Tholoth
see Toloth (LEV)

Thom
this plant produced a sweet-tasting fruit. However, unripe thom fruit was exceedingly sour. (EOV, GMR9)

Thomork
this planet was the site of Emperor Palpatine's World Devastator construction facility, until it was closed down. Official Imperial word indicated a hive virus wiped out the employees, a fact that was substantiated by the deaths of 450 workers. The workers were actually killed by stormtroopers. This ruse allowed the shipyards to built the World Devastators in secret. (DESB)

Thomquizarr Base
Vocis Kenit was promoted and assigned a dirtside post at this Imperial Navy base after his tour of duty aboard the Semqi Pefis. (FOP)

Thomree
this was one of the most common surnames found among the human population of Corellia. (GMR9)

Thomree, Dupas
Thomree served as the Corellian Diktat during the early years of the New Order and the Galactic Civil War. He made a deal with Palpatine, which allowed Thomree to rule the Corellian sector as he wished, as long as he paid public homage to the newly-named Emperor. Thomree paid his taxes and supplied war materiel, while doing his best to keep the Corellian sector free of Imperial mandates. When he died suddenly, Daclif Gallamby was named Diktat. (AS)

Thon
a continent on Alderaan, known for its wildlife reserves. (SWR)

Thon
an alien known to the Old Republic as a Wharl (or Tchuukthai), Thon was in reality a sentient being who chose to keep his species and his culture a well-guarded secret. Thon trained in the ways of the Force, and eventually became a Jedi Master. He was assigned as the watchman of the Stenness System, and was living and training on Ambria just prior to the Great Sith War. When he first came to Ambria, the Dark Side of the Force was prevalent on the planet. Master Thon pushed the Dark Side back, forcing it into Lake Natth. His experiences on Ambria taught him of the virtue of the Light Side, and he tried to convince other Jedi Masters about the dangers of the Krath. He was supposed to have continued the Jedi training of Andur Sunrider, but Andur's death changed those plans. Instead, Thon became the teacher of Andur's wife, Nomi. Her stubbornness was broken when Thon was attacked by Bogga the Hutt. In the battle, Thon gave his lightsaber to Nomi, and she used it with unusual skill for an untrained Jedi candidate. Thon realized that Nomi was the special Jedi he was prophecied to train, and took her under his tutelage. Later, he was part of the assembly of Jedi Masters who met on Deneba to discuss the Krath uprising in the Empress Teta system. (DE1, DA, COTF, DLS, TOJC, EGP)

ThonBoka
named for the Oswaft term that meant StarCave, the ThonBoka was a huge nebula which formed a sac-like refuge from the vacuum of space. The ThonBoka was home to a large number of vacuum-breathing species, including the Oswaft, all of which lived on the raw nutrients that floated in the vacuum contained within the StarCave's boundaries. The nebula, which meaured about twelve light-years - or some ten trillion kilometers - across, was composed of huge amounts of pre-organic molecules. A single hole existed in the sac-like nebula, forming the only entrance to the StarCave. In the center of the ThonBoka were three young, blue-white stars, each about a lightyear apart from the others. None of them had any planets. In the center of these three stars lies an exact, miniature replica of the cave, built for the Oswaft Elders from every conceivable gemstone in the galaxy. This so-called Cave of the Elders was the primary meeting place of the leaders of the Oswaft. Despite the fact that the ThonBoka was mainly empty space, and its boundaries were formed from dense layers of gaseous molecules, the Oswaft were unable to exit the ThonBoka by simply "skipping" through the walls. The Oswaft indicated that they could not "see" through the walls of the ThonBoka, thereby prohibiting them from moving through it. Thus, they were forced to move in and out of the ThonBoka through the single hole at one end. (LCS)

Thonner
this planet, the fourth world in the Thonner System, was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. Its surface was covered with shallow salt seas, and broken by small chains of sandy islands. Thonner was first settled just twenty-five years before the Battle of Yavin, with colonists forming small collections of buildings around the newly-discovered freshwater springs. After it was settled, the planet's landmasses were found to be excellent habitats for the lichens that grew on Maya Kovel. Spores were inadvertently transported to Thonner, where they took hold on the islands and quickly covered the land with their lush growth. During the Old Republic, Thonner served as something of a penal colony for the Ayrou, which led to several legends that claimed the Ayrou Tessent was hidden somewhere in the seas of Thonner. (GMR9)

Thonnerman
this was the name used to describe the human settlers on the planet Thonner. Over time, the term became something of a generic term to describe the fisherfolk who lived and worked on Thonner, including a growing population of Kian'thar. The two races existed in tightly-knitted communities, with the Kain'thar handling aquatic activities while the humans handled things above the water. (GMR9)

Thonnerwrot

Captain Thorben later volunteered to be part of Luke Skywalker's mission to infiltrate the Imperial fleet commanded by Admiral Giel and eliminate the teezl which was being transported to Coruscant. Only two of his specially-modified TIE Fighters managed to survive long enough to reach the ship carrying the teezl, piloted by Shira Brie and Luke Skywalker. Their combined firepower, augmented by Thorben and his squadron technicians, was sufficient to destroy the teezl. (LTA3, PH, MC60, MC61)

Thorbin, Marfa
a native of Alderaan, Marfa attended an Imperial university, where she met Kane Griggs. They began dating, and fell in love. When Kane asked her to marry him, she immediately accepted.

Thornsniper
this unusual plant was found in the jungles of the planet Caamas. It was a woody shrub, whose extensive root system spread underground for up to ten meters from the thick trunk. The leaves of the thornsniper were covered with thorns, which could be forcefully ejected from the plant itself. The thornsniper fired its thorns whenever it sensed a nearby vibration, and could detect the target's position by monitoring the vibrations through its roots. It was not a mobile plant, however, and basically waited for its victim to die and decompose. Then, it could absorb nutrients through the roots. (WOTC, CCW)

Thorsh
this Jenet served the New Republic military during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He was known for his skills as a scout and reconnaissance agent, and could pilot any number of repulsor-equipped vehicles. Thorsh was among the many military personnel captured at Bilbringi when Operation Trinity was disrupted by the loss of the HoloNet, and was incarcerated on the Yuuzhan Vong-held world of Selvaris. After the informant known only as Ryn 115 provided Judder Page and Pash Cracken with a holowafer containing important data, Thorsh was one of a handful of beings who were entrusted with the data it contained. He and three Biths managed to escape from the prison camp, using carfeully hidden speederbikes as getaway vehicles. However, their absence was quickly noted by the Yuuzhan Vong, and a search party was sent to recover them. After a long chase, only Thorsh survived to reach the Millennium Falcon, which had been alerted to the escape and dispatched to Selvaris to recover the fugitives. Once back on Calamari, Thorsh was debriefed and the information he had memorized was recorded for deciphering. This knowledge revealed that a convoy of prisoners from Selvaris was traveling to Coruscant - now terraformed into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar - for sacrifice. With the data Thorsh provided, many of his other fellow prisoners were soon rescued. (UF)

It was Thraka Duroth who discovered the murdered body of his superior, Nak Simm, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Thraka then rushed to the Corusca Gem Casino and accused the individuals with whom Nak Simm was to meet of killing him. In the confusion, Nomo Sliken revealed himself to be Nak Simm's true murdered, and tried to flee the casino. Once Nomo Sliken was captured, however, Thraka took the party to meet with Torga.

The 9.5-meter-long thrall herder had a dome-shaped carapace that served as protection, and it moved about on thousands of cilia-like legs. These creatures could also spit a glob of pure plasma across a great distance, an action that could be used for attack of defense. When ridden into battle by a Yuuzhan Vong warrior, the thrall herder used a specialized surge-coral device to control up to 600 enslaved beings, forcing them to fight as the first wave of a ground assault. In this way, the Yuuzhan Vong could save their own warriors - as well as Chazrach warriors - for the final assault. (NJOSB)

Thranta
a creature native to the planet Alderaan, the thranta was a reptavian of incredible beauty and diversion. No less that four species of thranta were once native to Alderaan, although only the common thranta - sometimes called the Alderaan of Bespin thranta - were exported to Bespin before Alderaan was destroyed. The great thranta, the pilotta thranta, and the balana thranta were all exterminated with the destruction of Alderaan. The thranta was basically a huge, floating wing, bouyed by a lighter-than-air bladder. They were very docile creatures, and could be easily domesticated. All four major subspecies could be trained to serve as transportation beasts, carrying individuals or entire barges. The average thranta lived or forty standard years or so. The thrantas that survive on Bespin, known as rodeo thrantas, were descendants of domesticated thranta that were used as flying mounts. The thranta was used on Alderaan as a transportation method as well as a show-beast. Smaller thranta were trained as recreational mounts. Some thranta were even transported to Coruscant, to be used as Imperial courier beasts. However, these thrantas wasted away without their natural environment to thrive in. The noxious fumes and emissions of the planet-wide city seemed to poison them. (ISU, WSW, WOTC)

Thranta Riders
these humanoids are a silent, mysterious group that have befriended the thrantas that inhabit Bespin's atmosphere. They have large cranial lobes and thin faces, and often tattoo themselves with wild, swirling patterns. They remain aloof from all of Bespin's culture, and little is known about their origins. They have developed a monthly sky rodeo, which they perform for the visitors to Bespin. They take their thrantas through a series of wild loops and spirals, and the riders themselves leap from their thrantas a fly through the clouds. Their thrantas then swoop under them and catch them. (ISU)

Thranta-class War Cruiser
developed by the Alderaanian military, the Thranta-class was one of the last warships built before Alderaan demilitarized. All of the Thranta-class ships were supposedly destroyed when the planet removed all weapons, but three ships - the Valiant, Courage, and Fidelity - were retained to guard the Another Chance. (BW)

Thrantcill
this black-eyed avian creature was native to the planet Coruscant. It was a resilient species, having adapted its migration patterns over the millennia as Coruscant's weather and climate were altered to meet the needs of the growing city-world. The thrantcill was also harvested for a variety of culinary uses, including the use of its internal organs to create a simply pate'. The oils and fluids extracted from the body of the thrantcill were also used to create perfumes and scents. (TCD)

Thrawn
this being, a member of the Chiss race, was a respected and honored commander in the Chiss Expansionary Defense force during the years following the Clone Wars. His abilities to accurately predict his opponent's moves, and his tactical genius, moved him through the ranks with a quiet speed. Thrawn - whose full name was Mitth'raw'nuruodo - claimed to have been one of the first to intercept the Imperial task force dispatched to destroy the Outbound Flight Project, when it appeared in the Unknown Regions. The Jedi, at the urging of then-Chancellor Palpatine, had arranged for the Jedi Masters to make a trial run through the Unknown Regions, in order to help prepare them for the discovery of life in another galaxy. Unknown to the Jedi, Palpatine had sent the task force - led by one of his trusted advisors, Kinman Doriana - to make sure they didn't get started. The fifteen-ship Imperial force was summarily wiped out by Thrawn's small fleet of ships, although Doriana's ship was allowed to survive. Doriana himself negotiated with Thrawn, explaining why they were in Chiss space and what the threat of the Jedi was. Thrawn saw two things in Doriana's speech: the necessity for removing the Jedi, and the order and stability that Palpatine's New Order could bring to the galaxy. He agreed to let Doriana return to Coruscant, and also agreed to destroy Outbound Flight. Palpatine spent the next several years searching for Thrawn, in hopes of bringing his military genius into the Empire. Thrawn, meanwhile, had learned from the Empire the use of pre-emptive strikes against his opponents. The problem was that the Chiss regarded such unprovoked attacks as a form of murder, and exiled Thrawn after one particularly bloody incident. The ruling Chiss stripped him of his rank and sent him to live on an uninhabited world near Imperial space. It was here that Captain Voss Parck finally caught up with Thrawn, convincing him to travel to Coruscant and serve Palpatine. Thrawn received private schooling in Imperial military academies, becoming a Captain shortly after the Battle of Yavin and quickly rising through the ranks as one of the few non-humans in the Navy. He later claimed that he contradicted the orders of Emperor Palpatine on at least four occasions; after the first, Palpatine learned that Thrawn was often correct. When Darth Vader was called by the Emperor to become more involved in his plot to capture Luke Skywalker, Vader assigned Thrawn to be the "guardian" of the Noghri on Honoghr. This exposure to Vader and Palpatine led to Thrawn's promotion to Vice Admiral, where he helped design the missile gunboat. As Vice Admiral, Thrawn oversaw the development of an Imperial outpost in the Pakuuni System, then assisted in the defense of Palpatine against Zaarin's treachery. However, Thrawn could not capture Zaarin before he made his escape into hyperspace. Further service to the Emperor garnered Thrawn a full promotion to Admiral, at which time he served on the Inexorable under Ysanne Isard. Sometime later, Thrawn was promoted to Grand Admiral, and he convinced both Isard and Soontir Fel that a group of clones created from Fel's genetic material would make perfect sleeper agents. They could pilot ships, and would be loyal to the Empire. During a political party in the Emperor's court, Thrawn made a rare judgmental error and wound up on the wrong side of a debate. This angered Palpatine, but it also gave him an excuse to move Thrawn out of the limelight. Thrawn and Parck were sent back to the Unknown Regions as punishment, but were continually fed Imperial support. While there, Thrawn and Parck set up the compound known as the Hand of Thrawn on Nirauan, drawing a military force from the Chiss who still supported Thrawn. During their tenure, they won over large sectors of the region. These sectors could have vastly increased the Empire, had not Palpatine died at Endor. Thrawn decided to hedge his bets, and began fortifying the Hand of Thrawn. He left Parck there, in charge of the planet, when he decided to return to the rest of the galaxy some four years after the Battle of Endor. He left word with Parck and the Chiss who supported him that, if he was ever reported dead, that they should wait ten years for his return. As one of the surviving Grand Admirals, Thrawn was able to quickly garner support from the Imperial remnants, obtaining control of the small fleet under the command of then-Captain Pellaeon. Using Noghri strike forces and clever deceptions - such as cloaking devices and clones recovered from the Mount Tantiss facility - Thrawn and his growing fleet began systematically retaking pieces of the New Republic a year later. He was successful until the Battle of Bilbringi, where his fleet was decimated and he was killed by his Noghri bodyguard, Rukh. In order to ensure that he would eventually return to the Chiss on Nirauan, as he promised, Thrawn had Parck and Fel maintain a clone of himself, ready for rebirth at the ten-year mark. The clone was never activated, as Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade discovered the ruse and exposed it to the New Republic. (HTTE, DFR, TLC, TIE, WG, SOP, VOF, GOF8)

Thrawn Pincer
a space warfare developed by Admiral Ackbar, the Thrawn Pincer was based primarily on the tactics of Grand Admiral Thrawn. In a given battle situation, Ackbar would bring in two separate fleets. The first would emerge from hyperspace inside the system which was under attack, and would engage the enemy's fleet. The second fleet would emerge on the far side of the system to await further orders. When the battle began to turn for the enemy, Ackbar would wait for the enemy to fire up the gravity well projectors of an Interdictor-class cruiser. The move would mean that Ackbar's forces couldn't leave the system via hyperspace, and gave the enemy a false sense of victory. On Ackbar's mark, the second fleet would use a microjump through hyperspace to join the primary fleet. The exact location of their exit from hyperspace would be determined by the placement of the enemy's Interdictor cruiser, but would almost always be behind the enemy fleet. This was the activation of the pincer, catching the enemy fleet between its own gravity shadow and the fresh Republic fleet. The Thrawn Pincer was first used during the liberation of Ciutric from Prince-Admiral Krennel, and proved to be quite effective. (IR)

Thrawn Simulator
this was a series of military and naval simulations developed by the New Republic, and later refined and augmented by the Galactic Alliance, for training military leaders in a variety of combat scenarios. Only one being ever successfully defeated the entire series of simulations, Admiral Nek Bwua'tu, who later became the commander of the Galactic Alliance's Fifth Fleet. (DN2)

Threadneedle Canyon
this high-walled, crescent-shaped canyon was located on the planet Nadiem. Some five months after the Battle of Geonosis, Threadneedle Canyon was the site of a skirmish between a group of clone troopers led by Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee, and a droid army led by General Grievous. Grievous remained hidden from view, and directed his forces to trap the Republic's forces within the walls of Threadneedle Canyon. However, Barriss Offee and her troops literally played dead, and the Separatist forces passed them by. This allowed Offee's forces to attack the droids from the rear, crushing the Separatist forces between the two halves of the Republic's force. (CWA2)

Three Jetties Gourmet Restaurant
this restaurant, which floated within the boundaries of the Thee Jetties on the planet Lamaredd, was considered an eyesore by the sailors and fishermen who regularly traveled to Bartyn's Landing. During the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo, however, it was considered popular only because it was frequented by Guther Bartyn. (GMR7)
