C-3PO (See-Threepio)

this protocol droid was built from spare parts by the nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker. The droid’s presence was a secret, as Anakin didn’t want him taken away by his master, Watto. The number 3 in the droid’s name was Anakin’s attempt to indicate that the droid would be the third member of his family, beside himself and his mother. According to A Guide to the Star Wars Universe, C-3PO was activated around 95 PE. By the time Anakin was freed from slavery by Qui-Gon Jinn, C-3PO was nearly completed. All he lacked was an outer skin and minor modifications. Eventually, C-3PO was given a gold outer skin, and was reunited with the astromech droid named R2-D2 some years before the Battle of Yavin. The two had many adventures avoiding Olag Greck in the Kalarba System. C-3PO was the victim of tampering by Movo Brattakin, who inserted an initiative submodule in his leg to help expose Greck and Jace Forno on Boonda the Hutt's moon. After these adventures, C-3PO was eventually assigned to use in the Imperial Senate, translating the proceedings for a number of alien ambassadors. It was during this time that he became "friends" with R2-D2, one of the Navy's astromech droids. Even though they had separate functions and programming, they maintained their version of friendship. Note that, despite what the Droids comics say about their meeting, the Star Wars Radio Drama infers that C-3PO nad R2-D2 didn't meet until C-3PO was assigned as R2-D2's translator during routine labor assigning on the Tantive IV. When the Senator Palpatine began to gain his power, the growing Alliance took Threepio under their domain and assigned him to mediate the various agreements between the Alliance and alien worlds. One such mission led him onto the Tantive IV, where he was tagging along with R2-D2 one too many times. When Artoo escaped from the ship in an escape pod, Threepio followed him, fearing that the Empire would only melt him down. Since then, he has been owned by Luke Skywalker following his auction at the hands of one of Tatooine's roving Jawa clans. Luke is C-3PO's 43rd master, having been owned by diplomats and starshipwrights before then. He has helped Luke whenever possible, and has also maintained his friendship with Artoo, although (just like old friends) they constantly bicker at each other. The novel The New Republic states that C-3PO was three models out of date, some seventeen years after the Battle of Endor. This is unusual, given that C-3PO is well over 120 years old at the time. C-3PO was portrayed by Anthony Daniels in all three Star Wars films as well as for both Star Wars radio dramas on National Public Radio. (SW, SWR, ESB, ESBR, ROTJ, SGL, DRO, TNR, SW1)

C-3PX

a psychotic 3PO-series droid created by Olag Greck, this droid was programmed to be an assassin. C-3PX evaded capture for a while, until it returned to Hosk Station. There, it was involved in a series of strange events when C-3PO's cranium was patched with an X-shaped marking. Both droids were taken for the assassin droid, and both ended up in Olag Greck's gladiator droid arena facing R2-D2. C-3PO survived, but C-3PX was destroyed by the power mallet mounted on R2-D2's Mandalorian battle armor. C-3PX had stun weapons and lasers built into its arms, and had a unique laser weapon built into the back of its head. (DRO)

C-5MO

this silver protocol droid served as the operator of a droid shop on the planet Bastion. Han Solo, Lobot, and Lando Calrissian ducked into C-5MO's store while they were being pursued by Imperial forces, hoping to break the contact the Imperials had with Lobot's impant and Moegid. They got a number of R8 astromech droids to communicate on Imperial search frequencies, blocking Lobot's link and allowing them to return to the Lady Luck. (VOF)

C-9PO

this new-model protocol droid was purchased and modified by Brakiss for use at his manufacturing facility on Telti. (TNR)

C-9979

this was the model number of Hoar Chall Engineering’s landing craft. Built for the Neimoidians who controlled the Trade Federation, the C-9979 resembled a huge letter I when viewed from above. The four lobes of the craft held the various components of a Federation invasion force: 11 MTT transports, 114 AAT battle tanks, 28 droid troop transports, and the complete compliment of battle droids needed to control these smaller ships. The C-9979 required a crew of 88, and the Neimoidians used droids for all crew positions. The transport were deployed from the lobes by a complex system of tracks and lifts that channel them through the central section, which hangs down below the I-shaped wings. Complete deployment of all forces takes about 45 minutes. The overall wingspan of the C-9979 is 340 meters. It is lightly armed, with a pair of laser cannons mounted on the forward wingtips and four turret-mounted laser cannons spread around the main section. It lacks a hyperdrive, being purely a landing craft, but has a maximum atmospheric speed of 587 kph. (X1)

C’aama’

this was the Morishi name for the planet Caamas. (SOP)

C'baoth, Jorus

a Jedi Master lost with the Outbound Flight team, Jorus was born on the planet Bortras. He graduated from Mirnic University, and attended the Jedi Training center on Kamparas before coming under the tutelage of an unknown Jedi Master. After a total of four years of training, Jorus was eleveted to the rank of Jedi Knight. Twelve years later, he became a Jedi Master. He served the Old Republic in a number of ways, most notably as a negotiator and mediator for many of the galaxy's racial conflicts. When Palpatine readied himself to usurp the galactic throne, he had Jorus cloned shortly before the launch of the Outbound Flight Project. Jorus and the other five Jedi Masters on the Project were killed when their ship was attacked by Thrawn, at the order of Palpatine himself. A clone was eventually created, but it was on of Palpatine's first attempts to bring a clone to maturity faster than a full year. Thus, C'baoth's clone was unstable. It did, however, retain its use of the Force, and Palpatine trained it in the use of the Dark Side of the Force. (HTTE, DFR)

C'baoth, Joruus

Jorus C'baoth's unstable clone, grown by Palpatine too fast in an attempt to obtain a new Dark Jedi Master. Joruus was unstable enough to have killed the last Dark Jedi on an unspecified planet. He was later assigned by Palpatine to guard the Mount Tantiss installation on Wayland. Joruus claims to have killed the Guardian of Wayland, and he has routinely slaughtered the inhabitants as well as visitors to Wayland in order to secure his position. Joruus was pulled into Imperial service by Grand Admiral Thrawn, who sought C'baoth's help in creating a huge army of clones to serve the new Empire. Joruus had his own mad delusions of ruling the Empire, and was often at odds with Thrawn's plans. Joruus was partially successful in his quest to alter and shape the minds of the clones they were creating, but their plans fell for naught when the New Republic discovered Wayland. There, in a titanic battle in the throne room in Mount Tantiss, Joruss was killed by Mara Jade. (HTTE, DFR, TLC)

C'borp

a large, orange alien working for Finhead Stonebone, he looks like a fat, round blob with four tentacles instead of arms and legs. C'borp was the chief gunner on the Starjacker. (TOJ)

C’taunmar

this Tai’ni was a New Republic armed forces General, and was in command of the starfighter base on Di’tai’ni during the conflicts that arose after the revelation of the Caamas Document. C'taunmar was later in command of the A-Wing squadrons assigned to Garm Bel Iblis aboard the Errant Venture, during the raid on Yaga Minor. (SOP, VOF)

Caamas

this planet was one of the first worlds completely destroyed by the Empire. The event happened before the Death Star was created; in fact, the royal library on Alderaan contained a great deal of information on the attack that burned every living thing off its surface. However, it was attacked in the early days of the New Order, and never became the focal point that Alderaan did. The destruction remained a mystery, though, because Caamas was protected by a strong planetary shield. No one discovered how the shield was dropped until some ten years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Several datacards found near Mount Tantiss, on Wayland, implicated a group of Bothans in the attack, directly stating that they helped bring the shields down. The records of the actual Bothan clans involved were destroyed. The planet was wracked by intense firestorms for several years after the attack, which wiped out any living thing that might have survived the initial attack. (SOP)

Caamas Document

this was the name given to the datacard recovered from Mount Tantiss by Lak Jit, and which contained information which linked the Bothans to the destruction of Caamas. The datacard described how a group of Bothans were responsible for bringing down the planetary shields that protected Caamas, but the sections which named the Bothans was destroyed. Grodin Tierce managed to alter every copy the Empire had in its libraries, placing the names of many prominent Bothan clans in place of the true identities. Han Solo and Lando Calrissian were given an altered copy by Flim, who was posing as Grand Admiral Thrawn. Garm Bel Iblis and Booster Terrik mounted an assault on Yaga Minor's Ubiqtorate base to locate a copy at the same time Admiral Pellaeon allowed Ghent to obtain it from the Ubiqtorate's computers. The only unadulterated copy the New Republic managed to find was recovered by Shada D'ukal and Talon Karrde, from the library of Jorj Car'das. (SOP, VOF)

Caamas Incident

this term took on two meanings about fifteen years after the Battle of Endor. First and foremost, it referred to the destruction of the planet Caamas during Emperor Palpatine’s early days in power. Second, it came to describe the reaction within the New Republic to information which implicated the Bothans in the attack on Caamas. Because Bothans had been instrumental in the formation of the New Republic, many of the member races were outraged when immediate reparations weren’t made after the information was discovered. The Caamas Incident served to bring to the forefront several long-standing feuds between member races, including that of the Ishori and Diamala. These squabbles quickly spread to other races, and ignited a series of battles that the New Republic seemed powerless to put down. The remnants of the Empire, under Moff Disra, used the Incident to their advantage. They placed specialized riot groups throughout the galaxy, fomenting the suppressed alien grudges and bringing chaos to the Republic. (SOP)

Caamasi

this peaceful race was native to the planet Caamas. Strong supporters of the Old Republic, the Caamasi calm wisdom and steadfast loyalty helped keep the Republic from completely disintegrating during its final years. There were several thousand Caamasi off-world when the Empire attacked and destroyed the planet, leaving it a barren wasteland. They were powerless to protest the attack, given that it occurred during the early years of Emperor Palpatine’s rule. Some of the survivors tried to establish a colonyon Alderaan’s South Islands, hoping to someday rebuild their world. As a race, the Caamasi were covered in a golden, downy fur, highlighted on their faces by purple stripes. Their most striking feature was their blue-on-green eyes. (SOP, IJ, VOF)

Caamasi Remnant

this is the name given to the various communities of dishomed Caamasi which dot the galaxy. (IJ)

Caaraz

this tide-locked planet is geologically active. Both the frozen night-side and the baked day-side undergo regular tectonic movement, allowing subterranean gases, lava, and steam escape into the atmosphere. Along the terminator line between the night and day sides, this creates a thin habitable region, and it is here that the Ranth race evolved. However, very little other life has managed to survive of Caaraz, as it is continually destroyed. The planet was discovered by Imperial scouts. Two moons help provide illumination to the night-side of the planet. (GG12)

Cabal, The

this group was formed by the dreamer and prophet Deamos Na-Coth to search the outermost reaches of the galaxy for the legendary planet Exo. The used huge colony ships to travel across space at a time when hyperspace travel was still dangerous, and many colony ships were lost because of pirates, ion storms, mutinies, and hyperdrive malfunctions. One of the Cabal's ships, the Exocros Cabal, discovered the planet Exocron. (KO)

However, Nuum was slowly going insane, but no one in his household had the nerve to kill him. His treacherous children tried to overthrow the deal and kill Nuum as well as Jabba the Hutt, in an effort to gain notoriety. Jabba smothered Cabrool, with the help of some of Nuum's guards, elevating his son, Rusk, to the head of his organization. (JTH)

Caerbellak

this Imperial Moff was one of the most dangerous Imperials to survive the Battle of Endor and the fall of the Empire. He firmly believed he could bring about the downfall of the New Republic and restore the New Order to the galaxy. He began working toward this goal by removing any Republic support from his base sector, starting on the capital world of Rydonni Prime. He employed Rythani Products much the same way Palpatine did, contracting out military manufacturing and research. Caerbellak was a man who was equally adept at shady politics and military offensives, and had no qualms about using either when the need arose. He saw a chance to gain a great deal of power when Rythani began work on a prototype weapon that would help him wipe out supporters of the Republic. When the monarch of Rydonni Prime got in his way, Caerbellak fostered a relationship with his daughter, Kalieva K’ntarr. When Sienn Sconn tried to steal the prototype, Caerbellak allowed the theft to occur just as he killed the Rydonni king. With the help of Kalieva, Caerbellak became the de facto executive of Rythani Products as well as the consort of the ruler of Rydonni Prime. The prototype found its way to the New Republic, and using hidden transmitters, Caerbellak began marking New Republic outposts and research centers for destruction. (SWJ9)

Caet Shrovl

this female Shistavenan Wolfman was an albino, and was one of the pilots in Rock Squadron, serving the Kuiumin Survivors. She served as Rock Ten during the attack on the Galaxy Chance. Her albino coloration meant that she was extremely sensitive to light, and had to fully cover herself to walk around during the day. She considered her albinism the fault of the Empire, for they had experimented on her mother. She joined the Survivors because of their hatred for the Empire. Because of her self-imposed isolation, she was an easy target for Remart Sasyru, who beat her badly before being shipped to Bolt Squadron. She was one of the first Invids to test on the Tri-fighters Corran had equipped with hyperdrives, and she used this training to flee Courkrus when Corran, disguised as an "avenging Jedi," began terrorizing the pirate groups.

this highly charismatic Alliance supporter led much of the resistance in the Minos Cluster during the Galactic Civil War. Cairnwick was training to become a Jedi Knight when the Empire took control of the galaxy. He hid on his homeworld of Adarlon, where he told his neighbors about the atrocities the Empire was committing. This incited the natives of Adarlon to rebel against Imperial control, and brought a group of stormtroopers down on his headquarters. Cairnwick had fled before they arrived, and managed to remain in hiding a few more years before he was eventually captured. He was arrested shortly after the Battle of Yavin, but still managed to rally support for the Alliance on the prison world Gesaril. He managed to rescue a group of Alliance POWs before stormtroopers could discover what had happened and seal the prison. (GG6)

Calamari

an ocean-covered world with little solid land mass, Calamari is home to two amphibious races: the land-dwelling Mon Calamari and the ocean-dwelling Quarren. It is a tectonically stable world, without mountains. The planet is covered with deep oceans, with many islands and coral atolls. Much of the exposed land is marshy, and incapable of supporting any kind of civilization. Thus, the two native species turned to building floating cities from the ores mined from the ocean floor. Some parts of the cities are exposed above the ocean's surface, but the majority of the space in Calamari cities is underwater. It is famous for its shipyards. It has a single moon. Its day lasts about 21 standard hours, and its year spans 398 local days. (ROTJ, DE1, SWSB, GG4, DA, COTF, DESB)

Callista

a Jedi Knight from Chad III, she grew up with her family on an ocean ranch, migrating on the Algic Current with the herds of tsaelke. When she accepted the assignement to intercept and disable the Eye of Palpatine, she and her lover, Geith, were unable to completely eliminate the threat of the ship. So, Callista decided to stay behind and try to disable the ship while Geith returned to get more help. When Geith was killed during his escape attempt, Callista sacrificed her physical body and left her Force-aura in the ship's automated firing computer.

When Luke Skywalker, Cray Mingla, and Nichos Marr rediscovered the Eye, Callista fired on them, thinking that they were Imperial troops come to recover the ship. Then, Irek activated the ship's remote controls, re-initiatiing its original mission. Callista was unable to determine the causes, but she was able to sense Luke's string Force-presence when he was brought on board. She helped him rescue Cray and Nichos, but refused Luke's attempts to store her consciousness in a computer. However, when Cray decided to stay behind and detonate the ship, she gave Callista her own physical body. Callista escaped the Eye, but she could not longer touch the Force. So, while she loved Luke, she felt that they could not be together forever. The two tried everything they could think of to help her regain her Force sensitivity, but she only succeeded in finding the Dark Side. She vowed that, if the Dark Side was all she could touch, then she wanted nothing to do with the Force. This opened a rift between herself and Luke, which widened with each failure. When the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 was attacked by Admiral Daala's fleet, Callista took matters into her own hands, and set out to strike a blow against the Empire, even without the abilities of the Force. She commandeered a TIE Bomber and landed on the Knight Hammer, quickly sabotaging the ship's complement of TIE Bombers to detonate their payloads and rip out the Super-class Star Destroyer's engines. She then went to confront Daala, allowing the Dark Side to wash over her as she tried to kill Daala. Daala succeeded in stunning Callista, while the Knight Hammer plunged into the core of Yavin. Callista was not killed when the ship exploded, however. She recovered, and escaped in one of the command-level emergency pods. She fled the New Republic and Luke, setting out to break through the barrier of the Dark Side in order to recover her powers. She felt that she needed to do this herself, and sent a final message to Luke, asking him to understand.

Her travels led her to Nam Chorios, where she was drawn into the web of Taselda and Beldorion the Hutt. She tried to learn about the Force from both former Jedi, but was unable to truly regain her power. Taselda enslaved her with the promise of returned strength, using Callista to strike at Beldorion. After escaping the old woman, Callista realized that she was trying too hard to restore her Force sensitivity. She felt that this would lead herto the Dark Side, so she allowed herself to become Beldorion’s slave as well. This fear - the fear of falling into the Dark Side completely - was what kept Callista from rejoining Luke. She came to understand the strange relationship between the Force in the Spooks and the Therans, and joined one of their troops in working to keep the drochs from leaving the planet. It was Callista who re-initiated Leia Organa-Solo’s lightsber training, while they were spending time in a Theran camp. After the defeat of Dzym and Seti Ashgad, Callista again fled Luke, joining Umolly Darm and Be’ as rock ivory hunters until she found her way in the Force. (COJ, DS, POT)

Calrissian, Lando

Lando Calrissian is a dark-skinned, human male from an undisclosed world. Born during the later years of the Old Republic, Lando grew into a gambler and con-artiste, smoking cigars and learning how to play sabacc and win regularly. Never one to stay in any single place too long, Lando made more friends than enemies in his early years roaming the galaxy. Ever the gambler, Lando considered himself the Commander of Staves, a sabacc card that often showed up in the fortunes told about him with the sabacc deck. When a perfect hand of sabacc won him ownership of the Millennium Falcon, Lando's life took a strange turn. He ran into Han Solo on Nar Shaddaa, rescuing the young man from Boba Fett. Lando was never much of a pilot, and allowed Han to teach him the basics. However, following the Battle of Nar Shaddaa, Lando’s first flight went off-course, bringing him to the Oseon System. A few games of sabacc later, Lando had won the strange droid Vuffi Raa, and was launched into a series of adventures. As was par for the course, Lando made a few more enemies during this time, the greatest of which was the Tund Sorcerer Rokur Gepta. Gepta pursued Lando across the galaxy after Lando loosed the Mindharp of the Sharu from its hiding place; Gepta wanted the artifact for himself. After getting stuck in one of the Oseon's Flamewinds, Gepta nearly killed Lando in an elaborate plot.

By this time, Lando was beginning to feel his own mortality, and when he and Vuffi Raa encountered the Oswaft, he sympathized for them enough to try and run the Imperial blockade of their home and bring them food. Gepta again nearly killed Lando at the ThonBoka, but Lando was able to overcome the Sorcerer and eliminate him.

After this, Lando began honing his business skills, and he used the Millennium Falcon to start a small transport operation. It was during this time that a young smuggler named Han Solo beat him at sabacc. Lando had offered up Han's pick of the starships in Lando's personal fleet, hoping that Han would pick one of the shiny new ships over the battered Falcon. Han's nose for starships led him to choose the old freighter, and Lando was left to his newer, less friendly ships. Using his nose for business, Lando learned of the tibanna gas mines near Bespin, and set out to see them for himself. He ended up winning Cloud City in a sabacc match, and his growing business acumen allowed him to turn the mining outpost into a profitable operation. However, when Boba Fett later traced the Millennium Falconback to Cloud City, Lando's string of hard-luck business ventures began. Darth Vader commandeers Cloud City in order to capture Luke Skywalker and Lando was forced to evacuate the outpost.

After seeing Han Solo frozen in carbonite and Cloud City overrun by stormtroopers, Lando signed up with the Alliance, and became one of the Alliance's best generals, leading a number of missions to success, including the bombing run on the second Death Star orbitting over the forest moon of Endor. Following the destruction of that Death Star and the fall of the Empire, Lando returned to Cloud City, but was unable to make the operation profitable. Using a set of plans and ideas he borrowed from Cloud City's founder, Ecclessis Figg, Lando started The Nomad City mining operation on Nkllon. In another stroke of bad luck, Grand Admiral Thrawn first stole most of his mole miners, then disabled the mobile city in a strafing run. Lando was forced to abandon the mining operation before Nkllon's intense primary star fried it to ashes.

After assisting the New Republic in the defeat of Thrawn, Lando tried his best to win the heart of Mara Jade. He succeeded only in gaining her as a business partner, as the two joined their collective resources to try and re-establish the spice mines of Kessel as a legal operation. This failed, as the galaxy no longer felt the need to indulge in artificial pleasures. Down on his luck, Lando set up camp on the planet Coruscant, and began working on Dometown, an underground city that was not too affluent but could cater to the upper-middle class. He only needed financial support, and devised a plan where he would marry a rich woman who could support his monetary needs while turning a profit with him. He was temporarily thwarted in this endeavor by the secession of the Corellian Sector from the New Republic, as his prospective bride was a native of a Corellian planet.

Lando Calrissian was portrayed by Billy Dee Williams in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, as well as for the The Empire Strikes Back Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (ESB, EROTJ, HTTE, DFR, COTF, AC, THG)

Canyon

this world was known as a mining outpost that produced ores needed in the construction of starships and electronic systems. It was discovered by accident when a Victory-class Star Destroyer was dragged out of hyperspace in its vicinity by a rogue asteroid. The warship was grazed by the asteroid and damaged, but the only ships close enough to hear its distress signal were part of a pirate fleet. An Imperial rescue operation was mounted, and basically left the pirates alone. They recognized Canyon’s natural resources, and set up the small mining operation. The pirates, led by Guldus Bemm, continued to control the world well after the Battle of Endor. The planet is an arid world of mountains and plains, which has an average day of 28 standard hours. Its year encompasses 389 local days. (SWJ8)

Canyon Mining Facility

this was the ore and mineral extraction operation established by Guldus Bemm and his pirates, after they discovered the planet Canyon while attempting to provide aid to a damaged Victory-class Star Dstroyer. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Administrator Guldus Bemm tried to capture Luke Skywalker by claiming that the miners discovered a strange, crystalline mineral in the mines, and called for Luke Skywalker to come and see them, as they appeared suitable for use in lightsabers. Skywalker didn’t go personally, but the group of New Republic agents who did were captured by Bemm’s pirates. They eventually managed to escape. (SWJ8)

Canyonade

this is a vast series of hotels, shops, restaurants, and meeting areas carved into the canyons of the planet Cejansij.

Capital Season

the time between Expansion Week and Shelova Week in the Tapani Sector, Capital Season is a social event celebrated by the upper class and nobility of the sector. It is a time for them to mingle and spy on each other, and is held on the planet Procopia. Pleasure cruises are often booked from Procopia to Vycynith, but the main events take place on Procopia. To avoid Procopia during Capital Season means almost total isolation for the noble involved, which lowers their social standing and often has economic and political implications as well. Exceptions are made on an infrequent basis for people with business outside Tapani Sector, but all business inside the sector must stop or move to Procopia. (LE)

Captison, Gaeriel

a former Imperial Senator on Bakura, she is Yeorg Captison's niece. Her most striking feature is her eyes: one is grey and the other is green. Her parents were killed in the crossfire of an Imperial engagement with an Alliance team, and she vowed to become an Imperial loyalist. This, coupled with her religious concerns with the Force made her the perfect senator on the Imperial world of Bakura, until she actually meets members of the Alliance, particularly Luke Skywalker. Luke slowly opens her eyes to the atrocities of the Empire, and she also discovers that the Force is not inherently evil when Luke helps Eppie Belden overcome her forced catatonia.

Following the defeat of the Ssi-ruuk and the surrender of Imperial forces on Bakura, Gaeriel continued to work in politics, and was eventually named Prime Minister. It was during this time that her political ambitions kept her in contact with the former Imperial soldier Pter Thanas. A romantic attachment grew, and they were married 8 years after the Ssi-ruuk invasion. Together, they gave brith to a single dauhgter, Malinza, before Pter succumbed to Knowt's disease. His death followed a failed re-election bid for Gaeriel. When the New Republic asked for Bakuran aid in defending the Corellian System during the Starbuster Plot, Gaeriel was made the plenipotentiary and placed in charge of the Bakuran fleet, commanded by Hortel Ossilege. She was mortally wounded when her spine was crushed in the decisive battle near Centerpoint Station, and the flagship Intruder was rammed by three robot ramships. It was Gaeriel who pushed the detonation button on the Intruder, igniting the ship in the midst of the Saccorian fleet, just as Admiral Ackbar arrived to help. (TB, AS, SC)

Car’das, Jorj

this man was an up-and-coming smuggler when the Clone Wars broke out. Car'das realized that the galaxy was changing, and decided that the time had come for him to start his own operation. He took control of Booster Terrik's operation when Booster was sent to Kessel by Hal Horn, and created a small but successful smuggling operation, although he was small compared to what the Hutts had. About fifteen years after the Clone Wars, Car'das was commandeered by one of the Dark Jedi from Bpfassh, who killed all the crew aboard his ship and demanded passage. Car'das survived the Dark Jedi's battle with the Jedi Master Yoda on Dagobah, after receiving treatment from Yoda himself. However, somehow Car'das was changed by the encounter. He began taking his organization to higher levels, creating a small empire that was involved in a number of criminal activities but not dominant in any one of them. This allowed him to become quite rich and modestly powerful, and his organization began to rival the Hutts' outfits. He somehow seemed to know the right move in any situation, and was always outthinking his opponents. It was during this time that Car'das also began amassing a huge library of datacards, storing information away like it was free credits. Then, one day, Car'das simply got into his private yacht and disappeared. His health finally started to fail, and the new life he had been given by Yoda evaporated. Car'das travelled to Dagobah to demand that Yoda put everything right. Yoda simply took his blaster and the beckon call from his ship and flung them into the jungle, then berated Car'das for wasting the gift he had been given. He also told Car'das that he couldn't help him any further, since he was busy preparing for the arrival of Luke Skywalker. Car'das couldn't return to his group, so he fled to Exocron, where Yoda had indicated he might receive help from the Aing-Tii monks. His organization continued to thrive for several months, but the lieutenants began to discuss the need for a true leader. Rather than put it to a vote, Talon Karrde - one of Car'das' most trusted students - simply took control of the organization. The other leaders weren't happy, but the new operation flourished for the next twenty years. After the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, Karrde sent Lando Calrissian and Mara Jade to search for Car'das, a search which took seven years and ended up with Car'das somewhere on the planet Exocron. The lone clue was the beckon call Luke Skywalker had recovered on Dagobah. Later, Lando thought that Car’das held information which could help the New Republic diffuse the Caamas Incident, but Karrde refused to bring Car’das into it. During the Caamas Incident, Karrde finally realized that he had to confront Car'das; if not to confront his own fears, then to recover a copy of the Caamas Document. Car'das played an elaborate ruse on him, first appearing as a withered old man bed-ridden on the planet Exocron. Car'das' fortess was built into the side of a mountain, and Karrde was surprised at the other man's advanced age. However, Car'das had been planning this for some time - ever since he learned of Calrissian and Jade's search. Car'das used Karrde's desire to locate him as a way to draw the crimelord Rei'kas to Exocron and near the Kathol Rift. Car'das and Trey David knew Exocron couldn't stand against Rei'kas's fleet, but they also knew that the Aing-Tii monks wanted to eliminate Rei'kas. By allowing Karrde to get to Exocron, Car'das and David also gave Exocron's location to Rei'kas. However, Rei'kas' fleet was destroyed by the Aing-Tii monks when it tried to attack Exocron. This maneuvering was nearly transparent to Karrde, who realized that Car'das was more than a frail old man. He returned to Exocron and confronted Car'das again, who was no longer an aged man but a healthy man of somewhat advanced age. He also revealed the true size of his fortress, with its immense library of datacards. Within it, Car'das was unable to locate a copy of the Caamas Document. He was, however, able to dig up a wealth of information on Grodin Tierce, Moff Disra, and the conman Flim. Karrde and Shada D'ukal brought this information back to Admiral Pellaeon, after saying their goodbyes to Car'das. (SOP, IJ, VOF)

Car'ulorn

this Twi'lek restauranteer owned the Kavsrach restaurant on Corsucant. (IJ)

Carababba tabac

dried leaves of the Carababba plant for smoking (DFR)

Caraboose

a large creature native to Toola, the caraboose is a food source for the Whiphid race. It is favored slightly over the motmot in that it is easier to bring down, but a single caraboose provides much less that a motmot. The average caraboose stands about 2 meters at the shoulder, and is armed with a set of antlers that it can use to slash an attacker. (GG4, SWJ10)

Carbon Scoring

this is the by-product of blaster bolts which strike metal surfaces on starfighters and other devices. In firefights, carbon scoring builds up on metals and interferes with internal systems. (SW, GMH)

Carbon-freezing Chamber

a specialized chamber which preserves Tibanna gas for transport by freexing it inside carbonite. Lando Calrissian had one on his Cloud City mining colony. The Tibanna gas is first pumped into the chamber, and then mixed with molten carbonite. This mixture is then frozen, which traps the gas inside the block of carbonite until it is released in a reversal process. The process has often been used on living beings, as a form of torture or retribution. Darth Vader was going to use Calrissian's chamber to freeze Luke Skywalker for transport to the Emperor on Coruscant, and had Han Solo test-frozen first. If properly frozen, a living being goes into a state of hybernation until the carbonite is melted. (ESB, ROTJ)

Carbon-Ice Drive

this technology was developed by the Adarians. It is also known as the comet computer, since the system's primary components are made from supercooled, carbon-laced ice taken from comets. The Adarians use the frozen crystals of water and carbon to create the hardware and wiring used in their computer systems. The components are kept in super-cold conditions, and subtle changes in temperature are used to program the system. The Adarians have adapted their carbon-ice systems to monitor their starship systems, which are capable of hyperspace travel. The system has certain limitations, the largest of which is its size. Carbon-ice computer and hyperdrive systems can easily measure 200 meters across. Despite their limitations, carbon-ice systems are extremely powerful. (GG12)

Carbonite

a strong metal alloy used to preserve Tibanna gas and other valuable materials. Zorba The Hutt's Revenge avers that carbonite is mande from Tibanna gas at Bespin, although Dark Lords of the Sith indicates that carbonite is the chief export of the Empress Teta System. ZHR also lists carbonite as a source of fuel.

(ESB, DLS, JS, COTF)

Carbonite Constriction Net

a capture device that is shot from a specialized launcher. The net consists of a mesh of carbonite fibers attached to a number of carbonite spikes. When the net is shot at a target, the spikes deploy and spread the netting. The netting binds the target as the spikes continue at high speeds to impact a wall or other solid object behind the target. The spikes imbed themselves in the wall, drawing the net closer around the target. (DRO)

this woman was the wife of King Alarik X of Devit, and was a loyal supporter of the New Order. (TSK)

Caretaker Virus

this computer virus was unleashed by the Ithorian, Zorneth, in his efforts to save the Smilers from exploitation. The virus was targetted to infect droids. When the droids encountered a Smiler in trouble, the virus took control of their systems and forced the droids to rescue the Smiler, no matter what the cost. The virus helped Zorneth keep the secret of savorium, but it also was planned to help him infect the galaxy with savorium. Zorneth had planned to take control of the savorium-addicted galaxy, until his untimely death prevented it. (DRO)

Cargo-lifter

any utility craft used to load and unload cargo at spaceports. Older models employ mechanical claws, while newer models use tractor beams. (HSR)

Cargohopper 102

this TaggeCo vertical/short takeoff and landing crago lifter measures 5.5 meters in length. They were particularly useful in spaceports which had limited landing pad surface area. (CSA)

Carida

a large world with a greater than standard gravity and varying climate, Carida was staunchly loyal to the Empire, although it managed to pursuade the New Republic that is was undecided on the matter. Many of the original settlers left the planet because of the strong gravitational force. Some 200 years before the Galactic Civil War, the Old Republic established a military academy aimed at training armed forces. A small community grew up near the site, which grew into a full-fledged town. The tow grew to encompass an entire planetary economy which saw its heyday under the control of Furgan. The Empire controlled the planet until Kyp Durron used the Sun Crusher to destroy the system, while he was being influenced by Exar Kun. Later, Leonia Tavira twisted the event and made everyone who listen believe that Kyp had been sent to Carida under orders from the New Republic. (JS, COTF, JASB, IJ)

Carniss, Melina

once one of Jabba the Hutt's human female dancers, Melina had risen in the ranks of his dancers to become the dance designer for the crimelord. She foiled Mara Jade's first attempt on Luke Skywalker's life in Jabba's palace, intercepting Mara and accusing her of working with Lady Valarian. Mara then used the Force to coerce Melina into shooting a Gamorrean guard, creating a diversion for an escape. Note that X-Wing: The Bacta War hints that Melina Carniss was actually Mara Jade. It was believed that Carniss sold information to Ysanne Isard about the actions of Rogue Squadron during the Bacta War. She also sold information of Isard's movements to the Rogues, which allowed them to anticipate the attack of the Corrupter and Aggregator at Alderaan. (TJP, BW)

Carnival Week

a week-long celebration on Coruscant. (COJ)

Carnivorous Mold

this orange and yellow form of fungi is native to the planet Nim Drovis. This mold is mobile when it groups into clumps, and has a limited form of intelligence that allows it to pursue prey.

Carosi XII

this cool world was the twelfth planet in the Carosus System, a frozen, ice-covered rock just barely showing signs of life. Then the Carosi star began to expand into a red giant. The gradual increase in surface temperature has turned Carosi XII into a habitable world, now the seventh planet in the system. The metling ice has formed the Avuae Sea, which is now teaming with life. It is the current homeworld of the Carosites, who fled Carosi IV. The Carosites who now live there are ardent supporters of the New Republic. The planet is girded by the Eurae Mountains.

The lifespan of a Carosite about 120 local years. The Carosites have a unique, five-fingered hand that has two opposable digits on either side of the hand. The flight from Carosi IV has left them culturally disoirented, which meant they were easily coerced by the Empire. Since the Battle of Yavin, the Carosites have pledged their support to the New Republic, and have become quite adept in the fields of medicine and mechanics. They also became the primary trading partner of the Ebranite race. (COJ, PG2, GG12)

The Carrack ships carry up to four TIE Fighters on a set of external racks. They are also the fastest Imperial capital ships, rated at 18 MGLT. However, it was lightly armored near its power generators, which posed a problem in battle. (TB, JS, HTTE, ISB, TIE)

The Carrack-class cruiser boasts the following components:

A small shaft in the ceiling allowed some light to penetrate the chamber; the light created a colorful display when it reflected and refracted from the crystals in the chamber walls. (OS2)

Casfield 6

this droid-managed world was the site of a six-ship collision. The droids were using simple droid languages to talk to incoming starships, and were passing landing codes to them this way. However, this droid language caused the ships' computers to malfunction, and all control was lost. Among the ships destroyed in the collision was a starship owned by the Offen race, which had just recently begun to experiment with space travel. Their 6,000-year-old Queen was aboard the ship when it was destroyed, and she was killed. (TNR)

He was also one of Seti Ashgad’s strongest supporters, before he learned what Ashgad’s true intentions were. When Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa-Solo revealed the treachery of Ashgad, Caslo refused to believe. Rather than hear more of the accusations, he threw a belt of grenades into a Theran gun tower. He was shot and killed in the attempt, but the grenades destroyed the weaponry. (POT)

Castle Lands

this area of Alderaan's plains was at one time the home of the ancient killik race. They built large, complex cities out of the natural elements around them. The killik died out ages ago, but their wonderful castles remained after them. The Alderaanians held the Castle Lands in awe, and discovered eighteen unique groupings of structures that seemed to indicate eighteen periods of expansion in killik history. The artists of Alderaan flocked to the Castle Lands to experience the natural beauty of the killik buildings, although one artist took his inspiration too far. He painted a section of the Castle Lands with bright, chaotic patterns, but his work was quickly condemned by the many Alderaanians who revered the killik structures. (ISU)

He set up a base on the planet Murninkam, far from prying eyes. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Caveel stole the droid AOI-C - also known as Doc - from Massad Thrumble. He hoped to use the droid’s abilities to create an army of warrior-droids in order to subdue his enemies and gather control of the criminal underworld. However, his plans were thwarted when Guri - at the request of Trumble - immobilized the Pike sisters and rescued Doc. Thrumble didn’t give up, and developed a new plan that involved the Pike Sisters capturing Doc and Guri’s head, then using the parts to build a better automata. They tracked Guri back to Hurd’s Moon, but were caught in the cross-fire between Savan’s forces, Alliance forces, and Thrumble’s improved defenses. The Pike sisters backed out of the deal, but Caveel threatened to kill them. As he tried to shoot them, the Pike sisters drew their weapons faster. Caveel was shot and killed. (SEE)

CAVw PX-10

Nen-Carvon's compact assault vehicle (CAV), the PX-10 was built for the Empire to help extend its domination without spreading its manpower too thin. With the PX-10, a single stormtrooper can operate with the firepower of an entire squad. Like the HAVw A5 heavy ground assault vehicle, the PX-10 doesn't have repulsorlifts to move it about. Instead, it relies on two heavy-duty treads driven by five pairs of wheels. The PX-10 is designed to give a single trooper enough firepower to control a large territory. The primary rule of combat for this trooper is to stay within the vehicle; it's that powerful. (DFR, ISB)

Cay's Dream

He despised what his relative Firith Olan had become, but was not above forcing Wedge Antilles to battle Sixtus Quin and Septaas for information on Firith’s whereabouts during the search for Eidolon Base. However, Cazne’olan showed that he believed crime didn’t pay - either for Firith or the Empire - by staging the battle in a virtual world, in which all parties were consumed in a firestorm. (XWBT, KT)

this Gungan General was in command of the entire Gungan army, and reported directly to Boss Nass. During the Battle of Naboo, Ceel was forced to defer to Boss Nass’ wish that Jar Jar Binks be also named as a General, but would not let the bumbling Gungan hold any real duties. Ceel and his officers devised the plan of attack that had the Gungans draw out and detain the Trade Federation’s droid army, while allowing Queen Amidala and her small force to infiltrate the city of Theed and capture Nute Gunray and Rune Haako. The battle waged on in an even sort of match until the droid army managed to knock out the heavy Gungan shields. At this point, Ceel ordered a full retreat, hoping to regroup his forces and attack again. However, the droid army swept over them and prevented a full retreat. The Gungans were saved when nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker and Bravo Squadron destroyed the Neimoidian droid control ship, rendering their immense battle force inoperative. (TPM)

Celchu, Skoloc

Tycho Celchu's brother, Skoloc was killed when the Death Star destroyed Alderaan. He was a fan of holovids which involved the Jedi Knights. (BW)

Celchu, Tycho

Celchu was a graduate of the Imperial Naval Academy, even though he was a native of Alderaan. He was engaged to a woman named Mia who, along with most of Celchu's family, was killed when the Death Star destroyed the planet. Note that Mia is the name given in the first series of X-Wing: Rogue Squadron comics, although the X-Wing novels name her as Nyiestra. Tycho was calling home on his twenty-first birthday, and regarded the loss of transmission to be a simple glitch. After learning the truth about this atrocious act, Celchu left Imperial service and defected to the Alliance. He became a veteran of the Battle of Hoth, he flew an A-Wing in the Battle of Endor, and participated in the Battle of Bakura. His allegiance, though, was constantly questioned by the ranking officers in the New Republic, although the fighter pilots never waivered in their support of him. He was under constant surveillance by the New Republic, because of his ability to escape from Imperial capture time and time again. He showed an innate ability to pilot a TIE Fighter, which also didn't endear him to the higher-ups. It did, though, bring a level of respect among other pilots. Tycho assisted the Rogues and infiltrated the Imperial ranks on Cilpar. He also participated in the Rogues' mission to Mrlsst, but was witnessed killing the controllers of the Phantom cloaking device and stealing its plans. The tape turned out to be a clever fake designed to discredit the Rogues and secure the Phantom device for the Empire. Once the Phantom was proven to be a smokescreen, Tycho was freed from any guilt in the matter. He later fell in love with Winter, during the recovery of the Eidolon on Tatooine. He was later chosen to fly the initial scanning runs of the planet Coruscant, flying a stolen Imperial craft in a series of sensor runs in an effort to assess the planet's defenses. He was captured by the Empire and sent to Lusankya, where he was allowed to remember his time there. He was then sent to Akrit'tar for three months before escaping and returning to the Republic. This time was secretly removed from his Republic records, further increasing the distrust among those members of the Command structure who weren't privy to the Coruscant mission. He later a member of Rogue Squadron following the Battle of Endor, but was not allowed to pilot a starfighter or any ship with weapons. Unknown to Tycho, Ysanne Isard had implanted him with a hidden codephrase that activated subliminal programming, making him an extremely effective spy. The fact that he remembered his time on Lusankya made him different enough from other survivors that it went unnoticed until Rogue Squadron infiltrated Coruscant. Shortly before the attack on Coruscant, Celchu was believed dead on Noquivzor. He suddenly reappeared, and helped the Rogues get onto the planet. There, Corran Horn supposedly witnessed Tycho meeting with Kirtan Loor, when Celchu was actually meeting with Lai Nootka. The circumstantial evidence, coupled with Horn's disappearance, left Tycho in custody for Horn's murder. He was certain to be convicted of the crime until Horn escaped from Lusankya and positively identified the true traitor in the Rogue Squadron. Tycho eventually fell in love with Winter, partly because she was near him more often, but mostly because of their shared Alderaanian background. When the squadron resigned its commissioned with the New Republic, Tycho chose to paint his X-Wing in the colors of the Alderaan Guard unit that maintained order in his home town. (XWRS, XWN, WG, KT, XWPA, XWBT, BW, HXW)

Celestial

this Alliance transport ship was captained by Alain Gryphon when it disappeared from known space. The Celestial was transporting prisoners to an Alliance penal colony when its captives, including Bane Nothos and Grand Moff Ravik, broke free and took control of the ship. The Imperials, in their attempt to gain control, caused a power surge to flood the ship, disabling the hyperdrive.

When the New Republic manages to penetrate the interdiction field surrounding Corellia, following Thrackan Sal-Solo's rise to power, they find that the center of the field of located on the station. The central sphere contains a series of inner sections, called shells, that surround the huge open area known as Hollowtown. In the center of Hollowtown is the Glowpoint. Lando Calrissian later discovers that the station was built as a kind of hyperspatial tractor beam, capabke if drawing an entire planet through hyperspace to the station's location. He later discovers that the station, by reorienting itself, can be directed to pulse its energy at the core of a star, causing it to explode. Thus, Centerpoint Station was revealed as the weapon used in the Starbuster plot. (AC, AS, SC)

known as CCIR and developed by Loronar Corporation for use in synthdroids, this technology supposedly produced near-human in mechanical entities. The technology was expanded by Loronar into military applications such as the Needles until the use of other lifeforms within the technology was vervealed by luke Skywalker. CCIR involved the use of shards of Spook crystals from Nam Chorios as the "brain" of the system. A large, central command post was programmed to issue commands to any and all Spook crystals attuned to the wavelength of the message. The use of Spook crystals was described to Loronar by Seti Ashgad and Dzym, who realized that the crystals were, in fact, lifeforms with a high level of Force sensitivity and intelligence. The matrix of the crystals could be re-aligned to make the Spooks subservient to the central processor, which mimicked the natural emanations of the tsil on Nam Chorios. Thus, large numbers of synthdroids could be programmed from a singel location, with much of the processing power required to make decisions remaining in the central site. In the case of the Needles, the ships could be lanuched from anywhere, since they needed no organic pilot and could therefore save space and energy. When Skywalker discovered the sentience of the Spook crystals and explained it to the New Republic, it was decided that any and all Spooks should be returned to Nam Chorios. This ultimatum was given to Loronar, which was faced with the exposure of their part in Dzym’s plans or the possibility that the Guardian tsil on Nam Chorios would simply instruct the crystals in CCIR technology to ignore their reprogramming. Thus, CCIR was relegated to a back-seat position, without its primary component being readily available. (POT)

As a race, Cereans tended to be isolationists, preferring to live in a low-tech environment away from the bustle of the Old Republic. However, in the last years of the Old Republic, the younger generation of Cereans decided that they wanted to have things that were commonplace in the rest of the galaxy, life starships and speeder bikes. This led to a generational battle that was decided by the Jedi Ki-Adi-Mundi. (PTR)

The planet's environment is mainly based on water, with a few mountains and swamps thrown in for good measure. This makes the planet generally inhospitable. During a great storm, the planet was rocked with tectonic shifting, and a series of Great Waves swept the life from the swamps. This nearly destroyed the planet's primary native race, the Chadra-Fan, but they managed to survive in the mountains. The Chadra-Fan histories document at least five Great Waves, the last of which struck just ten years before the Battle of Yavin.

Charon

a race of arachnids that originated in a star system which was being consumed by a black hole within the realm known as Otherspace. This proximity to a black hole, coupled with the destruction wrought by the hole gave rise to a Charon death cult. The cult was a small, yet dangerous entity until the Charon developed the sublight drive. After that, the leaders of the cult began spreading their beliefs, and were able to destroy life on their homeworld as well as nearby worlds. The destruction of all life - and eventually their own - will bring the Charon in touch with the Void, which they believe is the natural progression of all beings. Under the direction of Ber’asco, who believed himself to be the Final Prophet, the Charon wiped out all life in Otherspace, but still could not become one with the Void. When the Alliance transport Celestial was deposited into Otherspace, the Charon realized that the abundance of life in realspace stood between them and the Void. Their initial attempt at entering realspace, with the help of Bane Nothos and Grand Moff Ravik, failed when Alliance agents attempted to rescue the crew of the Celestial and escaped back into realspace. (OS, GG4)

this strange body protection system was devised by the Charon bioscientists. It is composed of the same organic stone used to create the starship Desolate, and is powerful and deadly. It can be molded to fit a specific individual, and can be formed into clubs and knives which protrude from the basic armor. Often, a plasma cannon is added to augment the defensive capabilities of the armor. The biosensing technology built into the armor gives it the ability to acquire targets which are obscured by the environment. (OS, OS2)

Chertyl was tall - nearly 2 meters or more - and had short, dark black fur that flashed silvery-blue in the right light. When it came time for the annual Awards Ball, the Corellian humans had targetted her as the winner of their annual pool. This pool chose the least-likely female to get a date for the ball, and "awarded" her to the winner of the pool. Corran liked Chertyl, and secretly bought up all the pool tickets, claiming that she would steal the hearts of the other officers. Thus, he won the pool, and got to take Chertyl to the Ball. He showed her the time of her life. Although she was infertile, she wasn't incapable, as Corran found out following the Ball. They shared a wonderful evening in each others' arms, but the morning brought a startling revelation.

Chief among them is the fact the Chevs have two hearts. Also known as Chevin Humanoids, Chevs have been known to live as long as 300 years. Chevin have taken to dying the short, coarse hair of their Chev slaves to indicate ownership. They have nimble fingers and muscular bodies, and have the ability to learn complex technologies. The Chev race has been enslaved for so long that most forget the reasons for their enslavement and simply accept it. However, recent generations have begun looking for ways to defeat their Chevin masters. Some Chevs have left Vinsoth to pursue careers in business elsewhere. These Chevs as respected in their circles, and seem confident. (GG12)

Chevin

a race of elephant-like humanoids from the planet Vinsoth. They have long heads sit at the end of a thick neck that curves downward, allowing them to forage for food without having to bend over. Some have large facial tusks which impede their vocal abilities. Chevin have thick, grey skin that allows them to tolerate a wide range of temperatures. They are adroit hunters, working in teams to corner their prey. They have dominated the planet Vinsoth, and have enslaved the Chevs. Many Chevin villages wander across the surface of the planet, migrating with the seasons to maintain food supplies and avoiding harsh weather. The Chevin leadership supported the New Order during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. (GG12, ROTJ)

Chewbacca

Born on Kashyyyk around 183 PE, Chewbacca (Chewie, for short) grew up without a great deal of human intervention. He excelled the various hand-to-hand combat skills a Wookiee is taught, and also gained a great deal of mechanical aptitude. At the age of 80 (WEG has him leaving at age 50, SCRE at 80), he left Kashyyyk to explore the stars. For 60 years (WEG says 140, SCRE says 60 years), he answered to no one but himself, until the Empire declared Wookiees a slave commodity. Chewie captured as a rogue Wookiee and imprisoned, where her heard about the Imperial mandate, and he spent the next 30 years doing hard labor in the Empire's slave camps. Note that this assumes the Empire existed for more than 30 years, which is debatable.

Chewie was doomed to a short life when he was rescued by an Imperial Navy trainee named Han Solo. Chewie claimed a lifedebt to Han, and the two fled Imperial observation and began living underground as smugglers.

Chewie's physical strength and mechanical abilities made him a formidable partner, and he and Han had many adventures during the 15 years prior to taking on Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker for passage to Alderaan. Chewie's actions in rescuing Princess Leia and helping Han Solo give Luke some breathing room during the Battle of Yavin earned him a commendation from the Alliance.

His life-debt to Han Solo kept Chewie active. Following Han's need to repay Jabba the Hutt, he continued to help the Alliance, becoming a part of the ground assault team that disabled the shield generator on Endor's Sanctuary moon, allowing the Alliance to destroy the second Death Star.

Following the formation of the New Republic and Han's resignation from the Republic, Chewie and Han continued to assist the Republic as pilots, and Chewie was forced to expand his hnor family to include Princess Leia following her marriage to Han Solo. Chewie's family continued to grow after the births of Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin Solo. Chewie became a guardian of Jacen and Jaina after their return from Anoth, but the siblings eluded him and got lost in the underground of Imperial City. Chewie and C-3PO managed to find them.

On a vacation flight to Kessel with Han, Chewie and Han were shot down over the planet and forced to work in the spice mines. Their escape led them to the Maw Installation, and a group of Wookiee slaves still under Imperial domination. After convincing the Republic's leaders that they needed to establish an occupation of the Installation, Chewie also lobbied for the Republic to rescue the enslaved Wookiees. He was granted permission to accompany the occupation team and free the Wookiees. He was successful in rescuing the Wookiees, and helped get them out of the Installation before Daala destroyed it. Chewbacca was portrayed by Peter Mayhew in all three Star Wars films. (SW, ESB, ROTJ, HTTE)

Cirrifog

this is the name given to the thick, pearlescent microcrystals found in the atmosphere of Monor II. Billions of these microcrystals can be found in a single cubic meter of air, and breathing them is hazardous to most races because it shreds the delicate tissues of the lungs. The native Sunesi have evolved the ability to breathe it, and it plays a large part in the change from young Sunesi to adulthood. Juveniles of the species cannot survive long without it in their atmosphere, and require it in order to create the protective coccoons used during their metamorphosize into adults. The cirrifog was found to be useful in certain applications during the early days of the New Order, shortly after Eujustus Kline discovered it. The Empire began mining the microcrystals, and extracted so much of them that the juvenile Sunesi were threatened. Agapos the Ninth spoke out against the Empire, and was condemned to death. (SWJ10)

He tracked Vader to Cheelit, where the Dark Lord was playing Firepath with Lady Dohl. Unfortunately for Clat, he was walking into a trap. Vader had manipulated him to Cheelit, and when Clat entered Dohl's Hive Palace to capture Vader, he ended up on the Firepath board. There, Vader let him see what had happened to him, then captured him like any other Firepath piece. Clat was then consumed in a pillar of flame. (CSWDW)

Clatear

this alien race has a 600-year-old feud with the Nhoras race. Five separate generations of Jedi Knights failed to resolve the conflict, and the Empire simply let them be. The Clatear were heavily suppressed by Imperial forces, and thus learned how to fight better than the Nhoras. When the revelation of the Caamas Document brought forth many inter-species feuds, the Clatear decided that the time was right to attack the Nhoras and end the feud. (SOP)

The Climateria was divided into twenty pie-shaped sections, with transparisteel walkway tubes between them. Each section depicted a different sort of climate, with the approriate flora, fauna, and environmental conditions all on display. The climates were a consolidation of climates from planets which are known for their wondrous ecologies. There was a swamp climate, a rain forest climate, an ocean climate, and a desert climate already up and running when Cojahn was murdered by Black Sun. Each climate was extremely realistic, and participants could expect to get wet, dirty, or sandy, depending on which environments they visited. (TCC)

the region of space surrounding the Roon System, it is filled with dangerous meteors, asteroids, and planetoids. (DCAR)

Cloaking Device

the Empire devised the first working cloaking device just before the Battle of Endor. However, its abilities were overshadowed by its cost, and it was never fully implemented. The one major drawback to the original cloaking device was that it was unstable during hyperspacial travel. This fact was not known to Admiral Zaarin, who attempted to steal a version for the Alliance. He took a cloaked CR90 corvette into hyperspace to escape Vice Admiral Thrawn but the cloaking device ruptured and destroyed the corvette as it entered hyperspace. Several years after the Battle of Endor, Grand Admiral Thrawn recovered the technology from Mount Tantiss and used it twice: once at the Battle of Sluis Van, to hide the contents of his false freighter Narsisstue; and again when he mounted them on asteroids and set them loose in orbit around Coruscant.

Up until this point, the only feasible use of a cloaking device was on somewhat stationary objects. There were several limitations to using the device on a starship, the foremost of which was that the cloaked ship was as blind to the outside world as the ship was to observation. This presented a problem to early engineers and designers, but was overcome by the advent of the Imperial Computer Combat Predictor. It didn’t alleviate the fact that the cloaked ship was blind, but tried allow it the opportunity to shoot down attacking craft. (HTTE, TLC, TIE, SOP)

CloakShape Fighter

developed by the old Kuat Systems Engineering company, the CS fighter was a slow, underpowered, but quite durable starfighter. A few of them survived the Galactic Civil War, seeing duty in smuggler fleets. The CS Fighter was a simpled design, easily modified for specific uses. Very few unmodified ships can be found. The CS could be modified in a number of ways, mainly with the addition of Curich Engineering's rear wing and stabilizer conversion kit. This kit, which improved maneuverability and allowed the addition of a hyperdrive sled, was so popular that many people forget it wasn't part of the original design. The ClaokShape fighter measured 15 meters in length, and was armed with a pair of laser cannons and two concussion missile launchers. (DE1, DESB, EGV)

Clodhopper

a race of herbivores native to the planet Naboo, these grasshopper-like creatures hate the water. The Naboo consider them pests, since they often ravage crops and destroy farmlands.

Cloud City

a tibanna gas mining colony in close-orbit over Bespin run by Lando Calrissian, but originally built by Ecclessis Figg and the fledgling Bespin Motors company. It is essentially a huge, saucer-shaped city floating in the upper layers of Bespin's atmosphere, some 60,000 kilometers from the planet's core. The saucer - an incredible sixteen kilometers in diameter - is kept stable via a long repulsorlift unipod which hangs below the saucer. This configuration makes Cloud City seventeen kilometers in overall height. The unipod keeps Cloud City afloat by using 3,6000 repulsorlift engines. There are 392 levels to Cloud City, and a surface-level concourse at its top. Its location keeps it out of the mainstream of interplanetary commerce, but that allows it some necessary freedoms. It is known for its productions of tibanna gas, as well as for its casinos and open-air plazas. Due to its small size, in relation to full-scale mining operations, Cloud City was able to remain outside Imperial jurisdiction and separate from the Mining Guild. However, when Darth Vader learned that Luke Skywalker might go to the outpost to rescue his friends, the Empire took control of the city. After Luke was able to escape from Vader, Vader left an Imperial garrison there. Grand Admiral Thrawn later used this garrison as a base of operations in his war against the New Republic. The outpost was again freed of Imperial control following Thrawn's defeat, but Cloud City's reputation had been forever tarnished. (ESB, HTTE, GG2, EGV)

Cloud Dance Restaurant

located in the upper levels of Cloud City, the Cloud Dance extended in a ring from a tall, cylindrical tower. Transparisteel windows in the outer walls gave patrons a 360-degree view of Cloud City and the atmosphere of Bespin. The floors and ceilings were also made of transparisteel, giving patrons the feeling that they are floating above the planet. An opaque walkway roamed the perimeter of the restaurant, providing access to all the tables. A beautiful sculpture - a glass sphere with cloud-like gases roiling inside - stood in the center of the restaurant, providing the dancing clouds referred to in its name. (TCC)

Cloud Jumpers

It is a dull gold color, and is covered with mystic engravings and small crystal-studded patterns. When used by a properly trained Jedi, the Codex glows slightly and hums. Among its many uses, the Codex can locate disturbances in the Force. It can also augment a Jedi's ability to call upon and use the Force. Continued use of the Codex makes the user susceptible to the Dark Side of the Force. When used, however, the Codex sends tremendous shock waves throught the Force. This is what first attracted the Dark Jedi Halbret to it. When it was later found by Pann, the Codex had become brittle and easily damaged. (GMH)

intelligent, humanoid natives of Munto Codru, the bipedal Codru-Ji race is characterized by their four arms. When immature, the Codru-Ji take the form of a wyrwulf. This is a pupal stage for the Cordu-Ji, and they sleep in a prone position (as most dogs do). The wyrwulf form can communicate through a series of barks and grunts. When the being is of sufficient age, the wyrwulf form cocoons itself, and then metamorphs into a full-grown adult Codru-Ji. The adults must sleep upright, due to the changes brought about by the formation of their four arms. Special slings have been developed to support the slumbering adults. The form of the Codru-Ji communicates in a complex series of high-pitched whistles and sighs, although they are also able to speak in the low-range sounds of most humanoid races.

They are known for their political intrigues, abductions, and coups.

He believed that knowledge without application was wasted knowledge, and that information gleaned from textbooks was inferior to information gained by direct experience. (ISU).

Colmar, Davaire

this human male was a Lieutenant with the Alliance. He had strong features that belied his quiet, extremely competant personality. Before joining the Alliance, Colmar was a rising star in the Imperial Special Training Corps.

Colony One

this was the primary spice-processing center on the planet Ylesia. The center was ostensibly the site of the religious order founded by Teroenza, although the devoted followers were used as slave labor. The t’landa Til kept the slaves blissfully unaware of their slavery by making them attend daily devotions at the Altar of Promises, where the creatures use their neck pouches to emit sonic vibrations that affect the sensory areas of the slaves’ brains. The colony is located between the Mountains of the Exalted and Zoma Gawanga, and was 147 kilometers away from Colony Two. It was here that the Alliance struck the first blows of the Battle of Ylesia, engaging Nova Force in a brief firefight that left much of the mercenary group dead. (TPS, RD)

Colony Seven

this Ylesian slave and spice colony was infiltrated by Aiaks Fwa shortly before the Battle of Ylesia. (RD)

Colony Three

the third colony established by Teroenza on Ylesia, it was created after Han Solo and Bria Tharen nearly destroyed Colony One during their escape. Bria and her band of freedom fighters returned to Colony Three, seeing that it was not as sercurely guarded as the first two colonies, to rescue the enslaved pilgrims there. (THG)

Colony Two

the second of three planned false religious colonies established by the Hutts and the t’landa Til on Ylesia, it was here that Mrrov was held in thrall until Muuurgh rescued her. Colony Two, sited on the northeastern edge of the Zoma Gawanga, was located 147 kilometers from Colony One, across the Gachoogai River and the Mountains of Faith, and was nearly identical in layout to Colony One. (TPS)

Color-crawler

a small alien creature which exudes a colored slime as it travels. The slime can be used to color a great many things, including hair, cloth, and paint. (CS)

Colossus Wasp of Ithull

a huge insectoid alien, about the size of a large transport ship. The insects are so huge that the dead are scavenged by the various transport guilds in the Stenness system, and their exoskeletons are scrapped out. These hollow shells are then fitted with interior holds, navigation systems, hydraulics, and crew quarters. The exterior is then plated, and sublight and hyperspace drives are attached so that the entire carapace can be used as a fast cargo ship. They were virtually indestructible, since the round shape tended to deflect laser blasts. The pirates of the Stenness System later developed small ships which could latch onto and pierce the outer hull so that they could enter the cargo holds and steal the cargo. (TOJ)

Colton

  1. a member of the support staff of the Royal House of Alderaan, Colton was the owner of C-3PO and R2-D2 during the early years of Palpatine's rule as Emperor. He brought the two droids to one of Palpatine's balls, where C-3PO mistook Darth Vader for a GuardDroid. Colton demoted C-3PO to preschool teaching duty for the offense. In the Star Wars novelization, it is inferred that Colton was the Captain of the Tantive IV, although the the Star Wars film script, the Captain's name was Antilles. (SWN, EGC)

Columi

these aliens, native to the planet Columus, are a peaceful, non-agressive race with a vast intellect stored in their huge heads. One third of their height, and most of their weight, is found in their heads, which are wreathed with throbbing blood vessels. The brain of the Columi is divided into over 100 lobes, each dedicated to an independent function. The collection of intelligence has long-since rendered their limbs useless, and they have to be transported in antigrav harnesses. The eyes of the Columi are capable of seeing in the entire electromagnetic spectrum, and can "hear" by analyzing the frequency of sound and radio waves. Their technology centers on the use of radio waves, generated by their immense brains. All Columi hardware is created to be activated and manipulated with radio waves. They use droids and other machinery to perform their physical work. Being one of the first species to develop an advanced society and technology, they were greatly dismayed to find the rest of the galaxy inhabitted by "barbarians." Also, the heaviness of standard gravity was hard for the Columi to overcome, so off-world travel is kept to a minimum. Those Columi found off Columus are either scholars, business leaders, or gamblers, and can be almost impossible to beat. They apparently freely joined the Empire, although mainly in order to retain their isolation. (CPL, GG4)

Columus

this planet is the homeworld of the Columi race. It is a small world with a light gravitational field and very little tectonic movement. It is a flat, muddy world with no natural erosion. (GG4)

Comark, Amber

the daughter of Moff Jesco Comark, Amber was friends with a librarian in the Imperial archives during her early years. When the librarian was exposed as an Alliance agent, Amber could only watch as the librarian was arrested and interrogated. The death of the librarian was reported to Amber by her father, and only served to highlight the atrocities the Empire considered normal behavior. Amber decided to assume the role played by the librarian - as the special agent known as Tigress - but she had neither the training nor the contacts of the librarian. Her information was much less reliable, and Alliance Special Operations began to doubt Tigress’ loyalties. When Amber discovered that her father was the mastermind behind the Death-Hunter project, she began filtering data about it to the Alliance. She provided information on the use of Plexus courier droids, as well as hints of strange kidnappings, through her astromech droid, R2-B4. She remained near the project, and was able to assist a group of Alliance agents in exposing it. She met them on Bescane, after the loss of Cooper Dray, and they were led on a chase which ended on Zeta Zero Nine. It was there that the Alliance agents, along with Lady Amber, defeated her father and eliminated the primary Death-Hunter development files. (SWJ9)

Comark, Jesco

this Imperial Moff was the creator of the Death-Hunter project. A native of the planet Chandrila, he was nonetheless easily swayed by Senator Palpatine’s writings and speeches, and was one of the few Chandrilans who embraced the beliefs of the unassuming Palpatine. When Palpatine instituted the New Order, he awarded Comark with the position of Imperial Governor of Chandrila despite the protests of Mon Mothma. She lobbied that Comark had no political experience in governing a planet, and Comark eventually yielded to her. He then took a position within Renik, and began diverting its resources into the Death-Hunter project. He was finally brought down by Alliance agents at his secret base on Zeta Zero Nine, as a result of the information provided to the Alliance by his own daughter, Amber. In a battle within his underwater base, the Alliance agents were able to free nearly all of the kidnapped humans who were being used to create the Death-Hunter cyborgs. They destroyed the facility, and it was believed that Moff Comark perished in the destruction. (SWJ9)

Combat

this is the traditional method of deciding disputes between the S’krrr and Rabaanite peoples. It was initially created some 6,300 years before the Galactic Civil War, as a way for the two races to coexist in relative peace. Under the rules of Combat, the strongest warrior from each planet is selected to battle the other in single combat. The battle takes places on the Combat Moon, and the two combatants must fight to the death. The victor’s planet is declared the winner of the dispute. (SWJ9)

Combat Arachnid

a twelve-legged insectoid native to the planet Carida, these crimson and maroon beasts had hard shells covered with needle-like spines. Their outer shell is extremely hard, and they have piston-like jaws that devour their prey quickly and efficiently. They communicate via a series of hypersonic transmissions. (TJP)

Combat Assault Vehicle (CAV)

this is a small, single-person comabt ship which uses a repulsorlift, instead of wheels and treads, to move about. (DFR)

Combat Moon

this is the name given to the only natural satellite of the planet Rabaan. It is a barely habitable world, with a thin atmosphere supporting minimal plant and animal life. The Combat Moon is tectonically active, and great rifts and jagged peaks mark its drab, gray surface. Despite its proximity to Rabaan, it was declared neutral ground by the Rabaanites and S’krrr, who used the moon as the battlefield on which to settle their differences. A champion from each world would be sent to the moon to battle for the resolution of any dispute between the two races. It was on this moon that Imperial Commander Glave met Mika Streev and Sh’shak, who had prepared to do battle for their worlds, in the first stage of the Imperial invasion of the Ishanna System. (SWJ9)

Combat Sense

a technique employed by the Jedi Knights, it allows a Jedi to focus most of their attention on the battle at hand. The Jedi sees enemies as bright images, and can direct the flow of the battle while viewing enemy positioning. (SWSB)

They are usually unshielded, with weak, 8 RU hulls. Thus, they are never far from their motherships. (TIE)

Combined Clans

this is the governing body of the Bothan race. It is made up of the leaders of the various Bothan clans. They were responsible for all aspects of Bothan life, including security and finance. They made a series of poor financial decisions following the Battle of Endor and the formation of the New Republic, and suddenly found themselves in debt. A clever manipulation of financial data made it appear that the Bothans were still in control of large sums of credits, but they were sorely impoverished at the time. This situation was exacerbated by the revelations of the Caamas Document, when they could not make any form of restitution to the Caamasi without bankrupting themselves and shaking up several major galactic stock exchanges. (SOP)

Combined Clans Center Building

Commando Team 8

The team of Noghri commandos sent by Grand Admiral Thrawn to intercept Princess Leia on Bimmisaari, during the New Republic's first set of diplomatic talks there. The Bimms were bribed to keep their presence a secret, but the Noghri were destroyed when Luke and Leia realized what was happening. (HTTE)

Commando Team 22

The team of Noghri commandos sent by Grand Admiral Thrawn to intercept Princess Leia on Kashyyyk, following the failure of the first two attempts to capture Princess Leia. She was trying to hide from Thrawn by mingling with the Wookiees, but the Noghri tracked her to Kashyyyk and attacked. Chewbacca's friend Salporin was killed in the attack, but so were all but one of the Noghri. Khabarakh was the sole survivor, and the uselessness of the attack turned him from the life of a commando to that of a New Republic sympathizer. (HTTE)

Commelina

this colorful, flowerin plant is used in decorative gardens. (TT)

Commenor

this planet, located near the Corellian System and sitting on the outer edge of the Core Worlds, was a trading outpost and spaceport.

Common Charter

this document lays out the basic tenets and operational guidelines of the New Republic. A number of articles lay out the general statutes. Article Five describes the right of the Chief of State to declare a state of war against a known enemy. Leia Organa-Solo invoked this Article during the Black Fleet Crisis, forestalling the vote of recall against her during the Third Electoral and declaring war on the Yevetha. Article Nineteen indicates that any planet without a native population cannot be controlled by the Republic. Anyone can settle the planet without political affiliation. (TT)

COMPNOR

formed by the Emperor Palpatine at the beginning of his reign, The Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR, for short) was created to provide the galxay's idealistic youths a vehicle for removing the chaos of the Old Republic's death. Palpatine quickly saw the advantages of the youth movement, and began subtly twisting it to his own use, as a vehicle for instilling the basic tenets of the New Order into everyday galactic life. (ISB)

Compton

an Imperial frigate operative durign the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Computer Combat Predictor

this starship weapons system, developed by Imperial engineers in the decade after the death of Admiral Thrawn, was designed to assist a cloaked starship. At its most advanced design, a cloaking device hid a starship from outside view, but also left the starship blind as to its surroundings. Thus, if it was discovered while cloaked, a starship was unable to safely maneuver, let alone anticipate an attack. The Predictor was developed to assist in predicting the attack of incoming starfighters, interfacing with the weapons systems to fire autoamtically in a set pattern. Supreme Commander Pellaeon tested the initial version of the Predictor ten years after Thrawn’s death, and found the system still lacking any true accuracy. (SOP)

Computer Mating Service

this Bith establishment (known as CMS) is responsible for the matching of the DNA of prosective mates, in order to generate a series of child-patterns (CPs) projecting the outcome of their union. This allows the Bith mates to create the best possible children for their continued existence. (GG4)

Computer Spike

any device used to covertly gain access to information stored in a mainframe computer. They are programmed to gain access to data and then continually modify themselves to avoid detection. The problem with this is that the spike degrades in efficiency as it works, until it has completely rewritten itself and it is completely useless. Each spike, therefore, can only be used once. (CFG)

Comran

one of the crewmen serving Captain Hajj aboard the Star of Empire, Comran was killed after the Systems Integration Manager program took control of the ship. As Hajj and his crew were climbing a gangway to reach the communications room, someone dropped a repulsor engine down the shaft. It struck Comran and carried him to his death at the bottom of the shatf. (GOF10)

Comus

Con Queecon

the phrase used by the Ranat race to describe themselves, it translates to "The Conquerors." (GG4)

Cona

a planet in the Teke Ro system, it has a lush, tropical environment. Due to its lack of axial tilt, the environment is pretty much the same over the entire surface. The atmosphere has a high concentration of ammonia, and any oxygen is found locked in the bedrock. Often, the only water found on the planet is collected and stored by the native plantlife. The planet's primary sentient lifeform, the Arcona, survive in small comunities which harvest the plant pods for their water. The Glove of Darth Vader describes Cona as having ammonia-filled jungles, which are home to star dragons. (SCRE, GG4, GDV)

Concussion Missile

a detonation device which, although not as powerful as a proton torpedo, is much faster. They employ an armor-piercing tip mounted on a compact energy pack. This tip allows the missile to penetrate a ship's hull, while also serving to ignite the weapon's energy pack. Upon striking a target, an atom smasher is activated near the energy pack, imploding the atoms and generating a huge amount of energy and heat. This first melts the target, then explodes it. (ROTJ, WEG, DFR, SCRE)

Concussion Shielding

another name for particle shielding. (CPL)

He and the others believed that the pleas from Yevethan prisoners were, in fact, real. Unfortunately for the Republic, the pleas were perjured under the direction of Tal Fraan, and served to deter the Fifth Battle Group from destroying Yevethan ships. (SOL)

Condor Dragon

another name for the mantigrue, a dragon-like creature native to the Forest Moon of Endor. (ISU)

Condren Foreck

a famous athlete from the planet Azbrian, Condren is also the heiress to her aging father's vast fortune. For this reason, she is approached by Lando Calrissian as his second choice for a rich wife.

Conjurer

a playing piece in the game of Firepath. (CSWDW)

Conner net

an electrically-charged metal mesh used to immobilze a target, Conner nets come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Large Conner nets are used to detain ships, by dropping the net onto a ship and allowing the net to weld itself to their hulls. Smaller nets can be placed in passageways and triggered with motion sensors to drop onto intruders. This is a much less humane use, of course. (TLC, VOF)

Conners

this Alliance starship crewman served under Alain Gryphon aboard the Celestial. Conners was killed when the ship was captured by the Charon in Otherspace, during the initial wave of attacks. (OS)

Conor

this Imperial trooper served under Administrator Brago, after Brago replaced Fuguee at the Kline Colony outpost. In reality, Conor was an Alliance agent named Urek who had infiltrated the colony after Brago's rise to power. It was Conor who supposedly shot down Daye Azur-Jamin's message pod, which told the Sunesi where to retrieve a cache of smuggled weapons. Urek later helped Daye and his companions escape from the colony's prison. (SWJ10)

Conqueror Assault Ship

this Surronian starship has an organic, streamlined shape. The overall design has a small pod in front for the bridge and commadn center, which is connected to a large, bulbous engine and power section by a thin neck. The Conqueror measures 28 meters in length, and the sleek, curving hull provides it with maneuverability that belies its size. It is armed with a pair of ion cannons mounted on the command section, and a turret-mounted double laser cannon. (EGV)

Conquest

the Imperial Interdictor-class Cruiser which was patrolling the space near Ithor for smugglers. It happened to discover the Ithorian culture and its knowledge of ecology, and obtained a vast base of knowledge from the Ithorians. Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina describes the Conquest as an Imperial-class Star Destroyer under the command of Captain Alima. This fits in with the Star Wars: Customizable Card Game, which indicates that the Conquest was one of the two Star Destroyers which chased the Millennium Falcon from Mos Eisley. (SCRE, TME, CCG2)

Consolidated Learning Systems

this manufacturer specializes in consumer electronics and appliances. They also provide high-profile business and military computer systems. CLS is one of the many non-voting contributing sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. (CSA)

Construction Crawler

a crane-like device which was used to perform maintenance on tall buildings. The crawler ran along a track that was mounted to the building, and as it moved along the track it worked. Crawlers could clean, fix, and modify the buildings they were attached to. (LO)

Construction droids

huge, 40-story tall machines that are capable of gathering raw materials, synthesizing them into parts, and then building structures. They were built early in Emperor Palpatine's reign, and are still in use by the New Republic. They are often equipped with implosion wrecking balls, plasma cutters, and huge shovels and hammers. Each of these droids is programmed to operate along a specific path, reducing everything it encountered to rubble. This rubble is further smelted and reduced to its component elements within nuclear furnaces. These raw materials are sent on to processing plants within the droid, which modify the materials and create brand new construction materials. These can be assembled in the wake of the droid's path into new buildings based on preprogrammed designs. (DE1, JS, JASB)

Constructor Pods

small, crablike ships built by the Mon Calamari, they are used to build the star cruisers at the Mon Calamari shipyards. (DA)

Consular Ship

any starship registered to a member of the Imperial Senate, they were immune to spaceport and deep-space inspections. When the Emperor dissolved the Senate, he took away the ability to register as a consular ship, thus eliminating any secrets. (SW, SWR)

Container Ship

any of the huge supertransports utilizing standardized cargo containers to move huge amounts of cargo across the galaxy. These ships are very expensive and very slow, and require the use of a smaller transport ship to offload their cargo to its destination, since they are incapable of landing at any spaceport.

There are various classes of container ship:

(WEG, TIE)

Container Transport

any ship designed to moved the various configurations of cargo containers. These 100-meter-long ships have a specialized central section which can grasp and hold several containers for movement to and from storage.

Control

  1. the first of the Force skills which Jedi Knights are able to use, Control is an internal skill which can be used to recognize the Force in oneself and in the universe. (SWSB, IJ)
  2. this was the codename of the Cavrilhu Pirate who monitored security at the Kauron asteroid base. Control was one of the inventors behind the Jedi-containing rooms built into the base. The room used a tight grid of bars which emerge from opposite walls of the chamber to pin a person inside. The bars are pressure-sensitive, and will firmly grasp anything they come in contact with. The room was also equipped with gas-emitting jets, which could be used to flood the chamber with deadly gases. They could also be used in reverse, creating an airless vacuum in the room. When Zothip flew to Bastion, in an effort to obtain compensation for the loss of a battle cruiser at Pesitiin, Control was the only member of the gang to survive the combined defense of Major Tierce and Karoly D'ulin. He had become tired of following in Zothip's misguided footsteps, and allowed the pirate captain to get himself killed. Control then assumed control of the Cavrilhu Pirates himself. He broke off the primary relationship with Moff Disra and the Empire, but agreed to keep producing Preybird forr them. (SOP, VOF)

Control

an Imperial Corvette operative during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Contruum's Pride

this freighter was discovered by Rogue Squadron to be working with the Imperial ship Vengeance Derra IV on Mrisst. The two ships worked together to throw off pursuit while smuggling. It was identified as an Imperial ruse because freighters usually aren't named after virtues. Pash Cracken, also a native of Contruum, couldn't identify the ship. (WG)

Contumely Club

an eating and drinking establishment that caters strictly to non-humans. Droids are also excluded. (RPG)

Convarion, Ait

this Imperial Navy Captain served during the attacks at both Derra IV and Hoth before being given command of the Corrupter. As a Captain, Convarion was charged with terrorizing rebellious worlds in the Outer Rim. After the Battle of Endor, he aligned with Ysanne Isard and brought the Corrupter to Thyferra to help protect the Bacta Cartel. He was known as a cruel and calculating opponent who worked hard to end every engagement quickly, despite the odds against him. When Convarion failed to recapture the Xucphra Alazhi, Xucphra Meander, and Xucphra Rose from the Rogue Squadron, Isard demanded that he round up and execute the families of the Alazhi as a demonstration of her power and his allegiance. He balked, but Fliry Vorru saved him by having already done the job. The test was not removed, though, as Isard ordered Convarion to take the Thyferran Homde Defense Corps and attack the settlement on Halanit. He died on the Corrupter when it was disabled by the Rogues over Alderaan's asteroid belt. The ship could not be saved before it drifted in to the asteroids and was torn apart. (BW)

They guarded their villages against invasion, and were aided in their defense by a huge creature that had been captured by an ancient Cor shaman. The beast once roamed the jungle and ravaged Cor settlements until the shaman bound the creature to the land itself. In reality, the Cor shaman was adept in the use of the light side of the Force, and future generations of Cor had enough sensitivity with the Force to keep the shaman's work vital. The beast was contained as long as the Cor didn't move from their villages, but when Karflo Corporation sought to move them out in order to build a new manufacturing plant, the beast was unleashed. It destroyed everything Karflo tried to do, until Karflo relented and allowed the Cors to return to their villages. (GMS)

this strong-muscled individual was one of the directors of Sleeft Docking Bay Maintenance in Mos Eisley, on Tatooine. He was responsible for several illicit activities undertaking by Sleeft, including the theft of top-notch droid parts from Notsub Shipping. When the Bith Angor Farn mistakenly took the freighter containing the parts, he tried to escape from Ohah and ransom the parts for a huge sum. However, Farn never got off Tatooine. He tried to hide out in the Dim-U monastery, but Ohah received some help from Alliance agents in extricating Farn and recovering the parts. (GG7)

Coral Vanda

a subocean luxury casino operated on Pantolomin. Captain Hoffner ran the vessel, until Han Solo and Lando Calrissian tried to locate him. Niles Ferrier got to the ship first, and spirited Hoffner away. The ship, manufacturer by the Pantolomin Shipwrights, has four upper casinos (the Kossi Room, the Tralla Room, the Deston Room, and the Brint Room, all named for Pantolomin's major land masses), an extensive passenger section, and four lower casinos (the Ventel Room, the Rugot Room, the Saffkin Room, and the Hassi Room). The walls of the Coral Vanda are lined with scarlet greel wood, and most of its gaming tables are inset with sanriv gemstones. Transparisteel veiwports ar everywhere, affording unobstructed views of the ocean. There are sixteen luxury suites and four "adventure rooms" that allow the user to recreate exotic locations.

this aspiring businessman purchased Cryseium Incorporated from Huegu Eib after the Empire rose to power. He grew the company into one of the leading food producers for the planet Demophon. This helped Rigis make a few enemies, and one of those enemies succeeded in murdering him in an attempt to rid Tyed Kant of Gryseium Incorporated. (SN)

Corazon, Sabel Axis

Rigis Corazon's daughter, she took over the Gryseium corporation when her father retired. She launched a furtive plan to undermine the competition on Tyed Kant, in order for Gryseium Incorporated to become a monolpolistic producer of food for Demophon and the surrounding systems. This plan, codenamed Mynock, was foiled by a group of Alliance operatives who were in the Demophon System just before the system's star exploded. (SN)

Corbantis

this New Republic battle cruiser was part of the primary fleet stationed at Durren. When Seti Ashgad instigated pirate attacks on Ampliquen during his attempt to gain control of the galaxy with Dzym, the Caelus and the Corbantis were dispatched to Ampliquen. Both ships were infected with the Death Seed plague by Ashgad’s agents, and once the crews were killed the ships were disposed on on distant planets. The Corbantis was scuttled on Damonite Yors B, but seventeen crewmembers managed to stay alive by huddling near the reactor core. Despite the radiation sickness they were exposed to, the emissions from the damaged power core probably killed off the Death Seed plague and allowed them to survive until Han Solo and Lando Calrissian rescued them. (POT)

Corbit, Jacen

this man was in charge of the Imperial Office of Criminal Investigations during the height of the New Order. He was ordered by Moff Landric to hunt down the thief known as the Tombat. Corbit brought in Zanza Gata to get the job done. (SWJ8)

Corbos

this desolate Outer Rim planet was the site of an experimental mining colony, established in the years following the death of Emperor Palpatine’s clones at Byss. Attempts had been made to colonize the world for several thousand years, but all had failed. The weather on Corbos is extreme, and the ore-processing facility had to be established in low orbit in order to keep it from being destroyed by storms. This meant that the ores produced on Corbos generated very little profit for the miners. In what is known as the Black Rain season, the planet is drenched in a heavy, acidic rain that prohibits any outdoor work. It was here that the miners discovered a species of incredibly huge, Force-sensitive creatures that wiped out the entire population of 793 colonists and required several of the new Jedi Knights to defeat. Tionne discovered that the creature was responsible for many of the destroyed colonies. The planet is orbited by two moons. (JAL)

Cordine

this medicine is often administered via a patch applied to the skin. It is prescribed for patients of Zithrom's Disease, to help hold off the degenerative effects of the disease. (TFE)

Cordioline Trehansicol

this chemical is used to combat infestations of insects such as metalmites. It is sold under the brand name CorTrehan. It must be laid out in such a way that the insects can move around it, but encounter it wherever they feed. The most often used pattern is a series of curlicues leading to a central food source. It has a thick, sweet-sour smell, and takes almost two weeks to effectively kill off a metalmite brood. (VOF)

Corellia

homeworld of Han Solo and Garm Bel Iblis, Corellia is located in the Corellian System, in the Corellian Sector of the galaxy, somewhere near the Core Worlds. It was once a democracy (in the days of Berethon e Solo), and reverted temporarily to a monarchy when Korol Solo tried to raise himself to kingship. Following his hanging, Corellia returned to being a republic (about 250 years before Han was born). Since then, it has become an introverted world, keeping mainly to intself and not getting involved with outside politics. The planet has a temperate ecology, with many large oceans. (SW, DFR, CPL, AC)

Corellia Star

this YT-1300 stumbled upon the Imperial V38 development project late in the Galactic Civil War. Its crew was killed near the Dreighton Nebula, but not before they contacted a flight of Alliance B-Wings. The Alliance pilots were able to recover the freighter and discover more information on the V38 project. (RA2)

Corellia StarDrive

this corporation was formed by a former Corellian Engineering Corporation executive, and had an illustrious - though brief - history. Corellia StarDrive was founded about 1,000 years before the Great Sith War, and created civilian and military craft to rival CEC. In fact, the Old Republic Navy chose many CSD designs over CEC. This success was brought to a halt when a freak shuttle crash killed the entire CSD design team. The corporation never fully recovered from the loss, and was purchased by CEC about 2,000 years after its creation. (EGV)

Corellian Bloodstripes

this Corellian award is represented by a three-centimeter-wide broken stripe if piping that runs along the outer seam of a pair of trousers. There are two levels of bloodstripe awarded. The Second-level bloodstripe is gold, and is rarely given out. The First-level bloodstripe is red, and is usually awarded posthumously because of the heroic deeds required to earn it. Most bloodstripes are earned for courage under fire. The wearer, though, is recognized for simply being a human in the right place at the right time, enduring unusual hardships. The wearer is by no means a superhero. Han Solo is one of the few examples of a living Corellian who has earned First-level bloodstripes. He earned his Second-level bloodstripes for rescuing Chewbacca; he has never disclosed the reason he was awarded the First-level bloodstripes. He prefers to wear the yellow stripes, so as not to receive inquiries on them. (HSL, CSA)

Corellian Brandy

Corellian Cafe

a bar and restaurant located on Nar Shaddaa. (THG)

Corellian Carousel

this starship maneuver was invented by owners of YT-1300 light freighters. To help compensate for the lack of visibility due to the off-center placement of the cockpit, many YT-1300 owners will put the ship into a slow spin during landing. This spin - opposite the position of the cockpit - allows them to get a feel for their location and proximity during landing in tight spaces. This maneuver was later modified to allow pilots to check their position in heavy traffic situations, as well as during a firefight. (TT)

CEC has the advantage of being successful in the civilian market, as well as the simple fact that Corellians are incredibly adept in the areas of starship design. Their military designs are also quite successful. CEC became one of the Corporate Sector Authority's original Contributing Sponsors when the New Order allowed the Authority to gain control of the Corporate Sector. (SCRE, SWSB, CSA, EGV)

The CMG will provide to its members a huge list of services, including information, trade contacts, repair facilities, messaging, and financial services. The CMG operates a multitude of Guildhouses throughout the galaxy. All are well-known for their services as temporary residences, clubs, and bars. (GG9)

Corellian Overdrive

this phrase, sometimes used by Han Solo and Lando Calrissian, is used to denote the need to do whatever it takes to complete a job. It ranges from finagling the rules to rearranging operational parameters, but doesn’t mean cheating in an honest game. (ROJR)

Corellian Rum

an interstellar spirit (CPL)

Corellian Sanctuary

established on Coruscant , this small, domed building was designed to honor those Corellians who died off-world. Because the Diktat of Corellia would not allow members of the New Republic to land on the planet, natives who died while away from Corellia could not be repatriated. So, exiled Corellians built the Sanctuary. Corellians ritually cremate their dead, then use industrial-grade compressors to compact the ashes into a synthetic diamond. The diamonds provide immortality to the dead, and are placed in the black walls of the Sanctuary to represent the stars in Corellia's sky. (BW)

Corellian Sea-ray

a creature native to the oceans of Corellia. (XWN)

Corellian Sector

  1. a group of 24 star systems, or which the Corellian System is the most important. In general, it is an inward-looking group of systems. The sector was particularly introverted during and after the Galactic Civil War, when it did everything possible to stay out of the political and social upheaval. The planets and their inhabitants have been labeled paranoid and distrustful because of their introversion. Much of this was attributed to the enforced laws of the old Empire, which demanded that the humans, Selonians, and Drall in the sector co-exist in relative peace, maintaining the outward appearance of cooperation. (AC)
  2. one of many sectors of the Nar Shaddaa spaceport, it is also one of the busiest. (DE2)

Corellian Sector Fleet

the warships of the Corellian Defense Forces' Space Defense Service. (AC)

Corellian Security Force

known as CorSec, this was the primary law enforcement agency on the planet Corellia during the New Order and the early years of the New Republic. During the reign of Emperor Palpatine, the leaders of CorSec ordered that their divisions accept the insertion of an Imperial Intelligance officer to monitor and coordinate activities with the local Imperial garrisons. After the Battle of Endor, the Diktat of Corellia broke from the New Republic, and transformed the force in the Public Safety Service. (TFE, IJ)

Corellian Slip

this starfighter maneuver is a countermaneuver which can be very dangerous for inexperienced pilots, but has saved a number of skilled pilots in battle. (CCG)

Corellian System

the primary planetary system in the Corellian Sector, the Corellian System is an anomolous system in that it has 5 habitable planets (Corellia, Drall, Selonia, Talus, and Tralus; they are known in the system as the Five Brothers) orbiting the system's primary star, Corell. Some scientists and astrophysicists have hypothesized that the system was "built" by a higher power, since the planets all have similar, strange orbits, and all support life. The three primary species in the system - human, Drall, and Selonian - have moved about quite a bit during the system's life, and all are equally at home on any of the five worlds. (AC)

Corp Commander

the war robot in charge of defending the Queen of Ranroon on Dellalt. He controlled the other robots in the Guardian Corp. (HSL)

Corporate Sector

this area of the galaxy originally was set aside by the Old Republic for corporations to use for mining raw materials. It was created after the experiment at corporate control in the Expansion Region failed. Several hundred systems - all devoid of intelligent life - made up the original Expansion Region Corporate Sector, and corporations could purchase the use of entire systems under the watchful eye of the Republic. Huge corporations began moving into the area, hoping to acquire a piece of the huge profits it was generating. The corporate executives were bound by the Old Republic's Senate until Emperor Palpatine rose to power. Under the New Order, executives convinced the Emperor to expand the Corporate Sector to include nearly 30,000 star systems. Eleven new intelligent species were discovered, but their existence was kept secret by the power-hungry corporations. The executives agreed to pay Palpatine a percentage of their corporate profits if he would allow them to manage the sector by themselves, to which Palpatine agreed. Thus was born the Corporate Sector Authority and the CSA Security Police force. The current Corporate Sector is bordered by the Aparo and Wyl Sectors. (HSE, CSA)

Corporate Sector Authority

a conglomerate chartered to exploit the natural resources of the worlds in what would later be called the Corporate Sector. Before the Authority was first set up, the Old Republic set aside a group of systems in the Expansion Region for and experiment in corporate control. The profits were enormous, but the internal corporate chafing at Republic regulations led to mismanagement and abuse of the planets and their inhabitants. The various worlds encompassed by the experiment began to experience civil revolts at the corporational misuse, and the Old Republic ordered the Senate to take control of the Sector. In order to placate the corporations who balked at the new control mechanisms, the Old Republic created the Corporate Sector and the Corporate Sector Authority. The Authority was made up of several Signatory Sponsors, Contributing Sponsors, Additional Voting Sponsors, and Non-voting Contributing Sponsors. Each of the fifty-five voting sponsors was allowed to elect one delegate to the Authority's Direx Board. The Direx Board was overseen by the ExO, an Authority figure chosen from outside the ranks of the voting sponsors. The Authority, at this point, had control of several star systems that were devoid of life. When Emperor Palpatine instituted the New Order, the corporate executives petitioned him to allow them direct control over sector resources. Palpatine agreed, in return for a portion of their corporate profits. In theory, the Corporate Sector Authority then owned everything in the Corporate Sector, and was in charge of mining it, guarding it, and using it. The Authority often used slave labor or other forced-labor to obtain the materials from their sources. They even set up a number of scams in which entire races were duped into coming to the Sector for vast fortunes, only to be permanently indentured to the Authority. (HSE, CSA)

A series of tunnels led from the 10-12 remote landing pads to various parts of the domed valleys. Nubblyk perfected the tunnnels during his tenure as town boss of Plawal. (COJ)

Corridor Ghoul

one of the mutated creatures that evolved under Imperial City on Coruscant, the corridor ghouls were discovered by agents of the NRI when they went looking for underground structures to use as safe rooms. They left the ghouls alone, for the most part, using them as a form of natural defense against intruders. The ghouls are four-legged creatures that stand about a meter tall. They have pale skin, large ears, long teeth, and no eyes. They use their ears, in concert with a series of high-pitched screams, to echo-locate their prey. (AS)

this financial institution, headquartered on Coruscant, is most famous for a clerical error which placed Emperor Palpatine at the top of a public list of loan defaulters. Although the list was available for only two standard hours, Palpatine discovered it and began searching for the perpetrators. He immediately remived the entire board of directors, and went looking for more. In an effort to lay blame on a single individual and reduce the attrition rate, Corusca pinpointed Onibald Daykim as the culprit. Daykim fled, and Corusca was eventually allowed to do normal business again. (JASB)

Corusca Jewels

formed from the intense heat and gravity inside Yavin's core, these extremely hard stones have never been found or duplicated in other gas giants. The harsh environment of Yavin often sweeps gems off the core's surface, and some of these jewels landed on the planet's fourth moon. Gantoris used them to construct his lightsaber while under the influence of Exar Kun. Later, Lando Calrissian set up the GemDiver Station operation, and emplyed heavily-armored mining ships to plumb the atmosphere of Yavin for the gems. (DA, SA)

this race of simians inhabits the undercity of Imperial City, on Coruscant. The ogres are covered with a thick pelt of shaggy hair, and are heavily muscled. Their heads are large, misshapen, and triangular, and are split by a wide mouth filled with jagged teeth. They are semi-intelligent, and not very finicky about what they eat. Their exact origins are unknown. (JASB)

Coruscant

a planet in the Core Worlds that was home to the Old Republic, it was renamed Imperial Center by Emperor Palpatine. When the New Republic was born, the planet was renamed to Coruscant. It has two moons, and orbits a small white sun. The planet's entire landmass has been covered (over the thousands of generations spanning galactic history) by multiple levels of the buildings that make up Imperial City. This means that there is little land available for growing food, and no natural rivers or lakes to provide water. To solve the dilemma of feeding and watering millions of inhabitants, many of Coruscant's architects build self-contained ecosystems into their buildings. Engineers have developed a series of huge pipes through which polar ice water is pumped to the cities. Nearly everything on the planet is recyclable, from clothing to packaging and machinery. It was the center of all the Old Republic's activities, and helped describe Galactic Standard time. The Imperial Senate was convened there. When Palpatine assumed control of the Senate and the rest of the government, he established that Coruscant would remain the center of his Empire. He began a massive work effort to shape Coruscant to his desires, including installing a large number of surveillance systems. Following the Battle of Endor, Mon Mothma moved the New Republic onto Coruscant and again re-established the center of the Republic there. This came after the planet was liberated from Ysanne Isard, and the New Republic overcame the threat of the Krytos virus. Unbeknownst to all, Isard's infamous Lusankya prison facility was hidden in the Super-class Star Destroyer Lusankya, which was buried beneath Imperial City. Following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Imperial Inner Circle began attacking Coruscant in an effort to regain the center of the galaxy for the Empire. This attack was driven back just before the Emperor was reborn as a clone, but the damage to the planet's resources was horrendous. Also, the immediate space surrounding the planet was littered with starship wreckage for many years to follow. Once the reborn Emperor was destroyed, the New Republic began cleaning up the planet to make it more presentable as the center of the galaxy. The standard hour and year are marked by Coruscant's local hour and year. The normal Coruscant day is divided into 24 hours, and its year lasts 368 local days. According to Rebellion, Coruscant is located in Sesswenna Sector. (HTTE, DE1, JS, HTSB, ISU, WG, KT, REB)

Coruscant-class Heavy Courier

this Corellia StarDrive starship was similar in many respects to the Hoersch-Kessel Delaya-class courier: a highly-aerodynamic craft designed to transport personnel between planets. The Coruscant-class ship was larger, and had different sections for its components. The engines were arranged in two banks set at right angles to each other, allowing for greater maneuverability without supplemental thrusters.

However, the Thumper is one of the quietest animals known, and makes virtually no noise when it moves. In addition to making good mounts, the Thumper is also a valuable companion in a fight, using its clawed forearms and feet, as well as its thick tail, to combat enemies. (RASB, DFR)

Cracken, Airen

Airen Cracken was born on Contruum some fifty years before the Battle of Yavin. He grew up his parent’s farm, and was particulary adept at modifying and fixing machinery. He later opened a mechanic’s shop, and repaired everything from landspeeders to holoprojectors. He married a Corellian woman namde Josta, and they had two children before the Empire took control of Contruum.

Airen and a group of supporters took to the hills, in an effort to thwart the Imperial forces at every turn. Josta set up safehouses, while "Cracken’s Crew" crippled stardocks, sabotaged mining operations, and destroyed supply depots. As the Imperial commander began spending more and more time searching for specific saboteurs, the natives of Contruum developed their own militia. A hard-fought war was begun, and in the end, the Imperial Moff pulled out rather than waste more effort trying to subdue Contruum.

Cracken recognized that the Empire was not as kind to other worlds in the galaxy, and decided to leave Josta and Contruum to fight for the Alliance. He provided valuable input during the early years of the Alliance, particularly in the areas of special forces operations. His knack for modifying devices to perform auxiliary tasks made him an invaluable teacher, and his bravery in the face of Imperial foes twice earned him the Nebula award. Cracken continued to serve the cause following the Battle of Endor, and became a respected statesman and military advisor for the New Republic. He was responsible for the New Republic's position when the Rogue Squadron pilots resigned their commissions, and also negotiated the transfer of the Virulence to Booster Terrik. When the Battle of Thyferra had been decided, Cracken informed Wedge Antilles that the Rogues' resignations were never actually processed, and they could have them back if the so desired. After they trained the first group of the Thyferran Aerospace Defense Force, they returned to the New Republic and took up the mantle of Rogue Squadron again. (HTTE, TLC, WG, CFG, BW)

Cracken, Pash

a highly-proficient starfighter in the Republic, Pash was the son of Airen Cracken. He flew A-Wings early in his career, and quickly moved up the ranks to become a squadron commander. However, the people serving under him felt that his seeming invulnerablity and ability to survive any situation made them equally invulnerable. Pash's squadron soon started taking losses, and was placed under Varth's unit. Pash used this modification to apply for Rogue Squadron to help save good pilots. He served Wedge Antilles when the Rogues infiltrated Ciruscant, as a prelude to the New Republic taking the planet back from the remnants of the Empire. He later returned to Varth's command, eventually serving at Generis just before the battles against Grand Admiral Thrawn. Pash is the namesake of the Cracken Twist. (TLC, WG)

Cracken Twist

an escape maneuver developed by Pash Cracken in which a team of escort ships maneuvers into an assumed flight path that is altered based on the countdown to the start of the new maneuver. If the maneuver is to start on the count of 2, the correct flight plan is found by adding 2 to the second number of each coordinate. (TLC)

Cracken’s Crew

this is the nackname used by those Contruum rebels who fought alongside Airen Cracken, following the Imperial occupation of the planet. They constantly wreaked havoc with Imperial supply depots and mining operations, and sabotaged stardocks and landing bays. They often left grafitti behind which declared "Cracken’s Crew Says Hello." (CFG)

Cracken's Field Guide

Cracken's Flight Group

the name given to the A-Wing pilots who served under Pash Cracken before he joined Rogue Squadron. The original Group was comprised of the pilots that defected form the Imperial Academy with Pash. During their escape, the Group managed to destroy the Victory-class Star Destroyer Exsanguinator, making them the stuff of rumors and stories. Pash's ability to survive nearly any engagement became legendary, and the pilots serving under him believed themselves equally invulnerable. This served only to reduce their sharpness, and many pilots started getting careless and killed. The Group was assimilated into Varth's command, and Pash joined the Rogues. (WG)

When Exar Kun rose to power as a Dark Lord of the Sith, he took Crado as a possessed apprentice when the Sith holocron exploded and sent shards of Dark Side energy into Crado. Under the spell of the ancient Sith, Crado accompanied Oss Willum to Ambria to kill Master Thon. In a vicious battle with Nomi Sunrider, Thon, and his lover Sylvar, Crado and Oss Willum tried to use the Dark Side creatures of Lake Natth to do their bidding, but were defeated. Crado nearly killed Sylvar because of the Dark Side influence, then fled to escape them while Oss Willum was captured. Crado returned to Exar Kun, then accompanied Aleema to the Cron Cluster, where they tried to use an ancient Sith weapon to destroy the arriving Old Republic fleet. Aleema succeeded in decimating the fleet, but could not control the weapon. In the end, she caused ten stars in the Cron Cluster to explode, killing herself and Crado. (DLS, TSW)

this Imperial Governor was in command of the Koornacht Cluster during the Galactic Civil War. He maintained control of the occupation force left in the Cluster to man the Black Sword Command’s shipyards. He did not survive the Yevethan raids that took place shortly after the Battle of Endor. (TT)

Crom

this first-generation plant is a favorite among terraformers. Like gomex moss, crom survives without much water, and can break down rocky soils into basic nutrients. This converted soil is much more useful for planting second-generation plants like brachniel. (POT)

Cromag

this huge humanoid beast was "owned" by Mosh Pelkan. Cromag was the primary combatant in Pelkan’s gladiator pit, and fought every and any challenger. Many of the challengers were prisoners of Moff Bandor. Cromag had over-developed shoulders and arms, and his ape-like face was dominated by huge eyes which caught every movement near him. Cromag fought in the pit, riding a series of repulsor-disks to keep above an electrified floor. Weapons were at his disposal, when he needed them, hung on the walls of the pit. Cromag was ultimately confident in his abilities, and rarely used weapons where his hands would suffice.

(GCQ)

Cromf

this Garoos was a freelance scout and bounty hunter employed by Mazzic to bring in Lak Jit, after the Devaronian escaped from Wayland. He arranged to deliver the thief to Shada and Mazzic at the Dona Laza tapcafe. (SOP)

Cron

this ancient kingdom was made up of fourteen planets. Eventually, the Cron kingdom became the heart of the Cronese Mandate. (ML)

Cron Cluster

this ancient grouping of stars is located in the Auril Sector. It was amidst six of the original nien Auril Systems. Much of the Clusters was destroyed during the Great Sith War, when Aleema tried to rip the core from one of the stars. She wanted to hurl the star into the midst of an Old Republic fleet, in an effort to destroy the fleet. She succeeded in this, but she also ingnited the remaining stars in the cluster. All ten stars went supernova as a result of the explosion, and formed what was later known as the Cron Drift. The explosion also destroyed three of the Auril Systems, and devastated the planet Ossus. (TSW)

Cron Drift

this area of the Auril Sector, in close proximity to Nespis VIII, the Adegan System, and Carida, is the site of the remnants of a multi-star supernova. (Dark Apprentice says that the supernova contains four stars, but The Sith War comics say that the supernova engulfed ten stars.) During the Great Sith War, Aleema tried to use the Dark Side of the Force to rip the core from one of the stars in the Cron Cluster. She had hoped to destroy the Old Republic fleet that was pursuing the Sith followers, but she hadn't prepared for the possibility of the core igniting all the other solar masses in the Cluster. All of the stars ignited, going supernova at the same instant. Aleema was, of course, killed in the blast, and the Cron Drift was born.

The current stars in the system made up six of the original nine Auril Systems. The rest were destroyed in the explosion.

Following the genesis of the New Order, Ploovo 2-for-1 operated his criminal business from the Cronf Drift. Han Solo and Chewbacca tried to run a clotheslegging operation there, but it failed. After the New Republic defeated Grand Admiral Thrawn, it was discovered that Terpfen had been 'programmed' to meet the Caridan ambassador Furgan within the Drift. (HSE, HSL, DA, DE2, XW, TSW)

Cronal

this Dark Jedi was a scientist as well and an adept with the Force. He attempted to twist the Trailian race into Dark Side monsters via genetic manipulation and Dark Side magic, hoping to bring down the New Republic. His plans were thwarted by a group of New Republic agents, accompanied by Jedi Knights, discovered his castle and defeated him in combat. However, the agents never found his body. (GMS)

a planet in the Ando system, and the sight of one of Thrawn's last attacks prior to his attack on Coruscant. It was attacked by the Star Destroyer Nemesis. (TLC)

Cronese Mandate

this is the first of three sectors which make up the Allied Tion. Made up of 464 habited worlds including the fourteen worlds of the kingdom of Cron, the Cronese Mandate was ruled by the House of Cron. (ML)

Cronus

an Imperial Colonel who survived the death of the Emperor, Cronus was Delvardus' second-in-command. He became the de facto leader of Delvardus' fleet when Daala executed all of the Imperial warlords at Tsoss Beacon. He aligned himself with Daala and Pellaeon after seeing Delvardus' body and a holorecording of the summit. Cronus was a small but well-muscled man, with a full head of black hair. Daala appointed Cronus to be the commanding officer of the 112 Victory-class Star Destroyers she had rounded up following the execution of the warlords. He took the fleet on a galaxy-wide rampage of terror, striking at unprotected worlds and killing countless numbers before splitting up his fleet. He took twenty ships to Yavin 4, to assist Daala in her attack there, while the remainder of his fleet continued its rampage. Cronus was killed at Yavin 4 when a crippled Corellian gunship rammed his Star Destroyer, the 13X, and destroyed it. (DS)

Croym

this Dark Jedi Master discovered the location of the Heart of the Universe and hoped to use it to take control of the galaxy. He secreted the gem away in his tower castle, located inside a barren, cold asteroid. The tower was sealed from the vacuum of space, and was surrounded by a maze of physical and mental traps. Anyone trying to gain access would have to fend their way through random blaster bolts, energy fields, Dark Side creatures, and incredible illusions. Croym lured a group of Alliance agents to his asteroid by making information about the Heart available to them, hoping to discover a Force-sensitive being among them he could twist into as assistant and slave. Unfortunately, the agents managed to see through Croyn's illusions and defeat the maze to recover the Heart. (GMS)

Crozo Industrial Products

this corporation designs and manufactures computer access tools for cyborgs. One of their most popular products is the At-Computer Link. (CFG)

Crseih Station

a space station located on the fringes of the galaxy, Crseih is a collection of asteroids connected by tunnels and accessways. It was built by the Empire (under Palpatine's New Order) as a research outpost. It was built near the dying Crseih star system. The goal of the outpost was to discover a method by which the intense forces of the nearby black hole could be harnessed and used as a weapon. The station was placed under the command of Hethrir by Darth Vader, following his appointment to Procurator of Justice. Hethrir added to the station's mission, using it as a prison. Hethrir's cruelty toward his prisoners caused a rift in the Force which, when coupled with the station's proximity to the crystal star, brought the being Waru into the galaxy. When the Empire fell, after the Battle of Endor, it was believed that the station was deserted by the Empire. However, it was only Hethrir who left, biding his time in secrecy until he could build the Empire back up. Waru remained behind, and developed a great following. Hethrir eventually re-surfaced, and used the station as a sales point for his slaves. He later convened the first session of the Empire Reborn there, only to be thwarted by the New Republic. When Waru consumed Hethrir, Waru returned to his own galaxy.

The station is a hot, balmy workplace, since the shielding which protects the station from the black hole's intense X-radiation give off tremendous amounts of heat. Since the Imperial influence has left, the remaining residents have developed their own society, much of which is based around the religion of Waru. Following Waru's return to his own galaxy, the station was moved away from the dying Crseih system and now orbits Coruscant. The New Republic arrested all of the Imperial supporters on board. (CS)

Crseih System

this double star system once consisted of a blue-white supergiant star and its twin, a small yellow star. When the supergiant exploded, it caused two reactions: first, it collapsed onto itself, generating a large black hole; second, it caused the small yellow star to begin crystallizing. The smaller star, which continued to orbit its double, was now being drawn into the black hole and subjected to the hole's intense X-radiation, further hastening its crystallization. When the Empire built Crseih station nearby, the crystal star was well on its way to being swallowed by the black hole. The intense energy surrounding the system altered the fabric of the Force so radically, that it allowed the anti-Force being Waru to enter the galaxy. The warped Force also affects those with Force-sensitivity, causing them to become listless and suicidal. Luke Skywalker succombed to the intense energies while on the Crseih station. (CS)

Crumbling Lands

this was a rocky, arid region of the planet Moorja. The sedimentary rock of the region had been hollowed out over time by underwater streams and rivulets, and is very unstable. The substrata has also been tunneled out by the boring bruwoses that live in the area. (SWJ8)

Crying Dawn Singer

this vivid white Shashay was distinguished by his red crest and a splash of red on his chest. He was short for a Shashay, and had a large beak and wide eyes. Unlike most Shashay, Crying Dawn Singer was a free spirit, and didn’t fit into their normally-regimented life. He was one of the galaxy’s most famous space singers, and traveled through much of Rayter Sector with his entourage performing for Imperial dignitaries. He was one of the few Shashay which were allowed to leave their homeworld by the Nestmothers, since the credits he earned were returned to Crytal Nest to benefit the entire race. During the Galactic Civil War, the Farool brothers kidnapped him on the planet Najarka. They attempted to gain favor in the eyes of the Empire by blaming the kidnapping on the Alliance. Singer was held on the planet Narg, where he was eventually rescued by the Alliance. (TA)

Crynyd, Arvel

this Alliance starfighter pilot crashed his A-Wing into the Executor's command bridge during the Battle of Endor. The resulting explosion caused incredible amounts of damage to the Star Destroyer's control systems, and the gravity of the Death Star pulled it to its fiery demise. (EGV)

Cryovial

this is the name given to small tubes which can be used to transport chemicals or specimens. The cryovials are surrounded by a freezing agent which is activated with a twist or shake. Once activated, the chemicals reduce the temperature of the vial’s contents to the freezing point, allowing them to be transported without fear of spoilage. (CCR)

Crystal Fern

these silicon-based crystalline formations are strange, transparent growths that are found in some asteroid belts. The best crystal fern specimens have been found in the Hoth asteroid belt, where they have been known grow between neighboring asteroids. The average fern is several meters in height. When conditions are right, they can continue to grow outward, forming tangled webs. The ferns' ability to grow like this, spanning asteroids, has led to theories that the fern is an actual lifeform. The crystal ferns are sought by collectors, scientists, and profit-seekers, although they are incredibly hard to harvest without causing major damage to their structure. (ISU)

Crystal Gravfield Trap Receptors (CGT)

these sensory devices use a synthetic crystal grid to detect fluctuations in the gravimetric plane. They are very effective, but can be inconclusive if used near a large spacial body, such as a planet. They can also be rigged to reflect sensor scans, and are operable from thousands of kilometers away. (HTTE, TLC, LCSB)

Crystal Jewel

this casino is located below the surface of Coruscant, just outside Imperial City. It had changed hands at least fifteen times before it was renamed the Crystal Jewel, and it was the site of the sabacc match in which Han Solo won the planet Dathomir from Omogg the Drackmarian. Under the name Crystal Jewel, it was where Jarril agreed to meet Solo to discuss the strange dealings going on in the Smuggler's Run. They felt the repercussions of Dolph's bombing of the Senate Assembly Chamber there. (TNR)

this floating Mon Calamarian city was the largest of the resorts established on the planet in the wake of the Battle of Endor. It travelled near the planet’s polar caps, providing its clientele with spectacular views of the icecaps and calving icebergs while offering the latest in casinos and gambling games. It was from a base on Crystal Reef that Czethros hoped to begin distributing the spice he mined, once he took control of Kessel. However, all of Czethros’ plans were thwarted by the young Jedi Knights from Luke Skywalker’s praxeum on Yavin 4. They destroyed the initial cache of spice hidden in the arctic polar caps, and then helped remove the Black Sun operatives hidden within the city. (CCR)

Crystal Reef Amusement and Tourism Council

this was the controlling body which managed the resort city of Crystal Reef, on the planet Calamari. (CCR)

Crystal Snake

a transparent reptile native to the jungles of Yavin 4, the crystal snake can be detected two ways: by locating its beady, black eyes, or by watching the light as it refracts through the snake's body. The bite of a crytsal snake is mildly poisonous to most humanoid races, inducing sleep almost immediately. The snake's scales seems to be composed of diamond film. (HTF, JUS)

CRX Tug

this is a nickname for the Cuirilla-Rayl Xylines-class spacetug. (TA)

CR90

A hammerheaded, fast transport ship built by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, often used as blockade runners because of their speed and mobility. They have a modular interior, which can be modified for specific needs. They have a standard crew complement of 46-104, depending on the mission. Some military missions require a crew upwards of 165 men. These ships are 150 meters in length, and can make 60 MGLT at sublight speeds. They are regarded as extremely vulnerable, however, since the primary solar collector and stabilizer fin are located dorsally, and when disabled can cripple the ship's ability to maneuver. (SW, SCRE, SWSB)

The CR90 boasts the following shipboard systems:

During the Galactic Civil War, many Corellian Corvettes were modified to make up for the original design's weaknesses. The main solar collectors and stabilizer fins were incorporated into the hull, creating a long, pod-like shape instead of the angular shape of the original design. Most other shipboard components remained intact. (TIE)

When he discovered the Codex, Hakbret uttery destroyed the Cthol race and stole the Codex for his own uses. (GMH)

Cu-pa

this brightly-colored beast was a distant cousin of the tauntaun, but had evolved as a warm-weather creature. There were found on the planet Nam Chorios, where they were used with limited success as mounts by the Therans and Oldtimers. Their mental capacity was vastly inferior to that of a tauntaun, which is not very bright to begin with. The coloration of the cu-pa ranges from pink and pale blue to tan and golden, and many have combinations of these colors. (POT)

Cult of M'dweshuu

this ancient Nikto brotherhood was formed shortly after the Nikto race discovered the existence of the M'dweshuu Nova, well before the formation of the Old Republic. Many Nikto believed that the powerful ability of the Nova to affect life on Kintan was worthy of admiration, and developed a cult formed on the basis that they were as powerful as the Nova. The Cult rose quickly to power, and controlled much of the planet in the years leading up to the arrival of the Hutts in the Si'Klaata Cluster. With the arrival of the Hutts, the Cult lost much of its control, and was thought to have been disbanded. However, some 21,000 years later, the Cult re-emerged, and once again gained the support of the Nikto people. The Cult rose quickly, and Churabba the Hutt was forced to take military actions against the Cult to ensure her control. She bombed the Cult's headquarters, killing many of its leaders and leaving it to die. Much of this battle went unnoticed by the Old Republic, which was deep in the throes of the Sith War. It is believed that remnants of the Cult survive even today, hoping once again to rally the Nikto against their Hutt masters. (GG12)

Cundertol

this Bakuran Senator served on the New Republic's Defense Council during the Yevethan Purge. He was strongly xenophobic, but hid it well during Senate and Council sessions. However, Cundertol was also prone to drunken stupors, consuming great quantities of Doan wine when he couldn't handle Senatorial pressures. He detested Etahn A'baht, and once referred to the commander of the Fifth Battle Group as General "Eating-A-Boat." Note that this jibe only works if one of the following is true: the Basic language is very close to the English language, or "eating a boat" is an English translation of a Basic joke. (SOL)

Cuplatt, Felben

this employee of Cosmohaul Shipping was a staff aide to Vice President Crizby Rumbo. It was Cuplatt who monitored the loss of cargoes to pirates. Cosmohaul had been receiving escorts from the New Republic, since many of the attacks on Cosmohaul ships were waylayed by supposed Imperial agents. The New Republic was forced to withdraw its escorts to shore up defenses on military fronts, and Cuplatt was left with the task of finding mercenaries to escort the cargo ships and ambush the pirates. (SWJ9)

Cuthas, Naroon

this dark-skinned human, noticeable by his long hair and moustaches, was Jabba the Hutt's majordomo before Bib Fortuna acquired the position. The Essential Guide to Characters says that Jabba killed Cuthas when his usefulness wore out. However, Tales from Jabba's Palace indicates that the aging Cuthas was demoted, and became Jabba's personal talent scout. He discovered the Max Rebo Band one night in Mos Eisley. (TJP, EGC)

Cutlass

this Imperial Patrol Craft survived the fall of Emperor Palpatine and remained near the planet Sev Tok. It intercepted the Argent Lady after Xalto Sneerzick’s emancipation virus went amok among some R5 droids. The captain of the Cutlass figured it was an unarmed cargo vessel, despite the fact that the crew was seven people short due to a logistical problem. The Cutlass’s crew boarded the Argent Lady, but the freelance mercenaries hired by Felben Cuplatt managed to overtake them and escape with the Argent Lady intact. (SWJ9)

Cutter, Hugo

a member of the Red Moons mercenary unit, Cutter was a former student at the prestigious Imperial Engineering Academy. Recognizable by his thin build and unruly red hair, Hugo was expelled from the school because of his fascination with blowing things up, rather than creating them. His parents were part of the Imperial nobility, and they tried to reduce the embarrassment of having their son expelled by locking him up in an attic. Cutter eventually escaped, and joined the Alliance. He used his demolitions skills - which were ad-hoc and spur-of-the-moment at best - for the Alliance, and met Andrephan Stormcaller. Stormcaller recognized the unique potential of Cutter, and recruited him to join the Red Moons. He was part of the team sent to Gabredor III to rescue the children of the Cantras Gola ambassador from the Karazak Slavers Guild. A high-ranking New Republic general once said that "Hugo Cutter is best described as a high-yield bomb looking for a target without a guidance system." (SWJ8, TFE)

Cutter’s Way

this Lantillian short hauler was modified by its original owner, from a pleasure ship to a freighter.

Cynabar

this was an alias used by Platt Okeefe to prowl the newsnets during the Galactic Civil War. Her secret was discovered by Andor Javin and his V1-CH droid, after searching through hundreds of thousands of combinations of syntax, language, and grammar. The droid discovered that the word "Cynabar," when translated into Ithorian and then displayed using Huttese character system, reveals something that looks like "Plttke." Javin then put the pieces of puzzle together, noting that Cynabar and Okeefe both disappeared from Nar Shaddaa when the Empire nearly caught Cynabar on the vertical world. (SWJ8)

Cyperill

a type of tree that grows on Chad, the leaves of teh cyperill appear almost like hair. (QE, GG4)

Czethros

this tall, broad-shouldered man had close-cropped, moss-green hair. A silver cyborg implant wrapped completely around his head, and had several access ports jacked directly into his skull. The implant covered his eyes, and a single red optical laser allowed him to see. One of the more powerful lieutenants in the Black Sun organization, Czethros was imprisoned in the Kessel spice mines after being arrested by Imperial officers on Ord Mantell, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Czethros and his companion, Briff, had been trying to capture Han Solo by threatening to kill Chewbacca. Solo countered by stealing Czethros’ starship and flying into several Imperial no-fly zones and committing other infractions. Han returned to Ord Mantell and rescued Chewbacca just before a squadron of stormtroopers arrested Czethros and Briff. Czethros found employment on Kessel as an assistant to Moruth Doole, and later returned to Ord Mantell upon his release. Czethros never forgot his Black Sun connections, and soon found employment with Durga the Hutt. After Durga's demise, he decided to lay low and became a respectable businessman, and was influential in the yearly planning of the Blockade Runners Derby. This served as the perfect front from which to rebuild Black Sun in his own image. It was Czethros who then arranged for Solo to act as Grand Marshall of the 93rd Derby, all the while plotting his revenge against Han. His initial plans failed, but Czethros was undaunted. He knew that he was rebuilding a criminal empire through the remnants of Black Sun, and would soon have enough resources to eliminate Solo once and for all. Czethros continued to expand his organization, learning from all of Black Sun's previous mistakes. He tried to take control of much of Cloud City's revenues, including SkyCenter Galleria, but was again foiled in his plans by Lando Calrissian and the Solo children. Sometime later, Czethros placed key Black Sun agents in high positions around the galaxy, and developed a plan which used precision communications to simultaneously activate them. On cue, they would disrupt New Republic governments and provide enough distraction for Czethros to move in and take control. First, however, Czethros tried to take over the spice mines of Kessel. His plan nearly succeeded, but the Jedi Knights Jaina Solo, Zekk, and Lowbacca managed to foil his communications plan and eliminate the threat. New Republic forces were quickly dispatched to Kessel, and Czethros was forced to flee. He was unable to get away cleanly, however, and fell into a vat of molten carbonite after tripping over a dead mine worker. His frozen form was recovered by the New Republic and taken into custody.

C2-R4

a droid who approached Wuher in the alleyways of Mos Eisley, seeking asylum from the Jawas just before Ben Kenobi and Luke Skywalker booked passage aboard the Millennium Falcon. C2-R4 resembles an R2 unit in its basic shape, but it is covered with various bulbs and box-shaped appendages. Two whip-like extensors and two armatures sprout from the droid's central section, and much of its dome has been replaced with a toothy grill. He was modified over the years to perform a number of household and kitchen tasks, but was abandoned on Tatooine. The Jawas wanted to take him apart for scrap, but Wuher rescued him after seeing Greedo killed in the Mos Eisley cantina. Wuher had just gotten the idea to use Rodian pheromones in the liqueur he was brewing Jabba the Hutt, and he asked C2-R4 to help him brew it. (TME)
