Key of the Overpeople
an ancient artifact that has been traced to the Sharu, the Key of the Overpeople was a golden implement shaped like a fork. To the human eye, it appeared to be continually changing its aspect, which tended to cause headaches in beings who viewed it for too long. The fork seemed to have anywhere from two to four tines, depending on when one viewed it. It was found in a museum outside of the Rafa System, and was recovered by Rokur Gepta during the early years of the New Order. He believed that the Key was a tool to be used to activate the Mindharp of Sharu. The Key was known by many names throughout history: The Fabled Key of the Sharu, The Opener of Mysteries, The Illuminator of Darkness, Shower of the Way, and The Means to The End. Unknown to Rokur Gepta, the actual purpose of the Key was to allow the Bearer to enter the great pyramid on Rafa V, and begin the journey toward the Mindharp. No door actually opened; rather, the Bearer was allowed to pass through the pyramid's structure and enter the "dream without sleep." This dream showed the Bearer the history of the Sharu and, eventually, the Mindharp. Lando Calrissian was given the key by Gepta, since he matched a certain Toka prophecy about who the Bearer would be. He used the Key to gain access to the pyramid for himself and Mohs. (LCM)

During a confrontation on the planet between Bossk, IG-88, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Calrissian, the bounty hunters were defeated and Calrissian escaped. Because of the large population of bounty hunters, both native and transient, Keyorin became known as the "Hunter's World." (EGC, OE, MC85)

a member of the Noghri clan Kihm'bar and thirdson of the clan maitrakh, Khabarakh was the only survivor of Noghri commando team 22, which was sent to Kashyyyk to capture Leia Organa Solo some five years after the Battle of Endore. However, his encounter with Leia led him to reconsider his loyalty to the Empire, especially after learning that she was the Mal'ary'ush. He spent nearly a month on Kashyyyk before returning to Honoghr, listening to Leia's entreaties to allow the New Republic to help the Noghri and finally agreeing to bring her to Honoghr. Khabarakh was originally believed to have been killed on Kashyyyk, but his reappearance on Honoghr drew the attention of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Although Khabarakh covered his disappearance by claiming that he needed time to meditate and reflect on his failure at kashyyyk, Thrawn placed Khabarakh and clan Kihm'bar under Imperial arrest until the missing month could be truthfully explained. Throughout the struggle between Thrawn and the New Republic, Khabarakh supported Leia and her family, and eventually became a bodyguard of sorts for her. After the death of Thrawn, he returned to his planet to help rebuilt it. (HTTE, DFR, DFRC)

Khaddar, Ob
this outspoken radical at Alderaan University was a native Alderaanian artist whose work was outwardly beautiful, but depicted his fear of the Empire and Emperor Palpatine's iron grip on the galaxy as sharp undertones. One of his works, the moss-painting Killik Twilight, was later used by the Alliance ot store the codes for the Shadowcast program. Khaddar was also grass painter, and was perhaps most famous for a painting he did to commemorate the arrival of Emperor Palpatine on Alderaan. He worked alone, allowing no one to interfere with his vision. When the spring rains soaked the painting, it blossomed with color and life, depicting the Emperor as a benevolent ruler. However, when Palpatine arrived to look at the grass painting, Ob Khaddar's final stroke was revealed. On the very day Palpatine arrived, black lilies began to bloom while the other colored flowers began to wither and die. The painting seen by the Emperor was of a withered, ugly monster, and Palpatine was outraged and ordered the entire grass painting burned. By the time Palpatine arrived, though, Khaddar had already fled the planet. He carried a death mark on his head, but was never found. (ISU, TG)

Khal, Rastus
according to Crev Bombassa, this legendary fictional Corellian was always able to make time to meet with those individuals who intrigued him. (VOF)

Khal, Sinsor
this Hapan scientist was the leader of the team which traveled to Gallinore to explore new biotechnologies, during the early decades of the New Republic. Unknown to many, Khal was a failed Jedi Knight who had returned to the Hapes Cluster in order to pursue his career in medicine. Many years after the Battle of Endor, he was contacted by Jaina Solo - with the assistance of the former Hapan Queen Mother, Ta'a Chume - in the hope that he mind be able to find a way to learn how Yuuzhan Vong communication technology worked. Jaina provided the pirate Crimpler as a subject, and Sinsor Khal went to work from there. He seemed to care little for the well-being of Crimpler, an attitude which stemmed more from his desire to make discoveries at any cost - even human life - than from a deep-seated psychosis. Nevertheless, Sinsor Khal was able to isolate the genetic material of the Yuuzhan Vong coral implant found in Crimpler's neck, and create several other versions of it for Jaina's use. (DJ, GMR8, OWS)

Khalee Lah
this Yuuzhan Vong warrior was the son of Warmaster Tsavong Lah. Taller than the average Yuuzhan Vong, Khalee Lah was distinguished by the various spikes and horns which adorned his scarred body. Prominent among these was a short, thick horn that protruded from his forehead. He accompanied the priest Harrar, leading the effort to capture Jaina and Jacen Solo in order to sacrifice the twin Jedi to the Yuuzhan Vong gods. Harrar admired Khalee Lah's dedication to the Yuuzhan Vong, but questioned the youthful exuberance and blatant egotism in his manners and actions. Khalee Lah was openly disdainful of any possible threat the Chiss could bring to bear against the Yuuzhan Vong, unaware that it was the Chiss who first destroyed a Yuuzhan Vong reconnaissance mission more than fifty years earlier. During the attempt to recover the Trickster at Hapes, Khalee Lah's forces proved to be no match for the Hapan fleet, and many Yuuzhan Vong ships were destroyed. It was believed that Khalee Lah surrendered himself to Harrar, hoping that his death could be attributed to the battle and not his failure. Harrar agreed, providing Khalee Lah with a Republic explosive with which to destroy his own ship as he fled the priest. Khalee Lah's ship later exploded, taking the warrior with it. (DJ)

Khamar
this gruff, Corellian man held the rank of General in the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. General Khamar was dispatched to the planet Praesitlyn with a modest military force, to serve as the primary defensive force protecting the Intergalactic Communications Center. Many wondered why he as given such a relatively small force, given the importance of the communications center. Khamar himself thought the Republic's defense of Praesitlyn was severely lacking in strength, but he kept it to himself, even though he didn't understand it. These fears were realized with a huge Separatist assault force, led by Pors Tonith, attacked Praestilyn and captured the facility some two and a half years after the Battle of Geonosis. Despite several desparate stands against overwhelming odds, General Khamar and his forces stood their ground as the fighting began. However, because the Separatists had started jamming all communications, Khamar was unable to dispatch a message to Coruscant requesting reinforcement. His troops were quickly overrun, and even the appearance of Zozridor Slayke and his soldiers couldn't save them. (JT)

Khamp, Melvor
this man was a native of Derilyn, and worked at the Imperial shipyards near Sluis Van during the Galactic Civil War. When he learned of the Sixty Hour War and the destruction of the city of Paran, he learned that his family had been killed in the assault.

Khan, Razi
this Man was one of the many Seyugi Dervishes who were put into hibernation beneath the Seyugi fortress on Recopia, as a way to preserve their cult when the Jedi Knights started to hunt them down. During the height of the New Order, Razi Khan and several of his companions was mistakenly revived by one of the monks who lived on Mallif Cove. Overpowering the monk, they tried to reach Scapio in an effort to locate someone who could open the Seyugi vaults beneath the fortress. Razi Khan managed to kidnap a slicer, but the police force in Scapio sent a group of freelance mercenaries after the Seyugi. Razi Khan was eventually caught, and the Seyugi were once again forced into obscurity. (CCW)

Kh'aris Fenn
this well-muscled, handsome Twi'lek was known to Vilmahr Grahrk simply as his "patron." He was the son of Ro Fenn, and was forced by his father to take the blame for Pol Secura's death. Ro Fenn believed that this would allow him to remain alive, despite the Twi'lek law that required all surviving members of a head-clan to walk into the Bright Lands to make way for a new head-clan. Kh'aris was exiled for his supposed crime, although he had been assured by his father that the exile would be temporary. While in exile - and exile he believed would be shortened by his father - Kh'aris began working with smugglers and spicelords to take control of the production of ryll spice. This gave his a fortune in credits, which he used to set his own plans in motion. Kh'aris, however, believed that he was kept waiting too long, and began to make plans to take control of Ryloth by himself. To this end, Kh'aris took a role in the employ of Count Dooku during the years following the Battle of Naboo, working to solidify his power base. Kh'aris then arranged to have the Morgukai warriors Tsyr and Bok capture Nat Secura, and planned to hold the boy hostage until he received his demands. He was able to capture the Jedi Master Tholme as well, who tried to stop the kidnapping. Then, at the advice of Count Dooku, Kh'aris reappeared on Ryloth and demanded that Ro Fenn and Lon Secura turn over control of Lessu to him alone. He demanded an end to his exile, and told the two leaders that they should support him as the ruler of all of Ryloth. Lon Secura, knowing that his son's life was at stake, acceded almost immediately. Ro Fenn balked, but Kh'aris had had enough of his obese father. He exiled Ro Fenn, and set about to assume control. However, Lon Secura had secretly met with the other clan leaders on Ryloth, and they agreed to send Kh'aris and his father into the Bright Lands. Kh'aris fled Ryloth, forcing Vilmahr Grahrk to transport him off the planet to meet with Count Dooku, where he was forced to admit that their plans for Ryloth had failed. In an act of revenge, Kh'aris took the credits he had been given by Dooku and used them as collateral on a bounty for any Jedi captured or killed, as a way to regain favor with Dooku. The only takers were the Crimson Nova chapter, whose leader, Mika, had a personal vendetta against the Jedi. These plans also fell through when a group of Jedi Master, led by Mace Windu, infiltrated The Rig and learned of Kh'aris's plans. When Dooku discovered his duplicity, he dispatched Quinlan Vos to eliminate Kh'aris. Vos took Kh'aris's head for proof of his death. (ROP, RSF)

Kharr
this ancient Cathar wiseman was sought out by Sylvar when she returned to her homeworld, after nearly inciting a Twi'lek clan war following the Exis Convocation. Kharr was not a Jedi, but could see that Sylvar was wrong in placing her aggression on Ulic Qel-Droma. Kharr urged her to go on a blood hunt and find her true enemy. (TOJR)

Kharys
this imposing, female S'kytri was the Matriarch of her people during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Kharys had been named the Majestrix of Skye by Darth Vader himself, after the Empire took control of the planet Skye. Many years before the Battle of Yavin, Kharys had captured twenty Corellians and hunted them for prey on Skye. The only two survivors were Han Solo and Katya M'Buele. When Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa were nearly captured by Kharys on Tirahnn, Han decided to locate Kharys and make her pay for the cruel hunt many years before. Kharys imprisoned Han, but was unable to stop Luke, who had been identified as the prophesied being who would free the S'kytri. Kharys fought against Luke with a lightsaber she had been given, and used a measure of control over the Force to try and muddle Luke's mind. In the end, however, Luke was able to kill her and end her tyrannical rule. (LTA1, MCA1)

Khetanna
this was the name of Jabba the Hutt's personal, luxury sail barge. Like most sail barges, it was driven mainly by repulsorlist thrusters, but could be moved about by the wind is needed. A Ubrikkian sail barge, the Khetanna was a combination of opulence and minimalism, and was originally designed by Derren Flet. Jabba wanted the ship's systems to cater to his every whim, but didn't want to spent a large amount of credits on accommodations. Jabba spent most of his credits outfitting the pleasure craft with weapons, including a variety of hidden blasters and a heavy deck gun. It was always accompanied by a pair of skiffs, carrying guards and secondary weapons. The Khetanna served Jabba for many years, until the crimelord's death at the hands of Leia Organa. As she escaped with Luke Skywalker, they fired the barge's cannons into its decks, setting off a series of explosions that tore through the fuel cells, eliminating the Khetanna in a massive blast. (SWDB, ICS, IWST)

Khil
an ancient race that joined the Old Republic millenia ago, the Khil are humanoids characterized by their unique facial structure. Their large heads are hairless, and seem to lack jaws. Just below their noses is a mass of fleshy tendrils known as hullepi. These strands of flesh are among the most important organs in the Khil body, as they are used for eating, drinking, breathing, and communication. The hullepi are used to breathe the air of their home planet, Belnar. As a by-product of breathing, the hullepi strain microscopic proteins and moisture from the air. This serves as the Khil's food. Any waste products thus ingested are expelled by sneezing. They can also absorb liquids through the hullepi, prefering juices to supplement the airborne proteins they consume. By breathing through hullepi of various sizes, the Khil can also communicate, via a series of musical whistles and songs. A dedicated and driven race, the Khil have been members of the Old Republic for longer than anyone could remember. They spread throughout several colony worlds and systems after discovering the ability to travel through space. When Palpatine instituted the New Order, the Khil were outraged and appalled. They worked to support the Alliance in any way possible, with an eye for subtlety. (GG12)

Khilese

Khiss
this Dug worked for Sebulba, helping to traffick the slaves that the podracer bought and sold on the side. Khiss was known among the less-reputable of the galaxy's wealthy for his ability to obtain rare or unusual slave species, such as Ghostlings. Khiss was killed when he was eaten by a deneba bush in Gardulla the Hutt's hidden underground oasis. Khiss had been working with Sebulba to recapture the Ghostlings, as well as Pala Kwi'teksa and Anakin Skywalker. Pala lured Khiss close to the bush, which struck with blinding speed and cpatured Khiss before he could scream out a warning. (E1A5, E1A7)

Kholm-grass
this was the only plant that managed to survive on Honoghr, after a battle between two starships that left the planet a virtual wasteland. Kholm was never edible to the Noghri, which made the fact that it alone survived something of a bittersweet irony. Unknown to the Noghri, however, was the fact that modern kholm had been altered from its original form by the Empire to prohibit the growth of other plant species. This allowed Emperor Palpatine, through Darth Vader and Grand Admiral Thrawn, to keep the Noghri indebted and enslaved to the Empire. (DFR)

Kholot
this creature, native to the plains of Ansion, dug burrows into the ground for shelter and safety. The average kholot was covered with olive-green fur that helped it blend into the grasslands that dominated the surface of Ansion, and they fed primarily in grasses and roots. The teeth of the kholot were wide and sharp, designed to cut through the clumps of grass. (APS)

Khomm
the homeworld of Khommite race, Khomm is located in a star system near the galactic Core. The planet's inhabitants and their society remained unchanged for thousands of years, since they felt that they had achieved perfection. This led to the cloning of "perfect" individuals, and the society evolved into a stagnant group of repetitive clones. They lead uneventful lives, which is often fine with them. Any members of the society who want to do something unusual are shunned, much as Dorsk 81 was. The planet is a technological world, crisscrossed with grid-like cities laid out according to pattern. Admiral Daala chose Khomm as one of her first points of attack following her unification of the Imperial warlords' fleets, primarily because her plans for attacking Yavin 4 were overheard by Kyp Durron on Dorsk 81, who fled to Khomm because it was the only location plotted in their navicomputer. Cronus' fleet of Victory-class Star Destroyers laid waste to the planet in no time, due to the lack of planetary defense. (DA, DS, EGP)

Khomm
this was the native language of the Khommite people. (EGP)

Khommite
this race of humanoids was native to the planet Khomm. The Khommites valued total conformity to their own version of society, which shunned innovation and uniqueness. To this end, the Khommite people ensured that their society would remain unchanged by continually cloning themselves. About 1,000 years before the Battle of Endor, they achieved a level of cloning technology that surpassed that of the rest of the galaxy, and were immune to the restrictions placed on the galaxy in the wake of the Clone Wars. The Khommites even cloned their wildlife, to ensure that nothing ever changed. In appearance, Khommites were hairless being with large skulls. Their greenish skin was sometimes mottled with yellow. (DA, DS, EGP)

Khoonda Plains
this grassland, located on the planet Dantooine, was one of the few viable areas of land that remained after Darth Malak destroyed the Jedi enclave on the planet, nearly 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The survivors of the attack gathered on the Khoonda Plains to eke out a living, after the Old Republic abandoned Dantooine. (KOTOR2, LAWS)

Khorak
this Imperial General served with Commander Shad on the planet Elerion, during the height of the New Order. (T15)

Khoss
this young member of the Knylenn family from the planet Kuat was highly ambitious, and longed to take control of Kuat Drive Yards. He went so far as to kill his family's elder and preserve the body in an elaborate life-support system. This allowed Khoss to effectively control the family's business without having to prove his abilities. His plans came to a head shortly before the Battle of Endor, after his network of spies had gathered information on Kuat of Kuat and his dealings. He claimed that Kuat's behind-the-scenes actions were treacherous and self-centered, and that the leader of KDY was only working his own best interests. Kodir of Kuhlvult supported Kuat in the debate, and helped expose Fenald as a traitor as well as Khoss' deception with his elder's body. However, this entire episode fell into Kodir's plans to wrest control of KDY from Kuat, but her plans were also exposed and defeated. (SLS)

The exact nature of the Kho'zhak's abilities was never discovered. (SWJ8)

Ki-Adi-Mundi
this Jedi Knight was a member of the Cerean race. Trained by Yoda since the age of four when he was discovered by the Dark Woman, he spent twenty-one years learning the way of the Jedi. After being given the title of Jedi Knight, Ki had considerable power in manipulating the Force by the time he returned home on his first mission, to free his people from the grip of Bin-Garda-Zon and his rogues. This task he managed to accomplish without bloodshed as the old and weak Bin-Garda was unable to maintain his control of the rogues in the face of Ki's ability to best their leader. Several more years of working as a Jedi Knight brough Ki a good deal of influence within the ranks of the Jedi. However, he found he had little influence on his homeworld. Like most of the older generation, Ki-Adi-Mundi wanted to do away with unnecessary technology, while the younger generation wanted speeder bikes and starships. As a generation war erupted on Cerea, Ki-Adi-Mundi was caught in the middle when his daughter, Sylvn, was found to be a friend of Maj. He pursued the techrats at the behest of the Cerean council of elders, and eventually traced the imports of technology to Ephant Mon, Jabba the Hutt, and the Trade Federation. He was forced to abandon his search on Tatooine, after rescuing Sylvn and Twin from an ion storm which masked the escape of Mon and Jabba. Upon returning to Cerea, he was met with two welcome revelations: first, that his bond-wife Shea was pregnant; and second, that he had been nominated for a seat on the Jedi Council. His inclusion in the Jedi Council was unique in that, at the time, he was the only Jedi Knight on the council, while all other members were Jedi Masters. Nevertheless, his wisdom and calm demeanor were welcomed on the Council. His first mission for the Council was to travel to Tatooine and locate Sharad Hett. He later was influential in the decisions made regarding the testing and training of Anakin Skywalker. In the years following the Battle of Naboo, Ki-Adi-Mundi attained the rank of Jedi Master. He used a purple-bladed lightsaber whenever discussion failed, a fact that made him one of the primary Jedi Masters dispatched to Geonosis to free Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Separatists. Unfortunately for the Jedi, the Separatists wanted no part of any discussions, and the Battle of Geonosis broke out. Ki-Adi-Mundi was among the handful of Jedi to survive the battle, and later commanded clone troopers in the rest of the Battle of Geonosis. Ki-Adi-Mundi agreed to serve as one of the Generals in the Army of the Republic, and was part of the task force sent to Hypori to destroy the droid foundries on the planet. The mission proved to be a disaster for the Jedi, and Ki-Adi-Mundi was among the handful of Jedi to survive their first battle with General Grievous. It was during the Clone Wars, with the Battle of Cerea, that Master Asi-Mundi learned that his family had been killed in the fighting. Rather than dwell on this event, Ki used it to steel his resolve to fight harder to preserve the Republic. When Obi-Wan disappeared on Jabiim, Ki-Adi-Mundi agreed to take over the training of Anakin Skywalker, a decision that gave the Cerean no small amount of frustration. When Anakin suddenly left his side to rescue Obi-Wan, Ki-Adi-Mundi was glad to have his fellow Jedi Master back, and gladly turned over the continuation of Anakin's training to Obi-Wan. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Ki-Adi-Mundi was dispatched to Mygeeto to put a stop to the fighting there. However, when Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu, he sent out communications to the various clone commanders to execute Order 66. Upon hearing the order, Commander Bacara ordered his troops to open fire on Ki-Adi-Mundi, utterly destroying the defenseless Jedi Master. (PTR, SW1, IG1, SWO, JAF, AOTC, SWDB, RNML, IS3)

found on the planet Cularin, this range was known for its sheer face. The Tarasin used to hang suspected criminals over the edge of the drop, as a way to test the truth of their claims. In modern times, the Kiallquis were considered ideal for rock climbers and speeder racers. (LFC)
