K'Sheek
this was the name of a Tusken Raider individual. (UANT)

Kshirrup
this creature, once native to the ancient world of Yuuzhan'tar, was a poisonous beast that was known for its tendency to invade another kshirrup's den and kill it, taking the new den for its own. (FH3)

Kshyy
this was the name of a species of strong vines that were native to the fifth biological level of the jungles found on the planet Kashyyyk. The Wookiee population discovered that these vines had an incredibly high tensile strength, and were more durable than many composite cables. Thus, kshyy vines were used by Wookiees to operate liftcars and to climb trees. (HTTE, RD)

Ksiczzic III
this planet is located in the Mid Rim. (SWJ6)

Ks'irasic
this was the Nikto name for the Basin of Torturous Flame. (GORW)

K'snell
this creature, bred by the Yuuzhan Vong, had a shell that could be used for a variety of applications. The shell of the k'snell was hard and durable, and could be grown into vases or other containers. (FH2)

Ksstarr
this Yuuzhan Vong frigate was dispatched to transport Nom Anor and Vergere to the Baanu Rass, in orbit near Myrkr, to ensure that the Jedi Knights aboard the Exquisite Death were captured. Unfortunately for the Yuuzhan Vong, Jaina Solo and the surviving Jedi were able to capture the shuttle and use it as their escape ship. They managed to reach Coruscant, but discovered that the planet had already fallen to the Yuuzhan Vong. After assisting in the escape of the Millennium Falcon and her parents, Jaina took the Ksstarr on a short, blind jump into hyperspace. Unfortunately for the fleeing Jedi, the frigate was dying, and needed to be maintained. They chose to take the ship to Hapes in order to recover. After receiving a villip-based communication from the priest Harrar, Jaina Solo chose to rename the frigate as the Trickster. (SBS, DJ)

KT-10
this pink R2 unit had been given a female personality during the early years of the New Order. She fell in love with R2-D2 when they were imprisoned in the Great Heep's droid harem on Biitu. (TGH, SWDB)

KT-18
known as Kate for short, this housekeeping droid was purchased by Luke Skywalker and Ken as a gift to Han Solo. Purchased from the Jawas on Tatooine, Kate was given to Han as a housewarming present. She has a pearlescent outer shell, and is built to resemble a human female is size and shape. (ZHR)

KT4
Taim & Bak laser cannons, similar to those used on the Dx-9 Delta-class transport. (XW)

KT6
Taim & Bak heavy blaster cannons, similar to those used on the Telgorn Gamma-class assault shuttle. (ISB)

Ktah
this was a Chiss swear word. Because the Chiss rarely showed any sort of emotion, the use of such words was reserved for intense or unusual situations. (FH2)

K'taktaxka
this gas giant is located in the Expansion region. The Alliance sent operatives to this planet to scout out reserves of tibanna gas, following the Battle of Hoth. (SWJ5)

K'tara
this was a style of hand-to-hand martial arts studied by the Alliance's Special Forces division. The emphasis of the K'tara style was the maximization of damage to the opponent while minimizing the amount of noise created by the attack. Thus, much of the K'tara martial art was focused on short, quick motions. Alliance agents trained in the use of the K'tara arts could disarm an opponent and render them unconscious in a few swift motions, therby attracting as little attention as possible. (ROE, HG)

K'thri Arts
this ancient style of martial arts emphasized unarmed combat. Those beings who understood and practiced the K'thri Arts marked themselves with specialized facial tattoos. Practitioners of the K'trhi Arts focused their movements on speed and fluidity, with sweeping motions that counterpointed quick jabs and fancy footwork. For many decades during the height of the Old Republic, the K'thri style of combat was relegated to a form of sport, because its flowing, fast-paced motions lent themselves as well to entertainment as to combat. (TTSB, LFCW, HG)

Kthysh
this vine grew in the jungles of the planet Kashyyyk. Its strands were incredibly strong and durable, and were used by Wookiees to form the bowstrings for their bowcasters. (EGW)

Ktilac Regions
this area of Imperial space was sparsely populated by humankind during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It was believed that the Old Republic Dreadnaught Noble was lost in this region of space. (AIR)

Ktlin
this was the name given by Mlatar Thon Gra to his personal mosgoth. (AIR)

KTR-44875

Ktriss
Bogga the Hutt's Dark Side familiar, Ktriss is a large, green Hssiss mutated by the Dark Side power of Lake Natth on Ambria. (TOJ)

Kua
this female Tarasin was a member of The Wyrd during the Clone Wars. Kua was distinguished by her proficiency with all manner of weapons, from primitive cudgels to modern blasters. (LFCW)

Ku'amar
this Twi'lek was the leader of the headclan which ruled Kala'uun during the height of the New Order. He gained the position through guile and trickery, despite the accusations of his cousin, Tur'eb Cholakk. (SWJ2, PSPG)

Ku'amar
this Twi'lek clan owned a large ryll mine on their homeworld of Ryloth, during the height of the New Order. The clan decided to announce that it would sell off portions of its operations, which spread from Ryloth to Roon, although it never intended to go through with the sale. Instead, the leaders of the Ku'amar clan hoped to eliminate their rivals in one act of violence. They agreed to hold the negotiations in a neutral location, and sent a "suicide emissary" to the meeting. Once there, the emissary set off the bombs he was carrying, killing himself and the other leaders. (GORW)

Kuan
one of two habitable planets in the Taroon System, Kuan was invaded by the Empire just before the Battle of Hoth. Kuan and its sister planet, Bordal, had been locked in a bitter, decades-old war, although no one remembered the exact cause. The Kuan economy was in ruins, and the planetary government had declared martial law. The Empire, seeing an opportunity, entered the system to bring news of Palpatine's removal of the supposed dead wood of the Old Republic. The Empire blamed the planet's economic crisis on the Old Republic, and swayed the Kuani to join the Empire. The planet's primary inhabitants are human. The planet has many moons. (TIE)

Kuantar
this gas giant is the third world in the Kidron System, located in the Elrood Sector. It is surrounded by a spectacular ring system, and had 22 natural satellites. (PG3)

Kuar
this planet was the primary world in the Kuar System, which was located near the Empress Teta System. This world was conquered by the ancient Mandalorian warriors when they attacked the Tetan worlds prior to the Great Sith War, and the Mandalorians established a gladiatorial combat training center on the planet. It was here, millenia later, that Fonterrat provided Bornan Thul with a datadisk containing the location of the Emperor's plague storehouse. (TSW, TEP, SWI80)

Kuaran
this alien race was once native to the planet Kuar, until they were exterminated by the ancient Mandalorian Crusaders. (SWI80)

Kuari Princess
this Mon Calamari MC80 luxury spaceliner was known for its slafcourses, which were famous throughout the galaxy. The Kuari Princess was the flagship of Galaxy Tours, and had accommodations for up to 3,500 passengers of 27 unique species. It measured 500 meters in length, and was manned by 840 crewers, 500 droids, and 60 security officers. It was lightly armed, with 10 turbolaser batteries. The Kuari Princess had a long and storied history, including one trip through the Maelstrom in which it was hijacked by the Riders of the Maelstrom as part of a plot to destroy Rodin Higron's base on the planet Oasis. It was even believed that the droid bounty hunter 4-LOM was once a valet and human-relations droid who served aboard the ship. (RPG, RM, GG3)

Kuari Princess II
this was the sister ship to the original Kuari Princess. (GUN)

Kuari Suites
one of the most luxurious accommodations on the Kuari Princess, the Kuari Suites can be reserved for about a 1,000 credits a night. (RM)

Kuat
this planet was of prime importance to the New Order, for the Kuat Drive Yards shipyards there were among the first to mass-produce warships for the Empire. It was originally settled around the same time as the formation of the Old Republic, some 25,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, by a group of merchant families who hoped to form the most influential ship-building operation in the galaxy. They terraformed the planet and developed it into a temperate world which was devoid of predators, then began creating vast orbital shipyards. In spite of opposition from the trade consortiums of the age, the family managed to create the Kuat Drive Yards. The relationship between Kuat and the Empire was formed during the early days of the New Order, and blossomed when the Kuat Drive Yards were made into the primary facility for the construction of Star Destroyers. A forested world of pastoral beauty, Kuat was one of four planets located in the Kuat Sector, located in the most densely-populated area of the galaxy. The planet was orbited by three immense space stations, built by the Empire to manage traffic in and out of the system. The Kuat Passenger Port was dedicated to civilian and tourist traffic. The Kuat Freight Port was dedicated to the transport of goods to and from Kuat. The third station was strictly for use by the Imperial military,and controlled all access to the surface of Kuat. During the Clone Wars, the proximity of Kuat to Neimoidia - separated by less than six parsecs - put the two worlds into direct competition. Kuati officials tried to infiltrate Neimoidian facilities by sending in modified worker droids with concealed spyware, but Neimoidian paranoia had placed safeguards around their all their technologies. (SWSB, XWN, MA, PSPG, EGP, SWI68, CCW)

Kuat
this was the name of the strongest of the many family clans which ruled the planet Kuat. Like all Kuati families, they continued to enhance their bloodlines by using telbuns to birth their children. However, the Kuat family maintained a strong genetic structure, and proved themselves more than able to manage the huge Kuat Drive Yards. Several generations prior to the Battle of Yavin, all the great families agreed on the Inheritance Exemption, which allowed the Kuat family to pass control of KDY down through successive generations. This was challenged by several families just prior to the Battle of Endor, a coup attempt which was successfully averted by Kuat of Kuat only by nearly destroying the KDY facilities. (MA, SLS, HM)

Kuat
this descendant of the ancient Kuat family controlled the vast Kuat Drive Yards during the last years of the Old Republic and throughout the New Order. Although never truly appreciated, Kuat of Kuat worked diligently to maintain the independence of KDY in the face of Emperor Palpatine's growing power. He fiercely refused to be part of the first Death Star project, an action denounced by the ruling families of Kuat until the station was destroyed near Yavin. Unknown to most of the Kuati clans until the end of the New Order, Kuat even tried to eliminate Prince Xizor of Black Sun, when the Falleen began trying to take control of the shipyards. The plot involved implicating Xizor in the deaths of Owen and Beru Lars on Tatooine, an event which Kuat recorded and later added traces of Falleen pheromones to an olfactory sensor. If the plan worked, Luke Skywalker would break off his involvement with the Alliance long enough to eliminate Xizor, thereby removing one of Kuat's chief enemies. The plot never got a chance to succeed, because the droid containing the falsified evidence was lost by its courier, Ree Duptom, when his ship's engines failed. The droid fell into the hands of Boba Fett, and Kuat found himself trying to kill the bounty hunter in order to recover the droid. Several attempts were made, including a bombing run in the Tatooine desert near the Sarlacc pit, to ensure Fett's death. These efforts didn't go unnoticed, though, as several of the other Kuati families took them as personal vendettas and signs that Kuat was no longer working in KDY's best interests. The family's plotting eventually took in Kuat's security chief, Fenald, and his replacement, Kodir of Kuhlvult. Through it all, however, Kuat maintained the upper hand. In the end, he was forced to destroy the KDY facilities, rather than let them fall into the hands of anyone else. In this, too, Kuat was thwarted by the efforts of the Alliance and Boba Fett himself. The bounty hunter managed to flee the destruction in a slaved Star Destroyer, taking with him most of the explosives Kuat had hoped to use. In the end, Kuat returned to the main facilities and was killed in the explosions he himself had set off. (MA, SLS, HM)

Kuat
this star was the central body of the Kuat System. (CCW)

Kuat Central Authority
this was the security force which controlled the movement of starships to and from the Kuat Drive Yards facilities in orbit near the planet Kuat. It also controlled the traffic destined to the planet itself. (IF)

Kuat City
this was one of the largest cities on the planet Kuat, and it served as the primary debarkation point for any being - Kuati or otherwise - who landed on the planet's surface. Offworlders were forced to wade through piles of regulations and costly permits in order to leave the city. (HT, CCW)

Kuat Commerce Council
this governmental agency was responsible for establishing, maintaining, and growing all forms of business which took place on Kuat or within the Kuat System. (PSPG)

Kuat Drive Yards
KDY was one of the top three starship manufacturers in the galaxy, along with the Corellian Engineering Corporation and Sienar Fleet Systems. KDY was controlled by the ruling families of the planet Kuat, with each new ruler being chosen from among the most competent in a vote. However, it was determined that the Kuat family had the most aptitude for running the huge corporation, and the ruling families established the Inheritance Exemption. This allowed control of KDY to pass from one generation of the Kuat family to the next, thereby ensuring that the most able of the Kuat minds was continually in control of the corporation. This meant that KDY was always generating vast amounts of wealth for all the ruling families. Kuat Drive Yards remained independent from any governmental body, from the time of its inception during the Old Republic throughout the New Order of Emperor Palpatine. It was perhaps most famous for its production of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer. It also produced many shipboard components, as well as the Nebulon-B frigate. KDY began experimenting with the development of massive starships shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, then aligned itself with the Empire, and remained pro-Imperial after the Battle of Endor. During the last decades of the Old Republic, KDY was part of the Trade Federation. However, during the Eriadu Conference, the Neimoidians staged their bloody takeover of the Federation, killing several top Kuati officials. It was then than KDY severed all ties with the Federation and provided its knowledge and facilities to the Old Republic. KDY was also one of the original Signatory Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. Unknown to most buyers, every ship which left Kuat Drive Yards was given a regulator subcode in its computer system. This trapdoor allowed Kuat Drive Yards engineers to obtain control of a ship for diagnostics and repairs. These codes could also be used to break into a ship and take control from its user. This fact was never revealed, in part to save KDY from the wrath of Emperor Palpatine. During the last days of the New Order, shortly before the Battle of Endor, much of Kuat Drive Yards was destroyed by Kuat of Kuat. He hoped to ensure that no one - not the Empire, the Alliance, or Kodir of Kuhlvult - would take control of the operation. He acted nobly, but was unaware of the forces around him. In fact, the bounty hunter Boba Fett was his greatest ally, and helped expose Kodir's treacherous plans. The future leaders of KDY maintained Kuat of Kuat's series of explosives, which could be detonated if the facilities ever were in danger of being captured. (JS, SCRE, EGV, CSA, MA, SLS, HM, IF, NEGW)

Kuat Escort Frigate
see Nebulon-B Frigate (DFR)

Kuat Explorer
this ancient colony ship predated the Old Republic, and brought the first colonists to the planet Alsakan. (CSA)

Kuat Freight Port
a division of Kuat Drive Yards, the Freight Port handled all incoming shipments of raw materials as well as movement of materials within the Drive Yards. Despite its name, the port was actually located some distance from Kuat, on the edge of the Inner Kuat Transfer Zone, in order to protect the planet itself from being deluged with traffic. (SWJ9, PSPG)

Kuat Leisure
a subsidiary of Kuat Drive Yards, Kuat Leisure produced a number of pleasure starships during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SWI66)

Kuat Passenger Port
this was the Kuat orbital spaceport which handled passenger traffic. Like the Kuat Freight Port, the Passenger Port was located some distance from Kuat itself on the edge of the Inner Kuat Transfer Zone. The Port was made up of five domes, with four of the domes designed for docking and the central dome for a hub. One outer dome served those passengers traveling to or from worlds outside the Core. Another served those travelers heading to or from Core worlds. Another dome served Imperial installations, while the fourth dome was for passengers heading to ro from Kuat itself. (PSPG)

Kuat Photonics
this privately-held corporation was based on the planet Kuat during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Several ships being used to ferry supplies to the Peace Brigade were traced by Talon Karrde back to Kuat Photonics, but there was no way to implicate anyone specifically in the supplying of the ships. Han Solo had hoped to find Viqi Shesh among the corporate owners, but there was no evidence to that effect. (EVR)

Kuat Sector
this area of the galaxy's Core contained the planet Kuat. (CCW)

Kuat Systems Engineering
KSE was a short-lived subsidiary of Kuat Drive Yards created in the waning days of the Old Republic. It produced a few well-designed but poorly marketed starships, including the CloakShape fighter and the Firespray-class attack ship. The lack of sales eventually led to KSE being re-integrated under the KDY banner as an after-market upgrade kit manufacturer. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, KSE was sold off to a group of Imperial loyalists. It was later revealed that the loyalists were really Vaathkree merchants with strong ties to the New Republic. The Dark Empire Sourcebook says that KSE was the forerunner of KDY was charged with developing new starfighters for the Empire. One of their first starships was the CloakShape Fighter. (MTS, DESB, EGV)

Kuat Vehicles
this small branch of Kuat Drive Yards manufactured terrestrial transportation, such as swoops. (GG9)

Kuat Vonak
this small corporation produced several versions of laser cannons for light to medium duty. (OE)

Kuati
this was the term used to describe the human inhabitants of the planet Kuat. True Kuati could trace their family roots back to the ten merchant families who first terraformed the planet, more than 25,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Note that The Cestus Deception indicates that Kuati had emerald eyes and were covered with scales. (CCW, TCD)

Kuati First Holo-News
this sensationalist tabloid had an office on Coruscant, from which is reported on the trial of Tycho Celchu. (KT)

Kuati Security Forces
this was the primary police and security force that protected the planet Kuat and its surrounding system. (CCW)

Ku'Bakai
this blue giant star was the primary sun in the Ku'Bakai system, which contained the planet Kubindi and three other, life-supporting worlds. The Kubaz used the sixth, eighth, and eleventh worlds as insect farms, raising all manner of insects to cater to their every taste. The first four planets in the system were sterile worlds, having been scoured by the intense solar flares given off by the star in a brief series of pulses millennia ago. These flares were well-known to astronomers for their beauty. (SCRE, MTS, GG4, SWJ10, MIS6)

Kubaz
this was another name for the Kubazi language. (MIS6)

Kubaz
an alien race hailing from the planet Kubindi, the Kubaz have dark green skin, a prehensile trunk, and large eyes. Their eyes are sensitive to the red spectrum of light, and often wear large goggles when they are away from their homeworld. They tend to be clan-oriented, with each clan protecting its property from other rival clans. The intense solar flares from their planet's sun nearly destroyed the majority of food sources on the planet, and the Kubaz were forced to hunt insects as a staple diet. This led to the rival clans raiding each others' insect farms. These so-called Hive Wars were resolved when the Kubaz found a way to alter the genetics of their insects to not only improve their reproduction, but to identify each hive by its colorings as property of a certain clan. This newly-formed science of Insecticulture helped keep the rival clans from feuding, and also allowed the Kubaz to expand their horizons. They eventually discovered space travel, and eventually populated three of the 11 worlds orbiting the sun Ku'Bakai. This ability to move off-planet then introduced the Kubaz to their neighbors, the Verpine. Since the Verpine are an insectile race by nature, the space-faring Kubaz found that the Verpine were tasty, and began to hunt them as an additional food source. When the Yuuzhan Vong took control of Kubindi, some twenty-seven years after the Battle of Yavin, they exterminated virtually every insect species which had been cultivated by the Kubaz. This left the surviving population with little or no food, and many Kubaz starved to death because they were unable to consume other types of food. (SW, TLC, SCRE, MTS, GG4, NJOSB)

Kubaz Insect
this small sculpture was carved from a single diamond-fusion crystal about a third of a meter in height. As a gemstone, its value was incalculable. As a work of art, it was priceless. The statue was stolen by the small-time theived Lauren and Sam from the collection of Rock'co on Narigus III, although it was later discovered that Rock'co's statue was a fake. (GMS)

Kubaz Xirconia
this abundant, clear stone is often used as a substitute for real diamonds. (MJEH)

Kubaza
this species of beetle was common on the surface of Mustafar. A species of hive-minded insects, kubaza fed on the minerals and ores that were deposited by the continual flow of lava on the planet's surface. What distinguished the kubaza beetle from other such insects was its ability to explode when killed, a sort of defense mechanism that served to protect future generations from devastation. (SWGAL)

Kubazi
this was the native language of the Kubaz race. (ANT)

Kubazian
this was another name for the native language of the Kubaz race. (FH3)

Kubindi
this planet was the homeworld of the Kubaz, and was the fifth planet orbiting the sun Ku'Bakai. Because Kubindi orbited very close to Ku'Bakai, the frequent solar flares razed the planet's surface, destroying much of the plant and animal life. The primary survivors of the flares were insects, of which there were millions of species on the planet by the time of the Galactic Civil War. Other creatures that managed to survive evolved into insect-eaters, like the Kubaz, which also inhabited the 6th, 8th, and 11th worlds in the Ku'Bakai system. However, it was only the poor or disgraced Kubaz that still clung to existence on Kubindi. Note that Star Wars Missions #6 - The Search for Grubba the Hutt indicates that Kubindi was a thriving world, with green farmland being intermixed with lush, purple jungles and wide rivers. It also explains that Kubindi was only "newly discovered" at the time of the Battle of Yavin. Kubindi was located in the Calaron Sector. The day on Kubindi lasted 48 standard hours, and it year encompassed 420 local days. The planet was overtaken by the Yuuzhan Vong some twenty-seven years after the Battle of Yavin, following the subjugation of Falleen and Rodia. Kyp Durron and his group of vigilantes, Kyp's Dozen, held off the alien invaders long enough for every spaceworthy ship to flee the planet. It was believed that the Kubaz were attractive targets to the Yuuzhan Vong because of their history of genetic manuipulation of insects. However, the Yuuzhan Vong exterminated virtually every insect species cultivated by the Kubaz, and reformed Kubindi for their own needs. Note that this planet is named Kubindin in Secrets of Tatooine. (TLC, SCRE, MTS, REB, SWJ10, BP, SOT, NJOSB, MIS6)

Kubrai-class Transport
this was a Mandalorian transport design, produced in small numbers during the early years of the New Republic. This ship measured twenty meters in length, and could be operated by a single pilot. It could accommodate up to four passengers and thirty-two metric tons of cargo, and could be outfitted with a variety of defensive weapons. (GMR9)

Kucedre
this Gallofree medium transport was used by the Alliance to transport bacta during the Galactic Civil War. (XWA)

Kucha-sculpt
this was a form of Expansionist Era Hutt artwork. (SSR)

Kucheel
this man was a planetary governor during the last decades of the Old Republic. Kucheel was known as a stern leader and a vengeful man. This latter trait was made evident in the way that he placed a bounty on the head of Keezo Stoolie, even after Stoolie had been arrested and sent to the Oovo IV prison facility. (BH)

Kudana
this herding beast was native to the planet Rutan. They were known throughout the galaxy for their bronze, metallic hides, and were hunted by the Rutanians. (SP)

Kud'ar Mub'at
this assembler served the galaxy as a go-between and middleman for much of its less glamourous - or legal - activities. Like most assemblers, Kud'ar Mub'ar gained its independence by consuming the assembler which created it. Among Mub'at's most regarded functions was as holder in escrow of the credits placed for the bounty on a being's life. This allowed the poster of the bounty to remain out of the path of danger, while ensuring the timely and accurate delivery of the goods. The assembler was not without its own defenses, having acquired a number of weapons from the ships of individuals which tried to swindle it. Kud'ar Mub'at also salvaged sublight engines for use in moving its web through space. In essence, any being visiting the web was walking within Kud'ar Mub'at's own brain, and was constantly under surveillance. After the development of the subnode called Balancesheet, Mub'at was able to be in two places at once. He himself would see to one customer, while Balancesheet - operating from one of Mub'at's shed carapaces - would attent to the other. Among the assembler's largest customers was the Bounty Hunters Guild, which used the assembler's services to ensure prompt payments of the bounties its members collected. Kud'ar Mub'at was also involved in a great deal of political and powerful intrigue, including the plans of Kuat of Kuat and Prince Xizor of Black Sun. Together, they orchestrated the destruction of the Bounty Hunters Guild and plotted the death of Boba Fett. It was Kud'ar Mub'at who convinced Boba Fett to join the Guild in order to bring about its destruction. At first, the bounty hunter was unaware of the assembler's alliance with Xizor. However, the state of the galaxy during the Galactic Civil War and the ability of Boba Fett to avoid death made these plans tenuous at best. These plans also kept Mub'at's attention on the outside galaxy, allowing the subnode Balancesheet to gain intelligence and autonomy from its creator. Balancesheet entered an alliance with Xizor, and together they brought about the destruction of Kud'ar Mub'at and its web. Kud'ar pleaded with Boba Fett to take hime away, but Fett declined the offer. The pieces of the web drifted for several years before they were approached by Fett, along with Dengar and Neelah, who hoped to re-animate the assembler and learn more about Kuat's plans. Although the assembler was brought back to life, its memory was damaged and it couldn't provide the information it needed. Balancesheet then returned to its creator and destroyed it utterly, firing laser cannons into the web and incinerating much of it. This seemed to please Mub'at, who wanted the release of true death. (MA, SLS, HM)

Kuda's Compound
this building adjoins The Pits, and was owned by the Herglic Kaylo NaKuda. It was a large garage and vehicle dealership, and could handle just about any repair or modification to a swoop or speederbike. (WSV)

Kudor
a rural province found on the planet Vodran. (SWJ6)

Kudos
this Rodian was a noted pazaak player who lived on the planet Tatooine, some four millennia before the Battle of Yavin. (KOTOR)

Kuega
this was a common, though archaic, female name given to Sullustan females. It referred to a kind of jewelry worn by wealthy Sullustan ladies. (GCG)

Kuega
this form of Sullustan jewelry was worn by only the wealthiest of Sullustan ladies. (GCG)

Kuellar
this ancient Almania military leader served as an army general several centuries before the Galactic Civil War. A human, Kuellar conquered the planet and the Je'Har before taking control of the entire Almanian System and the surrounding sector. Although he was generally regarded as ruthless and deadly, Kuellar was also known as a beloved and respected leader to the Almanian peoples. (TNR)

Kuellar
the pseudonym adopted by the failed Jedi student Dolph, during his attempt to wrest power from Leia Organa-Solo and take control of the New Republic. Dolph assumed the name Kuellar after defeating the Je'Har, and he began using a Hendanyn death mask to cover his face. The mask hung on a silver chain when he wasn't wearing it. (TNR)

Kuep
this man was a tibanna gas miner who later joined the Cloud City Wing Guard. When not on active duty, Kuep maintained a small mining operation to supplement his income. (JKG)

Kuf
this was a common name given to male 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)

Kufbrug
this Gamorrean sow was a member of the Bolgoink clan, and was married to Vrokk. After Vrokk was murdered, Kufbrug brought out a series of parchments which she claimed were love letters from Guth. She produced them as corroborating evidence of Guth's signature on a document which challenged Vrokk to a duel. Vrokk died shortly after reading the document, killed by a poison hidden in the seal used to close it. Callista Ming, however, knew that Guth couldn't sign his own name, let alone write love letters. Despite Callista's obvious friendship with Guth, Kufbrug allowed the human time to seek out Vrokk's killer. Kufbrug later admitted that she liked Guth more than Vrokk, and thought that the two might run away together. (SWJ14)

Kufra Ahara
this female Murachaun served as a starship mechanic for the Sanjin Green Hawks, during the height of the New Order. Her modifications to their starships helped the pirates attack and capture Laakteen Depot, and later helped them run the Imperial blockade of the Yavin System that occurred in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. (GORW)

Kugel, Aldrich
an Imperial officer on Cilpar, following the Battle of Endor. (XWRS)

Kugg
this short-statured, vile Gamorrean served as the planetary Governor of Dodz, during the decade leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Governor Kugg employed a huge assassin droid, known as the Destroyer, as his right-hand man, preferring to keep his own hands clean of the dirty businesses he operated on the side. To keep himself rich and in power, Kugg levied heavy taxes on the citizens of Dodz, destroying their homes and imprisoning them if they couldn't pay. However, when the Destroyer was defeated by an old Ranger X-1 defense droid owned by Jost Ellon, Kugg found himself powerless to maintain his grip on the Citizen's Council. Kugg was quickly arrested and imprisoned for his actions. (MDCAR)

Kuggerag
this was a kind of moderately valuable gemstone. (FOP)

Kuhlvult
this was one of the ruling families of the planet Kuat. (SLS)

Kuhqo
this former Yuuzhan Vong Shaper was among the many Shamed Ones who were forced to live beneath the surface of the planet Coruscant, after it was reshaped into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar. Kuhqo believed the words of the Prophet, Yu'shaa, and set out to prove that Supreme Overlord Shimrra was a fraud. Kuhqo managed to steal an executor's qahsa and opened it, discovering a wealth of information about the Jedi Knights. His investigation also revealed a connection between the Yuuzhan Vong, the Jedi Knights, and a "living planet." Because the Shamed Ones knew nothing of Zonama Sekot, they used Kuhqo's discoveries to begin a search for the living planet. (FP)

Kuhru
this man served the Empire as a Major in the Army, and was a noted AT-AT commander. Upon returning from a mission in which he failed to capture Luke Skywalker, Major Kuhru was compelled to walk out of an airlock - without an environment suit - by Darth Vader. (LTA3, MC51)

Kuk'tar
this hot, seared ball of rock was the second planet in the Kothlis System, and was orbited by a single moon. Barely large enough to be called a planet, Kuk'tar was being torn asunder by the proximity of Koth-lar's intense gravity. (SPG)

Kukul
this Hutt was in charge of the Guarja Shipyards on Nal Hutta, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (BH)

Kulai
this was the Kriek term used to describe a shaman or priest. They accepted a life outside a clan, hoping to become closer to the gods Br'lai and T'kor. (SWJ13)

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

Kuli Ned'lx
this was the name of a distinguished Verpine individual. (UANT)

Kulkah
this Huttese term was used to describe perfect weather conditions for a given event. (E1A14)

Kulkis
this heavy-handed Nikto served the Thaereian Navy during the final decades of the Old Republic. When the Clone Wars broke out, Kulkis had attained the rank of Commander, but never forgot that he was only as good as the soldiers who served under him. He commanded the Bravedawn, and was known among his peers as "Cruel Kiss", because his seemingly genuine concern could turn to severe and unwarranted punishment in a heartbeat. However, as the war against Cularin and the conflict in the greater galaxy continued to take its toll in lives, Kulkis began to question the need for further military activity. During a surprise inspection of the barracks, he discovered Nightwing cleaning his weapon. Nightwing was unable to find the source of a problem, as was Kulkis, and the Nikto decided to use the situation to explain his beliefs. He drew a knife on Nightwing and tried to attack him, but the younger man was able to twist the knife away from himself. When they fell to the floor, the knife pierced Kulkis' chest, puncturing his lungs. As Kulkis died, he tried to explain to Nightwing that the weapon - not the soldier - was the problem all along, and that sometimes, the weapon needed to simply be discarded. (LFCW)

Kulltu Kutta
this brown-skinned being was one of the many gladiators who tried to win their freedom from the arenas of Rattatak, during the final years of the Old Republic. He often rode a sowsquatch into battle. (CWSB)

Kulthis
this planet, the third world in the same star system as Belderone, was targeted for subjugation by the Empire during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The native of Kulthis had grown restless after the Empire established it laboratory on Belderone, and had begun to rebel. The Allliance caught word of their activities and agreed to help keep the system free. (LTA1, MCA3)

Kulthka
this was one of the more common names given to males of the Mon Calamari race. To the Mon Calamari, this name meant "remembered" - or, more literally, "within memory". (GCG)

Kulv-Bockar

Kuma
a group of Alliance Nebulon-B frigates destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Kumac
this Hutt was one of Jabba's most efficient underlings, during his reign as the top Hutt crimelord. She was loyal and also quick-witted, and wasted no time in carving out her own piece of Jabba's empire following his death on Tatooine. Shortly afterward, Kumac engineered an escape plan that freed Brahle Logris from prison on Tamazall. She hoped to use Logris' talents to her own advantage, but Logris was eventually captured by the Sector Rangers. (GG11)

Kumauri
this starshipwright developed several warship designs during the Old Republic, including the Cal-class warship. They operated under the control of Vall Kumauri, and based many of their designs on the original Kumauri Battleship. (CRO)
