Dayark
this moon, which orbits the gas giant Nepe, in the Episol System of the Kathol Outback, is the most populous world in the Kathol Republic. An agricultural world, Dayark also served as the capital of the Republic and the seat of its government. It is tide-locked to Nepe's orbit, and so the sunward side of the moon is the only habitable area. (KO)

Daye
this was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Da'yid
this was a common Psadan name. (UANT)

Daykim, Onibald
one of the feral humans living underneath Imperial City in the early years of the New Republic, he is the "king" of his group. He was a low-level servant of the Imperial Palace branch of the Corusca Bank, during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. A small accounting error committed by his staff resulted in the name of Emperor Palpatine going to the top of a public list of loan defaulters. Although the incorrect list existed in the public domain for a few hours, Palpatine nonetheless found out about it,and fired the entire board of directors before demanding the identity of the culprit. Daykim fled to the undercity, rather than face Palpatine's wrath, and has existed there ever since. He maintains a strong and hale body, but he has lost all of his teeth and his hair has begun to fall out from years of living underground. (DA, JASB)

Daysong
this splinter group of the Rights of Sentience Party was formed to combat the subservient use of organic lifeforms in such menial tasks as guards and protectors. Daysong reasoned that the work could be done by droids, rather than forcing another being into the duty. Daysong had even gone so far as to argue the rights of synthflesh. When Leia Organa-Solo disappeared in the Meridian Sector during her visit to meet Seti Ashgad, the Daysong party sliced together a fake holo-transmission of her in an attempt to gain control of the Central Council. (POT)

Dayta
an Alliance transport group intercepted in the Javin Sector while fleeing from the Battle of Hoth. (TIE)

Daz
this was a common name given to male Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)

Dazen Mok
this being was one of the many Jedi Knights who trained at the Almas Academy, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. However, Dazen Mok chose to leave the Jedi Order, after soul-searching revealed that he should spend the restof his life exploring the Cularin System and its unusual events. After leaving the Almas Academy, Dazen Mok spent many years investigating the loss of the Nub Saar floating city in orbit around Genarius. His investigations led him to the unusual theory that Nub Saar was destroyed by some manifestation of the Dark Side of the Force, which had originally been awakened to help Karae Nalvas build the floating fortress of Conkesta. When the fortress was destroyed, the dark force returned to Genarius' core. Years later, it awakened during the construction of Nub Saar, and destroyed the city in its anger. His theory met with stern opposition from a number of Cularin officials. (LFCW)

Dazouri
this was a race of polymorphous beings, genetic cousins to the Lahsbees, which could shape their bodies into two distinct forms. Their normal form, known as its "rest form," was that of a short humanoid. Their larger form, known as the "rage form," was that of a huge, horned beast. Normal Dazouri are cunning creatures, while those in their "rage form" were homicidal maniacs. (SWJ12, PG3)

DBX-11
this DBX-series droid served as the mynock exterminator droid aboard the Black Ice shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Chief Engineer Skolos programmed DBX-11 to recognize the Alliance agents who were attempting to take control of the Black Ice as mynocks, and DBX-11 set out to exterminate them. The agents eventually convinced the droid that they were not, in fact, mynocks, and DBX-11 revealed that Skolos was behind the series of malfunctions which plagued the Black Ice. (BI)

DBX-series Droid

this huge, turret-mounted turbolaser was developed during the Clone Wars as the primary weapon of the Venator-class Star Destroyer. Eight of these dual-cannon weapons protected the Venator-class vessel, with two rows of four being mounted at the base of the command tower. Each DBY-827 could be calibrated to one of seven different blast intensities, depending on the mission profile of the vessel. Long-range tracking computers allowed the DBY-827 to be extremely accurate across distances up to ten light-minutes. Each of these weapons required a dedicated crew to operate, given their size and targetting requirements. (X3)

DC0052
known as the Intergalactic Speeder, the DC0052 was a sleek vehicle that found a market among the wealthier members of the galactic society during the final years of the Old Republic. The main body was a flattened hemisphere, resembling a flying wing. A pair of propulsion drives were attached at the back, and the central fuselage was adapted to enhance the speeder's maneuverability and speed. (IS3, TCG10)

DC-15
this was the standard-issue blaster weapon provided by the Old Republic to the cloned troopers developed on Kamino. The DC-15 could be configured as a simpler blaster, or outfitted with a longer stock and an accelerating barrel to create a blaster rifle. These weapons were first used during the Battle of Geonosis. They fired an intensely-power bolt of coherent, blue light, that could shred vehicles and droids as well as flesh. (VD2, LAWS)

DC-15A
this was a more powerful version of the DC-15 blaster rifle, which was produced for the original series of ARC Troopers. The DC-15A had a longer barrel, with the trigger set back along the stock. (VD3)

DC-15s
this was an upgraded version of the standard DC-15 blaster pistol that was considered the standard firearm of the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic. The DC-15s was issued primarily to the ARC Troopers, who used the weapon because it was small enough and powerful enough to be carried as a backup weapon. It was designed to employ tibanna gas as its source of energy. (LAWS, VD3)

DC-15x
this enhanced version of the DC-15 blaster pistol was developed as a sniper weapon, with additional sights and exceptional accuracy over large distances. The DC-15x was the favored weapon of those clone troopers who specialized in sharpshooting. (LAWS)

DC-17
the DC-17 blaster pistol was produced by the Old Republic for the clone troopers that fought during the Clone Wars. It was much more accurate - and much more powerful - than most standard-issue blaster pistols, and had a much higher rate of fire. This allowed specialized units of Jet Troopers to unleash a barrage of blaster fire as they moved through the sky. (LAWS)

DC-17m
this was a highly customizable version of the DC-17 blaster, produced by BlasTech during the last years of the Old Republic. The DC-17m was provided to many of the clone commandos of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. (SWI80, LAWS)

DD12
see Duro Delta Twelve. (WOTC, CCW)

DD-13
this medical droid was developed by Ubrikkian Industries as a surgeon, specializing in cybernetic replacements, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was known as the Galactic Chopper in many circles, in reference to its rough handling of patients and its usefulness in removing damaged limbs in favor of cybernetic replacements. The DD-13 surgeon droid stood just over 1.8 meters in height, moved about on a set of three spindly legs, and had a minimally humanoid form. What it lacked in bed-side manner, the DD-13 made up for in it ability to quickly and carefully connect a cybernetic prosthesis to a living host. The DD-13 was originally designed to serve on Ubrikkian transport ships, but the ship designs proved to be unworkable. So, the DD-13 manufactured simply for hospital use. Many of these droids were employed by the Separatists for the surgeries that were done on General Grievous and Darth Vader. (SWI81, VD3, SWDB)

DD-19
this Ubrikkian multitasking droid served aboard the FarStar as an overseer of the maintenance work done in the droid repair bay. DD-19 was known as the "slavemaster," because he drove his mechanics hard and demanded the best from them all. (DARK, KO)

DD6
a Merr-Sonn Munitions blaster pistol, the DD6 was produced as direct competitor to BlasTech's DL-18. The DD6 was stronger and more powerful, and its production set off the so-called "blaster wars" between Merr-Sonn and BlasTech. (GG9, GUN)

DDX Pulse Modulator
this device was used to ensure a steady power supply, minimizing spikes and surges while compensating for drops or low points. (GG9)

DE-10
this model of blaster pistol was mass-produced during the height of the New Order. (SWGAL)

Dead Bantha Gulch
this ravine was located just inside the Jundland Wastes near Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine. It was named by Platt Okeefe and Tru'eb Cholakk, who hid out in the gulch and found a bantha skeleton at the bottom. The gulch itself was riddled with caves and ravines in which the smugglers could hide their cargoes before a sale. The gulch was considered taboo to the Sandpeople, who feared the dead bantha. (IDC)

Dead Blade
this was the term used by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic to describe any non-energized weapon. Specifically indicating that the weapon was not a lightsaber, a dead blade was any meatllic weapon lacking a power source. Thus, vibro-bladed weapons were not considered dead blades. (SHPT)

Dead Eye
this vast area of still, dense fog and gases was located in the atmosphere of the planet Bespin. The Dead Eye was one of the few atmospheric phenomena that changed very little within Bespin's swirling gases. Its existence was noted during the initial exploratory missions to the planet, suggesting that it had been present in the atmosphere for centuries. (DN2)

Dead Forest
this dense forest, located on the planet Kashyyyk near the city of Kachirho, was inhabited by a colony of webweavers. The actual name of the forest was Kkowir Forest, but it became known as the Dead for two reasons. First, it was a desolate area that had been once been lush, but was infected with some plant disease that rendered the jungle a sickly gray in color. Much of the jungle died out, and any new growth was quickly consumed by the disease. Secondly, the Dead Forest was home to a number of webweavers and other creatures that usually killed and ate any being who dared to travel through it. A group of Wookiees known as the Dead Guard protected the various entrances to the Dead Forest, in an effort to protect the population of Kachirho. (SWGAL)

Dead Guard
this was the name given to the Wookiee soldiers who guarded the entrances to Kkowir Forest, on their homeworld of Kashyyyk. The name Dead Guard came from the fact that the Kkowir Forest was known locally as the Dead Forest. (SWGAL)

The missile launcher was placed where the salon pod had been. (SOG)

Dead Sector
this was another name for the abandoned Dacho District of Coruscant. (SWI65)

Dead Zone
this was a smuggler's term for one of the most remote sections of the Outer Rim Territories. It was in the Dead Zone - named for the fact that there was virtually no life to be found in the sector - that Talon Karrde established a communications relay station on Comra, during the height of the New Republic. (SQ)

Deadbelt, The
this was the name of the asteroid field located between the planet Tasariq and Trenal, in the Tasar System.

(WOA27)

Death Seal
this was a device which allowed an individual to protect the contents of a container from unwanted intrusion. The death seal could only be opened by entering a specific code or information, most often a retinal scan or DNA match. If broken into, the death seal released a deadly toxin or gas, killing the intruder instantly. (T7)

Death Seed
this plague was virtually unstoppable when it was first discovered. The basis of the Death Seed is the creature called a droch, which can steal the life force energy from its victim once it bites the victim. If allowed to remain attached, the droch can quickly burrow into its victim. Once inside, it is absorbed into its victim, but continues to drain life energy from it. The victim dies from unknown, though obviously viral, causes. Bacta therapy was found to quicken the disease, because the bacta only provided the droch with a renewed source of life energy as the victim healed. The Death Seed was controlled by the huge droch Dzym, which maintained a link to the lower drochs while obtaining life energy from their vicitms. When Dzym and Seti Ashgad began their quest for galactic domination, they unleashed the Death Seed plague on the Meridian Sector. Only through Luke Skywalker's communication with the Spook crystals on Nam Chorios was the plague defeated. The crystals agreed to be shipped off-planet, where they could help focus natural sunlight on the parasitic creatures. The Death Seed managed to wipe outnearly three-quarters of the sector before it was controlled. (POT)

Death Squad
this was one of the most violent branches of the Mandalorian military, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (RCHC)

Death Squadron
this grouping of capital ships was formed under the command of Admiral Ozzel, and was created to capture Alliance starships fleeing the Battle of Hoth. (CCG3)

Death Star
this satellite-sized battle station was developed by the Geonosians, under the direction of Darth Tyranus, from the original plans for the Expeditionary Battle Planetoid. After the Battle of Geonosis, these plans were refined by Tol Sivron and Bevel Lemelisk at the Maw installation, and the battle station was built by Bevel Lemelisk and Imperial Engineering. As the Alliance began to gather support, it was Grand Moff Tarkin who asked for a superweapon with which he could control the entire Outer Rim Territory, and the Death Star was the perfect weapon. It housed a huge superlaser which combined the output of multiple lasers into a single, focused beam. A huge focusing lens was built to accomplish this, located on the upper hemisphere. The superlaser was designed to be targeted at anything from a capital ship to a planet. This objective was known only to a select few, for Tarkin and the Maw's top scientists decided that they should downplay the role of superweapon to keep the project on schedule. In order to ensure continued cooperation of their employees, project engineers were told that the station would be used to break down dead planets, in an effort to reach the core of elements easier. To complete this ruse, the funding for the original Death Star came from funds diverted form the Departments of System Exploration and Public Works. The interior of the initial Death Star was planned to have 84 unique levels, each 1,428 meters in height. Each level was subdivided into 357 sublevels. The entire design was then divided into two hemispheres, each with twelve zones. The crew of the first Death Star consisted of 27,048 officers; 774,576 troops, pilots, and crewers; 378,576 support and maintenance crewers; 400,000 support droids; and 25,000 stormtroopers. Note that the Star Wars Trading Card Game - Battle of Yavin expansion set lists the Death Star's stormtrooper compliment at 25,984. The human inhabitants were provided with an array of parks, shopping centers, and entertainment facilities, since the average length of service aboard the station was to be six years without leave. At the north pole of the station was constructed a 100-story tower, which was heavily shielded and virtually impenetrable. This tower held Palpatine's operational headquarters, for those times when he was aboard the station. According to Imperial sources, the first Death Star took too long to construct, exceeding Palpatine's every deadline. Originally started during the Clone Wars, it was built in orbit around the prison world Despayre. Labor for the construction was taken at will from the prison below. When the first Death Star was completed, Tarkin ordered the superlaser tested on the planet Despayre itself. Needless to say, this initial test exceeded even Tarkin's wildest dreams. A second test was performed in the Alderaan System, when a captive Leia Organa refused to reveal the current location of the Alliance's main base. Imperial propaganda later explained that the destruction of Alderaan was caused by the Alliance, which tried to hamper the original tests of the battle station's weapons. However, despite its formidable weaponry, the original design was flawed, as it vented its main reactor directly to the outside. When the plans to the first Death Star were stolen by Alliance forces and delivered to the Massassi Base on Yavin 4, military personnel and technical experts under the command of General Jan Dodonna discovered this flaw. They believed that a proton torpedo could be fired into the exhaust shaft, resulting in a chain reaction that would destroy the station. During the Battle of Yavin, Luke Skywalker used a combination of luck and the Force to fire the fateful torpedo, destroying the Death Star from within. In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, Imperial propaganda claimed that the Alliance was to blame for the destruction of Alderaan. Propaganda went on to say that the Alliance "lured" the station to the Yavin System and destroyed it through treachery and deceit. The name "Death Star" was then "officially" used to honor the Imperial personnel who were killed in the destruction of the battle station. The original station was 120 kilometers in diameter, and had the following design features:

• 5 Access trenchs (2 at the poles, 2 midhemisphere, and 1 at the equator)
• Surface City Blocks
• Main Reactor Core with surrounding Power Cells
• 2 Ready Power Cells (midsection)
• 2 Hyperdrive Motivators, driven by 123 generators (midsection)
• 2 Sublight Drives (midsection)
• 2 Computer Cores
• Deep Armory and Hangar Bays (bottom hemisphere)
• Command Core (upper pole)
• 2 main Hangar Bays (upper pole and upper hemisphere)
• Deep Storage Bays
• Dry Bulk Storage Bays
• Liquid Bulk Storage Bays
• 5,000 turbolaser batteries
• 5,000 heavy turbolaser batteries
• 2,500 laser cannons
• 2,500 ion cannons
• 768 tractor beam generators
