Agira, Nyrat
this woman was a frequent patron of the Outlander Club, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. Easily distinguished by red hair which was done up in the Solloops style, Nyrat Agira was constantly trying to become part of the "in" crowd. Her eyes had been surgically altered to be more appealing, in an effort to attract a potential mate. An elaborate tattoo adorned her abdomen, announcing her religious affiliation as a member of the Zealots of Psusan. Nyrat cruised the club scene, especially the Outlander Club, in order to make sure she was seen as well as to observe the latest trends. Note that Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Episode II names this character as Agira Nyrat. (OWS, SWDB, IWE2)

Agonizer
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was under the command of Admiral Teren Rogriss. It was dispatched to Adumar to escort the 181st Fighter Group during the negotiations between the Adumari, the New Republic, and the Empire. Rogriss took the ship out of the Adumar system when the Adumari chose to side with the New Republic, then he joined the Adumari armed forces. The Agonizer later returned to Adumar under Imperial orders to subjugate the planet. However, the New Republic was able to mass a defensive fleet and drive off the Imperials. The Agonizer took heavy damage during the battle, but survived. (SOC, SOA)

Agonizer
this unusual, experimental weapon was developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. Like many of the weapons developed for the Separatists, the agonizer was designed to cause intense physical pain to a clone trooper, without causing physical trauma. The weapon emitted microsonic laser beam that caused the body to create massive amounts of prostaglandin. If not treated immediately, a victim often died from sensory overload. (MJH)

Agonizer-6
this was the brand name of Arakyd's nerve disruption system. Resembling tall, three-legged spider, the Agonizer-6 was produced for use by the Empire in controlling large crowds. The Agonizer-6 was equipped with an AI-4 droid brain, making it a fully-functional, independent crowd control device. The droid brain was stripped of any life preservation programming, and was also devoid of personality modules. These devices, originally designed to incapacitate a living being by sending out a neural impulse that disrupted the normal operation of the nervous system, were later used by the Empire as interrogation tools. The manufacture of the Agonizer-6 was later outlawed by the New Republic. (EGW)

Agr
this avian predator was native to the wroshyr forests of the planet Kashyyyk. Cold-blooded by nature, the agr was known for its ferocious attacks, which only increased in violence as the agr aged. Because of this continual increase in aggression, mature agrs fought constantly for territory, and very few individuals lived more than six to eight years. The average agr hadf a wingspan of about two meters, and hunted as part of a pack made up of dozens of individuals. (GMR4)

In this way, Unviersity officials hoped to bring higher education to the Tion Hegemony, and bring its member worlds closer to the modern standards of the rest of the galaxy. (HSL)

Agri, Pellas
this man was an agent of House Pelagia who worked as a troublemaker and spy for much of his life. His father had died in a House Mecetti prison, unjustly arrested for a crime he didn't commit. This left young Agri with a burning hatred of House Mecetti. He was attacked by a group of thugs from House Mecetti on Lamuir IV, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Working under the alias of Coros Telari, he had stolen a datafile from Mecetti, and was hoping to return it to his Pelagia masters. A team of Alliance agents, hoping to meet Trel Modetto aboard the Eternal Hope, were directed to the site of the attack by Janna Pallask. Their efforts in defeating the thugs saved Agri's life. He spent a great deal of time in a bacta, but owed a debt of gratitude to the Alliance agents. (TSIA)

AgriCorps
see Agricultural Corps (RESB)

Agricultural Administration
this was the primary organization, funded by the Old Republic, to oversee the production of food and the processing of agricultural products. The AgAdmin was supported by the Agricultural Corps of the Jedi Knights, which provided much of the manpower needed to bring agriculture to the far-flung worlds of the Republic. (WOTC)

Agricultural Corps
this vast body of Jedi trainees was part of the the Jedi Council's student development systems. Working in support of the Old Republic's Agricultural Aministration, the AgriCorps ostensibly provided a support system for newly settled planets. Those worlds which had need of agricultural improvement - primarily terraformed worlds, but also planets damaged by industrial misuse - could petition the Agricultural Corps for assistance in bringing plantlife to their environment. Underlying the goodwill of the AgriCorps was the belief that all Jedi Padawans needed a way to learn about the nature of life and the balance it brought to the galaxy. The patience needed to nurture crops to grow in harsh environments was a direct paralle to the patience a Jedi Knight needed to discover peace in an unsettled situation. Despite these basic ideals, many students of the Force feared being placed in the AgriCorps, for such placement held the assumption that they lacked the ability to become full Jedi Knights. (RF, WOTC)

Agrierd Intergalactics
this small corporation produced a number of devices for use in fighting fires. (GFT)

Aguarl III
this ocean world was the site of an Alliance base populated by the Mon Calamari and Quarren following the first Imperial attack on Calamari. A Quarren spy for the Empire provided the planet's location, and a TIE Bomber attack was launched against the planet. The Alliance's newly-installed defense system took out three of the four bombers, but Ranulf Trommer was able to recover minimal control of his ship and launch concussion missiles at the base. The base took grievous hits, and had to be evacuated. (ROC)

Aguilae
the female Jawa that managed the Jawa Traders scavenger lot in Mos Eisley. The name Aquilae was given to her by human customers who couldn't pronounce her given name, Khea Nkuul of the Weekkata tribe. She found that running a business in which she sold mechanical things was harder than she thought, given that she was a Jawa. So, she hired Mace Windu to be her salesman. Shortly after R2-D2 and C-3PO landed on Tatooine, after blasting away from the Tantive IV, Aquilae and Mace were forced to go to work for Jek Nkik and his tribe while trying to swing a deal with them to recover CZ-3. They barely escaped the destruction of Jek's sandcrawler by Imperial forces searching for the droids. When she finally caught up with CZ-3, it had been blasted to pieces by Zutton.

Ahk'laht
this Noghri served as Leia Organa-Solo's bodyguard in the years prior to the appearance of Admiral Daala and the discovery of the Maw Installation. During a series of negotiations between Leia and a representative of the Barabel people, Ahk'laht physically manhandled the Barabel minister when he refused access to Alater-ka for the New Republic fleet. The political and personal embarrassment led Leia to send Ahk'laht back to Honoghr with the message that the Noghri were no longer indebted to the family of Darth Vader. (JASB)

Ahleazah
this Mon Calamari female was captured during the Empire's initial occupation of Calamari and forced to work with the medical corps. The rest of her family was simply sold into slavery. She did her best to ease the suffering of her people, being moved from camp to camp in order to ensure she didn't develop any relationships. When she saved the life of a minor Imperial Navy officer, the grateful officer brought Ahleazah to his starship, where she was allowed to work with and learn from the advanced medical facilities on the ship. During her treatment of an Alliance pilot who was to undergo interrogation, Ahleazah decided that the time had come for her to act against the Empire which had destroyed her family.

Ahto City
this floating city was established by the Selkath on their homeworld of Manaan, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, to provide a base of operations for the many small businesses which produced kolto. The city's primary residents were to be the many off-worlders who traveled to Manaan to work for the corporations. During the Great Sith War, the Selkath allowed both the Sith Empire and the Old Republic to maintain embassies in Ahto City, striving to maintain a balanced distribution of kolto to each side of the war.

this tall humanoid was native to the moon of Bogg 4. Aia was mostly human in appearance, although white feathers covered his head and his fingers and toes were webbed. He was known on Bogg 4 as a pickpocket and thief, and many beings would have loved to tear his wings off. Aia was one of the few beings who had learned to literally fly between the moons, waiting until those moons with atmospheres grew so close that their atmospheres mingled. During these close periods, Aia could actually fly through space from moon to moon. It was in this way that Aia helped a young Boba Fett travel to Bogg 11 to recover Slave I from Honest Gjon, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. However, even as he befriended young Boba Fett, Aia stole the boy's last credits from his pockets. (BF1)

Bok had been charged with guarding the ancient Jedi library on the station shortly before the advent of Emperor Palpatine's New Order. When Palpatine ordered the extermination of the Jedi, Bok was powerless to defeat the Sith lord. He was ashamed of his failure, and remained on the station as a disembodied spirit, trapped in the book, unwilling to become one with the Force. When he helped Tash Arranda escape from the space station and Borborygmus Gog, he reconciled his shame and allowed himself to become immersed in the Force. (GOF4, GOF11)

They trained religiously, and have a 13,000-year history of success, and were allied with the Old Republic. Their basic tenets revolved around the survival of the fittest, and they believed that Emperor Palpatine was the prime example of this. They remained largely non-human in their membership, however, and were virtually disbanded by the Empire. However, the Guard's membership remained focused on their training, and in the wake of the Battle of Endor they worked diligently to eliminate any Imperial threat. (GG9, SWJ15)

Aing-Tii Monks
this strange race of creatures inhabited the furthest reaches of the Kathol Outback, near the Kathol Rift. The monks were one of the few beings who could actually navigate through the Rift, having been seen emerging from the Rift on several occasions. As a race, the Aing-Tii were tall, edentate mammals whose bodies were covered by bony plates. They had four legs, although they most often stood erect. Their heads were covered by helmet-like plates, and were dominated by two large eyes. They had no visible mouths, but used a group of long, thin tongues to sense and communicate. The tongues were used for tasting, smelling, and feeling. Much of their bony armor was covered with intricate, painted symbols that resembled the markings seen on their strangely-organic starships. Their tails, also covered with thick plates, were prehensile and often used in defense and attack. The Aing-Tii were also Force-sensitive, although they don't use it and control it the way Jedi Knights did. No one was sure exactly why, but the Aing-Tii patrolled the Kathol Outback between the Marcol Void and the Kathol Rift looking for slave ships. They incapacitated the slavers with their Sanhedrim starships, then freed the slaves. (KO)

Aing-Tii Sanhedrim
this was another name given to the Aing-Tii Monks of the Kathol Outback. (KR)

Air Avab
this was one of the many floating cities found in the atmosphere of the planet Genarius. (WOTC)

Air Brake
this piece of equipment is used on pod racers and other high-speed ground vehicles. It collects the air moving past the vehicle and uses it to slow the vehicle down. This is accomplished through friction and directional manipulation of the air flow. They can be non-jetted or jetted, depending on the how much the racer wants to spend. A jetted air brake adds to the stopping ability of the brake by routing the forced air through one or more reverse-thrust stopping jets. (RAC)

Air Cushion
this special bed is used in hospitals to help comfort burn victims. One of the few advances in medicine to come out of the Imperial armed forces, the air cushion uses a series of small repulsors to float the patients above the surface of the bed. This allows the patient to lie still without contacting their burned skin, and increases hygiene by allowing the patient to be bathed without soiling bedding. (TNR)

Air Rodeo
originally devised on Bespin, the Air Rodeo was a collection of events staged in the gas giant's Life Zone. Riders and their thrantas performed complicated maneuvers, daring tricks,and daredevil dances in the atmopshere, without the safety of a net or other protective devices. Beings from across the galaxy saw the Air Rodeo on holobids, and many more flocked to Cloud City to witness it in person. Because of the thrantas' inability to survive without the correct atmosphere, the Air Rodeo rarely traveled away from Bespin. (WOTC)

The 2.35-meter-long Air-2 had a rounded front cowling with integrated maneuvering vanes and an optional windscreen. While it was exceptionally fast, with a top speed of 600 kilometers per hour, the Air-2's control system made the swoop hard to control under hard driving conditions. Han Solo escaped from a group of slavers on Bonadan by fleeing on an Air-2 swoop. Note that Star Wars Gamer magazine, issue 7, indicates that the Air-2 swoop was produced by SoroSuub, and had a maximum speed of 700 kilometers per hour. (EGV, CCG9, AEG, NEGV, GMR7)

When the pirates and criminals of the Kathol Outback began invading Exocron airspace, it was decided that the force should be expanded to patrol the immediate space near Exocron. At this time, the Airfleet grew into the Exocron Combined Air-Space Fleet. (KO, VOF)

Airflow Car
this was the term used to describe any small vehicle which traveled through speciallized, tubular transportation systems on a cushion of air. These vehicles relied on changing air pressure inside the travel tube to maintain a specific velocity, allowing for rapid transit of beings and cargo. (MC20)

Airhook
this one-man, repulsorlift vehicle was developed as a personal transport. It was similar in design to the STAP vehicles used by the Trade Federation, and often had a flight ceiling of a hundred meters or more. They were especially dangerous because of the highly volatile fuel cells they used. (BHAS, GIRW)
