Persuader-class Droid Enforcer
this immense, treaded combat droid was produced by the Corporate Alliance during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The main body of the droid was given over to handling the huge central tread, which ran from two small wheels at the front and rear to the massive drive wheel near the front of the droid. Two wheeled outriggers could be extended to provide stability when moving over rough terrain. Attached to the housing that protected the drive wheel were two eye-like visual sensors that provided the Persuader with information about its surroundings. Tracking, sensor, and communications systems were located atop the droid's main body, while while a homing laser and an ion cannon were mounted to each side. The Persuader-class droid stood 6.2 meters in height, not including the comm relay, and could attain speeds of fifty kilometers per hour. The Corporate Alliance developed the Persuader to act as a short-range reconnaissance drone, moving into enemy territory to gather information about troops strengths and terrain. Although first put to widespread use during the Clone Wars, these droids were originally used on missions where the Corporate Alliance felt it had to protect its assets or forcibly recover what it was owed. While the Persuader was quite effective in its mission profile, it could only be used on stable, open terrain. It could not maneuver in forested areas, and often fell through the surface of snow- and ice-covered worlds. (NEGV)

Pesitiin
this gaseous planet, known for its intense atmospheric storms, was once the site of a Bosken & Bosken mine. Admiral Pellaeon had hoped to meet Garm Bel Iblis near Pesitiin, some ten years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, in an effort to discuss a peace treaty between the New Republic and the remnants of the Empire. Pellaeon had sent Colonel Vermel to Morishim to deliver an inviation, but Vermel was intercepted by Moff Disra's forces before he could get off a garbled message to Rogue Squadron. The message was never completely understood, and so Bel Iblis never went to Pesitiin. Pellaeon did go, to wait for Bel Iblis, but was attacked bu Cavrilhu Pirates. The pirate ships, operating under orders from Disra, were marked with Corellian Defense Forces insignia, hoping to fool Pellaeon into believing Bel Iblis was attacking. Pellaeon didn't buy the attack, recognizing several battle maeuvers that Bel Iblis would not have attempted. Unshaken, Pellaeon remained at Pesitiin, waiting for Bel Iblis while questioning the loyalty of Disra. (GG2, SOP)

Pesktda Xenobiological Garden
this was the foremost natural garden found on the planet Garqi, and it was located near Garqi Agricultural University. Known to the Garqians as simply The Garden, this facility was famous throughout the galaxy for its collection of exotic plantlife. It was honored as one of the only botanical gardens to have been given bafforr trees by the Ithorians. The grove of bafforr trees stood opposite a grove of greel trees, forming the endpoints of The Garden. In between these groves were stands of namana trees, senoti trees, and even a wisdom tree from Selab. It was on Garqi that Corran Horn and Jacen Solo discovered that the pollen of the bafforr tree was deadly to the Yuuzhan Vong's vonduun crab armor here, after retreating to the gardens during an attack. The Ithorians had believed that the natives of Garqi held to the same basic beliefs of nature as they did, and allowed the bafforr to be transplanted on Garqi. Horn decided that this discovery needed to be kept from the Yuuzhan Vong, and had this teams burn down the sections of the garden containing bafforr trees. Unfortunately, Shedao Shai eventually figured out why the gardens were burned. In retaliation, Deign Lian ordered the destruction of the planet Ithor. (DTR, GORW)

Pestage, Sate
Emperor Palpatine's Grand Vizier, Pestage had served Palpatine as a senatorial aide before becoming one of the Emperor's most trusted advisors. During the height of the Clone Wars, Pestage was the controller of the Galactic Senate's executive agenda. This allowed him to have regular contact with the Senators, and his powers of persuasion went a long way toward convincing uncertain Senators to support Palpatine's initiatives. He personally oversaw the preparation of Palpatine's food, tasting it for poisons. He scheduled all of Palpatine's meetings, held the Imperial Seal, and managed the Emperor's household. Many beings even rumored that Pestage was one of the first clones created from Palpatine's genetic material. While none of rumors ever proven false, Pestage's loyalty to the Emperor was without a doubt. For all his hard work, Pestage was presented with the stewardship of the Ciutric Hegemony by Palpatine himself. Historians of the Empire acknowledge the fact that Sate Pestage, for all intents and purposes, was running the Empire at the time of the Battle of Hoth. Pestage was also one of the few people who knew about the Eidolon project, and actually diverted funds from it to build a small retreat on Tatooine. He then hired Lirin Banolt to acquire artwork and antique weapons to furnish it. Banolt managed to steal the plans for - and location of - the Eidolon, and threatened to blackmail Pestage, but the wily Vizier had Banolt executed before any damage could be done. When the Emperor died at Endor, Pestage assumed control of the majority of the Empire's military, but his rule was constantly questioned by other Imperial leaders. When Pestage lost his holdings on Ciutric to Prince-Admiral Krennel, he fled to Axxila, hoping to evade Ysanne Isard. Pestage arranged to meet with Leia Organa, and the New Republic sent Winter to act as Leia on a diplomatic mission to Eiattu to cover the Axxila trip. He offered her the chance to take the planet Coruscant in return for his own safety. Leia agreed, and Pestage found a temporary safety. Pestage also helped Leonia Tavira flee from Axxila, ensuring that another ally would be available if he needed one in his struggle against Ysanne Isard. Isard was only marginally loyal to Pestage, and had suspicions of his meeting with Leia. Pestage also told Tavira about the Eidolon weapons cache, hoping she could recover anything which remained. However, he earned the enmity of Isard when he ordered Admiral Krennel to stand down in his assault on Axxila, after Soontir Fel issued an AT3 directive to break off the attack. Isard returned to the Imperial council and brought news of Pestage's treachery, and the council ordered him to be removed form power. He fled to Ciutric with the help of Leonia Tavira, and was held by Governor Brothic. However, a bribe kept Brothic from relaying word of his arrival to Isard, allowing the New Republic time to set up a rescue operation. Commando Team One, with the support of Rogue Squadron and Aggressor Wing, was able to liberate Pestage before Isard's forces could capture him. Pestage, however, had other ideas, and slipped away from the Republic agents and presented himself to Admiral Krennel. Krennel, however, desired more than the prestige of recovering Pestage. He killed Pestage by strangling him with his cybernetic hand. It was later revealed that Pestage had been cloned by Sarcev Quest. While the clone was killed by Krennel, the real Pestage retired to Byss to await the possible return of Palpatine's spirit. When this did occur, Pestage was there, ready to help the new-formed Palpatine regain his power and control. The true Pestage died, however, when Byss was destroyed by the Galaxy Gun.

Petition of the Two Thousand
this was the unofficial name used the Senators of the Old Republic to describe a petition started by Bail Organa and Mon Mothma to overturn some - if not all - of the emergency powers that had been granted to Chancellor Palpatine during the Clone Wars. The Senators who signed the petition - who included the original draftees Padme' Amidala, Fang Zar, Bam Breemu, Giddean Danu, and Chi Eekway - started the petition in an effort to restore democracy in the Republic without starting another war of separation. The goal of the petition was to make Palpatine realize that the need for emergency powers and extended control of the galaxy was no longer necessary. Initially, it was decided that the Jedi Order would not be consulted about the petition, because many signatory Senators were unsure of the true position of the Jedi. Although Palpatine agreed to hear the petition, he twisted its intentions when discussing it later with Anakin Skywalker. Palpatine told Anakin that the petition was not a call for a return to normalcy in the Republic, but the opening salvo in a Jedi-led plot to overthrow the Chancellor's office and place control of the galaxy in the hands of the Jedi Council. According to Palpatine, the Delegation of the Two Thousand that drafted and signed the petition was under the control of the Jedi Council's powers of persuasion. The Petition later became the basis upon which Palpatine began his purge of the Senate, since he knew that most every Senator in the Delegation of the Two Thousand had opposed his control of the galaxy. (IS3, E3N, SWI85)

As the battle turned to the Sith, Petja and many other Jedi took up bow and arrow to kill those bouncers who were being driven mad by the death toll. It was Petja who mistakenly killed Laa, an act which suddenly angered the young girl named Rain who had become friends with Laa. Reaching deep within herself to harness her anger, Rain was consumed by the Dark Side of the Force and used it to shatter every bone in Petja's body. (JVS)

Her parents groomed her to become an Intelligence agent herself, but they were arrested for an unspecified crime when she was old enough to hate them and miss them at the same time. Since the Empire had been her life, she joined the Intelligence agency and rose quickly through the ranks She spent a good deal of time in the guide of Chyan Mezzine, a New Republic Naval officer. Later, as one of the code slicers who worked on the Morrt droid deployment project, she was able to provide the Republic with the false information that led to the destruction of Talon Squadron. She also discovered the New Republic's base on Folor, but actually found the false beacons placed on the opposite side of the moon. This allowed the starfighters to scramble and get away before Trigit could attack. During the destruction of Trigit's command ship, the Implacable, Petothel used her slicing skills to gain entrance to Trigit's personal escape pods to flee the ship before it could take her with it. After escaping, she wondered at the reasons the Empire would condone the actions of a man like Trigit, who would willingly sacrifice his entire crew for a mission's outcome, especially if retreat would mean the chance to fight another day. After returning to Coruscant, she assumed the identity of Lara Notsil, which involved dyeing and cutting her hair as well as removing her birthmark. As Lara, she eventually gained a place in Wraith Squadron. The part of her that was still Gara wanted to use her new position to gain her a place with Warlord Zsinj, but after seeing the New Republic's actions from the other side, she decided to remain as Lara and break off all ties with the Empire. However, she re-used the Gara Petothel identity after she was exposed by Garik Loran's investigations and fled the Wraiths, in order to gain access to Zsinj and the Iron Fist. She claimed to be working for the Empire again, but instead managed to severely disable the Iron Fist before fleeing to Corellia and adopting the identity of Kirney Slane. (WS, IF, SOC)

Petranaki
this was the ritualistic form of arena-based martial arts that was developed by the Geonosian race. It centered on the use of specialized weaponry - known as the petranaki array - which changed very little ove rthe course of Geonosian history. It was believed that petranaki was based on Geonosian mythology, in which ancient hive overlords became angry at the incredible loss of life that occurred during the wars between rival hives. These overlords, who were giants compared to modern Geonosians, fought against each other in single combat on the surface of Geonosis. In this way, entire hives were not sacrificed in battle, but the overlords could determine who was the strongest among them. (GORW)

Petrana-ki

PG-5
this was the designation of a series of gunnery droids which were prototyped by Industrial Automaton during the New Order. They were originally designed to augment the crews of Imperial warships with mechanical weapons, shield, and sensor operators. The PG-5 series was based on the P2 astromech design from IA, making it a large, bulky machine which was programmed to operate, repair, and maintain the ship's systems. However, these droids had to communicate via scomp link, limiting their usefulness in combat. Also, their programming was not voerly aggressive, so their ability to shoot down a target in battle was minimal at best. After the Empire rejected the prototypes it ordered from IA, the PG-5 series was discontinued. (FTD)
