Blech, Jorgan
this man was the Captain of the Bold Dove. He once made the mistake of comparing Brooser to a Wookiee, and the huge man beat Blech to within inches of his life. Blech was then beaten some more by a passing Wookiee, claiming that Blech's comments were an insult to the Wookiee people. (POC)

Bledsoe
this man was an expert in the fields of disease and medicine, and worked for the Empire during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Dr. Bledsoe was a strong supporter of the Emperor's xenophobic policies, a stance that earned him a great deal of attention from the Alliance. He was captured by a group of Alliance agents shortly after the Battle of Yavin and held for questioning. He was eventually freed by an Imperial strike force. (SWGAL)

Bledsoe's Disease
this strange affliction was bioengineered by the Empire, under the direction of Doctor Kaaldar, in the years following the Battle of Yavin. Specific strains of the disease could be unleashed, each causing unique reactions. In general, Bledsoe's causes the skin to burn, then begins discoloring the victim's eyes. The discoloration resolves itself into a starfield pattern, and the individual strains reveal individual patterns. Each of the patterns, however, is a star-map which showed the location of an Alliance base. Imperial forces were instructed to watch for outbreaks of the disease, then round up the victims and read the star-maps in their eyes. Thus, attacks could be made on Alliance bases without open communication of the next target. Luke Skywalker contracted Bledsoe's on Tatooine, and was taken into custody. He and Anduvil managed to escape from Doctor Kaaldar's laboratory and warn the Alliance about the use of Bledsoe's. (CSWEA)

Blee'starn
this city was located on an island in the eastern hemisphere of the planet Bothawui. (SPG)

B'len Jor
this Gorothite term was used to describe the secondary reactions which occurred in the clouds of emissions which spewed forth from the Imperial processing plants established on Goroth Prime. The term literally meant "deathlight." (GSE)

Blendin, Jerrol
this man was one of the more corrupt members of the Cloud City Wing Guard, during the administration of Lando Calrissian.

He was also easily bribed, and was on the payroll of several minor crime figures. (CCG5)

Blending Field

Blenjeel
this desert planet was located far from most hyperspace lanes. The sands of Blenjeel were noted for their unusual consistency, which shifted over time. Rocky outcroppings which were stable one day seemed to sink into the sand the next day. Much of this change was attributed to the movements of sand burrowers. Some ten years after the Battle of Endor, a merchant ship was shot down over Blenjeel. Investigation by Jaden Korr revealed that the ship had been shot down by Imperial forces based on the planet's surface, in an attempt to conceal the Imperial presence on the planet. (JKA)

Bl'Era'Har
this was name of the rudimentary, defensive sensor system that was employed by the ancient Gorothites. The term "Bl'Era'Har" literally meant "Sky-Track," which was a basic description of the sensor suite and its duties. It was funded and operated by the D'Jar'Min. Using the Bl'Era'Har, the D'Jar'Min were able to discover the asteroids which were sent against Goroth Prime by the Corellian and Aqualish factions that were fighting for mining rights to the planet. Unfortunately, the Bl'Era'Har could only provide a few hours' notice of the impending collisions. The orbital defenses of Goroth Prime employed ion cannons, which were ineffectual against the huge asteroids. The impacts caused an event known in the Gorothite language as Se'Lenti - The Scouring. (GSE)

He accompanied Jax to Yinchorr aboard the Emperor's Revenge, and escaped the dying ship in Jax's shuttle. He followed Jax to The Squall, and was ordered to shoot Kanos if he got the upper hand in their personal duel. However, before Blim could execute Kanos, he was shot in the head by Mirith Sinn.

Blin, Vildar
this Alliance reconnaissance scout was assigned to Echo Base, just prior to the Battle of Hoth. His background was in special forces, with experience in first-response tactics. Corporal Blin joined the Alliance after his own brother, a member of COMPNOR, betrayed his family to the Empire. During the Battle of Hoth, Corporal Blin was killed in the explosion when Wedge Antilles tripped an AT-AT walker. Blin and his team were assigned to recover what they could from the walker's hull, but an overzealous pilot destroyed the walker before the team could be notified. (CCG3, SWI74)

Blind Luck
this aging freighter was owned and operated by Desric Fol, and was used as an independent scouting vessel during the Galactic Civil War. The ship was considered slow by most modern terms, and its computer systems rarely calculated predictable hyperspace routes. Fol was once told by the traffic control operators at Elrood that he should have the name changed, since it didn't inspire confidence in the crew's ability. (PG3)

Blind Mynock
this freighter was bound for the Hapes Cluster when it was attacked by Yuuzhan Vong coralskippers, shortly after the Second Battle of Coruscant. It was rescued from destruction by the sudden appearance of Jagged Fel and Shawnkyr Nuruodo. In the ambush, the navigational computer of the Blind Mynock was damaged, so the ship could not make the jump to Hapes without assistance from Fel. (DJ)

(WOTC)

Blissex, Lira
see Wessex, Lira (SF, COTF)

Blissex, Walex
one of the key designers of the original Victory-class Star Destroyer, he was an Engineer for the Old Republic. Blissex was the lead designed on the team which developed the Delta-7 Aethersprite for the Jedi Knights, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. He later improved upon this design when he developed the Alpha-3 Nimbus fighter, which became known as the V-Wing. He went into hiding when the New Order was initiated by Emperor Palpatine, not wanting to be judged by his support of the Republic. However, when the Alliance began making headway in its battle against the Empire, Blissex re-emerged. His daughter, Lira Wessex, laid a trap for him by having her husband send an all-systems message, requesting that Blissex come to see his "dying daughter." Lira and enn Wessex had dispatched the Star Destroyer Subjugator to intercept Blissex at Kwenn space station. Although the Alliance fought against the idea, Blissex opted to visit ihis daughter, taking a small group of Alliance agents with him for support. When the plot against him was revealed, Blissex and the agents were thrown into the shpi's brig. Shortly afterward, the Subjugator was attacked by Task Force Starfall Alliance starships which were unaware of Blissex's presence. The Alliance agents fought to escape from the brig and get free of the Subjugator before it exploded. They managed to survive, with Blissex's knowledge of the Victory-class ships and the Alliance agents' resourcefulness. He later provided his full resources to the Alliance, and was given the honorary rank of General for his contributions. He worked with Jan Dodonna to develop the A-Wing starfighter, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (SWSB, SF, CCG11, HNN4, SWDB)

Blizzard 2
this was the callsign of Brigadeer General Nevar's AT-AT, during the Battle of Hoth. It was heavily armored by Nevar, who was paranoid of losing his life in battle. The armor proved to be of little value when Alliance forces used harpoons and tow cables to trip the walker as it plodded forward. The force of the impact as it hit the icy ground buckled the armor plating, exposing gaps that Alliance gunners filled with laser fire. In short order, Blizzard 2 was destroyed, and all aboard were killed. (CCG3, IWST)

Blizzard 4
this was the callsign of one of the Imperial AT-AT walkers that was dispatched ot the planet Hoth during the height of the Galactic Civil War.

The Blizzard Force walkers proved too much for the Alliance forces, and precipitated the Imperial victory in the Battle of Hoth. The victory was sealed when the Cold Assault troopers breeched the gates of Echo Base's icy caverns, forcing the Alliance personnel to flee aboard their meager transports. (MTS, CCG3)

Blizzard Scout 1
this Imperial AT-ST scout walker, part of the Blizzard Force deployed during the Battle of Hoth, was heavily modified to withstand cold-weather combat. (CCG3)

Han Solo won the race three times as a smuggler, and later served as the Grand Marshall for the 93rd running, However, Czethros and his minions had sabotaged the course in hopes of eliminating Solo.

They were able to communicate a variety of emotions through the opening and closing of their nostril flaps, which they tattooed with a multitude of colors and patterns. These flaps also served to provide the Blood Carvers with the senses of small and hearings. They joined the Old Republic almost 100 years before the Battle of Naboo, after they were exterminated from their homeworld by the Lontars. Only a few hundred survived, and nearly all migrated to Coruscant. They were known as artists and assassins, two seemingly opposite traits. However, the Blood Carvers considered the art of sculpture - especially of blood tree wood, which gave them their name - as a form of assassination, taking away what wasn't needed to leave the best behind. Every Blood Carver was taught that the accumulation of wealth was a sin of the ego, and and profit was returned to their homeworld to help the greater good. When they died, Blood Carvers were ritually cremated, to return them to nature. (RP, EGA, UANT)

Blood Code
this is the name given by the Snivvian race to their genetic pattern. It has been engineered and refined over the millennia in an attempt to weed out the occurance of twin males in a single birth. The initial results were very promising. The incidence of twin males dropped almost to zero, and the Snivvians prospered. However, the strength of mind and body that resulted from this genetic manipulation made them prime targets for Thalassian slavers. The Thalassians began transporting large numbers of Snivvians off Cadomai through hyperspace, providing them to the highest bidders. It is believed that prolonged exposure to hyperspcae travel has mutated the Blood Code, for several instances of twin males have occurred recently. (GG12)
