Stenness System
the Stenness System was actually a collection of seven mining worlds in three primary star systems, encompassing about 25 humanoid races. Due to the demand for the ores mined on the various planets, it was given its own hyperspace jump gate very early on. According to Dark Empire, the systems were discovered about 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. However, Tales of the Jedi indicates that it as an already-established system, with its own hyperspace jump gate. The mines gave out long ago, but the wealth they provided was still generating interest and good lifestyles for the planets' inhabitants. The system's inhabitants, often refered to as 'Nessies, were highly addicted to spice. (TOJ, DE1)

Stenos
Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, and Chewbacca sought the bounty hunter Bossk on this planet, sometime after the Battle of Hoth. The planet had once been the site of an Alliance base, during the early days of the Galactic Civil War, but it was eventually overrun by Imperial forces. The Imperial occupation earned the hatred of the Stenax race, which launched the Stenax Massacres some ten months after the Battle of Endor to try and strike back at their oppressors. However, the civilian casualties were exceptionally high, and the New Republic military was forced to put an end to the Stenaxes' invasions. Ultimately, monitoring posts were erected in orbit around Stenos to keep track of the activities of the Stenax. (MC70, GMR1)

Stent
this Chiss, whose full name was Kres'ten'tarthi, served as Voss Parck's righthand man at the Hand of Thrawn compound on Nirauan during the Galactic Civil War. He was also the leader of Thrawn's personal household phalanx, and was one of the few Chiss who felt that Thrawn was a born leader who was working in his race's best interests, and shouldn't have been exiled. He heeded Thrawn's message, to wait ten years after the report of his death before he would return to lead them to power once again. Stent bided his time, until Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker arrived on the planet to investigate the Hand of Thrawn. After the facility was nearly destroyed, Stent continued to serve the Nuruodo phalanx, and was on duty when the Skywalkers returned to Nirauan three years later, at the request of Voss Parck.

this Troob was the wife of the Troob leader, General Krax, and accompanied him to the negotiations with Counselor Harthan. She served as a somewhat-impartial translator for Harthan, since Chief Nimondro refused to speak Basic. When C-3PO intervened to translate, Stigrit managed to win the droid away from Harthan in a sabacc match. She hoped to keep the droid from undermining her own plans for the negotiations, chiefly gaining a position of power for the Troobs. In the confusion that followed, Jake Harthan tried to gain control of Mount Yeroc for himself, and held Stigrit Krax as a hostage.

He declined the opportunity to remain in the Imperial military, retiring from active duty until he began to realize what Emperor Palpatine was doing to the galaxy. Despite his skills in supply and ordnance, he couldn't adjust to the impromptu actions of T'Charek Haathi, who was also stationed on Gelgelar.

developed for the Empire by Arakyd during the early years of the New Order, this tall, cylindrical droid was designed to guard remote outposts. It contained a unique biorecognition package that could identify the biomagnetic signature of virtually any race or species. Data was provided to the Stiletto droid from interrogation sessions, and had to be hardcoded into the droid's computer memory ROM. The Stiletto series was equipped with a small repulsorlift propulsion system, and was armed with a pair of blaster cannons. These systems allowed the Stiletto to use its tracking routines to hunt down an escaped prisoner or specific target. The tracking and targetting routines of the Stiletto were quite accurate, and escapees had to rely on luck to get away. Because of their age, many Stilettoes were still in use during the New Republic's early years. (TBSB, FTD)

Each of the stiltwalkers legs were tipped with a sharp claw, which is used to grip the ground. It used a sticky tongue to grab hold of the small insects is fed on. Xenobiologists believe that male and female stiltwalkers evolved from unique species, since the females breathe water and have thick tentacles instead of legs. However, analysis revealed that all stiltwalkers evolved from the same genetic source. They communicate via high-pitched chirps, which allow males to sound an alarm whenever the females of their group were threatened. (COG)

The Stinger was modified to have increased power output, allowing it to achieve speeds up to 1,150 kilometers an hour in atmosphere. Maneuverability was enhanced by giving the pilot control of each of its eight exhaust nozzles. Emergency braking jets added the ability to stop quickly, allowing pursuit to speed ahead and into target range. An H2-1 hyperdrive system gives it long-range punch. Weaponry consists of two forward-mounted ion cannons and a top-mounted laser cannon. (SE, EGV)

This smashing of bodies released a noxious odor that rendered most humanoid races unable to breathe, forcing them out of the structure and into the waiting Yuuzhan Vong forces. (UF)

One of these schemes - the intentional crippling of a podracer to ensure a certain local racer was able to win - earned him a bounty on his head from the Galactic Podracing Circuit Underwriters' Union.
