Ventor, Halagad
a native of Alderaan, Halagad was trained to be a Jedi Knight during the last years of the Old Republic. Halagad was trained by Everen Ettene, and it was known that he started his schooling in the Jedi arts at a late age. Ventor and Ettene were part of the team of Jedi who were believed lost when they were dispatched to resolve the growing conflict between the Virgillian Free Alignment and the Virgillian Aristocracy. Their transport was destroyed upon arrival, and it was feared that the four Jedi were killed. Halagad managed to survive the mission, however. He later served under Obi-Wan Kenobi during the Clone Wars, and was a distinguished warrior. Shortly after the start of Emperor Palpatine's rule of the galaxy, Ventor was captured by Darth Vader and brutally interrogated. All the information Halagad knew of the Jedi was stripped from him mind, and the Jedi Purge was virtually a complete success. Halagad, traumatized by the interrogation and the death of the Jedi, fled to Trinta. There, he succombed to the Dark Side nexus that was located on the planet, and gave himself over to the energies of the Dark Side of the Force. He was discovered nearly two decades later by a group of Alliance field agents who crashed on the planet, and their bravery and trust in the Light Side of the Force eventually brought Halagad out of his despair. Upon learning of the survival of Kenobi and the appearance of Luke Skywalker, Halagad fought against the Dark Side and defeated it, but died shortly afterward. His body disintgrated, and he became one with the Force. (DOE, HNN4)

Verdun, Tic
this man was a pratical theorist who specialized in the investigation of planetary origins, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Doctor Verdun was part of the team, led by Doctor Fort Turan, which traveled to Haariden to investigate the effects of a volcanic environment on the planet's atmospherics and ecosystem. When the team was beset by Haaridan rebels who had broken the tentative cease-fire, it was Doctor Verdun who managed to keep them one step ahead of the rebels. His survival skills kept the team alive for several weeks, until Obi-Wan Kenobi and Soara Antana and their Padawans, Anakin Skywalker and Darra Thel-Tanis, could arrive and rescue them. Obi-Wan later discovered that Doctor Verdun had been added to the team of scientists at the request of Senator Sano Sauro, who had been the committee chairperson who proposed the mission to Haariden. Further investigation led Obi-Wan to the inevitable conclusion: Tic Verdun was actually Granta Omega. Anakin had already discovered this, though, after befriending Tic and meeting with him several times back on Coruscant. Using the guise of Tic, Omega managed to lure Anakin into a place where he could be drugged, so that Omega and his conspirators could question the young Padawan on the nature of the Force. Anakin managed to escape, with help from Obi-Wan, and exposed Omega's true identity. (JQ4)

Vered
one of the Empire's last remaining Moffs, Vered met with the other seven major Imperial leaders on Bastion to discuss Admiral Pellaeon's proposed peace treaty with the New Republic some ten years after the death of Thrawn.

Verga Mer Mining Company
this was one of the largest mining operations which worked in the Cularin System during the last decades of the Old Republic. They employed what they called a "purely organic workforce," removing all their droid laborers as part of a media campaign to attract itinerent workers in the system. The Verga Mer Mining Company was originally founded by Verga Nus and Mer Stodiz, and grew it into a company known for its ability to accomplish whatever goals it set for itself, in the most expedient manner possible. (LFCW)

Verga Nus
this Sullustan was one of the founders of the Verga Mer Mining Company, along with Mer Stodiz. The pair had to deal with a number of setbacks during the years following the Battle of Naboo, primarily the poor economic conditions brought about by the Clone Wars, but they managed to keep VMMC a profitable business. (LFC, WOTC)

Vergence
this was a term used by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic to describe an intense concentration of the Force. Most often, vergences were associated with relics and places, but sometimes they were centered on a living being. This being often had a high concentration of midi-chlorians in their body, and could touch and use the Force with little or no training. (SW1)

Vergere
this feathered, avian was a member of the Fosh species. Vergere was also a Jedi Knight, and she was dispatched to Zonama Sekot two years after the Battle of Naboo, in an effort to discover the source of Sekotan starships. The Jedi received no communication from her for a year. Her Master, Thracia Cho Leem, feared for her life, and requested that the Jedi Council send another party to try and find her. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker eventually discovered that, during her attempt to bond with a Sekotan starship, the planet was attacked by a group of Far Outsiders. In an effort to draw them away from the living planet, Vergere engendered herself to them and allowed herself to be taken by them, in exchange for the safety of Zonama Sekot. She left behind a message for any Jedi who followed her to Zonama Sekot, in the seed-partners she had to leave behind, warning them of the presence of the Yuuzhan Vong. She then dedicated herself to closing off the Force and pretending to be a loyal familiar of the Yuuzhan Vong priestess, Falung. During this time, she learned everything she could about the aliens, while giving out as little information as she could. She knew that the Old Republic's meager armed forces would be no match for the Yuuzhan Vong. Decades later, she returned to the known galaxy, posing as a familiar to the Yuuzhan Vong priestess, Elan. Vergere had never given up hope of returning to the galaxy, but served Elan faithfully while biding her time. When Elan was chosen to act as a hostage to the New Republic, in an effort to destroy the Jedi Knights, Vergere accompanied her as a loyal servant. Vergere then revealed her true heritage to Elan, but did not reveal her position as a Jedi. In reality, Vergere was looking for a way to return home. After Elan was killed by the bo'tous she planned to use on the Jedi, Vergere gave Han Solo a sample of her tears, which she had chemically manipulated with the Force. In addition to simple lacrymal fluid, the tears contained an unusual substance which counteracted the effects of the coomb spores. During her captivity among the Yuuzhan Vong, Vergere had learned to internalize the Force, and use it to keep herself alive without revealing her true identity to her captors. These tears eventually allowed Mara Jade Skywalker to recover from her illness. Vergere, once free of Elan, fled the Millennium Falcon in an escape pod, and returned to the Yuuzhan Vong. She later supplied Warmaster Tsavong Lah with information on the Millennium Falcon, to satisfy Tsavong Lah's quest to capture and kill Jacen Solo. In this way, Vergere became Nom Anor's chief rival among the Warmaster's underlings, a situation which was as dangerous as it was favorable. When the Jedi Knights discovered the voxyn creche in orbit around Myrkr, Vergere allowed herself to "help" the Jedi, giving the Yuuzhan Vong a chance to capture Jacen Solo and bring the Warmaster one step closer to achieving his goals. Despite her treachery, Vergere paused long enough to cry for Jacen, exuding some of her healing tears to heal him in preparation for the torture he was to endure. Vergere then developed a relationship with Tsavong Lah, hoping to receive a chance to remain near Jacen. Her wish was granted when she and Nom Anor were placed in charge of the so-called Solo Project, during which time Vergere taught Jacen that there was more to the Force that light and dark. Although she refused to reveal her true intentions, Vergere gave Jacen enough information to push him in the proper direction. It was Vergere who stopped Jacen from destroying all the dhuryams bred by Master Shaper Ch'Gang Hool, which gave her just enough leeway to allow Jacen to be transported to Coruscant, which had been reshaped into a new version of Yuuzhan'tar. There, she continued his "training", until he discovered a way to befriend the World Brain. After establishing his connection to the mature dhuryam, Jacen and Vergere fled Coruscant on their own. They stole Nom Anor's coralcraft, hidden in the Well of the World Brain, in order to get off-planet. When Nom Anor accused Vergere of being a traitor to the True Way, she simply responded that she had learned it from him. Vergere remained with Jacen for several months, and eventually met Luke Skywalker. She continued to challenge the new Jedi about their beliefs about the Force, questioning the very definition of the Force in the light of the obviously-alive though Force-blank Yuuzhan Vong. She urged Jacen to follow his destiny, but was concerned when Jaina Solo was trapped during the Battle of Ebaq. When Jacen tried to rescue his sister, Vergere knew that his death would destroy any remaining hope the New Republic might have. So, she commandeered a starfighter and returned to the Yuuzhan Vong. She received permission from the Warmaster Tsavong Lah to return to his worldship, but never planned to actually land her craft. Instead, she used the access she had gained to the Yuuzhan Vong blockade to drive her starship into the surface of Ebaq 9, venting the mining shafts to the vacuum of space. This suicide mission was so sudden that the Yuuzhan Vong forces on the moon were unable to place their ooglith masquers over their faces before they lost consciousness and died. Jacen and the New Republic team on the moon, however, managed to survive. Jacen himself was visited by the spirit of Vergere, and later understood Vergere's concern over his emotional actions. He then pledged to honor her memory by following the Force to his own destiny. (RP, HT, JE, EVR, SBS, T, DW)

Vergesso Asteroid Field
located in the Lybeya System in the Rim Territories, the Vergesso Asteroid Field was actually a collection of five distinct belts of planetary debris. Scientists and archaeologists have raised a number of theories about the system, but most seem to agree that some extraordinary force ripped apart every planet in the system and scattered their debris into the asteroid belts. The fields were named for Doctor Ecile Vergesso, who did the first work on the formation of the field. The Vergesso Asteroids were used by Ororo Transportation to hide a shipyard on one of the larger asteroids, known as Vergesso Base. The base was also used as a stopover point for much of the Tenloss Syndicate's spice trade. Xizor, displeased with Ororo for trying to horn in on his spice trade, provided the location of the shipyards to Darth Vader, telling Vader that the coordinates were for an Alliance shipyards. Xizor damaged Ororo and gained favor with the Empire in one blow. (SE, SESB)

Vergesso Base
this was the name of Ecile Vergesso's base of exploration, during his survey of the asteroid belts which surrounded the star Lybeya.

She sent an urgent message of danger back to Coruscant from the planet Kwannot, and Qui-Gon and his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, were dispatched to Kwannot to locate her. They found her in a dark alley, but were unable to stop Aurra Sing from killing her, with her own lightsaber, in cold blood. (T12)

Veridicator 200
produced by Saldalith Manufacturing, this device appeared to be a beautiful bracelet made from Falasian liquid crystal inlay. In reality, it was a complex sensor device which could interpret the biorhythms of an individual and determine the truth of their words and actions. The use of this type of device was outlawed in many systems during the height of the New Order, unless the being who was scanned had given their expressed permission. (GFT)

Verkuyl
a planet which was under Imperial control until early in the New Republic, Verkuyl was known as an alazhi manufacturing center which survived outside the control of the Bacta Cartel. It was also known as an Outer Rim backwater world with an incredible odor, generated from the alazhi production. It is one of the few planets in the galaxy with forests of alazhi trees. The planet was originally purchased by Corlin Quarle Deld, who imported workers by getting them to sign ten-year indentured contracts. Over the years, the natives became virtual slaves to Verkuylian BactaCo, until the planet was nationalized by the Empire. The Empire helped eliminate one form of slavery, and instituted another. The New Republic eventually liberated Verkuyl, but it was unknown whether the natives truly wanted to be freed. The average day on the planet lasts about 27 standard hours, and its year lasts 315 local days. (TFNR, SWJ13)

Verkuylian BactaCo
this bacta-producing corporation, based on the planet Verkuyl, was the only such facility known to operate outside the control of the Bacta Cartel headquartered on Thyferra. During the height of the New Order, many of the corporation's leaders - as well as many of Verkuyl's political leaders - abandoned the philosophy of self-ownership and aligned themselves with the Empire. It was founded by Corlin Quarle Deld, who manned the operation with indentured workers. While not exactly slaves, the workers eventually owned more to the BactaCo than their small salaries paid. The corporation was nationalized by the Empire when it took control of Verkuyl, and the workers were freed from their contracts. However, they were forced to work more hours with less time off. The New Republic later liberated Verkuyl and the BactaCo. (TFNR, SWJ13)

Pellaeon had hoped to begin negotiating a peace treaty with Bel Iblis, but Vermel's corvette was intercepted by a Star Destroyer dispatched by Moff Disra. Disra attempted to waylay Pellaeon's plans for peace, and captured Vermel before he could reach the New Republic. However, Vermel was able to send out a garbled transmission to Rogue Squadron shortly before he was taken captive. Vermel was then held at Rimcee Station, until Pellaeon could recover him. (SOP, VOF)

Vermiform Vine
a species of rust-colored plant native to Yavin 4. (DA)

Vermilic
this Hutt clan was known for its impetuous actions. Several years after the Battle of Endor, a young Hutt of the Vermilic clan disregarded the Hutt Commercial Laws and executed his counselor.

He later served as Dutra Zeneta's commanding officer, but was killed in action shortly before the Battle of Hoth. (RASB, SWJ10, AIR)

VernanGroup
this heavy industrial manufacturer was one of the original Signatory Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. They held a significant share of the Minos-Mestra Corporation during the last century of the Old Republic, but the institution of the New Order severely depressed the economy of the Minos Cluster, and VernanGroup was forced to sell out to local investors. (CSA, GG6)

Verne
this wild, herding mammal was native to the planet Dathomir, and was prized for its leathery hide. (GQRG)

Verneilan Parasite
this microscopic parasite is virtually undetectable when it it immature. However, once it finds its way inside the body of a host organism, the parasite lodges itself in the host's throat and begins to drink its blood. The parasite grows quickly as it gorges, filling the host's throat and causing the host to choke to death. The parasite then explodes, filling the host's body with toxic fluids from its gut. (POC)

Vernet
this world was the second planet in the Vernet System of the Expansion Region. Vernet was a temperate world under Imperial control during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Much of the planet was given over to farms and agriculture. Vernet was located at the heart of the Expansion Region, had three moons. Note that the system log found in Star Wars Adventure Journal #15 indicates that Vernet only had two moons. (SWJ15)

Vernoi

He was also slightly xenophobic, and treated newcomers with similar disdain. (CTV)

Veron
a planet with an ancient, aristocratic House. Located in the Veron System, in the Mektrun Cluster, it is the homeworld of the Gazaran race. Its tropical jungles and forests attracted many tourists. This industry also helped them co-exist with an Imperial garrison during the Galactic Civil War, since the Gazaran offered no resistance. The average day on Veron lasts about 26 standard hours, and the year encompasses 367 local days. The Veron System is centered around the binary stars Noveron and Orell. (COJ, PG1)

However, life on the planet Lianna didn't agree with his cultured upbringing, and decided to manage the project from a more urbane world. He continued to monitor the NOVA project. (ML)

Verpine
an insectile/reptilian race known for their ability to fix high-tech devices, they were the original settlers of the Roche asteroid system. Their exact homeworld remains a mystery even to the Verpine. The Verpine have developed a high level of technology, but retain a child-like sense of wonder at the galaxy around them. The Verpine body is thin and ungainly, and has only four limbs - two long arms and two thin legs. Their large, black eyes have evolved beyond the normal ability of the multifaceted eyes of most insects, allowing the Verpine to see incredible levels of detail. They live in hives of about 100 Verpine, and reproduction is only required when the population of the hive drops below a certain level. Despite their hive mentality, each Verpine is allowed individual thoughts. Their communal consciousness precludes the need for formal government. They have a body organ in their chest that allows them to emit radio waves and thus communicate with each other across distances. There is some discussion on the necessity of the Verpine's antenna, and the fact that the most criminal Verpine have always had damaged antennae. The Verpine were strong supporters of the Alliance, but didn't join it, although the Verpine helped Ackbar develop the B-wing fighter. Their system of mathematics is a base-6 system, which often presents unique difficulties in transferring their technology to humans, which use base-10. They built a series of hives in the Roche asteroids, and connected them with focused repulsor beams. (CPL, DFR, DFRSB, XWN, SFS, GG4)

Verpine
this was the spoken language of the Verpine people, which could be spoken or communicated via radio waves to another individual. (UANT)

Verpine Bond Gauntlets
similar to stabilizer gauntlets, bond gauntlets were designed by the Verpine race to imitate their exoskeletons. The gauntlets themselves were formed from a tensor-mesh material that stiffened the forearm of the wearer, allowing them to safely manipulate volatile materials with a minimum of extraneous movement. (KOTOR)

Verpine Headband
developed during the era of the Great Sith War, this device was similar in many respects to a cyborg construct or other interface band. However, because the Verpine were operating outside the control of the Old Republic, they were able to build their headband to use extreme electrical force. Although this greatly increased the user's mental abilities, long-term usage caused many problems. (KOTOR)

Verpine Ocular Enhancer
this form of cybernetic vision improvement system was developed for export by the Verpine, which had no need for such enhancements. The system was based on the idea of a visor, but the internal systems provided a visual acuity that was almost as good as that of the Verpine themselves. (KOTOR)

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