Bergeron, Yesha
this woman was the Captain of the converted freighter Chilastra, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (GMR8)

Bergless
this man was the Imperial sub-prefect on the planet Korbin, until he met with an untimely death. Many felt that Gornt Seron waqs behind his death, since Bergless made no attempt to hide his distaste for the criminal. Bergless fell to his death from his office, an event which many belived was suicide until sub-prefect Neris lost his life in a similar manner after meeting with Seron. (GG11)

Bergruutfa
this creature, native to the planet Sriluur, is used by the Weequay in their ritual sacrifices to their gods. Note that Creatures of the Galaxy claims bergruutfa were native to Teloc Ol-sen. They were also used by other races as beasts of burden, and were known for their loyalty and stamina. Bergruutfas were also known to be keenly intelligent and even possess a sense of humor, learning names and commands quickly and hiding their owner's personal effects as a practical joke. The average bergruutfa stood seven meters tall at the shoulder, and had a large, bony crest surrounding their heads. Their wide snouts produce a lot of saliva, which can create puddles of mud in their wake. (GG12, ROE, COG)

Berl
this Imperial stormtrooper served guard duty aboard the Tarkin, during its construction in the Patriim System. Berl was attacked by Chewbacca the Wookiee, when the Alliance infiltrated the Tarkin in an effort to destroy it. When Berl's fellow troopers tried to shoot Chewbacca, the Wookiee threw Berl into a power generator, causing the generator to explode. (LTA3, MC52)

Unfortunately, Berl was shot and killed by the Serps when the team landed on Serphidi. (MC64)

Berleman
the NRI agent in charge of monitoring the turbolifts that descend to the underground safe rooms in Imperial City. (AS)

Berlihat, Russo
this man served Moff Bandor as technician and analytical programmer, although he often was reduced to feeding the Moff's collection of unusual creatures in the underground game chambers.

Berra, Gar "Crazy Man"
this Alliance Major was in charge of training personnel at Oracle Base, located on Tel III. A short, bald, well-muscled man, "Crazy Man" Berra was adept in all forms of guerrilla warfare. His students thoroughly despised him while in training, but were more often than not grateful when some part of his courses saved their life in the field. (FBS)

Berrann
this Barabel shockboxer was taught to fight at an early age. When he wsa old enough, he left Barab I and made a name for himself working for Jabba the Hutt. Jabba sponsored Berrann, whose unique style won him more fights than any other shockboxer in the modern era. When Jabba told Berrann to take a dive against a much weaker opponent and promised riches beyond compare, Berrann found the offer a personal affront. Berrann defeated his opponent in the first round, then fled the system with Jabba's goons on his heels. He found work with another major crimelord, hoping one day to exact a measure of revenge against Jabba. (HR)

Berren Sid Te'
a Fabrillan street vendor and a strong supporter of the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. (CRO)

Berri
this planet is the homeworld of the Berrite race. It is a hot, smog-shrouded world with higher-than-standard gravity and little natural food sources. It is located in the Inner Rim. (GG12)

Berri
this young Twi'leki female was Mazie's daughter, born fourteen years before the Battle of Naboo. Mazie and her husband fled from Ryloth, after witnessing the slave raids that continued to occur there, hoping to make a better life for Berri on Tatooine. Unfortunately, like her mother, Berri had been captured and enslaved by Krayn, and forced to work on the Nar Shaddaa space station. Her father was killed in the raid. Berri had been favored by the slavelord, and worked as a domestic servant in his household, instead of in the spice mines. She later helped Anakin Skywalker and Siri Tachi escape from their cell, when they were captured by Krayn, by retrieving their lightsabers. In the ensuing slave revolt, and with the death of Krayn, Mazie and Berri were freed. (JQ)

Berrida
this corpulent, Imperial General was in command of the small contingent of forces which survived the Battle of Bastion. Berrida reported directly to Moff Kurlen Flennic. He was amazed to find himself listening to Jacen Solo when the Jedi Knights arrived in Imperial space, on their own mission to locate the rogue planet Zonama Sekot. Jacen offered General Berrida a wealth of information on the Yuuzhan Vong, as well as immediate plans to help the Imperials survive, despite Berrida's obvious distrust of the Jedi. Berrida decided that Jacen's words were more than valid, and decided to talk to Flennic about an alliance. (FH1)

Berrille Ada
this man-sized arachnoid alien ran a starship repair and outfitting business on Ord Mantell during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SL)

Berrite
a race of slug-like centaurians, the Berrites have a short stature and sluggish appearance. Their thick bodies are covered in heavy wrinkles of skin, and are supported by four stout legs and wide, three-clawed feet. Their upper torsos are humanoid, with two arms that end in spade-like hands. They have small, deep-set eyes and an open mouth, with five breather tubes along each side of their faces. They have developed geothermal energy sources, and have developed huge factories around this readily available power source. They have learned to cultivate their aspect of dullness when engaged with other races, for it allows them to scan their immediate surroundings with ultrasonic waves. This causes unknowing adversaries to understimate the Berrite abilities while allowing the Berrite to gain a measure of defense. Berrites are hermaphroditic, and have problems understanding the male/female differences. (GG12)

Berrol's Donn
this planet was the site of an Alliance base. (SWSB, TA, GMH)

Berrun
this planet hosted the Galactic Games two years before the Battle of Naboo. (JQ3)

Bersabba
an Alliance platform supply station destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Berserker
this was a model of blaster rifle that was produced during the height of the New Order. (SWGAL)

Berserker Droid
this was a term developed during the height of the Old Republic to indicate any droid that seemed to ignore its programming and go into a violent fit when it encountered a situation that it deemed threatening. The level of violence differed between types of droids and individual units, but one thing remained constant: something in the hardware or software was not quite right, and the normal threat-avoidance routines did not get activated correctly. Many times, the initial occurance of this aberrent behavior was ignored or dismissed by the droid's owner, who simply had the droid's memory erased in order to eliminate the "glitch." However, the glitches that resulted in berserker behavior were often unaffected by the memory wipe, which added another layer of incoherence to an already-flawed droid. Over time, these droids abandoned their programmed role and took up less lawful endeavors, until their programming simply imploded and they became killing machines. (HG)

Bersin Sekolah
this Ithorian once served as a scout during the Old Republic, but retired when Emperor Palpatine established the New Order. He retired to spend the rest of his life on Tasariq, where he studied the planet's ecology in the hope of finding a form of plant life that could help restore its atmosphere. He was frequently working in the field, and rarely returned to his home. His perseverence in trying to restore Tasariq earned hero status among the native Tasari, and he was adopted by a leading Tasari family to give him a place int heir society. (SWJ15)

Bertriak
manufacturers of active jamming systems for starfighters. (SWSB)

Bertroff Hissa
an Imperial Grand Moff serving the Empire after the death of Emperor Palpatine, Hissa was one of Trioculus' most trusted officers. Hissa was distinguished by his spear-pointed teeth, which pointed to his alien origins. As part of the Central Committee of Grand Moffs' plan to keep Triclops a secret and find a way to rule the galaxy following Palpatine's death, Hissa cultivated a friendship with Trioculus, knowing that the three-eyed mutant could be passed off as the true son of Palpatine. Hissa, the Imperial Governor of the Kessel System for many years, was severely disfigured on Duro, when the hazardous wastes from Imperial dumping grounds flooded the Valley of Royalty. He fell into the wastes, which ate away most of his body. His arms were then replaced with the arms of an assassin droid, and his torso was encased on a repulsorlift floating chair. When the Prophets of the Dark Side sentenced him for treachery against the Empire, he was to be starved aboard Scardia until he was very near death. Then, his final meal would be given to him: a meal of biscuits laden with parasites that would consume him from the inside out. He never got that far, for Kadann, suspicious that Triclops' information on the Lost City of the Jedi was false, sent Hissa to investigate. Hissa was then incinerated in the molten lava core of Yavin 4, at the end of the false entrance to the City. (GDV, MMY, QE, PDS, GMR1)

Berubian
this mineral is highly sought after. Many a con artist has salted a worthless hole in the ground to sell as the real thing. Lando Calrissian was duped by such a trick, shortly after leaving the Oseon System with a shipful of gemstones. (RD)

Berubium
this ore was found only in the asteroid belt which surrounded Borgo Prime. (ECH)

Beruga
this Wookiee was a slave when she was inadvertently freed by Nim Abek. Since that time, Beruga has worked for Abek as a pilot as well as a saboteur, disabling those ships which Abek wanted to capture. (SSR)

Berun
this man worked as a government official on the planet Dantooine, during the years following the Mandalorian Wars. He was one of the few natives of Dantooine who supported the Jedi Knights of the time, despite strong anti-Jedi sentiment after the Sith attacked the planet during the Jedi Civil War. After Zherron was removed as the Captain of the Guard, Berun was promoted to take his place. However, Berun was even more inept than Zherron was devious, and Administrator Terena Adare eventually replaced Berun with Zherron. (KOTOR2)

Berus
this was one of the most common surnames found among the human population of Corellia. (GMR9)

Berusa
this is the first planet in the Garos System. (SWJ1)

Beruss, Avan
a member of the Illodian Beruss family, Avan was a crack starpilot who graduated honors from the Illodian Officers' Academy. He was also a decent sharpshooter, and would have represented Illodia in the Imperial Games if they hadn't been canceled with the destruction of the planet Alderaan. Instead of joining the local defense force, Avan joined the Alliance after his childhood friend, Leia Organa, began working with them. Avan had been serving as an aide to his father, Doman, using his skills to pick up the accents of various member worlds. Doman, an Imperial Senator at the time, strongly disagreed with Avan's decision, fearing Imperial reprisal if Avan's actions were discovered. Avan eventually made it to the Alliance, and following the Battle of Endor was given a position with Rogue Squadron. Most of his piloting skills had been learned in the private sector, since he never attended the Imperial Academt. He learned a great deal from Feylis Ardele about Imperial TIE Fighters, augmenting his own piloting skills. When Soontir Fel defected to the New Republic after the Battle of Brentaal, Avan was assigned to be his wingman. Like most members of the Illodian Beruss family, Avan's emotions were basically extinct, until he met Feylis Ardele. He soon found himself falling in love with Feylis, and they worked hard to keep their relationship a secret. (XWES, HXW, MBF, XWM)

Beruss, Doman
a flaxen-haired female Corellian serving with the Alliance, Doman was one of the founders of the New Republic. Beruss later served as chariman of the Republic's Ministry council. Like the Doman Beruss from Illodia, she was named after an ancestor. She was also Avan Beruss' great-aunt. (HTSB, XWES)

Beruss, Doman
a member of the primary branch of the Beruss family, Doman was a native of the planet Illodia. Named for a great ancestor, Doman was a member of a long line of political figures from his homeworld, following in the footsteps of his father, two uncles, his sixth grandfather, and his ninth great-grandmother as the representative to Coruscant's government. Doman was an Imperial Senator and a friend of Bail Organa, which allowed his son Avan to become friends with Leia Organa. Many years later, after joining the cause of the New Republic, it was Beruss who urged Leia Organa-Solo to step down from her position as Chief of State, during the so-called Black Fleet Crisis. (WG, SOL, TT, XWES)

Bervin
this Alliance compatriot of Voren Na'al was killed by a Wampa Ice Creature on Hoth, shortly before the Empire discovered the location of Echo Base and launched its attack. His body was never found, but a blodd-stained rut in the snow indicated where he had been dragged away from one of the wampas. (MTS, GG3)

Beryl
this woman was the aunt of Tash and Zak Arranda. She married Hoole's brother. (GOF1)

Beryllius
this silvery metal was used to create antique-looking metalware. (WSV)

Berzix, Olodondo
this man served as the manager of the Ahto Luxury Resorts on Manaan, during the height of the New Order. (PH)

Besa, Eryl
this red-haired woman was a member of the Jedi Knights, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She was part of the strike force which was sent to Myrkr to locate the voxyn queen, some two years after the invasion began. The daughter ofa fanatic space racer, Eryl was conceived and born on a cross-galaxy run, and grew up in and around starships. Her abilities in the Force manifested themselves as an ability to tell her exact location in the galaxy at any given moment. Her role in the mission was to alert the Jedi team when they approached Myrkr, during their transport in the hold of the Exquisite Death. While in space, she developed a relationship with Raynor Thul, despite the difference in their ages. (SBS)

Besaama
this female Tarasin was one of many in her irstat that struggled to control their connection to the Force. One day, however, she found herself drawn to a singular tree, deep in the jungles of Cularin. The Tree, as she came to think of it, appeared to have been recently struck by lightning. When Besaama found the Tree, she realized that it had a power of its own, and had been calling her to it. Upon finding the Tree, Besaama managed to open it, much to the consternation of the witch of the Wyrd inside it. When Besaama explained that the Tree had called to her, the witch invited Besaama inside to begin her training. Besaama soon learned to control the Dark Side of the Force, and became a member of the Wyrd. Years later, though, she managed to return to the Light Side of the Force, atoning for the evils she had practiced. (LFCW)

Besadii
this is one of the most powerful Hutt kajidics, and was ruled by Aruk during the early years of the New Order. It was Besadii that created the slave trade on the planet Ylesia, placing Teroenza in command while reaping profit both from spice production and slaves. Besadii then established a loose alliance with the Empire, supplying slaves from the Ylesian operation in return for exemptions from taxes. They tried to cripple the Desilijic clan by employing Drell pirates to attack their spice shipments, but they were discovered by the quick piloting and military knowledge of Han Solo. In the aftermath of the Battle of Nar Shaddaa, Besadii began raising the price of processed spice in an effort to weed out the lesser kajidics. When Jiliac called a convocation of the ruling Hutts, Jabba eloquently used the fact that Besadii had escaped from th Battle of Nar Shaddaa without a single loss to sway a vote against Besadii. As a result, the Hutt Council voted that Besadii be fined 1,000,000 credits - to be evenly distributed among the other kajidics - as well as lower the cost of processed spice. (THG, RD)

Besalisk
native to the planet Ojom, this alien race was only vaguely humanoid in stature, having a thick body that was supported by two stubby legs. Males of the species had four heavily-muscled arms sprouting from their sides, with the upper pair being used primarily for gripping and manipulation while the lower pair was used as secondary graspers. Each of the male Besalisk's four hands was studded with three thick, dextrous fingers. Although rarely seen, it was known that female Besalisks had more than four arms, but the necessity for them was unknown. The head of a besalisk was amphibian in shape, with a heavy wattle hanging from the lower jaw. A mustache of sensory whiskers covered the upper lip. A wide, ridged crest covered the skull of the male Besalisk, with a group of tiny feathers providing cover. The presence of the wattle and the feathers on the skull provided clues to the Besalisk race's avian ancestry, and many xenobiologists believed that they were descended from giant birds. The Besalisk's obese appearance was an evolutionary reaction to the frigid temperatures of Ojom, as fatty cells stored water and food for the winter months. Despite their appearance, many Besalisks had excellent memories, and could remember the tiniest of details for many years. (VD2, SWI65, SWI70)

Besalisk
this was the name of the native language of the Besalisk race, which was made up of a series of grunts, growls, and barks. The written form of Besalisk was created from a simple alphabet, and much of the language was communicated via short words. (UANT)

Besberra
this was the primary planet in the Besberra System, and was the primary base of operations for the Zirtran's Anchor space station before it disappeared during the early years of the New Order. (SWJ5)

Bescane
this cool, temperate world is located in the Obtrexta System, and is densely overpopulated and heavily industrialized. The surface of the planet is covered with ugly factories and boxy dwellings, and much of the environment has been destroyed in an effort to obtain raw materials. Most of the workers who toil on the planet were lured there with promises of wealth, only to find themselves heavily in debt to the company which hired them. The planet's goverment is run through the corporate offices of Galentro Heavy Works. The average day on Bescane lasts 30 standard hours, and the year lasts 332 local days. Most of the planet is divided into sections known as "hubs," each with a specialized industry or processing operation. It was here, from among the disconsolate workers, that Moff Jesco Comark kidnapped the subjects for his Death-Hunter cyborg project. (SWJ9)

Be'Seario
this being was one of Yara Grugara's cameramen, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (WOTC)

BesGas
this Tibanna gas processing operation was based in the atmosphere of Bespin, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. After the discovery of the Gorog hive of Killiks, BesGas was one of the primary targets of the Tibanna tappers who began stealing the spin-sealed Tibanna gas for sale on the black market. (DN2)

BesGas Three
this was one of the many saucer-shaped Tibanna gas processing stations that were owned and operated by BesGas, in the atmosphere of Bespin, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (DN2)

Besh
this is second script character of the Aurebesh. It equates to the Basic sound of "b". (SOP, SWM)

Besh
this young man was a Korun, native to the planet Karuun Kal. During the height of the Clone Wars, Besh and his older brother, Lesh, joined the Upland Liberation Front in an effort to free their people from the control of the Balawai. Both brothers vehemently hated the Balawai, an emotion stemming from Besh's capture and torture at the hands of Balawai prospectors, or jups. This particular group of prospectors cut off Besh's fingers, one by one, in an effort to force him to answer questions about the location of lammas groves. Stubbornly refusing to answer, Besh angered his captors so much that they later cut out his tongue, claiming that they wanted to make sure he didn't talk to anyone else, either. Years later, just after Depa Bilabba arrived to unify the ULF, Besh was stung by a fever wasp shortly after Lesh, and began to suffer from the wasp fever. He allowed herself to be injected with thanatizine by Mace Windu, in an effort to arrest the development of the wasp larvae while he and Chalk could be transported to a medical facility. Unfortunately, both Besh and Chalk were brutally murdered by Terrel Nakay, who used a dull knife to cut them until they nearly bled to death. Only the arrival of Kar Vastor saved their lives. Vastor himself executed Terrel, then tried to use his connection to the Force to draw out the fever wasps and heal their injuries. Unfortunately, Besh had been infected by a number of parasitic fungi, and was too weak to recover. He eventually died from his injuries and the fungus which ravaged his body. (SHPT)

Besh Gorgon System
this Mid Rim star system was known as the location of The Wheel. It had not planetary bodies, and was made up of a few rogue comets and several asteroids. (ND)

Besh, Lora
this woman claimed to have been a mistress of Nute Gunray. She wrote the racy tell-all biography, Gunray on Top, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. (HNN4)

Besha
this Rodian and two of her friends - Nesha and Kesha, all unrelated - worked with the Wookiee known as Nerrowr whenever he was on Tolea Biqua, on the planet Genarius, during the height of the Clone Wars. Together, the group was once employed by Riboga the Hutt. (LFCW)

Beshka University
a Kalkal institute of higher learning. (TJP)

Beshqek
this star was the central body of the Beshqek System, located in the Deep Core of the galaxy. (PH)

Besh-Senth-Isk-12
this was an Imperial code phrase used to identify oneself as an Imperial agent on official business. Any soldier or officer who was given the phrase was to respond with the phrase "Pattern Nen-Penth." The user of the Besh-Senth-Isk-12 phrase had to then respond with the number pattern 1, 3, 7, 7. (GMR10)

Besia Osurne
this was the capital city of the planet Sedesia. (SWJ6)

Besk
this was one of the many names given to male Bothans. In the Bothan language, it meant "regal." (GCG, WOTC)

Besk, Elta
this woman was, at one time, the corporate head of Dynamic Automata, having inherited the position from her father - and Dynamic's founder - Metron Besk. In this position, Besk was invited to come aboard the Reaper and attend the Pentastar Talks by Imperial Moff Ardus Kaine, shortly after the Battle of Endor. She agreed with Kaine's plans for the formation of the Pentastar Alignment, fearing that the New Republic's pro-freedom ideals would lead to the revolt or liberation of Entymal laborers under her corporate control. (SWJ3)

Besk, Metron
this man was the founder of Dynamic Automata. He single-handedly built the corporation from a small-time droid manufacturer to a parts supplier for the Empire. Despite his power and control, Besk hated the political backstabbing that his subordinates engaged in to help further their own positions within the corporation. Before he diedm he ensured that the only being with any form of control over Dynamic Automata was his own daughter, Elta. (SWJ3)

Beski, Miko
this man was born on a space station in the Duros System, and lived his entire childhood in space. He joined the Alliance shortly after the Empire subjugated the system, and enlisted to obtain Special Forces training. He eventually was promoted to Lieutenant, and was given command of Team 19, reporting directly to Captain Qarl. Beski was a quick study, and his skills kept him line for a promotion to Senior Lieutenant shortly after the Battle of Hoth. (ROE)

Beskium
this rare, heavy gas was found in the atmospheres of only a few gas giant planets in the galaxy, such as Genarius. Scientists have discovered that the presence of large amounts of beskium is required for the fission-like reproduction of cochlera. (LFC, WOTC)

Besn
a planet known for its artistic participlays. (ISB)

Bespin
this cloud-covered gas giant was the third planet in the Bespin System, which was located along the Ison Corridor in the Anoat Sector, some 49,100 light-years from the galactic core. Because of the mining outpost of Cloud City, Bespin was known for the naturally spin-sealed tibanna gas found in its atmosphere. One of the major variations of the game of sabacc was named for the planet, another for Cloud City. It was located just off the Corellian Trade Route, along the pathway of the Ison Corridor. It was orbited by a pair of natural satellites. The gas giant had a quick rotation, taking only twelve standard hours to complete one revolution. However, its orbital revolution required 14 standard years to complete. Bespin's diameter measured some 118,000 kilometers at the furthest extent of its cloud cover. Much of the cloud cover over Bespin was well over 1,000 kilometers thick, and surrounded an outer core of seething molten rethin and compressed gas some 52,000 kilometers deep. This outer core exceeded 6,000 degrees, and covered a ball of solid metal 12,000 kilometers across. Note that Marvel Comics' Star Wars series, issue 57, depicts the surface of Bespin as a swampy marsh filled with liquified gases. This inconsistency was cleared up by the Planet Hoppers series of artices on the Wizards of the Coast website, which explained that the marsh was actually part of the Ugnaught Surface floating city. (ESB, ZHR, GG2, ISU, JASB, RESB, MC57, WOA33, IWST, PH)

Bespin
this star was the central body of the Bespin System, located in the Outer Rim Territories. (GORW)

Bespin Bandit
this was the name of Uz Bonearm's triangular Corellian transport ship. It was equipped with illegal, military ion guns. (DE2)

Bespin Grand Hotel
this establishment, set in the clouds of the Cloud City outpost, in orbit around the gas giant Bespin, is famous throughout the Outer Rim for its refreshments. (GG9)

Bespin Motors
a manufacturing operation formed specifically for the creation of Cloud City, Bespin Motors was initially a subsidiary of Incom Industries. Following the nationalization of Incom by the Empire, Bespin Motors employees staged a buyout plan to cut off ties to the Empire. After the completion of Cloud City, Bespin Motors turned their attentions to the production of upper-atmospheric vehicles. They build pleasure craft, planetary transports, taxis, and patrol ships, sch as the Storm-IV Cloud Cars used at Cloud City. (SWSB, GG2, JS, EGV)

Bespin Port
one of the finest port wines created in the galaxy. (GG9)

Bespin Sparkle
this sparkling wine was produced on Cloud City during the era of the New Republic. (DN1)

Bespin Standard Form
basic rules of Sabacc (see Sabacc). (DA)

Bespin System
this Outer Rim star system contained a central star and a planet that were known as Bespin. (GORW)

Bespin Thranta
see Common Thranta. (WSW)

Bespin Tours
this small business was based on Bespin's Cloud City, during the height of the New Order. Bespin Tours provided its customers with airspeeder tours of the outpost and the planet Bespin. (GMR3)

Bespin-class Airhook
manufactured by Longspur and Alloi, the Bespin was a small, single-person airhook used for travelling in a planet's atmosphere. The Bespin-class airhook measured just under two meters in length, and was designed to accommodate a single rider. These vehicles were armed with a single laser cannon, which was used primarily for defense against Bespin's airborne creatures, but were also used for firefights. The design for the Bespin-class airhook, which had been produced for many decades before the Battle of Naboo, became the basis for the STAP that was produced by the Trade Federation. (COD, GORW)

Bessimir
this planet was the site of the Fifth Battle Group's final training mission. (BTS)

Best Cargo
this modified freighter measured 35 meters in length, and was armed with a pair of laser cannons and a heavy laser cannon. (GA)

Best Chance
this small shuttle was hidden inside the hold of the Lost Hope, during Corran Horn's mission to infiltrate the Yuuzhan Vong presence on Garqi. The Lost Hope was purposely detonated in Garqi's atmosphere, simulating drive failure. Corran and his team then flew the Best Chance with a dead stick, pretending to be a piece of debris until they were below scanner levels. The shuttle lacked hyperdrive, and thus Corran's team would need to be retrieved once their mission was complete. (DTR)

Bestine
a small farming community on Tatooine, Bestine was the first of the modern settlements established on the desert planet. It was first settled some 99 years before the Battle of Yavin, just prior to the settling of Fort Tusken. The settlement of Bestine was considered the official capital of the planet Tatooine, and was located about 200 kilometers west of Mos Eisley. Historians believed that the name of the settlement originated from the Corellian myth of the bestine gemstone, because the settlement of Bestine was an oasis in the endless expanse of desert. (SWN, GG7, SWTJ, RESB, SOT, SWI84)

Bestine
according to Corellian mythology, the bestine was a brilliant blue gemstone that lured treasure hunters into a vast expanse of desolate wastes, where they died of thirsty or starvation while trying to find it. Many historians believed that this myth had something to do with the naming of the Bestine System, as well as the settlement of Bestine on Tatooine. (SWI84)

Bestine IV
located in the Bestine System, this planet was the site of a high-security Imperial base during the Galactic Civil War. Designed to be a new naval shipyards, the Bestine IV base was built despite the wishes of the native population. The Empire dispossessed the entire population from the planet in order to create a secure environment. The planet, sometimes referred to as simply Bestine, has a number of rocky islands which dotted its vast ocean. (MTS, EGP)

Bestine Sea Anemone
this brilliantly-colored, tentacled mollusk was native to the planet Bestine. (BF5)

Bestine System
