a mammalian race native to the planet Laboi II, they are furred snakelike creatures which survive the planet's intense weather. They live in packs which roam the planet in search of ovolyans, all the time making sure that they don't fall prey to the ovolyans themselves. The largest male is considered the pack leader, although true leadership comes from age. The laboi have cultivated unique, carefully-tended gardens of crystals, and they seem to have a limited form of telekinesis which allows them - especially the older females - to agitate the molten rock and crystal to form beautiful, subtly colored crystals. These crystals are highly desired on many Core Worlds. (GG4)

Laboi II

the second planet in the Laboi System, Laboi II has a year which encompasses about 4,050 standard hours. However, Laboi II has a slow, retrograde orbit causes one side of the planet to remain sunward for about 2,020 hours. During this time, the planet's sun, Er'Dox Kaan, heats one side of the planet to the point where rocks begin to melt. When coupled with the fact that the other side of the planet is locked in sub-zero temperatures, strong winds are created at the terminus which help dsitribute the heat and cold evenly. This allows minimal life to exist on the planet. Laboi II has no natural plant life because of the searing effects of its orbit, but the Laboi, the ovolyan, and numerous species of insects have been able to adapt to the extreme temperatures of the planet. (GG4)

He was employed by the Empire as a scout, exploring the edges of known space in an effort to map out shipping routes for the Empire's growing mining operations. During one of his missions, he came across a group of dishomed colonists, who were actually members of the Alliance. He thought they were just settlers, and he offered his help in keeping them from starving. They tried to convert him to the beliefs of the Alliance, but he declined. He did, however, agree to keep their location a secret.

The Empire, however, following up on his mission, discovered the settlers and interrogated them, learning of Lak Sivrak's ommission about their whereabouts. He was cut off from Imperial employment and chased off, persecuted and outlawed for helping the Alliance.

Seeking shelter on a backwater world, Sivrak ended up on Tatooine, and was present in the Mos Eisley cantina when Obi-Wan and Luke approach Han Solo for passage to the Alderaan system. While there, he met Dice Ibegon, a Florn Lamproid whose Force sensitivity connected with his own. In a strange relationship, the two joined the Alliance. Dice was never sure if Sivrak joined because of her or if he truly cared about the Alliance. Sivrak served as part of the ground force in the Battle of Hoth, but Dice did not survive the Imperial attack. Sivrak despaired, but Dice's Force-image visited him often, taking him back to the cantina and proving to him that, despite his love for her, the Alliance still needed his services. Sivrak's growing competance with a starfighter got him his own X-Wing, and he flew in the Battle of Endor. Unfortunately, his ship was shot down, and he did not survive the crash. His Force-image was strong enough, though, that it joined those of Dice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, and Anakin Skywalker at the final celebration. (SW, SCRE, TME)

The Lancer-class didn't get a fair chance to prove its worth until Grand Admiral Thrawn appeared from the Unknown Regions.

When Obi-Wan showed up years later, asking them to take in the infant Luke Skywalker, Owen refused, until Beru was able to convince him that it would be okay.

Owen then raised Luke as he would his own son, instilling the values of honesty and hard work into the boy. He did his best to keep Luke from realizing his true identity, for he felt that the ways of the Empire would only corrupt the young boy. He masked this by saying that he needed Luke's help on the farm. Owen was a gruff and stern master, always chiding Luke for wanting to spend time with his friends and not at his chores. When Luke saved up enough credits to purchase a landspeeder, Owen went with him to make sure he didn't get taken. He also bought Luke T-16 skyhopper, and worked with Luke to keep it in flyable condition.

When Owen purchased the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, Luke tried to talk him into submitting an application to the Academy early. Owen refused, sensing that Luke was about to continue his father's legacy of trying to save the galaxy through the use of some silly religious belief. He told Luke that he needed to remain on Tatooine one more season, and Luke stormed off. The rift between them never got any smaller, especially when Luke left early the next morning without giving him any warning.

Owen was killed when a group of stormtroopers, tracking down the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, razed the moisture farm after not finding the droids. Owen was portrayed by Phil Brown in Star Wars. He was also portrayed by Thomas Hill for the Star Wars Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (SW, SWR, MTS)

Laser

a device which uses a photonic beam generator to combine coherent energy into packets that can be aimed at a target. Upon striking the target, the packets split the target's molecular structure to varying degrees, based on the strength of the packets emitted. The packets can be generated to lightly stun a target or completely vaporize it. (SWSB)

Laser Battery

another form of starship laser weapon, the laser battery uses a self-contained atomic battery to generate electromagnetic energy. This means that laser batteries are large weapons, unsuited for small starships. They are also much more powerful that laser cannons, but generate intense amounts heat, and must be cooled after each shot. (SWSB)

Laser Cannon

these versatile weapons are used on starships. They can be mounted almost anywhere, provided that they can be powered separately from the ship's main power. There are different sizes and configurations of laser cannons, from small, single cannons to the quad-laser cannons. They employ quad-helix prismatic crystals to generate a laser beam, which is focused through a polarized alloy. The color and size of the beam can be modified, allowing a ship to sometimes fire "invisible" lasers as part of a surprise attack. The physics of these invisible shots, however, are not detectable by most sensors, and cannot be easily targetted. (SW, SWSB)

The lasers fire in a pattern, two at a time, and the pattern repeats every 90 seconds. Moff Bandor, to make the maze even harder, installed a low-level tanglefoot field on certain subsquares. The object for prisoners of the chambers was to traverse the maze from one side to the other without getting shot up by the lasers. (GCQ)

After her training, she served at the University Faculty Medical Center on Ralltiir, where she first heard of the Alliance from a friend who survived an Imperial interrogation. Her own beliefs and feelings were dedicated mainly to helping the sick, and she grew frustrated at the Empire's bureaucracy surrounding everything she did. After joining the Alliance, Aurin was assigned to the crew of the Pharos. When she was assigned to the assault team that went to Selnesh to liberate Gebnerret Vibrion, she found that her training came into conflict with her duties. Commander Briessen told Aurin that, if she couldn't rescue Vibrion, then she would have to administer a fatal dosage of medicine to keep Virbion's knowledge a secret.

Lemelisk, Bevel

Lemelisk began his infamous career with the Old Republic, designing starships with Walex Blissex. He had trouble controlling his naturally violent tendencies until the Republic ordered the design and development of the Victory-class Star Destroyer. Lemelisk put himself into the work, creating the basis for a new generation of capital ships that eventually grew into the Eclipse-class terrors of the subsequent clones of Emperor Palpatine. After Palpatine rose to power, Lemelisk was sequestered at the Maw Installation, and was chosen by Grand Moff Tarkin to build the first production Death Star. He was an overweight man with pale features, including spiky white hair. He was killed by Emperor Palpatine for not fully reporting any possible flaws with the first Death Star. Palpatine had him eaten alive by the piranha beetles from Yavin 4, but not before Palpatine had his mind and his memories transferred into a waiting clone. He has served the Empire ever since, in seven cloned bodies required by numerous executions for failure. Lemelisk was responsible for the design of the Tarkin warship, and repaired the flaws of the first Death Star for the battle station that was built near Endor. When the Empire began to crumble following the deaths of Palpatine and Thrawn, he became indentured to Durga the Hutt, and helped Durga create the Mineral Exploiters. The mining ships were a ruse for the real plot in Durga's mind, the creation of a new Death Star. This was the real reason for his serving Durga: to revamp the old designs and created a new super weapon. He redesigned the old Death Star, removing nearly everything but the superlaser itself. This new design was dubbed the Darksaber, since it appeared to be a huge, space-going lightsaber when the superlaser was activated. However, Durga's frugality and Sulamar's ineptness meant that Lemelisk was forced to build with second-rate, outdated materials and components. On top of that, Durga insisted that Lemelisk use the captive taurills as workers, and they were too easily distracted to perform a quality job. Lemelisk reworked many systems himself, in order to keep the setbacks hidden from Durga's eyes. In the end, too many poor systems and too much inferior material told him that the Darksaber would never function properly. When the New Republic infiltrated the Darksaber, Lemelisk slipped away in the confusion, and escaped in a maintenance pod. He was captured by the Yavaris and taken to Coruscant for trial.

Lianna

  1. an industrial world located in the Allied Tion sector of the galaxy, Lianna has been under the rule of outside forces for much of its history. It was originally conquered by the Tion warlords, then was controlled by the Kingdom of Barseg as the Old Republic brought peace to the galaxy. The Senate basically ignored Lianna, though, and it continued to be ruled as a traditional territory. Some three centuries before the Battle of Yavin, the Old Republic Senate decided that the planet, under the rule of Barseg, was not being allowed to flourish. The Senate took control, but the planet continued to be misused as an industrial center. Two hundred years later, Seinar Technologies established its presence there, but the company was taken over by Kerred Santhe in a hostile maneuver that created Santhe/Sienar Technologies. Santhe moved the company's headquarters to Lianna. Under the control of Kerred's granddaughter, Valles Santhe, the planet remained independent, although it was a supporter of the New Order. The Lady Santhe quickly instituted home rule following the Battle of Endor. The New Republic respected the decision, but surviving Imperial forces launched a series of reprisal attacks on the planet. The Lady Santhe threatened stop building TIE Fighters if the attacks didn't stop. The threat, plus some well-placed bribes, allowed Lianna to remain neutral by special charter of the Empire. Lianna has 1 moon, a day which lasts 22 standard hours, and a year which encompasses 370 local days. (DESB, ML)

Licha In

this Gree world was one of the first to suffer from the degeneration of Gree society, several millennia before the Battle of Yavin. In the most ancient days of Gree civilization, Licha In was a nexus for hypergate transportation and the terminus for most of the farthest-reaching hypergates. The native Gree of the planet, as they became more reliant on technology, separated into small city-states that competed for supremacy based on their ability to control their technology. Rulers of the city-states fought wars for food, slaves, and devices, and have isolated themselves from the rest of Gree society. Most modern Gree consider their Lichan relatives to be backward and ignorant, and the primary examples of what happened when the Gree lost the ability to create new technology. A temperate world of large islands, Licha In rotates on its axis once every 24 standard hours. Its year lasts 364 local days. (SWJ8)

Lictor-class Dungeon Ship

based on a Mandalorian design, Rendili StarDrive's Lictor-class dungeon ship is a 764-meter-long prisoner transport vessel. Sections were designed with variable environments to create conditions which were as uncomfortable as possible. Other will-breaking devices present were sirens, electric shockers, and various gas emission systems. When the Empire began using these ships to transport captured Jedi Knights, they installed energy shields based on the Universal Energy Cage around each partition. Life support systems were also run at minimal levels. Each Lictor-class ship was given enough of a navigational computer to hold two jump coordinates: the prisoner transfer planet and the final destination. This provided a defense against prisoners hijacking the ship. Each Lictor-class ship was equipped with 10 quad turbolaser batteries a 2 tractor beam projectors. They were manned by a crew of 860, 46 gunners, and 800 security wardens. They could transport up to 9,000 prisoners; 1,000 of them could be housed in special holding cells. (DE1, DESB)

Life Crystal

the chief export of the Rafa System, the life crystal is a gem which has starnge and wonderful properties. It has the ability to alter a human's normal life expectancy, sometimes multiplying it fourfold. A life crystal can also affect the holders dreams, and has been known to cure certain mental conditions. They are grown only on 11 planets and a few asteroids, all of which have environments which duplicate that of the Rafa System where the crystals originated. T. Lund Phuna wears a small life crystal around his neck.

The true purpose of the life crystals was revealed when Lando Calrissian, Vuffi Raa, and Mohs discovered the Mindharp. When they learned of the incredible ruse maintained by the Sharu race, they learned that the life crystals were really a device used by the Sharu to collect the intelligence and knowledge from all subsequent generations of Sharu, keeping them effectively hidden from the threat they perceived so many eons ago. The life crystals drained the energy from the Sharu as well, adding to the image of a simple, old Toka and maintaining the Sharu deception.

The reason life crystals don't have the same effect on off-worlders is that the life crystals are too far from the Sharu computer banks. Without the close linkage, the life crystal absorbs the intelligence and life energy from those near the crystal's holder, channeling it into the holder. (LCM)

The thick boles appear to be fibrous, glassy, pigmented trunks growing from 2-12 meters tall, depending on the growing conditions. They grow atop a wide disk; the underside of the disk is covered with the thin, kilometer-long root systems which grow straight down into the soil and keep the tree upright. The branches of the tree are made from the same crystal-like material as the trunk, and grow straight out from the trunk. The very end of each branch angles sharply upward, and ends with a single life-crystal. The lower branches are older, and the crystals they produce are larger than those of the younger, upper branches. They life crystals have to be removed by a laser, and grow back in about a year. (LCM)

Life Witch

a strain of human females who have the power to prolong a male's life by five years, the life witches exist only on the planet Leria Kerlsil. They announce their heritage by using the title 'Ver' in addition to their surname (as in Karia Ver Seryan). They prefer to call themselves life bearers, since their powers allow them to extend a male's life by five years, if the male agrees to marry the life witch and perform the blood kiss. If the male agrees to the blood kiss, the life witch is then indebted to Support the male for five years, giving him the vitality and strength of a young man. After five years, though the life witch must withdraw the Support or die. She must the recover her strength before she can marry again. The male is doomed to die either way, for he can no longer survive without the life witch's Support. All life witches are sterile, incapable of bringing a child into the world. Thus, they are very rare even on Leria Kerlsil, spontaneously occurring every so often. (AC)

At this time, he turned the Lightning Rod over to his apprentice, Zekk. Zekk used it to strike out on his own as a bounty hunter, but soon relaized that he should be at the Academy. So, he returned, and used the ship to find Bornan Thul and fight the Diversity Alliance. (HTF, SHA)

Lightsaber

traditional Jedi weapon, used much like a sword. It consists of cylindrical handle in which sophisticated circuits channel a beam of light through a series of jewels, which modulate the blade's size and amplitude. It was considered one of the Jedi students' final challenges to construct their own lightsaber. Many Jedi Masters stressed the lightsaber as a true test of their apprentice's progress, for the the lightsaber's power is great. A true Jedi Knight only uses the lightsaber for defense, never attack, and there is a great deal of patience involved with learning this. Some Masters also use the lightsaber as a way to get their apprentices to focus their minds on the Force, for it takes a great deal of skill to wield one.

The mechanics of a lightsaber are simple, although the application of them takes great skill and concentration. A novice Jedi Knight should be able to create his first lightsaber in about a month. A trained Jedi Master can, in a hurry, could construct one in a few days. Note that the Star Wars Journal: The Fight for Justice indicates that a Jedi is given his lightsaber on his first day of training. When activated, internal power cells create photoelectric energy which is focused through one, two, or three multi-facted crystals. The energy is formed into a tight, parallel beam of coherent packets. These packets are emitted through a positively-charges, continuous energy lens which projects the packets away from the lightsaber. The packets are almost immediately attracted back to the lightsaber by a negatively-charged, high-energy flux aperature, and then continually recycled to create the glowing blade. The packets are recycled by a superconductor back into the power cell for re-energizing. The entire process is completely contained. No energy is lost, since the light in the blade is recaptured. No heat is generated, either. The only energy loss occurs when the blade strikes an object.

When Obi-Wan Kenobi began teaching Luke Skywalker how to use his father's lightsaber, Kenobi began by showing Luke the basic body positions used by the Jedi. There were seven attack positions, and four defensive positions. Each attack or defense position flowed into the next, creating a smooth, continual motion. To perform them all in sequence takes concentration, skill, and stamina. (SW, SWR, SWSB, TOJ, SE, JLS)

He was intercepted during a run by Han Solo, who had come to Anobis to discover the reasons behind the war. Solo boarded the Rude Awakening and discovered the nature of Lilmit’s cargo, and planted explosives to destroy it. Lilmit was forced to jettison the weapons cargo before it exploded inside his ship. Sometime later, Lilmit was given a cargo of spice to transport from Kessel, although he was still in Czethros’ employ. While docked on Kessel and hoping to escape Czethros’ takeover of the world, he was detained by Anja Gallandro. As he explained his role in the civil war on Anobis, he told her of the plan Czethros had implemented to further his own gains. His talking helped harden Anja’s resolve to defeat Czethros, and although he was caught on Kessel, Lilmit managed to escape safely when the Jedi Knights brought down his plans.

an old smuggler, Lo Khan ran afoul of a smuggler named Uxbeg while trying to undercut him on the Gamor Run. Lo Khan had stolen Uxbeg's cargo, destined for Spadda the Hutt on Aikhibba. Along the way, he met Luwingo, and the old smuggler decided to take the big Yaka along as a partner. However, at a stopover, Uxbeg tried to ambush Lo Khan. That was when Luwingo took a blaster bolt for Lo Khan, but merely shrugged it off and took out Uxbeg's goons. Lo Khan and Luwingo delivered the cargo, and although they got shortchanged for hijacking it, the settlement set them both up for life. They "retired" to Nar Shaddaa, but still made small runs with Lo Khan's starship, the Hyperspace Marauder. (DE1, DESB)

(CCG9)

Lobot

Lobot was born to a slaver, and was learning the trade from his father when they were waylayed by pirates. Lobot was himself taken into slavery, while the pirates killed his father. Lobot managed to escape the pirates, and made his way to Cloud City. He survived there by stealing from the wealthier visitors and residents, until he was caught and convicted. The Administrator-Baroness Ellisa Shallence saw some kind of potential in Lobot, and offered him a choice: a long jail sentence or a lifetime of service to Cloud City. Shallence had long since realized that only a droid or cyborg could efficiently control the outpost's various operations, and gave Lobot the chance to become a cyborg computer liaison. Lobot agreed to become Shallence's cyborg, and was fitted with a Biotech Aj^6 cyborg enhancement. He had a special brain wave enhancer affixed to his head, which increased his intelligence and allowed him to interface directly with the station's central computer. However, the neural implants required by the wrap-around module eroded the speech centers on his brain. This resulted in a speech pattern that contained minimal sentences. He worked on Cloud City for fifteen years before the Old Republic fell, serving out his sentence in dutiful fashion. He was later freed from his service, but chose to remain on Cloud City, and was named chief administrative aide to the Baron Administrator. He worked with good administrators and bad ones, but he was especially critical of Raynor, who was incompetent and inept. When Lando Calrissian challenged Raynor to a high-stakes sabacc match, Lobot secretly aided Calrissian and helped the rogue win the ownership rights to Cloud City. When Lando proved to be a more than competent administrator, Lobot again threw himself into his work, and even helped manage some of Calrissian's less lawful endeavors. Following the intervention of Darth Vader and the subsequent loss of the outpost to the Empire, Lobot was left behind on Cloud City to battle the rebellious Ugnaughts who revolted against Imperial rule. The aliens damaged Lobot's external enhancer, which modified some of his memories. When Lando returned to Cloud City, Lobot initially thought he was an intruder. Calrissian repaired the module, and Lobot helped him disarm the bombs placed by the Ugnaughts around the outpost. He later helped Calrissian displace the Imperial forces on the station, but left Calrissian's service when Zorba the Hutt took control of the outpost. He resurfaced a number of years later to work with Lando again, on GemDiver Station. Lobot was portrayed by John Hollis in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

this plant, the third of six wildly-orbiting worlds in the Lomabu System, was chosen by the Empire as a penal colony. It was located close to the Imperially-controlled system of Aida. A group of several hundred Wookiees was imprisoned here at the time of the Battle of Hoth, a fact which Tinian I’att and Chenlambec used to lure Bossk into a trap. The Wookiees on Kashyyyk provided the coordinates of the planet to them, in order to get Bossk to chase Han Solo there. An oceanic world with several long chains of archipelagic islands, Lomabu III was chosen for its unusual sandy beaches. The sand is actually a ravenous form of carnivore that swarms around anything that walks on it, eating away immediately upon contact. The tiny creatures move about by waving tiny flagella, and their motion appears wave-like. Tinian and Chen were able to rescue the Wookiees imprisoned there by making the local Imperial Governor, Io Desnand, believe Bossk was at Lomabu III to poach Wookiee pelts.

a native of Churba, he was an Imperial Intelligence agent working for Ysanne Isard. He resembled a taller, younger Willhuf Tarkin in nearly every aspect. He was a thin, hawk-faced man with a sharp widow's peak. He has a nearly perfect memory, which he used to his advantage. He spent some time working with Gil Bastra on Corellia, where Bastra continually got under Loor's skin and kept the agent off-balance. When Bastra forged IDs for Corran Horn, Iella and Diric Wessiri, and himself, then fled the system to defect to the Alliance, Kirtan Loor began what would become a life-long quest to hunt them down. Bastra thwarted all of Loor's attempts by leading him down false trails, using Loor's near-perfect memory to his advantage whenever possible. Loor finally succeeded in capturing Bastra about two and a half years after the Battle of Endor, but Bastra died during interrogation before divulging any useful data. Loor was then recruited by Ysanne Isard to hunt down Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron. She used the fact that Corran Horn was now in Rogue Squadron as further incentive. However, deep down, Kirtan Loor was frightened of Corran Horn. He knew that Horn was more violent and driven to escape than Loor could imagine. Loor knew that, if Corran Horn ever caught up with him, that Horn would shoot first and ask questions later. When Isard began plotting to return a diseased Coruscant to the New Republic, Kirtan became the go-between for Isard's secret agent within Rogue Squadron, who was believed to be Tycho Celchu. Using an implanted code phrase, Loor contacted his agent and obtained vital information on the plan to have the Rogues infiltrate Coruscant to gain information on its defenses. Loor played his part to perfection, keeping Isard abreast of the Rogues' activities. Isard, however, had more plans for Loor. She knew that when she turned Coruscant - already infected with the Krytos virus - over to the Republic, she would need an agent on the planet. She chose Kirtan for this duty, much to his chagrin. He was chosen to head up the Palpatine Counterinsurgency Faction, which he did with the best of his abilities. When Fliry Vorru was set loose by the Republic to head the Imperial City People's Militia, Loor was caught in Vorru's web and rendered a subordinate in the plans Isard had for Coruscant. He became fed up with the situation, not to mention the growing ability of the New Republic to fend off Imperial attacks, and offered himself and a great deal of data to Nawara Ven. Ven was acting as Celchu's lawyer, in the trial to discover the murderer of Corran Horn. Loor knew that Celchu wasn't responsible, and offered to provide this information to Ven in exchange for certain freedoms. Ven agreed, and met Iella Wessiri to bring him to the Imperial Justice Building. However, while exitting the turbolift to the prosecutor's chambers, Loor was shot to death by Diric Wessiri. Wessiri, believing that the "mystery witness" would be Evir Derricote, waited in ambush and started firing when the doors opened. Ven took a shot in the hip, and Diric was shot to death by his own wife, who believed him to be an assassin. (XWN, WG, KT)

An Imperial attack on the rebel outpost resulted in both sides being decimated, and Garik himself sustained multiple injuries. He hid from the remaining Imperial, and eventually made it back to Pantolomin. His parents then shipped him to their homeworld of Lorrd, when he recovered from his injuries and decided to join the Alliance. His "death" was reported shortly before the Battle of Yavin, and broke the hearts of many young girls. Among most of the Alliance personnel, Gariik was known as "The Face" because of the popularity of his cherubic face, although the battle left him with a few scars. He bought his own A-Wing, and trained in it on his own. He eventually became a pilot with Comet Squadron, but was forced extra-vehicular in order to avoid a proton torpedo. In his debriefing, Edor Crespin told Loran that he'd never amount to much, and would never repay the debt he owed the Republic for serving the Empire. Loran snapped back, telling Crespin that he was "just following in his footsteps." Crespin demoted him from pilot ranks, and Loran thought he'd never fly again until he made the cut to join Wraith Squadron. Loran also served as te squadron's insertion expert and part-time cook. For his part in rescuing the Night Caller during Apwar Trigit's attack on Talasea, Face was promoted to Lieutenant. (WS)

Her abilities as a pilot earned her a position in Rogue Squadron, and she was part of the team sent to Mrlsst to obtain the Phantom cloaking device. Following Groznik’s death on Rorax Falken’s asteroid lab, Elscol became moody and chafed at Wedge Antilles’ command. During the battle for Eidolon Base, Elscol single-handedly took out the Victory-class Star Destroyer Harrow, against Wedge’s orders.

She hired Sixtus Quin and his soldiers as par t of her new army, and developed guerilla techniques used to remove Imperial forces from power during the New Republic’s early years. She worked to remain just outside the Republic's jurisdiction, and was able to assist Rogue Squadron during the Bacta War by infiltrating Thyferra's ground-based defenses. As the Battle of Thyferra moved toward becoming a victory for the Rogues, Elscol and Iella Wessiri captured Fliry Vorru as he tried to escape the destruction.

She took a standard M-3PO droid and modified its programming, adding a brokering chip and some scrounging subroutines. She buried the routines under code-phrase activation, so that only a precise series of vocal commands would activate them. This M-3PO droid was later known as Emtrey, and made its was to Rogue Squadron following the Battle of Endor. Losca, however, perished in the Battle of Hoth. (WG)

Lost City of the Jedi

a hidden, underground city found on Yavin Four, the Lost City of the Jedi was created long ago by the Jedi Knights. Its entrance is formed by a 2-meter cylinder of green marble hidden deep in the rain forests of the moon. The exact location of the entrance was kept secret by the Jedi, although the existence of the City has been known for years. Kadann even knew the City existed, but he never found the exact location. Once the circle of marble is opened, a tube-shaped transport descends to the city itself, which was a technological marvel of its day. The Jedi Library is located in the City, the storehouse of all the greatest Jedi lore and knowledge. In order to preserve the secret of the City and its location, the ancient Jedi programmed droids to guard and protect it. These droids were the only residents of the City until the Jedi Knights hid the boy Ken there, for safe keeping until he could emerge as a Jedi. The City was eventualy destroyed in the battles between Trioculus and the New Republic. (LCJ, EGC)

Lost Ones

a gang of misfits and bullies living under the cities of Coruscant, the Lost Ones were one of Zekk's rivals for freedom underground. The Lost Ones painted grafitti to mark their territory, and their symbol - a cross inside a triangle - was the primary marking. When Zekk was kidnapped by Tamith Kai, his incredible sensitivity to the Force prompted Kai and the leaders of the Shadow Academy to return to Coruscant and capture the Lost Ones gang. Those with Force-sensitivity were given training in the use of the Dark Side, while others were given training as stormtroopers or other military positions. Jacen Solo and Tenel Ka tried to stop the abduction of the Lost Ones, but were stunned before they could help. (LO)

Lotiramine

this substance is often used by crimelords to keep their subordinates from revealing too much information if arrested or captured. By itself, lotiramine is harmless. However, when it interacts with certain interrogation drugs, such as skirtopanol, the combination induces chemical amnesia. If too much of one or the other is taken or administered, the prisoner can die of the chemical interaction, which can take the form of severe convulsions or internal hemorraging. (XWN, KT)

Lott, Arndall

an Imperial General, Lott created his own private Empire following the Battle of Endor.

He is a ginger-colored Wookiee, with a unique streak of black fur that runs around his chest and down his back. His anger was discovered by Tamith Kai when she had to kidnap him to get to the Solo twins. She continually goaded Lowie at the Shadow Academy, trying to lead him down the path to the Dark Side. Lowie was eventually captured, but was rescued before he could be turned to the Dark Side. Lowie returned to Yavin 4, and created his own lightsaber of molten bronze light. Later, he returned to Kashyyyk to attend his sister, Sirrakuk, in her rite of passage to adulthood. There, following an attack by the Shadow Academy, Lowie rescued Sirra as she battled the Nightsister Vonnda Ra in the depths of Kashyyk’s jungle. He managed to save Sirra before a syren plant consumed her.

Lucazec

this is the homeworld of the Fallanassi. It was invaded by the Empire, which hoped to turn the Fallanassi to its own uses. The Fallanassi resisted long enough to escape off-planet, but left behind hidden messages for its children, who had been in schools on other worlds. The Empire left a small garrison there, hoping to capture a returning Fallanassi and make them read the messages. The garrison remained there after the Battle of Endor, oblivious to the change in government. It agents nearly captured Akanah, but they were cut down by Luke Skywalker. (BTS)

Lucern, Cradjius

once the owner of Marqo's cantina, in D'larah on Demophon, Lucern took control of Marqo's when the former owners fled the planet prior to the explosion of its sun.

Lucern provides a small percentage of his take to the G'uotr Network. (SN)

Lucky Bantha

this freighter stopped on Trilos, then went to Atraken in search of salvage. The owners were credit-pinching cheapskates who purchased the least expensive spacesuits they could.

Ludo Kressh

this ancient Sith magician was Naga Sadow’s contemporary rival for the position of Dark Lord of the Sith. It was Kressh who was chosen to lead Marka Ragnos’ funeral procession. Kressh’s faction believed in maintaining the status quo within the Sith Empire, rather than attempting to expand it, as Naga Sadow thought. Their opposing viewpoints led to a skirmish at Ragnos’ funeral. The ghost of Markos Ragnos foretold of the impending downfall of the Sith Empire, should the two continue to struggle. Neither heeded the former Dark Lord’s words, and a civil war erupted within the Sith Empire. Ludo Kressh believed that Jori and Gav Daragon were advanced scouts for an Old Republic war force coming to eradicate the Sith, a position which gathers some support among the Sith lords. As Sadow took control of the Empire, Kressh rallied his supporters in an attempt to overthrow Sadow. They fled to Ziost to plan their attack. A timely discovery of the treachery with which Sadow took control of the Empire led to further support, until Kressh was ready to launch an attack on Sadow’s base on Khar Delba. However, Naga Sadow’s real base of power was on Khar Shian, and Ludo Kressh’s forces were drawn into a battle against an undefeatable foe. Kressh was believed to have been killed over Khar Delba, where Naga Sadow’s fleet destroyed Kressh’s forces. However, he managed to survive, and returned to the Sith Empire to take over as Dark Lord. Sadow would have none of this, and began his own assault on Coruscant. The inner strife between the rivals grew until it erupted into the Great Hyperspace War. Kressh and Sadow drew their starfleets into the Sith Empire and fought valiantly against each other. In the end, though, Sadow was able to use the Dark Side of the Force to coerece one of his own starship captains to ram Kressh’s flagship, destroying the ship and killing Kressh in the explosion.

this native of Shesharile 5 learned the ways of graft and corruption early in his career. He started working as a starport officer in the Shesharile System, working his was up to the position of Captain of the Port. He was loyal only to himself, and cared little for the Old Republic or the Empire. He commanded the respect of his underlings, and ruled with a iron fist and a tight bankroll. He also created a dense network of informants who keep him apprised of illegal cargoes. He first collects the standard fees and penalties, then negotiates for an additional percentage to get the inspection crew to take an early lunch break while the smuggler manages to escape. If the spacer is foolish enough to refuse the offer, Luies has never hesitated to throw them in jail or deport them.

Lume Rock

this unusual form of rock gives off light and heat, but is not hot enough to burn flesh. The B'omarr monks used to line walkways with them to convince younger monks that they had sufficient mind control to walk over a bed of hot coals.

when the Imperial operative Shira Elan Colla Brie was trained in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force by Darth Vader, she shed her old name and became the Dark Jedi Lumiya. Lumiya's weapon of choice was not the lightsaber, though, but a new weapon known as the lightwhip. She discovered the lightwhip while searching through an ancient Sith tome during the Battle of Endor. Following the death of the Empire, Lumiya tried to defeat the New Republic with the help of the alien race known as the Nagai. She also tried to use their enemies, the Tofs, in a similar effort. Each time, she was defeated and left for dead, but her incredible strength and cunning allowed her to escape and survive. She was a force that skirted the New Republic, striking when it pleases her against remote locations. She had control of a small fleet of warships, and was supported by a contingent of crimson-armored stormtroopers. (SWG)

Lumni-spice

the rarest form of spice in the galaxy, it is found only on Hoth, deep in the caves of the dragon-slug. The combination of Hoth's environment and the presence of the dragon-slug make lumni-spice difficult to harvest and expensive to purchase. (CSW)

Lumpawarrump

Chewbacca's son, his name is often shortened to just Lumpy. He was a large Wookiee, like his father, but was reserved because he was raised by his mother and grandfather. When Chewbacca finally was given the time to return to Kashyyyk - several years after the formation of the New Republic - he worked with Lumpy to ready the child for the Test of Ascension. The Test was interrupted when Chewie learned that Han Solo had been captured by the Yevetha. Chewbacca left to rescue him, along with Lumpy, Shoran, Dryanta, and Shoran. When Shoran was shot during the initial firefight, Lumpawarump took his place. He himself took a blaster bolt while rescuing Solo, but he continued the effort without complaining. The young Wookiee’s heroic efforts during the rescue earned him the baldrick of adulthood. (WSB, TT)

Lunatic

this was the name given to the remote-controlled machine created by Cubber Daine, Kell Tainer, Voort saBinring, and Eurrsk Thri'ag while they were part of Wraith Squadron. The Lunatic was created to provide a distraction for the Wraiths to escape from Xobome 6, shortly after Apwar Trigit attacked Folor. The Lunatic was built from a smuggling compartment, to which the Wraiths attached an R2 unit, a power gnerator, and a laser cannon. It was designed to resemble floating debris, while masking the presence of the pilot inside. Roughly the size of a large coffin, the Lunatic also was "piloted" by Voort saBinring, who volunteered to fly it because his fat-covered body would protect him from the cold, since the Lunatic would not have much in the way of life support. The Lunatic would be left adrift in space near Xobome 6, to be discovered by Trigit and the Implacable, but was instead caught by one of Trigit's CR90 corvettes, the Night Caller. Voort managed to infiltrate the ship's bridge and subdue its crew, capturing the ship for the New Republic. (WS)

Lurathi Guard

this is one of the most infamous Iotran military orders established on Iotra. Like its brethen - the Kinlandrin Royal Forces and the Jengardin Millenial Warriors- the Lurathi have never engaged in full-scale war on Iotra. (GG12)

Lurians

native to the planet Lur, these creatures have adapted themselves to Lur's harsh, wintery climate. The are small bipedal herbivores covered in thick white fur. The bottoms of their feet are covered in a thick, calloused pad, enabling them to travel on ice and snow. Their large green-blue eyes are adapted to seeing in the snowy wastes. They have a very advanced technology, and have developed some sophisiticated genetic manipulation techniques. This is the reason that slavers often try to obtain specimens of the Lurians, for illegal biomolecular operations. It is rumored that they could bring almost 6,000 credits apiece on the Invisible Market. (HSR)

Lurr

this planet was subjugated by the Empire during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. (CSWDW)

Lusa

a red-gold centaurian child being held on Hethrir worldcraft, Lusa quickly makes friends with Jaina Solo while they are confined to the Empire Youth camp. Lusa's limited Force sensitivity leads her to be culled from the children and sold into slavery. She has a number of small white spots, and is just getting her horns when she is sold as a slave. She eventually is freed with the other children, and was at one time a student at Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. She was captured, along with several other non-human students and assistants, by the Diversity Alliance and held on Ryloth. She was rescued by Jaina and Jacen Solo, and testified against the Diversity Alliance on Coruscant. (CS, TEP)

Lusankya

this planet was supposedly the site of an Imperial prisoner reconditioning facility used by Ysanne Isard. It was later revealed, after the New Republic liberated Coruscant, that Lusankya was simply a prison facility built into the carcass of the Super-class Star Destroyer Lusankya, which was buried beneath Imperial City. The prisoner barracks, interrogation facilities, and office spaces were located within the Star Destroyer, while a mining operation was established in the crust of the planet. It was here that Isard interrogated and tortured her prisoners, all the while conditioning them to react to certain code phrases. When she was satisfied that the prisoners were ready to be released, she removed any memories of their captivity except for the fact that they were at Lusankya. Then, when the prisoners later heard the code phrase, they began mumbling about "Lusankya" before becoming living time bombs and causing great amounts of damage, usually to New Republic locations. If a prisoner could not be turned to her conditioning, they were consigned to the mines, breaking big rocks into smaller rocks for months and years on end. This was deisgned to break any non-cooperative subjects until they might be trainable in the future. The mines were constructed with a gravity-inversion field in place to disorient the miners. The entire complex was located near the Galactic Museum. (XWN, WG, KT)

Lusankya

this Super-class Star Destroyer, built at Kuat Drive Yards under the name Executor, was hidden by Ysanne Isard in a drydock located beneath Imperial City on Coruscant. A series of huge, hexagonal lift cells held the ship ready for deployment. The razing of vast areas of Coruscant's surface, the ship's construction, and its subsequent burial with additional levels of cityscape, had to be masked from the populace by the Emperor Palpatine and the use of the Dark Side of the Force. It was completed just before the Battle of Endor. When the Krytos virus was defeated and Tycho Celchu was found innocent of Corran Horn's death, Isard decided that it was time to leave. She used the Lusankya's turbolasers to destroy the city above it, then lifted free of its lift cells. It then punished the planetary shields and escaped from Coruscant, fleeing to Thyferra. The Lusankya was then placed under the command of Joak Drysso, who tried to destroy the space station used by Rogue Squadron near Yag'Dhul. He barely escaped, and returned to Thyferra. The Lusankya was then placed between the planet and the Rogues' forces as the Battle of Thyferra ensued. However, the surprise of having the Avarice - now under New Republic flags but still commanded by Sair Yonka- and the Virulence - now commanded by Booster Terrik - start shooting at the larger ship left the Lusankya badly damaged. Drysso threatened to ram the dying ship into the planet Thyferra, but he was shot by one of his Lieutenants. The Lieutenant, Waroen, surrendered to Wedge Antilles and the crew was allowed to defect or leave Imperial service. Wedge, the de facto Captain of the huge ship, took the opportunity to marry Corran Horn and Mirax Terrik aboard the Lusankya, preventing any resistance from Booster Terrik, Mirax's father. (KT, BW)

a Yaka cyborg, he found work as a programmer on his homeworld. When he took his family on a planetary tour, they were attacked by pirates. They pirates stole his children, and Luwingo tried to track them down. However, travel throughout the galaxy often requires the use of a starship. When he first met Lo Khan, he tried to save Lo Khan's life by eliminating the goons tracking him. In return, Luwingo felt that Lo Khan would owe him passage on his starship. Though Luwingo eliminated one set of goons before they got to Lo Khan, Spadda had sent another group. Luwingo again saved Lo Khan, and the two have been partners ever since. In between infrequent smuggling runs, Luwingo has continued to search for his family, using his cyborg brain to selectively recall memories of the abduction. (DE1, DESB)

Lwyll

Roa's wife, a strikingly beautiful woman with long, pale blond hair and an elegant face. She never seems to age, as Han Solo noticed when he bumped into Roa and Lwyll on Bonadan. Lwyll was born to a dirt-poor family of migrant laborers, and fought tooth and nail to drag herself up out of that life and make something of herself. She was just as pretty as her sisters, but she had enough common sense to search out the right man, rather than falling for every guy she met. Her main talents seemed to be in singing anf acting, and her career led her to becoming a lounge singer. At one gig, she met the smugglr Roa, whom she had noticed in the audience many times. When she learned that he kept coming back to hear her sing, she fell in live with him - hard. Despite his slightly-illegal business, she worked hard to maintain the relationship. (HSR, CSA)

Lwyll

this was the name given by Roa to his hand-built, one-man fighter. A modified Redthorn-class scoutship, it saw duty during the Battle of Nar Shaddaa. Roa, seeing the Peacekeeper could not bring its engine on-line, began peppering the dying ship with laser fire from the Lwyll. When the larger ship impacted the planetary shield protecting Nar Shaddaa, the Lwyll was caught in the back-blast and propelled toward the moon’s surface. Roa barely managed to keep the ship under control as it plummeted into the ground, and escaped from the ship shortly before it exploded. (THG)

LX-1

one of MerrSonn Munitions' laser-flechette mines. They are recognizable by the concave external surface of the mine emplacement, which absorbs the energy when the mine explodes. When detonated, the mines release huge amounts of energy which is absorbed by the concave surface and expelled by small laser diodes as tiny blaster bolts. (IJ)

LX-2

one of MerrSonn's first self-detonating mines, these weapons used special sensors to determine the proximity of a target, and then trigger their detonators. These weapons were disarmable via commlink hook-up. They were thought to be secure, but members of the Alliance on Calonica discovered their disarming codes and rendered them harmless. They then stole the charges and replaced the mines. (ISB)

LX-4

MerrSonn's self-detonating perimeter mine, these proton weapons were buried a half-meter below the surface. Thermal gravity-sensitive sensors tell the weapon when a large vehicle or person is near, and triggers the detonator. The LX-4 is a refitted proton torpedo warhead, and make up for the LX-2's failings by being impossible to disarm. This causes problems for the Empire as well, since they cannot be stored easily. (ISB)

Lyaer’tsa

Vader destroyed the shipyard. (SE)

Lycoming

this quarantine enforcement cruiser patrolled the Meridian Sector for the New Republic, after Seti Ashgad and Dzym unleashed the Death Seed plague. It intercepted the freighter Zicreex, which was transporting R2-D2, C-3PO, and Yarbolk Yemm to Cybloc XII. The captain of the Zicreex, a Gamorrean named Ugmush, had stopped to try and salvage the exploded hulk of the Empyrean when the Lycoming arrived on the scene. The Lycoming’s captain - a Gotal female - had received a distress call from the Empyrean and was investigating. (POT)

Lyll, Darak

this Alderaanian was part of that planet’s minimal underground. He was known among the criminal element to be a source for spice and other substances.
