THANKS TO:

Special thanks to Alec Usticke for helping with various odds & ends. Profound thanks to Mike Beidler for
his help with the Windows version -- both for designing the main logo and for providing a model which I
shamelessly copied. Obsequious thanks to Ryan Silva for his gorgeous Planetary Alphabet -- the only
complaint I have with Ryan is that he made the rest of the Write version look lousy in comparison. Extra-
super thanks to Kevin Anderson, Tom Veitch, Ryder Windham, Charlene Newcomb, Patricia Jackson, and
Craig Robert Carey, who were kind enough to comment on "their" planets.

Questions, thoughts, complaints, suggestions, and Sea Monkeys should be sent to otterpop1@aol.com, or

Aar
Aar, located on the opposite side of the galaxy from Hutt Space, is the homeworld of the skin-changing
reptiloid species known as the Aar'aa. In their natural state the reptiles possess grayish-tan pebbly skin,
with sharp claws and frills running across their heads and down their backs. Aar'aa can change their skin
color to perfectly match any background, making them masters of camoflague. . [PS]

Aargau
A banking world famous for its beautiful Dragonbird Gardens. It was on Aargau, during a week-long
conference, that Baron Tagge and the heads of the Corporate Sector companies first formed the Corporate
Sector Authority. During the Imperial Mutiny six years after the Battle of Endor, Aargau protected itself by
becoming a "Fortress World," guarded by planetary shields and hundreds of defensive ships. [DESB,
CSSB]

Abbaji
The famous hundred meter-tall firethorn trees only grow in a single grove of the Irugian Rain Forest on the
planet Abbaji. Prince Xizor, head of the Black Sun criminal organization, was once given a 600 year-old
dwarf firethorn tree as a peace offering by a business rival. The small firethorn, less than half a meter high,
had been in the donor's family for ten generations and was considered by Xizor to be one of his most prized
possessions. [SOTE]

Abregado-rae
Abregado-rae, located in the Abregado system and site of the Abregado-rae Spaceport, is controlled by an
oppressive government which has kept the peace and improved the local spaceport facilities at the expense
of individual freedoms. The planet's government has cut off all supply lines to a clan of rebellious hill
people, which has created illegal supply opportunities for ambitious smugglers. Han Solo and Lando
Calrissian met up with a contact from Talon Karrde's smuggling organization in Abregado-rae's LoBue
cantina, and Wedge Antilles later helped get one of Karrde's ships out of impoundment from the planet.
The natives of Abregado-rae are referred to as Gados. [HTTE, DFR]

Abrion sector
The Abrion sector contains the planet Ukio, which is one of the top five producers of foodstuffs in the New
Republic. When Ukio was captured by Grand Admiral Thrawn it had serious repercussions on the sector.
[LC]

Abyss
One star in the binary pair Byss and Abyss, which are both orbited by the desert planet Byss in an unusual,
figure-eight pattern. [GG4]

Adarlon
Adarlon contains the city of Belrand. The famous actress Neile Janna returned to Adarlon to resume her
career after a twenty-year retirement, planning to play the role of legendary Hydian Way trailblazer Freia
Kallea. [SWAJ]

Adega system
The Adega system, one of the six remaining Auril systems, contains two suns which the planet Ossus orbits
in a figure-eight trajectory. The system is the main source of Ilum crystals (sometimes called Adegan
crystals) which were used in the earliest Jedi lightsabers. Bodo Baas, gatekeeper of a Jedi Holocron, was
part of a group of Jedi that lived six hundred years ago in the Adega system. Indigenous life in the system
includes the Adegan eel. [DE, DLOS, DE2]

Adin
A onetime Imperial stronghold. Senator Meido, a former Imperial official, was elected to the New
Republic Senate thirteen years after the Battle of Endor. Meido was the first senator to represent the planet
in the New Republic government. [NR]

Af'El
A large, high-gravity, seldom-visited world orbiting the ultraviolet supergiant Ka'Dedus. Af'El has no
ozone layer and ultraviolet light passes freely to the surface, while other light wavelengths are blocked by
the heavy gases in the planet's atmosphere. Thus, all lifeforms on Af'El can only see in ultraviolet light
ranges, and are blind to other wavelengths of light. Af'El is the homeworld of the Defel, or "wraiths,"
whose bodies absorb visible light, giving them the appearance of shadows. The Defel live in underground
cities to escape Af'El's violent storms. A main export of the planet is the metal meleenium (used in
durasteel), which is only known to exist on the planet. According to Beldorian the Hutt, Jedi Knights used
to train on Af'El due to its lack of visible light. [GG4, POT]

Agamar
Agamar is a colony world located in the Lahara sector in the Outer Rim. Agamar's difficult conditions took
a toll on the original colonists, and some of their descendants began to abandon the world approximately a
century later. The woeful tales of hardship spread by these expatriates earned the Agamarians a reputation
for stupidity and made them the near-universal butt of rude jokes. The stereotypical garb of an Agamarian
colonist is a heavy brown poncho and a broad-brimmed hat. The planet's cities include the large
municipality of Calna Muun and the backwater town of Tondatha, which was wiped out by the Empire for
harboring Rebel collaborators. Binka trees grow on the planet, and are so competitive that the trees in
binka forests grow widely-spaced apart. A traditional Agamarian dish is mugruebe stew, which is made
from bark, roots, and meat. Approximately four years after the Battle of Endor, Wraith Squadron pilots
Wedge Antilles, Garik "Face" Loran, and Myn Donos infiltrated the planet Storinal by posing as ignorant
farmers from Agamar. The famous Rebel Alliance pilot Keyan Farlander and New Republic captain
Choday Hrakness are both natives of Agamar. [FP, XWWS]

Aguarl 3
An ocean-covered world that was home to a Rebel base. The underwater base was attacked by a wing of
TIE bombers, after the Empire learned its location from a Quarren spy. [ROC]

Aida
A lightly-populated Imperial world, Aida is located in the system of the same name near the Lomabu
system. In an effort to trap Alliance agents, Io Desnand, Imperial governor of the Aida system, shipped
several hundred Wookiees to the neighboring planet of Lomabu III and imprisoned them there, planning to
kill them all during a staged attack designed to attract Rebel rescuers. Immediately after the Battle of Hoth,
the bounty hunters Chenlambec and Tinian I'att convinced Bossk to join them in a search for Han Solo. In
the Aida system, Chen located a Wookiee waypost that gave them the coordinates of the Lomabu system.
While at Lomabu III, Tinian and Chen doublecrossed Bossk and turned him over to Governor Desnand of
Aida. [TBH]

Aikhibba
Aikhibba, in the system of the same name, is home to the ganglord Spadda the Hutt. The system is one of
the minor stopping points on the smugglers' Gamor Run. The smuggler Lo Khan once delivered a cargo of
spice to Spadda from the royal governor of the Thokosia system. [DESB]

Akrit'tar
One of Han Solo's former smuggling associates, Tregga, was imprisoned on Akrit'tar and sentenced to life
at hard labor after being caught with a smuggled cargo of chak-root. Later, after Rogue Squadron pilot
Tycho Celchu was brainwashed and imprisoned in Lusankya by the Empire, his captors shipped him to the
penal facility on Akrit'tar. After three months, Celchu escaped and returned to the Rebel Alliance. [HSR,
XWWG]

Alderaan system
The Alderaan system once contained the planets Alderaan and Delaya, though Alderaan has since been
destroyed. [SWAJ]

Alderaan
Alderaan, which once shared the Alderaan system with its uninhabited sister planet Delaya, was a beautiful,
peaceful, moonless planet and one of the foremost worlds of the inner systems. Its sweeping steppes and
gentle hills were covered with rich grasslands, and weather patterns were predictable and pleasant. Though
the planet lacked oceans, Alderaan had many shallow lake chains and one ice-rimmed polar sea. The
various species of grasses covering the plains numbered more than 8000, and colorful flowers (including
arallutes, T'iil, and Alderaan flame-lilies) were even more numerous. In late summer as the grasses dried,
their seeds would be swept up by the winds in impressive "seedstorms," which were sometimes thick
enough to prevent air travel. Alderaanian rainbow wood was a popular planetary export. Animal life on
the world included huge saillike thrantas -- docile lighter-than-air beasts which were used as mounts and
airborne taxis by Alderaan's inhabitants. Other animals included stilt-legged flightless birds, cooing,
twittering densions, and armored caterpillars, which metamorphosed into furry moths after a dozen years of
living underground. Domesticated grazers and nerfs were raised as food sources, and every year lowly nerf
herders would travel into the cities to sell their animals' meat. The Alderaanians culled the wildlife herds
on the continent of Thonn to remove those animals too sick to survive the winter.

Some of the galaxy's greatest artists and thinkers came from Alderaan, and the world was often considered
the center of galactic culture. The planet had negligible pollution and crime, and all weapons were banned.
Certain artists used Alderaan's wide grasslands as their canvases, planting seeds in intricate patterns and
displaying their art as it grew and blossomed. A traditional cultural ritual was the Ceremony of Waters, and
one of the world's greatest holidays was the "Silver Flow," celebrated each spring when thousands of
hatching glimmerfish choked the waterways. Points of interest on Alderaan included the oro woods, which
covered a dozen small islands in the planet's largest inland sea. The woods, dubbed a planetary treasure by
Alderaan's government, were filled with trees hundreds of meters tall covered with brightly-colored
lichens, and harbored gold-striped red deer and white cairoka birds. Elsewhere, on the northern steppes at
the edge of Alderaan's great plains, lay the ancient and mysterious ruins collectively known as the Castle
Lands. The ruins, former colony hives built by the long-vanished insectoid Killik race, were concentrated
in eighteen groupings, each unique in appearance and each constructed during a different age. While
Alderaan's human inhabitants chose to leave the Castle Lands intact, many artists often traveled there to
seek creative inspiration. In other areas of the planet, some particularly clear, deep lakes were used as
aquatic preserves where tourists could observe underwater mud castles built by crustacean colonies. Other
landmarks included Wuitho Trifalls and the Triplehorn mountains. The low-grade, blue quella gem is
found only on Alderaan and Delaya.

Out of their respect for life, the Alderaanian colonists refused to build their cities in the grasses of the
fields. Instead, organic-looking cities and industries were built into the sides of deep cracks in the surface,
on top of sandstone hills, under the polar ice, or on stilts in the planet's shallow seas. Terrarium City, also
known as the City Under Glass, was built by first excavating an enormous bowl and filling it with a liquid
polymer. The polymer was then shaped and hardened with lasers according to an intricate, pre-
programmed city layout. When all eighteen levels of Terrarium City were completed, the bowl was capped
with a transparent sheet and needlelike towers were extended above, so its residents could travel up to view
the countryside. Crevasse City was built directly into the walls of a canyon network, and was nearly
invisible from the air. Aldera, the capital city of Alderaan, was located on an island in the center of a
circular lake. It was home to the famous Alderaan University, established generations ago by the great
philosopher Collus. The university was one of the most prestigious learning institutions in the galaxy, and
had recently been a center for dissent against Palpatine's New Order. The royal palace in Aldera was white
and gold with tall spires and domes, and other points of interest included the National Museum and the
Corioline Marlee theater. The airy, organic architecture used everywhere on Alderaan inspired many
imitators; Bespin's Cloud City, for instance, incorporates many elements of Alderaanian design. NovaCom
was the largest provider of holonet services for all of Alderaan.

Millennia ago, the first human colonists came to Alderaan and discovered the remnants of the lost Killik
civilization. The early colonists included miners, but most were retired businessmen or wealthy dignitaries
searching for a beautiful world on which to spend their lives. Four thousand years ago, the Jedi knights
Ulic and Cay Qel-Droma were born on Alderaan into a great warrior family. The Alderaanian government
became a democracy at some point in its past, yet retained a Royal House of Alderaan for its symbolic
value. In 11/70, Pre-Empire date, the Jedi Jorus C'baoth helped to resolve the Alderaan ascendancy
contention, ruling in favor of Bail Organa's family line. Following the chaos of the Clone Wars, the
Alderaan Council of Elders made a radical decision -- vowing to never again have weapons or standing
armies on their world. The planet became a model of peaceful coexistence, and the people became known
for their pursuit of knowledge and art. During the disarmament, ships were melted down into "peace
medals" which were presented to their crews. The Alderaanian armory ship Another Chance was loaded
with most of the weapons, and was sent skipping randomly through hyperspace in case it should ever be
needed again. (The ship was eventually recovered by a Rebel team prior to the Battle of Hoth.) After the
devastation of the planet Caamas, a large Caamasi refugee group settled in the Alderaan South Islands
under Bail Organa's protection. Ten years before the Battle of Yavin, Han Solo briefly visited Alderaan
after being attacked by pirates. The Organa royal family lived in Aldera, and included Senator Leia
Organa, her adoptive father Senator Bail Prestor Organa (Viceroy and First Chairman of the Alderaan
system), and her adoptive mother (Minister of Education). Other members of House Organa included
Leia's aunts Celly, Tia, and Rouge, and her cousin Nial. Daughters of Alderaanian nobility were schooled
at the Alderaan Select Academy for Young Ladies, then typically presented to the Emperor's Court on
Coruscant to win a suitable marriage partner. Bail Organa was one of the original founders of the Rebel
Alliance, making Alderaan a center for opposition and dissent and arousing the attention of the Empire.
Alderaan is now famous as the planet utterly destroyed by the first Death Star as an example of Imperial
power -- a scattered asteroid field known as the Graveyard is now all that remains of the once-lovely world.
Survivors of the disaster have established the ritual of "Returning," where they eject a Memorial Capsule
into the field and recite an impassioned speech. Some pirate groups have been using the Graveyard as a
relay station and hideout. Lifeforms in the new asteroid belt include space slugs and crystal ferns.

After the planet's destruction, the Empire initially claimed that Alderaan had torn itself apart due to the
explosion of several secret underground superweapons. When actual footage of the Death Star's action
(recorded by a satellite orbiting Delaya) was released to the media, the Empire admitted responsibility, but
claimed it was necessary to prevent Bail Organa from completing a deadly biowar virus program. The
surviving Alderaanians who were offworld at the time were invited by Emperor Palpatine to relocate to his
private resort world of Byss. Orowood Tower on Coruscant was built to house the Alderaanian refugees,
but most did not feel comfortable living on the urban planet. A hydroponics facility on the planet Borleias,
producing Alderaanian foodstuffs, became extremely profitable after the destruction of the world increased
demand for now-scarce Alderaanian goods, and the wealthy Thul family formed the powerful Bornaryn
Trading company after their homeworld's destruction. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, the refugee
population of former Alderaanians numbered 60,000, with main embassies on Coruscant and Bonadan.
Twenty years after Endor, Jacen and Jaina Solo came to the Graveyard to collect a piece of the planet as a
birthday gift for their mother. Besides the Organa family, other notable Alderaanians include Rogue
Squadron member Tycho Celchu and the famous poet Hari Seldona. [SW, SWR, ROJN, JS, COPL, MTS,

Aldereen?
The possible homeworld of the Aldereenians, an obscure insect race. The Aldereenians have a consulate on
Coruscant located around two hundred kilometers from the Alderaanian consulate. [COPL]

Aldivy
Located in the system of the same name, Aldivy is a blue and white sphere with at least one moon. The
insignificant colony planet houses several hundred sparsely-populated human communities, and was
nominally controlled by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War with a tiny defensive force -- two TIE
fighters and a shuttle. It is an Aldivian tradition to say "hail the camp" when arriving at any residence.
Points of interest on Aldivy include the Sea of Aldiv, the community of Greenton (where Lachany Foods is
based), and the farming community of New Oldtown. Sometime after the Battle of Endor, Admiral Trigit
came to the world aboard the Star Destroyer Implacable and ordered the locals to supply his ship. When
they refused, Trigit bombarded New Oldtown from orbit and burned it to cinders. Approximately four
years after Endor, Gara Petothel, one of Warlord Zsinj's intelligence agents, infiltrated Wraith Squadron
under the identity "Lara Notsil" -- the real identity of an Aldivian farm girl who had been killed in the
attack on New Oldtown. Petothel affected an Aldivian accent and named her R2 unit "Tonin," meaning
"Little Atton" in the Basic dialect of Aldivy. Eventually Warlord Zsinj's men found the real Lara Notsil's
brother, Tavin Notsil, and convinced him to contact Petothel. The agent arrived on Aldivy with Wraith
Squadron pilot Myn Donos, and landed in a fruit tree grove next to the blackened scar that once was New
Oldtown. The meeting took place in a prefabricated blue farmhouse set up in the center of the wasteland.
Though Zsinj's men tried to convince her to return with them, Petothel managed to escape. [XWIF]

Algar
Captain Bortrek, a looter who attempted to steal R2-D2 and C-3PO nine years after the Battle of Endor, had
an ex-wife on Algar. The language of the planet is also called Algar, and an exported mood-enhancing drug
is known as Algarine torve weed. Zwil is a mildly-addictive cake-flavoring agent often used in Algarian
cuisine. Wing Tip Theel, an expert computer slicer and a former associate of Han Solo and Lando
Calrissian, operates out of Algar. [POT]

Algarian
One of the false charges filed against Cray Mingla by the Eye of Palpatine's central computer concerned
evidence seized from Rebel spies on Algarian. [COTJ]

Alion
Lando Calrissian once equated a particularly difficult task with "invading Alion." [SOTP]

Alis Point
The former location of a Rebel base, which was evacuated prior to the Battle of Hoth following its
discovery by the Empire. Alliance pilot Zev Senesca helped cover the evacuation, holding off three TIE
fighters while an unarmed transport escaped into hyperspace. [MTS]

Alk'lellish III
The homeworld of the Ketrann, a dangerous carnivore. Governor Wilek Nereus of Bakura owned a set of
its four white fangs. [TAB]

Allyuen
Based on instructions from Darth Vader, a group of Imperial probe droids were recalibrated to search for
Rebels on Allyuen, Tokmia, and Hoth. [ESBR]

Almania
A cold, wind-whipped world with a thin atmosphere, located in the Almanian system and sector on the
farthest edges of the galaxy. The planet, appearing blue and white from space, has three inhabited moons --
two of them are Pydyr and Auyemesh. Almania is so remote that neither the Empire nor the New Republic
ever bothered with it. Points of interest include the capital city of Stonia, consisting primarily of crumbling
stone pillars, cobblestone streets, narrow alleyways, and a tower observatory called the Great Dome of the
Je'har. Beneath the buildings lie kilometers of labyrinthine catacombs. Animal life includes the Thernbee,
a huge white animal with four clawed paws, short ears, and a thin tail. Thernbees are psychic, and live in
herds in the Almanian mountains eating snakes and leaves.

Almania was ruled by the Je'har regime during the galactic civil war, but five years after the Battle of
Endor, new Je'har leaders began mercilessly executing thousands of dissenters. After seven years, one
citizen sent a distress call to the New Republic but received no response. During the Je'har purges, an
Almanian Jedi student named Dolph abandoned his training on Yavin 4 and returned to his homeworld.
Dolph fell deeply into the dark side of the Force after seeing his dead parents, and assumed the name
"Kueller" after an ancient, ruthless Almanian army general. He donned a chilling, form-fitting death's-head
mask, torturing and killing the Je'har leaders and all their followers. Only a thousand handpicked Almanian
citizens survived Kueller's holocaust. Thirteen years after Endor, Kueller murdered the citizens of Pydyr
and Auyemesh with explosive-rigged droids and took Luke Skywalker prisoner. Leia Organa Solo arrived
at the planet with a New Republic fleet, and Kueller's forces were defeated at the decisive Battle of
Almania. [NR]

Alpheridies
The homeworld of the Miraluku, who are born without eyes yet can see through the use of the Force.
Many of the Miraluku become Jedi. Shoaneb Culu, a Jedi knight who lived four thousand years ago, was a
native of Alpheridies. [FNU, DLOS]

Alsakan
Alsakan was founded millennia ago, before the foundation of the Old Republic, by colonists on the Kuat
Explorer. Three thousand years ago the kilometers-long Invincible-class dreadnaughts were first built,
which drew their inspiration from the colossal battle cruisers of the ancient Alsakan Conflicts. Now a
heavily-populated world in the Galactic Core, Alsakan was one of many planets that surrendered to
Admiral Ackbar and the Alliance fleet in the years following the Battle of Endor. Imperial commander
Titus Klev was born on Alsakan; his father was a Clone Wars veteran and his mother a member of a
wealthy merchant family. Corporate Sector viceprex Mirkovig Hirken was also born on Alsakan, into one
of the oldest families on the planet. [DESB, CSSB]

Altarrn
The homeworld of a rare animal described as "spidery night gliders." These animals are considered
premium pets and are sold at Sabodor's pet shop on Etti IV. [HSSE]

Altier
Located in the system of the same name. Captain Drev Jalok was delivering cargo to Altier when he was
ambushed by the notorious pirate Drek Drednar. [SWAJ]

Altor 14
Altor 14, a dry, hot world of rock and sand, orbits the Roti-Ow binary star system and was only recently
discovered by a mineral company. Because of its long rotational period (94 hours), all standing water
evaporates on the planet's surface during the day. Taproot trees and tarpaulin plants are found on the
surface, each with its own unique way of obtaining water. The Avogwi (Altorian Birds) and Nuiwit
(Altorian Lizards) are native to this planet, though it is the peaceful Nuiwit who possess the social and
technical skills to build advanced societies and participate in galactic trade. The carnivorous, aggressive
Avogwi may eventually be forced from the planet's surface by the ever-expanding communities of the
Nuiwit. Some Avogwi were drug- and mind-controlled by Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader to serve as
enclosure guards. [GG4, COTJ]

Alzoc III
Alzoc III, located in the Alzoc system in the Outer Rim, is the home planet of the alien species known as
the Talz, and is the source of Alzoc pearl. The moonless planet is covered with desolate, frozen plains and
its powerful sunlight glares harshly off the reflective snow. The Empire garrisoned Alzoc III in a secret
operation and forced the Talz to work as slaves in underground mines. The planet was never entered into
the galactic registry, and the New Republic only learned of its existence through examining restricted
corporate files. Imperial Commander Pter Thanas was assigned to the rim world of Bakura after refusing to
destroy a village of Talz miners on Alzoc III. Approximately four years after the Battle of Endor, Wedge
Antilles interviewed a Talz pilot from Alzoc III for possible inclusion into Wraith Squadron, but the
applicant was rejected due dangerous stress levels and a history of psychosomatic illness. Eight years after
Endor, the Imperial battlemoon Eye of Palpatine stopped at the frozen planet to pick up a contingent of
stormtroopers, but brought in a group of Talz instead. Animal life includes the torsk -- the t'landa Til called
Teroenza had a lapis sculpture of an Alzoc III torsk in his private collection on Ylesia. [TAB, GG4, COTJ,
PS, XWWS]

Ambria
The ringed, desert planet Ambria is located in the Stenness system, at the heart of the Stenness node.
Animal life on Ambria includes herds of staga, small lizards called neeks, and strange, evil creatures from
Lake Natth, a place strong with the Dark Side of the Force. Thon, a Jedi master who lived four thousand
years ago, made his home on Ambria and instructed several Jedi including Nomi Sunrider and the Vultan
Oss Wilum. During the Sith War, Oss Wilum returned to Ambria and tried to slay Master Thon by
controlling the evil beasts from Lake Natth. He was defeated by Thon with the help of Nomi Sunrider and
Sylvar the Cathar. [DE, TOTJ, DLOS, TSW]

Amfar
Amfar is a popular recreational world with crowded beaches. [SOL]

Ammuud
A cold planet with a short rotation located in the Corporate Sector, Ammuud is ruled by seven major clans
operating under Corporate Sector Authority subcontract. The seven clans (the Glayyd, Reesbon, Tikeris,
Owphrin, Melchett, Almowri, and the Odoon) are ruled by patriarchs called "Mors" and governed by a set
of formal rules known as the Code of Ammuud. Ammuud's main spaceport is a well-defended structure
built adjacent to a snow-capped mountain range. People of all types inhabit the surrounding city, which is
composed of wood and stone buildings, slums, and open gutters. Animal life on Ammuud includes herds of
grazers, flying pterosaurs, and crustaceans in the mountains' icy lakes.

Ammuud was first colonized over 10,000 years ago by settlers from Thokos, and each of the seven original
colony ships formed the basis of Ammuud's seven clans. The colonists were eventually forgotten by their
homeworld, and the clans evolved into quarreling nation-states, continually testing each other in an endless
series of savage battles. One hundred years ago the clans called a truce, and formed the Code of Ammuud
to govern their future conduct. During one of his early adventures, Han Solo visited the mountain
stronghold of the Mor Glayyd to collect money due him, and encountered the infamous gunman Gallandro.
Six years after the Battle of Endor, reeling from the destruction of their command base on Nespis VIII, the
New Republic scattered its command ships and fighter units across the galaxy. One of them, the fleet
transport Vindicator carrying Luke Skywalker and his Jedi trainees, was stationed out beyond Ammuud.
[HSR, CSSB, EE]

Amorris
Amorris, in the system of the same name, was the planet to which Lando Calrissian sent ship thief Niles
Ferrier after persuading him not to steal any ships from Sluis Van. Calrissian told Ferrier that the Cavrilhu
pirate gang was using Amorris as a base. Ten years later, Luke Skywalker tried to infiltrate a Cavrilhu
pirate base in the Kauron system by posing as a supplier. A New Republic agent locked the suppliers' boss
up on Amorris for several days so Skywalker could pull off the ruse. The Cavrilhu Pirates kept a secondary
base on Amorris, which they evacuated about the same time. [DFR, SOTP]
Ampliquen
Ampliquen is located in the Meridian sector. Nine years after the Battle of Endor, the New Republic
cruisers Caelus and Corbantis were sent from the Orbital Station at Durren to investigate either a pirate
attack on Ampliquen or a possible violation of the truce between Ampliquen and Budpock. At the same
time, a revolt (secretly supported by the Loronar Corporation) broke out on Ampliquen. [POT]

Anarid Cluster
The Anarid Cluster contains the planet Kelada. The smuggler Platt Okeefe was a member of a tramp
freighter crew in the Anarid Cluster during her early career. [SWAJ]

Anchoron
Corellian hero Garm Bel Iblis was believed killed on Anchoron. He survived but was forced to go
underground, severing all ties with his former life and working in secret to bring down the Empire. The
smuggler Talon Karrde posted men on Anchoron in an unsuccessful search for Grand Admiral Thrawn's
clone traffic, and Leia Organa Solo planted a false report stating that a Star Destroyer had been spotted near
Anchoron in her attempts to locate an Imperial spy. [DFR, LC]

Ando
A watery, terrestrial planet with very few solid land masses, Ando is the homeworld of the belligerent,
walrus-faced Aqualish. The prestigious Aquala ("finned" Aqualish) prefer to live on floating raft cities and
large sailing ships, while the low-status Quara ("fingered" Aqualish) inhabit the larger islands of Ando.
Ando has a sister planet in the same system, but its blasted, uninhabitable surface implies it was the site of
an Aqualish war soon after the species discovered space travel. The technological society of the Aqualish is
helping to create viable galactic exports, primarily foodstuffs from Ando's seas. The planet has been
closely watched by the Empire for any sign of insurrection.

The Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth was a member of the Ando Demilitarization Observation Group from 8/82-
7/81, Pre-Empire date. Boba Fett visited Ando some time before the Battle of Yavin, where he experienced
the acrid steam of the swamp islands. Following his departure from Tatooine, the infamous criminal Dr.
Evazan was sheltered on Ando in a well-guarded castle on a rocky isle. Ando was also targeted by the
Bellicose in a multi-pronged attack by Grand Admiral Thrawn intended to draw New Republic forces away
from Ukio. [DFR, LC, GG4, TFTC, MA]

Andooweel
Several youths from Andooweel, in trouble on their homeworld for theft and illegal speeder bike racing,
enlisted in the Imperial Army and were trained on Sirpar. [SWAJ]

Andron system
The Andron system contains the planet Aralia, the home planet of the semi-intelligent aliens called Ranats.
[GG4]

Annaj
The site at which the Imperial fleet regrouped following their defeat at Endor. [TAB]

Anoat system
Located in the backwater Ison Corridor. The Anoat system contains the planets Anoat, Gentes (the
homeworld of the pig-like Ugnaughts), and the colony world of Deyer. Animal life on Anoat includes the
Anoat lizard-ant, who can be found in great numbers during the creatures' mating season. Moff Rebus, a
weapons specialist working for the Empire, had a hidden stronghold located under the sewage system of
Anoat City. Rebus was captured by Alliance agent Kyle Katarn following the Battle of Yavin. After their
escape from the Battle of Hoth, Han Solo and Princess Leia found themselves in the Anoat system and
made the decision to visit Bespin's Cloud City. [ESB, MTS, JS, DA, GG2, DF]

Anoth
A multiple planet orbiting a small white sun, Anoth consists of three parts and will likely break itself into
dust in a few hundred years. Anoth is unrecorded on any chart and was chosen by Luke Skywalker and
Admiral Ackbar as the primary hiding place for Leia Organa Solo's Jedi children, although Jacen and Jaina
Solo stayed on New Alderaan during the Emperor's reappearance. The two largest components of Anoth
are close enough to scrape together, causing powerful static discharges between them and bathing the third
fragment in sensor-masking electrical storms. The third piece orbits a safe distance from the other two and
holds a breathable atmosphere in its valleys in spite of its relatively low gravity. The stronghold where
Winter cared for the Jedi children until they reached the age of two was located on the third fragment, at the
opening to a network of caves within Anoth's rocky spires and peaks. An Imperial attack with MT-AT
walkers led by Ambassador Furgan was launched against the Anoth stronghold in an unsuccessful attempt
to kidnap Anakin Solo seven years after the Battle of Endor. The hidden base was repaired after the attack,
and thirteen years after Endor, Leia sent Winter and all three of her children there for their safety during the
Almanian crisis. [JS, DA, COTF, NR]

Antar 4
Located in the Prindaar system, Antar 4 is the fourth of six moons orbiting the gas giant Antar and home to
the alien species known as the Gotal. Antar 4 has an unusual rotational pattern, which makes seasonal
climate changes very pronounced. In addition, the moon's orbital pattern around the gas giant creates
constantly-changing day/night cycles. Due to this, animal species on Antar 4 have developed organs and
senses to help compensate for any absence of light, such as the Gotals' energy-sensing head cones. These
cones aid the Gotal in sensing the moods of others, and in hunting the native herds of quivry. Large head
cones are considered an attractive feature by other Gotal, and those with small cones sometimes use
artificial substitutes to help improve their appearances. Antar 4 has no form of government, but
nevertheless trades and interacts effectively with the rest of galactic society. The notorious bounty hunter
Glott comes from Antar 4, and uses his head cones to predict what his enemies will do a split second before
they can do it. Gotals are distrustful of droids, since their sensory cones are disturbed by their electronic
energy fields. [GG4, TFTC, ROC, POT]

Anteevy
A remote, lifeless, ice-covered world with at least one moon. The Empire constructed a robotics facility on
Anteevy where the alloy Phrik was refined and treated for use in armoring the Dark Troopers. Following
the Battle of Yavin, Alliance agent Kyle Katarn disabled this facility with several sequencer charges. [DF]

Antemeridian sector
The Antemeridian sector, bordering the Meridian sector near the Outer Rim, was once an Imperial satrapy.
Heavy industry, including the Antemeridian Freight Lines, has a strong sector presence, and a trade artery
passing through the region is known as the Antemeridian Route. Following the death of the Emperor, Moff
Getelles continued to rule the Antemeridian sector in Palpatine's name, with his naval forces commanded
by Admiral Larm. Nine years after the Battle of Endor, Getelles made a deal with Seti Ashgad of Nam
Chorios to invade the Meridian sector and secure the planet Nam Chorios for industrial development by the
Loronar Corporation. Larm was killed, and his fleet defeated, in the Battle of Nam Chorios. [POT]

Antemeridias
Located in the Antemeridian sector. Nine years after the Battle of Endor, the Loronar Corporation operated
a manufacturing facility on Antemeridias for producing synthdroids and CCIR needle fighters. The facility
was operated by Siefax, a dummy corporation for Loronar. [POT]

Antipose IX
A pilot droid that Lando Calrissian rented to take him from the Oseon to Rafa IV once held a job on the
pleasure yacht Arleen, which departed from Antipose IX. [LCMH]

Antipose XII
While on a mission in the Oseon, Lando Calrissian used the password "dubesor" -- a native insult on
Antipose XII. [LCFW]

Aparo sector
The Aparo sector, together with the Wyl sector, forms the inner border of the Corporate Sector. It is ruled
by Moff Wyrrhem. [CSSB]

Aquaris
A water world which, according to charts, has no land masses at all. Aquaris is home to Silver Fyre's
organization of former pirates and mercenaries, who call themselves Freeholders. The Freeholders inhabit
an expansive underwater base accessible through a retractable surface landing platform, and pilot
submersible aqua-skimmers when hunting the planet's local marine life. Among the many dangerous
aquatic creatures in Aquaris' oceans is the enormous demonsquid.

During Han Solo and Chewbacca's early adventuring, they had a valuable cargo of spice stolen from them
by Fyre's pirates. Following the Battle of Yavin, Fyre and her Freeholders joined the Alliance during a
conference with Princess Leia on Kabal. The Princess and her companions visited Aquaris after leaving
Kabal, and were betrayed by Kraaken, Fyre's deputy commander. [CSW]

Arabanth
A planet in the Hapes cluster. Arabanth sent an old woman who offered a "thought puzzle" on accepting
life and death as part of a series of gifts from Hapes to the New Republic. [COPL]

Aralia
Aralia, a small, tropical world in the Andron system, is home to both the planetary amusement park Project
Aralia and the troublesome, semi-intelligent Ranats. The Ranats (who call themselves Con Queecon or
"the conquerors") evolved on the planet Rydar II, but came to Aralia when the spice-smuggling ship on
which they had stowed away crashed in Aralia's jungles. Ranats live in tribes numbering around one
hundred individuals, and inhabit maze-like underground warrens. The Ranat population has expanded
greatly since the crash, and they now inhabit most areas of Aralia including its grassy steppes and
mountains. The fierce appetites of the Ranats have led to a decline in most of Aralia's fauna including the
pig-like roba. After Project Aralia's construction was interfered with by the Ranats, the builders attempted
to organize an extermination of the species. This led to an Imperial ruling that Ranats can be killed in self-
defense, and they may not be armed under any circumstances. Some Ranats were drug- and mind-
controlled by Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader to serve as enclosure guards. [GG4, COTJ]

Arapia
The smuggler Toob Ancher traveled to Arapia to collect a debt owed by Saylor Marjan to the crimelord
Saadoon-Kauldi. [SWAJ]

Arat Fraca
Arat Fraca is located two sectors away from Motexx, separated from Motexx by the Black Nebula in
Parfadi. The starliner Star Morning, owned by the religious Fallanassi order, left Motexx a few weeks
before the Battle of Endor with a full cargo, bound for Gowdawl under a charter license. The liner then
disappeared for three hundred days, eventually showing up at Arat Fraca with empty cargo holds. [SOL]

Arcura
The smuggler Reina Gale and her companion Rollos ran a disastrous deal on Arcura, where an entire
battalion of Imperial walkers arrived to stop them. [SWAJ]
Ardos
The white dwarf star orbited by Varl, the original homeworld of the Hutts. According to Hutt legend, Ardos
was once a double star with Evona until Evona was drawn into a black hole. [GG4]

Argazda
Argazda is located in the Kanz sector. Four thousand years ago, Myrial, provisional governor of Argazda,
revolted against the Old Republic and declared the Kanz sector independent. Myrial began to enslave the
other worlds of the sector, including Lorrd, and the preoccupied Republic did nothing to help. This period
lasted three hundred years until ended by the Jedi Knights and is known as the Kanz Disorders. [CSSB]

Argoon
Equipment for a new space station, to be built in the Pakuuni system, was awaiting pickup at an abandoned
cargo area near Argoon. The Victory-class Star Destroyer Stalwart, under the command of Vice Admiral
Thrawn, arrived to load the material and was attacked by Rebel starfighters sometime after the Battle of
Hoth. [TSC]

Aridus
A backwater desert world home to the short, lizardlike aliens called Chubbits, who cross the planet's sandy
terrain in "wind-runners" -- wheeled vehicles with large sails. Animal life on Aridus includes large lizard
creatures, which can be tamed and used as mounts. The natural interference of Aridus' atmosphere makes
all long-range communications impossible, and the Empire (after taking control of the planet) built an
immense Iron Tower to overcome this interference. The completely automated tower acted both as a signal
amplifier and power transformer, allowing unrestricted communications and supplying the energy needed
to run Imperial hover trains. Hazardous lava pits were located in the mining region immediately
surrounding the Iron Tower. Unfortunately, the powerful signals emanating from the tower had a harmful
effect on the local Chubbits, crippling their nervous systems and eventually killing many.

The Chubbits resisted the Imperial takeover of their homeworld, and were supplied with weapons for their
fight by the Alliance. Following the Battle of Yavin, Darth Vader set a trap for Luke Skywalker by making
it appear that Ben Kenobi had returned from the dead and was working with the resistance on Aridus. The
false Kenobi was actually a trained actor, altered by Imperial surgeons to resemble the dead Jedi.
Skywalker managed to escape the trap, which also resulted in the partial destruction of the Iron Tower.
[CSW]

Arkania
Arkania, in the Colonies region, is covered with tundra and diamond mines where miners extract melon-
sized gems from the planet's crust. Four thousand years ago, the Jedi master Arca established a Jedi
training outpost in the wilderness of Arkania. Centuries ago, the scientifically-minded Arkanians began
cyber-enhancing the brains of their primitive neighbors, the Yaka. Soon the stocky Yaka were one of the
most intelligent and quick minded species in the galaxy, with a bizarre sense of humor to match. Animal
life on the planet includes the Arkanian dragon and jellyfish. [TOTJ, FNU, DLOS, DESB]

Arkanis sector
Located on the border of the Mid-Rim and Outer Rim, the Arkanis sector contains the Pii system. The
forested worlds Pii 3 and 4 are sometimes called "Teeda's Eyes," after the green eyes of the ancient
Empress Teeda of Arkanis Regency annals. [SWAJ]

Aruza
Aruza, whose cities include Bukeen, is orbited by five moons in varying colors of tan, silver, and green.
The natives are called Aruzans, small, gentle people who have blue skin, dark blue hair, and rounded heads.
They keep neural interface jacks (called Attanni) beneath their ears to make them tech-empathic, allowing
them to read the emotions of others. The Aruzans have not had a murder on their planet in one hundred
years, and share a limited group mind. Plant life on Aruza includes the rupin tree, the near-sentient dola
tree, and the blue inderrin tree. Animal life includes bomats and the bioluminescent farrow bird. The
Empire, in the person of General Sinick Kritkeen, came to Aruza to "reeducate" the populace and turn them
into a fighting force. Prior to the Battle of Hoth, the bounty hunter Dengar came to the planet and
assassinated Kritkeen at his ornate mountain mansion. Dengar then escaped with the native woman
Manaroo, whom he later married. [TBH]

Askaj
A dry, desert world, Askaj is home to the near-human aliens known as Askajians. Askajians' bodies can
absorb and store water, using it only as needed for survival, and females of the species have six breasts.
According to custom, Askajian cublings are not given names until they reach their first birthday, and the
people's belief system involves Askaj's Moon Lady and the demons of the Nethermost Abyss. Animal life
on Askaj includes large reptiles and the horned herd animals called tomuons -- valued throughout the
galaxy for their wool. Askajian weaving techniques are closely-guarded secrets, and it is said that Emperor
Palpatine's ceremonial robes are spun from tomuon wool. Yarna, daughter of a tribe chieftain on Askaj and
a first-rate competitive dancer, was captured with her family by slavers and sold to Jabba the Hutt. Yarna
served in the Hutt's court as a dancer, but escaped after Jabba's death and eventually bought her cublings
out of slavery. The smuggler Mako Spince used to run Askajian fabric in the years before the Battle of
Yavin. [TFJP, HG]

Athega system
The Athega system contains the planet Nkllon, where Lando Calrissian had a mining operation. Due to the
heat of its sun, ships must be escorted by a shieldship from the outer parts of the Athega system in order to
approach the inner planets. [HTTE]

Atraken
Nine years after the Battle of Endor, Callista sent Luke Skywalker a message warning him to stay away
from the Meridian sector. The message was contained in a music-box forwarded from Atraken. [POT]

Atravis sector
The Atravis sector contains the Atravis systems, which were devastated by Imperial attacks. Of the
massacres that occurred in the sector, Grand Moff Tarkin said, "They have only themselves to blame."
Grand Admiral Harrsk's troops began concentrating in the Atravis sector eight years after the Battle of
Endor. [COTJ]

Atrivis sector
Located in the Outer Rim, the Atrivis sector contains the Mantooine and Fest systems and the planet
Generis. During the early formation of the Rebel Alliance, Mon Mothma helped unite various insurgent
organizations, including the Atrivis Resistance Groups. Five years after the Battle of Endor, New Republic
pilot Pash Cracken was stationed in the Atrivis sector and helped defend (unsuccessfully) the Outer Rim
comm center against an Imperial attack. [LC, DESB, FP]

Atzerri
A chaotic Free Trader world with almost no form of organized government, Atzerri has no Flight Control
Zone -- ships control their own arrival and must negotiate with independently-owned spaceports to arrange
landings. The planetary Traders' Coalition charges a hefty fee for almost every service. Cities include
Talos Spaceport and Skreeka Spaceport. Visitors arriving from the landing pads in Talos pass a gauntlet of
gaudily-lit stores known as Traders Plaza, designed to "hook" new arrivals and squeeze out their credits as
soon as possible (one of its stores is The Galactic Archives). Other points of interest in Talos include the
busy entertainment district known as the Revels, which is filled with casinos, cantinas, and a themed bar
called Jabba's Throne Room. The entire planetary system is encircled by a cometary Oort Cloud.
Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, Luke Skywalker and Akanah Norand Pell went to Talos Spaceport
on Atzerri to search for the Fallanassi Order. Akanah trudged through the flesh-market Pemblehov District,
the New Marketplace, and the Demon's Lair to reach the Trasli District, where she found her father in a
decrepit apartment tower called Atrium 41. When her drug-damaged father failed to recognize her, Akanah
and Luke departed Atzerri. [SOL]

Auril systems
A distant group of six star systems (including the Adega system and the leading Auril system) in the Auril
sector, which also encompasses the Cron Drift. The entire region is located in the Outer Rim, a few hours
hyperspace travel from Tatooine. Originally there were nine Auril systems, though three systems were
destroyed during the Great Sith War as the Cron Cluster ignited in a multiple supernova. The area was
abandoned when the Empire took power, and today there are no developed planets for a thousand light-
years in any direction. The abandoned space city Nespis VIII was located at the node of the Auril systems
until its destruction six years after the Battle of Endor. [DE2, TSW, GOF]

Austan Asteroid Cluster

Meysen Kayson, wealthy owner of the Greel Wood Logging Corporation in the Pii system, also owns
several properties in the Austan Asteroid Cluster. [SWAJ]

Auyemesh
One of three moons orbiting the planet Almania. Thirteen years after the Battle of Endor, Kueller destroyed
the population of Auyemesh in order to harvest their wealth and to add credence to his ultimatum
demanding that New Republic Chief of State Leia Organa Solo step down and turn power over to him.
[NR]

Averam
Averam was the location of a local Rebel Alliance cell, where Leia Organa's aide Winter worked for a few
weeks prior to the Battle of Yavin under the code name "Targeter." Imperial Intelligence cracked the cell
soon afterwards, and the smuggler Captain Dantels was nearly captured by agents of Imperial Intelligence.
The natives of Averam are called Averists. [LC, XW]

Averill system
A vast letter-dumping ground, almost one thousand kilometers long, was discovered five light-years out of
the Averill system. Investigation revealed that at least three private courier services were jettisoning their
datacard cargoes in the region. [SWAJ]

Avhn-Bendara system
A harsh system containing the planet Ryvellia. [SWAJ]

Azbrian
Azbrian is the homeworld of Condren Foreck, daughter of a wealthy farmer and a famous athlete on her
world. She lives on a farm containing eight-legged herd animals. Foreck was one of Lando Calrissian's
marriage candidates, until he discovered she had already married someone else. [AAC]

Babbadod
The starliner Star Morning, owned by the religious Fallanassi order, departed the planet Teyr and went to
Darepp. From there it traveled towards the Outer Rim, stopping at the colony worlds 23 Mere, Yisgga,
New Polokia, Fwiis, and Babbadod. [SOL]
Babali
A tropical planet of some interest to galactic archaeologists. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, when
an archaeological team from the Obroan Institute was sent to the frozen planet Qella to conduct an
investigation, their last dig was on Babali. Consequently, they didn't have the ice drills and cold-weather
gear necessary for the mission. [SOL]

Bacrana
Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, a large demonstration against Imperial rule in the Central Sector of
Bacrana's large city Amma erupted in violence. Imperial forces under the command of Moff Ramier put
down the riot without any help from the local Bacrana System Defense Force. Following the incident, the
city of Amma was placed under martial law. [SWAJ]

Bajic sector
Located in the Outer Rim, the Bajic sector contains the Lybeya system. The sector was once under the
control of Grand Moff Kintaro, who was careless enough to allow an Alliance shipyard to form in the
Lybeya system. Prior to the Battle of Endor, Darth Vader was sent to the Bajic sector to eliminate the
hidden Rebel base in the Lybeya system's Vergesso Asteroids. At the same time, Ororo Transportation, a
front company for the Tenloss Syndicate, attempted to wrest control of the Bajic sector spice business from
Black Sun. Prince Xizor, head of Black Sun, sent his human replica droid Guri to assassinate the chief
officers of Ororo for their transgression. [SOTE]

Bakura
Bakura is a rich, green and blue planet with several moons located on the isolated edge of the Rim Worlds.
The eight planets in the Bakura system include one gas giant and Planet Six, an ammonia ice-covered ball.
Bakura receives a great deal of rainfall. The capital city of Salis D'aar sits at the base of a mountain range,
on a white quartz delta between two parallel rivers. Bakura's exports include strategic metals, repulsorlift
components, and an addictive fruit called namana, which is made into candies and nectar. Bakura was
settled by the Bakur mining corporation during the end of the Clone Wars, though at least one building on
the planet is over 100 years old. The planet's inhabitants tend to be prejudiced against non-human species,
though some pale, hairless Kurtzen inhabit the Kishh district. The Bakurans especially dislike droids, since
the first wave of Bakuran colonists were nearly wiped out by malfunctioning droids. The Bakur complex in
Salis D'aar is a large city-center containing residential, medical, and Imperial office areas, and the old
Bakur Memorial Building overlooking Statuary Park. Animal life on Bakura includes the butter newt and
the predatory Bakuran Cratsch, and its plants include pokkta leaves, namana trees, and passion-bud vines.

Bakura was once run by a prime minister and a senate -- the descendants of the Bakur Corporation's
original ship's captain served as prime minister, and senators were appointed by their colleagues instead of
elected by the public. The constant governmental bickering allowed the planet to fall easily to the Empire
three years prior to the Battle of Endor. Two Star Destroyers neutralized Bakuran resistance, and Captain
Alecs Brellar served as the temporary Imperial governor until Wilek Nereus could arrive. Nereus allowed
the Bakuran senate to remain in place under his control, and built a planetary garrison (featuring older,
outdated defenses) which was placed under the command of Pter Thanas. Immediately following the Battle
of Endor, Alliance and Imperial forces briefly joined together at Bakura to thwart an invasion by the Ssi-
ruuk Imperium. After the subsequent overthrow of Imperial forces, Prime Minister Yeorg Captison took
over the leadership of Bakura. Several years later, Yeorg's niece Gaeriel Captison was elected Prime
Minister, but was defeated in a succeeding election. The planet retained a powerful defensive fleet to guard
against any further Ssi-ruuk attacks, and Bakuran techs designed the ships to escape from interdiction
fields. Approximately four years after the Battle of Endor, Wraith Squadron pilot Wes Janson posed as
Bakuran Senator-in-Exile Iskit Tyestin during an undercover mission to Storinal. The cover identity was
based on the real Senator Tyestin, who was one of the last pro-Imperial senators elected before Bakura
joined the New Republic and who was killed during an attempt to flee the planet. Janson claimed to be on
Storinal raising funds for the Bakuran Loyalist Movement. Twelve years after Endor, Bakura was
represented by Senator Cundertol in the New Republic government and the Defense Council. Like many
other Bakurans, Cundertol was biased against non-human species. Luke Skywalker returned to Bakura,
fourteen years after the truce, to borrow the planet's defensive fleet for a mission in the Corellian system.
Half of the Bakuran cruisers were destroyed in the successful mission, and Gaeriel Captison was killed.

Balfron
Lando Calrissian became infatuated with the twin con-artists the Tonnika sisters after an encounter in the
High Stakes Casino on Balfron. [MTS]

Balis-Baurgh system
The Balis-Baurgh system, naturally shielded from sensors by gas clouds and intense solar radiation,
contains three planets, one of which can support life. Several years ago, the leaders of this planet's nations
decided to jointly build a space station as a symbol of their global peace. When the station's construction
was secretly sabotaged by the Empire, the nations blamed each other and went to war -- making the planet
an easy target for the subsequent Imperial conquest. The Empire turned the space station into a fully-
automated prison, and seeded the system with sensor jammers to make navigation in the system nearly
impossible. Sometime after the Battle of Endor, Alliance captain Junas Turner and the Ewok warrior Grael
were imprisoned on the Balis-Baurgh station until they managed to escape. [SWAJ]

Balmorra
A factory world located at the fringes of the Galactic Core. Wide plains surround the planet's capitol,
where Governor Beltane runs the planet and oversees production. During the reign of the Empire, the
Balmorrans manufactured weapons for the Imperial army, and were the primary builders of the AT-ST
walker. The planet was liberated by the New Republic following the Battle of Endor, and it remained
independent for five years. Balmorra was brought back into Imperial service during the Emperor's
reappearance, but following Palpatine's supposed death near Da Soocha the rebellious Balmorrans began
arming the New Republic. In retaliation, the planet was attacked by a force under the command of Military
Executor Sedriss, including Shadow Droids and SD-9 battle droids. After suffering surprising losses at the
hands of the new Viper Automadons, Sedriss called off his attack in exchange for a shipment of the
molecularly-shielded droids. [DE2]

Bandorian colonies
The Bandorian colonies were utterly wiped out years ago by the deadly Candorian plague. The outbreak
was successfully contained, and this was thought to have eliminated the last known strain of the plague.
Forty-six years later, the Empire released the Candorian plague on the rebellious planet of Dentaal.
[SWAJ]

Barab I
Barab I is inhabited by the Barabel. It is a dark, humid world in close orbit around the red dwarf Barab.
Barab I has a sixty-hour rotation, and is bathed in ultraviolet, gamma, and infrared radiation due to its
proximity to its sun. During the day standing water evaporates, making the surface very humid and hazy.
During the cool night, the only time Barab I's animal life is active, this haze condenses and falls to the
surface as rain. The Barabel, whose bodies are covered with plates of black keratin, live in underground
caverns and are known for their excellent hunting skills.

Many years ago a band of Jedi helped resolve a Barabel dispute over access to choice hunting grounds,
leaving the Barabel with a deep respect for all Jedi. Some of the later visitors to Barab I were big-game
hunters who actively hunted the Barabel, though now visiting hunters track other prey and instead use
Barabel as porters and guides. A spaceport, Alater-ka, was constructed after the Empire took control of
Barab I. Skahtul, a female Barabel bounty hunter, captured Luke Skywalker on the planet Kothlis prior to
the Battle of Endor. Her group planned to sell him to the highest bidder, but he escaped before they could
succeed. Several years after Endor, the Barabel nearly went to war with the Verpine after the Verpine
defaulted on a ship-building contract. [GG4, DFR, COPL, SOTE]

Baraboo
The location of the Institute for Sentient Studies, which contains the most comprehensive collection of
neurological models in the galaxy. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, the cyborg Lobot accessed the
Institute's records, searching for a clue to decipher a puzzle aboard the mysterious Qella ship known as the
Teljkon vagabond. [BTS]

Bari
A blue star circled by Baros, home planet of the Brubbs. [GG4]

Barkhesh
A unique microorganism, found only in the humid southern jungles of Barkhesh, infests the bodies of
insects and quickly devours them. The organism, harmless to higher forms of life, is often used in anti-
insect canisters carried by scouting teams, though the canisters can typically only be purchased on
Barkhesh. [SWAJ]

Baros
Orbiting the blue star Bari, Baros is a large, arid planet with higher-than-standard gravity and intense
windstorms. Baros is the homeworld of the reptilian Brubbs, whose society is centered around communal
groups called habas that consist of 10-10,000 individuals. The Brubbs have university habas and have
established a spaceport haba after their recent discovery by the Empire, though this facility has not seen
much use due to the difficulty of landing and departing in Baros' high gravity. Brasck, a smuggler who was
known to associate with Talon Karrde, was a Brubb. [GG4, DFR]

Basarais
"If I had a fat toe, a short toe, a black toe, a new toe, I would know, where to go" is a children's counting
rhyme from Basarais. [SOL]

Basilisk
The site of the Battle of Basilisk, where the Jedi Master Sidrona Diath was killed. [DLOS]

Baskarn
Located in the Outer Rim, the inhospitable jungle planet Baskarn is home to an Alliance starfighter outpost
that makes guerrilla strikes into Imperial territory. Advanced Base Baskarn is built into a mountainside,
surrounded by a thick jungle of razor-sharp plants and deadly predators. The planet is the homeworld of
the Yrashu, a force-sensitive species of green primates who exist in peaceful harmony with their
environment. The primitive Yrashu carry ceremonial maces made from the roots of the Hmumfmumf tree.
Animal life on Baskarn includes floating jellyfish, which drift above the tree canopy and snare birds and
rodents in their tentacles. Other creatures include water snakes, edible Mmhmm butterflies, and the fierce
horned Hrosma tiger which hunts through the use of the Force. [SWAJ]

Bastion
Located in the system of the same name in the Braxant sector, on the boundary between the Outer Rim and
Unknown Space. Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, with the shrinking Empire under Admiral
Pellaeon's leadership, the Empire's new capital world was located on the planet Bastion. Its coordinates
were a closely-guarded Imperial secret. The planet was ruled by Moff Disra, and points of interest included
Disra's palace and an extensive Imperial records library. [SOTP]

Bastooine system
The Bastooine system contains the worlds Orellon I and II, though Orellon I is actually a large barren moon
orbiting the inhabited world of Orellon II. [SWAJ]
Beauchen
The location of a prison colony. [SOTP]

Belsavis
Located in the Ninth Quadrant near the Senex sector, Belsavis (an independent ally of the New Republic) is
a world of volcanic rift valleys separated by miles of icy glaciers. The inhabited, steam-filled rifts are
heated by the planet's core, which feeds mud pots and hot springs on the surface. The cities within the rifts,
some of them covered by light-amplification domes, include Wutz, Bot-Un, Mithipsin, and Plawal
(formerly called Pletwell). The enormous rift-covering domes, buoyed by antigrav units in their apices,
support a vast network of hanging gardens and moveable growing beds. The vine-coffee and vine-silk
grown in these beds account for thirty percent of Belsavis' total economy and require a temperature shift of
thirty degrees or more. The domes also protect against the periodic cold storms that formerly swept into
the rifts from the surrounding glaciers. The gangly, short-lived Mluki species are representatives of
Belsavis' original population. The rift valleys were largely jungle until the Brathflen Corporation, Galactic
Exotics, and Imperial Exports arrived and began cultivating cash crops such as vine-coffee and vine-silk in
the hanging beds, shalaman and podon orchards, brandifert, lipana, bowvine fruit, and slochan.

The quiet, humid community of Plawal lies between steep cliffs of red-black rock and is run by Jevax, a
Mluki who is Chief Person of Plawal. Rock "benches" leading up to the cliff walls provide a narrow
foundation for homes and orchards. Most buildings are constructed from prefabricated units, and crammed
together on small lots due to the rift's enclosed area. Residences in the old city were constructed directly
over warm springs. A thick, sulfur-smelling mist permeates the valley, and can restrict visibility to just a
few meters. Plawal's main docking silos are connected by tunnels to the Port Offices and to the rest of the
city, including the canneries, the Brathflen Medcenter, Old Orchard Street, the seven main silk-packing
plants, the MuniCenter, an import/export business on Pandowirtin Lane, and the Bubbling Mud cafe off
Brandifert Court. Madame Lota's House of Flowers (a brothel) and seedy bars such as the Smoking Jets
and the Jungle Lust line Spaceport Row. A house on Painted Door Street opens onto Plawal's vast network
of subterranean crypts. These crypts, which contain xylen chips and gold wiring from the abandoned
laboratories of Jedi Master Plett, were guarded by forgotten, mind-controlled smugglers under the Force
influence of Irek Ismaren. Flora in the Plawal rift includes starblossoms, sweetberry vines, aphor trees,
orchids, hanging moss, spider plants, shalaman trees, ferns, and Wookiee-beard. Fauna includes mooklas,
salamanders, phosphor bugs, frogs, pittins, pellata birds, manolliums (brought from Ithor), watch-critters,
and the insectile kretch that infest Plawal's tunnels. The storm-lashed, ionized atmosphere of Belsavis
makes sensor probes and ship landings extremely difficult. Only one spot, called the Corridor, in the
planet's southern hemisphere is atmospherically stable each day -- smugglers making the "Belsavis Run"
come in at the Corridor and skim the ice to one of the unofficial landing pads on the glaciers.

Almost one hundred years ago, the Jedi master Plett built a house and laboratory in the Plawal rift that
served as a safe haven for the Jedi and their families. Eighteen years before the Battle of Yavin, the
Emperor commissioned the battlemoon Eye of Palpatine to wipe out the Jedi enclave but the ship never
arrived. The Emperor's small backup force of interceptors bombed Plawal but were wiped out by Belsavis'
Y-wings, and the Jedi departed for places unknown -- after erasing all knowledge of their presence from the
inhabitants of the city. After their departure, Brathflen, Galactic, and Imperial/Republic arrived to dome the
valley and cultivate vine-coffee and silk. Nubblyk the Slyte began blasting landing pads on the glaciers
around this time, and the smuggling trade began in earnest. A small force of tariff police left by the region's
Imperial Governor were little use against the smugglers. Brathflen built the first of the light-amplification
domes over Plawal (based on Plett's original design) before the Battle of Yavin, and the three companies
teamed with Kuat to install a central computer system. About a year after the Battle of Endor, the Slyte
disappeared and was replaced by his associate Bran Kemple, which caused the Belsavian smuggling
industry to dry up. In the same year, Roganda Ismaren (one of the Emperor's Hands) came to Plawal. Han
and Leia Organa Solo visited Belsavis eight years after the Battle of Endor and uncovered a plot by
Roganda Ismaren to forge a military alliance with the Senex Lords. [COTJ, TFJP]
Belthu
A wealthy colony planet with many stockpiles of valuable ores, Belthu is ruled by a coalition of mining
company presidents. After the Battle of Endor, Warlord Zsinj contacted the president of Belthu's second-
largest corporation and worked out a deal in which the company would supply him with refined durasteel.
A New Republic Intelligence team tracked one of the durasteel shipments to a small durasteel foundry on
the surface, and then destroyed the foundry. Approximately four years after the Battle of Endor, Warlord
Zsinj's corvette Night Caller was assigned to visit a number of unaligned rimward planetary systems and
refueling rendezvous points located just outside of New Republic territory. The schedule included Viamarr
Four, Xartun, Belthu, Em-Two-Three-Nine-Eight, Todirium, Obinipor, and Femion. [XWWS]

Bendeluum system
A Corellian couple attempted to obtain forged letters of transit in Bespin's Cloud City to help three Rebel
friends in the Bendeluum system. [GG2]

Bendone
Bendone is home to the alien species known as the Howler Tree People, who speak an unusual ultrasonic
language. Nineteen years after the Battle of Endor, Chief of State Leia Organa Solo met with
representatives from the Howler Tree People on Coruscant, for which she needed a large group of
translators. [YJK]

Bengat
Bengat is a water-covered planet. The Aruzan woman Manaroo, who later married the bounty hunter
Dengar, once rafted through an intense storm on Bengat. [TBH]

Berchest
A former tourist destination in the Berchest system, Berchest is home to the Calius saj Leeloo -- the City of
Glowing Crystal. The city is carved entirely from one massive crystal, created over the years from the red-
orange salt deposits of the adjacent Leefari Sea. An icy river flows through Calius to the sea's edge, where
the upper-class regions of the city are located. Only a few streets in the city (such as Mavrille Street) were
constructed wide enough for vehicular traffic, so traffic on them tends to be heavy. Planetary Governor
Staffa and his aide Fingal govern Berchest from Staffa's office in Central Government Tower Number One.

The tourism industry that surrounded Calius dried up following the Clone Wars and the birth of the Empire,
and Berchest has since tried to reposition itself as a major trade center by using the established trade routes
left over from tourism. Berchest was in Imperial territory during the reign of Grand Admiral Thrawn, and
Thrawn led the New Republic to believe that Calius was a transfer point for the trafficking of his clone
soldiers. Luke Skywalker encountered the smuggler Talon Karrde on Berchest while investigating this
lead. [LC]

Berusa
The first planet in the Garos system. [SWAJ]

Besberra system
The space station Zirtran's Anchor was once located in the Besberra system until it suddenly and
mysteriously vanished. The station later reappeared, abandoned and empty, near the Phosphura Belt
Nebula. [SWAJ]

Bespin system
Located in the isolated Ison Corridor, the Bespin system contains three planets (Miser, Orin, and Bespin)
and the asteroid belt Velser's Ring, all of which orbit the star also called Bespin. The system is rich in
natural resources, including tibanna gas and valuable metals. [GG2]
Bespin
Bespin, the outermost planet in the system of the same name, is a large gas giant approximately 118,000
kilometers in diameter which rotates every twelve hours. Bespin has many moons, though only H'gaard
and Drudonna (known as The Twins) are large enough to command attention. The planet's solid metal core
is surrounded by a thick layer of liquid-metal rethen, which is in turn surrounded by a layer of liquid rethen.
Above the rethen is Bespin's colorful cloud layer, which only extends 1000 kilometers into the heart of the
planet. The "Life Zone," in which humans and Bespin's native animals can survive, is a thirty kilometer-
deep band located within the cloud layer. Plant life in Bespin's Life Zone is exclusively made of vast
colonies of floating algae, such as the numerous pinks and the phosphorescent glowers. Animal life
includes predatory velkers, batlike rawwks, and the kilometers-wide, jellyfish-like grazers called beldons.
The clouds are also home small herd of saillike Alderaanian thrantas, which are the only surviving
members of their species after Alderaan’s recent destruction. Naturally-occurring tibanna gas is a useful
hyperdrive coolant which can be found in Bespin's upper layers of clouds. Spin-sealed tibanna gas,
however, is an extremely rare element used in boosting blaster firepower, and this gas can be found in
abundance in the lowest levels of the gas giant's atmosphere.

Many years ago, Lord Ecclessis Figg constructed the first floating settlement on Bespin near the planet's
equator -- the Floating Home. At the time, it was the only outpost built on a gas giant to last more than a
decade. Ten years after its founding, expansion began which would eventually turn the outpost into the
vast metropolis of Cloud City. The construction materials for this expansion were mined from Miser, the
innermost planet of the Bespin system. Cloud City is over sixteen kilometers in diameter and houses
almost five and a half million inhabitants. The highest levels house casinos and nightclubs, while the
lowest generally house factories and production plants. The seedy, corrupt environs of Port Town are found
on the middle levels. Hotels in the upper plaza include the Yerith Bespin, the Stratosphere, and the Holiday
Towers (formerly owned by Jabba the Hutt). Some of the many casinos include the Royal, the Pair O'Dice,
and the Trest. Besides gambling, the many diversions for this level’s wealthy tourists include watching the
monthly “sky rodeo” performed by the thranta herd and its alien riders, or boarding a floating health spa to
breathe cloud vapor (which is rumored to have therapeutic value). Due to Bespin’s rapid rotation, visitors
can enjoy two sunrises and sunsets every “standard” day.

The three branches of Cloud City's government are the Exex group of business administrators, the
Parliament of Guilds, and the single Baron-Administrator. The massive repulsorlift generators keeping the
city afloat also draw spin-sealed tibanna gas from the lowest levels of the planet's atmosphere. The gas is
sent into the city's refineries, where it is pressurized, purified, and frozen into carbonite blocks for storage
and sale. Ostensibly, Figg & Associates, Ltd. manufactures tibanna gas for use as a hyperdrive coolant -- in
reality, the company sells spin-sealed gas to weapons manufacturers not affiliated with the Empire. The
city is small enough to avoid the official notice of the Mining Guild, but an annual payment was typically
made to Guild leaders to keep them from organizing Cloud City's workers. Though the city's primary
industry is tibanna gas production, other profitable Cloud City companies include Bespin Motors. Before
the destruction of Alderaan, Bespin participated in a lucrative trade triangle with the Alderaan and Corellian
systems, and Cloud City still receives much of its shipping from the nearby Corellian Trade Spine. Most of
the city's industrial work is handled by a large population of Ugnaughts (originally from nearby Gentes)
belonging to the Irden, Botrut, and Isced tribes. The Storm Guard weather watch keeps an eye on Bespin's
atmosphere from Kerros' Tower (the highest point on Cloud City), and security is handled by the city's
Wing Guard. A hollow wind tunnel runs through the center of the city.

Another floating city, Tibannopolis, was once a prosperous boomtown but is now an abandoned ghost
town, picked clean of valuables and drifting at an angle due to its malfunctioning repulsors. Many other
refineries, waystations, and resorts drift through Bespin’s sky, including independent prospectors searching
for elusive tibanna gas strikes.

Years ago the Jedi Master Djinn Altis instructed his students, including Geith and Callista, from a Jedi
training platform hidden in Bespin's clouds. The smuggler Lando Calrissian won the Millennium Falcon in
a sabacc game on Bespin approximately four years before the Battle of Yavin. Calrissian later managed to
become Baron-Administrator of Cloud City after winning the rights from Baron Raynor in another sabacc
game. During his tenure Calrissian made the droid EV-9D9 his security chief, and the psychotic robot
destroyed one quarter of Cloud City's droid population before being discovered and escaping aboard the
hijacked Mining Guild cutter Iopene Princess. Calrissian also established a new group of Commando-
pilots to be used for Cloud City's defense. Later, the city was used by Darth Vader in a vain attempt to trap
Luke Skywalker. Calrissian helped his friends escape Vader's ambush, and the city was subsequently
seized by the Empire. During this time, IG-88B tried to ambush Boba Fett in Cloud City's recycling level,
but Fett destroyed the droid with a concussion grenade. Rogue Squadron pilot Rhysati Ynr, a native of
Bespin, was forced to flee Cloud City with her family when the Imperial forces arrived. Six years later, the
Imperial garrison at Bespin was used by Grand Admiral Thrawn in his war effort against the New Republic.
Two years later, Luke Skywalker returned to Bespin to recruit Streen, an independent prospector who used
the Force to sense gaseous eruptions from the lower cloud levels, into his new Jedi Academy. One year
later, one of the false charges filed against Cray Mingla by the Eye of Palpatine's central computer
concerned retina prints and holograms provided by the government of Bespin. Twelve years after the
Battle of Endor, Lando Calrissian returned to Bespin to convince Lobot, the current administrator, to help
him unravel the mystery of the Teljkon vagabond ghost ship. [ESB, ESBN, LC, JS, HTTE, SWS, COTJ,

Bessimir
Bessimir, located fifteen parsecs from Coruscant, is orbited by two moons. Twelve years after the Battle of
Endor, the New Republic's newly-commissioned Fifth Fleet underwent a live-fire training exercise
codenamed "Hammerblow" at Bessimir. Under the command of the Dornean general Etahn A'baht, the
Fifth Fleet's A-wings first destroyed Bessimir's communications and sensor satellites. Bessimir's planetary
defensive batteries and main starfighter base, housed on the alpha moon, were then collapsed by
penetration bombs. Finally, a New Republic Star Destroyer acted as bait for a hypervelocity gun on the far
side of the alpha moon while K-wing bombers penetrated the gun's shields with flechette missiles. This
successful mission was the first operational readiness test for the Fifth Fleet. [BTS]

Bestine
Bestine is a watery, high-gravity world. When the Empire decided to open a high-security base of
operations in the Bestine system, the entire population of Bestine IV was evacuated to make room for the
installation. Alliance pilot Jek Porkins was one of these dispossessed persons, and learned his piloting
skills by hunting sink-crabs on Bestine IV's rocky islands in his T-16 Skyhopper. Kestic Station, a free-
trader outpost, was located near the Bestine system until eliminated by the Star Destroyer Merciless.
Alliance pilot Biggs Darklighter defected to the Rebellion along with his ship, the Rand Ecliptic, during a
mission to the Bestine system. The Alliance cruiser Defiance barely survived a surprise attack from the
Star Destroyer Immortal near Bestine, which was the site of an important base. A later attack on the Rebel
flagship Independence, just prior to the Battle of Yavin, also resulted in a narrow escape for the Alliance.
[SWN, MTS, FP]

Bethal
One of Bethal's primary exports is apocia hardwood, which takes two centuries to mature and is used in the
making of luxury furniture. Cities on Bethal include the Altoona and Dora Prefectures, and the major
planetary cooperative is Bethal AgriCorp. Soon after the Battle of Yavin, Bethal was infested by swarms of
giant termites called greddleback bugs. Several attempts were made to contain the nearly two hundred
greddleback swarms, which were moving across Bethal's southern continent and threatening to wipe out the
planet's apocia industry for generations. [SWAJ]

Betshish
A swamp world that was scouted for possible colonization by Wetyin's Colony. When a sentient species
was found on the planet, Betshish was removed from consideration. [GG2]
Bextar system
Located deep within the Velcar Free Commerce Zone in the Pentastar Alignment, the Bextar system
consists of four gas giants orbiting a pale yellow sun. A thriving gas-mining operation, run by the Amber
Sun Mining Corporate, lies scattered across the planets' many moons. The operation's labor force consists
primarily of alien Entymals, who have green exoskeletons and gliding membranes and make excellent
pilots. The Entymals were brought to the Bextar system from their homeworld, and many dream of leaving
the oppressive labor conditions of Bextar and gaining their freedom. [SWAJ]

Biivren
A minor industrial planet formerly under Imperial rule. When the Empire withdrew from Biivren after the
Battle of Endor, they scuttled several key factories and contaminated the world's water supply. Some
enterprising free-traders have been profiting by selling pure drinking water to the planet's inhabitants.
[SWAJ]

Bilbringi
Located in the Bilbringi system, the Imperial Shipyards of Bilbringi are a mass of dockyard platforms,
partially-built ships, and construction vehicles, and are defended by at least four Golan II battle stations.
Floating shield generators line the approved approach vectors, preventing any stray ships from wandering
into restricted areas. The shipyards, run by Bilbringi Control under the command of General Drost,
drastically stepped up warship production during Grand Admiral Thrawn's offensive against the New
Republic. During this period of construction the yards ran short of strategic metals, prompting an Imperial
raid of Nkllon's Nomad City. Bilbringi was the site where twenty-two asteroids were fitted with cloaking
devices for Thrawn's siege of Coruscant; later, an attack on the shipyards by the smugglers Mazzic and
Ellor resulted in the demolition of a nearly-completed Star Destroyer. The New Republic attacked the
Bilbringi shipyards after giving the false impression that Tangrene was their target, and ran into a carefully-
prepared trap set by Thrawn. Help from a coalition of smugglers (who had planned to steal Bilbringi's
CGT array to sell to the New Republic) allowed Ackbar's fleet to escape the trap and defeat Thrawn's
forces. [LC]

Bimmisaari
Bimmisaari is inhabited by a species of short, half-furred, yellow-clad aliens called Bimms. Attractions on
the planet include their unusual moving trees, the Tower of Law, a three-level, two-hundred year old
marketplace, and the city of Glastro, which is surrounded by asaari woods. All weapons of violence are
banned from Bimmisaari's main city. Several years ago, the Bimm Glah Ubooki discovered a crashed
Imperial R&D vessel and, together with seven of his brothers, sold the prototype weapons found on the
wreck. The eighteen identical Glah brothers have since opened import businesses around the galaxy,
selling strange and unusual items. Each brother insists that he is Glah Ubooki, though his confused
customers often insist otherwise. Five years after the Battle of Endor, a commando team of Noghri
attempted to kidnap Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa Solo during their diplomatic mission to Bimmisaari.
[HTTE, SWAJ]

Black Nebula
The Black Nebula is located in the region of space known as Parfadi, separating the planets Arat Fraca and
Motexx. The nebula contains two immense neutron stars and is considered to be unnavigable. The pirate
Roark Slader once delivered a cargo of plexite ore to a group of rogue starship fitters in the Black Nebula.
[SWAJ, SOL]

Blackmoon
(see Borleias)

Bnach
Bnach is an Imperial prison planet. According to the smuggler Toob Ancher, he and Kaine Paulsen once
had a shoot-out with sector cops on Bnach, though the veracity of this story is doubtful. [SWAJ]

Boeus sector
Located in the Expansion Region, the Boeus sector was formerly Imperial territory under the command of
Imperial Governor Darvon Jewett. Jewett made overtures to the New Republic after Imperial forces
withdrew from his sector soon after the Battle of Endor, and managed to keep trade and communications
flowing throughout his region. [SWAJ]

Bofa II
The Empire's surveillance probes for the surrounding sector were distributed from an Imperial cargo
transfer area near Bofa II. An Alliance team captured a loaded freighter from this transfer area following
the Battle of Yavin, and altered the probes in order to disguise the movements of the Rebel fleet. [FP]

Bonadan
An industrialized, heavily-populated factory world in the system of the same name, Bonadan is one of the
busiest ports in the Corporate Sector. The constant air traffic is regulated by the highly-advanced systems
of Traffic Control. Its yellow, parched surface is highly eroded, and its topsoil has been destroyed due to
countless drilling and construction projects. The remaining surface is covered with factories, refineries,
docks, and shipbuilding facilities located in ten spaceports, the largest of which is Bonadan Spaceport
Southeast II. This sprawling city, composed of low permacite buildings on fusion-formed soil, contains an
Espo command post, an Authority Merchant Marine academy, the Landing Zone bar, the Alien Quarter, and
the luxurious Imperial hotel. Mountains are located northwest of the city along with a massive weather-
control station. Weapons are banned on Bonadan, and being caught with one by the omnipresent weapons
detectors is grounds for immediate arrest. The planet is home to the popular Bonadan Blasters shockball
team, which is heavily merchandised by the Corporate Sector Authority.

The modified protocol droid C-3PX managed to assassinate the brother of Vojak on Bonadan by using
concealed, internal weaponry. Han Solo was involved in a high-speed swoop chase during an early visit to
Bonadan. The smuggler Shug Ninx rescued a mile-long shaft for a Death Star prototype from a Bonadan
industrial junkyard, then had it installed as an entrance to his repair facility on Nar Shaddaa. Six years after
the Battle of Endor, a faulty timer manufactured on Bonadan resulted in the failure of a Galaxy Gun
projectile to explode, which gave the New Republic high command enough time to evacuate their base in
Nespis VIII. Twelve years after Endor, the 60,000 surviving residents of Alderaan had embassies on
Coruscant and Bonadan. [HSR, DE, D, CSSB, EE, SOL]

Bonadan system
The Bonadan system, located in the Corporate Sector, contains the planets Bonadan and Roonadan, among
others. Prior to the Battle of Yavin, Alliance Y-wings destroyed a large convoy left unprotected in the
Bonadan system. [HSR, CSSB, FP]

Boordii
Han Solo and Lando Calrissian made a botched dolfrimia run on Boordii. Han is still angry with Lando
about Lando's seeming overconfidence during the run. [HTTE]

Boranda
Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, Han Solo came to the planet Jubilar to make a smuggling run and
assumed the false identity of Luke Morgavi, an independent trader from Boranda. [TBH]

Borcorash
Points of interest on Borcorash include the Resinem Entertainment Complex. Sometime around the Battle
of Endor, a gambling hall down the street from the Resinem complex was destroyed in a bombing. Fifteen
years after Endor, the smuggler Mazzic met with a Kubaz criminal on the top floor of the Resinem, and his
Mistryl bodyguard Shada D'ukal saved him from an assassination attempt. Animal life on the planet
includes the feathered blufferavian. [SOTP]

Bordal
A planet located in the Taroon system on the outer edges of the Rim. For nearly twenty years, Bordal was
involved in a devastating war with its sister planet Kuan, until the conflict was suddenly ended by the
intervention of the Empire. The natives of Bordal are referred to as Bordali. [TSC]

Borgo Prime
A large, honeycombed asteroid home to a seedy spaceport and disreputable trade center. The Borgo Prime
asteroid was gradually hollowed out over the years by various mining operations, which ended when the
last valuable ores were extracted more than a century ago. The asteroid's tunnels and excavations are now
filled with space docks, prefabricated buildings, and gaudily-lit storefronts. The business district is located
in the asteroid's core. Shanko's Hive, a tavern owned by an insectoid barkeep, is a cone-shaped structure
rising a quarter-kilometer from the inner floor. It is protected by its own atmosphere field, and is decorated
with burning candles, incense, and flaming bog-pits. Captain Zothip, leader of the Cavrilhu pirate gang
fifteen years after Endor, was known to have financial associates on Borgo Prime. Lando Calrissian's
Corusca gem broker was also located on the asteroid, and Luke Skywalker and Tenel Ka contacted the
broker nineteen years after the Battle of Endor in an attempt to learn who had purchased his latest
shipment. Approximately a year later, the untrained bounty hunter Zekk came to Borgo Prime to seek
employment for his first hunt. [YJK, YJK2, SOTP]

Borkeen Belt
A large, highly-dangerous asteroid belt that is also home to a massive space slug, according to the book A
Slug Named Grendel. [SWS]

Borleias (Blackmoon)
The fourth planet in the Pyria system, Borleias is a steamy, blue-green world with a single dark moon,
which gives the system its Alliance codename of Blackmoon. The only inhabited world in the system,
Borleias lacks most valuable natural resources and passes through a dense meteor shower once each year.
The density of Borleias' sector of space means that there are only a limited number of hyperspace routes to
and from the world, but it still sits at a favorable hyperspace crossroads. It is less than five hours
hyperspace travel from Borleias to Mrisst, and about twenty hours from Borleias to Coruscant. The planet's
barren moon has a thin atmosphere and is covered with silent craters, frozen lava tubes, and canyons of
black volcanic rock.

The Old Republic first established a small base on Borleias for the purpose of plotting runs to the Corporate
Sector and elsewhere. The Alderaan Biotics hydroponics facility, a producer of Alderaanian foodstuffs,
was also built on Borleias' far side, but over the years it was abandoned and left to the care of maintenance
droids. The Empire eventually took control of the Republic base, adding shields, ion cannons, and TIE
squadrons for its defense. The installation's commander, General Evir Derricote, also discovered the
forgotten Biotics facility and made it profitable once more, while secretly siphoning Imperial credits and
resources to make his headquarters more powerful and secure than it would otherwise appear to be.
Because of the Pyria system's close proximity to the galactic core, the Rebel Alliance chose to capture
Borleias and make it their key to hitting Coruscant, some three years after the Battle of Endor. During their
first attack, however, the Alliance greatly underestimated the defensive strength of the Blackmoon
installation and were soundly defeated. On the return mission less than a month later, Rogue Squadron
pilots torpedoed a power conduit at the end of a rift valley to help bring down the base's shields, while a
commando team captured the facility from the ground. This attack was a success, and Borleias became the
new operations and staging base for Rogue Squadron. The battle damaged most of the installation's surface
buildings, so the New Republic set up shop in the underground foundations. The Alderaan Biotics facility
was later used to produce rylca in treating the deadly Krytos virus. Later still, the New Republic used
Borleias as a starfighter training base and staging area for the Green Squadron Y-wing group.
Approximately four years after Endor, the members of Wraith Squadron relaxed on the Borleian beaches
following their participation in the Battle of Ession. [XWRS, XWWG, XWKT, XWWS]

Borlov
Homeworld of the timid, feathered aliens known as Borlovians, who communicate in whistles. Borlovians
live in a medieval social structure, and value stability -- few ever leave their home cities, let alone their
planet. Before the formation of the Empire, the smuggler Booster Terrik traveled to Borlov, where he
joined up with a Borlovian noble named Llollulion. [SWAJ]

Bormea sector
Located in the Core, the Bormea sector makes up one half of the Ringali Shell. Its prestigious and ancient
worlds include Corulag, Chandrila, and Brentaal, and it also contains the intersection of the Perlemian
Trade Route and the Hydian Way. The sector is ruled by Moff Jamson Caglio. [SWAJ]

Bortras
Jorus C'baoth, the Jedi Master, was born on the planet Bortras in the Reithcas sector on 4/3/112, Pre-
Empire date. [DFR]

Bosch
Senator Tuomi represents Bosch and four other planets (constituting one billion citizens) in the New
Republic government. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, Tuomi raised a short-lived challenge to Chief
of State Leia Organa Solo's leadership by claiming that Alderaan's destruction had disqualified her from
representing a legitimate territory. [SOL]

Bosph
The planet Bosph, home to the four-armed aliens also known as Bosphs, was nearly destroyed by the
Empire in a devastating orbital bombardment. Numerous reasons for the attack have been proposed, but it
is possible the Empire was implementing a religious purge. The philosophical Bosphs owned outdated
technology, and most were allowed no personal possessions. Only the greatest Bosphs, called "farseers,"
were given glyphs -- when these Bosphs placed their glyph on an object, it became theirs. The aliens kept a
record of their galactic travels by tattooing elaborate star maps on their skin, and were skilled at playing the
complex Bosphon Geddy musical instrument. The Outer Rim smuggler Bora Boru is one of the few
surviving Bosphs in the galaxy, and carries a staff topped with Bosph StarCrystals. [SWAJ]

Bothan sector
Presumably containing the worlds of Bothawui and Kothlis. The Bothan sector was liberated in a battle
during the Noolian Crisis. [PS]

Bothawui
Orbited by a single moon, Bothawui (presumably in the Bothan sector) is a cosmopolitan, sunny, clean,
well-organized world about five days' hyperspace travel from Tatooine. The homeworld of the Bothan
species was nominally controlled by the Imperials, but was as close to "neutral territory" as was allowed
under the Emperor's rule. Spies from every criminal organization and political faction can be found on
Bothawui, and the Bothan spynet is considered to be the finest in the galaxy. Points of interest include the
Intergalactic Trade Mission and the Combined Clans Center building near Merchant's Square, located in the
glistening capital city of Drev'starn. New Republic Councilor Borsk Fey'lya, though he was actually born
on the Bothan colony world of Kothlis, keeps a home range on Bothawui featuring open, treeless savannas.
Another notable Bothan is Peshk Vri'syk, a graduate of the Bothan Martial Academy and onetime member
of the Alliance's famed Rogue Squadron. Familial bonds are very strong in Bothan society. The ancient
meditative art of jeswandi is said to have turned the tide of many battles. The native language is called
Bothan.
Long before the Battle of Yavin, when Palpatine was still a senator, a group of Bothans helped Palpatine's
agents sabotage Caamas' shield generators. Sometime around the Battle of Yavin, a Star Destroyer and an
Imperial dungeon ship arrived at Bothawui. They landed drop ships and soon controlled Lktim, one of the
planet's largest cities. It is unclear whether the Empire was there to transport a group of political prisoners,
or whether they intended to arrest the Bothan diplomat Tereb Ab'Lon (who was secretly working for the
Alliance). Prior to the Battle of Endor, when Bothan spies uncovered the fact that the plans for the second
Death Star would soon be shipped to Bothawui on a small freighter, the Bothan spymaster Koth Melan
quickly informed the Rebel Alliance. Luke Skywalker and Dash Rendar hastily organized a raiding squad
at a mountain base two hours from Drev'starn. The capture mission was a success, but many Bothan pilots
were killed. In make it appear as if they were concerned with the loss of the freighter, the Empire captured
several Bothan ships near Bothawui and interrogated their crew. This led them to the space station Kothlis
II, near Kothlis. Three years after Endor, the Bothan general Laryn Kre'fey (operating on incomplete
intelligence data) planned Rogue Squadron's disastrous first attack on Borleias. Fifteen years after Endor,
the Combined Bothan Clans were deeply in debt due to bad business decisions and could not afford to
purchase the surviving natives of Caamas a new planet. Leia Organa Solo and Han Solo went to Bothawui
to confirm the dire financial situation, and were caught in an anti-Bothan riot in which Han was framed as a
shooter. Soon afterwards, a Leresen attack force destroyed a crystal plant in orbit around the planet, killing
twenty-one Bothans. [DFR, XWRS, SWAJ, TSC, XW, XWWG, XWKT, SOTE, PS, SOTP]

Botor Enclave
A group of worlds, including the frozen planet Kerensik, that formed their own protective federation during
the turmoil and constant warfare in the six years following the Battle of Endor. [DESB]

Boudolayz
Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, the New Republic searched the old Imperial archive on Boudolayz
in the hopes of finding the names of the Bothans involved in the Caamas tragedy. [SOTP]

Bovo Yagen
Bovo Yagen was the third star targeted for destruction during the starbuster crisis, fourteen years after the
Battle of Endor. One source claims the system contains one planet with a population of eight million, while
another source lists the system's population as twelve million, spread across two planets and numerous
asteroids and space stations. The star was saved at the last instant when Centerpoint Station (the starbuster
weapon) was disabled by a planetary repulsor beam. [AAS, SAC]

Bpfassh
A double planet with a complicated system of moons in the Bpfassh system, located near Praesitlyn and
Sluis Van in the Sluis sector. During the Clone Wars some Bpfasshi Dark Jedi created trouble throughout
the sector, and a Jedi task force (including Jorus C'baoth) was formed to oppose them. One Dark Jedi made
it as far as Dagobah before his death. Because of the insurrection, most Bpfasshi today dislike all Jedi.
Bpfassh was also the target of a hit-and-fade attack by Grand Admiral Thrawn and the site of an attempted
abduction of Leia Organa Solo. During their search for Delta Source, Leia and Winter analyzed an
intelligence report from the Bpfassh system suggesting the Star Destroyer Chimaera was at Anchoron.
[HTTE, LC]

Brachnis Chorios
Brachnis Chorios, in the Meridian sector, is the outermost world of the Chorios systems and appears ice-
green and lavender from space. Nine years after the Battle of Endor, Leia Organa Solo made a secret visit
to a rendezvous point near Brachnis Chorios' largest moon to meet with Seti Ashgad of Nam Chorios.
[POT]

Bradden
(see Dom-Bradden)
Bragkis
Han Solo once spent time in a million-credit betting parlor on Bragkis. He was reminded of this while
watching displays in the New Republic's War Hall twelve years after the Battle of Endor. [SOL]

Brak sector
The Brak sector contains the planet Bacrana. [SWAJ]

Brath Qella
(see Qella)

Braxant sector
The Braxant sector, at the boundary between the Outer Rim and Unknown Space, contains the planet
Bastion. Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, with the shrinking Empire under Admiral Pellaeon's
leadership, the Empire's new capital world was located on Bastion. Moff Disra was chief administrator of
the Braxant sector and ruler of Bastion. He was also supreme commander of the Braxant Sector Fleet.
[SOTP]

Breeka
A hot dry world similar to Tatooine, Breeka is said to be one of the worlds that the various reptilian species
in the dewback family are native to. [XW]

Brentaal
Located in the Bormea sector of the Core Worlds, Brentaal sits at the strategic intersection of the Perlemian
Trade Route and the Hydian Way. Brentaal is a dry planet whose eight continents are separated by small
salty oceans. Most available land on the wealthy world is covered with starports, industrial facilities, and
thriving trade markets. The planet once endured high levels of pollution, though this has been largely
alleviated in recent years. Life on Brentaal revolves around commerce, and the planet is efficiently run by
the Brentaal Houses -- noble families who control various guilds and aspects of commerce and trade.
Representatives from the Houses meet daily in the capital city's Trade Hall to plan economic policy. Most
of Brentaal's 65 billion citizens are involved in some manner with the trade and shipping business, and
many megacorporations are based on the planet. The Houses are overseen by the wealthy Imperial
Governor Jerrod Maclain.

For thousands of years Brentaal was the major rendezvous point for those heading to and returning from the
Colonies region, and its markets were naturally the first to receive exotic goods from these expeditions.
Over 6000 years ago, during the Old Republic's early Manderon Period, a set of antique pistols later owned
by the jatz musician Fitz Roi were created on Brentaal. 3000 years ago, the legendary pioneer woman
Freia Kallea helped explore Brentaal space and single-handedly blazed the Hydian Way. The smuggler
Platt Okeefe, a native of Brentaal, spent a great deal of time in the Brentaal spaceport as a child. [SWAJ]

Briggia
A blue planet, Briggia was the former location of an Alliance base. It was the first target of the Empire's
Operation Strike Fear, prior to the Battle of Yavin, and was immediately evacuated by Alliance personnel.
[FP]

Brigia
Located in the remote Tion Hegemony, Brigia is a backwater planet inhabited by tall, purple-skinned
humanoids. All ships landing on Brigia must undergo phase-one decontamination procedures. The Brigian
government, the New Regime, has established a planet-wide monetary system and made it illegal for
citizens to hold off-world currency. It also made a large purchase of secondhand military equipment,
including an outdated Marauder-class pocket-cruiser. The University of Rudrig agreed to help establish a
college on Brigia despite opposition from the New Regime and its Inner Council. University
representatives hired Han Solo to deliver the necessary teaching supplies, and the Brigian government
attempted to intervene. Approximately two years prior to the Battle of Yavin, a small group of colonists left
Brigia to found New Brigia, a chromite mining operation located just within the borders of the Koornacht
Cluster. [HSLL, BTS]

Brochiib
One of the Trianii colony worlds within the disputed border of the Corporate Sector. The Trianii Rangers
Atuarre and Keeheen stopped a group of thionarx dealers on Brochiib. [CSSB]

Broest system
Located in the Core Worlds, the Broest system contains one of the eighteen farming planets administered
by the Salliche Ag Corporation. After the Battle of Endor, workers in the Yulant, Ruan, and Broest systems
revolted against the Imperially-controlled Salliche Ag by burning fields and destroying hydroponics
facilities. [SWAJ]

Bruanii sector
The Bruanii sector, near the Tungra and Javin sectors, was home to a Mugaari space depot. The Calamari
cruiser Lulsla, stationed at this depot, was the launch point for Alliance strikes into the Javin sector on
Imperial space platform D-34, following the Battle of Hoth. The Lulsla was completely destroyed by the
Empire in a retaliatory strike. [TSC]

Bryexx
The famous chef Porcellus once worked for the Imperial official Yndis Mylore, governor of Bryexx and
Moff of the Varvenna sector. During his tenure Porcellus served meals for the Emperor himself, but he was
made a slave to Jabba the Hutt approximately one year prior to the Battle of Yavin. [TFJP]

Bryx
The planet Bryx, led by Governor Carigan, was conquered by the Empire in the days before the rise of the
Rebel Alliance. Carigan defended his world with hundreds of ground-based guns and submersible fighter
carriers, and Imperial forces triumphed only after a long and bloody battle in which thousands of troops
were killed. Carigan's effective planetary defensive tactics have since been termed the "Carigan Defense."
[SWAJ]

Bseto system
The Bseto system contains the white dwarf star also called Bseto, around which orbit the uninhabited
planets Bseto I and Indikir. The Lweilot Asteroid Belt, 90 million kilometers wide, occupies the next
orbital slot, and it is in turn followed by the frozen planet of Sarahwiee, site of a secret Imperial research
facility. [SWAJ]

Budpock
Located in the Meridian sector, Budpock has long been one of the Rebel Alliance's most loyal supporters.
One of the planet's ports is Dimmit Station. Nine years after the Battle of Endor, two New Republic
cruisers were dispatched from the Orbital Station on Durren to investigate a possible breach of the truce
between Budpock and Ampliquen. Two more cruisers, these from the naval base on Cybloc XII, were sent
to deal with a pirate fleet from Budpock. [POT]

Byblos
Byblos, in the Colonies region, is an urban world with an extremely massive population. Most of the
planet's 164 billion inhabitants live in hundreds of huge city towers, architectural wonders which can run
up to 5000 levels tall. The base of the towers are industrial levels, and most structures flare out as they rise,
creating a hollow interior capped by a clear transparisteel dome which acts as a central lighting well. Each
tower has a specific purpose -- there are corporate, residential, starport, and Imperial garrison towers. One
tower is completely taken up by the prestigious University of Byblos, and tubeways connect the various
towers to one another. Byblos is a major manufacturing center for high technology and military equipment,
though the planet must import most foodstuffs. The world is ruled by an Imperial governor. [SWAJ]

Byss
Byss, the homeworld of the one-eyed Abyssin, travels in an unusual figure-eight orbit between the binary
stars of Byss and Abyss. Byss is a hot, arid planet, and temperatures reach their highest when the planet is
orbiting directly between both stars, a time known as "the Burning." Most plant life on Byss utilize
extensive taproots to extract underground water, while animals rely on scattered oases and their own water-
storing capabilities. The nomadic, violent Abyssin lead primitive lives, engaging in tribal wars and tending
to their flocks of cowlike gaunts. Byss is largely ignored in galactic trade, its one substantial export being
the Abyssin themselves as slaves. [GG4]

Byss
Formerly located in the heart of the Deep Galactic Core, the now-destroyed planet Byss was Emperor
Palpatine's private world and the center of his reborn Empire six years after the Battle of Endor. The secret
planet was accessible only through certain encoded routes, due to the near-impossibility of navigating
through the dense mass of stars found in the Deep Core. Byss and its five moons were in a binary system
and orbited both a blue star and blue dwarf star. Tectonically stable, with almost no axial tilt, it was an
extremely pleasant world of plateaus and canyons seldom bothered by storms, earthquakes, or other violent
phenomena. Microscopic life in the many lakes and rivers was nourished by the blue-green sunlight. The
planet's flora was dominated by lichens and ferns, while its fauna was primarily nocturnal and mostly
harmless. While Byss had no native intelligent species, the planet contained several ruins dating from
before the Expansion Era.

Years ago, Emperor Palpatine chose the world as his private retreat, and Imperial architects and engineers
were commissioned to build him an opulent palace. Several million humans per month, lured by the
rumors of a paradise planet, were allowed to emigrate to Byss -- where the Emperor and his Dark Side
Adepts began feeding off their life energies. The planet's population reached almost 20 billion, and all
outgoing communications were censored by security agents. Byss was well-guarded against attack with
powerful planetary shields, hunter-killer probots, and the Imperial Hyperspace Security Net, and contained
orbital drydocks for the massive World Devastators and the more recent Galaxy Gun. The Imperial control
sector covered most of one continent, and Palpatine's kilometers-high Imperial Citadel could be found at its
center. The vast Citadel contained gardens, museums, the Emperor's Clone Labs, barracks for Imperial
troopers, and a fully-equipped dungeon; it was guarded by advanced turbolasers and dangerous monsters
called "Chrysalides" or Chrysalis Beasts. Certain freight haulers were specially licensed to ship to the
protected Deep Core, where they delivered their cargoes to the heavily-defended Imperial Freight Complex.
The Freight Complex, on the outskirts of the Emperor's ruling city, was three kilometers wide, nearly 168
kilometers high, and was tethered to an orbital satellite for added stability. It contained a popular spacers'
hangout known as the Byss Bistro.

Following the Battle of Endor, Grand Vizier Sate Pestage was impeached and stripped of authority by those
who feared he might claim the title of Emperor for himself. Pestage retreated to Byss, where he prepared
for Palpatine's expected return. The Emperor did indeed manage to survive his "death" at Endor, and his
spirit returned to Byss to inhabit a new clone body. Weakened by the difficult journey, Palpatine
convalesced on Byss for years before finally taking his revenge against the New Republic six years after
the Battle of Endor. During this period, Luke Skywalker attempted to learn the secrets of the Dark Side as
the Emperor's apprentice after a Mandalorian prison ship delivered him to Byss. Later that year, Lando
Calrissian and Wedge Antilles led an unsuccessful attack on the Imperial Citadel using a cargo of hijacked
Viper Automadon battle droids. Soon after, in a battle near Onderon, Lando Calrissian and a team of
commandos hijacked the Emperor's flagship Eclipse II and brought it through hyperspace to Byss. R2-D2
steered the Eclipse II on a collision course with the Galaxy Gun, which accidentally fired a planet-
destroying missile into Byss' core, utterly destroying the Emperor's throneworld. [DE, DE2, DESB, EE]

Caamas
Long before the Battle of Yavin but after the Clone Wars, when Palpatine was still a senator, he engineered
the devastation of the planet Caamas to eliminate opposition to his plan to become Emperor. The Caamasi
natives were artistic, wise, and free-thinking, and believed in peace through moral strength. They were
almost universally loved throughout the galaxy. A group of Bothans helped Palpatine's agents sabotage
Caamas' shield generators, paving the way for a sudden, violent attack that sent destructive firestorms
raging across the world. Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, a copy of the Caamas document (detailing
Bothan involvement in the tragedy) was discovered on Wayland. The release of the document touched off a
flood of sympathy and a demand for the Bothans to purchase an uninhabited world for the surviving
Caamasi to settle. [SOTP]

Cadezia
A prosperous technology and commerce center located in the Trulalis system. [SWAJ]

Cal
The yellow star orbited by Tibrin, homeworld of the Ishi Tib. [GG4]

Cal-Seti
A planet home to the docking port known as Ramsees Hed. Following the Battle of Yavin, Alliance agent
Kyle Katarn placed a tracking device on a smuggling ship at Ramsees Hed, which led Katarn to an Imperial
robotics facility on Anteevy. [DF]

Calamari
(see Mon Calamari)

Calus
A planet located in the system of the same name. The region of space known as Keller's Void acts as a
shortcut between the Calus and Wroona systems. [SWAJ]

Caprioril
A tranquil world in the galactic core, Caprioril was the site of the infamous assassin droid tragedy in which
a droid slaughtered 20,000 people (including famous racer Ignar Ominaz) at a swoop arena in order to
assassinate Governor Amel Bakli. Mara Jade briefly worked under the name Marellis as a come-up flector
for a Caprioril swoop gang following the death of the Emperor. Caprioril was named a sector capital by the
New Republic, and was besieged by Imperial forces during the Emperor's reappearance six years after the
Battle of Endor. Around this time, Alliance historian Arhul Hextrophon survived an assassination attempt
while visiting the planet and traveled to Chandrila to recuperate. [DFR, SWS, DESB, SWAJ]

Capza
Located within the Velcar Free Commerce Zone in the Pentastar Alignment, Capza is a lush tropical world
ringed with high escarpments. It is also the luxurious home of Commerce Master Commissioner Gregor
Raquoran, who uses the planet's natives as his personal servants. [SWAJ]

Carconth
Carconth is a red supergiant star, the second largest and seventh brightest of all known stars in the galaxy.
It has been under a supernova watch for the last 600 years. Twelve years after Endor, while searching for
Lando Calrissian and the Teljkon vagabond, Colonel Pakkpekatt came to Carconth aboard the Lady Luck to
investigate an anomaly. When he arrived, the yacht was taken over by a beckon call slave circuit. [TT]

Cardooine
Home of the fragrant Fijisi wood. Sections of the President's Guests floor in the Imperial Palace on
Coruscant are done in Fijisi wood from Cardooine. The A-wing fighter that Tycho Celchu flew during the
Battle of Endor had Fijisi wood paneling in the interior, and was likely built on Cardooine. A disease from
the planet is called the Cardooine Chills -- its symptoms include aches, fatigue, coughing, and an intense
appetite. [LC, XWBW]

Cardua system
The Cardua system borders the Xorth system and contains many asteroid belts. The rich ore in these
asteroids is mined by the system's settlers, in the service of the Empire. [TSC]

Carida
One of several planets in the Carida system, Carida was once a large, high-gravity world with a wide
variety of terrain, orbited by two moons and a debris field (the remains of a former "mascot moon"). The
native Caridans were humanoid aliens with thin limbs and heavy barrel chests. Carida was the location of
the most important Imperial military training center and academy, known for its engineering curriculum,
which contained a main citadel building surrounded by a towering wall. The Imperial Military Training
Base held over 150,000 cadets and instructors. The Academy took up less than 10 percent of the total base,
but produced 100% of the officers. The Military Academy was also known as Cliffside due to the 500-foot
drop-off that ran the east length of the parade grounds. During graduation ceremonies, cadets were ordered
to march along the edge of the cliff and risk plummeting to their deaths. The parade grounds were also
known as the quad and were informally called the "grinder" by cadets. The Academy's hospital (decorated
with stone neks) was located on the west edge of the quad, not far from the administration building
(decorated with bronze mantigrues). Carida's varied surface consisted of rocky mountains, frozen ice fields
and arctic wastes, jungles filled with carnivorous plants, and arid deserts (including the Forgofshar Desert)
that were home to poisonous, multilegged reptiles. Stormtrooper candidates underwent harsh training in
these environments to prepare themselves for action on a variety of worlds. Caridan combat arachnids
were crimson, twelve-legged creatures covered with spines, that communicated on a hypersonic level.
They were bred for their fighting abilities as well as their valuable, diamond-hard chitinous exoskeletons.

Han Solo trained on Carida after enrolling in the Imperial Academy. During Solo's tenure, approximately
seven years before the Battle of Yavin, cadet Mako Spince blew up the academy's "mascot moon" with a
gram of antimatter in a spectacular prank. Solo later graduated from the Carida academy with honors,
along with famed Imperial fighter ace Baron Soontir Fel. Dash Rendar also attended the academy, until he
was dishonorably discharged after his older brother crashed a freighter into the Emperor's private museum
on Coruscant. Admiral Daala attended the Caridan academy before her private appointment to Tarkin's
staff. Immediately after the annihilation of Alderaan, several of the Death Star's designers were transferred
from the battle station to Carida. Ambassador Furgan was the Caridan representative to the New Republic
and oversaw the development of the MT-AT "spider walker," and Admiral Ackbar's aide Terpfen underwent
torture and reconditioning on the planet in the hopes that he would serve as an Imperial puppet. Carida was
utterly destroyed seven years after the Battle of Endor when Kyp Durron caused its star to go nova through
the use of the Sun Crusher. [JS, DA, COTF, COTJ, TFTC, TFJP, DFSFE, SOTE, PS, HG, XW]

Carosi
Carosi is the site of a busy starport and many pleasure-domes, some of which use synthdroids -- centrally-
controlled mechanicals covered in quasi-living flesh. Animal life on the planet includes the Carosi pup.
Carosi's larger moon houses a synthdroid factory operated by the Loronar Corporation. [POT]

Carratos
Carratos is located forty parsecs from Coruscant. When Talsava, a member of the Fallanassi Order,
betrayed her group to the Empire, she was banished from Lucazec and insisted on taking her daughter
Akanah with her to Carratos. The two settled in the poverty-stricken Chofin settlement. Soon after, the
Empire erected a planetary garrison and levied stiff taxes against anyone wishing to leave. Talsava
abandoned her daughter when Akanah was only fifteen. The Empire eventually abandoned Carratos and
order collapsed; the "liberty movement" destroyed all existing governmental records. Akanah later married
a man named Andras Pell and inherited his ship, then left the planet enlist Luke Skywalker in her quest to
rejoin the Fallanassi twelve years after the Battle of Endor. [BTS, SOL, TT]

Carto Asteroid Belt

The Carto Asteroid Belt is located close to several hyperspace trade lanes. The notorious Drek Drednar and
his pirate crew often tow large asteroids from the belt and place them in the trade lanes, where the rocks
create a gravity shadow and often force unsuspecting ships from hyperspace. [SWAJ]

Casfield 6
Six vessels once malfunctioned while trying to land on Casfield 6, when the droid languages used in the
landing codes caused their shipboard computers to fail. [NR]

Cathar
The homeworld of a feline alien species. The Jedi knights Sylvar and Crado, who trained under Vodo-
Siosk Baas four thousand years ago, were natives of Cathar. Two other Cathar were members of a big-
game hunting expedition to Hoth, eight years after the Battle of Endor. [DLOS, DS]

Cattamascar
The site of an early engagement for the Ssi-ruuvi fleet, where they experienced an emergency reorient.
[TAB]

Cauldron Nebula
A huge, rainbow-colored nebula composed of hydrogen, oxygen, and neon clouds from seven closely-
orbiting blue supergiant stars. The closest habitable world to the nebula is Eol Sha, where colonists
mounted an unsuccessful attempt to mine the nebula's gasses. The gas clouds and electromagnetic
radiation in the nebula made it an ideal hiding place for Admiral Daala's Star Destroyers, until Kyp Durron
caused all seven stars to go nova through his use of the Sun Crusher. Brakiss, leader of the Shadow
Academy, had a picture of the seven Cauldron Nebula novas in his private office. [DA, YJK]

Cavrilhu?
The Cavrilhu pirate gang may hail from a planet called Cavrilhu, though they have been reported using
Amorris and the Kauron system as bases. Imperial Moff Disra had a secret arrangement with the Cavrilhu
Pirates, who were led by Captain Zothip fifteen years after the Battle of Endor. [DFR, SOTP]

Cedre system
A lifeless system with a blue star, located about three light years from Dathomir. [COPL]

Cejansij
Located in the system of the same name, Cejansij is home to the Canyonade, a vast chasm stretching ten
kilometers long and half a kilometer wide. Buildings are built into the side of the canyon and all along its
base. Curving skyarches connect one side with another, and are arranged in diamond-shaped clusters of
nine. The Grand Rim Promenade (thirty meters wide in some spots) runs along the east wall of the
Canyonade, and has existed for over three hundred years without any repulsorlift support. The Promenade
features scattered vending areas and meditation gardens near the cliff wall and a protective mesh guardrail
on the opposite side. At the base of the Canyonade is a park called Tranquillity Common and a tapcafe
called ThoughtsAreFreedom. The residents are called Cejansiji. Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor,
Luke Skywalker came to Cejansij, where he encountered the smuggler Talon Karrde. [SOTP]
Celanon
Celanon, in the system of the same name in the Outer Rim, is said to have a "multicolored skyline" due to
its numerous holographic advertising boards. Celanon's two main industries are agriculture and the
commerce that flows into Celanon City. The planet's spaceport is well-defended and very busy. The
Celanon system is also home to the mammoth consortium known as Pravaat, which manufactures and sells
uniforms to interested parties. Prior to the Battle of Yavin, an explosive device was loaded onto an Imperial
freighter at Celanon. The device was later stolen by the Alliance and used to demolish the Star Destroyer
Invincible. Nine years after the Battle of Endor, a looter named Captain Bortrek attempted to steal R2-D2
and C-3PO and take them to Celanon. [COTJ, CSSB, FP, POT]

Celdaru
Imperial General Sulamar, who worked with Durga the Hutt on the Darksaber project, was known to boast
of his commanding role as the Scourge of Celdaru. [DS]

Centerpoint Station
An enormous gray-white space station in the Corellian system, located at the balance point between the
twin worlds of Talus and Tralus. Centerpoint presumably draws its power from the gravitational interflux
between the Double Worlds. The ancient station, built before the invention of artificial grav, spins on its
axis to provide centrifugal gravity. It is composed of a central sphere one hundred kilometers in diameter,
with long, thick cylinders jutting from either side of the globe. The ends of the cylinders are referred to as
the North and South Poles. The entire station is approximately three hundred fifty kilometers in length,
even larger than the infamous Death Star. Centerpoint's simulated gravity becomes stronger the farther
"down" one travels in the sphere, away from the axis of rotation. Several studies have been made on
shifting the station over to artificial grav, but they have been abandoned due to expense and unknown side-
effects. Centerpoint is completely covered with a bewildering array of piping, cables, antennae, cone
structures and access ports; it would take several lifetimes to explore the vast and complex interior and
exterior of the station.

Hollowtown is the name given to the open sphere in the exact center of the station, which measures sixty
kilometers in diameter. The walls of Hollowtown have long been colonized with homes, parks, lakes,
orchards, and farmland, which received heat and light from the Glowpoint -- an artificial sun suspended in
the exact center of the sphere. To simulate night, farmers installed adjustable shadow-shields, which
appeared as bright patches of gold or silver from above. On both sides of the Hollowtown sphere,
positioned along the spin axis, is a large cone ringed by six smaller cones; the sets are called the North and
South Conical Mountains. Surrounding Hollowtown, and making up the remainder of the central sphere,
are two thousand levels of decks and "shells" (decks which measure twenty meters high or more), with
Shell One lying closest to Hollowtown.

Centerpoint is believed to be a hyperspace repulsor, used in ancient times to transport the five Corellian
planets into their current orbits from an unknown location. At some point the station was colonized, and
Hollowtown -- which is actually a power-containment battery for the massive energy of firing a tractor-
repulsor hyperspace burst -- became inhabited. Centerpoint remained stable for thousands of years, until
the Saccorian Triad discovered that the station could destroy stars with a precise hyperspace shot from its
South Pole. Two stars were targeted and destroyed, each accompanied by intense flareups in the
Glowpoint. The small sun increased in heat so rapidly that Hollowtown and most of its inhabitants were
completely incinerated during the first such incident. The Fed-Dub government immediately evacuated the
remaining Centerpoint inhabitants to the Double Worlds, leaving Chief Operations Officer Jenica Sonsen in
charge of the station. When word spread of the Hollowtown disaster it sparked several rebellions on Talus
and Tralus. A group of starfighters representing one of the rebellions claimed the nearly-abandoned station
for themselves, until chased off by a Bakuran cruiser. The massive interdiction and jamming fields, thrown
over the entire Corellian system, were also generated from Centerpoint and activated by the Triad. The
Triad's fleet was later defeated by New Republic and Bakuran forces, and the planned destruction of Bovo
Yagen was averted at the last instant when a shot from the repulsor on Drall disrupted Centerpoint's firing
process. [AAC, AAS, SAC]

Chad
Chad (also called Chadra and Chad III) is an ocean world orbiting the blue-white star of the same name.
Despite the appelation Chad III, the planet is actually the fourth planet in its system. It is the homeworld of
the sociable, rodent-like Chadra-Fan and also houses the deep-water ranches of human colonists. Chad's
nine moons create a pulsing system of tides, and various clans of Chadra-Fan inhabit the bayous among the
red gum-tree forests and cyperill trees. The Chadra-Fan do not bother to construct permanent structures
due to the unpredictability of destructive hurricanes -- in fact, a "death wave" wiped out much of their
civilization just ten years ago. Most Chadra-Fan machinery is powered by methane, and most technology
is primitive by galactic standards. Despite this, many Chadra-Fan items are valued as exports due to the
care and craftsmanship that went into their design. Life in Chad III's deep oceans include the long-necked
cetaceans called tsaelkes, hunters called wystohs, phosphorescent tubular eels, and the fish-lizards called
cy'een. The Jedi knight Callista was originally from Chad III, and worked a deep-water ranch on an ark
with her family, where they herded the semi-sentient wander-kelp. The ark followed the herds along Chad
III's Algic Current, which runs between Chad's equator and its Arctic Circle. Callista was later called away
to Bespin by the Jedi master Djinn Altis. [GG4, TFTC, COTJ, DS]

Chaila
The second planet in the Garos system. [SWAJ]

Chalcedon
A rocky, volcanic world with a semi-breathable atmosphere, Chalcedon is a key hub in the galactic slave
trade. The planet features dry, violent storms, frequent earthquakes and no indigenous lifeforms, though
two colonies and a way station have been established on its surface. Many buildings and other items in the
cities are constructed from dark volcanic glass. Traders and peasants inhabit the bazaars, while the
bureaucrats (boneless, trunked aliens) live in the cities and control the slave trade. [CS]

Chamble
Located in the Mid-Rim, Chamble is home to the corporate offices for Bansche Tech, a major manufacturer
of black-market assassin droid components. Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, Imperial officials
nationalized Bansche Tech along with several other droid corporations, and set up garrisons around
Chamble's manufacturing plants. [SWAJ]

Chandrila
Chandrila is located in the Bormea sector of the Core Worlds, along the Perlemian Trade Route. The
agricultural planet's two main continents are covered with rolling, grassy plains. The inhabitants of
Chandrila have a remarkably low birth rate, keeping the world's population of 1.2 billion in check, and tend
to live in scattered, small communities instead of large metropolises. All citizens have a direct voice in
government, and are known for vociferously arguing politics among each other. The planet is ruled by the
democratic Chandrilan House, which is overseen by Imperial Governor Gerald Weizel. Weizel, a rather
aloof leader appointed as a replacement for Grandon Holleck, rules from the Imperial base on the outskirts
of Hanna, Chandrila's capital. Sights on the planet include the attractive Gladean State Parks, a wild game
reserve near Hanna, Brionelle Memorial Military Academy, and a dacha owned by Alliance founder Mon
Mothma on the shores of Lake Sah'Ot. The Chandrilans also keep elaborate gardens and many other
symbols of natural beauty.

Chandrila is famous as the homeworld of Mon Mothma, whose father was an arbiter-general of the Old
Republic. Mon Mothma's mother was the governor of a port city on the shores of the Silver Sea. Canna
Omonda was named Chandrila's representative to the Imperial Senate after Mon Mothma's resignation from
that office. When Senator Omonda criticized the Emperor for disbanding the Senate, Palpatine charged
Omonda with treason and sent three Star Destroyers to Chandrila to seize her; her public execution was
scheduled during Coruscant's Fete Week. Later, the Empire placed stiff agricultural tariffs on the Bormea
sector which were clearly designed to hurt Chandrila, one of the largest agricultural exporters in the Core
Worlds. Six months after the Battle of Endor, the Empire deployed seven Star Destroyers to Chandrila
where they enforced a strict blockade of the planet. The reasons for this are unknown, but it is believed that
Grand Vizier Sate Pestage may have implemented a plan to hold Chandrila hostage in case New Republic
forces were able to threaten Coruscant. During the Emperor's reappearance six years after the Battle of
Endor, Alliance historian Arhul Hextrophon traveled to Chandrila to recuperate from injuries received on
Caprioril. Avan Post, who served in the Clone Wars and was later killed by Palpatine, was a Jedi Master
from Chandrila. Dev Sibwarra (the Ssi-ruuk's human liaison) was originally from Chandrila, though his
family fled to G'rho during the Jedi purge. The Imperial stormtrooper Triv Pothman also lived on the
planet, until his reassignment to Pzob to await the Eye of Palpatine. Admiral Drayson, head of the secret
New Republic intelligence operation Alpha Blue, was once the admiral of the Chandrila Defense Fleet.
Lando Calrissian made many profitable smuggling runs under the nose of Drayson and his fleet of
warships. [TAB, SWS, COTJ, DESB, SWAJ, BTS, XWKT]

Chardaan Shipyards
An Alliance space facility composed of pressurized spheres, where workers could build space vehicles in a
zero-g environment. The shipyards produced a wide variety of Alliance starfighters, from the Y-wing to the
E-wing, until they were devastated by Colonel Cronus and his fleet of Victory-class Star Destroyers eight
years after the Battle of Endor. [DS]

Charmath
Site of the University of Charmath. Alliance historian Arhul Hextrophon searched through old, classified
data files at the University in order to find the hidden location of Yoda. [SWS]

Charubah
A technological world in the Hapes cluster, Charubah manufactures the Hapan Gun of Command. Those
shot with the gun's electromagnetic wave field lose the ability to make rational decisions, and tend to
follow any orders given them. [COPL]

Chazwa
Located in the Chazwa system and the Orus sector, Chazwa orbits a tiny white dwarf sun. Its central
transshipment location means that heavy freight traffic is a common sight in the system. The smugglers
Talon Karrde and Samuel Tomas Gillespee battled two Imperial Lancers at Chazwa, and later it was used as
a rendezvous for Karrde, Par'tah, and Clyngunn the Ze'Hethbra to discuss actions against Grand Admiral
Thrawn. [LC]

Choi
The homeworld of the mildly telepathic alien species also called Choi. Over four thousand years ago, the
Choi known as Susejo was eaten by the Sarlacc in Tatooine's Dune Sea. [TFJP]

Chokan system
Han Solo and Prince Isolder both worked as smugglers in the Chokan system years ago. Isolder continued
to work there despite the rise of the Empire and a deadly plague in the area because he was seeing a woman
in the system. [COPL]
Chorax system
Located in the Rachuk sector with the Hensara and Rachuk systems, the Chorax system contains a medium-
sized yellow star and a single planet, Chorax. The system is a hotbed for smuggling and piracy. Some
three years after the Battle of Endor, Rogue Squadron was skirting the Chorax system on a hyperspace
jump to the Morobe system when they were accidentally yanked from hyperspace by the Interdictor cruiser
Black Asp. The Rogues rescued the cruiser's true target, the smuggling ship Pulsar Skate, and forced the
Black Asp to flee the system. After they resigned from the military, Rogue Squadron hijacked a Thyferran
bacta convoy in the system and brought it to Halanit. [XWRS, XWBW]

Chorios II
A violet-white star in the Chorios systems of the Meridian sector, orbited by the planet Nam Chorios.
[POT]

Chorios systems
Located in the Meridian sector, the Chorios systems are made of several systems that go by the name
Chorios, including Nam Chorios, Pedducis Chorios, and Brachnis Chorios. Most of the worlds in the
region are lifeless and barren. The inhabitants of the systems are referred to as Chorians. Nine years after
the Battle of Endor, Leia Organa Solo made a secret visit to a point just outside the Chorios systems to meet
with Seti Ashgad of Nam Chorios. [POT]

Chorlian sector
The Chorlian sector is represented in the New Republic Senate. Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, the
senator from the Chorlian sector participated in a debate about the recently-discovered Caamas document.
[SOTP]

Chroma Zed
The natives of Chroma Zed, called Chromans, are smooth-skinned, wormlike humanoids who burrow deep
beneath their world's damp ground. The planet's water is badly contaminated with petroleum, and will
catch fire if ignited. Chroma Zed has spectacular natural amphitheaters; one juts out from a cliff face and is
bordered on either side by a split waterfall. The Empire forced the Chromans to work as miners on other
worlds, and would leave one Chroman out to bake in the hot sun in order to ensure the others' cooperation.
Approximately twenty years after the Battle of Endor, Nolaa Tarkona visited Chroma Zed to give a speech
on behalf of the Diversity Alliance. [YJK2]

Chrondre
The site of one battle during a multi-pronged attack by Grand Admiral Thrawn. The Star Destroyer
Nemesis participated in this battle, which was actually a diversion to draw attention away from Thrawn's
true target of Ukio. [LC]

Churba
The planet Churba, located in the Mid-Rim in the sector of the same name, is home to the corporate offices
for Sencil Corp, a major manufacturer of black-market assassin droid components. Sometime after the
Battle of Yavin, Imperial officials nationalized Sencil Corp along with several other droid corporations,
giving them control of the Mid-Rim droid market. A decommissioned dreadnaught was once stationed
above Churba as an orbital war museum. Prior to the Battle of Yavin, the Rebel Alliance stole the
dreadnaught, repaired it for active duty, and rechristened it New Hope. During Wedge Antilles' undercover
mission to Coruscant, he posed as an Imperial pilot and arrived on the passenger liner Jewel of Churba.
Churba is also the homeworld of Imperial Intelligence agent Kirtan Loor and Rogue Squadron pilot Dar
Keyis. [XWRS, SWAJ, XWWG, DFSFE, XW]

Churba sector
The Churba sector, located in the Mid-Rim, contains the planets Churba and New Cov. Four Bothan ships
once attacked a Victory-class Star Destroyer in the Churba sector, and kept it occupied until an Alliance
Star Cruiser could assist them. [DFR, XWRS, SWAJ]

Cificap VIII
Following the Battle of Yavin, several Imperial freighters filled with Habassan prisoners were scheduled to
rendezvous with the frigate Mayhem near Cificap VIII. The Habassans were rescued by an Alliance strike
force. [FP]

Cilpar
A formerly Imperially-held planet covered with mountains, jungles, and forests. Dozens of ancient native
temples, predating the human settlements on Cilpar and nearly indestructible, can be found scattered
throughout the forest. Animal life on Cilpar includes the dangerous carnivores called ronks, which are
attracted to light and highly allergic to oratay. Male ronks are considered a delicacy on Cilpar, though
females are instantly fatal if eaten. Other foodstuffs sold on-planet include mundis and thrashed puerco.
Indigenous plant life includes the scavenging lipi flower which feeds on dead meat. Cilpar’s local Moff
was Boren Tascl, and its planetary ruler was Governor Norquest. The pair had a palace stronghold in the
main city of Kiidan, and seemed prepared to turn Imperial facilities over to the Alliance following the death
of the Emperor. Instead, Moff Tascl rejected the deal and wiped out two suburbs of a Cilpari city, including
the neighborhood of Tamarack. Other points of interest on the planet include Spacer's Street in Mos
Tommro Spaceport.

Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron arrived on Cilpar after the Battle of Endor and set up a base in the
mountains, west of Kiidan. They were to pick up food and supplies from the Cilpari resistance and escort
the convoy to Mrlsst, but instead they ran into a waiting TIE fighter ambush. Wedge’s contact with the
Cilpari underground was a mysterious woman known only as Targeter, later revealed as Princess Leia’s
assistant Winter. Elscol Loro, leader of the Cilpari resistance, represented the legitimate local government
of the planet; her husband Throm had been killed years before fighting Moff Tascl's forces at the Battle of
the Cliffs. After a long battle, Moff Tascl and Governor Norquest were overthrown by the resistance, as the
expected Imperial reinforcements decided to abandon the duo. Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor,
Lando Calrissian came to Cilpar to see if he could hire mercenaries to protect his operation on Varn. [XW,
SOTP]

Circarpous system
The populous Circarpous system encompasses fourteen planets orbiting the star Circarpous Major, and is
located near the planet Gyndine. Prior to the Battle of Yavin, three Alliance X-wings entered the
Circarpous system to test Imperial defenses near Circarpous IV. All TIE fighters sent to engage the fighters
were destroyed, which left a profound impression on the Circarpousians. Later, the Star Destroyer Intrepid
became stranded in the Circarpous system and was subsequently destroyed by Alliance starfighters. Soon
after the Battle of Yavin, the Circarpousians were very close to joining the Rebel Alliance, and one other
star system was willing to commit to the Rebel cause if Circarpous would do so first. For this reason,
Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa were sent Circarpous IV to meet with government officials and
leaders of resistance groups from all over the system. [SME, FP]

Circarpous IV
The fourth and primary planet in the Circarpous system, Circarpous IV is a hectic, thriving private-
enterprise world that maintains capital punishment for many crimes. After the Battle of Yavin, Luke
Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa were sent to Circarpous IV to meet with government officials and
resistance leaders, and convince their system to join the Rebel Alliance. On the way, the pair crashed on
Circarpous V. [SME]

Circarpous V
(see Mimban)
Circarpous X
The tenth planet in the Circarpous system, Circarpous X is the site of a small colony established by the
Circarpousians. [SME]

Circarpous XII
The twelfth planet in the Circarpous system, Circarpous XII is the site of a small colony established by the
Circarpousians. [SME]

Circarpous XIV
The fourteenth and final planet in the Circarpous system, Circarpous XIV is home to a small hidden Rebel
outpost. Soon after the Battle of Yavin, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa departed from the Rebel
base on XIV to attend a meeting with resistance leaders on Circarpous IV. [SME]

Circumtore
Circumtore is the home base of the Shell Hutts, a small Hutt clan that broke away from other Hutts long
ago and encased themselves in armored cylinders of durasteel. These shells, supported by repulsorlifts,
give the Hutts protection from unshielded radiation and possess exterior grasping arms for the manipulation
of objects. The insignia of the Shell Hutts resembles a tortoise. Circumtore is a ring-shaped artificial
planetoid with a dark violet sky; the terminal and diplomatic reception site is at the center of administrative
complex and can be recognized by its distinctive spires and domes. Black spiderlike droids perform
customs inspections for all visitors to Circumtore. Years ago, Gheeta the Shell Hutt was placed in charge of
designing the terminal and diplomatic reception site, and he hired one of the top architects in the galaxy.
Knowing he would be killed when he completed the job, the architect hired Boba Fett to rescue him from
Circumtore, and in return buried a fully-charged reactor core beneath the central dais in the grand reception
hall. Just after the Battle of Yavin, the Shell Hutts decided to shelter a fugitive Lyunesi comm-handler
named Oph Nar Dinnid; Boba Fett, Bossk, Zuckuss, IG-88, and D'harhan came to Circumtore to capture
Dinnid. Though the target was dead by the time they arrived, Fett used the buried reactor core to power
D'harhan's built-in laser cannon and blast their way out of the grand reception hall. [MA]

Clak'dor VII
Located in the Mayagil sector, Clak'dor VII is a small planet orbiting the large white star Colu and is the
homeworld of the peaceful, highly-evolved Bith. Clak'dor VII was once a lush garden world with
incredibly advanced technologies, but is currently an ecological wasteland featuring bubbling pink swamps
due to a conflict between two Bith cities, Nozho and Weogar. The two cities, generations ago, unleashed
gene-altering biological weapons on each other, mutating the planet's surface and forcing all surviving
Biths to live in hermetically sealed domed cities. Clak'dor VII, due to the disaster, is unable to produce
either basic needs for its citizens or goods for export and thus many Biths sell their intellectual abilities for
employment as technical consultants. One food product produced by Bith hydroponic tanks are the
nutritious (but flavorless) cubes called "bepps." A Bith pilot named Herian I'ngre became a member of the
famed Rogue Squadron a few months after the Battle of Endor. Twelve years after Endor, after Tig Peramis
of Walalla withdrew his planet from the New Republic, Nara Deega of Clak'dor VII was seated on the
Defense Council in Peramis' place. [GG4, COTJ, TFTC, SOL, XW]

Clendoran
In the years prior to the Battle of Endor Lando Calrissian won the deed to a Clendoran brewery when he
destroyed the Norulac pirates at the Battle of Taanab on a bet. [SWAJ]

Colu
The large white star circled by Clak'dor VII, home planet of the Bith. [GG4]

Columus
Homeworld of the Columi, Columus is a small world with an extremely low gravity. Columus is a
completely flat, muddy planet with no erosionary forces and a wide variety of plant life. The Columi, a
highly technological and intellectual species, inhabit high cities supported by sturdy pylons. The Columi
disdain physical exertion and prefer to remain on Columus, developing their minds and helping to run their
society through a participatory democracy. Apparently Columus voluntarily joined the Empire. [GG4]

Colunda sector
The Colunda sector, containing the planet Nyasko, was a former hotbed of Rebel activity. An AT-AT group
stationed on Nyasko was kept busy keeping down the uprisings. [DESB]

Colundra sector
Lando Calrissian planned to follow up on a promising deal in the Colundra sector after finishing his
military service during the Emperor's reappearance. [DESB]

Commenor
Commenor, in the system of the same name, lies just outside the Core Worlds near Corellia. Its largest
moon is Folor, where the Alliance established a starfighter training center. A great deal of shipping traffic
passes through the system. In the years after the Battle of Endor, Commenor's government dealt with both
the New Republic and the Empire, including the numerous Imperial warlords. Han Solo once joked that he
exchanged his sense of chivalry for a ten-carat crysopaz and three bottles of brandy on Commenor. Tycho
Celchu defected to the Alliance at Commenor, immediately following the destruction of Alderaan.
Approximately four years after the Battle of Endor, the government of Commenor gave Warlord Zsinj's
Star Destroyer Implacable permission to conduct "military exercises" above Folor and cleared Orbital
Spaceyard Three-Oh-One for the ship's arrival. [SWN, XWRS, XWBW, XWWS]

Cona
Cona, the homeworld of the triangle-headed Arcona, is a hot, dense world orbiting the blue giant Teke Ro.
Due to Cona's lack of axial tilt and temperature-distributing air currents, the climate is effectively the same
everywhere on the planet's surface. Cona's atmosphere contains a high concentration of ammonia, and
water is often found only in the gastric pods of Cona's plant life. The Arcona, who obtain water by digging
out plant pods with their burrowing claws, live in loose communities of family nests and are easily addicted
to salt. Many galactic companies have established mining colonies on Cona. The H'nemthe female
M'iiyoom Onith was held over on Tatooine after returning from a visit to her sister on Cona. [GG4, TFTC]

Concord Dawn
The infamous bounty hunter Boba Fett was originally known as Journeyman Protector Jaster Mereel on the
planet Concord Dawn. Mereel was imprisoned for killing a fellow Protector, and unsuccessfully defended
in court by the Pleader Iving Creel. He was then exiled from that planet forever, and eventually became an
Imperial stormtrooper before beginning work as a bounty hunter. Cheating is considered a capital offense
on Concord Dawn. One of the planet's senior magistrates, a Devaronian, was known to be sympathetic to
the anti-human actions of the Diversity Alliance. [TBH, YJK2]

Contruum
Contruum starships must follow established naming procedures: capital ships are named after virtues, while
transports are named after beasts of burden or rivers. Alliance General Airen Cracken and his son, fighter
pilot Pash Cracken, are both from Contruum. [XWWG]

Corellia
Corellia, located in the Corellian sector and system, orbits the star Corell with four other habitable planets.
The inhabited worlds are called the Five Brothers, and Corellia is often referred to as the Elder Brother.
Corellia, apparently orbited by several moons, is an attractive world, with farms, small towns, and cities
located between rolling hills, narrow seas, fields, forests, deserts, and scattered pockets of razor grass and
flowering dorva vines. Animal life includes the Corellian sea ray, the Corellian clam, the corpse-grub, the
gluttonbug, the catlike tabaga, the doglike canoid, the ratlike vrelt, the Corellian scavenge-rat, the extinct
paledor (or palador), and the Corellian sand panther, a dangerous predator with poisoned claws. A local
disease is Corellian tanamen fever. Points of interest include the Gold Beaches, the city of Kolene, the port
city of Tyrena, the mid-size town of Bela Vistal, the crystal swamps of Agrilat, the landmark Tabletop
Mesa, and the capital city of Coronet, located on the coast. Unlike many cities, Coronet has many wide
open spaces -- small buildings and trading stalls separated by parks and plazas. The center of government
in Coronet is the twenty-story Corona House, formerly inhabited by sector Governor-General
Micamberlecto.

Treasure Ship Row in Coronet, adjacent to Meteor Way and Starline Avenue, was formerly an eclectic
bazaar catering to species from every corner of the galaxy. The galactic civil war and the Corellians'
increasing isolation, however, caused a sharp decline in the trading industry, and Treasure Ship Row and
other areas like it are now deserted. Although all three Corellian species (human, Selonian, and Drall)
mingle freely in Coronet, the collapse of the Empire's central authority has led to separatist sentiment and
anti-alien factions like the Human League. Beneath the surface of Corellia lies a vast network of tunnels
built over thousands of years and home to many Selonians. Archeological excavation has recently begun
on a series of underground chambers dating from pre-Republic days. Within this ancient complex is a vast
planetary repulsor, once used to move the planet to its current orbit from an unknown location. Corellia
was formerly ruled by a royal family, but became a republic three centuries ago after Berethon e Solo
introduced democracy to the system. During the Empire's reign, Palpatine never appointed an Imperial
governor to rule Corellia. Han Solo was picked up by the con-artist Garris Shrike on the waterfront near
Capital Spaceport at the age of two; he became the swoop-racing champion of Corellia at the age of 17 and
escaped from Shrike two years later. Soon after, he returned to Corellia with his new love Bria Tharen, and
visited her family's elaborate estate on the southern continent. After parting with Solo, Bria Tharen joined a
resistance group and worked undercover in the largest Imperial military base on Corellia. Approximately
three years before Yavin, Han Solo returned to Corellia to raise money for a sabacc championship on
Bespin. Three years after the Battle of Endor, the main Imperial battle fleets garrisoned key worlds,
including Corellia and Kuat, due to their valuable shipyards. Fourteen years after Endor, a riot in the
Selonian enclave of Bela Vistal touched off widespread chaos and triggered the takeover of Corellia's
government by Thrackan Sal-Solo and the Human League. The Human League was defeated, and Sal-Solo
captured, by the intervention of the New Republic and a Bakuran task force. [COPL, AAC, AAS, SAC,
TFJP, XWRS, XWBW, MTS, SOTE, PS, HG, MA]

Corellian sector
The Corellian sector, located in the most thickly-populated portion of the galaxy, contains the Corellian
system and dozens of others known as the "Outlier" systems (including the Sacorrian and Talfaglio
systems). The Corellians have a reputation for keeping to themselves, and the Outlier systems are known
to be even more secretive. Moff Fliry Vorru was in charge of the Corellian sector during the Old Republic,
and allowed smugglers free reign throughout the sector until he was sent to Kessel by Prince Xizor. The
sector was then ruled by the Corellian Diktat, a title held by Dupas Thomree during the early years of the
war against the Rebellion. Thomree consolidated his power during these years and caused the sector to
become more isolated. After Thomree's death, Daclif Gallamby became Diktat and reduced the levels of
Corellian military support for the Empire. After the Emperor's death, many powerful Imperials fled to the
sector and supported the Diktat. Approximately three years after Endor, Diktat Gallamby dissolved the
Corellian Security Force and established a new, more Diktat-friendly Public Safety Service in its place, but
Gallamby eventually disappeared into the Outlier systems. The most recent head of the sector, Governor-
General Micamberlecto, had the backing of the New Republic but very little power or influence. Fourteen
years after the Battle of Endor, the armies of the Sacorrian Triad attempted to force the New Republic into
recognizing the Corellian sector as an independent state by controlling the starbuster weapon. At the same
time, Thrackan Sal-Solo attempted to doublecross the Triad and seize power for himself. Both groups were
defeated by New Republic representatives and a Bakuran task force. Micamberlecto was killed during the
crisis, and Leia Organa Solo was expected to name Duchess Marcha of Mastigophorous the new Governor-
General of the sector. Admiral Mordon of the Star Destroyer Vengeance was from one of the Outlier
systems of the Corellian sector. He kept venomous plants from his home system in his private retreat on
board the Vengeance. [AAC, AAS, SAC, XWRS, TSC, XWWG, XWKT, XWBW]

Corellian system
The Corellian system, located in the Corellian sector, contains five inhabited worlds -- Corellia, Selonia,
Drall, Talus, and Tralus -- collectively referred to as the Five Brothers. The five worlds have such close
orbits that some theorists believe the entire system was created by unknown entities long ago. Recently,
powerful repulsors have been discovered beneath the surface of each planet that seem to indicate they were
moved into their current orbits from some unknown location. Centerpoint Station, located directly between
the Double Worlds of Talus and Tralus, is the ancient device that theoretically was used to transport the five
planets through hyperspace. The system is inhabited primarily by humans, Selonians, and Drall (though
the latter two species are rarely seen outside the system), and is policed by both the Corellian Defense
Force and the Corellian Security Force, or CorSec. Pilots from the Corellian system are known throughout
the galaxy for their superb skills, and the system is also notorious for its smugglers and pirates. The
human-run Corellian Engineering Corporation's shipyards are famous throughout the galaxy for their long,
distinguished manufacture of a vast variety of starships. Due to the strategic importance of these stardocks,
the Empire kept the system heavily defended after the Battle of Endor. Some disreputable Corellian
spaceports are known to construct unreliable, patched-together ships commonly called "Uglies." The
system also contains a large space station called Gus Treta. It was in the Corellian system that Mon
Mothma convinced three major resistance groups to join forces, which marked the beginning of the Rebel
Alliance.

A famous Corellian work of literature is The Fall of the Sun by Erwithat, and a respected honor is the red
trouser piping known as the Corellian Bloodstripe, awarded by the Corellian government for extraordinary
heroism (usually through military service). Corellians are known to hold the importance of family in high
esteem. Other Corellian traditions include ryshcate, a dark brown sweetcake made with vweliu nuts, which
is traditionally baked and served at important celebrations, and Jedi Credits or JedCreds, was were
commemorative medallions made when a Corellian Jedi became a Master. Corellian food is typically
greasy and heavy, and traditional dishes include charbote root and mounder potato rice. The language
known as Old Corellian, though it has been essentially extinct for 4000 years, still survives among
smugglers and pirates. Notable Corellians include Han Solo, General Crix Madine, General Garm Bel
Iblis, Dengar the bounty hunter, and Wedge Antilles. Nejaa Halcyon was a respected Jedi Master from
Corellia who was killed during the Clone Wars. [SW, MTS, COTJ, HSLL, DFR, AAC, AAS, SAC, FP,

Corellian Trade Spine

(see Trade Spine)

Corfai
After resupplying on Wistril, the Star Destroyer Chimaera was planning to join the Stormhawk and ambush
a New Republic convoy near Corfai. [DFR]

Coriallis
During the New Republic's retreat from Coruscant six years after the Battle of Endor, Taryn Clancy of the
Core Courier Service was enlisted to deliver a rendezvous location to one of the New Republic battle fleets.
After escaping Coruscant, Clancy changed course at Coriallis before proceeding to her destination.
Sergeant Zeck Tambell, an Imperial investigator on the planet Stassia, was a native of Coriallis. [SWAJ]

Corlass
The planet Corlass has a long tradition of piracy, dating back to the earliest days of primitive sailing ships
on the planet's seas. Points of interest on the world include Quori City, which was built in a complex maze-
like pattern. Tron Nixx, a navigator in Drek Drednar's pirate crew, grew up on Corlass. [SWAJ]
Corporate Sector
Consisting of tens of thousands of star systems, the Corporate Sector is a free-enterprise fief located on the
edge of the galaxy, bordered by the Aparo and Wyl sectors and not far from the Nirauan system. The
Corporate Sector is as wealthy and influential as the richest sectors in Imperial space, and the skylines of its
many urban worlds are lit by the multicolored flashes of countless advertising signs. It offers the widest
selection of products anywhere, and tourists come from all over the galaxy to purchase its unique goods.
The entire sector is run by a single corporation, known as the Corporate Sector Authority (CSA). The CSA
is composed of dozens of contributing companies (over 1000 companies are currently on the waiting list to
join) and is run by the 55 members of the Direx Board, who are in turn headed by the ExO. The CSA has
exclusive rights to use the sector's resources as they see fit -- typically they use up a planet and move on to
another one, and are not above using slave labor or grossly polluting the environment. Since it has no
internal competition, the CSA can mark up the prices of their goods to many times their actual worth, and
businesses in the sector do not accept any currency except Authority Cash Vouchers and crystalline
vertexes. A portion of the CSA's enormous profits were secretly funneled to Emperor Palpatine, with the
understanding that the Empire would take no direct role in the operation of the sector. Therefore, the
protective CSA has formed its own military forces, including Security Police (or "Espos") and a
comparatively poor and outdated starfleet. Planets in the Corporate Sector, in addition to its sterile,
climate-controlled capitol worlds, include Ammuud, Bonadan, Roonadan, Etti IV, Kalla, Kail, Orron III,
Duroon, Mytus VII, Gaurick, Rampa, Mall'ordian, Reltooine, Knolstee, Mayro, Drog VI, Saffalore, Ession,
and the Trianii colony worlds of Fibuli, Ekibo, Pypin, and Brochiib. The feline Trianii have been actively
opposing the Corporate Sector's annexation of their worlds, and much of the fighting occurred in the Tingel
Arm. An armistice in this conflict has recently been called after three years of fighting.

Originally established several hundred years ago by the Old Republic, the Corporate Sector was once a
group of several hundred systems all devoid of intelligent life. The corporations allowed to operate in the
sector could purchase entire regions of space, but were held in check by the watchful eye of the Republic.
During the Emperor's rise to power, however, several corporate allies of Palpatine convinced him to expand
the sector to encompass nearly 30,000 stars. Eleven native intelligent species were discovered in this
expanded region, though this fact has been effectively covered up. The CSA was soon established to
manage all aspects of the sector's operations, and thus the "modern" era of the Corporate Sector began.
Han Solo and Chewbacca had several legendary exploits in the Corporate Sector during their early
adventuring, including a jailbreak from the infamous Stars' End prison. Following the Battle of Hoth, the
Corporate Sector company Galactic Electronics developed a new "mag pulse" weapons technology and
sold it to the Rebel Alliance. In retaliation, the Imperial Star Destroyer Glory traveled to the sector and
seized the corporation's deep-space research facility. Emperor Palpatine once had plans to build a great
palace for himself in the sector, and construction continued even after Palpatine's supposed death at the
Battle of Endor. Six years later, during the Emperor's reappearance, the Corporate Sector declared its
neutrality in the conflict and began supplying weapons and arms to both sides. [HSSE, HSR, DESB,

Corridan
Corridan is located in the former center of the Empire's Rim territories. During the Empire's reign, the
Black Sword Command was charged with the defense of Praxlis, Corridan, and the entire Kokash and
Farlax sectors. [BTS]

Corsin
Located in the Greater Plooriod Cluster, Corsin was a beautiful world known for its love of life until it was
forcibly subjugated by Imperial troops. Alliance historian Voren Na'al witnessed the start of the military
occupation while covering the prestigious swoop races on Corsin. [MTS]

Corstris
A forested planet on which Han Solo spent some time as part of his Alliance duties. [LC]
Cortina
During the early days of the New Republic, the worlds of Cortina and Jandur came to Coruscant to petition
for membership. Though they initially seemed prideful and arrogant, both planets eventually signed the
standard articles of confederation. [BTS]

Corulag
Corulag and its several moons are located In the Bormea sector of the Core Worlds, along the Perlemian
Trade Route. A rather unremarkable planet, Corulag is totally devoted to Emperor Palpatine and the
principles of his New Order, and is viewed as a "model" world of proper Imperial behavior. Its fifteen
billion citizens enjoy the many benefits of a productive and prosperous economy, and the planet is home to
several large corporations. Corulag's capital city is Curamelle and its government is run by an elected
House of Citizens, which is presided over by Imperial Governor Zafiel Snopps. Curamelle boasts the
Corulag Academy, a branch of the Empire-wide military school that is only slightly less prestigious than the
famous Raithal Academy. An Imperial Navy base and training facility are located on Corulag's largest
moon. Meysen Kayson, wealthy owner of the Greel Wood Logging Corporation in the Pii system, was
born on Corulag. New Republic General Edor Crespin is also a native of Corulag. [SWAJ, XWWS]

Coruscant
The governmental capital of the galaxy for generations, Coruscant and its two moons orbit far from a small
white sun in the Core Worlds. Located in the system of the same name near the Kaikielius and Metellos
systems, Coruscant is known as the "Scintillant Planet" in old songs and was renamed Imperial Center
during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. Coruscant's coordinates are zero-zero-zero on all standard
navigational charts, a clear sign of its long history and galaxy-spanning influence. The Coruscant system
contains a sixth planet (not Coruscant itself) and a resort moon called Hesperidium. Coruscant's entire
landmass is covered by an enormous, multileveled city (now called Imperial City) whose foundations have
been in place since the beginning of the Old Republic, over a thousand generations ago. The oldest and
densest population centers border the equator, where the surface is sometimes four kilometers from the tops
of the highest buildings. Towering skyscrapers (some extending to the lower fringes of the atmosphere)
and numerous spaceports cover Imperial City, and its sky is filled with the lights of arriving and departing
air traffic. Kitelike hawk-bats make their homes in the artificial canyons, hunting granite slugs on the
lower levels. The complex multileveled surface makes weather in Imperial City particularly difficult to
predict. To the south of the city lie the snow-covered Manarai Mountains.

The pyramidal Imperial Palace, formerly known as the Presidential Palace, is constructed of gray-green
rock and sparkling crystals, and is taller than all other structures on the planet including the neighboring
Senate building. The Palace is said to be an impregnable fortress and is decorated with hanging gardens,
marble pyramids, and crystal roofs, while some areas were decorated by the Emperor with patterns based
on ancient Sith hieroglyphics. The entire building contains 20,000 rooms and over fifty connected
structures, including a rumored treasure compartment built by "the pirate general" Toleph-Sor. The Palace's
main passageway is the Grand Corridor, which links the Council chamber with the assemblage auditorium,
and which has a cross hallway lined with suites (including Leia Organa Solo's office) that leads to the Inner
Council meeting room. The Grand Corridor, personally designed by Emperor Palpatine, features a high
ceiling and cutglass windows, and is lined with greenish-purple, vibration-sensitive ch'hala trees (revealed
to be part of an elaborate surveillance system). Above the Grand Corridor are cafes situated on promenade
balconies, where diners can watch the busy foot traffic below. Memorial Corridor leads to the Senate
chamber, and is lined with statues commemorating the heroes of the Rebellion. All residential floors in the
Palace contain extensive libraries, and the old-fashioned President's Guests floor is done in hand-carved
Fijisi wood. The building also contains a set of turbolifts in the rear and several hidden entrances, installed
by Palpatine when he took control. Some residential areas are found in the section of the Palace known as
the Tower, located on the edge of the building with windows overlooking the city. The personal quarters
for the Chief of State are located deep within the Palace's core, and its "windows" are actually holographic
screens showing panoramic views taken by outside cameras. The Emperor's throne room is a vast sunken
auditorium crowned with a prismatic skylight, and the Emperor also kept a personal observation deck
within the Palace's tallest spire. For public celebrations and speeches, Palpatine would sometimes appear
on the Palatial Balcony. The lower floor of the Palace is entirely dedicated to military operations, and
contains the offices of admirals Ackbar and Drayson and a blast-shielded war room in its center. Adjacent
to the war room is the Crypt, a computer slicing and decoding center. The Palace's command floor contains
offices for Sector Ordnance/Supply and Starfighter Command. One wing of the Palace is a medical area,
while another has been specially modified to accommodate the water-loving Mon Calamari. The structures
in this humid wing are designed to resemble a coral reef, and an enclosed pool containing protoplasmic
glurpfish and other sealife circulates around the rooms. Other areas of the vast Palace include treasuries,
pavilions, prisons, music rooms, cafes, and summer and winter quarters, and decks jutting out from its sides
hold tourism information centers. The Imperial Information Center, an exhaustive storehouse of data, is
located beneath the Palace.

Both Darth Vader's and Prince Xizor's castles lay near the Imperial Palace, though Xizor's castle was
destroyed just before the Battle of Endor. Three hundred kilometers southwest of the Palace is Exmoor, a
vast, opulent estate belonging to the Beruss clan of Illodia. An artificial inland sea west of Imperial City,
known as the Western Sea, hosts phosphorescent water animals and long-winged sea shrikes and features
all-hours resorts on its coast. Darth Vader's private retreat once stood near the Western Sea, until it was
destroyed by a B-wing during the New Republic's recapture of Coruscant. Monument Plaza is a popular
mall built around one of the peaks in the Manarai mountain range, where visitors can actually touch bare
rock. The Menarai, the most exclusive restaurant on Coruscant, is located atop a spire overlooking
Monument Plaza. The West Championne landing field is located 200 kilometers south of the Imperial
Palace, close to the Manarais. About 20 kilometers east of West Championne is the Orowood Tower, a
structure originally built to house Alderaanian refugees. The Solo family owns a private retreat in the
Manarai Mountains, and their main home is located not far from the Palace. Admiral Ackbar and Admiral
Drayson's homes are located near a small body of standing water called Victory Lake. Mon Mothma has a
private estate in the Surtsey region, surrounded by gardens and a tree moat. Sivantlie Base is a former hotel
now used by the New Republic to house idle military units awaiting transport or reassignment. Three
primary spaceports handle most traffic arriving and departing from Imperial City -- Eastport, Westport, and
Newport. For the last three hundred years the clock in the Central Gathering Hall has marked the hour by
spreading a light across the sky, and every evening spectacular gray-green and red auroras flash throughout
Coruscant's atmosphere. Imperial Plaza features a ground-level ferrocrete circle that can be seen from the
tops of the highest towers due to its astonishing breadth. The domed Corellian Sanctuary was built after the
Battle of Endor for exiled Corellians to inter their dead. Spacious, well-protected corridors can be found in
the core of Imperial City, where the wealthy and powerful can stroll unmolested. An Imperial interrogation
facility was located deep within a shielded, reinforced section of one of Coruscant's many towers. Other
attractions on Coruscant include the Galactic Museum (one kilometer south of the Palace, near the Imperial
Justice Court), the Grand Towers, the Skydome Botanical Gardens, the one-kilometer long Grand
Reception Hall, the underground city of Dometown, the Grandis Mon theater, the Holographic Zoo of
Extinct Animals, the University of Coruscant, the Candreal Gardens Center, the Imperial Security
Operations Building, the Headquarters of the New Republic Defense Force, Emperor Palpatine's Arch of
Triumph, the Dhalbreth Square fountain, the Temple of the Circle, the Hotel Imperial, the Admissions and
Testing building for the Imperial Space Academy, the Imperial Bank, the Ice Crypts, the Kallarak
Amphitheater, the Trophill Garden mazes in East Minor, the Southern Enclave region, New Republic
Starfighter Command Headquarters, and the Hasamadhi warehouse district near the South Pole.
Celebrations and festivals included Carnival Week and New Year Fete Week, when Palpatine was known to
hold public executions of his enemies. The traditional Imperial Fair, involving parades and exhibits, was
held in the Pliada di am Imperium. During Coruscant's ancient War Day celebration, laser cannons were
fired off in ceremonial salute.

The lowest, darkest levels of Imperial City were abandoned long ago and are now home to discarded
equipment, wrecked starships, mosses and lichens, spider-roaches and armored borrats, duracrete worms
and shadow-barnacles, wild gangs such as the Lost Ones, and nameless subhumans moving through the
shadows. Due to the danger, the lowest forty or fifty levels are typically restricted from normal traffic.
Many feral animal species (having escaped from former confinement) inhabit these levels, including the
eyeless creatures called "corridor ghouls." A seedy tavern in this area, once called the Crystal Jewel, is said
to have not seen the sun in 90,000 years. Other taverns include the Headquarters, the Hutt Haven, the
Azure Dianoga, and the Glow Spider (on level 132, Megablock 17, block 5, subblock 12). A crowded
district the lowest levels, known as the Southern Underground, contains a large hemispherical shopping
area where Spero the Ho'Din operates a plant store. At the age of two, Jacen and Jaina Solo had an
encounter with a group of former bureaucrats in Coruscant's lowest levels, who had taken up residence
there to escape Palpatine's inevitable anger over a filing error. The ferrocrete walled-off Invisible Sector
(also known as Invisec or the Alien Protection Zone) thrives with illegal activity and aliens of all sizes and
species.

The snow-covered polar regions of Coruscant are home to turbo-ski resorts, and are continuously mined by
ice-boring machines. Since the planet's inland seas and oceans have long since been drained, the melted ice
is delivered by huge pipelines to the densely-populated metropolitan areas. The space surrounding
Coruscant is defended by Golan III orbital battle stations and a low-orbit space-dock facility, while a
powerful energy shield protects the planet itself. Coruscant's skyhooks are giant satellites in low orbit that
serve as self-contained habitats, with opulent parks and beautifully manicured gardens. Both the Emperor
and Prince Xizor had personal skyhooks, which could be reached via turbolifts that ran through the
enormous tethers connecting them to the surface of the planet. All skyhooks were grounded by the New
Republic approximately three years after the Battle of Endor. During the reign of the Empire, Coruscant
was protected by a sophisticated double layer of energy fields -- arriving ships would pass through the outer
shield, which would then close behind them before the inner shield could be opened. Many other
spaceyards help build starships and gigantic habitation spheres, while kilometers-wide orbiting mirrors
focus reflected sunlight onto Coruscant's northern and southern latitudes, raising the temperature slightly to
make the cold regions more habitable. Certain raw materials are mined from a belt of asteroids located on
the fringes of the Coruscant system.

Coruscant was the capital of the Old Republic for many prosperous generations, and the planet's metropolis
was called Republic City. During the Great Droid Revolution on Coruscant millennia ago, Jedi Master
Arca learned techniques for disabling machines through the use of the Force. During the Sith War nearly
four thousand years ago, a force led by Ulic Qel-Droma, Aleema, and the masked warlord Mandalore made
a deadly strike on Coruscant and Qel-Droma succeeded in capturing the Republic war room. But Aleema
was anxious to capture power for herself and ordered their armies to retreat, abandoning Qel-Droma to
capture, trial, and a certain death sentence. During his trial in the Republic Senate Hall, however, Qel-
Droma was rescued by the Sith Lord Exar Kun. During the escape, the Jedi master Vodo Siosk-Baas and
Netus, leader of the Senate, were both killed. Several centuries ago on Coruscant, the Bunkurd Corporation
engineered a special bacterium to break down sewage for recycling; unfortunately, the bacterium caused
severe food poisoning (an affliction known as Bunkurd Sewer Disorder) when it was accidentally ingested
into the digestive system. After the rise of the Empire, the planet's metropolis was renamed Imperial City
and Palpatine took up residence in the Imperial Palace. Among the Emperor's many actions was the
placement of Coruscant's alien population into segregated districts. The Emperor's Court was composed of
ambitious courtesans vying for power, and back-stabbing concubines each hoping to bear Palpatine's child.
Leia Organa attended a reception for the Emperor at the age of eighteen, and Mon Mothma and Bail
Organa met at Chatham House (Organa's home in Imperial City) to plan their organized rebellion against
the Empire. Some ten years before the Battle of Yavin, Han Solo visited Coruscant; after a debacle at the
Imperial Bank, he enrolled in the Imperial Academy and left for Carida. He returned six years later as a
diplomatic envoy from Nal Hutta. Just before the Battle of Yavin, the Alliance destroyed an Imperial repair
dock near Coruscant in an attempt to set back the Death Star project. Following the Battle of Yavin,
Alliance agent Kyle Katarn infiltrated the heavily-guarded Imperial Security Operations building and
procured a decryption key needed to decode a stolen nava card. Katarn managed to escape with the key
despite the intervention of the bounty hunter Boba Fett. Following the Battle of Hoth, the traitorous
Admiral Zaarin attempted a coup d'etat at Coruscant. Zaarin's forces seized Palpatine's personal Star
Destroyer, the Majestic, and placed the Emperor aboard a shuttle on its way to Zaarin's Star Destroyer
Glory. The Emperor was saved by the timely arrival of loyal Imperial forces including Darth Vader, Vice
Admiral Thrawn, and TIE pilot Maarek Stele, but Zaarin managed to escape. Around the same time, Luke
Skywalker, Leia Organa, and others infiltrated Coruscant and destroyed Prince Xizor's castle and skyhook.

After Palpatine's death during the Battle of Endor, Sate Pestage led the Empire briefly for six months until
forced into exile by a group of other Imperial Advisors, who were then supplanted by Internal Security
Director Ysanne Isard. Isard moved into the Imperial Palace and ruled the gradually-shrinking Empire
from Coruscant for several years. About a year after Endor, Rogue Squadron pilot Tycho Celchu went on a
reconnaissance mission to Coruscant and was taken prisoner. Approximately three years after Endor, the
members of Rogue Squadron were sent in undercover to find a way to bring down the planet's double
energy shields. They forced one of the orbital mirrors to focus its beam on a water reservoir, creating a
devastating thunderstorm which shorted out the shields' power grid. Isard allowed the New Republic to
seize the planet, but released the virulent Krytos virus to spoil their triumph. Pilot Corran Horn participated
in the fighting but was captured and imprisoned aboard the Lusankya, a Super Star Destroyer buried
beneath Coruscant's Mountain district southwest of the Manarai range. After Horn escaped, the ship
blasted out of the area, destroying 100 square kilometers of the surrounding city and killing millions.
During the capture the Imperial Palace was shelled and looted, and many members of the Emperor's Court
were killed by Rebel partisans. Coruscant was quickly named the capital of the New Republic. Five years
after Endor, Grand Admiral Thrawn attacked the New Republic on Coruscant and blockaded the planet
using a group of cloaked asteroids. Six years after Endor, following the rebirth of the Emperor, vicious
Imperial attacks forced the New Republic to evacuate the planet. The victorious Imperial factions
(primarily the Emperor's Ruling Circle and the military) then began to fight amongst themselves,
devastating much of Imperial City and filling Coruscant's orbit with wrecked starships. Following the
downfall of the resurrected Emperor, the New Republic recaptured Coruscant and set to work repairing the
extensive damage with the help of 40-story construction droids. Seven years after Endor, Imperial Admiral
Daala planned to cripple the planet with a suicide Star Destroyer strike, but was unable to implement her
plan. Eight years after Endor, Durga the Hutt managed to infiltrate the Imperial Information Center and
retrieve the top-secret Death Star plans. Twelve years after Endor, a petition of no confidence was lodged
against Leia Organa Solo during the Yevethan crisis, but the measure failed. Thirteen years after Endor,
Senate Hall was damaged in a bombing when a series of rigged droids exploded. The Hall was weakened
beyond repair, and the Grand Convocation Chamber of the New Republic Senate was built two years later
to replace it. Nineteen years after Endor, the Second Imperium's Shadow Academy moved to Coruscant
and attacked arriving supply convoys while hiding behind its cloak. The station was revealed when Jaina
Solo overwhelmed the cloaking device with a light beam from one of Coruscant's orbiting mirrors. [HTTE,

Corva sector
Located in the Outer Rim, the Corva sector contains the Triitus, H'ken, Delari, Jaresh, Galaanus, and
Jandoon systems. After the Battle of Endor, the sector was ruled by various Imperial warlords. [SWAJ]

Corvis Minor
A planet with a very unremarkable history. Each residential floor library in the Imperial Palace on
Coruscant contains a multicard set entitled The Complete History of Corvis Minor, which actually holds a
small hand blaster. The same trick was also used aboard Ysanne Isard's Super Star Destroyer Lusankya.
[LC, XWKT]

Coyn
Located in the Elrood sector near the planet Tro'Har, Coyn is the homeworld of the imposing Coynite alien
species. Coynite warriors, standing as tall as 2.8 meters, wear their hair in long braids and carry ceremonial
longaxes called coyn'skars. Under the Coynite Cradle Law, males cannot own their own land, marry, or
disobey their fathers' wishes until they have become adults. In an extreme display of the Cradle Law, a
warrior named Tra'Parr'Sratt fulfilled his insane father's demands by killing his seven brothers, his mother,
and finally his father -- an act praised by other Coynites as the highest example of familial honor.
Tra'Parr'Sratt now works for the gangster Abdi-Badawzi on Socorro. [SWAJ]

Cranan 12
Meysen Kayson, wealthy owner of the Greel Wood Logging Corporation in the Pii system, also owns
several properties on Cranan 12. [SWAJ]

Criton's Point
An isolated planet within the Pentastar Alignment, Criton's Point is located far from any major hyperlanes.
Its arid, desolate surface is covered with ruins that could date from before the foundation of the Old
Republic. Among the many ruins is the mysterious Library of Xer, an ancient storehouse of information
that has thus far resisted all attempts at translation. The planet is zealously guarded by the Pentastar
Alignment, which restricts all access to a small team of historians and scholars. [SWAJ]

Cron Drift
The Cron Drift is located in the Auril sector of the Outer Rim, between the six remaining Auril systems.
The Drift was once a densely-packed group of ten unstable stars known as the Cron Cluster, located in the
Cron system. Nearly four thousand years ago during the Sith War, a Sith ship piloted by Aleema and Crado
lured a pursuing Jedi force into the Cluster. Aleema activated the ancient Sith weapon and ripped the core
from one of the stars, hurling it at the Jedi fleet and destroying it. Unfortunately, this set off a chain
reaction which ignited all ten stars in a multiple supernova, instantly killing Aleema and Crado. The
shockwave from the explosion destroyed three of the nine Auril systems, and necessitated the evacuation of
the great Jedi planet of Ossus. Multicolored gasses from the multiple explosion still fill the area, and
powerful x-rays and gamma radiation help mask any visiting ships from sensor probes. The Drift also
contains a large asteroid belt.

Ploovo Two-For-One was a bunko-steerer out of the Cron Drift, and Han Solo and Chewbacca made an
unsuccessful attempt at clotheslegging in the Drift after leaving the Corporate Sector. The hidden Alliance
listening post Ax-235, located within the Drift's asteroid belt, intercepted what appeared to be the Death
Star technical plans and relayed them to Alliance high command prior to the Battle of Yavin. Around the
same time, a Rebel formation was ambushed by Assault Gunboats in the asteroid belt but was rescued by
X-wing fighters. [HSSE, HSLL, DA, DE2, FP, TSW]

Crseih Station
Crseih Station, formerly stationed near a black hole (with a glowing accretion disk) located in the
intersection of two star clusters, orbited a white dwarf star that was freezing into a quantum crystal. The
station, capable of hyperspace travel, is a cluster of asteroids joined together by gravity fields and
connecting airlink tunnels between the residential domes. The intense X rays of the adjacent black hole
required powerful shielding for the residents and for all visiting ships, and the power required to run the
shields made the station uncomfortably warm. Despite the shields, some X rays penetrated the defenses
and mutated the plant life on the station.

Crseih had been a secret research facility for the Empire and was used by Lord Hethrir, the Procurator of
Justice, as his headquarters. Hethrir tested methods of coercion on unwilling prisoners as the station moved
from system to system, until it was sent to the crystal star in an attempt to use the black hole's power for
military purposes. After the fall of the Empire, the station became a lawless outpost featuring carnivals,
saloons, and aliens from every corner of the galaxy. Crseih was also involved in the slave trade through
Hethrir's actions, and was known as Asylum Station by those in the slaving business. The enigmatic being
called Waru created a cult on Crseih with his healing abilities until he apparently disappeared from this
universe following a confrontation with Luke Skywalker. Crseih Station was then moved to Munto Codru
in order to escape the resultant destruction when the crystallizing white dwarf was swallowed by the black
hole. [CS]

Culroon III
An out-of-the-way planet with an amazing history of violence, Culroon III was largely ignored by the Old
Republic. Due to their constant wars the primitive Culroon never developed space travel, but they did trade
for technological goods including blasters. When the Empire decided to construct a garrison on Culroon
III, the Imperial general in charge of the operation agreed to a ceremonial surrender of the Culroon people
by their leader, Kloff. When this ceremony turned out to be an ambush by the Culroon, the Imperial staff
was rescued by an AT-AT commanded by then-lieutenant Veers. [SWS, MTS]

Cyax system
The Cyax system contains the yellow star Cyax, the planet Da Soocha, and Da Soocha's uncharted fifth
moon, where the Alliance established Pinnacle Base during the Emperor's reappearance. Cyax is the
brightest star that can be seen from the Hutts' ancestral world of Varl, and it featured prominently in Hutt
legends and myths. When the Hutts left Varl for other parts of the galaxy, they respectfully left the Cyax
system unexplored and removed it from their astrogation charts. [DE, DESB]

Cybloc XII
Located in the Meridian sector, Cybloc XII is a small, lifeless moon which houses a major New Republic
fleet installation and serves as an important trading hub. The moon orbits the glowing, green-gold planet of
Cybloc, which circles the star Erg Es 992. Nine years after the Battle of Endor, R2-D2 and C-3PO tried to
reach Cybloc XII in order to alert the New Republic that Leia Organa Solo had been kidnapped by Seti
Ashgad of Nam Chorios. When they finally arrived, they found that all personnel had been killed by the
Death Seed plague. The entire installation -- including the port authority, the shipping companies, the
Republic consular offices, and the Fleet Headquarters -- was being overrun with e-suited scavengers and
looters. Just prior to their arrival, two Republic cruisers, the Ithor Lady and the Empyrean, had been sent
from the moon to deal with a pirate fleet from Budpock. Animal life on Cybloc XII includes small fanged
scavengers. [POT]

Cyborrea
A high-gravity planet that is home to the cyborg battle dogs called neks. The aggressive neks are a result of
genetic and cybernetic engineering and are often used for protection by scavenger gangs. [DESB]

Cyimarra
Cyimarra is home to the beautiful Crystal Spires. Both Corellia and Corulag, planning to recreate the
Spires as an exhibit during New Year's Fete Week on Coruscant, sent delegations to Cyimarra to help
prepare for the display. [SWAJ]

Da Soocha
The watery world of Da Soocha (sometimes called Gla Soocha) is located in the Cyax system. The name
means "Walking Planet" in Huttese, which is part of an old Hutt myth about an intelligent, planet-covering
ocean near the revered star Cyax. Though the Cyax system was never visited by the Hutts (who considered
it a sacred place of myth), Jabba the Hutt had location of Da Soocha secreted away in his computer files.
R2-D2 managed to retrieve the information and the system was investigated by Alliance scouts, who
coincidentally found a large planet covered by ocean. They named it Da Soocha in honor of the Hutt
legend, and established a new Alliance base on the planet's fifth moon during the Emperor's reappearance.
Da Soocha has no native intelligent species. During the World Devastator attack on Calamari, the Alliance
had plans to evacuate the besieged planet's population to Da Soocha. [DE, DESB]

Da Soocha V
The uncharted fifth moon of Da Soocha, also known as the Pinnacle Moon, was the location of the
Alliance's main base following their evacuation of Coruscant six years after the Battle of Endor. A light-
gravity world, the Pinnacle Moon was named for the kilometers-high rocky spires that dotted its surface.
The pinnacles supported many plant and animal species in their hollow interiors, and the moon's terrain
also included mountains and oceans. The intelligent, playful avians called Ixlls made their homes in
communal warrens on the flattened tops of the stone pinnacles, and were hunted by winged predators called
tumnors. Uninhabited caverns within the huge stone columns were cleared and enlarged by Alliance
engineers to hold hangars and operations decks for the New Republic fleet. The reborn Emperor and his
flagship were destroyed above this moon, though Palpatine managed to survive by taking another clone
body. Later, the Emperor utterly destroyed the Pinnacle Moon with a nucleonic reaction-setting projectile
fired from the Galaxy Gun. [DE, DE2, DESB]

Daedalon system
While interviewing for acceptance into the Imperial Academy, Han Solo had to answer a story problem
involving travel routes to the Daedalon system. [PS]

D'Aelgoth sector
Approximately four years before the Battle of Yavin, Han Solo and Xaverri conned the D'Aelgoth sector's
Imperial Moff out of a large sum of money, and simultaneously framed him for treason. [HG]

Dagobah
A mysterious, mist-shrouded swamp planet in the Dagobah system and the Sluis sector, Dagobah contains
no cities or advanced technology yet teems with a wide variety of life. Some of this world's exotic
lifeforms include giant swamp slugs, dragonsnakes, nightbats, carnivorous fungi, bioluminescent spotlight
sloths, and butcherbugs, who spin their slicing wirewebs between adjacent gnarltrees. Colorful Jubba birds
whistle a highly soothing song, which may be caused by a slight manipulation of the Force. The petrified
gnarltree forests can be found throughout the swamp, and the trees have a unique life cycle -- at the
appropriate time a knobby white "spider" will break off from its parent tree, roam the swamp hunting and
feeding on animals, and eventually take root in a clear spot to grow into a new gnarltree. Other Dagobah
plants include flower-fruits, mushrooms that explode if exposed to light, and prismatic vine-flowers that
grow above the dense tree canopy, where reptilian flying creatures can also be seen hunting small scurrying
rodents. The thick cloud layer surrounding the planet cannot be penetrated by standard sensors. Dagobah
was home to the legendary Jedi Master Yoda, who instructed both Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker
before his death before the Battle of Endor at the age of 900.

During the fall of the Old Republic, an eight-man research team led by Halka Four-Den scouted Dagobah
but was lost, presumably killed off by some of the planet's lethal lifeforms. Around twenty-five years
before the Battle of Yavin, a Dark Jedi from Bpfassh created trouble throughout his sector before being
stopped on Dagobah, presumably by Yoda. A dark cave near Yoda's home could be a vestige of this Dark
Jedi's power, and it may have served to hide Yoda's presence during the Emperor's Jedi purge. Luke
Skywalker returned to Dagobah five years after Yoda's death and discovered a ship's beckon call, that could
have belonged to the Bpfasshi Dark Jedi. Skywalker returned three years later with the Jedi knight Callista,
to help Callista regain her lost Force ability. Nearly nineteen years after the Battle of Endor, Anakin Solo
came to Dagobah with his friend Tahiri to test himself in the darkside cave. [ESB, ESBN, ESBR, HTTE,

Dakshee
An Imperially-held planet in the Colonies region, marked by constant unrest towards Imperial rule. Gerald
Weizel, Imperial governor of Chandrila, was once the governor of Dakshee, where he resolved the Brella
Temior crisis. Weizel discovered that several union heads were ringleaders of the terrorist group Justice
Action Network, and ended the situation without bloodshed. [SWAJ]

Dalron Five
A planet devastated by the Empire during the infamous Siege of Dalron Five. Siege warfare techniques
developed by Alliance General Jan Dodonna were used by the Empire in this assault. Refugees from the
planet were later encountered by Shistavanen Wolfman scout Lak Svivrak living on a rocky moon. [MTS]

Daluuj
A fog-shrouded, watery world lashed by dangerous atmospheric storms and home to a remote Imperial
training outpost. After Admiral Ackbar and several other Mon Calamari landed on Daluuj in escape pods,
Han Solo and his companions attempted to rescue them. Huge lake worms dragged the Millennium Falcon
under water, but it was retrieved when the worms turned their attention to a group of attacking Imperial
speeders. [CSW]

Damonite Yors-B
The fifth planet in its system in the Meridian sector, Damonite Yors-B is an ice-covered, uninhabited world
whose atmosphere is lashed by turbulent winds and ion- and methane-storms. It appears acid-yellow from
space. Nine years after the Battle of Endor, Han Solo and Lando Calrissian came to the planet searching
for any sign of Leia Organa Solo. Instead, they found the crashed cruiser Corbantis, and brought its
survivors to the medical facility on Nim Drovis for treatment. On their way out of the planet's atmosphere,
they were attacked by a swarm of the Loronar Corporation's CCIR needle fighters. [POT]

Dandalas
A planet in the Farlax sector near the Koornacht Cluster. [SOL]

Dantooine
An olive, blue, and brown-colored planet with no industrial settlements or advanced technology, Dantooine
is far removed from most galactic traffic. Its surface is covered with empty steppes, savannas of lavender
grasses, and spiky blba trees. The planet has two moons and abundant animal life, including herds of hairy
beasts, simple balloonlike creatures, mace flies, and the Dantooinian gar-fish. Primitive nomadic tribes
move along the coasts, though their numbers are so few the planet is essentially uninhabited.

Four thousand years ago, the Jedi Master Vodo-Siosk Baas established a training center among Dantooine's
ruins, where he instructed Exar Kun and the Cathar warriors Crado and Sylvar. Millennia later, Dantooine
served as the primary base for the Rebel Alliance. Rebel engineers originally built the base from
temporary, self-erecting modules, and defended it with stolen weapons and an energy shield stolen from an
Imperial correctional facility. As time passed, the Alliance grew more secure, fortifying their base and
becoming increasingly careless with security. This ended, however, when Rebel soldiers discovered an
Imperial tracking device hidden in a cargo shipment. Though the beacon had not betrayed their location,
the Alliance had no way of knowing this. All personnel evacuated the Dantooine base in a single day,
leaving behind only the permanent structures and some disabled vehicles. The Alliance fleet then hopped
from system to system, until erecting their new headquarters base on Yavin 4. Later, when interrogated by
Imperials aboard the Death Star, Leia Organa revealed the Dantooine base's location, knowing it had long
since been deserted. Imperial scout ships were immediately dispatched to Dantooine; when they uncovered
Leia's ruse, Grand Moff Tarkin ordered the Princess executed. Nine years later, during the New Republic's
war against Grand Admiral Thrawn, Admiral Ackbar planned to visit Dantooine following his inspection of
the Farrfin and Dolomar defenses. Two years after that, fifty colonists from Eol Sha were relocated on the
planet, until they were utterly wiped out by a group of Admiral Daala's AT-AT walkers. New Republic
commando Gil Crosear, who participated in the infiltration of an Imperial base on Sarahwiee, is a native of
Dantooine. [SW, LC, JS, DA, DLOS, ISWU, SWAJ, MA]

Danuta
Danuta is a brown world of hills and canyons dotted with scattered green farms. Brodsport Mining
Corporation is the major presence on Danuta, and most of its workers live in the gridlike, seedy city of
Trid. Trid contains a walled-off Imperial Military Reservation which surrounds an Imperial research
complex, where many elements of the first Death Star were finalized. Other points of interest in Trid
include the spaceport (on the city's eastern edge), the fusion plant, a religious temple, and the Blue Moon
tavern. The technical plans for the Death Star were stored in the Danuta research complex prior to the
Battle of Yavin. Before they could be transmitted to Darth Vader, Alliance agent Kyle Katarn infiltrated the
facility and stole the plans, which were later beamed to Princess Leia's corvette near Toprawa. [DF, SWR,
DFSFE]

Darek system
Located near the Hensara and Morobe systems. Some three years after the Battle of Endor, Rogue
Squadron made a transit jump through hyperspace to the Darek system, before jumping to the Hensara
system. They did this in order to disguise their origin point in the Morobe system and the hidden base
there. [XWRS]

Darepp
The starliner Star Morning, owned by the religious Fallanassi order, traveled to Darepp after the group
departed from the planet Teyr. When Luke Skywalker departed from Teyr, he guessed that the other ships
in his outbound corridor were headed for the Foeless Crossroads or for Darepp. [SOL]

Dargul
Dargul is the sister world of the blob-racing planet Umgul. It is the location of Palace Dargul, residence of
the Duchess Mistal. When the Duchess reached the age of marriage and advertised for a consort, a
candidate named Dack altered the Palace's computer to name him as the winning suitor. When he could no
longer stand the Duchess' company, he fled to Umgul and was captured by Lando Calrissian. Calrissian
was given a million-credit reward from the Duchess for the return of her consort. [JS]

Darkon III
The smuggler Dannen Lifehold stopped on Darkon III before continuing his mission to Dohu VII. [SWAJ]

Darlonn sector
The Darlonn sector contains an orbiting casino. It was here that the Twi'lek female known as Seely met the
space pirate Drek Drednar. Seely later became a lieutenant in his pirate crew. [SWAJ]

Darlyn Boda
An Imperial planet, about half a day's hyperspace travel from Hoth. Darlyn Boda, a steamy, muddy world,
has both a thriving criminal underground and an active network of Rebel contacts. Its main city is also
called Darlyn Boda. The bounty-hunting droid 4-LOM abandoned his former position as a valet aboard the
Kuari Princess when the ship stopped at Darlyn Boda. Later, immediately after the Battle of Hoth, 4-LOM
and Zuckuss brought a group of ninety Alliance soldiers from Hoth to Darlyn Boda where they could be
treated for their wounds. [TBH]

Dar'Or
Dar'Or, located in the Dar'Or system and the seldom-visited Jospro sector, is recorded in Imperial charts as
OM973. The planet, a low-gravity, forested world, orbits an orange sun and is home to the intelligent
flying mammals called Ri'Dar. The Ri'Dar inhabit the middle levels of the dense network of 200-meter tall
waza trees that cover Dar'Or, along with the sloth-like sabertoothed indola. Predators of the Ri'Dar include
the indola and the avian elix, which was recently introduced to the planet by planetary ecologists to save it
from extinction on a supernova-threatened world. The elix came from a high-gravity world, however, and
the relatively low gravity of Dar'Or has caused elix populations to thrive at the expense of other species.
The Ri'Dar have organized their primitive society into warrens (all families on a single waza tree) and cities
(all warrens in a particular section of forest). Due to the endangered elix Dar'Or has been declared an
Imperial Species Preservation Zone, but some smugglers have bypassed the travel restrictions and taken
elix meat (and the occasional Ri'Dar) from its surface. [GG4]

Darpa sector
Located in the Core on the edge of the Colonies region, the Darpa sector makes up one half of the Ringali
Shell. Its worlds include Esseles, Rhinnal, and Ralltiir, all of which are linked by the Perlemian Trade
Route. The sector is ruled by the heavy-handed Moff Jander Graffe. [SWAJ]

Dartibek system
The Dartibek system contains the planet Moltok, the homeworld of the alien species known as the Ho'Din.
[GG4]

Datar
A group of Rebels was entirely eliminated on Datar, despite Darth Vader's insistence on acquiring prisoners
for interrogation. [TFTC]

Dathomir
Located in the Quelii sector, Dathomir is a low-gravity world with three continents, a wide ocean, and four
small moons. The planet is covered with a wide variety of terrain including mountains, deserts, purple
savannas, and forests with eighty-meter trees and vines bearing hwotha berries. Indigenous life on
Dathomir includes flying reptiles, piglike rodents, long Whuffa worms, burra fish, and the feared rancors.
Other animals include rock dragons, small lizards with poison stingers potent enough to kill rancors, and
gibbit birds, which clean rancors' teeth in a symbiotic relationship. Semi-intelligent, two-legged reptiles
live in the desert and call themselves the Blue Desert People.

Humans came to Dathomir hundreds of years ago when a group of illegal arms manufacturers were exiled
to the planet by the Jedi Knights. Several generations later, a rogue Jedi named Allya was also exiled to
Dathomir. Allya began to teach the Force to the planet's inhabitants and to her descendants, who also
learned to tame the wild rancors. Some time later, nearly four hundred years ago, the two-kilometer Jedi
spaceborne academy Chu'unthor crashed in a Dathomir tar pit. (The Jedi master Djinn Altis was known to
travel in a ship also called the Chu'unthor, but based on available dating information it is unlikely that it
was the same ship.) Yoda and the other Jedi sent to recover the crashed Chu'unthor were repulsed by the
witches -- those female inhabitants who had learned to use the Force. Different clans of these witches
(such as Singing Mountain, Frenzied River, and Misty Falls) were formed, including a group following the
Dark Side calling itself the Nightsisters. Life among the clans followed a pattern of female dominance,
where males were largely treated as property and not allowed to act in important decisions. Around one
hundred years ago, the Nightsister Charal managed to escape from Dathomir and fell in with a group of
alien marauders, who then crashed on the forest moon of Endor. Imperial forces later constructed orbital
shipyards and a penal colony on the surface. Following the failure of the Emperor's attempt to destroy the
Jedi enclave on Belsavis, several designers of the Eye of Palpatine were reassigned to punitive duty at
Dathomir. After the Emperor learned the power of the Nightsister leader Gethzerion, he ordered all the
prison's ships destroyed from orbit to prevent her from leaving the planet. The stranded Imperials at the
prison were then enslaved by Gethzerion and the other Nightsisters. Four years after the Battle of Endor,
Han Solo won the planet Dathomir in a high-stakes sabacc game from Warlord Omogg, who claimed it had
been in her family for generations. Han's subsequent adventures on the planet resulted in the destruction of
both the Nightsisters and of Warlord Zsinj's forces. Thirteen years after Endor, Lando Calrissian found the
abandoned freighter Spicy Lady, which had belonged to his old smuggling associate Jarril. While looking
through the ship's computer, Lando discovered that Jarril had recorded Dathomir as a "Big Find." Nineteen
years after Endor, a new order of Nightsisters based in the Great Canyon emerged on Dathomir. This clan,
allied with the Empire and founded by Luke Skywalker's former student Brakiss, treated their males as
equals and sent their best Force students to be trained on the Empire's Shadow Academy. [COPL, COTJ,
YJK, DS, ISWU, NR, YJK2, GOF]

Davnar
The homeworld of the famed winged predator known as the kalidor. The Kalidor Crescent, the highest
award that can be bestowed upon Alliance pilots, is named in honor of this creature. [FP]
Davnar II
Davnar II is home to a bipedal, scaly, long-snouted alien species. One of Ploovo Two-For-One's henchmen
was a native of Davnar II. [HSSE]

Dawferm Selfhood States

A group of worlds that formed their own protective federation during the turmoil and constant warfare in
the six years following the Battle of Endor. [DESB]

Debray system
Approximately twenty years after the Battle of Endor, a double solar eclipse occurred on the fourth planet
in the Debray system. [YJK2]

Dela system
Lando Calrissian's destination before visiting the Oseon was the Dela system, but he decided against it due
to the tricky landing required on a mountaintop spaceport. [LCMH]

Delari Prime
Located in the Delari system of the Corva sector of the Outer Rim, Delari Prime is the first planet orbiting
its binary star. Millennia ago, the world was teeming with life, until a wayward asteroid knocked its orbit
closer to the heat of the twin suns. Catastrophic climate changes caused the planet's seas to burn up, and
massive erosion formed kilometer-deep chasms that now crisscross the orange-rust surface. The world has
a mere 10-hour rotation cycle, is buffeted by intense windstorms, and can only support vegetation at its
poles. The Empire set up a hidden communications base on Delari Prime, but abandoned it after the Battle
of Endor. [SWAJ]

Delassin Six
After leaving his homeworld, the young Vodran Xenon Nnaksta worked as a longshoreman on Delassin
Six, tending to the primitive sailing ships plying the Diniz and Zehr seas. Nnaksta later became an operator
of the Greel Wood Logging Corporation in the Pii system. [SWAJ]

Delaya
An uninhabited sister world of the planet Alderaan, Delaya is located in the Alderaan system. The low-
grade, blue quella gem was found only on Alderaan and Delaya; since Alderaan's destruction, Delaya is the
only source. Alliance general Carlist Rieekan was inspecting a satellite transmission station in orbit around
Delaya when the Death Star appeared in the system and subsequently destroyed Alderaan. [MTS, SWAJ,
PS]

Delderaan
The gas giant Yavin has been compared to a ball of multicolored yarn woven by the primitive northern
tribes of ancient Delderaan. [GG2]

Delfii system
Just prior to the Battle of Endor, the Rebel Alliance held a deep-space military summit in the Delfii system
to plan their assault on the second Death Star. [TSC]

Dellalt
Dellalt, located in the system of the same name in the Outer Rim, orbits a blue-white star in the remote
Tion Hegemony. A watery world with two moons and a higher gravity and shorter day and year than
standard, Dellalt held a strategic location in pre-Republic days, but it is now a poor, fringe planet isolated
even from the rest of the Tion. Thousands of years ago, the ancient tyrant Xim the Despot built an opulent
city and immense treasure vaults on Dellalt. These vaults and the planet's single city are located near a cold
lake on the southernmost of Dellalt's three continents. This city was once an impressive metropolis
designed by Xim's engineers but it has since fallen into poverty and ruin. The outermost of the apparently
empty vaults house the Dellaltian Bank and Currency Exchange (the local currency unit is the driit) and the
Landmark Preservation Office, while the actual treasure vaults lie below these empty decoys. The vaults
are studded with anti-weapon defenses and hold a now-worthless cache of kiirium and mytag crystals. The
intelligent sauropteroids of Dellalt, the Swimming People, run a ferry business at the lakeside docks,
towing passengers across on rafts.

Deep within the mountains is a colony of a hundred people calling themselves the Survivors -- apparently
stranded on Dellalt in pre-Republic times, their culture survived for tens of thousands of years in isolation.
The Survivors still hope to be rescued, and their religion involves watching over Xim's remaining war
robots and making human sacrifices to increase the strength of their rescue beacon. All Survivors are
hypno-imprinted at childhood, and Survivor infiltrators can be found working in Dellalt's main city.
Dellalt's flora includes dendroid vines and soft blue moss, while its fauna includes dog-like animals with
prehensile tails, eight legged dray beasts, and lake crustaceans. During one of Han Solo's early adventures,
Xim's robots were activated by the Survivors and wiped out a contract-labor mining camp before their
destruction. Two years later, three of Xim's war droids were featured in a New Year Fete Week parade on
Coruscant as part of the Tion Hegemony's display. Just prior to the Battle of Yavin, the Imperials were
using Dellalt as a staging point for supplies and equipment. [HSLL, FP, SWAJ]

Delle II
Hemmel crops are grown on Delle II. [SWAJ]

Delrian
A prison planet used for the incarceration of dangerous criminals. The infamous Dr. Evazan was held on
Delrian until he escaped to the Hindasar system. [MTS]

Denab
The Imperial Fourth Attack Squadron was soundly defeated by the Alliance at the Battle of Denab. The
Squadron was primarily composed of Victory-class Star Destroyers, and it is their relatively slow sublight
speed that is regarded as the key reason for their defeat. [SWS]

Denarii Nova
A rare double star located on the fringes of the unmapped heart of the galaxy. The smaller star in the pair
periodically fed on plumes of flaming gas drawn from its larger partner. This star system was destroyed
5000 years ago by the Sith magician Naga Sadow in order to escape from a group of pursuing Republic
gunships. Nineteen years after the Battle of Endor, the Second Imperium's Shadow Academy moved to a
hiding place near the Denarii Nova after escaping from the Coruscant system. [DLOS, YJK]

Deneba
A red planet in the system of the same name, Deneba was the site of a meeting of thousands of Jedi knights
and masters within Mount Meru 4000 years ago. The land surrounding the cavernous Mount Meru and the
nearby Meru Spaceport is covered with tall, flowing grasses. During this meeting, the Jedi (who had taken
on the responsibilities of guarding the Core systems) discussed the problem of the Krath takeover of the
Tetan system and the failed Jedi/Republic mission to save Koros Major. Ulic Qel-Droma announced his
intentions to join the Krath in order to learn their secrets. A subsequent war droid attack, planned by the
Krath, resulted in the death of Jedi Master Arca. Millennia later, the smuggler Lo Khan stopped in the
Deneba system to refuel while making the Gamor Run. When he was saved from an Imperial attack by the
Yaka Luwingo, Khan hired the alien as his bodyguard. [DE, DLOS, DESB]

Denlathia
A planet captured by the New Republic approximately four years after the Battle of Endor. The Victory
Star Destroyer Tempest managed to escape Denlathia carrying components for an anti-orbital ion cannon,
which were brought to the city of Zila on Garos IV. [SWAJ]
Dennaskar
The location of a secret Santhe/Sienar Technologies laboratory. Santhe/Sienar was rumored to have
developed a prototype cloaking device at this facility. [SWAJ]

Dentaal
A planet in the Mid-Rim. Dentaal was formerly ruled by Imperial Governor Taliff, who disbanded the
Dentaalian House when he came to power. The House members, meeting in secret, declared nine months
later that their planet would no longer recognize Imperial rule. Members of the Dentaal Independence
Party (DIP) forcibly ousted Taliff and disarmed the planet's Imperial garrisons, while DIP leader Hancc
Rellow announced Dentaal's status as a free world. In retaliation, Imperial storm commandos under the
command of Crix Madine came to Dentaal and planted the seeds of the Candorian plague -- a deadly virus
for which there is no cure. Madine was torn with guilt over his role and, during wilderness training
exercises with his commandos, disappeared into a series of caves. Believed killed, he made his way back
to a temporary Imperial base, stole a shuttle, and eventually defected to the Alliance. The Candorian plague
finally broke out in Calif City and spread over the entire Kindelian continent, killing over 10 billion people
and eventually wiping out every single inhabitant of the planet. The Empire erected a blockade of the
entire system, and blamed the outbreak on the accidental release of a biowar virus designed by the Rebels.
[DS, SWAJ]

Derra IV
Dol Donar II was once Imperial governor of Derra IV, though he was killed prior to the Battle of Yavin
while pursuing Imperial defector Kyle Katarn. Years later, an Alliance transport convoy tried to bring
badly-needed supplies from Derra IV to the new Rebel base on Hoth. The convoy and its fighter escort,
including Commander Narra, were completely destroyed by TIE fighters soon after they left the planet.
The famed 181st Imperial fighter group participated in the attack, and both Evir Derricote and Soontir Fel
flew TIEs during the action. Lord Darth Vader oversaw the attack from an Imperial Star Destroyer along
with Admiral Thrawn, the true mastermind behind the devastating ambush. Imperial captain Ait Convarion
also saw action during the Battle of Derra IV. The shocking loss of supplies forced Alliance lieutenant
Losca (at Hoth's Echo Base) to reprogram the military 3PO droid Emtrey to act as a covert materials
scrounger. The Alderaanian armory ship Another Chance was recovered by Rebels prior to the Battle of
Hoth, and its weapons were useful in making up for the loss of the Derra IV convoy. Twelve years after the
Battle of Endor, New Republic Security arrested a man on Derra IV who was keeping the corpses of eleven
uniformed Imperial officers frozen in cryotanks. The disturbed man wanted his son to mutilate the corpses
when he came of age, in retaliation for his mother's death during the Imperial occupation of the planet.
[ESBR, XW, XWRS, XWWG, XWBW, BTS, DFSFE]

Despayre
Despayre, a prison planet located in the Horuz system in the distant Outer Rim, was the construction site
for the first Death Star. The almost unknown status of the world helped guarantee the security of the orbital
construction yards assembled to build the battle station. Despayre was green jungle planet broken by rivers
and shallow seas, and home to countless predators including carnivorous crustaceans, poisonous flora, and
deadly insects. The planet's penal colony was the only outpost in the system, and many prisoners were
used to help construct the Death Star. When the battle station was completed, it tested its superlaser on
Despayre and utterly destroyed the planet. [MTS, DSTC, DS]

Devaron
Devaron, homeworld of the horned Devaronians (or Devish), is a temperate, sparsely-populated world with
a coral-colored sky, covered by low mountain ranges, deep valleys, shallow lakes, and thousands of
navigable rivers. The planet, which orbits multiple suns, has little political importance but is located near
the influential Core Worlds. Devaronian females live in the mountains and raise their families in Devaron's
villages and industrial centers. The females control the planet's democratic government and all aspects of
production and manufacturing. Devaronian males, however, prefer to aimlessly wander, and either spend
their lives exploring Devaron's rivers or leave the planet altogether. Male Devish have much sharper teeth
than females, and about 2% of males are born with two sets of teeth -- one for shredding flesh and one for
grinding (Devaronians prefer to forage for their food). Devaron produces enough goods to support its
inhabitants but does not have any useful exports. Approximately five years before the Battle of Yavin, local
rebels demanded Devaronian independence from the Imperial governor. During the uprising, the
Devaronian Army was placed under Imperial command. Captain Kardue'sai'Malloc (later known as Labria)
oversaw the shelling of the ancient holy city of Montellian Serat and the massacre of 700 rebel prisoners
that followed. Han Solo, with his new acquaintance Chewbacca, came to the planet's south polar continent
soon after the massacre to deliver a nalargon musical instrument -- which secretly held a laser cannon -- to
the surviving rebels. Thirteen years after Endor, four mercenaries recognized Labria as the Butcher of
Montellian Serat and forced him to flee to Peppel. Two years after that, Labria was captured by Boba Fett
and brought back to Devaron, where he was immediately sentenced to death. The execution was carried
out in the Judgment Field outside the ruins of Montellian Serat, south of the Blue Mountains, where Labria
was thrown into a pit of starved quarra -- domesticated hunting animals. Other animal life on Devaron
includes the venomous fur-spider. The con-artist Garris Shrike was known to wear a ring that was inset
with a gem of Devaronian blood-poison. [GG4, TFTC, TBH, PS, HG, SOTP]

Deyer
Located in the Anoat system, Deyer is a colony world composed of floating raft cities, terraformed lakes,
and abundant fish and crustacean life. The colonists on Deyer had created a peaceful, democratic political
system until they spoke out against the destruction of Alderaan, paving the way for a brutal military
takeover of Deyer by Imperial troops. Kyp Durron and his family were originally from Deyer. [JS, DA]

Deysum III
Located within the Trax sector along the Trax Tube trade route. Deysum III is the headquarters for Vo
Lantes, the owner of a used-droid chain and a secret Alliance operative. [SWAJ]

Dilbana
Jiliac the Hutt has a great deal of his wealth on the planet Dilbana, and for all intents and purposes is the
ruler of the planet. [HG]

Dilonexa XXIII
Located in the Dilonexa system, Dilonexa XXIII orbits a giant blue-white star along with 39 other planets.
Dilonexa XXIII is the only world capable of supporting life, as the inner 22 are far too hot and the outer 17
too cold. The planet is nearly 25,000 kilometers in diameter, but its lack of heavy metals gives it a tolerable
gravity. Dilonexa XXIII is entirely given over to agriculture. Its farms stretch across the entire surface of
the planet, providing foodstuffs, plastics, fuels, and grain for the herds of native bovine. Weather-
controlling satellites in orbit help keep the city-sized tornadoes in check with energy weaponry. All heavy
metals must be imported to the planet, and the Dinonexican colonists (wealthy, successful farmers) have
developed an allergic reaction to foods containing too many trace metals. Lando Calrissian made a run to
Dilonexa XXIII, trying to unload a useless (on Dilonexa) cargo of fishing poles, leather hides, and
wintenberry jelly. [LCFW]

Dimok
One of the two primary worlds of the Sepan system, with the planet Ripoblus. The long war between
Dimok and Ripoblus was forcibly ended by the intervention of Imperial forces after the Battle of Hoth,
though the two worlds briefly (and unsuccessfully) tried to unite against the Empire as their common foe.
[TSC]

Di'tai'ni
Di'tai'ni is located two systems away from Bothawui and is the homeworld of the aliens called Tai'ni.
Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, the Di'tai'ni government asked the New Republic to help them settle
a dispute with their resident non-Tai'ni workers. While there, Rogue Squadron was called to Bothawui to
help stop a war fleet. Points of interest include the Di'tai'ni Diplomatic Landing Circle for visiting
starships. [SOTP]

Di'wor
Swarms of tourists visit Di'wor every season during the pollination of the singfruit groves. Space traffic,
much of it consisting of Starspeeder 3000 models, is particularly thick around the planet at this time.
Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, Mara Jade tracked the Cavrilhu pirate gang to Di'wor before losing
their trail. [SOTP]

Dles IV
The Trandoshan criminal Nakaron, after killing an undercover Alliance agent, was captured and scheduled
to be incarcerated in the Republic detention facility on Dles IV. Nakaron, however, hijacked the shuttle and
took its crew hostage. [SWAJ]

Dohu VII
The seventh of eight planets in the Dohu system. The three-armed, living-rock aliens called Silika can be
found on the planet. The smuggler Dannen Lifehold traveled to Dohu VII to pick up a shipment in the city
of Skagras, where he first met his Tinnell companion Purr. [SWAJ]

Doldrums
Located past the Commenor and Xobome systems, Doldrums is a star nicknamed for the bland, featureless,
uninhabited planets that orbit it. Approximately four years after the Battle of Endor, the members of Wraith
Squadron were assigned to plot a course from Folor to Doldrums as part of a hyperspace training exercise.
When the Folor base was unexpectedly attacked by forces loyal to Warlord Zsinj, the evacuees
rendezvoused in the Doldrums system. Later, after the Wraiths captured the corvette Night Caller, they
stopped at Doldrums and were met by the New Republic cruiser Home One. [XWWS]

Doldur sector
The Doldur sector contains the Doldur system, the Monor system, the Dragonflower Nebula, and the
hidden outpost of Silver Station. [SWAJ]

Doldur
Doldur, located in the sector and system of the same name, is an Imperially-controlled world and site of the
Doldur Spaceport. The planet is also the personal territory of Imperial Moff Eisen Kerioth. Kerioth, who
had been sponsoring research into anti-blaster energy shields on Doldur, tried to steal the prototype shield
developed by I'att Armament on Druckenwell so he could claim it as his own. [SWAJ]

Dolomar sector
The Dolomar sector was one target in an offensive by Grand Admiral Thrawn. The New Republic put up
stiff resistance in this and the Farrfin sectors, and Admiral Ackbar personally made a tour of the defenses in
both these areas. [LC]

Dom-Bradden
Located in the Outer Rim, Dom-Bradden (sometimes called Bradden) is the homeworld of the alien species
known as Affytechans. Affytechans, a sentient form of plant life, have high, musical voices and bodies
composed of thousands of colorful petals, tendrils, and stalks. While they appear quite beautiful, the
Affytechans stink of ammonia and musk. The Imperial battlemoon Eye of Palpatine stopped at Dom-
Bradden to pick up a contingent of stormtroopers, but brought in a group of Affytechans instead. [COTJ]

Doornik-319
(see Morning Bell)
Doornik-207
Located in the Farlax sector and the Koornacht Cluster, Doornik-207 was the former site of a nest of
Corasgh. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, the alien Yevetha attacked and conquered Doornik-207 as
part of a series of raids which the Yevethans called the Great Purge. [SOL]

Doornik-628
(see J't'p'tan)

Doornik-881
(see Kutag)

Doornik-1142
Doornik-1142 is a brown dwarf star orbited by four cold gaseous planets, located on the edge of the
Koornacht Cluster. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, the New Republic astrographic survey ship
Astrolabe was diverted to Doornik-1142 by General Etahn A'baht, who was hoping to get an updated
survey of the Koornacht Cluster for military intelligence purposes. Instead, the Astrolabe was destroyed by
a Yevethan battle cruiser, who claimed that they were defending their territory against New Republic spies.
It is likely that the Yevethans had moved one or more of the (formerly Imperial) orbital shipyards from
N'zoth, Wakiza, and Zhina to Doornik-1142 for security. [BTS]

Dordolum
Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, Imperial agitators sparked an anti-Bothan riot which resulted in the
destruction of the Bothan-owned Solferin Shipping Company building. Points of interest include the Stand
of Public Expression in the public plaza, which is lined with walkways and flower beds. [SOTP]

Dorlo
Dorlo was once a beautiful planet with rivers, snow-capped mountain ranges, and fertile valleys that were
farmed by colonists for over four generations. Unfortunately, a SoroSuub mineral reconnaissance droid
landed in Farmer Zytho's braal field and discovered that Dorlo was rich in valuable ore deposits. Three
months later SoroSuub's mining freighters arrived. The local settlers were compensated for the use of their
land, then forcibly loaded onto passenger liners for relocation to a desert planet at the edge of the Outer
Rim. Thirty-six farmers were killed while unsuccessfully trying to defend their property. SoroSuub then
unloaded 10,000 automated ore-processing machines (each capable of treating fifty tons per day) on the
planet's surface and set them to work extracting minerals for use in the production of Imperial weapons.
Today, the valleys are strip-mined bare, the farmhouses are long abandoned, and the main roads have
crumbled into indistinct tracks. At some point during their excavations, the ore-processors uncovered a
three-mile long wall covered with ancient inscriptions. SoroSuub hired a professor named Nij Por Ral to
decipher them, and soon after the Battle of Endor the Jedi Knight Rahn came to Dorlo to try to convince
Professor Ral to join him in his hunt for the Valley of the Jedi. Rahn was discovered by three Dark Jedi --
Maw, Sariss, and Yun -- and subsequently executed. [DFRA]

Dorlon II
A volcanic planet, covered with ash, lava, and sulfur compounds covering it in shades of black, tan, and
yellow. It is also the location of an orbital transfer station. Soon before the Battle of Yavin, Academy
graduate Kyle Katarn came to Dorlon II to board the passenger liner Star of Empire. [DFSFE]

Dornea
Dornea is the homeworld of the Dorneans, tall aliens with purplish leathery skin. Dornea never officially
joined the Rebel Alliance, but its inhabitants fought bravely against the Empire. The Dornean Navy,
though it numbered barely eighty vessels, was able to successfully resist the Empire despite being greatly
outnumbered in several battles. General Etahn A'baht, the senior military commander of the Dornean
Navy, was named commander of the New Republic's Fifth Fleet twelve years after the Battle of Endor.

Douglas III
The home of the animal known as the jackelope. A taxidermized specimen is displayed in the Poly
Pyramid tavern on Rafa IV. [LCMH]

Dra III
A high-gravity world known for its dangerous native lifeforms and its sport hunting. The inhabitants of
Dra III tend to be heavier and stronger due to the planet's higher gravity. The famous hunting beasts of Dra
III include the vicious six-legged nashtahs (also called Dravian Hounds) that inhabit the planet's mountains.
Nashtahs, the only animals from the planet to have yet been domesticated, are also the planet's most
thoroughly studied animal, since the first contact team to escape from Dra III alive managed to kill several
of the beasts and return with their bodies. The powerful (though somewhat outdated) Kell Mark II blaster
is one planetary export. [HSR, HSLL, CSSB]

Drackmar system
A system with multiple suns and home to the alien Drackmarians. Drackmarians are methane-breathers
with blue scales, sharp talons, and snouts filled with vicious teeth. Members of this species do not sleep,
and are noted for their generosity and their stubborn independence. The Drackmarians were fierce
opponents of the Empire and are now very loosely aligned with the New Republic. Omogg, a wealthy
warlord from the Drackmar system, lost the planet Dathomir to Han Solo in a sabacc game on Coruscant.
[COPL]

Dragonflower Nebula
Located in the Doldur sector, the Dragonflower Nebula is a pink aurora containing five dark, pulsing
vertices. A mining outpost was once established near the Nebula to exploit its valuable gasses, which grew
to become Silver Station. [SWAJ]

Drall
One of the five inhabited worlds in the Corellian system, Drall is a pleasant, temperate planet with a lighter
gravity than standard. During the summer, temperatures can reach levels high enough to cause portions of
the landlocked Boiling Sea to actually boil, until it is cooled by winter precipitation. The planet is the
homeworld of the short, furred aliens also known as Drall. The tidy, sensible Drall formerly hibernated
during Drall's winter season, though most have abandoned the practice today. The species is known for its
cautious nature, its honesty, and its meticulous skill at record-keeping. The planetary unit of currency is the
Drallish crown. Other life on the planet includes the nannarium flower and many varied species of Drallish
aviars. A vast, subterranean planetary repulsor is located near Drall's equator -- presumably used in ancient
times to move the planet into its current orbit from an unknown location. One of the workers in the
contract-labor mining camp on Dellalt was a Drall.

During his tenure with the Corellian Security Force, Rogue Squadron pilot Corran Horn planted a false
report implying that he had murdered six smugglers on Drall. The report was created so Horn and his
supervisor could stage a public falling-out and remove suspicions of their working together to flee the
Empire, but an Imperial death warrant was issued on Horn for the imaginary crime. During the starbuster
crisis fourteen years after the Battle of Endor, Chewbacca took the Solo children and their tutor Ebrihim to
Drall to stay with Ebrihim's aunt, the Duchess Marcha of Mastigophorous. The group discovered Drall's
planetary repulsor, and Anakin Solo instinctively made it operational. A shot from the repulsor, fired by
Anakin Solo, disabled Centerpoint Station and saved the star Bovo Yagen from destruction at the last
possible instant. After the crisis, Leia Organa Solo was planning to appoint Duchess Marcha as the new
Governor General of the Corellian sector. [AAC, AAS, SAC, HSLL, XWRS]
Draukyze system
A single Star Destroyer made a hit-and-fade attack on the Draukyze system several months before Grand
Admiral Thrawn made a similar attack on Bpfassh. Later, New Republic support ships positioned
themselves on the edge of the system to give the false impression they were planning to attack Tangrene.

Dronseen
Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, Mara Jade was supposed to make a cargo pickup on Dronseen on
behalf of Talon Karrde, but was too busy to complete the assignment. [SOTP]

Drovian system
The Drovian system, located in the Meridian sector, contains the planet Nim Drovis. [POT]

Drovis
(see Nim Drovis)

Druckenwell
Located in the Mid-Rim, Druckenwell is an industrialized, overpopulated urban world run by corporate
guilds. Druckenwell's crowded cities are divided by wide oceans, and almost all of the planet's available
land has been developed. Therefore, great care has recently been taken to reduce the risk of pollution and
to protect the planet's few remaining resources. Druckenwell's 9.3 billion people are mostly workers for the
planet's massive corporations who live in its congested metropolises. The strictly planned cities have
specific zones for different worker classes -- blue-collar districts, business offices, industrial areas, and a
few pleasant parks and gardens for the corporate elite. Druckenwell's strict population laws specify that no
couples may marry until they can prove their fiscal independence.

The city of Il Avali includes Happy's Landing tavern and the I'att Armament complex, where a personal
shielding device to protect stormtrooper armor from blaster fire was developed. When Imperial Moff Eisen
Kerioth tried to claim the energy shield as his own invention just prior to the Battle of Yavin, Tinian I'att
(young heiress of the I'att Corporation) escaped with the shielding device components and fled
Druckenwell with the help of Twilit Hearth's musical band. Tinian's lover Daye Azur-Jamin managed to
destroy the I'att Armament complex and its Imperial invaders, but was almost killed in the effort. The
Imperial governor of Druckenwell later issued a reward for Tinian's capture. Druckenwell is also home to
the corporate offices for SGI Systems Inc., a major producer of black-market assassin droid components.
Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, Imperial officials nationalized SGI Systems along with several other
droid corporations, giving them control of the Mid-Rim droid market. [SWAJ, TBH]

Drudonna
One of the two largest moons orbiting the planet Bespin. Drudonna and its larger sister moon H'gaard are
known together as The Twins. The moon is only two and a half kilometers in diameter. Both are
unremarkable ice satellites, and appear as large green spheres in Bespin's night sky. Shirmar Base, a
staging area and processing center for Ugnaught expeditions into Velser's Ring, is located on Drudonna.

The location of the Duluur Sector Imperial Naval Academy. [SWAJ]

Durgeon
The notorious bounty hunter Beylyssa single-handedly wiped out the Alliance cell on Durgeon, after
tracking the group for months. [SWAJ]

Duroon
Duroon, a gray-skied world in the Corporate Sector, is the site of a major Authority installation that uses
slave labor. Duroon has three moons, and its surface is dotted with lush jungles located between volcanic
vents and fissures. Animal life in the jungles includes an unusual, harmless ball-like creature. The ball
creatures, also called "bouncebeasts," have become popular pets on many worlds. Han Solo participated in
a gun-running operation to the alien slaves on Duroon. Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, Mara Jade's
ship Jade's Fire was on Duroon getting its nav systems refitted. Luke Skywalker went to Duroon to pick
up the ship for a mission to Nirauan. [HSSE, CSSB, SOTP]

Duros
A terrestrial planet in the Duro system, Duros (sometimes referred to as Duro) is the homeworld of the alien
species also known as Duros. Duros tend not to get involved in non-Duros affairs, and most remained
neutral in the Galactic Civil War. The aliens have been roaming space for thousands of years, and use the
term "traveler" as an honorific. They enjoy swapping stories of adventures, and have a nearly photographic
memory for stories they've heard. The Duro system is filled with vast, orbiting cities and many smaller
depots and shipyards (the shipbuilding industry is nearly on par with that of Corellia). The system is
governed by a group of starship corporations, and political decisions are made by their stockholders. The
planet Duros is primarily uninhabited, and is covered with automated farms that help feed the inhabitants of
the space cities. Animal life on the planet once included a now-extinct cannibal arachnid. Han Solo's
ancestor Korol Solo, a pretender to the throne of Corellia, married and fathered a son on Duros. The planet
Pii 3, in the Pii system, was once home to seventh Duro Relocation Colony, which was abandoned when its
Duros settlers became restless and returned to the stars. Approximately five years before the Battle of
Yavin, the Empire forbade the Duros shipyards to install weapons systems in their vessels. [LC, COPL,
GG4, DA, SWAJ, XWKT, PS, HG]

Durren
A blue world in the system of the same name of the Meridian sector, Durren is the site of the Durren Orbital
Station, a major base for the New Republic fleet. Six main religions are predominant on Durren, and its
planetary coalition has been a strong supporter of the New Republic since the Republic agreed to protect
the system in exchange for the naval base. Nine years after the Battle of Endor, a rebel faction revolted
against the Durren Central Planetary Council and the world erupted in armed warfare, leaving it vulnerable
to looters. The main Republic cruisers Caelus and Corbantis had left the previous day to investigate a
rumored pirate attack on Ampliquen and were unable to defend the orbital station. At the same time, the
Death Seed plague broke out aboard the station, but was thankfully contained in the lower decks. [POT]

Dxun
Dxun, also called the "Demon Moon," is one of four moons orbiting the planet Onderon. Its thick jungles
are home to numerous bloodthirsty monsters and, due to Dxun's erratic orbit, many of the creatures are able
to migrate to the surface of Onderon during an annual period in which the two worlds' atmospheres
intersect. Four thousand years ago, after the evil Queen Amanda of Iziz was defeated by the Jedi, the
inhabitants of Onderon built a Mandalorian iron tomb on Dxun to house the remains of their Queen and of
the Dark Jedi Freedon Nadd. The fallen Jedi Exar Kun later visited the tomb, where the spirit of Nadd
helped him discover some hidden Sith scrolls. Later, at the end of the Sith War, the warrior clans of
Mandalore fled to Dxun after failing in their attempt to capture Onderon. Their leader was killed by a pair
of the Dxun beasts, and a new warrior assumed the mantle of Mandalore. [TOTJ, FNU, DLOS, TSW]

D'vouran
A beautiful green and blue planet of forests and oceans, D'vouran is an undeveloped world rumored to be
the most beautiful planet within a thousand light years. The planet was formerly located less than one light
year from a busy hyperspace route, but mysteriously, no one had noticed it until a passing cargo ship
crashed on its surface. When word spread of the natives' hospitality, several hundred colonists began
emigrating to D'vouran. The natives, blue-skinned, friendly aliens with spiked scalps, are called Enzeen.
Unknown to most, the Enzeen are parasites, feeding off the planet's nutrients and, in turn, luring victims to
D'vouran to be consumed. D'vouran is capable of moving through both realspace and hyperspace. Its main
spaceport, a small town of one-story mudbrick buildings (including the Don't Go Inn), is surrounded by a
dense forest. Just inside the forest is a modest fortress built by Smada the Hutt and an underground
Imperial research laboratory featuring a cavernous black pit called the Heart of D'vouran. In this laboratory
Imperial scientists mutated the world to act as a living planet and deadly weapon, as phase one in the top-
secret Project Starscream. Six months after the Battle of Yavin, Zak and Tash Arranda arrived on D'vouran
with their Uncle Hoole. They uncovered D'vouran's secret, but were rescued by Han Solo's Millennium
Falcon as most of the planet's surface was consumed by bubbling mud. D'vouran then moved to a new
location in the Outer Rim. [GOF]

Echnos
Echnos (also called Tinn VI-D) is one of six moons orbiting the gas giant Tinn VI, located in the Tinn
system at the border to the Outer Rim. The barren, rocky moon's atmosphere is not breathable for any
length of time, and during half of its year Echnos passes through Tinn VI's dangerous magnetic field --
most lifeforms cannot survive the field unprotected for more than twenty minutes. The field can also
violently force ships from hyperspace, leaving them stranded in the Tinn system unless they can make
repairs on Echnos. Echnos' inhabitants live in an enormous city-dome, forty kilometers in diameter and
nearly 2000 stories high. The city's giant dome, made of blue transparisteel, shields the inhabitants from
the gas giant's magnetic field and seals in a breathable atmosphere. Ships enter through eight airlock entry
ports on top of the dome, and land on pads built on the peaks of the tallest buildings. The overpopulated
city was built level upon level, and Level 75 is the last one open to the dome's blue "sky." The crowded,
high-technology metropolis is a haven for smugglers and mercenaries, and has no form of organized
government. People often come to Echnos to obtain high technology from the city's thriving black market.
Attractions within the domed city include its many casinos and the weekly BlastBoat 2000 demolition
derby, held in the Echnos Exhibition Dome.

Echnos was first settled during the Old Republic. When scouts had their ships burned out by Tinn VI's
magnetic field, the stranded crews had no choice but to colonize the nearby moon. More ships were
trapped over the years from hyperspace routes near the system, but Echnos' original colonists could now
make the necessary repairs. Echnos recorded almost 10,000 visits during the colony's first fifteen years,
and eventually became a standard refueling and repair stop for those heading to the Outer Rim. While the
moon has lost some of its importance over the years, it is still the only place in the system where any ships
damaged by Tinn VI's magnetic field can make repairs. The compound called Polydex-9, sold in Echnos
markets at a high price, is the only substance that repair the stripped magnetic bottle on these ships.

Elom
Galactic News Network reporter Kella Rand's first offworld assignment was covering a mining revolt on
the cold world of Elom. Five years after the Battle of Endor, a New Republic task force crewed by Elomin
were completely wiped out by Grand Admiral Thrawn near the Obroa-skai system, since Thrawn
understood the Elomin's psychological inability to defend against a Marg Sabl closure maneuver. Twelve
years after the Battle of Endor, after leaving the planet Teyr, Luke Skywalker briefly monitored the ship
Adela, belonging to Refka Trell of Elom. Councilor B'thog of Elom is a respected leader within the New
Republic, and the planet itself is represented in the Republic by Senator Rattagagech. Elomic physical
calculus is often used in Elom society to decide a proper course of action. [HTTE, SWAJ, XWWG, SOL,

Elrood
Elrood, located in the sector of the same name, is the site of a commercial colony that contains
prefabricated room units from the factories of Sullust. The Dark Jedi Durrei, who joined with a Imperial
faction in the Corva sector after the Battle of Endor, was a native of Elrood. [COTJ, SWAJ]

Elrood sector
The Elrood sector, presumably some distance from the Outer Rim, contains the planets Elrood, Lanthrym,
Tro'Har, and Coyn. The smuggler Saylor Marjan ran spice through the sector to help pay off a debt owed to
the crimelord Saadoon-Kauldi. [SWAJ]

Elshandruu Pica
Elshandruu Pica is a pleasant world orbited by three moons -- one red and two white. The local system
contains an asteroid belt that is often used as a staging area by pirates. The planet's capital city is Picavil,
which contains Margath's, a popular hotel and casino complex on the ocean coast. Margath's includes the
notorious 27th Hour Club and is owned by Kina Margath, a longtime Alliance agent. The planet's Imperial
Moff is Riit Jandi. Captain Sair Yonka, commander of the Star Destroyer Avarice, kept a 26th floor suite at
Margath's and carried on an affair with Moff Jandi's wife. Some three years after the Battle of Endor, after
Rogue Squadron resigned from the New Republic military, members of the squadron intercepted Yonka at
the Moff's oceanside cottage and convinced him to defect. After Ysanne Isard learned of this, she ordered
his mistress killed. [XWBW]

Emberlene
Emberlene is the homeworld of the mysterious warrior women called the Mistryl shadow guards. Years
ago, the planet was utterly devastated in an attack. Most of the arable land was ruined, and many surviving
citizens died by disease and starvation. The larger galaxy took no notice of the attack, and Emberlene
received no relief supplies. Instead, the Eleven Elders of the People commissioned the Mistryl shadow
guards to hire their combat skills out to the galaxy; in return, the Mistryl used their payments to help
rebuild their planet. Just before the Battle of Yavin, the Mistryl shadow guards Shada D'ukal and Karoly
D'ulin helped recover the Hammertong weapon on Tatooine. Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, Shada
encountered Karoly on Borcorash, who warned her away from Emberlene. Native animals include
scavenger insects. [TFTC, SOTP]

Endor
Located in the Moddell sector and the remote Endor system, Endor is a silvery gas giant orbited by nine
moons. Its largest moon is the size of a small planet, and is variously known as the Forest Moon, the
Sanctuary Moon, or often simply as Endor. The Endor system is very difficult to reach, since the uncharted
territory and massive gravitational shadow of the gas giant require several complicated hyperspace jumps.
Therefore, over the years many star travelers have crashed and become stranded on the habitable Forest
Moon of Endor. Endor is a temperate moon of forests, savannas, and mountains, with a relatively light
gravity. The world's low axial tilt and the regular orbit of its gas giant primary helps ensure a comfortable
climate suitable for its many native lifeforms, including the Endorian pony, the Endoran vethiraptor, boar-
wolves, glowing sprites called Wisties, fast mischievous teeks, winged condor dragons, gunlabirds,
predatory Yootaks, and stump-dwelling tempters that lure prey with their camouflaged, articulated tongues.
The most common sentient species on Endor are the primitive, furry Ewoks, who make their communal
dwellings high in the trees. Called "lifetrees" by the Ewoks, the trees can reach heights of 1000 meters and
are considered the spiritual guardians of the Ewok species. Music plays an important role in Ewok culture,
which is made up of a rigid clan system. Ewoks are skilled engineers (among their inventions are gliders
and catapults), and each tribe has a shaman who interprets mystical signs. A natural enemy of the Ewoks
are the 30-meter high humanoid creatures called Gorax, who search the trees for Ewok dwellings low
enough to grab. Gorax inhabit the rocky highlands of the barren Desert of Salma, which lies beyond the
Yawari Cliffs north of the dense forest. The Desert is also marked by acid pools and dry lakes, and large
rearing spiders are known to live in the bottoms of the Gorax caves. West of the forest are vast grassland
plains known as the Dragon's Pelt, which are dotted with jutting lava rocks. In the distance lies a range of
snow-capped mountains called the Dragon's Spine. Stilt-legged yuzzums inhabit the savanna, hunting
small rodents called ruggers. A colony of off-planet alien marauders have built a stone castle on the
Dragon's Pelt, and use the two-legged, slow-witted blurrgs as beasts of burden for their raids into the forest
to attack Ewok villages. A type of tree fungus is the source of the addictive drug Rokna blue, which causes
euphoria but damages a person's memory beyond repair.

Almost a century ago, the humanoid marauders crash-landed on Endor with the Dathomirian Nightsister
Charal. Following the orders of their leader Terak, the long-lived aliens built a castle and searched for a
power source to repair their disabled starship. Much later, a starship belonging to the Towani family
crashed on the forest moon. A giant Gorax captured both parents and imprisoned them in his mountain
fortress in the Desert of Salma. Mace and Cindel (the Towani children) managed to rescue their parents
from the Gorax with the help of Wicket the Ewok and the other members of his tribe. Later, the marauders,
led by Terak and Charal, killed the entire Towani family except for Cindel. With the help of the Ewoks and
the stranded human Noa, the marauders were eventually defeated and Cindel and Noa were able to leave
the forest moon. Soon after, the Empire selected Endor as the construction site for the second Death Star,
and established an Imperial base on the surface to generate a protective shield for the orbiting battle station.
A Rebel strike force, including Han Solo and Leia Organa, was able to destroy the shield generator with the
help of Wicket's Ewok tribe. The Death Star and much of the Imperial fleet were subsequently destroyed in
what is now known as the Battle of Endor. A cloud of Darkside energy (a residual effect of the Emperor's
first death) is now located in Endor's orbit at the site of this destruction. Throm Loro, a leader of the
resistance on Cilpar, helped liberate an Imperial base on Endor, where he saved the life of a Wookiee
prisoner. [ROTJ, ROJN, DFR, JS, DA, SWS, COTJ, XW, DESB, ETVM, ISWU, SOL]

Engira
An Imperial replenishment convoy was ambushed outside Engira, resulting in the loss of three freighters
and their cargoes of food and ammunition worth over 18 million credits. [SWS]

Ennth
Ennth, a remote colony world not located on any major trade route, has a pale, pockmarked moon that
travels in a long, highly elliptical orbit. Its terrain is primarily hardened lava rock, broken by an occasional
green patch of farmland. Every eight years, the moon travels close enough to brush Ennth's atmosphere,
creating immense gravitic stresses and setting off quakes, tidal waves, and volcanic eruptions. Nearly
everything on the surface is destroyed during this event, but blankets of volcanic ash make the lands fertile
once more. The evacuating colonists stay on orbital refugee stations, cargo haulers stripped of their
hyperdrive engines to accommodate more passengers. New settlements, typically built on the same site as
the old, are constructed of prefabricated modules and given similar, successive names -- "New Hopetown"
leads to "Newer Hopetown" and then "Newest Hopetown." Ennth is the homeworld of Zekk, a friend of
Jacen and Jaina Solo. Zekk's parents were killed in one of these disasters, and the nine year-old boy stowed
away on a cargo ship rather than remain on one of the refugee stations. During the most recent disaster,
approximately 20 years after the Battle of Endor, the settlements Another Hopetown, Newest Coast Town,
and Heartland Settlement were all destroyed. [YJK, YJK2]

Entralla
Entralla, located in the system of the same name, lies within the Velcar Free Commerce Zone in the
Pentastar Alignment. The planet is a world of shining spaceports whose large, single moon can often be
seen in its bright blue sky. Entralla has a proud and ancient history -- many prominent religious sects had
their origin on Entralla, and the planet is home to several important monasteries. Within Entralla's Nexus
City starport is the famous historic district and a seedy industrial zone known as the Overhang, where very
little sunlight can penetrate the dense buildings. Entrallans have a deep respect for their long history of rich
legends, and their pale moon features prominently in their mythology. During the traditional Lunar Night
festival (on the night when Entralla's moon passes closest to the planet) the famous Parade of Ghosts is
staged in Nexus City's historic district. Many tourists come to see the spectacle, which commemorates the
deeds of mythical Entrallan warriors. Entralla is also home to the Guild of Interstellar Merchants, a large
organization of commercial spacers who operate within the Pentastar Alignment. The Guild sets schedules
and fees between its members and Guild-sponsored worlds.

After the Emperor's death at Endor, the inhabitants of Entralla staged a civil uprising, intending to leave the
Empire and join the Alliance. The newly-formed Pentastar Alignment, however, immediately placed the
Entrallan Senate under house arrest and installed a puppet regime. New Republic Colonel Andrephan
Stormcaller tried to persuade the Republic navy liberate Entralla, his home planet. When the Republic
declined to help, Stormcaller resigned his military position and formed the Red Moons, an elite mercenary
group that often fights the Pentastar Alignment. The pirate Roark Slader was once a commander in the
Entrallan militia. [SWAJ]

Eol Sha
Eol Sha, a volcanic world, is circled by a large double moon which is in decaying orbit and will likely
collide with the planet in another hundred years. The surface of the planet is covered with scalding geysers
and bubbling lava fissures, which were known to hold a dangerous lava fireworm.

A mining operation was established on Eol Sha 100 years ago to extract valuable gasses from the nearby
Cauldron Nebula, but when the operation failed the colonists were forgotten. The colonists lived on the
planet for generations, surviving on crustacean bugdillos and edible lichens, until relocated to Dantooine by
the New Republic. Gantoris, one of Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy students, was from Eol Sha. The
planet was possibly destroyed when all the suns in the adjacent Cauldron Nebula went nova. [JS]

Eriadu
Eriadu, a polluted factory planet in the Seswenna sector, is a trading and governmental hub in the Outer
Rim. Eriadu was the capitol world of Grand Moff Tarkin's territory, established as Tarkin's base of
operations when he was placed in charge of the Outer Rim Territories. Tarkin ruled from the Governor's
Palace on the planet's surface. During a trip from Eriadu to the newly-completed Death Star at Despayre,
Tarkin's shuttle was attacked by a strike force of Alliance Y-wing starfighters. Although the Grand Moff
was rescued by the timely arrival of a Star Destroyer, the Rebels managed to rescue Tarkin's Mon Calamari
servant Ackbar. The Imperial tech Deppo, who served on the Emperor's World Devastators, was raised on
Eriadu. When the head of House Elegin departed to attend a meeting with Roganda Ismaren on Belsavis,
he left his family on Eriadu. One of the planet's exports is shellwork jewelry. [COTJ, DESB, DSTC, DS]

Esseles
The planet Esseles is located in the Darpa sector of the Core Worlds along the Perlemian Trade Route. For
years, Esseles dominated all the other planets within the Darpa sector, but the planet lost territory during
the pre-Clone Wars era, and still more with the rise of the Empire. Esseles is a warm world covered with
young mountain ranges, and its 24 billion inhabitants live in the few scattered valleys and plains. The
Esselians are loyal to their homeworld, and prefer to meet their own needs before those of the Empire; an
active New Order party has been trying to force Esseles more fully into the Imperial mold. Calamar, the
planet's capital city, is viewed as a center of high culture with its many parks and museums. New Calamar
is located on the planet's southern continent (which is often called Calamar) and is home to Terril Naval
Base. Other cities include Alabar. Esseles' government is composed of the elected representatives of the
Hall and President Cambira Ralle, who are all overseen by Imperial Governor Griff Takel. President Ralle,
a hero who led Esseles through the Clone Wars, is a member of the Forad political party. After the Battle of
Yavin, Ralle was challenged by both the rival Cardean party and the pro-Empire Esselian New Order
(ENO) party, the leader of which asked Ralle to step down voluntarily in favor of the ENO candidate. The
planet is a center for high-tech research and development, including hypernautics and advanced hyperdrive
engines. Prior to the Battle of Yavin, Esseles' economy was hurt by Lord Tion's blockade of the nearby
world Ralltiir. This severely harmed Esseles' alien population, who largely work in the transportation
industry. The controversial jatz musician Fitz Roi created a stir when he appeared on stage dressed as a
Jedi Knight during a concert in Calamar, and Roi later declared his intentions to live on Esseles full-time.
Doctor Pippa Rosheed taught at Sperinad University on Esseles between her stints with Fernandin Scouting
Expedition. [SWAJ, GG2]

Ession
Ession, in the Corporate Sector, is the fourth planet in the Lucaya system. Colonized four thousand years
ago, the world is a major manufacturing center and the headquarters of Pakkerd Light Transport, a former
division of Sienar Fleet Systems that secretly threw its allegiance behind Warlord Zsinj. Space stations
circling the planet act as orbital warehouses. Ession's largest moon, 500,000 kilometers from the planet,
has a 40% standard gravity and is covered with craters and silvery dust. A communications relay dish is
situated on one of the lunar mountains in order to relay transmissions from Ession to ships located behind
the moon. Approximately four years after the Battle of Endor, Zsinj used the Pakkerd factory as a lure to
defeat New Republic forces in battle. Wedge Antilles and Wraith Squadron used the captured corvette
Night Caller to destroy the Star Destroyer Implacable on Ession's moon, while a group of Y-wing fighters
bombed the Pakkerd plant into oblivion. During the fighting, Wraith pilots Falynn Sandskimmer and
Eurrsk "Grinder" Thri'ag were killed. [XWWS]

Etti IV
Located in the Etti system, Etti IV is one of the Corporate Sector's large urban worlds. A civilized planet,
Etti IV is a trade world marked by moss-covered plains, shallow saline seas and a favorable location near
many hyperspace routes. Etti IV is very wealthy, inhabited by both prosperous Corporate Sector Authority
executives and a thriving criminal underbelly. The planet has many diversions for its moneyed citizens,
including an Authority Currency Exchange, Sabodor's pet shop, and the Free-Flight Dance Dome.
Approximately four years after the Battle of Endor, Wedge Antilles interviewed a human pilot, facing a
court martial for theft, from Etti IV for possible inclusion into Wraith Squadron. The applicant was
rejected when he stole a framed holo of Wedge's parents. [HSSE, D, CSSB, XWWS]

Eva-T system
The Eva-T system possibly contains the planet Kiilimaar, where a rendezvous between Imperial and pirate
forces was held to negotiate the release of a TIE Defender scientist. [TSC]

Evas VI
Evas VI is one base of operations for Linkaas, head of the Linkaas Corporation and a member of the
plantlike Pliith species. [SWAJ]

Evocar
The former homeworld of the primitive Evocii, Evocar has since been renamed Nal Hutta. [DESB]

Evona
The possibly mythical star Evona was once a twin star with Ardos, according to Hutt legend. It was then
drawn into a black hole, causing the devastation of the orbiting planet Varl. [GG4]

Excarga
Excarga, home to several profitable ore-processing corporations, was located far from the fighting during
the Galactic Civil War. The planet made a sizable profit supplying the Alliance with materials. Drextar
Pym, a New Republic senator from Excarga, is head of the panel that prosecutes former Imperials for their
war crimes. While traveling to a conference aboard a magnetic-lift train, Pym and his family were
terrorized by a series of explosives, set by a former Imperial Storm Commando taking his revenge on Pym.
[SWAJ]

Exocron system
Located in the Kalthol Outback. After the attacks of Grand Admiral Thrawn, Talon Karrde asked Lando
Calrissian and Mara Jade to hunt down Jorj Car'das; the trail ended in the Exocron system. Fifteen years
after the Battle of Endor, Karrde went to the system to meet with Car'das. [SOTP]

Exodeen
Exodeenians have six arms, six legs, and six rows of teeth. The planet was formerly represented by M'yet
Luure in the New Republic Senate. Thirteen years after the Battle of Endor, Luure was killed in the
bombing of Senate Hall on Coruscant. A former Imperial Exodeenian, R'yet Coome, was elected to fill his
place. [NR]

Exodo II
Exodo II, lying near Odos and the Spangled Veil Nebula in the Meridian sector, is blanketed with a thick,
stormy atmosphere and covered with plains of blackened, hardened lava. The planet's most common
lifeform are ghaswars, which burrow into the crust and leave dusty bore-holes behind. Nine years after the
Battle of Endor, Han Solo and Lando Calrissian came to the planet searching for any sign of Leia Organa
Solo, but found a wrecked scout cruiser instead. Soon after, they were attacked by an Imperial fleet from
the nearby Antemeridian sector, but lost their pursuers in the Spangled Veil Nebula. [POT]

Fakir sector
An Imperial treasury ship and its corvette escort were severely damaged by six Rebel X-wings in the Fakir
sector. In addition, Alliance historian Voren Na'al took the cover of a special agent for the Moff of the
Fakir sector during his infiltration of the Imperial data storage net on Halowan. [SWS, MTS]

Falleen
The homeworld of the humanoid alien species also called Falleen. Though the Falleen appear human, they
are actually reptilian in origin, with cold blood and skin that can change color according to mood. Both
sexes can emit powerful pheromones (which a member of the opposite sex finds almost impossible to
resist) and can stay underwater for long periods of time. Prince Xizor, head of the criminal organization
Black Sun and possibly the third-most powerful man in the Empire, was a Falleen. Roughly ten years
before the Battle of Endor, Darth Vader established a biological-warfare laboratory on Falleen. When a
deadly virus escaped from the lab, the city surrounding the facility was burnt to the ground in an orbital
bombardment to prevent the disease from spreading. 200,000 Falleen were killed, including Xizor's father
(king of a small Falleen nation) and all other members of Xizor's family. [SOTE]

Farana
A region of space on the far side of the Corporate Sector. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, Luke
Skywalker discovered that the starliner Star Morning, belonging to the religious Fallanassi order, had been
spending the last few months in Farana, but had recently arrived at Vulvarch. [SOL]

Farboon
The world of Farboon appears green, blue and white when seen from space. While at Farboon, TIE pilot
Maarek Stele rescued Admiral Mordon's shuttle from an attacking group of Rebel X- and Y-wing fighters.
[TSC]

Farfeld II
Farfeld II is located in the Farfeld system. A System Patrol Squadron base for Imperial corvettes near the
planet was destroyed by the Alliance in the time following the Battle of Yavin. [FP]

Farlax sector
The Farlax sector contains the Koornacht Cluster, home of the alien Yevetha. There are large areas of the
sector that have never been properly surveyed. During the Empire's reign, the Black Sword Command was
charged with the defense of Praxlis, Corridan, and the entire Kokash, Hatawa, and Farlax sectors. Polneye,
a planet at the edges of the Koornacht Cluster, was established by the Black Sword Command as a secret
military transshipment point for the Farlax sector. Following the Battle of Endor, Imperial forces
abandoned the sector and retreated into the Core. There are more than two hundred inhabited worlds in the
combined Hatawa and Farlax sectors -- a third of the region is now aligned with the New Republic while
another third is uninhabited or unclaimed. Not counting the Koornacht Cluster, the Farlax sector
encompasses over 2000 inhabited systems, 300 of which are not members of the New Republic. The
brown dwarf star Doornik-1142 and its planets are located on the edge of the Cluster, while J't'p'tan is
located at the heart. N'zoth, Wakiza, Tizon, Pa'aal, Prildaz, Z'fell, Faz, Tholaz, and Zhina are Yevethan
worlds within the cluster. Non-Yevethan colony worlds in the cluster include New Brigia, Pirol-5, Polneye,
Kutag (Doornik-881), Elcorth, Kojash, Doornik-207, J't'p'tan (Doornik-628), and Morning Bell (Doornik-
319 or Preza). The planets Galantos and Wehttam are the closest inhabited worlds to the Cluster, and
Dandalas, Nanta-Ri, and Kktkt lie close to Koornacht as well. Joruna and Widek are two New Republic
planets located somewhat near the Cluster, possibly in the Farlax sector. During the crisis in the Koornacht
Cluster twelve years after the Battle of Endor, eighteen planets in the Farlax sector made emergency
petitions for membership in the New Republic in the hopes of defending themselves against the Yevetha.
Leia approved the applications and sent the New Republic's Fifth Fleet to Farlax to force the Yevetha to
back down. [BTS, SOL, TT]

Farrfin sector
The Farrfin sector was one target in an offensive by Grand Admiral Thrawn. The New Republic put up stiff
resistance in this and the Dolomar sectors, and Admiral Ackbar personally made a tour of the defenses in
both these areas. [LC]

Faz
Faz, lying within the Koornacht Cluster of the Farlax sector, is one of the primary worlds of the alien
Yevethan species and is a member of the Duskhan League. [SOL]

Fedje
A forested planet on which Han Solo spent some time as part of his Alliance duties. During the New
Republic's retreat from Generis, there was hope that Wing Commander Varth had escaped and was able to
hook up with a unit at Fedje. [LC]

Feenicks VI
An Imperial System Patrol Squadron base near Feenicks VI was eliminated by an Alliance strike team in
the time following the Battle of Yavin. [FP]
Fef
A moderately large planet orbiting an orange-yellow star, Fef is the homeworld of the insectoid Fefze.
Fef's thick atmosphere and hot temperature contribute to its teeming variety of lifeforms, all of whom have
relatively short life-spans. The Fefze, who form intelligent group-minds (called "swarms") of 10 to 100
individuals, are able to digest all forms of carbon-based organic matter. Due to the abundance of food
available to the Fefze and their lack of dexterous manipulative appendages, they have not developed
technological skills and Fef has few exports. Fef does receive tourists who come to view the famed Fefze
dance swarms. [GG4]

Femion
Approximately four years after the Battle of Endor, Warlord Zsinj's corvette Night Caller was assigned to
visit a number of unaligned rimward planetary systems and refueling rendezvous points located just outside
of New Republic territory. The schedule included Viamarr Four, Xartun, Belthu, Em-Two-Three-Nine-
Eight, Todirium, Obinipor, and Femion. [XWWS]

Fere
The Fere (also called Feree) system contains a double star. Two hundred years ago, the planet Fere was
home to an advanced alien culture of tall, pale humanoids with six-fingered hands. They were also master
starship builders, and some of their small luxury cruisers can still be found in the galaxy today. During a
series of wars, someone accidentally carried a deadly plague to Fere which killed all life on the world.
[COPL]

Ferrhast
New Republic operative Shandria L'hnnar attended the famous Imperial Institute of Higher Studies on
Ferrhast. [SWAJ]

Ferros VI
The location of an Imperial prison camp. [DSTC]

Fest
Fest, located in the system of the same name, is in the Atrivis sector of the Outer Rim and borders the
Mantooine system. An Imperial Weapons Research Facility, hidden in a steep mountain range, was located
on Fest and performed metallurgical research on new alloys. Following the Battle of Yavin, Alliance agent
Kyle Katarn infiltrated the facility and stole a sample of the metal Phrik, used in armoring the Dark
Troopers. The Fest system was also home to a resistance group opposing the Empire. [DF, FP]

Fibuli
Fibuli, containing the city of Knanan, is one of the Trianii colony worlds that was annexed by the adjacent
Corporate Sector. Open warfare erupted as the famous Trianii Rangers fought the CSA's encroachment on
their territory. An armistice was finally announced between the Trianii and the CSA sometime after the
Battle of Yavin, following three years of devastating battles. The Trianii Ranger Atuarre's mate, Keeheen,
disappeared during the fighting and was eventually rescued, with Han Solo's help, from the Stars' End
prison. [CSSB, SWAJ]

Fiddanl
The innermost planet of the Yavin system. Fiddanl is a hot, dense world whose continental plates
constantly shift atop a sea of liquid mercury. The planet's eighteen landmasses, which can move as much
as 630 kilometers a day, constantly grind each other down but are continually replaced through rapid crystal
growth. The multicolored continents get their hues from a varied mix of Cinnabar, sulfite, and manganese,
and Fiddanl's high gravity keeps the shifting land relatively flat. The planet's atmosphere, though relatively
free from storms and other disturbances, is toxic to almost all species. There are no indications of life on
Fiddanl's surface. The name "Fiddanl" seems to have been given to the planet by a Nuiwit clerk in the
Imperial Xenodetic Survey department. [GG2]

Filve
Filve was targeted by the Star Destroyer Judicator in a multi-pronged attack by Grand Admiral Thrawn
intended to draw New Republic forces away from Ukio. At the same time, Leia Organa Solo was planning
to visit the Filvian government to assure them of New Republic support. When she arrived during the
battle, Joruus C'baoth sent the entire Imperial strike force after the Millennium Falcon in a vain attempt to
capture her. [LC]

Findris
Located in the Colonies Region, Findris is home to several anti-Empire underground organizations, the
most violent of which was the Justice Action Network (JAN) terrorist group led by Earnst Kamiel. Kamiel
was caught on Eldrood after the Battle of Yavin and extradited to the Haldeen sector for Imperial trial.
[SWAJ]

Firrerre
All life on the planet Firrerre was wiped out through the Empire's use of a biological weapon, and it is still
unsafe for any ships to land there. The devastation was ordered by Hethrir, the Imperial Procurator of
Justice (himself a native of Firrerre) and carried out by the Empire's elite Starcrash Brigade. The people of
Firrerre, humanoids with long, striped hair, were believed to have been rendered extinct by the death of
their world, though Leia Organa Solo discovered a passenger-freighter carrying many of its natives in
suspended animation. The highest waterfall on Firrerre reaches 1,263 meters. [CS]

Firro
Many deaths and atrocities were committed on Firro during its brutal subjugation by the Empire, and Lord
Cuvir was installed as Imperial Governor of Firro. During a visit to a Firro relief station, Cuvir witnessed
the skill of Imperial medical droid Too-Onebee and made the droid his personal physician. Too-Onebee has
since joined the Alliance. [MTS]

F'la Ren
A blue-white star orbited by F'tral, home of the Iyra. [GG4]

Flax
Flax, home to the insectoid alien species called Flakax, is located in the Ptera system. Flax is covered by
oceans but much of the land is desert, due to high mountain ranges which prevent atmospheric transference
of moisture from the seas. The emotionless Flakax live in underground hives, and their lives are spent in
continual devotion to the hive and its queen. Flax has no notable technologies or exports, other than the
skilled labor provided by the Flakax. After the planet was taken over by the Empire the Flakax were put to
work mining Flax's underground minerals. [GG4]

Fodurant
The location of a prison colony. [SOTP]

Foeless Crossroads
When Luke Skywalker departed from the planet Teyr, he guessed that the other ships in his outbound
corridor were headed for the Foeless Crossroads or for Darepp. [SOL]

Foerost
The site of a vast Republic orbital shipyard, one of the oldest and most successful shipyards in the galaxy.
Raw materials were gathered from the uninhabited planet of Foerost below and shipped up to high orbit,
where they were assembled into warships for the Republic navy. Nearly four thousand years ago during the
Sith War, the Foerost shipyards were attacked by Ulic Qel-Droma and Aleema, who used her darkside
illusions to make their fleet appear to be one large, innocent vessel. After a quick and deadly battle, Qel-
Droma's forces had captured the operations codes for three hundred of the Republic's newest warships.
[TSW]

Fokask
One of Han Solo's old smuggling friends retired on Fokask. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, this
friend sent Han a copy of The Fokask Banner which contained an uncomplimentary article about Chief of
State Leia Organa Solo. [SOL]

Folor
The largest moon orbiting the planet Commenor, Folor is a craggy gray satellite once home to an Alliance
starfighter training center. The mountainous surface is sometimes covered with frost, and appears silvery-
gray from space. The base was built within a network of underground tunnels, which had been a mining
complex (and likely a smugglers' hideout) in the past. Numerous surface buildings still exist as holdovers
from the vanished mining colony, including an abandoned hangar still filled with mining vehicles. The
New Republic made a conscientious effort to keep the base secure and regularly contained all emissions,
only lighting the visual landing beacons when they were needed by arriving craft. The base contained an
interior gymnasium, a shooting gallery, and a makeshift cantina called the DownTime. The Folor
starfighter training base was once commanded by General Horton Salm, though General Edor Crespin was
later made the new commander. The moon's surface features a deep twisting canyon called the Pig Trough,
nicknamed for the Y-wing starfighters that often trained there. The Trough's endpoint is one kilometer from
the base's locaton, then extends thousands of kilometers off to the northeast before making a northwest turn
and extending even farther. The distant opposite end of the Pig Trough is used for starfighter maneuvers,
gunnery targeting, and bombing practice. A satellite field surrounding Folor is also used by pilots for
obstacle training. Two and a half years after the Battle of Endor, the newest members of Rogue Squadron
were instructed at Folor before flying their first combat missions. Later, after the Rogues resigned from the
New Republic military, Pash Cracken left the group to join up with Commander Varth's wing staging from
Folor. Their patrol area included the planet Yag'Dhul. A short time later, Warlord Zsinj's Super Star
Destroyer Iron Fist bombarded the Folor base in order to destroy Rogue Squadron. Zsinj was unsuccessful
and the base was repaired, though a huge boulder came loose during the bombardment and fell in the
middle of the DownTime cantina (earning it the nickname "Mount Zsinj"). Approximately four years after
Endor, the Folor base was again attacked, this time by Admiral Apwar Trigit and the Star Destroyer
Implacable. The New Republic threw together a false base on the opposite side of Folor, on an ice plain
between two mountain ranges, in order to deceive Trigit and give them enough time to successfully
evacuate. [XWRS, XWBW, XWWS]

Fondor
An industrial planet in the system of the same name, Fondor is famous for the huge starship construction
facilities (among the largest in the galaxy) in its orbit. It was at these starship yards that the droid Bollux
was first activated. Later, the Empire took over the Fondor yards, and built the Super Star Destroyer
Executor there immediately following the Battle of Yavin. A duplicate Executor was built at the planet
Kuat, which was later renamed Lusankya. During the Executor's construction, Imperial forces erected a
military blockade and closed the system to all civilian traffic. In order to meet supply needs for the massive
project, the Empire opened up a new hyperlane between Fondor and Gandeal for cargo traffic. When
several Imperial admirals saw the Executor as a blatant bid for power on Darth Vader's part, they tried to
sabotage its construction by bringing in a Rebel spy -- Luke Skywalker. Vader trapped the traitorous
admirals when their group met with Skywalker in the vast steam tunnels beneath Fondor's surface, but
Skywalker managed to escape the planet by stowing away on an automated drone barge. [HSSE, CSSB,
CSW, SWAJ, XWBW]

Fornax
The location of the Fire Rings. Han Solo once remarked that a difficult task can be compared to "flying
through the five Fire Rings of Fornax." [SWN]
Froz
The home planet of the Frozians -- tall, furred, extra-jointed aliens known for their melancholy outlook on
life. Micamberlecto, the former New Republic governor-general of the Corellian sector, was a Frozian.
[AAC]

F'tral
A large water-covered world orbiting the blue-white star F'la Ren, F'tral is home to the tentacled
cephalopods known as the Iyra. The few volcanic islands on F'tral are home to fisher plants, seducer
plants, and cannibal plants. The Iyra inhabit large undersea cities and have developed many valuable
technologies, including corrosion-resistant alloys and gravity-field and inertial devices for starships. Iyra
society is based on a caste system, with the number of tentacles an individual has corresponding to his or
her own caste. The more tentacles an Iyra grows, the higher the caste, and since Iyra tend to grow more
tentacles as they grow older an individual can move through several castes in a lifetime. Iyra look down on
those in lower castes, and are especially contemptuous of most four-limbed alien species. [GG4]

Fwatna
Thirteen years after the Battle of Endor, Lando Calrissian found the abandoned freighter Spicy Lady, which
had belonged to his old smuggling associate Jarril. While looking through the ship's computer, Lando
discovered that one of Jarril's contacts, Dolph, was located on Fwatna, but the contact hadn't been used in
three years. [NR]

Fwiis
A colony world over 150 light years from Atzerri. The starliner Star Morning, owned by the religious
Fallanassi order, departed the planet Teyr and went to Darepp. From there it traveled towards the Outer
Rim, stopping at the colony worlds 23 Mere, Yisgga, New Polokia, Fwiis, and Babbadod. [SOL]

Fwillsving
A planet somewhat near Honoghr and Kessel. Luke Skywalker considered visiting Fwillsving when he
needed replacement fuel cells for his X-wing. [LC]

Gaios
It a common proverb on Gaios that "a seed does not know the flower that produced it." [BTS]

Galaan
Galaan, a large gas giant located in the Galaanus system of the Corva sector, is covered with green, gray,
and white clouds that restrict visibility to a few hundred meters. The New Republic operates a floating
Intelligence outpost in Galaan's upper atmosphere, which acts as the communications center for the entire
Corva sector. [SWAJ]

Galaanus system
Located in the Corva sector of the Outer Rim, the Galaanus system contains the gas giant Galaan. [SWAJ]

Galantos
Located in the Farlax sector near the Koornacht Cluster, Galantos is the homeworld of the alien Fia. The
Cluster appears as a bright oval of light in Galantos' night sky, and is known among the Fia as The
Multitude. The Fian population of Galantos is approximately 500,000. A chromite mining colony on New
Brigia, within the Koornacht Cluster, once traded its ore along the hyperlanes to Galantos and Wehttam,
until the collapse of Imperial control of the Farlax sector made commerce increasingly hazardous. Twelve
years after the Battle of Endor, the Gran pilot Plat Mallar escaped from a brutal Yevethan attack on his
home planet Polneye in the Koornacht Cluster and desperately tried to reach Galantos in a short-range TIE
Interceptor. A passing ship bound for Woqua intercepted Mallar's signal, and the Fia became concerned
about the Yevethans' attack on the nearby planet. Jobath, councilor of the Fia, came to Leia Organa Solo's
residence on Coruscant to petition for Galantos' membership in the New Republic and to ask her for
protection against the Yevethan fleet. Leia accepted the emergency petitions for membership from all
worlds bordering the Cluster, and sent the Gol Storn and the Thackery to Galantos as a show of strength.
Councilor Jobath offered to make Plat Mallar a citizen of Galantos, but he declined. [BTS, SOL]

Gall
Gall is a moon orbiting the gas giant planet Zhar in the far Rim systems, out in the middle of nowhere and a
long distance from the planet Tatooine. The moon is an Imperial Enclave defended by two Star Destroyers;
its surface contains a shipyard and spaceport. Other points of interest include the red-rock Grand Trench
and numerous evergreen forests. Gall's atmosphere is occasionally roiled by unpredictable cyclones,
particularly in the southern hemisphere. The moon Kile orbits Zhar directly opposite the orbit of Gall.
After the Battle of Hoth, Boba Fett's ship Slave I was spotted at Gall, and Dash Rendar passed the
information onto Lando Calrissian. An Alliance rescue force, including Rogue Squadron, was quickly
assembled to try and retrieve Han Solo's carbonite slab. While Luke and the Rogues drew off Imperial
defenses in a space battle, Rendar's Outrider and the Millennium Falcon flew into Gall's spaceport.
Unfortunately, the rescue attempt was a failure. [SOTE, XWRS]

Gallinore
A planet in the Hapes cluster and home to the extremely valuable rainbow gems. The gems, actually
silicon-based lifeforms, mature after thousands of years and glow with an inner light. [COPL]

Galltine
Elea Poista, a top Exex at Bespin Motors, created the false identity "Kel" to aid in her black market sales--
including a set of forged birth records on Galltine. [GG2]

Galov sector
Located in the Outer Rim, the Galov sector contains the planet Romar. The entire sector is ruled by the
ruthless Moff Antoll Jellrek, who accepts bribes from the local crimelords in return for allowing them to
continue their criminal practices. [SWAJ]

Galpos II
GrimDeath I, a pirateship responsible for raids in the Woldona system, was the target of an Imperial
spacetrooper assault before it could reach its destination of Galpos II. [SWS]

Galvoni III
The location of an Imperial military communications complex. Alliance historian Voren Na'al infiltrated
the complex following the Battle of Yavin in order to gain more information about the Death Star project.
[MTS]

Gama system
The home system of a humanoid alien species known as the Gama-Senn. Six years after the Battle of
Endor, the leader of the Gama-Senn people pledged his system's allegiance to the reborn Emperor after
witnessing a demonstration of Palpatine's devastating Galaxy Gun. [EE]

Gammalin
Gammalin is a dry, rocky world orbiting a yellow sun. The planet's only settlement was an all-human
colony, featuring prefabricated structures laid out in a precise grid pattern. Approximately twenty years
after the Battle of Endor, the bounty hunter Zekk came to the Gammalin colony to look for a smuggler
named Fonterrat. While there, he encountered Boba Fett, and also discovered that the entire local
population had been killed by a plague virus. [YJK2]

Gamorr
Gamorr's varied terrain ranges from frozen tundra to deep forests, and it is considered quite pleasant by off-
worlders. The dim-witted Gamorreans, however, care only for the vicious, bloody warfare constantly
occurring between rival clans. Gamorrean sows run the clans and do the productive work such as hunting
and farming, while the boars spend all their time training and fighting their rivals with primitive hand-axes
and swords, vying for the attention of the Alpha female. Gamorrean males have glandular imbalances that
spur them to violence, and heavy layers of body fat guard against starvation and insulate their bodies from
cold temperatures. Gamorr is also home to furry, bloodsucking parasites called morrts, that Gamorreans
look upon with affection and allow to feed on their own body fluids. The first interstellar trading ship to
land on Gamorr was utterly destroyed after five armies fought a bloody two-day battle for the right to do
so. Procedures programs for those intending to visit the planet state only, "Do not visit Gamorr." Many
Gamorreans are employed throughout the galaxy as guards, mercenaries, and enforcers, and some have
colonized the Outer Rim world of Pzob. The planet is also home to vicious Gamorrean watch-beasts (used
as guard animals at the Imperial Army training centers on Sirpar) and Gamorrean slime cats. Liegeus Vorn,
an expert holo-faker who worked for Seti Ashgad on Nam Chorios, once worked on Gamorr writing love-
poems for the boars to use when courting. Wraith Squadron pilot Voort "Piggy" saBinring is a Gamorrean
with artificially-enhanced intelligence who speaks through a translator device implanted in his throat.
[SWS, COTJ, SWAJ, POT, GOF, XWWS]

Ganath
Hidden in a vast, radioactive gas cloud located near Nal Hutta, the Ganath system is completely cut off
from the rest of galactic civilization. Their isolated culture has developed more slowly than the rest of the
galaxy, and much of Ganathan technology operates on steam power. Spacers from Nal Hutta who
attempted to penetrate the gas cloud never returned. The Ganathan space fleet includes the massive steam-
powered battleship The Robida Colossus. For years the Ganath system was ruled by King Empatojayos
Brand, a Jedi knight who was rescued by the Ganathans after his ship was destroyed. Leia and Han Solo
traveled to the capital city of Ganath after they rashly flew into the gas cloud in an attempt to escape from
Boba Fett. [DE2]

Gand
Gand is a primarily gaseous planet and home to the alien species also called Gand. Gand society is
composed of pocket colonies separated by enshrouding ammonia mists, and the Gand government is a
totalitarian monarchy established centuries ago. Locating fugitives in the thick gasses is the responsibility
of Gand "findsmen," who worship the mists and use religious rituals to lead them to their targets. Gands
are covered with a hard carapace, can regenerate lost limbs, do not require much sleep, and can see in the
ultraviolet range. Names are a reflection of status on the planet -- those Gand who have achieved little are
simply called "Gand." As an individual accomplishes more, he or she earns a surname, then a first name.
Only those Gand whose fame is so great that they are known by all are allowed to refer to themselves with
pronouns. All other Gand always refer to themselves in the third person, using their "lesser" names when
they feel contrite or ashamed. Ruetsavii, a group of famous Gands, are sent by the Elders of Gand to
observe notable subjects and determine if they are worthy of referring to themselves in the first person,
when they will become janwuine.

Due to the world's unique ammonia atmosphere, some Gand must wear specialized breathing apparatus
when off-planet or suffer oxygen-damaged lungs and skin burns. Other Gand do not breathe at all, feeding
their metabolisms through food instead of respiration. These individuals speak by drawing in gasses and
expelling them through the Gand "voicebox." After Gand and its slave trade were taken over by the
Empire, the Imperials' advanced technology made the arcane techniques of the findsmen largely obsolete.
Some Gand findsmen have since found work as bounty hunters, including the notorious Zuckuss, though
others such as Rogue Squadron pilot Ooryl Qrygg have chosen nobler professions. After the Rogues
captured the planet Thyferra, Ooryl was named janwuine by the Elders of Gand, and the squadron was
invited to his homeworld for the janwuine-jika celebration. [MTS, XWRS, XWWG, XWKT, XWBW,
TBH]

Gandeal
After the Battle of Yavin, the Empire opened up a new hyperlane between Fondor and Gandeal for cargo
traffic, in order to meet the supply needs caused by the construction of the Super Star Destroyer Executor at
the Fondor yards. [SWAJ]

Gandolo IV
A barren, rocky moon located in the Outer Rim. A group of Wookiee settlers, aided by Chewbacca, were
attempting to establish a colony on the moon when they were discovered by the bounty hunter Bossk.
Bossk and his men, who were in the employ of the Imperial sector governor, abandoned their attempt to
capture the Wookiees after Han Solo disabled their ship by landing on it. [MTS]

Gandrun Two
A desert planet covered with endless sand dunes. [GG2]

Ganthel
Grandon Holleck, a former Imperial governor of Chandrila, retired to his homeworld of Ganthel after
stepping down as governor. [SWAJ]

Gantho
Located in the system of the same name, Gantho is represented by Senator Arastide in the New Republic
government. Nine years after the Battle of Endor, the New Republic conducted a full-scale investigation
into Loronar Corporation's abuses in the Gantho system. [POT]

Gap Nine
The backwater swampworld of Gap Nine is home to a reptilian alien species and an Imperial fuel ore-
processing plant. Many years ago, an unknown group came to Gap Nine and built temples dedicated to
evil. When a force of Jedi Knights arrived, they defeated the group and transformed their temples into
storehouses of knowledge. Recently, the Imperials on Gap Nine have been robbing these temples of their
priceless artifacts. [SWAJ]

Garban
Garban, home to the alien species called the Jenet, is the fourth planet in the Tau Sakar system. Garban is a
temperate world with high seasonal variance. Years ago the rapidly-reproducing Jenet wiped out most of
their natural predators on Garban, which led to overpopulation and the colonization of the other worlds in
the system. Jenet are quarrelsome, store useless items in a community junkheap, and have a massive
bureaucratic government whose job it is to remember everything they can about each Jenet citizen. After
Garban was taken over by the Empire many Jenet were forced to work as slaves in Garban's ore mines.
[GG4]

Gargon
During one of their early exploits, Han Solo and Chewbacca raided the heavily-guarded spice vaults of
Gargon. [ROJN]

Garnib
Garnib is a planet where the Empire enslaved the native population, claiming only to be "protecting the
rights" of its inhabitants. [POT]
Garos system
The Garos system, a four-day hyperspace journey from Coruscant, contains six planets: Berusa, Chaila, the
inhabited worlds Sundari and Garos IV, Regar I, and Regar II. The system lies near the Nyarikan Nebula, a
navigation hazard which has made travel to the system uncommon. [SWAJ]

Garos IV
A terrestrial planet of thick forests and mountains, Garos IV and its twin moons are located in the Garos
system with its sister planet Sundari. Due to the navigational hazard of the nearby Nyarikan Nebula, the
people of Garos IV have necessarily been independent, relying on little contact or assistance from the larger
galaxy. 4000 years ago, Garos IV and Sundari were first settled by human colonists. The two worlds
immediately began inter-system trade, since the Sundars were dependent on agricultural harvests from
Garosian farms. About 200 years ago, large numbers of Sundars began emigrating to Garos IV, settling in
Northlan in the Upper Morcur Valley. This area was the heart of Garos' agricultural and manufacturing
districts, and the Sundar immigrants began establishing new businesses and factories -- earning the
resentment of Garosians who were hurt by the new competition. A civil war between the two planets
erupted when a Garosian grain processing facility in the city of Geran was destroyed -- intentionally, some
claimed, by the Sundars. The devastating war raged on for 82 years until a truce was hammered out by
Tork Winger, Assistant Minister of Defense for Garos IV, and Tionthes Turi, a respected Sundar engineer.
Violations of the truce, such as the Whahalla Massacre, continued, but the Empire's intervention into the
conflict approximately five years before the Battle of Yavin brought a sudden, violent end to most
resistance. Since then, the Imperial presence on Garos IV has been relatively small and unobtrusive, until
the recent discovery of the planet's hibridium ore deposits. Hibridium is only found on the western
coastline of Garos' main continent, and can produce a natural cloaking effect key to the production of
military cloaking devices. Garos IV has a relatively small population of 20 million Garosians and four
million Sundars. Animal life on the planet includes flying, nocturnal crupas and wild boetays, while plant
life includes the baraka tree.

Ariana, Garos' capital city, is located on the western shore of the larger of the planet's two main continents
and is home to the distinguished University of Garos. The Imperial Headquarters building is located across
the street from the popular tavern Chado's Pub, while beneath the city lies a vast maze of subterranean
tunnels. Nearby, the forbidding Tahika Cliffs run for a hundred kilometers along the continent's western
coastline, facing the vast expanse of the Locura Ocean. The new Imperial hibridium mines are located in a
mountain range south of Ariana, situated between Mount Usca and Hargon's Hill. Forty kilometers
southeast of Ariana is the agricultural and manufacturing city of Garan, built on the Salc River. Garan sits
on the edge of the Lower Morcur Valley, a major foodstuffs-producing region, and is connected to Ariana
by the Old Currahen Highway. Over nine hundred kilometers east of Ariana on the south-central coast lies
the ancient resort city of Zila. Zila is known for its architectural diversity, and a range of stone turrets line
the waterfront facing the Cabalia Sea for nearly a kilometer. Mount Berin is located on the outskirts of
Zila.

Garos' Imperial military is commanded by General Zakar, and the world is ruled by Tork Winger, who was
appointed as the Imperial governor. Winger's residence, the Governor's Mansion, is located south of Ariana
near the edge of the Tahika Cliffs. Unbeknownst to Winger, his adopted daughter Alex is secretly a
member of the Garosian resistance, and has been fighting the Imperial presence on Garos IV for years.
Garos' underground movement, whose members also include Magir Paca and the undercover Imperial Dair
Haslip, meet in Ariana's subterranean tunnels and plan for the day the New Republic will arrive to liberate
their world. [SWAJ]

Garqi
An unimportant agricultural world of fertile plains and oceans located in a remote corner of the Outer Rim.
The mottled red and purple planet exports agricultural products, harvested by immense automated
combines, to its immediate neighbors. The planet is officially ruled by Imperial Governor Tadrin, but
Tadrin is frequently absent and entrusts Garqi to the military prefect, Mosh Barris. The world's population
is concentrated in the capital city is Pesktda, which is covered with a leafy canopy and is home to Garqi
Agricultural University. The human population of Garqi is a sparse 800,000. The planet's plant life
includes purple djorra vine, while its animal life includes the rdava-bird. When an X-wing fighter was
sighted making night flights near Pesktda several years after the Battle of Endor, several students from
Garqi University began believing that the New Republic had arrived to liberate the planet. Corran Horn,
the pilot of the X-wing, used his secret position as Mosh Barris' aide to rescue several prisoners from
Garqi's prisons, escape with them offworld, and implicate Barris as a traitor to the Empire. One of the
rescued prisoners was the Duros captain Lai Nootka, who was later sought out as a hopeful witness in the
murder trial of Tycho Celchu. [SWAJ, XWKT]

Gathus
The twenty-five man skating team from Gathus played the planet Lafra in several games of a puttie series.
Han Solo watched the final match while on a mission to Belsavis. [COTJ]

GaTir system
Located less than five hours from the Pyria system, the GaTir system contains the planet Mrisst. [XWWG]

Gaurick
A planet in the Corporate Sector, Gaurick is controlled by a religious cult led by a high priest, or mufti. Big
Bunji hired Han Solo and Chewbacca to deliver several cargoes of chak-root to the workers of Gaurick,
who had a religious objection to the substance. After a few uneventful runs, Solo and Chewbacca were met
by a waiting picket ship, which they narrowly managed to escape. [CSSB]

Gavens
The woman Akanah, who met Luke Skywalker twelve years after the Battle of Endor, was born on Gavens
in the city of Torlas to Isela Talsava Norand and Joreb Goss. The family soon moved to Lucazec, where
Joreb abandoned his wife and daughter. [SOL]

Gbu
Gbu is an extremely high-gravity planet and home to the alien species known as the Veubgri. Each Veubg
is large and stocky, with six legs and long tendrils used as manipulative appendages. Before Leia Organa
Solo visited Munto Codru she and her New Republic delegation met with representatives from the Veubgri
above Gbu. The meeting was held on an orbiting satellite to avoid the negative effects of Gbu's gravity on
human physiologies. [CS]

Geedon V
Located in the system of the same name, Geedon V is the site of a former pirate base. Gallandro, the famed
gunman, single-handedly took over this pirate's nest during one of his early exploits. Years later, a food-
supply convoy of Imperial corvettes was destroyed in the Geedon system by the Alliance. Rebel pilots
used captured ships from Overlord Ghorin during the attack, to be used in a later attempt to discredit
Ghorin in the eyes of the Empire.[HSLL, FP]

Gelgelar
A backwater world located in the system of the same name, Gelgelar has no Imperial presence. The Twi'lek
known as Loh'khar the Finder arranged for transport from Kelada to Gelgelar for some Alliance operatives.
[SWAJ]

Gelviddis Cluster
An atypical type of sand is located on a world in the Gelviddis Cluster. The unique composition of this
sand allows Jedi to easily form it into familiar shapes and images through the use of the Force. [COTJ]

Generis
Located in the Outer Rim in the Atrivis sector, Generis was the site of the New Republic's Outer Rim comm
center. While the New Republic fleet was battling Warlord Zsinj three years after Endor, Wing Commander
Varth's starfighters were moved from Generis to a new staging area at Folor. Two years later, after a fierce
battle, Grand Admiral Thrawn's clone forces captured the planet, including the comm center and most of
the fleet supply depots. General Kryll and pilot Pash Cracken were able to evacuate Travia Chan and her
people during the New Republic's retreat. [LC, XWBW]

Gentes
Located in the remote Anoat system, Gentes is the homeworld of the pig-like Ugnaughts. The Ugnaughts
lived in primitive colonies on Gentes' less-than-hospitable surface until most left the planet to work at
Cloud City on Bespin. [MTS]

Geran
Located in the Mneon system, Geran is the homeworld of a near-human alien species. The inhabitants of
Geran have bluish skin and need trace amounts of hydron-three added to their breathing air in order to
survive while away from their home planet. Their religious system involves a belief in the Sky Seraphs.
Animal life on Geran includes the flying reptile known as the shell-bat. Sergeant Doallyn, one of Jabba the
Hutt's hunters, was a native of Geran. [TFJP]

Gerbaud 2
Located in the Sepan system, Gerbaud 2 was the site at which Admiral Harkov attempted to resupply his
TIE Advanced squadrons during a rendezvous with the escort carrier Tropsobor following the Battle of
Hoth. The transfer operation was attacked by a united force from the nearby planets of Ripoblus and
Dimok. [TSC]

Gerrard V
Prior to the Battle of Yavin, segments of the Gerrard military staged a Rebel uprising in the planet's main
city of Harazod. The uprising was brutally suppressed with orbital bombings from the Star Destroyers
Adjudicator and Relentless. At the time, the planet was ruled by Governor Dannal and represented in the
Imperial Senate by Senator Chelo. [SWAJ]

Gerrenthum
The location of a small Rebel Alliance cell, disguised as an accountant's office in a Gerrenthum city. [GG2]

Ghorman
Ghorman is located in the system of the same name in the Sern sector near the Core Worlds, and was the
site of the infamous Ghorman Massacre, an early atrocity committed by the Empire. During a peaceful
anti-tax demonstration, a warship sent to collect the taxes landed on top of the protesters -- killing and
injuring hundreds. Tarkin, the warship's captain, was promoted to Moff for this action. The Ghorman
Massacre was commemorated every year on its anniversary by those opposed to Palpatine's New Order,
and it convinced Bail Organa of Alderaan to join the cause of the Rebellion. Years later, when an Imperial
base on Ghorman was being enlarged, an Alliance attack on a vital supply convoy delayed the base
expansion for over a year. [JS, DA, FP]

Gla Soocha
(see Da Soocha)

Glakka
Years ago, Jabba the Hutt and the Chevin criminal Ephant Mon were partners in a gunrunning operation on
an ice-covered moon of Glakka. The pair planned to steal an Imperial weapons cache and resell it for a
profit, but were ambushed by an Imperial squad. They survived the attack but almost died during the
subzero night, when Jabba kept Ephant Mon alive by covering him in the folds of his sluglike body. The
pair was rescued in the morning, but Ephant Mon remained grateful to Jabba for saving his life. [TFJP]

Glottal
Glottal, the homeworld of the alien species known as Glottalphibs, is a hot, humid world of swamps,
lilypad-covered ponds and dark forests. Glottalphibs are scaly yellow-green aliens with long snouts filled
with teeth. Due to their gills, `Phibs can live in both water and air, and they radiate no detectable body
heat. They can also breathe fire, shooting it from their mouths as a weapon, and are known to carry snub-
nosed hand weapons called swamp-stunners. Their hides are resistant to blaster fire -- the most effective
way to kill a `Phib is to shoot it in the mouth. They are known for their persistence and love of shiny
objects. Favorite foods of `Phibs include parfue gnats, caver eggs, Eilnian sweet flies, and watumba bats,
which are hosts to many types of insects but which can kill a Glottalphib in seconds by consuming body
fire. The most famous `Phib is the crimelord Nandreeson, who operates out of Skip 6 in Smuggler's Run.
Thirteen years after the Battle of Endor, Lando Calrissian was captured by Nandreeson and nearly killed
until rescued by Han Solo and Chewbacca. [NR]

Glythe sector
The Glythe sector contains the planet Valrar, the location of an Imperial base. [DFR]

Gmar Askilon
The fourth documented sighting of the mysterious "ghost ship" called the Teljkon vagabond was in deep
space near the star Gmar Askilon. It was here that a New Republic task force intercepted the vagabond; a
team consisting of Lando Calrissian, Lobot, and the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO were able to board the ship
and were whisked away when it suddenly entered hyperspace. [BTS]

Gobindi
Gobindi is the fifth planet in the system of the same name, sharing the system with eleven other planets. It
is almost entirely covered with thick, humid jungles. The sole city is Mah Dala, composed of massive, flat-
topped ziggurats connected by intricate bridges suspended nearly three hundred meters above the jungle
floor. The tops of the ziggurats contain chambers and passageways, but the bases are mostly solid rock.
The Mah Dala Infirmary, built atop the largest ziggurat, is one of the finest medical facilities in its region of
space. The planet's original inhabitants, the Gobindi, were wiped out generations ago by a plague, and built
the ziggurats to prevent the viruses from ever escaping again. The Empire opened the planet to
colonization several years before the Battle of Yavin -- since the world lay close to several hyperspace
lanes, many different species settled there. The Empire also made the Mah Dala Infirmary the base of
operations for the Imperial Biological Weapons Department, publicly known as the Biological "Welfare"
Department. Six months after Yavin, the Empire initiated a blockade of the entire system, trapping Wedge
Antilles and several other Alliance operatives. At the same time, Zak and Tash Arranda managed to
uncover a plot (phase three of Project Starscream) to infect the planet's population and turn them into viral
blobs -- grossly-mutated plague carriers. [GOF]

Goelitz
Goelitz was once involved in an ancient feud with the planet Ylix, located a few systems away. After much
fighting, Goelitz was defeated by members of the Ylix militia, including the infamous gunman Gallandro.
[CSSB]

Golkus
Golkus is on nearly a straight line between Coruscant and Carratos. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor,
the woman Akanah stopped on Golkus after departing from Carratos in her Verpine Adventurer. While
there, she contacted a smuggling tech who altered her ship's transponder to broadcast false ID profiles. She
then left to meet with Luke Skywalker on Coruscant. [SOL]

Gorbah
Imperial forces trying to conquer Gorbah suffered heavy losses from four hidden fighter bases attacking in
a "space-snipe" defense. When the Empire eventually triumphed, the fighters abandoned their secret
outposts and fled the system. [SWAJ]

Gosfambling
The planet is represented by Senator C-Gosf in the New Republic government. According to Gosfambling
culture, a person who has tried for a position of power and lost can never again hold any type of office.
[NR]

Gowdawl
The starliner Star Morning, owned by the religious Fallanassi order, left Motexx a few weeks before the
Battle of Endor with a full cargo, bound for Gowdawl under a charter license. The liner then disappeared
for three hundred days, eventually showing up at Arat Fraca with empty cargo holds. [SOL]

Gra Ploven
Gra Ploven is the homeworld of the aquatic alien species known as Ploven, who are referred to
disparagingly as "finbacks" by Imperial forces. When the Ploven refused to pay protection money to Grand
Moff Dureya during the waning days of the Empire, the Star Destroyer Forger created superhot steam
clouds which killed 200,000 Ploven in three coastal cities. [SOL]

Gradilis sector
The Gradilis sector is located on the boundary between Wild Space and the Unknown regions, and contains
the Nirauan system. [SOTP]

Grakouine
The location of an Alliance storage base. After Boba Fett was supposedly killed by the Sarlacc, the
Alliance towed Fett's abandoned Slave I to Grakouine. It remained there for years until Fett repurchased
his ship through legitimate channels. [DESB]

Grandeel
Major Reskik, commander of the Imperial Salvage Station deployed to analyze the first Death Star's
wreckage, grew up on a fish farm on Grandeel. [GG2]

Granna
Once an Imperial world, Granna is the home planet of the alien Grannans. Plat Mallar, who participated in
the Battle of N'zoth, was a Grannan pilot who was born on Polneye. [TT]

Gravan Seven
Gravan Seven, in the uninhabited Gravan system, is a desolate world with a dark atmosphere polluted by
the thick smoke spewed from its many active volcanoes. Approximately four years after the Battle of
Endor, an Imperial slicer created a false log in New Republic records stating that the Gravan system had
been recently secured by New Republic Intelligence. The inaccurate log caused Talon Squadron to fly
directly into an ambush on Gravan Seven. More than two squadrons of TIE interceptors surprised the X-
wings and destroyed them all, save for the one flown by squadron leader Lieutenant Myn Donos.
Following the tragedy Talon Squadron was decommissioned and Myn Donos joined Wraith Squadron.
[XWWS]

Greater Galam
The fifth planet in the remote Lan system, Greater Galam is a gas giant with sixteen moons. [SWAJ]

Greater Plooriod Cluster

The Greater Plooriod Cluster (located within the Greater Plooriod sector) is a large area containing the
planet Corsin, which was the site of prestigious swoop races until its occupation by the Empire. The
Plooriods also contain several vital agricultural worlds, and the Cluster had been the primary grain supplier
to the Empire in the sector. The entire Cluster was formerly ruled by the ruthless Overlord Ghorin.
Following the Battle of Yavin, Ghorin agreed to supply the Alliance with badly-needed grain, but double-
crossed the Rebels by providing them with tainted food cargoes. The Alliance responded by making it
appear as if Ghorin was cheating the Empire, and Darth Vader personally executed the Overlord for his
supposed treason on the planet Plooriod III. The sector also contains Imperial Drydock IV, from which
several Interdictor cruisers departed to join the Outer Rim Imperial fleet. [MTS, FP]

Greeb-Streebling Cluster
A cluster located in the Ninth Quadrant, near the Senex and Juvex sectors. [COTJ]

G'rho
The outpost planet on which Dev Sibwarra spent his youth. This was apparently one of the first planets
attacked by the Ssi-ruuk. [TAB]

Grizmallt
A heavily-populated world in the Galactic Core. Grizmallt was one of many planets that surrendered to
Admiral Ackbar and the Alliance fleet in the years following the Battle of Endor. [DESB]

Gromas system
Several small moons in the Gromas system contain the rare metal known as Phrik. The Empire constructed
a mining facility on one moon, to produce Phrik for use in armoring the Dark Troopers. Following the
Battle of Yavin, Alliance agent Kyle Katarn completely destroyed this facility with a sequencer charge.

Gyndine
Gyndine is an Imperial territorial administrative world, which has the nearby Circarpous system under its
jurisdiction. It is ruled by the obese Imperial governor Bin Essada. Cargo ships are known to make
deliveries of denta beans to Gyndine's grain market, and animal life on the planet includes the dangerous
ethersquid. During the Imperial Mutiny six years after the Battle of Endor, Gyndine protected itself by
becoming a "Fortress World," guarded by planetary shields and a fleet of thirty defensive ships. [SME,
SWAJ, DESB]

Habassa II
One of the likely homeworlds of the alien Habassa race, who joined the Alliance following the Battle of
Yavin. A transfer of B-wings to the cruiser Cathleen near Habassa II was unsuccessfully attacked by
Imperial fighters. [FP]

Hadar sector
The Hadar sector contains the planet Turkana. Alliance pilot Keyan Farlander's first mission was in a
quadrant of the Hadar sector. [FP]

Hakassi
The fleet carrier Intrepid, flagship of the New Republic's Fifth Fleet, was constructed at the shipyards of
Hakassi some twelve years after the Battle of Endor. [BTS]

Halanit
A frozen, ice-covered moon orbiting a gas giant planet, Halanit was once the site of a small colony of
10,000 inhabitants started during the last days of the Old Republic. Geothermal heat lessened the subzero
temperatures and created bubbling mineral springs, and the colony was built into the facing walls of a huge
chasm. The rift was capped by a double layer of transparisteel; its base was filled with steaming water fed
by waterfalls which supported fish farms. Several arching bridges connected the two sides. After the
members of Rogue Squadron resigned from the New Republic military approximately three years after the
Battle of Endor, Corran Horn and Ooryl Qrygg brought a hijacked Thyferran bacta convoy to Halanit to
treat a mysterious viral outbreak. Ysanne Isard then ordered the colony's destruction with TIE fighters and
bombers. Everyone on Halanit was believed killed. [XWBW]

Haldeen sector
The terrorist Earnst Kamiel, leader of the radical Justice Action Network (JAN), was extradited to the
Haldeen sector for Imperial trial after being captured on Eldrooden. [SWAJ]

Halmad
Located in the system of the same name in the Outer Rim, Halmad is a pleasant world of forests, rivers and
lakes orbited by many moons. The system also contains a large asteroid belt, formed eons ago by the
destruction of one of the system's outer planets. Halmad sits at the nexus of several hyperspace routes near
Warlord Zsinj's territory, and has become an active trading center in recent years. The planet was once a
mining outpost that drew ore from the moons, the asteroid belt, and the planetary surface, but most large-
scale mining ceased about a century ago. A few government mining facilities are still active in the asteroid
belt, however, including Station 17. Halmad's capital city is Hullis, which contains a number of taverns
including Ola's and Rojio's. An Imperial military base, Victory Base, is located a short distance from Hullis
and was originally constructed to defend the world from the Empire. Once Halmad was conquered,
Imperial forces occupied Victory Base for their own purposes. The west coast of Hullis' continent is dotted
with sensor stations, which were recently installed to replace a string of older sensor stations located on the
western islands. Other cities on Halmad include the port town of Fellon, which features a luxury marina.
The planet is served by a global information service and features a planetary defense satellite network.
Indigenous plant life on Halmad includes huge floating leaf-pads and riverbank grasses that drink water
with their leaves. Animal life includes human-sized amphibian creatures and large sport game that are
hunted by the country residents. There are thirty-two days in the local monthly calendar. One of Halmad's
most recognizable exports is an expensive grain alcohol called Halmad Prime.

Approximately four years after the Battle of Endor, the pilots of Wraith Squadron decided to pose as pirates
in order to work their way into Warlord Zsinj's organization. They used the Halmad system as their home
base, taking an abandoned mining site -- a spherical nickel-iron asteroid known Tonheld Mining
Corporation Site A3 -- and renaming it Hawkbat Base. The base was built in a side tunnel just off the
central drilling shaft and contained a hangar and a section of stacked cargo/habitation modules nicknamed
"the Trench." In their first raid on Halmad the Wraiths stole five TIE interceptors from Victory Base. Later
sorties included a hit on the port warehouse district in Fellon, a strafing run on the Fellon marina, and a
bank robbery at a money exchange site in Hullis. In response, the government of Halmad constructed two
starfighter bases -- one just south of Fellon and one far east of Hullis. When the Wraiths tried to destroy
these bases, they were ambushed by Warlord Zsinj's fighters and his Super Star Destroyer Iron Fist. As a
result of the fighting, Wraith Squadron pilot Ton Phanan was killed. [XWIF]

Halowan
The location of a top-secret Imperial data storage net and a trans-system data storage library. Alliance
historian Voren Na'al infiltrated the Imperial data net on Halowan by posing as an agent for Moff Lorin of
Fakir sector. [MTS]

Halpat
The location of a New Republic field supply and logistics center. During the crisis in the Koornacht
Cluster twelve years after the Battle of Endor, New Republic general Etahn A'baht requested that a new
center be established, closer to Koornacht than the Halpat facility, to accommodate potential casualties.
[SOL]

Halthor sector
The territory of Imperial Moff Gergis, located near the Noonian sector. [SWAJ]

Hapes Consortium
A cluster of sixty-three stars with sixty-three inhabited planets, the Hapes Consortium is an old and very
wealthy society that had almost no contact with the rest of the galaxy for three thousand years.
Encompassing hundreds of different governments and thousands of cultures, the cluster was first settled
thousands of years ago by a pirate group called the Lorell Raiders, who seized beautiful women from their
victims to serve as their mates. The male descendants continued to serve as pirates for generations, until
their forces were eliminated by the Jedi Knights. The women then took control of the cluster, and the
inherited leadership title of Queen Mother began. The first queen mother began construction on the Star
Home, an enormous castle-like spaceship, four thousand years ago.

The worlds of the Hapes cluster include Arabanth, Charubah, Dreena, Gallinore, Reboam, Selab, Terephon,
Ut, Maires, Vergill, and Hapes itself, which is orbited by seven moons. The Fountain Palace on the planet
Hapes is home to the Hapan royal family, who stay in Reef Fortress in emergencies. Located on an isolated
island accessible only by boat, Reef Fortress is a secure stronghold of stone parapets entered through a cave
grotto and protected by night perimeter shields. The Dragon’s Teeth, jagged rocks jutting from Hapes’
blue-green ocean, are a nearby landmark. Frequent encounters with star pirates occur on the Hapes
Consortium's borders, partially because many young Hapan males turn to piracy as a means of rebellion.
The Hapan naval space forces include the feared Battle Dragon and the newer Hapes Nova-class battle
cruisers; for use on oceans, Hapes manufactures the Hapan Water Dragon.

Approximately three years after the Battle of Endor, following the New Republic's capture of Coruscant,
Princess Leia Organa opened negotiations with Hapes -- her government was in dire need of Hapan credits
due to the recent fighting and the outbreak of the Krytos virus. About a year later Queen Mother Ta'a
Chume, matriarch of the Royal House of Hapes, officially broke the cluster's long isolation by offering her
son Prince Isolder to Leia in marriage. Isolder later married Teneniel Djo of Dathomir, who bore a
daughter, Tenel Ka. Nineteen years after the Battle of Endor, Tenel Ka returned to Hapes after losing her
arm in a training accident at Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Academy. Jacen and Jaina Solo and their friend
Lowbacca visited Tenel Ka, and the group got caught up in Ambassador Yfra’s plot to overthrow the Hapan
monarchy. After a bomb went off in the Fountain Palace, the group retreated to Reef Fortress, where Yfra
tried to have them eliminated by steering their wavespeeder into a patch of carnivorous seaweed and
ordering an attack on the Fortress by deadly Bartokk assassins. Some time later, Tenel Ka's parents sent her
the Hapan ship Rock Dragon as a gift; it is a Hapan tradition for ships to be named "dragon." [COPL,

Harrin Trade Corridor

The Harrin Trade Corridor is linked to the Enarc Run via the recently-discovered Kira Run. [SWAJ]

Hast
Site of the secret Hast shipyards, where the Star Destroyers Liberator and Emancipator (captured during
the Battle of Endor) were being refurbished for active New Republic duty. Imperial spies discovered the
shipyards soon after Endor, and the resulting attack severely damaged both Star Destroyers and ruined a
large portion of the Alliance fleet. This devastating attack put the New Republic's war effort several years
behind schedule. [DESB]

Hatawa sector
During the Empire's reign, the Black Sword Command was charged with the defense of Praxlis, Corridan,
and the entire Kokash, Hatawa, and Farlax sectors. There are more than two hundred inhabited worlds in
the combined Hatawa and Farlax sectors -- a third of the region is now aligned with the New Republic
while another third is uninhabited or unclaimed. [BTS]

Hathrox III
1,200 years ago, a terrorist organization unleashed a plague on Hathrox III for which they claimed to have a
"foolproof" anti-virus. Unfortunately, the plague mutated and wiped out the planet's entire population.
Centuries later, an excavation team attempted to retrieve records from Hathrox III but the plague killed the
team, the crew of their ship, and the staff of the quarantine facility to which they were taken upon showing
signs of illness. Hathrox III is currently listed in the planetary registry as a Standing Hazard. [POT]

Haverling
Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, during an Imperial altercation off Morishim, General Garm Bel Iblis
ordered two star cruisers to arrive from Haverling. [SOTP]

Hefi
The location of a secret retreat for Death Star designer Bevel Lemelisk. According to Alliance historian
Voren Na'al, Lemelisk hid on Hefi after the first Death Star's destruction until discovered by Imperial
agents, though this story appears to be inaccurate. [MTS, DS]

Hensara system
Located in the Rachuk sector, the Hensara system's third planet is a small jungle world called Hensara III.
Some three years after the Battle of Endor, Alliance operative Dirk Harkness and his Black Curs were
forced to crash their ship in one of Hensara III's lakes after running into the Strike cruiser Havoc. The
Havoc landed AT-AT and AT-ST walkers, along with two platoons of stormtroopers, to find and eliminate
them. Harkness and his group were rescued by Rogue Squadron, who easily wiped out Imperial resistance
without suffering any casualties in the battle later called the Rout of Hensara. [XWRS]

Hesperidium
A resort moon in the Coruscant system, Hesperidium boasts luxurious accommodations and ornate
architecture, including fountains, fruit trees, singing warbleflowers, and "pleasure-domes," some of which
were known to use synthdroids. During his reign, Emperor Palpatine kept a home on Hesperidium to house
his concubines. In recent years, several villas on the moon have been maintained by the New Republic to
house visiting diplomats. Nine years after the Battle of Endor, Leia Organa Solo departed from
Hesperidium on her way to the Meridian sector. [POT]

H'gaard
One of the two largest moons orbiting the planet Bespin. H'gaard and its smaller sister moon Drudonna are
known together as The Twins. The moon is only five kilometers in diameter. Both are unremarkable ice
satellites, and appear as large green spheres in Bespin's night sky. [GG2]
Hijarna
Hijarna is a deserted, battle-scarred planet first discovered by the Fifth Alderaanian Expedition. Atop a
bluff sits the crumbling fortress of Hijarna, made of hard black stone and probably abandoned a thousand
years before its discovery. The fortress overlooks a plain crossed with deep ravines and marked with
indications of former devastation. It is unclear whether the fortress was built to defend against this
destruction, or was somehow the cause of it. Five years after the Battle of Endor, Talon Karrde called a
meeting with his fellow smugglers in Hijarna's fortress to discuss actions against Grand Admiral Thrawn.
Ten years later, Battle of Endor, Mara Jade found a fortress very similar to the Hijarna structure on the
planet Nirauan. [LC, SOTP]

Hindasar system
The infamous criminal known as Dr. Evazan set up a "medical" practice in the Hindasar system after
escaping from the prison world of Delrian. Luke Skywalker and Ben Kenobi had a confrontation with Dr.
Evazan in the Mos Eisley cantina on Tatooine. [MTS]

Hishyim
Grand Admiral Thrawn provided the ship thief Niles Ferrier with an assault shuttle from the Hishyim patrol
station so he could present it to Talon Karrde to establish credibility. [LC]

H'ken system
Located in the Corva sector of the Outer Rim, the H'ken system contains a 20-kilometer wide asteroid belt.
After the Battle of Endor, a squadron of X-wings was training in the belt when they were wiped out by an
Imperial warlord's ships. [SWAJ]

H'nemthe
A planet with three moons and home to the alien species also called H'nemthe. During the season of trine,
all three of the planet's moons give off their light. On average, there are twenty H'nemthe males for every
female -- after mating, the male is gutted with the female's razor-sharp tongue. Virgin females are not often
allowed to leave the planet, and are permitted to eat only fruits and vegetables. Plant life on H'nemthe
includes the carnivorous m'iiyoom nightlily, a white flower which blooms during the season of trine.
[TFTC]

Hollan D1 sector
A vital Imperial storage area was destroyed in the Hollan D1 sector by the Alliance following the Battle of
Yavin. Rebel pilots used captured ships from Overlord Ghorin in the attack, in an attempt to discredit
Ghorin in the eyes of the Empire. [FP]

Hollastin Seven
Located in the Hollastin system, Hollastin Seven is the base of operations for the crimelord Glorga the
Hutt. During the Second Hollastin Insurrection, Hollastin Seven's capital city was besieged by native
guerrillas. A group of smugglers tried to use the chaos to overthrow Glorga, but they were stopped by the
Hutt's henchmen. [SWAJ]

Hologram Fun World

An enormous city built inside a vast transparent dome, Hologram Fun World sits in interstellar space far
from any planet. The dome is about forty kilometers long and fifty kilometers high, and contains artificial
oceans and forest-covered mountains, while docking airlocks line its exterior rim. The entire park is filled
with holographic rides and characters, including a phantom rancor monster and a sun that rises and sets
against the artificial sky. Buildings in Fun World follow many varied architectural styles. Attractions
include the Hall of Reflection, the Star Chamber, the Sweetsand Lagoon, the Volcano Slide, the Anywhere
Room, and the Maker's Workshop. At the center of Fun World is the ten-story administration building and
a visitors lodge called the Gravity Well. During the time following the Battle of Yavin, the park's baron
administrator was a man named Danna Fajji. Seven months after Yavin, Zak and Tash Arranda came to
Hologram Fun World and uncovered a secret project -- the Nightmare Machine -- that was designed to
exploit its victims' darkest fears. Lando Calrissian helped the Arrandas foil the plot. [GOF]

Honoghr
A planet with three moons in the Honoghr system (near Fwillsving and Kessel), and the homeworld of the
Noghri. Honoghr is a devastated world; almost all of its plant and animal life has been destroyed. From
space it appears to be uniformly brown, broken only by the occasional blue lake and the green area known
as the Clean Lands. The main city of Nystao is located in the center of the Clean Lands -- it is home to the
Common Room of Honoghr within the Grand Dukha and is the only city with adequate spacecraft repair
facilities. The Noghri people are divided into clans (including the clans Kihm'bar, Bakh'tor, Eikh'mir, and
Hakh'khar) that have had a long history of bloody rivalry. Each clan is ruled by a dynast, and female
maitrakhs lead family or subclan units. In the center of each village is a cylindrical building called a dukha,
constructed of polished wood encircled by a metal band and containing the clan High Seat and a
genealogical chart carved into one wall. The ancient Noghri laws of discovery and judgement involve a
period of public shaming in the main city by order of the clan dynasts. The village of clan Kihm'bar is at
the edge of the Clean Lands and is ruled by Dynast Ir'khaim. Animal life on Honoghr includes the
carnivorous stava.

During the Clone Wars, a battle between two starships resulted in one of them crashing on Honoghr's
surface, setting off catastrophic earthquakes and releasing toxic chemicals into the atmosphere. Darth
Vader came to offer Imperial assistance, and teams of deadly Noghri commandos joined the Empire in
return for Emperor's help in restoring their world. Noghri clans and their respective dukhas were relocated
to the Clean Lands, and Imperial decontamination droids set to work apparently renewing the soil. In
actuality, the Empire had seeded Honoghr with a hybrid form of kholm-grass that inhibited all other plant
growth, keeping the planet lifeless for generations and forcing the Noghri to remain in the Emperor's debt.
Before Vader's death, he named Grand Admiral Thrawn his designated heir and ruler of the Noghri
commandos. The Noghri renounced their service to Thrawn after Leia Organa Solo showed them the
extent of the Empire's treachery, and they began to grow new crops along the banks of a hidden river
running between two jagged cliffs. After Thrawn's defeat the New Republic tried to restore the world, but
their efforts were largely unsuccessful. Many Noghri eventually left Honoghr and settled on the planet
Wayland. [HTTE, DFR, LC, SOTP]

Horuz system
The Horuz system, formerly containing the prison planet Despayre, is located in an isolated corner of the
Outer Rim far from any hyperspace lanes. The first Death Star was built in the Horuz system above
Despayre, and upon completion the battle station utterly destroyed the planet. The Empire used the master
encrypt code ILKO to transmit data from Coruscant to Horuz during this construction. [LC, MTS, DSTC]

Hosk
A moon orbiting Kalarba in the remote Kalarba system. One hemisphere of the moon is covered by the
towers and outlying buildings of Hosk Station. Hosk Station's central city is domed, and all energy
weapons are ostensibly surrendered upon arrival. Sites in the city include Trillka's Repair Shop and the
Hosk Droid Arena, and the station is patrolled by automated security forces. A snake-like Hulgren has been
seen living in the station's lower levels. R2-D2 and C-3PO helped avert the destruction of Hosk Station
when its power core was ruptured by the criminal Olag Greck. [D]

Hosrel XI
The location of a remote navy base, where a squadron of pilots had a brief battle with Lehesu of the
Oswaft. [LCSC]

Hoth
Hoth, the sixth planet in the system of the same name, is an icy, unpopulated world covered with glacier
fields, circling a blue-white sun. The isolated world is not even recorded on some standard navigational
charts. Hoth is orbited by three moons, and receives a great deal of meteor activity. The planet's daylight
temperature averages -32 degrees centigrade even in the temperate equatorial zone, and can plunge another
20-30 degrees at night. Hoth's native lifeforms include the common tauntaun and its natural predator, the
Wampa ice creature. The many species of tauntauns eat fungus growing in cave grottoes and beneath the
snow layer, and cluster together in caves during Hoth's bitter night to keep from freezing. Sights on Hoth
include spectacular frozen ice geysers, and a 1000-kilometer long chasm in the planet's southern
hemisphere. The bottom of this chasm is filled with water, kept in its liquid state due to the immense
pressure of the two opposing cliff faces. Several glaciers, slowly sliding into the chasm's depths, harbor
algae and burrowing, algae-feeding ice worms.

Following the Battle of Yavin, Luke Skywalker crashed on Hoth in an effort to escape pursuing TIE
fighters. He encountered two lifelike androids, programmed to look and act like an Imperial governor and
his daughter, who had been hiding on Hoth in order to escape from the Empire. Later, the pirate Raskar
captured Skywalker and Han Solo above Hoth, and Solo flew the group to a deep chasm on the planet's
equator. There they discovered a hidden cave filled with rare lumni-spice lichens guarded by a fire-
breathing dragon-slug, and barely escaped with their lives. After the Alliance fully evacuated from Yavin 4,
they established their main base on Hoth (in a series of ice caves at the northern edge of the temperate
zone), christening it Echo Base. The Alliance encountered trouble adapting their equipment to Hoth's
extreme temperatures, and were also attacked by the Wampa ice creatures. The base was later discovered
by an Imperial probe droid, leading to the defeat of the Rebels by Darth Vader's forces in the engagement
now known as the Battle of Hoth. During the fighting, the smuggler Dash Rendar flew a spare
snowspeeder and downed an Imperial walker before escaping in his ship Outrider. Eight years after the
Battle of Endor, a big-game hunting expedition traveled to Hoth, intending to hunt Wampas for their
valuable pelts. When the Wampas destroyed the party's landing ship, the group took shelter in the
abandoned Echo Base. Luke Skywalker and Callista attempted to rescue the hunters, but the entire
expedition was killed by the ice creatures, and Skywalker and Callista barely escaped with their lives.
Twelve years after Endor, an Obroan Institute archaeological team led by Dr. Eckels conducted an
excavation on Hoth. [ESB, ESBN, MTS, GG2, CSW, DS, ISWU, SOL, SOTE]

Hoth system
The remote Hoth system is located in the Ison Corridor on the fringes of civilized space, and its sixth planet
is a frozen, unpopulated world also known as Hoth. The system also contains a dangerous asteroid belt,
formed billions of years ago by the collision of two planets. Within the belt there is rumored to be a pure
platinum asteroid, called "Kerane's Folly" after the prospector who discovered it, left to verify its purity,
then could never find it again. On some asteroids grow delicate crystal ferns, which could be a primitive
silicon-based lifeform.

Over the centuries many smugglers and criminals have built bases in some of the larger asteroids, including
the notorious pirate Clabburn, who placed huge space slugs to guard his hideouts. After the Battle of Hoth,
the Millennium Falcon tried to escape pursuing Star Destroyers in the asteroid field and was nearly
swallowed by a space slug. Eight years after the Battle of Endor, Durga the Hutt began mining the
asteroids in the Hoth Asteroid Belt for raw materials used in the construction of the Darksaber weapon.
The Darksaber was discovered in the asteroid field by New Republic forces, and the weapon was utterly
destroyed when it was crushed between two planetoids. [ESB, DS, ISWU]

Hrasskis
Hrasskis is the homeworld of the alien species also called Hrasskis, who have large, veined air sacs on their
backs. The planet is represented by the belligerent politician Cion Marook in the New Republic Senate.
[BTS, SOL]

Hydian Way
The Hydian Way is a major trade route that runs from the Mid-Core out to the Corporate Sector. It
intersects the Perlemian Trade Route in the Bormea sector at the planet Brentaal. 3000 years ago, the
legendary pioneer woman Freia Kallea helped explore Brentaal space and single-handedly blazed the
Hydian Way. [SWAJ]

I-Sector
Nine years after the Battle of Endor, I-Sector was under the control of Moff Shargael. [POT]

Iast system
The possible location of To-phalion Base and the top-secret Vorknkx Project, where the Empire developed
an experimental cloaking device after the Battle of Hoth. [TSC]

Ibanjji
Imperial commander Titus Klev, at the age of 13, attended a motivational camp on the harsh world of
Ibanjji as part of his Imperial Sub-Adult Group training. While there, he saved an instructor from a pack of
wild varns. [DESB]

Ihopek
The Imperial Star Destroyer Gnisnal was demolished by internal explosions during the Imperial evacuation
of Narth and Ihopek following the Battle of Endor. The wreckage later provided the New Republic with a
complete copy of the Imperial Order of Battle. [BTS]

Ikon
A red dwarf star orbited by an asteroid belt. After the Battle of Yavin, Princess Leia Organa traveled to the
asteroid belt to help Rebel sympathizers install a turbolaser. [ROC]

ILC-905
(see Prildaz)

Illodia
Illodia and its colony worlds are located in the sector of the same name. The planet is ruled by an oligarchy
of five clans and it has twenty scattered colonies. When Emperor Palpatine took command of the sector, he
claimed to be "liberating" the colonies -- in truth, he taxed them even more heavily than before. Illodia has
been represented in the Senate by a member of the Beruss clan for millennia; the current representative is
Doman Beruss, an old friend of Bail Organa and Leia Organa. Doman Beruss' son, Avan Beruss, became a
member of Rogue Squadron approximately six months after the Battle of Endor. The Corellian Berusses
are a separate branch of the Illodian family who reside on Corellia -- one of their number (Avan Beruss'
great aunt) is also named Doman Beruss and represents Corellia on the New Republic's Provisional
Council. Both of the Doman Berusses are named after an old Illodian ancestor. Generations ago, the
opulent clan estate Exmoor was built in Republic City on Coruscant to house the Beruss clan. The
language of Illodia is Illodian sibilant. [TT, XW]

Illoud system
Sullustan commander Huoba Neva smashed an Imperially-supported insurgency in the Illoud system,
earning high praise from Alliance command. [DESB]

Indikir
Located in the Bseto system, the uninhabited planet Indikir is the second planet orbiting the white dwarf
star Bseto. [SWAJ]
Indobok
An ash-covered moon orbiting the planet Kalarba in the remote Kalarba system. Indobok's canyons and
mountains are frequently hit with powerful ash storms. The planet is home to the alien species called the
B'rknaa -- creatures of ash and stone who are animated through the life force of Indobok's energy crystals.
The B'rknaa share a group mind, and can join their bodies together to create larger B'rknaa. In fact, the
entire Indobok moon is composed of a single adult B'rknaa. [D]

Indu San
Indu San is the only habitable planet in the system of the same name of the Outer Rim. Its forests, plains,
and mountains are separated by oceans, and the planet is a major exporter of luxurious items carved from
marbled stone. The low, widely-spaced layout of the smooth stone buildings gives Indu San cities an
uncluttered appearance, and the world's 1.4 billion human citizens were traditionally ruled by a
Congressional Council. They received an Imperial governor under the Empire, but Governor Stant
Rosswell cut favors for many Indu San business leaders and remained popular. Just prior to the Battle of
Endor, Rosswell was replaced by the hard-line Governor Ekam Ouwray, who, when faced with a local
revolt and a small New Republic battle fleet, evacuated all Imperial forces and fled the system. Some time
after Endor, while the Indu San Council was debating whether to join the New Republic, Chief Councilor
Shek Barayel was assassinated at Council Hall by Imperial supporters hoping to pin the blame on the New
Republic. [SWAJ]

Ingo
Shalla Nelprin, a member of the New Republic's Wraith Squadron, was born on Ingo after her father faked
his own death and settled on the planet to escape detection. [XWIF]

Insta-7
The notorious Gotal bounty hunter Glott is wanted on Insta-7 and several other systems. [ROC]

Intuci
Years ago, the planet Intuci was raided by the armies of the war criminal Sonopo Bomoor. Bomoor's forces
sacked the city of Bonaka Nueno, and arranged a massacre of its citizens in Bonaka Square. Among the
victims was the family of Kosh Kurp, who later became the Empire's leading specialist on offensive
weaponry. Kurp had his revenge on Bomoor during an attempted business deal with Jabba the Hutt. [JTH]

Iphigin
A bluish-red planet located in the Core Worlds. Iphigin is the main transfer point for its sector and two
neighboring sectors, and is constantly busy with departing and arriving cargo traffic. The planet's capital
city has a north spaceport complex, and the world is defended by a Golan I orbital defense platform. The
natives are called Iphigini; they often sport braided lip-beards. Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, Luke
Skywalker and Han Solo attended a conference between rival Diamala and Ishori factions on Iphigin. The
planet was attacked by a pirate band featuring clone crewmembers, and Skywaker and Solo successfully
drove off the attack. [SOTP]

Iridium
The infamous space pirates of Iridium preyed on merchant shipping during the days of the Old Republic,
until they were wiped out by the Jedi Knights. The pirates used unique "power gems," which generated a
disrupting aura, to break through the shields of their victims' starships. One pirate, Raskar, managed to
survive the Jedi attack and escaped with the only remaining power gem. He set up on a rimworld and
invited those interested in the gem to fight for it in gladiatorial combat. Han Solo and Chewbacca managed
to obtain Raskar's gem following the Battle of Yavin, though the object only had enough power remaining
for one final shield disruption. [CSW]
Irith
Romort Raort, head of one of the largest spice-jacking gangs in Hutt space, was originally from Irith.
[DESB]

Ison Corridor
The Ison Corridor, containing the Ison system, is located next to the Corellian Trade Spine. It is lightly
populated and considered a backwater, and almost all freight traffic skips the Corridor in favor of the
nearby Trade Spine. The Corridor is made of four systems in a relatively straight line, starting with the
Bespin system and continuing with the Anoat, Hoth, and Ison systems. A standard hyperspace trip from
one system to the next will only take about fourteen hours. The Ison Corridor also contains the planet
Varonat, where Mara Jade once worked as a hyperdrive mechanic following the death of the Emperor.
[DFR, GG2, SWAJ]

Issor
The aquatic planet Issor, home to the alien Issori and Odenji species, is a prosperous technology and
commerce center located in the Trulalis system. Centuries ago, the Issori's cousin species the Odenji were
nearly wiped out by the "melanncho" -- a sadness so powerful it can make the sufferer go insane. The
respected scholar Arner Figgis and the smuggler Fahs Oxsor are both natives of Issor. [SWAJ]

Ithor
Ithor is a bright green and blue planet with many moons in the Ottega system (sometimes referred to as the
Ithorian system) located in the Lesser Plooriod Cluster. The fourth planet in the system and home to the
nature-loving Ithorians, Ithor is a beautiful world of unspoiled rainforests, rivers, and waterfalls. Three
continents have been developed on the humid planet, though they still appear to be overgrown jungles to
most visitors. Two large land masses and many islands are maintained in their original, unexplored state.
The Ithorians, commonly called "hammerheads" or "Meerian hammerheads," consider their jungle sacred
and only set foot in it during emergencies. Instead, they have constructed vast floating cities (including the
Tree of Tarintha, the Cloud-Mother, and the Grand Herd Ship Tafanda Bay) which float above the Bafforr
treetops in no particular pattern. Ithorian starships, essentially herd cities with hyperdrives, travel the
spacelanes selling unusual and rare merchandise. Brathflen Corporation, which operates on Belsavis, is a
major Ithorian trading company. At times the Mother Jungle has been known to "call" certain Ithorians to
live on the surface as ecological priests, who then never return to their herd cities. All Ithorians are bound
by the Ithorian Law of Life, which states that for every plant harvested, two must be planted in its place. A
large grove of semi-intelligent Bafforr trees, located in the Cathor Hills, was half-destroyed by the Empire.
This grove acts as an intelligent hive mind and is worshipped by the Ithorian people. In addition to the
Bafforr, Ithor's flora includes blueleaf, tremmin, fiddleheaded bull-ferns, donar flowers, and indyup trees;
animal life includes the manollium bird, the arrak snake, the giant Ithorian snail, and the shamarok flitter --
a small flying rodent that can mimic speech. One of the most beautiful attractions on the planet is the Falls
of Dessiar. Every five years Ithorians gather at their planet for "The Meet," where the most important
decisions regarding Ithorian society are made. During this Time of Meeting the herd cities link up through
an intricate and graceful network of bridges and antigrav platforms.

Years ago, the Imperial captain Alima, commanding the Star Destroyer Conquest, forced the Ithorian
Momaw Nadon to reveal secret agricultural and cloning information. Nadon, High Priest of the Tafanda
Bay, gave up the information to save the rainforests and his herd city from destruction. For this
transgression Nadon was exiled from Ithor, and lived on Tatooine for many years until exacting his revenge
on Alima. Ithor's herd cities are a common destination for tourists, especially young couples. Wedge
Antilles and Imperial scientist Qwi Xux once visited Ithor as a safe haven, though they were attacked by
Kyp Durron who partially erased Dr. Xux's mind. [SWS, MTS, SWR, DA, COTJ, TFTC, SOTE]

Ithull
Ithull was the homeworld of both the incredibly huge Colossus Wasps and the now-extinct Ithullan race.
Four thousand years ago in the Stenness node, the tough exoskeletons of the Colossus Wasps were
hollowed out, fitted with hyperdrive engines and other necessary hardware, and used as cargo ships.
Several hundred years ago, the warlike Ithulls were attacked by the even more fierce Mandalore. The
Mandalorians succeeded in completely exterminating the entire Ithull race. The bounty hunter Dyyz Nataz
was known to wear a suit of Ithullan battle armor. [TOTJ, TFTC]

Ixtlar
Ixtlar is said to have a "multicolored skyline" due to its numerous holographic advertising boards. [CSSB]

Jaemus
Located in the system of the same name within the Pentastar Alignment, Jaemus is home to a major
shipyard and repair facility. Almost as large as the massive shipyards at Sluis Van, the Jaemus yards are
operated by Galentro Heavy Works and home to branches of the massive Imperial suppliers Kuat Drive
Yards and Sienar Fleet Systems. Both corporations are jointly producing the Enforcer-class picket cruiser
at Jaemus, for use by the Pentastar Alignment navy. [SWAJ]

Jagga-Two
Located in the Venjagga system at the edge of the Galactic Core, Jagga-Two is the site of an Imperial base.
The base manufactures a supply of concussion missiles and supports the Imperial Star Destroyer-II
Eviscerator, which is stationed in the system to protect the missile output. Some three years after the Battle
of Endor, the Alliance staged a feint in on Jagga-Two to cover their simultaneous assault on Borleias in the
nearby Pyria system. [XWRS]

Janara III
A world of green, rolling hills containing the city of Sreina. A number of years before the Battle of Yavin,
Imperial officer Matt Turhaya left his little girl Alex with relatives on Janara III, while he reported for duty
on the Star Destroyer Relentless. When he returned a year later, he discovered the city of Sreina had been
devastated by an Imperial raid on suspected rebels. Though Turhaya believed his daughter was dead, she
had actually been rescued and adopted by the Imperial governor of Garos IV. [SWAJ]

Jandoon
Located in the system of the same name in the Corva sector of the Outer Rim, Jandoon is an abandoned
world of plains and hills, dotted with the moss-covered ruins of an ancient alien species. The builders of
the ruins mysteriously died out centuries ago, and the world is rumored to be a haunted realm of ghosts.
After the Battle of Endor, the Gotal crimelord Mahk'khar planned to sell an ancient relic to the Dark Jedi
Durrei, at a rendezvous on Jandoon. [SWAJ]

Jandur
During the early days of the New Republic, the worlds of Cortina and Jandur came to Coruscant to petition
for membership. Though they initially seemed prideful and arrogant, both planets eventually signed the
standard articles of confederation. [BTS]

Janodral Miznar
Han Solo once fought a group of Zygerrian slavers off Janodral Miznar and gave the ship and cargo to the
freed slaves. Janodral Miznar has a local law that pirate or slaver victims get to split the proceeds if the
pirates are captured or killed. [HTTE]

Jaresh system
Located in the Corva sector of the Outer Rim and far from major hyperlanes, the Jaresh system contains a
habitable moon orbiting its third planet. This moon, Jaresh, is a wet, dark swamp world covered with
hundred-meter black trees and shrouded in a thick haze. The moon, teeming with life, was purchased by
the Twi'lek smuggler Ree Shala, who built her floating base there approximately three years after the Battle
of Endor. [SWAJ]

Javin sector
An Imperial space platform, D-34, guards a major trade route in the Javin sector, which lies near the
Bruanii and Tungra sectors and is relatively close to the planet Hoth. This platform was captured by the
Alliance following the Battle of Hoth, but was soon reclaimed by the Imperials. [TSC]

Jendar
Ral Shawgrim, a former Alliance technician turned traitor, was hospitalized twice during the Jendar
Campaign. [SWAJ]

Jerijador
The exports of Jerijador include cheap shoe kits, which are sold in the markets of Belsavis. [COTJ]

Jerrilek
A blue, tropical world with a rapid rotation, Jerrilek has no moons but boasts an impressive set of rings.
The planet's land makes up only 15% of the surface area, is concentrated around Jerrilek's equator, and
consists of two main continents (covered with mountainous forests) and many smaller island chains. The
planet is used as a vacation and retirement spot by many of the galaxy's wealthy and powerful. One of
Jerrilek's largest cities is Graleca, which is located on a small island and is an important part of the local
aquaculture industry. Jerrilek's population consists of twelve million humans and five million Ithorians,
and many inhabitants travel across the waters in vehicles called seaskimmers. Though Jerrilek has no
native intelligent life, an aquatic species seems to have existed on the planet over one million years ago --
several of their ancient ruins can be still seen beneath the water's surface. Retired Imperial Admiral Chel
Dorat lives on Jerrilek, in an estate located on the coast of Graleca. [SWAJ]

Jeyell
Located in the Mid-Rim, Jeyell is home to the corporate offices for Reiber Manufacturing, a major
producer of black-market assassin droid components. Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, Imperial officials
nationalized Reiber Manufacturing along with several other droid corporations, giving them control of the
Mid-Rim droid market. [SWAJ]

Jodaka
The planet Jodaka has vast oceans surrounded by rocky reefs. The seas house many unusual animals
including the deadly Jodakan needler crab, which fires poisonous darts to catch its natural seagull prey.
[SWAJ]

Joiol
Joiol, in the Orus sector, was investigated as a possible stopover point in Grand Admiral Thrawn's clone
trafficking by Clyngunn the Ze'Hethbra, who found nothing significant. The smuggler Mazzic was picked
up by Thrawn in the Joiol system and informed that the Empire was not behind an attack on the smugglers
at Trogan. [LC]

Jomark
Jomark is an isolated, watery planet with three small moons located in the Jomark system. Its 300,000
square kilometers of surface area are taken up in strings of tiny islands and one modest continent. Although
no one has taken official notice of the planet for years, the last census reported its population as a sparse
three million. The High Castle of Jomark sits on the main continent 400 meters above Ring Lake, on a
volcanic cone between rocky crags. Jomark's colonists are reverent towards the ancient castle, which was
constructed by a long-vanished alien race. Several villages lie clustered near the southern shore of Ring
Lake including Chynoo, where Joruus C'baoth meted out justice to the villagers from a High Castle throne
placed in the town square. Cracian Thumpers are used as riding mounts by Jomark's colonists. [HTTE,
DFR]

Joruna
Joruna and Widek are two New Republic planets located near the Koornacht Cluster, possibly in the Farlax
sector. Due to the zealous guarding of Koornacht's borders by the alien Yevetha, all freight traffic must
travel a circuitous route around the Cluster to reach both worlds. [BTS]

Jospro sector
A seldom-visited sector containing the Dar'Or system, the Jospro sector is home to tiny creatures that
paralyze the neocortex of the human brain. Imperial forces on Bakura used these creatures to suppress the
memories of Eppie Belden. [GG4, TAB]

Jovan Station
Jovan Station was the command center for the Imperial fleet blockading Yavin 4 following the destruction
of the first Death Star. The commanding officer, Admiral Griff, ordered a full-scale attack on Yavin 4 when
he heard the Super Star Destroyer Executor had been disabled. [CSW]

J't'p'tan
J't'p'tan is a gentle, pleasant world of garden cities located in the heart of the Koornacht Cluster, and is
recorded in charts as Doornik-628E. There is life on the system's fourth and fifth planets. The name
J't'p'tan is an approximation of four H'kig glyphs: "jeh," the immanent, "teh," the transcendent, "peh," the
eternal, and "tan," the conscious essence. The first three glyphs are considered too sacred to be written out
fully. Some fifty years ago, a colony of 13,000 religious H'kig settled on the planet and built a vast stone
temple (covering over 2000 hectares of a small valley) entirely by hand. Later, the sisters of the Fallanassi
Order settled on J't'p'tan after departing the planet Lucazec. Some twelve years after the Battle of Endor,
during the Yevethans' Great Purge, the H'kig colony was presumably destroyed by a Yevethan orbital
bombardment. In reality, the temple was preserved by the Fallanassi, who projected an illusory image of
total devastation in order to protect the commune from harm. The Yevetha started a small colony on the
planet after their assumed "conquest." Not long after, Luke Skywalker and Akanah Norand Pell arrived on
J't'p'tan to search for the Fallanassi. Akanah was quickly reunited with her fellow sisters, while Luke
convinced the group to help the New Republic fleet in the Battle of N'zoth. After the battle, the Fallanassi
left J't'p'tan on the liner Star Morning to search for a new home. [BTS, SOL, TT]

Jubilar
Jubilar is a penal colony orbited by a single moon, used by several nearby worlds as a dumping-ground for
their worst criminals. The cast-off inhabitants have since organized themselves into competing armies, and
fight each other in a constant series of brutal wars. One of Jubilar's cities is called Dying Slowly (later
renamed Death), and contains the slum Executioner's Row and the huge Victory Forum, where the Regional
Sector Number Four's All-Human Free-For-All extravaganza is held. In this event, four humans are pitted
against each other in a pentagonal ring and the last one standing is declared the winner. Fifteen years
before the Battle of Hoth, Boba Fett killed a spice dealer named Hallolar Voors on Jubilar. While there, he
saw a young Han Solo successfully defend himself in the Free-For-All against three larger opponents.
Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, Solo returned to Jubilar to make a smuggling run "for old time's
sake." He discovered that the Victory Forum and many other areas of the city had been demolished through
war and neglect, and he got involved in an unexpected firefight with Boba Fett. A popular planetary export
is Jandarra -- the green vegetables grown in Jubilar's desert and on a few hydroponics farms. [TBH]

Junkfort Station
A patchwork collection of living modules in space, joined by a network of airlink tunnels. Ships often
travel to Junkfort to receive illegal modifications, and bounty hunters are ostensibly not allowed on board.
Following the Battle of Yavin, Han Solo and Chewbacca went to Junkfort's cantina to inquire about how
they could acquire shield-disrupting power gems. [CSW]

Jurzan
Site of the Jurzan spaceport. An Imperial supply fleet carrying a shipment of bacta stopped at Jurzan for

Juvex sector
Adjacent to the Senex sector and near the Ninth Quadrant, the Juvex sector contains the Juvex systems.
Like the Senex sector, it is run by groups of Ancient Houses, which include the House Streethyn. Bran
Kemple was a small-time gunrunner in the Juvex systems before taking over the smuggling business on
Belsavis. Eight years after the Battle of Endor, some of the Juvex Lords met with Roganda Ismaren on
Belsavis with the intent of forging a military alliance. [COTJ]

K Seven Forty-nine system

The K749 system, located in the Outer Rim near the Moonflower Nebula, contains the planet Pzob.
[COTJ]

Kaa
When Colonel Pakkpekatt and his companions, aboard the space yacht Lady Luck, arrived at Carconth to
investigate an anomaly, a slave circuit in their ship was activated by Lando Calrissian's beckon call. The
Lady Luck pointed itself in the general direction of Kaa before jumping to hyperspace. [TT]

Kaal
Kaal, a blue world covered with vast oceans, is located in the Yushan sector in the Mid-Rim. Now a major
exporter of agricultural goods, Kaal also boasts many luxurious resorts and casinos, including the Grand
Imperial. The planet's only starport is located on a string of islands forming a resort city. When the
Emperor died at Endor, a Dark Jedi was so overwhelmed by his master's agony that he crashed his ship
(rumored to be carrying a functional cloaking device) into Kaal's ocean. The crash created a tidal wave,
which wiped out the Unis Islands resorts in the northwest and damaged several other areas. Kaal was an
Imperial resort world until the Empire abandoned it soon after the Battle of Endor, at which point the world
was taken over by the local crimelord Tirgee Benyalle. Realizing that the Empire had never exploited the
rich agricultural potential of Kaal, Benyalle purchased ten huge repulsorlift harvesters (including the Sea
Sprite), which travel over the planet's oceans extracting and processing massive quantities of foodstuffs.
Two years after Endor, the New Republic sent representatives to Kaal to negotiate for control of its
valuable aquaculture industry. Among the other negotiators were the heads of two Imperial factions and the
smuggler Talon Karrde, who was interested in retrieving the crashed Jedi ship and its supposed cloaking
device. Kaal's population numbers around 4.5 million. [SWAJ]

Kabaira
Kabaira, located in the Teilcam system of the Outer Rim, has a surface nine-tenths covered with water and
dotted by over two million volcanic islands. The few active volcanoes are located in the southern
hemisphere, while the eight million Kabairans live in the north, primarily on the two island continents of
Madieri and Belshain. Eponte Spaceport, the center of Kabaira's corporate government, is located on the
north cost of Madieri and is bordered by mountains. Eponte's high altitude means its climate is typically
cool, damp, and foggy. Along Eponte's ancient brick-lined streets one can find the disreputable Drayhar's
Cantina, and corporate offices for Delgas Medical and Hydrospeare Corp. Kabaira's main industry is the
mining of islands in the southern hemisphere, and indigenous animal life includes the white snow-wolves
that inhabit the mountains. Though the planet is controlled by the Empire, underground Rebel activities
have been making their hold on the planet more precarious. A number of years before the Battle of Yavin,
the smugglers Tere Metallo and Matt Turhaya were involved in a dangerous adventure on Kabaira. [SWAJ]

Kabal
Kabal is an outworld that was officially neutral in the Galactic Civil War, aligned with neither the Empire
nor the Alliance. Following the Battle of Yavin, Princess Leia Organa attended a conference on Kabal and
met with the leaders of several uncommitted worlds, including Aquaris. An Imperial Star Destroyer, alerted
by a tip from the Freeholder Kraaken, arrived at Kabal to wipe out this conference and to punish the planet
for its neutral stance. Waves of TIE bombers leveled the city, but the Princess was saved by the timely
arrival of the Millennium Falcon. Kabal is also the homeworld of Lady Lapema Phonstom, one of Lando
Calrissian's candidates for marriage. Lying near the planet is a small dwarf star with an artificially-
accelerated gravitational pull, surrounded by a vast graveyard of derelict starships. [CSW, AAC]

Ka'Dedus
An ultraviolet supergiant star orbited by Af'El, home planet of the Defel. [GG4]

Kaelta
A purple star orbited by Toola, homeworld of the Whipids. [GG4]

Kaikielius system
Lying very close to the Coruscant system. When the revived Empire began its conquest of the Kaikielius
and Metellos systems six years after the Battle of Endor, New Republic leaders on Coruscant began to
search for a new base of operations. [DESB]

Kail
A planet in the Corporate Sector. Torm Dadeferron, an associate of Han Solo, had family on Kail who
controlled several large tracts of land known as the Kail Ranges. Torm's father and brother disappeared
after a dispute with the Corporate Sector Authority over land-use rights and stock prices. [HSSE, CSSB]

Kalarba
A terrestrial planet in the remote Kalarba system, Kalarba is orbited by the moons Hosk and Indobok. Sites
on the planet include Kalarba City, the Great Sea, and the Three Peaks of Tharen -- a revered symbol of the
spirit. Before their service to Captain Antilles, R2-D2 and C-3PO worked for the Pitareeze family on
Kalarba. Meg and Jarth Pitareeze operated Kalarba Safari and booked tours of the planet's ancient ancestral
lands, while Baron Pitareeze ran a spaceship factory where they manufactured the MT-5 hyperdrive unit.
Animal life on the planet includes the flying vynock. [D]

Kalior V
Kalior V is the location of the Imperial aquaria, whose maintenance is entrusted to a group of Sedrians
known as the Shalik family. [GG4]

Kalist VI
The site of an Imperial labor colony for political prisoners. Alliance gunner Dak Ralter was born in this
colony, and lived there for 17 years until escaping with the help of a downed Rebel pilot. [MTS]

Kalla
Kalla, in the Corporate Sector, is the site of a Corporate Sector Authority university intended for the
education of Authority members' children. Consequently, major fields of study include technical education,
commerce, and administration with very little emphasis on the humanities. Rekkon was an instructor at the
university prior to his adventures with Han Solo, and Fiolla of Lorrd attended the University of Kalla prior
to taking a position in the Corporate Sector Authority. General Evir Derricote, commander of the Imperial
base on Borleias, was a native of Kalla. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, after leaving the planet
Teyr, Luke Skywalker briefly monitored the ship Amanda's Toy II belonging to Unlimited Horizons Inc. of
Kalla. [HSSE, CSSB, XWRS, SOL]

Kalla VII
Prior to the Battle of Yavin, a group of Alliance X-wings eliminated a large Imperial base located near
Kalla VII, in an attempt to strand arriving Imperial ships. This resulted in the capture of the frigate Priam.
[FP]

Kalthol Outback
The Kalthol Outback contains the Exocron system. [SOTP]

Kamar
A dry, hot planet orbiting a white star, Kamar is located just outside the Corporate Sector border and is the
homeworld of the insect-like Kamarians. Kamar's native flora includes miser-plants, barrel-scrub, and
sting-brush, while its fauna includes digworms, stingworms, bloodsniffers, nightswifts, and howlrunners --
canine hunters with heads resembling human skulls. The nocturnal Kamarians live in small groups called
tk'skqua, and their more sophisticated nations have developed technology such as nuclear explosives and
fluidic control systems. Members of the unique Kamarian Badlander culture choose to live in the most arid
and harsh areas of the planet. Han Solo inadvertently started a new religion among the Kamarian
Badlanders based on the holofeature Varn, World of Water during a visit to the planet. [HSR, CSSB]

Kamori
Kamori, whose cities include Tandaro, Jandal, Hyra, and Kimora City, is ruled by Chamber President
Thane Dregond. The planet was the site of a powerful earthquake, centered on the Zethusian plains. The
quake caused tidal waves, killed hundreds of thousands of citizens, and severely damaged Jandal, Hyra and
Kimora City. One of those killed was Glanthe school master painter Dana Dragond, one of Kamori's
"living treasures." [SWAJ]

Kamparas
The Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth attended a Jedi training center on Kamparas for two years, from 2/15/90
until 8/33/88, Pre-Empire date. Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, the New Republic searched the old
Imperial archive on Kamparas in the hopes of finding the names of the Bothans involved in the Caamas
tragedy. [DFR, SOTP]

Kanchen sector
The Kanchen sector contains the planet Xa Fel and the twin planets Pakrik Major and Pakrik Minor. Pakrik
Major is the sector capital. Five years after the Battle of Endor, the heart of the Kanchen sector fell to
Grand Admiral Thrawn's forces after a thirty-hour battle with New Republic warships over Xa Fel. [LC]

Kanz sector
The Kanz sector contains the planets Argazda and Lorrd. Four thousand years ago, the sector was an
isolated region located on the frontier of the Old Republic. During the time known as the Kanz Disorders,
the provisional governor of Argazda declared the sector independent from the Republic and tried to enslave
the rest of its worlds, including Lorrd. The Republic, preoccupied with other matters, did nothing for three
hundred years, until the Jedi Knights finally intervened to free the Lorrdians and end the Kanz Disorders.
[CSSB]

Karfeddion
Located in the Senex sector, Karfeddion is the site of several slave farms run by the House Vandron.
Breeding farms are designed to produce Ossan and Bilanaka slaves, tailored for agricultural work. During
an economic depression on Karfeddion, Lady Theala Vandron was summoned to the High Court of
Coruscant to defend the slave farms on her homeworld. [COTJ]

Karideph
The Nikto assassin Ma'w'shiye, during his time as an Alliance agent, served with Lieutenant Akul Witig
during the Karideph operations. During this time, Witig gave Ma'w'shiye a heavy overcoat. [SWAJ]

Karnak Alpha
Karnak Alpha, located beyond the Hapes Consortium near the Deep Galactic Core, is home to the fur-
covered alien species called Karnak Alphans. The shy, easygoing Alphans hold children in high esteem,
always serving them first at meals. Having a large number of children means greater status in Alphan
society, and their government has a children's council. They also love unusual zoological specimens, and
keep elaborate zoos and beautiful holographic dioramas. Nineteen years after the Battle of Endor, Chief of
State Leia Organa Solo met with the Karnak Alpha ambassador and her eight children, and presented the
ambassador with a rare Coruscant hawk-bat egg. [YJK]

Karra
A small, dense planet in the Rayter sector, Karra is covered with flat, grassy plateaus separated by jungle
canyons and is home to the alien species called Karrans. The planet's temperature is uncomfortably hot and
its lifeforms consist almost entirely of insects. Karra's vast variety of insect life includes beetles, leapers,
legworms, clouds of tiny swarmers, and a walker-sized mantis. The native Karrans are large, fur-covered
insectivores whose primitive technology is centered around pottery and simple hand tools. The Karrans
seem to have recently developed sentience based around a communal hive mind, and can apparently control
the planet's insect population.

Several hundred years ago, a colony was established on Karra to mine varmigio, a material used in
hyperdrive cores. When no varmigio was found, the colonists were abandoned. Recently the Empire
opened a varmigio mine for the same purpose, but met with no greater success. The Imperial base was later
destroyed by swarms of attacking insects, presumably operating under the control of the native Karrans.
[SWAJ]

Kashi
The former homeworld of the long-extinct Kashi Mer culture. Soon after the formation of the Old
Republic, the planet and its system were destroyed when their star inexplicably went nova. A force-user
named Reda Jalooz had previously stolen a small gray stone -- an heirloom of the Kashi Mer monarchy --
but when she came back to return it, she was killed in the sudden supernova. After the Battle of Endor, this
strange artifact mysteriously reappeared in the Corva sector. [SWAJ]

Kashyyyk
A brown-green jungle planet covered with kilometers-high wroshyr trees, Kashyyyk is the homeworld of
the fierce but loyal Wookiees. Various ecosystems exist along each layer of the trees, with each level
growing progressively more deadly the farther one travels to the planet's surface. Two levels down from
the lowermost inhabited Wookiee level lies the Twilight Gardens, and one level below that lies the Shadow
Forest. On the Shadow Forest level, the Rryatt Trail leads directly to the Well of the Dead -- a gaping hole
in the jungle that marks the bottom of the great pit of Anarrad. Lifeforms on these lower levels include the
webweaver, the tiny needlebug, the large-eyed scuttle grazer, the rkkrrkkrl (or trap-weaver), the tharriarr,
the five-limbed kkekkrrg rro (or Shadow Keeper), the flame beetle, the gundark, the flying charkarr, the
daubird, the sprite, the mallakin, the netcaster, the grove harrier, the Kashyyyk land shrimp, the
protoplasmic slug, and the slow, herbivorous rroshm. Plant life includes parasitic gray bridal-veil suckers,
jaddyyk moss, paddle-leafed mock shyr, and wasaka berries. Many of the lifeforms in the darkest levels,
both plant and animal, are phosphorescent or bio-luminescent. The Wookiees inhabit the highest levels in
huge cities that are naturally supported by the thick tree branches, since wroshyr branches grow together
when they meet. One such city, Rwookrrorro, is over a kilometer wide and built on a flat platform of
meter-thick spongy material. It features two- to three-story buildings and a landing platform made from the
stump of a wide limb. A different city contains a spaceport control tower, perimeter guns, and a vast
computer fabrication facility that was used by the New Republic to produce warship computer cores. Other
cities on Kashyyyk include Kkkellerr, Karryntora, Northaykk, and the Thikkiiana Peninsula. The most
prestigious Wookiee homes are built on the trees themselves, and nursery rings for young Wookiees are
built in the tops of the very highest wroshyrs. The kshyy vines that grow among these trees cannot be cut
with blasters and are strong enough to support liftcars. Colored searchlights in the cities help attract native
birds called kroyies, a prize food. Imported banthas are used for transportation and as beasts of burden,
while glowing gnat-like insects called phosfleas illuminate mesh street lanterns. Wookiees have easily
incorporated modern technology into their society and can accommodate visiting starships, though they
sometimes prefer to use archaic items like their traditional quarrel-firing bowcaster. Though they are
perfectly comfortable with starship operation and repair, Wookiees have never built starships of their own.
Many years after the Battle of Endor, a string of security satellites was set up in Kashyyyk's orbit.

Customs of the Wookiee people include the "life debt," where Wookiees feel they must repay the person
who has saved their life, and the "honor family," or those people to whom a Wookiee feels a particular bond
of friendship. The language of Wookiees is Shyriiwook, meaning "Tongue of the Tree People." Wookiee
adolescents undergo a dangerous rite of passage into adulthood by harvesting silky strands from the heart
of the carnivorous syren plant. The Wookiee species was treated as slave labor by the Empire and many
were forced to toil on various Imperial construction projects. Many Wookiees still resent humans for the
actions of the Empire. Five years after the Battle of Endor, Leia Organa Solo hid on Kashyyyk until
discovered by a team of Noghri commandos who made an unsuccessful attempt to capture her. Twelve
years after Endor, Chewbacca went home to Kashyyyk to attend the coming-of-age ceremony -- the
hrrtayyk -- of his son, Lumpawarrump. Fifteen years after Endor, Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin Solo went to
Kashyyyk to visit with Chewbacca's family. Nineteen years after Endor, Chewbacca's nephew Lowbacca
left to attend the Jedi acadamy on Yavin 4. Soon after, Lowbacca returned to Kashyyyk with Jacen and
Jaina Solo and helped foil a Second Imperium plot to capture New Republic guidance codes from the
computer fabrication facility. [HTTE, SWS, HSLL, YJK, TBH, SOTE, SOTP, HG, BTS, TT]

K'ath
Local crafts for sale on the many-tiered world of K'ath include delicate figurines made from seashells.
[GOF]

Kath II
About one-third of Kath II's population is human. Approximately twenty years after the Battle of Endor, a
global election was held on the planet. No humans were elected thanks to the influence of the Diversity
Alliance. [YJK2]

Kathol sector
Jacc Maldelbrot, owner of the Royal Casino in Bespin's Cloud City, began his career as a textile worker in
the remote Kathol sector. [GG2]

Kauron
Kauron, located in the system of the same name, is the homeworld of the alien Kauronians. The bounty
hunter Greedo observed a Kauronian bounty hunter during Greedo's first visit to the Mos Eisley Cantina.
The system also contains an asteroid cluster, where the Cavrilhu pirate gang kept their primary base of
operations. The tunnels in their hollowed-out asteroid were originally drilled by a pre-Clone Wars mining
operation. The rock cluster had only two safe paths: one for arrival, and a different one for departure.
Some camouflaged asteroids held turbolaser nests, cluster traps, and shredder bombs to surprise unwelcome
visitors. Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, Luke Skywalker tried to infiltrate the Kauron pirate base to
investigate their involvement with clone trafficking. After Skywalker escaped, the pirates abandoned their
stronghold and triggered its self-destruct. [TFTC, SOTP]

Kelada
Located in the Anarid Cluster, Kelada is an industrial planet (home to a major Arakyd factory) that supplies
the Empire with repulsorlift components and parts for Imperial walkers. Recent increases in Alliance
activity have resulted in the Empire struggling to maintain control of Kelada, and they have diverted ten
Star Destroyers to the system to cement their hold after the disastrous Battle of Endor. Once, Kelada kept
an ecological balance between industry and the environment, but the balance is now threatened as forests
and savannas are cleared to support greater production. An industrial wasteland is growing just outside the
Kelada starport. The starport contains the popular tavern Lorana's Labyrinth, which features mirrored walls
and a mazelike bar. The smuggler Dirk Harkness' companion Chessa was tragically killed by Imperial
stormtroopers in the Kelada starport. [SWAJ]

Kelavine system
The Kelavine system, located in the Expansion Region far from any trade lanes, contains the gas giant
Taloraan as its largest planet. After the Battle of Hoth, Alliance operatives were sent to search for tibanna
gas deposits on gas giant planets in the Lequabis, K'taktaxka, Poviduze, and Kelavine systems and the
Shasfath Cluster. [SWAJ]

Kelrodo-Ai
Site of the Kelrodo-Ai gelatin mines, famous for their water sculptures and formerly operated by Baron-
Administrator Drom Guldi. Guldi and his aide were killed by Wampa ice creatures while on a hunting
expedition to Hoth, eight years after the Battle of Endor. [DS]

Keller's Void
Named for the trader who first discovered it, Keller's Void is an empty region of space that serves as a
hyperspace shortcut between the Calus and Wroona systems. Occasionally pirates have been known to
bring asteroids from the nearby Udine system and place them in the Void, to create mass shadows and force
unsuspecting ships from hyperspace. [SWAJ]

Kemplex Nine
Nearly four thousand years ago, Kemplex Nine was a strategic jump-station in the Auril sector and the
Cron system, and the only inhabited outpost near the Cron Cluster. During the Sith War, Ulic Qel-Droma
gave hints that he intended to attack the undefended station, but it was merely a ruse to draw Republic
defenses away from his true target of Coruscant. Later, Qel-Droma did decide to hit Kemplex Nine, but
this was meant to draw Jedi forces into a trap. Aleema and Crado, aboard an ancient Sith ship, devastated
the station and lured the pursuing Jedi fleet into the ten stars of the Cron Cluster. When they were in
position, Aleema activated the Sith weapon and inadvertently ignited all ten stars, utterly wiping out
Kemplex Nine and the entire surrounding area of space. [TSW]

Kerensik
A frozen planet located in the protective federation of worlds called the Botor Enclave. New Republic
navigator Kane Griggs grew up on Kerensik and joined the Alliance following the Battle of Endor, after
working in the Botor Income Ministry as an economist. Kerensiki trees have spines and needles instead of
leaves. [DESB]

Kessel
Kessel, in the Kessel sector, is a potato-shaped planet with one large moon located somewhat near
Fwillsving and Honoghr. It is home to the city of Kessendra, is the only source of the telepathy-inducing
glitterstim spice, and was the former site of a brutal Imperial prison and spice mining operation. The planet
appears reddish from space and has a slightly lighter gravity than standard. Kessel's surface is covered with
crumbled salt flats and atmosphere-producing factories, which make the air breathable when filtering
breath masks are used. Kessel is too small to hold this artificial atmosphere, however, so much of it trails
off behind the planet in the wake of its orbit. Beneath the surface of the planet live energy spiders, which
spin glitterstim webs as a method of catching their prey (primarily the luminous "bogey").
The Kessel system is adjacent to a cluster of black holes known as the Maw, which makes navigating to the
planet difficult and helped glamorize the smugglers' "Kessel Run." The Run allows smugglers to make a
shortcut through a vast area of uninhabited space that would take nearly two days to bypass under normal
conditions. Just past the Maw is a debris-strewn region of space called the Pit -- a proper Kessel Run
involves skirting the Maw, flying through the Pit, and hooking back up with the regular hyperlanes on the
opposite side. While Kessel was under control by the Empire it was a common smuggling destination for
those dealing in spice.

Following the failure of the Emperor's attempt to destroy the Jedi enclave on Belsavis, several designers of
the Eye of Palpatine were reassigned to punitive duty at Kessel. Han Solo was first brought to Kessel
approximately five years before the Battle of Yavin by Kid DXo'ln and immediately went on his first
Kessel Run with Roa. Solo's life was also saved on one Kessel run by his old associate Badure. Later, Solo
set a new Kessel Run record by flying the route in "less than 12 parsecs." Prior to the Battle of Yavin, a
bold Alliance rescue operation freed a group of Rebel POWs during a prisoner transfer operation. During
the chaos surrounding the Battle of Endor, a Rybet prison official named Moruth Doole (who had secretly
been supplying glitterstim to smugglers) staged a prison revolt and took control of the planet from the
Empire. Approximately three years after Endor, the members of Rogue Squadron freed sixteen Black Sun
criminals from Kessel in order to unleash them on Imperially-held Coruscant. Four years later, Han Solo
and Chewbacca were captured by Moruth Doole and imprisoned deep in the spice mines. Following their
escape, Doole's ragtag defensive fleet was decimated in a battle with Admiral Daala's Star Destroyers and
Kessel's moon (which once housed an Imperial garrison) was utterly destroyed by a Death Star prototype
from Maw Installation. Doole died during the fighting, and administration of the spice mines was taken
over by Lando Calrissian, who maintained them for approximately five years. Lujayne Forge, a member of
the famed Rogue Squadron, was from Kessel, daughter of a man who had taught inmates under an Old
Republic social program. [SW, JS, COTF, LC, HSLL, COTJ, FP, XWRS, XWWG, XWKT, NR, HG]

Kestic Station
A free-trader outpost near the Bestine system, Kestic Station was a frequent stopover for smugglers and
outlaw miners. Alliance pilot Zev Senesca lived on Kestic Station with his parents, who supplied the
Rebellion with arms until their illegal transactions were revealed by an Imperial informant. The station was
subsequently destroyed by the Star Destroyer Merciless. [MTS]

Ketal
The unique ID number on a particular bacta shipment allowed the Xucphra bacta-harvesting corporation to
uncover an Alliance base on Ketal. Xucphra promptly informed the Empire, who eliminated the base.
[SWAJ]

Ketaris
A major trade center as successful as Svivren, Ketaris was the target of an attack by Grand Admiral Thrawn
which became stalled at one point. There was hope from Alliance pilots that Wing Commander Varth could
escape the Qat Chrystac battle and hook up with a unit at Ketaris. During Thrawn's attack on Coruscant,
Admiral Ackbar was on an inspection tour of the Ketaris region. [LC]

Kho Nai
The Khotta of the planet Kho Nai are related to the Qella of the planet Qella -- both species are descended
from the ancient Ahra Naffi species. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, the cyborg Lobot retrieved the
mind-prints of the Khotta from the Institute for Sentient Studies on Baraboo in order to decipher a puzzle
found aboard the mysterious Qella ship known as the Teljkon vagabond. [BTS]

Khomm
Khomm is a pale green world lying very close to the Deep Galactic Core. It has moonless, has no unusual
geologic features, no axial tilt, and a regular orbit. A thousand years ago, the planet's alien inhabitants
decided that their society had reached perfection. They froze their bureaucratic culture at this "perfect"
level, and began producing clones of previous generations. The genderless clones of Khomm like to keep
to their own affairs, rarely leaving their planet and keeping the same roles and schedules from generation to
generation. The planet remained neutral during the Galactic Civil War. Khomm's cities are laid out in
perfect gridworks, with almost all buildings and residences looking identical and made from the same
green-veined rock. Large cloning facilities in each city hold a record of all the major family lines. Dorsk
81 (the eighty-first clone of Dorsk) surprisingly showed unexpected Force aptitude and became one of
Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy students seven years after the Battle of Endor. The following year, Dorsk
81 returned to Khomm, and the planet was devastated by Colonel Cronus and his fleet of Victory-class Star
Destroyers. [DA, DS]

Khuiumin
The Khuiumin system was the primary base for the infamous Eyttyrmin Batiiv pirates, until they were
systematically destroyed by the Imperial Victory-class Star Destroyers Crusader and Bombard. The two
warships eliminated all 150 craft in the pirate armada and chased the last survivors to the surface of
Khuiumin -- where their stronghold was wiped out by the Crusader's concussion missiles. [SWS, SWAJ]

Kidron
Animal life in the Kidron system include the Quamilla, which attack in swarms and carve up sodbeasts.
[POT]

Kiffex
The site of a colony, where the twin con-artists Brea and Senni Tonnika were raised and where they
perfected their deceptive money-making skills. [MTS]

Kiilimaar
A planet possibly in the Eva-T system. It was at Kiilimaar, following the Battle of Hoth, that the Rneekii
pirates arranged to turn a captured TIE Defender scientist over to the Empire in exchange for a substantial
ransom. The Imperial forces, however, double-crossed the pirates and recovered the ransom money. [TSC]

Kile
The low-gravity moon of Kile orbits the planet Zhar directly opposite the moon of Gall. After the Battle of
Hoth, an Alliance rescue force was sent to Kile to try and retrieve Han Solo from Boba Fett on Gall.
Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron set up a temporary operations base on Kile, though their rescue
attempt was a failure. [SOTE]

Kimanan
Kimanan is home to the animals known as furballs -- tiny, tubby, clownish marsupials which are considered
premium pets. They are sold at Sabodor's pet shop on Etti IV. [HSSE]

Kimm systems
In addition to its trafficking in Senex sector slaves, the stock light freighter Smelly Saint runs counterfeit
agri-droids from the Kimm systems. [COTJ]

King's Galquek
Located in the Meridian sector, King's Galquek is sometimes referred to as Kay-Gee. Nine years after the
Battle of Endor, a palace coup (secretly supported by the Loronar Corporation) broke out on King's
Galquek. [POT]

Kintan
The Nikto assassin Ma'w'shiye, a former Alliance agent, hails from Kintan. [SWAJ]

Kinyen
The home planet of the highly social, three-eyed aliens known as Gran. A common sight on the world are
gently waving fields of goatgrass. Ree-Yees, one of Jabba the Hutt's courtiers, was exiled from Kinyen
after committing the highly unusual (for Gran) crime of murder. [MTS, TFJP]

Kira Run
Several decades ago, the Haik expedition discovered a reliable hyperlane through the Kira system, which
they named the Kira Run. The Kira Run connects the Lazerian and Ropagi systems, and also links the
Harrin Trade Corridor with the Enarc Run. It was originally seen as a risky, uncertain route, but recently
small shipping companies have begun servicing the Run and bringing it into the company of established
trade routes. [SWAJ]

Kira system
A hyperlane running through the Kira system, known as the Kira Run, connects the Lazerian and Ropagi
systems. [SWAJ]

Kirdo III
A hot, arid world in the Outer Rim marked by red, cracked plains of dried mud and the white sands of the
Kurdan desert. Kirdo III is also the homeworld of the patient, resilient Kitonaks, who live among the dunes
where windstorms can reach speeds of 400 km/hr. To withstand the milder storms Kitonaks stand still,
angling their bodies into the onrushing wind. This is similar to their method of feeding on the small,
burrowing chooba by mimicking the sulfaro plant, the choobas' main feeding site. The vanilla-smelling
Kitonaks stand still for hours until a chooba climbs close enough to be swallowed, which is enough food to
feed a Kitonak for a month. The Kitonaks roam Kirdo III in nomadic tribes of around 100 individuals,
following the migrating chooba. Kitonaks have no natural predators and fear only quicksand and caves,
both of which hold mysterious and deadly dangers. Once each decade a great rainstorm covers Kirdo III,
flooding the dry riverbeds and ushering in the Kitonak mating ritual known as the "Great Celebration of
Life." Kitonaks are skilled at playing beautiful music on chidinkalus, the hollowed-out reeds of chidinka
plants, which sometimes results in their capture by slavers and subsequent employment as professional jizz
wailers. Droopy McCool, the stage name of one of the band members in Jabba the Hutt's palace, was a
Kitonak. Eight years after the Battle of Endor the Imperial battlemoon Eye of Palpatine apparently stopped
at Kirdo III to pick up a contingent of stormtroopers, but brought in a group of Kitonaks instead. [GG4,
ROTJ, COTJ, TFJP]

Kirrek
One of seven planets in the Teta system, Kirrek had three of its cities destroyed when it resisted the Tetan
political coup headed by Satal Keto and Aleema. [DLOS]

Kirtania
Kirtania, the fourth planet in the Yyrtan system, is a green-blue world of jungles, deserts, and mountains,
and is home to the arachnid alien species called the Araquia. Kirtania was originally colonized by several
groups of humans, who founded the competing economic states of Surana, Kinkosa, and Dulai. Over the
years, the states have seriously depleted the planet's natural resources and polluted the environment. The
population of the planet includes two million humans and only 1,500 remaining Araquia. Kinkosa has
recently agreed to become an Imperial supply station in exchange for the modernization of Kinkosa City
and privileged trading status within the Empire. Shiarha Root, the only known cure for the deadly Direllian
Plague, grows in Kinkosa's humid rainforests. Some of the many forms of life in the rainforests include
river serpents and predator lizards. [SWAJ]

Kktkt
A planet in the Farlax sector near the Koornacht Cluster. [SOL]

Klatooine
The home planet of the alien species known as Klatooinians. It is a Klatooinian custom to sell their
disrespectful youths into indentured service, and Jabba the Hutt picked up the contract of a Klatooinian
manservant named Barada. Barada then became the head of Jabba's repulsorpool, but was killed during the
rescue of Han Solo. Animal life on the planet includes the ill-tempered Klatooine paddy frog. Jabba was
sometimes known to snack on live paddy frogs, served in brandy to keep them from attacking and killing
each other. [MTS, TFJP]

Klaymor 4-2
An Imperial reconnaissance mission discovered a Rebel spy probe located near Klaymor 4-2. A single TIE
fighter, dispatched from the corvette Astin, was sent do destroy it. [TSC]

Kloper
The homeworld of the alien species known as Kloperians. Kloperians are short gray aliens with extendible
necks and many tentacles extending from their bodies, some of which are capped with hands. Due to their
mechanical skills, many Kloperians are used by the New Republic as starship technicians. [NR]

Knolstee
A planet in the Corporate Sector. Knolstee is one of the stops made by the luxury liner Lady of Mindor
during its voyage from Roonadan to Ammuud. [CSSB]

Koaan
Home of the Galactic Research Academy, where the Shi'ido known as Hoole studied and eventually
became a professor of anthropology. Seven months after the Battle of Yavin, Zak and Tash Arranda visited
Koaan with Hoole following their departure from Gobindi. [GOF]

Kobbahn
Location of the Kobbahn starport. [SWAJ]

Kogan VI
Thirteen years after Endor, after the Obroan Institute finished their investigation of the planet Qella, they
were scheduled to give up their ship Penga Rift to support Dr. Bromial's expedition on Kogan VI. [TT]

Kojash
Located in the Farlax sector and the Koornacht Cluster, Kojash was the former site of a Morath mining
operation. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, Kojash was brutally attacked and conquered by the alien
Yevetha as part of a series of raids which the Yevethans called the Great Purge. [SOL]

Kokash sector
The Kokash sector is located in the former center of the Empire's Rim territories. There are large areas of
the sector that have never been properly surveyed. During the Empire's reign, the Black Sword Command
was charged with the defense of Praxlis, Corridan, and the entire Kokash, Hatawa, and Farlax sectors.
Following the Battle of Endor, Imperial forces abandoned the Kokash sector and retreated into the Core.
[BTS]

Kolos Moon
See-Threepio once remarked that an order was "as clear as the morning air on Kolos Moon." [TT]

Komnor system
When a warlord evicted all Hutts from the Komnor system, Jabba hired the bounty hunter Dyyz Nataz to
eliminate the offending ruler. [TFTC]

Koornacht Cluster
Made up of two thousand young stars and twenty thousand planets, the Koornacht Cluster is located in a
cloud of interstellar dust and gasses in the heart of the Farlax sector. It occupies a position along the Inner
Line between Coruscant and the Deep Core strongholds of the Empire, and makes up about a tenth of the
combined regions of the Farlax and Hatawa sectors. The Cluster was named by a Tamban astronomer in
honor of Aitro Koornacht, night commander of the palace guard in the Court of Emperor Preedu III. It is
also known by many other, less common names, including The Multitude, God's Temple, and the Little
Nursery. Very little is known about the Cluster or its worlds to those in the outside galaxy. Less than 100
of the Cluster's planets are habitable, but it has an advanced technological base, a prosperous economy, and
rich mineral resources. The brown dwarf star Doornik-1142 and its planets are located on the edge of the
Cluster, while J't'p'tan is located at the heart. N'zoth, Wakiza, Tizon, Pa'aal, Prildaz, Z'fell, Faz, Tholaz, and
Zhina are Yevethan worlds within the cluster. Non-Yevethan colony worlds in the cluster include New
Brigia, Pirol-5, Polneye, Kutag (Doornik-881), Elcorth, Kojash, Doornik-207, J't'p'tan (Doornik-628), and
Morning Bell (Doornik-319 or Preza). The planets Galantos and Wehttam are the closest inhabited worlds
to the Cluster, and Dandalas, Nanta-Ri, and Kktkt lie close to Koornacht as well. Joruna and Widek are two
New Republic planets located somewhat near the Cluster.

The Koornacht Cluster's dominant alien species is the Yevetha -- skeletal bipeds with retractable dewclaws.
In N'zoth's night sky, the blazing stars of the Cluster blocked out the light from all other more distant stars,
and the Yevetha came to believe that their world was the center of the universe. The Yevethans spread from
their homeworld of N'zoth to colonize eleven other planets -- more than had ever been colonized by any
other species without the invention of hyperdrive. These eleven planets, plus N'zoth, form the Duskhan
League. The area was Imperial territory from the end of the Clone Wars until soon after the Battle of
Endor. The Yevethans were forced to work in the Empire's shipyards, and seized the entire Black Fleet
armada during the Empire's retreat from Koornacht. The Yevetha then underwent a "Second Birth," settling
a dozen more colony worlds and restoring their captured warships. The Duskhan League laid claim to the
entire Cluster, despite the fact that it contained as many as seventeen worlds populated by other species and
five other indigenous sentient species (though none with hyperdrive technology). Twelve years after the
Battle of Endor, Ambassador Nil Spaar, viceroy of the Duskhan League, came to Coruscant to meet with
Chief of State Leia Organa Solo. The Yevethan fleet later eliminated all non-Yevethan colonies from inside
the Cluster's borders, fanatically cleansing these "infestations" in a devastating series of attacks called the
Great Purge. Leia sent the New Republic's Fifth Fleet to the Cluster to force the Yevetha to back down, an
action which ultimately culminated in the decisive Battle of N'zoth. [BTS, SOL, TT]

Korbin
Outlaw stations on Korbin will service any ship, including those belonging to pirates and wanted criminals.
[SWAJ]

Koros Major
One of seven planets in the Teta system, Koros Major was the last planet to resist the system's brutal
subjugation by the Krath. The Krath leaders, headed by Satal Keto and Aleema, dispatched hundreds of
ground troops to the planet and clashed with a joint Republic/Jedi space force in Koros Major's orbit. The
Republic ships were badly damaged in the battle and were forced to retreat. [DLOS]

Korriban
A hidden world, Korriban holds the mummified remains of many Sith lords within great temples located in
the Valley of the Dark Lords. The tombs are designed to focus and amplify Dark Side energy, which
permeates the entire valley. The temples' exterior is guarded by human skeletons, activated through a
combination of machinery and Sith magic. Within the temples was an immense crystal, which held the
trapped spirits of Jedi Masters who had dared oppose the Sith. Four thousand years ago, Exar Kun visited
Korriban to learn Sith secrets and was tormented by the spirit of Freedon Nadd. Nadd destroyed the crystal
and unleashed guardian creatures on Kun, who eventually surrendered to the Dark Side of the Force.
Emperor Palpatine was known to frequent Korriban, and referred to it as his "place of power." One of
Palpatine's last visits occurred around the time of Battle of Yavin. He eventually returned, ten years later, to
try to convince the Sithlord spirits to halt the decay of his last remaining clone body. [DLOS, EE]

Kothlis
Kothlis, a colony world of the alien Bothans, is presumably located in the Bothan sector a few light years
from Bothawui. The planet is the fourth of seven worlds in its system and is orbited by three small moons.
The climate is slightly cooler than that of Bothawui and many visitors, on first arrival, remark that the
atmosphere smells like "moldy cheese." New Republic Councilor Borsk Fey'lya grew up on this colony
world instead of on the Bothan homeworld of Bothawui. Five years before the Battle of Yavin, Han Solo
and his new acquaintance Chewbacca were hired to fly a stolen ship from Duro to Kothlis. Prior to the
Battle of Endor, an Imperial freighter carrying highly-classified data about the second Death Star was
captured near Bothawui, and the data was sent to Kothlis for analysis. Luke Skywalker accompanied the
computer core to a safehouse several kilometers outside the main city, but he was captured by a female
Barabel bounty hunter named Skahtul and dumped in a building one hundred kilometers away. When
Emperor Palpatine learned that Skywalker was being held on Kothlis, he ordered Darth Vader to collect the
young Jedi and simultaneously damage the local property to make it appear as if the Empire was concerned
about the theft of their computer core. Skywalker, however, escaped and hid his ship in a large cluster of
loose rocks in a parabolic planetary orbit. Vader's forces subsequently destroyed a suspected Rebel
spaceport on one of the Kothlisian moons and seized the space station Kothlis II. [DFR, TSC, SOTE, PS,
HG]

Krenher sector
Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, after searching for any sign of the mysterious ship called the Teljkon
vagabond and its four stowaway passengers, Colonel Pakkpekatt ordered the New Republic ship Marauder
to abandon the search and report to the commodore at Krenher Sector Station. [SOL]

Ksiczzic III
The young heiress Tinian I'att and her traveling companions were picked up by the ship Quandary on
Ksiczzic III, after their departure from Druckenwell. [SWAJ]

K'taktaxka system
After the Battle of Hoth, Alliance operatives were sent to the Inner Rim and Expansion Region, to search
for tibanna gas deposits on gas giant planets in the Lequabis, K'taktaxka, Poviduze, and Kelavine systems
and the Shasfath Cluster. [SWAJ]

Kuan
Kuan, orbited by several moons, is located in the Taroon system on the outer edges of the Rim. For nearly
twenty years, Kuan was involved in a devastating war with its sister planet Bordal, until the conflict was
suddenly ended by the intervention of the Empire. The long interplanetary struggle destroyed much of
Kuan's main city, home to illegal swoop races and a popular hangout called The Maze. Animal life on
Kuan includes the rondat, and plant life includes the pleasant-smelling shimsha flower. A planetary crop is
tarine tea. The highly-decorated Imperial pilot Maarek Stele was a native of Kuan. [TSC]

Kuar
Kuar is the fifth planet orbiting a single star in the system of the same name, located near the Empress Teta
system. It is an isolated, ancient world of rocky pillars and dry sand, dotted with scrubby vegetation.
Nearly four thousand years ago, the masked warrior clans led by Mandalore conquered the planet and made
their base in the ruined underground cities of Kuar. From there they struck at the heart of the Empress Teta
system, prompting the Tetan leader Ulic Qel-Droma to fight Mandalore in single combat on Kuar's plains
of Harkul. Battling on an unstable web of chains, Qel-Droma defeated Mandalore, thereby winning the
loyalty of the warlord and his fierce soldiers-of-fortune. The Mandalorians abandoned the planet hundreds
or thousands of years ago, though many ruined cities remain. One of the surviving ruins is a three-
kilometer dusty crater on the top of a kilometer-high mesa. Its buildings and stairs are carved into the
sloping crater walls, and rusted chains connect the tops of the tallest structures. Native plant life includes
mushrooms and colorful shelf fungus, while animal life includes yellow six-legged reptiles, centipede-like
insects, and feral Caridan combat arachnids which were originally brought to the world by the
Mandalorians. Approximately twenty years after the Battle of Endor, Jacen and Jaina Solo came to Kuar
searching for the Alderaanian noble Bornan Thul. While there, they were attacked by the assassin droid
IG-88. [TSW, YJK2]

Kuat
Kuat, located in the Kuat sector in the most densely-populated section of the galaxy, is the location of the
massive Kuat Drive Yards starship construction facilities. The planet is one of several orbiting a single star
in the Kuat system. Kuat Drive Yards, or KDY, is one of the Empire's primary producers of warships and
manufactures the feared Imperial-class Star Destroyer. Some engineering facilities are located directly on
the planet Kuat itself, while shipbuilding satellites orbit the world and other construction facilities are
located on its moons. A Super Star Destroyer called Executor was built at the Kuat yards, but was quickly
renamed Lusankya and buried beneath Coruscant's surface to serve as the Emperor's private getaway
vessel. Due to the strategic importance of the Kuat Drive Yards, the Empire defended the Kuat system with
fifteen Star Destroyers after the Battle of Endor, and rigged the stardocks with explosives in case it was
necessary to scuttle them. Kuati nobles use telbuns -- human breeders -- to sire their children. Telbuns are
are taken from the Kuati middle class and raised to excel at physical, social, and academic pursuits. At the
appropriate age they are given ranks reflecting their scores on a series of genetic, intelligence, and other
breeding-related tests. The families of the legendary Kuat merchant houses then purchase an appropriate
telbun and pay the family for their trouble. The resulting child is considered a full heir of the merchant
family. The telbun stays on to raise the child, but is not considered a blood relative and is typically treated
with indifference or outright scorn. Captain Nalgol of the Star Destroyer Tyrannic was a member of Kuat
nobility, and was known to wear a Kuat poison injector ring. The rings have been used among the nobility
for centuries as a means of eliminating one's enemies. General Melvar, a member of Warlord Zsinj's
organization, was also a native of Kuat. During the later years of the Galactic Civil War, Kuat Drive Yards
was headed by Kuat of Kuat, KDY's hereditary CEO and chief designer. Jabba the Hutt commissioned
many of his personal items directly from KDY, and Kuat of Kuat placed hidden recording devices in most
of these in order to keep tabs on his enemy. Just after Jabba's death on Tatooine, Kuat of Kuat ordered a
bombing raid on the area surrounding the Great Pit of Carkoon in order to ensure the death of Boba Fett.
Following the fall of Ysanne Isard, Kuat was controlled by Isard's successors in the Empire.
Approximately four years after Endor, Warlord Zsinj made a strike on the Kuat Drive Yards in order to steal
a Super Star Destroyer, the Razor's Kiss, which was currently in production. Zsinj succeeded, but the
Razor's Kiss was destroyed soon afterwards by New Republic forces. [SWS, ISWU, XWRS, XWWG,

Ku'Bakai system
The Ku'Bakai system is named for its blue giant star, whose unpredictable solar flares have left the first
four planets of the system scorched and lifeless. The fifth planet, Kubindi, is the homeworld of the Kubaz.
The sixth, eighth, and eleventh planets house insect farms for the Kubaz to use in preparing their unique
cuisine. [MTS]

Kubindi
Kubindi, the fifth planet in the Ku'Bakai system, is the homeworld of the insect-loving Kubaz. Due to the
unpredictable solar flares of Ku'Bakai, Kubindi suffers baths of intense radiation and constantly-changing
weather patterns. The adaptability of insects have made them particularly successful lifeforms on Kubindi,
and be found in many varieties including the bantha-sized sun-beetle. Insects are considered a true delicacy
on Kubindi, and the civilized, cultured Kubaz have organized their society around insect trading circles.
Kubaz families farm designer insect hives and trade with others; the largest trading families make most
planetary governmental decisions. Kubaz chefs often practice selective breeding and genetic engineering
on their insects to create better varieties of food. Kubindi is isolated and seldom sees galactic traffic. As a
result, many Kubaz are attempting to develop their own starship technology. Garindan, the Mos Eisley spy
known as "Long Snoot," was a Kubaz. Several years after the Battle of Endor, the Kubaz negotiated with
the Barabel to purchase Verpine body parts to use in their cuisine. [GG4, MTS, COPL, POT]

Kud'ar Mub'at's web

The enormous spiderweb inhabited by the assembler Kud'ar Mub'at is a self-contained spacegoing structure
resembling a long tapered cylinder. Scavenged transport engines provide movement, while other bits of
junked machinery are visible through the multiple layers of thick fibrous strands. The web material, spun
from Kud'ar Mub'at's own body and composing a vast expanded network of communication neurons and
structural strands, is white when new but has become a dirty gray over the years. The web's interior is
made up of many branching corridors connecting the landing snare, the sub-chambers where prisoners are
stored, and the central chamber (large enough for human to stand in) where Kud'ar Mub'at normally rests.
The spiderlike assembler possesses a chitinous exoskeleton, compound eyes, clacking mandibles, and a
near-spherical abdomen. Various tasks and duties within the web are handled by single-purpose semi-
sentient nodes, created by Kud'ar Mub'at and tethered to the web by extendible neurofibers. Lookout
possesses a huge lens and is used for exterior observation. Calculator has vestigial legs and is used to
interpret data. Identifier is a mobile node with the ability to classify things according to an internal
database. Balancesheet is a crab-like accountant node responsible for Kud'ar Mub'at's finances. Signaler is
a long snakelike node whose glowing green lights show arriving ships where to dock. Docker and the
Handler twins secure ships against the web's entry port with their vacuum-adapted scaled tentacles.
Listener is a huge tympanic membrane for audio purposes. Multiple vocal assemblies, scattered throughout
the web, act as remote mouths so Kud'ar Mub'at can speak from a distance. Finally, the central chamber
contains a bed node that is little more than a large cushion.

Kud'ar Mub'at, the only member of his species known to the galaxy, treats his nodes like children and can
absorb and re-form them at any time, though they become more intelligent with age. Long ago it appears
that there was another assembler and Kud'ar Mub'at served as one of its nodes, but he became intelligent
enough to overthrow and devour his parent. Since he became the new assembler Kud'ar Mub'at has carved
out a valuable niche as a neutral third-party negotiator for the criminal underworld. He accepts bounty
merchandise and delivers payments for any number of clients, including the Hutts and the Bounty Hunters
Guild. Soon after the Battle of Yavin, Boba Fett delivered a bounty named Nil Posondum to Kud'ar
Mub'at's web, where the spiderlike assembler hired him to join the Bounty Hunters Guild in an elaborate
scheme orchestrated by Prince Xizor. [MA]

Kushibah
Located in the Outer Rim, Kushibah is home to the tiny, fur-covered alien species known as the Kushibans.
The planet is famous for its beautiful weaving products which are made by the Kushibans by combining
silkweed and their own fur. Centuries ago, the Jedi Master Yoda came to Kushibah and recruited a native
student, Ikrit, to train as a Jedi. After a year of training, Ikrit returned to his homeworld and saved his
village from a herd of three-meter xinkra. Ikrit later became a Jedi Master and helped Anakin Solo at the
Jedi academy on Yavin 4. [JJK2]

Kutag
Located within the Koornacht Cluster in the Farlax sector, Kutag (also known as Doornik-881) was the
location of a droid-operated Imperial factory farm. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, Yevethan forces
seized Kutag and several other Koornacht colony worlds in what they called the Great Purge. [SOL]

Kwenn Station
A space station, containing the Royal K Casino, where Jabba the Hutt acquired his pet Kowakian Lizard-
Monkey, Salacious Crumb. Meysen Kayson, wealthy owner of the Greel Wood Logging Corporation in the
Pii system, also owns a sizable percentage of Kwenn station. [MTS, SWAJ]
Laakteen Depot
Laakteen Depot was the Alliance base closest to Fondor, around the time of the Battle of Yavin. It took the
Alliance almost a year to capture the depot, which was subsequently wiped out by the Super Star Destroyer
Executor during the ship's maiden voyage. [CSW]

Laboi II
A small planet orbiting the red giant Er'Dox Kaan, Laboi II has an extremely slow, retrograde rotation
which means that one side of the planet faces the sun for almost 2,020 hours at a time. The side facing the
sun becomes so hot it melts rock and the night side is cooled to sub-zero temperatures, though these effects
are lessened somewhat by temperature-distributing wind storms. There is no plant life on Laboi II, but
there are many animal species including the highly intelligent aliens known as the Laboi. The carnivorous,
aggressive Laboi, who can survive the extreme temperature differences of their planet, primarily hunt the
bantha-sized ovolyan. Laboi, who appear to be fur-covered snakes, make up for their lack of manipulative
appendages with a limited telekinetic ability that may be linked to the Force. Laboi II's main export is
Laboian mineral crystals, which are popular in the Core Worlds. [GG4]

Lafra
Home planet of the humanoid aliens called Lafrarians. The gray-skinned Lafrarians have vestigial soaring
membranes, feathery growths on their heads, and a keen sense of flying skills and spatial relationships. The
planet has a variety of terrain, and most Lafrarian settlements are built into mountainsides and on treetops.
One of Doc's "outlaw-techs" was a Lafrarian. While on a mission to Belsavis, Han Solo watched the final
puttie game of the series between Lafra and Gathus. [HSSE, CSSB, COTJ]

Lahara sector
The Lahara sector, located in the Outer Rim, contains the planet Agamar. [FP]

Lambda sector
The domain of Imperial Moff Par Lankin, a warlord who set up his own private Empire in the chaos
following the Battle of Endor. [SWAJ]

Lamuir IV
The normally serious, sensible world of Lamuir IV erupts in a week of parties, parades and dramas during
the famous, planet-wide Priole Danna festival. The annual celebration has been a tradition for thousands of
years, and attracts revelers from all over the galaxy. One of the festival's greatest attractions is the five-day
Anapolla Musical Splash, an eclectic concert of varying styles, where many up-and-coming musicians are
first discovered. During the celebration, the priceless antique pistols belonging to jatz musician Fitz Roi
were stolen by the Tombat, a mysterious art and jewel thief. The planet's municipalities include Gryle City.
[SWAJ]

Lan system
The remote Lan system, consisting of five planets orbiting the large orange star Lan, is located over three
days travel past the Outer Rim terminus of the Enarc Run. The system was first scouted by the Old
Republic over 1300 years ago, and the mining conglomerate Gaminne Group, Inc. arrived soon after to
exploit the system's ore-rich inner planets. The system's five worlds are Lesser Galam, Lan Fellov, Lan
Tundi, Lan Barell, and Greater Galam. [SWAJ]

Lan Barell
The fourth planet in the Lan system, Lan Barell is a remote, desolate world home to the small insectoid
aliens known as the Qieg. The planet is an arid desert, with most of its moisture found in two thin polar ice
caps. The habitable land lies atop three vast, blue-tinged plateaus, which are separated by toxic, ash-filled
lowlands. Lan Barell's economy is based on the sales of valuable ore to Mid-Rim communities. The planet
once had three moons, but one of the satellites has been broken into rubble due to massive strip mining
operations. The world's population includes eight million humans and nearly 135 million native Qieg, who
live in colony nests built inside hollowed-out cacti. The Qiemal, a radical sect of militant Qieg, dislike all
humans and cling to their old-fashioned ways deep within the cacti forests. Predatory, canine dingories, a
natural enemy of the Qieg, are the main source of food for all of the planet's inhabitants.

The major city of Lan Barell is Shulell, an eclectic mixture of human and Qieg species and structures.
Shulell encompasses the planet's only spaceport, the center of the Lan Barellian government within the
Quilan Hive, and the district known as the Grill. The Quilan Hive is a 5000 year-old network of cacti
settlements tied together with stone walls, and is the base of operations for the Human-Qieg Guild (a
consortium of mining operations that runs the planet). The Grill, a bustling black-market district, is a haven
for refugees and exiles and contains a small Rebel Alliance cell. The small community of Carmelle is
located about twenty kilometers from Shulell.

Nearly 1300 years ago, the mining conglomerate Gaminne Group, Inc. purchased mining rights to the ore-
rich inner planets from the Qieg, and built Shulell City on Lan Barell. The system was officially taken over
by the Empire fifteen years ago, but the Empire has not bothered with direct control. Due to its extreme
isolation, Lan Barell is now a refuge for smugglers and refugees trying to avoid the Empire's attentions.
[SWAJ]

Lan Fellov
The second planet in the remote Lan system, Lan Fellov is a barren rock world with a single moon.
[SWAJ]

Lan Tundi
The third planet in the remote Lan system, Lan Tundi is a barren rock world with four moons. [SWAJ]

Lanthrym
Located in the Elrood sector. Outlaw stations on Lanthrym will service any ship, including those belonging
to pirates and wanted criminals. The criminal Morana Fal, who had escaped from the Soruus system with a
suit of prototype battle armor, was last sighted on Lanthrym. [SWAJ]

Lar
An orange star orbited by Mima II, homeworld of the Bilars. [GG4]

Laramus
An Imperial convoy was leaving Laramus when it was ambushed by a Rebel cruiser, several shuttles, and
X-wing fighters. None of the Imperial transports were able to escape the Laramus system, and the Rebels
captured all 14 without any losses. [SWS]

Lavisar
Lavisar, one of several planets in the Lavisar system, is a misshapen lump of reddish-brown rock with dark
seas orbiting an average yellow star. The world was once part of a massive high-gravity planet that was
annihilated by asteroid impacts; Lavisar and its moons were among the largest chunks to survive. The
planet lies just outside of Warlord Zsinj's territory but its inhabitants have a fiercely autonomous attitude.
The Empire quickly lost control of Lavisar after the Battle of Endor and the world is now officially
independent, ruled by Planetary Governor Carmal. Lavisar's most profitable industries include the mining
and refining of heavy metals and the planet also supports a moderate shipbuilding industry. The main port
city is Syward, which contains a military base stocked with TIE fighters for local planetary defense (more
defensive fighters are stationed on the planet's largest moon). Syward also is the home base for Skyrung
Manufacturing, a manufacturer of Lambda-class shuttles. Approximately four years after the Battle of
Endor, Warlord Zsinj planted a false report that a unit of his Raptor soldiers were stationed in the Skyrung
construction plant. Zsinj hoped to fool the New Republic into thinking that Lavisar was under his control,
and thus trigger a New Republic attack against a neutral world. The New Republic uncovered the ruse and
decided to play along, sending down a sabotage team that intentionally bungled the destruction of Lavisar's
main sensor station, while agents covertly monitored the results and informed Governor Carmal that Zsinj
was trying to set him up. Rogue and Wraith Squadrons participated in the staged space battle, which turned
real when the New Republic fighters were ambushed by Lavisar defenders from the lunar garrison.
[XWIF]

Lazerian IV
Lazerian IV, in the Lazerian system, contains the city of Lazeria and serves as one endpoint of the Kira
Run. The recent interest in the Kira Run by mainstream corporations is expected to greatly help the
system's economy. [SWAJ]

Lekua system
Osuno Whett is Associate Professor of Comparative Sapient Studies in the Lekua system. He goes by the
title of "ottdefa," given in the system to distinguished scientific or academic teachers. [LCMH, LCSC]

Lelmra
A temporary base for Senator Garm Bel Iblis' private army. While on Lelmra, a violent thunderstorm
triggered the "flip-flop" on several buildings made of memory plastic, which folded them up with nearly
fifty people still inside. The smuggler Mazzic had a backup base for his organization on Lelmra. [DFR,
LC]

Lenniera
The controversial jatz musician Fitz Roi had a family estate on Lenniera, where he lived until relocating to
Calamar on Esseles. [SWAJ]

Lequabis system
After the Battle of Hoth, Alliance operatives were sent to the Inner Rim and Expansion Region, to search
for tibanna gas deposits on gas giant planets in the Lequabis, K'taktaxka, Poviduze, and Kelavine systems
and the Shasfath Cluster. [SWAJ]

Leria Kerlsil
Leria Kerlsil is a backwater world, but is pleasant, clean, and quiet. Its capital city's streets are lined with
blue and purple trees, and the city is adjacent to a well-maintained spaceport. The planet is the only source
of "life-witches" -- those who can sustain another's failing life for years but eventually withdraw support,
causing that person to die. Life-witches appear rarely and are born seemingly at random. Karia Ver
Seryan, a wealthy woman who lives in a large, well-defended mansion, was one of Lando Calrissian's
marriage candidates until he discovered she was a life-witch. [AAC]

Lesser Galam
The first planet in the remote Lan system, Lesser Galam is a moonless rock seared by its nearby sun.
[SWAJ]

Lesser Plooriod Cluster

The Lesser Plooriod Cluster contains the Ottega system, site of the planet Ithor. After leaving the
Corporate Sector, Han Solo and Chewbacca ran an unsuccessful Military-Script exchange scam in the
Cluster. Following the Battle of Yavin, an Alliance ship dropped a badly-needed grain container in the
Lesser Plooriod Cluster in an attempt to escape an Imperial attack. [HSLL, SWS, FP]
Lianna
The manufacturing world Lianna instituted home rule following the Empire's defeat at the Battle of Endor.
The New Republic respected the planet's new non-aligned status, but Imperial reprisals on Lianna for
treason seemed inevitable. Lady Santhe, head of the powerful Santhe/Sienar manufacturing corporation,
threatened to cut off Lianna's production of TIE fighters unless the planet was left alone. This threat, along
with secret payments to the local Moff, resulted in Lianna receiving a special charter of secession from the
Empire. One of the products manufactured after Lianna's secession was the compact but powerful TIE
tank, also called the Century tank. The inhabitants of the planet are called Lianns. [DESB]

Linuri
The site of a former confrontation between Senator Garm Bel Iblis' private army and the forces of Grand
Admiral Thrawn. Apparently, Thrawn's forces did some damage to Bel Iblis' men or scared them out of the
system. [DFR]

Liok
The Shadow Traproom on Liok is considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the modern
era. Two researchers, Dreiss and Mokem, died in the Traproom while investigating it. [TT]

Lomabu III
Located near the Aida system, Lomabu III is one of six planets in the Lomabu system, all of which have
erratic orbits around their orange primary. It has one moon and is covered with oceans and lengthy
archipelagoes. Prior to the Battle of Hoth, the planet was depopulated by the Empire for its rebellious
activities. Soon after Hoth, in an effort to trap Alliance agents, Io Desnand (Imperial governor of the Aida
system) shipped several hundred Wookiees to the planet and planned to kill them in a staged attack to
attract Rebel rescuers. The prison was located on a peninsula on the east shore of one archipelago, near a
dense jungle and the crumbling ruins of an abandoned Lomabuan city. Where the peninsula met the
mainland was what appeared to be a stretch of sand -- in reality, it was a colony of tiny creatures that would
devour anything that touched them. Immediately after Hoth, the bounty hunters Chenlambec and Tinian
I'att convinced Bossk to search for Han Solo in the Lomabu system. According to their cover story, a group
of Wookiees was trying to establish a secure colony on the planet. When they arrived at the planet, Tinian
and Chen successfully doublecrossed Bossk and rescued the Wookiee prisoners. [TBH]

Loovria
The Sludir slavelord known as Big Quince once fought in the gladiator pits of Loovria, and still carries his
gladiator's force pike as a reminder of his time there. [SWAJ]

Lorahns
The planet Lorahns is controlled by a strict religious oligarchy of the Ffib sect. The bounty hunter Boba
Fett once earned a 500,000 credit reward for capturing Nivek'Yppiks, a Ffib heretic wanted by Lorahns'
leaders. [TFJP]

Loronar
The location of the Loronar space construction center, one of the facilities used by the Emperor to build his
largest warships and special weapons platforms. [ISWU]

Lorrd
A planet located in the Kanz sector. Four thousand years ago during the Kanz Disorders, Lorrd was
bombed from orbit and its human inhabitants enslaved by the Argazdans. The Lorrdians, forbidden by their
masters to communicate verbally, developed an advanced system of kinetic communication through
gestures and facial expressions. After nearly three centuries, the Lorrdians were finally freed from
servitude by the Jedi Knights. The planet's inhabitants have retained many of their non-verbal
communication patterns and are among the galaxy's best mimics. Hart-and-Parn Gorra-Fiolla, Assistant
Auditor-General of the Corporate Sector, was a Lorrdian. The Imperial child actor Garik "Face" Loran's
family was originally from Lorrd. After Loran disappeared in a supposed Alliance kidnapping raid, he
traveled to Lorrd and from there joined the Rebel Alliance. [HSR, CSSB, XWWS]

Loth
Organocrystalline structures, a possible form of primitive life in the oceans of Stroiketcy, have been

Lucaya system
Located in the Corporate Sector, the Lucaya system contains Ession as its fourth planet. [XWWS]

Lucazec
Lucazec is an arid, pale brown planet that served as the former home of the Fallanassi, a religious sect
following the White Current. Arriving ships that land on Lucazec's North Plateau are serviced by a small
airfield, and can dock in Hangar Kaa. (Five hundred kilometers away are The Towers, the only region of
Lucazec with proper docking bays for spacecraft.) Hastings Watershed is a hilly region in the North
Plateau with many villages and settlements built wherever there is a constant water source. From the North
Plateau airfield the villages of Jisasu and Big Hill can be reached via the East District Trail or the shorter
Crown Pass Road. Ialtra Trail, branching off of Crown Pass Road, leads to the now-abandoned village of
Ialtra. It was here that the Fallanassi lived, in a community of over thirty buildings built in ring dwellings
and circle houses. Medicinal crops grew under translucent domes and the town was decorated by gardens,
colored tiled walls, an enclosed pond, and an open-air amphitheater. Ialtra is now abandoned and its
buildings have been vandalized. Lucazec's inhabitants commonly cross the planet's surface in boxy, two-
seated utility vehicles with oversized wheels. Animal life on the planet includes carrion birds called
nackhawns.

Years ago, one of the Fallanassi, Isela Talsava Norand, revealed the sect's existence to Lucazec's Imperial
governor. The Empire immediately realized the potential of the unique Fallanassi skill with the White
Current, which is similar to the Jedi use of the Force. General Tagge approached Wialu, leader of the
Fallanassi, to offer the Empire's protection in exchange for an oath of loyalty. When Wialu refused, Tagge's
agents stirred up resentment towards the Fallanassi among the people of Lucazec by burning homes and
poisoning drinking water, then laying the blame on the Fallanassi. Talsava was banished from the Circle
for her betrayal, and took her daughter Akanah with her to Carratos. Soon after, the sect abandoned Ialtra
and left Lucazec, eventually settling on J't'p'tan. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, Luke Skywalker
and the Fallanassi woman Akanah visited Lucazec to find clues about Luke's mother. [BTS, TT]

Lumea
An orange star orbited by twelve planets in the Sevarcos system. [SWAJ]

Lur
An icy planet with slightly higher than standard gravity, Lur is located just outside the borders of the
Corporate Sector. The upper layers of Lur's atmosphere are heavily ionized, which creates intense
electrical storms. This, when combined with Lur's gale-force winds and freezing temperatures, makes
starship landings often hazardous. The fur-covered, bipedal inhabitants of Lur have an innate expertise in
genetic manipulation and live in cities of a few thousand each. They are peaceful and sociable, and very
few ever choose to leave their homeworld. The frozen planet has many lifeforms, some of which were
genetically engineered by the Lurrians: noahounds are used as guards, grebnar herds are used for food, and
asgnat swarms burrow subterranean cities from the hearts of glaciers. Due to the remarkable abilities of
Lur's inhabitants, the Empire quarantined the planet. Unfortunately this has proven ineffective against
slavers, who can sell the Lurrians for four to six thousand apiece on the Invisible Market. Han Solo and
Chewbacca were unwillingly involved in a Lurrian slavery operation during their early adventuring. [HSR,
CSSB]
Lweilot Asteroid Belt
Located in the Bseto system, the Lweilot Asteroid Belt occupies the third orbital position around the white
dwarf star Bseto. The Belt, 90 million kilometers wide, was once another planet in the system. [SWAJ]

Lwhekk
The homeworld of the Ssi-ruuk, in a distant star cluster. This planet is the center of the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium.
[TAB]

Lybeya system
Located within the Bajic sector of the Outer Rim, the Lybeya system contains the Vergesso Asteroids. The
Alliance built a shipyard in one of the larger asteroids, which was eliminated by Darth Vader and his fleet
prior to the Battle of Endor. [SOTE]

M2398
M2398, officially the catalog number of an uninhabited star system, contains a red and orange gas giant
designated M2398-3. In addition to a beautiful dust and asteroid ring, the gas giant is orbited by several
moons, the largest of which served as the secret base for the Blood Nest pirates. The moon's drab terrain
consists of brown mountains and red deserts, and its thin atmosphere is caused by its half-standard gravity
field. The pirates maintained observation outposts in the asteroid ring, but their primary base was an
ancient derelict Kuat Super Transport VI container ship on the moon's surface. Approximately four years
after the Battle of Endor, Warlord Zsinj's corvette Night Caller was assigned to visit a number of unaligned
rimward planetary systems and refueling rendezvous points located just outside of New Republic territory.
The schedule included Viamarr Four, Xartun, Belthu, Em-Two-Three-Nine-Eight, Todirium, Obinipor, and
Femion. After the pilots of Wraith Squadron captured the Night Caller, they arrived in the M2398 system
and were ambushed by Blood Nest pirate captain Arratan. The Wraiths were attacked by pirate fighters,
disguised laser cannons on the moon's surface, and a number of treaded attack vehicles. Pilot Jesmin
Ackbar was killed in the fighting. Following the Wraiths' victory, the New Republic repaired the pirate's
Super Transport VI and used the vessel in a mission on Ession. [XWWS]

Magagran
Located in the Outer Rim. Major Grodin Tierce, a member of the Imperial Royal Guard, was on Magagran
helping shut down a Rebel cell during the Battle of Endor. [SOTP]

Maires
An ocean planet in the Hapes Cluster, Maires is the homeworld of a water-breathing alien species known as
the Mairans. The large, tentacled Mairans can leave the sea for brief periods, but must spray seawater on
their black, rubbery skin to keep it moist. They speak a strange musical language by blowing into drilled
shells. The Mairans have long been rivals with the inhabitants of the planet Vergill. Nineteen years after
the Battle of Endor, the Vergills began an undersea ditanium mining operation on the planet Hapes, next to
the newly-opened Mairan consulate. The Mairans filed an official protest against the noise and mining
debris stirred up by the Vergills’ actions, but in reality they had deliberately placed their consulate near the
richest vein of ditanium in order to spark a confrontation. [YJK]

Mall'ordian
A planet in the Corporate Sector. Mall'ordian is one of the stops made by the luxury liner Lady of Mindor
during its voyage from Roonadan to Ammuud. [CSSB]

Maltorr?
The possible homeworld of the insect-like alien species referred to as Maltorrans. A stocky Maltorran was
killed during the attack of Xim's war-robots on Dellalt. [HSLL]

Mandalore system
Four thousand years ago, the Mandalore system was home to a group of fierce masked warrior clans led by
a mysterious warlord called Mandalore. The clans, made up of deadly but honorable crusaders, rode semi-
intelligent Basilisk war droids, boasted cutting-edge weaponry, and were considered to be the best fighters
in the entire galaxy. The mask and title of "Mandalore" belonged to no single individual, but were
traditionally passed down from one warrior to the next in the event of their leader's death. During the Sith
War, the Mandalorians conquered the Kuar system and struck at the neighboring Teta system, forcing the
Tetan leader Ulic Qel-Droma to battle Mandalore in single combat. Mandalore was defeated, and he swore
his armies' allegiance to Qel-Droma and the Krath forces. The warlord was made Qel-Droma's war
commander, and his clans won many victories for their new leader. At the close of the Sith War, however,
Mandalore's armies were defeated in their attempt to capture the planet Onderon. Mandalore and his
surviving warriors were forced to flee to the Dxun moon, where Mandalore was killed by a pair of the
moon's deadly beasts and a new warrior donned his mask and assumed his title.

Millennia later, the warlike Mandalore people exterminated the Ithullan race, several hundred years before
the Battle of Yavin. During the Clone Wars, a group of warriors from the system were defeated by the Jedi
Knights. The notorious bounty hunter Boba Fett wears an armored suit similar to those worn by these
Mandalore warriors, and his alternate ship Slave II is based on a Mandalorian police ship design. The
warriors are still regarded as legendarily ruthless, though they were considered extinguished around the
time of the Battle of Yavin. Imperial dungeon ships were originally designed by the Mandalorians, and
were introduced during the Jedi purge to contain dangerous force users. Mandalorian battle harnesses are
designed to be operated by R2 units, and Freedon Nadd's tomb on Dxun was constructed from Mandalorian
iron. Other products from the system include the alcoholic beverage called Mandalorian Narcolethe.

Mantessa
The home of dangerous predators called panthacs. Han Solo and Chewbacca had an encounter with these
animals while on Mantessa. [LC]

Mantooine
Mantooine, in the system of the same name, is located in the Atrivis sector in the Outer Rim. The
government of Mantooine considers spice smuggling to be a capital offense. Years ago, a group of
Mantooine freedom fighters called the Liberators were massacred by the Empire when they took refuge in a
captured Imperial base. If the group had been allied with another resistance group in the nearby Fest
system, however, the Liberators could have been warned of the coming strike fleet and taken cover in
Mantooine's impenetrable forests. This example of the benefits of communication helped build a strong
case for a single, unified Rebel Alliance. In a separate incident, the probe droid D-127X's self-sacrifice
may have saved Mantooine from an Imperial surprise attack. [FP, SWAJ]

Markbee's Star
The fourth planet orbiting the star is Zeffliffl, home to the seaweed-like aliens sharing its name. [CS]

where he attended the Thene campus. [SWAJ]
Masposhani
According to Beldorian the Hutt, Jedi Knights used to train in the subterranean Caves of Masposhani.
[POT]

Matra VI
The gunman Gallandro, hired by Odumin to bring down the Malorm family, killed the group after luring
them to Matra VI. This earned Gallandro the wrath of the Assassins Guild, who claimed to have an
exclusive contract on the Malorm family. [CSSB]

Mattri asteroids
Garm Bel Iblis' private army had a temporary base in the Mattri asteroids during their hit-and-fade attacks
against the Empire. [DFR]

Maw
The Maw is a cluster of black holes near the planet Kessel, visible due to the ionized gasses that are drawn
into them. The cluster is destined to swallow the entire Kessel system in another thousand years. Just past
the Maw is a debris-scattered sector of space known as the Pit. The existence of a black hole cluster has led
to several theories about its origin, including the idea that the Maw was constructed by an ancient and
powerful alien race. Hidden in the center of the Maw is the secret Imperial weapons-research base known
as Maw Installation, established by Grand Moff Tarkin (without the Emperor's knowledge) and guarded by
Admiral Daala's four Star Destroyers. The scientists at Maw Installation developed both a prototype Death
Star and the feared Sun Crusher, though both weapons and the installation itself were destroyed during a
battle with New Republic forces. [JS, COTF, HG]

Mayagil sector
The Bith homeworld of Clak'dor VII is located in the Mayagil sector. [GG4]

Mayro
A resort world in the Corporate Sector. Torm Dadeferron, inheritor of the Kail Ranges, was first
approached by undercover Corporate Sector police while visiting Mayro. [CSSB]

Mechis III
A harsh, smoke-shrouded world covered with sprawling droid-producing factories. Mechis III has been
producing automata for generations, and is considered to possibly be the most important of all the galaxy's
droid plants. New assembly lines are self-created by various droid brains, and the planet was once
overseen by only seventy-three human observers. Mechis III's administration office is located at the apex
of a gleaming tower, where Hekis Durumm Perdo Kolokk Baldikarr Thun formerly managed all the
factories' operations. Prior to the Battle of Hoth, the assassin droid IG-88 and his duplicates arrived at
Mechis III and seized it, winning every droid over to their cause and orchestrating the murders of every
human inhabitant of the planet. No one in the outside galaxy realized what had happened, and droid
production continued with hidden programming that, at the appropriate signal, would trigger a robotic
takeover of the galaxy. Darth Vader later came to the planet to order a new shipment of Arakyd Viper
probots. IG-88 later ordered the Mechis III factories to produce a duplicate of the second Death Star's
computer core, and his droid consciousness was destroyed along with the battle station at Endor.
Eventually Tyko Thul arrived on the planet and purged the rogue virus from all systems. Under Thul's
leadership, Mechis III has become the most productive droid-manufacturing center in the New Republic.
[TBH, YJK2]

Mendicat
Imperial General Sulamar, who worked with Durga the Hutt on the Darksaber project, was known to boast
of successfully commanding the Massacre of Mendicat without losing a single stormtrooper. In actuality,
Mendicat was merely a scrap mining and recycling station, which was destroyed when Sulamar incorrectly
programmed the station's orbital computers. [DS]

Mengjini
The site of a New Republic signal relay. Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, the Mengjini relay was
attacked by a small group of terrorists -- possibly the Vengeance group -- protesting Bothan complicity in
the Caamas incident. [SOTP]

Mennaalii system
A convoy carrying Rebel troops was passing through the Mennaalii system when it was forced to exit
hyperspace to avoid an asteroid field. Here it was ambushed by a group of pirates, but was rescued by an

Mepha'as Prime
The Outer Rim smuggler Jin-Jin won half a million credits in the Arenas of Mepha'as Prime, but lost it all
when his real-estate investment on Alderaan was destroyed along with the planet. [SWAJ]

Meridian sector
The lightly-populated Meridian sector is located in the Outer Rim and borders the Imperially-held
Antemeridian sector, far from major trade routes. It contains several New Republic planets (including Nim
Drovis and Budpock) and two Republic fleet bases (at Durren and Cybloc XII), but most of the sector
remains neutral. The Meridian sector also contains the Spangled Veil Nebula, the Odos systems
(containing Odos), the Chorios systems (containing Nam Chorios, Pedducis Chorios, and Brachnis
Chorios), and the planets Ampliquen, Damonite Yors-B, Exodo II, and King's Galquek. Most of the
remaining worlds in the sector are lifeless and barren, including the planet Meridias. Nine years after the
Battle of Endor, Leia Organa Solo made a secret visit to the Meridian sector to meet with Seti Ashgad.
After Ashgad unleashed the Death Seed plague on Leia's escort ships, the plague spread across three
quarters of the sector. At the same time, the forces of Moff Getelles of the Antemeridian sector, bolstered
with Loronar Corporation's CCIR needle fighters, invaded the Meridian sector, aided by Loronar-backed
rebellions occurring on many of the local planets. Getelles was forced to retreat at the Battle of Nam
Chorios. [POT]

Meridias
Located in the Meridian sector, Meridias is a lifeless world that has been dead for several centuries. The
world was once the home planet of the Grissmath Dynasty (who shipped their political prisoners to Nam
Chorios) until an unknown catastrophe turned the world into a radioactive wasteland. [POT]

Merisee
Merisee, known for its medicine and agriculture, is home to two intelligent alien species -- the Teltiors and
the Meris. Meris are tall, blue-skinned humanoids with webbed hands and a prominent brow ridge; Teltiors
are similar in appearance but lack the ridge. Meris have an innate ability to predict the weather. Honn
Dangel, a Meris meteorologist in Bespin's Cloud City, gained his current post after leaving the Merisee
military. The smuggler Mirax Terrik used the false identity Merisee Hope for her ship the Pulsar Skate
during an undercover mission to Coruscant. The Merisee Hope is actually a slave-runner for a brothel in
Coruscant's Invisible Sector. [GG2, XWWG]

Metellos system
Lying very close to the Coruscant system. When the revived Empire began its conquest of the Metellos and
Kaikielius systems six years after the Battle of Endor, New Republic leaders on Coruscant began to search
for a new base of operations. [DESB]

M'haeli
M'haeli, an agrarian planet with several moons, is a well-situated refueling point for several nearby
systems. The capital city is N'croth, where Governor Grigor rules from the Imperial garrison. The planet's
population is made up of two primary species -- human colonists and native H'drachi. Each year the
H'drachi hold a mid-summer conclave where they consult the timestream for news of the future. Sights on
M'haeli include W'eston Falls, Demon's Brow, and a secret mine of valuable Dragite crystals located in the
D'olop Range (which includes Selon Mountain).

Years ago, an off-world attack led by Grigor devastated the palace of the human ruling house and paved the
way for the planet's takeover by the Empire. Mora, infant heir to the ruling house, was abandoned during
the attack and adopted by the H'drachi seer Ch'no. Seventeen years later, the Imperial pilot Ranulf
Trommer was assigned as a spy to M'haeli and uncovered an illegal Dragite mining operation being run by
Governor Grigor. Ixidro Legorburu, an intelligence officer stationed on the cruiser Glorious twelve years
after the Battle of Endor, was a native of M'haeli. [ROC, SOL]

Miglar 2
The Nikto assassin Ma'w'shiye suffered injuries in a speeder bike accident on Miglar 2, where he lost the
facial horns characteristic of the Nikto species. [SWAJ]

Mima II
A small, tropical world orbiting the orange sun Lar. Mima II has a fast rotation and year, and very unstable
tectonic plates which are drawn across the planet's surface by the nearby gravitational influence of Lar.
Mima II is abundant with plant and animal life, and the sentient Bilars inhabit the lush jungles. The Bilars,
pink-skinned, timid vegetarians, are unique in that they can form group minds called claqas. While one
Bilar is about as intelligent as a rodent, claqas of six or seven Bilars approach genius-level intelligence.
The Bilars have developed sophisticated technology, but there is little on Mima II that is useful in galactic
trade. [GG4]

Mimban (Circarpous V)
The fifth planet in the Circarpous system, the cloud-covered swamp world of Circarpous V is often referred
to by its local name of Mimban. The planet is largely unexplored, save for a single expedition by
Circarpousian xenoarcheologists and an early Imperial scouting survey. The rainy world is a lush green
crisscrossed with muddy brown rivers, and is teeming with many forms of life including the bloodsucking
leech. The foliage is concentrated in dense clumps which leaves plenty of open space for travel, though the
incautious can sink to their deaths in pockets of thick gray mud. Mimban was never colonized by the
Circarpousians, but the Empire secretly established a mining operation on the planet without the knowledge
of the system's inhabitants. The Empire's miners live in five makeshift towns, and perform their work with
energy drills. These drills, illegal on populated worlds, create harmful fallout and are a serious hazard for
arriving ships, since they shunt their excess electrical charges into the sky.

At least three intelligent Mimban species are known to exist on the planet -- the large-eyed "greenies" who
beg in the mining towns for alcohol; the thin gray Coway who live underground, and an unnamed furry
species with four legs and four arms. The mysterious, long-extinct species known as the Thrella are
believed to have built the hundreds of temples and cities that dot the damp surface of Mimban. "Thrella
wells," near-bottomless shafts surrounded by interlocking hexagonal stones, often have side passages called
Coway shafts, leading to the underground world of the Coway. One particular Coway shaft, lit by a type of
luminous fungi, contains a vast subterranean lake which the Coway cross on large lilypad plants. The lake
houses a dangerous, amorphous pseudopod-creature, and an abandoned Thrella city is located on the lake's
far edge. This shaft's 200 Coway live in a primitive village built in a huge natural amphitheater. Their
tribes are ruled by a triumvirate of leaders, who appeal to their god Canu for judgment on important
matters. One of the world's more dangerous animals are the huge pale worms called wandrellas, who have
black eye-spots surrounding a gaping mouth and are too stupid to be slowed by most attacks. Imperial
control of Mimban was entrusted to Captain-Supervisor Grammel, who ruled from the Imperial planetary
headquarters built into an ancient towering ziggurat. The legendary Kaiburr crystal, rumored to have
properties that focus and intensify the Force, was located deep in the jungle, in the temple of a minor local
god named Pomojema. The powerful crystal rested within a ceremonial statue of the god, and was guarded
by a sluggish but deadly lizard-creature. Soon after the Battle of Yavin, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia,
and the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO crashed on Mimban while traveling to a conference on Circarpous IV.
After facing many dangers, including a showdown with Darth Vader, the Rebels were able to retrieve the
Kaiburr crystal and leave Mimban. One of the bacta tankers operating out of the planet Thyferra is named
the Mimban Cloudrider. [SME, GOF, XWBW]

Mindabaal
A politically influential world in the system of the same name, Mindabaal was the birthplace of the
notorious Outer Rim smuggling sisters Josephine and Jericho. The rebellious Jericho attended the
Mindabaal Royal Academy boarding school and later escaped, while Josephine began a distinguished
career in the Mindabaal Diplomatic Corps. While on a mission to formalize Mindabaal's official entry into
the Empire, Ambassador Josephine was kidnapped by her sister. The two later returned to their homeworld
only to find it devastated by an Imperial orbital bombardment, at which point the sisters began working the
smuggling trade together. [SWAJ]

Mindar
Han Solo and Princess Leia Organa once shared rations on a Mindar battlefield, amid the dead bodies of
Imperial stormtroopers. [COPL]

Mindavar system
A group of settlers in the Mindavar system were almost completely wiped out when a deadly virus spread
through their colony. The smuggler Reina Gale lost her parents to the virus when she was only an infant.
[SWAJ]

Minos Cluster
Located on the fringes of known space, the Minos Cluster contains the Shesharile system. Thirteen years
after the Battle of Endor, Lando Calrissian dropped Mara Jade off at the Minos Cluster so Jade could do
some work for Talon Karrde. [SWAJ, NR]

Mirit system
The Mirit system is located only hours from the Pyria and Venjagga systems at the edge of the Galactic
Core. It contains the planet Ord Mirit, which was the site of a former Imperial base. [XWRS]

Mirshaf?
Captain Dorja, of the Star Destroyer Relentless under Grand Admiral Thrawn, was known to use an ancient
Mirshaf gesture of victory. [LC]

Miser
The innermost planet of the Bespin system, Miser is a small world lacking atmosphere but rich in valuable
metals. The planet's powerful magnetic field interferes with most electronic equipment. Miser was heavily
mined for raw materials during the construction of Bespin's Cloud City, and deep craters from the operation
can still be seen on its surface. The inhospitable temperature extremes made the mining hazardous, and
hardy Ugnaughts were needed to staff the operation. The mines have since been abandoned, and are now
infested with mynocks. The desolate planet has frequently been used over the centuries as a hideout for
smugglers and pirates. Lord Ecclessis Figg, the founder of Cloud City, once proposed a rolling mining
center that could stay permanently on the cooler, shadow side of Miser. It was never built, but it provided
the inspiration for Lando Calrissian's Nomad City mining operation on Nkllon. [HTTE, GG2]

Mneon system
The Mneon system contains the planet Geran, home of a near-human alien species. [TFJP]
Moddell sector
The Moddell sector contains the planet Endor. A report filed to Imperial Command by an Imperial scout in
the Moddell sector briefly described the previously unexplored system and dismissed the threat of the
native Ewoks. The sector is also home to an alien species called the Ayrou, one of whom represents the
Moddell sector in the New Republic senate. [SWS, SOTP]

Moltok
The oxygen-rich planet Moltok is one of the inner worlds of the Dartibek system and is the homeworld of
the Ho'Din. Active volcanoes fill Moltok's skies with ash, which helps protect the planet's surface from the
harmful effects of its sun. The Ho'Din live in the hot rainforests of the lower latitudes and have a deep
religious reverence for the plant life found there. The title "Master Gardener" is one of the highest honors a
Ho'Din can attain. Moltok is a heavy exporter of high-priced medicinal plants, but technology is
discouraged by the Ho'Din due to an early ecological catastrophe resulting from an attempt at mining. The
government on Moltok is controlled by the clergy of the dominant Dinante Fli'R religion. The Jedi master
Plett, who built a house and laboratory on Belsavis, was a native of Moltok. One Ho'Din Master Gardener,
Spero, won his title by creating a type of yellow fungus that can produce oxygen without the need for
sunlight. Spero operates a plant shop in Coruscant's Southern Underground, and often helps those who are
fighting the Empire. [GG4, COTJ, SOTE]

Monor
Located in the system of the same name in the Doldur sector. Just after the Battle of Yavin, resistance
leader Una Poot was planning to deliver a cargo of blaster carbines to the Rebels on Monor from her base
on Silver Station. [SWAJ]

Mon Calamari
Mon Calamari (sometimes called Mons Calamari or simply Calamari) is a tectonically stable world almost
entirely covered with water, and is home to both the peaceful Mon Calamari and the cautious Quarren --
over 27 billion inhabitants in all. The surface of the planet is covered with small marshy islands and
enormous floating cities that house both species, with the Quarren inhabiting the lowest, darkest levels.
These attractive constructions include Reef Home, Coral Depths, Kee-Piru, Coral City, Heurkea, and
Foamwander City. The architecture and design of the Mon Calamari have organic appearances, with
rounded edges and irregular surfaces that show their love for the natural beauty of their world. Raw ores
used in construction are mined by the Quarren (who can breathe both air and water) from domed cities on
the ocean floor. A permanent history of every event on Calamari is maintained by a community of meter-
long, bivalve mollusks, who are extremely intelligent and will communicate their knowledge with those
who ask. Massive sea-slugs in the Calamarian oceans use the Force to draw plankton into their mouths.
Other lifeforms on the planet include the dangerous predators known as krakanas -- sharklike animals with
twin pincer tentacles. The rare ultima-pearl can be found in Calamari's seabeds, and purple Quarren crystal
is a native craft that is rarely seen off the planet. The Mon Calamari philosopher Toklar is a respected
historical figure whose adages are often quoted.

The Mon Calamari had already constructed enormous starships and begun traveling space when their planet
was discovered by the Empire. The Imperials planned to enslave Calamari and, after meeting with
resistance from its natives, destroyed three of its floating cities. A Quarren, Seggor Tels, is believed to have
deliberately lowered Calamari's defenses to allow the Empire's attack; this has heightened tensions between
the Mon Calamari and the Quarren ever since. After the Empire showed its true colors, Calamarian
starships were converted into warships (becoming the backbone of the Alliance fleet) and the shipbuilding
docks in orbit around Calamari and its single moon became one of the Alliance's most important resources.
Many Calamarians were taken as slaves by the Empire including the famous Ackbar, who was forced to be
the personal servant of Grand Moff Tarkin. Ackbar was later rescued from slavery by an Alliance force and
named Admiral of the Rebel fleet. Six years after the Battle of Endor, the reborn Emperor used his World
Devastators to attack Calamari's southern territorial zone, destroying most of the cities Kee-Piru and
Heurkea. The port city of Hikahi was also damaged, harming the planet's starship-building capability. One
year after that, Leia Organa Solo visited Admiral Ackbar at his home in the seatree forest in an attempt to
bring him out of his self-imposed exile. A subsequent attack by Admiral Daala's Star Destroyers resulted in
the destruction of Reef Home City. Thirteen years after Endor, Lando Calrissian and Mara Jade spent a few
weeks together in Calamari's floating cities just prior to the crisis at Almania. In ancient times Mon
Calamari was home to a now-extinct, ten-legged crustacean known as the mammoth krabbex. Notable
residents of the planet include the Mon Calamari Jedi Knight Cilghal and two members of the famed Rogue
Squadron: Ibtisam (a Mon Calamari) and Nrin Vakil (a Quarren). [DE, GG4, SWS, DA, AAS, DESB, DS,

Moonflower Nebula
A large nebula of dust and gasses, located in the Outer Rim past the K Seven Forty-nine system. The
nebula contains two or three stars and a vast asteroid field, where the Imperial battlemoon Eye of Palpatine
lay undiscovered for thirty years. [COTJ]

Morath Nebula
The Morath Nebula is located in either the Kokash or Farlax sector and has never been properly surveyed
by the New Republic. [BTS]

Morishim
Morishim, the site of a New Republic Starfighter Base in the Outer Rim, lies close to the edge of Imperial
space and was formerly an Imperial possession. The short, furry natives are called Morish. Points of
interest to the Morishki people include the Tatmana mountains, where an abandoned Imperial spy center is
located. Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, Admiral Pellaeon tried to bring a notice of surrender to
General Garm Bel Iblis at Morishim, but the courier was destroyed before it could deliver its message.
[SOTP]

Morning Bell
Located in the Koornacht Cluster of the Farlax sector, Morning Bell is known in New Republic
astrographic charts as Doornik-319, and is known to the Yevethans as Preza. The brown and white world is
one of six planets orbiting a blue-white star. It sits on a direct line between the Yevethan capital world of
N'zoth and the New Republic capital world of Coruscant, and has a surface of hilly rolling terrain covered
with brush and scrub. It was given the name Morning Bell by a colony of Kubaz, who lived there until they
were brutally eliminated by the Yevethan military twelve years after the Battle of Endor. The day after this
action, a pair of Yevethan thrustships began colonizing Morning Bell and fortifying it as a forward base.
After Leia issued an ultimatum for Yevethan forces to withdraw from the colony worlds they had seized,
three thrustships and an Imperial Star Destroyer arrived at Morning Bell. In response, the Fifth Fleet was
sent to blockade the planet and prevent the Yevetha from using it as a forward base. When General A'baht's
ships arrived they were surprised by a ferocious Yevethan attack. As the Republic ships made bombing
runs, the Yevethans broadcast a continuous loop from hostages begging the ships not to attack or they
would be executed. Enough Republic pilots hesitated that the Yevethan ships suffered little damage, and
the Republic fleet retreated with heavy casualties. Just before the final Battle of N'zoth, the New Republic
made a feint at Morning Bell in which they suffered no losses and destroyed a Yevethan thrustship. [BTS,

Morobe system
The Morobe system contains a red/yellow binary pair of stars, and the planet Talasea is the fourth planet
orbiting the yellow primary. The system is located in the Morobe sector, which borders the Rachuk sector.
[XWRS]

Morshdine sector
Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, Luke Skywalker tried to infiltrate a pirate base in the Kauron
system. He claimed that he was working for Wesselman, who was supposed to be picking up a load of
Tibanna gas in the Morshdine sector. [SOTP]
Morvogodine
The vandfillist artist Maxa Jandovar was arrested by Imperial forces on Morvogodine. She later died in
custody. [TFTC]

Motexx
Motexx is located two sectors away from Arat Fraca, separated from Arat Fraca by the Black Nebula in
Parfadi. The starliner Star Morning, owned by the religious Fallanassi order, left Motexx a few weeks
before the Battle of Endor with a full cargo, bound for Gowdawl under a charter license. The liner then
disappeared for three hundred days, eventually showing up at Arat Fraca with empty cargo holds. [SOL]

Movris
Located in the Noonian sector. Rebel privateers, presumably operating from Movris, were able to steal
nearly a quarter of the foodstuffs being produced by Nebula Consumables in the Noonian system. [SWAJ]

Mrisst
Located less than five hours from Borleias, Mrisst lies in the GaTir system. The planet was first contacted
by the Old Republic through the Tenth Alderaanian Expedition, and one of the interesting discoveries was
that none of the dozens of Mriss cultures had developed any type of three-dimensional art. A tectonically
unstable continent is located at Mrisst's south pole, which means that it is one of the few places that the
Mrisst Trade and Science Academy hasn't set up any monitoring sensors. Approximately three years after
the Battle of Endor, Warlord Zsinj's cruiser Vengeance Derra IV was destroyed at Mrisst by the pilots of
Rogue Squadron. Two years later, the planet was a target in a planned assault by Grand Admiral Thrawn
due to its proximity to the heart of the New Republic, which also served as a lure for Thrawn to defeat the
New Republic fleet if they made a concerted effort to defend the planet. [LC, XWWG]

Msst
A small planet located near the Rim Worlds, Msst was the former site of an Imperial stronghold. The
Empire abandoned Msst after the incident at Bakura, but over the years it has continued to be used as a
rendezvous point by many Imperials. During their tenure the Empire destroyed many indigenous plant
species and forced the planetary natives to toil in Msst's crystal swamps. The world gets its peculiar name
from the damp white obscuring mist that clings closely to the ground, a substance that is generated by
floating pink jellyfish-creatures called mistmakers. The mistmakers are resilient enough to withstand
blaster fire, and feed by stinging prey with their hanging tentacles and drawing it into their ventral mouths.
After failing to infiltrate Luke Skywalker's Jedi academy on Yavin 4, the Jedi trainee Brakiss fled to Msst in
order to report to the Imperial officers who had enlisted him as a spy. Thirteen years after the Battle of
Endor, Luke Skywalker journeyed to Msst to search for Brakiss, where he found Brakiss' mother living in
the abandoned Imperial base. [NR]

Mulako Corporation Primordial Water Quarry

The MC Quarry is actually a periodic comet in a hundred-year orbit around its star. For several months
during its approach and departure from the sun, the comet warms enough to support life in its hollowed-out
interior. During this time the Mulako Corporation promotes the comet as a tourist destination, and many
people come to the satellite to visit its exclusive resorts, restaurants, and lounges. Tourists can visit the
comet's surface (to view erupting gas geysers or experiment in the satellite's low gravity), or just enjoy the
interior's bubbling fountains and the soft lighting shining through the mists. After the tourist season during
the comet's long orbit away from the sun, ice-mining machines roam the irregular surface. The ice is
chipped away in blocks and sold to gourmets, promoted as "pure water" formed at the creation of the solar
system. Luke Skywalker and Callista visited the MC Quarry eight years after the Battle of Endor in order
to help Callista regain her Jedi powers. [DS]

Munto Codru
Munto Codru is home to the four-armed aliens known as Codru-Ji, and is considered of only marginal
interest to the rest of galactic society. The planet features several moons, beautiful mountains, and ancient
castles in its temperate zone, which are famous for their elaborate carvings on translucent rock walls. The
castles were constructed by a now-vanished civilization and are now used as provincial capitals by the
Codru-Ji. Codru-Ji society is based on a complicated system of political families and entities (including the
Sibiu, the Temebiu, and the province of Kirl) and is headed by Chamberlain Iyon. Coup abduction and
ransom in this society is a common and expected political maneuver, during which no one of noble birth is
to be injured. Animal life on Munto Codru includes a four-winged bat and the six-legged, fanged
wyrwulfs, which are actually the Codru-Ji themselves in the earliest, infant stage of their lives. Leia
Organa Solo's three children were abducted while she was on a diplomatic mission to Munto Codru. [CS]

Mussubir Three
A planet possibly in the Senex sector. The uncommitted ex-governor of Mussubir Three took a "vacation"
to attend a meeting on Belsavis with Roganda Ismaren. [COTJ]

Mutanda
The homeworld of the leonine alien species known as the Gorvan Horansi. Myrgaanti Shi-iki, a Gorvan
Horansi, was a freelance Alliance operative until he stole a prototype fighter and deserted for unknown
reasons. [SWAJ]

Muunilinst
Known informally as "Moneylend," Muunilinst is located at the boundary between the Outer Rim and the
Unknown Regions. Muunilinst has long been a center of commerce, dating back into the days of the Old
Republic. Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, the planet served as the financial core for the shrinking
remnants of the Empire. The planet is defended with two Golan III defense platforms, and its natives often
wear traditional Muunilinsti banker's shawls and pendants. Admiral Pellaeon held a meeting on Muunilinst
fifteen years after Endor in order to discuss the Empire's surrender with other high-ranking members of the
Imperial military. [SOTP]

Myomar
The location of Imperial maintenance facilities. Han Solo reportedly acquired several powerful deflector
shield generators from these facilities for installation on the Millennium Falcon. Myomar remained an
Imperial possession until freed by the New Republic, but the planet was briefly recaptured by the Empire
during Grand Admiral Thrawn's attacks. During this time, a cell of Myomaran resistance fighters
convinced a visiting Bith into designing grenades and other weapons for them. [SWS, SOTP]

Mylock IV
A small, gray planet located in the Mylock system of the Outer Rim, Mylock IV is the homeworld of the
Nharwaak and Habeen. The two races developed a new hyperdrive together, though the Nharwaak balked
at the Habeen decision to deliver this technology to the Empire. In a rendezvous near Mylock IV, the
Habeen officially turned the technology over to Admiral Zaarin's forces in exchange for their planet's
formal entry into the Empire. The Nharwaak attempted to sell the same technology to the Rebels, but were
destroyed by Imperial attacks. [TSC]

Myrkr
Although Myrkr has been settled for 300 years and was well within the Old Republic's boundaries, both the
Old Republic and the Jedi always avoided the planet. As a result, Myrkr is unknown to virtually all galactic
citizens, with the exception of smugglers and other lawbreakers. The historical aversion of the Jedi was
due to one of Myrkr's native life forms, the tree-dwelling ysalamir. The ysalamir has evolved a defensive
mechanism allowing it to push the Force from itself in a protective bubble, and many ysalamir grouped
together can create a vast region in which the Force does not exist. Another of Myrkr's animals, the
predatory vornskr, uses the Force to assist in hunting and tracking prey. The high metal content of Myrkr's
trees make sensor readings unreliable, which is one reason why the smuggler Talon Karrde built his chief
base deep in the western part of the Great Northern Forest. This base was overrun by Grand Admiral
Thrawn's forces after Karrde helped Luke Skywalker escape in Hyllyard City, Myrkr's major population
center. Myrkr is located about 350 light years from the planet Wayland. Ood Bnar, a five thousand-year
old Jedi master, was a member of the Neti -- an alien species that evolved from trees on Myrkr.
Approximately five years before the Battle of Yavin, Han Solo helped the smuggler Roa fly a spice cargo
through the Kessel Run on its way to Myrkr. [HTTE, DFR, TOTJ, DE2, HG]

Mytus VII (Stars' End)

A small, rocky planet with low gravity and no atmosphere, Mytus VII is located in the debris-cluttered
Mytus system and was home to the Corporate Sector Authority prison known as Stars' End. Mytus VII
orbits at the edge of its system, whose small star is located at the distant end of the galaxy and the farthest
border of Corporate Sector space. The prison, where inmates were kept in suspended animation between
interrogations, was commanded by Authority Viceprex Mirkovig Hirken. Stars' End was destroyed by Han
Solo and his companions during an attempted jailbreak. Prior to the Battle of Yavin, a group of Alliance
pilots escaped from Mytus VII in a freighter and were subsequently rescued by a Rebel shuttle. [HSSE,
CSSB, FP]

Najiba
A remote planet covered with wetlands, and lashed with atmospheric electrical discharges and constant
rainstorms. Najiba, a low-technology world with a high degree of smuggling activity, is located a mere
one-hour's hyperspace travel from the Trulalis system. During one half of its elliptical orbit, Najiba passes
near a hazardous asteroid belt known as the "Children of Najiba," at which time all travel to and from the
planet is restricted. The inhabitants of Najiba tend to be superstitious and wary of strangers, but are also
extremely loyal and hardworking. Around three million humans and Najib inhabit the planet. Reuther's
Wetdock is a popular tavern located near the planet's spaceport. Sometime before the Battle of Endor, the
Dark Jedi Adalric Brandl hired the smuggler Thaddeus Ross to take him from Najiba to Trulalis, Brandl's
former home. [SWAJ]

Nal Hutta
A bruised sphere of brown deserts, blue oceans, and feeble green vegetation located in the Y'Toub system,
Nal Hutta (meaning "glorious jewel" in Huttese) is one of the primary planets settled by the Hutts after they
left their ancestral home of Varl. The planet's immense size is compensated by its extremely low density,
giving it a tolerable gravity. Nal Hutta was once a pleasant world of mountainous rain forests. Since their
arrival, however, the Hutts have transformed it into a gloomy planet of stinking bogs, stagnant, scum-
covered puddles, and patches of sickly marsh grass inhabited by insects and spiders. The planet's flocks of
large, clumsy birds are shot down by swoop-riding hunters. The atmosphere is polluted by strip-mining
operations in Nal Hutta's industrial centers, and a greasy rain drizzles down on the world's destitute
inhabitants living in their squatters' villages and ghettos. Entertainment centers located near the Nal Hutta
spaceport stand on stilts in the planet's swampy ground. The white palace of Durga the Hutt lies across
from the spaceport, and features a swamp-water bathhouse and an infamous network of dungeons. Other
points of interest include Jabba's home and the Hutt Grand Council Hall, where the Hutt kajidics (clans)
convene for rare and important summits. One such summit was held approximately five years before the
Battle of Yavin, and was the first conference of its kind in one hundred years.

Nal Hutta is governed by the Grand Council, an assemblage consisting of the eldest representative from
each major kajidic, which are sometimes collectively called the "Clans of the Ancients." Two of the largest
kajidics are Desilijic (including Jabba and Jiliac) and Besadii (including Durga and Aruk). The Shell Hutts
are the least numerous of the Hutt clans, and left the world long ago to establish their own base on
Circumtore. A number of years ago, every important Hutt on the planet was assassinated in a devastating
single strike, and all modern Hutts take precautions to ensure history does not repeat itself. Nal Hutta and
its moon, Nar Shaddaa, are located in the center of Hutt Space (two systems away from Ylesia) and receive
a constant traffic of freight haulers, smugglers, and other galactic traders. Nar Shaddaa is tidally locked
with its primary and maintains a synchronous orbit. Raw materials are continually strip-mined from Nal
Hutta's surface and shipped to the enormous moon for processing and transport. The world's population
consists of nearly seven billion inhabitants, three billion of them Hutts. The t'landa Til, a distant cousin
species of the Hutts, also claim to come from Nal Hutta. A massive, radioactive gas cloud containing the
hidden world Ganath lies very close to the planet.

Many years ago, the planet was known as Evocar and was the homeworld of the primitive Evocii. When
the Hutts arrived, they traded technology to the Evocii in exchange for land -- eventually buying up the
planet and forcing the Evocii from their homeworld. The Old Republic relocated the displaced Evocii to
the Nar Shaddaa moon, but they fared no better there. Once the Hutts controlled the entire planet, they
replaced all Evocii structures with Hutt palaces and shrines and renamed the world Nal Hutta. The planet's
nearness to busy hyperspace lanes made it a popular trade world at the time, though the trade lanes have
long since shifted. In recent history, Nal Hutta and its moon have become a haven for smugglers, pirates,
and criminals. Ten years before the Battle of Yavin, Han Solo was sent to Jiliac the Hutt's Winter Palace
(on a surprisingly pleasant tropical equatorial island) to deliver a warning from Zavval the Hutt on Ylesia.
Five years later, Solo obtained a regular piloting job with the Desilijic clan. More than one year after that,
Imperial Admiral Greelanx made a move into the Y'Toub system with the intention of blockading Nal
Hutta, but he was defeated at the Battle of Nar Shaddaa. [DE, GG4, DE2, DESB, DS, PS, HG, MA]

Nam Chorios
Located in the Chorios systems of the Meridian sector, Nam Chorios orbits a violet-white star which goes
by the name Chorios II. A barren, moonless world, Nam Chorios is covered with endless wastelands of
sharp, jagged rocks, platinum and rock-ivory deposits, and basalt and quartz outcroppings. Chains of
crystal mountains refract the weak sunlight, and isolated crystal rock-chimneys (called tsils) thrust up
towards the sky. Tiny patches of green mark where the colonists have managed to gain a foothold for their
crops, and the planet's lack of seas makes nighttime temperatures particularly chilling. "Spooks," (or
smokies), are long, green-violet crystals that are found in clusters in the deep hills - these crystals are
sentient and make up the dominant lifeform on Nam Chorios. The spook crystals are the apparent cause of
several unusual phenomena, including the ground-lightning storms that sometimes sweep across the surface
and the peculiar "boosting" effect the planet has upon those who wield the Force. Nam Chorios is not a
member of the New Republic.

The planet's main city is Hweg Shul, featuring the Blue Blerd of Happiness Tavern, Croig's Fix-It Barn, the
Newcomer quarter, and Seti Ashgad's house in the grungy Oldtimer quarter. Other communities include
Ruby Gulch (featuring the Flowering Bott Pub) and Outer Distance. Various points of interest include
Thornwind Valley, the Bleak Point gunstation, the Ten Cousins (a group of ten tsils standing in a ring), and
Seti Ashgad's fortress at the foot of the Mountains of Lightning. Plant life includes brachniel hedges and
scrub-loaks, crom and gomex mosses, lichens, podhoy, bolter, blueleaf, snigvine, bott, buttonwood trees,
and balcrabbian, while smoor, brope, majie, and nisemia thread vine are grown on tethered antigrav balls
and branswed and topato crops are grown on metallic towers. Animal life includes blerds, gebbecks,
alcopays, mikkets, insectile flying narjams, and cu-pas -- brightly-colored tauntaun relatives suited for hot
climates. Drochs are sunlight-hating insects that burrow under the skin and are absorbed into the flesh;
they can eventually grow into "captain drochs" (cat-sized crablike insects) by consuming other drochs.

Seven hundred fifty years ago, a number of political prisoners were exiled on the planet by the Grissmath
Dynasty, who seeded the world with drochs -- carriers of the Death Seed plague - in the hopes that the
prisoners would all fall ill and die. The drochs, however, were weakened by the planet's unusual
fragmented sunlight and the prisoners lived on, farming the groundwater seams. Eventually a prophet
named Theras arose, who taught his followers that no starships large enough to safely transport drochs
offworld was ever to leave the planet. After many generations there are now three distinct groups living on
Nam Chorios: the Oldtimers (descendants of the original prisoners and guards), the Theran Listeners
(followers of Theras who live in the canyons and operate the planet's gunstations, blasting arriving ships),
and the Newcomers (recent, post-Imperial arrivals who prefer to use modern technology).

Approximately three decades before the Battle of Yavin, the politician Seti Ashgad was exiled to Nam
Chorios by then-Senator Palpatine. Ashgad wrested power from Beldorian the Splendid, a Force-sensitive
Hutt who had come to the world centuries ago with a Jedi woman named Talseda. Both Ashgad and
Beldorian were kept young by a droch (mutated into humanoid form) named Dzym. Approximately eight
years after the Battle of Endor, the Jedi Knight Callista came to Nam Chorios and hooked up with the
Therans. Nine years after Endor, Leia Organa Solo made a secret visit to the Meridian sector to meet with
Seti Ashgad. Ashgad unleashed the Death Seed plague across three quarters of the sector and kidnapped
Leia, planning to disable Nam Chorios' gunstations and allow the Loronar corporation to strip-mine the
spook crystals. Luke came to the planet around the same time, searching for Callista. Seti Ashgad's plot
was foiled when his ally Moff Getelles was defeated at the Battle of Nam Chorios by Han Solo, Lando
Calrissian, and Admiral Daala. [POT]

Nanta-Ri
Nanta-Ri is located in the Farlax sector near the Koornacht Cluster. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor,
Chief of State Leia Organa Solo sent two cruisers from the New Republic's Fourth Fleet to Nanta-Ri to help
defend the planet against Yevethan aggression. [SOL]

Nanthri Route
The shipping route once plagued by the Nanthri pirates, who united under their leader Cellis Mott until his
mysterious disappearance. Mott's list of "ship's articles" are still used by pirates and privateers today.
[SWAJ]

Nar Hekka
A planet in the outer fringes of the Y'Toub system, Nar Hekka orbits a dim red star instead of Y'Toub itself.
The planet is dim and cold, but the resident Hutts have created immense enclosed hothouse domes to house
most of the inhabitants. These domes are decorated with numerous gardens, parks, and flowerbeds, and
convection currents create artificial breezes. Tagta the Hutt is Jiliac the Hutt's highest-ranking worker on
Nar Hekka and owns a large white-stone home and business center. Other points of interest include the
Starfarer Diner. Some nineteen years before the Battle of Yavin, the Wookiee smuggler Isshaddik (the mate
of Dewlanna) was killed while making a run to Nar Hekka. Five years before Yavin, Han Solo and his new
acquaintance Chewbacca were hired to deliver a ship to Starport Complex Q-7 on Nar Hekka. More than
one year later, Imperial Admiral Greelanx planned to blockade Nar Hekka but was defeated at the Battle of
Nar Shaddaa. [PS, HG]

Nar Shaddaa
The ungoverned "Smugglers' Moon" orbiting Nal Hutta, Nar Shaddaa is completely covered by
interlocking spaceport facilities and miles-high docking towers reaching to orbit. It maintains a
synchronous orbit with its primary and has two nights -- one standard night, and another, shorter night
when Nal Hutta eclipses the sun. One day on Nar Shaddaa equals 87 standard hours. The moon's all-
covering "vertical city" was built over thousands of years, and is protected by often-malfunctioning
planetary shields. Though it was once a glorious world of bustling, legitimate trade, Nar Shaddaa quickly
lost prestige as the hyperspace trade lanes shifted away. Now quite distant from most galactic commercial
centers, Nar Shaddaa is typically allowed to run its own affairs with little Imperial interference. Famous as
the birthplace of Jabba the Hutt, Nar Shaddaa is controlled by Hutts and assorted "smuggling guilds" who
control various sections of the moon. It is now widely regarded as the center of smuggling operations in
the known galaxy, and the pollution, decay, and lawlessness associated with smuggling traffic run rampant
on the moon. Sections of Nar Shaddaa's maze-like city include the Duros sector, the Hutt sector, and the
Corellian sector, which contains three bars popular with bounty hunters -- the Burning Deck, the Slag Pit,
and the Meltdown Cafe, and another corner tavern called the Orange Lady. Other points of interest on Nar
Shaddaa include the hotel-casino Chance Castle and Shug Ninx's spacebarn. The Hutt sector includes a
former luxury hotel called the Jewel, now the headquarters of the Desilijic kajidic. Some of the many
taverns include the Smuggler's Rest, the Lucky Star, the Smuggler's Hideaway, the Corellian Cafe, the
Golden Orb, the Exotic Exhibit, the Comet Casino, the Blue Light, the Drunken Drummer, and the
Rimmer's Rest. Most of the moon's 72 to 95 billion inhabitants live in the highest levels of the spaceport-
cities. Huge exhaust ports on the moon's surface vent off heat from ancient subsurface power plants,
making temperatures in the lowest levels uncomfortably hot. The subterranean mines -- drawing ore from
the moon's core and transporting it up spiral conveyer ramps to the upper loading docks -- were once very
important to Nar Shaddaa's economy, but only a few of these mines are still operating today. Most of the
tallest buildings have massive, freighter-sized turbolift shafts running through their centers.

Nar Shaddaa was originally given to the displaced Evocii as a new homeworld, after the Hutts forced the
species from Nal Hutta. The Hutts continued to exploit the Evocii in their new home, buying up their land
and using them as a cheap labor source. Now their forgotten, inbred descendants can be found inhabiting
the lowest levels of the vertical city. Jabba the Hutt was said to have effectively controlled all of Nar
Shaddaa. Han Solo and Lando Calrissian both used to frequent the moon during their early smuggling
days, and still have associates living there. Before their service to Captain Antilles, C-3PO and R2-D2
traveled to Nar Shaddaa in an attempt to apprehend the criminal Olag Greck. Five years before the Battle
of Yavin, Han Solo came to Nar Shaddaa for the first time and hooked up with smugglers like Roa and
Mako Spince. Approximately one year later, Imperial Admiral Greelanx attempted to destroy the
Smugglers' Moon but was defeated in the Battle of Nar Shaddaa. The bounty hunter Greedo and his family
lived in the moon's Corellian sector for several years, until an Imperial attack on a Rebel hideout resulted in
massive destruction and the collapse of nearly twenty sector levels. Following the Battle of Yavin, Alliance
agent Kyle Katarn avoided bounty hunters on Nar Shaddaa in order to find Imperial navigational charts
related to the Dark Trooper project. Approximately a year after the Battle of Endor, Kyle Katarn returned
to the moon and fought off bounty hunters, Imperials, and the droid 8t88. Six years after Endor, Leia and
Han Solo, searching for Vima-Da-Boda in Nar Shaddaa's lowest levels, were attacked by man-eating
vrblthers and the bounty hunter Boba Fett. [DE, DE2, DESB, D, TFTC, DF, SWAJ, PG, HG, DFRA]

Narrant system
The Narrant system is home to a number of "liege-holder clans," loose groups of genetically-linked species
that rely on a strict hierarchy and a series of ritual blood oaths in order to get along with one another. They
often employ members of the diplomatic Lyunesi species (from Ryoone) to act as negotiators and
intermediaries between their various clans. Just after the Battle of Yavin, a Lyunesi comm-handler named
Oph Nar Dinnid contracted a case of hyper-eros and was discovered in bed with the alpha concubine of one
of the Narrant system's supreme liege-lords -- at one of the formal clan-oath ceremonies in front of
thousands of sub-lieges. Dinnid managed to escape, but the enraged Narrant lords put out a substantial
bounty on his head. The Shell Hutts on Circumtore eventually agreed to shelter Dinnid, since the Lyunesi
had top-secret Narrant business records packed into his memory augmentors. Gheeta the Shell Hutt
secretly asked the Narrant liege-holder clan how much they would be willing to pay for Dinnid's immediate
death, then accepted their offer and killed his guest. [MA]

Narth
The Imperial Star Destroyer Gnisnal was demolished by internal explosions during the Imperial evacuation
of Narth and Ihopek following the Battle of Endor. The wreckage later provided the New Republic with a
complete copy of the Imperial Order of Battle. [BTS]

Necropolis
Necropolis, meaning "City of the Dead," has been settled by human colonists for thousands of years.
Centuries ago, a witch named Sycorax cursed the planet, warning its inhabitants to never ignore the
deceased. As a result, the residents are devoted to a number of age-old traditions involving death and the
grave. Visitors to the world are greeted by townspeople dressed as mummies, who wait for them inside
coffins that line the main city's alleyways. Necropolis' spaceport consists mostly of ancient, towering stone
buildings and is continually shrouded by fog. Points of interest inside the spaceport include Meego's
Starship Emporium, while a short distance away lies a vast graveyard containing the Crypt of the Ancients -
the legendary final resting place of Sycorax. Native plant life includes poisonous cryptberries. Indigenous
animal life includes white boneworms, which burrow through the ground and feed on the marrow of newly-
interred corpses. Six months after the Battle of Yavin, Zak and Tash Arranda and their Uncle Hoole were
dropped off on Necropolis by Han Solo's Millennium Falcon. While there, they uncovered a plot by Dr.
Evazan to create an army of zombies. Evazan was later killed by the bounty hunter Boba Fett. [GOF]

Neelgaimon
Following the failure of the Emperor's attempt to destroy the Jedi enclave on Belsavis, several designers of
the Eye of Palpatine were reassigned to punitive duty at the sandmines of Neelgaimon. [COTJ]

Nellac Kram
The Imperial freighter (carrying a cloaked cargo of TIE fighters) which was used in the battle of Sluis Van
was using the alias Nartissteu, and its port of origin was reported as Nellac Kram. [HTTE]

Nentan
Nentan was a stopover point for civilians wishing passage to Rebel safe worlds. When the base was
discovered by Imperial forces, there were not enough transports available to evacuate everyone from the
surface. Captain Bren Derlin, serving General Rieekan, led a squad that hid in Nentan's ancient ruins and
captured an Imperial transport. This action, which allowed all the base personnel to escape, earned Derlin
the rank of Major. [MTS]

Nespis VIII
Once located at the node of the six remaining Auril systems near the Cron Drift, the now-destroyed Nespis
VIII was a huge derelict space city not appearing on most standard star charts. It was one of the largest
space stations ever built, measuring twelve kilometers high and countless kilometers wide. A large number
of its internal passageways connected in a bubble-topped room called the solarium. The station even had
its own internal weather patterns, and some rooms were completely flooded and infested with dianoga.
Nespis VIII began its life as a remote beacon-point during the early days of hyperspace travel. The Jedi
Knights constructed the space city around the beacon as a neutral meeting place for scientists and
academics to gather and exchange ideas. Over thousands of years the beacon became a sprawling city, with
a vast diversity of architectural styles and historical relics from nearly every period of space travel,
including centuries-old murals of the Great Sith War. The Jedi maintained an extensive library inside the
station, but legends say that the city eventually fell to the dark side and a curse was placed on the library
forbidding all entrance. The city was abandoned long before the start of the Clone Wars, but remained
well-preserved in the vacuum of space. Hundreds scavengers and treasure hunters subsequently descended
on the derelict, eager to find lost valuables and relics. Decades ago, Darth Vader came to Nespis VIII and
murdered a Jedi guardian named Aidan Bok, then vaporized the priceless contents of the Jedi library.
Seven months after the Battle of Yavin, Zak and Tash Arranda came to Nespis VIII and uncovered a plot to
trap Force-strong individuals and suck out their life-energies through a cryogenic machine called the
Essence Stealer. Six years after the Battle of Endor, Luke Skywalker freed Kam Solusar from the Dark
Side of the Force while at Nespis VIII. Later that year (after the destruction of the command base on the
fifth moon of Da Soocha), New Republic leaders established their new base at the remote space city, and
Leia Organa Solo's third child Anakin was born there. Soon after, the Emperor fired a Galaxy Gun
projectile at Nespis VIII as the New Republic scrambled to abandon their base. Though the first shot was
unsuccessful, a second projectile utterly destroyed the ancient space city. [DE2, EE, GOF]

New Alderaan
New Republic Support Services located a planet, renamed New Alderaan, to serve as a homeworld for the
refugees from the destroyed world of Alderaan. Following the Battle of Endor, General Jan Dodonna went
into semi-retirement on New Alderaan until called back into service to fight the Empire. The planet was
later discovered by Imperial Warlord Zsinj and its entire population was forced to temporarily evacuate.
After Grand Admiral Thrawn's siege of Coruscant five years after Endor, most Alderaanians on Coruscant
left the planet to settle on New Alderaan. During the Emperor's reappearance six years after Endor, Mon
Mothma's daughter was convalescing on New Alderaan.

At the same time, Jacen and Jaina Solo were being protected on an uncharted, green, exotic world code-
named "New Alderaan." The small, unassuming settlement near a lake helped disguise a large underground
technical complex and its advanced defensive weaponry. The Emperor attacked the complex with his seven
Darkside warriors and a phalanx of advanced AT-ATs in an attempt to kidnap the Solo children. [DE,
COPL, DE2, DESB, SOTP]

New Bakstre
A planet with seven moons, a purplish sky, and a very rapid rotation. [SWAJ]

New Brigia
New Brigia, located just within the borders of the Koornacht Cluster, was the former location of a
struggling chromite mining operation founded by a small group of Brigians approximately two years prior
to the Battle of Yavin. In its early years, the colony enjoyed rich hauls of chromite ore, many eager buyers,
and protection from pirates by the Imperial forces controlling Koornacht. Over time, however, the ore
yields grew less profitable, and the Empire's retreat from the region after the Battle of Endor hurt the
security of the trade lanes. Twelve years after Endor, the entire Brigian colony was ruthlessly eliminated by
the Yevethan military in what the Yevethans called the Great Purge. [BTS]

New Cov
New Cov, in the Churba sector of the Mid Rim, is covered with thick jungles and carnivorous plants. Giant
walled cities, accessible through entrance shafts in their transparisteel domes, have been built on the planet
to harvest valuable, exotic biomolecules from the local plant life for export. It was a common practice for
Imperial forces to arrive occasionally and "raid" the cities for their stores of biomolecules, which was
treated by the local Covies as a routine but covert form of taxation. The walled city of Ilic contains a

New Republic Senator Borsk Fey'lya helped Garm Bel Iblis' army set up a supply line through New Cov,

New Kisge
Alliance Major Adazian Liebke, a Weequay, serves as a wilderness fighter with the Alliance SpecForces
unit on New Kisge. [SWAJ]

New Polokia
The starliner Star Morning, owned by the religious Fallanassi order, departed the planet Teyr and went to
Darepp. From there it traveled towards the Outer Rim, stopping at the colony worlds 23 Mere, Yisgga,
New Polokia, Fwiis, and Babbadod. [SOL]

New Ralltiir
New Republic historian Voren Na'al interviewed Han Solo about his adventures in the Corporate Sector
while Solo and his family were resting on New Ralltiir. [CSSB]

Nichen
After an ill-fated encounter with the ghost ship known as the Teljkon vagabond near Gmar Askilon, the ship
Kettlemoor jumped to Nichen carrying the dead and injured crew members from the interdiction picket
Kauri. [SOL]

Niian
The smuggler Dannen Lifehold was on a mission on the tropical planet of Niian when his mentor, Captain
Twolz, was killed by Imperial stormtroopers. [SWAJ]

Nim Drovis
Located in the Meridian sector in the Drovian system, the rainy world of Nim Drovis (sometimes called
Drovis) contains a Sector Medical Facility and Medical Research Facility, and a small New Republic base.
Swamps, mud, molds, fungus, and reeds predominate the soggy planet's terrain. The inhabitants of Nim
Drovis, bottom-heavy creatures with pincer tentacles, are a primitive species organized into a network of
tribes. The Gopso'o tribesmen (identified by their braided topknots) operate slug-ranches and are the
ancient enemies of the Drovian tribe. The two sides have fought violently for centuries, but since the
Drovians were the first ones to make contact with the outside galaxy they have become the de facto ruling
tribe. Many natives are addicted to the Algarian narcotic zwil, which they absorb by inserting fist-sized
plugs into their membrane-lined breathing tubes.

The largest free port on Nim Drovis is Bagsho, originally settled by Old Republic colonists from Alderaan.
Within the last five years, it has turned into a link between the Meridian sector's neutral worlds and the
New Republic. The city is divided into the Old Town and the New Town, and both sides are connected by
bridges. Many Gopso'o live in low-income enclaves within Bagsho near a region called the Thousand
Stinking Ditches. Local architecture tends towards heavy stone walls and thick wooden supports with
numerous balconies. The rain-swelled city canals harbor ambulatory carnivorous molds, which are
continually eradicated by teams of Drovians with acid- and flame-throwers. South of Bagsho, amid the
murky bayous, lie several small landing pads utilized by smugglers. Native animal life includes marsh-
gunnies, gulpers, and green-eyed wadie-platts.

Nine years after the Battle of Endor, R2-D2 and C-3PO landed on Nim Drovis, and unsuccessfully tried to
earn passage to Cybloc XII at the Chug 'n' Chuck and the Wookiee's Codpiece taverns in Bagsho. At the
same time, Han Solo took several survivors of the crashed ship Corbantis to the Bagsho medical facility to
treat their radiation burns. He discovered that forty people at the Republic base were dead from the Death
Seed plague and the Gopso'o tribe was overrunning the city. Both Han and the droids were able to escape
the planet separately. [POT]

Ninth Quadrant
An area of space near the Senex and Juvex sectors, containing the Greeb-Streebling Cluster, the Noopiths,
and the planet Belsavis. The quadrant is relatively isolated and its systems are widely spread apart.
[COTJ]

Nirauan
Located in the system of the same name in the Gradilis sector, Nirauan lies on the boundary between Wild
Space and the Unknown Regions, not far from the Corporate Sector. Though the system was named and
entered into galactic records years ago, it was never explored by scouts. Nirauan is the second planet from
the system's dim red star. The world is drab and barren; even its scattered clumps of vegetation are a dull
gray or brown. In the lower latitudes of the northern hemisphere at the end of a craggy ravine lies a
massive black stone fortress, remarkably similar to the structure on the planet Hijarna. Fifteen years after
the Battle of Endor, Mara Jade came to Nirauan to investigate a strange alien spacecraft. While exploring a
cave near the fortress, she was captured by a colony of strange mynock-like creatures. Luke Skywalker
organized a rescue party to go after her. [SOTP]

Nkllon
Located in the Athega system, Nkllon is a superhot planet closely orbiting its star. Any ships approaching
the planet must ride behind the cooled umbrellas of massive shieldships until they reach Nkllon's shadow,
or they risk critical solar damage. Lando Calrissian, inspired by a similar design for the planet Miser,
constructed a constantly moving mining platform that can stay permanently on the shadow side during
Nkllon's ninety-day rotation. This platform is called Nomad City and primarily consists of a Dreadnaught
Cruiser supported by forty AT-AT walkers. It holds a crew of 5000 and is surrounded by a cloud of
shuttles, pilot vehicles, and mole miners. Some of the metals produced through mining Nkllon include
hfredium, kammris, and dolovite. An attack on Nomad City by the Star Destroyer Judicator resulted in the
theft of 51 mole miners, and another Imperial attack critically damaged the city and resulted in the loss of
its strategic metals stockpiles. Brakiss, leader of the Shadow Academy, had a picture of a molten waterfall
on Nkllon in his private office. [HTTE, LC, YJK]

No-ad system
Seven months after the Battle of Yavin, a Corellian woman named Domisari claimed to have been hunting
fire-crystals in the No-ad system before arriving at Nespis VIII. In reality, she was a paid assassin hired by
Darth Vader to kill Zak and Tash Arranda. [GOF]

Nodgra system
The Nodgra system is approximately three days travel from the Socorran system. The crimelord Abdi-
Badawzi forced the young smuggler Drake Paulsen to deliver a cargo to the Nodgra system. [SWAJ]

N'oka Brath
N'oka Brath is the Qella name for the star that the planet Qella orbits. [TT]

Noopiths
The Noopiths are located in the Ninth Quadrant, near the Senex and Juvex sectors. [COTJ]

Noonar
Noonar, the ruling world of Imperial governor Trophan Thanis, is located in the Noonian system and sector.
[SWAJ]

Noonian sector
The Noonian sector, located near the Halthor sector, contains the Noonian system (and its planet Noonar)
and the planet Movris. The Noonian system, ruled by Imperial governor Trophan Thanis, contains several
food-processing facilities for the Nebula Consumables corporation. Rebel privateers, presumably
operating from Movris, were able to steal nearly a quarter of Nebula Consumables' output. Captain Gresia
Vleen, an Imperial customs officer aboard the Interdictor cruiser Tory's Catcher, inspects ships traveling the
space lanes of the Noonian sector. [SWAJ]

Noquivzor
Noquivzor, a warm, dry planet covered with golden treeless savannas and rolling hills, was Rogue
Squadron's base of operations approximately three years after the Battle of Endor. Only one building
extended above the ground; the rest of the structures were subterranean. Native animal life on the planet
includes herds of wildernerfs, which are preyed upon by leopard-like taoparis. After the conquest of
Borleias, the New Republic Provisional Council met on Noquivzor to discuss strategies for capturing
Coruscant. The Rogues moved their headquarters to Borleias but soon moved back to Noquivzor in order
to defend against a possible raid by Warlord Zsinj. After the Rogue pilots departed for their undercover
mission to Coruscant, Zsinj arrived at the planet in his Super Star Destroyer Iron Fist and bombarded the
Noquivzor base with TIE bombers. Most members of Rogue Squadron's support staff were killed as the
barracks collapsed, but the hangar escaped serious damage. Only the fact that most of the buildings were
underground saved the base from utter destruction. [XWRS, XWWG, XWKT]

Nordra
The homeworld of Alliance Colonel Riskin, a three-foot alien who commands a base halfway across the
galaxy on the planet Baskarn. [SWAJ]

Norulac
The planet Norulac housed a company of bandits who annually raided Taanab, until they were wiped out by
Lando Calrissian in the famous Battle of Taanab. Calrissian single-handedly accounted for nineteen kills.
[ROJN, SWAJ]

Norval II
Norval (or Norvall) II is the homeworld of General Horton Salm, commander of the Alliance's starfighter
training center on Folor. Six years after the Battle of Endor, a detachment of fighters from Norval II joined
the Alliance to aid in their struggle against the reborn Emperor. [DE, XWRS]

Nosken
Nosken is a gas giant planet located in the system of the same name. Many years ago, the TriGas
Corporation started an ambitious (though ultimately unprofitable) dirigible mining operation on Nosken.
Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, Talon Karrde visited Booster Terrik's Star Destroyer, the Errant
Venture, in the Nosken system. [GG2, SOTP]

Notak
Some seven months after the Battle of Endor, the Victory-class Star Destroyer Harridan was ordered from
its patrol of the N'zoth shipyards to help fight a losing rear-guard battle at Notak. [BTS]

Nouane
The New Republic vessel IX-26 was diverted from patrolling the region of space known as Nouane to pick
up a team of archaeological researchers from Obroa-skai. The team was then brought to the dead planet
Qella to learn clues about the mysterious Qella ship known as the Teljkon vagabond. [BTS]

Nyarikan Nebula
The Nyarikan Nebula is a navigation hazard lying near the Garos system. Its presence has made travel to
the Garos system relatively uncommon. [SWAJ]

Nyasko
A planet in the Colunda sector. The Imperial tech Deppo was stationed in an AT-AT battalion on Nyasko,
which was kept busy fighting the high degree of Rebel activity in the sector. [DESB]

Nyny
The homeworld of a three-headed alien species. Thirteen years after the Battle of Endor, the senator from
Nyny was presumably killed in the bombing of Senate Hall on Coruscant. [NR]

N'zoth
N'zoth, homeworld of the alien Yevetha, is located in the system of the same name in the Koornacht Cluster
and is the capital of the Yevethan federation known as the Duskhan League. It is a dry world orbiting a
golden sun, appearing gray-green with yellow clouds from space. The ruling city of Giat Nor, located near
the smaller spaceport of Hariz, has a population of over one million - the planet itself has a population of
nearly 700 million. Surface yards operated by the Nazfar Metalworks Guild are the prime source for the
Yevethans' spherical thrustships. The satellite Pa'aal is the primary moon of the fifth planet of the N'zoth
system. Yevethans are skeletal bipeds who are extremely gifted with technology and can learn new skills
almost instantaneously. Their females are called marasi and their males are called nitakka, while their
young are born in separate "birth-casks" called mara-nas. Yevethan society is ruthlessly caste-driven; high-
status males have every right to kill their lessers at any time and for any reason. A "murder" occurs only if
someone of lower status kills an individual belonging to a higher caste.

The two thousand stars of the Koornacht Cluster burn so brightly in N'zoth's night sky that more distant
stars are never visible, which convinced the Yevethans that their species was the only one in the universe.
By the time the Empire arrived in the Cluster, the Yevetha had spread from N'zoth and colonized eleven
nearby planets -- all without the benefit of hyperdrive. The arriving Imperials established an orbiting repair
yard (codenamed Black 15) at N'zoth and established a planetary garrison on the planet's surface. The
Yevetha were forced to work as Imperial slaves, and learned much about the Empire's technology by
servicing their ships at the repair yard. Eight months after the Battle of Endor, faced with mounting losses
in battles with the New Republic, the Empire planned to evacuate all forces from N'zoth and destroy the
Black 15 shipyard. But Yevethan leader Nil Spaar and his commando team used the confusion of the
moment to capture the Super Star Destroyer Intimidator, and murdered twenty thousand Imperial citizens
by firing the Intimidator's turbolasers on the evacuation transports. Nil Spaar then claimed the orbital yard
and all nine of its capital ships in the name of the Yevetha Protectorate. Eventually, after the death of
former viceroy Kiv Truun, Spaar took over as viceroy of the Duskhan League and the Black 15 yards were
moved from N'zoth to a clandestine location. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, after the Yevethans
captured all alien colony worlds lying inside the Koornacht Cluster's borders in an aggressive campaign
called the Great Purge, darama Nil Spaar returned to N'zoth to a hero's welcome. His thrustship Aramadia
landed at Hariz before three million onlookers and he proceeded in glory to his palace in Giat Nor. (The
top level of Spaar's palace contains a private breedery with sixteen alcoves for birth-casks and a grated
floor for blood sacrifices.) During the final Battle of N'zoth, the Yevethan fleet was crippled when their
captured Imperial warships were commandeered by human slaves and taken into hyperspace. The
remaining Yevethan thrustships were utterly decimated by the New Republic fleet. [BTS, SOL, TT]

Obica
Alliance leaders met with Sullustan commander Syub Snunb at a rendezvous near Obica just prior to the
Battle of Endor. Snunb then led the Rebel fleet to Sullust where they prepared for their assault on the
second Death Star. [DESB]

Obinipor
Located in the system of the same name deep in the Outer Rim, Obinipor is a free colony boasting many
natural resources. A number of active volcanoes give the colonists a convenient geothermal power source,
and valuable metals used in the production of power generators are mined from the planet's surface. Points
of interest include a corporate headquarters office. Approximately four years after the Battle of Endor,
Warlord Zsinj's corvette Night Caller was assigned to visit a number of unaligned rimward planetary
systems and refueling rendezvous points located just outside of New Republic territory. The schedule
included Viamarr Four, Xartun, Belthu, Em-Two-Three-Nine-Eight, Todirium, Obinipor, and Femion.
After the members of Wraith Squadron captured the Night Caller, Warlord Zsinj made plans to hide his
Super Star Destroyer Iron Fist behind Obinipor's largest moon and destroy Rogue Squadron if they decided
to raid the planet. Zsinj was talked out of his plan by Wraith pilot Garik "Face" Loran, posing as the Night
Caller's true captain. [XWWS]

Obroa-skai
Located in the system of the same name, Obroa-skai sits at a strategic location within the borderland
regions. It is famous for its vast galactic library, a collection of original documents in ten thousand
different formats and an even greater number of different languages. The most complete general index only
covers fifteen percent of the library's holdings. To ensure security, access to the Obroan libraries can only
be done while on Obroa-skai itself, or by hiring an authorized researcher. During the rise of Grand Admiral
Thrawn five years after the Battle of Endor, the New Republic attempted to convince Obroa-skai to join
their side. Thrawn's forces made a partial dump of the data in the Obroans' central library system which
allowed them to learn the location of the planet Wayland. When Mara Jade visited Wayland during her
tenure as the Emperor's Hand, the last stop before reaching their destination was Obroa-skai. After
escaping from the Binring Biomedical Product compound on Saffalore, the Gamorrean Voort "Piggy"
saBinring reached Obroa-skai. Piggy learned a great deal there from the library databases and eventually
became a member of the New Republic's Wraith Squadron. At some point, Luke Skywalker sent the droids
R2-D2 and C-3PO to the galactic libraries of Obroa-skai to search their vast databanks for any information
about his long-lost mother. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, an archaeological team from the Obroan
Institute was dispatched to the dead planet Qella to search for any clues about the mysterious "ghost ship"
called the Teljkon vagabond. Fifteen years after Endor, the New Republic searched the old Imperial
archive on Obroa-skai in the hopes of finding the names of the Bothans involved in the Caamas tragedy.
[HTTE, LC, BTS, SOL, SOTP, XWWS]

Odik II
The location of a top-secret political detention ward, where Old Republic opponents of Palpatine's New
Order were imprisoned. Major Calders, a security warden aboard the first Death Star, began his career as a
security guard at the Odik II facility. [DSTC]

Odos
Odos is located in the Odos systems, in the Meridian sector near the Chorios systems. Most ships wishing
to make a hyperspace jump to Coruscant from the region depart from the far side of the Odos systems.
Nine years after the Battle of Endor, Han Solo and Lando Calrissian were attacked by an Imperial fleet
from the nearby Antemeridian sector while at Exodo II, and lost their pursuers by flying through the gas-
clouds of Odos and the fringes of the Spangled Veil Nebula. [POT]

Oetrago
Han Solo spent some time on Oetrago, and was unimpressed with the appearance of its plant life. He was
reminded of this while seeing the ugly, mutated flowers of Crseih Station. [CS]

Ogoth Tiir
Jona Grumby, a commodore in the Corporate Sector picket fleet, retired from the Imperial starfleet after he
was crippled at the battle of Ogoth Tiir. [CSSB]

Ojoster sector
Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, when the Devaronian Lak Jit was captured on Wayland trying to
steal a copy of the Caamas document, he threatened to lodge a formal complaint with the Ojoster Sector
Assembly. [SOTP]

Oko E
A planet whose rivers are filled with sulfur ice. The cyborg Lobot once went on a wild-water rafting
vacation on Oko E, where he learned the proper technique for pulling a raftmate out of the water. Twelve
years after the Battle of Endor, he used the same technique to save Lando Calrissian's life aboard the ghost
ship known as the Teljkon vagabond. [SOL]

Olabria?
The Olabrian Trichoid (possibly originating on the planet of Olabria) was used by Governor Nereus of
Bakura in an attempt to kill Luke Skywalker. Its larvae hatch in a host's stomach and burrow towards the
heart, feeding on blood. [TAB]

Omar
Located in the system of the same name, Omar was the former site of three Sienar Fleet Systems starfighter
production facilities. These advanced manufacturing plants, which produced the new TIE Advanced
fighter, were destroyed by the traitorous Admiral Zaarin in the time following the Battle of Hoth. Zaarin
hoped to maintain his technological superiority by weakening the Empire's most advanced war materiel.
[TSC]
Omman
A culturally-diverse world with a busy starport and a high Imperial presence. The smugglers Drake
Paulsen and Karl Ancher were imprisoned in a Bureau of Customs jail on Omman, but escaped with the
help of another smuggler, Tait Ransom. [SWAJ]

Omwat
An orange and green world of savannas and mountains, Omwat was the homeworld of the alien Maw
scientist Qwi Xux. Tarkin, at that time a Moff commanding a Victory-class Star Destroyer, had determined
that Omwati children could be capable of astonishing mental feats. He constructed an orbital education
sphere to instruct the brightest Omwati prospects, using the threat of death to their honeycomb settlements
on Omwat's surface if they failed. Nasdra Magrody developed the accelerated learning process, and one of
the instructors was Ohran Keldor (a designer of both the Death Star and the Eye of Palpatine). Qwi Xux
was the only candidate to survive the intense pressures of this force-fed education. [JS, COTJ]

Onderon
Onderon, in the three-planet system of the same name, circles a yellow sun and has four moons with
widely-varying orbits. The closest moon, Dxun, is home to numerous bloodthirsty creatures who are
periodically able to migrate to the surface of Onderon, due to an annual period in which the two worlds'
atmospheres intersect. The human inhabitants of Onderon gradually evolved defenses against the beasts,
eventually culminating in the enormous walled city of Iziz. Native life on the planet includes the deadly
dragon-bird.

4,400 years ago the Dark Jedi Freedon Nadd brought the power of the Sith to Onderon, and those who
opposed it were cast out into the wilderness where they tamed the beasts of Dxun. Hundreds of these
"beast riders" created their own kingdoms in the wild, and fought continually to overtake Iziz. About 4402
years ago Onderon was first contacted by the Old Republic, and a delegation of Jedi (including Ulic Qel-
Droma) was sent to make peace between the beast riders and Queen Amanda of Iziz two years after that.
Following the death of Queen Amanda, her daughter Galia took the throne with Oron Kira, her lover and
the leader of a beast rider kingdom. A subsequent uprising by the followers of Freedon Nadd was put down
by another Jedi force. At the same time, Satal Keto and his cousin Aleema (members of Tetan royalty)
traveled to Onderon to learn the secrets of Sith magic, which led to their formation of the Krath and the
political takeover of the Tetan system. Following the Naddist uprising, a permanent Jedi outpost was built
on Onderon from the remains of Nadd's ancient starship. Later, during the end of the Sith War, Exar Kun
ordered the warrior clans of Mandalore to capture Onderon and the city of Iziz. Defeated in a furious battle
by Oron Kira and Captain Vanicus of the Republic navy, Mandalore and his surviving men fled to the Dxun
moon. Millennia later, six years after the Battle of Endor, the Millennium Falcon landed on Onderon to
repair damage suffered in a battle with the reborn Emperor's flagship, the Eclipse II. Fearing for her
newborn son Anakin, Leia Organa Solo hid in warrior leader Modon Kira's safehouse deep in the Onderon
wilderness. Palpatine (posing as a pilgrim on his way to the Shatoon monastery) discovered the child at the
safehouse and tried to possess his body, but was stopped by the Jedi knight Empatojayos Brand. Later, the
leaders of the New Republic gathered in the fortress of Modon Kira and re-established their galactic
government, led by Mon Mothma with Leia Organa Solo as her second in command. [TOTJ, FNU, DLOS,

Ookbat
The bounty hunters Tinian I'att and Chenlambec the Wookiee made a failed mission to Ookbat, where they
saved each others' lives in the planet's clammy warrens. [TBH]

Oolidi
Tolik Yar, a member of the New Republic Senate and a staunch defender of Chief of State Leia Organa
Solo, is from the planet Oolidi. The natives, round-bodied aliens, are called Oolids. [BTS, SOL]
Oor VII
Inspector Keek, Chief of the Internal Security Police on Brigia, had a medal (presumably obtained
secondhand) designating him spelling champion of the planet Oor VII. [HSLL]

Oorn Tchis
Alliance pilot Keyan Farlander has an aunt and uncle living on Oorn Tchis. [FP]

Ord Grovner
The location of an Imperial Naval base. The Star Destroyers Crusader and Bombard returned to the Ord
Grovner base after wiping out the Eyttyrmin Batiiv pirates in the Khuiumin system. [SWAJ]

Ord Mantell
A planet with twin moons located in the outworlds. Points of interest on Ord Mantell include its busy
spaceport (surrounded by canyons), and Ten Mile Plateau, located in the rocky back country. Supposedly a
world free from Imperial interests, Ord Mantell happened to be hosting an Imperial fleet on maneuvers
when Han Solo arrived there to repair the Millennium Falcon following the Battle of Yavin. While there,
Solo encountered his smuggler friend Drub McKumb, who warned Solo of the sizable bounty on his head.
Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia were later captured by the bounty hunter Skorr, and held captive in the
abandoned stellar energy plant on Ten Mile Plateau. Skorr planned to use the pair as bait to trap Solo, but
his plans were foiled when Solo and Chewbacca staged a daring rescue.

Later, Solo, Skywalker, and Chewbacca were captured by several bounty hunters (including Skorr, Dengar,
and Bossk) working with Boba Fett, who imprisoned the trio in an abandoned moisture plant in Ord
Mantell's back country. Again, Solo and his companions managed to outwit the bounty hunters and flee the
planet. About six years later, Grand Admiral Thrawn staged an assault on Ord Mantell to create fear in the
surrounding systems and ease New Republic pressure on his shipyard supply lines. [ESB, LC, MTS,
COTJ, CSW]

Ord Mirit
Located at the edge of the Galactic core in the Mirit system, Ord Mirit was once home to an Imperial base.
After the Battle of Endor, however, the crumbling Empire abandoned the Ord Mirit garrison and moved its
personnel to defend the more valuable world of Corellia. Some three years after Endor, the Alliance
wanted to capture Borleias in the nearby Pyria system. They began their attack with a raid on the Venjagga
system, which caused the Imperial Star Destroyer-II Eviscerator to pursue decoy Alliance ships into the
neighboring Mirit system, believing Ord Mirit was the Rebels' true target. Bothan slicers had previously
made Ord Mirit appear as a likely target by planting information that the world held the key to finding the
lost Katana fleet. [XWRS]

Ord Pardron
Ord Pardron, possibly in the Dufilvan sector, is the site of a major New Republic base and was used in a
multi-pronged attack by Grand Admiral Thrawn. By attacking multiple targets Thrawn forced Ord Pardron
to parcel out its ships to help, requiring all remaining ships to stay at Ord Pardron to fight the Death's Head
and leaving the planet Ukio undefended. Ukio was captured, and the Ord Pardron base was severely
damaged. Ord Pardron is also the homeworld of Dera Jynsol, one of Lando Calrissian's candidates for
marriage. [LC, AAC]

Ord Segra
Years ago, resistance leader Una Poot and her husband delivered a culsion gas cargo to the Ord Segra
spaceport. When they refused to pay the standard seven percent bribe, the customs ships opened fire and
forced them to take a blind hyperspace jump. They ended up near the Dragonflower Nebula, eventually
founding Silver Station. [SWAJ]
Ord Traga
While on a mission to Kabaira, the free-trader Tere Metallo used the false story that she was carrying cargo
for an Imperial general on Ord Traga. [SWAJ]

Ord Trasi
The location of a major group of Imperial shipyards, in addition to the facilities at Yaga Minor and
Bilbringi. All three shipyards were extremely busy during Grand Admiral Thrawn's offensive against the
New Republic. Information supplied to the New Republic from a bounty hunter on Ord Trasi stated that
three Imperial Star Destroyers were within a month of completion at the shipyards. [LC]

Ord Wylan
Lando Calrissian won the taxi-service license rights to Ord Wylan in a sabacc game, but lost them the next
moment on a side bet concerning what brand of liquor was being served at the time. [SWAJ]

Orellon II
Located in the Bastooine system, Orellon II is a world of jungles, plains, and volcanic mountains separated
by oceans and orbited by the large barren moon called Orellon I. The planet is the homeworld of the
primitive Kentra, a species of winged, fur-covered aliens who can fly in the world's slightly less-than-
standard gravity. The world's five million Kentra are divided into four racial types: the jungle, spotted,
striped, and brown folk, who all inhabit different terrain types. The Kentra live in seven major cities,
including the capital city of Kariish (where King Jerius rules) and Ironwall (the domain of Jerius' rival,
Lord Mogotah). Plant life on the planet includes the buntra tree, while some of the deadly predators
include hornbeaks, voontragi, avian criers, and lizardlike gliders.

Years ago, Michael Tandre, a geologist and Jedi knight, crashed his ship Alpha Kentrum on Orellon II. He
became the spiritual leader of the Kentra, teaching them to follow the disciplines of the Sword, Plow, and
Spirit and leaving computer programs to guide them after his death. The Kentra built the Temple of the
Je'ulajists (a corrupted form of "geologists") in the jungle around the Alpha Kentrum, and worshipped the
memory of the Prophet Tandre. A starfish-shaped scoutship, built by a race of long-extinct aliens, is hidden
in Orellon II's jungle and has been sending out scout droids to collect specimens for examination and
collection. [SWAJ]

Orelon
A large, bright star located in the Hapes cluster of sixty-three stars. [COPL]

Orin
A volcanic world, Orin occupies the second-planet position in the Bespin system. The planet has an
elliptical orbit, passing through the asteroids of the nearby Velser's Ring twice during its year. Its black
surface is rocked by frequent earthquakes and covered with rivers of lava and erupting volcanoes. Orin's
surface temperature is unbearably high and its atmosphere is choked with thick soot. [GG2]

Orinackra
Home to a high-security Imperial Detention Center. Following the Battle of Yavin, Alliance agent Kyle
Katarn infiltrated the Orinackra prison and rescued the captured spy Crix Madine. [DF]

Orinda
During a battle against Imperial forces at Orinda, the New Republic fleet carrier Endurance chose not
release its fighters immediately, preferring instead to temporarily shield them from capital ship fire. When
the Endurance and all its waiting fighters were annihilated by a Super Star Destroyer, New Republic
tacticians vowed to never again allow a fully-loaded carrier to become such a target. [BTS]

Orion IV
An Alliance base on Orion IV was destroyed by the Empire prior to the Battle of Yavin. It was bombarded
from space by several Star Destroyers, and attacked on the planet's surface by AT-AT walkers and Assault
Gunboats. [FP]

Orooturoo
Princess Nampi, an immense worm-like alien who attempted to steal Jabba's cargo, was a native of
Orooturoo. [JTH]

Orron III
Orron III is a fertile agricultural planet at a strategic location within the Corporate Sector. The green and
blue world has almost no axial tilt, resulting in a year-round growing season for crops (including Arcon
Multinode hybrid). The Corporate Sector Authority tends the endless fields with robot agricultural
machines, and has constructed a city-sized Authority Data Center on the planet. The only space traffic
allowed on the world are Authority ships and massive agricultural drone barges, and the region is defended
by the Shannador's Revenge -- a two kilometer-long Invincible Class dreadnaught. The spaceport is
extremely large, built to accommodate the arriving and departing robo-barges. Han Solo and others tried to
infiltrate the Authority Data Center on Orron III to learn the location of several missing persons. Prior to
the Battle of Yavin, an Imperial convoy bound for the Death Star construction site stopped at a comm sat
near Orron III, and was destroyed by Alliance starfighters. The Imperials also had a base in the system.
Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, after leaving the planet Teyr, Luke Skywalker briefly monitored the
ship Rode to Ruin, belonging to Fracca of Orron III. [HSSE, FP, SOL]

Orto
A small, cold planet circling its red dwarf sun in an elliptical orbit, Orto is home to the trunked alien
species known as Ortolans. Orto has a thin atmosphere and a short growing season, with arable lands
concentrated near the equator. Beneath the northern polar ice cap geologists have discovered an enormous
crater, leading to a theory that Orto was once struck by a planetary body which resulted in its somewhat
inhospitable climate and the extinction of many of its lifeforms. The music- and food-loving Ortolans do
not have a highly industrialized society, although they have been quite efficient in food production
processes. Orto has been taken over by the Empire, and the Ortolans have been forced to mine heavy
metals and radioactive fuels for Orto's new Imperial processing centers. One of the band members in Jabba
the Hutt's palace was an Ortolan. [GG4, ROTJ]

Orus sector
Grand Admiral Thrawn gave the false impression his clone traffic was running through the Orus sector,
leading Talon Karrde to visit Chazwa in an attempt to find the traffic's origin point. Planets in the Orus
sector include Chazwa, Poderis, and Joiol. [LC]

Oseon system
Adjacent to the Rafa system and composed of nothing but thousands of asteroids, the Oseon system is
famous for its wealthy inhabitants and its booming tourist trade. Seven wide bands of asteroids orbit their
sun, and many of these bodies have been turned into luxury resorts or private estates. Many tourists come
to see the famous Flamewind of Oseon, a yearly phenomenon caused by an increase in stellar flares. The
flares interact with asteroid vapor, creating brilliant bands of ionized gas thousands of kilometers long that
fill the system with fluorescing colors. The Flamewind lasts an average of three weeks, and the strong
radiation prevents all communications and in-system space traffic with the exception of message torpedoes.
Carrying personal weapons in the Oseon is a capital offense. [LCFW]

Oseon 2745
An asteroid in the Oseon system which is closer to the sun than most, and consequently is uncomfortably
hot in spite of its air-conditioning and life support systems. Oseon 2745 is primarily a mining colony,
unlike most of the pleasure-resort asteroids in the rest of the system. [LCMH]
Oseon 5792
Located in the Fifth Belt of Oseon asteroids, 5792 was the private estate of Bohhuah Mutdah, an
immensely fat retired industrialist who was the wealthiest individual in the Oseon system. The asteroid
was disk-shaped, fifteen kilometers in diameter and less than three kilometers thick. One side of the disk
was covered with lakes, trees, gardens, and a palace, all kept under transparent domes with artificial
gravity. The other side housed a well-defended spaceport containing a wide collection of spacecraft. The
asteroid was destroyed by Renatasian raiders during Lando Calrissian's smuggling mission in the Oseon
approximately three years prior to the Battle of Yavin. [LCFW]

Oseon 6845
The asteroid Oseon 6845, like most places in the Oseon system, caters to wealthy and powerful Oseoni. It
is the largest asteroid in the system -- 700 kilometers in diameter -- and has a surface honeycombed with
nightclubs and resorts, including the Hotel Drofo. The Esplanade, a tree-lined walkway with a three-meter
deep gravity field, is located at the center of a small city on the asteroid's equator. The stores fronting the
Esplanade are said to be among the most expensive properties in the galaxy. A spaceport is located on the
northern pole of 6845, and the asteroid has been artificially accelerated to give it a 25-hour rotational cycle.
[LCFW]

Oslumpex V
Vinda and D'rag, Starshipwrights and Aerospace Engineers Incorporated, have their operation on Oslumpex
V. Han Solo's ship was placed on the Red List because he owed 2500 credits to this company. [HSR]

Ossel II
A high-gravity world of steaming bogs and swamps, Ossel II is the homeworld of the dim-witted alien
species known as the Ossan. The Ossan have an extremely primitive society and have developed spears
and clubs to defend themselves against the cucul, a predator that resembles a floating log. Most
intergalactic visitors to Ossel II come to purchase syp wood, which the Ossan provide in exchange for
being allowed to serve a tour of duty on the trade ships. Some Ossan are used as agricultural slaves on
Karfeddion for benefit of the House Vandron. [GG4, COTJ]

Ossus
Ossus, located in the Adega system (one of the six remaining Auril systems in the Auril sector), orbits the
twin Adegan suns in a figure-eight trajectory. It was an important Jedi stronghold and learning center in
ancient times, and there is some speculation that the Order of Jedi Knights began on this planet. Ossus was
once covered with many cities and ground defenses, and the Knossa spaceport was located near a range of
rocky mountains. Points of interest on the Jedi world once included the Great Jedi Library and the peaceful
Gardens of Talla. The steep canyon walls are still covered with elaborate murals, and the planet's
atmosphere is charged with occasional electrical storms. Although Ossus' golden age is long past, some of
the ancient buildings that still stand include the library and a Jedi meditation chamber.

Nearly 4000 years ago during the Great Sith War, the fallen Jedi Exar Kun visited Ossus to recruit twenty
Jedi knights into the Sith cause. Before he departed, Kun killed Master Odan-Urr and stole a Sith holocron
from the Jedi Library. Later, an Ossan Jedi fleet was dispatched to the nearby Cron Cluster to defend the
besieged station Kemplex Nine. The fleet was destroyed when the Cluster went nova, and the resulting
shockwave threatened to devastate Ossus. An evacuation of the planet was immediately ordered, and as
many ancient relics as possible were loaded onto transports. At the same time, however, Exar Kun and Ulic
Qel-Droma appeared with their armies to loot the world of its valuables before the shockwave arrived. Kun
battled the Neti Jedi master Ood Bnar, who turned into a unyielding tree to protect a trove of the earliest
known lightsabers. Meanwhile, Ulic confronted and killed his brother Cay, and was seized with horror and
regret over what he had done. The Jedi (with the notable exception of Ood Bnar) left the planet just ahead
of the shockwave, which scorched and nearly wiped clean Ossus’ surface. Some Jedi survived, however,
after hiding their families in Ossus' great caverns, and their descendants grew into the Ysanna, a tribe of
warrior-shamans who use the Force to guide their primitive weapons. A 10,000 year-old lightsaber, given
to Leia Organa Solo by Vima-Da-Boda, surfaced 800 years ago in an archaeological dig on Ossus. Six
years after the Battle of Endor, Luke Skywalker visited an arid, sandy portion of the planet and discovered
the Ysanna tribe. Skywalker and Kam Solusar also fought the forces of Darkside Executor Sedriss and
unearthed the vault of lightsabers long hidden beneath the roots of Master Ood, who bravely sacrificed his
own life to end Sedriss'. At the time of Skywalker's departure, the New Republic was planning to send in
excavation teams to explore Ossus' ruins. Soon after, several of the Emperor's warriors came to Ossus and
captured three Ysanna leaders, whose bodies were to be used as raw material to create new clones for
Palpatine. Skywalker and his Jedi trainees followed the darkside kidnappers and defeated them on Vjun,
but were unable to free the captured Ysanna from their carbonite imprisonment. While on an undercover
mission to Borgo Prime thirteen years later, Skywalker and Tenel Ka claimed that they needed Corusca
gems to open a sealed treasure vault located on Ossus. [DE, FNU, DLOS, DE2, YJK, EE, TSW]

Otranto
When the Church of the First Frequency was purged from Otranto by Imperial Grand Inquisitor Torbin,
several surviving church members attempted to assassinate Torbin aboard a luxury liner. He was rescued
by the Tynnan Odumin, but was killed the following month on Weerden. [CSSB]

Ottega system
Located in the Lesser Plooriod Cluster, the Ottega (also Ottegan) system's fourth planet is Ithor.
Consequently, it is sometimes referred to as the Ithor system. The system also contains the planet Ottega,
where the smuggler Toob Ancher was permanently disfigured when a bounty hunter's faulty thermal
detonator exploded in his face. The smuggler Mako Spince was crippled by NaQoit bandits while making a
run to the Ottega system. In the time following the Battle of Hoth, the remnants of the traitorous Admiral
Harkov's fleet were discovered in the Ottega system by loyal Imperial forces. The late Harkov's former
flagship, the Victory-class Star Destroyer Protector, was trapped in realspace by the Interdictor cruiser
Harpax. Lord Vader planned for Admiral Zaarin's ships to arrive and finish off the Protector, but Zaarin
pulled a double-cross -- he attacked Vader's forces and then flew to Coruscant, where he planned to kidnap
the Emperor and complete his coup d'etat. Six years after the Battle of Endor, the New Republic troopship
Pelagia was rendezvousing with an X-wing group based in the Ottegan system when it, and its 100,000
ground troops, were wiped out by the Emperor's Galaxy Gun. [DE, SWS, EE, SWAJ, TSC]

Ottethan system
Neema, daughter of the Jedi Vima-Da-Boda, was executed in the Ottethan system for attempting to use the
dark side of the Force against her husband, an Ottegan warlord. The Ottethan system was the ruling system
of his twelve-system empire, located on the far perimeter of the galaxy. She was fed to the rancors that run
wild in the Ottethan forests. [DE]

Ovrax IV
The Kitonak jizz-wailer Snit (later Droopy McCool) was purchased by the bandleader Evar Orbus on the
planet Ovrax IV. [TFJP]

Pa'aal
Pa'aal is the primary moon of the fifth planet of the N'zoth system within the Koornacht Cluster of the
Farlax sector. The Yevethans maintained a brutal prisoner-of-war camp on Pa'aal, where they imprisoned
all the Imperial soldiers they captured after they took control of the Black Sword Command stardocks eight
months after the Battle of Endor. At one point the camp housed almost 300,000 individuals, but many
prisoners were killed after the Yevethans learned how to operate the capital warships on their own. Many
more committed suicide, and after the camp's third year the original population had been cut in half. After
twelve years of imprisonment the Imperial soldiers succeeded in creating jury-rigged slave units for the
warships that they were periodically called to serve upon. During the Battle of N'zoth, they activated these
slave circuits and departed with every Imperial vessel into the Deep Core. [SOL]

Paig
When the Fallanassi, religious followers of the White Current, were zealously persecuted on Lucazec, the
Fallanassi elders sent five children to other planets -- Teyr, Paig, and Carratos -- for safekeeping. [BTS]

Pakrik Major
Pakrik Major is the sister world of Pakrik Minor and is the capital of the Kanchen sector. A diplomatic
sector conference is held in the planet's capital city each year. Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, Han
Solo and Leia Organa Solo traveled to Pakrik Major to attend the conference. [SOTP]

Pakrik Minor
Located in the Kanchen sector, Pakrik Minor is the sister world of Pakrik Major. A lightly-populated
agricultural world, it features farms, resorts, fields of tallgrain and fruit, and a great deal of undeveloped
countryside including forests and mountains. Points of interest include Dorchess Valley. Animal life
includes the domesticated gornt, and a species of grain-destroying worm. A colony of clones was put onto
the planet during Grand Admiral Thrawn's attacks five years after Endor and was reactivated ten years later.
[SOTP]

Pakuuni system
The Pakuuni system, a hotbed of piracy and smuggling in the Outer Rim, contains the planet Pakuuni.
Following the Battle of Hoth, Vice Admiral Thrawn was sent to the system to eliminate the pirates and
make the area safe for shipping by establishing the Imperial space station NL-1. The Pakuuni pirates joined
with Rebel Alliance forces to drive out the Empire, but they were defeated. [TSC]

Palanhi
Located in the Palanhi system, Palanhi is a crossroads planet with a reputation for exaggerating its own
importance. The planet has remained neutral in an effort to profit from both sides of the galactic Civil War.
Grand Admiral Thrawn had funds transferred into Admiral Ackbar's account through the central bank on
Palanhi in an effort to discredit the Admiral and create a false trail to trap anyone who investigated. [DFR]

Pantolomin
Pantolomin is famous for the intricate coral reefs found in the waters off its northern continent. The Coral
Vanda, an underwater casino, travels through the network of reefs on three- and seven-day luxury
excursions. The Coral Vanda's eight gambling areas include the Saffkin and Tralla rooms, and patrons can
view the reefs' fish and animal life through the transparent hull. Other resorts on the planet include the
Towers of Pantolomin, owned by Galaxy Tours. The planet's animals include the playful, color-changing
amphibians known as halfbacks, and the inhabitants of Pantolomin are referred to as Lomins. Five years
after the Battle of Endor, Grand Admiral Thrawn's forces visited Pantolomin and forced the Coral Vanda to
surrender its passenger Captain Hoffner, who knew the location of the lost Katana fleet. Wraith Squadron
pilot and former child actor Garik "Face" Loran grew up on Pantolomin, but his family was originally from
Lorrd. [DFR, CSSB, SWAJ, XWWS]

Paonnid
Grand Admiral Thrawn's forces made information raids on several systems in the Paonnid region. Thrawn
also studied "Paonidd" extrassa art, which could be related. [HTTE]

Paqwepori
An autonomous territory once represented in the New Republic government by Belezaboth Ourn,
extraordinary consul of the Paqwepori. The native inhabitants, short, wide, yellow-green aliens called
Paqwe, are known to eat toko birds (which they kill with a ritual slaughter knife before consuming). The
Paqwepori societor forbid any of its citizens to join the New Republic military. Twelve years after the
Battle of Endor, the Paqwepori consular ship Mother's Valkyrie was damaged when the Yevethan thrustship
Aramadia blasted off from a Coruscant port without warning. In reality, Ourn had secretly allowed his
vessel to be damaged in exchange for a promised Yevethan thrustship of his own. Yevethan leader Nil
Spaar continued to use the promise of a thrustship to tempt Ourn into providing him more information
regarding Coruscant political developments. The members of Ourn's abandoned him, and Ilar Paqwe of
Paqwepori eventually revoked Ourn's status and warned him not to return to the Paqwe dominion. Ourn
subsequently revealed his treachery to the New Republic, which then used him to send disinformation to
Nil Spaar. [BTS, SOL, TT]

Paradise system
The garbage-strewn Paradise system is home to the quarrelsome, unicellular protozoans known as Ugors.
Early in their history the Ugors polluted their home planet in the system, yet survived by adopting a form
that could survive on garbage and waste. The Ugors, who have built a religion around their love of trash,
have begun charging fees to those wishing to make a "pilgrimage" to the Paradise system to pore through
and remove useful items from the vast store of garbage. Ugor society is composed of various waste
recovery companies, which are controlled by the Holy Ugor Taxation Collection Agency (HUTCA). Ugors
frequently find themselves in conflict with the Squibs for control of the galactic trash-hauling business.
[GG4]

Parfadi
The region of space known as Parfadi contains the unnavigable Black Nebula, and separates the planets
Arat Fraca and Motexx. [SOL]

Parmel system
After the Battle of Hoth, the traitorous Imperial Admiral Harkov was captured in the Parmel system and
brought before Darth Vader for questioning and execution. Later, the renegade Admiral Zaarin returned to
his deep-space R&D facility in the Parmel system to seize its TIE Defender prototypes. Loyal Imperial
forces captured the facility, but were forced to evacuate with the prototype TIEs when Zaarin tried to
destroy the space platform. [TSC]

Parmic system
The Parmic system contains a research facility operated by Imperial Admiral Zaarin. It was here that
Zaarin equipped his TIE squadrons with a new beam weapon in the time following the Battle of Hoth.
[TSC]

Paulking XIV
The home of the fur-bearing trout. A taxidermized specimen is on display in the Poly Pyramid tavern on
Rafa IV. [LCMH]

Pedducis Chorios
Located in the Chorios systems in the Meridian sector, Pedducis Chorios is a hotbed of smuggling and
piracy ruled by ruthless pirate warlords who have made alliances with the local chieftains. After the loss of
the Knight Hammer at Yavin 4, Imperial Admiral Daala became president of an independent group of 3000
settlers who wanted to settle on Pedducis Chorios and escape from the petty struggles going on in the
Empire. Daala made an alliance with Warlord K'iin of the Silver Unifir to take the smallest of Pedducis
Chorios' three southern continents, comprising one and one half billion acres, and colonize it as she saw fit.
[POT]

Pentastar Alignment
The Pentastar Alignment is a group of worlds in the Outer Rim, forged into a protective federation after the
Battle of Endor by Grand Moff Ardus Kaine. Kaine, Moff of the Outer Rim Territories following the death
of Grand Moff Tarkin, saw the Empire's defeat as an opportunity to form a new Empire under his own rule.
He called a meeting, dubbed the Pentastar Talks, aboard his Super Star Destroyer Reaper with Imperial
officials and representatives from two large private corporations. The resulting Alignment encompasses
hundreds of planets, including the Velcar Free Commerce Zone (containing Capza, Entralla, and Bextar)
and the worlds Jaemus and Criton's Point. While many aspects of the Alignment are very similar to those
of the old Empire, some notable differences exist -- the Alignment's legislative arm, for instance, has two
primary factions: Order (including the Politorate, Insurrection, Judgment, and Protectorate branches), and
Enforcement, represented by the Pentastar Patrol police force. The New Republic has done little to oppose
the Pentastar Alignment since its formation, but mercenary groups such as the Red Moons have secretly
worked to sabotage its operations. Pirates and freebooters have also become an increasing problem within
the Alignment. [SWAJ]

Peppel
A primitive world far from the Galactic Core. Thirteen years after Endor, four mercenaries on Tatooine
recognized Labria as the Butcher of Montellian Serat, and forced him to flee to Peppel. Two years later,
Boba Fett discovered his hiding place. Bypassing the elaborate defenses surrounding Labria's hut, Fett
captured his target and returned him to Devaron, where he was executed. [TBH]

Peridon's Folly
The seldom-visited backwater planet called Peridon's Folly is a vast weapons depot, operated by tradesmen
who sell the obsolete arms to crimelords on the black market. Gunrunners control various commercial
sectors, which are separated by wastelands where the weapons are tested. After deciding to seek work as a
bounty hunter, IG-88 traveled to Peridon's Folly and was hired by a local despot named Grlubb to take out a
rival weapons manufacturer. IG-88 broke into the rival's fortress and released their own lethal gasses,
killing everyone inside. Next the droid killed local resident Bolton Kek, one of the original designers of the
IG series. [TBH]

Perlemian Trade Route

The Perlemian Trade Route runs through the Darpa and Bormea sectors of the Ringali Shell and connects,
in order, the planets Corulag, Chandrila, Brentaal, Esseles, Rhinnal, and Ralltiir. The Arkanis sector and its
Pii system are a seven-day journey from the trade route. Activity along the route was severely curtailed by
Lord Tion's blockade of Ralltiir just prior to the Battle of Yavin. [SWAJ]

Pernam Minor
Meysen Kayson, wealthy owner of the Greel Wood Logging Corporation in the Pii system, had his life
saved on Pernam Minor by his friend Kassar Kosciusko. [SWAJ]

Pesitiin
Pesitiin is a gas giant planet located in the system of the same name. Many years ago, the Bosken &
Bosken company started an ambitious (though ultimately unprofitable) mining operation on Pesitiin. The
planet is famous for its perpetual atmospheric storms. Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, Admiral
Pellaeon scheduled a meeting with General Garm Bel Iblis at the abandoned mining center on Pesitiin to
discuss terms of the Empire's surrender. Moff Disra arranged for Pellaeon's ship to be attacked by pirates,
which had been disguised to look like Bel Iblis' personal raiders. [GG2, SOTP]

Pesmenben IV
A planet where Lando Calrissian ran a con-job on an Imperial governor. Calrissian laced the dunes of
Pesmenben IV with valuable lithium carbonate, convincing the governor to lease the planet, and then
tricked the governor into offering bribes to non-existent "union officials." [ROJN]

Petrakis
When the first group of Alliance B-wings saw action near Petrakis, an entire TIE wing turned and fled at
the sight of the powerful new craft. [FP]

Phenaru Prime
An entirely mythical planet, created by Alliance strategists to train Rogue Squadron pilots for a return
mission to Borleias. Since Borleias' location was classified, the pilots flew simulated attacks on Phenaru;
the run through the canyons of Borleias' moon was replaced with a run through a virtual asteroid ring
surrounding the spurious world. [XWRS]

Pho Ph'eah
Pho Ph'eah, with a wide variety of terrain, is the homeworld of the Pho Ph'eahians -- aliens with blue fur
and four arms. Pho Ph'eah orbits far from its star and receives little sunlight, but is warmed by active
geothermal energy. The planet was contacted by the Old Republic millennia ago, and the technologically-
skilled Pho Ph'eahians have long been members of the larger galaxy. The assistant manager in the main
lounge of Bonadan Spaceport Southeast II was a native of Pho Ph'eah. [HSR, CSSB]

Phorliss
The smuggler Mara Jade briefly worked as Karrinna Jansih, a serving girl in a Phorliss cantina, following
the death of the Emperor. [DFR]

Phosphura Belt Nebula

Located near several major trade lanes, the Phosphura Belt Nebula is a mass of greenish clouds randomly
charged with electromagnetic bursts. It is a serious navigation hazard, and is home to the highly-organized
Phosphura Belt Pirates. The space station Zirtran's Anchor drifts near the nebula. [SWAJ]

Phracas
After Lando, Lobot, and the droids stowed away on the Teljkon vagabond, the ship jumped towards Sector
One-Five-One in the direction of Phracas, in the Core. [SOL]

Phraetiss
Lando Calrissian ran a botched operation on Phraetiss about ten years before the rise of Grand Admiral
Thrawn. It was here that he made the acquaintance of the smuggler Niles Ferrier. [DFR]

Picris
Captain Zothip, leader of the Cavrilhu pirate gang, had financial associates on Picris who were aware of his
secret connection with Moff Disra. [SOTP]

Pii system
The Pii system is located in the Arkanis sector, on the border of the Mid-Rim and Outer Rim. There is little
of value in the region of space but it can be easily reached, and lies just seven days from the Perlemian
Trade Route. The system's seven planets orbit a red giant, and the inner two worlds are scorched balls of
rock. An asteroid belt is next, followed by the lush green worlds of Pii 3 and 4. Next is a barren fifth
planet, another asteroid field, and a gas giant, while the seventh world is an ice-covered ball. Pii 3 and 4
are the only profitable worlds in the area, and are known for the valuable crimson greel wood harvested and
exported from their forests. The entrepreneur Meysen Kayson bought the rights to both planets in the last
days of the Old Republic, intending to open a nature preserve. When he discovered the fast-growing greel
trees and their deep, luxurious wood, he founded the Greel Wood Logging Corporation. Efforts to
transplant the greel tree to other environments have proven unsuccessful, and for now the Pii system is the
exclusive source. Kayson secretly diverts most of its profits from his logging company to the Alliance,
while allowing the planets to be used as Rebel training grounds and safeworlds. Pii 4 has harsher
geography and more rainfall than its sister world, which is covered with gentle rolling plains. Pii 3 was
once home to seventh Duro Relocation Colony, which has since been abandoned. Many lifeforms inhabit
the planets, including the larkin nerf and zronta grazer on Pii 3 and the greel screamer and timber render
predators of Pii 4. Following the Battle of Yavin, a Habassan convoy was attacked by Imperial gunboats
near Pii 2, but was rescued by Alliance starfighters. [SWAJ, FP]

Pil Diller
Pil Diller was once home to a species of mournful singing fig trees, according to the Holographic Zoo of
Extinct Animals on Coruscant. The planet also has many beaches. [DA, DS]

Pinnacle Moon
(see Da Soocha V)

Piroket
Piroket is located close to the planet Tatooine. The Rebel agent Riij Winward, having stolen a droid
carrying the complete technical readouts of the "Hammertong" prior to the Battle of Yavin, planned to
deposit the droid with a Bothan shipping company on Piroket. [TFTC, SWAJ]

Pirol-5
Located in the Koornacht Cluster in the Farlax sector, Pirol-5 was the former location of an Imperial
factory farm, run largely by droids. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, the planet was seized by the
Yevethan military in what the Yevethans called the Great Purge. [BTS]

Pit
The Pit is an uninhabited, asteroid-strewn area of space located on the opposite side of the Maw from the
planet Kessel. Smugglers making the Kessel Run must pass both the Maw and the Pit before making it to
their hyperspace jump point. The Pit's asteroids and thick nebula gasses make it a particularly difficult area
to navigate. [HG]

Pits of Plooma
During his smuggling years, Han Solo attended an Ithorian Herd Meeting located "halfway from the Pits of
Plooma to the Galactic Rim." [COTJ]

Plah
A lifeless moon orbiting Tibrin. [GG4]

Plooriod III
The brutal Overlord Ghorin, ruler of the Greater Plooriod Cluster, kept a small palace on Plooriod III atop a
rocky spire in a peaceful sea. It was here that Darth Vader visited and killed Ghorin for his apparent
doublecross of the Empire, in the time following the Battle of Yavin. [FP]

Plooriod IV
The Alliance captured a group of Overlord Ghorin's Y-wing fighters near Plooriod IV, for use in a elaborate
plan to discredit the Overlord in the eyes of the Empire. Later, the Imperial frigate Red Wind was
discovered near the planet and was destroyed by Alliance corvettes. [FP]

Poderis
Poderis, in the Orus sector, is a harsh world with a ten-hour rotational cycle and a severe axial tilt which
can create windstorms of up to 200 km/hr. In addition, the unusual geology of Poderis has forced its
colonists to build their cities on the tops of a vast network of mesas. An angled wall one hundred meters
wide (called a shield-barrier) runs along the outer edge of these cities, which helps deflect Poderis'
damaging seasonal winds. Poderis' stubborn colonists are fiercely independent and the unimportant planet
seldom receives visitors. Luke Skywalker visited Poderis in an attempt to uncover the Empire's clone
trafficking network, and narrowly escaped a trap set for him by Grand Admiral Thrawn. [LC]
Polith system
The Polith system contains the planet Thyferra, the homeworld of the Vratix and the center of the galaxy's
bacta industry. [SWAJ]

Polneye
Polneye is a dry world located in the Koornacht Cluster in the Farlax sector (on the far side of the Cluster
from Coruscant). The planet is covered by high cirrus clouds whose rain almost never reaches the surface.
Years ago, it was established by the Empire's Black Sword Command as a secret military transshipment
point for the sector, and became a busy supply depot and open-air armory with many landing pads built
upon the brown flatlands. Over time, the population expanded and small cities sprung up around each
landing zone. When the Empire abandoned the Farlax sector following the Battle of Endor, Polneye's
quarter-million civilians (calling themselves Polneyi) were left behind and forced to fend for themselves.
They took advantage of the valuable resources forgotten by the fleeing Imperials and became a reasonably
prosperous unified state made up of eight cities -- Three North, Nine South, Nine North, Ten South, Eleven
South, Eleven North, Twelve North, and the empty city of Fourteen North. Twelve years after the Battle of
Endor, Polneye was brutally attacked by the Yevethan military on the fortieth day of Mofat, in what the
Yevethans called the Great Purge. Plat Mallar, a Grannan citizen of Ten South on blue level near the algae
pool, took one of Polneye's six operational TIE Interceptors and was able to destroy a Yevethan scout
fighter. He then attempted to reach the planet Galantos in the short-range TIE but was picked up by a New
Republic prowler, which alerted the Republic leaders to the recent aggressive actions of the Yevethans.
Mallar was nursed back to health on Coruscant and became a New Republic pilot. Admiral Ackbar helped
push through an emergency petition for membership in the New Republic for Polneye, which Leia swiftly
approved. [BTS]

Porus Vida
Porus Vida is famous throughout the galaxy for its centuries-old cultural museums. The planet was
relatively undefended against attack, and Imperial Admiral Daala targeted the museums and their priceless
treasures for destruction as a psychological blow against the New Republic. In the subsequent attack,
Colonel Cronus and his fleet of Victory-class Star Destroyers devastated the planet. [DS]

Poviduze system
After the Battle of Hoth, Alliance operatives were sent to the Inner Rim and Expansion Region, to search
for tibanna gas deposits on gas giant planets in the Lequabis, K'taktaxka, Poviduze, and Kelavine systems
and the Shasfath Cluster. [SWAJ]

Praesitlyn
The location of a major communications station, located within sixty light-years of Bpfassh in the Sluis

Prakith
Located in the system of the same name in Sector One in the Galactic Core, Prakith lies about one hundred
six light years beyond the borders of the New Republic. The planet is the ruling world of the Constitutional
Protectorate controlled by the Imperial warlord Foga Brill. Brill keeps power over the region by accepting
bribes from Prakith's wealthy families and maintaining order with the brutal Red Police. Many of Prakith's
citizens are forced to toil in the local foundries and slit mines, and numerous inhabitants of the riverbank
cities of Prall and Skoth are executed after being forced to dig their own graves. The natives of the planet
speak a language called Prak. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, when Lando Calrissian, Lobot, R2-
D2, and C-3PO stowed away on the mysterious Teljkon vagabond, the ship came out of hyperspace eight
light years from Prakith. The frigate Bloodprice, part of Brill's defensive fleet, detected the vagabond and
attempted to capture it, but was destroyed by the mystery ship which then vanished into hyperspace. The
Prakith cruiser Gorath later caught up with the vagabond but was also destroyed. [SOL, TT]

Praxlis
Praxlis is located in the former center of the Empire's Rim territories. During the Empire's reign, the Black
Sword Command was charged with the defense of Praxlis, Corridan, and the entire Kokash and Farlax
sectors. [BTS]

Prildaz
Located in the Koornacht Cluster, Prildaz is one of the primary worlds of the alien Yevethan species and is
a member of the Duskhan League. The star system, known as ILC-905 in New Republic records, contains
at least twelve planets and an asteroid belt between the fourth and fifth planetary orbits. Prildaz, appearing
yellow and brown from space, is the third planet in the system and was location of the Black Nine
shipyards. Thirteen years after Endor, the New Republic attacked Prildaz, destroying the shipyards and
demolishing several Yevethan thrustships despite heavy losses. [TT]

Prindaar system

Pydyr
One of three inhabited moons orbiting the remote planet Almania. Pydyr's climate is dry and salty, with a
much warmer average temperature than that of Almania. The native Pydyrians are humanoid aliens with
long arms and small mouths set in oval faces. Their cities are built near the ocean coasts, set amid
artificially landscaped hills and paved with sandstone slabs. Local architecture tends towards large, wide,
blocky structures of brown mudbrick, supported by thick columns and decorated with intricate frescoes
painted by some of the most exclusive artists that money can buy. These frescoes are often speckled with
inlayed seafah jewels, multicolored stones that form in the shells of microscopic sealife. A great number of
droids were routinely employed to clean the streets and perform routine maintenance.

Centuries ago the natives invented the Pydyrian healing stick -- a white cylinder that leaves behind a
healing powder when rubbed against a wound -- but the popular remedy was eventually supplanted by
Thyferran bacta. Pydyr's wealthy inhabitants remained elite and aristocratic, restricting access to their
moon and earning them the resentment of their inter-system neighbors, the Almanians. Emperor Palpatine
requested the aristocracy's help in financing the Imperial war machine, but when the Pydyrians refused in
an effort to remain neutral, Palpatine chose instead to leave them alone -- the world's considerable distance
from the Core meant that an Imperial "pacification" effort would be time-consuming and wasteful.
Thirteen years after the Battle of Endor, an insane Almanian named Kueller destroyed nearly the entire
population of Pydyr with hundreds of explosive-rigged droids. 1,651,305 Pydyrians were killed and their
bodies swiftly disposed of, while the cities suffered no major collateral damage. Kueller intended to sell
off Pydyr's buildings, jewels, and clothing as specially-arranged "collector's sets" in order to finance his
campaign against the New Republic. Only one thousand trained seafah jewelers were spared death. When
Luke Skywalker arrived at Almania, he scanned only ten people on the entire moon of Pydyr and flew in to
investigate. As he attempted to land, his X-wing exploded and the Jedi Master suffered severe burns.
Kueller disarmed his weakened opponent and transferred Skywalker to Almania to serve as bait for his
sister Leia Organa Solo. [NR]

Pyjridj
A pickpocket on Pyjridj once told Lando Calrissian that four out of every five belt pouches he stole
contained passcodes, and it typically took less than a minute to find them. [BTS]

Pypin
One of the Trianii colony worlds within the disputed border of the Corporate Sector. [CSSB]

Pyria system
Located only hours from the Mirit and Venjagga systems at the edge of the Galactic Core, the Pyria
system's fourth planet is Borleias. Borleias is also the system's only inhabited world, and served as the base
of operations for General Evir Derricote, commander of Imperial forces in the Pyria system. After the New
Republic captured Borleias, ships sent by Warlord Zsinj began making reconnaissance raids into the
system. [XWRS, XWWG]

Pzob
The third planet in the K Seven Forty-nine system, Pzob is a world of thick, ancient forests which was
colonized by a group of Gamorreans many years ago. Official reports on Pzob have not been updated in
almost fifty years. Some eighteen years before the Battle of Yavin, the Empire established a base on Pzob
where forty-five stormtroopers were to await the Eye of Palpatine. The battlemoon never arrived, and over
the years every stormtrooper except Triv Pothman was killed by internal fighting and constant skirmishes
with the Gamorreans. Pothman served as a slave in the Gamorrean Gakfedd clan village for two years,
followed by a year with the Klagg clan. Eight years after the Battle of Endor, Luke Skywalker and his
companions landed on Pzob. A ship from the Eye of Palpatine captured them, Pothman, and the Klagg and
Gakfedd clans. [COTJ]

Qalita Prime
Qalita Prime is a New Republic member world located in the Seventh Security Zone. Twelve years after
the Battle of Endor, pirate attacks near the planet had grown so severe that cargo syndicates were
threatening to stop supplying the world. The Right Earl of Qalita Prime came to Coruscant to ask for help
against the pirates, and Admiral Ackbar suggested that the newly-commissioned Fifth Fleet travel there as a
show of support. [BTS]

Qat Chrystac
General Garm Bel Iblis fought Grand Admiral Thrawn's forces at Qat Chrystac, where Thrawn used
Interdictor Cruisers to bring his ships out of hyperspace at precise locations. More than one assault was
staged, and Wedge Antilles helped battle two squadrons of cloned TIE pilots during the first. Imperial
shock forces were working their way across Qat Chrystac during Thrawn's siege of Coruscant. Bel Iblis
was at Qat Chrystac when he intercepted a distress call from Lando Calrissian's Nomad City mining
complex on Nkllon. [LC]

Qella (Maltha Obex)

The ice planet Qella, located in the system of the same name, is home to the alien species also known as the
Qella -- a race that was thought to have been extinct for over 150 years. The Qella's ancient ancestors are
the Qonet, who were in turn descended from the Ahra Naffi. (A related species, also descended from the
Ahra Naffi eons ago, are the Khotta of the planet Kho Nai.) The Qella have oval-shaped bodies, four long
double-jointed limbs with three-fingered hands, and communicate in a pitch-based language. They are one
of only six recorded alien species with eighteen different molecular pairs in their genetic code. Their
bodies also contain billions of "Eicroth bodies," tiny capsules which contain extra genetic material to serve
as blueprints in the construction of bizarre organic artifacts. Qella's atmosphere is too thick for humans to
breathe unassisted. The planet's star is called M'oka Brath by the natives, who call their planet Brath Qella.
Before its recent climactic catastrophe, the world was a reddish-brown sphere with blue oceans and black
mountain ranges that orbited a pale yellow star and was circled by red and gray moons.

The Qella eventually developed the technology to colonize other planets, but chose instead to remain on
their homeworld. They were first contacted by a small scout vessel of the Third General Survey, an Old
Republic program established to explore the habitable planets in the galaxy's spiral arms. The Republic
researchers recorded a native population of seven million, then departed. But the Qella had realized that
the smaller of their two moons would soon impact with their homeworld and trigger a devastating ice age.
To preserve their society they buried themselves deep beneath the ground and constructed a vast organic
starship (known to the galaxy as the Teljkon vagabond) to return one day and thaw the planet, restoring
them to life. A larger Old Republic contact vessel arrived at Qella eight years after the first visit and found
a dead world, with more than a third of its surface covered with kilometer-thick ice and oceans choked with
glaciers. Analysts speculated that several large asteroid impacts had destroyed the planet's ecosystem. The
contact vessel collected several genetic and archaeological specimens and planned a comprehensive follow-
up visit, but the outbreak of the Clone Wars brought an end to the Third General Survey. Later, the alien
Tobek arrived and claimed the barren planet, giving it the name of Maltha Obex (which still appears on
many star charts). Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, an archaeological team from the Obroan Institute
was dispatched to Qella to search for any clues about the enigmatic Teljkon vagabond "ghost ship." The
researchers nearly discovered the bodies underneath the ice, but were tragically killed by an avalanche. A
second research team was then dispatched to the planet, but it was Luke Skywalker who solved the mystery
of the vagabond's function and jump-started the thawing process. [BTS, SOL, TT]

Q'nithian system
The Q'nithian system contains many moons, but only one of these moons has its own atmosphere --
providing a home for both the gelatinous mimbrane creature and the Q'nithian aeropteryx. Mimbranes
grow like thick fungus along the walls of the moon's deep fault lines, which continually grind against one
another due to the strong tidal pull of the moon's primary. The simple creatures live on acoustic energy --
the most ancient are buried deep in the heart of the shelf colonies and have stored geologic grinding sounds
from thousands of years in the past. New, fresh mimbranes are often used for espionage, since their organic
nature makes them difficult to detect on sensor scans. The hand-sized creatures are covered with tympanic
cells and possess rudimentary legs and sensory organs. The mimbrane is flat when "empty" and puffed-up
when it has stored a conversation -- these recorded sounds can be played by gently pushing on the
mimbrane's skin. The Q'nithian aeropteryx is an intelligent feathered alien with two-taloned hands, a
rudimentary beak, and beady black eyes (often nearsighted). They move about by waddling on the tips of
their flightless gray wings. [MA]

Qretu-Five
A lush, verdant planet with towering mountains and a warm, moist climate, Qretu-Five is the location of a
bacta-producing colony operated by the bacta planet Thyferra. It is surrounded by a ring of asteroids that
are clearly visible in the night sky. After the members of Rogue Squadron resigned from the New Republic
military approximately three years after the Battle of Endor, they destroyed the Q5A7 Bacta Refinement
Plant on Qretu-Five (located near a bay and a mountain cliff) in order to hurt Ysanne Isard's bacta-
producing capability. [XWBW]

Quanta sector
The Quanta sector, formerly ruled by Moff Jerjerrod, contains the planet Tinnel IV. [SWAJ]

Quelii sector
The Quelii sector contains the planet Dathomir. The sector was once under the control of Imperial Warlord
Zsinj. [COPL]

Quian
The human inhabitants of Quian have light brown hair, aqua-green eyes, and dark complexions. The
Imperial spy Benald Orlan is a native of Quian. When Orlan informed the Empire that members of his
family were Alliance sympathizers, his father and siblings were executed. [SWAJ]

Quintar Nebula
Found on few star charts, the Quintar Nebula is a thick mass of colorful, swirling clouds that can blind
sensors and ionize flight-control systems. Tron Nixx, the navigator for Drek Drednar's pirate crew, used the
Force to chart a safe route through the Nebula, where he discovered the hidden world of Taraloon. [SWAJ]

Rachuk sector
Lying close to the Galactic Core, the Rachuk sector borders the Morobe sector and contains the Chorax,
Hensara, and Rachuk systems. The sector was controlled from an Imperial base, located on Vladet in the
Rachuk system. [XWRS]

Rachuk system
The Rachuk system is located in the Rachuk sector and contains the planet Vladet, site of an Imperial sector
headquarters. A great deal of trade and shipping traffic passes through the centrally-located system. The
Rachuk roseola virus infects anyone visiting the system, and manifests itself as a red, itchy rash. Some
three years after the Battle of Endor, the Alliance destroyed the Vladet base and forced the Empire to divert
more of its forces to the Rachuk system, diluting its strength elsewhere. [XWRS]

Rafa system
Bordering the Oseon system, the eleven planets and numerous moons of the Rafa system are covered with
the enormous plastic ruins of the ancient Sharu. The buildings are among the largest constructions in the
galaxy and are quite impenetrable. Many human colonies, dating from the early days of the Old Republic,
have sprung up around and between the structures. The system was also inhabited by a primitive humanoid
species known as the Toka, who were treated as slaves by the Rafa colonists. The system is famous for its
life orchards -- groves of crystalline trees whose crystal "fruit" can extend an individual's life when
harvested and worn. Working among the crystal trees themselves, however, drains a person's life and
intellect, and consequently most of the harvesting is done by the Toka or the criminals in the Rafa's
numerous penal colonies. Following Lando Calrissian's procurement of the Mindharp from Rafa V
approximately four years prior to the Battle of Yavin, the Toka were revealed to actually be the Sharu and
regained their civilization and mental abilities. [LCMH]
Rafa III
The location of a deep-bore mining operation using laser drillbits. [LCMH]

Rafa IV
Rafa IV is the center of government for the Rafa system. It was ruled by Duttes Mer, colonial governor of
the Rafa, until the government was overthrown by the resurgent Toka. Its main spaceport city, Teguta
Lusat, lies wedged between the colossal plastic ruins of the Sharu. The city contains numerous taverns, the
Hotel Sharu, and a penal colony where the prisoners serve their sentences harvesting crystals from the life
orchards. [LCMH, LCFW]

Rafa V
A frozen, dry world of red sand, archaeoastronomers believe that the ancient Sharu evolved on this planet.
Orbiting the world are Rafa V's twin moons and a cloud of debris that might be the result of the Sharu's
early attempts at spaceflight. It is the site of many life-orchards, harvested by a few hundred convicts,
horticulturists, and Toka living in fewer scattered settlements. A colossal Sharu pyramid, projecting seven
kilometers above ground level, towers over the other ruins of Rafa V and was the resting place of the
famous artifact called the Mindharp. [LCMH]

Rafa XI
The outermost planet in the Rafa system, Rafa XI is a world of icy slush orbiting in the dark. It is the site
of a research installation and a helium refinery. [LCMH]

Rafft
A green, forested world with several modest settlements. A small, twelve-man Rebel base was located in a
complex of caves on Rafft just prior to the Battle of Yavin. The Rebels, led by Commander Brion Peck,
were sent to the planet to sabotage the construction of an Imperial garrison. The group was evacuated by
the smuggler Dannen Lifehold after a homing beacon betrayed the base's location. [SWAJ]

Raithal
The location of the Raithal Academy, the most prestigious training center in the entire Empire. After the
Battle of Yavin, medical experts from Raithal were sent to an orbiting hospital frigate to study the outbreak
of Candorian plague on Dentaal. [SWAJ]

Rakrir
The homeworld of a sentient insectoid alien species. Rakririans are wealthy, highly cultured, and known to
be rather finicky -- few leave their homeworld because they are typically dissatisfied with the level of
sophistication on other planets. Sabodor, owner of Sabodor's pet store on Etti IV, was a native of Rakrir.
[HSSE, CSSB]

Ralltiir
Ralltiir, located in the system of the same name, lies along the Perlemian Trade Route in the Darpa sector
of the Core Worlds, just on the border of the Colonies region. Indigenous animal life includes the deadly
Ralltiir tiger. Over the last several hundred years, Ralltiir was the only planet in the Darpa sector that was
able to maintain its independence from the nearby world of Esseles. In recent history, Ralltiir was an
attractive, high-technology world famous for its banking industry and home to the Grallia Spaceport. The
planet's powerful financial institutions were politically neutral and had a reputation as a "safe haven" for
investors' funds. With the rise of the Empire, certain factions began to infiltrate Ralltiir's financial system
and steer its markets in a pro-Imperial direction -- erasing the fiscal records of alien investors, for instance.
Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, pro-Alliance members of the Ralltiir High Council tried to stop this and
restore balance to the markets -- inspiring the Emperor to use Ralltiir as an example to other worlds that
would resist his will. A brutal Imperial force, led by Lord Tion, immediately invaded Ralltiir and left the
planet and its ten billion inhabitants in shambles. Tion disbanded the High Council, replaced it with a
military tribunal headed by Imperial Governor Dennix Graeber, and set up interrogation centers and public
executions of Rebel leaders. He also sealed off the entire Ralltiir system (not even permitting relief
organizations to travel through his blockade), severely hurting commerce along the Perlemian Trade Route.
Princess Leia Organa, on a mercy mission to deliver medical supplies and equipment to the High Council
of Ralltiir, was permitted to land by Tion. The Princess rescued a wounded Rebel soldier, who later
revealed the existence of the Death Star project. Ralltiir's economy is now in ruins, as many of its powerful
corporations have relocated offworld. Since the occupation, Governor Graeber has been getting rich by
secretly supplying the Rebel underground with weapons, which he then uses as a justification to persecute
Ralltiir's citizens even further. Prior to the Battle of Yavin, an Alliance raid on the Cygnus Corporation's
starfighter performance trials near Ralltiir resulted in the capture of the Assault Gunboat design team. Elea
Poista, a top Exex at Bespin Motors and an occasional Alliance contact, gained her position after
transferring from a shipping company on Ralltiir. Inath of Ralltiir, a member of the New Republic's
Council, had several of his associates murdered by the Emperor's Noghri assassins. He later pressured Leia
Organa Solo to retire her personal Noghri bodyguard, claiming it sent the wrong signal. Famed Rogue
Squadron pilot Derek "Hobbie" Klivan is a native of Ralltiir. [SWR, SWS, MTS, GG2, FP, SWAJ, POT,
BTS, XW]

Rampa
A heavy industrial world in the Corporate Sector with an extremely high degree of pollution and
contamination. The Rampa Skywatch keeps an eye out for water smugglers hidden among the regular
cargo traffic, for Rampa's citizens are willing to pay a very high price for pure R'alla mineral water. Han
Solo and Chewbacca made some smuggling runs "down the Rampa Rapids" during their early adventures.
[HSR, HSLL, CSSB]

Rampa I
Approximately four years before the Battle of Yavin, the citizens of Rampa I revolted against the Empire,
following a Rebel uprising on their sister planet Rampa II. [HG]

Rampa II
Approximately four years before the Battle of Yavin, Rebel forces raided an Imperial base on Rampa II.
Immediately afterwards, Imperial forces crushed the Rebels, killing many civilians in the process. [HG]

Randon
Female ward-cousins on the planet Randon are traditionally honored (due to their potential inheritance) and
are customarily served first. Randoni women wear their hair loose and flowing, and an alcoholic drink
from Randon is the Randoni Yellow Plague. Luke Skywalker and Tenel Ka posed as archaeological traders
from Randon during their undercover mission to Borgo Prime. [YJK]

Rathalay
Rathalay is a planet is known for its expansive gray basaltic beaches, which are seldom crowded by
tourists. The vast oceans harbor large, dangerous predators, including schools of sharp-toothed narkaa,
while tiny sea motes leave behind beautiful, jewel-like shells. Nine hundred meters below the water's
surface lies the wreck of the starfreighter Just Cause, which crashed years ago while carrying a cargo of
precious metals. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, Han Solo, Leia, and their children relaxed on the
Rathalay beach during the crisis in the Koornacht Cluster. [SOL]

Raxxa
Raxxa is represented by Dall Thara Dru in the New Republic Senate. Dru is also the chairman of the
Senate Commerce Council and is the only female member of the Ruling Council. [TT]

Rayter sector
The Rayter sector contains the planet Karra, located in the sector's largely unexplored rimward section.
[SWAJ]

Reboam
A harsh, sparsely-populated world in the Hapes cluster. According to Hapan Queen Mother Ta'a Chume,
Reboam once served as a hiding place and as the location of a training center for a group of fifty Jedi
Knights, though the veracity of her story has been called into question. Supposedly, after one year the
knights were discovered by Darth Vader and a group of Dark Jedi, who killed the knights and had them
sealed in Reboam's ancient ruins. [COPL]

Redcap
Redcap is a rainy, barren world of shifting mud plains, crossed with jagged canyons and mountain ranges.
Since ships can easily sink in the thick mud, landings are restricted to the stable Tyma Canyon, which runs
for several hundred kilometers across the planet's surface. Redcap's human inhabitants -- the poverty-
stricken descendants of early mining colonists -- live in settlements built on the bases of the mountain
chains. Repulsorlifts are inoperable on Redcap, since the omnipresent mud clogs their systems. Instead,
residents travel on olai, horned beasts of burden originally brought from a nearby moon to Redcap for use
in the mining industry. Points of interest on the planet include Juteau Settlement, which was built near the
Garish Ridge and contains the Laughing Bantha tavern. Ruck's Rut is a multileveled network of rifts and
fissures located in Tyma Canyon. Redcap is shrouded in gray skies, though low patches of lavender-pink
clouds sometimes hug the world's surface. Redcap is nominally under the Empire's control and has a
minimal Imperial presence, though the planet's 140,000 inhabitants possess no form of organized
government. The old smuggler Toob Ancher, suffering from the Bitter Winter disease, came with Drake
Paulsen to Redcap, where the old man's checkered life came to an end. [SWAJ]

Reegan system
Imperial lieutenant Brandei had just completed business in the Reega system before he delivered the young
girl Alex to Garos IV, for adoption by Tork and Sali Winger. [SWAJ]

Regar I & II
Regar I is the fifth planet in the Garos system; Regar II is the sixth. [SWAJ]

Reginard
Independent operative Dirk Harkness served as a mechanic in a hidden Rebel base on Reginard soon after
he joined the Alliance. [SWAJ]

Regolith Prime
Approximately four years before the Battle of Yavin, one of Jabba the Hutt's operatives on Regolith Prime
forwarded a Coruscant newscast program to his boss on Nal Hutta. [HG]

Reithcas sector
The Reithcas sector contains the planet Bortras. [DFR]

Rellnas Minor
Rellnas Minor is home to the Rellarin, large aliens with shell plates, black eyes, and mouth spikes. Fifteen
years after the Battle of Endor, Luke Skywalker met a Rellarin -- Moshene Tre, Un'Yala of the Cas'ta tribe
and a New Republic Observer -- while on a visit to Cejansij. [SOTP]

Reltooine
A planet in the Corporate Sector. Reltooine is one of the stops made by the luxury liner Lady of Mindor
during its voyage from Roonadan to Ammuud. [CSSB]

Renatasia system
The Renatasia system, containing eight planets orbiting a yellow star, is located far outside civilized space.
It was apparently colonized in a long-forgotten mission many thousands of years ago in Pre-Republic days.
No records exist of this early colonization, and the Renatasians gradually became unaware of their
extrastellar origin. Renatasia III and IV are green, pleasant worlds, though the Renatasians had colonized
every planet in their system by the time they were discovered by a damaged trader ship.

The Empire decided to send representatives to probe the society's weaknesses, and the Ottdefa Osuno
Whett and the droid Vuffi Raa were sent as envoys to the nation-state of Mathilde on Renatasia IV's
second-largest continent. After observing the locals for 700 days, a full report was transmitted and the
Imperial fleet arrived, which began to collect slaves and taxes. The Renatasians resisted, and the fleet
attempted to seize the system intact through the use of ground forces -- taking heavy losses in a costly but
inevitable Imperial victory. Over two-thirds of the population in the Renatasia system was killed in the
pacification effort. [LCFW, LCSC]

Rendili
The location of the Rendili space construction center, one of the facilities used by the Emperor to build his
largest warships and special weapons platforms. Rendili StarDrive manufactures the Victory-class Star
Destroyer. [SWS, ISWU]

Resti Kel
The site of the Kellermin Competition, a respected marksmanship contest. Alliance general Arien Cracken
witnessed the crossbow skill of bounty hunter Boddu Bocck while visiting the Kellermin Competition on
Resti Kel. [SWAJ]

Retep III
In the time following the Battle of Yavin, a group of Habassan freighters delivered a cargo of foodstuffs to
the Alliance at a rendezvous near Retep III. The transfer operation was attacked by Imperial starfighters.
[FP]

Retep V
A Habassan convoy was ambushed by Imperial corvettes near Retep V following the Battle of Yavin. An
Alliance strike force helped rescue the convoy. [FP]

Rhinnal
Rhinnal is located in the Darpa sector of the Core Worlds, along the Perlemian Trade Route. The planet has
recently emerged from an ice age, and has a surface covered with fjords, mountains, and frigid rivers.
Rhinnal was a colony world of nearby Esseles until the rise of the Empire, when the Imperials took over
direct control from the planet's Esselian governor. Though it is now ruled by the unobtrusive Imperial
Governor Phadreas Kole, many of the planet's major decisions are still made by the heads of various ethnic
clans, traditional groups linked by kinship. The planet's 55 million inhabitants place great value on
ceremonies and commemorations, and often wear elaborate, colorful clothing. Rhinnal has been famous
for generations for its expertise in medicine, and produces the most respected doctors in the galaxy from its
training programs. The last remaining Jedi chapter house in the Core Worlds is located on Rhinnal and still
accepts patients, though none of its staff are Jedi. The planet's capital city is Rhire, which boasts the
prestigious state Medical Academy. After the Battle of Yavin, medical experts from Rhinnal were sent to
an orbiting hospital frigate to study the outbreak of Candorian plague on Dentaal. [SWAJ]

Riileb
The homeworld of the alien species also known as Riilebs. Riilebs, almost as tall as Wookiees, are
humanoids with antennae that can detect the biorhythm changes of others. Single Riileb females are bald,
while married females and all males have hair. Tere Metallo, a tough free-trader who eventually began
working for the Alliance, is a female native of Riileb. Metallo was the eldest daughter to the MotherClan
on her homeworld, and would have inherited the ClanRing at the age of 30 had she not been sold into
slavery by a jealous sister. [SWAJ]

Rimma
The controversial jatz musician Fitz Roi was deported from Rimma after shooting his antique projectile
pistols in the Teirra Parko's Crystal Room, located in the main city of Recardeon. Millions of fans rioted
upon learning of the scheduled concert's cancellation, causing several hundred thousand credits damage to
Recardeon. [SWAJ]

Ringali Nebula
The Ringali Nebula is a spectacular stretch of violet gasses located within the Ringali Shell, and can be
seen in the night sky of all the Shell's planets. [SWAJ]

Ringali Shell
The Ringali Shell is a region of space running from the mid-Core to the Colonies region. The Shell
encompasses the Bormea and Darpa sectors, the intersection of the Perlemian Trade Route and the Hydian
Way, and the colorful Ringali Nebula. [SWAJ]

Ringneldia system
Lando Calrissian picked up replacement parts for the Millennium Falcon while in the Ringneldia system,
where all part sizes are standardized around the diameter of a native bean. [LCSC]

Ripoblus
One of the two primary worlds of the Sepan system, with the planet Dimok. The long war between Dimok
and Ripoblus was forcibly ended by the intervention of Imperial forces after the Battle of Hoth, though the
two worlds briefly (and unsuccessfully) tried to unite against the Empire as their common foe. [TSC]

Rishi
Located in the Rish system. The only places on Rishi habitable by its colonists are the humid, congested
valleys, though the native avian Rishii inhabit the high mountains surrounding the city-vales. The
conservative colonists live in white stone buildings and forbid the use of repulsorlift vehicles on the streets
in the morning. Animal life on Rishi includes the dangerous Maungurs in the planet's warm polar regions,
who have flexible "limb-tails" as forelimbs and feature prominently in Rishii legends and stories. The
primary food of the Maungur are the leaf-eating khi'rs. Some fifty years ago, a commune of H'kig cultists
left Rishi in a doctrinal dispute and established a colony on J't'p'tan. After they resigned from the New
Republic military approximately three years after the Battle of Endor, Wedge Antilles and Ooryl Qrygg
purchased a cache of X-wing parts on Rishi. Five years after Endor, Talon Karrde's smuggling group
briefly used a Rishi city-vale as a hideout following their evacuation of Myrkr. This city-vale measures
approximately 150 kilometers east to west and only a few kilometers north-south, and has sparsely-
populated industrial areas to the north. While on her way to the Number Three dump on 412 Wozwashi
Street, Mara Jade was ambushed by a bounty hunter. [DFR, SWAJ, BTS, TT, XWBW]

Roche system
The Roche system contains the Roche asteroid field, a relatively stable configuration of asteroids orbiting a
small yellow sun. In addition to mynocks and space slugs, the Roche field is home to the intelligent
insectoid species called the Verpine. There are three common theories as to how the Verpine came to
inhabit the inhospitable asteroid belt: that they are the descendants of spacefaring nomads, that their
original planet disintegrated around them over thousands of years, or that they destroyed their planet in a
devastating war. The Verpine inhabit networks of tunnels in the larger asteroids, hermetically sealing them
from vacuum and covering them with repulsorfields to prevent collision with other asteroids. Verpine can
communicate with each other through inaudible radio waves picked up through their antennae, and most
Verpine criminals have damaged antennae. The aliens can also see in the ultraviolet range and radiate no
detectable body heat.
Verpine are considered among the best mechanics in the galaxy, and a team of them helped Admiral Ackbar
design the B-Wing starfighter. Another local product are the small sport spacecrafts called Verpine
Adventurers, considered quite outdated by today's standards. The Verpine tech Zraii, a native of Roche
G42, was a sufficiently talented mechanic to serve with the Alliance's famed Rogue Squadron. A serious
incident between the Verpine and the Barabel occurred four years after the Battle of Endor, when a mad
Verpine hive mother defaulted on several ship-building contracts for the Barabel. The Barabel began to
make good on their threat to sell Verpine body parts to the insect-eating Kubaz, and New Republic forces
were dispatched to the Roche system to help prevent a war. One year later the smuggler Talon Karrde had
an employee bring an assault shuttle to the Roche system, so some Verpine acquaintances could investigate
it for possible traps. [LC, COPL, GG4, XWRS, XWBW, BTS, NR]

Rodaj
The outlaw Jai Raventhorn was working as a mining engineer on Rodaj when her fiancee was killed by the
Empire. This inspired her personal quest for revenge against Moff Jellrek. [SWAJ]

Rodia
Rodia, in the Tyrius system, is a hot and humid industrialized jungle world which is home to the violence-
loving Rodians and their vast weapons-manufacturing facilities. Orbited by several moons, the planet is
located approximately halfway between Gall and Coruscant. The culture of the Rodians romanticizes death
and the hunt, as is evidenced by their reverence for the bounty hunter profession, their gladiatorial games,
and in their famous dramatic plays. Their society is ruled by the Rodian Grand Protector, and only the most
accomplished hunters are allowed to leave their planet. The Salus Corporation, based on Rodia,
specifically designed Stalker battle armor for use by Rodian bounty hunters. Rodia was once a lush
tropical world, but rapid industrial growth has made many lifeforms extinct. As a result, foodstuffs have
become a common import. Points of interest include Equator City, located on the ocean coast where
tourists enjoy the beach and watersports. Equator City includes a gambling complex operated by the Black
Sun criminal syndicate, which incorporates the Next Chance casino and is decorated with gaudy
holographic signs and phony-looking bioengineered ornamental plantings. A vast rainforest is located two
hundred kilometers inland from the gambling complex. Indigenous animal life includes the Rodian
batwing.

Years ago, Navik the Red, the Rodian leader of the Chattza clan, eliminated many opposing clan leaders
and nearly wiped out the entire Tetsus clan. Greedo, a novice bounty hunter in the employ of Jabba the
Hutt, was a Rodian and a surviving member of the Tetsus clan. Other notable Rodians included Andoorni
Hui and Standro Jcir, both members of the Alliance's famed Rogue Squadron. Some time after the Battle of
Hoth, Princess Leia, Lando Calrissian, and Chewbacca came to Rodia to contact Black Sun, hoping to learn
who was behind a recent assassination attempt on Luke Skywalker. They arrived at a small run-down
casino owned by Avaro Sookcool, an uncle of Greedo's, located in the Equator City gambling complex.
Xizor's human replica droid Guri subsequently came to the planet and agreed to bring Leia and Chewbacca
to Coruscant to meet with her master. [GG4, TFTC, XWRS, SWAJ, SOTE, HG, XW]

Romar
Located in the Galov sector of the Outer Rim, Romar contains the estate of Imperial Moff Antoll Jellrek
near the rocky spires of the Derrbi Wastelands. When the outlaw Jai Raventhorn tried to assassinate the
Moff at his estate, she encountered the notorious bounty hunter Beylyssa. [SWAJ]

Roon
Approximately five years before the Battle of Yavin, Han Solo and Mako Spince made several spice runs
from Ryloth to a staging area on Roon. [HG]

Roonadan
The fifth planet in the Bonadan system, Roonadan is located within the Corporate Sector. It is the site of a
starship departure terminal, and it was here that Han Solo and Fiolla of Lorrd stopped over en route to the
planet Ammuud. [HSR, CSSB]

Ropagi system
The Ropagi system is one endpoint of the Kira Run; the Lazerian system is the other. The recent interest in
the Kira Run by mainstream corporations is expected to greatly help the system's economy. [SWAJ]

Roti-Ow system
The Roti-Ow system contains a binary star and the planet Altor 14, homeworld of the Avogwi and the
Nuiwit. [GG4]

Roundtree system
Rekkon, an educator who helped Han Solo during the mission to Stars' End, was born in the Roundtree
system. [CSSB]

Ruan system
Located in the Core Worlds, the Ruan system contains one of the eighteen farming planets administered by
the Salliche Ag Corporation. After the Battle of Endor, workers in the Yulant, Ruan, and Broest systems
revolted against the Imperially-controlled Salliche Ag by burning fields and destroying hydroponics
facilities. [SWAJ]

Rudrig
The quiet planet Rudrig, in the system of the same name, is home to the vast University of Rudrig, the only
respected higher school in the Tion Hegemony. The planet-wide university has campuses and classrooms
scattered everywhere among the gray soil and purple grasses, and various alien species from throughout the
Tion travel here to obtain an adequate education. Weapons are officially prohibited on the planet's surface.
Han Solo and Chewbacca were involved in a high-speed chase on a Rudrig freeway during one of their
early adventures. After the Imperials destroyed an Alliance base on Briggia prior to the Battle of Yavin, the
next scheduled target of the Emperor's Operation Strike Fear was Rudrig. Later, a Rudrig crime ring
tortured a kidnap victim by using an Imperial interrogation droid stolen from a battle zone, an action that
triggered the passage of the New Republic's Historic Battle Site Protection Act. Thirteen years after the
Battle of Endor, Rudrig was later represented by Senator Nyxy in the New Republic government. Wraith
Squadron pilot Ton Phanan was originally from Rudrig. [HSLL, FP, BTS, NR, XWWS]

Rustibar
Imperial General Sulamar, who worked with Durga the Hutt on the Darksaber project, was known to boast
of his commanding role in the Rout of Rustibar. [DS]

Ruuria
The home planet of the caterpillar-like Ruurians. Ruurian society is separated into three life-stages: larva,
pupa, and chroma-wing. The larval Ruurians are concerned with all aspects of day-to-day life on Ruuria
from the moment of their births; eventually each will form a chrysalis (the pupa stage) and emerge as a
chroma-wing, concerned only with mating. The historian Skynx, holder of the history chair in the pre-
Republic subdivision, Human History subdepartment, was a Ruurian -- a member of the K'zagg Colony on
the banks of the Z'gag. Skynx is now a Professor Emeritus at the University of Ruuria. A Ruurian was
among the injured smugglers on Skip 1 when a group of stolen droids exploded there thirteen years after
the Battle of Endor. [HSLL, CSSB, NR]

Ruusan
A remote, harsh, arid world not found on star charts, Ruusan is the site of the long-hidden Valley of the
Jedi. The planet's terrain is primarily desert, with mesas, canyons, and hills located amid red-orange
wastelands and barren stretches colored by a blue-green ground cover. Other plant life includes squat
bushes and lichens that grow on rocks, while indigenous animal life includes insects, desert creatures, and
airborne wind riders. Ruusan's three tiny moons are called "the triplets" by the recent human arrivals. The
planet's intelligent natives, nicknamed "bouncers," appear to be rolling balls with extendible flaps that act
as navigational sails. They have large eyes and numerous tentacles serving as both feet and manipulative
appendages -- half these limbs end in shovel-like tips for digging beneath the sand. Bouncers are nocturnal
and gather water by creating depressions topped with a slick, cone-shaped tissue secretion to collect
nighttime condensation. Fort Nowhere, a local smugglers' hideaway, is one of the only human settlements
established on Ruusan. The fort is built in the shape of a six-pointed star with sturdy, rammed-earth walls,
subsurface missile batteries, and a blaster cannon installed at each of the star's points. Ships touch down on
a duracrete landing pad and contraband is stored in underground caverns. An old roadway stretches off to
the west from Fort Nowhere towards a distant range of mountains, passing over the ancient city of
Olmondo which lies buried beneath the sand. Farther still is Valley of the Jedi, a vast stone bowl decorated
with hundreds of monuments, spires, and statues. The Valley contains hundreds of imprisoned Jedi spirits,
and the native bouncers have long told of a day when the ghosts will finally be released -- "And a Knight
shall come, a battle will be fought, and the prisoners go free."

Hundreds of years ago, a Dark Jedi named Kaan formed a evil group called the Brotherhood of Darkness.
The Jedi Knights assembled their own army to stop Kaan and his followers, and the two sides clashed on
Ruusan. Entire cities were destroyed in the conflict and the native bouncers were nearly driven to
extinction before Kaan's forces driven to the point of defeat. Rather than surrender, however, Kaan and the
surviving Brotherhood members lured their enemies into the Valley of the Jedi and committed mass suicide,
taking many of the Jedi Knights along with them. The Jedi spirits were trapped in their incorporeal state,
stuck in a state of suspended animation and providing a source of great Force power to anyone who could
locate the Valley and tap into its hidden power. Ruusan remained quiet until ten years before the Battle of
Yavin, when a smuggler named Captain Jerg found the world after a random hyperspace hop. Jerg's crew
established Fort Nowhere and began to store contraband on the planet. Soon before the Battle of Yavin,
Jerg agreed to ferry hundreds of political refugees from Sulon to Ruusan so they could establish their own
colony. The leader of the refugees, Morgan Katarn, discovered the Valley of the Jedi and returned to Sulon
soon afterwards. After discussing his remarkable find with a Jedi Knight named Rahn, Morgan carved the
navigational coordinates for Ruusan into the ceiling tiles of his home for his son Kyle to find at a later date.
[DFRA]

Rydar II
The semi-intelligent Ranat species originated on Rydar II, located in the Rydar system. Several hundred
years ago, the human inhabitants of Rydar II attempted to exterminate the Ranats due to their propensity to
eat human infants. The extermination was nearly successful, but three Ranats managed to stow away on a
visiting smuggling ship. The ship crashed on Aralia, and the Ranats have since populated that planet.
[GG4]

Ryloon
The location of several Imperial-controlled orbital factories, where captured prisoners are sent to toil.
[COTJ]

Ryloth
Located in the Outer Rim near Tatooine and five days travel from Coruscant, Ryloth is the principal planet
in the Ryloth system (not near the Core but not so remote as to be of no value to smugglers). The planet is
the homeworld of the Twi'leks, humanoid aliens with two large, fleshy "head-tails" growing from their
skulls that give them extra cognitive abilities. The Twi'leks call these prehensile appendages "lekku" and
can communicate in secret through lekku gestures, though they also have a spoken language, Twi'leki.
Their rocky, mountainous planet has no rotation, so one side of the planet always faces the sun and the
only habitable areas are in the band of twilight separating the two sides. Ryloth has minor seasonal
climactic variations due to a slightly elliptical orbit. Heat storms (powerful enough to incinerate anyone
caught in their path) raging through the planet's thin atmosphere help to distribute warmth throughout the
twilight zone, which the Twi'leks inhabit within networks of mountain catacombs. Wind-driven turbines
power their primitive industrial civilization, and raw fungi and cowlike rycrits are raised for food. Kala'uun
Starport, built within one of the mountains known as the Lonely Five, lies near the dusk terminus among
other jagged, black mountains rising from the parched surface. 100,000 Twi'leks inhabit the clan warrens
on the interior walls of Kala'uun's massive central cavern, which is lit with glowstones (artificial lamps
designed to look like natural rocks). Kala'uun's starport master is an obese Twi'lek named Koh'shak.
Centuries of slave trading and ryll smuggling have kept Ryloth's economy quite active. The planet's two
primary exports are the addictive ryll spice and Twi'lek females, who are desired for their seductive dancing
skills. The black ryll kor is the rarest and best ryll spice, making up only three percent of all ryll harvested.
The Twi'lek government is organized around a five-member "head clan," who are in charge of all
community decisions. When one member of the clan dies, the remaining four are exiled into the dayside
desert (the "Bright Lands") and a new head clan is selected. Local customs include twi'janii, a hospitality
festival involving food, drink, and dancing designed to put visitors at ease. The lyaer'tsa is a traditional
Rylothean vibro-pike weapon. Names are pronounced in a fashion to give the most favorable meaning to
the name's bearer. Indigenous animal life includes the spiny sidrek megapede and enormous insectoid
predators.

A major Twi'lek corporation is Galactic Exotics, which developed orchards on the planet Belsavis. Ryloth
is also home to SchaumAssoc., a Twi'lek advertising agency that pioneered media and public relations for
the Corporate Sector. Years ago, a small Imperial refueling center and training outpost was established on
Ryloth, supported by the Empire yet often used by smugglers. Tarkin, then a Commander, had early plans
to turn this refueling station into an important location in the Outer Rim. Jabba the Hutt's majordomo, Bib
Fortuna, was one of the first to widely sell ryll spice off-planet, which attracted the Empire's attention and
brought slavers to Ryloth. Fortuna was sentenced to death but escaped, and returned later with an army of
Jabba's men to exact revenge. Seven Ryloth cities were burned and Jabba took slaves and riches, while
Fortuna rescued Nat Secura, the last son of a great Twi'lek family. Fortuna made plans to someday return
with Secura and rule Ryloth as he saw fit. Not long before the Battle of Endor, Fortuna enslaved a clan
chief's daughter named Oola, and trained her to serve as a dancer in Jabba's palace. Ultimately Fortuna was
cast out of his own clan for his actions. The New Republic reorganized the administration of Ryloth
immediately after the Battle of Endor and one Twi'lek, Koyi Komand, utilized the new rules to obtain a
stipend for study at the university of Mrlsst. A few months after Endor, the Twi'lek Firith Olan fled from
Tatooine to Kala'uun Starport to seek sanctuary with the Olan clan. The head of the clan, however, planned
to sell Firith to the winner of a simulation contest between New Republic and Imperial representatives, but
the plan proved worthless when the Imperial Captain Semtin bribed Firith Olan and convinced him to
return to Tatooine. After the capture of Coruscant approximately three years after Endor, Rogue Squadron
flew a mission to Ryloth to obtain ryll kor (to be mixed with bacta to create a possible cure for the Krytos
virus called rylca). The Twi'lek warrior Tal'dira later joined Rogue Squadron with his homeworld's pilot
group, all of whom flew unique X-TIE hybrids called Chir'daki or Deathseeds. Approximately twenty
years after the Battle of Endor, a Twi'lek woman named Nolaa Tarkona emerged as the leader of an
insurgent group called the Diversity Alliance. Tarkona based her headquarters on Ryloth in an underground
spaceport and grotto network. Notable natives of Ryloth include Maw scientist Tol Sivron, Rogue
Squadron pilot Nawara Ven, the Dark Jedi known as Boc the Crude, and the ancient Jedi knight Tott
Doneeta. [SWS, COTF, COTJ, TOTJ, CSSB, TFJP, XWRS, SWAJ, XW, XWKT, XWBW, YJK2, MA,

Ryoone
A backwater planet located down-spiral from the more remote areas of the Outer Rim, Ryoone is a harsh
world with a thick volcanic ash blanket suspended in its upper atmosphere. Six native intelligent species,
each with a different metabolic background, inhabit Ryoone and have competed fiercely for survival for
thousands of years. One of these species, the delicate Lyunesi, developed into superb communicators and
diplomats, becoming the universal go-betweens for the various Ryoone species. Soon the Lyunesi were
used in the galaxy at large, since many felt their interpretive and negotiating skills superior to even the most
advanced protocol droid. Unfortunately, Lyunesi are occasionally seized by an all-consuming passion
called hyper-eros, which robs them of their common sense and is almost always enthusiastically
reciprocated by the love interest in question. Just after the Battle of Yavin, a Lyunesi comm-handler named
Oph Nar Dinnid contracted hyper-eros and was discovered in bed with the alpha concubine of one of the
Narrant system's supreme liege-lords. Dinnid managed to escape to Circumtore, where he sought sanctuary
with the Shell Hutts. [MA]

Ryvellia
Located in the Avhn-Bendara system. The Empire brutally suppressed an uprising in Ryvellia's capital city
of V'eldalv with an orbital bombardment. During the attack, the thief Sienn Sconn's parents were killed.
[SWAJ]

Saarn
An isolated world hidden in a corner of the galaxy, Saarn was used by the Rebel Alliance for military
training purposes, and was later used as a remote surveillance outpost after the New Republic moved to
Coruscant. Five years after the Battle of Endor, one of Grand Admiral Thrawn's Star Destroyers, the
Stormhawk, executed a hit-and-fade attack on Saarn, wiping out the New Republic personnel and setting up
a listening post to protect the movements of Thrawn's fleet. [SWAJ]

Sacorria
Located in the Sacorrian system, one of the Outlier systems of the Corellian sector, Sacorria is a pleasant
but secretive world with strict regulations. It is the site of the Dorthus Tal prison and its main city has a
cobblestone square in town. Sacorria is ruled by the Triad -- a secretive council of dictators consisting of
one human, one Drall, and one Selonian. Almost nothing is known about the three rulers, not even their
names, though the Selonians on Sacorria are known to be descendants of a dishonored Selonian den. In
years past the Triad was merely the puppet of the Corellian Diktat, but it now freely runs the planet and has
passed more and more restrictive laws. Women are not allowed to marry without their fathers' consent, and
a recent law made it illegal to marry an off-worlder. Sacorria's moon is Sarcophagus, which serves as a
vast graveyard for the planet's inhabitants. Fourteen years after the Battle of Endor, Lando Calrissian
visited Sacorria to see Tendra Risant, a member of a wealthy and influential family, for a possible marriage
proposal. Meanwhile, the Sacorrian Triad set into motion a master plan to force the New Republic to
acknowledge the Corellian sector as an independent state. The Triad organized rebellions on each of the
five planets in the Corellian system and gained control of Centerpoint Station, which allowed them to set
up interdiction and jamming fields over the system and to destroy distant stars at will. The Triad's plans,
and their fleet of more than eighty Sacorrian ships, were defeated by the New Republic and a Bakuran task
force. [AAC, AAS, SAC]

Saffalore
Located in the Corporate Sector, Saffalore is the headquarters of Binring Biomedical Product, a corporation
that produces food for the Imperial military as well as genetically engineering animals so they can better
adapt to diverse planetary environments. [XWWS]

Saheelindeel
Located in the remote Tion Hegemony, Saheelindeel is a backwater world inhabited by intelligent, green-
furred primates. The high festival on Saheelindeel is a time for tribal hunting rituals and harvest
ceremonies, and has recently begun to incorporate farm machinery exhibits, shock-ball matches, and
airshows in an attempt to become more technologically sophisticated. The Saheelindeeli, led by a
matriarch, have an affinity for grandiose actions. Han Solo and Chewbacca briefly worked on Saheelindeel
after leaving the Corporate Sector. Following the Battle of Yavin, the Empire established a listening post
near Saheelindeel, which was attacked by the Alliance to divert attention from their fleet's movements into
the Greater Plooriod Cluster. [HSLL, FP]

Salliche
An agricultural planet in the Core Worlds region. Salliche is home to the Salliche Ag Corporation, which
administers eighteen farming planets throughout the Core Worlds including the Yulant, Ruan, and Broest
systems. The Empire has placed Moff Gegren Throsen in charge of Salliche, who disbanded the
legislature and appointed his own men to oversee the massive corporate bureaucracy. The citizens of
Salliche are loyal to the House Harbright, whose members have served the Republic for three centuries.
After the rise of the Empire, Lady Selnia Harbright made the decision to aid the Rebel Alliance.

Many years ago, a band of armored raiders killed many on Salliche and robbed the Vaults of Narner, until
they were stopped by the Jedi Knight Soonis. About 250 years ago, a group of idealists left Salliche to
colonize the planet Varonat. They were fed up with Salliche's corrupt bureaucracy and intended to establish
a true participatory democracy. Independent operative Dirk Harkness was originally from Salliche, where
he graduated from technical school before signing onto a starship as an apprentice mechanic. [SWAJ]

Sand Crab Nebula

Han Solo once spoke of an imaginary Imperial fleet, supposedly located in the Sand Crab Nebula. [AAS]

Sanjin
A planet near the Core Worlds. While at Sanjin, the Nikto agent Ma'w'shiye betrayed the Alliance, deserted
his Rebel squadron, and stole the group's spacecraft. [SWAJ]

Sappire
One of the Empire's peripheral holdings, Sappire is marked by constant unrest towards Imperial rule.
[SWAJ]

Sarahwiee
A frozen world of glaciers, mountains, and ice-covered oceans in the Bseto system, Sarahwiee is home to a
top-secret Imperial research facility. The outpost, situated in a mountain range in the southern hemisphere,
holds 1000 personnel and is only accessible by air. When Emperor Palpatine first established the facility
on the previously-uninhabited world, he had all references to it wiped from the Imperial archives for
security. After the Battle of Endor, certain Imperial fleet captains equipped and supplied the base until the
defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn, at which point free-traders were needed to handle the cargo shipments.
After Thrawn's defeat but before the rise of the resurrected Emperor, a New Republic commando team, led
by Lieutenant Page and including Luke Skywalker, was sent to Sarahwiee to destroy the facility and erase
its computer records. It was here that Skywalker met the young Garos IV freedom fighter named Alex
Winger. [SWAJ]

Sarcophagus
Sarcophagus is the moon of Sacorria, located in one of the Outlier systems in the Corellian sector. It is a
vast graveyard, visited only by those who are burying their dead. [AAC]

Sarka
Five years after the Battle of Endor Grand Admiral Thrawn attacked a convoy from Sarka, which was
defended by a New Republic bulk cruiser converted to a starfighter carrier. There was also a reception for a
Sarkan delegation held in the Imperial Palace following the birth of Leia Organa Solo's twins. Sarkan
shippers frequently use Corellian Action-Keynne XII freighters, which boast luxurious interiors and
formidable defensive weaponry. [DFR, LC, SOTP]

Sector One
Sector One is located in the galactic core and contains the planet Prakith, ruling world of the Imperial
warlord Foga Brill. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, when Lando Calrissian, Lobot, R2-D2 and C-
3PO stowed away on the mysterious Teljkon vagabond, the ship came out of hyperspace in Sector One
eight light years from Prakith. After destroying one of Brill's attacking ships, the vagabond vanished into
hyperspace. [SOL]

Sector One-Five-One
Twelve years after the Battle of Endor,, after Lando Calrissian, Lobot, R2-D2 and C-3PO stowed away on
the mysterious Teljkon vagabond, the ship jumped towards Sector One-Five-One in the direction of
Phracas, in the Core. [SOL]

Sector Five
Sector Five is ruled by Imperial Grand Moff Gann. Some twelve years after the Battle of Endor, Gann was
forced to give many of his ships to Imperial warlord Foga Brill, who rules from Prakith in Sector One.
[SOL]

Sedesia
A high-gravity planet located in the Mid-Rim, Sedesia is an arid, cold world of tundra, forests, and
mountains. The planet's severe axial tilt causes extreme seasonal changes and unpredictable weather, and
all planetary travel is restricted to ground vehicles due to the violent windstorms. Sedesians cross the
planet's surface on six-legged reptilian mounts called striders, and sometimes on unique, single-wheeled
machines called wheelbikes. Sedesia has been colonized for several hundred years, and its 1.5 million
settlers are primarily stubborn breedtash ranchers known for their independence and sympathy towards the
Rebellion. The planet's capital and largest city is Besia Osurne, home to 250,000 people and containing the
popular Trail's End tavern near the stockyards. The Empire, testing a pathogen-based loyalty enhancement
project, infected the entire population of Sedesia with a deadly plague called the Gray Death through aerial
spraying. Imperial forces set up medical facilities, ostensibly to protect the citizens from the plague, but in
reality forcing them to become dependent on the Empire for their continued survival. [SWAJ]

Sedri
Covered by warm shallow seas, Sedri (in the system of the same name) is home to both the aquatic
Sedrians and a communal intelligence of tiny polyps known as Golden Sun. Golden Sun is attuned to the
Force and provides power, healing, and other necessities to the Sedrians, who worship Golden Sun as the
center of their society. Golden Sun's use of the Force also creates massive gravity readings, causing
problems for hyperspace navigation near the system. The peaceful Sedrians have constructed underwater
cities (the largest is Fitsay) and have appointed a High Priest to safeguard the cave in which Golden Sun
lives. The Empire came to Sedri to research a possible artificial gravity well generator and constructed an
Imperial garrison. A group of Rebels infiltrated the garrison, studied the Imperial's aquatic equipment, and
discussed strategy and techniques with the Sedrians. This information resulted in the formation of the
Rebel Sea Commandos, who later saw action on Calamari fighting the Emperor's World Devastators. The
SedriMotors corporation, based on Sedri, has recently produced the Amphibion combat speeder for New
Republic use. [GG4, DESB]

Selab
A planet in the Hapes cluster and home to the trees of wisdom. Believed by many to be only a myth, the
trees bear fruit that can greatly increase the intelligence of those who have reached old age. [COPL]

Selaggis
The location of a colony that was obliterated by Warlord Zsinj's Super Star Destroyer Iron Fist. Han Solo
saw the destroyed colony while on a five-month hunt to locate and destroy the Iron Fist. [COPL]

Selonia
One of the five inhabited worlds in the Corellian system, Selonia has a clean blue sky and a surface
composed of hundreds of islands separated by innumerable seas, inlets, and bays. Terrain on the many
islands includes meadows, woodlands, and rolling hills. The small land areas are evenly distributed around
the planet -- no point on land is more than 150 kilometers from the water, and no water is more than 200
kilometers from land. Famous sights on the world include the Cloudland Peaks. Beneath the surface of
Selonia is a powerful planetary repulsor, which was used in ancient times to transport the planet into its
current orbit from an unknown location. Selonia is the homeworld of the alien species known as Selonians,
who have thick tails, sleek fur, and long faces filled with needle-sharp teeth. Selonians are hive animals,
who live together in genetically-related dens. Each den is made up of one fertile female (the queen, who
gives birth to all members of a den), a few fertile males, and several hundred sterile females. All sterile
females with the same father are said to be in the same "sept," and members of a sept are genetically
identical. It is the sterile females who interact with other species and perform all the important functions of
Selonian life; the fertile Selonians are treated merely as breeding stock. Selonians make poor liars and
have a deep psychological need to reach a consensus among each other, even if the resulting agreement
does not always make sense. Selonians are often comfortable inhabiting underground tunnels and warrens.

Many years ago, a Selonian den tried to cheat other members of their same den. For this dishonor, the
perpetrators were exiled from Selonia and Corellia, and eventually settled on Sacorria. Fourteen years after
the Battle of Endor, two Selonian factions -- the Republicists and the Absolutists -- struggled for control of
the planetary repulsor. The Republicists intended to turn it over to the New Republic in exchange for
Selonian sovereignty, while the Absolutists planned to use it as a weapon for the creation of Selonian
independence. The Hunchuzuc Den, allied with the Republicists and the Chanzari Den, proposed to use
Han Solo as a bargaining chip to open negotiations with the New Republic. The Overden, the ruling power
on Selonia and allied with the Absolutists, won the Hunchuzuc over to their side when they claimed to
control the Selonian repulsor. Kleyvits, representing the Overden, held Leia Organa Solo captive and tried
to force her to recognize Selonia's independence from the New Republic. When it was revealed that the
dishonored Saccorian Selonians were actually operating the repulsor, the Overden suddenly lost all power
in favor of the Hunchuzuc Den. During the crisis, a Bakuran attack force led a diversionary assault on
Selonia and one of its ships was destroyed by Selonia's repulsor. [AAC, AAS, SAC]

Semag system
Following the Battle of Hoth, Grand Admiral Thrawn made several attempts to locate and trap the renegade
Admiral Zaarin in the area near the Semag system. [TSC]

Senex sector
Adjacent to the Juvex sector and near the Ninth Quadrant, the Senex sector is ruled by an elite group of
ancient, aristocratic Houses. The sector contains the Senex system and the planet Karfeddion, and
apparently Veron and Mussubir Three as well. Yetoom and Belsavis are located on its edge. The Ancient
Houses and their Lords are very independent, desiring to rule their planets as they see fit and scorning any
interference from outside governments. They were largely left alone under Palpatine's rule, and neither the
post-Endor Empire nor the New Republic have been very successful in influencing them. The Senex Lords
have long been accused of mistreating their workers and violating the Rights of Sentience. The oldest of
the Houses is House Vandron, headed by Lady Theala Vandron, which operates slave farms on Karfeddion.
The House Elegin is headed by Drost Elegin, and the House Garonnin gets a large portion of its revenue
from strip-mining asteroids. The sleek Mekuun ships called Tikiars are often favored by the aristocrats of
the Ancient Houses.

The Senex system once held an Imperial training area. Before the Battle of Yavin, a new Alliance recruit
accidentally hypered into the area in his X-wing, and destroyed most of the training facilities before
realizing his danger and hypering out. Eight years after the Battle of Endor, Stinna Draesinge Sha, a pupil
of Nasdra Magrody's, was assassinated in the Senex sector in House Vandron territory. Later that year,
many of the Senex Lords met with Roganda Ismaren on Belsavis with the intent of forming a military
alliance. [COTJ, FP]
Sepan system
Located in the sector of the same name, the Sepan system contains the planets Ripoblus, Dimok, Gerbaud
2, and Sepan 8. Following the Battle of Hoth, a long, destructive war between the peoples of Ripoblus and
Dimok was forcibly ended by the intervention of Imperial forces under the command of Admiral Harkov.
At one point, the leaders of the two sides attempted a rendezvous near Sepan 8 to organize a united attack
against Imperial forces. [TSC]

Serenity
Following the Battle of Hoth, Grand Admiral Thrawn leaked word that a convoy carrying missile boats
would be passing near the planet Serenity. This was intended as bait to trap the renegade Admiral Zaarin
and his traitorous forces. [TSC]

Sern sector
The Sern sector is located near the Core Worlds, and contains the planet Ghorman. [FP]

Seswenna sector
Contains the planet Eriadu. Grand Moff Tarkin developed the Tarkin Doctrine of rule by fear while he was
a governor in charge of the Seswenna sector and the Outer Rim Territories. [MTS, DSTC]

Setor
The former homeworld of Wetyin's Colony. The colony left Setor after suffering persecution and exile, and
the Fernandin Scouting Operation was given a permit by the Empire to find the group a new homeworld.
Some of the worlds considered included Betshish and Yavin 4. [GG2]

Sevarcos
The infamous spice world Sevarcos orbits the orange star Lumea in the Sevarcos system, which consists of
four solid planets and eight gas giants. Sevarcos is the second planet in the system, and the only one
capable of supporting life. Due to the profitable spice extracted from Sevarcos' Imperial mines, the Empire
maintains a permanent customs blockade of the entire system. A huge asteroid field drifting between the
sixth and seventh planets houses the elite "Fate's Judges" TIE Interceptor squadron, which attacks any
smuggler foolish enough to run the blockade. Sevarcos, brown and amber colored from space, is a dry,
windswept world plagued by frequent sandstorms. Mountains make up most of the northern hemisphere,
while vast deserts cover the south. Sevarcos' two types of spice -- the common white andris and the rare
black carsunum -- are primarily mined in the equatorial region, where the mines double as brutal Imperial
prisons. The Empire's forces are overseen by Imperial Planetary Commandant Velpar Raftin. Animal life
on Sevarcos includes the spice eel, which burrows through rock and can reach lengths of up to thirty
meters.

Sevarcos has an original human population known as the Sevari, believed to be the descendants of settlers
from the early Old Republic colony ship Sevari Cabal. The Sevari eventually formed clans headed by
Spice Lords to oversee the spice trade, though total control of that industry is currently held by the Empire.
Unprotected visitors to Sevarcos can suffer side-effects from inhaling the trace amounts of spice found in
the atmosphere, but native Sevari (accustomed to the constant spice) often slip into a coma-like "spice
narcosis" when breathing the pure air of other worlds. Most of the planet's one million Sevari shun
advanced technology, and use archaic wind riders for transportation and projectile flashpistols for defense.
The most powerful Spice Lords are Lord Quintas of the Southern Deserts, Lady Trevael of the Northern
Frontier, and Lord Cassius Nolath Rha, ruler of the profitable Equatorial Belt. [SWAJ]

Shadow Academy
A torus-shaped space station located near the Galactic Core, covered with weaponry and protected by a
powerful cloaking device. Shadow Academy, capable of hyperspace travel, can move to a new location at a
moment's notice. Built by the Second Imperium for the express purpose of training Jedi in the dark side of
the Force, the station is stark and austere, with harsh, spartan accommodations for its students, locks on
every door, and chrono chimes marking every quarter-hour. Brakiss, a former student of Luke Skywalker's,
leads the Academy with the assistance of the Nightsister Tamith Kai. Various sections of Shadow Academy
include the docking bay, a large meeting room, a holographic training chamber, Brakiss' private office, and
a spherical, zero-gravity arena at the station's hub. The entire station is riddled with chain-reaction
explosives, set to detonate if the new leader of the Second Imperium is displeased with Brakiss' progress.
Consequently, Brakiss is never allowed to leave the station.

Nineteen years after the Battle of Endor, Jacen and Jaina Solo and their friend Lowbacca were kidnapped
and brought to the Shadow Academy to train as Dark Jedi. Soon after the children's escape from the
station, the Shadow Academy moved to Coruscant. Hiding behind its cloaking device, the station was able
to launch attacks on New Republic convoys and recruit several people (including Jacen and Jaina's friend
Zekk) to serve in the Second Imperium. The station was revealed when Jaina overwhelmed its cloak with a
light beam from one of Coruscant's orbiting mirrors, but it managed to escape and establish a new hiding
place near the Denarii Nova. It was here that Zekk, in a lightsaber duel in Shadow Academy's hub arena,
killed his chief rival Vilas and became the Second Imperium's Darkest Knight. The station was later
destroyed in a battle above Yavin 4 during the Second Imperium's futile attempt to wipe out Luke
Skywalker's Jedi academy. [YJK]

Shalam
The Shalamites of Shalam placed a 100% tariff on Jandarra vegetables from Jubilar. Fifteen years after the
Battle of Endor, Han Solo came to Jubilar to make a smuggling run for old time's sake, and agreed to
smuggle a cargo of Jandarra to Shalam. [TBH]

Shasfath Cluster
After the Battle of Hoth, Alliance operatives were sent to the Inner Rim and Expansion Region, to search
for tibanna gas deposits on gas giant planets in the Lequabis, K'taktaxka, Poviduze, and Kelavine systems
and the Shasfath Cluster. [SWAJ]

Shaum Hii
Shaum Hii is a planet famous for its noisy cattle markets. [HTTE]

Shesharile system
Located in the Minos Cluster, the Shesharile system is a small, unimportant system on the fringes of known
space. It contains a gas giant, around which orbit the inhabited moons Shesharile 5 and 6 -- sometimes
called the "Twin Planets." The two overpopulated moons share 12 billion people ruled by a single corrupt
government, inhabiting crowded cities and polluted industrial centers. Exports are considered out of date
by galactic standards, and the economy has crashed in recent years. Gallisport, the capital city and largest
starport in the system, is home to a small Imperial consulate and a popular tavern called Ta's Roost.
Gallisport's starport, government sector, and wealthy residences are protected behind security barriers,
since the city's narrow streets are ruled by criminals and wild swoop gangs. Swoop gangs such as the
Spiders, the Rabid Mynocks, and the Raging Banthas are pursued by the Legally Authorized Law
Authorities or LA-LAs, a corrupt security force hired by the local government. [SWAJ]

Shimmer
A planet of massive glaciers where the Alliance operated a medium-security work camp. [SWAJ]

Sh'shuun
The homeworld of the shape-shifting alien species known as the Shi'ido. The planetary anthropologist
called Hoole, himself a Shi'ido, was born on Sh'shuun. [GOF]
Shumavar
Twenty years after the Battle of Endor, Han Solo and Bornan Thul were scheduled to attend a major trade
conference on Shumavar together. Thul was supposed to deliver information to the leader of the Diversity
Alliance at this conference, but his ship disappeared en route. [YJK2]

Sif'kric
Located in the system of the same name, Sif'kric is a member world of the New Republic. The annual crop
of pommwomm-plants, which grow on the system's innermost planet, is a profitable planetary export that
has to be processed within thirty hours of its picking. The Sif'kries have long feuded with their system
neighbors, the Frezhlix, a conflict which intensified after the New Republic drove the Empire from the
sector. Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, a large Frezhlix force approached Sif'kric to spoil the
pommwomm harvest, but the Sif'kries received assistance from Rogue Squadron. [SOTP]

Sif-Uwana
The inhabitants of Sif-Uwana, the Sif-Uwanais, have a reputation for being very casual with their money
and management style. Mara Jade once visited the planet while on business for the Emperor, and the
smuggler Talon Karrde posed as the chief purchasing agent for the Sif-Uwana Council while on a mission
to Varonat. [SWAJ]

Silver Station
Silver Station was a hidden resistance outpost drifting near the Dragonflower Nebula in the Doldur sector.
Four hundred meters in length, it consisted of a central cube surrounded by many interconnected cylinders.
Very few beings knew the station's secret location, where resistance leader Una Poot supplied seven Rebel
cells in the surrounding sector. Aliens of every species could be found wandering its mazelike hallways.
Silver Station was once named Machenry Station, an outpost built to mine gas from the nearby nebula. The
station was eventually abandoned but was discovered by Una Poot, who added two dozen huge tanks and
made the structure her base of operations. Just after the Battle of Yavin, the young heiress Tinian I'att and
her companions came to Silver Station to meet with Poot. Though Tinian helped foil a Ranat plot to blow
up the station, most of its inhabitants were forced to flee when Imperial forces arrived and took control of
the outpost. [SWAJ]

Sinton
Imperial General Sulamar, who worked with Durga the Hutt on the Darksaber project, was known to boast
of his commanding role in the Subjugation of Sinton. [DS]

Sionia?
The possible homeworld of the near-human aliens known as Sionian Skups. Skups can be distinguished
from humans by their closely-spaced eyes and brittle, glasslike hair. Many master thieves have come from
the Sionian home world. Anky Fremp, an early friend of Greedo's during his youth on Nar Shaddaa, was a
Sionian Skup. [TFTC]

Sirpar
An arid, heavy-gravity world, Sirpar is used by the Empire as a training outpost for Imperial Army soldiers.
The large planet has a wide variety of terrain but possesses no valuable natural resources, and is protected
by three orbiting defensive satellites. Many training centers dot the surface, including the Arctic
Environments Combat Range at the north pole and the Deep Oceans Operations Camp in the tropical seas.
Sirpar's equatorial continent is covered with a thick muddy jungle, and the planet's main starport is located
on an equatorial island. Sirpar is also the homeworld of the timid Eklaad, quadrupedal aliens possessing
prehensile snouts and covered with tough armored hides. Sirpar's 1.5 million Eklaad live in tribes ruled by
hereditary chieftains, and have not advanced beyond stone-age technology. Once, the Eklaad had a
planetwide Council of Chieftains, but that ruling body has not convened since the arrival of the Imperial
Army. [SWAJ]
Sisk
Sisk orbits a red dwarf star of the same name and is home to the arachnid species Sic-Six. The star Sisk
was once an orange star but underwent a partial atomic collapse, cooling the planet Sisk and turning it from
warm and lush to cool and barren. Sic-Six are highly antisocial, preventing any formation of government
or mass production, though their technology is quite complex. Sic-Six are valued throughout the galaxy
due to the fact that poison bites from their fangs are intoxicating to most species. [GG4]

Sittana
Points of interest on Sittana include the flaming falls on the breathtaking fire rivers. [GOF]

Skip 1
Located in the asteroid belt known as Smuggler's Run, Skip 1 is the thirty-fifth asteroid in the system, the
first one settled, and the one most suitable for human life. The well-defended asteroid's interior was
hollowed out centuries ago by unknown parties. Skip 1 smells extremely foul, due to a green-yellow slime
that runs through the corridors; an attempt was once made to block the slime at its source, but this caused
severe tremors and instability. Adjacent to the hangar is the entry chamber, decorated with bones piled in
one corner and featuring sabacc tables, a bar, and a hokuum station for drugs and other stimulants. In the
center of the entry chamber is a food court, currently stocked by the former chef for the Court of Hapes.
Farther along lie Cavern 2 and Cavern 3. The third cavern once belonged to Boba Fett and five fellow
bounty hunters, and is hot and humid with extra blaster-protection layers lining the walls. It features over
18 cooking stations decorated to resemble the planet of their particular cuisine, such as Kashyyyk and
Corellia. Thirteen years after the Battle of Endor, Han Solo returned to Skip 1 to investigate recent
happenings in Smuggler's Run. Soon after, Skip 1 and several other Skips were severely damaged when a
group of stolen droids exploded. [NR]

Skip 2
Skip 2 is an inhabited asteroid located in the asteroid belt known as Smuggler's Run. Thirteen years after
the Battle of Endor, Skip 2 and several other Skips were severely damaged when a group of stolen droids
exploded. [NR]

Skip 3
Skip 3 is an inhabited asteroid located in the asteroid belt known as Smuggler's Run. Thirteen years after
the Battle of Endor, Skip 3 and several other Skips were severely damaged when a group of stolen droids
exploded. [NR]

Skip 5
Located in the asteroid belt known as Smuggler's Run, Skip 5 is an enormous asteroid riddled with huge
caverns lined with heat-generating sunstone. The temperature inside averages an uncomfortable 40 degrees
centigrade. Skip 5 had been abandoned for many years, but was recently converted to handle the need for
used Imperial equipment on Almania. Beyond the vast docking hangar in the center of the asteroid lies a
huge cavern filled with sand and lit with blinding sunstone. Several imported Jawa sandcrawlers drive
through the cavern, picking up the Imperial equipment left there by the smugglers, repairing it, and selling
it back to the smugglers for a low price. Thirteen years after the Battle of Endor, Han Solo and Chewbacca
investigated Skip 5 and were nearly killed by a group of Glottalphibs sent by the crimelord Nandreeson.
Soon after, Skip 5 and several other Skips were severely damaged when a group of stolen droids exploded.
[NR]

Skip 6
Located in the middle of the asteroid belt known as Smuggler's Run, Skip 6 is owned and operated by the
Glottalphib crimelord known as Nandreeson. The top of the asteroid is covered with flowing ooze, and
inside the asteroid are numerous humid, moss-covered chambers filled with stagnant, sulfur-smelling ponds
of lilypads and skittering waterbugs. In other chambers lie Nandreeson's treasure stashes and egg clusters.
The air inside Skip 6 is thick with parfue gnats and Eilnian sweet flies, and watumba bats nest on the
ceiling. Half-submerged algae-covered furniture decorates the multiple ponds. Thirteen years after the
Battle of Endor, Lando Calrissian returned to Smuggler's Run while searching for Han Solo. Lando was
captured by a squad of Reks and brought to Nandreeson on Skip 6, who tried to kill his old nemesis by
having him slowly drown in one of the pools. Han Solo, Chewbacca, and several smugglers tried to rescue
Lando, entering the Skip through a surface mud slide. They were betrayed by the other smugglers, but they
grabbed Lando and fled the Skip in Nandreeson's personal Skipper. [NR]

Skip 8
Located in the asteroid belt known as Smuggler's Run, Skip 8 is an inhabited asteroid that Han Solo and
Chewbacca once visited during their early smuggling career. Chewbacca spent the night on the Millennium
Falcon, and Han had to get him out of a tense situation in the morning. [NR]

Skip 52
Located in the asteroid belt known as Smuggler's Run, Skip 52 is surrounded by continual swirling rock
storms. Only the specialized Smuggler's Run vehicles known as Skippers are able to successfully navigate
these storms. [NR]

Skip 72
Skip 72 is an inhabited asteroid located in the asteroid belt known as Smuggler's Run. Thirteen years after
the Battle of Endor, Skip 72 and several other Skips were severely damaged when a group of stolen droids
exploded. [NR]

Skor II
A small dense world orbiting the star Squab. It was on this planet that the alien species known as Squibs
evolved. Skor II's resources tend to be concentrated in various parts of the planet, which led to the nomadic
nature of the Squibs since they had to travel to find the resources they needed. When a Dorcin trader
landed on Skor II, the Squibs traded the mineral rights to a frozen wasteland for the secrets of starship
technology. Now most Squibs roam the galaxy collecting junk, haggling for bargains, and competing for
trash-hauling business with their primary rivals the Ugors. [GG4]

Sljee
The homeworld of the slablike, multitentacled aliens also called Sljee. All species on the planet operate
entirely by scent, and the Sljee have a difficult time distinguishing different smells when they are away
from their homeworld. One of the waiters in a Bonadan tavern was a native of Sljee. [HSR, CSSB]

Sluis sector
The Sluis sector contains the planets Dagobah, Bpfassh, Praesitlyn, and Sluis Van. [HTTE, ISWU]

Sluis Van
Located in the Sluis sector, Sluis Van contains extensive shipyards and the huge Sluis Van Central orbit-
dock station, and is defended by perimeter battle stations. The busy shipyards are managed by an outer
system defense network and the overloaded Sluissi workers at Sluis Control. Six months after the Battle of
Endor, the Sluis Van Congregate was still debating on whether to join the New Republic. Though the Sluis
sector lay closer to New Republic sectors than to the Imperially-held Core Worlds, the Sluissi did not want
to alienate the Empire, which was still one of their main shipyard clients. Five years after Endor, Grand
Admiral Thrawn launched an attack on 112 warships docked at Sluis Van, attempting to capture several of
them with a cloaked cargo of spacetrooper-manned mole miners. No warships were captured, but the
destruction of their control systems rendered over 40 of them useless. Notable members of the snakelike
Sluissi species include Secles Uslopos, henchman for the crimelord Abdi-Badawzi on the planet Socorro.
Wraith Squadron pilot Kell Tainer once worked as a snubfighter mechanic on Sluis Van. The famously cute
holo actress Tuatara Lone, known for her comedies and dramas, is also from Sluis Van. [HTTE, DFR,
SWAJ, XWWS]

Smarteel
Jabba the Hutt visited Cabrool Nuum's base on Smarteel in an attempt to sell Nuum a captured freighter. In
the ensuing adventure, Jabba killed Nuum and his two children. [JTH]

Smuggler's Run
Located near the planet Wrea, Smuggler's Run is an asteroid belt surrounded by debris that serves as a
hideout for hundreds of smugglers. Entering the belt is extremely dangerous, and only a handful of people
know the correct route. For years it has been a secure, well-defended safehouse; even the Empire was
unsuccessful in trying to infiltrate the Run. The resident smugglers inhabit hollowed-out asteroids lying
within the belt and travel among them in small specialized vehicles called Skippers. Inhabited asteroids
within the Run include Skip 1, Skip 2, Skip 3, Skip 5, Skip 6, Skip 8, Skip 52, and Skip 72. Han Solo,
Lando Calrissian, and many others all spent time at Smuggler's Run during their early careers; Han's first
visit occurred approximately five years before the Battle of Yavin. A few years before Yavin, Lando stole a
fortune in treasure from the Glottalphib crimelord Nandreeson. Nandreeson put a price on Calrissian's head
and vowed his death if he ever returned to the Run. Years later, the smugglers began to make a great deal
of money by selling old Imperial military equipment to Kueller on the planet Almania. Thirteen years after
the Battle of Endor, Han Solo's old smuggling associate Jarril asked Han for his help investigating the
recent activities in Smuggler's Run. When Lando arrived at the Run to check on Han, he was captured and
nearly killed by Nandreeson. Soon after, many smugglers were killed when their stolen droids exploded.
[NR, HG]

Socorro
The dry desert world Socorro orbits a red giant star in the isolated Socorran system, approximately three
days travel from the Nodgra system. The planet's black volcanic-ash surface gives it its name, which
means "scorched earth" in Old Corellian. The vast Doaba Badlands cover three-quarters of the planet's
surface, and are home to several nomadic tribes including the Bharhulai and Ibhaan'I. A range of dormant
volcanoes known as the Rym mountains runs through the badlands, and the world possesses few valuable
natural resources. Sandstorms are common at the world's polar regions, where temperatures still remain a
burning 110 degrees. Animal life in the deserts includes the water beetle and sandfly. Vakeyya, the capital
and only large city on Socorro, lies adjacent to the Soco-Jarel space station of landing pads and hangar
bays. Though the planet has not seen rain in nearly 1000 years, there are enough underground water
reserves to sustain the 300 million smugglers and nomads, who live under no form of organized
government.

Socorro is a haven for free-traders and outlaws, and the planet has a long, proud tradition of piracy. Illegal
ship modifications remain a major source of planetary revenue. Socorrans have a deep sense of honor and
integrity, and their strong loyalty to others is one reason why bounty hunters traditionally avoid the planet.
According to custom, Socorrans travel offworld to die, but those who cannot often wander into the desert
when their time is at hand. It is considered taboo among Socorrans to discuss those who have passed away.
Socorro was one of the first worlds colonized by early Corellian settlers, and most inhabitants speak a
distinctive dialect of the ancient Old Corellian language. This language is called Socorran, but is
sometimes inappropriately termed "Middle Corellian." The leader of the planet's underworld is the Twi'lek
gangster Abdi-Badawzi, who rules from his subterranean fortress at the base of the Rym mountains. The
famous smuggler Karl Ancher, now retired, runs the Black Dust Tavern in Vakeyya. The young smuggler
Drake Paulsen was born on Socorro. [SWAJ]

Solaest
The site of the Solaest Uprising, which was suppressed by Imperial forces. [SWS]

Sombure sector
The Sombure sector is located near the Wornal sector. Imperial Moff Prentioch, ruler of the Sombure
sector, began to expand his own territory following the Battle of Endor. His forces made advances into
neighboring sectors including Wornal, where he ran against the competing forces of Moff Eyrgen. [SWAJ]

Soruus system
For many years, the provincial government of the Soruus system sentenced their criminals to fight to the
death in gladiatorial combat. When the Min-Dal company took this as an opportunity to test its prototype
Gladiator battle armor, several of the armored criminals managed to blast out of the arena and cause great
damage. They were eventually stopped by the Empire, and Min-Dal was forced to cancel its armor
production. [SWAJ]

Spangled Veil Nebula

Located in the Meridian sector near Exodo II and Odos, the Spangled Veil Nebula is filled with glowing
white clouds of dust and massive drifting chunks of ice. Nine years after the Battle of Endor, Han Solo and
Lando Calrissian were attacked by an Imperial fleet from the nearby Antemeridian sector while at Exodo II.
They lost their pursuers in the Spangled Veil Nebula. [POT]

Spefik
Two wings of TIE fighters attacked the anti-orbital ion cannons on Spefik. The cannons were destroyed by
a salvo from pilot Ranulf Trommer. [ROC]

Spira
A tropical pleasure world near the Inner Core. With very little axial tilt, and almost no dangerous native
life, Spira is one of the most popular vacation destinations among the wealthy Core World citizens. The
planet is almost entirely covered by a sparkling sea, broken only by small islands. Scouted by the Old
Republic over a thousand years ago, Spira is now leased from the Empire by the Tourist Guild. Air traffic
to the planet is limited to passenger liners and registered transports, and personal weapons are forbidden.
Spira's mostly human population numbers only 500,000, and the Spira Security Police handle most local
disturbances. Ataria Island is home to Spira's major spaceport and its most exclusive resorts. Spectacular
cliffs compose its north and west sides, and luxurious beaches can be found to the east.

The exclusive Aspre Plunge resort is built directly into Ataria Island's north cliff face, and it extends one
hundred meters below the water's surface. Gamblers in the Aspre Plunge's famous casino can look out its
windows and view Spira's colorful marine life. A small Imperial garrison is located near Ataria Island's
spaceport. The Shinkai Abyss, an underwater chasm lying near Ataria Island, runs almost 5000 kilometers
and is encrusted with sparkling crystal. Spira's large, predatory Camray eels inhabit the Abyss and make
popular trophies for vacationing sport hunters. Spira's largest island is on the opposite side of the planet,
and its southern cape is an intersection of dangerous ocean currents called the Point. A crashed alien
spaceship of unknown age or origin lies beneath the ocean and is a popular attraction for recreational
divers. Spira is famous for the annual Spira Regatta, in which yacht crews race each other around the entire
planet in a matter of days. Underwater plant life includes lacy green seafern, and marine animals include
the parasitic Galub slug. [SWAJ]

Spuma
New Republic intelligence agents on Spuma discovered increased trooper recruitment into the fleet of
Admiral Harrsk, one of the few Imperial warlords remaining eight years after the Battle of Endor. [COTJ]

Squab
The star orbited by Skor II, home planet of the Squibs. [GG4]

Sriluur
Sights on Sriluur include the sandstorms of Varic and the port city of Dnalvec. Animal life on the planet
includes dark wolves, fierce nocturnal beasts that some Weequays are skilled enough to tame. Alliance
major Adazian Liebke, a Weequay, once served in the Dnalvec militia and fought in the Houk-Weequay
conflicts. After the conflicts ended, the Empire built a permanent garrison along the Copper Coast and in
the industrial capital of Meirm. The Nikto assassin Ma'w'shiye, while he was still an Alliance agent, helped
defend the two remaining Dnalvec militia outposts on Sriluur against an Imperial attack. [SWAJ]

StarCave
(see ThonBoka)

Starforge Station
Six months after the Battle of Endor, Han Solo and Baron Soontir Fel traveled in the Millennium Falcon to
Starforge Station, pursuing a ship that had left Eiattu carrying the kidnapped captives Tycho Celchu and
Winter. Solo and Fel questioned a smuggler and learned that the trail led to the planet Axxila. [XW]

Stassia
An agricultural planet, Stassia is a placid and unremarkable member of the Core Worlds. Its 1.3 billion
human inhabitants are known for their indifferent and accepting natures, and are all steady supporters of the
Empire. Stassia has been settled for ages, and was originally ruled by the members of the 15 Head Clans,
who were descendants of the original colonists. The world is now ruled by Imperial governor Tren
Pergallis. Stassia City is home to swoop races and ringer tournaments, and is the base of operations for the
local crime madame Aalia Duu-lang. Sergeant Zeck Tambell is a special investigator for the Imperial
Governor's office on Stassia. [SWAJ]

Stenness node
Sometimes referred to as the Stenness system, the node is actually a group of three planetary systems
whose primary industry is mining. The node is located on the rim of the galaxy on the mining frontier and
contains the planets Ambria and Taboon. The twenty-five humanoid species inhabiting the node are
collectively referred to as "Nessies," who control the various mining operations and cut deals with outside
traders. BolBol the Hutt is said to practically own the Stenness system.

Four thousand years ago, the Stenness underworld was controlled by a Hutt named Great Bogga, and the
Nessies transported mutonium cargoes in ships made from the hollowed exoskeletons of the Colossus
Wasps of Ithull. Han Solo and his former lover Salla Zend used to run Kessel spice to the Stenness system
and compete to see who could strike the best deal from the Nessies. The bounty hunters Zardra and Jodo
Kast, pursuing the Thig Brothers into the Stenness system, caught up with their quarry on Taboon. The
ensuing firefight resulted in the death of Mageye the Hutt. [DE, TOTJ, TFTC]

Stic
Stic is a planet of continual climactic and geologic change and is home to the insectoid species known as
the Xi'Dec. Due to the necessity of adapting to the rapid changes of Stic the Xi'Dec have evolved hundreds
of specialized sexes throughout their history, each with its own unique appearance and abilities. Currently
there are over 180 different sexes of Xi'Dec with the Xi'Alpha (the most common sex) composing almost
six percent of the population. During various periods of Xi'Dec history warrior, constructor, messenger,
and other sexes have appeared and disappeared to suit the needs of the community. Xi'Dec society is
organized around the family unit, which never contains more than one member of the same sex, and has
developed moderate technology. Tourism is a main industry of Stic, and many Xi'Dec are employed in the
galaxy in genetics, geology, and other scientific fields. [GG4]

Storinal
Storinal, orbited by several moons, is a lush, green, humid world under Imperial control at the edge of the
Empire's territory. The planet's beautiful surface is covered with rivers, tropical flower gardens, and
natural-looking cities, making Storinal very popular with tourists and warship crews on shore leave. The
local residents have a philosophy of beautification, decorating their towns with sculptures of spirits from
their mythological past. The capital city, Scohar, has the planet's largest spaceport, features a number of
recreational complexes and thrill rides, and is the site of the Scohar Xenohealth Institute. The Institute is
the planetary center for disease control and possesses a plasma bomb self-destruct feature to prevent any
dangerous plague from escaping its laboratories. The entertainment-complex city of Revos is much smaller
than Scohar and has architecture tending towards curving pastel towers -- both cities are connected by the
Revos-Scohar repulsorlift railway which largely travels underground (only dipping above the surface when
the tracks pass by a particularly beautiful vista). The Revos spaceport, located outside the city walls, is a
large duracrete circle several kilometers in diameter, dotted with ferrocrete bunkers (including Bunker 22-
Aleph) and defended with retractable laser emplacements. Points of interest in Revos include the Sunfruit
Promenade (a roofed patio with flower gardens), a seedy bar called the Howler, and the Revos Liberty
hostel located on an artificial riverside beach. Animal life on the planet includes the Storini Glass Prowler,
a translucent bipedal insect. Approximately four years after the Battle of Endor, the members of Wraith
Squadron came to Storinal for two purposes: to infect the crew of Warlord Zsinj's corvette Hawkbat with a
non-lethal virus, and to capture two working TIE fighters. While the Wraiths' corvette Night Caller waited
at the system's outer planet, one team secured a virus from the Scohar Xenohealth Institute while another
stole two TIEs from the Revos spaceport. [XWWS]

Storthus
The homeworld of the giant Stone Eels, creatures composed of living rock. [D]

Stroiketcy
Likely a captured comet, Stroiketcy is one of the three planets of the Yavin system. The planet is noted for
its trailing "tail" of atmosphere and its solid rock core. Due to its wide elliptical orbit, Stroiketcy varies
between the second- and third-planet position in the Yavin system during its year. The world's surface is
almost entirely water, with only a handful of rock outcroppings breaking the surface amid constant rainfall
and fog. At either pole are two permanent ice caps (called Vanyets and Tsorria), and huge glaciers can be
found drifting across the deep oceans. Stroiketcy's elliptical orbit causes an extended winter period when it
is far from the system's sun, at which time all open water on the planet may freeze. Though it has never
been confirmed, unicellular life might exist in Stroiketcy's oceans. The planet's name comes from the
Corellian for "tailed one." [GG2]

Sullust
Sullust is a volcanic world in the Sullust system of the Outer Rim, midway between Yetoom and Ithor and
orbited by the inhabited moon of Sulon. The planet, covered with thick clouds of hot, barely-breathable
gasses, is habitable (for most species) only in its vast networks of chilly underground caves. In these caves
the native Sullustans have built beautiful underground cities, which serve as tourist draws for many other
galactic citizens. Piringiisi is one popular resort spot on the planet, known for its hot springs and caustic
green mud. The amiable Sullustans are highly valued as pilots and navigators, due to a Sullustan's
instinctive ability to remember any path he or she has traveled. Sullustans possess excellent hearing due to
their oversized ears. The massive SoroSuub (or SoroSub) Corporation is based on Sullust and employs
nearly half the population in its mining, energy, packaging, and production divisions. Sullustan exports
include injecto-kit shoes, prefabricated room units, and plastic corneal replacements, and SoroSuub once
manufactured Dragon battle armor for the Sullustan military. The Sullustans have established a permanent
system Home Guard navy to protect their shipping from pirates and criminals. Drutash grubs are
considered a Sullustan delicacy, and other native animals include shelled reptiles.

Despite the Rebel sympathies of many Sullustans, the SoroSuub Corporation dissolved the Sullustan
government, seized control of the planet, and declared its allegiance to the Empire. Nien Nunb and his
sister, Aril Nunb, began stealing shipments from SoroSuub and turning them over to the Alliance. After
being forced out of the Sullust system by the Imperials, Councilor Sian Tevv brought Nien Nunb's private
raiding squad into Alliance service. Prior to the Battle of Yavin, after the Alliance rescued a Sullustan
leader kidnapped by the Empire, the Sullustans seemed to join the Alliance. However, it was not until late
in the war when the leaders of Sullust finally held a vote and decided to officially secede from the Empire.
The Alliance fleet assembled near Sullust just prior to the Battle of Endor. Nien Nunb's sister Aril Nunb
later served as the Executive Officer for Rogue Squadron. Dllr Nep was a Sullustan pilot in the famed
Rogue Squadron. [ROTJ, ROJN, SWS, LC, COTJ, DESB, FP, XW, XWRS, XWWG, SWAJ, DF, HG]

Sulon
Sulon is the moon of Sullust, and is primarily given over to agriculture; most of its colonists are second and
third generation farmers. Baron's Hed, the moon's primary city, is thirty minutes east of the Katarn family
homestead via a six-lane road that narrows to four lanes as it passes across a twenty-kilometer bridge. At
the center of Baron's Hed is a hill called Baron's Knoll and a towering structure called Government House,
built by the Dark Jedi Jerec when he served as Sulon's temporary governor. The city's homes are arrayed in
step-layered rings around Baron's Knoll, with the poorest citizens inhabiting the lowest outer ring in seedy
districts like Rimmer's Alley. Under Imperial rule heavy security was maintained at the city gates,
including regular AT-ST patrols. The Empire also imposed stiff taxes on all vehicular traffic, allowed
ruthless bandit gangs to attack local convoys, and brought in a tribe of Tusken Raiders from Tatooine to
work as enforcers and thugs. Sulon's spaceport is a half-kilometer to the east of Baron's Hed, while Fuel
City is ten kilometers south of the spaceport. Fuel City is a mass of storage tanks, flow pipes, floodlights,
and missile batteries, arrayed around nine elevated refueling stations. Not far from Fuel City are the Nefra
Canyons, located in the dry region beyond the Hanto mountain range and including two closely-spaced
mountain peaks called "the twins" by the locals. The Geo Thermal (or G-Tap) is a vast power-generating
structure located in a spring-fed subterranean cavern. Tap trees serve as natural pumps since rainfall is
insufficient for crops at times; the water is distributed through a droid-dug network of underground shafts.
A small, long-abandoned space station floats in orbit overhead. Indigenous plant life includes poro
poppies, red pyro flowers, and nantha blossoms. Animal life includes goat-like gra herds, lume bugs,
flatwings (which create nests laid out in perfectly symmetrical patterns), harmless eye-eye snakes (which
have one eye on their heads and another on their tails), and hole balls (tiny creatures that inhabit burrows
and disguise themselves with bits of debris stuck in their fur). Variform cattle are raised on a few local
ranches. Rebel Alliance agent Kyle Katarn is a native of Sulon -- his father Morgan Katarn was an
agricultural machine salesman and mechanic in a small rural community. Morgan Katarn operated a
variform bean farm which was watered by a thousand-year old tap tree that acted as a siphon. Not long
before the Battle of Yavin (while Kyle Katarn was attending the Imperial academy), Morgan Katarn led
hundreds of political refugees from Sulon to establish a new home on Ruusan. Soon after, the Dark Jedi
Jerec orchestrated the pacification of Sulon with help from Captain Thrawn of the Star Destroyer
Vengeance. After the local resistance fighters were killed in the Battle of G-Tap, Jerec ordered their heads
-- including the head of Morgan Katarn -- placed on display in the spaceport. The Empire officially
claimed the deaths were caused by Rebel terrorists. Approximately a year after the Battle of Endor, the
Dark Jedi Yun, Sariss, and Boc arrived at the Katarn homestead and stole a set of ceiling tiles containing
the coordinates to the Valley of the Jedi on Ruusan. Kyle Katarn was unable to stop them, but followed
their trail through Baron's Hed and Fuel City. [DF, DFSFE, DFRA]

Sumitra sector
The Sumitra sector contains the planet Tierfon where a Rebel starfighter base was established to patrol the
outer edges of the sector. The Empire was aware of Rebel activity, but since the sector contains 12,387
planets and moons, locating Tierfon base was a difficult task. [SWS]

Sunaj
Following the Battle of Yavin, the Star Destroyer Relentless was to receive a cargo of new TIE interceptors
at a rendezvous near Sunaj. The replacement cargo was destroyed by an Alliance strike team. [FP]

Sunaj IV
The Imperial frigate Juvani, undergoing service near Sunaj IV in the time following the Battle of Yavin,
was attacked and destroyed by the Alliance. [FP]

Sundari
The third planet in the Garos system, Sundari is a hot, arid mining colony which was settled nearly 4000
years ago. Sundari immediately began inter-system trade with its sister planet Garos IV, since the Sundars
were dependent on an outside supply of foodstuffs. About 200 years ago, large numbers of Sundars began
emigrating to Garos IV and establishing new businesses and factories, earning the resentment of Garosians
who were hurt by the new competition. A civil war between the two planets erupted when a Garosian grain
processing facility was destroyed -- intentionally, some claimed, by the Sundars. The devastating war
raged on for 82 years until a truce was hammered out by Tork Winger, Assistant Minister of Defense for
Garos IV, and Tionthes Turi, a respected Sundar engineer. Violations of the truce, such as the Whahalla
Massacre, continued. but the Empire's intervention into the conflict approximately five years before the
Battle of Yavin brought a sudden, violent end to most resistance. [SWAJ]

Svivren
A planet well-known as a major trading center, Svivren is also noted as being a particularly difficult planet
to conquer. Svivreni traders can be seen in the galaxy wearing their traditional garb of dulbands and robes.
Mara Jade was sent to Svivren by the Emperor after she failed to kill Luke Skywalker at Jabba's palace on
Tatooine. Later, a Crystal Gravfield Trap of General Bel Iblis' was lost at Svivren, creating an urgent need
for a new CGT array during the siege of Coruscant. [LC, TFJP]

Taanab
Points of interest on the agricultural planet Taanab include the Pandath spaceport and the Banthal Company
orbital docking array, where the largest cargo ships are typically found. Four thousand years ago, the
freighter Kestrel Nova was captured from space pirates near Taanab and was used by Ulic Qel-Droma to
travel to the Tetan system. Millennia later, the planet found itself plagued by annual raids of bandits from
Norulac. One year (no more than seven months after the Battle of Yavin), Lando Calrissian happened to be
at the Pandath spaceport when the pirates arrived for their latest assault. Calrissian, on a bet, agreed to
attack the raiders, and hid his ship in the ice ring surrounding Taanab's moon while he waited for the pirates
to make their run on the docking array. When his target was in position, Calrissian ejected his cargo --
hundreds of Conner nets -- into the center of the attacking fleet. As the pirates struggled to untangle
themselves, the cocky gambler hit them with tractored ice blocks from the moon's ring and caused even
further damage. Finally, Calrissian led the Taanab defense fleet in their clean-up operation, and single-
handedly accounted for nineteen kills. Though the Taanab portmaster offered him a permanent job,
Calrissian declined, preferring instead to investigate his newly-won deed to a Clendoran brewery. Later,
just prior to the Battle of Endor, Calrissian was promoted to Alliance general partly on the notoriety of this
incident. Over five years later, Joruus C'baoth coordinated an Imperial attack on Taanab, where he used the
Bellicose's turbolasers to destroy a New Republic ship over the direct orders of Captain Aban. Famed
Rogue Squadron pilot Wes Janson is a native of Taanab. [ROTJ, ROJN, DFR, DLOS, SWAJ, GOF, XW]

Taboon
Taboon, located in the Stenness system, is circled by many moons -- one of which was the private moon of
Great Bogga the Hutt. Bogga, who constructed a great palace on Taboon, was the ruler of the Stenness
underworld four thousand years ago. Millennia later, the bounty hunters Zardra and Jodo Kast tracked their
targets to the Red Shadow, a Taboon bistro. The ensuing firefight resulted in the explosive death of
Mageye the Hutt. [TOTJ, TFTC]

Tal Nami system

The home system of the Tal Nami. The Tal Nami need two foods to survive -- the fruit of the egoa tree and
the root of the capabara plant. Since the two plants cannot grow in the same region, the Tal Nami have
developed a rigid code of honor among their traders to ensure that everyone gets what they need to survive.
If a trader breaks the code, he is tied securely to an egoa tree. Since the trees can grow as much as a meter
a day, the offender is swiftly torn apart. [GOF]

Tala 9
The location of a droid-run factory that used only droid languages for their landing codes. They stopped
this practice when two ships crashed in orbit because their shipboard computers couldn't handle the
languages. [NR]

Talasea
The fourth planet in the Morobe system, Talasea orbits the yellow primary star in a red/yellow binary group
and is orbited by several moons. A cool, moist, fog-shrouded world, Talasea has a higher gravity than
standard and is lashed by severe thunderstorms during the rainy season. Island continents make up its land
masses. Animal life includes native insects and reptiles, along with feral mammals descended from those
brought for an early farming colony. Indigenous plant life includes green ivy and the kaha tree.

Colonized long ago, most of the settlers' descendants left over the years, and the last group of them were
wiped out by Darth Vader after the Clone Wars for harboring a fugitive Jedi. Some three years after the
Battle of Endor, Rogue Squadron was moved from Folor to Talasea, closer to the Galactic Core, as a
staging area for their eventual move on Coruscant. They made their base on the largest of the island
continents, inhabiting the ruins of Talasea's Planetary Governor's Palace and the surrounding ivy-covered
cottages. The Palace's primitive Grand Room was built of heavy native wood and thick plaster. After
Imperial Intelligence agent Kirtan Loor deduced the location of Rogue Squadron's new headquarters,
Admiral Devlia ordered a platoon of stormtroopers to secretly infiltrate the base and plant explosives.
Though the squadron lost six sentries and pilot Lujayne Forge, all of the Imperial commandos were
captured or killed. The Alliance immediately evacuated the base, leaving behind several booby traps for
any Imperial follow-up teams to discover. After the Rogues resigned from the New Republic military, they
briefly considered re-establishing a base on Talasea. Approximately four years after the Battle of Endor,
the New Republic made it appear as if they planned to establish a new base on Talasea in order to relocate
their evacuees from Folor. Warlord Zsinj attempted to wipe out the New Republic task force with the Star
Destroyer Implacable, the frigate Provocateur, and the corvettes Constrictor and Night Caller (the latter
secretly commanded by the members of Wraith Squadron). The Implacable, however, realized that Talasea
was actually a New Republic ambush and dropped out of hyperspace early. The remaining ships emerged
in the middle of the trap; the Constrictor was captured and the Provocateur was destroyed. After the battle,
the victorious New Republic forces landed on Talasea's surface and set up a temporary encampment of
inflatable domes in the center of a wide field to discuss the battle and effect repairs. [XWRS, XWBW,
XWWS]

Talfaglio system
One of the Outlier systems in the Corellian sector. Fourteen years after the Battle of Endor, Mara Jade
intercepted a message drone in the Talfaglio system, which she brought to Leia Organa Solo on Corellia.
[AAC]

Tallaan
A planet in the Core Worlds near the Colonies region, Tallaan is the site of the Tallaan Imperial Shipyards.
When Grand Moff Tarkin was killed aboard the first Death Star, the Empire released an official statement
claiming that Tarkin had actually died in a shuttle crash at the Tallaan shipyards. [SWAJ]

Tallek
When the planet Tallek was hit with an outbreak of deadly thorn fever, Imperial medics placed the sick in
isolation camps and let them die. [SWAJ]

Taloraan
The largest planet in the isolated Kelavine system of the Expansion Region, Taloraan is an unexplored gas
giant nearly 100,000 kilometers in diameter. The planet has a strong magnetic field, and is orbited by seven
uninhabitable moons and a spectacular ring system. Taloraan's hot atmosphere, rich in tibanna gas, is
breathable at high altitudes, and several forms of life have evolved among its clouds. Sleft-chuffni are
huge, 200-meter long gasbags which gather drifting algae with their hanging tentacles, while the
carnivorous flying rays called fleft-wauf hunt the sleft-chuffni and attack with their barbed tails. Years ago,
several groups of humans were somehow stranded on Taloraan and separated into two groups -- the
peaceful Denfrandi and the belligerent Wind Raiders. The Denfrandi keep a herd of one hundred sleft-
chuffni, and live in gondolas slung underneath the beasts. The Wind Raiders attack on fleft-wauf mounts,
and live within the body cavity of a colossal, kilometer-long floater known as an island-beast. [SWAJ]

Talus
One of the five habitable planets in the Corellian system, Talus is a blue, white and green world the same
size as its sister planet Tralus, and both orbit a common center of gravity (where Centerpoint Station is
located). Together they are referred to as the Double Worlds, and both are ruled by the elected Federation
of the Double Worlds, or Fed-Dub. Beneath the surface of Talus is a planetary repulsor, which was used in
ancient times to move the planet into its current orbit from an unknown location. When a flare-up in
Centerpoint Station (fourteen years after the Battle of Endor) caused many deaths, the survivors were
relocated to Talus and Tralus. When word spread of the incident, a rebellion against Fed-Dub occurred on
Talus. A group of starfighters, possibly representing the Talus rebellion, subsequently flew to Centerpoint
and claimed the station for themselves, until chased off by a Bakuran task force. [AAC, AAS, SAC]

Tamban
A world once home to the Emperor Preedu III. Years ago, the First Observer of Preedu III's Court
discovered a distant star cluster in Tamban's night sky. Remembering a recent favor done for him by Aitro
Koornacht, night commander of the palace guard, the astronomer named his discovery the Koornacht
Cluster. [BTS]

Tammar
Tammar is the homeworld of the alien Tammarians. The planet has an unusually thin atmosphere for a
habitable world, and the Tammarians have consequently evolved a chemical pouch -- called the chaghizs
torm -- to store oxygen while at rest, which allows the aliens to survive in vacuum for short periods.
Tammar also has no standing water, and the greatest fear of a typical Tammarian is to be immersed in
liquid. Ayddar Nylykerka, chief researcher in the New Republic's Asset Tracking office, is a native of
Tammar. [BTS]

Tammuz-an
Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, after leaving the planet Teyr, Luke Skywalker briefly monitored the
ship Star Hummer, belonging to Joa Pqis and registered on both Tammuz-an and Vobos. [SOL]

Tandankin
The planet Tandankin was taken over by Imperial forces under the command of Grand Moff Nivers
following the Battle of Endor. When Rogue Squadron arrived to free the planet, Wedge Antilles was forced
to topple an enormous tower -- the Tandankin people's greatest monument -- in order to destroy a landing
strip filled with TIE fighters. [XW]

Tandell system
Tiree, a Rebel agent, killed the Imperial Governor Lord Cuvir while on Wor Tandell. Cuvir had discovered
Tiree encoding a report on Imperial fleet movements in the Tandell system. [MTS]

Tangrene
Tangrene was the site of a major Imperial Ubiqtorate base, until General Garm Bel Iblis' private army
bypassed three Star Destroyers and completely destroyed the installation. Later, while the Ubiqtorate base
was being rebuilt, the New Republic tried to give the impression that they were intending to attack
Tangrene to acquire a CGT array. In reality, their true target was Bilbringi. [DFR, LC]

Tao-Grant system
A Rebel Alliance cell was located on the second moon of the Tao-Grant system's lone gas giant. The
Bothan diplomat Tereb Ab'Lon tried to deliver a stolen schedule of Imperial fleet movements to the Rebels
in this cell, but was killed before he could do so. [SWAJ]

Taraloon
A small, uncharted world of plateaus and subterranean canyons, Taraloon is hidden deep within the Quintar
Nebula. The pirate Drek Drednar has established a secret base on the planet, deep within an underground
world of rivers and trees. The planet was discovered by Drednar's navigator Tron Nixx, who gave it its
name -- "Taraloon" means "buried treasure" on Nixx's homeworld of Corlass. Animal life on Taraloon
includes the predatory, reptilian gornalak. [SWAJ]

Targonn
The home planet of a bird-like alien species, formerly under the brutal rule of Dictator-Forever Craw.
Craw, ruling from his palace behind an impenetrable force field, imposed a 99 percent tax rate on his
subjects and forced their children to toil in factories until the age of six. Before their service to Captain
Antilles, R2-D2 and C-3PO were captured by Craw and taken to his palace. Craw planned to uncover the
secret of the savorium herb, (which turned people into happy slaves called “smilers”) and then rule over a
contented but mindless populace. Meanwhile, several splinter groups dedicated to overthrowing Craw
united under the revoltist leader Shay, and infiltrated the palace through the sewer’s force-field hole. Their
attack was unsuccessful, but they managed to rescue the two droids. A second attack, aided by R2 and
3PO’s Ithorian master Zorneth, resulted in the defeat of Craw and his forces. [D]

Taroon system
Located on the outer edges of the Rim, the Taroon system contains the planets Kuan and Bordal. [TSC]

Tarsunt system
Xenobiologists studying Jabba the Hutt's famed rancor discovered that the crashed ship which had brought
the creature to Tatooine, piloted by Captain Grizzid, had last docked in the Tarsunt system. It has since
been revealed that rancors exist on the planet Dathomir and in the Ottethan system. [MTS, TFJP]

Tatooine
A harsh, desert planet orbiting a double star in the Outer Rim, near the worlds of Ryloth and Piroket,
Tatooine is located in the system of the same name. Far from the galactic mainstream, Tatooine happens to
occupy a strategic location at the nexus of several hyperspace routes. Unfortunately, there is very little of
interest on Tatooine, and it is ignored by almost everyone, with the exception of smugglers and criminals.
The G1 and G2 stars of the system are referred to as Tatoo I and II, and the planet is orbited by two moons.
Over the centuries Tatooine has been the site of many orbital battles between rival gangsters and smugglers,
and its surface is littered with ancient starship wrecks -- most of which have long since been buried by the
fierce sandstorms that rage across its surface every year. Tatooine has only been officially colonized for a
few hundred years, but it boasts two native alien species: the meddlesome Jawas and the fierce Tusken
Raiders, commonly called Sandpeople.

The nomadic Sandpeople spend their lives swathed in thick wrappings, looking out at the world from
behind fearsome masks. They are intoxicated by sugar water and are most dangerous during their
adolescent years, when they must survive rigorous rites of passage (such as hunting krayt dragons) to
become adults. The Storyteller is the most respected member of Tusken communities, and it is considered
blasphemy (and grounds for instant death) to speak a single word of the sacred stories incorrectly. Many
Tusken Raider clans return annually to their traditional encampments in the Needles, a section of the
Jundland Wastes, to wait out the dangerous sandstorm season. The Sandpeople have an almost symbiotic
relationship with their bantha mounts -- a member who has lost his bantha is considered incomplete, and an
outcast among his people. Some Tusken Raiders were brought to the moon Sulon by the Empire to work as
local enforcers. The junk-dealing Jawas travel the desert in former ore hauling/mining vehicles called
Sandcrawlers and live in protected fortresses in the badlands; their numerous clans annually assemble for a
large swap meet. Animal life on the planet includes the bantha, dewback, womp rat, sandfly, bone-gnawer,
gravel-maggot, dune lizard, sandsnake, rockmite, feathered lizard, sand-jigger, meewit, cliffborer worm,
garbage rat, a species of strange (but harmless) protoplasmic creatures, and the feared Sarlacc, which is said
to take a thousand years to digest its prey. Tatooine is also home to the terrifying krayt dragon, possibly
feared more than any other animal in the sector. Though it is considered a suicidal venture, some hunt the
krayt dragon to obtain its legendary, priceless gizzard stones, known as "dragon pearls." Many colonists on
the planet run moisture farms (which condense water from the dry air with vaporators) and pika and deb-
deb fruits have been known to grow in certain oases. Some water prospectors roam the desert searching for
untapped sources of subterranean moisture. The native hubba gourd is a primary part of the diet of both the
Sandpeople and Jawas, and other plant life includes razor moss and the funnel flower. Strange mists
sometimes form where the sodium-rich dunes meet the rocky cliffs, though the origin of these mists is a
mystery. Points of interest on Tatooine include the Dune Sea and the neighboring Jundland Wastes,
Anchorhead, Motesta, Toshi Station, Bestine township, Bildor's Canyon, Beggar's Canyon (containing a
route called the Main Avenue which leads into Dead Man's Turn and later to the Stone Needle), and the
Mos Eisley spaceport.

Mos Eisley, the primary city of Tatooine, has been described as a "wretched hive of scum and villainy." It
is bordered by mountains on the north, and on the opposite side by the decaying buildings of the southern
sector. The wreckage of the Dowager Queen, the planet's first colony ship, can be found in the center of
town. Other sites in Mos Eisley include the Lucky Despot hotel and casino (owned by the Whipid gangster
Lady Valarian), Lup's General Store, the Spaceport Traffic Control Tower, dewback stables, the Mos Eisley
Inn, Ruillia's Insulated Rooms, the underground Mos Eisley Towers hotel, Gap's Grill, Pylokam's Health
Food booth, the Court of the Fountain restaurant, outdoor cafes, Spaceport Speeders, Kayson's Weapons
Shop, Heff's Souvenir Shop, Turhaya's Landspeeder Repair shop, the Red Moon Saloon, a Dim-U
monastery where ships can have their transponders illegally altered, a treasure-filled town house owned by
the crimelord Jabba the Hutt, and the infamous Mos Eisley Cantina owned by Chalmun the Wookiee. After
the Battle of Endor, the master chef Porcellus opened the Crystal Moon restaurant in Mos Eisley, and its
fame has spread throughout the Outer Rim. A grove of Cydorrian driller trees, planted by the Ithorian
Momaw Nadon, grows in the mountains north of Mos Eisley, and somewhere in the desert there is rumored
to be a colony of alien Kitonaks. Jabba the Hutt also owned a well-guarded palace in the Dune Sea, which
served as the center of his widespread criminal empire. Not far from Jabba's Palace is a region called the
Valley of the Wind, where sandstorms toss flecks of stone -- the "Teeth of Tatooine" -- at anyone caught out
in the open. The world is ruled by Governor Aryon from the city of Bestine, and Prefect Eugene Talmont is
in charge of the local Imperial garrison.

The Jedi knight Dace Diath, who lived four thousand years ago, was a native of Tatooine. Several centuries
ago, exiled monks of the B'omarr Order built a huge monastery in the on the edge of the Dune Sea, nearly
2500 kilometers from Mos Eisley. The bandit Alkhara took up residence in part of the monastery and
remained there for 34 years, raiding nearby moisture farms while expanding and improving the citadel.
The B'omarr monastery was the home of many other gangsters and bandits until eventually becoming the
palace of Jabba the Hutt, who expanded the citadel to encompass a hangar and garage. Throughout the
changes, the B'omarr monks kept to their own affairs in the palace's lowest levels, trying to reach a level of
enlightenment at which their brains could be surgically removed by the other monks and placed in glass
jars, freed from the distractions of the flesh. Decades ago, the Jedi knight Obi-Wan Kenobi came to the
desert planet to place the infant Luke Skywalker in the care of Kenobi's brother Owen Lars and his wife
Beru. Nearly five years before the Battle of Yavin, Han Solo was hired to pilot Jabba's space yacht to
Tatooine but was ambushed by pirates. Over six months later, the bounty hunter Boba Fett visited Tatooine
-- for the first time -- to consider a bounty offer from Jabba. Just prior to the Battle of Yavin, a message
from Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan, whose ship had been captured above Tatooine, helped bring Obi-
Wan Kenobi out of his life as a hermit near the Dune Sea and into the service of the Alliance. Some time
after the Battle of Hoth, IG-88 models C and D were destroyed above Tatooine by Boba Fett. Soon after,
Luke Skywalker returned to Ben Kenobi's house on Tatooine where he constructed a new lightsaber.
Immediately before the Battle of Endor, Luke Skywalker and his friends returned to Tatooine to free Han
Solo from Jabba's palace, which resulted in the death of the crimelord and the collapse of his organization.
The B'omarr monks reclaimed the palace, persuading several of Jabba's lieutenants to join them as
disembodied brains. Soon afterwards, Kuat of Kuat arranged a saturation bombing campaign on the area
surrounding the Great Pit of Carkoon in order to ensure the death of Boba Fett. After the members of
Rogue Squadron resigned from the military (approximately three years after Endor), Mirax Terrik, Corran
Horn, and Gavin Darklighter were sent to Tatooine to obtain Huff Darklighter's secret weapons cache.
Eight years after Endor, the Imperial battlemoon Eye of Palpatine stopped at Tatooine to pick up a
contingent of stormtroopers but brought aboard Sandpeople and Jawas instead. Later that year, Luke
Skywalker and Han Solo returned to Jabba's palace to investigate rumors of the Hutts' Darksaber project.
Thirteen years after Endor, four mercenaries recognized local drunkard Labria as the infamous Butcher of
Montellian Serat, forcing the war criminal to flee to Peppel. [SW, SWN, SWR, ROTJ, ROJN, MTS, LC,

Tau Sakar system

The Tau Sakar system contains seven life-bearing planets orbiting the star Tau Sakar. Garban, the fourth
planet in the system, is the homeworld for the alien species known as the Jenet. Because of the similarities
between all seven worlds, there is some speculation that the entire system was planetscaped by an unknown
alien species sometime in the distant past. The Empire has taken control of this system, and has forced the
Jenet to mine the rich ores that are found in all seven planets. [GG4]

Taul
A mist-shrouded, acidic swampworld in the Gunthar system, Taul was used by the Rebel Alliance as a
training outpost until the facility was destroyed by the Victory Star Destroyer Dominator. [SWAJ]

Teilcam system
Located in the Outer Rim, the Teilcam system's only habitable world is the watery planet Kabaira. [SWAJ]

Teke Ro
A blue giant star circled by Cona, homeworld of the Arcona. [GG4]

Teljkon system
The second documented sighting of the mysterious "ghost ship" called the Teljkon vagabond was in the
Teljkon system, which is what gave the vagabond its name. A Hrasskis monitor ship working the system
spotted the enigmatic vessel. When the Hrasskis approached, the vagabond broadcast a wide-spectrum
signal; thirty seconds later, it vanished into hyperspace. [BTS]

Telti
An airless, lifeless moon of gritty sand, Telti is a vast droid manufacturing plant almost entirely covered by
construction domes and landing strips and riddled with hundreds of subterranean tunnels. The assembly
work, landing procedures, and almost all day-to-day operations are entirely droid-operated. The moon's
primary hangar dome is connected to a protocol droid testing facility, eerily decorated with hands dangling
from the ceiling. The next room is filled with feet, then heads, then eyes and computers, and finally an
assembly area consisting of a three-story dome with dozens of conveyor belts coming from the walls and
meeting at a large tube in the center. Security on the moon is maintained by a squad of 500 modified
gladiator droids nicknamed the Red Terror, while interrogation is handled by a droid called EV-9D9.2.
Telti once served as a mining colony, but its mineral resources were all played out under the Empire. The
droid factory has existed since the days of the Old Republic, though it pledged its loyalty to the Empire
after Palpatine threatened to destroy it. Following the truce at Bakura Telti joined the New Republic, and
has been doing a great deal of business with the New Republic ever since. The factory supplies protocol
units, astromech units, medical units, and almost every other type of droid to the highest levels of the
government on Coruscant.

After fleeing Luke Skywalker's Jedi academy, the Force-sensitive human Brakiss took over as overseer of
the Telti assembly plants. A murderous Almanian named Kueller helped subsidize the operations, and in
return Brakiss began installing remote-triggered detonators in every new droid, beginning this practice
approximately eleven years after the Battle of Endor. Thirteen years after Endor, Luke Skywalker came to
Telti to see his former pupil in regards to the bombing of Senate Hall on Coruscant. Brakiss battled
Skywalker in a lightsaber duel, but ultimately backed down. Later, the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO arrived on
Telti with the young human Cole Fardreamer. Artoo and an army of fellow astromech droids forced
Brakiss to flee the moon, and Artoo also disabled the master control signal that would have detonated all
Telti-issued droids throughout the galaxy. [NR]

Terephon
A planet with dark blue skies in the Hapes cluster. Prince Isolder's personal bodyguard, Captain Astarta,
was from Terephon. [COPL]

Terrijo system
Located between New Cov and Pantolomin, the Terrijo system is where Han Solo removed a homing
beacon planted on the Lady Luck by starship thief Niles Ferrier. [DFR]

Tervissis
The homeworld of the alien species known as Tervigs, who sell members of the semi-intelligent species
known as Bandies (from the same world) to the galaxy as slaves. Nine years after the Battle of Endor, the
New Republic Galactic Court convened a trial of Tervig Bandie-slavers. [POT]

Teta system (Empress Teta system)

Located near the Kuar system, the Teta system contains seven carbonite-mining worlds including Kirrek
and Koros Major, and is named for the female warlord who conquered the system during the early days of
space travel. Raw carbonite is produced from the Tetan mines, primarily from the thick outer rings of a gas
giant in the system, and is a vital ingredient in the construction of hyperdrives. The royal descendants of
Empress Teta rule the system, sharing power and profits with the leaders of the influential Carbonite Guild.

Four thousand years ago, the privileged sons and daughters of the Tetan royalty began experimenting with
the Dark Side of the Force, introduced to them by the royal heirs Satal Keto and Aleema. They formed a
group known as the Krath, which used Sith magic and military force to quickly conquer the system. Public
executions of rebellious carbonite miners were held in the central plaza of the ruling Tetan city of Cinnagar.
The Krath took up residence in Cinnagar's iron citadel, which contains an inner city and an opulent palace
behind its walls. Beneath the citadel are underground dungeons and a vast cavern, where the Krath hung
political prisoners. The Jedi knight Ulic Qel-Droma, following a Tetan attack on a Deneban Jedi assembly,
traveled to Cinnagar in order to learn the Krath's Dark Side secrets. In the ensuing months Satal Keto was
killed and a Jedi attack force attempted to rescue Qel-Droma from the iron citadel, but he had succumbed to
the Dark Side and insisted on remaining in Cinnagar. Qel-Droma joined forces with the Sith Lord Exar
Kun, and the two implemented their plans to bring about a new Golden Age of the Sith. Six months later,
with the Krath armies conquering nearby systems, the warlord Mandalore chose to strike at the heart of the
overextended Tetan empire. Ulic Qel-Droma defeated Mandalore in single combat, and won the warlord's
loyalty and the use of his deadly armies. Later, Aleema attempted to reassert her power over the Krath
forces by abandoning Qel-Droma during an attack on Coruscant, but he was rescued and eventually had
Aleema killed. [DE, DLOS, ISWU, TSW]

Teth
Points of interest on the Outer Rim world of Teth include an Imperial base and an orbital space station.
Approximately four years before the Battle of Yavin, Moff Sarn Shild ordered his sector fleet to assemble at
Teth prior to the Battle of Nar Shaddaa. Han Solo briefly visited Teth to bribe the fleet's admiral into losing
the upcoming conflict. [HG]

Teyr
Teyr is a busy, crowded, bureaucratic world located at the crossroads of three highly-traveled hyperspace
routes (34 light years from Vulvarch) and orbited by at least one moon. The planet is a common tourist
destination due to the Teyr Rift, a four thousand kilometer-long canyon slashing across the planet's face.
Huge orbital parking stations accommodate the arriving traffic. The Rift Skyrail is an incredibly fast
aboveground train that connects all points in the Rift Territory with each other. Cities in the Rift Territory
include Prye Folas (one stop east of Turos Noth), which features a grassy Welcome Park with information
kiosks located between the spaceport and the Skyrail station. Cloud Bridge is the Skyrail's southernmost
stop along the Rift's west rim, and tourists there can rent bubbleback speeders and descend to the Rift
bottom for exploration. The southernmost 80 kilometers of the Teyr Rift are said to be the narrowest and
most beautiful. Griann is a city in the agricultural Greenbelt Region, accessible by taking Flyway 120 west
from Cloud Bridge to the Harvest Flyway intersection (which passes by Griann and eventually leads to
Turos Noth). Griann, five kilometers square, is a gridlike city whose its inhabitants are primarily working-
class farmers. Approximately three years after the Battle of Endor a cyclone hit Griann and wiped out
several homes, including a lowhouse at North Five, Twenty-six Down. Sodonna is a city on the opposite
side of the planet from the Teyr Rift, but accessible via the Rift Skyrail after passing through the city of
Podadun. Sodonna was built on the mouth of the Noga River and was once the gateway to the Inner River
District, though its days of prosperity have long passed. The river city has many commonals -- groups of
houses built around a green park and surrounded by a wall -- including River Gardens, formerly known as
Kell Plath.

The number of off-planet visitors to Teyr has increased so much in recent years that the planet's citizens
have grown fearful of a huge increase in immigration. Therefore, the officials of the Citizen Services
Corps have created kilotons of incomprehensible regulations and red tape to discourage all tourists from
staying once their vacation money has been spent. When the Fallanassi, religious followers of the White
Current, were zealously persecuted on Lucazec, the Fallanassi elders sent five children to other planets --
Teyr, Paig, and Carratos -- for safekeeping. One of the children, Akanah, was sent to Carratos, but
contacted Luke Skywalker twelve years after the Battle of Endor to tell him that his mother was one of the
Fallanassi. Luke and Akanah came to Teyr and searched unsuccessfully for Akanah's Fallanassi "sister"
Norika in the cities of Griann and Sodonna. Luke subsequently discovered that the Fallanassi had sold
their commonal in Sodonna, bought a starliner called the Star Morning with the money, and departed Teyr a
few months before the Battle of Endor. [BTS, SOL]

Thakwaa
Thakwaa is the homeworld of the alien species that also goes by the name Thakwaa. The Thakwaa have
long faces with large brown eyes and mouths filled with white square teeth. Their bodies, typically more
than three meters tall, are covered with short brown fur and very long hair grows from the tops of their
heads. The aliens have a unique mental structure, possessing many "minds," each with its own strengths
and skills. The Thakwaa can flip between these multiple personalities as needed, and move out of
"damaged" minds with ease, even among those individuals who are considered mentally ill. New
personalities emerge as the Thakwaa learn new skills, and they will switch to whatever mind has the
knowledge to best deal with the situation at hand. Approximately four years after the Battle of Endor, a
Thakwaash male named Hohass "Runt" Ekwesh was accepted as a pilot into Wraith Squadron. Runt earned
his nickname because he was small for a Thakwaa, but he still possessed three times the strength of a
typical human. [XWWS, XWIF]

Thassalia
The home of the Blood Prince. [SOL]

Thanos
The blue-white star orbited by Togoria, homeworld of the Togorians. [GG4]
Thanta Zilbra
Thanta Zilbra is the name of a star, its star system, and the system's primary planet. Thanta Zilbra was the
second star destroyed during the starbuster crisis, and Wedge Antilles assisted in the New Republic
evacuation of the planet's settlement. Unfortunately, Thanta Zilbra's population of ten to fifteen thousand
was greatly underestimated by the evacuation force and thousands were left behind when the star went
nova. [AAS]

Thermon
A planet orbited by methane moons, which regularly erupt with spectacular geysers. [HG]

Thila
The Rebels reorganized on Thila following their evacuation of the main base on Yavin 4. It was here that
Alliance historian Voren Na'al began his research into the histories of the Heroes of Yavin. [MTS]

Thobek
The language spoken on the planets Thobek and Wehttam is closely related to the language known as
Torrock. [SOL]

Thokos
Ten thousand years ago, seven colony ships left Thokos to colonize the planet Ammuud. The colony
eventually lost contact with Thokos and was forgotten. [CSSB]

Thokosia system
The smuggler Lo Khan once delivered a spice shipment from the royal governor of the Thokosia system to
Spadda the Hutt in the Aikhibba system. [DESB]

Tholatin
The location of the exclusive smugglers' hideaway called Esau's Ridge. The Ridge, undetectable from
orbit, is hidden in a kilometer-long, 100 meter deep erosion cut located at the bottom of a mountain. A
network of small tunnels extends deep into the heart of the mountain. The adjacent forest-covered valley
has three cleared landing areas disguised by camouflage nets, and the remainder of Tholatin is uninhabited.
Thirteen years after the Battle of Endor, Chewbacca returned to Esau's Ridge with a group of fellow
Wookiees to obtain supplies and information prior to their attempt to rescue Han Solo from the Koornacht
Cluster. [TT]

Tholaz
An inhabited planet within the Koornacht Cluster of the Farlax sector, Tholaz is a primary world of the
alien Yevethans and a member of the Duskhan League. Near the end of the crisis in Koornacht
approximately thirteen years after the Battle of Endor, the Yevetha located a new shipyard at Tholaz.
During the subsequent Battle of N'zoth, the New Republic also attacked Wakiza, Tizon, Z'fell, and Tholaz.
[TT]

Thomork
The orbital shipyards of Thomork were closed down due to a rumored hive virus outbreak. Imperial agents
killed over 450 people to add credence to this rumor, and the abandoned facilities were then a perfect site
for top secret Imperial construction projects. Silencer 1, the first of the Emperor's World Devastators, was
built at these shipyards. [DESB]

ThonBoka (StarCave)
StarCave is a sack-shaped gray nebula composed of dust, gas, and complex organic molecules. It can be
entered only from one direction, and its lightning-charged interior spans over twelve light-years. The
ThonBoka has given rise to thousands of space-dwelling lifeforms, ranging from the intelligent, manta ray-
like Oswaft to carapace-creatures and interstellar plankton which serve as the Oswafts' food. The Oswaft,
ruled by a council of Elders and capable of naturally traversing hyperspace, tend to be cautious creatures
who never leave the safety of their habitat. Three blue-white stars, located in the center of the nebula,
surround the Cave of the Elders -- the only architectural structure in the ThonBoka. This Cave is
constructed entirely from precious gems and is an exact replica of the surrounding nebula, but is only
twenty kilometers across. After discovering the Oswaft approximately three years before the Battle of
Yavin, the Imperial navy viewed the aliens as a threat. They blockaded the entrance to the ThonBoka,
preventing the flow of nutrients and slowly starving its inhabitants, until defeated by Lando Calrissian and
others. [LCSC]

Thrakia
The homeworld of an intelligent insect species with genetically transmitted memories. Three hundred
years ago these insects, who had previously communicated by scent, realized that they could also
communicate by clacking their mandibles together. To this day, they view this ability as a sign that their
species has been gifted by a higher power. [COPL]

Thrugii
A desolate, rocky world located near a wide asteroid belt. Thrugii has been home to seven generations of
failed miners, but the latest group thinks they can make the mines profitable. The miners are considered
"claim jumpers" by the sector authorities, who say they control all rights to Thrugii and the asteroid belt.
After the authorities locked down the planet, the Thrugii miners found themselves in desperate need of food
and supplies. The famed smuggler Kaine Paulsen was killed while trying to deliver a supply cargo to the
miners. [SWAJ]

Thrynka system
Jhensara, a smuggler, intended to reach the Thrynka system with her three R-series droids, but was delayed
by a faulty hyperdrive. [SWAJ]

Thyferra
Located in the Polith system, Thyferra is the homeworld of the mantis-like Vratix and is the center of the
galaxy's bacta industry. The unbearably humid green and white sphere is covered with rainforests, has little
axial tilt, and is situated twelve hours from Yag'Dhul. It has two airless, currently uninhabited moons (one
is white in color), and orbits a yellow star. Thyferra was first contacted during the middle years of the Old
Republic. Though the Vratix had already colonized a Thyferran moon and other bodies in the Polith
system, the contact with the Republic ushered in a new technological revolution. The Vratix soon invented
the healing fluid called bacta by growing alazhi and mixing it with the chemical kavam. The remarkable
fluid was extremely profitable, and wealthy, powerful Vratix operations spread across many worlds,
including Qretu-Five. When the Empire arose, two large bacta-harvesting corporations (Xucphra and
Zaltin) negotiated a special deal with the Imperials, allowing the companies to gain a virtual monopoly on
the bacta industry. These two massive conglomerates control ninety-five percent of the galaxy's bacta and
are collectively known as the "Bacta Cartel." The Empire required humans to run the corporations, and
Xucphra and Zaltin are now controlled by a wealthy and powerful group of ten thousand humans (often
family related) that run Thyferra's government and dominate the lives of their 2.8 million Vratix workers.
Total bacta output by year averages seventeen billion liters. The planetwide government is led by two
canirs (chief officers) who are appointed by an elected council, each canir representing one of the two
corporations. Since Xucphra and Zaltin are in fierce competition with each other, governmental gridlock
frequently ensues and little is accomplished to benefit the 2.8 million Vratix citizens. This has given rise to
the Ashern Circle (Black Claw) terrorist group, which views the corporations as a threat and tries to bring
them down by any means necessary.

The Vratix are a hermaphroditic species that tends to be very long-lived. They often rely on their sense of
touch in social interactions, considering it to be the most reliable of the senses. They also can share surface
thoughts among fellow Vratix that they know well. The Vratix inhabit modest harvester tribes within
Thyferra's rainforests, in dwellings made from saliva and a special mud created by the knytix, a
domesticated servant species. Each village has several high towers with circular terraces standing amid the
gloan trees; arching bridges connect the towers. "Verachen" is the Vratix term for those workers who are
experts at properly mixing bacta. The planet has three spaceports -- the main one was called Zalxuc City (a
combination of Zaltin and Xucphra) but was renamed Xucphra City during Ysanne Isard's takeover of the
planet approximately three years after the Battle of Endor. The spaceport's stone towers reach up above the
dense jungle canopy; the main building is a low two-story rectangle with akonije trees growing through it
and out of its roof. Segregated areas around the spaceport serve as temporary homes for the foreign
workers who are hired to make most of the bacta shipping runs. An exclusive estate belonging to the Dlarit
family is located on a knoll at the base of a waterfall-covered volcanic mountain surrounded by jungle.

Several years ago a group of Ashern terrorists contaminated Bacta Lot ZX1449F from Thyferra, which was
shipped to Coruscant and caused two million Imperial citizens to develop an allergy to the healing fluid. In
the political confusion following the Battle of Endor, Thyferra remained neutral and profited enormously
by selling bacta to both sides. Two and a half years after Endor, the New Republic, anxious to please the
Thyferran leaders, recruited the human pilots Bror Jace (from Zaltin) and Erisi Dlarit (from Xucphra) into
the famous Rogue Squadron. After the capture of Coruscant approximately three years after Endor, the
New Republic became especially dependent on Thyferra to provide bacta for treating the Krytos virus
outbreak. After Ysanne Isard fled Coruscant, she went to Thyferra and supported a local revolution putting
the Xucphra corporation in total control of the planet and making her the planetary Head of State. The New
Republic refused to move against Isard since Thyferra's own citizens had appointed her, so Rogue
Squadron quit the military and went after Isard on their own in an unsanctioned campaign. Isard's
planetary defenses included the Super Star Destroyer Lusankya, the Victory Star Destroyer Corrupter, and
the Imperial Star Destroyers Avarice and Virulence. Isard also established a Thyferran Home Defense
Corps which allowed the natives to fight on her behalf. Near the end of the conflict called the Bacta War,
Isard sent the Lusankya and the Virulence to wipe out Rogue Squadron's space station at Yag'Dhul. The
Rogues chose that moment to hit Thyferra, and were able to destroy the Lusankya when it finally returned
from Yag'Dhul. After the liberation of the planet and its Vratix workers, Thyferra's citizens voted to join
the New Republic. [SWAJ, XWRS, XWWG, XWKT, XWBW]

Tibrin
Tibrin is completely covered by a shallow ocean and is homeworld to the alien species known as Ishi Tib.
Tibrin circles the yellow star Cal and has one barren moon called Plah. The planet has no seasons and
ocean currents evenly distribute warm water, which creates a temperate zone covering most of the planet's
surface. The only land masses on Tibrin are protruding coral reefs and sand bars, where the ecologically-
minded Ishi Tib have constructed their cities. Ishi Tib live in communal "schools" ranging from a few
hundred to more than 10,000 individuals, and their organizational skills are prized by galactic corporations
who often hire Ishi Tib as managers. Indiginous animal life includes the Tibrin kelp-gnat. Doctor Kanjil
Mang, an Ishi Tib anthropologist from the University of Tibrin, has recently been studying the Ugnaught
society in Bespin's Cloud City. [GG4, GG2, POT]

Tieos
The location of an Imperial base. [SWS]

Tierfon
Located in the outer Sumitra sector, Tierfon is the site of a Rebel starfighter outpost buried 250 meters into
a rock cliff. Tierfon is a relatively small base, housing only eight X-wing fighters and 158 pilots, troops,
and support staff. Prior to the Battle of Yavin, Wes Janson and Jek Porkins served as pilot-trainees in the
Tierfon Yellow Aces. While on a mission to ambush an Imperial freighter, Janson was forced to shoot
down fellow pilot Kissek Doran so their ambush wouldn't be spoiled. [SWS, XWWS]

Timora
Contains the city of Tadarc. The spectacularly beautiful sunpetal flowers are grown on Timora. [SWAJ]

Tingel Arm
A section of the Corporate Sector, where most of the fighting with the Trianii colony worlds occurred.
[SWAJ]

Tinn system
The Tinn system, located at the border to the Outer Rim, contains seven planets orbiting a double star. The
only settlement in the system is a domed city on the moon called Echnos, which orbits Tinn VI. [SWAJ]

Tinn VI
An enormous gas giant in the Tinn system composed of hydrogen, nitrogen, and ammonium. Tinn VI
generates a powerful negative magnetic field, which extends its shadow into hyperspace and can strip all
passing ships of their magnetic bottle shielding -- forcing them into realspace and leaving them stranded in
the Tinn system until they can effect repairs. The planet is orbited by six moons, labeled A through F, and
the domed city of Echnos is located on Tinn VI-D. Consequently, the moon itself is often called Echnos.
[SWAJ]

Tinn VI-D
(see Echnos)

Tinnel IV
Located in the Quanta sector, Tinnel IV contains the city of Val Denn, where the private estate of Moff
Jerjerrod was located. Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, Jerjerrod's personal vault was looted by the
infamous thief called the Tombat, who burgled several of the Moff's priceless artworks. [SWAJ]

Tion Hegemony
A group of backwater systems in the Outer Rim, on the fringes of Imperial space. Due to the Tion's
remoteness the Empire does not bother with direct control, and as a result it is a haven for smugglers, con-
artists, and other petty and unsuccessful crooks. Common smuggling cargoes include chak-root and R'alla
mineral water. Planets in the isolated Tion, which unsuccessfully struggles to keep up with the rest of
galactic society, include Saheelindeel, Brigia, Rudrig, and Dellalt. [HSLL, FP]

Tiragga
The Rebel Alliance had a small outpost located on Tiragga's second moon, which became infected with the
deadly Direllian Plague. [SWAJ]

Tirsa
An industrial planet home to the Tirsa Wargear armaments corporation, which manufactures the Leviathan
submersible carrier. [SWAJ]

Tiss'sharl
The homeworld of the bipedal reptiloids called Tiss'shar. The assassin and Corporate Sector bodyguard
Uul-Rha-Shan was a native of Tiss'sharl. [CSSB]

Tizon
Located in the Koornacht Cluster, Zhina is one of the primary worlds of the alien Yevethan species and is a
member of the Duskhan League. During the Battle of N'zoth, the New Republic also attacked Wakiza,
Tizon, Z'fell, and Tholaz. [SOL, TT]

Todirium
The third planet in the system of the same name, Todirium is a bleak industrial colony specializing in iron
mining and durasteel refining. The planetwide mining operations are coordinated by an intricate corporate
computer system. Approximately four years after the Battle of Endor, Warlord Zsinj's corvette Night
Caller was assigned to visit a number of unaligned rimward planetary systems and refueling rendezvous
points located just outside of New Republic territory. The schedule included Viamarr Four, Xartun, Belthu,
Em-Two-Three-Nine-Eight, Todirium, Obinipor, and Femion. When the members of Wraith Squadron
captured the Night Caller and arrived at Todirium, the corporate chief offered them the latest load of
refined alloys stored in the surface warehouses. After unloading a network of spy satellites to record the
ensuing events for Warlord Zsinj, the Night Caller jumped out of the system and the Wraiths (posing as
Rogue Squadron to mislead Zsinj) flew to Todirium in their X-wings to hit the warehousing district. After
passing over a number of residential compounds, dirt roads, canals, and fields of blue-green crops, the
Wraiths were attacked by a defensive force of ULAVs, or Ultra-Light Assault Vehicles. The Wraiths
eliminated the ULAVs and destroyed the warehouse. [XWWS]

Togoria
Togoria, a warm world of grassy plains, rolling hills, mountains, lakes, and forests, is the homeworld of the
feline Togorians. The planet has a slightly less-than-standard gravity, vivid blue-green skies, and a local
week lasting ten days. It is circled by two tiny moons and orbits the blue-white star Thanos. Togorians are
a proud species who take their oaths very seriously. They have near-complete separation between the
sexes, with the males and females only seeing each other a few days each year for mating purposes. The
males spend the remainder of their time nomadically wandering the plains with domesticated flying lizards
called mosgoths, used as riding mounts. Similar flying reptiles known as liphons are dangerous predators,
but the Togorian's mosgoths help keep them at bay. There are no birds on the planet, only small flying
lizards. The females spend their time in the cities, tending animals such as the bist and etelo and
maintaining their society's solar technology, all of which they developed. The government is headed by the
Margrave of Togoria, a hereditary office always held by male descendants. The Margrave's closest female
relative, living in the capital city of Caross, rules over the cities and the day-to-day activities of their
females and young children. Togorian technology is still relatively low-tech, although the females have
proven to be an attractive market for personal technology and Togoria's vast mineral resources have yet to
be tapped. Ten years prior to the Battle of Yavin, Han Solo and Bria Tharen came to Togoria to attend the
wedding of their Togorian friends Muuurgh and Mrrov. Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, Talon
Karrde brought a female Togorian into his organization named H'sishi. [GG4, PS, SOTP]

Tokmia
Based on instructions from Darth Vader, a group of Imperial probe droids was recalibrated to search for
Rebels on Allyuen, Tokmia, and Hoth. [ESBR]

Ton-Falk
The site of the Battle of Ton-Falk. During this battle, two Imperial frigates and a Dreadnaught were
destroyed due to insufficient TIE fighter protection. Analysis of this battle led to the development of the
KDY Escort Carrier. [TSC]

Toola
Toola is a glacier-covered, bitterly cold world orbiting far from the purple star Kaelta. It is home to the
primitive alien race called Whipids, who delight in hunting the indigenous caraboose, furry mastmots (also
called motmots), seagoing arabores, flying snow demons, Sea Hogs, and Ice Puppies. Toola has only a
brief growing season during the summer months when grasses appear to join the purple lichens on the
plains. Whipids have only the most primitive technology and live in loose nomadic tribes led by the best
hunter, called the Spearmaster. Numerous mining camps are scattered across the planet's surface. The only
significant export from Toola is ice for water-scarce planets, and Whipids can be found in the galaxy acting
as trackers and mercenaries. Notable Whipids include J'Quille, one of Jabba the Hutt's hunters, and Lady
Valarian, owner of the Lucky Despot hotel on Tatooine. Prior to the Battle of Hoth, the bounty hunter
Dengar came to Toola and made contact with a Rebel agent, hoping to join the Alliance and find Han Solo.
Four years after the Battle of Endor, Luke Skywalker traveled to Toola to inspect the ruined home of a slain
Jedi Master, who had once been the curator of Jedi records on Coruscant. [COPL, GG4, TFJP, TBH]

To-phalion Base
To-phalion Base, possibly in the Iast system, was a secret Imperial research facility built into the hollowed-
out interior of a large asteroid. Formerly used as a mining operation, the asteroid later housed a hangar bay
and laboratories for the Vorknkx Project, which developed an experimental cloaking device following the
Battle of Hoth. The base was surrounded by eight smaller asteroids -- four with anti-warhead defense
batteries and four with turbolasers. Just prior to the Battle of Endor, the renegade Admiral Zaarin attacked
To-phalion and Grand Admiral Thrawn was dispatched to stop him. Zaarin succeeded in stealing the
corvette Vorknkx, containing the prototype cloak, and escaping into the Unknown Regions, though he was
tracked and soon eliminated by Thrawn. [TSC]

Toprawa
Primarily a human-occupied world, Toprawa used to be one of the planets that housed groups of Antarian
Rangers, an order founded centuries ago to assist the Jedi Knights (similar to Freedom's Sons). The
Rangers commonly worked as spies and soldiers and were considered experts in any environment or
terrain. Force-sensitivity was not uncommon among their members due to intermarrying between the
Rangers and the Jedi. Most of the Antarian Rangers on Toprawa were killed during Clone Wars and the
Jedi purge, and the last of them were killed during the brutal Imperial reprisal following Operation
Skyhook. After the Rebel Alliance stole the Death Star plans, they were delivered to the Toprawa Relay
Station and combined with other information captured on Danuta. The rebels on Toprawa then beamed the
complete plans to Princess Leia's ship, the Tantive IV, in the famous transfer known as Operaton Skyhook.
Later, as punishment for helping the Alliance, the people of Toprawa were forced into a pre-industrial state
by the Empire. The Imperial reprisal destroyed Toprawa's military and most of its cities, forcing the natives
to live in the wilderness and rely on campfires and bantha-drawn carts as their highest form of technology.
Loyal Imperial forces began to live in shining, illuminated citadels out of reach of the lowly Toprawans.
Periodically, stormtroopers would ride a grain cart into village squares and watch as the peasants crawled
forward on their stomachs, wailing lamentations over the Emperor's death at Endor. Grain was only given
to those whose penance seemed the most sincere in the eyes of the observing Imperials. Some three years
after the Battle of Endor, Imperial Intelligence agent Kirtan Loor spent a week on Toprawa after being
ordered back from a stay on Borleias. Wraith Squadron pilot Tyria Sarkin was a native of Toprawa and was
a former member of the Antarian Rangers. The Coruscant crew chief who overhauled the Millennium
Falcon twelve years after the Battle of Endor used to work on Corellian freighters on Toprawa. [SWR, DS,
XWRS, BTS, DFSFE, XWWS]

Torranix sector
Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, the New Republic astrographic survey ship Astrolabe was diverted
from the Torranix sector to Doornik-1142 by General Etahn A'baht, who was hoping to get an updated
survey of the Koornacht Cluster for military intelligence purposes. [BTS]

Trade Spine
Also known as the Corellian Trade Spine, the Spine is located near the Ison Corridor and scattered
throughout with Duros maintenance depots. Bespin Motors has been highly successful in selling their
cloud cars to the urbanized and overpopulated industry worlds along the Trade Spine. Admiral Daala lay in
wait for targets at a hyperspace node on the far end of the Spine, where ships bound for Anoat or Bespin
would have to drop into realspace to recalibrate their navigation instruments. [LC, DA, GG2]

Tragan sector
The territory of Imperial Moff Brinkan. Brinkan placed a bounty on Ral Shawgrim, a former Alliance
technician, when Shawgrim did not deliver a set of stolen X-wing plans. [SWAJ]

Trallan
Captain Trobba, first officer of the New Republic cruiser Indomitable, is a native of Trallan. [TT]
Tralus
One of the five habitable planets in the Corellian system, Tralus is a blue, white and green world the same
size as its sister planet Talus, and both orbit a common center of gravity (where Centerpoint Station is
located). Together they are referred to as the Double Worlds, and both are ruled by the elected Federation
of the Double Worlds, or Fed-Dub. Beneath the surface of Tralus is a planetary repulsor, which was used in
ancient times to move the planet into its current orbit from an unknown location. Years ago, Han Solo's
grandmother gave birth to his father and aunt during a pirate raid on Tralus. Ten years before the Battle of
Yavin, after Han's escape from Ylesia, he sold the stolen ship Talisman to Toryl the Duros at Truthful
Toryl's Used Spaceship Lot. Five years later, Solo and his new acquaintance Chewbacca smuggled a load
of contraband from Coruscant to Tralus. Fourteen years after the Battle of Endor, when a flare-up in
Centerpoint Station caused many deaths, the survivors were relocated to Talus and Tralus. When word
spread of the incident, two rebellions against Fed-Dub occurred on Tralus. A group of starfighters, possibly
representing one of the Tralus rebellions, subsequently flew to Centerpoint and claimed the station for
themselves, until chased off by a Bakuran task force. [AAC, AAS, SAC, PS, HG]

Trammis III
Trammis III is famous as the home of the gigantic reptiloids sometimes called dinosaurs. The inhabitants
of the planet speak Trammic, which is related to the Old High Trammic spoken by the Toka of the Rafa
system. [LCMH]

Tran Mariel
The Yavinian runyip of Yavin 4 is named for a similar stubborn herbivore found on Tran Mariel. [GG2]

Trandosha
Trandosha (sometimes called Dosha) is the homeworld of the warlike, reptilian Trandoshan species.
Trandoshans shed their skin, regenerate lost limbs, are well-adapted to water conditions, and can see in the
infrared range. They have a difficult time manipulating delicate objects with their relatively clumsy clawed
hands. Trandoshans prize anger and bloodlust, bear long grudges, and hate all lesser life forms. It is
instinctive for firstborn Trandoshans to kill and eat their younger offspring as soon as they hatch from their
egg-sacs. Many Trandoshans maintain memory-bone chambers containing ritual candles and memento
trophy bones from their triumphant earlier hunts -- including the tiny newborn bones of their spawn-
brothers who hatched a few minutes too late. All Trandoshans worship the Scorekeeper, a female deity
who awards jagannath points to hunters based on their success or failure. When hunters wish it, they return
to their homeworld and mate with a convenient clutch mother; they do not form lasting relationships.
Young Trandoshans hatch from eggs. The planet is controlled by a strict class system and joined the
Empire soon after Palpatine's rise -- a Trandoshan official convinced the Imperials to enslave the
neighboring Wookiees as laborers. Points of interest on the planet include the Lorpfan deserts. Lanish
Ran, an undercover Alliance agent, once posed as an Imperial technician in a repair facility located on
Banir Avenue in the Trandoshan city of Forak. For decades, the Trandoshan Cradossk headed the Bounty
Hunters Guild until his death just after the Battle of Yavin at the hands of his son, the famed bounty hunter
Bossk. After the capture of Coruscant, a Trandoshan named Portha was made a member of Rogue
Squadron's security squad. [ESB, SWAJ, TBH, XWKT, MA, DFRA]

Trax sector
The Trax sector, located in the Outer Rim, contains the planets Deysum III and Uogo'cor, and the Trax Tube
-- a major Outer Rim shipping lane. Alliance supply purchaser Redda Macrebe works throughout the Trax
Tube systems. [SWAJ]

Trebela
A major Rebel network was exposed in Trebela's capital city by Imperial Governor Kraxith. Surprisingly,
most of the Rebel groups discovered had been working independently and were not aware of the others'
activities. [SWS]
Trian
The homeworld of the feline Trianii species, located far from the disputed border between the Corporate
Sector and the Trianii colony worlds. The Trianii Ranger Atuarre was born on this world. [CSSB]

Trif
Lieutenant Davith Sconn spent twenty-four years in the Imperial Navy and once spent forty days' forced
leave on Trif. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, Sconn helped Chief of State Leia Organa Solo by
providing information on the planet N'zoth. [SOL]

Triitus system
Located at the edge of the Corva sector in the Outer Rim, the Triitus system's second planet is Tuulab.
[SWAJ]

Triton
When Han Solo's tauntaun froze to death in a Hoth blizzard, he commented that it was "deader than a
Triton moon." [ESBN]

Trogan
Trogan, in the system of the same name, features the Whistler's Whirlpool tapcafe on the coast of its most
densely-populated continent. At the center of the Whirlpool is the Drinking Cup, a natural rock bowl which
violently fills with seawater six times a day due to Trogan's strong tides. The Whirlpool was a
disappointing failure as a tourist attraction and has since been abandoned. Talon Karrde arranged a
smugglers' meeting at the Whirlpool, which was attacked by bribed soldiers from the nearby Imperial
garrison. [DFR, LC]

Tro'Har
The planet Tro'Har is located in the Elrood sector, near the planet Coyn. [SWAJ]

Trosh
Trosh is a planet where the Empire enslaved the native population, claiming only to be "protecting the
rights" of its inhabitants. [POT]

Trulalis system
The Trulalis system, located just one hour's hyperspace travel from Najiba, contains the planets Issor,
Cadezia, and Trulalis. [SWAJ]

Trulalis
Located in the system of the same name, Trulalis is a rich green planet of grasslands, forests and oceans.
Beneath a thick cloud layer, the unspoiled world is covered with windswept fields separated by stretches of
wilderness, and dotted with several small settlements. Trulalis has been set aside as a low-tech world by
the Issori, and most of its inhabitants shun all forms of higher technology -- using miniature banthas as
beasts of burden, for instance. Nestled within a steep mountain range is the gated community of Kovit, a
farming settlement dominated by a towering, buttressed theater of white limestone.

During the golden age of the Old Republic, Trulalis was a thriving cultural center boasting one of the finest
liberal arts schools in the galaxy. Today, however, its days of respected theater and drama have long
passed, and only a few scattered remnants testify to its former glory. Sometime before the Battle of Endor,
the Dark Jedi Adalric Brandl hired the smuggler Thaddeus Ross to bring him to Trulalis, Brandl's former
home. [SWAJ]

Tsoss Beacon
An automated beacon station located on a desolate planetoid in the Deep Galactic Core. The region is
inundated with deadly radioactive storms and solar flares, and the station itself was constructed by droids
and suicide crews. The last human personnel abandoned the station several years prior to the Battle of
Yavin. It was at Tsoss Beacon that Admiral Daala met with, and murdered, the remaining Imperial
warlords eight years after the Battle of Endor. [DS]

Tsyk
The homeworld of the Tsyklens, round, hairless creatures with smooth pale skin. Tsyklens possess large
eyes, seven tentacle-like fingers, and two opposable thumbs on each hand. [HG]

Tund
Located in the remote Tund system, this hidden world was home to the mysterious and ancient Sorcerers of
Tund. Many are not sure if "Tund" refers to a single system or to a cluster of stars. No one is sure what
species the sorcerers themselves were, since they were known to cover themselves in heavy gray robes.
Years ago Rokur Gepta, a snail-like Croke, infiltrated the Sorcerers of Tund and learned their secrets. He
then murdered his teachers and transformed the planet Tund from an attractive world of prairies, forests,
and jungles to a blasted, sterile wasteland. The deadly radiation was held back in some places by force
fields, so Gepta could land his ship on Tund safely. [LCMH, LCFW, LCSC]

Tungra sector
The Tungra sector, near the Bruanii and Javin sectors, was home to a deep-space Mugaari cargo loading
depot. The depot was completely destroyed by the Empire following the Battle of Hoth. [TSC]

Turkana
The planet Turkana is located in the Hadar sector, and has several moons. Prior to the Battle of Yavin, at
least five Star Destroyers on patrol near Turkana discovered the Alliance fleet in orbit around the world.
The Imperials engaged the Rebel fleet but suffered severe losses. Shocked by this development, Emperor
Palpatine ordered the implementation of Operation Strike Fear to crush the Rebellion. Later, Alliance pilot
Keyan Farlander flew his first mission near Turkana. [FP]

Tuulab
The second planet in the Triitus system of the Corva sector, Tuulab is a peaceful world of gentle plains,
blessed with abundant natural resources. It is home to a colony of 6000 people, who fled to Tuulab over
the years to escape persecution under the Empire's New Order. The rural Tuulabi colonists have no form of
organized government. The Gotal crimelord Mahk'khar recently built a 3-story palace on Tuulab, in an
uninhabited area on the west coast of the planet's northern continent. [SWAJ]

23 Mere
The starliner Star Morning, owned by the religious Fallanassi order, departed the planet Teyr and went to
Darepp. From there it traveled towards the Outer Rim, stopping at the colony worlds 23 Mere, Yisgga,
New Polokia, Fwiis, and Babbadod. [SOL]

Tyed Kant
Tyed Kant is home to the headquarters of two corporations that supply foodstuffs to the Empire -- Nebula
Consumables and Imperial Meats and Produce. [SWAJ]

Tynna
Tynna, homeworld of the otter-like Tynnans, is a resource-rich planet that has long been a member of the
galactic community. Corporations operating under the Old Republic developed Tynna's natural resources
but kept the planet's natural beauty intact. The fur-covered Tynnans have poor eyesight and a layer of fat
beneath their skin to protect them from the cold waters of their planet. Tynnan society is entirely state-run
-- all citizens have free access to housing, food, education, and other benefits. For thousands of years the
members of the Tynnan government have been selected by lottery. Since any citizen can be chosen to
serve, the pragmatic and sensible Tynnans always stay informed on important issues. Because of their
planet's natural wealth, Tynnans make up one of the most affluent societies in the galaxy. They love the
water, and can often be seen traveling the galaxy as tourists. Recently the Empire has been trying to
increase their control over the planet to generate greater revenue. Odumin, the Corporate Sector Authority
territorial manager (also known as Spray the skip-tracer), was a native of Tynna, and his success has
inspired other Tynnans to take more active roles in galactic affairs. [HSR, CSSB]

Tyrius system
The Tyrius system contains the planet Rodia, which is the homeworld of the alien species known as
Rodians. [GG4]

Udine system
The asteroid-packed Udine system is located next to the region of space called Keller's Void. Occasionally
pirates have been known to bring asteroids from the Udine system and place them in the Void, to create
mass shadows and force unsuspecting ships from hyperspace. [SWAJ]

Ukio
Ukio, in the Abrion sector and the Ukio system, is one of the top five food-producing planets in the New
Republic and was the target of an attack by Grand Admiral Thrawn. A spokesman for the Ukian Overliege
surrendered the planet to the Empire after Thrawn seemingly demonstrated the ability to fire directly
through planetary shields. The smuggler Samuel Tomas Gillespee bought a plot of land on Ukio, which he
lost when the Empire took control of the planet. [LC]

Umgul
A cool, mist-covered world in the same system as Dargul, Umgul is known as a center for gambling and
sports attractions. The planet's spaceport is located in Umgul City, built on the limestone banks of a wide
river that attracts numerous pleasure barges. The city is covered with signs and attractions for visitors,
though cheating in the gambling establishments is punishable by death. Tourists primarily visit Umgul to
see the famous Umgullian blob races, held in an arena carved from rock and ringed with fans to blow away
the thick fog. The protoplasmic blobs, bred for racing, are kept in stables and monitored by the Umgullian
Racing Commission for any signs of illegal enhancement. Lando Calrissian visited Umgul while searching
for a possible Jedi candidate. [JS]

Uogo'cor
Located in the Trax sector near the Trax Tube, a major Outer Rim shipping lane. Outlaw stations on
Uogo'cor will service any ship, including those belonging to pirates and wanted criminals. [SWAJ]

Urdur
A hideout world for Doc's band of outlaw-techs. Urdur, with its biting-cold winds, was the planet where
Han Solo and his companions rested following their escape from Mytus VII. [HSSE]

Ut
A planet in the Hapes cluster. Ut sent a woman to sing a beautiful song as part of a series of gifts from
Hapes to the New Republic. [COPL]

Utharis
Utharis is a world inhabited by the Tarrack, and is located over 200 light years from the Koornacht Cluster.
Its main city is the full-service port called Taldaak Station. The New Republic Defense Fleet operates a
tiny listening post in Taldaak next to an abandoned Imperial fighter base, and moving slidewalks transport
pedestrians along the city streets. Planetary communications are handled by the Utharis GridLink, which
offers access to two local newsgrids: Eye-On-U and Tarrack Today! The Creed, a popular Tarrack cult, is
based around the twin principles of joy and service, and its members bear tattoos on their foreheads and
cheeks. Animal life on the planet includes the jack-a-dale and the black-winged touret. Approximately
thirteen years after the Battle of Endor, Luke Skywalker and Akanah flew their ship Mud Sloth from Atzerri
to Utharis, intending to eventually reach J't'p'tan in the Koornacht Cluster. When they arrived, they were
forced to make repairs to their vessel, and Luke visited the New Republic listening post to get information
on unfolding events in Koornacht. [SOL, TT]

Uvena system
The Uvena system contains a group of planets ruled by the alien species called Shistavanen Wolfmen. The
Wolfmen are renowned for their hunting and tracking skills, and many are employed by the Empire as
scouts. Riv Shiel, a former Shistavanen member of the Alliance's famed Rogue Squadron, was a native of
Uvena III. Wolfmen frequently like to devour their prey while it is still living. [MTS, XWRS, YJK2]

Vagran
Talon Karrde's smuggling gang brought three boosted Skipray blastboats from the planet Vagran. [DFR]

Vallusk Cluster
Admiral Ackbar attacked the Imperial fleet at the Vallusk Cluster, to create a diversion for the Alliance
force evacuating their Yavin 4 base. [CSW]

Valrar
Located in the Glythe sector, Valrar is the location of an Imperial base. Khabarakh the Noghri was
scheduled to be reassigned to this base following his return from the failed commando mission on
Kashyyyk. Valrar was also the reported port of origin for Talon Karrde's ship when his group visited
Bilbringi, and was the destination of the Star Galleon Draklor after unloading Joruus C'baoth on Wayland.
[DFR, LC]

Varl
Varl, the original homeworld of the Hutts, is a barren planet orbiting the white dwarf Ardos. Cyax is the
brightest star that can be seen in Varl's night sky, and it features prominently in early Hutt legend.
According to other Hutt legends, the planet Varl was once a beautiful world of green forests circling the
twin stars Ardos and Evona. Evona was drawn into a black hole, causing complete destruction of many
planets in the system, the ruin of Varl, and the transformation of Ardos into a white dwarf. Due to the
impossibilities in this legend, the most plausible explanation for the devastation of Varl is that the Hutts
destroyed it themselves in an ancient civil war. The Hutts have since relocated to Nal Hutta in the Y'Toub
system. [GG4, DESB]

Varn
An aquatic planet, Varn is the subject of the holofeature Varn, World of Water. Aquatic life on the planet
includes large lossors and packs of cheeb, while Varn's population of amphiboid fishers and ocean farmers
inhabit its archipelagoes. Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, Lando Calrissian opened an underwater
ore mining operation on Varn. Tourists came to visit one of the mining complexes, the Deep Pockets,
which was also equipped with a casino and underwater observation gallery. Lando tried to hire mercenaries
to protect his ore shipments when pirate activity became too intense. [HSR, SOTP]
Varonat
Located in the backwater Ison Corridor, Varonat is an isolated, sparsely-populated world of jungles, plains,
and mountains. A few thousand colonists live in two main settlements: Tropis-on-Varonat among the pale
yellow trees of the Great Jungle, and Edgefields-on-Varonat on the wide plains at the jungle's edge. About
50,000 Morodins -- intelligent, fifteen meter-long lizard-slugs -- inhabit the Great Jungle. The Morodins'
bodies produce a nutrient slime that, when spread over crops, encourages growth and produces new strains
of plant life. Morodins leave their slime trails in a complex, maze-like pattern.

One thousand years before the formation of the Old Republic, a group of Morodins arrived on Varonat to
start an agricultural colony. They transformed a vast section of plains into the Great Jungle, and used
immense organic starships to transport food back to their home planet. When an ecological disaster befell
their homeworld, the Morodins on Varonat were stranded and forgotten. 250 years ago, Adarian Tropis and
a group his idealistic followers left Salliche to colonize Varonat. They planted their crops in the Great
Jungle, but when the Morodins began leaving slime trails over the crops the colonists drove the creatures
off as pests. After the Battle of Endor, a Krish named Gamgalon arrived in Tropis-on-Varonat and began
running private Morodin-hunting safaris. These safaris were actually a cover for the harvesting of Yagaran
aleudrupe plants, whose berries (when fertilized by Morodin nutrient slime) act as a catalyst for boosting
blaster firepower -- much like the spin-sealed tibanna gas of Bespin. The local Imperial governor allowed
the illegal safaris to continue since Gamgalon provided him with a share of the profits. Mara Jade, under
the name Celina Marniss, worked as hyperdrive mechanic in Gamgalon's organization before joining up
with the smuggler Talon Karrde in an adventure on Varonat. [SWAJ]

Varvenna sector
The famous chef Porcellus once worked for the Imperial official Yndis Mylore, governor of Bryexx and
Moff of the Varvenna sector. During his tenure Porcellus served meals for the Emperor himself, but he was
made a slave to Jabba the Hutt approximately one year prior to the Battle of Yavin. [TFJP]

Vedis IV
The smuggler Lu Esi, an associate of Toob Ancher, was killed when he crashed his freighter over Vedis IV
while being pursued by sector authorities. When Toob Ancher felt he was about to die, he left Socorro to
finish his life on Vedis IV, though he would not face death until a later adventure on the planet Redcap.
[SWAJ]

Velcar Free Commerce Zone

The Velcar Free Commerce Zone (FCZ), named for the Velcar sector in which it is located, is a strip of
corporate-run systems within the Pentastar Alignment. The FCZ, ruled by Commerce Master
Commissioner Gregor Raquoran, contains many resource-rich worlds that are exploited by powerful
Imperial corporates. The corporates are often allowed to bypass environmental and safety rules, and the
primitive alien species found on the planets are often forced to toil in mines or other hazardous industrial
projects. Worlds within the FCZ include Capza, Entralla, and Bextar. [SWAJ]

Velga Prime
Velga Prime is a luxury casino moon catering to the wealthy. Han Solo visited the moon with Xaverri
approximately four years before the Battle of Yavin. Velga is considered one of the most opulent gaming
planetoids in the galaxy. [HG]

Vellakiya system
The Vellakiya system is located in the Mid-Rim, and its third planet is Venaari. [SWAJ]

Velser's Ring
A band of asteroids occupying the third-planet position within the Bespin system. The Ring is believed to
be the debris of an unstable gas giant which exploded many millennia ago. Most of the asteroids are
composed of frozen gasses and liquids, and the entire Ring can refract light in a rainbow pattern if seen
from the proper angle. Ugnaught teams frequently visit the Ring to obtain valuable raw materials for
Bespin's Cloud City. [GG2]

Venaari
The third planet in the Vellakiya system, the Mid-Rim world of Venaari is covered with forests, plains, and
mountains. The Imperial presence on Venaari has increased since the Battle of Endor, in order to provide
greater security for the mysterious Project Orrad, being researched in an underground laboratory. The
planet is run by Imperial Governor Vaerganth, who rules from the capital city of Ven-Kav. The local
Imperial military is headed by Major Gaevril Daraada. Points of interest in Ven-Kav include the Binary
Bar, Herak Square, and the Ven-Kavi Starport, the largest spaceport on the planet. The Venaari Enterprises
corporation produces the Venaari Strike Speeder for Imperial use. Around two billion humans inhabit the
planet.

Since the Empire's recent buildup on Venaari, the New Republic has established a fledgling resistance cell.
A New Republic operative, Shandria L'hnnar, managed to steal the plans to Project Orrad and elude the
pursuing Imperials with the help of the thief Sienn Sconn. Since the Star Destroyer Retaliator was busy
engaging terrorist forces in the Southern Reach, Daraada ordered the bounty hunter Pentix Graphyt to stop
the pair. He failed, and L'hnnar escaped off-planet with her information. [SWAJ]

Venjagga system
The Venjagga system is located at the edge of the Galactic Core, only hours away from the Mirit and Pyria
systems. The system contains the planet Jagga-Two, site of a small Imperial base that manufactures
concussion missiles and supplies the Imperial Star Destroyer-II Eviscerator. The seventh planet in the
system is a gas giant. Some three years after the Battle of Endor, the Alliance staged a feint in the Venjagga
system to cover their simultaneous assault on Borleias in the Pyria system. [XWRS]

Vento system
The location of an ancient Republic shipyard. Nearly four thousand years ago during the Sith War, the
fallen Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma gained control of Coruscant's war room during his attack on the capital world.
Qel-Droma told the war room's commander to order all Republic ships to jump to identical coordinates in
the Vento system, which would have resulted in a massive collision and the destruction of the fleet.
Fortunately, he was stopped before the order could be carried out. [TSW]

Venzeiia 2 Prime
A Rebel spy, fleeing aboard a YT-1300 freighter, was tracked to a salvage yard near Venzeiia 2 Prime. A
TIE Defender was dispatched to capture the freighter while the Star Destroyer Glory captured the salvage
yard's space station, for daring to harbor a fugitive from the Empire. [TSC]

Verdanth
Prior to the Battle of Hoth, the Alliance sent the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO to the jungle planet Verdanth to
investigate a crashed Imperial messenger drone. The drone was actually a trap set by Darth Vader, who
planned to use a cybernetic Force link to read the minds of any Rebels investigating the drone and possibly
learn the location of their new Hoth base. [CSW]

Vergesso Asteroids
The Vergesso Asteroids are located in the Lybeya system of the Bajic sector in the Outer Rim, a territory
controlled by Grand Moff Kintaro. One of the larger asteroids contains a hidden shipyard operated by the
Tenloss Syndcate, which the Rebel Alliance once used as a base. This moon-sized asteroid is composed of
nickel-iron and had a surface pockmarked with craters due to the many spinning rocks in the belt. Some
time after the Battle of Hoth, Prince Xizor gave the coordinates of the hidden base to Darth Vader in order
to curry favor with the Emperor and to harm his business rivals at Tenloss. The Super Star Destroyer
Executor, accompanied by one Imperial Star Destroyer and two Victory Star Destroyers, were sent into the
Vergesso Asteroids and destroyed hundreds of Rebel ships, seriously harming the Alliance just prior to the
critical Battle of Endor. [SOTE]

Vergill
A planet in the Hapes Cluster. The inhabitants of Vergill have long been rivals with the water-breathers of
the planet Maires. Nineteen years after the Battle of Endor, the Vergills began an undersea ditanium mining
operation on the planet Hapes, next to the newly-opened Mairan consulate. The Mairans filed an official
protest against the noise and mining debris stirred up by the Vergills’ actions, but in reality they had
deliberately placed their consulate near the richest vein of ditanium in order to spark a confrontation.
[YJK]

Veron
A planet possibly in the Senex sector. The uncommitted ex-governor of Veron took a "vacation" to attend a
meeting on Belsavis with Roganda Ismaren. [COTJ]

Vexta Belt
Pirates located in the Vexta Belt attacked Delephran shipping for many years, until they were wiped out by
the Delephran militia during their "Piracy Scouring." Former Alliance operative Colonel Andrephan
Stormcaller participated in this campaign during his early career. [SWAJ]

Viamarr Four
Viamarr-4 is an agricultural colony with a higher than standard gravity. Its primary export is Viamarr
Blackroot, a subterranean black fungus prized as a nutritious food source whose tubers can grow to more
than one kilometer in diameter. The planetary capital, Velery, is situated on the largest southern-
hemisphere continent and has a population of 100,000 settlers. Velery House is main governmental
building in the capital, and the planet has a few Z-95 Headhunters to act as an air defense force. The
forests around Velery contain many small villages made up of primitive wooden buildings. Approximately
four years after the Battle of Endor, Warlord Zsinj's corvette Night Caller was assigned to visit a number of
unaligned rimward planetary systems and refueling rendezvous points located just outside of New Republic
territory. The schedule included Viamarr Four, Xartun, Belthu, Em-Two-Three-Nine-Eight, Todirium,
Obinipor, and Femion. When the members of Wraith Squadron captured the Night Caller and arrived at
Viamarr-4, Governor Watesk agreed to become a signatory to Zsinj's empire and offered to give supplies
and a small island (measuring fifty by thirty kilometers) in exchange for Zsinj's protection. [XWWS]

Vinnax system
Points of interest in the Vinnax system include the blinding creation-swirl of the system's counter-vacuum.
Boba Fett visited the system some time before the Battle of Yavin. [MA]

Vinsoth
The planet Vinsoth is covered by vast plains and is home to the unusual-looking aliens called the Chevin.
The Chevin are hunter-gatherers who follow the herds of backshin as they travel the plains, and have
enslaved a native humanoid race also called Chevins. Ephant Mon, a gunrunner who spent time in Jabba
the Hutt's court, was a native of Vinsoth. After a life-changing encounter with Luke Skywalker in Jabba's
dungeon, Ephant Mon returned to his home planet and founded a new religious sect that worshipped nature
and the Force, though he still ran some scams on the side to finance his sect's temple. [MTS, TFJP]

Vinzen Neela 5
After the Battle of Hoth, the Empire was transferring a cargo of prototype TIE Defenders to an escort
carrier at a rendezvous near Vinzen Neela 5. The Rebel Alliance made an unsuccessful attack on this
transfer operation. [TSC]
Virgillia?
The possible homeworld of the Virgillians. Captain Tessa Manchisco was a Virgillian who fought in the
Virgillian Civil War. Her crew consisted of humans and one Duro. [TAB]

Viridia system
Han Solo used to make smuggling runs to the Viridia system. He learned some of their port access codes,
but these codes were later changed by the Imperials. [COPL]

Vizcarra
An Imperial prison planet. The smuggler Tait Ransom was scheduled to be sent to Vizcarra, after he was
arrested for weapons smuggling on Omman. [SWAJ]

Vjun
The planet Vjun contains Bast Castle, a remote, heavily-defended structure built by Darth Vader as his
private refuge. It was later the headquarters of Darkside Executor Sedriss and the Emperor's elite force of
Dark Jedi. The planet is lashed with acidic, burning rain, and no plant life can survive on its bleak surface.
Kam Solusar served as a Darkside warrior on Vjun before Luke Skywalker turned him to the light side on
Nespis VIII, six years after the Battle of Endor. Soon after Solusar's conversion, three Ysanna prisoners
from Ossus were taken to Vjun to serve as raw material in creating new clone bodies for Palpatine. The
Ysanna were frozen in carbonite to await the future construction of a clone laboratory in Bast Castle, but
Luke Skywalker and his Jedi trainees managed to storm the castle and defeat the Emperor's men. [DE2,
EE]

Vladet
Located in the Rachuk sector and system, Vladet is a blue and green world dotted with islands and receives
a great deal of rainfall. The Empire established a base in the lush jungle on Vladet's Grand Isle to
discourage piracy in the local systems, and the garrison became the center of Imperial control for the
Rachuk sector. Built in the crater of an extinct volcano, the base was ringed by two steep mountain ranges
on the west and east. To the south the wall had mostly broken down and the base extended out of the crater
to the edges of the bay. Geothermal generators powered the energy shield and twin ion cannons, while a
comfortable mansion housed the command staff, including Admiral Devlia. Some three years after the
Battle of Endor, an Alliance force including members of Rogue Squadron attacked the Vladet headquarters
in reprisal for an Imperial raid on Talasea. The Alliance did not wish to capture Vladet, but intended to
cripple the base so the Empire would be forced to allocate more forces to its defense. Several Y-wing
squadrons blew out the northern wall of the crater, allowing starfighters to fly in under the base's defensive
shield. The Alliance leveled the base in the successful raid, and Rogue Squadron pilot Corran Horn helped
destroy a Lancer-class frigate on their way out. Later, during Rogue Squadron's' undercover mission to
Coruscant, Wedge Antilles posed as Colonel Antar Roat, an Imperial pilot who had been badly injured
during the battle of Vladet. [XWRS, XWWG]

Vob
A gas giant famous for its perpetual atmospheric storms. [GG2]

Vobos
Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, after leaving the planet Teyr, Luke Skywalker briefly monitored the
ship Star Hummer, belonging to Joa Pqis and registered on both Tammuz-an and Vobos. [SOL]

Vodran
Vodran, covered with swamps and thick jungles, is the homeworld to the tough alien species also known as
Vodrans, who struggle for survival against the world's huge and deadly predators. Rebel Alliance
Lieutenant Xenon Nnaksta, an operator of the Greel Wood Logging Corporation in the Pii system, is a
native of Vodran. Nnaksta's parents were killed years ago in the Thruncon Insurrection, a catastrophe in
which many Vodran cities were destroyed. The young Vodran then spent time living alone on the streets, in
the rural areas of the Kudor province. The planet is also home to the galactic pest known as the dianoga or
"garbage squid." This seven-tentacled creature has one eyestalk and has evolved a transparent camouflage
to protect it from predators. These animals can be now found feeding on garbage virtually everywhere in
the galaxy, and Luke Skywalker was attacked and nearly killed by one in the Death Star's trash compactor.

Vogel 7
The site of an Imperial Naval Academy where TIE pilot Ranulf Trommer was raised. An unnamed colonel
who interrogated Garik "Face" Loran after an fighting incident on Coruscant was also trained at Vogel
Seven. [ROC, XWIF]

Vondarc system
The smuggler Dannen Lifehold brought a Rebel group from Rafft to a rendezvous with a cargo frigate in
the Vondarc system. It was here, just prior to the Battle of Yavin, that Lifehold joined the Alliance.
[SWAJ]

Vontor
The site of the Third Battle of Vontor, the final defeat of the historical tyrant Xim the Despot. During this
battle, Xim's orbital fortress and nearly all of his war-robots were vaporized. [HSLL]

Vortex
Vortex, the homeworld of the hollow-boned, winged Vors, is a blue and gray planet with a sharp axial tilt
causing sudden seasonal changes and severe windstorms. The Cathedral of Winds, the center of Vor
civilization, is an immense glassy structure designed to produce tones when Vortex's wind currents pass
over and through it. The Vors perform a beautiful concert of ethereal music by opening and closing orifices
in the building with their bodies. The Vors are an emotionless species, and tend to concentrate on larger
goals rather than on individuals. They refused to perform their music for off-worlders during the reign of
the Empire, and have only recently allowed New Republic and other dignitaries to attend these shows. All
recording is prohibited, and only one concert is performed each year. The Vors inhabit underground
dwellings during the storm season, which can be seen from above as small mounds arranged in rings in the
purple, vermilion, and tan grasses of the plains. During a visit to Vortex by Admiral Ackbar and Leia
Organa Solo, Ackbar's sabotaged B-wing crashed into and destroyed the centuries-old Cathedral of Winds
and killed at least 358 Vors. A different, more streamlined Cathedral was then constructed by the Vors to
replace the one destroyed in Ackbar's crash. [DA, COTF]

Vrassh
The planet Vrassh suffered a tragedy known as the Vrassh Slaughter in which many citizens were killed.
The instigators gained a great deal of land as a result of the act, and Vrassh custom demanded that they
share the land with the survivors' families. But neither the Pas'sic government or the New Republic insisted
that this custom be obeyed. One of Luke Skywalker's Jedi academy students was of the Vrassh. [SOTP]

Vulvarch
A planet located thirty-four light years from Teyr. Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, Luke Skywalker
discovered that the starliner Star Morning, belonging to the religious Fallanassi order, had been spending
the last few months in Farana, but had recently arrived at Vulvarch. [SOL]

Wakiza
Located in the Koornacht Cluster, Wakiza is one of the primary, large-population worlds of the alien
Yevethan species and is a member of the Duskhan League. It was the location of an orbital Imperial repair
yard, codenamed Black 8, serving the Empire's Black Sword Command. After the Battle of Endor, the
Empire retreated from the shipyards of Wakiza, Zhina and N'zoth, and the Yevetha were able to capture
several of their capital ships. The Black 8 shipyards were later moved away from Wakiza to a clandestine
location. During the Battle of N'zoth, the New Republic also attacked Wakiza, Tizon, Z'fell, and Tholaz.
[BTS, SOL, TT]

Walalla
Walalla is a New Republic member world located in the Seventh Security Zone. Under the Empire, Walalla
was brutally conquered and its alien inhabitants cruelly persecuted. Senator Tig Peramis represents Walalla
and the other worlds of the Seventh Security Zone in the New Republic. Twelve years after the Battle of
Endor, after Nil Spaar protested the treatment of his Yevethan delegation at the hands of Chief of State Leia
Organa Solo, Peramis submitted an Article of Withdrawal from the New Republic on behalf of Walalla.
Nara Deega, a Bith from Clak'dor VIII, was seated in his place on the Defense Council. Peramis later
passed on secret information regarding New Republic fleet movements to Nil Spaar on N'zoth, which
allowed the Yevetha to capture General Han Solo. [BTS, SOL]

Wann Tsir
During the Siege of Wann Tsir, following the Battle of Endor, Imperial commander Titus Klev discovered
an Alliance agent trying to bring down the shields. This action earned Klev commendations from Imperial
command. [DESB]

Waskiro
Bib Fortuna broadcast a false story about an ambush in the Ampuroon mining district of Waskiro in an
attempt to deceive a Nuffin freighter. [JTH]

Wayland
Wayland, a primitive green and blue world located about 350 light years from the planet Myrkr, is home to
Emperor Palpatine's private storehouse. The planet does not have an official designation, and "Wayland"
was believed to be the Emperor's personal code name for the world. Wayland's surface is covered with
dense, double-canopied forests and grassy plains. Mount Tantiss, located in Wayland's northern
hemisphere near the eastern edge of its main continent, is the hidden resting place for Palpatine's trophies,
his military treasures, and an operational cloning facility. Wayland's plant life includes thornbushes and
acid vines, while its animal life includes clawbirds, vine snakes, and six-legged nesting creatures. The
predators called garrals, attracted to repulsorlifts and used by the Empire as watchdogs, could either be
native to Wayland or have been brought to the planet by the Imperials.

Generations ago, human colonists settled on Wayland and immediately came into conflict with the planet's
two native species, the Psadans and the Myneyrshi. The four-armed, blue-crystalline Myneyrshi and the
lumpy, plated Psadans were driven from their land until the colonists' weapons began to fail them. When
the Empire arrived, the inhabitants were forced to construct the vast storehouse in Mount Tantiss, which is
considered a forbidden place by the natives. Palpatine appointed a Guardian to defend his storehouse,
though the Guardian was later defeated in battle by the mad Jedi clone Joruus C'baoth. C'baoth forced all
three of Wayland's species to live together in a city built against the southwest side of the mountain, where
they lived under his strict rule until C'baoth departed with Grand Admiral Thrawn. An Imperial garrison
under the command of Colonel Selid was then placed within the mountain, to help safeguard the cloning
operation that supplied Thrawn with a nearly-inexhaustible stock of trained soldiers.

The Mount Tantiss complex had only one entrance, located on the southwest side. The peak of the complex
consisted of an emergency shuttle hangar, the royal chambers, and the Emperor's throne room, containing a
twenty-meter hologram of the galaxy. The fully-functioning Spaarti cylinder cloning chamber sat inside a
vast natural cavern many stories high. A mammoth equipment column extended from the cavern's ceiling,
and was covered with pipes to nourish the thousands of Spaarti cylinders arranged on the main floor and
the surrounding balconies. A circular walkway, located ten stories up and accessible through twenty
separate doors, was connected to a work platform on the central column by four retractable bridges.
Thrawn had hundreds of ysalamiri transplanted to the cloning chamber to prevent the negative side effects
of the rapid pace of his clone growth. The mountain also contained the Emperor's treasure vaults, air
intakes on the mountain's surface, and power generators on the northeast side. A secondary maintenance
area was located ten kilometers north of the mountain. The cloning complex and most of the mountain
were destroyed when Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca sabotaged the central equipment column. After
they renounced their service to Grand Admiral Thrawn, many Noghri left their devastated homeworld of
Honoghr and settled on Wayland. One of their communities, the Mount Tantiss settlement, was built at the
base of the mountain and consisted of thirty houses surrounding a dukha clan building. Many Noghri
began "cleansing" the rubble of the Mount Tantiss complex, eradicating every last trace of the Emperor's
storehouse. Fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, Leia Organa Solo visited Wayland and encountered a
Devaronian who had retrieved a copy of the Caamas document from Mount Tantiss. [HTTE, LC, SOTP]

Weerden
Lord Torbin, the Grand Inquisitor, was killed when the Imperial palace on Weerden was rammed by the
shuttle Sark I. An assassin droid is suspected of killing the shuttle's flight crew and causing the crash.
[SWS]

Wehttam
Wehttam is a planet located in the Farlax sector. The language spoken on Wehttam is closely related to the
language known as Torrock. The chromite mining colony New Brigia, within the nearby Koornacht
Cluster, once traded its ore along the hyperlanes to Wehttam and Galantos, until the collapse of Imperial
control of the Farlax sector made commerce increasingly hazardous. Twelve years after the Battle of
Endor, Leia Organa Solo made the decision to send the New Republic's Fifth Fleet into the Farlax sector to
protect worlds such as Wehttam and Galantos from the Yevethan fleet massing in the Koornacht Cluster.
Leia accepted the emergency petitions for membership from all worlds bordering the Cluster, including
Wehttam. The Republic warships Jantol and Farlight were then sent to Wehttam as a show of strength.
[BTS, SOL]

Widek
Joruna and Widek are two New Republic planets located near the Koornacht Cluster, possibly in the Farlax
sector. Due to the zealous guarding of Koornacht's borders by the alien Yevetha, all freight traffic must
travel a circuitous route around the Cluster to reach both worlds. [BTS]

Wistril
Located in the system of the same name, Wistril is a planet where the Star Destroyer Chimaera stopped to
take on supplies five years after the Battle of Endor. Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade hijacked a supply
shuttle on the planet in order to rescue Talon Karrde from the Chimaera's detention block. Fifteen years
after Endor, Luke Skywalker tried to infiltrate a pirate base in the Kauron system by putting one of the
pirates' supply runners into a Jedi healing trance on Wistril and then taking the man's place. [DFR, SOTP]

Womrik was a temporary base for Garm Bel Iblis' private army during their hit-and-fade attacks against the
Empire. [DFR]

Woostri
Woostri, in the system of the same name, was attacked and captured by Grand Admiral Thrawn. He
determined that the natives of Woostri had both a strong fear of the unknown and a tendency to blow
rumors out of proportion, and would therefore be vulnerable to his seeming ability to fire through planetary
shields. [LC]

Woqua
Twelve years after the Battle of Endor, the Grannan pilot Plat Mallar escaped from a brutal Yevethan attack
on his home planet Polneye in the Koornacht Cluster and desperately tried to reach Galantos in a short-
range TIE Interceptor. A passing ship bound for Woqua intercepted Mallar's signal, which helped alert the
New Republic to the Yevethans' aggressive actions. [BTS]

Wor Tandell
Medical droid Too-Onebee made an inspection tour of the Wor Tandell medical facilities with Lord Cuvir --
Imperial Governor of Firro and Too-Onebee's master. During the inspection Cuvir was assassinated by
Tiree, a Rebel agent, and Too-Onebee joined the Alliance. [MTS]

Wornal sector
The Wornal sector is located near the Sombure sector. Following the Battle of Endor, Imperial Moff
Prentioch and Moff Eyrgen began expanding their individual territories and fighting each other for control
of the Wornal sector. Two years after Endor, Prentioch traveled to the water world of Kaal in the hopes of
gaining control of its aquaculture industry to help fuel his war effort. [SWAJ]

Worru'du
Local crafts for sale on Worru'du include woven baskets spun from the planet's grass fields. [GOF]

Wrea
A blue and white planet located very close to the asteroid belt known as Smuggler's Run. The Wreans are
known to be extremely suspicious of violent activity. Thirteen years after the Battle of Endor, Han Solo
and Chewbacca brought a group smugglers, injured during an explosion in Smuggler's Run, to Wrea for
treatment. [NR]

Wroona
A small blue world in Wroona system, located on the far edge of the Inner Rim. The planet's continents are
separated by vast oceans, and their blue-sand beaches stretch for thousands of kilometers. The near-human
inhabitants of Wroona, numbering over seven billion, are a blue-skinned species with a lighthearted and
optimistic outlook on life. Their society emphasizes materialism and personal gain, and Wroonian
merchants, smugglers, and pirates can be found throughout the galaxy pursuing their personal wealth.
Their impulsive nature can be summed up by the ancient Wroonian folktale of Master Fate, a being who
capriciously blows the winds wherever he pleases. Wroona is run by the Wroonian Guilds, groups that
represent all the various trade organizations and businesses, and the planet's primary starport is located on
the coast of its largest ocean. Animal life on the world includes Wroonian flycatchers, which hang from
coastal cave ceilings by their tongues and swing down to catch their avian prey. The region of space known
as Keller's Void acts as a shortcut between the Wroona and Calus systems.

Thousands of years ago, Wroona's civilization was centered around the seafaring trade. The inherent
dangers of the sea helped contribute to Wroonians' fearless nature, and the unstable governments of the
many coastal kingdoms also contributed to their distrust of authority. Wroona has long been a member of
the Old Republic. Many years ago, a band of armored raiders utterly destroyed Wroona's spaceport and
killed many, until stopped by the Jedi Knight Soonis. Later, during the rise of the Empire, the Imperials
decided to take advantage of Wroona's tactical location. The Empire built a garrison on the surface,
appointed an Imperial governor to run the trade guilds, and erected the Wroonian Stardock -- a massive
resupply and repair facility in close orbit, used only by capital ships too large to land on the planet. After
the Battle of Endor the Wroonians successfully revolted, deposing the Imperials in favor of the leadership
of the Wroonian Guilds. Wroona remained independent from the New Republic, becoming a haven for
smugglers and mercenaries. Several years after Endor, independent operatives Dirk Harkness and Jai
Raventhorn infiltrated the Wroonian Stardock and demolished the Star Destroyer Vengeance, in a revenge
strike against Imperial Advisor Bregius Golthan. The Tondra clan, a family of humans from Wroona,
operates an algae-processing business in Bespin's Cloud City. [SWAJ, GG2]

Wukkar
A heavily-populated world in the Galactic Core. Wukkar was one of many planets that surrendered to
Admiral Ackbar and the Alliance fleet in the years following the Battle of Endor. [DESB]

Wyl sector
The Wyl sector, together with the Aparo sector, forms the inner border of the Corporate Sector. It is ruled
by Moff Gozric. [CSSB]

Xa Fel
Located in the heart of the Kanchen sector, Xa Fel surrendered to the Empire after New Republic forces
were defeated in a thirty-hour battle. Captain Harbid of the Star Destroyer Death's Head accepted the
surrender of the Xa Fel government and handled the surface troop deployments. [LC]

Xappyh sector
Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth was named ambassador at large to the Xappyh sector by the Senate on 8/21/62,
Pre-Empire date. [DFR]

Xartun
Located in the Outer Rim, Xartun orbits two suns and is circled by several moons. The world is ruled by
Governor Nojin Koolb. Though Xartun's former governor had signed with the New Republic, Koolb
privately made a deal with Warlord Zsinj to supply the warlord's forces with valuable supplies. Points of
interest on the densely forested planet include a large transparisteel factory with more than six underground
levels, located next to a ferrocrete landing pad. The factory bunker features hangar doors in the front and
cargo doors in the rear. Past the factory is a parking area for the plant's day laborers followed by a road that
cuts through the forest to the nearest community. Indigenous animal life includes a variety of stinging
insect. Approximately four years after the Battle of Endor, Warlord Zsinj's corvette Night Caller was
assigned to visit a number of unaligned rimward planetary systems and refueling rendezvous points located
just outside of New Republic territory. The schedule included Viamarr Four, Xartun, Belthu, Em-Two-
Three-Nine-Eight, Todirium, Obinipor, and Femion. When the members of Wraith Squadron captured the
Night Caller and arrived at Xartun, pilot Garik "Face" Loran was given a tour of the transparisteel factory
by the planetary governor while the other Wraiths organized a commando mission to destroy the facility.
They succeeded, but were forced to fight their way through probe droids and TIE fighters in order to
escape. [XWWS]

Xendor
Han Solo has been known to swear by the demons, devils, and minions of Xendor. [PS, HG]

Xerton Nine
Home of the Grand Magnus. [SWAJ]

Xobome-Six
Located in the uninhabited Xobome system (named for its single star), Xobome-Six is the system's
outermost planet. The chilly world has several satellites and an asteroid ring. Its breathable atmosphere is
subjected to gale-force freezing winds and driving bits of ice. Approximately four years after the Battle of
Endor, the members of Wraith Squadron evacuated their base on Folor and headed for Doldrums. En route,
they were ambushed in the outer fringes of the Xobome system by a field of Empion mines. When Warlord
Zsinj's corvette Night Caller pursued them there, the Wraiths were able to capture the vessel and brought
the ship to a high plain on Xobome-Six's surface to effect repairs. [XWWS]

Xorth system
The Imperially-controlled Xorth system, bordering the Cardua system, deals primarily in agricultural trade.
It produces the best Farrberries in the galaxy, which are valued for both their pleasant scent and their
stimulating effect. [TSC]

Xyquine
Three years after the Battle of Endor, New Republic forces suffered what Han Solo called a "fiasco" at
Xyquine. A passenger transport was destroyed, and pilot Pash Cracken had to invent the "Cracken Twist"
to disguise the escaping ships' exit vectors. Mara Jade wore a Xyquine shouldersculp to the private
ceremony promoting Thrawn to the rank of Grand Admiral. [DFR, LC]

Yaga Minor
Yaga Minor is a blue-green world inhabited by the Yagai, an alien species that is largely loyal to the
Empire. It is also the location of a major group of Imperial shipyards (in addition to the facilities at Ord
Trasi and Bilbringi) as well as a Ubiqtorate base. The records at the base were thought to have a complete
listing of the Bothan agents involved in the Caamas tragedy. The Yaga Minor shipyards were extremely
busy during Grand Admiral Thrawn's offensive against the New Republic five years after the Battle of
Endor. Ten years later, Admiral Pellaeon met with General Hestiv (the planet's commander) to discuss the
possibility of the Empire's surrender. The Outbound Flight program departed from Yaga Minor on 4/1/64,
Pre-Empire date. [DFR, LC, SOTP]

Yag'Dhul
Yag'Dhul, a small dense planet with three moons in the system of the same name, is the homeworld of the
alien species known as the Givin (and is thus sometimes called Givin). Located twelve hours from
Thyferra and somewhat near Commenor, Yag'Dhul is covered with gray clouds and orbits a yellow star.
The complex interaction of orbits and rotations between Yag'Dhul and its moons means that the planet is
continually beset by massive tidal forces powerful enough to pull the water and the atmosphere to different
locations, exposing large areas of the planet to hard vacuum. While some animals on Yag'Dhul survive by
traveling along with the tides, the Givin have evolved a hard, sealable exoskeleton which allows them to
survive in vacuum. The Givin inhabit hermetically sealed cities built to withstand the strongest tides, and
their society is organized around complex mathematics due to the importance of predicting the tides and the
advanced calculations necessary to do so. Technology on Yag'Dhul is quite advanced, and the Givin are
respected starship builders.

The Yag'Dhul system contains an Empress-class space station that once belonged to Warlord Zsinj.
Approximately three years after the Battle of Endor, Rogue Squadron captured this station to secure a
supply of Zsinj's bacta. Later, the members of Rogue Squadron resigned from the military, and Wing
Commander Varth's fighters were assigned to make the station "uninhabitable" so Zsinj could not use it
again. Pash Cracken, newly reassigned with Varth's wing, offered Rogue Squadron the use of the station,
and they accepted. The cramped station has fifty living levels, with a docking facility in the middle
containing ten levels. The middle six are for cargo storage; the outer sets of two include shops, crew
housing, and the tapcafs Hyperspace and Flarestar. The bottom ten sub-levels were used by Rogue
Squadron personnel. The station's core contains a turbolift. After the death of the space station's former
commander (a Twi'lek named Valsil Torr), Booster Terrik assumed command of the station's merchant
operations. Just prior to the Battle of Thyferra, the Super Star Destroyer Lusankya and the Star Destroyer
Virulence faced down the station at Yag'Dhul. The Lusankya was frightened into fleeing, and Booster
Terrik managed to bluff the commander of the Virulence into surrendering his ship. The explosion of a
thermal detonator, stolen from a battle zone, in a wealthy residential zone on Yag'Dhul was one impetus
behind the Historic Battle Site Protection Act established by the New Republic senate. [GG4, BTS,
XWKT, XWBW]

Yavin system
Far from the Galactic Core and major hyperspace lanes, the Yavin system does not appear on many
astrogation charts. The system's three planets -- Fiddanl, Stroiketcy and Yavin -- orbit a medium orange
star. Formed over seven and a half billion years ago, the system was first surveyed during the Old
Republic's Expansion Era, and was originally recorded as unfit for human habitation. [GG2]

Yavin
Yavin, in the system of the same name, is an orange gas giant nearly 200,000 kilometers in diameter with a
strong magnetic field. The planet occupies the outermost position in the system and has dozens of moons,
three of which (designated four, eight, and thirteen) can support humanoid life. Refracted light from the
system's star causes the planet to seemingly glow with an inner light. Yavin's atmosphere, almost 65,000
kilometers deep, is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, and the windstorms at this level often
exceed 600 km/hour. Throughout this upper atmosphere live several varieties of floating gasbag creatures,
which breed once every century. Most are non-predatory and feed on drifting algae, but two species (the
floater shark and floater squid) prey on their fellow animals. Yavin's metallic core is surrounded by a thick
layer of frozen liquids under tremendous pressure. Many species of nearly two-dimensional "crawlers" live
in this frozen layer, at pressures that would crush most other lifeforms. The pressures are so great that
carbon and metallic hydrogen are compressed together to form quantum crystals called Corusca gems. The
gems, found only at Yavin's core, glow with an inner light and are the hardest substance known in the
galaxy. Due to their uniqueness and rarity they are extremely valuable. The Damarind Corporation, an
enormous galaxywide consortium of jewel merchants, had an exclusive contract with the Empire to harvest
Corusca stones from Yavin. Damarind Fishing Station, in orbit above the gas giant, retrieved gems for
several years until eventually going bankrupt due to economic difficulties.

Immediately following the Battle of Yavin, an Imperial Salvage Station was temporarily set up in the
planet's orbit to analyze the debris from the destroyed Death Star. Seven years after the Battle of Endor, the
New Republic attempted to dispose of the Sun Crusher by depositing it in the planet's dense core, but it was
quickly retrieved by Kyp Durron. One year later, following an intense battle at Yavin 4, Admiral Daala's
Super Star Destroyer Knight Hammer plunged into Yavin's atmosphere and was destroyed. Nineteen years
after Endor, Lando Calrissian established GemDiver Station in Yavin's atmosphere to retrieve Corusca
gems from the lower levels. The station operated by dropping a quantum-plated diving bell via an energy
tether down to Yavin's core, where the largest gems can be found. Jacen and Jaina Solo were kidnapped
from GemDiver Station following an Imperial attack. [SW, SWN, DA, DLOS, YJK, GG2, DS]

Yavin 4
The fourth moon of the planet Yavin houses the temples and ruined buildings of the now-vanished Massassi
race, and once served as the primary base for the Rebel Alliance. A hot jungle world, Yavin 4 has four main
continents separated by six oceans, and contains one landlocked sea. (A scouting report for Wetyin's
Colony tentatively named the four continents Koos, Starloft, Swivven, and Wetyin.) Volcanic mountain
ranges and wide rivers can be found amid the thick jungles and towering, purple-barked Massassi trees.
The moon has both a wet and dry season, and violent, unpredictable storms whip across its surface every
few months. Beautiful rainbow storms sometimes occur when the sun rises past the limb of the gas giant
Yavin and its light refracts against prismatic ice crystals high in the atmosphere. Yavin 4's flora includes
sense-enhancing blueleaf shrub, climbing fern, feather fern, colorful nebula orchids, blistering touch-not
shrub, and explosive grenade fungi. Indigenous life in Yavin 4's jungles includes semi-intelligent simians
called woolamanders, stubborn Yavinian runyips, mucous salamanders, purple jumping spiders, lizard
crabs, swimming crabs, whisper birds, reptile birds, stinger lizards, crystal snakes, armored eels, stump
lizards, crawlfish, ravenous stintaril rodents, a six-legged, tusked beast with tentacled eyes, tree ticks,
spiderlike anglers, piranha beetles, stonebats, purple-winged kitehawks, twelve-legged spotted thyrsls,
button beetles, and flying, two-headed reptiles created during the time of the Sith Lord Exar Kun. Several
of the ancient Massassi ruins have been given names, including the Great Temple, the Palace of the
Woolamander, and the Temple of the Blueleaf Cluster, and almost all of the ruins are connected via an
extensive network of underground tunnels. Temple Atun is the steepest of the ruined temples. The
pyramidal Great Temple lies next to a broad, branching river. The top of the Temple houses an observation
deck, and below that is the vast grand audience chamber. Below the chamber are housing levels, and the
ground level contains the Communications Center, common rooms, and the Alliance's former War Room.
The Temple's hangars are located underground.

Over four thousand years ago the Sith magician Naga Sadow, under a death sentence from the current Sith
Lord, fled to Yavin 4 with his followers where he could practice his Dark Side alchemy in peace. Sadow
hid his starship and his alchemic equipment beneath the Sith Temple of Fire. Sadow's alchemy helped
create many monsters, including a warrior species called the Massassi designed to guard Sadow's Yavin 4
legacy. The Massassi, the mutated descendants of the ancient Sith, gradually devolved into a primitive but
dangerous people, using the Dark Side to augment their archaic weapons. The gas giant Yavin was viewed
as a glorious but terrifying god by the Massassi people, and they were attracted to Sith teachings in an
effort to become like gods themselves. When the Dark Jedi Exar Kun arrived on Yavin 4, he enslaved the
Massassi and forced them to construct new temples as focal points for Sith power. One temple dedicated to
Kun s greatness was built deep in the jungle in the center of a still lake, and featured glittering Corusca
gems and a towering obsidian statue of the dark lord. During the Sith War, Kun brought twenty Jedi
knights to Yavin 4, where he infected them with the evil spirits of the ancient Sith. Ordering them to go out
and slay their Jedi masters, a terrible Jedi holocaust descended on the galaxy. Soon, however, a united
group of thousands of Jedi, led to the jungle moon by the repentant Ulic Qel-Droma, arrived to stop Kun.
The Dark Lord ordered the Massassi Night Beast into an isolation chamber as a surprise for his enemies,
and began putting his final plans into effect. Knowing he could not defeat the Jedi fleet, Kun sacrificed
thousands of Massassi lives to trap his own spirit within the walls of the temples. The Jedi attackers
mistakenly ignited the moon's jungles, devastating its surface and causing the deaths of the remaining
Massassi, but the Great Sith War had finally ended. Before his defeat, Exar Kun had trapped the children
of the Massassi within a strange golden globe, and several desperate Massassi traveled to Yavin 8 to seek
assistance from the Melodie people. Four hundred years ago, the Jedi master Ikrit discovered the golden
sphere containing the Massassi children located beneath the Palace of the Woolamander, and stayed
beneath it to await someone who could break its curse. Centuries later, the Rebel Alliance constructed its
primary base within the abandoned temples after they evacuated their installation on Dantooine. Under the
command of General Jan Dodonna, Alliance engineers cleared out the ancient structures and made them fit
for habitation once more, and also installed a turbolift and erected high lookout towers. Dodonna sealed off
the nearby Temple of the Blueleaf Cluster when an eerie power crystal, containing what appeared to be
trapped spirits, was found inside its main audience chamber. The Sullustan naturalist Dr'uun Unnh took
time out from his Alliance duties to begin the first modern-day studies of the jungle moon, cataloguing
many of its plant and animal species. Not long after, the first Imperial Death Star discovered the secret
base and moved into firing position as the Rebels counterattacked with snubfighters. The battle station was
completely destroyed by Luke Skywalker (in what is now referred to as the Battle of Yavin) as it attempted
to shatter Yavin 4 with its superlaser. During the fighting, an Imperial pilot named Qorl crashed his
damaged TIE in the moon's jungles and fruitlessly awaited rescue, while another crashing TIE killed Dr'uun
Unnh.

In the aftermath of the battle, the Empire blockaded the moon and periodically attacked the Rebel base with
TIE fighters. During one such attack, a TIE bomber crashed in the jungle and awakened the Massassi
Night Beast, which had lain dormant for thousands of years in its suspended animation capsule. According
to the capsule's records, the Massassi left the creature behind to guard their temples while they fled the
system to escape a war. The Night Beast (which could use the Force to shield itself from energy weapons)
laid waste to much of the Rebel base until calmed by Luke Skywalker. The creature then took an Alliance
ship and left the moon, intending to search for its former masters among the stars. The Alliance eventually
evacuated Yavin 4, and much of their food supply was destroyed in the process, which necessitated
negotiations with Overlord Ghorin of the Greater Plooriod Cluster. Soon after the Alliance's evacuation,
the Empire gave a permit to the Fernandin Scouting Expedition to investigate Yavin 4 as a possible
homeworld for the displaced Wetyin's Colony. Eleven years later (seven years after the Battle of Endor),
the Great Temple was used as the location of Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy, and the long-trapped spirit
of Exar Kun reasserted itself. After nearly killing Skywalker, Kun’s ghost was finally vanquished by the
efforts of the new Jedi trainees. An Imperial spy named Brakiss tried to infiltrate the academy but fled
when Luke forced him to confront the darkness within himself. Another student, Dolph, abandoned his
training to return to Almania, where he fell deeply into the dark side and assumed the name of Kueller.
Eight years after Endor, the Jedi Academy was targeted for attack by Admiral Daala's fleet. After a long,
destructive battle, Daala's forces were defeated and her Super Star Destroyer Knight Hammer was
demolished. Twelve years after Endor, Luke Skywalker left the Academy with his pupil Streen in charge,
in order to spend time by himself and eventually embark on a search for his long-lost mother. Eighteen
years after Endor, Anakin Solo visited the Jedi Academy and discovered a mysterious golden sphere hidden
beneath the Palace of the Woolamander. One year later, Jacen and Jaina Solo visited the Academy and
were held prisoner by the TIE pilot Qorl, still living in the moon's deep jungles. Less than a year later the
academy was attacked by the Shadow Academy, resulting in the destruction of much of the Great Temple.
The Great Temple was rebuilt soon afterwards, and a New Republic defensive military force was stationed
in orbit. [SW, SWN, DA, COTF, DLOS, YJK, YJK2, JJK, GG2, CSW, DS, FP, ISWU, TSW, NR, BTS]

Yavin 8
The eighth moon of the planet Yavin is covered with vast brown and green tundra plains, located between
two polar ice caps and split by an equatorial range of purple mountains. The moon has almost no large
bodies of water, though large reservoirs of groundwater lie beneath the permafrost of the mottled tundra--
resulting in the formation of small marshes and swamps during the summer months. The intelligent
amphibious humanoids known as the Melodies inhabit the caverns and lakes in the warmer equatorial
region near Yavin 8's mountains. Unlike most amphibians, the Melodies begin life on land, then move into
water as adults -- their legs are replaced by tails and their lungs by gills. This transformation into adult
form, called the Changing Ceremony, happens around a Melodie's twentieth year and takes place in a
shallow pool coated with a unique, air-supplying algae. The Melodies are unable to leave their pools
during the transformation (which can take weeks), and are thus particularly vulnerable to Yavin 8's many
land-based predators. The young Melodies perform most of the necessary functions of their primitive
society, since the elders can no longer leave the streams and lakes. Animal life on Yavin 8 is abundant,
including silver-backed fish, and also many species of herbivorous burrowers and their carnivorous
counterparts (such as the loper and moss-hopper). Seventeen species of grazers, including the wolbak,
dysart, dontopod, and songbuk, inhabit the moon's tundra and mountain ranges. Yavin 8's predators include
snakelike reels, color-changing ursods, rodent-like raiths, flying avrils, serpentine ropedancers, and
arachnid purellas. Plant life on the world is primarily made up of lichens, mosses, algae, and stunted trees
and bushes, and includes the edible trico plant. About 54 million Melodies inhabit the moon.

Around four thousand years ago, members of Yavin 4's Massassi species journeyed to Yavin 8 to seek help
for their children, who had been magically trapped in a golden globe by the Dark Jedi Exar Kun. When the
Melodie elders were unable to help them, the Massassi carved the story of their plight in the rocks of the
Sistra mountain in the hopes that someone would eventually be able to break the curse. Eighteen years
after the Battle of Endor, Anakin Solo and the Jedi trainee Tahiri traveled to Yavin 8 to take their friend
Lyric to her Changing Ceremony within the Sistra mountain. They had to battle an avril, a reel, a purella,
and a pack of raiths, but the pair uncovered the ancient message of the Massassi and brought back a new
Melodie child, Sannah, to be trained at the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. [GG2, JJK]
Yavin 13
The thirteenth moon of the planet Yavin is a desert world home to two intelligent species of primitive aliens
-- the Gerbs and the Slith. The surface of Yavin 13 is covered with rocky mesas, forests of tall cacti, and
shifting walls of blowing sand. A vast ocean makes up most of the southern hemisphere, which sends
patches of fog and infrequent storms across the arid desert. The nomadic Slith are intelligent serpents,
traveling the desert plains at night and hunting small animals with their venomous fangs. The Slith
communities of eight to fourteen individuals are ruled by an alpha male (though females do all the
hunting), and members communicate with each other by rubbing their scales along the ground. The
rabbitlike Gerbs have metallic claws to aid in burrowing, and enormous, sensitive ears. They live in
underground warrens of approximately ten families and tend their nearby farms with primitive hand tools.
The Gerbs and Slith have traditionally had little to do with one another. Plant life on Yavin 13 includes the
saldi bush and korin flower. Animal life includes a vast array of insect species, twilight lizards, solar-
collecting burning snakes, and over 60 species of scorpionlike tripions. Around 43 million Gerbs and Slith
inhabit the moon. [GG2]

Yetoom
Yetoom, located on the edge of the Senex sector, is the base of operations for Fargednim P'taan, a
moderately big drug dealer. [COTJ]

Yisgga
The starliner Star Morning, owned by the religious Fallanassi order, departed the planet Teyr and went to
Darepp. From there it traveled towards the Outer Rim, stopping at the colony worlds 23 Mere, Yisgga,
New Polokia, Fwiis, and Babbadod. [SOL]

Ylesia
A "religious" colony lying in Hutt Space two systems away from Nal Hutta, Ylesia is a hot, humid world
with a blue-gray sky, orbiting an orange-red star. The planet is moonless and has a very rapid rotation,
making a local day only ten standard hours long. Its three main continents (one at the north pole and two at
the equator) are separated by shallow oceans dotted with island chains. The atmosphere is roiled by
turbulent and unpredictable storms, which frequently douse the planet in torrential rains. Ylesia is said to
offer refuge to those seeking sanctuary, and houses these pilgrims in colonies located on the eastern
continent. Colony One was established some fifteen years before the Battle of Yavin; several years later
came Colony Two (150 kilometers north of Colony One, past the Gachoogai River and over the Mountains
of Faith on the northeastern edge of the ocean) and Colony Three (70 kilometers south of Colony One).
Colony One contains a Welcome Center/amphitheater across from a large landing pad. Some distance
away (through the surrounding jungle) is a modern-looking Administration Center, which contains the
priests' quarters, the Armory, and a private display room of treasures and artifacts on the underground level.
To the northeast of Colony One lie the Flowered Plains, the Forest of Faithfulness, the Altar of Promises,
and finally the snow-capped Mountains of the Exalted. A large expanse of reddish mud, infested with
white worms, lies between Colony One and the Zoma Gawanga (Western Ocean), situated approximately
one kilometer from the beach dunes. Colony One houses nine massive spice-processing factories,
including five three-story buildings (for the processing of regular spice) and four one-story structures which
extend underground (for glitterstim spice). A two-story dormitory houses the religious pilgrims. Above
Colony One in a synchronous orbit floats a space station for arrivals who don't wish to risk their ships
during an atmospheric landing. The symbol of the Ylesian colonies is a huge, wide-open eye and mouth.
Indigenous animal life includes a type of parasitic blood-eating fungus, nala-tree frogs, and large ocean
predators deep in the waters of the Zoma Gawanga.

Operated by the Besadii Hutt clan, Ylesia is little more than a slave camp with the false trappings of a
pseudo-religion. The planet's overseers are members of the four-legged t'landa Til species, and can
therefore utilize natural harmonics to stimulate the pleasure centers in others' brains. This addictive
sensation, called the Exultation, is performed nightly and used to keep the pilgrims submissive and
obedient. After toiling in the spice factories for one year, the pilgrims are shipped off and sold as slaves to
spice mines and Imperial pleasure-houses. The Most Exalted High Priest of Ylesia is a t'landa Til named
Teroenza, and other t'landa Til serve as Sacredots (Under-Priests). Ten years before the Battle of Yavin,
Han Solo came to Ylesia to work as their pilot for spice-shipment runs. Han was given a Togorian
bodyguard named Muuurgh and fell in love with a pilgrim named Bria Tharen. After nearly six months,
Han, Muuurgh, Bria, and Muuurgh's mate Mrrov escaped Ylesia aboard the stolen yacht Talisman. After
the incident the t'landa Til expanded the number of Ylesian colonies from three to six, eventually adding a
seventh and clearing ground to build an eighth -- the Besadii clan even had long-term plans to expand their
spice processing to a second world in the Ylesian system. Approximately four years before the Battle of
Yavin, Bria Tharen organized a raid on Ylesia that resulted in the destruction of Colony Three. [PS, HG]

Ylix
A backwater world, Ylix was the home planet of Gallandro the gunman. An ancient feud existed between
Ylix and Goelitz (a planet a few systems away) and Ylix was occasionally attacked by Goelitz
revolutionaries. As a youth Gallandro enlisted in the Ylix militia, and their forces eventually defeated
Goelitz after many devastating battles. [CSSB]

Yrrna system
Located in the Outer Rim, the Yrrna system was the site of an Imperial cargo transfer area. Following the
Battle of Hoth, this cargo area was attacked by the pirate leader Ali Tarrak, using her strike force of stolen
TIE Defenders. [TSC]

Y'Toub system
The Y'Toub system, located in the center of the galactic region known as Hutt Space, contains six planets
orbiting the yellow star Y'Toub. A massive, radioactive gas cloud containing the hidden planet Ganath lies
at the outer fringe of the system, as does a dim red star which is orbited by the planet Nar Hekka. Four of
the system's six planets are habitable, though the largest (and best known) is Nal Hutta, with its orbiting
"smugglers' moon," Nar Shaddaa. Consequently, it is sometimes called the Nal Hutta system. [GG4,
DESB, DE2, DS, HG]

Yuga Two
A planet covered with dense rainforests and clinging trees, Yuga Two is a popular tourist destination due to
the Yuga Planetary Park. Alliance historian Voren Na'al bought passage from Yuga Two to Tatooine on a
Galaxy Tours ship to begin documenting the histories of the Heroes of Yavin. [MTS]
Yulant system
Located in the Core Worlds, the Yulant system contains one of the eighteen farming planets administered
by the Salliche Ag Corporation. After the Battle of Endor, workers in the Yulant, Ruan, and Broest systems
revolted against the Imperially-controlled Salliche Ag by burning fields and destroying hydroponics
facilities. [SWAJ]

Zalso
Ral Shawgrim, a former Alliance technician who tried to steal the X-wing starfighter plans, was a native of
Zalso. When Shawgrim's parents, who worked on Zalso during the cor'tan season, were killed by the
Empire, Shawgrim joined up with a small Rebel cell on the planet. [SWAJ]

Zebitrope IV
Located in the Zebitrope system, Zebitrope IV is the homeworld of a species of lizard whose members
symbiotically support a spongy mold growth on their backs. This mold is the only source of the addictive
drug lesai, which eliminates the need for sleep in those who take it. [LCFW]

Zeffliffl
Zeffliffl, the fourth planet orbiting Markbee's Star, is home to the seaweed-like aliens also known as
Zeffliffl. They inhabit the shallow seas surrounding the smaller southern continent of the planet, and must
spray themselves with seawater when spending time on land. The Zeffliffl exist in close groups of several
individuals, and their bodies will automatically reject any outsider who attempts to join this group. [CS]

Z'fell
Located in the system of the same name in the Koornacht Cluster, Z'fell is one of the primary, large-
population worlds of the alien Yevethan species and is a member of the Duskhan League. During the Battle
of N'zoth, the New Republic also attacked Wakiza, Tizon, Z'fell, and Tholaz. [SOL, TT]

Local crafts for sale on Zhann include animated storytelling puppets. [GOF]

Zhar
Zhar is a gas giant planet with two moons, Gall and Kile, located in the far Rim systems out in the middle
of nowhere and a long distance from the planet Tatooine. Kile orbits the planet directly opposite Gall.
[SOTE]
Zhina
Located in the Koornacht Cluster, Zhina is one of the primary worlds of the alien Yevethan species and is a
member of the Duskhan League. It was the location of an orbital Imperial repair yard, codenamed Black
11, for the Empire's Black Sword Command. After the Battle of Endor, the Empire retreated from the
shipyards of Zhina, Wakiza, and N'zoth, and the Yevetha were able to capture several of their capital ships.
The Black 11 shipyards were later moved away from Zhina to a clandestine location. [BTS, SOL]

Zi'Dek system
Han Solo used to make smuggling runs to the Zi'Dek system. He learned some of their port access codes,
but these codes were later changed by the Imperials. [COPL]

Zirtran's Anchor
A trading station drifting near the Phosphura Belt Nebula, Zirtran's Anchor is a hodgepodge of vessels and
freighters welded together and connected by interlocking pressure tunnels. Owned and operated by tribal
nests of Geelan -- short furry aliens who love bartering and hoarding valuables -- the station continues to
grow over time as more ships are added to its bulk. The Anchor is a haven for smugglers and other free-
traders, and the Empire only maintains a token customs presence. A Golan battle station was recently
purchased by the Geelan to protect the Anchor from outside threats, while the private security firm
Defensus Solar keeps internal order. The station is divided into four primary regions: Alpha, Beta, Delta,
and Epsilon. The Hub in Sector Alpha is the heart of the Anchor, and it is where most arriving ships must
dock. Chabak's is a popular tavern along the Hub's main Spine Passage. Sector Delta contains the Death
Mark frigate, a haven for bounty hunters, and the Rusted Cutlass II, the headquarters of the Phosphura Belt
Pirates. Most of the Anchor's expansion happens in Sector Epsilon, where the mysterious Kalai aliens have
recently attached a ship. The Kalai never appear outside their ship, though some visitors occasionally see
"lethagoes" -- the tall, thin offspring of Kalai and humans.

Zirtran's Anchor is named for the Zirtran brothers, the original owners of the huge barge that forms the
heart of the station. The Geelan purchased the barge and began its expansion, positioning their new station
in the Besberra system. One day the Anchor suddenly and inexplicably vanished, later reappearing near the
Phosphura Belt Nebula. Investigators found that all lifeforms had completely disappeared, and the station's
droids had no memory of the strange event. Though many theories have been proposed, to date no one has
solved this eerie mystery. [SWAJ]

Zygerria?
The possible homeworld of the Zygerrian slavers. Three years before the Battle of Yavin, Han Solo and
Chewbacca had a run-in with Zygerrian slavers off Janodral Miznar. After convincing the slavers to
abandon ship by broadcasting a stolen Imperial ID, Solo gave the ship and its cargo of treasure to the freed
slaves. Among them was Alliance historian Arhul Hextrophon and his family. [HTTE, SWS]
