Tarkin's Shears
this form of swoopchasing obstacle was outlawed by the sanctioned racing authority, but nevertheless was popular on non-regulated courses. Based on the Luzitall water obstacle, Tarkin's Shears employed transparisteel pikes imbedded in the outgoing walls of certain hairpin turns. The transparent spikes impaled those racers who came too close to the walls of the ravine while negotiating the turn. (BSS)

Tarkin's Teeth
this Imperial phrase was used after the fall of Willhuf Tarkin, and indicates surprise when sworn. (VOF)

Tarkin's Teeth
this jagged mountain range was located on the planet Carida, and was one of the many locations used by the Imperial Academy to train stormtroopers. Named for Moff Tarkin, the mountains were arid points of land situated about 300 kilometers from the Academy campus. They had been used for wargames for a few hundred years, and were the proving grounds for the MT-ST walker. (PH)

Tarkona
this was one of the more powerful Twi'leki clans. The name meant "stormy weather" in the Twi'leki language. (TEP, GCG)

Tarkosa
this elderly man was one of the Councilors who worked on the Managing Council of the survivors of the Outbound Flight Project, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Tarkosa was also one of the few remaining Survivors, having been an original member of the Outbound Flight team. Like many others among the Survivors, Tarkosa was angry at the Jedi Knights for not providing better protection against their attackers. When a Chiss-led expedition located the remains of Outbound Flight, Tarkosa called for the slow execution of every being assocaited with the original attack. His vengeance went unfufilled, as most of the Chiss who took part in the attack had since died. After the Vagaari threat was eliminated, Tarkosa grudgingly agreed to accompany the Outbound Flight Colony to Nirauan, staying as far away from the New Republic as they could. (SQ)

Tarkov
this Wookiee was a native of the Wawaatt Archipelago, on his homeworld of Kashyyyk, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When the fighting broke out across the galaxy, Tarkov's young son, Jaccoba, was ready to take the test that would elevate him to adulthood. While trying to kill a grantaloupe, Jaccoba's spear hit the outer shell of a Trade Federation MTT. This led Tarkov to realize that the Separatists had already landed on Kashyyyk, and were preparing to launch their invasion. He and Jaccoba rushed to the nearest city, Kahiyuk, to warn the leaders of the impending attack. It was Tarkov's warning that helped the Wookiees begin their defense of their homeworld. Tarkov and Jaccoba both enlisted in the military, fighting against battle droids to defend their home. (SWDB, CWC3)

Tarl
this young boy was one of three children Yander had with his first wife, on the planet Ord Cestus. The children grew up for many years without a mother, until Yander married Sheeka Tull. After Yander's death, the children continued living with Sheeka, although they stayed with aunts and uncles whenever Sheeka had to work. (TCD)

Tarl
this Imperial stormtrooper was assigned to the detachment led by Lieutenant Stalgis, which accompanied Luke Skywalker to Munlali Mafir during his search for information on the rogue planet Zonama Sekot. When their party was attacked by mutated Krizlaws, Tarl was caught and forced to ingest a Jostran individual. The Jostran began to fuse itself to Tarl's spine and nervous system, and would have overtaken him if Luke and his nephew, Jacen Solo, hadn't used the Force to keep the creature at bay. They took Tarl back to Tekli's medical facilities aboard the Widowmaker, where the Chadra-Fan was able to extricate the Jostran and save his life. (FH2)

Tarlo Ganar
this noted Khil tactician and warrior distinguished himself as a member of the Belnar Sector Force, during their defeat of the Peltsic League's forces. However, rather than face mandatory retirement at the end of his military career, Tarlo Ganar set out on his own and eventually joined the m'Yalfor'ac Order. He had been long a friend of Quaal Tavier Catharius, who recognized his skills and took him on as an advisor, despite the consternation of other Bitthaevrians. (AIR)

Tarlok, Kilon
this odd fellow managed the Terman Station outpost, between Sriluur and Sespe along the Sisar Run, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He had been in control of the station well before the Nalroni crimelord Spraz showed up and usurped the station. Tarlok believed that Sprax gave him complete control of the station, as long as the credits ended up in Sprax's coffers. In reality, Sprax planned to remove Tarlok at his earliest convenience. (SSR)

Tarm
this man, a native of the planet Jomark, was a villager who got involved in a dispute with Svan, some five years after the Battle of Endor. The dispute was mediated by Joruus C'baoth, with the help of Luke Skywalker, who had just arrived on the planet. (DFR)

Tarn, Eremin
this Jedi Knight, the second Padawan trained by Maks Leem, was one of the many who left the Jedi Order at the onset of the Clone Wars. Eremin believed that Jeisel and her band were correct about the Jedi Order, and Eremin's strong principles led him to abandon the Order to seek out the true path. (YDR)

Tarn, Rhad
this student of the Force was among the many young children who were being trained at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant when the Battle of Naboo occurred. Unfortunately, Rhad died shortly afterward. (YDR)

Tarn, Rhad
this young man was one of the many Jedi Knights who felt that the Jedi Order was becoming too militaristic during the early years of the Clone Wars. He left the Order to follow his teacher, Sora Bulq, to Ruul in protest of the Jedi's participation in the war. Rhad was a hot-tempered youth who openly declared that the Jedi should have joined the Separatists, since the Old Republic had become too corrupt and self-centered. When Asajj Ventress killed Mira, and said that she had been hired by Mace Windu himself to destroy Master Bulq, Rhad immediately demanded that Windu be held accountable for her death. He set out to capture both Windu and Ventress, but was intercepted by Ventress near her ship. In a brief lightsaber duel, Ventress nearly succeeded in drawing Rhad over to the Dark Side of the Force. His determination to prove himself flared into anger at the Jedi Order for holding him back, and he openly opposed the efforts of Jeisel and K'kruhk to return him to their cause. In a heated lightsaber battle, Tarn nearly killed Jeisel, but she managed to get her own lightsaber between them as he charged. Tarn was killed instantly. (OWS, J1)

Tarn, Wexlann
known as a gentleman among bounty hunters, Tarn was the child of a wealthy family. He loved fine art, and used his position as a bounty hunter as a way to gather expensive artworks for his own collection. The fees he collects all go toward the purchase of new pieces. (GG10)

Tarnab
this humanoid alien race was characterized by its triangular skull. At the lower point was the tapir-like snout; at the temples were four short horns. The mysterious blue eyes of the Tarnab people gave them a fearsome appearance, and their scraggly hair only added to the apparent danger. (OWS)

Tarnese Bleyd
this male Sakiyan served the Old Republic as an Admiral during the Clone Wars, commanding a MedStar ship that supplied the various Rimsoo units of the planet Drongar. It was in this position that Bleyd encountered Filba the Hutt, and the pair quickly began forming plans to make a profit from the sale of processed bota. Bleyd himself was skilled hunter of rare skill who was motivated more by a need to avenge his family name than by any true loyalty to the Republic. He believed that he deserved a much better posting that Drongar, and would have preferred somewhere at the heart of the fighting, where he could have used his innate skills to obtain a much higher-visibility position. The criminal aspect of his demeanor was not unusual, given that his father, Tarnese Lyanne, had become involved with Shiltu the Hutt. It was Shiltu's double-crossing that led to Clan Tarnese's downfall, ultimately forcing Bleyd to enlist with the Republic military in order to make ends meet. When, in Bleyd's opinion, the Republic failed to recognize his talents, he decided to make himself rich at the Republic's expense. He and Filba secretly made contact with the Black Sun organization, and arranged for a series of regular, though small, shipments of bota to be made available for sale. Filba's plans to freeze the processed bota in carbonite allowed them to ship the bota across the galaxy, making it more profitable for all. Bleyd, however, wasn't satisfied with the cut he was getting from Black Sun, and planned to set out on his own. These plans were thwarted, however, after Filba became equally as greedy, and tried to force Black Sun to pay a higher price for the bota. Bleyd confronted Filba shortly after the Hutt was poisoned by Kaird, and Filba died in his grasp. Black Sun sent an agent to investigate, and Bleyd promptly murdered him rather than giving in to their demands. This forced Kaird into action, and the Nediji confronted Bleyd about his actions. Bleyd, ever the hunter, accepted Kaird's challenge, and the two squared off in a knife duel. The duel appeared to be a stalemate until Kaird threw his knife at Bleyd. Bleyd deflected the knife with his arm, laughing at the Nediji's apparent foolishness. Unknown to Bleyd, however, was that the knife had been coated with dendriton toxin, which entered his system through the wound. Within minutes, Bleyd would have died from the toxin, although Kaird spared him any agony by cutting his throat before the toxin took effect. (MBS)

Tarnese Lyanne
this male Sakiyan, the father of Tarnese Bleyd, had made several hefty investments in black market and smuggling operations during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. However, he was double-crossed by Shiltu the Hutt, and he lost everything the Tarnese clan had owned. Clan Tarnese was disgraced, and Tarnese Lyanne's children were forced to look for work away from Sakiya. (MBS)

Tarnese!
this was the blood cry of Clan Tarnese. Both e's in the word have long vowel sounds. (MBS)

Tarnis

Tarnished Blades
this pirate gang was formed from the survivors of the Silent Blades group, which was routed by Vocis Kenit and the Far Orbit before its crew mutinied. They were led by Shel Marcino, who decided to help the Far Orbit out, especially if it meant getting a chance to strike back at Vocis Kenit. (FOP)

Tarong
an avian race evolved from the continual cross-breeding of two avian species once native to the Epidimi System. When the Old Republic discovered the system, they found the two species - living on the planets Iri and Disim - were genetically similar, and members from both were transported to the other planet. This simple experiment, over the millenia, has led the to extinction of the two original species and the 'birth' of the Tarong race. The average Tarong is a massive, winged quadriped, with a wingspan averaging around twenty meters. They have tough, leathery skin and long, hooked beaks. Young Tarongs are lighter in color than their older counterparts. Their front feet are almost as useful as hands, and are used to manipulate objects. Their rear feet are incredibly strong, and used for climbing and grasping. They are highly intelligent, and can master languages quickly. They are also very curious and friendly, wanting to learn everything about the beings they meet and considering them friends until they do something to harm the Tarong or its family. If the stranger acts violently, the Tarong will often capture them and carry them off to some remote location to die of exposure. Tarongs do not like physical violence, and will only hunt and kill for food. They live in tribes based on family relations, with the oldest member of the family in control of the tribe. They have a primitive technology of their own, but are extremely curious about the strange devices they found used by the rest of the galaxy. The more a device sparkles or blinks, the more attractive it is to a Tarong. (GG12)

Taroon
this young Rutanian boy was King Frane's second son, being just a year younger than his brother Leed. While Leed was away on Senali, Taroon was virtually ignored by his father, who failed to see that Taroon was growing into manhood with many of his father's traits. Chief among those traits was a short temper, and Taroon came to resent his father. When Frane called in Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to mediate the dispute over Leed, Taroon was allowed to accompany the Jedi to Senali. In a bold move to gain his father's attention, Taroon arranged to have Leed kidnapped, using Rutanian friends who were disguised as Senali to capture his brother. Taroon hoped to have Leed removed as heir-presumptive and take his place as the future king of Rutan. However, Taroon's plans were discovered by the Jedi, who arranged a meeting with King Frane to sort the matter out. Once Frane realized that Leed had made his own decisions, and that Taroon was more than just a "second son," he softened his position. When Leed decided to remain on Rutan to assume his rightful position as heir, Taroon again became angry, and tried to sabotage his father's hunting dogs and frame Leed for the act. When he learned that Drenna had remained on Rutan and was part of the hunting party, Taroon helped the two Jedi destroy the sabotaged seeker droids and restore peace. King Frane was forced to agree that Taroon would make a better leader than Leed, and agreed to allow Leed to return to Senali, while helping Taroon learn everything about rulership on Rutan. Frane even suggested that Taroon consider Drenna for his Queen, after seeing the girl's tenacity and strength. (SP)

Taroon System

Tarpaulin Plant
native to the planet Altor 14, these plants collect water by unique means. During the hot day, they appear to be large balls of green cloth. As needed, a number of broad leaves can be spread out to collect sunlight for photosynthesis. At night, the main ball of the planet unfolds to cover up to 1,000 square meters of ground. The plant simply allows moisture to condense on its leaves, funnelling it back to the center of the planet for storage. (GG4)

Tarpoon
this heavy, long-shafted spear was a tradition Whiphid weapon. The tarpoon was tipped with a wicked, three-tined blade, and was attached to a length of syntherope. It could be thrown at a target, and the wielder could then retrieve their prey by haulig back on the rope. Many Whiphids have been dragged around by their preyfor several minutes before it tired, in an event which became known as "riding the prey." (SPG)

Tarquin Zian
this Twi'leki male was a moderately successful smuggler during the height of the New Order. He made a brief living by trading arms to the small rebel cell on Kallistas in exchange for gemstones, which he then marketed to the highest bidder. The deal was brokered between Imperial Prefect Denglass Rinn and the Mantis Bounty Hunter Syndicate. After the capture of Pallas Quintell, Rinn employed Tarquin in the hunt for Jondrell Inx. (GG10)

a native of Coruscant, Tarracus was old enough to witness the downfall of the Old Republic and the rise of the New Order. Bonic joined the Alliance as an undercover agent, and he was known for his ability to disguise himself as virtually any other person. He used this skill to infiltrate several Imperial events on various Core Worlds, gathering information to return to the Alliance. However, he remained anonymous to much of the Alliance he supported, acting only as the agent codenamed Corewatch. (CRO)

Tarrens, Drigor
this man was once a member of the Qektoth Confederation, but disagreed with the way the group's motives were twisted from research to domination. He fled the confederation and received asylum on Uukaablis. Born on a colony near near the Kathol Rift, he remained silent about his defection from the confederation. Drigor is distinguished by the cybernetic replacement in his left eye, the cause of which is related to his history with the Confederation. About ten years before the FarStar found him on Uukaablis, he had learned that the Confederation was growing clones of its employees with enhanced abilities. Much of this work was shrouded in heavy security, and was performed without the knowledge of the employees. When Tarrens tried to tell the other members of this, his Y-Wing was destroyed. His body was recovered and repaired by the scientists involved, and Tarrens was sentenced to death by the Confederation's leadership. It was then that he fled to Uukaablis. The silvery eye stared straight ahead, no matter what direction Tarrens was looking. Tarrens agreed to help the crew of the FarStar expose the Confederation and obtain the cure for the biological weapon that had been contracted by much of its crew, shortly after realizing that he himself was infected. (KO)

this line of mini-cables can be used in place of a hardware scomp link. Tarris 800 cables can be used to modify a blaster to fire twice with each pull of the trigger. By connecting the cable between the V-4 plug and the trigger adaptor, a feedback loop can be created to send two pulses to the apas connectors, thereby opening the Heter valve twice. (CFG)

Tarro
this alien race originated in the Til system, on the planet Tililix. When the Til star exploded, the planet Tililix was destroyed. Only those Tarro off-planet at the time survived. An estimated 350 Tarro exist in the galaxy, all of them descendants of the Tarro who had survived the destruction of Tililix. The Tarro are a humanoid race characterized by their dark green skin and piercing yellow eyes. They have seven fingers on each hand, and are heavily muscled. They are formidable fighters and weapons-masters, and are known for their stubborn, independent natures. Little is known of their history and culture, given the cataclysmic reduction of their species. (GG12)

Tarturi, Berm
this man was Andara's Senator to the Old Republic, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Senator Tarturi struggled to maintain his position as the Andaran System's Senator, facing increasingly stronger opposition from Rana Halion and the populace of Ieria. He even made an enemy in Sano Sauro, when they argued vehemently for the rights to certain profitable trade routes. It was during this time that he spent more and more time on Coruscant, leaving his son Gillam to an education at the Leadership School. When Gillam disappeared, Senator Tarturi feared that he had been kidnapped as part of a plan to force Tarturi to recognize Ieria's independence. Senator Tarturi requested the assistance of the Jedi Knights in locating his son. (JQ5)

Tarturi, Gillam
this young man was the son of Senator Berm Tarturi of Andara, and attended the Leadership School on Andara during the years following the Battle of Naboo. An only child, Gillam found himself alone after the death of his mother when he was twelve. With his father being called to Coruscant on politics, Gillam's only family was at the Leadership School. Five years after the Battle of Naboo, the sixteen-year-old Gillam suddenly disappeared from the school, prompting his father to request an investigation by the Jedi Knights. Obi-Wan Kenobi was appointed to lead the mission, and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker was enrolled in the Leadership School to locate Gillam's friends. Anakin discovered that Gillam was actually the leader of a small band of students who were working as mercenaries in neighboring systems, causing public unrest and forcing "oppressive" leaders to abdicate their rule. It was Gillam who formed the team and recruited its members, although Rolai Frac assumed the role of leader after Gillam's "kidnapping." When Rana Halion employed the young mercenaries to strafe an Andaran military landing platform, as part of a plan to force Berm Tarturi to negotiate, Gillam gladly accepted. Unknown to Halion, however, Gillam planned to use live fire in the mission, as way to have himself "killed." He planned to ensure that Anakin Skywalker was killed in the mission, damaging the body enough so that it could pass as Gillam. Gillam then put plans in place to pin the blame for his kidnapping and death on his own father, Berm Tarturi, to ensure that Berm was discredited and stripped of any power he held. When the plans were exposed by the Jedi Knights, Gillam and his entire team were expelled from the Leadership School and transported to Coruscant for questioning. (JQ5)

Tartuta
this vicious, Dug bounty hunter was part of the group hired by Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader to hunt down Sagoro Autem, during the months following the Clone Wars. Tartuta was able to locate Autem at the same time as the Shistavenan hunter Severian, but rather than capturing Autem, the pair fought amongst themselves. Tartuta managed to sever Severian's right hand in their struggle, and Severian was forced to retreat and get medical attention. This allowed Tartuta to confront Autem on his own. They fought briefly, and just when Tartuta managed to gain the upper hand, he was shot and killed by a hidden assailant. Autem silently thanked the killing blast, unaware that it came from Evan Hessler. (RL)

Taru

She was adept at concealing weaponry on her body, avoiding the scanners and sensors to ensure Hat Lo was protected wherever he went. One of her best assets was her ability to blend into a crowd, which allowed her to move among the Outlander Club's patrons without arousing suspicion. (SWDB, SWI75)

Ta's Roost

Tas Sea
this was one of the many bodies of salt water found on the planet Ralltiir. It was in the middle of the Tas Sea, atop a rocky outcropping, that Alexi Garyn established his base of operations. (CCW)

Tasar Crystals
these colorful stones held religious meaning to the ancient Tasari people. These beautiful stones were formed in the cataclysmic meteor shower that nearly destroyed the planet Tasariq, and refined in the volcanic upheaval that continued for many decades. Ritual blood sacrifices were made to the crystals, in the hopes of unlocking their mystical potential. The Tasari also believed that these sacrifices would appease the dark gods who rained meteors down on the planet Tasariq, causing massive destruction and relegating the Tasari to a primitive existence. Modern Tasari have abandoned the practice of ritual sacrifice, but pockets of believers still exist in the power of the crystals. Tasar crystals are found in a variety of colors and patterns, and all are believed to have some form of magical or healing powers. They were valued throughout the galaxy, and many Tasari families sold their crystals in order to survive. (AE, SWJ15)

Tasari
this species of hairless humanoids was native to the planet Tasariq. Their faces are bird-like in structure, with a beak-like nose and feathery crests on the back of their skulls. They can live to be 120 years of age, and were known to be inquisitive and minded. Many centuries ago, the Tasari had a flourishing society, until a meteor shower rained down from the skies and destroyed much of the planet's surface. The Tasari were forced to revert to a primitive existence, finding shelter in the craters formed by the meteor impacts, and many blood cults rose from the ashes. These cults enacted blood sacrifices to tasar crystals in order to appease the dark gods who destroyed the planet. Over the next several hundred years, these cults died out, but pockets of believers still exist. In general, Tasari were friendly and outgoing, with a curiosity and openmindedness that allowed them to accept their place in the galaxy and explore beyond their borders. During the New Order, the Tasari had developed an industrial society, but could use more modern technology with relative ease. (AE, SWJ15)

Tasari Crossbow
his simple missile weapon was favored by the blood cults of the Tasari. Each of these crossbows was hand-built at the time when a yougn Tasari earned the right to become an adult. (SWJ15)

Tasariq
this planet was the second planet in the Tasar System, and the homeworld of the Tasari race. Once a temperate world, Tasariq was bombarded many centuries before the Battle of Yavin by a meteor shower. The planet was pummeled, and much of its surface was destroyed. The resulting destruction of the surface created a large amount of chemicals in the atmosphere, rendering it barely breathable. Craters and gouges now dominate its landscape, but it was within these craters that breathable air was trapped, allowing the Tasari to build cities within the craters and survive the holocaust. In the midst of the destruction brought on by the meteors, the heat and volcanic activity combined to form Tasar Crystals out of the materials of the planet's crust. By the era of the Empire, Tasariq became known as the Planet of Crystal. (AE, SWJ15)

Tasariq City
this was the largest settlement on the planet Tasariq. It was established by the Empire, when the planet was first explored. Its layout was in the form of concentric circles, with Circle Park in the center. The Park was surrounded by the Shopper's Round, the governmental and administrative circle, then the living circle. (AE, SWJ15)

Tasariq Rangers
originally formed by Imperial Governor Dem Keval, this was a mercenary police force used to maintain control of the Tasar System during the Galactic Civil War. Governor Keval was given little in the way of resources to keep the system in line, so he hired a group of Iotran mercenaries to patrol the system. He named the group the Tasariq Rangers to give them a measure of legitimacy. (SWJ15)

Taselda
this ageless woman was among the first Jedi to come to the planet Nam Chorios. She claimed to have been sent to the planet at the behest of her Jedi Master, but it is believed that she and Beldorion went to the planet in hopes of finding some gift that would allow them to more fully use the Force. She was appalled at the living conditions she found, and remained on the planet as something of a leader to the Oldtimers. She kept order in Hweg Shul some 200 years before Callista arrived. When the Hutt Beldorion came to Nam Chorios, Taselda recognized his failures with the Force, and tried to keep him from gaining power. However, the Hutt prevailed, and in the battle her lightsaber was lost. She sustained numerous injuries in the fight, and found herself unable to create another lightsaber. When Callista arrived on the planet, Taselda used her desire to regain the Force as a fulcrum, and manipulated Callista. She hoped to used Callista to recover her lost lightsaber from Beldorion, but the young woman was overcome by the Hutt's augmented power. Later, Taselda tried to ensnare Luke Skywalker the same way, but he defeated her. (POT)

Tasion, Wink
this man was a contemporary of Alex Winger, and actually attended classes with her at the local university, during the early years of the New Republic.
