Golec, Davu
This man, a native of the planet Mandalore, served on the Republic Ministry of Intelligence, during the era of the Clone Wars. When Duchess Satine Kryze arrived on Coruscant to plead for Mandalorian independence, it was Davu Golec who discovered that certain statements from Deputy Minister Jerec had been falsified. While painting Duchess Satine as ineffectual, the forged statements were used by Chancellor Palpatine as the basis for launching a military occupation of the planet Mandalore. Golec secretly obtained the actual recordings of Jerec's statements, and eventually turned them over to Duchess Satine. Unfortunately, their meeting was not a complete secret, and a Mandalorian soldier managed to assassinate Golec just as he handed over the recordings. Duchess Satine was able to escape. (CWTV36)

Gorrister
This man served the Imperial Navy as a Commander aboard the Star Destroyer that was deployed to the Unknown Regions of the galaxy, as part of the development of Imperial Bioweapons Project I71A, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. When the contagion was the project's main focus escaped into the ship's atmosphere, Commander Gorrister was among the handful of crew members who proved to be immune to its effects. However, the survivors found themselves facing the re-animated corpses of their dead comrades, and were forced to hide in the relative safety of a Sentinel-class shuttle in the Star Destroyer's hangar bay. Gorrister and the other survivors were horrified when the re-animated corpses began working together to activate one of the Star Destroyer's tractor beams, using it to draw in passing starships, in an attempt to acquire new hosts and a possible way to get off the stranded Star Destroyer. The survivors lived for ten weeks by making short forays out from the shuttle to gather food, water, and weapons. When the food ran out an dit became too dangerous to move far beyond the safety of the shuttle, Gorrister and the survivors began to draw lots to determine which of them would be cannibalized in order to preserve the lives of the others.

They were eventually discovered by Captain Jareth Sartoris, who had been commanding the prison barge Purge when it experienced engine trouble near the Star Destroyer's location. Gorrister held Sartoris' attention as he explained what had happened to the ship's crew, while two of his companions injected Sartoris with a dose of Norbutal to render him unconscious and unable to resist. However, Sartoris was much stronger than the survivors anticipated, and he was able to shake of the drug's effects. Sartoris was able to grab Gorrister by the collar and ram his head into the shuttle's hatch, which had been locked to keep the corpses outside. Gorrister's skull was caved in by the impact, and Sartoris threw his dead body out to the re-animated corpses. He also threw any other survivors who tried to attack him out of the shuttle, using their bodies to distract the corpses long enough to make his way to deactivate the Star Destroyer's tractor beam. (SWDT)

This was a strong, though socially accepted, expletive that was used by Alliance personnel, during theearly years of the New Republic. (OWS)

Greeley
This man served as an engineer aboard the Imperial Prison Barge Purge, about a year before the Battle of Yavin. When the Purge experienced problems with its thrusters and was stranded in the Unknown Regions, Greeley was among the engineers who were assigned to a task force led by Jareth Sartoris to investigate the presence of an abandoned Star Destroyer in their vicinity. The hope was that drive components from the larger ship could be salvaged to help repair the Purge. During the search aboard the Star Destroyer, Greeley became violently ill, and vomited several times before developing a rattling cough that was similar to that of ICO Austin. Upon returning to the Purge, Greeley was placed in a quarantine bubble after Austin died from his illness. Unfortunately, Greeley was one of the first crew members to die after contracting the illness. (SWDT)

Gunn, Lalo
This blond-haired woman was stranded on the planet Kynachi about two years before the onset of the Clone Wars, and she decided to make the most of her situation. A trader by profession, Lalo Gunn thought that she could make a decent living on Kynachi, but discovered that the Trade Federation had taken control of the planet's commerce, and lost virtually all of her possessions. She was allowed to keep her starship, although it was grounded, so she turned it into a small restaurant that came to be known as Gunn's Diner. Lalo kept a watchful eye on the natives, and was able to use her hair coloration to blend in with the surrounding population. About a year after the Battle of Geonosis, Lalo Gunn welcomed a group of strangers into her home. The strangers, including Nuru Kungurama and three clone troopers named Breaker, Chatterbox, and Knuckles, were posing as farmers, but Lalo was able to see through their disguises. She was surprised to learn from Nuru that the galaxy was caught up in the Clone Wars, since the Trade Federation's jamming of all planetary transmissions also eliminated any incoming HoloNet connections. She also explained that the KynachTech facility was now producing droids and weapons, and that there were rumors of prison cells being hidden deep inside. The reality of the war hit home when a group of Separatist battle droids tracked Nuru and the clones to Gunn's Diner, attacking her droid Teejay before being driven off by the clones, with help from Cad Bane. With Bane's help and Lalo's knowledge, the group came up with a plan to infiltrate the KynachTech Industries factory and free any prisoners who were being held there. The mission proved largely successful, although Breaker was badly injured when the factory's self-destruction system was activated by Overseer Umbrag, and Jedi Master Ring-Sol Ambase was not found among the captives. When Nuru later communicated the situation to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, he was charged by Jedi Master Yoda to attend a diplomatic meeting between the Republic and the Chiss. Lalo Gunn agreed to take Nuru to the meeting, which was to take place at a space station in the Unknown Regions. (SM1)

Gunn's Diner
This was the name used by Lalo Gunn to describe the small restaurant she established on the planet Kynachi, after she was stranded there following a run-in with the Trade Federation. The diner was housed in the hull of her old transport ship, the Hasty Harpy, which provided her with the space needed for kitchen space, storage, and seating. (SM1)

Gwarm
This yellow-skinned Felucian lived and worked in a small settlement that grew nysillin, during the final years of the Clone Wars. (CWTV39)

Hardcase
This clone troopers served under Captain Rex, during the height of the Clone Wars. Distinguished by the broken stripes on his helmet, which were mirrored by a series of tattoos on his face, Hardcase was part of the small team that was dispatched to the planet Saleucami, during an early hunt for General Grievous. (CWT32)

Hasty Harpy
This was the name of Lalo Gunn's transport vessel, which she used in her trading business during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. About two years before the Battle of Geonosis, she tried to establish some business on the planet Kynachi, but was stranded there following a run-in with the Trade Federation. With nowhere to go, Lalo Gunn decided to convert the starship into the facilities for a restaurant that became known as Gunn's Diner. (SM1)

Heckle Wiriest Fertilizer
This was a brand of agricultural fertilizer that was produced on the planet Kynachi, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (SM1)

High Lord
This was one of the highest ranks among the Sith Lords who evolved on the planet Kesh, second only to the Grand Lord. The seven most-powerful High Lords were chosen to sit on the Sith Circle of Lords. A female Sith who was promoted to the rank of High Lord were referred to as a Lady. The High Lords were distinguished by their embroidered robes, which were beautiful to behold, but not as intricate or colorful as the robes of the Grand Lord. (FJ2)

High Seat
This was the name given to the center of the Sith culture that evolved on the planet Kesh. Located in center Circle of the city of Tahv, the High Seat served as the base of operations for the Circle of Lords. (FJ2)

Hololens
This was the generic term used to describe the specialized lens that was used on a holographic recording device. The hololens was able to gather and process light from a variety of angles, allowing the recording device to put together a three-dimensional image of what it was recording. (FJ3)

Holomural
This was a generic term used to describe any large piece of art that covered a wall or other vertical surface, and depicted a three-dimensional image. This image could be static, such as copyrighted works of art, or it could be changed by re-programming the holomural's display. (SWDT)

Holoslug
This was a slang term used by many beings, during the years that followed the Swarm War, to describe any underhanded or disreputable reporter or media agent. These individuals were known for their ability to stalk a specific individual, chronicling their every movement in an attempt to gain a major scoop by exposing the individual's personal life to the public eye. (FJ3)

Holt
This man served as a Captain in the Imperial Navy, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. Captain Holt was assigned to a task force that served under Darth Vader, which had a mission to locate and recover the ancient Force user, Celeste Morne. Vader put plans in place to ensure that the Alliance carried out much of the dangerous work in locating Morne, while ordering Captain Holt to track the Alliance's movements and ensure that they succeeded in finding Morne. When Holt's crew discovered that the Millennium Falcon was part of the small Alliance task force that traveled to Morne's location, he relayed this information to Vader and asked if there were any changes to his orders. Captain Holt was somewhat confused when Vader to him to hold his position, and to allow any rebels who fled the world to go free. Holt remained in orbit when an one of the Alliance ships sped past his Star Destroyer, but when the second vessel appeared on a collision course, Vader ordered him to open fire. Before he could relay this contradictory order, Holt and his entire crew were transformed into rakghouls by Celeste Morne, who had commandeered the rebel ship and then fled into the depths of space. Without a sane mind to control it, Holt's Star Destroyer tumbled out of control and smashed into the planetoid, killing all hands aboard when it exploded into flames. (SWRV)

Holt, Kerra
This young woman was trained to be a Jedi Knight by Vannar Treece, during the final decades of the Dark Age of the Republic, some 1,032 years before the Battle of Yavin. At just eighteen years of age, Kerra accepted a mission to travel into the areas of the galaxy that were controlled by the Sith. (SWI116)

Hoverdolly
This was a generic term used to describe any small, repulsor-equipped device that was used to move heavy or awkward objects between locations. (FJ3)

Hsoosh
This ancient language was spoken by the Falleen people, during the early periods of the civilization. Despite its antiquity, and the fact that Hsoosh had fallen out of common usage more than 2,000 years before the Second Galactic Civil War, the language remained vital as the Language of Ceremony that was used among the highest of Falleen houses. (FJ3)

Hubba Chips

Imperial Bioweapons Project I71A
Codenamed Blackwing, this project was developed by the Imperial Biological Weapons Division, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. The project, secretly funded by the Empire, was begun at a hidden research laboratory on Meglumine, until all research and development was carried out within the confines of a single Star Destroyer that was deployed to the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. The use of a Star Destroyer that was sent to the farthest reaches of the galaxy was as much an attempt to keep the project secret as it was a safety mechanism that was meant to prevent any unexpected problems from causing trouble on a planet or other world. The focus of this project was on the development of a contagion that was nearly always fatal, yet could continue to multiply and recreate more of itself even after the death of its host. The contagion was developed to quickly reproduce once it had found a suitable host, yet remain largely dormant until it had produced sufficient numbers that it could overtake its host without any possible chance of recovery by the host. Initially, the host exhibited a hacking cough, which was soon followed by seizures and vomiting. Within a few hours, the host's lungs began to fail, and the host died shortly afterward. Although the symptoms were similar in most humanoid races, there were species-specific differences. Wookiees, for example, experienced a massive swelling of the throat and tongue, which contintued until the host's throat burst open, cutting off the Wookiee's ability to breath. For these reasons, development of project I71A was halted on a laboratory on Meglumine and transferred to the remote Star Destroyer. About a year before the Battle of Yavin, the Star Destroyer was ordered to a testing facility on Khonji Seven, but the contagion escaped from its laboratory when a leak occurred in a holding container, and the entire crew of the ship was infected. Within hours, the ship was a stranded derelict, and all but a small percentage of beings who had a genetic resistance to the contagion had been killed.

The Star Destroyer was later discovered by the crew of the Imperial Prison Barge Purge, which experienced engine trouble and drifted near the ship's location in the Unknown Regions. The crew of the Purge hoped to salvage parts from the Star Destroyer, but inadvertently brought the contagin back to the barge. The crew there was similarly infected and killed, with the exception of six immune survivors. Among these survivors were Doctor Zahara Cody and Trig Longo. Doctor Cody was able to learn something about the contagion on her own, while treating the patients who arrived at her infirmary. One side effect of the contagion's ability to reproduce and overwhelm its host was the unusual re-animation of the host's body after it had died from the basic contagion. The contagion had a way to take over the nerve receptors it its host's body, firing muscles and sparking the synapses of the brain. This ensured that the contagion could continue to multiply, even though the host was essentially dead. Another unexpected side effect was the unusual behavior of a re-animated host. The contagion itself was capable of working as single units to reproduce, but as its number grew, it developed a sort of quorum sensing capability that allowed the entire population of the contagion to act toward the single goal of overwhelming the host and reproducing itself. Once the contagion had infected the brain of a host and re-animated the body, the individual corpses were little more than mindless feeding machines that existed to spread the contagion to new hosts. However, these re-animated corpses could not feed on each other, as the contagion required new, living hosts in which to breed. Thus, as more and more corpses appeared in a given area, they began to exhibit the same quorum-sensing capabilities of the contagion, which used its new hosts' abilities to find new ways to locate living beings and spread. The corpses began to learn to work together, remembering pieces of their former selves until they could regain knowledge that they had in life. Once a single member of the group learned something, the contagion was able to communicate it to other members of the group. In this way, a group of corpses would eventually learn to pool its resources in an attempt to spread the contagion beyond their current environment.

The corpses aboard the Star Destroyer found a way to activate the ship's tractor beam, and began pulling in starships, hoping to find one that was capable of transporting them to another location. Among the ships they captured was the Purge, which brought Doctor Cody and another group of beings into their grasp. The corpses realized that the Purge was the perfect escape vehicle, but the farther they got from the Star Destroyer, the less able the corpses were to continue to function. Doctor Cody realized that the farther the corpses got from the concentrated contagion stored aboard the Star Destroyer, the weaker their link became to the source. Thus, the quorum sensing that the corpses exhibited became less cohesive, and the individual corpses soon died. Cody realized that this was the primary flaw in the Blackwing operation, and the reason that a re-animated corpse continued to produce the contagion: the reanimated bodies could never move far enough away from a huge concentration of the contagion to actually threaten the entire galaxy. As it moved away from the source, the contagion began to deteriorate, and was soon unable to keep the re-animated corpse functioning. The corpse collapsed and died, and the contagion eventually expired. (SWDT)

Imperial Corrections
This branch of the Imperial armed forces was trained to handle the incarceration of criminals and other felons. Imperial Corrections Officers, or ICOs, were given enough military training to provide them with the skills and tactics needed to manage prisoners at penal facilities across the galaxy. (SWDT)

Imperial Corrections Officer
This was the title given to those Imperial officers who served aboard prison barges and at detention facilities. Known as ICOs, these individuals were charged with keeping the peace within their prison populations. ICOs were trained at a dedicated ICO Academy facility, where they were given both military and corrections training. (SWDT)

Imperial Corrections Psychological Profile Exam
This was a battery of tests that were developed by the scientists and officers of the Imperial Corrections division to assess the mental stability of both inmates and officers. Various sections and subsections of the examination tested different aspects of a being's mind, providing a detailed analysis of their mental condition. (SWDT)

Imperial Prison Barge
This was a specialized form of passenger transport vessel that was designed for the Galactic Empire. The Imperial Prison Barge was developed as a way to move prisoners - convicted criminals, political dissidents, and other suspected rebels - between holding areas and penal colonies. Each of these ships had a crew that was made up of soldiers and officers who could operate the ship and keep the prisoners in line. The average barge could accommodate some 500 captives, in addition to its crew compliment. The prisoners were housed on one of six main detention levels, each of which had up to thirty cells. The mess hall was located just above the detention levels, and the staff quarters, administration center, and infirmary were located above the mess hall. The very bottom level of the ship wwas set aside for solitary confinement. (SWDT)

Indigo Tower
Modelled after the Skysitter Restaurant - some would, shamelessly stealing from the old restaurant's style - the Indigo Tower was one of the most exclusive restaurants found on the planet Coruscant, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. Like its predecessor, the Indigo Tower's main restaurant was located atop a central building, and rotated slowly to provide diners with a view of the Coruscant skyline. The main tower was contructed from blue-black durasteel, which gave the building its name, and the interiors spaces were also decorated in deep blue colors. The décor of the restaurant was luxurious, further adding to the building's status among the elite facilities on the planet. (FJ2)

Infradryer
This was a high-powered drying system that was used on cleaning droids, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. The use of infradryers, which drew upon infrared energy, allowed cleaning droids to quickly dry an area that had recently been cleaned. (FJ3)

Inner Seers
This was one of the many groups of Force-sensitive individuals that existed in the galaxy. (FJ3)

Insane Jedi Rampage
This was the sensationalist term coined by Javis Tyrr to describe the sudden actions of many young Jedi Knights, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Beginning with Seff Hellin, Jedi started to experience strange Force-related psychoses, claiming that the Jedi who surrounded them were imposters and exhibiting unusual powers that had only been attributed to Jacen Solo. Hellin eluded capture for many months, but Valin and Jysella Horn were captured by the Galactic Alliance Security force and imprisoned in carbonite until their affliction could be remedied. The term "Insane Jedi Rampage" was first used after Natua Wan went berserk during the Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition, opening the pens that held the wild and dangerous creatures on display in an attempt to eliminate the "imposters" who had taken over the bodied of Leia Organa Solo and her gradndaughter, Allana. (FJ2)

Interface
This was a derogatory term that was sometimes used to describe a droid, during the era of the New Order. It was used to indicate that a being considered a droid as nothing more than an ambulatory computer interface, despite a droid's artificial intelligence and usefulness. (SWDT)

Invincible
This Separatist dreadnaught, under the command of Admiral Trench during the height of the Clone Wars, served as the flagship of the ring of warships that blockaded the planet Christophsis. A Republis task force, led by Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, arrived at Christophsis on a mission to deliver supplies and rescue Bail Organa. Admiral Trench discovered that the Republic's small fleet included a cloaked stealth ship, and used his knowledge of such vessels to locate it in space. Anakin dropped the cloaking device on the stealth ship long enough for Trench's gunners to get a lock on it, and Trench ordered the gunners to dropd the dreadnaught's shelds and fire their torpedoes. Skywalker allowed the incoming torpedoes to lock onto the stealth ship, then plowed toward the Invincible at top speed, dragging the torpedoes behind him. Before the Invincible's shields could be brought back online, the torpedoes that were chasing the stealth ship plowed into the Invincible's bridge, setting off a series of explosions that tore the ship apart and killed all organic beings onboard. (CWTV38)

Iope
This small world was the third moon in orbir around the distant planet of Rinn. (RF4)

Jabori
This was the term used to describe the inhabitants of the planet Jabor. (FJ3)

Jango Jumper
This was a slang term used by certain Jedi Knights, during the hight of the Clone Wars, to describe any being who attempted to flee from an encounter by leaping across a vast distance. The term referred to the fact that Jango Fett used his backpack rocket to propel himself away from multiple encounters with Obi-Wan Kenobi. (CWTV33)

Javis Tyrr Presents
This regular news broadcast was hosted by Javis Tyrr, during the years that followed the Swarm War. Tyrr rose to prominence after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, when he began following the Jedi Knights who were experiencing strange Force-related psychoses. His reports earned him a following, and spawned the series of special reports entitled Javis Tyrr Presents: The Jedi Among Us. (FJ3)

Javis Tyrr Presents: The Jedi Among Us
This series of half-hour news specials was hosted by Javis Tyrr, and was aired in the wake of the strange events surrounding Valin and Jysella Horn. Many of the early shows focused on the actions of the two Jedi when they began to experience Force-related psychoses and caused damage to public citizens and property, and took advantage of growing anti-Jedi sentiment by posing questions about the safety of the public in a world where the Jedi Order was not controlled by the government. Later shows focused on the history of the Jedi Order, in an attempt to show some measure of partiality. These shows drew poor ratings, prompting Tyrr's producers to ask for more "lively" themes for upcoming shows. (FJ2)

Jax
This clone trooper cadet was one of many who were being trained to serve as clone troopers, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Cadet Jax was stationed aboard the cruier Endurance, where he and other clones were given first-hand experience aboard a working ship during wartime. Jax befriended a fellow cadet named Lucky, who seemed to be something of a loner. When the Endurance experienced a devastating explosion in its reactor core, Jax and Lucky were able to reach an escape pod and blast away from the ship, although the pod deployed incorrectly and its maneuvering system was damaged, causing it to move off in a different direction. Jax and the other cadets inside the escape pod were dismayed to learn that Lucky was actually Boba Fett, who had tried to kill Jedi Master Mace Windu aboard the Endurance, in an attempt to avenge the death of his father, Jango Fett. Fett was rescued by Aurra Sing, who ordered the other cadets to be set adrift and abandoned in space. Jax tried to calm his fellow cadets, but was as relieved as the others were when they were rescued by Republic search vessels. (CWTV42)

Jayn
This male Phindian was one of the handful of bounty hunters and mercenaries who answered a strange call for skilled pilots, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. A veteran of many hunts, Jayn had planned to settle down with his beloved, Leilana, and move to the capital city of Laressa, but he knew that they didn't have enough credits to live there. So, he kept taking one more job, always explaining that it would be his last. Things never played out as Jayn had hoped, and Leilana eventually left him alone. Jayn had decided to answer the strange call for pilots, hoping that he could earn enough credits to finally settle down. Unknown to Jayn and the other pilots who arrived at Iope, the call had been put out by the Imperial spy known as X-7, who was hoping to find a pilot to help him eliminate Luke Skywalker. The pilots were also unaware that they were not only competing for the job, they were competing for their lives, because X-7 would only take the pilot who survived a dogfight. Jayn's ship, the Leilana's Dagger, was quickly disabled by X-7, and without engines to give him an escape, Jayn was quickly killed when X-7 destroyed the ship. (RF4)

Jedi Ambassadorial Shuttle
This specially-designed shuttle was developed for use by the Jedi Order, during the height of the Clone Wars. This shuttle had one fixed wing atop its fuselage, and two foldable wings that were mounted on the side. The central fuselage was fronted by a spherical cockpit, which gave the pilot and co-pilot a wider view of the space around the vessel. The side wings could fold up during landing, and folded down for maneuverability while in flight. A pair of landing struts provided the only stability when the shuttle was on the ground, and were supported by small repulsors that kept the ship upright. (CWTV31)

Jedi Rampage
This was the sensationalist term used by the popular media on the planet Coruscant to describe the actions of Jysella Horn, when the young Jedi Knight suddenly experienced a type of Force-related psychosis, several years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Jysella had forced her way out of the Jedi Temple and tried to run away from the other Jedi, whom she believed had been replaced with strange dopplegangers. Once free of the Temple, Jysella drew her lightsaber in order to fend off any pursuit, drawing the attention of several reporters and the Galactic Alliance Security force. The security team surrounded her, and their combined fire was enough to stun Jysella and take her into custody. Although no civilians were harmed, and there was very little property damage, Javis Tyrr used the phrase "Jedi Rampage" in his report on the incident, as much to gain readership as to further his own career. (FJ2)

Jenny
This woman was one of the many vendors who sold their wares in the central market of the planetary capital of Artorias, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Like the rest of the Artorians, Jenny was unaware that the Yuuzhan Vong had already infiltrated their homeworld. Thus, when the first shots were fired, Jenny was showing a vase to Nina Galfridian, unaware that anything was wrong until a blaster bolt struck the vase and pierced Jenny's chest. Nina and several other woman managed to drag Jenny to safety, but they were totally defenseless against the alien invaders, and were taken captive. (INV1)

Jerec
This Mandalorian man served as a Deputy Minister within the Council of Neutral Systems, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Although he was loyal to Duchess Satine Kryze of Kalevala, Jerec produced information to the Galactic Senate that claimed to prove that the Death Watch was active on the planet Mandalore. This information was revealed to the entire Galactic Senate by Chancellor Palpatine, which came as a complete surprise to Duchess Satine. Jerec's words ran countered to Duchess Satine's claims that the Death Watch was under control, but she had no time discuss the matter with Jerec, for Palpatine claimed that he had been killed in a bombing on the planet Kalevala. Duchess Satine later learned that the recording of Jerec had been falsified in order to serve as the primary evidence to support a Republic invasion of Mandalore, and the invasion was called off when the evidence was presented to the Senate. (CWTV36)

Jesse
This clone troopers served under Captain Rex, during the height of the Clone Wars. Distinguished by the Republic symbol that was painted on his helmet and tattooed on his face, Jesse was part of the small team that was dispatched to the planet Saleucami, during an early hunt for General Grievous. (CWT32)

Kaas City
This was the name of the ancient capital of the planet Dromund Kaas. The city was established in the jungles of the planet by a group of Sith Lords who survived the Great Hyperspace War, then spent twenty years making random jumps through hyperspace to elude the Old Republic and locate a suitable world on which to live. The city grew larger and more diverse over the centuries that followed, until the Treaty of Coruscant was signed, establishing the Sith as the primary power in the galaxy. However, the Sith were eventually defeated, and Kaas City was all but abandoned for many centuries. (SWORW)

Kalevala
This planet was a member of the Galactic Republic, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Some two decades before the Battle of Geonosis, the planet was plunged into a devastating civil war, and Duchess Satine Kryze was forced to flee the planet for sanctuary on Mandalore until the conflict could be resolved. The fighting was vicious, and much of the planet suffered greatly under the attacks and counter-attacks that occurred on a regular basis. (OWS, CWTV35)

Karpette
This female Rodian served as a member of the Galactic Alliance Security force, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Karpette was assigned to Captain Atar's team, and delivered a warrant for the arrest of any Jedi Knight who was deemed criminally dangerous to the Jedi Temple, following the strange actions of Bazel Warv and Yaqeel Saav'etu. (FJ3)

KDY Orbital Defense Platform
This planetary defense station was produced by Kuat Drive Yards, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong War. (FJ3)

Ke'e, Rasher
This young, female Bothan served the Galactic Alliance Security forces as a Lieutenant, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Lieutenant Rasher served under Captain Atar, and was on duty when Jaina Solo and a group of Jedi tried to enter the Galactic Alliance Storage facility where Valin and Jysella Horn were being held prisoner. Captain Atar placed Ke'e in charge of ensuring that only the Jedi, including Corran Horn, and Mirax Horn were allowed to enter the facility. Javis Tyrr was among a group of news reporters who had arrived at the facility, and Ke'e moved to block their access, until Jaina Solo demanded that they be allowed to follow the Jedi. Solo forced Ke'e to accede, asking her if she was willing to shoot the reporters while they were recording the events, in order to prevent them from entering. (FJ3)

Kep-She

Khai, Thallis
This Sith Lord was the father of Gavar Khai. (FJ2)

Khonji Seven
This remote planet was located just beyond the Brunet System. The Imperial Biological Weapons Division had planned to test the contagion that was the focus of Imperial Bioweapons Project I71A at a facility on Khonji Seven, but the Star Destroyer that was transporting the contagion never arrived. The contagion had been spread to the ship's crew when a container seal leaked, and the crew was quickly infected and killed. (SWDT)

Kilian
This man served as an Admiral in the naval forces of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Admiral Kilian was placed in command of the Venator-class Star Destroyer Endurance, which was at once a working warship and a training facility for groups of young clone cadets. When something caused the ship's reactor core to begin to tear itself apart, Admiral Kilian ordered all hands to evacuate, but remained behind. A student of the oldest naval traditions, Admiral Kilian refused to leave, preferring instead to go down with his ship. Clone Commander Ponds joined Kilian aboard the bridge of the Endurance as it plummeted toward the planet Vanqor. (CWTV42)

Killik Colony
This was another name used to describe The Colony, stemming from the fact that the members of The Colony were descendants of the Killik race. (FJ3)

King of the Hutts
This was a slang term used to describe any being who tried to be more important than they actually were. The term referred to the fact that the Hutts answered to no being, let alone a single King. (SM1)

Kix
This clone troopers served under Captain Rex, during the height of the Clone Wars. Kix was known for the unusual tattoos that covered his head, one of which was a sentence in Aurebesh that read "A good droid is a dead one." Kix was part of the small team that was dispatched to the planet Saleucami, during an early hunt for General Grievous. Kix served as the squad's field medic, and his training came in handy when Rex was shot in the chest by a battle droid. The squad brought Rex to a farm that was owned by the Twi'lek female known as Suu, who reluctantly let them tend to Rex in her barn. This allowed Kix to administer bacta to the Captain, but only after discovering that the blast that hit Rex very nearly pierced his heart. (CWT32)

Kloth
This man served as the Warden of the Imperial Prison Barge Purge, about a year before the Battle of Yavin. In order to make his office aboard the barge appear larger and more important, Kloth filled its walls with holomurals and other video screens, many of which were surplus items that he had acquired over his career. The only window in the office was a huge viewport that showed the expanse of space outside the ship, adding to the sense of grandeur. This interior design mirrored Kloth's own personal demeanor, as many of his peers regarded him has an outwardly bureaucratic man who lacked the initiative and bravery to act on his own. Kloth was known to remain mostly in his offices, especially when it was time to make majro decisions. When the Purge experienced problems with its drives while moving through the Unknown Regions, Warden Kloth and the rest of his crew were surprised to find a Star Destroyer in the immediate vicinity. The Star Destroyer appeared to have been abandoned, although a dozen life-forms were detected by the Purge's scanners. Kloth sent Captain Jareth Sartoris and an engineering crew to the Star Destroyer, hoping that some of its drive components could be salvaged to repair the Purge. Kloth explained that the mission was an opportunity for Sartoris to redeem himself, after he was accused of murdering Von Longo. The engineering crew returned with parts that could be used to repair the barge, but they also carried with them an unusual contagion that swept through the ship, killing most of its passengers in a matter of hours. Kloth himself became infected, and was confronted by Sartoris. Although Kloth tried to fight against the infection, Sartoris simply drew his blasters and shot Kloth in the head, hoping to ensure that the Warden would not spread the infection any further. (SWDT)

Knee-high
This was a slang term used by many clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe a youngling, referring to the fact that most children stood just about as tall as a trooper's knee. (CWTV39)

Knuckles
This was the nickname given to one of the clone troopers who served under Captain Lock, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Knuckles was known to his squad mates for his physical stamina, and he was unbeaten in contests to see which clone could do the most push-ups. When his unit was dispatched to the planet Kynachi, Knuckles spent most of his time in contests of strength, However, this did not prevent him from being thrown across the deck of their cruiser when they arrived at Kynachi and found the planet blockaded by Separatist naval forces. The ship came under heavy fire, and Knuckles was knocked into the door of utility locker while trying to reach an escape pod. A blue-skinned boy fell out of the locker, and Knuckles was forced to protect the youth as they made their escape with Breaker and Chatterbox. The boy turned out to be Nuru Kungurama, the Padawan apprentice of the Jedi who was commanding the mission, Ring-Sol Ambase. Knuckles muscled Nuru into an escape pod, and along with several other clone troopers, they blasted away to the planet's surface. Once there, Knuckles asked Nuru what their next actions should be, looking to the boy for leadership because he was the only Jedi around. (SM1)

Krabbis Inn
This hostel was located on the planet Coruscant, during the years that followed the Swarm War. Much of the Krabbis Inn was located below the main levels of Galactic City, allowing the owners and staff to provide tourist accommodations at cut-rate prices. In order to ensure that the inn's occupants were able to enjoy their stays, the owners of the Krabbis Inn obtained governmental approval to limit parking on its roof to only those vehicles that were owned by the occupants. (FJ3)

Kryze, Satine
This noble woman was a Duchess who hailed from the planet Kalevala. As a young woman, Satince was forced to flee from Kalevala during a period of civil war, and she was escorted to Mandalore by Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Satine and Kenobi developed a deep friendship that might have turned into something more romantic, following an adventure on Draboon, if Kenobi's vows to the Jedi Order had not been so deep. They parted ways on amicable terms, and didn't see each other for many years. During the era of the Clone Wars, Duchess Satine was named the leader of the Council of Neutral Systems, giving her the power to influence a number of star systems. However, despite the Council's stated intention of staying out of the war, rumors surfaced that Duchess Satine was amassing a huge army on the planet Mandalore. When an old acquaintence in the form of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived on Mandalore to investigate these rumors, Duchess Satine was outwardly surprised when he produced a recording of a Mandalorian terrorist who killed himself rather than be captured by Republic forces. She explained that she had been working toward a new vision of a peaceful Mandalore, but the members of the Death Watch - who had been exiled to the moon Concordia - were causing the trouble that was leading to the rumors. As if to underscore her concerns, a terrorist bombed the Peace Park that was established in Sundari, at the same moment that Duchess Satine was escorting Kenobi on a tour of the city. She then agreed to accompany Kenobi to Concordia, to return the body of the terrorist to its home and to investigate the presence of the Death Watch.

She covered for Kenobi during a dinner with Governor Pre Vizsla, claiming that Kenobi was absent because he was meditating, and not actually carrying on his own secret investigation. After Vizsla revealed that he was the leader of the Death Watch, he was defeated in combat by Kenobi, and forced to flee. Although she refused to believe that the Separatists were involved in Mandalorian politics, Duchess Satine returned to Mandalore with Kenobi and several Senators who represented the Council of Neutral Systems, and agreed to travel to Coruscant to ask for independence in dealing with the Death Watch threat. However, Duchess Satine resented the presence of Kenobi, his clones, and his former Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, aboard her transport vessel Coronet. She argued with Kenobi about this during the trip to Coruscant, and their arguments soon reached the ears of the other Senators. Unknown to most of the others aboard the ship, Senator Tal Merrik had secretly brought a group of assassin probes aboard the ship, hoping to capture Satine and silence her. When Kenobi discovered that Merrik was behind the appearance of the killing droids, Merrik grabbed Satine and used her as a hostage to make his way to the bridge. There, he killed the crew and rigged the ship's engines to explode if he wasn't allowed to escape. Merrik continued to use Duchess Satine as a living shield as he made his way to an escape pod, bt he was distracted when Kenobi arrived. Satine appeared to openly declare her love for Kenobi, and Kenobi admitted that he still loved her. With Merrik griping about their show of affection, Satine stepped on his foot and twisted in his grip, freeing herself and taking possession of Merrik's blaster.

Once safely on Coruscant, Duchess Satine addressed the Galactic Senate, explaining that the Death Watch was not a galactic concern, and that Mandalore would deal with it. Unfortunately, Chancellor Palpatine produced a recording in which Deputy Minister Jerec explained the Death Watch was much stronger than the Mandalorian government let on. Without proof of her own, Satine was forced to watch helplessly as Chancellor Palpatine called for a vote to send Republic troops to Mandalore. Storming out of the Senate Rotunda, Duchess Satine was attacked by a Mandalorian warrior, and only barely managed to leap to safety before her speeder crashed into a building. Palpatine refused to investigate the crash, since there appeared to be no evidence to support her claim of an assassination attempt. Duchess Satine's faith in the Republic was shaken, but came into serious question when the Senate voted to send Republic troops to Mandalore, without her being present. Davu Golec later provided the Duchess with intelligence that proved Deputy Minister Jerec's statements had been forged, but Satine knew that turning this data over to the Republic had to be done properly. She gave the recordings to Senator Padme' Amidala, then turned herself in after she was wanted in connection with the assassination of Davu Golec. Satine's interrogation was interrupted by Senator Amidala, who presented the actual recordings of Jerec's statements to the authorities. Although Chancellor Palpatine offered his apologies, Satine knew that there was still trouble ahead on Mandalore. (CWTV34, CWTV35, CWTV36)

Kungurama, Nuru
This young Chiss male was one of the few members of his race to ever be trained as a Jedi Knight. Nuru was apprenticed to Master Skaa during the months leading up to the Battle of Geonosis, but was reassigned to Master Ring-Sol Ambase after Master Skaa's death on Geonosis. Nuru continued to train on the planet Coruscant as the Clone Wars engulfed the galaxy, doing his best to control his emotions whiel trying to please his new Master. About a year after Geonosis, Master Ambase was asked to investigate the appearance of a KynachTech Industries circuit board found among the wreckage of the Separatist warship Malevolence, but he demanded that Nuru remain on Coruscant. This did not feel right to Nuru, because Master Skaa had also left him behind when the fighting started on Geonosis. The difference was that Master Skaa never explained that he was leaving, so Nuru appreciated Master Ambase's consideration of his feelings. Even with this gesture, however, Nuru had a distinct feeling that Master Ambase would not return from the mission, and so Nuru decided to stow away aboard Ambase's ship.

Nuru took with him the lightsaber that he had secretly constructed, hoping that his instruction with low-powered training lightsabers would be enough to keep him alive, if he were forced to use the weapon. As he boarded the ship, Nuru had to use the Force to influence a clone trooper who happened to spy him, rubbing out the clone's memory. The trip passed quickly, but when they arrived at Kynachi, they found the planet being blockaded by Separatist forces. The Separatists attacked them almost immediately, and their ship took heavy fire. Nuru, who was hidden in a utility locker, wasn't aware of what was happening until a blast rocked the ship, and a clone trooper named Knuckles that thrown into the door of the locker. The door popped open, and Knuckles was forced to drag Nuru to the nearest escape pod, where they managed to flee the ship with Chatterbox and Breaker, who had been the clone Nuru first encountered aboard their ship. Upon reaching the surface of Kynachi, the clones turned to Nuru for advice on what to do next, and Knuckles became frustrated when he didn't have an immediate answer. Nuru realized that the clones were looking at him as a Jedi, not just a student, and he quickly established a simple plan.

They made their way toward the nearest settlement, and were taken in by Lalo Gunn. Unfortunately, their presence on the planet was discovered by Trade Federation agents, and a group of battle droids were sent to eliminate them. Although Nuru felt he was up to the challenge of facing the droids, Breaker shoved him out of the way to make sure Nuru survived the attack. Nuru was glad for the effort when the group discovered that the Separatist droids who were searching for himself and the clones. Lalo Gunn then explained that the Separatists had taken over the KynachTech Industries factory, and were using it as a prison facility. With help from Cad Bane, who claimed to be simply looking for someone in the factory, Nuru and the clones devised a plan to infiltrate the factory and rescue the captives, hoping that they would be able to locate Master Ambase and any surviving clones. The mission proved successful, although Breaker was killed in the attempt when Overseer Umbrag set off the factory's self-destruction mechanism. Knuckles jokingly referred to their unit as Breakout Squad, since they were able to break the prisoners out of the factory. However, Master Ambase was not among the captives who were freed, although Cad Bane did return his lightsaber to Nuru.

Upon returning to Gunn's Diner, Nuru made contact with the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, and was surprised to meet with Jedi Master Yoda and Chancellor Palpatine, who petitioned Master Yoda to allow Nuru to serve as the Jedi representative on a diplomatic mission to meet with the Chiss. Breakout Squad was charged with protecting Nuru during the mission. (SM1)

Kynachi
This race of humans, distinguished by their golden hair, was native to the planet Kynachi. The golden color of their hair was caused by the regular diet of the Kynachi, and those individuals who spent time away from their homeworld often had hair that paled in color. (SM1)

Kynachi
This planet was the homeworld of the Kynachi people. The majority of the planet's native inhabitants made their living in farming and agriculture, although a few gifted individuals were hired by the planet's sole technology corporation, KynachTech Industries. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, much of the planet's commerce was usurped by the Trade Federation, although the Federation made every effort to keep its presence a secret from the Galactic Republic. The leadership of Kynachi chose to sever its ties to the Galactic Republic, and the planet adopted an isolationist government. Although Kynachi was outwardly neutral during the Clone Wars, pieces of KynachTech circuitry was found in the wreckage of the Separatist warship Malevolence by a squad of clone troopers from the Grand Army of the Republic. While the Republic went about launching an investigation, Separatist naval forces blockaded the planet, led by the bounty hunter Cad Bane. (SM1)

KynachTech Industries
This technology manufacturer was based on the planet Kynachi, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Although KynachTech had traditionally produced technology that applied only to peaceful uses, several circuit boards produced by the corporation were discovered in the wreckage of the Separatist warship Malevolence. Jedi Master Ring-Sol Ambase, himself a native of Kynachi, investigated this link at the request of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. The mission was launched shortly afterward, although Master Ambase and his troops found that Kynachi had been blockade by the Separatists. Ambase's Padawan, Nuru Kungurama, learned that the Trade Federation had established a foothold on the planet sometime after the Battle of Naboo, and had taken over the KynachTech factory headquarters for its own use. A transmission-jamming tower was constructed atop the main factory building, preventing any outsiders from learning that the factory had been retooled to produce combat droids and weaponry. Nuru and his clones also learned that the Federation had also constructed a prison beneath the factory. (SM1)

Lake of Apparitions
According to the Mind Walkers, the Lake of Apparitions was located near the Throne of Balance. One end of the Lake was surrounded by a low meadow that was strewn with boulders and hummocks, each of which cast a reflection on the lake. However, instead of seeing mirror images of these inanimate objects on the surface, visitors to the Lake of Apparitions saw reflections of other visitors who had come to the Lake. These reflections were visible about ten centimeters below the surface of the Lake, hovering just above the depths, and were the images of exceptionally strong beings whose Force presence had become separated from their physical bodies. However, the Mind Walkers were uncertain if the Lake of Apparitions was where these Force presences dwelt, or if it was simply a way for them to look out on those who were still connected to their bodies. Over time, most of the Force presences in the Lake seemed to depart, and no longer show themselves to new visitors. The other end of the Lake was known as the Mirror of Remembrance, and the deepest parts of the Lake were known as the Depths of Eternity. Any being who waded into the Lake of Apparitions found that the water was generally about calf high, although movement through the water caused no ripples or waves, nor was there any sound associated sloshing through the water. (FJ3)

Lampfly
This flying insect was commonly seen during the warm, summer months, when groups of lampflies flew about at night in large swarms that resembled masses of shooting stars. (FJ2)

(FJ3)

Lariats, Nat
This young, female Nautolan was one of the many Padawans who were being trained at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Nat was a friend of Nuru Kungurama, and was surprised when the young Chiss revealed that he had already built his own lightsaber. (SM1)

Lawquane, Cut
This clone trooper was one of the first to desert his post within the Grand Army of the Republic, during the early years of the New Republic. He fled military serve and got married to a pink-skinned Twi'lek named Suu, and the couple established a small farm on the planet Saleucami. They lived in relative peace for many months, tending their farm and raising Suu's two children, Shaeeah and Jekk, until a group of clones arrived at their farm, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. Cut was away on business when the clones arrived, and Suu reluctantly let them use the family's barn to tend to their injured Captain, Rex. When Cut returned home to confront the clones, he had to deal with Rex's open contempt at having abandoned the military. Cut calmly explained that he had no desire to keep on killing, and had made his choice to defend his family. Their debate continued for many hours, with both clones stating their positions and accepting the other man's opinions and beliefs. Later, Cut explained that he had left the military shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, after barely surviving an attack from a group of battle droids. The rest of his story was cut short when Shaeeah and Jekk discovered a group of commando droids in the fields, prompting Cut to defend his family. He asked Rex, who was still injured, to guard his family while he confronted the droids. A series of blasts brought part of the roof down on top of Cut, but Rex was able to blast the droids and give Cut time to free himself. In the morning, Rex and the other clones were recalled to their rendezvous point. Although he still considered Cut a deserter, Rex agreed to leave out any mention of his presence on Saleucami in his report to his commanders. (CWTV32)

Lawquane, Jekk
This young Twi'lek boy, the son of Cut and Suu Lawquane, was just three years old when the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy. The family was living on the planet Saleucami, where they tended a small farm. About a year after the Battle of Geonosis, Suu was surprised when a squad of clone troopers arrived at the farm, asking for help in tending to the wounds of their Captain, Rex. Suu reluctantly agreed to let them tend to Rex's wounds in the family's barn, and both Jekk and his older sister, Shaeeah, looked on in curious interest. Unknown to the clones, the childrens' interest was based on the fact that their adopted father, Cut, was also a clone trooper. After an evening meal, the two children went outside to play, only to discover a downed Separatist escape pod. Shaeeah accidentally activated the commando droids hidden within the escape pod, and the two children were forced to run for their lives. (CWT32)

Lawquane, Shaeeah
This young Twi'lek girl, the daughter of Cut and Suu Lawquane, was just four years old when the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy. The family was living on the planet Saleucami, where they tended a small farm. About a year after the Battle of Geonosis, Suu was surprised when a squad of clone troopers arrived at the farm, asking for help in tending to the wounds of their Captain, Rex. Suu reluctantly agreed to let them tend to Rex's wounds in the family's barn, and both Shaeeah and her younger brother, Jekk, looked on in curious interest. Unknown to the clones, the childrens' interest was based on the fact that their adopted father, Cut, was also a clone trooper. After an evening meal, the two children went outside to play, only to discover a downed Separatist escape pod. Shaeeah accidentally activated the commando droids hidden within the escape pod, and the two children were forced to run for their lives. (CWT32)

Lawquane, Suu
This pink-skinned, female Twi'lek with her her children, Shaeeah and Jekk, on the planet Saleucami, during the final years of the Old Republic. When a group of clone troopers arrived at her homestead and asked for a place to help their Captain, Suu reluctantly let them tend to his wounds in the family's barn, since her husband was away delivering goods to a nearby settlement. She did not tell the clones that her husband was actually a clone trooper himself, who went by the name Cut Lawquane. When Cut returned, he graciously welcomed the other clones into his home, despite Captain Rex's obvious displeasure with encountering a deserter. However, Rex lent his own skills to help Cut defend the Lawquane homestead from an attack by Separatist commando droids, and the two men reached an easy truce. When the other clones set off to return to their unit, Suu asked Rex if he planned to turn Cut in. She was relieved when Rex said that his report would not contain any information on the Lawquanes, ostensibly because his injuries prevented him from filing a complete report. (CWTV32)

Leilana
This female Phindian was once in a relationship with the bounty hunter Jayn. However, Jayn refused to settle down, claiming that he needed to finish one last job before they had enough credits to move to a home in the city of Laressa. One more job turned into several jobs, and Jayn refused to simply give up his career. Even though Jayn named his starship the Leilana's Dagger, she eventually left him. (RF4)

Leilana's Dagger
This was the name of Jayn's starship, named in honor of the love of Jayn's life, Leilana. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the ship was destroyed near Iope, and Jayn was killed, in a dogfight with the Imperial agent known as X-7. (RF4)

Lock
This clone trooper served as a Captain in the Grand Army of the Republic, during the era of the Clone Wars. A veteran of the Battle of Geonosis, Captain Lock and his unit were assigned to investigate the shattered hulk of the Separatist warship Malevolence, after it was discovered on a barren moon within the Kaliida Nebula. Lock and his clones were then assigned to Jedi Master Ring-Sol Ambase, who had been askde by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to investigate the appearance of KynachTech Industries circuitry aboard the Malevolence. When their task force arrived at Kynachi, it was immediately attacked by the Separatist forces that were blockading the planet, and although Lock was injured in the assault, he managed to make it to an escape pod. Note that Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Secret Mission #1 - Breakout Squad indicates that Lock sacrificed his own life to save the other clones. Months later, Lock and his squad were assigned to Jedi Master Eeth Koth. When their cruiser was attacked in the Outer Rim by General Grievous, Captain Lock and his fellow clones fought valiantly to prevent Grievous and his droids from boarding the cruiser. However, the droids were too numerous for the clones to handle, and Lock and his men were quickly cut down. This allowed Grievous to capture Master Koth and take him prisoner. (CWTV31, SM1)

Longo, Kale
This young man, along with his younger brother Trig and their father, Von, were among the prisoners who were captured by the Empire for suspected rebel activities on their homeworld of Cimarosa, more than a year before the Battle of Yavin. They were placed aboard the prison barge Purge for transport to a penal colony, and found themselves struggling to survive. Von had made a deal with Sixtus Cleft to gain a measure of safety from the gangs of thugs that formed among the general population of prisoners, but he died before sealing the deal with Cleft. Kale decided to follow up with the deal, in order to protect himself and Trig, but they found that Sixtus had been murdered by Aur Myss. Myss confronted the boys, but Kale refused to be bullied. In order to make an escape, he reached out and yanked Myss' lower lip from his face. Although the brothers managed to escape, Aur Myss placed a ten-thousand-credit bounty on their heads, knowing that one of the prisoners would eventually turn them in.

Solo and the Wookiee went with Doctor Cody, leaving Trig and Kale to monitor the escape pods. Kale thought he heard something in the corridor near them, and set out to determine what had made the noise. When he returned, Kale found that Trig had been attacked by something that had come out of the escape pods. The brothers then tried to reach Doctor Cody and the others on the bridge, but were confronted by the re-animated corpse of their father. Trig was rescued by Solo and Chewbacca, but Kale was too stunned to move. Another corpse grabbed him by the leg and inflicted a deep gash, and the combination of pain and confusion forced Kale to faint. He came to in the infirmary, where Cody was treating the injury to his leg. Kale pleaded with Cody to amputate the leg, not because of any pain, but because he could sense something growing within the wound and trying to move through the rest of his body. When Cody refused to act, Kale removed the bandages and showed her what was happening. The contagion was reproducing rapidly, taking over the flesh of his leg and moving up toward his waist and hips. Cody then made an incision in Kale's abdomen, and began removing lumps of diseased flesh in an attempt to eliminate the contagion from his body.

In the meantime, the group made their way to the derelict Star Destroyer, in an attempt to discover what was happening and make their escape. Cody carried Kale as best she could, but her slow progress meant that a group of re-animated bodies could catch up to them. The undead had learned to use weapons, and began firing at them. Unfortunately, one of the blasts hit Kale squarely in the face, taking out half of his skull and killing him instantly. Cody was forced to drop his body and run for her life, but the contagion eventually killed and then re-animated Kale's body. Trig soon caught sight of Kale and tried to follow him, unware that Kale had been taken over the by contagion. Kale then tried to attack his former brother and infect him, but Trig managed to wrestle his body to a ventilation shaft and throw it down the vent, where Kale's body was torn apart. (SWDT)

Longo, Trig
A native of the planet Cimarosa, this young man, along with his older brother Kale and their father, Von, were among the prisoners who were captured by the Empire for suspected rebel activities, more than a year before the Battle of Yavin. At nearly fourteen years old, Trig felt that he might never become the strong-willed individual his brother was. Thus, he was surprised when, with his dying breaths, his father asked him to watch out for his brother. Trig immediately said that he would, but had no idea what his father meant, and wondered if Von had been unaware of who he was talking with at the time. Trig and Kale kept to themselves as much as possible after their father's death, although Kale tried to gain them some security by striking a deal with Sixtus Cleft. Unfortunately, Cleft was murdered by his boss, Aur Myss, leaving the brothers at the mercy of the Face Gang. Kale refused to be bullied, and ripped out several of the facial piercings that cover the face of Aur Myss, earning them both a ten-thousand-credit bounty for their capture. The boys were able to escape from the Face Gang, but Myss placed a ten-thousand-credit bounty on their heads, and found a way to move into a cell next to the Longo brothers.

Just as Cody was set to open the escape pods, Trig realized that something was inside the pod, scratching to get out. The creature leapt from the escape pod and attacked Trig, but he was able to fend the creature off and find a hiding space. Kale found him a short time later, and the brothers tried to make their way back to the others. Unfortunately, they were confronted by the re-animated corpse of their father, which tried to attack them. Solo managed to grab Trig and pull him to safety, but Kale was injured when another re-animated corpse cut his leg open. Cody tried to remove the contagion as best she could, but she was unsure if she had eliminated it completed. In the meantime, the group made their way to the derelict Star Destroyer, in an attempt to discover what was happening and make their escape. Unknown to Trig, Kale was killed when a group of re-animated corpses attacked him and Doctor Cody. Thus, when he saw Kale disappear into a chamber, Trig tried to follow him. Trig found himself inside a room that was filled with mangled body parts, and was confronted by several re-animated corpses that were feeding on the flesh. He managed to escape from these corpses, but was confronted by Kale's dead body. Kale tried to attack his former brother and infect him, but Trig managed to wrestle Kale's body to a ventilation shaft and throw it into the vent, where it was torn apart.

Trig thought that his problems were over, until he was confronted by the shambling corpse of Aur Myss. Myss managed to drag Trig off a ledge overlooking the ventilation shaft, and they would have falled into a group of other corpses if Jareth Sartoris hadn't swept in with a hovercraft. Trig landed on the small vehicle with a thud, dislodging Myss and sending the Delphanian to his second death. Sartoris was accompanied by Han Solo and Chewbacca, but refused to stay with them. Instead, he ordered Trig to fly the hovercraft to the Star Destroyer's hangar bay and locate a young officer named White, before escaping from the ship. Sartoris then told Trig that Von Longo had been a good many, before jumping off the vehicle in an attempt to kill himself. The three of them were later reunited with Doctor Cody, and they found the shuttle Sartoris had told them about. White had been killed while saving Doctor Cody, leaving just four survivors from both ships. After making their escape and returning to the galactic community, Trig and Cody remained together, and traveled to various worlds to deliver the final messages from crew members that Cody had found aboard the Purge. (SWDT)

Longo, Von
This man and his two sons, Kale and Trig, were arrested by Imperial forces on their homeworld of Cimarosa and charged with being rebel agents, more than a year before the Battle of Yavin. Von, distinguished by his intense blue eyes, was an aging man who wanted nothing but the best for his family. He was known as an excellent chef to his family, and often spent a good deal of time preparing hearty breakfast meals. Much of his life was spent on the fringes of the galaxy, working among thieves and counterfeiters to buy and sell contraband. However, whenever he was home, Von made sure to spend as much time with his sons. He passed on much of his practical knowledge about how the galaxy worked, hoping to give them the skills and smarts they needed to survive, regardles of which government was in power. This did not stop the Empire from throwing them into prison, then transporting them to a penal colony aboard the prison barge Purge. In the weeks that followed, Von did his best to make sure that his sons were as safe as possible, and had planned to cut a deal with Sixtus Cleft when he was sent to the infirmary. What happened at the infirmary was unclear, but Jareth Sartoris was implicated in Von's eventual death, following a statement from Doctor Zahara Cody. His body was kept in the simple morgue aboard the ship, pending an investigation when the crew arrived at Detention Moon Gradient Seven, but the Purge experienced engine problem and was stranded in the Unknown Regions. An attempt to salvage parts from a derelict Star Destroyer led to the infection of the entire population of the Purge, and the strange contagion eventually reached Von Longo's dead body. The contagion entered his body and began to reproduce, and eventually was able to re-animated the body. Von's corpse began to move about the ship, and soon encountered his son Kale. Kale was stunned by the sudden appearance of his dead father, which allowed another re-animated corpse to infect Kale by attacking his leg. (SWDT)

Loo, Tukker Val
This Roonan Jedi Knight was among the many who were forced into military duty, during the height of the Clone Wars. (CWTV31)

Lor, Desha
This green-skinned Twi'lek female worked for the Galactic Alliance, during the years that followed the Swarm War. She was distinguished by the coloration of her skin, which was patterned with darker green stripes. An excellent student, Desha Lor was hired to work as an aide to Chief of State Natasi Daala, who was a friend of the Lor family. Desha's father was a diplomat from Ryloth, and she had spent more than a year working as an intern before being hired by the Chief of State's office. Desha was quite appreciative of the job offer, and gave every effort to make sure that she earned Daala's continued trust and confidence. This led to a difficult assignment when Wynn Dorvan, Daala's chief aide, assigned Desha with the task of tracking the locations and activities of certain key members of the Jedi Order, following the actions of Natua Wan and the chaos she caused at the Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition. (FJ2)

Lord
This was the lowest rank among those Sith Masters who ruled their civilization on the planet Kesh. These Sith were the human descendants of the survivors of the crash-landing of the Omen. Thirteen Lords were chosen to serve on the Sith Circle of Lords, along with seven High Lords, and this body of Masters was governed by the Grand Lord. (FJ2)

Loremaster
This was a title used to describe the third Darth Wyyrlok to serve under Sith Lord Darth Krayt, more than 130 years after the Battle of Yavin. The title referred to Wyyrlok's extensive knowledge of the Force, especially the Sith arts, and his immense collection of tome, scrolls, recordings, and holocrons. (SWLIC)

Lorteli, Arabelle
This Zoolli woman the judge who was appointed by the Galactic Alliance Chief of State, Natasi Daala, to preside over any legal matter that involved the Jedi Order, some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Judge Lorteli succeeded Judge Zudan and Daala's hand-picked legal counsel, during Daala's attempts to bring the Jedi Order under control. One of the first things that Judge Lorteli did was authorize the warrant for the arrest of Tahiri Veila, who had been responsible for the killing of Gilad Pellaeon during the war. Judge Lorteli was known for her exquisite taste in furniture and style, and her offices were filled with state-of-the-art LevitaRest furniture and artwork from a variety of periods of galactic history. These offices were heavily scented with the fruity that Judge Lorteli preferred. In the courtroom, however, Judge Lorteli often appeared embarrassed by her own position, and her high-pitched voice served as a reminder that she lacked any real judicial power. At the arraignment hearing followed Veila's arrest, Judge Lorteli initially refused to acknowledge Veila's lawyer, Nawara Ven, and when Ven himself refused to reveal whether he was still be paid by the Jedi Order, Lorteli explained that she would not accept him as Veila's legal counsel. Lorteli went on to question Veila directly, ignoring Ven's objections to what was obviously a formality in determining Veila's guilt. Although Judge Lorteli refused to allow Ven to continue as Veila's legal councsel, she did sign a writ that allowed a group of Jedi Masters, including Corran Horan and his wife, Mirax, to visit the carbonite-frozen bodies of their children in a Galatic Alliance prison. (FJ3)

Lovolol Cleaning Droid
This model of small, dome-shaped automaton was produced during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. Lovolol cleaning droids moved about on a small repulsorlift engine. (FJ3)

Lucky
This clone trooper cadet was one of many who were being trained to serve as clone troopers, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Known as something of a loner, Cadet Lucky was stationed aboard the cruiser Endurance, where he and other clones were given first-hand experience aboard a working ship during wartime. Lucky kept mainly to himself, although he was distinguished by his skills with the starship's weapons. Unknown to his fellow cadets, however, was the fact that Lucky was actually Boba Fett, the son of Jango Fett. Working with Aurra Sing, Fett had infiltrated the clone training program in an attempt to avenge the death of his father at the hands of Jedi Master Mace Windu. An attempt to kill Windu in his quarters backfired, and Aurra Sing ordered young Fett to destory the ship's reactor core. He was reluctant to kill innocent beings in his search for revenge, but Fett eventually agreed to destroy the reactor. (CWTV42)

Magmine
This was a generic term used to describe any bomb or explosive mine that could be attached to a metal surface with a powerful magnet. (FJ3)

Magrifle

Malastarian Council
This was the primary governing body of the Dugs who inhabited the planet Malastare, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (CWTV40)

Malevolence
This was the term used by the feral humanoids who inhabited Andeddu's Keep, during the decades that followed the Clone Wars, to describe the incredible power of the Dark Side nexus that existed in the Keep's deepest levels. The nexus emanated from the actual tomb of Darth Andeddu, which was kept hidden until a Sith Lord proved worthy enough to discover its existence from Andeddu's Holocron. (SWLIC)

Mandalorian Blockade
The Mandalorian Blockade occurred during the era of the Great Galactic War, when Mandalorian forces cut off large sections of the Hydian Way and the Rimma Trade Route. This left the Galactic Republic without a way to defend its member worlds, and brought a halt to trade and commerce to planets along both hyperroutes. Military actions proved largely ineffective, as the Mandalorians savagely held their ground. Mandalorian control of the Hydian Way and the Rimma Trade Route continued until a group of independent spacers known as the Smuggling Contingent stepped in to get supplies to impoverished worlds in the Core regions. Although their initial intentions were quite humanitarian, Hylo Visz also saw a chance to reap incredible rewards for herself and the members of the contingent. Her plan for breaking the blockade was quite simple, and involved the element of surprise, hoping that the Mandalorians would not know what to do when confronted by smugglers. Visz and the other smuggling leaders filled their largest transports with supplies and raw goods, before making hyperspace jumps to the choke points of the blockade. She timed the reversion to realspace so that the smuggling ships were no less than a parsec from the Mandalorian ships, giving the Mandalorians reason to question what was happening. In the brief time she was given, Hylo Visz ordered her ragtag fleet of attack ships to drop out of hyperspace and attack the Mandalorians. Although initially outgunned by the Mandalorians, the smuggling ships were much smaller and more manevuerable, and they were soon assisted by Republic warships from nearby worlds, after communications from the blockade told of the attack. This combined force managed to drive off the Mandalorians and smash the blockade, opening up trade once more. (SV, SWORW)

Marcy, Ione
This thin-bodied, female being was discovered by Tera Sinube and Ahsoka Tano at the apartment of Nack Movers, during the height of the Clone Wars, when the two Jedi were searching for Ahsoka's lightsaber. The two Jedi believed that Movers had purchased the weapon from Bannamu, but arrived to find that Movers had been killed by an unknown assassin. Distinguished by her pinkish skin and vertical-lidded eyes, Ione Marcy was hiding in the apartment when the Jedi arrived, and claimed to have been coming home when she discovered Movers' dead body. She went to explain that a male being had probably killed Movers, although Ahsoka discovered the obviously-female Cassie Cryar hiding in the apartment's bedroom. Sensing that she was lying, Master Sinube tried to arrest Marcy, but she bolted out of the apartment and fled the scene in an airspeeder. She then recovered Cryar, who had managed to escape from Ahsoka Tano with the lightsaber, and the pair fled into the underbelly of the city. Although they believed that they had made their way to freedom, Ione Marcy was unaware that Master Sinube had attached a tracking beacon to her clothing. Although Cryar discovered the beacon and smashed it, the Jedi were already hot on their heels, forcing the pair to flee into a crowded speeder station. A group of police droids quickly apprehended Marcy, while the two Jedi tracked down and captured Cryar a short time later. (CWTV33)

Master
This was the highest rank among the Sith who evolved on the planet Kesh, following the crash-landing of the Omen, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Those Masters who were considered leaders might be chosen to serve as Lords. (FJ2)

Maw Colony
This was the term used to describe the secret installation that was built by Natasi Daala, after the destruction of the Maw Installation and her initial defeat by the military forces of the New Republic. Daala retreated to the Maw cluster of black holes to lick her wounds and re-establish her military power. It was here that Daala amassed the so-called Maw Irregular Fleet, before she rejoined the Imperial Remnant. Daala also trained a group of intelligence agents, many of whom were Force-sensitive, to gather data about the state of the galaxy, in an attempt to understand the rest of the galaxy and determine when the time would be right to make her presence known once again. In the wake of the Second Galactic Civil War and the destruction of Centerpoint Station, many of the intelligence agents who had been scattered across the galaxy began to feel strong sensations of longing, and were driven to return to the Maw Colony. Daala refused to allow them to abandon their posts, causing many agents to believe that the war had been started to expose their positions and their own desires. These agents did whatever was necessary - stealing starships, stowing away on various ships - to return to the Maw, where they found Sinkhole Station and discovered the existence of the Mind Walkers. (FJ3)

Meat Nest
This was a term used by xenobiologists to describe the unusual habits of certain species of carnivorous insects. These insects would capture and kill their prey, then return it to their hive or burrow, where the dead body of the prey was stored in the meat nest, a kind of communal feeding chamber, for later consumption. (SWDT)

Medication Dart
This was a form of dart that could be used to administer medication to a dangerous creature or individual. The dart could be fired from a simple pistol, but this allowed a doctor or physician to treat a patient that was violent or otherwise a threat to other beings. (FJ3)

Meglumine
This planet was the site of a development laboratory that was constructed by the Imperial Biological Weapons Division, many years before the Battle of Yavin. It was here that the initial work on Imperial Bioweapons Project I71A was carried out, until further development became too dangerous for a ground-based facility. Development of the contagion was transferred to a secretly-deployed Star Destroyer, and the final product was to be tested on Khonji Seven. However, at least one transport container began to leak, allowing the contagion to get into the ship's atmosphere and infect the entire crew. The Star Destroyer was stranded in the Unknown Regions, until it was discovered by the Imperial Prison Barge Purge. (SWDT)

Merrik, Tal
This man served as the Senator from the planet Kalevala, during the height of the Clone Wars. He also served as an advisor to Duchess Satine Kryze of Kalevala, after she was named to lead the Council of Neutral Systems. This gave Senator Merrik close access to the Duchess, and he was among the handful of Senators who traveled with her to the planet Coruscant to argue for peace. Unknown to the Duchess and her escorts, who included Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, Senator Merrik was secretly working for the Separatists. It was Merrik who set a cargo of assassin probes loose on the Duchess's starship, the Coronet, during the trip to Coruscant. Although Kenobi was unaware of this, he correctly assumed that a captured assassin probe would not react when brought into contact with Senator Merrik. Upon being exposed, Merrik drew his blaster and grabbed Duchess Satine, holding her at blaster-point as a hostage while he tried to make his way to the bridge. Once there, Merrik murdered the command crew and took control of the ship, dropping it out of hyperspace to make contact with Pre Vizsla and explain that he had the situation under his control. A Separatist boarding arrived shortly afterward, but Senator Merrik decided not to take any chances on his escape. He wired the ship's engines to a remote detonator, and when Kenobi tried to capture him on the bridge, he threatened to trigger the destruction of the engines if he wasn't allowed to escape with the Duchess. When Satine and Kenobi expressed their suppressed love for each other, Merrik was momentarily distracted by the show of emotion. Satine took the opportunity to step on his foot, causing Merrik to flinch in pain. Satine managed to slip out of his grasp and grab his weapon, and Merrik quickly fond himself being held at blasterpoint. Thinking that neither the Duchess nor Kenobi would act to harm him, Merrik turned to escape, but was cut down by Skywalker, who defended his actions by stating that he had eliminated a terrorist who threatened to blow up Satine's ship.

Miele Nova
This planet was known as the located of the PanGalactic Arts Conservatory. (SWDT)

Mind Drinkers
This was the Basic translation of the term used by the Aing-Tii to describe the strange beings who lived inside Sinkhole Station near the Maw cluster of black holes. These beings preferred to call themselves Mind Walkers, referring to the way that they used the Force to leave their physical bodies behind in order to find the truth about the galaxy. (FJ2, FJ3)

Mind Walkers
This was the name chosen by those individuals who gathered at the derelict space station known as Sinkhole Station, near the Maw cluster of black holes, where they could commune with the Force in their own way. The Aing-Tii referred to these individuals as Mind Drinkers, because their devotion to their beliefs seemed to drain away their minds, instead of nurturing them. Mind Walkers were individuals from a wide range of Force users, including the Jedi Order, the Disciples of Ragnos, the Fallanassi, and dozens of other groups that discovered their ability to commune with the Force. These beings had all come to the realization that the physical world in which they lived was nothing more than a fantasy, and that the only real world existed completely within the Force. They eventually shed their individual beliefs about what the Force was, and simply accepted that the Force existed. The physical world was no longer important, since it was nothing more than a form chosen by the Force. The chose to ignore their bodies and devote their lives to entering a coma-like state in which they were connected almost directly to the Force. They twisted the Jedi Code to their own beliefs, stating that "There is no life, there is only the Force." These beings referred to their activities as mind walking, instead of mind drinking, but over time their physical bodies began to deteriorate due to a lack of sustenance and care, while the individual's mind was immersed in the Force. Within the Force, Mind Walkers discovered their Force presence, which was essentially a swirl or eddy in the Force that animated the physical body. Each Mind Walker abandoned their physical body, which they had deemed an illusion, in search of a "paradise dimension" in which there was no pain, no emotions of anger or fear, and no suffering. Instead, the Mind Walkers sought a place where they could experience the ecstacy of simply being.

The station in which they hid themselves also suffered during their prolonged periods of mind walking, and many its systems were barely operable. When Luke and Ben Skywalker discovered the station some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, they found that many of the Mind Walkers were either injured or badly under-nourished. They also learned that the station's alarms had been ringing for some twenty-seven standard months, and had started ringing just after the destruction of Centerpoint Station. This event triggered one of the greatest influxes of beings to Sinkhole Station, but it also seemed to alter the existence of the "paradise dimension" that the Mind Walkers sought. (FJ3)

Mind Walking
This was the term used by Qwallo Mode, Seek Ryontarr, and the other Force-sensitive beings who were drawn to the Maw cluster of black holes to describe the form of all-consuming meditation they performed. These individuals, who called themselves Mind Walkers, gathered within Sinkhole Station located near Stable Zone One, where they were free to follow their beliefs. The term "mind walking" stemmed from the sensation that was experienced while in a state of deep communion with the Force. Individuals explained that when they tried to move their Force presence within the Force itself, they seemed to be at their destination without actually trying to get there, as if they only had to think about moving in order to do it. The Mind Walkers believed that life itself was only a dream, and that their bodies were simply ghosts from an endless sleep. They preferred to stay in their meditative state, forgoing nutrition and other physical needs, in order to live in the netherworld of their minds' connection to the Force. This meant that the beings who engaged in mind walking literally starved themselves to death in order to avoid staying in the "dream world" of life. For this reason, the Aing-Tii referred to those individuals who practiced mind walking as Mind Drinkers, because they allowed their minds to be consumed by the Force, to the detriment of their bodies. The Mind Walkers, however, claimed that the Force would sustain their bodies until they returned to them. (FJ3)

Minker, Radd
This male Brubb was one of the many Jedi Knights who served the galaxy, during the years that followed the Second Galactic Civil War. Minker was one of the first Jedi to realize that Jysella Horn was experiencing a strange affliction, when she suddenly attacked him in the Jedi Temple. He was forced to draw his lightsaber in order to defend himself, and Jysella was able to force him into a room and lock it. Although he was trapped, Minker was able to use his lightsaber to cut his way out. Later, Radd was one of two Jedi Knights, along with Natua Wan, 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 outing began well enough, Natua began to experience one of the Force psychoses that was affecting many young Jedi Knights. She tried to reach the control center of the Grand Event Center and open all the creature pens, hoping to either trap or kill all of the "imposters" she saw in the crowd. Jaina Solo joined the others as they tried to capture Natua, and it was Jaina's distraction that allowed Radd to sneak up behind Natua and jump onto her. He kept himself from using the Force, so as not to alert Natua to his presence, then rammed his head into her skull, knocking her unconscious. Although the at proved to be quite effective, Radd was nonetheless embarrassed at having hit Natua so unceremoniously. In the days that followed, it was Radd Minker who suggested to Han and Leia Solo that they take one of the nexy cubs that had been orphaned at the livestock show as a pet for their granddaughter. Radd explained that it was only right for the Solos to take in the cub, as a way of showing justice to nature. (FJ2)

Mirror of Remembrance
According to the Mind Walkers, the Mirror of Remembrance was located at the far end of the Lake of Apparitions. (FJ3)

Mists of Forgetfulness
According to the Mind Walkers, the Mists of Forgetfulness were on the far borders of the world that had been created by Abeloth, a powerful Force presence that existed in the Maw cluster of black holes. The Mists of Forgetfulness lay beyond the Lake of Apparitions, although the path to reach them was difficult to navigate. Only the strongest Force users could break through the illusion that the Mists never got any closer, no matter how long one walked toward them. (FJ3)

Mixer
This clone trooper was part of the unit that was assigned to protect Duchess Satine Kryze of Kalevala, when she traveled to Coruscant to plead for peace, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. The clones were under the command of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Commander Cody, and were assigned to patrol duty aboard the transport vessel Coronet during the Duchess's trip to Coruscant. However, during a regular sweep of the ship's cargo holds, Mixer and Redeye were attacked and killed by an assassin droid. (CWTV35)

Mobile Chapter
This was a joking term used by Ben Skywalker to describe the Jade Shadow, when he and his father, Luke, spent several months in exile. Luke had accepted a ten-year exile from the Jedi Order at the insistence of Chief of State Natasi Daala, in an attempt to restore the galaxy in the wake of the Second Galactic Civil War. Ben accompanied his father aboard the ship, hoping to reconnect with him after being in the company of Jacen Solo. However, Luke insisted that they both continue to train and study as Jedi, prompting Ben to remark that the Jade Shadow had become a Mobile Chapter of the Jedi academy. (FJ2)

Mode, Qwallo
This young Duros was one of the Jedi Knights who served the galaxy during the years that followed the Swarm War. About a year after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, Qwallo Mode disappeared on a regular courier run in the Tapani Sector. When a thorough investigation turned up no evidence of his whereabouts, the Jedi Council was forced to conclude that he had died while on the mission. When Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, traveled to the Maw cluster of black holes about a year later, they discovered a being who bore an uncanny resemblance to Qwallo Mode floating in the area known as Stable Zone One. The being they encountered was floating in space without any form of protection, and fired a portable missile launcher at the Jade Shadow as it moved through the space between two black holes. The Skywalkers survived, and reached Sinkhole Station, a strange, derelict space station hidden within the Maw. There, they encountered another being that looked like Qwallo Mode, although this time the being appeared to have been at the station for some time. Blood loss from a thigh injury had left the Duros quite pale, and his emaciated body gave the impression that he had not eaten in a long time. The Skywalkers fixed the injury to his leg, but Mode did not rouse from his state of slumber. Qwallo eventually returned to consciousness during the treatment, and demanded to return to the mind walking that he was engaged with. Luke agreed to let him return, but asked him about the mission and his disappearance. Qeallo Mode revealed that he had experienced a moment of confusion during the mission, and that he had the distinct feeling that everyone around him had been replaced by imposters. This correlated with the strange Force-related psychoses that were being experienced the young Jedi Knights who had been kept safe at Shelter base, although it gave the Skywalkers more questions than answers. (FJ3)

Mookey
This was a slang term used during the years that followed the Swarm War to describe any being who was acting crazily or insanely. (FJ3)

Moorja Badlands
This barren wasteland, found on the planet Moorja, was known for the unusual soil that covered its expanses. This soil was filled with photoreactive elements and electrostatic compounds that made it impossible for life to exist in the Badlands. The photoreactive properties caused the soil to shift in response to the orbit of Moorja's star, with the soil seeming to move in order to remain in the light. (CWOC2)

Morgue Rot
This was a term used to describe the deterioration of a dead body when it was left in a too-warm morgue. The skin turned mottled in color, as the body's fluids settled and putrified. (SWDT)

Movers, Nack
This Trandoshan was a noted killer and thug who inhabited the G17 district of Coruscant' Galactic City, during the final years of the Old Republic. During the height of the Clone Wars, Movers purchased a working Jedi lightsaber from Bannamu, unaware that the weapon's owner, Ahsoka Tano, was still alive and was searching for the weapon. Unfortunately for Ahsoka, by the time she and Jedi Master Tera Sinube reached Movers' apartment, he had already been killed. The two Jedi discovered Ione Marcy at the apartment, and although the thin being claimed that she had found Movers already dead, Master Sinube sensed something different in the Force. The Jedi later discovered that Marcy had been working with Cassie Cryar at the time, and that the pair had killed Nack Movers in order to steal the lightsaber. The Jedi were able to track down the two female criminals and apprehend them. (CWTV33)

Muk Muk Monkey
This was another name used to describe Pilf Mukmuk. (CWTV39)

Murk
This slang term was used by the youth of the galaxy, during the years that followed the Swarm War, to describe anything that was dreary or gloomy, either in appearance or perception, as in "That was pretty murk." (FJ3)

Musk
This Nikto worked as an enforcer for Barrga the Hutt, during the era of the Great Galactic War. During a transport from Nar Shaddaa to Corellia aboard the Crimson Fleece, Musk bragged about having been one of the thieves who stole a fortune in credits from the Star Cluster Casino. However, in his attempt to impress Hylo Visz with his supposed exploits, Musk referred to the casino as the Star Cluster Cantina, alerting Visz to the obvious lie. Musk and his Weequay partner had been assigned to the ship by Barrga himself, in order to protect the cargo that Visz was carrying for the Hutt. (SV)

Mynock Stew
This was a disgusting dish that was created from the flesh of mynocks. (FJ3)

Myss, Aur
This Delphanian criminal was the leader of the Face Gang that formed aboard the prison barge Purge, about a year before the Battle of Yavin. Although the Face Gang was formed as a work crew, Aur Myss and his lieutenants made no effort to hide the fact that they were also the strongest of the gangs that roamed the ship's Gen Pop areas. In order to maintain his position of power, Myss dealt with his enemies in brutal fashion. His actions were not reserved for the general prisoner population, as evidenced by the fact that he had his chief lieutenant, Sixtus Cleft, executed after it was learned that Sixtus was making deals with other groups of prisoners. Among the prisoners who were working with Cleft were Kale and Trig Longo, who found themselves in deep trouble for their dealings with Sixtus. Rather than bow to Myss's demands, however, Kale Longo reached out and grabbed Myss by the jewelry that hung from his face and pulled, ripping Myss' lower lip off. This gave the brothers a chance to escape, but Myss knew that they could not go very far. He placed a ten-thousand-credit bounty on the Longos' heads, knowing that someone on the ship would turn them in. Myss then arranged to have himself transferred to a detention cell that was next to the cell that contained the Longo brothers, in order to further terrorize them into submission.

When the Purge experienced engine trouble and a repair crew was dispatched to a derelict ship to salvage parts, they brought back with them a strange contagion that swept through the ship. Within hours, prisoners and officers alike were dying from the infection, including Myss himself. Without someone to monitor them, the locks on the detention cell bars were opened, and Myss made his move to kill the brothers. He attacked Kale first, giving Trig on opportunity to eliminate the Delphanian by strangling him. Myss, who seemed to have been infected, whirled around and grabbed Trig, but this allowed Kale to pick up a knife and stab Myss in the skull, killing him instantly. However, the contagion inside Myss' body eventually reproduced in sufficient numbers to re-animate his corpse, and the shambling body set out to kill any other survivors and infect them with the contagion. When the survivors made their way to the derelict Star Destroyer, Myss was able to follow them, and soon hunted down Trig Longo. Myss might have killed Trig when their struggle took them to a wide ventilation shaft and they fell into its depths, but Trig was rescued by Jareth Sartoris, who had located a hovercraft and swooped in to catch the youth. The impact of hitting the shuttle dislodged Aur Myss, and the Delphanian fell to his second death. (SWDT)

Namnats
This Kynachi man and his friend, Wevil, tried to harass Nuru Kungurama and the clone troopers who supported him after they crash-landed on the planet Kynachi, during the height of the Clone Wars. Nuru and the clones were posing as unemployed farmers, prompting Wevil and Namnats to confront them and warn them that farmers were not necessarily welcome in their town. (SM1)

Nargi-class Pursuit Frigate
The Nargi-class pursuit frigate was developed during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong War, to serve as point vessels as part of a planetary air traffic control fleet. These ships were equipped with state-of-the-art Slayn & Korpil ion drives that made them fast and maneuverable, and they were armed with enough firepower to prevent an illegal ship from causing trouble in the prescribed spacelanes. The Nargi-class vessel was distinguished by its needle-shaped hull and double-nose design. (FJ3)

Nath Goordi
The heirs to this planet's royal family were kidnapped during a succession dispute, and Seek Ryontarr was chosen by the Jedi Council to lead a rescue attempt. Unfortunately, Ryontarr vanished during the mission, and the heirs were never seen again. This set off a devastating war of succession on the planet. (FJ3)

Nath Goordian
This alien race was native to the planet Nath Goordi. (FJ3)

Needmo, Perre
This elderly Chevin hosted The Perre Needmo Newshour on the Coruscant HoloNet, during the years that followed the Swarm War. Like most members of his species, Perre Needmo's face was dominated by a large snout, although most beings tended to remember the tufts of silver hair that sprouted from the crown of his skull and his chin. The news show that Needmo hosted was quite popular following the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, primarily because a good portion of the broadcast focused on news that was actually good, and not the violence and other misanthropic events that tended to dominate other newscasts. Needmo aired one of the first stories that described the Galactic Alliance's arrest of Tahiri Veila, following the resignations of Melari Ruxon and Reeqo, in which he openly questioned how the resignations of many Jedi Knights might affect both the Jedi Order and the stability of the government that ws being run by Chief of State Natasi Daala. Needmo later covered the events that surrounded the Millennium Falcon's erratic departure from a Coruscant spaceport, when it appeared that Galactic City Air Traffic Control ships fired on the civilian vessel, raising several alarmed questions about the activities of the Galactic Alliance.

This was the nickname used by one of the clone troopers who accompanied Jedi Master Ring-Sol Ambase to the planet Kynachi, during the height of the Clone Wars, to investigate the appearance of KynachTech Industries circuitry aboard the Separatist warship Malevolence. When their ship arrived at Kynachi, it was ambushed by Separatist forces, and the crew was forced to abandon their cruiser. No-Nines was one of the clone troopers who got into an escape pod with Master Ambase, although the pod's location was lost in the chaos. Their pod crashed into the surface of Kynachi, and although the clones were largely unharmed, Master Ambase was knocked unconscious and had to be carrier to their rendezvous point. Unfortunately, Master Ambase and the clones were located by a Separatist patrol. The clones were taken to the prison facility deep within the KynachTech factory, and were later rescued by the members of the newly-named Breakout Squad. (SM1)

Like her brother Valin, Jysella experienced a sudden feeling that everyone around her had been replaced by a doppleganger, and she lashed out at Natua in an attempt to defeat what she perceived was an imposter. (FJ2)

Noua
This was the primary settlement found within the Noua Archipelago of islands, which were located on the planet Telerath. Its location in one of Telerath's crystal-clear oceans earned Noua the nickname "the Gem of Telerath". However, during the era of the Clone Wars, criminal gangs began asserting themselves in Noua, and soon had taken control of the settlement's underworld. (DT3)

Noua Archipelago
This island chain was located on the planet Telerath. (DT3)

Nutripaste
This thick paste was developed during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War to serve as a base for meals that were prepared by starship owners while traveling through space. Although it could be consumed in its raw state, nutripaste was often added to simple dishes in order to add vitamins, minerals, and other essential elements to the meals that were consumed on long flights through space. The use of nutripaste helped to ensure that travelers received proper nutrition while in space, where processed foods were often consumed in the place of properly-prepared meals. (FJ3)

Nysillin
This plant, which was native to the planet Felucia, was grown for its many medicial uses. (CWTV39)

Obi

Operation Caranak
Named for a obstinate water bird that was native to the Forest Moon of Endor, this was the tongue-in-cheek term used by Jagged Fel to describe one of the clandestine missions he undertook with Jaina Solo, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. The pair were forced to use such stealth tactics after their relationship became public knowledge, and reporters started to follow them everywhere. Outwardly, Operation Caranak was supposed to look like a dinner date between them, hoping to throw reporters off their trail when their rendezvous looked like nothing more than a meal. Jagged's role at dinner was played by Karn Valanti, while Jaina was portrayed by Lina Zev. Jaina and Jagged called ahead to make private dinner reservations at the Indigo Tower, where Valanti and Zev were already in position. Any reporters who followed the pair would be forced to wait outside their private dining room, allowing Jaina and Jag to slip out the back while Valanti and Zev had a romantic meal together. Any reporter who managed to sneak a recording device into the dining room merely caught a young couple having dinner, unaware that their actual targets were no longer in the restaurant. Thus, any reporters who happened to follow the couple were led on a wild caranak chase. (FJ2)

Oppressor
This was the name of Lord Angral's massive, block-shaped battle cruiser. During the months that followed the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, Lord Angral took the Oppressor to Dantooine. (TOP3)

Palem Graser Office Tower
This massive edifice was constructed a kilometer from the Galactic Justice Center, on the planet Coruscant, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. The Graser Tower, as it was commonly known, contained offices for various lobbying groups that worked with the Senators and other politicians who served in the Galactic Senate. However, Chief of State Natasi Daala had a secret prison facility established in the non-descript Galactic Alliance Storage building across the skylane, as part of a plan that called for the psychological deterrence of crime by hiding the prison in plain sight. The prison facility's location was meant to ensure that the lobbying organizations were going to be in serious trouble if they began working for the wrong beings. (FJ3)

PanGalactic Arts Conservatory
This prestigious art instruction center was located on Miele Nova, during the height of the New Order. It attracted the most talented artists in a wide variety of styles and techniques from across the galaxy. (SWDT)

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

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

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

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

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

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

Path of True Enlightenment
This was another name for the Path of Enlightenment, which was recognized by the Aing-Tii. (FJ3)

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

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

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

Pedbridge
Similar to a pedwalk, a pedbridge used a moving conveyor to transport beings from one location to another. Pedbridges connected locations on either side of roadways and skylanes, providing a shortcut for beings who were moving between two distant locations. (FJ3)

Peeper
This was a slang term used by criminals and military agents to describe any surveillance technology or personnel who might be spying on them. (FJ3)

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

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

PharmCom
This pharmaceutical producer rose to prominence on the planet Coruscant, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. PharmCom established several orbital processing plants in orbit around the planet, where its research and development teams could take advantage of the zero-gravity environment. (FJ3)

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

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

Pillar Fungus
This unusual species of fungus was discovered on a remote, jungle-covered planetoid near the Maw cluster of black holes by Lady Olaris Rhea and her Sith crew, during their search for the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship. Pillar fungi, which were named for their huge size and shape, were one of the small number of plants encountered by the Sith that were not predatory or carnivorous. (FJ3)

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

Plastifiber
This strong, durable plastic was developed during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. The aligned fibers gave the material a high tensile strength, which made it perfect for use in manufacturing wrist restraints that could be looped over a being's hands and quickly cinched up. (FJ3)

Pocket
This was the name Wynn Dorvan used to describe his pet chitlik. Dorvan was allowed to bring the creature with him wherever he went, despite that fact that pets and other creatures were not allowed in government locations, because Chief of State Natasi Daala overlooked it due to Dorvan's own dedication to her office. (FJ2)

Polar Water
This bottled water was supposedly produced from the frozen ice that was found at the poles of the planet Coruscant. Made available during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War, polar water was especially expensive, since very little remained of Coruscant's polar icecaps. (FJ3)

Pollo, Fallon
This grizzled, old man was one of the handful of pilots who survived the tests of Imperial agent X-7, who gathered a group of pilots near Iope to test out their skills. X-7 was searching for Luke Skywalker, during the months that followed the Battle of Yavin, and hoped that he could take advantage of the galaxy's best pilots to help him hunt down and eliminate Skywalker. Pollo was a life-long pilot who hoped to take on a job that would earn him enough credits to retire in relative comfort and ease, and spent ten years in pursuit of this dream job. When he found the job and completed it, however, Pollo found that retirement was not for him. He liked flying too much, and being retired meant more boredom than he could handle, so he decided to take the offer from X-7. Pollo and three other pilots - Div, Clea Sook, and Grish B'reen - managed to survive X-7's tests, and were given the opportunity to hunt down Skywalker. Their first encounter with Skywalker took place over the planet Kamino, but Pollo's Preybird fighter was shot down during the ambush. He crashed into one of the structures that made up Research City, and barely survived the explosion of his ship. As it was, he suffered a deep cut to one of his legs, and he was forced to limp to safety. However, his arrival on Kamino had attracted the attention of the strange creature that lived beneath Research City, and the creature attacked and consumed Pollo before he could draw his weapon to defend himself. (RF4)

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)
