Madam Rhoden
this green-skinned, female alien was the wife of Clode Rhoden. However, she wasn't satisfied by her husband, and plotted with the alien Buck to eliminate Clode and claim his immense inheritance. She was aware of Buck's ties to the environmental terrorist group, the Green Forge, but was unaware of the fact that Buck often skipped out on his female companions as soon as he stole their fortunes. She was also unaware of her husband's knowledge of her affair with Buck. When Madam Rhoden and Buck were targetted for execution by Clode Rhoden, who planned to use Buck's core bomb to kill them both, Saul Moegantz offered to join forces with them to strike back at Clode. Madam Rhoden reluctantly agreed, seeing that a partnership with Moegantz was the lesser of several evils, including her own death. They planned to sue Clode for divorce, on the grounds that he tried to have her killed, then take all of Clode's wealth and split it between them. (TAE)

Madame Atuarre's Roving Performers
this was the assumed name used by Han Solo, Atuarre, Pakka, and Bollux as they pretend to be entertainers from the Imperial Entertainment Guild, in order to try to gain access to the Stars' End prison facility, several years before the Battle of Yavin. Viceprex Hirken had requested a new set of entertainers, but the original troupe had to delay. Han managed to intercept the message from Hokkor Long that apologized for the delay, and created Madame Atuarre's Roving Performers as the replacement act. Playing on their individual strengths, Atuarre played a dancer, Pakka played an acrobat, and Han was the Master Marksman. Bollux was along for the ride, since Hirken's request specifically asked for a droid. When they arrived, however, they discovered that Hirken had been expecting a gladitor droid. Hirken became suspicious when Bollux didn't appear when the fighting began, and realized that he had been duped when the droid was unable to even bring a weapon to bear. (HSE)

Madine
this was one of the most common surnames found among the human population of Corellia. (GMR9)

Madine, Crix
a Corellian General with the Alliance, his strict military background was formed during years of service to the Imperial Academy and the Empire. He took pride in the fact that, regardless of other Imperial squadrons' tactics, his team never took unneessary liberties during a a battle. However, when he began to see that his personal tactics were never going to be accepted, he tried to accept the Empire's ways himself. When this failed, he decided that it was time to seek out the Alliance. Using information on the Darktrooper project of Rom Mohc, Madine made his first contact with the Alliance. After his Storm Commandos were ordered to release the Candorian Plague on Dentaal, any vestige of support for the Empire left Madine completey. He erased all Imperial records of himself and sought out the Alliance. Mohc tracked him down and imprisoned him at Orinackra, but Kyle Katarn managed to rescue him. He made contact with his old friend, Carlist Rieekan, who put in some good words for him. When the Alliance accepted Madine, his Imperial training made him the logical choice to plan the assault on the second Death Star. There are rumors that the true reasons behind his defection deal with the receipt of a set of highly-criminal orders from Emperor Palpatine himself. They so assaulted his sensibilities that he lef the Empire. After Endor, he turned down a seat in the New Republic's Inner Council, preferring to remain with the Republic's growing military. He became the Republic's commander of Special Forces, drawing together a crack team of commandos who were prepared to enter any situation for the sake of the Republic. Not many of his accomplishments are known, due to their often secret nature. The one mission that was lauded by the New Republic, unfortunately, was also his last. He had taken a small team to infiltrate the Hoth asteroid field and determine the status of Durga the Hutt's Death Star revision, the Darksaber. A series of mishaps left Madine alone; Korenn had died entering the asteroid field, and Trandia died giving Madine a hope for escape. Madine chose not to escape, and was captured by Durga's alien guards. Durga, pleased with himself for hatching the Darksaber plot and capturing Madine, executed Madine with a blaster bolt through the heart. (ROTJ, DFR, DESB, DS, NEGC)

Madurrin
this Anx was trained by Luke Skywalker in the Jedi arts, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She later volunteered to help with the war effort, but her four-meter-tall frame was unsuitable for starfighter combat. Instead, Madurrin served aboard the Mon Adapyne, as the official Jedi Knight liaison. Madurrin's role on the Mon Adapyne was to participate in the Jedi Force-meld developed by Jacen and Jaina Solo, helping to coordinate the activities of naval vessels in their struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong. Madurrin was ultimately one of the handful of Jedi Knights to survive the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, and he chose to remain as a Jedi advisor to Supreme Commander Traest Kre'fey and the Galactic Alliance military. (DW, UF)

Madware
this was the term used to describe the terrorist programming developed by the Separatists during the Clone Wars. Madware was created to override the normal programming of a droid, causing it to do all manner of deadly and destructive things. Separatist agents used microwave technology to insert madware into a large number of the droids that supported the Old Republic, causing the loss of life and property on many planets. (YDR)

Maedano
this barren ball of rock was the second planet of the Metellos System. It was orbited by a single moon. (CCW)

Maelibi
this alien race, native to the planet Iego, was known as demons by those beings who had visited the planet. They were less well-known than the Diathim, primarily because the Maelibi lived belowground and rarely left the planet itself. They were said to resemble the Diathim, although they lacked the wings of the other race, and were generally considered even more beautiful. The humanoid bodies of the Maelibi seemed to be formed from molten gold, and their lyrical voices were said to be the embodiment of music itself. However, they earned the nickname Demons because of their feeding habits. The Maelibi preyed on those beings who had been stranded on Iego, dragging them screaming beneath the surface of the planet. A single individual was referred to as a Maelibus. (WOTC, GORW)

Maelibus
this was the name of a single member of the Maelibi race. (GORW)

Maelstrom
this was the name of the warship assigned to Jedi Master Darrus Jeht, during the height of the Clone Wars. Master Jeht and his small fleet were dispatched to liberate the world of Kromus, only to discover that their arrival was already anticipated by the droid armada encircling the planet. (LFCW)

Maelstrom
this unusual area of space, located near the Relgim Sector, was dominated by a huge, nebula-like cloud of charged space dust and raw energy. This combination of attributes scrambled most starship sensor systems, hindered their communications, and confused hyperdrives and navigational computers. Thus, most ships were forced to revert from hyperspace to realspace in order to traverse the Maelstrom. This led to a rise in piracy near the Maelstrom, since the ships coming out of hyperspace had very little warning of what lay near the cloud, and they could not send a distress signal to ask for assistance. (RM)

Maeltorp
this small corporation produced a variety of repulsor-equipped cargo vehicles during the New Order. (SWJ4)

Maendin, Lar
this native of Vastrip IV was a scout who served the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. He personally located several planets that were later used as bases and safeworlds. However, following the Battle of Endor, Maendin defected from the Alliance and began working as an independent operative. He was known to have sold the locations of Alliance and New Republic bases to the Empire, and all of them have had to be evacuated before Imperial forces destroyed them. He also has been known to scout out remote planets for use by the remnants of the Empire. (WBC)

Maetrecis, N'do
this man served as a Major in the Grand Army of the Republic, and was stationed on Drongar during the height of the Clone Wars. Major Maetrecis was injured in battle, and seemed to contract one of the many unknown diseases that lurked in the swamps of Drongar. His recovery was slow, since the doctors at Rimsoo Seven were unable to ascertain the cause of his problems. In a bold - and highly illegal - action, Doctor Zan Yant began secretly administering doses of processed bota into Maetrecis's system. The results were spectacular, as Maetrecis began recovering almost immediately. Doctor Yant was discovered by his good friend, Jos Vondar, who both understood and decried Yant's actions. (MBS)

Maeve
this was a common name among the Zeltron people. (UANT)

Mag
this was a common name given to Zabrak males. Like many Zabrak names, it related to survival characteristics, and meant "strong" or "mighty". (GCG)

Mag Doum
this humanoid was a native of the planet Arda-2. He was responsible for the Empire receiving huge numbers of T-6 diodems during the Galactic Civil War. When the Empire learned that Arda-2 was supplying the diodems to the Alliance, they enlisted the aid of Doum in obtaining some for their own use. Doum refurbished diodems from home-service devices and sold them to the Empire at a ten-times markup. He was ousted from the government when his treacherous acts were discovered by Luke Skywalker. (CSWEA)

Mag Pulse Weapon
a weapon developed by Galactic Electronics for use by the Alliance on modified B-Wing fighters. Weapons of this kind don't cause immediate damage, but instead knock out starship systems for an extended period. (TIE, XWA)

Mag-6 Injector
this fuel injector was used on pod racers. (RAC)

Maga
this Dantari was the garoo of the tribe which befriended Hoole and the Arranda children, during their flight from the Empire. He held no compassion for them, however, after the Dantari began to notice Tash's small command of the Force and Hoole's ability to change his appearance. Maga eventually reconciled their differences, recognizing that they were no threat to his authority. This was all in an effort to gain their confidence and lure them to the Jedi ruins near the Dantari camp. He urged Tash to enter the ruins, hoping she would disappear and he could regain his tribe's confidence. However, a false clone of Tash attacked the camp while Maga was away, and he was forced to reveal his deception to the real Tash. Maga then went to find his people while Tash searched for her uncle and brother. (GOF11)

Magagran
this planet was held by the Empire during the last years of the New Order. Major Tierce was stationed on Magagran during the Battle of Endor, and thus survived the death of Palpatine. When Tierce learned of the Emperor's death, he jumped ship to return to Coruscant and assess the damage. (SOP)

Magalak
this female Selonian was the champion of the Kurtuln den, which lived beneath Kystes' Spine on the planet Talus, during the height of the New Order. Despite her status as champion, Magalak was considered odd because of her desire to isolate herself from the rest of her den. Magalak was much happier when she was with her band of warriors, hunting along the Spine for intruders. (CCW)

Magaloof
this Leffingite was a small-time thief who was active on the planet Coruscant during the last decades of the Old Republic. When Obi-Wan Kenobi caught Zam Wesell's modified droid ASN-121, he was dragged through the skies of Coruscant and nearly collided with Magaloof, who was joyriding in a stolen airspeeder. He later turned the speeder over to Hat Lo, hoping to impress the crimelord. Hat Lo decided to hire Magaloof, and paired him with Achk Med-Beq as one of his groups of thieves. During an attempt to steal flame gems from a CoCo Town jewelry store, Magaloof was captured by Lieutenant Dannl Faytonni, who forced Magaloof to turn over the gemstones before letting him go free. When Magaloof tried to explain what happened to Med-Beq, he found that his partner had disappeared. Magaloof was eventually captured by actual Republic Security officers, and was imprisoned for three years in the CoCo Penitentiary's moderate security ward. He realized that he had been duped, and Magaloof decided that crime didn't pay. Upon his release, he retired to his homeworld of Almak. (IWE2, SWDB)

Maganinny, Makx
this man served the Grand Army of the Republic as a Sergeant, during the height of the Clone Wars. When General Khamar was dispatched to defend the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn, Maganinny was placed in command of the reconnaissance scouts assigned to gather intelligence on the Separatist forces there. Unfortunately for the Republic, they underestimated the strength of the Separatist force dispatched to Praesitlyn, and they found themselved badly outnumbered. During the initial wave of attacks, it was believed that Sergenat Maganinny was overrun and killed. He was rescued by one of his own scouts, Odie Subu, who managed to drag him to a safe location. (JT)

Magar Jaros

Magg
Magg was born in the Corporate Sector, and grew up learning how to straddle the fence on every issue. This allowed Magg to watch for potential gains before making a jump to one side or the other. He was a short man with black hair, and had a number of talents which made him useful to both Fiolla and the Corporate Sector Authority, including locksmithing and weapons training. Growing up surrounded by the corruption of the Corporate Sector Authority, Magg believed that cutting corners and taking bribes was business as usual. When he was hired as a duty agent by the Authority, he performed his work indutiful fashion, all the while looking for ways to make a quicker credit. His associates labelled him as shady, and the description wasn't far from wrong. Magg began living a double life within his Authority career, ostensibly serving as Fiolla's assistant during the time when she was trying to expose a slavery ring in the Corporate Sector. This was how he met up with Zlarb, after apprehending him in a sting. Magg offered Zlabr freedom for a cut of the action, and the second of his two lives was born. Magg used his Authority contacts to provide information to Zlarb. On Lur, Magg was one of the few slavers to escape when Han Solo refused to accept a shipment of Lurian slavers, and Zlarb was killed by the slaves. To ensure that he was still seen as a CSA operative, Magg tipped Fiolla off to Zlarb's arrival at Bonadan, even though Zlarb was dead. Magg had planned to eliminate Fiolla and Han Solo together by luring them on a swoop chase, but Han's skills as a swoop racer allowed him to reach freedom. He was identified by Han Solo, much to Fiolla's dismay. Although his ship was shot down over Ammuud, Magg escaped again. However, the slavery ring was eventually smashed by Fiolla, Solo, and Odumin. Investigations revealed that Magg was probably working as the slaver's accountant and security manager. (HSR, CSA)

Maggie
this woman served the Alliance as a starfighter pilot and military officer, during the months following the Battle of Endor. A former Imperial pilot who defected to the Alliance, she was part of the fleet which traveled to Godo, in order to investigate the strange plague that was affecting the Godoan people. (MC99, MC107)

Maggli, Dairn
this man was a small-time smuggler and gunrunner during the years following the Battle of Naboo. A bounty was posted by the Republic Security Force for his arrest in connection with the hijacking of a Republic transport which had been carrying weapons to Sullust. He was captured on Coruscant by Jango Fett, who was on the planet searching for Jervis Gloom. (BH)

Maggot's Cantina
this offworlders cantina was located in the Anzat Spaceport, on the planet Anzat, during the last years of the Old Republic. (RT)

Maggy the Gorgon's Tavern
located in a section of Mos Espa not controlled by the Hutts, Shmi Skywalker asked her young son Anakin to get his ruby bliels from this tavern, rather than from the Blue Brubb. They also befriended an old spacer who frequented the bar, and who told them stories of the other planets of the galaxy, as well as stories of the Jedi Knights. (ANA)

Maghook
this small, but extremely powerful cylindrical electromagnet can be fused to the end of a cable and used as a grappling hook. The magnet is activated by the sudden jarring of the magnet itself, and can be deactivated with by twisting a small dial on the magnet. (TA)

Magic Dragon
it was believed that this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was once the flagship of Grand Admiral Miltin Takel, although no record of its existence was ever found. (OWS)

Magicot
an edible vegetable. (TME)

Magister
this was the title given to the leader of the Ferroan colonists who settled the planet Zonama Sekot. It was the Magister's job to ensure the safety and relative anonymity of the planet above all other things, standing between Sekot and Zonama to ensure balance. Before Sekot took the planet into hyperspace, there had been two Magisters. The first Magister was a Jedi Knight who accompanied the settlers to Zonama Sekot. The Jedi, a small, wiry man, had followed the religion of the Potentium, and had been driven out of the Order for his beliefs. He developed an intense relationship with Sekot, and established the practices of creating wondrous technologies with the help of Sekot. Unfortunately, this collaboration with the planet gave Zonama Sekot the idea that it was a unique individual, rather than the collection of all living things in its environment, which confused the planet and shrouded its view of its existence with uncertainty. The next Magister was a hologram of the original, developed to ensure some form of continuity in the leadership with Sekot. However, the planet had already assumed the identity of the dead Magister, and began to act for itself. The ruse was discovered by Anakin Skywalker and Jabitha, who found the original Magister's body buried in the rubble under Far Distance's mountain location during their flight from Ke Daiv. The illusion was furthered by the addition of holographic representations of the Magister's children. The exact name of the original Magister was considered sacred, and the Zonamans were forbidden to speak it aloud. Obi-Wan Kenobi later learned that the Magister was Leor Hal. After the death of the second Magister, Jabitha herself was selected to serve Sekot. (RP, DW, FH3)

Magistrate Council
made up of businessmen and merchants, this was the primary governmental body of the town of Corestrike. Ostensibly, the Council also acted on the behalf of the entire planet of Chrona. (SWJ12)

Maglev Bullet Car
a swift form of transportation, the bullet car was a segmented train - sometimes called a mag-lev train - which ran in tunnels. It rode on rails through which a current was passed. The resulting magnetic field pushed against an opposing field generated by the train itself, propelling it along the track at incredible speeds. (SE, MBS)

Mag-lev Train
this was a form of railway transportation that used magnetic energy to propel the train, rather than nuclear or fossil fuels. When a current was passed through the rails, a magnetic field was created that pushe against an opposing field generated by the train itself, propelling it along the track at incredible speeds. A specialized version of this vehicle, known as a maglev bullet car, ran along a track that was located within a tunnel. (MBS)

Magl'Ikkan Temple
this ancient fortress was built within the Undrarian territory on the planet Baralou. It was located at the base of a huge, underwater mountain, and was carved from the coral reef which grew around it. The Krikthasi revered the temple as a sacred place, and rarely allowed other species to even get near it. (PG1)

Magma Missile
this Yuuzhan Vong weapon was literally a glob of molten metal which could be fired at a target. The magma missile was most often used aboard starfighters and larger warships. (SBS)

Magma Mite
see Mustafar Lava Flea (SWDB)

Magma Pebble
this form of Yuuzhan Vong weapon was a small, thumbnail-sized glob of plasma that was contained in a hard shell. When agitated and throw, the magma pebble heated up and shed its shell, splattering the target with plasma. These small projectiles were often used against battle droids, since the armor plating of the droids melted quickly under the plasma's burst of energy. (NJOSB)

Magma Spitter
this Yuuzhan Vong weapon was used to defend stationary locations. Similar in most respects to a magma missile launching system, a magma spitter ejected small spheres of molten rock at a target. (SBS)

Magma Trooper
this was the term used to describe those specially-trained and outfitted Imperial stormtroopers who worked on volcanically-active planets throughout the galaxy. (VD)

Magminds
a Human League trooper stationed at Corona House following the secession of Corellia from the New Republic. (AS)

Magna Bolas
developed on Velusia, this weapon consisted of three magnetic balls attached by a thin metal cord. When thrown, the magna bolas whipped through the air toward their target, creating a distinct sound. When the target was struck, the balls continued to whip around, wrapping the metallic cord around the target and incapacitating them. (CCW)

Magna Caster-100
this unusual weapon was produced by Frohad Galactic Firearms, and was essentially a dart-shooting rail gun which used magnetic resistance to launch the projectile at its target. This made the weapon extremely quiet to use, but they were produced in such small numbers that they are extremely rare on both the open and black markets. (ROE)

Magnaband Scope
this form of starship scanner was used to detect the size and shape of an approaching ship. (MC50)

Magnacuffs
this was a generic term used to describe any form of handcuffs or binders which used magnetic energy to maintain a lock. (GG10)

MagnaForce
developed and produced by Simcronics, this wrist-mounted personal shield provided a small measure of protection against an attack. It was quite expensive, and only provided about two minutes' worth of protection before the power cells drained. (GFT)

MagnaGuard Manufacturing
this small combat automata manufacturer was contracted by General Grievous to build the IG-100 series of droids. MagnaGuard also produced much of the weaponry used by the IG-100 series. This name was given on the LucasArts Entertainment Company's website for Star Wars - Republic Commando, although most other sources indicate that the IG-100 MagnaGuards were produced by Holowan Mechanicals. (LAWS, VD3)

Magnaharness
similar to magnacuffs, a magnaharness is a restraint system which uses magnetic forces to control a being's body. Depending on the configuration, the harness can restrain arms, legs, hands, feet, or head. (GG10)

Magna-hoist
this is a huge, durasteel-jawed mechanism used in starship construction facilities to grasp and manipulate large, heavy pieces of ships. (HM)

Magnalock Grapplers
these small, hand-held devices use a strong magnetic field to grip heavy objects. (SWJ9)

Magna-shuffle
a casino game of chance. (RM)

Magnatomic Boots
these specialized boots were developed during the last decades of the Old Republic. The soles of these boots were made from a unique alloy that provided magnetic gripping power at the atomic level, providing excellent stability on all metal surfaces. (BF6)

Magnatomic Grip Panel
see Gription Panel (NEGW)

Magnatorch
this form of handheld light generated power with magnets, creating a nearly inexhaustible supply of light. (COG)

Magnepulse Ordnance
this form of bombardment weapon was developed by the Empire shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Also known as magnetic bombard, the magnepulse ordnance is detonated above a city or other target, and has two forms which deliver a great magnetic pulse that shorts out communications, droids, and other hi-tech equipment. The pulse can be delivered by a cannon blast or a cluster bomb, although the cluster bomb could be shot down prior to detonation. (ISB)

Magneta
this native of the planet Naboo served as the Captain of the Guard and the Royal Security Force under King Veruna. A stern, hawk-like woman, she refused to arrest Sate Pestage on charges of murder and cospiracy after then-Lieutenant Panaka discovered a hidden bae dug into the surface of Naboo. The underground lair was filled with the bodies of Gungans and humans alike, who seemed to have been part of the pro-Naboo terrorist group led by the man known as Veermok. Magneta refused to believed Panaka's report, claiming that the bodies had been regurgitated by a dying sando aqua monster that had washed up nearby. Captain Magneta later resigned after Veruna's corruption was exposed, and the King mysteriously was killed. Magneta promoted Panaka as her replacement. (IG1, GMR2)

Magneta-Mine
this magnetic-fastening explosive device was developed by Greff-Timms Industrial some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. (TOJC)

Magnetic Bottle
this was the term used to describe the strange, repulsorlift-like technology created by the Geonosians. It involved concentrating magnetic fields in a small area - the "bottle" - and using them in opposition to each other to keep items away from each other. (SWI64)

Magnetic Containment Field
this device is used to protect landing pads and starports which operate in the vacuum of space. The magcon field, as it is often referred to, creates a field of magnetic energy that is semi-permiable. Atmosphere in the landing area is contained within the field, so that it doesn't escape out into the vacuum of space. However, it is incapable of maintaining the heat of the landing area, which seeps through the containment field and into space. Slow-moving starships can pass through it without breaking the field's integrity. (WS, SOC)

Magnetic Pulse Beam
similar to a tractor beam, a magnetic pulse beam was used by large starships to draw a smaller ship in closer. While this technology was originally designed to assist space tugs moving larger ships around orbital shipyards, it was also used to rescueor salvage a smaller ship adrift in space. (MC15)

Magnetogravitic Shield
this was the most basic of all starship protection systems. It kept a ship from burning up while travelling at near-lightspeed in the hyperthin atmosphere of open space, by deflecting the minute particles of matter away from the ship, before they could hit it. (LCS)

Magnetoran Sweep
this wide-beam device was used to disrupt targetting computers. (CSWEA)

Magnigrapple Pole
this form of structural support was used on planets which were to be terraformed, or were covered with shallow seas or swamps. Magnigrapple poles attach to a building or other structure, and keep it in place through magnetic force. The supporting magnets are anchored in the ground, allowing the structure to stay in one location despite the shifting conditions of the ground. (POC)

Magnispecs
these speciallized goggles were developed to use in repairing intricate computer systems. Magnispecs magnified the field of vision, allowing a being to see the smallest of circuitry in greater detail. (DN1)
