this New Republic Intelligence ferret ship was assigned to the Fifth Battle Group as a trailer for the Teljkon vagabond. It was used by Pakkpekatt to violate the twelve-kilometer zone around the vagabond, after the fleet's interdiction picket was set up. Later, when the Lady Luck gained entrance to the zecured zone, D-89 was sent in to try and intercept the pleasure yacht using the same code. Unfortunately, the code had changed, and D-89 was destroyed by the vagabond before it finally managed to jump to hyperspace. (BTS)

Da Soocha
a planet with five moons in the Cyax system, in the Huttese language, Da Soocha means "Walking Planet." It is a water-covered world, which lended some credence to the Hutt legends of the Cyax system including a planet with an intelligent, godlike ocean. However, from all initial probes, Da Soocha's ocean is as normal as any other ocean. Admiral Ackbar had planned to rescue his fellow Mon Calamari from the Emperor's World Devastators by transporting them to Da Soocha. (DE1, DESB, EGP)

Da Soocha 5
Da Soocha's fifth moon, home of the New Republic's Pinnacle Base. It was chosen for the Pinnacle Base following the outbreak of civil war on Coruscant, primarily because its location was unknown to everyone but the Hutts. It is called the Pinnacle Moon because of its unique landscape. The huge gravitational pull of Da Soocha has created large tidal forces on the moon. These tides eventually washed away all loose sediment, revealing huge spires of rock that were spewed from volcanoes eons ago. These pinnacles are home for the Ixlls. The moon was destroyed by the resurrected Emperor Palpatine when he fired his Galaxy Gun at the moon, in an effort to eradicate the New Republic. (DE1, DESB, EE)

Da wanga
this Huttese pronoun meant "that one" when translated into Basic. (AAOTC)

D-A02
this repair droid was part of the pool of automatons that worked aboard Matton Dasol's ship, some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. D-A02 was present when Eli Gand killed the crew, and remained in hiding until it was discovered by a Jedi Knight on Kashyyyk. Although it exploded when taken from the ship, D-A02's head was later recovered, and its recordings were used as evidence in Eli's trial. (KOTOR)

Daal
this was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)

Daal, Raymas
this small-time criminal operated on the planet Naboo, during the period leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Daal was contacted by the Trade Federation's secret agents, and was supplied with funds to hire freelance mercenaries to help knock out Naboo's communications relays, in order to isolate Naboo during the Federation's invasion of the planet. Once the relays were knocked out, the Federation could deploy its jamming satellites in orbit, effectively cutting Naboo off from the rest of the galaxy. Although ultimately successful in hiring the freelancers, Daal was later captured by the Naboo Royal Security Force and detained for questioning. (WOA8)

Daala
this woman served as an Imperial Navy Admiral (the only female in any Imperial command position), and was in charge of the Maw Installation during the height of the New Order. She was educated at the Academy on Carida, and excelled at everything her teachers could throw at her. Unfortunately, being female in the Imperial Navy meant that she was constantly overlooked for promotions and awards. This angered her, but she struck back silently, creating an alter ego for herself in the Academy's computers. Her alias quickly became known as one of the Empire's brightest naval minds, and even Grand Moff Tarkin took notice. When he arrived at Carida to take this military prodigy under his wing, he was stymied by the fact that the physical person did not exist. He dug deeper into the computer records and discovered Daala's ruse. Though he was Imperial to the core, Tarkin realized that her genius could not be wasted any longer. He took Daala with him as a personal attache, and promoted her in the field. Her promotion to Admiral was presented by Grand Moff Tarkin, and Palpatine may have been unaware of it. She was placed in command of the small fleet guarding the Maw Installation, where she stayed for ten years, cut off from the outside galaxy. When the Maw Installation was discovered by Han Solo and Kyp Durron, she was forced into action against a vast, unknown enemy and with limited, outdated resources. Her initial strikes against the New Republic were tactically successful, but she lost three-quarters of her fleet in the process. She fled to the deep Core Systems, hiding from the New Republic while trying to unite the various Imperial warlords who also hid there, squabbling amongst themselves. Much of her "Empire" was made up of pirates and thugs, and those Imperial officers who chose not to follow Admiral Pellaeon Rimward to form another "Empire." She eventually met up with Pellaeon, and the two of them executed the warlords in a summit meeting that was supposed to bring them all together. The mass executions were Daala's last resort, but she chose to do it. She took command of the combined Imperial fleet, and set out to eliminate the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. She also arranged for part of her fleet to take out a number of important New Republic locations. Her plans nearly succeeded, but the combined might of the Jedi Knights and the New Republic proved too much for her fleet. The seventeen ships under Pellaeon were physically flung from the system; Cronus' ships were dispersed on secondary missions; and her own flagship, the Knight Hammer, was sabotaged by Callista before she could claim ultimate victory. Daala evacuated the ship as it plunged into the core of Yavin, and was rescued by Pellaeon's ships at the fringes of the system. Once aboard Pellaeon's ship, Daala resigned her rank as Admiral and turned the fleet over to Pellaeon. She re-appeared on Cybloc XII, shortly after the Death Seed plague had wiped out the New Republic forces there. She found R2-D2 and C-3PO among the decomposing bodies. She had been retired on Pedducis Chorios, but was offered an advisory position by the piratical warlords that ruled the planet. She hoped that the droids would reveal information on the battle in the Meridian Sector, but was dismayed to learn that Moff Getelles was among the combatants. She detested his condescending ways, and agreed to help out the New Republic by attacking Getelles. In the aftermath, she was reunited with Liegeus, and the two returned to her outpost on Pedducis Chorios. Daala made another series of attacks on the New Republic after the Black Fleet Crisis was resolved, having gathered a small force of Imperial defectors upon her return to the Deep Core. Her efforts were once again thwarted, and Daala was forced to blind-jump her starship Scylla into hyperspace. (JS, DA, COTF, DS, NEGC)

Daalang
this planet was the site of a trade conference during the Galactic Civil War. Han Solo was escorting Leia Organa to the conference when they became entangled with the Five near Attahox. (CSWDW)

Daan
this people was one of the two major factions which inhabited the planet of Melida/Daan. Throughout the history of their planet, the Melida had seen the Daan as feral beasts, and used a legacy of perceived wrong-doings to continue their civil war. The older members of both societies fought to avenge losses sustained centuries before, using their children as laborers in munitions factories while they killed each other in battle. They had been involved in a war with the Melida for thirty years before Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn traveled to their planet to rescue Tahl. (DOD)

Daan Council
the governing body that controlled the actions of the Daan, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. (DOD)

Dab
meaning "joy", this name was common among Gungan females. (GCG)

Dabaroo
this heavy vegetable was used in many gourmet dishes. Aside from its exotic taste, the dabaroo's skin exuded natural phosphors during preparation, making any meal which containd dabaroo glow an unusual blue color. The blue coloration can be altered by the amount of time the dabaroo skin is cooked during preparation, from an intense cobalt to a royal blue. (HNN5)

Dace
this was one of the most common names given to female Corellians. (GMR9)

Dace
this was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Dachat
the Nelroni Marauders established a base on this planet, which was located along the Hyabb-Twith Corridor. The Dachat base allowed the Marauders to prey upon the governments of both Hyabb and Twith, while taking their pick of the ships which traveled between them. Following the loss of their main base on Voon, the Nelroni were driven off Dachat by the ancient Jedi Knights. (TOJC)

Dacho District
this was one of the largest factory districts found on the planet Coruscant, some 700 years before the Battle of Geonosis. At that time, a chemical explosion in the Dacho district set off the planet's most lethal industrial accident. The explosion occurred deep below the surface of the planet, and unleashed toxic neuritic carbide gases, killing more than 300,000 beings who were trapped in the complex. Investigation by the Old Republic revealed more than the reason behind the explosion. Urban legend claimed that the sub-levels of the factories were processing the bodies of poor and disadvantaged immigrants in order to reduce them to their biological fluids. Although the actual cause of the explosion was classified by the Republic, every Dacho district corporate executive fled the planet, and the entire area was abandoned. During the last decades of the Old Republic, the Dacho district was rumored to be haunted, and the Jedi Knights recognized a subtly nightmarish emanation of the Force from the area. It became known as the Dead Sector, and was avoided at all costs. Perhaps these were the reasons that Darth Sidious and his apprentice, Darth Tyranus, chose to meet there in the wake of the Battle of Geonosis. (SWI65)

Dacholder
this man, known to his friends as Doc, worked with Uldir as a search and rescue pilot aboard the Pride of Thela during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Unknown to Uldir, Dacholder was also a member of the Peace Brigade. When the Yuuzhan Vong declared that they would halt their invasion if the Jedi Knights were turned over to them, the Peace Brigade told its members to locate and turn over any Jedi they encountered. Dacholder, knowing that Uldir was once a student of the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, arranged for Uldir to be taken by staging a fake rescue operation to the Winning Hand. However, during the transfer, Uldir activated an emergency airlock he had installed, and Dacholder was sucked out into space. Uldir took the Pride of Thela and escaped. (EVC)

Dacia
this woman was a member of Han Solo's strike team, dispatched to the Forest Moon of Endor to take out the shield generator protecting the second Death Star. She was injured while trying to hold off a group of biker scouts. (SWRPG)

Dack
this was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Dack
this possible Jedi candidate was located in the Imperial computers by R2-D2 and C-3PO, but was disregarded because he cheated rather than sensed the winners of blob races. He was a micro-electronics expert. Seeking to become wealthy and never have to work again, he rigged the Duchess Mistal's search for a consort so that the computer selected him as the candidate. She could not bear to be away from him, and so she wouldn't let him out of her sight. He fled to Umgul in an effort to escape their marriage, and tried to rig enough blob races to afford passage farther from Dargul. He was apprehended by Lando Calrissian during a blob race, as Lando was trying to determine if Tymmo were a candidate for the Jedi Academy. What Lando discovered was that Tymmo had been implanting micro-motivators into the blobs in order to coerce them into winning. Since cheating at blob races incurred the death sentence on Umgul, and since Tymmo wanted to live more than he wanted to die, he surrendered to Lando was returned to Mistal. (JS, JASB)

Dack
this was one of the most common names given to male Corellians. (GMR9)

Dack Track
an Umgullian blobstacle course commissioned by Duchess Mistal of Dargul, and built by Slish Fondine. It was built to commemorate Dack's return to the Duchess's side. (JS)

this reptilian creature was used as a mount on its native world of Utapau. (OWS)

Dactrurian
an alien race. (RM)

Dactyl
this yellow ammonia crystal is vital to the survival of Arconans who are away from their homeworld. Dactyl is used as a dietary supplement to stave off the effects of low-ammonia atmospheres. Even short periods of time without a regular supply of ammonia will kill an Arconan, so a steady source of dactyl is maintained during travel. (RF)

Dactyl Stork
native to several swamp-covered planets, the dactyl stork was noted for its back-bending leg joints. (T)

daddy
this was the handler of the computer operator who managed the Cularin HoloNet nodes, during the height of the Clone Wars. (LFCW)

Dade, Herron
this man served as a General in the armed forces of the planet Gandle Ott, during the early years of the New Republic. General Dade was the commander of the planet's military forces, and was one of the many who felt that the Empire had not done the planet - or Kathol Sector, for that matter - any favors. He was also a skilled diplomat, and stepped into the limelight when the crew of the FarStar landed on Gandle Ott, during their search for Moff Kentor Sarne. (DARK)

Dade, Lilla
a scout in Page's Commandos, her job was to drop behind enemy lines and open a path for the rest of the team. Page considered her probably the best Pathfinder in the entire Special Operations division, which led to her selection as the primary infiltrator placed on Kal'Shebbol, shortly before the New Republic assaulted Moff Kentor Sarne's stronghold there. Years later, Lilla had maintained her standing with the New Republic military, and remained one of their best trackers. She was part of the assault team dispatched to Ylesia to ferret out and capture the leaders of the Peace Brigade, some time after the Second Battle of Coruscant. (HTSB, DARK, Y)

Dadeferron, Dixon
a native of Kail, Dixen was Torm's father., He was turned into the Corporate Sector police force by Torm for infractions loosely based on the land-use disputes between the Dadeferron family and the Authority. Torm's real motivation was to gain control of the Kail Ranges. (CSA)

Dadeferron, Torm
a native of the planet Kail, Torm and his family were independent landowners within the Corporate Sector. He was jealous of the power his father held as the owner of the Kail Ranges, and wanted it for himself. When his family became involved in a series of land-use disputes with the Corporate Sector Authority, Torm was approached by Authority agents and offered the chance to own the Ranges outright if he would held convict his father of some wrong-doing. Torm agreed, and soon his father, Dixon, and his brother, Trevim, were arrested and removed from Kail. Torm's involvement with the Authority didn't end there. He joined up with Rekkon, ostensibly in an effort to locate his father and brother who had "suddenly disappeared" after the land-use battle. However, this story was just a cover for his real work as an Authority operative whose mission it was to infiltrate Rekkon's group and eliminate it. Torm succeeded in killing Rekkon aboard the Millennium Falcon, but not before Rekkon was able to discover the location of Stars' End. Torm was later discovered by Han Solo as Rekkon's killer, and Han quickly deposited Torm into outer space, without a pressure suit. (HSE, CSA)

Dadeferron, Trevim
Torm's brother, sent to Stars' End with his father, Dixon, as part of the plot to place Torm in control of the Kail Ranges and remove the dispute over the use of the Ranges. (CSA)

Dadefra, Alistar
this man was the Imperial Navy Captain who commanded the mission to wipe out the Eyttyrmin Batiiv pirates. He used the tractor beams on his Victory-class Star Destroyers to hold the pirates' corvettes at bay while spacetroopers boarded them and killed the occupants. He then started lang-range jamming, cutting the smaller pirate ships off from their commands. The Star Destroyers then opened fire at will, followed by an intense concussion missile barrage launched at the surface of the planet Khuiumin. The Imperials sustained 86 casualties while wiping out nearly 8,000 pirates. After the success of the mission, the 53-year-old Dadefra was promoted to the command of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Brazen, and dispatched to Elrood Sector to wipe out the rebellion and piracy which sprang up after the Battle of Yavin. He spent a great deal of time disciplining Captains Pryl and Zed, working to defuse their rivalry in order to center their efforts on destroying the Alliance. When the Brazen was ambushed by pirates, Dadefra managed to limp back to Derilyn for repairs. Unfortunately, the Alliance was able to destroy the Brazen. It was unknown if Dadefra was aboard the ship when it exploded. (SWSB, OE)

Dadrus
this gas giant was the outermost of the three worlds in the Marcellus System. It had five moons. Note that the report from Vost Tyne to Aaz'del Hutrick referred to this planet as Dardris. (POM)

Daedala
this Twi'lek family founded the Daedalus Gas Mines corporation, after convincing a group of investors in the profitability of gas mining on Genarius. They put a large sum of credits into the development of the floating city of Friz Harammel, and funded the development of the AR-25 Bubbleship and the VA-13 Sweeper. (LFC)

Daedlus
this was one of the Alliance's Nebulon-B frigates, active during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Daekun
this was the largest of the underground cities located on the planet Aleron. (PGT)

Daelar vuv Tertarrnek
this Covallon was one of the Alliance's deepest cover agents, pretending to be the pet of Moff Harlov Jarnek. The Imperial Moff, a prime example of a xenophobe who couldn't see anything not human as intelligent, thought vuv Tertarrnek was an interesting pet and nothing more. vuv Tertarrnek, on the other hand, understood everything the Moff said, and was able to provide the Alliance with a bounty of information on troop and starship movements in Tandon Sector. However, vuv Tertarrnek's position as a pet made it hard to transmit data back to the Alliance without being caught, since Jarnek liked to keep his pet at his side to impress others. vuv Tertarrnek maintained his position at the Moff's side by using his empathic sense to match his actions to the Moff's needs. (CRO)

Daele, Hart
this Jedi Knight was known as a theoretical mathematician. He was especially gifted in the playing of Divoran Holochess. He was a native of the planet Damualer Triac. (GG9)

Daeshara'cor
this Twi'leki female was one of the first of her species to attend Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. As a child, she was orphaned when her mother was enslaved, and she spent a lot of time in starports, talking to pilots and learning how to exist outside society's mainstream. Daeshara'cor never forgot the loss of her mother. After joing the praxeum, she struggled mightily with her training, though she believed that Luke's trainings were being lost on Kyp Durron. Daeshara'cor, however, still harbored anger over the loss of her mother, which eventually led her down a path toward the Dark Side of the Force. Shortly after the Yuuzhan Vong first invaded the galaxy, Daeshara'cor was given the mission to determine if any data files from the Maw Installation survived its destruction. After learning how the Yuuzhan Vong enslaved other beings and turned them into mindless slaves, she chose not to board the ship and began her own search for a superweapon to destroy the Vong. She planned to travel to Vortex, hoping to lead the Jedi away from her path. However, Anakin Solo and Chalco located her on Garos IV. Daeshara'cor was forced to capture them and hold them ransom. Anakin, with Chalco's help, managed to escape and capture Daeshara'cor, and they returned her to the Jedi gathered on Ithor. She apologized for her actions, and was eventually forgiven by Master Skywalker. She later fought side by side with Anakin in the Battle of Ithor, but in the end she was mortally poisoned by the bite of a Yuuzhan Vong amphistaff. Anakin despaired that he could do nothing to save her. As her life expired, Daeshara'cor gave herself up to the Force, and her physical form disappeared. (DTR)

Daetan Taakses
this Rodian was the founder of the Pinett Freedom Force, the protest group which tried to protest the blockades established by the Corsignis Property Alliance and the Jon-Tow Economic Development Group during the Galactic Civil War. He started the protests with a very public hunger strike, and the Pinett Freedom Force continued to expland its protests to ensure that ships from either faction were not allowed to land on the moon. Daetan was a pacifist, and felt that peaceful protests such as a hunger strike would be most effective. However, his hunger strike, coupled with the demonstrations by the Pinett Freedom Force, meant that port workers found themselves without work. Whenever he managed to go out in public, he was under constant vigilence against violence from the port workers. (WOA25)

Daf Spearmaster
this Whiphid was part of a mercenary band hired to train the TransGalMeg security force on the planet Narg. However, when the natives of Narg realized that Daf wasn't human, he was released from service. Since that time, he has remained on the planet, frequenting the Free Access Grill and spending his evenings talking with Lin Konpost. Daf realized that his chances of a good living were limited on Narg, but feared that Imperial control of the galaxy would make his life even worse. (TA)

Dafi
this smuggler was part of the gang led by Lemo and Sanda. She was given the statue of the Minstrel by Lando Calrissian, during Calrissian's escape from Arcan IV, in an effort to distract her. She then fired on her former companions, hoping to throw them off in order to find the Dancing Goddess herself. (LTA4, MC79)

Dafi
this mercenary worked for Valance the Hunter during the height of the New Order. A beaked humanoid with long, three-fingered hands and pointed ears, Dafi relished the interrogation of captives. After capturing Jaxxon, Valance ordered Dafi and the rest of his gang to discover the location of Han Solo from the Lepi. Jaxxon refused, even under the ministrations of an agony inducer, until Amaiza arrived to rescue him. In the brief firefight, Dafi and the rest of the bounty hunters were shot and killed by Amaiza. Note that the Star Wars Miniatures website indicates that Dafi was a Mon Calamari. (MC16, SWMW)

Dafid, Wex "TIE-Die"
an Alliance tactical training officer who taught the new starpilot recruits on board the Independence. He earned the nickname "TIE-Die" for his many ways to destroy the Imperial starships. (XW)

Da'Gara
this Yuuzhan Vong Prefect was ostensibly the leader of the Praetorite Vong, and was in command of the primary invasion force launched at the known galaxy, some twenty-five years after the Battle of Yavin. Da'Gara was charged with executing the initial assaults on those planets which were the first Vector Prime objectives. This mission was coordinated with the actions of Yomin Carr on Belkadan, who ensured that the outpost planet could not report on the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. His career was ended quickly after the loss of the Helska base, and his failure nearly ruined the career of Nom Anor. (VP, HT, NJOSB)

Dagdan Dimnid
this Advozse worked in the Imperial Treasury during the height of the Galactic Civil War, acting as a spy for Emperor Palpatine himself. (GMR4)

this Cerean male was a member of the Cularin Militia, serving as a fighter pilot during the height of the Clone Wars.

Dag and his squadron mates were often found in the Crosstown bar, with Dag ranting about the fact that the Republic wasn't free and the Separatists were right to secede. He was forced to reconsider his position when it was learned that Separatist forces had attacked a military base on Cerea, destroying the base and much of the area surrounding it. Civilian casualties numbered more than a million, and Dag was forced to take back most of his rantings. (LFCW)

this plant protected itself by growing large, wicked thorns along its branches. Each of these thorns secreted a venomous sap which could kill a man with just a scratch. Because of this, many gladiators used them in hand-to-hand combat. (MC20)

Dagger, The
developed by Mercevian Nagua - and often known as the Mercevian Nagua Manevuer - this pirate tactic involved the use of a saboteur to disable a target ship's hyperdrive at a specific time, bringing the ship out of hyperspace near a pirate fleet. It was a risky maneuver for the agent placed aboard the target ship, because being discovered often meant certain death. A variation of this maneuver had the saboteur actually seize control of the bridge and bring the ship out of hyperspace themself, delivering it to the pirate fleet. (PP)

Daggerblade
this Imperial System Patrol Craft showed up suddenly in the Endor System, just after the Battle of Endor. It destroyed the Alliance Corvette Old Republic before escaping. (TBSB)

Dagger-class Fighter
this three-winged starfighter was manufactured during the last decades of the Old Republic, and found a following among pirates and mercenaries for its speed and maneuverability. In its form, the Dagger fighter resembled the Clawcraft of the Chiss, with the three wings enclosing the main fuselage. (STF)

Dagger-D
this form of starfighter was produced by the Duros for police work within the Duros System. Built as part of a joint effort between the Duroi Defense Force and FreiTek, Incorporated, the Dagger-D measured 11.8 meters in length, and was equipped with Novaldex BlasterDrive sublight propulsion system.

Daggert
this small, beautifully-striped fish was native to the oceans of Naboo. They were prolific breeders, an evolutionary response to their short lifespan. Daggerts swam in huge schools, and were the most plentiful of all Naboo's fish. (GF, WSW)

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

Daghreb, Mar
this woman served as the Head Manager of the Dorumaa Resort management company during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo.

Dagobah
the primary world in the Dagobah system, this swamp planet was home to Yoda in the years following the Jedi Purge. It was located in the Sluis sector, some 50,250 light-years from the galactic core. Several colony ships tried to establish settlements on Dagobah, but the swamps proved too dangerous or inhospitable to support colonization. A few survivors managed to eke out an existence in the swamps, though. Near the end of the Bpfassh Dark Jedi Insurrection, one of the fleeing Dark Jedi hid on Dagobah. No one knows what happened to the Dark Jedi, but it was surmised that he died there. Furthermore, his knowledge of the Dark Side of the Force caused the planet to be bathed in Dark Side energy. This might also explain why the Jedi Master Yoda was able to hide on Dagobah during Palpatine's purge of the Jedi, since his Light Side strength would have been masked by the amount of Dark Side energy on the planet. The planet's day lasts 23 standard hours, and its year is 341 local days long. (ESB, HTTE, HTSB, NEGC, IWST)

Dagobah Python
this huge, reptilian predator was native to the jungles of the planet Dagobah. These snakes draped themselves over the lowest branches of the jungle, and waited for their prey to wander by.

She was later captured on Teth by Dace Bonearm and IG-72, and was turned over to the Imperial authorities for the bounty on her head. (RD, WOTC)

Dagri
one of the four moons orbitting the planet Onderon. (TOJC)

Dagro
this remote world was a noted agricultural center during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Much of its surface was set aside fro the growing of various grains, including sargheet, although several deep rift canyons split the surface in many areas. Some two years into the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered a secret Separatist base on the planet. With the help of his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, he was able to infiltrate the base and discover the development of crawl-carriers. They were able to destroy the base, and also located the only crawl-carrier that managed to escape. (SWI76, SWI77)

Han Solo was to meet with Dahk at the Event Horizon cantina to present the Kessel Birds he acquired on his famous "Kessel Run". Dahk would then verify his logs and validate his time during the run. However, when Han arrived at the Event Horizon, he discovered that Dahk was simply a bartender, and that he had been set up by Marshak, Lando Calrissian, and their co-conspirators. Squishmael later explained that Marshak and Lando had been playing an expensive joke on young Solo, as part of Lando's revenge for losing the Millennium Falcon. (T16)

Dahz Thulaka
this notedly malevolent Twi'lek lived and worked deep in the bowels of Starlyte Station, where he performed a variety of dark experiments. Talandro Starlyte was aware that Thulaka captured unsuspecting visitors to the Station and used them in his experiments, but was somehow unable to stop it. Thulaka discovered, during his time studying to become a doctor, that he was sensitive to the Force, and dedicated most of his time to researching the mystical energy field. However, Thulaka lacked the patience to correctly develop an affinity with the Light Side of the Force. When the Dark Side called to him, Thulaka jumped in quickly and was shortly dominated by it. He began using his medical skills and his knowledge of the Force to try and create his own army of deformed creatures, capturing unwitting victims and performing strange and unusual experiments on them. These creatures often died quick, horrible deaths, since Thulaka lacked the power to maintain them. After settling on Starlyte Station, Thulaka found an abundance of "raw material" and set up a lab in the deepest section of the station. (WSV)

Dai Utrila
this Force-sensitive Twi'lek worked with his siblings as assistants to Popara the Hutt, during the early years of the New Order. Popara employed Dai Utrila to scrutinize visitors and identify any who might be Jedi Knights, or latent Force-sensitives who might try to influence his mind. After Popara's death, Dai and her sister Koya went to work for Popara's youngest offspring, Mika. The sisters believed it had been Zonnos - and not Mika - who had killed Popara. They were among the many beings Mika employed to protect the Tempest facility on Varl. However, the agents who had once been hired by Popara to locate the source of tempest were able to tell her the truth behind Popara's death, and turned Dai Utrila to their side of the conflict. Dai, in turn, convinced her sister of Mika's treachery, and the two sisters helped the agents destroy the Tempest. (TF)

Dajus, Jessa
this woman was a member of the navigational crew of the FarStar. Jessa, a former tactical officer and pilot for Moff Kentor Sarne, had been imprisoned by Sarne on Kal'Shebbol after she was discovered trying to obtain information on the DarkStryder project. She was liberated from the prison by Page's Commandos, and signed up to crew on the FarStar as a way to exact revenge on Sarne. She was also implicated as having ties to the underworld by Gorak Khzam, when the Rodian defected from the crew on Uukaablis. During the FarStar's patrol of the Kathol Outback, she suffered strange headaches that suddenly appeared and, often just as suddenly, disappeared. The closer the ship got to the Kathol Rift, the stronger the headaches became. During this time, she also distanced herself from the crew, much to the consternation of Captain Adrimetrum. She also kept secret a good deal of information on Moff Sarne himself, which she discovered during several computer searches while in Sarne's service. When the crew of the FarStar located and recovered the Codex from an alien construct inside the Kathol Rift, Jessa experienced an intense hallucination about a spider-like creature consuming an entire planet before taking her inside its embrace. Unknown even to herself, Jessa was Force-sensitive, and her connection to the Force and her proximity to the DarkStryder technology began playing trickson her mind. After an intense dream, she slipped into a coma and could not be revived until the ship discovered the planet Demonsgate. Then, Jessa suddenly woke up and began ranting about knowing the location of the "DarkStryder Planet" and Moff Sarne's hidden base. Little did Jessa know that she was slowly slipping toward the Dark Side of the Force. When the FarStar arrived on Kathol, Jessa was regarded with awe by the Charr Ontee, who named her the "Sleeper." (DARK, KO, KR, E)

Dak Vesser
this being was a xenoarchaeologist who was investigating the Valley of the Dark Lords on Korriban, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. He had become tainted by months of close proximity to the Dark Side of the Force, and was suspicious of the Jedi Knights who tried to infiltrate the Sith academy. The Jedi were on Korriban to search for information on Darth Malak, and Vesser became angry at their constant intrusions. When the Jedi tried to question him at a cantina in Dreshdae, Vesser became angry and attacked them. He was killed in the fighting that ensued. (KOTOR)

Da'k, Winslau
this former Jedi student was on his way to a bright future, until he passed within the presence of Darth Vader. From that time on, Winslau sought to learn more about the Dark Side of the Force. Winslau outsmarted his Jedi Master and imprisoned him on Morcanth, using his prowess with the Force to obtain wealth and luxury. When a group of New Republic agents and Jedi students infiltrated Morcanth, Winslau was defeated in combat. The agents released his old master, who was frail and dying but able to escape. (GMS)

Dak, Zebulon
this man was the owner of the Zebulon Dak Speeder Corporation during the early years of the New Order. He was on Boonta, for the Boonta Speeder Race, when Thall Joben drove the White Witch to victory. He then offered jobs to Joben and his friends, Jord Dusat and Kea Moll.

Dakkar
this elderly Bothan information dealer was the owner and operator of the Jaded Jawa, at the Kothlis Starport, during the height of the New Order. He was distinguished by his dark fur and the scar over his left eye, which gave him a permanent squint. He owned the bar in order to further his information business, and made more money buying and selling data than from selling drinks. A patron who needed information had to order an Antakarian Fire Dancer, then asked their question. Dakkar accepted payment first, then brought the information on a datadisk used as a coaster for the drink. If the information was available, Dakkar served up a Ragnook Spring Water and walked away. A patron who wished to sell information asked for the Ragnook Spring Water and commented on the subject of the information, and Dakkar then suggested another drink, quoting its price as the price for the information.

Unknown to Dal Quirz, Darth Vader had ordered the kunda stones for use as natural filters of pacifog. She was easily subdued when Vader used a small sample of the pacifog on her, enhancing her natural gullability to make her believe the kunda stones were to be used for non-military purposes. (LAT3)

Dal, Rarta
this person owned and operated the Three Moons hotel, in Mos Espa on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. It was Rarta Dal who first hired Kitster Banai as a steward.

(TG)

Dala, Tobbi
this man was rumored to have been one of the three surviving Mandalorian Protectors, along with Alpha-02 and Fenn Shysa, from an original group of 212 which was sent into battle during the Clone Wars. Popular rumor held that it was actually Boba Fett, not Alpha-02, who survived the fighting. Only Dala and Shysa returned to Mandalore when the fighting was over, as Alpha-02 was too shell-shocked from the war to be of use. Much of this backstory was dismissed as fabrication when Leia Organa traveled to Mandalore sometime after the Battle of Hoth, during the search for Han Solo. She discovered that Shysa and Dala had returned to find that their planet had been overrun by slavers, and both set out to destroy the slave trade and return contol of the planet to the Mandalorians. Tobbi was captured shortly before Shysa captured the bounty hunter Dengar, and the opposing sides agreed to exchange captives. However, Leia demanded to talk to Dengar, and the plan was thwarted. Tobbi was imprisoned by the Suprema, who displayed his Mandalorian armor in a trophy case. He was later freed by Fenn Shysa and Leia Organa, but was shot in the chest during their escape by the Suprema. Despite being fatally wounded, Tobbi managed to grab the Suprema's weapon, allowing the others to escape the slavers' office. In the ensuing chase, Tobbi managed to close the base's blast doors as a group of airspeeders launched to chase after Shysa and Organa. The airspeeders exploded, setting off a chain reaction that destroyed the base and killed every being inside. (MC68, MC69, SWI80)

Dalgeer
this Sullustan was a security officer for SoroSuub, until he could no longer reconcile SoroSuub's connections with the Empire and some of its policies. He joined the Alliance, and was happy to volunteer his services in the construction and management of a base within the volcano of Mount Deldarca. His dedication and energy earned him the respect of the base's personnel, and in turn they named the base 'Dalgeer's Rim.' (HAS)

Dalgeer's Rim
this was the name of an Alliance base located in the Mount Deldarca caverns. Since Deldarca was an active volcano, it provided a measure of protection against detection. The base of the volcano was riddled with tunnels and caverns left behind by flowing lava, which made the location ideal for the Alliance since much of the excavation work had been done naturally. Dalgeers' Rim served as a staging area and secondary fighter base for the starfighters in the system. Power for the base was developed by tapping into the incredibly hot lava flowing beneath the mountain, providing a virtually endless supply of geothermal energy. The base was named for its first commander, the Sullustan Dalgeer. (HAS)

Dalhney, Hric
a native of Alderaan, Dalhney was the Deputy Minister of Security serving Bail Organa.

see Solo, Dalla (CPL)

Dallan, Hek
this crimelord was a native of the planet Stassia, where he maintained his small empire. After hiring Aalia Duu-lang, Dallan found himself on the wrong side of a power play, as Duu-lang curried the favor of law enforcement officers and businessbeings. She eventually eliminated Dallan and took over his entire organization. (SWJ6)

Dalliance
this YT-1210 freighter was owned and operated by the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, during the second decade of the New Republic. Corran Horn and Ganner Rhysode flew it to Bimmiel to investigate the disappearance of an Agamarian xenoarcheology class. (DTO)

Dallin, Hal
this man served as part of the Alliance's Green Squadron of X-Wing fighters, out of Eyrie Base. (SWJ8)

Dallin, Jace
a native of Rendili, this man was a member of Ranulph Tarkin's command circle, during the era of the Stark Hyperspace War. Dallin was on board the Invincible when it emerged from hyperspace near Troiken, as part of Tarkin's plan to destroy the Stark Commercial Combine. Instead of seeing Tarkin back down from his tenuous position and admit defeat, Dallin witnessed Tarkin's madness. Tarkin refused to give up, even after the lost of the Invincible and poor field position in the Lycinder Plain where Tarkin's forces landed. Tarkin even blamed then-Senator Finis Valorum for all the problems perpetrated by Iaco Stark. Dallin, like many of his fellow officers and soldiers, began to question Tarkin's motives, and began to side with the Jedi Knights who came to rescue them. Dallin found that his own xenophobia was an extension of Tarkin's, and quickly shed any pretenses he might have had. Dallin, and many of his peers, refused to serve any longer under Tarkin's command. He later befriended a native Xexto named Billibango, who helped the remaining forces escape from Stark's soldiers. When Billibango threw himself in front of a blast meant for Dallin, Dallin realized that Tarkin's xenophobia was misguided. He allied himself with the Jedi, and worked to get the forces off Troiken. He suffered serious injuried to his head and face, injuries which he allowed to heal naturally. The scars, he later admitted, helped him to remember the War and how he very nearly fought on the wrong side. During the Clone Wars, Captain Dallin was caught between his loyalty to the Republic and his loyalty to his homeworld. When Rendili's leadership chose to side with the Separatists, Dallin was among the small number of military veterans who wanted to keep the Rendili Dreadnaughts out of the hands of Count Dooku. His willingness to negotiate with Jedi Master Plo Koon aboard his flagship, the Mersel Kebir, led to the mutiny of his subordinate officers. Dallin and Koon were held captive, and Mellor Yago threatened to kill them if the Republic's forces didn't leave. Ultimately, Plo Koon and Dallin were freed by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos, and Dallin was forced to shoot Yago in order to prevent any further hostilites. (SHW, RDR)

Dalloralla
this species of tree was native to the planet Belkadan. The average dalloralla was thirty meters in height, and they grew in dense, jungle-like groves. The entire dalloralla tree population was wiped out by the Yuuzhan Vong, when they destroyed the planet Belkadan in order to draw attention away from their base on Helska. (VP)

Dallorian
this strong, chrome-like alloy was used in the manufacture of specialized blaster weapons. Because dallorian could absorb and dissipate large amounts of heat, it allowed blaster manufacturers to use larger power packs to generate rapid-fire blasts of energy. This combination, which would melt or destroy a normal blaster, was tempered by the dallorian alloy. (VD2)

Dallory, Malcolm
this man ran a sizable smuggling entrerprise during the early years of the New Order, and helped his own daughter, Shella Rinou, go into business for herself. (SPG)

Dallows, Reeve
this man, a native of the planet Naboo, was a noted teacher and freighter pilot during the years prior to the Battle of Naboo. (GMR4)

Dallows, Rhys
this man was a native of the planet Naboo, growing up the son of Reeve Dallows, a school teacher and a freighter pilot. Rhys never saw much of his father, whose work as a pilot kept him offplanet more often than not. Nonetheless, Rhys grew up dreaming about flying among the stars. Shortly before the Trade Federation blockaded his homeworld, Rhys was learning how to fly the Naboo N-1 starfighter, as part of the small group of Naboo pilots who made up Echo Flight. He was something of a smart-aleck, and was friends with Dren Melne. However, his loyalties were to the Naboo, and when Dren tried to force Echo Flight to turn over their N-1 starfighters to Captain Sorran and the Velumina, Rhys came to the aid of Essara Till. For his actions, Rhys was promoted to a position within Bravo Squadron. He was thrown into battle when the Trade Federation blockaded Naboo, forcing Queen Amidala to flee the planet. Upon her return, Rhys and the rest of the pilots flew their starfighters against the Federation's Droid Control Ship during the Battle of Naboo. Note that this character is named Rhys Darrow in the final installment of The Starfighter Trap, on the LucasArts website. (OWS, SFT, STF, GMR4)

Dallysin
this man was a noted weapons dealer on Coruscant, during the early years of the New Republic. (GUN)

Dal'Nay, Osten
a former member of the Thaereian Military, this man left Thaere to serve as a Commander in the Cularin Militia, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Commander Dal'Nay was placed in charge of readying the Cularin Militia to confront the Thaereian Military, which had moved into the Cularin System after the planet Cularin suddenly disappeared. Commander Dal'Nay was very outspoken in his dislike and disapproval of the Thaereian Military's presence in the Cularin System, and his attitudes toward Thaere only deepened as time dragged on. Thus, it was surprising when Dal'Nay joined forces with Broof Yurdel and allowed the Militia to simply fade into the background. This was not due to a lack of funding, but was actually a bold move on the part of the two Commanders to eventually launch a counter-assault on the Thaereians. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, they launched their assault - known as Operation False Horizon - using surprise to take control of several Thaereian bases throughout the Cularin System. (LFCW)

Drebble was considered something of a hero to the Alliance after several key victories over Imperial forces were attributed to Drebble, when in fact it was Lando using Drebble's name as an alias. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Han Solo discovered that the Dancing Goddess and the Minstrel were two necessary components in the massive machinery that kept the Godoan race vital.

They were part of a group of bounty hunters hired by Granta Omega to capture the Jedi and their companion, Wren Honoran. However, their plans to capture the Jedi failed when the Jedi actually captured them. Obi-Wan and Anakin then used them to draw out the other bounty hunters. It was during this time that Dane and Floria admitted they were from Thracior. Their parents - a Hnsi mother and a Tantt father - had been killed for intermarrying. The children were forced to make their own way through the galaxy, and became bounty hunters to pay their bills. Years later, Floria and Dane remained a team, although they gave up bounty hunting and were working the Mid and Outer Rim Territories as security officers. Shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars, they were hired by Samish Kash to serve as his personal bodyguards. However, during Kash's mission to Null to discuss a treaty with Count Dooku, Kash was assassinated.

Distinguished by her red skin, red eyes, and red-black hair, Dani was a smuggler and former acquaintence of Han Solo, who was working with Rik Duel and Chihdo during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. She later revealed that she was the first of her race captured and imprisoned by the Nagai, during the subjugation of the planet Zeltros. Dani was part of the smuggler team which agreed to join the Alliance on Stenos, and stayed behind with Rik and Chihdo to keep up the search for the lost statue of Vol. She immediately latched onto Luke Skywalker when he arrived on Stenos with Lando Calrissian during their search for Bossk and IG-88. However, as soon as the statue was found, Rik and his band tried to make off with the statue and sell it to Imperial Governor Matrin. This plan failed miserably, as the Stenaxes learned of the statue's reappearance and set out to recover it. In their anger, the Stenaxes killed the Imperials, but they spared the smugglers. Dani, Rik, and Chihdo remained on Stenos for several years, until Luke Skywalker returned with Lando Calrissian on a mission to locate Bossk. After Chewbacca managed to gain the assistance of the Stenaxes in eliminating the bounty hunters, Dani stowed away aboard the Millennium Falcon to be with Luke and Lando. On Lahsbane, she revealed that she had a death sentence on her head in six different systems for theft and smuggling, before stealing a wealth of jewels and treasure from the Huhks and fleeing the planet in a stolen Imperial shuttle. She eventually returned to Rik and Chihdo, and they set off for the planet Iskalon to salvage whatever they could find in the ruins of Pavillion. This plan fell through when Mone demanded that they leave the planet. Throughout all these adventures, Dani never forgot her love for Luke, which was rekindled when they accompanied him to Shawken. When he continually refused to return her love, Dani turned instead to the Iskalonian known as Kiro. Months later, Dani was captured on Kinooine by Lumiya, and held as bait in a trap to catch Luke Skywalker. Her capture followed the apparent death of Kiro, a loss that haunted her for many months. It was during this time that she was tortured by Den Siva, and Dani was never the same afterward. Her usual bubbly personality and unconditional love had been replaced with a hardness and the desire to destroy the Nagai. In the wake of the liberation of Zeltros from the Tofs, Dani returned to her homeworld and disappeared from the public eye. (MC70, LTA6, MC71, MC72, MC73, MC82, MC87, MC95, PH)

Dannik Jerriko
a 1010-year-old Anzati assassin, Jerriko was known in the underworld as the Eater of Luck. As an Anzati, Jerriko operated with almost total anonymity; thus, he preferred to work for people who needed other bounty hunters, killers, and assassins taken out. He felt a greater thrill from drinking the soup of someone who defied his right to kill than from someone who cowered in fear. While stopping over on Tatooine, he visited Mos Eisley. There, he knew, he could get some of the best soup from some of the galaxy's most notorious criminals. When Ben Kenobi and Luke Skywalker entered the cantina, Jerriko was at the bar, smoking a nic-i-tain hookah. After the events surrounding the death of Greedo, Jerriko resolved to hunt down Han Solo and drink his soup. His chance came when Jabba the Hutt recovered Solo's carbonite-frozen body. Jerriko was eager to enter the palace, and would have done so on his own if he hadn't been approached by the Lady Valarian and Eugene Talmont, both of whom wanted him to spy on Jabba. Jerriko took both jobs, and entered the palace. He tried desparately to drink Han Solo's soup, but was deprived of it when Solo was rescued by Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. Then, Jerriko went a little mad, and resigned himself to drinking Jabba's soup. After learning that Jabba had perished at the Pit of Carkoon, Jerriko went even more mad, killing anyone he could find in the palace. He then fled, and took on a number of bounty hunting jobs.

Danoor
this planet, located in the Nah'Malis System of the Kathol Outback, was colonized about 100 years before the Battle of Endor. The colonists were scientists who wanted to dedicate their research to studying the Kathol Rift. When word reached other planets in Kathol Sector of Danoor's natural beauty and resources, other groups established settlements there as well. Shortly before Emperor Palpatine created the New Order, a stray asteroid from the Duhrib Belt smashed into Danoor, killing much of its native population and destroying large areas of the settlements. Contact with Danoor was cut off for several years, as the Empire left the world to itself. Danoor is a temperate world of varying topography. Its day lasts 25 standard hours, and its year lasts 201 local days. The planet was ruled by a group of Ministers, each of which represented about half a million residents. It was the Minsters, searching for a way to pay for its operations, who invited many corporations to establish branches on Danoor. However, many of the Ministers made concessions in order to draw corporate leaders to Danoor, and so the corporations have an incredible amount of political sway. After Rolf Treidum and the Lialic II attacked the FarStar near Danoor, he then launched a devastator torpedo at the planet. Following the destruction of a huge area of the planet, the Ministers of Danoor told the New Republic to stay away and not bring any more war and destruction to their world. (KO)

this heartless man was a native of the planet Corulag, and was known during the height of the New Order as one of the galaxy's most successful industrial saboteurs. Outwardly, he retained the nobility of his family's social status, while he lacked any sort of loyalty to his employers. Available to the highest bidder, Danson preferred to take on the megacorporations like Sienar Fleet Systems and BlasTech, rather than smaller operations. Unknown to most of his acquaintences and employers, Danson was also a former agent of the Imperial Security Bureau, having spent a great deal of time in the Kuat System. (CCW)

Iry joined Moff Derran Takkar in his plan to disrupt the wedding of Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker, as a way to strike back against the New Republic. Danta spent many years as a field operative, living in the gutters and sewers of Alliance and New Republic worlds, gathering information and performing various acts of sabotage. Moff Takkar assigned Danta the job of infiltrating the wedding site and locating an escape route, for the Imperials to use after halting the ceremony. Danta was later captured by Chewbacca, along with Chala Venan, putting an end to their efforts to disrupt the wedding. (U)

Dantaree
this dark-haired woman grew up working on starships, and became a scout during the early years of the New Order. She joined the Alliance shortly before the Battle of Yavin, and was part of the team which scouted the planet Edan II as a possible base. After learning that the base was the target of an Imperial attack, she began scouting out the Imperial presence on the planet, hoping to find out why the Empire was so interested in Edan II. (IAG)

Dantari
this nomadic race was native to the planet Dantooine. They roamed the coastal plains in small, peaceful tribe. Little was known of the Dantari culture, as they kept to themselves and remained aloof from the Alliance personnel which were garrisoned there during the early years of the Alliance. Later, the Eol Sha colonists were unaware of the Dantari, and were eradicated by Daala's forces before contact could be made. Oddly enough, the Dantari suddenly began to incorporate Imperial symbols into their own daily lives, tattooing images of AT-AT walkers and blasters on their skin. The bravest of the Dantari had full-body images of stormtrooper armor, giving them the impression of being invincible. As a people, the Dantari were generally human in stature, with dark hair and wide, flat faces. (JASB, GOF11, UANT)

Dantels, Nera
this beautiful woman was a smuggler captain who believed in the Alliance during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. She helped the Alliance acquire a shipment of R2-series astromechs, shortly after Incom Industries engineers defected with the plans to the X-Wing starfighter. Aboard her personal ship, the Starduster, Captain Dantels managed to get the astromechs from Commenor with help from the newly-formed Rogue Squadron. She remained on Yavin 4 during the months prior to the Battle of Yavin, where she befriended Biggs Darklighter and Doctor Shae Polikex. Distinguished by her black hair and the talon-shaped tattoos under her eyes, Captain Dantels often turned heads at the Massassi Base with her close-fitting clothes. However, she only had eyes for Darklighter, and was distraught when he was killed in the Battle of Yavin. She continued to fight with the Alliance, and was in command of the ground forces that were dispatched to accompany Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker to Jabiim. (SWED, SWESF)

Danthe
this Imperial Army Major served under Colonel Heget in Kathol Sector, during the last years of the New Order and into the era of the New Republic. Despite his service to the Empire, Danthe believed that the New Republic could actually work, although he was careful not to voice his support of the Republic to Heget. He worked to ensure that communication channels were opened to the crew of the FarStar, in an effort to bring Moff Kentor Sarne to justice. (DARK)

Dantin's Folly
this was the name of Chaeloe Dantin's pirate ship. (SWJ2)

Dantooine
this planet, located in the Raioballo Sector of the galaxy, had a long history with the Republics and the Alliance. The average day on Dantooine lasts 25 standard hours, and its year encompasses 378 local days. In ancient times, it was the site of a Jedi training center under the command of Jedi Master Vodo Siosk-Baas. One of its most prominent students was the Dark Jedi, Exar Kun. The enclave was destroyed by Darth Malak, and the ruins remained abandoned for centuries. Millennia later, Dantooine was ravaged during the Clone Wars, when the Separatists tried to take control of the planet for use as a staging area for warships protecting the planet Muunilinst. Jedi Master Mace Windu almost single-handedly defeated the Separatist forces on Dantooine, leaving the planet free. During the period of the Emperor's New Order, it was the site of Rebel base, but it was abandoned before the Empire could determine the base's location. The Alliance had planned well, using pre-fabricated, self-constructing buildings to construct the base, allowing it to be torn down swiftly after it was learned that a traitor had given away its location about six months before the Battle of Yavin. It was believed that the base was abandoned within a local day. Dantooine had two moons and a dry savannah environment, and the homeworld to the Dantari race, as well as a number of unusual forms of animal life. Perhaps the most unusual aspect of Dantooine's ecosystem was the lavender-colored grass that covered the plains, swaying like a purple blanket in the breeze. The Jedi ruins were once the site where Alliance agents had hidden a holocron containing the names and locations of hundred of agents, although it was later recovered by Dusque Mistflier. Tash Arranda and her brother, Zak, rediscovered the ancient Jedi ruins there, with the help of the Dantari Maga. Maga refused to enter the ruins, for the garoo of the Dantari told legends which said those who entered the ruins never came out. Tash discovered that the Empire was using the ruins - and the legends surrounding them - to create a new batch of clones, using a cloning laboratory which was established by the ancient Jedi Knights. In the year following the resurrection of Emperor Palpatine, Dantooine was the planet to which the Eol Sha colonists were relocated, but it was devastated in a stellar attack from Admiral Daala. The planet remained untouched for many years, until the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Like many other pastoral worlds, Dantooine was quickly captured and reformed for the use of the alien invaders. (SW, DA, DLS, JASB, GOF11, FH3, ROD, SWDB, KOTOR, GMR7)

In addition to his skills and training as a doctor, Vigos also had more than twenty years of combat experience within the New Republic military, making him a competent physician during the heat of battle. However, he met his match when he was placed in charge of ensuring the health of Tahiri Veila. The young Jedi was locked in a mental battle with her alter ego, Riina Kwaad, and traditional methods of reviving her failed to bring her around. (FH3)

Danu
this woman was a native of Drogheda, and a princess of the royal family during the height of the Galactic Civil War. She was the sister of Queen Sarna, but outwardly opposed her sister's rulership during the months following the Battle of Endor. However, Danu was actually in league with Sarna, posing as a rebel leader to draw the insurgents into a trap. Princess Danu later had a change of heart, and helped Lando escape the Queen so that democracy could be preserved on Drogheda. (LTA6, MC83)

Danu, Giddean
this dark-skinned man was Kuat's Senator to the Old Republic, during the years following the Battle of Geonosis. Senator Danu was among the handful of Senators who were chosen by Bail Organa and Mon Mothma to consider the development of the Petition of the Two Thousand. His staunch support of the Loyalist Committee and his desire to work for the betterment of the Republic went against the wishes of the leaders on his homeworld, and the Kuati government recalled him twice to discuss his stance in the Senate. He maintained his loyalty to the Republic despite this, and placed a great deal of faith in the abilities of the Jedi Order. Giddean Danu was portrayed by Christopher Kirby in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (SWI71, E3, VD3, E3N, SWDB)

Danuta
this planet, the innermost world of the Colavas System, was controlled by the Hutts during the last decades of the Old Republic. Following the Clone Wars, Danuta was the site of a secret Imperial data center laid out like the facility on Toprawa. This facility stored the plans to the original Death Star, and served as a research facility for many of the Death Star' systems. Kyle Katarn was able to infiltrate the base and steal the plans, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. Danuta itself was a barren world that provided minimal life-supporting capabilities, and it was orbited by a single moon. Much of the planet's surface was given over to the mining operations of the Brodsport Mining Corporation, although a few farmers managed a meager existence by growing scrubby grains. (DF, SWMW)

Shortly afterward, Danva was part of the task force assembled by Mace Windu to travel to Geonosis and confront the Separatists. Danva was one of the handful of survivors of the the initial stages of the battle, and was captured and led into the execution arena just before the Army of the Republic arrived. Joclad Danva was portrated by Kyle Rowling in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. (HNN5, OWS, MBS)

this Imperial Major was placed in charge of the military on Venaari, during the Galactic Civil War. A vicious man, Daraada considered his career a string of unlucky incidents that led to his slow rate of promotion and his posting on Venaari. While he hated his immediate superior, Governor Vaerganth, Daraada nevertheless provided security for Project Orrad. However, Daraada did not attempt to meet the full demands of the Governor, especially in light of the continual denial of Daraada's requests for additional manpower and resources. Daraada's only fear, which was realized when Shandria L'hnnar and Sienn Sconn discovered it, was that the Alliance cell on Venaari would discover Project Orrad before Daraada could root out the cell. (SWJ5)

Daragon Trail
this noted hyperspace travel route was supposedly haunted by the ghost of Admiral Fa'Rey. It was first established some time before the onset of the Great Sith War by Jori and Gav Daragon, and linked the planet Koros Major with Korriban. The establishment of the Daragon Trail inadvertently provided access for the Sith to reach the worlds of the Old Republic, allowing them to launch the initial attacks of the Sith War. (DW, NEGC)

Daragon, Gav
a native of Kirrek, Gav and his sister Jori charted the ancient space lanes for traders and haulers some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. They had been orphaned at an early age when their parents were killed in the First Unification Wars fought by Empress Teta, and brought up under the watchful eye of Aarrba the Hutt. Gav once tested high in Force-sensitivity, but never was able to obtain full training. The lure of interstellar travel called to Gav and his sister, and they were able to obtain a ship with the help of Aarrba. However, luck was not something the Daragons were endowed with. They were continually in debt to Aarrba, and thought that they had finally broken even when they discovered a risky route known as the Goluud Corridor. They were black-balled by the Navigational Guild and disowned by Aarrba, and tried flee Cinnagar through the Starswarm Cluster, damaging their ship and forcing them to land on Korriban. They were then thrust into the middle of the power struggle between Naga Sadow and the Sith Lords when the Sith Lords thought they were advanced scouts from the Old Republic's Navy. Gav was swayed by Naga Sadow, who held the young man on Khar Shian in order to "protect" him from the other Sith Lords. Sadow allowed him to explore the ancient Sith magics, encouraging Gav's Force potential to grow. Sadow allowed him to train in the use of a huge wall of automated systems, giving him just enough information to lead Gav to believe that he was controlling Sadow's fortress. In reality, Sadow was training the young human in the use of several weapons systems linked to Sith magic. When Ludo Kressh attacked Khar Shian, Sadow told Gav to use the systems to cut off transmissions to the renegade Sith Lord. What Gav actually did was activate a remote detonator on Kressh's ship, causing the craft to explode in a brilliant fireball. It was at this point that Gav realized he and his sister had been manipulated by Sadow. However, he was gaining power with the Force that he never thought he'd have, and when Sadow offered him a position of power in his fleet, Gav agreed. He led part of the assault on Cinnagar, but was confronted by Aarrba. When his Massassi bodyguards cut the poor Hutt down, Gav was shocked at the brutality. When he discovered that his sister had witnessed what he had done, he fled in terror to Primus Goluud, hoping to confront Naga Sadow. There he disabled Sadow's meditation sphere, causing the Sith Lord to lose his concentration. The images Sadow had been projecting into his forces dissipated, giving the combined Jedi-Republic forces new hope. Sadow was furious, and tricked Gav into the failing sphere. Gav's distraction allowed the Republic to launch an attack on Sadow's forces, but Sadow used Sith magic to rip apart Primus Goluud. Gav remained in the sphere, providing the Republic fleet with an escape vector to avoid the explosion. He was killed in the disaster. (GAS, FOSE)

Daragon, Hok
this man was the father of Jori and Gav Daragon, and was a successful supply runner for the ancient rebels of the Koros System. Along with his wife, Timar, they made regular supply runs to planets like Kirrek, providing much-needed supplies while turning a tidy profit in their starship, the Shadow Runner. However, on one fateful mission to Kirrek, they were caught in the crossfire of a raging battle between the rebels and the forces of the Old Republic, and were shot down. Before they could land, though, another volley struck their ship and destroyed it, killing them in the explosion. (GAS)

Daragon, Jori
a native of Kirrek, Jori and her brother Gav charted the ancient space lanes for traders and haulers some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. They were orphaned when their parents were killed in the First Unification Wars, and brought up under the watchful eye of Aarrba the Hutt. Like her brother, Jori had some Force sensitivity, but was the weaker of the two siblings. Also like Gav, she never pursued any formal training. The lure of interstellar travel called to Jori and her brother, and they were able to obtain a ship with the help of Aarrba. However, luck was not something the Daragons were endowed with. They were continually in debt to Aarrba, and thought that they had finally broken even when they discovered a risky route known as the Goluud Corridor. They were black-balled by the Navigational Guild and disowned by Aarrba, and tried flee Cinnagar through the Starswarm Cluster, damaging their ship and forcing them to land on Korriban. They were then thrust into the middle of the power struggle between the ancient Sith Lords, who believed they were the advanced scouts of an Old Republic war fleet. Naga Sadow managed to sway her allegiance, and held her on Khar Delba in order to "protect" her from reprisal by the other Sith Lords. Sadow later returned the Starbreaker 12 to her, telling her that Gav was dead and that she needed to return to the Republic before the other Sith Lords launched an attack on the Republic. Sadow then used the information from the Starbreaker 12' navigational computer to gather information on the Old Republic. When she returned to Cinnagar - which was the only destination she had stored in the ship's computer - she was arrested and charged with every conceivable crime in relation to her escape from Cinnagar. No one believed her claims that the Sith Empire was about to attack, and she was shipped off to Ronika as punishment for her crimes. She managed to escape on an ore drone ship, but was shot down over Empress Teta's palace on Cinnagar. Once captured by Teta's guards, Jori produced a Sith amulet she took from Korriban. This persuaded Odan-Urr and Teta to believe her story of an impending Sith attack. She later was reunited with her brother Gav, but only after he and his Massassi warriors had killed Aarba. She tried to talk to him and bring him back from the Dark Side of the Force, but was unsuccessful. She followed him to Primus Goluud, but was unable to rescue him from the failing meditiation sphere he'd taken from Naga Sadow. As Gav provided an escape route from the unstable star, Jori tearfully said goodbye to him as the exploding star consumed him. Later, she stood by Empress Teta's side as they attacked Naga Sadow's forces near the Denarii Nova, in the final act of the Great Hyperspace War. Upon defeating the Sith and returning to Cinnagar, Teta gave Jori the rights to own and operate Aarrba the Hutt's starship repair facility for her assistance in the war. (GAS, FOSE)

Daragon, Timar
this woman was the mother of Jori and Gav Daragon, and was a successful supply runner for the ancient rebels of the Koros System.

Before they could land, though, another volley struck their ship and destroyed it, killing them in the explosion. (GAS)

Darak
this was one of the more common names given to Cragmoloid individuals. (UANT)

Darak
this Ferroan woman, distinguished by her pale blue skin and gold-black eyes, was one of the first of his people to greet Luke Skywalker's Jedi Knights, when the Jedi located Zonama Sekot during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Along with her partner, Rowel, Darak was openly suspicious of the presence of the Jedi on the planet, despite the fact that Sekot itself allowed the Jedi to land. After Sekot had successfully tested the Jedi Knights to ensure that their mission was, indeed, a peaceful resolution to the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, the planetary sentience agreed to return to the galaxy and help the Jedi. Darak and Rowel both accepted Sekot's decision, and eventually decided that the Jedi were worthy of their assistance. When Zonama Sekot made a blind jump into hyperspace to avoid the sabotage of Nom Anor, the Ferroans were forced to flee underground to avoid the ecological damage that occurred on the surface. Darak and Rowel made many trips into the wilderness to look for survivors, often with the help of the Jedi. However, after several jumps and no clear indication from Sekot as to its plans, Darak demanded that the Jedi leave the planet. (FH3, UF)

However, he proved to be incapable of managing the civilian situation. The Ryn who were stranded on Duro took to calling him "Admiral Dizzlewit," because he continually ignored the refugees. During the defense of Duro, Admiral Wuht took command of his flagship, the Poesy, and attempted to stop any ship which tried to flee the Yuuzhan Vong attack on orders from the Duros Defense Force. However, he realized that the Duros had been deceived by the the combined forces of the Peace Brigade, CorDuro Shipping, and the Yuuzhna Vong, when Mara Jade Skywalker and Jaina Solo revealed the actions of Drugard Brarun and Nom Anor.

Gli had previously helped Ra Yasht and Skarten research their academic paper on Porcellus the cook. When Jabba discovered Gli's assistance to the two academics, he had Gli killed and served up as dinner. (TJP)

Dariana
this female Tarasin was known to be a wise member of the Hiironi tribe, but she was also quite selfish. She desired to gain a position of power, and longed to become the Irstat-Kes of the tribe. She felt that she had a chance when her mother was killed by a kilassin. Her older sister, Meriana, was promoted to become Mother of the tribe, while Dariana was named Irstat-Kes. Her triumphant rise to power was short-lived, however, when Meriana died of a mysterious illness just a day after the death of their mother. Dariana was then named Mother, a position which held no real power. She tried to do her best, but she chafed at the fact that her time as Irstat-Kes was too short. As she aged and grew weak, Dariana broke with Tarasin tradition and began to record her memoirs in electronic form, as a way to preserve her memory and her experiences for eternity. During the Clone Wars, Mother Dariana experienced a se'neth in which she saw the tide of the war sweeping over Cularin, then the oppression of the Empire. Her vision also showed her a way that the Tarasin could survive, but only if they worked together. Despite her words, there were many Tarasin - most of them male - who wanted to ignore the war and remain loyal to the jungle. They spoke of Cularin's death if the Tarasin took up arms, as the destruction of even one tree could set off a chain reaction of events that could cause serious harm to the planet and the Tarasin.

Dark Lords of the Sith
any of the most powerful students of the Sith teachings were candidates to become Dark Lords of the Sith, the equivalent of an all-powerful Jedi Master. The original Dark Lords descended from true Jedi Knights many millennia before the Great Sith War. They were cast out for their forays into the use of Dark Side magic, and exiled on the planet Korriban. There, they interbred with the native Sith race, growing stronger and more powerful as a result of the genetic combination. They expanded their realm into several nearby systems, and individual factions grew out of the isolation. The laws of the Sith dictate that only one Dark Lord can rule at any time. A ritual of ascension was performed, with the candidate being subjected to the bites of three deadly insectoids. If the candidate survived - through the use of intense Sith magic - they were declared the next Dark Lord of the Sith. They were forever marked by the bites, with a flaming sun scar on their forehead. Naga Sadow was one of the first Dark Lords to break away from the established ascension rituals, claiming himself Dark Lord after the death of Marka Ragnos without the consent of the other ruling Lords. Several centuries later, Freedon Nadd was unlucky enough to begin learning the Sith teaching under a young Dark Lord, and yearned to take the position from him. It is for this reason that Nadd went to Onderon. The ancient remains of the Dark Lords before Exar Kun were entombed on Korriban. Darth Vader is thought to have been the last of the Dark Lords. (SW, TOJ, DLS, TSW, GAS)

Dark Reaper
this ancient Sith weapon was believed to have been lost, until Count Dooku - known to the Sith as Darth Tyranus - was dispatched by Darth Sidious to locate it, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The forces of the Old Republic were able to learn of Dooku's mission and intercept him, preventing an possible recovery of the weapon. The Dark Reaper itself was created during the time of the Great Sith War, and was most likely the idea of Ulic Qel-Droma and his fellow Sith. The Reaper itself was a saucer-shaped weapon that required a separate power source - the Force Harvester. Thousands of years later, when the Dark Reaper was to be actived by Dooku, the spirit of Ulic appeared to Anakin Skywalker on Thule. Ulic's spirit explained to the young Jedi how to destroy the device, a task that involved harnessing the Reaper's own energy without being corrupted by it. With Ulic's guidance, Anakin was able to destroy the Dark Reaper, ending the threat it posed to the rest of the galaxy. (OWS, TCW)

this was the name given to the seven warriors trained by Emperor Palpatine in the ways of the Dark Side of Force. The origins of the Dark Side Elite were found in Palpatine's Dark Side Compendium, which described a group of Dark Jedi who were totally immersed in the Emperor's will. Known by the title of Executor, each of the seven Elite was believed to have been utterly loyal to Palpatine. Their leader was Sedriss, and among their ranks were Vill Goir, Zasm Katth, Baddon Fass, Krdys Morid, Kvag Gthull, Tedryn-Sha, and Xecr Nist. Only one member of the Dark Side Elite was known to have deserted his service to the Emperor and returned to the Light Side of the Force. This individual was Kam Solusar. With the death of Emperor Palpatine on Onderon, and the destruction of his stronghold on Byss, the members of the Dark Side Elite were also eliminated. A second incarnation of the Dark Side Elite was nearly completed when the Dark Jedi Jerec assembled six followers and trained them in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force.

Dark Side of the Force
The Force, being an energy field, has opposing sides which normally balance each other. The Dark Side of the Force is the more seductive of the two, for its power and strength are easily obtained by the apprentice. However, the Dark Side is a cruel master, for in return for its ease of initiation, it continually drains its servants' life-energy. Among the highest achievements in the mastery of the Dark Side is the succession from student to master. While this is also true of the Light Side, the Dark Side requires that the student utterly destroy his master to prove his abilities. (SW, ROTJ, SWJ8)

Stage 1 involved a droid frame wearing just the protective exoskeleton, equipped with knife-like armor and an arm-mounted shield. Although primitive, Stage 1 dark troopers were nonetheless relentless in their pursuit of a target. Stage 2 dark troopers were to be the standard combat unit, using the same exoskeleton with additional armor plating, but were armed with assault cannons and rocket packs. Stage 3 dark troopers were never fully developed. Rom Mohc was the only known user of the Stage 3 design, which incorporated enhanced shields.

Then Abin-Ral-Xufush ordered his pirates to execute them immediately. Slave cargoes were always stolen by the Dark Wing fleet, although they were never seen again. Many believed the slaves were absorbed into the pirate fleet's crew. Note that this pirate gang is referred to as the Shadow Wing on the Wizards of the Coast website. (PP, WOTC)

Dark Woman
this mysterious Jedi Master was born with the name An'ya Kuro, but she shed the name - along with the rest of her possessions - when she became a Jedi Knight. It was the Dark Woman who discovered the existence of Ki-Adi-Mundi, when the Cerean was four years of age. Despite his age, she was able to convice the Jedi Council to train him, and he was eventually schooled by Yoda himself. The Dark Woman was also known for her inability to train Aurra Sing. Through no fault of her own, the Dark Woman could not get the future bounty hunter to become attuned to the Force, and carried Aurra's betrayal like a stone around her neck. The Dark Woman was distinguished by her silvery hair and strong features, and was known among the members of the Jedi Council for her highly unorthodox training methods, including the outright provocation of alien students. She visited Ki-Adi-Mundi on Coruscant, just before he left for Tatooine to seek out Sharad Hett, to warn him of the dangers she had forseen. Shortly afterward, there were rumors of her death, but she reappeared on Coruscant during A'Sharad Hett's training. The Dark Woman offered to take over the young Padawan's education from Ki-Adi-Mundi, in an effort to curb his anger over the death of this father. As the Old Republic began to crumble, the Dark Woman fled to the planet Cophrigim 5 to retire and allow the Force to guide her life. The Force drew her out of retirement during the Clone Wars, and the Dark Woman participated in several undercover missions. On a mission to Devaron to locate a Separatist base, she and Jedi Master Tholme were nearly killed by her former student, Aurra Sing. Aayla Secura managed to defeat the bounty hunter, and both the Dark Woman and Master Tholme were returned to Coruscant for treatment. During the Jedi Purge which was ordered by Emperor Palpatine, the Dark Woman was hunted down and executed by Darth Vader. Her body disappeared upon her death, however, and the Dark Woman became one with the Force. In the place where her body had died, a beautiful flower sprang up. Vader promptly destroyed the plant, confirming his embrace of the Dark Side of the Force. (PTR, IG1, SWO, T1, T2, ETM, HFAS, J3)

Darker
this green, reptilian beast, cloaked in red robes, was the physical manifestation of all the instinctual anger, fear, and hatred that the ancient natives of Arbra drained from themselves. These ancient Arbrans, long extinct at the height of the New Order, had attempted to rid themselves of negative feelings by trapping the negative energies in an underground cavern, kept from escaping by an unusual form of force screen. After these energies reached a certain "critical mass", they coalesced into the being known as the Darker. It lurked on the planet in a sort of hibernation for eons before the Alliance established Haven Base on Arbra. The Darker awoke and realized that the Alliance might have the technology necessary to free itself. Using a mental form of communication, it lured R2-D2 into its underground cavern and captured the droid. The Darker hoped to use its parts, along with the components of C-3PO, to deactivate the force screen and be freed. Chewbacca, who had accompanied C-3PO to locate R2-D2, tried to shoo thte Darker, but was thrown from the chamber. This allowed Chewbacca to voercome the negative thoughts used by the Darker, and the Wookiee returned to face the Darker. Chewbacca found himself aided by a small band of brave Hoojibs, and they managed to overcome the Darker's superior mental strength. C-3PO told Chewbacca that the Darker could be destroyed, and the Wookiee heaved the Darker into the force screen that had once contained it. This disintegrated the Darker, and also brought down the ancient force screen. (MC67, SWDB, PH)

Darklighter, Biggs
a boyhood friend of Luke Skywalker's on Tatooine, Biggs was born into a wealthy family of food merchants on Tatooine. His father gave him everything he wanted, except love, and Biggs struggled to fit in with the other young adults at Anchorhead. He became good friends with Luke Skywalker, however, when Luke saw through the rich-boy image to the real person inside Biggs. When Biggs' father's position and wealth provided a chance for him to attend the Academy, Biggs was hardly in a position to decline. He said goodbye to his friends and went off to the Academy, graduating with honors receiving a commission aboard the Rand Ecliptic. Biggs served under the Evader squadron aboard the Ecliptic, along with Hobbie Klivian, under Captain Heliesk. Both of them had contact with the Alliance, and helped Biggs became aware of the atrocities of the Empire. After a brief stop-over on Tatooine to say goodbye to Luke and his other friends, Biggs, Hobbie, and some others mutinied at Bestine and jumped ship to join the Alliance, with the help of Captain Heliesk. When the time came to do battle with the Empire at Yavin, Biggs was named one of the X-wing pilots in Red Squadron. On Yavin 4, he was reunited with Luke just prior to the battle. In the Alliance's final run at the Death Star's polar trench, Biggs was killed while protecting Luke's back from the onrushing Imperial TIE Fighters. Biggs was portrayed by Garrick Hagon in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, and by Kale Browne for the Star Wars Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (SW, SWR, MTS, CCG)

Darklighter, Dera
this young woman was Biggs Darklighter's younger sister. She worked secretly on the planet Tatooine, using her charisma and her skills in oration to inspire others to join the Alliance. (SWI65)

Darklighter, Gavin
a native of Tatooine, Gavin was one of the most decorated members of Rogue Squadron. He was a cousin of Biggs Darklighter, and was just ten when Biggs died at the Battle of Yavin. He was only sixteen when Wedge Antilles suggested that he be allowed to join. He was responsible for creating the emblem of Rogue Squadron, which featured a twelve-pointed, red star surrounding the blue symbol of the Alliance. Radiating from the points of the star were X-Wing fighters. When the Squadron resigned its commission with the New Republic after the liberation of Coruscant, he painted his X-Wing to resemble a krayt dragon. As the Rogues liberated Ciruscant, Gavin found himself drawn to the Bothan pilot, Asyr Sei'lar, and they became romantically involved. Their relationship was nearly shattered when Gavin's X-Wing was damaged during the capture of the Xucphra Alazhi. He limped to Halanit, only to have the Corrupter and the Thyferran Home Defense Corps track the colony down. Erisi Dlarit made him believe it was his own flight that led the Imperials to Halanit, but it was really Ysanne Isard tracing the shipment of bacta to its source. Gavin assisted the settlers as much as he could, but he was unable to stop the destruction of their outpost. After several more battles and as their relationship deepened, Gavin and Asyr decided to get married and adopt children. Unbeknownst to Gavin, Asyr was blocked in her attempt to locate a Bothan child by Borsk Fey'lya. She resolved to bring about change to the Bothan society, but was unsure how to do it. When she collided with an enmy fighter over Corvis Minor Five, everyone believed she was dead, including Gavin. He mourned her deeply, but resolved himself to continue her noble ways. He was unaware that she survived the crash, but that was Asyr's wish. In the years that followed, Gavin grew more and more into a capable leader. Gavin eventually married Sera Faleur, and the couple adopted two boys who had been orphaned by the campaign against Grand Admiral Thrawn. Later, the couple gave birth to a daughter, a third son, and eventually a second daughter. Shortly after the birth of his second daughter, Gavin was chosen to succeed Wedge Antilles and Tycho Celchu as Commander of Rogue Squadron some twenty years after the Battle of Endor, and was in command of the squadron when the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy began. Despite his military background, Gavin found himself embroiled in a political struggle when Jaina Solo joined the Rogues. Her stature as a Jedi Knight put her at odds with many members of the Senate, and Gavin was forced to placed her on extended leave. He realized his mistake, however, and allowed Jaina to fly with the Rogues during the destruction of the Yuuzhan Vong shipwomb near the remains of Sernpidal. As the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong intensified, Gavin and Rogue Squadron were called back to defend the planet Coruscant. Gavin found himself serving under the reinstated Colonel Tycho Celchu, as part of the Planetary Defense Force. (XWN, KT, BW, IR, DTO, EVR, SBS, NEGC)

Darklighter, Huff
Biggs Barklighter's father, Huff owned dozens of moisture farms on Tatooine, and bought water from other farmers at cut-rate prices. Some of the water he used in his own hydroponics facilities, while most was sold to other settlers at a high profit. He used his ability to locate water to become one of the planet's largest food magnates. In turn, he used his wealth to make sure Biggs got everything he deserved from life. Huff was not above bribing the local officials - both terrestrial and Imperial - to maintain his stature. He held his son in highest regard, and truly believed that Biggs was the only hero of the Battle of Yavin. Huff went so far as to say that Wedge Antilles was less than a hero for leaving the battle, despite the fact that Wedge was ordered out by Luke Skywalker. Huff tried to obtain ownership of the Lars moisture farm on Tatooine by initiating an alien landowner tax. The tax was geared toward breaking the alien Throgg's financial reserves, but Gavin's father intervened and bought the farm before Huff could enforce the tax. Huff's dealings with the Imperial prefect on Tatooine allowed him a greater latitude in his dealings, and he worked hard to keep his competition at bay. However, Huff wasn't perfect. He was tricked and swindled by Lirin Banolt, but managed to obtain an Imperial data disk containing information on the Eidolon Base weapons cache. The plans were stolen from his residence, but were eventually recovered by Rogue Squadron. The Essential Guide to Characters lists Huff's name as Hutt. (MTS, EGC, XWN, XWBT)

Laval, though, bore three children for Huff. (BW)

Darklighter, Rasca
this woman was Gavin Darklighter's sister. She opposed the military build-up created by the Bothans in the wake of the death of Thrawn and the Caamasi Incident.

They named their new ship the Retribution and planned to become smugglers, but Shrulldike eventually turned to running slaves for a living. Darkmere chafed at this course of action, and eventually defeated Shrulldike in combat to take control of the ship. Evram decided to challenge Shrulldike after meeting Nelson Flin and Arsitta Kushoe. Kushoe convinced Evram to support the Alliance, and he found himself unable to continue running slaves. He reformed his crew, and began more respectable cargoes. He also passed on important information to Nelson Flin and the Alliance, using his underworld contacts to gather data on Imperial movements in the sector. (CRO)

Darkmere, Garreck
this young man was Evram Darkmere's younger brother. Garreck was forced to live in orphanages after their mother's death, being too young to be conscripted into the military. (CRO)

Darkness
this was one of the Nebulon-B frigates which were used by the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XW)

Darkness on the Land
a song written and played by Annadale Fayde. It was first released as part of a compilation of the same name, and has been rated scarlet by the Imperial Board of Culture. (GG9)

Darknon Beacon
this ancient, hyperspace jump beacon was used in the early days of interstellar travel to guide spacers to Darknon Station and avoid the Itani Nebula. By the era of the New Order, the Beacon was little more than a piece of interstellar junk, stationary between the Station and the Nebula. (PSPG)

Darknon Station
this decrepit space station was originally a way station for travelers who were moving along the Itani Run. Over time, as the Itani Run became less and less used, Darknon Station evolved into a backwater haven for smugglers and independent spacers. At the time of the Battle of Yavin, only six of its eighteen docking bays were operational, and there were limited repair services and accommodations. There were a multitude of rumors that the space station was haunted, and the station's controller, Rexis Lovech, was mentally unstable. Most spacers believed that the Station was subsidized by the Empire, because an armed, monthly supply ship stopped at Darknon for many years. They unaware of the secret research lab hidden inside the Itani Nebula. (PSPG)

Darkon III
this planet was used as a stopover point by Dannen Lifehold, during his travels between Evas VI and Dohu. (SWJ1)

Darksaber
the name given to the modified Death Star design created by Bevel Lemelisk for Durga tha Hutt, the Darksaber station was an elongated version of the original. Durga used his pet taurills to help steal the plans from the original Death Star from the hidden computer files that were maintained by the New Republic on Coruscant. The Darksaber station was stripped of a number of unnecessary items, including TIE fighter hangers, crew quarters, AT-AT storage, and docking bays. Lemelisk rightly believed that Durga had no need of these; he just needed a superweapon with which to control the galaxy. The rounded cylinder of the Darksaber housed a longer, more powerful superlaser, which drew increased power from the station's existing generators simply because they didn't have to support all of the other systems. The superlaser was aligned along the longer axis of the station (much the way Umak Leth mounted the superlaser on the Eclipse-class Star Destroyer), and when activated the entire station and its beam resembled a huge, spaceborne lightsaber. Thus, Lemelisk dubbed the station "Darksaber." The Darksaber was constructed with the materials collected by the Orko SkyMine ships Durga had built. The living spaces of the station were designed to house hundreds of Hutts and their retinues. The project was beset with mishaps, due to the frugality of Durga, the ineptness of Sulamar, and the distractibility of the taurills who did the construction. Only Lemelisk's persistence kept it moving. However, when Durga finally took control of the ship, his frugality got the best of him. The station never made it out of the Hoth asteroid belt, as its superlaser failed to punch a path through the space rubble. The Darksaber was crushed between two huge planetoids and exploded. (DS)

Darkspace
this was the Basic translation of the Yuuzhan Vong term for hyperspace. (DJ)

Darkstaff
this ancient Sith artifact was believed to have been the cause of the disappearance of the planet Cularin and the entire Cularin System, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. Len Markus was observed removing something from the Cularin System's asteroid belt, an event which preceded the appearance of strange creatures hiding among the asteroids. Shortly afterward, the Cularin System disappeared for several years, before reappearing just as suddenly. According to ancient tomes unearthed on Almas, the Darkstaff was originally discovered by Darth Rivan, who had strange dreams about being called by the artifact. Rivan believed that it was the Darkstaff that drew him to Almas and the Cularin System, hoping to use him as a way to leave the system. Further investigation led Ruivan to believe that the Darkstaff was not intentionally created, but was rather the byproduct of another experiment. Measuring a meter in length and four centimeters in diameter, the Darkstaff seemed to consume any light around it. It also consumed any Force energy around it, literally feeding on the Force. The Darkstaff, according to Rivan's dreams, had already caused some ancient tragedy in the Cularin System, and had been hidden away to prevent any further catastrophe. The nexus of dark side power, he believed, was the aftermath of this event. The Darkstaff wanted to be discovered by Rivan so that he could use it as a weapon against his enemies, so it invaded his dreams. Its release would allow the Darkstaff to gain power, both for itself and over Rivan, until it eventually consumed Rivan himself. Rivan, however, refused to go in search of the artifact, fearing that its release would cause great damage to the galaxy. Millennia later, Darth Rivan's writings were discovered by the Jedi Knights who built the Almas Academy. Word of the Darkstaff reached the ears of Len Markus, who set out to locate it. Many believe that Markus actually found the Darkstaff, and that its release from captivity was the cause of the disappearance of the entire Cularin System, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. (WOTC)

Darkstar, Shannur
this Jedi Knight was part of the archaeological team which was assembled by Ermin Phin-Mar, some 3,000 years before the Battle of Naboo, to investigate the ancient Pelgrin civilization. It was Darkstar and her fellow Jedi who discovered that the Oracle at Pelgrin had a deep connection to the Force, and eventually brought the Oracle back to life by meditating in one of its upper chambers. As the Oracle surged to life, Darkstar had a vision of the future in which she foresaw a great battle between the Jedi Knights and a group of Sith adherents. Jedi historians later inferred that she had seen a vision of the Battle of Ruusan. (PJSB)

Darkstick
this traditional Kerestian weapon resembled a flat piece of metal about two centimeters thick, seven centimeters wide, and fifteen centimeters long. One end was rounded, while the other was squared off. This part of the weapon was the handle, and had a power stud located about midway along its length. When depressed, the stud activated the weapon, extruding a pure black blade of light that bent slightly as it projects outward. The activated weapon resembled a boomerang, and could be wielded in the hand or thrown. The deep black blade could cut through most any material, making it difficult to catch when thrown. Some Kerestians created darksticks that had hollow tips, in which they could place poisons or explosives. The name "darkstick" came from Kerestian legends that said a being's soul was resigned to eternal darkness upon the death of the body. Thus, the darkstick was used to deliver another being into the Great Darkness. Note that The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology indicates that the blade of a darkstick was forged from lightweight metals, which were impregnated with light-absorbing cells to literally create darkness around the blade. (GG12, NEGW)

DarkStryder
this was the name used by Moff Kentor Sarne to describe the immense creature that was created by the Kathol, the original inhabitants of Kathol Sector, to protect the traces of their vanished civilization by guarding the Lifewell. The name given to DarkStryder by the ancient Kathol was virtually unpronounceable by modern species. An fifteen-meter tall, insectoid thing with thin-legged segments and a vicious skull, DarkStryder was fueled by an ancient technology that spewed violet light whenever it opened its mouth. DarkStryder was essentially a huge, bio-organic supercomputer, designed to be highly intelligent and able to react to any situation. It evolved over the millennia of its confinement on the planet Kathol, building a huge fortress and learning the Kathol's bio-engineering technology to create servants to help it run the fortress. Eventually, DarkStryder desired to leave the planet, wishing to explore the galaxy. To this end, DarkStryder agreed to help Moff Sarne gain power through the use of what became known as DarkStryder technology, in return for a working, hyperspace-capable ship. Sarne realized that this would be dangerous, and found new ways to hold off DarkStryder's departure. When the crew of the FarStar arrived at Kathol and tried to destroy Sarne, DarkStryder saw its chances of escape fading. It sent a variety of failed, experimental creatures against the New Republic's forces, but was unable to defeat them. In the end, Halbret managed to reopen the Lifewell and set the Kathol free, and DarkStryder was destroyed. When DarkStryder died, the fortress which it had built collapsed in on itself, utterly destroying any trace of the bio-techology of the Kathol. (E)

DarkStryder
this unusual form of technology was discovered in the Kathol Rift by Kentor Sarne, but he had no idea how it worked or what it did. This organic technology was originally created by the ancient Kathol, and had been maintained by the bio-engineered construct known as DarkStryder. DarkStryder had, in fact, managed to learn some aspects of the technology in the millennia which it had been gaurding the Lifewell, but was unable to fathom it all. Sarne spent Imperial resources - without reporting their true mission - trying to determine the operation of various pieces of DarkStryder technology, but teams of scientists and technicians were still unable to determine its use. In the end, the technology was lost when DarkStryder was killed during the Battle of Kathol. The fortress which DarkStryder had been protecting collapsed in on itself, unable to survive without DarkStryder's support. The technology hidden within the fortress was also destroyed. (DARK, KR, E)

DarkStryder Campaign

DarkStryder Fire Creature
this unusual apparition was formed by a piece of the DarkStryder technology, and resembled a living cone of flame. It could reach sizes of twenty meters in height, and was controlled by what appeared to be a coil of metallic cord. The bounty hunter Mist obtained control of the DarkStryder device, and attempted to use the fire creature against the crew of the FarStar. (KR)

DarkStryder Incident
this was the term used by the New Republic Intelligence Agency to describe the events which started with the Siege of Kal'Shebbol and ended with the Battle of Kathol. With the destruction of DarkStryder and the Kathol technologies, the NRI decided that it was in the best public interest to release no information on the events. They feared that the galaxy, which had barely survived the Galactic Civil War, would panic if it discovered that unknown technologies and powerful, ancient races were still at large in the galaxy. (E)

Darktrin, Finn
this man was an undercover agent who worked for the Empire during the height of the New Order. He held the rank of Commander in the Imperial armed forces at the time of the Battle of Yavin, and was often under the supervision of Darth Vader himself, working to infiltrate the ranks of the Alliance and learn the whereabouts of Alliance bases and personnel. One aspect of his double agent role was to make contacts in the criminal underworld, and Finn was able to earn the respect of the Feeorin pirate Nym. About a year after the Battle of Yavin, Finn was assigned to recover the holocron which had been left behind at the Alliance base on Dantooine. In order to complete the mission, Finn insinuated himself close to Leia Organa, and was able to earn the mission as an Alliance agent. He needed someone who could handle Dantooine's varied ecosystem, and was able to recruit Dusque Mistflier to the Alliance's cause. Unknown to Dusque, Finn accomplished this by having her partner, Tendau Nandon, executed on suspicion of being an Alliance supporter. Finn then preyed upon her emotions, knowing that she would want to avenge the death of her friend. His hunches proved accurate, and they set out on their mission. During the trip to Dantooine and the struggle to find the ancient Jedi base, Finn and Dusque began to fall in love, although neither would admit to it. Finn was at odds with himself over the emotion, since he knew that he would have to either convince to rejoin the Empire or kill her at the end of the mission. On Dantooine, Dusque was able to help him recover the holocron. However, as he tried to download its contents and transmit them to his nearest contact, Dusque discovered his actions and destroyed the holocron. Unable to allow her to return to the Alliance with the knowledge of his betrayal, Finn stabbed Dusque in the chest and then fled. He returned to Vader with only a few of the name hidden on the holocron, and expected to be executed for his failure. Vader, however, sensed a growing anger in him and allowed him to live. Finn retained a place in his heart for Dusque, however, and grudgingly refused to give away the location of the Alliance's base on Corellia. (ROD)

this was the nickname of one of the four clone troopers in the Delta Squad of commandos, which participated in the Battle of Geonosis. Officially designated RC-1136, Darman was the only member of the squad to survive the fighting. A demolitions expert, Darman was noted for his use of a Wookiee bowcaster on missions. In the wake of the fighting on Geonosis, Darman was reassigned to Omega Squad, and dispatched to Qiilura to locate Ovolot Qail Uthan. In order to infiltrate the planet, Omega Squad flew in on a renovated Narsh crop-sprayer, but the vehicle caught a bird in one of its engines and plummeted to the ground. Although the rest of Omega Squd landed safely, Darman was thrown several hundred meters from the crash site. He sustained several injuries, including severe damage to his right leg, but was able to recover. As he made his way to one of the pre-assigned rendezvous points, he met up with Etain Tur-Mukan. Given his military training and Etain's Jedi training, Darman was surprised to learn that the two were attracted to each other. He liked her presence, and made every effort to support her and protect her as they made their way back to the rest of Omega Squad. He was also fascinated by her lightsaber, but realized that she needed more melee combat skills. He located two poles and sparred with her in combat, honing her lightsaber skills while enhancing both their fighting skills at the same time. During the final assault on Uthan's facilities, Darman was forced to admit that he was apprehensive about confined spaces, when he and his teammates were forced to enter the facility through a series of gdan tunnels. After the succesful capture of Uthan and their extraction to a rendezvous point, Darman was surprised to learn that Etain had arranged for him to stay behind on Qiilura to help with the clean-up efforts. Darman had to refuse, however, opting to remain with Omega Squad and levaving Qiilura behind for another battle. (RCHC)

Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Darnada was invovled in a meeting with Hath Monchar, who had planned to sell information on the upcoming blockade of Naboo to the highest bidder. Darnada, whose business was more inclined toward the sale of spice and other drugs, could not believe the wild tale of the Neimoidian, and sent him back to the Trade Federation. Unfortunately, Hath Monchar was telling the truth, and Darth Sidious was unable to allow even Darnada to survive after hearing it. Darth Sidious sent his apprentice, Darth Maul, to clean up any loose ends caused by Hath Monchar's duplicity. Maul killed Feen Fenoob, who owed Darnada a huge sum of credits, in order to be captured and brought before the Dug. His passivity was cast aside upon meeting with Darnada, and Maul executed almost everyone aboard the space station, including Darnada himself. Maul then destroyed the station, thereby eliminating any possible ties back to his master. (DM)

Darpen, Tomer
this man, a native of the planet Commenor, served the New Republic as a councilor and liaison to new worlds. Prior to being a diplomat, Darpen served with the Tierfon Yellow Aces, but his skills as a pilot were minimal. He was always running sabacc games and selling liquor, but never seemed to do anything truly illegal. He was given the nickname "Ejector" by his squadron-mates, including Wes Janson, during a mission on a low-gravity moon. Darpen's Y-Wing was shot up and had lost most of its flight controls, but he managed to land it on the ground. When the fighter came to a stop after rolling several times, the ejector seat on the Y-Wing finally activated, sending Darpen into space. The moon's low gravity couldn't hold him, and he achieved escape velocity and had to be rescued by a shuttle. He was given the honorary rank of Ace for surviving the crash. Starfighter Command gave him the opportunity to look elsewhere for a role, and he was tapped by the Diplomatic Corps. Upon the discovery of the world of Adumar, Darpen was selected to be the liaison between the Adumari government and the New Republic diplomat to Adumar, which turned out to be Wedge Antilles. However, Darpen was operating on his own agenda, rather than that of the New Republic, when he started dealing with the Adumari. Darpen wanted to ensure that the planet and its people joined the New Republic at any cost, rather than assessing the pros and cons of their admission. When the Adumari opened up negotiations to both the Republic and the Empire, Darpen was forced even further from New Republic policies in order to gain the trust of the Adumari. When Wedge refused to play by the Adumari rules and shoot down every pilot who challenged him, Darpen became furious. When Wedge's tactics of using low-powered lasers in starfighter combat - allowing the Adumari to learn from their mistakes, and starting to modify the Adumari mindset - Darpen became irate. Darpen began working with the perator of Cartann, Pekaelic ke Teldan, to establish a world government, but pushed the perator down a path which had Cartann as the center of the government. He urged the perator to take control of the planet, with out without the consent of the other nations. Wedge opposed this new form of government, adn refused to abide by Darpen's rules. Darpen then told the perator of Cartann that Wedge was acting on his own, and was no longer worthy of consideration. The perator ordered Wedge's execution, which forced Wedge and the other pilots with him to flee to the Yedagon Confederacy in order to prepare for the war Darpen had instigated. In the end, Hallis Saper revealed that she had evidence of Darpen's schemes, which forced the perator of Cartann to re-evaluate his position. Unable to face the dishonor he had perpetrated at Darpen's insistent, the perator abdicated in favor of his son, who promised to implement a fairer model of world government. Darpen was arrested by New Republic Intelligence agents and imprisoned for his treachery. (SOA)

When he finally couldn't stand it any longer, sometime after the Battle of Yavin, he stowed away aboard Platt Okeefe's Last Chance and ended up on Cloud City. Platt believed he was a spy for either the Imperial Security Bureau or BoSS, but eventually came to believe Darrik's story. She agreed to help a fellow native of Brentaal in exchange for his labors. In return, Darrik became something of an apprentice. While on Cloud City, Darrik was able to shoot the Rodian bounty hunter Tolga before he could kill Platt, earning her trust and admiration. The pair then defeated Beylyssa before traveling to Tatooine to meet up with Tru'eb Cholakk. It was Darrik's quick thinking that helped them free Tru'eb from Major Birket, allowing them to complete their deal with Tharrand. Platt agreed to keep Darrik on as an apprentice. (IDC)

Darrin Arkanian
this Sullustan Jedi Knight was an idealist and a dreamer. He cherished life above all else, and strove to be a model of peace and contemplation. Arkanian and a small team of Jedi were dispatched to the Lahara Sector, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, to rescue the crew of the Iron Tether. The ship had been attacked by Separatist forces and driven into the Cowl Crucible. The Jedi found that the ship's crew had survived, and returned them to Coruscant. When Emperor Palpatine began hunting down the Jedi, Arkanian went into hiding, and took Corwin Shelvay as an apprentice. They were branded as outlaws and fugitives, and they roamed the Outer Rim in searching of surviving Jedi Knights. When Corwin was captured by High Inquisitor Tremayne, Arkanian infiltrated Coruscant to rescue his student. He was caught by Tremayne, and they engaged in a lightsaber duel. Arkanian lost, and was fatally injured before Shelvay could rescue him. Arkanian died a few days after they escaped from Coruscant. (SWG8, GG9, HNN5)

Commander Darron was given command of the Direption in order to secure the borders of the Hegemony, but on the condition that he raze the village on Liinade III which the ship's former commander, Captain Rensen, refused to destroy. Darron believed that the loss of life was as vile as Rensen did, and arranged for the inhabitants to evacuate the village before the bombardment occurred. Darron managed to survive Krennel's wrath by explaining to Krennel that the dishomed villagers would do more to spread the word of Krennel's supremacy than dead villagers would. In a twist of fate, Krennel dispatched Darron and the Direption to protect Liinade III from attack by the New Republic, when the clone of Ysanne Isard warned him of the attack. Krennel's forces, under Darron's command, nearly defeated the New Republic's fleet until the Freedom arrived to save the Republic fleet. Darron was forced to surrender or lose his ships. (IR)

Distinguished by the high-collared, black body armor he always wore, Darth Bandon was noted for his bald head and pale, white skin. He was eventually killed during the hunt for the Star Forge, when the Jedi Knights finally discovered its location. Bandon was on Korriban at the time, and was defeated in combat when the Jedi managed to infiltrate the Sith academy. (KOTOR, SWDB)

Darth Bane
this ancient Sith Lord was the last of his kind to survive the Battle of Ruusan, a catastrophic struggle that consumed his order some 1,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Bane was a tall, bald man with heavy muscles and an intimidating gaze. He had trained under Lord Qordis, but never actually completed his training. He was an evil man, and gathered strength from killing young children before their parents' eyes, then murdering the parents. During the Battle of Ruusan, Darth Bane had not agreed with Lord Kaan's to use a thought bomb. He managed to escape its devasation and flee to Onderon's moon, Dxun, haunted by the specters of his former master as Lord Kaan. On Dxun, he discovered Exar Kun's Sith holocron, which he secured after being beset and infected by orbalisks. The orbalisks saved him from the attack of a skreev, while Bane's own strength in the Dark Side of the Force allowed him to control it. He later used the skreev to escape to Onderon. Recognizing that the Sith order was doomed to fail if it became too large, Bane waited until all the other Sith were destroyed by their brethren or the Jedi Knights, then established a set of rules that were dominated by the pretense that there could only be two Sith active in the galaxy at any time: a Master and an apprentice. Eventually, Bane took his own apprentice, and set his new order in motion. Future Sith Lords were taught the virtues of patience, planning, and secrecy, and each was to take on the title of Darth.

Darth Malak
this was the title adopted by the former Jedi Knight Malak, after he learned to wield the Dark Side of the Force from his friend and mentor, Revan. As they led the Sith forces into battle, Darth Revan and Darth Malak conquered a number of star systems before the Jedi Knights were able to launch a counterattack. In a bold move, the Jedi managed to trap the pair without the support of their troops, and Darth Revan was believed to have been killed in the struggle along with many Jedi Knights. History has hidden the exact details of the battle, and it was unclear whether Darth Revan was killed by the Jedi or by his own apprentice. Some historians believed that Malak was the stronger of the two Sith Lords, and either survived because he was stronger or smarter or more devious than Darth Revan. It was later discovered that Darth Revan had been captured by the Old Republic, and was given a memory wipe to remove any traces of his allegiance to the Sith. Regardless of the exact details, Darth Malak took up the mission of his former master and continued to wage war against the Old Republic. He was distinguished by the unusual face shield he wore, an apparatus that was required after he lost his lower jaw in a lightsaber battle. His speech was assisted by a vocabulator, and his voice had a distinctly metallic sound to it. Unlike the prior Sith forays led by Darth Revan against Republic systems, Darth Malak destroyed worlds rather than capturing them, ensuring that vital resources were no longer available to either side of the battle. In the tradition of the Sith, Darth Malak took Darth Bandon as his apprentice, and the pair worked from a base on Korriban for many years. His forces were believed to have been armed by Czerka Corporation, although such a link was never verified. It was eventually learned that much of his war machine was produced in the holds of the Star Forge, which he had usurped from the Rakata and modified to produce Sith Fighters and other weapons. Darth Malak powered the Star Forge with captive Jedi Knights, drawing on their powers to augment the massive input of the Unknown World's sun. With the defection of Admiral Saul Karath, Darth Malak acquired the Leviathan, which served as his personal flagship, and he appeared to be invincible. In an epic battle, the Jedi Knights and the forces of the Old Republic set out to destroy the Star Forge and eliminate the threat of Darth Malak. The battle waged for a long time, until Darth Malak was killed in battle and the Star Forge was destroyed. (KOTOR, WOTC, SWDB)

Darth Maul
this Sith Dark Lord was a member of the Zabrak species, and was the apprentice of Darth Sidious, the mysterious force behind the Trade Federation's blockade of Naboo. Sidious explained to Maul that he found him as a baby on the planet Iridonia, and took him in when his parents disappeared. Note that other sources describe him as an Iridonian. Over the years, Sidious discovered that Maul's inner self was full of anger and fury, and trained the youth in the ways of the Sith. Sidious used sensory deprivation and other unusual punishments to harden Maul's anger into a solid core that grew stronger when it touched the Dark Side of the Force. Whenever Maul failed to remain alert, or showed any kind of mercy, Darth Sidious punished him severely. Maul later consrtucted his own two-bladed lightsaber much like Exar Kun did some 3,950 years earlier, although Maul's lightsaber was actually two lightsabers fused together. Each had its own separate components, allowing him to use a single blade if the weapon became damaged. Darth Maul was obvious by his heavily tattooed, horn-studded face, piercing yellow eyes, and rotting teeth. In his first true mission without his Master's help, Darth Maul was sent to Dorvalla to destroy both Lommite Limited and InterGalactic Ores, in an effort to obtain access to the lommite mines for the Trade Federation. After Hath Monchar fled the Federation in an effort to sell information on the Federation's plans to blockade Naboo, Maul tracked the Neimoidian down and executed him, cutting off any chance of the information reaching the Senate. Sidious later dispatched Maul when he learned from the Neimoidians that two Jedi Knights had been dispatched to negotiate a settlement to the blockade. When the Jedi - Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi - fled with Queen Amidala to Tatooine, Darth Maul followed at a safe distance. He nearly defeated Qui-Gon, but was unable to control him before they fled for Coruscant. Not to be outdone, Sidious then sent Maul to capture them on Naboo. There, while Queen Amidala's forces attempted to capture Nute Gunray, Darth Maul confronted both Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon in the Theed palace's power generation station. In a fierce battle, the three swordsman battled to a draw before they were separated by the station's laser defense systems. When the defenses dropped, Maul and Qui-Gon were left alone to battle, and the Sith Lord defeated the Jedi with a quick jab of his blade. However, his victory was short-lived. When Obi-Wan was able to escape the laser system, he attacked with a renewed sense of purpose. His exuberence nearly cost him his life, when Darth Maul forced the young Jedi over the edge of a power shaft. Obi-Wan recovered and, using the Force to recover Qui-Gon's lightsaber, caught Maul off-guard. The Jedi sliced his lightsaber through Maul's midsection. The fatally injured Sith Lord toppled into the shaft and was lost forever. Darth Maul was acted by Ray Park and voiced by Peter Serafinowicz in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, IG1, JDM, SWK, DMS, DMSH, OWS)

Darth Plagueis
this was the Sith Lord who trained Darth Sidious in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force. Chancellor Palpatine related the story of Darth Plagueis to Anakin Skywalker, shortly after the First Battle of Coruscant. According to Palpatine, Darth Plagueis had the ability to influence the actions of the midi-chlorians, and could manipulate them in such a way as to keep those beings closest to him from dying. It was even said that Plagueis had the ability to create life. Ultimately, however, Plagueis became blinded by the pursuit of power, and was killed in his sleep by his apprentice. As Palpatine retold the story, which he referred as a legend called The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise, it was ironic that Plagueis had the power to save others from death, but not himself. The story of Darth Plagueis was one of the primary reasons it was believed that Anakin chose to ally himself with Palpatine, since the young Jedi Knight was having visions of the death of his wife, Padme' Amidala. (LEV, IS3, E3N)

Darth Revan
this was the self-bestowed title used by the former Jedi Knight Revan, during his campaigns against the Jedi and the Old Republic during the Great Sith War. As Darth Revan, he took his friend and former Jedi Malak as his apprentice, and they quickly began conquering star systems throughout the galaxy. The Jedi Order dispatched a group of agents, led by Bastila Shan, to lay a trap for the Sith Lords, and Darth Revan was believed to have been killed in battle. History clouded the details of the battle, and it was unclear whether Revan was killed by the Jedi or by his own apprentice. In actuality, Revan was simply captured by the Jedi and held for reconditioning. After a complete memory wipe, Darth Revan ceased to exist. (SWI67, KOTOR, SWDB)

Darth Rivan
this ancient Sith Lord built a fortress on the planet Almas, despite its inhospitable atmosphere. He created the kaluthin grass to modify the planet's landscape and atmosphere, and managed to survive for many decades on the planet before being driven off Almas by the Jedi Knights during the Sith Wars. He later perished in the Battle of Ruusan. Analysis of the fortress performed shortly after the Battle of Naboo revealed that the dome on the fortress was well over 1,000 years old, indicating that Rivan himself was of a very advanced age at the time of its construction. This led many Jedi scholars to believe that Rivan was not of human origin. (LFC, WOTC)

Darth Sidious
this Dark Lord of the Sith was the driving force behind the Trade Federation, during the time it tried to subjugate the world of Naboo. He had control of specific elements of the Galactic Senate, and with the assistance of some 200 years of preparation by previous Masters - including his own mentor, Darth Plagueis - put in motion an intricate set of schemes to take control of the galaxy. Sidious had trained his apprentice, Darth Maul, and was ready to bring his plans to fruition when Chancellor Valorum dispatched two Jedi Knights to Naboo to negotiate a settlement. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi thwarted his initial plans, and forced him to send Darth Maul after the pair. Meanwhile, Sidious continued to manipulate the Neimoidians, pushing the situation at Naboo as far as he could. When Queen Amidala returned to Naboo to deal with the situation herself, Sidious saw his carefully laid plans fall apart as the Neimoidians were defeated and the planet freed of its blockade, and Darth Maul was killed in battle by Obi-Wan Kenobi. However, Sidious was never worried about these events, as he had several contingency plans. Among these plans was the recruiting of Count Dooku to serve as his new apprentice. Dooku, known as Darth Tyranus to the Sith, arranged to manipulate large numbers of star systems to secede from the Old Republic under the guise of the Separatist movement. Tryanus also began working with the major business guilds - such as the Commerce Guild and the Trade Federation - to re-establish a droid-based war machine. When the Battle of Geonosis was completed, the most important of Darth Sidious' plans had come to fruition: the acceptance of a huge army of clone troopers by the Old Republic miltary. The sudden onset of the Clone Wars allowed Sidious' alter ego - Chancellor Palpatine himself - to gain unprecedented control over both the Galactic Senate and the Grand Army of the Republic. During the prelude to the Battle of Geonosis, Count Dooku was even so bold as to tell Obi-Wan Kenobi that the galaxy was under the control of a Sith Lord, but Obi-Wan refused to believe it. Despite his own beliefs, Obi-Wan brought this revelation back to the Jedi Council. The possibility of Sidious' existence served to divide the attention of the Jedi Order, pulling it further apart. Some members felt that Sidious was a real threat, while others believed that Darth Sidious was Count Dooku's alias. Obi-Wan's evidence of Darth Sidious' existence was borne out nearly three years later, when Nute Gunray's mechno-chair was captured on Cato Neimoidia. Recordings of the Neimoidian's conversations with Darth Sidious explained many of the Dark Lord's machinations. The Jedi began an intense search for Sidious, starting with the craftsbeings who devised the mechno-chair's systems, and leading them to an abandoned building in The Works district of Coruscant. However, the investigation was cut short when Coruscant was attacked by General Grievous, allowing Sidious to "escape" momentarily. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Palpatine revealed himself to be Darth Sidious to Anakin Skywalker, after drawing the Jedi into his schemes. After the so-called Jedi Rebellion, Palpatine assumed control of the entire galaxy, combining his two personae into the role of Emperor. (SW1, AOTC, LEV, GC)

Darth Sion
this ancient Sith Lord was one of the most unusual of his kind. Active during the Great Sith War, Darth Sion was distinguished by his unusual body, which appeared to be pieced together from various human remains. In reality, Darth Sion's skeleton and body had been completely shattered and reformed using the Dark Side of the Force, and was held together by pure force of will. He was in a continual state of agony, and existed only because of his hatred and his devotion to the Dark Side. (OWS)

Darth Tyranus
this was the Sith title given to Count Dooku, after he became the apprentice of Darth Sidious. Very few beings knew of this relationship, although Jango Fett understood it. Dooku was surprised when he was approached by Sidious, who challenged Dooku to channel his feelings for the Old Republic and the Jedi Order into better uses. Rather than forcing Dooku into a lightsaber duel to the death, Sidious took Dooku under his wing and discussed their philosophies, ultimately coming to a point where they separate visions of the galaxy's future were melded into a single goal. Under the name of Darth Tyranus, the Count usurped the work of Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, who had been a confidante of Dooku's at the Jedi Order. When Sifo-Dyas revealed that he had put the plans in place to create a clones army for the Old Republic, Dooku relayed the information to Darth Sidious. Sidious ordered Dooku to eliminated Sifo-Dyas and assume control of the clone project, as part of his final test of loyalty. After killing Sifo-Dyas, Tyranus recruited Jango Fett on the moons of Bogden, to serve as the genetic basis for their clone army. Working as Darth Tyranus some ten years before the Battle of Geonosis, Dooku made contact with the Kaminoan people. It was inferred that Dooku worked for Sifo-Dyas in arranging for the creation of the clone troopers who would later serve in the Army of the Republic, but this not the case. Darth Sidious, who was none other than Chancellor Palpatine, knew that Dooku and Sifo-Dyas had once been friends. It had been Sifo-Dyas' idea all along the build the clone army, hoping that it would aid the Jedi Order in turning back the growing tide of Dark Side influence. When Sidious learned of these plans, he realized that the clones could be used to his advantage. He then ordered Darth Tyranus to eliminate Sifo-Dyas - as proof of his loyalty to Darth Sidious - so that the Jedi Order and the Republic would not find out about the clones until Sidious was ready for them to know. Although Obi-Wan Kenobi's discovery of the clones on Kamino was unexpected, Sidious allowed Tyranus to continue to manipulate the Confederacy of Independent Systems as Count Dooku. Sidious then turned his attention to Anakin Skywalker, knowing that young Skywalker was much stronger in the Force than Tyranus. After arranging to be captured by General Grievous during the First Battle of Coruscant, Palpatine then ensured that Dooku would have to face Obi-Wan and Anakin in battle. Although Tyranus' powers were more than a match for Obi-Wan, he was unable to defeat young Skywalker. Tyranus remained resolute, however, believing that his Master would rescue him in the end. Sidious had no such plans, however, and went as far as ordering Anakin to kill Tyranus. The young Jedi managed to acquire Tyranus' lightsaber and swiftly beheaded the treacherous former Jedi. Palpatine then put into motion his plans to take Anakin as his new apprentice. Darth Tyranus was portrayed by Christopher Lee in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (TCG1, BF1, AOTCN, SWI63, LEV, IS3)

Darth Vader
when Anakin Skywalker came under the tutelage of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, he was led down a path to the Dark Side of The Force. Despite the teachings of his friend, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin felt that the teachings of Palpatine led to quicker realization of the powers of The Force. Palpatine also twisted the truth of the situation to his needs, ensuring that every action of the Galactic Senate and the Jedi Order seemed to be part of a plot by the Jedi to take control of the galaxy. Anakin eventually gave in to Palpatine's urgings, and agreed to become Darth Vader, apprentice to the Dark Lord Darth Sidious. This forced Kenobi to confront Anakin, and in a lightsaber duel, Kenobi forced Anakin into a pit of molten rock on Mustafar, at the conclusion of the Clone Wars. It was at this point that Anakin Skywalker was totally consumed by the Dark Side. He was rescued from the fire by Darth Sidious' agents, but had lost both legs and an arm in the duel, and had suffered incredible burns over much of his body. In order for the Sith Lord to keep Anakin alive, medical droids had to create a life support system that encased his entire body. It had to recreate certain limbs, as well as replace his lungs. At the Emperor's direction, the life-support suit was made as evil-looking as could be. The all-black body armor became Vader's main weapon, as it instilled fear in all who saw it. The Sith Lord also began training Vader in the ancient Sith lore, and Vader became the last of the Sith Dark Lords. As such, he became even more Palpatine's tool, able to create fear just by the mention of his name and the mysterious Sith teachings behind it. Early HoloNet news reports portrayed Vader as a hero of the New Order, having "stood against the rebellious leadership of the Jedi Knights, and nearly dying in order to protect the citizens of the galaxy." Palpatine sent Vader to support Grand Moff Tarkin during the time when the first Death Star was being readied for use. Vader oversaw the mission to recover the stolen plans, but was unable to get Princess Leia to divulge their location. He used the Millennium Falcon as a guide, and followed the fleeing ship to Yavin 4, only to lose the Death Star to the Alliance. Vader's ship was disabled during the battle, but he regained control. When the Emperor heard of the destruction of the first Death Star, he removed Vader's living right hand as punishment, and replaced it with a cybernetic prosthesis. Shortly thereafter, Vader went to Circarpous V to investigate the appearance of Leia Organa on the planet, as well as to locate the Kaiburr crystal. In an amazing duel with Luke Skywalker, Vader was hard-pressed to defeat Luke. Luke succeeded in defeating Vader, and even cut off the Dark Lord's right arm with his own lightsaber. In his dazed state, Vader fell into a sacrificial weel on the Temple of Pomojema and was lost. He survived, however, drawing on the Dark Side of the Force for support and strength. Once Palpatine was aware that Anakin Skywalker's son had survived and posed a possible threat to the Empire, he told Vader of the existence of Luke Skywalker, in an effort to completely gain control of any vestiges of Anakin Skywalker and convert them to Darth Vader. However, this plan backfired on Palpatine, as the remnants of Anakin began to surface. Following the relevation of Luke's relationship to Anakin, and the loss of Luke at Cloud City, Palpatine began to give Vader menial tasks, and tried to keep him away from Luke. He could not, however, and the part of Vader that was still Anakin continued to assert itself. The Battle of Endor was a turning point for Darth Vader. It was then that Luke Skywalker surrendered to Vader, and began to try and turn the Dark Lord back to the Light Side. The darker parts of Vader resisted, but Luke's love and devotion to his father strengthened the spirit of Anakin. When the Emperor was forced to kill Luke, Anakin was awakened, and with Vader's mechanized strength, he threw the Emperor into a power shaft, destroying Palpatine and the Empire. Darth Vader also ceased to exist at this point, as Anakin was able to return from the Dark Side. However, the struggle with the Emperor left the life support systems inoperable, and Anakin died before Luke could save him. Darth Vader was portrayed by David Prowse, and Vader's voice was provided by James Earl Jones, in all three Star Wars films. Darth Vader was also portrayed by Brock Peters for the Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back Radio Dramas on National Public Radio. (SW, SWR, ESB, ESBR, ROTJ, RESB, E3N)

She became close friends with Ranna Gorjaye and Thanis Gul-Rah during the hunt for Moff Sarne, but strongly distrusted Krudar. She believed that her relationship with Thanis was more romantic than it actually was. (DARK, KO, KR)

Dashade
this race of reptilian humanoids had smooth, dark skin and hairless heads. Their lipless mouths with filled with large, sharp teeth, and they had beady eyes. The Dashade were native to the planet Urkupp, and were believed to have died out some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin when the Cron System was destroyed in the Great Sith War. An ancient Falleen, who had 38 Dashade enforcers in his employment, cryogenically froze them for later use. One of the Dashade was revived each century or so, and put to use. The last known Dashade from this group was the shadow killer Ket Maliss, although investigation by the New Republic revealed other colonies of Dashade were raided for warriors to accompany the killers used by Emperor Palpatine during the Jedi Purge. Because of the original, harsh environment of Urkupp, the Dashade evolved into a people who ruled by strength, with only the most capable warriors leading their people. This social characteristic only enhanced the power of the Dashade, which were naturally resilient and able to absorb large amounts of damage. The ancient Sith also discovered that certain Dashade individuals were immune to the Force, and employed them as bodyguards during the Great Sith War. (SSR, SWDB)

Dashbalar
this city, located on the planet Ansion, was a favored trading center for the Qulun clan. (APS)

Dashh
this man worked as a bounty hunter for the Hutts, during the height of the New Order. (GUN)

Dashta Eel
native to the planet Ord Cestus, these unusual, blind eels were generally classified as non-sentient, despite the fact that they had an incredible affinity to the Force. This combination of non-sentience and Force sensitivity made the dashta unique in the galaxy, as the level of Force sensitivity rivalled that of many humanoid races. Millennia before the Clone Wars, during the early history of Ord Cestus, the dashta eels fled the surface to live in the grottoes beneath the mountains, finding the gruesome struggle to survive a distasteful series of events. They remained hidden for millennia, until they were discovered by the settlers who began making their homes in the caves of the Zantay Hills. The Cestians believed that the dashta eels were given the gift of Force sensitivity by the Guides, those few eels which were fertilized and grew to maturity. The unfertilized eggs grew, but never reached maturity. The dashta eels were believed to have been named for their only known habitat, which consisted of underground pools and lakes found beneath the Dashta Mountains. In reality, they were named for their discoverer, Kilaphor Dashta. Because the eels were hard to raise anywhere else, the supply that was available for use in producing JK-series security droids was exceptionally small, being formed only from the numbers of unfertilized dashta eel eggs. The Guides gladly gave the unfertilized eggs to the Cestians, as a gift that would help the Cestians gain wider acceptance in the galactic community. This made the JK-series almost prohibitively expensive. When Count Dooku offered Cestus Cybernetics a supply of Gabonna memory crystals in addition to speciallized cloning facilities to produce neural tissue that matched the native Cestian dashta eel, Cestus Cybernetics readily agreed to supply JK-series droids to the Separatists. Unfortunately, the deal was all a sham, as cloning the dashta proved virtually impossible. Instead, the deal was maintained in an effort to draw the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights to Ord Cestus. Unknown to the Separatists, however, was the fact that the immature dashta eels used in the JK-series droid would go insane when placed on the battlefield, rendering the JK-series droids useless. The Guides, upon learning of the plans to use the JK-series droids in combat, lost a measure of trust in their Cestian companions. In the wake of the destruction of the Five Families, the Guides fled into the deeper caverns with the dashta eels, and were not seen again. (TCD)

Dashta Mountains
this range of mountains was located on the planet Ord Cestus. They were the only known habitat of the Force-sensitive dashta eel. The mountains were first mapped by the noted Cestian explorer Kilaphor Dashta, who mapped the mountains and the caves of the Zantay Hills some 400 years before the Clone Wars. The Dashta Mountains served as a holy place for the X'Ting for several millenia, before the first comings of humanity and the Old Republic. For most of the planet's human-inhabited history, the mountains served as a haven for smugglers and other criminals, who existed in the caves and niches without even being aware of the existence of the eels. (TCD)

Dashta Plain
this vast, open plain was located at the foot of the Dashta Mountains, on the planet Ord Cestus. Despite its location, the Dashta Plains were uninhabited, primarily to allow the dashta eels to evolve in privacy. (TCD)

Dashta, Kilaphor
this man was the first explorer to fully map out the regions of the Dashta Mountains and the neighboring Zantay Hills, some 400 years prior to the Clone Wars. Thus, the mountain range was eventually named for him, as were the nearly-sentient dashta eels that lived in the grottoes beneath the mountains. (TCD)

D'asima, Paloma
this old woman was one of the Eleven Elders of the People of Emberlene, in the years following the Battle of Endor. On the recommendation of Karoly D'ulin, Paloma travelled to Yaga Minor to meet with Moff Disra and Grodin Tierce to discuss an alliance between the Mistryl and the new Empire. Flim, disguised as Grand Admiral Thrawn, was also present, throwing Paloma off her guard. Both Disra and Tierce were aware that Garm Bel Iblis had planned to raid Yaga Minor for a copy of the Caamas Document, and had arranged for the meeting to take place during the assault. They hoped it would prove to Paloma that the Empire was serious about taking control of the galaxy. (VOF)

Daslkehnt

Dasobo Meats
this meat-shipping operation, based on the planet Yulant, was the regional distributor for the Salliche Ag Corporation, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, Dasobo was sued by Salliche Ag for stealing the genetic secrets Salliche used to breed its gornts. A nanoscopic analysis of Dasobo's Finest Gornt Cutlets revealed Salliche genetic branding. (HNN5)

Dasobo's Finest Gornt Cutlets
produced by Dasobo Meats during the years leading up the Clone Wars, this preprocessed cut of meat was allegedly stolen from the Salliche Agricultural Corporation. Nanoscopic analysis of a cutlet revealed genetic branding which was oened by Salliche Ag. Dasobo was forced to stop production or face even more serious charges of corporate espionage. (HNN5)

Dasol, Matton
this man and his shipmates were ambushed by Eli Gand, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Gand stole their starship, then sold it for a hefty profit. Eli then convinced Matton that he was paying a debt that his former shipmates owed him, and forced Matton into servitude to finished repaying the debt. A passing Jedi Knight discovered one of Matton's droids, and learned of Eli's duplicity and exposed him has a fraud. Eli eventually freed Matton, and Matton took over his merchant duties. (KOTOR)

son of the great Duro Queen Rana. He wore a golden crown. When he died, the crown was implanted with a device which would kill any person trying to steal the crown from Dassid's gravesite. Dustini accidentally activated the anti-tampering device on Dagobah, while trying to gain the Alliance's help in defeating the Empire. (MMY)

Dassid Cree'ar
this Duro was a noted plant geneticist, and was part of the team assembled by the New Republic to assist in the restoration of the natrual environment of the planet Duro, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. His team worked with other groups, notably Doctor Williwalt's, to create bacterial sludges which ingested the foul water and soil of Duro and converted it to clean organic matter. His teams had also created six miniature ecosystes on the planet's surface, forming the first arable land on Duro since the planet was abandoned. Doctor Cree'ar himself, however, never attended Leia Organa-Solo's staff meetings, instead submitting his reports beforehand for her perusal. His fellow scientists grew weary of his continual absenteeism, despite the fact that his work was progressing ahead of schedule. It was later revealed that Doctor Cree'ar was, in fact, the Yuuzhan Vong agent Nom Anor, who had been wearing the gablith masquer in order to imitate a Duros. Nom Anor used bio-engineered organisms of his own shaping to provide him with results, as well as creating a series of tunnels and cave beneath the planet's surface for his own private laboratory. (BP)

Das'skar
this was a form of hunting mask which was created by the Hutts for their Kadas'sa'Nikto servants. The das'skar mask had two parts: an upper half that covered the eyes, nose, and temple; and a lower half that covered the jaw and cheeks. The mask can be worn as a unit, or each piece can be worn separately. The upper half was implanted with speciallized lenses for viewing in low-light conditions, while the lower half used built-in sensors to augment the wearer's ability to locate and track scents. Those Nikto provided with das'skar masks were dispatched by their Hutt masters to kill large game or prey for both sport and food. (UANT)

Dast, Ravallian
this woman was a bounty hunter who took only illegal assignments. She believed that the Empire was an illegal and immoral government, and refused to be bound by the laws of the Imperial Office of Criminal Investigations. Dast also worked for the Alliance, although she expected to be paid for her work. (GG10)

D'Asta, Feena
this silver-haired woman rose to power as a member of the Imperial Interim Ruling Council, taking her father's place when he became ill. She had a plan to make peace with the New Republic, in order to help the Council gain some legitimacy, but met with stern opposition from Nolyds. When Nolyds was assassinated by a bomb hidden in a message disk, the other Council members decided that it must have been an inside job. They placed D'Asta on their list of suspects, but had no direct proof of her involvement. She later asked for a vote of no-confidence in Xandel Carivus' ability to lead the Council, but was only supported by Lord Manos. It was later revealed that the real Feena D'Asta had been kidnapped by Grappa the Hutt and cloned by Macus Kayniph.The clone was then inserted into the Council, in an effort to further the interests of Grappa and Black Sun. Kayniph sold her to Grappa the Hutt. Meanwhile, the clone was accused of treason against the Empire by Xandel Carivus and arrested. Back at Grappa's lair on Genon, Mirith Sinn tried to rescue the real Feena, whose father had been in business deals with Sinn's fiance. Sinn was caught, and Grappa gave her to the Zanibar. Meanwhile, the arrest of D'Asta's clone forced her father to strike out against Xandel Carivus. He mustered the might of his own Imperial fleet and decimated Carivus' forces in a short battle. On Xo, Kir Kanos rescued Mirith Sinn, and she returned to Grappa to take custody of the real Feena D'Asta. Mirith brought Kir Kanos and the real Feena back to Ord Cantrell, where she presented her to Baron D'Asta. He was unsure of who to believe until Kanos and Sinn explained the plan, beginning with Carnor Jax's initial schemes. (CE2)

D'Asta, Ragez
this man served as one of the most powerful and wealthy members of the Imperial Interim Ruling Council. During the reign of Emperor Palpatine, Baron D'Asta had done business with Jahren Sinn on Nez Peron. His place on the Council was filled by his daughter, Feena, when he became ill at an advanced age. However, he still held a position of power among the Imperials, controlling the area of space known as the D'Astam Sector. Some five years later, he was enraged to learn that Xandel Carivus had Feena imprisoned on nebulous charges of treason, and sent his fleet of warships against those controlled by Carivus. D'Asta's fleet was too powerful, and reduced Carivus' forces quickly. When Carivus released Feena, the Baron was loath to give up the battle, but did so to recover his daughter. He later seceded from the Imperial Remnant in order to govern his sector by himself. (CE2, HCE)

D'Astan Sector
this was the area of the galaxy controlled by Baron D'Asta and his fleet. (CE2)

Data Equity Management, Incorporated
known by the stock symbol DEMi, this huge corporation was based on the planet Procopia. Founded just fifteen years before the Battle of Endor, DEMi burst onto the scene by offering storage and maintenance of other corporations' confidential data. DEMi became "legitimate" when the Great Council of Tapani Sector contracted them to handle sector-wide census information. Despite its image, DEMi was actually founded and operated by the Empire's Ubiqtorate. (LOE)

Data Goggles
developed by the Neimoidians, these goggles allowed a pilot to control a starship by linking them directly to the ship's systems. Originally designed for the pilots of grain harvesters on Neimoidia, they were readily adopted by freighter pilots as well. Consisting of a pair of heavy, hemispherical eyecovers and an implant which linked the goggles to the pilot's brain, a set of data goggles had to be attuned to the user's brainwaves in order to function properly. Pilots who chose to use data goggles had to pay a steep price, for the goggles could not be removed without severing the link to a starship and rendering the former pilot unintelligent. (SON)

Data Pad
a small, often hand-held device which is used as a remote data collection system. The user can enter information into the data pad's memory, and can then either remotaly transmit it to a central computer, or hook it directly to the central computer for download at a later time. (HTTE)

Data Plaque
another name for a data card. (HSE)

Data Wafer
another name for a data card. (COJ)

Datadagger
this unusual weapon, developed on the planet Chandrila, was used in many assassination attempts throughout the planet's history. At first glance, the datadagger appeared to be a piece of ivory artwork, inlaid with gold and silver filigree. Upon further examination, however, datadaggers resembled large code cylinders which could interface with computers, datapads, and door locks. Hidden inside the ivory hilt of the weapon was a thin blade that was nearly undetectable. Often, datadaggers were priceless family heirlooms, passed down from generation to generation. (WOTC, SWI64, CCW)

Datadot

The Alliance was ambushed here by the Empire during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. The Alliance team fought valliantly, having been warned of the invasion when sensor operators detected the Imperial fleet prior to the attack. They defeated the Imperials and escaped, and Imperial Vice Admiral Slenn was executed for his failure. (TME, E1A5, HFG)

Datarie
in the last decades of the Old Republic, the datarie was the standard monetary unit. It was valid in all but the most remote systems. (SW1)

DataSearch 12C-A
this model of datasearch device, produced by TerexComm, was considerably faster than the DataSearch 9C model. The 12C-A model could search thousands of DSUs worth of data in less than three seconds. The 12C-A was also more finicky about its power supply, and could short out if attached to the wrong source. (SWJ10)

DataSearch 9C
this was the name of TerexComm's deluxe datasearch device, produced during the New Order. It was designed for administrative use, whenever a being had to search through thousands of DSUs worth of information. (SWJ10)

Data-Sifter
this droid programming package was produced by Industrial Automaton, for use in the AG9 series of droids. It increased the A9G's ability to efficiently sort through massive amounts of data. (TBSB, FTD)

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

Dathcha
this Jawa trader and adventurer was famous for having taunted a krayt dragon in the open Tatooine desert, and returned to tell about it. He longed to get off Tatooine and explore the galaxy. It was Dathcha who fired the disabling laser bolt at R2-D2 in the deep desert. (CCG)

Dathka Graush
this ancient Sith Lord was buried on the planet Korriban some 7,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. A pureblooded Sith, Graush was one of the most powerful warlords of his time. He rose to power on Korriban by gathering his forces and destroying his enemies, then tried to make himself immortal by creating the unusual jewel known as the Heart of Graush. He thought that, by removing his physical heart and replacing it with a Dark Side jewel imbued with Sith spirits, he wouuld live forever. However, Graush was killed by enemy assassins, and was buried in the Valley of Golg, on Korriban. The Heart of Graush was buried with him, waiting for an unsuspecting being to touch it. This contact would allow the jewel to possess the being, eventually transferring their spirit to Graush and giving him new life. Graush nearly returned to life during the height of the New Order, when the crew of the Jynni's Virtue stumbled upon his tomb. Captain Naz Feylood touched the Heart of Graush and unleashed the spirit, but the Heart was lost in the destruction of the pirate ship. (PH)

Dathomir
a planet where the outcasts from the Old Republic were sent to die, it is the home of the Rancor, and home to a group of Force-sensitive witches who use spells to control The Force. It is located in the Quelii system, where Zsinj has established a prison colony and a new shipyard. The planet's gravity is somewhat lighter than standard. It is full of the Dark Side of The Force, moreso than Dagobah. Han 'won' the planet from Omogg in a sabacc game; its value is somewhere around three billion credits. It has 3 continents in a vast ocean. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Dathomir fell to the alien invaders shortly before the Battle of Ithor. (CPL, DJ)

Dathomir Station
this space station was erected in orbit around Dathomir by the Empire, after it established its penal colony on the planet's surface. Starships delivering supplies or requiring emergency repairs were allowed to dock at the station, provided that they had the appropriate Imperial authorizations. (SWGAL)

Dathomir's Vitality
this was the term used by the Dark Veil Order to describe the very center of the Heart of Dathomir nebula. The Dark Veil Order believed that Dathomir's Vitality contained a powerful rage that would eventually consume the system and, if not appeased, the entire galaxy. In order to prevent these disasters, the sisters of the Dark Veil Order regularly ambushed starships moving through the Dathomir System, using any beings they captured as sacrifices to Dathomir's Vitality. (SWGAL)

A sect of the main Ffib religion, they established a mission on the Forest Moon of Endor, in order to bring the Ewoks into their fold. After the destruction of the Ffib at the hands of Reess Kairn, the Daughters of the Ffib employed Aurra Sing to hunt down Reess Kairn and eliminate him. (BHAS)

Daultay Dofine
this Neimoidian was one of Nute Gunray's Captains, and embodied everything that was negative about his race. He was lazy, only moderately competent, and greedy, and achieved his status primarily because of his high birth. He was known to ply any challengers with platitudes while determining the best way to stab them in the back. Dofine was wanted for questioning by the Bureau of Ship Services for a variety of complaints against his actions, including the illegal seizure of cargoes. When the Trade Federation blockaded the planet Naboo at the order of Darth Sidious, Dofine was the only member of Gunray's collective to question the orders of the Sith Lord, and for that he was removed from the ruling class of the Federation and assigned to the Droid Control Ship over Naboo. During the Battle of Naboo, Dofine was killed when Anakin Skywalker managed to damage the control ship's reactor core, triggering internal explosions that tore the ship to pieces. Daultay Dofine was acted by Alan Ruscoe and voiced by Chris Sanders in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, IS1, IG1, SON)

Daunted Gypsy
this SoroSuub Jermagium tramp freighter was used by the New Republic to insert a group of agents into the population to foment pro-Republic sentiments. This occured some years after the Battle of Endor, when the Imperials on the planet were ousted from power by the natives of the world. They formed a new government with allegiance to the Republic, but met with Imperial resistance. The Gypsy was armed with three double laser cannons, and had a top-model hyperdrive. (TSK)

Dauntless
this New Republic cruiser was part of the small fleet left at Bilbringi to protect against an attack by the Yuuzhan Vong, twenty-seven years after the Battle of Yavin. After Bilbringi was lost to the Yuuzhan Vong, the Dauntless was recalled to Calamari for repairs. It was later part of the fleet which was amassed to launch an attack on the planet Coruscant, in an effort to recapture the planet from the Yuuzhan Vong. (SBS, UF)

Dauntless
this Star Destroyer was part of the special task force supporting Moff Vanko's sector of control. It was commanded by Captain Orsk during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. (RM, CCC)

Dauntless-class Cruiser
this was the second-largest battleship in the Alliance fleet during the Galactic Civil War.

Dauren
an Imperial Lieutenant serving Ambassador Furgan on Carida, Dauren graduated from the Imperial Academy on Raithal just a few months before the New Republic reclaimed the planet. He then served as an advanced communications officer on Corulag until that world was abandoned by the Empire. Before being assigned to Carida, Dauren served under Grand Admiral Thrawn as well as the reborn Emperor Palpatine. Dauren had become the Communications Officer for the planetary defense system on Carida just before Kyp Durron used the Sun Crusher to destroy the system. (COTF, JASB)

Dauscha, Tonner
this independent spacer and freetrader made a regular run to Coruscant, before the planet was closed off to immigrants during the year leading up to the Clone Wars. The added paperwork required to simply enter the Core Worlds, let alone arrive on Coruscant, meant that freetraders like Dauscha lost a great many deals because they couldn’t deliver on time. (HNN5)

Daushoroc
this Eirrauc and his partner, Tamoss, was a trader who dealt in gems, artifacts, and curiosities. Both were former slaves who had helped each other escape their Imperial masters, and set their fellow slaves on a safeworld before striking out on their own. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the pair traveled to Tatooine in order to seek out the Athallian Messenger. They were forced to make peace with a tribe of Tusken Raiders just to gain access to the area of the desert which supposedly held the Athallian Messenger's scarred hull. (SWG9)

Daux-cat
this feline creature was noted for its speed and grace. A subspecies of daux-cat was bred specifically for speed, and was raised to participate in races during the last years of the Old Republic. (MBS)

Davani, Nils
this man and his wife, Haryette, were natives of the planet Beheboth. Their daughter, Myrette, attended the Imperial Academy on Coruscant for much of her early training, before she was transferred to the Caridan Military Academy. When Nils learned that his daughter had been trained to fly starships on Coruscant, he lodged a formal complaint with Commandant Mogurk and the Coruscani Pilot Institute to keep her from taking the controls. Outwardly, Nils claimed that he thought his daughter was a bad pilot. Inside, he simply feared for her life. (PH)

Dave
a Rebel fighter pilot killed during the Battle of Yavin, he once flew with Anakin Skywalker. He is known as Dave in the credits for Star Wars: A New Hope, but Decipher Games names him Garven Dreis. Dave was portrayed by Drewe Hemley in Star Wars: A New Hope. (SW, CCG)

Daveed
this man worked as a cameraman for the Cularin Central Broadcasting company, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (LFCW)

Davengatt, Jaffro
this man claimed to be from "all over the Mid Rim," and was known as an entrepreneur. He discovered that the grasslands of the remote planet Engebo V were perfect for raising nerfs, and eventually established Davengatt's Double-Zed Nerf Ranch on the planet. His nerf meat was prized among connisseurs across the galaxy. Jaffro was killed shortly after the Madman's Fortune crashed onto Engebo V, when a school of skekfish were inadvertently released by his daughter, Nell. Nell and her companions had gone to check out the crash, and opened Goontirk's escape pod to investigate. The skekfish burrowed into the ground and sped toward the nearest food source, killing many beings in The Landing before making their way to the Davengatt mansion. Jaffro tried to escape with his daughter, leaving her companions to fend for themselves, but was beset by a swarm of skekfish and devoured. (WOA10)

Davengatt, Nell
this woman was the daughter of Jaffro Davengatt, and grew up on the planet Engebo V. She served as her father's chief aide in the operation of Davengatt's Double-Zed Nerf Ranch, handling the day-to-day operations as her father became more and more reclusive. While she hated the work and hated being stuck on Engebo V, Nell found that she couldn't bring herself to leave, either. Shortly after the Madman's Fortune crashed onto Engebo V, Nell and her companions went to check out the crash, and opened Goontirk's escape pod to investigate. A school of skekfish escped from the pod and burrowed into the ground. Before they could be contained, the skekfish sped toward the nearest food source, killing many beings in The Landing. Nell was one of the few beings to escape the planet, taking off with Gall and the freelance pilots who were on Engebo V to obtain nerf steaks for Lady Wylla of Alderaan. Nell asked to join the pilots, and personally made reparations with Lady Wylla. She then worked with Wylla to send a mission to Engebo V to blast the planet from orbit, in order to fully eliminate the skekfish threat. (WOA10)

Davengatt's Double-Zed Nerf Ranch
located on the remote world of Engebo V, this nerf ranch was established by Jaffro Davengatt. The nerf meat produced on Engebo V was prized among conniseurs across the galaxy. (WOA10)

Daver Kuat
this temperate world was the third planet in the Kuat System. It was orbited by two moons. (CCW)

David, Trey
this man was Horzao Darr's second-in-command in the Exocron Combined Air-space Fleet. It was David who intercepted Talon Karrde when he arrived in the system to locate Jorj Car'das. When he and Car'das learned of Karrde's approach, they knew that they could use it as a way to draw the slaver - and their enemy - Rei'kas toward the Kathol Rift. They allowed Karrde to locate Exocron, thereby allowing Rei'kas to find the planet. When Rei'kas attacked, David made sure that none of his ships fired on them. He retreated toward Exocron, much to the disbelief of Karrde and his crew. When the Aing-Tii finally made their presence known, it was a quick firefight. In the end, the fleet Rei'kas has sent in was decimated, and Exocron was once again safely hidden. (VOF)

Davik Kang
this man was a noted crimelord, who operated as part of The Exchange from a base on the planet Taris, during the Great Sith War. He was once the owner of the Ebon Hawk, which he claimed to have stolen before outfitting it with state-of-the-art systems. Kang's small empire was based on smuggling and the slave trade, and he was not above extortion. When he was seen in public, Kang always wore a specialized suit of body armor. This body armor was rumored to have been created by a brilliant technician who owed Kang a large sum of credits. Kang agreed to cancel the debt and spare the technician's life in exchange for the creation of the body armor. Kang took possession of the armor and had the technician killed anyway, to ensure that no other being acquired such a suit. Just before the planet Taris was destroyed by Darth Malak, Kang was killed in a firefight, and the Ebon Hawk was taken by Carth Onasi and the survivors of the Endar Spire. (KOTOR, SWDB)

Davin
this was one of the most common male names among the Corellian population. (GMR9)

Davip, Eldo
this man was a Commander in the New Republic Navy, and was in command of the Super-class Star Destroyer Lusankya during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Commander Davip, despite his ranking, was known for his indecision in battle, and many believed that he could not have reached the rank of Commander without a lot of help. He was suddenly forced into battle near Borleias when the ships under his command tried to reach the remnants of the New Republic gathered there. Davip and the Lusankya fell into a Yuuzhan Vong trap, and only the sheer number of weapons they could bring to bear on the aliens allowed the Lusankya to win the battle. Months later, Davip was at the helm of the Lusankya for the initial stages of Operation Emperor's Hammer, but found himself unable to lead the mission. His commanding officer, Wedge Antilles, refused to allow Davip to step down, and used subtle psychology to bolster Davip's confidence. After successfully repelling the Yuuzhan Vong, Commander Davip was ostensibly in command of the small fleet protecting the Starlancer Project's pipefighters. It was during this time that he and Antilles began refitting the Lusankya, taking away weapons emplacements which were "damaged" in battle and placing them on smaller ships. Although many of his subordinates questioned his ability to continue as Captain while the ship disintegrated around him, Davip knew that it was simply because his mission was a secret. Davip was actually overseeing the refitting of the Lusankya, primarily ensuring that the section known as the Beltway was strong enough to withstand an impact with a Yuuzhan Vong worldship. After the battle, Davip was promoted to Major General for his bravery at Borleias, and was nominated to join the chiefs of staff of the Galactic Alliance. (EL1, EL2, UF)

Davirien

Davis had been developing a relationship with Sinewy Ana Blue over his years on the Run, but that came to a halt when several droids suddenly exploded throughout the Run. The droids were part of various cargoes paid for by Dolph, who had planned to have them explode on Coruscant. Instead, they were stolen by the smugglers of the Run.

Dawson
this Tynnan demolitions expert worked with Kels Turkhorn and Cecil Noone during the height of the New Order. He was the latest in a long line of stock brokers, and was a noted water-wall player. He learned at a young age that blowing things up was fun, and spent much of his free time experimenting with explosives. When he was chosen by lottery to serve in the Tynnan government, Dawson fled his homeworld for fear of spending the rest of his life behind a desk. He wandered the galaxy for six years before signing on with Noone, and had been with the group for four years before the team was hired by Guttu the Hutt to steal a Hapan Gun of Command from Vop the Usurer. Dawson was known for his almost childish tendency to fixate on an object, but then abandon it when he was distracted or lost interest. He once tried to buy a Quay device from a Squib on Kabal, but the Squib refused to sell it to him. (SWJ15, GMR1)

Daxis Outpost

Day of the Hunter
this Rodian ceremony lasted a full day on Rodia, and venerated the bounty hunters of Rodian history. (HR)

Day of the Sepulchral Night
this is the Zelosian name for a complete solar eclipse which occurs on the planet Zelos II. When one of the planet's four moons eclispes the sun Zelos, the darkened skies suddenly reveal the presence of the other three moons. They appear as if by magic as the planet is plunged into total darkness. The Zelosian fear of the dark is extremely heightened during this eclipse, and so this day is especially frightening to them.

Dayan
this was one of the more common names given to Dantari individuals. (UANT)

Dayark
this moon, which orbits the gas giant Nepe, in the Episol System of the Kathol Outback, is the most populous world in the Kathol Republic. An agricultural world, Dayark also served as the capital of the Republic and the seat of its government. It is tide-locked to Nepe's orbit, and so the sunward side of the moon is the only habitable area. (KO)

Daye
this was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Da'yid
this was a common Psadan name. (UANT)

Daykim, Onibald
one of the feral humans living underneath Imperial City in the early years of the New Republic, he is the "king" of his group. He was a low-level servant of the Imperial Palace branch of the Corusca Bank, during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. A small accounting error committed by his staff resulted in the name of Emperor Palpatine going to the top of a public list of loan defaulters. Although the incorrect list existed in the public domain for a few hours, Palpatine nonetheless found out about it,and fired the entire board of directors before demanding the identity of the culprit. Daykim fled to the undercity, rather than face Palpatine's wrath, and has existed there ever since. He maintains a strong and hale body, but he has lost all of his teeth and his hair has begun to fall out from years of living underground. (DA, JASB)

Daysong
this splinter group of the Rights of Sentience Party was formed to combat the subservient use of organic lifeforms in such menial tasks as guards and protectors. Daysong reasoned that the work could be done by droids, rather than forcing another being into the duty. Daysong had even gone so far as to argue the rights of synthflesh. When Leia Organa-Solo disappeared in the Meridian Sector during her visit to meet Seti Ashgad, the Daysong party sliced together a fake holo-transmission of her in an attempt to gain control of the Central Council. (POT)

Dayta
an Alliance transport group intercepted in the Javin Sector while fleeing from the Battle of Hoth. (TIE)

Dazen Mok
this being was one of the many Jedi Knights who trained at the Almas Academy, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. However, Dazen Mok chose to leave the Jedi Order, after soul-searching revealed that he should spend the restof his life exploring the Cularin System and its unusual events. After leaving the Almas Academy, Dazen Mok spent many years investigating the loss of the Nub Saar floating city in orbit around Genarius. His investigations led him to the unusual theory that Nub Saar was destroyed by some manifestation of the Dark Side of the Force, which had originally been awakened to help Karae Nalvas build the floating fortress of Conkesta. When the fortress was destroyed, the dark force returned to Genarius' core. Years later, it awakened during the construction of Nub Saar, and destroyed the city in its anger. His theory met with stern opposition from a number of Cularin officials. (LFCW)

Dazouri
this was a race of polymorphous beings, genetic cousins to the Lahsbees, which could shape their bodies into two distinct forms. Their normal form, known as its "rest form," was that of a short humanoid. Their larger form, known as the "rage form," was that of a huge, horned beast. Normal Dazouri are cunning creatures, while those in their "rage form" were homicidal maniacs. (SWJ12, PG3)

DBX-11
this DBX-series droid served as the mynock exterminator droid aboard the Black Ice shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Chief Engineer Skolos programmed DBX-11 to recognize the Alliance agents who were attempting to take control of the Black Ice as mynocks, and DBX-11 set out to exterminate them. The agents eventually convinced the droid that they were not, in fact, mynocks, and DBX-11 revealed that Skolos was behind the series of malfunctions which plagued the Black Ice. (BI)

DBX-series Droid

DBY-827
this huge, turret-mounted turbolaser was developed during the Clone Wars as the primary weapon of the Venator-class Star Destroyer. Eight of these dual-cannon weapons protected the Venator-class vessel, with two rows of four being mounted at the base of the command tower. Each DBY-827 could be calibrated to one of seven different blast intensities, depending on the mission profile of the vessel. Long-range tracking computers allowed the DBY-827 to be extremely accurate across distances up to ten light-minutes. Each of these weapons required a dedicated crew to operate, given their size and targetting requirements. (X3)

DC0052
known as the Intergalactic Speeder, the DC0052 was a sleek vehicle that found a market among the wealthier members of the galactic society during the final years of the Old Republic. The main body was a flattened hemisphere, resembling a flying wing. A pair of propulsion drives were attached at the back, and the central fuselage was adapted to enhance the speeder's maneuverability and speed. (IS3, TCG10)

DC-15
this was the standard-issue blaster weapon provided by the Old Republic to the cloned troopers developed on Kamino. The DC-15 could be configured as a simpler blaster, or outfitted with a longer stock and an accelerating barrel to create a blaster rifle. These weapons were first used during the Battle of Geonosis. They fired an intensely-power bolt of coherent, blue light, that could shred vehicles and droids as well as flesh. (VD2, LAWS)

DC-15A
this was a more powerful version of the DC-15 blaster rifle, which was produced for the original series of ARC Troopers. The DC-15A had a longer barrel, with the trigger set back along the stock. (VD3)

DC-15s
this was an upgraded version of the standard DC-15 blaster pistol that was considered the standard firearm of the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic. The DC-15s was issued primarily to the ARC Troopers, who used the weapon because it was small enough and powerful enough to be carried as a backup weapon. It was designed to employ tibanna gas as its source of energy. (LAWS, VD3)

DC-15x
this enhanced version of the DC-15 blaster pistol was developed as a sniper weapon, with additional sights and exceptional accuracy over large distances. The DC-15x was the favored weapon of those clone troopers who specialized in sharpshooting. (LAWS)

DC-17
the DC-17 blaster pistol was produced by the Old Republic for the clone troopers that fought during the Clone Wars. It was much more accurate - and much more powerful - than most standard-issue blaster pistols, and had a much higher rate of fire. This allowed specialized units of Jet Troopers to unleash a barrage of blaster fire as they moved through the sky. (LAWS)

DC-17m
this was a highly customizable version of the DC-17 blaster, produced by BlasTech during the last years of the Old Republic. The DC-17m was provided to many of the clone commandos of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. (SWI80, LAWS)

DD12
see Duro Delta Twelve. (WOTC, CCW)

DD-13
this medical droid was developed by Ubrikkian Industries as a surgeon, specializing in cybernetic replacements, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Known as the Galactic Chopper in many circles, the DD-13 surgeon droid stood on a set of three spindly legs, and had a minimally humanoid form. What it lacked in bed-side manner, the DD-13 made up for in it ability to quickly and carefully connect a cybernetic prosthesis to a living host. Many of these droids were employed by the Separatists for the surgeries that were done on General Grievous and Darth Vader. (SWI81, VD3)

DD-19
this Ubrikkian multitasking droid served aboard the FarStar as an overseer of the maintenance work done in the droid repair bay. DD-19 was known as the "slavemaster," because he drove his mechanics hard and demanded the best from them all. (DARK, KO)

DD6
a Merr-Sonn Munitions blaster pistol, the DD6 was produced as direct competitor to BlasTech's DL-18. The DD6 was stronger and more powerful, and its production set off the so-called "blaster wars" between Merr-Sonn and BlasTech. (GG9, GUN)

DDX Pulse Modulator
this device was used to ensure a steady power supply, minimizing spikes and surges while compensating for drops or low points. (GG9)

Dead Bantha Gulch
this ravine was located just inside the Jundland Wastes near Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine. It was named by Platt Okeefe and Tru'eb Cholakk, who hid out in the gulch and found a bantha skeleton at the bottom. The gulch itself was riddled with caves and ravines in which the smugglers could hide their cargoes before a sale. The gulch was considered taboo to the Sandpeople, who feared the dead bantha. (IDC)

Dead Blade
this was the term used by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic to describe any non-energized weapon. Specifically indicating that the weapon was not a lightsaber, a dead blade was any meatllic weapon lacking a power source. Thus, vibro-bladed weapons were not considered dead blades. (SHPT)

Dead Forest
this dense forest, located on the planet Kashyyyk near the city of Kachirho, was inhabited by a colony of webweavers. The actual name of the forest was Kkowir Forest, but it became known as the Dead for two reasons. First, it was a desolate area that had been once been lush, but was infected with some plant disease that rendered the jungle a sickly gray in color. Much of the jungle died out, and any new growth was quickly consumed by the disease. Secondly, the Dead Forest was home to a number of webweavers and other creatures that usually killed and ate any being who dared to travel through it. A group of Wookiees known as the Dead Guard protected the various entrances to the Dead Forest, in an effort to protect the population of Kachirho. (SWGAL)

Dead Guard
this was the name given to the Wookiee soldiers who guarded the entrances to Kkowir Forest, on their homeworld of Kashyyyk. The name Dead Guard came from the fact that the Kkowir Forest was known locally as the Dead Forest. (SWGAL)

The missile launcher was placed where the salon pod had been. (SOG)

Dead Sector
this was another name for the abandoned Dacho District of Coruscant. (SWI65)

Dead Zone
this was a smuggler's term for one of the most remote sections of the Outer Rim Territories. It was in the Dead Zone - named for the fact that there was virtually no life to be found in the sector - that Talon Karrde established a communications relay station on Comra, during the height of the New Republic. (SQ)

Deadbelt, The
this was the name of the asteroid field located between the planet Tasariq and Trenal, in the Tasar System.

Death Hollow
this was the term used by the Korunnai to describe any deep well or pit where toxic gases, roiling from the open caulderae of the many active volcanoes on the surface of Haruun Kal, could collect before they reached the "ocean" of the planet's surface. Any creature that fell into a death hollow literally drowned in the toxic gases. Usually, death hollows were camouflaged by lush foliage, so many creatures simply fell in by accident or tried to feed on a tasty blossom and tumbled to their death. (SHPT)

Death Hurdles
this computer game simulated a race in which the player had to control a swoop through a dangerous course of continually moving and shifting obstacles. In a two-player version, the second player controlled the obstacles, and could move them at random. (JE)

Death Mark
this old frigate was welded onto Zirtran's Anchor some time ago. This ship once owned by a bounty hunter known as Vygar, who believed that bounty hunters needed a place of their own to rest, make repairs, catch up on the latest news, and socialize with their own kind. Vygar brought the Death Mark to Zirtran's Anchor and added it to the growing station, creating the Delta Sector of the station in the process. (SWJ5, LAA)

Death Maze, The
this maze of passages was one section of the race course which was set up for the BlastBoat 2000 event, held on the moon of Echnos. Most of the turns in the Death Maze were extremely sharp, and behind most of them were nooks where an opponent could hide and ambush another racer. (SWJ4)

Death Plunge
this was one of the many attractions found at Aucellis Park, on the moon of Keriba VI, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The rider claims to plunge its riders through the moon's core, but the ride is actually a stationary set of cars around which a vivid illusion of travelling through a world is displayed on full-surround screens. (WOA27)

Death Seal
this was a device which allowed an individual to protect the contents of a container from unwanted intrusion. The death seal could only be opened by entering a specific code or information, most often a retinal scan or DNA match. If broken into, the death seal released a deadly toxin or gas, killing the intruder instantly. (T7)

Death Seed
this plague was virtually unstoppable when it was first discovered. The basis of the Death Seed is the creature called a droch, which can steal the life force energy from its victim once it bites the victim. If allowed to remain attached, the droch can quickly burrow into its victim. Once inside, it is absorbed into its victim, but continues to drain life energy from it. The victim dies from unknown, though obviously viral, causes. Bacta therapy was found to quicken the disease, because the bacta only provided the droch with a renewed source of life energy as the victim healed. The Death Seed was controlled by the huge droch Dzym, which maintained a link to the lower drochs while obtaining life energy from their vicitms. When Dzym and Seti Ashgad began their quest for galactic domination, they unleashed the Death Seed plague on the Meridian Sector. Only through Luke Skywalker's communication with the Spook crystals on Nam Chorios was the plague defeated. The crystals agreed to be shipped off-planet, where they could help focus natural sunlight on the parasitic creatures. The Death Seed managed to wipe outnearly three-quarters of the sector before it was controlled. (POT)

Death Squad
this was one of the most violent branches of the Mandalorian military, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (RCHC)

Death Squadron
this grouping of capital ships was formed under the command of Admiral Ozzel, and was created to capture Alliance starships fleeing the Battle of Hoth. (CCG3)

Death Star
this satellite-sized battle station was developed by the Geonosians, under the direction of Darth Tyranus, from the original plans for the Expeditionary Battle Planetoid. After the Battle of Geonosis, these plans were refined by Tol Sivron and Bevel Lemelisk at the Maw installation, and the battle station was built by Bevel Lemelisk and Imperial Engineering. As the Alliance began to gather support, it was Grand Moff Tarkin who asked for a superweapon with which he could control the entire Outer Rim Territory, and the Death Star was the perfect weapon. It housed a huge superlaser which combined the output of multiple lasers into a single, focused beam. A huge focusing lens was built to accomplish this, located on the upper hemisphere. The superlaser was designed to be targeted at anything from a capital ship to a planet. This objective was known only to a select few, for Tarkin and the Maw's top scientists decided that they should downplay the role of superweapon to keep the project on schedule. In order to ensure continued cooperation of their employees, project engineers were told that the station would be used to break down dead planets, in an effort to reach the core of elements easier. To complete this ruse, the funding for the original Death Star came from funds diverted form the Departments of System Exploration and Public Works. The interior of the initial Death Star was planned to have 84 unique levels, each 1,428 meters in height. Each level was subdivided into 357 sublevels. The entire design was then divided into two hemispheres, each with twelve zones. The crew of the first Death Star consisted of 27,048 officers; 774,576 troops, pilots, and crewers; 378,576 support and maintenance crewers; 400,000 support droids; and 25,000 stormtroopers. Note that the Star Wars Trading Card Game - Battle of Yavin expansion set lists the Death Star's stormtrooper compliment at 25,984. The human inhabitants were provided with an array of parks, shopping centers, and entertainment facilities, since the average length of service aboard the station was to be six years without leave. At the north pole of the station was constructed a 100-story tower, which was heavily shielded and virtually impenetrable. This tower held Palpatine's operational headquarters, for those times when he was aboard the station. According to Imperial sources, the first Death Star took too long to construct, exceeding Palpatine's every deadline. It was built in orbit around the prison world Despayre. Labor for the construction was taken at will from the prison below. When the first Death Star was completed, Tarkin ordered the superlaser tested on the planet Despayre itself. Needless to say, this initial test exceeded even Tarkin's wildest dreams. However, despite its formidable weaponry, the original design was flawed, as it vented its main reactor directly to the outside. When the plans to the first Death Star were stolen by Alliance forces and delivered to the Massassi Base on Yavin 4, military personnel and technical experts under the command of General Jan Dodonna discovered this flaw. They believed that a proton torpedo could be fired into the exhaust shaft, resulting in a chain reaction that would destroy the station. During the Battle of Yavin, Luke Skywalker used a combination of luck and the Force to fire the fateful torpedo, destroying the Death Star from within. The original station was 120 kilometers in diameter, and had the following design features:

• 5 Access trenchs (2 at the poles, 2 midhemisphere, and 1 at the equator)
• Surface City Blocks
• Main Reactor Core with surrounding Power Cells
• 2 Ready Power Cells (midsection)
• 2 Hyperdrive Motivators, driven by 123 generators (midsection)
• 2 Sublight Drives (midsection)
• 2 Computer Cores
• Deep Armory and Hangar Bays (bottom hemisphere)
• Command Core (upper pole)
• 2 main Hangar Bays (upper pole and upper hemisphere)
• Deep Storage Bays
• Dry Bulk Storage Bays
• Liquid Bulk Storage Bays
• 5,000 turbolaser batteries
• 5,000 heavy turbolaser batteries
• 2,500 laser cannons
• 2,500 ion cannons
• 768 tractor beam generators

Death Star Diva
one of several musically awful songs written and played by the band called Dead Rebels. (XWM)

Death Star Droid
this was a common name given to the RA-7 series of droids, built by Arakyd Industries to Imperial specifications. They were named for the fact that a great number of these droids were manufactured for use aboard the first Death Star. (CCG2, EGD)

Death Star II
this second version of the original Imperial battle station was modified to eliminate the flaws which were discovered by the Alliance military and exploited during the Battle of Yavin. Like its predecessor, the second Death Star was designed around a planet-smashed superlaser. The primary difference between the two battle stations was the elimination of dedicated thermal exhaust ports. In their place, millions of millimeter-wide vents were dispersed across its surface, each with a dedicated baffling mechanism. The second Death Star was slightly larger than the original, at 160 kilometers in diameter. Note that Inside the Worlds of the Star Wars Trilogy indicates that the second Death Star was over 900 kilometers in diameter. The outer hull was made from quadanium steel for protection. For defensive measures, the second Death Star was to house 4 capital ships, 7,200 TIE fighters, 3,600 Lambda-class assault shuttles, 2,480 blast boats, 1,860 drop ships, and 13,000 support craft. These included 1,400 AT-ATs, 1,400 AT-STs, 178 Mobile Command Bases, 1,420 repulsortanks, 1,420 repulsorcraft, 355 Floating Fortresses, and 4,843 Juggernauts. In addition to its primary superlaser, the second Death Star was also planned to have some 30,000 turbolasers. Another key difference between the two battles stations was their purpose. While the first Death Star was designed to instill fear in planetary systems, the second Death Star was designed as the bait in an elaborate trap. Emperor Palpatine, sensing that the end of the Galactic Civil War was at hand, began construction of the new battle station in orbit around the Forest Moon of Endor. Palpatine appointed Moff Jerjerrod as the overseer of the project, knowing that he was an ineffectual leader who would be unable to keep the station's construction on schedule. Then, he purposely allowed news of the battle station's construction to leak out. A group of Bothan spies was given access to the information, and pursuing Imperials forces were ordered to ensure their eventual escape. Palpatine hoped that the Alliance military would not pass up the chance to destroy the new station, in hopes of crushing the Empire. Palpatine even leaked schedule information that showed the exact times he would be visiting the station during its construction, as further incentive to incite an attack. In preparation, the Emperor massed a huge fleet just outside of the system, hidden until the Alliance fleet made its appearance. During the Battle of Endor, Alliance forces discovered that the second Death Star was fully operation, despite its incomplete structure, and was capable of targetting starships as well as planets. However, Palpatine failed to account for the love between Darth Vader and his son, Luke Skywalker. As the space battle raged, Vader managed to overcome his hatred and return to the Light Side of the Force, killing Palpatine in the process. With their leader dead, the Imperial forces were unable to continue the fight, and the second Death Star was eventually destroyed. (ROTJ, MTS, IWST, DSTC, TCG9)

Death Star Rising

Death Star Trooper
this was the rank given to the hand-picked soldiers who served the Empire aboard the first Death Star. Distinguished by their swooping, black helmets, these troopers were chosen from the ranks of the Imperial Navy by Grand Moff Tarkin himself. (TCG4)

Death Stick
this recreational drug was popular on Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was essentially a treated form of Ixetal cilona, which could be hardened into a cylinder or liquified and stored in a long vial. Both forms gave rise to the monicker 'death stick.' The liquid form was often consumed by mixing it with softdrinks, and was virtually undetectable in this form. The drug inside the multi-colored cylinders provided the user with a heightened sense of euphoria, but continued use of the drug stole years from a being's life. This continued usage led to an intense addiction, and most abusers reported needed a harder and harder dosage in order to simply exist. Because of its widespread use, the Bando Gora chose to introduce death sticks laden with neurotoxins into the Coruscant underworld, in an effort cause widespread chaos during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (HNN4, BH)

this smugglers' hyperspace route connected the worlds of Ryloth, Manda, and Roon. It was named by the Twi'lek smugglers who used it as a "back door" to bypassing the Hutts. (WOTC)

Deathblock
this was the name of the deepest part of the Imperial prison on Tol Ado, and was where the most intense interrogations were carried out. It was said that no one lived more than two hours after being transferred to the Deathblock. (JH)

Death-Hammer
this small blaster pistol, distinguished by they open heat-dissipation grate around its barrel, was noted for its incredible power. (SWGAL)

Deathhawk
this 12-meter-long combat airspeeder was developed and manufactured by Barresin. Best crewed by a pilot and gunner, the Deathhawk was armed with a double laser cannon. It had a flight ceiling of 250 meters, and could attain speeds of 1,000 kilometers an hour. (GSE)

Death-Hunter
this cyborg assasin was the brain-child of the Imperial Moff Jesco Comark. Comark used his position as the head of Renik to syphon funds into the Death-Hunter project, and used Renik agents to kidnap strong, healthy humans between the ages of 15 and 25 for cyborging. Comark realized that the Empire couldn't continue to use bounty hunters to do its dirty work, and developed an army of cyborged killers. He was able to obtain strong human subjects from the working population of Bescane, kidnapping individuals whenever the need arose. Comark also used the shipyards at Jaemus for his project, having them modify Sector Plexus courier droids for use as Death-Hunter transports. The Death-Hunter was an incredible combination of technological and physical abilities. The Death-Hunter's eyesight was augmented with low-light and macrozoom enhancements. Hearing was increased with specialized receptors. Lifeform sensors were implanted to improved tracking ability. Several communications options were available to the cyborg, including a wideband receiver and a tightband antenna. The Death-Hunter project was exposed by Moff Comark's own daughter, Amber Comark, who was operating under the guise of Alliance special agent Tigress. Much of the Death-Hunter project was destroyed when Alliance agents, working with Amber Comark, were able to eliminate Jesco Comark's base on Zeta Zero Nine, in the Wastes. (SWJ9)

Deathmoon
the name of one of Fyodos' three moons, its original name was lost following the Great Cleansing. Fyodoi society indiactes that the cycle of the Deathmoon induces intense, superstitious fear among the surviving Fyodoi. (PG2)

Deathraven
this starfighter design was the brainchild of Erron Kell, who learned of the durability of the B-Wing bomber during his stint as an Alliance pilot during the Battle of Endor. In the wake of the Empire's defeat, Kell was able to obtain the damaged hulks of two B-Wing/E2 bombers. He called in some favors with his contacts at Kuat Drive Yards, and had them expand the cockpit section while attached both wings to the single cockpit. Each wing was fully equipped with drive systems and weapons, making the ship almost twice as fast and twice as deadly as a B-Wing. It did lack the B-Wing's maneuverability, however, given its ungainly appearance. (WOTC, SOG)

Death's Head
an Imperial-I class Star Destroyer under the command of Captain Harbid, the Death's Head was part of Grand Admiral Thrawn's fleet some five years after the Battle of Endor. It was dispatched to the Palanhi System to apprehend Han Solo, but was unable to capture them there. Later, the Death's Head participated in the attack on Ord Pardron. (HTTE, DFR, TLC)

Deathsnake
this reptile was known for its incredibly fast and accurate strike. (SWJ5)

Debbikin
this short, thin man was the director of research, and a leading member of the Five Families of the planet Ord Cestus, during the height of the Clone Wars. Despite his position, Debbikin was one of the few Cestians who believed Obi-Wan Kenobi was speaking honsetly, when the Jedi arrived on Ord Cestus to investigation the sale of JK-series security droids to Count Dooku. However, for all his statements of support for the Jedi, Debbikin maintained a widespread spy net throughout the Core Worlds, especially Coruscant. His spies relayed that Chancellor Palpatine would destroy Ord Cestus rather than let it side with the Separatists. When his son, Debbikin the Younger, was kidnapped by Nemonus, Debbikin reluctantly agreed that it was time the Five Families allied themselves with the Old Republic. Debbikin was killed, along with most members of the Five Families, when the ARC trooper Jangotat infiltrated their secret bunker on the Kibo Plateau and ordered the Nexu to fire on his location. (TCD)

Debbikin the Younger
this young man was the son of Debbikin, the director of research for the Five Families of Ord Cestus, during the height of the Clone Wars. When his father was unable to attend meetings, Debbikin the Younger would attend in his place. Based on feedback from his father's spies on Coruscant, Debbikin the Younger suggested that the Five Families pledge their loyaly to the Old Republic, in order to ensure their continued grasp on the manufacturing facilities on Ord Cestus. His goal was to have the Five Families become the Republic's most prominent supplier of high-tech droids, bringing them to galactic prominence. He also expressed concern over Caiza Quill's ability to maintain his position on the Five Families, since the X'Ting failed to eliminate G'Mai Duris from her position as Regent. He was among the Five Families members who were kidnapped by Nemonus. (TCD)

Debble Agreement
this compromise was worked out by Leia Organa-Solo and Garv Debble with the Noghri which were cleaning up Honoghr. The Noghri had wanted to eradicate every speck of Imperial presence on the planet Wayland, before they relocated there after the clean-up activities proved futile. The agreement was a spur-of-the-moment, private deal that allowed certain artifacts to be recovered. One unusual outcome of the agreement occurred after it was discovered that Emperor Palpatine maintained a variety of alien artifacts in the cloning facility on Wayland. The New Republic tried to keep the facility a secret, but alien races demanded that they be allowed to come to Wayland and recover their lost artifacts. In order to support the influx of aliens, the city of New Nystao was greatly expanded beyond housing the agents of the New Republic. (SOP, HT)

Debble, Garv
this New Republic archaeologist insisted that relics plundered by the Empire from other worlds should be returned to their proper owners. Debble and his team were appointed to investigate and document all the artifacts and information discovered in the Empire's Mount Tantiss facility, following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. He was nearly thwarted in this effort by Ekhrikhor, who wanted all of the Emperor's belongings destroyed. Leia Organa Solo eventually intervened and allowed Debble to complete his work. (TTSB, SOP)

Deb-deb

Debo
this Talid was one of the many which gathered along the course of the Ungasan Cross Country podrace, taking potshots at the passing racers with a primitve slugthrower. (GMR2)

Deboora, Marse
this man was married to Sinya Deboora, and lived on the planet Seltos. Marse was a firm supporter of the New Republic, and was unaware of his wife's pro-Imperial stance. He was convinced of her position, however, when undercover agents from the Republic infiltrated Seltos to keep her from gaining power. (TSK)

Deboora, Sinya
this woman, the wife of Marse Deboora, was the Magister of Trade for the planet Seltos. She was also a staunch supporter of the Empire, and worked to maintain Imperial control of the planet. When the populace rose up and overthrew the government some years after the Battle of Endor, Sinya and Lieutenant Hensworth tried to regain power. However, a group of New Republic agents, working as part of Freedom Strike Seltos, was able to thwart their efforts. (TSK)

Deboota, Hira
this forensic doctor worked for the State Coroner's office on Coruscant during the New Order, and was one of the few beings ever to perform an autopsy on a Yaka. Doctor Deboota reported that the cyborg implants of the specimen were very similar to those of a Gank Killer. Doctor Deboota went so far as to theorize that the Gank implants were actually the "beta" versions of those which were used on the Yaka. (EGA)

DeBrek
this was one of the more common surnames used by the Duros people. Like all such names, DeBrek was used only for official business, to indicate one individual from another when in the presense of non-Duros. This name literally meant "starship crafter". (GCG)

Debrelle
this attractive near-human female worked as a clerk in the Mos Eisley branch of Zygian Savings and Loan. (GG7)

Deca Brun
this Galacian male was one of the primary candidates for succeeding Queen Veda, just before she abdicated the throne. His supporters often clashed with those of Wila Prammi, although neither camp seemed to oppose Prince Beju. Deca Brun was considered the popular favorite, having been a hero of many battles. He lacked political experience, though, and many questioned whether he could bring about the reforms he promised to make. He ran under the slogan that all Galacians were one people, and he was just another on eof them. Obi-Wan Kenobi later discovered that Brun's campaign was being financed by Offworld Mining Corporation, which was led by Xanatos. The funding was being relayed to Brun by Lonnag Giba, through a false front known as the Galacian Mining Corporation. Brun had claimed that his funding was coming from small Galacian interests, in order to enhance the "We Are One" motto. (MOC)

Decalegs

Decca
this female Hutt, the daughter of Gardulla, was one of the more powerful crimelords of the planet Mawan, during the years following the Great Purge. Decca once had a thriving spice smuggling business based on C-Foroon, until she was chased off by a rival. She ended up on Mawan, and saw an opportunity to gain power in the wake of the civil war. She was able to take control of the various power and transportation systems of the city of Naatan, much to the consternation of Striker and the other crimelords. It was Striker to attacked Decca's operations shortly after they were established, taking back control of the power grids. This left Decca angry, and she held a grudge against Striker ever since. However, when it was revealed that Striker was actually Granta Omega, Decca decided to hedge her bets, and formed an alliance with him. She added her fleet of ships to Omega's weapons, producing a strong opposition to the work of the Jedi Knights. However, the Jedi managed to replace the fuel she had been storing with wastewater, thanks to Swanny Mull and Rorq, and Decca immediately assumed she had been double-crossed by Striker. She broke off their alliance, and demanded revenge. When Decca discovered that Omoega had fled the planet, she was forced to deal with the Jedi. Master Yoda, who had arrived on Mawan shortly after Yaddle's death, insinuated that the Jedi had been scouting Mawan as the site of a satellite temple for the Jedi. Decca decided immediately that she didn't need any more trouble from the Jedi, and voluntarily left Mawan. (JQ6)

Decimator
this prototype weapons system was under development by the Old Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Decimator was essentially high-powered weapon that could be mounted to a tank for mobility. This tank became known as the Decimator Tank, and could be fitted with a variety of systems, in order to better meet the needs of specific battlefields. Information about the development of the Decimator, which was being jointly built on Eredenn and Alaris Prime, was intercepted by Boorka the Hutt. Boorka sold the information to the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and Count Dooku dispatched Sev'rance Tann to destroy the Decimator facilities. She obtained access codes on Alaris Prime, the took the Eredenn facility by force. Separatist production of the Decimator Tank was begun on Krant, but the facility was eventually destroyed by Jedi Master Echuu Shen-Jon and his contingent of clone troopers. (SWDB, GBC)

Decimator
see VT49 (LAWS)

Decimator Tank
this was the term used to describe the tank-like vehicle that was designed to carry the Decimator weapon into battle. Like the Decimator itself, the tank was originally designed by the Old Republic, but was produced by the Confederacy of Independent Systems after the plans were stolen by Sev'rance Tann. Similarly, the Separatist manufacturing facility on Krant was later destroyed by the Grand Army of the Republic, putting an end to the creation of Decimator Tanks. (GBC)

Decisive
one of the Imperial-class Star Destroyers in Prince-Admiral Krennel's fleet, the Decisive was paired with the Emperor's Wisdom during the blockade of Liinade III. Later, when Krennel began planning his conquest of Coruscant, he placed the two ships - along with his flagship, the Reckoning - at the forefront of his assault force. However, Krennel's forces were halted before they left Ciutric by a New Republic fleet led by Admiral Ackbar and the Home One. The Decisive took heavy damage from the combined firepower of the Home One and the Emancipator, and was knocked out of the battle early. Its crew eventually surrendered to the New Republic. (IR)

Deck 98 Nexus 326-KK
location aboard the Chimaera where Search Team 102 was killed while searching for Luke, Mara, and Talon Kaarde. (DFR)

Deck Sweeper
this was a model of stunning blaster produced by Merr-Sonn for use by police officers during the height of the New Order. It was originally developed based on the plans for the BlasTech DL-87 Firespray. Unlike the DL-87 weapon, however, the Deck Sweeper stunned its targets rather than injuring them. This gave the Deck Sweeper a slight advantage in firepower, and the ability to disable a large number of targets made it popular among pirates who didn't want to have the deaths of innocent people on their records. Despite its advantages, the weapon was nonetheless rejected by the Imperial military for the same reasons as the DL-87: a low rate of fire and short range. (PP, GUN, AEG)

Declann, Nial
this dark-skinned man was one of the original twelve Grand Admirals of the Empire. A man known for his threatening demeanor and morose personality, Declann was also a student of the Force. He could use a telepathic connection to his troops to merge them into a unified force. He developed his military expertise as a soldier in the Army of the Republic, surviving the Clone Wars before joining the Empire as a TIE Fighter pilot. His skills with the Force left him with a nagging question: why hadn't he ever been chosen for training by the Jedi Knights? Emperor Palpatine, recognizing his military skills and strength in the Force, began training Declann in the ways of the Sith. With these skills, Declann became one of the primary sources of coordination during the Battle of Endor, using his telepathic skills aboard the second Death Star to keep the Imperial forces aware of any possible Alliance threat. However, when Darth Vader turned on the Emperor and threw him down a power shaft, Declann felt the Emperor's death through the Force. Declann dropped his connection to the Imperial forces and tried to reach the Emperor, but the Death Star exploded before he could reach the throne room. Declann was killed in the explosion. (SWI66)

Declination
this game of mental acuity and speed was popular during the height of the New Order. Using the power of their thoughts, players maneuvered a simulated TIE Fighter through an asteroid field, eluding the pursuit of an opponent's vesse in an attempt to reach the far side of the asteroids. The game was played with a networked set of mental projectors and holographic displays, allowing up to eight players to participate in a single game. The projector units were attuned to the player's own brainwave patterns, and movements could be performed with just a thought. (GFT)

Decontamination Droid
Decon Droid for short, these machines are deployed into areas which - for natural or industrial reasons - are inaccessible to most lifeforms. These droids use a series of catalytic and chemical processes to break down the contaminants, removing them from the area and making it habitable again. (DFR)

Decor
this was starfighter pilot slang for the designations of rank each officer wore, and the respect and honor they deserved from other pilots. It was used disparagingly, because it meant flight officers had to keep their opinions to themselves. Many Captains and Commanders preferred to go "no decor" when not on a mission or in the presence of VIPs, since it maintained morale among the squadron-mates. (SOC)

Decoy Squad Five
this group of clone troopers was dispatched to secure the loading docks of the Jedi Temple, in the wake of Anakin Skywalker's purging of the Temple. After Chancellor Palpatine survived the so-called Jedi Rebellion, he ordered the Jedi Temple to be cleared of any living Jedi and secured. However, Decoy Squad Five was unprepared for the arrival of Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda, who disguised themselves as a drooling hunchback and his baby to gain access to the Temple. In a swift series of movements, the Jedi Masters ignited their lightsabers and eliminated all eight members of Decoy Squad Five. (E3N)

Decrilla, Damara

It was Deej and his older sons who discovered the Towani's crashed shuttle and took the children under their wing. His youngest son, Wicket, became good friends with Cindel. Deej helped the Towani children rescue their parents from the giant Gorax, and was given the White Wings of Hope by Logray, and the father and senior member of the rescue party. However, Deej was later captured by the Marauders when they attacked the Towani camp. He was freed by Wicket, Cindel, and Noa, and helped defeat the Marauders.

Deel himself was something of a scoundrel, albeit a well-educated one, and once performed at the Royal Hutt Hotel. He later attended the Royal House of Learning in Theed, as a way to further his own education while away from Ryloth. When the Federation invaded the planet, Deel joined many of his classmates in joining the Naboo Underground and fighting against the Federation's forces to free Naboo. After the advent of the New Order, Deel became something of a celebrity, appearing in a series of holovids.

Deep Core
a major stronghold of the Empire for decades, this area of the galaxy contained Byss. It was located between the Galactic Core (where the Core Worlds are located) and the very center of the known galaxy. It was the area of the galaxy with the greatest density of stars, and the intense gravitational mass of the Deep Core was thought to be impenetrable until Palpatine discovered a handful of safe hyperspace pathways. Throughout the era of the Old Republic, the Deep Core remained as mysterious as the Unknown Regions, and only a few brave explorers even bothered to try and penetrate its depths. At this center of the galaxy was a huge black hole, which made spaceflight - especially through hyperspace - extremely difficult. Many hyperspace lanes through the Deep Core were severely constricted pathways that led to dead-ends, since the density of gravity shadows was vastly greater than the rest of the galaxy. Once discovered, any hyperspace routes throught the Deep Core were jealously-guarded secrets, even after the Empire was defeated at Endor and relegated to the Imperial Remnant. Because the twisting pathways through the Deep Core were difficult to travel, Leia Organa Solo believed that they could be used to trap the Yuuzhan Vong fleet, if only the Imperial Remnant would allow the New Republic to have access to them. She offered Supreme Commander Gilad Pellaeon the Republic's complete intelligence on the Yuuzhan Vong in exchange for the knowledge of the Deep Core's hyperspace routes. Pellaeon gladly agreed, since the Deep Core was part of the New Republic anyway, and the knowledge of the hyperspace routes was essentially useless to the Imperial Remnant. (DE1, EGP, DW, PH)

Deep Core Haulers
this was the name given to those freighter captains licensed by the new Empire to haul cargo into the Deep Core Security Zone and the planets located within it. In order to obtain a license to operate as a Deep Core Hauler, a captain had to have registered with the Bureau of Ships and Services as an authorized Deep Core traveler, as well as an Imperial Security Authorization and an Imperial Intelligence Clearance. (DE1, PH)

Deepwater-class Light Freighter
this was a Mon Calamari transport ship design, which predated the standard Mon Calamari light freighter and was one of the first commercially-available Mon Calamari designs. It was designed for use by the Mon Calamari Commercial Expeditionary Service, and some 10,000 of the DeepWater freighters were produced. However, the Empire quickly dissolved the Expeditionary Service, and the DeepWater freighters were auctioned off to private parties. Like all Mon Calamari designs, each DeepWater freighter is slightly different. One unique feature of this freighter was that it was submersible, and could travel to a depth of a kilometer with some adjustments to its shielding configuration. The DeepWater-class freighter measured 45 meters in length, and was controlled by a pilot and co-pilot. It could transport up to six passengers and 85 metric tons of cargo, and was armed with a single laser turret in its stock configuration. (SS)

(MMY, PDS)

Defel
the Defel were a wraith-like race of mammals which had fur that absorbed normal light, allowing an individual to appear to be nothing more than a shadow. The Defel race was native to the planet Af'El. In ultraviolet light, they appeared as short, muscular lupine humanoids with thick fur and unusual, three-jointed fingers. In the visible spectrum of light, the fur of the Defel absorbed most wavelengths, making the creature virtually invisible to most humanoid races. They lived underground on the planet Af'El, mining the various metals in the planet's crust and outer core. Because of their knowledge of mining and ores, Defels were known to be excellent metallurgists. Because of their ability to "hide" in normal light, Defels were also known to be excellent hunters and thieves. They could see equally well in the dark and in ultraviolet lighting, and their eyes appeared to glow red in normal light. In bright, normal light, however, a Defel was more or less blind. Those Defel who travel offworld during the daylight hours wore special visors to protect their eyes. (DFR, DFRSB, CCG, WOTC, UANT, GMR7)

Defel
this was the native language of the Defel race. (UANT)

Defender
Merr-Sonn's high-altitude ion mine, the Defender was used extensively by the Empire to blockade rebellious worlds. The mines were deployed in orbit, and were equipped with cloaking revvers and scatter beams to render themselves nearly undetectable. Any ship travelling within 10 kilometers of the mine triggered the device, which fired ion energy at the ship similar to an ion cannon. The disabled ship was forced to float in space until boarded by Imperial forces. (CFG)

Defender
this in-system starfighter was developed by the New Republic in the wake of the Battle of Endor, although it saw its greatest popularity after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. The primary mission of the 5.3-meter-long Defender was to defend planets against Imperial raids. Although it lacked the speed of a A-Wing, the Defender was well-armed and highly maneuverable. It two wings were mounted on S-foils, and could stowed alongside the fuselage during routine patrols or extended outward and downward when in attack posture. It was armed with three laser cannons, one on the nose and one on each side of the fuselage. In order to save space and weight, the Defender was not equipped with a hyperdrive. (SOP, SWG2, DARK)

Defender
one of three Bakuran Bakura-class destroyers deployed by Hortel Ossilege in an effort to assist the New Republic in breaking the blockade of the Corellian System. It was one of four ships, along with the Intruder, Watchkeeper, and Sentinel, that were built specifically for the defense of the Bakura System, in the wake of the Battle of Bakura. After the decisive battle against the Sacorrian Triad, only the Sentinel and the Defender survived to return to their postings as part of Bakura's defense. (AS, CTD, FH2)

Defender

Defender-class Assault Carrier
this starship design was one of the new classes approved for use by the New Republic Navy. It measured 700 meters in length, and was based on the Majestic-class cruiser. Its primary mission profile was as a fighter platform, since it was only armed with 20 anti-fighter laser cannons. Like the Majestic-class cruiser, the Defender-class carrier required a crew of 4,050, but only 20 gunners and the capacity to transport up to 700 troops. They had Class-1 hyperdrives. They were originally designed to transport three full squadrons of Defender starfighter, but many were modified to carry E-Wings. (SOL, CTD)

Defender-class Star Destroyer
known to the New Republic military as a "pocket Star Destroyer," these new-class ships were 65% the size of an Imperial-I class Destroyers but had the firepower of the Imperial-II class. They were the best-defended ships in the galaxy at the time of the Battle of N'zoth, with virtually impervious armor plating and shields. The Defender-class could transport a full wing of starfighters for assault missions, as well as a wing of long-range fighters. They saw limited production as the New Republic down-sized its military after the negotiation of peace with Admiral Pellaeon and the Empire. At 1,040 meters in length, each Defender-class ship was armed with 40 heavy turbolaser batteries, 40 heavy turbolaser cannons, 20 ion cannons, 8 tractor beam projectors, and 8 concussion missile launchers. This version of Star Destroyer required a crew of 6,795, with 244 gunners and the capacity to transport 1,600 troops. The first of these ships was christened the Obi-Wan, after jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. (CTD, SOG, NEGV)

this Imperial Star Destroyer was under the command of Captain Essenton during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. In the wake of the Battle of Bastion, the Defiant was equipped with a gravitic amplitude modulator and reprogrammed by Jacen Solo and the Galactic Alliance to allow the Imperial forces to destroy a Yuuzhan Vong yammosk. With Borosk successfully defended, Grand Admiral Pellaeon sent the Defiant to Yaga Minor, where is once again helped drive off the Yuuzhan Vong. (FH1)

Deflection tower
a system of high-intensity deflector shields mounted on a configurable tower, these devices are the basis for many planetary defense systems. (SW)

Deflector shield
a force field that either repels or absorbs energy, a deflector shield was the primary means of protection used by most starships. These shields proved to be most useful in the vacuum of space, where the lack of atmosphere allowed them to operate at full capacity. (SW, HTTE)

Defstat
a series of levels of readiness used to define the operations of the Death Star battle station. Defstat Zero indicated the normal operation of the station. Defstat One indicated that the station was on alert, and all defenses were upgraded to operational station. This level is only a warning level. Defstat Two indicates that an enemy craft has been identified in the space surrounding the Death Star's position. Defstat Three was the highest level, indicating that the station was actively engaged in combat. (DSTC)

Dega
this world, the primary planet in the Dega System of the Elrood Sector, was the primary mining colony for Radell Mining Corporation until the veins of minerals and ores dried up during the early years of the New Order. The miners left the planet, leaving rusting equipment and a polluted ecosystem behind. Smugglers have taken refuge on the planet, hiding in the safest mining tunnels. Dega's day takes up 19 standard hours, and its year encompasses 295 local days. (PG3, OE)

Degan Pirates
this was the name given to the raiders who operated in the Dega System during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Degan Pirates were decimated when they tried to attack a Trade Federation convoy, only to discover that Trade Federation Battleships - loaded with droid starfighters - had been hidden within the convoy. (SON)

Degarian II
this was one of the faster starships owned by Senator Crote of Frego, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He allowed Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to take the ship to Coruscant, escorting Lena Cobral back to the capital world to testify against the Cobral family. However, the Jedi were wary of another trap set by the Cobral family, and opted to hire passage back to Coruscant. When the Jedi finally did arrive on Coruscant, they learned that the Degarian II had been attacked while en route, and that there were no survivors. The ship itself was destroyed in the ambush. (TOW)

Degarienne, Anii
this woman was Matt Turhaya's wife. She died about a year before the Imperial attack on Janara III, in a freak accident at a weapons manufacturing facility.

DeGoort, Val
this man served the Imperial Navy as an Admiral during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was in command of the flagship Valor, in orbit around Goroth Prime, and controlled the ships which patrolled the Goroth System. He was respected by his subordinates, but a mistake in which he accidentally rammed the Valor into another ship during a training exercise earned him a demerit and the posting at Goroth Prime. For his own part, Admiral DeGoort despised Crela Nen and her adherence to every shred of Imperial bureaucracy. (GSE)

Deif
this Corellian criminal served Black Sun under Zekka Thyne, before the alien was imprisoned on Kessel. (TFE)

Deign Lian
this Yuuzhan Vong warrior was from a prestigious family of warriors, and served as Shedao Shai's second-in-command during the subjugation of Dubrillion and Destrillion. However, Deign Lian himself had shown none of his family's ruthlessness in battle when he was assigned to the Legacy of Torment. Deign constantly questioned Shedao's commands, unable to fully understand the military and psychological aspects of the invasion plans. This did not stop him from plotting with the Yuuzhan Vong Warmaster in their home galaxy, reporting on Shedao Shai's every move and highlighting his every mistake. Meanwhile, he obeyed Shedao Shai, although occasional lapses brought anger and physical retaliation from Shai. After Shedao Shai died in a duel with Corran Horn on Ithor, Deign Lian assumed command of the Yuuzhan Vong forces and unleashed a bioweapon on Ithor, reducing virtually all forms of life to bacteria-ridden husks. He then made to return to Dubrillion, where he awaited orders from Tsavong Lah. However, Traest Kre'fey ordered the Corusca Rainbow to activate her gravity well projectors, keeping the Yuuzhan Vong ships near Ithor and reducing their ability to defend themselves with dovin basals. In the end, the ships of the New Republic decimated the Yuuzhan Vong fleet. Deign Lian was killed when the Legacy of Torment exploded under heavy fire. (DTR)

Deila
this young woman was a member of The Young, and a contemporary of Nield and Cerasi. After the elders of the Daan and Melida were defeated, Deila was named to the new government's Young Security Squad, serving as Obi-Wan Kenobi's second-in-command. After Nield exiled Obi-Wan, Deila tried to remain loyal to Nield. When he ordered her to allow Mawat to retrieve the weapons Obi-Wan had stored, she allowed him to do it because Nield was the governor. However, she learned from Joli that Mawat wanted to take control of Zehava for himself. Joli and Deila hid after Mawat ordered them to take up arms, hoping to flee the inevitable war that was brewing. They then provided information to Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, telling the Jedi of Mawat's deception. (DOD, UP)

Deja
this Jawa worked as a mechanic in the city of Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, where he was known to take more naps than complete chores he was assigned. Deja had been exiled from his tribe because of his prophetic visions, which included the arrival of "white-skeleton warriors" on Tatooine. His shaman, after finding the remains of a disabled sandcrawler in the desert shortly afterward, exiled Deja out of fear. During a repair job, Deja fell asleep in the hold of a transport. A malfunction in the drive systems caused the ship to lift off and jump into hyperspace, and it was Deja who managed to repair the hyperdrive. The crew accepted him for a short while, but his smell and his constant cursing quickly irritated them. They dropped Deja off on an unspecified world and fled. Deja spent the rest of his time catching naps and traveling the galaxy, and stopped over on the planet Nubia for a short while during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (CCW)

Dejarik
a holographic game played on a circular board with holographic pieces, dejarik was one of the oldest and most popular games ever created in the galaxy.

The exact origins of dejarik have been lost in time, and scholars and historians continue to argue over them. (CCG, CCG2, GFT)

Dejgi
the back feet of this creature were considered to be good luck charms, and were often worn on a short chain. (GG11)

Dejock
this young man served the Old Republic navy as an Ensign aboard the Ranger, during the height of the Clone Wars.

Dekker, Sann
this man was one of the prison guards known as the Helmet Squad, working at the Oovo IV prison facility during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Dekker was one of a multitude of corrupt guards at the facility, and was known as a ruthless extortionist. A group of Hutt crimelords placed a bounty being placed on Dekker's head, in connection with several other bounties which targetted members of the Helmet Squad. Jango Fett eventually claimed during his "rescue" of Bendix Fust. (BH)

Dekluun
this Sephi was a Commander in the armed forces that protected the planet Thustra during the height of the Clone Wars. When the Old Republic arrived on Thustra in an attempt to persuade King Alaric to remain with the Republic, Dekluun and his forces were deployed to protect the palace. However, Dekluun's position was betrayed by Senator Navi, who provided their location to the clone troopers being led by the Jedi Padawan Pix. Pix ordered Commander Clutch to attack, and their assault destroyed the base from which Dekluun was working. All soldiers, including Dekluun himself, were killed in the blast. (J5)

Deko Neimoidia

Deksi Fivvl
this old Aqualish served as Naz Felyood's longtime engineer aboard the pirate ship Jynni's Virtue during the height of the New Order. Fivvl also served as the ship's parttime historian, since one of his primary hobbies was studying the history of the galaxy. Much of his information was shoddy at best, but Deksi produced enough valid information to keep the crew from getting into trouble. Much of Deksi's information about the planet Korriban, however, was later rendered inaccurate by the Jedi historians of the New Republic. After landing on Korriban, Deksi and the crew found themselves beset by Korriban Zombies, when Captain Felyood tried to take the Heart of Graush. In an effort to make sure the zombies didn't get the ship, Babbnod Luroon set off the self-destruct mechanism, killing the remaining crew as well as the zombies. (PH)

Del
this Alliance soldier was assigned to Oracle Base, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (FBS)

Del
this was a common component used to create the names given to Cerean males. In general, male Cereans given an individual name, which is added to the names of their father and grandfather. Complete male names are arranged based on harmony and cadence, but the literal meanings are arranged to ensure proper descriptions. The name Del described a philosopher or idealist, or referred to philosophy. (GCG)

Del Korrot
this Cerean emerged from the Clone Wars and presented himself to Emperor Palpatine as a Jedi hunter. Palpatine was amused by Del Korrot's audacity, and agreed to support Korrot's efforts within the Empire. Palpatine allowed Korrot to freelance outside the Empire's borders, so long as his Imperial duties were completed. Using the starship Shadow I, Del Korrot traveled the galaxy looking for any Jedi Knights who might have survived the Jedi Purge. He wore a suit of cortosis-impregnated armor, and often killed innocent beings simply because they were in the way. He claimed these innocents were latent Force-sensitives, but Emperor Palpatine began to tire of his unnecessary killings. The Emperor sent Darth Vader to eliminate Del Korrot, and the Cerean was unable to overcome all the methods of attack the Dark Lord could bring at him. Eventually, Vader was able to strike down Del Korrot and kill him. (DSSB)

Del Velmor
this was the capital city of the planet Velmor. (WOTC)

Del, Shondra
this Alliance agent was instrumental in bringing together the rebellious forces in Elrood Sector, and was responsible for recruiting Jacob Nive and the Khuiumin Survivors into the struggle against Moff Andal. She spent much of time in Elrood Sector posing as the independent Captain of the freighter Stars of Elrood, which allowed her to remain in contact with Gwynn, the owner of Gwynn Dispatch and Shondra's primary contact. Under cover, she worked with the Friends of Paran, supplying them with goods and armament while cultivating their ties to the Alliance. Eventually, the Friends of Paran led her to Jacob Nive. (OE)

Dela
this planet was the financial center of the Centrality. Dela was Lando Calrissian's destination after winning the Millennium Falcon in a sabacc match. Unfortunately, Lando's piloting and astrogation skills were poorly suited for hyperspace travel, and he ended up in the Oseon system instead. (LCM, ECH)

Delacrix System
this planetary system orbited a configuration of three stars. During the last decades of the Old Republic, there was a thriving trade between all the inhabited worlds of the system. (FFT)

Delahrg, Riggins
this man was the Imperial Governor of Tallaso during the Galactic Civil War, and was known as the consummate conman. He enjoyed a good life onTallaso, but was always a big fish in a little pond. Following the Battle of Endor, the Empire forgot about Tallaso, and Delahrg was overthrown in a coup de etat. He fled to Vandron, where he bluffed his way into a position on the planetary government. That government crumbled, and Delahrg was once again without a job. However, he found steady work as a politician-for-hire, selling his verbal skills and knowledge of Imperial politics to the highest bidder. (HR)

Delaluna
this was the natural moon of the planet Junction 5. Delaluna had a breathable atmosphere, and many settlers from Junction 5 chose to make their home on the moon. More than 20 years before the onset of the Clone Wars, the natives of Delaluna were believed to have developed a weapon that could be used to against large-scale targets. While the authorities on Delaluna denied the existence of the weapon, the natives of Junction 5 - who called it the Annihilator - lived in constant fear of being destroyed by it. (LOJ)

Delan, Gendal
a native of Pendarr III, this man was the leader of the military group known as Pendarran Warriors. They assisted the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic during the Clone Wars, and were later targeted for elimination during Emperor Palpatine's purge of the Jedi. Gendal was killed by Imperial agents, leaving his son Kolor an orphan. (WBC)

Delan, Kolor
a native of the planet Pendarr III, Kolor was the son of Gendal Delan. When Emperor Palpatine rose to power and eliminated the Jedi Knights, he also eliminated the Pendarran Warriors. His purge included Kolor's father, Gendal, and Kolor grew to hate the Empire with every fiber of his being. When he was old enough, the orphaned Kolor formed his own military operation, Pendarran's Revenge. This new group assisted the Alliance several times during the Galactic Civil War, but after the Battle of Endor, Kolor turned his attention to the New Republic. It was unknown if he held a grudge against the fledgeling government, or if someone hired Pendarran's Revenge to act against them. (WBC)

Deland Tyerell
born on Tatooine, this Aleena was the son of the noted podracer, Ratts Tyerell. A noted podracer himself, Deland went by the nickname of "Pabs" during his racing career. He got his start with his brother, Doby, racing on backwater worlds in unsactioned races such as the race through the Great Dordon Caves on Euceron. It was on Euceron that Deland and Oby made friends with Anakin Skywalker, and Deland even defended the young Jedi Padawan during a fight with Sebulba. The scuffle which ensued left Deland with a broken arm, but this left Anakin to pilot their podracer. Their well-intentioned plan to free their sister, Djulla, from slavery nearly cost Anakin his life, as they had agreed to assist Maxo Vista in rigging the race. Only Anakin's skill kept him alive and avoided disaster. However, Doby and Deland knew that they were in big trouble. In the confusion of the race's finish, they grabbed their sister and fled Euceron. In the wake of his father's death at the Boonta Eve Classic on Tatooine, Deland dropped his nickname and established the Ratts Tyerell Foundation, with the goal of outlawing podracing on the pretext of the emotional damage it can cause to the families of the racers. Just before the Clone War, Delend managed to convince the authorities at the Doolis Podrace Arena, on Caprioril, to cancel their annual race. (HNN4, JQ3)

Delanoth
this gas giant was the fourth planet of the Prakith System, located in the Deep Core region of the galaxy. It was orbited by eight moons. (PH)

Delantine
this planet sided with the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War, and was supportive prior to the Battle of Yavin. The planet was rich in ores and minerals that were used to create parts of many weapons, which made it a strategic asset. After the battle, the Alliance chose Trux Zissu to act as the planet's governor. The natives of the planet spoke no less than sixteen different languages. The year on Delatine lasts just over 365 local days. (SA1, SA2)

Delari Prime
this primary planet in the Delari System, located in the Corva Sector, was a bountiful world until it was hit by an asteroid several millenia before the Galactic Civil War. As a result, the planet pushed closer to the twin stars at the center of the system. The climatic changes which occurred rendered Delari Prime a desert wasteland. The Empire established a communications base on Delari Prime, but it was abandoned after the Battle of Endor. The base was eventually sold to an elderly archaeologist. (SWJ6)

Delassin VI
this oceanic world had a strong heritage of seagoing merchants and sailors. They have taken repulsorlift technology and used it to make life on the sea easier. (SWJ6)

Delat Personal Electronics
this small corporation, based in the Elrood Sector, produced a variety of consumer goods, including datapads and holographic projectors. (PG3)

Delaya

Delaya-class Courier
this ancient Hoersch-Kessel starship was highly aerodynamic, having a number of large steering vanes and airfoils. These were tied into a computer system that could adjust each one's angle for maximum maneuverability. The ship's twenty-one engines were arranged in groups of three, and each group was connected to a servo-mechanism that allowed them to be independently positioned for direction and maximum thrust. The Delaya-class could attain speeds of 950 kilometers an hour in atmosphere. The stock ship was lightly armed, and had minimal hull plating. These could be added for combat use, although the Delaya-class was designed to transport personnel from planet to planet. The Delaya-class courier measured 70 meters in length, and required a pilot and co-pilot to operate. The ship had room for up to 8 passengers and 10 metric tons of cargo, and was often armed with a front-mounted proton torpedo launcher and a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons. (EGV, TOJC)

Delbaeth, Ivixa
this ancient man was one of a handful of forward-thinking Jedi Masters who developed the idea of creating a mobile base of operations for the Jedi of the Old Republic. Some 400 years before the Battle of Yavin, these Jedi Masters felt that the Jedi - as well as the rest of the Republic - were resting on their laurels, and needed to ensure their continued development and advancement or become stagnant. To this end, Delbaeth and his fellow Jedi designed the massive training ship Chu'unthor, to serve as mobile base of operations from which the Jedi could observe the galaxy and keep pace with its trends. (PJSB)

Delckis, Rannd
an Alliance Communications Officer who served on the Flurry at Bakura, Delckis was a native of the Virgillian System and a veteran of the Virgillian Civil War. Delckis was born into the aristocracy, and even attended the Imperial Academy. After graduation, Delckis served on the Stormwind as a junior communications assistant. Fatefully, the Stormwind was ordered to the Virgillian System to put down rebellious activity on the primary planet's forested moon. Delckis was forced to accompany his commanding offcier, Captain Jarroth, to the moon's surface, where he witnessed the brutal interrogation of suspected freedom fighters. Rather than return to the oppression of the Empire, Delckis defected and stayed behind when the Stormwind took off. However, Delckis was not welcomed into the ranks of the freedom fighters with open arms, given his family history and his initial support of the Empire. Tessa Manchisco, however, recognized his skills and his loyalties, and requested his presence onboard the Flurry. Rannd proved to be an invaluable resource, providing the Virgillians with expertise in the use of Imperial sensors and the HoloNet. Unfortunately, Delckis was killed when the Flurry was destroyed during the Battle of Bakura. (TB, TBSB)

Deld, Corlin Quarle
this man was Daven Quarle's grandfather, and one of the principle owners of Verkuylian BactaCo. He was considered one of the leaders of the planet Verkuyl, until it was nationalized by the Empire. He was known as a cautious, even paranoid, businessman, and the headquarters of Verkuylian BactoCo were riddled with secret passageways and hidden rooms. It was Deld who bought the planet Verkuyl originally, recognizing the potential profits of the vast alazhi forests. He built the factories and hired the workers, and was known as a fair and honest leader despite the fact that he held the workers as indentured workers on ten-year contracts. When the Empire nationalized Verkuyl, Deld erased the entire computer database on Verkuylian BactaCo, in an effort to ensure the Imperial forces wouldn't see his business dealings. (TFNR)

Delderaan

this woman was a noted entertainment reporter for the Chandrilan Daily Messenger during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GFT)

Delegation of Two Thousand
this was the term used to describe the 2,000 Senators of the Old Republic who signed the so-called Petition of the Two Thousand, which called for the elimination of certain emergency powers that had been granted to Chancellor Palpatine during the height of the Clone Wars. Although Palpatine agreed to hear the petition, he twisted its intentions when discussing it later with Anakin Skywalker. Palpatine told Anakin that the petition was not a call for a return to normalcy in the Republic, but the opening salvo in a Jedi-led plot to overthrow the Chancellor's office and place control of the galaxy in the hands of the Jedi Council. According to Palpatine, the Delegation of the Two Thousand that drafted and signed the petition was under the control of the Jedi Council's powers of persuasion. (IS3, E3N)

this short-statured woman was one of the many individuals who lived and worked on the BioCruiser in the year following the Battle of Naboo. She was sent by Uni to greet Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker when they arrived on the ship at the behest of the Old Republic Senate. (JAD)

Deleta
the Telosian gladiator was one of the combatants in the game of Katharsis, several years before the Battle of Naboo. (DOR)

Delevar
this Alliance soldier was the only rookie chosen for inclusion in Han Solo's Endor assault team. He served under Bren Derlin, but he was a nervous, trigger-happy youth. He nearly gave the commandos' position away trying to take pot-shots at the Imperial forces, but Derlin was able to restrain him each time. Note that the Star Wars Customizable Card Game - Endor expansion claims Delevar was a veteran of the Battle of Hoth. He was a scout and medic for Solo's assault team, and prided himself on being an effiicent soldier in General Madine's commando forces. (MTS, CCG10)

Delfas
this was one of the most common names used by the Farghul people. (UANT)

Della, Gaylan
this Alliance agent's cell was based on the planet Veron, but was compromised by Imperial spies who managed to infiltrate its ranks. Della himself was captured, but was later rescued by an Alliance team sent to Veron to investigate his disappearance. (PG1)

Dellalt
a planet located within the Tion Hegemony, Dellalt was at one time part of a strategic cluster of pre-Old Republic Expansionist growth. It was during this period that the planet came under the watchful eye of Xim the Despot, who hoped to use it as his base of operations when he began his galactic conquest. Dellalt became the primary jewel in Xim's empire. He built huge vaults on the planet's southern continent, and the starship Queen of Ranroon was en-route to deliver a huge shipment of war materiel when Xim fell at the Third Battle of Vontor. The Queen was hidden in the mountains near the vaults, until it was discovered by Han Solo and Badure. Since then, a large mining operation has flourished on Dellalt, but it started to stagnate under the ownership of J'uoch and R'all. As with much of the Tion Hegemony during the rule of Emperor Palpatine, Dellalt was virtually forgotten. Dellalt has two natural satellites, and is home to the Swimming People, a race of aquatic sauropteroids. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Dellalt was overrun during the second wave of attacks. (HSL, HT, EGP)

Delois, Ygal
this man was one of the best fighters of his generation on the planet Shiva IV. He pledged his allegiance to Aron Peacebringer during the years leading up to the Battle of Hoth, working with both human and T'Syriel to unite the population of the planet. Delois served as Aron's chief aide, ensuring that the day-to-day running of Illyriaqum was handled smoothly. During a mission to investigate the fate of the city of K'avor, Delois and Aron discovered Leia Organa, who had crashlanded on the planet. Leia was in the sector to investigate the build-up of Imperial forces in the area, and her shuttle had been hit by a micromine. Unknown to Aron at the time, Delois was plotting to overthrow his leadership of the Calian Confederacy and assume control for himself. He allied himself with Imperial General Sk'ar, and helped ensure that Aron was captured. His dreams of power were shattered, however, when Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, and Chewbacca arrived on Shiva IV to rescue Leia. They apprehended Sk'ar's warship as it attempted to destroy Illyriaqum, and Delois was defeated by Luke in combat. Delois was captured and put in prison as a traitor to the Calian Confederacy. (MC53, MC53)

Delorf
a legendary race of aliens which were supposed to have inhabited a system near the Galactic Core, the Delorf were a pastoral race who never cared for technology.

Delrian was a prison planet used to incarcerate the worst of criminals. During their stay on Delrian, prisoners were put to work in the mines that riddled the planet's crust, excavating ores that were sold to help fund the prison's operations. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Wat Tambor was incarcerated there before he was rescued by Separatist commandos. Doctor Evazan was also imprisoned there, until he escaped to the Hindasar System. Use of the Delrian prisons continued during the early years of the New Republic, as a deterrent against the various forms of unrest that cropped up in the wake of the Battle of Endor. (MTS, SWI67, GCG)

Delta 1
this was one of two zinsian procesing plants located in the Nihun Valley, on the planet Brosi. (AIR)

Delta 2
this was one of two zinsian procesing plants located in the Nihun Valley, on the planet Brosi. (AIR)

Delta Base
Mors Odrion and Rekara were assigned to this Alliance base shortly after the Battle of Yavin. It was located on the moon of New Kisge, in Suolriep Sector. The base was named for the famed Delta Unit of Scandium Team. (BGS, SSR, SWJ11)

Delta Case
this was Admiral Traest Kre'fey's plan for extricating Corran Horn and his team from Garqi, during the Yuuzhan Vong occupation of the planet. It involved a new tactic of battling against coralskippers, forcing them to maneuver and drawing power away from they dovin basal shields. (DTR)

Delta Emergency Code
this was the Imperial code signal which activated the bounty hunters who were protecting Project Orrad on Venaari, during the early years of the New Republic. (SWJ5)

Delta Seven
this sector of the planet Jerne saw many battles during the Galactic Civil War. (CSWDW)

Delta Source
this was the name given to the Imperial source of information about the activities of the New Republic, some five years after the Battle of Endor. It was one of many espionage systems left behind by the Empire when Coruscant was retaken by the Republic. Delta Source, however, wasn't a being. It was a fairly simple combination of technology and nature. One of the vast number of maintenance droids that worked in the natural areas surrounding the Imperial Palace made regular stops to prune and maintain the ch'hala trees grown nearby. These ch'hala trees, which reacted to all manner of vibration, served as a form of organic microphone. Deep inside one of these trees, attached to its taproot, was a communications tube that had fiber sensors implanted to the tree and a comm link. The maintenance droid would download information that had been recorded by the ch'hala tree, then transmit it on top of other maintenance information. Because of the effects of Delta Source, the early leaders of the New Republic considered moving their base of operations off Coruscant. Before they knew the true nature of Delta Source, it was believed that Delta Source was a technology-based system that was built into the Imperial Palace. (HTTE, TLC)

Delta Squad
this was one of the first groups of clone troopers that were trained as commandos, during the build-up to the Battle of Geonosis and the Clone Wars. Because they were one of the first two such squads decanted on Kamino, Delta Squad was the first to experience the intense rush of information provided by the heads-up display inside the helmet of their Katarn armor. Like most such units, Delta Squad was made up of four specially-trained troopers - nicknamed Darman, Jay, Taler, and Vin - who were trained to fight as a unit, without assistance. Unfortunately, Darman was the only member of Delta Squad to survive the Battle of Geonosis. (RCHC)

Delta Squadron
this was Captain Milnn's squadron of Imperial TIE Fighters, serving as part of Admiral Giel's armada during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (MC61)

Delta-12 Skysprite
this small, two-person transport ship was developed by Kuat Drive Yards during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was equipped with sublight engines, and required a separate hyperdrive ring to achive faster-than-light travel. The Delta-12 was essentially a larger version of the Delta-7 Aethersprite, although the weapons systems were removed. Note that the description of the Delta-Twelve as a larger version of the Delta-Seven comes from Survivor's Quest, which places a Delta-Twelve aboard the D-Three Dreadnaught of Outbound Flight. However, the HoloNet News website indicates that the Delta-Seven was a new ship developed shortly before the Clone Wars. This was at or after the time that the Outbound Flight Project was supposed to have been launched. About ten years after the Battle of Geonosis, Kuat Drive Yards sold the entire Delta line to Sienar Fleet Systems, choosing to concentrate on capital ships instead of fighters. (SQ)

Delta-6 Aethersprite
this was a starfighter developed during the years following the Battle of Naboo. This may simply be a typographical error in Jedi Quest: The School of Fear, referring instead to the Delta-7 Aethersprite. About ten years after the Battle of Geonosis, Kuat Drive Yards sold the entire Delta line to Sienar Fleet Systems, choosing to concentrate on capital ships instead of fighters. Where the Delta-7 was essentially a sort-bodied snubfighter, the Delta-6 was a long-nosed fighter, although it retained the arrowhead shape and rear cockpit location. (JQ5, SQ, TCG8)

Delta-7
this modified Aethersprite-class light interceptor was part of the small fleet of ships maintained by the Jedi Knights, some 22 years before the Battel of Yavin. Used by Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Delta-7 was one of the first ships to be equipped with a TransGalMeg Syliure-31 hyperdrive booster ring, giving it independence from a hyperdrive-equipped support ship. About ten years after the Battle of Geonosis, Kuat Drive Yards sold the entire Delta line to Sienar Fleet Systems, choosing to concentrate on capital ships instead of fighters. (SWDB, X2, SQ)

Delta-9 Base

this was a strong, spicy wine which was favored in some of the galaxy's seedier cantinas. Unlike most alcoholic beverages, which acted as depressants when imbibed, Deltron Spice Wine was an addictive stimulant. (LTA4, MC24)

Delund
this was one of the four Imperial pilots who agreed to defect from service aboard the Rand Ecliptic with Biggs Darklighter, just prior to the Battle of Yavin. He later helped Biggs and the Alliance steal a group of X-Wing starfighters from the main Incom Industries' facility, shortly before the attack on the first Death Star. During the mission, it was Delund who discovered the headless body of Peate Kurin, after the pilots ejected from their TIE Fighters. (SWED)

Delvardus
one of the high-ranking Imperial officers that survived the death of the Empire, Delvardus set up his own fleet deep in the Core Systems. He was one of the many warlords fighting for control of the Empire, and was present when Daala convened the warlords at Tsoss Beacon. Delvardus was a tall, skeletal man with dark brown hair and bright white eyebrows. He had been secretly using Imperial funds to built his own Super-class Star Destroyer, known as the Night Hammer. He had proclaimed himself Superior General, but like all the other warlords whose squabbling had kept them from making any real headway against the New Republic, he died at Tsoss Beacon when Daala poisoned him. (DS)

Delvaren, Andos
this tall Rabaanite warrior was forever known as the second-best of his caste. He wore the warrior's red bandoleer, and had been awarded the sunburst sigil of a combat artst. However, Andos was continually bested by Mika Streev, and this rankled Andos deeply. He desired to be the best, to have the power and prestige that came with being his planet's chosen champion. To this end, he agreed to help the Empire subjugate the Ishanna System. Andos hoped that this would allow him to kill Streev and become Rabaan's champion. He brought the Imperials to the Combat Moon just as Streev and the S'krrr Sh'shak were about to do battle. Andos brought with him a contingent of stormtroopers led by a man named Jan, and tried to lure Streev away. Streev was too quick, and he killed Jan before advancing on Andos. Andos realized that Streev was going to kill him as well, and fled the battle. (SWJ9)

Delvy
a native of the Forest Moon of Endor, this being was a Prince among his people. Prince Delvy was to be the guest of honor at a fete held by Chief Chirpa and his daughter, Kneesaa, but the party was disrupted by the Pugs. (ECAR)

DeMaal
this was one of the more common surnames used by the Duros people. Like all such names, DeMaal was used only for official business, to indicate one individual from another when in the presense of non-Duros. This name literally meant "space station crafter". (GCG)

DeMain, Leger
a native of Erysthes, this man was known as one of the galaxy's premier illusionists. In his youth, Leger was a virtual slave to the Corporate Sector Authority, toiling in the chak-root fields until he managed to escape by hijacking an Authority ship and fleeing with his family and friends. He later adopted the name of Leger DeMain, and pursued his dream of acting in holofeatures. He became one of the galaxy's most recognized entertainers, leading a travelling revue whose shows ended with his feats of illusion. They traveled the galaxy in DeMain's ship, the Siren III. In the much-hyped "Escape at Cloud City," DeMain nearly perished when his escape trick almost failed. He recovered from the physical wounds, but his stature as an entertainer was greatly diminished. He willingly made contact with the Alliance and offered his services as an informant, and used his status as an entertainer to gain access to Imperial facilities and obtain vital information. (CRO)

this was the name of the gladiator walker fighting team led by Demelza Mintori. (GFT)

Demesel
this planet, located in the Outer Rim's Meram Sector, was best-known as the base of operations for the Glasfir Ring. It was originally founded by a consortium of Inner Sphere businesses, and served as a trading center for a mulitude of Outer Rim frontier worlds. Business to and from the planet virtually dried up with the onset of the Galactic Civil War, and Demesel quickly became just another backwater world known for its criminal underworld. The average day on this temperate world lasts 22 standard hours, and its year lasts 285 local days. (GG11)

Demonsgate
this planet was located near Yvara, within the veil of the Kathol Rift. Known as NCW-86 on Imperial star charts, the planet was named for the volcanic activity which raged across its surface, which often ignited the gases in its atmosphere and appeared to be aflame when seen from space. Despite this inhospitable environment, Demonsgate had a healthy and diverse range of lifeforms. A day on Demonsgate lasted 31 standard hours, and its year encompassed 224 local days. It was on Demonsgate that the Aing-Tii Monks recovered the Codex from the navigator Makezh, fighting off bounty hunters and Imperial forces to obtain the device. (KR, E)

It was the first planet in the system, which had a normal day of 32 standard hours and a year which lasted 201 local days. The planet had two continents in a vast ocean. It was named for Arles Demophon, one of the founders of the Scout Service. It was rumored that the Empire had sabotaged the system's stellar observatory, allowing them to keep the inhabitants quiet before they discovered their sun's imminent death.

Demos Traxen
this serpentine being was an Imperial bounty hunter sent to Kallistas to capture Pallas Quintell shortly after the Battle of Yavin. He booked passage on the Red Fang with Tarquin Zian.

DEMP Gun
manufactured by Merr-Sonn for the Empire, the anti-Droid ElectroMagnetic Pulse gun was used to disable droids when only the droids were targetted. The pulse was modified to penetrate a droid's shielded circuitry and "stun" it. The pulse had little or no effect on most life forms. Two forms of the DEMP Gun were produced, a pistol and a carbine. Mekuun also produced a version of this weapon. Note that the Arms and Equipment Guide indicates that DEMP stands for Destructive Electromagnetic Pulse. (ISB, TB, COJ, AEG)

D'emperiolo
this was the Huttese word for a member of the Empire, or of Imperial military service. (GMR5)

Den
this was the Ewok word for "no". (BTRKS26)

Den Dhur
this male Sullustan was a reporter for the Galactic Blahblah, and served as a war correspondent during the height of the Clone Wars. He was equally known for his hard-hitting expose's and his hard drinking, both of which were punctuated by a loyalty to the truth that never faltered. He was a veteran of many of the Clone Wars' most intense battlefronts, including the Battle of Jabiim. It was on Jabiim that Dhur first encountered Filba the Hutt, when the Hutt nearly got him killed while trying to curry favor with Alto Stratus. From that point forward, Den's opinion of Filba - and Hutts in general - grew steadily worse, until he was stationed on Drongar during the Jasserak Engagement. After reaching Rimsoo Seven, Den was surprised to find Filba serving as the military hospital's supply sergeant. With a little digging, Den discovered Filba's connections to Black Sun and Admiral Tarnese Bleyd, and began to piece together their plans to sell processed bota on the black market. He planned a sweeping report on their criminal activities, hoping to bring Filba down once and for all. He was dismayed when Filba was poisoned, since the chance to link the Hutt to Black Sun was all but gone. He was left with reporting on the atrocities being committed by Phow Ji, who had been named the Rimsoo Seven combat instructor. Unfortunately, his scathing article was rewritten by his editors to provide an exceptionally positive slant, painting Phow Ji as a hero working in the worst of conditions. Sick of the war and tired of his career, Den Dhur fell deeper into an alcohol-induced stupor, until the Rimsoo Seven facility was attacked by Separatist forces. He sobered up almost immediately, and set to work helping the Republic forces break down the medical unit for transport. As the last transport was leaving, Den Dhur made a run for it, but noticed that Zan Yant's quetarra had been dropped in the chaos. Without regard for his own life, Den Dhur retrieved the quetarra, remembering how beautiful sounded when Zan played it. His elation was multiplied when a thermal bomb went off along his original path to the transport, and he realized that rescuing the instrument probably saved his life. His happiness, however, was short-lived. Their transport ship was hit by a Separatist missile, and Zan was killed almost instantly. It was of little consolation to Den Dhur that Doctor Yant had died happily, knowing that his quetarra had been rescued. When the Rimsoo had relocated, Den threw himself into his work, hoping that additional reports from the battlefront would help him forget the horrors he had witnessed. He began to find solace when he met Eyar Ahtram, who was as attracted to Den as he was to her. He also developed what he considered a mild disease while working with the people of Rimsoo Seven: a conscience. When he discovered that the bota plant was mutating at such a rate that it would be worthless in a few generations, Den probably could have written a Porasca Prize-winning story on the impact of the mutation. However, he realized that any such story would provide the Separatists with a reason to utterly destroy the Republic's presence on Drongar, so he held off on writing it. (MBS, MJH)

Den Sait Glass
a member of Klyn Shanga's Renatasian viligantes, searching out Vuffi Raa. (LCF)

Den Siva
this male Nagai served as Lumiya's chief aide, during the months following the Battle of Endor. He was also the advance scout of the Nagai invasion fleet, which had allied itself with Lumiya in the hopes of taking control of the galaxy from the Alliance of Free Planets. He requested that the Zeltron female Dani be turned over to him, so that he could study her physiology and learn what he could of the Zeltron race. He also became enamored of Dani, a feeling he had never quite experienced before for an alien being. When Kiro rescued Dani, Den Siva set out to recover her. He fought with Kiro over a river, smashing the Iskalonian's helmet and draining it of water. Kiro forced Den Siva over the edge, and both fell into the water. Kiro's body was never found, but Den Siva managed to survive and return to Lumiya on Kinooine. Den Siva was then placed in command of the assault force which destroyed Trenwyth. Later, on Zeltros, it was discovered that Den Siva had betrayed the Nagai to the Tofs, so that he could see Dani again. In the end, Den Siva decided that he had best leave the Nagai behind, and surrendered himself to Leia Organa and Dani. It was then revealed that Den Siva was actually half-Zeltron, a fact that became obvious as his attraction to Dani deepened. (MC96, MC97, MC103, LTA6, MC105, MC106, MC107)

DENA-1101-22-6

Denarii Nova
an area of the galaxy characterized by the exploding stars that spread arcs of stellar fire throughout its environs. It was created when the ancient Sith Lord Naga Sadow tried to elude the pursuit of the Old Republic, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Using the Sith stones set into his unique starship, Sadow harnessed the Dark Side of the Force and tore the two Denaari stars apart as the Old Republic's fleet moved in. The fleet was destroyed, and Sadow was able to escape. Aleema tried to use the same technique a thousand years later, during the Great Sith War, and created the Cron Drift.

Denbalen
this gas giant was the fourth planet in the Goroth System. It was orbitred by seven natural satellites. Because of the unusual position of the brown dwarf known as Goroth Beta, Denbalen was not the outermost body in the system.

He was known as a small-time criminal, but his loyalties were unswerving once he gave them. He helped Andra and the POWER party by smuggling and stealing the supplies and parts they needed to keep up their protests against the government. He later discovered how to slice into UniFy's computer database, and helped Qui-Gon bring down UniFy, Katharsis, and Xanatos. Despite their constant squabbling, Denetrus and Andra eventually fell in love. When Andra decided to join Uni aboard the BioCruiser, Den followered out of love and devotion. Den was part of a growing faction which resented Vox Chun's presence on the ship, and was unafraid to discuss the matter with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. (DOR, JAD)

Denev
this man served the Alliance as a soldier during the Galactic Civil War. A veteran of the Battle of Endor, Denev was part of the strike team led by Han Solo which knocked out the shield generator protecting the second Death Star. Denev eventually left military service, choosing serve aboard Caluula Station as a mechanic and officer. Denev was on duty when Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon arrived from Selvaris, after a mission to rescue prisoners of war was nearly disrupted by the appearance of the Yuuzhan Vong Slayers. (UF)

Denevar
this was a temperate world. (GG10)

Denfrandi
this peaceful, human tribe was native to the planet Taloraan. They lived in gondolas slung from the gasbags of 100 sleft-chuffi. Denfrandi legend claimed that humans originally came to Taloraan in "palaces of metal that flew faster than the winds." However, the demons of the ancient gods became jealous of humanity, and cursed them to fall out of the sky. The gods, pitying the poor humans, provided the sleft-chuffni to rescue them. (SWJ5)

Dengar
a human bounty hunter commissioned by Darth Vader to locate the Millennium Falcon. He failed to locate Han Solo, but he built a loose partnership with Boba Fett. He grew up as a swoop racer on his native planet of Corellia, and was a member of the Ferini team before he was defeated by Han Solo in a private race. Dengar was severely injured in the race when he lost sight of Solo and flew underneath him. When Dengar tried to pull up, he slammed into Solo's swoop, causing severe facial and cranial traumas. He recovered, thanks to the prodigious efforts of the local health corps and the technical resources of the Empire. He was fitted for several cybernetic implants, including new eyes and a series of neural pathways to augment his damaged systems, and given a new set of memories and "programming." The Empire cut out his hypothalmus gland and inserted a central computer module to control the new systems. The Empire expected him to be a faithful assassin, and despite the erasure of his mind and emotions, Dengar continued to develope a great hatred for Solo. He spent a number of years recovering from the injuries suffered in the swoop crash. However, he memories began to intrude on his consciousness, and Dengar left Imperial service after being told to kill the holy children on Asrat. He decided to try his own hand at bounty hunting, and spent a number of years in remote sectors of space known only as 'Payback' while memories of Han Solo began to resurface. The Empire put out a warrant for his arrest. It was during this time that he first met Manaroo, after killing Kritkeen on Aruza. The old rage he felt against Solo caused Dengar to take bounties which bore resemblances to Solo, and Kritkeen was one of them. Dengar later answered the summons of the Empire when the bounty went out on Solo's head, as Darth Vader gave him one chance to remain free if he captured Solo. Dengar failed to capture him, always one step behind Boba Fett. When Manaroo shared herself with him via her Attanni, Dengar suddenly got an insight on what it was like to be human again. He helped rescue her parents before landing in Mos Eisley. When Manaroo was captured by Jabba the Hutt's henchmen, Dengar plotted to kill the crimelord. He insinuated himself into Jabba's palace, outwardly helping to protect the Hutt from Alliance reprisal at the capture of Solo. When Fett approached him to celebrate Solo's capture and imminent death in the Pit of Carkoon, Dengar agreed and consumed some drugged Twi'leki liquor. He passed out, missing the trip to the Pit of Carkoon that should have ended with the deaths of Solo and Luke Skywalker. Instead, Jabba had him tied to the desert floor near the Teeth of Tatooine. Dengar managed to escape, driven by his fear that Manaroo was dead. She wasn't, and she later found him as she seached the desert in a speeder she had stolen. They traveled to Mos Eisley, and Dengar slowly recovered from his wounds. He also agreed to marry Manaroo. In an effort to find enough money to pay their mounting bills, Dengar went out to the desert to find the remains of Jabba's sailbarge. He tried to locate Jabba's ident chip in the wreckage, but instead found the nearly-dead Boba Fett crawling from the sand. In return for saving his life, Fett agreed to be Dengar's best man. After he married Manaroo and nursed Fett back to health, Dengar and Fett set out to hunt down Han Solo again. When they found him on Nar Shaddaa, they thought they had it made. Solo's escape further confounded Dengar and Fett, who were stranded on the spaceport moon. (ESB, DE1, MTS, DESB, EGC, TBH)

Dengar's End
this was the name given to a section of the Agrilat Swamp Circuit, one of the most popular swoop racing courses of the New Order. It was named for the noted swoopracer Dengar, who lost a race at that very spot to Han Solo. (SWGAL)

Denid
this man was the only surviving member of the royal family of Velmor, which was led by King Lorac. He fled his homeworld as a youth, hiding from Imperial persecution on a jungle planet where he crash-landed during his flight. His beloved, Loren, was killed in the crash, leaving Denid alone but for his former advisor, Jedidiah. Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa were dispatched to rescue Denid and return him to the Alliance, in the hopes that his story would serve as a rallying cry for the rebellion on Velmor. During their attempt to obtain the throne, Denid fell in love with Leia, especially after she agreed to portray Loren when they arrived back on Velmor. In the ensuing intrigue, Denid found himself the only surviving member of the royalty, after Anod was shot by Traal and Zelor was defeated by Luke. He assumed the throne which was rightfully his, and agreed to throw off the yoke of Imperial control and join the Alliance. Leia respectfully refused his marriage proposal, and Denid agreed that the Alliance needed her more than he did. (LTA2, MC49)

Denin
this young man was the Prince of the planet Naldar, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He died some two years before the Battle of Endor, when Imperial forces first tried to subjugate Naldar. His twin sister, Princess Vila, assumed his identity in order to help rally support for fighting back against the Imperials. Before his death, Denin wished to meet a true Jedi Master and train as Jedi Knight, a dream his sister tried to keep alive. It was rumored that Prince Denin became part of the Force when he died, and was reunited with Vila when she died trying to save Flint. (MC92)

Denira
this woman was married to King Lorac, of the planet Velmor, during the height of the New Order.

Denon
this planet was similar to Coruscant in the fact that the entire planet was devoted to urban cities and business sectors. Denon was second only to Coruscant in the galaxy in terms of the amount of commercial activity that took place on its surface each year. In the wake of the galaxy's invasion by the Yuuzhan Vong and the surrender of the alien invaders at Coruscant, the fledgling Galactic Alliance chose to make a temoprary base of operations on Denon, rather than continue on Mon Calamari, because of its proximity to the Core and the fact that it had escaped the notice - and destruction - of the Yuuzhan Vong. (VD2, UF)

Dentaal
this planet was the site of a raid by Crix Madine, when he was still a member of the Empire. The Imperial Governor, Taliff, had been deposed by the Dentaal Independence Party, which had declared the planet a free world. Madine was told to make the rebellious world cooperate, and to do so he planted the seeds of a Candorian plague there. Madine followed his orders, but he never felt good about doing it. During a series of military maneuvers on the planet, Madine simply disappeared from the Imperial armed forces. The Empire later blamed the plague, which killed nearly every living being on the planet, on the Alliance. The Alliance, however, discovered that the plague was similar to a plague that was unleashed on Sedesia. (DS, SWJ5)

Dentaal Independence Party
led by Hancc Rellow, the DIP was formed when the Empire took control of the planet Dentaal. Governor Taliff completely disbanded the ruling House of Dentaal, allowing the Empire to be in full control of the planet's politics. The surviving members of the house met in secret and formed the DIP, which eventually ousted Taliff in a bloody coup and reclaimed Dentaal for themselves. This action resulted in the Empire's own form of retaliation, in which Crix Madine and a team of commandos unleashed the Candorian plague on the planet. (SWJ5)

Denua Ku
this Yuuzhan Vong warrior served as one of Warmaster Tsavong Lah's personal guards, during the invasion of the galaxy. Shortly after the Battle of Coruscant, Denua Ku was ordered to watch over Viqi Shesh. It was easy to distinguish Denua Ku from other Yuuzhan Vong, by the simple fact that his skin was dominated by a long and puckering scar. This scar originated atop his skull, then ran down his face and neck, criss-crossing his chest, and then running down his right leg. This was one of the first scars he had caused in his flesh, as many tattooes and scars ran across it. When the Warmaster began suspecting that his failing radank claw implant was the result of the meddling of priests, Denua Ku was placed in charge of rooting out the possible suspects and bringing them before the Warmaster. When it was learned that a Force-wielding being was loose on Coruscant, Denua Ku was ordered to take Viqi Shesh to the planet's surface and locate the being. They were unknowingly searching for the being known as Lord Nyax, and several times their party got separated and Shesh escaped. Denua Ku managed to survive an attack by the Dark Jedi and hunted the former Kuat Senator down using a nisbat. He nearly died during an attack on the Jedi infiltration team lead by Luke Skywalker, falling from a destroyed catwalk and impaling himself on a length of rebar. Mortally wounded, Denua Ku refused to allow the Kuati to escape. He used every last ounce of strength to track her down in the Tersons' apartment. However, rather than die at the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong, Shesh threw herself out a window and fell to her death. Denua Ku, too exhausted to continue, died in the apartment. (EL1, EL2)

Denuab Venithon
this Ithorian and his twin brother, Dorin, were among the most vicious pirates of the New Order. This made them a great aberration to the normally placid Ithorian people. Formerly members of such notable groups as the Fivaran Organization, the Bandits of Ggy-ynt, and the Yarnak Gang, the Venithon Twins joined the Hy'thor Pirates shortly before the Battle of Yavin. The Twins left the Fivaran Organization after a failed raid on the Alliance Special Forces vessel Hauler VI, and fled to the Hy'thor gang, where they quickly established themselves as cruel leaders. They were even made special ambassadors to Safonne Pendon's gang. Whereas Dorin was belligerent and bullish, Denuab was somewhat reasonable and diplomatic. (AIR)

this rugged young man was in his mid-twenties when he was named part of the ExGal-4 team sent to Belkadan. He was part of the search group sent out to locate a huge storm which had been detected on their sensors. When Bendodi Ballow-Reese realized that the ecological damage to Belkadan - caused by Yomin Carr's dweebit beetles - was going to kill them before they could return, he turned over his oxygen packs and fled into the jungle. Luther thought he was crazy and tried to follow, by Bendodi shot Luther in the chest, then Bendodi shot himself. (VP)

De-Orbiting Kinetic Anti-emplacement Weapon
this crude form of projectile weapon was used on many backwater worlds during the height of the Clone Wars. Known as DOKAW, this projectile was simply a solid, 200-kilogram cylinder of durasteel, about the size of a missile. To these cylinders, rudimentary propulsion and guidance systems were attached to allow for more specific placement of the missile. Launched from orbital platforms, a DOKAW was used to bombard ground-based weapons emplacements or bunkers. While not as sophisticated or accurate as other guided missiles, a DOKAW was nevertheless cheaper and just as devastating to the enemy. This made them a favorite weapon of backwater tyrants and military forces who wanted to quickly eliminate the opposition's positions. (SHPT)

Dep
the meaning of this Zabrak surname was unclear, but translated into Basic as "swimmer". (GCG)

Depa Billaba
this slender Chalactan Jedi Master was a member of the Jedi Council, and was part of the group that deliberated over the possible training of young Anakin Skywalker. She was rescued from a band of space pirates when she was just six months old. Her rescuer turned out to be Mace Windu, who recognized her strength with the Force and brought her back to Coruscant. There, she grew up among the other Jedi trainees, becoming Windu's Padawan and eventually became a Jedi Knight. She chose to honor her parents by living by the native culture of Chalacta, and embraced many of its religious tenets. She wore the Mark of Illumination, given to her upon her achivement of the rank of Jedi Knight. Depa, who was one of the youngest beings ever elected to serve on the Jedi Council, was known in the Council for her insights. Shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, Master Billaba was dispatched to Haruun Kal, in an effort to earn the trust of the native Korunnai in supporting the Old Republic. She disappeared just a few months into her mission, until a recording was found hidden in the mouth of a murdered Balawai woman. The woman had been brutally injured before and after her death, giving rise to the belief that Master Billaba had turned to the Dark Side of the Force. Her old Master, Mace Windu, was sent to locate her, and discovered that she had allied herself with Kar Vastor. During her time on Haruun Kal, Master Billaba had lost a good deal of weight, and her appearance had become haggard. She had even removed the Greater Mark of Illumination from her forehead, and had covered the scar with a rag. Master Billaba had been the mastermind behind the Upland Liberation Front, hoping to keep a ragtag group of surviving Korunnai from being exterminated by the Balawai who were allied with the Separatists. An early victory in forcing the Separatists off Haruun Kal was later proven false, as the Separatists had simply backed off into the Gevarno Cluster to later ambush any Republic reinforcements. Master Billaba decided that her place was on Haruun Kal, helping the Korunnai defend their freedom and their right to live on their homeworld. She turned over her lightsaber to Master Windu, and set out to defeat the Balawai with Vastor's help. When Windu refused to let her free of her commitment to the Jedi, she struggled internally between that commitment and her intense desire to free the Korunnai. During Master Windu's suicidal plans to take Pelek Baw from the Balawai, Depa was caught by the blast of a proton grenade and thrown to the ground. She faked her death, trying to decide where her loyalties lay. When Windu tried to revive her, she grabbed her lightsaber and ignited it, spearing her teacher through the stomach. Windu survived, and managed to defeat the forces protecting Pelek Baw. His efforts brought the Summertime War to an end, but Master Billaba was emotionally and mentally lost by this time. She was returned to Coruscant and the Jedi Temple, but was held for trial until she could recover. Her crimes were listed as crimes against civilization, a category of crimes which had not been prosecuted since the Great Sith War. Until she was able to stand trial, however, Depa remained at the Jedi Temple, where she was cared for by many Jedi healers, including T'ra Saa. Depa Billaba was portrayed by Dipika O'Neil Joti in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (TPM, IG1, OWS, SHPT, RSF)

Deppo
raised on Eriadu, Deppo grew up racing swoops and tinkering with their components. His parents threw him out when he was 11, and so he was forced to take odd repair jobs. He was caught stealing a speederbike owned by the bodyguards of Governor Tarkin's niece, and was forced to work in the motor pool. His skill with mechanics earned him additional training, and he worked his way up to the position of an Imperial engineer working on the World Devastators. When the ship he was working on was attacked, he escaped in a lifepod and was rescued by the Alliance from the seas of Calamari. (DE1, DESB)

Emperor Palpatine sent Mara Jade to eliminate himon Svivren, where he had been trying to gather the support of other crimelords in the development of Black Nebula. In the Basic tongue, the word 'Dequc' means "whitehead." Dequc had many of his lieutenants impersonate him, hoping to drive off assassins. After using Captain Strok's troops as a diversion, Mara quickly infiltrated Dequc's offices in Wrils and beheaded one of his stand-ins. However, she found out that she had not executed Dequc, and was forced to rework her plans. It was during this time that Emperor Palpatine was killed over Endor, and Mara was imprisoned by Ysanne Isard. She infiltrated Dequc's palace on Qiaxx, and used a bust of Prince Xizor to care out her plans. Mara Jade hid an remote control device inside it, along with her ligthsaber, in hopes of entering Dequc's private chambers in order to execute the crimelord. She claimed that Xizor had hidden a treasure map inside it, and when Dequc opened it, she activated the remote control. The device ignited the lightsaber, piercing Dequc's head and killing him instantly. (MJEH)

this frozen ball of ice was the sixth planet in the Beheboth System. (PH)

Dereth
this man worked with his partner, Jaboth, as a professional gambler. They owed their success in high-stakes games of sabacc and Helcos to technology, as the pair had communications implants placed in their skulls. These devices allowed them to communicate without attracting attention, and they could discuss what the others players and the dealer were holding. (EGW)

Dereth
this felinoid alien worked with Jabot to con wealthy beings out of their fortunes in card games. Both Dereth and Jabot had Traxes BioElectronics implant communicators placed in their skulls, allowing them to transmit and receive each other's thoughts. Using the implant communicators, Dereth hid behind a screen and monitored Jabot's opponents, silently sending information on the cards the opponent held and their actions during the card game. (GFT)

Derf
a planet. (SWI67)

Deril
this medium-sized, yellow star was located in the Elrood Sector of the galaxy, and was the primary body in the Deril System. (PG3)

Derillium
a mineral mined at the Arah asteroid mines. (RA2)

Derilyn
this is the primary planet in the Derilyn System, located in the Elrood Sector. The planet was subjugated by the Empire in a mere three days, and an entire sector army was stationed there. The various races that inhabit the planet - Coynite, Gamorrean, Human, Meris, and Teltoris - were cautious not to upset the Empire, but longed for their freedom. The Derilyn day lasts 27 standard hours, and the year lasts 350 local days. It has a varied ecology. (PG3)

Derilyn Space Central
this agency provided traffic control and protection for the starships which traveled to Derilyn. When the Empire subjugated the planet and interdicted the space from Derilyn to Berea, Derilyn Space Central was overtaken and restaffed with Imperial officers. (OE)

Derilyn Space Defense Platform
this huge space station was placed in orbit around Derilyn by the Empire, when it took control of Elrood Sector and interdicted the space from Derilyn to Berea. Originally built by Rendili StarDrive, this platform had two saucer-chaped sections connected by a thick, central fuselage. It measured 4,225 meters in length (measured from top to bottom), and was manned by a crew of 8,750 officers and 320 gunners. It had the space and capacity to house 10,400 visitors, 4,500 troops, and 1,000 prisoners. The platform could accommodate 15 million metric tons of cargo, including its sealed drydocks, and could maintain itself for five years before being resupplied. The platform was armed with 80 turbolaser batteries and 40 double turbolaser cannons. (PG3, OE)

this airborne creature is raised by the Kian'thar on Shaum Hii. Derlacs graze on the plants and animals that live near the surface of the oceans, and are prized for their flesh. Derlacs can grow to be fifteen meters in length. They are noisy beasts, and the cacophony of the derlac "cattle markets" is well-known throughout the galaxy. (GG12)

Derlag's Cantina
this small cantina was located in Mos Espa, some 32 years before the Battle of Yavin. (E1A5)

Derlin, Bren
a native of Tiisheran and a major in the Alliance at the time of the Battle of Hoth, Derlin was in command of the security of Echo Base. Bren was the son of Galen Derlin, and became convinced that the Empire was evil after the murder of his father. He immediately joined the Alliance, in order to bring justice back to the galaxy. He took on whatever roles needed to be filled, often working for or with Carlist Roeekan. Because of his heroic actions in evacuating the Alliance's base on Nentan, Derlin was promoted to Captain by Rieekan himself. Derlin then served under Major Monnon on the Corps of Engineers before being promoted and assigned to Echo Base. It was Derlin who ordered the base secured, even though Luke Skywalker and Han Solo were still missing out in the snow-covered wastes. Derlin served as Han Solo's second-in-command during the assault on the second Death Star's shield generator on the Forest Moon of Endor. He remained with the armed forces after the Battle of Endor, and was eventually promoted to Colonel before serving on Coruscant when Thrawn attacked the planet. He earned the rank of Brigadier in the New Republic Defense Fleet before retiring. He later became the commander of the Alliance Veterans Victory Association, and maintained a position of trust and power within the New Republic. Major Derlin was portrayed by John Ratzenberger in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. (ESB, TLC, TT, ROJR, TTSB< SWI74)

Derlin, Galen
this man was one of the most famous senators of the Old Republic, and a close friend of Bail Organa. He withdrew from politics altogether when Emperor Palpatine rose to power, returning to his homeworld of Tiisheraan in order to get away from the corruption of the Empire. However, he ws hunted down and assassinated by Imperial forces as a reminder of the power of the Empire. (TTSB)

Dermal Autostripper
found in many spas and resorts, this device is used by a number of alien races which continually shed their skin. (HSL)

Dermaseal
this was a medicinal substance that could be sprayed or brushed onto the skin to safely cover a wound. In addition to keeping out water, dermaseal also protected the wound from infection. (MJH)

Dermatoglyphic Identification
this form of indentifying individuals was developed by Jaso Corporation, and is often regarded as the finest physical identification system in the galaxy. Although not as precise as retinal scanning, it uses a database which is much more readily available to other systems. Dermatoglyphic identification takes a skin sample from the subject's thumb or fingers, and a number of tests and analyses are performed on the sample. Cytoplasmic biopsies and chitinous accretion analysis are the most useful tests for those species which do not have dermatoglyphic patterns. This form of identification cannot distinguish between clones or other beings with identical genetic material, and scar tissue or artificial skin grafts produce no results at all. One species which was abused by dermatoglyphic identification was the Wookiee race, because their hands and feet were often scarred during attempts to escape capture by Imperial slavers. Thus, the Imperials took skin samples from the sensitive skin on the Wookiees' nose. (TA)

Dermeg
an Imperial governor overseeing activities on Ansillivog. He is a middle-aged male with thinning, though striking, blond hair. (RPG)

Dern

Derricon
this planet was loyal to the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ13)

Derricote, Evir
a native of Kalla, Evir was an Imperial officer who found himself on the short end of many opportunities. He was one of the original members of the 181st Imperial Fighter Wing, and was in command of the ships when Soontir Fel was relegated to the 181st. As a Colonel, Derricote was simply a figurehead after Fel's arrival, for Fel's military genius quickly overshadowed Derricote's. This served Derricote just fine, as he would have rather spent more time with his mycosia flowers than in a cockpit. However, after decisive victories at Ord Biniir and Derra IV, Derricote was prompoted to General and Fel was promoted to Colonel and took his place. It was Derricote who discovered the forgotten Alderaan Biotics facility on Borelais. He maneuvered his way into an assignment in the Pyria System, following the ambush of an Alliance supply convoy at Derra IV, and was eventually stationed on Borleias. He was a large, overweight man. He used a series of false requisitions and orders to funnel funding and security from the remnants of the Empire to fund his secret operation at the nearly-forgotten Alderaan Biotics hydroponics plant. He then supplied many black-market reellers with a continual flow of Alderaanian delicacies, and made almost three millions credits before being discovered by Kirtan Loor. Derricote also used similar tactics and bookkeeping maneuvers to strengthen the defenses around Borleias. He later was assigned by Ysanne Isard to develop the Krytos virus, using the aliens found in the Invisible Sector of Coruscant. It was later learned that he was using Diric Wessiri as an enslaved assistant, allowing Derricote to remain out of the actual contamination area. Once the Krytos virus was unleashed into the water system of Imperial City, Isard had Derricote imprisoned in the Lusankya facility. She feared that he might expose her if he was captured. He was killed in a scuffle with Corran Horn, who was also imprisoned at Lusankya. Horn was trying to escape, and was followed by Derricote. The prisoner Jan had seen Derricote slip away, and arrived as Derricote attacked Horn. Jan managed to deflect Derricote's initial attack, giving Horn time to smash Derricote's skull with a shovel. It was later discovered that Derricote had a hidden storehouse of viruses aimed at various species throughout the galaxy, including the human race. (XWN, WG, KT, TEP, MBF)

Derrida
this Ketton spy operated on Kwenn Space Station during the early years of the New Order. Known to members of the Alliance as a sly and cunning adversary, Derrida found herself in a kind of duel with Alliance operative Kassar Kosciusko after foiling five separate Alliance operations on Kwenn. She also framed Lieutenant Commander Zhir-Khan, falsifying Kwenn records to make it appear as if Zhir-Khan had betrayed the Alliance. Derrida was a known associate of the Kubaz spy Garindan, having spent some time on Tatooine before relocating to Kwenn. (AIR)

Derriphan
these nightmarish creatures were born of the Dark Side of the Force, and were named for the Sith word meaning "devourer." These creatures consumed the very thoughts and experiences of living beings, leaving behind the bodies without the living essense they once contained. In order to feed, however, a Derriphan had to enter the body of its victim, take control of the victim's mind, the drain off the essense of the victim. These creatures were believed to have been extinct, having died out after the Great Sith War. However, a few Derriphan managed to survive the battle, and existed during the Galactic Civil War. Those who claimed to have actually seen a Derriphan said that the creatures resembled miniature black stars, roiling with energy. (WSV)

Desaclates
this Exocron Airfleet cruiser captured a rogue Imperial probe droid near the planet, but was attacked by a group of pirates hoping to retrieve the droid. The crew of the FarStar assisted the Airfleet, under the command of Horzao Darr, and managed to drive off the pirate corsairs. Unfortunately, the Desaclates was severely damaged and crashed into the ocean of Exocron and was lost. The pirates managed to obtain the probe droid, but the ship on which it was being carried was caught under the Desaclates and was also destroyed. (KO)

Desann
this Chistori was one of the few members of his species to travel throughout the galaxy during the early years of the New Republic. Being sensitive to the Force, Desann trained for a brief period at Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 before succumbing to the Dark Side of the Force. He left the new Jedi order and set out on his own, hoping to forsake Master Skywalker's "weaklings" and create an army of stronger Dark Jedi. This army became known as the Reborn, and were first encountered by Kyle Katarn on Cloud City, shortly after the Battle of Endor. In order to solidify his position, Desann allied himself with Imperial Admiral Galak Fyyar, and was instrumental in helping Fyyar perfect his unusual technology for twisting beings to the Dark Side of the Force. Desann was nearly captured on the Cairn asteroid, when Katarn and Skywalker confronted him. Desann, however, fought Skywalker to a stalemate and managed to escape. He then led the attack on the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, despite the loss of the Admiral Fyyar and the Doomgiver. Deep in the temples, Desann was forced to confront Katarn. The Jedi Knight used a combination of speed and tactics to defeat and kill Desann in battle. (WOTC, JK2)

Desanne
this man was a native of Kalist VI, and served the Empire as a Commander in the armed forces. Because of a political blunder which occured shortly before the Battle of Hoth, Desanne was stripped of his official duties and relegated to acted as a liaison for travelling Imperial dignitaries. (CCG5)

DeSelvaine, Trem
this Karflo Corporation scientist performed a series of experiments on a Polydroxol, hoping to discover if the creature was intelligent. He worked for Administrator Renerdat, although he thought the Administrator a fool for trying to wipe out the Polydroxol just to obtain profits from mining Sevetta. DeSelvaine's work was possibly the first real examination of the Polydroxol, and his work with a Polydroxol individual produced a great deal of information on their biochemistry, morphing abilities, and intelligence. Unfortunately, the Polydroxol individual - which he had nicknamed Polly - learned of Administrator Renerdat's plans to kill it and all members of its race on Sevetta. Polly escaped, and killed all personnel aboard the Karflo research station. Despite his empathy for Polly, the Polydroxol associated DeSelvaine with the others and killed him as well. (SWJ12)

a song written and played by the band Red Shift Limit. It was first released as part of the compilation Limited Warfare, and has been banned by the Imperial Board of Culture. (GG9)

Desert Survey Office
ostensibly a branch of the local government of Mos Eisley, this was actually more of an explorers' club than the geographical agency and survey bureau it was meant to be. Located on the city's northern edge, the Desert Survey Office was established to map the desert terrain of the planet Tatooine, as well as to locate the various hidden "treasures" that could be found beneath the shifting sands. The office was usually filled with old-timers who had been on Tatooine their entire lives, and who enjoyed placing false "hidden treasure" locations on the maps in order to fool tourists. True scouts and explorers almost never entered the office, knowing full well that nothing of any real value was to be found in the desert. (GMR7)

Desert Wind
this band of guerrilla fighters evolved on the planet Ord Cestus, after Cestus Cybernetics took control of the planet. Founded about twenty years before the onset of the Clone Wars, Desert Wind protested the nearly 300 years of oppression of native Cestians, striving to force the Five Families to renegotiate its business and spread more of its wealth to the workers who filled its factories. The first revolts that spawned the Desert Wind fighters became known as the Uprisings. Just after the Battle of Geonosis, it was believed that Desert Wind was crushed in a series of paramilitary actions funded by the Five Families, but small groups remained hidden in the mountains. These groups united under the leadership of Thak Val Zsing, who continued to order raids on corporate caravans. It was Desert Wind that attracted the attention of Jedi Master Kit Fisto, when he and Obi-Wan Kenobi were dispatched to Ord Cestus to discover the truth behind the development of altered, JK-series security droids. (TCD)

Desert Wraid
this was one of the different subspecies of wraid that lived in the deserts of Tatooine, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. The skull of the desert wraid was incredibly dense and strong, and was used by Tusken Raiders as a piece of armor. The bone itself was believed to have medicinal value, although no complete analysis was ever done. (KOTOR)

Desertwind
this was the pseudonym given by Ylenic It'kla to the third Jedi who accompanied the Caamasi and Nejaa Halcyon to deal with Nikkos Tryis and the Jensaarai. The name was derived from the man's scent, which has powerful connotations for Caamasi. (IJ)

Desh lost a large sum of credits in a sakresh game to the Devaronian merchant Ulicx Vinaq. In retaliation, Desh had Vinaq's ship loaded with Imperial arms, then issued a warrant for the Devaronian's arrest, claiming that the merchant stole the weapons from Desh's armory. (GG10)

Desh, Reck
this former smuggler was known for his flambouyant appearance, which including body piercings and tattooes. He also favored electrum jewelry. A former acquaintance of Han Solo and Roa, Desh tried his luck as a mercenary for hire during the early years of the New Republic. He even went so far as to sell his services to the Yuuzhan Vong, shortly after the Battle of Ithor. He joined a group of renegades known as the Peace Brigades, and set out to foment unrest and distrust of the Jedi Knights. Han Solo and Roa tried to track him down, shortly after the destruction of Obroa-skai. After Roa was captured on the Jubilee Wheel by the Yuuzhan Vong, Han ran into Reck during the Peace Brigade's ambush of the Queen of Empire. The Brigade had hoped to recover the priestess Elan and return her to the Yuuzhan Vong, despite the Vong's own plans to have Elan infiltrate the Jedi Knights. Elan was recovered by Han Solo, but Reck and his mercenaries managed to expose her and take her to their ship. Han pursued, and found that Elan had exhaled a breath full of bo'tous, which had killed the entire crew of the Peace Brigade's ship. Reck was among the dead. (HT)

Deshet

(AIR)

Desilijic
this was one of the most powerful Hutt kajidics. It was controlled by Jabba the Hutt for many years, until his death just before the Battle of Endor. Jabba moved the clan's base of operations to Tatooine, and did most of his business from his Mos Eisley townhouse, which was known as the Desilijic Complex. (EGC, THG, IWST)

Desilijic Complex
this was the name given to Jabba the Hutt's Mos Eisley townhouse, created on the planet Tatooine. The entrance to the townhouse was located on Paradise Road, and was little more than a low dome. Most of the complex was located below the surface of the city, in an extensive network of caves and grottoes. (IWST)

Deskalur
this was the name of a distinguished Vor individual. (UANT)

DeSKo
this corporation unknowingly employed the slicer known as Baylan to develop its communications infrastructure software, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Later, Baylan was able to use backdoors he had previously installed to re-enter the system and tear it down. It was during this time that Baylan realized the average worker was too indoctrinated to the corporate way of life that they were too scared to set out on their own course of action. Baylan had been using his slicing abilities to distribute corporate credits into the accounts of average beings, and realized that they were too scared to do anything with the credits. However, this realization didn't stop Baylan from continuing to alter corporate bank accounts. (LFCW)

Desler Gizh Outworld Mobility Corporation
this small manufacturer produced speeders and enclosed vehicles for explorers and scouts, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (X2)

Des'mar
this was one of the two primary factions of the Saurton race. The word "Des'mar" literally meant "forward-thinking".

this band of space pirates operated in the area between Minos Cluster and Kathol Sector during the early years of the New Republic. Led by Miktiss, they worked the Trition Trade Route by obtaining information on convoy schedules in a deal with Crev Bombaasa. The Des'maric Pirates used the freighter Asagov Raider as their base, and attacked their targets in a trio of brightly painted Skipray BlastBoats. (DARK)

Desnand, Feebee
this plump woman was Io Desnand's wife. Feebee wore false eyelashes that were so large they resembled black-veined butterfly wings. She favored full-length, animal-skin jackets. When Io had the Trandoshan bounty hunter Bossk in captivity on Aida, she asked him to skin the beast to obtain a lizard-skin gown. (TBH)

Desnand, Io
this Imperial Governor was in control of the Aida and Lomabu Systems during the Galactic Civil War. He maintained a penal colony on Lomabu III, where he held several hundred Wookiees. He had planned to use the Wookiees as bait in a trap to capture a major portion of the Alliance fleet. However, Tinian I'att and Chenlambec had lured Bossk to Lomabu III at the same time, hoping to trap him by claiming the Trandoshan was there to poach Wookiee pelts. Desnand's plans were foiled when Tinian and Chen trapped Bossk before he could launch his own plans. Desnand almost skinned the Trandoshan alive before Bossk managed to escape. (TBH, HM)

Desolate
the biologically-engineered starship used by Ber'asco and the Charon death cult to remove the "disease" of life from the realm of Otherspace. Like a massive organic castle in space, the Desolate is an amorphous mass of strange, weblike constructs measuring over 450 meters at its longest point. It acts like a magnet to any ships traveling in Otherspace, drawing them to it and collecting them in a weird belt which surrounds the ship. Those ships which contained information on new species of life were physically attached to the Desolate so that Ber'asco could obtain information necesssary to destroy them. The weapons systems of the ship are hidden in rocky pods which open to allow the firing of projectile weapons. The Desolate is a strangely dead ship, in keeping with the Charon beliefs surrounding the Void. Consequently, the Desolate seemed to be a black hole which consumed the Force. There were four main decks surrounding the central core, with a series of hollow tubes connecting adjacent levels. A docking bay of sorts is separated from the vacuum of space by a penetratable membrane which seals itself as ships pass through it. The main bridge was the site of a large, brain-like computer node. Ber'asco used this node to communicate with other lifeforms. The lowest part of the ship seemed to be a manufacturing facility for the Charon red mist. After the Charon were first defeated by Alliance agents while in Otherspace, Ber'asco had his bioscientists create a hyperdrive for the Desolate, so that it could jump into realspace and attack the galaxy beyond. However, when Grand Moff Ravik's mind took control of Ber'asco's body, and Ber'asco's mind took control of Bane Nothos' body, the battle between the two caused a small amount of damage to the ship's control systems. Rather than emerging over the planet Stronghold, the Desolate smashed into the world, sustaining huge amounts of damage as it skidded over the rocky surface. The ship was abandoned on Stronghold, after Alliance soldiers overcame the Charon and defeated Ravik. (OS, OS2)

Desolation
this Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser was part of Warlord Zsinj's third fleet. (SOC)

Desolator
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was assigned to Admiral Grendeef and the Miser base during the height of the New Order. It was staged from the planet Kirtarkin. It was destroyed when Alliance agents, trying to recover the Isis cordinates from the crew of the Wanderer, reprogrammed the Star Destroyer's navigational comupter. The Desolator made a sudden jump to hyperspace, and re-emerged at the center of the rogue star G-138. All hands were lost, including Admiral Grendeef. (IC, WOA33)

Desparate Pilot
this was one of the many cantinas that were located on Naos III, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (LEV)

Despayre
a planet in the Horuz system, it was used as a penal colony by the Empire. The planet was covered in thick jungles that were fed by wide rivers and shallow seas. An abundance of lifeforms inhabited the jungles, and many were predacious. Captives in the penal colony were held in check with the threat of leaving them outside the colony's walls to fend for themselves. It here that the Empire found a willing, if unruly, source of labor for the construction of the first Death Star. The huge battle station was erected in orbit, without regards to the prisoners or the planet. The prisoners didn't realize it at the time, but the huge amount of scrap and debris that was created and left in orbit effectively sealed the planet off from outside contact, since no sane pilot would fly his ship through the chaf. When the prisoners became too unruly to effectively work on the Death Star, Tarkin went to Kashyyyk and captured some Wookiees to use as slaves. Once the battle station was complete, Tarkin ordered the new superlaser tested immediately. The Empire's first successful use of the weapon came when Tarkin fired on Despayre itself, killing all of the native life, the slave labor, and destroying the planet. Note that the Rebellion Era Sourcebook claims this planet was called Horuz. (MTS, DS, DSTC, RESB)

Despecto
a Selonian word meaning "honorable." (AS)

Despot
a Sovereign-class Star Destroyer under construction prior to the Emperor Palpatine's rebirth on Byss. (DE1)

Desric

Desrini District
this was one of the northernmost sections of Galactic City, located on the planet Coruscant, during the last years of the Old Republic. Shortly before the Clone Wars, one of the garbage-launching machines that propelled refuse into orbit misfired, sending industrial waste and shrapnel into the civilian area of the district, killing 48 and injuring more than 200 other beings. It was later discovered that a group of families were illegally tapping into the power supply for the launcher. The homemade power taps disabled the launcher's obstruction sensors, allowing it to fire even though the path was blocked. The Desrini District was closed off for many weeks, as the clean-up of industrial waste left the area unlivable. In the wake of this disaster, the Desrini District was set upon by a swarm of dianogas. More than twenty-five homeless beings were reportedly eaten by the scavengers before the problem was brought to the attention of the authorities. (HNN5)

Dessin
this Alliance Colonel was Lanish Ran's commanding officer. (SWJ4)

Desstious
a planet. (WBC)

Destato Island
this island was located on Procopia, some 400 kilometers from Estalle Island. (LOE)

Destination: Adventure!
this passenger liner plied the spacelanes of the Periphery along the Sisar Run during the Galactic Civil War. It provided a number of tourist and vacation packages, as well as starships repair and resupply facilities. The ship's actually owners were part of the Black Sun criminal organization. (SSR)

Destiny
this Imperial warship, part of the fleet commanded by Carnor Jax, was dispatched to Zaddja to locate and eliminate Kir Kanos. (CE)

Destiny
this unusual starship was owned by the Kalai who inhabited the Zirtran's Anchor space station. The Destiny was attached to the station, and served as the living quarters of the Kalai. Its presence was a vast mystery to the rest of the station's inhabitants, as the Kalai rarely left its confines and almost never invited another being inside. Hidden within the Destiny's holds were advanced starfighters that were faster and more maneuverable than the X-Wing or TIE Fighter, but their true purpose was never discovered. (SWJ5)

Destion
a Mugaari transport destroyed when the Empire subjugated the Tungra Sector. (TIE)

Deston
one of the planet Pantolomin's larger islands. (DFRSB)

Destrillion
this planet was a twin to the world of Dubrillion. Both were located near the asteroid system known as Lando's Folly. Brown and dirty from space, Destrillion was an inhospitable world. Lando Calrissian, during his tenure as owner of Lando's Folly, set up great processing plants on Destrillion, where ores from the asteroid field could be turned into usable materials. Like its twin, Destrillion was eventually captured by the Yuuzhan Vong. (VP, FH3)

Destroyer
this was the name used by Governor Kugg, of the planet Dodz, to describe his huge assassin droid. The Destroyer had been modified to serve as Kugg's right-hand man, and was used primarily to force the citizens of Dodz to by the heavy taxes demanded by Governor Kugg. The Destroyer was built to intimidate and destroy, but it proved no match for R2-D2 and the Ranger X-1 defense droid owned by Jost Ellon. In a titanic battle, R2-D2 was able to draw power away from the Destroyer and channel it into the X-1. This caused a chain reaction within the Destroyer's circuits, resulting in an explosion that destroyed the Destroyer. (MDCAR)

Destroyer Droid
these large, mobile weapons platforms were created by the Trade Federation to augment their legions of battle droids. Destroyer droids were built on a platform that could curl in upon itself in what was known as "Wheel Form," and roll into battle. Once deployed, the destroyer would unfold itself, steadying its massive form on three stout legs in what was known as the "Combat Stance." Its arms were studded with laser cannons and projectile launchers, and its head was filled with sensitive sensors and detectors used to local its targets. Models developed shourtly before the Battle of Naboo included small shield generators, and a series in development had independent, programmable computer brains that freed them from the necessity of a Droid Control Ship. The destroyer droids were also known as droidekas, and were produced by the Colicoids of Colla IV. The form of the destroyer droid mirrors the forms of the Colicoids themselves, including the ability to roll up into a ball and surprise their targets. The main drawback to the droidekas was their incredible shielding. Although precisely calibrated to form a sphere when the droideka was standing upright, it had the tendency to interpret a floor or wall from a weapon if the droideka were to tip over. Such an upended droideka experienced a catastrophic shield overload if it were knocked off its feet, as the shield systems continued to ramp up power to combat the perceived threat of the wall or floor. Eventually, the droideka exploded. (SW1, VD1, IG1, SON, E3N)

Destroyer of Worlds
see Infant of Shaa. (JF, ZW)

Destroyer-I
this was one of Kuat Drive Yards' ion engine designs. They saw duty as the primary sublight drive systems on Imperial-class Star Destroyers. (EGV)

Destroyers, The
this band sometimes played at Bantha Traxx, on the planet Lianna. (WSV)

Destructive Electromagnetic Pulse Gun
see DEMP Gun (AEG)

Detainer
this Interdictor-class cruiser was under the command of Lieutenant Lon Donell during the early years of the New Republic. He used it to drag Republic ships from hyperspace, then captured the ships for his own fleet. Donell was forced to man the ship with less than a full crew, because his own troops were small in number. The Detainer was also short on support ships, carrying only a single TIE Fighter squadron, a pair of Skipray blastboats, and two Gamma-class assault shuttles. (WBC)

Detainment droid
this form of repulsor-equipped droid was essentially a floating prison guard, equipped with four arms. (DE1)

Detan, Narn
this New Republic Captain was placed in charge of re-establishing the government of a small colony in the Geal System. During the action, his troops enocuntered the bounty hunter Moxin Tark. Tark had been following Detan ever since the remnants of the Empire had placed a bounty in his head. Tark executed Detan in front of the New Republic troops, and managed to escape and claim the bounty. (WBC)

Detection Plus
this was the brand name of Krystallio's RMD-20 long-range surveillance remote. Known as the "Eye in the Sky," this device was a repulsor-equipped sphere designed to track criminal suspects for law enforcement agencies. (EGW)

Detector
this was the term used to describe any being who was employed to hunt down and locate fugitives or other criminals, often being hired by private concerns. (GMR10)

Detention Task Force
this study group was formed within the Corporate Sector Authority to analyze the costs and methods of imprisonment in various Authority and Imperial prison facilities. They determined that the New Order would likely lead to rebellion, and that a new breed of prison would be required to maintain larger numbers of criminals. They proposed the Stars' End project, and were involved in the initial design. The conclusion of the task force was that criminals could be stored in stasis booths, maintained in suspended animation until their sentences were up. This cut down on most operational costs - like food, clothing, and accommodations - while ensuring the safety of the prisoners. (CSA)

Dethro Glok
this being controlled much of the scrap trade which sprang up on the planet Ord Ibanna, after the gas mines there were abandoned. He was known as a ruthless leader, although he was strictest about maintaining the repulsorlifts which kept the cities of the planet afloat long enough to be salvaged. (RAC)

Dethro's Revenge
named for Dethro Glok, this was one of the many podraces which meandered through the cloud-cities of the planet Ord Ibanna during the last decades of the Old Republic. (RAC)

Detien Kaileel
this Kabieroun served as the Kuari Princess' chief of security during the later years of the New Order. He fled his homeworld of Kabieroun several years before the Empire began subjugating the world, and studied police science at Balaidas Academy before the Empire closed it to non-humans. Detien then spent twenty or so years as a detective for the Mid-Rim Sentinel Agency before hiring on with Galaxy Tours as a security officer. A good friend of Celia Durasha and Dap Nechel, neither knew that Kaileel was also a supporter of the Alliance. On several runs with the Kuari Princess, Kaileel had been delivering guns and supplies to the underground on Mantooine, which had attracted the attention of Adion Lang and the ISB. When he was arrested aboard the Kuari Princess, Celia tried to rescue him from prison. She didn't believe that the rebellion was correct until Kaileel revealed that the Empire had destroyed Alderaan. When he was captured by Lang, his resistance led to his demise as Lang shot him before he could board his shuttle and escape. (TFE, SWJ8)

Detonite
this was the most common explosive used in the creation of grenades and detonators. It was produced in moldable, fist-sized cubes. (SWSB, DESB)

Detonite Tape
this was a specialized form of explosive which found a wide market during the Galactic Civil War. D-tape (as it is referred to in the business) is a basic adhesive tape which has been impregnated with detonie gel. While not as destructive as a shaped charge, detonite tape was more flexible and adaptive to the shapes of doors, windows, and hatches. (ROE)

Detritus Satellites
this collection of scavenger droids was somehow released into orbit around Dantooine, during the last years of the Old Republic. The Detritus Satellites eventually began working together to protect their salvaging operations, constructing station D-7s1 during the early years of the New Order to serve as a storage and repair facility. (SWGAL)

Deuterium-pyro
this strong, alcoholic beverage was often consumed in single shots. (SWI65)

Dev
this was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Dev, Yanix
to the casual acquiantence, Yanix Dev was an upstanding businessman who could have run any number of Inner Rim corporations. In reality, Dev was an egotistical distribution manager for the Karazak Slavers Guild. He liked to refer to himself as a "body broker." (GG11)

Deva
a form of music created and perfected on Adarlon. (GG6)

Devadd
this Ithorian surname was believed to mean "peace officer", according to historian who studied the Ithorian race. (GCG)

Devan
this woman was one of the Jedi Masters who taught at the Almas Academy during the years surrounding the Clone Wars. During her tenure at the Academy, she served as the Mistress of Battle, taking over the lightsaber training that had once been taught by Master Kirlocca. (LFCW)

Devaron
this temperate world, located in the Colonies region of the galaxy, was home to the Devaronians and their cousins, the Devish. The terrain of Devaron was made up a low mountain ranges with deep valleys, shallow lakes, and thousands of rivers. Note that the Ultimate Alien Anthology indicates that Devaron was located in the Expansion Region. (GG4, SCRE, UANT)

Devaronese
this was the native language of the Devaronian people. (ANT)

Devaronian
these aliens are one of the most unique races in the galaxy, as their male and female sexes are so vastly different in appearance and temperament. The males are docile, non-aggresive creatures with smooth, hairless skin and short horns on their heads. They takes great pride in their horns, and groom them quite regularly. The females, on the other hand, are covered in calico fur and do not have horns. They are aggressive by nature, and tend to dominate their culture. It is believed that they are descended from a race of primates that lived in the mountains of Devaron, their homeworld, and that their horns were a genetic mutation that proved useful in fending off predatory brids. Devaronians are carnivores and in general, have an efficient metabolism, consuming nearly every bit of food they eat. The unusual blood of the Devaronians was silver-based, giving it a blackish color not unlike tarnish when exposed to oxygen. This means that they don't go to the toilet as often as other races. Devaronians were one of the first races to discover the secrets to space travel and develop stardrives. (SW, SCRE, GG4, TBH, T)

Devaronian Blood-poison
this strange gemstone is a strange silver color. When the stone is rubbed into an open wound, or used as a weapon to pierce flesh, it inflicts a painful poisoning into the bloodstream, which lingers for weeks unless treated immediately. (TPS)

Devastation, The
this was the term used by the survivors of the Outbound Flight Project to describe the destruction of the mission and the loss of the Outbound Flight. They were considered the original members of the Outbound Flight Colomy. (SQ)

Devastator
this was a renowned vibroknife, produced by Merr-Sonn during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The Devastator was an exceptional weapon for close-combat trench fighting among ground-based military personnel. (SHPT)

Devastator
an Imperial-I class Star Destroyer famous for its capture of the Rebel ship Tantive IV, the Devastator was Darth Vader's personal flagship until the Battle of Yavin. Prior to Vader's command, the Devastator was the flagship of Lord Tion, who commanded it during the destruction of an Alliance based on Ralltiir before his defection. It was later assigned to the fleet commanded by Darth Vader aboard the Executor. (SWR, SWSB)

Devastator Torpedo
this weapon was developed during the last years of the Galactic Civil War by the Empire. Rolf Treidum and his fleet of ships patrolling the Kathol Outback used one of these weapons on the planet Danoor, after Waric Nane failed to keep the FarStar and her crew on the planet. The torpedo was launched at the planet, and created a blast radius of about 5 kilometers. Everything within the blast was obliterated. The only drawback to the use of the devastator torpedo is that its launching system takes several minutes to recharge between shots. (KO)

Devato
this searing ball of rock is the first planet in the Lianna System. (ML)

DeVay, Varel
this young woman was the xenobiologist serving aboard the FarStar during its attempts to intercept Moff Sarne in Kathol Sector following the Battle of Endor. She grew up on a Core world, the pampered daughter of wealthy parents, and could have attended any university she chose. Despite her parents' wishes, she decided to follow her own path and study xenobiology. After graduation, she took a job working for a small company on Kal'Shebbol, but found herself actually working for Moff Sarne as a bioweapons developer. When the New Republic liberated Kal'Shebbol and forced Sarne into hiding, Varel opted to serve aboard the FarStar rather than return home. (KO)

Deveren
this female S'kytri served as the Speaker of the Supreme Council, and acted as the voice of the governmental on her homeworld of Skye, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. She presided over the trial of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, who were stranded on the planet when Han Solo set out to defeat Kharys. Like Aragh, Deveren believed in the prophesies that claimed a being would arrive on Skye to free the S'kytri from Imperial control. (LTA1, MCA1, GMR1)

Devers
this Imperial soldier was killed on Eiattu when Nrin recovered from his wounds. (XWWP)

Devik
this was the name of a noted Spiner individual. (UANT)

Devil
a pirate escort shuttle group destroyed by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Devil's Doorknob, The
this was the name given to the opening through which The Corkscrew emptied onto the Hutt Flats, part of the Mos Espa Circuit racecourse found on the planet Tatooine. Podracers had to flip their vehicles on their sides in order to pass through the Doorknob. The Devil's Doorknob later served as a section of the noted Mos Espa Circuit, a swoop racing event held annually during the height of the New Order. (IWE1, SWGAL)

Devin, Virtrol
this man served as Drek Drednar's security chief, and was often the first member of the pirate team to board a captured starship. (SWJ5)

Devir
this Krytollak empress ruled her people during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. She had access to Imperial observers who helped her govern the planet Thandruss, in response to the Krytollak support of the New Order. (GG12)

Devis, Mynar
this man served the Imperial Remnant as a Captain during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, commanding the Interdictor cruiser Wrack. Captain Devis was part of the Imperial portion of Operation Trinity, monitoring one of the escape routes to be used by the forces of the Galactic Alliance. He admitted to being a fan of Han Solo's exploits since the age of five, when the smuggler's ship Millennium Falcon was dragged out of hyperspace by the Imperial forces. When the Yuuzhan Vong crippled the HoloNet with the use of the mabugat kan, Devis agreed to take a flight of TIE Defenders and race back to Grand Admiral Pellaeon to warn them of the communications failure. After delivering his message, Devis returned to Bilbringi to lend assistance to the forces of the Galactic Alliance. However, without the other two fleets, General Wedge Antilles' forces took a pounding at the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong. Devis and his wingmen worked with Solo and the Millennium Falcon to help clear escape routes, but they too were beset by Yuuzhan Vong forces. In order to ensure that the Millennium Falcon survived to fight another day, Devis remained to guard Solo's rear , then plunged his TIE Defender into the hull of a Yuuzhan Vong interdictor craft. The resulting explosion took Devis' life, but enabled the forces of the Galactic Alliance to eliminate the interdictor. In the wake of Operation Trinity, many within the New Republic's military came to believe that Devis was actually the son of Gilad Pellaeon, after Han Solo delivered word of Devis' actions to the Grand Admiral. (FP)

Devish
another race of Devaronians, the Devish resemble their cousins outwardly, but there are several social and physical differences. The male Devish are born with sharp teeth used for hunting. The females are born with the sharp and blunt molars, and can survive on food that would kill most males. About one male in every fifty is born with both sets of teeth, making him a kind of solitary but useful hunter. Those Devish, male or female, with two sets of teeth, have the molars on the outer set and the sharp teeth on the inner set. The molars can be retracted, leaving the sharp teeth clear for ripping meat. Because the Devish used vicious quarra to execute criminals, the planet Devaron was never allowed membership into the New Republic. (TME, EGA)

Devisors
this social strata was the higher of the two which developed over the millennia on Exocron. Descended from the original engineers aboard the Exocros Cabal, the Devisors were responsible for maintaining a safe and "good" level of technology for the rest of the planet's inhabitants. The Devisors believed that technology and space travel were inherently evil, and made sure that nothing new would come to harm the other colonists. This division of the population made the Devisors the unstated rulers of Exocron. However, there were several pirate groups and corsairs who believed that the Devisors were holding the people of Exocron from joining the rest of the galaxy. One group, led by Eida Sharden, managed to finally break the Devisors' hold on the population. After assisting Horzao Darr and Kaiya Adrimetrum in freeing the FarStar, Pagda Gevtes was captured and the Devisors were reduced in stature. (KO)

Devist, Carib
this tallgrain farmer from the Dorchess Valley of the planet Pakrik Minor was actually one of the sleeper agents dispersed throughout the galaxy by Grand Admiral Thrawn, and was a member of cell Jenth-44. Carib was "activated" by Grodin Tierce, shortly after the revelation of the Caamas Document. Like his brother, Sabmin, Carib was also a clone of Soontir Fel, bred for his piloting skills in case Thrawn needed additional pilots in his war against the New Republic. However, Fel's love of the outdoors and his family somehow made it into his makeup, and the Devists decided that they didn't want to fight when the orders came through. They opted to negotiate with Leia Organa-Solo for their freedom. Carib agreed to help the New Republic by taking a doctored recording of an alien starship to the nearest Ubiqtorate base, in hopes that it would be rerouted to Bastion. Han Solo and Lando Calrissian could then travel to Bastion and retrieve a copy of the Caamas Document. In the meantime, Devist agreed to served as the diplomatic representative to the New Republic from Pakrik Minor. He threw in his full support of President Gavrisom, and was used as a rallying point. He was also able to identify several Imperial ships among those gathered around Bothawui, and was instrumental in the discovery of the Tyrannic. (SOP, VOF)

Devist, Daberin
Carib Devist's son. (VOF)

Devist, Keena
Carib Devist's daughter. (VOF)

Devist, Lacy
Carib Devist's wife. (SOP)

Devist, Sabmin
this tallgrain farmer was the brother of Carib Devist, and was also a sleeper agent in cell Jenth-44, planted by Grand Admiral Thrawn. Sabmin was the first agent on Pakrik Minor to receive Imperial notification that the agents had been activated, and organized the agents for action. Like his brother, Carib, Sabmin was also a clone of Soontir Fel, bred for his piloting skills in case Thrawn needed additional pilots in his war against the New Republic. However, Fel's love of the outdoors and his family somehow made it into his makeup, and the Devists decided that they didn't want to fight when the orders came through. They opted to negotiate with Leia Organa-Solo for their freedom. (SOP, VOF)

Devit
this nation, encompassing the three continents of the western hemisphere of the planet Lazerian IV, was the only nation on the planet. (TSK)

Devit
this city, found on the continent of Laz on the planet Lazerian IV, is the capital of the nation of Devit. (TSK)

DeVitt, Chase
a native of Corellia, this man ended up on Socorro with only a few credits to his name. He was brought to the planet by Drake Paulsen, but his good looks and roguish style earned him a quick position in the criminal underground. His skills with sabacc cards got him hired by Tiranga the Hutt, who employed Chase as a "luck-buster." Whenever a customer of Tiranga's Loft got too lucky and started winning, Chase was sent in to call their bluff. His success rate at stopping these runs created a healthy rivalry between Chase and some of the galaxy's best sabacc players, and his ability to beat them has helped fill Tiranga's coffers. (BSS)

Devlia
this small, heavy-set Imperial Admiral survived the Battle of Endor and controlled a the Rachuk Sector for a few years afterward. He was Uwlla Iellor's commanding officer. He is a very opinionated person, and his opinion is usually wrong, although he works hard to make people see that it is the only opinion. He was killed in the New Republic raid on Vladet. (XWN)

Devlikk
this is a species of heart-shaped, green-skinned aliens was native to the planet Ord Radama. The average lifespan of a Deevlikk was around ten standard years. Devlikks were highly attuned to the magnetic poles of their homeworld, and never became lost in the cities found there. Off-planet, however, Devlikks quickly became confused about their surroundings. (IG1, IWE1, NEGC)

Devon Four
this planet was embargoed by the Old Republic several years before the onset of the Clone Wars, when the government refused to pay its taxes. The embargo came just before a plague struck the planet, and the Republic refused to allow shipments of the antidote to reach the planet's surface. Several smugglers managed to break through the blockade, and the planet's population eventually survived the threat. (TCD)

Devonian
one of the New Republic assault shuttles participating in the assault on Borleias. It later assisted the retaking of Coruscant by transporting troops to the planet's surface. (XWN, WG)

Devotion
a recommissioned Black Sword warship used by the Yevetha to purge the planet Polneye. It was a Victory-class Star Destroyer. (BTS)

Devotion of Yevetha
Tal Fraan served aboard this Yevetha warship, leading a group of human slaves. (SOL)

Devourer Organism
this was a specially-developed organism that was used by the Old Republic to scrub the atmosphere of the planet Coruscant, in an effort to maintain a breathable quality of air. These organisms were bred to be highly effective and efficient at converting carbon dioxide into oxygen, thereby taking the place of the plantlife which no longer covered the planet's surface. (EL2)

Devourer Tank
this device was produced during the New Republic for the automated disposal and recycling of organic material, especially on worlds like Coruscant where garbage disposal was extremely important. Organic material was collected and placed into the tank, which was essentially a vat of viscous "goo" that broke down the organic material. Every so often, the goo was pumped out of the tank, and the inorganic sludge at the bottom was scraped out, in order to maintain the tank's effectiveness. The goo which was placed in the tank was barely aware of its surroundings, and the individual molecules could work together to grasp at organic material and drag it into the tank. The devourer tank's goo was a modified version of the devourer organism developed to scrub Coruscant's air. (EL2)

Devron
this was one of the most common male names among the Corellian population. (GMR9)

Devros Crystal
this was an exquisite crystal, used during the last decades of the Old Republic to made some of the more elegant - and expensive - goblets and glassware. (LFCW)

Devvol, Fez
this man was the manager of Aqualis Base during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He developed relationships with the Krikthasi in order to make his work on the planet easier. (PG1)

Dew
this Shyriiwook word was used as the prefix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "fierce" or "stout", and could be combined with one or more suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)

Dew Cake
this delicious bread was produced on the planet Wroona. (PSPG)

Dewanga
this Dug slaver was one of the many members of his species who worked for the crimelord Sebolto during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. A bounty for his capture was issued by Gorga the Hutt in connection with the theft of several of Gorga's Twi'leki dancers. Jango Fett later claimed this bounty during his attempt to locate Sebolto on Malastare. (BH)

Dewback
a species of large, omnivorous, dinosaur-like lizards found in the deserts of Tatooine and Breeka, dewbacks were named for the sweat they exude during periods of rest. The dew-like sweat collected along the scales of their backs, and members of a dewback herd licked the sweat off each other for water. This sharing of the "dew" on their backs helped the dewbacks develop social relationships. The sweat was often collected by certain races for medicinal purposes. The average dewback was a solitary animal for most of the year. They congregate in the Jundland Wastes each year to participate in a huge, orgiastic mating ritual which followed the mating season of the krayt dragon. The eggs are then left behind, safe because the dragons have moved on. They young must fend for themselves once hatched. Faster and more agile than a Bantha, Dewbacks can be trained for use as mounts. Dewbacks were easy to domesticate, especially if raised from the egg. However, any domesticated Dewback must be set free each year for the mating season, or else they went into a wild rage. They are also used as a food source by humans and Tusken Raiders. Dewbacks are active during the heat of the day, but become sluggish during the cold desert nights. While lumbering in appearance, the average dewback could attain a running speed of fifty kilometers an hour for short bursts. (SW, JS, SWSB, GG7, XWWP, GF, EGA, WSW)

Dewback Inn
Hath Monchar planned to sell his information, detailing the Trade Federation's plans to blockade the Naboo System at the order of Darth Sidious, to Lorn Pavan at this Coruscant inn, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. The Dewback Inn was located in the Zi-Kree sector of the cityworld, in the area known as the Crimson Corridor. (DMSH, MBS)

Dewback Kord
this man was the chief mechanic for the starship Hawkbat. (WS)

Dewback Storage Warehouse
located in Coronet City on Corellia, Corran Horn and Riij Winward hid Captain Niriz' cargo here during their travels with Grand Admiral Thrawn, who was disguised as Jodo Kast. (TFE)

Dewback's Burden
this Gallofree Yards medium transport was part of a merchant fleet hired by the New Republic to carry supplies to planets which were rebuilding in the wake of the Battle of Endor. The Dewback's Burden served as the lead ship in the convoy which was dispatched to bring supplies to Bhuna Sound, but was attacked by the TIE Interceptor pirates hoping to free Air Marshall Von Asch. (T5)

Dewflap
this was the term used to describe the flaps of skin that surrounded the mouth of a Sullustan individual. (MJH)

Dewlannamapia
this 600-year-old female Wookiee joined Garris Shrike on the Trader's Luck as a chef, following the exiling of her husband, Isshaddik. Known to her friends as Dewlanna, she befriended Han Solo, and kept watch over him. It was this love that Han never forgot, and eventually led to his association with Chewbacca. Dewlanna was the one who discovered that Han's last name was Solo, during one of Shrike's fits of drunken bragging. When Solo attempted to escape from the Luck and start his own life, Dewlanna gave him a bagful of credits. When Shrike caught Solo, Dewlanna stepped into make sure Han got away. She killed Larrad Shrike before taking a blaster bolt from Garris. The injury proved fatal, and Han promised that her death would not go in vain. Note that The Unifying Force indicates that Dewlannamapia survived the blast, and was present many decades later at the dedication of a portrait of Chewbacca at the Thiss landing pad. (TPS, UF)

Dewplates
a thick-growing jungle plant native to Dathomir. (CPL)

Dex
this man was part of the team dispatched to Corellia to capture or kill the Jedi Master Eelysa and any other Jedi they found. Dex worked for Roxi Barl during the mission. They ran into Han and Leia Organa Solo at the medical facility that was treating Eelysa, and were forced to flee or be shot by the Solos. Unfortunately for Dex, he was shot and killed in the firefight. (REC)

Dex's Diner
this small restaurant, located in Coruscant's CoCo District during the last years of the Old Republic, was owned by Dexter Jettster. Dex's Diner was once known as Didi's Café, and was sold to Dex by Didi and Astri Oddo. Known for its slogan, the Diner claimed to have "the best eats in the CoCo Town streets!" (HNN4, JQ2)

Dexsrti Skin Pox
despite its name, this parasite attacked its host from the inside, lodging in the digestive system until fully grown. Then, they migrated into the bloodstream and lodged themselves in the subcutaneous tissues of muscles. Once there, they resembles rosy lumps on the skin, giving them their name. The infection of Dexsrti Skin Pox was treatable with medication. (TBSB)

Dexter Jettster
amale Besalisk with a heavy-set body and four thick arms, Dex was a mechanic who worked for various oil-harvesting operations during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Note that Star Wars Gamer #10 indicates that Dexter was a member of the Ojum race. He developed a love for cooking during this time, although many of his fellow crewbeings wondered how much of "special recipes" were imbued with lubricants and oils found on the worksite. After spending many years as a smuggler and gunrunner, Dex retired to Coruscant, where he purchased Didi's Café from Didi Oddo when the previous owner retired. Dexter was introduced to Obi-Wan Kenobi at this time, and served as an invaluable source of information for the Jedi Knight. Note that the Star Wars Databank indicates that Dexter first met Obi-Wan on the mining world of Ord Sigatt. Obi-Wan discovered that Dex could be an incredibly loyal friend, who would kill if necessary, as well as give his life for those beings he cared about. Dexter was portrayed by Ronald Falk in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. (OWS, JQ2, AOTCN, VD2, SWDB, GMR10)

Deyer
homeworld of Kyp Durron's parents. It was a terraformed world, with raft cities anchored in manmade lakes, located in the Anoat System. It was once a successful fish-farming colony, aquaformed to make the most of the fish. Located near the Ison Corridor and the Corellian Trade Spine, it was within easy access of many Old Republic supply lines. The colonists ruled themselves under the auspices of the Old Republic, but the rise of the New Order saw widespread misuse of the farming facilities. The Empire polluted the waters and killed off the fish, eventually forcing the settlers to abandon the planet altogether. Since the fall of the Empire, Deyer has become just another backwater world. Its days lasts 28 standard hours, and its year lasts 389 local days. Note that the Galactic Gazetteer: Hoth and the Greater Javin indicates that Deyer's day lasted 20 hours, and its year lasted 300 local days. (JS, JASB, WOA33)

Deyer Colony

Deylerax
this planet was the homeworld of the Enu race. Shortly before the Clone Wars, the planet was infested with stone mites, but the damage proved to be minimal before the mites were eradicated. (WBC, HNN5)

Deysum III
this planet, located in the Trax Sector, served as the Imperial sector capital shortly after the Battle of Yavin. A huge naval installation was erected on the planet. At the time of the Battle of Yavin, Deysum III had been abused by corporations and urban sprawl, and much of the planet was covered with swamps of deadly chemicals and toxic waste. The inhabitants of the planet were forced to erect huge domes to cover their cities and keep out the toxic gases the built up over the centuries of misuse. (GMK, SWJ7)

Dezirdna
this was a common name among the Snivvian race. (UANT)

Dezix
this Imperial Security Bureau agent was assigned to the first Death Star, leading the group of agents monitoring the station. He had the ability to be inconspicuous when it suited him, but he was also ruthless and cunning to a fault. (DSTC)

Dezon
an Imperial Lieutenant, Dezon worked a pit officer on the Interdictor-class ship Constrainer. He had been conscripted into the Empire against his will, but grew to at least honor the Empire he worked to restore. (HTSB)

Dezsetes
this man was a Captain in the Imperial armed forces during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. He was outwardly loyal to Emperor Palpatine, but was actually allied with Grand Moff Trachta. By remaining a member of the Imperial Navy's command structure, Dezsetes was able to provide Trachta with detailed reports on the movement of the Imperial fleet. He arragned to be assigned to the Star Destroyer Mathayus, when the ship was provided for Darth Vader's mission to hunt down a supposed Jedi Knight on Dargulli. After Vader eliminated the pretender, who claimed to be a disciple of the Sith, he returned to the Mathayus and confronted Dezsetes. When Dezsetes revealed the plot to assassinate Emperor Palpatine, Vader cut Dezsetes in half with his lightsaber. (SWEB)

Dezzen
this was a common name among the Snivvian race. (UANT)

Df
this unit of measure is used by weapons manufacturers, and describes the range (in kilometers) over which a single tube charge loses eight percent of its energy. It was initially developed by the Sumrias race, and says that the weapon loses half its charge at 8 Df. (ISB)

DF.1
designation of the Golan Arms spray blaster. (ISB)

DF.9
Golan Arms' anti-infantry battery, the DF.9 was a turret-mounted medium laser weapon. The turret could be mobilized for deployment, but the weapon's mechanics required it to be constantly maintained. It had a proton-shielded control cylinder, and the weapon sat on top of it. What made the DF.9 a potent weapon was the way in which its energy bolts exploded upon impact, causing damage in an eight-meter blast radius. The DF.9 was originally developed during the early years of the New Order. (ISB, CFG, NEGW)

DF.9/B
a follow-on to the Golan Arms DF.9, the DF.9/B is essentially a DF.9 battery mounted on a four-meter tower. This weapon is a fixed-installation weapon only, and rapidly gained popularity during the Galactic Civil War. (ISB)

DF101-008
this New Republic datafile was appended to datafile DF76-882, and contained information on the D-type starfighter used by the Yevethans. (CTD)

DF76-882
this datafile was created by the New Republic Intelligence agency to monitor the various forms of starships used by the Yevethan species. (CTD)

DF76-901
this New Republic Intelligence datafile was appended to file DF76-882, and contained information on the Aramadia-class Yevethan thrustship. (CTD)

DFA 998
this anti-infantry laser battery was manufactured by Golan Arms during the Galactic Civil War. (HAS)

D'farian
this alien race, a member of the New Republic, sided with the Diamalans in the Caamas Incident. (VOF)

DFB-2000
this personal defense field generator, manufactured by Palladia Electronics, was worn like a belt. Contained in the belt was a small proximity sensor and energy emitter, designed to protect a being's personal space. Whenever an unwanted intrusion occurred, the sensor picked up incoming pressure and rected by releasing a stun charge at the offender. The stun charge varied in strength, depending on the force with which the intruder approached the user. (GFT)

DF-D1
this flechette rifle was produced by Salus Corporation, during the height of the New Order. It was unique in that it fired flechettes from two barrels instead of one. It was considered powerful at close range, but lacked accuracy over a distance. The design of the DF-D1 was essentially stolen from the Golan Arms FC-1 flechette launcher, in the hopes of Salus gaining a contract with the Empire. However, the DF-D1 was plagued by numerous flaws and accidents, and Salus was eventually nationalized by Imperial Munitions. The DF-D1 was dropped as a project. (GFT, GUN, AEG)

D-Five
this was the designation of one of the Dreadnaughts that was part of the Outbound Flight starship. D-Five was one of the five Dreadnaughts which was buried when the ship crashed into a large planetoid in the Redoubt, after it was attacked by a group of Chiss led by Thrawn. (SQ)

D-Four
this was the designation of one of the Dreadnaughts that was part of the Outbound Flight starship. D-Four was the only Dreadnaughts which remained aboveground when the ship crashed into a large planetoid in the Redoubt, after it was attacked by a group of Chiss led by Thrawn. Thus, it was the only access point through which any visstor could reach the rest of the ship. However, because it was the only Dreadnaught aboveground, the Outbound Flight Colony expended a large portion of its efforts on getting D-Four ready for flight once again. When the remains of Outbound Flight were located by a Chiss-led expedtion some fifty years after its attack, D-Four was capable of flight but not ready for the Colony to continue its mission. This made it an attractive target for Estosh and Bearsh, who commanded their Vagaari pirates to steal the ship for their own use. After planting line creepers in the rest of the Outbound Flight Dreadnaughts, they blasted D-Four away from the main ship by destroying the turbolift pylons that connected them. The Vagaari hoped that this would kill anyone left on Outbound Flight, but Captain Talshib of the Chiss managed to seal them off. Estosh and his surviving Vagaari nearly reached the Brask Oto Command Station, the first stop in their attack on the Chiss, but Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade Skywalker managed to defeat them and bring the Dreadnaught under control. (SQ)

DFS-1015
this Trade Federation droid starfighter was given tactical programming which allowed it to learn about its enemy, especially the N-1 starfighter, giving it the ability to maximize its offensive strategies. (CCG15)

DFS-1104
this was one of the Vulture droid starfighters which was assigned to the Trade Federation's command ship, during the initial stages of the blockade of the planet Naboo. (YJC4)

DFS-1138
this was one of the Vulture droid starfighters which was assigned to the Trade Federation's command ship, during the initial stages of the blockade of the planet Naboo. (YJC4)

DFS-1308
this was the designation of the Trade Federation Vulture droid starfighter which was assigned to analyze the N-1 starfighter, in preparation for the invasion of the Naboo System. It was on the maindeck of the Trade Federation command ship when the Radiant VII arrived with Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. DFS-1308, despite its programming, was unable to figure out the human element (I.e., the pilot) of the N-1. (CCG15)

DFS-1VR
this Trade Federation droid starfighter was part of the forces deployed to support the Separatists during the Battle of Geonosis. (TCG2)

DFS-327
this was one of the Vulture droid starfighters which was assigned to the Trade Federation's command ship, during the initial stages of the blockade of the planet Naboo. DFS-327 was given programming for defending the Federation's battleships during combat. It also had routines which allowed it to target key systems on enemy capital ships. (YJC4, CCG15)

DFS-4CT
this was one of the Trade Federation's droid starfighters, active during the months just prior to the onset of the Clone Wars. (TCG1)

D'gant
this man was an executive of a Vendusii Crystal mine during the Galactic Civil War. (HR)

DH107
Herzfall Corporation's head-mounted communications device, it resolved the jamming problems encountered when using SoroSuub's DH77 headcomm. They were used in stormtrooper helmets. The DH107 had a special decoding sequence built into its firmware, which was activated when the helmet was placed on the trooper's head. It randomly changed frequencies according to a platoon shifting sequence, which made tracking the transmission nearly impossible. The sequence could only be halted by throwing a small tongue switch as the trooper removed the helmet. Otherwise, the decoding sequence would be erased, rendering the communications system useless. Airen Cracken once found that, if a person linked a sabacc skifter to the DH107 module, the skifter could relay information about what frequency was most likely to be used next. (ISB, CFG)

DH-17
one of BlasTech's Imperial weapons, the DH-17 resembled an E-11 blaster, except that its nozzle was cone-shaped. Although the DH-17 was semi-automatic, it could be modified for automatic fire. This modification was not recommended, however, because the weapon built up excessive amounts of heat during heavy use. (CCG, EGW)

DH17 Pistol
see DH-17 (GQRG)

DH17 Snubnose
this blaster carbine was developed by BlasTech, and was based on the original DH-17 pistol. (GQRG)

DH-18
this BlasTech blaster pistol was the follow-on to the DH-17 model, produced during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The primary difference was the power output of the DH-18, which was greater than that of the DH-17, but with a shorter range. (AEG)

DH-23 Outback
this modification of BlasTech's DH-17 blaster pistol was made with durability in mind. While it wasn't as powerful or accurate as the DH-17, the DH-23 had better construction and heat dissipation capabilities. (AEG)

DH77
SoroSuub's version of a lightweight communications device which can be attached to headgear (helmet, headset, etc.). Designed for use in stormtrooper helmets, they were replaced by Herzfall's DH107 because the DH77 was easily jammed by high energy particle emissions. (ISB, CFG)

Dha Werda Verda
this ancient text was first discovered - inadvertently - by Mungo Baobab, who recovered the famed Roonstones. They were later deciphered in the Baobab Archives. Encoded into the crystal structure of the stones was the first version of the text ever found. Research into the origins of Dha Werda Verda indicate that it was written some 5,000 years before the Taungs marauded the ancient peoples of the planet Coruscant, known as the battalions of Zhell. The epic story recounts the bloody battles between the Taungs and the Zhell, and focuses on the final battle, which turned when a volcano erupted and rained deadly ashes onto the main Zhell city, wiping them out. However, the cloud of ash which formed as a result of the blast filled the skies for two years after the Taung's took control. This cloud cast a shadow over their lives, and the Taung adopted the name "Dha Werda Verda," which literally translates to "The Warriors of the Shadow." Throughout their history, the Taungs have referred to themselves as the Dark Warriors, another translation of Dha Werda Verda. (SES)

Dha'eh
this creature, which was native to the long-lost planet of Yuuzhan'tar, was one of the few creatures which could kill a maw luur. Because the maw luur was useful to the Yuuzhan Vong, the dha'eh were kept to a minimum population. (FP)

Dhalbreth Square
located in Imperial City on Coruscant, this park contains a pond full of glowfish. (SHA)

Dhar
this scout was active during the early years of the New Republic, and worked from a base on Elshandruu Pica. (GUN)

D'harhan
this being was a member of a near-human species which implanted various mechanical systems into their bodies, often replacing major limbs and organs with cybernetic weapons. They coordinated their actions via an internal communications package. D'harhan was also a bounty hunter, and was well-suited to the task. His body was covered by heavy, black armor which protected the power and support systems for the huge laser cannon which served as its head. The weapon had an enormous bore, and was studded with sophisticated optical systems that allowed D'harhan to "see" its surroundings as well as target its prey. The subsystems of the laser were draped down his back, along his spine. The immense weight of all these systems would have overbalanced a normal creature, but D'harhan also had a segmented, armored "tail" which extended from his lower back and hips. Heavy, black gloves protected D'harhan's hands, and thick-soled booted supported his feet. In order to communicate, D'harhan used an archaic keyboard attached to its central processors, and typed out its words. The words were interpreted and "spoken" by a vocabulator module. Boba Fett, the closest thing D'harhan had to a friend, had been present as his creation, and partnered with the near-human on a couple of occasions. D'harhan was known to shoot first and not bother to ask questions later. The last occasion was the hunt for Oph Nar Dinnid, in which D'harhan was forced to give up his weapons systems in order to land on the planet Circumtore. This nearly killed D'harhan, for his weapons systems were his primary essence. Fett maintained his life support with minimal power until his skills were needed. Then, a hidden weapons cache unloaded from within the Shell Hutt fortress, and D'harhan's main laser cannon was reactivated. D'harhan managed to eliminate a huge number of the mercenaries hired by Gheeta to protect the Shell Hutts, but their combined firepower eventually felled D'harhan. Boba Fett then used the near-human's laser cannon - which was still operational - to destroy Gheeta. It was believed that D'harhan was the last of his kind. (MA)

Dharus
this Outer Rim privateer operated along the Territory's Leisure Corridor. Dharus was an orange-brown-skinned humanoid of unknown origin. His eyes glowed a deep scarlet. He was a fun-loving thrill-seeker, but was also wanted by the Empire. Zardra once tried to claim the bounty on Dharus' head, and nearly caught him on board the Culroon Minstrel. Dharus escaped, but was eventually brought to trial by the Empire. He was let go on circumstantial evidence, and has secretly worked for the Alliance ever since. (GG9)

Dharus' Buccaneers
this was the name used to describe the pirate force which worked for Dharus. (PP)

Dhashaan Shield
this mercenary outfit was hired by the Nhoras race to assist in defending their world from attack by the Clatear. (SOP)

Dheendo
this Rodian was at one time an average bounty hunter working for the crimelord Tyu. He never had the cunning and bloodthirstiness that most members of his species have, and so he left Tyu's employment and joined the Alliance. Dheendo made his way into Shroud Team, serving under Dutra Zeneta as their chief foster agent. He idolized Dutra Zeneta, and worked to be as wise as he thought Zeneta was. (SWJ10)

Dhil, Shanto
this bacta pirate worked from a base on the planet Lammax during the early years of the New Order. At the height of the Galactic Civil War, Dhil was semi-retired from the pirate business and was serving as the mayor of Port Bianco. He was infamous for inviting new acquaintences to dinner, in order to determine where their loyalties laid. Spies and other agents rarely, if ever, survived the meal. Shortly before the Battle of Endor, Dhil stumbled upon a group that was trafficking corusca gems through Tapani Sector, but never discovered that it was actually House Calispa running stones from Coorimbus IV. (LOE)

Dhillith
this was a fairly timid creature that was once native to the Yuuzhan Vong homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar. (FP)

Dhislug
this creature is native to the planet Algara II, and reaches lengths of three meters or more. These python-like mollusks exude a burning, acidic slime which helps them kill their prey. Their eyes are useless. Instead, they use two antennae to locate prey, which they draw into a toothless mouth after the acidic slime has started to break it down. (PG2)

Dhol
this octopus-like ruler of Cheelit was an avid Firepath player. She existed in a floating glass globe. When Darth Vader tried to escape from the Guild of Vindicators, he attempted to lure them to him by playing Firepath with Dhol. She agreed, and Vader played the role of inferior to a tea. She played a masterful game, but Vader's game was better. The assassin Clat the Shamer was lured onto the gameboard, where he was quickly defeated by Vader's pieces and destroyed. To further punctuate his victory, Vader incinerated Dhol in a blast of fire from the gameboard. (CSWDW)

Dhoora
a Corellian Transport ship captured by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Dhorian
this planet is the fifth world in the Lazerian System, and was the site of a mining colony that supplied the system with many natural ores. Two moons orbit the planet. (TSK)

Dh'rang
this was a common name among the Togorian race. (UANT)

DHS-2
this was Lakan Industries' top-of-the-line dejarik game system, produced during the height of the New Order. (GFT)

Dhum
this Dathomiran rancor was the offspring on the female known as Tosh to the Singing Mountain clan. Dhum was killed by the AT-ST walkers of Warlord Zsinj. Tosh responded by tearing the cockpits off the scout walkers. (CTD)

Dhur Qirit
this was a form of organic glue, developed and used by the Yuuzhan Vong to help an ooglith masquer remain adhered to an individual's face for a long period of time. (FP)

Dhuru Fly
this species of insect was native to Dagelin Minor, and were considered a nuisance. The planetary authories decided to wipe out the insects by importing a swarm of Bogan's Brown Nafen, hoping that the flying insects would consume the flies. Unfortunately, the nafen were carrying a strain of the Hardan Plague, which eventually killed 98% of the planet's population. (COG)

Dhuryam
this was the name of an immature World Brain, specially-bred by the Yuuzhan Vong to control the ecosystem of a planet. Grown from genetic material taken from the original World Brain of Yuuzhan'tar, dhuryams were related in many respects to the yammosks. However, the dhuryam was capable of widescale telepathic manipulation of its environment, where the yammosk used gravitic signatures to direct the actions of starships. Dhuryams were capable of coordinating the operation of huge numbers of Yuuzhan Vong bio-organic machines which were required to Vongform a world. A group of dhuryams were often grown together, and placed into direct competition with each other. As they developed the skills necessary to sustain an incredibly diverse ecosystem, the dhuryams matured. When they were ready, a ceremony known as the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat took place, in which only the strongest and most capable dhuryam survived. This one individual was then installed as the World Brain of a new planet. As the time of the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat approached, Yuuzhan Vong warriors were ordered to monitor their activities, for the increasingly intelligent dhuryams often used slaves to kill their rival dhuryams. This would unfairly taint the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat, resulting in a poor choice of World Brain. (T)

Di
this was one of the most common female names given to human children across the galaxy. (GCG)

Di arysi du arys pas-essen lure mass
this Snivvian phrase, used in the world of art and antiquities, translated into Basic as "There is no great love than a master's for his masterpiece." (HNN5)

Di Blinths
this active volcano was located on the planet Ord Cestus, and was the traditional home of a clan of X'Ting warriors. Note that this might simply be the name of an X'Ting clan that lives in a volcano. (HIV)

Di nova
this Huttese phrase meant "I said", as in Di nova, 'chut chut' meaning "I said, excuse me." (AAOTC)

Di Yuni, Winna
this Jedi Knight was one of the best healers of her generation, and served at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. Winna was asked to investigate the illness of Didi Oddo, and was able to discover that he had been poisoned by a chemical produced by Arbor Industries. (EVE)

Dia
this female Twi'lek lived in the Lower City of Taris during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. She discovered that an old acquaintence, Holdan, had placed a bounty on her head. However, one of the Jedi Knights who arrived on Taris after the Endar Spire was destroyed managed to convince Holdan to drop the bounty, thereby freeing Dia. (KOTOR)

Dia
this was a common name given to Twi'lek females, and meant "ice" in the Twi'leki language. (GCG)

Dia Passik
this Twi'lek female was born Diap'assik. After being sold into slavery, Dia learned to fly starships from her owner, who naively believed she was an air-headed female. When her owner was visited by a being with an armed shuttle, she escaped by stealing the shuttle and blowing her owner's ship, the Violet Hem, out of the sky. She fled to the New Republic, turned over the shuttle, and applied for starfighter training. She even asked to join Wraith Squadron, after hearing of their assault on the Implacable, and joined the squadron shortly before they were assigned to take out Warlord Zsinj. Dia brought a wealth of knowledge about flying starships, but also great deal of information on the activities of smugglers and pirates. She proved herself to be an excellent fighter pilot, both in simulations and in actual combat. She was given the position of Wraith Four, acting as Wes Janson's wingman, following the deaths of Falynn Sandskimmer and Eurrsk Thri'ag. When the Wraiths were assigned to the Mon Remonda in support of the hunt for Warlord Zsinj, she rejected the offer of friendship from Nawara Ven, since she hated everything to do with the planet Ryloth, including those members of the Twi'lek species who managed to avoid slavery. She was also instrumental in the deception of the Hawk-bat Independent Space Force, portraying Captain Seku. In this guise, however, she was forced to execute Castin Donn, who had stowed away on their mission to meet with Warlord Zsinj and was discovered. She complied, realizing that Castin was already near to death, but the action left her with intense psychological scars. She eventually recovered from the shock of killing Castin, and participated in several Hawk-bat raids, including assisting Warlord Zsinj in his attempt to steal the Razor's Kiss from Kuat. Over time, she fell in love with Garik Loran, although they were forced to keep their relationship a secret until decorum allowed. (IF, SOC)

Diablo Cut
this was one of the most treacherous sections of Beggar's Canyon, located on Tatooine. No one had ever flown through it until Luke Skywalker did, years before the Battle of Yavin, during a frantic run to bring Biggs Darklighter to a medical facility after he had been attacked by Tusken Raiders. Diablo Cut served as a section of the noted Mos Espa Circuit, a swoop racing event held annually during the height of the New Order. (EGC, MC17, SWGAL)

Diagnoster
this test tool was a common component of a starship's medical emergency kit, and was designed to help determine the chemical composition of a sample. The diagnoster could also be used to scan a being's body for foreign bodies, such as a slug or shrapnel. (MJH)

Dialogen
this biological compound was found in the bloodstream of many humanoid or cephalopood races, including the Anomids and Wol Cabbashites. (HNN5)

Diamal
this white-maned race of sentients was involved in a minor shipping security dispute with the Ishori, shortly before the Caamas Incident. The Diamals didn't trust the Ishori patrol ships which escorted Diamalan transports into Ishori ports. Han Solo and Luke Skywalker tried to resolve the conflict, but were unable to do so. Instead, the dispute grew into a large-scale political battle with the revelations of the Bothan involvement in the destruction of Caamas. The Diamlan Senators firmly believed in the "forgive and forget" solution to the problem, while the Ishori wanted justice to take more physical form. They are a very honorable race, and respected the heroes of the Galactic Civil War. They are also very stoic, often described as unemotional. (SOP)

Diamala
this is the common name used to describe the collective Diamal race. (SOP)

Diamond Cruiser
this warship was developed by the Commerce Guild during the build-up to the Clone Wars. (LEV)

Diamond Level
the highest of the three entertainment and commercial levels aboard the Errant Venture, the Diamond Level catered to Booster Terrik's more discerning customers. Booster Terrik found a young couple who fancied themselves to be smugglers on the Diamond Level, who agreed to help smuggle Corran Horn back to Corellia during his search for Mirax Terrik. (IJ)

Diamond-boron Armor
this armor plating was developed by the Empire late in the Galactic Civil War. It was used to cover missiles, allowing them to be virtually indestructible until they are detonated. (SE)

Diamonds
a song written and played by the band Starburst. It was first released as part of the compilation Only in Your Dreams, and has been rated scarlet by the Imperial Board of Culture. (GG9)

D'ian Orchid
a lush, tropical vine which produces beautiful flowers. (HSR)

Dianoga
this unusual mollusk was found throughout the galaxy, living wherever there was sewage for it to subside on. It had seven tentacles and a single eyestalk, and a beaked mouth dominated its underside. The origins of the dianoga have been traced to the planet Vodran, a swampy world where the dianoga has had to develop a tranparent camouflage in order to escape from the planet's large predators. Also called a garbage squid, this species has migrated off the planet, following the scent of garbage to starships and stowing away. They grow to be an average of 5-6 meters in length, although specimens of 10 meters are not unheard of. Their bodies, when unfed, become transparent. They change to reflect the colors of their food once they have eaten. (SW, MTS, WSW)

Dianoga
this was the personal attack craft owned and operated by Gir Kybo Ren-Cha. (SWDB)

Dianoga Pie
a disgusting meat pie made from dianoga flesh. (DE2)

Dianoga Swamp Trap
this was the name of a specialized obstacle used in swoopchasing. It was basically a form of the Rancor Pit, but the second wall was suspended over a quagmire which was populated with dianoga. This was considered an outlaw obstacle, and wasn't sanctioned by the governing bodies of swoopchasing. (BSS)

Dianoga-class Fighter
this four-winged starfighter, with the wings set in a wide X-shaped pattern, was popular among pirates and mercenaries during the last decades of the Old Republic. The fuselage of the Dianoga fighter was a stubby cylinder. (STF)

Dianogan Tea
this steeped beverage, usually served hot, was considered something of a delicacy by the Muun race, despite the fact that it stained the lips and mouth of those individuals who drank it. They were easily identifiable by their purple lips, purple teeth, and black gums, although the staining effect was temporary. Drinkers of dianogan tea - named for the fact that it was brewed from a chemical found in the spleen of a dianoga - found the stains a small price to pay for the flavor, aroma, and mildly narcotic affect of the tea. (JT)

Diap'assik
this was Dia Passik's birth-name, which she forsake when she was sold into slavery for credits. (IF)

Diath, Dace
a dark-skinned, human Jedi Knight who served in the Battle of Koros Minor, and was present at the Jedi Assembly at Deneba. A native of Tatooine, Dace followed his father, Sidrona Diath, along the path to becoming a Jedi Knight. He learned the ways of the Force under the tutelage of Master Vodo Siosk-Baas, and fought bravely on Onderon against the Naddist uprising there. He nearly died on Ossus, though, during a training flight with Cay Qel-Droma. They were testing the Star Saber attack ship when Dace concentrated on the ship's targetting computer but ignored his flight path. His ship was destroyed when it impacted a rocky spire, but Dace managed to eject from the explosion, using the Force to levitate away from it. He later assisted the Jedi Knights during the Great Sith War, and was among the group that pursued Aleema and Crado into the Cron System. When Aleema tore one of the stars apart, Dace was vaporized in the resulting explosion. (FNU, DLS, TSW)

Diath, Nico
this man was one of the long line of Jedi Knights to come from the Diath family, which traced its roots back some 4,000 years to the planet Tatooine. Something of a rogue within the Jedi Order, Master Diath was known for his hatred of slavery. After attaining the rank of Jedi Master, he refused to take a Padawan learner, choosing instead to roam the galaxy wherever the Force guided him. During the decades leading up to the Clone Wars, he spent much of his time in the Outer Rim, working along to free more than a thousand slaves. It was rumored that the Hutts had even tried to put a bounty on his head. Unfortunately for the Jedi Order, Master Diath died during the early stages of the Clone Wars. He had been part of the team dispatched to recover the antidote to the swamp gas used to destroy life on Ohma-D'un, and was killed when the catwalk he as standing on was damaged by the bounty hunter Durge. Master Diath fell to his death in the lava below. (RBR)

Diath, Sidrona
an ancient Jedi Master and leader of the Republic Senate, he was born in a failed mining colony on the planet Tatooine. He rose to power during the Sith War, but was killed during the Battle of Basilisk. (TSW, IG1, DLS)

Diath, Tae
this young Jedi Padawan was the nephew of Nico Diath, and a part of the almost legendary Diath family of Jedi Knights. Tae was part of the task force which was dispatched to the planet Jabiim, during the height of the Clone Wars, to liberate the planet from Separatist control. Many of the students, Tae among them, were forced to watch their Masters die in battle. As the Padawans tried to regroup, Tae began to question Anakin Skywalker's ability to remain focused on the battle. However, the group remained strong, until Anakin was ordered by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to leave the group to help coordinate the rescue efforts. As Anakin left, Tae and the others regrouped in an effort to slow the progress of Alto Stratus toward the Republic's last base. The fight between Stratus' forces and the Padawans lasted for nearly a day before Tae was caught alone on the battlefield and brutally slaughtered by a group of assassin droids. His death caused a massive, psychic backlash through the Force which destroyed the mind of Elora. (RBJ)

Diathim
this strange race of beings, native to the planet Iego, was often referred to as angels. The University of Sanbra officially recognized the name Diathim. Individually, Diathim appear to be female humanoids that stood between two and three meters in height. Six blade-shaped wings grew from their backs, allowing the Diathim to fly through the air, resembling the angels of many cultural religions. The body of a Diathim seemed to be made up of exceptionally bright, white light, which was tinged around the edges by a pale yellow aura. This light made distinguishing any facial features nearly impossible, giving rise to the varied descriptions of their true appearance. The legend that the Angels came from Iego's moons was rooted in a nugget of truth, because the Diathim could travel through the vacuum of space near Iego, moving from the planet and its moons to approach any starship that stumbled upon the planet. Individual Diathim spent most of their life moving through the Extrictarium Nebula, and only touched the surface of Iego in the area known as the Choir Alignment. There seemed to be no language among the Diathim, and although they radiated benevolence, they were known to have sabotaged many starships. It was believed that those beings who disappeared on Iego lived forever on the planet's surface, although Iego had to discernable natural resources. It was also believed that the Diathim were responsible for bringing starships to Iego, although the way in which they accomplished this was never discovered. (WOTC)

Diatium
this metal was used in the creation of miniature power sources, such as those used in the lightsabers of the Jedi Knights. (COD, VD)

Dibra Born
this being served as the planetary President of Sermeria, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN4)

Dice Ibegon
a female Lamproid encoutnered by Lak Sivrak in the Mos Eisley cantina. Dice was Force-sensitive, and a member of the Alliance. She and Sivrak formed a spiritual bond, and Sivrak was drawn further into the Alliance. When she was killed during the Battle of Hoth, her Force-image was left to roam the galaxy and give Sivrak support. She chose to revisit him and bring him spiritually back to Mos Eisley, where each time he reaffirmed his belief in her and the Alliance.

Dice, Marit
a native of Hali, this young girl attended the Leadership School on Andara during the years following the Battle of Naboo. She was one of the handful of students who attended the School on a scholarship, and was snubbed by many of the wealthier students. This led to her association with Gillam Tarturi and his band of mercenaries, as well as to her friendship with Anakin Skywalker. Anakin was attending the School as part of the investigation into Gillam's disappearance, and Marit decided that he would make a good addition to the band. In order to verify his interest, Marit stole Anakin's river stone, forcing him to return to her to recover it. After introducing Anakin to the team - Gillam was still in hiding - Marit revealed that she was the galactic politics expert for the group, helping them decide which missions to take based on their effectiveness in altering a political course of action. However, her resolve to the group was shaken when she accidentally shot and killed the leader of the planet Tierell. Gillam no longer had any faith in her, and planned to eliminate her as part of a plan to fake his own death and blame it on his father. Anakin and his Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, were able to thwart Gillam's plans. Marit, Gillam, and the entire team were expelled from the Leadership School and transported to Coruscant for questioning.

Dicer
this customized Z-95 Headhunter was owned and operated by Eelo Begraas. Its red-on-black paint scheme was known to most spaceport traffic controllers in the Mid Rim during the last decades of the Old Republic, as the coloration made the ship blend into the backdrop of outerspace, and was virtually invisible to the naked eye. The Dicer was armed with two pairs of blaster cannons and a proton torpedo launcher, and was co-piloted by Begraas' astromech droid R6-A1. (WOTC)

Di-crome
this reflective material is often used on camouflage coverings, such as tents and shelters. When inert, a fabric impregnated woth di-crome reflects all light around it.

Didi and Astri's Café
this was the name of Didi Oddo's café, some four years after the Battle of Naboo. It was originally known simply as Didi's Café, twenty years earlier. After Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi helped free Didi from Jenna Zan Arbor's schemes, the café was renamed to Didi and Astri's Café, when he accepted his daughter as a full partner. Astri worked hard to change the image of the restaurant, and the clientele evolved to include Senators and businessbeings in addition to the occasional smuggler. (DH, JQ)

Solum'ke loved the idea of hunting for treasure, and talked Diergu-Rea into financing the trip. They succeeded in locating the treaaure, and began to remove as much as they could before the water levels rose with the tides. However, they were double-crossed by K'zk, who left them to die when the tides began filling the treasure chamber. The two Weequay were eventually rescued by another group of vacationers, but found themselves flat broke. They hoped one day to return to Zelos II and recover more of the treasure. (TFNR)

Digger
this clone trooper was part of the platoon dispatched to Pengalan IV, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, to eliminate a Separatist missile facility on the planet. He was given the nickname Mapper by Joram Kithe, who was stranded on the planet with the platoon's survivors after the Separatist sprang a trap. The nickname, given to help Joram communicate with the troopers, was based on the fact that the clone trooper was digging shallow graves for his fallen comrades when Joram regained consciousness. It was later revealed to Joram that Digger and his platoon-mates were actually enhanced clones, having been given additional self-reliance and initiative during their development. These enhanced troops were dispatched with observers like Joram, in order to ensure the production of clone troopers was continued. (SWI65)

Dil, Cilia
this woman, a native of the planet Junction 5 some twenty-three years before the Battle of Geonosis, was charged with crimes against the state for her role in inciting rebellion against the Guardians. Just before Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi landed on the planet during another mission, Cilia Dil managed to escape from prison. The Jedi offered to help her in any way they could, and Cilia tentatively agreed. It was then that she revealed her plans to infiltrate Delaluna's Ministry of Offense and Defense in order to steal the plans for the Annihilator weapon. Although the Jedi agreed to help, the mission ultimately exposed the truth: there was no Annihilator weapon at all. The Guardians had used its perceived threat to remain in power, while the Delaluna government had used it to maintain a level of control over the natives of Junction 5. Cilia was thrust into the public forum as a hero, the woman who exposed the treachery of Lorian Nod and brought down the Guardians. (LOJ)

Dil, Jaren
this man was one of the members of the underground rebellion that evolved after the Guardians began cracking down overly hard on the populace, more than twenty years before the onset of the Clone Wars.

Dilonexa XXIII
the middle planet in the Dilonexa System, it is composed of large quantities of lighter elements. Thusly, it has very few natural metals, and must import them in massive quantities. Dilonexa XXIII is an agrarian world; since there are very few bodies of water larger than a small lake, the land has been cultivated into vast farms. It is approximately 25,000 kilometers in diameter. Due to its large land masses, the planet used to be ravaged by huge, city-sized tornadoes that streaked around the entire planet. This required that a series of large weather-control satellites be launched into orbit, in order to keep the farms running without a major disaster each year. (LCF)

Dilorr, Tergeth
this former Imperial conscript jumped ship the first chance he got, and spent much of his early life wandering from planet to planet, hoping to join the Alliance.

In this way, dimilatis was used as a poison against Queen Veda, during her attempt to have her successor chosen via popular election. (MOC)

Dimitor
this city was located on the planet Gallinore. It was distinguished the green marble used to create its buildings, as well as its tree-lined streets.

Even the landings pads at Dimitor's spaceport were created from a multicolored stone, to help them blend into their surroundings. (GMR8)

Dimlurker
found in the formation known as Kystes' Spine, on the planet Talus, this horrific predator was easily distinguished by its bone-white flesh. After generations of living beneath the surface, the dimlurker lacked true eyes, and often simply blundered into their prey. Although their primary diet was made up of the mosses and lichens that grew in the caves, dimlurkers would eat just about anything they encountered. Living prey was subdued by flailing their two limbs, which ended in bony knobs of chitin. The dimlurker then wrapped its flexible body around the prey to suffocate it, before swallowing it whole.

During the supernova that created the Din Pulsar, the violent explosion apparently stripped a huge gas giant of all its atmosphere, exposing the diamond. This diamond created a huge mass shadow in hyperspace, making travel through the Din Nebula impossible. (GMR9)

The remains of a star which died more than 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, the Din Pulsar was originally named in Sanyassan art and songs, and the radiation it produced was believed to have been responsible for the genetic mutations that created the Marauder subrace. It was also believed that the explosion that created the Din Pulsar stripped the atmosphere from a huge gas giant, and left behind a planet-sized diamond. (GMR9)

Din Tinray
this Sullustan was born deaf, and would have died without the help of Doctor Rachael Tikaris. Doctor Tikaris developed a prosthetic ear that precisely mimicked the Sullustan ear, allowing Din to hear normally again. (EGA)

Din, J'fe
this holovid star was widely popular in the Larrin Sector, despite the Empire's best efforts to bring her down. Her most popular show, Starflash, provided viewers with a regular series of hair-raising adventures. In reality, J'fe and her producers were strong supporters of the Alliance, and sent out a variety of coded messages to Alliance agents in Larrin Sector during each episode. J'fe made sure that the messages were undetectable by the average viewer, but obvious to the agents who were looking for them. Many historians believe that J'fe and Starflash quickened the downfall of the Empire in Larrin Sector by a year or more. J'fe and her team later went on to produce Imperial Truth, a show which debuted after the Empire was forced out of Larrin Sector and which described the true nature of Emperor Palpatine's evil government.

At the age of sixteen, he was recruited by Tolamyn Cayble and joined the Imperial Security Bureau. A smug and self-centered man, D'Ink volunteered to go undercover and infiltrate the Friends of Paran. He gained the confidence of its members very quickly, saving their lives several times in brief struggles with Imperial forces. However, he later led Imperial forces directly to the Friends of Paran base in Knellis. He was cornered by the Alliance team supporting the Friends, and died in a brief but intense firefight.

After stealing information from the computers at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, the Disciples stole energy from planets like Corellia, Hoth, and Tatooine before focusing their efforts on the planet Vjun, the former stronghold of Darth Vader. The cult was eventually eliminated by Jaden Korr, who managed to defeat Tavion on Korriban and relegate Ragnos back to the spirit world. (JKA)

Discord Missile
this finned projectile was the primary weapon of the buzz droids that were used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. The many fins, both for stability and maneuverability, allowed the discord missile to fly at incredible speeds through the tightest of turns. This agility, coupled with a thruster system that allowed it to keep up with any manned starship, made discord missiles nearly impossible to avoid. (VD3)

Discril-class Attack Cruiser
this warship was built on the planet Daupherm, for use in the Daupherm defense fleet. The Discril-class measured 85 meters in length, and required a crew of 150 with 51 gunners. It could also transport up to 60 troops and 7,800 metric tons of cargo. It was armed with five turret-mounted laser cannons, four tri-particle beamers, and three tri-laser cannons. (VOF, CRO, PP)

Dish-Dok

Disim
this tropical planet is a twin to the planet Iri, and is located in the Epidimi System. Like its twin, Disim is covered with dense forests and humid rainforests. The system was discovered by the Old Republic some 5,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, and discovered that both worlds had produced species of avians which had similar genetic structures. The Old Republic explorers tried to get the two species to mate, in an attempt to verify their genetic compatability. The experiment was a success, and a new species was created from the union of the two. However, the new species flourished while the two parent species died out. This new species, known as the Tarongs, now dominates both worlds. (GG12)

Disintegrator Field

Diskio Khzrry
this Xi'Dec and its sibling, K'lial, were the only surviving members of their family, which was well-respected in the Xi'Dec community. The rest of the family was killed while vacationing on the Savage Pleasure, during an Imperial assassination attempt. Following the death of the family, both K'lial and Diskio threw in their support for the Alliance. Using their species as a cover, they scoured Grohl Sector looking for other Xi'Dec to recruit into their family. While searching for Xi'Dec, they also appropriate rebel agents and whisk them to safehouses before Imperial officers can capture them. Diskio is the more insectile of the pair, using this dextrous limbs to deactivate locks and security measures. (CRO)

Disra
this Imperial Moff survived the Battle of Endor, the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, and the debacle of Admiral Daala, steadfastly holding onto the Braxant and Bastion Sectors and a small contingent of subordinates. Ten years after the death of Thrawn, Disra found himself in a position which allowed him to rise to power. He had been funneling Imperial credits into building a fleet of Preybird-class starfighters manufactured by Zothip and the Cavrilhu pirates. Disra supplemented the cost of the Preybirds by supplying Zothip with cloned soldiers from Imperial stores. Then, using Flim - an actor who strongly resembled Thrawn - Disra quickly took control of several parts of the remaining Imperial fleet. (SOP)

Disrupter Ray
a primitive weapon that uses ion energy pulses to knock droids and other computer-based machinery out of order. (CSW)

Disruption Bubble Generator

Disruptor
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was the lead ship of Warlord Zsinj's third fleet. (SOC)

Disruptor
a type of blaster which fires in a wide pattern, dirsuptors were illegal in most parts of the galaxy because they reduced solid matter to its constituent molecules. The internal components of a disruptor differed from those of a standard blaster in that they were stronger and able to produce a much more powerful beam of energy. Coupled with the specialized galven pattern in the barrel, this set of components created a beam of energy that could literally disintegrate durasteel plates. All this power came with a price, however. A disruptor usually drained a standard power pack after just five shots, and there was a five-second recycle time between shots in order to prevent overheating. (HSE, CCG9, NEGW)

Disruptor Beam
outlawed during the height of the Old Republic, disruptor beams were security devices which emitted a thin beam of coherent red light. The beam was capable of cutting a being in two without expending much energy. (HP)

Distant Peaks
located on the planet Vaynai, this range of geologically young mountains was often used as a place of exile for individuals accused on crimes. The slopes of the Distant Peaks were covered with sharp rocks, and very little vegetation had taken hold. The shorelines of the individual mountains were continually pummelled by heavy surf, making any landing by boat a dangerous adventure. (GMR8)

Distant Rainbow
a Starwind-class pleasure ship belonging to Mazzic, the Distant Rainbow was heavily modified, and served as Mazzic's mobile base. It was originally owned by a Rodian smuggler who sold it to Mazzic when he retired. Mazzic got a great deal on the vessel, mainly because the Rodian had no idea what he was going to do with it. The existing weaponry was eliminated in favor of a pair of quad laser turrets, mounted top and bottom along the same lines as the Millennium Falcon. Additionally, Mazzic installed upgraded repulsorlift engines and enhanced electronic countermeasures suites. He also made the Distant Rainbow as comfortable as a smuggling ship could be, although the Starwind's small size made quarters quite cramped when the ship was fully loaded. It could accommodate up to ten passengers and two metric tons of cargo, and required a crew of five to operate. (TLC, LCSB, GMR4)

Distant Sunrise
this heavily-modified freighter was owned and operated by Karrison Lee. (WSV)

Distant Wind
this modified XS-800 freighter was owned by Cunbus Locb. The ship was impounded by Imperial Moff Ammar, after it was learned that Locb had stolen several pieces of artwork from him. The artwork, never found by Ammar or his forces, was hidden inside the ship. Ammar later grew frustrated with his search and put the Distant Wind up for auction. The ship was armed with a double lase cannon mounted on the bow and a turret-mounted laser cannon. (SS)

Distna
this planetoid, one of the moons of the planet Corvis Minor Five, was believed to be hollow by New Republic scientists. The Intelligence agency believed that Prince-Admiral Krennel was building Pulsar Station within the moon, based on data recovered from Liinade III. Ysanne Isard's clone believed that Krennel's forces could capture Rogue Squadron with this information, and set up an ambush for them. They nearly succeeded in taking the squadron, until forces led by Colonel Vessery - under the direction of the real Ysanne Isard - destroyed Krennel's forces and recovered the Rogues. (IR)

She refused to accept the honor the next year, citing the dangers of traveling across the galaxy as separatists began rising up against the Old Republic. (HNN4)

Diva Funquita
this large, red-haired slave was owned by Gardulla the Hutt. A trained dancer, she was also Gardulla's chief aide and majordomo. After Gardulla tried to trick Jabba the Hutt into betting on Gasgano just prior to the Boonta Eve Classic podrace, Gardulla ordered Diva Funquita to ensure that Anakin Skywalker failed to compete in the race. She tried to enlist the aid of Ark "Bumpy" Roose, but the alien refused. Note that the Young Jedi Collectible Card Game - Boonta Eve Podrace expansion indicates that Diva was this character's species. Diva Funquita was portrayed by Amanda Lucas in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (IG1, PRT, YJC6, SWDB)

Diva Shaliqua

Diversity Alliance
this loose, political extremist group was made up from several non-human races and planets about 14 years after the Battle of Endor. At the least, they stood for the freedom of all non-human races. At the worst, they demanded the extermination of the human race. The leader of this group was the Twi'lek Nolaa Tarkona, and the group's headquarters was on Ryloth. The Diversity Alliance broke up in thw wake of Tarkona's disappearance. (TEP)

She was especially fond of Alderaanian flare-wings, and kept her own impressive collection as part of a huge display at the Coruscant Xenozoology Museum. (MJH)

Divini, Kornell
this young man, a native of the planet Tatooine, was one of the many youthful surgeons who were pressed into military duty during the height of the Clone Wars. Known as Uli to his friends - a shortened form of the term uli-ah - he was the latest in a long family history of doctors, reaching back several generations. His father, grandfather, and great-grandfather all had a practice together, but Uli wanted to leave the nest and see the galaxy. He trained at Coruscant Medical Hospital before doing a year of internship and a year of residency at the Galactic Polysapient medical center. At the tender age of just nineteen, he was given the rank of Lieutenant despite his lack of medical training, and was immediately dispatched to the planet Drongar to fill the place of Zan Yant. Although the rest of the staff at Rimsoo Seven had their misgivings, Uli quickly adapted to the life of a battle surgeon, and became a valuable member of their staff. (MJH)

Divinian, Bog
a native of the planet Nuralee, this man married Astri Oddo sometime before the Battle of Naboo. He fancied himself an important man, and worked hard to get himself noticed by the politicos of the Old Republic. He eventually earned a position on the board of the Galactic Games, working to coordinate the Games on the plane Euceron some six years after the Battle of Naboo. He hoped to use the experience, as well as the contacts he made, to make a bid to serve as Nuralee's Senator to the Old Republic. However, Bog's ability to make these contacts was only as good as his work, which was simply to provide seating arrangements for the various Old Republic Senators who had traveled to Euceron to witness the Games. Because of this, Bog was implicated in the illegal gambling schemes surrounding the Games by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, who matched his seating charts to the betting receipts they found in Uso Yso's records. However, it was revealed that the betting was part of elaborate scheme to discredit several Old Republic Senators, and Bog was cleared of any charges. Unfortunately for the Jedi, he also covered for Liviani Sarno and Maxo Vista, refusing to disobey the orders of a superior in the hopes of earning praise and promotion. While Bog explained to Astri that he would eventually do good things when he became a Senator, Obi-Wan realized that Bog was already in the clutches of the Commerce Guild. Within a short while after Astri gave birth to their first child, a son named Lune, Bog managed to become a Senator himself, winning an election on Nuralee and providing the Commerce Guild within another sympathetic ear in the Senate. As a Senator, Bog became something of an apprentice to Sano Sauro, who introduced Divinian to the schemes of Granta Omega. With their covert backing, Bog began speaking out against the Jedi Order, twisting certain events to make it appear as if the Jedi Knights were only acting in their own best interests. He even brought in Roy Teda, the deposed ruler of Romin, to speak out against the Jedi. In order to ensure that the plans of Granta Omega and Sano Sauro were not revealed to the Jedi, Bog warned his wife that she was not to speak to her old friend, Obi-Wan Kenobi, or he would take their son away from here. Astri, however, turned over a set of datadisks to Obi-Wan, which she had copied from his personal recorder. The disks revealed that Bog's part in the plans of Granta Omega was to nominate Sano Sauro for the position of Supreme Chancellorship, after the rest of the criminals kidnapped and then executed Chancellor Palpatine. The plan was ultimately foiled, when Granta and Jenna Zan Arbor were forced to flee Coruscant under the pursuit of the Jedi. Their plans to kill the Chancellor and many Senators was hatched nonetheless, and the Jedi were forced to fight hundreds of seeker droids in the Senate chambers to prevent their deaths. In the wake of the attack, Bog's proposal for eliminating support for the Jedi Order was soundly defeated, with even Sano Sauro voting against it. For all intents and purposes, Bog Divinian's political career was destroyed, and even his supporters back on Nuralee refused to continue with their endorsement of him. (JQ3, JQ9)

a long, three-headed snake native to Endor's forest moon, the divto captured its prey by stunning it with a venomous bite. The average divto measured about three meters in length, and was covered with reddish-brown scales that allowed it to blend into the forest. After the Battle of Endor, many divtos were captured or mistakenly transported off Endor's moon, and were quick to adapt on other worlds. The divto population found on the planet Mimban was unusual in that it had a transparent hide, allowing it to blend into almost any swampy environment. (DFRSB, ANT)

Divvik
this vicious creature lays its eggs in the bodies of living hosts. After they hatch, the egg-shaped pupae of this creature are considered a delicacy by the Hutts, but there is a short period of time in which the divvik are edible. After hatching from their pupal stage, they grow almost immediately into adults. The adults are nothing short of killing machines which prefer to dine on living flesh, despite the fact that they are less than a foot tall. The ball-shaped adults move about on two long legs, and use their arms to help them climb and grasp objects. Their whip-like tail is tipped with a dagger-like claw. The skin of the adult divvik is impervious to blaster fire, and their bite contains an acidic poisonous saliva which causes paralysis in most species, and can eat through plastisteel over time. If injured or otherwise cut, the divvik releases a toxic gas from their digestive system. The only safe way to eliminate a divvik is to suffocate it, but this often takes a long time. (PTR)

this was the military police force created by the Gorothite people to try and hold off any hostilities between the Corellian and Aqualish factions which controlled the hyperbaride mining operations on Goroth Prime, soime 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The name D'Jar'Min literally meant "Planetary Defense Arm." Initially, the D'Jar'Min was little more than a symbol of autonomy for the Gorothites, but it evolved into a powerful police force. (GSE)

Djarri
this Devaronian operated the Black Hole bar on The Life level of Vergesso Base, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was not happy that the bar was a rowdy establishment, and didn't hesitate to have the Base's security forces blast any being that didn't listen to him. (SPG)

Djinn Altis
this was the name of the Jedi Master who went to Chad and found Callista Ming, during the last years of the Old Republic. Master Altis, who worked from a training facility located in th clouds of Bespin, was one of several Jedi who were at odds with the Jedi Council over the Master-Learner pairing, claiming that it was not always the case throughout the history of the Jedi. He also believed that the age restriction on accepting Padawan learners should be lifted. He was rumored to have been one of the Jedi who served aboard the Chu'unthor before it was destroyed on Dathomir, although this was simply a twist of the truth. Master Altis purchased his own training ship and named it the Chu'unthor in honor of the ancient training ship list on Dathomir. Rumor also had it that Altis died on Dathomir, in a battle with the Nightsisters, leading to some confusion about the original Chu'unthor's actual age. (COJ, DS, NEGC, SWDB)

Djirra
this Imperial logistics officer was a Lieutenant when the Empire garrisoned Cloud City. Djirra was earlier in charge of determining how to use carbon-freezing techniques to place a being into hibernation. (SESB)

Djo, Augwynne
Mother of the Singing Mountain clan on Dathomir, and Teneniel's grandmother. (CPL)

Djo, Tenel Ka
the daughter of Isolder and Teneniel Djo, Tenel Ka was raised on Dathomir in the tradition of the other witches in Teneniel's clan. Tenel showed great aptitude with the Force, and later attended Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, at the same time as Jacen and Jaina Solo. She was a reserved, distant companion to the twins, in keeping with the strength she learned on Dathomir. When Luke discovered the connection between Lando Calrissian's lost corusca gems and the space station Borgo Prime, he took Tenel Ka with him to search out any leads on the Shadow Academy. Later, she posed with him on Dathomir as Force sensitives, and were transported to the Shadow Academy. There, they helped rescue Jaina and Jacen. Her Jedi training nearly came to an end when Luke Skywalker requested that the students at his praxeum built their own lightsabers, in preparation for battling the Shadow Academy. Tenel Ka felt that the weapon was no the important link, but the warrior was. She didn't focus all of her energies in her lightsaber, which she built from an old rancor tooth. In a practice duel with Jacen Solo, Tenel pushed herself and Jacen to their limits. Her lightsaber failed to maintain its energy beam, and Jacen's blade passed through it, severing Tenel Ka's left arm above the elbow. The wound was instantly cauterized, and replacing the hand was impossible. She travelled back to Hapes to recover from the incident, secretly wondering about her own abilities. She found herselve in the midst of Ambassador Yfra's treacherous plans. The series of ensuing battles forced Tenel Ka to realize that, although the warrior is very important, how the warrior maintains their touch on the Force is most important. Her injury was of minimal importance if she truly mastered the Force. She returned to Yavin 4, and built a new lightsaber. She kept to her original design of using a rancor tooth, but worked with the Force to create a weapon superior to the original. It used a rainbow gem from Gallinore, and produced a turquoise-colored blade. After becoming a full Jedi Knight, Tenel Ka and the rest of her friends were thrust into the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong. She was one of the Jedi who were sent to Myrkr to destroy the voxyn queen, and one of just a handful to survive the mission. The Jedi team stole the Yuuzhan Vong frigate Ksstarr and took it to Hapes, where Tenel had to face the real possibility that her mother might die or be assassinated. The Hapan people were demanding stronger leadership, and feared that Teneniel Djo might lead them to ruin. Tenel Ka refused to take her mother's place, deciding that she wanted to remain a Jedi Knight. It was also during this period on Hapes when she declared - at least to herself - that she had loved Jacen Solo. When she discovered that her mother had been poisoned, Tenel Ka used what little political power she had to turn the Hapan fleet over to Colonel Jagged Fel, in the hopes that he could command them in battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. Tenel Ka then confronted her grandmother, announcing that she would take her mother's place as Queen. Note that Tenel Ka has been named several times as Kenel Ka or Tenel Ta throughout the Young Jedi Knights books. (HTF, SA, L, DK, JUS, SBS, DJ)

Djo, Teneniel
a Dathomir witch of the Singing Mountain clan, gifted with the use of the Force storm. She finds Luke and Isolder after they land on Dathomir, and she claims ownership of Isolder. She later gives part of her own life energy to save a Nightsister in the hopes that she could be saved and turned back to the Light Side. She and Isolder were later married, and Teneniel moved to Hapes with Isolder. Once on Hapes, she and Isolder gave birth to a daughter, Tenel Ka. Teneniel Djo continued to live with Ta'a Chume, although the Queen Mother continued to rankle at Isolder's choice for a bride. However, Ta'a Chume eventually stepped down as Queen Mother, and Teneniel assumed the rank. Twenty years later, during the early stages of the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong, Teneniel Djo became pregnant again, in an effort to produce a suitable heir to the throne. She and Isolder were at odds over the role of Tenel Ka in the succession, and Teneniel Djo had to battle Isolder's will to become pregnant. Unfortunately, the emotional backlash in the Force from the Battle of Fondor caused Teneniel Djo to miscarry her unborn child, and she sank into a deepening despair. Meanwhile, Ta'a Chume began searching for a new woman to replace Teneniel Djo. The former Queen Mother hoped to mold some strong woman into her own image and insinuate her into Isolder's life, removing Teneniel Djo from her position as Queen Mother. The woman she chose was Jaina Solo, but Ta'a Chume could not simply stand by and wait for Isolder to divorce his wife. The former Queen Mother secretly arranged for Teneniel Djo to be poisoned, an act which Tenel Ka and Jaina Solo were unable to prevent. Both arrived in the Queen's quarters to find Teneniel Djo slumped over in her chair, dead from an ingestion of poison which appeared to have been the handiwork of the Ni'Korish faction.

Her brothers, Doby and Deland, hoped to defeat Sebulba at the podraces being staged against the backdrop of the Galactic Games on Euceron, some six years after the Battle of Naboo, thereby winning back Djulla's freedom. In order to ensure victory, the brothers agreed to help Maxo Vista by accepting information on the racecourse before other racers, thereby bringing the racers into a crowded part of Eusebus. However, Deland was hurt in a fight with Sebulba, and Anakin agreed to pilot their racer. Anakin's Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, discovered that the brothers were in league with Maxo Vista, and had the Euceron arrested. Doby and Deland, however, grabbed Djulla and fled Euceron in the resulting confusion. (JQ3)

DK-4F3
this protocol droid traveled with its master to the planet Zeltros, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Although not a living being, and seemingly incapable of any biological need for pleasure, DK-4F3 experienced one of the most invigorating oil bath treatments it had ever had from a Zeltros cafarel. (PH)

D'kar
this Alliance agent one worked with Airen Cracken. In order to escape a group of lizard-men who had captured them, the group drew straws to see who would plant a bomb to distract the creatures. D'kar drew the short straw, and set out to explode the bomb. The only available "bomb" was created by plugging a positive flow detonator to a negative flow coupler. The "bomb" exploded the instant D'kar connected the two pieces, and was killed immediately. The rest of the group escaped. (CFG)

D'kee-class Landing Ship
this Ssi-ruuvi starship was carried into battle by the Sh'ner-class planetary assault cruiser. Twelve D'kee-class ships could be carried in each Sh'ner-class ship deployed. The D'kee-class ships were piloted by four P'w'eck servants and eight P'w'eck gunners who are remotely controlled by a Ssi-ruuk aboard the Sh'ner-class ship. In addition to this crew complement, 100 collectors traveled on the ship to round up potential entechment subjects. The D'kee ship was armed with 100 paralysis cannisters, which it dropped over population centers as it plummetted through the atmosphere. The cannisters explode some 3,000 meters in the air, releasing large amounts of a Ssi-ruuvi paralysis toxin. The toxin was effective in two ways: skin contact and inhalation. The paralyzing effect lastsedabout eight hours, during which time the victims were alert but unable to move. Once the toxins had been released, the D'kee-class ships then descended to collect up to 10,000 entechment subjects each. (EGV, TBSB)

DL-12
this was a heavy blaster pistol produced during the early years of the New Order. (WOA18)

DL-18
a sleek, hand-held blaster built by Blas-Tech. They were quite plentiful during the later years of the Empire, and often found their way into the hands of the Alliance. One of the many places that saw a flood of DL-18s was the planet Tatooine, and the weapon earned the nickname "Mos Eisley Special." (RASB, DFR, CCG7)

DL-22
this small blaster pistol was produced by BlasTech, as a follow-up to the DL-18. It was sturdier than its predecessor, and was produced to match the Merr-Sonn DD6 in the first of the so-called "blaster wars" between the two manufacturers. (GUN)

DL44
see DL-44 (GQRG)

DL-44
a heavy blaster pistol built by Blas-Tech, the DL-44 was one of the most popular weapons BlasTech ever produced. While its design gave it a short range, the DL-44 was extremely powerful for a hand-held weapon. Among its distinguishing features was its "cautionary pulser" grip, which provided a slight vibration to the user's gunhand when the powerpack was getting low. The weapon, which was copied by Merr-Sonn's Flash 4 pistol and by Imperial Munitions, gained its populariy due to the fact that Han Solo used a modified version of this type of blaster. However, its firepower forced many worlds in the New Republic to outlaw the possession of the DL-44 by civilians. (SW, DFR, RASB, EGW, AEG, NEGW)

DL-56
this BlasTech blaster pistol was produced for Imperial use during the last years of the New Order. (DARK)

DL-68
this was the model number of BlasTech's cutting blaster, designed for use by scouts and explorers. It produced a "cold blast" of energy, which was a prolonged burst of low-powered cohesive light capable of cutting down a tree. The "cold blast" is not strong enough to throw up sparks or start a fire during its use, but requires a great deal of power. (GG8)

DL-6H
this was a model of heavy blaster pistol produced by BlasTech during the New Order. Because of its relatively small size and high power output, the DL-6H was outlawed in many star systems. (FOP, GUN)

DL-87
this was the model number of BlasTech's Firespray blaster, a deck-clearing weapon known for its ability to deliver a wide fire arc with sustained power. The weapon, originally rejected by the Imperial Navy because of its perceived short range and low rate of fire, was not so much aimed as it was swept across its target. (PP, GUN)

D'lak
this Twi'leki spice merchant was a minor dealing in the Outer Rim, buying and selling spice along the Corellian Trade Spine. He was known to be a fair-weather friend to independent spacers, willing to employ them but unwilling to help them if they got into a jam. (PSG)

D'larah
one of the most affluent cities on the planet Demophon, it was not as restricted as other cities during the New Order because the city's governor was related to an Imperial official. The city of D'larah was designed with pleasure in mind, and is visualy appealing. (SN)

D'larah Palm
a tree which has been genetically altered to grow in the domed city of D'larah, this palm has bright crimson leaves and produces a deep red fruit which has a sweet milk. (SN)

Dlarit, Aerin
this native of Thyferra was one of the higher managers in the Xucphra bacta corporation. He was also appointed a General in the Thyferran Home Defense Corps when Ysanne Isard took control of Thyferra. He had no real duties, but was a perfect public relations man for Isard. He was also Erisi Dlarit's father, which made him a prime target for Rogue Squadron's ground forces during the early stages of the Battle of Thyferra. They made an assault on the Dlarit estate, which was set on a small knoll at the base of an extinct volcano and protected by a ring of Comar TriTracker batteries. In an effort to stir up the Vratix and embarras the Bacta Cartel, Aerin was executed by Elscol Loro and Iella Wessiri and left in his den, slumped over the desk and completely naked. (BW)

Dlarit, Erisi
a native of Thyferra, she was selected to become a member of X-Wing Rogue Squadron because she was also a member of the Xucphra faction, and was thought to have been complementary to the addition of Bror Jave to the Squadron. However, it was later discovered that Dlarit was actually working as a spy for Ysanne Isard and the Imperial factions which supported the bacta cartels. She was planted to provide information on the New Republic's reactions to the Krytos virus, which would guarantee that the bacta cartels would continue to monopolize the market under Imperial control. She was discovered as a spy when her ship malfunctioned and was captured by the Lusankya as it escaped from Coruscant. Her astromech reported no malfunction, and relayed the deliberate flight plan that took her into the Lusankya's holds. Once back on Thyferra, Erisi was appointed a flight leader among the Thyferran Home Defense Corps, and became romantically involved with Fliry Vorru. Their romance was short-lived, though, as Vorru was taken prisoner by Iella Wessiri and Elscol Loro, and Erisi was forced into defending her homeworld in the Battle of Thyferra. She managed to destroy Nawara Ven's X-Wing, but the Twi'lek managed to eject before being engulfed in flames. She was rewarded by becoming the target of Corran Horn, who managed to fire on her before she could escape to hyperspace. Horn's shots were on-target, and Erisi's ship simply disintegrated under fire. It was believed that Erisi did not survive the explosion. (XWN, WG, KT, BW)

Dles IV
this planet was the site of an Alliance penal colony during the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ4)

DLI-250
this was the model number of a series of hover-cams produced by Data-Link Industries during the early years of the New Republic. This hover-cam was favored by many news reporters of the day, because it could accept verbal commands and "learn" to anticipate its owner's commands. This allowed a reporter with an "experienced" DLI-250 to give the hover-cam minimal instructions, knowing that the droid would return with the desired footage. (GUN, SWJ6)

DL-III NightFang

Dllr Nep
a Sullustan X-Wing pilot, Dllr served under Wedge Antilles as part of Rogue Squadron following the Battle of Endor. He joined the fledgling New Republic after Sullust began moving toward a relationship with them, and found the galaxy much to his liking. He was particularly interested in the various musical styles of the galaxy, although his taste in music often got on his fellow Rogues' nerves. When the Rogues were dispatched to search for the Starfaring near Malrev, Dllr began hearing the most beautiful music coming from the planet. He thought the music was a product of the planet, and could even see the music in front of him. However, the music was actually the power of the Dark Side of the Force being channelled by the mad Devaronian, Cartariun. Cartariun used the Dark Side to lure Dllr to his temple, where Cartariun began channeling more energy with Dllr's belief in the music. Dllr was mentally linked to Herian I'ngre by this music, which both had heard. However, Herian recognized the Dark Side before she could be overtaken. She willed Dllr to resist, which he was able to to for a short time. However, in the end, Dllr gave himself as the ultimate sacrifice. He absorbed the Sith energy wielded by Cartariun and tried to turn it against the Devaronian, but was shot in the back by Girvo Dza'tey. Later, having survived the blast, Dllr helped Herian to safety. However, both sacrificed themselves in eliminating Cartariun, flying Herian's X-Wing into his temple and destroying it. (XWRS, XWRR, HXW)

It was known as a Longblaster, along with the BlastTech A280 rifle. (VD, AEG)

D'lund, Hannis
this young man was a native of the planet Tuttin IV, and played the touchboard for the amateur band known as Far Cry, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. At seventeen, Hannis was the oldest member of the band, and was a muscular youth with long blond hair. His grandparents had bee Core World aristocrats during the last decades of the Old Republic, and his family fled to the Inner Rim when the Empire took control of the galaxy. Hannis himself had grown up on the run, and saw life as something of a game. (GMR6)

DM/C3
this Alliance protocol droid was codenamed Dagger, and was planted in Imperial Moff Vanko's office as Vanko's personal decoding droid. In this capacity, DM/C3 could provide the Alliance with valuable information on fleet movements, while at the saem time planting false reports in Vanko's mailbox. It was DM/C3 that alerted the Alliance to the secret meetings between Vanko and Torpin aboard the Kuari Princess. DM/C3 was smashed to bits when the Riders of the Maelstrom took control of the Kuari Princess, but managed to remain active long enough to provide the Alliance agents on board the ship with the ship's lockout control codes. (RM)

Dmaynel Kiph
this Devaronian from the planet Coruscant was the leader of the Alien Combine of the Invisible Sector. (WG)

D-Mot
this was the name of Raquid Krev's security droid. Krev used the droid to guard his ship, the Lexus Primal. A group of spice-jackers once fooled the droid into letting them onto Krev's ship by disguising one of their members as Krev himself. D-Mot allowed the false Krev to deactivate itself, thereby allowing the spice-jackers to steal the cargo. (GG11)

DN Bolt Caster
this plasma disruptor weapon was produced by Drever Corporation, as a military version of the popular Phoenix II plasma disruptor tool. The DN Bolt Caster found widespread use among the clone troops of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, as its plasma beam was particularly effective in destroying battle droids. The effectiveness of the DN Bolt Caster far outweighted its cost, which was expensive enough to keep the weapon out of the hands of most mercenaries and planetary defense forces. (LAWS)

Dnalla
this woman was one of the leaders of the Friends of Paran, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (OE)

Dnalvec
this is a port city located on the planet Sriluur. (SWJ6, CRO)

In the sector championships held on Arkania, D'nisenz was played against Garem Will when Ohh Bronna and Corwin Kaezeb got into a fistfight during their own match. Will and D'nisenz tried to remain oblivious to the struggle, but their own table was shut down during the match, D'nisenz was declared the winner of the championship, although there was no existing protocol to cover the series of events. (HNN5)

D'Nore
this Bothan served under Zozridor Slayke as a Lieutenant in the Freedom's Sons and Daughters military operation, during the height of the Clone Wars. When Slayke ordered his troops into battle of Praesitlyn, after the Separatists took control of the Intergalactic Communications Center, Lieutenant D'Nore was placed in charge of captruing the redoubt that was codenamed Izable. Once they had accomplished this, D'Nore and his forces were at the forward-most point in Slayke's defenses, forcing them to be alert at all times for enemy activity. (JT)

Doaba Badlands
a desert region of the planet Socorro, the Doaba Badlands cover nearly three-quarters of the planet's surface. Hidden water reserves under the surface provide pockets where plants can grow, including the zsajhira berry. They were named for Iann Doaba, a great warrior who disappeared in the desert after exiling himself in the first recorded instance of the Long Walk. (SWJ2, BSS)

Doaba Guerfel
this city was located on the planet Corellia. The name of the city came from the Old Corellian language, and meant something like "Peaceful Fool." (GQRG)

Doaba ol'val tru
this was an Old Corellian phrase used as a formal greeting. It wishes the recipient peace and hope. It could also be used to say goodbye to a loved one, and was often intoned during funerals to release a being from their earthly body before traveling to the afterlife. (SWJ7, BSS)

Doaba, Iann
this ancient warrior was a Jedi Knight, and was one of the original colonists to settle the planet Socorro. He fell in love with Cjaalysce Beal, and actually killed a man who tried to steal her love from him. His conscience, laden with guilt, led him to exile himself from the rest of the colonists. His self-imposed exile - dooming himself to wander around the open desert - later became known as The Long Walk among the Ibhaan'I shamen. When Cjaalysce learned of his exile, she fled into the desert in search of him. She was lost for many weeks, until her dessicated body was found on a rocky outcropping. Beneath the body, searchers found Iann's robes and his lightsaber. They also found an indelible shadow of his form, and it was generally believed that Iann's grief was so great that it consumed him. The shadow, the past vestige of Iann's spirit, was rumored to have attached itself to a portait of Cjaalysce, and was witnessed wherever the portait was shown. Benoni Ulte came into possession of the portait during the early years of the New Order, and himself claimed to have seen Ian's shadow hovering about it. (BSS)

Doallyn
one of the hunters who answered Jabba the Hutt's call for the capture of a live krayt dragon, Doallyn is a native of the planet Geran. He has strange, bluish skin and light eyes, and the skin on his face was horribly scarred from a attack by a Corellian sand panther. As a native of Geran, Doallyn required hydron-3 in the air he breathed. Thus, when he came to Tatooine, a trace-breather was added to the helmet he wore as part of his hunter's armor. Doallyn was captivated by the sights and sounds of Mos Eisley, and sampled too much liquor when he arrived. He ended up in a high-stakes game of wildstar and woke up to find he had signed on as one of Jabba's palace guards for a year. Jabba kept Doallyn dependent and loyal by doling out daily doses of hydron-3. When Jabba left for the Pit of Carkoon to execute Luke Skywalker, Doallyn was left behind. There, he befriended Yarna d'al' Gargan. They both were met by Tessek when he returned from the Pit with news of Jabba's death, but neither listened to Tessek when he stated he was in charge of the palace. Instead, they fled the palace and headed to Mos Eisley, to rescue Yarna's cubs. Along the way, Doallyn made use of his knowledge of the krayt dragon to kill one that got in their way. He took the pearls from the beast's belly and saved them for Yarna, who used them to pay for the release of her cubs. The group then left Tatooine, stopping first on Geran before deciding to live as free traders aboard their starship. (TJP)

Doby Tyerell
this Aleena and his brother, Deland, were podracers during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Born on Tatooine, Doby and Deland got their start racing in unsanctioned, often illegal, podraces, such as the event that was held in the Great Dordon Caves of the planet Euceron during the Galactic Games. It was during their pre-race preparations that Doby and Deland met fourteen-year-old Anakin Skywalker. They seemed genuinely concerned that their sister, Djulla, was a slave to Sebulba, and that they were working to win the podrace in order to win her freedom. It was later discovered by Obi-Wan Kenobi that Doby and Deland had been in league with Maxo Vista and the rigging of the podrace. Their speeder was to have received advance information about the course, so that they could win the race in the end, despite the accident which Maxo Vista had planned. When Deland was hurt and Anakin agreed to help out by driving, Maxo Vista decided to use his speeder for the accident as well. This would cause an explosion and get rid of the Jedi. However, Maxo Vista was arrested before he could do any real harm, and Anakin managed to keep the disabled podracer from doing any damage to the spectators. (JQ3)

Doc
a female phlog, Dobah was the mate of Zut. Together, they had two offspring, Hoom and Nahkee. (ECAR)

Doc
this female Twi'lek served as one of the original members of Rogue Squadron, during the groups earliest days as part of the Alliance military. She was a gutsy pilot by anyone's standards, and could fly just about anything. After the raid on Incom's headquarters to obtain X-Wing starfighters, Doc was one of the many pilots who began training on the X-Wing. She proved once again to be a quick study, and was part of the small team assembled to infiltrate Commenor and obtain a smuggled shipment of R2-series astromechs from Nera Dantels. Unfortunately, her ship was badly damaged during their escape, experiencing failures in both the shield generators and hyperdrive. Rather than risk the jump to hyperspace, Doc flew her dying ship into the cloud of pursuing TIE Fighters. The resulting explosion took her life, but ensured that her fellow pilots escaped. (SWED)

Doc
this strange alien was a member of the unique culinary staff maintained by Corpo the Hutt. He was an expert in a variety of cooking methods, and often provided commentary while rival chefs battled to please Corpo by cooking new dishes from a theme ingredient. Note that this character is a reference to Yukio Hattori, the culinary expert on the television show Iron Chef. (T7)

Doc
formerly known as Klaus Vandangante, Doc was an only child born on the planet Coruscant. He was doted on by his widowed mother, Carmilla Vandangante, living in luxury and privilege. As a youth, this was maddeningly boring, and he rebelled by programming the droids to stop feeding him food he didn't like. His mother and tutors discovered his "new talents," and restructured his lessons. Klaus soon became a gifted student, and graduated with honors.Following graduation, Klaus was offered a job with Alkherrodyne Propulsions. He quickly accepted, but was unprepared for corporate life. Alkherrodyne had a company policy of programmed obsolescense, something that Klaus didn't learn in school. He chafed against the ideals of creating useful, reliable tools and the need to maintain the bottom line. When Alkherrodyne's Azaria 66 began exploding in the field, they needed a scapegoat to blame it on. They chose Klaus, who was summarily fired and taken to court. After several legal battles, Klaus Vandangante was financially and professionally bankrupt. The fact that Alkherrodyne also went bankrupt was of little consequence, for Klaus no longer existed. He began wandering the galaxy as the spacer called Doc, and found himself in Corporate Sector space. There, he met the beautiful young smuggler Shardra, who introduced him to her own network of spacers. He found work as a starship mechanic, showing an incredible ability to make any modification work reliably, and his results were highly effective. He fell in love with Shardra, and the couple soon gave birth to a daughter, Jessa. However, Shardra's sudden death in a fuel dump explosion once again rocked Doc's world. This time, however, he had Jessa to fall back on, and he dedicated himself to her education and growth. She, like her father, showed a great mechanical aptitude, and she stayed on with him to further his outlaw tech business. He and Jessa recruited the best techs they could find, and have been helping everyone from smugglers to the Alliance. This is how they got tangled up with Han Solo, a brash young pilot who was constantly repairing his ship, the Millennium Falcon. However, Doc's repairs soon came under the scrutiny of the Corporate Sector Authority, who had laid out the regulations for starship modifications. Much of Doc's work involved skirting these regulations and most of his modifications were deemed illegal. Doc suddenly disappeared, part of the sector-wide sweep of criminals placed in the Stars' End detention facility.Han Solo trusted Doc to make most repairs to the Falcon, and went to see him when the loss of his sensor dish in a weapons run to Duroon. However, Doc had already been kidnapped for incarceration at Stars' End. When Han learned this, he agreed to help Jessa rescue Doc. Han and his group of adventurers were able to infiltrated the detention center and rescue the captives, including Doc, who returned to his modification business with Jessa. (HSE, CSA)

Doc
this was the nickname given to the FX-series medical droid modified by Massad Thrumble. Doc - originally designated AOI-C - was a one-of-a-kind, and had the upper section of the FX series mounted on a treaded base. Thrumble programmed the droid with top-of-the-line medical and surgical skills, and gave it the necessary tools to perform surgery on any number of species. Doc considered the reprogramming of Guri - who rescued the droid from Spinda Caveel - to be a "wonderful technical challenge." (SEE)

Docent Vant
this tall, blue-skinned Twi'lek female was one of the Jedi instructors at the temple on Coruscant, during Obi-Wan Kenobi's early training. She had but a single headtail, which was ornately tattooed.

this Vashan theocrat set out to obtain the Tessent during the early years of the New Republic, hoping to satisfy his own curiosity about the idol. He labored among the common Vashans who were virtually enslaved by the Ayrou, something he considered a religious duty. While digging in the mines, it was believed that At-Rial discovered the Ayrou Tessent and hid it by swallowing it and storing it in one of his antestomachs. He maintained his secret, as well as his life, because the Vashan miners protected him in ranks wherever he went. However, At-Rial maintained the appearance of a religious figure only to ensure that he retained his guard. (GMR9)

Dochinie
this eight-legged, avian creature was native to the moon Mina, where they were domesticated and used to herd pechs and rujos by the native population. Dochinies were directed with tones from a special pipe, which produced sounds that were just above the normal range of hearing for a human. (GMR9)

this Rodian played the slitherhorn for the Max Rebo Band. Dodo was born on a shuttle that was en route to Tatooine, after his parents fled the wrath of Navik the Red. Dodo learned to respect his clan from his mother, and learned to love music from his father. He grew up in the streets of Mos Eisley with his best friend, Falk, but was forced out of his home when bounty hunters from Rodian killed his parents and burned the house. He and Falk then grew up as part of the Shawpee Gang, and they were fond of frocking jawas and stealing ronto steaks. Over the years, he grew into one of the minor information brokers in the spaceport city. After they left the Shawpees, Dodo and Falk joined Jabba the Hutt's ring of informants. Falk was eventually killed for spying, but Dodo remained with Jabba's group, and even joined the bands that played in the palace. Dodo managed to avoid his own death when Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon, having been sent to deliver a message from Bib Fortuna to Onici Wen. After Jabba's death, Dodo sneaked into the palace and stole some valuable treasures before fleeing Tatooine forever. Among those treasures were the sculptures known as the Minstrel and the Dancing Goddess. He sold these back to their original owners, and retired to a comfortable living on Tharkos. (RJSE, CCG9, MTSE, SWI67)

Dodonna
named for General Jan Dodonna, the Dodonna was a flagship assault frigate in the New Republic's fleet. The ship was part of Wedge Antilles' flight group, which he commanded from the Yavaris, during the search for General Madine and the Darksaber. (DS)

Dodonna, Jan
Jan Dodonna was one of the Old Republic's foremost military tacticians. Along with his friend and comrade Adar Tallon, they were a formidable pair. Tallon's ability to manipulate ship-to-ship combat complimented Dodonna's logistical mind and siege tactics. Dodonna was one of the first Star Destroyer Captains for the Old Republic, and was a task force commander during the height of the Clone Wars. When Dodonna first heard of Tallon's death, he retired. Soon after, Palpatine's New Order was implemented, and the military records of the Old Republic's finest officers were scrutinized. Dodonna was deemed too old to retrain, and was ordered for execution. A timely intervention by the Alliance, coupled with the knowledge of him impending execution, turned Dodonna toward the Alliance. He defected to the Alliance, and became one of their greatest strategists. Deep in his heart, he felt the need to help the Alliance turn the tide, for he saw the Empire using is greatest strategies against the Alliance, primarily in the Siege of Dalron V and the infamous Project Asteroid. He was placed in charge of the attack on the first Death Star, and agonized without sleep over the plans delivered by Leia Organa. His keen insight discovered the flaw in the reactor shaft, and he organized the snubfighter battle around it. With the Death Star gone, Dodonna was placed in charge of defending Yavin 4 until a new base could be found. He discovered that his son, Vrad, had been severely injured in an attack on the Super Star Destroyer Executor, and later died of his injuries. He helped destroy a wing of Imperial TIE Bombers that attacked Yavin 4, but was critically wounded in the battle. He was captured by the Imperials, and was imprisoned at the Lusankya facility. Known as the "Old Man," Dodonna was the unofficial leader of the prisoners working in the mines when Corran Horn was sent there. Jan helped Corran escape the facility, but couldn't escape with Horn without endangering the other prisoners. When Horn made his attempt, Jan noticed that Evir Derricote was attempting to follow him. Jan pursued Derricote and deflected his first attack on Horn. Corran was able to kill Derricote with the very shovel Derricote attacked him with. Jan remained behind when Corran left, and was probably transported to Thyferra when the Lusankya left Coruscant. Dodonna and the other prisoners were transported to the planet Ciutric by Ysanne Isard's clone, where they were held and drugged to ensure their compliance. Isard's clone pretended to move them every so often, using elaborate chambers and neurological drugs to make them believe they were travelling through hyperspace. In fact, they never left the planet. After the Battle of Bilbringi, the New Republic joined forces with the real Ysanne Isard, and was able to launch an assault on Ciutric. Dodonna and the remaining Lusankya prisoners were rescued by Corran Horn. Dodonna was eventually reunited with Adar Tallon, who had been discovered hiding on Tatooine and persuaded to join the Alliance some years before. The two, along with Vanden Willard, were known as the "Gray Cadre" among the Alliance's military. Note that The Truce at Bakura depicts Dodonna as an active member of the fledgling New Republic, and as the developer of the Battle Analysis Computer. After his rescue from Ciutric, Dodonna went on to become a competent statesman for the New Republic before he retired to New Alderaan, thinking that most of the battle with the Empire was over. He was quite surprised at the advent of Grand Admiral Thrawn and the new life shown by the remnants of the Empire, and so he came out of retirement and became one of the New Republic's most trusted military advisors, helping to turn the tide during the Battle of Calamari. Dodonna was portrayed by Alex McCrindle in Star Wars: Episode I - A New Hope. (SW, DE1, DESB, EGC, CSW, KT, IR, LEV)

Dodonna, Vrad
the son of Jan Dodonna, Vrad fled from an encounter with the Executor just before the Battle of Hoth. He escaped from the battle in a shuttle and hid behind a nearby moon until the battle was completed. Vrad had a great fear of dying in battle, which he tried to conceal from his father. He faked battle damaged to his shuttle with a blaster and returned to Yavin 4. Han Solo and Luke Skywalker were able to see through the deception, but couldn't decide how to approach General Dodonna about it. In an effort to make up for his perceived cowardice, Vrad volunteered to take the last power gem into battle against the Executor. Dodonna named Luke as his backup, which worried Luke. Luke confronted Vrad about his suspicions, but Vrad knocked him unconscious. They had to put their differences aside as the mission began, but Vrad panicked when he encountered the ship again. He was able to penetrate the Star Destroyer's defenses and momentarily drop some of its shields, but the power gem's effects were short-lived, and the Executor survived. Vrad then landed on a small moon and dropped off Luke, them returned to ram the Star Destroyer with his own ship, sacrificing himself in hopes of doing more damage to the Executor. Following Vrad's death, Luke was promoted to Commander. Note that the Star Wars Radio Drama indicates Luke wasn't promoted to Commander until Narra's death. (CSW)

They were solitary hunters, and the sharp drop in their numbers resulted in their being protected. Hunters were still allowed to take d'oemir, provided that they paid up front for a license and a guide. The average d'oemir bear measured two meters in height when fully erect. (BSS)

Dogder, Ghitsa
this woman was a Hutt counselor for most of her career, although she freelanced as a smuggler with Fenig Nabon during the early years of the New Republic. She had a Coruscanti accent, but not the bearing of a noble. She was at one time a counselor for the Desilijic kajidic, but had since worked for the Besadii clan. Ghitsa's family had been acting as Hutt counselors, helping facilitate business between the Hutts and the Core Worlds, for nearly 150 years. She had met Fenig on Socorro a couple of years after the Battle of Endor, and they formed a loose partnership. When Ghitsa negotiated the services of a group of Twi'leki dancers for Durga, it struck her as an act that was morally wrong. Every the schemer, Ghitsa contracted the Mistryl to help transport the dancers, then verbally abused and goaded the Mistryl pilots. This was all in an effort to have the Mistryl become angry and force them off the ship. That way, Ghitsa could claim to Durga that the dancers had been stolen, ensuring that the Mistryl would help get them to safety. Ghitsa had Fen reprogram the Fury's ID codes to those of the Indenture, then told Durga that the Karazak slave ship stole the dancers. In fury, Durga expelled Ghitsa from her position as Hutt counselor, another outcome she had hoped to achieve. Shortly afterward, the Star Lady was stranded on Prishardia, the victim of sabotage by Culan Brasli and the Desilijic clan, and Ghitsa posed as a Jedi Knight in order to con the locals out of their hard-earned credits. She was waylayed, and had to be rescued by Fen and Kyp Durron. However, Ghitsa managed to steal information on the Orko SkyMine project from Counselor Ral, and later turned it over to Talon Karrde for distribution to the New Republic authorites. (TFNR)

this Avoni was the primary force behind a plot to take control of the planet Radnor, some years after the Battle of Naboo. Dol Heep approached the Radnoran siblings, Galena and Curi, with an offer to purchase some of their weapons technology. Curi refused, and Dol Heelp began secretly meeting with Galen to obtain the technology he wanted. Galen, for his part, served Dol Heep well. Dol Heep was ostensibly "trapped" on Radnor when an endemic plague was unleashed in the city of Aubendo, five years before the onset of the Clone Wars, but was actually overseeing the evacuation of Radnorans in order to steal their wealth and then their planet. The Avoni purchased a huge number of prototype battle droids developed by the Radnorans, using them to secure parts of the planet while keeping the Jedi Knights - who were on Radnor to ensure an orderly evacuation - at bay. Unfortunately for the Avoni, the plans set in motion by Dol Heep were discovered by the Jedi Knights who were dispatched to Radnor to ensure an orderly evacuation. While he loudly denied any wrong-doing, Dol Heep was arrested on charges of conspiracy to take control of Radnor. (JQ1)

Dolph
this native of Almania was somewhat Force sensitive. At a young age, he witnessed the brutality of the Je'Har, as they ravaged his village and took his parents prisoner. He managed to avoid capture, only to witness his parents' deaths. The Je'Har had them tied to posts and left to suffer in the harsh, summer sun outside their palace. It took his parents a week to die of hunger, dehydration, and sunstroke. He never forgot this, even when he began training as a Jedi under Luke Skywalker. One of several students who left the praxeum, Dolph returned to Almania with a plan to avenge his parents and gain control of the galaxy. Dolph felt that the Light and Dark sides of the Force were descriptions used by the Jedi to limit their students. He felt that Darth Vader returned to the Light Side only because he had nothing left to live for. Using the failed Jedi Brakiss as a tool, and gathering a substantial force around him, Dolph assumed the monicker of Kuellar, an ancient Almanian army general who was ruthless in his approach. As Kuellar, he exterminated the Je'Har by planting specially-built droids in their midst. He adopted the use of a Hendanyn death mask after discovering one among the ruins of the Je'Har temples, and began collecting similar masks from around the galaxy. The droids he used to defeat the Je'Har were built by Brakiss, and contained remotely-controlled bombs. The droids had been two years in the making and distribution. Dolph detonated the droids at a specific time, wiping out all but the Je'Har leaders. The leaders he captured and tortured for a week, avenging the deaths of his parents. Next, he used similar tactics to wipe out the population of Pydyr, the affluent moon of Almania. He then placed similar droids - as well as specially-rigged flight computers for new X-Wings - in the possession of the New Republic. He used a series of smuggling contacts in the Smuggler's Run to deliver the bombs. He succeeded in destroying the Senate Assembly Chamber, and began to terrorize Leia Organa-Solo via the Force. As the New Republic began to discover what he was all about, he drew Luke Skywalker and Leia to Almania. There, he hobbled Luke and tried to capture Leia. However, the intervention of Han Solo and a shipment of ysalamiri blovked Dolph from the Force, and allowed Leia to break through his visions and clearly see him. She shot him in the head with a blaster, ending his reign of terror. (TNR)

Dolphe, Porro
this man was an officer in the Naboo Royal Security Forces. Dolphe piloted an N-1 starfighter as part of Bravo Squadron, serving as Bravo 2 under the command of Ric Olie' during the Battle of Naboo.

Dolphe continued to serve with the military on Naboo, and eventually became a Corporal. He was the flight leader assigned to accompany Padme' Amidala to Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis, commanding the small group of N-1 starfighters that accompanied Senator Amidala's Naboo Royal Cruiser. (CCG15, AOTCN)

Dolstan

He has been described as having an ingratiating manner, and although he is an enthusiastic sabacc player, he isn't very good. He collects flowering plants as a hobby, concentrating on those species that are beautiful, fragrant, and persistent. He is also heavily addicted to the drug lesai. Doluff had been trying to arrest Bohhuah Mutdah for awhile, and saw Lando as a way to get near him. When Lando killed Kenow on Oseon 6845, Doluff charged him with carrying a concealed weapon - a capital offense - but gave him an out, provided Lando would transport Bassi Vobah and Waywa Fybot to Mutdah's asteroid during the Flamewind.
