T-Wing

a starfighter developed by the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War, the T-Wing never gained much acceptance among pilots. It was a fast craft, but was only armed with 2 laser cannons, and was equipped with weak shielding (20 SBD primary shields and a hull rated at 15 RU). It was a three-winged ship, with one engine mounted on each wingtip. It was a 10-meter-long ship with a top speed of about 110 MGLT. (TIE)

T-11

this JV-Z1/S databank droid served the Old Republic as a military tactics specialist. It was programmed with the details of thousands of skirmishes and battles, from feudal spats to incredible space campaigns. When the New Order was instituted, T-11 was poorly reprogrammed by Imperial engineers to pilot a garbage scow. The slicer who did the reprogramming failed to re-initialize several of T-11’s memory circuits, and this didn’t mesh well with its new programming. T-11 underwent several mutations of its basic subroutines, and its pattern of thought became erratic. The droid developed several distinct personalities, and disappeared only three months after its reprogramming. The droid and its garbage scow were eventually discovered by the Kaarenth Dissension, and was again destined for reprogramming. However, the personality in control of T-11 rebelled and would not condone a memory wipe. The master of the droid pool grew exhausted trying to fix T-11, and eventually assigned it to keep the Dissension’s Skipray Blastboats ready for immediate takeoff. T-11 was quite paranoid, and felt that it was being stalked most of the time. (SWJ8)

The T-16 was equipped with an E-16/x ion engine afterburner, in addition to a pair of DCJ-45 repulsorlift engines, which gave it a top cruising speed of 1,200 kilometers per hour, as well as a 300 kilometer ceiling. The 5.2-meter craft was armed only with four stun lasers, and carried no shields. The top two lasers can be removed in favor of a targetting lasers, and the lower two lasers can be replaced with pneumatic cannons. Luke Skywalker's uncle Owen Lars purchased a T-16 for him to use on Tatooine, which Luke used to fly the canyons and shoot womprats. (SW, SWSB, EGV)

T-3PO

this silver protocol droid served aboard the Subjugator. T-3PO was roughly humanoid, with insectile plating. Programmed with a harsh, female personality, her years of service aboard the Victory-class Star Destroyer made her hate the humans who treated her as a tool. Her programming kept her loyal to the Empire, but it also gave her a sense of being and worth. When the Subjugator was attacked by an Alliance fleet, T-3PO's programming told that she was superior to the other droids on the ship, and so she had to survive the encounter. As the other droids deserted their posts in the confusion, T-3PO realized that her only hope was to follow the Alliance agents accompanying Walex Blissex. It is unknown if T-3PO survived the destruction of the Subjugator. (SF)

T-33

this type of plasma torpedo was known as a shieldbuster, or a rotten egg. The T-33 was designed to detonate at a shield's perimeter, creating in intense radiation burst. This burst was several times more powerful that the combined power of a capital ship's ion cannons, and knocked out the target's shield generators. This allowed particle weapons to finish off the target. The T-33 was one of the New Republic's strongest weapons. (SOL)

T-4a

designation of Cygnus Spaceworks' Lambda-class shuttle. It measures 20 meters in length, has a crew complement of 4, and is armed with 10 Taim & Bak KX5 laser cannons. It has been rated at a top speed of 65 MGLT, with 100 SBD shields and a 25 RU hull. (XW, TIE)

this was a model of flitter built by Incom during the Galactic Civil War. They could be armed with a double laser cannon for police and paramilitary use. (ML)

T-47

an Incom airspeeder which can transport 2 passengers and limited cargo. Because of the T-47's 250 kilometer ceiling, the Alliance modified them for military use on the frozen world of Hoth. Alliance technicians added two fire-linked laser cannons, a power harpoon, and heavier shields. (ESB, RPG)

T-6 Diodem

this device, produced on the planet Arda-2, was used in starfighter targetting controls to establish a positive lock on a target. The natives of Arda-2 produced them for use by the Alliance, but they also produced a non-military version for certain household service devices. Mag Doum secretly recovered used home-service diodems and sold them to the Empire at significant markups. The Empire then installed them in TIE Fighters, and used them to attack Alliance starships. Luke Skywalker went to Arda-2 to protest what the Alliance saw as a direct sale of the T-6 to the Empire, and uncovered Mag Doum's plot. (CSWEA)

T-65AC4

this version of the Incom X-Wing starfighter as produced about ten years after the Battle of Endor. It had speed to match an A-Wing, but was still as rugged and sturdy as the original X-Wings.

T-65c A2

a modified version of the Incom X-Wing. (SWSB, RASB)

T-65D-A1

this version of the Incom X-Wing starfighter was introduced about seventeen years after the Battle of Endor. This X-Wing replaced the astromech R2 unit with additional computer power, providing more maneuverability and increased in-flight options for the pilot. The New Republic began replacing its old, aging T-65As with the T-65D-A1, until Cole Fardreamer discovered that their new shipboard computers were rigged with Imperial detonation devices. The computers had been built under the direction of Dolph, who planned to detonate them from Almania at a specified time. Cole found the detonators while repairing Luke Skywalker’s old X-Wing, which was being refitted with the new computers. He showed the detonators to Wedge Antilles, who had originally ordered the newer X-Wings to replace the old ones. Wedge began recalling the newer ships before they could explode, and new computer systems were ordered to replace the rigged ones. (TNR)

Their skin is thick and oily, and hangs from their huge bodies in heavy folds and wrinkles. The t’landa Til also had two thin arms which ended in four delicate fingers. Their bodies ended in thin, whiplike tails that they carried curled atop their backs. They enjoy keeping their skin moist by immersing themselves in mudpits, alleviating the burden of carrying their immense bulk on their short legs. They also sleep in specially-designed hammocks that support them without the need for a bed. T’landa Tils have two separate hearts and three separate stomachs. (TPS, THG)

T'nun Bdu

this dapper Sullustan merchant worked his way up from the bottom of the shipping business, from being a mate on his uncle's ships to earn money, and eventually buying his own ship.

His New Republic supply convoy, en route to Dantooine to supply the Eol Sha colonists, was attacked by Admiral Daala. Her Star Destroyers lay in wait in the Cauldron Nebula, after discovering the existence of the colony. T'nun Bdu was in command of the convoy, which was stripped of its cargo and set free. Bdu himself was interrogated and then released, and was given just enough time to send a distress call to the Republic before Daala's ships destroyed the convoy. (DA, JASB)

Ta'a Chume

the Queen Mother of the Hapan worlds, she is a devious woman who gave birth to two sons. She would stop at nothing to see her elder son married to a powerful new queen, but he was a pacifist and - in her mind - a weakling. So, she had him assassinated in order to elevate her younger son, Isolder, to the position of heir. When Isolder fell in love with Elliar, Ta'a Chume disagreed with his selection. She also had Elliar murdered, and pushed Isolder to marry a more fitting wife. Ta'a Chume also had a dislike for the Jedi Knights, and when she meets Luke Skywalker, the dislike only increases when Luke bests her in gaining information on Han Solo's whereabouts. She allowed the Old Republic some measure of respect, but when it crumbled and the Empire took over, she became a brutal leader, firming up the Hapan armed forces to keep the Imperials at bay. The Hapan worlds have since enjoyed a measure of prosperity, and Ta'a has been reduced to keeping the various factions from killing each other's heirs in attempts to gain the throne. She pretended to agree to her son Isolder's proposed marriage to Princess Leia, but she was secretly against it, feeling that Leia would bring nothing but the downfall of the Hapan government. She arranged for an assassination attempt on Leia's life, but it failed. Isolder, upon hearing of this, also accused her of killing his former betrothed, Elliar, and his older brother. Ta'a Chume eventually backed off, and let Isolder marry the Dathomirian "princess" Teneniel Djo. When Tenel Ka was born, Ta'a Chume began doting on the child, in hopes that she could twist the child into a "proper" Hapes Queen. (CPL, EGC)

The New Republic desparately needed information on the Yevethan defenses, and ordered reconnaissance of the 13 major Yevethan worlds. Taggar managed to gather a large amount of data on the planet before being overtaken by the Yevethan warship Beauty of Yevetha. Rather than be captured or betray the Republic, Rone programmed his X-Wing to self-destruct as it was drawn into the warship's hangar bay.

His real last name was Doran, but after the death of Kissek Doran, his mother changed their name and tried to start again. Kell joined the Alliance and was a demolitions expert with Page's Commandos. Kell then demonstrated an ability to fly starfighters in simulation, and was given the chance to try the real thing. However, after he crashed a Z-95 Headhunter and an X-Wing in practice - claiming unresponsive controls each time - he was demoted from the pilot ranks. Wedge Antilles was impressed enough with his abilities, though, to offer him a spot with the Wraiths. When Kell realized that Wes Janson - the man who was forced to shoot down Kissek - was also part of the Wraiths, he balked. Wedge Antilles maneuvered him into staying with the Wraiths, however. Kell served as the Squadron's demolition's expert and it's backup mechanic. After the capture of the Night Caller, Kell fell in love with Tyria Sarkin. When the Wraiths were called upon to defend Talasea from an attack by Apwar Trigit, Kell worked hard to protect his fellow Wraiths. For his bravery and ingenuity, he was promoted to Lieutenant.

The pleas indicated that the Yevethans were transporting the prisoners on the warships that met the New Republic's Fifth Battle Group at Doornik-319. Tal Fraan had spent time with humans and other New Republic races, and knew that they would not fire on innocent prisoners. The ploy worked to perfection, as the Fifth Battle Group's K-Wing bombers held off from attacking the Yevethan ships, which opened fire and decimated the Republic's forces. Nil Spaar was not at all happy to learn that Tal Fraan had risked the Yevethan fleet in this way, but he was pleased with the results and kept Fraan as an advisor. When Tal Fraan continued to underestimate the New Republic, and the Black Nine shipyards were lost at Prildaz, Nil Spaar could no longer tolerate his young protcor. Nil Spaar sliced off Tall Fraan’s head with a single swipe of his arm, and left the body for garbage rather than honor it with burial. (SOL, TT)

When Wedge accepted the challenge, Tal'dira then challenged Koh'shak's truthfulness in his business dealings. Tal'dira accused Koh'shak of keeping all ryll profits for himself, and Koh'shak could not refute the claim. Tal'dira took control of the negotiations, and gave the kor ryll to Wedge as a gift, warrior to warrior. Tal'dira later delivered a squadron of Chir'daki starfighters to Rogue Squadron, to supplement the forces going up against the Bacta Cartel.

He was at his best when he worked with his friend, Jan Dodonna. Dodonna's strategies were often paired with Tallon's starship combat maneuvers to create incredibly effective battle plans. When the Empire grew to power, Tallon faked his own death rather than being conscripted into the Imperial Navy. He hid on the planet Tatooine, until a group of Rebels found his hiding place and convinced him to join the Alliance. (RASB, TM)

Tallon, Kay

Adar Tallon's faithful wife. (TM)

Tallon Roll

the starfighter combat maneuver was designed by Adar Tallon, to help pilots compensate if they overshoot their target. The attacking craft closes too quickly on its target, and overshoots it. The Tallon Roll can then be used, as the attacker first levels out, then pulls the nose of his ship upward in a tight spiral. The defender is then the ship which overshoots. The maneuver is often dangerous, as it can temporarily disorient the attacking pilot. (RASB)

Tallon Split

this theoretically simple maneuver was devised by Adar Tallon. In its simplicity, it requires split-second reactions and uncanny reflexes from two fighter pilots, and is especially dangerous to execute. The two pilots fly close to each other, approaching a capital ship. They need to be close enough to register on the capital ship's targetting computers as a single target. At very close range, the two fighters split apart. One continues on its strafing run, while the other is shot at by the capital ship's weapons, drawing fire from the first ship. The idea is that the ship on the strafing run has about five seconds of clear sailing until the capital ship's targetting computer can detect it as a second target. (MTS)

Talmog

an alcoholic drink made from equal parts of ethanol and Lyme's rose juice. (LCM)

Talmont, Eugene

the Imperial Prefect of Tatooine, stationed in Mos Eisley, during the last years of Jabba the Hutt's life. His career as an Imperial servant was unremarkable, and it moved him from backwater world to backwater world. Talmont is quite full of his own self-importance. He was appointed to the post by Tour Aryon after Orun Depp was executed by an assassin droid. This fact frightened Talmont to his core, and lived in fear the entire span of years in which he was Prefect. (GG7, TJP)

Talon

  1. an Imperial Corvette transporting important documents near Turkana when it was intercepted by Keyan Farlander (XW)
  2. an Imperial Interdictor-class starship patrolling the Demophon System during the Galactic Civil War. (SN)

Talon, Matt

the son of a farmer on an agricultural world, Talon joined the First Sun Mobile Regiment as a light scout trooper. Talon was a vicious, lethal soldier, and has been scarred a number of times in the line of duty. The right side of his face was slashed, and Talon opted to let a scar form instead of having reconstructive surgery. For an undisclosed reason, Talon deserted the First Sun, taking their combat armor with him. He wears the armor to this day, as a personal calling card. After leaving the First Sun, Talon wandered the Outer Rim as a bounty hunter until he met the Sullustan Thila. She appealed to something inside of him, and Talon agreed to become her bodyguard. (GG9)

The Talon I is avian in shape, with a rounded body, a pointed nosecone, and upward-curving, wing-like airfoils. The Talon I's Servant repulsorlift/ion engine allows it to travel at speeds up to 1,500 kilometers an hour. The Empire used Talon I cloud cars on several worlds, including Honoghr. Note that the Star Wars Customizable Card game claims the Talon I is capable of speeds up to 1,875 kph. (EGV, CCG9)

Talon Squadron

formed by the New Republic shortly after the Battle of Thyferra, Talon Squadron was one of the newer groups created to help offload some duties from Rogue Squadron.

Taloraan

this gas giant is the largest planet in the Kelavine System, with a recorded diamter of about 100,000 kilometers. It spins very rapidly, rotating once every 12 standard hours. Its year lasts 219 local days. Taloraan hsa seven moons and a magnificent ring system, but it also has an intense magnetic field and suffers from atmospheric ionization. Thus, it has never been fully surveyed. It is located in the Expansion Region. The little exploration that has been done on Taloraan has indicated that, at certain levels within the clouds, habitation could be possible. In acutality, the planet harbors an abundance of life, including the fleft-wauf and sleft-chuffni. Humans have also recently settled the planet's upper atmosphere, living inside colossal island beasts. Taloraan is important because of the abundance of tibanna gas in its atmosphere, and it has been shown that Taloraan’s tibanna gas is breathable at higher altitudes. (SWAJ, RSG)

Talz

the Talz are a race white-furred, four-eyed humanoids from the planet Alzoc III. Their dense fur provides them protection from the harsh cold of their homeworld, and their eyes are adapted to specific purposes. The larger pair of eyes is used for night vision, and remain closed during the day. The smaller pair of eyes allows the Talz to see in the glare of the sun shining off the snow, but are ineffective in the dark. The Talz are calm and good-natured, and are tireless workers. It was this trait that led the Talz to be enslaved by the Empire and used in the mines on Alzoc III. (SW, TB, GG4)

a planet surrounded by double rings. (DCAR)

Tamo Lan

this Carosite served as Shroud Team's medic. A native of Carosi XII, Lan was schooled in medicine before deciding to join the Alliance after killing a Twi'lek who threatened one of his patients. This act, while not condoned, was frowned upon, and he thought it best to move away from the situation. Lan served the Alliance on Baes Logia and at the Massassi base on Yavin 4 before joining Shroud Team, where he treated not only his fellow team members but the orphaned agents they brought in. He also became a sort of protector for the young Aqualish Gondara, the sister of his best friend Karlon, who was killed by Imperial forces on Bresnia. (SWJ10)

Tampion

this New Republic fleet shuttle was assigned to transport Han Solo to the Koornacht Cluster, after Solo was temporarily promoted to fleet Commodore. Tig Permais learned of Solo's promotion, and informed the Yevetha of his arrival. Nil Spaar sent several Interdictor cruisers to bring the Tampion out of hyperspace three hours before it was scheduled to meet the Intrepid.

Tan left her homeworld to become a travelling entertainer and dancer, but ended up on Questal. She established Shilley’s just before the ardanium boom, and was able to profit during its height. She worked hard to keep her bar a neutral ground between law and order, and was privy to much of the underworld information the police force didn’t know. This knowledge allowed her to assist a group of Alliance agents who went to Questal to rescue Tiree. She remembered Tiree coming into her bar, and suggested that he talk to Mosh Pelkan about gaining entrance to Moff Bandor’s palace. (GCQ)

Tan'tro

an Alliance starpilot killed while serving under Keyan Farlander during the ambush of an Imperial convoy near Orron III. (XW)

the Astrolabe's senior survey officer, Tanea was killed near Doornik-1142. (BTS)

Tang-root

this pungent tuber is grown on the planet Bestine. (SWJ9)

Tangle Gun 7

this is a form of anti-riot weapon produced by Merr-Sonn during the early years of Palpatine’s rule as Emperor. These weapons were considered more humane than blasters, although they often proved deadly to the target. The tangle gun fires a large, semi-flexible webbing which is created from naorstrachem mixed with a shrinking agent. The web begins to contract when it comes in contact with a warm surface, such as a living body. The webbing wraps around the target and tightens, trapping the target almost instantly. The problem with most tangle guns - and the Tangle Gun 7 was no exception - os that the webbing often contracted too much, despite efforts to modify the mixture. The target was often suffocated by the intense contraction of the webbing. (CFG)

Tanglefoot Field

this police device which produces a low-intensity force field in a specific location. They are used to slow the movement of rioters. (GCQ)

Tantive IV

a Corellian Corvette ("Blockade Runner") piloted by Captain Antilles, it was the diplomatic ship used by the Organa family on missions for the Senate. As such, it was a consular ship, and under diplomatic immunity. This did not stop Darth Vader from chasing the ship down over Tatooine and boarding it. He was pursuing Princess Leia, who he believed to be a supporter of the Alliance. At the time, Leia was using the Tantive IV to obtain the plans to the first Death Star from Toprawa, then fly to Tatooine to recruit Obi-Wan Kenobi out of retirement. Her mission was intercepted by Vader. Antilles began firing escape pods at random, and had C-3PO and R2-D2 hide in one of them, holding the stolen plans, in hopes that Vader would not fire on the empty pods. (SW, SWR)

Tantra, Zoodia

this former decorated Imperial TIE Bomber pilot was one of the few females in the Imperial Navy. She didn’t care about politics or policy, she just wanted to fly. She was considered a hero of the Navy, having flown nearly sixty missions without failure. However, her sixtieth mission proved tragic, as her escort fighter fired on her bomber by accident while trying to lock onto a B-Wing. Zoodia’s bomber crashed on a small moon, but no attempt was ever made to rescue her. She was rescued by an agridroid which notified the authorities of her survival, but Zoodia had suffered major damage to her right arm. The recovery mission arrived too late to save the arm, which had to be amputated and replaced with a cybernetic prosthesis. The artificial arm, coupled with the Empire’s lack of commitment to rescue her caused her to resent the Imperials, and she blamed the Empire for her pains. She resigned her commission, and travelled a number of backwater worlds before meeting Xalto Sneerzick. Sneerzick’s words rung true with her, although she wasn’t sure if it was because of her emotional state or the fact that a droid had rescued her. She joined the Droid Abolitionist Movement, and became Xalto’s enforcer. She used her Imperial background as a cover for the Movement’s ambushes of Cosmohaul Shipping transports, and then became an engineer when Sneerzick’s team managed to infiltrate Cosmohaul and take control of the Argent Lady. However, like all of Sneerzick’s followers on the Argent Lady, Zoodia was killed by the very R5 droids she was working to free. (SWJ9)

Taratan

this Kubaz was born on the planet Morning’s Bell. It was believed he was captured by the Yevetha when the reptilian race initiated its Great Purge, and held on the Super-class Star Destroyer Pride of Yevetha as a hedge against reprisal by the New Republic. In reality, Taratan and many others had fled Yevethan capture on the Star Morning while Enara maintained an illusion which made the Yevetha believe he was still in the Star Destroyer’s holds. (TT)

Tarkin, Lady

the widow of Grand Moff Willhuf Tarkin, the Lady Tarkin ran the Imperial megonite moss mining colony on Phelarion. She worked her miners to exhaustion in an effort to avenge her husband's death. When Leia Organa was stranded on the planet following her escape from Darth Vader, Leia was chosen as a servant by the Lady. Leia, in this position, helped smuggle the energy-giving moss off the planet. When Darth Vader himself came to Phelarion and confronted the Lady Tarkin about the smuggled moss, Leia realized that she had been using Lady Tarkin's own transponder to call the smugglers. She realized that she had to escape soon. Leia escaped from Lady Tarkin's service, and little is known of the fate of Lady Tarkin. (CSWEA, EGC)

Tarkin, Rivoche

a member of the New Republic's historical branch, she was reporting on the fighting that occurred between the New Republic and the remnants of the Empire on Coruscant. She was stationed on the Emancipator when it was disabled. (DESB)

Tarkin, Willhuf

although his origins and his Imperial service records are sparse, Tarkin had a noticeable career with the Imperial Navy before proposing the infamous "Rule by Fear" doctrine to Emperor Palpatine. His rise to power was smooth; he was promoted from Captain to Moff for taking the initiative and commanding the Ghorman Massacre. It was during this time that he noticed the talents of Daala on Carida, and brought her along with him when he became Grand Moff of the Outer Rim Territories. The two became intimate confidantes, sharing their dreams for rulership along with their passion for each other, even though Tarkin had a wife back on Phelarion. Tarkin's innate evil and cunning was evident in his establishment of the Maw Installation, a secret laboratory dedicated to the creation of the superweapons which would make governing the Empire easier. When the Empire tried to enslave the Mon Calamari, Tarkin took centerstage in the attack. It was at this time that Tarkin obtained Ackbar as his personal slave. There are also rumors that Tarkin was given Ackbar as a slave by an opportunistic subordinate. Ackbar used this period to absorb all that he could about Imperial fleet strengths and weaknesses, and he also learned a great deal about Tarkin's personality. He also learned a great deal about the first Death Star in this way. When the Alliance tried to assassinate Tarkin, they were thwarted by Imperial ships, but managed to rescue Ackbar. Tarkin's major contribution to the Emperor's cause was the Death Star, which he used to rule the Outer Rim for a brief period. Palpatine assigned Tarkin to the Death Star, hoping to quell the various rebellions that occurred in the Outer Rim. However, Tarkin also had a hidden objective in creating the Death Star. Once the battle station was operational, he'd hoped to use it against Palpatine, in an attempt to take control of the galaxy for himself. Palpatine foresaw some of Tarkin's motives, and assigned Wullf Yularen as Tarkin's assistant. Tarkin's personal ambitions and self-confidence got the best of his, though, during the Battle of Yavin. Tarkin refused to evacuate the station, even with the knowledge that the Alliance had found a flaw to exploit. Tarkin Tarkin was killed when the Death Star was destroyed even as he gave the command to fire on the Massassi base. The Empire released an official death notice for Tarkin, but it claimed that he died in a shuttle crash at the Tallaan Shipyards. Tarkin was portrayed by Peter Cushing in Star Wars, and by Keene Curtis for the Star Wars Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (SW, SWR, MTS, XW, JS, DA, DS, CCG, EGC)

Tarkin

this Imperial weapons project was developed in the Patriim System. It combined the Death Star's offensive weaponry and ionic cannons with a new set of engines and defensive shield generators. Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Chewbacca, R2-D2, and C-3PO tried to destroy the station, but were intercepted by Darth Vader while on board. Luke battled Vader while Chewie and the droids disabled the weapon's tractor beams. As the Alliance team fled the station, the Imperials tried to fire on them with the Tarkin's untested weapons. The Tarkin's weapons failed, and exploded when they were fired. The Tarkin was destroyed. (EGC)

Tarong

an avian race evolved from the continual cross-breeding of two avian species once native to the Epidimi System. When the old Republic discovered the system, they found the two species - living on the planet Iri and Disim - were genetically similar, and members from both were transported to the other planet. This simple experiment, over the millenia, has led the to extinction of the two original species and the 'birth' of the Tarong race. The average Tarong is a massive, winged quadriped, with a wingspan averaging around twenty meters. They have tough, leathery skin and long, hooked beaks. Young Tarongs are lighter in color than their older counterparts. Their front feet are almost as useful as hands, and are used to manipulate objects. Their rear feet are incredibly strong, and used for climbing and grasping. They are highly intelligent, and can master languages quickly. They are also very curious and friendly, wanting to learn everything about the beings they meet and considering them friends until they do something to harm the Tarong or its family. If the stranger acts violently, the Tarong will often capture them and carry them off to some remote location to die of exposure. Tarongs do not like physical violence, and will only hunt and kill for food. They live in tribes based on family relations, with the oldest member of the family in control of the tribe. They have a primitive technology of their own, but are extremely curious about the strange devices they found used by the rest of the galaxy. The more a device sparkles or blinks, the more attractive it is to a Tarong. (GG12)

Taroon System

a planetary system, containing Kuan and Bordal, that was invaded and usurped by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Tarpals

this Gungan warrior served Boss Nass as a Captain of the guard. Tarpals patrolled the city of Otoh Gunga, keeping the city safe and under control. When Jar Jar Binks returned from exile, Tarpals was forced to bring the outcast before Boss Nass. Much later, when Jar Jar brought Queen Amidala before Boss Nass, Tarpals was surprised to discover that the Gungan leader had promoted Jar Jar to the rank of General. Like many of the other army officers, Tarpals questioned Jar Jar’s abilities but not Boss Nass’s decision. In the Battle of Naboo, Tarpals followed General Ceel and helped lead the Gungan army against the Trade Federation’s droid armies, and maintained the tide of the battle until the droids managed to destroy the Gungan shields. The battle was nearly lost until Anakin Skywalker disabled the droid control ship. With the droids powerless and adrift, Tarpals and Jar Jar quickly rounded up the automatons and took control of the battlefield. Tarpals as portrayed by Steven Speirs in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, TPM)

Tarpaulin Plant

native to the planet Altor 14, these plants collect water by unique means. During the hot day, they appear to be large balls of green cloth. As needed, a number of broad leaves can be spread out to collect sunlight for photosynthesis. At night, the main ball of the planet unfolds to cover up to 1,000 square meters of ground. The plant simply allows moisture to condense on its leaves, funnelling it back to the center of the planet for storage. (GG4)

Tarrack

an alien race. (SOL)

Tarrens, Drigor

this man was once a member of the Qektoth Confederation, but disagreed with the way the group’s motives were twisted from research to domination. He fled the confederation and received asylum on Uukaablis. Born on a colony near near the Kathol Rift, he remained silent about his defection from the confederation. Drigor is distinguished by the cybernetic replacement in his left eye, the cause of which is related to his history with the Confederation. About ten years before the FarStar found him on Uukaablis, he had learned that the Confederation was growing clones of its employees with enhanced abilities. Much of this work was shrouded in heavy security, and was performed without the knowledge of the employees. When Tarrens tried to tell the other members of this, his Y-Wing was destroyed. His body was recovered and repaired by the scientists involved, and Tarrens was sentenced to death by the Confederation's leadership. It was then that he fled to Uukaablis. The silvery eye stared straight ahead, no matter what direction Tarrens was looking. Tarrens agreed to help the crew of the FarStar expose the Confederation and obtain the cure for the biological weapon that had been contracted by much of its crew, shortly after realizing that he himself was infected.

Tarris 800 Cables

this line of mini-cables can be used in place of a hardware scomp link. Tarris 800 cables can be used to modify a blaster to fire twice with each pull of the trigger. By connecting the cable between the V-4 plug and the trigger adaptor, a feedback loop can be created to send two pulses to the apas connectors, thereby opening the Heter valve twice. (CFG)

Tarro

this alien race originated in the Til system, on the planet Tililix. When the Til star exploded, the planet Tililix was destroyed. Only those Tarro off-planet at the time survived. An estimated 350 Tarro exist in the galaxy, all of them descendants of the Tarro who had survived the destruction of Tililix. The Tarro are a humanoid race characterized by their dark green skin and piercing yellow eyes. They have seven fingers on each hand, and are heavily muscled. They are formidable fighters and weapons-masters, and are known for their stubborn, independent natures. Little is known of their history and culture, given the cataclysmic reduction of their species. (GG12)

Taselda

this ageless woman was among the first Jedi to come to the planet Nam Chorios. She claimed to have been sent to the planet at the behest of her Jedi Master, but it is believed that she and Beldorion went to the planet in hopes of finding some gift that would allow them to more fully use the Force. She was appalled at the living conditions she found, and remained on the planet as something of a leader to the Oldtimers. She kept order in Hweg Shul some 200 years before Callista arrived. When the Hutt Beldorion came to Nam Chorios, Taselda recognized his failures with the Force, and tried to keep him from gaining power. However, the Hutt prevailed, and in the battle her lightsaber was lost. She sustained numerous injuries in the fight, and found herself unable to create another lightsaber. When Callista arrived on the planet, Taselda used her desire to regain the Force as a fulcrum, and manipulated Callista. She hoped to used Callista to recover her lost lightsaber from Beldorion, but the young woman was overcome by the Hutt’s augmented power. Later, Taselda tried to ensnare Luke Skywalker the same way, but he defeated her. (POT)

Tatoo III

this space station was erected in orbit near Tatooine, just after the colonization of the planet. It was built by the settlers of Tatooine, from metals and ores they were able eke out of the desert. It was destroyed shortly after completion when the Obvious Nrivana suddenly rushed at the station during docking and collided with it. An investigation was launched, and it was discovered that the native Tatooinian metals used to construct the station had unusual magnetic properties. Thus, when the Obvious Nirvana approached it, Tatoo III suddenly became a huge magnet. This change in polarity drew the Obvious Nirvana into the station. This one setback marked the beginning of the hardest years Tatooine had ever seen. (GG7)

Tatooine

primary planet in the Tatoo system, this desert world is located in the Arkanis Sector of the Outer Rim Territories. It is close enough to a major hyperspace nexus to make it easy to get to such worlds as Coruscant and Corellia, but its environment makes it one of the most inhosptiable places in the galaxy. The planet's twin suns mercilessly heat the planet, keeping the sodium-rich deserts alive. The planet has a single, natural satellite. Several decades before the Battle of Yavin, settlers arrived to colonize this first world in what was then called the J11.9 system. They coined the name Tatooine from the Jawa name for the planet, Tah doo Een e. The settlers established strongholds on the planet, and many smugglers and criminals have set up operational bases in its wastelands. The settlers there are primarily moisture farmers, extracting what little water they can from the atmosphere for survival. Its location on the galactic fringes makes it a perfect base for smugglers, mercenaries, and bounty hunters. The planet, despite its hostile ecology, supports human life was well as the native races of Jawas, krayt dragons, and Tusken Raiders. The planet's remote location appealed to Owen Lars and his wife Beru, and they lived there with Luke Skywalker for many years. Tatooine's average day lasts 23 standard hours, and its year consumes 304 local days. (SW, SCRE, GG7, TME, ISU)

Native to the planet Hoth, these creatures are often found in large herds, racing across the snowy plains on their large, three-toed feet. They have strong, rough lips that allow them to scrape lichens and moss off exposed rocks for food. This is no their only source of food, for they have also been seen eating carrion and small rodents. They also have a unique elimination system, exuding oils and waste products through pores in their skin. This causes the tauntaun to eminate a distictive odor. They seek nocturnal shelter in caves, since they cannot survive the harsh nighttime temperatures. They were used by the Alliance as mounts during their stay at Echo Base. To pass the time, Alliance soldiers often staged tauntaun rodeos, putting their mounts through various stunts and exercises while trying to create a comradery with the uncooperative beasts. The tauntaun has a unique, cold-resistant blood which allows it to survive on the Hoth tundra. There are a number of species of tauntaun on Hoth, each having a distinct mix of reptilian and mammalian characteristics. The tauntaun, being one of the two primary creatures native to Hoth, is the favored source of food for the other, the Wampa ice creature. (ESB, ISU)

Tavira, Leonia

this small woman had a very severe demeanor. She was married to Tharil Tavira, and her strong will allowed her to quickly fill his position when he passed away. There are some who believe she had him killed, in order to obtain the title of Moff. Still others believe she killed Tharil's first wife in order to marry him. Following Tharil’s death, Tavira cultivated a relationship with Harran Estillo, hoping to use him as a way to gain control of the Priamsta and the People’s Liberation Battalion. Their plans were foiled when it was revealed Plourr was the true heir to the throne of Eiattu, and she returned to take control. Leonia fled with the Star Destroyer Invidious, and after a brief stint with Kavil's Corsairs, started her own pirate organization. She provided the military support with the Invidious, but never actually did any pirating. Once the target was neutralized, she disappeared to her lair and started planning her next moove. She collected fifty percent of all the loot stolen by the pirates, which helped fund her operations. She was the target of Rogue Squadron and the New Republic, shortly after the death of Emperor Palpatine's clone on Byss. Leonia was operating from a base on Suarbi 7/5, a moon known for the Jensaarai sect of Jedi. There, she killed the moon's Imperial governor, claimed to have removed the natives from Imperial control. She alo used her persuasive skills to coerce the Jensaarai and their leader, the Saarai-kaar into believing that they must kidnap Mirax Terrik in order to draw a being known as the Halcyon - Corran Horn, a member of Rogue Squadron - into a trap. She made them believe that killing the Halcyon would eliminate a dire threat to their homeworld anf their families. She continued to make her raids, destroying the Harmzuay and gaining more control over the Jensaarai. However, Corran's infiltration into the Khuiumin Survivors led to her downfall, as he used the persona of an "avenging Jedi" to break up the Invids stationed on Courkrus. Tavira became increasing unable to handle the situation when Corran and Luke Skywalker broke into her fortress on Suarbi 7/5 and rescued Mirax. She tried to wipe out all of Suarbi 7/5 in order to kill them, but her small fleet was attacked by the Backstab and the Errant Venture. Corran also used the Force to project a much larger fleet of ships arrayed against her, and Tavira fled into hyperspace. (XWWP, IJ, HXW)

Tavira, Tharil

this Imperial Grand Moff was dispatched to take control of Eaittu just before Uthorrferrel Cartha was unseated by the Priamsta. Although it was never proven, it was believed that his ambitious young wife, Leonia, killed him in order to obtain his position as Grand Moff.

this youth was Rekkon's nephew, and he moved to the Corporate Sector when his father relocated there. Rekkon relocated as well, and took Tchaka under his wing while his brother slaved away to earn a living. Rekkon's displeasure with the Corporate Sector Authority's policies and practices bled over into Tchaka, and the boy started to act on them. Where Rekkon proferred to act quietly and within the system, Tchaka was impulsive and outspoken. He began to speak out at campus rallies, and was soon a major thorn in the Authority's hide. When he suddenly disappeared, Rekkon began to suspect that Tchaka was incarcerated by the Authority. This was exactly the case, for Tchaka's orations had reached the ears of Security Viceprex Mirkovig Hirken, who had placed Tchaka on his "list" of candidates for imprisonment at Stars' End. With the help of Han Solo and Chewbacca, Rekkon was able to discover the location of Stars' End, but was killed by Torm before he could rescue his nephew.

Teek

a small, white-furred creature living in the Forest Moon of Endor, the teek has incredible speed but not a lot of agility. The teek has close-set black eyes, buck-teeth, and pointed ears with tufts of white fur on them. The Ewoks avoid the teeks at all costs, considering them sure signs of trouble ahead. They are the packrats of the moon's forests, taking shiny trinkets and tokens and exchanging them for something of equal value. For many, the teek's idea of what is equal in value is often skewed.

Teeth of Tatooine

also known as the Valley of the Wind, this is a smooth-floored gulley near Jabba the Hutt’s palace. The Hutt used it to punish those beings that deserved a quicker death than the Sarlacc pit, allowing them to dream up images of fanged monsters before realizing their position. In fact, the Teeth of Tatooine are wind-blown chips of desert sandstone and silica. The being is tied to the valley floor just past dawn, with leather hides wrapped and tied around each limb. As the temperature rises, the winds pick up and the victim begins to sweat. The sweat loosens the leather briefly, giving the victim reason to struggle. However, the leather simply tightens as it rubs the victim’s skin raw and bleeding. The valley is situated such that great gusts of wind rip through it, pushed by the intensely-changing temperatures. The winds pick up small flechettes of stone and propel them through the valley, but the weight of the stones keeps them low to the ground. The stones have been sharpened by scraping along other stones, and become tooth-like knives. The wind-driven stones flay the victim alive. (TBH)

Telak, Kird

this former Imperial scout served the Navy for six years before he became bored with his work. He fled Imperial service and, using the knowledge of trade routes and transportation schedules, became a pirate. The ability to ambush a ship and make off with its cargo came naturally to Telak, who was known to take a number of risks and still come out ahead. He continued to get bored, bu this only served to push him into more and more daring thefts. He is quite obvious in a crowd, with a crown of fuzzy black hair, expensive clothing which has been carefully aged, and a thin goatee and moustache. (TSK)

Telak’s Terrors

this pirate group, led by the charismatic Kird Telak, operated from a based in the underground caves of the planet Seltaya. The base itself is located about 100 meters below the surface of the planet, and is sensor- and enegry-shielded. No external armaments are employed by the pirates, since the only visible evidence of the base are the launch bay doors and the sensor arrays. (TSK)

Telbun

this Kuati term describes a group of selected middle class individuals used as breeders for the Kuati upper classes. Certain members of middle class families are chosen to begin training to be a telbun, which involves rigorous screening and intense education in a wide variety of subjects. When an upper class noble chooses a telbun - there are male and female telbun - the individual becomes the property of the upper class. The telbun's family is well-compensated, but cannot claim any of the upper classes' riches. The child of the union then becomes the heir to the upper class riches. The goal of this arrangement was to remove emotion from the creation of a child, while at the same time eliminating the senseless joining of upper class families through marriage.

The telbun is subordinate to its mate, and is made to wear heavy red and purple robes that hide their bodies from the public eye. They must wear tall, starched collars and high, cylindrical hats. (WG)

Teljkon System

the planetary system in which the wandering starship known as the Teljkon vagabond was first sighted. (BTS)

Teljkon Vagabond

the name given to the mysterious starship that was discovered bouncing around the galaxy about five years before the Yevethan Great Purge. A Hrasskis monitor ship discovered it there, but was unable to track it. The New Republic frigate Boldheart also encountered the ship and tried to stop it, but was disabled by the vagabond. When the vagabond showed up near Gmar Askilon about thirteen years after the Battle of Endor, Hiram Drayson and Alpha Blue got involved. They sent a fleet of ships, under the joint command of Pakkpekatt and Lando Calrissian, to Gmar Askilon to intercept it. They found the vagabond to be a five-hulled cratf resembling a raft. It appeared to be lashed together with huge, organic-looking cables. Its outer hull was translucent and apparently organic. The vagabond maintained a twelve-kilometer distance around itself via hidden sensors, and transmitted a high-pitched signal to any ship which entered the twelve-kilometer zone. If the ship didn't properly respond immediately, the vagabond would shoot to disable it while the vagabond jumped into hyperspace. Lando Calrissian, Lobot, R2-D2, and C-3PO discovered that the initial code being sent by the vagabond represented a subset of the Qella genetic code, and sent the remaining code back to the vagabond. They were admitted within the secure zone, and allowed to enter the outer hull. The ferret ship D-89 tried to enter the secure zone with the same code, but the vagabond had switched to another code. It destroyed the ferret and jumped into hyperspace. Once left to their own devices, Lando's team discovered that the vagabond's hull was constantly adjusting itself, and was able to repair small breeches by simply closing the gap. Along a section of the inner hull, a huge mural depicted thousands of Qella. The interior walls reacted to physical touch, and various responses were garnered from the ship's many rooms. Many rooms had special keys or sigils in the walls which, when touched, produced Qella music or changed the room's color, shape, or musical sounds. The chemical make-up of the rooms could be altered seemingly at will, with various pores extracting and introducing the gases necessary for its inhabitants to breathe. Any room entered by its normal portal would react to the entrance by turning on lights. It was later discovered, by Lobot, that the vagabond was actually a huge musuem carrying thousands upon thousands of Qella ideas, stories, and data on how to rebuild the Qella race. The ship had been launched when the planet Brath Qella suddenly was plunged into an ice age, in order that the Qella could survive the cataclysm in stasis, until their planet was habitable again. Much of the ship mirrors the Qella genetic makeup, from its internal structures to the base-six algorithms which run it (and are based on the Qella genetic code). The ship was designed with the idea that, after the planet had managed to survive the loss of its moons, the vagabond would return to Brath Qella and restart the evolutionary process. When the vagabond did eventually return - with Calrissian, Lobot, R2-D2, and C-3PO still inside - it allowed Luke Skywalker to join them. Luke’s mastery of the Force allowed him to commune with the ship, bypassing the base-six algorithms which baffled Lobot and telling it to let them all go. It then began the laborious process of thawing out Brath Qella and making it habitable again for the thousands of Qella buried under the ice. (BTS, SOL, TT)

Telsor

this Corellian Gunship was part of the Alliance fleet sent to Bakura following the Battle of Endor. (TBSB)

Telti

this desert moon orbits an unspecified world far from the galactic community. It has no atmosphere and supports no known life, but was a source of many different metals and ores needed throughout the galaxy. A mining colony was established on Telti, with special environment domes allowing the miners to exist on the moon. The mining colony supported the Empire only under duress, and went bankrupt after the Battle of Endor. Years later, Brakiss established a droid manufacturing facility there, funded by Dolph and structured to produce droids which would explode when hidden detonators were triggered by a remote signal. It was on Telti that Cole Fardreamer, with the help of R2-D2 and C-3PO, exposed Brakiss’ part in Dolphs’ plans. Brakiss fled the moon, rather than face the New Republic and Luke Skywalker. Luke Skywalker and Brakiss met several years later on Telti, in an attempt to come to terms with each other. The meeting was a failure, and opened the rift between them even farther. (TNR, JUS)

Teltior

an alien race native to the planet Merisee, in the Elrood Sector. They resemble the Meri in nearly every aspect, including their blue skin color and webbed fingers. The Teltiors, however, lack the large brow ridge present on the Meris. (PG)

Tem Eliss

this Iyra from F'tral became a prominent and respected professor at the University of Sanbra. His lectures were always in demand, and students were consistently filling the auditoriums. He was very demanding of his students, but was fair and impartial. However, Eliss was also strongly anti-Imperial in his politics, and often spoke out about the rights of alien species. His manuscript, The University of Sanbra Guide to Intelligent Life, was written to provide cultural guidelines and to detail the goals and motivations of the species of the galaxy. He tried to remain neutral in his writing, but the Galactic Civil War and Palpatine's pro-human policies often colored his words. COMPNOR tried to halt publication of the document and detail Eliss, but Eliss fled into hiding. He was not seen again on Sanbra, although there have been rumors that Eliss joined the Alliance. The document itself began to appear on student computer networks, and eventually was distributed to over 25,000 nodes on 5,000 worlds. (GG12)

Temebiu

Temora

this businessman was a native of Tun Wala, on Arda-2. He was against the selling of T-6 diodems to the Alliance, and refused Luke Skywalker's request to have a protection system developed to protect Alliance starfighters against Imperial ships which used after-market diodems. He was one of the city's executives. (CSWEA)

Tempay

this is one of Gacerian's moons. It orbits the planet 180 degrees from the position of its sister moon, Fortay. The two pass completely around Gacerian once every 37.5 days. It was the site of an Imperial scout base, which was maintained even after the Battle of Endor. Loctaed at the moon's north pole, the base lies directly on the terminus line. Thus, it can monitor the planet below, and the open space beyond, from a single location. (PG2)

Tempest

Temple Atun

one of the Massassi temples on Yavin 4, Atun was left untouched by the Alliance and the Jedi Students after them. Luke Skywalker wanted to keep the temple in its deteriorated condition so that the Jedi could have a link to the Massassi on which to meditate. He often went there to be alone and reflect on the galaxy. (BTS)

Temple of the Blueleaf Cluster

one of the ancient, elaborate structures found in the jungles of Yavin Four. It was nearly destroyed when Vice Admiral Pellaeon and his fleet of Imperial-class Star Destroyers attacked the temple, thinking it was the primary site of Luke Skywalker's Jedi academy. It houses a huge, crystalline object deep inside its main chamber. This crystal glows and throbs with apparent life, filling the chamber with an eerie blue light. The crystal is oily to the touch, and is charged with static electricity. There are reports that the crystal is filled with the spirits of the long-dead Massassi people, and that their faces can be seen inside the crystal. Luke and Brakiss met here during the Shadow Academy’s attack on Yavin 4, but Luke was unable to sway Brakiss from the Dark Side. (GDV, DS, ISU, JUS)

Teradoc

a tyrannical despot active in the early years of Leia Organa Solo's reign as New Republic Chief of State, Teradoc sought to restore the Imperial New Order to the galaxy. He was constantly trying to win control of the remaining Imperial fleet from High Warlord Harrsk, and he used his crimson-colored fleet of Victory-class Star Destroyers to take out Harrsk's flagship, the Shockwave, during Harrsk's talks with Daala. Like many of the surviving warlords, Teradoc had grown fat and lazy by the time Daala convened the warlords at Tsoss Beacon. And, like the other warlords, he perished at Tsoss Beacon when Daala and Pellaeon poisoned them all. (COJ, DS)

Terak

King of the Marauders on Endor, he was talled and stronger than the other Marauders. He was obsessed with finding "The Power," which he felt was the key to the ancient scroll he possessed. The scroll held plans to a starship, which Terak desired to built so that he could terrorize the stars. He enlisted the witch, Charal, to help him find the power. When Noa and Salek crashed on Endor, Terak captured Salek and tortured him, trying to find the location of Salek's ship and its crystal oscillator. This was what Terak belived to be "The Power." Later, he killed most of the Towani family while trying to obtain the oscillator from their shuttle. Having obtained it, though, Terak had no idea how to use it. He tried to make Cindel tell him how it worked, but she was unable to. When Cindel retrieved the oscillator and liberated the Ewoks held by the Marauders, Terak had Charal turn into a bird to lead him to the humans, and kept her magic ring to guarantee her compliance. This proved to be his downfall, for Wicket struck the ring with a stone, causing it to flare to life, burning Terak to death. Terak was portrayed by Carel Struycken in Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. (BFE)

Teroenza

this t’landa Til was employed by Zavval the Hutt to act as the Most Exalted High Priest of Ylesia. In this position, he was actually in charge of obtaining slave labor to process the Hutt’s spice for distribution. Teroenza maintained a lavish suite of offices, and used his resources to amass a wonderful collection of artifacts from across the galaxy. His art collection was extremely valuable, and he kept guards posted at all times. It was Teroenza who sent out a request for a pilot to transfer Ylesian colonists to and from the planet, as well as transport spice to the Hutts. He chose Vykk Drago, who was actually a young Han Solo. While Solo was quite good at flying starships, when he learned of the spice and slaving operations he plotted to breka free of Teroenza’s employment. Working with Bria Tharen, Han managed to destroy a major processing facility and escape, but not before stealing much of Teroenza’s art collections and killing Zavval during his escape. Teroenza was forced to put out a bounty on Drago. Han never was catpured, and Teroenza became increasingly disgruntled with Besadii’s leaderhsip. Following Zavval’s death, Kibbick was placed on Ylesia as a figurehead, answering to Aruk and Durga. Teroenza worked with Jabba and Jiliac to assassiante Aruk, and Teroenza himself murdered Kibbick. However, his part in the death of Aruk was discovered by Durga, who employed Boba Fett on a priority bounty to kill the beast. Teroenza managed to survive the initial stages of the Battle of Ylesia, and nearly captured Bria Tharen and Han Solo when Fett appeared. He killed the t'landa Til and removed its horn as proof for Durga. (TPS, THG, RD)

Terpfen

a Mon Calamari, and Ackbar's chief starship mechanic. When the Empire invaded Calamari, he was captured and sent to Carida for Imperial reconditioning. While there, his brain was surgically altered to remove loyalty centers. He was then used by the Empire to build star-ships, and was allowed to escape during a Rebel attack. He has been used as an Imperial spy since then. He was responsible for sabotaging Ackbar's B-Wing shuttle, which crashed into the Cathedral of Winds on Vortex. He was also responsible for planting a homing beacon on the ship Ackbar took to the planet Anoth, and he relayed the coordinates to Furgan, who used them in an attempt to kidnal Anakin Solo. A great battle ensued on Anoth, but in the end baby Anakin was rescued. Furgan tried to escape, but Terpfen used one of the MT-AT's to destroy Furgan. Terpfen later returned to Calamari to help rebuild the planet's floating cities. (DA, COTF)

Terrain-Following Sensor

a starship component which, when used in a planet's atmosphere, monitors a destination's location and guides the ship toward is using various terrestrial formations as guidemarkers. It can be set to fly as near or as far from the ground as desired. (HSE)

Terrarium City

this architectural wonder, located on the now-destroyed planet of Alderaan, was created from a natural depression in the plains of the planet. The depression was deepened, expanded, then sealed to prevent any industrial waste from leaking into the earth. The depression was then filled with a liquid polymer to the level of the first section of the city. The polymer was allowed to harden, then modified battleships used their lasers to carve out the section into a series of open spaces. A three-dimensional pattern was programmed into the weapons systems of the battleships, creating the intricate floorplan envisioned by the city's designers. When one level was done, more polymer was added and etched by the space-borne lasers. In this manner, eighteen layers of living space were created in Terrarium City. Although the lasers served to harden the polymer while carving it, the polymer could be later reshaped if the inhabitants so desired. Thus, much of the city's population could create their own artwork by manipulating the walls of their dwellings. The entire city was capped by a transparent sheet, from which sprouted a number of thin spires used as turbolift shafts and waste elimination systems. (ISU)

Terrik, Booster

a native of the planet Corellia, Booster was a smuggler and a starship pilot for hire. He was the original owner of the star yacht Pulsar Skate which he used in his endeavors. Following the death of Wedge Antilles' parents on Gus Treta, Booster helped Wedge hunt down the pirates that caused the incident. They never found them, though, because Hal Horn caught up with Booster and sentenced him to five years in the correctional facility on Kessel. When Booster got out, he made sure that his daughter, Mirax, was able to work on her own within the law, so that she wouldn't suffer his fate. When she became involved with Rogue Squadron - and specifically Corran Horn - Booster found himself assisting the son of the man who imprisoned him. Booster did much of this for Wedge's benefit, and was more than amenable to creating a smugglers' haven in the space station orbiting Yag'Dhul, in an effort to keep the Rogues hidden after they resigned their commission to the New Republic. Booster worked hard to make the station defensible, and even installed several operable but non-functional weapons implacements. He even found proton torpedoes and concussion missiles for the Rogue's X-Wings when none were available. In a bold plan, the Rogues left the station undefended and tried to draw Ysanne Isard's forces into a trap. Booster's false defenses led the Lusankya's Captain Joak Drysso thinking that he was coming under fire from nearly 500 missile launchers and forced him to flee. The short battle led Booster to capture the Star Destroyer Virulence when Ace Squadron was dragged out of hyperspace by the gravity shadows of the station and the huge Lusankya. Booster convinced Lakwii Varrscha that the Aces were part of his defenses, and she surrendered. Booster and the Aces then took the Virulence to Thyferra and helped turn the tide of the Battle toward the Rogues. After this heroism and smart thinking, Booster asked for the Virulence in return. Airen Cracken balked at first, but Corran Horn cited an obscure salvage law that required Cracken to acknowledge Booster's right to ownership. This surprised Booster, coming from his sworn enemy's son, but that surprise was quickly overshadowed by Mirax's engagement to Horn. Talon Kaarde helped swing the deal by removing the weapons on board and selling them back to the New Republic. Booster obtained the stripped-down Virulence, and renamed it the Errant Venture. He then gutted this ship and turned it into a huge, floating, general store for smugglers and other pilots. (XWN, BW, SOP)

Terrik, Mirax

a native of the planet Corellia, she was part of the crew of the Pulsar Skate. When the Skate was intercepted by the Black Asp in the Chorax System, she assisted in the rescue of Corran Horn. When she discovered it was Corran she had rescued, she was not happy. It was Corran's father who had sent her own father to Kessel. She often stayed with the family of Wedge Antilles when her father was on a dangerous run. Later, when her father tried to help Wedge Antilles track down the pirates that were responsible for his parents' deaths, Wedge and Mirax became good friends, almost like a brother ans sister. Later, Mirax often helped the Alliance and the New Republic, by smuggling supplies and weapons to Alliance bases. She was an instrumental part of the plan to convoy bacta from Thyferra to Coruscant during the Krytos crisis, but was not part of the convoy when it was destroyed in the Alderaan System. Instead, she and Liat Tsayv had taken a sample of the bacta in the Pulsar Skate to Borleias for examination. The sample eventually made its way to Qlaern Hirf, who used it in the creation of rylca. Mirax reappeared on Coruscant shortly after Tycho Celchu's trial was called off. During the time leading up to the Bacta War, Mirax became increaslingly in love with Corran, despite their familial differences. When Corran asked her to marry him, shortly before the Battle of Thyferra, she quickly agreed. They were married on the Lusankya by Wedge Antilles, in order to make sure that Booster didn't have his say. Then, they were married in an elaborate ceremony on Coruscant. While Corran continued to fly for Rogue Squadron, Mirax started her own import/export business, convincing people that they needed goods that weren't really necessary. When Leonia Tavira started her pirate raids, Mirax appealed to the Republic to let her help catch the young woman, for it would help free Corran up to begin thinking about having a child. However, she was captured shortly after her mission began on Nal Hutta, when the Jensaarai were able to read her intentions. She was held on Suarbi 7/5 until rescued by Corran and Luke Skywalker. (XWN, KT, BW, IJ)

Terrik, Mod

an Imperial Captain, Terrik was in charge of training Davin Felth and the other stormtroopers destined for Tatooine, as part of the search effort for R2-D2 and C-3PO. Terrik's bald head helped him stand out from the rest of the recruits. Terrik was known in Imperial circles as a fearless, highly motiviated leader who was willing to sacrifice his troops. Once on Tatooine, Terrik was placed in charge of the Deserts Sands Zeta squadron, and led the attacks on the Jawa sandcrawler and the Lars homestead. These attacks angered Felth, who continued to grow more disgusted with the Empire. When Terrik ordered his troopers to fire on Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon, Felth used the opportunity to shoot Terrik in the back, claiming that Terrik was a victim of the crossfire.

Teshek

this herd beast is native to the planet Carosi XII. (PG2)

Tessek

a Quarren who was one of Jabba the Hutt's Chief Lieutenants at his palace on Tatooine. Tessek was involved in a number of intrigues. He was working with Prefect Talmont in a plot to kill Jabba, while secretly bribing Talmont's men into killing both Jabba and Talmont. He would then sell any and all of Jabba's criminal empire to Lady Valarian. He planned to keep most of Jabba's "clean" business operations for himself. He had already manipulated many of these businesses into lucrative ventures, with Jabba's blessing. It was Tessek, however, who handled their day-to-day operation, not Jabba, although Jabba was the one listed as the owner.

Tessek had managed to bribe into employment many of Jabba's henchmen, including Ree-Yees, Barada, and many of the Weequays. However, when Tessek encountered a disembodied B'omarr monk who seemed to known all of his plans, Tessek began to panic. He had planted a bomb on Jabba's supply skiff, which he would explode when Jabba left the palace. His plan was to have Talmont intercept the barge at Jabba's Mos Eisley warehouse, where both would die. However, the presence of Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker in the palace put many of Tessek's plans in disarray. He tried to warn Jabba of the danger posed by the Alliance, hoping to keep the Hutt in Mos Eisley. Jabba, though, began to distrust Tessek, and ordered him to accompany the sail barge to the Pit of Carkoon. Tessek was trapped. It was Tessek who finally put all the pieces of Luke Skywalker's plan to free Han Solo and destroy Jabba, but the only audience he could find to hear him out was Ephant Mon, who later linked Tessek to an Imperial plot to destroy Jabba. Tessek tried to escape the palace, but he was intercepted by Ortugg, who held him in the palace until Jabba was ready to depart. Jabba then demanded that Tessek stay near him. When Skywalker's plan went into action, Tessek played along with it, shooting a Weequay who would have stopped Leia from strangling Jabba. Tessek managed to escape Jabba's sail barge before it exploded, and returned to the palace. There, he was captured by the B'omarr monks and his brain was disassociated from his body. As an acolyte, he learned that he had more in common with Skywalker, Organa, and Han Solo than he did with Jabba's ilk, and found the true meaning of freedom. (XW, MTS, TJP)

Teta

this strong-willed female warrior conquered the system of stars and planets now known as the Empress Teta system. In what historians refer to as the First Unification Wars, Teta conquered seven major systems and their primary worlds, including the Koros System. She moved her seat of power to Cinnagar, and ruled with an fair but strict hand some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. She was aided in her unification of the systems by the Jedi Knights, who realized that stability in the region would allow it to join the galactic community and benefit from trade and commerce. She was assisted by Memit Nadill and Odan-Urr, whom she trusted implicitly. So, when Odan-Urr had a vision foretelling the rise of the Sith Empire, Teta believed him and took him to Coruscant to tell the rulers of the galaxy. When they laughed at him and believed him to be an impulsive young Jedi, Teta returned to Cinnagar to prepare her worlds for the attack. Shortly before the Sith rose up, Jori Daragon returned to Cinnagar and was shot down over Teta’s palace. The arrival of the frightened young woman only hardened Teta’s resolve to protect her worlds. In what became known as the Great Hyperspace War, the Tetan forces - led by Jori Daragon, using information provided by her brother, Gav - soundly defeated the Sith fleet near the Denarii Nova. She rewarded Jori by giving her the rights to own and operate Aarrba the Hutt’s starship repair facility. (DE1, GAS, FOSE)

this planet was controlled by Moff Sarn Shild during the early years of the New Order. He had a palatial estate on the planet, and used it as a gathering place for the fleet which attacked Nar Shaddaa. Teth was located in the Outer Rim Territories, near both the Corporate Sector and Hutt space, and so was strategic to Shild’s attack on Nar Shaddaa. Teth’s location led its leaders to believe that it was safe from Imperial domination. Bria Tharen met with the planet’s leaders, hoping to incite them to open rebellion, but she failed.

When the first explorers found their planet, the Teruks realized that they could gain an advantage over their rivals if they could obtain high-tech weapons. During the Galactic Civil War, a band of scouts landed on the planet and were fought over by several clans.

After the Empire forcibly disbanded the Legion, Thall fled the sector and stayed one step ahead of the Empire by seeking employment as a mercenary. However, he found himself fighting battles against cultures that were unprepared for modern warfare, so Thall sought out more noble work. He was eventually hired by the New Cov Boimolecule Company as a security officer, but this was not what he had in mind. He left that job and became a part of the more "civilized" warfare of organized crime. He was discovered by Saujutta-Ok-Topii when he was trying to neutralize a Syndicate One operation. The Pan-preneur and her opponent settled their difference without bloodshed, and she insisted that Thall become part of her team. He agreed, and became the Syndicate’s weapons and tactical expert.

He refused, and was sent to Bakura. After the attack by the Ssi-ruuk and the Alliance;s offer of aid, Thanas only became more disturbed by the New Order's ideal. When the battle was over, he gave up his Imperial commission and joined the Alliance. He remained on Bakura, helping Gaerial Captison restore the planet's government. Their relationship blossomed, and they were married eight years after the Ssi-ruuk invasion. Their marriage produced a single daughter, Malinza, before Thanas was diagnosed with Knowt's disease.

Tharen, Bria

this young Corellian woman was the daughter of Renn and Sera Tharen. A student of archaeology, she was fascinated by the ways of the Jedi Knights, and studied anything and everything about the Clone Wars. At seventeen, though, she decided that her life was lacking something. Just after completing her undergraduate studies in preparation for advanced schooling on Coruscant, she sold her jewelry and joined the religious colony on Ylesia to begin worshipping the Oneness. She became deeply addicted to the Exaltation performed by the t’landa Til, and so worked extra hard in the spice mines, hoping to achieve a higher state of understanding. It was about a year after she joined the colony that she met Han Solo. Their friendship grew steadily, much to Bria’s dismay, for she was a devoted follower of the t’landa Til religion. However, it was Han who discovered her love of archaeology, and this led to Teroenza assigner her the position of archival and cataloguer of his collection fo treasures. Bria was happiest at this point as a pilgrim, and allowed herself to become more and more attached to Han. When Han told her of the true nature of the Ylesian colonies, she initially thought he was lying in order to win her over. She eventually came to realize that he was right after forcing herself to observe the t’landa Til during Exaltations, and worked with Han to escape from the planet. After attending the wedding of Muuurgh and Mrrov on Togoria, they returned to Bria’s family holdings on Corellia. There, Han’s years of swoop riding and scheming with Garris Shrike came back to haunt him, as Bria’s brother and former fiancé’ recognized him as someone else. They were forced to leave Corellia, but not without the support of her fatherm, Renn. They went to Coruscant, where the t’landa Til and the Hutts tried to capture them for their escape from Ylesia. Bria, burdened by the emotional detachment from the Exaltation and by the presumed impediment to Han’s career, left him one day and returned on her own to Corellia. After this, Bria met up with Lanah Malo, and began a crusade against the Hutts and the t’landa Til. She remained on or near Corellia for four years, working with underground resistance there, then disappeared. She resurfaced on Devaron, and was nearly discovered by Han, who was there looking for work. Bria had been serving as Admiral Trefaren’s assistant. At this time, Aruk the Hutt placed a 50,000-credit bounty on her live capture. Bria eventually joined the Alliance, and rose quickly through the ranks. She was the mastermind behind the Red Hand Squadron, and was the primary proponent of the tactics used in the Battle of Ylesia. She was successful in bringing down the Besadii operation there, and secured a huge amount of funding for the Alliance be taking artifacts, spice, and loose credits from the operations there. This angered Han and the smugglers who helped in the battle, for they thought they were going to be paid. This was the final time she parted ways with Han. She then accepted an assignment to support the resistance on Toprawa, where they had received the plans fo the first Death Star. As the Empire tracked the plans to the planet, they struck with incredible force. Most of Red Hand Squadron was killed supporting the resistance, and Bria took a suicide capsule before she could be captured. Boba Fett delivered the news of her death to Han on Tatooine, shortly before Han accepted Ben Kenobi's offer for transportation to Alderaan. (TPS, THG, RD)

Tharen, Pavik

Bria Tharen’s brother, Pavik had many of the physical and personal traits of his mother, Sera. A short, thin young man with green eyes and dark hair, Pavik simply wanted to maintain the status quo within the family, which primarily meant that he could live a sedentary life of luxury. When Bria returned from Ylesia with Han Solo, Pavik was suspicious of the young man, both from a selfish desire to protect his wealth and from genuine concern for his sister. Later, it was Pavik who recognized Han from one of the many scams he ran with Garris Shrike, precipitating Han and Bria fleeing Corellia. (TPS)

Tharen, Renn

this young Corellian man started out as a pilot for a shipping company. A shrewd businessman as well as a pilot, Renn worked his way the corporate ladder until he eventually owned the operation. A private man, Renn bought a lrage tract of land for family estate as a buffer between himself and his neighbors. Renn married a young woman named Sera, who bore him two children: a son named Pavik and a daughter named Bria. Sera’s social machinations grated on Renn, who was unable to confront his wife until Bria returned from Ylesia with Han Solo. Renn felt a bond with Han, and recognized that the young man - no matter what his past held - could someday become a true hero in his own right. He chided both Sera and Pavik for worrying only about their inheritances, and chose to provide Han and Brea with enough credits to get to Coruscant and try to establish a life for themselves. When Bria decided to leave Han, feeling that she was holding him back, she asked her father to help get Han off the wanted list and set up with enough credits to live happily. Renn obliged, feeling for them both in their time of need. (TPS)

Tharen, Sera

whatever emotional gifts Sera had as a young Corelliam woman, she soon lost them after achieving her goal: marrying into a wealthy family. This she accomplished when she married Renn Tharen, the president of a prominent shipping company. She then set out to achieve social standing by waving her husband’s wealth in everyone’s face. Her social responsibilities demanded a family setting, and she gave Renn two children - Pavik and Bria. However, while Pavik seemed to take to his mother’s pettiness, it drove Bria away. After Sera manipulated Bria into an engagement with Dael Levare, Brea fled the family to join the pseudo-religious colony on Ylesia, and was not heard from for a year. When she returned, Sera immediately began to harp on her daughter. It didn’t help that Bria returned with Han Solo, a youth Sera held in low regard because of his origins as a street orphan. Sera invited Dael into the house for lunch, in hopes of driving Han away in shame. When Pavik recognized Han as a con artist who used to work for Garris Shrike, Sera became increasingly agitated. She demanded that he leave, but Renn intervened. Angered and annoyed at Sera’s lack of family values, Renn blamed her for Bria’s disappearance and praised Han for returning her. Sera was unable to comprehend this, and fled to her rooms. (TPS)

She had a good deal of promise, but the oppression of the Empire seemed to dampen her creative spirit. It was later discovered that many of her later works were actually plagiarized versions of works created by the forgotten composer Salyer. She was expelled, and she fled into the wilderness where she had been secretly running guns to the Alliance. She was captured by Imperial agents who had been following her, and was subjected to deep interrogation.

one of the original political prisoners left on the planet Nam Chorios by the Grissmaths, Theras was attuned to the Force. He was contacted by the Spook crystals, which had realized that the drochs used to kill the prisoners were growing in power.

He brought word to the Oldtimers that the drochs could secret themselves on any ship leaving the planet, and that ships of large size could house enough drochs to consume the galaxy. Theras and his followers reworked the planetary defenses to fire on incoming and outgoing ships over a certain mass, in an effort to prevent the drochs from leaving. (POT)

She suddenly became rich by selling holovids of the rancor's feedings about fifteen years before the Galactic Civil War. It was obvious that she cared little for the slaves she sold, which earned her the nickname "The Butcher." She was the Captain of the Arkanian Dawn, the Outer Rim's most feared slave ship. It was a well-known fact that anyone who was taken aboard the Dawn never returned. Of course, this was all the ultimate ruse, engineered by Thila and other anti-Imperials who saw the way Palpatine's New Order was treating aliens and promoting slavery. Thila used complex animation and filming to create the rancor holos, which she placed on the market herself. She then purchased the Dawn and began to make a bigger name for herself, spreading rumors about the slaves she picked up. In reality, the slaves she took into the Dawn were released onto Alliance safeworlds.

Thomree, Dupas

Thomree served as the Corellian Diktat during the early years of the New Order and the Galactic Civil War. He made a deal with Palpatine, which allowed Thomree to rule the Corellian sector as he wished, as long as he paid public homage to the newly-named Emperor. Thomree paid his taxes and supplied war materiel, while doing his best to keep the Corellian sector free of Imperial mandates. When he died suddenly, Daclif Gallamby was named Diktat. (AS)

Thon

Thon

an large, four-legged ceratopsian beast with sharp spikes on his shoulders and strange, upturned mouth appendages, Thon is in reality a Jedi master assigned to the Stenness System and living on Ambria just prior to the Great Sith War. When he first came to Ambria, the Dark Side of the Force was prevalent on the planet. Master Thon pushed the Dark Side back, forcing it into Lake Natth. His experiences on Ambria taught him of the virtue of the Light Side, and he tried to convince other Jedi Masters about the dangers of the Krath. He was supposed to have continued the Jedi training of Andur Sunrider, but Andur's death changed those plans. Instead, Thon became the teacher of Andur's wife, Nomi. Her stubbornness was broken when Thon was attacked by Bogga the Hutt. In the battle, Thon gave his lightsaber to Nomi, and she used it with unusual skill for an untrained Jedi candidate. Thon realized that Nomi was the special Jedi he was prophecied to train, and took her under his tutelage. Later, he was part of the assembly of Jedi Masters who met on Deneba to discuss the Krath uprising in the Empress Teta system. (DE1, DA, COTF, DLS) Thon has been referred to as the leader of the assembly on Deneba, but DLS has Odan-Urr as the leader.

ThonBoka

a Oswaft term that means StarCave, the ThonBoka is a huge nebula which forms a sac-like refuge from the vacuum of space. The ThonBoka is home to a large number of vacuum-breathing species, including the Oswaft. The nebula, about 12 light-years across, is composed of huge amounts of pre-organic molecules. A single hole exists in the sac, and is the only entrance to the StarCave. In the center of the ThonBoka are three young, blue-white stars, each about a lightyear apart from the others. None of them have any planets. In the center of these three stars lies an exact, miniature replica of the cave, built for the Oswaft Elders from every conceivable gemstone in the galaxy. (LCS)

Thorm, Hrekin

this native of the planet Fedalla was typical of his culture. He didn't care who was in control of the galaxy, as long as he and his people were taken care of. He vaguely supportde Emperor Palpatine during the New Order, and similarly gave vague support to Mon Mothma after the establishment of the New Republic. He has many contacts within the industrial circles of the Core, which allow him to maintain a powerful position among the New Republic's councillors. Thorm's general attitude is to "go with the flow" of things, but he can be ruthless and overbearing when he wishes. Thorm was an obese man confined to a repulsorchair, and was the president of the Alderaanian Council. His hair is thinning, but he keeps it meticulously curled. Note that he was called Threkin Horm in The Last Command. (TLC, DA, CPL, JASB)

Thranta

a creature native to the planet Alderaan, a number of thranta were exported to Bespin. These transplanted thranta are the only survivors in the galaxy, following the destruction of Alderaan. The thranta is basically a huge, floating wing, bouyed by a lighter-than-air bladder. They are very docile creatures, and can be easily domesticated. The thranta that survive on Bespin are descendants of domesticated thranta that were used as flying mounts. The thranta was used on Alderaan as a transportation method as well as a show-beast. Smaller thranta were trained as recreational mounts. Some thranta were even transported to Coruscant, to be used as Imperial courier beasts. However, the thranta wasted away without the natural environment to thrive in: the noxious fumes and emissions of the planet-wide city seemed to poison them. (ISU)

Thranta Riders

these humanoids are a silent, mysterious group that have befriended the thrantas that inhabit Bespin's atmosphere. They have large cranial lobes and thin faces, and often tattoo themselves with wild, swirling patterns. They remain aloof from all of Bespin's culture, and little is known about their origins. They have developed a monthly sky rodeo, which they perform for the visitors to Bespin. They take their thrantas through a series of wild loops and spirals, and the riders themselves leap from their thrantas a fly through the clouds. Their thrantas then swoop under them and catch them. (ISU)

Thranta-class War Cruiser

developed by the Alderaanian military, the Thranta-class was one of the last warships built before Alderaan demilitarized. All of the Thranta-class ships were supposedly destroyed when the planet removed all weapons, but three ships - the Valiant, Courage, and Fidelity - were retained to guard the Another Chance. (BW)

Thrasher

one of Oron Kira's warbeasts. (DLS)

Thrawn

this being, a member of the Chiss race, was a respected and honored commander in the Chiss Expansionary Defense force. His abilities to accurately predict his opponent's moves, and his tactical genius, moved him through the ranks with a quiet speed. Thrawn - whose full name is Mitth'raw'nuruodo - was one of the first to intercept the Imperial task force dispatched to destroy the Outbound Flight Project, when it appeared in the Unknown Regions. Then-Senator Palpatine had arranged for the Jedi Masters to make a trial run through the Unknown Regions, in order to help prepare them for the discovery of life in another galaxy. Unknown to the Jedi, Palpatine had sent the task force - led by one of his trusted advisors, Kinman Doriana - to make sure they didn't get started. The fifteen-ship Imperial force was summarily wiped out by Thrawn's small fleet of ships, although Doriana's ship was allowed to survive. Doriana himself negotiated with Thrawn, explaining why they were in Chiss space and what the threat of the jedi was. Thrawn saw two things in Doriana's speech: the necessity for removing the Jedi, but also the order and stability that Palpatine's New Order could bring to the galaxy. He agreed to let Doriana return to Coruscant, and also agreed to destroy Outbound Flight. Palpatine spent the next several years searching for Thrawn, in hopes of bringing his military genius into the Empire. Thrawn, meanwhile, had learned from the Empire the use of pre-emptive strikes against his opponents. The problem was that the Chiss regarded such unprovoked attacks as a form of murder, and exiled Thrawn after one particularly bloody incident. The ruling Chiss stripped him of his rank and sent him to live on an uninhabited world near Imperial space. It was here that Captain Voss Parck finally caught up with Thrawn, convincing him to travel to Coruscant and serve Palpatine. Thrawn received private schooling in Imperial military academies, and quickly rose through the ranks as one of the few non-humans in the Navy. When Darth Vader was called by the Emperor to become more involved in his plot to capture Luke Skywalker, Vader assigned Thrawn to be the "guardian" of the Noghri on Honoghr. This exposure to Vader and Palpatine led to Thrawn's promotion to Vice Admiral, where he helped design the missile gunboat. As Vice Admiral, Thrawn oversaw the development of an Imperial outpost in the Pakuuni System, then assisted in the defense of Palpatine against Zaarin's treachery. However, Thrawn could not capture Zaarin before he made his escape into hyperspace. Further service to the Emperor garnered Thrawn a full promotion to Admiral, at which time he served on the Inexorable under Ysanne Isard. Sometime later, Thrawn was promoted to Grand Admiral, and he convinced both Isard and Soontir Fel that a group of clones created from Fel's genetic material would make perfect sleeper agents. They could pilot ships, and would be loyal to the Empire. During a political party in the Emperor's court, Thrawn made a rare judgmental error and wound up on the wrong side of a debate. This angered Palpatine, but it also gave him an excuse to move Thrawn out of the limelight. Thrawn and Parck were sent back to the Unknown Regions as punishment, but were continually fed Imperial support. While there, Thrawn and Parck set up the compound known as the Hand of Thrawn on Nirauan, drawing a military force from the Chiss who still supported Thrawn. During their tenure, they won over large sectors of the region. These sectors could have vastly increased the Empire had not Palpatine died at Endor. Thrawn decided to hedge his bets, and began fortifying the Hand of Thrawn. He left Parck there, in charge of the planet, when he decided to return to the rest of the galaxy some five years after the Battle of Endor. He left word with Parck and the Chiss who supported him that, if he was ever reported dead, that they should wait ten years for his return. As one of the surviving Grand Admirals, Thrawn was able to quickly garner support from the Imperial remnants, obtaining control of the small fleet under the command of then-Captain Pellaeon. Using Noghri strike forces and clever deceptions - such as cloaking devices and clones recovered from the Mount Tantiss facility - Thrawn and his growing fleet began systematically retaking pieces of the New Republic. He was successful until the Battle of Bilbringi, where his fleet was decimated and he was killed by his Noghri bodyguard, Rukh. In order to ensure that he would eventually return to the Chiss on Nirauan, as he promised, Thrawn had Parck and Fel maintain a clone of himself, ready for rebirth at the ten-year mark.

However, Solo was not one to remain in one place for too long, and she eventuallyt got over him and married Bornan. After they managed to escape the destruction of their homeworld, they had a son, Raynar, who was Force-sensitive. He joined the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 shortly before his father disappeared. Aryn went to Yavin 4 to see if her son had any knowledge of Bornan’s whereabouts, and to protect him. (TPS, TEP)

Thul, Bornan

this Alderaanian man was Aryn Dro’s boyfriend. He was jealous of Han’s bravery and the attention paid him by Aryn. After Han became a smuggler, Bornan eventaully won Aryn’s favor. They were later married, and Bornan became an Alderaanian nobleman with a vast shipping empire. He and his wife were off-planet when the Death Star destroyed Alderaan, and so were among the handful of Alderaanians who survived the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Endor, Bornan became involved with the trade negotiations and alliances of the New Republic. He also began working with Nolaa Tarkona, and negotiated a deal for trade rights with her. While on his way to meet Han Solo at the New Republic Trade Council on Shumavar, he discovered that the cargoes he purchased from Fonterrat contained the Emperor’s Plague, he attempted to destroy the storehouse from which they came. He was unable to do so, so he disapeared before delivering the cargo to Tarkona. She immediately placed a bounty on his head, for he retained the location of the storehouse. He managed to elude such notorious bounty hunters as Boba Fett, and kept the location of the storehouse away from Tarkona until he was found by his son, Raynar, and Zekk. When they tried to destroy the storehouse, Bornan sacrficed himself in order to kill Tarkona as well. She had unleashed the Emperor’s Plague, but he was able to kill her with another of the viruses.

A bristly-haired blond youth, Raynar disliked Jacen Solo, especially Jacen's collection of exotic creatures. Raynar was bitten a number of times by Jacen's crystal snake. When the Shadow Academy attacked Yavin 4, Raynar discovered that he wasn’t as skilled as he believed himself to be. In a quick fight with Brakiss’ Dark Jedi, Raynar ended up face-down in a riverbank and missed most of the fighting. Raynar’s demeanor changes, and he decided that he must work for the prestige he wanted, rather than claim it was his. Raynar and Jacen eventually overcame their differences and became good friends. After Han Solo delivered the news that Bornan had disappeared, Ranyar became entangled with the Diversity Alliance. After Zekk returned to Yavin 4, he and Raynar agreed to cooperate and search out Raynar’s father. They took the Lightning Rod, and eventually located Bornan.

A temperate world with two moons, it is the homeworld of the Vratix race, which discovered how to create bacta from alazhi and kavam. The Vratix shared the secrets of bacta production with their human neighbors, and a healthy business was created as the galaxy realized the healing potential of bacta. The planet had two human factions engaged in bacta production, the Zaltin and Xucphra factions, in addition to the Vratix Ashern faction. The two human factions were chosen by Emperor Palpatine to supply the Empire's bacta, effectively eliminating all competition in the bacta market. The Vratix were relegated to the position of rebellious terrorists, until they petitioned the New Republic for admission as a member race. The Republic was unable to do so without the consent of the native human population, which was under the yoke of Ysanne Isard until she was killed in the Battle of Thyferra. Once free of Imperial domination, Thyferra applied for membership and was accepted. The average day on Thyferra lasts just over 21 standard hours. (SWAJ, XWN, KT, BW)

Tibanna gas

a gas found in the atmosphere of many gas giants, it is useful because it can produce large amounts of energy when light passes through it. Thus, it can be used in large blasters to multiply the weapon's output. It also has certain anti-gravitional properties, and has exceptional properties as a hyperdrive coolant. The best tibanna gas is compressed and spin-sealed, since this kind of tibanna is four times as powerful as regular tibanna. Spin-sealing requires a great deal of energy to do artificially. Fortunately for many weapons manufacturers, the tibanna found in the atmosphere of Bespin is naturally spin-sealed. (ESB, AESB, GG2, ISU)

Tibannopolis

a floating city in close-orbit around Bespin, deserted after the Imperial occupation of Cloud City. It was one of the few mining colonies that was not shut down when it failed to turn a profit.

Tibrin

the homeworld of the Ishi Tib race, Tibrin is an oceanic world orbiting the yellow star Cal. The entire planet is covered by a shallow ocean, and the planet has no seasonal changes because of its perpendicular axial tilt. The planet's ocean currents conduct warmth from the inner core to the surface, bringing heat to all parts of the planetary ocean. The only land masses are coral reefs and sand bars, and the Ishi Tib have built their ecologically-friendly cities there. (GG4)

T.I.E. Fighter

the original twin ion engine starfighter produced by Republic Seinar Systems. (WEG)

TIE Advanced

single-hulled attack ship with bent wings, it was built from a design developed by Darth Vader just prior the Battle of Yavin. Vader flew a prototype TIE/Ad in the battle, and following the loss of the Death Star, he worked with Seinar Fleet Systems to refine it. The 10-meter craft is quick and agile, rated at a top speed of 145 MGLT.

The TIE Advanced was equipped with the following shipboard components:

- Seinar Fleet Systems I-s3a Solar Ionization Reactor

- Seinar Fleet Systems P-sx7.4 Twin Ion Engines

- Seinar Fleet Systems F-s5x Flight Avionics Control

- Seinar Fleet Systems N-s6 NavCom Unit

- Quadanium Steel Armored Solar Panels

(SW, XW, TIE)

TIE Advanced x1

the original series of prototypes for the TIE Advanced, the x1 was the most successful of the TIE prototypes built by Sienar Fleet Systems, and although it did not make it to production, many of its advancements did. The x1 had a custom-built fuselage which features enhanced armor plating, and expanded rear deck, and matching bent wings. It wasn't as maneuverable as the other TIE Fighter designs, but speed was slightly faster. Like most TIE ships, the x1 lacked a life-support system, but it did have modest shield generators and a hyperdrive. The x1 saw limited production. Darth Vader received one of the first x1 ships, while others went to elite squadrons for testing. SFS could not bring the fighter's cost down, so the Empire opted not to purchase the x1 in quantity. Instead, the Empire chose the TIE Interceptor, which incorporated many of the x1's advances but on the basis TIE Fighter frame and at a much cheaper cost. (CCG)

TIE Avenger

this version of the TIE Fighter was based on the TIE Advanced x1 prototype, and was the precursor to the TIE Interceptor. The Avenger’s wings were bent inward at the top and bottom, and the wing supports were strengthened with fins attached to the hull. It also has defelctor shields and a hyperdrive, which significantly added to its cost. Because of this, it was quickly phased out of production and replaced with the TIE Interceptor. (CCG4)

TIE Bomber

built by Seinar Fleet Systems, this version of the TIE fighter is a double-hulled bomber ship with bent wings for increased stability. It is 7.8 meters in large, is a single-pilot craft, and can make 80 MGLT at sublight speeds. It was designed for surgical strikes against ground and deep-space targets. It suffers in maneuverability due to its double-hulled configuration, but when complemented by TIE Fighters or TIE Interceptors, it makes a lethal combination. They have enhanced targetting capability, making them much more accurate than many capital ships. These ships eventually evolved into the Scimitar assault bomber.

It boasts the following shipboard systems:

- Seinar Fleet Systems P-s4 Twin Ion Engines

- Seinar Fleet Systems N-s4 NavCom Unit

- 2 Seinar Fleet Systems L-s1 Laser Cannons

- Seinar Fleet Systems M-s3 Concussion Missile Launchers (2 racks of 4)

- Seinar Fleet Systems I-a2b Solar Ionization Reactor

- Seinar Fleet Systems F-s3.2 Avionics Control

- Seinar Fleet Systems T-s7b Targeting Computer

- Seinar Fleet Systems T-s5 Proton Torpedo Launchers (2 racks of 2)

- Titanium Alloy Hull (rated at 50 RU)

- Quadanium Steel Armored Solar Panels

(ESB, SCRE, EGV)

TIE Crawler

another name for the TIE Tank. (DE1)

TIE Defender

an advanced form of TIE Fighters which employed shields. This 10-meter starfighter took the stability and agility of the TIE Interceptor's bent-wing design and added a third bent-wing to it. Not much is known about the TIE/D, as it was never fully accepted in battle and never mass-produced, but it was thought to have had a maximum speed of 155 MGLT, with 4 laser cannons, 2 ion cannons, 2 warhead launchers, 200 SBD shields, and a 20 RU hull. The fighter was propelled by the newer P-sz9.7 twin ion engines from Sienar Fleet Systems, and was equipped with Novaldex shield generators. The TIE Defender was used to defeat Admiral Zaarin, although the missions were so secret that very few Imperial officials were unaware of its role. The TIE Defender was produced at a cost of over 300,000 credits per fighter - about five times the cost of a TIE/ln. This, plus the political upheaval created by the Battle of Endor and the fact that it had an aft blindspot created by the wing placement, led to the demise of the TIE Defender as a widely-accepted starfighter. (TIE, EGV, CCG9)

TIE Deluxe

an advanced form of TIE Fighters which was developed, but never deployed into combat. (TIE)

TIE Fighter

  1. sometimes called the TIE/ln starfighter, this was the first flat-winged, single-pilot TIE ship developed by Seinar Fleet Systems, and the basis for all other TIE ships. It is 6.3 meters in length, and can make 100 MGLT at sublight speeds. It has also been clocked at 1,200 kilometers per hour in an atmosphere. Like all TIE ships, it has a titanium alloy hull and quadanium steel armored solar panels. All visual information on TIE Fighters shows that they have six-sided solar panels, although X-Wing: The Bacta War indicates that they are octagonal. Also, like other TIE ships, it is built exclusively from Seinar Fleet Systems components, and lacks primary life support systems. It is a short-range starfighter, requiring a nearby base of operations from which to obtain fuel and guidance. It also boasts the following shipboard systems:

(SW, SCRE, SWSB, EGV)

  1. a game found in the databanks of the computer program called Systems Integration Manager aboard the Star of Empire. The player took the persona of a downed TIE Fighter pilot who had to escape from Alliance forces before being captured. In order to escape, the pilot had to enter the correct access code to repair his ship. (GOF10)

TIE Interceptor

built by Seinar Fleet Systems, these single-pilot bent-winged attack craft were designed so that the wings are longer in front than behind, and have been cut out at the front for better visibility. They are 9.6 meters in length, and can run at 110 MGLT at sublight speeds. They have been timed at 1,250 kilometers per hour in atmospheric conditions.

It boasts the following Shipboard systems:

- Titanium Alloy Hull (rated at 20 RU)

- Quadanium Steel Armored Solar Panels

- Seinar Fleet Systems I-a3b Solar Ionization Reactor

- Seinar Fleet Systems S-c4.1 Multi-range Tracking Array Grid

- Seinar Fleet Systems F-s4 Avionics Control

- Seinar Fleet Systems T-s9a Targeting Computer

- Seinar Fleet Systems P-s5.6 Twin Ion Engines

- Seinar Fleet Systems N-s6 NavCom Unit

- 4 Seinar Fleet Systems L-s9.3 Laser Cannons

(ROTJ, SCRE, SWSB, XW)

TIE Ships

Twin Ion-Engined small attack ships used as defensive guard ships around larger cruisers (such as Star Destroyers). Each is a single-pilot ship which lacks a hyperdrive and life support system due to their small size and expendability. The wings are covered with solar panels for collecting energy that can be transferred to the engines. Originally designed by Republic Seinar Systems, they were not built until the Empire assumed control, and RSS became Seinar Fleet Systems. There are many different variations of the basic TIE design, each built for unique purposes. (SW, ESB, WEG, SCRE)

TIE Subfighter

this form of TIE Fighter is a smaller version of the original, and is armed with a concussion missile launcher and a single blaster cannon. (SWJ9)

TIE Tank

a ground assault vehicle modeled after the TIE starfighter, with wheels instead of solar panels. It was the first craft designed and built by the Seinar Army Systems division of the Santhe/Seinar Technologies group. The 6.7-meter craft was armed with a light turbolaser and two medium blaster cannons. It was designed to be a cheap, mass-produced ground combat vehicle. The proper name is the Century Tank, although its resemblance to the TIE Fighter earned it its other names of TIE Tanks and TIE Crawler. Twin Santhe SSct power generators supply energy to the treads, but are only strong enough to move the tank at 90 kilometers an hour. They are easily repaired because most of their systems are basic in design to cut down on production costs. Disabled or damaged TIE Tanks can be quickly repaired in most situations, and abandoned Tanks are often scavenged for parts. (DE1, DESB, EGV)

TIE Vanguard

this reconnaissance fighter was deployed to gather information of enemy starship movements before engaging the fleet in battle. Built from the basic TIE/ln design, the Vanguard's solar collectors were smaller on the top half than on the bottom. The top part was also bent slightly outward. The central ball of the strafighter was equipped with enhanced communications equipment. (CCG2)

TIE/D

pilotless TIE/droid unit fighters run by onboard droids, designed by Arndall Lott following the Battle of Endor. Lott used the Katana fleet as an inspiration, seeing that the automated systems could work if implemented correctly. Lott originally automated the AT-AT, but his early work suffered from lack of computer power. The TIE/D has received the best automation the Empire could afford, and could be used as independent fighters or computer-slaved squadrons. However, the initial TIE/Ds were not very powerful, and were only effective in large numbers. The TIE/D measured 6.1 meters, and resemble the center section of a TIE Fighter with squared-off TIE Interceptor-like wings which were flat and tilted. The TIE/D was armed with a pair of laser cannons, and lacked a hyperdrive. A Cybot Galactica Ace-6 combat droid brain is the heart of the ship, but was shown to be greatly inferior to human pilots. The TIE/D, although produced in large volumes to overwhelm New Republic starfighters, was primarily produced by the nuclear furnaces and factories of World Devastators. When these were destroyed over Calamari, the primary sources of the TIE/Ds were eliminated. (DE1, DESB, EGV)

Tierce, Grodin

this former Imperial stromtrooper and Royal Guard served under Moff Disra. Tierce managed to survive the destruction of the second Death Satr by the simple fact that he was not there, having been rotated out of active duty as Guardsman at the time. He later served as one of Grand Admiral Thrawn’s stromtroopers aboard the Chimaera, but didn’t count on Rukh actually killing Thrawn. Tierce’s unit, upon hearing of Thrawn’s death, intercepted and executed Rukh. A cold, calculating man, Tierce was drawn into Disra own plans for the remnants of the Empire as he was furthering his own schemes. Serving as a Naval Major, Tierce tried to remain a minor aide to Disra, but felt that the old man was getting in his way. He took control of the military aspects of their plans after Disra introduced Flim as a reborn Thrawn. Tierce recognized the short-comings of Flim’s performance, and had Thrawn’s genetic records altered to match Flim’s. He then cut off Disra’s supply of clones to Zothip and the Cavrilhu Pirates, making it clear to Disra that the Empire would need them more than the pirates. He claimed that he was only trying to avenge the death of Palpatine. He also learned that Thrawn had set up a number of sleeper cells on Republic worlds, and worked to activate them in an effort to garner more troops. Tierce also hired the Vengeance group to begin a series of ritos which, on the surface, were the result of the Caamas Incident. His work with Disra dn Flim was cut short when Admiral Pellaeon discovered that Tierce was, in fact, a clone of the original Grodin Tierce. The history files in the Imperial Records Library noted that Tierce died in the assault on Generis while serving under the original Thrawn, ten years before the Caamas Incident. Thrawn created the clone himself, using Tierce's fierce loyalty and soldier acumen and merging it with much of Thrawn's own intellect and cunning. The hipe was that this new regime of clones would supplant the Imperial warlords and take control of the Empire. Pellaeon discovered that Tierce was created just two months prior to Thrawn's death, but the experiement was cut short when Thrawn realized that he had not created a leader, just a tactically brilliant stormtrooper. Tierce was the first - and last - of his line. Upon hearing of this, Shada D'ukal - who had accompanied Pellaeon - killed Tierce with one of her zenji needles. (SOP, VOF)

Tierfon

planet in the Sumitra Sector that housed a secret Alliance fighter base during the Galactic Civil War. The Alliance used this base to patrol the Sumitra Sector and to provide escorts for secret convoys. Located on a steep cliff face overlooking a deep valley, the Alliance had perfect views for miles around. They dug deep into the rock, and built maintenance and refueling sites for convoy ships. The base was guarded by defensive lasers and the X-Wings based there, but had little other defenses. The base was run by 12 command personnel, and maintained 18 pilots and 54 ground troops. 74 support and technical staff were also stationed there. The base supported 5 airspeeders, 2 landspeeders, 4 speeder bikes, and 8 X-Wing starfighters. An MD-1 and an MD-2 droid provided medical support. Tierfon base was the base for the famous Yellow Aces Squadron. (SWSB, MTS)

Tigellinus, Rufaan

this Imperial Grand Admiral was inducted into Coruscant’s Order of the Canted Circle during the height of the New Order. Tigellinus’ admission into the exclusive order was somewhat unusual, because his involvement with the Order was minimal when compared to other important dignitaries. His rapid admission was attributed to his politcal savvy and connections to Emperor Palpatine, most notably his relationship with Alec Pradeux. His admission was also unusual in that it came during a period of rapid growth for the Order: Tigellinus was the thirteenth new member in seven years. Tigellinus was a strong supporter of Moff Disra, even when the Moff was out of favor with the Emperor. (SWJ8, SWJ9)

Tiger

an Imperial assault transport operative during the Galactic Civil War. It was assigned to the Pakuuni System. (TIE)

Tigress

this Alliance agent was hidden as a librarian within the Imperial archives. She befriended the Lady Amber Comark, despite her father’s position as an Imperial Moff. When Tigress was discovered, she was quickly removed from her position and tortured. Amber felt nearly powerless as the Empire’s interrogation eventually killed Tigress, until she resolved to pick up where Tigress left off. The lapse in contact between the two "Tigress" agents caused some concern within Alliance Intelligence, although Amber’s help in exposing the Death-Hunter project was invaluable. (SWJ9)

Tigris

a Firrerreo youth, son of Hethrir and Rillao. It was hoped that Tigris would have a great deal of Force sensitivity, given that his parents were both Jedi. Their master, Darth Vader, hoped that their son would grow to become a great Sith warrior. However, Tigris was born without any Force sensitivity whatsoever, and was all but forgotten by his father. Rillao placed him on one of the Firrerreo colony ships, but Hethrir discovered him there and woke him up. Tigris was then relegated to slave status, doing whatever menial tasks Hethrir appointed. When Hethrir's treachery was revealed to Tigris at Crseih Station, he was through into a mass of emotional confusion. His mother took him back, to begin drawing him out of the shell Hethrir had built. (CS)

Timbra Ott

this planet, located in the Kathol Outback, stands at the far end of the Galtea Run. Originally settled as a sister colony to Gandle Ott in order to accommodate those settlers who were looking for more isolation than usual, Timbra Ott became a penal colony maintained by the government of Kal'Shebbol after a series of earthquakes and tidal waves destroyed much of the settlement there. The planet's natural beauty recovered in time, and the convicts who were exiled there worked hard to make the planet liveable. When the Empire decided to strand the colonists on Timbra, rather than maintaining the facility, a series of riots broke out before a group of individuals took control of the planet and formed their own government. Since that time, the planet has re-asserted itself as a simple colony world, although most other residents of the Kathol Outback still consider the people of Timbra Ott to be convicts and criminals.

During this time, he commanded the Imperial-I class Star Destroyer Devastator in the destruction of the Alliance base on Ralltiir. While on Ralltiir, he became enamored of Princess Leia. She used this infatuation to allow her to escape the planet without Imperial intercession. Later, after Leia and her father, Bail Organa, learned about the Empire's plans to build the first Death Star, the Organas invited Tion to Alderaan for a dinner, during which they would try to obtain more information on the battle station. They were able to discover from Tion that the plans were being moved to the Imperial vaults, but Leia could not control her anger. She accidentally let Tion know she had inside information by revealing the code name 'Death Star,' and he attempted to arrest her. A struggle ensued, and Tion was killed when he tried to pull his blaster on Leia, and instead fired it on himself. Lord Tion was portrayed by John Considine for the Star Wars Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (SWR)

Tion Hegemony

known as the Ancient and Honorable Union of the Tion Hegemony, this sector of the Tion is a collection of 27 star systems found among the furthest reaches of the galaxy. It is far from the Core Worlds, but embraces some of the oldest and most ancient human civilizations in the galaxy. During the early years of the Old Republic, the Tion Hegemony was ruled by Xim the Despot. Before Xim, the Livien League controlled the Hegemony. As the Republic grew and the Tion Hegemony was "liberated," the sector saw a decline it its fortunes. However, the Hegeomny remained the breadbasket of the Tion, providing foodstuffs for all three of the Tion's sectors. Han Solo worked for Grigmin in the Tion Hegemony at one time. The Hegemony, being so far from Imperial control, was a home to many out-of-work smugglers, swindlers, and con artists who were trying to improve their lots in life. (HSR, HSL, ML)

Toka

a primitive race native to the Rafa System, it was thought that the Toka were the descendants of the Sharu race, given that they hold so many of the Sharu legends in reverence. The Toka live in the ancient Sharu buildings, and their society and religion are based on the Sharu legends and histories. Rokur Gepta learned that the Toka, like the humans who inhabit the Rafa System, arrived there from other systems a long time ago. The Toka were believed to have arrived first, and had the first contacts with the Sharu. This contact was broken when the Sharu mysteriously disappeared, and the Toka have been affected ever since. This disappearance of the Sharu has accounted for their lack of intelligence and inability to advance tehcnologically, and thus the Toka have been dubbed the Broken People. Since the disappearance of the Sharu, the Toka have become fairly simple-minded, and exist only to tend the life-orchards of the Rafa System, growing the beautiful and potent life-crystals. Gepta also learns that the Toka themselves are human stock, withered with apparent age due to their close interaction with the life-crystals. All of this knowledge held by Gepta, of course, is proven mere legend when Lando Calrissian and Mohs discover the resting place of the Mindharp. It is then revealed that the Toka are, in actuality, the Sharu themselves. When the Sharu civilization was at its height, the Sharu were scared by an unknown event. This caused them to begin hiding all record of themselves and their civilization in the huge computer banks found throughout the Rafa System. These were disguised as simple buildings. The Sharu also hid themselves from prying eyes by locking away all their knowledge in these computer systems. They developed the life-crystals as a way to continualy suck the knowledge and intelligence from succeeding generations, perpetuating the illusion of the ignorant Toka. A single Toka from each generation was allowed to maintain some of the ancient knowledge. This Toka, the High Singer, was charged with keeping the legends of the Key and the Mindharp alive until the Bearer and the Emissary came to the Rafa System. This would signal to the Mindharp that the threat to the Sharu had passed, and they could emerge from their disguise as the Toka and re-establish themselves. (LCM)

Trade Federation

this group was formed by the Old Republic to monitor and maintain the delicate balances of power between the growing economies of the Core Worlds and the developing worlds of the remote Outer Rim Territories. Ostensibly, they were the policemen of the Old Republic, working to ensure fairness and mediate disputes. However, the Trade Federation - led by the Neimoidian race - was inherently weak, and soon found itself under the control of Darth Sidious during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. A series of political maneuvers led to the Old Republic’s taxation of trade routes in the galaxy, which took away much of the control and profit realized by the Neimoidians. In an attempt to force the repeal of the tax law, and under the control of Sidious, the Trade Federation threatened the world of Naboo by blockading all trade to and from the planet.

this Imperial Navy Captain served under the command of Moff Sarne in the Kathol Outback. Sarne's orders were to delay the progress of the FarStar without destroying it, while turning the peoples of the various settlements against the New Republic.

A no-nonsense officer, Treidum continued to work for Sarne after the Battle of Endor, where his only died fighting against the Alliance. Treidum captained the corvette Lialic II, which he renamed the Lance of Endor in order to raid Outback planets under the disguise of a New Republic starship. Treidum managed to convince several Outback worlds that he was, indeed, representing the New Republic, and thereby hindered the work of the FarStar. However, many planets saw through the ruse after meeting with the FarStar's captain and crew. Treidum was killed, and his ship destroyed, when he attempted to capture the FarStar at Danoor. The crew of the FarStar had enlisted the aid of Makezh, who called the Aing-Tii monks to help rid the system of the Imperials.

He was led down the dark path by none other than Emperor Palpatine, and it was rumored that Tremayne was one of the Emperor's Hands. Tremayne was eventually promoted to the position of High Inquisitor, and had an illustrious career serving Palpatine. In this position, Tremayne was answerable only to Darth Vader and the upper eschelons of Palpatine's advisors.

Trench Run Defense

this New Republic starfighter tactic was modeled after tactics developed at the Battle of Yavin. If a group of pilots was attacked near a natrual trench or valley, in a deep cityscape like Coruscant, or any other broken surface, the pilots would dive for the surface and weave their wave around and through the various obstacles. This would help throw off pursuit, allowing the pilots to escape. The attackers could either follow them, and be forced to match the pilot's maneuvers, or try to follow them from above, often losing sight of the pilot for extended periods. (WS)

Trentacal had been assigned to with kidnap and hold the children of the Cantras Gola ambassador by the Pentastar Alignment, and he held them on Gabredor III until they were rescued by Sully Tigereye and his Red Moons assault team. In the battle, Trentacal holed up inside his personal slaving ship and command center, the Atron's Mistress, until the ship was taken by the Red Moons.

The Selonians who lived on Sacorria were members of a Den which was ousted from Selonia for disputing a valid settlement and turning their own against the Den. Their Den name has been banned from the Selonian language. It was later revealed that the Triad was responsible for the various revolts that occurred in the Corellian System, having funded them in order to take the attention away from their brainchild, the Starbuster Plot.

Triclops

the true son of Emperor Palpatine, Triclops is a three-eyed mutant whose third eye is located on the backside of his head. He has white, unruly hair, and his temples are scarred from years of forced shick treatments. The Empire considers him insane, and a threat to the Empire and the galaxy if he ever becomes Emperor himself. So Palpatine banished him to the spice mines of Kessel, where Trioculus cruelly abused him while plotting to take Triclops' place as Palpatine's son. Triclops developed a pattern of evil dreams at some point, and some of his dreams dealt with the development of new superweapons. Since tapping Trioculus as the false son of the Emperor, the Empire keeps Triclops alive in a hidden asylum on the planet Duro, working to reprogram his mind as well as to steal the information from his dreams. The Empire routinely denied the existence of a son of Palpatine, until Trioculus claimed he was the Emperor's son and assumed rulership of the Empire. Triclops' third eye emits an hypnotic pulse. He has always despised the Empire, and his hatred of it helped him resist the reprogramming he received on Duro. In case he ever escaped, the Imperial implanted a special device in one of his molars. It was attached to his brain, and could send signals to any nearby probe droids, detailing the fantastic creations of his dreams. (LCJ, MMY, PDS)

Trico

an edible, fungus-like algae native to the moon Yavin 8. The Melodies have many uses for trico, the primary of which is food. Young Melodies who cannot consume the silver-backed fish that populate the moon's streams must subsist on trico until their digestive systems mature.

Trigit was an Admiral with the Empire, and managed to survive the Battle of Endor and rose to power shortly thereafter. A native of Coruscant, Trigit commanded the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Implacable in service to Warlord Zsinj. Trigit went rogue after the death of Ysanne Isard at Thyferra, but later joined Zsinj's faction. It was Trigit who was responsible for leaking false information about Gravan Seven to the New Republic, hoping to draw them into a trap. This action was quite successful, resulting the loss of eleven pilots from Talon Squadron, and the decommissioning of the Talons. He wasn't as successful in attacking Folor, for his Morrts discovered the false beacons planted there by the New Republic. This earned him the ire of Zsinj, but he hoped to redeem himself by protecting Zsinj's assets. Zsinj decided that the Implacable would receive the first shipment of TIE Fighters from the Pakkerd Light Transport facility on Ession, and he sent the Implacable there with support from the Night Caller. However, the Night Caller was under the control of the New Republic, which had also commandeered the use of the Blood Nest to take the place of the Red Feathers. As the ancient container ship self-destructed, three full squadrons of Republic X-Wings burst forth from her holds and destroyed the Pakkerd facility before it could launch any TIE Fighters. The Night Caller then bombarded the Implacable with proton torpedoes, destroying her power cells and leaving the Star Destroyer adrift. Trigit ordered an evacuation and set the ship to self-destruct. He got to his personal escape craft, and was about to surrender to Edor Crespin and the New Republic when Myn Donos shot his starship and destroyed it. Trigit was killed in the explosion. (WS)

This made him look exactly like the assassin droid, C-3PX, and a series of misadventures ensued on Hosk Station. The situation was resolved, but when the droids returned to Hosk, Trillka helped them reroute an explosion set by Olag Greck so that it blows out the top of the spaceport, rather than downward into the planet. (DRO)

He studied a great deal of the history of the Imperial war machine, and became an expert on Imperial military tactics. He grew to become a ruthless leader, cruel and evil in his treatment of others. He was serving as the Supreme Slavelord of the Kessel spice mines when Grand Moff Hissa began to cultivate a friendship with him, in an effort to prepare him as a replacement for Triclops, Palpatine's true mutant son. His trusted droid, Emdee-5, had implanted a cybernetic device in his body that would allow him to created simulated Force lightning, giving the impression that Trioculus was gifted with the Force, even though he had no sensitivity whatsoever. When he tried to bargain with Zorba the Hutt for Princess Leia's life, Zorba captured him and froze him in carbonite. Supreme Prophet Kadann recovered a fake, frozen form of Trioculus and vaporized it, thinking that he had killed the pretender. However, Zorba kept the real Trioculus on board the Zorba Express, where it was recovered by the Grand Moffs near Tatooine.

the primary planet in the Trulalis System, Trulalis was also the least prosperous. It was removed from the worlds of Issor and Cadezia by distance, and was regarded as low-tech by the Issori. The Issori banned middle- and high-technology from the planet, and the natives have more or less accepted the roles of farmers and workers. It is covered with rich, green forests, wide grasslands, and oceans. Although the native Issori have kept the planet low-tech, many remember its thriving days as a fine liberal arts education center during the Old Republic.

Han was in a hurry, and passed on the story, but took the scrap price in cash. Five years later, after Han was dishonorably discharged from the Imperial armed forces for rescuing Chewbacca, Toryn gave the young man a job as a pilot and repairman. (TPS, THG)

Truuzdann

Trynic

this Devaronian tramp freighter captain has piercing red eyes, a trait which generally unnerves his associates. He was long considered one of the best tramp pilots in the Minos Cluster, because of his shrewd business sense and ability to quickly assess a situation’s profit potential. He genuinely loves the solitude of space travel, even with the wanderlust most Devaronian males feel. His ship, the converted YT-1300 known as the Solar Flare, has been modified to accept much larger cargoes than a stock freighter.

Tuhgri

this race is native to the planet Ehjenla. As a race, they believe in the existence of a Great Creator who provides them with everything they need to survive on their homeworld as well as in space. This belief has generated an unwritten law among the Tuhgri that states "no individual beign may own anything." Their native language if a dialect of Huttese. Tuhgri live in various tribes, led by a gaawan, who is elected to join the House of Balance. The Tuhgri are of medium height, and are completely hairless.

Tall and muscular, the Tunroth are characterized by their yellow skin and unusual skulls. Their elongated skulls have two nostrils at the top and front, below which sit their dark eyes. Their mouths are filled with sharp teeth, and are surrounded by several horns that stud their chins. They have an intense passion for the hunt, and are an aggressive, self-confident race. These characteristics were questioned when the Tunroth were decimated by the Reslian Plague, but the resulting sense of unity and purpose in rebuilding their society has made them stronger. The plague was brought to their system by a group of Lortan fanatics who swept through the Jiroch and several other systems, leaving death in their wake. The Empire tried to destroy the Lortans and remove their scourge from the galaxy, and succeeded in the Jiroch System. Thus, the Tunroth people have some minimal priase for the Empire, even knowing that the Empire was not there to save the Tunroth themselves. They have agrarian technology, but have taken quickly to high-tech weaponry in their struggles against Imperial domination of their system. (GG12)

Tunroth Assemblage of Three

this group of Tunroth advocated the simultaneous colonization of Kalok and Saloch. (GG12)

Tuomi

this New Republic Senator was a native of the planet Bosch. He constantly questioned Leia Organa-Solo's credentials, claiming that the refugees of Alderaan did not constitute a nation under the Republic's auspices.

Often called head tails, the lobes are very sensitive, and are thought to be errogenous zones. They have rows of pointed teeth, and close-set, pig-like eyes. They are native to the planet Ryloth. They also have multiple stomachs, and will feed on almost anything, from the fungi that grow on Ryloth to the cowlike rycrits. Twi'leks live in clans which are governed by a five-member group known as a head clan. The members of the clan append their clan name to their given name; for example, Koh'shak. Thise combined name has a definite meaning, and subtle changes in pronunciation can be incurred by the addition of the clan name. The Twi'leki will often adapt the full name to indicate the true - or more flattering - actual name. One example it Nawara Ven. A member of the Ven clan, his full name should be Nawara'ven. However, when translated, this becomes "tarnished silver." His family adapted his full name to be Nawar'aven, which translates to "good speaker" (literally, "silver-tongued").

He was accompanied by three bodyguards: Anen, who was actually Atril Tabanne; Honiten, who was actually Falynn Sandskimmer; and Voort saBinring. The alias was, in fact, based on a real person. The real Tyestin was indeed a supporter of the New Order, but died when his shuttle was destroyed while he fled the New Republic forces on Bakura.

this Imperial Star Destroyer, under the command of Captain Nalgol, was one of only thirteen that remained under Imperial control ten years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. It was assigned to lead the task force, comprised also of the Ironhand and the Obliterator, to travel under cloaking devices to Bothawui and hide among the comets that were passing through the system during the height of the Caamas Incident. From this position, they were to await the destruction of Drev'starn's shield generator before beginning their attack. The ships would fire from their hidden position, with the intent of drawing the multitude of New Republic warships gathered there into an all-out civil war. However, Carib Devist noticed that there were several small prove ships that moved into and out of sight when they passed near the comets, and was able to alert the Republic of their presence. Once the battle was joined, Han Solo managed to get many of the Bothan clans to supply warships from their personal fleets.
