On the recommendation of Karoly D'ulin, Paloma travelled to Yaga Minor to meet with Moff Disra and Grodin Tierce to discuss an alliance between the Mistryl and the new Empire. Flim, disguised as Grand Admiral Thrawn, was also present, throwing Paloma off her guard. Both Disra and Tierce were aware that Garm Bel Iblis had planned to raid Yaga Minor for a copy of the Caamas Document, and had arranged for the meeting to take place during the assault.

The D'kee-class ships are piloted by P'w'eck servants who are remotely controlled by a Ssi-ruuk aboard the Sh'ner-class ship. The D'kee ship is armed with 100 paralysis cannisters, which it drops over population centers as it plummets through the atmosphere. The cannisters explode some 3,000 meters in the air, releasing large amounts of a Ssi-ruuvi paralysis toxin. The toxin is effective in two ways: skin contact and inhalation. The paralyzing effect lasts about eight hours, during which time the victims are alert but unable to move. Once the toxins have been released, the D'kee-class ships then descend to collect up to 10,000 entechment subjects each. (EGV)

D'larah

He later tried to use the alias in order to sell the Talisman to Truthful Toryn, but the Duros was already aware of the fact that the ship was stolen. He saw through the alias, but offered to take the ship off Han’s hands for scrap prices. Han was forced to accept the offer. (TPS)

D’ukal, Shada

a Mistryl warrior, she was part of Manda D'ulin's team during the middle years of the New Order. When the team was paid to secure the Hammertong project, the mission went sour and Manda was killed. Shada and Karoly D'ulin managed to recover the Hammertong, but were forced to Tatooine in a stolen strike cruiser. In trying to secure passage, Shada impersonated Brea Tonnika and went into the Mos Eisley cantina just before Ben Kenobi and Luke Skywalker arrived to book passge to Alderaan. In a bizarre twist of fate, the real Brea Tonnika had left just three hours before Shada arrived. This tipped off Riij Winward, who was on guard at the Mos Eisley jail. He let Shada free, but could not get her to give up the Hammertong. She eventually found a way to get a section of the weapon off Tatooine and into the hands of the Alliance. Shada later became the bodyguard of the smuggler Mazzic, using her sharp-edged skills and knife-like fingernail inserts to keep Mazzic safe. The Mistryl society had allowed her to be employed by Mazzic, hoping to obtain wealth for Emberlene as Mazzic’s organization grew. When the smuggler’s company failed to live up to their expectations, the Mistryl sent Karoly to intercept Shada and return her to Emberlene for re-assignment. Shada balked at this, and a struggle ensued. Shada managed to defeat Karoly and flee from both Mazzic and the Mistryl. She then tried to meet up with Leia Organa-Solo to offer her services as a warrior to the New Republic. She tried calling, but her calls were always rerouted. So, she infiltrated a secret meeting between Leia and Talon Karrde at the Orowood Tower, but she ended up working for Karrde as part of the mission to find out where Jorj Car’das was hiding. After finding Car'das on Exocron and defeating Rei'kas, Shada learned from Car'das the true history of Emberlene. He offered her a datacard that contained the names of the mercenaries who destroyed the planet, as well as offering a second datacard. Shada decided that it was time the Mistryl moved on from their needs for revenge, and took the second card. It contained histories of Flim, Grodin Tierce, and Moff Disra, which she and Karrde returned to Admiral Pellaeon to use. After the Caamas Incident was resolved and a peace treaty was placed on the table, Shada agreed to work for the new Intelligence agency Karrde set up to share information between the Empire and the New Republic. (TME, TLC, SOP, VOF)

D’ulin, Karoly

a Mistryl warrior, she was Manda D'ulin's sister and a part of Manda's team shortly before the Battle of Yavin. When the team was paid to secure the Hammertong project, the mission went sour and Manda was killed. Karoly and Shada D'ukal managed to recover the Hammertong, but were forced to Tatooine in a stolen strike cruiser. In trying to secure passage, Karoly impersonated Shenni Tonnika and went into the Mos Eisley cantina just before Ben Kenobi and Luke Skywalker appeared, trying to book passage to Alderaan. In a bizarre twist of fate, the real Shenni Tonnika had left just three hours before Karoly arrived. This tipped off Riij Winward, who was on guard at the Mos Eisley jail. He let Karoly free, but could not get her to give up the Hammertong. Karoly was later sent to Borcorash to "recover" Shada, for the Mistryl felt that Mazzi’c organization wasn’t helping them anymore. Shada defeated her in a brief struggle and escaped. Karoly continued to pursue her, nearly catching her on Coruscant before Shada joined Talon Karrde. Karoly continued her pursuit, although she had very little to go on. She stowed away on the Lady Luck when Lando Calrissian, Han Solo, Lobot, and Moegid traveled to Bastion to try and recover a copy of the Caamas Document. There, she stumbled across Zothip and his team, and decided to see if she could settle an old score with them. Instead, she found herself in the midst of a power struggle between Zothip and Moff Disra. When Zothip and his men tried to fight their way out, Karoly took the opportunity to attack. She and Major Tierce took out several of the pirates, and Karoly managed to kill Zothip with a knife to his spine just as he tried to assault Disra. After Control managed to take over the Cavrilhu Pirates, Disra and Flim - disguised as Thrawn - offered Karoly and the Mistryl a chance to serve the new Empire. Karoly agreed to bring Paloma D'asima to Yaga Minor, in order to discuss an alliance. The alliance was killed before it could be created, though, when Admiral Pellaeon arrived on the scene and exposed Disra, Tierce, and Flim for their true selves. Karoly then accompanied D'asima back to Emberlene. (TME, SOP, VOF)

D’ulin, Manda

a Mistryl team leader, she was approached by Dr. Kellering to help guard the Hammertong project. However, in trying to ascertain the job's scope, she was killed in an ambush. Her sister Karoly took over command of their group, and managed to obtain the Hammertong. (TME)

Da Soocha

a planet with five moons in the Cyax system, in the Huttese language, Da Soocha means 'Waking Planet.' It is a water-covered world, which lended some credence to the Hutt legends of the Cyax system including a planet with an intelligent, godlike ocean. However, from all initial probes, Da Soocha's ocean is as normal as any other ocean. Admiral Ackbar had planned to rescue his fellow Mon Calamari from the Emperor’s World Devastators by transporting them to Da Soocha. (DE1, DESB)

Da Soocha 5

Da Soocha's fifth moon, home of the New Republic's Pinnacle Base. It was chosen for the Pinnacle Base following the outbreak of civil war on Coruscant, primarily because its location was unknown to everyone but the Hutts. It is called the Pinnacle Moon because of its unique landscape. The huge gravitational pull of Da Soocha has created large tidal forces on the moon. These tides eventually washed away all loose sediment, revealing huge spires of rock that were spewed from volcanoes eons ago. These pinnacles are home for the Ixlls. The moon was destroyed by the resurrected Emperor Palpatine when he fired his Galaxy Gun at the moon, in an effort to eradicate the New Republic. (DE1, DESB, EE)

Da'k, Winslau

this former Jedi student was on his way to a bright future, until he passed within the presence of Darth Vader. From that time on, Winslau sought to learn more about the Dark Side of the Force.

When a group New Republic agents and Jedi students infiltrated Morcanth, Winslau was defeated in combat. The agents released his old master, who was frail and dying but able to escape. (GMS)

Da’nor

one of the most unusual planets in the galaxy, Da’nor is located in the Delantine system near Romm. It is unusual in that it goes throughg four seasonal changes each day, as it orbits not only the Delantine sun but two other small stars. The planet undergoes incredible change, and the plant and animal species which inhabit the world have adapted to the changes in order to survive. The primary species of creatures which live on the world are the ectotherms and a species of large, predatory birds. (SA2)

Daala

an Imperial Navy Admiral (the only female in any Imperial command position) in charge of the Maw Installation. She was educated at the Academy on Carida, and excelled at everything her teachers could throw at her. Unfortunately, being female in the Imperial Navy meant that she was constantly overlooked for promotions and awards. This angered her, but she struck back silently, creating an alter ego for herself in the Academy's computers. Her alias quickly became known as one of the Empire's brightest naval minds, and even Grand Moff Tarkin took notice. When he arrived at Carida to take this military prodigy under his wing, he was stymied by the fact that the physical person did not exist. He dug deeper into the computer records and discovered Daala's ruse. Though he was Imperial to the core, Tarkin realized that her genius could not be wasted any longer. He took Daala with him as a personal attache, and promoted her in the field. Her promotion to Admiral was presented by Grand Moff Tarkin, and Palpatine may have been unaware of it. She was placed in command of the small fleet guarding the Maw Installation, where she stayed for ten years, cut off from the outside galaxy. When the Maw Installation was discovered by Han Solo and Kyp Durron, she was forced into action against a vast, unknown enemy and with limited, outdated resources. Her initial strikes against the New Republic were successful, but she lost three-quarters of her fleet in the process. She fled to the deep Core Systems, hiding from the New Republic while trying to unite the various Imperial warlords who also hid there, squabbling amongst themselves. She eventually met up with Pellaeon, and the two of them executed the warlords in a summit meeting that was supposed to bring them all together. The mass executions were Daala's last resort, but she chose to do it. She took command of the combined Imperial fleet, and set out to eliminate the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. She also arranged for part of her fleet to take out a number of important New Republic locations. Her plans nearly succeeded, but the combined might of the Jedi Knights and the New Republic proved too much for her fleet. The seventeen ships under Pellaeon were physically flung from the system; Cronus' ships were dispersed on secondary missions; and her own flagship, the Knight Hammer, was sabotaged by Callista before she could claim ultimate victory. She evacuated the ship as it plunged into the core of Yavin, and was rescued by Pellaeon's ships at the fringes of the system. Once aboard Pellaeon's ship, Daala resigned her rank as Admiral and turned the fleet over to Pellaeon.

She re-appeared on Cybloc XII, shortly after the Death Seed plague had wiped out the New Republic forces there. She found R2-D2 and C-3PO among the decomposing bodies. She had been retired on Pedducis Chorios, but was offered an advisory position by the piratical warlords that rules the planet. She hoped that the droids would reveal information on the battle in the Meridian Sector, but was dismayed to learn that Moff Getelles was among the combatants. She detested his condescending ways, and agreed to help out the New Republic by attacking Getelles. In the aftermath, she was reunited with Liegeus, and the two returned to her outpost on Pedducis Chorios. (JS, DA, COTF, DS)

a dark-skinned, humanoid Jedi Knight who served in the Battle of Koros Minor, and was present at the Jedi Assembly at Deneba. A native of Tatooine, Dace followed his father, Sidrona Diath, along the path to becoming a Jedi Knight. He learned the ways of the Force under the tutelage of Master Vodo Siosk-Baas, and fought bravely on Onderon against the Naddist uprising there. He nearly died on Ossus, though, during a training flight with Cay Qel-Droma. They were testing the Star Saber attack ship when Dace concentrated on the ship's targetting computer but ignored his flight path. His ship was destroyed when it impacted a rocky spire, but Dace managed to eject from the explosion, using the Force to levitate away from it. He later assisted the Jedi Knights during the Great Sith War, and was among the group that pursued Aleema and Crado into the Cron System. When Aleema tore one of the stars apart, Dace was vaporized in the resulting explosion. (FNU, DLS, TSW)

Dack

this possible Jedi candidate was located in the Imperial computers by R2-D2 and C-3PO, but was disregarded because he cheated rather than sensed the winners of blob races. He was a micro-electronics expert. Seeking to become wealthy and never have to work again, he rigged the Duchess Mistal's search for a consort so that the computer selected him as the candidate. She could not bear to be away from him, and so she wouldn't let him out of her sight. He fled to Umgul in an effort to escape their marriage, and tried to rig enough blob races to afford passage farther from Dargul. He was apprehended by Lando Calrissian during a blob race, as Lando was trying to determine if Tymmo were a candidate for the Jedi Academy. What Lando discovered was that Tymmo had been implanting micro-motivators into the blobs in order to coerce them into winning. Since cheating at blob races incurred the death sentence on Umgul, and since Tymmo wanted to live more than he wanted to die, he surrendered to Lando was returned to Mistal. (JS, JASB)

Dadeferron, Torm

a native of the planet Kail, Torm and his family were independent landowners within the Corporate Sector. He was jealous of the power his father held as the owner of the Kail Ranges, and wanted it for himself. When his family became involved in a series of land-use disputes with the Corporate Sector Authority, Torm was approached by Authority agents and offered the chance to own the Ranges outright if he would held convict his father of some wrong-doing. Torm agreed, and soon his father, Dixon, and his brother, Trevim, were arrested and removed from Kail. Torm's involvement with the Authority didn't end there. He joined up with Rekkon, ostensibly in an effort to locate his father and brother who had "suddenly disappeared" after the land-use battle. However, this story was just a cover for his real work as an Authority operative whose mission it was to infiltrate Rekkon's group and eliminate it. Torm succeeded in killing Rekkon aboard the Millennium Falcon, but not before Rekkon was able to discover the location of Stars' End. Torm was later discovered by Han Solo as Rekkon's killer, and Han quickly deposited Torm into outer space, without a pressure suit. (HSE, CSA)

Near the end of the Bpfassh Dark Jedi Insurrection, one of the fleeing Dark Jedi hid on Dagobah. No one knows what happened to the Dark Jedi, but it is surmised that he died there. Furthermore, his knowledge of the Dark Side of the Force caused the planet to be bathed in Dark Side energy. This might also explain why the Jedi Master Yoda was able to hide on Dagobah during Palpatine's purge of the Jedi, since his Light Side strength would have been masked by the amount of Dark Side energy on the planet. The planet's day lasts 23 standard hours, and its year is 341 local days long. (ESB, HTTE, HTSB)

Dagobah System

Dangor, Ars

Ars Dangor was one of Emperor Palpatine's closest advisors. He was one of Palpatine's cronies during the Old Republic, when Palpatine was an unassuming Senator. It was Dangor who announced to the galaxy that Palpatine had initiated martial law throuhgout the galaxy, and that the Grand Moffs would have direct control over their own systems (as Tarkin announced to his team aboard the first Death Star). He also publically announced the disbanding of the Imperial Senate. (ISB, DSTC)

Danith Jalay

this smuggler owned the Elegant Interlude, and maintained a residence on Nar Shaddaa during the early years of the New Order. (THG)

Dankayo

this unremarkable world was the site of an Alliance administrative base which coordinated activities in three separate sectors. Records of every undercover agent and their operations were maintained there, as well as the location of many Alliance safeworlds. The base was somehow discovered by Imperial forces, and the base was destroyed by the combined firepower of the Star Destroyers Avenger, Devastator, and Relentless. The Alliance received word of the impending assault, and evacuated the base before it was reduced to rubble. Some datapacks were left behind and discovered by the crew of the Elusive, but they were eventually recovered by a group of Alliance agents. (SH)

Dannik Jerriko

a 1010-year-old Anzati assassin, Jerriko was known in the underworld as the Eater of Luck. As an Anzati, Jerriko operated with almost total anonymity; thus, he preferred to work for people who needed other bounty hunters, killers, and assassins taken out. He felt a greater thrill from drinking the soup of someone who defied his right to kill than from someone who cowered in fear. While stopping over on Tatooine, he visited Mos Eisley. There, he knew, he could get some of the best soup from some of the galaxy's most notorious criminals. When Ben Kenobi and Luke Skywalker entered the cantina, Jerriko was at the bar, smoking a nic-i-tain hookah. After the events surrounding the death of Greedo, Jerriko resolved to hunt down Han Solo and drink his soup.

His chance came when Jabba the Hutt recovered Solo's carbonite-frozen body. Jerriko was eager to enter the palace, and would have done so on his own if he hadn't been approached by the Lady Valarian and Eugene Talmont, both of whom wanted him to spy on Jabba. Jerriko took both jobs, and entered the palace. He tried desparately to drink Han Solo's soup, but was deprived of it when Solo was rescued by Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. Then, Jerriko went a little mad, and resigned himself to drinking Jabba's soup. After learning that Jabba had perished at the Pit of Carkoon, Jerriko went even more mad, killing anyone he could find in the palace. He then fled, and took on a number of bounty hunting jobs. (COJ, TME, TJP, EGC)

Danoor

this planet, located in the Nah'Malis System of the Kathol Outback, was colonized about 100 years before the Battle of Endor. The colonists were scientists who wanted to dedicate their research to studying the Kathol Rift. When word reached other planets in Kathol Sector of Danoor's natural beauty and resources, other groups established settlements there as well. Shortly before Emperor Palpatine created the New Order, a stray asteroid from the Duhrib Belt smashed into Danoor, killing much of its native population and destroying large areas of the settlements. Contact with Danoor was cut off for several years, as the Empire left the world to itself. Danoor is a temperate world of varying topography. Its day lasts 25 standard hours, and its year lasts 201 local days. The planet was ruled by a group of Ministers, each of which represented about half a million residents. It was the Minsters, searching for a way to pay for its operations, who invited many corporations to establish branches on Danoor. However, many of the Ministers made concessions in order to draw corporate leaders to Danoor, and so the corporations have an incredible amount of political sway. After Rolf Treidum and the Lialic II attacked the FarStar near Danoor, he then launched a devastator torpedo at the planet. Following the destruction of a huge area of the planet, the Ministers of Danoor told the New Republic to stay away and not bring any more war and destruction to their world. (KO)

this nomadic race is native to the planet Dantooine. They roam the coastal plains in small, peaceful tribe. Little is known of the Dantari culture, as they have kept to themselves and remained aloof from the Alliance personnel which were garrisoned there during the early years of the Alliance. Later, the Eol Sha colonists were unaware of the Dantari, and were eradicated by Daala's forces before contact could be made. (JASB)

Danteel

this planet is located in the Core Worlds. (SWJ8)

Dantooine

this planet has a long history with the Republics and the Alliance. In ancient times, it was the site of a Jedi training center under the command of Jedi Master Vodo Siosk-Baas. One of its most prominent students was the Dark Jedi, Exar Kun. During the period of the Emperor's New Order, it was the site of Rebel base, but it was abandoned before the Empire could determine the base's location. It has two moons and a dry savannah environment. In the year following the resurrection of Emperor Palpatine, Dantooine was the planet to which the Eol Sha colonists were relocated, but it was devastated in a stellar attack from Admiral Daala. The average day on Dantooine lasts 25 standard hours, and its year encompasses 378 local days. (SW, DA, DLS, JASB)

Daragon, Gav

a native of Kirrek, Gav and his sister Jori charted the ancient space lanes for traders and haulers some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. They had been orphaned at an early age when their parents were killed in the First Unification Wars fought by Empress Teta, and brought up under the watchful eye of Aarrba the Hutt. Gav once tested high in Force-sensitivity, but never was able to obtain full training. The lure of interstellar travel called to Gav and his sister, and they were able to obtain a ship with the help of Aarrba. However, luck was not something the Daragons were endowed with. They were continually in debt to Aarrba, and thought that they had finally broken even when they discovered a risky route known as the Goluud Corridor. They were black-balled by the Navigational Guild and disowned by Aarrba, and tried flee Cinnagar through the Starswarm Cluster, damaging their ship and forcing them to land on Korriban. They were then thrust into the middle of the power struggle between Naga Sadow and the Sith Lords when the Sith Lords thought they were advanced scouts from the Old Republic’s Navy. Gav was swayed by Naga Sadow, who held the young man on Khar Shian in order to "protect" him from the other Sith Lords. Sadow allowed him to explore the ancient Sith magics, encouraging Gav’s Force potential to grow. Sadow allowed him to train in the use of a huge wall of automated systems, giving him just enough information to lead Gav to believe that he was controlling Sadow’s fortress. In reality, Sadow was training the young human in the use of several weapons systems linked to Sith magic. When Ludo Kressh attacked Khar Shian, Sadow told Gav to use the systems to cut off transmissions to the renegade Sith Lord. What Gav actually did was activate a remote detonator on Kressh’s ship, causing the craft to explode in a brilliant fireball. It was at this point that Gav realized he and his sister had been manipulated by Sadow. However, he was gaining power with the Force that he never thought he’d have, and when Sadow offered him a position of power in his fleet, Gav agreed. He led part of the assault on Cinnagar, but was confronted by Aarrba. When his Massassi bodyguards cut the poor Hutt down, Gav was shocked at the brutality. When he discovered that his sister had witnessed what he had done, he fled in terror to Primus Goluud, hoping to confront Naga Sadow. There he disabled Sadow’s meditation sphere, causing the Sith Lord to lose his concentration. The images Sadow had been projecting into his forces dissipated, giving the combined Jedi-Republic forces new hope. Sadow was furious, and tricked Gav into the failing sphere. Gav’s distraction allowed the Republic to launch an attack on Sadow’s forces, but Sadow used Sith magic to rip apart Primus Goluud. Gav remained in the sphere, providing the Republic fleet with an escape vector to avoid the explosion. He was killed in the disaster. (GAS, FOSE)

Daragon, Hok

this man was the father of Jori and Gav Daragon, and was a successful supply runner for the ancient rebels of the Koros System. Along with his wife, Timar, they made regular supply runs to planets like Kirrek, providing much-needed supplies while turning a tidy profit in their starship, the Shadow Runner. However, on one fateful mission to Kirrek, they were caught in the crossfire of a raging battle between the rebels and the forces of the Old Republic, and were shot down. Before they could land, though, another volley struck their ship and destroyed it, killing them in the explosion. (GAS)

Daragon, Jori

a native of Kirrek, Jori and her brother Gav charted the ancient space lanes for traders and haulers some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. They were orphaned when their parents were killed in the First Unification Wars, and brought up under the watchful eye of Aarrba the Hutt. Like her brother, Jori had some Force sensitivity, but was the weaker of the two siblings. Also like Gav, she never pursued any formal training. The lure of interstellar travel called to Jori and her brother, and they were able to obtain a ship with the help of Aarrba. However, luck was not something the Daragons were endowed with. They were continually in debt to Aarrba, and thought that they had finally broken even when they discovered a risky route known as the Goluud Corridor. They were black-balled by the Navigational Guild and disowned by Aarrba, and tried flee Cinnagar through the Starswarm Cluster, damaging their ship and forcing them to land on Korriban. They were then thrust into the middle of the power struggle between the ancient Sith Lords, who believed they were the advanced scouts of an Old Republic war fleet. Naga Sadow managed to sway her allegiance, and held her on Khar Delba in order to "protect" her from reprisal by the other Sith Lords. Sadow later returned the Starbreaker 12 to her, telling her that Gav was dead and that she needed to return to the Republic before the other Sith Lords launched an attack on the Republic. Sadow then used the information from the Starbreaker 12' navigational computer to gather information on the Old Republic. When she returned to Cinnagar - which was the only destination she had stored in the ship’s computer - she was arrested and charged with every conceivable crime in relation to her escape from Cinnagar. No one believed her claims that the Sith Empire was about to attack, and she was shipped off to Ronika as punishment for her crimes. She managed to escape on an ore drone ship, but was shot down over Empress Teta’s palace on Cinnagar. Once captured by Teta’s guards, Jori produced a Sith amulet she took from Korriban. This persuaded Odan-Urr and Teta to believe her story of an impending Sith attack. She later was reunited with her brother Gav, but only after he and his Massassi warriors had killed Aarba. She tried to talk to him and bring him back from the Dark Side of the Force, but was unsuccessful. She followed him to Primus Goluud, but was unable to rescue him from the failing meditiation sphere he’d taken from Naga Sadow. As Gav provided an escape route from the unstable star, Jori tearfully said goodbye to him as the exploding star consumed him. Later, she stood by Empress Teta’s side as they attacked Naga Sadow’s forces near the Denarii Nova, in the final act of the Great Hyperspace War. Upon defeating the Sith and returning to Cinnagar, Teta gave Jori the rights to own and operate Aarrba the Hutt’s starship repair facility for her assistance in the war. (GAS, FOSE)

Gli had previously helped Ra Yasht and Skarten research their academic paper on Porcellus the cook. When Jabba discovered Gli's assistance to the two academics, he had Gli killed and served up as dinner. (TJP)

Darillian, Zurel

this Imperial Navy Captain was a native of Coruscant. The house that he and his wife lived in was destroyed when Ysanne Isard extricated the Lusankya from its underground berth, and his wife died in the destruction. He was the Captain of the corvette Night Caller until the ship was infiltrated by Wraith Squadron. When Voort saBinring tried to disrupt the crew quarters by blasting them with a laser bolt, he was firing into what was actually the bridge because the of the ship's extensive modification from normal CR90 specifications. The laser blast ripped through the bridge, killing Darillian and plastering his remains on the ceiling of the bridge. The rest of the crew was so stunned, they could not mount a defense against the Gamorrean and surrendered. Garik "Face" Loran then assumed the identity of Darillian while the Wraiths continued to answer Zsinj's orders. He embellished the story of Darillian's wife's death by claiming that Darillian was actually in love with Isard. (WS)

Dark Lord of Beldarone

the title used by Flint after his training under Darth Vader. (EGC)

Dark Lords of the Sith

any of the most powerful students of the Sith teachings were candidates to become Dark Lords of the Sith, the equivalent of an all-powerful Jedi Master. The original Dark Lords descended from true Jedi Knights many millennia before the Great Sith War. They were cast out for their forays into the use of Dark Side magic, and exiled on the planet Korriban. There, they interbred with the native Sith race, growing stronger and more powerful as a result of the genetic combination. They expanded their realm into several nearby systems, and individual factions grew out of the isolation. The laws of the Sith dictate that only one Dark Lord can rule at any time. A ritual of ascension was performed, with the candidate being subjected to the bites of three deadly insectoids. If the candidate survived - through the use of intense Sith magic - they were declared the next Dark Lord of the Sith. They were forever marked by the bites, with a flaming sun scar on their forehead. Naga Sadow was one of the first Dark Lords to break away from the established ascension rituals, claiming himself Dark Lord after the death of Marka Ragnos without the consent of the other ruling Lords. Several centuries later, Freedon Nadd was unlucky enough to begin learning the Sith teaching under a young Dark Lord, and yearned to take the position from him. It is for this reason that Nadd went to Onderon. The ancient remains of the Dark Lords before Exar Kun were entombed on Korriban. Darth Vader is thought to have been the last of the Dark Lords. (SW, TOJ, DLS, TSW, GAS)

Dark Side Dragon

spawned from Lake Natth on Ambria, these mutated lizards have a limited ability to influence Force-sensitive beings around them. (TOJ)

Dark Side Familiar

any creature which has a basic touch with the Dark Side of the Force but is too limited to use it, these beasts often accompany those beings who wish to use the Dark Side of the Force in some way. A powerful Sith Lord could have a familiar, as could a lowly crime lord. The familiar acts as a channel for the Dark Side energies. (TOJ)

Dark Side of the Force

The Force, being an energy field, has opposing sides which normally balance each other. The Dark Side of the Force is the more seductive of the two, for its power and strength are easily obtained by the apprentice. However, the Dark Side is a cruel master, for in return for its ease of initiation, it continually drains its servants' life-energy. Among the highest achievements in the mastery of the Dark Side is the succession from student to master. While this is also true of the Light Side, the Dark Side requires that the student utterly destroy his master to prove his abilities. (SW, ROTJ, SWJ8)

Dark Side Nexus

any point in the spatial continuum that contains a great deal of Dark Side energy. These places were often guarded by Jedi Knights, so that the energies did not seduce passersby. Such a nexus was located on Dagobah, and Yoda forced Luke Skywalker into it, to confront his heritage. (DESB)

Darklighter, Biggs

a boyhood friend of Luke Skywalker's on Tatooine, Biggs was born into a wealthy family of food merchants on Tatooine. His father gave him everything he wanted, except love, and Biggs struggled to fit in with the other young adults at Anchorhead. He became good friends with Luke Skywalker, however, when Luke saw through the rich-boy image to the real person inside Biggs.

When Biggs' father's position and wealth provided a chance for him to attend the Academy, Biggs was hardly in a position to decline. He said goodbye to his friends and went off to the Academy, graduating with honors receiving a commission aboard the Rand Ecliptic. Biggs served under the Evader squadron aboard the Ecliptic, along with Hobbie Klivian, under Captain Heliesk. Both of them had contact with the Alliance, and helped Biggs became aware of the atrocities of the Empire. After a brief stop-over on Tatooine to say goodbye to Luke and his other friends, Biggs, Hobbie, and some others mutinied at Bestine and jumped ship to join the Alliance, with the help of Captain Heliesk.

When the time came to do battle with the Empire at Yavin, Biggs was named one of the X-wing pilots in Red Squadron. On Yavin 4, he was reunited with Luke just prior to the battle. In the Alliance's final run at the Death Star's polar trench, Biggs was killed while protecting Luke's back from the onrushing Imperial TIE Fighters. Biggs is portrayed by Garrick Hagon in Star Wars., and by Kale Browne for the Star Wars Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (SW, SWR, MTS, CCG)

Darklighter, Gavin

a native of Tatooine, he was a member of Rogue Squadron. He was a cousin of Biggs Darklighter. He was only sixteen when Wedge Antilles suggested that he be allowed to join. He was responsible for creating the emblem of Rogue Squadron, which featured a twelve-pointed, red star surrounding the blue symbol of the Alliance. Radiating from the points of the star were X-Wing fighters. When the Squadron resigned its commission with the New Republic after the liberation of Coruscant, he painted his X-Wing to resemble a krayt dragon. As the Rogues liberated Ciruscant, Gavin found himself drawn to the Bothan pilot, Asyr Sei'lar, and they became romantically involved. Their relationship was nearly shattered when Gavin's X-Wing was damaged during the capture of the Xucphra Alazhi. He limped to Halanit, only to have the Corrupter and the Thyferran Home Defense Corps track the colony down. Erisi Dlarit made him believe it was his own flight that led the Imperials to Halanit, but it was really Ysanne Isard tracing the shipment of bacta to its source. Gavin assisted the settlers as much as he could, but he was unable to stop the destruction of their outpost. (XWN, KT, BW)

Darklighter, Huff

Biggs Barklighter's father, Huff owned dozens of moisture farms on Tatooine, and bought water from other farmers at cut-rate prices. Some of the water he used in his own hydroponics facilities, while most was sold to other settlers at a high profit. He used his ability to locate water to become one of the planet's largest food magnates. In turn, he used his wealth to make sure Biggs got everything he deserved from life. Huff was not above bribing the local officials - both terrestrial and Imperial - to maintain his stature. He held his son in highest regard, and truly believed that Biggs was the only hero of the Battle of Yavin. Huff went so far as to say that Wedge Antilles was less than a hero for leaving the battle, despite the fact that Wedge was ordered out by Luke Skywalker. Huff tried to obtain ownership of the Lars moisture farm on Tatooine by initiating an alien landowner tax. The tax was geared toward breaking the alien Throgg's financial reserves, but Gavin's father intervened and bought the farm before Huff could enforce the tax. Huff’s dealings with the Imperial prefect on Tatooine allowed him a greater latitude in his dealings, and he worked hard to keep his competition at bay. However, Huff wasn’t perfect. He was tricked and swindled by Lirin Banolt, but managed to obtain an Imperial data disk containing information on the Eidolon Base weapons cache. The plans were stolen from his residence, but were eventually recovered by Rogue Squadron. The Essential Guide to Characters lists Huff's name as Hutt. (MTS, EGC, XWN, XWBT)

Darklighter, Jula

Gavin Darklighter's father and Huff Darklighter's brother, Jula was almost a twin to Huff in facial appearance. Jula, however, was a hands-on farmer who lacked the corpulence of wealth, and he did not have a moustache. He was unusually composed and restrained when in the company of Huff's lack of manners. (BW)

Darklighter, Laval

Huff Darklighter's third wife, she was Gavin Darklighter's aunt in two ways. She was actually his mother's sister, and married to his uncle. After Biggs' death, Huff wanted to make sure that he had heirs. Biggs' mother died shortly after he was born, and Huff's second wife didn't want any children. Laval, though, bore three children for Huff. (BW)

Darklighter, Silya

Jula Darklighter's wife, Silya was the sister of Laval Darklighter. They had similar appearances, but Silya was much more doting to her sons, especially Gavin. (BW)

Darklighter, Trepler

Darkon III

this planet was used as a stopover point by Dannen Lifehold. (SWAJ)

Darksaber

the name given to the modified Death Star design created by Bevel Lemelisk for Durga tha Hutt, the Darksaber station was an elongated version of the original. Durga used his pet taurills to help steal the plans from the original Death Star from the hidden computer files that were maintained by the New Republic on Coruscant. The Darksaber station was stripped of a number of unnecessary items, including TIE fighter hangers, crew quarters, AT-AT storage, and docking bays. Lemelisk rightly believed that Durga had no need of these; he just needed a superweapon with which to control the galaxy. The rounded cylinder of the Darksaber housed a longer, more powerful superlaser, which drew increased power from the station's existing generators simply because they didn't have to support all of the other systems. The superlaser was aligned along the longer axis of the station (much the way Umak Leth mounted the superlaser on the Eclipse-class Star Destroyer), and when activated the entire station and its beam resembled a huge, spaceborne lightsaber. Thus, Lemelisk dubbed the station "Darksaber." The Darksaber was constructed with the materials collected by the Orko SkyMine ships Durga had built. The living spaces of the station were designed to house hundreds of Hutts and their retinues. The project was beset with mishaps, due to the frugality of Durga, the ineptness of Sulamar, and the distractibility of the taurills who did the construction. Only Lemelisk's persistence kept it moving. However, when Durga finally took control of the ship, his frugality got the best of him. The station never made it out of the Hoth asteroid belt, as its superlaser failed to punch a path through the space rubble. The Darksaber was crushed between two huge planetoids and exploded. (DS)

this Kerestian weapon resembles a flat piece of metal about two centimeters thick, seven centimeters wide, and fifteen centimeters long. One end is rounded, the other is squared off. This part of the weapon is the handle, and has a power stud located about midway along its length. When depressed, the stud activates the weapon, extruding a pure black blade of light that bends slightly as it projects outward. The activated weapon resembles a boomerang, and can be wielded in the hand or thrown. The deep black blade will cut through most any material, making it difficult to catch when thrown. (GG12)

Darktroopers

  1. elite stormtrooper squads assigned to Operation Shadow Hand, they had been specially trained to use the Dark Side of the Force (DE2)
  2. the creation of Imperial Admiral Rom Mohc, the Dark Troopers were specially-enhanced stormtroopers. There were three stages of darktrooper development. Stage 1 involved the troopers wearing just the protective exoskeleton, equipped with knife-like armor and an arm-mounted personal shield generator. Stage 2 darktroopers wore the same exoskeleton, but were armed with assault cannons and rocket packs. Stage 3 darktroopers were never fully developed. Rom Mohc was the only known user of the Stage 3 design, which incorporated enhanced shields. (DF)

(TBH)

Darm, Umolly

this Newcomer lived in Ruby Gulch, on the planet Nam Chorios, and was one of the freedom fighters aligned with Seti Ashgad against the Oldtimers and Therans.

this man was the Captain of the Sky-Dreadnaught Maxion, serving in the Exocron Airfleet. His career started when he was twelve, after stowing away on a sky transport. He was discovered, and was indentured to the ship's captain to pay for his passage. After graduation from the Airfleet's academy, he commanded the relief ship Loristar during several key supply runs during the unification wars that rolled through Exocron. His valor and command skills earned him the appointment to the Maxion, and many feel that he would be the best candidate for the supreme commander of the Airfleet. However, Darr resisted any promotion that meant he would not be able to command a ship. (KO)

Darrin Arkanian

this Sullustan Jedi Knight was an idealist and a dreamer. He cherished life above all else, and strove to be a model of peace and contemplation. When Emperor Palpatine began hunting down the Jedi, Arkanian went into hiding, and took Corwin Shelvay as an apprentice. They were branded as outlaws and fugitives, and they roamed the Outer Rim in searching of surviving Jedi Knights. When Corwin was captured by High Inquisitor Tremayne, Arkanian infiltrated Coruscant to rescue his student. He was caught by Tremayne, and they engaged in a lightsaber duel. Arkanian lost, and was fatally injured before Shelvay could rescue him. Arkanian died a few days after they escaped from Coruscant. (GG9)

Darth Bane

this ancient Sith Lord was the last of his kind to survive the catastrophic struggle that consumed his order, some 2,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Recognizing that the Sith order was doomed to fail if it became too large, Bane waited until all the other Sith were destroyed by their brethren or the Jedi Knights, then established a set of rules that were dominated by the pretense that there could only be two Sith active in the galaxy at any time: a Master and an apprentice. Eventually, Bane took his own apprentice, and set his new order in motion. Future Sith Lords were taught the virtues of patience, planning, and secrecy. (TPM)

Darth Maul

this Sith Dark Lord was the apprentice of Darth Sidious, the mysterious force behind the Trade Federation’s blockade of Naboo. Maul was a student of the Dark Side of the Force, and wielded a two-bladed lightsaber much like Exar Kun did some 3,950 years earlier. Darth Maul was obvious by his heavily tattooed, horn-studded face, piercing yellow eyes, and rotting teeth. Sidious dispatched Maul when he learned from the Neimoidians that two Jedi Knights had been dispatched to negotiate a settlement to the blockade. When the Jedi - Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi - fled with Queen Amidala to Tatooine, Darth Maul followed at a safe distance. He nearly defeated Qui-Gon, but was unable to control him before they fled for Coruscant. Not to be outdone, Sidious then sent Maul to capture them on Naboo. There, while Queen Amidala’s forces attempted to capture Nute Gunray, Darth Maul confronted both Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon in the Theed palace’s power generation station. In a fierce battle, the three swordsman battled to a draw before they were separated by the station’s laser defense systems. When the defenses dropped, Maul and Qui-Gon were left alone to battle, and the Sith Lord defeated the Jedi with a quick jab of his blade. However, his victory was short-lived. When Obi-Wan was able to escape the laser system, he attacked with a renewed sense of purpose. His exuberence nearly cost him his life, when Darth Maul forced the young Jedi over the edge of a power shaft. Obi-Wan recovered and, using the Force to recover Qui-Gon’s lightsaber, caught Maul off-guard. The Jedi sliced his lightsaber through Maul’s midsection. The fatally injured Sith Lord toppled into the shaft and was lost forever. Darth Maul was acted by Ray Park and voiced by Peter Serafinowicz in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1)

Darth Sidious

this Dark Lord of the Sith was the driving force behind the Trade Federation, during the time it tried to subjugate the world of Naboo. He had control of specific elements of the Galactic Senate, and put in motion an intricate set of schemes to take control of the galaxy. He had trained his apprentice, Darth Maul, and was ready to bring his plans to fruition when Chancellor Valorum dispatched two Jedi Knights to Naboo to negotiate a settlement. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi thwarted his initial plans, and forced him to send Darth Maul after the pair. Meanwhile, Sidious continued to manipulate the Neimoidians, pushing the situation at Naboo as far as he could. When Queen Amidala returned to Naboo to deal with the situation herself, Sidious saw his carefully laid plans fall apart as the Neimoidians were defeated and the planet freed of its blockade, and Darth Maul was killed in battle by Obi-Wan Kenobi.

this man was Horzao Darr's second-in-command in the Exocron Combined Air-space Fleet. It was David who intercepted Talon Karrde when he arrived in the system to locate Jorj Car'das. When he and Car'das learned of Karrde's approach, they knew that they could use it as a way to draw the slaver - and their enemy - Rei'kas toward the Kathol Rift. They allowed Karrde to locate Exocron, thereby allowing Rei'kas to find the planet. When Rei'kas attacked, David made sure that none of his ships fired on them. He retreated toward Exocron, much to the disbelief of Karrde and his crew. When the Aing-Tii finally made their presence known, it was a quick firefight. In the end, the fleet Rei'kas has sent in was decimated, and Exocron was once again safely hidden. (VOF)

When one of the planet's four moons eclispes the sun Zelos, the darkened skies suddenly reveal the presence of the other three moons. They appear as if by magic as the planet is plunged into total darkness. The Zelosian fear of the dark is extremely heightened during this eclipse, and so this day is especially frightening to them. (PG2)

Dayark

this moon, which orbits the gas giant Nepe, in the Episol System of the Kathol Outback, is the most populous world in the Kathol Republic.

Daykim, Onibald

one of the feral humans living underneath Imperial City in the early years of the New Republic, he is the "king" of his group. He was a low-level servant of the Imperial Palace branch of the Corusca Bank, during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. A small accounting error committed by his staff resulted in the name of Emperor Palpatine going to the top of a public list of loan defaulters. Although the incorrect list existed in the public domain for a few hours, Palpatine nonetheless found out about it,and fired the entire board of directors before demanding the identity of the culprit. Daykim fled to the undercity, rather than face Palpatine's wrath, and has existed there ever since. He maintains a strong and hale body, but he has lost all of his teeth and his hair has begun to fall out from years of living underground. (DA, JASB)

Death Seed

this plague was virtually unstoppable when it was first discovered. The basis of the Death Seed is the creature called a droch, which can steal the life force energy from its victim once it bites the victim. If allowed to remain attached, the droch can quickly burrow into its victim. Once inside, it is absorbed into its victim, but continues to drain life energy from it. The victim dies from unknown, though obviously viral, causes. Bacta therapy was found to quicken the disease, because the bacta only provided the droch with a renewed source of life energy as the victim healed. The Death Seed was controlled by the huge droch Dzym, which maintained a link to the lower drochs while obtaining life energy from their vicitms. When Dzym and Seti Ashgad began their quest for galactic domination, they unleashed the Death Seed plague on the Meridian Sector. Only through Luke Skywalker’s communication with the Spook crystals on Nam Chorios was the plague defeated. The crystals agreed to be shipped off-planet, where they could help focus natural sunlight on the parasitic creatures. The Death Seed managed to wipe outnearly three-quarters of the sector before it was controlled. (POT)

Death Squadron

this grouping of capital ships was formed under the command of Admiral Ozzel, and was created to capture Alliance starships fleeing the Battle of Hoth. (CCG3)

Death Star

satellite-sized battle station designed by Tol Sivron at the Maw installation, and was built by Bevel Lemelisk and Imperial Engineering. Grand Moff Tarkin had asked for a superweapon with which he could control the entire Outer Rim Territory, and the Death Star was the result. It housed a huge superlaser which combined the output of multiple lasers into a single, focused beam. A huge focusing lens was built to accomplish this; it located on the upper hemisphere. The superlaser was designed to be targeted at anything from a capital ship to a planet. This objective was known only to a select few, for Tarkin and the Maw's top scientists decided that they should downplay the role of superweapon to keep the project on schedule. They told the project engineers that the station would be used to break down dead planets in an effort to reach the core of elements easier. The funding for the original Death Star came from funds diverted form the Departments of System Exploration and Public Works.

The interior of the initial Death Star was planned to have 84 unique levels, each 1,428 meters in height. Each level was subdivided into 357 sublevels. The entire design was then divided into two hemispheres, each with twelve zones.

The crew of the first Death Star design was 27,048 officers; 774,576 troops, pilots, and crewers; 378,576 support and maintenance crewers; 400,000 support droids; and 25,000 stormtroopers. The human inhabitants were provided with an array of parks, shopping centers, and entertainment facilities, since the average length of service aboard the station was to be six years without leave.

At the north pole of the station was constructed a 100-story tower, which was heavily shielded and virtually impenetrable. This tower held Palpatine's operational headquarters, for those times when he was aboard the station.

According to Imperial sources, this first Death Star took too long to construct, exceeding Palpatine's every deadline. It was built in orbit around the prison world Despayre. Labor for the construction was taken at will from the prison below. When the first Death Star was complete, Tarkin ordered the superlaser tested on the planet Despayre itself. Needless to say, this initial test exceeded even Tarkin's wildest dreams.

However, despite its formidable weaponry, the original design was flawed, as is vented its main reactor directly to the outside. This allowed the Alliance to fire proton torpedoes into the exhaust shaft and destroy the station. The original station was 120 kilometers in diameter.

The second model was modified to eliminate these flaws, and was slightly larger than the original at 160 kilometers in diameter. However, during its construction in orbit around Endor's forest moon, the Alliance succeeded in knocking out its primary shield and destroyed the main reactor, exploding the unfinished station.

The outer hull was made from quadanium steel for protection. For defensive measures, the Death Star was to house 4 capital ships, 7,200 TIE fighters, 3,600 Lambda-class assault shuttles, 2,480 blast boats, 1,860 drop ships, and 13,000 support craft. These included 1,400 AT-ATs, 1,400 AT-STs, 178 Mobile Command Bases, 1,420 repulsortanks, 1,420 repulsorcraft, 355 Floating Fortresses, and 4,843 Juggernauts.

The original Death Star had the following design features:

this cyborg assasin was the brain-child of the Imperial Moff Jesco Comark. Comark used his position as the head of Renik to syphon funds into the Death-Hunter project, and used Renik agents to kidnap strong, healthy humans between the ages of 15 and 25 for cyborging. Comark realized that the Empire couldn’t continue to use bounty hunters to do its dirty work, and developed an army of cyborged killers. He was able to obtain strong human subjects from the working population of Bescane, kidnapping individuals whenever the need arose. Comark also used the shipyards at Jaemus for his project, having them modify Sector Plexus courier droids for use as Death-Hunter transports. The Death-Hunter was an incredible combination of technological and physical abilities. The Death-Hunter’s eyesight was augmented with low-light and macrozoom enhancements. Hearing was increased with specialized receptors. Lifeform sensors were implanted to improved tracking ability. Several communications options were available to the cyborg, including a wideband receiver and a tightband antenna. The Death-Hunter project was exposed by Moff Comark’s own daughter, Amber Comark, who was operating under the guise of Alliance special agent Tigress. Much of the Death-Hunter project was destroyed when Alliance agents, working with Amber Comark, were able to eliminate Jesco Comark’s base on Zeta Zero Nine, in the Wastes. (SWJ9)

Death's Head

an Imperial-I class Star Destroyer under the command of Captain Harbid, the Death’s Head was part of Grand Admiral Thrawn’s fleet.

He built huge vaults on the planet's southern continent, and the starship Queen of Ranroon was en-route to deliver a huge shipment of war materiel when Xim fell at the Third Battle of Vontor. The Queen was hidden in the mountains near the vaults, until it was discovered by Han Solo and Badure.

To this end, he agreed to help the Empire subjugate the Ishanna System. Andos hoped that this would allow him to kill Streev and become Rabaan’s champion. He brought the Imperials to the Combat Moon just as Streev and the S’krrr Sh’shak were about to do battle. Andos brought with him a contingent of stormtroopers led by a man named Jan, and tried to lure Streev away. Streev was too quick, and he killed Jan before advancing on Andos.

It was named for Arles Demophon, one of the founders of the Scout Service. It was rumored that the Empire had sabotaged the system's stellar observatory, allowing them to keep the inhabitants quiet before they discovered their sun's imminent death. This would have allowed the Empire to continue to obtain rutgar-4 from Jatee, before the system's population tried to escape the coming cataclysm. (SN)

Dengar

a human bounty hunter commissioned by Darth Vader to locate the Millennium Falcon. He failed to locate Han Solo, but he built a loose partnership with Boba Fett. He grew up as a swoop racer on his native planet of Corellia, and was a member of the Ferini team before he was defeated by Han Solo in a private race. Dengar was severely injured in the race when he lost sight of Solo and flew underneath him. When Dengar tried to pull up, he slammed into Solo's swoop, causing severe facial and cranial traumas. He recovered, thanks to the prodigious efforts of the local health corps and the technical resources of the Empire. He was fitted for several cybernetic implants, including new eyes and a series of neural pathways to augment his damaged systems, and given a new set of memories and "programming." The Empire cut out his hypothalmus gland and inserted a central computer module to control the new systems. The Empire expected him to be a faithful assassin, and despite the erasure of his mind and emotions, Dengar continued to develope a great hatred for Solo. He spent a number of years recovering from the injuries suffered in the swoop crash. However, he memories began to intrude on his consciousness, and Dengar left Imperial service after being told to kill the holy children on Asrat. He decided to try his own hand at bounty hunting, and spent a number of years in remote sectors of space known only as ‘Payback’ while memories of Han Solo began to resurface. The Empire put out a warrant for his arrest. It was during this time that he first met Manaroo, after killing Kritkeen on Aruza. The old rage he felt against Solo caused Dengar to take bounties which bore resemblances to Solo, and Kritkeen was one of them. Dengar later answered the summons of the Empire when the bounty went out on Solo’s head, as Darth Vader gave him one chance to remain free if he captured Solo. Dengar failed to capture him, always one step behind Boba Fett. When Manaroo shared herself with him via her Attanni, Dengar suddenly got an insight on what it was like to be human again. He helped rescue her parents before landing in Mos Eisley. When Manaroo was captured by Jabba the Hutt’s henchmen, Dengar plotted to kill the crimelord. He insinuated himself into Jabba’s palace, outwardly helping to protect the Hutt from Alliance reprisal at the capture of Solo. When Fett approached him to celebrate Solo's capture and imminent death in the Pit of Carkoon, Dengar agreed and consumed some drugged Twi’leki liquor. He passed out, missing the trip to the Pit of Carkoon that should have ended with the deaths of Solo and Luke Skywalker. Instead, Jabba had him tied to the desert floor near the Teeth of Tatooine. Dengar managed to escape, driven by his fear that Manaroo was dead. She wasn’t, and she later found him as she seached the desert in a speeder she had stolen. They traveled to Mos Eisley, and Dengar slowly recovered from his wounds. He also agreed to marry Manaroo. In an effort to find enough money to pay their mounting bills, Dengar went out to the desert to find the remains of Jabba's sailbarge. He tried to locate Jabba's ident chip in the wreckage, but instead found the nearly-dead Boba Fett crawling from the sand. In return for saving his life, Fett agreed to be Dengar’s best man. After he married Manaroo and nursed Fett back to health, Dengar and Fett set out to hunt down Han Solo again. When they found him on Nar Shaddaa, they thought they had it made. Solo's escape further confounded Dengar and Fett, who were stranded on the spaceport moon. (ESB, DE1, MTS, DESB, EGC, TBH)

Madine was told to make the rebellious world cooperate, and to do so he planted the seeds of a Candorian plague there. Madine followed his orders, but he never felt good about doing it. During a series of military maneuvers on the planet, Madine simply disappeared from the Imperial armed forces. The Empire later blamed the plague, which killed nearly every living being on the planet, on the Alliance. The Alliance, however, discovered that the plague was similar to a plague that was unleashed on Sedesia. (DS, SWAJ)

Dentaal Independence Party

led by Hancc Rellow, the DIP was formed when the Empire took control of the planet Dentaal. Governor Taliff completely disbanded the ruling House of Dentaal, allowing the Empire to be in full control of the planet's politics. The surviving members of the house met in secret and formed the DIP, which eventually ousted Taliff in a bloody coup and reclaimed Dentaal for themselves.

His skill with mechanics earned him additional training, and he worked his way up to the position of an Imperial engineer working on the World Devastators. When the ship he was working on was attacked, he escaped in a lifepod and was rescued by the Alliance from the seas of Calamari. (DE1, DESB)

Dequc

In the Basic tongue, the word ‘Dequc’ means "whitehead." Dequc had many of his lieutenants impersonate him, hoping to drive off assassins. After using Captain Strok’s troops as a diversion, Mara quickly infiltrated Dequc’s offices in Wrils and beheaded one of his stand-ins. However, she found out that she had not executed Dequc, and was forced to rework her plans. It was during this time that Emperor Palpatine was killed over Endor, and Mara was imprisoned by Ysanne Isard. She infiltrated Dequc’s palace on Qiaxx, and used a bust of Prince Xizor to care out her plans. Mara Jade hid an remote control device inside it, along with her ligthsaber, in hopes of entering Dequc’s private chambers in order to execute the crimelord. She claimed that Xizor had hidden a treasure map inside it, and when Dequc opened it, she activated the remote control.

a major in the Alliance at the time of the Battle of Hoth, Derlin was in command of the security of Echo Base. It was Derlin who ordered the base secured, even though Luke Skywalker and Han Solo were still missing out in the snow-covered wastes. Derlin served as Han Solo’s second-in-command during the assault on the second Death Star’s shield generator on the Forest Moon of Endor. He remained with the armed forces after the Battle of Endor, and was eventually promoted to Colonel before serving on Coruscant when Thrawn attacked the planet. He earned the rank of Brigadier in the New Republic Defense Fleet before retiring. He later became the commander of the Alliance Veterans Victory Association, and maintained a position of trust and power within the New Republic. Major Derlin was portrayed by John Ratzenberger in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. (ESB, TLC, TT, ROJR)

Dermal Autostripper

found in many spas and resorts, this device is used by a number of alien races which continually shed their skin. (HSL)

Dermatoglyphic Identification

this form of indentifying individuals was developed by Jaso Corporation, and is often regarded as the finest physical identification system in the galaxy. Although not as precise as retinal scanning, it uses a database which is much more readily available to other systems. Dermatoglyphic identification takes a skin sample from the subject’s thumb or fingers, and a number of tests and analyses are performed on the sample. Cytoplasmic biopsies and chitinous accretion analysis are the most useful tests for those species which do not have dermatoglyphic patterns. This form of identification cannot distinguish between clones or other beings with identical genetic material, and scar tissue or artificial skin grafts produce no results at all.

One species which was abused by dermatoglyphic identification was the Wookiee race, because their hands and feet were often scarred during attempts to escape capture by Imperial slavers. Thus, the Imperials took skin samples from the sensitive skin on the Wookiees’ nose. (TA)

Dermeg

an Imperial governor overseeing activities on Ansillivog. He is a middle-aged male with thinning, though striking, blond hair. (RPG)

Derrbi Wastelands

a rocky area of the planet Romar. (SWAJ)

Derricote, Evir

a native of Kalla, Evir was an Imperial General who discovered the forgotten Alderaan Biotics facility on Borelais. He maneuvered his way into an assignment in the Pyria System, following the ambush of an Alliance supply convoy at Derra IV, and was eventually stationed on Borleias. He was a large, overweight man. He used a series of false requisitions and orders to funnel funding and security from the remnants of the Empire to fund his secret operation at the nearly-forgotten Alderaan Biotics hydroponics plant. He then supplied many black-market reellers with a continual flow of Alderaanian delicacies, and made almost three millions credits before being discovered by Kirtan Loor. Derricote also used similar tactics and bookkeeping maneuvers to strengthen the defenses around Borleias. He later was assigned by Ysanne Isard to develop the Krytos virus, using the aliens found in the Invisible Sector of Coruscant. It was later learned that he was using Diric Wessiri as an enslaved assistant, allowing Derricote to remain out of the actual contamination area. Once the Krytos virus was unleashed into the water system of Imperial City, Isard had Derricote imprisoned in the Lusankya facility. She feared that he might expose her if he was captured. He was killed in a scuffle with Corran Horn, who was also imprisoned at Lusankya. Horn was trying to escape, and was followed by Derricote. The prisoner Jan had seen Derricote slip away, and arrived as Derricote attacked Horn. Jan managed to deflect Derricote's initial attack, giving Horn time to smash Derricote's skull with a shovel.

It was later discovered that Derricote had a hidden storehouse of viruses aimed at various species throughout the galaxy, including the human race. (XWN, WG, KT, TEP)

Derris

an Alliance shuttle group captured in the Bruanii Sector following the Battle of Hoth. (TIE)

Deryvian Snake

a hissing reptile. (SWJ9)

Desaclates

this Exocron Airfleet cruiser captured a rogue Imperial probe droid near the planet, but was attacked by a group of pirates hoping to retrieve the droid. The crew of the FarStar assisted the Airfleet, under the command of Horzao Darr, and managed to drive off the pirate corsairs. Unfortunately, the Desaclates was severely damaged and crashed into the ocean of Exocron and was lost. The pirates managed to obtain the probe droid, but the ship on which it was being carried was caught under the Desaclates and was also destroyed. (KO)

Desargorr

this planet, part of the Allied Tion, is known for its beautiful mountain ranges. (ML)

Desert of Salma

a song written and played by the band Red Shift Limit. It was first released as part of the compilation Limited Warfare, and has been banned by the Imperial Board of Culture. (GG9)

Desertwind

this was the pseudonym given by Ylenic It'kla to the third Jedi who accompanied the Caamasi and Nejaa Halcyon to deal with Nikkos Tryis and the Jensaarai. The name was derived from the man's scent, which has powerful connotations for Caamasi. (IJ)

Desevro

this planet is part of the Allied Tion sector. (ML)

Desilijic

this is one of the most powerful Hutt kajidics. (EGC, THG)

Desnand, Feebee

this plump woman was Io Desnand’s wife. Feebee wore false eyelashes that were so large they resembled black-veined butterfly wings. She favored full-length, animal-skin jackets. When Io had the Trandoshan bounty hunter Bossk in captivity on Aida, she asked him to skin the beast to obtain a lizard-skin gown. (TBH)

Desnand, Io

this Imperial Governor was in control of the Aida and Lomabu Systems during the Galactic Civil War. He maintained a penal colony on Lomabu III, where he held several hundred Wookiees. He had planned to use the Wookiees as bait in a trap to capture a major portion of the Alliance fleet. However, Tinian I’att and Chenlambec had lured Bossk to Lomabu III at the same time, hoping to trap him by claiming the Trandoshan was there to poach Wookiee pelts. Desnand’s plans were foiled when Tinian and Chen trapped Bossk before he could launch his own plans. (TBH)

Desolate

the biologically-engineered starship used by Ber'asco and the Charon death cult to remove the "disease" of life from the realm of Otherspace. Like a massive organic castle in space, the Desolate is an amorphous mass of strange, weblike constructs measuring over 450 meters at its longest point. It acts like a magnet to any ships traveling in Otherspace, drawing them to it and collecting them in a weird belt which surrounds the ship. Those ships which contained information on new species of life were physically attached to the Desolate so that Ber’asco could obtain information necesssary to destroy them. The weapons systems of the ship are hidden in rocky pods which open to allow the firing of projectile weapons. The Desolate is a strangely dead ship, in keeping with the Charon beliefs surrounding the Void. Consequently, the Desolate seemed to be a black hole which consumed the Force. There were four main decks surrounding the central core, with a series of hollow tubes connecting adjacent levels. A docking bay of sorts is separated from the vacuum of space by a penetratable membrane which seals itself as ships pass through it. The main bridge was the site of a large, brain-like computer node. Ber’asco used this node to communicate with other lifeforms. The lowest part of the ship seemed to be a manufacturing facility for the Charon red mist.

After the Charon were first defeated by Alliance agents while in Otherspace, Ber’asco had his bioscientists create a hyperdrive for the Desolate, so that it could jump into realspace and attack the galaxy beyond. However, when Grand Moff Ravik’s mind took control of Ber’asco’s body, and Ber’asco’s mind took control of Bane Nothos’ body, the battle between the two caused a small amount of damage to the ship’s control systems. Rather than emerging over the planet Stronghold, the Desolate smashed into the world, sustaining huge amounts of damage as it skidded over the rocky surface. The ship was abandoned on Stronghold, after Alliance soldiers overcame the Charon and defeated Ravik. (OS, OS2)

Desolator

this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was assigned to Admiral Grendeef and the Miser base. It was destroyed when Alliance agents, trying to recover the Isis cordinates from the crew of the Wanderer, reprogrammed the Star Destroyer's navigational comupter. The Desolator made a sudden jump to hyperspace, and re-emerged at the center of the rogue star G-138. All hands were lost, including Admiral Grendeef. (IC)

Despayre

a planet in the Horuz system, it was used as a penal colony by the Empire. The planet was covered in thick jungles that were fed by wide rivers and shallow seas. An abundance of lifeforms inhabited the jungles, and many were predacious. Captives in the penal colony were held in check with the threat of leaving them outside the colony's walls to fend for themselves. It here that the Empire found a willing, if unruly, source of labor for the construction of the first Death Star. The huge battle station was erected in orbit, without regards to the prisoners or the planet. The prisoners didn't realize it at the time, but the huge amount of scrap and debris that was created and left in orbit effectively sealed the planet off from outside contact, since no sane pilot would fly his ship through the chaf. When the prisoners became too unruly to effectively work on the Death Star, Tarkin went to Kashyyyk and captured some Wookiees to use as slaves. Once the battle station was complete, Tarkin ordered the new superlaser tested immediately. The Empire's first successful use of the weapon came when Tarkin fired on Despayre itself, killing all of the native life, the slave labor, and destroying the planet. (MTS, DS, DSTC)

Despecto

a Selonian word meaning "honorable." (AS)

Despot

Deston

one of the planet Pantolomin's larger islands. (DFRSB)

Destroyer Droid

these huge, mobile weapons platforms were created by the Trade Federation to augment their legions of battle droids. Destroyer droids were built on a platform that could curl in upon itself and roll into battle. Once deployed, the destroyer would unfold itself, steadying its massive form on three stout legs. Its arms were studded with laser cannons and projectile launchers, and its head was filled with sensitive sensors and detectors used to local its targets. (SW1)

Destroyer-I

this was one of Kuat Drive Yards' ion engine designs. They saw duty as the primary sublight drive systems on Imperial-class Star Destroyers. (EGV)

Detainment droid

floating prison guards equipped with four arms. (DE1)

Detention Task Force

this study group was formed within the Corporate Sector Authority to analyze the costs and methods of imprisonment in various Authority and Imperial prison facilities. They determined that the New Order would likely lead to rebellion, and that a new breed of prison would be required to maintain larger numbers of criminals. They proposed the Stars' End project, and were involved in the initial design. The conclusion of the task force was that criminals could be stored in stasis booths, maintained in suspended animation until their sentences were up. This cut down on most operational costs - like food, clothing, and accommodations - while ensuring the safety of the prisoners. (CSA)

Detien Kaileel

this Kabieroun served as the Kuari Princess' chief of security during the later years of the New Order. He fled his homeworld of Kabieroun several years before the Empire began subjugating the world, and studied police science at Balaidas Academy before the Empire closed it to non-humans. Detien then spent twenty or so years as a detective for the Mid-Rim Sentinel Agency before hiring on with Galaxy Tours as a security officer. A good friend of Celia Durasha and Dap Nechel, neither knew that Kaileel was also a supporter of the Alliance. On several runs with the Princess, Kaileel had been delivering guns and supplies to the underground on Mantooine, which had attracted the attention of Adion Lang and the ISB. When he was arrested aboard the Princess, Celia tried to rescue him from prison. She didn't believe that the rebellion was correct until Kaileel revealed that the Empire had destroyed Alderaan. When he was captured by Lang, his resistance led to his demise as Lang shot him before he could board his shuttle and escape. (TFE, SWJ8)

Detonite

Devaron

this temperate world is home to the Devaronians and their cousins, the Devish. The terrain of Devaron is made up a low mountain ranges with deep valleys, shallow lakes, and thousands of rivers. (GG4, SCRE)

Devaronian

these aliens are one of the most unique races in the galaxy, as their male and female sexes are so vastly different in appearance and temperament. The males are docile, non-aggresive creatures with smooth, hairless skin and short horns on their heads. They takes great pride in their horns, and groom them quite regularly. The females, on the other hand, are covered in calico fur and do not have horns. They are aggressive by nature, and tend to dominate their culture. It is believed that they are descended from a race of primates that lived in the mountains of Devaron, their homeworld, and that their horns were a genetic mutation that proved useful in fending off predatory brids. Devaronians are carnivores and in general, have an efficient metabolism, consuming nearly every bit of food they eat. This means that they don’t go to the toilet as often as other races. Devaronians were one of the first races to discover the secrets to space travel and develop stardrives. (SW, SCRE, GG4, TBH)

Devaronian Blood-poison

this strange gemstone is a strange silver color. When the stone is rubbed into an open wound, or used as a weapon to pierce flesh, it inflicts a painful poisoning into the bloodstream, which lingers for weeks unless treated immediately. (TPS)

Devastator

an Imperial-I class Star Destroyer famous for its capture of the Rebel ship Tantive IV, the Devastator was Darth Vader's personal flagship until the Battle of Yavin. Prior to Vader's command, the Devastator. was the flagship of Lord Tion, who commanded it during the destruction of an Alliance based on Ralltiir before his defection. It was later assigned to the fleet commanded by Darth Vader aboard the Executor. (SWR, SWSB)

Devastator Torpedo

this weapon was developed during the last years of the Galactic Civil War by the Empire. Rolf Treidum and his fleet of ships patrolling the Kathol Outback used one of these weapons on the planet Danoor, after Waric Nane failed to keep the FarStar and her crew on the planet. The torpedo was launched at the planet, and created a blast radius of about 5 kilometers. Everything within the blast was obliterated. The only drawback to the use of the devastator torpedo is that its launching system takes several minutes to recharge between shots. (KO)

Devato

this searing ball of rock is the first planet in the Lianna System. (ML)

DeVay, Varel

this young woman was the xenobiologist serving aboard the FarStar during its attempts to intercept Moff Sarne in Kathol Sector following the Battle of Endor. She grew up on a Core world, the pampered daughter of wealthy parents, and could have attended any university she chose. Despite her parents' wishes, she decided to follow her own path and study xenobiology. After graduation, she took a job working for a small company on Kal'Shebbol, but found herself actually working for Moff Sarne as a bioweapons developer. When the New Republic liberated Kal'Shebbol and forced Sarne into hiding, Varel opted to serve aboard the FarStar rather than return home. (KO)

Devir

this Krytollak empress ruled her people during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. She had access to Imperial observers who helped her govern the planet Thandruss, in response to the Krytollak support of the New Order. (GG12)

Devish

another race of Devaronians, the Devish resemble their cousins outwardly, but there are several social and physical differences. The male Devish are born with sharp teeth used for hunting. The females are born with the sharp and blunt molars, and can survive on food that would kill most males. About one male in every fifty is born with both sets of teeth, making him a kind of solitary but useful hunter. Those Devish, male or female, with two sets of teeth, have the molars on the outer set and the sharp teeth on the inner set. The molars can be retracted, leaving the sharp teeth clear for ripping meat. (TME)

Devisors

this social strata was the higher of the two which developed over the millennia on Exocron. Descended from the original engineers aboard the Exocros Cabal, the Devisors were responsible for maintaining a safe and "good" level of technology for the rest of the planet's inhabitants. The Devisors believed that technology and space travel were inherently evil, and made sure that nothing new would come to harm the other colonists. This division of the population made the Devisors the unstated rulers of Exocron. However, there were several pirate groups and corsairs who believed that the Devisors were holding the people of Exocron from joining the rest of the galaxy. One group, led by Eida Sharden, managed to finally break the Devisors' hold on the population. After assisting Horzao Darr and Kaiya Adrimetrum in freeing the FarStar, Pagda Gevtes was captured and the Devisors were reduced in stature. (KO)

Devist, Carib

this tallgrain farmer from the Dorchess Valley of the planet Pakrik Minor was actually one of the sleeper agents dispersed throughout the galaxy by Grand Admiral Thrawn, and was a member of cell Jenth-44. Carib was "activated" by Grodin Tierce, shortly after the revelation of the Caamas Document. Like his brother, Sabmin, Carib was also a clone of Soontir Fel, bred for his piloting skills in case Thrawn needed additional pilots in his war against the New Republic. However, Fel's love of the outdoors and his family somehow made it into his makeup, and the Devists decided that they didn't want to fight when the orders came through. They opted to negotiate with Leia Organa-Solo for their freedom. Carib agreed to help the New Republic by taking a doctored recording of an alien starship to the nearest Ubiqtorate base, in hopes that it would be rerouted to Bastion. Han Solo and Lando Calrissian could then travel to Bastion and retrieve a copy of the Caamas Document. In the meantime, Devist agreed to served as the diplomatic representative to the New Republic from Pakrik Minor. He threw in his full support of President Gavrisom, and was used as a rallying point. He was also able to identify several Imperial ships among those gathered around Bothawui, and was instrumental in the discovery of the Tyrannic. (SOP, VOF)

this tallgrain farmer was the brother of Carib Devist, and was also a sleeper agent in cell Jenth-44, planted by Grand Admiral Thrawn. Sabmin was the first agent on Pakrik Minor to receive Imperial notification that the agents had been activated, and organized the agents for action. Like his brother, Carib, Sabmin was also a clone of Soontir Fel, bred for his piloting skills in case Thrawn needed additional pilots in his war against the New Republic. However, Fel's love of the outdoors and his family somehow made it into his makeup, and the Devists decided that they didn't want to fight when the orders came through. They opted to negotiate with Leia Organa-Solo for their freedom. (SOP, VOF)

Dewback

large, omnivorous, dinosaur-like lizards found in the deserts of Tatooine and Breeka, dewbacks are named for the sweat they exude during periods of rest. The dew-like sweat collects along the scales of their backs, and is often collected for medicinal purposes. They are solitary animals for most of the year. They congregate in the Jundland Wastes each year to participate in a huge, orgiastic mating ritual. The eggs are then left behind. They young must fend for themselves once hatched. Faster and more agile than a Bantha, Dewbacks can be trained for use as mounts. However, any domesticated Dewback must be set free each year for the mating season. They are also used as a food source by humans and Tusken Raiders. Dewbacks are active during the heat of the day, but become sluggish during the cold desert nights. (SW, JS, SWSB, GG7, XWWP, GF)

this 600-year-old female Wookiee joined Garris Shrike on the Trader’s Luck as a chef, following the exiling of her husband, Isshaddik. Known to her friends as Dewlanna, she befriended Han Solo, and kept watch over him. It was this love that Han never forgot, and eventually led to his association with Chewbacca. Dewlanna was the one who discovered that Han’s last name was Solo, during one of Shrike’s fits of drunken bragging. When Solo attempted to escape from the Luck and start his own life, Dewlanna gave him a bagful of credits. When Shrike caught Solo, Dewlanna stepped into make sure Han got away.

Dewplates

a thick-growing jungle planet native to Dathomir. (CPL)

Deyer

homeworld of Kyp Durron's parents. It was a terraformed world, with raft cities anchored in manmade lakes, located in the Anoat System. It was once a successful fish-farming colony, aquaformed to make the most of the fish. Located near the Ison Corridor and the Corellian Trade Spine, it was within easy access of many Old Republic supply lines. The colonists ruled themselves under the auspices of the Old Republic, but the rise of the New Order saw widespread misuse of the farming facilities. The Empire polluted the waters and killed off the fish. Since the fall of the Empire, Deyer has become just another backwater world. Its days lasts 28 standard hours, and its year lasts 389 local days. (JS, JASB)

Deysum III

Df

this unit of measure is used by weapons manufacturers, and describes the range (in kilometers) over which a single tube charge loses eight percent of its energy. It was initially developed by the Sumrias race, and says that the weapon loses half its charge at 8 Df. (ISB)

DF.1

designation of the Golan Arms spray blaster. (ISB)

DF.9

Golan Arms' anti-infantry battery, the DF.9 (also known as the SP.9) is a turret-mounted medium laser weapon. The turret can be mobilized for deployment, but the weapon's mechanics require it to be constantly maintained. It has a proton-shielded control cylinder, and the weapons sit on top of it. (ISB, CFG)

DF.9/B

a follow-on to the Golan Arms DF.9, the DF.9/B is essentially a DF.9 battery mounted on a four-meter tower. This weapon is a fixed-installation weapon only, and rapidly gained popularity during the Galactic Civil War. (ISB)

Dharus

this Outer Rim privateer operated along the Territory's Leisure Corridor. Dharus was an orange-brown-skinned humanoid of unknown origin. His eyes glowed a deep scarlet. He was a fun-loving thrill-seeker, but was also wanted by the Empire. Zardra once tried to claim the bounty on Dharus' head, and nearly caught him on board the Culroon Minstrel. Dharus escaped, but was eventually brought to trial by the Empire. He was let go on circumstantial evidence, and has secretly worked for the Alliance ever since. (GG9)

Dhashaan Shield

this mercenary outfit was hired by the Nhoras race to assist in defending their world from attack by the Clatear. (SOP)

Dheendo

this Rodian was at one time an average bounty hunter working for the crimelord Tyu. He never had the cunning and bloodthirstiness that most members of his species have, and so he left Tyu's employment and joined the Alliance. Dheendo made his way into Shroud Team, serving under Dutra Zeneta as their chief foster agent. He idolized Dutra Zeneta, and worked to be as wise as he thought Zeneta was. (SWJ10)

Dhislug

this creature is native to the planet Algara II, and reaches lengths of three meters or more. These python-like mollusks exude a burning, acidic slime which helps them kill their prey. Their eyes are useless. Instead, they use two antennae to locate prey, which they draw into a toothless mouth after the acidic slime has started to break it down. (PG2)

Dhol

this octopus-like ruler of Cheelit was an avid Firepath player. She existed in a floating glass globe. When Darth Vader tried to escape from the Guild of Vindicators, he attempted to lure them to him by playing Firepath with Dhol. She agreed, and Vader played the role of inferior to a tea. She played a masterful game, but Vader's game was better. The assassin Clat the Shamer was lured onto the gameboard, where he was quickly defeated by Vader's pieces and destroyed. To further punctuate his victory, Vader incinerated Dhol in a blast of fire from the gameboard. (CSWDW)

DH107

Herzfall Corporation's head-mounted communications device, it resolved the jamming problems encountered when using SoroSuub's DH77 headcomm. They were used in stormtrooper helmets. The DH107 had a special decoding sequence built into its firmware, which was activated when the helmet was placed on the trooper’s head. It randomly changed frequencies according to a platoon shifting sequence, which made tracking the transmission nearly impossible. The sequence could only be halted by throwing a small tongue switch as the trooper removed the helmet. Otherwise, the decoding sequence would be erased, rendering the communications system useless. Airen Cracken once found that, if a person linked a sabacc skifter to the DH107 module, the skifter could relay information about what frequency was most likely to be used next. (ISB, CFG)

DH77

SoroSuub's version of a lightweight communications device which can be attached to headgear (helmet, headset, etc.). Designed for use in stormtrooper helmets, they were replaced by Herzfall's DH107 because the DH77 was easily jammed by high energy particle emissions. (ISB, CFG)

Di’tai’ni

this planet, the homeworld of the Tai’ni race, was aligned with the New Republic, and maintained a starfighter base. (SOP)

Mara Jade tracked the Cavrilhu Pirates that were fleeing their Kauran asteroid base to this planet before losing them completely, shortly after Luke Skywalker infiltrated the Kauron base. The planet is famous for the singfruit trees that grow there. (SOP)

Diablo's Cut

a treacherous part of Beggar's Canyon on Tatooine. (EGC)

Diamal

this white-maned race of sentients was involved in a minor shipping security dispute with the Ishori, shortly before the Caamas Incident. The Diamals didn’t trust the Ishori patrol ships which escorted Diamalan transports into Ishori ports. Han Solo and Luke Skywalker tried to resolve the conflict, but were unable to do so. Instead, the dispute grew into a large-scale political battle with the revelations of the Bothan involvement in the destruction of Caamas. The Diamlan Senators firmly believed in the "forgive and forget" solution to the problem, while the Ishori wanted justice to take more physical form. They are a very honorable race, and respected the heroes of the Galactic Civil War. They are also very stoic, often described as unemotional. (SOP)

Diamala

this is the common name used to describe the collective Diamal race. (SOP)

Diamond Level

Dianoga

the snake-like creature that inhabited the first Death Star's trash compactor, it had seven tentacles and a single eyestalk. Its origins have been traced to the planet Vodran, a swampy world where the dianoga has had to develop a tranparent camouflage in order to escape from the planet's large predators. The dianoga, also called a garbage squid, has migrated off the planet, following the scent of garbage to starships and stowing away. They grow to be an average of 5-6 meters in length, although specimens of 10 meters are not unheard of. Their bodies, when unfed, become transparent. They change to reflect the colors of their food once they have eaten. (SW, MTS)

Dianoga Pie

It is approximately 25,000 kilometers in diameter. Due to its large land masses, the planet used to be ravaged by huge, city-sized tornadoes that streaked around the entire planet. This required that a series of large weather-control satellites be launched into orbit, in order to keep the farms running without a major disaster each year. (LCF)

After hatching from their pupal stage, they grow almost immediately into adults. The adults are nothing short of killing machines which prefer to dine on living flesh, despite the fact that they are less than a foot tall. The ball-shaped adults move about on two long legs, and use their arms to help them climb and grasp objects. Their whip-like tail is tipped with a dagger-like claw. The skin of the adult divvik is impervious to blaster fire, and their bite contains an acidic poisonous saliva which causes paralysis in most species, and can eat through plastisteel over time. If injured or otherwise cut, the divvik releases a toxic gas from their digestive system. The only safe way to eliminate a divvik is to suffocate it, but this often takes a long time. (PTR)

He was also appointed a General in the Thyferran Home Defense Corps when Ysanne Isard took control of Thyferra. He had no real duties, but was a perfect public relations man for Isard. He was also Erisi Dlarit's father, which made him a prime target for Rogue Squadron's ground forces during the early stages of the Battle of Thyferra. They made an assault on the Dlarit estate, which was set on a small knoll at the base of an extinct volcano and protected by a ring of Comar TriTracker batteries. In an effort to stir up the Vratix and embarras the Bacta Cartel, Aerin was executed by Elscol Loro and Iella Wessiri and left in his den, slumped over the desk and completely naked. (BW)

Dlarit, Erisi

a native of Thyferra, she was selected to become a member of X-Wing Rogue Squadron because she was also a member of the Xucphra faction, and was thought to have been complementary to the addition of Bror Jave to the Squadron. However, it was later discovered that Dlarit was actually working as a spy for Ysanne Isard and the Imperial factions which supported the bacta cartels. She was planted to provide information on the New Republic's reactions to the Krytos virus, which would guarantee that the bacta cartels would continue to monopolize the market under Imperial control. She was discovered as a spy when her ship malfunctioned and was captured by the Lusankya as it escaped from Coruscant. Her astromech reported no malfunction, and relayed the deliberate flight plan that took her into the Lusankya's holds. Once back on Thyferra, Erisi was appointed a flight leader among the Thyferran Home Defense Corps, and became romantically involved with Fliry Vorru. Their romance was short-lived, though, as Vorru was taken prisoner by Iella Wessiri and Elscol Loro, and Erisi was forced into defending her homeworld in the Battle of Thyferra. She managed to destroy Nawara Ven's X-Wing, but the Twi'lek managed to eject before being engulfed in flames. She was rewarded by becoming the target of Corran Horn, who managed to fire on her before she could escape to hyperspace. Horn's shots were on-target, and Erisi was killed when her ship simply disintegrated. (XWN, WG, KT, BW)

He has strange, bluish skin and light eyes, and the skin on his face was horribly scarred from a attack by a Corellian sand panther. As a native of Geran, Doallyn required hydron-3 in the air he breathed. Thus, when he came to Tatooine, a trace-breather was added to the helmet he wore as part of his hunter's armor. Doallyn was captivated by the sights and sounds of Mos Eisley, and sampled too much liquor when he arrived. He ended up in a high-stakes game of wildstar and woke up to find he had signed on as one of Jabba's palace guards for a year. Jabba kept Doallyn dependent and loyal by doling out daily doses of hydron-3. When Jabba left for the Pit of Carkoon to execute Luke Skywalker, Doallyn was left behind. There, he befriended Yarna d'al' Gargan. They both were met by Tessek when he returned from the Pit with news of Jabba's death, but neither listened to Tessek when he stated he was in charge of the palace. Instead, they fled the palace and headed to Mos Eisley, to rescue Yarna's cubs. Along the way, Doallyn made use of his knowledge of the krayt dragon to kill one that got in their way. He took the pearls from the beast's belly and saved them for Yarna, who used them to pay for the release of her cubs. The group then left Tatooine, stopping first on Geran before deciding to live as free traders aboard their starship. (TJP)

Doc

  1. formerly known as Klaus Vandangante, Doc was an only child born on the planet Coruscant. He was doted on by his widowed mother, Carmilla Vandangante, living in luxury and privilege. As a youth, this was maddeningly boring, and he rebelled by programming the droids to stop feeding him food he didn't like. His mother and tutors discovered his "new talents," and restructured his lessons. Klaus soon became a gifted student, and graduated with honors.Following graduation, Klaus was offered a job with Alkherrodyne Propulsions. He quickly accepted, but was unprepared for corporate life. Alkherrodyne had a company policy of programmed obsolescense, something that Klaus didn't learn in school. He chafed against the ideals of creating useful, reliable tools and the need to maintain the bottom line. When Alkherrodyne's Azaria 66 began exploding in the field, they needed a scapegoat to blame it on. They chose Klaus, who was summarily fired and taken to court. After several legal battles, Klaus Vandangante was financially and professionally bankrupt. The fact that Alkherrodyne also went bankrupt was of little consequence, for Klaus no longer existed. He began wandering the galaxy as the spacer called Doc, and found himself in Corporate Sector space. There, he met the beautiful young smuggler Shardra, who introducde him to her own network of spacers. He found work as a starship mechanic, showing an incredible ability to make any modification work reliably, and his results were highly effective. He fell in love with Shardra, and the couple soon gave birth to a daughter, Jessa. However, Shardra's sudden death in a fuel dump explosion once again rocked Doc's world. This time, however, he had Jessa to fall back on, and he dedicated himself to her education and growth. She, like her father, showed a great mechanical aptitude, and she stayed on with him to further his outlaw tech business. He and Jessa recruited the best techs they could find, and have been helping everyone from smugglers to the Alliance. This is how they got tangled up with Han Solo, a brash young pilot who was constantly repairing his ship, the Millennium Falcon. However, Doc's repairs soon came under the scrutiny of the Corporate Sector Authority, who had laid out the regulations for starship modifications. Much of Doc's work involved skirting these regulations and most of his modifications were deemed illegal. Doc suddenly disappeared, part of the sector-wide sweep of criminals placed in the Stars' End detention facility.Han Solo trusted Doc to make most repairs to the Falcon, and went to see him when the loss of his sensor dish in a weapons run to Duroon. However, Doc had already been kidnapped for incarceration at Stars' End. When Han learned this, he agreed to help Jessa rescue Doc. Han and his group of adventurers were able to infiltrated the detention center and rescue the captives, including Doc, who returned to his modification business with Jessa. (HSE, CSA)
  2. this was the nickname given to the FX-series medical droid modified by Massad Thrumble. Doc - originally designated AOI-C - was a one-of-a-kind, and had the upper section of the FX series mounted on a treaded base. Thrumble programmed the droid with top-of-the-line medical and surgical skills, and gave it the necessary tools to perform surgery on any number of species. Doc considered the reprogramming of Guri- who rescued the droid from Spinda Caveel - to be a "wonderful technical challenge." (SEE)

Dodonna, Jan

Jan Dodonna was one of the Old Republic's foremost military tacticians. Along with his friend and comrade Adar Tallon, they were a formidable pair. Tallon's ability to manipulate ship-to-ship combat complimented Dodonna's logistical mind and siege tactics. Dodonna was one of the first Star Destroyer Captains for the Old Republic. When Dodonna first heard of Tallon's death, he retired. Soon after, Palpatine's New Order was implemented, and the military records of the Old Republic's finest officers were scrutinized. Dodonna was deemed too old to retrain, and was ordered for execution. A timely intervention by the Alliance, coupled with the knowledge of him impending execution, turned Dodonna toward the Alliance. He defected to the Alliance, and became one of their greatest strategists. Deep in his heart, he felt the need to help the Alliance turn the tide, for he saw the Empire using is greatest strategies against the Alliance, primarily in the Siege of Dalron V and the infamous Project Asteroid. He was placed in charge of the attack on the first Death Star, and agonized without sleep over the plans delivered by Leia Organa. His keen insight discovered the flaw in the reactor shaft, and he organized the snubfighter battle around it.

With the Death Star gone, Dodonna was placed in charge of defending Yavin 4 until a new base could be found. He discovered that his son, Vrad, had been severely injured in an attack on the Super Star Destroyer Executor, and later died of his injuries. He helped destroy a wing of Imperial TIE Bombers that attacked Yavin 4, but was critically wounded in the battle. He was captured by the Imperials, and was imprisoned at the Lusankya facility. Known as the "Old Man," Dodonna was the unofficial leader of the prisoners working in the mines when Corran Horn was sent there. Jan helped Corran escape the facility, but couldn't escape with Horn without endangering the other prisoners. When Horn made his attempt, Jan noticed that Evir Derricote was attempting to follow him. Jan pursued Derricote and deflected his first attack on Horn. Corran was able to kill Derricote with the very shovel Derricote attacked him with. Jan remained behind when Corran left, and was probably transported to Thyferra when the Lusankya left Coruscant.

Dodonna was eventually rescued by the Alliance and was also reunited with Adar Tallon, who had been discovered hiding on Tatooine and persuaded to join the Alliance. The two, along with Vanden Willard, were known as the "Gray Cadre" among the Alliance's military.

Dodonna was able to use his battle knowledge to develop the Battle Analysis Computer. The BAC first saw action at Bakura. Dodonna went on to become a competent statesman for the New Republic before he retired to New Alderaan, thinking that most of the battle was over. He was quite surprised at the advent of Grand Admiral Thrawn and the new life shown by the remnants of the Empire, and so he came out of retirement and became one of the New Republic's most trusted military advisors, helping to turn the tide during the Battle of Calamari. Dodonna is portrayed by Alex McCrindle in Star Wars.

He faked battle damaged to his shuttle with a blaster and returned to Yavin 4. Han Solo and Luke Skywalker were able to see through the deception, but couldn't decide how to approach General Dodonna about it. In an effort to make up for his perceived cowardice, Vrad volunteered to take the last power gem into battle against the Executor. Dodonna named Luke as his backup, which worried Luke. Luke confronted Vrad about his suspicions, but Vrad knocked him unconscious. They had to put their differences aside as the mission began, but Vrad panicked when he encountered the ship again. He was able to penetrate the Star Destroyer's defenses and momentarily drop some of its shields, but the power gem's effects were short-lived, and the Executor survived. Vrad then landed on a small moon and dropped off Luke, them returned to ram the Star Destroyer with his own ship, sacrificing himself in hopes of doing more damage to the Executor. Following Vrad's death, Luke was promoted to Commander. Note that the Star Wars Radio Drama indicates Luke wasn't promoted to Commander until Narra's death. (CSW)

Dolph

this native of Almania was somewhat Force sensitive. At a young age, he witnessed the brutality of the Je'Har, as they ravaged his village and took his parents prisoner. He managed to avoid capture, only to witness his parents' deaths. The Je'Har had them tied to posts and left to suffer in the harsh, summer sun outside their palace. It took his parents a week to die of hunger, dehydration, and sunstroke. He never forgot this, even when he began training as a Jedi under Luke Skywalker. One of several students who left the praxeum, Dolph returned to Almania with a plan to avenge his parents and gain control of the galaxy. Dolph felt that the Light and Dark sides of the Force were descriptions used by the Jedi to limit their students. He felt that Darth Vader returned to the Light Side only because he had nothing left to live for. Using the failed Jedi Brakiss as a tool, and gathering a substantial force around him, Dolph assumed the monicker of Kuellar, an ancient Almanian army general who was ruthless in his approach. As Kuellar, he exterminated the Je'Har by planting specially-built droids in their midst. He adopted the use of a Hendanyn death mask after discovering one among the ruins of the Je'Har temples, and began collecting similar masks from around the galaxy. The droids he used to defeat the Je'Har were built by Brakiss, and contained remotely-controlled bombs. The droids had been two years in the making and distribution. Dolph detonated the droids at a specific time, wiping out all but the Je'Har leaders. The leaders he captured and tortured for a week, avenging the deaths of his parents. Next, he used similar tactics to wipe out the population of Pydyr, the affluent moon of Almania. He then placed similar droids - as well as specially-rigged flight computers for new X-Wings - in the possession of the New Republic. He used a series of smuggling contacts in the Smuggler's Run to deliver the bombs. He succeeded in destroying the Senate Assembly Chamber, and began to terrorize Leia Organa-Solo via the Force. As the New Republic began to discover what he was all about, he drew Luke Skywalker and Leia to Almania. There, he hobbled Luke and tried to capture Leia. However, the intervention of Han Solo and a shipment of ysalamiri blovked Dolph from the Force, and allowed Leia to break through his visions and clearly see him. She shot him in the head with a blaster, ending his reign of terror. (TNR)

Doluff, Lob

the Administrator Senior of the Oseon System, Lob Doluff knew that Lando Calrissian had won a huge profit in the system while playing sabacc. He invited Lando back to the system from Dilonexa XXIII to play some more sabacc. Lob Doluff is a pear-shaped man with a dark beard and a bald head. He has been described as having an ingratiating manner, and although he is an enthusiastic sabacc player, he isn't very good. He collects flowering plants as a hobby, concentrating on those species that are beautiful, fragrant, and persistent. He is also heavily addicted to the drug lesai. Doluff had been trying to arrest Bohhuah Mutdah for awhile, and saw Lando as a way to get near him. When Lando killed Kenow on Oseon 6845, Doluff charged him with carrying a concealed weapon - a capital offense - but gave him an out, provided Lando would transport Bassi Vobah and Waywa Fybot to Mutdah's asteroid during the Flamewind.

However, it was damaged in battle against the Crimson Nova pirates near F'Dann IX, and recalled for repairs. It was later assigned to the Filve reserve fleet before being sent to subjugate Bakura. Because of the lack of resistance put up by the Bakurans, the Dominant was left behind as the flagship of Thanas' Imperial fleet. It was the Dominant which Thanas used to destroy the Flurry.

When Talon Squadron was almost completely lost in an Imperial ambush on Gravan Seven - Donos being the sole survivor - he was demoted, but came under the attention of Wedge Antilles when he first formed Wraith Squadron. He was, at one time, awarded Corellian Bloodstripes by the military on Corellia, but he stopped wearing them shortly after the debacle on Gravan Seven. He also became quite morose, and was very introverted during his early days with the Wraiths. In the battle that saw the destruction of the Implacable over Ession, Donos got a measure of revenge for Talon Squadron. He discovered Apwar Trigit's TIE Interceptor fleeing the dying ship, and chased it down. Before Trigit could surrender, Donos launched a pair of proton torpedoes at him.

They later led the attack on Sadow’s fortress on Khar Delba, which was a decoy base. The lack of retaliation made Dor Gal-ram overconfident, and ordered further attacks. It was at this point that several of Dor Gal-ram’s crewmen - still loyal to Naga Sadow - mutinied and killed Gal-ram.

Dorja

an elderly Imperial Navy Captain under Grand Admiral Thrawn, he was the commander of the Relentless. He came from a family of starship commanders from the planet Coruscant, being the seventh in a long line of naval officers. He was granted command of the Relentless prior to the Battle of Endor, although his cautious style of command has often been questioned by other Captains. He was with Pellaeon following the Battle of Endor, and although he agreed with the decision to retreat, he did not approve of Pellaeon's assumption of command. Dorja's lack of initiative at the Battle of Endor meant that he was relegated to a secondary position in Grand Admiral Thrawn's Navy, and this rankled even more. Dorja stayed on, though, in hopes that he could one day assume command of the fleet and return the New Order to its rightful position in the galaxy.

Dorja survived the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn and the series of defeats the Empire suffered to the New Republic, and was one of the thirteen Captains who remained in controlof their Star Destroyers ten years later. He was then called upon by Moff Disra to intercept Admiral Pellaeon at Morishim, but Dorja was not given the specifics of the mission. At the same briefing, Dorja was stunned to see Thrawn join the discussion. Masterfully portrayed by the con artist Flim, Thrawn seemed resurrected, and Dorja was completely fooled by the performance. He agreed to go to Morishim and intercept an Imperial courier, which turned out to be Colonel Vermel’s ship en route to extend a peace treaty to Garm Bel Iblis. (DFR, DFRSB, SOP)

When Kissek wouldn't listen to reason and turn around, Janson took a shot at him. The laser blast cracked Kissek's cockpit, venting all atmosphere and killing him. Kissek's widow found out about his death before the Yellow Aces could talk to her, and she blamed them for his death and for ruining the family name.

His nose is flat, and his ears lay flat against his hairless skull. After attaining the rank of Jedi Knight, he returned to Khomm, only to find his relatives and his race still stagnant and unwilling to accept his success. He and Kyp Durron left the planet and discovered Admiral Daala's fleet massing in the Core Systems. The fled the Core, racing back to Yavin 4 to warn the Jedi Academy. In a confrontation between the might of Pellaeon's seventeen Star Destroyers and the Force, Dorsk 81 channeled the combined strength of more than thirty Jedi and literally pushed the Star Destroyers out of the system. He was physically unable to withstand the great power of the united Force, and was burned from the inside out by the wave of energy sent against the fleet. (DA, COTF, DS)

this Imperial Navy Captain served aboard the Peacekeeper, and was part of the fleet which was sent to take out Nar Shaddaa. Dovlis was an older, less imaginative officer than Soontir Fel, the other Captain serving under Admiral Greelanx during the Battle of Nar Shaddaa. Dovlis was the first commander to realize that the smugglers were using illusory ships to discourage the Imperials, but he quickly discovered that real ships were hidden among the fakes. The Peacekeeper took a large amount of damage to its starboard engines, and soon found itself without power. Dovlis ordered the engines brought back on-line when the ship began drifting toawrd Nar Shaddaa. The failsafes were overridden, but the spasmodic thrust the engines provided only pushed the ship closer to the moon. When they gave out altogther, the Peacekeeper plunged into Nar Shaddaa’s planetary shield. Dovlis died in battle, taking out a section of the moon’s shield with his own ship. (THG)

Droch

this small, repugnant, insect-like creature was first used by the Grissmath Dynasty in an attempt to wipe out the political prisoners on Nam Chorios. The drochs bite their victims and latch on, much like leeches. Also like leeches, the drochs have the ability to drain the lifeforce from a creature. If removed quickly, the droch will have only taken a small amount of force, and the victim feels slightly woozy. If allowed to remain in contact woth the flesh, a droch will burrow into its victim and be assimilated. However, rather than simply dissolving, the droch somehow entwines itself with its host, becoming an unseen but demanding part of its victim. It can continue to drain lifeforce, while the host simply dies from the loss of force. In this fashion, the droch is virtually undetectable, and the victim appears to have died for no reason. The droch which continues to grow strong by taking life energy from various victims can grow to large sizes, about a half-meter in height. These larger drochs have the ability to control smaller drochs, and can also obtain life energy from its subservient drochs. For this reason, the natives of Nam Chorios tried to keep the drochs from spreading beyond Nam Chorios, although a single outbreak did occur. Drochs flourish is dark, shadowy areas, for natural and reflected sunlight tends to drain their power. It was known as the Death Seed plague, and although it was eventually controlled, it was not known how it was finally defeated. (POT)

The droids killed Sneerzick’s entire team. (SWJ9)

Droid Control Ship

this is the name of a unique Trade Federation battleship which has been heavily modified for use in controlling the immense automated armies of the Federation. Based on the same Hoersch-Kessel Drive cargo platform, the droid control ship resembles the ring-like battleships it supports. However, the control ship is different in that powerful sensory rectennae and broadcast transmission towers stud the rear of the ship, allowing the droid control ship to hover in high orbit - up to 16,500 kilometers away - while maintaing transmission link-ups with ground-based forces. Once the other battleships have deployed their droids, they often move out of the system entirely until the invasion is over. This leaves the droid control ship behind to handle the operations of the droid army. Armament and the on-board complement of droid hardware is similar to that of the Federation’s battleships. However, shielding is much great on the control ship, providing an added measure of defense. (SW1, X1)

this staunch Imperial supporter served as the Captain of the Virulence in the years leading up to the Battle of Endor. When the Executor was destroyed at Endor, Drysso took the Virulence and ran, hoping to make it to Imperial space before the Alliance's forces could catch him. He then served Ysanne Isard, and was eventually promoted to the command of the Lusankya, making way for his executive officer, Lakwii Vaarscha, to take command of the Virulence. When Isard ordered the destruction of the Rogue Squadron space station at Yag'Dhul, she sent both Varrscha and Drysso to do the job. However, Drysso was maneuvered by Booster Terrik into a position that locked the Lusankya in the space station's tractor beams, and Terrik brought all weapons to bear on the Super-class Star Destroyer. The Virulence interposed itself between the Lusankya and the space station, allowing Drysso the opportunity to escape. He took the chance offered to him, believing that Varrscha and the Virulence were destroyed. In fact, the ship was captured by Terrik. Drysso returned to Thyferra, and was defending the world when the Rogues initiated their attack. As the Battle of Thyferra began, the Lusankya took heavy fire from the recommissioned Star Destroyer Freedom, but managed to disable the smaller ship. Drysso then pummeled the Rogues' flee of freighters and smaller ships until the Virulence reappeared. Drysso believed that the tide had finally turned his way. However, the Virulence was under the command of Booster Terrik, and its starfighter bays were full of A-Wings under the command of Pasj Cracken. Once again, the Lusankya took heavy fire until it was left adrift. Drysso threatened to ram the ship into the planet below, but he was shot by Lieutenant Waroen before he coudl execute this plan.

However, her father, Reise Durasha, never forwarded her application for entry. He told her that the Academy no place for a woman. He then sent Celia's brothers in their turn, keeping her at home. She ended up attending Baylagon Technical Institute, and was hired by Galaxy Tours shortly after graduation. She served as the navigator of the cruise ship Majestic, and single-handedly saved the ship during a pirate attack. This got her noticed by the company, which promoted her and assigned her as navigator of the Kuari Princess. It was aboard the Princess that she became good friends with Dap Nechel. Known as Crimson to Detien Kaileel, she was disturbed to learn of his allegiance to the Alliance. When he was arrested on the Princess, though, she began to understand his loyalties. She also began to question her own stance when Kaileel's captor turned out to be her childhood love, Adion Lang. She was torn about who to believe when Kaileel revealed the truth about the Empire's involvement in the destruction of Alderaan. She sided with Kaileel, and nearly succeeded in helping him escape.

Durga Besadii Tai

a Hutt - the only offspring of Aruk the Hutt - was a minor crimelord who rose to power a decade after Jabba the Hutt's death. Durga was larger than Jabba, and was distinguishable by the large, dark green birthmark on his face. Aruk took a huge chance in raising Durga, given that the birthmark would make his socially unacceptable. Durga was only 100 standard years of age when the Empire reached its height, serving Aruk until the old Hutt was poisoned by Jabba and Jiliac, through Teroenza. Durga suspected foul play, but couldn’t prove it, so he had Aruk’s body frozen and shipped to Coruscant for an autopsy. Durga exercised his right to take control of the Besadii clan, but met with strong opposition. The mysterious deaths of several Besadii Hutts quieted the resistance, deaths which Durga had arranged through a tenuous alliance with Black Sun. As Durga rose in power, Prince Xizor realized that he could control a good portion of Hutt business by controlling Durga. The Hutt was continually cautioned against selling Besadii out to the Falleen prince, but the need for Black Sun’s help became too great. In the midst of his dealings with Xizor, Durga forced Jiliac’s hand under the Hutt Old Law, and successfully dispatched the Desilijic leader. Xizor, working in the background, stifled Durga’s investigation and manipulated him into a business deal in which Xizor gave the information in return for data on Nal Hutta’s shields and weaponry. Durga fell deeper into Xizor’s debt when he hired Nova Force to help defend Ylesia, an operation which led to the deaths of much of Nova Force’s personnel and the complete loss of the Ylesian operation. The complete loss of Ylesia led Durga to eventually become one of Prince Xizor's vigo's, commanding his own moderate empire. He and many of his retainers allow any number of taurill to accompany them wherever they travel. Durga obtained the secret codes Jabba had hidden in his Tatooine citadel. The codes provided Durga with access to the New Republic's central databases on Coruscant. He had also contracted the brilliance of the latest clone of Bevel Lemelisk, whom he promised carte blanche to rebuild a better weapon. However, like many Hutts, Durga was always searching for bargains, and many of the systems and components were poorly made or outdated. It was Durga who executed Crix Madine aboard the Darksaber, and it was on the doomed station that Durga died, when it was crushed between two huge planetoids in the Hoth asteroid field. (DS, SE, THG, RD)

The Duro race had established a vast starship construction industry, nearly equal to that of Corellia. The government of the system is made up of a consortium of starship construction corporations, with all necessary political decisions being made by the corporations' stockhoders. Thus, any Duro which owns stock in these companies can participate in the governing of the system. The planet Duros itself is uninhabited, since the Duros have covered it with automated farms. The former population, and all visitors, live in orbiting cities that provide easy access to the starship construction facilities. Note that Mission to Mount Yoda claims the planet was later used by the Empire as a dumping ground, and became so toxic that the Duro who lived there were forced to move into orbiting space stations.

Most Duros are interested in space travel, and are employed in one of the many industries that deal in travel between the stars. Those Duros who remain near their homeworld work for one of the many starship construction facilities that orbit the planet Duro. Many of the Duros found off-planet are graduates of the Duro Academy of Deep Space Exploration, and can navigate a hyperspace jump with limited star charting. During the Galactic Civil War, the Duros were ostensibly loyal to the Empire, although the Empire established observation centers at many starship yards to keep an eye on them. (SW, SCRE, GG4)

a native of Deyer, Kyp was taken prisoner by the Empire when his parents were arrested for speaking out against the destruction of Alderaan. Kyp was shipped off to Kessel, and forced to work the spice mines. When Han Solo and Chewbacca are shot down over Kessel and also forced to work the mines, Kyp becomes friends with Han, and together they escape the mines, only to discover the Maw Installation. Upon returning to Coruscant, Kyp is asked by Luke Skywalker to join his new Jedi Academy, for Kyp shows a great deal of Force sensitivity. Kyp agrees, and begins training on Yavin 4. Following Gantoris' death, Exar Kun's spirit then takes control of Kyp's will. Kun shows Kyp the power of the Dark Side, but Kyp's basic nature twists the knowledge. He believes that, even though the power stems from the Dark Side, it can still be used against the Empire. Kun's spirit does nothing to alter this perception, and assists Kyp in retrieving the Sun Crusher from Yavin's gas core and allows Kyp to draw on his power as Kyp begins destroying Imperial worlds.

It is when Kyp destroys the Caridan system that Han finally catches up with Kyp, and convinces the young man to return to Yavin 4. Luke then worked with Kyp to return him to the true nature of the Force. As his powers grew, Kyp became a respected member of the Jedi Knights. He befriended Dorsk 82 when the young alien traveled to Yavin 4 for training, and the pair were dispatched to Corbos when the miners there unearthed an ancient creature.

Dxun Beast

a huge, winged reptile native to the Dxun moon of Onderon. They have flat, wedge-shaped heads with 10 horns, two short arms, a huge wingspan, and long tails. They are extremely territorial, and will violently defend their lands. The Jedi Master Arca hoped to use them to protect the Sith knowledge obtained from Freedon Nadd by placing all Sith artifacts on the Dxun Moon. Exar Kun was able to use the Dark Side of The Force to strike the Dxun down and gain entry to the storehouse. (DLS)

Dxun Devourers

Another winged denizen of the Dxun moon, these flying creatures are somewhat smaller than Dxun Beasts, but doubly vicious. They also have two arms, but they lack the horns that the Beasts have. Instead, they have a long, jutting lower jaw, which is pointed. This lower jaw is used as a attack weapon. (DLS)

Dxun

one of four natural satellites of the planet Onderon, Dxun was the closest to the planet, and the home of the Dxun Devourers and Dxun Beasts. In a precise balance of nature, the Dxun moon orbits extremely close to Onderon on a regular basis. Its orbit is so close that the atmospheres of both bodies begin to mix, allowing the vicious beasts to migrate from the moon to the planet. For this reason, it was known to the Onderonian natives as the "demon moon." At the order of the ancient Jedi Master, Arca, a tomb for Freedon Nadd and his Sith artifacts was built on the Dxun moon of Mandalorian iron. (DLS, TSW)

Dymurra, Gnifmak

this Loronar Corporation executive was in control of the manufacturing operations in the Meridian and Antemeridian Sectors, in the years after the Battle of Endor. His primary function was as CEO for the Core systems. It was Dymurra who was contacted by Beldorion, who offered the executive wealth and prestige if he assisted in Dzym’s plans to control the galaxy. Dymurra agreed, and provided several synthdroids as well as arms to Dzym’s forces. These forces, aligned with Seti Ashgad, attempted to gain control of Nam Chorios and launch the drochs into space, but their plans were foiled by Leia Organa-Solo and Luke Skywalker. Leia obtained memos and correspondances which implicated Dymurra in the plot, which were corroborated by the information discovered by Yarbolk Yemm. The executive was imprisoned for his part in the affair. (POT)

Eckels was returning with the remains of the Qella recovered by Kroddok Stopa and Josala Krenn, and Dyson was the collector to whom they were delivered. It was Dyson who had picked up the funding for Eckels’ mission to Brath Qella, after both the New Republic and the Obroan Institute withdrew support. Drayson delivered them to Joi Eicroth for analysis, under the auspices of Alpha Blue. (TT)

Dyyz Nataz

a former police officer in his home system, Nataz was a tough cop who was sent out to deal with violent sociopaths. He became a Sector Ranger, and ran into Spurch Goa soon after. They worked together on a case involving a counterfeit credit ring, only to discover that Jabba the Hutt had set it all up to remove the Rangers. Gank Killers ambushed them and killed their other partner, Thaffe, before Nataz and Goa went berserk and killed the Ganks. The two then sent the Ganks' ship on a collision course with Jabba's palace asteroid, causing innumerable damage but missing Jabba in the attempt. This stunt earned Nataz the nickname "Megadeath." They were expelled from the Rangers and hit out on Nar Shaddaa, laying low to avoid Jabba and doing jobs on the side. Dyyz's race was not known, for he wore a full-body suit of ancient Ithullan armor and a rusty, skull-shaped helmet. (DE1, DESB)

Dzym

this droch, a native of the planet Nam Chorios, was nothing more than an unremarkable member of his species before Zubindi Ebsuk tried to artificially grow drochs larger in order to please Beldorian the Hutt. The droch race already had some latent sentience, and Zubindi’s chemical and genetic manipulations brought out a high level of intelligence in Dzym. For 250 years, Dzym grew strong and powerful, initially using physical contact to drain the lifeforce out of people before learning how to use other drochs to do the work for him. Realizing that he couldn’t storm the galaxy without a fight, Dzym attempted to enslave members of the Chorian population in order to meet his needs. Beldorian the Hutt was his first choice, but the Hutt proved to be too weak. When Seti Ashgad was imprisoned on Nam Chorios, Dzym quickly stepped in and took control. Using the Force in a crude fashion, Dzym fashioned himself a human appearance and posed as Ashgad’s secretary. Dzym used the human to incite the more recent inhabitants of Nam Chorios to revolt against the Oldtimers, especially the Therans, and eventually was able to make contact outside the system. Using Ashgad as his mouthpiece, Dzym forged an alliance with Loronar Corporation, providing Spook crystals in return for weapons and political backing. The true goal was for Dzym to get off-planet and spread the Death Seed. As Loronar began developing CCIR technology, Dzym continued to wield his influence. When Ashgad seemed to be beyond his years, Dzym began providing his with added lifeforce, and they devised a story that Seti Ashgad had a son to explain the human’s rejuvenated appearance. The droch then realized, with the fall of the Empire and the rise of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa-Solo, that his time had come. He used Ashgad to lure Leia to Nam Chorios, where he hoped to detain her long enough for the New Republic’s Provisional Council to squabble about her successor. In the meantime, Loronar began producign Needles and synthdroids, and provided Dzym with enough firepower to engage the Republic fleet. Using his subservient drochs, Dzym infected the New Republic’s fleet by tarnsporting them on Ashgad’s body, while creating panic and rebellion on worlds throughout the Meridian Sector. The droch’s plan would have worked except for Leia’s escape from captivity and the presence of Luke Skywlaker on Nam Chorios. Together, the discovered Dzym’s plots and exposed them to the natives of the planet. Dzym and Ashgad tried to flee the planet and start their war on their own, but they were destroyed when Luke managed to communicate with the Spook crystals in the Needles. They turned on Dzym’s ship and destroyed it. (POT)
