AT-69/C
see Aurek Trill 69/Cresh (JT)

ATA Pulse-wave Blaster
this hand-held, pulse-wave weapon was produced by Greff-Timms Industrial some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. What the ATA lacked in range it made up for in destructive capability, although it lacked a stun setting. (TOJC, AEG)

AT-AA
this was the Imperial All-Terrain Anti-Aircraft vehicle. Similar in many respects to the AT-AT walker, the AT-AA moved on four legs. However, its stance was very low to the ground, like a huge lizard. A heavy flak pod sat atop the main section, for use against enemy aircraft. (FC)

Atali
this man served as the First Officer aboard the Mathayus, serving the Empire under the command of Admiral Coy. Atali was quick to ally himself with Darth Vader, when Emperor Palpatine dispacthed the Mathayus to Dargulli to track down a possible Jedi Knight. When a distress signal came from an Alliance base near Yorn Skot, Vader allowed Admiral Coy to take his ship and intercept the rebels. Unfortunately for Coy, the Alliance had laid a trap for the Imperials. The ship which was intercepted by the Mathayus was a decoy, laden with explosives that were set to go off should the ship's hull be breached. First Officer Atali sent with a team of stormtroopers to open the ship up, which set off the explosives and badly damaged the Mathayus's hangar bay. Atali and his team were killed in the explosion. (SWI62, SWEB)

Atanna, Gabrial
this man was the Imperial Senator from the planet Esseles, until the Emperor dissolved the Senate just before the Battle of Yavin. Senator Atanna was replaced by Moff Jander Graffe, and Atanna went into hiding. The Alliance launched an effort to rescue him, since Senator Atanna had been a spy for the Alliance during his tenure. Atanna and his entire family were moved to an Alliance safeworld. (SWJ3, SWJ7)

AT-AP
this small walker, known officially as the All-Terrain Attack Pod, was developed for the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. The AT-AP was essentially a larger version of the AT-PT, with room for a gunner in addition to the operations station of the pilot. It moved about on two heavy legs, and the clamshell cockpit was completely enclosed. A heavy laser cannon was mounted on the nose, and a turret-mounted blaster cannon sat atop the AT-AP. A fifty-round projectile launcher was also part of the vehicle's armament. To provide a more stable platform for firing laser cannon, the AT-AP was equipped with a retractable third leg that dropped down from the front of the walker. This third leg could only be deployed while the AT-AP was stationary, but was required for firing the laser cannon. (TCG10, VD3, SWDB, WOTC)

Atapap One
this planet was settled by Duros explorers during the early centuries of the Old Republic. (GMR2)

AT-AR
this variant on the Imperial AT-ST was known as the All-Terrain Advance Raider. The main cockpit was held lower than on an AT-ST, giving the AT-AR a more hunched appearance. The AT-AT was also faster than an AT-ST, and had better armor. (IWST)

Ataria City
this was the capital city of the planet Spira, located on the northeast coast of Ataria Island. (SWJ1)

Ataria Island
this island, located in the oceans of Spira, is the site of the planet's major spaceport and resorts. The island is formed on the north and west by spectacular cliffs, and by luxurious beachs on the east and south. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, the Empire maintained a small garrison on the island. (SWJ1)

Ataro
this was one of the older forms of lightsaber combat practiced by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. Practitioners used a two-handed defensive stance when facing an opponent, providing the Jedi with a balanced position from which to defend themselves. Once engaged, a Jedi using the Ataro form moved about with great athleticism, leaping into acrobatic movements to confuse and out-position their opponent. (LEV, E3N)

Ataru
this was the ancient term used to describe the Form IV lightsaber fighting style. (SWI68)

Atarul, Cammel
this Imperial investigator worked on the planet Tinnel IV during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Investigator Atarul was dispatched to Moff Jerjerrod's personal estate, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, when the estate was robbed by the Tombat. (SWJ6)

AT-AT
this was the designation of the Imperial All-Terrain Armored Transport vehicle, an elephantine assault tank built at the Kuat Drive Yards. These 15-meter-tall machines lumbered around on four articulated legs. Note that Inside the Worlds of the Star Wars Trilogy indicates that an AT-AT stood 22.5 meters tall. They required a crew of three to operate, although much of the war machine's motion was controlled by sophisticated artificial intelligence. The AT-AT could carry up to 40 troops and 400 kilograms of cargo. Armed with two fire-linked heavy laser cannons and two fire-linked medium blasters on its head-like cockpit, the AT-AT was designed to inspire fear in the enemies of the Empire. General Veers was a proponent of the AT-AT, and purposely overlooked the fact that the AT-AT could be toppled by a cable wrapped around its legs. Although this weakness was used effectively by the Alliance on Hoth, the Empire continued to use the AT-AT to instill fear. (ESB, DFRSB, TME, IWST)

AT-AT Barge
this Imperial ship was designed to carry a fully-outfitted AT-AT walker from its berth on a Star Destroyer to the surface of a planet. It was similar in shape to the MTT assault craft employed by the Trade Federation. (FC)

AT-AT Swimmer
a version of the Imperial walker that was used in aquatic environments, the All-Terrain Aquatic Transport was designed with the main section of the body expanded and flattened out in order to accommodate the addition of repulsor engines that helped keep it afloat. The Swimmer was heavily armored and protected from the effects of salt and water, and resembled a huge turtle. It required a crew of five, and could transport up to 40 troops and 600 kilograms of cargo. It was armed with a pair of modified heavy laser cannons which could fire underwater, and a pair of medium blasters. (GG9, SWI81)

Atawar
a Ripoblus escort shuttle used during the Sepan Civil War, as well as in battle against the Empire. (TIE)

At-Computer Link
this device, manufactured by Crozo Industrial Products, allows a cyborg to use a comlink connection to a mainframe computer in the immediate area. The range is about 1,000 meters unless a relay link is established. (CFG)

At-cyb Husher
this small, self-contained communications implant was developed by Crozo Industrial Products. Designed to be surgically implaneted near the user's larynx, the At-cyb Husher allowed the user to subvocalize their messages by manipulating their tongue and jaw muscles. These movements were converted into communications signals and sent to a receiver, which then produced the equivalent of speech. (EGW)

Aterph
this Devaronian once stopped at the Farrimmer Café, claiming that he had left his nagging wife and needed a drink to calm his nerves. He was later wanted by the Mynock 7 Space Station authorities for questioning, as it was believed he was a bomber and an assassin. A group of mercenaries discovered that Aterph had hidden bombs in several locations throughout the station, including the Farrimmer. (SWJ11)

Atgar SpaceDefense Corporation
manufacturers of cost-effective, low-powered anti-vehicle weapons and defense systems. (RPG, ISB, SWDB)

Ath
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)

Ath
this archaic name was given to female Zabrak, and referred to the being in Zabrak mythology who welcomed Zabrak into the afterlife. (GCG)

Ath
this figure was from the Zabrak mythology. Together with her sister, Nath, Ath welcomed dead Zabrak into the afterlife. (GCG)

Athakam II Med Unit
developed by Athakam Medtech, this device was sometimes referred to as a medbed. Equipped with a repulsorlift engine, the Med Unit could transport a being while diagnosing and, if possible, administering treatment for a variety of injuries and illnesses. The Med Unit could transport the injured being to a hospital with a simple push. A 2-1B medical droid could also access the Med Unit, further enhancing its diagnostic capability. (GFT)

Athakam MedTech
this bio-technology company worked closely with Rhinnal State Medical Academy, and developed a number of medical tools like bioscan units. Although much of the company's work was meant to save lives, there were several experiments into the development of chemical weapons. These proved too costly to continue, and Athakam returned to its pacifistic roots. During the Galactic Civil War, Athakam remained outwardly neutral, although its leadership secretly provided medical supplies to Leia Organa and the Alliance. (SESB, EGW, NEGW)

Athallian Messenger
this legendary courier ship crashed in the Tatooine desert some forty years before the Battle of Yavin. Sandstorms were supposed to have erased any remnant of the ship, including a treasure trove of gemstones hidden in its holds. Many treasure-hunters disappeared while trying to locate it, and it was said that even the Jawas wouldn't go near the place where it supposedly crashed. (SWG9)

AT-HE
this All-Terrain Heavy Enforcer walker was produced during the build-up to the Clone Wars, as a complement to the AT-TE. (X2)

Athega System
this remote star system was devoid of planets capable of sustaining life, but worlds such as Nkllon proved to be invaluable sources of metals. (HTTE, TLC)

Atheloe
this was a name which was common among members of the Lutrillian race. (GORW)

Ather
a manufacturing world known for its assembled computer components. (GMH)

Athiss
this world, the second planet of the Loro Babis System, was where the ancient Jedi Master Chamma first encountered the Dark Side of the Force. (TOJC)

AthleticGal
this was one of the galaxy's largest producers of swimwear for females of all species, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN4)

Atiang
this Rodian award was given to bounty hunters of the Goa-Ato in a variety of categories, such as Best Shot and Most Notorious Capture. (SPG)

AT-IC
this was the designation of an unusual walker created by the Empire, known as the All-Terrain Ion Cannon walker. These were essentially walking ion cannon platforms, with all cargo space dedicated to the weapon and its systems. (NEGW)

Atin
this was the Mandalorian word for "stubborn," coming from the verb atiniir. Because of its origins, atin was considered a compliment, not an insult. (RCHC, OWS)

Atin
this was the name used by clone commando RC-3222. In the Mandalorian language, the word atin meant stubborn, and RC-3222 lived up to this name. He was one of the many commandos who was dispatched to Geonosis during the opening battle of the Clone Wars. He was also one of the handful of commandos who saw the rest of his team killed in battle. Unfortunately, on his second mission, Atin was once again the sole survivor. Atin held a great deal of anger and personal responsibility for the deaths of so many others, despite the fact that he himself only barely survived the fighting. He was constantly reminded of their deaths by a horrible scar that ran across his face, and he refused to have it treated so that he would not forget them. This deep-seated emotion made it hard for Atin to fit in with the other commandos who were put together to form Omega Squad. Another difference was in his training, as Atin was the only member of Omega Squad to train under Walon Vau. Atin's natural skill was with weapons of any sort, and he often chose unusual weapons for missions, based on the parameters he expected to encounter. During the final stages of the mission to capture Ovolot Qail Uthan, Atin was hit with a blast from a Verpine shatter gun while carrying Uthan's unconscious body to the extraction point. The blast splattered against his armor and caused a large amount of damage, but Atin and Uthan both ultimately survived. (RCHC)

Atin Attan
this Sullustan female was one of the eight members of the Twilight Class of the Galactic Outdoor Survival School who became part of the Alliance's Eclipse Team. She excelled in the field of geology, and was also a skilled pilot. After graduating from GOSS, she served the Alliance as a pilot instructor in the Roche Asteroid Field, and was part of the team which developed the B-Wing. (AIR)

Atiniir
this was the Mandalorian verb for "to endure" or "to tough it out." Unlike its connotation in Basic, atiniir was a complimentary verb in the Mando'a language, steeped in admiration for one's perseverence. (OWS)

ATL
this Air-To-Land vehicle was similar in shape to the cockpit of a Y-Wing bomber, but had a pair of retractable landing foils on either side. (DCAR)

Atlatl
this was the traditional Gungan throwing stick, a weapon developed to fling small energy balls at an enemy in battle. Although the range of the atlatl is much less than the cesta, the atlatl is much more accurate. (IG1)

Atloran
the third planet in the Panto System, Atloran is a lifeless sphere that has nonetheless been used for recreation. It is known for its zero-gravity campgrounds and amusement parks. (DFRSB)

Atmo-analyzer
this was one of the many life-support systems found on most starfighters, during the early years of the New Order. The atmo-analyzer regularly monitored the air in the ship's cabin, testing it to make sure it was safe to breathe. These devices were important on small fighters, because they were only able to contain a small volume of air, which had to be constantly scrubbed and recycled in order to be breathable by the pilot. The atmo-analyzer alerted a pilot to potential problems, especially when the main scrubbers failed or leaked harmful chemicals. (LCS)

Atmosphere Containment Field
an field-projecting device which generates an impenetrable energy field used to keep an atmosphere on only one side of the field. They can be used on space stations or capital ships to keep the atmosphere inside the docking bays until the starfighters need to launch. They can conversely be used to keep a hostile planet's storms and harsh weather out of a building. (SW, COTF)

Atmosphere Flyer
a generic term for any low-altitude repulsorcraft, such as the T-16 skyhopper. (CSW)

Atmostide
this is the name given to any atmospheric storm caused on planets which have little or no natural water. (POT)

Ato, Hadis
this man, a native of the planet Curulag, was a member of the first class ever to pass through the Corulag Academy. After his graduation, Ato served as a sniper and bodyguard in the Imperial Army before being transferred back to Corulag. He was assigned to monitor the activities of the Corulag Academy, secretly ferreting out any support or sympathy for the Alliance. (CCW)

Atom, The
see Force Multiple Orbit (SWED)

Atomic Drive
an out-dated form of ion drive, the atomic drive was replaced by the Hoersch-Kessel Ion Drive. These drives use a fission reactor to generate electromagnetic waves that reflect off the space-time fabric of realspace, creating momentum. They are extremely radioactive, and must be stored in a pod that is kept away from the living and working areas of the rest of the ship. (SWSB)

Atomic Reactor
an out-dated form of power converter, the atomic reactor has been replaced by the fusion reactor. It employed atomic fission to generate energy, which in turn generated large amounts of heat and radiation. This made them very dangerous to use. (SWSB)

Ator
this planet was located in the Core Worlds. (VD2)

Atori, Otias
this native of Trulalis was Adalric Brandl's mentor. Otias was a famous theatrical actor before becoming a director and acting teacher. He was unable to keep Brandl from answering Palpatine's call to become a Dark Jedi, and strove to save Adalric's young son, Jaalib, from a similar fate. Otias reprimanded Brandl when he returned to Trulalis some twelve years later, although Brandl hoped that he could assist in returning to the light side of the Force. (TFE, SWJ8)

AT-OT
ths All-Terrain Open Transport was one of the first troop-carrying walker designs produced by Kuat Drive Yards, and it was the first that was specifically designed as a transport, rather than an assault vehicle (such as the AT-AT). The 14.3-meter-long AT-OT moved about on eight legs, and could accommodate up to thirty-four clone troopers in its open, flatbed body. More troopers could be piled onto the flatbed if needed, but the added weight sometimes caused problems with the vehicle's movement. The AT-OT stood sopme 5.8 meters in height, which offered some protection for the troopers riding atop it. Although designed purely as a transport, the AT-OT was armed with four laser cannons. (SWDB)

AT-PT
this was Kuat Drive Yards' All-Terrain Personal Transport vehicle, built from plans and designs originally developed by Rothan Heavy Engineering. A squat, single-pilot transport which was developed about the time of the Katana fleet but which was never mass-produced, it was similar to the AT-ST, only smaller in stature. It was armed with a twin blaster cannon and a concussion grenade launcher. The AT-PT measured four meters in length and stood three meters tall, and could accommodate up to 150 kilograms of cargo. The primary mission of the AT-PT was to give an individual all the firepower of an assault vehicle, while remaining extremely maneuverable and fast. Because the New Order was implemented before the AT-PT could be put into production, it never became available to the civilian market. The Empire later rejected the AT-PT in favor of the larger AT-ST. (DFR, DFRSB, AEG, NEGV)

AT-PV
this was the short name for Slythor the Squib's All-Terrain Pleasure Vehicle known as the Peeve. It was a salvaged Imperial AT-AT walker, with the legs removed and replaced with four repulsorlift engines. (OE)

ATR
KonGar Ship Works' Assault Transport ship, the ATR measures 45 meters in length. Rated at 65 MGLT, these ships were larger and better-armed versions of the original stormtrooper transports built by Telgorn Corporation. The hull of the ATR is rated at 50 RU. Each ATR is equipped with the following shipboard components:

• 4 Taim & Bak H6 Turbolasers
• 2 ArMek SW-3 Ion Cannons
• 2 Krupx MG7 Proton Torpedo Launchers (4 torpedoes each)
• Front/Rear Projection shields (100 SBD)
