Boosin, Gaeriala
this woman was a popular recording artist during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN5)

Booster
this was one of the most common names given to male Corellians. (GMR9)

Boosters' Club
this was the name given to a galaxy-wide organization of civic groups that were committed to ensuring their homeworlds were properly promoted throughout the galaxy. Individual chapters often dispatched delegations to local spaceports to greet visitors, in an effort to show their planets in the best possible light. (HSL)

Bootlegger's Slide
this was the name of a specialized obstacle used in swoopchasing. The Slide was an open-air, anti-gravity channel which rendered all riders weightless and without speed limits. The lack of gravity pulled a swoop along at nearly twice its normal speed, and riders were forced to use maneuvering jets in order to navigate the Slide. A safety rail was installed in every Slide channel, allowing riders who were out of control to bump along and regain their bearings without being seriously injured. (BSS)

Booty Full
this pirate ship was a modified bulk cruiser, and was part of the fleet which was assembled under Leonia Tavira, several years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. It attempted to waylay the luxury liner Glitterstar, but was subdued by Rogue Squadron. (IJ)

Boozoo "Bogey" Boga
this Aqualigh bounty hunter was known for his devious tactics of hijacking other hunters, so that he could claim the bounties they were searching for. Quite often, Boga then recruited the bounty into his own organization, the Galactic Radicals. He earned the nickname "Bogey" because he often contacted his victims beforehand, saying "There's a bogey on your tail!" A bounty was placed on Boga's head by Pepeh Blangko, around the time of the Battle of Naboo. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Boga was apprehended on the Outland Transit Station by Jango Fett. (BH)

Bo-Pe Sommo
an independent spacer who was at one time given clearance to make the Byss Run, his clearance was revoked. However, he purchased a stolen security code from Shug Ninx, and tried to make the run anyway. He was killed when the Gauntlet Scanners rejected his code, immediately after Shug and Salla Zend used another illegal code and passed. (DE2)

Boqeri
this was the period of self-imposed isolation that a Nazzar of the Old Republic would perform to cleanse their soul and become imued with the Ulizra and the Great Structure. The boqeri lasted twelve Nazzri years. (TOJC)

Bor
this was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Bora Boru
a Bosph smuggler operating in the Outer Rim during the Galactic Civil War. Bora Boru was one of the few Bosphs who survived the destruction of their homeworld at the hands of the Empire, and embarked on a personal mission of peace. Because of his innate connection to The Force, Bora Boru was known among his people as The Farseer. He obtained his ship, the Bosphon Forever by marking it as his own and then killing the previous owner in "self-defense." In the smuggling business, Bora Boru was known as a slow, contemplative being who nevertheless always made his deliveries. (SWJ5, SWJ13)

Borallis Metalworking & Materials
this corporation produced a wide range to tools and materials for use in welding applications. (PSG)

Boram
this fluid was used as a coolant in many starship engine systems, during the early decades of the New Republic. (SBS)

Boranall
this was a temperate planet. According to legends maintained by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic, the ancient Jedi Master Shang-Troy Thanabo discovered twin boys who were exceptionally attuned to the Force on this planet, and took both to be his Padawan learners. (T14)

Boranut Tree
this was a bushy tree which could be grown indoors, and was often used in the lobbies of hotels and casinos. (SWI67)

Borao
this planet was one of many that were discovered by Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The Solos were hoping to provide the planet to the dishomed Ithorians of the galaxy, but their claim was stolen by raiders from the RePlanetHab corporation. Much of the planet was covered with dense forests, through which spires of yorik coral grew in ominous fingers. However, left to its own devices after the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong, Borao's natural underbrush took hold and covered much of the yorik coral with vines and other lianas. When the Solos were forced to turn over the location of a planet they had discovered in the Unknown Regions as a new nesting place for the hives of the Colony that lived on the moons of Qoribu, Leia demanded that Cal Omas repeal RePlanetHab's claim to Borao, so that it could finally be turned over to the Ithorians. (DN1)

Boras
this species of incredibly large plant was native to the planet Zonama Sekot. Boras could grow to be six hundred meters tall, with diameters well over 10 meters at their base. The foliage of the boras formed an immense canopy over the planet, colored with greens and dotted with gold, blue, purple, and red. Despite their size and shape, most xenobotanists did not classify the boras as a tree. The original colonists, however, could only liken them to trees, and used the Ferroan word boras - which meant tree - to describe them. The balloon-like leaves of the boras were used by the colonists as airsacs, which were used to create floating airships. The lifecycle of the boras was the model after which the creation of Sekotan starships was developed. The ancient boras drop seeds to the ground, which move about to feed on the dead limbs the boras tree drops to the tampasi floor. Then, during periods of intense thunderstorms, the boras channel raw lightning through their branches to the seeds on the ground, filling them with energy and cracking them open in a process known as forging. Once the seeds are opened, special leaves on the boras tree shape the seeds into future boras trees in a process known as annealing. In this way, no two boras trees are alike. The original Magister of the planet trained the boras to move their dense canopies over the organic factories of the Jentari, blocking the creation process from prying eyes. Wild boras were known to be dangerous and territorial, and at least one grove of rogue boras existed on Zonama Sekot. (RP, FH3)

Boras
this was the Ferroan word for 'tree.' (RP)

Boras Network
this was the term used to describe the unusual, planet-spanning ability of the boras trees found on Zonama Sekot to communicate with each other almost instantaneously. The native Ferroans were allowed to tap into the network, receiving information from around the planet at almost any time. The network was formed from the deep-growing roots of the boras trees, which linked together to form a world-spanning network. (FH3)

Boraso
this man was a native of Naboo, and served in the Royal Security Force under Captain Panaka. A Private, Boraso was captured by Trade Federation battle droids during the invasion of the planet. (IOT)

Borbor Crisk
this being was part of Grand Admiral Thrawn's trail into Black Sun's operations on Corellia. He was known to the law enforcement agencies as a small-time criminal whose interests remained within the Corellian System. Despite this description, it was known that Crisk hoped to topple Zekka Thyne and Black Sun to gain control of the system's underworld. (TFE)

Borborygmus Gog
this evil, mad scientist once worked for the Empire. A Shi'ido, he was the lead scientist for Project Starscream, and controlled the efforts of Doctor Evazan for much of this time. Gog was the primary developer behind the planet D'vouran, a project he began with his partner, Mammon Hoole, about twenty years before the Battle of Yavin. They received Imperial support for the project, and moved their labs to the planet Kiva. There, they tinkered with the ability to control life and death. When their experiments began to drain from the native Kivans, Hoole became alarmed. Gog, however, told the Emperor that everything was OK, and ordered the continuation of the experiments. Eventually, the experiment robbed the entire planet of Kiva of all life, including the native Kivans, and the experiment failed. Gog blamed the failure on Hoole, and continued in secret. He was though to have died on Nespis 8, after being captured by a dianoga living on the station, but reappeared on Kiva in hopes of capturing Hoole and maintaining control over Starscream. There, Gog activated the biological weapon Eppon, more to save himself from the wrath of Darth Vader than anything else. After destroying Eppon, Gog himself was executed by the wraiths of the dead Kivans, after D-V9 revealed Gog's transmission to the Emperor documenting the destruction of Kiva. (GOF2, GOF5, GOF6)

Borcatu
this creature was a small, plated rodent which was found in a wide range of environments and locations. Their bodies were protected by overlapping plates of hard chitin, and their feet were tipped with hard claws for digging. They were scavengers, living on anything they could dig up. Originally native to the Serhan desert of Escabar, it is believed that borcatu were inadvertently transported off the planet by a group of traders from the Krassh region. (COG)

Borcorash
this planet is known for the incredibly-colored sunsets which can be viewed from anywhere on the planet. The planet's atmospheric conditions result in an ever-shifting array of colors during sunset. (SOP)

Bordal
one of two habitable planets in the Taroon System, Bordal was invaded by the Empire just before the Battle of Hoth. Bordal and its sister planet, Kuan, had been locked in a bitter, decades-old war, although no one remembered the exact cause. The Bordali 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 Bordali to join the Empire. The planet's primary inhabitants are human. (TIE)

Borderland Regions
a militarized zone between the New Republic's space and that of the Imperial remnants. This is not an official sector of the galaxy, but a name given to the remaining Galactic Civil War battle zone. (HTTE)

Bordhell
this corporation manufactured fuel slugs during the centuries preceeding the Old Republic. Xim the Despot had stockpiled a huge number of Bordhell fuel slugs to help him protect his growing empire. The Queen of Ranroon was loaded with them when it was hidden on Dellalt. (HSL)

Bordo
this Grave Tusken served as Rogg's second-in-command, after their tribe was exported to the moon of Sulon by the Empire. Bordo hated the fact that he was subordinate to Rogg, and spent most of his time groveling to Rogg. When Kyle Katarn returned to Sulon to recover his father's belonging, he was attacked by Rogg's forces near the homestead. In the confusion of the firefight, Bordo shot Rogg dead, hoping to assuming leadership of the tribe. However, Kyle managed to shoot Bordo through the chest in the fight, killing his instantly. (RAG)

Bordo, Natt
this man was one of the prison guards known as the Helmet Squad, working at the Oovo IV prison facility during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Bordo was part of a large internal smuggling operation that ensured the inmates had all manner of articles that were otherwise prohibited at many prison facilities. Compounding this fact, Bordo was skimming profits from the smuggling operations, fueling his own illicit desires. This was discovered by several prisoners who were eventually released from Oovo IV, and related to several prominent Hutt crimelords. This led to a bounty being placed on Bordo's head, which Jango Fett claimed during his "rescue" of Bendix Fust. (BH)

Bordok
a small, horse-shaped creature native to the forest moon of Endor, the bordok was not believed to be indigenous to the moon. The Ewoks domesticated them and used them as pack animals. The front legs of a bordok were much longer than the rear legs, giving the creature a sloped back and powerful neck. There were two distinct subspecies of bordok found on the Endor moon: the rare greater bordok and the smaller, more plentiful lesser bordok. Each species had two horns which grew from their heads, just above the ears, which were used for fighting and for attracting a mate. (ECAR, WSW, ANT)

Borealis
one of four Corellian CR90 Corvettes under the command of Lumiya, following the Battle of Endor. (SWG3)

Borean, Kell
this woman was a frequent patron of the Outlander Club, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. Many visitors thought she was an employee of the club, since she was regularly seen at the various gaming tables. (OWS, SWI75)

Bore-bang
this explosive device was created by the Old Republic military, and saw heavy used during the Clone Wars. The bore-bang was ostensibly a long, red tube that was filled with high-yield explosives. However, when it was held next to the ground and the end cap was removed, the bore-bang began to burrow its way into the ground. They could be set to go off with a certain time-delay, allowing them to get several feet belowground before exploding. The resulting explosion tore up huge chunks of earth as well as any being or droid on top of it. In addition to any injuries sustained in the initial blast, a being was then pummeled with falling debris. (RCHC)

Borecrawler
this was a species of particularly devastating insectile creature found on Virujansi. Larval borecrawlers were used as a torture and execution tool. (RC)

Boreen
this starship lock component controls the retry mechanism. (CFG)

Borellos Base
this was the Old Republic's primary base on the planet Corellia, during the height of the Clone Wars. (MJH)

Borer Beetle
this insect, native to the planet Kashyyyk, was named for the way it bored into the wood of the wroshyr tree, feeding as it moved but never destroying enough of the tree to cause it harm. The Kachirho clan used the borer beetle as their symbol, since they built the city of Kachirho in a huge wroshyr tree without damaging the tree itself. (VD3)

Borf, Velgar
this customs agent worked for the Empire in the Derilyn System, during the Imperial occupation of Elrood Sector. He was admitted to the Imperial Navy Officers' School mainly because of his family connections, and was one of the most substandard students ever to actually graduate from the school. Despite his indifferent attitude, Borf managed to break up the Red Nalroni smuggling ring, which earned him a promotion. However, his otherwise unspectacular record earned him the posting in Elrood Sector. It was later learned that much of Borf's appearance and mannerisms were exaggerated by Borf in order to keep strangers off-guard. He was actually a skilled mechanic and an excellent customs officer. (PG3)

Borg
this term was used to describe an being who was half-human and half-droid. In general, borgs were regarded as soulless creatures who had given into the mechanical aspects of droids and automatons, an ofshoot of the galaxy's prejudices against droids. (MC7)

Borga Besadii Diori
this Hutt was considered the most powerful of the Hutts, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Borga was ostensibly the leader of the Hutt kajidics, and so it fell to him to try and negotiate a treaty with the Yuuzhan Vong. Borga started making deals with the Yuuzhan Vong commander, Malik Carr, and his intermediary Pedric Cuf. Borga resented the efforts of the Peace Brigade, since they were counteractive to the deals he tried to make. During these negotiations, Borga leaked information to the New Republic that she was trying to play the Yuuzhan Vong on both sides of the table, hoping to gain their confidence while providing the Republic with information on their movements in Hutt Space. Borga pledged to support Malik Carr and the Yuuzhan Vong, allowing them to stage the next phase of the invasion from Hutt Space. In return, Borga was given information on which worlds would be attacked next, allowing her to profit from the attacks. However, Nas Choka recognized Borga's treachery, and decided to end the charade immediately. He quickly subjugated Nal Hutta and began terraforming to to the needs of the Yuuzhan Vong. Borga and many other Hutts were able to escape Nal Hutta, and were forced to live in exile for the duration of the war. (HT, JE, NJOSB)

Borg-implant
a computer chip implanted into warriors that links them to a central computer which controls their actions. (HTTE)

Borgle
this vicious, bat-like creature was believed to be native to the moon Rori. Many xenobiologists considered them an embodiment of evil, because they lived in dark caves and attacked anything that moved, draining their prey of blood before devouring the flesh. The largest borgles ever documented measured some five meters from nose to tail, although many xenobiologists believe any specimen this size had to have been a mutation. (ROD)

Borgo Prime
Lando Calrissian sold corusca gems to a broker on this asteroid space station. Over the years, the station has collected it fair share of murderers, thieves, and conmen. The asteroid itself is honeycombed with old mining tunnels and caves that have been long-ago stripped of an valuable ores. This network was easily modified to accommodate a spaceport. After the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, an Imperial credit-laundering operation was also esablished here, providing a steady flow of funds into the waning Imperial coffers. (SA, SOP)

Borhek
this large, six-legged beast resembled a bloated insect. Its body was protected by thick, red plates of armor that could deflect blaster bolts. The average borhek stood two meters in height, and was known for its ferocious temperment. In addition to the thick armor that protected its body, the bordek' carapace was studded with heavy spikes, and a single horn on its head allowed the borhek to impale its prey. The carapace itself was segmented in such a way that the borhek could roll itself into an armored ball if an attacker proved too dangerous. Because of their ability to absorb injuries and keep fighting, borheks were often used in backwater gladiator contests. These borheks were often equipped with remote-controller stimulators, which could be used to inflict small amounts to pain to further anger the creature. (BH)

Boribos Prefecture
this section of the city-world of Coruscant was located near the CoCo District and the Hirkenglade Prefecture. They were all connected by skyroute D25D. (HNN4)

Boribus
see Boribos Prefecture (SWI75)

Borin, Danz
this native of Nar Shaddaa was a cocky gunner and bounty hunter who was nearly as good as he boasted to be. He was in Mos Eisley when Ben Kenobi and Luke Skywalker booked passage on the Millennium Falcon. (CCG2)

Boring Laser
this mining device uses a laser to bore holes in rock. The holes are then filled with explosives for blasting. (SH)

Borium
a raw material mined on the planet Contruum. (CFG)

Bor-Kal Vuluk
this Jedi Master was among the many Jedi who died during the Battle of Ruusan, nearly a millennia before the Clone Wars. The existence of Master Vuluk's lightsaber - believed to be somewhere on Ruusan - became a source of debate for xenoarchaeologists and treasure seekers for many centuries. (LFCW)

Borkeen Belt
an infamous belt of asteroids which were the remains of a shattered planet, the Borkeen Belt was reported to be the home of Grendel, the huge space slug. The Borkeen Belt is a navigator's nightmare, and no ship has ever been know to return from it. (SWSB)

Borke's Cantina
this run-of-the-mill bar and grill was owned by Borke Valkanhayn. Located in Drepplin, on the planet Glova, the cantine was used to launder the money he received from the illegal import and sale of goodson the planet Glova. (POC)

Borkyne
Jodo Kast - in actuality, a disguised Grand Admiral Thrawn - supposedly botched a mission on this planet for Captain Niriz. (TFE)

Borleias
the fourth planet in the Pyria System, it was the site of a facility owned by Alderaan Biotics prior to the Galactic Civil War. The site was abandoned after the destruction of Alderaan, and was forgotten. Imperial General Evir Derricote discovered the abandoned base and set up a base of his own there, diverting Imperial supplies to strengthen his position on Borleias. He made almost three million credits creating lost Alderaanian foodstuffs and selling them on the black market. The planet was overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong many years later, shortly before the Second Battle of Coruscant. The alien invaders set up several large dovin basals on the single moon which orbited Borleias, and used them to pull the various planetary defenses to their destruction. Without these defenses, Borleias itself was easy to capture. However, when the neighboring planet of Coruscant fell to the Yuuzhan Vong, Wedge Antilles and a core team of his supporters retreated to Borleias and routed the alien forces there. They had planned to make Borleias a temporary base, and it was eventually abandoned in an effort to throw the Yuuzhan Vong off the trails of several other missions. (XWN, SBS, EL1)

Borleias
one of the New Republic transport ships stationed on Folor shortly after the Battle of Thyferra. It suffered from a ion engine initializer malfunction while escaping from the Implacable, and was escorted off the moon by Wraith Squadron. (WS)

Borless Acid
this was a mild acid used in the bullets fired by Kelvarek Consolidated Arms' KD-30 Dissuader pistol. (GFT)

Borliss Automation Concepts, Incorporated
this small manufacturer produced a wide range of personal automation devices, designed to allow the average person to perform manual labors with relative ease. (GFT)

Borlo
this Ewok served as the stable sweeper for Bright Tree Village, during the years leading up to the Battle of Endor. Borlo's job was to ensure that the bordoks were well-tended. (ECAR)

Borlorian
this was an alien race. (GFT)

Borlov
this planet was the homeworld of the Borlovians. (SWJ7)

Borlovian
this timid, feathered alien race was native to the planet Borlov. They have a stable, feudal society, and they very rarely leave their home cities. Change was feared by their society, and stability was considered one of the greatest virtues of an individual. They communicate via a series of multiply-layered trills and whistles. (SWJ7)

Bormea Sector
this Core area maked up one half of the Ringali Shell. It was ruled by Imperial Moff Jamson Caglio during the Galactic Civil War. The Perlemian Trade Router intersects the Hydian Way in this sector. (SWJ7)

Bormea System
this star system was a major stop-over point for transport ships carrying passengers to and from Coruscant. (IJ)

Bormm Biveedo
this Rodian was a business associate of Drooto Sploonore. Much of their business centered on the shipment of spice along the Hydian Way. (GMR6)

Bornaryn Trading Company
this was the title used by the workers and supporters of the Thul family shipping empire, led by Bornan Thul and his wife, Aryn Dro Thul. Bornan used it as the name of his shipping company. (TEP)

Borneck
this race of near-humans was native to the planet Vellity and its system. Their skin color ranges from pale yellow to orange-brown, and they were known for their patience and common sense. The Bornecks were a peaceful race known for their common sense and patience, and they known to be excellent farmers. Most Bornecks enjoy heavy labor, and hard work is considered the key to good health. Bornecks also enjoy celebrations, and the multitude of holidays and fetes brought them together into a planetary society. The average Borneck lived to be 120 standard years of age. (GMK, AE)

Borno
this Askajian male was the leader of a group of Askajian refugees who fled the Imperial occupation of their homeworld or the deserts of Tatooine, during the early years of the New Republic. He agreed to help Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, search out a Jawa sandcrawler which they believed to contain Kitster Banai and the Killik Twilight moss-painting. His companions agreed to help out as much as they could, allowing Han and Leia to pose as drivers of dewbacks laden with supplies while Chewbacca and C-3PO were slung beneath their mounts. Borno himself was a veteran of dealing with the Empire, and continually did his best to thwart their efforts. He was also an excellent scout and guide, using all of Tatooine's natural defenses to cover his tracks. During the time he was helping the Solos, Borno was also working with Gwend to transport a group of Askajians from their homeworld after Grand Moff Wilkadon made his annual inspection tour. Leia realized that the successful recovery of the Killik Twilight would not only save the New Republic's agents, but it would also save these Askajians. This made her mission all the more important, especially after all the help Borno and his tribe gave them. (TG)

Borofir
this young Ghostling child was captured, along with Princess Arawynne, by Djas Puhr and brought to Mos Espa to be sold as a slave. Borofir was just three years old at the time. (E1A5)

Borogove
this was Cecil Noone's personal starship, which served as his base of operations. The ship was lost when the group traveled to the Song of the Clouds in order to recover a sealed lockbox from Vop the Usurer. (SWJ15)

Borokii
see Situng Borokii (APS)

Borolol's Claw
a tall mountain peak found on Captivity. The Claw is tall enough that it sometimes pierces the cloud cover of the moon if it gets stuck in the eye of a storm. (RC)

Borosk
this planet was part of the holdings of the Imperial Remnant, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was a small planet, but was strategic in that it was on the border of the Remnant, and was therefore heavily fortified to repel any attack on the Empire. The asteroid belt that surrounded the planet provided a wealth of natural resources, and several mining operations were established on the larger planetoids. When the New Republic discovered the build-up at Borosk, it fortified its own nearby systems, in case the Empire used Borosk as the launchpoint for an invasion. This led to further arming of Borosk's defenses, making it better protected than even the Imperial capital of Bastion. In the wake of the Battle of Bastion, it was decided that the surviving Imperial forces should fall back to Borosk - rather than Yaga Minor - so that the Remnant could regroup and better launch a retaliatory strike against the Yuuzhan Vong. (FH1)

Borra
this was another name for the boar-wolf, found on the Forest Moon of Endor. (EGC, CHRN)

Borra Chambo
this being was one of the most important classical composers of the Old Republic. (MBS)

Borrat
this creature, found in the subterranean realms of Coruscant but not native to the city-world, could grow to be two meters in length. These creatures were protected by tusks, spines, armored flesh, and hard claws, making them dangerous when encountered. Borrats tended to be solitary. (WG, SWEMO)

Borreno, Dashe'
this Naboo girl was only nine years old when she was chosen to participate in the Legislative Youth Program. Considered a prodigy and likened to Padme' Amidala, Dashe' was one of the many junior senators who voted against the Military Creation Act, during a mock vote held by the Legislative Youth Program. (HNN5)

Borscii
this bushy plant is native to the planet Bothawui, and is often used in decorative plantings. (SOP)

Borsk
this was one of the many names given to male Bothans. In the Bothan language, it meant "proud." (GCG, WOTC)

Borsk Fey'lya
Fey'lya, recognizable by his cream-colored fur and violet eyes, was a native of the Bothan colony world Kothlis. He joined the Alliance shortly after the Battle of Yavin. He brought with him a large contingent of Bothans. He led the mission to steal the Death Star plans (although this is not verified by X-Wing: Rogue Squadron), and was rewarded with a leadership position in the Alliance which grew into a seat on the New Republic's General Council. As a councilor in the Alliance, he began playing the various representatives against each other, in an effort to gain more and more power. After the Battle of Endor, Fey'lya's manipulations came to a head when the New Republic - in an effort to gain some legitimacy - began to plan the retaking of Coruscant. Fey'lya set up the series of discussions and briefings on Noquivzor, where other members of the council would feel ill-at-ease, due to the planet's dry environment. This worked in his favor, forcing Ackbar and others to debate amongst themselves while Fey'lya entered his own opinions. Fey'lya probably would have continued to gain power this way, but his Bothan ideals got the best of him when Grand Admiral Thrawn stepped onto the scene. When he saw an opportunity to denounce Admiral Ackbar and gain control of the Republic's armed forces, he took it. He aligned himself with Grand Admiral Thrawn's plans to discredit Ackbar, and was the main proponent in Ackbar's treason hearings. When the plot against Ackbar was revealed, Fey'lya thought that his career with the Republic was finished. However, the Republic recognized that is needed strong leaders, and pardoned him. Rumors abound that, at this time, Fey'lya tried to bribe Talon Karrde with 70,000 credits to keep information about the planet Wayland a secret. These rumors, when combined with the information on the Bothan participation in the destruction of Caamas, fueled wild speculation about his clan's part in Caamas' death. However, he remained a loyal Republic supporter after that, although he never lost his uncanny ability to turn a situation to his own advantage. To this end, he began forcing Asyr Sei'lar to abandon her relationship with Gavin Darklighter, for he felt that it wasn't the way a proper Bothan - let alone a hero of stature almost equal to the Martyrs - should behave. Asyr ignored him, knowing that Bothan society would have to change to meet the demands of the new galaxy. Fey'lya told her that he himself would control that change, and told Asyr to fall into line with him. She refused, and after her "death" at Corvis Minor 5, she began working to change society without him. The fact that Asyr's body was never recovered hurt Fey'lya's plans to make her into the greatest of all Martyrs, and forced him to approach Booster Terrik with a request to locate a Bothan body to use in her place. Fey'lya had no qualms about Booster's people murdering a Bothan in order to fill the need. Booster flatly refused, and beat Fey'lya with his fists to ensure he got the message. Fey'lya was forced to return to Coruscant and rethink his plans. He later served as the chairman of the Justice Council during Leia Organa-Solo's tenure as Chief of State. After the agreement with Admiral Pellaeon to effectively eliminate Imperial opposition, Fey'lya was named Chief of State of the New Republic in a sweeping power-play. He led the New Republic Advisory Council twenty years after the Battle of Bilbringi, and was in this position at the onset of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. He had arranged for a great deal of support to be voted to Senatorial positions, and received strong backing when Leia Organa Solo pleaded with the High Council to act against the Yuuzhan Vong forces. Fey'lya and his supporters dismissed her pleas as a poorly-disguised way to regain political power, but he was proven wrong when the worlds of Dantooine, Bimmiel, and Garqi were overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong. After it was revealed that he had manipulated Navy orders to avoid confrontation with the Vong, Fey'lya was forced to concede leadership to the military in order to avoid a complete take-over of the galaxy by the Yuuzhan Vong. However, he managed to retain enough control to throw support to the Jedi, garnering a measure of support he had yet to attain. However, all his posturing and political maneuvering came to naught when the Yuuzhan Vong bypassed the Bilbringi Shipyards and attacked Coruscant itself. Rather than allow the planet to be taken while he fled in fear, Fey'lya allowed himself to be captured. He had hoped that the Yuuzhan Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, would come to Coruscant, but Fey'lya was allowed only to speak to Romm Zqar. During the Yuuzhan Vong' request for formal surrender, Fey'lya refused, setting off a collection of explosions in the Imperial Palace that took his life and those of the entire Yuuzhan Vong complement. Nevertheless, Coruscant fell to the alien invaders, despite Fey'lya's noble end. (HTTE, DFR, WG, SOL, IR, VP, DTO, SBS, SWDB)

this Taurill was made famous during the last years of the Old Republic because it was taught by its owner to play the sport of greenputt.

this fair-haired human was the Captain of the Pure Sabacc. A native of the planet Algar, he was distinguished by a scar which cut across his lips. It was Bortrek and the Pure Sabacc that intercepted C-3PO and R2-D2 when they escaped from the Death Seed plague launched by Seti Ashgad aboard the Borealis. He made extensive modifications to R2-D2, using the small droid to assist in piloting the Pure Sabacc while Bortrek stole the droids. R2-D2 eventually overrode the ship'sprogramming and allowed the two droids to escape from Bortrek's possession. (POT)

Borun Call
this infamous Quarren slaver aided the Empire during its enslavement of the Talz people on Alzoc III. Later, Borun Call was the first being encountered by Slar-dan ti Gardi after the Twi'lek was released from a New Republic detention facility. Call taught the Twi'lek everything he knew about the slave trade, and rescued Gardi from capture by Tauran Nartal. The pair captured a pair of Wookiees shortly after the Valfin Labor Camps Insurgence, unaware that the Wookiees were actually representatives of the New Republic government. Nartal nearly caught them on Werncin 3, but he underestimated Borun Call's cunning. Call and Gardi continued to harass the Listehol Run, using Call's personal ship - the Vanquisher to capture ships and sell the passengers as slaves. (SWJ8, SWJ10, SWJ11)

Borvak
this clan once threatened the Bureau of Ships and Services with physical violence. BoSS, in turn, threatened to bring interstellar commerce to a halt by deleting all known transponder data of all starships unless the planetart governments helped bring the Borvaks down. The governments responded, and the Borvaks backed down against the sheer size of the force arrayed against them. Note that Galaxy Guide 12 describes this family as the Nimbanese Bovark clan. (CFG, GG12)

Borvo
this Hutt was a noted supplier of black-market weaponry and spices during the Old Republic. He maintained a secret base on the planet Naboo, shortly before the Trade Federation blockaded the planet, in order to keep his business dealings out of sight of the Republic. When the Trade Federation blockaded Naboo, Borgo suddenly found that he was cut off from most of his lines of profit. He was left with the small amount of income he normally got from his legitimate businesses. Because, of this, Borgo allied himself with the Naboo, helping them gear up for the Battle of Naboo. As the Clone Wars passed and the Empire to control of the galaxy, Borvo remained hidden on Naboo. He branched out his operations to take advantage of the Galactic Civil War, controlling a number of smuggling and gunrunning operations. (BFN, SWI69, WOTC)

BoShek
BoShek was a noted smuggler who found himself regularly compared to Han Solo, although he never achieved Solo's notoriety. BoShek had actually beaten Solo's 12-parsec Kessel Run, but he did it without a cargo, relegating him to a footnote in the unofficial record books of smugglers. He made the run in the starship Infinity, and was returning the ship to Tatooine when he encountered Imperial Star Destroyers deployed by Darth Vader to locate R2-D2 and C-3PO. BoShek was forced to land the ship in the Dune Sea, and headed toward Mos Eisley to see what was going on. He established a secret outlaw tech lab in the city, in an effort to restore the Infinity to good working condition. In the cantina at Mos Eisley, he discovered Chewbacca, and was gloating to him about his new Kessel Run record when Ben Kenobi approached him about passage to Alderaan. BoShek, without a ship of his own since he was under the employ of the Dim-U monastery on Tatooine, referred Ben to Chewbacca. Meanwhile, BoShek tried to rub in his new record on Han Solo, but he was forced to flee when the local government learned that he had downed the Infinity and wanted to hold him responsible for a breach in security. He used his encounter with Ben Kenobi to pose as a street priest preaching the good side of the Force, and after witnessing the Imperial slaughter of Het Nkik, he decided to join the Alliance. However, the excitement he thought would come with the job eventually dried up, and he decide to leave the rest of the galaxy behind. He ended up on Stoga, hoping to avoid the Galactic Civil War and its entanglements. The peace lasted only a few months, before he agreed to help Rasha Bex escape from Karn and his rebels. Unknown to BoShek, however, was that Rasha was actually an Imperial spy. He managed to get her to the rendezvous point, only to find himself under arrest for supporting the Alliance. He was taken prisoner and hauled away for interrogation. (TME, CCG, SWEOR)

Boshuda
this Kashyyykian bolystyngar won second place in the annual Mid-Rim Domesticated Sub-Sentient Show, held on the planet Commenor shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. The owner of the winning beast, a wilwog named Itipiniwi, became hysterical when the results were announced, causing the wilwog to yelp wildly. This yelping irritated Boshuda's sensitive ears, and the bolystyngar simply ate Itipiniwi. Boshuda was named the winner by default, as there were no rules regarding the consumption of one entrant by another. (HNN4)

Boska!
this Huttese command translated into Basic as "Let's go!" (GMR5)
