Bandorian Colonies
these colonies were wiped out by an outbreak of the Candorian plague. The epidemic was contained before it reached beyond the colonies, and the plague was thought to have been eradicated. However, forty-six years later, the Empire unleashed it on Dentaal. (SWJ5)

Bandorium
this unusual, liquid metal was found in the oceans of the planet Bandomeer, specifically long the path of the Gray Westerly. Scientists and engineers working for the major mining operations on Bandomeer discovered that bandorium seemed to move about in "tides," which seemed to be controlled by the winds of the Gray Westerly. The exact nature of these tides was not discovered. Bandorium was used in many starship counter-sensor systems, and it was believed that it was also used in the creation of cloaking devices. (GORW)

Bane
this was one of the most common names given to male Corellians. (GMR9)

Bane Malar
this mysterious bounty hunter, whose species is not known, wore a black pressure suit with a spherical black helmet. The helmet's visor is mirrored on the exterior, so as to completely hide Malar's physical appearance. Although he was an infrequent visitor to Jabba the Hutt's palace, he had nonetheless put plans in place to kill the crimelord and take control of his criminal empire. It was rumored that Malar was somewhat telepathic. (CCG7)

Banelli, Org
this was an alias adopted by Senator Bail Organa, during his early years as Alderaan's representative to the Galactic Senate. Under the guise of Org Banelli, Senator Organa registered his XJ-2 airspeeder, allowing him to maintain and fly the vehicle without the normal precautions and intrusions of his support staff, or than of the Alderaanian police. He took the alias with him to Coruscant, and used it many times to travel without attracting unwanted attention to himself. (SWDB)

Bangcap
this small, explosive projectile was developed by the Dug race for use with a b'hedda swingblade. While not exactly dangerous, bangcaps created a huge noise when they struck a solid object. This sudden noise stunned most creatures, allowing the Dug hunter to slay them with the blade. (UANT)

Bang-corn
this special breed of corn was named for the sound it made when heated in a pot. Inside the kernels was a small amount of water that expanded as the kernel was heated, until the pressure from the steam caused the kernel to cook inside its husk. When the pressure of its expansion became to great, the kernel burst open, changing into a tasteful, fluffy puff. The noise created when a potful of kernels burst open gave this corn its name. (TME)

Bangor
this young bantha was orphaned in the deserts of Tatooine around the same time that Tahiri Veila's parents were killed, several years after the Battle of Endor. After Sliven found Tahiri, he also discovered Bangor, and decided that the two orphans would be given a chance to live and grow together. The Tusken Raiders did not usually name their banthas, but Tahiri was determined to give the creature a name. After Tahiri left Tatooine to study the Force at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, Bangor remained with the tribe on the chance that Tahiri would return and successfully complete her trial of adulthood. It was Bangor who located Tahiri and Anakin Solo in the desert of the Jundland Wastes and helped them return to the tribe's camp, just before the time allotted for the trial had expired. (P)

Banikou
this was a common name among the Phindian race. (UANT)

Banjeer
this Imperial Admiral served on the Imperial Interim Ruling Council. He was one of the few who believed that Kir Kanos would eventually destroy the Council, in the wake of the death of Carnor Jax. Shortly after Burr Nolyds was assassinated, Banjeer was found dead in his home, the victim of a knife-wielding assassin. It was believed that Admiral Banjeer might have been a native of the planet Anaxes. (CE2, CCW)

Banjeer
this man was the nephew of Imperial Admiral Banjeer. Known as the Boss, he controlled the planet Baramorra during the early years of the New Republic, employing bounty hunters to maintain control of the planet and it surrounding system. Banjeer later revealed that his control of the planet was funded by Grappa the Hutt. Kir Kanos, under the guise of Kenix Kil, executed Banjeer as a traitor to the New Order. (BHKK)

Bank of Aargau
this was the primary banking and financial institution found on the planet Aargau. In addition to handling nearly every aspect of financial transactions on the planet, the Bank of Aargau was also the primary driving force behind Aargau's government. In order to ensure the security of the trillions of credits held in their vaults, the Bank of Aargau established and maintained one of the galaxy's largest private armies, known as Bank of Aargau Security, Limited. (PH)

Bank of Aargau Security, Limited
this wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank of Aargau managed every aspect of planetary defense on the planet Aargau. During the height of the New Order, BAS was one of the largest private armies allowed to exist under the reign of Emperor Palpatine. Although most Aargauuns believed that the existence of BAS helped secure their neutrality during the Galactic Civil War, the reality was that too many Imperial dignitaries maintained too many bank accounts with the Bank of Aargau to allow the planet to be fully subjugated. The first and foremost mission of BAS was to uphold the Statutes of Aargau. (PH)

Bank of Aargauha
a Corporate Sector financial institution. (CSA)

Bank of the Core
one of the original signatory sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority, the Bank of the Core is one of the galaxy's largest financial institutions.

this Bothan served the Grand Army of the Republic as a Lieutenant, serving among the starfighter pilots assigned to General Solomahal on the planet Azure during the height of the Clone Wars. (SOJ)

Bannock, Hilas
this man, a native of the planet Yarnil, was trained as an officer for the Imperial Security Bureau. He was specifically chosen by COMPNOR for training after he turned in a number of his neighbors for seditious activities, and he eventually became one of the most successful operatives in the Core Worlds. A low-built, muscular man, he spent a good part of his career on Anaxes, searching for traitors or double-agents. (CCW)

Banolt, Lirin
also known as Bruhas Drey, Ran Nammom, and Kier Dom, this conman often posed as an Imperial Procurement Officer, offering exclusive contracts in return to huge bribes. He worked for Sate Pestage, stealing antique art and weapons for the Imperial dignitary's personal collection. Pestage was forced to execute Banolt, when the conman threatened to blackmail him over the location of the Eidolon, during the last years of the New Order. When the New Republic discovered that Banolt had been killed, they discovered that his supposed Imperial position did in fact have some basis, as they found an Imperial holonet transceiver among his belongings. (XWBT)

Bant
meaning "resourceful", this was a common female name among the Mon Calamari race. (GCG)

Bant Eerin
this ten-year-old Mon Calamari female was one of Obi-Wan Kenobi's best friends, during his training at the Jedi center on Coruscant. Obi-Wan remembered her silver eyes most of all. After Obi-Wan decided to remain on Melida/Daan and help The Young in their struggle against their elders, Bant blamed Qui-Gon Jinn for Obi-Wan's forsaking of the Jedi oath. Qui-Gon and Tahl later asked for Bant's help in searching the lake inside the Jedi Temple for a number of items and artifacts stolen by an unknown thief. Bant agreed to help, and was nearly killed by Xanatos and Bruck Chun. Obi-Wan intervened, and Bant survived being tied to the bottom of the lake. Bant was chosen by Tahl as a Padawan, although Tahl tended to leave Bant behind on the more "dangerous" missions. This angered Bant, who confided her feelings to Obi-Wan when Tahl set off for New Apsolon to discover the identity of Ewane's killer. In the wake of Tahl's death on New Apsolon, Bant initially held Obi-Wan partly responsible for not saving her life. Bant felt no peace in Tahl's death, despite her Jedi training. When she traveled to the planet with Mace Windu, Bant refused to acknowledge Obi-Wan's presence until both were sent out to locate Irini. Then, Bant began to open herself up to Obi-Wan, and they were able to renew their friendship. In the wake of Tahl's death, Bant was chosen to apprentice with Kit Fisto. However, she was among the many Jedi who were killed during the Clone Wars. (RF, HP, UP, TTB, CTV, JAF, LJ1)

Bantha
huge, elephant-like beasts with curving tusks, banthas were found on a great number of worlds with vastly different climates. The bantha was as much at home being used as transport by the Tusken Raiders on Tatooine as it was on grassy plains and frozen tundra. The bantha was domesticated on most of these worlds, and was used for pulling heavy loads, transportation, and even as war beasts. The meat and hide of the bantha were much sought-after. While the origins of the Bantha were unknown, every world on which is existed laid claim to being its homeworld. Most banthas bred in captivity were trained as beasts of burden, and most of those were bred for desert environments. It was believed that the bantha was originally native to Tatooine, as there was a wealth of fossil evidence of banthas existing during an era which predated most modern civilizations. There were at least three distinct subspecies found on the planet Tatooine: the common bantha, the dwarf bantha, and the dune bantha. Banthas used their dextrous, sensitive tongue as a sort of hand, pulling up grass and shrubs from the ground. Also located on the tongue were breathing and scenting spiracles, which allowed the bantha to determine an object without stooping or reachint awkwardly. Male banthas raised their tongue as a way to singal their readiness to mate. The distinctive horns of the bantha grew at the rate of a knob each year. Thickness and condition of the horns were indicators of the bantha's health and environment. Most female banthas achieved just a single spiral during their lifetimes, while a male may achieve two full spirals. Because of this spiraling, and because banthas butted heads in ritual combat, a pair could become entangled each other's horns. This almost always meant death for both banthas. Banthas traveled in herds of up to twenty-five individuals, led by the oldest, strongest female. A herd which grew too large was split, with the second oldest and strongest female taking the new herd. The average bantha could live more than eighty years. The banthas of Tatooine were known to form deep bonds with the Tusken Raiders of the planet, and often committed suicide if their riders were to die first. Banthas which died naturally were placed in vast graveyards, which held a kind of ceremonial reverence with the banthas. (SW, SWSB, DK, WSW)

this was a form of sweet, creamy butter made from the milk of a female bantha. (T)

Bantha Clan
this was one of the many "clans" formed by the Jedi Council to facilitate the training of young individuals, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Like other such groups, the Bantha Clan was made up of children of varying species between the ages of four and eight standard years. They trained in these groups until they were thirteen years old, at which time they were either chosen by a Jedi Master as a Padawan learner or given other duties outside the Jedi Order. (PJSB)

Bantha Graveyard
this was the Roonan name for the eerie patch of land near the Umboo Province, where the banthas of the planet Roon went to die. What made the area unusual was that starships flying over the area seemed to experience all manner of malfunctions, as if the Graveyard could affect sensors and navigation. After the discovery of Ogger Baobab's starship in the Graveyard, the Council of Confederated Provinces declared the space above the Bantha Graveyard to be a nof-fly zone until the mystery could be investigated. (WOTC, SWDB, GORW)

Bantha II Cargo Skiff
manufactured by Ubrickkian Industries, the Bantha II skiff was a sleek, pointed, nine-meter-long repulsorlift cargo platform. It required a single pilot, and could transport up to 16 passengers. It could also carry 120 metric tons of cargo. Its maxmimum flight ceiling was 50 meters, and the Bantha II could cruise at speeds up to 250 kilometers an hour. It was an open-air skiff that was piloted from the rear. Jabba the Hutt employed these kinds of skiffs when taking prisoners to the Sarlacc pit. The advertising for the Bantha II described it as "a skiff so easy to pilot, even a labor droid can handle it!" Maneuverability was achieved by a pair of semi-circular steering vanes attached at the rear of the skiff. (ROTJ, SWSB, NEGV)

Bantha Plains
this flatland, located between the Great Mesra Plateau and the Northern Dune Sea, was named for the banthas that congregated there. (IWST)

Bantha Raider
this was another name for the Sandpeople of Tatooine, based on the fact that they rode banthas across the deserts of the planet. (MC17)

Bantha Rock
a natural rock formation located on Tatooine, Bantha Rock was named for the way it resembled a bantha when viewed from Mos Espa. (E1A8)

Bantha Sqadron
this Imperial training unit was stationed at the Carida Academy during the years prior to the Battle of Yavin. It was decimated during a training exercise which was designed to test prototype MT-ST walkers. Shira Elan Colla Brie and Myrette Davani were hunting Bantha Squadron's MT-STs as part of a wargame exercise, moving through the mountains known as Tarkin's Teeth. For an unknown reason, Shira's training lasers had been replaced with actual working weaponry, a situation that was later blamed on "instructor error". All members of Bantha Squadron working in the MT-ST were killed, and the walker itself was destroyed. Their deaths were later described in Imperial communications as "regrettable casualties", and the surviving members of Bantha Squadron acted as if nothing has happened. (PH)

Bantha Traxx
located in the upper-class section of the planet Lianna, Bantha Traxx was established in the old Club Vortex building, and quickly established itself by gaining a wealthy and influential clientele. Owned by Yin Vocta, the Bantha Traxx contained a restaurant, bar, dance floor, and gift shop, all of which featured a desert motif located within traditional Liann architecture. The entrance to the establishment was well-marked, with a glowing neon bantha above the doorway. The desert motif was a nod to one of Vocta's favorite places, Tatooine, and lent itself well to the bantha theme of the restaurant. (WSV)

Bantha-456
this code was created by Anakin Solo, and was used to purchase the nanny droid TDL-3.5 from an online catalog. He had hoped to purchase the droid to help C-3PO, not realizing that he might get into trouble. The code was derived from the story The Little Lost Bantha Cub, a favorite of Anakin's. The code was discovered by C-3PO and Jaina and Jacen Solo when TDL-3.5 showed up to take over C-3PO's duties. (TNR)

Bantha-blood Fizz
an alcoholic drink made from clarified bantha blood. (TJP)

Bantha-class Assault Shuttle
this troop carrier and assault shuttle was one of the most welcomed ships ever added to the armada of the Alliance, and continued to gain popularity in the early years of the New Republic. Developed by Mon Calamari and Sullustan designers in response to the Empire's use of Sentinel-class shuttles, the Bantha-class shuttle created to fly in behind a fighter screen and the take a beating while delivering ground troops into battle. It landed on a gimballed monopod, giving it a small footpit while allowing it to carry and delivery nearly thirty tons of troops and armed vehicles into a warzone. A group of turbolasers manufactured by Golan Arms stud the upper hull of the ship, providing heavy cover for the troops which disembark from it. The ship requires a living pilot, but the pilot is assisted by a droid brain, and many of the pilots often banter with the droid during missions. These pilots often refer to themselves as "bus drivers." (XWMR, HXW, NEGV)

Banthal Company
this company owns an orbital docking array near the planet Taanab, which usually handles the largest cargo ships. (EGP)

BanthaQuik!
this restaurant, found in Lumchugger's Hub on the planet Bescane, was a legitimate front for the operations of the forger Lucky Ordomire. Among the delicacies served here are the Tusken Special (bantha meat shish-kabobs), Calamaria Surprise (exosquidra poppets), Ithor Delight (scrambled ooglata eggs), the Rodian Platter (deeply-oiler cranker roots), and Corellia's Pride (liquid-extract fringe cake). (SWJ9)

Banthar
an Imperial freighter under the protection of the shuttle Krayt near Bonadan when it was attacked and destroyed by Alliance starfighters. (XW)

Banthas
this was the name used by Luke Skywalker to describe the eleven- to thirteen-year-old trainees at the Jedi academy on Ossus, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The Banthas were the final named group of students on Ossus, since all trainees were allowed to build their lightsabers at the age of fourteen, at which point they became apprentices. (DN1)

Bantha-tick
this insect was known for that fact that it fed almost exclusively on the blood of banthas. (SWJ2)

Banthaweed

Banto, Kalista
this woman served as a crewmember aboard the scout ship Bright Seeker. (TSIA)

Banvhar Base
see Banvhar Station (SWGG)

Banvhar Combine
this collection of miners and diggers was based on the planet Bryndar, during the final years of the Old Republic. The members of the Combine worked together to extract the raw ores and minerals from the asteroids that encircled the planet. During the height of the Clone Wars, many of the Combine's members suffered emotional and financial hardships after a series of attacks by Separatist forces under the command of General Grievous. (SWGG)

Banvhar Station
this asteroid was developed for use as a space station by the Banvhar Combine, although it later accepted many natives of the planet Bryndar, during the decades leading up to the Clone Wars. (SWGG)

Banz
this young boy was one of a handful of Jedi Padawans who were captured and held prisoner by General Grievous, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. Grievous was able to convince Count Dooku that the Padawans should be used as part of a strange experiment that would marry the ability to tap into the Dark Side of the Force with Geonosian technologies. (SWGG)

Banzon
a food source found on the planet M'haeli. (ROC)

Bao Dur
see Bao-Dur (LAWS)

Baobab Archives
this was the immense library and archival center maintained by the Baobab family on the planet Manda. (NEGC)

Baobab Merchant Fleet
a starship transport company owned by the Baobab family, the Merchant Fleet prospered for many years before falling on hard times in the early days of the Empire. With the Imperialization of the Trade Federation, those merchant fleets that did not receive Imperial contracts - or curry them with incentives - were left to fend for themselves. The Baobab Merchant Fleet remained independent from the Empire, and was forced to struggle just to remain solvent. (TGH, SWDB)

Baobab, Ebenn Q3
this man was known for his work on the Galactic Phrasebook and Travel Guide, the immense phrase book he compiled to documenta wealth of human and alien expressions for use by travelers across the galaxy. (GMR5, HNN5)

Baobab, Mungo
a Mandan sent to Biitu to establish a trading post and a fuel-ore mining operation, he was a reckless adventurer whose family owned the Baobab Merchant Fleet during the early years of the New Order. Mungo was dispatched to Biitu by the elders who served as the Merchant Fleet's board of directors, who feared that Mungo's recklessness would prove to be the undoing of the fleet. It was just before his assignment to Biitu that Mungo assumed ownership of R2-D2 and C-3PO, after they were freed by Jann Tosh. When the Empire discovered the fuel reserves of Biitu, they dispatched the Great Heep to capture Mungo and take control of the refineries. While they were able to defeat the droid and reclaim Biitu, much of the planet's surface had been destroyed. After defeating the Imperials on Biitu, Mungo and the droids set out for the Roon System, in the hopes of locating the mysterious and valuable Roonstones. Upon arriving on Roon, Mungo found himself the target of Governor Koong, who had pursued him from Biitu. On Roon, Mungo met Auren Yomm, and helped her team win the Colonial Games. For his efforts, Auren gave Mungo a single roonstone, giving him the hope of finding more. Shortly afterward, Mungo discovered the "haunted" starship on which his distant relative, Ogger Baobab, lived. Before passing on, Ogger bequeathed six bags of roonstones to Mungo, as well as providing more information on where to find the stones. Before Mungo and the droids could travel further, they were captured by Koong and held by his henchman, Gaff. Mungo dropped the Roonstones in order to ensure their escape. He then ran into Koong's plans to destroy the Tawntoom province by releasing ther rooze germ, and Mungo was able to steal the germ and free the Yomm family. In the process, he discovered that a great cache of Roonstones was located beneath Tawntoom province. He tried to negotiate the return of his starship, the Caravel, in exchange for the Roonstones. However, Admiral Screed double-crossed Koong, and Koong destroyed the Roonstones' location. Mungo managed to escape with but a single Roonstone. This stone, however, contained the earliest-known text of the Dha Werda Verda. (TGH, DCAR, SWDB)

Baobab, Ogger
this man, a member of the Baobab merchant family from the planet Manda, was lost over the planet Roon when his starship experienced a malfunction and crashed. It was later discovered that Ogger's ship went down in the area known as the Bantha Graveyard, and that Ogger himself survived inside for nearly sixty years before dying of old age. Before he died, though, he managed to pass on his knowledge of the Roonstones to his great-nephew, Mungo Baobab. He warned Mungo not to chase the Roonstones for wealth, and urged the younger man to ensure that he maintained his friendships before pursuing personal gains. (WOTC, SWDB, GORW)

Baobab, Olgun
this man was a partiarch of the Baobab family, and one of the founders of the Baobab Merchant Fleet. Mungo Baobab discovered him aboard a supposedly haunted starship during the early years of the New Order. Olgun explained that he, too, had been searching for the Roonstones. Mungo was surprised to learn that Olgun possessed six bags fulls of them, especially after he had been unable to locate but a single stone. Unfortunately for Mungo, Olgun died before he could be taken into care. Olgun left Mungo his collection of roonstones and a survival kit. (DCAR)

Bao-Dur
this Zabrak was one of the many Iridonians who supported the Old Republic and the Jedi Order during the years following the Great Sith War. A mechanic by trade, Bao-Dur enlisted in the Republic military after witnessing Mandalorian soldiers attacking Iridonian colony worlds. In addition to being an excellent warrior, Bao-Dur lent his technical skills to the development of new shields and other technology. While fighting in the Mandalorian Wars, served under the Jedi General who was later known only as The Exile. Thanks to Bao-Dur's skills, the Mass Shadow Generator was built and eventually used to win the Battle of Malachor, during which Bao-Dur lost his left arm in combat. The limb was replaced with a mechanical prosthesis, which gave him added strength. He retired from active military duty, taking up residence on Telos. It was on Telos that Bao-Dur rejoined The Exile, during the search for information on Darth Sion. Bao-Dur's skills with shielding technogoly allowed The Exile to escape several desparate situations, and ultimately helped their group defeat Darth Traya and her fellow Sith Lords. It was Bao-Dur's droid, known as Remote, that reactivated the Mass Shadow Generator, causing the destruction of Malachor V and destroying the Trayus Academy. Note that this character is also referred to as Bao Dur. (KOTOR2, LAWS)

Baquor
this creature has a slimy, algae-like body. It inhabits the ponds of Glottal, and is a required element in Glottalphib ponds. (TNR)

Bar
this was one of the many Bothan clans. Membership in the clan was denoted by the suffix 'bar added to an individual's family name. (GCG, WOTC)

Bar
this name, which meant "serene", was common among Gungan males. (GCG)

Bar Ras
this brutish Gungan was arrested for stealing the tools of other Gungans, then savagely beating them when they tried to confront him. Bar Ras was exiled from Otoh Gunga by Boss Nass. (EGA)

Bara
this wraith was one of the unique organisms that inhabit the world of Jellyfish Cove. She, like all of her race, is mobile and can prowl for prey in an ethereal form. However, she could not exist in ethereal form in the presence of sunlight, which caused them to solidify into statue-like images of themselves. Bara nearly overcame the problem when she first encountered Garve. She tried to attack him during a thick fog, but shafts of sunlight kept making her solid. Garve escaped, but only until Bara discovered that the Imperial uniforms left on Jellyfish Cove by her other victims could wrap her in sunlight-blocking material from head to foot. She dressed as an Imperial officer and gained admittance to Garve's base. When it became dark, she revealed her true form and again nearly killed Garve, but he was once again saved by sunlight which streamed through the windows. (SWG1, TMEC)

Barab
this red dwarf star was the primary sun in the Barab System, which included the planet Barab I. (GG4)

Barab I
the homeworld of the Barabels, Barab I was the innermost planet in the Barab System, orbiting very near to its primary star, Barab. Barab I orbited Barab at less than 125 million kilometers. Thus, its surface was constantly being bombarded by all sorts of radiation. This, coupled with the intense heat from the star, caused any water which condensed to the ground at night to quickly evaporate, creating a deadly, humid surface environment that resulted in an irradited greehouse effect. The Barabels and most other forms of life on the planet adapted by living in the caves the riddle the planet, and every form of life - including most herbivores - was capable of killing another creature for sustenance. All forms of life on Barab I were cold-blooded, despite its proximity to its primary star. The average day on Barab I lasted about 60 standard hours. The written history of the planet was started just 400 years before the Battle of Yavin, and many historians and xenoarchaeologists have determined that Barabel "pre-history" was no more or less remarkable than that of any other race in the galaxy. During the latter stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Barab I was attacked and razed by the alien invaders. All life was erased from the planet's surface, and the Barabel population was taken away for slavery. (GG4, DFR, DFRSB, FH1, GORW, WOTC)

Barab II
this frozen ball of rock and ice was the second planet in the Barab System. (GORW, WOTC)

Barab III
this gas giant was the third and outermost planet in the Barab System. It was orbited by thirty-four moons. (GORW, WOTC)

Barab Ore
this unusual, crystalline ore was found on the planet Barab I. Several millennia before the onset of the Clone Wars, the ancient Jedi Knights sometimes used Barab Ore crystals in the construction of their lightsabers. The blade produced by a Barab Ore crystal burned exceptionally bright and hot, and many Jedi considered this blade too dangerous to use, as it could lose energy cohesion at any time. In its raw form, Barab Ore was found on the surface of Barab I, which led to its near-constant exposure to radiation. When refined into ingots, Barab Ore could actually store radiation and increase its energy potential, which made it dangerous to handle without proper training and protection. (KOTOR2)

Barabel
this bipedal race of reptiloids was covered in black scales much like fingernails. Known for their hunting and tracking abilities, Barabels had heavy, retractable claws and sharp, needle-like teeth. They were a communal race which was native to the irradiated world of Brab I, with separate groups of up to 10,000 individuals existing under the guidance of a pack leader. Their aggression was well-known, but they were also extremely loyal to their mates and parents. Barabels were especially fond of fighting with their nearby neighbors, the Verpine, and often captured Verpine and gave their body parts to the Kubaz. Being a moral race by nature, they had a deep respect for the Jedi Knights which stemmed from their first experiences with the Jedi, in which a Jedi Master successfully mediated a dangerous clan dispute. The written history of the Barabel race only dated back some 400 years before the Battle of Yavin, although most xenoarchaeologists agreed that life before this was similar in most respects to life since that time. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, the Barabels managed to remain untouched for several years, until Barab I was attacked and destroyed. The Barabels as a race were either killed or taken offplanet to be enslaved, and no life was left on the planet's surface. Those Barabels taken as slaves were killed when Saba Sebatyne returned to her homeworld to find it in flames. She failed to recognize the Yuuzhan Vong transport ship, and shot it down. She was horrified to see Barabel bodies gushing from the transport, but later reconciled herself to the fact that death for the Barabels was probably better than slavery. The memory of her people kept her fighting for years to come. (DFR, DA, DFRSB, GG4, FH1, WOTC)

Barabel

Barabel Fruit
this large, black-skinned fruit was very tasty. (RF)

Barabel Wars
a civil war on Barab I over choice hunting grounds, it was stopped by a group of nearby Jedi Knights. (DFR)

Barabi Run
this smuggling ship was known to have transported raw spice to the planet Varl, as part of Mika the Hutt's plans to produce tempest. It made a regular journey along the Perlemian Trade Route, stopping at Rhilithan in accordance with Mika's orders. A Mobquet Medium Transport, the Barabi Run was formerly known as the Moonlight Cruise, until it was refitted for spice transport. The body of the ship was made up of two rectangular modules and one cylindrical module, and it was armed with two concealed double turbolaser cannons, two pairs of heavy ion cannons, four concussion missile launchers, and a tractor beam projector. Many who encountered the ship felt that it was too heavily armed for its size, but the ship's cargo more than made up for its armament. The ship required a crew of six to operate, and could carry up to 500 metric tons of cargo and twenty-six passengers. The ship was captained by Tarson Kestrel, until it was apprehended near Rhilithan by a group of freelance agents hired by Angela Krin of the Corporate Sector Authority. Although the crew was detained by the Corporate Sector Authority for running spice, they were never charged with a crime, and the Barabi Run was released several days later. (TF)

Baraboo
this planet is the site of the Institute for Sentient Studies. (BTS)

Barada
this Klatooinan was the leader of Jabba the Hutt's repulsorpool on the planet Tatooine, just prior to the crimelord's death. He had been badly scarred and disfigured on his homeworld before being sold to Jabba. Barada was won by Jabba in a rigged sabacc match, but Jabba chose to keep Barada as a slave rather than give him any kind of freedom. It was Barada who discovered the body of Ak-Buz in the palace scrap heap. He also assisted in watching over Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca when Jabba brought the to the Pit of Carkoon. Unfortunately for Barada, he was one of the first of Jabba's men to fall into the Sarlacc pit when Luke's plan for escape went into action. (ROTJ, TJP, EGC, CCG7, SWDB)

Barada
another name for the Klatooinan race, used because so many Klatooinan males have been named after Barada M'Beg. (TOJ, GG12)

Barada M'Beg
this famous Klatooinan is perhaps the most revered scholar and leader in Klatooinan history. It was M'Beg who represented the Klatooinans in their ancient negotiations with the Hutts, prior to the war with Xim the Despot more than 25,000 years before the rise of the New Order. M'Beg is so well-revered that many Klatooinans name their male sons after him. This has led some other races to refer to the Klatooinans as Baradas. (GG12)

Barada Rakul
this Klatooinan was the Captain of the Moulee-Rah Patogga, working for he Besadii kajidic during the years leading up the Battle of Geonosis. Captain Rakul, his ship, and his crew were captured on Karnst by a joint law enforcement team, after their ship was discovered to have been transporting more than 100 metric tons of ryll spice. Captain Rakul, when questioned, seemed to have no idea what kind of cargo he was carrying. (HNN5)

Baradas II
a planet. (GG10)

Baradis School of Technology
this school, located on Jarvanam, was actually a front for the training of Tenloss Syndicate criminals. Any Tenloss member who needed specific criminal skills was sent to Baradis for formal training. (GG11)

Baradium
a powerful but unstable synthetic element, baradium was used as the primary explosive in thermal detonators. When ignited, the baradium generated a particle field around the exploding particles which were being emitted from the detonator. Most thermal detonators could generate a five-meter sphere, which meant that the baradium was capable of incinerating everything inside a five-meter diameter sphere centered on its source. Everything outside the sphere was undamaged, as the sphere would eventually collapse when the baradium was spent. (ISB)

Baraduk
this Barabel was captured for use as an Imperial slave, but escaped from the compound on Herios IV. Before he left, Baraduk stole a cache of weapons from the Imperial armory, an act which earned him the wrath of Herios' Governor. However, Baraduk evaded capture until the governor offered him amnesty to simply leave the planet - an offer prompted by the loss of fifteen Imperial soldiers who were killed chasing Baraduk. The Barabel agreed, and left Herios IV with all the weapons he could carry. He was hunted by Galasett for many years, until he defeated the Kerestian in single combat. The two maintained a blood feud over the years. (GG10)
