Resolve
this New Republic Majestic-class heavy cruiser was part of the Fifth Battle Group, and was outfitted with multiple redundant shielding systems. It was placed on the point in the training exercise at Bessimir, in order for it to take the brunt of the hypervelocity gun's assault while the K-Wing bombers took out the gun. The multiple shields were powered by energy shunted from the engines, leaving the Resolve powerless to escape once the shields were activated. (BTS)

Resonance Torpedo
the Sun Crusher's primary weapon. When shot from the Sun Crusher's torpedo bay, it homes in on a star's core and rockets into the gases surrounding it. It then uses a proximity alert to trigger a modulated resonance discharge. This causes the gases in the star's core to become hyper-activated, aging the star and causing it to destroy itself as a supernova in a matter of hours. The star's planets are then destroyed as two intense waves of radiation are blasted into space. (JS, COTF)

Resoria
this was the largest of the three continents found on the planet Corulag. (CCW)

Resorts, The
this was the name given to the 500 or so bases established by pirates, smugglers, and mercenaries who lived on Ord Antalaha. (PP)

Resource Reconnaissance Speeder
designed by SoroSuub for use by the mining industry, the RRS measured five meters in length and was operated by a pilot and co-pilot. It could transport up to two passengers, and could carry up to 70 kilograms of cargo. The RRS was developed to analyze locations for the presence of ores, metals, or crystals. Many mining operations used the RRS as the mobile command base for a fleet of MEMD-2 mining droids. (FBS)

Respectable
this was one of the Imperial cruisers blockading the ThonBoka when Lando Calrissian returned to help the Oswaft, during the early years of the New Order. The Respectable was the first ship to intercept Lando. When Lando boarded it, pretending to be a simple merchant, its cooped-up sailors welcomed Lando's cigars and ice cream with open arms. They provided Lando a wealth of information on the blockade, as well as contacts on other ships. Lando used these contacts as stepping stones, in order to get closer to the mouth of the StarCave, peddling his wares from ship to ship. (LCS)

Respite
this medical frigate was part of the Old Republic task force that was dispatched to Praesitlyn, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. (JT)

Response Time
this learning game was played in the Learning Circle on Kegan, during the last decades of the Old Republic. During the game, the first student to react to a topic flashed across their computer screen was required to recite all known information about the topic. (FFT)

RES-Q Airspeeder
developed by Ubrikkian, this 12-meter-long speeder was designed as a medical relief vehicle. It's oval shape allowed it to transport up to four medics and ten patients, as well as two metric tons of supplies. It was unusual among non-military speeders in that it was shielded, in order to better protect its patients during transport to a hospital. (LOE)

Ressl River
this was the longest river found on the planet Carida. (EGP)

ResSystem
this chemical manufacturer was noted to its synthetic byrothsis, which was used in Imperial heat sensors. (CFG)

Rest, The
this was the name given to the members of a race of aliens who had existed for eons in the depths of space. Having descended from a race of intelligent, organic machines created by an extinct culture that was destroyed by a supernova, their race had closer to a state of perfection than any other race in the galaxy. In appearance, The Rest appeared to be fifty-kilometer-long starships that were ovoid in shape and covered with polished silver plating. Nevertheless, they were semi-organic in composition, and they were entirely sentient. However, because of their desire to remain separated from the rest of the galaxy, these beings and their society had grown stagnant by the time of the New Order, and they longed for excitement and risks. One such risk, many millennia earlier, became a problem for them, as it caused violence and destruction, and they were forced to recover it. The One, though, foresaw that continued isolation and safety would eventually lead to the death of their civilization, so he created Vuffi Raa and sent the droid out into the galaxy to learn more about its peoples. (LCS)

Resta Shug Hai
this grizzled X'Ting fighter was one of the recruits who joined the Desert Wind terrorist group to fight against the Five Families during the height of the Clone Wars. A farmer by trade, Resta and her husband worked hard to eke out an existence in the desert near Kibo Lake. When the Five Families raised energy prices to the outlying areas - a move meant to ensure that their secure bunker was properly protected - Resta and her husband were unable to survive without extra income. Her husband went to work in the mines, but died from exhaustion. Rather than stand by and lose her farm, Resta answered the call sent out by Jedi Master Kit Fisto and the ARC trooper known as Nate. After training with them for several weeks, she joined Desert Wind to strike back at the Five Families and their control over Cestians. She was the only X'Ting to survive the training process with the clone troopers, but she fought for the same thing her comrades did: equal rights and freedom for the workers of Ord Cestus. She earned the respect and gratitude of the AFRC trooper known as Jangotat, after he was brought to the Zantay Hills to recover from injuries sustained during a raid on the Desert Wind encampment. When Jangotat launched a desparate mission to root out the Five Families from their secret bunker, Resta refused to remain behind, even though Jangotat gave her the A-98 Tac Code 12 phrase to receive compensation from the Republic. The only way Jangotat got her to stay behind was to incapacitate her in a swift sleeper hold, rendering Resta unconscious before she could protest. (TCD)

Restful Nights Hotel
this hotel was located on the planet Faldos. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the innkeeper of the Restful Nights Hotel tried to capture Han Solo, in the hope of collecting the bounty on his head. Solo had been on the planet to rescue Grubba the Hutt. (MIS5)

Restful Sleep in Danger
this Jedi technique allowed the Jedi Knights to get much-needed sleep while a corner of their consciousness remained alert and aware of his surroundings. This meant the Jedi could rest while dealing with a potentially dangerous situation. (HP)

Resti Kel
a planet. (SWJ2)

Restimar Mining Corporation
this was one of the many corporations which established a presence in the Cularin System during the last century of the Old Republic. (LFCW)

Reston, Nia
this woman and her partner, San Herrera, were Force-sensitive individuals who made conscious decisions not to train with the Jedi Knights on Coruscant. They didn’t want to deal with the demands of discipline and isolation imposed by the Jedi, and decided to remain on their homeworld of Cularin in order to help the Tarasin people. San and Nia funded a large relief effort, mainly by themselves, in order to ensure that the Hiironi Irstat was able to feed and defend itself from the predations of the Metatheran Cartel and other human intrusions. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, San and Nia began working on Life's Memories, a treatise on death which earned them a small amount of notoriety after they were interviewed by Yara Grugara. Years later, during the Clone Wars, they took up the cause of droid rights. In a detailed treatise dispatched to Cularin's newsnets, they argued that droids were sentient beings - more appropriately called synthetic persons - who needed to be set free. They argued that the Clone Wars was actually a struggled between two different kinds of synthetic persons - the droids of the Separatists and the clones of the Grand Army of the Republic - then provided four key recommendations for ensuring synthetic persons can exist as free beings, in parity with organic beings. The pair then shocked the Cularin System during the final months of the Clone Wars by posting a document to the HoloNet that questioned the loyalty and safety of the clone troopers used by the Republic. They argued that the source of the genetic material used for the clones was inherently flawed, that the clones were capable of independent thought and might eventually revolt against their superior officers, and that the cloning process was inexact and open to tampering. Herrera and Reston ended their posting by citing the various droid revolts in the history of the galaxy, and feared that there was a danger of something similar happening with the clones. They also wondered what would happen to the clone troopers after the war was ended. When the government of Cularin decided to officially join the Old Republic, Herrera and Reston both tried to rally the public around a plan to keep Cularin free. Their plan backfired, however, when it simply incited a riot that caused damage to much of the city of Gadrin. The pair were forced to flee the city and hide from law enforcement officials. (EOS, LFCW)

Restoration Day
this New Republic holiday celebrates the formation of the New Republic. (SOL)

Restrainer
this Imperial Interdictor cruiser was supporting the Imperial-II Star Destroyer Subjugator, during its attempt to prevent the Alliance from helping a group of dissidents defect from Imperial service.

Restraining Bolt
a device used to limit the functions of a droid, it is welded to the droid's exterior and controlled by a caller or owner device. It also contained a remote control shutdown switch that allowed the caller to cut off the droid's main power converters. (SW, WS)

Restraining Collar
this was a speciallized device that was used to limit the functions of a droid. Unlike a restraining bolt, which was welded to a droid's plating and could cause damage when removed, a restraining collar was a large device that was slipped around the droid's body to keep it from moving around. These devices worked well for astromech and other droids that moved about on wheels, and lacked arms or other mechanisms for detaching the collar. (HTTE)

Restraint Capsule
this was a large, room-sized version of a force cage. (GG10)

Restuss
this was the second settlement established on the moon Rori. It was located across a wide bog from Narmle, and was originally established after the population of Narmle was decimated by an outbreak of brainworm rot. Restuss served as a quarantine center for many decades, until it could be ensured that the brainworm rot had been eradicated. (ROD, GQRG)

Restwell Sleep Station
located within the Outsider Citadels of Cerea, this was a hostel-like grouping of low-cost berths where individuals could sleep for the night. The berths were nothing more than beds and a small refresher station. (PTR)

Resurgence
this Imperial shuttle was the personal transport of Lord Dixton. The shuttle was damaged in a fight with an Alliance starship, and Dixton was forced to land on Masterhome to repair it. While on Masterhome, Dixton and the Resurgence were captured by Alliance forces. The Resurgence was a standard Imperial cargo shuttle, measuring 54 meters in length and armed with a single, turret-mounted heavy blaster cannon. It could transport up to 50 passengers or troops, and up to 1,000 metric tons of cargo. (SWCP)

Ret
this heavy-bodied race of humanoids was native to the planet Gelefil. Distinguished by their reptilian features and smooth skin, the Ret were peaceful race of beings who led long lives. Their society was shattered some 322 years before the Battle of Yavin, when the Annoo-dat conquered the planet Gelefil, taking control of the planet. The peaceful Ret eventually adopted much of the Annoo-dat society into their own, and the two races merged into a single society. After many decades of peace, the planet Gelefil was renamed Annoo, in honor of the original homeworld of the Annoo-dat. The Ret came to refer to themselves as Annoo-dat as well, forcing xenobiologists to designate them as the Annoo-dat Blue, in order to avoid confusion with the lizard-like Annoo-dat Prime. (DCAR, DM111)

Ret, Engar
this Imperial Captain is in command of the Tempay lunar base. He was constantly at odds with Ulbrek Gostech, for Ret coveted Gostech's position of Imperial Governor. He had planned to discredit Gostech by turning the governor's soft-hearted ways against him. (PG2)

Reth, Yakown
this man served the New Republic as a Navy Captain, leading the Blackmoon Squadron of E-Wing fighters during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Captain Reth and the Blackmoons were part of the forces which assembled at Borleias, in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. As the struggle to maintain control of Borleias wore on, Captain Reth and his crew began to question the motivations and abilities of both General Wedge Antilles and Commander Eldo Davip. Reth wondered - without knowing the true reasons - how the two could allow the Lusankya to be destroyed bit by bit. (EL1, EL2)

Rethan-K
a harmless material used by most industrial worlds. (TFE)

Rethin
a metal which is molten at relatively low temperatures, it forms the core of the planet Bespin, and is mined for various uses. At slightly higher temperatures, rethin melts and eventually dissipates as a gas. It is very light in its gaseous form, and rethin is consumed by the beldons of Bespin to help them remain bouyant and float. The beldons then produce tibanna gas as a waste product. The unique space beldon, however, can produce its own rethin by digesting the interstellar gases of nebulae and gas clouds. (GG2, WOTC)

Rethin Sea
a name given to the molten metallic core of the planet Bespin. The inner core of the sea contained 30,000 kilometers of liquid metal rethin, while the outer section contained 22,000 kilometers of liquid rethin. (GG2)

Rethorn
this Ithorian was one of the most prominent criminal figures of the Mid Rim Territories. He has been known to fund rebellions against both the Empire and the New Republic, and has continued to gain more and more control since the Battle of Endor. His specialty seems to be the theft and transport of high-technology weapons systems and military materiel. Despite the high profile of his goods, Rethron has managed to maintain a low-key presence in the operation. His whereabouts have never been pinpointed, although his involvement in the illegal weapons market has been verified by captured operatives. (WBC)

Reti
this Toydarian salvage pilot was known to be a gifted talker and story-teller, although many of his stories centered on his own exploits. Nevertheless, Reti was also known as a good friend, and was always willing to help out another being in need. He proved his mettle prior to the Battle of Naboo, assisting Rhys Dallows in investigating the early stages of the Trade Federation's blockade of Naboo. Reti performed his regular salvage operations from the cockpit of his personal ship, the Zoomer. (JSF, WOTC)

Retinal Combat Implant
this miniature form of combat implant was placed in a being's eye, to provide greater visual accuity and tracking capability. They were first developed several decades before the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)

Retinal Disguiser
this device resembled a set of visors or sunglasses. When worn and used by a being who is subjected to a retinal scan, the disguiser projects a false retinal pattern over the wearer's eyes. This pattern can be random or pre-set, and allows the being to bypass retinal-scan security systems. (GG11)

Retinal Lock
developed by the Bith, this computer security device used a complex series of retinal scans to identify users and encrypt datafiles. (GFT)

Retinal print
an identification method which reads the retinal pattern of an individual. (SME)

Retinol, Leito
this man once worked for Dynaic Synergetics, Incorporated, before joining the corporate staff of Karflo Corporation. The rest of his career was documented in highly-classified datafiles, giving rise to speculation on his past. During the height of the New Order, Retinol was named the Managing Director of Karflo's operations on Goroth Prime. His management team respected his abilities, but wondered if he was too clever for hisown good. (GSE)

Retrac, Sheltay
this Alderaanian woman served as Bail Organa's primary aide during the height of the Clone Wars. (VD3, OWS)

Retreat at Katraasii
this was one of the most painful and disgracing events of the Clone Wars, in which the forces of the Old Republic were routed when clone commander Jai'galaar was unable to affect an organized retreat to a safe location. Separatist forces were able to decimate the Republic's forces, and only a few managed to survive. (SWI84)

Retribution
this Imperial Star Destroyer, part of the Qeimet fleet, served as the home base for the Scimitar Assault Wing. After the Battle of Endor, the Retribution was discovered to be part of the fleet controlled by Governor Lobax Resuun of Tamarin Sector. The Retribution served as Resuun's personal base of operations, allowing him to move around the sector at will. (ISB, POC)

Retribution
this Marauder-class corvette was purchased by the Corellian underground resistance from the Corporate Sector during the early years of the Alliance. It served as Bria Tharen's command ship during her attack on the Helot's Shackle, during which she attempted to rescue Ylesian slaves. (RD)

Retribution
this Daupherm Discril-class attack cruiser was stolen from the Daupherm military by Gorvam Shrulldike and his partner, Evram Darkmere. The two hoped to convert the ship into a smuggling craft, then make a living plying the shipping lanes. After Darkmere defeated Shrulldike in personel combat to take control of the operation, he began refitting the ship in order to make it more modern. Darkmere's reputation as a strong-willed captain allowed the ship to overtake its quarry without firing a shot. It was armed with six turbolaser cannons, four tri-particle beamers, two trilaser cannons, and a single tractor beam. (CRO)
