this Old Corellian phrase translated to "I want no bad blood between us," and was often whispered to indicate the speaker's desire for non-aggression. (SWJ7)

Mina
see Nima'tar (T8)

Mina
this purplish moon orbited the planet Hanchin, which was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. It was best known as the site of a religious retreat, which was maintained by the Vashan people at Inicus Mont. Because of its celestial positioning, Mina was always covered in light from Hanchin, resulting in very short nighttime periods. Note that this moon is referred to as Qina as well as Mina in Star Wars Gamer, issue 9. (GMR9)

Minak, Lett
this man was a smuggler who worked for the Empire after the Battle of Endor. He was employed by Moff Feleea, but their personal relationship was strained. Minak was approached by Moff Relans, who offered him the opportunity to work as a spy for his organization, Minak agreed, and outwardly worked for Feleea aboard his freighter, the Shadow. On the side, Minak fed Feleea false information given to him by Moff Relans. Working this way, Minak received protection from both Moffs, ensuring his own safety and a regular income. (HR)

Minan
this was the name used to describe the human population of the moon Mina. (GMR9)

Minashee
this industrial world was located among the Cassandran Worlds, in the Outer Rim Territories. After the Empire split the Cassandran Worlds apart, Minashee became the capital of the Tadrin Sector. (GORW)

Minas-Lergo
this small corporation produced a variety of cargo and passenger cars, used to move about in sealed environments on hostile planets. (GSE)

Minch
this Jedi Knight, a member of the same species as Yoda and Yaddle, served the Jedi Order some 700 years before the Battle of Yavin. Minch and several other newly-commissioned jedi Knights were dispatched to the Bpfassh System, where a Bpfasshi Dark Jedi had been terrorizing the system. Aboard the Takara, Minch confronted the Dark Jedi, but was no match for his formidable skills. However, Minch's Jedi Master, a Zabrak named T'dai, arrived to corner the Dark Jedi. Unfortunately, the Dark Jedi took his own life, rather than be captured by the Jedi. The Dark Jedi's Master, however, managed to escape and fled to Dagobah. Minch took a starfighter and chased him down, against the orders of Master T'dai. Although Minch managed to defeat the Bpfasshi Master in a cave on the planet, the Dark Jedi's tainted blood seeped into the ground and imbued the planet with Dark Side energy. Note that this character might actually be the Jedi Master Yoda, who was given the name Minch Yoda in early drafts of the script for Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. (T16, TAS)

Mind Evaporator
this was the Basic translation of a Wookiee term for any addictive video game that lacked any form of educational purpose. (X3)

Mind Prison
this unusual, box-shaped device was believed to have been created by the ancient Rakatan people. Outwardly, it resembled a cargo crate. However, when improperly opened, the mind prison took control of the opener's mind and drew them inside. To the unwitting victim, the inside of the box resembled a featureless, white room lined with pillars. Within the room is a Rakatan individual who challenges the victim to answer a series of riddles. The Rakatan himself claimed to have been a former leader who started a civil war and was imprisoned for his crimes. Although his body was long-dead, his mind was trapped in the room, and the only way he could get out was to take over another being's body. Thus, if the victim failed to answer his questions correctly, the Rakatan took control of their body and could attempt an escape. (KOTOR)

Mind Shard
this was an offensive form of telepathy, in which the wielder drove daggers of psychic energy into their victim's mind. The effect was that the victim's neural pathways were disrupted, and the victim felt intense pain in their mind. (UANT)

Mindabaal
this planet was decimated by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. Its populace was nearly wiped out, but there are rumors that the rightful king escaped the destruction. His two daughters survived because they were off-planet at the time of the attack. Mindabaal is located in the Outer Rim Territories. (SWJ5)

Mindabaal Custom Yacht
this 30.1-meter-long pleasure craft was designed to be customized to meet the needs of individual owners. It needed a pilot and co-pilot to operate, and could transport up to eight passengers and 35 metric tons of cargo. The base model was unarmed. (PP)

Mindabaal Royal Academy
a prestigious boarding school found on Mindabaal. (SWJ5)

Min-Dal Company
this armor manufacturer attempted to test its JX4 prototype Gladiator battle armor on the criminals in the Soruus System. These criminals were pitted in battles to the death, which were wagered on by the bureaucrats. However, the Gladiator armor was so good that the criminals were able to shield themselves with it and escape from the prison. They caused heavy amounts of damage before being recaptured by Imperial forces. Min-Dal was then forced to cancel its production of battle armor. (SWJ3, GUN)

Mindar
a planet where Han Solo and Leia Organa battled a squad of stormtroopers. (CPL)

Mindavar
this Outer Rim world was populated during the last years of the Old Republic. A virus struck the settlers just as Palpatine was taking control of the galaxy, and their calls for help went unnoticed in the turnover. The majority of the population was wiped out. (SWJ4)

Mindemir
this planet, the primary world in the Mindemir System, was a member of the Old Republic. Jenna Zan Arbor had planned to use the water supply of Mindemir in her experiments, but was blocked from doing so by the laws of the Senate. In a daring move, Senator Uta S'orn proposed the lifting of these laws, ostensibly in the name of saving lives on other worlds, and then falsified Senate records to ensure that the measure was ratified. (TDR)

Minder
this was a slang term used to describe those Old Republic physicians who were also empaths, and worked to ensure the mental and emotional well-being of their patients. Minders found a particular niche during the Clone Wars, helping patients as well as doctors handle the stresses of on-going conflict and death. (MBS)

Mindharp
this fabled, magical talisman was considered the most valuable of the Treasures of the Sharu. The Mindharp was a meter-long tool shaped like a fork, very similar in appearance to, but much larger than, the Key of the Overpeople. It was hidden in the Great Pyramid on Rafa V, awaiting the emergence of the Bearer and Emissary. According to legend, the Mindharp was the tool that the Toka could use to recall the Sharu. The legends were built by the Sharu themselves, in order to hide themselves in the guise of the Toka. It was said that the Mindharp would call the Sharu back to aid the Toka in an emergency. However, the true purpose of the Mindharp was to unlock the hidden knowledge of the Sharu and re-establish their intelligence networks. These networks were hidden eons ago when the Sharu were frightened by a superior power. They hid all their knowledge in huge computer banks, and locked all but one of their number in the disguise of the ignorant Toka, awaiting a time when the danger had passed and they could re-emerge. The Mindharp was pursued by Lando Calrissian and Mohs during the early years of the New Order, after Lando was set up by Ottdefa Osuna Whett to be the Bearer. They ultimately recovered the Mindharp, but it was taken into the possession of Duttes Mer, who was to provide the artifact to the Tund Sorcerer Rokur Gepta. However, Mer activated the Mindharp himself, setting off cataclysmic changes in the Rafa System that destroyed the life-orchards and restored the intelligence of the Toka, this bringing about the restoration of the Sharu civilization. (LCM)

Mind-Jam
this coin-game often found in bars and casinos. (HSE)

Mindnet
this Marasan construct links the cybernetic implants of all Marasan government officials into a single communications path. It allows each of the electnodes to contribute to a group decision, which can be made almost instantaneously once all information is available. The Grand Daern then collates the data from the electnodes and issues a final judgement. (GG12)

Mindnight Fire Clan
this was one of the many Togorian clans. (MIS8)

Mindor
this planet was the site of a battle between Luke Skywalker and his New Republic troops, and the Imperial forces of Lord Shadowspawn. The Imperials fought to the death, and General Skywalker deeply regretted the incredible loss of life. Six months later, Skywalker resigned his commission with the New Republic. (ECH)

Mindori
this one of the many small mining settlements established on the planet Kallistas. Located north of Trevalis, Mindori was the second-oldest settlement on the planet. The settlement was located nearby the planet's largest natural oasis and fruit grove. (GG10)

Minds and Perceptions: A Comparative Study of Persuasive Techniques During the Galactic Civil War
this work described, in detail, the various methods used by the Empire, the Corporate Sector Authority, and the Alliance to extract information from captives. It was written by Ulm-Aaa-Janzikek, and was published by Triplanetary Press. (CSA)

Mind-to-Mind
this was the Basic term that described the Vratix method of communication. It was the only phrase that the Vratix could use to describe the hive-like communication between individuals. (SWI64)

Mind-Ugly-Ug
a term used by Halla for bureaucratic fools like Grammel. (SME)

Mindwarper Module
this form of DarkStryder technology was powered by the intense energies contained in the Lifewell. When activated, the Mindwarper module emitted a form of energy that reduced the willpower of a being and rendered them unconscious. Like most DarkStryder technology, though, the Mindwarper module was only usable in Kathol Sector. Any attempt to remove it from the Sector and use it would result in the destruction of the module. (E)

Mindwipe
this was another term for the complete erasure of a droid's memory. This term was often used by the droids themselves, since it implied that the droid's computer memory was actually a form of mind, and not a piece of technology. (MBS)

Mind-witch
this unique humanoid species has intense mental abilities. They lure individuals near to them, then probe the being's mind to find out what they like and desire. A relationship is then established with the individual, which the mind-witch forming a psychic link by creating an illusory environment which is highly desirable to the individual. The mind-witch can then leech the mental and life-energies of its victim in order to replenish its own energies. Some well-skilled mind-witches also have some telekinetic powers. (CSW)

Mine
this was the generic term used to describe a detonation device that can be distributed into open space and left there, lying in wait for unsuspecting ships to pass by. There are many different kinds of mines. Most were considered passive, or contact, mines: they sat in space until a passing ship physically touched them, at which point they exploded. Some were heat-seeking mines, armed with lasers that are targetted to the source of heat. There were also combination mines, designed to explode on contact but also armed. There were three kinds of combination mines: Type A, a 15-meter-long mine armed with a single laser cannon and a 5-RU hull; Type B, similar in armament to the Type A mine, but with a different shape; and Type C, a 5-meter-long mine armed with a single laser cannon, a warhead launcher, and a 5-RU hull. The rarest kind of mine, known simply as an active mine, was equipped with proximity sensors and a propulsion system. Whenever a large object triggered a proximity alarm, an active mine homed in on it and moved to intercept it. This characteristic made active mines difficult to deploy and maintain, leading to their limited deployment. (TIE, WOTC)

Mineclan
this was the term used to describe a family on the planet Averill which owned and operated a mine. Each mineclan was an autonomous entity, but all mineclans worked together for the greater good of the planet. (SWJ13)

Minehold
this was the name of a family-owned mining operation on the planet Averill. Before the New Order, many mineholds existed, with each family inheriting the mine through succeeding generations. When the Empire subjugated Averill, the individual mineholds were nationalized into a monopolistic entity. (SWJ13)

Minelayer
this Imperial ETR-3 escort transport was destroyed by the Azzameen family during their attempt to acquire a spy satellite, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)

Miner, Pillar
this man was among the slaves who were captured by the Yuuzhan Vong and forced to work aboard the dhuryam seedship controlled by Ch'Gang Hool, shortly after the Battle of Coruscant. Pillar suffered massive injuries when he mistakenly wandered into a grove of immature amphistaffs. He failed to realize that the young creatures were just as dangerous as the mature adults, and was viciously attacked. Jacen Solo tried to save him, but his injuries were too severe. (T)

Mineral Assets Partnership
this large corporation funded a number of mining operations during the last century of the Old Republic. They went bankrupt after a number of expensive failures. (SWJ1)

Mineral Exploiter
these starships, developed by the Hutts under the auspices of the Orko SkyMine corporation, were designed to process the ores found in asteroids. These huge, boxy ships were simply huge cargo ships which were connected to mouth-like scoops. The scoops collected asteroids and held them in place while turbolaser emplacements blasted the asteroids to rubble. The throat of the Mineral Exploiter then sifted the rubble for the more precious ores, sending them to processing units that formed them into ingots. The useless material was discarded. They were designed by Bevel Lemelisk, who had been captured by Durga the Hutt for the purpose of designing a superweapon the Hutts could use to control the galaxy. Unfortunately, he designed them too well, for the first two devoured each other, thinking that the ores they each contained were found in regular asteroids. (DS)

Miners' Guildhall
located in Tel Boillin, this was the primary meeting place for the geode miners who worked on the planet Endregaad during the early years of the New Order. (TF)

Miner's Horror
this immense creature was first discovered 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin by a group of pirates who stumbled upon a specimen. Their distress calls were almost ignored, and the only ship to respond found a holed wreck and a number of unusual creatures. The crew managed to kill one and return with it, and subsequent encounters have been quickly investigated. Measuring more than 20 meters in length when fully-grown, the miner's horror resembled a huge, segmented mollusk with several large spines sticking out from its back. Their heads are dominated by a single, immense eye, and their mouths are filled with saw-like teeth which can dig through solid rock. They exist in the hard vacuum of space, floating from asteroid to asteroid to obtain food. They grind up any rocks they locate into digestible pieces, and a single miner's horror has been documented to consume an entire asteroid field over the course of several decades. Despite their fearsome appearnce, they are slow-moving, and can be avoided. (COG)

Miner's Town
located on Mon Gazza, this was the town that grew to support the miners who worked in the planet's spice mines. (RAC)

Miner's Yard
this was the name given to the area of space near the planet Tatooine, where miners established a presence during their attempt to mine ores from the meager asteroid belt in the Tatoo System, during the Galactic Civil War. (SWGAL)

Mine-spire
this was the Basic translation of the Muun name for those vault-spires that were set aside exclusively for mining ores that were eventually exported off the planet Muunilinst. (GORW)

Minestra
this Rendili StarDrive light corvette was part of Drea Renthal's pirate fleet. It had been captured from a skirmish with Imperial forces and modified to have concussion missiles and ion cannons to supplement the normal laser turrets. Renthals' distinctive blazing claw insignia was obvious on both sides of the ship. The Minestra, along with the Too Late Now, destroyed the Vigilance during the early hours of the Battle of Nar Shaddaa. (THG)

MineSystems
this speciallized manufacturer produced a variety of life support and emergency equipment used by miners. (FBS)

Minet
this was a common name among Cerean females. Unlike their male counterparts, Cerean females use a single name unless they became a bond-wife. In this case, a female will take on their husband's grandfather's name for official matters. The name Minet indicated a gem, jewel, or other treasure. (GCG)

Mineth
this was one of the many names given to female Bothans. In the Bothan language, it meant "musical" - or, more literally, likes to sing." (GCG, WOTC)

Ming, Callista
a Jedi Knight from Chad III, she grew up with her family on an ocean ranch, migrating on the Algic Current with the herds of tsaelke. Callista was discovered by the maverick Jedi master Djinn Altis at a late age, and agreed to train with him at his facility on Bespin, and later aboard his personal training ship, the newly-christened Chu'unthor. It was during this training that she first met a fellow Jedi named Geith. When she accepted the assignement to intercept and disable the Eye of Palpatine, she and Geith - who was now her lover - were unable to completely eliminate the threat of the ship. So, Callista decided to stay behind and try to disable the ship while Geith returned to get more help. When Geith was killed during his escape attempt, Callista sacrificed her physical body and left her Force-aura in the ship's automated firing computer. Years later, when Luke Skywalker, Cray Mingla, and Nichos Marr rediscovered the Eye of Palpatine, Callista fired on them, thinking that they were Imperial troops come to recover the ship. Then, Irek activated the ship's remote controls, re-initiatiing its original mission. Callista was unable to determine the causes, but she was able to sense Luke's string Force-presence when he was brought on board. She helped him rescue Cray and Nichos, but refused Luke's attempts to store her consciousness in a computer. However, when Cray decided to stay behind and detonate the ship, she gave Callista her own physical body. Callista escaped the Eye of Palpatine, but she could not longer touch the Force. So, while she loved Luke, she felt that they could not be together forever. The two tried everything they could think of to help her regain her Force sensitivity, but she only succeeded in finding the Dark Side. She vowed that, if the Dark Side was all she could touch, then she wanted nothing to do with the Force. This opened a rift between herself and Luke, which widened with each failure. When the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 was attacked by Admiral Daala's fleet, Callista took matters into her own hands, and set out to strike a blow against the Empire, even without the abilities of the Force. She commandeered a TIE Bomber and landed on the Knight Hammer, quickly sabotaging the ship's complement of TIE Bombers to detonate their payloads and rip out the Super-class Star Destroyer's engines. She then went to confront Daala, allowing the Dark Side to wash over her as she tried to kill Daala. Daala succeeded in stunning Callista, while the Knight Hammer plunged into the core of Yavin. Callista was not killed when the ship exploded, however. She recovered, and escaped in one of the command-level emergency pods. She fled the New Republic and Luke, setting out to break through the barrier of the Dark Side in order to recover her powers. She felt that she needed to do this herself, and sent a final message to Luke, asking him to understand. Her travels led her to Nam Chorios, where she was drawn into the web of Taselda and Beldorion the Hutt. She tried to learn about the Force from both former Jedi, but was unable to truly regain her power. Taselda enslaved her with the promise of returned strength, using Callista to strike at Beldorion. After escaping the old woman, Callista realized that she was trying too hard to restore her Force sensitivity. She felt that this would lead herto the Dark Side, so she allowed herself to become Beldorion's slave as well. This fear - the fear of falling into the Dark Side completely - was what kept Callista from rejoining Luke. She came to understand the strange relationship between the Force in the Spooks and the Therans, and joined one of their troops in working to keep the drochs from leaving the planet. It was Callista who re-initiated Leia Organa-Solo's lightsber training, while they were spending time in a Theran camp. After the defeat of Dzym and Seti Ashgad, Callista again fled Luke, joining Umolly Darm and Be' as rock ivory hunters until she found her way in the Force. (COJ, DS, POT, SWJ14, NEGC, SWDB)

Minga
this musical style was popular among the youths of the galaxy, during the height of the New Order. It was similar in many respects to the b'ssa nuuvu style. (GMR6)

Mingla, Cray
a beautiful woman, Cray also happened to be one of the galaxy's foremost innovators in artificial intelligence during the early years of the New Republic. She was also somewhat adept in the use of the Force, having attended Luke Skywalker's academy on Yavin 4. Tall, slim, and energetic, Cray's expertise in AI earned her a doctorate at the Magrody Institute. She fell in love with Nichos Marr, and the two were engaged when they arrived at Yavin 4 for Jedi training. When Nichos was diagnosed with Quannot's Disease, Cray worked feverishly to create a cyborg body for him. She delved into the Ssi-ruuk entechment techniques, but could not completely recover his humanity. She continued to strive to make Nichos a better "man." (COJ)

Mingla, Margolis
Cray's mother, she never manifested any power with the Force. Her mother was strong with the Force, as is her daughter, Cray. (COJ)

Mini Rail Cannon
this small but high-powered weapon was produced by Rika/Moab during the last decades of the Old Republic, as an upgrade to the weapons systems of a combat droid. (YDR)

Miniad
this was the modified FA-504s transport used by Nir Rinit, during his tenure on the planet Naalol. It was armed with a single laser cannon. (GMR5, WOTC)

Miniaturized Translator Droid
see M-TD (HTF)

Mini-detonator
any small, hand-held detonation device which can be thrown at its target. (AS)

MiniLab
this portable testing device provides quick, though not often accurate, chemical and biological analysis of substances found in the field by scouts and explorers. (GG8)

MiniMag
this shoulder-mounted proton torpedo launcher was produced by Krupx during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, but remained in production for many decades. It was considered a simpler weapon than the Merr-Sonn PLX, but it was nevertheless equally effective. There were adaptor kits produced for the MiniMag that allowed it to accept other projectile weapons, and the changeover could be done in the battlefield in short order. The MiniMag lacked a sophisticated targetting system instead relying on the sighting abilities of its user. The MiniMag was one of many Clone Wars-era weapons that were later used by the stormtroopers of the Empire. (SHPT, SWDB)

Mining Barque
designed and built by Trilon, Incorporated, this mobile mining vehicle was quite common among scouts and explorers who also did their own mining. At 80 meters in length, the Mining Barque can carry six miners and has a cargo hold which can contain up to 1,000 cubic meters of ores. Specialized sensor arrays allow its crew of three to search out precious and semi-precious metals and minerals from orbit, and the ship's holds are equipped with testing and processing systems to ensure only the high-quality products are retained. The Barque is hyperspace-capable, and, although it was minimally shielded, it was armed with a turbolaser and a heavy mining laser. Of course, the mining laser was designed to cut through rock and exposed the ores below. However, several less reputable scouts have taken to landing their Barque on a competitor's ship and using the mining laser to cut it open. (GG8)

Mining Crawler
this huge machine is similar to the Jawa Sandcrawler, and performed the function those sandcrawlers were designed to perform. They blast up large pieces of rock and draw it into huge processing facilities within its structure. The processed ore is stored for later delivery to a central collection center, while the scree is simply dumped out. (SWJ8)

Mining Digger Crawler
originally developed by Corellia Engineering, these lumbering vehicles were used to mine ores from a variety of planets. Measuring 120 meters in length and standing twenty meters tall at the cockpit, the Mining Digger Crawler moved about on four huge treads that could move the vehicle at speeds around thirty kilometers per hour. Note that The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels indicates that this vessel was just 36.8 meters in length. A crew of fifty-seven - four pilots, twelve engineers, forty workers, and a "crawler master" - were required to operate the machine. A number of these mining vehicles were dispatched to the planet Tatooine, after initial colonization attempts hinted at the possibility of metals and ores hidden in the desert. When these claims were proven false, the crawlers were abandoned. They were later scavenged by the Jawas, and modified to serve as sandcrawlers. Note that the Arms and Equipment Guide indicates that the Mining Digger was manufactured by Corellia Mining Corporation. (SOT, AEG, NEGV)

Mining Droid
large, stocky droids used in the spice mines of Kessel to collect the spice hidden there. They are green in color. (GDV)

Mining Guild
based on Coruscant, this quasi-political body controlled much of the mining throughout the galaxy during the last decades of the Old Republic and into the era of the New Order. It was originally formed in the early days of space exploration, and may pre-date the formation of the Old Republic. Most historians agreed that the Guild originated in the Core, but were unsure of its exact origin. Emperor Palpatine seduced the Guild's officers into aligning themelves with the Empire, solidifying his sources of raw materials for the Imperial war machine while allowing the Guild to remain "independent." The Guild rose to a new level of power under the government of the New Republic, and began to command high prices for the ores its members delivered. (ESB, CE2, LOE, WOA34)

Mining Investment Statues
this was the set of rules and regulations that were established for the mining industry on the planet Bandomeer, after the Offworld Mining Company was removed from power and expelled from the planet, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. The MIS ensured that the mining operations worked together to monitor Bandomeer's resources and use hired labor, and not indentured workers, in their workforces. (GORW)

Mining Laser Platform
built by Quarren Industrial, this repulsorlift sled is equipped with a heavy-duty boring laser. It has a shielded cockpit, and is used by the Quarren for moving through the rock and material of the mantle of Calamari. (DU)

Mining Machine
this was the term used to describe the hundreds of mining facilities that were originally established by the Old Republic on the planet Makem Te. Each Mining Machine was a complex of barracks and driller garages that operated in its own quarry, extracting ores, minerals, stone, and even spice from the planet's crust. Because ownership of the Mining Machines was not based on Makem Te, these facilities were often targets by the fanatical penitents of the Temple of the Beatific Razor. (GORW)

Mining Machine Number 9
located to the south of the city of Thousand Thousand, on the planet Makem Te, Mining Machine Number 9 was one of the largest open mines found on the planet. Surrounded by a complex arrangement of barracks and garages, the mine plunged deep into the planet's crust, revealing layers of rock, ore, and raw spice. (WOTC, GORW)

Mining Machines
this was the term used to describe the immense, self-contained settlements created on the planet Makem Te when the Congress of Caliphs opened the planet to offworld corporations. The Mining Machines were centered on deep, open mines, from which workers extracted valuable ores and raw spice. Most of the Mining Machines were built and maintained by the Old Republic, although many were badly damaged by the Temple of the Beatific Razor during the years just prior to the Clone Wars. (WOTC, GORW)

Mining Outpost 11
this was the primary base from which the independent miners - and later, the Empire - staged mining operations within the Graveyard of Alderaan, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (GA)

Mining Outpost Station
developed and manufactured by YsreTech, this 400-meter-long space station was designed for mining and refining of sapce-borne gases. It required a crew of ten to operate, and had space for 100 miners and support personnel. The station also had the capacity to accommodate 1,000 metric tons of supplies and equipment. (SWJ6)

Mining Quarter
this section of Cloud City was inhabited by the multitude of miners who worked at the outpost. The population of the Mining Quarter was predominantly made up of Ugnaughts. (GG2)

Mining Station Alpha
located near the planet Ithor in the Lesser Plooriod Cluster, Hoole tried to reach this asteroid mining outpost to gather ethromite for the Shroud. Shortly before their arrival, Hodge and his crew had discovered a cave that was dominated by a statue of an Ithorian. The creature depicted was in great fear of something, with its hands outstretched in front and its eyes wide open. He asked Hoole and Fandomar about it, but they couldn't immediately come up with a reason for its existence. It guarded a well-defended tomb, in which the Ithorians had enclosed the entity known as Spore. The tomb was then confiscated by the Dark Jedi Jerec for the Emperor's use, although its contents had been removed before he could get there. Hodge and his men had opened the tomb, hoping to find treasure, but instead were infected by Spore. Jerec left the asteroid after failing to recover Spore, and Fandomar then destroyed the station in an effort to kill Spore. However, Spore got of the asteroid inside Hodge's body. (GOF9)

Minions of Xendor
Han Solo often used the expression "by the Minions of Xendor" when he was surprised by something. It referred to those beings who supported the ancient Kashi Mer exile, Xendor, during the First Great Schism. See also Xendor's Minions. (TPS, GMR5)

Mini-scan
this small, portable scanner was developed to be carried in a pouch. It could provide technical information on a computer or other electronic system. (MC52)

MiniSci Arcology
this was the primary location of the Old Republic's Ministry of Science, found in Coruscant's Galactic City. (HNN5)

Minister of Scout Services
this position within the New Republic was set up to oversee the efforts of the New Republic Scout Service and the services scouts which worked for it. (GG8)

Ministry Council
this Senatorial council of the New Republic government managed the day-to-day operations of the Republic's various ministries. (SOL)

Ministry of Defense and Offense
this was the name of the primary governmental body charged with the protection of the citizens of Delaluna, during the decades leading up to the Clone Wars. (LOJ)

Ministry of Industry
this was one of the primary branches of the government of the Tion Hegemony, during the early years of the New Order. Like much of the Tion Hegemony during this time, the Ministry of Industry was unable to keep up with the demands of the modern galaxy, especially during the upheaval that followed the Clone Wars and the establishment of the Empire. The Ministry's officers fell woefully behind in their work, which allowed many unscrupulous corporations to take advantage of the situation. The Ministry of Industry began to allow mining permits to be issued, but lacked the manpower to investigate the operations, which allowed these corporations enough time to strip a planet of its natural resources and abandon it before the Ministry could apprehend them. (HSL)

Ministry of InterGalactic Transit
this Imperial body was responsible for monitoring and licensing the interstellar transport of substances and commodities. (SWJ2)

Ministry of Technology
this building, located in Caballa City on Exocron, was the headquarters of the Devisors. As such, it was also the planet's capital building. (KO)

Minka
this female being, a feline humanoid, served the Alliance as a starfighter pilot in the Cantros System during the last days of the Galactic Civil War. She was one of a handful of pilots who survived the Empire's attack on the Cantros System, shortly after the Battle of Endor, and she was the only pilotto make it to Saijo before she was shot down. She was stunned to learn that the Emperor had been defeated at Endor, since Imperial forces in the Cantros System were as strong as ever. Her appearance on saijo alerted the Alliance to the treachery of Durne, who was eventually captured and held for questioning. (MC93)

Minlet Missile
this was a form of tiny concussion missile manufactured during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ4)

Minmirn, Kimp
this Quarren geneticist was hired by Mils Giel to help create a mutant breed of Tirrith that could be used as a biological weapon. Minmirn succeeded in every endeavor, creating a mutant strain of Tirrith that exuded toxic gas, rather than a simple knockout gas. This mutant strain wanted nothing more than to kill any living being it came into contact with, a trait that was bred into them through cruel handling and treatment. Unfortunately, when Giel decided that it was time to unleash his new weapon, he didn't want any loose ends lying around.

Minnix
this Trandoshan was a noted drug dealer, working from a base on Nar Shaddaa during the early years of the New Order. In addition to selling the more common drugs, Minnix was also known as a dealer of tempest spice, which kept him relatively rich while ensuring that his own addiction to tempest was satisfied.

Minos-Mestra Corporation
originally formed by VernanGroup, this mining and large-scale manufacturing corporation grew into a galaxy-wide megacorporation during the last century of the Old Republic. Its primary source of raw materials is the Mestra System's asteroid field, to which the corporation holds ownership rights. However, as the Republic began to rot from within, VernanGroup's fortunes began to wane. The Minos Cluster fell into economic depression as Palpatine assumed the Presidency, and VernanGroup was forced to sell its shares to local investors. Since the institution of the New Order, Minos-Mestra has become driven by short-term profits at any cost. Miners are abused in order to obtain more ore, and security is tight. The need for security helped create a new branch of the corporation, providing police, emergency services, and armed forces to the Mestra System. Primary headquarters for the corporation are located on Shesharile 5, while a local office is found on Javis-12. (GG6)

Minstrel
this statue icon, along with its mistress the Dancing Goddess, was worshipped by the natives of the planet Arcan IV. The Minstrel was a trivial being, however, lacking the Dancing Goddess' power. While Lemo and Sanda searched for it, the Minstrel was in the possession of Lando Calrissian. Calrissian gave it to Dafi, in an effort to escape Arcan IV, and the Minstrel eventually ended up in Lemo's possession. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Han Solo discovered that the Dancing Goddess and the Minstrel were two necessary components in the massive machinery that kept the Godoan race vital. They set out to recover the statue, in hopes of reviving the Godoan civilization. Lemo had used it as the basis for his organization's funding, but he landed in prison and couldn't control things from there. When Han Solo questioned Lemo about it, Lemo agreed to turn the statue over in return for his freedom and a wealth of credits. Han then took the statue back to Godo. (LTA4, SWI67, MC79)
