A world rich in minerals, it was best-known as the homeworld of the Metalsmiths' Guild. It was undiscovered by the Old Republic until about 3,000 years before the Clone Wars, when two independent prospectors - Vandel and Helm - first located it. The two settled on the planet with their families, and became the founders of the Metalsmiths' Guild. Following the Galactic Civil War, the Guilds threw their support to the New Republic, but the Guildmaster, Orrk, remained loyal to the Empire. He hid Commander Mordur in a converted drone barge among the asteroids, until the Imperials could regroup.

Their metalsmithing secrets have been passed down from generation to generation. (VM, MC98, PH)

Along with Coruscant, it was one of only two planets in the entire system with terrestrial environments. During the height of the Clone Wars, Vandor-3 was one of many underpopuulated worlds that served as clone trooper training grounds for the Grand Army of the Republic. Many of those clone troopers who were trained oin Vandor-3 also regarded it as the harshest of all their training grounds.

Vandron, Crueya
one of Emperor Palpatine's closest advisors, Crueya was the individual responsible for the Commission for the Protection of the Republic and its successor, COMPNOR. He saw that a popular movement which openly supported the New Order would feed upon itself, growing by leaps and bounds. His speech at the rally that announced the formation of COMPNOR started this effort off, as his stirring words emphasized and built upon the orations of Ishin Il-Raz. Vandron was also responsible for the placement of Imperial orphans into COMPNOR's SAGroups, thereby filling its ranks with children whose parents were placed in "protective custody," later to be executed for some false crime.

While on Krann, she also served as the bodyguard to Mon Tondievz's mine supervisor, Quarlo I'Shibix. Together, they were using eldratz to addict the native Kluuzot and use them as miners.

Vangaak
this Yuuzhan Vong vehicle was similar to a standard landspeeder. Like most Yuuzhan Vong vehicles, the vangaak was grown rather than built. Most vangaaks were bred to move in the water, but could move over land for short periods of time. Each vangaak fed by seining food from the water in which it lived. Excess water was expelled from filtering membranes at the posterior of the creature. The name "vangaak" came from the Yuuzhan Vong verb for "to submerge". The average vangaak measured thirty meters in length, and was formed from a yorik coral skeleton, onto which was grown a colony of kera-boa cells. The craft was then protected by the chitinous bodies of scutes from a dora-mu. (EVC, UF, NEGV)

They arrived at Hapes just as the Millennium Falcon and the Trickster arrived there. Joined by Kyp Durron, Vanguard Squadron took shape. The team eventually joined the remnants of the New Republic on Borleias, after the Battle of Coruscant, where they were assigned to elite and special operations by Wedge Antilles.

Like many of Telfrey's survivors, Tay fled to Iskalon before joining the Alliance as soon as he could. There were rumors that it was Vanis who received the plans for the second Death Star from the Bothans, but he disappeared before relaying them to the Alliance's central command. Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker were dispatched to locate Vanis and recover the plans. He left a message behind in his downed X-Wing, somewhere on the planet Arcan IV, in order to help Alliance agents locate the stolen plans, which had been hidden in the memory banks of the administration droid LE914. Luke and Leia later found him, after Vanis had been tortured by Darth Vader himself, and his mindless body left behind to die. Vader kept information on Vanis a secret, hoping to lure Luke into a trap. (LTA6, MC74, MC80, GMR1)

Vanish 2 Sensor Mask
developed and manufactured by Fabritech, this device combined electromagnetic and holographic transmissions to "hide" a starship from most sensors.

The last reports Vanko sent wer covering up nearly 25% losses. He and Torpin met in secret on the planet Aris, then boarded the Kuari Princess to discuss what their next moves would be.

The humans who were native to the planet were ostentatious in their manner of dress and decoration, preferring posh accommodations and lavish décor. Their lifestyles were shaken, just after the Battle of Coruscant, when Presider Sakins looted the planetary treasury and fled Vannix, leaving the planet bankrupt and leaderless. (EL2)

Vanqor
this planet was the largest of the worlds in the Uziel System. Much of the planet was covered by deserts and high, rocky plateaus. During the last decades of the Old Republic, Vanqor's human population began to assert control over the rest of the inhabited worlds in the system. The Vanqors subjugated all worlds but Typha-Dor before the Jedi Knights were asked to intervene. The planet was known for its native population of gundarks, which were a bit more menacing than the standard gundark found throughout the galaxy. Obi-Wan Kenobi stumbled into a nest of these gundarks during his mission to mediate a cessation to the Vanqors' invasions, and had to be rescued by his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, several years prior to the Battle of Geonosis.

Measuring seventy meters in length and carrying up to eight beings and ten metric tons of cargo, the Vanya-class courier was armed with a pair of laser cannons and a proton torpedo launcher. After the Battle fo Ruusan, when the Jedi Council declared that a Master could train no more than a single apprentice, ships such as the Vanya-class were no longer needed. (PJSB)

(NEGC)

Vaporer
this was the Clawdite word for a warrior. (GMR10)

Vapps, like Liddell, was a former fisherman, and was dragged off his vessel when Liddell asked him to assist in the hunt for Byrch Dyshkava. Vapps resigned his membership in the Sailors' Union to join Liddell, and quickly became one of Liddell's most trusted lieutenants. Many beings in Bartyn's Landing regarded Vapps as the consummate frontier lawman: the wily, grizzled old veteran who spent as much of his free time working on his swoop as he spent in Miss Mylla's Saloon. In fact, Vapps was well-known around the Cargo Track as an excellent swoop racer, despite the fact that racing put him in a dangerous position. (GMR7)

Varactyl
this species of four-legged, herbivorous reptiles was native to the planet Utapau. Distinguished by its low body and heavily-clawed feet, the cold-blooded varactyl could climb the sheer walls of the sinkholes that dominated the surface of Utapau, but only after sunning itself to sufficiently warm up its body temperature. On open ground, a varactyl was a fast-moving creature, which made them an excellent choice as mounts for the Utapaun military. Xenoarchaeologists believed that varactyls were first tamed by the Utai, which managed to capture them at night when they were sluggish. A crest of feather-like plates ran down the skull of both male and female varactyls, extending the length of the body along the spine and covering the dorsal and ventral sides of the tail. Although both sexes exhibit an array of colors among these feathers, the female usually had the brighter colors. Mixed into the plates along the tail were sharp spines that could be used for defense against other predators, and a bony mace that could be used as a weapon capped the tail. A mid-body ridge of spines was connected with skin to form a kind of fin, which was used during mating displays. The scaly skin of the varactyl was waterproof, allowing the varactyl to swim whenever necessary. The wide, splayed feet of a varactyl were studded with five clawed toes, giving the varactyl excellent stability and traction. The average varactyl measured four meters tall at the shoulder and more than fifteen meters in length, with the tail accounting for up to two-thirds of the overall length. Despite their size, varactyls were common prey for the avian dactillions, which raided varactyl nests and consumed varactyl eggs and hatchlings. (SWGAL, VD3, E3N, SWDB)

this Gree master is credited with the creation of the Varat'k Snarap device. (SWJ8)

Varat'k Snarap
this weapon, created by the Gree Varat'k, is used to protect the vast starship known as the Rokak'k Baran.
