Project Second Chance
this New Republic operation involved the hiring of a group of smugglers to assist the Kalinda System in repelling the Imperial and Corporate Sector forces which tried to control it. The Republic knew that the Kalindan military had been developing a technology that would negate the effects of a cloaking device, and wanted to make sure it didn't fall into the wrong hands. Implemented by Clivis Damand, the project was never given the consent of the Ruling Council, and was conducted without their knowledge. The goal of the project was for the smugglers to transport a modular command circuit to the Kalindans, which would be used to activate their deep-space defense network. The project was successful, and the Kalindans were able to repel both of the forces arrayed against them, seemingly without intervention from the New Republic. (TSK)

Project Starscream
this secret project was developed by Mammon Hoole and Borborygmus Gog, and directly funded by Emperor Palpatine. Its ultimate goal was the creation of a living army that was impervious to most forms of attack. The Project's primary laboratories were located on the planet Kiva, until an early experimental failure in the control of life and death wiped out all life on the planet. Gog assured that Hoole would be blamed for the accident, then secured continued funding from Palpatine. The Emperor placed Darth Vader in control of the project, which continued at a rapid pace. The first step in Gog's plan was to create life from nothing, and the result was the planet D'vouran. Despite this success, D'vouran outgrew its creators and escaped after consuming many of the Project's scientists. Gog continued, employing Doctor Evazan in an effort to bring the death back to life on the planet Necropolis. Evazan managed to discover a formula, but its effects were limited and required diligent planning. The next step involved discovering a way to propagate the army without continual expenditure, and involved the development of ancient viruses on Gobindi. Further experiments yielded the Nightmare Machine, which proved that Gog's scientists could extract a person's deepest fears from their mind and use them as a weapon, and a way to control the Force itself. This last step was never achieved, although a test subject was created by Gog. Known only as Eppon and called the first of Gog's Army of Terror, Eppon was a biological construct that could consume its opponents and grow stronger, could read their darkest fears and turn them against them, and could return from death rapidly. However, Hoole returned from hiding in an effort to thwart Gog's plans. In the end, Gog and Hoole battled on the planet Kiva, where the wraiths of the dead Kivans consumed Gog shortly after he destroyed Eppon. (GOF1, GOF2, GOF3, GOF4, GOF5, GOF6)

This ship transported Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and a team of Jedi to Asmeru, at the behest of Chancellor Valorum. In order to escape a trap laid by the Nebula Front, the pilot and co-pilot were forced to jettison the salon pod in its nose to distract the fighters harassing it. In the resulting explosion, the Prominence was able to break the tractor-beam lock but was shot by a planetside ion cannon. It skimmed the surface of a lake and was forced to land when two of its three engines were damaged. (COD)

Promised Land
according to legends that circulated through the Lower City of Taris during the centuries leading up to the Great Sith War, the Promised Land was a place where the Outcasts - those disenfranchised beings who lived in the Lower City - could exist without persecution and poverty. Unfortunately, the story of the Promised Land told that any being who entered it could never return to their former home. Some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, it was believed that the entrance to the Promised Land was somewhere in the sewers of the Lower City, but no such entrance was ever found. (KOTOR)

Prophets of the Dark Side
this was the name of a secretly-operating group of Imperial Intelligence agents who are continually spying on the galaxy's activities. The Prophets were all trained in the use of the Dark Side of the Force, and used their power to delve into the possible future outcomes of any event. During the height of the New Order, the Prophets were led by Kadann, the Supreme Prophet. The prophets appeared to be black-bearded individuals who wore gleaming black robes. After the Battle of Endor, each of the Prophets obtained a great deal of power within the remnants of the Empire, and many of them made some bold revelations and predictions. Among them, the Prophets supposedly had predicted the exact time and place for the destruction of both Death Stars by the Alliance. They continually worked to make sure their prophecies come true, at any cost, in order to retain their power. It was later discovered by Jedi Master Luke Skywalker that there were actually two groups of Dark Side adherents known as the Prophets of the Dark Side. The group led by Kadann was actually an offshoot of the true Prophets of the Dark Side, which evolved on the planet Dromund Kaas after Darth Millennial broke from the Rule of Two in the wake of the Battle of Ruusan, and established his own training center on the planet. These Prophets were eventually taken over by Emperor Palpatine, who used them to train his own group of hand-picked Dark Jedi. The Prophets eventually fled Dromund Kaas for Bosthirda, after they angered the Emperor. (LCJ, DSSB, WOTC)

It was armed with six heavy turbolasers and a pair of tractor beam projectors. (PG3)

Prosperous
this was one of the many droid-controlled cruisers that were assigned to the task force that accompanied General Grievous in his assault on Coruscant, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. During the Battle of Coruscant, the Prosperous was commandeered by Jedi Master Saesee Tiin and a group of survivors from the Impavid.

Protas
this native of Anobis was Elis' younger brother. He was nineteen years old at the time Han Solo came to Anobis to discuss a cease-fire to the civil war there. During the war, he had become proficient at laying traps that eliminated the farmers of the plains. He also had developed a close relationship with Anja Gallandro, based on the proximity of their families. When she returned to Anobis with Solo, she tricked him into attacking the Ynos' village during the early stages of the cease-fire. Protas was hot-headed enough to go along, and worked hard to lay traps for the returning farmers. He was going to make one last trap for Ynos, and returned to his house shortly after Anja set a burrowing detonator in the doorway. When Protas stepped across the threshold, he activated the explosive and was killed in the blast. (ROM)

Protean
this race of unusual beings was native to the planet Nathas I, in the Questal Sector. In their natural state, Proteans resemble man-sized blobs of protoplasmic clay. They live in small groups of five to ten individuals. They consume their food by surrounding it with their bodies and absorbing it through their skin. Individual Proteans have the ability to mold themselves into differnet shapes and can alter their coloration, and use their ability to change shape to capture their prey. The average intelligence of a Protean is quite low, although they have the ability to learn simple concepts and commands. Their homeworld is airless, forcing the Proteans to develop methods of absorbing oxygen through their skin. They can also survive in hard vacuum for short periods of time, and have just four senses: sight, touch, hearing, and chemical. They reproduce when two individuals combine their structures into a single, stone-like ball, and remain in this configuration for a standard year. When the ball cracks open, the original pair emerges with a new child. (SWJ12, AE)

Protectors, The
this was a term used by certain members of the Jedi Order to describe their membership, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was a term that sprang from the basic Jedi beliefs that all life must be protected and nurtured. As the Old Republic became more stagnant and the Jedi Order more insular, the Protectors was a term used with something more along the lines of conceit and pride, further evidence of how far the Jedi had fallen from their ancient ideals. (YDR)

Protein Pellets
this was a highly-nutritional but completely tasteless form of protein supplement that was used in many survival kits during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (SOJ)

Prothium

Protial, Fulkrehm
this man was one of the Alliance's most promising pilots, until he was shot down over Kostra. He was rescued by the natives, but their medical knowledge was insufficient to completely heal him. His legs were severely damaged,and he was unable to fly again. However, he served as an information gatherer, posing as a drunkard with little redeeming value to ge close to beings with information. The disguise was easy for Protial to put on, because he found that alcohol was his only solace after losing the ability to fly. He convinced Captain Rondell that he was still useful, despite his near-constant state of inebriation. Protial then spent his time in the bars of Berrol's Donn, posing as "that drunk in the corner" at Sangorn's Net and using the codename Trosilon. (CRO)

Protie
this slang term originated in the Elrood Sector, and was a short way to describe a protocol droid. (PG3)

Proto One
this ancient droid was once a security droid. Over the years, Proto One was forced to repair himself with spare parts, and he was shuffled from owner to owner until he ended up on Boonta. During the early years of the New Order, Proto One worked as a guard and mechanic at a scrapyard. There, he encountered R2-D2 and C-3PO, who were on the planet because their masters - Jord Dusat and Thall Joben - were racing in the Boonta Speeder Race. Although C-3PO did not trust Proto One, R2-D2 was confident in his abilities. When Boba Fett's droid BL-17 tried to destroy the White Witch, it was Proto One who opposed the droid and held it off long enough for R2-D2 to arrive and help drive it off. C-3PO later apologized to Proto One for his rude behavior. (DCAR)

Protobactin
this drug was used to combat radiation sickness, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (LFCW)

Protocapilary Transmitter
this was a form of communications array which was developed in the Outer Rim Territory during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. It was especially susceptible to atmospheric obstructions like clouds, which tended to reflect the signals it produced. (TAE)

Protocol Droid
a humanoid robot programmed in diplomacy, interpretation, and other skills necessary for interplanetary interactions. They are humanoid in shape so that they will fit in better among the races that are trying to interact. (SW, ESB)

Protocol of Gifts
this was the phrase used top describe the custom of the Twi'lek society in which a visitor always brought a gift for their host, as a sign of friendship and in exchange for their hospitality. The custom originated early in Twi'lek history, when different clans first met. Over the centuries, the Protocol of Gifts has been extended from personal meetings to business gatherings and the arrival of a starship to a port such as Kala'uun. Those spacers who failed to provide a gift to Koh'shak or his family were rebuffed. (PSPG)

Protocol of Hon Akua
this was the Yuuzhan Vong Shaper's law, governing the creation of grutchins. (EVR)

Protocol of Qah
this law of the Yuuzhan Vong Shapers involved the methods required to alter the memories of another Yuuzhan Vong, or even a lesser creature. The Shapers used a Qah cell to enter the subject's brain and implant a new memory, wiping out an old one in the process. Using this protocol, the Yuuzhan Vong could alter the "mission profile" of their starships, grutchins and other creatures. After the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, it was discovered that the Protocol of Qah was ineffective on the brain of a human. The human brain tended to reroute neural pathways on its own, making the Protocol of Qah moderately ineffective. Like all the Shaper protocols, it was contained in the Qang qhasa. (EVC, EVR, FP)

Protocol of Tsong
this was one of the laws which governed the work of a Yuuzhan Vong Shaper. It described the ways in which a provoker spineray could be used to agitate the nervous system of another being. Like all the Shaper protocols, it was contained in the Qang qhasa. (EVC, EVR)

Protocol of Vul Ag
this was one of the many laws which governed the work of a Yuuzhan Vong Shaper. It described the ways in which an engineered organism could be made to transpire more efficiently, but was reserved for use on more advanced organisms. Like all the Shaper protocols, it was contained in the Qang qhasa. (EVC, EVR)

Protocol Team
this was the name used by Ploovo Two-for-One to describe the group of thugs and killers he required to perform acts of violence in order to maintain his wishes. (AIR)

Protocols
this was the name given to the laws and regulations that governed the actions of the Yuuzhan Vong Shapers. The Protocols were rooted in a purely egocentric view of the universe, and were based on the Yuuzhan Vong's own physiology and the biology of their homeworld. Any belief that other forms of life could exist, let alone be superior in some way, was considered a heresy that was punishable by immediate death. Among these laws were the Protocols of Tsong and Vul Ag. (EVC)

Protocols, The
this set of laws which govern the challenges and duels which dominated Adumari society, the Protocols stipulate - among other things - that any duel must benefit both combatants. A young pilot who challenges an older, more experience pilot, will be refused under the Protocols, since the older pilot has nothing more to gain from the duel. Another Protocol used in fighter craft duels involved the setting of match numbers, which specified the size of the opposing teams. Once a challenge was made, the recipient could accept or decline, If they accepted, they had the right to set the match number. (SOA)

Proton 12
this is the designation of a Rendili StarDrive sublight engine. It is small, and is often used in a group to back-up a larger engine system, such as the Proton 2. (X1)

a small concussion bomb which is thrown at a target and scatters energy when detonated. (SWSB, CSW)

Proton Overload
this band sometimes played at Bantha Traxx, on the planet Lianna. (WSV)

Proton Rifle
this heavy rifle was the larger cousin of the proton carbine, and was developed to fire cohesive bolts of protons. (SWGAL)

Proton Tank
these large seige machines resembled large assault craft, and were armed with proton grenade launchers. They were also troop transports, and could safely deposit soldiers into a war zone. They were used during the last decades of the Old Republic, and were armed with ion cannons. (MOC)

Proton Torpedo
these weapons use a proton-scattering pod. The pod consisted of a fuel cell and a nucleonic igniter. When the torpedo strikes its target, the igniter smashes the atoms in the fuel cell, creating an enormous energy surge which destroys the target. While being very powerful, the proton torpedo can only travel at slow, sublight speeds. (SW, SWSB)

Proton-shock
this term was often used by smugglers to indicate an individual who was staring dazedly into space, describing the individual as "proton-shocked." (3D3)

Protosteel
this material was used to build the hulls of large starships. (HSE)

Prototyper
this device was developed during the final years of the Old Republic, as part of duplication system. The prototyper could read the outward appearance of an object in three dimensions, then pass digitized information on the object to the duplicator. The duplicator could then mass-produce copies of the original. Although developed for scientific applications, the prototyper and the duplicator eventually made their way onto the black market, where they were sold as counterfeiting devices. (HSL)

Protrean
this alien race resembles a crude clay statue of a humanoid lifeform. They are round beings, with no visible fingers or toes, and their bodies seem to flow and change. Protreans can alter their body color and texture to match their surroundings, which allows them to belnd into almost any environment. These creatures then lie in wait for their prey to wander too close. Protreans capture their prey by striking quicjkly, draping themselves around the victim's head to prevent any outcry and suffocating them at the same time. (GCQ)

Prouk
this Korunnai was a member of Kar Vastor's Akk Guards, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. He was a known gambler, but her always made sure to pay his debts. When Jedi Master Mace Windu tried to attack and capture the city of Pelek Baw, on the planet Haruun Kal, Prouk was one of many who sided with Vastor in keeping Depa Billaba free to make her own choices in terms of her loyalty. Prouk was one of several Akk Guards sent to apprehend the Jedi when he tried to infiltrate the droid control center in Pelek Baw. After dispatching several clone troopers of the Army of the Republic, Prouk leaped to attack Nick Rostu. Rostu managed to grab a fallen trooper's DC-15 blaster and shoot Prouk in the chest. Prouk died quickly of his injuries. (SHPT)

Providence-class Destroyer
this 1,088-meter-long vessel was developed by the Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps during the last decades of the Old Republic, and found priminent use among the naval fleets of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. These ships were propelled through space by four Creveld-4 radial ion drive units, and had a Class 1.5 hyperdrive system that could move the ship across some 40,000 light-years. Like many other Separatist vessels, the Providence-class destroyer was designed to be operated by a droid crew of some 600 droid officers. In its holds, the Providence-class destryoer could carry up to 1.5 million deactivated battle droids, as well as 120 Tri-fighters, 120 vulture droids, 160 MTT transports, and nearly 300 other armored vehicles. In order to defend itself in combat, the Providence-class destroyer was armed with fourteen turret-mounted quad turbolasers, thirty-four dual laser cannons, a pair of ion cannons, twelve point-defense ion cannons, and 102 proton torpedo tubes. (X3)

Provisional Committee
this was the term used to describe the group of politicians and leaders who were selected by the Old Republic to travel to planets which needed assistance in restoring order to their governments. Most often, Provisional Committees were sent in after civil wars or other disputes, to help the various factions work together to rebuild their government. (JQ6)

Provisional Council
after the leaders of the New Republic re-established their governmental seat on Coruscant, some four years after the Battle of Endor, the Provisional Council was established to restore the principles and laws of the Old Republic. It also provided leadership and direction for the New Republic. It was considered a more formal political arena than the Inner Council, which was generally thought of as guiding the Provisional Council. As its name implied, the Provisional Council was set up to assist in repairing the damage caused by Emperor Palpatine's New Order, but was by no means permanent. It was dissolved a short time before the Yevethan Purge, and replaced with a full government designed by the various Senatorial leaders. (HTTE, SOL)

Provocateur
this Imperial frigate was commanded by Captain Joshi, and was part of Zsinj's fleet shortly after the Battle of Endor. It was assigned to provide support for the Night Caller during a raid on Talasea, but was destroyed in the battle. (WS)

Provoker Spineray
this Yuuzhan Vong creature was bio-engineered for use in stimulating the nervous system of another alien creature. These creatures were developed specially for the species on which they would be used, and could be manipulated to cause pain to selective nerve arrays. With the use of a provoker spineray, a Yuuzhan Vong Shaper could map out a being's nervous system and what each set of nerves was designed to do. The use of a provoker spineray was controlled by the Protocol of Tsong, and required that the Shaper use an ol-villip to monitor its actions. (EVC)

Provotin Cystate
this medical drug was developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, and found widespread use during the Clone Wars. (MBS)

Prowler
an Alliance Corvette group destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Prowler
an Alliance escort carrier group destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Prowler 1000
this repulsor-equipped droid was developed by Arakyd Industries for use by the Confederacy of Independent Systems in the exploration and reconnaissance of unknown locations, during the height of the Clone Wars. Known as seeker droids, each of these droids had three photoreceptors, each of which could record information in various wavelengths. Four thin arms were used for a variety of tasks. A large-aperture photoreceptor dominated the "face" of the Prowler, and was surrounded by a sensor and detection array. The Prowler 1000 eventually became the design basis for the Mark VII Inquisitor and the Viper probe droid. (OWS, SWI81, VD3)

Prowler-class Reconnaissance Vessel
one of the new class of starships developed by Republic Engineering Corporation, the Prowler was designed to act as a long-term spy craft. The basic design is that of the REC Ferret, but with less equipment and stealth systems, and its mission profile dictated it be in place for long periods of time, gathering information about an enemy's location and assets. The Prowler does its work from a distance, rather than getting in close, but still retained the baffled drive and chemical-thrust systems of the Ferret. Each prowler-class ship required a complement of 6 crewmen to fly, unlike the droid-commanded Ferret, and was armed with more missiles and a decoy package. (CTD)
