Pelgrin
this ancient race inhabited the planet Pelgrin, but died out millions of years before the planet was first discovered by the scouts of the Old Republic. From the archaeological record, Old Republci investigators learned that the Pelgrin were not a highly advanced race, but had the uncanny ability to duplicate advanced technology with limited means. In addition to steam engines and mechanical communication devices, the Pelgrin also created the clockwork computer known as the Oracle at Pelgrin. (PJSB)

Peli
this was a common name among Cerean females. Unlike their male counterparts, Cerean females use a single name unless they became a bond-wife. In this case, a female will take on their husband's grandfather's name for official matters. The name Peli indicated water, waves, or a flowing river. (GCG)

Pella Compact
this was the original council which governed the colony ships which settled the planet Pelagon, in Tapani Sector, more than 13,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The Compact was the primary governing force of the original Tapani colonies for nearly 1,000 years, and initiated the first alliances with the Herglics. The Compact was dissovled when the Tapani Sector was fragmented during the Twelve Kingdoms Era. (PGT)

Pella System

Pellaeon, Gilad
the elderly Imperial Navy Captain in command of the Chimaera, Pellaeon took the remnants of the Imperial fleet and retreated from the Battle of Endor. Born on Corellia years before Anakin Skywalker, Pellaeon lied his way into the Judicial Forces when he was just fifteen. While serving aboard various starships with the Old Republic, he learned about the ebb and flow of politcal tides, and saw that the military was something of a constant. He developed a military sense that kept him in the background, making sure his troops were well-fed and respected, rather than bullying them into submission. After the death of Emperor Palpatine at Endor, Pellaeon had no desire to lead the Empire, but he felt it was his duty to keep the Imperial fleet together. Thus, when Grand Admiral Thrawn emerged from the Unknown Regions to take control of the Empire, Pellaeon was more than willing to turn the fleet over to Thrawn, despite Thrawn's obviously alien background. He served Thrawn well, respecting the alien's uncanny insights while providing tactical assistance when necessary. Following the death of Thrawn at the hands of his own bodyguard, Rukh, Pellaeon took Thrawn's remaining ships and fled to the Core Systems, where he came in contact with High Admiral Teradoc. The two marshalled a large fleet of Victory-class Star Destroyers, and rivaled Harrsk for leadership of the Imperial forces for a number of years. When Daala showed up and tried to combine the strengths of the feuding warlords, Pellaeon sided with Daala, who only wanted to restore the Empire. The two of them arranged a summit of all the warlords on Tsoss Station, but were forced to poison them all when they failed to cooperate. Pellaeon became Daala's first officer, and was placed in command of the remaining seventeen Imperial-class Star Destroyers. He was to be the primary attack for that assaulted the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. His attack was perfect, slipping into the system before the Jedi knew it. However, his Imperial conditioning failed to prepare him for the power of the Force. The Jedi, under the focus of Dorsk 81, used the Force to physically fling the entire Star Destroyer fleet out of the Yavin System, knocking out navigations and hyperdrives. Pelleaon was able to recover all his ships, as well as Admiral Daala's escape pod, before leaving to the system. After Daala's rescue, she resigned her command, and turned control of the Imperial fleet over to him. While he stll had no desire to rule the Empire, Pellaeon felt that the situation was the Battle of Endor all over again. He took the fleet back to the Core Systems to regroup. Pellaeon assumed the position of Supreme Commander of the Imperial Navy, and worked against all odds to rebuild the fleet. He spent several years trying to overcome the problems with the cloaking device, and eventually tested the Computer Combat Predictor. However, its inability to truly aid in a cloaked fight was the last straw in the back of the dwindling Imperial animal. He suggested to Moff Disra that the Imperial remnants should negotiate a surrender with the New Republic some ten years after Thrawn's death, hoping to obtain amnesty rather than execution. Although the majority of the Moffs were in agreement with the plan, Disra's own machinations kept him from wholeheartedly agreeing. Pellaeon began his attempts to contact the Republic by sending Colonel Vermel to meet with Garm Bel Iblis, but Disra captured Vermel before his message was fully delivered. Pellaeon, meanwhile, waited for Bel Iblis as Pesitiin, where Disra sent Zothip and the Cavrilhu Pirates to ambush him. Pellaeon's forces dispatched the pirates, but continued to wait for Bel Iblis. However, Bel Iblis was on a mission to Yaga Minor, so it was Ghent who actually received the truncated message from Vermel. He brought the message to Leia Organa-Solo, who agreed to meet with Pellaeon. Their initial talks were tentative but promising, and both agreed to return to their sides and meet at a later date. Meantime, Pellaeon and Commander Dreyf discovered Disra's plans, and began to press the matter with the Moff. Pellaeon eventually won out over the renegade Moff Disra, and soon signed a peace treaty - later known as the Pellaeon-Gavrisom Treaty - with the New Republic. He assumed command of what became known as the Imperial Remnant, and maintained a distanced relationship with the Republic until the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Then, Pellaeon agreed to help the war effort during the Battle of Ithor, only to be recalled to Imperial space by the short-sightedness of the Moff Council. Pellaeon feared that the Moffs' decision to stay out of the fight - so long as the Yuuzhan Vong avoided the Empire - was the wrong thing to do, but his half-century of experience made him hold his tongue for several years. He worked hard to bolster the forces protecting Bastion, but the Imperials were no match for the surprise attack launched by the Yuuzhan Vong shortly after the Second Battle of Coruscant. Bastion and Muunilinst were lost almost immediately, and the destruction would have been worse if Luke Skywalker hadn't arrived on the scene. Pellaeon gladly accepted the help of the Jedi, who were searching for the planet Zonama Sekot, and was able to hold off the alien invaders long enough to evacuate the central Imperial systems. However, the Chimaera took heavy damage, and Pellaeon himself was nearly killed. Only the skilled work of the Jedi healer Tekli kept him alive. Once the Imperial Remnant regrouped at Yaga Minor, Pellaeon started his own recovery, and began training his forces with tactics developed by the newly-formed Galactic Alliance. Despite the fact that he was confined to a bacta tank, Pellaeon was also instrumental in helping Jacen Solo convince the Moff Council that it needed to adopt the Galactic Alliance's tactics in order to ensure the very survival of the Empire. When he was able to emerge from the bacta tank, Pellaeon once again took command of the Imperial Navy, and threatened to secede from the Empire if the Moffs didn't accept Jacen's offer to join the Galactic Alliance. Once the Moffs agreed, Pellaeon took the Imperial fleet and began to harass the retreating Yuuzhan Vong forces, hoping to defend the Imperial Remnant by joining the war effort to defeat the alien invaders throughout the galaxy. As the battle neared its conclusion, Pellaeon was appointed the commander of the Galactic Alliance's Fourth Fleet, and was instrumental in the final battle against the Yuuzhan Vong near Coruscant. In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong surrender, Pellaeon prepared to return to the Imperial Remnant as its primary liaison to the Galactic Republic. Before he left, however, he found time to return the moss painting Killik Twilight to Leia Organa Solo. In the wake of the death of Admiral Sien Sovv, Pellaeon agreed to serve as the Supreme Commander of the Galactic Alliance's military, until a more permanent replacement could be named.

(DARK, KO, VOF)

Pembric Security Legion
this formerly honest police force was slowly corrupted by a variety of forces. By the era of the New Order, the Legionnaires of the force were nothing more than thugs in fancy uniforms.

Pendower, Maglenna
a native of Alderaan, this dark-skinned woman was once one of Leia Organa's lesser aides during the Galactic Civil War. She spent much of her time covering for Leia's activities with the Alliance, creating cover stories to feed to the Imperial Senate and the newsnets. With the destruction of Alderaan, Maglenna lost her father and two brothers. She held out a small hope that her younger brother was off-planet when the Death Star wiped it out, but she found it difficult to locate him. After enrolling in the Alliance's medical training program, she graduated near the top of her class, but was chastised by Leia, who thought Maglenna's skills as an undercover agent were more valuable than her field skills. Maglenna, however, wanted to be where the action was. Leia managed to get Maglenna a "safe" posting within the Alliance's Supply and Ordnance division, and Maglenna served under Colonel Stijhl at the Gelgelar Free Port drop point during the Galactic Civil War. She maintained her skills as a field medic, and proved her abilities in helping Ihvin Jayme revive Morgan Raventhorn after Morgan was electrocuted aboard The Maker. She later helped Jayme defeat the Doom Slayer droid which was discovered aboard The Maker. After T'Charek Haathi's team survived the attack of a Doom Slayer droid on Gelgelar, Maglenna agreed to join Haathi's team while Dren Nord left the team to work with Colonel Stijhl's team. Maglenna just hoped that Leia wouldn't discover her new role before Maglenna could become a full-fledged Special Operations agent. (SESB, SWJ14)

Penetrator
this small, easily concealed blaster was produced by Luxan Personal Armaments, and was known for the high-powered bolts it could generate despite its size.

this Dobrutz starliner served as a Obroan Institute research vessel. It was dispatched under the command of Joto Eckels, who was in the midst of an exploration of the planet Hoth, when it was suddenly dispatched to Brath Qella. Kroddok Stopa had requested assistance from Eckels, since the Penga Rift was outfitted with many cold-environment exploration tools, where the IX-26 was not. However, Eckels and the Penga Rift were not able to arrive at Brath Qella before Stopa and his assistant, Josala Krenn, were killed in an avalanche on the planet. The Penga Rift was under the command of Captain Dolk Barjas, and measured 126 meters in length. The ship continued to serve the Institute until the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. During the Vong assault which left Obroa-skai a devastated orb, the Penga Rift was holed and left for dead. (SOL, TT, HT)

Pengalan IV
this planet was the site of a battle, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Old Republic believed that the Confederacy of Independent Systems - also known as the Separatists - had created a munitions factory on the planet, and was producing diamond boron missiles at the site. Fearing that the advanced missiles would turn the tide of war to Count Dooku and the Separatists, a full platoon of clone troopers was sent out on the Sea Legacy to destroy the facility. However, the reports of the facility had been leaked by the Separatists in an effort to trap the Republic's forces, after the missile facility had been safely relocated. The plan nearly succeeded, but Republic forces were able to eliminate the missile factory before retreating. (SWI65, SWI73)

Penin, Rosh
this hot-headed young man was once a student at Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, who was trained by Kyle Katarn until he was captured by Tavion. Rosh and fellow student Jaden Korr had been searching for clues about the Disciplies of Ragnos, and Rosh had been dispatched to Byss to investigate rumors coming from the planet. Tavion was able to intercept Rosh on Byss and corrupt him. Rosh was quickly seduced by the Dark Side of the Force and joined the Disciples of Ragnos. When he learned that his old friend Jaden was searching for him, Penin arranged to meet the Jedi Knight on Vjun. Accompanied by Dasariah and Vil Kothos, Penin confronted Korr on the remote world, but was unprepared for his abilities. Korr easily defeated the Kothos brothers, then took on Penin in a duel. Although Penin fought bravely, he was ultimately defeated by Korr. Tavion then entered the room, and used the Scepter of Ragnos to distract the Jedi and escape with Rosh. Shortly afterward, Penin sent a distress call to Kyle and Jaden from the planet Taspir III. Although Jaden thought it was a trap, Kyle quickly took them to Taspir III. There, Rosh appeared to have been coerced into following Tavion. It was Tavion's apprentice, Alora, who confronted Jaden with a choice: turn to the Dark Side by killing Penin for being a liar, or stand down and remain loyal to the Light Side. When Jaden chose to let Penin live, Alora became enraged enough to kill Penin before attacking Jaden. As Jaden fought and defeated Alora, Penin slumped into his Master's arms, but held on long enough to be transported back to Yavin 4 for treatment. Rosh eventually survived the attack, and returned to the Light Side of the Force. (JKA)

Pensin
this man was one of Drend Navett's associates in the Vengeance group. Pensin was present on Bothawui during the riot in Merchant's Square, shortly after the revelation of the Caamas Document. He assisted Navett in starting the riot, and careful shooting made it appear that Han Solo was the shooter. He later worked with Horvik to deflect attention from Navett's efforts to take out the Drev'starn shield generator. Horvic and Pensin posed as the night clean-up crew at a Ho-Din cafe near the generator site. He later assisted them in digging out a tunnel to gain access to the power generators of the shields. Once Navett was in place and ready to take out the shield generator, Pensin accompanied Klif and Horvic on a sabotage mission. Disguised as New Republic technicians, they managed to get aboard the Predominance and make their way to a turbolaser battery. They killed their escort and managed to get eight shots off at the city of Drev'starn before begin discovered and neutralized. (SOP, VOF)

Pent, Zegmon
this man, a native of the planet Corellia, was the leader of the terrorist group known as The Flail, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. He had been formerly trained in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to be a secret assassin, although it was unclear whether he was sensitive to the Force. Nonetheless, Pent spent a good deal of time cultivating his "Jedi assassin" image, and even stole an imitation lightsaber from an independent technician to use as his weapon. Pent believed that the Senate was a corrupt body which was funded by corporate sponsors to ignore the common good, that Chancellor Finis Valorum was the root of the problem, and set out to rectify the situation. When a team of freelance security officers stopped the activities of The Flail, Pent declared that he would personally kill Chancellor Valorum in order to put a halt to the Senate's actions. He tried to escape by outflying the security team in an airspeeder, hoping to reach the Senate Chamber and kill Valorum himself, or die trying. In a desparate struggle, Pent drew his lightsaber and tried to murder Valorum, but was stopped by the actions of the security officers and Vinsho Pah. Pent was taken into custody and imprisoned. (SWRPG)

Pentastar Alignment
this galactic conglomerate was created from the various leaders of the Velcar Free Commerce Zone and led by Imperial Moff Ardus Kaine. The Alignment controlled a section of the galaxy named for it, and controlled all access to and from the planets, in conjunction with the Velcar Free Commerce Zone commissioners. The basis for the Pentastar Alignment was the former Imperial government of Emperor Palpatine, although it was warped to conform to Kaine's own vision of the Empire. Built from the outcome of the Pentastar Talks, the Alignment had two major factions, the Chamber of Order and Enforcement. The Order faction controlled the Politorate, Insurrection, Judgement, and Protectorate divisions. Enforcement controled the regulation and enforcement of laws and public allegiance, and was in command of the Alignment's police force, the Pentastar Patrol. While essentially effective, the Pentastar Alignment remained Moff Kaine's personal agenda, and failed to stand up to the pressure of maintaining galactic control. Kaine eventually allied the Pentastar Alignment with Admiral Pellaeon and the Imperial Remnant. (SWJ3, ECH)

Pentastar Alignment Treaty
this was the document which was ratified at the conclusion of the Pentastar Talks, solidifying Moff Ardus Kaine's vision of the Pentastar Alignment as the new Imperial government of the Velcar Free Commerce Zone. (SWJ3)

Pentastar Patrol
this was the primary military force established as part of the Pentastar Alignment's Enforcement branch, and represented the most visible reminder of the Alignment's power. The Pentastar Patrol also consumed the majority of the Alignment's resources and personnel, having taken over the garrisons and outposts of the former Empire. Unlike the Imperial military, the Pentastar Patrol allowed non-humans to serve in its ranks, a move which was meant to make the Alignment seem more "friendly" to other species. This practice did not sit well with various members of the Alignment's command structure, as many of them were former Imperial officers. (SWJ3)

Pentastar Patrol Academy
this was the primary educational facility established by the Pentastar Alignment to train those beings who joined the Pentastar Patrol. (SWJ3)

Pentastar Talks
this was the series of meetings established by Moff Ardus Kaine, in which he laid out his plans for re-establishing Imperial control under the guise of the Pentastar Alignment. Working with various Imperial supporters and business leaders from the Velcar Free Commerce Zone, Moff Kaine hammered out the Pentastar Alignment Treaty, and installed himself as the head of the Alingment. (SWJ3)

Pentastar Trust and Safety Assurance Bank
this was the primary financial institution established by the Pentastar Alignment, in the wake of the Battle of Endor. (SWJ3)

Penumbra
this modified shieldship was owned and operated by Neen Niuv. It served as the criminal's base of operations during the early years of the New Republic, hidden within Hutt Space. The main cargo sections of the ship were modified for use as hangars, and Neen Niuv maintained a wing of eight I-7 Howlrunners as defensive fighters. Niuv also equipped the Penumbra with a limited hyperdrive system, giving him the ability to take the ship away from direct confrontation. (WOTC)

Penumbra Omen
located in space near the Naboo System, this region was originally designated by Imperial forces as D-512. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the name was changed to the Penumbra Omen, and all non-military traffic was restricted from entering the region. (SWGAL)

Penzak Kraal
this Yuuzhan Vong pilot and his clanmate, Charat Kraal, were on patrol over Borleias during the alien's invasion of the planet Coruscant. Unfortunately, Penzal Kraal was killed when Wedge Antilles and his small fleet arrived on Borleias and retook the planet as their base of operations. (EL1)

People's Inquest, The
this grass-roots organization was founded on Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The People's Inquest was formed as a watchdog group to monitor the activities of the Jedi Knights, who were becoming increasingly insular and withdrawn from the public eye. They were eventually shut down by the Old Republic for a variety of reasons, including "inadequate licensing" and "signal purity violations". Supporters of the Inquest were arrested during protests outside the Senate Rotunda on the grounds of maintaining security, and many believed that the organization was doomed. However, founder Thrynka Padaunete managed to persevere, and eventually re-established a public infocache based on a remote Outer Rim world during the height of the Clone Wars. (HNN4, SWI71)

People's Liberation Battalion
this civilian military operation was created by Harran Estillo, who passed himself off as the returned Prince Harrandatha. The goal of the Battalion was to overthrow the yolk of Imperial control on Eiattu, as well as to unseat the Priamsta. (XWWP)

Pepeh Blangko
this bounty hunter was active during the years following the Battle of Naboo. He was implicated in the distribution of illegal holograms with Gabo the Wicked, but never arrested. Despite his record, Pepeh openly placed a bounty on the head of Boozoo "Bogey" Boga and his band of Galactic Radicals, after several of his own hunts were hijacked by Boga. (BH)

Pepin
this man served as a navigation officer aboard one of the Lambda-class shuttles that made up Emperor Palpatine's personal fleet of starships, during the early years of the New Order. (SWI85)

Pepper's Pax
this rought-and-tumble tavern was located on the planet Darlyn Boda during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Situated between a mortuary and a pawn shop, Pepper's Pax was considered the safest gathering place for criminals of all sorts. It was said that there were only two rules at Pepper's Pax: no fighting, and no sissies. To enforce this second rule, newcomers had to eat a mouthful of firespice vegetable pods. Pepper's Pax also served as a base of operations for some of the most reliable and accurate haruspexes on the planet. (WOA34)

Pera
this Verpine priest was considered the leader of the Sacred Way religion on the planet Aduba-3, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. He worked to ensure a good relationship with the various legitimate and illicit businesses operating on Aduba-3, but was not afraid to fight for his own rights. He belived that, for every sin, there was an equal and positive retribution. His seemingly endless mission was to convert the rabble that called Aduba-3 their home to the Sacred Way. The regulars were loyal to him because of his maintenance of the Spacer's Hill cemetary. (GMR4)

Pera
this term, from the High Galactic language, was used throughout the galaxy to indicate a male parent. (MC7)

Per'Agthra
this was the name used to describe the Queen Mother's castle, located on the planet Hapes. (CTD)

Peragus II
this unusual planet was located in a remote corner of the galaxy. Several years before the Great Sith War, it was first settled by the workers of the Peragus Mining Colony, who extracted all manner of gases and ores from the planet's crust and mantle. However, an explosion at the main facility caused incredible amounts of damage, and literally tore a hole in the planet's crust. This hole widened as the molten lava surrounding the core of Peragus II gushed into space. The lava eventually froze in the vacuum of space, creating a chain of asteroids that settled into a geosynchronous orbit around the planet. For many years, Peragus II bled lava into space, presenting a unique phenomenon to scientists. The miners of the Peragus Mining Colony eventually took up residence in the asteroids, since much of the material they were mining was now floating in space. Five years after the destruction of the Star Forge and the death of Darth Malak, the Peragus Mining Colony was attacked by unknown forces. The miners were either killed outright, or died when they were treated with kolto that was heavily laced with sedatives. Investigation by The Exile and HK-50 revealed that Darth Sion, who had been brought to the asteroid and reawakened by a group of Sith devotees, was behind the killings. After The Exile and Kreia fled the colony, Darth Sion set out to find them. In his wake, he destroyed the main Peragus II asteroid and the mining colony facility. (KOTOR2, LAWS)

Peragus Mining Colony
this gas mining operation was established on the planet Peragus II many years before the Great Sith War. The independent miners of the colony supplied materiel to the Old Republic during the Sith War, until an explosion at the facility tore a huge hole in the planet's crust. Motlen lava spewed out of the hole and into space, where it froze in the vacuum and created a large chain of asteroids. Once the Peragus Mining Colony recovered from the disaster, they moved their operations to the orbiting asteroids. Five years after the destruction of the Star Forge and the death of Darth Malak, the Peragus Mining Colony was attacked by unknown forces. The miners were either killed outright, or died when they were treated with kolto that was heavily laced with sedatives. Investigation by the Jedi known as The Exile and HK-50 revealed that Darth Sion and his Sith devotees was behind the killings, which started after Darth Sion was reawakened. After The Exile and Kreia fled the system in the Ebon Hawk, Sion and his forces also fled the system. In their wake, they destroyed the Peragus Mining Colony and most of the asteroid on which it was located. (KOTOR2, LAWS)

Peralli
this Mon Calamari worked as a pirate for the Feeorin Nym, during the height of the New Order. When Finn Darktrin recovered a map for Nym in exchange for passage to Corellia, Peralli was assigned to be their pilot, since Nym didn't trust Finn's abilities. However, upon reaching Corellia, their ship was apprehended by Imperial forces. In the brief firefight, Peralli's ship took damage while trying to reach the surface. He and Finn tried to keep the ship under control while Dusque Mistflier strapped herself into the passenger area. An explosion rocked the cockpit, seeming to come from inside the ship, and Finn was forced to land the ship himself. Peralli, he told Finn, had caught the explosion in the chest and died from his wounds. Later, after Finn revealed that he was actually an Imperial agent, he told Dusque that it had been he who killed Peralli, to ensure that the Imperials thought their ship had been destroyed. (ROD)

Peramis, Tig
this New Republic Senator from Walalla questioned the validity of Operation Hammerblow and the use of the Fifth Battle Group. He grew up during the early days of Imperial occupation of Walalla, and witnessed first-hand the atrocities committed by Imperial troops and leaders. This hardened his resolve to eradicate the Empire, and when the time came he became a governmental leader. His appointment to the New Republic Senate came a few months before Nil Spaar arrived on Coruscant. His experiences at the hands of the Empire led him to an alliance with the Yevethan against what Nil Spaar called "Leia Organa-Solo's personal ambitions." He was banished from the Senatorial chambers for his dealing with Spaar. Unlike other Senators who supported Spaar, Peramis remained on Coruscant to monitor the Republic's reactions to the Yevethan power plays. Using his contacts within the Senate to gather information. To this end, he got Senator Cundertol drunk and stole his Senatorial security cards. Using them, Peramis was able to enter the Senate building and access Cundertol's files.

Perat
derived from the title perator, this was an Adumari coin which was minted with the image of a nation's perator on the obverse. Each nation had its own mintage of perats, but all were considered of more or less equal value. (SOA)

Perator
this was the title used by the Adumari to describe the leader of an individual nation or city. Each perator had to prove himself in combat, both on the ground and in space, before he could be considered for election to the post. By his mere presence in a room or at a gathering, the perator demanded full attention. However, he could lower the visor on his crown to indicate a distancing of himself from the crowd, thereby freeing those assembled from the need for attention. In this way, the perator could enjoy the gathering without affecting the behavior of the others. (SOA)

Perave System Starport

Percifel
this was a common name among the Chev race. (UANT)

Pereg, Hunti
this bounty hunter was part of a group of hunters hired by Granta Omega to capture Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Wren Honoran on Ragoon-6, some five years after the Battle of Naboo. He was known to have never missed a target, ever, in his career. During the attempt to capture the Jedi, Hunti was incapacitated and then impersonateed by Granta Omega himself, in an effort to lure the Jedi into a trap. (JQ2)

this modified Strike-class cruiser was part of the Alliance's fleet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Peregrine
this was the name given to one of Garm Bel Iblis' Dreadnaughts, during the years before he rejoined the New Republic. It was one of several ships from the Katana Fleet that Bel Iblis managed to obtain over the years. It eventually became part of the New Republic's fleet. The ship remained as Bel Iblis' flagship, and was placed under the command of Admiral Vriss. (DFR, SOP)

Peregrine 240
this was a model of swoop produced by Aratech during the last years of the Old Republic. These swoops measured 3.25 meters in length, and could accommodate a pilot and a single passenger. The Peregrine 240 could attain speeds in excess of 350 kilometers per hour under ideal conditions. Note that this swoop is referred to as the Peregrine-340 in Star Wars Gamer, issue 4. (NEGV, GMR4)

Peregrine's Nest
this was the name given to the last in a long line of Garm Bel Iblis' hideouts, established about two years after the Battle of Endor. His team set the base up with an eye toward striking out at Mon Mothma and the New Republic, rather than the Empire, based on Bel Ibis' fear that Mon Mothma would turn the Republic into a dictatorship under her sole command. Han Solo and Lando Calrissian were brought to Peregrine's Nest by Sena Midanyl, about five years after the Battle of Endor, after they discovered the relationship between Bel Iblis and Borsk Fey'lya. (DFR)

Perek
this pale blue-skinned humanoid made his home in a remote corner of the galaxy during the height of the New Order, earning a meager sum of credits as an artist. He remained aloof from the rest of the galaxy, preferring to work in solitude. Much of his artwork was created from the cast-off technology of a given society, and the battles of the Galactic Civil War provided him with a wealth of raw material. It also provided him with a vision of himself that was fed by his isolation, a vision in which he singlehandedly brought control to the galaxy. Using specialized droid "bugs", Perek was able to create a form of virus that spread through machinery, transforming it into a violent form of "artwork" that was controlled by Perek. In this way, he planned to take over the galaxy by turning every machine into a tool. These machines would then convert all living creatures into fuel, utterly subjugating the entire galaxy. Perek himself was discovered to be little more than a cyborged head attached to a mechanized frame. It was rumored that Han Solo defeated Perek during the early years of the New Republic, by hitting the mad artist with a Corellian spark grenade that disabled Perek's source of power and rendered Perek inert. (T19)

Peremptory
an Imperial-I class Star Destroyer, the Peremptory defeated the forces of the New Republic during the Battle of Storinal. This ship was later destroyed while trying to recover the Katana Fleet, after it was dispatched to fill a gap left by the absence of the Chimaera, which had been detained at Wayland by Joruus C'baoth. Using the slave-rigging systems of the Katana, Han Solo and Lando Calrissian managed to ram a Dreadnaught into the Peremptory, utterly destroying both ships. (DFR, ECH)

Pergallis, Tren
this Imperial Governor was placed in charge of the planet Stassia, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He abolished the fifteen Head Clans which had controlled the planet, hoping that a single voice would help the Stassians accept the Empire. (SWJ6)

Pergitor
this planet, located in a star system of the same name, is found in the Minos Cluster. It was once a lush, tropical garden of a world, and it held a rich cache of rare and exotic minerals. The original settlers were employees of Jesa Corporation who came to Pergitor to mine the minerals. The planet's ruling class descended from Jesa Corporation's leadership. The mining operations continued to take material out of the planet's crust, until intense deep-bore mining by the Jesa Corporation resulted in a volcanic eruption which filled the atmosphere with ash for several years. The eruptions occurred about 100 years before the Battle of Yavin, and tons of toxic elements were expelled by the volcanos. These chemicals are now a permanent part of the atmosphere, and life on Pergitor has been nearly wiped out. The remaining natives must use gasmasks when travelling outside, and all buildings are built air-tight to keep the chemicals out. The average day on Pergitor encompasses 34 standard hours, and its year lasts 291 local days. (GG6)

spanning the Solleu River in the city of Theed, on Naboo, this bridge was built to take some of the traffic away from the more fragile Bassa Bridge. (IWE1)

Perhi
this surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG)

Perhi, Dal
this Black Sun agent was dispatched to clean up the remains of Yanth the Hutt, after Darth Maul executed the vigo while recovering Hath Monchar's crystal holocron. He assisted young Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was seraching for Darsha Assant, by providing information on Yanth's death. Obi-Wan single-handedly disarmed a group of thugs when he entered the bar, and his skills both amazed and frightened Dal Perhi, especially after Perhi learned that Obi-Wan was just a padawan and not a full Jedi Knight. (DMSH)

Periander Feedback Circle
this was a form of computer security system meant to emit a shrill humming noise whenever a being tried to infiltrate a computer. As the illegal slicer got deeper into a system, the noise grew louder and louder. Many computer slicers actually found the Circle quite useful, as it gave them an idea of how well a slicing operation was going. (GMR10)

Peridon's Folly
this planet was a toxic, highly-industrialized weapons depot used by blackmarket dealers to sell state-of-the-art systems. The surface of the planet was covered with industrial urban centers and sprawling manufacturing facilities, with the only natural areas given over to weapons testing sites. It was on this planet that IG-88B collected its first bounty, removing a competitor from the path of the dictator Grlubb. (TBH)

Perigen
a non-narcotic painkiller which reduces concentration as a side-effect. (COJ)

Perit
this Mon Calamari was one of Prince Xizor's vigos, or one of his closest lieutenants. A former slave of one of Sienar Fleet Systems' executives, Perit learned the ins and outs of business and management while observing his master. Over time, Perit was given certain duties in the Sienar facility on Byblos, until he was suddenly reassigned to a master on Coruscant. That master turned out to be none other than Xisor himself, who had discovered Perit through the Mon Cal's infiltration of Sienar's datafiles. Perit eventually earned his position as vigo, controlling a wealth of technology and computer-related criminal rings. To many observers, Perit was the closest thing Xizor had to a friend. This earned Perit a measure of jealous from his fellow vigos, but Perit intimate knowledge of their business dealings kept most of them from trying to eliminate him. (SE, SESB, RESB)

Perit
this was one of the more common names given to males of the Mon Calamari race. To the Mon Calamari, this name meant "spear". (GCG)
