Swimming People of Dellalt
this race of aquatic sauropteroids was native to the planet Dellalt. Known as Sauropteroids or simply Swimmers, the Swimming People inhabited the planet's lakes and oceans. They were large creatures, attaining lengths of ten to fifteen meters. They had small heads atop long, muscular necks. They had blowholes instead of nostrils on top of their heads for breathing, and their mouths were filled with pointed teeth that were used to catch fish and other food. These teeth were also useful in battle. They had paddle-like flippers for locomotion, and short, heavy tails for steering and stability. They communicated in a form of speech not unlike Standard, using their mouths to form words. Their eyes were protected by nictitating membranes. The colors of their hides ranged from light gray to green and black. The swimming People were very territorial, and developed a set of Laws to govern their lives. These Laws had provisions for the other races native to Dellalt, since the Swimming People regularly interacted with the human Dellaltians. (HSL)

Swokes Swokes
native to the planet Makem Te, this pasty-skinned alien race was distinguished by its portly body and loose, pallid skin. The head of a Swokes Swokes was conical in shape, with a crown of horns on the brow and another set of horns at the point. The wide mouth of the Swokes Swokes was dominated by large, fang-like upper teeth, and sat below a small nose and two bulbous eyes. The nervous system of an individual Swokes Swokes was more similar to that of a flatworm than to most other humanoid races, and they had the ability to regenerate lost limbs if necessary. This gave them a certain bravado on the battlefield, where Swokes Swokes were known to be fanatical in their attacks. The Swokes Swokes were remarkable in their adaptations to their homeworld, although they were not technologically advanced. Their cities were delicate structures built from cast iron, giving them an underlying strength despite their appearance. Most Swokes Swokes transportation was in the form of domesticated schingas. One interesting aspect of the Swokes Swokes civilization was their use of gemstones to indicate power. Rather than displaying them on pieces of jewelry, most Swokes Swokes had gemstones implanted in their bodies near vital organs as a form of status symbol. (YJC1, WOTC, GORW)

Swoop
this was the generic term used to describe any small repulsorcraft larger than a speederbike, which was highly maneuverable, and was often used as a racing vehicle. The swoop was basically an overpowered respulsorlift engine pod with handlebars. It has a pair of landing skids mounted on its bottom, and a control panel attached to the handlebars. Gangs often use swoops because of their speed and compact design. Han Solo once raced swoops for a living. The basic swoop offered no protection for the rider, and were capable of speeds in excess of 600 kilometers an hour. Some swoops were modified for military use after the success of speeder bikes at Endor. Note that The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels claims that swoops had been in production across the galaxy for hundreds of thousands of years. (HSR, DFR, SWSB, EGV, SWI64, NEGV)

Swoopchasing
a form of swoop racing, a swoopchase involved negotiating a swoop through an obstacle course. The course consisted of five or more gravity obstacles which pushed or pulled the swoop away from the course. Often, the obstacles involved dangerous consequences for the racers. It was generally accepted that swoopchasing originated on the planet Omman, the brainchild of bored farmers. Over the decades, as the sport became more and more popular, races became sanctioned and league formed to govern the sport. Three of the most prominent courses were located on Socorro, Redcap, and Najiba, and any rider to win all three in succession was guaranteed a place in history. A fourth course on par with these was developed on Neftali. Minor racecourses, used in qualifying heats, were located on Omman, Tatooine, and Garos IV. (BSS)

In Master Skywalker's words, Jaina was to be "…a burning brand to your enemies, a brilliant fire to your friends."

Sy Snootles
a Pa'lowick singer with a long snout and skinny legs, Sy Snootles was known as one of the best jizz-wailers in the galaxy when she was employed by Evar Orbus. She disliked Orbus' brusque style, but knew that he was an excellent singer and musician. When Orbus was killed on Tatooine just prior to the Battle of Yavin, she suggested to her band-mates that they continue as a trio. She helped rename the Kitonak Snit, giving him the name Droopy McCool, and allowed Max Rebo to become the leader of the band. However, when Max agreed to play for Jabba the Hutt in return for all the food he could eat, she became angry. After arriving at Jabba's palace, Sy was approached by a number of parties to act as a spy against Jabba. She agreed to work for Lady Valarian, but was continually fed false information by Bib Fortuna. When Jabba was killed near the Sarlacc pit, Sy and the band jumped off the sail barge before it was destroyed, and fled into the desert. Following the death of Jabba and the disappearance of Droopy, Sy and Max decided to play for Lady Valarian as the Max Rebo Duo. Their partnership didn't last long, as Sy struck out on her own. However, her career quickly floundered, and she was reduced to touring backwater planets under a number of aliases. Working as Lips Teenek, she was approached by Quilsen and offered her first taste of phetaril spice. She quickly became addicted, and spent much of the rest of her life in a drug-induced stupor. (ROTJ, TJP, CCG9, SWI67)

She and her followers had hoped to convince her father to switch his allegiance to the Alliance, but he refused. Syayna was forced to go underground. When Luke Skywalker arrived on Jazbina on a diplomatic mission, Prepredenko tricked him into "rescuing" Syayna from a group of kidnappers. In reality, Prepredenko used Luke to discover the location of Syayna's rebel cell and arrest its members. Syayna was placed under house arrest and shackled in her rooms at the palace. Syayna pretended to want Luke dead as badly as Prepredenko, and he released her long enough for her to kill Luke. However, Syayna set the blaster to stun and knocked Luke out, then told her father that she would bring Luke's body up to the audience chamber. Instead, she spirited Luke away from the palace and brought him to her cell's hideout. However, they were discovered by Jal Te Gniev and Darth Vader at the same time. Syayna refused to turn over Luke, and in the face of a warehouse full of Jazbinan rebels, Vader elected to leave the planet. She and Raol then decided to dedicate their lives to each other. (VQ)

In an effort to win Luke's confidence, she made herself resemble Tanith Shire, who was still in Luke's thoughts. When she was finally able to draw Luke into her lair and control him, she reverted back to her true form: an ugly old hag. Luke was able to fight through her spell, and tried to escape. S'ybll then projected an image of Darth Vader to battle Luke, but he saw through the illusion and broke her spell. She then tried to use telekinetic powers to physically destroy Luke, but expended all her energies and died before she could rejuvenate herself. (CSW)

When the ancient natives of Necropolis believed she was a fake, they killed her own son and demanded that she bring him back to life as proof. Sycorax died of a broken heart, but not before she leveled a curse on the planet's inhabitants. The Curse of Sycorax states that, should the natives of Necropolis ever ignore their dead, the dead would rise up and take control of the planet. Sycorax and her son were supposedly buried in the Crypt of the Ancients. It was later revealed that her corpse was nothing more than rotting bones, and that she had no power to reach beyond the grave. (GOF2)

His world changed when he was nine years old, when Paxi witnessed Mace Windu's amazing, single-handed defeat of a seismic tank during the height of the Clone Wars. After the battle, Paxi provided Mace with a drink of water before the Jedi set off again. In the following years, the Sylo farm was eventuall abandoned, and Paxi was lost in history.

Sylvar
an ancient Cathar Jedi, Sylvar was apprenticed to Vodo Siosk-Baas shortly before the Great Sirth War. She was in love with Crado, whom she had married for life. She was despised by Exar Kun, one of her fellow students. In a training exercise with their lightsabers, Kun tried to goad her into making mistakes. He eventually pushed Sylvar over the edge, and she clawed him across the right cheek. He nearly killed her, especially when she accused him of not being a true Jedi. During the early times of the Sith War, Sylvar pursued her lover to the Stenness System, where Crado and Oss Willum were trying to kill Master Thon. She chose to fight Crado, and considered him lost to her forever. Sylvar remained loyal to the Jedi throughout the conflict, despite the fact that they allowed Ulic Qel-Droma to live after his alliance with Exar Kun killed Crado and nearly destroyed the Jedi Knights. During the Exis Convocation ten years later, Sylvar's voice was strongest in denouncing the Jedi's lack of action against Ulic. In an effort to divert her energies, Tott Doneeta took her to Ryloth with him, during his attempt to heal the rift between the Doneeta and R'lyek clans. Sylvar, skirting with the Dark Side of the Force in her hatred of Ulic, roused the Doneeta clan into a killing frenzy and nearly brought them into a war with the R'lyek. Tott avoided the conflict, and was forced to return Sylvar to Cathar. There, she met with Kharr and went on a blood hunt to try and regain her focus. Unfortunately, she slaughtered an entire colony of kiltiks before realizing that she was falling deeper into the Dark Side. When she learned that Vima Sunrider had traveled to Rhen Var to train under Ulic, Sylvar returned to Exis Station to offer her assistance to Nomi in an effort to locate Vima. However, Nomi had already left, so Sylvar hired Hoggon to take her to Rhen Var, where she hoped to kill Ulic once and for all. She confronted him, and when Ulic refused to kill her in battle, Sylvar found she didn't have the heart to kill him either. She powered her lightsaber off, but was unprepared for Hoggon's appearance. The little man shot Ulic in the back, believing that he had killed the greatest traitor to the Jedi order. Sylvar nearly killed Hoggon for his insolence, but let him escape. (DLS, TSW, EGC, TOJR)

Sylvn
this young Cerean woman was the daughter of Ki-Adi-Mundi and his honor-wife, Mawin. Like many teenagers, Sylvn was troubled by her loyalty to her family and her desire to fit in with her friends. She often sided with her friends, who were demanding the import of technology, rather than with her father. However, as her boyfriend Maj-Odo-Nomor was implicated in the death of another youth at t pro-tech rally, she was thrust into an existence she couldn't condone. When Maj started showing affection to Twin, rather than Sylvn, her resolve to listen closer to her father's words deeped. Meanwhile, to protect his "investment," Ephant Mon took Maj, Twin, and Sylvn to Tatooine for safe keeping. They stowed away on a transport ship, but were sharing the ship with divvik pupae.

This fungus survived via an odd form of photosynthesis, as well as by stealing nutrients from its host plant. Symbiospore gave off a moldt fragrance which permeated the surrounding forests. (SPG)

Symer
this beast, native to Serat, was the only known predator of the tymp. A healthy population of symers kept the population of the scavenging tymps to a minimum. Unfortunately for the Seratians, they believed that the organs and appendages of the symer contained mystical powers, and killed the predators just to obtain them. The destruction of the symer population allowed the tymps to reproduce at a prodigious rate, which eventually threatened to eliminate the supplies of roti consumed by the Seratians. (COG)

He later found a new sort of religion within the Church of the Dark Side, a group which had been sanctioned by Sate Pestage. While outwardly loyal to the New Order, Syn became increasingly more dedicated to the Church of the Dark Side, and even had the Prophetess Merilli at his side when he established his holdings at Kashyyyk. He was defeated by Admiral Ackbar during the liberation of Kashyyyk when his flagship, Fi, was destroyed. (ECH, SWI66)

Syndicat
this large, criminal organization took control of the planet Phindar some years before the Battle of Naboo. They kept the general populace poor and needy, so that hundred would line up for a single loaf of bread, rather than worry about rebelling against the Syndicat. The Syndicat went so far as to blockade the planet Phindar, to maintain its hold on the Phindians. It was led by the Phindian Baftu and his assistant, Terra, when Guerra and Paxxi Derida tried to enlist the help of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi in freeing Phindar form the Syndicat. The Syndicat went so far as to remove the memories of anyone suspected of acting against it, then set them free on another world as punishment. Sometimes, memory-wiped Phindians were let loose on Phindar itself, although far from their homes. This process was known as "renewal." The Syndicat began supporting Prince Beju of Gala, in his bid to win the general elections there, in the hopes of taking control of the planet Gala as well. This would allow them to extend their influence and increase their profits. However, their plans were exposed by the Derida brothers with the help of the Jedi, and the Syndicat was destroyed when Baftu was captured by the Phindian resistance. (HP)

Syndicate One
this organization was formed from the marketing division of Trigdale Metallurgy. Following the Battle of Endor, Trigdale cut off several of its subordinate divisions.

manufactured by Loronar Corporation after the formation of the New Republic, synthdroids were mechanical constructs which had sculpted synthflesh grown over their metal armatures. They had minimal internal computing power, since their actions were centrally controlled via the use of CCIR technology. Loronar supplied a number of synthdroids to Seti Ashgad and Dzym during their attempt to take control of the galaxy, for synthdroids proved to be excellent workers. Even when the Death Seed plague was consuming the synthflesh, the droid armature kept right on working.
