this green-skinned being, distinguished by the cranial horn the grew from his head, was a noted bounty hunter who plied the blood trade during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Pilot was part of an unlikely group that was put together by Magus to hunt down Talesan Fry, after the young boy discovered their plans to assassinate twenty galactic leaders at a conference on Rondai-2. While on Rondai-2, the bounty hunters found themselves pursued by the Jedi team of Qui-Gon Jinn, Adi Gallia, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Siri Tachi. Pilot and Magus managed to secure Talesan and fled to the roof of the Ulta Center, hoping to reach an airspeeder and escape. However, Magus had plans of his own, and they involved survival at any cost. Just as the Jedi reached the speeder and tried to take Taly from Pilot, Magus gunned the engine of the speeder and took off. Both Pilot and Taly fell from the roof, although Taly was rescued by Siri Tachi. Pilot, unfortunately, fell to his death. (SOJ)

Pilotbrain
this was the name used by the Yuuzhan Vong to describe the organism which controlled the operation of one of their coralcraft. Each pilotbrain was linked telepathically to a specific pilot from its "birth", so that the Yuuzhan Vong's mental imprint was a form of key that would restrict access to the coralcraft's controls. The pilotbrain was linked to its pilot via a cognition hood, which relaying information almost simultaneously between pilotbrain and pilot. (T)

Pilot's Guild
this association of starpilots was established to create and uphold a set of laws that governed the use of outerspace as a travel medium. They oversaw most aspects of space travel, including education of new pilots, for which they produced a book from which new pilots learn the basics of space flight. After the institution of the New Order, the Pilot's Guild was disbanded by order of the Emperor himself. Those members who chose to defy Imperial mandate and continue the work of the Guild retreated to a deep-space nagivation station on the outskirts of the Endor System. (HSL, SWGAL)

once native to the planet Alderaan, the pilotta thranta was made extinct with the destruction of its homeworld. It was the second-largest of the four major subspecies of thranta, rivalled only by the great thranta. Its skin was black on the dorsal side of its body, and white on the underside. The nose of the pilotta was short and pointed, and the rudder-like tail had three lobes instead of the four found on the common and balana thrantas. The tail had two horizontal lobes, with the third lobe rising above them. Trained pilotta thrantas carried passenger transports hung from their bodies. (WSW)

These three worlds are the only habitable worlds in the League's domain. The Pimbrellan League was formed by the followers of Pinacism. (KO)

Pimin, Oolea
this woman worked as a research doctor for Amalgamated Health Systems, on their outpost on Kessel, during the final decades of the Old Republic. She was adamant that the glitterstim spice that was mined on Kessel had beneficial, medicinal uses, and resented the fact that smugglers regularly stole lots of the spice for use as a recreational drug. After she learned that several criminal organzations had been sending lots of raw glitterstim through her facility for processing, she began programming her droids to either steal it or destroy it before it reached its destination. (GORW)

Pin Money
a bounty hunters' term used to identify a small-time criminal who has engaged in illicit activities for many years, but only commands a small bounty. (GG9)

Pinacism
this belief was brought to the galactic forefront by the founders of the Pimbrellan League. Pinacists claim that those beings who sit back and watch the events of the galaxy unfold around them will eventually emerge to pick up the pieces and take control of the galaxy. The Pinacists were one of the few groups in the Kathol Outback who took an interest in what was happening outside the Marcol Void and the Kathol Rift, and arranged with a group on Gandle Ott to have a courier droid dispatched once a week with the latest news. The Pinacists believe that a great Event will take place, that will signal them to return to the galaxy and begin their work. Many believed that the Galactic Civil War was this Event, but most leaders believed it was just a minor blip. (KO)

Luke used a Jedi healing trance to knock Pinchers out, then pulled details on the cavrilhu base from his mind in order to make his entrance much simpler. (SOP)

Pinett
this moon, located in the Elrood Sector of the galaxy, was located near several prominent spice routes which connected the Mid and Outer Rim Territories. Two spaceports services all sorts of traffic to Pinett during the height of the Galactic Civil War. When two factions - the Jon-Tow Economic Development Group and the Corsignis Property Alliance - blockaded the moon in an effort to force each other out of business, the general population of Pinett were forced to exist with minimal food and medical resources. The efforts of the Pinett Freedom Force proved only slightly effective. (WOA25)

Pinett Freedom Force
this protest group, formed by Daetan Taakses, tried to force both the Corsignis Property Alliance and the Jon-Tow Economic Development Group to call off their blockades of the moon Pinett before they caused serious economic damage. Founded when Taakses staged a hunger strike and went to the media with it, the Pinett Freedom Force began marching on the landing fields of both Oscum and Beliarr, hoping to block the ships of either faction from landing. The work of the Pinett Freedom Force was instrumental in getting the two sides to sit down together and work out a plan to solve their problems, allowing the blockade to be dismantled and shipping to return to the moon's surface. (WOA25)

Pinnix, Blizz
this retired speederbike racer owned and operated The Pits, a bar and restaurant complex which catered to the swoop racers and gangs on the planet Stend VI. A veteran of over forty years of racing, Pinnix was an enigma because he always wore a full-face helmet, and no one had ever seen his face. He cast an imposing figure when he made his way through the bar, always dressed in impressive racing armor. In his wake follows speculation on his age, sex, and species, although most agree that Blizz was a male human. Whenever he raced the private swoop course on the grounds of The Pits, he rode his ebony swoop, the Black Raptor. (WSV, BSS)

Pinot, Ledd
this man was one of the prison guards known as the Helmet Squad, working at the Oovo IV prison facility during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Pinot was part of a large internal smuggling operation that ensured the inmates had all manner of articles that were otherwise prohibited at many prison facilities. Compounding this fact, Pinot was skimming profits from the smuggling operations, fueling his own illicit desires. This was discovered by several prisoners who were eventually released from Oovo IV, and related to several prominent Hutt crimelords. This led to a bounty being placed on Pinot's head, which Jango Fett claimed during his "rescue" of Bendix Fust. (BH)

Pip
this battled P2-series droid worked with Baffle to overthrow the Salliche Ag Corporation's ban on droids. Pip later helped Han Solo locate Droma, after the Ryn was arrested for conspiracy in the forging of documents used by Tall and Short. (JE)

PIP/2
this was the designation of a series of systems control droids produced by Genetech Corporation during the early years of the New Republic. The PIP/2 was developed to replace organic workers at control boards and computer monitoring stations. It was a spindly droid with telescopiing legs, allowing it to be adapted to fit in an number of configurations. Its small head contained a collection of visual sesnors and interface jacks, and its eight articulated arms were given a wide range of motion. Unfortunately for Genetech, the PIP/2 was a commercial failure. Promoted as virtually glitch-proof, the PIP/2 was discovered to be excellent at single-threaded tasks, but quickly ran out of processing power when faced with excessive inputs. Genetech responded by upgrading as many PIP/2s as it could, and the upgrades were solid in their execution. However, public perception had soured to the PIP/2, and the line was discontinued. (EGD)

Pipefighter
this was the term used by the New Republic to describe the unusual fighters developed under Operation Starlancer. Each pipefighter was roughly triangular in shape, made up from tubular sections cobbled together on Borleias. Each pipefighter was loaded with sensors, and was designed to attain a specific, mathematical point in orbit around Borleias in order to gather intelligence. At each end of the tubes on the pipefighter was a laser emitter, which resembled a weapon in form. However, instead of sending out short, coherent bursts of energy, these emitters sent out a meter-thick beam of continuous red light. In total, four pipefighters were built, and worked in unison to create an incredible light show. The beams eventually converged to a single beam emitted by Starlancer Prime, which Starlancer scientists calculated to reach Coruscant. It was sufficiently weak to not cause much damage, but it was enough to convince the Yuuzhan Vong othat the pipefighter was a superweapon. In reality, the beam which reached Coruscant was fired from a Star Destroyer hidden at the edge of the Coruscant System. Later, Danni Quee allowed Tam Elgrin to steal information about Starlancer, which showed the lambent crystals were being grown in immense sizes to serve as focusing crystals for the pipefighters. This forced the Warmaster Tsavong Lah to dedicate a large fleet to destroying the Republic's base on Borleias, while allowing the remnants of the New Republic's Advisory Council a chance to regroup elsewhere. (EL1, EL2)

this famous doctor taught at the Sperinad University on Esseles. (SWJ8)

Pir Cuvin

Piranha Beetles
a species of blue, predatory insects native to Yavin 4, piranha beetles lived in a hive which was governed by a queen. Food was captured and returned to the hive at the direction of the queen, and was later distributed to the entire population of the hive. Piranha beetles were extremely efficient hunters, and could carve up their prey into manageable pieces with their sharp mandibles. Swarms of piranha beetles patrolled the jungles of Yavin 4, constantly searching for unsuspecting prey. Note that The Wildlife of Star Wars indicates that piranha beetles were a purple-red color.

Created on the planet Cyrillia, most pit droids are very small in stature (similar to the E-series of household droids), with flat, bowl-shaped heads and a single optical unit mounted on the nose. When not in use, pit droids were designed to collapse into a compact form when hit on the nose. Another jab at the nose would reactivate the small droid. Note that issue 6 of the Star Wars Kids magazine claims pit droids were manufactured by Serv-O-Droid. (SW1, OWS. SWK)

Pit of Wind
this section of the Game Chambers of Questal is a vast, deep cylinder, across which span a multitude of thin platforms at varying heights.

Pit, The
this area of scattered asteroids is located at the end of the Kessel Run. Although the Kessel Run is more dangerous, more ships are lost in the Pit because many pilots breathe a sigh of relief that they've passed beyond the Maw. They let their reflexes down just when they enter the asteroids. The asteroid field was strewn through the green, wispy arm of a nebula, much like Smuggler's Run. (THG, RD)

Pits, The
this cantina was located on the planet Stend VI. There were two entrances to The Pits: via The Hive, and walking in through the door. Over time, as swoop gangs took hold of Stend VI's culture, those who walked into The Pits were considered "ants," something to be stepped on and swiped away. The main building was low to the ground, and housed the entertainment areas. The Hive, a honeycombed column, rose above the bar itself, providing places to park swoops and other vehicles. The lowest sections housed the bar and restuarants themselves, as well a repair facilities. Owned and operated by Blizz Pinnix, there was a section of The Pits dedicated to the trophies and awards he had won over his forty-year career. Adjacent to The Pits were two facilities: Kuda's Compound, which provided sales and service for repulsorlift vehicles; and the Raptor Run, which was a swoopracing course designed by Pinnix himself.
