Blackhole
this Imperial agent worked with Darth Vader, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, to locate Alliance bases for extermination. His exact appearance was never known, for he used a distorter to project his image. He appeared as a human-shaped cloud of stars. Blackhole was, in reality, one of the special agents known as Emperor's Hands, and he was given widespread access and control over the Imperial HoloNet in order to send out his image signal. This allowed him to seemingly appear and disappear at will, instilling a sense of paranoia and fear in the officers he investigated. A former member of the Prophets of the Dark Side, he was later placed in charge of Imperial Intelligence by Emperor Palpatine himself. It was rumored that Blackhole was once a Senatorial page who was taken under Palpatine's tutelage. Others believed he was a functionary who worked in the Jedi Library on Coruscant before being seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. Blackhole's true appearance was that of an extremely frail old man, whose only movements were assisted by a Neimoidian mechno-chair device similar to that of the B'omarr Monks. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Blackhole simply disappeared, and was never heard from again. It was later revealed that Blackhole was none other than the so-called Mage Lord, Cronal. After Kyle Katarn defeated the Dark Jedi Jerec on Ruusan, it was also discovered that Blackhole had been the driving force behind the development of Gorc and Pic, the two Dark Jedi "twins" who served as part of Jerec's band. (CSWEA, GMR5, RESB, WOTC)

Black-hole Shield
this was the name used by the New Republic military to describe the unique, organic shielding systems used by the Yuuzhan Vong on their coralskippers. These shields acted like black holes, sucking in laser energy and absorbing it for use in other shipboard systems. Trast Kre'fey and Gavin Darklighter developed a tactic that used proton torpedoes to try and overload the black-hole shield system, causing it to consume more energy that it should, thereby diminishing their ability to protect the coralskipper. (DTO)

Blackhole Stormtroopers
this was the name used to describe the specialized stormtroopers who were assigned to agent Blackhole during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Similar to the Storm Commandos, Blackhole Stromtroopers wore all-black body armor, although their armor was based on that of a standard stormtrooper. (SWDB)

Blackie
this man lived in the streets of Tolea Biqua, on the planet Genarius, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. From this position, he observed a great about the underworld in the Cularin System, especially the activities of Nirama, Riboga, and Rufus Trammel. By his own admittance, Blackie didn't like to shower, and cared very little for his own appearance. He was, however, always armed, and was continually on the lookout for thermal detonators. He didn't want to actually use them, especially after seeing his friend Valdo shot down, but wanted other beings to live with the possibility that he might use one to defend himself. (LFCW)

Blackjack
an old, hand-held weapon. (CSWEA)

During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Blackmoons - under the command of Captain Yakown Reth - regrouped with the New Republic Navy at Borleias in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. After Luke Skywalker returned from Coruscant, the squadron's command was briefly turned over to him, during the attempt to make the Starlancer pipefighters look as convincing as possible. Later, after the Battle of Ebaq, Blackmoon Squadron was placed under the command of Captain Saz. (EL1, EL2, UF)

Blackneedle
this species of tree was known to live for 400 years or more, and grow to heights of several hundred meters. (MBS)

Blackout Light
this was a type of lighting used aboard smuggling ships. The dim lighting provided by blackout lights kept certain parts of a ship's interior from being easily viewed by unwanted parties, focusing their attention on the more lighted areas. (HSE)

Blackscales
this was one of the strongest Trandoshan clans who operated a slaving ring in the Kashyyyk System during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The Blackscales were usually at odds with the Zssik clan, a conflict that came to a head on the Avatar Space Platform when members of both factions were unable to contain their aggression and launched into a full-scale riot. Imperial forces eventually stepped in to detain the two groups, but only after a group of freelance operatives managed to help several Wookiee slaves escape. (SWGAL)

Blackstalker
this creature was a mutant offshoot of the garral. Similar in shape and size only, blackstalkers were completely hairless and covered with an armored hide. This hide was formed from thousands of tiny, black, overlapping scales which were capable of deflecting blaster fire. Additionally, blackstalkers had a rudimentary contact with The Force, although the ability seemed to arise naturally and could not be duplicated by Imperial scientists. Unfortunately for the Imperials, blackstalkers were all but impossible to train, and the entire lot of specially-bred blackstalkers was targeted for elimination. A few individuals managed to escape their confinement, and were unaccounted for. It was believed that they managed to avoid detection and escaped in the holds of starships, and that their escape was aided by an unseen force. There have been rumors of blackstalkers breeding in the wild, and of individuals which bonded with sentients. (WOTC)

Blackstar

Blackwater Systems
this was the latest in a series of factories that were built on the planet Falleen, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was considered one of the most slipshod buildings erected during the boom in construction that occurred after the Battle of Naboo, and many of the workers commented that their jobs consisted of very few actual responsibilities. Even its construction was considered odd, since it lacked any windows. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker traced Granta Omega, Jenna Zan Arbor, and Roy Teda to the Blackwater Systems facility after the debacle on Romin, and realized that the trio was using the facility as a way to test various water-borne delivery mechanisms for the Zone of Self-Containment. Upon realizing that the Jedi had infiltrated the building, Granta Omega chose to destroy the entire facility - hopefully, with the Jedi inside - rather than risk being exposed. Obi-Wan and Anakin managed to escape, with the help of Siri Tachi and Ferus Olin, but were recalled to Coruscant on an urgent matter. (JQ9)

Blade-32
this was the top of the line Adumari fighter craft during the early years of the New Republic. Like the Blade-28 before it, the Blade-32 was an atmospheric assault ship designed and built by Tarrvin-on-Kallik. At 19 meters in length, it was half-again as long as an X-Wing. A single-pilot craft, the Blade-32 had a pointed bow and a unique, dual-tail design. The fuselage split just behind the cockpit into two engine pods, and the tails were connected by horizontal bars. The Blade-32 had a pair of wings which allowed for maneuverability, and had three primary weapons: two forward-mounted lasers, two backward-mounted lasers, and a pair of missile ports capable of firing up to eight missiles each. Wedge Antilles and Red Flight felt that the Blade-32 was a rugged fighter, but somewhat sluggish. In the years after Adumar's city-states united and the planet was admitted to the New Republic, the Blade-32 was refitted to have a hyperdrive and more modern sensor systems. (SOA, PH)

Blade-32 Alpha
this was one of the two versions of the Tarrvin-on-Kallik Blade-32 fighter craft that could fly in space. The 32-alpha was only capable of in-system flight, where the 32-beta had a hyperdrive. (SOA)

Blade-32 Beta
this was one of the two versions of the Tarrvin-on-Kallik Blade-32 fighter craft that could fly in space. The 32-beta, like the 32-alpha, was capable of in-system flight. The 32-beta also had a hyperdrive. (SOA)

this man was the popular Senior Counselor of the city of Hedrett, on Cularin, in the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He was defeated in a general election by Westa Impeveri, and claimed that the ballot boxes had been rigged against him. An investigation proved that Impeveri was innocent, and Blakken was voted out of office. Nevertheless, he remained an important figure in the city's government, and was among the many who were invited to debate the problems associated with floating cities during the height of the Clone Wars. It was Blakken's opinon that the floating cities were too much of a tax burden, and that they should be taken out of the jungles and established as ground-side locations. His opinion was seconded by many of Cularin's natives, although he continued to find opposition among the government. (LFC, LFCW)

this band of small-time thieves was active on Coruscant during the last years of the Old Republic. They were well-armed and had the funding to carry out large heists, but never had a real opportunity until they were contracted by an off-world collector to steal certain pieces of art from the Galactic Museum. Among the artworks was a collection of ancient Twi'leki pottery, which the Museum had planned to sell at auction. The Blankers, as they were known, managed to reprogram one of the Museum's ASP droids, giving it instructions to steal the pottery and then "accidentally" walk off a ledge. The Gang was waiting below the ledge, and caught the droid and tried to make off with the pottery. (WOA21)

After learning of this, Blask called in several favors to obtain experimental blaster technology from Coruscant, in order to protect himself. Unfortunately for Blask, the disguised assassin droid S-R6 was able to obtain some of the experimental blasters, and managed to defeat the stormtroopers that were sent to destroy it. S-R6 then completed its mission to kill Blask. (WOA14)
