this arms dealership was located in the main concourse of the Pegg starport, on the planet Antared VII. (GMH)

Merr-Sonn Industrial Equipment
this heavy machinery manufacturer was a subsidiary of Merr-Sonn Mil/Sci. (CSA)

Merr-Sonn Mil/Sci
this conglomerate was one of the original Signatory Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. (CSA)

Merr-Sonn Munitions
this was probably the largest and best-known subsidiary of Merr-Sonn Mil/Sci, which was originally established to manufacture grenades, mines, and other forms of explosives. Over time, Merr-Sonn branched out to produce hold-out blasters and grenade launchers. Merr-Sonn's products were well-received in both the military and civilian markets, and the corporation's total sales were only surpassed by those of BlasTech. Merr-Sonn Munitions was originally founded more than 4,000 years before the Clone Wars, and rose to prominence during the Great Sith War when it provided cortosis-based alloys to the Sith and weapons to their Mandalorian mercenaries. During the era of the New Order, Merr-Sonn was able to remain independent, and maintained this independence well into the are of the New Republic. (RPG, ISB, CSA, NEGW)

MerrWeapons
this arms manufacturer is a subsidiary of Merr-Sonn Mil/Sci. (CSA)

Merry Havoc, The
this was the term used by Palleus Chuff to describe one of the many facial expressions used by Jedi Master Yoda. Chuff was a noted actor whose portrayal of Yoda in Jedi! made him famous across the galaxy. (YDR)

Merry Miner
this carry ship was used by Jaina and Jacen Solo to maneuver a stylus ship into position over Helska, during the New Republic's first attempt to destroy the Yuuzhan Vong invasion force. Although they went without notifying the Republic, the Solo children managed to use the stylus ship to pierce the icy crust of Helska and launch a warhead that would begin freezing the planet, in an effort to destroy the Praetorite Vong's yammosk before it could begin coordinating an assault on the New Republic's fleet. (VP)

Mers, Lawra
this woman was a Major with the Alliance, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. In her position, she was in charge of coordinating dozens of Alliance strike teams and agent group across the galaxy at one time, and was the primary commander of the team that secured the Black Ice. After the Empire traced the Black Ice to the Alliance base on Fangol, Lawra proposed a plan to ram the Black Ice into the Imperial torpedo sphere dispatched to wipe out the base. The plan worked, although Fangol had to be evacuated and abandoned. (BI)

Mersel Kebir
this Dreadnaught was the flagship of Rendili's homeworld defense fleet during the height of the Clone Wars. It was under the command of Jace Dallin until some six months before the First Battle of Coruscant, when Dallin openly voiced his support for the Old Republic. His officers remained loyal to Rendili, which had sided with the Separatists, and mutinied before he could turn the ship over to Jedi Master Plo Koon. The mutineers, led by Lieutenant Mellor Yago, took Dallin and Plo Koon hostage, hoping to force the remaining Republic fleet to return to Coruscant. (RDR)

Merson
this planet was one of many that were ravaged by the conflicts of the Clone Wars. Some seventeen months after the Battle of Geonosis, clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic were dispatched to Merson under the command of Jedi Master Ronhar Kim. The intelligence provided by the Old Republic was faulty, and the troopers were ambushed as soon as they arrived. Within a few days, the natives had reduced the unit's strength by sixty-four percent, forcing them to retreat or be annihilated. Unfortunately, their starship support was unable to rescue. The Captain of their transport, Gilad Pellaeon, found himself under attack, and was forced to defend his ships before he could go planetside. Unknown to most everyone involved, the Merson Pirates had been augmented by Separatist forces, who had been dispatched by Count Dooku himself. Dooku had received orders from his own Master, Darth Sidious, to wipe out the mission to Merson, after hearing of Ronhar's plans to test the Galactic Senate for midichlorians. (RBL)

Merson Asteroid Belt
this field of space debris, located just outside the orbit of the planet Merson, was infamous for the pirates who used it as a base of operations during the last decades of the Old Republic. Known as the Merson Slavers, these pirates preyed most often on ships of the Republic itself, but were not picky about which ships they ambushed. Because of this, and because the Merson Asteroid Belt crossed several well-traveled hyperspace lanes, starships had to drop out of hyperspace and drift past the belt in order to avoid being captured by the pirates. (MC24, RBL)

Merson Slavers
this feared group of slavers were once foiled by Obi-Wan Kenobi, when they tried to hijack a pleasure cruise some years after the Clone Wars. It was believed that the Merson were affiliated with Zygerrian Slavers at the time. They operated from a base which was hidden within the Merson Asteroid Belt, from which the slavers took their name. (MC24, HNN4)

Mertan
when Talon Karrde first located Jorj Car'das on Exocron, Car'das played the part of an elderly man. He confused Karrde with another man by the name of Mertan. (VOF)

Merte
this Lambda-class shuttle was used by the Alliance to rescue a group of smugglers from an Imperial ambush, shortly before the Battle of Endor. The smugglers had agreed to help supply the Alliance for the coming battle, and were under Imperial attack. The Alliance managed to defeat the Imperials and get the smugglers to safety. (XWA)

Merthian Lung Infection
this mild disease causes the victim to have a wheezing cough and a runny nose for several weeks. This disease was made up by Roark Garnet, who had made a bet with Hawk Carrow that Imperial tax investigator Mothra would ignore their cargo if Garnet faked having a contagious disease. (SWCP)

Merthyog Communications
this small starship manufacturer won a contract with the Empire to build the II-xC broadcast ship, which was used to maintain and supplement subspace relay stations. (TA)

Merumeru
this Wookiee was one of the elders who led the city of Kachirho, during the last decades of the Old Republic. At 250 years of age, however, he was also one of the youngest members of the city's leaders. Merumeru was also a member of the Kachirho clan, which gave him added power and stature among his fellow Wookiees. When the Separatists landed on Kashyyyk and began planning their subjugation of the planet, Merumeru was pressed into military duty, assuming the rank of Captain and overseeing the establishment of a beachhead to protect Kachirho. His efforts were later augmented by the Grand Army of the Republic and the 41st Elite Corps. (VD3, SWDB)

Merzok
this was a common name among the Yinchorri race. (UANT)

Mesa
this man served the Alliance Navy as a Captain, and was the Chief Logistics officer who secured Haven base on Arbra and was placed in charge of protecting the fleet while it was in orbit around Arbra's sun. Captain Mesa and his team monitored the Kerts-Bhrg field generators which formed a pyramid around the fleet, protecting it from the sun's heat and radiation. (LTA5, WOTC, MC58)

Mesa 291
an abandoned lidium mine on Bothan's Planet. Tiree once tried to recruit support for the Alliance on Bothan's Planet, and used the old mine as a staging point, until he was discovered by Mar Barezz. The lidium was stripped from the mine, leaving the mine empty except for the plasma fires that ravage its lower levels. (RPG)

Mesa Flats
this was one of the most remote sections of Tatooine's deep desert. (TG)

Mesan
this female Senali was married to Jaret, and became a member of the Banoosh-Walore clan. (SP)

Mesarc
this was one of the most predominant currencies exchanged on the planet Aargau, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (BF3)

Mescue
the Imperial modified CR90 corvette that was dispatched to intercept the Haven shuttle group before Admiral Zaarin could capture Emperor Palpatine. It was assisted by the Imperial-I class Star Destroyer Vanguard. (TIE)

Mesdri'starn
this city was located on the eastern continent of the planet Bothawui. (SPG)

Mesh Trap
developed for use by bounty hunters, the mesh trap was a weave of electrified fibers that could be hidden beneath leaves or other light material. When a being stepped onto the mesh trap, it triggered the electrical power and stunned the being, rendering them numb and easy to capture. (ROD)

Meshakian
this alien race is known for its beautiful jewelry. (VOF)

Meslinger
this xenobiologist spent part of his career researching the ibliton creature native to Randorn 2. (COG)

Mesobanis Timer
this was one of the primary components in the MX9 blaster rifle. Regular adjustment of the timer ensured that the weapon operated at its peak performance level. (LFCW)

Mesonics
manufacturers of focalized explosive charges. These explosives were hard to use, because they required detonators that fire at triple frequency intervals. (TFE)

Mesoriaam, Barid
a human who served as one of Bria Tharen's Intelligence operatives during the early days of the Allaince. He was later captured by Jabba the Hutt and tortured for information on the Rebel Alliance, which he was carrying in a small datadot hidden in his mouth. Jabba tortured him for days at his Mos Eisley townhouse before Muftak and Kabe tried to break in. They discovered Barid, who entrusted the datadot to them for delivery to an unspecified Mon Calamarian. Barid probably died under torture, but Muftak and Kabe delivered the datadot. They received a large reward and two travel vouchers for passage off Tatooine. (TME, RD)

Message Cube
a device which is virtually unsliceable, a message cube can be keyed to the recipient's body chemistry, fingerprints, or voice. The outside of the cube is used to display the recipient's name, address, or a short message or code phrase. The cube can be hollow, used for delivering small data chips or other physical media, or it can be built around a tiny holoprojector. Cubes which contain holovids can be set for single viewing or repetition. (AC)

Message Pod
a device similar to a hyperspace courier tube in that it is used to leave a message for recovery. It differs from the courier tube in the it has no propulsion system. (COTF)

Message to Spacers
known as a METOSP (pronounced "MEE-tosp"), this was a communications channel on which starship pilots obtained general notices and up-to-date information on starports across the galaxy. These were one-way transmissions, as the pilot couldn't reply to the METOSP. The information on the METOSP allowed starship pilots to land their ships without mishap, providing weather data, traffic patterns, and other pertinent information. (PSG)

Message Wafer
a flat, rectangular card which contains a message. When the wafer is received by the designated recipient, he or she creases the card in the center and cracks it open along the crease. The card can then be folded for standing on a flat surface. The card contains a set of special crystals which will replay the sender's message with video and audio output. When the message is complete, the wafer disintegrates in a flash of light. (JS)

Message, The
this was the name used by those Yuuzhan Vong Shamed Ones to describe the story of Vua Rapuung and his friendship with Anakin Solo. The story told of how the Jedi Knights worked with the Shamed Ones to expose the heretical theories of Mezhan Kwaad, along with the information that the Yuuzhan Vong gods might not be as powerful as the priests had led their civlization to believe. The Message was passed from Shamed One to Shamed One, with never more than three individuals being in contact at one time. This ensured that, in case one Shamed One was arrested for spreading The Message, no more than a few other individuals could be arrested as well. This allowed The Message to spread throughout the galaxy, becoming a force that the Yuuzhan Vong commanders were hard-pressed to deal with. When Nom Anor adopted the personage of Yu'shaa, the Shamed Ones began spreading The Message with earnest, and it began to reach the ears of more powerful inviduals. Nom Anor twisted the basic story to meet his own needs, inventing the Rainbow-eyed Enemy to represent the powerful Yuuzhan Vong establishment. The Message was altered to bring the Jedi Knights more to the forefront, and eventually became known as the Jedi Heresy to all castes of Yuuzhan Vong. (FH1, FH2, FH3)

Messenger
this courier ship was owned by Core Courier Service during the early days of the New Republic, and was piloted by Taryn Clancy and Del Sato. The ship was a modified Ghtroc Class 720 freighter, armed with a double laser cannon and equipped with redundant shielding. The interior of the ship had been modified for courier duty, and could accommodate ten passengers and 135 metric tons of cargo. (TFE, SWJ7)

Messert Mines Corporation
this mining operation established a number of settlements on the planet Nurstin during the last century of the Old Republic, hoping to cash in on the dense concentrations of corthel in the atmosphere and cortheum in the planet's crust. Messert was also the first corporation to begin mining on the planet Essowyn. (GMK, PG!)

Messtin
Captain Hawra claimed to have a brother named Messtin on Dakot Seven, when he was approached by a group of Alliance agents who had infiltrated the Imperial outpost on Lotide. Hawra, in fact, did not have a brother, but used the name as a way to get the agents to blow their cover as academicians from Dakot Seven. (BI)

Mestapol Zephyer
this was a model of light combat starfighter. The Zephyr measured 50 meters in length, and required a pilot to operate. It had room for two additional passengers and up to 300 kilograms of cargo space. (POC)

Mester Reef
this was an immense coral reef, located on the planet Calamari. It was here that Danni Quee first saw Jacen Solo for what he truly was: not a Jedi Knight, not a Solo, just Jacen Solo. (DW, FH2)

Mestra System
this Minos Cluster system once held planetary bodies, although all of them have been destroyed. In their wake stretches one of the galaxy's largest asteroid fields. It has been estimated that over 100 trillion pieces of rock exist in the field, with many of them being large enough to rival small moons. The Mestra System has been mined for the abundant durelium ore found in the asteroids. The system is owned and controlled by the Minos-Mestra Corporation. The asteroids are mined for their wealth of usable ores and minerals. The asteroid belt circles the system every 611 local days, as measured from the asteroid Javis-12. The average "day" in the system lasts about 45 standard hours, which is the median rotational period of the largest asteroids. There are a large number of rumors and legends which describe ancient troves of weapons, treasures, and artifacts that are hidden within the asteroids, although no one has yet brought forth physical proof. (GG6)

Mesyl Rant
this was the name of a noted Umbaran individual. (UANT)

Meta-ceramic
this was a form of strong, woven material that could be used to create diplomatic pouches that protected their contents from damage. It was originally developed by the Trade Federation, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Federation interwoven computational circuitry with the meta-ceramic, creating a pouch that also served as a computer, which could display its message on its surface. (YDR)

Metal Borer
this species of insect was known to inhabit spaceports and shipyards, feeding on the hulls and exterior components of starships. This trait made the metal borer a nuisance to port owners and ship owners alike. (YDR)

Metal Man
this is the Togorian term for a droid. (GG4)

Metal Parasite
this unusual creature was a common pest native to Balmorra. Little more than a pair of long, double-jointed legs connected to a ravenous mouth, metal parasites fed on exposed metals. They favored factories and buildings, where heavy metals were readily available. An infestation of metal parasites could seriously undermine the structural integrity of a structure in a few days. (EGP)

Metal-crystal Phase Shifter
MCPS for short, this device alters the structure of a material and allows manipulation of the material at a molecular level. It was designed to penetrate a starship's protective shields and alter the metallic structure of the hull, turning it to powder. The MCPS was developed at the Maw Installation, but was never implemented, as the prototype was destroyed when the New Republic attacked the Installation, and all technical records were lost in the battle. (COTF)

Metalmite
this species of small insect makes a loud humming noise when it swarms together. Metalmites are composed mainly of metals themselves. They use biological enzymes to dissolve raw metals, then consume them for nutrients. Metalmites live in broods, with each brood led by an empress or queen. Each brood has a different pitch to its humming, and rival broods often go to war against each other. They can cause a lot of damage to any installation which is made of metal, or has metallic components. Drend Navett and Klif managed to get a swarm of them into the Drev'starn shield generator power station by surreptitiously placing them on the clothing of maintenance workers. The Bothans were forced to call them in - as they were acting as exotic pet dealers - to contain the infestation. This allowed them to further their plans to take out the generator. (VOF)

Metalorn
this remote planet was best-known as the corporate headquarters for the Baktoid Armor Workshop. During the height of the Clone Wars, however, the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic were able to regain control of the planet, removing the Separatists from power. In the years following the Clone Wars, the Empire either nationalized existing factories or built new ones on Metalorn. Much of the planet's surface was destroyed by environmental damage from strip-mining and pollution, forcing the Empire to re-establish its factories beneath the surface. (HNN4, MC30, ROF)

Metalsmiths' Guild
this group of extremely-proficient metal crafters was native to the planet Vandelheim, which was known for its deposits of valuable ores. The Guild was originally formed about 3,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, when the independent prospectors Vandel and Helm first discovered the planet and its mineral riches. The prospectors and their families settled on Vandelhelm, and their small settlement served as the basis for the Guild. (EGC, PH)

Metalwood
this species of tree grew on the planet Kuras III, reaching heights of 30 meters or more. They were named for their unusually smooth bark, which resembled sheet metal in feel and coloration. The roots of this tree obtained food by refining raw ores through a unique form of photosynthesis. These ores were metabolized and deposited in the bark of the tree. (PG3)

Metarie
this given name was commonly given to female human children throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Metarshi
this species of herding herbivore was native to the planet Alk'lellish III. (TBSB)

Metatheran Cartel
during the last century of the Old Republic, the Trade Federation was led by three alien races: the Neimoidians, the Filordi, and the Caarites. Both the Filordi and the Caarites were unprepared for the Neimoidians' plans to blockade the Naboo System, and decided to break off their relationship with the Trade Federation. Together, the two races formed the Metatheran Cartel, and begin making plans to wrest control of Cularin from the Federation if the blockade of Naboo should fail. When the Federation was defeated at Naboo and was faced with the loss of their trade charter, the Metatheran Cartell assumed control of Cularin. The Cartel made a serious effort to eliminate piracy in the system, and placed a number of restrictions on trade and commerce. (LFC)

Metellean
this was the term usedto describe the human inhabitants of the planet Metellos. (CCW)

Metellean Steep
this strange creature resembled a tiny humanoid. Its triangular head was topped with a pair of eyestalks. A carnivorous amphibian, the steep was protected by tough, rubbery hide and a wide mouth that was filled with needle-like teeth. (CCW, WOTC)

Metellos
this planet, the primary world in the Metellos System, was known as the "Coruscant that wasn't." It was believed that Metellos was colonized several centuries before the formation of the Old Republic, presumably by explorers from nearby Coruscant. Like Coruscant, Metellos's surface was completely urbanized. Much of the cityscape, however, had degenerated into overcrowded shacks and hovels over the centuries leading up to the Battle of Endor. The rich and powerful lived in floating cities that never came into contact with the surface. On the surface of the planet and beneath, rampant overpopulation limited the amount of habitable area to the barest minimum. Metellos was the fourth planet in the Metellos System, and was orbited by three moons. The average day on Metellos lsated twenty-four standard hours, while its year encompassed 361 local days. The few remaining natural bodies of water were used as septic systems for the ubran areas, and only a small pocket of desert wasteland remained unblemished. (SWI64, CCW)

Metellos
this star was the central body of the Metellos System. (CCW)

Metellos System
this star system, located near Coruscant, was one of the first systems subjugated by the revived Emperor Palpatine after the Battle of Endor. (DESB)

Metellos Trade Route
this was one of the first hyperspace travel routes to link the Core Worlds to the Koornacht Cluster. It was discovered during the last decades of the Old Republic, and opened up the many worlds of the Koornacht Cluster - like J't'p'tan - for exploration and colonization. At its peak, the metellos Trade Route streched from the Core Worlds to the planet Orooturoo, in the Farlax Sector. However, most of the worlds located along the route were of little commercial value, and the Metellos Trade Route saw little traffic. (WOTC, CCW)

Meteor
this was one of the Alliance's Nebulon-B frigates, active during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Meteor Racer
this was one of the many starships that were trapped on Coruscant when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the planet. Along with some 600 other independent starships, the Meteor Racer fled as soon as the first wave of attacks began. (SBS)

Meteor-class Aerial Fort
this was an Adumari warship, capable of atmospheric flight. The Adumari warship carried several smaller craft, including the Blade-class fighters. (SOA)

Meteor-class Q-Carrier
this drop ship was developed for use by the Mandalorian Mercs during the centuries leading up to the Clone Wars. These beetle-shaped vessels were carried to a battle site in the holds of Mandalorian Dungeon Ships, and could rapidly deploy troops planetside without being damaged. Each Q-Carrier was armed with rotating twin blaster cannons on either side of its cockpit, which was modeled after the helmets of the ancient Mandalorians. Four stout landing gear allowed the Q-Carrier to make high-speed landings without jostling the crew or its complement of troops. After the Mandalorian Civil War, production of the Meteor-class Q-Carrier was halted, since there were very few Mandalorians left to need them. (SWI80)

Methane Fix Cantina
this cantina was located on the Dune Street, in Mos Eisley on Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. (IWST)

Methane Sifter Ramjet
produced by Bespin Motors, this 15-meter-long hovercraft was designed for use on gaseous planets where the atmosphere was laden with methane, ammonia, and similar gases. Completey enclosed, the Ramjet used twin scoops to collect atmospheric gases and compressed them into fuel cylinders during flight. These gases were then burned to provide propulsion. This allowed the Ramjet to continually replenish its fuel, allowing for extended flights. It required a pilot and co-pilot to operat,e, and could carry a single passenger and up to 150 kilograms of cargo. (GFT)

Methanogen
Grannans need to breathe this gas in order to survive. It was found in the proper quantities on the planet Polneye. (SOL)

Metharg's University
an institute of higher learning, Metharg's University maintained an oceanographic institute on Trieron. (PG1)

Metharian Nebula
this nebula was located near the Elrood Sector, and was the home of a number of star systems. (PG)

Metharian Nebula Territories
this backwater section of the galaxy contained Elrood Sector and the Metharian Nebula. (OE)

Methnap
this cetacean was domesticated by the ocean-going ranchers of the planet Chad. They are the calm, distant cousins of the tsaelke and cy'een, although they ar also less intelligent. They measure 12-15 meters in length, anda re sometimes used as mounts. (SWJ10)

METOSP
see Message to Spacers (PSG)

Metrobig City
this was the largest city on Skor II. (HR, HNN4)

Metrobig Interplanetary Blastport
this spaceport was located in Metrobig City, on the planet Skor II, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The spaceport was initially attacked and overtaken by Separatist forces during the height of the Clone Wars, but an assault force led by jedi Master Mace Windu liberated it from the Separatists. It was later learned that the Separatists had planned to used the Metrobig Blastport as the base from which they would launch an operation to disperse proximity mines across the Rimma Trade Route. (SWI69)

Metrocab
this robo-hack was jointly designed by Go-Corp and Utilitech. It measured six meters in length, had room for up to four passengers, and could attain speeds up to 300 kilometers an hour. Its computer brain was linked to a main database of the local roads and alleyways, and a Central Learning Chip gave the Metrocab the ability to learn and remember shortcuts based on the time of day and regular traffic patterns. The armor plating which covered the Metrocab's exterior was primarily designed to keep swoop gangs and criminals from breaking into the vehicle to steal its earnings, but also served to keep passengers inside until they paid their fares. (CSA, SWJ14, EGD, AEG)

Metron Burner
this Corellian YT-1300 frieghter was owned and operated by Bama Vook, with assistance from his son, Chup-Chup and the navigation droid LE-PR34. Vook also owned a modified Z-95 Headhunter, which had a cockpit with enough room for two beings. (E1A2)

Metropolitan Shuttle
a small repulsorlift craft used to travel in cities. (JS)

Metta Drop
this area of the Tatooine desert was part of Jabba the Hutt's podracing course, and presented racers with a repulsorlift jolt after the winding obstacle course of Jag Crag Gorge. The Drop was a sheer wall of rock that rose some 20 meters in the air. Whenever a pod racer crossed over the Drop, it immediately plummeted downward until its repuslors kicked in and leveled the craft out at the bottom. (TPM)

Metternich
this was one of the Nebulon-B frigates which were used by the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XW)

Mettier, Lag
this man served the Alliance's ground support teams at Echo Base, on Hoth, and was a good friend of Dack Ralter. However, in the wake of the battle, Mettier was captured and imprisoned by the Empire. He later was one of the many prisoners held by Ysanne Isard aboard the Lusankya, and was part of the group her clone left in the Xenovet facility on Commenor. There, he was rescued by Rogue Squadron and returned to the New Republic. (IR)

Mev
one of the four moons orbitting the planet Ambria. (TOJC)

Mexeluine
this planet was located in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy, where it intersected with the Yarith and Javin Sectors in the area known as the Greater Javin. This planet was one of the first to profit from the presence of Figg & Associates, offering cheaper spaceport rates that Gerrenthum to attract visitors and traffic. (WOA33)

Mexnean
this Berrite con-man was famous (or infamous) for his scams and petty thievery. He often assumed female characteristics, although information gathered by New Republic Intelligence agents points out that Mexnean is actually a female. She was believed to have provided various crimelords with information she stole from her victims, some of which has compromised New Republic actions. (GG12, WBC)

Meydhu
this being was a weapons smuggler who made a living selling outdated blasters to primitive civlizations in the Outer Rim Territories, during the last years of the New Order. (GUN)

Meynin
this smuggler found an outlaw tech on Rampa who used a vast army of MSE-6 utility droids to repair his ship. (FTD)

Mezdec
this man was one of the leaders of the Typha-Dor resistance, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Along with wife, Shalini, Mezdec rallied people from throughout the Uziel System for her crusade against the invasion plans of the Vanqors. Operating from a base on the moon known as TY44, Mezdec was the resistance's chief communications officer. Mezdec claimed that it was Samdew who had been planning to undermine the group's efforts by transmitting the exact location of their base on TY44, just before Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker arrived in the Uziel System to mediate a cease-fire. Mezdec claimed that he had awakened to find Samdew at the communications station, and shot him with a blaster to stop him. In the ensuing firefight, Rajana shot Samdew in the chest, killing him instantly. It was later revealed that it was Mezdec, not Samdew, who was the traitor, and that Mezdec had tried to kill Samdew to cover his tracks. Four other members of their group were killed when the fire systems activated in their quarters, shutting down their oxygen supply. There deaths were also attributed to Mezdec. When the Jedi exposed him, Mezdec quickly escaped from TY44 and fled back to Typha-Dor, where he insinuated himself in the command structure of High General Bycha. Only the timely arrival of Obi-Wan and Anakin on the planet allowed Mezdec to be revealed as the true saboteur, and Bycha had him arrested and placed into custody for later questioning. (JQ7)

Mezerel
this was once of the many names given to Duros females. Among the Duros, it meant "eclipse". (GCG)

Mezhan Kwaad
this female Yuuzhan Vong was the Master Shaper who was chosen by Master Yal Phaath to investigate the source of The Force within a Jedi Knight's body. Like many Masters, Mezhan had undergone a great deal of unique bodily alteration, including the placement of eight tool-like fingers on one hand, in order to help her in her role as a Shaper. What her superiors were unaware of was that Mezhan was one of a growing minority of Yuuzhan Vong which did not necessarily believe the Yuuzhan Vong were the preordained rulers of the known universe. She did not believe in the existence of the Yuuzhan Vong gods, and took the position to investigate the Jedi because she believed she could prove her beliefs by mapping out the systems of a human. She got her chance when Tahiri Veila was captured on Yavin 4, and Mezhan worked with her apprentice, Nen Yim, to accurately map out the human nervous system. Despite their success, the Shapers were unable to isolate the source of the Force. When Anakin Solo and Vua Rapuung rescued Tahiri, it was revealed that Mezhan had once been Vua's lover. Their love was forbidden under Yuuzhan Vong law, and Vua had broken off their relationship in order to further his own career as a warrior. Mezhan, in a jealous rage and fearful that he would slander her, infected Vua with a disease that left him a member of the Shamed Ones. She admitted this after being discovered as a heretic, and was vilified when it was revealed that she had not discovered the basis for the Force. Before she could escape Yavin 4, though, Mezhan Kwaad was decapitated in a battle with Anakin Solo and Tahiri. Among those Shapers who were relegated to the ranks of the Shamed Ones, Mezhad Kwaad's actions proved that the Jedi Knights were not the evil creatures they were made out to be. Stories of how Tahiri survived her torture began to circulate among the Shamed Ones, starting an underground cult that worshipped the Jedi Knights, not the old Yuuzhan Vong gods. (EVC, FH1)

Mezhra Station
this orbital docking facility was constructed in orbit around Clak'Dor VII. Within its shell, Mezhra Station contained environment ecosystems that were changed twice a year. The unveiling of a new environment was something of a public spectacle, primarily because leaders of Mezhra Station were hoping that they would be able to create an environment that might be used to terraform Clak'Dor VII itself. They reasoned that any ecosystem that could survive within the hull of a space station had a decent chance of taking hold on the planet's surface. (GORW)

Mezza
this older Ryn was stranded on the planet Duro, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She had taupe fur, highlighted by red-orange splashes and a blue tail. She and many other Ryn distrusted SELCORE and its ability to help the refugees fleeing the Yuuzhan Vong. She led a large clan of Ryn while stranded on the planet, and spent a great deal of time arguing with Romany and his smaller clan.

Mezzicanley Wave
this was the name of the effect when matter reached its fourth stage, after a material had passed through the vaporous stage and began to re-solidify at incredibly cold temperatures. The wave itself was a fuzzy, distorted glow which appeared as the material re-solidified. (VP)

Mezzileen

Mezzine, Chyan
this alias, used by Gara Petothel, was used to gain access to the New Republic during her tenure with Apwar Trigit. Chyan was a communications officer aboard the New Republic frigate Mother Sea, and intercepted a number of important transmissions for Trigit's use.

It could transport up to 120 support staff and 300 troops, along with 150 metric tons of supplies. This allowed the MFB-4 to remain on active patrol for several weeks before requiring re-supply. The MFB-4 was armed with a turret-mounted heavy turbolaser and four supporting laser cannons. (OE)
