Voontragi
a predator native to the planet Orellon II. (SWJ2)

Voor
this Imperial Lieutenant served on the Star Destroyer Relentless. It was Voor who discovered Alliance agent Dana trying to dispatch information on the bounty for Adar Tallon to the Alliance. (TM)

Voor
this Skeebo was the Kaptain of the Skeebo City Konstabulary force when Anachro was kidnapped by the Skavers. Voor put up minimal assistance in recovering the Hutt, because Voor was secretly in command of the Skavers. He hoped to obtain a huge reward from Gorga the Hutt, but Gorga hired Boba Fett to assist in Anachro's rescue. Fett captured Voor and forced him to lead him to the Skavers' hideout in the Southern Crags. Fett successfully recovered Anachro, much to Voor's dismay. (BF)

Voor Beetle
a species of swarming insect. (GOF10)

Voorg the Thandicant
this was one of the Outer Rim's most notorious slavers. Voorg worked from a base in the Kala'uun Starport on Ryloth, where he controlled much of the slave trade passing through the facility. Despite his less-than-reputable businesses, the Twi'leks of Kala'uun considered selling slaves to any being but Voorg to be smuggling, and often punished others who dealt in Twi'leki slaves by freeing the slaves and imprisoning the smugglers. (ND, PSPG)

Voorhorian
this man was a native of Alderaan. He was part of a group of Alderaanians who traveled to Yavin 4, following the destruction of the first Death Star, to meet with Princess Leia Organa. He was extremely loyal to Leia, and was adamant about restoring the memory of Alderaan. (IS)

Voorlach
much of the trade which occurred on this planet was controlled by the Klatooinan Trade Guild, during the New Order. (PSG)

Voorlach Temple
this ancient ruin was discovered on the planet Krykis IV by Doctor Corellia Antilles. She remembered the dig well, because it was believed to have been a religious site, and was filled with hundreds of mysterious artifacts. However, further investigation revealed that the Voorlach Temple was simply an old marketplace, and the artifacts were merely trinkets that were sold there. (SWJ14)

Voorpak
this tiny, furry carnivore was native to the planet Naboo. The round body of the voorpak was mainly fur, with a thin body supported by eight spindly legs. Their wide eyes and excellent hearing made them successful hunters, and were known to be fearless and loyal. Many of the Naboo considered the voorpak the perfect pet, since it was loyal to its owner and - despite its size - would attack any being who threatened them. Their soft fur also made them retain body heat, making them "living handwarmers." This fur also had a pleasant scent, which mingled with that of their owner. (WSW)

Voors, Hallolar
this young entreprenuer was a native of the planet Jubilar. Some fifteen years before the Battle of Hoth, Boba Fett accpeted a job offer from Jabba the Hutt to kill Voors, who had begun selling black-market spice in defiance of the Hutts' cartel on the substance. Voors was fooled into thinking Fett was a potential seller, and offered to provide regular shipments to the bounty hunter. Fett released a neural toxin, incapacitating Voors' bodyguards long enough to shoot the man, in an alley on Executioner's Row. (TBH)

Voorsbain
the population of this planet was the unknowing target of Uris' first proposed test of his improved nanogene droids. (GMH)

Voorson
manufacturers of large-scale power generators. (ISB)

Voorson, Deen
this idealistic young man was an ardent supporter of the Alliance, despite the fact that much of his family worked for the Empire. He believed that the Alliance was right, and the murder of his parents only strengthened that belief. He joined up as a technician and mechanic, and worked on the Alliance's starfighters at Yavin 4 and Hoth. He tried to gain a favor from his aunt and uncle at the Kuat Freight Port, hoping to maneuver a power generator off the main line and into the pirate ship Long Run, captained by Boo Rawl. While his aunt and uncle gruffly declined to help Deen and the Alliance, his young cousin Shannon had no such reservations. The nine-year-old used her slicing ability to reroute the power generator - using her mother's authorization codes - to the Long Run. Deen was glad for the help, but believed that his aunt had had a change of heart. When he and Rawl discovered Shannon hidden in the Long Run's holds, he reluctantly agreed to bring her along. The Imperial pursuit forced his hand, and he fled Kuat with Rawl, the power generator, and Shannon. (SWJ9)

Voorson, Johan
this starship repairman was part of a long line of Voorsons who dedicated their lives to working within the Kuat Drive Yards. Johan, like many of his relatives, married another KDY laborer, and was somewhat disdainful of the "wandering Voorsons" who left Kuat for broader horizons. His disdain for his nephew Deen - who pleaded with him to release a power generator for the Alliance - eventually led to the loss of his daughter, Shannon. Shannon believed, as Deen did, that the Alliance was rightly battling against the Empire. Shannon sliced into the KDY computers and arranged to get the power generator to Deen's people, then stowed away on Deen's ship. (SWJ9)

Voorson, Nell
this Kuat Freight Port traffic controller married Johan Voorson, and they lived their lives in service to the Empire. She could not abide the actions of her nephew, Deen, and sided with her husband when they refused to help him supply the Alliance with a power generator. Her daughter, Shannon, sliced into the Kuat computer system and arranged for Deen to obtain tha generator, then stowed away on Deen's ship. Nell was on duty when the generator was stolen, and fired on the pirate ship until Shannon's voice suddenly sounded on her comm channels. Her dedication to the Kuat facility failed to completely override her parental instincts, and she directed several transports to move between the Long Run and the Imperial pursuit until Deen's ship escaped to open space. (SWJ9)

Voorson, Shannon
this precocious, nine-year-old child grew up at the Kuat shipyards, watching her parents slave for the Empire's war machine. Her best friends were books and computers, and she learned a great deal about independence and strength from reading Vici of Alderaan. She was an accomplished computer slicer for her age, and looked up to her older cousin, Deen. She admired him for his dedication to the Alliance, and found herself willing to leave her parents to join as well. She sliced into the Kuat Freight Port's duty schedule and helped the Alliance steal a much-needed power generator, and then stowed away on the pirate frieghter Long Run, piloted by Boo Rawl and her cousin, Deen. (SWJ9)

Voort
this was a common male name among the Gamorrean people. Like most Gamorrean names, it was essentially gibberish that indicated what a Gamorrean would do if you made him angry. (GCG)

Voort saBinring
this Gamorrean male was one of several non-humans the Empire performed experiments on, in an attempt to improve the intelligence of certain races to levels at which they could understand Imperial commands and act as soldiers. Known as subject Gamma-9104, Voort was given several brain-enhancing surgeries that expanded his span of concentration and increased his mathematical abilities, but his vocal apparatus were incapable of conveying the Basic language. Thus, he was outfitted with a translator unit which he wore around his neck. He was the only known escapee of the Binring projects, since all the others were either killed or committed suicide in an escape attempt engineered by their creator, Tuzin Gast. Voort took his opportunity and escaped from Imperial control, fleeing to the Alliance. There, he expressed a desire to become a pilot, and took a name which denoted his "creation." He eventually became one of the first members of Wraith Squadron, and was given the nickname "Piggy." His last name is a derivative of the company that "produced" him, Binring Biomedical Product. As a member of the Wraiths, Piggy was the group's hand-to-hand combat expert. He was also the strength of the squadron, and his skills were invaluable during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. He was nearly killed when Jart Eyan tried to execute Admiral Ackbar, but Voort took the blaster shots meant for his superior officer. His Gamorrean physiology allowed him to absorb the blasts, and he was forced to kill Eyan to protect Ackbar. After recovering from his wounds, Voort played a key role in the infiltraton of the Binring Biodemical facility on Saffalore, and helped captured Doctor Edda Gast. Years later, Voort rejoined the New Republic forces at Borleias, when Wraith Squadron met up with Wedge Antilles after the Second Battle of Coruscant. Voort and Sharr Latt were ordered to create the aura of a deit around Jaina Solo, in an effort to trick the Yuuzhan Vong invaders into believing that she was Yun-Harla incarnate. (WS, IF, SOC, EL1)

Vop Hui
an Alliance CR90 corvette that was destroyed while it tried to lay a mine field around Vinzen Neela 5 and capture the Sela freighter group. (TIE)

Vop the Usurer
this greasy Rodian tyrant was known for his grating style and the constant odor of cheap raava which surrounded him. He was completely unaware that his main rival, the Bimm named Ritinki, had murdered his primary accountant Lyle Lippstroot and replaced him with a duplicate. Both crimelords had planned to meet aboard the Song of the Clouds to discuss an alliance, but Ritinki learned that Vop was going to purchase a sealed lockbox from the Ithorians. The lockbox held a Gun of Command, and was desired by virtually every crimelord in the Outer Rim. Ritinki had Lippstroot killed in an effort to acquire the lockbox for himself. Then, in the midst of their meeting, Vop was shot in the back and killed when a firefight broke out. (SWJ15)

Vo-pickup
an audio device which takes incoming sounds and encodes them for transmission to another site. It is basically a microphone. (SME)

Vor
a race of hollow-boned humanoids from the planet Vortex, they have a rack of wings on their backs. They normally lived on the planet's surface, but they have built underground shelters in which they live during the intense seasonal storms. They were a tribal race which didn't have much of an opinion on anything but their music. When Palpatine assumed the role of Emperor, the Vors covered all the holes in the Cathedral of Winds in protest, refusing to let offworlders hear their songs. Even after the Battle of Endor, they reluctantly allowed non-Vors- to visit the planet. In the wake of the destruction of the Catherdral of Winds, the Vors once again shut off all contact with the galaxy. (DA, JASB, UANT)

Vor'cha
this form of stun stick was developed by the Aing-Tii Monks. (KR)

Vor'corkh
this Noghri served as the first dynast of Honoghr during the early years of the New Republic. When Leia Organa Solo trie to prove that the Noghri had been deceived for decades by the Empire, Vor'corkh was the most vocal of those who did not believe her. However, after exposing an espionage droid among those droids that were supposedly restoring Honoghr's crops, and after showing how the Empire's kholm-grass could kill other plants, Vor'corkh was forced to agree with Leia's assessment. (DFR)

Vord'lya
this Bothan was a member of the Alya clan, and revered Borsk Fey'lya above many other Bothans.

Voria's Ember
this quadrant of space within the Karthakk System was named in honor of Voria Sergar, by the Alliance operatives who worked in the system and were acquainted with Voria herself. (SWGAL)

Voritor
this two-meter-long, predatory reptile was native to the planet Dantooine. The voritor moved about on four heavily-clawed feet, which it used to dig into the ground or hold tightly to its prey. A pair of dorsal fins stood high upon its back, allowing the reptile to gather or dissipate body heat as needed. The hide of a voritor was incredibly tough, helping to protect the reptile when it hunted or fought for territory. Xenobiologists could not agree how long these creatures lived, but their lifespan seemed to be in the hundreds of years. (ROD)

Vork
this young, male Gorph was the son of Queen Slugga. The Queen feared that her son woulod never find a princess, and set out to find one herself.

Vorknkx
this Imperial corvette was the first ship to be equipped with the new cloaking device created at the Vorknkx Project's laboratories on To-phalion, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It was during this time that the former leader of the project, Grand Admiral Zaarin, was attempting to kill Emperor Palpatine and take control of the Empire for himself. The attempt failed, and Zaarin fled to To-phalion, hoping to steal the Vorknkx and hide somewhere in the galaxy. Grand Admiral Thrawn tracked Zaarin to To-phalion, and purposely modified the cloaking device on the Vorknkx so that it would not work in hyperspace. When Zaarin stole the ship and tried to make the jump into hyperspace, the Vorknkx exploded, killing all onboard. (SWI66)

Vorknkx Project
this secret Imperial research project was aimed at creating a working cloaking device for starfighters. It was rumored to have been set up on the planet To-phalion, in the Iast System. (TIE)

Vorn, Liegeus Sarpaetius
this man served as Seti Ashgad's holo-transmission faker, during the attempt by Dzym to take control of the galaxy. Born to a wealthy house, Liegeus was a blacksheep who preferred to steal other people's ideas and use them to his own benefit. Early in his career, Liegeus had a romantic affair with Imperial Admiral Daala, but the two wen their separate ways when Daala was stationed at the Maw Installation. Liegeus was employed for his ability to create realistic, highly illegal holo-vids that passed as the real thing. He also had a large part in the construction of Dzym's flagship, the Reliant. Liegeus posed as Ashgad's pilot when the leader of the Newcomers first met with Leia-Organa-Solo. Liegeus created a series of transmissions that helped cover the tracks of Ashgad and Dzym after they kidnapped Leia and disposed of her small fleet of ships. Liegeus, however, realized that Ashgad was not in control, and understood that Dzym was not all that he appeared. Liegeus strove to help Leia where he couldn't help himself. He allowed her to dump out the drugged water Ashgad provided, while secretly providing her with pure water. When the time came, Liegeus helped her get free of her room and escape, although his part in her escape waspunished by Ashgad and Dzym. He was later discovered by Luke Skywalker, who rescued Liegeus from Dzym and brought him tothe Newcomer camp. Liegeus recovered, and once free of Seti Ashgad and Dzym, he helped the reunited Newcomers and Oldtimers begin to rebuild their world. When Daala arrived with the representatives of the New Republic to find Leia and Luke, he was reunited with Daala. The two left Nam Chorios, bound for Daala's reclusive residence on Pedducis Chorios. (POT, ECH)

Vor'Na'Tu
this ancient Jedi artifact was destroyed by Echuu Shen-Jon on the planet Krant, in order to prevent the device from falling into the hands of Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. Note that the Clone Campaigns supplement for Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds indicates that the Vor'Na'Tu was destroyed on Hanoon. (GB, GBC)

Vornax
this desert world was the main planet in the Vornax System, which was located in a remote sector of the galaxy.

(T18)

Vornest Dep-thesel Digarsarg

Vornez
a town on Yavin 4, located near the Alliance's medical center. (LCJ)

Vornskr
this species of canine predator was native to the planet Myrkr. Vornskrs had long, sharp claws and whip-like tails that excreted a mild poison, and they moved about in the forests of Myrkr with exceptional agility and stealth. Zoologists theorized that the bobbing of a vornskr's tail tended to reduce their natural aggression. Those vornskrs that were captured when young and had their tails bobbed were often used for pursuit and killing by hunters who took the time to work with them. Vornskrs were also somewhat sensitive to the Force, and preyed on the ysalamiri. (HTTE, EGA)

Vorol
this pointed-eared being was one of the many smugglers who were sought out by Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca, during their search for Han Solo. Vorol was working on The Wheel at the time that Calrissian and Chewbacca intercepted him, and provided information on the whereabouts of Bossk. (LTA4, MC69)

Voroos
this species of large, legless reptiles was found on a variety of planets throughout the galaxy. They were predatory by nature, relying on stealth and camouflage to trick their prey into getting too close to their mouths. Voroos individuals could attain lengths of ten meters, and lived in moist, marshy areas where they were often mistaken for mossy hillocks or submerged tree trunks. They were considered immobile by most xenobiologists, and it was speculated that they reproduced when the palak beetle transported genetic material from one voroos to another. (COG)

Vorpal Demise
this ZH-25 Questor light freighter was owned by the Alliance. (SWJ5)

Vorrik's Folly
this was the name given to the large mass of orbiting debris created around the planet Esfandia, in the wake of the Battle of Esfandia. It was named for the Yuuzhan Vong Commander, B'shith Vorrik, who had tried to destroy the Esfandia Long-Range Communications Base on the planet's surface. However, faced with the combined forces of the Galactic Alliance and the Imperial Remnant, Vorrik was unable to hold the planet. His flagship, the Kur-hashan was badly damaged in battle, and Vorrik tried to ram his attackers with the dying hulk. The ship exploded before it could do any damage, creating the largest chunks of debris around the planet. The Galactic Alliance worked diligently to make sure none of the orbital debris fell to the planet's surface, protecting both the base itself and the population of Brrbrlpp which lived in the atmosphere. Much of the debris coalesced into an asteroid-sized mass, the primary body in Vorrik's Folly. (FH3)

Vorrin Tal
a famous member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. (RPG)

Vorru, Fliry
this Corellian served the Old Republic as the planetary governor. He assumed the title of Moff after Emperor Palpatine took control of the galaxy, and administered Corellia with a loose hand. He often turned a deaf ear to smuggling and priacy, and the resulting influx of smugglers and pirates tainted Corellia's otherwise spotless history. Vorru was considered to be a rival for Palpatine's position early in the New Order, until Prince Xizor had him arrested and sent to the prison on Kessel on trumped-up charges. This allowed Xizor to take control of the Corellian criminal world and use it as a training ground for his future lieutentant, such as Zekka Thyne. Years later, when the New Republic was trying to find information on Coruscant's defenses, Wedge Antilles liberated Vorru on the condition that he keep an eye on Zekka Thyne. Vorru agreed, and was set loose on Coruscant. He petitioned the New Republic to allow him to create the Imperial City People's Militia, as a way to get the underworld under control without expending addition Republic resources. Basically, the ICPM would mean that the criminals governed themselves, under the control of Vorru himself. The Provisional Council reluctantly agreed, and Vorru set up his militia. However, he had his own agenda, with some direction from Ysanne Isard. The ICPM became a revamped Black Sun criminal organization, and Vorru became its crimelord. He controlled the information going back to the Council, and was even so bold as to apprehend Kirtan Loor. He blackmailed Loor into working for him, and began playing his own aspirations against the demands of both the New Republic and Isard. In the end, Vorru became Isard's man in all aspects, and leaked information about a supposed Palpatine Counterinsurgency Faction attack on his own bacta storehouse. This helped deflect the Republic from the plans of Isard, who then destroyed much of Imperial City while raising the Lusankya from its drydock and fleeing Coruscant. Vorru went with her, and when they arrived on Thyferra, Isard made Vorru her Minister of Trade. When they created the Thyferran Home Defense Corps, Vorru became involved with Erisi Dlarit, and the two spent equal time alone in love and mocking Isard. When the Battle of Thyferra started and began to go the way of Rogue Squadron, Vorru tried to escape form Thyferra in his personal shuttle. He was caught by Elscol Loro and Iella Wessiri. When he tried to escape, Elscol shot him in the throat. However, her weapon had been set to stun by Iella, who wanted to bring him before the New Republic to atone for his crimes. (WG, KT, TFE, BW)

Vor'Teth
this smuggling ship was owned by Rezzo and Drossh during the height of the Clone Wars. The pair used the ship to smuggle all manner of goods into the Cularin System. The ship was badly damaged when the pair caused a shipment of weapons to explode, and later sold as salvage. (LFCW)

Vortex
this planet was the homeworld of the Vors, and the site of the Concert of the Winds. Its rotational axis is very steep, causing extremely sudden seasonal changes. This causes large atmospheric storms to rage across its surface, making landing from orbit difficult at best. It has no natural satellites. It has a temperate climate, and is covered by forests, mountains, and plains. Its day lasts 18 standard hours. Its year lasts 421 local days. (DA, JASB)

Vorzyd 4
this was the name used to describe those Vorzydiaks which were native to Vorzyd 4. (TTW)

Vorzyd 4
this planet, the homeworld of the Vorzydiak race, was the fourth world in the Vorzyd System. Vorzyd 4 was known as the manufacturing center of the Vorzyd Cluster, and produced much of the food and durable goods for the system. Some eleven years before the Battle of Naboo, the Jedi Council was asked to mediate a dispute between Vorzyd 4 and its neighbor, Vorzyd 5. The Vorzydiaks of Vorzyd 4 claimed that the natives of Vorzyd 5 did not want to work for their credits, yet wanted to control the Vorzyd Cluster. The leadership of Vorzyd 4 was unaware that the Freelies were behind the sabotage. Ultimately, the work of Obi-Qan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn helped bring the Freelies and Chairman Port together, and peace was restored - both on Vorzyd 4 and between Vorzyd 4 and Vorzyd 5. (TTW)

Vorzyd 5
this was the name used to describe those Vorzydiaks which were native to Vorzyd 5. (TTW)

Vorzyd 5
known as the Gambler's World during the reign of Emperor Palpatine, Vorzyd 5 was a casino-covered world under Imperial control. The Emperor maintained the planet in an effort to collect large sums of credits for the Empire. Dozens of space-going holopanels and billboards announced the planet's location throughout the system. The various gamblers and party-goers were a mix of the richest and most influential beings in the galaxy, all come to wager their credits in games of chance. Many of the games were heavily rigged, and brought substantial amounts of money to the Empire's coffers. Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa attempted to disrupt the operation shortly after the Battle of Yavin, but were captured in the attempt. They were rescued by Alliance supporters. (CSWEA)

Vorzyd Cluster
this was another name for the inhabited worlds of the Vorzyd System, including Vorzyd 4 and Vorzyd 5. (TTW)

Vorzyd I
this searing ball of rock was the innermost planet of the Vorzyd System. (GORW)

Vorzyd II

Vorzyd III
this terrestrial world was the third planet in the Vorzyd System. It was orbited by a single moon. (GORW)

Vorzydiak
this was the native language of the Vorzydiak race. (GORW)

Vorzydiak
this was the near-human race which was native to the planets Vorzyd 4 and Vorzyd 5. In general usage, those beings native to Vorzyd 4 were referred to as Vorzyd 4's; Vorzyd 5's were the Vorzydiaks native to Vorzyd 5. The average Vorzydiak resembled a human being, but had yellow skin, wider eyes, and a pair of long antennae sprouting from their head. Most Vorzydiaks attended school every day of the week until the age of ten, when they started working one day a week in the factories of their homeworld. Each year, they worked an additional day each week until, at the age of seventeen, they worked full-time, seven days a week. At the age of seventy, a Vorzydiak was allowed to retire, being deemed to old to keep up with the younger Vorzydiaks. Most Vorzydiaks died shortly after retiring, being unable to adapt to life without work. As a people, Vorzydiaks tended to be isolationists, and rarely made contact with other beings or worlds. They were also minimalists, and tended to value conformity and stasis. Among the various peoples of the Commonality, the Vorzydiaks were the first to achieve hyperspacial flight, after the Old Republic provided them with the basic technology. Their exploration of the nine sectors brought many races together, but the efforts of the Vorzydiaks was overshadowed by the exploitation of the Commonality by the Columexi. (TTW, GORW)

Vos
an Alderaanian swear word. (XWRS)

Vos
this was one of the largest, and most powerful, Kiffar clans which were native to the planet Kiffu. (NEGC)

Vos Gesal Hotel
this hotel, located on Coruscant during the last decades of the Old Republic, was popular with entertainers from across the galaxy. Found in the Uscru District, the Vos Gesal Hotel was distinguished by its bullet-shaped building and the spotlights that shone from its domed roof. As its name suggested, the Vos Gesal Hotel was located on Vos Gesal Street, near the Outlander Club. (IWE2)

Vos Gesal Street
this busy thoroughfare was located on the lower levels of the Uscru District of Coruscant. (HNN5, SWDB)

Vos, Asante'
this Kiffar was dispatched to Ryloth to work with Quinlan Vos to locate Aayla Secura. Asante' was a Guardian of Kiffu, and had once been close to Quinlan while he had lived on Kiffu. When Quinlan discovered the existence of Kessel energy spiders in the ryll caves of Ryloth, they were attacked by Asante', who revealed that she had been part of the group which was developing glitteryll. She nearly killed Quinlan, then revealed that it had been herself and Pol Secura who fed Quinlan and Aayla an overdose of glitteryll to erase their memories. Their plan had been to do away with the Jedi without killing them, thereby clearing the way to continue production of glitteryll. Before she could execute Quinlan, Asante' was attacked by one of the huge spiders. (SWT)

Vos, Korto
Quinlan Vos assumed this alias during the years following his return to the Jedi Order, in an effort to gather intelligence on the state of the galaxy as the Separatists began to grow in power. Korto Vos was a former Republican Guard who finished his tour of duty and set out on his own as a mercenary. His base of operations was aboard The Wheel space station, where he was attended to by the Chadra-Fan Tookarti. When one of his operatives, a thief named Khaleen, stole a datadisk containing detailed information about a Separatist on Kamino, Vos decided to allow the disk to return to its owner, the crimelord Zenex. This would ensure that the Separatists did not discover that their plans for Kamino would have fallen into the hands of the Jedi Knights. Zenex, however, discovered that Vos was a Jedi, and threatened to kill Khaleen and Aayla Secura. Aayla, however, was too strong for his pheromones, and managed to kill Zenex before he could eliminate Vos. This served two purposes: it allowed Vos's identity as a Jedi Knight to remain a secret, thus preserving his information network; and it allowed Vos to use a subtle nudge with the Force to convince Zenex's Neimoidian contact that nothing was amiss with the datadisk. He continued to use the Korto Vos alias during the mission to liberate Brentaal from the Separatists, until he was captured by Shogar Tok's troops. Unknown to the Separatists, though, was that Korto Vos and Sagoro Autem had planted a series of explosives. These explosives went off spectacularly, destroying much of the weaponry protecting Tok's fortress and allowing Vos and Autem to escape. Korto returned to Khaleen on Nar Shaddaa, where he found himself pursued by Jedi Master Agen Kolar. Kolar knew who Korto truly was, and was acting on intelligence from Tookarti that Korto had turned traitor and joined the Separatists. While this was exactly the outcome the Jedi Council had wanted when it inserted Quinlan into place as Korto Vos, Agen Kolar was unaware of this background. With the help of Khaleen, who was captured and held for questioning, Korto managed to escape from Kolar. He then set out to confront Tookarti, for selling him out to the Jedi. Korto revealed his true identity to the Chadar-Fan before killing him, further cementing his deep-cover story. With the Korto alias compromised, Quinlan was freed to "defect" from the Jedi Order, allowing him to get deeper underneath the Separatist forces. (RS, J2, RDB)

Vos, Kurlin
this man, the older brother of Tinte Vos, was the Sheyf of the Kiffu many years before the Battle of Naboo. He later ceded control of the Kiffu to Tinte herself. It was Kurlin who allowed the Jedi Master Tholme to take Quinlan Vos to Coruscant for formal Jedi training, despite the arguments of his sister. (DRKN)

Vos, Pethros
this man, a native of the planet Kiffu, was married to Quian Vos. Both were members of the Guardians of Kiffu, and were the parents of the noted Jedi Knight, Quinlan Vos. Both Quian and Pethros were killed when a group of rogue Anzati, under the command of Volfe Karkko, breeched the interdiction of Kiffex to establish a base of operations there. (DRKN)

Vos, Quian
this woman, a native of the planet Kiffu, was the cousin of Tinte Vos and was married to Pethros Vos. Both were members of the Guardians of Kiffu, and were the parents of the noted Jedi Knight, Quinlan Vos. Both Quian and Pethros were killed when a group of rogue Anzati, under the command of Volfe Karkko, breeched the interdiction of Kiffex to establish a base of operations there. (DRKN)

Vos, Quinlan
this young Jedi Knight was a Kiffar who was discovered by Ki-Adi-Mundi and allowed to leave Kiffex to train on Coruscant. Note that Star Wars: Darkness indicates that Quinlan was discovered by Master Tholme. His parents, Quian and Pethros, were members of the Guardians of Kiffu, but were killed by a group of rogue Anzati under the command of Volfe Karkko. His remaining family hoped he would remain loyal to Kiffex first, and Quin vowed to return to his homeworld as often as possible. As a Padawan, Quinlan trained with Obi-Wan Kenobi, and they fought side-by-side with their Masters during the Stark Hyperspace War. His psychometric talents were quite strong, and Quin was quickly raised to the level of Jedi Knight after being trained by Jedi Master Tholme. Quinlan had just started training Aayla Secura as a Padawan when he was captured on Nar Shaddaa by Pol Secura. His memory was erased with an intense overdose of glitteryll, although he still had contact with the Force. He lacked his old discipline, however, and came very close to the Dark Side of the Force before returning to Coruscant. He was later dispatched by Mace Windu and Saesee Tiin to infiltrate the planet Dathomir and locate a connection between the Witches of Dathomir and the disappearance of the planet Ova. He hoped to learn more about matriarch Zalem and her clan, in an effort to link the temples on Ova to those on Dathomir. Quin, distinguished by the stripe of yellow tattoo which crossed his face horizontally, was taken captive and enslaved by Vonya, and earned special notice when he killed a guardian whuffa worm singlehandedly. He was offered a chance to serve as Zalem's personal bodyguard, but he hestiated enough to be relegated to keeping wild kwi. In doing so, Quin learned that of the ancient Kwa and their Infinite Gates. He also learned that, because of his killing of a guardian worm, he was now the guardian of the Star Chamber on Dathomir. He was later recaptured by Zalem, but was rescued by his friend Yag Shushin and Ros Lai, who was herself a Dark Side adept. They were unable to prevent Zalem from unleashing an Infinity Wave at Coruscant, but Quin managed to destroy the command module of the Star Chamber on Dathomir, eliminating the Wave before it hit the planet. He also brought Ros Lai to Coruscant as a prisoner, in the hopes of returning her to the Light Side of the Force. Shortly afterward, Quinlan was recalled to Kiffu by his aunt, the Sheyf Tinte Vos, to help discover the increase in attacks by feral Anzati. Quinlan also discovered that his former Padawan, Aayla Secura, was on Kiffex, under the control of the Dark Jedi Volfe Karkko. With the help of several other Jedi Knights, including Quinlan's former teacher Tholme, Quinlan overcame the Dark Side and defeated Volfe Karkko in one-on-one combat. Instead of returning to Coruscant with the rest of the Jedi, Quinlan left Kiffu with Vilmarh Grarhk, following Master Zao's belief in letting the Force guide his path. He was later reunited with Aayla when Master Tholme was captured by Kh'aris Fenn and imprisoned with Nat Secura on Kintan. They managed to defeat the Morgukai warriors, Tsyr and Bok, and rescued Tholme and the Secura heir. Upon returning to Coruscant, Quinlan Vos was elevated to the rank of Jedi Master, for his work in freeing Master Tholme and helping resolve the upheaval on Ryloth due to Kh'aris Fenn's actions. As the Clone Wars broke out, Quinlan decided that the best way to help was to go underground and infiltrate the Separatists. He adopted the alias of Korto Vos and managed to help the Jedi in a number of arenas, specifically on Brentaal. As Korto, he worked to infiltrate the Separatist network as part of an elaborate plan conceived by the Jedi Council. In a daring move, the Council dispatched Agen Kolar to arrest Quinlan and bring him back to Coruscant for justice. Kolar was unaware of the plan, and was chosen because he would never actually kill Quinlan, despite any "crimes" he might have committed. When Kolar failed to recover Quinlan, it gave him a chance to abandon the Korto Vos alias and reveal himself as a Jedi who had become disillusioned with the Republic and the Jedi Order. After he killed Tookarti, he completed his transformation by delivering his "resignation" to the Jedi Council in a holographic message from a secure location, so as not to be traced. He then traced down Count Dooku on Antar 4, and did what was necessary to win the Count's trust. While on Antar 4, Quinlan learned that Dooku had been negotiating with Sheyf Tinte for the rights to establish a Separatist base on Kiffu. He had managed to win a measure of Dooku's trust when they traveled to Kiffu to complete the negotiations with Tinte. When Dooku ordered Tinte's death, Quinlan couldn't stand by and allow it. He killed Kadrian Sey before she could assassinate Tinte, then took the old woman and fled. However, Dooku apprehended them and forced Quinlan to read Tinte's mind. After learning of Tinte's treachery - how she had murdered her brother, of her dealings with the Anzati Jedi Volfe Karkko, how she allowed the Anzati to keep the prisoners on Kiffex quiet by allowing the Anzati to feed on them, and how she sealed the pact by giving Quinlan's parents to Karkko as sacrifices - Quinlan could no longer control his anger. Although Tinte claimed to have only wanted Quinlan to follow in her footsteps, he refused to listen. When Dooku presented Quinlan with a lightsaber, he eagerly cut down Tinte Vos, killing her on the spot and solidifying his turn toward the Dark Side of the Force. The Jedi Order feared that his turn was complete, but Quin continued to maintain that it was a necessary aspect of his cover. Some six months before the First Battle of Coruscant, Quin was reunited with Obi-Wan Kenobi aboard the Titavian IV, after Obi-Wan answered the ship's distress call. The pair barely escaped from Asajj Ventress and Skorr, and Quin then traveled to Rendili with Obi-Wan. After his brave efforts during the Rendili Fleet Crisis, Quinlan was allowed to rejoin the Jedi Order. Unknown to his friends and the Order, Quinlan's actions were all part of a much more devious plan of Count Dooku's design. After having turned Quin to the Dark Side, Dooku planned to have Quin return to the Jedi Order, as a traitorous double agent. Quin, however, finally realized that the Jedi Order was his true home, and he eventually abandoned the plans of Count Dooku. He kept this change of heart to himself, however, hoping to use his position within the Separatists to locate the second Sith Lord who was working with Dooku. Information gathered from Salje' Tasha led Quinlan to believed that the second Sith was Sora Bulq, and Quinlan agreed to serve as Oppo Rancisis' second-in-command at the Siege of Saleucami in order to get close to Bulq. On Saleucami, he was forced to assume command of the mission when Rancisis was killed by Sora Bulq. His fellow Jedi believed that he was privy to what Master Rancisis had planned, but Quinlan was ignorant of what had been done while Rancisis was in his battle meditation. So, Quinlan was forced to create his own battle plan, which ultimately succeeded in eliminating Sora Bulq. However, the loss of Rancisis weighed heavy on everyone's minds. In the wake of the battle on Saleucami, and after learning that Khaleen Hentz was pregnant with his child, Quinlan vowed to leave the Jedi Order when the Clone Wars were over. Vos later led the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic into battle on Boz Pity, during the Outer Rim Sieges. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Vos was dispatched to Kashyyyk as part of the task force led by Jedi Master Yoda. 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, clone troopers opened fire on Vos, utterly destroying the defenseless Jedi Master. (SWIE, OWS, SWT, DRKN, ROP, J2, RDB, J3, J4, RDR, IS3, RT, RSOS)

Vos, Tinte'
this female Kiffar served as the Sheyf, or the leader of the Guardians of Kiffu, during the last decades of the Old Republic, after her brother Kurlin stepped down from power. She hated the fact that Kurlin allowed Quilan Vos to be taken to Coruscant for Jedi training, wishing instead that he be trained as a Guardian. Before Jedi Master Tholme could leave Kiffu, though, Tinte' used Quinlan's incredible psychometric powers to "read" her cousin Quian's family amulet. Quian was Quinlan's mother, and she was killed when a group of rogue Anzati attacker her ship. Tinte' needed to know how Quian died, and used Quinlan despite Kurlin's objections. Quinlan was deeply affected by the knowledge of his parent's deaths, and Kurlin was left with no choice but to send Quinlan to Coruscant for healing as well as training. Many years later, shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Sheyf Tinte' contacted the Jedi Council about Quinlan's loss of memory at the hands of Pol Secura. When Quinlan returned to Coruscant instead of Kiffu, she demanded that the Jedi Council dispatch Quinlan - her own flesh and blood - back to Kiffu to investigate the destruction of a security outpost. She refused to accept the help of T'ra Saa, the Jedi watchman of the sector, although she would not reveal her true desire. Once Quinlan was on Kiffu, Sheyf Tinte' used his psychometric abilities to discover the reason that a band of feral Anzati were suddenly attacking the Kiffu. However, further investigation by the Jedi Council revealed that Tinte' Vos was incarcerating political prisoners, in addition to criminals, on Kiffex, in direct violation of an agreement with the Old Republic. Mace Windu, Plo Koon, and Adi Gallia were dispatched to the twin planets by Chancellor Palpatine himself to remedy the situation, as well as to rescue the Jedi who were already on Kiffex. Sheyf Tinte' remained free, however, and was approached by Count Dooku, who wanted to establish a Separatist base on Kiffu. Tinte' remained defiant, and Dooku ordered her death. Quinlan tried to stop it, exposing the fact that he was still working for the Jedi Order. He took Tinte' and fled, but Dooku apprehended them and forced Quinlan to read Tinte''s mind. After learning of Tinte''s treachery - how she murdered her own brother because he allowed Quinlan to go to Coruscant for training, her dealings with the Anzati Jedi Volfe Karkko, how she allowed the Anzati to keep the prisoners on Kiffex quiet by allowing the Anzati to feed on them, and how she sealed the pact by giving Quinlan's parents to Karkko as sacrifices - Quinlan could no longer control his anger. Although Tinte' claimed to have only wanted Quinlan to follow in her footsteps, he refused to listen. When Dooku presented Quinlan with a lightsaber, he eagerly cut down Tinte' Vos, killing her on the spot and solidifying his turn toward the Dark Side of the Force. Her memory lived on for many months, haunting Quinlan's dreams and leaving him shaken. (OWS, SWT, DRKN, J4, RSS)

Vos, Zac'ryah
this Kiffar served as a General in the armed forces of his homeworld of Kiffu, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. A veteran of many wars, Zac'ryah was distinguished by his white-streaked hair and the cybernetic eye that replaced his left eye, glowing red and giving him a menacing appearance. When the Battle of Geonosis plunged the galaxy into conflict, General Vos was believed to have died on Kiffu during the skirmish with Separatists that took the like of Tinte Vos. This was eventually proven to be the truth, although Quinlan Vos used Zac'ryah's identity to infiltrate Coruscant and assassinate Senator Viento, during the period of time Quinlan worked directly for County Dooku. Quinlan's protrayal of Zac'ryah was a bit too emotional, especially when Bail Organa suggested that Tinte' Vos had been killed by a Dark Jedi. (RSS)

Vosa, Komari
this woman was being trained as an apprentice to Count Dooku, otherwise known as Darth Tyranus, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. She went rogue just after the Jedi Knights defeated the Mandalorians on Galidraan, after her training was cut short by the Jedi Council. The Council feared that she had become unstable, and pointed to her infatuation with Dooku as evidence. Komari fled Coruscant, but she later joined the task force of Jedi Knights dispatched to Baltizaar. It was believed that she died in the battle at Baltizaar. When he found out she was still alive, Tyranus put a huge bounty on her head, to ensure that Jango Fett accepted the bounty and set out to eliminate her. Tyranus hoped to aqccomplish two things: eliminate any threat posed by the Bando Gora to the plans of Darth Sidious, and test Jango Fett to prove he was a legitimate candidate to serve as the basis for a clone army. Jango discovered that Komari Vosa had become the leader of the very Bando Gora cult she had battled on Baltizaar, after slaying her fellow Jedi and turning to the Dark Side. She believed that the Jedi Order - and Dooku in particular - had abandoned her, and set out to exact revenge against those she now hated. Her weapons of choice were a pair curved lightsabers, similar to the one used by Dooku. Komari Vosa and her followers developed a form of death stick that warped the mind of its user, creating a slave for the cult's own use. She used these drugged slaves to attack her enemies. The cult was eventually smashed by Jango Fett, who managed to confront Vosa on Kohlma. Jango would have killed her if Tyranus hadn't stepped in. Tyranus then explained that he had trained Vosa years before, and used the Bando Gora as a way to test Jango's suitability to serve as the template for the clone troopers that were created for the Army of the Republic.

Vosdia Nooma
this was the name of the title character in the Rodian drama The Trickery of Vosdia Nooma, which was written and produced just before the Clone Wars. Nooma was a poor farmer whose daughter was bitten by an insect and suddenly poisoned. As the community rallied around his family, Nooma began spouting political rhetoric that paralleled the pro-military stance of much of the Old Republic of the time. He eventually got himself elected Baron of the town of Yusk, filled his cabinet with his friends and cronies, and exacted hughe taxes from the farmers of Yusk. He refused to fight back when a veteran Soldier returned from battle to incite the people against him, even when a Paladin arrived to offer his services. The bloody conflict that followed was meant to indicate the future of the Old Republic, should the Military Creation Act not be passed by the Galactic Senate. (HNN5)
