E-elz, Entoo Needaan
this small, slender man served as the primary contact for anyone dealing with Jorj Car'das, in the years following his disappearance into the Kathol Outback. He preferred to go by the name Entoo Nee. He met up with Talon Kaarde on Dayark, and offered to bring him to Exocron. Kaarde was forced to decline, after being intercepted by some of Rei'kas' goons. Entoo Nee later met them at Rintatta City, on Exocron, when Karrde finally made it to the planet. Entoo Nee led them to Car'das' compound, and introduced them to an aging old man. When Karrde returned later, after defeating Rei'kas and his pirate fleet with the help of the Exocron Combined Air-Space Fleet and the Aing-Tii monks, Entoo Nee allowed them to greet the real Jorj Car'das.

E-series Droid
(1) antique short, humanoid droid used for household tasks. They have round heads with eyes and nose, but no mouth. They tend to work together, making friends and becoming inseparable. (DRO)
(2) a series of protocol droids. (BTS)
E-Wing
this starfighter, which employs the R7 astromech droid, was the first starfighter to be fully designed and built under the auspices of the New Republic, and was created by FreiTek Incorporated. The ship, while visually like the X-Wing, has a pair of stable wings. It dishes out punishment and can take it equally well. It uses the R7 droid to take advantage of a redesigned hyperdrive system. The weapons systems leave something to be desired, being based on a synthetic Tibanna gas that isn't as good as the real thing. The New Republic employed two models of the E-Wing. The basic A-Model is 11.2 meters in length, and is armed with three heavy blaster cannons and a proton torpedo launcher. The B-Model is nearly identical to the A-model, except that Mon Calamarian techs have tripled the power input to the weapons systems. This makes them extremely powerful, but if the couplings fail and the weapons overheat, they can be extremely dangerous. (DE1, DESB, EGV)
E-Web Blaster
MerrSonn's EWHB-10 heavy repeating blaster. BlasTech also produced a version of this weapon. (ISB, RPG, TLC)
E-11 Trooper Rifle
a BlasTech military laser weapon used by stormtroopers, it has a quarter-centimeter aperture. It can be fired continuously, but only at low-power settings.

The weapon was cloned by SoroSuub as the Stormtrooper One rifle. (SME, CCG, CSA)
E-16/x
this small ion engine was developed by Incom for use on the T-16 Skyhopper. (EGV)
E-2
the designation of an ancient series of asteroid mining ships designed by Byblos Drive Yards. The E-2 miner is an insectoid ship that looks small. However, the E-2 is actually over 100 meters in length. Instead of using tractor beams to move asteroids, the E-2 is equipped with eight rugged claws which can dig into stone and grasp an asteroid beneath the main body of the miner. Each e-2 is also equipped with plasma drills to cut away useless rock to reveal the ore within. The removed stone is sucked up into a central vacuum system that deposits the material in a sorting area. Valuable ores are sent into storage bays, while other material is sent to a processing plant to be turned into fuel. Each E-2 miner has a command crew of four, a bridge crew of ten, and over 100 miners. Finhead Stonebone was one of the first to recognize the potential of E-2 miners in his pirating operation in the Stenness Systems some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. He modified his E-2s to attack the ore haulers made from Ithullian Colossus Wasp carapaces. (TOJ, EGV)
E-3PO

(CS)
Ebareebaveebeedee
this Squib reclamation ship Commander was known as the "Illustrious Chieftain of the Junkyards." He had ruled the Squibs as king for more than 40 years before the Battle of Yavin. He was responsible for the placement of Squib spies on capital ships, creating a network of informants who could inform the Squibs of the location of Imperial garbage dumps and battle sites. This allowed the Squib race to flourish during the later years of the New Order. He commanded the momship Thrifty, and negotiated with the Alliance for information on the whereabouts of a gravity-well projector that could be used to detain the Elusive. (SH)

Ebranite
this humanoid race has evolved in the harsh canyons of the planet Ebra. The Ebranites have six, multi-jointed arms that allow them to climb the rocky canyon walls. Each arm ends in four long fingers and two opposing thumbs, which provide sure grips in almost any situation. Their two legs are short and heavy, having evloved in support of their large upper bodies. Thus, Ebranites have difficulty walking upright and prefer climbing over walking. They are fiercely loyal to their families and their clans, and early Ebranite civilization was marked by clan wars. The clans have since become interconnected, and the advancement of their race has been remarkable. There are clans that have remained at war with each other, much to the dismay of the leadership council. The Ebranite race's ancient wars were violent, for the Ebranite physiology pumps huge amounts of adrenaline when they are under stress. They are calm peaceful under most circumstances, but can be whipped into a combat rage in almost no time. They have a primitive technology, and were subjugated by the Empire and put to work in the lu-ramin mines. Many fled their homeworld ot join the Alliance. (GG12)

Echnos
this is the formal name of the fourth of six moons orbitting the gas giant Tinn VI. Thus, it is often referred to as Tinn VI-D. It was discovered by a group of Old Republic explorers who had to make an emergency landing. The strong magnetic pull of Tinn VI forced them to re-emerge from hyperspace to realspace, an event which continues to happen from time to time. Thus, many hyperspace routes give the planet and its moons a wide berth, but Echnos managed to grow into an important trace center in its sector. The inhabitants of Echnos have built a huge, 2000-story city-dome under which they exist. The dome seals in atmosphere and maintains eight airlocks for entry and egress of starships. (SWAJ)

These he returned to Coruscant, turning them over to the investor who financed his mission, Harkin Dyson. (SOL, TT)
Eclipse
the first Eclipse-class Star Destroyer, the Eclipse was used as the flagship for the reborn Emperor Palpatine. It was destroyed when the Force storm Palpatine sent to destroy Luke Skywalker turned on Palaptine himself. The storm consumed Palpatine and eradicated the Eclipse. (DE1)
Eclipse II
this Eclipse-class Star Destroyer was built by the second reincarnation of Emperor Palpatine, following the loss of his first ship, the Eclipse. Palpatine took the Eclipse II to Onderon, in an attempt to obtain the body of Anakin Solo for clones. A New Republic assault team, led by Chewbacca and Kam Solusar, infiltrated the ship and reprogrammed its navigation systems. They fled the ship as it jumped into hyperspace, bound for Byss. When it emerged from hyperspace, the Eclipse II crashed into the new Galaxy Gun, which began to fires its projectiles in its death throes. One projectile was launched successfully, and it ploughed into the planet Byss, destroying it and all of the Imperial ships in orbit around it, including the Eclipse II. The New Republic assault team barely escaped. (EE)

Twice the size of its forerunner, the Super-class Star Destroyer, the Eclipse-class was 17,500 meters in length. Manned by 708,470 crewers and 4,175 gunners, the Eclipse-class was designed to instill fear, much like the Death Star. It was the first Imperial ship to use the awesome axial superlaser. This immense weapon, a single laser based on the eight-laser Death Star superlaser, was capable of destroying an entire planet from orbit. It employed a series of focusers and generators to form the single laser. The Eclipse-class was also equipped with 550 heavy laser cannons, 500 turbolaser batteries, 75 ion cannons, 100 tractor beam projectors, and 10 gravity well projectors. Fifty TIE Interceptor squadrons, eight TIE Bomber squadrons, and 100 AT-ATs were nestled in hangars that could hold an entire Victory-class Star Destroyer. It was made from all-black hull components, making it nearly invisible to the naked eye. (DE1, DESB)

Adalric Brandl was given the part at the age of thirty, and hoped that his son, Jaalib, would eventually grow into the role. The Edjian-Prince was the determined son of a king who dies, leaving his small forest kingdom to the Prince. The Prince was not satisfied with the small holdings he inherited, and began to send woodsmen into the forest to chop down trees and make room for growth. However, the forest was ruled by the Eharl Khoehng, who tricked the Prince into sending all his subjects into the forest. The Edjian-Prince, consumed with the need to cut down the forest, sends every last citizen into the woods, until he is alone and frightened by the Eharl Khoehng. The Trickster King sends dreams of peace and safe passage to the Prince in dreams, and the Prince feels that he has one last chance to gain the forest. However, the Eharl Khoehng tricks him, trapping him in the forest for ten years before finally appearing. The Edjian-Prince learns that his subjects have been turned into the trees of the forest, and the only way to restore them is to acknowledge the Eharl Khoehng as king. The Edjian-Prince goes mad and refuses, then burns the forest to the gorund. He then submits himself to the Eharl Khoehng and mutters, "Long ... live ... the king." (SWJ8)

It was Joi Eicroth who performed the first autopsies and investigative analysis of the Qella bodies recovered from Maltha Obex by Joto Eckels. She discovered the existence of the Eicroth bodies, which were named for her. (TT)
Eicroth Body
this biological formation, identified by Joi Eicroth, is a small, capsule-like body encased in solid protein. These bodies contain the three unique genetic cell structures characteristic of the Qella, as well as the various combinations of the 62 chromosomes that define the Qella. The contents of each and every Eicroth body is virtually solid genetic material, and five percent of the Qella body is made up of these bodies. It was believed that each Eicroth Body contained the complete genetic blueprints of the Qella race, including its history and consicousness. The smallest bodies were no larger than a grain of sand, while others were the size of plates. Unlike the normal genetic code - which has four letters, two-letter words, and three-word sentences - Eicroth bodies have genetic material with six unique letters grouped in six-word sentences. The formation of the Eicroth body is duplicated on three distinct scales. There are somatic cells which make up the Qella flesh, lesser Eicroth bodies which make up the basic genetic material, and greater Eicroth bodies which contain instructions for creating starship-sized eggs (such as the Teljkon vagabond) for transporting unborn Qella. (TT)
Eidolon
this prototype Strike-class cruiser was built by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. It was designed to carry squadrons of TIE Fighters into battle. The Eidolon was lost on its maiden voyage, although it was later learned that the ship had been blind-jumped into hyperspace because it was barely spaceworthy. The ship ended up buried on Tatooine, with its weapons cache still intact. Its whereabouts were known only to Sate Pestage, who kept the location a secret until Lirin Banolt stole a data disk containing the plans to the ship and its location. Its location was also known to Marl Semtin, who discovered that it served his purposes as a remote base. The Imperials lost the ship when Rogue Squadron managed to secure it before Huff Darklighter or Firith Olan could secret away the weapons. (XWBT)

Ejagga Pakkpekatt
this Hortek Colonel served the New Republic as part of the Intelligence agency. He was placed in command of Glorious and was sent to intercept the Teljkon vagabond about twelve years after the Battle of Endor. He was constantly at odds with Lando Calrissian, but often recognized the worth of Lando's opinion. He did not approve of Lando's bold move to gain entrance to the vagabond, and was even less happy with the escape of the vagabond near Gmir Askilon. The flight of the vagabond rendered the Kuari a derelict, caused numerous deaths and injuries, and left him without a clue as to the whereabouts of the ship. Calrissian, Lobot, R2-D2, and C-3PO were also aboard the vagabond when it fled. This combination of events led the New Republic to recall the majority of Pakkpekatt's fleet, although he was given a few ships to chase the vagabond and rescue Calrissian. He eventually took control of the Lady Luck and was brought to the vagabond when C-3PO activated its slave circuit. The ships jumped around from the Prakith System to the planet Brath Qella, where the true purpose of the vagabond was revealed. (BTS, SOL, TT)

This droid was designed around a moto-ball base that supported a clam-shell cranium and long, articulated arms. Its critical systems were well-armored, and it kept itself in peak condition. EL-434 found its way into the employ of the Empire, which used it to eliminate Alliance bases and destroy Alliance personnel. EL-434 was captured by the Alliance on one such mission, after they were alerted to EL-434's arrival. The droid overrode its self-destruct programming, reasoning that it could better assist the Empire by gathering information on Alliance safe-worlds. EL-434 was on the transport ship Celestial when it was commandeered by Bane Nothos and Grand Moff Ravik, and EL-434 suddenly found itself in Otherspace, imprisoned on the Desolate. The Charon bioscientists wanted to disassemble EL-434, in an effort to understand how a non-organic construct could override its programming and increase its own abilities. EL-434 escaped during the Alliance’s attempts to escape from the Desolate, although the droid was unable to escape the Charon ship when the Alliance did. (OS)

Eliad
a non-descript planet in the Minos Cluster, it was on Eliad that Emperor Palpatine exiled a large number of nobles after stripping them of their power. He offered them the chance to remain alive - rather than make martyrs out of them by killing them - if they remained in permanent exile. If they agreed, they were allowed to take with them all of their wealth. Eliad was one of a handful of remote worlds that Palpatine chose as his exile colonies. With nothing to do and nowhere to go, the incredibly rich settlers of Eliad devised increasingly sophisticated and demented ways of entertaining themselves. The inhabitants remained staunch, albeit quite, supporters of the Old Republic, but they kept their beliefs to themselves rather than attract Imperial attention. Palpatine stationed a Lancer-class frigate in orbit around Eliad, to keep the nobles in their places. The average day on Eliad lasts 21 standard hours, while its year encompasses 381 local days.

Their eyes are set on short stalks on either side of their heads, and their mouths are punctuated by two short tusks. They are peaceful herbivores, and have remained outside of the galactic community while the Elomin have embraced the galaxy. Some younger Eloms have been outspoken about receiving the benefits realized by the Elomin, and this dissention was only heightened when the Empire took control of Elom. The Elom race evolved on the surface of Elom, but moved underground to search out roots and tubers when the water levels of their planet dropped. Thus, they didn't gain from the interaction with the Old Republic or the Empire, as did the Elomin. Many Eloms simply retreated deeper into their caves. (GG12)

Emancipation Virus
developed by Xalto Sneerzick and Babalabbet Swoont, this small program was designed to work its way into a droid’s programming and destroy any subservient traits. The virus also eliminated the droid’s life preservation programming, freeing the droid from any bonds it might have had to organic masters. Sneerzick had been raiding Cosmohaul Shipping transport vessels, looking for droids to free, when he was presented the opportunity to take control of the Argent Lady and its cargo of 100 R5 droids. He set the emancipation virus free among the R5s, hoping to test it further and enlist more followers. However, the R5 personality matrix - as programmed by Industrial Automaton - was poorly completed in order to shave off a few credits in the price of the droids. The R5 series tends to grew sour and bitter with age, and this trait brought out the worst possible result in the emancipation virus. The R5s began to turn against anything in their way, including Sneerzick’s followers. The R5s were destroyed by a team of freelance mercenaries, but not before they managed to kill Sneerzick and his fellow abolitionists. (SWJ9)

this planet is the homeworld of the Mistryl warrior sect. The people of the planet believed that Emberlene was one of the first worlds destroyed by the Empire for supposedly rebellious activity. This was the primary reason the Mistryl were created, as a way to exact revenge on the Empire.
The Mistryl felt all the more cheated when the destruction of the planet Caamas was made public, and there was a great swelling of outrage - and still Emberlene remained a nearly lifeless hulk. However, Jorj Car'das eventually revealed the truth behind Emberlene's destruction to Shada D'ukal. About three years before the destruction, the Eleven Elders who ruled the planet set out to conquer and plunder any and all worlds within their reach. These actions were kept secret for nearly two and a half years, before a group of their victims hired a mercenary force to combat them. The mercenaries were, in Car'das' words, "overly thorough" in their efforts, and wiped out nearly all life on Emberlene. Car'das offered to give Shada the information that would lead her to source of the mercenary group, but she decided that the time had come for her people to simply start living again, rather than existing only for revenge.

Empire, The
the name given to the regime established by Senator Palpatine when he assumed the position of galactic ruler and instituted his New Order. The basic belief of the Empire was to rule by fear of force rather than by force itself. Palpatine became the Emperor, and built a huge war machine in order to instill fear. Palpatine's use of the Dark Side of the Force bolstered his ability to control the galaxy, until he was destroyed during the Battle of Endor. After that, the Empire floundered for a number of years. Various warlords and Imperial officers tried to re-establish momentum for the Empire in a series of skirmishes with the New Republic, but none was able to triumph over it. Even the reborn Emperor Palpatine tried to strike back from a hidden base on Byss, but could not defeat Luke Skywalker and the New Republic. (SW, ESB, ROTJ, HTTE, DE1, JS)

the Endurance-class fleet carrier was one of the new classes approved for use by the Navy. Like other starships of the new class, the Endurance-class was based on another design which had already been proved, the Nebula-class destroyer. It measured 1,040 meters in length. (BTS)
Endwa
this meat is a Corellian staple and, like most Corellian foods, is best served fried. It is said that properly-cooked endwa slides down the throat slowly. (IJ)
Energy Ball
a small artillery weapon developed by the Gungans, energy balls were just that: small blue spheres of coherent energy. They came in various sizes, depending on the target the Gungans were using them against. Each energy ball acted much like the blast from an ion cannon. The energy contained in the blue sphere was dispersed upon detonation, wreaking havoc with electrical systems and severely damaging organic nervous systems. (TPM)
Energy Battery
any multi-cannon laser or ion weapon. (SW)
Energy Binder
this thick band of electromagentic energy is harnessed between two small generators, and is used to keep the opposing engines of a pod racer from flying off in opposite directions. While generally harmless when compared to the rest of the pod’s components, a body part caught in the binder’s beam will be rendered numb for hours. (SW1)
Energy Cell
any rechargeable power source. (SW)
Energy Cutter
a starship mechanic's tool. (HSE)
Energy Emittance Baffler
this device, designed and manufactured by Santhe/Sienar Technologies, was a key component of the Empire's early cloaking device technology. Codenamed NOVA, the baffler project was approved by Emperor Palpatine himself. The device was made up of five parts: an emission modifier, a low-energy baffler, an emission analyzer, and energy directional scrambler, and an energy cluster blanket. (ML)
Energy Gate
a static force field used to restrict access to an area. (SW)
Energy Lathe
a machinist's tool found in most spaceport repair shops. (SWR)
Energy Mining
an illegal form of mining in which powerful bursts of energy are used to cut through the rock and locate natural ores and minerals. The discharges produced by the creation of the energy beam as well as from the mining process itself are flung into a planet's atmosphere, where they interact with the planet's natural energies to create huge electrical storms and deadly fallout. It is for this reason that energy mining has been outlawed, since it posed significant threats to a planet's populace. (SME)
Energy Pike
this crude weapon is similar to a force pike, but releases an electrical discharge on contact. (SWJ9)
Energy Shell
this projectile weapon was developed by the Baktoid Armor Workshop for deployment in the AAT battle tank. An energy shell is a contained detonation device wrapped in a protective cocoon of plasma energy. This cocoon allows it to penetrate further before exploding, making it a dangerous piece of artillery. (X1)
Energy Spider
a denizen of the Kessel spice mines, it is a spider that looks like it is made of glass. They apparently are another source of the glitterstim spice, which they also consume and synthesize for use as a webbing to trap the bogeys for food. They use their fangs to impale their victims and drain their life-energy. There rounded bodies are studded with dozens of legs, hundreds of mouths, and literaly thousands of eyes. They are also known as spice spiders. (JS, JASB)
Energy Web Generator
this strange weapon was created by the Aing-Tii monks for use aboard their Sanhedrim starships. The generators produce a network of lightning-like energy that arcs from the weapon and assails its target, much like an ion cannon burst. (KO)
Enfield

the ancient dreadnaught used by Bogga the Hutt as a command ship. Enforcer One was a Core Galaxy Systems Dreadnaught, heavily modified from its stock beginnings. The ship had been decommissioned from the Old Republic's Navy and shipped to the salvage yards at Ord Trasi. Bogga obtained the ship there, and began modifying it. It has a fixed, heavy turbolaser which servde as its primary weapon. The turbolaser had an advanced cooling system that kept the separate power generator and laser actuator from overheating. Sixteen turret-mounted laser cannons supplement the turbolaser, and four tractor beam projectors allow the ship to control smaller ships. Six light tactical fighters are housed in the docking bay. (TOJ, EGV)
Enforcer-class Picket Cruiser

Unfortunately, when Han Solo came to transport Rekkon and his team to Orron III, Engret was left behind. (HSE)
Enhanced-bonding Plating
a special form of exterior plating that allows it to better deflect energy. Stars' End was built from this plating, but it proved to be part of the station's downfall, because the plating helped deflect the explosion at the tower's base, redirecting the force down toward the planet and causing the tower to be shot into the air. (HSE)
EnhanceScan

He was assigned to Commander Briessen, and served as part of Lieutenant Haslam's assault team as a computer operator and pilot. (SWJ10, TFE)
Enna
an Imperial container group destroyed near Kalla VII by Keyan Farlander. (XW)
Ennth
this planet was a colony world which seemed to resist any attempt at settlement. The first colonists established a series of outposts on the world, and soon learned that the planet’s single moon had a wildly elliptic orbit. This orbit brought it close enough to Ennth every eight years for it to skim through Ennth’s atmosphere. This proximity resulted in incredible tidal and seismic stresses that tore the world apart every eight years. The colonists fled to space stations in orbit to survive the devstation, but their strength and will led them to return after the moon had passed and rebuild their settlements. (LO, JUS, SHA)

It was a world of various religious beliefs, each with a strong following. It also had a deep history of glorious deeds and mythical warriors. Palpatine later took control of the world. Following the Battle of Endor, the natives of the planet had planned to secede from the Empire and join the Alliance, but they were overrun by the Pentastar Alignment. The New Republic could not send aid, and the planet was usurped. (SWAJ)

Eol Sha
this a new-formed world of immense seismic activity is located near the Cauldron Nebula. It has only one moon, but the moon's orbit is slowly decaying. It has been estimated that, within a 100 years, it will impact the planet. The planet was settled during the Old Republic, just decades before Palpatine rose to power. The goal was to mine the gases from the nearby nebula, but the planet's instability destroyed that endeavor. The planet's day encompasses 19 standard hours, while its year lasts 326 local days. (JS, JASB)

Adults are also used as beasts of burden, while the young and elderly eopies are useful for consuming the desert weeds that grow up near homes and hydroponics labs. (SW1, GF)
Ephant Mon
this Chevin was known for his mercenary skills. He specialized in gun running, and would sell his wares to just about anyone. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Ephant Mon was involved with two intertwined but equally illegal operations for Jabba the Hutt: the import of high technology to Cerea, and the export of malium from the planet. In the business with Bron, Ephant Mon befriended Maj-Odo-Nomor and his techrat friends in order to gain a measure of popular support while remaining behind the scenes. However, the plan was thwarted by the appearance of Ki-Adi-Mundi, who was searching for his own daughter, Sylvn, as well as Maj. Ephant Mon was forced to transport them to Tatooine, but was stowed away on a cargo ship that contained divvik pupae. The pupae hatched, forcing them to hide in an escape pod. The divviks damaged much of the ship’s control systems in their rage to find flesh, and left the escape pod’s ejection systems disabled. Mon used the presence of Sylvn to lure Ki to their rescue. When the situation turned against him, Ephant Mon jettisoned the escape pod and returned to Jabba’s palace with Sylvn and Twin in chains. They tried to diffuse the situation by leaving the two girls at the mercy of one of Tatooine’s awesome ion storms. The plan was to distract Ki while they covered their tracks. Ki managed to rescue the girls, but Mon and Jabba the Hutt managed to evade capture
. He worked with Jabba several years later, running weapons on one of Glakka's moons. One of Jabba's men had turned them into the Imperial authorities, and Mon and Jabba were forced to fight their way out. They were able to escape, but had to brave chill weather during the night. Jabba wrapped his then-thinner body around Mon, keeping him warm until the night passed and they could get off-world. Since then, Ephant Mon had remained loyal to Jabba for saving his life. Ephant had many offers of employment from Lady Valarian while on Tatooine, but he kept strongly to his loyalties to Jabba. When Luke Skywalker entered Jabba's palace, Ephant Mon was drawn to the young Jedi. Luke appealed to Mon to warn Jabba about his imminent demise, and Mon discovered that he had been following something similar to the Force his entire life. He pleaded with Jabba. but to no avail. Jabba then accused Mon of plotting against him, and spurned the Chevin. Jabba left for the Pit of Carkoon without Mon at his side. The novelization of Return of the Jedi has Ephant Mon in a battle with Ree-Yees aboard Jabba's Sail Barge while Jabba was taking Luke and Han to the Great Pit of Carkoon. Ephant Mon was getting beaten very badly, much to Jabba's pleasure. It is believed that Ephant Mon was killed aboard Jabba's sail barge when it exploded. Mon, upon hearing of Jabba's death, returned to Vinsoth to contemplate the Force and run a few profitable scams on the side. (ROTJ, GG5, TJP, PTR)
Ephemera

Errant Venture
this was the name Booster Terrik used for the Star Destroyer he obtained from the New Republic following the liberation of Thyferra. Formerly known as the Virulence, it was severely stripped of weaponry due to New Republic regulations for civilian ships. The interior of the vast ship was refitted to create a bazaar-like atmosphere, completely with food courts, multiple shopping levels, and several discretely-hidden conference rooms. The ship was a continual troublespot for Booster, as he tried to run it with a minimal crew and operations staff. Several systems, including weapons and turbolifts, were constantly under repair. Booster hired 200 Verpine technicians to upgrade the ship to workable order, a task which took them more that seven months to complete. Part of the ship's interior was gutted and formed into three entertainment and commercial levels - Black, Blue, and Diamond Levels - to cater to the wide variety of customers Booster attracted. He maintained a strong security force made up of humans and Weequays.
During the Caamas Incident, Booster reluctantly agreed to let Garm Bel Iblis use the Venture in a raid on the Imperial archives at Yaga Minor, in an effort to obtain a copy of the Caamas Document. Bel Iblis believed that the Venture could get close to the planet because none of its identification codes were known to the Empire, and he maneuvered Booster into agreement by claiming that the resulting civil war - which would begin if the Document weren't recovered soon - would series hamper his ability to do any business. Booster got a measure of revenge on Bel Iblis, though, because Bel Iblis was forced to upgrade the weapons and shields get them up to Imperial standards, and Booster was allowed to keep them. He even got a new paint job. In order to get the Venture close enough to Yaga Minor, Bel Iblis used ID codes from the Star Destroyer Tyrannic, which hadn't been seen in several months. This proved to be the flaw in their plans, since Moff Disra and Grodin Tierce knew that the Tyrannic was cloaked and hiding near Bothawui. (BW, SOP, IJ, VOF)Ersheg

They had hoped to use the stone to return to the Old Republic and prevent the rise of Emperor Palpatine and the destruction of Alderaan, much as Vader had predicted. His forced were attacked by Meeka Reen's guerillas, who took Luke and Leia as their own prisoners. They learned that the crystal was housed on Adony Station, and raced to recover it before Darth Vader could beat them to it. Unfortunately, Vader had rigged the vault to explode when opened, in an effort to kill Luke and Leia. The vault exploded, catching all three of them. They managed to escape, but the crystal and much of Adony Station were destroyed. (CSWDW)

Etherway
a Harkners-Balix 903, dubbed "the Flying Hatbox" by Mara Jade. It is owned by Talon Kaarde, and used by Fynn Torve on his missions to Abregado. The ship was impounded on Abregado when Han and Lando arrived to try and locate Talon Kaarde, and Torve left it there to fly with Han and Lando in the Falcon. Later, Wedge Antilles had it moved and pretended to be its owner to get in touch with Mara Jade. (HTTE, DFR)
Ethnic Architectural Forms of the Tion Hegemony
this publication regularly highlighted the various forms of architecture found on inhabited worlds of the Tion Hegemony. (ML)
Ethromite
this is one of the minerals used to create fusion reactions in starship power generators. (GOF9)
Etnam
this Imperial Admiral was Captain Grendahls' commanding officer, and was in charge of the operation to recover Adalric Brandl. (TFE)
Ettarue Arm
this is one of the many arms which spiral out from the center core of the known galaxy. (TA)
Etti IV
a planet in the Corporate Sector which is supposedly open to general trade. It is the seat of the Corporate Sector Authority's power, but has no exportable resources. It is located on a major trade route within the Corporate Sector. It is also where Han Solo pays off Ploovo 2-for-1 with a dinko. Etti IV is also one of the primary entry-point worlds to the Corporate Sector. (HSE, CSA)
Etti Lighter
this Corporate Sector Authority light transport ship was originally designed for hauling cargo, although it has been recently modified to use as a patrol and interdiction craft for deployment to backwater systems. The Lighter measures 125 meters in length, and has a crew of 25, with 13 gunners and room for 15 passengers. It is armed with ten quad-laser cannons and a tractor beam emplacement, and can transport up to 400 metric tons of cargo.
Several Etti lighters were sold on the black market to the Skandrei Bandits, who modified them for piracy and raiding. (CSA, KO)Ettyk, Halla
this Alderaanian was a prominent criminal prosecutor on her homeworld. She was off-planet trying to depose a witness when the Death Star destroyed it, and joined the Alliance shortly afterward. She became a member of Airen Cracken's counterintelligence staff, and rose through the ranks to become a Commander for the Alliance and, later, the New Republic. When Tycho Celchu was brought to trial for the death of Corran Horn, the 34-year-old Ettyk was chosen as the state's prosecutor. She took the job immediately, even though she hadn't prosecuted a case in seven years. Her case against Celchu seemed air-tight, until Corran Horn escaped from the Lusankya and revealed the traitor within Rogue Squadron was not Celchu. Ettyk dropped the charges and made her apologies to Celchu. (KT)
Eurrsk Thri'ag
this Bothan male, a native of the planet Bothawui, was one of the first pilots to make the grade and serve with Wraith Squadron. Among the members of the squadron, he was known as "Grinder." He distinguished by his silvery fur, and became the squadron's code-slicer and one of the best of their practial jokers. In the battle that destroyed the Implacable over Ession, Grinder took a laser blast from the dying Star Destroyer and was killed. (WS)
Euvae Mountains
this range of mountains found on the planet Carosi XII completely rings the planet. (PG2)
EV-series Droid
this series of supervisoer droids was manufactured by Merendata. They were humanoid in form, with long, bullet-shaped heads. (MTS)
EV-9D9 (Eve-Ninedeenine)
this thin, bullet-headed Merendata Supervisor droid was programmed as a female. It had a number of strange programming quirks and manufacturing problems that led to EV-9D9's eventual control of her own systems. One such manufacturing flaw was the addition of a third optic sensor. Later, she rewired herself to become more self-sufficient and more intelligent. As these changes continued, she grew to wonder what it would be like to have feelings, like an organic. She continued to rewire herself, in search of the perfect program to allow her the sensation of feelings. She then set out to wreak havoc across the galaxy, stopping at one time on Cloud City. There, she was emplyed by Lando Calrissian as chief of security, a position that Lando had not filled due to the tight staffing problem he had just keeping the station operative. She was discovered by Sarl Random, and sabotaged many of the station's systems and destroyed nearly a quarter of its droids before stealing a Mining Guild cutter and escaping. She fled, and years later she turned up on Tatooine, in Jabba the Hutt's service as the Chief of Cyborg Operations for Jabba. She built hreself a workroom under the palace, a place where she continually tortured droids in an effort to feeling their pain and anguish. There, she discovered that she had feelings of paranoia stemming from her actions throughout the galaxy. These feelings were heightened when C-3PO and R2-D2 came to the palace and almost willingly accepted their fate. Her fears were realized when 12-4C-41 found her in her personal workshop. The 12-series droid had tracked her from Cloud City, seeking to "balance the equation" of destruction she had caused. She resigned herself to her fate, and prepared to relish the feelings and sensations brought on by death. However, 12-4C-41 deprived her of it by removing her third optic sensor and her pain simulator. He then released all of her captives, and they dismembered her until she was no longer functional. (ROTJ, TJP)
EV-9D92
this second generation administrative droid was descended from the prototype EV-9D9. He headed the droid torture chamber on Telti, which was run by Brakiss. EV-9D92 was said to be twice as ruthless as its predecessor, a fact not lost on Cole Fardreamer, who was brought to EV-9D92 when Brakiss caught him on Telti. Cole managed to escape with the help fo R2-D2 and C-3PO, who had rallied the other droids against not only EV-9D92, but the Red Terror as well. (TNR)

this Corellian Engineering ion drive is basically a scaled-down military drive that was produced for commercial sale. They were close enough to Imperial military standards that the Imperial Space Ministry required a permit for operation during the New Order. (GG6)
Evakmar
this corporation worked with the Kuat Drive Yards to produce a series of transport vessels that were used by the Empire. (ISB)
Evanrue
one of the Republic's Escort Frigates, it collided with one of the cloaked asteroids during Thrawn's attack on Coruscant. (TLC)
Evar Orbus
the former leader of the Max Rebo band, Evar Orvus was the band's Letaki headsman. It was Orbus who bought Droopy McCool, then Snit, and added him to the band. When the band was hired to perform in Mos Eisley, the local Bith band intercepted them at the spaceport and attempted to hijack them. Evar became angry, and tried to kill the Bith. He used a blaster that he had hidden in a false tentacle, but only managed to get the band into more trouble. In the ensuing firefight, Evar Orbus was killed by a stray blaster bolt. (TJP)
Evas VI
this planet is the homeworld of the Pliith race. (SWAJ)
Evax
this Imperial Intelligence officer had the uncanny ability to predict the movements of enemy fleets. He served on the first Death Star as a starship combat coordinator, and was killed when the Death Star was destroyed. (CCG2)
Evazan
the misshapen human who attacked Luke in the Mos Eisley cantina, Evazan was wanted in 12 or more star systems for the deaths of his patients. Evazan was a self-styled doctor, and offered to help many people by offering inexpensive surgery. Although no one know if Evazan ever obtained a true doctoral degree, his movement from planet to planet helped him gain more and more victims. Evazan was searching for immortality, and was hoping that his patient's insides would point him on a path to discover it. He hooked up with Ponda Baba around this time. His legacy of victims led him to be pursued by Jodo Kast, who nearly caught up to him in the Corellia System. Evazan managed to escape, but not before one of Jodo Kast's blaster shots caught him in the face. Evazan was scarred for life. Evazan and Ponda Baba fled Corellia to hide out on Tatooine, where he set up the Cutting Edge Boutique. Evazan used the boutique to continue his search for immortality until he encountered Luke Skywalker in the Mos Eisley cantina. After he and Ponda Baba barely survived their encounter with Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber, Evazan made a breakthrough: he believed that the mind, not the body, was the key to immortality. He and Ponda Baba fled to Ando, where Ponda Baba helped set Evazan up in a large castle laboratory, under the assumption that Ponda Baba would be the first beneficiary of Evazan's new mind-transferrence technique. Evazan used a stolen Imperial transmogrifier to transfer the mind of one individual to another, discarding the old body and the replaced mind. His device worked, but in reverse, displacing Ponda Baba's mind with that of an Andoan senator. (MTS, TME)

Evocar
a huge planet in the Y'Toub system, it was the natural home of the Evocii race until it was discovered by the Hutts as they fled Varl. Once the Hutts took over, they renamed the planet Nal Hutta. (DESB)
Evocii
this race of primitive humanoids evolved on the planet Evocar, and were content with their feudal society. When the Hutts arrived and began trading them technology for the use of land, the Evocii were captivated by the new things the Hutts brought. They were so enrapt with the technology that they failed to see that the Hutts were buying the planet out from underneath them. By the time they realized their error, it was too late. The Hutts had moved in, built their palaces and theme parks, and renamed the planet Nal Hutta. The Evocii were given temporary refuge on the planet's fifth moon, then renamed to Nar Shaddaa, but the Hutts treated them as little more than slaves. The Evocii, thus robbed of their heritage and their homes, devolved in the depths of the spaceport. (DESB)
Evona
according to Hutt legends, Evona was the sister star to Ardos until it was consumed by a black hole. Hutt legends say that Ardos was in love with Evona, which was a sister star that made up a binary system. The two lovers had many children, which were the various planets of the system. When Evona was sucked into a black hole along with several planets, Ardos became angry and miserable at the loss of his loved ones. Ardos self-destructed, throwing off a huge radioactive mantle of gas, and reducing itself to a white dwarf. The ejection of radioactive matter destroyed many of the remaining planets, leaving only the Hutt homeworld of Varl. Scientists from the Old Republic and Empire believe that this story is a mere legend, and that the Hutt's destroyed much of their system in an ancient civil war. (GG4)
EWHB-10
MerrSonn's heavy repeating blaster, it has been nicknamed the "E-Web." EWHB stands for Emplacement Weapon, Heavy Blaster; this indicates that the weapon is fairly mobile, but must be rigidly mounted in order to counteract the effects of its incredible firepower. It is powered by a portable Eksoan power unit, and it cooled by the Gk3 Cryocooler for continuous firing. (ISB)
Ewok
a diminutive race of furry creatures on the Forest Moon of Endor, they resemble teddy bears. They have large, bright eyes, small black noses, and hands which possess two fingers and an opposable thumb. Although they have no true technology, they have developed a highly developed civilization based on various mechanical devices built from tree limbs, bones, and animal hides. They live in the huge trees of Endor, but have farms and fields on the ground. They are friendly by nature, and have cunning minds capable of solving puzzles. They worship a religion based on the legends of spirits living in the moon's giant trees. (ROTJ, EA)
Ewyrin
an alien student of the Force, Ewyrin nearly succumbed to the Dark Side on Dantooine. (RC)
Ewwen
Ido's brother, Ewwen held the position of Mor Glayyd when Han Solo and Fiolla were trying to unravel the Corporate Sector Authority's slavery ring. He was named the Mor Glayyd after his father was poisoned a month or so before Han and Fiolla arrived, as part of the Corporate Sector Authority's plot to cover up their slavery ring. Ewwen has the red-brown henna-colored hair which runs in his family, but is younger and shorter than his sister. The other Mors wanted him brought down, in an effort to reduce the Glayyd clan's power. The Corporate Sector Authority wanted him removed so that he could not implicate them in the slavery ring. So, a plot was put together in which a seasoned gunman named Gallandro, posing as an offworld visitor while working for the Corporate Sector Authority, tried to win Ido's favor at a reception. He feigned anger, and struck her on the face. This was all a plot to goad her brother into a death-duel. Ewwen either had to step down or fight. Either option was preferable to his maintaining the position of Mor Glayyd and spilling the beans on the Corporate Sector Authority's slavery ring. Fortunately, Han Solo intervened on Ewwen's part and made Gallandro back down. Ewwen then told Han and Fiolla everything he knew about the slavery ring. (HSR)
EX-F
this starship was an Imperial weapons and propulsion testbed built at the Black-15 shipyards during the Galactic Civil War. It was a Dreadnaught-scale ship, and was part of the bounty of ships stolen by the Yevetha, and was later renamed the Glory. (BTS, SOL)
Exaltation
this pseudo-religious event was concocted by the Hutts and the t’landa Til, for use in maintaining a calm slave-labor pool on Ylesia. Described to pilgrims as contact with the Oneness, the Exaltation was actually a physical manifestation performed by the t’landa Til. These creatures were able to use a throat pouch to inhale air and expel it in sonic vibrations. The t’landa Til could manipulate the wavelength and force of the vibrations by forcing air over cilia in the pouch, creating inaudible waves that affected the brains of other sentients. In reality, male t’landa Til use the process to stir females into mating readiness when they are in heat. The Exaltation revolved around the pilgrims receiving intense waves of pleasure and serenity from a t’landa Til priest. Over time, the pilgrims became addicted to the Exaltation, and required it every day in order to continue their lives. The Hutts and the t’landa Til were more than happy to oblige, for it kept the pilgrims blind to the true nature of the work they performed. However, it was sometimes boring for them, since the males got no pleasure out of it themselves. (TPS)
Exalted Torcaigne
this crime syndicate was based on the planet Attahox. They made most of their money controlling the export of phosovane salts in the Rimworlds. (CSWDW)

Executive Results
this company served as a front for Syndicate One. On the surface, Executive Results claimed to be used equipment retailers. However, the company actually hired all kinds of mercenaries and freelance businessbeings to transport cargoes across the galaxy for the Syndicate, in the years following the Battle of Endor. Executive Results also outiftted many of the mercenaries it hired, paying for five percent of equipment costs and one-third of fuel and provisions costs. (SWJ8)
Executor
the title given to the seven elite Dark Jedi appointed by Emperor Palpatine to carry out the plans behind Operation Shadow Hand. (DE2)
Executor
the Super-class Star Destroyer used as Darth Vader's flagship, the Executor was the first in a long line of fearsome warships that descended from the Imperial-class Star Destroyer. There are many rumors surrounding the construction of the Executor: Many claim that the ship was built at the shipyards of Fondor, while others contend it was built by an unspecified Kuat Drive Yards facility. However, the true Executor was built at Fondor. The Kuat ship was built under the same name, but was later renamed Lusankya when it was launched. Equally enigmatic is the Executor’s construction period. The only real knowledge is that the ship was turned over to Darth Vader between his escape from the Battle of Yavin and the Battle of Hoth. The plans to the huge ship were stolen by Luke Skywalker and Tanith Shire, but revealed no weaknesses to Alliance technicians
. The ship’s name was given by Vader on its maiden voyage, as it destroyed the Alliance outpost on Laakteen Depot while en route to Yavin 4. Its first commander was executed by Vader for failing to complete a mission to eradicate the Massassi Base. It was then placed under the command of Admiral Ozzel, during the search for the Alliance leading up to the Battle of Hoth. It was Ozzel who brought the fleet out of hyperspace too far out from Hoth, alerting the Alliance to the fleet's presense. Vader executed Ozzel on the spot, and promoted Captain Piett to Admiral, and commander of the ship. Following a number of victories over the Alliance, the Executor was finally destroyed during the Battle of Endor, when a concerted attack by Alliance pilots disabled the ship. Without steering and navigation, it plowed into the surface of the second Death Star and exploded. (ESB, ROTJ, CSW, DESB, BW)

Exmoor
this vast estate was owned by Doman Beruss. The family estate of the Beruss clan, it occupied a large section of Imperial City on Coruscant, some 300 kilometers southwest of the Imperial Palace. It was essentially a walled city, containing two parks, a forest, a meadow surrounding a small lake, and twenty-one huge buildings. Among the focal points of Exmoor is Illodia Tower. The primary residence consists of seventy rooms, and it occupied by no fewer than 30 members of clan Beruss at any time. (TT)
ExO
the title given to the highest-ranking officer in the Corporate Sector Authority, the ExO runs the Direx Board. The ExO originally made decisions based on consultation with the Direx Board, but the ExO has recntly been given final authority to act without consulting the Diredx Board. The ExO is chosen from a number of candidates who come from outside the ranks of the Direx Board, thus ensuring that corporations cannot suddnyl gain control of the Direx Board. The candidates usually are selected from the current crop of Viceprexes. The ExO serves until death or a no-confidence vote from the Direx Board which is seconded and ratified. (CSA)
Exo
this was the legendary world prophesied by Deamos Na-Coth. It was an ancient paradise hidden somewhere in the galaxy. (KO)
Exobiology Institute
this biological research institution is located on Coruscant. (SOL)
Exocron
this world is the primary planet in the Exocron System, located in the Kathol Outback and hidden within a gas cloud. Much of the population of the Outback is unaware of the existence of Exocron, since it is located within a nebula of gases that interfere with most sensor systems. Most star maps of the Outback fail to show Exocron, which is just as well for the planet's inhabitants. The planet was originally settled by colonists of the Cabal, who fled the hypocrisy and "plastic society" of the Core Worlds during the early time of the Old Republic to find the world of Exo. Their ship, the Exocros Cabal, was damaged in an asteroid storm, and wandered the galaxy until it found Exocron. The planet was named for their ship, and the colonists destroyed their ship and set up a guardian force to keep it safe for future use. In the meantime, the majority of the colonists began living off the land and keeping to themselves. The guardians became known as the Devisors, and became the upper of two social castes. Any new technology had to be approved by the Devisors before it could be made available for general use. The splitting of the social structure was not easy, though, and many small battles erupted between factions who wanted more control or more freedom. A series of unification wars swept the planet in the years just prior to the Battle of Yavin, re-establishing the position of the Devisors. Jorj Car’das retired to Exocron after running into the Aing-Tii monks. (SOP, KO)
Exocron Combined Air-Space Fleet
this was the second generation of the Exocron Airfleet, as it grew to include the protection of the space surrounding Exocron, and not just the immediate atmosphere. It was still commanded by Horzao Darr, some fifteen years after the Battle of Endor. (VOF)
Exocros Cabal
this ancient colony ship was commissioned by Deamos Na-Coth and The Cabal to search for the legendary planet of Exo. The colonists consisted of some 2,000 beings whose families believed deeply in Na-Coth's writings and teachings. When the ship emerged from hyperspace into a stray asteroid storm, it was severely damaged. The captain and much of the crew were killed, and the colonists splintered along varying interpretations of Na-Coth's writings. The ship continued to function, though, and was pursued by pirates. Finally, the surviving engineers aboard took control of the situation and decided to find a planet that was far from the pirate lanes and safe enough to live on. They eventually found the planet Exocron, which was named for the ship. (KO)
Exodeen
this planet is the homeworld of the Exodeenian race. (TNR)

Exozone
an insectoid bounty hunter on Nar Shaddaa, he helped Boba Fett and Dengar track down Han and Leia when they were on the planet. (DE1)
Expansion Region
an area of the galaxy once known for its manufacturing plants and heavy industry under the Old Republic, it was originally an experimental sector governed by the corporations working in it. Many of the corporations working their began to take liberties with the worlds they owned, abusing the populace and stripping entire worlds of their natural resources. When word of these atrocities reached the ears of the Old Republic, control of the area was turned over to the Senate. Many of the corporations balked at this, for it reduced the role of the corporations in governing the systems. In order to placate the corporations, the Old Republic set aside a group of uninhabited systems in the Region for use by the corporations, and thus the Corporate Sector was born. This area of the galaxy was responsible for much of the growth experienced in The Slice. It has been in an economic decline ever since, although the Corporate Sector continues to bring in huge profits. (RPG, CSA)
Expansion Week
a holiday celebrated throughout Tapani Sector, Expansion Week comes just before the upper class Capital Season. (LE)
Expansionist Period
a time of galactic exploration just prior to the birth of the Old Republic, the Expansionist Period quickly followed the invention of stardrives which allowed people to quickly travel between planets. The Expansionist Period reached its height following the invention of the hyperdrive, and led directly into the formation of the Old Republic. (HSL)
Expeditious
a Carrack-class light cruiser assigned to Kirtan Loor. (XWN)
Exploding Star
a ride found at Hologram Fun World, it simulates a trip through extremely hot, exploding supernovas. (QE)
Explorer
this is Hydrospeare’s submergible exploration vehicle. The Explorer was designed at the request of the Empire, which was looking for an amphibious assault vehicle. The Hydrospeare design was unable to create a craft which was swift underwater while mobile on land, so the Empire funded the underwater piece. The 9.1-meter long craft is only 6 meters in height, and much of that is in the legs. This meant that the crew space was minimized, making operation close and cramped. The Explorer was propelled on six legs, and was armed with a turret-mounted Arakyd 5-XV cannon and a Taim & Bak SC4 cannon. A Siep-Irol SensAll sensor array provided data about the Explorer’s surroundings. (CFG)
Explorer

Explorer Craft
a small, jet-like craft used by Han Solo and Chewbacca on the Millennium Falcon. (WSB)
Explorer Droid
any droid that was manufactured to enter unknown territory and determine its inhabitability. LesTech built a number of explorer droids during the Old Republic. These droids were equipped with seismic sensors, motive sensors, electromagnetic sensors, infrared and visual sensors, two manipulatory arms, and a specimen hopper. The LesTech explorer moved about on treads, and stood about 1.3 meters tall. These droids were sent to a planet's surface in a remote shuttle, and were often destroyed while surveying hostile worlds.

this was the name of the Bothan fire fighting team stationed in Drev'starn, on Bothawui. (VOF)
Eye of Palpatine
the specially-designed starship Eye of Palpatine was basically a huge dreadnaught hidden inside an asteroid-like shell. The moon-sized craft could travel hyperspace until it neared a target, then drop into normal space. It would then swing into the destination system as a piece of space debris. It automated firing controls could then unleash a huge gout of firepower, capable of destroying an entire planet. In overall length, the ship was larger than a Super-class Star Destroyer.
As part of the mission of the Eye, special stromtrooper squadrons were dropped on hostile worlds in the Outer Rim Territories and told to await pick-up by the new starship. They were never told what to expect, let alone that the Emperor Palpatine himself was the only personal holding all the cards.
When the Jedi Knights discovered Palpatine's plans for the Eye of Palpatine, they sent Callista and another Jedi to disabled the craft. Callista sacrificed herself to the ship's automated defenses as the other Jedi escaped. She then used the Force to lock herself into the computer's automated firing controls. In this position, she was able to counteract The Will of the ship and keep it from being reactivated by incoming Imperials by destroying any approaching ships.
Over the years, with Palpatine's involvement as Emperor and his death at Endor, the various stormtrooper groups died or were killed by indigenous life. Callista remained resident in the firing control section of the computer core.
When Luke Skywalker, Cray Mingla, and Nichos Marr went to the Moonflower Nebula, they activated the Eye's proximity alarms, and Callista fired on them, stranding them on Pzob. This somehow set off the Eye's seek-and-recover systems, and it wnet about its preprogrammed mission. However, it could only collect native life-forms, not the stormtroopers it should have. Various life-forms were then subjected to the Eye's brainwashing indocatrination and turned into stormtroopers. The brainwashing included the implanting of false images portraying the Jedi Knights as murderers and plunderers. (COJ)
Eye of Shiblizar
this old Ulig Abaha Dimel attack ship was modified by Zlarb and Magg for use as a slave transport. Magg was able to locte it through Espo channels from his Corporate Sector Authority offices. Measuring 95 meters in length, the Eye of Shiblizar could carry up to 660 metric tons of cargo. Its cargo bays were also capable of carrying up to three pinnaces, which would account for 60 metric tons of cargo. The ship was modified to including heavier weapons and a more modern drive system. It is armed with ten double-laser cannons, an ion cannon, and a tractor beam projector. Slaves were never actually delivered with the Eye of Shiblizar, however. Zlarb and Magg would rendezvous at a pre-arranged location with a ship they would "hijack." The slaves carried in the Eye's holds would be transferred to the "hijacked" ship, which would be released once it was loaded. Zlarb and Magg would then move off to pick up their next load of slaves. The Eye of Shiblizar was manned by a crew of 23, with 43 gunners and a security force of 34 troopers. (CSA)
Eye of the Needle
this section of Beggar's Canyon on Tatooine is a narrow slot-shaped canyon filed with jagged, tooth-like rocks. (SE)
Eye-flower Seaweed
this animated oceanic plant is found on the planet Hapes. The fronds of the plant lay motionless in the water until a boat or animal stumbles into them. Then, large red flowers seem to bloom from the plant, opening to reveal eyes. The eyes help the primitive mind locate the intruder, and the seaweed uses the talons which stud its fronds to catch the prey.

The two were married on the same day that Imperial stormtroopers destroyed a Jawa sandcrawler and the Lars homestead in search of R2-D2 and C-3PO.
