In addition to serving as a secret base, the Kaer Orbital Platform also served as a refueling and repair depot for Separatist forces. (GBC)

Kaernor's Smile
located on the moon of Tilnes, this deep chasm was believed to have been cursed. Several different mining expeditions set out to the chasm, acting on rumors of easily harvested crystals in an effort to obtain quick wealth. None of them ever returned. The most famous of these expeditions was launched by Kaernor Belasstie, for whom the chasm was later named. Later expeditions to the chasm reported that members experienced vivid nightmares and dreams of death, and that the crystals which lined the walls of the chasm actually fed on the energy in the air around them. This was discovered to be the reason that no ship ever returned from the chasm, as the crystals eagerly consumed the power cells used on these ships. Other explorers claim that Kaernor's Smile was filled with the Dark Side of the Force, and the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic agreed that there was something evil about the chasm. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, two hidden bases were discovered by miners near the Smile: one owned by the Caarites, and the other by the Thaereian Military. (LFC, WOTC)

Kaernor's Story
this tale was told in the Cularin System, and described the tale of Kaernor Belasstie. The moral of the story was aimed at miners and explorers, and basically stated that no one should ever set out on their own to an unexplored area, no matter what the perceived value of a site could be. (LFC)

One of the things he managed to acquire was a Sith Holocron, which had been stolen from a New Republic facility on Coruscant. Mara Jade tracked the Holocron to Kaerobani, and recovered it before Kaerobani could figure out how to use it. (MOTS)

Kaesii
this woman was a formed student of the Imperial Academy, although she ended up washing out of the training program and ended up as an administrative assistant on Coruscant, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. This didn't sit well with Kaesii, and she abandoned her post and fled into the criminal underground. In doing so, Kaesii also abanonded her lover, who had been placed in the elite spy training program. She reappeared on Tatooine as a forger and spy, working to undermine the efforts of Jabba the Hutt from her position within the White Thranta shipping operation. During a mission to recover the plans to a prototype military speeder design, Kaesii unknowingly hired her former lover to recover them. His disguise was perfect - he had been given intensive surgery to appear to others as a Twi'lek - and he managed to recover the plans and discover her part in the underworld machinations of Tatooine.

Kaguya
this Tarasin female was among the many prominent individuals who were invited to debate the problems associated with floating cities during the height of the Clone Wars. She brought the Tarasin perspective to the panel, although other panelists chafed at her continual environmentalism. Kaguya, however, was not without her own ideas. Her proposal to the panel was to completely dismantle the floating cities, and move their populations to the existing groundside locations. Kaguya argued that the development of multi-story buildings, that could be used for commerce and residences, would provide a much-needed boost in Cularin's economy, creating jobs and adding more environmentally friendly living situations. Even the foul-minded Mirt had to agree with this plan. (LFCW)

Kai, Jarus
this man served as a Lieutenant Commander within the Alliance, and was second-in-command at Edan Base, when it was attacked by the Empire. In reality, Kai was an Imperial spy inserted into the ranks of the Alliance by Shela Jalahafi, when the Empire first took notice of Edan II. The Commander of Edan Base, Drayson, had placed Kai in control of the base's shield bunker, but Kai used his position to drop the shields when the Havoc attacked the planet. Unknown to the Alliance, Kai was also working as the demolitions expert working for Scruts' group of freedom fighters. This allowed him to infiltrate the rebel underground which opposed Imperial control, and gave him the opportunity to betray them to Jalahafi in Fortuna City. (IAG)

Kai, Tamith
the first of a new group of Nightsisters, Tamith Kai gathered a group of surviving witches in order to continue the work set down in The Book of Shadows. Tamith Kai had served aboard the Shadow Academy, and used her skills to bring the Nightsisters together. After returning to Dathomir, she trained those students Brakiss had discovered to be strongly attuned to the Dark Side of the Force. Tamith Kai later kidnapped Jaina and Jacen Solo, along with Lowbacca, from GemDiver station. Tamith is distinguished by her jet black hair, pale skin, deep violet eyes, and remarkable beauty. She wore jet-black armor which was adorned with functional spikes. She employed Qorl as her personal pilot after joining Brakiss on the Shadow Academy. She struggled against Brakiss' leadership, and was bitter that Zekk defeated her own champion, Vilas. When the Shadow Academy attacked Yavin 4, Tamith Kai led the initial ground assault with Zekk. They split up the Jedi students and tried to kill them separately, but were unable to do so. When Tenel Ka clipped a TIE Fighter with her lightsaber, the craft spun out of control and struck the landing platform on which Tamith Kai stood. She was instantly killed in the resulting explosion. (SA, L, JUS, DSSB)

Kaiberoun
this tall, alien race is easily distinguished by its thin form and long face. While not as long as the face of a Chevin, the Kaiberoun's face is nonetheless just as distinctive. (TFE)

Kaiburr
this unusual crystal was considered by the ancient Jedi Knights to be one of the most powerful stones that could be used as a focusing lens in the construction of a lightsaber. The use of a kaiburr stone was supposed to give a Jedi added insight and fortitude. The best-known example of this mineral was the appropriately-named Kaiburr Crystal, which was pursued for many years by Darth Vader. (KOTOR2)

Kaiburr Crystal
a red gemstone capable of enhancing the user's Force strength, the Kaiburr Crystal increased the holder's perception of the Force, and this effect was magnified with larger portions of the crystal. Luke felt the gem's power with just a shard that was held by Halla. When he gained control of the entire gem, its power was revealed as a healing power. It healed the various mortal injuries Luke sustained in his battle with Darth Vader inside the Temple of Pomojema, as well as providing a link to the spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi, which guided Luke's hand in the battle. Luke later used the power to help heal Leia's wounds. Halla maded the connection between the crystal's power and the rumors of Pomojema's priests performing healing miracles. Upon leaving Circarpous V, Luke gave control of the crystal to Halla, who held onto it. Luke's studies into Jedi lore also revealed that kaiburr crystals were the most powerful stones that could be used in the creation of lightsabers. However, the power of the Crystal was limited, and diminished greatly as it was moved farther from the Temple of Pomojema. (SME, L, ECH, NEGC)

Kail
this planet was located in the Corporate Sector. (HSE, CSA)

Kail Ranges
this was the name of the land that Torm Dadeferron's family owned on their homeworld of Kail. It was one of the most beautiful tracts of land on the planet, and was one of the few areas that were still independently owned. In an effort to gain control of the Kail Ranges for himself, Torm turned in his father and older brother to the Corporate Sector Authority for assumed crimes. The Authority, recognizing Torm's desire to own the Ranges, forced him to become a secret agent if he wanted to own them. After Torm was thrown out of an airlock aboard the Millennium Falcon for killing Rekkon, the Kail Ranges remained in the possession of his father and brother. (CSA, HSE)

When Senator Meena Tills was kidnapped and held hostages, along with several civilians, by a group of Korunnai terrorists led by Nuriin-Ar, Master Kaim was dispatched to negotiate for the release of the hostages. When Nuriin-Ar realized that Kaim was carrying a strip-cam that allowed Omega Squad to get an image of the kidnappers, the Korunnai became exceptionally angry and decided that the time had past for peaceful negotiations. Nuriin-Ar struck Master Kaim across the face, breaking bones and rendering the Twi'lek unconscious. The Korunnai then strapped an explosive to the Twi'lek's chest and pushed him back outside the room in which the hostages were being held. Shortly afterward, the explosives were detonated, killing Master Kaim and injuring the clone commando known as Fi. (SWI81)

In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Kaine found himself in a position to assume command of a large portion of the Empire. A gifted speaker, he was the mastermind behind the formation of the Pentastar Alignment, calling together the leaders of the Velcar Free Commerce Zone and making them see his vision and support it during a series of meetings which became known as the Pentastar Talks. He more or less ignored the call to arms of Grand Admiral Thrawn, waiting until his own forces were ready to attack the New Republic themselves. He formed the Alignment with the intent of gaining the support of corporations, and created a highly-organized force that maintained the ideals of the New Order, although with a slightly modified implmentation. During the runninf of Operation Shadow Hand, Moff Kaine was killed, and the Pentastar Alignment floundered. (TFE, ECH, SWJ3)

Kaini

Kaink
an Ewok priestess living the forests of Endor, Kaink was a source of mystical inspiration for the Ewoks. When Deej and his sons agreed to help Cindel and Mace rescue their parents, they sought out Kaink for guidance. When she discovered that they were carrying the crystal token, she used it to test Mace and Cindel's intentions toward the Ewoks. The crystal turned into a mouse in Cindel's hands, and a lizard in Mace's hands. Finding these revelations valid and truthful, Kaink joined the party to rescue the children's parents from the Gorax. Kaink used the crystal a number of times to influence the wildlife of Endor, aiding the party's passage to the Fortress of the Gorax. (EA, SWDB)

Kaird
this Nediji assassin found work within the Black Sun organization during the last decades of the Old Republic. Early in his life, Kaird was shunned by his people for an inability to join the communal society known as the Flock, and he left Nedij to find his own way. His skills as a tracker and hunter were already exceptional, which made him the perfect candidate to join Black Sun. Kaird moved with a swiftness that few other races could match, and was knowledgeable in a wide variety of fighting styles and poisons. During the height of the Clone Wars, Kaird was dispatched to Drongar to spy on the bota-processing system of Admiral Tarnese Bleyd and Filba the Hutt. Disguised as a member of the Silent, Kaird moved among the various Rimsoo outfits on the planet, keeping a watchful eye on the two conspirators. After Filba tried to coerce Black Sun into paying a higher price for bota, the Hutt was poison by the spy known as Lens. After the death of Mathal, however, Kaird was ordered to step up his investigation and confront Bleyd directly. Kaird knew of Bley'd prowess as a hunter, but he also used the Sakiyan's ego as a weapon. Kaird challenged Bleyd to a knife duel, but never actively engaged him. As Bleyd began to grow confident, Kaird backed off enough to throw his own knife at Bleyd. Using his forearm, Bleyd easily deflected the blade, laughing at Kaird's foolish attempt to attack him. Kaird, however, was ready for the last laugh, having tainted the edge of his knife with dendriton toxin. He spared Bleyd any real pain, however, by slitting his throat before the toxin took effect. When it was revealed that the bota on Drongar was mutating in such a way that it would be useless as a medical wonder-drug, Kaird realized that he had a chance to retire from the underworld life and return to Nedij. He hired Squa Tront and Thula to help him secure some of the last bota ever produced, and planned to return to Coruscant with it as his final delivery. He hoped that this would make his masters very pleased, and allow him to return to Nedij. However, Thula and Squa Tront double-crossed him, and Kaird would have been killed if he hadn't discovered their trap. He set out to return to Black Sun, but vowed to hunt down the two traitors and exact his own revenge on them. (MBS, MJH)

Kairn
this was one of the many Twi'leki clans which were native to the planet Ryloth. In the Twi'leki language, the clan's name meant "dark" or "black". (GCG)

Kairn
this young native of the planet Necropolis greeted Zak Arranda when the boy arrived on Necropolis with his sister Tash and their uncle, Hoole. The two became friends, until Kairn and his buddies dared Zak to enter the huge graveyard and travel to the Crypt of the Ancients in the dead of night. Zak agreed, but was confronted with the undead zombies that lived in the cemetary. Kairn tried to rescue Zak, but was captured and murdered by Evazan. Kairn was buried in a ceremony along with Evazan, but Kairn returned to the city the next day as a member of the reanimated dead. He had been the latest of Doctor Evazan's experiments, and a fairly successful one at that. Kairn's death provided Evazan with a freshly dead body, and proved that his reanimation serum was viable. Evazan himself had been killed by Boba Fett, but had injected himself with his reanimation serum and returned to life. Zak was caught up in Evazan's plans, and Kairn became just another zombie until Evazan tried to kill everyone in order to cover his tracks. When the droid D-V9 discovered a way to reverse the reanimation process, Kairn was ordered by Evazan to stop him. However, Kairn disobeyed Evazan and used the droid's new potion to halt the living dead and make them dead again. However, in the struggle, some of the potion got on Kairn's skin, and he was also killed. (GOF2)

Native to the Wannschok desert, these Nikto had a series of forehead ridges on their brows, with eight horns ringing their eyes and two horns on their chins. The nasal passages of these Nitko were protected by a thin, permeable flap, which kept out the sand and dust of their desert home. (GG12, EGA, GMR6)

Kajidic
this Huttese term described any familial or cultural unit, including the group of retainers and employees of many Hutt crimelords. The term was adopted into the Vodran language as well. There were 48 total kajidics within the Hutt Grand Council during the height of the New Order, but few of these were able to survive the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. After the subjugation of Nal Hutta, many Hutt leaders were forced to relocate to Tatooine, and were forced to ally themselves into a single unit in order to survive. (GG12, RD, HG)

Kajidier
this was the name of a Hutt clan, and was similar in derivation to kajidic. (TPS)

They set out to live off the land, but Kal Mpon was killed when he got too close to one of Cona's predatory plants. The plant issued a colorless, odorless gas, which Kal Mpon inhaled. The gas killed him instantly. (SCRE)

Kal Nkai
an Arcona, who left his Grand Nest with his father, Kal Mpon, after it was raided by another clan. Kal Nkai, alone and without support, was picked up by an Imperial detachment and forced to work in a salt mine. Being an Arcona and raised in a saltless environment, Kal Nkai became addicted to the salt. He knew that his addiction was hindered by his nearness to such a large source, and he sought to escape his slavery. After a successful escape from Imperial slavery, Kal Nkai arrived on Tatooine, at the ripe old age of 16 standard years. He quickly established himself as a moisture farmer, working to extract the water and stay away from salt. Known as "Goldeye" around Mos Eisley, Kal Nkai frequents the cantina quite often, looking for a lick of salt to satisfy his cravings while going through withdrawal. He was in the Mos Eisley cantina when Obi-Wan and Luke approached Han Solo for passage to Alderaan. Note that this alien is referred to as Hem Dazon by many role-playing games sources; the Kal Nkai monicker now rarely used. (SW, SCRE, OWS)

After its hidden location was sold to the spcie merchant Brophys by a Twi'lek named Kroh'dalla, Brophys enslaved Kroh'dalla and forced him to mine ryll. After incredible amounts of ryll were extracted from the city in virtually no time, Kala'din collapsed in upon itself, killing Brophys, Kroh'dalla, and everyone who lived there. Kala'din ceased to exist, and became the subject of a Twi'leki fable whose moral was, "Once a secret is revealed, it spreads until the truth above is destroyed." (PSPG)

Kalai
a mysterious race of aliens that started building onto Zirtran's Anchor during the Galactic Civil War, the Kalai arrived at the station aboard the unusual starship Destiny. They were outwardly shy, and rarely ventured out into the general population of the space station. Many believed that the Kalai were discorporeal beings made from light itself, capable of communicating telepathically, although this was never proven. Others believed that the Kalai were observers, sent to Zirtran's Anchor to monitor the Galactic Civil War and guide it along. (SWJ5)

Kalaide
this was a species of small mollusks native to the waters of Harvest Bay, on the planet Cols. They measure no larger than two centimeters across, including their shelled bodies and flagellum. They have a lifespan of just a few months, but reproduce proficiently in stable environments. The kalaides float along and consume a wide variety of bacteria and small algae, in effect cleaning the waters of the planet and making them inhabitable to other species. However, when climatic or environmental changes affect the waterways, birthrates of kalaides drop dramatically, thereby affecting other populations. The government of Cols has placed severe restrictions on the corporations of the planet, forcing them to minimize their chemical wastes in order to preserve the kalaide populations. (COG)

Kalak
this creature was native to the planet Roon. A nimble beast, the four-legged kalak was also quite fast, and could move about at speeds appraoching sixty kilometers per hour at a dead run. The head of a kalak was dominated by a mouthful of teeth, although these were used primarily to strip leaves from low branches. The Roonans often tamed kalaks for use as mounts, especially for delivering messages. (WOTC, GORW)

Kalakar Six
this desolate moon was covered with active volcanoes and lava flows. Much of its crust was riddled with tunnels created by intense magma floes. Darth Vader was believed to have visited the moon shortly after the plans for the first Death Star were stolen by agents of the Alliance, hoping to intercept the plans and eliminate the rebels. Kalakar Six was rumored to have been a nexus of the Dark Side of the Force, a rumor which drew Baron Yorn and his followers to the moon a century before the Battle of Yavin. When Vader arrived on Kalakar Six, he discovered a group of Dark Side adherents who had become disillusioned with Vader himself, claiming that too much of Anakin Skywalker had remained in him. The information about the Alliance agents was planted by the heretics, to lure Vader to the moon. They created a clone of the Zabrak Sith Lord, Darth Maul, and hoped to have the clone defeat Vader. The adherents then planned to present the clone to Emperor Palpatine, as a testament to their devotion to the Dark Side of the Force. Unfortunately for them, Vader was able to defeat the clone, and Emperor Palpatine himself destroyed the adherents. (T9)

Kalan
this species of tall herbivore was native to the planet Mutanda. Measuring over three meters in height, the fur-covered kalans roamed the plains in large herds in their four legs. These tusked beasts were hunted for food by humans as well as the native Horansi. (PG1)

Kalarba was one of the first ten planets to join the Refugee Resettlement Coalition, shortly before the Clone Wars. Shortly after the Yuuzhan Vong took the planet Fondor, they attacked Kalarba and wrecked Hosk Station in order to eliminate the non-organic technology it contained. The fighting was fierce, as the Pitareeze family and its supporters fought desparately to remain free. However, despite these efforts, Kalarba and its system was utterly destroyed. A small percentage of the population managed to escape before the Yuuzhan Vong render Kalarba a toxic wasteland. (DRO, BP, HNN5, NJOSB)

Kalarba City
the capital city of the planet Kalarba, Kalarba City was the site of the planet's primary spaceport. The city, like the rest of the Kalarba System, was destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong as they made their way Coreward toward Coruscant. (DRO, NJOSB)

this was the name adopted by the human settlers of the planet Kalarba. All but a handful of Kalarbans survived to escape the Yuuzhan Vong attack on their system, which was destroyed as the alien invaders pushed toward Coruscant. (BP, NJOSB)

Kalasaad Woztu
this being served as the Prime Minister of Vorzyd 5, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN5)

Kala'uun
this was one of the many cities located along the terminus line of the planet Ryloth. Generally considered to be the capital of Ryloth, Kala'uun was the planet's commercial center, and boasted the Kala'uun Starport. (PSPG, GORW)

Kala'uun Starport
this Rylothian starport was under the control of the Shak clan at the height of the New Order. Like all Twi'lek settlements, it was located on the terminator line between dark and light sides of the planet, gaining a measure of warmth from its position. However, due to the crosswinds created as the cold air of the dark side mixes with the hot air on the light side, approaches to the starport needed to be handled with care. This danger was further compounded by the fact that Kala'uun was dug into the heights of a huge spire of rock, part of the formation known as the Lonely Five. A Watcher was in place at all times, to ensure that an oncoming heat storm was spotted before it could do any damage to the Starport. Deep in the bowels of th Starport was a huge cistern, that held all the water needed to maintain the facility. (KT, XWBT)

Kalbrac
a Mon Calamari, Kalbrac served his people as a Councilor on the Mon Calamari Council during the height of the Clone Wars. Ostensibly, Kalbrac worked hand-in-hand with Senator Tundra Dowmeia to keep their homeworld free of Separatist influences. When the Quarren Isolation League briefly rose to power and was defeated in combat, Kalbrac openly called for all inhabitants of the planet - Mon Calamari and Quarren alike - to work toward ridding the government of corruption. Years later, Kalbrac was one of the Mon Cal who tried to welcome the Empire to his planet. When the Empire began trying to suppress the natives, Kalbrac tried to fix things himself. He found that the effort was nearly futile, and turned to the Alliance for help. (DU, SWI73)

Kaldani Spires Residential Apartments

Kalduu
this is one of two sentient races native to the planet Ropagi II, although their external appearance would bely that. The Kalduu are large, hemispherical creatures which float above the ground. Four tentacles dangle below their transparent bodies, serving as a means for eating and breathing. They travel in groups of three or less, consuming viruses and germs from the air. The average Kalduu can live to be 500 standard years in age, and they reproduce via fission. The Kalduu have no vocal chords, and have learned to communicate via telepathy. Two or more Kalduu and form a group mind if they are in close proximity. Several millenia before the Galactic Civil War, the Kalduu realized that the warring factions of the Ropagu were eventully going to destroty their planet. The Kalduu intervened in the struggles, making contact and winning the trust of the various Ropagu nations. Since then, the Kalduu have bonded with the minds of the various Ropagu leaders, filling their minds with peaceful thoughts while forming a form of symbiotic relationship. After many centuries of this existence, the Kalduu stopped influencing the minds of the Ropagu, using telepathy only to avoid warfare. Current generations of Kalduu often regret that their ancestors used this form of mind control on the Roapgu, but they also realize the potential danger that was averted. (TSK)

Kale, Anton
this man was a Captain in the Imperial armed forces, and was deployed to Kuat during the height of the Galactic Civil War. During the last years of the Old Republic, Kale was one of many individuals who saw the corruption in the Galactic Senate and fervently believed that the New Order would re-establish the morality of the galaxy. He also believed that force was often necessary to achieve peace and justice, and was not above using excessive force to attain the goals of the Empire. Unlike many of this peers, Kale also believed in the existence of the Force, and considered any being who could use it an individual to be feared and respected. His belief in the Force, along with other ideas and startegies uncommon to most Imperial officers, made Kale an unconventional adversary for the Alliance. (CCW)

Kaleb
this was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Kaled

Kalee
this was another name for the Kaleesh race. (SWGG)

Kalee
this planet was the homeworld of the Kaleesh race. It was a remote world which had limited natural resources, which forced the Kaleesh to import much of what they needed to survive. (LEV)

Kaleesh
this alien race was native to the planet Kalee. For many generations, the Kaleesh were at odds with their planetary neighbors, the Huks. Much of the conflict remained within their systems, which were remote enough to avoid the notice of the Old Republic. The Kaleesh fought bravely against the Huks, until the conflict reached its head several years before the onset of the Clone Wars. In the full-scale war that broke out, the Kaleesh launched massive attacks against the Huks, hoping once and for all to win their freedom. With leaders such as General Grievous, the Kaleesh were nearing a victory when the Huks appealed to the Old Republic to mediate the "dispute." The Huks claimed that the Kaleesh were trying to eliminate them in order to take control of the resource-rich Huk worlds, and the Kaleesh were powerless to defend themselves. A group of fifty Jedi Knights was sent to Kaleesh to negotiate a truce, and they ultimately ruled in favor of the Huks. The Kaleesh were sent back to Kalee and punished by the Republic for their aggression. Without support from the Republic, the Kaleesh society went into a severe recession, and hundreds of thousands of Kaleesh died from starvation and disease in the aftermath before the InterGalactic Banking Clan arrived on Kalee and offered the Kaleesh funding and trade concessions in exchange for General Grievous. Grievous, having suffered a career-ending injury, agreed to leave with the IBC in order to save his people. (LEV)

Kalena
this young woman was a member of the Indupar royal house. She was taken prisoner when the Free Lance ambushed her own ship, the Indupar Nova, near Ec Pand. It was revealed that she was posing as her maid, Missa, as the two had switched positions when the pirates attacked. Urias Xhaxin took both women hostage in order to ransom them off later on. (PP)
