Vector Prime
this was the codename used by the Yuuzhan Vong to describe their path of galactic invasion. Starting from a point in the Yuuzhan Vong's own galaxy, the Praetorite Vong traveled along Vector Prime and made first contact with the known galaxy at Helska, where their first ship established a base of operation. Through the efforts of Yomin Carr, they destroyed the planet Belkadan and planned to use it as a breeding ground for yorik coral. Next, Vector Prime continued on to Sernpidal, which was destroyed when a dovin basal drew the moon Dobido into a collision with the planet. Next on the vector were Destrillion and Dubrillion, but it was here that the first wave of the invasion force encountered stiff resistance. The New Republic was alerted to the presence of the alien invaders, and the base on Helska was destroyed. However, the Republic's leadership turned a blind eye to the scope of the Yuuzhan Vong threat, believing that Leia Organa Solo magnified its impact in order to regain political power. When Vector Prime consumed the worlds of Bimmiel, Dantooine, and Garqi, Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya was forced to concede his mistake and yield more power to the military in order to counteract the Yuuzhan Vong forces. With the destruction of the planet Obroa-skai, Vector Prime had captured or destroyed thirty planetary systems. After taking Bimmisaari and Nal Hutta, the Yuuzhan Vong made a series of strikes toward the Core. The fleet was split to attack the worlds of Tynna, Duro, and Ord Mantell. These victories gave the Yuuzhan Vong staging areas from which to attack the shipyards at Bilbringi and Fondor, as well as a direct path into the Core Worlds. (VP, DTO, HT, EVR)

Veda
this woman was the Queen of the planet Gala, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. Veda became the ruler of the planet after her husband, Cana, passed away. As her own life came to an end, she began putting in place the mechanisms to have her successor chosen by democratic vote. This angered her son, Beju, who believed he should be the rightful ruler after her death. Veda knew that Beju might not be the true heir, knowing that Cana once married a woman of the hill clans, and fathered a daughter named Elan. She loaned Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi a starfighter when they were dispatched to the planet Melida/Daan to rescue Tahl, then requested their assistance in ensuring a democratic vote for her successor. Veda had planned to abdicate the throne, knowing that she was about to die. (DOD, MOC)

Veda
this young girl was one of the many children studying at the Jedi Temple, on the planet Coruscant, during the height of the Clone Wars.

this man grew up in the swamps of Naboo, and grew to become a skilled guide and explorer. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Vedd established a small trading outpost in the swamps, and used his skills to assist the Royal Security Forces whenever needed. He supported Queen Amidala and the RSF, and helped the force during the liberation of the planet from the control of the Trade Federation. (BFN)

Vedij, Dhas Feneop
this man was the son of Ronnan Tyla Vedij and a native of Coruscant. Like his father, Dhas joined the Imperial Navy and had a distinguished career. After earning the rank of Captain, Dhas was promoted to serve aboard the frigate Far Orbit. He was second in command of the Far Orbit when Alderaan was destroyed, and had become disgruntled with the leadership of Captain Kenit. The destruction of the planet, and the propaganda that followed, further soured Vedij's loyalty to the Empire. The deaths of his parents in a so-called traffic accident added fuel to the fire. After Kenit ordered the destruction of the Silent Blades, losing an entire starfighter squadron - and Elon Vedij's life in the process - Dhas could no longer contain his hatred of Kenit and the Empire. Vedij and a group of followers (about two-thirds of the crew) staged a mutiny, and successfully wrested control of the frigate from Captain Kenit. They then became independent privateers, and allied themselves with the Alliance in order to obtain funding and strike back at the Empire. Vedij and his crew participated in a series of raids on Imperial installations in the Ringali Shell, during the Alliance's experiment in using pirates and privateers to assist in the Galactic Civil War. (FOP)

Vedij, Elon
this man was Dhas Vedij's younger brother. Like his father and brother before him, Elon joined the Imperial Navy, and later served with Dhas aboard the Far Orbit as a starfighter pilot. When Captain Kenit ordered the destruction of the Silent Blades, he ordered a full squadorn of starfighters to attack their base. Elon's squadron was dispatched, but was eventually wiped out by the pirates. Elon was killed in the assault. (FOP)

Vedij, Ronnan Tyla
a Baron with family holdings on Coruscant, Ronnan was not content to live a comfortable life like his ancestors. Instead, he elected to join the Imperial Navy and serve the Emperor. He led a distinguished career, earning the rank of Captain after saving his ship and crew from a pirate attack after the death of his commanding officer and after receiving serious wounds himself. Vedij ended his career as a full Admiral, and retired to the family estate on Coruscant. After retiring, Ronnan began voicing his opinion of the Emperor's use of a huge war machine to scare the galaxy into submission. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, he and his wife were killed in what was officially deemed a traffic accident. (FOP)

this Imperial stormtrooper was part of the detachment sent to Golrath, as part of Lieutenant Giel's mission to discover the whereabouts of the Alliance, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. Vee had graduated from the Imperial Academy with his friend, Bens Figg, although Vee was always second in line to Figg's exploits. Whatever Figg earned, Vee seemed to earn it shortly afterward. When Leia Organa infiltrated the Imperial base on Golrath, Vee was knocked unconscious just after Figg, allowing Leia to gain further access to the base. (MC65)

this red-skinned humanoid represented his homeworld of Sarrish in the Galactic Senate during the height of the Clone Wars. Senator Awmetth was originally trained as a member of the Sarrish Defense Force, and continued to wear the tunic of an officer during his tenure in the Seante. (VD3)

Veedo Vaocan
this Rodian spurned all the violent and agressive tendencies of his species, and shunned the holidays which Rodians held to venerate hunters and warriors. Eventually, Veedo was exiled from Rodia and was discovered by the Alliance. In an effort to remain peaceful during the epic conflict which spread through the galaxy, Veedo choose to study medicine, and eventually became a renowned doctor. Known as "Doc Rodian," Veedo served as the chief medic at the Tierfon base for many years. He was recognizable by the missing antennae on the right side of his head, the result of being too close to a battlefield explosion. Thus, he could only hear with his left side. (HR)

Her ship holed by a plasma bomb, while she was trying to escort a freighter full of refugees away from Coruscant. Her X-Wing exploded, killing Veema and setting off a chain reaction which destroyed the freighter as well. (DJ)

Veerdo Veerone
this Rodian dramatist was known as the author of The Unquiet Spirit Arises from the Swamp, and immense play. (HR)

Veermok
this vicious, gorilla-like creature was native to the planet Naboo. The veermok inhabited the plains and forests of the planet, staying well away from the swamps. They were quite large and very fast on their feet, and have sharp teeth and large claws with which to attack their prey. The Gungans often use veermoks as guards for their waste yards, and a veermok trained from birth could become loyal and protective to its master. In the wild, veermoks were solitary beasts that congregating only during the mating season. (SW1, SON, WSW)

Veermok
this was the alias used by the obese, bald man who was one of Naboo's most wanted criminals, during the reign of King Veruna. He was linked by Lieutenant Panaka to the Gungan criminal Kroke Modbom, after Panaka discovered Veermok's team in the caves below Naboo's surface. He admitted to Panaka that he and his forces were working to find the balance between the human and Gungan natives of Naboo, hoping to break the pro-human government of King Veruna and unite the peoples of the planet. Veermok understood that the Gungans were the true natives of Naboo, and that they were able to sense when the planet's natural balance was disrupted. Veermok had captured Panaka, but the death throes of a sando aqua monster disrupted his plans and allowed Panaka to get free. Veermok was killed when he was killed by Sate Pestage, on Naboo to take custody of Kroke Modbom. Pestage's laser blast took him square in the chest. Panaka demanded that Pestage be arrested on charges of murder and conspiracy, but Captain Magneta refused to grant this wish. (GMR2)

Veerpal Squadron
this was one of the Imperial starfighter units which was garrisoned on Redcap during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ5)

Veers, Maximillian
Veers has been an Imperial soldier nearly his entire life. He trained as the commander of an All-Terrain Armored Transport. He was part of General Irrv's mission to subdue the planet Culroon III, and was nearly court-martialled for telling Irrv that the ruse of a peaceful ceremony would be less effective than an all-out assault on the Culroon people. When Veers was proven correct, Irrv was executed by Commander Grath, who then promoted Veers to Major. Veers learned that mistakes were not to be tolerated by the Empire, and when Davin Felth pointed out that the AT-AT was vulnerable due to its legs, he carefully hid the information and shipped Felth off to Tatooine. Veers was assigned to the first Death Star, and managed to escape in a shuttle just before the battle station exploded. His shuttle crashed on Yavin 4, and he was forced to survive for days before an Imperial rescue team found him. After assuming the rank of Colonel, he was part of the garrison stationed on Corellia during the early years of the New Order, and was dispatched by Grand Admiral Thrawn to "assist" Hal and Corran Horn in capturing Zekka Thyne. After Thrawn described Veers' bravery and leadership skills to Darth Vader, Veers was promoted to Imperial Army General, and he led the AT-AT assault on the Hoth Rebel base. Veers again survived the battle, after jumping free of his walker when it was destroyed by a disabled Alliance snowspeeder. He later served under Executor Sedriss during Operation Shadow Hand, and died during the Battle of Balmorra. Note that in the novelization of Star Wars: Epsiode V - The Empire Strikes Back, Veers was killed when Hobbie crashs his disabled snowspeeder into Veers' walker, disabling the walker and causing it to explode. (ESB, ESBR, DE2, TME, TFE, NEGC)

Veers, Zevulon
the son of Maximillian Veers, Zev grew up wondering why the Empire stood for so many wonderful things, yet destroyed entire races and enslaved others. He reluctantly joined his local SAGroup battalion, but the New Order was notvery much to his liking. When his father told him that certain comments and questions Zev had made were endangering his career, Zev vowed to be anything but like his father. He endured his Imperial training, as well as the glory his father received from the Battle of Hoth. When his commanding officer brutally torture an elderly man suspected of supporting the Alliance, Zev's better judgement took over. He helped the man, and was taken prisoner by Alliance agents trying to rescue him. Zev was questioned, but the Alliance could find no reason to distrust him. Zev became an Alliance soldier just prior to the Battle of Endor. As a gunner in the New Republic navy, he served aboard the Emancipator during the first Battle of Calamari. He was also part of the assault which attacked Byss by hiding inside the Emperor's shipment of Viper Automadons. (DE1, DESB, DE2)

VeerTa
this Meerian woman was the leader of the Home Planet Party, some 12 years before the Battle of Naboo. She was fiercely loyal to her people and her homeworld of Bandomeer, and strove to forge an alliance with the Arconans that shared the planet in order to restore it to its natural beauty. However, in order to further her plans and ideals, VeerTa entered into a secret pact with Xanatos. This put her in between her own political party, which worked with Arcona Mineral Harvest Corporation, and the leaders of Offworld Mining Company. VeerTa hoped that this alliance would free Bandomeer once Xanatos had exacted his revenge against Qui-Gon Jinn, but she ultimately discovered that she was just a pawn in Xanatos' plans to destroy the planet. VeerTa was exposed after Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan Kenobi thwarted Xanatos' plans, and she was removed from office. (DR)

Vegath Tist
this Arcona was a member of the crew of the New Republic starship FarStar, during the hunt for Moff Sarne. He had been outcast from Cona for an unknown deed, although it may have had something to do with his addiction to salt. Vegath ended up on Kal'Shebbol in search of more salt to feed his desires, and one on the planet when the New Republic ousted Sarne from power. He was hired by the New Republic for his expertise with explosives. When the FarStar arrived at the planet Kathol, Tist was regarded as another piece of DarkStryder technology by the native Yapi tribes. (DARK, KR, E)

Vehn, Remis
this man was a member of the Peace Brigade team which blockaded the Yavin System, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. However, Vehn claimed to have no affiliation with the Peace Brigade when he was approached by Anakin Skywalker. Anakin had been trying to rescue Sannah, Valin Horn, and Tahiri Veila, and needed Vehn's ship to take them away from Yavin 4. Vehn, fearing that the Jedi would melt his brain if he refused, allowed them to take the ship. He then allowed himself to be "forced" to cooperate, believing that the Jedi would take control of his mind if he didn't. Remis's beliefs about the Jedi were straighted out after he was paired with Qorl. The two were supposed to wait for Anakin's rescue of Tahiri, avoiding the Yuuzhan Vong at all costs. The pair managed to survive, and rescued Anakin and Tahiri just as they escaped the damutek complex of the Shapers. (EVC)

this cloud of molecular gases was located just Coreward of the boundary between the Mid Rim and the Expansion Region. (TOJC)

Veila, Cassa
this woman was Tahiri Veila's mother. Cassa and her husband, Tryst, were strong with the Force, and they were among the more compassionate of the moisture farmers on Tatooine during the early years of the New Republic. When they found the Tusken Raider Sliven after his tribe was attacked by smugglers, Cassa and Tryst took him in and nursed him back to health. Sliven never forgot their generosit or their compassion, especially after spending time with their daughter, Tahiri. After several months, Sliven was nearly strong enough to return to his tribe. He had begun teaching Tryst how to fight with a gaderffi as a way to build up his own strength. However, Sliven was unaware that his tribe was still searching for him. A group of Tusken Raiders came upon the Veila farm and witnessed Sliven and Tryst practicing with their gaderffi sticks. Believing that Sliven was in trouble, the Raiders attacked and killed both Tryst and Cassa in order to recover him. Tahiri was taken in and raised by the Tusken Raiders after Sliven demanded that she be adopted, much to the dismay of Vexa. (P, ECH)

Veila, Tahiri
a native of the planet Tatooine, Tahiri was suddenly orphaned as a young child when her parents were killed in the desert by Tusken Raiders. They were moisture farmers, and Tahiri grew up with the determination of her parents. She would have died of exposure, but she was taken in by Sliven and his tribe and raised as one of their own for five years. When she was nine, Luke Skywalker and Tionne found her on Tatooine, and she was allowed to accompany them to Yavin 4 to attend the Junior Jedi Academy. She befriended Anakin Solo, and the two suddenly discovered that they were experiencing the same dream. The dream led them to discover the Golden Globe beneath the Palace of the Woolamander, and introduced them to the ancient Jedi Master Ikrit. She was a very natural child, preferring to walk around the jungle complexes in her bare feet in order to feel the world around her. She was known for her pale yellow hair and green eyes. After solving the puzzle of the Golden Globe, Tahiri continued to study on Yavin 4. She befriended Anakin despite the fact that he was two years older, and she eventually graduated into the Jedi praxeum and training under Kam Solusar and Tionne. While on Dagobah, Tahiri discovered that her grandfather had actually been a Jedi Knight, but had been hunted down and killed during the Jedi Purge ordered by Emperor Palpatine. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Tahiri found herself trapped on Yavin 4 with Sannah and Valin Horn. The two younger students managed to reach Kam Solusar, but Tahiri was captured. She was given over to Mezhan Kwaad and Nen Yim, who kept her under control long enough to map her neural pathways in an attempt to isolate the Force. The goal of the Shapers was to create a living bridge between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Jedi Knights. Part of Tahiri's captivity involved the breaking of her will and the implanting of memories that twisted her sense of reality. Mezhan Kwaad hoped to alter Tahiri's mind into believing that she was, in fact, a Yuuzhan Vong adept who had been captured by the New Republic's infidels. Tahiri struggled to maintain her link to the Force, although she barely managed to keep herself whole before Anakin rescued her. When she realized that he loved her, Tahiri dragged herself out of the false memories implanted in her mind, although she maintained the illusion of being a cooperative slave long enough to trick Mezhan Kwaad. Tahiri then picked up Anakin's lightsaber and beheaded Mezhan Kwaad, and she escaped Yavin 4 with Anakin. She feared that her killing of Mezhan Kwaad had also destroyed her mind, but Anakin swore he would help her recover. Tahiri soon regained control of her mind, although the Yuuzhan Vong language and demeanor remained within her. This allowed her to communicate in with the alien invaders, as well as to understand them during conversation. After capturing the Stalking Moon, Tahiri and Anakin discovered that their relationship had taken another step, as they began to fall in love. Unfortunately for Tahiri, Anakin was killed while trying to kill the voxyn queen at Myrkr. Tahiri had to watch as he fell, and she sank into a deep state of despair. She continued to fight as a Jedi Knight, but her spirit had been quelled. At the suggestion of Saba Sebatyne, Tahiri joined a group of Jedi aboard the Ralroost near Kashyyyk, in an effort to develop a technique to Force-meld minds together. While the exercise had a decidedly military outcome, Saba correctly guessed that the close promixity of other Jedi minds would help bring Tahiri out of her shell. Tahiri was ostensibly promoted to squadron commander under Kre'fey's command, working as an advisor to the fleet which massed as Kashyyyk and launched raids on Yuuzhan Vong-controlled space. Her Barefoot Squadron proved to be loyal and dedicated, and helped to build her confidence as a pilot and leader. However, Anakin's death and her imprisonment by the Yuuzhan Vong continued to plague her mind, and her connection to the Force flared up stringly whenever she encountered a Yuuzhan Vong individual or artifact. She fainted into deep unconsciousness after the Galactic Alliance regrouped at Calamari, one on Calamari itself and later on Galantos when she found a pendant depicting Yun-Yammka. These spells worried Jaina Solo the most, since she too retained a connection to Anakin. It was later discovered that the spells were caused by the Riina Kwaad personality, which was trying to survive by casting out Tahiri's mind. Riina even found a way to use Tahiri's connection to the Force, and the Ryn Goure was the first to suggest that Tahiri had to find a way to live with Riina in order to survive. This process took many painful months, until Tahiri herself realized that killing Riina would mean killing herself. The two personalities found a way to merge, and the new being which resulted from this union was a perfect combination of Jedi Knight and Yuuzhan Vong. After a brief mission to Dagobah, Tahiri found herself bound to a promise of izai she made to Hul Qat, and she requested permission to locate Yu'shaa, the Prophet of the Yuuzhan Vong Shamed Ones on Coruscant. Accomanpied by Corran Horn, Tahiri managed to infiltrate Coruscant, which had been reformed into a simulacrum of the long-lost planet Yuuzhan'tar. Along with the Prophet, Tahiri and Corran picked up Harrar and Nen Yim before fleeing Coruscant and setting out for Zonama Sekot. On the planet, Tahiri found herself in the middle of the struggle between Nom Anor and the living planet, shortly after she discovered that the former Executor had killed Nen Yim. After the Yuuzhan Vong surrendered at Coruscant some months later, Tahiri decided to remain on Zonama Sekot with Tekli and the Yuuzhan Vong, in an effort to learn more about herself and her relationship with Riina. Master Skywalker had one final request for her as she left with the planet: to locate the Widowmaker so that it could be brought home safely. Five years later, when UnuThul sent out his call for help, Tahiri was among seven young Jedi who dropped whatever mission they were currently on and traveled to the Unknown Regions to answer the call. Unlike Zekk and Jaina Solo, Tahiri believed that the Chiss were planning to destroy every hive of the Colony, despite the fact that the Force had given the Jedi no indications of the true nature of the conflict. (GG, LW, P, AQ, JE, EVC, EVR, SBS, Y, FH1, FH2, FH3, FP, UF, DN1)

Veila, Tryst
this man was Tahiri Veila's father. Tryst and his wife, Cassa, were strong with the Force, and they were among the more compassionate of the moisture farmers on Tatooine during the early years of the New Republic. When they found the Tusken Raider Sliven after his tribe was attacked by smugglers, Cassa and Tryst took him in and nursed him back to health. Sliven never forgot their generosit or their compassion, especially after spending time with their daughter, Tahiri. After several months, Sliven was nearly strong enough to return to his tribe. He had begun teaching Tryst how to fight with a gaderffi as a way to build up his own strength. However, Sliven was unaware that his tribe was still searching for him. A group of Tusken Raiders came upon the Veila farm and witnessed Sliven and Tryst practicing with their gaderffi sticks. Believing that Sliven was in trouble, the Raiders attacked and killed both Tryst and Cassa in order to recover him. Tahiri was taken in and raised by the Tusken Raiders after Sliven demanded that she be adopted, much to the dismay of Vexa. (P, ECH)

Vel
this Toydarian slicer worked with Erli Prann and his group of salvage pirates, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was Vel's hard work that revealed the possible existence of one of the Golan II battle stations in the Bilbringi System. After he cracked into a Imperial computer system, Vel managed to learn that the stationed had been cloaked by Grand Admiral Thrawn, and was still at Bilbringi. The pirates then acquired a crystal grav-trap detector and located the battle station. However, the Yuuzhan Vong capture of the Bilbringi shipyards forced them into hiding. It was Erli Prann who allowed the station to be located by the crew of the Mon Mothma during Operation Trinity, so that he could lure hyperdrive-capable ships to the station. In this way, the pirates could salvage the hyperdrives from the New Republic ships and use them to power the battle station. Despite Vel's vigilance, Jaina Solo managed to use the Force to alter Prann's recollection of his hyperspace jump coordinates, and the station ended up trying to jump through a Yuuzhan Vong interdictor. While Prann and his people weren't clear of the Yuuzhan Vong, their proximity to the interdictor allowed them to pound the ship and clear an escape route for the Galactic Alliance forces. Prann then tried to fight his way clear, but Vel demanded that he surrender the Golan station to the Galactic Alliance. He refused, but was eventually subdued. Once he was remvoed from control, Vel and the rest of the pirates agreed to turn the station over. (FP)

She became a well-known hunt saboteur, hoping to get the chance to work against Boba Fett and confront him. She believed that she had finally killed him in the Extrictarium Nebula, but her victim turned out to be the insane clone Alpha-02. She took his armor and used it to masquerade as Fett, taking away from his image in much the same way that Jodo Kast once had. Despite her actions, Ailyn held true to the Bounty Hunter's Creed, but she took any bounty she could fond. Ailyn worked for many employers, including the Diversity Alliance and Bwahl the Hutt. After believing Fett to be dead on Shogun, Ailyn permanently adopted his identity, but she disappeared during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (SWI80)

Vel, Sintas
this raven-haried Kiffu woman was one of the galaxy's lesser-known bounty hunters. Nevertheless, Sintas was quite skilled and able to track her targets for long periods of time. It was rumored that she was, at one time, married to Boba Fett and became the mother of Fett's child. Their split was amicable, but was one of the galaxy's best-kept secrets. The loanshark Pizztov claimed to have a hologram which portrayed their family, and threatened to auction it off at the Eport auction house if Fett didn't accede to his demands. In the end, Pizztov was shot and killed by Fett, who acknowledged Sintas' part in his life and then left her to ponder their failed relationship. Sintas continued to work as a bounty hunter, although only to support her yougn daughter, Ailyn. Unfortunately, Sintas was killed during a mission to earn some pin-money, leaving Ailyn an orphan.

Velcar Free Commerce Zone
despite what its name implies, the Velcar Free Commerce Zone was a secretive, restrictive sector of the galaxy governed by a group of Master Commerce Commissioners. It controlled by the Pentastar Alignment during the early years of the New Republic, as many of its corporate leaders allied themselves with Moff Ardus Kaine. Many of the star systems within the VFCZ were inhabited by primitive species, and the corporate leaders were not afraid to use them as "indentured laborers," having loyally served the Empire years before.

Velerinden, Kullan
this man was the son of a petty thief, and was native to the planet Elrood. After trying to attack an off-duty Imperial officer, Kullan was beaten to within an inch of his life and given two choices: go to jail or enlist in the Imperial Army. He enlisted, and became known as a resourceful, brave warrior who could pilot an AT-ST as if it were part of himself. However, his background was never far from his mind, and he set himself up as his unit's procurement officer. In this position, he worked to obtain the best supplies for his unit, only to turn around and sell them to black marketeers in return for lesser-quality supplies. In this way, Kullan made a small fortune for himself without the Empire knowing about it. The fortune did Kullan little good personally, as he gambled most of it away. When a more honorable officer discovered his duplicity and threatened to expose him, Kullan used all his political favors to destroy his accuser's credability and then got himself placed in charge of a small command on the planet Tasariq to avoid further attention. (SWJ15)

Velin Wir
a member of the Caarite race, Velin Wir served the Metatheran Cartel as the primary representative on the planet Cularin, many years before the Battle of Naboo. He was considered porcine in appearance, moreso than most members of his race, and just a little too soft to be believable. Many beings considered him nothing more than a sleazy politician, sent to Cularin to quell the population into believing the Cartel was acting in the best interests of the local population. Velin Wir also had some sensitivity to the Force, and even managed to obtain a working lightsaber to defend himself with. Unknown to Wir, the lightsaber was made available to him by agents of Riboga, who had placed a small transmitter inside the hilt. The transmitter sent a signal to a small thermal detonator which had been secretly placed in Wir's chest, forcing him to keep the lightsaber within ten feet of his body at all times. Near the end of Wir's tenure on Cularin, the Cartel presented a fully-armed freighter to the Cularin people, as a gesture of their goodwill and assistance in defending the planet. It was discovered that the ship - known as the XP-38 - was fitted with a transmitter that relayed a wealth of data back to an undiscovered source. The people of Cularin viewed this as a breach of trust. Shortly after this discovery, Velin Wir mysteriously passed away, although many contributed his death to the underground resistance that sprang up to fight against the Cartel. His death set off a public relations nightmare for the Cartel, which eventually led to the Cularin government expelling the Cartel from any further operations on the planet. (LFC, LFCW, EOS)

Velker
a V-shaped, flying predator native to the planet Bespin, the velker was the primary hunter of the balloon-shaped beldon. These creatures are covered with a tough, armor-like hide, and have hard claws. The velkers are pack-hunters, and will gang up on any beldons they happen to find in the upper atmosphere. The pack will first rip open the beldon's gasbag, which causes it to begin to sink. The velkers then feed on the carcass as it sinks, a feast which can last for days due to the huge size of the average beldon. Velkers are fast flyers, and they generate a small electric field around their bodies. This field helped disrupt the beldon's own electrical field, allowing the velker to get close enough to attack without warning the beldon. The field also served as a defense mechanism. (GG2, ISU, WSW)

Vellam, Nox
this former Imperial General served as the Governor of the Bright Jewel System and its surrounding sector during the height of the New Order. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, several of Vellam's planets were discovered to be minor bases used by the Alliance in the area, and Vellam was forced to explain this to the Emperor. Palpatine punished Vellam by placing five of his most productive planets under the control of Darth Vader. Vellam became angry with Vader, but found himself helpless to do anything about. Then the Battle of Yavin took place, and Vader was lost in his TIE Advanced starfighter. Vellam was disgraced when it was learned that the Alliance had been using Yavin 4 as a base, a moon in a system that was under Vellam's control. When Vader's cockpit suddenly appeared on Ord Mantell - right in the middle of the Bright Jewel System - Vellam tried to recover it and eliminate Vader. Unfortunately for Vellam, the cockpit was recovered by Captain Sodarra and his team and brought to Tatooine. (SL, GORW)
