N-1 Starfighter

this starfighter design was created for the use of the Royal Naboo air defense fleet by the Theed Place Space Vessel Engineering Corps. It is a sleek, needle-shaped craft with two short wings. It uses an astromech droid to offload key functions from the single pilot. The wings support a pair of modified Nubian 221 sublight engines arranged in a J-type, or twin-radial, configuration, which makes the craft extremely maneuverable in atmospheres. The N-1 is also equipped with a Nubian Monarc C-4 hyperdrive for interstellar travel. The ship is armed with a pair of laser cannons and a proton torpedo launcher, and has a sophisticated sensor and shielding suite. (SW1, X1)

Na'al, Voren

Voren was a cub reporter, building his credentials covering the swoop races on Corsin for the Galactic News Service, when the Empire took control of the planet. He failed to believe that the Empire was working for the good of the galaxy, and decided to join up with the Alliance. He became a skillful agent, infiltrating Imperial bases with relative ease and escaping with vital information on such projects as the Death Star. He later became an assistant historian working for Arhul Hextrophon, working to preserve the history of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. After chronicling the adventures of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia Organa, he was named the Director of Council Research for the New Republic. (MTS)

Naberrie, Padme’

this young woman served as Queen Amidala’s handmaiden, although she sometimes disappeared on mysterious errands for the Queen. The reason for these errands became clear to Anakin Skywalker when Amidala petitioned to the Gungan leader Boss Nass for help in breaking the Trade Federation’s blockade of Naboo. In reality, Padme was just an algter ego of Amidala herself. In times of trouble or danger, Padme would return from her errands, while the handmaiden Sabe would run off. This was became Sabe also served as Amidala’s double, as they were very similar in appearance. (SW1, TPM)

Naboo

  1. this unusual planet is noted for the fact that it lacks a solid mantle and molten core. Instead, the planet is a ball of softer metals riddled with caverns and small tunnels. This allows the planet retain copious amounts of water, giving the surface a swampy environment which belies the true extent of the depths its oceans can reach. The small sections of solid ground are marked by wide, rolling plains. It is the homeworld of a human population known as the Naboo, as well as the Gungan race. Naboo is orbited by two small moons. (SW1, GF)
  2. this is one of the human species which, along with the Gungans, that inhabit the planet Naboo. During much of their existence, the Naboo took great pains to avoid contact with their Gungan neighbors, and were mostly unaware of the huge underwater cities the Gungans built to escape contact. However, fringe elements of both species realized that they couldn’t survive without the other, and specialized trading relationships were set up. While these relationships were not officially recognized by either government, they were vital to the survival of each species. In general, the Naboo were a peaceful people, and chose to live in harmony with their environment rather than destroy it. When the Trade Federation blockaded, then invaded, their world, the Naboo people were powerless to defend themselves. Their armed forces were largely made up of unproven volunteers. (SW1, TPM)

Naboo Wastelands

this was an area of the planet Naboo which was barren of most forms of life. (JQA)

Nabooan Tusk-cat

Nackhawn

a carrion bird native to the planet Lucazec. (BTS)

Nada Synnt

this smuggler’s name was used in a false transmission provided to Chenlambec and Tinian I’att, during their attempt to trap Bossk near Lomabu III. The Wookiees behind the plan had created a sound bite of Han Solo asking a passenger whether or not they wanted to sell their cargo back to Nada Synnt. (TBH)

Nadd, Freedon

a Jedi Knight who succumbed to the Dark Side of the Force and took up the teaching of the Sith. He became proficient in the use of the Dark Side Sith magic, but could progress no further than apprentice, since the reigning Dark Lord was still young (by Dark Side standards) and the Sith had declared that only one Dark Lord could rule at any time. This frustrated Freedon Nadd to the point that he rebelled against this basic Sith tenet and, desiring his own Lordship, he took a wealth of Sith artifacts with him from Korriban to Onderon. On Onderon, he began to teach the Sith lore to the Onderonians at Iziz, and he used his Sith knowledge to help the Onderonians repel the Beast Masters time and again. (This has been passed down by the Naddists in the form of a truism that Freedon defeated "the wild beasts and aborigines" of Onderon.) As his power grew, the Jedi Knights learned of his atrocities on the planet, and sent a task force out to bring his reign to an end. There was a pitched battle, and eventually Freedon Nadd was defeated. However, his Sith teachings had been accepted by the Onderonians, and Nadd's bloodlines were extended during his stay, so the power of the Dark Side has never left Onderon. Nadd himself managed to preserve his spirit, locked away with the Sith artifacts he worked to obtain. His spirit was released when Exar Kun discovered Nadd's tomb, and Nadd's spirit led Kun to Yavin 4. There, Nadd tried to use Kun as a way to progress further down the dark path. However, when Kun became the wearer of the Sith amulets hidden on the moon, Nadd's spirit was obliterated by Kun's rage. (FNU, TOJ, DLS)

Naddists

the followers of Freedon Nadd's teachings based on the planet Onderon. They feel that Nadd was their savior, and that he gave them the strength to drive out the wild natives and beasts, which allowed them to settle the city of Iziz. Their belief in Nadd leads them to believe that the Jedi Knights are the cause of all their problems, since it was the Jedi who were called in to bring Nadd down and recover the Sith artifacts. (DLS)

Naeco

an Alliance starfighter pilot serving on the Independence with Keyan Farlander, he was a practical joker. (XW)

Nafen

this noctural insect is generally regarded as a pest. It is characterized by the harsh, clacking sound its wings make as it flies. They often carry diseases, which is mutated by the insect and fed back into the environment. (POT)

Naga Sadow

an ancient Sith magician who practiced a thousand years before the Freedon Nadd uprisings, Naga Sadow was one of the strongest Sith Lords at the time Marka Ragnos died. Trained by the old mage Simus, Sadow was an intense individual who wished to bring the Sith Empire to the forefront of the galaxy, a viewpoint not held by his contemporary, Ludo Kressh. Upon Ragnos’ death, Sadow chose not to attend the huge funeral. Rather, he plotted how he could obtain the position of Dark Lord of the Sith. At the close of the procession, Sadow confronted Kressh, and the two Sith Lords battled for the position of Dark Lord of the Sith. This clash of Sith energy brought Marka Ragnos’ spirit back from the dead, and the spirit warned both of them that conflict within the ranks of the Sith would further no one’s plans. With the appearance of Jori and Gav Daragon, Sadow discovered a way to further his own goals. Ludo Kressh believed them to scouts from the Old Republic’s advanced forces, so Sadow freed them and staged a rescue attempt in which many Sith warriors were killed. Sadow claimed it was Kressh’s inability to mobilize the Sith forces that caused the deaths, and claimed himself Dark Lord of the Sith in order to guide the Sith into battle. He then took the Daragons to his two fortresses and hid them, playing upon their emotions and their latent Force abilities to gain their confidence. He built up Gav’s strength, teaching him Sith magic while manipulating him into a position where he would obey any command. Sadow recovered the Starbreaker 12 and returned it to Jori, telling her that Gav had been killed and that Sadow could no loner protect her from the other Sith Lords. Her flight provided Sadow with all the hyperspace coordinates he needed to begin attacking the Old Republic. When Kressh finally mustered his own forces to attack Sadow, he attacked at Khar Delba. This expended much of his resources, while Sadow hid on Khar Shian. From there, he launched a massive counterattack, decimating Kressh’s forces and nearly killing the rival magician. Sadow then retired to Primus Goluud, where he entered a mediation sphere and launched his attacks on the Republic, augmenting his forces with illusory warriors and monsters. When Gav Daragon disabled the sphere, Sadow’s concentration was broken. The Jedi Knights and the Republic were able to see through the illusions, and eventually defeated the Sith forces. Sadow, under attack by the Republic’s fleet at Primus Goluud, chose to rip the star apart and destroy them all. Gav was able to provide the Republic fleet with an escape vector, saving them from the conflagration but dooming himself. Sadow limped back to the Sith Empire, where he was confronted by Ludo Kressh’s restored forces. In the opening acts of the Great Hyperspace War, Sadow used the Dark Side of the Force to coerce one of his starship captains to ram Kressh’s ship, destroyin his chief rival and securing his position as Dark Lord. However, this left his forces vulnerable to Empress Teta’s fleet. In a last-ditch effort, Sadow drew Teta’s forces into the Denarri Nova in hopes of destroying them all, but the Nova flared up and destroyed much of Sadow’s fleet and part of the Tetan fleet. Sadow himself managed to survive, and fled to Yavin 4 to begin rebuilding his empire. Note that Lightsabers and Dark Lords of the Sith claim Naga Sadow was an insectile beast of pure Sith blood who learned how to give life to the dead. The ruling Dark Lord of the Sith did not appreciate Sadow's bold attempts, and sentenced him to die. Sadow took his knowledge and his followers and fled to the moon Yavin 4. He was eventually hunted down by the Old Republic, who branded him an outlaw and chased him to the Denarii System. There, Sadow used the powers of the Sith to rip the cores from the two Denarii stars and fling them at the pursuing fleet. The fleet was destroyed, and the stars exploded to form the Denarii Nebula. Sadow survived the encounter, but later passed into legends. He and his followers are now extinct, but their knowledge and powers remain behind on Yavin 4. (DLS, L, GAS, FOSE)

Nagai

Nagelson, Sleepy

this fighter pilot served the New Republic as part of the 21st Recon Group. He earned the nickname "Sleepy" because in-flight monitors recorded him sleeping through a reconnaissance mission during the battle against Grand Admiral Thrawn. Sleepy drew recon duty during the Yevethan Purge, flying over Wakiza to gather information about the Yevethan forces there. Like most of the pilots who drew recon duty during the Purge, Sleepy was shot down and killed before he could return. (SOL)

Naithol

a Sullustan helping Roganda Ismaren and Drost Elegin recover the Eye of Palpatine. He is an executive of the SoroSuub Corporation. (COJ)

Najarka

this planet, located in Rayter Sector, was surveyed by the Empire. The planet is too far from its sun to sustain life, and yet a band of dense rainforests rings the planet. It was discovered that there was intense geophysical activity beneath the rainforests, where the heat of the magma below the crust warms the glacier and provides the necessary heat to encourage life to grow. Icequakes continually rearrange the glacial portion of the planet, which is pummeled by hurricane-force winds and metal-piercing hail. The unique plant life has been featured in several Imperial buldings, including the Emperor’s own gardens. It was on Najarka that Yearo Seville and his gang kidnapped Crying Dawn Singer for the Farool brothers. The average day on Najarka lasts 28 standard hours, and its year lasts 402 local days. (TA)

Najarkan Creature

this strange beast is found in the thin band of rainforests near fissures in the glaciers of Najarka. At over 30 meters in length, this huge predatorial reptile has no natural enemies. Its toothy maw averages two meters in width, and its large eyes are designed like low-resolution photreceptors. The eyes are attuned to searching for and locating the kichicolia, its primary foodsource. The Empire quickly discovered that this creature’s ability to seek out the white and black pattern of the kichicolia led it to stalk and capture stormtroopers in full armor. (TA)

Najib

this alien race is native to the planet Najiba. They are very friendly to offworlders, but are also very suspicious by nature. They are humanoid in physique, although they appear frail compared to most humans. (TFE)

Najiba

this Outer Rim world is situated near Tatooine. Najiba has an elliptical orbit, and passes very close to its system's asteroid belt for much of it. Thus, traffic on and off the planet is very limited, and is curtailed whenever Najiba passes closest to the belt. The asteroids themselves are known as the Children of Najiba. Its axial tilt and its orbit resulted in a spring-like season which never truly ended, but was broken by electrical disruptions and torrential rainstorms. This is the homeworld of the Najib, a friendly yet suspicious race. The average day on Najiba is short, lasting only 18 standard hours. The Najiban year encompasses 215 local days. (TFE)

Nakaron

this Trandoshan criminal was sent to Dles IV for the murder of an Alliance agent. He hijacked the shuttle that was transporting him to the penal world, took its crew hostage, and fled. (SWAJ)

Nal Hutta

a planet in the Corellian sector, it was colonized by the Hutts and is the birthplace of Jabba the Hutt. The name "Nal Hutta" means "glorious jewel" in Huttese. The planet, located in the Y'Toub System, was at one time known as Evocar, and was inhabited by the Evocii race. The Hutts, fleeing the desolation of Varl, settled on Evocar as a suitable home. They began trading technology to the Evocci for land, and continued to do so until they owned most of the planet. The Evocii realized what was happening, but too late. The Hutts began construction on a multitude of palaces and pleasure sites before the Evocii could do anything about. Their appeals to the Old Republic were taken seriously, but the contracts they signed with the Hutts were ironclad in favor of the Hutts. Even the Jedi Knights were powerless. The Hutts forced them off the planet and onto Nar Shaddaa, where they were eventually mutated over the years by the various technologies in use on the moon. The planet is ruled by the oldest Hutt families, who control Nar Shaddaa from their homes. The planet is huge, but it has no natural heavy metals. Thus, its density is less than expected. Its day lasts 87 standard hours, and its year is 413 local days in duration. What remains of the planet's natural landscape is flat, marshy bogs. (DE1, DESB, DS)

Nala-tree Frog

this amphibian was a favorite food of Kibbick the Hutt. He introduced them to his uncle, Aruk, who demanded that a supply bemade readily available for his consumption. Teroenza, sick of the Besadii control over the Ylesian colonies and his own life, began working with Jabba and Jiliac to poison the frogs he sent to Aruk, hoping to kill the ancient slug. (THG)

Nalan Cheel

one of the Bith performing with Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes, Nalan played the Bandfill. He was homesick for the comforts of life on Clak'dor VII. (TME, CCG2)

Nalargon

this large musical instrument was operated by a keyboard and foot pedals. It had a great many pipes and subharmonic resonators that produced a multitude of sounds. The instrument was favored by many jizz bands throughout the galaxy. (THG)

Nalgol

this Imperial Navy Captain was a member of the Kuat family, and was the commander of the Tyrannic during the early years of the New Republic. He maintained his command following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, and was part of the group picked by Moff Disra to begin his assault on the New Republic. Shortly after the revelation of the Bothan involvement in the Caamas Incident, Disra got Nalgol and three other Navy Captains together to introduce them to Thrawn, artfully portrayed by Flim. Although he didn’t trust Disra, Nalgol accepted the command of an assault on the Bothan homeworld of Bothawui, in an attempt to further undermine the fragile position the New Republic was in at the time. Even with the reappearance of Thrawn, Nalgol questioned the necessity of the mission. Every vigilant, Nalgol shook Thrawn’s hand after accepting his orders. This allowed him to use the specialized Kuat family crest ring to obtain a skin sample. The ring was designed to administer poison, but Nalgol hadn’t used it in years. Disra, at Major Tierce’s request, had taken great pains to alter Thrawn’s records, so that any genetic analysis done by Nalgol would prove Flim to be the actual Thrawn. Like his comrades, including Captain Dorja, Nalgol was compeltely fooled by the performance and the subsequent confirmation of the false Thrawn’s genetics. Arriving fully cloaked in the Bothawui system, Nalgol and his peers captured a comet in a masterful piece of coordination. The comet was brought into the cloaking devce’s range, and the Tyrannic was hidden behind it. As the comet moved toward Bothawui, Nalgol was under orders to attack from behind the cloak, in an effort to draw the various alien forces amassed there into an all-out civil war. (SOP, VOF)

Nalrithian

an alien race. (TBH)

this is the native language of the Nalroni race. (?) (POT)

Nam

this is one of the three stars which center the Chorios Systems in the Meridian Sector. (POT)

Nam Chorios

this planet, loacted in the Chorios System of the Meridian Sector, was chosen by the Grissmath Dynasty as a penal world. The original prisoners sent here discovered that the crystalline rocks of the planet were alive with the Force. When the Force was used on the planet, it created backlashes within the crystals, and ripples of Force lightning sometimes plunged through the canyons at night to expel excees Force energy. When the Grissmaths sent drochs to the planet to ensure the prisoners were killed, the inhabitants and the crystals tried to do everything in their power to keep the drochs from spreading off the planet. It was on this world that Dzym rose to power, enslaving the crystals - known as Spooks - and selling them to Loronar for used in CCIR technologies. When Leia Organa-Solo and Luke Skywalker arrived on the world - Leia to meet with Seti Ashgad, Luke to search for Callista - they discovered the abilities of the Spooks, and managed to depose Dzym and Ashgad. Luke spent a number of years scoruing the galaxy for those Spooks which could be returned to Nam Chorios. Note that the jacket liner of Planet ofTwilight refers to this world as Renat Chorios. (POT)

Namarhe

an Alliance starfighter pilot from Bestine IV who was killed while trying to capture the Imperial transport Omicron. (XW)

"Name It, Claim It" Law

this was the slang term for an Old Republic planetary development decree. Under this law, explorers had only to locate remote systems, perform cursory life-form scans, and file for development rights in order to take control of the system.The result was the discovery and naming of a vast number of planetary systems without any real idea what each system and its worlds held. (SOP)

Nami

a group of starships destroyed by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

NAMIS

COMPNOR's Native Management and Industrialization Service, NAMIS was a product of COMPNOR's Commerce branch. The program was designed to efficiently turn backwater planets into industrial participants of the Empire. The program failed miserably on Gamorr, and was scrapped. (ISB)

Nampi

this alien Princess was from a race of huge, slug-like creatures even larger than the Hutts. She had deep purple skin, which was studded with a series of arm-like tendrils. Nampi had large eyes and a small nose, above a wide mouth filled with sharp teeth. When she captured Jabba the Hutt, she ate Jabba's pilot, Scuppa, before Jabba was able to escape. It was part of her species' mating ritual, whereby a female consumes her new husband on their wedding night. However, when she tried to cross Jabba, he released th xenoboric acid hidden in Scuppa's skull, and Nampi's body was consumed until it exploded. Jabba then took her treasure trove for his troubles. (JTH)

Nanaod Engh

the New Republic's First Administrator during the Yevethan Great Purge. A good friend of the Chief of State, Leia Organa-Solo, she called him "Nanny." (BTS, SOL)

Nandreeson

this Glottalphib was the unofficial ruler of Skip 6, in the Smuggler’s Run. He held a grudge, and a heavy price, on Lando Calrissian, who had stolen a great deal of treasure from Nandreeson’s lair during the reign of Emperor Palpatine, and prior to his acquisition of Cloud City. Nandreeson’s influence was so great that Calrissian refused to return to the Run until Han Solo disappeared there. Nandreeson held much of the Run in fear of his wrath. When Dolph began implementing his schemes, he used Nandreeson’s position of power to assist with the distribution of his rigged droids. During the time of the New Republic, Nandreeson spent most of his time like Jabba the Hutt, commanding his small empire from a pond located deep inside Skip 6. There, he fed on aprfue gnats and caver eggs while his major domo, Iisner, served as his official liaison.

When Han Solo was intercepted in the Smuggler’s Run, Lando decided that he needed to find out what had happened, despite his distrust of Nandreeson. Lando’s plans failed, and he was brought to Nandreeson. The Glottalphib kept Lando at bay by holding him in the deepest part of the pond for some days before Han discovered Lando’s whereabouts. In the resulting firefight which revealed the true colors of a number of Han’s smuggling "friends," Nandreeson was shot and killed by Han himself. (TNR)

Nane, Waric

this man was one of the Ministers who led the planet Danoor, and was the primary contact between Danoor and the Lance of Endor, under the command of Rolf Treidum. Nane believed Treidum's lies about his being a leader of the New Republic, and threatened the crew of the FarStar when they arrived at Danoor. He was willing to listen to Captain Adrimetrum, only after the IFF code was verified, and eventually came to trust them crew. His trust seemed to be won over when they agreed to help retrieve a mining droid in the Duhrib Belt in exchange for navigational information for crossing the Kathol Rift. However, Nane was far from soft-hearted. He wanted to rule Danoor with an iron fist, creating a totalitarian society dominated by a strong police and military presence. He was developing a number of alliances with other Ministers when the FarStar arrived. Because of his beliefs, Nane was often threatened by the populace, and so he purchased an assassin droid to protect himself. He also falsified his deal with Captain Adrimetrum, having been given the opportunity to meet Rolf Treidum without his false identity. Nane, seeing that the New Order was truly the form of order he so desired in a govenrment, agreed to help Treidum delay the FarStar if at all possible.After the ship's arrival, Nane secretly signalled to Treidum. (KO)

Nannarium

a flower native to the planet Drall. (AS)

Nanno-jump

a maneuver in which a starship briefly enters hyperspace to make a short trip over a small distance without being seen until the last moment. (HSE)

Nanny Droid

see TDL Droid

Nano-Counter

this BlasTech detonation fuse is often used in micronite charges. (CFG)

Nano-destroyers

also known as nano viruses, these micrbes are created in laboratories to attack a certain genetic structure and dismantle it slowly. They are expesnive and time-consuming to develop and manufacture, due to their single-purpose use. They are beyond the means of most criminals, which is the only reason why their use isn't more widespread. The nano-destroyers enter the target's cells and slowly dismantle the cell's nucleus. Once the nucleus explodes, the nano-destroyers are distributed to neighboring cells to start the process again. They are very difficult to stop, even with the use of copious amounts of bacta, and will consume their target within a few months. They were originally developed by humans, and seem to work only on human and certain near-human species. The Caridan Ambassador Furgan used a group of self-replicating nano-destroyers to try and slowly debilitate Mon Mothma and bring about the fall of the New Republic, but his death occurred just prior to Cilghal's using the Force to remove the nanodestroyers from her body, one at a time. (COTF, JASB)

Nanogene Droid

this highly experimental form of automaton was designed to affect the cells of living organisms. A number of nanogene droids are injected into the target's system and attack the genetic material of the target at the molecular level. They are programmed to rewrite the target's genetic code, causing strange and unusual reactions. Developed during the later years of the New Order, nanogene droids were deemed too costly to use on a widespread basis, and the project was supposedly abandonded. An unscrupulous scientist named Uris ressuracted the project with his own funding, and very nearly released a batch of the droids on the population of Voorsbain before he was stopped by a group of Alliance agents. Uris' droids manipulated their targets' genetic structure in such a way that they would be turned into a mindless zombie within 3 weeks. (GMH)

Nanowave Oven

a fast-heating oven. (LCJ)

Nanta-Ri

this Farlax Sector planet was blockaded during the Yevethan Purge by the New Republic's Fourth Battle Group. (SOL)

Nanth’ri

a planet. (OS)

Nanthri Pirates

this infamous group of space raiders were united under Celis Mott. They preyed upon ships that flew through the Nanthri Route. Note that Otherspace describes them as the Nanth’ri pirates. The pirates found themselves without a leader when Mott was captured by the Alliance and perished in Otherspace, and disbanded soon after Mott’s diappearance. (SWAJ, OS)

Nanthri Route

a hyperspace shipping lane prowled by Celis Mott's Nanthri Pirates. The pirates routinely scoured the space around the planet Nanth’ri, taking Imperial commissions. They were given preferential treatment in return for turning any suspected Alliance agents over to the Imperial authorities. Note that Otherspace describes this as the Nanth’ri space route. (SWAJ, OS)

Nantz

this New Republic Navy Admiral was promoted to senior flag officer just prior to the Republic's blockade of the Koornacht Cluster, following the Yevethan Purge. He was briefly considered as a choice to replace Etahn A'baht as commander of the Fifth Battle Group during the blockade, but was a real candidate after the capture of Han Solo. (SOL, TT)

Naorstrachem

this substance is highly flexible, and is often used in netting or webbing. Synthetic naorstrachem was used by Merr-Sonn to fabricate the webbing shot from the Tangle Gun 7. The synthetic form combined more readily with the shrinking agent required to contract the webbing around the target. (CFG)

NaQuoit Bandits

aliens who operate as outlaws in the Ottega system. They jumped Mako Spince during a smuggling run, and severrly injured him. (DE1, RD)

Nar

a planet. (WEG)

Nar Hekka

one of the many habitable planets in the Hutt sector of space. Located near a dim red star at the edge of the Y’toub System, Nar Hekka has very little indigenous life. However, due to the intervention of the Hutts, several plant and animal species have been imported to the world, resulting in a beautiful planet covered with gardens, parks, and arboretums. Much of the habitable area of the planet is covered by a transparent dome that alters the incoming red light and creates a blue sky tinged with violet. (TPS, THG)

Nar Shaddaa

Nal Hutta's spaceport moon, known for its vertically-built cities, experienced spaceship mechanics and its lawlessness. It is a center for smuggling operations, and is supposedly where Han Solo learned the smuggler's trade as a youth. When the Hutts took over the moon, they began using it as a spaceport, and soon huge refueling spires and repair facilities reached up from the ground into orbit. There is no observable land mass left on Nar Shaddaa, since the spaceports have grown around the spires and now completely cover the planet. The moon was uninhabited during the time that the Evocii lived on Nal Hutta, although they called it Evocar. When the Hutts took over the planet, they relegated the Evocii to Nar Shaddaa. However, the Hutts used them as semi-free slaves on the moon, and the press of so many various species and technologies eventually mutated the Evocii. Nar Shaddaa is similar to its parent planet, having a day which lasts 87 standard hours, and a year which lasts 413 local days. It is tide-locked with Nal Hutta, and only shows one side to its planet. This results in a day which has two distinct periods of ligthness: one in which is is in full view of the sun, and one in which it obtains light reflected from Nal Hutta. This also results in two periods of night. (DE1, DESB, DE2, THG)

this planet is located in Rayter Sector, and was the site of TransGalMeg Industries’ corporate headquarters. Its climate varies greatly with lattitude, with equatorial deserts and polar ice caps. It is a low-tech world on which human life evolved normally, until the planet was discovered by the Empire three years before the Battle of Yavin. The planet was quickly industrialized and stripped of its natural resources. The Empire decided that the human population was not ready for entrance into the galactic community, and placed the planet under a provisional protectorate owned by TransGalMeg. TGM received ten years of full power over the planet’s resources in return for managing the planet for the Empire. Because of their isolation, the humans of Narg are highly xenophobic. Narg’s average day lasts 21 standard hours, and its year encompasses 431 local days. (TA)

(XWPA)

Nat Secura

a Twi'lek descendant of a great Twi'lek house, Secura was controlled by Bib Fortuna, just before Jabba the Hutt's death. When Jabba came to Ryloth to obtain Twi'leki slaves, he had burned buildings in Nat's city in order to force the Twi'leks out of them and into capture nets. Nat had been severly burned in the fires; his lekku had been completely burned off. Fortuna had discovered Nat while looting his house, and had "rescued" him. The Twi'leki survivors never forgot Nat's bravery, and Fortuna had planned to use Nat as his figurehead and as a rallying point. However, Jabba had grown tired of Nat's presence, and was planning on feeding him to the rancor. Fortuna intervened, again "rescuing" Nat, only to have Nat's brain surgically removed by the B'omarr monks and placed in a nutrient jar. Nat's mind railed against the loss of his body, but he eventually came to accept his place. Jabba then threw Nat's body - which had been kept alive by the monks' skillful surgery - to the rancor, seemingly ending Nat's life. Fortuna had planned to find a Twi'lek clone body for Nat's brain, a body that was not scarred and deformed like his original one. He told Nat this, and Nat decided that he wanted Han Solo's body. Fortuna thought that this would be a fitting revenge against Solo, and kept the plan in his mind. However, the death of Jabba and the monks' revenge against Fortuna left both of them disembodied. (TJP)

Navett, Drend

this member of the underground organization known as Vengeance worked with Klif to incite crowds to riot over the smallest of issues. Klif did the talking, using forceful words to bring a crowd to a state of agitation. Drend, once the mood was right, would touch off the riots with a few well-placed blicci-fruits or pipe-bombs. The two found steady employment when Moff Disra hired them to cause riots on several New Republic worlds after the revelation that the Bothans were involved in the destruction of Caamas. Later, Navett and Klif were placed in charge of taking out the shield generator in Drev'starn, posing as exotic animal dealers. In this capacity, they were able to obtain several swarms of metalmites, which they infiltrated into the genreator building on the clothing of the workers. When the Bothans realized that they had a problem, they called in Navett and Klif. They were only too happy to help the Bothans exterminate the metalmites, and while laying down the insecticide they also laid several spreads of liquid nutrients. Then, after gaining access to a power conduit under the restaurant of a Ho'Din - with the help of Pensin and Horvic - they used a nesting of baby mawkrens to carry out the next steps. The mawkrens were hungry, and Navett used this to his advantage. After strapping small, remote-detonating bombs to their backs, Navett helped them get the scent of food: the liquid nutrients they had placed in the generator building. The first wave of mawkrens were used to take out the building's main walls, while the second group was used to destroy the generator itself. Unfortunately, this second step required Navett to be close the explosion - it was a suicide mission. As soon as Navett got the shields down, the others managed to get aboard the Predominance and initiate a battle for Bothawui. (SOP, VOF)

Navigation Bouy

also known a NavBouy, these floating, deep-space devices provide information on interstellar coordinates to nearby starships, as long as they have the correct access codes. They can also aid those starships that have hyperdrives but limited navicomputer capability. (XW)

Navigation Computer

also known as a NavCom Unit, these computers are used to plot trajectories and hyperspace flight plans between the planets contained in the computer's database. It uses the spatial coordinates of the ship in order to accurately chart a course. (SW, SCRE)

Navigational Deflector Shield

a starship protection device which uses an ionized graviton pulse emitter to deflect solid matter away from the ship. These shields are extremely important for protecting starships moving at high speeds, but are not effective for deflecting large objects. (WEG)

Navigator’s Guild

this ancient guild was responsible for the discovery, cataloguing, and availability of hyperspace routes. Their membership was made up of daring explorers who braved the unknowns of deep space to find quicker ways to get from one major trade center to another. Once a new route was discovered, the right to use the route was sold by the guild, with a percentage of the royalties going to pay the explorers which found it. (GAS)

Navik

the leader of the Chattza Rodians, Navik is easily distinguished by the red birthmark which covers his face. This birthmark led to his nickname, Navik the Red. He perpetuated the warlike nature of the Rodians, using the traditional wargames as an excuse to make war on other tribes. In doing so, he killed Greedo's father and forced the Tetsus tribe to Flee Rodia. He unted them down, forcing them off the jungle planet they had adopted and onto Nar Shaddaa. (TME)

Navy, Imperial

the space-going branch of the Imperial armed forces, the Navy oversaw all operations the involved the Imperial fleet. They had become a mental weapon for the Emperor Palpatine, who used them as a primary part of his "rule by fear" doctrine. He beefed up the Navy, adding the larger and fiercer Imperial- and Super-class Star Destroyers while increasing the speed and firepower of the TIE fighter squadrons. It was rumored that, at its height, the Navy consisted of over 25,000 Imperial-class Star Destroyers. The Imperial Navy also possessed the sophistication to determine galactic stellar coordinates to 3 additional decimal places over and above the necessary precision for most navicomputers. (SW, AC, WEG)

Navy, New Republic

the space-going branch of the New Republic armed forces, the Navy oversaw all operations the involved the Republic fleet.

Like the Alliance before it, the New Republic Navy initially consisted of ships that were donated, on loan, or stolen. This meant that many ships were outdatedm and there were several instances where designs were represented by a single ship. This made for tremendous logistical problems for maintenance and repair. Thus, one of the first considerations of the New Republic was outfitting its Navy with new classes of starships. Among the first of the new fleet were the Sacheen- and Hajen-class ships. Following the defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn and Palpatine's cloned reincarnations, the New Republic began to decommission much of the Navy, feeling that the need for their firepower was past. This led, in part, to many star systems beginning to consider secession from the New Republic, in order to more fully protect their assets. The Corellian Sector was one of these systems, and Thrackan Sal-Solo took advantage of the New Republic's reduced firepower to actually seceed from the Republic. The also possessed the sophistication to determine galactic stellar coordinates to 3 additional decimal places over and above the necessary precision for most navicomputers. (SW, AC, BTS)

Nawara Ven

this Twi'lek was a member of Wedge Antilles' X-Wing Rogue Squadron. On Ryloth, Nawara was born to the Ven clan. His name was translated literally to be "tongue of silver," but the translation was modified to mean "excellent speaker." On Ryloth, he is known as Nawar'aven, which indicates the Twi'leki tendency to modify names to indicate meaning. If he were known by his true clan name, Nawara'ven, the translation would then be "tarnished silver." He was a lawyer with the New Republic before applying for fighter duty. As such, he drew a part in the mission to liberate Coruscant. Once on the planet, Nawara contracted the Krytos virus, but underwent immediate bacta therapy and was able to overcome the virus. He later served as Tycho Celchu's defendant in the trial of Corran Horn's murder, as well as the Rogue Squadron primary representative in the mission to Ryloth to obtain Kor ryll. Upon his return to Coruscant, Ven was contacted by Kirtan Loor, who offered to expose every Imperial agent on Coruscant, including the true identity of the traitor in Rogue Squadron, in return for freedom from Ysanne Isard and certain liberties. Ven brokered a deal with the New Republic's Provisional Council, and met Loor with Iella Wessiri in the bowels of Imperial City. When they exitted the turbolift at the prosecutor's level, they were attacked by Diric Wessiri. Wessiri believed that Loor was actuall Evir Derricote, and wanted to kill Derricote for enslaving him. Instead, Diric shot Ven in the hip before killing Loor. Diric himself was killed by his own wife, Iella, who believed him to be a crazed assassin. Ven managed to overcome the injury and return to Rogue Squadron, but was shot down during the Battle of Thyferra by Erisi Dlarit. He ejected before his X-Wing exploded, but he sustained damage to his legs when his vacuum suit was pierced by shrapnel. He decided to give up flying and become the Rogue's Executive officer. He later started working for Booster Terrik aboard the Errant Venture, using his legal and accounting skills to keep the floating outpost solvent. (XWN, WG, KT, BW, SOP)

Nebulon-B Frigate

the designation of the Kuat Drive Yards EF76B Escort ship, it is a strangely-shaped ship that has a long, thin hull with its main decks hanging off the front end and the engines hanging off the rear. It measured 300 meters in length. They are slow, unwieldy ships, and were designed to carry a number of TIE Fighters as protection. Originally built for Imperial escort duty just after the Battle of Yavin, the Alliance was able to capture a number of them intact, and used these frigates as medical ships. They had a normal crew of 920. They were built at a cost of 194,000,000 credits, not quite a fifth the cost of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer.

The Nebulon-B Frigate boasts the following shipboard systems:

- 12 Borstel RH8 Laser Cannon Batteries

- 2 Phylon-Q7 Tractor Beam Projectors

- Serridge SEAL Shielding System (rated at 160 SBD)

- 12 Taim and Bak XI7 Turbolaser Batteries

After Ulic was possessed by the Sith magic of Exar Kun, the Ranger fell into Cay's hands, and he used to assist the Jedi during the Great Sith War. Cay took it to Ossus in an attempt to help the Jedi recover their lore after the destruction of the Cron System. However, he discovered Ulic's presence there, and took to the skies to defeat his brother. In the battle, the Ranger was destroyed by Ulic, forcing Cay to land at great cost to the ship. Ulic then murdered Cay in a lightsaber battle. (TOJ, DLS, TSW)

Less than three meters long and extremely fast, Needles could be deployed from anywhere in the vicinity of their target. They were build from small, shielded transport shells manufactured by Seifax, and employed small hyperdrives built by the Bith. The droch Dzym agreed to supply Loronar with Sppok crystals for CCIR in return for weapons and synthdroids. In the field, Needles were controlled from a remote location, usually the starship from which they were launched. Their speed and size made them nearly impossible to detect and track.

Vima tried to teach her, but Neema wanted to learn more than her mother's traditional teachings would provide. Neema began to experiment on her own, unknowingly delving deeper and deeper into the Dark Side of the Force. Thus, Neema's fall from the Light Side was utterly complete, beyond even Vima's ability. Vima kept trying, though, and Neema became angry at her mother's attempts. She fled her mother and became the mistress of an Ottethan warlord, in a effort to gain the aid of some friends who courted him. Neema eventually married him, to further gain aid, but he quickly tired of her and cast her out. Neema used all of her Dark Side power to strike him down, but the warlord used a primitive defense and survived the attack. He then imprisoned her, where she eventually repented her ways and tried to telepathically contact her mother, in an attempt to regain her freedom. Vima heard, but arrived too late, for the Ottethan had set her loose in the forests of his home world, where she was killed by the native rancors. (DE1, DESB)

The Neimoidians developed the Trade Federation several decades before the Battle of Naboo, hoping to increase trade to the Outer Rim worlds while maintaining an equitable balance between the poorer worlds of the Rim and their richer, Coreward kin. When the Old Republic began taxing the trade routes between the Core and the Outer Rim, the Neimoidians and the Trade Federation were outraged, but their whining could do little to repeal it.

He got caught in no-man’s-land when he mistakenly followed Falan Iniro out of hiding before the rest of Nar Shaddaa’s defense forces were ready. Jaub saw Iniro and the Take That! destroyed by the mistake. Jaub managed to take out a few TIE Fighters that launched from the Carrack-class ships that made up the Imperial picket line before sustaining damage himself. Rather than die without fighting back, Jaub piloted his small freighter - the Bnef Nlle - on a collision course with the Vigilance. The impact destroyed the smaller ship and killed Jaub, but the cruiser was defenseless after losing its shields. (THG)

Nigel IV

the fourth planet in the Nigel System, this world is located along the Enarc Run. The natives of Nigel IV are a peaceful people, and only formed a republican government at the insistence of the natives during the New Order. It was at this time that Nigel IV became involved with galactic trade, and the influx of travelers and spacers brought crime to the world. The laws and penal system of Nigel IV have been very strict since the Galactic Civil War, and have been successful in keeping the planet crime-free. A cool planet covered with flat plains and vast glaciers, Nigel IV rotates once every 20 standard hours, and orbits its star once every 325 local days. (TSK)

Night Beast

a huge, humanoid creature left behind by the Massassi to keep Yavin 4 safe until they could return. It is depicted in The Sith War as a huge, red-skinned humanoid with skied scales and horns, while Classic Star Wars depicts it as a large, fish-like humanoid with sharp claws and fangs. Classic Star Wars holds that the ancient Massassi created the besat to guard the temples against an enemy takeover, but The Sith War simply showed Exar Kun and the Massassi placing in the depths of the Great Temple as a guardian. It was held in suspended animation until Admiral Griff launched his atack on the Alliance base on Yavin 4. A TIE Bomber crashed on moon, penetrating the Great Temple's lower levels and cracking the beast's suspended animation capsule open. It then began to roam the tunnels of the temple, destroying Alliance equipment in what it believed was the fulfilment of its purpose. It had some use of the Force, and used it to shield itself from energy weapons. When Luke Skywalker discovered the creature, he and R2-D2 were able to drive it away by using the Force to lure the beast into a space transport. They had programmed the transport for auto-jump, and once the night beast was inside, they initiated the launch sequence. The beast was sent into hyperspace. One of the random jumps performed by the transport brought the beast back to Alliance space. This time, through the Force, Luke explained that the beast would eventually find its former masters by getting onto the transport. (CSW, TSW)

Night Caller

one of the CR90 corvettes under the command of Apwar Trigit, the Night Caller was heavily modified from its original specifications during its initial design. The bow was widened and much of it gutted to allow for a small TIE fighter hangar, while the topside hold had been enlarged to act as storage hold for skimmers. One of the turbolaser turrets on the bow was replaced with a capital-ship tractor beam. The Night Caller was dispatched to destroy the New Republic's base on Folor using Empion mines. While it succeeded in knocking out much of the base, the Night Caller was captured when the Wraith Squadron pilots created the Lunatic and lured the Night Caller in to capture it. Voort saBinring was hidden inside, and when the Lunatic was drawn into the ship's hold, he managed to take control of the bridge and take the ship for the New Republic. The crew was so taken by the surprise of Voort's attack, that they didn't wipe out its computer memory banks, nor did they get off a distress call to Trigit. The Night Caller's flight logs led the Wraiths to several of Zsinj's holdings. Since the warlord and Trigit were unaware that the ship had been captured, Wedge Antilles and Choday Hrakness continued to respond to their orders, and then had the Wraiths fly in after and seemlingly attack them. (WS)

The other Jensaarai accompanying him was the husband of a Jensaarai who would become the next Saarai-kaar on Suarbi 7/5 and confront Corran Horn. (IJ)

Nikta

this frothy, powerful alcoholic beverage was created by the Nikto race. (GG12)

Nikto

a humanoid alien race which evolved into five distinct branches on the planet Kintan. They are an ancient specis, being one of the three races signed into servitude to the Hutts during the battle against Xim the Despot. The Nikto are characterized by their leathery skin, reptilian eyes, and fierce temperments. All five races are genetically capable of interbreeding; 93% of the offspring from such unions resemble only one of the parents. There were a number of environmental and geological changes that greatly affected life on Kintan, causing the once-singular Nikto race to evolve its five unique races. Chief among these changes was the radiation expelled by the nearby star M'dweshuu. The Red Nikto, called Kajain'sa'Nikto, evolved in the deserts. They have ridged foreheads, eight small horns around the eyes, and two at the chin. They breath through a permeable membrane over their mouths and through four breather tubes on their necks. The Green Nikto, known as Kadas'sa'Nikto, evolved in the forests. They are visibly scaled, with obvious noses and small horns ringing their eyes. The Mountain Nikto are called Esral'sa'Nikto, and have smooth skin. Their ears are large and fin-shaped, designed to be extended or pulled flat to regulate body heat and enhance hearing. They also have a nasal membrane similar to the Red Nikto. The Pale Nikto, called Gluss'sa'Nikto, are found in the islands of the planet. They resemble the Green Nikto, with fin-like ears. The last race, called M'shento'su'Nikto or Southern Nikto, lack any horns but have a number of breather tubes at various points on their skulls. Their inner strength and fierce nature has been honed over millennia of survival against the predators of Kintan. This led to four intense civil wars which nearly destroyed Kintan some 30 years before the Nikto helped the Hutts defeat Xim. The Hutts then distributed the Nikto to various worlds as bodyguards and strongmen. The Nikto developed atomic-level technology on their own, and absorbed galactic technology from the Hutts. They have remained under Hutt control for over 25,000 years, for the most part remaining neutral throughout the various battles between the Empire and the Alliance. (ROTJ, TOJ, GG12, SWAJ)

Nil Spaar

this cunning Yevethan was in charge of the Yevethan workers at the Imperial shipyard known as Black-15. While there, he plotted to overthrow the Imperials and take control of the shipyards for the Yevethans, and bided his time working under Jian Paret. When the official order to evacuate the shipyards and destroy its ships was issued, Spaar heard it almost as quickly as Paret did, and put his plans into motion. The Yevethan workers gained access to the spaceworthy Imperial craft, and slaughtered their crews. Nil Spaar personally executed Jian Paret and took control of the Intimidator. With his plan under way, Nil Spaar and the Yevetha retreated into the Koornacht Cluster to repair their ships and plan the next phase of attack. The next phase began twelve years later, and would be known among the Yevetha as the Great Purge. Nil Spaar went to Coruscant to discuss a mutual relationship between the Yevethan Duskhan League and the New Republic with Leia Organa-Solo. Spaar carefully avoided an alliance while probing for weaknesses in Leia's government. Spaar wooed certain New Republic Senators who opposed Leia's ideals, and through them sowed seeds of unrest in the Senate. When Leia discovered the missing Black Sword Command, Nil Spaar again called the Yevetha to act, and used a carefully orchestarted series of events to his own ends. He twisted the events to appear as if Leia were the agressor and himself an innocent victim, while launching a wave of extermination throughout the Koornacht. The Yevetha wiped out any non-Yevethan settlements, keeping intact any strategic mines or businesses. Nil Spaar then retreated to N'Zoth to enjoy the fruits of his labors.

He used the New Republic’s HoloNet communications network to bombard the citizens and Senators with slanderous accusations against Leia, and he fostered relationships with several disgruntled Senators. He also place Belezaboth Ourn on Coruscant, and the set-up provided him with a great deal of advanced information on the Republic’s moves with regard to the Yevetha. When the Republic decided to send Han Solo to command the Fifth Battle Group, Spaar ordered that Solo be captured, as a way to bring Leia under his control. At the same time, he began breeding with several Yevethan females, hoping to ensure his immortality through prodigious offspring. Taking some of the advice of Tal Fraan, Spaar kept a group of prisoners - taken from each of the worlds the Yevetha purged - on the Pride of Yevetha. This assured that the Republic would not take direct action against him, for fear of harming innocent captives. Among the captives was Han Solo, but Chewbacca and Lumpawarump were able to penetrate the Star Destroyer and rescue Solo. During the rescue, the Wookiees also destroyed many of Spaar’s mara-nas casks. This series of events angered Spaar into taking foolish actions, which led to his eventual defeat at the Battle of N’zoth. Unbeknownst to Spaar, the Imperial officers he had kept prisoner ever since the Yevetha took control of the Black Sword shipyards were also rising up against him. Led by Sil Sorannan, the Imperials took control of several Yevethan warships during the Battle, including the Pride of Yevetha. Sorannan, wanting to kill Spaar outright but also wanting Spaar to suffer for his actions, forced the Yevethan leader into an escape pod as the Super-class Star Destroyer travelled through hyperspace toward Byss. The pod was ejected into hyperspace, and Nil Spaar was never heard from again. (BTS, SOL, TT)

His daughter, Larka, was the light of his life, and when she was framed for the murder to Ket Krax, he was furious. When she told him that she was in love with Ket, he realized she was innocent, and prepared to use sky cannon inside Mount Yeroc to defend against an impending Troob attack.

Nirauan istelf is a drab, seemingly lifeless world wen viewed from space, with dull browns and grays dominating the surface. The planet was covered in vegetations, however, although the normally green color had given way to the duller colors in order to survive in the pale light received from its sun. The rocky strata of the planet is riddled with veins of cortosis ore. Hidden deep in a cave, Jade found the entrance to a huge fortress which was similar those located on Hijarna. Inside the cave, she found a group of mynock-like creatures that seemed to communicate by sending thoughts through the Force. They later revealed themselves to be of two races, the Qom Qae and the Qom Jha. They registered a marked reaction when she talked about Luke Skywalker. The planet was also the site of the fortress known as the Hand of Thrawn, a five-towered citadel maintained by the Chiss in hopes of Thrawn's reappearance ten years after his death. (SOP, VOF)

Grand Admiral Thrawn attacked the planet twice. The first attack was aimed at obtaining some of Lando's mole miners for use in the attack on Sluis Van. The second was an attack to neutralize a primary source of ore for the New Republic. Lando was ready to rebuilt his Nomad City mining operation, but he los the planet in a sabacc match. The planet's rotational period lasts 3,527 standard hours. Thus, the planet's "year," one complete orbit around its sun, lasts only 5 local days. (HTTE, HTSB, JS)

race subservient to the Empire, known for their guerrilla techniques. Short in stature, with needle-sharp teeth, steel-grey skin, large dark eyes, and protruding jaws. They were nearly wiped out when two starships battled over its surface. One of them was destroyed, and plummeted to the ground, releasing noxious chemicals and rendering much of the planet uninhabitable.

This was only a ruse, however, perpetrated by Emperor Palpatine as a way to reduce the will of the Noghri and bend it to his own uses. The Emperor dispatched Darth Vader to offer assistance to the Noghri, who were only too happy to accept. The price for their salvation was that they had to send their sons to Palpatine for use as silent commandos.

Palpatine had all knowledge of the Noghri erased from the Imperial databases in order to heighten the effect of his commando teams.

When Princess Leia discovered the Emperor's plan and was able to show the Noghri how they had been tricked, the Noghri quickly began recalling its sons from their commando teams, and joined the New Republic's struggle against the remnants of the Empire.

In the aftermath of Thrawn’s death and the destruction of the Mount Tantiss storehouse, the New Republic worked with the Noghri to restore Honoghr’s ecosystem. However, the damage inflicted by the Empire proved to be too much to overcome. The Republic, and a poetic form of justice, gave the Noghri the option to resettle on Wayland. Many of the Noghri clans made the move, taking up residence on Wayland alongside the Psadans and the Myneyrsh. (HTTE, DFR, SOP)

She paid Bornan Thul to transport it to her, but he disappeared with the datadisk and had to be hunted down by the likes of Boba Fett and Zekk. When she finally located the Imperial storehouse, Bornan tried to stop her. With the help of the yougn students of Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Academy, Tarkona was nearly captured. In the firefight between their forces, several of the Imperial plagues were unleashed, including the Emperor’s Plague and a virus dangerous to Twi’leks. Both Bornan Thul and Nolaa Tarkona contracted one of Evir Derricote’s viruses in the plague chamber, but Tarkona managed to escape with Raabakyysh. They fled the storehouse, but Tarkona was too ill to notice that the young Wookiee had blindly jumped into hyperspace. Raaba landed on a remote world and quarantined them both, until Nolaa died of her virus. She hoped that the virus would eventually die, and become harmless to the rest of the galaxy. (SHA, TEP)

Fey'lya knew that many of the councilors would dislike the planet's dry polen-filled atmosphere, and that would put them on edge and at odds with each other. He then stepped in to "reconcile" the situation, gaining his own advantage in the proceedings. The renegade Impreial warlord, Zsinj, took his fleet there to eliminate the Republic outpost, following the capture of Borleias by the Republic. He was too late, and only destroyed empty buildings.

When agents from the Shadow Academy went to Coruscant to search out Force-sensitives for training, they also took the members of the Lost Ones for stormtrooper training. Norys welcomed the chance to prove himself as a stormtrooper, and trained at every opportunity. His marksmanship grew quickly, but he lacked the discipline essential to a stormtrooper. He did become one of the Shadow Academy’s troopers, much to the chagrin of Qorl, who trained him. Qorl despised Norys for his lack of respect for his superiors, and their differences flared up during the Shadow Academy’s attack on Yavin 4. Norys had, by then, learned to fly a TIE Fighter, and went off on his own to take out the Lightning Rod.

Nothos, Bane

Bane Nothos was, at one time, an aspiring Imperial district commander of the space surrounding the Roche Asteroid Field. Nothos was something of a tactical genius. He was assigned by Emperor Palpatine to shut down Ackbar's Shantipole Project, and given a new Nebulon-B frigate to maintain control of the asteroids. Nothos then planted Salin Glek in the project as a spy and informant. Nothos demanded that the Verpine submit or die, but was rejected by Jurfel. He allowed Shantipole to run its course, choosing to take possession of fully-operative B-Wings instead of just plans and designs. At Salin Glek's notice, Nothos attacked Shantipole, and even obtained possession of the B-Wing prototypes. He was able to anticipate Ackbar's actions for a time. However, Alliance agents - including Ackbar - were able to foil his attempt to take control of the project and steal his Nebulon-B frigate. The Shantipole Project was a complete success for the Alliance, and Nothos was demoted. He was then sent to the Outer Rim Territories to lead a patrol fleet. While there, he was captured by a group of Alliance spies. He was being transported to an Alliance penal world aboard the Celestial when he staged an escape. When the transport ship had hyperdrive problems and was lost in Otherspace, Nothos was forced to submit to the powers of Grand Moff Ravik. They were captured by the Charon ship Desolate and forced to flee the machinations of Ber’asco. Nothos eventually was killed when a group of Alliance agents - dispatched to take control of the Celestial - tried to rescue the crew of the transport from Otherspace. The Alliance agents tried to fight the Charon, and Nothos tried to toss a thermal detonator into the melee to ensure their death. However, the detonator exploded before he could throw it, opening a huge hole in the Desolate. Nothos and his Imperial subordinates were believed killed in the explosion, but Nothos somehow survived. He was captured and put into cryogenic sleep, until Ber’asco lost the strange mental battle with Ravik. Ber’asco’s mind then took control of Nothos’ body, and used it to hunt down Ravik. In a battle on the planet Stronghold, Ber’asco used Nothos’ body to nearly defeat Ravik, but the stronger Ravik crushed Nothos’ body in his iron grip. Both Ber’asco and Nothos ceased to exist. (SFS, OS, OS2)

Both cities began producing the stardrive, and the increased trade competition led to the first Bith war in a million years. Nozho struck first, launching a chemical attack that wiped out most of Weogar's population. Weogar's retailiation was a biological weapon that mutated the genetic structure of any life form it contacted, leaving Nozho a desolate land filled with genetic monsters. The survivors were forced to build hermetically-sealed cities in order to survive the devastation. (GG4)
