V'tel
this Yuuzhan Vong was a member of the Shamed Ones, and was living on the reformed world of Yuuzhan'tar after the planet was captured from the New Republic. Idrish was also one of the many of his caste to flock to the words of The Prophet, Yu'shaa, who told of the Jedi Heresy. It was later discovered by Kunra that V'tel was one of several acolytes who were planning to gather as much power as possible, in an effort to take control of the religion from Yu'shaa. (FH3)

V'troren
an Old Republic Senator who, like his contemporary, Gopple, was only interested in saving money for his own projects. He came under considerable fire when the Navy began speaking openly of the poor state of its ships, which was caused by a series of compromises made by the Senators. (ISB)

Vu Chusker
a small humanoid who often traveled in red cloaks and a thick hat, Vu Chusker was a former associate of Cabrool Nuum. They had a falling-out and became bitter enemies. Cabrool Nuum feared that Chusker would take over his empire, and he asked Jabba the Hutt to kill him. Jabba refused, and was thrown in jail. Cabrool's son, Rusk, freed Jabba to kill Cabrool, then demanded that the Hutt kill Chusker or be imprisoned forever. Jabba refused, and with the help of Rusk's sister, Norba, escaped and killed Rusk. Norba imprisoned Jabba as well, and demanded that he kill Chusker. Jabba promptly ate Norba, and escaped for good. Once outside the Nuum compound, Jabba encountered Vu Chusker himself. Frustrated with the day's proceedings, Jabba killed Chusker with a flick of his tail. (JTH)

Vu, Nin
this woman was a native of Alderaan, and was off-planet when the Empire destroyed the world. She had joined the fledgling Alliance as a trooper, and upon hearing of the destruction of her homeworld, she applied for a position in the Special Forces division. She excelled in the training of an Infiltrator, and was assigned to Task Force Shen upon graduation from her training. She had hoped to join the Alderaanian Death Legion, but her skills were needed in the Infiltrators. She rose quickly in rank, and was eventually promoted to First Lieutenant of the Shen task force, acting as Mart Stevez's second in command. (ROE)

Vua Rapuung
this Yuuzhan Vong warrior was once in love with the Shaper Mezhan Kwaad. The pair had hoped that the gods would condone their emotional attachment, but it was not to be. Rather than give up his status as a warrior, and threaten Mezhan's status as a Shaper, Vua broke off their relationship before they could be discovered. Mezhan felt scorned, and infected Vua with a disease that made his body reject the ritual scars that were demanded of a warrior. Vua was forced to relinquish his position as a warrior and became one of the Shamed Ones, although he knew that his status was the fault of Mezhan Kwaad and not the gods. He vowed to exact revenge on her, and found his chance when both were stationed on Yavin 4, during the invasion of the New Republic. Vua Rapuung encountered Anakin Solo in the forest, after having faked his death in an effort to plan his revenge. He claimed that his meeting with Anakin was required for his plans, and faked his death in order to reach Anakin. Vua agreed to help Anakin rescue Tahiri Veila, as the action helped get him closer to Mezhan Kwaad. Once inside the Shapers' damutek, Vua confronted Mezhan about his affliction. She revealed that had, indeed, been her doing that Shamed him, and the warriors among the Yuuzhan Vong allowed Vua a momentary return of status before killing him in battle. Vua's valiant efforts allowed Anakin and Tahiri to escape the damutek complex and return to the Jedi. (EVC)

Vua'sa
according to Yuuzhan Vong legend, the god Yun-Yuuzhan created the vua'sa as the very first incarnation of a Warmaster. A beast designed specifically for war, the vua'sa commanded the entire Yuuzhan Vong army until a brave Yuuzhan Vong warrior stepped forward and defeated the vua'sa. From that point forward, a Yuuzhan Vong had served as Warmaster, and would continue to do so until another creature could defeat him. Over the millennia, the vua'sa became extinct, primarily due to the fact that they were vicious predators who reproduced quickly. This led to localized population explosions, with large numbers of vua'sa killing every creature in sight until they destroyed their ecosystem. With no food, the vua'sa eventually died out. (EVR, FP)

Vua'spar Interdictor
this Yuuzhan Vong interdictor ship was developed after the invasion of the New Republic gaalxy had begun. Resembling two huge cones connected at their bases, the 908-meter-long Vua'spar interdictor was equipped with three enormous dovin basals for generating a gravity well that could drag ships out of hyperspace. The strength of this gravity well also had one other affect: it caused sever disruption to the brain-wave patterns of most sentient beings, rendering them unconscious for several minutes after their ship reverted to realsapce. These interdiction capabilities, coupled with several yorik coral arms that housed a full wing of thirty-six coralskippers, made the Vua'spar a deadly addition to the Yuuzhan Vong fleet. The Vua'spar was crewed by 638 warriors, and could transport up to 1,144 troops and 17,450 metric tons of cargo. It was armed with twenty plasma projectors and a forward-mounted heavy plasma projector, and it was protected by a collection of smaller dovin basals. These ships first appeared after the Yuuzhan Vong subjugated planets such as Duro and Fondor, after the New Republic began putting up increasing resistance to the invasion plans of the Yuuzhan Vong. (NJOSB)

Vuffi Raa
this was the name of the Class 2 multi-phasic robot Lando Calrissian won in a sabacc match from Ottdefa Whett on Oseon 2795, many years before the Battle of Yavin. Vuffi Raa was a star-shaped machine with flexible manipulators extending from each of the five points on his body. These manipulators were used as arms and legs for a variety of tasks, including locomotion. They could also be removed from the main body and operate independently from it, and each had a small red eye that was a miniature version of the main photoreceptor. These secondary eyes allowed Vuffi Raa to explore tiny cracks and crevasses while monitoring the progress of the detached limbs. Each of the five arms on his body ended with with tinier "fingers" that were as thin as human hair but flexible and as strong as many alloys. Vuffi Raa had a single, red, multifaceted photoreceptor eye in the center of his body, and his body was covered with highly-polished chromium that allowed him a great deal of flexibility. Vuffi Raa's creators were unknown, but he claimed to have been built in their image. The name Vuffi Raa was actually a numeric designation in their native language. Vuffi Raa could not remember his creators or his initial acitivation, because he was prematurely activated during shipping. This sudden start-up wiped out a large portion of his pre-programmed memories. The droid later learned that this had been part of an experiment that was performed by The One, the huge interstellar entity that was Vuffi Raa's father. He had hoped that Vuffi Raa would roam the stars, encountering other lifeforms and gathering data on them. This would help The One's people obtain stimulating information about the galaxy without having to enter into the violent tendencies of most races. Vuffi Raa was programmed against violence, so that he would not obtain tainted data about other lifeforms. Inside the droid's shell, a thick fluid circulated throughout his system, providing lubrication and coagulation properties, should the outer metal surface be punctured. It made Vuffi Raa a semi-organic machine, a fact that was eventually revealed years later. The One explained to Lando that Vuffi Raa was an infant organic starship, related to the huge machines The One and his people use to transport information. Vuffi Raa was intercepted by Rokur Gepta shortly after his activation, and was placed in the service of Osuno Whett. When Whett tried to gain power in the Renatasia System, he set Vuffi Raa up as the focal point and primary emissary to the backwater peoples of the system. It was for this reason that Klyn Shanga and his militia chased Vuffi Raa and Lando Calrissian throughout the galaxy. Shanga didn't know, until the end, that it was Whett who was to blame. Gepta had programmed Vuffi Raa to call Osuno Whett "Master," but Vuffi Raa's inherent nature overrode that command. However, when Vuffi Raa encountered Lando Calrissian, his programming found Lando to be a more civilized person than Whett. The small droid couldn't help it when his programming called Lando "Master." The unusual droid could not override all of its programming, though, and played his part as the Emissary when Lando was chosen as the Bearer. Vuffi Raa then had Lando arrested when he emerged from the Great Pyramid on Rafa V with the Mindharp. After this, however, Vuffi Raa discovered that any programming that Gepta had done had run out, and so he returned to Lando's side. The droid explained that he felt Lando was his true Master, and woefully explained the situation. Lando, who had become somewhat attached to Vuffi Raa, forgave the little droid as they blasted their way out of the Rafa System. Although Vuffi Raa refused to be set free by Lando, the young con artist designated the droid as his sole heir, in case Gepta or Shanga managed to kill him. During the defense of the ThonBoka, Vuffi Raa had several conversations with Lehesu, and discovered that his prohibition against violence did not extend to self-preservation, nor to the preservation of the lives he cared for. Thus, when the Millennium Falcon was attacked by Klyn Shanga's militiamen, Vuffi Raa was able to shoot down two of their fighters while Lando was trying to get his own weapons ready. After Lando managed to defeat Rokur Gepta near the ThonBoka starcave, Vuffi Raa discovered his true nature when he was greeted by The One. The little droid was then manumitted by Lando and allowed to roam the galaxy as the starship that he was. (LCM, LCF, LCS)

Vuintor, Jarik
this slight, non-descript man rose to prominence in the Cularin System, during the height of the Clone Wars, and one of the representatives of the group known as Truth For Cularin. Despite his weak appearance, Vuintor was a vocal opponent of the government of Cularin, and openly questioned their motives in hiding certain pieces of information from the population. His broadcasts on the system HoloNet nodes often spoke of government cover-ups and wrong-doings that either caused or prolonged the various troubles that the Cularin System experienced. Many viewers called his tirades theatrical, and he often used stereotypical facial expressions and hand gestures to drive his points home. Many of the documentaries in which he appeared seemed to have originated on Cularin, but closer examination revealed that his "office" on Cularin was more than likely a remote studio that was made to look like Cularin. (LFCW)

a townsperson on Kalarba, he has re-ordered the programming of three E-series droids (Q-E, U-E, and 2-E) in order to secretly build illegal blasters. He destroyed the U-E droid when it questioned the legality of building the blasters. Vuldo was later exposed by C-3PO, R2-D2, and the young boy Nak Pitareeze, when Artoo discovered U-E's memory banks held a record of Vuldo's shooting of the droid. (DRO)

Vulgarr
at one time, Vulgarr was the king of the Duloks on Endor. He devised a plan whereby the Duloks would capture all the Ewok children. Their flesh would be eaten, and their hides woul dmake beautiful pouches. When the Duloks were defeated by Teebo and the Grundakk, Logray ordered that Vulgarr be planted in the ground feet-first. Over the years, he would grow into a twisted, gnarled tree, which would server as a reminder to the other Duloks to keep away from the Ewoks. (AT)

Vulpter
this planet, the homeworld of the Vulptereen race, was located on the border between the Deep Core and the Core Worlds. It was the third and primary world in the Vulpter System. At one time, Vulpter was a temperate world covered with grasslands and forests. Over time, the Vulptereen urbanized the planet, turning it into a smog-covered world of barren wastes and dingy industrial centers. During the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo, the planet was overtaken by the Trade Federation and turned into a dumping ground for the products the Federation couldn't sell anywhere else. The native Vulptereen were put to work drilling vast tunnels to serve as storage facilities for the Federation, and anything that was deemed too large or toxic to store on the planet was launched into orbit. This created a ring of debris around Vulpter, primarily made up of old adverstising materials, and choked out a measure of natural sunlight. Eventually, the Vulptereen population found that it could no longer produce its own food, and was forced to import the necessary foodstuffs to sustain themselves. For every city that survived the Clone Wars, five more were abandoned. During the New Order, Vulpter suffered even more, as the Empire not only shut down access to the Deep Core, but also cut off all shipments to Vulpter. The native Vulptereen perished by the millions, until Alliance agents arrived and exchanged food for land. The Alliance's presence helped the Vulptereen survive until the Battle of Endor, when the Empire was destroyed and access to the Deep Core was restored. The Vulptereen then set out to restore their homeworld, using technologies that proved successful on worlds such as Duro. (IWE1, SWI65, NEGC, PH)

Vulpter
this star, located in the galaxy's Deep Core, was the central body in the Vulpter System. (PH)

Vulpter Orbital
this space race was developed by the Vulptereen, in an effort to break the monotony of their existence during the New Order. The idea of the Vulpter Orbital was to race a small starship through the ring of debris that covered their homeworld, until one racer reached the finish line or all other racers were eliminated. (PH)

Vulptereen
a species of squat-bodied aliens with long, tusk-studded snouts, the Vulptereen were native to the planet Vulpter. They are noted for their technology, especially in the areas of racing engines and machines. However, their desire to produce this technology overcame their basic survival instincts, and the Vulptereen redued their homeworld to a smog-choked industrial wasteland. This forced the Vulptereen to begin importing foodstuffs, since the planet could no longer provide the basic necessities. During the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo, Vulpter was overtaken by the Trade Federation. The native Vulptereen were put to work drilling vast tunnels to serve as storage facilities for the Federation. The situation only worsened after the Clone Wars, as the Empire cut off shipments of food to Vulpter when it shut down access to the Deep Core. Millions of Vulptereens died from starvation, and thousands more perished in riots that occurred when food became scarce. Thus, when Alliance agents arrived on Vulpter, the Vulptereens gladly allowed them to use the planet as a Deep Core base in exchange for food and other necessities. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, the Vulptereens set out to rebuild their homeworld. (IG1, IWE1, NEGC, PH)

Vulptereen 327
this was another name used to describe the RS557 podracer, used in certain racing manuals. (SWDB)

Commander Vulpus was dispatched to Belsus by Dooku himself, to oversee General Grievous' efforts to meld the Force-sensitivity of Jedi Padawans with specialized Geonosian technologies. (SWGG)

Vulta
this planet was the homeworld of the Vultan race. It was the primary world in the Atreyis System, on the spinward edge of the Mid Rim. Many xenoarchaeologists believed that the planet Vulta was among the first worlds to be explored and colonized by humans, following the invention of the hyperdrive. The Vultan race was thought to have descended from this baseline human stock. (TOJC, PJSB)

Vultan
a humanoid race characterized by its thin frame and it unusual cranium, the Vultans were native to the planet Vulta. Their heads seemed to be a mass of twisted appendages or convoluted skin folds instead of hair. In reality, these fold were simply a cartilaginous net which protected their brains. In females of the Vultan race, this cartilage pointed outward, away from the skull like horns. They tended to have yellowish skin. It was believed that the Vultans evolved from baseline human stock, when the planet Vulta was first visited by explorers shortly after the invention of the hyperdrive. As a people, the Vultans were enamored with the latest in trends and fashions, and were known for their skills in creating and manipulating technology. (TOJ, TOJC, PJSB)

Vump-shugga
a race devised by Captain Huba and his team of pirate-chefs, it involved racing open skyshoppers across the rocky crags of Kalarba to obtain an object and returning to the starting point with it. The hard part was avoiding the vynocks which scavenge the rocks for metal. (DRO)

Vun Merett Jai
this Senatorial aide was working on the planet Coruscant when he was kidnapped along with Senator Meena Tills by a group of Haruun Kal terrorists led by Nuriin-Ar, during the early stages of the Clone Wars.

Vuraj Marn
this Brosin male was Randle Clanse's most valuable lieutenant, within the command structure of the Brosin Underground. (AIR)

Vuras
this Jedi's struggle with the Dark Side of the Force became a primary teaching lesson for many Jedi Masters. Vuras was confronted with an enemy that used underhanded tactics to continually outsmart and defeat him. Rather than seeking a new way of dealing with the enemy, Vuras simply resorted to using his own underhanded tactics. However, the inherent evil in these tactics, and the anger with which he embraced them, led Vuras to the Dark Side and, eventually, his own destruction. (PTR)

Vurdon Ka
this temperate planet, the homeworld of the Vuvrian race, was covered with mosses and primitive plants. The atmosphere of Vudron Ka was quite stable, and lacked any major forms of weather. Thus, the planet's temperature remained stable within a fifteen-degree range, and cloud formations tended to build up and remain together for long periods of time. This left the surface of Vurdon Ka in a perpetual state of near-twilight, but this was more than made up for by the planet's pleasant environment. Many of the species which evolved on Vudron Ka, including the Vuvrians, had sensitive epidermal skin, an evolutionary result of the easy living experienced on the planet. (ANT)

Vuren
a common name given to Twi'lek males, this name meant "mountain". (GCG)

Vurgat
this ancient Tarasin ritual was believed to have been as old as the Tarasin race themselves. Each vurgat was a special event, and was held only when the leaders and seers of the Tarasin perceived the need to comprehend something truly important. The holding of a vurgat often marked the occurrence of a much greater event, which had repercussions beyond the Tarasin themselves. Attendance at a vurgat usually involved representatives from all Tarasin tribes, each of whom was called by a power which created strange dreams in their minds. (LFCW)

Vurk
this humanoid, reptilian race was native to the planet Sembla. The Vurk were distinguished by the pointed crest which rose from the back of their skull, curving up to a half-meter in length behind them. Their faces were divided by the crest, with bulging cheeks and ocular bones supporting their large eyes. Their hands had three thick fingers and a opposable thumb, and the average Vurk stood more than two meters in height. Because the planet Sembla was constantly being remade due to volcanic activity, the Vurks evolved into efficient nomads. Because of this, they were often regarded in the galaxy at large as a primitive people. (SWDB)

Vurrha
this being was the leader of the smuggler gang known as Vurrha's Blood, during the early years of the New Order.

Vuula
this was one of the more common names given to Cragmoloid individuals. (UANT)

Vuultin
this was one of the largest cities on the planet Brentaal, and was controlled by Lon Isoto and the Cabal during the period following the Battle of Endor. Is Vuultin a city or a planet? The captions seem to indicate it's a city on the barren moon of Brentaal IV, but discussion among the New Republic military indicate it's a planet. (XWES)

Vuultin Starburst
this unusual medal was created by Lon Isoto, in honor of the efforts of the 181st Imperial Fighter Group in defending Brentaal from attack by the New Republic. It was organic in form, with a red, heart-like center and several gold and bronze flares. The first of these Starbursts was awarded to Turr Phennir. (XWES)

Vuurok I'pan
this Yuuzhan Vong was a member of the Shamed Ones, and was relegated to living in the bowels of the planet Coruscant after it was transformed into a likeness of the long-lost Yuuzhan Vong homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar. A former warrior, I'pan was the first to encounter Nom Anor in the tunnels beneath the surface, after the former Executor fled capture for the loss of Jacen Solo. (FH1)

Vuvrian
this was the native language of the Vuvrian race. (ANT)

Vuvrian
an alien race characterized by their ovoid heads and the thin tentacular appendages that hang on either side, Vuvrians were native to the planet Vudron Ka. Their thin skin was exceptionally sensitive, and the average Vuvrian could detect minute changes in air temperature and pressure caused by the presence of another being. The skin of a Vuvrian wrinkles with age and loses its sensitivity, especially if an individual lives on another planet. Vuvrians were more than happy to join the Old Republic, but had little interest in travel or colonization. They felt that any planet other than Vudron Ka was "unpleasant". As a people, Vuvrians were cordial and inquisitive, and many individuals have become some of the galaxy's greatest diplomatic and negotiators. (CCG, ANT, UANT)

Vuvritech 44
this was a small power generator, developed during the early years of the New Order to power stun batons and other, similar tools. (PH)

VV-99-7JE-2N71
this star system, originally discovered by Bshrah-Ky-Ushsj, was stumbled upon by Sig Coven. While in the system, Coven discovered what was the remained of Hez Kragg's fleet, including the Kragg's Fury. An orange-yellow star was found at the center of the system, and sixteen planets orbited it. Nine of the planets were gas giants, with the remaining seven being solid. Of these, five had atmospheres, and one - the fourth planet in the system - was determined to have a variety of lifeforms living on its surface. (SWJ7)

V-Wing Fighter
this starship, officially designated the Alpha-3 Nimbus, was produced by Kuat Drive Yards during the last decades of the Old Republic. The fighter was developed by Walex Blissex to improve upon the Delta-7 Aethersprite, which Blissex believed had many flaws. Though designed for law enforcement agencies, the V-Wing was also available in a civilian model. Only a small number of V-Wings were built for civilian use, however. During the height of the Clone Wars, thousands of V-Wings were used in the naval fleet of the Old Republic, augmenting the ARC-170 fighters throughout the conflict. The V-Wing was a needle-shaped craft that maneuvered with the assistance of four moveable wings, which also served to help the craft dissipate excess heat during combat. The V-Wing measured just 7.9 meters in length, with a maximum wingspan of 3.8 meters. Each of these fighters was armed with a pair of twin laser cannons, and required a pilot and a Q7-series astromech to operate. In order to execute tight turns and complex maneuvers to counteract the abilities of the Separatists' vulture droids, the engines of the V-Wing were mounted one atop the other at the rear of the craft. Because of their small size, most V-Wings were unable to accommodate a hyperdrive system. Only those V-Wings produced as escorts for Emperor Palpatine's personal Theta-class shuttle were given compact hyperdrives, but these were limited-capacity versions that needed input from the shuttle to manage jumps.

V-Wing Speeder/Transport
an airspeeder used by the New Republic at the first Battle of Calamari, the V-Wing was designed by Slayn & Korpil to be an all-environment speeder. Interestingly, a separate interface transport was used to move the speeder from its docking space. The transport section was loaded in order, and could carry four or six transports. The transport was then launched, and plunged through the atmosphere under snubfighter escort. The speeder pilots entered their ships during this plunge, moving through sleeves to their ships. When all was ready, the speeders were launched from the transport, which then disengaged from any battles. The V-Wing was required to fly back to the parent ship to refuel and be ready to launch more speeders. The four-speeder transport, designated Model A, was 20 meters long; the six-speeder version was the Model B, and was 27 meters long. The transport itself was unarmed. The speeder was 6.3 meters in length, and was armed with a double blaster cannon. Note that The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels indicates that the V-Wing was just 5.7 meters in length, with a wingspan of 9.6 meters. The speeder's design allowed it to channel air into Chab-Ylwoum scramjet intake channels, which helped the ship increase its base speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour to 1,400 kph, but reduced maneuverability.

Vycynith
this forested, temperate planet was one of several resort planets popular with the upper class of the Tapani Sector. It was within the province held by House Barnaba, and all profits from the resorts went into Barnaba's coffers. One of the main attractions of the planet was the collection of four orbiting casinos that catered to the gambling needs of the sector. Vycynith was orbited by a single moon, which was maintained as a game preserve for a variety of species. Note that it is spelled as Vycinyth was well, in the Players Guide to Tapani. (LOE, PGT)
