Pits, The
this swoopchasing course was developed by Blizz Pinnix, and was submitted to the governing body as a site for qualifying races during the height of the New Order. (BSS)

Pitta, Danetta
one of the Imperial Grand Admirals still in power after the death of Emperor Palpatine, Pitta was born to a family which had a number of non-human ancestors. He knew of a Borneck and an Etti in his bloodline, but he kept this fact a secret as he rose to power. He committed himself to the protection of the ideals of Human High Culture, and constantly scrutinized the pedigrees of the officers who served him. Pitta's main contribution to the Imperial war effort was the acquisition of slave labor, and he was believed to have depopulated entire planets of aline beings in order to satisfy the Empire's need for cheap labor. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Pitta went rogue, fleeing his post aboard the flagship Impenetrable and traveling to the Corellian System, where he bribed the Corellian diktat into allowing him to serve as the protector of the Corellian Sector. He commandeered a torpedo sphere as his flagship, but was later killed by Grand Admiral Grunger during the Battle of Tralus. (ECH, SWI66, OWS)

Pittin
this was a species of small, domesticated creatures used as pets. The original homeworld of these creatures has been lost in the millennia since they were first tamed.

Pix
this young girl was the Padawan learner of Jedi master Tyr, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Before she could be tested for elevation to the rank of Jedi Knight, Pix found herself on Thustra with Master Tyr, trying to peacefully force the Sephi to lay down their weapons. The Sephi wanted no part of the Old Republic, and launched wave after wave of suicide attacks on the Jedi and their clone troopers reinforcements. After a suicide bomber killed Master Tyr and Master Tyffix, Pix and her fellow Padawan Cal were stranded on Thustra. She was able to make a call for help to Coruscant, which was answered by Jedi Master Yoda. Yoda feared that the additional troops that accompanied him would ensure the Sephi would side with the Separatists, so he took Cal with him to discuss the situation with King Alaric. Pix was left in command of the clone troopers under Commander Clutch, with orders not to do anything until Yoda returned. She remained true to these orders until she was approached by Navi, the Senator of Thustra. Navi, working for his own goals, told Pix that Alaric had executed both Yoda and Cal, and then provided her with the coordinates of Alaric's palace. She acted as she believed any Jedi would have in the face of Yoda's death, launching an all0-out assault on Alaric's palace. Although the attack was successful, it simply was part of Navi's plot to discredit the Jedi and the Republic. She survived, however, and accompanied Yoda back to Coruscant to expose Navi as a traitor to his people. (J5)

this Dug was a member of the Anti-Artist Federation on the planet Malastare, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. A bounty was placed on his head by the Pixelito Art Guild in connection with the "malicious and unfounded" accusation that the painted pawprints of domesticated nexu were not art. This series of accusations ended up costing several artists and the Guild a large sum of credits, which they hoped to take out of his hide. Jango Fett claimed the bounty during a mission to Malastare to meet with Sebolto, during his search for the Bando Gora cult. (BH)

Pizztov
this man was something of a loan shark and a fence in the city of Bidamount. Pizztov once managed to acquire several holograms of early events from Boba Fett's life, including a holo which supposedly portrayed Fett with Sintas and their child, and threatened to auction them off to the highest bidder at the Eport facility if Fett didn't meet his demands.

When Rogue Squadron resigned its commission to battle Ysanne Isard at Thyferra, the New Republic was unable to directly supply them with X-Wings. However, they managed to sell off a number of X-Wings as broken surplus because they lacked PL-1s. This was a bookeepping ruse, though, because PL-1 actually referred to the pilot of the craft. (BW)

PL-37
this Trade Federation protocol droid was assigned to Lord Toat on the planet Maramere, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. PL-37 was destroyed by Sol Sixxa and his pirates, and the droid's dismembered body sank to the bottom of the ocean.

Planet of the Amazons: The Tale of the Pirate Ship Mourning Glory
this series of memoirs, written by Grov Bricker, documented the treatment of the Corellian pirate and his crew after they were captured by a group of Hapan women, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. It was generally considered that these memoirs were written to appeal to popular notion that the Hapan women were "amazons", rather than an actual recounting of the pirate's experiences. It became one of those books that was wildly popular and remained on the best-seller lists for many months, although no being would admit to actually owning a copy. The portrayal of the Hapan female soldiers as cruel, militaristic beings was eventually refuted, after Leia Organa set out to Hapes to discuss an alliance with the Queen Mother during the early years of the New Republic.

Some 20 years before the Galactic Civil War, Planetary Safaris discovered the planet Barab I, and organized hunting trips to hunt the Barabel race despite the fact that the Barabels were obviously intelligent. The Barabels fought back, and were eventually recognized by Captain Alater as a sentient species. (GG4, GORW, WOTC)

Planetary Security Forces
near the end of the Old Republic, it was recommended that each member world form its own Planetary Security Force, in order to ensure that the planets were protected while ensuring that the Republic's forces were not stretched too thinly.

Plaque of Victory
this odd, triangular ingot of metal was discovered by Imperial research team MS-133 four years after the Battle of Endor. It had been hidden within the confines of the Place of Kastays, on the planet Aaris III, for many centuries, after it was recovered by an ancient Aaris military force. It had been turned over the Kastays, whose team tried in vain to prevent it from tearing apart their civilization. The Plaque itself was not native to Aaris III, but had been transported to the planet millennia before the rise of the Aaris civilization. It fed off the life energies of organic beings, and tried to kill any living thing it encountered. It did not actually try to kill them itself, but amplified the suspicious nature of the beings which touched it, in an attempt to have them destroy themselves. While the Plaque's effect was strongest when in physical contact with a being, proximity to the artifact also strengthened a being's fear of its companions. After the Plaque had been discovered by Lancer Brunou and team MS-133, the crew of the FarStar was forced to jettison the Plaque into space in order to defeat its evil influence. (DARK)

Plasma Ball
this Yuuzhan Vong weapon was similar in many respects to a magma missile. A sphere of pure plasma energy, the plasma ball was one of the primary weapons of the coralskippers which were developed after the initial stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. One of the things that made plasma balls an effective weapon was that they continued to erode the surfaces they hit against, even after the initial blast had passed. Thus, any hit from a plasma ball was potentially deadly. These weapons were fired from Yuuzhan Vong vessels by specialized volcanic cannons. (SBS, EL1, GMR8)

Plasma Bomb
this form of explosive was used by the Bartokks. (E1A4)

Plasma Cannon
a crude weapon which expels a packet of ionized plasma gas at its target, most of the known versions of plasma cannons came from sources outside the known galaxy. The first recorded sighting of a plasma cannon occurred when the Charons first made an attempt to enter the galaxy from Otherspace. Decades later, a new form of plasma cannon emerged, this time in the arsenal of the Yuuzhan Vong. The Yuuzhan Vong yaret-kor plasma balls that caused initial damage upon detonation, but which also continued to eat away at any surface which the energy came in contact with. (OS, EL1, NEGW)

Plasma Cut
manufactured by BlasTech, this portable plasma torch was used to open a hole in a starship's hull during a boarding action. (PP)

Plasma Eel
this Yuuzhan Vong grenade was a bioengineered creature whose body was mostly active plasma. The plasma eel resembled an amphistaff in shape, and could be wrapped around a warrior's arm for transport. Then thrown, however, the plasma eel became as rigid as a spear. The plasma inside the eel's body quickly built up energy, and the entire creature exploded upon impact, causing large amounts of damage. After the hostilities between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance were resolved, and the Yuuzhan Vong were allowed to live on the planet Zonama Sekot, they found that plasma eels and many other bio-engineered weapons simply reverted to their animal forms and fled into the forests. This was one way in which Sekot forced the Yuuzhan Vong to give up their lust for war and embrace a more enlightened existence. (NJOSB, UF)
