Ardos
the small, white dwarf star primary to the Ardos System. Hutt legends say that Ardos was in love with Evona, which was a sister star that made up a binary system. The two lovers had many children, which were the various planets of the system. When Evona was sucked into a black hole along with several planets, Ardos became angry and miserable at the loss of his loved ones. Ardos self-destructed, throwing off a huge radioactive mantle of gas, and reducing itself to a white dwarf. The ejection of radioactive matter destroyed many of the remaining planets, leaving only the Hutt homeworld of Varl. Scientists from the Old Republic and Empire believe that this story is a mere legend, and that the Hutts destroyed much of their system in an ancient civil war. (GG4, TF)

Set off-center on the Arena floor were several free-standing columns, to which prisoner were chained during their "trial". Several portals opening off the main arena floor led to the underground catacombs where huge beasts were starved and goaded into vicious rages before they were released into the arena.

Argdran, Mikos
this short, pudgy man was something of an infochant, playing the Elrood-Derilyn Trade Route and exchanging useful information with the highest bidders. He was once employed by Lud Chud, but doublecrossed the Rakaan crimelord by alerting Tanda Pryl and the Thunderflare of an attack by Chud's forces. The pirates were decimated at the hands of a fully-prepared Imperial Star Destroyer, and Mikos was captured. Lud Chud then discovered that Argdran had stolen a number of computer datafiles, and had a team of bounty hunters throw Mikos out of a passing cargo ship. Luckily for Mikos, a team of Alliance agents was passing by the area, on a search for Shondra Del. Lud Chud, upon learning of Argdran's survival, employed a team of Loag assassins to hunt down Mikos, and the Alliance team was forced to travel to Merisee to throw off the pursuit. The Loag were able to track Argdran by the weak signal produced by the stolen datafiles. However, Argdran and the Alliance team were rescued from the assassins by the Thunderflare, believing they were simple ore transporters.

In reality, Argent Kole was an alias used by Jedi Master Agen Kolar to infiltrate The Rig and locate Mika, during the Jedi Order's search for the Crimson Nova bounty hunters. According to Kole's background, he had been a hunter for fifteen years before the Bounty Hunter's Guild listed him as dead, the result of a computer glitch. He had been unable to take on a hunt for many years, since the Guild refused to recognize him as a living, breathing hunter. Argent Kole had hoped to redeem himself in the eyes of the Guild by bringing Kit Fisto in as a prisoner, to claim the bounty offered by Kh'aris Fenn on Jedi Knights. When they were deep in the bowels of The Rig, the two Jedi revealed their true nature, and freed the various prisoners who had been captured by the bounty hunters. In this way, they were able to create a diversion that helped distract Mika's attention. (RSF)

Argent Lady
this new Ghtroc Cargo Empress-class freighter was owned by Cosmohaul Shipping. It was loaned to a group of freelance mercenaries by Paxtrell Snoygal, in the hopes that the mercs could stop the piracy which was plaguing Cosmohaul's transports. The Snoygal had hired a new crew to transport 100 R5 droids to Sullust. The crew turned out to be Xalto Sneerzick and his followers, who were trying to free the droids. He had inserted an "emancipation virus" into their programming, but one of his droids rebelled and shot him. The Argent Lady was pursued and captured by an Imperial Patrol Craft, but its crew was overtaken by the mercenaries and left stranded. The Argent Lady returned to Cosmohaul, but not before one of the infected R5 droids escaped in a life pod. (SWJ9)

After Vanis was captured by Imperial forces, Yom Argo fled to warn the Alliance about his capture and lead a rescue effort. Unfortunately, Yom Argo was killed when he crashlanded on Lahsbane just after he left the Bothans. His astromech droid managed to survive the crash, and tapes of its data were held by the Lahsbees in honor of the Lahsbee individual who also died in the crash. However, when the Lahsbees discovered that the tapes were part of a high-technology system, they gladly turned them over to Leia Organa and the Alliance. (LTA6, MC73, GMR1)

Its atmosphere was filled with ionization energy, making communications and sensor operation on and around the planet extremely difficult. Darth Vader planted an imposter on Aridus, who posed as Obi-wan Kenobi, in an effort to capture Luke Skywalker. The actor became extremely engrossed in his role, believing that he was actually defeating an evil enemy when he killed attacking stormtroopers. This drew Luke closer to him, as well as the native Chubbits that inhabited the planet. The actor eventually came to believe Vader was evil, and destroyed the Ivory Tower in an effort to distract Vader while Luke escaped. (CSW, EGP)

Aridusian Lava Beetle
this unusual insect was native to the planet Aridus, and was named for the way in which its shell seemed to glow from the inner heat of its body. (SHPT)

Ariela
a native of Alderaan, Ariela was Eyvind's fiance. The two were married on Tatooine, in a ceremony that included their human and Jawa friends. Ariela supported Ariq Joanson's belief that the humans, Jawas, and Sand People could live together peacefully, despite what the Empire said. Ariela and Eyvind were married the day that Owen and Beru Lars were killed. When a group of adolescent Sand People ransacked their wedding and killed Eyvind, she was carried away by the Sand People until Ariq rescued her by placating the young Sand People and trading water for her.

Arikakon Baraka
this male Mon Calamari served as an Admiral in the naval forces of the Old Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Admiral Baraka was in charge of the mission to Vandor-3, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. A career officer, Admiral Baraka followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfatjer by joining the military. This history gave Baraka a deep understanding of war and military actions, but it also made him wary of the introduction of clone troopers to the Grand Army of the Republic. He no longer had to worry about abnormal behavior among his troops, as each clone was produced to be utterly loyal and follow directions with incredible precision. Deep inside, he also wondered whether he and other military leaders were simply becoming obsolete. When he was ordered to take the Nexu and travel to Ord Cestus, he was angry at having been removed from the main fighting lines of the war. He bristled at the fact that a mission to Ord Cestus would not gain him any attention or promotions, and he vowed to eliminate the Cestian threat as quickly as possible in order to return to the fighting. He believed he was going to strike at the Clandes Industrial complex, but Asajj Ventress had secretly altered the triangulation of the signals. Instead, the targetting system was actually aimed at a densely-populated civilian area. Baraka didn't know this, but was still shocked when ARC trooper A-98 - once known as Nate - ordered the ships to fire on his exact location. Only the seriousness of the request, which would surely kill the ARC trooper, made Baraka change the ship's targetting to aim at Nate's position. (TCD)

She eventually became a pilot in the squadron, and was captured on Coruscant. She was used as one of Evir Derricote's experimental aliens for his Krytos project before she was rescued. She later assisted the Rogues during the Bacta War by piloting the Valiant warship. After several years of valiant and intelligent service, Aril was promoted to Admiral, and given command of the Victory-class Star Destroyer Protector.

Aris
located in the Albarrio System, this jungle world was the sector capital of Relgim Sector. It was on the intinerary of the Kuari Princess when Imperial Moffs Torpin and Vanko began plotting their deception of Emperor Palpatine. Members of the Alliance were also on the planet, trying to discover what the Moffs were up to while escaping from stormtroopers. The Moffs and the Alliance agents all boarded the Kuari Princess on Aris. Aris is the capital world of the Albarrio Sector. It has no native sapient species, although the wok-woks that roam the jungles have begun showing rudimentary intelligence.

In the end, Ark was knocked from the race and did not finish. (RAC, IG1, IWE1, PRT, SWDB)

Ar'kai
this was a Bothan term, used to describe the highest state of war in which the Bothan's could participate. It was reserved for those dire situations in which the very survival of the Bothan race was at stake, and demanded the complete and utter extermination of an enemy Historically, the invocation of ar'kai demanded that the enemy be destroyed to the last individual, that their names be wiped from history, and their planets reduced to dust. It had been invoked only twice in Bothan history, before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. In the wake of Borsk Fey'lya's death at the Battle of Coruscant, the Bothans again invoked the ar'kai, vowing to eradicate the Yuuzhan Vong. The ar'kai was not dropped after the Yuuzhan Vong were finally defeated, and many members of the Bothan SpyNet set out to locate Zonama Sekot, in an effort to destroy the Yuuzhan Vong who were allowed to live there. (DW, DN1)

Arkania
originally part of the ancient Sith Empire, Arkanian was a planet which had a great deal of Dark Side energy. For this reason, it was the world watched over by Jedi Master Arca Jeth during period leading up to the Great Sith War. It was a cool, tundra world known for its huge diamonds. Because of its location in the Colonies region, Arkania was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong during their invasion of the galaxy. It was used as a strategic base, allowing the Yuuzhan Vong access to the Hydian Way, the Perlemian Trade Route, and most of the Colonies. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, a theraputic cloning center was established on the planet, to generate replacement organs for individuals suffering from life-threatening diseases. Much to the dismay of these individuals, the onset of the Clone Wars brought about a halt to any non-military cloning, under Senate decree E49D139.41. (TOJ, DESB, SBS, SWI68, PJSB)

this terminal spaceport was located near the jump gate which was placed near Arkania, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (TOJC)

Arkanian
this was the race of near-humans which were native to the planet Arkania. They were distinguished from baseline human stock by their four-fingered hands and their milky-white, pupiless eyes. The Arkanians were best-known for their extensive research into genetic manipulation, especially in the development of the Yaka species, although there was a peception during the era of the New Order that the Arkanians were "mad scientists" who were going to enslave the human race. As a people, Arkanians were arrogant beings who had little tolerance for rude behavior. Arkanians were also somewhat xenophibic, and believed themselves to be superior to most other races. (EGP, ANT, WOTC)

Arkanian
this was the native language of the Arkanian people. (ANT)

Arkanian Bond Armor
this form of body armor was produced by the Arkanian people during the era of the Great Sith War. It used a bonded form of laminate to create its plates and panels, making it a durable - though inflexible - material. (KOTOR)

Arkanian Dawn
this infamous Thalassian Y164 slave transport ship is feared throughout the Outer Rim Territories. Rumors surrounding the ship say that no one ever survives a trip in the Dawn, for no one has ever been seen after boarding it. This is, in fact, all a clever ruse put on by the Sullustan Thila, who owns the Dawn. She is an Alliance operative, and uses the mystique and fear surrounding the ship to swoop down on slave camps and collect slaves. She then transports them to Alliance safeworlds, where they can live in peace. (GG9)

Arkanian Dominion
this was the political power of the planet Arkania, some fifty years before the Battle of Yavin.

Arkanian Jellyfish
a lifeform native to the planet Arkania. (FNU)

Arkanian Microtechnologies
this Arkanian corporation was ostensibly a manufacturer of medical supplies and technologies, but specialized in the advanced development of genetic engineering. Like the Arkanians who founded it, Arkanian Microtechnologies was highly fearful of outsiders, and much of its security system centered on the prohibition - or elimination - of non-Arkanians. This made entering the premises nearly impossible for off-worlders, unless they were provided with specialized security badges. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Arkanian Microtechnologies struggled to produce a cheaper clone trooper for the Army of the Republic. Their plan did not involve cloning, but a new form of development which remained a corporate secret for many years. Emperor Palpatine took advantage of the new technologies developed as Arkanian Micro, creating Force-sensitive clones from the genetic material of Sa Cuis, in an effort to produce a small army of Dark Jedi. This new technology could produce a useful clone in just over a year. (PH, SWI85)

Arkanian Renegades
this group of power-hungry scientists were known for their ability to cyborg virtually any living creature. They used their talents to create an invincible cyborg army, and tried to unseat the Arkanian Dominion some fifty years before the Battle of Yavin, in an event which came to be known as the Arkanian Revolution. The coup failed, but the cyborging technology of the Renegades was adopted by the natives of Arkania. (EGD, NEGC)

Arkanian Revolution
occurring some fifty years before the Battle of Yavin, the Arkanian Revolution was a coup attempt launched by the Arkanian Renegades.
