Admiral Ackbar
     For the Empire, slavery and racism were standard operating procedure. When they attemted to take the watery world of Mon Calamari and capture one of its leaders, Ackbar, they learned that sometimes procedure just won't work.
     Ackbar had been one of the first Mon Calamari enslaved by the Empire. He was initially taken to be an interpreter and personal servant for a fleet officer on a flagship. Soon after, he was presented as a gift to Grand Moff Tarkin, who was in charge of

Admiral Ackbar

Oversector Outer, which included almost all of the Outer Rim Teritories. Tarkin reported only to the Emperor.
     Playing the role of a dutiful slave, Ackbar was able to learn about the Empire and its military, from basic command structures to its battle tactics. He studied secret military documents and listened to Tarkin's theories on war and his "rule by fear" doctrine. Ackbar also learned of a Rebellion against the Empire, for Tarkin was always muttering about his new superweapon that would allow him to crush the Rebellion.
     As the Grand Moff was en route from the Governor's palace on Eriodu to the completed Death Star, his ship was attacked by Rebels. Following a firefight with Grand Moff's Star Destroyer, the Rebels escaped with Tarkin's servant, Ackbar.
     Pledging his aid to the Rebellion, Ackbar returned to Mon Calamari to help convince his people to support his rescuers. Even as his people began making and designing new weapons and assault ships for the Alliance, Ackbar was looking for even more ways to get involved.
     Made a commander in the Alliance, Ackbar wanted to create an answer to the Empire's deadly new Nebulon-B Frigate, which maintained twenty-four laser batteries, heavy shielding, and two TIE fighter squadrons, which made it more than a match for traditionally lightly armed Rebel starfighters, Ackbar went to the Roche system to deal with a renowed species of brilliant ship designers, the insectoid Verpine. Code-named Shantipole, the project would lead to the developement of an oddly shaped, two-crewed B-wing starfighter.
     Working with Ackbar and other Calamari, the peaceful Verpine were able to create several prototypes of the B-wing. Despite a betrayal by Slain Glek, Ackbar's Quarren lieutenant, the Empire was unable to capture the new ships. Several days after the B-wings were delivered, Ackbar was promoted to admiral by Alliance leader Mon Mothma.
     Ackbar began recieving more and more responsibility from Mon Mothma. He became one of her top two advisors, and she made him the commander of the entire Rebel fleet. Although the promotion had been made entirely based on Ackbar's skills weight. The Empire had practiced racism, slavery, and genocide against non-human species; now the Alliance was not only embracing them, but allowing them positions of great power. The weight on Ackbar's shoulders was great.  [top]

Anzat
     A vampire species that drink brain juices (soup) through the nose of their unfortunate victims. Their chicks hide curling probes that they thrust up the noses of the victims. When they have their hands on their victims' heads, the targets are paralyzed. As long as Anzat can drink the soup, he is immortal.  [top]

Anakin Solo
     Anakin Solo was the third child of Han and Leia. From the very young age he showed a strength in Force. Just like his older sister Jaina, Anakin showed a tendency to all things mechanical. Even before he could understand them even for what they were, he could feel them work and could feel what needed to be fixed.  [top]

The Band
     This jizz-wailers band came to Tatooine in search of employment. In the process,

The Band

their leader is killed and they are taken into virtual slavery as Jabba's entertainers. The band consisted of Max Rebo, an Ortolan keyboard player who always thought with his stomach; Sy Snootles, a singer who was the brains behind the outfit; and Droopy McCool a.k.a Snit who played some sort of a pipe. They managed to escape the destruction of Jabba's sail barge, but Droopy immediately broke away from the group to search out his kind who were thought to be living in the Dune Sea. Max and Sy stayed together for

Bantha

a while, but later they also broke up.  [top]

Banthas
     These fur-covered creatures are as big as elephants. Banthas are used as beasts of burden. On Tatooine, banthas are prized among the Tusken Raiders, who are said to have a special bond with the animal.  [top]

Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi
     As a youth, Obi-Wan Kenobi studied the ways of the Force under the tutelage of the great Jedi Master Yoda, broadening his power from an already durable inner strength. As a Jedi Knight for the Old Republic, he fought bravely in the Clone Wars alongside such excellent warriors as Bail Organa and Anakin Skywalker.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Soon, he had gained the rank of General.
     During these adventures, Obi-Wan noticed in Anakin an innate tendency towards the Force. Seeking to pass on his Jedi knowledge, he decided to train the young pilot in its ways. Obi-Wan had never taken on a student before and teaching was more difficult than he anticipated, especially in such a sensitive topic as the Force. Having been introduced to this bold new arena of power, Anakin became excited and craved to learn as much as he could as fast as he could. This left him wide open to temptation from the dark side. Anakin could not resist.
     When Obi-Wan recognized the change, he tried to bring Anakin back, preaching the evils of the dark side, hoping to drag him back by the single thread of good left in him. But Anakin would have none of his "noble suffer the good" talk, and their discussion turned quickly to argument and even quicker to conflict. The fight was long and furious, ending with Anakin falling headlong into a pit of molten lava.
     Obi-Wan knew this would bear serious repercussions from Anakin's master, the Emperor Palpatine. He quickly shuffled Anakin's wife and twin children into hiding. The young girl, Leia, and her mother went to stay with the now Viceroy of Alderaan, Bail Organa, while young Luke was taken in by Obi-Wan's brother, Owen Lars. As the Emperor began to hunt and kill the Jedi, Obi-Wan took to hiding under the assumed name Ben. He decided to stay close to Luke by living on Tatooine, but kept a safe distance. Should the Emperor ever find his home in the Jundland Wastes of the Dune Sea, Luke would still be safely hidden away.
     Most people on Tatooine thought that Ben is just a crazy old hermit. He tended to stay in seclusion, although he has been known to help someone lost or threatened by Sand People. Ben died in a duel with

Bib Fortuna

Darth Vader (former Anakin Skywalker) on the first Death Star.  [top]

Bib Fortuna
     This Twi'lek was Jabba's chief lieutenant. He secretly plotted against Jabba but never got a chance to finish his plot. After Jabba's death he returned to the palace only to have his brain removed from the body and put into a jar by B'omarr Monks.  [top]

Biggs Darklighter
     Born to wealthy food merchants on Tatooine, Biggs was raised with more advantages than most of his friends. In fact, it tended to keep him from making friends. His father gave him everything he

Biggs Darklighter

could want, in hopes of occupying the time he didn't spend with his son. But money is no substitute for a father's love.
     Biggs started spending more and more time in Anchorhead with others his age. Many of them kept distant, allowing their parents' opinion of his father to taint their opinion of him. But Luke Skywalker was raised to judge by one's merit. The two became steadfast friends and pushed each other through unspoken competition. They raced T-16's through Beggar's Canyon, dreaming of the day the two of them would join the Imperial Academy. Their plan was to serve their time for the Imperial Navy then go into partnership on a starshipping route. But when the time came, Luke had to stay behind to help on the farm while Biggs' father got his son enrolled with benefits.
     After a sterling training record, Biggs graduated with honors. His first assignment was as first mate to the frigate Rand Ecliptic. He had a little time before his tour was to begin, though, so he returned to Tatooine long enough to update Luke on his plans. While he was at the Academy, Biggs met a circle of Rebel sympathizers who brought him into their ranks. The group of them were going to jump ship and join the Alliance and he hoped one day Luke would be able to find them.
     After turning AWOL, Biggs and the other Rebels made their way to Massassi station on Yavin IV by smuggling routes. There he served the Rebellion proudly until his heroic death in the Battle of Yavin.  [top]

Biths
     As a race, the Bith are a highly evolved humanoid species with enlarged craniums and two opposable fingers on each hand. Their large lidless eyes are filled by their weak irises, giving them

Bith

a pupil-less appearance. Their tiny mouths are covered with large baggy epidermal sacks and their noses are barely noticeable between their eyes.
     Most of their physical appearance can be attributed to their fast and severe evolution. Their highly developed brains have grown to facilitate a greater aptitude for creative skills such as language, art, and music. They are also extremely adept at scientific reasoning and mechanical engineering. Their eyes are finely tuned for working on extreme detail in microcircuitry, which has allowed them to develop technology to handle nearly every daily need. However, as the Bith are very well developed for abstract thinking, they lack instinctual behaviors such as fear and physical passion.
     Everything in the physiology of the Bith and the atmosphere of the planet indicates that their homeworld of Clak'dor in the Mayagil Sector was once a beautiful green planet. The nose on their faces is good for air intake only as exhalation occurs outwardly through the skin. The folds beneath the eyes do the smelling, measuring and identifying pheromones and molecules far better than most species. This suggests a wide variety of chemicals in a healthy active atmosphere. But after a brief chemical-biological war between two cities over copyrights to a stardrive, the planet now lays in waste, shielding its population in large domed cities.  [top]

Boba Fett
     The most notorious and fearsome bounty hunter in the galaxy is also the most mysterious. Many legends and stories have arisen over the years, but few facts are known of the man called Boba Fett,

Boba Fett

or of his inextricable link to Han Solo.
     Long before Luke Skywalker journeyed of Tatooine to fulfill his destiny as a Jedi, Boba Fett was also known as Journeyman Protector Jaster Mereel. Years past, the ugly young law-enforcement officer on the world of Concord Down had killed another protector, and though the dead man had been corrupt, disgracing his office and uniform, Mereel was still imprisoned for the murder. Against the wishes of his pleader, the arrogant young man remained unrepentant to the trial court, and Jaster Mereel was exiled from Concord Down, stripped of all he owned.
     Mereel's adoption of the name Boba Fett, and the manner in which he acquired his rare battle armor, are tales lost in time, remembered by no living being except for Fett himself.
     Fett wears the armor of the Mandalorians, a group of evil warriors who were defeated by the Jedi Knights during the Clone Wars. Fett's modified Mandalore armor includes a helmet that has a macrobinocular viewplate, motion and sound sensors, infrared capabilities, an internal comlink to his ship, the Slave I and later II, and a broadband antenna for intercepting and decoding transmissions. Wrist gauntlets house lasers, a miniature flame projector, and a fibercord whip/grappling device; a backpack jet pack includes a turbo-projected magnetic grappling hook with twenty-meter lanyard. Fett also carries kneepad rocket dart launchers, spiked boots, a concussion-grenade launcher, and a

Boba Fett

Blas Tech EE-3 rifle. Braided Wookiee scalps hang over his right shoulder to complete the outfit.
     Beyond Fett and Fenn Shysa, the only other living person known to wear the Mandalorian armor is Jodo Kast, an ambitious young bounty hunter who patterned his career after that of Boba Fett. Prowling the Outer Rim Territories, Kast wears armor with much of the same external weaponry that Fett utilizes. It is unlikely, however, that he has much hidden weaponry and modified circuitry in his suit. In the past, Kast has allowed people to believe he was Fett, adding even greater mystery to the legends surrounding the older hunter.
     Throughout his life, Fett has worked as a mercenary, a soldier, a personal guard, an assassin, and, most frequently, as a bounty hunter -- the most expensive bounty hunter in the known systems. He collected 150,00 credits for the capture of pirate Feldrall Okor, and took a record 500,000 credits when he caught the religious Ffib heretic Nivek'Yppiks for the Lohrans.
     Fett has worked on retainer for Jabba the Hutt and other of the Hutt clan, as well as for the Empire, and has crossed paths with the Rebellion's greatest heroes more than a few times over the years. Fett is slow and methodical and as unpredictable as the shifting sands of Tatooine. He rarely loses his quarry, and has, thus far, shown no remorse for their fate. Fett has been known to work with other bounty hunters, but his motives may have been to show the others up; Fett has always emerged as the one who catches the prize.
     Sometime in the years before the Battle of Yavin, Boba Fett had his first meeting with R2-D2 and C-3PO. On the desert Planet of Ingo, the droids had become the property of speeder racer Thall Joben and his friends, Kea Moll and Jord Dusat. Joben had angered the criminal Fromm gang, and Sise Fromm traveled to the Boonta speeder races to find them. There, Sise hired the mysterious, armor-clad bounty hunter to kill the young racing team, a job Fett took as a favor owed Fromm, even though Fromm himself was wanted by intergalactic crime lord Jabba the Hutt. After the contract to kill Joben was finished, Fett noted that all debts were paid.
     Fett's robot, BR-17, befriended C-3PO and turned him against R2-D2 while Fromm's gang put a bomb in Joben's racing ship, the White Witch. Fett chased Thall and Kea, but they escaped, joining in the speeder race. At the same time, C-3PO learned of the treachery of BR-17 -- who was then crushed by falling machines -- and discovered the bomb planted in the Witch.
     Unaware of the bomb, Fett followed Joben into the race and attempted to stop him, using every weapon at his disposal. When he tried magnets, Fett accidentally pulled the bomb onto his own speeder and had to escape at the last minute before it blew up. Angry at the loss of his droid and his speeder, Fett took Fromm and his gang hostage, to turn them over to Jabba the Hutt. He expected a great reward for the corpulent trio of villains.
     Several years later, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Luke Skywalker took R2-D2, C-3PO, and a Y-wing fighter to go look for Han Solo. The Corellian was due back from his search for an invisibility talisman, a mystic item the Empire also sought. When Luke crashed-landed on a red-water moon in the Panna system, he was rescued by the mysterious Boba Fett.
     Luke was felled by a strange sleeping virus that had also knocked out Han, so Fett and Chewbacca snuck into the Imperial-guarded city to get an antidote. While there, Boba contacted Darth Vader, who called him the "best bounty hunter in the galaxy." It was at this point that the droids intercepted Fett's message that he planned to capture the Rebels and claim the talisman.
     Back at the Millennium Falcon, following a harrowing chase by stormtroopers, Boba administered the antidote to Han and Luke. Still groggy, Han didn't recognize Boba, and didn't object when Luke offered the hunter a place in the Rebellion. C-3PO and R2-D2 interrupted, telling the Rebels of Fett's transmission to Vader. Fett rocketed away, vowing vengeance.
     Prior to the Rebels' establishment of the Hoth base, Fett reappeared in pursuit of "the Mole," a man wanted for leaving the service of Darth Vader. Piloting a TIE fighter, Fett was chased down by Luke Skywalker in an X-wing. Luke chased the mercenary's ship through ice canyons of the frozen world of Ota, and both ships crashed. Fett got the drop on Luke, but both of them were captured by the apelike Snogars. The Snogars' city was growing colder, and they were convinced the off worlders could restore their heat-providing machines.
     Meanwhile, Han, Chewie, Leia Organa, and the droids had come to Ota to find Luke. While Luke and Boba made a break from the Snogars, Han himself was captured. Ever the opportunist, Boba agreed to go with Luke to rescue Han, planning to capture the smuggler for profit.
     It a wild sequence of events, the Rebels and the Mole were caught between the Snogars and Fett. When Fett tried to take both the Mole and Han prisoner, the Mole used a giant magnet to pin the bounty hunter to the wall. The Rebels and the Mole made their respective escapes, Fett swearing vengeance yet again.
     Fett sometimes used his bounties against each other. Once, for example, Fett found out that the magician, Magwit, was performing small frontier settlements in the wasteland. The dwarf had a minor Imperial bounty on his head, but Fett knew Magwit could help him in acquiring another bounty; Gorga the Hutt had hired Fett to bring the notorious space pirate Bar-Kooda. Fett forced Magwit to buy his freedom by smuggling the hunter in his magic props. Magwit was "captured" and taken aboard Bar-Kooda's massive pirate vessel, Bloodstar, where the savage carnivore demanded the magician's final performance. Magwit's most impressive trick used a hoop to cause objects to appear and disappear. The hoop was connected to a short-range matter transmitter, with Fett waiting on the other side. Working in concert with Magwit, the hunter pulled Bar-Kooda through the hoop and escaped, causing carnage along the way. Magwit survived via a speedy exit, and true to his word, Fett gave the magician his freedom.
     Shortly before the Battle of Hoth, Jabba the Hutt hired Fett to find Han Solo. Working both sides of the fence, Fett met Darth Vader mask to mask for the first time. For reasons unknown to either of them an instant sense of mutual respect was born, and the bounty hunters agreed to work with Dengar, Bossk, and a rookie bounty hunter named Skorr. But on the planet of Ord Mandell, the wily Han Solo, Luke, and Chewie escaped Fett's clutches, heading back to the newly established Rebel base on Hoth.
     Despite his failure to capture Solo and the other Rebels, Fett was once again summoned to work with Vader. One of the six bounty hunters instructed to find the Millennium Falcon, Fett succeeded in tracking the ship to the Bespin system. There, he aided Vader in capturing the Rebel leaders and exacted his price in the capture of Han Solo.
     Unfortunately for Han, Vader wanted to use him as a test subject for the carbonite-freezing process. Solo survived, and Fett took the quick-frozen Corellian to his ship for transport to Jabba the Hutt's Tatooine palace. On the way to board the Slave I, he exchanged shots with the wary Luke Skywalker, who was attempting to save his friends.
     As he neared Tatooine, Fett was angered to find that IG-88, one of Vader's other bounty hunters, had tracked him. Fett used evasive maneuvers and his weaponry to blow up the starfighter IG-2000 and its pilot. He continued on his way, delivering to Jabba his Han Solo "wall sculpture," and collecting his bounty. Arguing that the carbonite piece was actually the art of Darth Vader, Fett was able to talk Jabba into raising Solo's bounty from 100,000 credits to 250,000.
     For the following year, Boba was steadily employed, and a constant presence in Jabba's court. Although the Hutt would never admit it, he was afraid that the Alliance would retaliate for the capture of Solo, so he gave Fett assignments to keep him around, knowing how valuable the hunter was. One such job offered a 100,000 credit bounty to capture a live krayt dragon to be placed in battle with the Hutt's monstrous rancor.
     When Luke, Leia, and Chewie came to Tatooine and were all captured while trying to rescue Han, Jabba sentenced them to death in the Great Pit of Carkoon. But Jabba had not counted on Skywalker's Jedi powers or initiative, and the Rebels broke free. In the battle that followed, Fett's backpack was hit and he flew, out of control, into the mouth of the Sarlacc.
     Fett somehow escaped the Sarlacc, crawling away from the pit and lapsing into a painful oblivion. A short time later the bounty hunter Dengar, who had also been in Jabba's employ, set out a search for the Hutt's body. Instead, he found Boba Fett, devoid of armor and covered in scars and fibers from the Sarlacc. Dengar nursed Fett back to health, using Jabba's medical droids. A month later, Fett was well enough to travel, and since the Alliance had confiscated the Slave I, the two hunters set off in Dengar's ship for the spaceport moon of Nar Shaddaa, the smuggling center of the galaxy.
     Boba had little-used backup ships on Nar Shaddaa: The Slave II was a MandalMotors Pursuer enforcement ship, and few sentients in the galaxy even knew that Fett had one. The hunter used this to his advantage, knocking out old enemies who thought him dead, and collecting bounties quickly, sometimes working with the tagalong Dengar. Meanwhile, the Alliance let the Slave I sit on Grakouine, gathering dust.
     Wary of another encounter with Solo and Skywalker, Fett decided to buy his ship back legally. With the help of an old employer, Crystalboy, he used a system of dummy corporations, paper trails, and forged requisition forms, eventually getting the Slave I as part of a "surplus liquidation" deal. Fett repaired his ship and put it in orbit of Nar Shaddaa. He would use it again, but for now, he was profiting more from the anonymity the Slave II and his "death" had given him.
     It wasn't long before the galaxy realized Fett was alive. When he captured an infamous pirate, Feldrall Okor, Fett took a page from the plan Princess Leia had used when she infiltrated Jabba's palace. He presented Feldrall to Imperial Governor Isis, but when she balked at his bounty price, he charged a thermal detonator. As tense seconds ticked by, the governor argued, while Fett calmly upped his price. Ultimately, the governor trusted her fortunes more than she trusted Fett's sanity, and she gave the hunter his ransom.
     Six years after the death of Jabba the Hutt, Han and Leia went to Nar Shaddaa, the galactic smuggling center. There, Han was surprised to find that Fett and Dengar were waiting for him in his quarters. Fett told Solo that the Sarlacc had found him "indigestible," adding that the descendants of Jabba the Hutt wanted Han and Leia, dead or alive!
     In a hail of blaster fire, Leia and Han made it off world, escaping in Salla Zend's Starlight Intruder. Fett and Dengar followed in the Slave II, snatching the Intruder's coordinates and jumping into hyperspace. Although Slave II arrived at Byss before the Starlight Intruder, only Salla's ship had been cleared to get through the planetary security shields, which closed, locking out Fett's ship and breaking off a control rudder. As they spun away, trying to regain control of the ship, Dengar angrily informed Fett this was the last time he'd ever work with him. Although he was grateful to Dengar for saving him back on Tatooine, Fett was glad to get rid of another hunter.
     When Han and Leia again returned to Nar Shaddaa seeking the Jedi Master Vima-Da-Boda, they were afraid Fett might be lying in wait. In fact, two Imperial Dark Side Warriors were attempting to blackmail the bounty hunter into working for them. They claimed knowledge of his past -- that Fett had been a stormtrooper who had murdered his superior officer. Fett rejected their attempts and fought back as the two warriors attacked him. He escaped even as Solo's Millennium Falcon prepared to touch down.
     Fett bided his time, and when the Falcon prepared to depart, the Slave I rushed forward on a suicidal run. Fett expected Han to turn tail; instead, the Corellian used his freighter to clip the Slave I's stabilizers. Although Fett lost some control, he was still able to blast the Falcon, causing the ship to lose all sensor frequencies.
     The bounty hunter tracked the Falcon to the lower levels, where he ambushed Leia and Han shortly after they found Vima-Da-Boda. In turn, he was ambushed by Chewbacca. During the ensuing firefight, Boba shot Chewbacca in the side, but the Wookiee managed to rip off Boba's helmet and send him spiraling into the roof high above.
     Fett recovered quickly enough to board the Slave I and pursue the Falcon through the floating space debris of the spaceport moon. Scoring a hit on the freighter, Fett figured he finally had his bounty. He was surprised when Solo piloted the Falcon into an interstellar gas cloud. His ship's sensors were useless, so Fett hung back, waiting several days before the Falcon reemerged. Unfortunately for Fett, Solo had beefed up his firepower and used it to play havoc with the Slave I. Fett's ship spun out of control into the gas cloud.
     Though Fett disappeared, and has not reappeared on Han Solo's trail, new reports of the bounty hunter's adventures have surfaced throughout the galaxy. Han Solo knows that one day, he will once again -- perhaps for the final time -- face the toughest and most feared bounty hunter in space -- Boba Fett.  [top]

Booster Terrik
     A natorious smuggler from Corellia, Booster Terrik, was always at odds with the law enforcement there. His biggest rival was Hal Horn who was an officer with CorSec. Hal Horn eventually succeeded in sending Booster to Kessel where he staid for six years. When he got out he found that his daughter is married to the son of his old rival. That and other factors pushed him into retirement. He managed to acquire an Imperial Star Destroyer when he was helping Rogue Squadron and set up his operations from there.  [top]

Bria Tharen (a.k.a. Pilgrim 921)
     Bria was born to wealthy parents on Corellia where she grew up. When she decided that she could not face college all alone and by herself, she left in search of a deeper meaning in life. After going to one of the sessions offered by Ylesia Priests on pilgrimage, she sold her jewelry to buy a ticket and left home. There she was fooled by the Priests and their religion into believing them mostly with help of Exultation to which she became addicted. Her addiction and beliefs made her an easy slave as she worked in the spice factories. There at the spice factories, she met Han Solo who came there as a pilot and after being shown the evidence, Bria began to see that she was fooled. Soon they escaped Ylesia and after a brush with Bria snobbish parents, came to Coruscant, where Han wanted to study to get into Imperial Navy. However Bria could not completely get over her addiction, and she left Han because she did not want to impede him from achieving his goals. Both of the young lovers were heartbroken.  [top]

Bubo
     This frog-dog was Jabba's most reliable assassin. Because of his looks and size he could get undetected (nobody paid him attention) where no one else could. With Jabba's death, his brain was placed into a jar by B'omarr Monks.  [top]

B'omarr Monks
     These original inhabitants of Jabba's palace meditated on the meaning of life and when they were ready, their brains were removed and placed into a jar which could then be attached to a mechanical spider for moving around. In those jars they contemplated the meaning of life for eternity. After Jabba's demise they continued to live in his palace and converted (sometimes forcibly) any one who returned.  [top]

Chandra-Fan
     Chadra-Fan are chronically social creatures, avoiding solitude like an illness. In fact, they will impose themselves to solitary confinement as a means of committing suicide. On their homeworld of Chad, they live in large clans, focusing a lot of attention on the children. Marriage usually lasts until death and is the only excuse to leave the clan. When inter-clan marriages occur, the clan with the fewest members welcome the couple.
     Chadra-Fan have a very high metabolism, explaining their high level of activity and relatively short life spans. 40 is considered a respectable age for a grand elder. This high energy consumption contributes to the ease with which they adapt to other environments. All they truly require is a sufficient amount of methane to breath and methyl alcohol to drink. This energy is often spent building useless devices and avoiding sleep.
     These small rodent-like humanoids have oversized hands and feet that make climbing trees a simple task. This is a beneficial trait since what little of Chad isn't completely submerged in water is either dry and mountainous or swampland, the most hospitable areas being the latter.
     Chad occasionally bears devastating hurricanes that quickly strike bayou-side habitats. The latest of these "Great Waves" destroyed the heart of Chadra-Fan civilization, leaving them wide open to slavers and pirates. Today, the Chadra-Fan are still trying to rebuild their primitive society.  [top]

Chewbacca
     As a young Wookiee on Kashyyyk, Chewbacca excelled at most mechanical skills pertaining to and not excluding piloting. He was seen as gifted among his peers and topped that off by being in excellent physical condition as well. His hand-to-hand technique was

Chewbacca

matched only by his accuracy with a bowcaster. By the time he was 80, still young by Wookiee standards, he felt the call of the stars and decided to visit a few strange new worlds. Sixty years of intergalactic experience collected under his belt and he was happy.
     While he was away, Kashyyyk was overtaken by the Empire and the entire Wookiee race was declared fair slave trade. This meant that any Wookiee caught roaming free could be captured and sold. Chewbacca learned of this from within the belly of a slaver's tug and he spent the next thirty years performing heavy labor.
     Decades after his capture, Chewbacca met a young Imperial officer named Han Solo. Solo felt for this demoralized creature and, despite strict rules forbidding interference, helped the Wookiee escape. In return for sacrificing his career, Chewbacca offered the Corellian a life debt. And after quite a few years of shadowing the officer-turned-freelance, Solo broke down and accepted the offer. In order to give this life debt, Chewbacca left his family, including his son Lumpawarrump.
     The two have run smuggling routes ever since, dodging the Empire for more charges than they can recall. Chewbacca, or Chewie as his friends call him, is quite often the voice of reason, tempering their rash suggestions with years of wisdom and honor. Not that he is all that philosophical, however. He has been known to get cranky over losing a game of cards or holo gameboard, and has even gone so far as to dismember droids out of shear frustration. As a rule, if he can't shoot it or rip it apart, he'll leave it alone.
     Years later, when Han Solo became a family man, Chewie's life debt transfered to Han's wife Leia and later to their three children, Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin.  [top]

Corran Horn
     As a young man on his home planet, Corellia, Corran Horn, was a member of CorSec, A local law enforcement agency. His father was also an officer with CorSec who dedicated his life to finding and putting away Booster Terrik, a notorious smuggler. He succeeded and Booster was sent to Kessell. Hal Horn did not live long after that and Corran got to hold his dying father in his arms.
     Later Corran quit CorSec and joined the newly formed Rogue Squadron where he became one of the best pilots. While flying for the squadron, he met Mirax Terrik, the daughter of his father's old rival Booster. They fell in love and married over the protests of Booster who had recently returned from Kessell.
     In addition to that, when Corran was escaping his imprisonment on Lysankya while taking Coruscant, he came across a Jedi Museum where he borrowed a lightsaber to help him escape. As it turned out, the lightsaber belonged to his grandfather, a Jedi Knight. Luke Skywalker tried to recruit Corran for his Jedi Academy, but he refused for the time being.  [top]

Dannik Jerriko
     This Anzat lurked in the hallways of Jabba's fortress, unseen, drinking the brain juices (soup) of his unfortunate victims. He never left a trail and had drinking Jabba's soup as his ultimate goal. When Jabba died, he felt deprived and went on a mad killing spree but this time being very careless. He soon became a wanted entity. From a hunter he turned into prey.  [top]

Darth Vader
     Young Anakin Skywalker always had a penchant for adventure. After joining the Old Republic as a gifted fighter pilot, he quickly gained rank and

Darth Vader

respect for his talent. He fought bravely during the Clone Wars alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi and Bail Organa.
     It was Obi-Wan who suggested he look into the Force. Anakin had been displaying a natural penchant towards the mystical and Obi-Wan hoped to develop him into a full strength Jedi Knight. This sounded just fine to Anakin. He was amazed at the power

Anakin Skywalker

that the Force held. They began an extensive training routine that would last for years.
     Very soon, however, Anakin became overanxious. Obi-Wan wasn't teaching him fast enough and he wanted more. A meeting with Senator Palpatine quickly turned to a more personal nature as the small politician described to Anakin the wonders of the dark side and the incredible power it holds. Anakin saw the advantages such power could afford him and his pregnant wife. It didn't take much to convince Anakin to abandon Obi-Wan's teachings and embrace Palpatine, soon to be the Emperor, as his new master.
     Obi-Wan saw the change sweep over Anakin and tried desperately to turn him back from the shadows. But Anakin wouldn't hear it; he was too far gone. Their discussion turned violent and soon the two were fighting with the same passion they had in the Wars. They were fairly evenly matched, but Obi-Wan had more experience with the Force behind him. It was mere luck that Obi-Wan was able to back Anakin into an open pit of molten lava.
     But this didn't kill him. Obi-Wan pulled him out a breath away from death in full demonstration of the good side of the Force. Anakin underwent extensive cybernetic surgery while Obi-Wan whispered away with his wife. Yet Palpatine remained beside his pupil. Together they channeled Anakin's pain and anger towards the dark side, making him one of the most powerful warriors in the Imperial Navy. Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader, The Dark Lord of The Sith.  [top]

Devaronian
     No other race has a more distinct separation between genders than the Devaronians. The males are hairless humanoids noted for their red skin and large, twin horns. The females, however, are larger with thick calico fur and no horns. How this occurred in evolution is a mystery. The species descended from a long chain of horned creatures, which helps explain the pride Devaronian males take in grooming their horns, but doesn't help in explaining how the females became so radically different. Even their disposition is remarkably different. While the men are ironically passive and unimpressive, the females are aggressive and often overbearing. This is most noticed as the reason for the geographic separation of the sexes. The males tend to live in the lowlands, fishing the vast webwork of rivers and lakes. The females on the other hand prefer to live high in the mountains, cultivating large industrial centers, working mines and factories.
     Devaronian males suffer from severe wanderlust, and the many riverways provide only so much satisfaction. The Devaronians were one of the first races to develop stardrives, and this was just to get away. There are very few corners of the known universe that doesn't host at least one Devaronian. And once a Devaronian leaves one world, it is not very likely he'll ever return.  [top]

Dewbacks
     A giant reptile native to Tatooine. Dewbacks can withstand high desert temperatures and

are ideal as beasts of burden or for riding long distances.  [top]

Dianoga
     A Dianoga is an omniverous creature mainly found in the forests of Vodran living in the murky swamps. The "Garbage Squid" as it's commonly called will eat almost anything and then change color to match its last meal. If a Dianoga hasn't eaten in quite some time it will become somewhat transparent. The Dianoga will grow to be from 6 to 10 meters long and has 7 long tentacles to grab onto prey with. It also has a telescopic eyestalk that emerges from its trunk and can be used like a periscope to look for prey above the surface of the water. If live prey is found it will usually wrap its tentacles around it and pull it uder the surface, thus drowning it. Somehow a Dianoga made its way into one of the original Deathstar's waste disposal units. It lived off the station's refuse for quite some time, taking refuge when the waste was compacted and jetisoned into space. During the rescue of Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker almost became the Dianoga's next meal when the Rebels were forced to flee into a garbage shute. Luke was released from its slimey grip when the compactor was activated.  [top]

Dr. Evazan
     An insane doctor, Evazan was institutionalized by the empire after they saw the scarred results of his 'surgical techniques'. He soon escaped and continued to practice his 'splicing' and 'longevity-of-life' experiments on several worlds under assumed names such as Dr. Cornelius and Roofoo. Because of his experiments and deaths of so many beings, he often had to move on, gaining death sentences on over a dozen of the worlds he visited. Jodo Kast nearly executed this sentence but was destroyed by the Aqualish, Ponda Baba, not before Jodo severely scarred Dr. Evazan's face with a blaster shot. Instead of turning the doctor in, Baba became his new partner in crime. The pair often frequented Tatooine where they did some spice-smuggling runs for the crime lord, Jabba the Hutt.
     One day while relaxing in the Mos Eisley Cantina, Ponda Baba began to harass a young farm boy named Luke Skywalker. Evazan translated Baba's drunken threats and when Obi-Wan Kenobi tried to calm the duo, Evazan drew his blaster. Before either outlaw could react, Obi-Wan drew his lightsaber and sliced Evazan's chest open and Baba's right arm off at the elbow. Lucky to escape with their lives, Evazan promised Ponda Baba a new arm. He experimented with a bionic arm but when that failed, with funding from the government on Baba's homeworld of Ando, he created a mind-swapping device that would place Baba's mind into a high ranking official's body.
     As the transfer took place, a bounty hunter attacked Evazan but his gelatinous pet Meduzan saved him by ingesting the hunter. Still hanging from the tower after the battle, Baba's body, now with the Official's mind, found the doctor and activated an explosive that the bounty hunter left behind. Evazan let himself fall to avaoid the blast, taking the Meduzan with him to break his fall. He is still at large.  [top]

Emperor Palpatine
     The Emperor ruled the galaxy as the malevolent dictator of the Empire. As the man named Palpatine, he carved his Empire from the dying corpse of the Old Republic, using guile, fraud,

Emperor Palpatine

astute political manipulations, and the dark side of the Force to forge his New Order.
     As a senator in the Old Republic, Palpatine was an unassuming man serving at a time of widespread corruption and social injustice. The massive bureaucracy of the Republic had grown twisted and sickly over the span of generation. Like an immense tree with decaying roots, the Republic appeared strong but was slowly dying from within. To appease the member worlds who saw the galactic government as nothing more than a useless burden, the Senate offered up a promising young politician who seemed perfect for keeping the union together. Senator Palpatine appeared to lack drive and ambition, for he had remained apart from the political corruption that racked the Senate. Those who needed a stable government in place to continue their plundering believed they could use Palpatine as a figurehead, teaching him to smile obediently for the holomedia. Those who genuinely wanted to save the Republic saw him as a compromise candidate who would serve as a puppet leader, following and implementing their plans to repair the system. Palpatine, however, had his own ideas.
     Palpatine exceeded everyone's expectations after he was elected as head of the Senatorial Council and President of the Republic. He got the wheels of government turning again after long periods of inactivity. He stepped forward as a great leader who inspired trust and commitment. During the time of jubilation, promise, and hope that followed Palpatine's election, he slowly introduced the New Order and declared himself Emperor. The brief period of hope and light quickly turned dark as tyranny spread across the galaxy. The Empire was born.
     The first real threat to the Emperor's rule appeared years later. Members of the Senate who had once tried to oppose him leagally turned instead to rebellion and formed the Alliance to Restore the Republic. The Emperor was not concerned by this development; in fact, he welcomed it. A rebellion and the threat it represented gave him a motive to wipe away the last remnant of the Old Republic. He disbanded the Emperial Senate for the duration of the emergency and instituted the crowning policy of his New Order - rule by fear and force.
     How the Emperor achieved his mastery of the dark side of the Force remains a mystery lost in the passage of time. Through his dark will, Darth Vader was created, the Jedi Knights were destroyed, the Old Republic was swept away, the Empire was forged, and the greatest military force ever assembled was unleashed upon the galaxy. He worked upon levels few could comprehend, forming plans within plans and manipulating his Empire the way a master gamesman manipulates the pieces on a holoboard. His grand schemes continued until a new player stepped to the table - Luke Skywalker.
     From the moment that the Emperor learned of young Skywalker's existence, he knew he had to bring the young man into his fold. Like his father before him, Luke possessed nearly unlimited strength in the Force. The Emperor wanted that strength in his camp, under his tutelage. He wanted Luke turned to the dark side. In fact, the massive trap the Emperor set up in the Endor system was designed to finally achieve his desires concerning young Skywalker. That he also planned to destroy the Rebellion was a distant second. The Emperor craved power, and Luke Skywalker was a power for good that could not be allowed to remain free. Either Skywalker's power had to be turned to evil like his father's power before him, or he had to be destroyed. In the end, however, it was the Emperor who was destroyed. He died refusing to believe that good could actually find a way to triumph over evil.  [top]

Ephant Mon
     Ephant Mon was Jabba's closest friend when they saved each other's lives long before Jabba became the crime lord. He served as Jabba's enforcer and was often approached

Ephant Mon

by Lady Valarian with offers to kill Jabba. He declined them all. He is very strong with trunk-like legs and a very tall forehead that can be used to crack skulls. He later fell out of Jabba's favor and was expelled from the palace when he tried to warn Jabba about Luke Skywalker. He returned to his home planet to lead a simple life and worship Force.  [top]

EV-9D9
     This droid originally belonged to Lando Calrissian as his security chief on Cloud City

EV-9D9

where it acquired a taste torturing droids. Before Lando could get to her, she escaped and came to Jabba's palace where she could practice without interference. Later she met her demise when one of the droids from Cloud City came after her for destroying his friends.  [top]

Ewoks
     The curious, furred bipeds native to Endor's forest moon are called Ewoks. Standing about one meter tall, the tribal Ewoks have yet to advance beyond spears and bows, but their understanding of forest

Ewok

lore and survival skills cannot be matched by more-advanced species. These hunter-gatherers live in village clusters built high within the moon's giant trees.
     Easily startled, the Ewoks are nonethless brave, alert and loyal, and they can be fierce warriors when necessary. Dismissed as inconsequential by the Empire during the construction of the second Death Star, the Ewoks were one of the deciding factors in the Battle of Endor. One tribe befriended Leia Organa and her companions in the Rebel strike force. With the help this tribe provided, the strike force was able to complete its mission to disable the shield generator protecting the Death Star. This allowed the Alliance fleet to engage the battle station directly and win the space battle that raged around the forest moon.  [top]

Figrin Da'n
     Better known as "Fiery Figrin", Figrin Da'n is probably one of Mos Eisley's greatest gamblers. While no one is sure just how large a fortune he has amassed, it is quite clear his tastes are expensive. He supports and manages a four piece band and owns quite a collection of musical recordings that couldn't have come with small change. He also carries a stash of the finest Corellian Spice with him, an expensive habit that best explains why he often appears incoherent and acutely aware of himself at the same time.
     Despite this, he is one of Tatooine's most knowledgeable citizens. As an extraordinary gambler and entertainer, he makes acquaintance with nearly everyone who is in town for more than a few days. He is regarded as Jabba the Hutt's favorite bandleader, although Figrin realizes that means little as the crime lord has a reputation for being fickle. Figrin knows well the price of crossing the wrong people in this area. Information is not a petty commodity in Mos Eisley. In fact, it can match a large sum on the gambling table, which is the only way you will get anything

Gamorrean

out of Figrin Da'n.  [top]

Gamorreans
     Gamorreans are very strong pig-like creatures that were often used as guards. We see them in Jabba's palace as well as other places. Their downfall is their limited intelligence which always makes them a butt of many jokes and very easy to fool.  [top]

Garindan
     Hailed as Mos Eisley's most prominent spy, Garindan, better known to many as "Long Snoot", gathers information and sells it to the highest bidder. He can be seen skulking about dark corners in the Port City, noticeable only to the locals who quietly signal his presence with a playful brush of the nose. Should Garindan ever catch them mocking him, however, he would most likely play ignorant, maintaining his carefully built image as a fool. But those who know him know not to underestimate his craftiness.
     Little is known about Garindan. No one in Mos Eisley is familiar enough with the planet Kubindi to recognize him as part of the Kubaz race. Many debate whether his long snout is part of his alien physiology or merely a disguise. Few have seen him with his hood drawn back and fewer still have been able to trail him more than a few minutes, let alone to his home. It is assumed that he lives a luxurious life as he has been known to pay a great deal for certain items and bits of knowledge. He has also been seen playing some rather large hands at the gambling table. Although he isn't known to be a big winner, he always seems to come out ahead in one commodity or another.
     Few trust Garindan, including the powerful crime lord Jabba the Hutt. Jabba makes it standard practice to mislead the spy with false information whenever he needs to conduct business in secret. Thus far, Garindan hasn't gained anything on the Hutt, following every possible lead, solid or not, in the hopes of learning that one juicy fact about Jabba that will fund his retirement.
     The local Imperial Prefect has taken notice of his activities and realizes that he can be a dangerous adversary given the opportunity. It is for this reason the Imperials took it upon themselves to initiate contact with the informer and put him to regular use. He is seen quite often reporting into a hand comlink set to a private Imperial channel. It was through this network that the Desert Sands stormtroopers were alerted to Skywalker and Kenobi's meeting in Docking Bay 94.
     Garindan is very crafty and cautious, but not very brave. One of the more valuable lessons learned from trading data with the Jawas is the benefit of staying alive. Vengeance postponed is dependably more successful. Garindan has proven this on many occasions.  [top]

Gartogg
     Gartogg was one of 12 Gamorreans, an unpleasant race of boar-faced fighters, who came to Tatooine to work for the crime lord Jabba the Hutt. As was their custom, they would only work for someone after they engaged that someone in personal

Gartogg

combat. Jabba agreed to take them all on at once as long as they honored 'his' custom of the challangers being blindfolded. They agreed and once the blindfolds were in place, several of Jabba's henchmen beat them mercilessly. The 9 that survived became guards for Jabba. The guards were lead by Ortugg, one of the tougher and smarter of the group. His duties included guarding Jabba's palace, watching the Quarren named Tessek whom Jabba didn't trust, and harassing the not-so-bright guard Gartogg.
     But Gartogg had more important things to worry about. He was wrapped up in trying to solve the increasing number of mysterious murders that have been showing up in Jabba's palace. Not being too bright in the area of deduction, he carried two of the bodies around the palace with him in search of clues. This wild goose chase was the one factor that saved his life. His inability to get any evidence to back his theory that the 'snot vampire', Dannik Jerriko, had caused all the deaths in the palace so infuriated his boss, Ortugg, that he wouldn't allow Gartogg to come along on the sail barge when it left for the Great Pit of Carkoon.
     Saddened that he missed the last voyage of Jabba's sail barge and lonely since Ortugg had not returned, Gartogg set out for Mos Eisley with a few others going that way. He still carried the dead and rotting bodies of the kitchen boy and the monk over his shoulder which eventually mummified quite nicely so he could take his new 'friends' wherever he went. Gartogg finally landed a job as an inforcer for a smuggling operation on Tatooine. He certainly did his job well, for two dead bodies on his sholdiers instilled fright into everyone.  [top]

Gilad Pellaeon
     Captain Gilad Pellaeon is seasoned vetran, having served in the Imperial fleet for over fifty years. Having lied about his age years before to get into the Imperial Academy, he nonetheless graduated in the top third of his class. After proving himself capable of command, he was promoted to the command crew of the Chimaera, where he began his steady climb to the top.
     Pellaeon was second-in-command of the Chimeara during some of the peak years of the Empire. His ship was responsible for making the slaving runs to Kasyyyk, the Wookiee homeworld, which the Empire used as a source of slave labour. During the Battle of Endor, for the fate of the second Death Star, Pellaeon was forced to take command when his Captain was killed. When the Death Star was destroyed, he realized that the Emperor, along with Darth Vader, was dead, and with the Imperial flagship Executor destroyed as well in the fray, he knew an Alliance victory was inevitable that day. Reluctantly, he quickly organized the remenants of the beaten Imperial fleet, and ordered a retreat.
     He had little hope for the Empire's future, as the remaining forces bickered amongst themselves, when a new leader appeared. While all the Grand Admirals were thought to been accounted for, a new unheard of Grand Admiral, Thrawn, returned from the Unknown Regions, and was able to consoledate the broken Imperial fleet. Choosing the Chimaera as his flagship, Thrawn is not content to settle for what remains of the once vast Empire. For the first time in the five years since Endor, Captain Pellaeon once more has hope for the glory of a reborn Empire.  [top]

Grand Admiral Thrawn
     Almost nothing is known about this mysterious military genius, last of the Grand Admirals. Promoted in secret by the Emperor himself, he was delegated the responsibility of bringing order and the Empire to worlds of the barbaric Unknown Regions. He was amazingly succesful in his task, subjegating countless worlds where others would have failed. Five years after the destruction of the second Death Star, he returned to the civilized part of the galaxy, only to discover that the Emperor was dead, and that the fledgling New Republic had defeated the Empire. This is where the Heir To The Empire trilogy begins.
     Grand Admiral Thrawn is perhaps the greatest villain ever in the Stars Wars universe. That he was even promoted to the position of Grand Admiral by the racist Emperor, bespeaks of his incredible military and tactical abilities. More than that, he is devoid of many of the characteristics that make a villain evil and inevitably make them lose. He is actually respected and admired by other career officers that he has surpassed or commands. He welcomes his subordinate's opinions, even if they are dissenting from his own. He is a harsh disciplinairian, not tolerating incompetence nor hesitating to execute an inept officer. At the same time, however, he is exteremely fair, and encourages quick and innoventive thinking among his crew. Unlike under Darth Vader's command, the death of a superior officer is not the only way an innovative, thinking officer can move through the ranks. He has no interest in ruling the galaxy, he prefers to leave the governing to the politicians. His only goal is to destroy the New Republic, which he hates, and restore order to what he sees as chaotic place.
     Thrawn's military genius stems from his both his extensive tactical knowledge and his uncanny ability to correlate disparate threads of information together to form a complete picture of an event. Picking up bits and pieces of information, he is able to weave them together and figure out what his enemy is doing or is planning to do. It is a very rare thing to surprise the Grand Admiral, or to succesfully attempt something without Thrawn knowing. It that respect, he is very similar to Talon Karrde, so much in fact, that it seems inevitable that their paths will cross.
     Grand Admiral Thrawn's most amazing and peculiar characteristic, however, is his penchant for alien artwork, from which he can derive the hidden secrets of a species' pyche. By studying the art of a planet, he can unerringly determine what stategies will work best and which tactics a commander of that race is able to comprehend. Utilizing this knowledge, Thrawn throws military tactics at the planet or commander that the species' artwork demonstrated they would not be able counter. With this method, he was able to subjugate many of the most barbaic worlds in the Outer Rim, and has almost never lost.
     Ironically, considering one of the last verbal exchanges between the Emperor and Luke Skywalker, Grand Admiral Thrawn's only flaw is his over-estimation of the loyalty and abilities of his followers. Considerd a virtue when found in heroes, it is to say the least, an unusual flaw in a villian.  [top]

Grand Moff Tarkin
     Little is known about Grand Moff Willhuf Tarkin. He led a modest yet successful career in the Imperial Navy,

Tarkin

eventually garnishing an impressive post as Moff in charge of controlling the outskirts of the Imperial Frontier. It was here that Tarkin made his mark as the Master Tactician, developing his philosophy of Rule by Fear.
     This worked phenomenally well, but the Outer Rim was such a large Territory, he needed a weapon powerful enough to threaten an entire system. Thus he began work on the Death Star. The greatest minds in the Empire were gathered to oversee its construction, all under the guidance of now Grand Moff Tarkin. Even the dreaded Darth Vader was placed under his command. Tarkin was confident and proud of his brainchild, right up to his death as it was blown up beneath him.  [top]

Greedo
     Bounty hunting is a profession veiled in honor on Rodia. Every year, prizes are awarded to those who surpass in various categories such as "greatest

Greedo

accuracy with a distance blaster" and "quickest catch". And if there were a prize for "most careless", Greedo would win hands down. He epitomized the smarmy bounty hunter profile, petty and arrogant to the last letter.
     Having traveled across the galaxy working for agencies on both sides of the law, Greedo eventually found himself working for the infamous crime lord, Jabba the Hutt. Both parties found this alliance advantageous; Greedo enjoyed the challenge and notoriety, Jabba liked the low price. From that day on, Greedo had been absolutely overbearing, bullying his way across Tatooine, adding to his collection of "trophies". It was in building this collection that he ran across Han Solo. Had he not grown to be so smug, he might have noticed Solo drawing his blaster under the table.  [top]

Han Solo
     Han Solo was an orphan when he was picked up off the streets and forced to pick pockets. When he grew up, he escaped and joined Imperial Navy but not before falling for Bria Tharen, whom he rescued from slave labor in the mines. He excelled as an Imperial Officer and sailed towards a commanding

Han Solo

rank in the Imperial Navy, where he would have been able to use his talents to their fullest extent.
     One day, however, he found a noble Wookiee being beaten in a nearby slave camp and compassion directed him to interfere. Imperial Law declared all Wookies fair trade, and Han was forbidden to counter that ruling in any form, but that didn't stop him. He rescued the Wookiee and was subsequently discharged. Although the Wookiee, Chewbacca, pledged his life to Solo, he found little reason to feel proud. He wandered the galaxy, accepting small contract work here and there, all the time being followed by the Wookiee. This annoyed Solo for quite some time, until he finally realized the sanctity of the Wookiee Life Debt, and accepted it. Before long, they were good friends and partners.
     The two have spent decade and a half two steps ahead of the Empire, eluding capture for any one of a number of accusations. They ran spice for Jabba the Hutt until one critical moment when their stocklight freighter, the "Millennium Falcon", was threatened to be boarded by an Imperial Blockade. Solo was forced to dump the cargo, much to Jabba's regret who immediately put bounty on Solo's head. Boba Fett managed to get him and bring to Jabba frozen in carbonite. He was latter rescued by Luke to take part in the destruction of the Empire and to fall in love and marry Leia Organa. Han and Leia had three children: Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin.  [top]

Iceheart
     A chief of intelligence under the Empire, Iceheart's name instilled fear into everyone. She lived in a Super Star Destroyer Lysankya that lay burried deep beneath the surface of Coruscant. Lysankia served as her personal prison where she tortured many. Often after coming back from Lysankia, they were Iceheart's agents. Iceheart died in her failed attempt to bring down New Republic.  [top]

IG-88
     Created as one of 5 IG prototype assassin droids by Holowan Mechanicals, IG-88 went into bounty hunting soon after the prototypes rebeled against their creators and killed them all. IG-88 was very

IG-88

resourceful and thorough at his work which quickly gained him over 40 "Dismantle on sight" orders on as many worlds. His record of over 150 deaths also caught the eye of Darth Vader who was putting together an elite group of bounty hunters to track and capture the Millennium Falcon and it's crew at all costs! IG-88 followed fellow bounty hunter, Boba Fett, to Bespin in the hopes of jumping his claim but Fett called in Darth Vader before he could make his move and lost out. His last chance for a claim would be to wait for Fett as he brought Han Solo to Jaba the Hutt on Tatooine and surprise him but Fett was more than a match for IG-88 and his ship the IG-2000 and his ship was destroyed. Reports of IG-88 sightings still come in from

Royal Guard

all parts of the galaxy.  [top]

Imperial Royal Guard
     Emperor Palpatine's personal guards, selected from the best Imperial soldiers. Beneath their red robes they wear a suit of armor. After the death of the Emperor and consequent death of his last clone, the guards took it upon themselves to impersonate the Emperor using the many recordings of him that they had.  [top]

Jabba the Hutt
     Jabba the Hutt, the notorious crime lord who ran his organization from the planet Tatooine, was one of the major kingpins in the Outer Rim Territories. His organization was into a wide variety of illegal

Jabba the Hutt

activities. From smuggling to spice dealing, slave trading to murder, loan sharking to protection, Jabba the Hutt had his bloated fingers in all the underworld's pies. Like others of his race, Jabba was a legless, sluglike being with reptilian eyes and gross mannerisms. Approximately four meters long, Jabba was huge even among his own kind. His desert palace on Tatooine was full of all kinds of decadent luxuries, an army of alien and human criminals, droid slaves and fawning servants. Among Jabba's most prized possessions were the rancor and the sail barge. Every smuggler, bounty hunter, pirate, and thief in the Outer Rim Territories eventually took on a job for Jabba, including Han Solo and his partner Chewbacca.
     In fact, it was because of a job Solo botched that Jabba ultimately met his end. After Solo dumped a shipment of spice to avoid an Imperial blockade, Jabba gave the smuggler a limited time to make good on the shipment's worth. When Solo failed to return to Tatooine to pay off his debt - he was off helping the Rebellion - Jabba put a price on his head. Boba Fett eventually collected the bounty, but Solo's Rebel companions came to rescue him. Among this group was Luke Skywalker. Although Skywalker's Jedi "mindtricks" did not work against Jabba, his other abilities made short work of the crime lord's men. It was Princess Leia, however, who actually killed Jabba. Since that time, other criminal organizations have been attempting to fill the void left by Jabba the Hutt's sudden and unexpected demise.  [top]

Jacen and Jaina Solo
     Jacen and Jaina were twins born to Han and Leia. They were both strong in force and when they were old enough, the twins were sent to Yavin IV to attend Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy. At the academy, Jacen showed a tendency for living things while Jaina followed her father's steps and showed a tendency to all things mechanical. As if to test their strength, the Jedi Academy was attacked by Shadow Academy (which trained Dark Jedi for Second Imperium). The Dark Jedi were led by Zekk, a former friend of Jacen and Jaina. In the battle that issued, the Jedi Academy was victorious and Zekk was turned from the dark side of the Force.  [top]

Jawas
     Jawas, the meter-tall scavenger race native to Tatooine, are rodent like beings with offensive

Jawas

odors and jabbering speech. Jawas remain hidden within coarse cloaks, with only their small, glowing eyes visible in the shadowy foldsof their hoods. Jawas travel in bands, searching for discarded hardware to collect, wrecked ships to salvage, or unattened vehicles to steal. They clean and repair these items, selling and tradeing them with Tatooine's settlers and those passing through Mos Eisley Spaceport. Jawas nest within huge vehicles called sandcrawlers and rumble across the desert wastes in these massive but slow transports.  [top]

Jiliac
     Jiliac the Hutt is Jabba the Hutt's great uncle and was involved in spice dealing.  [top]

Joruus C'Baoth
     The name of Jorus C'Baoth was once held in the highest regard in the circles of the Jedi throughout the Old Republic. Jorus C'Baoth was a Jedi Master of the first order, and was extremely active in the political operations of the time. At one time he even served as the personal advisor to a young and ambitious Senator Palpatine. Jorus battled evil in the galaxy and opposed the Dark side with his Jedi brethren.
     This was to end, however, when he volunteered along with five other Jedi Masters for the Old Republic's Outward Bound Flight Project. The project sent the six Jedi into the unknown regions of space outside the galaxy in search of intelligent life. They never returned, and Jorus C'Baoth was presumed dead. Indeed, he eventually was, but this was not the end of C'Baoth's story, or of him... He was latter seen in service of Grand Admiral Thrawn, putting his newly found dark powers to use.  [top]

J'Quille
     Jabba's Whiphid bounty hunter, J'Quille was really Lady Valarian's spy and assassin. He was also

J'Quille

one of her lovers, but later fell out of favor with bounty placed on his head. With no where to turn to, he returned to Tatooine and traded his body for a spider walker as he joined B'omarr monks who inhabited Jabba's palace.  [top]

Kabe
     Like her large furry counterpart, Muftak, Kabe was left orphaned by slavers who thought she was too small for any profit. The Chadra-Fan were easy prey after the Chadran disaster left their simple civilization in ruins. Pirates and slave-traders swept across the planet, gathering everything of any value, including the population themselves. Not that the Chadra-Fan were a very valuable item on the black market; they were too small for labor and considered too unclean for domestic use, despite their strict hygiene. Even by these standards, Kabe was rejected and left to die when the slavers made a hurried escape from Mos Eisley.
     In spite of her dark origins, Kabe is remarkably fun-loving and innocent. Although she is still a child, she is surprisingly skilled in many trades of the street. In addition to gambling over a snifter of Mos Eisley's strongest Juri juice, she excels at using her size and speed to make her a skillful thief. Muftak usually protects her from those who would look to turn her in. Such a large guardian allows her free reign in most of the city.
     Among the Jawas, Kabe is a nuisance almost worth doing something about. Her favorite game involves dressing as a Jawa and collecting a non-existent "service tax". The tiny merchants have been violently confronted for refunds several times too many, pushing them closer and closer to abducting the child and tossing her to the Sarlaac.  [top]

Kal Nkai
     Hailing originally from the Arcona home world of Cona, Kal Nkai found himself in the Mos Eisley Cantina sharing his misery with the other denizens. As a fairly young member of his species, 16 by human standards, Goldeye as he is known to the regulars, has already gathered a lifetime's worth of pain.
     During a long and violent water war between his Grand Nest and an adjacent one, Kal Nkai's family was forced to abandon their homestead and find other, safer grounds to hunt for their life sustaining water pods. His father, Kal Mpon, firmly believed that fighting amongst themselves was a futile effort, as it only wasted time that could be spent fighting their common enemy, dehydration. Not only was it a misdirected effort, but the strain of battle only increased their thirst. So they left their nest and headed for lands they could settle without getting caught in a fight.
     Still a child, Kal Nkai hadn't yet learned the difference between helpless and harmful plant life, so he relied greatly on his parents' judgment. His father accepted the responsibility of testing the flora for defense mechanisms, but even his vast experience didn't prepare him for the new life forms they found in the wilderness. Free water was scarce; even the plants fought to keep it in creative and sometimes deadly ways. One form issued an odorless paralyzing gas when disturbed. Kal Nkai found his father's dead body beside one after he'd been missing for over a week.
     With no water in storage and even less experience in dealing with their new surroundings, Kal Nkai and his mother were desperate. Kal Nkai had heard of a prospect settlement run by offworlders nearby and decided it would be well worth the time to offer his services in exchange for imported water. They agreed to employ him as a package runner and soon he was delivering full time.
     It didn't take long for him to realize the packages he ran were full of salt, an illegal narcotic substance on Cona. But he had a responsibility to his mother and continued to play ignorant. Soon, however, the residue on the packaging and in the settlement office found its way through his skin, prompting Kal Nkai to give in and try the stuff. He liked it.
     Being in such close contact to the source, he used more and more, continuously denying his addiction. So long as it didn't interfere with his work or income, he was alright. The time came when the settlement ship had to return with their ore and stock up with more liquid currency. The prospectors teased Kal Nkai with stories of their wondrous homeworld covered in saltwater, and his mind raced. After a brief discussion with his mother highlighting all the fabricated benefits of his leaving, she wished him farewell.
     The trip across the galaxy was a long one, full of trade stops and layovers. It was during a stop on Tatooine he learned of his mother's passing. His grief and helplessness drove him from the ship into the Cantina, where he stayed for nearly four straight days. The crew of the settlement ship tried to pull him away so they could make their next stop, but he wouldn't budge. He wasn't ready to move on, absolutely unwilling to return to Cona. The ship left without him, stranding him with only two weeks worth of provisions.
     Since then, he has been forced into moisture farming, a trade he's genetically suited for. His heat sensor and multi-band vision allows him to locate subsurface stores and water pockets much easier than most farmers. But he isn't looking to succeed, only survive. What little extra spending money he makes is usually dropped on molded salt licks.  [top]

Kubaz
     The mysterious Kubaz are generally seen as repulsive creatures, thick and dark green, almost black, with bristly tufts of hair jutting from the top of their head. Their large eyes are painfully sensitive to red wavelengths of light, forcing most Kubaz to wear protective lenses when offworld. And if their appearances weren't creepy enough, their affinity towards insects as a staple to their diet turns most heads away.
     Kubindi suffers from reoccurring severe solar flares. One such seizure razed Kubindi's surface, killing nearly all indigenous plant life. The people began to raid insect hives, equipped with strong tools for crushing, thick hide for protection from stings, and a sticky prehensile tongue for probing the deeper corners of the hives.
     The Kubaz wandered the planet, hunting their tiny prey, who became more and more clever in hiding their hives. Soon the food became scarce, and they began to farm their own insects. This led to widespread hive rustling. Hive Wars were fought and lost over insects that may or may not have been stolen. This problem was solved by genetically designing custom strains of insects with individual patterns representing each herd.
     Now that Insecticulture was a relatively safe means of support, the Kubaz began a worldwide trade system, broadening the market by exchanging crops of bugs. As technological advancements allowed faster trading and more accurate account tracking, Kubaz society became denser and more complex. It was only a matter of time before they reached towards space.
     Kubaz now inhabit the sixth, eighth, and eleventh planets orbiting Ku'Bakai, sharing these worlds with few outsiders. They live in close-knit family apartments and rarely separate from their mate. The children go to a creche at the age of five where they are cared for by a single, usually widowed adult female.  [top]

Labria
     If every spaceport has its mascot drunkard, Labria is Mos Eisley's. In sharp contrast to his remarkably sinister appearance, Labria is noted as one of the city's most pathetic citizens. He considers himself one of the best information brokers on Tatooine, selling factoids and tidbits to anyone with money, but rarely knows anything worth buying. While it's pretty difficult to tell when he's really drunk or just faking in order to gain confidences, everyone who knows him avoids mentioning anything of importance. In those few instances he hears something that sounds important, he doesn't bother to check the validity of the source, which usually impacts the value of his word.
     He does, however, supply Garindan with a great amount of information about Jabba the Hutt. Unfortunately, his facts are usually planted for the sheer purpose of misleading the spy. As far as Labria is concerned, if there is anyone at fault, it is Garindan who is obviously too simple minded to understand the information as it is given.
     He has begun saving money in a local bank under the pseudonym "Airbal", convinced that no one will recognize it as "Labria" spelled backwards. He is hoping to be able to afford an Imperial commission.  [top]

Lady Valarian
     Jabba's prime opponent, this Whiphid female ran the Lucky Despot cantina and strove to find ways to humiliate and kill Jabba.  [top]

Lak Sivrak
     The Wolfman of Mos Eisley, one of the city's most recent refugees, is a mystery even to those as powerful as Jabba the Hutt. Many speculate that he must be one of the Shistavanen Wolfmen from the Uvena system, a tribe of quiet hunters who excel at survival on unexplored worlds. From the notches cut into the stock of his blast rifle, others have surmised that he is a master scout and, with the Empire sealing off the Outer Rim, that leaves very little territory left to practice his trade. The Imperial authorities don't take well to trespassing.
     Only from thoroughly weeding through Alliance files is it known that Lak Sivrak was at one time one of the Empire's best explorers. Not concerned at all with political matters, he spent most of his time charting hostile territory light years away from even the hint of civilization. He was completely oblivious to the existence of any Rebellion. So when he ran across a colony of Rebels displaced from their destroyed home worlds, he took them as settlers and offered to assist them. In those months, they told him of the Empire's tyrannical practices and the Alliance's noble efforts against it. When it came time for him to move on, he promised not to divulge their secret to his employers.
     The Imperial Navy, however, discovered the Rebels during a follow-up expedition and conducted a thorough interrogation of the prisoners. Lak Sivrak was branded a traitor. After blasting several stormtroopers, he took to the underground where he is now being hunted by the Empire. Ill feelings towards his old employers and very tight financial strain has given him cause to seriously consider joining the Alliance.  [top]

Lando Calrissian
     Lando Calrissian, soldier-of-fortune and master gambler, turned "respectable" after winning stewardship of Bespin's Cloud City in a game of sabacc. As Baron Administrator of Cloud City and

Lando Calrissian

its Tibanna-gas mining operation, he proved to be adept at keeping the outpost on an even keel and turning a handsome profit. In fact, things were going so well that Calrissian should have realized his luck was about to change. Imperial forces under the command of Lord Darth Vader arrived at Cloud City and "persuaded" Calrissian to assist them. The Dark Lord made Lando an offer he could not refuse - a deal to keep the Empire out of Bespin system forever. All Lando had to do was betray his old friend, associate, and sometime-rival Han Solo.
     After escaping from Imperial forces in the Hoth system, Han Solo brought his damaged Millennium Falcon to Cloud City for repairs. Lando, who once owned the Falcon until he lost it to Solo in a sabacc game, welcomed Solo and his companions to the facility, promising to get his techs right to work on the Falcon's troublesome hyperdrive. While he played the cordial and dashing host, Lando was setting Solo up for a fall - though the fall that came was not the one Lando had agreed to. He went along with Vader because the Dark Lord had claimed to be after someone named Skywalker. Solo, Leia, Chewbacca, and C-3PO were nothing more than bait, the Dark Lord had claimed, explaining that after the trap had been sprung, the four could remain on Bespin. The Empire's promise to leave Cloud City to its own devices and the large number of heavily armed stormtroopers at Vader's side had convinced Lando to go along with the deal. When he discovered that Vader was changing the terms to suit his own purposes and that his beloved Cloud City was about to become an armed camp, Lando finally decided to help Han. He ordered the evacuation of Cloud City, but was too late to rescue Han Solo from the bounty hunter Boba Fett. Instead, he helped Leia and Chewbacca escape in the Falcon, and even managed to help save Luke Skywalker from the very bottom of the floating city.
     Later, Lando took part in the mission to rescue Han Solo from the clutches of Jabba the Hutt. His role in that mission was one of deceit, for he disguised himself as one of Jabba's guards and worked his way into Jabba's court so that he could watch, listen, and wait for an opportunity to make a move. After saving Solo and helping to destroy Jabba the Hutt, Lando decided to take a commission in the Rebel Alliance. Due to his reputation as a soldier-of-fortune, especially for his role in the Battle of Taanab, Lando was given the rank of general. He then volunteered to lead the starfighter assault on the second Death Star, a job that was made much easier by Solo's generous offer of the Millennium Falcon. At the helm of the Falcon, Lando's daring, expertise, and quick thinking were pivotal in the great space battle that took place above Endor's forest moon. In fact, he accompanied Wedge Antilles on the run to destroy the Death Star's power core. In the end, Lando was decorated as a hero alongside Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia.  [top]

Leia Organa Solo (or Princess Leia)
     Swept away from her home at a young age by Obi-Wan Kenobi, Leia Organa has few memories of her natural parents. She was told that they died and that Bail Organa took her in. In truth, Obi-Wan secretly placed her under Bail's care when her father,

Princess Leia

Anakin Skywalker, became Darth Vader. The Organas were as loving as foster parents could be, and she considered herself to be their own child.
     As Bail was Viceroy of Alderaan at the time, Leia received the best education from the best schools. She grew to be a strong political leader and became one of the youngest members of the Imperial Senate. From there, she fought for reforms, usually to no success. Soon she began to work for the Alliance.
     It was at her father's insistence that she departed on the mission that began the events leading to the Battle of Yavin. She was to find Obi-Wan Kenobi and, on the way, receive the stolen plans to the Death Star. Both missions were passed on to the astromech droid R2-D2 when her ship was overtaken by a Star Destroyer.
     Leia is a strong-willed woman with her ideas firmly rooted in her ideals. She knows the course of action that should be taken, although has trouble explaining it. This supports her "do it and they'll see" philosophy. Her primary concern is for the Rebel Alliance, but somewhere deep down, cries a lonely child searching for someone who truly understands her.
     Much later in the Civil War, Luke and Leia discovered an amazing secret: They were twin brother and sister! And Leia, too, had a natural ability to feel the Force. Soon after the end of the conflict, Leia replaced Mon Mothma as the leader of the New Republic, Han and Leia got married and had three children: Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin.  [top]

Luke Skywalker
     Luke never knew his real parents. He was raised by Owen and Beru Lars on a moisture farm deep in the wastes of Tatooine. He was led to believe they were his aunt and uncle who took him in after his parents were killed. He was totally oblivious to the fact that his real father had become the Dark Lord of the Sith and that Owen was doing a favor to his brother, Obi-Wan Kenobi,

Luke Skywalker

by taking in the child. Owen tried several times to dissuade Luke from pursuing Kenobi and, in turn, the truth. While keeping Luke from joining the Imperial Academy was said to be for the good of the farm, in actuality he wanted to keep Luke as far from the Empire as possible, even if that meant locking him at home.
     Luke was an eager boy, talking large dreams with his friends Camie, Fixer, and Biggs. In fact, it was Biggs who turned Luke onto the Rebellion by jumping ship and joining up. Bright, eager, and unusually strong in the center, Luke was a model Rebel just waiting for his chance. And that chance came in the form of two droids jettisoned from the "Tantive IV". Had Owen not purchased the droids on the Jawa market, the Battle of Yavin may never have occurred and Luke may never have become the hero he is today.
     The droids led him to Obi-Wan who suggested to Luke that perhaps he had a greater destiny, one that must be actively taken. Luke struggled with this until finding Owen and Beru slain by the Empire.
     Confident in his abilities, Luke trained to become the finest Jedi he could be, taking every bit of knowledge Obi-Wan and Yoda could offer. It has become his single heartfelt goal to restore the New Republic by recreating the Jedi. To this purpose, he started a Jedi Academy on Yavin IV, where he trained the New Jedi Order.  [top]

Lumpawarrump
     Lumpawarrump was Chewbacca's only son. When Chewbacca left his home planet of Kashyyyk to protect Han Solo, to whom he owed a life debt, Lumpawarrump was left behind in care of his mother. However as he grew up, he did not have a father to turn to and thus lacked the courage necessary to pass his adulthood tests. However he showed himself really well when he left with his father to save Han Solo from the clutches of Yevetha.  [top]

Malakili
     Jabba's rancor keeper. With the death of rancor and soon following Jabba's demise, Malakili and Jabba's cook Porcellus opened Crystal Moon restaurant in Mos Eisley. The two still operate the restaurant whose fame has spread wide.  [top]

Mara Jade
     Little is know about Mara Jade's past, and that's just the way she'd like it. She's held many jobs over the last few years, but everytime she begins to set down roots, something in her dreams drives her to move, sever any friendships she's made. Currently, she finds herself working for the smuggler Talon Karrde, and has earned his trust although she has not satisfied his curiosity. She is unable or unwilling to explain her uncanny ability to predict when trouble's about to start. She has, however, proven herself quite capable, and about to become his second-in-command, despite only being with Karrde's organization a few months.
     Something is fundamentally wrong though, something she keeps hidden, perhaps to do with her past. Worse still, the dreams are beginning again, and although she feels she has found a home with Karrde's people, she is afraid of what might happen if they learned the truth.
     Later more becomes known about her. It is said that she was Emperor's helper and perhaps lover. Using her ability with Force (developed by Emperor) she is very usefull to him. After Emperor's death, she made a vow to kill Luke Skywalker

Medical Droid

and almost succeeded before she saw the wrong of her ways. It is rumored that she and Lando are falling together.  [top]

Medical Droid
     When Luke was rescued from the wampa ice cave he was near death from exposure to the freezing cold. Back at Echo Base, he was saved with a session in a bacta tank and by the attention of medical droid 2-1B.  [top]

Mirax Terrik
     Following her father, Booster Terrik, Mirax became a smuggler. She smuggled a variety of things including some for the Rebellion. While smuggling things for Rogue Squadron, she met Corran Horn, the son of her father's old rival. They instantly fell in love and soon married.  [top]

Momaw Nadon
     Once the proud leader of the Grand Herd Ship "Tafanda Bay", Momaw Nadon found himself caught between the past and the future. Despite the neutral ways of the peaceful Ithorians, he was forced to take sides in the Civil Conflict spreading throughout the Galaxy and was subsequently banished from his homeworld for it.
     Although the Ithorians crossed the stellar freeways in great merchant "herd ships", they were oblivious to the existence of any Rebellion or any Imperial trouble. It wasn't until the Star Destroyer "Conquest" emerged from light speed in orbit over Ithor that they even recognized the increased monitoring for smugglers. As traders of unusual merchandise, they allowed the Empire this inconvenience. The Ithorian elders maintained they had nothing to hide. This all soon changed.
     As a largely ecological species, Ithorians have learned to co-exist with their world and develop a sacred relationship with all living things. This is evident in the great Herd Ships designed to support all sorts of life forms by simulating any conceivable environment in various biospheres all contained within the hull. The "Tafanda Bay" was the flagship of the Ithorian Ground Fleet, offering tours to off-worlders free of charge. It was through these tours that the Empire learned of several valuable agricultural practices whose secrets were protected by Ithorian religion. Asdual-throated speech is very difficult to reproduce, the Empire found it difficult to find spies able to infiltrate the "Tafanda Bay" records department. No self-respecting Hammerhead would betray the sacred trust of the Mother Jungle.
     After several varied attempts to gain the secrets, the Empire reverted to traditional means of espionage. But before they could gather the information, the six Imperial agents were discovered and banished. This infuriated the "Conquest"'s captain and he took the Herd Ship by force. Either they turn over the requested information or the planet would be turned into a lifeless moon. As herd ship leader, Momaw was torn between being banished as a religious turncoat and blasphemer or sentencing the Mother Jungle to death. Nobly, he chose the former.
     Before his excommunication, Momaw urged his people not to remain complacent. It was time, he said, to pull the weeds before the garden of the Galaxy is choked by the presence of the Empire. This caused the elders to strongly reconsider their neutral stand and place a high priority on the matter for the next Herd Meet.
     Momaw now roams the Spaceports, offering assistance to the Rebellion where he is able, even if it is only shelter in his secret hideaway.  [top]

Mon Calamari
     Mon Calamari live on a planet almost entirely covered by water. Mon Calamari share their planet with Quarren, but have coped with survival in different ways. Calamari, who had adopted the name of their world and who

Mon Calamari

were air breathers, built tremendous floating cities, while the Quarren were largely water breathers, and prefferd to live in the ocean depths.
     Over time, the Mon Calamari made contact with the Quarren, and the two species began a symbolic relationship. The Quarren mined the deep sea ores on the planet, whle the Calamari created the civilization's floating cities. Each city had multiple levels, extending both above and below water. The Quarren lived in the lower levels, and the Calamari lived above. While the Quarren swam to move around the planet, the Calamari used wavespeeders to get from city to city, and submersible devices to explore the oceans.
     For millennia, the Mon Calamari and Quarren lived peaceful lives. The Calamari developed a highly evolved and civilized culture. Their art, music, literature, and science were all important to them; they eventually developed space travel to explore new worlds and make friends with the other civilizations, as they had done with the Quarren. Floating space platforms and spaceship facilities orbited the planet, mirroring life on the surface below.
     The first time a Mon Calamari ship met an Imperial ship, the Calamari made overtures of peace and free trade, but the Imperials were mere interested in slaves and Mon Calamari technology. They began an invasion, and when the peaceful people protested, Emperor Palpatine ordered the destruction of three of their floting cities. The Emperor wanted to send a clear message across the galaxy as to the fate of all those who opposed his New Order, especially the "inferior" alien species. The plan backfired. The Mon Calamari began using their technology to create weaponry and battleships. They eventually drove the Empire away, but of great cost to their cities and leadership.  [top]

Mon Mothma
     The last Senior Senator of the Old Republic to hold that position, Mon Mothma held true to the values of fairness, compassion, and freedom for all that her parents, also high-ranking, had taught her.

Mon Mothma

Senator Bail Organa soon recognized her qualities and, with his help, she became a principal activist in the Rebellion under his command. Her deeds quickly led to her election as chief of state of the Rebel Alliance, second in command to Bail.
     With the destruction of Alderaan and Bail's death, Mon Mothma took charge of the rebels and led them to many a successful mission including the assault and eventual destruction of the Empire's most feared and deadly weapons, the Death Stars.
     After a failed assassination attempt, she retired and Leia Organa replaced her. [top]

Muftak
     Muftak is as much a part of Mos Eisley as the Cantina is. Born to an unknown set of parents and left orphaned on the steps of Docking Bay 12, Muftak grew up strong and street-wise. He knows most of Tatooine's inhabitants and probably sees more than Garindan and Figrin Da'n combined. He is gentle and easy to befriend, testament to his companionship with Kabe. But one should not get the wrong idea. Make a single foul comment and you could wind up missing more limbs than you started out with.
     Muftak holds no allegiance but to himself and Kabe. His only concern is the here and now, making just enough money to get by in the warm abandoned docking tunnels he calls home. A long conversation with Momaw Nadon is currently his favorite pastime.  [top]

Muuurgh
     A Togorian male who left his home planet in search of his beloved one who left earlier. He ended up working for Ylesia Priests to get the money to continue of his search. He was assigned the duty of making sure that Han Solo who came to them to work as a pilot did not go where he was not supposed to. Later Han won him over by saving his life and showing him that Ylesia Priests have lied to him and his beloved was on the same planet. Together with Han Solo they escape from Ylesia. Muuurgh returns to his home planet with his beloved and marries her.  [top]

Mynocks
     A mynock is a parasitic creature that feeds on energy. These black, leathery flyin creatures attach themselves with suction organs to passing starships. They typically travel in packs, and a comon specimen can grow as large as 1.6 meters and have a wingspan of 1.25 meters.
     Mynocks are silicon-based life-form that evolved in the vacuum of space. They are nourished by stellar radiation and absorb silicon and other minerals from asteroids and other space debris. When they absorb enough extra material, they reproduce by dividing in two. As they are extremely energy-tropic, they often attach themselves to passing starships. They not only seek energy spillage these ships give off, but they absorb the minerals from hulls in order to reproduce themself. This causes untold damage to the ship if their persence is not discovered in time. Although they once came from a single system, mynocks have migrated throughout the galaxy as unwanted passengers aboard unsuspecting starships.  [top]

Nien Nunb
     Coming from the underground cities of his volcanic homeworld

Nien Nunb

of Sullust, Nien Nunb worked as a navigator and pilot for Sorosuub Corp., his planet's largest industrial company. Nien met Lando Calrissian during one of his shipping runs and over time they became friends. After discovering the company's plans to support the Empire's takeover of his planet's government he found that he could no longer work for them and began smuggling for the rebellion.
     Needing an expert navigator for the rebels' attack on the Empire's second Death Star looming in orbit around Endor, Lando called on Nien and together they played a vital part in the destruction of that Death Star. Since then, Nien has continued to work alongside Lando, Han and the rebels whenever needed.  [top]

Oola
     Jabba's Twi'lek dancer who was lured into slavery by promises of riches and wealthy people to dance for. Along the way to Jabba's palace she was offered her freedom by Luke Skywalker

Oola

who rescued her fellow dancer. She declined and ended up dancing for Jabba. Due to her rebellious character, Jabba threw her to the rancor.  [top]

Owen and Beru Lars
     Owen Lars grew up in the shadow of his brother, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Obi-Wan always had the attention of his elders and superiors, blazing a trail through the Old Republic Academy and leaving Owen far behind. He decided to break away from his home and start a new life with his recent bride, Beru Weth.
     The newlyweds built a moisture farm on Tatooine, figuring that was far enough away from anyone they knew. Years later, however, Obi-Wan found them and asked them to take in the infant Luke Skywalker. Owen was against helping his brother in any way, but Obi-Wan reached Beru with the child's story. She exercised her great skill in reasoning with Owen, and soon he agreed.
     The couple raised the child as their own, but Luke kept his last name. They told their neighbors he was their nephew, orphaned recently when his mother died in a terrible accident. They instilled in him proper values and he became a strong, upstanding individual they were genuinely proud of. And their pride would have grown tenfold had they lived to see him become the Hero of Yavin. Unfortunately, the Empire traced two renegade droids Owen had bought and razed the farm, killing the couple with little mercy.  [top]

Ponda Baba
     As one of the frontier's most average smugglers, Ponda Baba worked his way through the galaxy pillaging small rewards from weak people. He briefly shared a partnership with a Grueshite arms dealer named Jothel Merritt, but that was cut short by the untimely appearance of Jodo Kast, the galaxy-renowned bounty hunter. That day, Ponda decided he was better left to work alone.
     His career stumbled along slowly, a stolen cache of spice here, a burned out cargo barge there. It wasn't until his first encounter with the notorious Doctor Evazan that he decided to take on another partner. He was making minor repairs in Truuzdann, a small spaceport in the Corellian system, when Evazan ran into the docking bay pursued by Jodo Kast. Ponda's first instinct was for revenge, quickly running off the bounty hunter with fire from a turret hidden beneath his ship. He kindly took the doctor aboard, secretly planning on collecting the bounty himself, but after counter-weighing the advantages of working with the doctor, he decided against it. He and Evazan then began to terrorize the underside of the galaxy as Ponda had only dreamed.
     It was Ponda's overconfidence in the doctor's reputation that lost him his right arm. Usually bullish and tough in the doctor's presence, Ponda chose a fight with a young Luke Skywalker. Expecting perhaps a poorly drawn blaster or feeble slap across the head, Ponda was caught completely unprepared to deal with Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber. In a matter of seconds, he learned one of the most valuable lessons of his life. It is believed that Ponda and Evazan now run the Millennium Falcon's routes for Jabba the Hutt. He hopes to one day be able to afford a cyborganic arm so that Evazan might graft it in place of the one he lost.  [top]

Porcellus
     Porcellus was Jabba's enslaved cook, who lived constantly in fear of death. For Jabba was very demanding of his food and Porcellus almost ended up rancor food on many occasions. With Jabba's death, he opened a restaurant in Mos Eisley with his friend Malakili, the rancor keeper.  [top]

Probe Droid
     Probe droids, or probots, are designed to perform reconnaissance missions, gathering data and transmitting it back to their masters. As

Probe Droid

sophisticated surveillance and tracking droids, probots have a wide variety of scientific and military aplications. Tenacious hunters and searchers, probots are equipped with an array of sensors, including electronmagnetic, motive, seismic, and olfactory measuring devises. Military probots typically receive offensive and defensive weapinry. Designed to withstand the rigors of space and hostil planetary enviornments, these droids are extremely tough and durable, and have a variety of specialized tools connected to many mechanical appendages.
     Most probots are launched in one-way pods which get the droids to their target locations. Once there, they must complete their mission and report back to their bases of origin. If feasible, the bases may provide a means for the droids' return; otherwise they are on their own. If the mission calls for it, probots are provided with orbital ships that allow them to perform their mission from space and then return to their bases. Most models use repulsors to provide locomotion once they reach their destination. The Empire employed a large number of these droids to search for the hidden Rebel base after the Battle of Yavin. One finally tracked the Rebels to the ice planet Hoth. After broadcasting its findings back to its command ship, the probot self-destructed in order to avoid capture.  [top]

Quarren
     Quarren share their water covered planet with Mon Calamari. Unlike Mon Calamari who are air breathers, Quarren preffere the deep oceans. Over time, Mon Calamari have made a symbolic relationship. The Quarren mined the deep sea ores on the planet and Mon Calamari developed the new technology. The floating cities that were built, had several levels. The underwater levels were reserved for Quarren.  [top]

Rancor
     A huge carnivore that stands on two legs. When it is standing, its powerful arms reach the ground. Jabba the Hutt acquired a rancor after a ship that was carrying it crashed

Rancor

on Tatooine. Jabba hired a professional beast keeper, Malakili to take care of the rancor. The rancor was kept in a huge chamber under Jabba's palace and was fed the unlucky

Ree Yees

beings that displeased Jabba. In the end Luke Skywalker managed to kill the rancor when he was dropped into the pit.  [top]

Ree-Yees
     The three-eyed, goat-faced Gran was outcast from his people for killing another Gran. Lonely and a drunkard, Ree-Yees turned to petty theivery to survive. He eventually ended up in Jabba's Palace taking care of Jabba's watch-"dog", Bubo. Ree-Yees was bitter and drunk most of the time and as a result he was not well liked. But Ree-Yees had a plan to leave this harsh life behind. He was secretly receiving shipments from the Empire so that he could build a detonator that he would use to kill Jabba with. In return, the Empire would clear his name on his homeworld and allow him to return.
     Unfortunately he could not complete the device in time and on a trip to feed some rebels to the Sarlacc, Jabba was killed before his eyes by one of the rebels as they retaliated. Ree-Yees was killed aboard Jabba's sail barge as it exploded due to the rebels' attack.
     It is believed that the name "Ree-Yees" was derived from scrambling the letters in the phrase "Three-Eyes" which he does posses.  [top]

Rodians
     As a race, Rodians are historically hunters. Their small planet in the Tyrius system is thick with tropical growth and was at one time teeming with all sorts of lifeforms. Greedo's ancestors never found the need to farm their food when the Jungle provided

Rodian

plenty to hunt for. As they developed greater tools, however, the large game eventually became extinct, leaving little left to challenge them. To fill this absence, they created fierce physical competitions and bloody wars that would last thousands of years. It wasn't until the first visitors to their planet arrived that they stopped fighting amongst themselves and focused their sights into space. Over the bodies of the Old Republic scouts, the Rodian Grand Protector pointed upwards and smiled.
     Rodian Hunters take pride in their trade, frequently braving the void to retrieve their quarry. They are efficient in the kill, preferring thermal detonators to blasters as few species can escape a grenade. They allow just enough witnesses and remains to verify their kill to the Guild on Rodia, where they receive large awards for a successful hunt. It is with this award in mind that they carry out their duty. The bounty itself is often negotiated in trade for the body.  [top]

R2-D2 & C-3PO
     After over 100 years in function, C-3PO has spent the last several decades in faithful service to the Senate. Through several reassignments, the droid has worked under some of the most influential political figures in the galaxy. During this time, he became

C-3PO

acquainted with an astromech droid, R2-D2. The two shared base programming stemming from similar code and became close "friends". They didn't serve together very often, although they did find themselves assigned to the same ship or station on several occasions. Even then, R2 spent most of his time in mechanical subprogramming hangars while 3PO translated for

R2-D2

the many species on the Senate floor. As he was fluent in over 6 million languages, he was loaned to ambassadors many times.
     It was their fateful trip on the Tantive IV that truly brought them together. While 3PO was being transported to his newest master, Captain Antilles, R2 was being programmed to seek out Obi-Wan Kenobi and deliver the secret plans stored in his memory. The astromech droid was to be jettisoned to Tatooine alone in search of the Jedi Knight. Unfortunately, Tantive IV was overtaken by a Star Destroyer minutes before the droid was to leave. There was just enough time for Princess Leia to record a final plea before sending him off. What was not in the plan was to have 3PO tagging along, bailing with R2 to escape being melted down by the Empire.
     Very soon after landing, the two were captured by Jawas and sold on auction. Fortunately for both of them, they were purchased by Owen Lars and placed in the care of Luke Skywalker. They couldn't have asked for a better guardian. R2 didn't recognize Luke for who he was and had no way of knowing the role Luke would eventually play in the Battle of Yavin. He continued to seek out Obi-Wan on its own, prompting Luke to go after him, and eventually, student and master Jedi were introduced.
     The droids have remained with Luke ever since and their skills are put to use for the Alliance on a daily basis. Threepio's protocol and linguistic talents are use in Leia's diplomatic affairs as well as to help her raise the children, while Artoo's

Salacious Crumb

mechanical programming skills are put to use in the rear pod of Luke's X-wing. The two are "spiritually" inseparable, despite their constant bickering, and when separated for long periods, actually begin to "miss" each other.  [top]

Salacious Crumb
     Jabba's clown and spy, this monkey lizard had a very nasty character.  [top]

Sarlacc

Sarlacc
     Sarlacci spores land on planets and begin to grow deep into the ground. Their open mouth is a hole into which the unfortunate victims fall assisted by a mass of tentacles. While in their bellies, a slow acid takes long time to digest them while they are held in place by tentacles. One of the Sarlaccs lived in the Dune Sea of planet Tatooine and was one of the favorite executioners for Jabba the Hutt.  [top]

Shi'ido
     These species have a unique shape-changing and mind-influencing abilities. Because of these abilities, Shi'ido are most often used as spies and assassins. Fortunately they are few in numbers and don't have much influence. Some say that Shi'ido have a natural in-born ability in the Force, but that rumor has not been confirmed.  [top]

Space Slug
In low asteroidal gravity, space slugs can grow to huge proportions of estimated of 750 to 900 meters. The slugs are primarily smooth and vermiform, but long root tendrils snake out of the rear portion and burrow into the rock where they break it down for nutrients. Stormtroopers
     The Imperial shock troops who are totally loyal to the Emperor are called stromtroopers. Unlike

Scout Trooper

regular Imperial soldiers, stromtroopers wear white-and-black armored spacesuits over black body gloves. They are deployed to neutralized resistance to the New Order, and placed aboard Imperial vessels to be used as first-strike forces and to make sure lower officers, stromtroopers will rush into combat without a thought for their own safety. If the Emperor issues an oder, stromtroopers will drop everything else to obey it. Their armored spacesuits provide limited protection against blaster fire. The two-piece body glove controls body temperature. Stromtrooper officers wear shoulder poltroons.
     Totally loyal to the Empire, stroomtroopers cannot be bribed, seduced, or blackmailed into betraying their Emperor. They live in a totally disciplined, totally militaristic world where obedience is paramount and the will of the Emperor is absolute. In addition to main stromtrooper legions, a number of special units have been assembled to operate on varied worlds and climates of the empire. To deal with problems on ice-covered worlds, snowtroopers are elite froven-environment combatants. Also white-and-black armor equipped with powerful heating and personal environment units, terrain-grip boots, and breathing masks.
     Second only to the Royal Guard, the elite zero-g stromtroopers, or space troopers, are trained to operate exclusively in space. When the Empire needs to launch an assault on a spacefaring vessel, spacetroopers are sent in to do the job. Each trooper wears full body armor capable of withstanding the rigors of hard vacuum. This armor functions as a personal spacecraft and attack vehicle. With sensor arrays, magnetic couplers for adhering to ships, repulsorlift propulsion units, and wide assortment of weaponry, spacetroopers armor makes these troopers fearsome to behold. Two meter tall and twice as wide as normal a stromtrooper, spacetroopers can unleash a devastating barrage on their targets. Concussion, gas, and stun grenades, miniature proton torpedoes, blaster cannons, and laser cutters are standard ordnance. Specially designed assult shuttlers carry spacetroopers into combat.
     Scout troopers are lightly armored, highly mobile stromtroopers who are usually asigned to Imerial garrisons. They use speeder bikes to patrol perimeters, perfrom reconnaissance missions, and scout troopers wear specialived helmets equipped with built-in macrobinocular viewplates and sensor arrays. These feed into computers that analyze terrain features instantaneously to help the scouts navigate at high speeds. They also map the areas they explore, producing a continuous record of each mission they participate in. Scout troopers wear lightweight armor and padding over a black body glove, and carry small automatic blasters.  [top]

Talon Karrde
     Though Talon Karrde is a smuggler, there is little he shares with Han Solo. Although they are both charismatic, where Han was a loner and flew by the seat of his pants, Talon is meticulous, organized and surrounded by associates. With the fall of Jabba the Hutt, Talon Karrde became the largest organized smuggling operation in the quadrant. His penchant for information keeps him well-informed and there is little in the galaxy that happens without him knowing.
     Karrde is not an evil man, but he is not particularly altruistic either - he prefers the well-defined boundries of making a buck. He has a small hand-picked group of operatives, among whom is Ghent, a "slicer" - someone who "slices" through encyptions and security programs - and the engimatic Mara Jade, his newly appointed second-in-command. Despite Karrde's well-stocked sources of information, he knows next to nothing about the past of the formidable woman calling herself Mara Jade, something that does not make him althogether easy.
     Above all though, Karrde is a fair man and more than anything desires to remain completely neutral should there be a revival of Imperial-Alliance hostilities - something he knows more than anyone is dangerously immenant. The fate of the pro-Empire Jabba though makes Karrde's commitment to stay neutral more important in his mind for the coming months. Although he knows well the story of Lando Calrissian, and what moral it holds for

Tauntaun

smugglers, he may be unable to escape the fate it entails.  [top]

Tauntauns
     Tauntauns are found in the frozen wastelands of Hoth. They usually travel in herds, their thick fur protecting them from extreme cold. When the Rebels had their base on Hoth, tauntauns were valuable as pack animals and for short trips outside Echo base.  [top]

Tessek
     Jabba's Quarren lieutenant who among others planed Jabba's death. He took care of

Tessek

Jabba's money and planed to take them with him when the Jabba was no more. He managed to escape the destruction of Jabba's barge, but when he returned to the fortress, B'omarr Monks placed his brain in a jar.  [top]

Togorians
     Three meter tall feline aliens, Togorians have needle like fangs and claws that could rip through durasteel. Under their fur, huge muscles bulge. On their native world of Togoria, males and females live segregated and only come together for one month in a year to mate. Males fly winged lizards mosgoths and hunt while living nomadic style. Females live in the cities, developing all the technology and raising domesticated animals. Togorians are known to be one of the most honorable sentients in the galaxy.  [top]

Tusken Raiders
     The Sand People of Tatooine, also called the Tusken Raiders, are a nomadic species with violent

Tusken Raider

tendencies. To protect themselves from the harsh desert environment, Sand People wear heavy robes and strips of cloth, breath masks, and eye protectors. The very aggressive Sand People live in an uneasy peace with Tatooine's moisture farmers. They have been known to attack settlements from time to time. Travelling in small tribes atop their banthas, these nomads are experts at desert survival. Their traditional weapon is the gaderffi stick.  [top]

t'landa Til
     These distant cousins of Hutts come from Nal Hutta. They walk on four tree-trunk like legs. They have short necks that attack to massive bodies and horns on their heads. Their back reach up to average human's shoulders. The skin is oily and a set of undersized arms are half-hidden in its folds. Each hands features four fingers. They can create frequency resonance in the brain of their target that stimulates great pleasure. Originally used as a mating tool, t'landa Til Priests on Ylesia used it to hold the slaves in check that worked their spice factories. They fooled pilgrims into thinking that it was a religion.  [top]

Wampa
     Except for the tauntauns, few other life forms are known to exist on Hoth. One known creature is the flesh-eating, white-furred wampa. Using their powerful claws, these creatures can carve out their own ice caves. With their white fur they blend into the snow which is how one wampa surprised and captured Luke. The wampa took Luke to its cave and hung him upside down. Using the Force, Luke managed to escape this terrible place.  [top]

Wedge Antilles
     Wedge grew up around freighters and starships. His parents managed a fueling station off the last planet in the Gus Treta system. They were used to dealing with both pirates and the police, as it usually wasn't over a very serious matter. But one fatal day while

Wedge Antilles

Wedge was away at upper division schooling, a smuggler got spooked while refueling and blasted free from the hanger without releasing the shiplock couplings. The ship and the station went up in flames.
     When Wedge learned of this, he abandoned any aspirations he may have been kicking around, and used the insurance money to buy a stocklight freighter of his own. He knew stardrives and repulsorlift mechanics and modified the ship to serve his own purposes. He wanted his ship to be good enough to earn him money legitimately. He wanted work amongst the minority, the honest businessmen. But this was a fruitless dream, as the money made honestly was not enough to sustain him. He had to resort to smuggling.
     He made sure that if he was going to become a pirate, it would be for a noble cause, and the Rebellion seemed more than noble. It was admirable. He began by running arms to Rebel outposts throughout the galaxy, learning of more and more atrocities committed by the Empire. He had a fair number of run-ins with Imperial fighter craft, where he proved himself to be an indispensable fighter pilot. Since then, he has flown escort sorties for Rebel convoys and surveillance ships.
     He later took command of a fighter squadron and played an active role in the distruction of the Death Stars. After the end of the Civil War, he formed and became the leader of the new Rogue Squadron. Rogue Squadron lived up to its name by being the top notch fighter jockeys that went where no one else could. They were involved in the battle for Coruscant.  [top]

Weequay

Weequay
     Originally from Klatooine, these aliens also served as Jabba's guards, but they were far more intelligent than Gamorreans.  [top]

Whiphid
     Natives of Toola, these bipeds have very strong fur covered bodies and huge tasks on their big heads.  [top]

Wookiees
     Wookiees have a fur-covered biped bodies and they stand more than two meters tall. They also possess incredible strength and live for several hundred years. Wookiees are known for their loyalties. On their homeworld of Kashyyyk, young wookiees undergo the test for adulthood. They descend into the wroshyr forest below and collect fibers from carnivorous syren plants. They also have to prove their worth by hunting kataran, which also lives in the forest bellow. The most prominent Wookiee in Star Wars universe is Chewbacca who is bound to Han Solo by a life dept.  [top]

Yarna d'al' Gargan
     Jabba's fat dancer who was held in Jabba's slavery by fear that Jabba will kill her cubs. After his death, she and Sergeant Doallyn crossed the Dune Sea to Mos Eisley, where they bought a ship and left together.  [top]

Ylesia Priests
     Priests of t'landa Til species create three colonies on Ylesia that they used as a front for Hutt spice factories. They lured pilgrims in and made them work the factories. To make sure of devotion, they used their telepathic powers to give periods of intense pleasure that rivaled that of the best spice.  [top]

Yoda
     The Jedi Master Yoda lived to be approximately

Master Yoda

nine hundred years old before he finally died. For 800 of those years, Yoda served as mentor and teacher to Jedi Knights.
     A member of an as-yet-unidentified alien species, Yoda spent his last years in seclusion, hiding from the eyes of the Emperor in the shadow of Force strong cave on the swamp planet Dagobah where he finished Jedi schooling of Luke Skywalker that Obi-Wan started.  [top]

Zavval
     Zavval the Hutt ran Ylesia operation that converted raw spice into finished product. Zavval and Jiliac were business partners and later enemies.  [top]

Zekk
     Zekk had been born on Ennth, a planet with very violent seismic activities that ruined settlement every eight years. Zekk had been nine when the disaster returned. Unfortunately for him, his parents took their time gathering their things before they left for a refuge station in orbit. A groundquake had struck unexpectedly and Zekk was orphaned. He stowed away on different ships untill he ran into old Peckhum who took him in and brought him up. During his time on Coruscant, Zekk befriend Jacen and Jain Solo. However he was soon rounded up and taken as a recruit for Shadow Academy which trained Jedi Knights for Second Emperium. He excelled and was turned to the dark side. During an attack, which he led, on Jedi Academy of Yavin IV, he was confronted by Solo twins and eventually turned from the dark side. He knew that he could not join his friends, so he went off to become a mercenary.  [top]

4-LOM
     Created as a protocol droid capable of speaking 7 million languages, 4-LOM served aboard the passenger liner Kuari Princess. 4-LOM had an unusual amount of self awareness for a droid of its kind and was soon bored with its mundane duties. He and the on-ship computer would reprogram each other to plan ingenious theft scenarios involving the guests onboard the ship which 4-LOM eventually began to attempt for real. His ingenuity was astounding as no one ever suspected that he was behind all the thefts.
     He eventually turned full-time theif and informant and caught the attention of the notorious crime lord Jabba the Hutt. Jabba offered to rebuild and reprogram 4-LOM for bounty hunting in exchange for his services to which he quickly agreed. He was paired with another of Jabba's henchmen, Zuckuss, and together they performed many of the tasks Jabba had for them. When Darth Vader put out word that he was recruiting bounty hunters to track down a band of Rebels including Han Solo, a smuggler that owed Jabba money, Jabba sent his team to meet with the dark lord aboard his star destroyer.
     Unfortunately for them, Boba Fett was quicker in performing this task but Jabba, knowing that their services would still be of use, spared their lives and called for their return. They continued to work in his employ until Jabba's eventual demise at the hands of the Rebels.  [top]
