Boffin
this was one of the codewords used by Niner and Omega Squad to indicate one of their primary assault targets, during the mission to capture Ovolot Qail Uthan on Qiilura, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. Code Boffin was given to the crew of the Majestic, along with the coordinates of one of Ghez Hokan's primary bases. (RCHC)

Bog Beast
the swimming creature that tries to ingest R2-D2 on Dagobah. (ESB)

Bog Flower
this brightly-colored species of flowering plant was native to the marshes of Woteba. (DN2)

Boga
this female varactyl was a mount used on their planet Utapau. Obi-Wan Kenobi was allowed to ride Boga during his search for General Grievous, during the final days of the Clone Wars. The Jedi felt through the Force that Boga was one of the most loyal and obedient of her kind, and her strength and speed were welcome assets. Note that there are two accounts of Boga's death on Utapau. The first, from the Star Wars: Episode III Illustrated Screenplay, indicates that after chasing Grievous on his wheel-bike, Boga was unable to maintain her grip when they careened head-long through the sinkhole of Pau City. The second, from the novelization of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, indicates that Boga was killed later, when Commander Cody and his clone troopers received Order Sixty-Six from Chancellor Palpatine and opened fire on the dragonmount and General Kenobi. Although Kenobi managed to survive, Boga was forced off a cliff during the pursuit and fell to her death. (SWI81, IS3, VD3, E3N)

Boga Minawk
this anti-gravity sport became very popular at the Dona Laza tapcafe about fifteen years after the Battle of Endor. (SOP)

Bogan, Biggs
this man served the Old Republic as a shuttle pilot during the height of the Clone Wars. He was stationed on MedStar Nineteen as the Admiral's pilot, during the Battle of Drongar, and served both Tarnese Bleyd and Erel Kersos in his duties. He was involved with the Twi'lek Ord Vorra at this time, and it was her information that provided Kadir with a way to steal Bogan's shuttle. Both Bogan and Ord Vorra were Adepts at the game of Strag, and their love of the game brought them together. Bogan, because of his position as Kersos' shuttle pilot, had access codes to the Admiral's ships. Kaird managed to steal one of these ships for his escape from Drongar, after luring them to a viewing of the Strag Sector Match Championship on Galactic Sports Update and drugging their wine with myocaine. This left Bogan unable to pilot his shuttle, and Kaird gladly took his place. (MJH)

Bogan's Brown Nafen
this species of winged rodents was known in the popular media as butterbats. They were found on a number of tropical planets, where they consumed huge amounts of insects and small creatures. However, they were also carriers of a variety of diseases, making them a nuisance to be eliminated on many worlds. (COG)

Bogden
this temperate, swamp-covered planet was orbited by no less than eighteen moons and natural satellites, ranging in size from large boulders to near-planets. Because of the passage of these moons in close proximity to the planer, Bogden's surface was literally pulled apart by the gravitational "tides." Several times a day, the land moved and swayed as moons passed "over" and "under" the planet, and the beings who called Bogden home had to learn to walk and maintain their balance as the ground shifted underneath them. Most of the moons of Bogden were inhabited by smugglers, bounty hunters, and other criminal elements. During the early years of the New Order, Bogden was the site of a secondary pirate base maintained by Gir Kybo Ren-Cha. It was there that the pirate held Gerin, daughter of Lord Toda of Tammuz-an, in an effort to take control of the planet. Note that A Guide to the Star Wars Universe, Second Edition, claims that this world was a moon named Bodgen. (BF1, SWI80)

Bogeega Bu'Daay
this being was one of the many spies and informants who worked for Boorka the Hutt during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was Bogeega who first discovered information on the Decimator, and relayed the information to Boorka as soon as he could. However, before he could learn more, Bogeega was discovered. In his final transmission, the roar of a Wookiee could be heard before Bogeega's voice is cut off. (GBC)

Bogen, Ab'El
this New Republic Senator served on the Defense Council during the Yevethan Purge. (SOL, HT)

Bogey
an amorphous creature that lived in the Kessel spice mines, the bogey resembled a bouncing ball of light. For many years, the existence of the bogey was strongly debated as a figment of the feeble minds of the beings imprisoned on Kessel. Rumors of similar creatures surfaced on many worlds, but Kessel was the first to actually report it. Bogeys seemed to be made of pure energy, and fed on the glitterstim spice which was found in Kessel's crust and mantle. Their bouncing, bobbing movement resulted from the bogey's consumption of spice, moving from veins to vein and absorbing it directly into its body. They were oblivious to the beings that worked in the mines, but any contact with the bogey resulted in an electrical discharge that could accidentally harm the being. (JS, WOTC)

Bogg 1
this was the innermost moon of the planet Bogden. (BF1)

Bogg 10
this was the tenth moon of the planet Bogden. (BF1)

Bogg 11
this was the eleventh moon of the planet Bogden. Bogg 11 was one of the moons of Bogden that had an atmosphere, and often passed close enough to Bogg 4 that the two moons shared their atmospheres. (BF1)

Bogg 2
this rocky clod of dirt was the second moon of the planet Bogden. Like many other of Bogden's moons, Bogg 2 maintained an atmosphere. Once each orbit, Bogg 2 passed close enough to Bogg 9 to share atmospheres. During the last years of the Old Republic, counterfeiters created fake Republic Credits on Bogg 2, then shipped them via low-altitude balloons to Bogg 9. A group of co-conspirators would then steal some of the balloons as they moved between the moons, and then a claim would be made against the "stolen" credits. In this way, the criminals were able to "legitimize" the counterfeit credits while obtaining actual credits at the same time. (BF1)

Bogg 3
this was the third moon of the planet Bogden. (BF1)

Bogg 4
this was the fourth moon of the planet Bogden. It was covered with rocky terrain, but had an atmosphere which could accommodate many humanoid species. Bogg 4 was large enough to suffer the same seismic disturbances encountered on Bogden itself, only the effects were much more pronounced on Bogg 4. Buildings and structures had to be built to accommodate the shifting landscape during periods of gravitational "tides", and the beings who lived on the moon were forced to adapt their walking style to match the moving surface. (BF1)

Bogg 5
this was the fifth moon of the planet Bogden. (BF1)

Bogg 6
this was the sixth moon of the planet Bogden. (BF1)

Bogg 7
this was the seventh moon of the planet Bogden. (BF1)

Bogg 8
this was the eighth moon of the planet Bogden. (BF1)

Bogg 9
this was the ninth moon of the planet Bogden. It had a thin atmosphere, and traveled close enough to Bogg 2 that the two moons shared an atmosphere for several hours each orbit. During the last years of the Old Republic, counterfeiters created fake Republic Credits on Bogg 2, then shipped them via low-altitude balloons to Bogg 9. A group of co-conspirators would then steal some of the balloons as they moved between the moons, and then a claim would be made against the "stolen" credits. In this way, the criminals were able to "legitimize" the counterfeit credits while obtaining actual credits at the same time. (BF1)

Bogg Tyrell
this Aleen, who lived on Coruscant during the years following in the Battle of Naboo, was a cabdriver who frequently patronized Dex's Diner. Note that Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones indicates that Bogg Tyrell was a female Aleen Senator who represented her people in the Galactic Senate. She was in the company of Seboca, partaking of Galactic City's nightlife, when Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi tried to apprehend Zam Wesell. (SWDB, SWI66, IWE2)

Bogga
the Hutt crimelord who ruled the underworld of the Stenness System during the time before the Great Sith War. He was nicknamed 'The Merciful One' because of his tendency to give those who crossed him another chance to return to his favor. The options he usually provided were death or a very dangerous task; most Hutts would simply kill the offender. He became a sort of protector to the 'Nessie mining colonies, protecting them from pirates...for a price. He was not, however, very happy with the fact that Jedi Master Thon was living on Ambria, since Bogga had a fascination with the Dark Side of the Force. He ordered the death of Andur Sunrider, in an attempt to steal his Adegan crystals. He later attacked Thon's base, hoping to recover the gemstones, but was driven back by Nomi Sunrider. (TOJ)

Boggs, Wenny
a human who got lost in Tatooine's Jundland Wastes while hunting Womp Rats. His story says that he heard a strange, alluring song from the desert, and when he found its source, it was a Tusken Raider singing in a sad, lilting voice. Although the Raider had removed his facial wrappings in order to sing, Wenny couldn't see his face. Further investigation revealed that the Raider was singing the plaintive song for a dead companion, something never before documented. (SWSB)

Bog-hopper
this was a form of repulsorlift vehicle, similar to a landspeeder, used on the planet Seikosha. The craft had a bullet-shaped passenger area, supported by two winglike hydrofoils. The craft could transport up to seven beings, including the driver, and a little cargo. (POC)

Bogreen
this Snivvian word represented the number 4. (HNN5)

Bogrn
this was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)

Bog'Ruhx
this Dug was the leader of the Ruhx family crime ring on his homeworld of Malastare, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He worked diligently to eliminate his competition, and went so far as to issue bounties for the capture or killing of rival family members. This earned him the wrath of Bazurkah, who in turn issued a bounty for Bog'Ruhx's capture. Both Dugs were captured by Jango Fett shortly after the Battle of Naboo, when the bounty hunter was on Malastare to infiltrate Sebolto's operations. (BH)

Bogwing
this flying predator is native to the swampy jungles of Dagobah. Measuring 1-5 meters from nose to tail, the bog-wing has leathery skin and a snake-like body propelled by large wings. The young of the bog-wing are born in mid-flight, as the mother drops from an extreme altitude. The bogwings use their sharp talons to grasp the small rodents and water creatures which inhabit Dagobah's swamps. There were two distinct subspecies of bogwing known to exist, the greater and lesser bogwings. (CCG4, WSW)

Boh
this female name was common among the Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)

Boh, Tasrach
this man was a professor of archaeology at the Naboo Royal House of Learning, just prior to the Battle of Naboo. He spent part of his tenure researching the ruins which were hidden in the swamps of Naboo, hoping to learn more about the ancient inhabitants of the planet. He was captured by the smugglers who were illegally exporting Nabooan fauna off-planet, but was rescued by Rann I-Kanu and Galak. (WOTC, GMR2)

Bohonocha
this was the Huttese word for the number twenty-two (22). Note, however, that the Huttese counting system was based on a base-eight system. So, bohonocha indicated the number eighteen (18) in the Basic language. (GMR5)

Boiling Caress
this Yuuzhan Vong instrument of pain employed the immersion of one's body into a vat of boiling hot liquid. (DTR)

Boiling Sea
a tourist attraction on the planet Drall in the Corellian System. Many speculate that the sea is a temporary geological formation that will disappear in a few hundred generations. In summer, the ground surrounding the small, landlocked lake become hot enough to boil off the accumulated water. Rains and winter snows replentish the sea. (AC, AS)

Boiling Sea
located on the planet Vaynai, this area was distinct from the rest of the planet's shallow oceans by the bubbling waters it contained. Underwater vents released super-hot gases from beneath the planet's surface, heating the water and mixing together to form a corrosive acid. Even the steam which rose from the Boiling Sea could eat away at a boat's hull in a short time. (GMR8)

Boiny
meaning "reliable", this was one of the most common names among Rodian males. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)

Boiny
this Rodian was a member of the Nebula Front team, led by Captain Cohl, which infiltrated the Trade Federation battleship Revenue shortly before the Battle of Naboo. In the wake of their defeat at Dorvalla and their near-capture near Asmeru, Cohl's crew was either killed or alienated. Only Boiny remained by Cohl's side, especially after Cohl agreed to help Havac pull together a team of assassins to kill Chancellor Valorum on Eriadu. However, when the Jedi caught wind of Cohl's activities, Havac was forced to take action to avoid discovery of his own plans. Havac's forces intercepted Cohl's people on Eriadu, and a firefight broke out. Boiny was shot and left for dead by Havac in the melee. Boiny managed to survive, just barely, and helped Cohl regain consciousness. They then lent assistance to the Jedi Knights who were on Eriadu, but Boiny was shot again and killed while protecting Qui-Gon Jinn's back.. (COD)

Bojam Rees
this tattoist made a meager living on Star Station 12, catering to the desires of spacers to acquire new tattooes. His shop was located on the station's level 17. Abal Karda paid this green-skinned alien to tattoo the tribal designs of the Duhma on his face, and paid him with a lock of Selestrine's bejeweled hair. Karda used the alias Mixxim, but this ruse was not enough to keep Boba Fett from locating Bojam Rees and obtaining information on Karda's location. (EOE)

Bok
this Mon Calamari was the Captain of the cruiser Grey Damsel, stationed at Talay during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Bok and the Grey Damsel managed to escape the destruction of Tak Base, but not before a Darktrooper managed to gain access to the ship. Bok and his entire crew were killed when the Darktrooper executed its orders to wipe out the rebels. (T4)

Bok
this was one of the more common names given to males of the Mon Calamari race. To the Mon Calamari, this name meant "brave". (GCG)

Bok
this was one of the many family names used by the Bothan people. It referred to a draft animal which was native to the planet Bothawui. (GCG, WOTC)

Bok
this draft animal was native to the planet Bothawui. (GCG, WOTC)

Bok
this Kajain'sa'Nikto and his father, Tsyr, were two of the last members of the Morgukai Warriors. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, they were mercenaries who used cortosis-based armor and weapons to fight against the Jedi Knights. They were hired by Ro Fenn, with the assistance of Vilmahr Grahrk, to kidnap Nat Secura in an effort to force Lon Secura into keeping Ro Fenn alive. The Nikto were also under the employ of Kh'aris Fenn, who was working to overturn his father's leadership and take control of Ryloth. Bok was a hot-headed individual, and his father was continually having to overcome Bok's impulsive behaviors to realize their goals. They returned to Kintan with their captives, in an effort to draw the Jedi Knights searching for Nat Secura and Master Tholme away from Ryloth. On Kintan, Bok's bullish nature nearly got him killed, when he tried to capture Quinlan Vos and Aayla Secura near a river of molten lava. Aayla survived, but Bok was stranded on a stone in the middle of the lava. He was forced over the edge of a lava falls, but managed to avoid the lava and escape. He returned to his father's side when they trapped the Jedi inside Fortress Kh'aris. When Tysr was beheaded in battle by Quinlan Vos, Bok launched an all-out assault on the Jedi. Bok nearly killed Quinlan, but was stopped by the return of Aayla Secura. She cut off his right arm in battle, then forced Bok to the edge of a cliff. Rather than die at the hands of the Jedi, Bok threw himself from the cliff. However, he again escaped death, this time landing hard but away from the lava. Bok fled Kintan and met up with Kh'aris Fenn on Ord Mantell. From that point forward, Bok served the Twi'lek as a bodyguard. Master Tholme later discovered that Bok's continued re-appearance was due to the fact that he had been cloned by Sora Bulq on Saleucami, as the template for the Shadow Army to be used by the Separatists. The true Bok remained on Saleucami as the template for the Shadow Army, as well as the primary bodyguard for Sora Bulq. When the Republic launched its final assault on Saleucami, Bok found himself facing Aayla Secura once again. He vowed to avenge his father's death, and nearly defeated the Twi'lek Jedi when her lightsaber was rendered useless by his cortosis armor. However, Aayla managed to back Bok into a corner with her hand-to-hand fighting skills, before she drew on the Force and shoved him into an energy shield. Unable to prevent his fall, Bok landed against the energy shield and was destroyed instantly by its beams. (ROP, WOTC, RT, RSOS)

Bok Askol
this adult Pacithhip was an enigma among his own people, for his genetic makeup did not immediately provide an indication of his position in life. (CCG15)

Boku Settlement
this settlement, located on the planet G'rho, was located near a rich vein of ore. (TBSB)

Bol
this herbivorous mammal was native to the planet Dantooine. A separate subspecies of bol was engineered by scientists on Dantooine to provide more milk. (GQRG)

Bol Pack Runner
this large lizard was native to the planet Dantooine, although it preferred to live in the rocky caves that broken the endless savannahs of lavender grass. Measuring more than six meters in length, the bol pack runner was a cunning hunter distinguished by its toothy maw and two curving horns atop its head. Although not cannibalistic, bol pack runners have been known to kill their own offspring for use as bait, allowing the dead carcass to attract larger prey. (ROD)

Bola
this was one of the most common names given to female Corellians. (GMR9)

Bola Carbine
this handcrafted blaster carbine was originally developed by the Bothans. (SWGAL)

Bola, Nim
this man was an independent spacer who was active during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. He fancied himself to be a private investigator, and often hired himself out as a detective. During a stopover on Tatooine, he got caught up in the mission of Tereb Ab'Lon, who was trying to deliver key information to the Alliance base on Tao-Grant. When the Bothan was killed at the Pit of Carkoon, Nim Bola made the delivery himself with the help of Ral-Kalei and Tavri. (SWJ3, SWJ4)

Bolabo Hujaan
this female Sullustan maintained the starship repair facility known as Bolabo's Garage. She fled Sullust as soon as she could find employment aboard a starship, and never looked back. She learned how starships worked through years of on-the-job experience, and eventually settled on Byblos to start her own operation. She was known to have been loyal to the Alliance, and often helped repair the ships of Alliance agents. However, she never did anything for free, and demanded payment up front before any repairs were started. She was also known as a smuggler, and would often steal the parts she required for the repairs done in the Garage. In order to help maintain the secrecy of the Garage, Bolabo developed a network of contacts within Byblos Starport Security, which she kept happy with regular payoffs. (CRO)

Bolabo's Garage
located deep within the confines of Byblos Tower 214, this starship repair facility was owned and operated by Bolablo Hujaan. The Garage could outfit a ship with almost any form of illegal equipment, for the right price, and Bolabo worked hard to keep its existence a secret from Byblos Starport Security. (CRO)

Bolaph
meaning "tranquil", this was a common female name among the Mon Calamari race. (GCG)

B'olba

Bold Dove
this freighter was owned and operated by Jorgan Blech during the early years of the New Republic. (POC)

Bold Moisture Plant
this moisture-producing facility was owned by Orin Bold and his daughter, Nella, a year before the Battle of Naboo. Qui-Gon Jinn tracked the freighter of Baron Sando of Vena to the plant, in an effort to locate the source of two Mantellian savrips that killed the Baron. Orin employed a huge pool of attack droids to protect the plant from Taxer Sundown and his goons. (LSOM)

Bold, Nella
this young woman, a native of Ord Mantell, was the daughter of Orin Bold. She owned a working T-24 airspeeder, despite the fact that most every other T-24 was in a museum. She told Obi-Wan Kenobi that the craft had been abandoned by a miner near the Bold Moisture Plant, and her father had salvaged it. Nella made a few upgrades herself, and even made a Mobquet exhaust converter work with a Subpro thrust accelerator to keep the craft operating. Nella agreed to guide the Jedi to Taxer Sundown's facility on Ten Mile Plateau, but was captured by Sundown's agents. A group of savrips, led by Mawkran, rescued her and admitted that they were trying to destroy Sundown's operations. (LSOM)

Bold, Orin
this aging man owned the Bold Moisture Plant on Ord Mantell, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. After Taxer Sundown arrived on the planet, Orin resisted giving up his moisture farms to the crimelord, even after his wife was killed by Mantellian savrips. He feared that Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi were sent to shake him down, when the Jedi arrived at his facility to track down the Mantellian Savrips who had killed Baron Sando of Vena. Orin and his daugther, Nella, explained that the freighter had probably set down on Sundown's land, and Nella agreed to guide them to Ten Mile Plateau. Nella later discovered that her mother had actually been killed by Sundown, who made her death appear to be caused by the savrips in order to gain support for his own activities. Orin himself learned that his wife had discovered Sundown's stash of lightsabers, and threatened to reveal his criminal activities. (LSOM)

Boldheart
this New Republic Corona-class frigate was the first New Republic ship to encounter the Teljkon vagabond. It was disabled by the vagabond about five years before Drayson sent Pakkpekatt and Lando Calrissian out to locate the vagabond. (BTS)

Boles Roor
this Sneevel was one of the Outer Rim's best podracer pilots, and was also known as a notorious drunkard and one of the best glimmik singers. Boles Roor was a two-time winner of the Boonta Eve Classic, staged every year near Mos Espa on Tatooine, and preferred the Bin Gassi Quadrijet 4Barrel 940E race. Boles performed live at the Poodoo Lounge the night before Anakin Skywalker won the Boonta. Just prior to his set, a drunken Boles bet Ben Quadrinaros a cool five million wupiupi that the Toong was too scared to even show up for the race. Unfortunately for Boles, Ben actually ws in the starting lineup, although he podracer had been sabotaged. Boles found himself paying heavily for his boisterous wager. Note that the official Star Wars website (http://www.starwars.com) claims that the bet was made in peggats, not wupiupi. (TPM, IS1, IG1, PRT, OWS)

Bolgoink
this Gamorrean settlement, controlled by the mighty Bolgoink clan, was located on the Wugguh continent of Gamorr. One of the first major fairs, held during the season of Slushtime, occurtred annually in Bolgoink. (SWJ14)

Boliscon Towers
located on the perimeter of the Soco-Jarel Spaceport, this pair of five-story-tall docking hangars is the most noticeable man-made feature of the planet Socorro. The repair and modification shops within the Towers were well-known to pirates and smugglers who needed to upgrade their ship systems. (BSS)

Boliscon, Aquato
this man was the owner of Boliscon Towers, on the planet Socorro. Considered one of the few legitimate businessbeings on the planet, Boliscon was at one time a smuggler and criminal of some renown. He retired after making a fortune running weapons and spice, and eventually purchased the Soco-Jarel Spaceport on Socorro. A member of the Society of the Black Bha'lir, he was also a great judge of starships and young smugglers. Aquato made sure that he took advantage of both when he discovered them in the Soco-Jarel Spaceport. (BSS)

Boll Trinkatta
this Kloodavian owned the Trinkatta Starships manufacturing facility on Esseles, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. When Adi Gallia came to Esseles to investigate the building of hyperdrive-equipped droid starfighters, Trinkatta had her imprisoned. He knew that the ships - ordered to have the hyperdrives installed by the Trade Federation - were illgeal, but he needed the business. He protested their development after a test pilot was killed. However, his own labor and security droids turned against him, and they threw him in a cell as well. They were reprogrammed by the Trade Federation, after Boll refused to deliver the upgraded ships. (E1A1)

Bolla
this Huttese verb translated into Basic as "to go." (GMR5)

Bolle Bol
this bio-engineered variant on the bol was imported to the planet Naboo in large numbers. Once established on Naboo, the bolle bols grouped into large herds and began to reproduce on their own. (GQRG)

Bollem
this mammalian creature preferred to live in the high mountain country. Its hide was desired for tanning to make furred leather. (LCF)

Bollen Pattern
this medical outline defines a series of neural connections which links all the body's muscles to a central location, such as the brain. The bollen pattern of an individual is essential to the implantation of a RiMPack. (CFG)

Bollin
this city was the oldest of the platform cities established on the planet Cularin, in reaction to the Tarasin concerns for the environment of Cularin. Gadrin and her sister city, Hedrett, had expanded rapidly since beign founded by Reidi Artom, and the Tarasin feared that uncontrolled growth would seriously impact the growth and future of the sacred ch'hala trees. It grew up as the primary export location for ch'hala tree wood, and developed the best relationship of any human settlement with the native Tarasin. Over time, however, Bollin began to deteriorate, and the population began to move away. (LFC)

Bollin Animal Emporium
located in the platform city of Bollin, on the planet Cularin, this zoo boasted that it maintained a collection of some of the galaxy's most dangerous creatures. At the time of the Battle of Naboo, the Emporium was the only location in its sector which kept a rancor on display. The animals on display at the Bollin Animal Emporium were just that: on display, and not available for sale. In fact, the Emporium was actually a front operation for the criminal enterprises of Hlisk Squin. (LFC)

Bollom
this Tahlboorean term translates to "war." (DRPC)

Bollux
a stocky, humanoid BLX-5 robot with long arms and a broad torso, Bollux led an adventurous existence. He was first activated at the shipyards of Fondor, many years before the Battle of Naboo. Because of a number of coincidences, Bollux never received the mandatory memory wipe all droids required, and his personality continued to grow and change. After serving as a maintenance technician, and later as a regimental commander during the Clone Wars, Bollux was later deemed obsolete and sold off. He was purchased by Klaus "Doc" Vandangante and his daughter, Jessa, who did some further modifications to Bollux and eventually gave him the nickname "Bollux," after all the trouble they had getting him operational. During the early years of the New Order, Han Solo was contracted by Jessa to help locate the people stolen by the Corporate Sector Authority. Bollux was Han's primary cargo, serving as a transport disguise for the small supercomputer, Blue Max. Bollux's central cavity was modified to allow Blue Max to be placed inside Bollux's body, which was protected by a plastron plate. While on the mission, Bollux was forced to portray a gladiator droid known as the Annihilator at the Stars' End facility, in order to appease the gruesome entertainment requirements of Viceprex Hirken. During the escape from Stars' End, Bollux was nearly destroyed when Uul-Rha-Shan hit him with a blaster bolt. In an act of self-preservation, Bollux downloaded his entire memory core into Blue Max before shutting down completely. Although its computer systems were destroyed, Bollux was later repaired by Jessa's team and given a new carcass. Because Bollux had fufilled his mission, Doc and Jessa manumitted the droid, as well as Blue Max. The pair decided to see the galaxy, and asked Han Solo to accept them as ship's helpers. Han overrode his instinctual distrust of automatons, after witnessing the two droids' loyalty and talent, and accepted them as crewmembers. They proved invaluable a number of times, helping to incapacitate Zlarb and his thugs on Lur. They were also able to communicate with the Millennium Falcon, and helped to keep it operating at top condition. When Han and Chewie set off to find the Queen of Ranroon, Bollux again proved his worth, finding a way to destroy the Guardian Corp of war-robots. Following the discovery of the Queen of Ranroon, Blue Max and Bollux left Han Solo and went with Skynx to help the Ruurian finish his studies before becoming a chroma-wing flier. (HSE, HSR, HSL)

Eventually, it was discovered that Handon Guld and Rickard Lusoff had conspired to kill Calder, after Handon learned that Calder was having an affair with his wife. (KOTOR)

Bolotaur
this species of large, four-legged reptile was native to the planet Kashyyyk. The Wookiees of the planet often tamed bolotaurs and used them as mounts. Despite their size, bolotaurs were considered to have the fastest metabolism of any creature in the galaxy. They were able among the shortest-lived reptiles, although they reproduced at a prodigious rate. Note that this creature is also referred to as a bolataur. (SWGAL)

Bolpuhr
this Noghri bodyguard accompanied Leia Organa Solo to Rhommamool during her first negotiations with Nom Anor. When Leia and the New Republic encountered the Yuuzhan Vong on Dantooine, Bolpuhr was killed trying to save her. (VP, DTO)

Bolstyngar
this was one of the quietest predators found in the jungles of the planet Kashyyyk, despite the fact that it stood more the four meters in height. Bolstyngars used a pair of auditory clusters to help them locate their prey, but these hypertympanic clusters also gave the bolstyngar the ability to hear virtually every sound the jungle made. Thus, the average bolstyngar was continually bombarded by sound, and it often preyed on those creatures that annoyed them the most. (GMR4)

Bolt Squadron
captained by Tyresi Gurtt, Bold Squadron was the premier flight group of the Eyttyrmin Batiiv Survivors. (IJ)

Bolter
this hardy plant is often used to assist in terraforming new worlds. (POT)

Bolton
this smuggler reprogrammed his DC5-1 freight droid to provide Customs officials with false manifests, relying on their trust of the usually reliable droids. (SWJ14)

Boltrunian
this near-human race was characterized by their green skin and the knobby ridge of bony that ran from the center of their forehead over the skull and down to the neck. They also had tall, pointed ears and a toothy grimace. (GMR4)

Boltthrower
this was one of the Nebulon-B frigates which were used by the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XW)

Bolt-thrower
this primitive weapon is similar to a Wookiee bowcaster in many ways. It uses a crossbow-like structure to launch a thick cylinder into flight at a target. While it has the power of a blaster in terms of stopping an enemy, the bolt-thrower was a single-shot, slow-loading weapon. (ROE)

Bolvan
this man was the Captain of the Devastator, during the period in which Darth Vader was forced to exterminate a quarter of a million Falleen in order to prevent a widespread plague. Bolvan disagreed with Vader's plan to bombard the failed laboratory with turbolaser fire, arguing that a more complete assault would be required. Vader wished the Falleen to remain alive, and ordered Lieutenant Hija to fire on the lab. (SESB)

Bolystyngar
this creature, native to the jungles of Kashyyyk, can often be domesticated as a pet. These creatures were known for their sensitive ears, which could pick up the smallest of sounds. (HNN4)

Bom Vimdin
this male Advosze despises other members of his own species. He was pessimistic and territorial, working as a solo smuggler for corrupt officials. He was in the Mos Eisley cantina when Ben Kenobi and Luke Skywalker booked passage to Alderaan on the Millennium Falcon. Following the Battle of Endor, he was apprehended by agents of the New Republic while transporting Imperial agents back to Imperial space. (CCG2, WBC)

Boma Beast
this was a species of huge, yellowish-green beast that roamed the jungles of Onderon and its moon, Dxun. They had ferocious teeth and a reptilian skin, and resembled bears. (TOJ, KOTOR2)

Boma Inondo
this was one of the many Ithorians who allied themselves with the Imperial forces that took control of the planet Ithor, during the height of the New Order. Although Inondo served as Momaw Nadon's chief of security aboard the Tafanda Bay, he shed his loyalties to the other Ithorian when Nadon was exiled from Ithor. When Nadon returned to Ithor with a group of Alliance operatives, in the hopes of turning his people against the Empire, Boma Inondo tried to stand in his way. During a brief struggle in a forrolow berry-processing plant, a young Alliance operative knocked Inondo into a vat of berries. Inondo tried to shoot them with his blaster, but had become clogged and exploded instead. Inondo died in the blast. (MIS7)

B'omarr Flats
this barren plain was located on the planet Tatooine, between the Great Mesra Plateau and the Bantha Plains. (IWST)

B'omarr Order
a sect of monks who inhabited the wastes of Tatooine, the B'omarr Order arrived on Tatooine some 700 years before the Battle of Yavin. They built a huge citadel in the deep desert in order to isolate themselves and concentrate on the physical denial of all senses that was central to their belief system. This citadel was invaded 150 years later by the bandit Alkhara, but the monks simply let him reside there, tolerating his presence only because they knew he would someday falter, and they could retake the citadel. The palace was later inhabited by the minions of Jabba the Hutt, who used the citadel as his base of operations. As with the bandit Alkhara, the B'omarr tolerated Jabba's presense. When Jabba was killed, the B'omarr again retook the palace. Their existence is more whispers and mysticism than concrete fact. One thing that is known about the B'omarr is that, when they reach a certain level of spiritual awareness, they have their brains surgically removed from their bodies and placed in a nutrient suspension. The reason behind this ritual stems from their belief that they no longer need their physical bodies to continue their devotion. (DS, TJP, SOT)

B'omarr Pipe Organ
this was a specialized organ developed by the B'omarr Monks of the planet Tatooine. The only known example of such an organ was discovered within the walls of the throne room in Jabba's Palace, after the crimelord's death. (IWST)
