Kiana
this secret Tasari order was known as the "warriors of light," and they fought to eliminate the various blood cults that still existed during the height of the New Order. (SWJ15)

Kian'thar
a large, well-muscled humanoid race native to the planet Shaum Hii. The head of a Kian'thar is studded with a pair of large breather tubes and several small, tentacular appendages above its eyes and below its mouth. They are aquatic reptiles, evolved from land-based creatures to live in the oceans. Their skin is formed from a number of tough, scale-like plates that protect it like armor. They are a highly perceptive race, able to detect the emotions of others around them. The Kian'thar travels the oceans of Shaum Hii on bentails, herding the native derlacs as a source of food. Their technology level is therefore below the galactic norm, but this has not bothered the Kian'thar. The location of Shaum Hii has kept the Kian'thar separated from much of the galaxy until about 300 years before the Galactic Civil War, when a Shistavenan exploration group discovered them while charting the sector. The Kian'thar have been divided over how strongly to embrace galactic culture, but the feud has been minor as the Kian'thar are - as a race - content with their lots in life. The Kian'thar have a complex series of familial and leige relationships that are nearly impossible for offworlders to decipher. Among the more unusual aspects is the social requirement which forces fertilized eggs to be passed down through three generations of unrelated, affiliated clans before birth. (GG12, SLS)

Kian'thar
this was the native language of the Kian'thar race. The spoken form of this language consisted of croaks, honks, and bubbling sounds created by the Kian'thar's olfactory tendrils. The written form used a simple alphabet. (UANT)

Kiara
this Sullustan female served as Captain Naren Bluuis' assistant aboard the Nova, during the early years of the New Republic. It was later revealed, during the search for the truth about a Kashi Mer artifact, that Kiara had betrayed Bluuis and the Nova to the Imperial warlord who was in control of Corva Sector at the time. She tried to transfer off Bluuis' ship, in order to avoid being implicated, but was later arrested and imprisoned. (SWJ6)

Kiax
this was one of the trickster gods of the ancient Corellians. (WOA33)

Kiax Nebula
found in the Yarith Sector of the galaxy, the Kiax Nebula was the spinward part of the formation known as the Twin Nebulae. The Kiax Nebula, named for an ancient Corellian trickster god, was actually part of a single, irregular nebula. (WOA33)

Kibbick
this young Hutt was a member of the Besadii clan, and was the nephew of Zavval and Aruk. When Zavval was killed during Han Solo's escape from Ylesia, Aruk installed Kibbick in his place as manager of the spice processing centers on Ylesia. At the time, Kibbick was still able to move under his own power. For all intents and purposes, Kibbick was a figurehead, barely capable of understanding the business of spice and slaves. When Aruk was killed by Teroenza and clan Desilijic, Kibbick remained in charge of the Ylesian enterprise, although he was despised by his cousin, Durga. Teroenza, bolstered by his dealings with clan Desilijic, killed Kibbick himself by ramming the Hutt with his horn, then shooting Kibbick with a blaster to disguise the wounds. Teroenza then blamed Kibbick's death on Red Hand Squadron, even though they were across the galaxy at the time. Durga used this piece of information to begin his plans for retribution against Desilijic. (THG, RD)

Kibbs, Savor
this Force-sensitive man was a native of the planet Naboo. He returned to Naboo shortly before the Battle of Naboo, having been rejected by the Jedi Knights as a candidate for training because he was too old. He returned to Naboo and hid in the swamps, locating a nexus of the Dark Side of the Force to bolster his own powers. He later chose to channel his anger and frustration into helping the Trade Federation defeat the Naboo. When the Trade Federation's forces were defeated by the combined forces of the Naboo and the Gungans, Kibbs came out of hiding and rallied his friends, and planned to launch a suicide mission to destroy Queen Amidala in Theed. Kibbs went so far as to protect his camp during his preparation with a Force-enhanced illusion of Darth Maul. However, a group of agents from the Naboo Underground managed to get to Kibbs before he could launch the mission, with the help of Lialla Tane, and he was defeated in combat. (IOT)

Kibh Jeen
this Jedi apprentice was training under Master Qornah some 160 years before the Battle of Naboo, when the pair ws dispatched to the Cularin System to investigate the Dark Side energies found on Almas. Qornah was more curious than afraid, but Kibh Jeen was unprepared for the power of the Dark Side of the Force. Upon entering the Cularin System, he began to hear the whispers of the Dark Side, and succumbed to the Dark Side fully when he landed on Almas. In a blind rage, he cut down Master Qornah and entered the ancient Sith temple on the planet. After staying in the temple for several months, Kibh Jeen emerged and began taking control of the Cularin System. He and his servants destroyed large portions of the floating cities on Genarius, until his actions were discovered by the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. During what became known as the Dark Jedi Conflict, Kibh Jeen and his minions were rooted out and destroyed by the Jedi. (LFC)

Kibo Lake
this was one of the few bodies of surface water found on the planet Ord Cestus. Surrounded by the Kibo Sands and the Zantay Hills, the lake was the site of a geothermal power facility that was controlled by the Five Families during the last decades of the Old Republic. The fourth-largest body of water on Ord Cestus, Kibo Lake was formed within the fifty-kilometer-wide crater of an extinct volcano. A series of active vents at the bottom of the lake injected chemicals and heat into the water, creating a unique aquatic environment as well as an incredible source of thermal energy. (TCD)

Kibo Plateau
this tableland was located on the planet Ord Cestus. The city of Clandes was situated on the plateau. Also hidden beneath the plateau was the secret bunker of the Five Families, which was destroyed by the warship Nexu during the height of the Clone Wars. (TCD)

They have thick, long fur which is primarily white with black markings around the eyes. They have prehensile fingers and toes, and their long tail is covered with long white fur. They communicate in a series of loud, trilling squawks. Emperor Palpatine had a number of the kichicolia exported for display in his own gardens on Coruscant and Kailor V. (TA)

Kichiir
this Wookiee was a member of the underground resistance in Rwookrrorro, serving under Katarra. Kichiir later joined the Alliance, and proved to be a valuable field agent as a member of the Lightning technical squadron. It was Kichiir's team which rescued Xenon Nnaksta from the bounty hunter Ssach'thirix on Pii 3, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (RD, AIR, SWJ10)

Kick the Ranat
this song was made popular by the Palpatones during the early years of the New Republic. (SWI67)

Kicking the Rancor
this was an Imperial phrase used to describe any foolish stunt in which the risks vastly outweighed the gains. (VOF)

Kid Dxo'la
this balding smuggler lived in the Smuggler's Run, and claimed to be a friend of Han Solo. In fact, it was Kid who first took Han through the Kessel Run. However, after Solo became a vital part of the Alliance, Kid became invovled with Nandreeson, and eventually went to work for the Glottalphib crimelord. When Solo suddenly reappeared on the Run, Kid and his companions Zeen Afit, Wynni, and Sinewy Ana Blue attempted to lure Solo into their confidences. Their machinations were revealed to Solo during a series of encounters. Kid was killed in the firefight on Skip 6, during which Han Solo attempted to rescue Lando Calrissian. (TNR)

Kidriff 5
this planet, the fifth of twelve worlds in the Kidriff System was occupied by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. It was strategic for two reasons: first, it was a wealthy trade depot world along several hyperspace routes; second, its natural resources included several heavy alloys which were used to improve the strength and durability of TIE Fighter hulls. After the Battle of Endor, the system was usurped by the Warlord Zsinj, and represented the furthest point Coreward that his influence extended. The governing body of the planet chose to build it up in the image of Coruscant, so much of the planet is covered by gleaming cityscapes. However, the planet's cities are relatively new compared to Coruscant's, and so the atmosphere is still clear. The Imperial forces there relaxed much of their security measures in order to increase the trade flowing through Kidriff 5's ports. (SOC)

Kidron
this was the second, and primary, planet in the Kidron System, located in the Elrood Sector. It was the homeworld of the Orfite race, but has become a sort of haven for criminals and convicts. It was a hot, damp world that is covered with jungles and oceans. Its day lasted 20 standard hours, and its year lasted 276 local days. Kidron had a thin atmosphere and was barely habitable to most races. The atmospheric make-up, along with the orange light from its star, Kidros, gave Kidron a bright orange sky punctuated by intense sunrises and sunsets. The planet was orbited by four moons. (PG3)

Kidron Flowerbed
this was the brand name of one of the scent tablets produced for use in an Orfite Scent Mask. (PG3)

Kidron Jungle Morning After a Rainstorm
this was the brand name of one of the scent tablets produced for use in an Orfite Scent Mask. (PG3)

Kidron Silk
a wondrous fabric produced on the planet Kidron during the height of the New Order. (OE)

Kidron System Defense
this was the defense force created and funded by the High City Council, to maintain the security of the Kidron System. Known as the KSD, this force was made up almost entirely of non-Orfites, since most Orfites are non-aggressive. (PG3)

Kidros
this orange giant star was located in Elrood Sector, and was the central body in the Kidron System. (PG3)

Kidz ArKade
this was a game arcade set aside for the younger passengers aboard the Reasonable Doubt, during the last years of the Old Republic. (YDR)

Kiela, Harme
a native of the planet Voss, this Imperial pilot led his squadron into hiding on Radix, shortly after the Battle of Endor. There, Kiela and his forces began ambushing New Republic convoys in order to steal food and supplies. When he learned that Air Marshall Von Asch was being held prisoner by the Republic, he hired former Captain Kine to infiltrate the Republic and liberate Von Asch. Kiela hoped the Air Marshall's skills would help the pirates become a formidabel force and begin to restore the Empire. However, Von Asch wanted nothing to do with Kiela's forcesm, labeling them bandits and mercenaries. Kiela's forces were eventually defeated by a ragtag group commanded by Lando Calrissian. (T5, GMR6)

Kieler
a blue and yellow-striped fish species native to Calamari. (DA)

Kier Dom
this is one of the many aliases used by Lirin Banolt. (XWBT)

Kieral
this was a common name among the Zeltron people. (UANT)

Kierra
this was the name given to the female personality of the ship's computer onboard the Kierra, which was owned by Thaddeus Ross. There are no explanations as to how Kierra was "born," and all Thaddeus knew was that she "awakened" shortly after he activated the computer system. Kierra - the computer system - was designed to control the ship even if Thaddeus was incapable of doing so, but much preferred to have Ross around. Kierra - thye entity - was a loyal companion to Thaddeus, even if he mainly thought of her as just a computer. However, over time, their relationship took on a personal nature. When Saahir Ru'luv died in Thaddeus' arms, she made him promise to take someone special to Isamu to witness the nightly romance of the mu trees. Thaddeus, realizing that Kierra meant just as much to him as any organic being, took the Kierra to Isamu to let Kierra experience the event for herself. (TFE, SWJ4, SWJ15)

Kierra
this battered YT-1300 light freighter was owned by Thaddeus Ross. He had installed a sophisticated computer system in the ship, which he could operate via vocal commands. The computer's vocabulator adopted a feminine aspect, and became simply known as Kierra. She was a nagging yet loyal companion to Rose, who threatened to unplug her when she became overbearing. The Kierra was armed with a double laser cannon and a turret-mounted single laser cannon. (TFE, SWJ4, SWJ15)

Kieth Cairn
this individual was severely injured after a visit to Dr. Evazans Cutting Edge boutique in Mos Eisley. (GG7)

(SOG)

Kif
this high-energy ore was mined on the planet Gadon 3. Some fifty years before the Clone Wars, a shipment of Kif ore was eventually sold to enemies of the Gadon regime. The Gadons felt that they had been betrayed by their own miners, and appealed to the Old Republic for a ruling. The Republic's investigation revealed that the original sale had been completely legal, and that the miners were not responsible for the "final disposition" of the ores. The ruling angered the Gadons, and set a precedent for several other cases in which the Republic was negotiating for valuable ores. (TCD)

Kiffar
this branch of human stock evolved on the twin planets of Kiffex and Kiffu. Individuals tattooed their faces with the family colors of their clan, allowing each member of society to understand an individual's heritage. Note that The Essential Guide to Characters indicates that these humans were known as Kiffu. (SWDB, DRKN, EGC)

Kiffex
this planet was the twin world to the planet Kiffu, the only two habitable planets in the Azurbani System. During the last decades of the Old Republic, Kiffex was an interdicted world, controlled by the Guardians of Kiffu and serving as a prison planet. (MTS, DRKN, SWT)

Kiffu
this near-human race was native to the planet Kiffex. Individuals tattooed their faces with the family colors of their clan, allowing each member of society to understand an individual's heritage. Note that Star Wars: Darkness and the official Star Wars website indicate that Kiffex itself was a prison planet, and that the beings native to its sister world, Kiffu, are referred to as Kiffar. (EGC, OWS, DRKN)

Kiffu
this was the sister planet to the world of Kiffex, located in the Azurbani System. The human natives of the planet were known as the Kiffar, and maintained their freedom with a stern hand and a protective nature. During the last decades of the Old Republic, Kiffu was a free planet, from which the Guardians of Kiffu kept a watch on the planet Kiffex, which was interdicted as a prison planet. (DRKN, SWT)

Kiffu, Senni
this was the name Mara Jade used when she and Luke Skywalker emerged from the forests of the planet Myrkr, Luke tried to escape from Talon Karrde's base on the planet some five years after the Battle of Endor. Imperial forces under the command of Grand Admiral Thrawn discovered the escape, and tried to recover them. In order to escape the stormtroopers at Hyllyard City, Luke posed as a man named "Jade", with Senni Kiffu as his prisoner. (HTTE)

Kihm'bar
this was one of the many Noghri clans native to the planet Honoghr. Clan Kihm'bar was led by Ir'khaim in the years following the Battle of Endor. (DFR)

Kihotay, Don-Wan
this was the alias adopted by Hess Korrin, after he was taken to Aduba-3 by his Ithorian manager, in an effort to escape the Imperial Security Bureau. They were shot down over Aduba-3, and Korrin survived by adopting the Kihotay alias. After the Imperials left, Kihotay claimed to be a Jedi Master who had returned from hiding to fight for peace and justice in the galaxy. The yellow-bladed lightsaber he wielded had, in fact, been taken from the antiquities museum he worked for on Obroa-skai, just before it was destroyed. Just after the Battle of Yavin, he joined Han Solo and Jaxxon in liberating a village on Aduba-3 from the clutches of Serji-X Arrogantus and his Cloud Riders. During the battle, in which Merri's grandfather summoned the Behemoth to fight the Cloud Riders, Kihotay sacrficed himself to save Amaiza. Somehow, though, he survived the killing blow, and set out to destroy the Behemoth. Soon joined by Han Solo and Hedji, they managed to defeat the creature. However, despite having his armor protect him from most of the Behemoth's blast, Kihotay suffered massive internal injuries. He was transported to the medical facilities on Telos-4, where he eventually died at the hands of Valance the Hunter. However, Valance managed to learn of the existence of Han Solo and Luke Skywalker from Kihotay's ramblings, and set out to destroy them as well. When Valance bombed what remained of Telos-4, Kihotay was consumed in the blast. (MC8, MC9, MC16, GMR4)

Kihraxz Assault Fighter
this was was the smallest of the fighter craft designs developed for the Black Sun organization by TransGalMeg, during the height of the New Order. The Kihraxz (pronounced "ki-Rax") was similar to the X-Wing fighter in that its central fuselage was a long, boxy needle. The comparisons ended there, as the nose of the Kihraxz fighter was stabilized by a pair of stout fins. The primary wings of the Kihraxz sloped downward from the hull, and supported the two main sublight engines. The maneuverability of the Kihraxz was provided by a third sublight engine mounted to the rear of the fuselage. This craft was designed primarily for speed, so it lacked the armor plating and weaponry of other TransGalmeg designs such as the Ixiyen Fast Attack Craft and the Rihkxyrk Attack Ship. What it lacked in armament, however, the Kihraxz made up for in maneuverability and performance. (SWGAL)

Kiidan
a city on Cilpar. (XWRS)

Kiili
this blonde was one of the two women Chewbacca befriended at a spas located on the campus of the University of Rudrig, several years before the Battle of Yavin. Han and Chewie were in between jobs, just prior to seeking out the Queen of Ranroon with Alexsandr Badure and Hasti Troujow. Both Kiili and her friend, Viurre, were undergraduate students in the field of nonhuman ethnology at the time, and Chewbacca's Wookiee heritage was of extreme interest to them. (HSL)

Kiilimaar
this planet was supposed to be the site where Rneeki pirates would ransom an Imperial scientist back to the Empire. The scientist, an important link in the development of the TIE Defender, was rescued by the Empire. (TIE)

K'iin
this Pedducian Warlord was the leader of the Silver Unifir, and was the ruler who agreed to let the Independent Company of Settlers live on Pedducis Chorios. (POT)

Kiirium
this very common metal was used in the manufacture of artificial shielding. Kiirium was transported in large ingots for smelting. Xim the Despot, realizing the need to obtain huge amounts of kiirium to protect his forces, had planned to stockpile kiirium in his vaults on Dellalt. Thus, the Queen of Ranroon was loaded with kiirium when it was dispatched to Dellalt. When Han Solo discovered the starship's cargo, several years before the Battle of Yavin, he discovered that the rumored treasure of Xim was really just a vast supply of military supplies and raw materials. (HSL)

Kiju Mnuue
this Herglic was at one time the leader of the Guild of Non-Human Skilled Laborers, working at the Tallaan Imperial shipyards for many decades during the New Order. He was a skilled zero-gee welder, cargo inspector, and job foreman, and was instrumental in the formation of the Guild of Non-Human Skilled Laborers. He was also a member of the local Alliance cell on Tallaan, and was often in communication with the Mon Calamari and the Corellian Shipbuilders Unions regarding new Imperial designs. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Kijo was in charge of the shipyards' environmental controls, managing the operation of the life support systems throughout the facilities. (CRO)

Kikipi
this Toong was the King of the planet Toong'L, during the years just prior to the Clone Wars. (HNN4)

Kikorie City
this was ostensibly the capital city of the planet Ast Kikorie. It was connected to the primary orbital telescopes surrounding the planet by a large skyhook. Surrouding the city was farmland and undisturbed natural areas, although fragments of the original telescopes were littered across the landscape surrounding the city. (GMR9)

Kikow
this Ithorian wandered the galaxy during the years following the Battle of Naboo, leaving the relative safety of Ithor for a chance to make more credits for himself. After failing to establish a niche for himself on Albecus, Kikow traveled to Ralltiir and set to work creating his own criminal empire. He specialized in the smuggling of various weapons, primarily thermal detonators, through the small group he called The Herd. Much of his criminal work was masked by his legitimate operation, which specialized in the import/export of herbs and spices for cooking. Kikow himself was a noted chef, and could discern the ingredients in a dish with he keen sense of smell. He could recreate virtually any meal after first tasting it, even if he never saw the recipe. Many of his own recipes made their way to his other legitimate business, the Dusky Sky Café in Camrielle. (PH)

Kikyuna
this was another Huttese word for "friend", although it was less common than pateesa. (TF)

Kil, Kenix
this was the alias used by Kir Kanos to infiltrate Grappa the Hutt's organization. Kenix Kil was a bounty hunter, easily distinguished by his yellow and black armor. Kil's fingerprints had been removed - more to protect Kanos' identity than Kil's - and his helmet contained special voice filters that inhibited any kind of voice printing or vocal identification. After Zee Ethda failed to recover Tarrant Snil, Grappa hired Kenix to do the job. Kenix quickly dispatched Snil's bodyguards and easily captured the customs officer. Kil expressed a distrust of Mirith Sinn, in keeping with his bounty hunter persona. Inside, Kanos was taking every precautioin to avoid her discovering his true identity. (CE2)

Kil, Kenix
this alias was used by Kir Kanos, after he fled the destruction of the Royal Imperial Guard, following his execution of Carnor Jax. The name Kenix Kil was an anagram of Kanos' name, based on a code used by the Royal Imperial Guards. After landing on Baramorra, Kanos assumed the identity of Kenix Kil in order to hunt down Kir Kanos, while actually working to execute Admiral Banjeer's nephew as a traitor to the Emperor's New Order. After killed Banjeer, Kenix Kil set out to hunt down Luke Skywalker. (BHKK)

Kilandran Royal Forces
see Kinlandrin Royal Forces. (PP)

KiLargo's Cantina
this upscale bar and restaurant was located in Mos Espa, on the planet Tatooine, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (BF4)

Kilassin
this reptilian creature was the apex predator of the rainforests of the planet Cularin. However, unlike most predators, the kilassin were omnivorous, and several species consumed prmarily plants. Somewhat intelligent, specimens of kilassin have been captured and domesticated for use as beasts of burden. As more and more logging operations were established on Cularin, the kilassin were driven toward extinction. (LFC)

Kilburn
this independent spacer was one of a growing faction who doubted that pilot droids, such as the Industrial Automaton V1 and V6, would ever be able to fully replace a living pilot. In fact, Kilburn refused to ever fly with - or allow - a droid pilot. (FTD)

Kildaon, Rossi
this woman was hired by the band Distraction as a stand-in for Tzeel at public appearances. She was implicated in the murder of Tzeel aboard the Hutt yacht Sleemo Poya Jeedai when security cameras captured footage of Tzeel's death, but it was later revealed that Niklas Cories had arranged a clever deception. Cories actually disguised himself as Tzeel in order to kill Rossi Kildaon. Cories then drugged the real Tzeel and allowed her to join the band onstage, where she played so poorly that everyone thought she was Rossi. All of this was part of Cories' plot to murder Aquella Firth. (WOA28)

Kile
one of the moons orbiting the planet Zhar, Kile was a world rich in minerals. It was here that Rogue Squadron set up a launchpad for its attack on the moon Gall. Kile orbits wuite close to Zhar, and as a result, Kile's atmosphere is bombarded with magnetic interference. This made the planet somewhat inhospitable as a mining outpost, but it helped hide the Alliance's forces during their staging operation. (SE, SESB)

Kile II
this planet was the site of an Imperial Enclave, which governed the Imperial presence in the sector during the Galactic Civil War. Much of the planet is dominated by canyons and huge pits, evidence of intense seismic activity. (RSG)

Kiles L'toth
this Dornean was the New Republic's associate director of the Astrogation Survey Institute about twelve years after the Battle of Endor. Kiles had previously served with Etahn A'baht in the Dornean Navy. Kiles tried to help A'baht by sending the Astrolabe into the Farlax Sector to scout out the Yevetha. After Etahn A'Baht was relieved of his duties, L'toth was promoted to commander of the Fifth Fleet. (BTS, HT)

Kilgore
this man worked as a security officer at the Palisade starport, on the planet Kabal, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GMR1)

Kilia IV
this temperate planet, located in the Unknown Regions, was noted as the homeworld of the Kilian Bantha. Kilia IV was the only habitable planet in the Kilia System, and was settled by human colonists many millennia before the Battle of Yavin. Over time, they lost their starship technology, and remained isolated from the galaxy for nearly 1,000 years before their planet was encountered by Imperial scouts. (WOTC)

Kiliad Marble
Jabba the Hutt's throne on Tatooine was carved from this beautiful stone. (MTS)

Kilian
this was the name used to describe the human settlers who made their home on Kilia IV many thousands of years before the Galactic Civil War. The Kilians were originally a group of Core Worlds colonists who left their homeworld during one of the Old Republic's earliest expansion periods, and were stranded on Kilia IV. In the intervening centuries, they lost all their starship technology, and became isolated from the rest of the galaxy for more than 1,000 years. Only the chance discovery of Kilia IV by an Imperial scout force brought Kilia IV back into the galactic community. The Kilian society was feudal in nature, with several noble houses controlling communities of farmers and herders. (RESB)

Kilian Bantha
native to the planet Kilia IV, this species of bantha was adapted to living in mountainous regions. They adapted to feed on virtually any form of plantlife, and could go for weeks without water while foraging for food. Their feet were adapted to moving about on rocky inclines, and their fur was thicked and longer than a normal bantha's. Many of these banthas were domesticated by the natives of the planet, for use as mounts when traveling across the mountains. Like other species of bantha, the Kilian bantha was also raised for its milk, meat, and hide. (WOTC)

Kilian Rangers
this was the term used to describe the small band of elite warriors which was established to protect the noble houses of Kilia IV. All members of the Kilian Rangers were sensitive to the Force, and were chosen for their skills in using it. The development of an individual Ranger was much different than that of a Jedi student, but there was similar emphasis on the development of their attunement to the Force. The Kilian Rangers were also similar to the Jedi Knights in that some of their membership fell prey to the Dark Side of the Force. These fallen Rangers became members of the Renegades. (RESB)

Kiliean Bolt Gun
this was an archaic weapon favored by certain noble families of the Empire. (PG3)

Kilit
this species of Zelosian raptor can grow to over a meter in length, and have a wingspan of two meters or more. They are covered with short, oily, black hair. They have beady eyes and razor-sharp beaks. The kilits swoop down on their prey, latching on with their beaks and holding on with their talons. The kilit them drains its victim's bodily fluids. The species was named when a Zelosian, under attack by one of the creatures, shouted "kill it!" to his companions. (PG2)

Kilith
meaning "shrewd" or "cunning", this was a common female name among the Mon Calamari race. (GCG)

Kilk
this small predator hunted the grasslands of Ansion in search of small insects on which to feed. (APS)

Killam
this alien race was native to the planet Quas Killam. (SOJ)

Killaniri
this gas giant is the primary planet in the Killaniri System, and is the source of the prothium gas refined on Mutanda. Killaniri had fifteen moons, and measured some 154,000 kilometers in diameter. Much of the planet's resources were owned or controlled by BlasTech Corporation or Czerka Weapons, which maintained floating refineries in the planet's atmosphere. (PG1)

Killball
this was the term used by biologists to describe the roiling mass of slashrats that attack a single target. The slashrats use their long bodies and surround their prey in a large mass, tearing the prey apart in minutes. (DTO)

Killik
a race of insectile beings once native to the planet Alderaan, the Killiks lived in the towering cities they built on the plains. The Killiks were human-sized members of the Colony, possessing a hive mind but no apparent technology. They built their castle-like buildings out of the natural elements found on Alderaan, and formed them - mound upon mound - to create a complex series of living, eating, and egg-laying grottoes. They apparently decorated their rooms with brilliant, complex mosaics of stones and pebbles which appeared to be little more than splashes of color, until one stepped back and admired the entire wall from a distance. The entire settlement on Alderaan was known as Oroboro, which literally meant "Our Home." However, for some unknown reason, the Killiks left their settlement long before humans ever settled the planet. Although it was believed that they had simply gone extinct, UnuThul later explained that the Killiks had been "emptied" from Oroboro by the Celestials some 20,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. The Killiks left behind their incredibly beautiful cities, which the human inhabitants of Alderaan left untouched for centuries. Exploration of the Killik ruins revealed that the Killik were four-armed insectoids with wicked, three-clawed hands. They also had two powerful legs that indicated the Killik could jump long distances. After the discovery of the Colony's existence in the Unknown Regions, it was learned that the Killiks were just one hive of and entire race of insectile beings known as the Kind. The other hives of the Colony considered the Killiks to be part of the fabled Lost Nest. (ISU, DN1)

Killik
this was the ancient language of the Killik race, which was once native to the planet Alderaan. (GMR9)

Killik Region
this was the term used to describe those areas of the planet Alderaan that were once home to the Killik race. The inhabitants of the Killik Region were simple people who lived their lives in a way that did little or no harm to the region, preserving the legacy of the Killiks. (VD3)

Killik Twilight
this moss-painting, created by the renowned artist Ob Khaddar, depicted a group of Killiks with their backs turned to the viewer, watching an evening storm as it approached their settlement. It was considered one of the most valuable pieces of art which were kept by the Royal Family, and served as a reminder of the planet's ancient inhabitants. Many beings described the moss-painting with awe and reverence, even though they had never been to Alderaan nor seen the Killiks. During the early years of the Alliance, Leia Organa suggested that the codes for the Shadowcast network be hidden within the moss-painting, to ensure their secrecy. Killik Twilight was one of the many artworks which were off-planet when Alderaan was destroyed. However, the ship it was traveling on was believed to be lost, and any hopes of recovering the moss-painting were dashed. Then, some four years after the Battle of Endor, the painting reappeared on Tatooine, where it was to be auctioned off. Leia Organa Solo realized that the moss-painting had to return to the New Republic, since a wealth of information about the Shadowcast program were coded into it. Several attempts were made to recover the moss-painting before it could fall into Imperial hands, drawing Leia into a search that revealed much of her past. Leia's husband, Han Solo, believed that he witnessed Threkin Horm as the site of the auction, when the "owner" of the piece requested account verification from all bidders. The moss-painting was stolen from Mawbo's Performance Hall by Kitster Banai, and was eventually captured by a group fo Sandpeople. The moss-painting was eventually recovered by the Solos, who destroyed the Shadowcast codes before turning it over to their Squib companions, Grees, Sligh, and Emala, in return for their help in recovering it. The Squibs then sold it to the Empire for a steep profit, pretending not to know that it was no longer valuable as a piece of Alliance technology. The painting ended up in the personal collection of Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn, and many of the Imperials who knew of its existence believed it had been lost when Thrawn was killed. However, the painting was recovered by Gilad Pellaeon, who held onto it for many years until the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy was brought to an end. Then, before returning to the Imperial Remnant, Pellaeon returned the painting to Leia Organa Solo. (TG, UF)

Killik-silk
this lustrous, durable fabric was woven from the secretions of certain members of the Killik species that made up the Colony. (DN2)

Killing House
this was the name given to the most intense training facility created in Tipoca City, on the planet Kamino, for the development of the clone commandos who made up the Grand Army of the Republic. The twisting corridors and countless flights of stairs made it exceptionally difficult to navigate through the Killing House, as well as providing perfect ambush locations for the trainers. Clones were sent into the Killing House after receiving their military training, to put their training into operation as a part of a team. Clones were often killed in the Killing House, either from lack of teamwork or a lapse in concentration, but many considered this simply a weeding-out process. In order to ensure that clone commandos didn't get used to the Killing House and anticipate certain attacks, the interior of the Killing House was reconfigured after every training exercise. The amount of reconfiguration varied each time, to further ensure that each mission was unique. (RCHC)

Killisu System
this star system was located along the Gevarno Loop. During the Clone Wars, the Killisu System was loyal to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. (SHPT)

Killscent
this form of pheromone-laden sweat was exuded by slashrats whenever they attacked their prey. The scent attracted other slashrats to the prey, and often generated a feeding frenzy known as a killball. (DTO)
