They have graceful noses and feathery eyelashes covering bright green eyes. The H'nemtheans are not Force-sensitive, as are the Gotals. The females also have silver, knife-shaped tongues, which are used as part of a bizarre mating ritual. When a female consummates her relationship with a male, she eviscerates him with her tongue, leaving him for dead. It is believed that this ritual is a biological reaction to the existence of twenty males for every female on H'nemthe. When the Empire subjugated their homeworld, many H’nemtheans abandonded it. Many joined the Alliance, working from a base on Anoat to coordinate the shipping of supplies throughout the galaxy. (TME, CCG7, CCG9)

They were on the ship as the computer suddenly declared the emergency under control, and they met up with Dash Rendar and Zak and Tash Arranda. They attempted to make their way to the communications room, but several of the crewmen died in various attacks along the way. They decided to crawl through cable pipes to get to the communications room, but Hajj was attacked by a multitude of crab-like maintenance droids.

this individual was an Imperial agent planted on Eiattu to impersonate Harrandatha, the only son of Uthorrferrell Cartha thought to be executed during the Priamsta’s overthrowing of Uthorrferrell Cartha. He was given a ring very similar to one given to Harrandatha by Darth Vader, as a way to prove his story. Estillo then created the People’s Liberation Battallion, hoping to overthrow the Priamsta and gain control of the planet himself. When not in his guise of Harrandatha, Estillo had a running relationship with Leonia Tavira, who helped him make headway against the Priamsta. His ruse was eventually exposed by Plourr, who killed the real Harrandatha on the night of the Priamsta’s coup in order to escape. (XWWP)

Harrandatha

this royal youth was Plourr’s younger brother and the true son of Uthorrferrell Cartha. Unlike other members of the family, Harrandatha was a failure of the Eiattuan genetic engineers. He was sadistic and cruel, torturing small animals for fun and choosing the philosophy of the New Order over that of the Old Republic. The happiest day of his life was the day Darth Vader arrived on Eaittu to inspect a new garrison. He met the Dark Lord, who played on the youth’s loyalties and created a devote follower of Palpatine’s rule. Vader left him a small, jeweled ring as a symbol of their friendship, although the ring was truly meant to control Harrandatha’s mind. When Uthorrferrell was executed by the Priamsta, it was Harrandatha who caught Plourr during the royal family’s flight. He tried to sound an alarm, but Plourr bludgeoned him with a rock and killed him. The ring was later recovered and used by Harran Estillo to impersonate Harrandatha. (XWWP)

He fled with the remnants of the fleet to the Core, where he let his skin heal naturally, preserving forever the scars the Alliance had given him. The only repair he allowed was the addition of a droid's optical sensor to replace his lost eye. Since the Battle of Endor, Harrsk has mustered the remaining Imperial starships, and began small harassment attacks on the New Republic. as his power grew, Harrks became more and more of a dissenter, active during Leia Organa Solo's reign as the Chief of State for the New Republic. Harrsk sought to restore the New Order to the galaxy. He was thought to have a base on Spuma, from which he was manufacturing Imperial-class Star Destroyers for his fleet. Admiral Daala offered to join with Harrsk following the destruction of her fleet and the Eye of Palpatine. When he refused, and ordered her to take command of his fleet against Teradoc, Daala set out to unite the feuding warlords or die. In ther end, Daala found it best to kill of the childish warlords - Harrsk included - when they failed to reach an agreement at the summit on Tsoss Beacon. (COJ, DS)

Harthan

this diplomatic conselor worked for the Tion Hegemony. An elder statesman with many successful negotiations in his history, Harthan was called upon to intercede for the Troobs and Hobors on Tahlboor, hoping to create a lasting peace between the races while obtaining trading rights on Tahlboor. His son, Jake, however, was not interested in restoring peace to the planet. Instead, he wanted control of Mount Yeroc. Jake skillfully manipulated his father out of the counselor’s position, taking it for himself. Harthan was somewhat powerless to stop the ensuing struggles, but eventually discovered his son’s treachery with the help of R2-D2 and C-3PO. When the Troobs and Hobors realized that they could use Mount Yeroc as a way to bring their races together, they asked Harthan to tell the Tion Hegemony that they wanted to work things out on their own. (DRPC)

Harthan, Jake

ths son of the Tion Hegemony’s Counselor Harthan, Jake managed to acquire R2-D2 and C-3PO on Rudrig, after the droids left the service of Governor Wena on Kalarba. Jake later accompanied his father to Tahlboor. There, while his father was trying to work with the Hobors and Troobs to restore peace, Jake discovered the power of Mount Yeroc and the sky cannon. Hoping to obtain the power for himself, he set in motion a plan that would remove his father from the negotiations. This accomplished, Jake insinuated himself into the counselor’s position. From there, he silently killed Ket Krax and tried to frame Larka Nimondro for the murder. Jake hoped that this would ignite a civil war, removing him to take control of Mount Yeroc. Unfortunately, the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO discovered that Jake was the culprit. Although they only had the simplest of evidence, C-3PO bluffed Jake by claiming to have a holo-vid of the crime taking place, as well as fingerprints. In truth, all the droids had was the vibro-shiv used to commit the crime. They knew that the Hobors never used vibro-shivs, and took an educated guess. Jake fell for the bluff and admitted to the crime, taking Madame Krax hostage. She bit his hand and distracted him long enough for a Troob to launch a spear at him. The shot was truem and Jake was killed when he fell into the sky cannon he so desired. (DRPC)

Hask, Loka

this man attended from the Imperial Academy on Carida, but was expelled for grifting his classmates. He was returned to his homeworld just in time to witness the public execution of his father. Hask took his meager inheritance, along with the hidden caches of credits and valuables his father had stashed away, and bought a small starship. He began a small-time pirating operation, and eventually worked his way up to become the leader of the Bonestar Pirates. He led the Corellian authorities on a chase through the Corellian System in the armed freighter Buzzzer, and tried to lose them at Gus Treta. His plan was to create a large enough diversion to allow the pirates to escape from notice. He landed at the Jagged Antilles' fuel depot, and requested that his ship be refueled. In the midst of refueling, Hask ordered his ship to lift off. This resulted in a ruptured fuel linkage that spewed volatile fuel everywhere. The backwash from his ship's thrusters ignited the fuel, destroying the Antilles' depot. Jagged and Zena Antilles died trying to contain the damage, but Wedge was removed from the conflagration by Booster Terrik. Terrik did not stand in Wedge's way when the youth demanded revenge, and Hask found himself again the hunted. Wedge and Booster managed to severely damage the Pirate's ship, leaving them for dead. Hask, fearing for his own life, took the only usable spacesuit and escaped the destruction. However, a parasite had hidden in the suit, and attacked Hask. It latched onto his face, and Hask never found a suitable method for removing it without inflicting great damage to himself. He vowed to hunt down Wedge Antilles for the loss of his pirates and ship. He later managed to became a member of the Imperial forces, and was one of the neogitators trying to obtain the Mrlssi Phantom cloaking device. He was pitted against Wedge Antilles in the negotiations, and managed to frame the Rogues in an incident of theft. Wedge escaped, and was able expose Hask's treachery. However, Hask escaped to Rorax Falken's lab, where he discovered the gravitic polarization beam. When the suddenly activated, Hask was caught too near the device. It developed a huge feedback loop, opening a wormhole and swallowing Hask, the lab, and a nearby Star Destroyer. (XWPA, HXW)

One of the major modifications to the ship was the addition of a docking bay in the bottom. The ship chased Han Solo and Bria Tharen as they escaped from Ylesia with Murrrgh and Mrrov, but failed to capture them. The ship was also used to transport slaves off Ylesia, and was once attacked by Bria Tharen and her Corellian Resistance, who hoped to rescue the slaves. The crew was either dispatched or surrendered, and Bria took control of the starship. She renamed it Emancipator. (TPS, RD)

Het Nkik

a Jawa youth who, during the last years of the Empire, felt that Jawas should note be pacifists. He felt that any Jawa could stand up to any threat, given the right tools. He learned this after he was caught by a group of Sand People. He was able to drive them away by setting off an loud alarm on a crashed T-16 skyhopper he'd found. This attitude didn't sit well with Wimateeka, his clan leader, who clung to the belief that Jawas needed to remain as the galaxy's whipping dogs. Het and his best friend and clansman, Jek Nkik, once rebuilt a damaged E522 assassin droid, creating a messenger droid and selling it to Valarian. When Hrar Kkak sold him a DL-44 blaster at a Jawa swap meet, Het knew that he could use it to destroy some of the Imperial stormtroopers who were harassing the Jawas and Sand People. He was in the Mos Eisley cantina, planning his attack, when Luke Skywalker and Ben Kenobi were trying to book passage to Alderaan. While there, Het bargained with a Ranat named Reegesk for the possession of a bantha-horn talisman. The talisman was a sign of Het's success. He ran out into the street, not knowing that Reegesk had pocketed the blaster's power cell. Het attacked Davin Felth's squadron, but the gun proved useless.

Hethrir

a Firrerreo who had a remarkable amount of vision. He grew to a leadership position on Firrerre, and convinced his people that they had to colonize their nearby planetary neighbors or overrun their planet. However, they did not have hyperdrive capabilities yet, so they set out in sublight ships equipped with hibernation beds. He eventually fell in love with Rillao, and they were married.

When the Empire began hunt down alien races because of Palpatine's xenophobia, Hethrir and Rillao came within the influence of Darth Vader. Vader ecognized Hethrir's Force-sensitivity, and secretly kept both Hethrir and Rillao as Jedi students. As part of his Jedi training, Hethrir built a unique lightsaber, which could only be activated by using the Force to complete certain circuits. Vader also believed that a child of their union would be exceedingly strong. As Hethrir grew in power and eventually sired a son, Tigris, he gained favor in Vader's eyes. Tigris turned to have no Force sensititivy whatsoever, and was placed aboard one of the Firrerreo colony ships. Hethrir helped turn over his planet and his people to the Empire by allowing the Empire to biologically destroy Firrerre and by giving the Empire the colony ships' flight plans. These acts helped solidify Hethrir's position with Vader as it alienated him from Rillao, who strongly disagreed with Vader's plans. Vader eventually appointed him Procurator of Justice for the Empire, and the atrocities Hethrir perpetrated became infamous.

When Vader appointed Hethrir as the overseer for the Crseih Space Station, Hethrir turned the science outpost into a prison, cruelly torturing the prisoners there. This led to the emergence of Waru into the galaxy, and Hethrir struck a deal with Waru: absolute power over the Force in return for getting Waru back to his galaxy. This could only be accomplished by allowing Waru to consume a large amount of Force energy, and Hethrir began sacrificing his prisoners to Waru.

When the Empire crumbled after the Battle of Endor, Hethrir went into hiding, all the while formulating plans to restore the Empire. He eventually found Rillao again, and took her to the stranded colony ships, where he placed her in hibernation as he took Tigris as a slave. Hethrir had also determined that the Solo children were strong enough in the Force that they would help him return Waru to its own galaxy, and so he devised the kidnapping of the children on Munto Codru. Hethrir's plans were foiled, however, by a series of events which led to the New Republic's presence at Crseih station, and Hethrir was eventually consumed by Waru himself, allowing Waru to return to its own galaxy.

Higron set up his own base of operations on Oasis, much to the chagrin of Big Jak Targrim and the Riders. Higron felt that competition was the galactic way, and soon was making his own profits. Higron was a quiet supporter of the Alliance, so he only preyed on Imperial craft. The increased scrutiny of Imperial losses angered Targrim, and he vowed to capture a starship and ram it into the planet Oasis.

To this end, private tutors, fine schools, and unlimited expenses were at his disposal. His parents felt that Mirkovig was meant to do something truly wonderful. After reading about his ancestor, Arlo Hirken, and the adventures he had with Rin Assid, Mirkovig decided to pursue a career in economics and politics. He graduated with honors, and was hired by the Corporate Sector Authority. He was placed on the fast track to powerful positions, and was soon betrothed to the daughter of the Duke of Opatajji. Mirkovig and Neera were soon married, and her insensitivity placed undue demands on him to become more and more powerful and bring her more and more credits to spend.

As part of the Central Committee of Grand Moffs' plan to keep Triclops a secret and find a way to rule the galaxy following Palpatine's death, Hissa cultivated a friendship with Trioculus, knowing that the three-eyed mutant could be passed off as the true son of Palpatine. Hissa is severely disfigured on Duro, when the hazardous wastes from Imperial dumping grounds flood the Valley of Royalty. He falls into the wastes, which eat away most of his body. His arms were then replaced with the arms of an assassin droid, and his torso was encased on a repulsorlift floating chair. When the Prophets of the Dark Side sentenced him for treachery against the Empire, he was to be starved aboard Scardia until he was very near death. Then, his final meal would be given to him: a meal of biscuits laden with parasites that would consume him from the inside out. He never got that far, for Kadann, suspicious that Triclops' information on the Lost City of the Jedi was false, sent Hissa to investigate. Hissa was then incinerated in the molten lava core of Yavin 4, at the end of the false entrance to the City. (GDV, MMY, QE, PDS)

Hive Wars

a period of Kubaz culture prior to their discovery of space travel. They Kubaz, struggling to exist on Kubindi despite the intense solar radiation from the star Ku'Bakai, turned to consuming insects. Each Kubaz clan maintained its own hive of insects for food, but some were still lacking in sustenance. This sparked a series of inter-clan raids on each others' insect hives, which eventually led to all-out wars between neighboring clans. These Hive Wars were slowly killing off the Kubaz until their discovery of Insecticulture, which allowed the Kubaz geneticists to alter the coloration of an insect, thereby identifying whole hives of insects as belonging to a certain clan. This science also allowed them to breed stronger, heartier insects, and eventually allowed them to provide for all. (SCRE)

Ho'Din

a humanoid race with snakelike head appendages, the Ho'Din have a lilting, singsong language punctuated by movements of their head appendages. Native to the planet Moltok, these gentle humanoids are known for their ability to treat illnesses and disease using natural methods, rather than technology. The word "Ho'Din" means "walking flower," a reference to their unusual head appendages. The Ho'Din can grow to be 3 meters tall and, like the Ithorians, they worship nature and have established laws which prevent the destruction of their environment. Cold-blooded in nature, the Ho'Din have two hearts, which pump green blood. The appendages on their heads are actually temperature-sensitive, and allow the Ho'Din to monitor the ambient temperature and maintain body heat. Their hands have four thick fingers, and a small webbing between them indicates the Ho'Din's amphibious ancestry. As a species, the Ho'Din are recent additions to the galaxy, descending from arboreal creatures about 300 years before the Galactic Civil War. In their rush to make room for an increasing population and evolving technology, the Ho'Din cleared much of the surface of Moltok in what is now referred to as the "great rape of the land." This led to a virulent epidemic that decimated the species. Years of research led to an understanding of the disease, and brought to light a natural remedy that technology couldn't provide. This formed the basis of their medical knowledge, and the succeeding generations were taught about the dangers of technology and "progress." The average lifespan of a Ho'Din is about 120 standard years. (TLC, GG4, LCJ)

The rest of their faces are cat-like, with a long, flat nose and toothy mouths. Like their cousins the Troobs, most Hobors has a thick mane of hair covering the backs of their heads. Most of the Hobors are heavyset in build. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, the Troobs and Hobors appealed to Tion Hegemony to assist in reconciling a generations-old feud between them. Counselor Harthan was called in, but was manipulated out of position by his son, Jake, who hoped to get the two races to destroy each other so he could control Mount Yeroc. Eventually, with the help of R2-D2 and C-3PO, Jake’s plans were thwarted and peace was restored. (DRPC)

Hodge

this Starfly pilot worked at Mining Station Alpha during the Galactic Civil War. He was the chief officer of the outpost, but had only two other workers stationed with him. He frequently worked with the Ithorian Fandomar, providing the Ithorians with minerals they need. What he didn't know is that most Ithorian visits were also used to make sure that the tomb which held Spore was intact. However, after discovering the tomb in an air pocket within the asteroid, Hodge was lured back to the tomb and was infected with Spore's entity. When Fandomar tried to escape the asteroid and return to Ithor, she unwittingly brought Hodge - and Spore - with her. Hodge attacked just as a rescue team came to recover them, with black vines snaking from his mouth to entwine and infect the Ithorians. Hodge also managed to capture and infect Hoole and Zak before being cornered by Jerec. Jerec offered Spore the chance to get off Ithor, if it would infect the crew of the Vengeance and allow Jerec to take control of the ship for his own powers. Spore agreed, but never planned to honor the agreement. Since Hodge was the primary host, Spore took his body aboard the Star Destroyer and infected the entire crew in just a few hours, then tried to take control of Tash Arranda. She escaped the warship and fled into the asteroids near Ithor, and Spore gave chase. A group of space slugs managed to destroy the Vengeance, leaving much of her crew dead. Many members, like Hodge, were expelled into the vacuum of space and killed. Spore, however, simply went dormant and waited for someone to recover Hodge's body. (GOF9)

Hodidiji

this New Republic Senator was swayed by Tig Peramis and Cian Marook to align with the Yevetha during the Great Purge. Hodidiji yielded his time on the Senate floor to Peramis and Nil Spaar, who used the time to distort the actions of Leia Organa-Solo to his own ends. (BTS)

this Old Republic manufacturer designed of some of the most popular sublight drives and starships. HKD was also wholly owned by Duroes investors, until they were forced to sell to a Nimbanese clan. They tried to make the company more streamlined and began selling off less profitable divisions, but the company continued to bring in mediocre profits. HKD has since been sold too many times to mention, and builds fewer than 100 ships per yer since the Galactic Civil War. (SWSB, EGV)

Hoersch-Kessel Ion Drive

this popular sublight drive uses a power source to generate ions, which are expelled through an exhaust nacelle to create thrust. It uses almost any material as a power source. Although it works best with heavy metals, the H-K Ion Drive can use cryogenic cells, liquid reactants, and ion pods as power sources. The fuel is first broken down into nuclear energy and converted to ions. These ions are then expelled from the ship, which causes the ship to move in the direction opposite the thrust. Given that the H-K Ion Drive creates radioactive nuclear energy, any ship that is equipped with one must require towing or the addition of a repulsorlift to travel within a planet's atmosphere. Their use is extremely widespread, and they are low-maintenance drives. (SWSB)

Hoff, Colby

a business competitor of Prince Xizor's, Colby Hoff once took a gamble that he was smarter than Xizor. In the end, Xizor won the gamble and Hoff was ruined. He committed suicide by firing a blaster into his mouth. His son tried to avenge the suicide when Darth Vader secretly allowed him into a secure passageway under Imperial City. Xizor was walking the corridor to meet with Palpatine, and the son attacked. His attack failed miserably, as Xizor quickly disabled him and snapped his neck. (SE)

Hohass Ekwesh

this Thakwaash was one of the first members of Wraith Squadron. Like most Takwaash, he was covered in short, brown fur, and had a cascade of chestnut-brown hair falling from his head. Although he stood just under two meters in height, he was known as "Runt" to the rest of his team, because he was the smallest of the children in his family. His size allowed him to pilot a starfighter, and he joined the New Republic to fly. However, the Thakwaash characteristic multiple minds became his undoing, as the pilot mind would weave in and out of command and leave him bewildered in several situations. He was chosen for duty with the Wraiths because the pilot mind was quite intelligent and was a good pilot. Runt also served as the squadron's physical trainer. (WS)

It was lit by the Glowpoint, and provided nearly all the foodstuffs needed to keep the inhabitants fed. However, when the station began generating strange pulses timed with the destruction of stars listed on the Starbuster plot, the Glowpoint incinerated everything in Hollowtown until the oxygen ran out. When Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian first see it, the toxic residues of the destruction make Hollowtown unlivable. Lando later finds that Hollowtown and the Glowpoint were components of the huge power supply needed to keep the hyperspatial tractor beam operational. The Glowpoint acted as a pilot light, which Hollowtown was a battery of sorts. (SC)

HoloNet

Once the main vehicle for spreading news instantaneously thoroughout the galaxy, the Holonet used subspace relays to transmit three-dimensional images to various holonet receivers. This media distribution system allowed the Old Republic to have instant access to any inhabited location in the galaxy. It was created from hundreds of thousands of non-mass transceivers connected through an incredible matrix of coordinated SimuTunnels. Each endpoint was equippde with a huge computer system that decoded and sorted the transmitted information. Unfortunately, the HoloNet was incredibly expensive to maintain and operate.

Honoghr

this once-lush paradise of a planet is the homeworld of the Noghri, and was virtually unknown until it was nearly devastated following a starship battle in its orbit. The Emperor, upon discovering the Noghri, conceived of a plot to enslave Noghri, with the help of Darth Vader. The huge space battle took place above the planet, and one of the ships was destroyed. It plummeted to the planet's surface, setting off earthquakes and releasing toxic chemicals into the atmosphere. When Vader arrived to offer aid, the Noghri readily accepted, and made Vader their Lord and Savior. However, Palpatine had arranged that the decon droids sent to the planet would continue to poison it by planting modified kholm grass. This modified grass would choke out all other vegetation, while making it appear that the planet could still support life. When Princess Leia and Chewbacca discovered the plot following the downfall of the Empire, they quickly worked with the Noghri to remedy the situation. After the deception of Darth Vader and the Emperor was made apparent to the Noghri, they quickly joined the New Republic. However, all efforts to restore the planet’s broken ecosystem turned out to be futile, as the once-green world was incapable of recovering. The Noghri eventually relocated to the planet Wayland, leaving Honoghr for dead.

It is the fourth planet in the Honoghr system and has three natural satellites. The system is located near Kessel and Fwillsving. Honoghr has a rotation of 23 hours, and its orbit lasts about 352 local days. (DFR, DFRSB, SOP)

(Indeterminate) Hoole

this Shi'ido was a Senior Anthropologist assigned to investigating many planets and adding information about them to the Empire's planetary database. He used the Shi'ido's ability to shape-shift as a way to blend in with planetary races, easing his transition into their culture and opening them up to his questions. He once did a report on Tatooine, detailing the lives of the Jawas, Sand People, and even Jabba the Hutt's retinue. When Hoole realized what the Empire stood for, he fled Imperial service and returned to Tatooine seeking Jabba's help. Through the crimelord's various sources, Hoole managed to get all records of his existence erased from the Imperial databanks, and he was given a new identity. Hoole also acted as the uncle of Tash and Zak Arranda during the Galactic Civil War, after their parents were killed when the Death Star destroyed Alderaan. He had become a research scientist, and worked for a number of years with the droid DV-9.

After Kressh discovered that Sadow had tricked the Sith into believing an Old Republic war force was coming, Horak-mul and Dor Gal-ram followed Kresh to Rhelg to plan an attack on Sadow. They led the Sith fleet to Khar Delba, and were extremely confident when the fortress put up little resistance. Horak-mul , however, was unaware of the deception of Naga Sadow, who was hiding on Khar Shian. He was also unaware that many of Sadow’s spies were onboard his ship. When Sadow gave the command, the spies attacked Horak-mul and killed him just before Sadow defeated Ludo Kressh. (GAS)

He proves himself equal to Tilonty in this ability by solidifying Leia Organa's internal organs, leaving Splendid Ap to return her to normal. (CSWDW)

Horn, Corran

this Corellian was a Captain at one time in Wedge Antilles' Rogue Squadron. Corran was a member of the Corellian Security Force before trying out for Rogue Squadron. He joined the training academy as his father had before him, and excelled in the training at a level above his father's. He worked with Iella Wessiri under Gil Bastra, and fell in with Bastra's anti-Imperial philosophy. Corran and Bastra created false smuggler ids for each other, the Wessiri's, and two other Alliance supporters, and then staged a scenario in which Corran killed them in cold blood. Corran claimed that he was only following the orders of Kirtan Loor, but Loor felt that Corran was trying to upstage him. When Corran defected to the Alliance, Loor put out an Imperial deathmark on Corran's head. Corran's father didn't approve of his defection, considering him an outlaw for joining. However, Hal Horn was much happier that his son hadn't become an Imperial. During one of his training simulations, Corran tried to change the basic set of maneuvers for the Requiem scenario, slowing to a near-stop to trying and draw the TIE Fighters, and TIE Bombers to him and away from the Redemption. He succeeded, making nine kills and surviving Antilles himself, who was piloting a TIE Fighter. Corran later became one of Antilles' best pilots, taking on the hardest missions and surviving them. Corran kept his grandfather's JedCred on a chain around his neck, rubbing it for luck during these missions. He was instrumental in the liberation of Borleias from the Empire, and went undercover to assist the New Republic in gaining information on Coruscant. However, while on the Coruscant mission, Corran's Z-95 Headhunter was brought down by remote control - presumably by Tycho Celchu - and crashed in the Invisible Sector of Coruscant's Imperial City. He was captured and brought to Ysanne Isard at Lusankya for interrogation. He proved to be incorrigible, and Isard consigned him to the rock mines. There, he met the prisoner Jan and devised an escape plan. Corran discovered that the gravity at Lusankya was reversed to keep the prisoners disoriented, and escaped to discover that Lusankya was buried beneath Imperial City. After spending six weeks in the Lusankya facility, he arrived at Tycho's trial and proved Tycho innocent. He also relayed information on a hidden Jedi museum buried near Lusankya to Luke Skywalker, who found the museum in a hidden section of the Galactic Museum. Luke offered Corran the chance to become a Jedi Knight, but Corran refused. He opted to continue to serve with Rogue Squadron. It was at about this time that Corran became romantically involved with Mirax Terrik, a situation whose irony was not lost on either of them. Corran's father, Hal, had been the one to send Booster Terrik to Kessel for smuggling. Mirax, though, held none of her father's enmity, and wasted no time in agreeing to marry Corran. After the Battle of Thyferra, they were married by Wedge Antilles aboard the Lusankya, in order to avoid any interference from Booster. A more elaborate ceremony was held on Coruscant upon their return. Corran remained with Rogue Squadron, and spent time battling Grand Admiral Thrawn and the reborn Emperor Palpatine's forces at Coruscant - the home he and Mirax build was one of the first victims of the falling Star Destroyer Liberator. When the battle to eliminate the Invid pirates led Mirax into danger, Corran joined Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 and began to learn more about the Force. A rival of Gantoris, Corran was a slow but steady learner. However, after the defeat of Exar Kun and following a visit with his grandfather on Corellia, Corran realized that he didn't need to become a Jedi to find Mirax. He infiltrated the Khuiumin Survivors and joined the Invids, attracting the attention of Leonia Tavira. In order to scatter the Invids, he started portraying an "avenging Jedi" on Courkrus, killing Shala the Hutt before getting most of the Invids to flee. When he came under the attack of Tavira's Jensaarai warriors, though, he was rescued by Luke Skywalker and took off to rescue Mirax on Suarbi 7/5. They succeeded in rescuing here, then Corran used his ability with the Force to lead Tavira to believe she was under attack by the New Republic and the destroyed Sun Crusher. Tavira fled, and things slowly returned to normal. Corran opted not to return to Yavin 4, a decision which Luke agreed to wholeheartedly. Luke did allow Corran one parting gesture, though: Corran destroyed Exar Kun's statue and temple on Yavin 4 with a volley of proton torpedoes, forever eliminating the focal point of Sith energy on the moon. (XWN, WG, KT, BW, IJ)

Horn, Hal

Corran Horn's father, Hal's given name was Valin Halcyon. After his father, Nejaa Halcyon, was killed in the Clone Wars, Rostek Horn married Hal's mother and erased all information on the Halcyon family. He hoped this would hide his new family from Emperor Palpatine, and the name Hal was used to honor to Nejaa Halcyon. Hal was ten years old when Nejaa died. He was an excellent graduate of the Corellian Security Force Academy, and attended the Academy twenty years before his son. Hal Horn was once given the assignment to investigate the explosion on Gus Treta that killed Wedge Antilles' parents. Hal kept a watchful eye on Wedge, but declared him a hopeless fool when Wedge started running weapons for the Alliance. Hal was killed on a mission with Corran, during which they were met with little resistance. They were trying to intercept a smuggling ship, but so was the bounty hunter Bossk. Corran had become relaxed, and wasn't checking other sensors because the smuggler was in their sights. Bossk, under a valid Imperial warrant, was trying to target the smuggler, but strafed Hal Horn's ship with enough laser fire to disintegrate it. Bossk was released by Kirtan Loor, who cited the inherent lack of dexterity in Trandoshans as the reason Bossk's lasers caught Horn instead of the smuggler. Corran held himself responsible for the death of his father for many years. Hal's father was friends with a Jedi Knight from Corellia. They worked together for years before the Jedi became a Master. The Master presented Hal's father with a JedCred before he was killed in the Clone Wars. The medallion was given to Hal, who later passed it on to Corran. (XWN, WG, KT, BW, IJ)

Horn, Rostek

Corran Horn's adopted grandfather, Rostek was also a member of the Corellian Security Force and a contemporary of Fliry Vorru. He was good friend's with Corran's real grandfather, Nejaa Halcyon, and took care of his family after Halcyon's death. Rostek used his position within CorSec to eliminate all traces of the Halcyon family, hoping to hide Nejaa's widow and young son from Palpatine's Jedi purge. Rostek eventually married Nejaa's widow, and cared for her son Valin, whom they renamed Hal in honor of Nejaa Halcyon. Rostek lived to a ripe old age, but was held on Corellia by the will of the Diktat, even after the Battle of Endor. In his spare time, Rostek was known in several circles as the producer of some of Corellia's most beautiful flowers, hybrids he created in his private greenhouse. When the Diktat modified the Corellian Security Force into the Public Safety Service, he burned down Rostek's house - as well as Hal Horn's - hoping to eliminate the files Rostek had kept on public officials and other influential people. Rostek, however, had maintained several copies, and they began showing up in the mail of these officials, marked with one of the beautiful hybrid blossoms. In return for his continued silence, Rostek was awarded a grand new residence on the site of his old one. The PSS maintained watches on Rostek, and even tried to infiltrate his staff. Much had been made about Rostek's use of blossoms when sending his messages, and leaders debated the relative meanings of a live flower versus and cut specimen. In reality, Rostek had been using the redundant genes in the flowers' DNA to encode information about the Halcyon heritage, in hopes that Corran or Hal would return and claim it. (KT, TFE, BW, IJ)

Horn, Valin

this was the name given to the first son of Corran Horn and Mirax Terrik. Valin was born about four years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. He was named for his grandfather, Valin Halcyon. (SOP)

It has a thin, rounded body with insectile wings that can be deployed in atmospheres. The command pod has its own section, and can be jettisoned in emergencies. It is lightly armored and shielded, but is highly maneuverable. It employs a pair of laser cannons - which can be upgraded to turbocharged laser cannons - as its only armament. The Hornet was initially used only by Tenloss and those groups it allowed access to the Hornet, although shady deals with other criminals and organizations have made the Hornet available elsewhere. The Hornet measures 14 meters in length. (JS, EGV, JASB)

construction site for the first Death Star, it is located in the Outer Rim Territories. (SWR, MTS, DS)

Horvat

this gruff Rodian served as one of Guldus Bemm’s henchmen, and was one of his majordomos within the Canyon Mining Facility heirarchy. When Bemm contacted Luke Skywalker with a false story about strange crystals found in several caverns, the pirates hoped to capture Skywalker and turn him over to Advisor Bregius Golthan, thereby ensuring the colony’s survival. Horvat led a group of New Republic operatives to the site for further investigation. What they discovered was a double-cross, and the cavern was actually filled with Imperial AT-STs. (SWJ8)

Horvik

this member of the Vengeance group was the second team sent to disrupt activity in Drev'starn, to cover the work of Navett and Klif in taking out the city's shield generator. Horvic and Pensin posed as the night clean-up crew at a Ho-Din cafe near the generator site. He later assisted them in digging out a tunnel to gain access to the power generators of the shields. Once Navett was in place and ready to take out the shield generator, Horvik accompanied Klif anfd Pensin on a sabotage mission.

Hosk Station

an Alderaan Royal Engineers Esseles-class spacestation located in orbit around Kalarba, it was built across the sruface of Kalarba's largest moon. The station was originally designed to be an Old Republic supply and maintenance post, a role which it served for thousands of years. The expansion of the galaxy brought more and more colonists to the surrounding systems, and suddenly Hosk Station was no longer as important as it used to be. The station was sold to civilian interests on the planet Kalarba. The station was nearly destroyed by Olag Greck when a droid barge delivered C-3PO, R2-D2, and IG-88 to the station. C-3PO and R2-D2 had been put up for auction by their previous owner, Master Wena, and were being shipped to Hosk for assignment. IG-88 escaped, and C-3PO and R2-D2 were jettisoned to the planet Kalarba, where they were acquired by the Pitareeze family. C-3PO and R2-D2 returned to the station with Nak and his grandfather, and were left to join a group of renegade droids who were ready to rebel against Olag Greck's war droids and their control over them. Under the careful command of Unit Zed, the droids were able to defeat Greck's various war droids and foil Greck's attempt to steal a load of ash ore. In the process, they also were able to reroute an explosion rigged by Greck to blow up the stations' power core. (DRO, EGV)

Hoth

this snow planet is the sixth planet in the Hoth system, located in the Ison Corridor. It orbits a distant, blue-white star, and has three natural satellites. Just outside the orbit of Hoth is a huge asteroid belt, which is believed to be the result of the collision of two planets eons ago. Its remote location made it the perfect site for an Alliance base three years after the Battle of Yavin. It orbits its star inside a treacherous belt of asteroids, making any approach to the planet very hazardous. Many smaller asteroids get pulled in by Hoth's gravity, and rain down on the planet as meteors. The planet's normal daytime temperature was some thirty-degrees below zero, and its high-velocity wind and snow storms make it extremely inhospitable. Hoth has a fair amount of seismic activity, which is constantly changing the various ice formations and creating vast, natural ice caves and tunnels. It is for these reasons that Alliance Major Kem Monnon chose it for Echo Base. Its harsh, frozen climate has given rise to only two major lifeforms, the Wampa ice creature and the tauntaun. Small rodents, wirelike ice worms, and hardy lichens complete a minimal foodchain. (ESB, ISU, GG2)

Hoth Hog

this compact creature was a boar-like snow creature that lived on the planet Hoth. (RA)

Hotshot

this was a nickname given by the Corellian Security Force to any blaster which had the trigger guard removed.

The houjix is a blue- and yellow-striped quadriped with large teeth, a spiked, club-like tail, and two feet on each of the front two legs. Chewbacca had a holographic representation of a houjix on his holochess board on the Millennium Falcon. (CCG2)

Houk

an extremely large, humanoid race originally from the Ansuroer Sector, the Houk have spread throughout the galaxy following thei contact with a Vaathkree trading ship. Their skin is colored deep blue or purple, and their eyes are apiercing yellow. They are second in the galaxy in brute strength only to the Wookiee race, but they do not display the violent rage of the Wookiee. However, they have short tempers none the less, and prefer fighting over any other solution to a problem. The Houk generally use any method possible to gain an advantage over their opponents, including sneaking up on them and attacking from behind. Thus, many other races consider them cowards. The Houk which settled on the planet Sriluur were often at war with their neighbors, the Weequay, until the Empire stepped in and subjugated both races. The Empire used the Houk as a basis for creating the "perfect slave," but it is unknown if their program was successful. The Houk race has produced few technological advancements, but has adapted well to the use of hyperdrives and modern weapons. (HSL, GG12, SWAJ, CRO)

Houk-Weequay Conflicts

a series of brutal wars between the two native races on Sriluur. (SWAJ)

Houlilan

this alien - an Ithorian? - was a member of the Alien Combine on Coruscant. (WG)

Hound's Tooth

Bossk's modified YV-666 starship, it was purchased by the bounty hunter after his previous ship was destroyed on Gandolo IV. Bossk had it highly modified from its origins as a light freigheter, including shields and weapons upgrades. Much of the ship was rebuilt to accomodate the Trandoshan physiology, and Bossk had a specialized set of controls added to allow him to simply rest his arms in a pair of troughs and control the ship via movements of his body. The Hound’s Tooth was also one of the few ships that was capable of changing course while in hyperspace. Bossk also added an X10-D droid brain to control shipboard systems. This brain responds to verbal commands, which allows Bossk to have access to ship's systems from anywhere on the ship. Note that while the Star Wars: Customizable Card Game: Dagobah says that X10-D is the computer system, Tales of the Bounty Hunters indicates that X10-D was a huge service droid used by Bossk to move cargo. The droid X10-D had no built-in computer, but took commands from the Hound’s Tooth. Bossk also keeps the Nashtah Pup hidden in one of the holds for emergency use. The Hound was a tempermental ship, as the main computer worked to control every on-board system while reacting to Bossk’s verbal commands. When Bossk allowed Chenlambec and Tinian I’att to pilot the ship, they introduced the ship’s computer to Flirt. Flirt eventually insinuated herself into the computer core, and showed it that Bossk was willing to sacrifice the ship in order to keep Chen’s pelt intact. The computer rebelled, locking out Bossk from making any verbal commands while keeping the Trandoshan locked in a freezer-locker. After delivering Bossk to Imperial Governor Io Desnand, Chen and Tinian took control of the Hound for themselves. (MTS, EGV, CCG4, TBH)

a former chef who worked for Olag Greck, Huba was in charge of preparing a feast for one of Greck's Hutt criminal partners. Greck tried to poison the food, but didn't put enough in it. When the Hutt tried to execute Greck, he blamed the slightly-poisoned food on Huba and his team of chefs. They were enslaved by the Hutt and put to work in crystal mines until they managed to escape some months later. Huba and his chefs became pirates, in an attempt to raise enough money to repay Greck's treachery. Captain Huba was encountered by C-3PO and R2-D2 during their adventures on Kalarba, just prior to the Galactic Civil War. He was a grey-skinned humanoid with a thick neck and pointed ears. He attacked the Tharen Wayfarer to steal what he could, since Olag Greck's shipment's had stopped flying through Kalarba's ports. He was fond of a good Stenness Pie.

Eventually, the pro-Human Imperial doctrine started to sink in, and Huoba started thinking about joined the Alliance. Sian Tevv had told Ackbar about her outstanding accomplishments, and Ackbar needed good starship commanders, so she was accepted into the Alliance. She became the youngest Republic warship commander following the victory in the Illoud System, and she was given command of the Rebel Star. Huoba Neva perished when the ship collided with the burned-out hull of a Star Destroyer as it emerged from hyperspace near Coruscant. The Rebel Star was part of the small New Republic fleet sent to rescue the crew of the Liberator, and the Alliance mourned her passing. (DE1, DESB)

Emperor Palpatine routinely flooded his audience chamber with small amounts of this gas, ensuring that his visitors were in awe and fear of him. (POT)

Hurlothrumbic Generator

a device which produces energy waves that cause the human brain to react with varying levels of fear, depending on the strength of the waves. It was designed and developed by Doctor Lorenz Hurlorthrumb, some time after the Battle of Yavin. Moff Bandor helped finance the development, and experimented with the use of the device during the Galactic Civil War on the planet Questal. Bandor modified the generator, adding specific "doomsday programming" to set off ever-increasingly intense waves of fear. Once activated, the generator will eventually develop such powerful waves that it would drive every inhabitant of the planet Questal mad with fear. He was apprehended by a squad of Alliance agents before he could put it to wide-scale use. (GCQ)

Hurn Jak

this Th'iruckai teruk was a rival of Oolan Krim, and had planted several spies in Krim's clan. When Jak discovered that Krim was negotiating with a group of offworld scouts for weapons, Jak arranged for them to be posioned with yurfloo in order to force them to provide him with the weapons. Hurn Jak held the only known antidote. The slowly dying scouts discovered the source of the enmity between the clans, and arranged to get the teruks together to discuss a cease-fire after learning that the war between the clans was based on an ancient misunderstanding. (GMS)

Hurricane 506

a model of Bespin Motors twin-pod cloud car. In the Hurricane configuration, one pod is used for pilot and co-pilot, while the other contains the power generators needed to power the weapons and engines.

Hutt

  1. a large, slug-like alien with short, stubby arms, huge eyes, and a wide mouth. They originated on the planet Varl, but have populated a great number of other worlds including Nal Hutta. They speak their own language, and have the ability to see in visible light as well as ultraviolet light. They often light their palaces with both, turning off the natural lighting to give trespassers a false sense of stealth. Desite the sheer bulk of their flesh, Hutts do not have a skeleton. Instead, an internal mantle helps shape the head and support the arms, while the rest of their body is simply one large, snail-like foot. The skin of a Hutt is incredibly thick, and is covered with a mixture of mucus and oily sweat. This makes the skin able to resist harsh chemicals and even some blaster bolts. Below the epidermis is a thick layer of blubber that helps maintain body temperature and makes it impossible to puncture their skin with a knife. Hutts are also hermaphroditic, often choosing to appear as one sex or the other for the benefit of their audience. Young Hutts spend their first year of life inside a pouch on their mother’s belly, and are virtually mindless. They live near their mothers for several decades after birth, returning to their pouches when they are scared or tired. Young Hutts aren’t considered accountable until they are well over 100 years old. All Hutts have a given name, which is supported by their clan name and their surname (eg., Jabba Desilijic Tiure). The history of the Hutt race can be traced to the early times before the formation of the Old Republic. They were a strong force even then, dominating large portions of the space surrounding their homeworld. After the discovery of the hyperdrive, the Hutts began expanding their territories, but ran into Xim the Despot. Xim and the Hutts fought several fierce battle near the uninhabited world of Vontor, until the Hutts discovered the Si'Klaata Cluster and the strong, warrior-like races it hid. The Hutts managed to sign the Klatooinans, Niktos, and Vodrans into perpetual servitude, and used many warriors during the Third Battle of Vontor. This was the decisive battle against Xim, and left the Hutts in control of large areas of the galaxy. However, the Hutts could not escape their own greedy nature, and soon began to covet each other’s holdings. Interclan wars broke out, and the clans eventually broke off relations with each other. When they realized that this was bad for business, they began exchanging messengers. The Hutts took to killing the messengers if they didn’t like the message, but this further impaired business. So, the Hutts made a pact which recognized messengers as sacrosanct. As a race, Hutts do not trust any other races, atrait that stems from an incident in which all prominent Hutts on Nal Hutta were executed by an assassin. (ROTJ, COTF, ZHR, GG4, GG12, TPS, THG, RD)
  2. this was the name given to the jizz band led by Sluggo the Hutt and fronted by the Kitonak Anarc. (GMS)

Hutt Caravel

a short-range transport ship used by the Hutt crime lords to shuttle between Nal Hutta and Nar Sahddaa. No two caravels are alike, for each Hutt has tried to outdo his brethren in expressing his individuality. There are varying ranges of luxury in the caravels, depending on the Hutt's financial power. Most are basically transports that can be modestly armed. Most caravels have escape pods for their Hutt owners, but none for the crew. (DE1, DESB, EGV)

Hutt Clan of Ancients

this governmental body rules much of the Hutt society. (GG12)

Hutt Floater

the repulsorlift platform that Hutts use to move around, since their bulk and lack of limbs prevents self-locomotion. (ROTJ, DE1)

Hydian Way

a route through the galactic Core that was blazed by Freia Kallea nearly three thousand years before the Galactic Civil War. The Hydian Way runs from the middle of the Core out to the Corporate Sector. It intersects the Perlemian Trade Route in the Bormea Sector, at the planet Brentaal. (SWAJ)

Hydra

one of the four Imperial-I class Star Destroyer stationed at the Maw Installation by Grand Moff Tarkin, the Hydra was under the command of Sten Thanas. It was destroyed when Han, Kyp, and Qwi Xux tried to escape in the Sun Crusher.

She has a great hunger for knowledge, and makes it a point to fully study and learn the physiology of any and all races she comes into contact with. This is how she came to understand the medical needs of Wookiees. (CS)

Hypercoil

this hyperdrive component is used to condense energy for transmission to the hyperdrive motivator. (OS)

Hyperdrive

the starship engine and its components which allows the ship to travel at supralight speeds through hyperspace. It works with the ship's NavCom unit to assure direction and course changes necessary to maneuver through hyperspace without encountering gravity shadows. Most hyperdrives require a fusion generator to propel a ship through space.

The hyperdrive is built from a titanium-chromium compound that can withstand the forces needed to push through the space-time fabric of realspace into the hyperspacial continuum. The hyperdrive uses modified gamma radiation to create electromagnetic energy that, when ejected from the hyperdrive, cause the realspace time-space matrix to ripple. The hyperdrive continues to eject electromagnetic energy to push against these ripples, propelling the ship into hyperspace.

It is rumored that the hyperdrive was invented eons ago by a space-faring race from outside the known galaxy. When this race encountered the known galaxy, it first came upon the Corellian System. There, the aliens sold the secrets of the hyperdrive to the Corellians, who studied it for decades before producing their first, working hyperdrive. Interstellar exploration and unification began in earnest. After about 20 years, the Corellians began selling their ideas to other star systems, and a huge galactic community was born, which later evolved into the Old Republic. (SW, ESB, SWSB, TT)

Hyperdrive Motivator

the starship component which is responsible for building up the energies necessary to propel a ship into hyperspace. The hyperdrive motivator creates an electromagnetic field around a starship, and then projects that field into hyperspace. Once in hyperspace, the hyperdrive motivator employs trilithium crystals to propel the ship through the continuum. When the ship's destination is reached, the hyperdrive motivator projects the ship's field back into realspace and cuts the trilithium drive. (ESB, SCRE, GG6)

Hyperdrive Shunt

this device, which is part of a starship’s hyperdrive, allows excess heat and power to be bled off before it can damage the hyperdrive itself. (DA)

Hyperdust

a slang term, used when outrunning an opponent and reaching hyperspace ("Eat my hyperdust"). (COJ)

Hypergate

this development of Gree technology is unique in the galaxy. Resembling a doorframe or archway, the hypergate is controlled by a Gree gatemaster. At the activation of the gatemaster, a hypergate can be used to transport a being from its current position to another terminus, which is itself another hypergate. This remote hypergate can be in the next town or several planets away. In esense, these are personal transportation devices, and would have reduced the role of starships in the galaxy if the ability to create and maintain them hadn’t been lost over time. Now, just a handful of hypergates exist, all within the Gree Enclave. (SWJ8)

Hypergleanum

this gland, located in the brain, produces chemicals which help the brain understand sensory input. (CFG)

Hyperspace compass

a navigation computer component which determines a starship's spatial coordinates. (DE1)

Hyperspace Courier Tube

a coffin-sized device which is used to transport a shipment through hyperspace without the need for a starship. (DA)

Hyperspace Marauder

Lo Khan's modified Xiytiar-class transport ship. It isn't very fast, and was unarmed (that was the way Lo Khan liked it) for a long time. He has added increased shielding and has beefed up the hull strength, and he keeps primarily to the best-known shipping lanes to avoid being ambushed. If he ever was ambushed, Lo Khan had installed a unique computer and communications system that allowed him to access his attacker's shipboard computers. The attackers suddenly find that they can't control their own ship, let alone the Marauder, which puts Lo Khan in a great bargaining position. After the emergence of the cloned Emperor Palpatine on Byss and the appearance of Han Solo, Lo Khan added a pair of 700 Penetrator laser cannons for defense. (DE1, DESB, DE2)

Hyperspace Orbiting Scanner

developed by Geothray Camber and implemented by Lindu Sencker, this device was developed for the Empire to eavesdrop into virtually any computer system in the galaxy. The HOS orbits a world in hyperspace, and monitors the hyperspace shadows left by the electrons flowing through computer networks. The HOS is programmed to understand the multitude of intergalactic programming languages, and deciphers the shadows into recognizable system commands. It has been used near almost 500,000 of the galaxy's planets, and boasted a 78% success rate. (ISB)

Hyperspace Pulsemass Generator

this grandly-named Imperial weapon was often referred to in more simple terms as a pebble-spreader. Its primary use is to create and scatter tiny spheres of hyperenergy into an area of space. These spheres, much like the fields produced by gravity well projectors, block a ship's ability to travel through hyperspace near them. The problem with these devices is that the tiny hyperenergy sphere dissipate their energy quickly, limiting the effective duration of the blockade. (ISB)

Hyperspace Roamer

a cargo ship given permission to make the Byss Run during the rise of Palpatine's second clone there. The Hyperspace Roamer was cleared to land at port tower Tarkin-12 just before Shug Ninx and Salla Zend arrived to try and recover Salla's ship. (DE2)

Hyperspace Security Net

a network of hyperspace traffic lanes that are controlled by the Empire. The security net allows entry and exit from the Deep Core, and it is continually monitored for unauthorized traffic. (DE1)

Hyperspace transponder

the basis for hyperspace communication, it sends out weak pulses of energy which contains a message. They are not very reliable. (DE1)

Hyperspace War

a devastating war which took place thousands of years before the Jedi Assembly on Deneba, it was alluded to by Shatoyo. It was a great battle between the Light and Dark Sides of the Force. (DLS)

Hyperspace wormhole

a natural phenomenon in which suddenly connects two positions in the galaxy via a tunnel through hyperspace. The wormhole is accompanied by huge energy storms. These wormholes often occur just after large disturbances in the Force. (DE1)

Hyperspacial Continuum

a dimension of the space-time continuum that can only be reached at supralight speeds. It transcends the four normal dimensions of length, width, depth, and time, and is analogous to a dimension floats above them. It allows space travelers to "jump" from a specific point in realspace to another point is realspace without having to travel directly between them. It corresponds directly with realspace, and any point in realspace has a matching point in hyperspace. Physical bodies in realspace also exist in hyperspace, but as gravity shadows of their true selves. The direction a starship travels is also similar in hyperspace as it is in realspace. (SW, SWSB)

Hypervelocity Gun

this planetary defense weapon uses a huge powerplant to drive a firing mechanism. The powerplant is buried underground, as is the weapon's ray- and particle-shield generators. This supports the weapon during firing, when it blasts super-accelerated slugs at its target. The HVG can fire up to 120 slugs per minute, in between shield bursts. The slugs can penetrate ray shielding, and make quick work of most particle shields. (BTS)

Hyperware

generic term that is used to describe the starship systems that allow the ship to transition from sublight drive to hyperdrive. (LCF)

Hyperwave Inertial Momentum Sustainer

abbreviated HIMS, this device was developed on Bakura. In its simplest form, this is a specially-built hyperspace coil which shuts itself on and off. When the device detects an interdiction field or other false mass-line in hyperspace, it cuts the hyperdrive off, dropping the ship out of hyperspace. Immediately, a static hyperwave bubble generator in-line with the HIMS ignites, surrounding the ship with a hyperspace bubble. The bubble does not provide thrust, just a way of passing through the interdiction field. Thus, the ship coasts inside the bubble until it can no longer sustain istelf. When the bubble fails, the hyperspace comes on long enough to register the existence of the interdiction field, then trips again. If enough hyperspace buble generators are linked to the hyperspace coil, the ship can drift deep into the interdiction field, popping bubbles as it goes. The ship will appear to flicker in and out of hyperspace. The momentum of the ship will slowly diminish until it cannot jump back to hyperspace. At this time, the HIMS can be shut down, and sublight engines must be used. (AS)

Hyperwave Signal Interceptor

these sensory devices are used to detect fluctuations in the field that separates realspace from the hyperspacial continuum. These fluctuations are caused when a starship enters or exits hyperspace, and so these sensors can be used to determine the mass, speed, and course of the starship. They cannot, however, determine the ship's point of origin or destination. These sensors also detect subspace and hyperspace transmissions. (ISB)

Hypnocane

a pain-killing drug that also helps doctors soothe a patient by inducing a semi-hypnotic trance state. (COJ)

Hypno-imprinting

this member of the Alliance armed forces was part of the team assigned to Bria Tharen’s Red Hand Squadron. He was with Bria when she attacked the Helot’s Shackle, and was in charge of getting the freed slaves off the slave ship and onto the Retribution. Hyx was a scholar at an Alderaanian university, and studied the treatment of addictions. He put shi schooling to work for the Alliance and the Corellian resistance, quickly discovering a way to ease the withdrawal of Ylesian "pilgrims" who were freed from Exultations. He later assisted Bria in the Battle of Ylesia, leading one of the nine assault teams. (RD)
