Panthac
a carnivorous, predatory creature native to Mantessa, the panthac was a small but strong beast. They averaged less than a meter in length, but had sharp claws and mottled or striped coloring. The exact coloration of the panthac served to blend it into its surroundings, and the mane of hair around its neck serves to break up its appearance. Panthacs are fearless creatures which hunted in large packs, so as to bring down prey much larger than any individual. (TLC, TTSB, SWJ7, ANT)

Pantol
this fish was native to the shallow oceans of Vaynai, and was feared because of its poisonous defense system. The body of the pantol was protected by a mass of sharp, brittle spines, which were hollow and contained a dangerous toxin. When a predator or unsuspecting being was punctured by one or more of these spines, they broke off inside the flesh, releasing the toxin into the victim's bloodstream. This toxin caused paralysis in short order, allowing the slow-moving pantol to escape. (GMR8)

named for the way that half its back breaks the surface of the water when it swims, this creature is native to the planet Pantolomin. It can either swim with its long, fin-like farms, or it can move through the water on its side. When swimming this way, the halfback retracts its front fins and uses its tail for propulsion. These creatures were sometimes referred to as "living canvasses" because of the way in which they altered their skin coloration to suit their mood and posture.

When the New Republic warships Vanguard, Folna, and Indomitable arrived at Black Nine and tried to take out the installation, Par Drann used the familiar dogma of "the closest enemy is the greatest threat" in his approach to the battle.

Paradise System
a star system inhabited and controlled by the Ugors, it was made up of asteroids rather than planets. The asteroids themselves orbited a fragment of the first Death Star, which was flung into space when the battle station was destroyed during the Battle of Yavin. Hidden within the fragment, which was known as the Holiest of Holies to the Ugors, was a prototype gravity well projector. The projector mysteriously reactivated itself, and the power of the gravity well began drawing orbital debris and asteroids into the system. The natural effects of gravity eventually created the asteroid field. The Ugors, over the years, turned the system into a huge junkyard. The Imperial starmaps labeled the system as J21-Z65. When the Alliance discovered the presence of the gravity well projector in the Paradise System, they dispatched an assault team to recover it before the Imperials could find it. Without the attraction of the projector, the Paradise System slowly flung itself apart over the following decades. (GG4, SH, SWDB)

Paradise System Junkyard
this was the Imperial designation of the Ugors' collection of garbage and relics contained within the Paradise System. The Ugors were able to operate the junkyard, which appeared to be a very irregular asteroid field, under Imperial sanction. Contained within the Junkyard was a large section of the first Death Star known to the Ugors as the Holiest of Holies, a fact discovered by the Alliance agents who were searching for the Elusive. Within the wreckage was Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber and a spare helmet and cape once owned by Darth Vader, as well as the prototype gravity well generator that created the original asteroid field. When the Alliance recovered the projector, the Paradise System and its Junkyard eventually flung itself apart without the central gravity source. (SH, SWDB)

With the support of his comrades, Janq rebuilt his life and eventually formed the Paramexor Guild of Hunters.

Parcelus Minor
this relatively unimportant world was the site of a savage battle during the height of the Clone Wars. The planet itself was unremarkable, with only a few landmasses that were dominated by odorous swamp forests. These forests, however, were amazingly fast-growing, and the native populations struggled on a daily basis to keep the plantlife in check. Those who had visited Parcelus Minor often commented that the planet had "too much life" to be normal. The forces of the Army of the Republic were woefully unprepared for the scope of the Separatist forces on the planet, and were outnumbered ten-to-one before a rogue Separatist General took matters into his own hands. He ordered an orbital bombardment of Parcelus Minor, destroying Republic and Separatist forces alike in order to take control of the planet. The plantlife on the planet immediately caught fire, since it exuded the resin known as tzeotine, setting the entire plant ablaze in no time. (RDE)

Parck, Voss
this Imperial Captain was a member of a proud and distinguished Core family, and graduated with honors from the Imperial Academy on Corulag. He quickly earned command of the Strikefast, and later overruled Mosh Barris' command to wipe out an strangely inhabited world in the Unknown Regions, thereby bringing Thrawn to the Emperor's attention. Barris felt that Parck's actions cost him his career, as Thrawn was embraced by the Emperor and Parck was promoted along with the alien. When Thrawn was exiled to the Unknown Regions for a political snafu, Palpatine also banished Parck, demoting him from Captain to Commander and assigning him to the crew of the Admonitor as Captain Niriz's first officer. While Thrawn eventually returned to the known galaxy, Parck disappeared from active duty when Thrawn established a compound on the planet Nirauan. Parck remained there, guarding what became known as the Hand of Thrawn. (TFE, VOF, SWJ7, SWJ11)

Parella Jiramma Baco
this Hutt crimelord was one of Popara's biggest rivals during the last decades of the Old Republic. After the institution of the New Order, Parella became something of a business partner with Popara, working from his base on Nar Shaddaa when business required them to work together. Known as a shrewish individual with a nasty streak, Parella was an athletic Hutt who preferred to hunt whirlbats on Nal Hutta instead of lounging in the leisure of ill-gotten gains. However, Parella recognized that an alliance with the Anjiliac clan would be beneficial to his own endeavors. However, instead of currying favor from Popara, Parella focused his efforts on creating an alliance with Mika, Popara's youngest offspring. When Popara was murdered and Mika fled Anjiliac Towers, Parella decided to rethink his strategy, and chose to endear himself to Zonnos by hunting down Popara's killer. Parella was known as The Hunter for good reason: he was one of the few Hutts who actually left his lair to hunt down his prey, which was often the beings who had tried to swindle him. Using modified training remotes, Parella would locate his quarry. Then, wearing a full-body suit of Hutt battle armor, Parella would confront his opponents and challenges them to combat. The Hutt battle armor was as much for protection as for diversion, since many beings failed to anticipate Parella's speed while wearing the heavy armor. Tiny microrepulsors in the armor made it lighter and more manevuerable, allowing Parella to attack with vigor and force. (TF)
