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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Agamar is located in the Lahara sector in the Outer Rim. Its cities include the large municipality of Calna Muun and the backwater town of Tondatha, which was wiped out by the Empire for harboring Rebel collaborators. Binka trees grow on the planet, and are so competitive that the trees in binka forests grow widely-spaced apart. A traditional Agamarian dish is mugruebe stew, which is made from bark, roots, and meat. The famous Alliance pilot Keyan Farlander was a native of Agamar. [FP]

Agrilat contains a crystal swamp where an illegal and dangerous swoop race between Dengar and Han Solo was once held. Dengar was left with severe injuries and a burning hatred for Solo. [MTS]

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

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

One of Han Solo's former smuggling associates, Tregga, was imprisoned on Akrit'tar and sentenced to life at hard labor after being caught with a smuggled cargo of chak-root. [HSR]

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

Alderaan, which once shared the Alderaan system with its sister planet Delaya, was a beautiful, peaceful, moonless planet and one of the foremost worlds of the inner systems. Its sweeping steppes and gentle hills were covered with rich grasslands, and weather patterns were predictable and pleasant. Though the planet lacked oceans, Alderaan had many shallow lake chains and one ice-rimmed polar sea. The various species of grasses covering the plains numbered more than 8000, and colorful flowers (including arallutes, T'iil, and Alderaan flame-lilies) were even more numerous. In late summer as the grasses dried, their seeds would be swept up by the winds in impressive "seedstorms," which were sometimes thick enough to prevent air travel. Alderaanian rainbow wood was a popular planetary export. Animal life on the world included huge saillike thrantas-- docile lighter-than-air beasts which were used as mounts and airborne taxis by Alderaan's inhabitants. Other animals included stilt-legged flightless birds and armored caterpillars, which metamorphosed into furry moths after a dozen years of living underground. Domesticated grazers and nerfs were raised as food sources, and every year lowly nerf herders would travel into the cities to sell their animals' meat. The Alderaanians culled the wildlife herds on the continent of Thonn to remove those animals too sick to survive the winter. Some of the galaxy's greatest artists and thinkers came from Alderaan, and the world was often considered the center of galactic culture. Certain artists used Alderaan's wide grasslands as their canvases, planting seeds in intricate patterns and displaying their art as it grew and blossomed. One of the world's greatest holidays was the "Silver Flow," celebrated each spring when thousands of hatching glimmerfish choked the waterways. Points of interest on Alderaan included the oro woods, which covered a dozen small islands in the planet's largest inland sea. The woods, dubbed a planetary treasure by Alderaan's government, were filled with trees hundreds of meters tall covered with brightly-colored lichens, and harbored gold-striped red deer and white cairoka birds. Elsewhere, on the northern steppes at the edge of Alderaan's great plains, lay the ancient and mysterious ruins collectively known as the Castle Lands. The ruins, former colony hives built by the long-vanished insectoid Killik race, were concentrated in eighteen groupings, each unique in appearance and each constructed during a different age. While Alderaan's human inhabitants chose to leave the Castle Lands intact, many artists often traveled there to seek creative inspiration. In other areas of the planet, some particularly clear, deep lakes were used as aquatic preserves where tourists could observe underwater mud castles built by crustacean colonies. The low-grade, blue quella gem is found only on Alderaan and Delaya. Out of their respect for life, the Alderaanian colonists refused to build their cities in the grasses of the fields. Instead, organic-looking cities and industries were built into the sides of deep cracks in the surface, on top of sandstone hills, under the polar ice, or on stilts in the planet's shallow seas. Terrarium City, also known as the City Under Glass, was built by first excavating an enormous bowl and filling it with a liquid polymer. The polymer was then shaped and hardened with lasers according to an intricate, pre-programmed city layout. When all eighteen levels of Terrarium City were completed, the bowl was capped with a transparent sheet and needlelike towers were extended above, so its residents could travel up to view the countryside. Crevasse City was built directly into the walls of a canyon network, and was nearly invisible from the air. Aldera, the capital city of Alderaan, was located on an island in the center of a circular lake. It was home to the famous Alderaan University, established generations ago by the great philosopher Collus. The university was one of the most prestigious learning institutions in the galaxy, and had recently been a center for dissent against Palpatine's New Order. The airy, organic architecture used everywhere on Alderaan inspired many imitators; Bespin's Cloud City, for instance, incorporates many elements of Alderaanian design. Millennia ago, the first human colonists came to Alderaan and discovered the remnants of the lost Killik civilization. The early colonists included miners, but most were retired businessmen or wealthy dignitaries searching for a beautiful world on which to spend their lives. Four thousand years ago, the Jedi knights Ulic and Cay Qel-Droma were born on Alderaan into a great warrior family. Following the chaos of the Clone Wars, the Alderaanians made a radical decision-- vowing to never again have weapons or standing armies on their world. The planet became a model of peaceful coexistence, and the people were known for their pursuit of knowledge and art. The Alderaanian government became a democracy at some point in its past, yet retained a Royal House of Alderaan for its symbolic value. In 11/70, Pre-Empire date, the Jedi Jorus C'baoth helped to resolve the Alderaan ascendancy contention, ruling in favor of Bail Organa's family line. The Organa royal family lived in Aldera, and included Senator Leia Organa, her adoptive father Senator Bail Organa (Viceroy and First Chairman of the Alderaan system), and her adoptive mother (Minister of Education). Other members of House Organa included Leia's aunts Celly, Tia, and Rouge, and her cousin Nial. Daughters of Alderaanian nobility were schooled at the Alderaan Select Academy for Young Ladies, then typically presented to the Emperor's Court on Coruscant to win a suitable marriage partner. Bail Organa was one of the original founders of the Rebel Alliance, making Alderaan a center for opposition and dissent and arousing the attention of the Empire. Alderaan is now famous as the planet utterly destroyed by the first Death Star as an example of Imperial power-- a scattered asteroid field is now all that remains of the once-lovely world. After the planet's destruction, the Empire initially claimed that Alderaan had torn itself apart due to the explosion of several secret underground superweapons. When actual footage of the Death Star's action (recorded by a satellite orbiting Delaya) was released to the media, the Empire admitted responsibility, but claimed it was necessary to prevent Bail Organa from completing a deadly biowar virus program. The surviving Alderaanians who were offworld at the time were invited by Emperor Palpatine to relocate to his private resort world of Byss. A hydroponics facility on the planet Borleias, producing Alderaanian foodstuffs, became extremely profitable after the destruction of the world increased demand for now-scarce Alderaanian goods. Besides the Organa family, other notable Alderaanians include Rogue Squadron member Tycho Celchu and the famous poet Hari Seldona. [SW, SWR, ROJN, JS, COPL, MTS, DLOS, COTJ, YJK, GG2, CSSB, FP, ISWU, XWRS, SWAJ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Alzoc III, located in the Alzoc system in the Outer Rim, is the home planet of the alien species known as the Talz, and is the source of Alzoc pearl. The moonless planet is covered with desolate, frozen plains and its powerful sunlight glares harshly off the reflective snow. The Empire garrisoned Alzoc III in a secret operation and forced the Talz to work as slaves in underground mines. The planet was never entered into the galactic registry, and the New Republic only learned of its existence through examining restricted corporate files. Imperial Commander Pter Thanas was assigned to the rim world of Bakura after refusing to destroy a village of Talz miners on Alzoc III. The Imperial battlemoon Eye of Palpatine stopped at the frozen planet to pick up a contingent of stormtroopers, but brought in a group of Talz instead. [TAB, GG4, COTJ]

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

A cold planet with a short rotation located in the Corporate Sector, Ammuud is ruled by seven major clans operating under Corporate Sector Authority subcontract. The seven clans (the Glayyd, Reesbon, Tikeris, Owphrin, Melchett, Almowri, and the Odoon) are ruled by patriarchs called "Mors" and governed by a set of formal rules known as the Code of Ammuud. Ammuud's main spaceport is a well-defended structure built adjacent to a snow-capped mountain range. People of all types inhabit the surrounding city, which is composed of wood and stone buildings, slums, and open gutters. Animal life on Ammuud includes herds of grazers, flying pterosaurs, and crustaceans in the mountains' icy lakes. Ammuud was first colonized over 10,000 years ago by settlers from Thokos, and each of the seven original colony ships formed the basis of Ammuud's seven clans. The colonists were eventually forgotten by their homeworld, and the clans evolved into quarreling nation-states, continually testing each other in an endless series of savage battles. One hundred years ago the clans called a truce, and formed the Code of Ammuud to govern their future conduct. During one of his early adventures, Han Solo visited the mountain stronghold of the Mor Glayyd to collect money due him, and encountered the infamous gunman Gallandro. Six years after the Battle of Endor, reeling from the destruction of their command base on Nespis VIII, the New Republic scattered its command ships and fighter units across the galaxy. One of them, the fleet transport Vindicator carrying Luke Skywalker and his Jedi trainees, was stationed out beyond Ammuud. [HSR, CSSB, EE]

Amorris, in the system of the same name, was the planet to which Lando Calrissian sent ship thief Niles Ferrier after persuading him not to steal any ships from Sluis Van. Calrissian told Ferrier that the Cavrilhu pirate gang was using Amorris as a base. [DFR]

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

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

A watery, terrestrial planet with very few solid land masses, Ando is the homeworld of the belligerent, walrus-faced Aqualish. The prestigious Aquala ("finned" Aqualish) prefer to live on floating raft cities and large sailing ships, while the low-status Quara ("fingered" Aqualish) inhabit the larger islands of Ando. Ando has a sister planet in the same system, but its blasted, uninhabitable surface implies it was the site of an Aqualish war soon after the species discovered space travel. The technological society of the Aqualish is helping to create viable galactic exports, primarily foodstuffs from Ando's seas. The planet has been closely watched by the Empire for any sign of insurrection. The Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth was a member of the Ando Demilitarization Observation Group from 8/82- 7/81, Pre-Empire date. Following his departure from Tatooine, the infamous criminal Dr. Evazan was sheltered on Ando in a well-guarded castle on a rocky isle. Ando was also targeted by the Bellicose in a multi-pronged attack by Grand Admiral Thrawn intended to draw New Republic forces away from Ukio. [DFR, TLC, GG4, TFTC]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A water world which, according to charts, has no land masses at all. Aquaris is home to Silver Fyre's organization of former pirates and mercenaries, who call themselves Freeholders. The Freeholders inhabit an expansive underwater base accessible through a retractable surface landing platform, and pilot submersible aqua-skimmers when hunting the planet's local marine life. Among the many dangerous aquatic creatures in Aquaris' oceans is the enormous demonsquid. During Han Solo and Chewbacca's early adventuring, they had a valuable cargo of spice stolen from them by Fyre's pirates. Following the Battle of Yavin, Fyre and her Freeholders joined the Alliance during a conference with Princess Leia on Kabal. The Princess and her companions visited Aquaris after leaving Kabal, and were betrayed by Kraaken, Fyre's deputy commander. [CSW]

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

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

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

The smuggler Reina Gale and her companion Rollos ran a disastrous deal on Arcura, where an entire battalion of Imperial walkers arrived to stop them. [SWAJ]

The white dwarf star orbited by Varl, the original homeworld of the Hutts. According to Hutt legend, Ardos was once a double star with Evona until Evona was drawn into a black hole. [GG4]

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

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

A backwater desert world home to the short, lizardlike aliens called Chubbits, who cross the planet's sandy terrain in "wind-runners"-- wheeled vehicles with large sails. Animal life on Aridus includes large lizard creatures, which can be tamed and used as mounts. The natural interference of Aridus' atmosphere makes all long-range communications impossible, and the Empire (after taking control of the planet) built an immense Iron Tower to overcome this interference. The completely automated tower acted both as a signal amplifier and power transformer, allowing unrestricted communications and supplying the energy needed to run Imperial hover trains. Hazardous lava pits were located in the mining region immediately surrounding the Iron Tower. Unfortunately, the powerful signals emanating from the tower had a harmful effect on the local Chubbits, crippling their nervous systems and eventually killing many. The Chubbits resisted the Imperial takeover of their homeworld, and were supplied with weapons for their fight by the Alliance. Following the Battle of Yavin, Darth Vader set a trap for Luke Skywalker by making it appear that Ben Kenobi had returned from the dead and was working with the resistance on Aridus. The false Kenobi was actually a trained actor, altered by Imperial surgeons to resemble the dead Jedi. Skywalker managed to escape the trap, which also resulted in the partial destruction of the Iron Tower. [CSW]

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

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

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

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

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

Located in the Outer Rim, the Atrivis sector contains the Mantooine and Fest systems and the planet Generis. During the early formation of the Rebel Alliance, Mon Mothma helped unite various insurgent organizations, including the Atrivis Resistance Groups. Five years after the Battle of Endor, New Republic pilot Pash Cracken was stationed in the Atrivis sector and helped defend (unsuccessfully) the Outer Rim comm center against an Imperial attack. [TLC, DESB, FP] Auril systems A distant group of six star systems (including the Adega system) in the Auril sector, which also encompasses the Cron Drift. Originally there were nine Auril systems, though three systems were destroyed during the Great Sith War as the Cron Cluster ignited in a multiple supernova. The space city Nespis VIII is located at the node of the Auril systems. [DE2, TSW]

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

Averam was the location of a local Rebel Alliance cell, where Leia Organa's aide Winter worked for a few weeks under the code name "Targeter." Imperial Intelligence cracked the cell soon afterwards. The natives of Averam are called Averists. [TLC]

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

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

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

Bakura is a rich, green and blue planet with several moons located on the isolated edge of the Rim Worlds. The eight planets in the Bakura system include one gas giant and Planet Six, an ammonia ice-covered ball. Bakura receives a great deal of rainfall. The capital city of Salis D'aar sits at the base of a mountain range, on a white quartz delta between two parallel rivers. Bakura's exports include strategic metals, repulsorlift components, and an addictive fruit called namana, which is made into candies and nectar. Bakura was settled by the Bakur mining corporation during the end of the Clone Wars, though at least one building on the planet is over 100 years old. The planet's inhabitants tend to be prejudiced against non-human species, though some pale, hairless Kurtzen inhabit the Kishh district. The Bakurans especially dislike droids, since the first wave of Bakuran colonists were nearly wiped out by malfunctioning droids. The Bakur complex in Salis D'aar is a large city-center containing residential, medical, and Imperial office areas, and the old Bakur Memorial Building overlooking Statuary Park. Animal life on Bakura includes the butter newt and the predatory Bakuran Cratsch, and its plants include pokkta leaves, namana trees, and passion-bud vines. Bakura was once run by a prime minister and a senate-- the descendants of the Bakur Corporation's original ship's captain served as prime minister, and senators were appointed by their colleagues instead of elected by the public. The constant governmental bickering allowed the planet to fall easily to the Empire three years prior to the Battle of Endor. Two Star Destroyers neutralized Bakuran resistance, and Captain Alecs Brellar served as the temporary Imperial governor until Wilek Nereus could arrive. Nereus allowed the Bakuran senate to remain in place under his control, and built a planetary garrison (featuring older, outdated defenses) which was placed under the command of Pter Thanas. Immediately following the Battle of Endor, Alliance and Imperial forces briefly joined together at Bakura to thwart an invasion by the Ssi-ruuk Imperium. After the subsequent overthrow of Imperial forces, Prime Minister Yeorg Captison took over the leadership of Bakura. Several years later, Yeorg's niece Gaeriel Captison was elected Prime Minister, but was defeated in a succeeding election. The planet retained a powerful defensive fleet to guard against any further Ssi-ruuk attacks, and Bakuran techs designed the ships to escape from interdiction fields. Luke Skywalker returned to Bakura, fourteen years after the truce, to borrow this fleet for a mission in the Corellian system. Half of the Bakuran cruisers were destroyed in the successful mission, and Gaeriel Captison was killed. [TAB, AAS, SAC, SWAJ]

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

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

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

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

Barab I is inhabited by the Barabel. It is a dark, humid world in close orbit around the red dwarf Barab. Barab I has a sixty-hour rotation, and is bathed in ultraviolet, gamma, and infrared radiation due to its proximity to its sun. During the day standing water evaporates, making the surface very humid and hazy. During the cool night, the only time Barab I's animal life is active, this haze condenses and falls to the surface as rain. The Barabel, whose bodies are covered with plates of black keratin, live in underground caverns and are known for their excellent hunting skills. Many years ago a band of Jedi helped resolve a Barabel dispute over access to choice hunting grounds, leaving the Barabel with a deep respect for all Jedi. Some of the later visitors to Barab I were big-game hunters who actively hunted the Barabel, though now visiting hunters track other prey and instead use Barabel as porters and guides. A spaceport, Alater-ka, was constructed after the Empire took control of Barab I. Several years after the Battle of Endor, the Barabel nearly went to war with the Verpine after the Verpine defaulted on a ship-building contract. [GG4, DFR, COPL]

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

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

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

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

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

Located in the Ninth Quadrant near the Senex sector, Belsavis (an independent ally of the New Republic) is a world of volcanic rift valleys separated by miles of icy glaciers. The inhabited, steam-filled rifts are heated by the planet's core, which feeds mud pots and hot springs on the surface. The cities within the rifts, some of them covered by light-amplification domes, include Wutz, Bot-Un, Mithipsin, and Plawal (formerly called Pletwell). The enormous rift-covering domes, buoyed by antigrav units in their apices, support a vast network of hanging gardens and moveable growing beds. The vine-coffee and vine-silk grown in these beds account for thirty percent of Belsavis' total economy and require a temperature shift of thirty degrees or more. The domes also protect against the periodic cold storms that formerly swept into the rifts from the surrounding glaciers. The gangly, short-lived Mluki species are representatives of Belsavis' original population. The rift valleys were largely jungle until the Brathflen Corporation, Galactic Exotics, and Imperial Exports arrived and began cultivating cash crops such as vine-coffee and vine-silk in the hanging beds, shalaman and podon orchards, brandifert, lipana, bowvine fruit, and slochan. The quiet, humid community of Plawal lies between steep cliffs of red-black rock and is run by Jevax, a Mluki who is Chief Person of Plawal. Rock "benches" leading up to the cliff walls provide a narrow foundation for homes and orchards. Most buildings are constructed from prefabricated units, and crammed together on small lots due to the rift's enclosed area. Residences in the old city were constructed directly over warm springs. A thick, sulfur-smelling mist permeates the valley, and can restrict visibility to just a few meters. Plawal's main docking silos are connected by tunnels to the Port Offices and to the rest of the city, including the canneries, the Brathflen Medcenter, Old Orchard Street, the seven main silk-packing plants, the MuniCenter, an import/export business on Pandowirtin Lane, and the Bubbling Mud cafe off Brandifert Court. Madame Lota's House of Flowers (a brothel) and seedy bars such as the Smoking Jets and the Jungle Lust line Spaceport Row. A house on Painted Door Street opens onto Plawal's vast network of subterranean crypts. These crypts, which contain xylen chips and gold wiring from the abandoned laboratories of Jedi Master Plett, were guarded by forgotten, mind-controlled smugglers under the Force influence of Irek Ismaren. Flora in the Plawal rift includes starblossoms, sweetberry vines, aphor trees, orchids, hanging moss, spider plants, shalaman trees, ferns, and Wookiee-beard. Fauna includes mooklas, salamanders, phosphor bugs, frogs, pittins, pellata birds, manolliums (brought from Ithor), watch-critters, and the insectile kretch that infest Plawal's tunnels. The storm-lashed, ionized atmosphere of Belsavis makes sensor probes and ship landings extremely difficult. Only one spot, called the Corridor, in the planet's southern hemisphere is atmospherically stable each day-- smugglers making the "Belsavis Run" come in at the Corridor and skim the ice to one of the unofficial landing pads on the glaciers. Almost one hundred years ago, the Jedi master Plett built a house and laboratory in the Plawal rift that served as a safe haven for the Jedi and their families. Eighteen years before the Battle of Yavin, the Emperor commissioned the battlemoon Eye of Palpatine to wipe out the Jedi enclave but the ship never arrived. The Emperor's small backup force of interceptors bombed Plawal but were wiped out by Belsavis' Y-wings, and the Jedi departed for places unknown-- after erasing all knowledge of their presence from the inhabitants of the city. After their departure, Brathflen, Galactic, and Imperial/Republic arrived to dome the valley and cultivate vine-coffee and silk. Nubblyk the Slyte began blasting landing pads on the glaciers around this time, and the smuggling trade began in earnest. A small force of tariff police left by the region's Imperial Governor were little use against the smugglers. Brathflen built the first of the light-amplification domes over Plawal (based on Plett's original design) before the Battle of Yavin, and the three companies teamed with Kuat to install a central computer system. About a year after the Battle of Endor, the Slyte disappeared and was replaced by his associate Bran Kemple, which caused the Belsavian smuggling industry to dry up. In the same year, Roganda Ismaren (one of the Emperor's Hands) came to Plawal. Han and Leia Organa Solo visited Belsavis eight years after the Battle of Endor and uncovered a plot by Roganda Ismaren to forge a military alliance with the Senex Lords. [COTJ, TFJP]

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

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

A former tourist destination in the Berchest system, Berchest is home to the Calius saj Leeloo-- the City of Glowing Crystal. The city is carved entirely from one massive crystal, created over the years from the red- orange salt deposits of the adjacent Leefari Sea. An icy river flows through Calius to the sea's edge, where the upper-class regions of the city are located. Only a few streets in the city (such as Mavrille Street) were constructed wide enough for vehicular traffic, so traffic on them tends to be heavy. Planetary Governor Staffa and his aide Fingal govern Berchest from Staffa's office in Central Government Tower Number One. The tourism industry that surrounded Calius dried up following the Clone Wars and the birth of the Empire, and Berchest has since tried to reposition itself as a major trade center by using the established trade routes left over from tourism. Berchest was in Imperial territory during the reign of Grand Admiral Thrawn, and Thrawn led the New Republic to believe that Calius was a transfer point for the trafficking of his clone soldiers. Luke Skywalker encountered the smuggler Talon Karrde on Berchest while investigating this lead. [TLC]

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

Located in the isolated Ison Corridor, the Bespin system contains three planets (Miser, Orin, and Bespin) and the asteroid belt Velser's Ring, all of which orbit the star also called Bespin. The system is rich in natural resources, including tibanna gas and valuable metals. [GG2]

Bespin, the outermost planet in the system of the same name, is a large gas giant approximately 118,000 kilometers in diameter which rotates every twelve hours. Bespin has many moons, though only H'gaard and Drudonna (known as The Twins) are large enough to command attention. The planet's solid metal core is surrounded by a thick layer of liquid-metal rethen, which is in turn surrounded by a layer of liquid rethen. Above the rethen is Bespin's colorful cloud layer, which only extends 1000 kilometers into the heart of the planet. The "Life Zone," in which humans and Bespin's native animals can survive, is a thirty kilometer- deep band located within the cloud layer. Plant life in Bespin's Life Zone is exclusively made of vast colonies of floating algae, such as the numerous pinks and the phosphorescent glowers. Animal life includes predatory velkers, batlike rawwks, and the kilometers-wide, jellyfish-like grazers called beldons. The clouds are also home small herd of saillike Alderaanian thrantas, which are the only surviving members of their species after Alderaan's recent destruction. Naturally-occurring tibanna gas is a useful hyperdrive coolant which can be found in Bespin's upper layers of clouds. Spin-sealed tibanna gas, however, is an extremely rare element used in boosting blaster firepower, and this gas can be found in abundance in the lowest levels of the gas giant's atmosphere. Many years ago, Lord Ecclessis Figg constructed the first floating settlement on Bespin near the planet's equator-- the Floating Home. At the time, it was the only outpost built on a gas giant to last more than a decade. Ten years after its founding, expansion began which would eventually turn the outpost into the vast metropolis of Cloud City. The construction materials for this expansion were mined from Miser, the innermost planet of the Bespin system. Cloud City is over sixteen kilometers in diameter and houses almost five and a half million inhabitants. The highest levels house casinos and nightclubs, while the lowest generally house factories and production plants. The seedy, corrupt environs of Port Town are found on the middle levels. Hotels in the upper plaza include the Yerith Bespin, the Stratosphere, and the Holiday Towers (formerly owned by Jabba the Hutt). Some of the many casinos include the Royal, the Pair O'Dice, and the Trest. Besides gambling, the many diversions for this level's wealthy tourists include watching the monthly "sky rodeo" performed by the thranta herd and its alien riders, or boarding a floating health spa to breathe cloud vapor (which is rumored to have therapeutic value). Due to Bespin's rapid rotation, visitors can enjoy two sunrises and sunsets every "standard" day. The three branches of Cloud City's government are the Exex group of business administrators, the Parliament of Guilds, and the single Baron-Administrator. The massive repulsorlift generators keeping the city afloat also draw spin-sealed tibanna gas from the lowest levels of the planet's atmosphere. The gas is sent into the city's refineries, where it is pressurized, purified, and frozen into carbonite blocks for storage and sale. Ostensibly, Figg & Associates, Ltd. manufactures tibanna gas for use as a hyperdrive coolant-- in reality, the company sells spin-sealed gas to weapons manufacturers not affiliated with the Empire. The city is small enough to avoid the official notice of the Mining Guild, but an annual payment was typically made to Guild leaders to keep them from organizing Cloud City's workers. Though the city's primary industry is tibanna gas production, other profitable Cloud City companies include Bespin Motors. Before the destruction of Alderaan, Bespin participated in a lucrative trade triangle with the Alderaan and Corellian systems, and Cloud City still receives much of its shipping from the nearby Corellian Trade Spine. Most of the city's industrial work is handled by a large population of Ugnaughts (originally from nearby Gentes) belonging to the Irden, Botrut, and Isced tribes. The Storm Guard weather watch keeps an eye on Bespin's atmosphere from Kerros' Tower (the highest point on Cloud City), and security is handled by the city's Wing Guard. A hollow wind tunnel runs through the center of the city. Another floating city, Tibannopolis, was once a prosperous boomtown but is now an abandoned ghost town, picked clean of valuables and drifting at an angle due to its malfunctioning repulsors. Many other refineries, waystations, and resorts drift through Bespin's sky, including independent prospectors searching for elusive tibanna gas strikes. Years ago the Jedi Master Djinn Altis instructed his students, including Geith and Callista, from a Jedi training platform hidden in Bespin's clouds. The smuggler Lando Calrissian managed to become Baron- Administrator of Cloud City after winning the rights from Baron Raynor in a sabacc game. During his tenure Calrissian made the droid EV-9D9 his security chief, and the psychotic robot destroyed one quarter of Cloud City's droid population before being discovered and escaping aboard the hijacked Mining Guild cutter "Iopene Princess." Calrissian also established a new group of Commando-pilots to be used for Cloud City's defense. Later, the city was used by Darth Vader in a vain attempt to trap Luke Skywalker. Calrissian helped his friends escape Vader's ambush, and the city was subsequently seized by the Empire. Rogue Squadron pilot Rhysati Ynr, a native of Bespin, was forced to flee Cloud City with her family when Imperial forces arrived. Six years later, the Imperial garrison at Bespin was used by Grand Admiral Thrawn in his war effort against the New Republic. Two years later, Luke Skywalker returned to Bespin to recruit Streen, an independent prospector who used the Force to sense gaseous eruptions from the lower cloud levels, into his new Jedi Academy. One year later, one of the false charges filed against Cray Mingla by the Eye of Palpatine's central computer concerned retina prints and holograms provided by the government of Bespin.

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

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

A swamp world that was scouted for possible colonization by Wetyin's Colony. When a sentient species was found on the planet, Betshish was removed from consideration. [GG2]

Located deep within the Velcar Free Commerce Zone in the Pentastar Alignment, the Bextar system consists of four gas giants orbiting a pale yellow sun. A thriving gas-mining operation, run by the Amber Sun Mining Corporate, lies scattered across the planets' many moons. The operation's labor force consists primarily of alien Entymals, who have green exoskeletons and gliding membranes and make excellent pilots. The Entymals were brought to the Bextar system from their homeworld, and many dream of leaving the oppressive labor conditions of Bextar and gaining their freedom. [SWAJ]

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

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

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

The pirate Roark Slader once delivered a cargo of plexite ore to a group of rogue starship fitters in the Black Nebula. [SWAJ]

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

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

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

An industrialized, heavily-populated factory world in the system of the same name, Bonadan is one of the busiest ports in the Corporate Sector. The constant air traffic is regulated by the highly-advanced systems of Traffic Control. Its yellow, parched surface is highly eroded, and its topsoil has been destroyed due to countless drilling and construction projects. The remaining surface is covered with factories, refineries, docks, and shipbuilding facilities located in ten spaceports, the largest of which is Bonadan Spaceport Southeast II. This sprawling city, composed of low permacite buildings on fusion-formed soil, contains an Espo command post, an Authority Merchant Marine academy, the Landing Zone bar, the Alien Quarter, and the luxurious Imperial hotel. Mountains are located northwest of the city along with a massive weather- control station. Weapons are banned on Bonadan, and being caught with one by the omnipresent weapons detectors is grounds for immediate arrest. The planet is home to the popular Bonadan Blasters shockball team, which is heavily merchandised by the Corporate Sector Authority. The modified protocol droid C-3PX managed to assassinate the brother of Vojak on Bonadan by using concealed, internal weaponry. Han Solo was involved in a high-speed swoop chase during an early visit to Bonadan. The smuggler Shug Ninx rescued a mile-long shaft for a Death Star prototype from a Bonadan industrial junkyard, then had it installed as an entrance to his repair facility on Nar Shaddaa. Six years after the Battle of Endor, a faulty timer manufactured on Bonadan resulted in the failure of a Galaxy Gun projectile to explode, which gave the New Republic high command enough time to evacuate their base in Nespis VIII. [HSR, DE, D, CSSB, EE]

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

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

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

A large, honeycombed asteroid home to a seedy spaceport and disreputable trade center. The Borgo Prime asteroid was gradually hollowed out over the years by various mining operations, which ended when the last valuable ores were extracted more than a century ago. The asteroid's tunnels and excavations are now filled with space docks, prefabricated buildings, and gaudily-lit storefronts. The business district is located in the asteroid's core. Shanko's Hive, a tavern owned by an insectoid barkeep, is a cone-shaped structure rising a quarter-kilometer from the inner floor. It is protected by its own atmosphere field, and is decorated with burning candles, incense, and flaming bog-pits. Lando Calrissian's Corusca gem broker was located on Borgo Prime, and Luke Skywalker and Tenel Ka contacted the broker in an attempt to learn who had purchased his latest shipment. [YJK]

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

The fourth planet in the Pyria system, Borleias is a steamy, blue-green world with a single dark moon, which gives the system its Alliance codename of Blackmoon. The only inhabited world in the system, Borleias lacks most valuable natural resources and passes through a dense meteor shower once each year. The density of Borleias' sector of space means that there are only a limited number of hyperspace routes to and from the world, but it still sits at a favorable hyperspace crossroads. The planet's barren moon has a thin atmosphere and is covered with silent craters, frozen lava tubes, and canyons of black volcanic rock. The Old Republic first established a small base on Borleias for the purpose of plotting runs to the Corporate Sector and elsewhere. The Alderaan Biotics hydroponics facility, a producer of Alderaanian foodstuffs, was also built on Borleias' far side, but over the years it was abandoned and left to the care of maintenance droids. The Empire eventually took control of the Republic base, adding shields, ion cannons, and TIE squadrons for its defense. The installation's commander, General Evir Derricote, also discovered the forgotten Biotics facility and made it profitable once more, while secretly siphoning Imperial credits and resources to make his headquarters more powerful and secure than it would otherwise appear to be. Because of the Pyria system's close proximity to the galactic core, the Rebel Alliance chose to capture Borleias and make it their key to hitting Coruscant, some three years after the Battle of Endor. During their first attack, however, the Alliance greatly underestimated the defensive strength of the Blackmoon installation and were soundly defeated. On the return mission, Rogue Squadron pilots torpedoed a power conduit at the end of a rift valley to help bring down the base's shields, while a commando team captured the facility from the ground. This attack was a success, and Borleias became the new operations and staging base for Rogue Squadron. [XWRS]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Calamari (sometimes called Mons Calamari) is a tectonically stable world almost entirely covered with water, and is home to both the peaceful Mon Calamari and the cautious Quarren-- over 27 billion inhabitants in all. The surface of the planet is covered with small marshy islands and enormous floating cities that house both species, with the Quarren inhabiting the lowest, darkest levels. These attractive constructions include Reef Home, Coral Depths, Kee-Piru, Coral City, Heurkea, and Foamwander City. The architecture and design of the Mon Calamari have organic appearances, with rounded edges and irregular surfaces that show their love for the natural beauty of their world. Raw ores used in construction are mined by the Quarren (who can breathe both air and water) from domed cities on the ocean floor. A permanent history of every event on Calamari is maintained by a community of meter-long, bivalve mollusks, who are extremely intelligent and will communicate their knowledge with those who ask. The Calamarian seas are also home to the dangerous predators known as krakanas-- sharklike animals with twin pincer tentacles. The rare ultima-pearl can be found in Calamari's seabeds. The Mon Calamari had already constructed enormous starships and begun traveling space when their planet was discovered by the Empire. The Imperials planned to enslave Calamari and, after meeting with resistance from its natives, destroyed three of its floating cities. A Quarren, Seggor Tels, is believed to have deliberately lowered Calamari's defenses to allow the Empire's attack; this has heightened tensions between the Mon Calamari and the Quarren ever since. After the Empire showed its true colors, Calamarian starships were converted into warships and the shipbuilding docks in orbit around Calamari and its single moon became an important resource for the Alliance. Many Calamarians were taken as slaves by the Empire including the famous Ackbar, who was forced to be the personal servant of Grand Moff Tarkin. Ackbar was later rescued from slavery by an Alliance force and named Admiral of the Rebel fleet. Six years after the Battle of Endor, the reborn Emperor used his World Devastators to attack Calamari's southern territorial zone, destroying most of the cities Kee-Piru and Heurkea. The port city of Hikahi was also damaged, harming the planet's starship-building capability. One year after that, Leia Organa Solo visited Admiral Ackbar at his home in the seatree forest in an attempt to bring him out of his self-imposed exile. A subsequent attack by Admiral Daala's Star Destroyers resulted in the destruction of Reef Home City. In ancient times Calamari was home to a now-extinct, ten-legged crustacean known as the mammoth krabbex. [DE, GG4, SWS, DA, AAS, DESB, DS, FP, TFJP, YJK]

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

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

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

One of several planets in the Carida system, Carida was once a large, high-gravity world with a wide variety of terrain. The native Caridans were humanoid aliens with thin limbs and heavy barrel chests. Carida was the location of the most important Imperial military training center, which contained a main citadel building surrounded by a towering wall. The planet's varied surface consisted of rocky mountains, frozen ice fields and arctic wastes, jungles filled with carnivorous plants, and arid deserts (including the Forgofshar Desert) that were home to poisonous, multilegged reptiles. Stormtrooper candidates underwent harsh training in these environments to prepare themselves for action on a variety of worlds. Caridan combat arachnids were crimson, twelve-legged creatures covered with spines, that communicated on a hypersonic level. They were bred for their fighting abilities as well as their valuable, diamond-hard chitinous exoskeletons. Admiral Daala attended the Caridan academy before her appointment to Tarkin's staff. After the annihilation of Alderaan, several of the Death Star's designers were transferred from the battle station to Carida. Ambassador Furgan was the Caridan representative to the New Republic and oversaw the development of the MT-AT "spider walker," and Admiral Ackbar's aide Terpfen underwent torture and reconditioning on the planet in the hopes that he would serve as an Imperial puppet. Carida was utterly destroyed when Kyp Durron caused its star to go nova through the use of the Sun Crusher. [JS, DA, COTF, COTJ, TFTC, TFJP]

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

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

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

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

Celanon, in the system of the same name in the Outer Rim, is said to have a "multicolored skyline" due to its numerous holographic advertising boards. Celanon's two main industries are agriculture and the commerce that flows into Celanon City. The planet's spaceport is well-defended and very busy. The Celanon system is also home to the mammoth consortium known as Pravaat, which manufactures and sells uniforms to interested parties. Prior to the Battle of Yavin, an explosive device was loaded onto an Imperial freighter at Celanon. The device was later stolen by the Alliance and used to demolish the Star Destroyer Invincible. [COTJ, CSSB, FP]

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

An enormous grey-white space station in the Corellian system, located at the balance point between the twin worlds of Talus and Tralus. Centerpoint presumably draws its power from the gravitational interflux between the Double Worlds. The ancient station, built before the invention of artificial grav, spins on its axis to provide centrifugal gravity. It is composed of a central sphere one hundred kilometers in diameter, with long, thick cylinders jutting from either side of the globe. The ends of the cylinders are referred to as the North and South Poles. The entire station is approximately three hundred fifty kilometers in length, even larger than the infamous Death Star. Centerpoint's simulated gravity becomes stronger the farther "down" one travels in the sphere, away from the axis of rotation. Several studies have been made on shifting the station over to artificial grav, but they have been abandoned due to expense and unknown side- effects. Centerpoint is completely covered with a bewildering array of piping, cables, antennae, cone structures and access ports; it would take several lifetimes to explore the vast and complex interior and exterior of the station. Hollowtown is the name given to the open sphere in the exact center of the station, which measures sixty kilometers in diameter. The walls of Hollowtown have long been colonized with homes, parks, lakes, orchards, and farmland, which received heat and light from the Glowpoint-- an artificial sun suspended in the exact center of the sphere. To simulate night, farmers installed adjustable shadow-shields, which appeared as bright patches of gold or silver from above. On both sides of the Hollowtown sphere, positioned along the spin axis, is a large cone ringed by six smaller cones; the sets are called the North and South Conical Mountains. Surrounding Hollowtown, and making up the remainder of the central sphere, are two thousand levels of decks and "shells" (decks which measure twenty meters high or more), with Shell One lying closest to Hollowtown. Centerpoint is believed to be a hyperspace repulsor, used in ancient times to transport the five Corellian planets into their current orbits from an unknown location. At some point the station was colonized, and Hollowtown-- which is actually a power-containment battery for the massive energy of firing a tractor- repulsor hyperspace burst-- became inhabited. Centerpoint remained stable for thousands of years, until the Saccorian Triad discovered that the station could destroy stars with a precise hyperspace shot from its South Pole. Two stars were targeted and destroyed, each accompanied by intense flareups in the Glowpoint. The small sun increased in heat so rapidly that Hollowtown and most of its inhabitants were completely incinerated during the first such incident. The Fed-Dub government immediately evacuated the remaining Centerpoint inhabitants to the Double Worlds, leaving Chief Operations Officer Jenica Sonsen in charge of the station. When word spread of the Hollowtown disaster it sparked several rebellions on Talus and Tralus. A group of starfighters representing one of the rebellions claimed the nearly-abandoned station for themselves, until chased off by a Bakuran cruiser. The massive interdiction and jamming fields, thrown over the entire Corellian system, were also generated from Centerpoint and activated by the Triad. The Triad's fleet was later defeated by New Republic and Bakuran forces, and the planned destruction of Bovo Yagen was averted at the last instant when a shot from the repulsor on Drall disrupted Centerpoint's firing process. [AAC, AAS, SAC]

Chad (also called Chadra), a watery world orbiting the blue-white star of the same name, is the fourth planet in its system and the homeworld of the sociable, rodent-like Chadra-Fan. Chad's nine moons create a pulsing system of tides, and clans of Chadra-Fan inhabit the bayous among the red gum-tree forests and cyperill trees. The Chadra-Fan do not bother to construct permanent structures due to the unpredictability of destructive hurricanes-- in fact, a "death wave" wiped out much of their civilization just ten years ago. Most Chadra-Fan machinery is powered by methane, and most technology is primitive by galactic standards. Despite this, many Chadra-Fan items are valued as exports due to the care and craftsmanship that went into their design. [GG4, TFTC]

An ocean world with several moons. Life in Chad III's deep oceans include the long-necked cetaceans called tsaelkes, hunters called wystohs, phosphorescent tubular eels, and the fish-lizards called cy'een. The Jedi knight Callista was originally from Chad III, and worked a deep-water ranch on an ark with her family, where they herded the semi-sentient wander-kelp. The ark followed the herds along Chad III's Algic Current, which runs between Chad's equator and its Arctic Circle. Callista was later called away to Bespin by the Jedi master Djinn Altis. [COTJ, DS]

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

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

Chandrila is located in the Bormea sector of the Core Worlds, along the Perlemian Trade Route. The agricultural planet's two main continents are covered with rolling, grassy plains. The inhabitants of Chandrila have a remarkably low birth rate, keeping the world's population of 1.2 billion in check, and tend to live in scattered, small communities instead of large metropolises. All citizens have a direct voice in government, and are known for vociferously arguing politics among each other. The planet is ruled by the democratic Chandrilan House, which is overseen by Imperial Governor Gerald Weizel. Weizel, a rather aloof leader appointed as a replacement for Grandon Holleck, rules from the Imperial base on the outskirts of Hanna, Chandrila's capital. Sights on the planet include the attractive Gladean State Parks, a wild game reserve near Hanna, Brionelle Memorial Military Academy, and a dacha owned by Alliance founder Mon Mothma on the shores of Lake Sah'Ot. The Chandrilans also keep elaborate gardens and many other symbols of natural beauty. Chandrila is famous as the homeworld of Mon Mothma, whose father was an arbiter-general of the Old Republic and mother a governor of Chandrila. Canna Omonda was named Chandrila's representative to the Imperial Senate after Mon Mothma's resignation from that office. When Senator Omonda criticized the Emperor for disbanding the Senate, Palpatine charged Omonda with treason and sent three Star Destroyers to Chandrila to seize her; her public execution was scheduled during Coruscant's Fete Week. Later, the Empire placed stiff agricultural tariffs on the Bormea sector which were clearly designed to hurt Chandrila, one of the largest agricultural exporters in the Core Worlds. Six months after the Battle of Endor, the Empire deployed seven Star Destroyers to Chandrila where they enforced a strict blockade of the planet. The reasons for this are unknown, but it is believed that Grand Vizier Sate Pestage may have implemented a plan to hold Chandrila hostage in case New Republic forces were able to threaten Coruscant. During the Emperor's reappearance six years after the Battle of Endor, Alliance historian Arhul Hextrophon traveled to Chandrila to recuperate from injuries received on Caprioril. Dev Sibwarra (the Ssi-ruuk's human liaison) was originally from Chandrila, though his family fled to G'rho during the Jedi purge. The Imperial stormtrooper Triv Pothman also lived on the planet, until his reassignment to Pzob to await the Eye of Palpatine. [TAB, SWS, COTJ, DESB, SWAJ]

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

Han Solo and Prince Isolder both worked as smugglers in the Chokan system years ago. Isolder continued to work there despite the rise of the Empire and a deadly plague in the area because he was seeing a woman in the system. [COPL]

Located in the Rachuk sector with the Hensara and Rachuk systems, the Chorax system contains a medium-sized star and a single planet, Chorax. The system is a hotbed for smuggling and piracy. Some three years after the Battle of Endor, Rogue Squadron was skirting the Chorax system on a hyperspace jump to the Morobe system when they were accidentally yanked from hyperspace by the Interdictor cruiser Black Asp. The Rogues rescued the cruiser's true target, the smuggling ship Pulsar Skate, and forced the Black Asp to flee the system. [XWRS]

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

The planet Churba, located in the Mid-Rim in the sector of the same name, is home to the corporate offices for Sencil Corp, a major manufacturer of black-market assassin droid components. Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, Imperial officials nationalized Sencil Corp along with several other droid corporations, giving them control of the Mid-Rim droid market. Churba is also the homeworld of Imperial Intelligence agent Kirtan Loor. [XWRS, SWAJ]

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

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

A formerly Imperially-held planet covered with mountains, jungles, and forests. Dozens of ancient native temples, predating the human settlements on Cilpar and nearly indestructible, can be found scattered throughout the forest. Animal life on Cilpar includes the dangerous carnivores called ronks, which are attracted to light and highly allergic to oratay. Male ronks are considered a delicacy on Cilpar, though females are instantly fatal if eaten. Other foodstuffs sold on-planet include mundis and thrashed puerco. Cilpar's local Moff was Boren Tascl, and its planetary ruler was Governor Norquest. The pair had a palace stronghold in the main city of Kiidan, and seemed prepared to turn Imperial facilities over to the Alliance following the death of the Emperor. Instead, Moff Tascl rejected the deal and wiped out two suburbs of a Cilpari city, including the neighborhood of Tamarack. Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron arrived on Cilpar after the Battle of Endor and set up a base in the mountains, west of Kiidan. They were to pick up food and supplies from the Cilpari resistance and escort the convoy to Mrisst, but instead they ran into a waiting TIE fighter ambush. Wedge's contact with the Cilpari underground was a mysterious woman known only as Targeter, later revealed as Princess Leia's assistant Winter. Elscol Loro, leader of the Cilpari resistance, represented the legitimate local government of the planet; her husband Throm had been killed years before fighting Moff Tascl's forces at the Battle of the Cliffs. After a long battle, Moff Tascl and Governor Norquest were overthrown by the resistance, as the expected Imperial reinforcements decided to abandon the duo. [XW]

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

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

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

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

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

A mysterious, mist-shrouded swamp planet in the Dagobah system and the Sluis sector, Dagobah contains no cities or advanced technology yet teems with a wide variety of life. Some of this world's exotic lifeforms include giant swamp slugs, dragonsnakes, nightbats, carnivorous fungi, bioluminescent spotlight sloths, and butcherbugs, who spin their slicing wirewebs between adjacent gnarltrees. Colorful Jubba birds whistle a highly soothing song, which may be caused by a slight manipulation of the Force. The petrified gnarltree forests can be found throughout the swamp, and the trees have a unique life cycle-- at the appropriate time a knobby white "spider" will break off from its parent tree, roam the swamp hunting and feeding on animals, and eventually take root in a clear spot to grow into a new gnarltree. Other Dagobah plants include flower- fruits, mushrooms that explode if exposed to light, and prismatic vine-flowers that grow above the dense tree canopy, where reptilian flying creatures can also be seen hunting small scurrying rodents. The thick cloud layer surrounding the planet cannot be penetrated by standard sensors. Dagobah was home to the legendary Jedi Master Yoda, who instructed both Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker before his death before the Battle of Endor at the age of 900. During the fall of the Old Republic, an eight-man research team led by Halka Four-Den scouted Dagobah but was lost, presumably killed off by some of the planet's lethal lifeforms. Around twenty-five years before the Battle of Yavin, a Dark Jedi from Bpfassh created trouble throughout his sector before being stopped on Dagobah, presumably by Yoda. A dark cave near Yoda's home could be a vestige of this Dark Jedi's power, and it may have served to hide Yoda's presence during the Emperor's Jedi purge. Luke Skywalker returned to Dagobah five years after Yoda's death and discovered a ship's beckon call, that could have belonged to the Bpfasshi Dark Jedi. Skywalker returned three years later with the Jedi knight Callista, to help Callista regain her lost Force ability. [ESB, ESBN, ESBR, HTTE, DS, ISWU, SWAJ]

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

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

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

An olive, blue, and brown-colored planetwith no industrial settlements or advanced technology, Dantooine is far removed from most galactic traffic. Its surface is covered with empty steppes, savannas of lavender grasses, and spiky blba trees. The planet has two moons and abundant animal life, including herds of hairy beasts, simple balloonlike creatures, and mace flies. Primitive nomadic tribes move along the coasts, though their numbers are so few the planet is essentially uninhabited. Four thousand years ago, the Jedi Master Vodo-Siosk Baas established a training center among Dantooine's ruins, where he instructed Exar Kun and the Cathar warriors Crado and Sylvar. Millennia later, Dantooine served as the primary base for the Rebel Alliance. Rebel engineers originally built the base from temporary, self-erecting modules, and defended it with stolen weapons and an energy shield stolen from an Imperial correctional facility. As time passed, the Alliance grew more secure, fortifying their base and becoming increasingly careless with security. This ended, however, when Rebel soldiers discovered an Imperial tracking device hidden in a cargo shipment. Though the beacon had not betrayed their location, the Alliance had no way of knowing this. All personnel evacuated the Dantooine base in a single day, leaving behind only the permanent structures and some disabled vehicles. The Alliance fleet then hopped from system to system, until erecting their new headquarters base on Yavin 4. Later, when interrogated by Imperials aboard the Death Star, Leia Organa revealed the Dantooine base's location, knowing it had long since been deserted. Imperial scout ships were immediately dispatched to Dantooine; when they uncovered Leia's ruse, Grand Moff Tarkin ordered the Princess executed. Nine years later, during the New Republic's war against Grand Admiral Thrawn, Admiral Ackbar planned to visit Dantooine following his inspection of the Farrfin and Dolomar defenses. Two years after that, fifty colonists from Eol Sha were relocated on the planet, until they were utterly wiped out by a group of Admiral Daala's AT-AT walkers. New Republic commando Gil Crosear, who participated in the infiltration of an Imperial base on Sarahwiee, is a native of Dantooine. [SW, TLC, JS, DA, DLOS, ISWU, SWAJ]

The technical plans for the Empire's first Death Star were kept in a secret Imperial base on Danuta before their scheduled transfer to Darth Vader. Alliance agent Kyle Katarn infiltrated the facility and stole the plans, which were later beamed to Princess Leia's corvette near Toprawa. [DF, SWR]

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

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

Dar'Or, located in the Dar'Or system and the seldom-visited Jospro sector, is recorded in Imperial charts as OM973. The planet, a low-gravity, forested world, orbits an orange sun and is home to the intelligent flying mammals called Ri'Dar. The Ri'Dar inhabit the middle levels of the dense network of 200-meter tall waza trees that cover Dar'Or, along with the sloth-like sabertoothed indola. Predators of the Ri'Dar include the indola and the avian elix, which was recently introduced to the planet by planetary ecologists to save it from extinction on a supernova-threatened world. The elix came from a high-gravity world, however, and the relatively low gravity of Dar'Or has caused elix populations to thrive at the expense of other species.

The Ri'Dar have organized their primitive society into warrens (all families on a single waza tree) and cities (all warrens in a particular section of forest). Due to the endangered elix Dar'Or has been declared an Imperial Species Preservation Zone, but some smugglers have bypassed the travel restrictions and taken elix meat (and the occasional Ri'Dar) from its surface. [GG4]

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

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

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

Located in the Quelli sector, Dathomir is a low-gravity world with three continents, a wide ocean, and four small moons. The planet is covered with a wide variety of terrain including mountains, deserts, purple savannas, and forests with eighty-meter trees and vines bearing hwotha berries. Indigenous life on Dathomir includes flying reptiles, piglike rodents, long Whuffa worms, burra fish, and the feared rancors. Semi-intelligent, two-legged reptiles live in the desert and call themselves the Blue Desert People. Humans came to Dathomir hundreds of years ago when a group of illegal arms manufacturers were exiled to the planet by the Jedi Knights. Several generations later, a rogue Jedi named Allya was also exiled to Dathomir. Allya began to teach the Force to the planet's inhabitants and to her descendants, who also learned to tame the wild rancors. Some time later, nearly four hundred years ago, the two-kilometer Jedi spaceborne academy Chu'unthor crashed in a Dathomir tar pit. (The Jedi master Djinn Altis was known to travel in a ship also called the Chu'unthor, but based on available dating information it is unlikely that it was the same ship.) Yoda and the other Jedi sent to recover the crashed Chu'unthor were repulsed by the witches-- those female inhabitants who had learned to use the Force. Different clans of these witches (such as Singing Mountain, Frenzied River, and Misty Falls) were formed, including a group following the Dark Side calling itself the Nightsisters. Life among the clans followed a pattern of female dominance, where males were largely treated as property and not allowed to act in important decisions. Around one hundred years ago, the Nightsister Charal managed to escape from Dathomir and fell in with a group of alien marauders, who then crashed on the forest moon of Endor. Imperial forces later constructed orbital shipyards and a penal colony on the surface. Following the failure of the Emperor's attempt to destroy the Jedi enclave on Belsavis, several designers of the Eye of Palpatine were reassigned to punitive duty at Dathomir. After the Emperor learned the power of the Nightsister leader Gethzerion, he ordered all the prison's ships destroyed from orbit to prevent her from leaving the planet. The stranded Imperials at the prison were then enslaved by Gethzerion and the other Nightsisters. Four years after the Battle of Endor, Han Solo won the planet Dathomir in a high-stakes sabacc game from Warlord Omogg, who claimed it had been in her family for generations. Han's subsequent adventures on the planet resulted in the destruction of both the Nightsisters and of Warlord Zsinj's forces. Nineteen years after Endor, a new order of Nightsisters based in the Great Canyon emerged on Dathomir. This clan, allied with the Empire and founded by Luke Skywalker's former student Brakiss, treated their males as equals and sent their best Force students to be trained on the Empire's Shadow Academy.

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

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

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

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

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

Dellalt, located in the system of the same name in the Outer Rim, orbits a blue-white star in the remote Tion Hegemony. A watery world with two moons and a higher gravity and shorter day and year than standard, Dellalt held a strategic location in pre-Republic days, but it is now a poor, fringe planet isolated even from the rest of the Tion. Thousands of years ago, the ancient tyrant Xim the Despot built an opulent city and immense treasure vaults on Dellalt. These vaults and the planet's single city are located near a cold lake on the southernmost of Dellalt's three continents. This city was once an impressive metropolis designed by Xim's engineers but it has since fallen into poverty and ruin. The outermost of the apparently empty vaults house the Dellaltian Bank and Currency Exchange (the local currency unit is the driit) and the Landmark Preservation Office, while the actual treasure vaults lie below these empty decoys. The vaults are studded with anti-weapon defenses and hold a now-worthless cache of kiirium and mytag crystals. The intelligent sauropteroids of Dellalt, the Swimming People, run a ferry business at the lakeside docks, towing passengers across on rafts. Deep within the mountains is a colony of a hundred people calling themselves the Survivors-- apparently stranded on Dellalt in pre-Republic times, their culture survived for tens of thousands of years in isolation. The Survivors still hope to be rescued, and their religion involves watching over Xim's remaining war robots and making human sacrifices to increase the strength of their rescue beacon. All Survivors are hypno- imprinted at childhood, and Survivor infiltrators can be found working in Dellalt's main city. Dellalt's flora includes dendroid vines and soft blue moss, while its fauna includes dog-like animals with prehensile tails, eight legged dray beasts, and lake crustaceans. During one of Han Solo's early adventures, Xim's robots were activated by the Survivors and wiped out a contract-labor mining camp before their destruction. Two years later, three of Xim's war droids were featured in a New Year Fete Week parade on Coruscant as part of the Tion Hegemony's display. Just prior to the Battle of Yavin, the Imperials were using Dellalt as a staging point for supplies and equipment. [HSLL, FP, SWAJ]

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

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

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

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

A planet captured by the New Republic approximately four years after the Battle of Endor. The Victory Star Destroyer Tempest managed to escape Denlathia carrying components for an anti-orbital ion cannon, which were brought to the city of Zila on Garos IV. [SWAJ]

The location of a secret Santhe/Sienar Technologies laboratory. Santhe/Sienar was rumored to have developed a prototype cloaking device at this facility. [SWAJ]

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

An Alliance transport convoy tried to bring badly-needed supplies from Derra IV to the new Rebel base on Hoth. The convoy and its fighter escort, including Commander Narra, were completely destroyed by TIE fighters soon after they left the planet. General Evir Derricote, later the commander of the Imperial base on Borleias, was at Derra IV and helped destroy the Rebel convoy. [ESBR, XWRS]

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

Devaron, homeworld of the horned Devaronians (or Devish), is a temperate, sparsely-populated world covered by low mountain ranges, deep valleys, shallow lakes, and thousands of navigable rivers. The planet has little political importance but is located near the influential Core Worlds. Devaronian females live in the mountains and raise their families in Devaron's villages and industrial centers. The females control the planet's democratic government and all aspects of production and manufacturing. Devaronian males, however, prefer to aimlessly wander, and either spend their lives exploring Devaron's rivers or leave the planet altogether. Male Devish have much sharper teeth than females, and about 2% of males are born with two sets of teeth-- one for shredding flesh and one for grinding other foods. Devaron produces enough goods to support its inhabitants but does not have any useful exports. During an outbreak of Rebellion on Devaron, the Devaronian Army was placed under Imperial command. Captain Kardue'sai'Malloc (later known as Labria) oversaw the shelling of the ancient city of Montellian Serat and the massacre of 700 Rebel prisoners that followed. [GG4, TFTC]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The homeworld of the warlike, reptilian Trandoshan species. Trandoshan society is run by a strict class system, and points of interest on the planet include the Lorpfan deserts. Lanish Ran, an undercover Alliance agent, once posed as an Imperial technician in a repair facility located on Banir Avenue in the Doshan city of Forak. The bounty hunter Bossk is one infamous Trandoshan. [ESB, SWAJ]

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

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

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

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

One of the five inhabited worlds in the Corellian system, Drall is a pleasant, temperate planet with a lighter gravity than standard. During the summer, temperatures can reach levels high enough to cause portions of the landlocked Boiling Sea to actually boil, until it is cooled by winter precipitation. The planet is the homeworld of the short, furred aliens also known as Drall. The tidy, sensible Drall formerly hibernated during Drall's winter season, though most have abandoned the practice today. The species is known for its cautious nature, its honesty, and its meticulous skill at record-keeping. The planetary unit of currency is the Drallish crown. Other life on the planet includes the nannarium flower and many varied species of Drallish aviars. A vast, subterranean planetary repulsor is located near Drall's equator-- presumably used in ancient times to move the planet into its current orbit from an unknown location. One of the workers in the contract-labor mining camp on Dellalt was a Drall. During his tenure with the Corellian Security Force, Rogue Squadron pilot Corran Horn planted a false report implying that he had murdered six smugglers on Drall. The report was created so Horn and his supervisor could stage a public falling-out and remove suspicions of their working together to flee the Empire, but an Imperial death warrant was issued on Horn for the imaginary crime. During the starbuster crisis fourteen years after the Battle of Endor, Chewbacca took the Solo children and their tutor Ebrihim to Drall to stay with Ebrihim's aunt, the Duchess Marcha of Mastigophorous. The group discovered Drall's planetary repulsor, and Anakin Solo instinctively made it operational. A shot from the repulsor, fired by Anakin Solo, disabled Centerpoint Station and saved the star Bovo Yagen from destruction at the last possible instant. After the crisis, Leia Organa Solo was planning to appoint Duchess Marcha as the new Governor General of the Corellian sector. [AAC, AAS, SAC, HSLL, XWRS]

Echnos (also called Tinn VI-D) is one of six moons orbiting the gas giant Tinn VI, located in the Tinn system at the border to the Outer Rim. The barren, rocky moon's atmosphere is not breathable for any length of time, and during half of its year Echnos passes through Tinn VI's dangerous magnetic field-- most lifeforms cannot survive the field unprotected for more than twenty minutes. The field can also violently force ships from hyperspace, leaving them stranded in the Tinn system unless they can make repairs on Echnos. Echnos' inhabitants live in an enormous city-dome, forty kilometers in diameter and nearly 2000 stories high. The city's giant dome, made of blue transparisteel, shields the inhabitants from the gas giant's magnetic field and seals in a breathable atmosphere. Ships enter through eight airlock entry ports on top of the dome, and land on pads built on the peaks of the tallest buildings. The overpopulated city was built level upon level, and Level 75 is the last one open to the dome's blue "sky." The crowded, high-technology metropolis is a haven for smugglers and mercenaries, and has no form of organized government. People often come to Echnos to obtain high technology from the city's thriving black market. Attractions within the domed city include its many casinos and the weekly BlastBoat 2000 demolition derby, held in the Echnos Exhibition Dome. Echnos was first settled during the Old Republc. When scouts had their ships burned out by Tinn VI's magnetic field, the stranded crews had no choice but to colonize the nearby moon. More ships were trapped over the years from hyperspace routes near the system, but Echnos' original colonists could now make the necessary repairs. Echnos recorded almost 10,000 visits during the colony's first fifteen years, and eventually became a standard refueling and repair stop for those heading to the Outer Rim. While the moon has lost some of its importance over the years, it is still the only place in the system where any ships damaged by Tinn VI's magnetic field can make repairs. The compound called Polydex-9, sold in Echnos markets at a high price, is the only substance that repair the stripped magnetic bottle on these ships. [SWAJ]

Animal life on Ediorung includes the icefish. Porcellus, chef to Jabba the Hutt, once considered serving a meal of poached Ediorung icefish on a bed of Ramorean capanata. [TFJP]

The pleasure ship Malka'an Eternal, abandoned after a mishap, crashed on the rainy, muddy world of Edonaaris. The ship's droid SCr-114 managed to survive the crash and killed the members of a salvage team inspecting the wreck. Stealing their transport, the droid later became a notorious Outer Rim smuggler. [SWAJ]

One of the Trianii colony worlds within the disputed border of the Corporate Sector. The Trianii Rangers Atuarre and Keeheen stopped a herdbeast rustling ring on Ekibo. [CSSB]

Located in the Colonies Region, Eldrood contains the city of Eldrooden, where planetary security forces caught JAN terrorist leader Earnst Kamiel sometime after the Battle of Yavin. [SWAJ]

Captain Hallyn Phlynne, of the Imperial customs ship Interceptor, spot checks ships passing through the Elin Roe system for customs violations. [SWAJ]

Galactic News Network reporter Kella Rand's first offworld assignment was covering a mining revolt on the cold world of Elom. Five years after the Battle of Endor, a New Republic task force crewed by Elomin were completely wiped out by Grand Admiral Thrawn near the Obroa-skai system, since Thrawn understood the Elomin's psychological inability to defend against a Marg Sabl closure maneuver. [HTTE, SWAJ]

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

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

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

Located in the Moddell sector and the remote Endor system, Endor is a silvery gas giant orbited by nine moons. Its largest moon is the size of a small planet, and is variously known as the Forest Moon, the Sanctuary Moon, or often simply as Endor. The Endor system is very difficult to reach, since the uncharted territory and massive gravitational shadow of the gas giant require several complicated hyperspace jumps. Therefore, over the years many star travelers have crashed and become stranded on the habitable Forest Moon of Endor. Endor is a temperate moon of forests, savannas, and mountains, with a relatively light gravity. The world's low axial tilt and the regular orbit of its gas giant primary helps ensure a comfortable climate suitable for its many native lifeforms, including the Endorian pony, the Endoran vethiraptor, boar- wolves, glowing sprites called Wisties, fast mischievous teeks, winged condor dragons, gunlabirds, predatory Yootaks, and stump-dwelling tempters that lure prey with their camouflaged, articulated tongues. The most common sentient species on Endor are the primitive, furry Ewoks, who make their communal dwellings high in the trees. Called "lifetrees" by the Ewoks, the trees can reach heights of 1000 meters and are considered the spiritual guardians of the Ewok species. Music plays an important role in Ewok culture, which is made up of a rigid clan system. Ewoks are skilled engineers (among their inventions are gliders and catapults), and each tribe has a shaman who interprets mystical signs. A natural enemy of the Ewoks are the 30-meter high humanoid creatures called Gorax, who search the trees for Ewok dwellings low enough to grab. Gorax inhabit the rocky highlands of the barren Desert of Salma, which lies beyond the Yawari Cliffs north of the dense forest. The Desert is also marked by acid pools and dry lakes, and large rearing spiders are known to live in the bottoms of the Gorax caves. West of the forest are vast grassland plains known as the Dragon's Pelt, which are dotted with jutting lava rocks. In the distance lies a range of snow-capped mountains called the Dragon's Spine. Stilt-legged yuzzums inhabit the savanna, hunting small rodents called ruggers. A colony of off-planet alien marauders have built a stone castle on the Dragon's Pelt, and use the two-legged, slow-witted blurrgs as beasts of burden for their raids into the forest to attack Ewok villages. Almost a century ago, the humanoid marauders crash-landed on Endor with the Dathomirian Nightsister Charal. Following the orders of their leader Terak, the long-lived aliens built a castle and searched for a power source to repair their disabled starship. Much later, a starship belonging to the Towani family crashed on the forest moon. A giant Gorax captured both parents and imprisoned them in his mountain fortress in the Desert of Salma. Mace and Cindel (the Towani children) managed to rescue their parents from the Gorax with the help of Wicket the Ewok and the other members of his tribe. Later, the marauders, led by Terak and Charal, killed the entire Towani family except for Cindel. With the help of the Ewoks and the stranded human Noa, the marauders were eventually defeated and Cindel and Noa were able to leave the forest moon. Soon after, the Empire selected Endor as the construction site for the second Death Star, and established an Imperial base on the surface to generate a protective shield for the orbiting battle station. A Rebel strike force, including Han Solo and Leia Organa, was able to destroy the shield generator with the help of Wicket's Ewok tribe. The Death Star and much of the Imperial fleet were subsequently destroyed in what is now known as the Battle of Endor. A cloud of Darkside energy (a residual effect of the Emperor's first death) is now located in Endor's orbit at the site of this destruction. Throm Loro, a leader of the resistance on Cilpar, helped liberate an Imperial base on Endor, where he saved the life of a Wookiee prisoner. [ROTJ, ROJN, DFR, JS, DA, SWS, COTJ, XW, DESB, ETVM, ISWU]

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

The colony located on Ennth was devastated by a natural disaster in the years following the Battle of Endor. Zekk, later a friend of Jacen and Jaina Solo, was orphaned in the disaster and escaped Ennth on a supply ship. [YJK]

Entralla, located in the system of the same name, lies within the Velcar Free Commerce Zone in the Pentastar Alignment. The planet is a world of shining spaceports whose large, single moon can often be seen in its bright blue sky. Entralla has a proud and ancient history-- many prominent religious sects had their origin on Entralla, and the planet is home to several important monasteries. Within Entralla's Nexus City starport is the famous historic district and a seedy industrial zone known as the Overhang, where very little sunlight can penetrate the dense buildings. Entrallans have a deep respect for their long history of rich legends, and their pale moon features prominently in their mythology. During the traditional Lunar Night festival (on the night when Entralla's moon passes closest to the planet) the famous Parade of Ghosts is staged in Nexus City's historic district. Many tourists come to see the spectacle, which commemorates the deeds of mythical Entrallan warriors. Entralla is also home to the Guild of Interstellar Merchants, a large organization of commercial spacers who operate within the Pentastar Alignment. The Guild sets schedules and fees between its members and Guild-sponsored worlds. After the Emperor's death at Endor, the inhabitants of Entralla staged a civil uprising, intending to leave the Empire and join the Alliance. The newly-formed Pentastar Alignment, however, immediately placed the Entrallan Senate under house arrest and installed a puppet regime. New Republic Colonel Andrephan Stormcaller tried to persuade the Republic navy liberate Entralla, his home planet. When the Republic declined to help, Stormcaller resigned his military position and formed the Red Moons, an elite mercenary group that often fights the Pentastar Alignment. The pirate Roark Slader was once a commander in the Entrallan militia. [SWAJ]

Eol ShaEol Sha, a volcanic world, is circled by a large double moon which is in decaying orbit and will likely collide with the planet in another hundred years. The surface of the planet is covered with scalding geysers and bubbling lava fissures, which were known to hold a dangerous lava fireworm. A mining operation was established on Eol Sha 100 years ago to extract valuable gasses from the nearby Cauldron Nebula, but when the operation failed the colonists were forgotten. The colonists lived on the planet for generations, surviving on crustacean bugdillos and edible lichens, until relocated to Dantooine by the New Republic. Gantoris, one of Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy students, was from Eol Sha. The planet was possibly destroyed when all the suns in the adjacent Cauldron Nebula went nova. [JS]

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

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

Located in the Etti system, Etti IV is one of the Corporate Sector's large urban worlds. A civilized planet, Etti IV is a trade world marked by moss-covered plains, shallow saline seas and a favorable location near many hyperspace routes. Etti IV is very wealthy, inhabited by both prosperous Corporate Sector Authority executives and a thriving criminal underbelly. The planet has many diversions for its moneyed citizens, including an Authority Currency Exchange, Sabodor's pet shop, and the Free-Flight Dance Dome. [HSSE, D, CSSB]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

An Imperial System Patrol Squadron base near Feenicks VI was eliminated by an Alliance strike team in the time following the Battle of Yavin. [FP]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The largest moon orbiting the planet Commenor, Folor is a craggy gray satellite home to an Alliance starfighter training center. The base is built within a network of underground tunnels, which was a mining complex and likely a smugglers' hideout in the past. The base is commanded by General Horton Salm, and off-duty pilots can be found relaxing in a makeshift cantina called the DownTime. The Folor gunnery and bombing range, a deep twisting canyon on the moon's surface, is called the "pig trough" due to the unflattering nickname of the Y-wing starfighters that often train there. A satellite field surrounding Folor is also used by pilots for obstacle training. Two and a half years after the Battle of Endor, the newest members of Rogue Squadron were instructed at Folor before flying their first combat missions. [XWRS]

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

The location of the Fire Rings. Han Solo once remarked that a difficult task can be compared to "flying through the five Fire Rings of Fornax." [SWN]

The home planet of the Frozians-- tall, furred, extra-jointed aliens known for their melancholy outlook on life. Micamberlecto, the former New Republic governor-general of the Corellian sector, was a Frozian. [AAC]

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

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

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

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

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

Gamorr's varied terrain ranges from frozen tundra to deep forests, and it is considered quite pleasant by off- worlders. The dim-witted Gamorreans, however, care only for the vicious, bloody warfare constantly occurring between rival clans. Gamorrean sows run the clans and do the productive work such as hunting and farming, while the boars spend all their time training and fighting their rivals with primitive hand-axes and swords, vying for the attention of the Alpha female. Gamorr is also home to furry, bloodsucking parasites called morrts, that Gamorreans look upon with affection and allow to feed on their own body fluids. The first interstellar trading ship to land on Gamorr was utterly destroyed after five armies fought a bloody two-day battle for the right to do so. Procedures programs for those intending to visit the planet state only, "Do not visit Gamorr." Many Gamorreans are employed throughout the galaxy as guards, mercenaries, and enforcers, and some have colonized the Outer Rim world of Pzob. The planet is also home to vicious Gamorrean watch-beasts, which are used as guard animals at the Imperial Army training centers on Sirpar. [SWS, COTJ, SWAJ]

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

Gand is a primarily gaseous planet and home to the alien species also called Gand. Gand society is composed of pocket colonies separated by enshrouding mists, and the Gand government is a totalitarian monarchy established centuries ago. Locating fugitives in the thick gasses is the responsibility of Gand "findsmen," who worship the mists and use religious rituals to lead them to their targets. Names are a reflection of status on Gand-- those Gand who have achieved little are simply called "Gand." As an individual accomplishes more, he or she earns a surname, then a first name. Only those Gand whose fame is so great that they are known by all are allowed to refer to themselves with pronouns. All other Gand always refer to themselves in the third person, using their "lesser" names when they feel contrite or ashamed. Due to the world's unique atmosphere, most Gand must wear some type of breathing apparatus when off-planet. After Gand and its slave trade were taken over by the Empire, the Imperials' advanced technology made the arcane techniques of the findsmen largely obsolete. Some Gand findsmen have since found work as bounty hunters, including the notorious Zuckuss, though others such as Rogue Squadron pilot Ooryl Qrygg have chosen nobler professions. [MTS, XWRS]

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

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

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

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

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

The Garos system, a four-day hyperspace journey from Coruscant, contains six planets: Berusa, Chaila, the inhabited worlds Sundari and Garos IV, Regar I, and Regar II. The system lies near the Nyarikan Nebula, a navigation hazard which has made travel to the system uncommon. [SWAJ]

A terrestrial planet of thick forests and mountains, Garos IV and its twin moons are located in the Garos system with its sister planet Sundari. Due to the navigational hazard of the nearby Nyarikan Nebula, the people of Garos IV have necessarily been independent, relying on little contact or assistance from the larger galaxy. 4000 years ago, Garos IV and Sundari were first settled by human colonists. The two worlds immediately began inter-system trade, since the Sundars were dependent on agricultural harvests from Garosian farms. About 200 years ago, large numbers of Sundars began emigrating to Garos IV, settling in Northlan in the Upper Morcur Valley. This area was the heart of Garos' agricultural and manufacturing districts, and the Sundar immigrants began establishing new businesses and factories-- earning the resentment of Garosians who were hurt by the new competition. A civil war between the two planets erupted when a Garosian grain processing facility in the city of Geran was destroyed-- intentionally, some claimed, by the Sundars. The devastating war raged on for 82 years until a truce was hammered out by Tork Winger, Assistant Minister of Defense for Garos IV, and Tionthes Turi, a respected Sundar engineer. Violations of the truce, such as the Whahalla Massacre, continued, but the Empire's intervention into the conflict approximately five years before the Battle of Yavin brought a sudden, violent end to most resistance. Since then, the Imperial presence on Garos IV has been relatively small and unobtrusive, until the recent discovery of the planet's hibridium ore deposits. Hibridium is only found on the western coastline of Garos' main continent, and can produce a natural cloaking effect key to the production of military loaking devices. Garos IV has a relatively small population of 20 million Garosians and four million Sundars. Animal life on the planet includes flying, nocturnal crupas and wild boetays, while plant life includes the baraka tree. Ariana, Garos' capital city, is located on the western shore of the larger of the planet's two main continents and is home to the distinguished University of Garos. The Imperial Headquarters building is located across the street from the popular tavern Chado's Pub, while beneath the city lies a vast maze of subterranean tunnels. Nearby, the forbidding Tahika Cliffs run for a hundred kilometers along the continent's western coastline, facing the vast expanse of the Locura Ocean. The new Imperial hibridium mines are located in a mountain range south of Ariana, situated between Mount Usca and Hargon's Hill. Forty kilometers southeast of Ariana is the agricultural and manufacturing city of Garan, built on the Salc River. Garan sits on the edge of the Lower Morcur Valley, a major foodstuffs-producing region, and is connected to Ariana by the Old Currahen Highway. Over nine hundred kilometers east of Ariana on the south-central coast lies the ancient resort city of Zila. Zila is known for its architectural diversity, and a range of stone turrets line the waterfront facing the Cabalia Sea for nearly a kilometer. Mount Berin is located on the outskirts of Zila. Garos' Imperial military is commanded by General Zakar, and the world is ruled by Tork Winger, who was appointed as the Imperial governor. Winger's residence, the Governor's Mansion, is located south of Ariana near the edge of the Tahika Cliffs. Unbeknownst to Winger, his adopted daughter Alex is secretly a member of the Garosian resistance, and has been fighting the Imperial presence on Garos IV for years. Garos' underground movement, whose members also include Magir Paca and the undercover Imperial Dair Haslip, meet in Ariana's subterranean tunnels and plan for the day the New Republic will arrive to liberate their world. [SWAJ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A cluster of sixty-three stars with sixty-three inhabited planets, the Hapes Consortium is an old and very wealthy society that had almost no contact with the rest of the galaxy for three thousand years. Encompassing hundreds of different governments and thousands of cultures, the cluster was first settled thousands of years ago by a pirate group called the Lorell Raiders, who seized beautiful women from their victims to serve as their mates. The male descendants continued to serve as pirates for generations, until their forces were eliminated by the Jedi Knights. The women then took control of the cluster, and the inherited leadership title of Queen Mother began. The first queen mother began construction on the Star Home, an enormous castle-like spaceship, four thousand years ago. The worlds of the Hapes cluster include Arabanth, Charubah, Dreena, Gallinore, Reboam, Selab, Terephon, Ut, Maires, Vergill, and Hapes itself, which is orbited by seven moons. The Fountain Palace on the planet Hapes is home to the Hapan royal family, who stay in Reef Fortress in emergencies. Located on an isolated island accessible only by boat, Reef Fortress is a secure stronghold of stone parapets entered through a cave grotto and protected by night perimeter shields. The Dragon's Teeth, jagged rocks jutting from Hapes' blue-green ocean, are a nearby landmark. Frequent encounters with star pirates occur on the Hapes Consortium's borders, partially because many young Hapan males turn to piracy as a means of rebellion. The Hapan naval space forces include the feared Battle Dragon and the newer Hapes Nova-class battle cruisers; for use on oceans, Hapes manufactures the Hapan Water Dragon. Four years after the Battle of Endor, Queen Mother Ta'a Chume, matriarch of the Royal House of Hapes, broke the cluster's long isolation when she offered her son Prince Isolder to Leia Organa in marriage. Isolder later married Teneniel Djo of Dathomir, who bore a daughter, Tenel Ka. Nineteen years after the Battle of Endor, Tenel Ka returned to Hapes after losing her arm in a training accident at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy. Jacen and Jaina Solo and their friend Lowbacca visited Tenel Ka, and the group got caught up in Ambassador Yfra's plot to overthrow the Hapan monarchy. After a bomb went off in the Fountain Palace, the group retreated to Reef Fortress, where Yfra tried to have them eliminated by steering their wavespeeder into a patch of carnivorous seaweed and ordering an attack on the Fortress by deadly Bartokk assassins. [COPL, COTJ, YJK]

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

One of the two largest moons orbiting the planet Bespin. H'gaard and its smaller sister moon Drudonna are known together as The Twins. The moon is only five kilometers in diameter. Both are unremarkable ice satellites, and appear as large green spheres in Bespin's night sky. [GG2]

A deserted, battle-scarred planet first discovered by the Fifth Alderaanian Expedition. Atop a bluff sits the crumbling fortress of Hijarna, made of hard black stone and probably abandoned a thousand years before its discovery. The fortress overlooks a plain crossed with deep ravines and marked with indications of former devastation. It is unclear whether the fortress was built to defend against this destruction, or was somehow the cause of it.

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

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

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

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

A planet with three moons in the Honoghr system (near Fwillsving and Kessel), and the homeworld of the Noghri. Honoghr is a devastated world; almost all of its plant and animal life has been destroyed. From space it appears to be uniformly brown, broken only by the occasional blue lake and the green area known as the Clean Lands. The main city of Nystao is located in the center of the Clean Lands-- it is home to the Common Room of Honoghr within the Grand Dukha and is the only city with adequate spacecraft repair facilities. The Noghri people are divided into clans (including the clans Kihm'bar, Bakh'tor, Eikh'mir, and Hakh'khar) that have had a long history of bloody rivalry. Each clan is ruled by a dynast, and female maitrakhs lead family or subclan units. In the center of each village is a cylindrical building called a dukha, constructed of polished wood encircled by a metal band and containing the clan High Seat and a genealogical chart carved into one wall. The ancient Noghri laws of discovery and judgement involve a period of public shaming in the main city by order of the clan dynasts. The village of clan Kihm'bar is at the edge of the Clean Lands and is ruled by Dynast Ir'khaim. Animal life on Honoghr includes the carnivorous stava. During the Clone Wars, a battle between two starships resulted in one of them crashing on Honoghr's surface, setting off catastrophic earthquakes and releasing toxic chemicals into the atmosphere. Darth Vader came to offer Imperial assistance, and teams of deadly Noghri commandos joined the Empire in return for Emperor's help in restoring their world. Noghri clans and their respective dukhas were relocated to the Clean Lands, and Imperial decontamination droids set to work apparently renewing the soil. In actuality, the Empire had seeded Honoghr with a hybrid form of kholm-grass that inhibited all other plant growth, keeping the planet lifeless for generations and forcing the Noghri to remain in the Emperor's debt. Before Vader's death, he named Grand Admiral Thrawn his designated heir and ruler of the Noghri commandos. The Noghri renounced their service to Thrawn after Leia Organa Solo showed them the extent of the Empire's treachery, and they began to grow new crops along the banks of a hidden river running between two jagged cliffs. After Thrawn's defeat, the New Republic was planning to relocate the Noghri people to a new world. [HTTE, DFR, TLC]

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

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

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

Hoth, the sixth planet in the system of the same name, is an icy, unpopulated world covered with glacier fields, circling a blue-white sun. The isolated world is not even recorded on some standard navigational charts. Hoth is orbited by three moons, and receives a great deal of meteor activity. The planet's daylight temperature averages -32 degrees centigrade even in the temperate equatorial zone, and can plunge another 20-30 degrees at night. Hoth's native lifeforms include the common tauntaun and its natural predator, the Wampa ice creature. The many species of tauntauns eat fungus growing in cave grottoes and beneath the snow layer, and cluster together in caves during Hoth's bitter night to keep from freezing. Sights on Hoth include spectacular frozen ice geysers, and a 1000-kilometer long chasm in the planet's southern hemisphere. The bottom of this chasm is filled with water, kept in its liquid state due to the immense pressure of the two opposing cliff faces. Several glaciers, slowly sliding into the chasm's depths, harbor algae and burrowing, algae-feeding ice worms. Following the Battle of Yavin, Luke Skywalker crashed on Hoth in an effort to escape pursuing TIE fighters. He encountered two lifelike androids, programmed to look and act like an Imperial governor and his daughter, who had been hiding on Hoth in order to escape from the Empire. Later, the pirate Raskar captured Skywalker and Han Solo above Hoth, and Solo flew the group to a deep chasm on the planet's equator. There they discovered a hidden cave filled with rare lumni-spice lichens guarded by a fire- breathing dragon-slug, and barely escaped with their lives. After the Alliance fully evacuated from Yavin 4, they established their main base on Hoth (in a series of ice caves at the northern edge of the temperate zone), christening it Echo Base. The Alliance encountered trouble adapting their equipment to Hoth's extreme temperatures, and were also attacked by the Wampa ice creatures. The base was later discovered by an Imperial probe droid, leading to the defeat of the Rebels by Darth Vader's forces in the engagement now known as the Battle of Hoth. Eight years after the Battle of Endor, a big-game hunting expedition traveled to Hoth, intending to hunt Wampas for their valuable pelts. When the Wampas destroyed the party's landing ship, the group took shelter in the abandoned Echo Base. Luke Skywalker and Callista attempted to rescue the hunters, but the entire expedition was killed by the ice creatures, and Skywalker and Callista barely escaped with their lives.

The remote Hoth system is located in the Ison Corridor on the fringes of civilized space, and its sixth planet is a frozen, unpopulated world also known as Hoth. The system also contains a dangerous asteroid belt, formed billions of years ago by the collision of two planets. Within the belt there is rumored to be a pure platinum asteroid, called "Kerane's Folly" after the prospector who discovered it, left to verify its purity, then could never find it again. On some asteroids grow delicate crystal ferns, which could be a primitive silicon-based lifeform. Over the centuries many smugglers and criminals have built bases in some of the larger asteroids, including the notorious pirate Clabburn, who placed huge space slugs to guard his hideouts. After the Battle of Hoth, the Millennium Falcon tried to escape pursuing Star Destroyers in the asteroid field and was nearly swallowed by a space slug. Eight years after the Battle of Endor, Durga the Hutt began mining the asteroids in the Hoth Asteroid Belt for raw materials used in the construction of the Darksaber weapon. The Darksaber was discovered in the asteroid field by New Republic forces, and the weapon was utterly destroyed when it was crushed between two planetoids. [ESB, DS, ISWU]

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

Located in the Bseto system, the uninhabited planet Indikir is the second planet orbiting the white dwarf star Bseto. [SWAJ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ithor is a right green and blue planet with many moons in the Ottega system (sometimes referred to as the Ithorian system) located in the Lesser Plooriod Cluster. The fourth planet in the system and home to the nature-loving Ithorians, Ithor is a beautiful world of unspoiled rainforests, rivers, and waterfalls. Three continents have been developed on the humid planet, though they still appear to be overgrown jungles to most visitors. Two large land masses and many islands are maintained in their original, unexplored state. The Ithorians, commonly called "hammerheads" or "Meerian hammerheads," consider their jungle sacred and only set foot in it during emergencies. Instead, they have constructed vast floating cities (including the Tree of Tarintha, the Cloud-Mother, and the Grand Herd Ship Tafanda Bay) which float above the Bafforr treetops in no particular pattern. Ithorian starships, essentially herd cities with hyperdrives, travel the spacelanes selling unusual and rare merchandise. Brathflen Corporation, which operates on Belsavis, is a major Ithorian trading company. At times the Mother Jungle has been known to "call" certain Ithorians to live on the surface as ecological priests, who then never return to their herd cities. All Ithorians are bound by the Ithorian Law of Life, which states that for every plant harvested, two must be planted in its place. A large grove of semi-intelligent Bafforr trees, located in the Cathor Hills, was half-destroyed by the Empire. This grove acts as an intelligent hive mind and is worshipped by the Ithorian people. In addition to the Bafforr, Ithor's flora includes blueleaf, tremmin, fiddleheaded bull-ferns, donar flowers, and indyup trees; animal life includes the manollium bird, the arrak snake, and the flitter-- a small flying rodent that can mimic speech. One of the most beautiful attractions on the planet is the Falls of Dessiar. Every five years Ithorians gather at their planet for "The Meet," where the most important decisions regarding Ithorian society are made. During this Time of Meeting the herd cities link up through an intricate and graceful network of bridges and antigrav platforms. Years ago, the Imperial captain Alima, commanding the Star Destroyer Conquest, forced the Ithorian Momaw Nadon to reveal secret agricultural and cloning information. Nadon, High Priest of the Tafanda Bay, gave up the information to save the rainforests and his herd city from destruction. For this transgression Nadon was exiled from Ithor, and lived on Tatooine for many years until exacting his revenge on Alima. Ithor's herd cities are a common destination for tourists, especially young couples. Wedge Antilles and Imperial scientist Qwi Xux once visited Ithor as a safe haven, though they were attacked by Kyp Durron who partially erased Xux's mind. [SWS, MTS, SWR, DA, COTJ, TFTC]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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