Iron Hand
this was an affectionate nickname earned by Ilena Xan, one of the few Jedi Masters who remained on Coruscant during the height of the Clone Wars. A skilled melee fighter known for her knowledge of joint locks and holds, Master Xan accepted the nickname as a title of respect. (YDR)

Iron Hand
this was one of the many Strike-class cruisers that made up the front lines of the Imperial Naval fleet. (XVT)

Iron Knights
according to urban legends, the Iron Knights were a collection of droid warriors and philosophers that had somehow acquired the ability to tap into The Force, depsite the fact that droids were not considered "alive" in the organic sense. Among the most famous of the Iron Knights was the droid R5-D4, which was also known as Skippy. In reality, the Iron Knights were a group of Shards who followed Ilum away from their homeworld of Orax during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. At the time, many Shards were being installed in common droids, to give the simple automata a measure of intelligence. Ilum wanted something more, and set out to install herself in a Juggernaut War Droid. Ilum and her followers eventually met Jedi Master Aqinos, who agreed to train them on Dweem. Aqinos had set out on his own to pursue the possibility of melding droid intelligence with the Force, and had sought out Ilum specifically because her droid form. Aqinos trained the Shards in the ways of the Jedi Order, and the intelligence automatons soon acquired the ability to tap into the Force. When the Clone Wars broke out, Aqinos and Ilum decided to add their considerable forces to the ranks of the Jedi Knights, and they were instrumental in winning several key battles. However, Aqinos was later excommunicated from the Jedi Order to setting out on his own and creating the Iron Knights, and Ilum and the surviving Iron Knights returned in shame to Dweem. Their skills with the Force were not forgotten, however, as the Iron Knights were among the first Jedi to be destroyed during the Jedi Purge. Those that survived went into deep hiding, and only returned during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The Iron Knights, who went by the monicker of the High Marshalls, were instrumental in defeating the Red Knights of Life, although it was known that at least one of the Iron Knights fell to the Dark Side of the Force during the battle for Hosk Station. (OWS)

Iron Planet
this was the name given to a large asteroid located in the Tatoo System. It was named for the fact that it seemed to be formed from a greater concentration of heavt materials than neighboring asteroids, and the inhabitants of the planet Tatooine hoped that mining the Iron Planet would help with the acquisition of natural resources that were lacking on the planet. (SWGAL)

Iron Tether
this starship was part of the Old Republic's Space Rescue Corps, during the years leading up the onset of the Clone Wars. It was attacked while traveling near the Lahara Sector's Cowl Crucible, by several snubfighters and a Corellian-made freighter which were believed to have been dispatched by Separatist forces. In order to survive, the captain of the Iron Tether took the ship into the radiation-laden Cowl Crucible, but the crew sustained little injury and was later rescued by a Jedi Knight team led by Darrin Arkanian. (HNN5)

Iron Tower
located on the planet Aridus, this huge structure was built by the Empire to overcome the intense interference generated by the planet's magnetic fluctuations. However, the intense frequency used by the Tower to overcome the interference caused massive neurological damage to the native Chubbits. When Darth Vader tried to capture Luke Skywalker on the planet by having an actor pose as Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Iron Tower was partially destroyed when Luke escaped from the trap. (CSW)

Ironclaw
this brown-furred Kentra was a brave warrior among his people. He was extremely proud of the fact that he was one of only a handful of Kentra who had visited all seven of the major cities established by the Kentra. (SWJ2)

Ironhand
this Imperial Star Destroyer, under the command of Captain Argona, was one of only thirteen that remained in the Imperial Navy some ten years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. It was later assigned to accompany the Tyrannic and Obliterator to Bothawui, where the three ships were cloaked from sensors and hidden among the comets that pass through the system. Once the battle was joined, Han Solo managed to get many of the Bothan clans to supply warships from their personal fleets. The three Star Destroyers were forced to retreat to Bastion or be slowly picked apart by the New Republic. Captain Nalgol gave the order to retreat, ending the blockade and bringing to a close the Caamas Incident. (SOP, VOF)

Ironhand
this Trenchant-class cruiser was the personal ship of High Inquisitor Mox Slosin, during the height of the New Order. (AIR)

Ironwall
this is one of the seven major Kentran cities on Orellon II, and was ruled by Lord Mogotah. (SWJ2)

Ironwithe
this plant was native to the planet Bogden, and was known for its hard branches. The branches were compared to durasteel in strength, although its shoots are tender enough for the giant renda bear to eat. Many of these plants were exported to the Core Worlds for planting in rooftop gardens. However, on Bogden, the ironwithe died off every decade or so, and this seemed to affect offworld plants as well. Many scientists theorized that the ironwithe had a "quantum entanglement reaction" in its DNA, causing all ironwithe to die off, no matter where they were in the galaxy. (MJH)

Ironwood
a tight-grained wood. (SOL)

Irra Jeea
this Aramandi was a member of the Mila akia, and was a supporter of the Alliance. After the Empire began taking control of Brak Sector, Irra Jeea worked to bring the Mila into the Alliance in order to combat the Imperial forces which were overrunning the sector. (FBS)

Irradiation Box
this form of containment unit was used by starship captains to ensure that equipment used on strange planets didn't bring back unusual organisms. The irradiation box produced a series of broadband radiation and ultrasonic fields to kill off harmful bacteria and viruses which may have attached themselves to the equipment. They were smaller, portable versions of irradiators. (PSG)

Irradiator
any device which emits certain forms of energy to kill certain viruses and organisms. They are often employed at spaceports, to make sure cargo is clean. (HSL)

Irradiator
this was a form of lighting device used aboard a starship. While it appeared that the irradiator was simply an interior light source, it also doubled as a life-support device, emitting energy that killed most airborne bacteria, viruses, or other dangerous microbes. (NEGW)

Irrational Number
this bar was owned by a group of Bith. It was located in Jugsmuk Station, on Gamorr, and was run by a Bith known only as Numbers. (SWJ14)

Irregulars
this loose affiliation pirate and mercenary groups was extremely pro-Alliance in their stance during the Galactic Civil War. The groups which made up the Irregulars were scattered across the galaxy, and harried the Empire's supply convoys in order to help the Alliance. (SWCP)

Irrukiine
these huge, four-armed humanoids were native to the planet Malrev. The only true species with any sort of intelligence on the planet, the Malrev were normally vicious hunters. They are covered with a pelt short, brown fur, and their panther-like faces are split by a mouth full of sharp team. The mad Devaronian Cartariun used the Dark Side of the Force to control the Irrukiine, then put them through a series of wargames by controlling them with just his Sith magic. In this way, he learned how to use them as a weapon, arming them with Imperial blasters for ground assaults while using them to fly TIE Fighters in aerial combat. (XWRR)

Irrv
an Imperial General who commanded Maximillian Veers when he was a lieutenant. Irrv was sent to Culroon III to subjugate the simple people living there, and nearly failed in this duty when the Culroon launched a surprise attack during an official ceremony. The battle was turned the Empire's way when then-Lieutenant Veers disobeyed Irrv's direct order to remain confined to the base and attacked the Culroon with AT-ATs. Irrv was irate with Veers, but never got a chance to court-marshall him, as this commanding officer, Commander Grath, executed him on the spot for not seeing the Culroon charade. Grath then promoted Veers to Major. (SWSB)

Irrv, Dimone
this woman served as TaggeCo's Executive Vice-President of Operations on the planet Goroth Prime, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. An extremely competent leader who earned her position rather than backstabbing her way to it, Irrv was a young woman who always managed to get what she wanted through sheer determination. This allowed her to get the jump on the other corporate leaders on Goroth Prime, thereby earning her additional revenues from mining operations. (GSE)

Irstat
this was the word used to describe the individual tribes of the Tarasin people, each of which contained an average of fifty individuals. (LFC)

Irstat-Kes
this was the title given to the second-eldest female of each tribal group. The term meant "tribal leader," although the female Irstat-Kes was not a matriarch. She was simply the leader of the tribe while the males were out hunting for food. If she lived long enough, the Irstat-Kes would become the oldest female in the tribe, and would become the tribe's wise woman - known as the Mother - after being succeeded by a younger female. The position of irstat-kes was not something a female Tarasin aspired to; instead, it was the will of the irstat which female became its leader. (LFC, WOTC)

Irt
this was a common name given to male Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)

Irugian Rainforest
this dense forest area is found on the planet Abbaji. It is the home of the hundred-meter-tall firethorn trees. (SE)

Irys

I-s4d
this was the designation of Sienar Fleet System's advanced solar ionization reactors, first used on the TIE Defender. (SWDB)

Isamu
this moon, located in the Birjis System, was known for its unusual mu trees. Each night, every pair of trees on the moon made love. (SWJ15)

Isard, Armand
this man was the head of the Empire's Intelligence organization for many years, having rising through the ranks with the Old Republic's Office of Analysis and the Senate Bureau of Intelligence. Many who met him remarked on the somewhat inhuman gaze he had. Armand was known to a great deal of people for his ability to ferret out and destroy a cell of Alliance supporters, whether they actually supported the Alliance or not. He was one of the first Imperial officers alerted to the theft of the plans to the first Death Star, and dispatched his daughter, Ysanne, to Darkknell to retrieve them. Note that the Star Wars Databank claims that Ysanne was dispatched toDespayre to recover the plans. His hope was that she would be killed in the attempt, removing any possible threat to his position. Unfortunately, Ysanne survived the mission, but failed to recover the datacards containing the plans. She also figured out why Armand sent her, and was so angry that she implicated Armand in the original theft. She also implicated Armand in the bombing of the Treitamma Political Center, claiming that he did it to kill Arrianya Bel Iblis so that Garm Bel Iblis would be free to join the Alliance. Ysanne then called in Imperial Security, and had Armand arrested and executed for treason. (SOC, TFNR, SWDB, SWI65)

Isard, Ysanne
a native of Coruscant, Ysanne was born to Imperial service. She was the daughter of Emperor Palpatine's last Internal Security Director. She later betrayed her father to Palpatine, claiming that he was going to defect to the Alliance. Palpatine had her father executed - some say she was the person who shot him - and promoted her to his vacate position. She was later promoted to Director of Imperial Intelligence, and held the Empire together during the years following Palpatine's death at Endor. She felt that Sate Pestage was incapable of holding the Empire together, and began manipulating bureaucrats and military leaders - much as Palpatine had - in an effort to turn them against Pestage. In the end, she was responsible for Pestage's outser from the Empire. Among certain members of the New Republic and the Imperial remnants, she was known as Iceheart. She was characterized by long, black hair, but what made her an imposing force was her eyes. One eye was a cold, ice-blue; the other was deep red with flame-like, golden highlights. She was also responsible for the hiding of the Super-class Star Destroyer Lusankya in an unused facility under Imperial City on Coruscant, from which she tortured and interrogated her prisoners in the infamous Lusankya prison facility. From the Lusankya, she could monitor the happenings on Coruscant without notice. She employed Kirtan Loor as a her agent, creating the Krytos virus and keeping him on Coruscant as the leader of the Palpatine Counterinsurgency Force. Once the New Republic defeated the Krytos virus and fully liberated Coruscant, she took the Lusankya and fled to Thyferra, where she took control of the planet's government. Once she entrenched herself on Thyferra, she ousted the Zaltin corporation and planned to execute 1,000 Vratix a day until she had "downsized" bacta production or Rogue Squadron surrendered to her. If either didn't happen in 30 days, she upped the number of Vratix executed to 2,000 per day. Erisi Dlarit suggested that the plan be implemented as a way to stop Ashern terrorism. In the meantime, Isard activated a specially-made clone of herself, created just before she lost Thyferra, and allowed it to use her own contacts and resources to hide the prisoners formerly hidden on the Lusankya. Once the clone returned to Thyferra, Isard had it executed. Isard continued to hold the upper hand over the Rogues until she lost the Avarice to defection and the Virulence was captured at Yag'Dhul. Left with just the Lusankya, Isard tried to make a stand at the Battle of Thyferra. However, that battle never turned in her favor, and she fled the planet on Fliry Vorru's personal shuttle, Thyfonian. The shuttle was intercepted by Corran Horn and Tycho Celchu, whose combined attack destroyed its shields and eradicated the craft with a proton torpedo. Isard was believed to have been killed in the explosion, but in fact she wasn't on the shuttle at all. Her communications had been from a remote sight, and she smuggled herself off-planet disguised as a refugee and went into hiding to recover from her losses. She made her way to General Arnothian's facility and took control of his TIE Defender operation. Meanwhile, the clone Isard thought she had killed had allied itself with Prince-Admiral Krennel, and worked with him to bring down Rogue Squadron and the New Republic by trying to re-open the division between human and non-human races. The clone also kept a close watch on the prisoners of the Lusankya, collecting them all while Grand Admiral Thrawn ruled the Empire and eventually using them as bait for a trap meant to catch Rogue Squadron. Their plans were thwarted by the real Ysanne Isard, who rescued Rogue Squadron from Corvis Minor Five with the help of Colonel Vessery and convinced them to help her destroy the clone and Krennel. While Krennel was killed in the space battle over Ciutric, Isard's clone tried to escape using the same tactic that the real Isard used to escape from Thyferra. However, Wedge Antilles recognized the scheme and destroyed the shuttle - piloted by Colonel Lorrir - while triangulating the clone's position by backtracking her communcations signal. He launched a pair of concussion missiles at her location, destroying it and the clone. The real Isard claimed to want nothing but peace, but really wanted to regain command of the Lusankya, which was being refitted at the Bilbringi shipyards. However, her motives were discovered by Booster Terrik, his daughter Mirax, and Iella Wessiri, and a New Republic task force was dispatched to prevent her from stealing it. In a struggle within the huge ship, Ysanne and Iella confronted each other. After Isard threw every taunt and tactic at Iella, Iella responded by shooting her dead, once and for all.

The planet's atmosphere is almost continually wracked by electrical storms, which cause unpredictable reactions within the volatile gases the fill its upper levels. (SWJ8)

ISD-72x
this deflector shield generator dome was developed by Kuat Drive Yards, in an effort to reduce the need for secondary equipment on its Imperial-class Star Destroyers. The ISD-72x was designed to replace the Om-Thaim generators used on early versions of the Star Destroyer, and was virtually indistinguishable from the Om-Thaim model. A larger version of the ISD-72x was developed for use aboard the Super-class Star Destroyers. (EGW)

Isde Naha
this planet was located on the rimward edge of the Yarith Sector of the galaxy, where the Corellian Trade Spine exited the Anoat Sector for the far reaches of the Outer Rim Territories.

This bounty was claimed by Jango Fett, when he traveled to Malastare to obtain an audience with Sebolto. (BH)

Isela Talsava Norand
this Fallanassi female was Akanah's mother. Isela was one of the Councilwomen who collectively rejected Tagge's offer of subservience to the Empire. Isela met Joreb Goss while she was on Praidaw, and they eventually got married and moved to Gavens. Goss left Isela and fled to Atzerri, hoping to make enough money to return to his family and give them the style of life they deserved. He never returned, and Isela and Akanah moved to Lucazec. Akanah believed that Isela died on Lucazec. Upon being reunited with Wailu on J't'p'tan, Akanah discovered that it was Talsava who brought the Empire down on the Fallanassi. Talsava was exiled, and brought Akanah with her to Carratos despite Wailu's offer to bring Akanah up in the Fallanassi circle. (BTS, SOL, TT)

Isen
this gas giant is the only planet in the Isen System. It has six natural satellites, of which one - Isen IV - is inhabitted. The system is still in its birth stage, and the primary star Isen continues to give off large amounts of radiation. This, coupled with the system's three asteroid belts, makes navigation through the Isen System extremely difficult. (PG1)

Isen
this yellow star was the central body of the Isen System. (PG1)

Isen IV
this airless, rocky planetoid was the fourth of six moons orbiting the gas giant Isen. A small pirate base has been established on its bleak surface by the Void Demons, and the underground tunnels were inhabited by a colony of Morvaks. The planetoid makes a full revolution around its sun once every 740 standard days. (PG1)

Ishanna I
this is the first planet in the Ishanna System. It is a barren, searing ball of rock with two moons. (SWJ9)

Ishanna II
this is the second planet in the Ishanna System. A barren world with no natural atmosphere, Ishanna II is important for its mineral deposits, which are mined by various independent companies. It has three moons. (SWJ9)

this planet, the fifth in the Ishanna System, is an uninhabitable world with five natural satellites. Its mineral resources have been mined by various independent corporations located on Rabaan. (SWJ9)

Ishenn
this Gamorrean was employed by Thaddeus Ross to serve as the liaison to a group of Elomin, to whom Ross and Trep Winterrs had tried to sell protection services. (SWJ15)

Ishi Tib
an amphibious, humanoid alien race characterized by their huge eyes and beak-like mouths, the Ishi Tib are native to the planet Tibrin. They inhabit Tibrin's oceans, and spend most of their lives under the water. Their thick, green skin helps retain moisture, so they are fairly adaptable in other environments. However, an Ishi Tib who lives away from the water must return to a briny seawater bath every thirty hours or so in order to maintain their skin's moisture levels and to keep their lungs moist. The Ishi Tib race is descended from a species of bony fish which had large, fluke-like fins which were highly developed. They escaped predation by leaving the ocean and staying on land for short periods of time, and natural selection allowed the development of arms, legs, and lungs. They have builts cities upon the coral reefs of Tibrin's oceans, taking great care so they don't disrupt the delicate environmental balances. As a species, they were highly sought after as efficient organizers. (GG4, CCG7)

Ishi Tib
the name of one of Jabba the Hutt's henchman who was of the Ishi Tib race. (ROTJ)

Ishi Tib Coral Scepter
created by the Ishi Tib race of the planet Tibrin, and exported to the rest of the galaxy by Tirbin Kish'nol, this staff resembled an ornate scepter at first glance. When activated, the scepter emitted a high-power jet of water in which were propelled razor-sharp coral pellets. The pellets themselves were coated with adhesive that helped them lodge inside a target, creating further physical trauma. The Ishi Tib used these scepters to hunt their prey. (GFT)

I'Shibix, Quarlo
this swarthy human served Mon Tondievz as the mine supervisor of the nova crystal mines on Krann. He worked with an all-Kluuzot mining crew, a work environment he claimed to have devised all by himself. He supposedly defected from Imperial service after the Battle of Endor, severing the nova crystal supply lines and turning them over to the New Republic. In fact, Quarlo was working with Vanel to make sure the Empire was able to enslave the Kluuzot and retake the nova crystal mines. On the side, Quarlo and his mining crew were also involved in the illegal trafficking of the deadly spice eldratz. Quarlo was using a portion of the eldratz to addict the Kluuzot, offering to suuply their fixes only if they worked in the mines. He was apprehended by New Republic agent s, but could not be brought to justice before the Kluuzot took him away. His fate is unknown. (TSK)

Ish'ka
this was a Yuuzhan Vong swear word, used to indicate one's displeasure with a situation. (FH3)

Ishkik Caverns
located on the planet Cularin, this maze of underground caves and tunnels was discovered by a work team that was building a platform city in a great valley. The caverns extended for several kilometers beneath the planet's surface, and connected the valley with mountains some distance away. The caverns, while interesting, were left largely unexplored until the Tarasin Revolt, when the Tarasin decided to use the caverns as living areas. Three full irstats made their homes in the caverns, storing weapons in hidden caves to help the struggle against the humans. (LFC)

Ishori
this race of sentients is native to the planet Isht, which was part of the New Republic. Shortly before the revelation of the Bothan involvement in the destruction of Caamas, the Ishori were involved in a minor dispute with the Diamala over shipping security. The Diamals didn't trust the Ishori patrols that escorted their transports into Ishori ports, while the Ishoru didn't want armed Diamala ships in their systems. Han Solo and Luke Skywalker tried to mediate the dispute, but were unable to bring about a solution before the two races polarized their hatred around the Caamas Incident. As a race, the Ishori are very excitable, and tend get agitated when confronted. They also have a martial society, with many of their laws based on the tenets of battle. (SOP, VOF)

Isht
this planet is the homeworld of the Ishori race. (VOF)

Ish'tay
this Force-sensitive Ithorian spent much of his career on the planet Caamas, working to restore the planet's natural environment. He discovered the presence of an ancient Ithorian herdship, which had crashed into Caamas many generations before, and investigated the possibility that his own people might have created the original forests of the planet. (WOTC, CCW)

Isilia
this freighter was owned an operated by Adriav Kavos. Kavos was forced to land the ship on the planet Joralla, during an attempt to sell a datadisk containing secret information on the Alliance. It was armed with a pair of laser cannons, and could transport up to four passengers and 100 metric tons of cargo. (PG1)

Isiring
this ore-rich mining world was located among the Cassandran Worlds, in the Outer Rim Territories. After the Empire split the Cassandran Worlds apart, Isiring became the capital world of the Tendrannan Sector. (GORW)

Isis
this crystalline planet was located in a moderately dense region of the Ivax Nebula, found in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy. Isis was the site of an Alliance starfighter construction facility during the Galactic Civil War. The planet was the homeworld of the Gutretee, a race of crystalline humanoids. It was located beyond the fringe of Imperial space, and was first explored by an Alderaanian scouting expedition. Bail Organa kept the planet's location a secret, fearing that Palpatine's growing wrath against Old Republic supporters would require desparate measures. When his fears were realized, Organa began hiding the families of prominent Republic supporters on Isis. The newcomers with met with gruff acceptance by most Gutretee, and a cooperation between them grew into the starfighter facility. The planet itself is a huge world, covered with translucent mountains and refractive spires. It was nearly discovered by Imperial forces when the crew of the Imperial survey vessel Wanderer crashed on the planet. They tried to escape back to the Imperial base on Miser by hijacking the Handree, but were intercepted by Alliance agents. (RASB, IC, WOA33)

Isis
this female Imperial Governor wanted Boba Fett to capture Feldrall Okor. When she balked at his price for capturing the pirate, Boba Fett armed a thermal detonator and threatened to blow up her palace if she didn't comply. She eventually gave in, and paid Fett's price. (EGC)

Isk
this ninth Aurebesh symbol, and it stood for the Basic letter "i". (IR, SWM)

Iskaayuma
this city was located at the end of the Sika Peninsula, on the planet Rodia. Iskaayuma was considered the capital of the planet at the height of the Galactic Civil War, primarily because it was the enclave of the ruling Chattza clan. It was second in size only to Equator city, but was poorly designed and failed to provide anything in the way of growth potential. (SPG)

Iskadrell
this is the primary planet in the Iskallon System, and the homeworld of the Iskalloni race. (TSK)

Iskalloni
little was known of this alien race, which hails from the Iskallon System. What was known was that they were a humanoid race that implanted cybernetic devices to assist their strange physiology. These implants, however, were not perfect, and produced a toxic waste that was deadly to most carbon-based lifeforms. This toxic waste was also found in their heavy machinery, including starships and hyperdrives, which cleaning an Iskalloni hyperdrive a perilous duty. Most Iskalloni had hairless, blue-tinted skin, a coloration that resulted from the addition of mutagen to their system. The mutagen allowed the Iskalloni to accept the bio-technical implants and survive. Their eyes were deeply recessed in their skulls, and had dark, black irises. The Iskalloni remained apart from the rest of the galaxy for several millennia, after several attempts to establish peaceful relations fell through. During the height of the New Order, the Iskalloni returned to known space, and made contact with Imperial agents. While the Empire thought it had gained a valuable ally, the Iskalloni showed no preference in enslaving humans, taking the Imperial agents as well as Alliance personnel in their initial attacks. The Iskalloni sought to enslave the entire human race, but couldn't determine the best place to begin their assault. Eventually, with the help of Wertram Farege, they captured a New Republic starship with the planetary coordinates of several major worlds, and launched their assault. However, the crew of the starship was able to disable the Iskalloni ship and strand the aliens in theirown galaxy. (TSK, GG12)

Iskalon
this planet was the homeworld of a race of water-breathing humanoids known as Iskalonians. The planet itself had no natural land formations. When the Iskalonians joined the Alliance, they erected great cities on the ocean floor. These cities were named for the city of Pavillion, the first and largest of the cities, and were built to allow the air-breathing races of the Alliance to live with the Iskalonians. However, after the Imperial base on Gamandar destroyed the city of pavillion, the Iskalonians forbade any landing by air-breathing races. This mandate was not recognized by the Nagai, however, who tried to subjugate Iskalon shortly after the Battle of Endor. (MC74, MC102)

Iskalon Effect
this was the term used by the Iskalonians to describe the massive tidal waves that crashed through the oceans of Iskalon. Because of the biology and structure of the ocean, these tidal waves formed rapidly and grew to massive proportions. (MC74)

Iskalonian
a race of water-breathing humanoids native to the planet Iskalon, these creatures have gills for breathing, large pointed ears, and small tendrils that flow from the corners of their mouths. They were known for their carefree, peaceful outlook on life, and they lacked any concept of privacy or shyness. It was assumed that an individual would only listen into another conversation if they had an interest in it, but any individual could join a discussion at any time. During the period following the Battle of Hoth, the Iskalonians were active members of the Alliance, having witnessed the Imperial atrocities on Telfrey and Gamandar. However, when Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa arrived on the planet, their presence attracted the notice of Imperial Admiral Tower. In his desire to earn a promotion and fame, he tried to destroy all life on Iskalon in an effort to kill the Alliance leaders. The entire city of Pavillion was destroyed, and a great number of Iskalonians lost their lives in the massive tidal wave created by Tower's missile. Although the Iskalonians agreed with the Alliance's motivations, the survivors decided to go into hiding and forbade the Alliance from returning to Iskalon. (MC74, MC76)

Iskalonian
although many considered the Iskalonians a single race with unique sub-species, the name Iskalonian actually referred to an alliance of intelligent, aquatic races that included several distinct races, each of which inhabited a different planet. There were six major aquatic species - the rare Stribers of Julsujod III, the Inleshat of Drexel II, the Chuhkyvi of Aquaris, the Frid of Mackar, the Graygl of Danalbeth, and the Nejma of Eriscot - as well as eleven other, less-known species. The Inleshat were the most dominant of the Iskalonians, who called their collective alliance The School, although all peoples united as Iskalonians vowed to live in harmony with others and with nature.

Isken, Bran
this man was a native of the planet Corellia, but was born on a starship to a father who worked as a smuggler. He grew up working with the ship's systems, and could repair them all at an early age. He eventually found work as a mechanic, and was introduced to Klis Joo when he was asked to repair a Duros starship. The Jedi Knight remembered his skills with starships, and invited him to come to work at the spaceport facility on Almas. Bran agreed, and became one of the best mechanics in Forard. He was a distinguished man of 60 at the time of the Battle of Naboo, and was distinguished by his cybernetic eye. (LFC)

Iskra
this was one of the many Bothan clans. Affiliation with the clan was indicated by the suffix 'skra added to an individual's family name. (GCG, WOTC)

Island Beast
this was a species of huge, kilometer-long creature native to the planet Taloraan. The island beast floats in the planet's atmosphere. It has a huge body cavity which is inhabitable, and they are used by the Wind Raiders as living quarters. (SWJ5)

Ism Oolos
this Ho-Din physician worked for the New Republic at the medical facility in Bagsho, on the planet Nim Drovis. It was Ism Oolos that treated the victims of the Corbantis crash, rescued from Damonite Yors B by Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, and Chewbacca. According to Planet of Twilight, Ism Oolos is twenty-five meters tall! Oolos later worked with Mara Jade, in an effort to determine what disease was making her ill during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Like most other scientists, Doctor Oolos was unable to find the source of the disease. (POT, HT)

Ismaren, Irek
Roganda Ismaren's son by Sarcev Quest, Irek's youthful abilities with the Force were augmented by his mother when she had Nasdra Magrody implant an AI chip in his brain. This chip allowed Irek to become educated quicker, both from a practical standpoint as well as with the Force. The subelectronic converter chip was placed in his brain at the age of 5. By age 7, he began formal training in the Force. At 13, he could easily qualify for an advanced degree in a number of physical sciences, if he so chose. However, he had been brought up this way for one purpose: to recover the derelict Eye of Palpatine. Roganda realized, from her association with Palpatine, that only a mind capable of interfacing the Force with the ship would be able to reactivate it. So, she chose her own son to be the instrument of her success. She hoped that his ability to control mechanical things with the Force would allow him to call the Eye to Belsavis and control it. Irek's weakness, though, was that he could only control objects if he knew their basic schematics, which he committed to memory. If the schematics were to change, even fundamentally, he couldn't manipulate an object. When the Eye of Palpatine was destroyed, Irek managed to escape with his mother, and was not seen again. In his weakend state, Irek was unable to resist when his mother brought him to Coruscant. There, she began altering his body and mind, creating a huge, Force-wielding humunculous. His bones and muscles were forced to continue growing long past the point of maturity, giving him incredible height and mass. The AI implant placed in his brain was further enhanced, allowing him to have a deep-seated inner focus that provided a strong connection to the Dark Side of the Force. A collection of lightsabers were implanted in his body - at the wrists, knees, and shoulders - and hardwired into the implant for greater control. His weapons training was handled by an unknown Dark Jedi hired by Roganda. At some point in the training, Irek became angry with the Dark Jedi and killed him in a duel, but not before the taking a lightsaber thrust through the brain. Roganda was forced to begin a second series of transformations, this time to try and restore Irek's mind retrieve him from brain death. Before the entire transformation was complete, however, Irek broke free. Without memories or a basic understanding of what had happened to him, Irek killed his mother and fled into the depths of Coruscant's undercity. (COJ, GMR5, DSSB, EL2)

Ismaren, Lagan
one of Nichos Marr's childhood friends, they tried to find the kretch in Plett's Well. He was Roganda's brother, and was killed by Imperial Inquisitor Ameesa Darys as Roganda was forced to watch. (COJ, GMR5)

Ismaren, Roganda
one of Emperor Palpatine's concubines and a member of the secret society known as the Emperor's Hands, Roganda Ismaren used her feminine wiles to extract information from the Emperor's enemies. As a child, she was uprooted from her hiding place on Belsavis by Imperial Inquisitor Ameesa Darys, then forced to watch as Darys killed her brother Lagan. Roganda vowed accumulate enough personal power to prevent her own death, and learned to use her femininity to attain more power. Leia Organa Solo once saw her during her first Senatorial meeting. Later, on Belsavis, Leia caught up with her in Plawal. She is somewhat Force-sensitive, and was one of the children in Plett's Well. Her Force-sensitivity earned her a place as one of Palpatine's Emperor's Hands, much like Mara Jade. Roganda told Leia that she had been hiding on Belsavis for seven years, fleeing the anti-Palpatine sentiments sweeping the galaxy. Leia recognized her pale, white skin and dark hair. All the while, though, Roganda was hiding the plot to recover the Eye of Palpatine by having her son, Irek, implanted with a Force-augmenting AI chip developed by Nasdra Magrody. Roganda's real reason for being on Belsavis was to hide her son's training from prying eyes. Roganda used her Imperial contacts for funding, and assembled them on Belsavis, where the Eye of Palpatine was programmed to attack first. She then trained Irek in the schematics and operational procedures necessary to take control of the Eye of Palpatine, in hopes of using the ship to retake the galaxy from the New Republic. Unfortunately, she hadn't planned on Luke Skywalker infiltrating the huge ship and reviving the spirit of Callista Ming, who helped Luke destroy the ship from within. Roganda and Irek managed to escape the destruction, and she fled back to Coruscant. There, in a research lab established in the Bluenek Section of the city, Roganda began an aggressive experiment that altered Irek's body and mind. Hoping to defeat the New Republic once and for all, Roganda hoped to create a Force-wielding humunculous from Irek's youthful body. She kept the boy hidden in the labs, using techniques which accelerated his growth and deepened his connection to the Dark Side of the Force. She located a fellow Dark Jedi to help train Irek, and used captive ysalamiri to hide the incredible amounts of Force energy being generated in the lab, in an effort to avoid detection by the New Republic. Unfortunately for Roganda, Irek became self-aware of his new state and broke free of the bonds which help him. The final stages of Roganda's alterations were not complete, leaving Irek without memories or instructions, just a deep-seated command of the Dark Side. In a rage, Irek destroyed much of the laboratory and killed Roganda before fleeing unto the undercity fo Coruscant. (COJ, GMR5, EL2)

Isnr
this was a pretty flower which was native to the planet Cerea. (GCG)

Isnr
this was a common name among Cerean females. Unlike their male counterparts, Cerean females use a single name unless they became a bond-wife. In this case, a female will take on their husband's grandfather's name for official matters. The name Isnr came from a class of brightly-colored birds which were native to the planet Cerea. (GCG)

ISO

Isoh Rykken
this name was attributed to a known Shi'ido individual, but it remained unclear whether or not it was the Shi'ido's given name. (UANT)

Isolationist Wookiees
this was the name given to those Wookiees who chose to abandon their cities and live in compounds hidden in the jungles of the homeworld of Kashyyyk, after the Empire took control of the planet and turned over much of its policing to Trandoshan slavers. These Wookiees considered almost any offworlder to be a supporter of either the Empire or the Trandoshans - or worse, both - and were quick to judge. (SWGAL)

Isolde
this purple-haired woman was a known criminal who was recruited by Lando Calrissian to assist in stopping a group of pirates who were using TIE Interceptors to ambush supply convoys. She objected to Lando's use of Air Marshall Von Asch's expertise in the mission, but went along with his judgment. Note that Isolde is also referred to as Siro in Star Wars Tales #5. After engaging the pirates on Radix, the New Republic forces learned that they had been duped by Captain Kine. In the firefight that ensued, Von Asch took a killing shot from Kine which was meant for Isolde, allowing Isolde to shoot Kine dead. With his dying words, Von Asch explained that he had to die in order for Isolde to live and fulfill her destiny. Isolde managed to keep Von Asch alive long enough for medical help to arrive, and Von Asch eventually survived. (T5)

Isolder
the younger son of the Hapan Queen Mother, Isolder held the title of Chume'da (which roughly translates to "Prince") at the time when Leia Organa petitioned the Hapans for assistance in defeating Warlord Zsinj. He had been named Chume'da because his older brother, Kalen, was murdered by a privateer named Harravan. It was later revealed that Kalen had been assassinated by their mother, Ta'a Chume, in an effort to remove him from the line of succession. The blonde-haired Isolder caught a glimpse of Princess Leia Organa when she arrived on Hapes to form an alliance with the Hapans, and fell in love with her. He proposed to his mother that a marriage to her would help the Hapans prosper, and Ta'a Chume pretended to agree. When a Hapan delegation arrived on Coruscant to discuss an alliance with the New Republic, they presented Leia with sixty-three gifts, one from each of the worlds in the Hapes Cluster. The sixty-third gift was Prince Isolder, who had arranged to go to Coruscant, where he proposed marriage. Leia stalled the marriage, and was given more time to decide when Han Solo won Dathomir in a sabacc match. Han kidnapped Leia and took her to Dathomir, and Isolder and Luke Skywalker followed to rescue her. While on Dathomir, Isolder met Teneniel Djo and realized that he loved her more than Leia. He also learned of his mother's treacherous attempt to have Leia killed. In an effort to break the unsavory traditions he mother adhered to, Isolder took Teneniel as his bride. Luke Skywalker had foreseen that he and Teneniel would give birth to a daughter who was strong in the Force, a prophecy which was later fulfilled with the birth of Tenel Ka. When Ta'a Chume stepped down, Teneniel Djo became the Queen Mother of Hapes, and Isolder became her king. The Hapans remained outside galactic politics for several years, until the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Then, Leia Organa-Solo again traveled to the Hapes Cluster in hopes of convincing the Hapans to join the fight against the alien invaders. The Hapes Consortium was divided on whether to support the New Republic, until Isolder slapped Beed Thane for insulting Leia. This led to an unusual duel in which the winner would control the vote. Thane was arrogant, and Isolder was able to outlast him. The Hapes Cluster joined the New Republic in an effort to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong, and Isolder himself led the fleet from the Song of War. However, as the combined fleet made to defend Corellia, it was discovered that the Yuuzhan Vong were actually attacking Fondor. The fleet made emergency maneuvers to reach Fondor, but found the shipyards utterly destroyed. The Hapans and the New Republic forces opened fire on the Yuuzhan Vong armada, but all hostilities were ceased when a blast from Centerpoint Station ripped through the Fondor System. In addition to wiping out the Yuuzhan Vong, the blast decimated the Hapan fleet. Isolder and his crew aboard the Song of War were just outside the blast, and survived to limp back to the Hapes Cluster. Once home, Isolder discovered that Teneniel Djo had miscarried their second child, and that she had fallen into a deep despair. With the Hapan people clamoring for strong leadership, Isolder was forced to consider an unusual request from his mother: divorce Teneniel Djo and marry Jaina Solo. (CPL, CTD, JE, DJ, NEGC)

Ison
this white dwarf star was the central body in the Ison System, located in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy. The star was orbited by a series of asteroid belts that made travel through the system treacherous. Despite this, explorers placed a hyperspace beacon on the outskirts of the system, which served as the rimward entry point for the Ison Corridor. However, the rubble the choked the system was masked by a growing cloud of gas, and it was believed that this combination of natural occurrances would eventually shut down the Ison Corridor. (WOA33)

Ison Corridor
this hyperspace pathway connected a backwater group of planets in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy to the main Corellian Trade Spine. The Ison Corridor began at the planet Varonat and passing through Bespin, Anoat, and Hoth, before terminating in the Ison System. It took about fourteen hours to jump between each of these systems along the Corridor. It was located just off the Corellian Trade Spine, a much more profitable and understood hyperspace pathway which drew much of the Corridor's potential traffic. However, the Ison Corridor avoided the heart of the Ivax Nebula, making it marginally safer to travel. Scientists believed that the coalescing gases and debris in the Ison System would eventually shut off the rimward end of the Ison Corridor, rendering the travel route obsolete. Note that the Rebellion Era Sourcebook indicates that Anoat and Ison are the terminal systems along the Ison Corridor, and that Bespin is the midpoint. (DFR, GG2, SWJ1, RESB, WOA33, GORW)

Ison System
this planetary system was located at the opposite end of the Ison Corridor from the Bespin System. Much of the system was choked with asteroids, and the only sizeable body in the system was the white dwarf star at its center. (GG2, WOA33)

Isothane
this alcoholic beverage is often served with water and ice. (MA)

Isoto, Lon
this Imperial Admiral was regarded as a traitor for his part in the Battle of Brentaal. He was known to both the Empire he served the New Republic he opposed as an ineffectual leader, often called "Isoto the Indecisive" in closed quarters, but rose to power through the support of the members of the Cabal. Isoto was more interested in his pleasure than the Empire, and used his position to obtain the things he desired most. He was in command of the Imperial base near Vuultin at the time of Emperor Palpatine's death at Endor, and was allowed to remain in command of the base when Sate Pestage rose to power. Ysanne Isard and Pestage planned to draw the New Republic's forces to Brentaal IV, hoping to prove the Cabal was unable to control the moon, let alone the Empire. Meanwhile, Isoto languished in his fortress, surrounded by women and - if rumors were true - enjoying glitterstim spice. He was shot and killed by one of his concubines, shortly after being order by Ysanne Isard to evacuate Brentaal. The concubine was actually working for Isard as part of Project Ambition.
