Pulsar
this Corellian Engineering Corporation gunship was part of the New Republic naval fleet, during the latter stages of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Captained by Kartha, the Pulsar was badly damaged near Obroa-held when the Republic destroyed the Yuuzhan Vong fleet commanded by Komm Karsh, which had been guarding Obroa-skai. The Pulsar was unrecoverable, and was later scuttled for weapons and spare parts. (DW)

Pulsar Skate
a deep-sea creature native to Corellia. (KT)

Pulsar Skate
a Baudo-class star yacht owned by Mirax Terrik, named for a deep-sea creature on Corellia which it resembled. The starship once belonged to her father, and was modified by Wedge Antilles who, at the age of fifteen, replaced its fusion chamber on the starboard engine. When Wedge took the new Rogue Squadron to the Chorax System, it found the Pulsar Skate being detained by the Imperial Interdictor-class ship Black Asp. The Rogues managed to scare off the Black Asp, and the Pulsar Skate assisted in the rescue of Corran Horn's X-Wing. Mirax's father used the shhip to smuggle spice, which attracted the attention on Hal Horn, who hunted down the elder Terrik and captured him. Horn sent Terrik to the correctional facility on Kessel. Mirax held no small amount of contempt for Corran Horn, despite Wedge's allegiance to Rogue Squadron, but she held her tongue. Mirax agreed to assist the New Republic during the Krytos crisis, ostensibly acting as the lead ship in the convoy that was to bring bacta from Thyferra to Coruscant, via the Alderaan System. The convoy was attacked by the Warlord Zsinj, after he was tipped off as to the convoy's flight plan, before Rogue Squadron could arrive to escort it to Coruscant. It was believed that Mirax, her pilot Liat Tsayv, and the Pulsar Skate were destroyed in the ambush, but they had left the convoy and gone to Borleias with a sample of the bacta. (XWN)

Pulsar Station
this was the name used by the New Republic to describe the Death Star-like construction discovered in a secret lab on the planet Liinade III. The Republic believed that Prince-Admiral Krennel was preparing to built the station, based on all the evidence it found in Valleyport. However, the lab had actually been set up in secret by Ysanne Isard, who hoped to undermine the efforts of Krennel and Isard's clone to disrupt the New Republic. Unlike the first two Death Stars, Pulsar Station was built around an array of smaller super-lasers, each of which could take out a Super-class Star Destroyer with a single blast. This allowed it to be more accurate than the second Death Star, while better utilizing the destructive capabilities of the super-lasers. In reality, there were no actual plans to build Pulsar Station. However, the Republic believed that Krennel was planning to built it into the shell of a large planetoid. When Mon Mothman announced that the Republic had discovered the lab and tried to undermine Krennel's efforts, he was sincerely able to rebuff her statements because he didn't know anything about it. (IR)

Pulsar Supertanker
this conglomerate was, at one time, a member of the Trade Federation. However, after Nute Gunray testified that Pulsar had acted with "malicious disregard for profit," and had given "charitable donations lacking discernible reward," Pulsar was voted off the Federation's Directorate. It was generally believed that Gunray's orations during the proceedings were what attracted the interest of Darth Sidious in choosing the Trade Federation for his own machinations. (COD)

Pulse Bomb
this form of explosive weapon was developed by the Gungans, and saw widespread use during the Clone Wars. (MBS)

Pulse Kneader
this was a form of water-based massage system, used in the bathrooms of well-to-do beings. (TG)

Pulse Laser
a starship weapon. (SWJ9)

Pulse Rocket
a Nuffin weapon. (JTH)

Pulse Siphon
this device used a cam to draw fluids into a tube to transport to another container. The cam can be powered magnetically or with a small battery. (GG2)

Pulse, Lowal
this immense man worked as one of the paid gladiators, representing the Nonsu corporation in the fights staged in the city of Ektra, on Metellos. Pulse was considered a ringer by most beings, since he was bankrolled by Nonsu itself. To distinguish himself, Pulse cut a notch in an earlobe for each of his victories. He was also something of a spy, working in the Moridebo District and providing information on the status of CarsinShare. (CCW)

Pulse-Blast Rifle
produced by Core World Arms during the golden age of the Old Republic, the pulse-wave rifle was considered by many weapons experts to be the grandfather of the modern blaster. It was an incredibly heavy weapon, but it could produce incredible amounts of damage. (AEG)

Pulse-gravity Interdiction Mine
developed by the Hapan peoples during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, and provided to the Galactic Alliance shortly after the Battle of Ebaq, these mines resembled simple asteroids floating in the void of space. However, they generated an artificial gravity shadow into hyperspace. The gravity shadows of a cluster of these mines caused starship hyperdrives and navigational computers to suddenly revert back to realspace, where they were trapped behind the interdiction fields. Any starship which tried to escape the field often ran into the mines, which exploded with deadly force and severely damaged most ships. (UF)

Pulsejet
this thruster technology was employed by the Yevetha to move their Aramadia-class thrustships during taxiing in starports. (TT)

Pulsemass Generator
developed by the Hapans from Imperial gravity-well projector technology, these devices can be deployed in hyperspace to create false images of realspace masses, effectively keeping other ships in realspace near the generators, or bringing them out of hyperspace near them. These small devices are launched from tubes on a starship, such as the Hapan Battle Dragon, and the results are similar to those of the huge gravity wave generators on Interdictor-class ships. (CPL, COTF, CTD)

Pulse-sticker
developed during the early stages of the Clone Wars, this specialized medical patch was used to denote a patient's condition. The pulse-sticker could monitor the heartrate of the patient it was attached to, and could be set to indicate a patient's disposition. These devices found widespread use in the triage centers of battlefield hospitals and RMSUs, where clone troopers and other organic combatants were assessed for damage. The pulse-sticker was set to provide easy indication of a trooper's condition, so that individuals with the most need could be routed into the operating room first. Usually, patients were rated on a scale of 1 through 6. A 6 meant that the patient might survive, but only with intensive individual treatment. A 5 meant that a patient was more likely to survive, with less-intenstive treatment. An X meant that the patient had mortal injuries or was highly unlikely to survive, no matter what the treatment. (MBS)

Pulse-wave Blaster
an ancient weapon, used before energy weapons were commonplace, pulse-wave blaster created a spatial distortion when fired. This caused severe damage to solid matter, as the wave altered atomic make-up. The wave dissipated as it moved away from the weapon. (E)

Pulse-wave Induction Spine
this ancient weapon resembled a modern bow, but produced a wave of energy when pulled and released. The ancient Krath used these weapons on their war droids, during the attack on the Jedi convocation on Deneba. (EGD)

Pulse-wave Rifle
an ancient weapon, used before energy weapons were commonplace, pulse-wave rifle created a spatial distortion when fired. This caused severe damage to solid matter, as the wave altered atomic make-up. The wave dissipated as it moved away from the weapon. (TOJC)

an older weapon that is used to blast holes in metal surfaces. (TJP)

Punch-and-Pop Bomb
this was the nickname of a type of explosive, like the Adumari Broadcap bomb, which penetrates the ground for several meters before exploding. (SOA)

Punch-dagger
this type of small, handheld knife was equipped with a specialized blade. The blade was forcefully extended when it was plunged into a solid material, such as flesh, causing a great deal more internal damage after the initial thrust. (HSL)

Punda
this was the Huttese word for "neck." (IS1)

Punisher
this was one of the multitude of Imperial-class Star Destroyers which made up the Imperial Navy fleet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. For many years, the Punisher was under the command of Captain Hugo Treece, before he was assigned to the Imperial garrison on Cloud City. (TIE, PH)

Punishing One
this ship was owned by the bounty hunter Dengar. A modified Corellian Engineering JumpMaster-5000 transport, the Punishing One was propelled by an outdated Class 3 hyperdrive, but its sublight engines were top-of-the-line. Dengar preferred the crescent-shaped ship to many newer designs, simply because it was easy to maintain. It was originally armed with a single quad-blaster and a mini ion cannon, and Dengar add a proton torpedo launcher later on. It had minimal crew space, with just enough for Dengar and a captive. During the months following the Battle of Yavin, the Punishing One was badly damaged on Togoria, when Dengar was working with Udin and Eron Stonefield in an effort to capture Han Solo. (CCG4, GMR7, MIS8)

Punt
this Gupin lived on the Forest Moon of Endor, during the years prior to the construction of the second Death Star. The cousin of Rin-Rin and Oobel, Punt was considered a selfish and greedy individual. He took control of the Gupin's fortress, hoping to earn power and wealth. However, the Grasstrekkers attacked the fortress, and Punt took the cowardly way out: he gave the Grasstrekkers the key to the Guniepal Chest to prevent his own death. (ECAR)

Punworcca 116-class Sloop
this was a 15.2-meter-long starship produced by the Huppla Pasa Tisc Shipwrights Collective on the planet Geonosis, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Similar in shape to the Nantex-class fighter, the Punworcca 116-class sloop had twin hulls sitting above and below the main fuselage. However, the Punworcca 116 provided standing room for ten beings in its hold, along with cockpit space for a droid pilot. The cockpit was a clear sphere located at the front of the fuselage, but could be replaced with a weapon emplacement if cockpit functions were rerouted to the hold. While not fully armed, the sloop was equipped with 84 narros tractor/repulsor beams mounted along the twin prows, which could be used to deflect a projectile attack. Like the Nantex-class fighter, the Punworcca 116-class sloop was designed for atmospheric and in-system use. It could attain speeds near 1,600 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. (X2, NEGV)

Punyoo
this was the Huttese word for "weapon." (GMR5)

Pupton
a serving of vegetables. (TME)

Purbole
this ape-like creature was native to the planet Dathomir, where it lived in packs that inhabited the treetops. Purboles hunted in packs, tracking their prey from above before dropping from the trees and surrounding it. (GORW)

Pure Sabacc
this Marauder-class corvette was modified for use as a transport vessel by its Captain, Vortia Kwis, during the early years of the New Republic. When the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy began, Kwis and his crew agreed to help ferry refugees from Dubrillion to Dantooine, shortly after Dubrillion was attacked. Upon arriving at Dantooine, the Pure Sabacc's crew as forced to fight its way to freedom after arriving in the middle of a Yuuzhan Vong sneak attack. This forced Captain Kwis to reconsider his position of support for the New Republic, which seemed to be losing the war despite all efforts. Kwis and his crew agreed to join the Peace Brigade, supplying the Pure Sabacc as a floating recruiting center. (NJOSB)

Pure Sabacc
this term is used in the game of sabacc, and refers to a hand which has a value of exactly 23, either positive or negative. Some gambling establishments maintained a rule that a positive 23 won out over a negative 23, in order to make the game sfaer for the house. (CCC, RD, HT)

Pure Sabacc
this ramshackel Y164 merchant ship was stationed at Durren when Seti Ashgad and Dzym unleashed the Death Seed plague on the Meridian Sector. Owned and operated by Captain Bortrek, it was the Pure Sabacc which intercepted C-3PO and R2-D2 after the droids escaped from the Borealis. (POT)

Pure, The
this monicker is used by the Yevethan rulers to describe their race. They believed themselves the purest form of life in the galaxy. (SOL)

Puree un cratta-u hemmin?
this Snivvian phrase, used in the world of art and antiquities, translated into Basic as "Did you mean to create a travesty?" (HNN5)

Purella
this arachnoid predator was found on the moon Yavin 8. It was distinguished by its scarlet-colored bristles and glowing orange eyes. Like most arachnids, the purella had eight legs and four barbed pincers near its mouth. Their pincers exuded a neurotoxic that immobilized the muscles and nerves of its prey, allowing the purella to drag it back to its nest. The purella was carnivorous, and preferred the meat of young Melodies to that of reels or raiths. They spun thick, black webs in their cavernous homes near the Melodie ceremonial pools. (LW, P)

Purenta
this was the Snivvian word for "twin." (HNN5)

Purgato, Klaggus
this man was one of the Holowan Mechanicals scientists who worked on the IG-88 project. Several rumors persisted that Purgato survived the assault on the Holowan lab, when the IG-88s were first activated, but none of these rumors was ever substantiated. (FTD)

Purge Virus
this specialized computer virus was developed by alien cultures who didn't want their technology shared with others. The planted the virus inside the programming of their equipment, and if another race's technology ever tried to interface with it, the equipment would dump the virus into the intruder's system. The virus then systematically ate away at the intruder's datacore. The damage could be contained by paying the virus' authors a fee for a translation database, which restored the intruder's datacore to its previous state. (SSR)

Purghom Musical Performance Hall
this noted amphitheater was located in the city of Weogar, on the planet Clak'Dor VII. Although the performers at the Purghom facility were from a wide range of musical styles, each was a recognized virtuoso in their field. (GORW)

Puroth
this was one of the many Jedi Masters who were killed by General Grievous during the Clone Wars. Puroth died on Tovarskl, along with Jedi Master Nystammall. Both of their lightsabers were confiscated by Grievous, who later used them in combat against Obi-Wan Kenobi. (VD3, E3N)

Purple Stingwort
this venomous plant was native to the shores of the planet Drongar. It used its color to attract its prey, which it rendered immobile by exuding a potent toxin. When this poison entered the system of most mammalian species, it caused excruitiating pain and almost instant death in most lower species. Any humanoid being coming in contact with the stingwort venom was plunged into anaphylactic shock, which could result in death if not treated immediately. (MBS)

Purple-3
C-3PO's alias when he accompanied Han Solo and Luke Skywalker to Crseih station. Threepio had been painted purple to disguise him in case they encountered any Imperial agents at the station. (CS)

Purpsh
this was one of the four Vagaari who accompanied Bearsh on the mission to locate the remains of the Outbound Flight Project, some three years before the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy. It was Purpsh who surreptitiously installed a navigational recording device aboard the Chaf Envoy, so that the Vagaari would have a way to escape the Redoubt after they eliminated the Chiss. (SQ)

Purr
this Tinnell originally left her homeworld when a freighter, known as the Bottom Line, landed to investigate the planet. She was curious about the ship, and sneaked aboard to explore. She was still in the ship when it lifted off, and wasn't discovered until the ship was deep in hyperspace. The crew of the ship didn't know her name, and gave her the nickname Purr. She was valuable to the crew of the Bottom Line, helping to repair the ship and make is run better. However, the crimelord who owned the ship wasn't too happy with the stowaway, and put Purr to work at a variety of menial jobs. After the crimelord and his gang were killed an a gangwar, Purr called upon The Force to help her survive. She fled on the first ship that would take her, and ended up on Dohu VII. It was there that she met the smuggler Dannen Lifehold, where Purr discovered that Dannen's ship, the Lifeline, was in need of repair. She was a natural mechanic, and agreed to help him fix the ship. Despite her experiences, she remained quite naïve and innocent about a great many things. (SWJ1)

Purse-world
this was the Basic translation of the Neimoidian word for "colony", describing any planet which had been colonized by the Neimoidian race. (SWI71)

Pursian
this alien race was native to the planet Pursin. (MC77)

Pursin
the leaders of this planet pursued their local Imperial Governor for support in their attempt to subjugate the neighboring planet of Yugami, during the months leading up to the Battle of Endor. The Pursian people had been at odds with the natives of Yugami for generations, and hoped that the support of the Empire would allow them to rule Yugami in any way they pleased. (MC77)

Pursuer-class Enforcement Ship
an older model of MandalMotors' police ship, this 30.1-meter craft was used by the Mandalorians as a system patrol vehicle. During the height of the Clone Wars, MandalMotors was forced to refit the ship for use as a picket ship by the Separatists. The Pursuer-class ship required a single pilot, and had room for 2 guards and 5 prisoners. It had enough shielding to handle most pirates, and was armed with a twin blaster cannon, an ion cannon, and a proton torpedo launcher. The ship was basically a long, thin rectangle stabilized in flight by a port-side wing and maneuvering cluster. After the Clone Wars, the Pursuer-class enforcement ship was made available throughout the galaxy, but often only to those planets that were loyal to the Empire. Note that Star Wars Gamer, issue 7, indicates that the Pursuer-class ship measured fifty meters in length. (DESB, EGV, FOP, SWI80, GMR7)

Purtempas
this was the Snivvian word for "slavery." (HNN5)

Pushee wumpa!
this Huttese command literally meant "Get out of my way!" (GMR5)

Push-feather
this was one of the many games developed by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic for developing the Force sensitivities of young students. The idea was for a student to use the Force to move a feather around. The game was meant to attune a student to the slightest changes in balance and pressure, and to train students to use an opponent's energy against them rather than blocking the opponent's energy with greater energy. (YDR)

Pustina
this was a Drach'nam swear word. (TFNR)

Putney
the Bakuran Army Commander in charge of the assault troops sent to take control of the planetary repulsor activated on Drall. (SC)

Puttie
a slow-moving sport. (COJ)

Puul
this was a Yuuzhan Vong expletive. (EVC)

Puullo
this Hutt worked for Shettora during the Galactic Civil War, controlling a criminal enterprise on the planet Brentaal. Puullo was known as a soft-spoken and relatively fair Hutt, and was considered to be even-handed during negotiations. This made Puullo something of an anomaly in the Hutt culture, but helped enlarge his empire. Despite his seemingly tender attitude, Puullo was nonetheless ruthless when he had to be, and ensured his operation ran smoothly with subtle hints and assassinations. (FOP)

Puurrgerr
this Wookiee clan was a longtime rival of the Grrobahrr clan. (C)

Puzzle Box
this gift was given by Hapans, on those occasions when they wanted to perplex or aggravate the recipient. The box itself contains a small surprise, which could be valuable or dangerous, depending on the nature of the gift-giving. However, the box was an intricately-created puzzle which took a variety of skills to solve and open. There is no limit to the complexity and steps required to open a puzzle box. These boxes originated as children's gifts, but evolved throughout Hapan history to their present form. (WOTC)

Puzzle Room
one of Moff Bandor's Game Chambers of Questal, the Puzzle Room is a natural cave. The floor of the chamber appears to be a single sheet of metal. The center of the room is marked by a large, black, laser-studded sphere suspended above a control panel. When one of Bandor's prisoners enters the chamber, the sphere begins to spin and descend, firing its lasers around the chamber. The object of the chamber is to determine how to use the control panel to turn off the sphere before it descends and shoots you to pieces. (GCQ)

Puzzleflower
this plant, native to the planet Nimban, has interlocking petals that surround the central stem. The Nimbanese people developed a crude form of analytical reasoning as they tried to open the flower's petals to reach the edible stem. (GG12)

Puzzle-wood
this was another name for the corsit-puzzle tree, but it more often referred to the wood that wsa harvested from the trees. The Thonnermen who lived on the planet cut down the trees with lasercutters, then cleared off the thick spikes from a section of the wood, to create a wicked staff or club. (GMR9)

PVC-800
this personal vehicle coordination device, produced by Vewas Data Controllers, was used to provide the pilot of a small speeder or hovercraft with a heads-up display of a variety of data. This allowed the pilot to have ready access to all sorts of information. The PVC-800 could also be programmed to take over from the organic pilot, in the event of an imminent collision or crash. (GFT)

Pveiz
the wood of this tree was known to be extremely brittle, even when healthy. (BP)

Pveric'ell
this was the Socorran term for "penance," and was used by the Society of the Black Bha'lir to indicate the punishment a member must take before rejoining the brotherhood. (BSS)

P-w401
Sienar Fleet Systems ion maneuvering jets used on TIE Fighters. They were referred to as P-W4-01 engines in The Making of Baron Fel. (EGV, MBF)

P-w702
this was a series of upgrading maneuvering jets produced by Seinar Fleet Systems for use on Imperial TIE Fighters. (CCG11)

Pwalloom
this was one of the most common male names used by members of the Ithorian race. Although most Ithorian names were not used for a specific meaning, historians found that this name meant "thunder". (GCG)

P'w'eck
this alien race resembled smaller versions of the Ssi-ruuk, and were also native to Lwhekk. The Ssi-ruuk used the P'w'ecks as slaves on their starships. The average P'w'eck has been bred by the Ssi-ruuk to be a drone, lacking any form of creativity or initiative. At fifteen years of age, all P'w'ecks were enteched by the Ssi-ruuk. At this age, the P'w'eck was old enough to reproduce but not yet matured into a full adult. The Ssi-ruuk discovered that P'w'ecks who were allowed to mature became unstable and violent, and were useless as slaves. About a year after the Yuuzhan Vong took control of the planet Coruscant and transformed it into a new version of Yuuzhan'tar, the P'w'eck arrived at Bakura claiming that they had defeated the Ssi-ruuk and freed themselves from slavery. The P'w'eck Emancipation Movement presented the Bakurans with an offer of alliance, to strengthen both groups against future invasions. This movement proved to be an elaborate ruse concocted by the Yuuzhan Vong themselves, in an effort to capture both Lwhekk and Bakura, in the hopes of cutting off the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. As part of the alliance, the P'w'eck leaders required that Bakura be consecrated, so that any P'w'eck who died on Bakura would not lose their soul. In reality, the Keeramak was acting on behalf of the Ssi-ruuk, who were actually being controlled by disguised Yuuzhan Vong warriors. The Yuuzhan Vong hoped to take Bakura as well as Lwhekk, in an effort to gain a foothold along the border of the Unknown Regions. (TB, AE, FH2)

P'w'eck Emancipation Movement
this was group which outwardly championed the liberation of the P'w'eck race from their Ssi-ruuk masters. The movement won their freedom during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, and decided to strengthen their position by allying with their former enemies, the Bakurans. The hope was to unite the Bakurans and P'w'eck into an independent alliance that could stand alone, apart from the New Republic. The leader of the movement was a mutated Ssi-ruu known as the Keeramak, a rainbow-colored individual who opposed his race's self-centered view of the galaxy. Born several years before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, the Keeramak rallied the P'w'eck into a cohesive unit, and led them in a year-long battle to overthrow the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium. Five years later, Lwothin brought the movement's message of peace to the Bakurans. As part of the unification, the P'w'eck required that Bakura be consecrated, and a lavish ceremony was planned. It was later discovered that the movement was, in fact, a hoax conceived by the Yuuzhan Vong. Cleverly disguised with full-body ooglith masquers, Yuuzhan Vong posed as both P'w'eck and Ssi-ruu to fool the Bakuran people. Having conquered the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium, the Yuuzhan Vong hoped to also take control of Bakura and gain a foothold along the borders of the Unknown Regions. However, the spirit of the P'w'eck race was underestimated by the Ssi-ruuk and the Yuuzhan vong. Lwothin managed to kill the Keeramak, and P'w'eck crewmen managed to overpower their Ssi-ruuk superiors and halt the invasion of Bakura. A formal alliance between Bakura and the true P'w'eck Emancipation Movement - under the non-coerced control of Lwothin - spelled the end of the scheme to subjugate Bakura. (FH2)

Pwigiri
this was a common name among the Toydarian race. (WOTC, UANT)

Pwihei
this Ithorian surname was believed to mean "jeweler", according to historian who studied the Ithorian race. (GCG)

P'w'itthki
this deity was the father of the P'w'eck species. According to the Ssi-ruuk's sacred tome, the G'nnoch, there were four eggs formed at the creation of the universe. From the first hatched Ssi and P'w'itthki. Ssi's children hatched from the second egg, while P'w'itthki's children hatched from the third egg. The fourth egg was reserved for those descendants who earned a place in the afterlife. P'w'itthki taught his hatchlings to hate those of Ssi, showing them how to make war on their brethern. Eventually, Ssi was forced to defeat P'w'itthki in combat, but allowed P'w'itthki's hatchlings to live on, serving the children of Ssi forall eternity. This myth describes the beginning of the relationship between the Ssi-ruuk (htachlings of Ssi) and the P'w'eck (hatchlings of P'w'itthki). (TBSB)

Pwoe
this Quarren Senator to the New Republic served on the Advisory Council during in the initial stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. He was the first Quarren to serve on the Council, and was something of a surprise choice in the wake of the general apathy the Quarren showed the Alliance. It was whispered that Borsk Fey'lya had pushed hard for Pwoe's nomination. Pwoe was opposed to the formation of a new Jedi Council, and was one of the first Senators to question the validity of Leia Organa Solo's assessment of the Yuuzhan Vong's abilities. He also accused Leia of exaggerating the threat in an effort to gather power for herself in order to unseat Fey'lya. In addition, it was Pwoe who first accused Jagged Fel of harboring intense anti-alien biases, despite the fact that Fel had been brought up among the Chiss and was considered one of their own. Pwoe was one of few members of the Advisory Council to reach Borleias, in the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant, and tried to take command of the Republic in the wake of Fey'lya's death. He met with stern opposition from General Wedge Antilles, who believed that Pwoe was not going to work in the best interests of the Republic. Nevertheless, Antilles bowed to Pwoe's demands that Borleias be sacrificed so that the Advisory Council could reconvene and determine a strategy for saving the galaxy. For his own part, Pwoe named himself Chief of State of the New Republic, despite the fact that the Republic was virtually destroyed. He later began moving the command structure of the Republic to Kuat, disregarding the calls from Cal Omas on Calamari to reconvene there. Pwoe, now ostracized from the New Republic, had decided to meet his own agenda, and even agreed to meet with the Peace Brigade - and the Yuuzhan Vong's Supreme Overlord, Shimrra - on Ylesia to discuss treaty of friendship with the Ylesian Republic. Unfortunately, Pwoe's supporters were not interested in allying themselves with the enemy, and many deserted him. Pwoe and the few supporters that traveled with him to Ylesia were captured by General Tigran Jamiro's forces. (VP, DTO, DTR, EL1, EL2, Y)

Pwoe
this name was commonly given to Quarren males, and meant "gifted". (GCG)

PX-10
Nen-Carvon's CAVw PX-10 compact assault vehicle. (ISB)

PX-4
Nen-Carvon's mobile command base, this tread-driven armorer hulk provides field commanders with transport, protection, and a mobile headquarters that moves with his troops. These heavily-armored tanks are also sometimes used by Imperial governors on hostile worlds. For all their impressive protective measures, the PX-4 is only armed with a single heavy laser cannon. (ISB)

PX-7
this hand-held heat sensor was produced by ChandrilTech. (GFT)

PX-7
this treaded personnel vehicle was produced by Nen-Carvon during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Measuring just over 13 meters in length, the PX-7 required a pilot and gunner to operate, and could carry up to six troops and 100 metric tons of cargo. It was armed with a twin light blaster cannon. (GMR5)

PY-6
this was Arakyd's ground-to-orbit proton torpedo launcher. It was effective at pummeling an orbiting ship with torpedoes, but was hard to move and difficult to conceal. (HAS)

Pyash Yopayomba
this female Quara Aqualish was known as the Pirate Queen of Ando during the height of the New Order, a title she earned by raiding all manner of ocean-going vessels during her career. Dressed from head to toe in black clothing and armor, Pyash was a formidable figure even before she entered a fight. When the battle started to turn against her pirates, Pyash joined the fighting with her long vibroblade, cutting down her victims with great skill and little remorse. Her pirate vessel was also painted black, and was a modernized version of a traditional sailing vessel. In place of actual sails, the ship had specialized repulsor fins, giving the pirate vessel incredible speed and maneuverability in the water. Among the vessels she captured and refitted for her own use was the Nanda's Luck, which she took after beheading its former Captain, Bipopa Bogzider. She then removed the mineral-fish shells from her hold and filled the vessel with explosives. Her plan was to have Sissalik sail the Nanda's Luck into the Quantill City harbor and detonate it, hoping to pin the explosion and the resulting death and destruction on a group of Aquala radicals. She had been led to believe that the Imperial governor of Ando would pay her handsomely for starting a civil war between the Aquala and the Quara, a war which the Empire could use to fully subjugate the Aqualish. Her plans failed, though, when Sissalik reprogrammed the autopilot on the Nanda's Luck, ramming the ship into Pyash's own flagship, the Majestic. All hands on board, including Pyash herself, were killed in the explosion. (PH)

Pydyr
this moon, the innermost of three which orbited the planet Almania, was a hot, dry world formed from sandstone and other soft rocks. Its constantly changing landscape forced its inhabitants to become highly adaptable. Meager oceans provided only enough moisture to allow plants and animals to survive, but they were home to the microscopic seafah, whose shells were valued as gemstones. The natives of Pydyr built grand cities of sandstone studded with seafah shells, which were constantly being rebuilt due to the harsh environment's continual erosion of the soft material. The Pydyrians became wealthy harvesting seafah shells and developing medical unguents and salves, and were the creators of the healing stick. As a result this wealth, the Almanians became intensely jealous of the Pydyrians. A centuries-old grudge evolved, but was finally laid to rest by the evil machinations of Dolph. Dolph sent his specially-armed droids to Pydyrian sources, and detonated them all. He killed 1,651,305 Pydyrians, leaving a thousand prisoners for him to torture when he came to survey the destruction himself. (TNR, EGP)

Pydyrian
this race of tall, thin humanoids was native to the moon of Pydyr. These beings had two-toed feet and three-fingered hands, and their bone structure was very thin. Because of their skeletal structure, many xenoarchaeologists believed that the Pydyrians eveolved from flightless birds. Their oblate skulls were bald at the top, but ringed with a fringe of hair at the base of the skull. All but 1,000 Pydyrians were slaughtered by Dolph when he rose to power, with the survivors being tortured for Dolph's own pleasure. (EGP, TNR, EGA)

Pydyrian
this was the native language of the Pydyrian people. (EGP)

Pyesmev
this Rendili StarDrive Light Corvette was actually a knockoff built in a backwater shadowport and purchased by Venslas Beeli. The ship was off poor quality compared to the original corvette, and was under constant modification. It was armed with six double turbolaser cannons. (FOP)

Pygmy Hummer
this was a species of tiny, avian creature that was popular throughout the galaxy. (RCHC)

Pyjam
this man, a native of Corellia, was a noted expert in protective clothing and armor. (GUN)

Pyjridi
Lando Calrissian once knew a pickpocket from this world. (BTS)

Pylat Bird
native to the mountain regions of the planet Neimoidia, this beautiful bird was prized for its white plumage and its soothing song. The wings of the pylat doubled as arms, and the first joint was tipped with a four-fingered "hand." The pylat was often maintained as a pet by the wealthier beings of the galaxy. (WSW)

Pylokam
this given name was common human males across the galaxy. (GCG)

Pylokam
an aged human who ran Pylokam's Health Food in Mos Eisley during the last years Luke Skywalker lived on Tatooine. Pylokam did a poor business, as none of the smugglers or bounty hunters cared for his healthy foods. The health food business was so poor that even Jabba the Hutt didn't demand a percentage of Pylokam's intake. (TME)

Pylum
this sour-faced man was the Master of Cerements for the living dead on the planet Necropolis, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. It was his job to ensure that the Curse of Sycorax was not invoked whenever the Necropolitans ignored their dead. When Doctor Evazan successfully reanimated the dead bodied in Necropolis' cemetary, Pylum revealed that he had been working with Evazan all along. Evazan had realized the benefit of having the Master of Cerements under his control, thereby being able to use the ancient superstitions about the dead to cover his experiments with bringing dead bodies back to life. Pylum had been disgruntled with the taunts and jeers he received for his belief in the ancient traditions, and had broken into the Crypt of the Ancients to see if they were true. He found that Sycorax's coffin wasn't filled with a witch's body, ready to exact revenge, but a simple old skeleton wrapped in rags. His own beliefs were shattered, and he decided to join Evazan and earn a portion of te credits the zombie experiments would bring. However, when Boba Fett returned to capture Evazan, Pylum fled the scene and tried to escape. He was killed as he tried to exit the Crypt of the Ancients when one of the crypt's heavy doors fell on him and crushed him. (GOF2)
