I-7 Howlrunner
Incom's new starfighter, designed for the Empire around the time of Emperor Palpatine's rebirth on Byss. It has been nicknamed for the Kamarian Howlrunner. It resembles a streamlined T-47 airspeeder in shape, being a long, wedge-shaped craft with a rectangular midsection. Little is known about the I-7's performance in battle, although initial engagements during the struggle against the clones of Emperor Palpatine on Byss suggest that has excellent maneuverability and can take a lot of punishment. The ship measures 11.4 meters in length, and is armed with a pair of laser cannons. It was the first major starfighter design to come from the nationalized Incom Corporation, in response to the Kuat Drive Yards A-9 Vigilance Interceptor and the FreiTek E-Wing. (DE1, DESB, DE2, EGV)
I'att, Augusta
this striking woman was Strephan I'att's wife. She and Strephan took in their granddaugther, Tinian, after her parents' deaths, and raised her until adulthood. Just before she and Strephan were killed by Moff Keioth, Augusta contracted a rare degenerative disease that slowly eroded her body. Treatment was expensive, but Strephan spared no expense. (TFE)
I'att, Strephan
Tinian I'att's grandfather, and one of the masterminds behind I'att Armament. He and Daye Azur-Jamin developed a portable energy-dissipation field generator that absorbed an incoming blaster bolt and reduced its energy to a harmless level. He had planned to show it to the Empire's armed forces, but Moff Eisen Kerioth - who had also been working on a way to improve stormtrooper armor - decided to take the device for himself. He scheduled a demonstration, and once he was satisfied with the deivce's efficiency, he murdered Strephan and his wife, Augusta, in cold blood. He failed to execute Tinian, though, and she escaped from Druckenwell with several key components that Kerioth required. (TFE)
I’att, Tinian
the young heiress of the I'att Armaments fortune, Tinian was a native of the planet Druckenwell. It is unknown when or how her parents disppeared, but Tinian was raised by her grandparents, Strephan and Augusta I'att. Daye Azur-Jamin later discovered that Tinian's mother had abandoned her before disappearing.Tinian had free access to the resources of I'att Armament, and learned everything she could about the armament business. By the time she was seventeen, she could identify almost any explosive material by its smell. She was deeply in love with Daye Azur-Jamin, and they were engaged to be married when Moff Kerioth tried to steal I'att Armament's plans for a stromtrooper shielding device. Her grandparents were executed, and Daye helped her get off-planet before destroying the I'att research facility. She became a freelance bounty hunter and tracker, and eventually hooked up with the Wookiee Chenambec. Although her family had kept Wookiees as slaves, she knew that they were an honorable race. She saved his life many times, on Silver Station and at the Kline Colony. (SWJ10, TBH)
I'att Armament
this defense company, located on the planet Druckenwell, created some of the best anti-blaster energy shields during the later years of the Galactic Civil War. Run by Strephan I'att, I'att Armament was planning to develop a shielding device for stormtroopers which involved a small energy-dissipation field generator attached to the backplate. However, Imperial Moff Eisen Kerioth tried to steal the plans for himself. Moff Kerioth killed Strephan, but young Tinian I'att escaped Druckenwell with several key componets of the system, while her lover Daye Azur-Jamin destroyed the I'att research facility. (TFE)
I’Shibix, Quarlo
this swarthy human served Mon Tondievz as the mine supervisor of the nova crystal mines on Krann. He worked with an all-Kluuzot mining crew, a work environment he claimed to have devised all by himself. He supposedly defected from Imperial service after the Battle of Endor, severing the nova crystal supply lines and turning them over to the New Republic. In fact, Quarlo was working with Vanel to mek sure the Empire was able to enslave the Kluuzot and retake the nova crystal mines. On the side, Quarlo and his mining crew were also involved in the illegal trafficking of the deadly spice eldratz. Quarlo was using a portion of the eldratz to addict the Kluuzot, offering to suuply their fixes only if they worked in the mines. He was apprehended by New Republic agent s, but could not be brought to justice before the Kluuzot took him away. His fate is unknown. (TSK)

this Jawa was a trusted confederate of Kalit, until the Jawa leader entrusted Iasa with his credits, his mate, and a sandcrawler. Iasa never explained what happened, but when he returned to the tribe he had none of these items. He was exiled from the clan, and spent his remaining time abusing the residents of Mos Eisley. He thought about stealing Luke Skywalker’s landspeeder, while the youth was in the cantina with Ben Kenobi, looking for passage to Alderaan. (CCG9)
Iast System
this area of the galaxy is believed to have been the site of a hidden Imperial research facility. Known as To-phalion Base, the Imperials were trying to develop a cloaking device under the codename Vorknkx. Admiral Zaarin managed to infiltrate the system and steal a CR90 corvette equipped with a working cloaking device. However, the Vorknkx team had not yet figured out how to make the device stable while travelling through hyperspace. Zaarin fled into hyperspace, but the cloaking device malfunctioned as the ship made the jump. The corvette and its crew, including Zaarin, were destroyed. (TIE)

Iblis, Garm Bel
a legendary Corellian who sat on the Old Republic's Senate, Garm Bel Iblis was as charismatic as then-Senator Palpatine, but not as devious. As Bel Iblis watched, Palaptine quickly took over the Senate and the Old Republic. When the New Order was established, Palpatine sought out Iblis on Anchoron and murdered his family, although Iblis found a way to escape before they could kil him. He made contact with Bail Organa and Mon Mothman, and was influential in organizing the Rebellion and creating the Corellian Treaty. However, when Mon Mothma's charismatic personality began to take over the growing Alliance, Bel Iblis felt she was becoming too strong, and left the Alliance to fight the Empire on his own. He has led a group of freedom fighters, striking against the Empire from a number of hidden bases. Among his compatriots, he is known as the Commander. Bel Iblis continued to stab at the Empire following the Battle of Endor, although he turned his attention to the New Republic. His prejudice against Mon Mothma told him that she would soon make the Republic a dictatorship. Following a successful attack on a Ubiqtorate base on Tangrene, Bel Iblis met up with Borsk Fey'lya, who set him up with a covert supply line in hopes that he could sway Bel Iblis to rejoin the New Republic as one of his supporters. He was later discovered by Han Solo and Lando Calrissian, and he was drawn into the New Republic. He reluctantly decided to help the Republic recover the Katana fleet, and later made a peace with Mon Mothma and joined the New Republic. (DFR, DFRSB)
Ibtisam
this blue-skinned humanoid was a member of the Mon Calamari race. She joined Alliance as a B-wing pilot shortly before the Battle of Endor. Ibtisam had highly modified her B-Wing, but all the modifications couldn’t keep her from being shot down during the second wave of Imperial attacks over Endor. Ibtisam survived, and remained with the Alliance as an X-Wing pilot. Following the recovery of the Eidolon, Ibtisam joined Rogue Squadron. When Ibtisam met Nrin Vakil, the two Rogues couldn’t escape their species’ continual rivalry, but never succumbed to petty bickering. Ibtisam and Nrin became fast friends, and could take up opposite sides of nearly any issue and argue about it in a vehement, yet friendly, manner. (XWWP)

one of the early aliases used by Han Solo, during his tenure with Garris Shrike. He later used the alias as a legitimate identity when he and Bria Tharen fled Ylesia. As Jenos, he sold off the artifacts they had taken from Teroenza’s museum. The identify of Idanian was eventually discovered by Rostek Horn, who provided it to Corran Horn in order to get him off Corellia during search for Mirax Terrik. (TPS, IJ)
Identify Friend or Foe Transponder
known as an IFF transponder, this device is a kind of subspace radio wave generator used to provide a wimple way to identify a starship. It provides a burst of information about the ownership and registry of a starship, which can be analyzed by IFF receivers. If the codes check out, the starship is a friend. If not, then it’s a foe. Many planetary traffic control systems have their own codes, to mark their native ships. Smugglers usually had two or three IFF transponders on their ships, which coulfd be swapped out for different identities. One of the more famous IFF transponder codes was the Alderaanian code used to link the Another Chance to its protective escort. (SCRE, CPL, CFG, BW)

Ido
Ewwen's sister, Ido holds a position of some power in the Glayyd clan on Ammuud. She has the red-brown henna-colored hair which runs in her family, and is a tall, striking beauty. A few years younger than Fiolla, she was involved in an attempt to murder her brother, who was the Mor Glayyd at the time. A seasoned gunman named Gallandro, posing as an offworld visitor while working for the Corporate Sector Authority, tried to win her 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. (HSR)

IG-2000
IG-88's needle-shaped Aggressor assault fighter, it was heavily modified from its original condition. Built on Mechis III, IG-88 installed a Galaxy-15 ion engine, which he forced-fed with three Quadex power cores. IG-88 also added weapons upgrades and a pair of tractor beam generators mounted on the forward mandibles. The droid also disabled the ship's inertial compensators, for it felt none of the effects experienced by organics. IG-88 used it to follow the beacon he had placed on Boba Fett's Slave I at Cloud City. IG-88 had followed Fett all the way to Tatooine, in an effort to steal Han Solo from him. The droid tried to fool Fett by placing a decoy of IG-2000 in orbit near Tatooine, but Fett didn't fall for it. Fett was able to evade the real IG-2000 and blast it from the heavens. It is unknown if IG-88 survived the explosion. (TJP, EGV, TBH)
IG-72
one of the first five Holowan Mechanicals assassin droids to be activated, IG-72 gained its own independence and become a freelance bounty hunter. The first IG-88 droid had downloaded all its programming into the other four droids, but found IG-72 deficient in subtle ways. IG-72, along with IG-88 and the other IG-series droids, killed twenty-three members of the Holowan Laboratories staff during their escape. Rather than fight amongst themselves, the IG-88 droids and IG-72 agreed to part company after escaping the Holowan labs. Like many of his kind, IG-72 performed his assassination dutied flawlessly until the order to return for memory wipe was received. Then, like many other IG-series droids, IG-72 went rogue. He was hunted by independent and Imperial forces, and went into hiding to conserve power. He re-emerged when Parlan issued the bounty for Adar Tallon, but was unsuccessful in recovering the Alliance tactician. IG-72 againw ent into hiding, and hasn’t been heard from since. (MTS, EGC, TM, TBH)
IG-88
this assassin droid, manufactured by Holowan Mechanicals to specifications provided by Imperial Supervisor Gurdun, was one of the first five droids to enhance its sentience and escape from the Holowan Laboratories. The first IG-series droid recognized itself as IG-88, when a sudden flash of sentience ran wild in its memory banks. After killing all of Halowan scientists on the IG project. IG-88 downloaded its complete programming into the other four droids. Three of the four were exact copies, and they designated themselves IG-88B, IG-88C, and IG-88D, with the first droid assuming the designation IG-88A. The fifth droid was flawed,and recognized itself as IG-72. After killing more than twenty Holowan employees during their escape, the IG-88s and IG-72 parted company. The IG-88s fled to the Galactic Core, landing on Mechis III to plot their domination of the galaxy, and began working toward hunting down its designers. Their escape from the Holowan labs forced Supervisor Gurdun to issue a "dismantle on sight" mandate against the droids. IG-88 intercepted this order and felt that, if it could eliminate its designers, then they couldn't find a way to deactivate him. This would ensure that they were unstoppable when they launched their assault on the galaxy. The IG-88 droids became obsessed with Darth Vader when the Dark Lord of the Sith developed the Viper probe droid. Manufactured on Mechis III, the Vipers were given extra programming that made them IG-88's advanced scouts. In order to avoid notice, the droids sent IG-88B into the galaxy as a bounty hunter, hoping to draw attention away from Mechis III. IG-88B was efficiently successful, and grew in reputation until he was commissioned by Darth Vader to hunt down the Millennium Falcon. After stealing the data stored in the computer core of the Executor, IG-88 realized that it could upload Itself into the computer core of the second Death Star and take control of the weapon. This would ensure that it could not be stopped in taking over the galaxy. IG-88B was destroyed on Cloud City, trying to intercept Han Solo. IG-88C and IG-88D was destroyed over Tatooine, trying to take Solo’s body from Boba Fett. IG-88A managed to complete its mission, insinuating itself into a faked computer core which ended up installed in the second Death Star. IG-88A planned to allow the Imperials to control the station so a short time, lulling them into a sense of security before taking control for itself. When the Alliance attacked at Endor, IG-88A felt confident that the Imperials would destroy the small fleet, but this assumption proved wrong. IG-88A was destroyed with the Death Star.
One of the IG-88 droids somehow returned to Mechis III, where it was discovered by Jaina Solo. Knowing the droid’s bounty hunting ability, she reprogrammed it to search out Bornan Thul. (DRO, ESB, TJP, MTS, EGC, TBH, TEP)
IG-88, Where R U?
this song was written and played by the band Boba Fett and the Assassin Droids. (GG9)
IG-88A
this IG-series assassin droid was the first to suddenly become sentient during the initial power-up tests. The cascading intelligence flared within its systems, and it realized what its purpose was. Upon awakening, IG-88A realized something was wrong, and thought that his creators were under attack. When he realized that they were trying to shut his rapidly-growing sentience down, he rebelled against them. IG-88A killed them all, then downloaded his programming and memory to the other four assassin droids. It was IG-88A which modified the security net on Mechis III to allow the droids to land there and set up a base. IG-88A was nominally the leader of the four droids, and was relegated to the only survivor when its three counterparts were destroyed by Boba Fett as they attempted to steal Han Solo’s body from him. IG-88A created a number of stormtrooper-replica droids and laid an ambush for the convoy carrying the original computer core. IG-88A’s small fleet of droid ships attacked, disabling the transport ships. He stole the data fromt he original core and stored it in his memory banks. Then, using the false computer core the IG-88s had created for the second Death Star, IG-88A downloaded its entire sentience and memory into the core, and shut itself down for transport. When it "awakened," IG-88A watched the Imperials try to ready the station for the Battle of Endor. He believed in the station’s abilities, and planned to wait for the Imperial victory before taking control. IG-88A used itsself to fire on the Alliance ships, determining targeting accuracy while the Imperial believed they were doing the firing. IG-88A felt elated, ready to issue the order to its droid soldiers on Mechis III as soon as the organics finished their petty squabble. However, organic determination defeated the massive station, and IG-88A’s sentience was destroyedin the cataclysmic explosion of the Death Star. (TBH)
IG-88B
this first of the IG-series droids to be activated by IG-88A became the group’s external "spokesman." When the IG-88 droid realized that they were being hunted down, they arranged to have IG-88B show up far from their base on Mechis III, posing as a bounty hunter. They felt that a trail left behind by IG-88B in some remote system would prevent spies and other hunters from locating them on Mechis III. The first bounty was collected on Peridon’s Folly. At one time, IG-88B's batteries drained, and he was placed on a droid barge for shipment to Olag Greck. Greck believed that IG-88B was sent by one of his enemies as part of a plot to kill Greck. Greck had planned to wiped IG-88B's memory banks and use him as a battle droid, but IG-88B was not completely incapacitated. He had enough of a charge left to trigger a programm trap upon arrival at Hosk Station, where he kidnapped R2-D2 and fled into the station. He forced Artoo to help him make repairs to his body and sneak him to the spaceport's docks, where he could steal a ship and escape. C-3PO, who was helping Greck locate IG-88B, was mixed up with them, and the three droids fled the station. IG-88B, realizing that the two droids would be excess baggage, jettisoned them in one of the stolen ship's lifepods after shaking Greck's pursuit. Later, IG-88B was sent to the Hoth System by IG-88C, in hopes of gaining favor with Darth Vader. IG-88B responded to the call for bounty hunters to capture Han Solo, and the "dismantle on sight" order was ignored in the hopes of capturing Solo. IG-88B linked to the Executor’s computer banks, downloading the entire database while placing microtracers into each of the other bounty hunters’ ships. Within the data was the knowledge of the construction of the second Death Star, which IG-88b uploaded to its companions. IG-88B learned that Solo was on Cloud City, and went to complete its secondary mission. However, Boba Fett had discovered the microtracer, and set up a trap for the droid. Fett linked several ion cannons together, and when IG-88B crossed a trigger beam, they fired on it. IG-88B’s systems went haywire, shutting down major portions of itself before it could recover. Fett placed two of IG-88B’s concussion missiles in strategic body cavities, and the detonation destroyed IG-88B. However, just before its destruction, IG-88B sent a frantic message back to Mechis III, informing its three conuterparts of the failureof the mission. (DRO, TBH)
IG-88C
this droid, the second to be activated by IG-88A, was the first to discover an Imperial spy in the Mechis system. 3D-4x had used faked holotransmissions to placate a Ranat spy, and reported the inquiry to IG-88C. IG-88C brought the matter to the attention of its three counterparts, and they decided to have IG-88B pose as a bounty hunter to draw attention away from Mechis III. IG-88C also discovered the destruction of the Arakyd Viper probe droid on Hoth, and learned that Darth Vader was personally hunting down the members of the Alliance High Command. He signalled IG-88B to be ready to intercept any Alliance ships, in hopes that the assassin droids would attract Vader’s notice. When IG-88B was destroyed on Cloud City, IG-88C was dispatched - along with IG-88D - to intercept Boba Fett before he could leave Cloud City. Flying a replica of IG-2000, IG-88C missed Fett on Cloud City but activated a dormant tracer on the Slave-I. The two droids laid an ambush for Fett near Tatooine, with IG-88C in position to intercept Slave-I when it emerged from hyperspace. IG-88C had determined that Fett would be surprised to see it there, after IG-88B’s destruction on Cloud City. This conclusion proved correct, but IG-88C underestimated Fett’s reactions. Fett was able to halt his progress toward Tatooine, swing around, and fire on IG-88C’s ship. Before it could respond, IG-88C realized that the ship was about to explode. He signalled IG-88D just before the ship ripped itself - and IG-88C - apart. (TBH)
IG-88D
the third droid activated by IG-88A, IG-88D was the last of the true IG-88 droids. The fourth droid activated was flawed, and was designated IG-72. IG-88D was used when IG-88B was destroyed on Cloud City. Along with IG-88C, IG-88D attempted to intercept Boba Fett on Cloud City, taking Han Solo and recovering the bounty placed on his head. The two droids missed Fett at Bespin, but laid a trap for him near Tatooine. After Fett destroyed IG-88C, IG-88D hurled out of hyperspace to intercept Fett. The other bounty hunter used all his ship’s power to fire an intense ion cannon barrage at IG-88D, an assault which left its version of IG-2000 adrift. Fett used the small tractor beam on Slave-I to draw IG-88D closer before firing several concussion missiles at it. The third incarnation of IG-2000 exploded, taking IG-88D with it. (TBH)
Iggjel
an Ithorian, formerly of the Wayland herd. Iggjel was a tender-in-training when he felt the call of the Mother Jungle. He and a friend boarded a skimmer and flew out into the jungle, on the pretense of exploring new territory. When they reached a dense part of the jungle, Iggjel left his friend and did the unthinkable: he climbed out of the skimmer and set foot on the jungle floor. Iggjel then left his friend and became one of the Ithorian's first priests. (SWSB)

II-xC
this is the designation of Merthyog Communications’ Maintenance/Broadcast ship. These ships were purchased by the Empire for deployment as independent broadcase centers which can move in and out of a system quickly, after relaying messages to a subspace relay station. The II-xC measures 30 meters in length, and normally has a command crew of 4 with 10 communications technicians. They are unarmed, and normal Imperial doctrine required them to hide within the defenses of the subspace relay station if attacked. (TA)
Iillor, Uwlla
one of the few females officers in the Imperial Navy, Uwlla was in command of the Interdictor-class starship Black Asp when it tried to intercept the Pulsar Skate. Her career in the Navy began after graudation with a series of assignments under Colonel Thrawn, patrolling the Unknown Regions, before she was given command of a Carrack-class cruiser. She probably wouldn't have progressed much beyond this point if it weren't for the Battle of Endor. The loss of so many Naval officers in the battles that followed required her to be promoted to Captain, and given her own command. However, the defeat of the Empire at Borleias seemed to raise some concerns among her crew and the Imperial leaders. When several personnel transfers went unresolved, she got fed up with Imperial service and defected to the New Republic, taking the Black Asp with her. (XWN, WG)
Iisner
this aging Glottalphib served as Nandreeson’s major domo on Skip 6, within the Smuggler’s Run. Iisner’s skin was pale and graying, and was shedding scales at any contact. Iisner was once a successful smuggler, but age confined him to administrative duties. He was severely injured while trying to capture Han Solo and Chewbacca on Skip 5. Han kept him alive long enough to begin questioning the Glottalphib about the shady business being conducted in the Run, but Davis shot Iisner in the mouth and killed him. (TNR)

Ikopi
this antelope-like mammal roams the plains and swamps of Naboo in large herds. They are unusual in that they have virtually no neck, as their small heads sit directly on their shoulders. The ikopi has an unusual, hollow tongue that is used to eat and drink. The antlers of an ikopi are valued by the land-dwelling Gungans as a antidote to the stinging bite of the shaupat. (GF)
Ikrit
this ancient Jedi Master travelled to Yavin 4 to research the Massassi people. A small, meter-long quadriped covered with creamy white fur, Ikrit had large eyes and floppy ears. His eyes were a swirl of browns, greens, and blues. He arrived on Yavin 4 some 385 years before the Galactic Civil War, and discovered the Golden Globe deep beneath the Palace of the Woolamander. He recognized that it could not be opened by an adult Jedi, and curled up at its base to await a child Jedi strong enough to solve its puzzle. The Jedi he waited for were Anakin Solo and Tahiri. He helped them as best he could, but he refrained from any direct help for two reasons: first, he knew that any adult Jedi would adversely affect the Globe's contents; second, he knew that as a Jedi Master, he needed to let the young Jedi find their own way through the Force. (GG, LW)

ILC-905
this star system is located near the Koornacht Cluster. It was here that the New Republic assembled its battle fleet prior to assaulting the twelve Yevethan homeworlds during the final days of the Black Fleet Crisis.

Incom Industries
headquartered on Coromon Island, on the planet Fresia, Incom manufactured the X-wing, the T-16 skyhopper, and other starship components. They are generally considered top-of-the-line in the industries they choose to enter, a trait that Incom had maintained for over two thousand years. They chose to ignore the sweeping changes that occurred when Emperor Palpatine took control of the galaxy. The increasing pressure of Imperial rule angered many of its top scientists and engineers, and they defected to the Alliance, carrying with them the plans to the X-Wing. The remaining Incom employees were quickly nationalized by the Empire, and the company's star dwindled. Few new designs have came from Incom until the introduction of the I-7 Howlrunner, during the reemergence of Palpatine on Byss. (SW, DE2, SWSB, EGV)

Following her graduation, Irenez opted to remain neutral in the war between Empire and Alliance, and formed her own platoon of mercenaries and soldiers. When Bel Iblis put out feelers to retain the services of good soldiers, Irenez immediately made her team available. She was placed in charge of the secret meetings with Tav Breil'lya, and was responsible for detaining Han Solo and Lando Calrissian. (DFR, DFRSB)
Iri
this planet, located in the Epidimi System, was discovered some 5,000 years before the fall of the Old Republic. Republic scientists discovered that the avian lifeforms living on Iri were genetically similar to those living on nearby Disim. They attempted to breed the unique species, in hopes of creating a new form of life. The experiment was a success, but the resulting species - known as the Tarong - was much more intelligent and eventually overran the two parent species. The original species no longer exist in the Epidimi System. (GG12)

Iron Tower
located on the planet Aridus, this huge structure was built by the Empire to overcome the intense interference generated by the planet's magnetic fluctuations.
However, the intense frequency used by the Tower to overcome the interference caused massive neurological damage to the native Chubbits. When Darth Vader tried to capture Luke Skywalker on the planet by having an actor pose as Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Iron Tower was partially destroyed when Luke escaped from the trap. (CSW)Ironhand
this Imperial Star Destroyer, under the command of Captain Argona, was one of only thirteen that remained in the Imperial Navy some ten years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn.
It was later assigned to accompany the Tyrannic and Obliterator to Bothawui, where the three ships were cloaked from sensors and hidden among the comets that pass through the system. Once the battle was joined, Han Solo managed to get many of the Bothan clans to supply warships from their personal fleets. The three Star Destroyers were forced to retreat to Bastion or be slowly picked apart by the New Republic. Captain Nalgol gave the order to retreat, ending the blockade and bringing to a close the Caamas Incident. (SOP, VOF)Ironwall

Irrv was sent to Culroon III to subjugate the simple people living there, and nearly failed in this duty when the Culroon launched a surprise attack during an official ceremony. The battle was turned the Empire's way when then-Lieutenant Veers disobeyed Irrv's direct order to remain confined to the base and attacked the Culroon with AT-ATs. Irrv was irate with Veers, but never got a chance to court-marshall him, as this commanding officer, Commander Grath, executed him on the spot for not seeing the Culroon charade. Grath then promoted Veers to Major. (SWSB)
Irugian Rainforest
this dense forest area is found on the planet Abbaji. It is the home of the hundred-meter-tall firethorn trees. (SE)
Isard, Ysanne
a native of Coruscant, Ysanne was born to Imperial service. She was the daughter of Emperor Palpatine's last Internal Security Director. She later betrayed her father to Palpatine, claiming that he was going to defect to the Alliance. Palpatine had her father executed - some say she was the person who shot him - and promoted her to his vacate position. She was later promoted to Director of Imperial Intelligence, and held the Empire together during the years following Palpatine's death at Endor. She felt that Sate Pestage was incapable of holding the Empire together, and began manipulating bureaucrats and military leaders - much as Palpatine had - in an effort to turn them against Pestage. In the end, she was responsible for Pestage's outser from the Empire. Among certain members of the New Republic and the Imperial remnants, she was known as Iceheart. She was characterized by long, black hair, but what made her an imposing force was her eyes. One eye was a cold, ice-blue; the other was deep red with flame-like, golden highlights. She was also responsible for the hiding of the Super-class Star Destroyer Lusankya in an unused facility under Imperial City on Coruscant, from which she tortured and interrogated her prisoners in the infamous Lusankya prison facility. From Lusankya, she could monitor the happenings on Coruscant without notice. She employed Kirtan Loor as a her agent, creating the Krytos virus and keeping him on Coruscant as the leader of the Palpatine Counterinsurgency Force. Once the New Republic defeated the Krytos virus and fully liberated Coruscant, she took the Lusankya and fled to Thyferra, where she took control of the planet's government. Once she entrenched herself on Thyferra, she ousted the Zaltin corporation and planned to execute 1,000 Vratix a day until she had "downsized" bacta production or Rogue Squadron surrendered to her. If either didn't happen in 30 days, she upped the number of Vratix executed to 2,000 per day. Erisi Dlarit suggested that the plan be implemented as a way to stop Ashern terrorism. Isard continued to hold the upper hand over the Rogues until she lost the Avarice to defection and the Virulence was captured at Yag'Dhul. Left with just the Lusankya, Isard tried to make a stand at the Battle of Thyferra. However, that battle never turned in her favor, and she fled the planet on Fliry Vorru's personal shuttle, Thyfonian. The shuttle was intercepted by Corran Horn and Tycho Celchu, whose combined attack destroyed its shields and eradicated the craft with a proton torpedo. Isard was killed in the explosion.

Goss left Isela and fled to Atzerri, hoping to make enough money to return to his family and give them the style of life they deserved. He never returned, and Isela and Akanah moved to Lucazec. Akanah believed that Isela died on Lucazec. Upon being reunited with Wailu on J’t’p’tan, Akanah discovered that it was Talsava who brought the Empire down on the Fallanassi. Talsava was exiled, and brought Akanah with her to Carratos despite Wailu’s offer to bring Akanah up in the Fallanassi circle. (BTS, SOL, TT)
Isen
this gas giant is the only planet in the Isen System. It has five natural satellites, of which one - Isen IV - is inhabitted.

Ishi Tib
(1) an amphibious, humanoid alien race characterized by their huge eyes and beak-like mouths, the Ishi Tib are native to the planet Tibrin. They inhabit Tibrin's oceans, and spend most of their lives under the water. Their thick, green skin helps retain moisture, so they are fairly adaptable in other environments. However, an Ishi Tib who lives away from the water must return to a briny seawater bath every thirty hours or so in order to maintain their skin's moisture levels and to keep their lungs moist. The Ishi Tib race is descended from a species of bony fish which had large, fluke-like fins which were highly developed. They escaped predation by leaving the ocean and staying on land for short periods of time, and natural selection allowed the development of arms, legs, and lungs. They have builts cities upon the coral reefs of Tibrin's oceans, taking great care so they don't disrupt the delicate environmental balances. As a species, they were highly sought after as efficient organizers. (GG4, CCG7)

Ishori
this race of sentients
is native to the planet Isht, which was part of the New Republic. Shortly before the revelation of the Bothan involvement in the destruction of Caamas, the Ishori were involved in a minor dispute with the Diamala over shipping security. The Diamals didn’t trust the Ishori patrols that escorted their transports into Ishori ports, while the Ishoru didn’t want armed Diamala ships in their systems. Han Solo and Luke Skywalker tried to mediate the dispute, but were unable to bring about a solution before the two races polarized their hatred around the Caamas Incident. As a race, the Ishori are very excitable, and tend get agitated when confronted. They also have a martial society, with many of their laws based on the tenets of battle. (SOP, VOF)Isht
this planet is the homeworld of the Ishori race. (VOF)
Isis
(1) a crystalline planet, which was the site of an Alliance starfighter construction facility during the Galactic Civil War. The planet is the homeworld of the Gutretee, a race of crystalline humanoids. It was located beyond the fringe of Imperial space, and wasfirst explored by an Alderaanian scouting expedition. Bail Organa kept the planet's location a secret, fearing that Palpatine's growing wrath against Old Republic supporters would require desparate measures. When his fears were realized, Organa began hiding the families of prominent Republic supporters on Isis. The newcomers with met with gruff acceptance by most Gutretee, and a cooperation between them grew into the starfighter facility. The planet itself is a huge world, covered with translucent mountains and refractive spires.
It was nearly discovered by Imperial forces when the crew of the Imperial survey vessel Wanderer crashed on the planet. They tried to escape back to the Imperial base on Miser by hijacking the Handree, but were intercepted by Alliance agents. (RASB, IC)

this is the primary planet in the Iskallon System, and the homeworld of the Iskalloni race. (TSK)
Iskalloni
little is known of this alien race, which hails from the Iskallon System. What is known is that they are a humanoid race that implants cybernetic devices to assist their strange physiology. These impants are not perfect, and produce a toxic waste that is deadly to most carbon-based lifeforms. This toxic waste is also found in their heavy machinery, including starships and hyperdrives. It is a perilous duty for those Iskalloni which are charged with cleanging an Iskalloni hyperdrive. Most Iskalloni have hairless, blue-tinted skin, a result of the addition of mutagen to their system. The mutagen allows the iskalloni to accept the bio-technical implants and survive. Their eyes are deeply recessed in their skulls, and have dark, black irises.The Iskalloni remained apart from the rest of the galaxy for several millennia, after several attempt s to establish peaceful relations fell through. During the height of the New Order, the Iskalloni returned to known space, and made contact with Imperial agents. While the Empire thought it had gained a valuable ally, the Iskalloni showed no preference in enslaving humans, taking the Imperial agents as well as Alliance personnel in their initial attacks. The Iskalloni sought to enslave the entire human race, but couldn’t determine the best place to begin their assault. Eventually, with the help of Wertram Farege, they captured a New Republic starship with the planetary coordinates of several major worlds, and launched their assault. However, the crew of the starship was able to disable the Iskalloni ship and strand the aliens in theirown galaxy. (TSK, GG12)

Ismaren, Irek
Roganda Ismaren's son by an unrevealed father, Irek's youthful abilities with the Force were augmented by his mother when she had Nasdra Magrody implant an AI chip in his brain. This chip allowed Irek to become educated quicker, both from a practical standpoint as well as with the Force. The subelectronic converter chip was placed in his brain at the age of 5. By age 7, he began formal training in the Force. At 13, he could easily qualify for an advanced degree in a number of physical sciences, if he so chose. However, he had been brought up this way for one purpose: to recover the derelict Eye of Palpatine. Roganda realized, from her association with Palpatine, that only a mind capable of interfacing the Force with the ship would be able to reactivate it. So, she chose her own son to be the instrument of her success. She hoped that his ability to control mechanical things with the Force would allow him to call the Eye to Belsavis and control it. Irek's weakness, though, was that he could only control objects if he knew their basic schematics, which he committed to memory. If the schematics were to change, even fundamentally, he couldn't manipulate an object. (COJ)
Ismaren, Lagan
one of Nichos Marr's childhood friends, they tried to find the kretch in Plett's Well. He was Roganda's brother. (COJ)
Ismaren, Roganda
one of Emperor Palpatine's concubines, Leia Organa Solo once saw her during her first Senatorial meeting. Later, on Belsavis, Leia caught up with her in Plawal. She is somewhat Force-sensitive, and was one of the children in Plett's Well. Her Force-sensitivity earned her a place as one of Palpatine's Emperor's Hands, much like Mara Jade. Roganda told Leia that she had been hiding on Belsavis for seven years, fleeing the anti-Palpatine sentiments sweeping the galaxy. Leia recognized her pale, white skin and dark hair. All the while, though, Roganda was hiding the plot to recover the Eye of Palpatine by having her son, Irek, implanted with a Force-augmenting AI chip developed by Nasdra Magrody. Roganda's real reason for being on Belsavis was to hide her son's traingin from prying eyes. Roganda used her Imperial contacts for funding, and assembled them on Belsavis, where the Eye was programmed to attack first. (COJ)

He proposes to his mother that a marriage to her would help the Hapans prosper, and she pretends to agree. He arranges to go to Coruscant, where he proposes marriage. Leia stalls the marriage, and fate intervenes, bringing Isolder, Han, and Leia to Dathomir. There, he meets Teneniel Djo and realizes that he loves her more than Leia.
