Ugnaught
a race of small, piglike creatures known for their mechanical abilities, the ugnaughts are native to the planet Gentes. There, the ugnaughts grew to become strong, efficient creatures, able to withstand a great deal of discomfort. However, the planet's hostile environment forces them to move elsewhere. Many tribes of ugnaughts were also stolen and sold or leased as slaves. One of the nearest planets to Gentes is Bespin, where they have become an integral part of the society on Cloud City. Ecclessis Figg purchased three tribes of ugnaughts and gave them the daunting task of building Cloud City. If they could do this, Figg agreed to give them their freedom and a place to live in the floating city. Of course, the ugnaughts agreed, and they worked extra hard to make Cloud City a wonderful place to live. They chose for themselves a series of lower city levels, creating burrows and tunnels to mimic the environs of their homeworld. The ugnaughts are great storytellers, and much of their history is collected and passed on in long tales.
When the Empire took control of the station, the ugnaughts were left behind. They resented the Imperial presence on the station, and began rebelling against it. They caused all sorts of damage, and even tried to incapacitate Lobot so that the Empire couldn't use him to interface with the city's central computer. As a last resort, the ugnaughts began planting bombs around the outpost, and planned to set them off when Lando returned to the city and repaired Lobot. Together, they disarmed the bombs and forced the Imperials off the outpost. The ugnaughts were once again returned to the free status they desired. The chief Ugnaught was portrayed by Jack Purvis in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. (ESB, JS, WEG, ISU, EGC)
Ugor
a race of intelligent, single-celled creatures who came from a splendid world of incredible natural resources found in the Paradise System. The short-sighted Ugors quickly consumed all that the planet could offer, and they turned the planet into a toxic garbage dump. The Ugors, rathering than perishing the garbage they had created, adapted to life in the pollution. They moved off the planet, and began taking apart the planet in their home system in an effort to obtain more and more natural resources. They move about by exuding a series of pseudopods from their bodies, or by encapsulating themselves in special environment suits. Each of the pseudopods has a specific task - communication, movement, et cetera. The brain of the Ugor is located in the center of their body, and is made up of a huge number of molecular structures similar to brain cells in most humanoids. While limited in their abilities, the molecules have a faster access time than normal brain cells. Also, since each molecule has a specific function, Ugor brains are also quite adaptable. They seem to worship garbage and junk, and have gone so far as to persuade the Empire to allow them first access to all Imperial garbage. They consider other scavengers, such as the Squibs, to be business rivals that need to be eliminated. The Ugors tried to stop the Squibs from procuring a gravity-well projector during the Galactic Civil War, a device which the Squibs had plannde to loan to the Alliance for use in dragging the Elusive out of hyperspace. (GG4, SH)
Ugor Battle Wagon
this huge, doughnut-shaped warship was equipped with outdated autoblasters, pseudosonic beamers, and G-type rotolasers.

Uhl Eharl Khoehng
this great, Old Corellian tragedy is generally regarded as one of the greatest in all the galaxy. It was first performed some 500 years before the Battle of Yavin. The title comes from the Old Corellian term, khoehng, which means king. The word eharl is a Socorran mythological term which refers to an elf or trickster. Thus, the translation of the title into Basic yields "The Trickster King." The story of the play begins with the death of a king and his handsome young son. It opens on a distant world, where the son must take the throne once occupied by his father. The son - known as the Edjian-Prince - decides to expand his father’s holdings and orders much of the surrouding forest cut down. When the woodsmen fail to return, and no trees are felled, the Prince’s subjects begin to whisper of uhl eharl khoehng, and the Edjian-Prince begins trying to contact him. He sends messengers into the forest with invitations, but none of them ever return. The people begin to rebel against the Edjian-Prince’s follies, until he orders his soldiers to drive them all into the forest. No one, not the subjects or the soldiers, ever returns. The Edjian-Prince is left with just his aging hunt servant, and the prince then sends the old man into the forest, in a last-ditch effort to locate the trickster king. When the old man also fails to return, the Prince barricades himself within his castle walls, but uhl eharl khoehng was too smart for that. The trickster invaded the Prince’s dreams and bade him to come into the forest, promising safe passage and a discussion of peace. The Prince awoke and travelled into the forest, hoping to restore his kingdom. However, uhl eharl khoehng tricked him, and although he was never hungry or thirsty, the Prince was forced to travel through an unending labyrinth of trees during a ten-year search for the trickster king. At one point, the spirit of the huntsman appeared to the Prince and told him that the trickster king had turned all the people of the kingdom into trees, unable to move or speak. The Prince was led to the edge of the forest, where he encountered the Eharl Khoehng for himself. The Prince was given a choice - to worship the Eharl Khoehng and have his kingdom returned, or die. The Edjian-Prince went mad, running back into the forest and setting fire to the trees, claiming that the burned-out trees and blackened soil were "...the only kingdom I deserve to rule, and the only kingdom that the Eharl Khoehng can claim." He then submitted himself to the Eharl Khoehng and mutters the famous last line, "Long ... live ... the king." (SWJ8)

this man joined the Imperial Academy at the age of 17, not because he was smart or strong but because of an influential uncle within the military. After barely graduating, he was assigned to a demolitions squad which ordered into battle behind the lines in Alliance territory. He suspected that his commanding officers detested him because he got into the military because of his uncle, and that they were trying to kill him off. Seeing that he needed to get a quick promotion in order to survive in the military, Ulcane locked his entire team in a warehouse owned by the Alliance and destroyed it. Not only did he receive commendations for taking out a strategic enemy site, he was awarded for his bravery in surviving the assault when the rest of his team didn’t. Ulcane managed to make several more upward movements within the military, although each promotion was accompanied by strange or unusual circumstances. He became a student of aline cultures during this time, primarily because he was treated as an outsider by his peers. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Captain Ulcane escaped a mutiny aboard his own ship and fled to the Outer Rim Territories. There, he met another Imperial officer, and together they formed the Kaarenth Dissension. It was their goal to incite all the alien races of the Outer Rim against the fledgling New Republic.
