B-Wing/E
this modification to the original Slayn & Korpil B-Wing design - known as the B-Wing Expanded - was first proposed by Admiral Ackbar and the Verpine after the Battle of Yavin. The B-Wing Expanded had an elongated cockpit that allowed a a gunner to assist the pilot on missions. This allowed the pilot to concentrate on piloting, and resulted in the B-Wing accounting for an increased number of kills in battle. It was faster and tougher than the original B-Wing, but was somewhat less maneuverable. There were two models of B-Wing/E: the first was simply a military ship, while the second generation (known as the B-Wing/E2) was designed as a personal military shuttle. Ackbar used one of these E2-designs as his own shuttle, which he was forced to crash on the planet Vortex after it had been tampered with by Terpfen. (EGV)

B-Wing/E2
this was a new version of the two-man B-Wing, produced for the New Republic shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. (HT)

B'wuf
this man served as a senior technical analyst aboard the Corpulentus, serving under Pors Tonith during the final stages of the Clone Wars. He had a habit of speaking with a slow drawl, which made it appear that he was choosing his words as he spoke them, as if he were afraid of saying the wrong thing. Tonith resented the fact that B'wuf refused to think of battles as business affairs, escpecially when B'wuf began questioning the battle plan for the capture and control of the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn, some two and a half years after the Battle of Geonosis. When B'wuf's protests became too vocal, Tonith ordered a pair of battle droids to shoot him dead if tried to get up from his post. After Tonith surrendered to Anakin Skywalker, B'wuf feared for his life - both from the Republic's forces and from Tonith's droids - but remained seated until Tonith released him. (JT)

this Ithorian vine was known for its beautiful flowers. It was easily transplanted, and was often used in celebratory decorations. (GCG)

BX-333
produced by Ulqib MicroTronics, this device was ostensibly a holorecorder. However, it went one step further than providing a way to communicate a message with a three-dimensional image. The BX-333 was known as a biorecorder, and was capable of capturing and retransmitting the sender's emotions and feelings via recordings of their brain waves and bio-functions. Many users claimed that the added information about the being at the other end of the transmission made it seem as if they were talking in person. (GFT, AEG)

this was one of the songs Skynx sang to Han Solo, Chewie, Alexsandr Badure, and Hasti Troujow on the planet Dellalt, during their search for the Queen of Ranroon. On Ruuria, the song was played at cocoon-weaving time to soothe the Ruurian larvae who were entering their pupal stage. It also served as a welcoming song to those Ruurians who, at the same time, were about to shed their cocoons and become chroma-wing fliers. (HSL)

By The Galaxy Itself
this was another expletive used by Lando Calrissian. (LCF)

Byblos Tower 214
one of the multitude of starport towers located on the surface of the planet Byblos, Tower 214 was known as the home of Bolabo's Garage. Most towers were used for many purposes, but Tower 214 was dedicated to docking starships. A simple calculation revealed that Tower 214 could accommodate up to 115,200 bulk freighters at one time. Inbound traffic approached from the north and south of the tower, at odd-numbered kilometer altitudes. Outgoing traffic left to the east or west, at even-numbered kilometer altitudes. (CRO, PSPG)

this tall, imposing woman served as the High General of the armed forces of the planet Typha-Dor, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When she learned of Mezdec's treachery on TY44, General Bycha had him arrested and place in custody. Although she understood the need to fight against the incursions of the Vanqors, General Bycha was loathe to start a battle if another resolution could be found. Her patience paid off when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker convinced Talus and Binalu to personally contact Van-Ith to negotiate a truce. (JQ7)

B'Yen
this Gorothite j'ber was one quite numerous, but their numbers dwindled continually over the centuries until B'Yen Do V'nel was the last surviving member of the original clan. (GSE)

B'Yen Do V'nel
this Gorothite religious leader was once a member of the T'B'Dellyi'Mai, until his beliefs went unheaded by its leadership. V'nel then split from the T'B'Dellyi'Mai and started his own militant group, the K'Len J'Bar Kasoon. His "grand task," which formed the basis of the group, had three main parts: making Goroth Prime ungovernable for the Empire, to incite the Gorothite people to revolution, and to rouse the "spiritual forces" of the planet to join the cause. His own beliefs were rooted in the M'Nes, the True Faith preached by the V'Sook j'ber, but he felt that the only way to pass the trials imposed by the Scouring and the Empire was through direct action. (GSE)

Byhdee Kees
this male Gran was a member of the RavinsBlud syndicate during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, and was also a death sticks dealer who worked for Sebolto. A bounty was issued for his capture by the Coruscant police force, in connection with the rise in death stick distribution that occurred on the planet during the years following the Battle of Naboo. The bounty was claimed by Jango Fett, when the bounty hunter traveled to Malastare to meet with Sebolto. (BH)

Byllurun
this was the capital city of the planet Sullust, during the early millennia of the Old Republic. After the SoroSuub Corporation grew to employ some ninety percent of the planet's population, much of Byllurun was simply annexed to SoroSuub for use as its corporate headquarters. In more modern times, it was simply referred to as SoroSuub Central. (GORW)

Bynarrian Jig
this was a form of dance performed by Alexsandr Badure on Dellalt, when his team was camped while searching for the Queen of Ranroon. (HSL)

Bynder Zebb
this Twi'lek was employed as a corporate scout by TaggeCo. during the last years of the New Order. He had extensive knowledge on the various creatures that inhabited the galaxy. Bynder also had no trust for droids, after a friend's M38 explorer droid rolled itself off a cliff. (MTSE)

Byrg, Tegist
this man was the planetary Governor of Glova, during the early years of the New Republic. Byrg grew up as the son of a street beggar, and apprenticed himself to a local thief. This early training helped him learn the necessary skills to build his own personal empire, and his network of associates soon elected him Governor. He was also a restaurantuer, owning Aramand's and the Orchid hotel. It was rumored that Byrg was a staunch supporter of Emperor Palpatine, and that he remained loyal to the Empire after the Battle of Endor. These rumors were eventually proven true by Robet Makina, and Byrg was removed form office when his dealings were exposed by a group of smugglers stranded on Glova. (POC)

Byrga
this Imperial Lieutenant was in command of an AT-AT walker serving the garrison of General Xarran on the planet Vryssa. Like his peers, he was killed when Boba Fett came to Vryssa to recover Rivo Xarran. The pilots who worked with Byrga detested his self-confidence and open disdain for subordinates. Fett used a magnetic grappler to reach the main body of the walker, then entered the cargo hold. He executed Byrga when the Lieutenant went to investigate the noise in the hold. Fett then executed the two pilots and took control of the walker. (TFNR)

Byrla, Horis
this man, a native of the planet Cularin, was one of several hundred natives who disappeared from public view during the years following the onset of the Clone Wars. Many people secretly attributed these disappearances to the Thaereian Military, which spent the nighttime hours removing an vocal opponents to its control of the Cularin System. (LFCW)

Byrne City
the capital city of the planet Demophon, located on the continent of Junno. Like most of Demophon's cities, it was domed to keep out the planet's harsh atmosphere. When the system's star started to go supernova, the domes became more than a necessity. It was linked, via underground tunnels, to most of the other cities on Junno. It was also the site of Byrneport, the planet's primary spaceport. (SN)

Byrne, Tallus
one of the early aliases used by Han Solo, during his tenure with Garris Shrike. (TPS)

Byrom
this aging man was once a soldier, until he left the life of a military man and settled on Molavar with his wife, Ensa, several years before the Battle of Naboo. Byrom had fought in more than his fair share of battles, and the cybernetic prosthesis that replaced his left leg served as a constant reminder of his service. He had fought both alongside and against the Jedi, but knew enough about them to count them among the few beings he trusted in the galaxy. Upon retiring, Byrom and Ensa both wanted to live a simpler life, and moisture farming on Molavar provided them with a chance to escape from the chaos of military life. They lived happily for a while, until Sleeth started demanding protection money from the neigboring moistures farms. Byrom had all he could do to provide for himself and Ensa, without having to worry about Sleeth's predations. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Byrom was surprised to find Darca Nyl on his land. The former soldier had stepped on one of the landmines protecting Byrom's land, and Byrom decided that Darca was not going to cause him any trouble. He welcomed Nyl into his home, only to have the Jedi interfere in his dealings with Sleeth. Although he vowed to defend his homestead, Byrom feared that he would be no match for Sleeth's small army. He was therefore surprised when Nyl arranged for Tooth and his band of nomads to appear on Byrom's farm, shortly after Sleeth and Magon arrived to demand the deed to the farm. Tooth's nomads far outnumbered Magon's forces, and the crimelord was forced to retreat back to Malcraan. Byrom was happy to have Tooth's help and support, and gladly allowed Tooth's nomads to make their home on his lands. (T23)

Byrothsis
this unusual, crystalline mineral was extremely rare. In ancient times, a Jedi Knight would sometimes use a byrothsis crystal in the construction of their lightsaber. In more modern times, byrothsis was used to build infrared camera lenses, but its high price forced camera manufacturers to charge large sums of credits for their cameras. ResSystems discovered how to create synthetic byrothsis, and allowed the use of the element in more esoteric applications. (CFG, KOTOR2)

Byrt
this public starferry was one of the many starships trapped on Coruscant when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the planet, some two years after their initial invasion of the galaxy. In the chaof of the evacuation efforts, C-3PO and Ben Skywalker were separated from Han and Leia Organa Solo, who had been trying to reach the Millennium Falcon. The droid was bustled aboard the Byrt with Ben in his arms, and only a valiant rescue effort by Lando Calrissian managed to keep Ben from being captured by the Yuuzhan Vong. (SBS)

Byss
this planet was located in the Deep Core, and was incredibly strong with the Dark Side of The Force. Originally used as a private retreat for the Emperor Palpatine, it was touted as a paradise. Much of its surface was covered with tranquil lakes, and it was lit with an unusual blue-green sunlight. Thus, Palpatine was able to get millions of people to voluntarily bring their life energies to the planet. Once they were there, Palpatine enslaved them by using the Dark Side of the Force, feeding the growing evil that existed on the planet. He then built it into a model of a society that was ruled by the Dark Side. The reborn Emperor used the planet as his stronghold for his cloning activities, and for the source of his power during his resurrection. However, the decades of existence within the grip of the Dark Side of the Force took its toll on the planet's ecosystem, which eventually transformed into an eerie environment that literally glowed with energy when seen from orbit. At the height of Emperor Palpatine's rule, Byss was protected by an entire sector fleet that patrolled the Byss Security Zone. Byss was destroyed when the New Republic launched an assault on the Emperor's stronghold, shortly after the destruction of Da Soocha V. In the midst of the attack, the Emperor ordered his fleets back to Byss to protect it. Unfortunately, the Eclispe II emerged from hyperspace too close to the Galaxy Gun and rammed the superweapon, cleaving it in two. The crew of the Galaxy Gun attemtped to fire one of its missile, but their targetting systems failed and the missile struck Byss. In a cataclysmic explosion, Byss tore itself apart, wiping out the entire Imperial fleet. Byss had a normal day of 31 standard hours, and a year which lasted 207 local days. The planet was orbited by five moons. (DE1, DESB, EE, EGP, PH)

Byss
one of the two binary stars that dominate the Byss-Abyss system. (GG4)

Byss
the primary planet in the binary star system of Abyss and Byss, and the homeworld of the Abyssin race. It is an arid world, with isolated pockets of fertile ground. The planet's surface is baked when it rotates in between the two stars in a strange figure-eight orbit. This requires that the Abyssin continually move to the more fertile areas. The planet's plant life has also adapted the ability to send out large taproots to collect any available water. (GG4)
