The mobile plants are actually drones which are spawned to bring food to a mother plant, but they have no true intelligence. They act solely on environmental stimuli. The mother plant is a noturnal bloomer, and is incapable of movement. The mother is quite large, appearing to be a ball-shaped mouth filled with tooth-like thorns. It is anchored to the gorund by six short taproots and a network of thinner roots. The plant has an averge life cycle of about two standard weeks. (KO)

Fef
a moderately large planet orbiting a yellow-orange star, Fef has a thick, hot atmosphere which supports a wide variety of life. Most of the lifeforms have short lifespans, though. The huge trees that make up Fef's forests grow to over 100 meters in height in 20-30 years, then die and decompose in a matter of weeks. Fef is the homeworld of the swarming insectoid Fefze. (GG4)
Fefze
an insectoid race native to the planet Fef, they are one of the truest forms of hive intelligence found in the galaxy. They exist in group minds of 10-100 individuals, sometimes called swarms. These swarms are the primary building block of Fefze society, and when considered as a swarm, the Fefze are are quite intelligent. However, taken individually, Fefze are no more intelligent than any other insect. Individuals known enough to eat, avoid danger, and reproduce. The Fefze eat by covering their food - any organic material is edible to them - with a digestive acid, then lap up the resulting paste. This acid is also used as a defense mechanism, because a Fefze can regurgitate the paste when attacked and flee. The attacking creature usually stops to eat the paste, rather than expend energy chasing the Fefze. Fefze individuals have limited dexterity. Fefze swarms are created from the individuals born from a single egg globule, which contains hatchlings from several different parents. A swarm's highest priority is recruiting new hatchlings, and a given swarm can exist for thousands of years this way. New hatchlings are obtained during the Fefze dance swarm, and tourists often come to Fef to view it. (GG4)

this tall, black-haired woman was one of the most powerful criminal figures on the planet Cotellier. Cunning and devious, Fek'ra is a beautiful woman with deep green eyes. She worked for a mysterious crimelord, although she steadily put together enough knowledge and resources to start her own operation should fate allow her the opportunity. She was one of Yosger's chief rivals, and hoped to obtain the data stored in the computer systems of the Smoking Blaster before Yosger did. She managed to get the crew of the Smoking Blaster under her control and obtained the location of Yosger's base on Carz. She then paid the mercenary crew to take her to Carz and apprehend Yosger. (GMH)
Fel, Soontir
one of the youngest Imperial Navy officers to obtain the rank of Captain and command a ship, Fel was everything one would expect from a recruiting poster. Broad-shouldered and handsome
from years of working as a farmer, Fel was a native of Corellia and had come through the ranks as a decorated and legendary TIE Fighter pilot. However, he did not enter the Imperial Academy willingly. Instead, he was bribed into go in order to stop him from testifying against Ilir Post. This took him away from the farming that he loved so much, but he was determined to make the best of the situation. After graduating with honors, Fel earned command of the Pride of the Senate shortly before the Battle of Nar Shaddaa, and was quite puzzled by Admiral Greelanx’s battle plans. They did not allow for any flexibility during the battle, while executing the Base Delta Zero order to the letter. Fel had never participated in such an exercise, and questioned the wisdom of decimating Nar Shaddaa. However, the battle was quickly upon him, and the minimal battle plan outlined by Greelanx - coupled with the surprising ability of the smugglers to damage the Imperial fleet - soon resulted an Imperial retreat. Fel, appalled at the losses and at Greelanx’s orders to retreat, remained behind to retrieve as many of his pilots as he could before redezvousing with the fleet. Greelanx was angry with Fel’s insubordination, but Fel resolved to report Greelanx’s poor planning to his superiors. He was assigned to the 37th Imperial Fighter wing, and became one of the Empire's most feared starfighter pilots. After receiving high honors, Fel became an instructor. He actually was responsible for the training of Tycho Celchu, Biggs Darklighter, and Hobbie Klivian. After the defection of Darklighter and Klivian, Fel was demoted and assigned to 181st Imperial Fighter Wing. They scored a hollow victory at about the same time as the Battle of Yavin, and Fel was again moved, this time to Coruscant. There, he met Wynssa Starflare, and they fell deeply in love. Shortly afterward, Fel became known to Ysanne Isard, who challenged his loyalty by trying to seduce him. He refused, and although she praised his loyalty, she also hated him. Fel saw through Isard's ploy and into the heart of the Empire, and didn't like what he saw. He also saw that the Emperor's non-human bias was only as good as the air around it, once Thrawn began to rise through the ranks. Fel, disheartened with the Empire, allowed himself to be captured at the Battle of Brentaal shortly after he arranged for Wynssa - now his wife - to disappear. It was later learned that Fel had joined the forces aligned with Grand Admiral Thrawn, and he spent the next several years working with the true Imperial leadership to eliminate the various warlords who claimed Imperial rights. He lost an eye in the final battle of his career, and retired to work with Voss Parck as a commander at the Hand of Thrawn compound on Nirauan. Fel was also the "parent" of a number of clones developed at Thrawn's request. The clones were dispatched to several sleeper cells - excellent pilots awaiting Thrawn's reactivation codes. The clones were flash-imprinted with much of Fel's ability as a pilot and warrior, but without his personality. However, many groups managed to retain his love of the open air and farming, and decided not to heed the recall which came ten years after Thrawn's death. (THG, HXW, VOF)Fel Swoop

Felth, Davin
a member of the Desert Sands stormtrooper unit sweeping Mos Eisley in search of R2-D2 and C-3PO. He was trained at the Imperial facility of Carida, and was among the top recruits in his class. Thus, he was chosen to be one of the first troopers to be assigned to the new AT-AT project, under General Veers. While on a training mission, Davin discovered that the AT-AT was extremely vulnerable due to its long legs. He commanded his walker to "kneel" on all four legs, and was able to defeat all training targets. He reported to Veers that it was possible to "trip" the walker using a cable entwined around its legs, but Veers hid the information in order to advance his own career. When additional stormtroopers were needed to sweep Tatooine in search of the droids, Davin was quickly moved off the AT-AT project and into stromtrooper armor. There, he was assigned to Captain Terrik. (It was Davin who said, "Look, sir. Droids." after the discovery of the droids' escape pod.) However, Davin became increasingly disillusioned with the Empire's regime, having witnessed first-hand the needless destruction of Jawas and Sand People, as well as the wanton execution of the Lars family. The unnecessary execution of Het Nkik pushed Davin over the edge, and when his squadron was ordered to keep the Millennium Falcon from leaving Mos Eisley, Davin shot Terrik in the back, and pretended that he was killed in the crossfire. From then on, he resolved to remain a stormtrooper in order to feed the Alliance key information about the Empire. It is assumed that one of the first informational transfers included the weakness of the AT-AT. (TME, EGC)
Feltipern Trevagg
a Gotal who had filled a number of positions over the years, including bounty hunter, Imperial bodyguard, and ship's security officer. He was working for the City Prefect of the port of Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, as a tax collector when Luke Skywalker and Ben Kenobi booked passage ot Alderaan. In this position, Feltipern had developed many of the taxes charged to native and transients, including a water tax and a port passage tax. This passage tax brought him in contact with M'iiyoum Onith, who lost her seat on the passenger liner Tellivar Lady because she couldn't pay it. Feltipern began lusting for her. He also discerned Kenobi's presence in Mos Eisley by detecting the Force with his head cones, and sought to sell the information to the Empire. In trying to get M'iiyoum into bed, he failed to recognize that she was a H'nemthean, and that the female of her species guts her mate with her knife-like tongue. Feltipern was found dead in the Inn, the morning after the Millennium Falcon blasted out of the spaceport. (TME)

Her family was killed when the Eye of Palpatine was awakened after the Battle of Endor. The Eye attacked her homeworld and destroyed most of the life there. She felt that the New Republic inadequately addressed the threat of the Eye, and held the Republic responsible for her family's deaths. As Dolph's plans unfolded, Femon chafed at his patience. She felt he was being too soft on the Republic, and challenged his goals and methods. Her support of Dolph began to fade, and scoffed at his use of the Force. In his anger, Dolph/Kuellar used the Force to grip her throat and break her neck. (TNR)

Fett, Boba
Boba Fett was at one time the Journeyman Protector Jaster Mereel. There are also rumors that Feet was an extremely dedicated Imperial stormtrooper who, for reasons known only to him, attacked and killed his superior officer. These rumors have never been substantiated. It is known that Jaster Mereel killed a corrupt Protector but was imprisoned for the murder anyway. He was exiled from the planet Concord Down, and found employment as a bounty hunter, learning the skills that would make him a formidable adversayr in the future. In his travels, Boba Fett acquired a full suit of Mandalorian Shock Trooper armor. The unique weapons systems of the armor suited a number of purposes, including enhancement of his arsenal as well as increasing the mystique behind his reputation. He also acquired an old Kuat Systems Engineering Firespray-class ship, which he named Slave-I and had heavily modified.
As his proficiency as a bounty hunter grew, so did his reputation. It grew sufficiently that he was one of the bounty hunters commissioned by Darth Vader to hunt down the Millennium Falcon. This occurred at about the same time as Jabba The Hutt hired him to capture Solo. These two commissions fit together perfectly for Boba Fett, who used his knowledge of Han Solo's background to predict Han's maneuver of floating away with the Avenger's garbage, and tracked the Falcon to Bespin and Cloud City. Boba Fett then took possession of Han's frozen body and returned to Tatooine, only to be intercepted over the desert world by IG-88. In a brief firefight, Boba Fett was able to destroy IG-88's ship, but Slave-I was so damaged that landing on Tatooine would be impossible. So, Fett travelled to the Outer Rim world of Zhar, and landed on Gall. There, he was further beset by bounty hunters, including Zuckuss and 4-LOM, who wanted to steal Solo's body. Fett managed to escape them as well, only to be assaulted by Alliance starfighters from Rogue Squadron. Fett managed to escape them as well, and managed to return Solo to Jabba the Hutt, collecting the large bounty on Han's head to go with his Imperial payment. Jabba the offered him a large sum of money to remain on Tatooine as his personal bounty hunter. Although the work was extremely simple for Fett, he knew that there would be a rescue attempt made on Solo, and he wanted to be there when it happened. After slightly underestimating Leia's disguise as Boussh, Boba Fett's instincts went into overdrive, and he was ready when Luke Skywalker showed up at Jabba's palace. Unfortunately for Boba Fett, when Luke, Han, and Chewie were about to be thrown into the Sarlacc pit, Fett's rocket backpack was accidentally activated by the then-blind Han Solo. Fett careened into the side of Jabba's sail Barge and was knocked unconscious.
Fett was thought to have been killed in the Sarlacc pit, but he re-emerged on Nar Shaddaa, claiming that the Sarlacc found him undigestible. He limped to Nar Shaddaa in a damaged Slave-1, and commandeered a second ship for his use. He designated this ship Slave-II, and was again commissioned by the Hutts, this time to kill Solo once and for all. He almost succeeded at Nar Shaddaa, but was again thwarted. When Han Solo and Princess Leia returned to Nar Shaddaa to take Vima-Da-Boda into custody, Boba Fett again nearly captured Solo, but Chewbacca overpowered him, ripping off his helmet and igniting his rocket-pack. Fett careened into the ceiling of the spaceport's lowest levels and was knocked unconscious. It is believed that he sustained near-fatal head injuries.
Boba Fett was portrayed by Jeremy Bulloch in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. He was also portrayed by Alen Rosenburg for the The Empire Strikes Back Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (ESB, ESBR, ROTJ, MTS, DE1, DE2, DESB, EGC, SSE)

Firespray-31
a 21.5-meter-long starship that was built for a very short time by Kuat Systems Engineering, the Firespray-31 was built for speed and stealth. It's design resembles and elephant's head, with the cockpit and cargo area making up the face and trunk, while the engine area formed the "ears." Two-thirds of the ship's hull area was dedicated to the engines, while accounts for its remarkable speed. It also points out the ship's lack of popularity, as there was limited cargo space. Over the years, these unique vessels have been seen less and less, although some smugglers still use them. These ships have been highly modified. One example of a Firespray-3 in use during the Galactic Civil War was the craft Slave-I owned by the bounty hunter Boba Fett. (MTS, EGV)

also known as the Lava Dragon, this creature can survive the intense heat and pressure of the molten lava it lives in. It is armored by crystallized scales of silicon, and resembles a huge snake with pointed ear tufts made of hard scales. It "breathes" the lava, and is insulated by air bladders that keep it bouyant in the lava. On Eol Sha, Gantoris tests Luke's motives by making Luke walk across a lava pit and confront the fireworm living in it. Luke tried to kill it with his lightsaber, but the fireworm's scales only refracted the lightsaber's beam and deflected it into dozens of smaller light beams. (JS, JASB)
Firith Olan
this Twi’leki individual was rumored to know the location of Jabba the Hutt's secret weapons cache, located somewhere in the Tatooine desert. The black-sheep son of a wealthy Twi’lek family, Olan was a minor crimelord who believed that, following Jabba the Hutt’s death, he could step in and take control of the Hutt’s criminal empire. He had somehow managed to gain control of the brain walker that contained Bib Fortuna’s brain, and took great pleasure in the knowledge that Fortuna retained information about Jabba. In order to obtain the weapons cache, he had to put Huff Darklighter out of business, because Darklighter had learned of its existence. In the midst of this power struggle, Rogue Squadron was sent to discover if the cache existed. Imperial forces were also sent in to retrieve the cache, stored at the so-called Eidolon Base. Olan was captured by Captain Semtin and returned to Ryloth, in an attempt to draw off the Republic’s forces. Semtin later freed him as a way to gain the confidence of the Twi’leki head clans, but caught him again at Eidolon Base. Semtin stabbed Olan before escpaing, and Bib Fortuna’s brain walker took advantage of the situation. Fortuna had been trailing Olan, waiting for just such an opportunity to exact revenge. Fortuna dragged Olan’s body to the B’omarr monks and had them swap brains. Olan was forced to spend the rest of his conscious existence in the brain walker, while Fortuna used his body to try and rebuild Jabba’s empire. (XWBT)

Those that were placed on the colony ships are the only surviving Firrerreo, because Hethrir later turned the planet over to the Empire, which destroyed the ecosystem with a biological weapon. Hethrir had been raiding the colony ships for slaves over the years, until his death at the hands of the being Waru. The Firrerreo have strong clan affiliations, and a fair amount of Force sensitivity. (CS)

Flim
this accomplished actor and impressionist was tapped by Moff Disra for his resemblance to Grand Admiral Thrawn. With a little surgical alteration and judicious use of dyes, Flim was transformed over a two-year period to become the embodiment of Thrawn. Specialized, self-powered surface inserts were created to make Flim’s eyes glow red, and his vocal control allowed him to quiet a room in no time. When the Caamas Incident threatened to tear the New Republic apart, Disra brought Flim out of hiding. Using a series of feints in which no real explanation was given as to Thrawn’s reappearance, Flim man successfully played the role of Thrawn, using his acting ability and as much Imperial history as he could memorize to pull off the role. Flim managed to fool Major Tierce as well as Captain Dorja, both of whom had served under Thrawn. When the Relentless intercepted the Lady Luck, Flim got his chance to portray Thrawn for Lando Calrissian and Porolo Miatamia. As Thrawn, he offered the New Republic the use of his services in the resolution of the Bothan situation.
They took the message back, but it was rejected by the New Republic. Flim continued to act as Thrawn, drawing in many systems to the Empire's side, including the Ruurians and the Kroctari. When Han Solo and Calrissian were discovered on Bastion, Flim got another chance to prove his abilities, portraying Thrawn for both Calrissian and Solo. He offered them a copy of the Caamas Document, and implicated Borsk Fey'lya in the attack on the Combined Clans Building on Bothawui. He then let them go, knowing that the Document he provided them had been doctored to implicate other Bothans in the destruction of Caamas. Flim's act was eventually exposed by Admiral Pellaeon, who revealed not only Flim's background but that of Tierce. Tierce was executed by Shada D'ukal, Disra was exposed as a traitor, and Flim simply surrendered to Pellaeon. (SOP, VOF)Flimsiplast

Female in personality, Flirt was designed to look like one of the quarrels in Chen’s bandolier. Flirt was programmed to talk to a computer installment and insiunate herself into its programming. She was a talkative creation, and loved challenges. This trait allowed her to work hard to infiltrate the computer system of the Hound’s Tooth when Chenlambec and Tinian attempted to trap Bossk. Flirt was able to gain control of several security systems, allowing Chen to scout the ship’s defenses. Flirt later gained control of the Hound itself, after electronically ‘sweet-talking’ it. This allowed Chen and Tinian to overcome Bossk’s built-in defenses and trap him near Lomabu III. After they took control of the Hound’s Tooth, Chen mounted Flirt onto a power-point on the X10-D service droid, giving her a huge, strong body and full-time access to the Hound’s computer system.

one of Commenor's moons, its location in the Commenor System allowed it close access to the Corellian spacelanes. The Alliance had a base there, nestled in the abandoned mines that tunneled through it. Later, following the Battle of Endor, the New Republic used it as a starfighter training facility. It was on Folor that the X-Wing Rogue Squadron was "reborn," thanks to the work done by Admiral Ackbar and Wedge Antilles. The Republic also maintained a false beacon on the other side of the planet, along with a complete mock-up of a base, to throw off attackers and allow an evacuation in case of attack. This false set of beacons was discovered by Gara Petothel, using Morrt droid data, and Apwar Trigit thought he had the base dead to rights. However, when they arrived at Folor, they discovered that the "base" was simply a barren ice plain. (XWN, WS)

He provided this to Bornan Thul, who later disappeared with the datadisk. Fonterrat himself fled Tarkona to the planet Gammalin, where he began spending his tainted credits. When the human population started dying because of the plague, and discovered that Fonterrat was the dource, they locked him in jail. He languished there, and eventually died when his human captors all died of the plague. (TEP)

Fools’ Gold
this large ship - measuring almost a kilometer in length - was part of a two-ship convoy that was bringing a shipment of gems to the Chikarri, in the planet Plagen. The gems were from the Klatooinan Trade Guild, as payment for the right to establish a trading post on Plagen. Both ships were built for the sole purpose of transporting precious cargoes, and their cargo bays were actually huge vaults equipped with the best inertial dampers credits could buy. The hulls were reinforced in order to survive any attack, and the fuel cells were capable of propelling the ships for several centuries. The Fool’s Gold was lost in the Karbonni Asteroid Belt when it was forced out og hyperspace by a rogue asteroid, and it was not seen for several centuries until its existence was discovered by a Chikarri historian, some years after the Battle of Endor. Chiakrri law stated that the ship was the property of whoever found it first, and a race to locate the ship ended when a group of explorers outraced Bruce Mercy and his pirates to it. (TSK)

Force, The
an energy that occurs naturally in the galaxy, it springs from all forms of life. It has two "sides," a good side and a Dark Side,
although this is a great oversimplification of the Force’s existence. It has many sides, including a living element and a unifying element, and it binds all things together in a great web of existence. The Jedi Knights discovered that the Force was accessible to all living beings through the presence of midi-chlorians in their cells. The more midi-chlorians that inhabited a being’s cells, the more the being was able to contact the Force. However, a high concentration of midi-chlorians did not guarantee a being control of the Force. Only through intense study and dedicated training could a being become proficient in harnessing the power of The Force. The Jedi Council discovered that younger beings had an easier time of learning the techniques required to touch and control the Force, and eventually developed a system that actively sought out and identified beings with high midi-chlorian counts at their birth. With the permission of the parents, the Jedi took children no more than one year old away for training. Children and older beings, who had already established a set pattern of mental and physical usage, often were unable to complete the necessary training, and were deemed too wasteful of Jedi resources. The Jedi Knights have historically been the most powerful users of The Force, having trained with and learned the three basic techniques: control (the manipulation of one's internal Force strength), sense (detection of the Force in the external world), and alter (manipulation of matter with the Force). These techniques, used by themselves or in combination, allow the Jedi to perform many different activities with the Force. (SW, HTSB, TPM)

Forest Moon of Endor
the life-supporting satellite of the gas giant Endor, found in the Moddell Sector, the moon of Endor has a widely-varied, temperate climate. (No planet is seen in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, and the Star Wars: Return of the Jedi novelization talks of the planet being destroyed eons ago. However, the Ewoks films definitely show a clouded world around which the moon orbits, and The Truce at Bakura mentions a dead planet. The Adventures of Teebo describes Endor as a planet.) Due to the out-of-the-way location of the planet Endor, its Forest Moon has become something of a desert island in space. Its breathable atmosphere allows nearly any race to land there, in the event their ship gets in trouble while off the normal hyperspace routes. As its name indicated, forests abound on the moon, broken here and there by rocky wastes and small deserts. The moon's low gravity allows the trees to grow to incredible heights. It is the home of many unique species, including the Ewoks and the Marauders. The Empire discovered the out-of-the-way moon, and used it as a construction sight for the second Death Star. The Empire placed a shield generator on the moon to help guard the battle station during its construction; thus, Endor became known as the Sanctuary Moon.
Other sources have described a vast wealth of ores on the moon, which were mined by the Empire. These mining operations were significantly reduced when the New Republic was formed.
The moon has a 18-hour day, and rotates around the sun in about 402 standard days. (ROTJ, DFRSB, EA, BFE, TB, DA, AT, ISU)
Forest of Faithfulness

Forge, Inyri
Lujayne Forge's sister, Inyri was remarkably similar to Lujayne in appearance. She had just as much promise as Lujayne did, but felt that she never got her parents' support in anything. She rebelled, and joined up with Zekka Thyne while he was imprisoned on Kessel. She dyed a forelock of her hair blue, to match the patches on Thyne's skin, and became his lover and his spice cutter. In this capacity, Inyri was responsible for dosing the spice that Thyne was able smuggle into consumable portions. When the Rogue Squadron negotiated with Moruth Doole for the release of Thyne, Inyri went along with him, rather than returning to her parents. She later realized that Thyne was never going to give her the respect she so desperately wanted, and she shot him when he tried to expose the Rogues on Coruscant. (WG)

The native population, some years after the Battle of Endor, overthrew the ruling government, ousting pro-Imperial leaders in favor of a allegiance to the Republic. However, a number of current and former Imperial leaders tried to retake control. The Republic didn’t want the natives of Seltos to feel that it was meddling in their affairs, but it also couldn’t let the Empire regain control of the planet. The agents were secretly transported to the planet and infiltrated the city of Somin City, helping to remove Sinya Deboora and Lieutenant Hensworth from the political scene. (TSK)

Frija
this daughter of Imperial
Governor Torlock was secretly plotting with Trolock’s most trusted advisor, Admiral Droon, to execute her father and take control of the planet Corulag. Torlock suspected that the Alliance was a great threat, and had human replica droids created of himself and Frija. When Torlock learned that Frija and Droon had told Darth Vader that he was a traitor to the Empire, Torlock fled Corulag and activated the droids. The droid Torlock was captured by Droon and Frija and imprisoned, but their plan to execute Torlock was still in motion. Vader had sent Jix to execute Torlock, but he instead encountered the droid Frija. She was about to be destroyed by Droon’s agents, but Jix rescued her and learned of the plots. Jix was eventually captured by Droon, but not before meeting the droid Torlock. Droon and Frija attempted to remove both of them by feeding them to the dragon snakes that live in the caves of Corulag, but they escaped and returned to confront Droon. In the midst of the struggle, Droon shot and killed the real Frija before being captured by Jix. Jix then took Droon and the two human replica droids to Coruscant. He allowed the droids to take a shuttle and flee Coruscant, and they decided to hide out on Hoth.

It is at this function that he threw a drink in Mon Mothma's face. The drink contained a number of nano-destroyers attuned to her genetic structure, and the pilgrimage eventually became obvious as an assassination attempt. Furgan was also involved in a plot to capture Anakin Solo and gain a leg up on Leia Organa and the New Republic. His attempt was foiled when Terpfen, Furgan's Mon Calamari spy, turned on him, and Furgan was killed when Terpfen pushed his MT-AT off a cliff with another of the MT-ATs. (JS, DA, COTF)

Fusion Disintegrator
this device uses a contained reactor to reduce other materials to smaller, nearly atomic particles. They found widespread use in tunneling applications, where dirt and rock must be removed and transported from a dig site. Because of the nature of the machine, though, it can be used to cut through virtually any material. The disintegrator can be used manually, or mounted on a support tripod. (VOF)
Fusion Disk

Fusion Furnace
a small device which generates heat and light, or can generate power for recharging energy cells. (ESB)
Fusion Generator Supply Tanks
these cubical pods are used to store fusion energy, once it has left a generator. They can store the energy for later use, for powering up vehicles and small installations. (CCG)
Fusion Reactor
the most popular source of starship power, cold-ionization fusion reactors fuse matter at room temperature, creating huge amounts of energy without emitting large amounts of heat. The fusion reactor then sends the energy it generates to the cryogenic power cells for storage. These are also safe sources of power, since they employ a well-understood technology at tolerable temperatures. Fusion reactors are a necessity for propelling large starships through hyperspace. (SWSB, TT)
Fusion WeldCut
this welder is roughly the size and shape of a blaster, and emits a narrow stream of fused plasma. The stream is capable of welding two metals together as well as cutting through most metals. It has oversized controls, which allow it to be used by vac-suited repairmen at orbital drydocks. (TA)
Fusion Welder
a small device used to weld two objects together, the fusion welder alters the molecular structure of the two objects at the point which they meet, forming a tight seal. The welder generates an internal fusion reaction, focusing the energy created through its nozzle. Fusion welders are often used to place restraining bolts on droids. They resemble bulky blaster pistols, and used blaster power packs. (CCG, GMH)
Fuzzel
this Commander in the Imperial Armed Forces was stationed on Tatooine during the Galactic Civil War. Fuzzel had managed to arrange a deal with Jabba the Hutt, in which Jabba turned over certain criminals to Fuzzel for their rewards. More often than not, Jabba provided dead criminals, but he still managed to find those beings Fuzzel could not. He was one of the many officers hunting for the criminal Karkas, and Fuzzel intercepted Hoole upon his arrival, after learning that Hoole's ship had left Koda Space Station at the same time Karkas had fled. He let Hoole and his young charges, Tash and Zak Arranda, free after thoroughly searching their ship. Fuzzel later received Karkas' body, although Jabba had removed his brain and stored inside the brain spider droid of a B'omarr monk. Shortly thereafter, Fuzzel was found murdered in a Mos Eisley alleyway, with the letter 'K' carved into ihs forehead. Zak Arranda discovered the body, and believed that his sister, Tash, was responsible for the crime. However, it had just been Tash's body. Jabba had arranged to have Karkas's brain placed into another criminal's body, but the criminal had escaped. So Jabba used Tash as a temporary holder. (GOF7)

Fw'sen-class Picket Ship
this Ssi-ruuvi design is a small combat ship that is piloted by a P'w'eck servant. These fifty-meter long ships require a single P'w'eck pilot, and are extermely fragile. The Ssi-ruuvi engineers opted for shield generators insetad of hull plating on these ships, which means that once the shields are down, the ship is extremely vulnerable. Like most Ssi-ruuvi starships, the Fw'sen-class resembles a pointed egg. However, the Fw'sen-class has four stubby wings for stability. It is armed with top- and bottom-mounted turbolasers and a front-mounted laser cannon. Each Fw'sen-class picket hsip is crewed by 13 P'w'ecks and 6 enteched servant droids. This crew setup, paired with the ship's fragile shielding, allows the picket ships to be expendable while serving the purpose of providing needed support. The ships are piloted remotely by a Ssi-ruuk who has access to special neural inhibitors planted in the P'w'ecks. Twenty Fw'sen-class ships were sent as part of the Bakura invasion fleet. (EGV)

Each of the three continental groups of Fyodoi were in intellectual competiton with each other, until profits and corporate directives got in the way. Small battles began to break out among the three groups, and these battles escalated into a full-scale war. Using the fruits of their technology, the Fyodoi developed weapons of mass-destruction and unleashed them on each other. This war later became known as the Great Cleansing. Soon, the planet Fyodos was reduced to a scarred hulk.The Fyodoi realized that their pride and technology had destroyed the world they loved, and reverted to a primitive society of hunter/gatherers and warriors. The Fyodoi are a loud and boisterous race of stubborn, narrow-minded warriors. (PG2)
Fyodos
this planet, the fourth in the Tatrang System, was a mecca of high technology and beauty until its human population declared war on itself.

this tall, spindly, copper-colored droid was owned by Garris Shrike. Shrike programmed the droid to keep a running tally of the credits brought in by the children who worked for Shrike. Each child was given a territory to work on Corellia, and F8GN’s job was to make sure each child brought in the proper amount. F8GN was in need of repair almost constantly, as indicated by the patchwork of small plates and welds on its body. F8GN’s vocabulator didn’t always work right, and alternated between a metallic shrill and a deep , unctuous boom. F8GN’s eyes were fitted with different colored lenses, giving the droid one red eye and one green eye. (TPS)
