Zellone
this gas giant was the fifth and outermost planet in the Zel System. It was orbited by seventeen moons. (PH)

Zelmaadine
this searing ball of rock, known for its active volcanoes, was the innermost planet of the Velm System. (WOTC)

Zeloa
this planet was the innermost world of the Zel System. Zeloa was unusual in that it was a gas giant located so close to its primary star. It was orbited by fourteen moons. (PH)

Zeloc
this gas giant was the fifth planet in the Velm System. It was orbited by eleven moons and a system of debris rings. (WOTC)

Zelor
this man served as the Regent of the planet Velmor for twenty years, following the subjugation of the planet by the Empire. During this time, Zelor was one of Prince Anod's closest advisors, during his early political training on Velmor. He challenged Luke Skywalker, who was in the guise of Korl Marcus, to a duel, when Luke arrived on Velmor with Prince Denid. Rather than rely on Captain Traal's plans to have Marcus kill Denid, Zelor convinced Prince Anod to do it. Zelor then planned to execute Anod himself. However, in the attempt, Anod was shot and killed by Traal. Zelor himself set out to kill Luke, but was no match for the Jedi's strength and cunning. Zelor was killed in the struggle, shortly after Traal murdered Jedidiah. It was later revealed that Zelor had become greedy, and had set into motion his own plans to eliminate Anod and Denid, hoping to place his own family on the throne. (LTA2, WOTC, MC49)

Zelos
this world was the home planet of the Aga. (COJ)

Zelos
this white star is the central point of the Zelos System. This system is anomalous because of the proximity of a large, stationary gravity well near the outermost world of Rymm. The planets and moons in the system are continually pulled toward Zelos and the gravity well, although they have never left their orbits around Zelos. Travel within the system is extremely hazardous if the proper routes are not followed. (PG2)

Zelos II
this planet, the second world located in the Zelos System, is the homeworld of the Zelosians. It is a mountainous world with four moons. The Empire subjugated the planet in an effort to control the export of raw ores. In a marvel of subversion, it kept the Zelosians ignorant of the exact destination of the ores. The Zelosians were completely unaware that they were working to support the Imperial war machine. When the Battle of Endor signalled the end of the Empire, the Zelosians assumed the Empire had abandoned its base on Zelos II. However, the Imperials remained behind, hidden in the Valley of Umbra. The New Republic tried to infiltrate the base and eradicate the Imperial presence on Zelos II, which had been tipped off by a group of mercenaries. Unfortunately, the Republic's Red Team Five was nearly wiped out in the raid. The average day on Zelos II lasts 20 standard hours, and its year lasts 300 local days. It was rumored that the dead could come back to life if they made it to the Bare Forest, as several animated corpses were seen at different times of the year in several cities. It was later discovered that a species of wormlike creatures were scavenging on the dead bodies. Their feeding released chemicals that affected the nervous system of the bodies they consumed. In higher-order creatures like humans, which had been dead just a short while, this often fired the central nervous system into action. The result was that, for a short time, the muscles of the dead body were contracted automatically, sometimes resulting in enough motion to imitate walking. (PG2, TFNR)

Zelosian
an near-human race native to the planet Zelos II. The Zelosians guard a wonderful secret about their heritage: they are descended from an intelligent race of plants, and have a liquid form of green chlorophyll for blood. They cannot consume sguar, for it acts like alcohol in their bloodstream. The eyes of every Zelosian are emerald green, and are incapable of seeing in the dark. This night-blindness has created a species-wide fear of the dark, and remain hidden indoors after the sun goes down. The average Zelosian was quite superstitious, with a variety of beliefs which would seem ridiculous to the modern being. (PG2, AE)

Zelosian's Chine
located deep in the heart of the Great Zelosi Sea, the Chine is a sharp-spired ridge of coralline mountains that is surrounded by deadly reefs. Legends persist of a vast treasure hidden in caves at the base of the Chine, but have never fully been proved true. The legend claims that a merchant prince was traveling in his starship during one of the Sepulchral Night eclipses. The ship was dragged down by Zelos' gravity well, and forced to crash in the ocean. It landed near the Chine, with most of its base revealed during the low tide. The prince was unaware of the unusual tides on Zelos II, and began directing his men to bury the treasure in the caves at the mountain's base. The tide began to roll in, swiftly engulfing the prince, his men, and his treasure. Melks supposedly consumed the prince and his crew, and the treasure was never seen again. The problem with finding the treasure is that the only way to get to the caves is to travel at the time of the lowest tides on Zelos II. These only occur during the Day of the Sepulchral Night, and every native Zelosian hides indoors on this day. Thus, explorers must have a good idea of where to go before the Day occurs. When fully exposed by low tides, the Chine resembles the skeletal remains of a huge, spiny-backed beast. (TFNR)

Z-Elpi
an Alliance transport ship captured during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Zeltron
this humanoid race was native to the planet Zeltros. The average Zeltron had the ability to project powerful pheromones at another individual, and their empathic abilities allowed them to sense the feelings of other beings. As a people, the Zeltrons cared little for military force or planetary defense, but they were continually in top physical condition. Individual Zeltrons were easily distinguished by their deep red skin and their black hair, and they were characterized by their love of gambling and their ability to love other beings unconditionally. When a Zeltron was deprived of the ability to love or gamble, they usually resorted to violence, and were known to be excellent warriors when they had no other way to channel their enthusiasm. (EGA, MC70, MC96)

Zeltron Artistic Guild
this guild oversaw the export of Zeltron artwork to the rest of the galaxy, during the early years of the New Republic. (GMR1)

Zeltron Flute
this wind instrument was created by the mistrels and musicians of the planet Zeltros. (PH)

Zeltron Lute
this stringed instrument was created by the mistrels and musicians of the planet Zeltros. (PH)

Zeltronian Spiced Wine
Dengar had drunk too much of this the night before Jabba died, and so he missed the trip to the Pit of Carkoon. (DESB)

Zeltros
this planet, the third world in the Zel System, was the homeworld of the Zeltrons. It was located in the Stenness Node, not far from Ambria and Amara. Sometime after the Battle of Endor, both the Hiromi and the Nagai tried to subjugate Zeltros for their own empires, but their attacks coincided with each other. This allowed the meager forces of the Alliance of Free Planets to defat both sides, maintaining Zetros' freedom. The planet was located on the edge of the Outer Rim, near the Unknown Regions. It was orbited by a pair of moons. It was said that "One Zeltron was the life of the party. On Zeltros, life is the party." Note that the Planet Hoppers entries for Zeltros claim that the planet was located in the Inner Rim. (MC73, MC104, UANT, PH, GMR1)

Zelvahn
this planet, covered woth frozen deserts, was the fourth planet in the Zel System. It was orbited by four moons. (PH)

Zemex
this Imperial nerve agent was created in a laboratory on Coruscant during the last years of the New Order. The espionage droid known as the IT planned to use zemex to incapacitate the entire Senate of the fledgeling New Republic, as part of a plan to eliminate the Republic and reclaim Coruscant for the Empire. (AFA)

Zemphyr Defenders, Incorporated
this small corporation produced a number of anti-weapon devices, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GFT)

Zen Lotto
this Toydarian served as the chairbeing of the Grav-ball Federation during the height of the New Order. (CCW)

Zena
this was one of the most common names given to female Corellians. (GMR9)

Zend, Salla
an old flame of Han Solo's during the early years of the New Order, Salla Zend worked long and hard as a tech on a corporate transport to save enough credits to float a loan from a Hutt to buy her own ship. She started out as a normal merchant aboard the Rimrunner, but somehow ended up as a sumggler. She often referred to her ship as "he", bucking the centuries-old tradition of naming ships after females. It was during her career as a smuggler that she met Han Solo and Shug Ninx. They made a number of runs together, smuggling spice to the Stenness System and trying to outdo each other on the Kessel Run. Then, during a routine solo run, the hyperdrive onboard the Rimrunner failed. She would have crashed into a neutron star if Solo hadn't saved her. However, her ship was lost. Note that Rebel Dawn indicates that Salla lost the Rimrunner after she attempted to beat Han during a Kessel Run. She attempted to microjump across the Maw, and fried her ship's systems upon re-entry. The experience left Salla deeply shaken, and she took Roa's advice and decided to settle down. She told everyone that she and Han were going to get married, and starting making plans. Solo didn't want to get married, however, and he left her on Nar Shaddaa. After that, she began working on her new ship, the Starlight Intruder, with Shug's help. When Han showed up on Nar Shaddaa following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, Salla was pulled into the New Republic's web. She helped Solo escaped Boba Fett, and was again left waiting to see if Han would ever call back. As fate would have it, Solo did come back. However, she and Shug Ninx were forced to leave the spaceport after Han Solo destroyed one of their prized cruisers, and Zasm Katth and Baddon Fass ransack the garage. Because of the financial losses she suffered, Salla considered her debts to the New Republic repaid, and planned to return to Byss and recover the Starlight Intruder. Shortly after learning that the ship had been dismantled by Imperial technicians, Salla once again found herself helping the Republic. She was instrumental in getting her fellow smugglers to help cover the Republic's attack on Byss, and later helped defend the New Alderaan base from Imperial attack. (DE1, DESB, DE2, THG, RD, SWDB)

Zendra
this was a common name among the Umbaran people. (UANT)

Zenex
this Falleen crimelord was active during the last decades of the Old Republic. He set up shop on The Wheel several months before the Battle of Geonosis, and managed to attract the attention of Korto Vos. At the same time, he came into possession of a datadisk which contained a message from Nute Gunray, describing an imminent attack on the planet Kamino by the Separatists. The disk was stolen by Khaleen and turned over to Korto Vos. Zenex, however, was unaware that Vos had the disk, and when Khaleen contacted him to negotiate a deal for its return, Zenex agreed. Unaware that a copy was on its way to the Jedi Knights, Zenex met with Khaleen and told that he wouldn't kill her for the theft. Instead, he used his pheromones to attract her and persuade her to shoot herself. Vos managed to intervene before she could pull the trigger, and Aayla Secura was able to confront Zenex. She gave him the impression that she was falling under his chemical spell, then ignited her lightsaber into his chest. Zenex died instantly, and Vos was forced to meet with his Neimoidian contact in order to complete the transfer. A nudge with the Force allowed the disk to continue its journey without any problems. (RS)

Zenji Needles
these small, thin needles were ostensibly used to decorate elaborate hairstyles. They are beautifully lacquered in a multitude of colors. However, these reinforced projectiles were actually deadly weapons when used by trained beings, and came to be associated with the Mistryl Shadow Guard. (SOP, GUN, HG)

Zenlav, Gustav
this man was a General in the Mandalorian Mercs, several centuries before the Galactic Civil War. Zenlav started out a a grunt shock trooper, but he quickly distinguished himself from the standard rank-and-file.

Zephyr-G
this model of swoop bike was produced by Mobquet some thirty years before the Battle of Naboo. It measured 3.68 meters in length, and was capable of achieved speeds in excess of 350 kilometers per hour. Designed for a single rider, the Zephyr-G could uncomfortably accommodate a passenger on the drive section. (X2, SWI64)

Zeplin
this was one of the many Victory-class Star Destroyers which were still active, as part of the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Zerek
this is the twenty-sixth symbol in the Aurebesh script, and represents the Basic letter "z". (SWM)

Zereldspidar
this Snivvian was the last of the truly evil leaders who were born from a twin-male birth. The breaking of the Blood Code gave him his evil tendencies. Zereldspidar was eventually defeated by Old Republic forces. (GG12)

Zerm
this tropical planet was continually wracked by typhoons and hurricanes until Renn Volz reclimatized it with his Ionic Ring. This first test of the ship's abilities was a resounding success, but attracted the attention of Captain Bzorn and the Empire. (CSWEA)

Zero-1
this was the designation of the Q9-series astromech droid used by Kyp Durron, during the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong. Zero-1 had once been owned by a Mon Calamari philosopher, and was purchased at auction when Kyp went on his own, independent crusade against the Yuuzhan Vong. Zero-1 never truly had its memory systems erased, and continued to respond to Kyp's queries with rhetorical questions and probing dialogue. Kyp later explained that the droid's name was a joke on the philosophical belief that all life can be reduced to the binary code of zeroes and ones. (DJ)

Zero-G Club
this was a dance hall located on Cloud City, during the height of the New Order. (GMR3)

Zero-G Troops
see Spacetroopers (SWSB)

a device found in many spas and resorts, this device combined an invigorating massage with a complete lack of gravitational forces, allowing a being's body to be completely relaxed and rejuvenated. (HSL)

Zerot's Point
this rocky outcropping overlooked The Puddle, and served as base from which Tilossa the Gotal protected the oasis and its town. Three old laser batteries were placed on the Point. (HAS)

Zerpo
this was a common name among the Toydarian race. (WOTC, UANT)

Zersium
this element was used in the formation of dura-armor and durasteel. During the years following the Great Sith War, zersium was used to create blaster rifles. During the era of the new Order, Strephan I'att and Daye Azur-Jamin discovered that zersium flecks, imbedded in the black body glove worn by stormtroopers, helped amplify the energy dissipation field they created for I'att Armaments. It also provided additional insulation and helped reduce thermal discomfort when the field absorbed a blaster bolt. (SWSB, TFE, CTD, KOTOR2)

Zesi Phinx
this ancient Anzati female lived on the planet Coruscant during the last millennia of the Old Republic. Although no one could verify her story, Zesi Phinx claimed to have been on the planet for so long that her kills numbered in the hundreds of thousands. To most beings she encountered, Zesi Phinx was an amiable young woman who could tell vivid stories about events which occurred centuries or even millennia before. Most of her serach for prey occurred at the Outlander Club, where she scanned the clientele for her next victim. This gave rise to the rumor that an Anzati stalked the Outlander Club, although Zesi Phinx's true nature was never revealed. (CCW)

Zeta 245698 Alpha
this was the access code required to enter the Sith enclave that was maintained on Manaan during the height of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)

Zeta Five
this Cha'a drone ship was owned by Ssk Kahorr, and was used to ferry supplies to, and ores from, the mining colony on Goluud Minor. It was the first ship sent by Ssk Kahorr to Goluud Minor via the Goluud Corridor. Loaded with supplies for the colony, Zeta Five came through hyperspace too close to Primus Goluud. The unstable star's gravity pulled the ship in and destroyed it. (GAS)

Zeta One
this ion cannon was developed by GenaTech, under the direction of the New Republic, shortly after the Battle of Endor. Despite its power, the Zeta One left behind a nano-scopic field of ionized particles, providing enemy sensors with a way to track the vessel what was firing the weapon. (SWJ6)

Zeta Squadron
the stormtrooper squadron sent to locate R2-D2 and C-3PO at all costs on Tatooine. Davin Felth was a member of the squadron, which was under the command of Captain Terrik. Zeta squadron destroyed the Jawa sandcrawler which had collected the droids, and razed the Lars homestead when it couldn't find the droids there. The final futility for Zeta squadron came when it failed to halt the launch of the Millennium Falcon. The firefight which ensued provided a cover under which Felth executed Captain Terrik. (TME)

Zeta Squadron
the stormtrooper squadron sent to recover Jix for Darth Vader. Jix killed all but one member in a barroom firefight, and managed to knock the last member unconscious. (SST)

Zeta Zero Nine
this frigid water world is located in the Wastes. Much of the landmass of the planet is in the form of treacherous islands, most of which are surrounded by unnavigable seas. The seas are dangerous because of three things: the intense tidal forces inflicted on the planet by its wide orbital path, icebergs, and extremely cold temperature of the water. An intense magnetic field limits the use of sensors near the planet, and no lifeforms have been discovered on it. The planet's day lasts 25 standard hours, and its year lasts 403 local days. Zeta Zero Nine was the site of Imperial Moff Jesco Comark's secret base, from which he developed the Death-Hunter cyborg assassin. (SWJ9)

Zeta-class Shuttle
this form of long-range shuttle was developed by the Telgorn Corporation for use by the Old Republic, and were originally planned for deployment aboard Victory-class Star Destroyers. However, with the advent of the Empire and the introduction of the Imperial-class Star Destroyers, the Zeta-class shuttle was phased out in favor of the Lambda-class shuttle. The Zeta-class shuttle measured 35 meters in length, and was armed with a pair of front-mounted laser cannons. It was controlled by a pilot and co-pilot, and could transport up to ten troops and 25 metric tons of cargo. Because of their mission profile, Zeta-class shuttles were given Class One hyperdrives. (SWJ11)

Zethan
this was a common name among the Chev race. (UANT)

Zethusian Plains
this area of the planet Kamori was devastated by a huge earthquake, sometime after the Battle of Yavin. The resulting tidal waves and destruction kiled hundreds of thousands of Kamorians and damaged several large cities. (SWJ5)

Zexx
a large, humanoid alien race from the planet Prazhi, in the Expansion Region, these creatures had pointed heads which are covered in scales. Long, curved tusks extend from their mouths. Their violent nature made them a perfect addition to a mercenary squad or a protective guard, and they were often found working for Hutt crimelords. (TOJ, TOJC)

Zey
this given name was commonly given to female human children throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Zey, Arligan
this Jedi Master assumed the role of an intelligence officer when the Clone Wars broke out. He was one of the early supporters of the clone trooper development program, stating publicly that "Intelligent humans don't need programming. That's why they'll always defeat droids." He was part of the team that discovered the development of a nanovirus by Ovolot Qail Uthan, and led the planning effort for a mission to capture Uthan on Qiilura. He was pleasantly surprised to learn that Etain Tur-Mukan had survived the mission, and was also impressed with the fact that she had grown during the period into a strong leader. In the wake of the successful mission, Master Zey and Padawan Tur-Mukan remained on Qiilura to help with the clean-up and to pave the wave for the Gurlanin to return to their homeworld as free beings. (RCHC, SWI84)

Zgorth'sth
this Mon Calamari served as a Commander in the Alliance's Intentions division, shortly before the Battle of Hoth. Zgorth'sth discovered the build-up of the Oplovis fleet, just before it was scheduled to attack Mantooine. With the Alliance's victory at the Battle of Endor, and the struggle to eradicate the Imperial influence, Zgorth'sth was promoted to Captain and took command of the New Republic's Department of Threat Assessment. (RASB, AIR, SWJ15)

ZH-25 Questor
a Starfeld starship design, the ZH-25 Questor followed on the success of the Z-10 Seeker. The initial design parameters for the ZH-25 were to eliminate the flaws in the original Z-10 design while reusing as much of the original design as possible. The ZH-25 added a pair of cargo pods to the main fuselage of the Z-10, doubling the amount of cargo it could transport. Weapons systems were also improved with the use of Taim & Bak pulse laser cannons, and shielding was upgraded with the use of a Sirplex P-12 generator. The Questor measured 22.4 meters in length, and required a pilot to operate. It could carry up to six passengers and 85 metric tons of cargo. (SS)

Zhaboka
this was the Zabrak name for the Iridonian double-bladed fighting pike. (UANT)

Zhaetor-zhae
this was the Yuuzhan Vong phrase for "the glory of the Praetorite Vong." (VP)

Zham Hlar
this was the outermost planet of the Thaere System. The Thaereian Military maintained a large compound on the planet, during the Old Republic. (LFCW)

Zhann
this natives of this planet were generally considered entertainers, and their animated, story-telling puppet shows were famous throughout the galaxy. (GOF4)

Zhanox
this planet was located in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy, in the heart of the Ivax Nebula. Known as a mining world, Zhanox was distinguished from many other worlds by its natural appearance. Nearly every square kilometer of the planet's landmass was studded with rocky spires, making the planet look like a huge pincushion. (WOA33)

Zhar
this gas giant was orbitted by two moons, Gall and Kile. It is located in the far Rim Systems. Secrets of Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire notes that Zhar is in the same system as Tatooine. This contradicts Galaxy Guide 7: Mos Eisley, but might indicate that Zhar is located in the Arkanis Sector. Also note that the Shadows of the Empire Sourcebook names this planet Zahr, and places it in Cadavine Sector. (SE, SSE, SESB)

Zhar Lestin
this ancient Jedi Master was in charge of training new students at the Jedi enclave on Dantooine, during the decades leading up to the Great Sith War. He was also one of the Masters who helped students with the construction of their lightsabers. (KOTOR)

Zharan Glass-snake
this unusual reptile was almost completely transparent, making virtually impossible to see until it struck. (BP)

Zhat Bug
a particularly onboxious species of insect. (COG)

Zhat Lah
this Yuuzhan Vong warrior was placed in command of the small fleet which defended the planet Fondor, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When he heard the request for support from the forces in the Duro System, Zhat Lah too several ships and jumped to Duro. Once there, however, he realized that the New Republic attacks had been used as a trap, hoping to lure as many warships to Duro and trap them there. This would have provided two benefits: the destruction of Yuuzhan Vong ships at Duro, and the recapture of Fondor. Rather than throw his forces into a battle which would only end in their deaths, Zhat Lah ordered a retreat and fled Duro. He reported his return to Warmaster Nas Choka, who did not execute him for leaving the battle. Zhat Lah was commended for saving the remainder of his fleet, which would be used in later battles. (FP)

Zheepho
this Rodian served as a Lieutenant in the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Zheepho was stationed on the planet Drongar, which did little to help his chronic case of smashbone fever. Something in Drongar's ecosystem awakened the disease, which had been dormant for years, and Zheepho spent a great deal of time in the hospital. (MJH)

Zhell
this ancient race was native to the planet Coruscant, during the planet's earliest period of civilization. Thirteen tribes of Zhell were united under a single, and coexisted for many generations before they were conquered by the Taungs. In an epic battle, the tide was turned when an active volcano erupted, spewing lava and ash into the sky. The main Zhell city was destroyed, wiping the Zhell out and leaving the Taungs victorious. Many xenoarchaeologists believed that the surviving Zhell fled to the southern polar region, where they buried themselves alive in the ice. Millennia later, explorers located these burial grounds, which eventually became known as the Ice Crypts. (SES, CCW)

Zherron
this man served as the Captain of the Guard, protecting the Khoonda Plains area of Dantooine during the years following the Jedi Civil War. Zherron was known as a man of action, but this got him into trouble with the local mercenaries. Instead of driving them away, Zherron's actions only served to make the mercenaries more active on the Khoonda Plains. It was The Exile who exposed Zherron's troublesome ways, after he learned that Zherron had placed surveillance equipment inside the many atmospheric sensors that were used to monitor the weather. Zherron was eventually removed from his position and replaced by Berun. However, Berun was even more inept than Zherron was devious, and Administrator Terena Adare eventually removed Berun and restored Zherron to his former position. (KOTOR2)

Zhina
this planet, located in the Koornacht Cluster, was the site of a Black Storm Command shipyard. It is one of the original twelve Duskhan League worlds. (BTS, SOL)

Zhir-Khan
this man served the Alliance as a Lieutenant Commander as a security and intelligence officer during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Zhir-Khan was part of the team headed by Alton Lochner, and was on Ord Mantell when Callandri tried to assassinate Lochner. (AIR)

Zho Krazhmir
this Yuuzhan Vong served as the Supreme Commander of his species, during the early exploration of the galaxy. Zho Krazhmir ordered the initial forays to Zonama Sekot and Bimmiel, and assented to the "acquisition" of Vergere by the priestess Falung. An ancient warrior, Zho Krazhmir received a new leg for his work in discovering Zonama Sekot, but the implant failed to heal completely. He later died in his sleep several years later. (DW)

Zhol kash dinora
this ancient Sith phrase translated roughly into Basic as "It is done." (PH)

Zhotta 3
shortly after the Battle of Endor, the Alliance held a galaxy-wide congress on this planet, to help decide what the fate of the galaxy would be in the wake of the death of Emperor Palpatine and the destruction of the Empire. (MC84)

Zhul
this Yuuzhan Vong individual was a creche'-mate of Nen Yim. When the Shaper traveled to Zonama Sekot with Tahiri Veila, they found that they both shared memories of Zhul and another creche'-mate, P'loh. They discovered that Nen Yim's own memories had been stolen from her, through the use of the protocol of Qah, by Mezhan Kwaad for the creation of the Riina Kwaad personality that was implanted inside Tahiri's mind. After the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy, Zhul was assigned to the Baanu Ghezh as an apprentice Shaper. (FP)

Ziakas
this was one of the few Derriphan which survived until the era of the New Order. Typical of its kind, Ziakas sustained itself by draining its prey of their life essense. Ziakas preferred to feed on females of human or near-human stock, and avoided Jedi and Force-sensitives because it was nearly killed by a Jedi many centuries ago. Ziakas took up residence inside The Glow Dome on Adarlon, feeding on females who were intoxicated by the incredible light show. At one time, Ziakas preyed upon Kandria A'Daasha, the owner of The Glow Dome. (WSV)

Zibben
in a popular, though unsettling, Corellian fable, Zibben and his brother Kribben disobeyed their parents and set out to investigate a forbidden area. They were attacked and eaten by a group of wrix. (COG)

Zibben's Path
this was the name given to a section of the Agrilat Swamp Circuit, one of the most popular swoop racing courses of the New Order. It was named for the Corellian brother, Zibben. (SWGAL)

Zicreex
this Subla Ransom medium cargo hauler was owned by the Gamorrean sow, Captain Ugmush.
