Pon Rooshan
this female Twi'lek was a cousin of Emen Rooshan, and was part of the head-clan that led the small city of Lohema during the last years of the Old Republic. She hatched a plan to have Emen assassinated, so that she could blame the assassination on the Ku'rys clan and incite an all-out clan war. Pon hated her family, and hoped to survive the bloodshed to take control of both Lohema and Joreikna. (GORW)

Ponc Gavrisom
this Calibop was elected to the position of President of the New Republic shortly after the Almanian incident involving the former Jedi Dolph. The Republic, in a effort to decentralize the power it wielded, began pushing more and moreresponsibility onto the various sector leaders, and appointed a number of Councilors to keep watch over them. Gavrisom found himself in the middle of the Caamas Incident and its repercussions, and was faced with popular opinion that the Republic, in pushing down responsibility, was ignoring the Caamas Incident and the peoples of the Republic. (SOP)

Ponda Baba
the Aqualish who assaulted Luke Skywalker in the Mos Eisley cantina. He was a member of the lower Quara of Aqualish, having fingered hands instead of webbed ones. He was known as an average-skilled smuggler, never really gaining any notoriety. He worked for a while with the Grueshite arms dealer Jothel Merritt, until he met up with a bounty hunter named Jodo Kast on Truuzdann. There, he met Doctor Evazan, and the two of escaped the bounty hunter's notice. Once free of pursuit, Ponda Baba and Evazan continued smuggling, eventually gaining the rights to Han Solo's old smuggling routes from Jabba the Hutt. This led them to be in the cantina when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker entered. Evazan decided that Luke was easy prey, not realizing that Obi-Wan was a Jedi Knight. When Evazan got in over his head, Ponda Baba moved in to help, and had his arm severed by Kenobi's lightsaber. He and Evazan fled the cantina and Tatooine, eventually setting up residence in a rocky castle on Ando. There, Ponda Baba made a deal with Evazan: Baba would keep the Andoan authorities off their backs if Evazan promised to move Baba's mind into a non-disfigured Ando body. As Evazan neared success in his quest to transfer a mind from one body to another, he lured an Andoan senator to the castle and trapped him in the machine. He strapped Ponda Baba in and turned it on. Unfortunately for Ponda Baba, the machine worked in reverse. Instead of Ponda Baba's mind going into the senator's body, the senator's mind was placed into his. The mind of Ponda Baba ceased to exist; his body was destroyed when the senator exploded a thermal detonator in the castle. Evazan escaped, however. (SW, SWR, SCRE, TME)

this Alliance resistance leader once delivered a cargo of culslon gas to Ord Segra. When she and her husband Drogue chose not to pay the 7% "bribe" for clearance, the planetary officials opened fire on them. They escaped by making a blind jump into hyperspace, and ended up at Silver Station. They lived there ever since, delivering weapons to Alliance forces. Her husband Drogue had some sensitivity with the Force, but died before he could realize anything from it. Una continued to supply the Alliance with information and goods, marrying twice more and surviving both husbands. After Toalar Yalom Yalom fled Druckenwell and delivered Daye Azur-Jamin to her, Una trained the young man as an Alliance operative.

this specialized obstacle was used on swoopchasing courses. Similar to the Grand Moff Bank, the Pop 'n' Drop was a tall bank measuring 100 meters or more in height. It was topped with a solid permacrete wall over which the riders must fly. Beyond the wall, the bank dropped off sharply, often plunging 20 meters before forming the "other side" of the bank. Between the two sides of the bank is a ditch up to 30 meters across, adding to the dangerous interchange of gravitational forces acting on a swoop. Outlawed racecourses often employ a variation on the Pop 'n' Drop known as the Suicide Peak. (BSS)

Popara Anjiliac Diresto
this Hutt was known for his keen mind and business acumen, as well as for the gentler rod he used to keep his minions under control. Popara was recognized by his large body, which was mottled with patches of gray skin, and his wide eyes, which seemed to take in everything around him. Popara preferred to use other beings to do his dirty work, taking whatever action was necessary to protect himself against injury. The base for Popara's operations was located in Anjiliac Towers, on the moon of Nar Shaddaa. The primary enterprise of Popara's organization was smuggling, and he made it a point never to deal in slaves - although he owned several himself. During the early years of the New Order, Popara was well into his ninth century of life when he learned that his youngest child, Mika, had been stranded on Endregaad when a plague broke out on the planet. Fearing for Mika's life, Popara called in a debt from a group of freelance agents, hiring them to rescue Mika. Unknown to Popara, Mika was the creator and source of the tempest spice. All Popara knew was that the tempest was taking away huge profits from the sales of other forms of spice, and wanted to find out where it came from. Popara was also unaware that his elder offspring, Zonnos, was angry about Popara's concern for Mika, and wanted his sibling eliminated. He called in the freelance agents again, requesting their help in eliminating tempest and finding the being who was behind the attempt on Mika's life. Shortly after hiring the agents, Popara died from food poisoning in a messy event, as his body swelled to twice its normal size before exploding into hundreds of pieces. The poison was actually a deadly concoction created by Mika himself. (TF, WOTC)

Por Ral, Nij
this portly man worked was a professor of ancient linguistics during the height of the New Order. His knowledge of ancient civilizations led him to be retained by the SoroSuub Corporation to assist with the excavation of a three-mile-long wall on the planet Dorlo, a mission which was condoned only because SoroSuub hoped to later strip the planet of its natural resources. SoroSuub hoped that the runes carved into the wall would provide clues to the locations of valuable resources. The rescue team of Jedi Knight Qu Rahn managed to convince Pro Ral to join their effort in repelling the Imperial forces which arrived on Dorlo to assist in the planet's subjugation, and Por Ral agreed to help as long as it helped keep the relics he discovered from being destroyed. When the team was captured by the Dark Jedi Jerec, it was Por Ral who pleaded for his own life by telling Jerec that it was Rahn who had information on the location of the Valley of the Jedi. Disgusted by his begging, Yun killed Por Ral with a swift lightsaber blow to the head. (RAG)

Measuring 12.7 meters in length, the catamaran-like P-38 had two cylindrical drive unit connected by a platform-like wing. In the center of this wing was the cockpit, which housed the pilot and little else. Armed with a pair of high-powered laser cannons set just off each drive unit, the P-38 was the primary defense craft used by the Utapau Skyforce to protect their homeworld. These ships were designed to be piloted by an Utai, and were given a Class 2 hyperdrive that allowed to travel within the local sector. The navigational computer was hard-coded with this local data, eliminating the need for an astromech. (X3)

Porcellus
a chef who worked for Jabba the Hutt in the Court of the Fountain restaurant. He was probably most famous for his fried beignets, although Porcellus took great pride in other parts of his ever-changing menu. It also kept him alive, for Jabba was always wanting to try new dishes. When Jabba retreated to his palace in the Tatooine desert, he took Porcellus with him. Porcellus lived in constant fear, though, that one of his dished would upset the Hutt's normally strong stomach. At that point, Porcellus felt he would be fed to the rancor. After a number of deaths in Jabba's palace were discovered, Porcellus was told by Jabba that his desires to poison Jabba had hexed the food. The individuals found dead ate food that was destined for Jabba. Porcellus hid in the cabinets, fearing a reprisal from Jabba. When he was later released by Malakili, Porcellus learned that Jabba was dead. The two friends fled to Mos Eisley, where they established the Crystal Moon restaurant. (TME, TJP)

Porg, however, was not the only hunter searching for Katarn. In a three-way firefight, Porg was shot and killed by an Aqualish bounty hunter, who was later dispatched by Katarn. (RAG)

Porgo Goo
this Chortose, along with his brothers, ran a small repair shop in the Minos Cluster. Although not mechanically-inclined as youths, the Goo brothers discovered one day that they had a latent talent for starship engineering and repair. They all display a strange intuitive knowledge of the technologies, but lacked any real education on the theories behind them. They preferred to work on starships and systems that were new to them, and often worked for standard wages just to tinker a little more with new systems. Porgo himself often frequented disreputable cantinas, hoping to meet up with starship captains who needed repairs. (GG6)

Porkins' Formation
an attack formation used by Wedge during his tenure as Rogue Leader, Porkins' Formation was named in honor of Jek Porkins. (TLC)

Porkins, Jek
an Alliance pilot killed during the Battle of Yavin, Jek Porkins was a native of the planet Bestine IV until the Empire evicted the entire population in order to establish a base there. He hunted sink-crabs there, honing his piloting skills much like Luke Skywalker did on Tatooine. Later, he became a free trader, and was so employed when the Empire invaded. He became so angry with the Empire that he immediately turned his sights on the Alliance. He was assigned to the Yellow Aces squadron at Tierfon before volunteering for duty during the Battle of Yavin. He was initially denied a pilot's job in the battle, until Wes Janson came down with the Hesken Fever. Porkins was moved up to fill Janson's spot, and was assigned to Red Squadron. Unfortunately, Porkins was the first pilot killed in the Battle. For his heroic volunteerism and dedication to the Alliance, Porkins was posthumously awarded the Kenobi Medallion. He was the first recipient of the award. Note that Porkins' first name is given as Tono in the Marvel Comics adaptation of Star Wars: A New Hope. (SW, MTS, JS, CCG, MC)

Miatamia demanded that Lando take something as payment for services rendered, and they agreed to look into a way to help Lando protect his Varn ore mining operation. As they fled Cilpar, they were intercepted by the Relentless and what appeared to be Grand Admiral Thrawn returned from the dead. In fact, it was the con artist Flim that portrayed Thrawn, in an effort to bring news of Thrawn's "return" to the New Republic. Miatamia's testimony, as well as that of Calrissian, was suspect to some Senators because of their business proposal. Miatamia was stoic individual who believed that nothing ever happened that could not be anticipated. Miatamia wanted the Caamas Incident resolved, but only if the New Republic had every piece of information it could obtain. Unlike Ghic Dx'ono, Miatamia wanted to ensure that any punishment was correct, even if it took forever. (SOP, VOF)

Porpu, Zan
this Alliance Y-Wing pilot was lost in the Esstran Cordon, a region of space that was not supposed to be dangerous, during the year following the Battle of Hoth. The Alliance turned to their new-found allies, the Bothans, in hopes that the Bothan SpyNet had any information on his disappearance. It was believed that Porpu inadvertently dropped out of hyperspace into a secret Imperial testing ground, and his Y-Wing was shot to pieces. Porpu was believed to have ejected before the fighter exploded, but his whereabout were never discovered. Many feared that he had been captured and interrogated by Imperial forces. (RESB)

Pors Tonith
this Muun served the military forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems as an Admiral during the height of the Clone Wars. Despite his background with the Intergalactic Banking Clan - he was the latest leader of one of the IBC's most ruthless clans, and many considered him to be a dead emotionally as he appeared to be physically - Tonith was also a noted military tactician. He often applied military doctrine to his business dealings, in an effort truly defeat his rivals. A decisive being with more regard for his own safety than that of his troops, Tonith was known to remain safely behind a battle line in a luxurious stateroom aboard his flagship, the Corpulentus, calmly sipping dianogan tea. Tonith was once quoted as saying, "In an army, no one ever sleeps... except me… the brain needs its rest." He believed himself to be above reproach, and considered himself more than adequate when Count Dooku assigned him to lead the assault on the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn. Tonith chafed whenever Asajj Ventress demanded a progress report, instead worrying about reinforcements. Although he firmly believed he had the situation under control, Tonith was unaware that Count Dooku was actually controlling the allocation of resources and troops. The reinforcements he requested were delayed in leaving Sluis Van, allowing an Old Republic task force - led by Nejaa Halcyon and Anakin Skywalker - to infiltrate Praesitlyn airspace and land on the planet's surface. Tonith was unaware of the arrival of his reinforcements, and was unprepared for the daring rescue mission of Anakin Skywalker, who flew through the ground defenses to land at the communications center and break in. With a team of commandos, Anakin was able to free the hostages, which rendered the Separatists' position untenable. Tonith knew this, and was forced to surrender when Anakin apprehended him. He ordered his troops on the ground and his ships in space to stand down, and turned over the communications center to the Republic. He then learned of the arrival of the reinforcements, and was dismayed to know that he could have won the battle if he had just held out a little longer. (JT)

Port
this large, Vorzydiak male served as the Chairman of Vorzyd 4, some eleven years before the Battle of Naboo. He petitioned the Jedi Council to act as mediators in a dispute between his homeworld and Vorzyd 5, some eleven years before the Battle of Naboo. Like his fellow Vorzydiaks, Chairman Port believed that the natives of Vorzyd 5 were sabotaging the manufacturing facilities of Vorzyd 4, in an effort to undermine the leadership of the Vorzydiaks in the Vorzyd Cluster. He was unaware of the fact that the sabotage was the work of the Freelies, who were being led by his own son, Grath. In the wake of the bombing of the Multycorp headquarters and the death of Flip, Chairman Port agreed to work with the Freelies and the governments of Vorzyd 4 and Vorzyd 5 to amend the rules pertaining to the workweek and try to allow for more free time. (TTW)

Port Bianco
this was the name of the shadowport which was originally founded by Lamuu Bianco as a storage and repair facility for the starships in his pirate fleet. When the Old Republic was replaced by the Empire, and smuggling became more and more profitable, the shadowport was opened to all spacers, provided that they had an invitation. The invitation provided the coordinates of a hyperspace bouy in the Tamber System, as well as a password to access the memory of the bouy. The bouy contained the final jump coordinates to Lammax, provided that the correct password was entered. Uninvited guests who didn't know the password to the shadowport were given fake coordinates that led them through the heart of the Tamber System's primary star. The bouy itself was protected from tampering by a sensor system that detects if it is captured by a tractor beam or gravity well. If captured, the bouy was designed to self-destruct. (LOE)

It was a temperate world covered with lush jungles and tall mountains, with sandy beaches along the coastline. The smugglers' base was maintained by Hallomar, with help from Mister Mxil. The planet was originally settled some 250 years before the Galactic Civil War, by a group of Salliche Ag idealists who wanted to get away from the bureaucracy of the galaxy. The original colony was abandoned when many of the settlers were killed by the creatures which inhabited the jungles. The smuggling colony was based on hospitality and good-will, with spacers taking only what they needed and replacing it with whatever they could spare. (SESB, PSPG)

The various cantinas and gambling halls are sprinkled among these bays, making a concerted effort to eradicate them difficult. (GG2, LCJ, ISU)

Portaak
the leaves of this bush provided a form of spice. It was believed that portaak grew only in the jungles of Haruun Kal. It was often dried over smoking chips of lammas wood, to enhance its natural flavors. The sap of the portaak hardened into a form of amber when exposed to the air. This amber was a natural fungicidethat was rubbed onto weapons to prevent them from being corroded by Haruun Kal's environments. This amber was also quick sticky, and helped a warrior maintain their grip on a weapon. (SHPT)

Portable Biosphere
this was an inflatable dome that could be carried like a backpack, but could provide protection for certain harsh environments. A small power supply allowed the user to regulate the temperature within the biosphere, providing heat or cold as needed. (MIS5)

Portable Computer
this generic term refers to any small, self-contained computer systems. Unlike pocket computers, which only allow the user to access data on a large mainframe, portables allow the user to gain control of the mainframe.

Portha
this Trandoshan was living in the Invisible Sector, working for Palar, when the Rogue Squadron infiltrated the planet. He agreed to help the Rogues in their attempt to sabotage the Empire's computer cores. The goal was to plant codes into the cores that would allow Winter to tap into the Imperial network. However, Portha mistakenly dropped the sabotaged data core, and it was returned to the pile.

Posondum, Nil
this small, balding man was once the head accountant for Trans-Galactic Gaming Enterprises Corporation. Prior to joining Trans-Galactic, Posondum worked for the Hutt-controlled Trans-Zone Development and Exploitation Consortium, managing the earnings of a series of skefta dens in the Outer Rim Territories. On the side, he also arranged under-the-table business deals with anyone who could pay the credits. Among his clients was Kodir of Kuhlvult, who contracted Posondum to hire someone to kidnap her sister Kateel and rease any memories she might have, then lose her. Posondum placed the fees for this job in the escrow accounts of Kud'ar Mub'at, and It was Mub'at who eventually hired Ree Duptom to do the job. In the meantime, in a daring move, Posondum had much of the Hutt syndicate's access codes, credit-laundering schemes, and odds-rigging systems stored in a cortical data splint shortly before he left the Hutts to work for Trans-Galactic. His new employer paid a huge sum for the data. He also took with him a huge sum of embezzled credits, stored in remote banks and financial outlets. However, the Hutts weren't very happy with his departure, and established a 12,500-credit bounty on his head. This bounty was claimed by Boba Fett, who had to evade being caught by Bossk and Zuckuss in order to deliver the accountant to Kud'ar Mub'at for exchange. (MA, HM)

Poss'Nomin
native to the planet Illarreen, this species of humanoids was distinguished by its three eyes and shovel-like jaws. They were discovered about 100 years before the Battle of Yavin by a spice trader who decided to investigate Illarreen. Their civilization had developed to the point that their nations had started warring against each other when the planet was discovered by spice traders. The Poss'Nomin ceased their fighting to communicate with the off-worlders, and soon discovered that there was much more to worry about than their petty squabbles. The Poss'Nomin put down their weapons and began to integrate themsevles into the galactic culture. The warring nations collapsed their boundaries and joined to form a single, planetary government.

Post, Avan
this Jedi Master from Chandrila served with distinction during the Clone Wars. Corran Horn discovered Post's image in the bowels of the Galactic Museum, during his escape from the Lusankya facility. (KT)

Post, Ilir
this young man was a contemporary of Soontir Fel, and was the spoiled son of Fel's employers. When Fel rescued Pamr from one of Post's attacks, Post's father saw to it that Fel was shipped off to the Imperial Academy on Carida. Hal Horn pressed the investigation after Fel waqs shipped off, and had Post arrested. Post was eventually convicted and sent to the spice mines of Kessel, despite the efforts of AGR's leaders. Post's hatred of the Fels grew quite strong during his imprisonment. Several years later, after Soontir Fel defected to the New Republic, Corran Horn revealed that Ilir Post was the leader of the kidnappers who took young Fyric Fel. Post believed that he had found a way to get back at the Fels, by exposing Soontir and his wife, Wynssa Starflare. When Wes Janson, Hobbie Klivian, and Plourr Ilo tried to intercept the kidnappers, Post thought he had a chance to collect on two accounts: Fyric's and Plourr's, whom Post believed was wanted back on Eiattu. Later, hidden in his estate, Post tried to bluff his way out of an arrest by holding Fyric fel over a balcony. Todr Fel then shot Post in the forehead, and Plourr used her athletic skills to save Fyric from his two-story fall. (MBF, HXW, XWFT)

Pote Snitkin
a Skrilling who fled the Corporate Sector after being implicated in industrial espionage, Pote Snitkin was hired by Bib Fortuna as a skiff pilot. Pote Snitkin later became one of Jabba the Hutt's primary weapons suppliers, but he was relegated to skiff pilot when Hermi Odle showed up. (ROTJ, GG12, CCG7, SWDB)

Potentium
this controversial view of the Force was observed by many beings in the farthest reaches of the galaxy, especially during the last years of the Old Republic. The theory behind the Potentium was that all living things held the potential to create newer and better living things. Each birth represented a new form, and each death returned living beings to the Potentium for renewal. Believers in the Potentium theory held that the Force, and the galaxy in general, were given a master plan which was inherently good, and that there was no evil side to the Force. There was simply the Living Force. A being's position with in the Potentium - which was at once the beginning and the end of all things - could not be obscured by training and discipline. Those who followed the Potentium belief claimed that the Jedi Masters of the Old Republic rejected its existence because accepting it would mean accepting that they weren't needed to combat evil. About a hundred years before the Battle of Naboo, the followers of the Potentium were forced out of the Jedi Order. The Jedi Council explained that the banished Jedi failed to understand that the Jedi Order was not about exploring the limits of the Force, but using what was known to protect peace and justice. The discovery of the living planet Zonama Sekot led many followers of the Potentium theory to believe that Sekot itself was the embodiment of the Living Force, created to safeguard its purity.
