J-type
this is the description used to describe one of Theed Palace Space Vessel’s starships. Equipped with a pair of Headon-5 sublight engines and a T-14 hyperdrive, the J-type was easily recognized by its highly reflective chromium plating and distinctive, dagger-like shape. The J-type was equipped with stations for up to 8 astromech droids that were used to perform a variety of functions, including repair and navigation. Queen Amidala of Naboo maintained a J-type as her own personal transport, and used the ship to travel to Coruscant during the Trade Federation’s blockade of her planet. Her ship, completed six years before the Battle of Naboo, was equipped with heavy-duty shields, but no weapons. It required a command crew of two, with six auxiliary crewers and eight astromech droids. It measured 76 meters in length. (SW1, TPM, X1)

J'Quille
a Whiphid male who was part of Jabba the Hutt's retinue on Tatooine, just prior to the crimelord's death. He was one of Valarian's former lovers, and the two of them staged a falling out to gain Jabba's attention. Jabba, in turn, employed him in order to gall Valarian. Valarian and J'Quille had arranged their break-up, and J'Quille became a spy. She had J'Quille arrange to meet Malakili and the rancor, in order to steal them out from under Jabba's nose. J'Quille was also responsible for bribing Phlegmin to lace Jabba's paddy toads with a slow-acting poison. In his rooms, J'Quille kept a strand of poisoned Mastmot teeth as a decoration, hoping someday to use them against Jabba. He never got the chance, because Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon. When he fled Tatooine and tried to return to Toola, he found that Valarian had put a price on his head for "rejecting" her. J'Quille returned to Jabba's palace and became a B'omarr acolyte, claiming that having his brain removed to a nutrient jar was the only way to escape Tatooine's heat. (TJP)
J't'p'tan
this planet, located within the Koornacht Cluster, was one of the worlds to which the Fallanassi fled when the Empire attacked Lucazec. Wialu was one of the Fallanassi who fled there, and she sensed the danger of the Yevetha Great Purge. The planet was known in the New Republic’s astrogation catalog as FAR202019S, and was known to other as Doornik-628. The name of the planet is derived from a series of H'Kig glyphs which describe basic elements of the H'kig religion. The first three are too sacred to write out - jeh teh peh - and form the "J't'p'" portion of the name. The last piece - tan - not so sacred. The Yevetha wiped out the H’kig settlement on the planet, reducing it to scroched ruins while exterminating all but a few of the religious followers. (BTS, SOL, TT)

this Abyssin term refers to the mating race between eligible males and females. Any female who completes the rite of passage to adulthood is given a head start, to be pursued by all adult bachelor males. The first male to catch a female wins her, and they are mated for life. Because the female Abyssin are faster runners than the males, a female's like or dislike for a given male may influence the race. (GG4)

Jabba Desilijic Tiure
one of the galaxy's most infamous crimelords, Jabba was a slug-like Hutt. He was sired by Zorba the Hutt on the planet Nal Hutta, about 600 years before he set up shop on Tatooine. Like most Hutts, Jabba had a huge, bloated body which must be moved on repulsorlift devices. This made Jabba appear immobile and defenseless, but he was also highly resourceful and cunning. During his early years as a thief and smuggler, Jabba worked with Ephant Mon, and once saved Ephant's life during an Imperial raid. When his father was imprisoned for improper business conduct, Jabba became the heir apparent to the Desilijic leader, Jiliac. They worked trielessly to expand Desilijic’s horizon, but Jiliac’s untimely pregnancy stalled Jabba’s ambitions. When Durga the Hutt challenged Jiliac to combat under the Old Law, Jabba used the opportunity to assassinate Jiliac’s offspring just as the old Hutt was killed by Durga. Jabba the assumed control of Desilijic.
At the height of the New Order, Jabba had become the Outer Rim's most notorious crime lord, controlling most of the smuggling, spice shipments, loan sharking, and murders in that territory. He was a major player in the illegal movement of glitterstim spice, and was constantly in powerplays with Moruth Doole over command of the market. Jabba had a working relationship with Han Solo, which centered around the delivery of smuggled spice from Kessel. When Han had to dump a shipment and escape from the Imperials, he could not repay Jabba, and so Jabba placed a death mark on Solo's head. Jabba employed his own set of bounty hunters to find Solo, thus keeping some of the reward money in-house. When Boba Fett returned Solo to Jabba, in a block of frozen carbonite, Jabba was ecstatic, and had the frozen Solo hung as a wall decoration. This capture of Solo led to a reprisal from Solo's new-found friends on the Alliance, and Jabba was killed when he tried to have Solo and Luke Skywalker put to death in the belly of the Sarlacc which resided in the Great Pit of Carkoon. Luke used the Force and a little luck to rescue Han, while Princess Leia strangled Jabba with the chain he kept linked around her neck. Following Jabba's demise, no one could find his will, and his palace was left empty. It was overrun with Ranats, until Zorba the Hutt returned to take ownership of it and Jabba's other possessions. At his largest, Jabba measured 3.9 meters in length, (SW, ROTJ, ZHR, EGC, GG7, TPS, THG, RD)

Bror was a member of X-Wing Rogue Squadron. He was a native of the planet Thyferra, and a veteran of the Battle of Hoth, Endor, and Bakura. He was a member of the Zaltin faction of bacta producers, as a way to balance the inclusion of Erisi Dlarit to the Squadron. It was the belief of the Zaltin faction that the Empire was doomed, and that an alliance with the New Republic through Jace would be profitable. Jace was part of the mission which was sent to Noquivzor, but was ambushed by the Black Asp. His body was never recovered, and Jace was listed as missing in action. It was believed that Tycho Celchu had leaked the mission's plans to the Imperials, but it was later revealed that Celchu was not the traitor. Jace himself later reappeared, and explained that the Vratix of the Ashern faction had recalled him to help plan the overthrow of Xucphra's pro-Imperial Bacta Cartel. He assisted the Rogues in the planning for the Battle of Thyferra, and was invaluable to the infiltration unit led by Elscol Loro and Sixtus Quin. After the Rogues defeated Ysanne Isard and removed the Imperial yoke from Thyferra, Jace was appointed to create the Thfyerran Aerospace Defense Force. (XWN, WG, KT, BW)

Jade, Mara
a strikingly beautiful woman known for her flame-red hair and piercing green eyes, Mara Jade grew up as an orphan after her parents were killed early in her life. Little in known about her young adulthood, but at some point she was employed by Emperor Palpatine as The Emperor's Hand. She took on a number of surveillance missions, often posing as one of the Emperor's dalliances in order to escape notice. As a member of Palpatine's closest followers, she gained a good deal of experience in the use of The Force. Her latent Force-sensitivity was heightened by the Emperor, and it allowed her to contact him across vast distances via Force energy. These abilities disappeared almost completely when the Emperor was killed. One of the last missions the Emperor assigned her to was the killing of Luke Skywalker. The Emperor claimed to have foreseen her involvement in Luke's death, and sent her to Tatooine following Vader's failure to capture Luke at Cloud City. She infiltrated Jabba's palace as a dancing girl, but was not allowed onto Jabba's sailbarge when it left to sacrifice Luke and Han to the Sarlacc. This unfortunate setback allowed her to continue in her efforts to kill Luke, but the death of the Emperor at Endor robbed her of her Force abilities and her main source of impetus. She went underground after Palpatine's death, since - as a secret agent for the Emperor - none of the surviving Imperials would ever believe she was more than a dancing girl. She performed a number of odd jons across the galaxy before she joined up with Talon Kaarde. She was working on Tropis at the time, and was employed by two safari hunters who turned out to be Talon Kaarde and Tapper Quelev. When Kaarde and Quelev got into trouble, Mara intervened and helped Kaarde escape. They then made proper introductions, and Mara asked for a job. She joined up just before he became involved with the New Republic, and was once again thrown into Luke's path. The Emperor's command to kill Luke resurfaced, but the events surrounding Grand Admiral Thrawn's plans for Luke and the New Republic kept getting in her way. She found herself helping Luke more often than not. When she and Luke were reunited in C'baoth's stronghold on Wayland, she fulfilled her "destiny" to kill Luke Skywalker, but not in the way she or the Emperor had forseen. When C'baoth sent a clone of Luke to battle the original Luke, Mara destroyed the clone. Following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn Mara worked with the New Republic as a liaison between the Republic and the newly-formed Smugglers' Alliance. Following the death of the reborn Emperor on Byss, Mara continued to assist the Republic, but was increasingly pursued by Lando Calrissian, both on a business level and a personal level. She kept Lando at arm's-length from a personal standpoint, but joined in with him to restart the Spice Mines of Kessel as a legal source of glitterstim spice.
They were also employed by Talon Karrde to search out the location of Jorj Car'das, a job which took them nearly six years to complete on the side. During the Caamas Incident, Mara took a group of Karrde's people to Nirauan, to search out the strange ships that attacked them in the Kauron asteroid field. She was stranded on the planet, and was eventually rescue by Luke. They realized that their relationship was now stronger than ever, especially after Mara bluntly showed Luke that his use of the Force needed to be minimized before he could fully understand it. Luke, in response, helped Mara realize her potential with the Force, unlocking it in time to use it to escape from the Chiss who controlled the Hand of Thrawn. During their escape, Luke asked Mara to marry him, a question to which she immediately agreed. After the resolution of the Caamas Incident, they were wed. Both agreed that they should travel the galaxy as Jedi instructors, leaving the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 to grow beyond Luke's vision. (HTTE, DFR, TLC, COTF, EGC, IJ, SOP, VOF)
Jade's Fire
the starship owned by Mara Jade in the years following the financial loss of the Kessel Spice Mines, Jade's Fire boasts some impressive scanners and sensors often unavailable to non-military starships. The ship is slightly larger than a YT-1300, with a truncated nose, wide fuselage, two elliptical wings, and an orange and red flame pattern painted on its hull. Among its components are a shootback system that automatically returns incoming fire and a slave-circuit control.
Because of Mara's introverted nature, the Jade's Fire was the one thing she cared about the most. That was why Luke Skywalker was reluctant to take it to Nirauan in search of Mara, but he recognized the necessity to do so. They had planned to use the ship to escape the planet, but Mara realized that the only way to stop Voss Parck and Soontir Fel from contacting Bastion was to eliminate their fleet. She used her beckon call to remotely pilot the Jade's Fire on a collision course with the hangar facility of the Hand of Thrawn complex, destroying the hangar and most of the ships within.

They made a great deal of money before becoming lost, and Jarril himself went to Coruscant to track down Han. Jarril hoped that Han would unofficially investigate the circumstances, and met him in the Crystal Jewel. Han initially declined the offer, and during their talks Dolph’s droids exploded in the Senate Assembly Chamber. Han left to see what had happened, and Jarril returned to his ship. His co-pilot, Seluss, was nowhere to be found, so Jarril began his pre-flight preparations. Some of Dolph’s men intercepted him, and took over his ship, the Spicy Lady. They shot Jarril and killed him, leaving him adrift. They also left incriminating messages in the Spicy Lady’s computer banks, implicating Han in the Senate Chamber bombing. (TNR)

Javis-12
this asteroid is one of the largest in the Mestra System asteroid field, located in the Minos Cluster. It is roughly egg-shaped, and measures about 400 kilometers at its widest point. The asteroid no longer revolves around its axis, thanks to specially-placed repulsors. This keeps the main living areas on the far side of the asteroid, away from the rest of the asteroid belt. This protects the living areas from asteroid and meteorite hits. Javis-12 orbits the Mestra System’s star once every 611 local days. The Minos-Mestra Corporation’s local headquarters were located on this asteroid, and the system’s only starport is located here. The starport is a conglomerate of domes and caves ranging across and below the surface of the asteroid. (GG6)
Jawas
diminutive desert-dwelling scrap merchants on Tatooine, these repulsive little creatures have large, glowing eyes which peer out from dirty cloaks. They have a randomly variable language, which makes it hard to interpret what they say. They are inherently cowards. Very few have ever seen what a Jawa looks like under their cloaks. They are pack animals, working together in small bands to collect anything and everything for resale to all buyers. It is believed by some xenologists that Jawas have human origins.

Both races supported the Old Republic, and resisted the onslaught of the Empire before pledging allegiance to the New Republic. However, shortly after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Je’Har began to assert their dominance over their human neighbors. They held the humans at bay, even enslaving them and torturing them as their whim saw fit. There were even reports of wholesale slaughter during the YevethanPurge. One survivor of the Je’Har domination was Dolph, who became somewhat gifted in the use of the Force and saw a way to overthrown the Je’Har. Using his remotely-activated droid bombs, Dolph wiped out the Je’Har, although he spared their leaders. He tortured them for a week, avenging the week of suffering they put his parents through. (TNR)

Jedi Battle Meditation
a skill mastered by only a few Jedi Knights and Masters, it involves the Jedi's concentration on the general flow and the outcome of a battle. When the Jedi has pictured the battle in his mind, he can then project the image to all participants in the battle. This mental image influences both sides of the battle, and helps bolster the Jedi's forces while reducing the opponent's conviction. The Jedi Master Thon could do this, and so could Nomi Sunrider. Luke Skywalker found a volume dedicated to the technique when he discovered the ancient Jedi library on Ossus. (TOJ, DE2)
Jedi Code, The

Each of these devices provides a visual and vocal way to view the enclosed information. Each holocron has a gatekeeper assigned to dispense the information. The gatekeeper contains the cognitive network functions of a Jedi Master, and acts as a search, recovery, and storage allocation program. The devices are shaped like small, translucent cubes, and can be activated by a person controlling The Force. The Holocron can sense the user's ability with the Force, and can block out areas of knowledge that are beyond the user's ability. (DE1, JS, DA, IJ)
Jedi Knights
the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice from the early beginnings of the Old Republic. They were highly trained in the use of the Force, and employed the elegant lightsaber as their weapon of choice. They protected the Republic from all threats, including the Clone Wars. They were also used to settle disputes and contentions for rulership due to their overall neutrality and their ability to search out the truth via the Force.
When Senator Palpatine assumed the throne of galactic Emperor, he realized that the Jedi Knights were the only true faction that could stand between himself and the galaxy, and so he dispatched a series of extermination forces to eradicate the Jedi. He nearly succeeded, for the only Jedi known to have survived were Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the Jedi Master Yoda. (SW, ESB, ROTJ)
Jedi Library
located in the Lost City of the Jedi, this building holds records of the Jedi from thousands of years before the Galactic Civil War.

Jedi Masters
those Jedi Knights who became extremely talented and powerful in the use of the Force were often trained to become Jedi Masters. The Jedi Masters' roles were varied, from teaching the young Jedi Knights in the use of The Force to acting as intermediaries for the Old Republic. The Jedi Masters were not exempt from Palpatine's Jedi purge, and the Jedi Master Yoda is the only known Master to survive. Yoda was able to pass on his vast knowledge of the Force to Luke Skywalker, who continued to train in the use of the Force after Yoda's death and become the newest Jedi Master. It is rumored that the best and truest Jedi Masters do not truly die, but move on to some mystical state of being. Their physical bodies cease to exist. (ESB, ROTJ, JS)

Jellyfish Cove
this small planetoid was the site of an Imperial prison colony during the Galactic Civil War. It was covered with rolling oceans broken by a barren, twisted landscape. The deserts were littered with statues of sensuous humanoids. When the sun was shining, these statues were beautiful to behold. When the sunlight disappeared, though, these statues suddenly came to life. They were actually a race composed of unique tissue that solidified in sunlight. The prison colony was scantily manned, for the Imperials were just as susceptible to the humanoids as the prisoners. Thus, many times the Empire employed smugglers or down-on-their-luck spacers to guard the outpost. The prison ships made sure to deliver their cargos during the day, so as to avoid the humanoids. (TMEC)

Jenet
native to the planet Garban, these aliens have pale pink skin, deep red eyes, and white fur. By almost every galactic standard, the Jenets are considered ugly and quarrelsome. Jenets have large ears and noses, and have developed keen senses of hearing, smell, and sight. These senses allow them to gather food, and their digestive system is adaptable enough to allow them to eat just about anything. Thus, they are often found scavenging for food rather than hunting for it. The Jenet race is also physically adept, and can run, jump, climb, and swim when needed. Jenets can also dislocate their limbs in order to squeeze into small spaces. Descended from rodents, they have vast memories, and are often considered quarrelsome due to their images of own self-importance. They are also extremely reproductive, and nearly wiped themselves out of existence due to overpopulation. They were not immune to Palpatine's subjugation of alien species during his reign as Emperor, and were forced to work in mines dug on their homeworld. (GG4)

Jensaarai
this was the name used by the Force-weilding population of Suarbi 7/5. They were trained as Jedi, and even taught how to create their own lightsabers, but were taught that Obi-Wan Kenobi was one of the greatest users of the Dark Side of the Force. There are three ranks of Jensaarai: Apprentices, Defenders, and Saarai-kaar. When they became Defenders, the Jensaarai created a unique form of personal armor created from cortosis ore and modeled to make them appear to be a vicious creature. Of the Saarai-kaar, there was only one member of that rank at any one point in time. When Leonia Tavira suddenly landed on the moon and executed its Imperial governor, thereby "freeing" them from Imperial control, the Jensaarai quickly grew to trust her. She betrayed that trust, and twisted them into a position in which the only way they could protect their people was to serve as her personal warriors. They were forced to accede, and joined her aboard the Invidious. She also told them that there was a being named Halcyon who would be their undoing, so she forced them to kidnap Mirax Terrik in order to draw Corran Horn to Suarbi 7/5. When they all met in battle, Luke Skywalker made quick work of the Jensaarai while Corran battled the Saarai-kaar. He did not kill them, though, a fact which surprised most of them when they came aroubd after the battle. It was later revealed that the word Jensaarai is a Sith term that means "hidden followers of truth." The last of the true Jensaarai Sith magicians died with Nikkos Tyris, but the new Saarai-kaar continued to train her young son and the other survivors in the ways of the Force. In a strange twist of fate, she taught them that the Jedi Knights were evil, but she also taught them the use of the light side of the Force, since she lacked the ability and education to comprehend the Sith treachings. Thus, when Emperor Palpatine's Jedi purge sent Darth Vader to Suarbi 7/5, Vader killed the Saarai-kaar's son because he felt only the light side emanating from him. When Luke and Corran defeated the Jensaarai and Leonia Tavira, the Saarai-kaar understoof what had happened, and agreed that the Jedi weren't any more evil than the Jensaarai. She agreed to consider sending a delegation of her followers to Yavin 4 for formal training under Luke. (IJ)

Dark tattooes embellish his mouth and chin, and his bald pate is accentuated by a heavy brow. He had the unique ability to drain the life energy from an opponent. Jerec served Emperor Palpatine during the Galactic Civil War, and attempted to obtain the entity known as Spore for the Emperor's use. He failed to secure the entity before it infected Hodge, but tracked Spore to Ithor. He offered Spore the chance to control thousands of minds, if Spore agreed to work for him. Jerec had hoped that Spore would take control of the crew of his warship, the Vengeance. However, Spore had its own plans, and used the Vengeance to try and hunt down Tash Arranda. As it tried to follow her through the asteroids near Ithor, a group of space slugs began battering the Star Destroyer, knocking out its shields and causing it to explode. It is unknown how Jerec survived the explosion, just that he managed to escape in a Starfly and ordered a recovery team to pick up the pieces of the Vengeance. After the Battle of Endor, he hoped to locate the Valley of the Jedi and enhance his powers, and murdered Qu Rahn and Morgan Katarn in his quest for more information. Jerec and his Dark Jedi would have had the Valley's secrets if not for Morgan's son, Kyle, who defeated Jerec and his minions on the very precipice of the Valley's power source. (DF2, GOF9)

Jerjerrod was portrayed by Michael Pennington in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. (ROTJ)

Jesa Corporation was the first outfit to mine the planet Pergitor, and helped transform it from merely a beautiful world to a major commercial and scientific location. About 100 years before the Battle of Yavin, the continual mining of the planet resulted in an increase in volcanic activity, although mining did not stop. The resulting volcanic eruptions - brought on by the thinning of the planet’s crust - filled the atmosphere with toxic chemicals and rendered the world uninhabitable. (GG6)

They also hired pirates to waylay transport ships from Ylesia which carried the processed spice, thereby obtaining sellable goods for nothing. When Zavval died on Ylesia, Jiliac and Jabba were forced into a series of confrontations with Aruk and Durga. In the midst of these battles, Jiliac became pregnant and became a female. After the birth of her baby, Jiliac became so wrapped up with maternal instincts that Jabba feared Desilijic would be taken over. Jiliac retained her sharp intellect, though, but sometimes failed to understand Jabba’s devious plans. They successfully lobbied at the Hutt Grand Council to penalize clan Besadii for its monopolization of the spice market, but this incurred Durga the Hutt’s wrath. Durga challenged Jiliac to combat under the Old Law, and the younger Hutt prevailed. During the battle, Jabba also murdered Jiliac’s offspring, leaving Jabba alone as Deslijic’s leader.

Jinn, Qui-Gon
this Jedi Master was known as one of the order’s most formidable members, but his recklessness and his devotion to seemingly inane causes kept him from becoming a member of the 12-being Jedi Council. Trained by a Master who had worked with students for 400 years, Qui-Gon was generally regarded as one of the best pure swordsmen the order had ever seen. However, Qui-Gon was also something of a maverick, and was unable to control his inner sense of purpose. Qui-Gon wore his hair long in a tacit defiance of the Jedi order’s rules. His control of the living Force was deep, although his abilities with the unifying Force were not as strong. The Council allowed Qui-Gon to take a Padawan, and he was charged by Master Yoda to train young Obi-Wan Kenobi. Together, they explored the Force for some twelve years before the Trade Federation invaded the peaceful world of Naboo. Supreme Chancellor Valorum asked that the Jedi be dispatched to negotiate with the Neimoidians, so Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were sent to Naboo. There, they became entangled in the intricate web being woven by Darth Sidious. Their mission quickly changed to the protection of Queen Amidala, whom they planned to transport to Coruscant for an appeal to the Senate. Their ship sustained large amounts of damage in clearing the Trade Federation blockade, and they were forced to land on Tatooine to repair the ship. While on the planet, Qui-Gon discovered the existence of young Anakin Skywalker. A check of the boy’s blood revealed an incredibly high concentration of midi-chlorians, and after learning of Shmi Skywalker’s description of Anakin’s conception, he believed that he had found the prophecied Chosen One. He also discovered the existence of Darth Maul, and barely escaped from the Sith Lord. He brought Anakin before the Jedi Council, but was sternly rebuffed for his impertinence. Instead, they were all sent back to Naboo to protect Amidala in her attempt to break the Trade Federation blockade on her own. While the Queen succeeded, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were forced to confront Darth Maul again. In an epic battle within the Theed palace’s power station, Qui-Gon was separated from Obi-Wan by the power plant’s security lasers. Forced to battle the Sith Lord on his own, Qui-Gon was physically unable to compete. Darth Maul was able to stun Qui-Gon before killing the Jedi Master with a quick jab of his double-bladed lightsaber, while Obi-Wan looked on helplessly. Obi-Wan was able to defeat Darth Maul once freed from the lasers, but was too late to save his Master. Obi-Wan held Qui-Gon as he died, vowing to continue his Master’s dream of training young Anakin Skywalker. Qui-Gon Jinn was portrayed by Liam Neeson in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.

this Corellian underworld figure was known for his resourcefulness and his ruthlessness. A former Imperial Gunnery Sergeant known to his comrades a Jix, he was part of the task force that was sent to Falleen to accompany Darth Vader’s experiment there. After the experiment failed, Jixton was court-martialled and sent to Kessel, but he quickly escaped from the prison complex and became a mercenary. He again encountered Vader several years later on the planet Aridus, where he had been hiding from the Empire. During this time, Jix had befriended the native Chubbits. When Vader was nearly killed in the explosion of the Iron Tower, Jix found him and would have killed the Dark Lord in revenge, but decided against it rather than risk the wrath of the Empire. Jix loaded Vader’s body onto a starship and set out to deliver him, but Vader awoke and realized the situation. He offered Jix the chance to return to Aridus without fear of Imperial pursuit if he agreed to do whatever the Dark Lord needed. Jix was forced to agree to the deal, and he became an effective agent of Vader’s. In this capacity, Jix exposed the liaison between Frija and Admiral Droon. Jix was later infiltrated into Jabba the Hutt's organization following the Dark Lord's failure to capture Luke Skywalker on Cloud City. Vader instructed Jix to become one of Jabba's swoop gang members, and to capture Luke when he arrived on Tatooine to plan the rescue of Han Solo. Jix nearly captured Luke in a swoop race through Beggar's Canyon, but Dash Rendar was able to disrupt his plans and get Luke free of the swoop gang. (SEC, SSE, SST)

Ariq felt that the three races could live together peacefully, despite the stories being spread by the Imperial governors. He regularly left gifts of water to both native races, and developed a great friendship with the Jawas of Wimateeka's clan. He developed an uneasy truce with the Sand People.
Many of his friends, including his neighbor Eyvind, thought he was crazy. Ariq paid them no mind, and planned to purchase a great tract of land that he would subdivide with Jawas and Sand People. He was even going to help them submit the paperwork to make the land officially their own. When Eyvind became engaged to Ariela, Ariq asked if he could invite Wimateeka's clan. Ariela talked Eyvind into agreeing, and the wedding reception was a success. The Jawas were impressed with human customs and civility, while the humans marvelled that the Jawas could be so friendly.
When a group of adolescent Sand People attacked the reception, Ariq was greatly dismayed. Eyvind was killed in the attack, and the local Imperial detachment used the incident to further the distrust between the races. Ariq was undaunted, and after rescuing Ariela from the Sand People, he set out to find the Alliance and work with them to overthrow the Empire. (TME)
