Bricker, Grov
this Corellian pirate was known for his memoirs, Planet of the Amazons: The Tale of the Pirate Ship Mourning Glory, which documented his treatment after he was captured by a group of Hapan women shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Many criticized the work as nothing more than a glorified romance novel, since it contained gratuitous depictions of the Hapan women as "amazons" who took all manner of liberties with their male prisoners. According to Bricker, the Mourning Glory was captured in the Transitory Mists and brought to Hapes, where the ship was impounded and the crew imprisoned. Bricker himself was held in a dungeon with his First Mate, the Hapan male known as Kelan Faal. When the pair refused to divulge any knowledge that they had of Prince Isolder's whereabouts, they were sentenced to be executed. Bricker began to panic, but Kelan Faal remained sure that they would not be killed. This was little consolation to Bricker, who feared for life and those of his crew. On the morning of the execution, Bricker was stunned to discover that his First Mate was actually Prince Isolder himself. Although this explained his belief that they wouldn't be shot, the Queen Mother wanted nothing to do with her son's secret life as a pirate. She nearly had them executed, until Lady Elliar helped Isolder by throwing him a gun of command. Isolder used the gun to force the Queen Mother into freeing the pirates, but she shook off its effects and forced Isolder to remain on Hapes. Bricker, finding himself free, tried to bargain for Isolder's freedom, but resigned himself to rejoining his crew and fleeing the Hapes Cluster altogether.

One of the first things Quarlo did was rename the planet Bridin Anchorage. His takeover came just after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, and coincidence allowed him to use real events to his own needs.

During the period following the Battle of Hoth, she and Luke Skywalker shared a mutual attraction for each other during their service at the Alliance base on Arbra. Their attraction blossomed into something more, until they were both chosen to pilot modified TIE Fighters on a mission to infiltrate Admiral Giel's armada and destroy the teezl they had captured. Luke managed to destroy the teezl and badly damage Giel's flagship, but in the heat of battle he mistakenly shot down Shira's TIE Fighter. Luke had used the Force to determine whether the ship was a friend or a foe, and his instincts told him to shoot. In the end, the destruction of her TIE Fighter allowed Shira to return to Imperial services, and made Luke Skywalker a pariah in the eyes of the Alliance. Note that this character is initially referred to as Shira Brei in issue 56 of the Marvel Comics Star Wars series. (LTA3, MC56, SWDB, MC61)

Brie, Shira Elan Colla

Her skills and loyalty were without question, and so she was chose as an operative trainee. The Emperor's scientists biologically altered her body's defenses, making her pain threshold extremely high and giving her an accelerated healing rate. Following the Battle of Yavin, Vader provided her a false history using the alias Shira Brie, and placed her on the planet Shalyvane, were she quickly infiltrated the Alliance while posing as a refugee. She became a fighter pilot, and was involved in the mission to destroy the teezl being carried back to Coruscant by Admiral Giel. She flew a disguised TIE Fighter, but was mistakenly shot down by Luke Skywalker at the end of the mission. She was assumed dead in the attack, but her altered physiology kept her alive long enough for Darth Vader to rescue her and return her to Coruscant, where she was fitted with cybernetic prosthetics to replaced damaged limbs. Shortly thereafter, Vader again recommended Shira for advanced training, this time in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force. Vader managed to hide the fact that he was trainined Shira by proposing that Emperor Palpatine used her as one of his Emperor's Hands. Shira took to her new training readily, and soon afterward, Shira Elan Colla Brie ceased to exist. In her place was the Dark Jedi, Lumiya. Instead of a lightsaber, Lumiya constructed new weapon called the lightwhip, which was more powerful than the lightsaber. (SWG3, ECH, GMR5, MC56, MC61)

this Alliance transport ship was the last to evacuate Echo Base following the Battle of Hoth. As it lifted off from the ice world, it was disabled by Zuckuss and 4-LOM, who had entered the system to respond to the bounty on Han Solo.

The Bright Hope was then further disabled by one of the Imperial Star Destroyers in the system, and drifted without power. Eighteen members of the crew escaped in three operable life pods, and Toryn Farr was able to rescue the rest of the passengers, with the help of Zuckuss and 4-LOM.

Bright Seeker
this scout ship was part of the fleet maintained by House Calipsa during the height of the New Order. It was placed in the command of Nils Wender, so that Wender and his merchant crew could scout new trade routes through Tapani Sector. It was armed with a single heavy laser cannon and a twin blaster cannon. This weaponry proved enough to deter the shipjacking efforts of the Knife's Edge, allowing Captain Wender enough to jump into hyperspace and escape. The jump was poorly calculated, and the Bright Seeker ended up in a remote region of space. Luckily for the crew, it ended up in the vicinity of the Regal Destiny. (TSIA)

Bright Tree Village
located on the forest moon of Endor, this Ewok village typified the Ewoks' civilization. It was located fifty meters above the forest floor, in the great Father Trees. A center, massive tree dominated the village, and was the tree for which the village was named. Like most Ewok villages, it was arranged in such a way as to ensure stability within the tribe. Unmarried, adult males lived in the lowest levels of the trees, often outside the village proper, in order to protect the village from invaders. Unmarried females of high status lived in the upper reaches of the village. The mid-level structures were dedicated to communal activities, with the very center being set aside for the tribe's leaders and ceremonial platforms. Families lived on the outer edge of the middle level. Food and other supplies were stored well above homes and dwellings, to ensure that they were not accessible by invaders. Access to the village was via stairways that wound around the trunks of individual trees, while movement between trees was facilitated by rope bridges, walkways, and swings. Leadership of Bright Tree Village was, like other Ewok settlements, split between the tribal chief and a shaman. A council of elders provided assistance. (DFRSB, IWST, GORW)
