Parnell, Sebastian
this tall, gaunt man was a former Imperial General who retired from active duty and became Governor of the Sil'Lume System. Noticeable by his silvery hair and ice-blue, piercing eyes, Parnell strove to bring the vast array of miners and prospectors in the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt under Imperial control during the height of the New Order. To that end, he established a huge prison complex on Tol Ado, and tried to capture and execute Erling Tredway, who had been fomenting peaceful dissention among the miners. Although he succeeded in capturing Erling after destroying much of the facilities on 24 Tredway and killing Erling's mother, Parnell was unable to get any information from him before Luke Skywalker rescued Erling. They escaped only when Erling assumed the identity of Darth Vader - using a mock-up of Vader's armor found in Parnell's quarters - and ordered Parnell to provide him with a shuttle. (JH)

Pasarian Memorial Atmospheric Reclamation Complex Project
located in the Bluenek Section of Coruscant, this atmospheric processing station was part of a planet-wide network of stations that maintained the air quality of the urban planet. Using sophisiticated scrubbing systems, the Reclamation Project insured that chemicals were not allowed to build up in Coruscant's atmosphere, especially after the last area of arable land was covered with cityscape. When the Empire took control of Coruscant and began using the Bluenek Section for Imperial Intelligence operations, the organic staff of Pasarian was eliminated in favor of a droid staff. This allowed Emperor Palpatine to have complete control over Coruscant's atmopshere, giving him the ability to threaten the populace of the planet with a complete shutdown of the air quality systems. (EL2)

this Old Republic Senator was one of the first to support Queen Amidala's vote of no-confidence in the abilities of Chancellor Valorum. A Koorivan male, Argente was a tall humanoid with scaly green skin that had yellow coloration. His appointment as a Senator stemmed from his position as the Magistrate of the Corporate Sector during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Despite his position, Argente hated the Republic, and was known for his corrupt nature. He was also quick to blame his peers for his own mistakes. He allied himself with Orn Free Taa and Toonbuck Toora in their opposition to Chancellor Valorum. In the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis, Passel Argent was in control of the Corporate Alliance, and threw in his droid armies with Count Dooku and the Separatists. Just prior to the First Battle of Coruscant and the end of the Clone Wars, Passel Argente and the other leaders of the Confederacy of Independent Systems were whisked away to Utapau by General Grievous, in order to ensure their safety.

this planet was used as a junkyard during the height of the New Order. The gunrunner Orion Ferret maintained a hidden cache on the planet, where he stored illegal goods that needed to be hidden from Imperial patrols. The four TIE Fighters purchased by the Alliance for the assault on Spindrift were hidden on Patch-4. The surface of the planet was covered with a runny, jelly-like substance which was formed from the various chemicals and organic material that was dumped on the planet over the decades. Orion Ferret took control of the planet during the New Order, placing several Watcher beasts on its surface to protect his cache of weapons. However, Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian, on a mission to purchase the TIE Fighters, discovered how to use a sonic pacifier to quell the Watcher Beasts. Knowing that they had been tricked by Ferret, they turned over the sonic pacifier to Serja Kesselrook, allowing the vagabond and his friends to take control of Patch-4 for their own use. (LTA5, MC59)

Pathfinder
this Vangaard scoutship was extremely well-armed for its size, affording a scout a great deal of protection in a compact starship. It was also one of the first ships of its kind to offer a hyperdrive and computer-assisted weapons, some 63 years prior to the Battle of Yavin. The needle-shaped fuselage measured 36 meters in length, with a long cockpit and a pair of front-swept wings at the rear. The Pathfinder required a single pilot to fly, and could transport two passengers along with 40 cubic meters - up to 100 metric tons - of cargo. It was hyperdrive-equipped and shielded, and was armed with a unique laser cannon set-up. The laser cannon could draw power from the shields, as the shields absorbed blaster energy from an attacking ship. This augmented the power of the laser cannon, but would overload the shield generator if it took too many hits. This overload could be rectified by bringing the generator offline and recalibrating it, a relatively easy task to accomplish for a gunner. (GG8, AIR)

Pathfinder III
this Old Republic exploration vessel was responsible for locating the planet Yashuvhu and the mysterious human population which thrived on the planet. (WOTC)

Pathfinders
this branch of the Alliance's Special Forces unit specialized in the scouting and reconnaissance of unknown terrain. They were considered the 2nd Regiment of the SpecForces of the Alliance. (ROE)

Pathline Tapcafe
this tavern was located in cityblock Kesk-319 on Brentaal, at the intersection of Route 6903 and Citypath 515. Shortly after the Far Orbit was captured by mutineers, the Pathline was nationalized by Imperial forces on the planet when it was learned the crew of the rogue Nebulon-B frigate were headed there. (FOP)

Pathogen-Based Loyalty Enhancement Program
this Imperial research program was originally funded by COMPNOR. Its mission involved discovering a pathogenic disease that could continually shift its antigen needs, thereby making it impossible to eliminate. The disease could then be unleashed on rebellious worlds, and the Imperials could then arrive with the "cure," an antiviral injection that actually released new forms of the disease into the system. The goal of the program was to instill loyalty to the Empire by forcing people to accept the Imperial cure, making them dependent upon it for their very survival. The work of Doctor Fesjo Negleem eventually created the FNV-23 virus, which was successfully tested on the planet Sedesia. However, a team of Alliance agents managed to thwart Doctor Negleem's plans, and obtained complete documentation on the program. (SWJ6)

Patriot Fist
this Recusant-class light destroyer was constructed for the Confederacy of Independent Systems by a group of Quarren exiles on the planet Minntooine, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Patriot Fist was one of the many Separatist warships deployed to support General Grievous' forces during the First Battle of Coruscant. (X3)

Patrol Frigate
this Imperial starship was a basic Nebulon-B frigate which was outfitted to act as a deep-space probe ship. The patrol frigate was equipped with a tethered sensor array that trailed behind the ship. The crew complement of the patrol frigate was a mere 456 crewers and just 56 gunners, as much of the basic Nebulon-B design was mothballed for this modification. The array it towed was capable of detecting and intercepting the presence of a large warship passing through hyperspace in its vicinity, and it could even tap into hyperspacial communications. The patrol frigate was not equipped with any form of decryption software, and so any signals it received would have to be passed on for decoding. The patrol frigate was armed with 9 turbolaser batteries, 7 laser cannons, and 3 ion cannons, as well as a pair of tractor beam projectors. It could transport up to 400 troops if needed. (CTD)

Patrol XLS

Patunkin, Gerwa
this was one of the humorous names Garik Loran used for Lara Notsil, after she was mistaken for Edallia Monotheer by an old man on Coruscant. (SOC)

Pau City
this sinkhole city was ostensibly the capital of the planet Utapau, during the final years of the Old Republic. Like all such sinkhole cities, Pau City's upper levels were continually buffeted by the hyperwinds that scoured the surface of Utapau. These levels were set aside for population by large windmills that generated huge amounts of free power. Shortly after the First Battle of Coruscant, when General Grievous fled the Core Worlds and hid on Utapau, he established a base of operations in Pau City. The city then became a battleground when Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived to destroy Grievous, as the battle droids of the Separatists fought against the clone troopers who accompanied Kenobi to Utapau. More than half the city was damaged to destroyed in the fighting. (OWS, E3N)

Pau, Saulis
this former Imperial Army soldier became a bounty hunter after serving his time with Empire. He was one of the few Imperial hunters who operated out of Feris City during the last years of the New Order. (GG10)

Pau'an
this race of tall, gray-skinned humanoids was native to the planet Utapau. For many generations, the Pau'ans lived on the surface of the planet, separate from the Utai. They were eventually driven underground by the increasingly arid enviroment of the planet's surface. Although the Pau'ans made up just thirty percent of Utapau's population, their size and longevity gave them the ability to dominate the rulership classes of the planet. The average Pau'an had a lifespan of more than 200 years, and preferred to eat raw meat. Double rows of sharp teeth filled the upper and lower jaws of the average Pau'an, allowing them to rip apart their food. Interestingly, Pau'ans preferred the darkness of the underground cities, despite their natural history as surface-dwellers. Because of their long lifespans, the Pau'ans were often referred to as Ancients. The head of the Pau'an displayed evolutionary adaptations to living on the planet's surface, including vestigial ear-disks that lacked lobes which might have been damaged by wind-blown sand. (OWS, VD3, E3N)

Pau'an
this was the name used to describe the various dialects spoken on the planet Utapau. Because there were many distinct dialects, the misinterpretation of Pau'an often resulted in conflicts between groups. (VD3)

Pauc'on
this barren, rocky world was the third planet in the Ralltiir System. It was orbited by two moons. (CCW)

Paulking XIV
this planet was home to several unusual species, including fur-bearing fish, flying crabs, and talking algae. (LCM, GMR5)

Paulsen, Drake
this young smuggler, a native of the planet Socorro, began working with his father Kaine at the age of five. It was rumored that Drake made his first deal at the age of three, negotiating the exchange of goods between himself and Jabba the Hutt. Although the exchange was simply three blasters which Drake held for a basket of warm honeystix, Jabba was impressed with, and entertained by, Drake's actions. Jabba dubbed the young boy "the Little Prince of Socorro." Drake learned everything he could from his father, Kaine Paulsen, and Drake strove to ensure that his father's teachings and morals were never compromised. When Kaine was killed on Socorro, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Drake took control of his father's businesses and expanded them rapidly. Drake also hunted down and killed his father's murderer, a Twi'lek member of the Black Bha'lir known as Izzat. This earned Drake a bounty on his head of over 100,000 credits. He was forced to lay low in Jabba the Hutt's court for a year before emerging as a free man. However, Drake never became a member of the Black Bha'lir, though he did get caught up working for Abdi-Badawzi. He later retired to Redcap with Toob Ancher. (SWJ2, SWJ12, BSS)

Paulsen, Kaine
known on Socorro as Chu'la, Kaine was a smuggler of some repute who often worked with Toob Ancher. Early in his career, Kaine was a gifted pilot who served the Black Bha'lir, and was referred to as the "Socorran Scourge" by many independent spacers. He married a young Socorran woman, and they would have lived together with a son if the wife hadn't died at childbirth. The infant, whom Kaine named Drake, was brought into the world by his father and a Coynite warrior named Tra'Parr'Sratt. It was Sratt who gave Drake the nickname Lom, which meant "freedom" in the Coynite language. Over the years, Kaine's smuggling activities attracted the notice of Abdi-Badawzi, who never failed to become angry with Kaine's independent streak. Eventually, the Twi'lek captured the thirty-five-year-old Kaine and held him captive, forcing Drake to take on a mission with Elias Halbert in order to free him. The mission went as planned, and Kaine was freed to return to his son. Kaine met his untimely death when he was killed by the Twi'lek Izzat on Thrugii, while trying to deliver smuggled supplies to the miners there. This left Drake to take over the smuggling business, having learned everything Kaine could teach him. (SWJ2, SWJ5, SWJ12, BSS)

Pav D'armon
a Mistryl guard and member of Manda D'ulin's team, she assisted Manda in trying to ascertain the necessary security for the Hammertong project. When the Imperials staged an ambush, Pav was killed, along with Manda, before Shada and Karoly could escape with the Hammertong. (TME)

Pavan, Jax
this young boy was the son of Lorn Pavan. After Lorn's wife, Siena, left them, Lorn took Jax to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Jax was sensitive to the Force, and Lorn hoped that he could enlighten his son's life through the Jedi training. Unfortunately for Lorn, the Jedi simply took Jax away and forbid him from seeing Lorn again until his training was complete. Before he was killed, Lorn programmed his protocol droid, I-5YQ, to return to Coruscant and look after Jax. I-5YQ lost portions of his memory in the confusion that followed Lorn's death, but eventually recovered enough to learn of his true mission. During the height of the Clone Wars, I-5YQ was able to return to Coruscant and locate Jax. (DMSH, MJH)

Pavan, Lorn
this Corellian man was a respected information broker until his life started falling apart. His wife, Siena, left him, and when he tried to help his son Jax gain entrance to the Jedi Order, the Jedi of Coruscant shephered Jax away and forbid Lorn from seeing him. In despair, Lorn and his droid partner, I-5YQ, were left without any credits and forced to live in the bowels of the planet Coruscant, grubbing a life in any way they could. Lorn hated the Jedi with every fiber of his existence, and was loath to say anything good about them. He believed that his luck had changed when Hath Monchar agreed to sell him information about the impending Trade Federation blockade of Naboo, only to be thrust into the intrigues of Darth Maul and his master, Darth Sidious. Lorn managed to recover Monchar's crystal holocron with the information about the blockade, and was joined in his struggle by the failed Jedi padawan, Darsha Assant. Along with I-5YQ, they nearly survived to get off Coruscant. However, just as Lorn was starting to like Darsha, she was killed in battle with Darth Maul, providing Lorn and I-5YQ with a chance to escape. I-5YQ temporarily encased them in carbonite as Darsha set off a huge explosion, hoping to kill off Maul. Unfortunately, Maul survived. Lorn swore to hunt the Sith lord down, and nearly succeeded. Maul proved too much, however, and Lorn was forced to turn to the first person he recognized for help. To Lorn's dismay, this turned out to be Senator Palpatine from Naboo, who realized that Maul had not completely finished his quest for his alter ego, Darth Sidious. Palpatine turned Lorn over to Maul, who executed the human with a killing swipe of his lightsaber. (DMSH)

Pavan, Siena
this woman was married to Lorn Pavan, and fathered his only son, Jax. Siena walked out on their marriage shortly before Jax was taken in by the Jedi Knights. (DMSH)

Pavia System
this Tapani Sector star system was part of the holdings of House Cadriaan during the New Order. (LOE)

Pavilion
this planet's starports were notorious for the slave trade which passed through them. (SSR)

Pavillion
this was the largest of the underwater cities built by the Iskalonians on their homeworld of Iskalon. The city was destroyed when an Imperial missile was launched from the citadel on Gamandar, shortly before the Battle of Endor. The missile nearly hit the Millennium Falcon, which was carrying Lando Calrissian, Chewbacca, and Mone on a mission to infiltrate the Imperial citadel on Gamandar. The missile struck a remote section of Iskalon's ocean, and the Iskalon Effect took over swiftly, creating a huge tidal wave. The immense pressure of the tidal surge smashed much of the transparisteel that formed Pavillion's outer walls, flooding the city and forcing a complete evacuation of any non-Iskalonians. (MC74, MC75)

Pavo Prime
during the early years of the New Republic, this planet was known for its casinos. Han Solo once managed to break the bank at a Pavo Prime casino, and framed the set of thousand-credit chips he won as a souvenir. The planet orbited a huge blue sun, which provided plenty of light and warmth without much glare. (AFA, SWI67)

Pawa

Pax Bonkik
this Rodian and his younger brother, Trax, were sold into slavery by their parents, who used the credits to feed their addiction to spice. After they were acquired by Mars Guo, who put them to work on his podracer, demanding more performance from an aging vehicle. It was during this time the Pax developed a friendship with Teemto Pagalies, who became fond of both brothers. After Trax and Mars Guo got into a vehement argument, Guo threatened to sell Trax to another owner. Pax tried to get Teemto Pagalies to help, but the Boonta Eve Classic was taking place, and the rival racer was forced to focus on his own problems. When Mars Guo was killed in the race, which was eventually won by Anakin Skywalker, Sebulba arranged for Guo's possessions to be sold at auction. Although Teemto acquired Pax, he was unable to afford Trax, who was eventually purchased by Sebulba. Pax continued to work for Teemto, and eventually paid off the price that had been paid for him. When Teemto won the Aleen Classic, he boasted that he was going to buy Ann Gella from Sebulba, but surprised Pax by buying Trax instead. Once he had reunited the brothers, Teemto Pagalies freed them, and they set out to make their own way in the galaxy. (SWDB)

Paxxi Derida
this was the name of the Phindian pilot who was to transport Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi from Bandomeer to Gala, where they would mediate a general election. The Phindian was quite rude, and it was possible that he only gave the name "Pilot" to insult them. Instead of transporting them to gala, however, Pilot faked a fuel leak and brought them out of hyperspace near Phindar. After a false battle with a pair of starfighters, Pilot landed the ship in Laressa and hoped that assassin droids would kill off the Jedi. Pilot fled into the city. He found the Jedi again and led to a small cafe' where he introduced them to his brother, Guerra Derida. There, Paxxi revealed that they had to fake the fuel leak in order to get past the blockade set up by the Syndicat, from whom he and his brother were fugitives. The brothers were part of a small group of freedom fighters who were working to overthrown the Syndicat, but they needed the Jedis' help and were afraid to ask. After gaining Qui-Gon's confidence, they were able to break into the Syndicat's stronghold and expose the vast stores of food and supplies being held there. Paxxi was injured in the battle which ensued, but survived. When their plans came to fruition and they were able to bring down the Syndicat, Paxxi built a monument in the center of Laressa from the assassin droids of the Syndicat. He claimed that the Phindians had to face their evil in order to conquer it. Years later, Paxxi and Guerra became the heads of their respective families, both of which were known for their large size. (HP, LOJ)

Pazaak
this card game was developed more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The basic goal of pazaak was to try to get your own cards to total more than the total of your opponent's cards, while not going over a total of 20. A round of pazaak was called a set, and a player needed to win three sets to win a match. What made the game interesting to many beings was the cards used to play pazaak. The basic set of cards was called the Main Deck, and was readily available. Each Main Deck contained forty cards, numbered from +1 to +10. During game play, however, the exact value of a given card was randomly generated by a computer, so marking of one's cards was not only illegal, but fruitless. In theory, a being could draw +1 nine times in a row. In addition to the Main Deck, a Side Deck was also used in play. This Side Deck started out with ten cards, two of each numbered from +1 to +5. More cards could be obtained with values from +1 to +6, -1 to -6, or mixed cards that could be +/-1 to +/- 6, making for a huge variation in the totals one could have in a given hand. There was no limit to the number of cards in the Side Deck. However, certain cards were only available on certain planets, so travel was required in order to obtain them. Match play began with each player selecting ten cards for their Side Deck, then shuffling their Main Deck. Each round within a set, cards were played onto the table for each player, and the card's value was added or subtracted from the player's score as necessary. A player could stop at any time during a round or a set, although their hand was automatically stopped if they reached a score of 20 or were dealt nine cards. A set ended when both players stopped, or when one player's total exceeded 20. At the end of the set, the player with the highest total won the set, although a tie was not counted to either player's total. To win a match, a player had to win three sets. Many players maintained the number of "net wins" against other opponents, as a way to monitor how many matches they had won.
