Termo
this man served as an Admiral in the Imperial Navy, and was in command of the Star Destroyer Liquidator during the height of the New Order. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, Admiral Termo was given a set of three holocassettes by Grand Moff Tarkin, with the order to view the first tape if the first Death Star didn't meet them at Delrakkin within a certain amount of time. Termo was initially unaware of the Alliance's victory at Yavin, but opened the first tape when the deadline passed. Although he followed the directions given to him by Tarkin in the first and second tapes, both tapes were stolen by an Alliance agent who managed to infiltrate the Liquidator. The tapes revealed to the Alliance's leadership that Delrakkin was the test site of a device which would prevent starships from entering hyperspace. Upon completing the attack on Delrakkin, Termo was ordered to jump back to the Yavin System, to locate the first Death Star and find out what happened to it. Once in the system, Termo found himself once again facing the Alliance agent who stole his tapes, only this time the agent had managed to place a thermal detonator in the Liquidator's solar ionization chamber. The rebel managed to escape just before the detonator exploded, destroying the ship and killing all aboard. Termo however, managed to reach an escape pod with Communications Officer Tix, and they was able to blast off just seconds before the explosion. (MIS2, MIS4)

Termyte
this insect, which was native to the planet Kubindi, was considered a tender delicacy by the Kubaz race. Most termytes were wood-boring insects that continued to grow throughout their lifecycle, during which time they gnawed a network of caves and tunnels into the tree trunk in which it lived. Because the termyte kept growing as it fed, it became trapped within its tree, as the original hole it bored into the tree was too small to allow its body to pass through. Because of this, termytes laid their eggs in the branches of the trees, so that their larvae can begin burrowing into the tree and work their way downward as they grew. In this way, mature termytes could emerge from a tree trunk near the ground. During the mating season, the females then climbed back up to lay their eggs. (MIS6)

Ternma
this was one of the more common surnames used by the Duros people. Like all such names, Trenma was used only for official business, to indicate one individual from another when in the presense of non-Duros. This name literally meant "mechanic". (GCG)

Teroenza
this t'landa Til was employed by Zavval the Hutt to act as the Most Exalted High Priest of Ylesia. In this position, he was actually in charge of obtaining slave labor to process the Hutt's spice for distribution. Teroenza maintained a lavish suite of offices, and used his resources to amass a wonderful collection of artifacts from across the galaxy. His art collection was extremely valuable, and he kept guards posted at all times. It was Teroenza who sent out a request for a pilot to transfer Ylesian colonists to and from the planet, as well as transport spice to the Hutts. He chose Vykk Drago, who was actually a young Han Solo. While Solo was quite good at flying starships, when he learned of the spice and slaving operations he plotted to breka free of Teroenza's employment. Working with Bria Tharen, Han managed to destroy a major processing facility and escape, but not before stealing much of Teroenza's art collections and killing Zavval during his escape. Teroenza was forced to put out a bounty on Drago. Han never was catpured, and Teroenza became increasingly disgruntled with Besadii's leaderhsip. Following Zavval's death, Kibbick was placed on Ylesia as a figurehead, answering to Aruk and Durga. Teroenza worked with Jabba and Jiliac to assassiante Aruk, and Teroenza himself murdered Kibbick. However, his part in the death of Aruk was discovered by Durga, who employed Boba Fett on a priority bounty to kill the beast. Teroenza managed to survive the initial stages of the Battle of Ylesia, and nearly captured Bria Tharen and Han Solo when Fett appeared. He killed the t'landa Til and removed its horn as proof for Durga. (TPS, THG, RD)

Terpfen
a Mon Calamari, and Ackbar's chief starship mechanic. When the Empire invaded Calamari, he was captured and sent to Carida for Imperial reconditioning. While there, his brain was surgically altered to remove loyalty centers. He was then used by the Empire to build star-ships, and was allowed to escape during a Rebel attack. He has been used as an Imperial spy since then. He was responsible for sabotaging Ackbar's B-Wing shuttle, which crashed into the Cathedral of Winds on Vortex. He was also responsible for planting a homing beacon on the ship Ackbar took to the planet Anoth, and he relayed the coordinates to Furgan, who used them in an attempt to kidnao Anakin Solo. A great battle ensued on Anoth, but in the end baby Anakin was rescued. Furgan tried to escape, but Terpfen used one of the MT-AT's to destroy Furgan. Terpfen later returned to Calamari to help rebuild the planet's floating cities. (DA, COTF)

Terqu, Melin
this man served as the deck officer of the main hangar on deep-space platform 3DC/Green, directing traffic for the Alliance. (HAS)

Terra Derida
this Phindian woman was Baftu's assistant. She was in charge of securing the Syndicat's stronghold in the city of Laressa. She also was suspicious of Duenna's loyalties, but kept the Phindian woman in check with continued threats of renewal. It was later revealed that Terra was the sister of Guerra and Paxxi Derida. She had been "renewed" by the Syndicat at the age of eleven, and retrained by Baftu himself to be a member of the Syndicat. Her mother, Duenna, joined the Syndicat in hopes of returning her original memories to her, but Terra was not strong enough. Terra opposed Baftu's proposed alliance with Prince Beju of Gala, fearing that the Prince was getting more than the Syndicat, and that Baftu was spreading his power too thin. Baftu ignored her, even when she recognized that the Prince Beju who arrived on Phindar was really Obi-Wan Kenobi in disguise. When Baftu discovered that the Syndicat treasury was gone - having been recovered by Qui-Gon Jinn and the Derida brothers and returned to the Phindians - he accused Terra of stealing and covering the theft up by blaming Beju. Baftu had her executed on the spot. When her body was discovered later by Guerra and Paxxi, she died in their arms with a flood of memories about them. (HP)

Terra Sool
this planet, noted for its agriculture and its idyllic cloudscapes, was the site of a major Separatist emplacement during the height of the Clone Wars. Unusual, repulsor-equipped battle platforms were placed in low orbit around Terra Sool, hiding in the clouds. The disk-shaped platforms were studded with turbolasers and crewed by all manner of battle droids. The combined efforts of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi were able to destroy the battle platforms before they could raze the surface of the planet. The clouds of Terra Sool were inhabited by a species of dragon-like, avian creatures. (CWA2)

Terrain-Following Sensor
this starship component was used in a planet's atmosphere to monitor the terrain of a planetary body, providing detailed mappings of the ground formations, treelines, and other possible obstructions. The TFS could also be used to target a destination's location, and guided the ship toward it using various terrestrial formations as guidemarkers. A TFS could be set to fly as near or as far from the ground as desired, and was often used to fly a ship well below the normal operating position of ground-based tracking systems. (HSE)

Terrant Skayanestro
this was the name of one the few Tarro who were living in the galaxy during the early years of the New Republic. (UANT)

Terrarium City
this architectural wonder, located on the now-destroyed planet of Alderaan, was created from a natural depression in the plains of the planet. The depression was deepened, expanded, then sealed to prevent any industrial waste from leaking into the earth. The depression was then filled with a liquid polymer to the level of the first section of the city. The polymer was allowed to harden, then modified battleships used their lasers to carve out the section into a series of open spaces. A three-dimensional pattern was programmed into the weapons systems of the battleships, creating the intricate floorplan envisioned by the city's designers. When one level was done, more polymer was added and etched by the space-borne lasers. In this manner, eighteen layers of living space were created in Terrarium City. Although the lasers served to harden the polymer while carving it, the polymer could be later reshaped if the inhabitants so desired. Thus, much of the city's population could create their own artwork by manipulating the walls of their dwellings. The entire city was capped by a transparent sheet, from which sprouted a number of thin spires used as turbolift shafts and waste elimination systems. (ISU)

Terra-tower
this was the primary form of outpost construction used by the ExGal Society. A terra-tower built upon the natural beauty of the planets the Society used to monitor extra-galactic activity, and only intruded on the planet's natural environment enough to support its sensors and communications requirements. These outposts often resembled walled forts, built to keep out the often-savage wildlife of frontier planets. (VP)

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

Terrik Horn, Mirax
a native of the planet Corellia, she was part of the crew of the Pulsar Skate. When the Skate was intercepted by the Black Asp in the Chorax System, she assisted in the rescue of Corran Horn. When she discovered it was Corran she had rescued, she was not happy. It was Corran's father who had sent her own father to Kessel. She often stayed with the family of Wedge Antilles when her father was on a dangerous run. Later, when her father tried to help Wedge Antilles track down the pirates that were responsible for his parents' deaths, Wedge and Mirax became good friends, almost like a brother and sister. When Booster was sent to the Spice Mines of Kessel, Mirax was not yet of legal age. However, that didn't stop her from taking over her father's businesses, using her own business sense to turn the operation into a profit-generating endeavor just slightly on the illegal side. Later, Mirax often helped the Alliance and the New Republic, by smuggling supplies and weapons to Alliance bases. She was an instrumental part of the plan to convoy bacta from Thyferra to Coruscant during the Krytos crisis, but was not part of the convoy when it was destroyed in the Alderaan System. Instead, she and Liat Tsayv had taken a sample of the bacta in the Pulsar Skate to Borleias for examination. The sample eventually made its way to Qlaern Hirf, who used it in the creation of rylca. Mirax reappeared on Coruscant shortly after Tycho Celchu's trial was called off. During the time leading up to the Bacta War, Mirax became increaslingly in love with Corran, despite their familial differences. When Corran asked her to marry him, shortly before the Battle of Thyferra, she quickly agreed. They were married on the Lusankya by Wedge Antilles, in the wake of the battle, in order to make sure that Booster didn't have his say. Then, they were married in an elaborate ceremony on Coruscant. While Corran continued to fly for Rogue Squadron, Mirax started her own import/export business, convincing people that they needed goods that weren't really necessary. During the Republic's struggle with Grand Admiral Thrawn, she used the business as a cover to fly supplies to, and rescue refugees from, worlds Thrawn had subjugated. When Leonia Tavira started her pirate raids, Mirax appealed to the Republic to let her help catch the young woman, for it would help free Corran up to begin thinking about having a child. However, she was captured shortly after her mission began on Nal Hutta, when the Jensaarai were able to read her intentions. She was held on Suarbi 7/5 until rescued by Corran and Luke Skywalker. (XWN, KT, BW, IJ, IR)

Terrik, Booster
a native of the planet Corellia, Booster was a smuggler and a starship pilot for hire. He was the original owner of the star yacht Pulsar Skate which he used in his endeavors. His wife died shortly after the birth of their daugther, Miraz, and Booster was forced to raise her aboard the Pulsar Skate on his own. Following the death of Wedge Antilles' parents on Gus Treta, Booster helped Wedge hunt down the pirates that caused the incident. They never found them, though, because Hal Horn caught up with Booster and sentenced him to five years in the correctional facility on Kessel. Booster lost his left eye while on Kessel, and had a cybernetic replacement inserted in its place. When Booster got out, he made sure that his daughter, Mirax, was able to work on her own within the law, so that she wouldn't suffer his fate. When she became involved with Rogue Squadron - and specifically Corran Horn - Booster found himself assisting the son of the man who imprisoned him. Booster did much of this for Wedge's benefit, and was more than amenable to creating a smugglers' haven in the space station orbiting Yag'Dhul, in an effort to keep the Rogues hidden after they resigned their commission to the New Republic. Booster worked hard to make the station defensible, and even installed several operable but non-functional weapons implacements. He even found proton torpedoes and concussion missiles for the Rogue's X-Wings when none were available. In a bold plan, the Rogues left the station undefended and tried to draw Ysanne Isard's forces into a trap. Booster's false defenses led the Lusankya's Captain Joak Drysso thinking that he was coming under fire from nearly 500 missile launchers and forced him to flee. The short battle led Booster to capture the Star Destroyer Virulence when Ace Squadron was dragged out of hyperspace by the gravity shadows of the station and the huge Lusankya. Booster convinced Lakwii Varrscha that the Aces were part of his defenses, and she surrendered. Booster and the Aces then took the Virulence to Thyferra and helped turn the tide of the Battle toward the Rogues. After this heroism and smart thinking, Booster asked for the Virulence in return. Airen Cracken balked at first, but Corran Horn cited an obscure salvage law that required Cracken to acknowledge Booster's right to ownership. This surprised Booster, coming from his sworn enemy's son, but that surprise was quickly overshadowed by Mirax's engagement to Horn. Talon Kaarde helped swing the deal by removing the weapons on board and selling them back to the New Republic. Booster obtained the stripped-down Virulence, and renamed it the Errant Venture. He then gutted the ship and turned it into a huge, floating, general store for smugglers and other pilots. For many years, Booster was unable to turn a profit from the ship, and spent most of his credits just keeping it running. He was recruited by his daughter and Iella Wessiri during the investigation into the whereabouts of the Lusankya prisoners, and they discovered several of the plots laid out by Ysanne Isard's clone against Rogue Squadron. However, they were too late to rescue the X-Wings from Distna. They did manage to recover Wes Janson and Asyr Sei'lar, both of whom survived. They kept the secret of their survival when Mon Mothma announced that Rogue Squadron had been destroyed. Janson was returned to Coruscant, though Asyr asked to remain "dead" in order to help change Bothan society. When Borsk Fey'lya approached Booster with a job offer, Booster listened until he discovered that Fey'lya was looking for a Bothan body to take the place of Asyr's in the tomb of the Bothan Martyrs. Fey'lya hinted that any body, even that of a criminal assassinated by one of Booster's people, would suffice. Booster was appalled, and beat Fey'lya to within an inch of his life to show his disgust. Booster later told Iella that he'd rather have Fey'lya as a direcgt enemy, rather than as a player sneaking around in the shadows. Booster was again called upon to assist the New Republic, when the existence of the Camaas Document was revealed. Booster and the Errant Venture were recruited to become the Tyrannic, as part of a ploy to recover a copy of the document from Yaga Minor. They were nearly captured in the attempt, as the Imperial forces knew that the Tyrannic was cloaked over Bothawui. However, the intervention of Admiral Pellaeon swayed the battle to the Republic's side, and the group escaped. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Booster took the Errant Venture and went into hiding. When Jaina and Jacen Solo contacted him about assisting in the rescue of the Jedi students on Yavin 4, Booster agreed primarily because his grandson, Valin Horn, was on the moon. Booster later agreed to house the students of the Jedi praxeum until a safer training facility could be set up. Led by Kam Solusar and his wife, Tionne, the Jedi students traveled to the Maw Installation, where a new facility was created for them to train in secrecy, away from the fighting and the threat of attack. Booster remained at the Maw with the Errant Venture to protect against a possible Yuuzhan Vong attack. When the Yuuzhan Vong finally surrendered to the Galactic Alliance at Coruscant some five years after their invasion began, Booster decided that it was time to pursue more legitimate goals. The galaxy needed to be rebuilt, and there were too many honest ways to make a living. (XWN, BW, SOP, VOF, IR, EVC, NEGC, UF)

Terrik, Mod
an Imperial Captain, Terrik was in charge of training Davin Felth and the other stormtroopers destined for Tatooine, as part of the search effort for R2-D2 and C-3PO. Terrik's bald head helped him stand out from the rest of the recruits. Terrik was known in Imperial circles as a fearless, highly motiviated leader who was willing to sacrifice his troops. Once on Tatooine, Terrik was placed in charge of the Deserts Sands Zeta squadron, and led the attacks on the Jawa sandcrawler and the Lars homestead. These attacks angered Felth, who continued to grow more disgusted with the Empire. When Terrik ordered his troopers to fire on Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon, Felth used the opportunity to shoot Terrik in the back, claiming that Terrik was a victim of the crossfire.

Tesar Sebatyne
this Barabel and his hatchmates, Bela and Krasov Hara, were trained under the tutelage of Tesar's mother, Master Saba Sebatyne, as members of the Wild Knights before joining Luke Skywalker and his Jedi Knights during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Tesar was the only one of the hatchmates who were Saba's direct kin; Bela and Krasov shared a different mother. One of the females shared the same father as Tesar, but Master Saba had no idea which one it was. The three hatchmates shared a deep, jovial bond, and often shared a sissing kind of laughter at one of their many in-jokes. The three students joined the Jedi strike team which was dispatched to Myrkr, in an effort to locate and destroy the voxyn queen. Tesar managed to survive the assault, and later served as one of Jaina Solo's Lieutenants in the Twin Suns Squadron. After Zonama Sekot reappeared near Coruscant, Tesar served as part of the defensive fleet which protected the planet from attack by the Yuuzhan Vong, a mission which was made all the more important while other Jedi Knights trained to fly aboard their new Sekotan starships. Five years later, when UnuThul sent out his call for help, Tesar was among seven young Jedi who dropped whatever mission they were currently on and traveled to the Unknown Regions to answer the call. Unlike Zekk and Jaina Solo, Tesar believed that the Chiss were planning to destroy every hive of the Colony, despite the fact that the Force had given the Jedi no indications of the true nature of the conflict. (SBS, Y, UF, DN1)

Tesc, Dynba
this young woman was a college student at Garqi Ag University when she was captured by Prefect Mosh Barris during an anti-Imperial demonstration. She didn't understand the game she was playing, until she was eventually rescued by Corran Horn. Horn, posing as Eamon Yzalli, had her freed from Barris' prison so that she could pose as Kirtana Loor. She was to gather all her resistance confederates and bring them to liberate the Star's Delight, just as Kirtana brought the crew from the prison. She fled from Garqi with Horn, in an effort to escape the Imperial persecution on the planet, and met Captain Dromath. They fell in love and got married, having a son named Rade before Dromath died in the battles against Grand Admiral Thrawn. Dynba returned to Garqi after his death, but was killed in the initial stages of Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the planet. Her legacy lived on in her son, Rade, who opened her storehouses of supplies and weapons and started an underground resistance against the Vong. (SWJ7, TFE, DTR)

Tescia
this young Ferroan girl revealed that Obi-Wan Kenobi had once been on Zonama Sekot, when Luke Skywalker and the his fellow Jedi located the planet during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Like many Ferroan children, Tescia had heard the stories of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi from her parents. She held none of the bitterness toward the Jedi that her parents did, however, never having experienced one of the many Crossings Zonama Sekot had taken to escape the rest of the galaxy. After Sekot decided to help the Jedi Knights end the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, Tescia declared that the first order of business should be the reclamation of Coruscant. She had heard of the city-world from the stories of Anakin Skywalker, and hoped one day to see the world herself. (FH3)

Teshik, Osvald
this Imperial Grand Admiral was in command of the fleets which patrolled Darpa and Bormea Sectors during the height of the New Order. Teshik had been promoted to the position of Grand Admiral after Emperor Palpatine sent him on a doomed mission against a Hapan battle fleet. Teshik managed to survive, but the majority of his body sustained permanent damage and had to be cyborged. This sudden change turned Teshik inward, and he completely cut himself off from any form of emotion. Palpatine then personally charged Teshik with security in the Ringali Shell, and threatened to execute Teshik if the situation with the privateer vessel Far Orbit wasn't resolved. At the Battle of Endor, Teshik was aboard the second Death Star when the Alliance attack. As the station crumbled around him, Teshik was pinned beneath a falling column. Only a construction worker stopped to help him, freeing teshik and dragging him to safety. Old emotions began to resurface, and Teshik personally rallied the diminished Imperial fleet and continued to battle against the Alliance for more than three hours after the Death Star exploded. Teshik and his ship, the Eleemosynary were then captured by the Alliance, and Teshik was executed for crimes he committed in the name of the Empire. (FOP, SWI66)

Tessek
this fast-swimming predator was native to the oceans of Mon Calamari, and was revered among the Quarren for the way it could attack and cause damage without being noticed. (GCG)

Tessek
a Quarren who was one of Jabba the Hutt's Chief Lieutenants at his palace on Tatooine, Tessek was involved in a number of intrigues. He was working with Prefect Talmont in a plot to kill Jabba, while secretly bribing Talmont's men into killing both Jabba and Talmont. He would then sell any and all of Jabba's criminal empire to Lady Valarian. He planned to keep most of Jabba's "clean" business operations for himself. He had already manipulated many of these businesses into lucrative ventures, with Jabba's blessing. It was Tessek, however, who handled their day-to-day operation, not Jabba, although Jabba was the one listed as the owner. Tessek had managed to bribe into employment many of Jabba's henchmen, including Ree-Yees, Barada, and many of the Weequays. However, when Tessek encountered a disembodied B'omarr monk who seemed to known all of his plans, Tessek began to panic. He had planted a bomb on Jabba's supply skiff, which he would explode when Jabba left the palace. His plan was to have Talmont intercept the barge at Jabba's Mos Eisley warehouse, where both would die. However, the presence of Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker in the palace put many of Tessek's plans in disarray. He tried to warn Jabba of the danger posed by the Alliance, hoping to keep the Hutt in Mos Eisley. Jabba, though, began to distrust Tessek, and ordered him to accompany the sail barge to the Pit of Carkoon. Tessek was trapped. It was Tessek who finally put all the pieces of Luke Skywalker's plan to free Han Solo and destroy Jabba, but the only audience he could find to hear him out was Ephant Mon, who later linked Tessek to an Imperial plot to destroy Jabba. Tessek tried to escape the palace, but he was intercepted by Ortugg, who held him in the palace until Jabba was ready to depart. Jabba then demanded that Tessek stay near him. When Skywalker's plan went into action, Tessek played along with it, shooting a Weequay who would have stopped Leia from strangling Jabba. Tessek managed to escape Jabba's sail barge before it exploded, and returned to the palace. There, he was captured by the B'omarr monks and his brain was disassociated from his body. As an acolyte, he learned that he had more in common with Skywalker, Organa, and Han Solo than he did with Jabba's ilk, and found the true meaning of freedom. (XW, MTS, TJP)

Tessek
this Old Republic Senator was one of Senator Palpatine's stronger supporters. (COD)

Tessent
the history of this chalcedony idol was shrouded in mystery. During the early years of the New Republic, rumors and legends of the Tessent began to spring up throughout the Moddell Sector of the galaxy, after the Imperial presence in the galaxy was removed. It was believed to have been buried on Ast Kikorie, in the tomb of a Dark Jedi, or hidden in a mine on Vasha. These tales and many others drew treasure seekers to the Moddell Sector throughout the era of the New Order, but the Tessent was never found. As more and more lore about the Tessent became known, it was revealed that there were actually two Tessents. Both appeared to be birds with feline heads, but one was attributed to the Ayrou of Maya Kovel, while the other was a representation of the guardian of the ancient Kings of Archais who united Alsakan under a common leader. The Alsakan Tessent was a symbol of patriotism, although many treasure hunters believed that it was also the key to unlocking an ancient storehouse full of riches. Modern rumors pointed to the presence of at least one of the Tessents somewhere in the Kuna systems located in Moddell Sector. (GMR9)

Tesser
this X'Ting warrior was the first of Jesson Di Blinth's hive-brothers to attempt to locate the hidden eggs of the royal line, during the last years of the Old Republic. Tesser had managed to penetrate the Hall of Heroes, but was unprepared for the attacks of the huge worms that were hidden beneath it. Tesser was unable to defeat the worms, so he strapped himself to a high crevice and waited for another chance to escape. Unfortunately, no such chance ever came, and no other X'Ting could locate him, and so Tesser died in his position. Later, Jesson discovered Tesser's body during his own attempt to locate the eggs.

Tessra, Lun
this Imperial Captain commanded the 37th Imperial Fighter Wing aboard the Abrogator during the early years of the New Order. He was in command of the fleet which subdued the Lortan fanatics during the Reslian Purge. However, his pilots felt no loyalty to him during the battles because Tessra was a few weeks from completing his tour of duty, and held back in order to avoid being killed. His place as leader of the 37th was eventually taken by Soontir Fel, and Tessra was given command of a group sent to destroy several Alliance outposts. However, many of his missions ended in failure, and he was re-assigned to the 37th. Fel stepped aside to allow Tessra to take command, while Fel opted to remain a pilot. (MBF)

Testing Screen
this device, also known as an image emitter, was developed by the Jedi Council to test the telepathic abilities of Jedi trainees. It had no buttons or controls, and was manipulated solely via the Force. Contained in the memory banks of the screen were thousands of pictures, which could be displayed randomly or chosen by the user through the Force. This assured that a trainee couldn't oversee what the Master was doing, and guess at a correct answer. Using the screen, a Master could project into it a succession of images, which the trainee would have to interpret via their connection to the Force. (SW1, IG1, PJSB)

Teta
this strong-willed female warrior conquered the system of stars and planets now known as the Empress Teta System, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. In what historians refer to as the First Unification Wars, Teta conquered seven major systems and their primary worlds, including the Koros System. She moved her seat of power to the city of Cinnagar, on Koros Major, and ruled with a fair but strict hand some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. She was aided in her unification of the systems by the Jedi Knights, who realized that stability in the region would allow it to join the galactic community and benefit from trade and commerce. She was assisted by Memit Nadill and Odan-Urr, whom she trusted implicitly. So, when Odan-Urr had a vision foretelling the rise of the Sith Empire, Teta believed him and took him to Coruscant to tell the rulers of the galaxy. When they laughed at him and believed him to be an impulsive young Jedi, Teta returned to Cinnagar to prepare her worlds for the attack. Shortly before the Sith rose up, Jori Daragon returned to Cinnagar and was shot down over Teta's palace. The arrival of the frightened young woman only hardened Teta's resolve to protect her worlds. In what became known as the Great Hyperspace War, the Tetan forces - led by Jori Daragon, using information provided by her brother, Gav - soundly defeated the Sith fleet near the Denarii Nova. She rewarded Jori by giving her the rights to own and operate Aarrba the Hutt's starship repair facility. Teta was succeeded by a number of heirs, but over the centuries the government became fragmented. (DE1, GAS, FOSE, SWJ14, PH)

Teta, Duke
this man was a regular patron of the Galaxies Opera House, during the final years of the Old Republic. (DAG)

Tet-Ami
known as the Time Guardian, this was the unusual being who appeared on the planet Benja-Rihn some 4,000 years before the Battle of Naboo, and helped the natives of Carthas defeat a swarm of savage beasts. Tet-Ami was rumored to control the Orb of Passage, which in turn could control time itself. In a strange twist of reality, Tet-Ami was actually the Jedi Master, Mace Windu. Legends and prophecies predicted that Mace Windu would return the Orb of Passage to the Temple of Tet-Ami, and the Jedi Council guarded the Orb while awaiting the birth of Mace Windu. They then bided their time, never interfering but monitoring the progress of Windu's training. Only when Mace Windu became a full Jedi would the Council relax. Their time to act came when Kruy Mulacks discovered the Temple of Tet-Ami on Benja-Rhin, and the Council had to return the Orb to its resting place. Mace Windu was sent to Benja-Rihn, where he entered the Temple and restored the Orb. It was during this mission that the Orb drew him back in time, where he was able to rescue the natives of Carthas from the attack of the savage beasts. (T13)

Tetan
this was the name adopted by the human natives of the planet Empress Teta. It eventually came to describe any of the humans who inhabited the Empress Teta System of the Deep Core. (PH)

Tetan Crown Jewels
this collection of bejeweled artifacts contained the ceremonial headdresses and heirloom gemstones once held by Empress Teta herself.

Several pieces, including Teta's Knives, remained missing even during the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ14)

Tetan Elite
aristocrats from the Empress Teta system who turned to the Dark Side of The Force. (DE1, DLS)

Tetan Interceptor
originally known as the Koros Interceptor, this planetary defense fighter was developed in the wake of the Great Hyperspace War on the planet Koros Major. When the planet was renamed Empress Teta, the ship became known as the Tetan Interceptor. The four-winged fighter was distinguished by the forward mandibles that protected the cockpit, and which housed the communications and sensor systems. A laser cannon was mounted at the tip fo each wing, and an ion cannon was mounted on the nose of the ship. From tip to tail, the Tetan Interceptor measured 14.2 meters in length. The ship required a pilot and co-pilot to operate. Because its primary mission profile was planetary defense, the Tetan Interceptor was not equipped with a hyperdrive. (PH)

Tetan Shocktroopers

Teth
this planet was controlled by Moff Sarn Shild during the early years of the New Order. He had a palatial estate on the planet, and used it as a gathering place for the fleet which attacked Nar Shaddaa. Teth was located in the Outer Rim Territories, near both the Corporate Sector and Hutt space, and so was strategic to Shild's attack on Nar Shaddaa. Teth's location led its leaders to believe that it was safe from Imperial domination. Bria Tharen met with the planet's leaders, hoping to incite them to open rebellion, but she failed. Boba Fett tracked her here, but lost her when she left the meeting. (THG, RD)
