Odan-Urr
a reptilian Jedi Master, Odan-Urr was a grey-skinned alien who was assigned to assist Empress Teta in securing the seven systems, and he was also given the task of being the watchman of the Koros System. Descended from a race of fierce predators, he communicated by telepathic means, contacting all his people through the Force, rather than speaking
. Odan-Urr was trained by the ancient Master Ooroo, and was content to simply study the history of the Jedi and the Sith before being dispatched to the Empress Teta System. It was Odan-Urr who had a vision of Marka Ragnos’ death and the chaos that would result from it. He was taken to Coruscant by Empress Teta, in order for him to alert the Old Republic to the danger. Unfortunately, the Republic ignored Odan-Urr’s vision, claiming it was the delusion of an untrained Knight. Teta, however, was not as demeaning, and mustered her own armed forces to prepare for a Sith attack. Odan-Urr joined his own Master, Ooroo, in the defense of Kirrek against Naga Sadow’s Dark Side forces. When the tide began turning to the Sith forces, Ooroo sacrificed himself to kill them off with the cyanogen atmosphere in which he lived. His dying words to his student were prophetic, telling the young Jedi that he would become one of the most ancient Jedi ever. Odan-Urr then stood by Empress Teta’s side during the Great Hyperspace War, and assisted in the destruction of Naga Sadow’s Sith Empire. After searching the wreckage of Sadow’s ship, he found the Sith Holocron and took it with him to Ossus, where he helped create the huge Jedi library there. Odan-Urr later presided over the Jedi Assemblies for more than 600 years prior to the assembly on Deneba to discuss the rising Dark Side tide and the Krath. It was Odan-Urr who taught Nomi Sunrider how to block another person from the Force. Odan-Urr was the Jedi keeper of antiquities, and possessed a rare Sith holocron. His possession of the dark holocron did not go unnoticed by Exar Kun, who killed Odan-Urr while stealing it. (DLS, TSW, GAS, FOSE)

Odumin
Odumin was a Tynnan skip-tracer working in the Corporate Sector Authority. He found rapid advancement within the confines of the Authority, using his abilities as a delegator to have humans do his work for him while he remained anonymous. He remained so anonymous that rumors that he was really Emperor Palpatine in disguise began to surround him. Odumin reached the level of Detached Duty agent for the Auditor-General, and saved the Grand Inquisitor Torbin fro assassination by agents of the Church of the First Frequency. He was promoted to a staff position, and Torbin suggested a larger reward. Odumin declined, liking his anonymity to remain more or less intact. He worked his way up the Authority ladder to become the territorial manager for the area near Bonadan after singelhandedly taking out the Xiochi slaver gang. His demeanor has been described as greatly humanitarian, and he is known as a decent administrator. He was nearly killed in an assassination attempt by the Malrom Family, so Odumin hired Gallandro to take care of them. It was shortly after this incident that he started building his slavery operation. It was at this time that Fiolla found small inklings about the operation, and began her investigation. Odumin thought that Han Solo was Zlarb, and when he tried to leave Bonadan aboard the Millennium Falcon, Odumin thought it was Zlarb trying to skip out on him. He tried to drug Han and immobilize him, but Han proved more resourceful. Odumin was forced to assume the guise of the skip-tracer Spray, who helped Chewbacca fly the Falcon to Ammuud. There, Odumin attempted to wrap up the loose ends created by Han Solo. He revealed that Fiolla was working for him, and that he had tried to use the Reesbon clan to help with his slave traffic. The Ewwen's father - the Mor Glayyd at the time - saw this as a possible betrayal of his clan, and tried to work a deal with him. He was poisoned, once Han discovered the connection, and the plot to kill Ewwen was put into motion. (HSR, CSA)

Following the death of Amanoa during the intervention of Jedi Master Arca and his Jedi Knights, Ommin went into hiding, and was kept alive by mechanical means. Only his daughter, Galia, and a few trusted advisors knew he was still alive. When Arca came to Ommin to request help in recovering the stolen remains of Freedon Nadd, Ommin drew on the Dark Side of the Force to capture Arca.

The Onderonians struggled against the beasts, eventually gathering new technologies and building a huge walled city to protect themselves from the beasts. The Onderonians then threw their criminal out into the wilderness without any protection from the beasts. The outcasts soon learned to defend themselves, and a second civilization grew out of the outcasts. They two groups remained at war with each other for many years, and the Old Republic asked the Jedi to watch over the world. When Master Arca took over its watch and assigned Ulic Qel-Droma to the planet, the war was ended when the Onderonian princess Galia married the Beastprince. Onderon was also the planet on which Freedon Nadd tried to set up his Sith Kingdom. Like many other fringe worlds, the Onderonians have a distrust of aliens. (FNU, DLS)
One, The
a member of a large number of aliens who have existed for eons in the depths of space. They were descended from a race of organic machines built by an extinct race whose sun went supernova. The machines survived, and continued to grow. While their creators had no urge to explore space, The One and his race began travelling across the galaxy. Being somewhat conservative, though, they shied away from any contact with other lifeforms. They were huge, rounded versions of Vuffi Raa, and built other organic ships to transport their knowledge. However, in the ages since the destruction of their creatores, The One's race has grown stagnant, and they long for excitement and risks. The One decides to take matters into his own hands, and creates Vuffi Raa as a reconnaissance machine. He hopes that Vuffi Raa will make contact with many various lifeforms in the galaxy and report back to Tthe One. He planted Vuffi Raa in a starship cargo hold, and activated him prematurely, setting of the chain of events that led to the Imperial blockade of the ThonBoka. The One, The Other, and The Rest rushed to the ThonBoka, only to find that the Oswaft and Lando Calrissian had matters pretty much under control. The One and his counterparts intervened when the Imperials were about to turn the tide of the battle. (LCS)

Oneness, The
this false religion was set up by the Hutts and the t’landa Til as a legitimate front for a spice processing facility. The religion centered on Exaltations, which were simply sonic vibrations created by the t’landa Til. Using throat pouches, the creatures can emit vibrations that affect the sensory centers of the brain. The pilgrims which flee society to join the religion speak of intense pleasure and a sense of calm from the Exaltations. The pilgrims eventually find that they can’t live without the sensory experience, and attend daily devotions regularly. The t’landa Til then use the pilgrims as slaves, telling them that the work they perform serves the Oneness. In reality, the pilgrims are simply processing raw spice - andris, carsunum, ryll, and glitterstim - for sale by the Hutts. The incredible pureness and processing capability of the pseudo-religion, which operated on the planet Ylesia, made it more than a match for the facilities on Kessel or Ryloth. (TPS)

Onoh
this small, yellow-skinned creature was loyal to Jabba the Hutt. The Hutt had placed Onoh in place as the watchman over his escape ship, hidden in the rock of Glass Mountain on Tatooine. Onoh resembled a cross between a reptilian kangaroo and a catfish, and was quite excitable. Onoh threw in his lot with Big Gizz and Spiker, shortly after he was attacked by Gorga the Hutt’s henchmen. Onoh did his job well, although annoyingly, constantly reminding Spiker and Big Gizz that Jabba was going to haunt them if they stole anything, including the escape ship Spirit of Jabba. Both of the criminals ignored Onoh, taking him along for the ride. Jabba had entrusted Onoh with the security override codes for the main computer, and Onoh used them when the Spirit of Jabba was attacked by the Nemphas. However, their control of the ship was brief. They were forced to crash-land the ship outside of Mos Eisley in order to escape Gorga the Hutt’s minions. Onoh, Spiker and Gizz survived, and made their way back to civilization. (TJT)

Ood Bnar
an ancient Neti Jedi Master, descended from a creature that lived in the trees of Myrkr. He was 1,000 years old when his prophecies and knowledge enabled him to be named the gatekeeper of the Jedi Holocron posessed by Master Arca just before the Great Sith War. Arca loaned it to Thon just before Thon apprenticed Nomi Sunrider, and Thon used it often in Nomi's training. Ood Bnar appears as a sluglike humanoid, whose round head has no eyes but is covered with long appendages which hang to his waist. Ood Bnar was thought to have been long dead, until Luke Skywalker and Kam Solusar discovered the ancient, tree-like creature on Ossus. There, Bnar was helping the Ysanna tribe discover their Force sensitivity. In a ritual, all young Ysanna warrior-priests were tied to Ood Bnar's form, humbling them in the face of the Light Side of the Force. Bnar was later forced to confront the Executor Sedriss, and in a duel of Dark and Light Side energies, Bnar and Sedriss exploded. Sedriss was not heard from again, but a smaller form of Ood Bnar was found growing in the Jedi Master's former location. The explosion of the two enemies opened a chasm in the earth surrounding the Jedi Master's location, and the Ysanna discovered a wealth of ancient but operable lightsabers. This was a sign to Luke and Kam that the Jedi Knights were about to be reborn. (TOJ, DE2)

When she landed on Tatooine, she and her companions were intercepted Luke Skywalker, who offered to help them escape their coming slavery. Her companion, Sienn, chose to flee with Luke. Oola couldn't bring herself to scape, and was brought to Jabba. Fortuna fitted her with a leather headdress that contained large metal studs. These studs protruded on the inside of the leather helmet, clogging her ears and causing her undue pain. She was killed by Jabba's rancor after only two days of work, when she refused to submit to Jabba's demands. Jabba opened the trapdoor near his Hutt floater and let her drop into the Rancor's pit. Oola was portrayed by Femi Taylor in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. (ROTJ, CCG7, TEP)

Ooroo
this ancient Jedi master taught the venerable Odan-Urr. An ocean creature native of a world with a dense, cyanogen-rich atmosphere, Ooroo was a brain-like creature encased in a yellow crystal which maintained the cyanogen atmosphere in which he survived. Ooroo went to Cinnagar to visit with Empress Teta and Odan-Urr shortly after his student was ridiculed on Coruscant for believing in an imminent Sith attack. Ooroo, however, believed that his student was correct in the interpretation of his vision, as were several other Jedi Masters. Ooroo and Odan-Urr led the defense of Kirrek when Naga Sadow finally launched his attack, but they were unable to turn the tide of battle with the Force. Ooroo, seeing that he alone held the key to the battle, told the Jedi to seek shelter and then cracked open his crystal shell. The cyanogen atmosphere was deadly to the Sith forces, which were killed almost immediately. However, Ooroo was unable to survive in an oxygen atmosphere, and expired in Odan-Urr’s arms. Like all Jedi Masters, Ooroo’s physical form dissipated as his lifeforce became etheral. (FOSE)

He survived several battles in which he was nearly shot down, and his breathing apparatus helped him avoid the Krytos plague. His ability to defeat his enemies drew the interest of Vviir Wiamdi and the ruetsavii shortly before the Battle of Thyferra. Vviir and two others flew with the Rogues to witness Ooryl's abilities and to criticize them, if possible. When they all survived the battle which ended the Bacta War, Vviir and his companions deemed Ooryl janwuine, and invited all of Rogue Squadron to Gand as hinwuine. Ooryl was soon after initiated into the ranks of Gand Findsman, although he maintained his standing with the Rogues throughout the battles with Grand Admiral Thrawn and Leonira Tavira. (XWN, BW, IJ)

However, her actions were noticed by her father, and she soon found herself promised to Hirken. Her superficial nature was further heightened by the revelation that she had found a husband before her sisters. After they were married, Neera found herself left out of Hirken's administrative life, and became lonely and unhappy. When Hirken was assigned to Mytus VII, Neera thought she would die of boredom. When Han Solo infiltrated Mutus VII, Neera and Hirken was in the main tower of Stars' End when it exploded and shot into space. Hirken abandoned her to the Stars' End tower while pleading with Han Solo to help him get off the doomed structure, and Neera shot him in the back.

Operation Hammerblow
this New Republic Naval operation was first implemented by the Fifth Battle Group. It involved the use of K-Wing bombers to knock out a planet's defensive shielding, thus allowing larger ships to knock out weapons emplacements in preparation for landing. It was heavily opposed in some circles of the New Republic Senate, for it was a heavy-handed use of military power by a government supposedly opposed to the subjugation of planets. Admiral Ackbar and the supporters of the operation cited many planets under Imperial control that would require the use of such tactics. (BTS)
Operation Peacemaker
this Imperial directive was used to subjugate planetary systems in which two or more indigenous races were at war with each other. The basic outline of Operation Peacemaker is to artifically escalate the tension between the races, to the point that all-out war is inevitable. The Empire can then invade the system with the outward goal of initiating peace between the warring peoples. The ultimate goal of this plan was the subjugation of all the warring parties under Imperial control. (SWJ9)

Operation 45RA
this is the codename of the plan devised by the Farool brothers to capture Crying Dawn Singer and discredit the Alliance in the eyes of the Shashay. The operation was initiated some time after the Battle of Yavin, and involved not only the capture of Crying Dawn Singer but a series of transmissions which showed Yearo Seville posing as the leader of the Alliance in Rayter Sector. The Farools hoped that it would impress Moff Nile Owen, and gain them both promotions. A separate part of the operation involved the Farools also discrediting Moff Owen, with a transmission which showed Owen’s lack of compassion in the matter. This plan would remove Owen from power and place the Farools in his place. The operation was thwarted by Alliance agents in Rayter Sector who managed to infiltrate the plan and recover Crying Dawn Singer before the Farools could gain power. (TA)

Order of the Canted Circle
this elitist group is one of the oldest and most exclusive social orders found on the planet Coruscant. Due to the large number of wealthy individuals who make Coruscant their home, the waiting list for admission into the Order is quite long, and the requirements quite rigid. During Emperor Palpatine’s reign, the Order was primarily made up from Imperial dignitaries and high-ranking military officers. On average, only eleven new members are chosen each decade. (SWJ9)
Order of the Terrible Glare
this ancient preisthood was based on the planet Garn. It was destroyed by the Jedi Knights thousands of years before the Battle of Yavin, but the Order left behind the Portal Desolate on Garn. Within the portal was a computer-generated image of Rur, the last of the Order's High Shamen. Rur's image was placed there to destroy the Jedi once the Order could be re-established.

Ore Sucker
a small pirate ship developed to steal the cargo from the huge Colossus Wasp transport ships. These ships roam the Stenness System, looking for Wasp transports. When they find one, the ore suckers latch onto the Wasp's exterior, and bore into the hull with a drill or laser. Once the hull has been breached, the ore suckers open their own cargo bay hatches and lock them over the breach. The pilots then blow the other cargo bay doors on the ore suckers, creating a vacuum in their own holds. This vacuum sucks the cargo out of the Wasp's holds and into the ore sucker's holds. The pirates who used them had to be quick, so that the stolen cargo didn't simply fly out through their second open portal. (TOJ)

Organa, Bail Prestor
Bail Organa was a youth when the hierarchy of Alderaan was thrown into a huge debate about the ascendancy. There were a number of royal families that held claims to the throne of Viceroy of Alderaan, and each of the families was eager to get its own candidate named to the position. After a lot of political backstabbing and lobbying, the Old Republic was called in and, with the help of the Jedi Knights, finally decided that the Organa family were the rightful successors to the seat of Viceroy. Bail quickly asserted himself as a high-ranking graduate from the Academy, and became famous for his valor in the Clone Wars, where he fought along side the Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and the young pilot Anakin Skywalker. When Bail assumed the title of Viceroy and First Chairman of Alderaan, he also gained a seat on the Imperial Senate, and was soon engrossed in the new form of politics being played by Senator Palpatine and his supporters.
Note that Star Wars Journal: Queen Amidala states that Bail Organa was the first Senator to second Amidala’s motion to remove Chancellor Valorum from office with a vote of no confidence, although the novelization of The Phantom Menace states that it was Edcel Bar Gan. Organa was against the ambitious Senator and his cronies, and fought to oppose them. However, it soon became evident that Palpatine was growing in power, and that the Old Republic was rotting from the inside out. Organa was desperate, and turned to the growing resistance as an outlet for his anger. Along with Mon Mothma, Bail worked to solidify the resistance. It was about this time that Anakin Skywalker was nearly killed, and Obi-Wan Kenobi consulted him about hiding Anakin's children from the Emperor. Bail agreed to take in Anakin's wife and daughter. He raised Anakin's daughter as his own, and thereby introduced Leia to the world of Imperial politics and, also, the Alliance. When the Corellian Treaty was being discussed, it was the words of Bria Tharen that pursuaded Bail to sign it. As Bail's faith in his daughter grew, he began assigning her more and more Alliance-related missions, until that fateful mission when he asked her to pick up the stolen Death Star plans and enlist Obi-Wan Kenobi out of hiding. When Leia was intercepted by Darth Vader and later tortured aboard the Death Star, Bail continued to assist the Alliance up until Grand Moff Tarkin decided to unveil the Death Star's power by destroying the planet Alderaan in an effort to get Leia to talk. Bail was killed in the destruction. (SW, SCRE, TPS, RD, JQA)

The daughter of Anakin Skywalker, and twin sister to Luke Skywalker, Leia was separated from her brother at birth in an effort to hide their potential Force-sensitivity. She and her mother were hidden with Bail Organa on the planet Alderaan, where she grew up in the political atmosphere surrounding an Imperial Senator. Leia herself grew proficient in the world of politics, and eventually became a Senator herself. Her mother became Alderaan's Mistress of Education, but died while Leia was still young. Once Leia saw the internal corruption that Emperor Palpatine was fomenting, she quickly turned her idealistic mind to the growing Alliance to Restore the Republic. She became very active in the Alliance, and was chosen to escort the stolen plans to the first Death Star to their final destination. After being captured by Darth Vader and tortured, her homeworld of Alderaan was destroyed by Grand Moff Tarkin. This only hardened her resolve, and crystallized her desire to overthrow the Empire. Following the Battle of Yavin, Leia began to fall in love with Han Solo. The bounty on his life, however, separated them until Leia could gain access to Jabba the Hutt's palace and rescue him, with the help of Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian. She then helped the Alliance prepare for the Battle of Endor, and even was a member of Han's ground assault team. Her communication with the Ewoks led to the cooperation of the two forces against the Empire, and helped the Alliance destroy the second Death Star. She then led the team assigned to the Bakura situation, and successfully teamed up with the Imperial forces there to defeat the Ssi-ruuk. During Warlord Zsinj's reign, she appealed to the Hapans for aid in overthrowing Zsinj. They Hapans agreed to help, but only if she were to marry the crown prince, Isolder. This led to the discovery of her love for Han, as well as the Witches of Dathomir. In the end, Isolder shook off his mother's mantle and agreed to help the Alliance without marrying Leia, and he gladly gave her hand to Han Solo. Leia's marriage to Han Solo produced three Force-sensitive children: Jaina and Jacen (twins) and young baby Anakin. She worked hard to keep both Admiral Thrawn and Caridan Ambassador Furgan from kidnapping them by hiding them on Anoth with her childhood friend Winter. Following the birth of Jacen and Jaina, Leia and Luke used their combined powers to destroy the reborn Emperor Palpatine on Byss. After the birth of baby Anakin, Leia assumed the role of Chief of State of the New Republic when Mon Mothma stepped down. Leia Organa is portrayed by Carrie Fisher in all three Star Wars films. Leia was also portrayed by Ann Sachs for the Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back Radio Dramas on National Public Radio. (SW, SWR, ESB, ESBR, ROTJ, TB, CPL, HTTE, COTF)

The humans there had evolved over the generations into mutated creatures who lived squallid lives among the refuse. (BF)
Orko
known as Orko the Foultrader, this Hutt was a member of the H'uun class. Orko was a rival of Gorga the Hutt, until Gorga desired Orko's daughter's hand in marriage. Gorga had Boba Fett kill Bar-Kooda, a pirate who had been harassing Orko's shipments. Gorga then served up Bar-Kooda as the main course at a dinner for Orko at his palace on Orkana. Orko was pleased, although no less impressed, with the offering, and allowed Gorga to marry Anachro. The feud between Orko and Gorga continued, at a reduced pace, until Bar-Kooda’s brother, Ry-Kooda, heard about his brother’s death. The Koodan set out to kill off everyone involved, and nearly succeeded on Skeebo. Boba Fett intervened, taking out the Koodan before he could do any damage.

this hangout, found on the planet Lianna, was popular with spacers. It was owned by the Chevin Orman. A huge bar dominates the main floor, made of polished lizard hides from Cadinth. (ML)
Orn, Kalebb
this man worked his entire life on Mechis III, as an assembly line monitor. He was of the opinion that his presence wasn’t needed on the planet, since all the systems were heavily automated and self-designing. His superiors, however, required periodic human intervention and inspection of all processes on the line, so Orn was hired for that purpose seventeen years before the Battle of Hoth. Orn was on duty when IG-88 arrived at Mechis III and began reprogramming the security networks. Part of the new programming included the elimination of any organic life on the planet, and four worker droids pulled Orn apart before he could escape. (TBH)

son of Modon Kira, and prince of the Beastmasters, Oron was secretly entering the city of Iziz as a kind of spy for many years before Ulic Qel-Droma came to the planet. He once met the Onderonian princess Galia on one of his missions, and they fell in love. Together they arranged a false kidnapping attempt on Galia's life in order to be together. Their plan almost worked flawlessly, except that Ulic - along with his brother Cay and Tott Doneeta - followed them back to the Beastmaster city. There they learned of Oron's love for Galia, and also of the Dark Side influences working on Onderon. Oron and Galia were later married, following Queen Amanoa's death, and the peoples of Onderon were united. (TOJ)

Orowood Tower
this large building was built on Coruscant to house survivors of the destruction of Alderaan. It was painstakingly built and crafted to resemble as much of Alderaanian architecture as possible. However, many of the survivors decided that living on Coruscant, close to the Imperial Palace and the memories of Emperor Palpatine, was too emotionally difficult. After the reign of terror of Grand Admiral Thrawn, all the remaining Alderaanians abandoned the Tower, and it became a business center. The Tower itself was 38-levels tall; the third level of the Tower held airspeeder parking pads, and the fourth level held five tapcafes. (SOP)
Orr, Alijah
this Imperial Customs Officer was one of the most powerful men in the Shesharile System during the height of the New Order. Only the local governor had more power. Orr was in charge of all in-system customs, and had the ability to confiscate and search any ships passing through Shesharile. In order to keep Orr happy, the local businessmen and trade cartels constantly invited him to parties and galas, and showered him with gifts. All of this was amusing to Orr, who was a rigid Imperial officer who believed in the exact letter of the law. This trait kept him from advancing beyond the rank of Captain, for his superiors were looking for men they could bend to their wills. His only known vice was an occasion smoke of tabacc, enjoyed through a carved bantha-bone pipe. Orr sought to advance in his position by wiping out all smuggling in the system, and was focused on capturing Shamus Falconi. This is something that Orr uncharacteristically was unable to do. (SWJ9)
Orrimaarko

an Alliance operative used heavily during the early years of the Galactic Civil War, Jan Ors was eventually captured by the Empire when her cover was blown. Imprisoned without hope, she found an ear to bend when she met Kyle Katarn. Realizing Kyle's ambivalence toward the Empire, she cultivated a relationship with him until he agreed to help her escape from the prison. When they finally escaped, Jan Ors met with Mon Mothma and persuaded the Alliance leader to hire Kyle Katarn as a mercenary and commando. Shortly thereafter, Jan was captured by Jabba the Hutt and held as a bargaining chip against the Alliance, until she was again rescued by Kyle Katarn. She became one of the few people Kyle trusted, and was also one of the few people he could count on to help him get out of sticky situations. (DF, DF2)

Orto
primary planet in the Orto system, it is a cold world orbitting a red dwarf star. It is the homeworld of the Ortolan race. Water is plentiful on Orto, but most of it is locked in polar icecaps. The only arable land is located along the planet's equator. When scientists found a huge crated buried under the northern polar ice cap, they built a theory that the planet had been hit eons ago by a large body. This impact caused the planet to undergo numerous ecological and physical changes: dust from the collision clogging the atmosphere, the impact knocking the planet out of its original orbit, and the force of the impact creating a new axial tilt. Thus, Orto is the inhospitable planet it is today, although its thin atmosphere is rich in oxygen. The average day on Orto lasts about 24 standard hours, and is years lasts 589 local days. (GG4)
Ortola, Tresk
a student of the Imperial Academy, Tresk and a group of friends jumped ship to join the Alliance.

Ortolan
this is a race of blue-furred, elephantine bipeds native to the planet Orto. They have floppy ears and pudgy fingers, and are known for their insatiable appetites. They are descended from a nocturnal race of creatures, and retain many of their original characteristics. Their eyesight is excellent in dim light, but bright lights hurt them. Their ears are sensitive to sound waves, and their noses are filled with tympanic organs that increase their sense of hearing. The normal mode of conversation among the Ortolans is conducted at subsonic levels, with sounds being emitted through their noses. Their noses also contain sensitive olfactory organs. A small mouth is located beneath their nose. In the distant past, after Orto was struck by a large mass, the Ortolan race was much smaller. They managed to survive the devastation because they ate very little, while the larger predators starved to death. Over time, their brains continued to develop, and they developed a basic technology and a high level of industrialization. (ROTJ, GG4)
Ortugg
this Gamorrean was the Captain of Jabba the Hutt's personal guard at his palace in the desert of Tatooine. In addition to his duty of guarding the main entrance to the palace, Jabba had assigned Ortugg to key an eye on Tessek. When Luke Skywalker first entered Jabba’s palace, Ortugg tried to stop him. Luke used the Force to choke the Gamorrean, holding him at bay until he reached Jabba’s audience chamber. (TJP, CCG7)

Oseon
primary star in the Oseon system. (LCM)
Oseon System
a system of seven bands of asteroids orbiting the star Oseon. They are primarily vacation sites and pleasure spots for the filthy rich of the galaxy. It is also the home to a huge population of mynocks, and any ships travelling through the system are well-advised to protect their ships from the parasites. The system's primary star flares up in a spectacular display, known as the Flamewind, once a year. A major influx of tourists is seen during the Flamewind. The asteroids within the system are numbered with four-digit names. The first number represents which band the asteroid is in; the other three are just counters. (LCM, LCF)
Oseon 2795
a small asteroid in the Oseon system, it is one of the closer asteroids to the star Oseon. It is therefore very hot, and must be carefully maintained in terms of its life support systems and its air coolers. Its primary commerce is centered around a mining operation, rather than the usual pleasure specialties of other planetoids in the system. Lando Calrissian stopped there shortly after winning the Millennium Falcon in a sabacc match, due mainly to his poor navigational skills. He had been trying to reach the Dela system. (LCM)
Oseon 5792
the personal asteroid owned by Bohhuah Mutdah, 5792 has been specially modified to Mutdah's needs. The disk-shaped asteroid - 15 kilometers at its widest, 3 kilometers are its smallest - has been topped with a domed version of paradise. Multiple transparent covers house living spaces and vast gardens. The underside of the asteroid was built up to form a vast spaceport which is heavily armed and guarded. The gravity on the asteroid has to be specially modified to allow Mutdah to move his vast bulk with little effort. The asteroid is destroyed just after Rokur Gepta kills Butdah and takes his place, in an effort to kill Lando Calrissian. Lando escapes, but is beseiged by Shanga's fighters. One of the fighters takes a hit and crashes into one of the top-side domes, breeching it and setting off a destructive chain reaction in the asteroid's systems. (LCF)
Oseon 6845
the largest asteroid in the Oseon system, it is one of the most luxurious of all the Oseon asteroids. It is home to the famous Esplanade. When Lando Calrissian leaves the Rafa System with what was the last cargo of life crystals ever exported, he returned to the Oseon System - and Oseon 6845 in particular - to try and win some big money. He had found that the vast wealth he obtained from the life crystals quickly got sucked away in maintaining the Millennium Falcon. Oseon 6845 has been artificially accelerated to reduce its daily cycle to 25 hours, closer to the galactic standard. (LCF)
Oseoni
any native of the Oseon system. (LCF)
OSETS 2711
OSETS stands for Orbtal Solar Energy Transfer Satellite, which is one of the many solar heat collectors used to focus sunlight onto the surface of Coruscant. These collectors provide heat to the moderately cold world, and also serve to melt the polar icecaps for water. OSETS 2711 was commandeered by Rogue Sqaudron and Winter, as part of their last-minute plans to knock out the planet's shields in preparation for a New Republic assault. They caused OSETS 2711 to heat a water resevoir to boiling, creating a huge series of thunderstorms that knocked out the planet's computer systems, bringing the shields down. OSETS 2711 was under the command of Virar Needa at the time. (WG)

Oss Willum
a thin humanoid Vultan apprenticed to Jedi Master Thon, just before the Great Sith War. His skin has a yellowish tint to it, and he has convoluted skin folds instead of hair on his head. He had been training with Master Thon for five years prior to two interrelated events: the arrival of Tott Doneeta to Ambria, and Thon's apprenticeship of Nomi Sunrider. Oss was assigned to Tott's team that included Ulic Qel-Droma and his brother Cay, which went to Onderon. Oss Willum, along with Crado and a group of about twenty yong Jedi, were seduced by Exar Kun into joining him on Yavin 4. There, Kun destroyed the Sith holocron he stole from Odan-Urr, releasing the Sith magic in the shards that exploded from it. The shards caught the young Jedi, including Oss Willum, and they were temporarily possessed by ancient Sith spirits. Oss Willum and Crado were charged with the destruction of Master Thon, on Ambria, and plotted to use the Dark Side beasts of Lake Natth to do the dirty work for them. Thon, with the help of Nomi Sunrider and Sylvar, defeated the beasts and attempted to take the two renegades captive. Crado was able to escape, but Oss Willum was taken. He eventually was brought out of the Sith spell. (TOJ, TSW)

the Bakuran Admiral, in charge of the Bakuran Navy, about the time of the Corellian uprisings. He is a small, slightly-built man with a bald, pink head highlighted by huge, bushy eyebrows and a sharp goatee beard. He has a quick intellect, and a suspicious nature. He was mortally wounded aboard the Intruder when the ship was rammed by three Saccorian droneships. He sustained a grievous wound to the stomach, but stayed in command long enough for Admiral Ackbar to arrive. Then, he detonated the Intruder in the midst of the Saccorian fleet. (AS, SC)
Osskum Ale
an alcoholic beverage. (ROM)
Ossus
third planet in the Adega system, Ossus was home to the site of an ancient Jedi stronghold and training center thousands of years before the Freedon Nadd Uprisings and the Great Sith War. Following the Freedon Nadd Uprisings on Onderon, Jedi Master Arca planned to send the ancient Sith artifacts recovered from Freedon Nadd's ship there for examination, but Exar Kun was able to retrieve them first. In the chaos surrounding the Great Sith War, Aleema and Crado destroyed the Cron System, loctaed near the Adega System. Ossus was caught in the wave of destruction radiating from the supernova. The Jedi attempted to transport the artifacts and lore from the libraries there, but were only able to take a fraction of the wealth stored there over the millennia. In an attempt to preserve a cache of lightsabers, Master Ood Bnar initiated his lifecycle change, becoming a gnarled old tree with the lightsabers engtangled in his roots. He was nearly destroyed by the radiation from the Cron System.
Over the ages, great cities grew out of the planet's rough, irradiated terrain. In modern times, the planet was nearly wiped out during the Clone Wars. The enemies of the Jedi Knights struck there, attempting to destroy the stronghold and root out the Jedi. Although the planet was devastated, the Jedi survived. Later, following the death of Emperor Palpatine's first clone on Byss, Luke Skywalker and Kam Solusar discover the planet's ancient Jedi connection, and are directed there by Master Vodo's holocron just before Sedriss executed Operation Shadow Hand. There find the Ysanna tribe and the ancient Jedi Master Ood Bnar. The planet's atmosphere is laced with electrical storms, probably resulting from the near-devastation it suffered during the Clone Wars. It orbits the Adegan stars in a figure-eight orbit. (FNU, DLS, TSW, DE1, DE2)
Osprey
an Imperial Nebulon-B2 modified frigate which assisted the Harpax in capturing Admiral Harkov's fleet. (TIE)
Ostrine
found on the planert Hargeeva, this mineral had many unique properties. The chief property was that ostrine could absorb heat like a sponge. This made it a valuable mineral for the production of armor plating for stormtroopers and soldiers. Ketrian Altronel discovered a method of crystalline manipulation and plas-bonding of certain trace elements that modified raw ostrine into a heat-absorbing material unlike anything else in the galaxy. Its natural absorption properties were multiplied ten-fold. Major Nial Pedrin took the formula for use by the Empire, and hoped to bring Ketrian to Coruscant for more research. However, she defected while en route to an Imperial facility, and used the formula to improve the firepower of X-Wings by adding ostrine to the housings of their laser cannons. (SWJ8)
Ossus Day
an Alliance Mon Calamari Cruiser operative during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)
Osuno Whett
an alien Lando Calrissian meets on Oseon 2795, Osuno is a tall, gray-skinned humanoid with a high-pitched voice and an inability to make a decision. He did, however, have very definite goals of conquest and power, and his image of himself was bolstered when he underwent surgery to have bonemer implanted in his legs, arms, shoulders, and spine to increase his size. A native of the Lekua System, Whett was a renowned scholar there, earning the title of Offdeta there before becoming an Associate Professor of Comparative Sapient Studies. He was assisted by the droid Vuffi Raa, who was sent to Whett by Rokur Gepta. Together they discovered the Renatasian System and its primitive human inhabitants. Whett saw the Renatasians as simple, ignorant people, and he planned to use them to further his own ambitions. He worked for 700 days with Vuffi Raa, who the Renatasians regarded as a deity, keeping a low profile as Vuffi Raa's assistant while arranging an invasion of the system by an Imperial fleet. The Renatasians blamed Vuffi Raa for the invasio, and Whett fled with the droid. Whett then found work as a research anthropologist working for Duttes Mer in the Rafa System before coming to the Oseon, where he did some research on the Sharu. Little did Whett know that Mer was working with the Tund Sorcerer Rokur Gepta to locate the Mindharp and use it to control the system. They used Whett to help them locate all the various Sharu legends, and then sent him to the Oseon System to seek out all possible candidates who fit the description of the Bearer. When Whett encountered Lando Calrissian, he tricked Lando into winning the droid Vuffi Raa, who was being held on Rafa IV as a stand-in for the Emissary of Sharu legend. Whett was further pulled into Gepta's web following Lando's recovery of the Mindharp. Whett was commissioned by Gepta to study the Oswaft, and determine who they could best be used to further Gepta's plans for power. Whett tried to secretly determine what kind of creature Gepta was, but was unable to so, because his role in the destruction of the Renatasian invasion was discovered by Klyn Shanga. Shanga turned his forces loose on Whett's tiny ship, which was connected to Shanga's battleship pinnace by a tractor beam. Shanga used the beam to maneuver Whett's ship into a side collision with the Wennis, vaporizing Whett and his ship while destroying the Wennis and her crew. (LCM, LCS)
Oswaft
a race of huge, manta-ray-like aliens that evolved in the vacuum of space, the Oswaft grew in the region of space known as the ThonBoka, or StarCave. They evolved over the eons into space grazers, filtering the various elements that float in the vacuum. They are powerful, winged creatures which have a multitude of fleshy tendrils streaming from their undersides, which allow them to manipulate objects. Normal adults have been known to reach lengths of 750 meters or more, while the Elders can grow to 1,000 meters. They have strange, transparent flesh, inside which can be seen the colors and sparks of chemical reactions. When they die, their flesh becomes opaque, and eventually decomposes into its molecular components. They can communicate across vast distances almost instantly, and have developed a way to enter hyperspace by themselves. This allows them to travel anywhere in an instant, although the nature of the Oswaft is to stay at home in the StarCave, avoiding the dangers of what they call the Open Sea of space. They are incredibly intelligent, but have only gained knowledge within the confines of the StarCave. They are thusly unimaginative, but have incredibly long lifespans steeped in conservative traditions. They have the ability to sythesize complex molecular structures, provided that they have the raw atomic material to start with. The Oswaft society is ruled by a group of Elders, and was believed to have numbered in the billions, just inside the ThonBoka. When the Empire learns of the existence of the Oswaft, they believe that the huge creatures are a threat to their galaxy, and blockade the mouth of the nebula. They regularly issue poisonous discharges, killing the pre-organic motes that float into the ThonBoka and provide sustanence to the lifeforms inside. Lando Calrissian talks the Oswaft into fighing for the ThonBoka, and together they break the blockade. (LCS)

Otherspace
this is a vast expanse of dead, lifeless worlds floating in a dark gray nothingness. It is known to a small group of deep-space explorers, as well as anyone who knows of the Charon race. Otherspace is dominated by clouds of energy which swirl and swarm around starships, causing problems with navigational and communications systems. Stars in Otherspace appear as black holes, and their planets have been scoured by the Charon and their death cult. Most starships which suffer hyperdrive malfunctions while traveling through hyperspace get deposited into otherspace, where they wander aimlessly, unable to maintain their shipboard systems and unable to resist the Charon.

Outbound Flight Project
Outbound Flight was a
project financed by the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights, whose goal was to search out and catalog life outside the galaxy. A secondary goal was to discover other races which were sensitive to the Force. It was launched from Yaga Minor, just prior to the Clone Wars (although early in Dark Force Rising, Zahn has it 47 years before the Clone Wars!). The main group of explorers was led by six Jedi Masters, including Jorus C'baoth. A short, shakedown trip was arranged for them through the Unknown Regions, where they ran into the Chiss. Then Senator Palpatine, realizing that the Jedi Knights needed to be exterminated in order for him to realize his goals, assigned a huge, fifteen-ship task force to intercept and destroy the mission, along with its six Jedi Masters. They met up with Thrawn, who was in command of the Chiss Expansionary Defense, and he wiped out all the ships save one. This one was allowed to return to the Republic with news of their defeat. Among the survivors was Kinman Doriana, who convinced Thrawn of the necessity for eliminating the Outbound Flight Project. Thrawn agreed to help, and wiped out the Jedi when they arrived. This was the first of many actions that led to Thrawn being exiled from his poeple. Following the loss of the Jedi Masters, whose exact consequences were withheld by Palpatine, the Outbound Flight Project was abandoned. (HTTE, DFR, BW, VOF)Outer Distance

Owen’s demeanor is one of controlled force, and he is an intimidating individual to most people. He is a model Imperial officer, and served on several Victory-class Star Destroyers before advancing to the position of Rayter Sector Moff. When the Farool Brothers approached him with a plan to discredit the Alliance, he grudgingly supported it. He allowed them to capture Crying Dawn Singer, but when Nak Farool issued a holotransmission stating that Owen was unsympathetic and couldn’t assist in rescuing the Shashay, Owen became furious. He executed Nak Farool on the spot, and commanded Jonnas Perrsta to contain the Shashay. When the Alliance stepped in to rescue Crying Dawn Singer, Owen ordered the Impending Doom to cut them off. Neither objective was met, and Owen carried a deep-seated grudge for the Alliance and its agents from that point on. (TA)

Ozzel
an Imperial Navy Admiral, it was rumored that Ozzel gained his position because his family had close ties to the Imperial Navy. It was Ozzel who presided over the dishonorable discharge of Han Solo, after the young cadet ignored his superior officer’s orders and freed a Wookiee slave. He was given the command of the Star Destroyer Executor, which allowed the Imperial Naval Staff to keep an eye on Vader while he hunted down the Alliance. Ozzel was placed in charge of the fleet that attacked Hoth, and brought the fleet out of lightspeed just outside the Hoth System. He felt that the surprise arrival of the fleet would shock the Alliance. Instead, the presence of the fleet was quickly noted by the Alliance, which gave them time to prepare their escape. Ozzel was killed by Vader for his failure to cleanly cpature the Hoth base. Ozzel was portrayed by Michael Sheard in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, and by Peter Michael Goetz for the The Empire Strikes Back Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (ESB, ESBR, MTS, THG)
