Ylix
this backwater planet was the birthplace of Gallandro. For many centuries, the inhabitants of Ylix were embroiled in a civil war with their planetary neighbors from Goelitz. The actual cause of the feud has been forgotten, but the bitterness remained for many generations. The Imperial Moff of the sector promised to peacefully resolve the wars, but he was soon worried about other matters and the battles continued to rage. Eventually, Ylix forces - with Gallandro as one of their leaders - defeated the forces from Goelitz, ending the dispute in bloody fashion. (CSA, EGC)

Yncha
this huge, slug-like creature was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong as a form of orbital attack creature. Comparable in size to an immense space slug, the yncha had a wedge-shaped head that was dominated by an eighty-meter-wide mouth. A pouch was located on its back. The mission of the yncha was to literally consume space stations and orbital facilities, removing them as first lines of defense for planets that the Yuuzhan Vong wanted to conquer. The creature first disabled a station's shields by consuming the energy that powered them. Then, using its wide mouth, the yncha took pieces of the station in its mouth and crushed them. Often, small landing craft were affixed to the hide of the yncha, allowing Yuuzhan Vong warriors to quickly enter the station and eliminate any opposition. (UF)

Ynos
this native of the planet Anobis was the leader of his farming village. When Han Solo and Anja Gallandro arrived on the planet, it was Ynos who first greeted them.

Yoda
this incredibly aged Jedi Master was regarded as one of the primary leaders of the Jedi Council, in the decades leading up the to fall of the Old Republic. Along with Mace Windu and Ki-Adi-Mundi, the 860-year-old Yoda was a strong voice in the Council's decisions. A master of appearing old and frail, Yoda was an expert swordsbeing and teacher. He attained the rank of Jedi Master at a meer 100 years of age. More than 100 years before the Battle of Naboo, Yoda served as one of the Jedi Masters working aboard the Chu'unthor before it was lost on Dathomir. 700 years old at the time, Yoda returned to Coruscant in defeat, and resolved to spent his time on the Jedi Council, guiding the Jedi Order with the help of the Force. He never revealed his race or homeworld, preferring to maintain an air of mystery. Like many other Jedi Masters, Yoda continued to teach while sitting on the Council, and was responsible for the early training of Obi-Wan Kenobi. However, when Qui-Gin Jinn brought nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker before the Council, Yoda was one of the few who voted not to train the boy. He was overruled, and Obi-Wan Kenobi was appointed the boy's master. A decade passed, and Yoda became increasingly aware of the presence of the Dark Side of the Force in the galaxy. However, he underestimated its strength, and the Jedi Council was blinded to the creation of a clone army on the planet Kamino. When the Separatists - led by one of Yoda's former Padawans, Count Dooku - rose up on Geonosis, Yoda was asked to take command of the clone troopers and answer the Separatist threat. Although he managed to save a handful of Jedi and defeat the Separatists' droid armies, Yoda was unable to prevent Dooku's escape. Like other Jedi Masters of the time, Yoda agreed to take up the role of a military General, and led several missions for the Old Republic, most notably to Vjun and Kashyyyk. However, Yoda - like the rest of the Jedi Council - failed to locate Darth Sidious before it was too late. When Chancellor Palpatine revealed that he was the Sith Lord, he moved swiftly to eliminate as many Jedi as he could. Yoda managed to escape Kashyyyk, only to learn from Obi-Wan and Bail Organa that the Jedi had been outlawed. Yoda tried to confront Darth Sidious back on Coruscant, but came to realize that he was totally unprepared for the Sith's power. Yoda also realized that the Jedi Order had been preparing to meet a possible Sith threat based on information from the Battle of Ruusan, a thousand years earlier. Instead, the Sith had been adapting to the changes of the galaxy, and the Jedi had become arrogant enough to believe that the old ways were the only ways to handle things. Thus, any actions the Jedi Council could have taken against Sidious would have been - and, ultimately were - utterly useless. Rather than fight Palpatine and surely die, Yoda chose to flee Coruscant and fight back in other ways. On Polis Massa, he was visited by the spirit of Qui-Gon Jinn, who had somehow discovered the ancient teachings of the Whills and learned to affect the real world even in death. Qui-Gon then offered Yoda the chance to learn the techniques, and Yoda gratefully agreed to become Qui-Gon's apprentice. Yoda later learned of the birth of Padme' Amidala Skywalker's twins, and decided with Obi-Wan to separate them and place them in hiding. The two surviving Jedi hoped that the children would one day be strong enough to oppose Palpatine. Yoda then fled to Dagobah in hopes of eluding the Jedi purge by hiding among the intense life-force of the creatures there. He remained on Dagobah, and was eventually caught up in the Dark Jedi rebellion that engulfed Bpfassh as he was forced to destroy their leader when they fled to Dagobah. A period of relative tranquility passed for Yoda, until the spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi directed Luke Skywalker to seek out the old Jedi Master. When Luke discovers him on Dagobah, following the Battle of Hoth, Yoda is almost 900 years old, and appears as a dimuntive elf-like creature with greenish-blue skin, wide eyes, and large pointed ears. He speaks in an archaic form of Basic. He claims to have watched over Luke's development for as long as Luke has been alive, not knowing if he would be able to train Luke or not, for he and Obi-Wan Kenobi realized that Luke might be the last of the Jedi Knights. Yoda took part in the events on Dathomir, along with the Jedi Masters Gra'aton and Vulatan, and foretold that the last of the Jedi Knights would someday come and defeat the Nightsisters. This would mark the end of the world as the witches knew it, and reshape their lives in profound ways. The Jedi Knight Yoda saw as Luke Skywalker. Yoda also foretold that Luke would be able to reveal the secret of the hundreds of reader disks that the Jedi kept with the witches of the Light Side (passed down to Rell), and that he would share them with the Dathomir witches.

Yo'Gand
a legendary Yuuzhan Vong warrior, he was credited with uniting the various warring Yuuzhan Vong clans by ending the Cremlevian War. Using a bold move that became known as Yo'Gand's Core, he employed a dovin basal to destroy Ygziir, the home planet of one of the largest clans. Near the end of the battle Yo'Gand defeated the then-current Warmaster, Steng, assuming the position of Warmaster for the Yuuzhan Vong. However, the effects of the Cremlevian War left the Yuuzhan Vong's home galaxy a lifeless collection of worlds, forcing them to travel into the intergalactic void and seek out the New Republic. (VP, GMR8, NJOSB)

Yo'Gand's Core
this tactic was developed by the legendary Yuuzhan Vong warrior Yo'Gand during the Cremlevian War. At the "core" of his plan was the use of a strong dovin basal to drag the home planet of one of the largest clans, Ygziir, into a collision with its moon. With this clan utterly destroyed, Yo'Gand was able to defeat Steng and eventually unite all Yuuzhan Vong clans, thus ending the Cremlevian War. Nom Anor and Da'Gara later used the tactic in an effort to destroy the planet Sernpidal, during the initial stages of their invasion of the known galaxy. (VP, NJOSB)

Yoggoy
this was one of the many hives that made up the Colony. Like all other hives within the Colony, the members of the Yoggoy hive referred to themselves, as well as the entire nest, as Yoggoy, and acted upon the Will of the Yoggoy hive. The members of the Yoggoy hive were similar in appearance to the Lizil, but had scarlet carapaces and stood two meters or more in height. The Yoggoy were considered to be the soldiers of the Colony. The Yoggoy lived on a planet that was also known as Yoggoy. A large portion of the Yoggoy were changed by the integration of Raynar Thul into their hive, when his connection to the Force gave rise to a new hive of insects. This new hive became known as the Unu. (DN1)

Yoggoy
this was the name of the planet that was colonized by the Yoggoy hive of the Colony. Like all Colony worlds, Yoggoy was located in the Unknown Regions, and its system bordered on the edges of Chiss space. It was here that the Tachyon Flier crashed, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. This event, known as Ub Ruur in the language of the Colony, became known as The Crash, and marked the beginning of a period of intense expansion by the Colony. (DN1)

Yoghurt Plant
this paludial fungus was native to the planet Dagobah. (IWST)

Yo-Hann Innk
this Kadas'sa'Nikto was a known criminal who escaped from prison shortly after the Battle of Naboo. The Republic Correctional Authority was unable to pinpoint his location, and offered a bounty for his capture. Jango Fett later claimed this bounty on the planet Tatooine, during a mission to locate Gardulla the Hutt. (BH)

Yohar
this bounty hunter chafed at the fact that Salus Corporation charged extra for non-Rodian versions of the Stalker personal armor suit, despite the fact that other "humanoid" versions were virtually identical to the Rodian configuration. (GUN)

Yoi Areebi
this male Guineo was a known criminal, living in the industrial district of Coruscant during the years following the Battle of Naboo.

He was wanted by the Republic Security Force for the enslavement of Ewoks for use at an illegal mining operation in the Cron Drift, and was eventually captured by Jango Fett. (BH)

Yoka
this Huttese verb translated roughly into Basic as "you are." (E1A14)

Yolan Bren
this green-skinned humanoid was a native of the planet Solem, and was part of the rebel underground that sprang up during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Yolan Bren was known as the Poet among his people, for he spoke eloquently about throwing off the Imperial yoke of control. It was later revealed that Yolan Bren was also the brother of Imperial Governor Malvander. They had been brought up to rule Solem together, but Yolan Bren could not stand by and allow the Empire to simply take his planet. However, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, Solem was brutally subjugated by Malvander, in an effort to impress the Empire. Yolan Bren barely survived the attack, receiving several injuries to his arms and chest. Hoping to break the will of Solem's natives, the Empire hired Boba Fett to ensure that Yolan Bren was killed. Rather than see any more of his companions killed, Yolan Bren surrendered himself to the bounty hunter. His fellow rebels, however, could not simply sit by and watch him being captured. Lol led a group of rebels into G'ai Solem, where Malvander's forces were spread too thin to stop any form of organized resistance. They were able to easily rescue Yolan Bren, and in turn captured Malvander. (SWES)

Yomin Carr
one of the Yuuzhan Vong's advance scouts, Yomin Carr posed as a human being in order to infiltrate the ExGal Society's base on Belkadan. From there, he could assist in blinding the galaxy to initial phases of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. He hated the weak humans he worked with, but held a grudging respect for Danni Quee. As Nom Anor's plans reached their culmination, Yomin Carr maintained communication with Prefect Da'Gara and coordinated the landing of the Yuuzhan Vong's first warship on Helska. From there, he eliminated ExGal-4, and was a first-hand witness to the initial stages of the Praetorite Vong's invasion. However, in his zeal to ensure the New Republic was unaware of the Yuuzhan Vong presence, he did not anticipate that Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade would travel to Belkadan and investigate the planet's destruction. Luke and Mara were forced into a desparate battle with Carr, who used every organic weapon in his arsenal against them. Unfortunately for Yomin Carr, he was unable to take control of Mara's lightsaber during a brief melee. He tried to swing his amphistaff down and crush her head, but she managed to get the blade of the lightsaber up in time to catch him in the chest. Carr's momentum carried him further onto the blade,which pierced his armor and burned his heart. (VP)

Yomm, Auren
a fifteen-year-old human girl from the Umboo colony of Roon, Auren was an excellent athlete and kalak handler. She and her droid, Bix, won many competitions in the Colonial Games during the early years of the New Order, and were often partnered with Gee Long. Auren met Mungo Baobab and his droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, when she rescued them from a race of mud creatures on Roon. They were then beset by Governor Koong and his henchman, Gaff, as well as by Gaff's espionage droid O'Dingo. Mungo and C-3PO agreed to help Auren and her team compete in the Colonial Games. For his help, Auren gave Mungo a Roonstone. In the following years, Aurem decided to fight back against Imperial domination, and earned the respoect of the Alliance's military leaders for her training of Alliance-allied resistance groups. She was perhaps best-known for training the Caldera's Crest guerilla fighters, who fought back against the Imperial forces that were controlling New Bornalex. (DCAR, SWDB, GORW)

Yomm, Bola
Auren Yomm's mother, Bola was infected with the Ruse virus by the evil Governor Koong, during the early years of the New Order. Mungo Baobab and his droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO traveled to Tawntoom to rescue Auren Yomm and her father, Nilz, who understood how to eradicate the virus. Their rescue attempt was successful, and Bola was able to recover from the virus. (DCAR)

Yomm, Nilz
Auren Yomm's father, he was a respected physician and trader in the Roon System. When Governor Koong sprayed the Ruse virus over the umboo province of Roon, Nilz's wife Bola was infected with it. Nilz discovered the cure for the virus, but was captured by Koong. Koong himself had been infected, and demanded that Nilz cure him. Nilz, however, was rescued by Mungo Baobab and the droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, and returned to Roon. He was able to administer the cure to Bola, curing her before the virus could kill her. (DCAR)

Yon
this man was a member of the cleaning crew known as the Tripod, working on Bakura during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (FH2)

Yondalla
this female Zabrak worked as one of Jabba the Hutt's Lieutenants during the height of the Galactic Civil War. After the Trandoshan assassin S'lee was captured on Corellia, Jabba dispatched Yondalla to retrieve him before he could be forced to reveal information on Jabba's business dealings. (SWGAL)

Yongti
this was one of the Dathomirian Witches who rivaled Zalem's clan during the last decades of the Old Republic. She was killed when she led a slave-raid on Zalem's males, and tried to capture Quinlan Vos. Matriarch Zalem sent her subterine vessel to retaliate, and blasted Yongti and her rancor to pieces. (SWIE)

Yonka, Sair
this Imperial Captain commanded the Avarice during the years after the Battle of Endor. Prior to serving under Ysanne Isard, he spent most of his career in the Outer Rim chasing pirates and protecting convoys. He was known as a smart and calculating officer, who worked to maximize his chances for survival. A native of Commenor, he grew up and fell in love with a woman named Aellyn, who later married Moff Riit Jandi after Yonka left for the Imperial Academy. When they met each other years later on Elshandruu Pica, they started an illicit affair with the help of Kina Margath. When word of this affair reached the ears of Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron, through the droid Poe, they used it to convince Yonka to renounce his Imperial commission and join the New Republic. He accepted Wedge's proposal, and brought the Avarice and most of its crew with him. Those crewmen who wished to remain in Imperial service hijacked a Lambda-class shuttle and forced Yonka's forces to destroy them. The Star Destroyer was renamed the Freedom and was the first ship to fire on the Lusankya during the Battle of Thyferra. However, the Freedom also took heavy damage, and was disabled and adrift at the end of the fighting. Both Yonka and the Freedom survived, and Yonka became a member of the New Republic's commanders in chief during the struggle against Grand Admiral Thrawn. (BW, IR)

Yonna, Graf
this man, a native of the planet Bront, was driven insane when the Empire subjugated the planet and killed his family. He partly assumed the identity of Parsol d'Ahndole, keeping shreds of his original personality mixed in. He also allied himself with the Alliance, although he was something of a loose cannon and messed up more missions than he helped. (CRO)

Yonsen, Swifty
this man was known as one of the more fearsome hired guns of the Inner Rim. He earned his reputation through a series of misadventures, not from any real talent. However, his reptuation actually saved him from several firefights. He was approached by Dhas Vedij and offered a chance to serve on the crew of the Far Orbit, afted Vedij defected from Imperial service. (FOP)

Yonta
this term was used to describe a dejarik player who was no longer an amateur, but had yet to play on the professional level. (HNN5)

Yooba
this Mandalorian pronoun translated into Basic as 'you'. (KOTOR)

Yoog Skell
this Yuuzhan Vong served the leaders of the invasion force which attacked the New Republic, more than twenty-five years after the Battle of Endor. As the High Prefect of the Intendent caste, Yoog Skell was Nom Anor's superior officer, and answered to Supreme Overlord Shimrra. When Nom Anor believed that the New Republic had established an advance base on Ebaq 9, Yoog Skell agreed that the Executor's information should be brought to the Supreme Overlord. However, when the information was discovered to have been purposely planted by agents of the Republic, in an effort to draw the Yuuzhan Vong into a trap, Yoog Skell confronted him and demanded his death. Nom Anor, in a panic, tried to flee with his life. In order to escape, Nom Anor lashed out at Yoog Skell with an amphistaff, smashing the High Prefect's skull and killing him almost instantly. (Y, DW)

Yoon Cloud
this unusual nebula contained several star systems that harbored unusual forms of life, many of them sentient. (GMR7)

Yopaxtul
this Vratix won the six-legged competition in the "Mobquet Presents" Fastest Land Beings" races, held just before the onset of the Clone Wars. Yopaxtul crossed the 100-meter lin in just 6.132 seconds, a galactic record for the hexapod class of racers. (HNN5)

Yor Millto
this slave owner worked in the city of Mos Espa, some two years before the Battle of Naboo. Yor Millto owned Amee and parents, but was barely affected when Amee's mother, Hala, was taken in a slave raid by Krayn. (JQ)

Yorbo
this being was a native of the planet Tyne's Horky, and a known droid abuser, during the early years of the New Order. It was Yorbo who purchased R2-D2 and C-3PO at auction, only to trade the droids to Jann Tosh shortly afterward. Yorbo, who worked for Kreb Zellock, believed that the trade was more to his own benefit. When he told Zellock about it, Zellock ordered Yorbo to capture Jann, on whom he had placed a bounty. After discovering the truth behind Kez-Iban's past, Yorbo and Zellock tried to increase their fortunes by collecting the bounty on him as well. However, their plans turned sour when R2-D2 and C-3PO helped Jann and Jess Meade rescue Kez-Iban and exposed Zellock's plans. When Yorbo realized that Zellock planned to betray him, he helped Jann knock Zellock unconscious. They later split Zellock's fortune and went their separate ways. (DCAR)

Yordor
this immense creature, native to the Forest Moon of Endor, grew long tusks of valuable ivory. (ECAR)

Yorell
according to Corellia mythology, Yorell was a giant who was the brother of Salta. When Yorell saw that Salta was growing tired from carrying the planet throuigh space, he built a platinum cast into which the planet could be placed. (MJH)

Yoribuunt
this immense gas giant was located on the border of Hutt Space. Its appearance from space was a swirl of red and yellow gases, mixing together in ever-changing patterns that made the planet quite beautiful to behold. (WOA22)

Yorik Coral
this form of coral was found in the galaxy inhabited by the Yuuzhan Vong. They bio-engineered the coral to grow to massive sizes, and then formed it into living spaceships they called worldships. The worldships themselves resembled nothing more than asteroids when observed on standard scanners and sensors, allowing the Yuuzhan Vong to enter an area virtually undetected. When the Praetorite Vong invaded the galaxy, they had planned to use the dead world of Belkadan as a yorik coral breeding ground. The New Republic discovered that the Yuuzhan Vong captured slaves and used them to breed the coral. Small buds of coral were carried to captive slaves by creepers, which inserted the young buds into the slave's flesh. The coral - known as yorik-kul - kept the slave from revolting while it drew nourishment from the bodily fluids and energy of the host. It was later learned that the yorik coral used to create the Yuuzhan Vong starships aged like most other biological organism. By the time some of them reached the known galaxy, their interior components had begun to simply die out. Bioluminescent polyps stopped providing light, and organisms created to regulate temperature were unable to continue. (VP, DTO, HT, NEGW)

Yorik-akaga
this was the Yuuzhan Vong term for one of their picket ships, used to patrol the boundaries of their naval fleets. (UF)

Yorik-et
this was the Yuuzhan Vong term for a coralskipper. (NJOSB)

Yorik-Kul
this was the form of yorik coral used by the Yuuzhan Vong to control their slaves. A piece of yorik-kul was implanted into the body of a slave, usually near the neck. Because the yorik-kul was linked to its parent coral, it could be sent signals that were then imposed onto the will of the victim. Over time, the yorik-kul multiplied within the body of its victim, with coral spawn taking hold throughout the victim's body. In this way, the entire body was eventually at the mercy of the original coral. The introduction of yorik-kul into a non-Yuuzhan Vong body caused physical deterioration over time, as the coral spawn consumed the energy being created by the victim. It was also discovered that, over time, yorik-kul served to cut off a victim's connection to the Force. (NEGW)

Yorik-stronha
this was the Yuuzhan Vong version of a picket ship, although its primary mission was reconnaissance and espionage. Like all Yuuzhan Vong warships, the yorik-stronha was created from living yorik coral, and resembled nothing more than a large asteroid. These ships averaged about 228 meters in length, and allowed a crew of twelve officer and twelve warriors to observe a remote location with minimal chances of being detected. These should were well-armed, having ten volcano cannons and a complement of dovin basals in case there was any fighting. Additionally, the yorik-stronha ship could transport up 142 metric tons of cargo. (FH3, NJOSB)

Yorik-ta
this was the basic Yuuzhan Vong form of escape pod. Roughly the size of an average landspeeder, the unarmed yorik-ta escape craft had a single dovin basal for maneuverability, and had a transparent canopy. (NEGV)

Yorik-trema
this was a form of landing craft developed by the Yuuzhan Vong. Formed of vastiv membranes covering a skeleton of yorik coral, these craft were designed to transport forces to the surface of a planet. Most of these were unarmed, and had to be escorted by coralskippers during their descent. Yorik-trema were shaped to have a number of sensitive eye, which were trained to maintain contact with the coralskipper escort during the descent. These craft were equipped with ablative shields formed from living scales, which would be burned off during descent but later regenerated like skin tissue. The ground forces transported within the yorik-trema were discharged to the surface of a planet via modified molleung worms. The average yorik-trema measured 34 meters in length, and was sometimes armed with a pair of volcano cannons and several dovin basals. Note that The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels indicates that the yorik-trema was forty-eight meters in length. This craft required a crew of four to operate, and could transport up to 36 troops and 35 metric tons of cargo. (BP, NJOSB, NEGV)

Yorik-vec
this was the primary Yuuzhan Vong assault cruiser, filling the gap between the coralskippers and the corvettes of their unusual fleet. These ships were dedicated warships, used for space combat more than transporting troops to battle arenas. On average, the Yorik-vec cruiser measured thirty meters in length, and required a creew of two pilots and three gunners to operate. The ship also had the capacity to handle eight additional passengers and up to 100 metric tons of materiel. The Yorik-vec cruiser was armed with a turret-mounted quad volcanic cannon, as well as four twin volcanic cannons. (GMR8)

Yorl Niba
this Twi'leki entertainer often performed at the Starlight Theater, on Abregado-Rae, during the height of the New Order. He absolutely hated Brinaloy N'Vaari, because her impersonation of a Twi'leki female drew bigger crowds than any of his own shows. (ND)

Yorlin
this Imperial stormtrooper was stationed aboard the Iron Fist during Warlord Zsinj's campaigns against the New Republic. When the Warlord hosted the senior members of the Hawk-bat Independent Space Force, Yorlin tried to rough up Lieutenant Dissek. Dissek, who was actually Kell Tainer, retaliated to the rough treatment, giving Yorlin a concussion and knocking out a few of his teeth. (IF)

Yorn
this wealthy Baron left his holdings on the planet Coruscant and traveled to the moon Kalakar Six, a century before the Battle of Yavin. Yorn was interested in the Dark Side of the Force, and had heard that Kalakar Six was a nexus of Dark Side power. He and his followers built a lavish fortress on the moon, to serve as the base from which they explored the Dark Side of the Force. One of the regular supply ships to Kalakr Six returned to find the entire group of Dark Side devotees dead, except for Yorn, who had gone mad and ripped out his eyes and tongue. (T9)

Yorn Skot
this gas giant was known as a source of natural tibanna gas, although it was not naturally spin-sealed like the tibanna gas found in Bespin's atmosphere. Some six years prior to the Battle of Naboo, the planet was essentially owned and governed by Clode Rhoden, without any intervention from the Old Republic. (TAE)

Yorn Skot Mining Station
this was the largest of the tibanna gas-mining stations owned by Clode Rhoden, and situated in orbit within Yorn Skot's tibanisphere. It was targeted by the environmental terrorist group known as the Green Force, who felt that Rhoden was stripping the planet of certain gases that supported unusual forms of life. Madam Rhoden and her consort, the terrorist known as Buck, had planned to destroy the station in an effort to expose Clode Rhoden's activities. However, Clode Rhoden discovered their affair, and planned to kill them both aboard the station. That way, he could claim the station was destroyed by the Green Forge, and claim the insurance money. Their plans were thwarted by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the Captain of the Aurorient Express detonated the core bomb before it could reach the station. (TAE)

Yoro
the roots of this plant were dried and ground into a fine powder, which was then mixed with liquids to form an indelible pigment that was often used in tattooes. (VD)

Yorr
this Imperial Captain was a former member of the Emperor's Demonstration Team, who later served as a test pilot on various TIE prototypes. He served as Jendon's wingman during several missions before co-piloting Darth Vader's personal shuttle prior to the Battle of Endor. (CCG11)

Yortal's Emporium
this general store was owned and operated by Yortal Ixlis, in the Ahto East section of Ahto City, on the planet Manaan, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (KOTOR)

Yorva-9
this Lambda-class shuttle was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong, shortly after their victory at Falleen. Using a surge-coral-controlled slave, the Yuuzhan Vong flew the shuttle into evacuation efforts on worlds such as Druckenwell, where an alien ship might be stopped quickly. The use of a familiar ship allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to get close to transports and freighters carrying refugees, such as the Chilastra, so that warriors could board the refugee ships and search for Jedi Knights or other worthy beings to sacrifice. During the attempt to capture Ka-Tu-Un, the Captain of the Chilastra actually opened a landing bay for the Yorva-9, unaware of the Yuuzhan Vong crew hiding inside. (GMR8)

Yosger
this being was a well-known smuggling baron who maintained a base on the moon of Carz. During the Galactic Civil War, he branched out into the profitable business of weapons running and armament supply.

Young Security Squad
after The Young defeated the elders of the Daan and Melida, they began taking steps to bring a new government to the city of Zehava and the planet Melida/Daan. Led by Nield, the new government established the Young Security Squad to ensure no further uprising occurred. The original leader of the squad was the thirteen-year-old Obi-Wan Kenobi, who had renounced his Jedi training to remain on Melida/Daan with The Young. (UP)

Young, The
made up of the teenagers from the societies of the Melida and the Daan, The Young were considered a minor nuisance to their elders. However, The Young maintained no affiliation to either faction, instead remaining neutral despite their individual heritages. Many of them were orphaned when their parents and family were killed in one of the battles for control of Zehava. About a decade before the Battle of Naboo, The Young was formed by the disenchanted children who witnessed their parents fighting endlessly over a few square meters of ground, spending credits on military supplies while children went hungry and fell sick due to lack of medical supplies. The Young hated the way that their parents used the children as free labor in munitions factories. The Young recognized that the war was destroying viable farmland and continuing a hatred between the Melida and the Daan that was based on petty incidents in the distant past. They hated the fact that their parents revered the dead more than they cared for their own children, and stayed away from the Halls of Evidence at all times. Members of The Young rescued Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Melida, in an effort to stop the violence and prevent the Old Republic from being blackmailed into taking sides the civil war. However, The Young were no less militant that their parents, and were capable of causing great damage on their own. With the help of Obi-Wan, The Young were able to convince the Middle Generation to support their cause, and eventually defeated the elders of the Daan and Melida. Their leadership was quickly shattered, though, as Nield ignored the basic needs of his people and was overruled one several counts by Cerasi and Obi-Wan. (DOD, UP)

Yo'uqiol
this Rodian word, pronounced "YO-ooo-qui-ol," literally translated to "the hand of death." (COG)

Yo'uqiol
this carnivorous, mobile plant was discovered by the Rodians on their colony world of Ooo-sek. The name literally means "the hand of death," and was given because of its abundance and resiliency. The Empire even collected specimens for its own experiments. The yo'uqiol appeared to be a hybrid of plant and animal species, with roots that extend below the soil to collect water and tentacles which it ued to capture its prey. The average yo'uqiol measured 30 centimeters across, although Rodian hunters have told stories of specimens which measured five meters across, and resembled a flat flower. Surrounding the central body was a flat membrane tipped with tentacles, while the body contained a mouth and stinging spines. They fed on virtually anything that stumbled upon them, and this variety of diet made them healthy and adaptable. (COG)

YQ-400 Monitor
this was a droid-controlled patrol ship produced by the Nerfworks, otherwise known as Shipyard Lab 6671-X42. Measuring 36 meters in length, the YQ-400 was armed with a pair of laser cannons and four heavy ion cannons. Its primary mission profile was to patrol the outer edges of a solar system, watching for incoming starships while running with passive sensors. When an incoming ship was spotted, the YQ-400 scanned it for identification and then passed the information onto the system's primary starship control center. If the controllers responded with an all-clear signal, the YQ-400 broke off its pursuit to return to its patrol. Until the all-clear signal was received, the YQ-400 trailed the incoming ship, prepared to fire at it if provoked. While the design of the ship was sound, the Monitor lacked enough firepower to deter a serious threat. (GMR10)

YQ-series Patrol Ship
this was the designation of the line of droid-controlled system patrol craft which were jointly developed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation and Loronar Corporation, at the Shipyard Lab 6671-X42.

Yraka Nes
this female Wookiee worked as the medical doctor of the Wookiees of the Myyydril Cavern, after they began contracting the Poltur Virus. She spent many months isolating the virus and locating a cure, but her natural remedies required several rare plants that required extensive journeys to harvest. This meant that she had to hire other beings to locate them, while she tended to the other Wookiees. One of the things Yraka Nes found to be effective was a blanket made from the filaments exuded by webweavers. She also made luilris mushroom pies to keep up the health and spirits of her patients. (SWGAL)

Yrashu
this Force-sensitive race of green primates is native to the planet Baskarn. The Yrashu live in harmony with their environment, and create ceremonial maces from the roots of the Hmumfmumf tree. They eat the Mmhmm butterflies as a source of food. Those Yrashu which were tainted by the Dark Side of the Force were known collectively as The Low. They were tolerated by society, but looked down upon as delinquents and beings of low character. Most Yrashu speak in a strange language dominated by combinations of "schwa" and "mm" sounds. (SWJ2, AE)
