this was a common name given to male Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)

Plo Koon
this Jedi Master was one of the last members of the Jedi Council. As a Padawan, Plo Koon was trained by the Wookiee Tyvokka, until his death during the Stark Hyperspace Wars. A Kel Dor descended from a long line of Jedi Knights, Plo Koon was a close friend of Qui-Gon Jinn. He hoped that the human Jedi Master would someday sit on the Council, but recognized that his friend was much too headstrong to adjust to the Council's rigors. Being a Kel Dor, with enlarged external sensory organs, Plo Koon's grasp and control of the Force was incredible, and he was known among the Council for his warrior skills. Plo Koon was noted for his efforts in rallying the forces of the Old Republic after Master Tyvokka was killed during the Fifth Battle of Qotile. Years later, he was present when Anakin Skywalker was first presented to the Council, and was one of the Jedi Masters who were dispatched to Geonosis to combat the Separatists during the opening stages of the Clone Wars. Master Koon participated in many battles, and was nearly killed near the end of the Clone Wars when he was taken hostage aboard the Mersel Kebir, during Rendili's attempt to secede from the Republic. Master Koon had traveled to Rendili with Saesee Tiin, Captain Jan Dodonna, and Anakin Skywalker, in order to ensure that the planet's fleet of Dreadnaughts was not turned over to the Separatists. If an agreement could not be reached, Master Koon was ordered to destroy the fleet. A bold move by Anakin Skywalker saved the Jedi from having to eliminate the ships, and ensured that Rendili would remain free to join the Republic. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Master Koon was dispatched to Cato Neimoidia, where he assumed control of the planet's forces after Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were recalled to Coruscant. However, when Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu, he sent out communications to the various clone commanders to execute Order 66. Upon hearing the order, the troops that had been supporting Master Koon turned to open fire on him, shooting his starfighter from the sky and utterly destroying the Jedi Master. (SW1, IG1, OWS, SHW, WOTC, RDR, IS3)

Plo, Lomi
this dark-skinned woman was once a student at the Shadow Academy. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Lomi Plo and Welk were captured by the alien invaders and held aboard the Baanu Rass, as part of the group of Force-sensitive individuals used in the creation and breeding of the voxyn. Both Welk and Lomi Plo agreed to help the Jedi infiltrate the worldship and destroy the voxyn, despite the misgivings of Zekk and several other Jedi about their loyalties. However, as the strike force neared the voxyn queen, the Dark Jedi abandoned the Jedi in order to save their own skins. They fled in the ship Tachyon Flier, abandoning Lowbacca but unaware that Raynar Thul was still on board. The young Jedi Knight and his captives didn't escape, and were shot down by Yuuzhan Vong warships. Although they were believed to have died, Welk and Lomi Plo managed to survive the crash-landing of their ship in the Unknown Regions. They were accepted by a small part of the Yoggoy hive, and eventually created the Gorog hive. Lomi Plo herself became known among the Gorog as the Night Herald, and became something of the queen of the Dark Nest. Her incredible connection to the Dark Side of the Force allowed her to completely mask her activities and those of the Gorog, even from Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. In the year following the Qoribu Crisis, Lomi Plo remained out of sight, directing the Gorog and planting various alternate truths in the collective mind of the Colony in an effort to cover her tracks. In this way, Lomi Plo and the Gorog began to slowly disrupt the efforts of the Galactic Alliance, undermining every attempt to create a galactic peace in order to divide the Alliance and conquer the galaxy. Lomi Plo had also discovered that, by sowing distrust among the Jedi Knights, she could literally hide behind - or within - that doubt, thereby hiding her activities from even the most powerful of Jedi. Lomi Plo had Alema Rar deliver contradictory messages to Luke Skywalker about his wife's involvement with Daxar Ies, thereby giving her an opportunity to cloud Master Skywalker's mind without being discovered. During the Gorog hive's attempt to escape the Utegetu Nebula, Lomi Plo found herself confronted by Master Skywalker, who had discovered her ability to hide behind doubt and had managed to cast his own fears aside. Their one-on-one combat nearly resulted in Skywalker's death, until Mara Jade Skywalker managed to break Lomi Plo's hold on Luke by literally scraping the Dark Jedi off him with her X-Wing. Luke's fading vision recalled that Lomi Plo's face had been badly burned and scarred, and he remembered that her eyes had been replaced with Killik implants. In the wake of the battle, it was unclear whether Lomi Plo had escaped, or if she had been killed. (SBS, NJOSB, DN1, DN2)

this Yuuzhan Vong individual was a creche'-mate of Nen Yim. When the Shaper traveled to Zonama Sekot with Tahiri Veila, they found that they both shared memories of P'loh and another creche'-mate, Zhul. They discovered that Nen Yim's own memories had been stolen from her, through the use of the protocol of Qah, by Mezhan Kwaad for the creation of the Riina Kwaad personality that was implanted inside Tahiri's mind. After the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy, P'loh was assigned to the base on Belkadan. She later died on the planet. (FP)

Plook Hartar
this crimelord was a rival of Servid Norn, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Hartar and Norn both believed that they had the best pilots in the galaxy, and set out to prove it. Each nominated a pilot to participate in a race across the galaxy. The winner would be determined by which of the pilots reached the destination first. The race began on Tynna, then required the pilot to obtain a docking permit from each of the following planets: Bothawui, Nal Hutta, Calamari, Almania, Ord Mantell, Fondor, and Bespin. Once all these permits were acquired, the pilot had to make run to Mos Eisley and deliver the permits to the spaceport controllers there. Unknown to Plook Hartar, Servid Norn put a bounty on the head of Hartar's pilot, Scranton Toon, in an effort to ensure victory for his pirates. (GMR6)

Led by Jedi Master Nejaa Halcyon, the Plooriod Bodkin was escorted by eight Jedi starfighters, and carried twelve Jedi Knights and thirty members of the Old Republic's judiciary branch. After Master Halcyon managed to locate the Scarlet Thranta and her rogue Captain, Zozridor Slayke, he set down on Bpfassh to capture them. Slayke, however, knew that the Jedi would not purposely attack his camp, and left his chief lieutenant, Grudo, to challenge Halcyon. As the two fought, Slayke slipped behind the lines and stole the Plooriod Bodkin and escaped. The event became an embarassment to Halcyon, as he returned to Coruscant without Slayke and without his ship. Later, after the battle for Praesitlyn was over, Slayke offered to return the Plooriod Bodkin to Halcyon, but the Jedi Master politely refused. (HNN5, JT)

this was the symbol of a Neimoidian diplomat, worn atop their tall headwear. Lott Dod wore a ploov atop his senatorial mitre. (SWDB)

Ploovo Two-for-One
Ploove was a loan shark, robber, and thief who operated in the Cron Drift during the New Order. He was a human known for his bad temper, a nervous facial tic, and an oily, black topknot. Ploovo was living proof that good breeding and a fine education don't always guarantee one would turn out good. He left those things behind and started working for Jigoba as a minor loan shark. When he felt he was ready, Ploovo struck out on his own, gradually expanding his empire until it stretched beyond the borders of the Corporate Sector. History showed, however, that Ploovo was too subtle or too timid to survive as a crimelord outside the bounds of the Corporate Sector. Thus, he became successful there, but was not well-known to the underworld of the Empire. He wore a wide assortment of faux gem pinky ring, and had no taste in clothing. After Han Solo repaid Ploovo's duplicity by giving him a dinko as payment, Ploovo became mentally unstable when it came to unusual creatures. He spent much of his fortune collecting the taxidermied carcasses and head of creatures, in an effort to show his command over them. (HSE, CSA, HT)

Plooz
this young, green-skinned, alien prince ran away from his father, King Gokus, sometime before the Battle of Yavin. A native of the planet Alzar, he stowed away on a freighter, and wound up on the planet Sooma. The decision to run away from Alzar was not entirely Prince Plooz's, as he was convinced to run away by General Sludd.

Ploven
this aquatic race is native to the planet Gra Ploven. The Empire attempted to subjugate the race, but the Ploven refused to pay what the Imperials called a "defense assessment." In retaliation, the Empire ordered the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Forger to concentrate its firepower on the planet's bodies of water. The resulting super-hot steam boiled 200,000 Ploven alive in three coastal cities. They have a number of fins situated along their back, earning them the derogatory nickname "Finbacks." (SOL)

this near-human man was a native of the planet Demar. Distinguished by his red eyes and the short barbs which surrounded his eyes and temples, Plu operated Ship Shop G-S7 during the height of the New Order. His career started as a technician aboard one of Lant Mining Corporation's transports, and he soon found that he had a knack for starship repair. He quit LMC and went to work on G-S7 as a mechanic, eventually buying out the owner of a small repair facility and renaming it Ship Shop G-S7. A demanding boss, Plu was a shrewd but fair businessman who required a cash payment at the completion of any repairs. He was also an rebel operative who worked for Trep Reskan, and Plu was known to have funneled parts, ship, and information to the Alliance during the era of the Battle of Yavin.

PLX-4
the third generation of Merr-Sonn's "PLEX" missile launcher, the PLX-4 can fire both missiles and standard rockets. It can be used on the shoulder, like the PLX-2M, but can also be mounted on a tripod for greater accuracy. It can use smart GAM missiles, dumb rockets for establishing line-of-sight, or the newer Savant missiles. (TTSB)

PLY 3000
SoroSuub's personal luxury yacht, the PLY 3000 was a 50-meter starship that had three main levels: the main deck, which features a full galley, six deluxe cabins, a dining area, and the bridge; an engineering level below the main deck; and an observation area above the main deck, in the rear.

Pod Beast
this unusual creature was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong to act as a kind of chair or couch. It was developed by the Shapers as an alternative to yorik coral or other rigid forms of furniture. The pod beast could accept large amounts of weight, adjusting its form to cradle the weight in comfort. (T)

Pod-bread
this was a form of bread that was baked on the planet Tatooine during the last years of the Old Republic. (BF5)

Poderis
the primary planet in the Poderis system, in the Orus Sector, Poderis was a "marginal" world of tough, stubborn colonists. The surface of the planet was dominated by lowland slough, leaving the only arable pieces of land situated atop island-like mesas scattered across the land. One of the possible sources of Imperial clones, leaked by Thrawn in an effort to throw the Republic off its search. It had a ten-hour rotational cycle and a severe axial tilt, a combination which created intense windstorms. The planet's inhabitants learned to build huge shield-barriers around their cities to dampen and deflect the winds. (TLC)

Podlong Foahl
this Givin worked for Chief Purser Waverton aboard the Aurorient Express, and was responsible for loading and unloading the cargoes of the wealthier passengers. When the ship was attacked by Fastlach-class droids which were hidden in the cargo bays, Waverton's records indicated that it was Foahl who had supposedly loaded Saul Moegantz's cargo. Moegantz's cargo lot had been swapped out in favor of the droids, leading Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to investigate Foahl's actions in loading the lot. Foahl fled as soon as the Jedi asked him about the cargo lot, not even mentioning the droids. They took Foahl flight as a sign of guilt, and tried to bring him back for questioning. He revealed that he had brought the droids on board for show, as part of a plan to evacuate the ship and steal its more valuable cargoes. However, Foahl was unaware of the true danger that the ship was in. He tried to ensure his survival by threatening to set off a core bomb, but Waverton shot him dead before he could activate the explosive. Waverton later revealed that Podlong had been a pressure pirate, part of the gang who had contracted Waverton to help them steal the cargo from the Aurorient Express. (TAE)

Podpopper
this vegetable was grown in the hydroponic gardens of Tatooine, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (TG)

Podrace Balloon
this is a generic term used to describe the various flotation devices used to hold cameras or bold spectators over a podracing arena. Often filled with tibanna gas, these ungainly balloons hover above the course and allow an unobstructed view of the nearby course. Spectators who ride in podrace balloons often do so at their own risk, because the racers (or their cronies) often shoot them down, hoping to eliminate a potential camera position and allow more underhanded racing to take place. (IG1)

Podrace Cam Droid
similar in design to the Senate Cam Droid, these small automatons employ a tiny repulsor engine to float above a podracing course and supply real-time footage of the race. There are a number of cam droids in operation at one time: usually, one concentrates on each race, while several remain stationary over certain checkpoints or exciting parts of the course. They are designed to operate in a multitude of environments, and the images they collect are sent back to the arena for immediate consumption by podracing fans. (IG1)

Podracer
this is a generic term used to describe any of the small, one-man repulsorcraft used to race across a predefined podracing course. Each pod contains the driver, and is connected by Steelton control cables to the turbine engines that propel the craft forward. The pod contains a repulsorlift engine, that keeps the craft at a specific, low-level altitude. The turbine engines - from two to four per pod - are incredbily powerful, and are connected by an energy binder that keeps them from flying apart. Podracing was popularized in the Outer Rim during the last decades of the Old Republic. Because of the reflexes needed to react to the pod and the course, as well as the dexterity needed to control the pod racer, nearly all pod racers were non-humans. Sometimes, at least four hands were needed to maintain control of the ship, while sharp reflexes and quick thinking were needed to anticipate the course as the small craft are propelled forward at speeds reaching 900 kilometers per hour and more. (SW1, TPM, X1)

Podracing
this sport developed in the Outer Rim in the last decades of the Old Republic, and remained popular even with the advent of the New Order. Podracing involved the maneuvering of repulsor-equiped pod racers around a predefined course. Each race usually required each of up to fifteen opponents to maneuver the course three times. It was considered more dangerous than swoop racing, because the turbines were not directly connected to the pod. This, coupled with the winding, obstacle-filled courses that made up the circuit of races, often meant that pod racers were continually at risk. Because of the reflexes needed to react to the pod and the course, as well as the dexterity needed to control the pod racer, nearly all pod racers were non-humans. At least four hands were needed to maintain control of the ship, while sharp reflexes and quick thinking were needed to anticipate the course. After the wild finish of the Boonta Eve Classic, shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Padracing's popularity reached an all-time high. However, as the political situation in the Old Republic deteriorated, so did the appeal of podracing. Many of the sports generally-accepted criminal activities were exposed to public view, and some of the most popular podracers were arrested for a variety of crimes. The sport was soon outlawed in the Core Worlds. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, it was reported that attendance had dropped more than fifty percent from the era of the Battle of Naboo, although betting transactions remained at an all-time high. Eventually, podracing gave way to swoop racing and other forms of extreme sports. (SW1, TPM, HNN4, JQ3)

Podracing Quarterly
this holo-zine was dedicated to covering the sport of podracing. (YJC1)

Poe
this silver protocol droid belonged to Gror Pernon, and was given to Rogue Squadron after Plourr returned to Eiattu.

this Geonosian grew up in the lowest of castes within the Stalgasin Hive, and was forced to work his way up the societal ladder through cunning and strength. Poggle hated Hadiss the Vaulted, and swore at an eearly age that he would overthrow Hadiss' rule. After causing several small uprisings, Poggle and his followers were arrested and forced to fight in the petrana-ki gladiator arenas, for the pleasure of Hadiss and his cronies. Only Poggle managed to survive, even defeating the acklay Hadiss kept as a surprise, and he assumed the role of Archduke of Geonosis. Shortly afterward, Poggle was contacted by Darth Sidious, who agreed to fund the rebellion against Hadiss in return for battle droid production facilities. Poggle agreed, and his own forces grew quickly with Sidious' assistance. On the Eve of Meckgin, shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Poggle defeated Hadiss and had the other Geonosian devoured by an acklay. He then set to work creating battle droid production facilities for the Trade Federation. It was during this time that Poggle grew to hate Nute Gunray, mainly for the Neimoidian's ineptitude. The failure of the Trade Federation to win the Battle of Naboo only deepened Poggle's hatred. Rather than waiting for new instructions, Poggle developed a superior version of the standard battle droid, shortly before the Clone Wars. In the wake of the Republic's victory at the Battle of Geonosis, Poggle and his lieutenants fled with the Separatists to several remote worlds, always trying to remain one step ahead of their Jedi pursuers. After hiding on Utapau under the protection of General Grievous, the Separatists were taken to Mustafar. It was there, after Darth Sidious finally lured Anakin Skywalker to the Darth Side of the Force, that the Separatist leaders met their deaths. Skywalker was dispatched to Mustafar by Sidious himself, with orders to eliminate them. Skywalker quickly beheaded Poggle, before setting off after the rest of the Separatist leaders.
