Bosmihi
this Kroctarian was the leader of the Unified Factions during the second decade of the New Republic, and was one of the first aliens to welcome the sham of Moff Disra and the conman Flim. (VOF)

Boson
this was a form of labor droid developed by Industrial Automaton during the decades leading up to the Clone Wars. These droids were notoriously hard to control, and IA often employed boson "wranglers" to keep them in line. (MJH)

Bosph
this Outer Rim planet was razed by Imperial bombardment which was rumored to be a retaliatory strike against rebellious inhabitants. In reality, the strike - which was led by Moff Harsh - was designed to eliminate the Bosphs, some of whom were sensitive to the Force. Many Bosphs believed that the attack was a form of religious purge, and none ever discovered that Emperor Palpatine himself ordered their destruction. The planet itself was covered with grassy plains, broken by the scars of turbolaser fire. Bosph was located in the Bosph Sector of the galaxy. (SWJ5, SWJ13, GMR6)

Bosph
the four-armed alien race native to the planet Bosph. They had a stocky, humanoid shape, although their semi-circular heads were attached directly to their torso, without a neck. Their heads were dominated by two multi-faceted eyes and a pair of horns. Their hands and feet each had three digits, and their skin color ranged from light brown to dark gray. They were isolationists by nature, with a deep respect for philosophy and religion. Bosph leaders were known to have sensitivity to the Force, and could control it to some degree. Certain Bosphs attained greatness, and were allowed to place their own personal glyphs on objects. The Bosphs maintained their space-faring history by tattooing elaborate starmaps on their skin. After the Empire destroyed much of their homeworld, most Bosphs simply dis-remembered the Empire and its acts, instead blaming the attack on the Yenntar. (SWJ13, AE)

Bosphon Forever
this Surronian L19 freighter was the personal smuggling ship owned by Bora Boru. He stole the ship when he set out on his own, recognizing that he needed a ship of his own in order to run deliveries his ownway. He found an appropriate ship and marked it as his own, covering its walls and hull with glyphs. When the previous owner became enraged at the grafitti, Bora Boru was forced to "defend himself" against the man, killing the trader and taking the ship. Bora Boru completed the marking of the ship's walls with glyphs, creating a vast tapestry of the recent history of the Bosphs as well as indicating that the ship was his property. It was armed with a turret-mounted twin blaster cannon and a turret-mounted ion cannon. The Bosphon Forever could accommodate up to ten passengers and 120 metric tons of cargo. (SWJ5)

Bosphon Geddy
a complex musical instrument developed by the Bosphs. (SWJ5)

this element is one of the key components of the truth serum Bavo Six. (CFG)

Boss
this was the nickname of RC-1138. one of the first clone commandos to be decanted from the facilities on Kamino, during the build-up to the Clone Wars. Known to his comrades as simply Boss, RC-1138 was trained by Walon Vau and was the first leader of Delta Squad. Interestingly, RC-1138 managed to acquire Jango Fett's Concord Dawn accent and speech patterns, despite his upbringing on Kamino. (LAWS)

Boss Gallo
this ancient Gungan lived some 3,000 years before the Battle of Naboo, ruling over the underwater city of Otoh Sancture and refusing to participate in the petty battles which were fought between rival Gungan clans. He was believed to have said that "no good ever comes from Gungan war," and held to the belief that war among the Gungan people was amoral. When Boss Rogoe attacked Otoh Sancture in an effort to prevent Boss Gallo from choosing sides in the Gungan war, Boss Gallo had no choice but to strike back, even after Otoh Sancture was destroyed. In the war which followed, Boss Gallo's armies wiped out those of Boss Rogoe, and from the rubble of the battle Boss Gallo built the wondrous city of Otoh Gunga. He also began uniting the various Gungan clans, and was regarded as a hero by the modern Gungans. (GB)

Boss Gurgle
this Quarren was considered the kingpin of Morjanssik's criminal underground, during the early years of the New Order. (WOA34)

Boss Gymmill
this man was a noted crimelord, during the last decades of the Old Republic. He maintained several secure, luxury apartments on a number of different worlds, for use as living space as he traveled on business. (GCG)

Boss Kaggle

Boss Nass
see Rugor Nass (SWDB)

Boss Rogoe
this ancient Gungan lived some 3,000 years before the Battle of Naboo. Boss Rogoe commanded a clan of Gungans from his stronghold city fo Spearhead, and was among the most powerful Gungans to ever live on Naboo. However, he was fearful of the political power that Boss Gallo held, despite the fact the Boss Gallo remained stoicaly neutral in the Gungan clans wars. Boss Rogoe feared that Boss Gallo might throw his alliance toward another clan, thereby preventing Boss Rogoe from gathering more power. In a pre-emptive strike, Boss Rogoe attacked Otoh Sancture and destroyed it, hoping to eliminate Boss Gallo. Gallo survived, however, and led a counter-attack on Spearhead. Boss Rogoe was killed in the fighting, and Spearhead was destroyed. From the remains of the city of Spearhead, Boss Gallo built the city of Otoh Gunga. (GB)

Boss Tosk
this Columi crimelord rose to power in Tapani Sector, during the early years of the New Order, as the leader of the Jalk Syndicate. When House Mecetti ordered him to shut down all operations of the Syndicate, in an effort to curry favor from Emperor Palpatine, Boss Tosk only appeared to dismantle it. Instead, he maintained its membership and later found an ally in House Barnaba, although both sides worked to keep the alliance a secret. Boss Tosk himself was a loner, and preferred the company of computers and droids to that of living beings. Note that this character is also named Bosk-Tosk in Lords of the Expanse. (LOE)

Boss Trome
this crimelord was known to employ alien species which could change their shape, and he used them in all kinds of positions. (SWJ12)

Boss Ugnor
this Ugnaught, who stood at least a meter and a half tall, was generally regarded as one of the tallest and most noble Ugnaughts ever to live. He was the leader of the work parties who traveled from Gentes to Bespin to assist Ecclessis Figg in the construction of Cloud City, and his ability to deal with the human earned him the title "Ufflor of Ufflors". He also helped created the Ugnaught Mechanics Union, and was the driving force behind the construction of the Ugnaught Surface. (PH)

Boss Zorkiss
this fictional character was immortalized in a series of trading holocards. (GG11)

Bossban

Bossikan/Rendili
this joint effort between Rendili StarDrive and a minor droid manufacturer produced the R-97 series of quartermaster droids. (DARK)

Bossil
this slug-like creature and its friend, Drog, were native to the Forest Moon of Endor. They tried to convince Malani to steal the Sunstar, after learning that Malani was in love with Wicket. Malani was blinded by her affection for Wicket, and nearly failed to see that the two slugs were simply trying to steal the Sunstar for themselves. Bossil and Drog had planned to use the Sunstar to turn the Forest Moon into a muddy swamp, but the young Ewoks quickly realized what was happening and thwarted their plans. (ECAR)

Bossk
this was one of the more common, albeit archaic, names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "devours his prey", and referred to a berserker rage that was once deemed commendable among Trandoshans. (GCG)

Bossk
the son of Cradossk, the leader of the old Bounty Hunters Guild, Bossk was known in his early years as a highly-skilled hunter of Wookiees. This was only natural, since Trandoshans measure their skills in their ability to kill Wookiees. Bossk even had his personal ship, the Hound's Tooth, outfitted with special cages to hold Wookiees, and tanning vats to cure their hides. Bossk, however, was never able to make it to the top of the heap in the Guild, being stifled by both his father's machinations and the existence of freelance hunter Boba Fett. In nearly ever mission they both took, Fett got the upper hand and beat Bossk to the bounty. Often, Fett would then embarrass the Trandoshan, which made Bossk's lust for revenge even deeper. When Bobe Fett decided to join the Guild, Bossk feared that the other hunter was there to destroy the Guild and keep everything for himself. In this belief, Bossk was very close to the truth. However, Cradossk had noticed his son'' growing anger, and hoped to kill him off before he did any real damage. Cradossk arranged for Boba Fett, Bossk, and Zuckuss to recover Oph Nar Dinnid from the Shell Hutts, and hired Zuckuss to ensure Bossk's death. However, Zuckuss was something of a double agent, and reported Bossk's death even as the Trandoshan returned to the Guild. Lulled into a sense of security, Cradossk was unprepared when Bossk appeared. Being younger, stronger, and angrier, Bossk made short work of killing and eating old Cradossk. After the breakup of the Guild, Bossk formed the Guild Reform Committee in opposition to the True Guild. Both factions waged a hidden civil war, further reducing the ranks of bounty hunters. During this time, Bossk decided to join Boba Fett in the search for Trhin Voss'on't. The arrangement was short-lived, however, as both hunters tried to steal the Imperial from the other. In the end, Bossk was embarrassed again by Fett. Bossk retired for a short time to lick his wounds, but was discovrered in the Corellian System by Hal Horn. After killing the security officer, Bossk was caught and imprisoned by Corran Horn, but was released by Kirtan Loor. Bossk then became part of a team that tried to capture a group of relocated Wookiees on the safeworld of Gandolo IV. He had tracked Chewbacca there, and he assembled a group of bounty hunters to take control of the Wookiees. However, through the intervention of Han Solo, the Wookiees were able to escape while Bossk and his fellow bounty hunters were left stranded on Gandolo IV. Bossk eventually freed himself, and vowed to find Chewbacca again. His chance came when Vader sought out bounty hunters to capture the Falcon. He took on two unlikely crewmembers, in the Wookiee Chenlambec and the human, Tinian I'att. The two had posed as bounty hunters, in an attempt to draw Bossk into a trap set by Wookiees. They claimed to have information on a series of Wookiee waystations throughout the galaxy, and that information could be found on one of them that would lead them to Solo and Chewbacca. The ruse worked, and they were able to lure Bossk to Lomabu III. There, in brilliantly-executed series of manipulations, Bossk was captured by Imperial forces and held on the charge of attempting to kill the Wookiees held in a labor camp there. The Imperial Governor, Io Desnand, eventually freed the Trandoshan. Bossk and several other bounty hunters tried to intercept Boba Fett near Gall and capture Solo's frozen form. Bossk tried to waylay Slave I in an asteroid field, but was nearly blown to bits by Fett's marksmanship. Bossk then found work with Jabba the Hutt, as part of the swoop gang used to patrol the landing pads where other hunters brought in Jabba's enemies. Bossk was nearly killed by Fett again when the Hunter brought Han Solo to Jabba. It was during this time that Bossk tried to steal the Slave I, but ended up losing it and the Hound's Tooth to Boba Fett. Bossk did managed to take possession of the load-shifter droid which contained the falsified record of the death of Owen and Beru lars, which was created by Kuat of Kuat, but ultimately lost that to Fett as well. Later, Bossk failed to capture Lando Calrissian on Keyorin. He was 58 standard years old at the time. Bossk then became involved with Zekka Thyne, who was released by the New Republic in an effort to gain information on Coruscant. Bossk was badly wounded in a shootout caused by Corran Horn's escape from Thyne on Coruscant, but managed to survive the wound. He was employed by Big Bunji to harass Han Solo and Roa, during their search for Reck Desh, on the Jubilee Wheel. (ESB, MTS, EGC, SEC, SSE, WG, TBH, MA, SLS, HM, HT)

Boss-Master
Cerasi used this term to describe Qui-Gon Jinn, during her conversations with Obi-Wan Kenobi. (DOD)

Bossuk Roach
this was a species of large, insect scavenger that was native to the planet Ithor. (MIS7)

Bosthirda
this planet was an uncharted world whose existence was a closely-guarded secret. Its location was known only to the Prophets of the Dark Side, who maintained a temple in its wilderness. This temple served as a kind of retreat, where the Prophets could go to store their strength. (RESB)

Bostuco
this man served as a Captain in the police force that protected the planet Onderon and its leader, Queen Talia, during the years following the Mandalorian Wars. Captain Bostuco was in charge of the security detail that protected the Sky Ramp. (KOTOR2)

Bot
Grammel's henchman, his race is unknown. He wears a hooded cloak, and is reportedly mute. He witnesses Luke and Halla discussing the shard of the Kaiburr crystal, and reports it to Grammel. (SME)

Bota
meaning "swimming", this name was common among Gungan females. (GCG)

Bota
this plant, embodying characteristics of both fungus and mold, was believed to have been native only to the swampworld of Drongar. Like several other fungus found on Drongar, bota was highly adaptogenic, changing its chemical makeup to adapt to different environmental situations. This ability also made processed bota the virtually perfect wonder-drug, since it could be used in a variety of treatment without side effects. In humans, it was a potent antibiotic. In Neimoidians, is acted as a narcotic painkiller. To Hutts and many other races, it was a stimulant that was safer and more powerful than glitterstim. The only drawback to the mass-production of bota was that its shelflife, once harvested and freeze-dried, was no more than a few days before it degenerated into a slimy ooze. This problem was eventually overcome by Filba the Hutt, who discovered that bota could be successfully transported for weeks if it was frozen in carbonite. Because of the bota, Drongar became a major battlefield during the Clone Wars, as both the Old Republic and the Separatists fought to control the fields in which it grew. The average bota plant was distinguished by a fruity body that grew low to the ground. The majority of the plant existed beneath the surface, obtaining moisture and nutrients from the soil. As the battle for control of Drongar raged on, the planet itself continued its own mutagenic evolution. It was discovered that, within just a few months, the bota plant would mutate away from its current state, and be rendered useless as a medicinal drug. News of this mutation reached the Separatists first, and their forces abandoned their tactics and launched an all-out war against the Republic's forces. It was just before the final battle that Jedi Padawan Barriss Offee discovered that bota seemed to heighten her ability to contact the Force, allowing her to tap deeply into its power. The strength of her bota-enhanced contact with the Force reached all the way to Coruscant, where it was felt by Master Yoda. However, with the mutation of the bota, the Jedi Order was unable to investigate its abilities any further. In the wake of the Battle of Drongar, the Separatists acquired a good quantity of the surviving bota. (MBS, MJH)

this was the shorten name of Botha Ammunitions Corporation. (SPG)

Bothan
furry, bipedal race native to the planet Bothawui and several other colony worlds, they are political and influential by nature. They are masters of brokering information, and had a spy network that rivalled the best the Empire or the Old Republic could create. As a race, Bothans took great pride in their clans, and it was documented that there were 608 registered clans on the Bothan Council. They joined the Alliance shortly after the Battle of Yavin. While the Bothans generally stayed out of the main fighting, there were two instances of Bothan exploits. The first came when they were leaked the information about the plans and data on the construction of the second Death Star near Endor. A number of Bothans assisted a shorthanded Rogue Squadron in recovering the plans from the Suprosa, but their lack of piloting skills got many of them killed. The plans were recovered and brought to Kothlis, where more Bothans were killed in an Imperial raid to recover the plans. Again, the Bothans retained possession of the plans, and eventually turned them over to Mon Mothma and the Alliance. The second came when they helped eliminate Imperial ships near New Cov. It was later revealed that the Bothans were also involved in bringing down the planetary shields of the planet Caamas, during the early reign of Emperor Palpatine, allowing the Empire to burn the surface of the planet to charred embers. Although the Bothans searched for several years to discover the clans invovled, Imperial records were too well-guarded to provide any clues. Then, some fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, records were discovered at Mount Tantiss that told of the Bothan involvement. (ROTJ, HTTE, DFR, SE, SOP, AE)

Bothan
this was the native, spoken language of the Bothan race. (EGP, NJOSB)

Bothan Assault Cruiser
this warship was developed by the Bothan military, for use by the New Republic, shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. At 850 meters in length, the Bothan Assault Cruiser was designed to fill the mission profile of a Victory-class Star Destroyer on the front lines of a space battle. It was crewed by 1,240 beings, and could accommodate up to 250 additional troops and gunners. 5,000 metric tons of cargo space was provided for supplies and ordnance, and the ship was armed with twenty turbolasers, twenty-four heavy turbolaser cannons, ten ion cannons, twenty proton torpedo launchers, and four tractor beam projectors. Two angar space was set aside to handle up to four full squadrons of fighters. Its design incorporated some of the most modern technologies. (HT, SOG)

Bothan Chuka
this Bothan defense tool was developed to be held in the hand. It fit over the fingers and was grasped in a fist, with the primary surface of the chuka facing outward. The Bothan using it could then punch an opponent, and the chuka would discharge a high-power surge of energy when it struck the target. Because the weapon was usually reserved for use among the Bothan elite, during the era of the Great Sith War, any non-noble being caught using a chuka was immediately arrested as a spy and sentenced to execution. (KOTOR)

Bothan Claim Test
attributed originally to the Bothan people, this challenge forced a subject into a position where they either had to admit they were lying about something, or prove that they weren't. (TG)

Bothan Combat Response Element
this branch of the New Republic Navy was formed by a contingent of Bothans who were worried about the unrest which was sown by Imperial warlords in the years following the Battle of Endor. They were referred to within the New Republic military as a "micro-fleet," consisting of a number of advanced scouts and five capital ships, commanded by Kursk Mal'ia. The ships in the fleet - the Boash'ua, the Resistance, the Victory at Endor, the Hutt's Ambition, and the Ast'ria - were all on active duty at all times, ready to jump into a battle at a moment's notice. The value of the Bothan Combat Response Element was proven during the Battle of Kathol, when they were able to hold off the Imperial forces of Kathol Sector, while a ground team from the FarStar destroyed DarkStryder and Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne. (E)

Bothan Council
this was the primary govnermental body of the Bothan people, and was comprised of 608 registers clans at the height of the Galactic Civil War. Fifty-three other clans were petitioning for membership. It was later known as the Combined Clans during the New Republic. (SPG)

Bothan Debris, Incorporated
this Bothan salvage operation was established on the planet Caamas by Kursk Te'tell, in an effort to recover any equipment or materials that might have survived the destruction of the planet's ecosystem. Te'tell's operation was not entirely legitimate, and many believed that he worked more to cover up the Bothans' involvement in the destruction of Caamas than for the good of the planet. In reality, Bothan Debris was a front that covered up Kursk Te'tell's efforts to hide information regarding the bombardment of Caamas. Bothan Debris was based in a huge crater, located about seventy miles south of Refuge City, where the scraps and tatters of Caamasi buildings and cities were dumped during the clean-up effort. Te'tell leased the crater for 50,000 credits a year, paid directly to Refuge City, and a bulk cruiser arrived weekly to pick up the scrap. (WOTC, CCW)

Bothan Diplomatic Corps
this was the primary branch of the Bothan government which met with the leaders of other worlds, as well as the New Republic, to ensure that Bothan ideals were met in any alliance. (WOTC)

Bothan Discord Gun
this was a form of sonic rifle that was produced some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. It was developed for use as a last resort by Bothan dignitaries who traveled away from their home planets. (KOTOR)

Bothan Fade
this was the name of a naval maneuver that was originally executed by a fleet of Bothan warships, although many other races had similar kinds of maneuvers under different names. The basic idea was to bring a token fleet into battle against the enemy, while maintaining the bulk of the fleet - including the larger warships - at a safe distance, preferably hidden behind a moon or other planetary body. As the token fleet began to take damage from enemy fire, it would slowly retreat, ostensibly to place some distance between themselves and the enemy. However, the retreat was carefully executed so that the enemy's ships were drawn into the midst of the hidden portion of the fleet, which could then open fire on the enemy. In this way, the enemy would be badly damaged, while the majority of the fleet remained intact. (DN1)

Bothan Glitterstone
Jabba and Jiliac tried to bribe Admiral Greelanx with a large, flawless glitterstone ring. (THG)

Bothan Grain Wine
this Bothan wine was considered one of the most romantic of all wines, during the last years of the Old Republic. Many couples celebrated their engagements with a bottle of grain wine. (MJH)

Bothan Independent Treasury
this was the most prominent of the financial institutions based on the planet Bothawui during the last decades of the Old Republic. Much of the collateral controlled by the Treasury was stored on Aargau during this time. (BF3)

Bothan Military Academy
this military institution was founded on Bothawui, and served to train those Bothans whose callings centered on the defense of their planets. It was not highly regarded, however, since the Bothans preferred to do battle in the political arena rather than with blasters and starships. (WG)

Bothan Military Intelligence
this branch of the Bothan armed forces was involved in the acquisition of data about its wartime enemies. It was related to the Bothan Spynet. (KT)

Bothan Needler
this was a form of hold-out blaster that was produced some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. It was considered the state-of-the-art among the Bothans, and possession of a Needler was usually grounds for arrest in many non-Bothan star systems. (KOTOR)

Bothan Perception Visor
developed some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, the Bothan perception visor was an espionage tool that allowed the wearer to glean information without being noticed. (KOTOR)

Bothan Quick Draw
this was a form of hold-out blaster that was produced some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Many Bothans liked to use the Quick Draw as a way to eliminate an opponent without doing serous damage. (KOTOR)

Bothan Redrash
this disease was known to afflict Bothans and some other humanoid races, but was not always contracted by individuals in contact with it. (WS)

Bothan Runaway Gambit
this Bothan starfighter evasion maneuver was developed during the early years of the New Republic. It involved a large starship feigning damage and careening toward the attacking ships of an enemy blockade. If the attackers held their position, they would be destroyed by the "damaged" ship. If they fled the area, the ships following the "damaged" ship could break through the blockade to freedom. (SBS)

Bothan Sector
an area of the galaxy once "liberated" by the Empire following the Noolian Crisis. (TPS)

Bothan Sensory Visor
similar to a Bothan Perception Visor, the sensory visor allowed a Bothan spy to surreptitiously gather information about their surroundings. These visors were first developed more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor. (KOTOR)

Bothan Shrieker
this was a form of sonic blaster that was produced some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. It was designed to produce a blast of sound that was twice as loud to Bothan ears, thereby rendering a Bothan incapable of action for a long time. (KOTOR)

Bothan Sky Dragon
this was an endangered species of avian reptile. (JKG)

Bothan Spy Network
this elite group of spies and information brokers was of a caliber slightly better than anything the Empire - or even Black Sun, at its height - could match. Originally founded on the planet Bothawui, the Bothan Spynet was created to gather information on the rest of the galaxy, in an effort to further the position and stance of the Bothan people. The exact nature of the creation of the Bothan Spynet has been lost over time - it was even theorized that the founders blackmailed the Bothan government to fund the organization - but it took just a few decades for the network of spies and information brokers to infiltrate a large portion of the galaxy. The basic operating procedure of the Bothan Spynet was to gather information and sell it on the "open market" without acting on it. This gave the network's information a certain objectivity, which in turn enhanced its overall credibility. After the creation of the Galactic Empire and the institution of the New Order, the Bothan Spynet became strongly anti-Imperial. The already secretive nature of the network was deepened, as agents went undercover to infiltrate all aspects of the Empire. This proved to be a boon for the Alliance shortly after the Battle of Hoth, when the Bothans discovered the plans to the second Death Star were being transported on the Suprosa. Information related by Luke Skywalker indicated that Emperor Palpatine was fully aware of the Bothan Spynet, and actually planted the information for them to discover. This in no way harmed the reputation of the spy network, which continued to be active during the early years of the New Republic and invasion of the galaxy by the Yuuzhan Vong. However, the leaders of the spynet found themselves unable to initially gather information on the Yuuzhan Vong, since it was virtually impossible to pose as a Yuuzhan Vong to gather information. The spynet turned instead to the Peace Brigade for information on the activities of the alien invaders. (SSE, HG)

Bothan Spynet
see Bothan Spy Network (HG)

Bothan Stun Spore
this microscopic spore was bio-engineered by the Bothans for use in grenades. When released in large quantities, the stun spores were breathed in by any being in the area, causing disorientation and unconsciousness. (EGW)

Bothan Way
this was the term used to describe the philosophy and guiding principles of the Bothan people. It was originally defined by Golm Fervse'dra in his historic work, The Way. (AE, SPG)

Bothan Whale
this trans-oceanic shuttle was owned by Edan Spaceways, and commanded by J.M. Harrin at the height of the New Order. The shittle was nearly destroyed when Imperial forces attacked it, hoping to kill agents of the rebel underground who had fled Fortuna City. (IAG)

Bothan's Planet
a planet that was mined extensively for its native ores, including lidium. The Empire tried to kill Tiree there, when he was recruiting support for the Alliance. A group of Alliance operatives was nearly killed along with Tiree, but they later rescued him from Questal. (RPG, GCQ)

Bothawui
the Bothan homeworld, Bothawui was the third and primary planet in the Both System. Sometimes known as Bothawui Proper, it was a cosmopolitan planet which is a major hub for information trafficking. The Bothan spy network has been decsribed as second to none, and much of the information is possesses flows through Bothawui. Note that Specter of the Past indicates that the Bothawui system is located "millions of kilometers from anywhere." It was here that many of the alien races of the New Republic gathered their warships during the Caamas Incident, representing their own opinions and hoping to exact vengeance on the Bothans involved in the destruction of Caamas. (DFR, SE, SOP, VOF, SPG, SWJ3)

Bothawui Proper
this was the Imperial name for the planet Bothawui. (SWJ3)

Bothehl Desert
this vast desert was located on the planet Beheboth. (PH)

Bothese
this was another name for the Bothan language of the Bothans. (LFC, WOTC)

BothiCorp
this corporation produced a number of tools which were used to bypass starship security systems, such as the VoiceBox. (SWJ13)

Bothu, Z'meer
this woman was one of the many Jedi Masters who remained at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the height of the Clone Wars. Master Bothu was distinguished by her facial makeup, which included a bow-shaped ribbon of red paint across the bridge of her nose. After the death of Master T'chooka D'oon at Vandos, Bothu agreed to take Flynn Kybo as her Padawan. She struggled to calm Kybo's desire to hunt down Grievous, and spent her initial hours with Kybo simply meditating on the Force. It was during one period of meditation that Bothu overheard Kybo discussing a plan to hunt down Grievous with Jedi Master B'dard Tone. Although she didn't try to stop Kybo from leaving, she made sure he understood that he might ne ostracized from the Jedi Order for the attempt. (SWGG)

Botiq
this was one of the largest on-line shopping networks established on the HoloNet, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN4)

Botiv

Botlat Rej
this small-time criminal was wanted by the Coruscant police force in connection to the deaths of three Senators, caused by the vandalism of Ninopas Orocc just prior to the Battle of Naboo. (BH)

Boto del ibn Garl
this Sullustan was one of the few members of his race to achieve a position of power on the Vaufthau Processing Industries corporate ladder. He earned his position as the Local Adminsitrator of Vaufthau's operations on Goroth Prime, during the height of the New Order, because of his drive and determination to make the operation successful. Vaufthau was the smallest of the four major corporations with interests on Goroth Prime, but Garl never failed to achieve his goals.

Bo'tous
this bioweapon was developed by the Yuuzahan Vong, and was based on the original coomb spore virus. The bo'tous was a tiny, beetlelike creature that was designed to be carried in a host for its gestation period, then expelled in several breaths. Nom Anor had planned to destroy the Jedi Knights by having the priestess Elan pose as a hostage so that she could gain audience with the Jedi. Elan allowed a colony of the spores to be implanted in her chest. When they reached maturing, she could expel them in four controlled breaths. The bo'tous was much more virulent than the coomb spore, killing both Yuuzhan Vong and humans in mere minutes. The bo'tous grew rapidly in the presence of oxygen. Also, as the spores consumed their victims, they produced offspring in the form of infected mites. These flying mites would then attempt to find a new host, thereby spreading the disease. Unfortunately, the mites only lived for a few seconds before expiring. In the end, Elan was unable to exhale her spores in the presence of the Jedi, and instead was killed herself when she inhaled it. Elan's familiar, Vergere, provided a form of antidote to the original coomb spore to Han Solo before she disappeared. The antidote helped Mara Jade Skywalker return to health. (HT, NJOSB)
