this manufacturing process is used to create stronger blast armor and plating. It allows normal blast armor to withstand the effects of a thermal detonator at close range. (GMH)

Plasmar
this amoebic race, native to the planet Y'nybeth, is transparent. (POT)

Plasmating
this was a process developed by the Trade Federation, during the last decades of the Old Republic, in which materials were created in such a way that they were reduced to their constituent atoms when damaged. In this way, special diplomatic packages and delivery vessels could be formed to open only with the proper identification - keycodes, biometrics, etc. - and if the package was ruptured or forced open, the contents would plasmate, rendering them useless. (YDR)

Plasmold

this was a specialized form of espionage and combat droids produced by Cestus Cybernetics during the height of the Clone Wars, based on the JK-series of biodroids. In their inert form, plastidroids were amorphous bundles of technology. Hidden within their shells was a collection of magnetically encoded components which, when activated, moved into position to form limbs, weapons, and other implements. These components were made of metal and plastine, and were designed to connect in a myriad of ways. The filmy skin of the plastidroid conformed to whatever new shape the droid assumed, keeping the internal components protected and lubricated. When fully assembled, a plastidroid stood more than five meters in height, and moved about on specialized treads. (TCD)

Plat Hovath
Plat Mallar's father, he was a droid mechanic on Polneye. (BTS)

Plat Mallar
a Grannan from Polneye who fought against the Yevethan invaders during the Great Purge. He was training a group of youths in the TIE Interceptors when the attack came, and he quickly took control of one of the old fighters. He was able to destroy a Yevethan TIE Fighter before he was intercepted by an Imperial-class Star Destroyer. He turned tail and fled into the stars, where he tried to reach someone who could help his people. The Interceptor was later picked up by a New Republic prowler ship and brought to Coruscant. Mallar was sent to the New Republic Fleet Infirmary, where he came under the attention of Admiral Ackbar. Ackbar recognized the potential in the youth, despite the severe exposure to deep-space cold and lack of nutrition. Mallar recovered, and became one of the key witnesses against the Yevetha. He wanted nothing more than to join the Republic's Navy and fly a starfighter against the Yevetha, and Ackbar spearheaded Mallar's acceptance into Naval training. Ackbar also personally oversaw Mallar's early training, placing him in simulations against Yevethan starfighters in order to temper Mallar's hatred while honing his skills. When the orders came that the Republic was blockading the Koornacht Cluster, Mallar was placed on active duty. He was tapped, along with several other pilots to fly recon duty to survey Yevethan forces in the Cluster. Mallar never got a chance to fly, though, as others with more experience were sent out first. Instead, Mallar drew escort duty for the shuttle Tampion, which was supposed to transport Han Solo to the Fifth Battle Group. The shuttle was intercepter by the Yevetha and, despite the best efforts of the escorts, Solo was taken prisoner. He came under intense scrutiny, but was not accused of negligence. He was then attached to the Fifth fleet, as a shuttle pilot on the Mandjur during the Battle of N'zoth. His chance to prove himself came when the Mandjur was hit with Yevethan missiles and rendered powerless. He took Captain Teggett's X-Wing out and rescued several stranded pilots before the Rebublic was able to defeat the Yevethan fleet. (BTS, SOL, TT)

Platform
any stationary, deep-space launch and supply site. There are six basic designs of platforms. Each is built around a central spire or hub, which houses the storage facilities, living quarters, and operations centers. Extending from the central structure are three landing pads which serve are runways, launch and landing sites, and repair and storage facilities. Most platforms measure 250 meters across, and are armed with multiple turbolaser batteries and warhead launchers. They are also well-shielded, with 200-SBD shields protecting 100-RU hulls. The basic types of platforms are: Class 1 Platforms (PLT-1), designed primarily as a landing platform, with minimal living space; Class 2 Platforms (PLT-2), designed primarily as a landing platform, but with more living space than a PLT-1 platform; Class 3 Platforms (PLT-3), an expanded platform with more living space than a PLT-2 platform; Class 4 Platforms (PLT-4), an outpost platform, with minimal living space and small landing pads; Class 5 Platforms (PLT-5), a large platform with a huge living space and large landing pads; and Class 6 Platforms (PLT-6), a large platform that is not armed with a warhead launcher.

Platykona-Zemlo-Mobris
this syhtetic drug was created by Imperial scientists for use in re-education facilities. Commonly known as "pleaz-mo", this drug was a highly-addictive chemical that lowered an individual's inhibitions and made them more susceptible to suggestion. It was found to be too addictive after it was put into widespread use at the Aucellis Park facility, on Keriba VI, and the developers feared that it might lead to increased demand. This, in turn, would force authorities to investigate its source, revealing one of the Empire's secrets. (WOA27)

Pleaz-Mo
this was the popular name for the addictive drug known as platykona-zemlo-mobris. The nickname of "pleaz-mo" was coined from the drug's abbreviation - pl-z-mo, although many criminals believed that the nickname came from the addict's request for "please, more" when they needed a fix. The Imperial scientists who designed the drug found that it was too addictive, and feared that widespread use outside of the Aucellis Park facility would lead to an investigation. Thus, about five years before the Battle of Yavin, production was cut back to support only the requirements of Aucellis Park. (WOA27)

Plett
a Ho'Din Jedi Master from the planet Moltok, he was also a scientist and a botanist. He took up residence on Belsavis about 70 years before Han Solo and Princess went to Belsavis to search for Plett's Well. The Mluki natives said that his ruins indicate that he had been there at least 30 years before that. Plett was rumored to be able to communicate with the animals, and legends say he controlled the weather on Belsavis. His mission to Belsavis had been an important one, to hide a group of Jedi children in the Plawal rift valley to save them from the Jedi purge. (COJ, NEGC)

Plett's Well
another name for the Plawal rift valley on Belsavis. The Mluki called the rift valleys "wells," and so the one that the Jedi Master Plett lived in became known as Plett's Well. (COJ)

Plif explained why the Hoojibs had consumed their power sources, and eventually earned Leia's friendship. After the Alliance team defeated the slivilith which had taken up residence in the Hoojibs' cave, Plif suggested that the Alliance team share the cave with the Hoojibs, working together to build a base and protect themselved from the Empire. In the ensuing months, Plif remained on Arbra to help the Hoojibs and the Alliance personnel integrate their activities to the mutual benefit of both groups. He then accompanied Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa to Kabray station, posing as the delegate from Arbra, with Luke and Leia as his aides, so that they could investigate the whereabouts of Tay Vanis.

Plikk
this lithe woman was one of the many females who scratched their way into a position of command within the Imperial armed forces. She attained the rack of Captain shortly before the Battle of Hoth, although being stationed in one of the galaxy's backwater systems meant that her efforts often went unnoticed. She and her first officer, Lieutenant Nizzon, witnessed the Millennium Falcon suddenly jumping into another dimension of space, when their hyperdrive malfunctioned some time after the Battle of Hoth. They both hoped that the discovery of inter-dimensional travel would earn them great favor with the Emperor. When Captain Plikk and her Imperial forces discovered the inter-dimensional location of Sunn-Childe's floating city, she tried to destroy it using the combined firepower of her ships. Sunn-Childe's anger at being attacked flared up, manifesting itself as powerful demons that crippled the Imperial ships. Appalled at his own violence, Sunn-Childe and his majordome Beelyard decided that there could be no peace without sacrifice. Knowing that the Imperial ships were badly damaged, Sunn-Childe called off the demon attack, allowing Plikk to restart her own assault. Plikk used energy from her ships' hyperdrives to destroy Sunn-Childe's floating city, but in doing so she stranded her fleet in the interdimensional nothingness. (MC46)
