Nightsisters
a clan of Dark Side witches on Dathomir, the Nightsisters were created by Gethzerion following her own exile. It is rumored that Palpatine feared their power, so he had the planet interdicted and used atmospheric bombardment to destroy any ships on the planet. They are noticeable by the way the blood vessels near their eyes have ruptured from their rage, and from their use of the Dark Side. They made a deal with the Imperial Warlord Zsinj for a transport ship with which they could escape Dathomir, but they were destroyed by Luke, Han, and Leia just as their ship tried to leave Dathomir. (CPL, CTD)

Nightstinger
this weapon, produced by Xerrol, was a model of sniper's blaster rifle. It was well-known among weapons experts for the fact that it fires an invisible bolt. Despite this advantage, the weapon had several drawbacks. First, a canister of the special blster gas it required cost well over 1,000 credits. Second, each canister had only enough gas for up to five shots before it had to be replaced. Lastly, the canisters were specially designed, and only fit in certain weapons. It was created by the Empire for use in taking out specific targets. (SOP)

Nightwing
this was the callsign of a member of the Thaereian Navy, during the height of the Clone Wars. He originally joined the military to protect his homeworld, although he was one of the few soldiers who truly understood that protection often meant taking the fight to a superior enemy. His beliefs were challenged when he was confronted by Commander Kulkis, who tested Nightwing's resolve by drawing a knife on the soldier. Nightwing was prepared for the attack, and managed to twist the knife into a position where it stabbed into Kulkis' chest when they fell to the ground. Nightwing believed that he had passed whatever test Kulkis had meant for him, although Kulkis' final words caused him to question the need to continue defending Thaere. Many of the Cularin newsnets were abuzz with activity after an account of Nightwing's actions were posted, and many believed that Nightwing was actually Osten Dal'Nay. (LFCW)

Niik, Li-Suun
this well-known crimelord operated a bold and fearless smuggling operation from a base on the planet Aargau, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. His smugglers were known for their bravery - or stupidity, depending on how one looked at things. Li-Suun himself was hard for authorities to pinpoint, and the name Li-Suun Niik was probably an alias. He had cultivated several contacts within the Bank of Aargau, although his contacts were unaware of his true identity. What was known was that Li-Suun and his smugglers used a variety of methods to smuggle precious metals off the planet, including surgically attaching sheets of gold to bones. Unknown to most beings, Li-Suun was also somewhat sensitive to the Force, although he was self-trained. (PH, MC48)

Niiriit Esh
this was one of the small group of Shamed Ones who lived with Vuurok I'pan beneath the surface of Coruscant, after the planet had been transformed into a likeness of Yuuzhan'tar. Like the rest of their cadre, Niiriit believed that the Jedi Knights were not abominations, but saviors of the Shamed Ones and symbols of the new ideology which should be embraced by the Yuuzhan Vong. For this reason, their band remained small, in case they were captured by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors. This ensured that their small cult of Jedi followers would never be fully discovered. A former warrior, Niiriit developed a simple relationship with Kunra during their residence below Coruscant's surface. Niiriit was quite suspcious when I'pan returned one day with Nom Anor at his side, having heard of the former Executor's work as a minion of the Supreme Overlord Shimrra, but she was attracted to Nom Anor's charismatic presence. Niiriit was killed when the small band of heretics was discovered by a squad of Yuuzhan Vong warriors. When the warriors were drawn to Nom Anor's presence or simply happened upon the band, they mercilessly killed every Shamed One they could capture. (FH1)

Nijune Treasure Fleet
this traveling starship caravan was rumored to have been one of the most wondrous and valuable sets of ships ever put together during the Old Republic.

Centuries later, Jonas Durns discovered the location of the Kragg's Fury, which was rumored to contain the riches of the Fleet in its holds. Durns learned of the Fleet's location from Sig Coven, and hired a group of freelance scouts to find it. (SWJ7)

Nikkos Tyris
this Anzati was one of the most powerful of the Saarai-karr leaders of the Jensaarai, who discovered some ancient Sith teachings during the Clone Wars. Tyris was also a former Jedi Knight, and his knowledge both the Light and Dark Sides of the Force, coupled with Tyris' unusual style of fighting, made him a formidable opponent. He and his companions were dispatched by Nejaa Halcyon and Ylenic It'kla, but not before Halcyon was mortally wounded when Tyris drove his azure lightsaber through Halcyon's chest. Halcyon, though dying, absorbed all the energy from Tyris' lightsaber and used it to create a fist-like projection with the Force. Halcyon used it to crush Tyris.

Jango Fett claimed the bounty shortly afterward, durnig a mission to Tatooine to seek an audience with Jabba the Hutt. (BH)

Nikto
this was the native langauge shared by all five races of Nikto. (UANT)

Nikto
a humanoid alien race which evolved into five distinct branches on the planet Kintan. They were an ancient species, being one of the three races signed into servitude to the Hutts during the battle against Xim the Despot. The Nikto were characterized by their leathery skin, reptilian eyes, and fierce temperments. The skin of a Nikto was made up up thousands of overlapping scales, which could be shifted to cover wounds to protect them from infection. All five races are genetically capable of interbreeding; 93% of the offspring from such unions resemble only one of the parents. There were a number of environmental and geological changes that greatly affected life on Kintan, causing the once-singular Nikto race to evolve its five unique races. Chief among these changes was the radiation expelled by the nearby star M'dweshuu. The Red Nikto, called Kajain'sa'Nikto, evolved in the deserts. They have ridged foreheads, eight small horns around the eyes, and two at the chin. They breath through a permeable membrane over their mouths and through four breather tubes on their necks. The Green Nikto, known as Kadas'sa'Nikto, evolved in the forests. They are visibly scaled, with obvious noses and small horns ringing their eyes. The Mountain Nikto are called Esral'sa'Nikto, and have smooth skin. Their ears are large and fin-shaped, designed to be extended or pulled flat to regulate body heat and enhance hearing. They also have a nasal membrane similar to the Red Nikto. The Pale Nikto, called Gluss'sa'Nikto, are found in the islands of the planet. They resemble the Green Nikto, with fin-like ears. The last race, called M'shento'su'Nikto or Southern Nikto, lack any horns but have a number of breather tubes at various points on their skulls. Their inner strength and fierce nature has been honed over millennia of survival against the predators of Kintan. This led to four intense civil wars which nearly destroyed Kintan some 30 years before the Nikto helped the Hutts defeat Xim. The Hutts then distributed the Nikto to various worlds as bodyguards and strongmen. The Nikto developed atomic-level technology on their own, and absorbed galactic technology from the Hutts. They have remained under Hutt control for over 25,000 years, for the most part remaining neutral throughout the various battles between the Empire and the Alliance. Because of this, many Nikto individuals who were sensitive to the Force remained undiscovered by the Jedi Knights, although a few Nikto escaped slavery to become Jedi. (ROTJ, TOJ, GG12, SWJ6, AOTC, GMR6, MJH)

Nikto Kajidic

Nil
this Quint worked for Jenna Zan Arbor as a guard, at her secret laboratory on Simpla-12. He was jealously loyal to Jenna, and resented the bond she seemed to form with her Force-sensitive test subjects. Qui-Gon Jinn managed to use Nil's anger as a lever, and managed to escape twice from under Nil's guard. Luckily for Nil, he was caught by Zan Arbor each time. Unluckily for Nil, Zan Arbor grew tired of his inability to contain the Jedi, and injected the Quint with a lethal dose of drugs. (EVE, TDR)

Nil Spaar
this cunning Yevethan was in charge of the Yevethan workers at the Imperial shipyard known as Black-15. While there, he plotted to overthrow the Imperials and take control of the shipyards for the Yevethans, and bided his time working under Jian Paret. When the official order to evacuate the shipyards and destroy its ships was issued, Spaar heard it almost as quickly as Paret did, and put his plans into motion. The Yevethan workers gained access to the spaceworthy Imperial craft, and slaughtered their crews. Nil Spaar personally executed Jian Paret and took control of the Intimidator. With his plan under way, Nil Spaar and the Yevetha retreated into the Koornacht Cluster to repair their ships and plan the next phase of attack. The next phase began twelve years later, and would be known among the Yevetha as the Great Purge. Nil Spaar went to Coruscant to discuss a mutual relationship between the Yevethan Duskhan League and the New Republic with Leia Organa-Solo. Spaar carefully avoided an alliance while probing for weaknesses in Leia's government. Spaar wooed certain New Republic Senators who opposed Leia's ideals, and through them sowed seeds of unrest in the Senate. When Leia discovered the missing Black Sword Command, Nil Spaar again called the Yevetha to act, and used a carefully orchestarted series of events to his own ends. He twisted the events to appear as if Leia were the agressor and himself an innocent victim, while launching a wave of extermination throughout the Koornacht. The Yevetha wiped out any non-Yevethan settlements, keeping intact any strategic mines or businesses. Nil Spaar then retreated to N'Zoth to enjoy the fruits of his labors. He used the New Republic's HoloNet communications network to bombard the citizens and Senators with slanderous accusations against Leia, and he fostered relationships with several disgruntled Senators. He also place Belezaboth Ourn on Coruscant, and the set-up provided him with a great deal of advanced information on the Republic's moves with regard to the Yevetha. When the Republic decided to send Han Solo to command the Fifth Battle Group, Spaar ordered that Solo be captured, as a way to bring Leia under his control. At the same time, he began breeding with several Yevethan females, hoping to ensure his immortality through prodigious offspring. Taking some of the advice of Tal Fraan, Spaar kept a group of prisoners - taken from each of the worlds the Yevetha purged - on the Pride of Yevetha. This assured that the Republic would not take direct action against him, for fear of harming innocent captives. Among the captives was Han Solo, but Chewbacca and Lumpawarump were able to penetrate the Star Destroyer and rescue Solo. During the rescue, the Wookiees also destroyed many of Spaar's mara-nas casks. This series of events angered Spaar into taking foolish actions, which led to his eventual defeat at the Battle of N'zoth. Unbeknownst to Spaar, the Imperial officers he had kept prisoner ever since the Yevetha took control of the Black Sword shipyards were also rising up against him. Led by Sil Sorannan, the Imperials took control of several Yevethan warships during the Battle, including the Pride of Yevetha. Sorannan, wanting to kill Spaar outright but also wanting Spaar to suffer for his actions, forced the Yevethan leader into an escape pod as the Super-class Star Destroyer travelled through hyperspace toward Byss. The pod was ejected into hyperspace, and Nil Spaar was never heard from again. (BTS, SOL, TT)

The vigo brought him in, and Nim Abek was surprised when the Nalroni offered him a job instead of executing him. Since then, Nim Abek has been given command of some 100 pirates, plying the spacelanes of the Sisar Run. He maintained a shadowport just beyond the intersection of the Sisar Run and the Ac'fren Spur, known as Abek's Station, to further his own goals. When he learned that information about Black Sun's operations along the Sisar Run were up for sale by Limna Yith, Abek tried to obtain the information before Sprax learned of it, in order to lessen Sprax's stature in the eyes of Prince Xizor.

After the Legions of Lettow were defeated by the ancient Jedi Knights, the Jedi adopted both the two-handed fighting technique and its name. Although many Jedi trained in the Niman style to gain basic knowledge of a two-bladed attack, very few ever mastered it completely. Note that Star Wars Insider magazine, issue 68, claims that Niman was the ancient term used to describe the Form VI lightsaber fighting style. (SWI68, WOTC, VD3)

this Hobor was the leader of his people, and represented them at the peace talks conducted by the Tion Hegemony. He had a deep hatred of the Troobs, and chose to speak only Tahlboorean in their presence. This was a ploy by Chief Nimondro, for he could understand and speak fluent Basic, but held onto this trump card to gain the upper hand against the Troobs. Nimondro also controlled Mount Yeroc, and used it to demonstrate his powerful position during the negotiations with Counselor Harthan. His daughter, Larka, was the light of his life, and when she was framed for the murder to Ket Krax, he was furious. When she told him that she was in love with Ket, he realized she was innocent, and prepared to use sky cannon inside Mount Yeroc to defend against an impending Troob attack.

Nim'Ri quit his job with House Hirskaala to join the resistance, believing that the freedom of Cularin was much more important than an individual trading concern. Shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars, Nim'ri suddenly disappeared, although rumors began to circulate that he was "headed home." Most natives of Cularin could not believe this rumor, since Nim'Ri had been born on Cularin.

The leaders of the Chiss did not use names, but instead wore colorful robes to distniguish themselves. This helped ensure that decisions were reached in a fair and equitable method. Note that Force Heretic II: Refugee indicates that there were four Chiss families. (SQ)

Niner
this clone commando - officially known as RC-1309 - was one of the many commandos who survived the Battle of Geonosis. The remainder of his squad was killed in the fighting on Geonosis, and Niner was force-fit into a new squad, known as Omega Squad. (RCHC)

Nineteenth Battle of Zehava
this struggle for control of the city of Zehava was initiated by the Melida just six months after the Eighteenth Battle. The Daan had used the underground tunnels and drains of Zehava to gain access to Melida-held territory, and soundly defeated them. (DOD)

Ningal's Droid Repair

Nink
this was the name given to one of a pair of dwarf opee sea killers kept at the Otoh Gunga Zoological Research Facility before the Battle of Naboo. The dwarf opees were the facility's rarest and most valuable specimens. Despite being just as vicious as their larger cousins, Nink and Vink were also able to understand simple commands after being trained by the researchers. (E1A9)

Ninn
this planet was known for its devoted priesthood. The so-called Priests of Ninn wore green vestments that served to announce their devotion. (HSR)

Ninopas Orocc
this male Gran and his partner, Botlat Rej, were small-time criminals on the planet Coruscant during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. After Orocc vandalized a hover platform with Cornesian wax, the platform malfunctioned, causing the deaths of three Senators. Orocc fled Coruscant, and a bounty was established for his capture by the Coruscant police force. Orocc hid on Tatooine for a while before traveling to the Outland Transit Station. There, he was captured by Jango Fett and held for questioning. (BH)
