass of moonshine when Fargil explained that the owners were Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo. Poste knew of Solo's exploits with the Millennium Falcon, but he had no way of telling Jadak without exposing their true identities. After taking their leave of Fargil, Poste explained the situation, and the pair traveled to the spaceport to see the ship for themselves. When Jadak set off to impersonate Fargil for an interview with the Solos, Flitcher tried to steal the Millennium Falcon. He was forced to deactivate C-3PO, who had remained on the ship while the Solos went to meet Fargil, but was later apprehended by Cynner, who had been dispatched to Vaced by Lestra Oxic to intercept Tobb Jadak.

Poste fled into the ship's superstructure and hid, allowing Cynner and Remata to try and steal the ship. The ship, however, recognized that it was being stolen, and overrode their attempts and returned to Vaced. Jadak and Poste were able to continue their charade until Jadak tried to access the ship's navigational computer, which set off the strange device Allana Solo had found in the hold. This alerted the Solos that something was odd, and they confronted Jadak about it. He was forced to reveal their true identities, but in doing so, he gained their trust when he explained the truth behind his obsession with the Millennium Falcon. This led to the discovery that the device Allana Solo had found was coded to the phrase Jadak had learned decades earlier. When entered as a code, the phrase caused the device to communicate with the ship, launching it into hyperspace and taking them to Tandun Three. There, they were joined by Lestra Oxic in one of the many ruins that were found on the planet, and the group discovered the Insignia of Unity. As the temple began to crumble around them, Oxic laid claim to the emblem, only to discover that it was a fake. Denied his prize but not defeated, Oxic offered to pay Jadak and Poste for their assistance in tracking down the real Insignia of Unity. Jadak quickly agreed, as did Poste, and they fled from the temple before it culd collapse on top of them. (MF)

Potam
This small, edible vegetable was native to the planet Ossus, where it was a favorite food of the gokob. It was also considered tasty by many humanoid beings. (LF6)

This was a fried snack food that was popular on the planet Corellia, during the height of the New Order. It was not uncommon to encounter a Corellian at large, and discover that they had a package of potato sticks in their pockets. (RF2)

Poteet
This man served the Imperial Navy as a Sector Admiral, during the early years of the New Order. It was Admiral Poteet who assigned the librarian droid P-RC-3 to the Death Star Library, in order to monitor the activities of Atour Riten. (DSTR)

Potentium
This controversial view of the Force was observed by many beings in the farthest reaches of the galaxy, especially during the last decades of the Old Republic. Also known as the Potentium Perspective, this view of the Force was originally attributed to Leor Hal, a Jedi Knight who believed that all living things held the potential to create newer and better living things. Hal believed that the Force was both the beginning and the end. Each birth represented a new form, and each death returned living beings to the Potentium for renewal. Believers in the Potentium theory held that the Force, and the galaxy in general, were given a master plan that was inherently good, and that there was no evil side to the Force. The Force did not push or draw an individual into evil. There was simply the Living Force. A being's position with in the Potentium, which was at once the beginning and the end of all things, could not be obscured by training and discipline.

Those who followed the Potentium belief claimed that the Jedi Masters of the Old Republic rejected its existence because accepting it would mean accepting that they weren't needed to combat evil. About a hundred years before the Battle of Naboo, the followers of the Potentium were forced out of the Jedi Order. The Jedi Council explained that the banished Jedi failed to understand that the Jedi Order was not about exploring the limits of the Force, but using what was known to protect peace and justice. The discovery of the living planet Zonama Sekot led many followers of the Potentium theory to believe that Sekot itself was the embodiment of the Living Force, created to safeguard its purity.

Historians in the years that followed the Clone Wars came up with several wild theories about the Potentium, including the notion that it was simply a Sith scheme to undermine the effectiveness of the Jedi Order. Other pointed out that Vergere might have adopted the ideals of the Potentium before twisting them to her own needs. Regardless of the theories, the new Jedi Order that was founded by Luke Skywalker continued to regard the Potentium as a kind of heresy. (RP, PJSB, UF, NECH, EGF, CN3)

Potentium Heretics
This was a term used to describe those former Jedi Knights and other Force-sensitive individuals who adopted the belief of the Potentium. (FJ3)

Pothman, Triv
A native of the planet Chandrila and a former Imperial stormtrooper, Pothman was part of the Eye of Palpatine mission. He was a member of the 45-stormtrooper group sent to Pzob. He was the company's armorer, and could service weapons. Unfortunately, the Gamorreans didn't like having the Empire on Pzob, and began attacking the stormtroopers. They captured Pothman early in the fighting, and kept him alive because of his knowledge of weapons. They killed off all the other stormtroopers. When the power cells of their blasts drained, they stopped watching Pothman, who promptly escaped. He had lived by himself on Pzob ever since, keeping the Gamorreans at bay while collecting all of his company's unused armor. He discovers Luke Skywalker and Cray Mingla when they were forced to crashland on Pzob, after discovering the existence of an armed base in the asteroids near the Moonflower Nebula. (COJ)

Pothor System
The Alliance fleet was assembled here during Project Shantipole. (SFS)

Potin
This Imperial Naval Lieutenant, serving on the Interdictor-class ship Black Asp, was piloting the ship's shuttle when it tried to intercept the star yacht Pulsar Skate in the Chorax System. When the Rogue Squadron of X-Wings found them there, Potin fled in his shuttle before the battle reached him. Thus, he failed to obtain any real data on where the X-Wings came from, and he received a severe reprimand upon returnig to his ship. (XWN)

Potkin, Shadday
This dark-skinned woman was one of the many Jedi Masters who fought in the final battles of the Clone Wars. In the wake of the fighting, Master Shadday escaped the initial killings of the Jedi Purge, and put out a call to any surviving Jedi to rendezvous on Kessel. Her call was answered by several Jedi, including Bultar Swan and Koffi Arana, and they set about trying to determine a course of action to take against Darth Sidious and his new apprentice, Darth Vader. Unknown to the other Jedi, however, was the fact that Master Shadday had leaked information that the Jedi were meeting on Kessel, and that Obi-Wan Kenobi would be meeting with them. She believed that the information would eventually be discovered by Vader, and that Vader would travel to Kessel in an effort to exact revenge against the Jedi Master. Although Master Shadday was right about Vader's hunger for revenge, she badly underestimated his strength. Vader proved to be more than a match for the eight Jedi gathered on Kessel, and swiftly dispatched Master Shadday and her companions. (DAG, SWP)

Potolli
The dark brown fur of this creature, native to the planet Naboo, was often used in the creation of wondrous, full-length coats and the uniforms of royalty. (COD, CVD)

Potorr, Vax
This taciturn man served in the 407th Stormtrooper Division, based on Yinchorr, nearly a century after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. A former thief who lived in the underlevels of Coruscant, Potorr experienced the worst of the terraforming that remained decades after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He grew up believing that the Galactic Alliance was responsible for the pain and suffering he endured on Coruscant, and joined the Empire at the first chance he got.

Potorr later became a member of Joker Squad, and was one of the many stormtroopers who quietly questioned their loyalty to the "Empire," after the Sith Lord Darth Krayt took control of the galaxy and exiled the former Emperor, Roan Fel. This put the squad in a hard position when they were ordered to Borosk to prevent the 908th Stormtrooper Division from defecting. Although they all knew something was wrong, Potorr and the Jokers agreed to carry out the mission.

During the second day of fighting, they breached the 908th headquarters and made their way deeper into the fortress. They questioned why the 908th's troopers stationed themselves along walkways above the floor, until Potorr inadvertently stepped on a mine. Unable to prevent the explosion, Potorr was torn apart when the mine detonated. (SWLN)

Potts, Danzigorro
This ancient Jedi student was being trained during the years leading up to the First Great Schism, some 24,500 years before the Battle of Yavin. Potts was stationed on the planet Columus when word was received that General Xendor had been killed in battle, and the Legions of Lettow had been defeated. On Columus, Potts and the other Jedi with him were faced with thirty Dark Jedi, and the two forces were evenly matched. Ultimately, only Potts survived the battles that ensued, during which time he was forced to kill his friend Blendri and her apprentice. Blendi had left the Jedi Order with her master, Jook-jook H'broozin. Potts had defeated H'broozin on Corulag, but was unable to catch up to Blendri until they met on Columus. However, Potts was badly injured in the conflict, and eventually died on Columus. Before he died, Potts made a recording that described the events that led up to his death, and the recording later became known as the Columus Data Card. (EGF)

Potwa Beer
An alcoholic brew created by the Gamorreans. (COJ)

Pouchfish

Pouchling
This was the Basic translation of the Tarasin word for an infant of their race. (LFCW)

Pouf Couch
This was a piece of form-fitting furniture manufactured during the New Republic. (SBS)

Pouffra Circuit
This was a relatively tame and fully-sanctioned series of podracing events, characterized by their fairly safe courses and low number of fatalities. It was also a proving ground for many of the racers who grew to prominence during the last decades of the Old Republic. However, many racers, including Ben Quadinaros, left the circuit too soon and floundered in the more dangerous and often cutthroat professional leagues. (IG1, PRT)

Pouncing Jax
This subspecies of the bounding jax used its ability to leap as a way to scare away predators. (SWG2P)

Pounder Mk1
This was a mid-level, starship blaster cannon that was produced by Kuat Drive Yards, during the early years of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Pounders Squadron
This team of mercenaries was based on the planet Taul, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ2)

Poundie
This unique subculture of the Minos Cluster consists of the operators of several huge smelting ships that traverse the Mestra System asteroid belt. The ships reduce the asteroid ores to shippable ingots, after miners and prospectors discover viable asteroids. During the New Order, the poundies took advantage of the lax Imperial presence to cheat miners out of their claims. The crimes of the poundies ranged from falsifying reports of the ore contents of an asteroid to simply crushing an entire asteroid - claim marker and all - without any warning to the miners. (GG6)

Pourstone
This viscous building material was used whenever speed was required in erecting a structure. It could be poured into virtually any shape, and maintained structural strength in many forms. It was often used in desert or cold environments, since it had excellent insulating properties. (E4N, E1A5, OWS)

Poussan, 'Ndrath
This young man was one of the Agamarians who were recruited to join the Alliance along with Keyan Farlander, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Distinguished by his red hair and small eyes, 'Ndrath joined the ranks of the starfighter pilots along with Farlander. 'Ndrath was killed in the Alliance attack on an Imperial fleet assigned to Operation Strike Fear near Briggia, when his X-wing collided with a TIE fighter. Farlander later questioned why Poussan was even flying during the mission, since he had been behind Farlander and others during training. Sunnar Jan-lo believed that Poussan was chosen because the Alliance needed pilots, regardless of skill or training, to carry out the mission. (XW, XWP)

Povanarian
This alien race was a member of the New Republic. (SOP)

Poviduze
This gas giant was located in the Expansion region. (SWJ5)

This small corporation produced several varieties of high-intensity power cells for use in all manner of ground-based vehicles, during the height of the New Order. PowaTek's AH-50 power cell was used by the Empire to power its AT-ST walkers. (CCS)

Power 5
This was Merr-Sonn's compact, heavy blaster pistol. It was a smaller weapon than the Flash 5 pistol, allowing for easier concealment. However, its lightweight construction also made the Power 5 slightly more fragile that the Flash 4. (EGW, AEG)

Power Blaster
This was a form of blaster weapon that required a dedicated power pack, rather than a portable power cell, to create the coherent bolts of energy that it fired. These weapons were developed on the planet Hapes, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Because of the size of the power pack, power blasters were difficult and combersome to fire, especially for any individual who had not been properly trained to fire one. (LF3)

Power Cane
This staff, produced by Palandrix Personal Protection Gear, was manufactured from high-density plastoids covered with exceptionally strong hardwoods, giving it the appearance of a simple walking cane. Hidden inside a spring-loaded compartment was a 30-centimeter stiletto blade which was attached to a power source, creating a lethal vibroblade. (GFT)

Power Chair

Power Convertor
The ignition system for a starship, the power convertor was responsible for routing power from the main power core to the propulsion units. (E5)

Power Coupling
This starship component was responsible for directing power from the power core to the hyperdrive motivator and other key onboard systems. Each power coupling provided dedicated positive and negative axes for these systems, so that power could be properly polarized. If one axis was damaged, the power coupling would fail to operate properly, and would need to be replaced in order for its connected system to function correctly. (E5, TGD)

Power Crystal
Rhis rare form of Tasar Crystal was rumored to have specific powers, either magical or healing. There were eighteen known kinds of power crystals, ranging in color from amethyst to peridot, and with patterns like tiger's eye and malachite. (SWJ15)

Power Dispersion Unit
This device regulates the power output from a repulsorlift engine. Many such engines have surges throughout their operation, which causes abrupt increases in speed. This was not a desired event, especially on swoops and speeder bikes. The power dispersion unit creates an even power pattern, which in turn keeps the vehicle at a constant rate of acceleration. (CFG)

Power Dive
This seedy, dangerous tavern was located on Ord Mantell, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (RR)

Power Droid
Box-shaped droid on two legs used as a mobile power source. (E4R)

Power Drum
This was another name for a thunder drum. (IWST, CVD)

Power Flux Surger
This device, when added to a power-consuming system, and boost the system beyond its normal specifications without overall system degradation. These devices were often used to augment starship weapons or shielding systems. (SWJ9)

Power Gem
These powerful stones emit an aura which disrupts starship energy shields, but their power faded after they were mined. They were determined to be pieces of rare meteorites which broke off from a single meteor. The pirates of Iridium used these power gems to disrupt the shields of the starships they attacked, making it easy for them to loot the defenseless ships. The pirates were eliminated by the Jedi Knights, and it was believed that the power gems were all destroyed in the battle. However, the last usable power gem was held by Raskar until someone could best him in battle and take it. What he didn't tell anyone was that the gem contained only enough power for one last use. Han Solo and Chewbacca were able to defeat Raskar and take possession of the gem, which was turned over to General Dodonna some years after the Battle of Yavin. The gem was used in a valiant attempt to disrupt the shields of the Executor by Vrad Dodonna, but the gem's failing strength only opened a small hole in its immense shields. (CSW)

Power Generator
Any device which can create power from a basic set of materials. They can be small, portable generators used to supply power to a camp, or huge devices that can keep an entire city operational. (E5)

Power Hammer
This unusual weapon resembled a huge war-hammer, but the head of the weapon contained a power source that could deliver a potent electric shock when it struck flesh. (SWGAL)

Power Harpoon
This unusual weapon was designed by Beryl Chiffonage, for use against Imperial AT-AT walkers. Chiffonage realized that the tall war machines could be tripped up if a strong enough cable was used to entwine their legs. The power harpoon consisted of a flexi-steel cable which was fired from a turret-mounted gun. The projectile end of the flexi-steel cord was connected to a fusion disk, which attached itself to almost any surface. The stationary end of the cord was temporarily connected at the ship, and could be released when the cord was securely wrapped around the walker's legs. (CCG3)

Power Mace
Similar in appearance to a standard mace, the power mace had a small energy source contained in its thick head. This energy source was used to power a small gyroscope, which added momentum to the mace whenever it was swung. Additionally, the energy source produced an electric charge which was expended whenever the spikes on the head touched flesh, adding a shock attack to any physical damage done by the weapon. (MC20)

Power Mounds of the Elders
According to legend, this was the site where the leaders of the planet Skako met to decide on how to lead their people. Very few Skakoans ever saw the Power Mounds of the Elders in person, since it was there that the Book of Boolmide was kept safe. (VIS)

POWER Party
Originated by Andra some thirteen years before the Battle of Naboo, this political faction was formed to "Preserve Our Wild Endangered Resources" on the planet Telos. POWER opposed the government's plans to give UniFy corporation control over the management and preservation of Telos' parks and wilderness areas. The party was outlawed by the government, based on the desires of Xanatos. Andra later revealed to Qui-Gon Jinn that she was the only member of the party. (DOR)

Power Pistol
An out-dated, small, handheld energy weapon. (HSL)

Power Piton
This mountain-climbing device consisted of a pair of strap-on boots and a pair of disc-shaped hand units. Using either magnetic attraction or the use of hundreds of tiny, vibrosharp projections, the user could scale sheer surfaces with minimal equipment. The magnetic setting was bst for climbing buildings and other metallic structures. The virbo setting was best for wood, duracrete, or other soft building materials. (LOE)

Power Pivot
A starfighter maneuver often associated with the X-Wing, the power pivot involves the use of a ship's lateral thrusters to affect a reversal in positioning. The X-Wing was maneuverable enough ti swing around 180 degrees, surprising an opponent who thought they were unnoticed. (CCG9)
