Haunted Straits
this long passageway was formed on the planet Maramere, in the most remote part of the planetary ocean. The Strait was formed by a series of tall, inward-curving stone spires, making a trip through the Strait seem like moving through the fossilized ribcage of some huge, ancient beast. The Mere who were native to the planet believed that the spirits of every being who died in the ocean were trapped in the Straits. During the years of the Trade Federation's control of Maramere, the Strait was controlled by Sol Sixxa, who viciously fought off any intruders in order to protect the location of the Invisible Island. (CRBN)

Havac
this man was a holo-documentarian who became a noted alien-rights activist during the Stark Hyperspace Conflict, and spent many years researching the abuses of the Trade Federation. The name Havac was an alias used by Eru Matalis, who was a native of the planet Eriadu. Havac worked from a base on Asmeru during the period leading up to the Battle of Naboo. A confederate of Arwen Cohl, Havac had no stomach for violence, but excelled in treachery and deceit. Havac was also a member of the militant wing of the Nebula Front, and was one of Cohl's main contacts in the organization. In fact, Havac was the man who hired Cohl to steal the aurodium ingots from the Revenue. Havac, in turn, had been secretly working with Senator Palpatine to help ensure that the Nebula Front was able to obtain resources and support. It was believed that Havac was responsible for the assassination attempt on Chancellor Valorum, a year before the Battle of Naboo. He later employed Cohl again, this time to gather a team of mercenaries and assassins in an attempt to finish off Chancellor Valorum on Eriadu. A secondary plan, which later became the main focus of the mission, was to eliminate Nute Gunray and the Directorate of the Trade Federation. He was forced to kill Cohl and his first team, after learning that the Jedi Knights were tracking his movements. Havac then took control of the mercenaries himself, but was unprepared to discover that Cohl had survived. In another brief struggle, Cohl and Havac shot each other to death. In the wake of Havac's death, the Nebula Front disintegrated. (COD)

Haven
a small planetoid located in the Minos Cluster, Haven was known during the last decades of the Old Republic as a resupply depot among the independent spacers of the Outer Rim. Haven later served as the site of the Alliance's primary resistance center in the Cluster during the Galactic Civil War. Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa fled to this planet after losing Han Solo at Cloud City, meeting a segment of the Alliance fleet and regrouping. Luke received his prosthetic hand while in orbit around Haven, and it was here that the initial plan to rescue Solo was put into action. (GG6, SOL, SOJ)

Haven Base
this was the codename used to describe the Alliance's base on the planet Arbra, which served as the Alliance's main base of operations in the months following the Battle of Hoth. Haven Base was constructed in an underground grotto, where crystalline structures channeled heat and electricity from the planet's core, providing the Alliance forces with ready sources of power without additional equipment. It was later discovered that an entire city, albeit abandoned, was located beneath the base's location, with architecture dating back to the pre-Republic days of Xim the Despot. It was in this ancient city, built by the original Arbran race, that the Darker lived. (PH)

Haverel, Larr
this man served the Imperial Army as a General, and was in command of the ground forces dispatched to Captain Dagon Niriz and the Admonitor during its journeys through the Unknown Regions. Haverel resented being considered part of then-Admiral Thrawn's machinations, chafed at Thrawn's manipulation of his personnel, and planned to force Thrawn to relinquish command to Captain Niriz after their encounter with Creysis and the Ebruchi pirates. His attempt to mutiny was cut short when Creysis' pirates changed their tactics, and the Admonitor was thrust intp battle. Thrawn, however, didn't forget Haverel's actions, and had him returned for Coruscant for court-martial. (SWJ11)

Havero, Jain
this well-muscled, blond-haired man was known as one of the best combat fighters on the planet Shiva IV during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He pledged his support to Aron Peacebringer, working to cement a bond between the human and T'Syirel populations of the planet. His prowess with all manner of weapons often went to his head, and he sometimes got careless in his fighting. Luckily for Havero, one of his comrades always kept an eye on him, and covered him when he got into trouble. During a mission to investigate the fate of the city of K'avor, Jain and Aron discovered Leia Organa, who had crashlanded on the planet. Leia was in the sector to investigate the build-up of Imperial forces in the area, and her shuttle had been hit by a micromine. (MC53)

Havoc
an Imperial Strike-class cruiser which intercepted the Alliance frigate Battle of Yavin in the Hensara System. The crew of the frigate were forced to land it on the planet Hensara III, and had to sink it in a deep lake. They lacked the equipment to recover the frigate, and so Rogue Squadron was called in to escort a rescue team to Hensara III. (XWN)

Havoc
this twenty-two-meter-long starship was owned and operated by the Feeorin pirate Nym. It was the first prototype of the Scurrg H-6, a highly experimental and dangerous ship which had been constructed as a prototype bomber by this shipwrights of the Nubian Design Collective. The Nubians decided to scrap the project, much to the dismay of lead engineer Jinkins. It was Jinkins who arranged the theft of the Scurrg H-6 with Nym, and who quit his job on Nubia to join Nym's crew. Jinkins continued to work on the ship, upgrading and enhancing many of its systems. The Havoc was armed with a pair of triple laser cannons on each wing, a turret-mounted double laser cannon on its dorsal side, and a plasma scourge. The original proton bomb launcher was replaced with a "bomblet generator", which produced a continuous supply of extremely destructive energy bombs. An additional missile launcher was also installed to fire proximity mines at enemy ships. The Havoc was also well-shielded. Another of the major modifications Jinkins made was on the ship's command systems. The Scurrg H-6 was originally designed for a crew of five. Jinkins modified the controls and added two dedicated astromech droids to allow Nym to fly the ship by himself if necessary. When flown in atmosphere, the Havoc could attain speeds of 1,000 kilometers per hour, and was equipped with a Class 1.5 hyperdrive for interstellar travel. (OWS, SFT, STF, GMR2, NEGV)

Havoc
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was under the command of Captain Tulimus, during the siege of Edan II. It was later destroyed when the Alliance, led by the bold plans of Colonel Pertarn, launched a frontal assault on the ship. With the augmented weaponry of the light freighter Vindicator, the Alliance and the Edan rebels managed to destroy the Havoc and liberate the planet. (IAG)

Havocs

Havod
this deep red alloy was made up of chanlon and hfredium, and was used in the formation of custom starship hulls. It was too difficult to mass-produce, and was rarely used unless specifically ordered by the buyer. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Imperial Admiral Kendel had 100 Star Destroyers specially-commissioned with havod plating. (LOE, SWJ10)

Havok
this was one of the Nebulon-B frigates which were used by the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XW)

Havor
this gunrunner worked with Merglyn, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Both were killed when they tried to run weapons to the planet Kiffex, being shot down by the Guardians of Kiffu. Hidden within their cargo holds was the Jedi Knight Aayla Secura, who was trying to reach Volfe Karkko. (OWS, DRKN)

HAVr A9
designation of Ubrikkian's Floating Fortress, this repulsorlift craft was designed to extinguish urban uprisings without the need to call in AT-AT walkers. These floating cylinders have fully-independent, full-sweep heavy blaster cannons mounted on a topside turrent. The two guns sweep across the field of fire, eventually locking onto the target. The fortress is also equipped with a sophisticated sensor package modeled after assassin droids. The package creates a 30-meter bubble around the vehicle which is extremely effective at locating targets. This has made the HAVr A9 all the more effective, as the sight of a huge repulsor tank homing in on a single target and swiftly eliminating it is awesome to behold. (ISB)

Havricus
this planet, located along the Mid Rim, was beset by stone mites during the year leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN5)

Havridam City
this was one of the largest cities found on the planet New Bakstre. Shortly before the Clone Wars, the Mechanical Liberation Front destroyed a large portion of the city, in an effort to "free" a shipment of XM-15 Vindicator missiles. The clumsy activists set off the missile's explosives, killing fourteen members of their party and destroying almost 2,000 square kilometers of the city. (HNN5)

Havriso Looruya
this being represented his homeworld of Yir Tangee in the Old Republic Senate, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The Senator later served on Chancellor Palpatine's Loyalist Committee, until he was discovered to have been secretly funding the Separatist movement. After Senator Onaconda Farr made sweeping allegations of conspiracy in the Senate, the Senate Bureau of Investigations found that Senator Looruya had funded the secession of several key planets, including Ando and Sluis Van. Senator Looruya was censured for his actions, and removed from the ranks of the Loyalist Committee. (HNN4, HNN5)

HAVw A5
Kuat Drive Yards' heavy ground assault vehicle (GAV), the HAVw A5 was nicknamed the Juggernaut, or the Rolling Slab. The Juggernaut was originally produced during the last years of the Old Republic along with the HAVw A6, although it primarily marketed to planetary defense forces. After the Clone Wars, the Juggernaut became one of the Empire's oldest, and most durable, GAVs. The HAVw A5 based on the design of the AT-TE used by the Army of the Republic, but it moved on five sets of wheels and did not have a repulsorlift. At twenty-two meters in length and standing fifteen meters tall, the vehicle resembled the AT-TE's top section, and much of the A5's armor plating was identical to that used on the AT-TE. Juggernauts were well-armed, with 3 heavy laser cannons, a single medium blaster cannon, and two concussion grenade launchers. The HAVw A5 required a crew of 8, one of which must man the observation tower which protrudes above the main body. This crewer relayed information about upcoming terrain to the cockpit; without him, the Juggernaut could become mired in treacherous terrain. The Juggernaut also ha room to carry up to 50 troops and 1,000 kilograms of cargo. As the Imperial war machine began to rely more and more on the AT-AT walker, many Juggernauts were surplused, and ended up in the hands of crimelords and planetary warlords. (ISB, AEG, NEGV, TCG10, SWDB)

HAVw A6 Juggernaut
this immense, ten-wheeled tank was developed by Kuat Drive Yards for the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Similar to the HAVw A5, which was utilized during the era of the Empire, the HAVw A6 had wheels that were made up of three independently-spinning segments, and was attached to the vehicle by a fully-independent suspension. This set-up allowed the HAVw A6 Juggernaut to move over even the most inhospitable terraion with relative ease. Although the forward section contained the main cockpit and operations center for the Juggernaut, the smaller cockpit at the read of the vehicle was also capable of controlling its movement, allowing the vehicle to move forward or backward with a simple transfer of command. Measuring 49.4 meters in length and 30.4 meters in height - including the telecsoping observation post, the HAVw A6 was a formidable site to see on the battlefield. A dedicated crew of twelve clone troopers was required to operate the vehicle, and extra personnel were needed to man the weapons stations. Weaponry aboard the Juggernaut included a turret-mounted heavy laser cannon, a repeating laser cannon, two antipersonnel laser cannons, a pair of twin blaster cannons, and two projectile launching systems. A dedicated 2-1B medical droid was also stationed within the armor hull of the HAVw A6, to administer to injured troopers during battle. Although most of the interior was dedicated to the massive reactor that supplied the Juggernaut with power, up to 300 troopers could be crammed inside, depending on other cargo. Despite its size, the Juggernaut could attain speeds of up to 160 kilometers per hour over smooth terrain. (TCG10, ISB, X3, SWDB)

Hawk-bat
this species of kite-like avian creatures was native to the planet Coruscant, and was believed to be the only species of creature originally native to the planet to survive into the modern era. They had metallic talons and hunted in flocks. Their eggs were considered a delicacy by the aristocracy of the Old Republic. Their flesh was also discovered to be edible by the Ortolan chef, Handree Braman, who recommended that it be cooked at 1,000 degrees for no more than twenty minutes. The average hawk-bat had extremely well-developed eyes, capable of seeing into a wide range of spectra beyond normal light. Young hawk-bats were hatched from eggs, had green skin, and were fully independent from birth. Upon reaching maturity, the hawk-bat would shed its green skin and emerge as an adult, with purplish-grey skin. Hawk-bats tended to live in large flocks, with each flock staking out a territory in the urban jungle of Coruscant. These avians had excellent nightvision, and their tenacious existence became a sort of symbol for the common being's plight in the galaxy. (JS, DA, DMSH, EGA, WSW)

Several of the Wraiths donned makeup and became Hawk-bats, in order to hide their identitied from anyone they met with. The Hawk-bats concentrated their early efforts on the planet Halmad, which was just outside Zsinj's area of control. Their base was situated in an abandoned mine, designated A3 by Tonheld Mining Corporation, within a large asteroid in the Halmad system. After stealing several TIE Interceptors from the garrison in Hullis, and pirating the cargoes of a number of Halmad-based shippers, Zsinj finally stepped in and took protective control of Halmad. He then offered the Hawk-bats a chance to join him, rather than fight against him. They agreed to participate in Zsinj's raid on Kuat, where the New Republic's forces - led by Han Solo and the Mon Remonda - nearly caught the rogue Warlord. (IF, SOC)

HB-4
this projectile-firing hunting rifle was produced by Prax Arms during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It was unique in that it allowed a trained marksman to virtually ensure a one-shot attack. Trailing behind the projectile was a monofilament cord which fed flight adjustment to the projectile's barbed head.

HD 5-D
this experimental hyperdrive booster first hit the market after the Battle of Yavin. It functioned by shunting more power through a starship's engines that what would normally be allowed, making its hyperdrive more powerful and reducing transit times. However, this practice of overloading the engine systems was as dangerous as it was alluring, and the HD 5-D has a tendency to burn out after several uses, causing great damage to the main drive systems. (GFT)

The Enzeen would lure unsuspecting tourists to the underground location, then lower them into the pit in order for the planet to devour them. Later, when D'vouran became self-sufficient, the Heart was no longer needed, as the planet could consume a being located anywhere on the planet by simply opening up a hole na drawing them in. The Enzeen themselves avoided being eaten by wearing a small pendant which contained a force field generator that shielded their life-force from the planet. (GOF1)

Heart of Flesh
this Qektoth Attack Cruiser was dispatched to Yvara to collect specimens of Yvarema. The Qektoth Confederacy hoped to bio-engineer a human hive-mind, and planned to experiment on the Yvarema mammalian hive. The Heart of Flesh was developed in a secret facility in the Kathol Rift, during the time that the Scourge was first used in combat by the Confederacy. The Heart of Flesh was intercepted by the New Republic corvette FarStar. (KR)

Heart of Graush
this immense jewel was imbued with the Dark Side of the Force by Dathka Graush more than 7,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Graush removed his own heart and replaced it with the jewel, hoping to keep himself alive forever. It was believed that the jewel contained over a thousand Sith spirits, but it didn't prevent Graush's inevitable death. The Heart of Graush was buried with him in his tomb on Korriban, where it waited for another being to touch it. The Heart would then take possession of their spirit, giving Graush momentary life. As long as the Heart remained in contact with the being, Graush could regenerate. The Heart was found by Naz Felyood, captain of the Jynni's Virtue, during the height of the New Order. The ship had crash-landed on Korriban after escaping an Imperial boarding party, and Felyood set out to scout their location. He stumbled into Graush's tomb and tried to take the Heart, inviting the possession of the Sith spirit and unleashing the Korriban Zombies. However, the Heart was lost when Babbnod Luroon destroyed the Jynni's Virtue, and Captain Felyood was doomed to wander Korriban forever as an undead being, searching in vain for the Heart of Graush. The logs of the Jynni's Virtue were later found by Jedi historians during the early years of the New Republic, locked inside Dathka Graush's tomb, which apparently had been unopened for 7,000 years. Recordings indicated that the Heart was taken by one of the Korriban Zombies, but may have been destroyed in the explosion of the Jynni's Virtue. (PH)
