Boultan
a Corellian Defense Force groundside Captain stationed on the planet Corellia, Boultan tells Micamberlecto that the Navy's shipyards are being held by the Corellian Imperialists, just following Thrackan Sal-Solo's move to seceed the Corellian Sector from the New Republic. (AC)

Bounce
this game of chance and skill was often found in casinos, during the early years of the New Order. Players fired a simulated weapon at a moving target, attempting to graze the target and make it bounce around an enclosed game space. (HSR)

Bouncebeast
this was another name for the Ball Creature of the planet Duroon. (EGA)

Bouncer
once native to the planet Ruusan, bouncers were a species of round-bodied, avian creatures who moved through air as if levitating. Their bodies were covered with greenish fur, and their long tails drifted behind them as they moved about. Innately intelligent, bouncers could not communicate vocally, but spoke to one another through a form of telepathy. They were connected to the Force, and often had dreams which revealed images of the future. However, bouncers could also be killed by dreams which were too violent, and many died in this way in the months and weeks leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. Those who survived were riven slowly mad, as they tried to offer comfort and support to the Jedi but were met only with pain and suffering. In the aftermath of the war between the Jedi and the Sith, the bouncers were all but destroyed. The bouncers who survived told of a prophecy in which "…a Knight shall come, a battle will be fought, and the prisoners shall go free." Many believed that this referred to the souls which were contained within the Valley of the Jedi, and the prophecy was proven to be true when Kyle Katarn defeated Jerec and his Dark Jedi in the Valley. Note that the Power of the Jedi Sourcebook indicates that it was the Ruusanian race of near-humans, not the Bouncers, who maintained the prophecy of the Knight. (JVS, RAG, PJSB)

Bounty Hunter Means and Methods: Comparative Psychological Perspectives and Quantifications
this paper was written by Soras Varn, and was first published in the proceedings of the Institute of Imperial Psychological Studies. It documented the wide variety of personalities and modes of operation used by bounty hunters during the height of the New Order. (GG10)

Bounty Hunter Wars
this series of events led to the fragmentation of the Bounty Hunters Guild. Precipitated by Boba Fett and planned by Prince Xizor, the Guild was split apart when Bossk killed his own father, Craddossk. This angered many of the elder members of the Guild, who renounced Bossk's plans and formed the True Guild. Bossk himself took many of the Guild's younger members and formed the Guild Reform Committe. This splitting of the Guild into two rival factions foiled Xizor's plans, however, and the two smaller Guilds eventually disintegrated. (ECH)

Bounty Hunters' Creed
this was the set of rules and credos used by the bounty hunters of the galaxy. Among the foremost of rules was that bounty hunters won't kill each other during a hunt. The Creed was eventually adopted by the Bounty Hunters' Guild as one of the most basic tenets of their organization. (SHA)

Bounty Hunters' Guild
this affiliation of most of the galaxy's bounty hunters and bounty-hunting organizations was formed during the Old Republic, and was controlled by the Trandoshan Cradossk during the height of the New Order. The Guild was originally established to promote a consistent creed of bounty hunter ethics across a normally lawless group of individuals, while ensuring that each of them earned credits on an equitable scale. Every hunter who joined the Guild was required to abide by the Guild's Bounty Hunters' Creed, and all Guild members shared in the collected bounties. There were several independent bounty hunters, including the infamous Boba Fett, who remained outside the Guild's membership and opted not to become part of its brotherhood. It was just these kinds of independent operators that Prince Xizor proposed to Emperor Palpatine as a sort of shadow-army. Xizor belived that if the Guild itself could be smashed, then the resulting freelance hunters who survived would be the kind of hardened mercenaries Palpatine could use to ensure the fringes of his government remained in line. After Palpatine approved the plan, Xizor worked with the assembler Kud'ar Mub'at, who convinced Boba Fett to join the Guild and work from within to destroy it. Their plans worked to perfection when Cradossk's ambitious son, Bossk, killed and ate Cradossk and assumed control for himself. This angered many of the elder members of the Guild, who renounced Bossk's plans and formed the True Guild. Bossk himself took many of the Guild's younger members and formed the Guild Reform Committe. This splitting of the Guild into two rival factions foiled Xizor's plans, however. (MA, SLS, HG)

Boushh
an Ubese bounty hunter, he was known as a level-headed hunter whose hand-to-hand combat skills were as formidable and deadly as the thermal detonators he liked to throw. One of his more unique traits was his obsession with learning as much about his employer as he did about his target. This stemmed from Boushh's distrust of other beings, and he considered it simply insurance that he would be paid in full when the job was done. He worked for Black Sun during the Galactic Civil War, but was caught trying to swindle more credits out of a signed contract. He was captured by Guri and eliminated, but his geared was kept for future use. That future use came when Leia Organa met with Guri, and was brought to Coruscant to meet with Xizor. Leia was given the bounty hunter's clothing as a disguise for getting past the security checkpoints without being recognized as an Alliance leader. When she escaped from Xizor's castle, she brought the gear with her, and later posed as Boushh, with Chewbacca in tow, in order to enter Jabba's palace and rescue Han Solo. (ROTJ, TJP, SE, SESB, RESB)

Bouyardy
this man served as the Chief Systems Engineer aboard the Aurorient Express, during the years before the ship was destroyed. An obese, balding man, Bouyardy had very little patience with other beings. When Madam Rhoden and Buck set out to murder Clode Rhoden, Bouyadry was unaware that a cargo of Fastlach-class defense droids had been smuggled onboard. He was also unaware that the ship's navigation and sensor systems had been bypassed in order to ensure that the Aurorient Express crashed into the core of Yorn Skot. When all the plots to destroy Rhoden's wealth were revealed, Bouyardy and Waverton decided that they had had enough. They allowed the core bomb hidden inside the ship to explode, as payback for all their troubles. (TAE)

Bovark
this Nimbanese clan won the right to be a prime data holder for the Bureau of Ships and Services, several centuries before the rise of the New Order. Their training in nimbanese muhndees led them to directly challenge another data-holding family. There was an implied threat of violence in the challenge, which brought down the wrath of the BoSS on the Bovarks and the Nimbanese. For several centuries, no Nimbanese clan was allowed to participate as a prime data holder, and many clans lost great sums of money and power as a result. This situation was later "repaired" by the Krovalis clan. (GG12)

Bovin
this small weapons manufacturer produced a number of laser cannon systems during the early years of the New Republic. (SWI80)

Bovit Leebo
this Rodian holographer was noted for his work in chronicalling of various Hutt criminal empires. It was one of these assignments which ultimately led to Leebo's death. He had been hired to take footage of Ka'Pa the Hutt, who believed that the footage would be used to glorify his empire. When Leebo's footage angered Ka'Pa, he had the Rodian executed. The footage fell into the public domain, and was eventually used for the "Hutt" entry in Riccix's Revised Basic Holodictionary. (WOTC)

Bovo Yagen
the third star targetted for detonation by the Starbuster plot. New Republic records recorded one or two habitable planets in the system. It is located near the Corellian Trade Route, but far enough away that a ship traveling to the system would need to learn the route beforehand. (AS, SC, CTD)

Bovo Yagen
primary planet in the Bovo Yagen system, it was named for the former Imperial Captain Bovo Yagen. Yagen had defected from Imperial service on Coruscant. The native Bovorians were at first wary of the new visitors, but in time came to appreciate his skills in diplomacy and trade. The average day on the planet lasts 28 standard hours, and its year lasts 386 local days. Bovo Yagen has a single moon. (SC, CTD)

Bovorian
this oddly humanoid race is native to the planet Bovo Yagen. They were a tribal species of stone-age technology when Bovo Yagen fled to the planet, but have since adopted the spacelanes. The Bovorian natives were so glad to have him further their development that they named all the planets in their system after members of his family. Bovorians descended from flying mammals, and retained vestigial webs of skin between their arms as reminders of their avian ancestors. The average Bovorian is covered with white hair, and their forms are slightly thinner and longer than a normal human form. Their faces are narrow and angular, with jutting chins and long sideburns. Their ears resemble leathery wings, and can be extended for better hearing. Bovorians can see into the infrared spectrum as well as the visible spectrum, and they use these abilities to actually "read" the emotions of other beings. This allowed them to deal with other species in a very patient and friendly way. Among themselves, Bovorians speak in a language of high-pitched trills and whistles which has been compared to the computer-based speech of the R2-series astromech droid. (CTD, AE)

Bovris Tapcafe
this restaurant and cantina was found on the planet Ifron. (MJEH)

Bow
this security agent worked for Salliche Agricultural Organization during the New Republic's attempts to drive off the Yuuzhan Vong. He escorted Han Solo on a tour of the facility on Ruan, during Han's attempt to rescue Droma. Bow later had to admit to his superiors that he had allowed Han into the complex, an action which resulted in the freeing of Droma as well as the shutdown of the control center which had been keeping the droid population immobile. (JE)

bow
this Shyriiwook word was used as the suffix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "bearer", "keeper", or "worker". It could be attached to a prefix by itself, or combined with other suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)

Bowbog
this horrific creature inhabited the deep forest of the Forest Moon of Endor. (ECAR)

Bowcaster
this was the traditional Wookiee's crossbow-like weapon. It was not a laser weapon, like a blaster or blast rifle. Instead, it was a projectile weapon that used a unique combination of magnetic acceleration and polarizers to launch a projectile at a target. Because the bowcaster was a single-fire weapon that required great accuracy to use, Wookiees were trained to be patient hunters who made the most of every shot. The primary ammunition of the bowcaster was an explosive quarrel, which was a small packet of energy that exploded on contact. More traditional darts and solid bolts could also be fired. These weapons are unique to the Wookiees, and were hand-built on Kashyyyk by the Wookiees who used them. The bowstring of a bowcaster was often made from metal-fiber cables, but the kthysh vine was often used as an emergency replacement. (SW, RPG, SWDB)

Bower
a bounty hunter native to Demophon, Bower worked with the pirate, Kasey, before the two of them joined the Alliance. He fell in love with Enid Vahr, although she was in love with Kasey. (SN)

Bowl, The
this symbol of the Cosmic Balance religion indicated a follower who lived in poverty during their life. The Bowl stood in opposition to - or in balance with - The Feather. The choice of which members of each generation held the Bowl was often made by parents, with the help of the Zanazi, and was governed by the Rule of Feather and Bowl. One child from each family pair - the so-called Child of the Bowl - was chosen to receive the Bowl, and was forced to leave Bakuran society and live in a communal Simple Home for the rest of their lives. However, as demanded by the Cosmic Balance, each Child of the Bowl would get to spend their afterlife living in relative wealth in order to maintain the balance of the universe. (TBSB, GORW)

Bowlump

Boz
this small, lizard-like humanoid was one of Ry-Kooda's lackeys. Boz held a position of relative power in the Koodan's organization, and was constantly ordering the rest of Ry-Kooda's employees around. It was Boz who delivered the news that Bar-Kooda had been killed by the Hutts Gorga and Orko to Ry-Kooda. The small lizard accompanied Ry-Kooda to Skeebo, where he believed the Koodan was killed by Boba Fett. However, Ry-Kooda emerged unscathed, and the two set off for Orkana, on Tatooine. There, Ry-Kooda was finally killed by Boba Fett, leaving Boz without a master. The little reptiloid tried to stand up to Fett, who promptly gave him a swift kick in the rear end. Boz's big mouth continued to run, swearing that he would someday get his hands on the bounty hunter. (BF)

Boz
this man worked as a customs officer aboard the Jubilee Wheel space station, in orbit around Ord Mantell. (HT)

Boz Pity
this planet was one of many worlds that saw intense battles as part of the Outer Rim Sieges, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. It was known to most beings as the Graveyard World, as most of its surface was covered with the graves of a long-lost civilization. The size of the memorial statues, as well as the size of the skeletons found just below the surface, was incredible, leading many xenoarchaeologists to surmise that the planet was once the home to a race of giants. At the height of the Clone Wars, the planet served as a staging area for the naval fleet of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Following the infiltration of the planet by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Master Quinlan Vos was dispatched to lead the forces of the Old Republic into battle on Boz Pity. (O, IS3)

Bozhnee Sector
this New Republic was busy fighting against a rogue Imperial Moff in the sector, at the same time that the assault was launched against Moff Kentor Sarne on Kal'Shebbol. The Republic was unable to spare any additional resources to hunt down Sarne when he fled the planet, forcing Lieutenant Page to take control of the Renegade and outfit it with a volunteer crew. Page renamed the corvette the FarStar, and placed it under the command of Kelemon Ciro. (DARK)

this Gorothite term translated into Basic as "Majority," and indicated the point in a Gorothite's life when they come of age and are considered adults. B'Pen demands that a young Gorothite, at about fiften standard years of age, adhere to the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of the adults. (GSE)

Bpfassh
a twin planet orbiting a star with the same name, Bpfassh was located in the Sluis sector. It was at one time the site of a Dark Jedi uprising during the last century of the Old Republic, and the natives had been distrustful of the Jedi ever since. This distrust was obvious during the Clone Wars, when the planet's inhabitants chose to remain neutral during the fighting. Despite this fact, the Bpfasshi eventually joined the Alliance and the New Republic. Following the death of Emperor Palpatine at Endor, Bpfassh was the site of Grand Admiral Thrawn's first major strike against the New Republic. It was also the site of a Noghri attack on Princess Leia. Its day was variable in length, due to the unique gravitational forces the twin pieces exert on each other. The twin planets also have a large number of moons. (HTTE, DFR, HTSB, JT)

Bpfasshi
this was the name used to describe the human natives of the planet Bpfassh. After the events that surrounded the defection of several Bpfasshi Jedi Knights during the Clone Wars, the Bpfasshi people came to distrust the Jedi Knights in general, a feeling that persisted even into the early years of the New Republic. (HTTE)

BR-0371
this Old Republic Senate resolution introduced a tariff on the trade routes in the Mid and Outer Rim Territories, ostensibly in an effort to obtain more revenue with which to operate. The taxation of trade routes eventually led the Trade Federation's blockade of the planet Naboo. (ECH)

BR-17
this droid was owned by Boba Fett, and helped the bounty hunter get near R2-D2 and C-3PO on Boonta. BR-17 befriended C-3PO and turned him against R2-D2, which provided enough distraction for Boba Fett to get near Thall Joben. BR-17 kill later crushed by falling machinery, as C-3PO discovered a bomb planted on Joben's speeder by Sise From. (DCAR)

BR1-Z
this ancient blaster rifle was produced by Core World Arms. (TOJC)

BR-23 Courier
this Republic Sienar Systems courier ship was designed well before the advent of smaller, more profitable starfighters. It was a durable ship, but was considered outdated during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Nevertheless, the Alliance used them as troop transports during the war, and many civilian shuttle operations found them to be reliable transports. The BR-23 measured 20.7 meters in length. A pilot and a gunner were the only crew required, and the BR-23 could carry up to 40 passengers or 75 metric tons of cargo, depending on the interior configuration. It was armed with a pair of fire-linked, turret-mounted laser cannons. (ROE, IA)

this Fia worked as a Vert'bo airship driver on his homeworld of Galantis, during the early years of the New Republic. He was one of the few members of his race who fought back against Stima Ardella and the Black Hammer pirates, since he believed that the pirates were drivign away the tourists who paid his salary. He spent much of his free time telling anyone who would listen about his eight wonderful children. (CCW)

Braceman Council
see Iotran Braceman Council (AIR)

Bracers of Najus
this ancient, Sith artifact was believed to have been hidden away beneath the Bleaks mountain range on Leritor. They were discovered by Profex Rynalla of the University of Sanbra, but she planned to use them for her own designs. The Bracers themselves were hidden in the wreckage of an ancient starship, where they had lain for millennia. The Bracers were originally created by the Sith Lord Najus, who hoped to use them to eliminate the Jedi Knights, and were unusually powerless if used against another Sith. Rynalla located the Bracers during her excavations, but the site was destroyed in a struggle and the Bracers were, once again, lost in the mountains. (GMR10)

Bracha e'Naso
this smuggler took over the operation of Plothis' business, after Plothis was shot and killed during a dispute with a customer. (TT)

Brachian Beastlord
this was the A'Mar name for the "mightiest of all gundarks" found on the pastoral moon of Lamus. Many A'Mar considered the Beastlord something of a legend, as it had never been seen or captured. This made it the perfect quarry for the coming-of-age ritual known as the Beastlord's Hunt, in which young men and women were required to search out the Beastlord and return with its head. The ritual wasn't so much about locating the Beastlord as it was about understanding what it meant to be an adult, and learning how ot trust one another. During the Beastlord's Hunt that occurred during the Galactic Civil War, a group of adventurers discovered that the Beastlord was, in fact, real. It seemed to be a sub-species of gundark of immense size, and was armed with fangs that dripped a potent poison. This poison was generally harmless if dripped on the skin, but if it was injected into the bloodstream, the result was often fatal. During the Beastlord's Hunt, the creature had suffered several injuries, and tried to drink from the Wellspring to heal itself. The adventurers, who had sworn to protect Olianna during The Vigil, were forced to defeat the Beastlord in combat in order to ensure the success of The Vigil. (WOA31)

Brachniel
the root of this plant is often consumed for its hallucinogenic properties. The brachniel plant itself is very hardy, and is often used as a second-generation terraforming plant that can be planted after first-generation plants like gomex moss have broken down the rocky soil into essential nutrients. (POT)

Brachnis
this is one of the three stars which anchor the Chorios Systems. (POT)

Brachnis Chorios

Bradan
this former Imperial Lieutenant served under Warlord Zsinj during the period following the Battle of Endor and the breakup of the Empire. She was an expert in covert operations, but was an imposing figure of muscle and brawn. Thus, when Zsinj made his attempt to steal the Razor's Kiss from Kuat Drive Yards, he asked Bradan to allow Qatya Nassin to lead the assault team because she was a smaller woman. Bradan held a small twinge of contempt at Qatya, but vowed to forget it if they pulled off the mission. (IF)

Brago
this Imperial officer replaced Adminstrator Fuguee at the Kline Colony shortly before Daye Azur-Jamin tried to infiltrate the planet. Brago was much less lenient than Fuguee had been, which explains the replacements. (SWJ10)

Brain Tails
this was one of the many derogatory terms used to describe the lekku of the Twi'lek race. It referred to the fact that small portions of brain tissue resided within the flesh of the lekku, most of which was used to store long-term memories. (SWI76)

Brain Tendril
this defensive mechanism guards the Charon starship Desolate's main computer node. The brain-like computer, when attacked, can extract several thick tendrils, each of which is tipped with a glowing sphere.

an addictive stimulant and hallucinogen. (COJ)

Brainpicker
this was a slang term used to describe a being of the Anzati race. (DRKN)

Brainrot Plague
this disease swept the planet Jabiim several years before the onset of the Clone Wars. Because the Republic did not send any relief to the Jabiimites, they remained bitter at the Republic and quickly joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems. (SWI69, RBJ)

Brain-setting
this was another term for brainwashing, or any imprinting of new memories and information in another being's mind. (HSE)

Brainworm Rot Type A
this disease broke out in the Manarai Heights district of Coruscant's Galactic City, during the year leading up to the Clone Wars. It affected Anomids and Wol Cabbashites most, although it was eventually contained. The brainworm rot was believed to have been carried to Coruscant by a Neimoidian, for that species was known to be resistant to the disease. Essentially an airborne virus, Brainworm Rot Type A attacked those species with high levels of dialogen in their bloodstream. Symptoms include nausea and dementia, and the disease could be fatal if not treated with clyrossa-themin. (HNN5)

Braith, Zayl
born in the Asamin System to parents who were prosperous traders along the Essien Run, this girl fell in with a group of smugglers at a young age. She joined the crew of Captain Thi Sawrtin, and was with him when the smugglers were intercepted by Gresia Vleen and the Tory's Catcher. After Sawrtin was executed, Zayl was thrown into prison on Rol Two. She managed to escape, and went to work for Tiron Til. When the Sullustan decided to start working toward monopolizing the spice trade within the Asamin System, Zayl decided not to work for Zil out of loyalty to her former comrades. She was then contacted by her cousin Callandri, who offered her a position within the Granse Confederacy. Zayl turned from smuggler to bounty hunter, and worked with her cousin to hunt down Alliance personnel. (AIR)

Brak Sector

Brak Sector News
this news agency covered the events that unfolded in Brak Sector. (SWJ8)

Brakiss
a former student at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, Brakiss was fairly gifted with the Force. Brakiss was stolen from his family by the Imperial forces that occupied his homeworld of Msst, recognizing his potential for using the Force. He was reonditioned, and was later employed as a spy, sent to determine the extend of the threat posed by the renewal of the Jedi Knights under Luke Sywalker. When Luke sent Brakiss on an illusionary quest, Brakiss could not reconcile the Light and Dark Sides of the Force, represented by Luke's Academy and the Empire. He fled Yavin 4, and went into hiding until he was discovered by Dolph, another of the failed students of Skywalker's praxeum. Dolph had renamed himself Kuellar, and was developing his own scheme to take control of the galaxy. He set up Brakiss on Telti, overseeing an automated droid construction facility. Brakiss' droids were implanted with detonators that could be set off via a remote control help by Dolph/Kuellar. Dolph also used Brakiss as a way to lure Luke to Almania, where he planned to used Skywalker as bait. Brakiss fled back to Telti, where he hid among his droids. In the meantime, Brakiss' mother encountered Luke on Msst, and explained that Brakiss was waiting to kill him on Telti. The two battled on the desert moon, and Brakiss nearly turned back to the Light Side. He failed, and returned to the droids. The secluded life among the droids was shattered when Cole Fardreamer discovered the link between the detonation in the Senate Assembly Chamber on Coruscant and the rigged droids. He exposed Brakiss' part in the plot, and Brakiss fled once again. He later set up the Shadow Academy in the Core Systems. He did so out of his deep belief that the Jedi were needed to help preserve the order of the Empire, not the Republic. Brakiss looked forward to the day when the so-called Second Imperium would overthrow the New Republic, and when his Imperial Jedi were able to defeat Luke Skywalker's Jedi. When a reborn Emperor Palpatine began controlling the Second Imperium, Brakiss gladly bowed to his true master’s rule. However, the Emperor’s solitary nature and lack of respect for Brakiss’ accomplishments disillusioned him. He became frustrated with the Emperor when he arrived at the Shadow Academy, shortly before the attack on Kashyyyk. After the deaths of Vonnda and Ra and Garowyn in the Kashyyyk jungles, Brakiss declared the mission a success because of the computer components they had stolen. He felt that the loss of the two Nightsisters was an accepted loss. In the wake of the raid on Kashyyyk, the Shadow Academy began gearing up for an attack on Yavin 4. Spurred on by Palpatine’s commands, Brakiss and Tamith Kai invaded the Jedi Academy’s defenses and nearly defeated Luke’s students. However, several setbacks suffered by Tamith Kai and Brakiss’ Dark Jedi turned the battle in favor of the Jedi, and Brakiss appealed to Palaptine for direction. He discovered, though, that there was no Palpatine. The appearance of the Emperor was being perpetrated by four former Imperial Royal Guards. The Dark Side of the Force flooded Brakiss, and he quickly dispatched three of the four guards. The fourth escaped the Shadow Academy, but not before setting off the station’s self-destruct systems. Brakiss was unable to escape from the doomed station, and died in the explosion. Brakiss was distinguishable by his smooth skin, blond hair, and the uncanny perfection. (HTF, SA, TNR, DK, JUS, NEGC)
