Intergalactic Law Agency
this agency was conceived during the last century of the Old Republic, when the need for a galaxy-wide law enforcement agency became prevalent. The ILA was eventually disbanded in favor of groups like the Sector Rangers. (MDCAR)

InterGalactic Ores
this was one of two major mining corporations which established lommite mining operations on the planet Dorvalla, in Videnda Sector, during the last century of the Old Republic. IGO tried to bully its main competitor, Lommite Limited, out of the business via a series of industrial sabotage actions. In the midst of their struggle, Darth Sidious decided to use their feud as a way to run both companies out of business. Sidious' apprentice, Darth Maul, manipulated events so that LL and IGO destroyed their corporate ranks, leaving the lommite mines on Dorvalla open to the Trade Federation. In the wake of these events, IGO was forced to merge with Lommite Limited inorder to form Dorvalla Mining, which controlled the actual operations on Dorvalla but lost all control of the shipping rights in the system to the Trade Federation.

Intergalactic Zoological Society
this research association was formed on the planet Mycroft during the height of the Old Republic, and endured decades of political turmoil to emerge as the New Republic's primary zoological research center. The members of the society were strongly opposed to siding with any government or political party, believing that the knowledge of life should not have political boundaries. Thus, they strove to remain a neutral organization during the Clone Wars. During the era of the New Order, it was renamed as the Imperial Zoological Society. More open-minded than the Imperial Zoological Agency, the Intergalactic Zoological Society was known for its wondrous publications, which brought the galaxy's zoological diversity to the common being. (WSW, RDR)

Interstellar Collections Limited
this galactic collections agency, which produced and maintained the Red List, was quite active throughout the era of the New Order. Over time, ICL grew into a major company which could repossess belongings, settle disputes, and collect on old debts, all with little or no advance warning. They were the largest of the collection agenecies that grew out of a lack of concern on the part of the Empire and the Corporate Sector Authority for the debts of individuals. (HSR)

Interstitial Shield
this was a form of stationary cloaking shield used to mask the presence of a starship after it had landed on the ground. It used a speciallized light filter to draw information from the surrounding environment, and then projected that information onto the shield itself. Thus, in between the gaps of the shield itself, images were projected that made the starship within the shield seem to disappear. Despite being referred to as a cloaking device, the interstitial shield was only good for stationary objects. (BF5)

Intersystem Library Exchange
a construct of the New Republic, the ILE was set up so that any planetary system could obtain data from another system's databanks. (BTS)

this was another name for a starship's intercom system. (LCF, LCS)

InterTribal Council
this was the name given to the body of leaders of the United Tribes of Kariek, charged with the day-to-day government of the Eickarie and Lakra peoples. The InterTribal Council was formed in the wake of the capture of the Warlord, in an effort to remove the militaristic control that had been given to the United Tribes Command. The goal was to eliminate the historical need for vengeance among the tribes, thereby putting an end to the centuries-old civil war between the Eickarie and Lakra. (FB)

Intervention
this Venator-class Star Destroyer was one of many that were deployed by the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Senator Bail Organa commanded the ship during a survey of the Outer Rim Territories, when he allowed it to be diverted to locate Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, who had been set up by Count Dooku to die at the hands of Durge. Obi-Wan had been searching for Asajj Ventress, despite all the intelligence that pointed to her death on Coruscant. The ship was then further diverted to Boz Pity, after Durge's droid revealed the planet's location. However, Boz Pity was blockaded by more than 100 Separatist warships, leaving the Republic's forces without an easy way to reach the surface. In a daring move, Anakin was allowed to pilot the ship through hyperspace, jumping the ship from well outside the system to a point within the blockade. Using the Force, Anakin got the Intervention behind the Separatist ships, but the gravity of Boz Pity was too much to overcome with reverse thrust. After launching all starfighters and evacuating all personnel to escape pods, Anakin managed to bring the ship to a desparate crash-landing on the surface of Boz Pity. (O)

Intimidator
this was the brand name of the Merr-Sonn Munitions' IR-5 blaster pistol. The fully-automatic Intimidator lacked a strong punch, but could fire off an incredible amount of blasts in a short period of time. It was a bulky weapon which was quite expensive for its features, so it found acceptance only in certain wealthy circles. (ROE, AEG)

Intimidator
this was the brand name of Greff-Timms Industrial's PC2 pulse-wave light cannon. (TOJC)

Intimidator
this Super-class Star Destroyer which was sent to Black-15 from its normal dock in the Core, to make room for a Super-class ship. It was at Black-15 when the Yevetha took control of the shipyards. The Intimidator was spaceworthy, and Jian Paret used it as his command ship, until it was captured by Nil Spaar. It was renamed by the Yevetha as the Pride of Yevetha. During the final battle of the Black Fleet Crisis, Sil Sorannan takes control of the starship from Nil Spaar, stranding the Yevetha in hyperspace while taking the ship out of the Koornacht. (BTS, SOL, TT)

Intimidator
this speeder was actually a modified Maeltorp Cargorunner transport craft, adapted for use as a racing vehicle by the sponsors of the BlastBoat 2000. It was armed with a tritium mining drill, and could attain speeds of 200 kilometers an hour. Its maximum flight ceiling was just one meter. (SWJ4)

this collection agency served the entire Corellian Sector, helping businesses and individual collect payments for old debts. (CCW)

Intractable
this was one of the Imperial cruisers that blockaded the ThonBoka in order to starve the Oswaft, during the early years of the New Order. The commanding officer of the Intractable balked at being a front-line defensive ship when Rokur Gepta ordered it. Gepta immediately stripped the officer, his second-in-command, and their counterparts on the Upright and the Vainglorious of their ranks. Gepta then ordered them all forced out of the airlocks on their vessels, as examples of what would happen to any other officers who dared to disobey his orders. (LCS)

this New Republic Endurance-class fleet carrier was built and assigned to the Fifth Battle Group just prior to the Yevethan Great Purge. It served as the flagship of the fleet, under the command of Etahn A'baht. It led the initial, though unsuccessful, blockade of Doornik-319. (BTS, SOL)

Intrepid
this New Republic Nebulon-B frigate was part of the supply convoy travelling to Liinade III, when it was brought out of hyperspace by the Interdictor cruiser Binder near system M2934738. The attacking ships, under the direction of Prince-Admiral Krennel, pounded the lead ship - the Pride of Selonia - the instant it dropped into realspace, preventing any sort of counterattack. The Pride of Selonia was destroyed in the attack. The Intrepid managed to pour a large amount of laser fire into the Binder before the Reckoning fired on her. The might of the Reckoning's assault broke the Intrepid into two pieces, which spiralled away from each other as the ship died in space. (IR)

Intrepid
this Old Republic Venator-class Star Destroyer was one of the many warships that were activated during the height of the Clone Wars. It was dispatched to the planet Felucia, as part of a plan to capture Shu Mai and the other leaders of the Commerce Guild. (ROF, SWDB)

Intruder
a series of missiles produced by Sienar Fleet Systems for use in TIE Bombers and TIE Defenders. The design of the Intruder series was stolen by ISB agents from the Slayn & Korpil colonies that produced the B-Wing starfighter. Slayn & Korpil designed the warhead to explode into a huge blossom of ion energy. The blast was capable of destroying capital ships by overloading the shield generators with ion energy. (CCG9)

Intruder
this Bakuran Namana-class light cruiser was used by Admiral Hortel Ossilege as his flagship. It was one of four ships, along with the Watchkeeper, Sentinel, and Defender, that were built specifically for the defense of the Bakura System, in the wake of the Battle of Bakura. When the New Republic asked for assistance in their struggle against the Sacorrian Triad, the Bakuran leaders dispatched the four ships to Corellia. During the decisive battle with the fleet of the Sacorrian Triad, the Intruder was rammed by three modified, frigate-sized ramships after being prodded into battle with them. The Intruder sustained heavy damage and casualties, including Ossilege and Gaeriel Captison, who survived long enough to trigger the Intruder's self-destruct mechanism. This caused a chain reaction of explosions in the nearby Triad ships, destroying many and giving the New Republic's forces a chance to defeat them. (AS, SC, CTD, EGD)

Intruder
this Imperial Marauder-class corvette was dispatched to disrupt the Bothan's attempt to join of the Alliance, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)

Invid
this was New Republic pilots' slang for the pirates who worked for Leonia Tavira, and were supported by her Star Destroyer, the Invidious. (IJ)

Invidious
this Imperial Star Destroyer was part of High Admiral Teradoc's fleet, shortly after the death of Emperor Palpatine at Endor. Somehow, it came under the command of Loenia Tavira, and was the mainstay of the fleet guarding her holdings on Eiattu. When the Rogue Squadron pilots defeated her there, she took the Invidious and hid for several years, until the warship reappeared in a supporting role for Tavira's pirate fleet. She would bring the Invidious into a system and pummel the defenses of a starship or settlement, then depart, leaving the pirates to loot and pillage what they could. They paid Tavira half of everything they took. (IJ)

Invincible
an Imperial-I class Star Destroyer used during the early part of Operation Strike Fear, the Invincible was later destroyed when the Alliance stole an improved warhead from the Imperial freighter Gafra. The Alliance team was forced to use the warhead against the Invincible. (XW)

Invincible
this Star Destroyer was one of four ships that formed the core of the fleet under the command of Moff Vanko. (RM)

Invincible
the Star Destroyer used by Zasm Katth and Baddon Fass to go to Nar Shaddaa and kill Vima-Da-Boda and Han Solo. The ship was destroyed when Katth ordered full tractor beam power to lock onto the Millenium Falcon. The Falcon hid behind the spaceport's control tower, and the powerful tractor beam ripped the tower from the station. It impaled the Star Destroyer, knocking out main thrusters and disabling the ship's maneuverability. It then crashed into the surface of Nar Shaddaa, killing all hands. (DE2)

Invincible
this was the flagship of the small, independent war fleet amased by Ranulph Tarkin, during the months leading up to the Stark Hyperspace War. The Invincible was but a small portion of the fleet to survive the navigational computer virus developed by Iaco Stark and unleashed on Tarkin's ships. With just a quarter of her original support fleet, the Invincible was an easy target for the warships of the Stark Commercial Combine. In short order, the Invincible was destroyed. Many officers and crew managed to evacuate before its destruction. (SHW)

Invincible-class Dreadnaught
this capital ship measured 2,011 meters in length, and was first built over 3,000 years before the Galactic Civil War by the Rendili/Vaufthau Shipyards, Limited, corporation. They were designed to resemble the ancient Alsakan warships used in the Alsakan Conflicts, with design points taken from the huge starships of Xim the Despot. The Invincible-class was one of the Old Republic's largest ships, but space combat technology began moving toward smaller platforms. The huge ships were soon discontinued, decommissioned, and sold off. The Corporate Sector Authority was able to obtain a number of them on the open market, since they were cheap, available, and effective. The Invincible-class Dreadnaught was manpower-intensive, though, requiring 23,614 crewers and 114 gunners. It could transport up to 6,000 troops, and was armed with 30 quad-laser cannons, 12 turbolaser cannons, 6 tractor beam projectors, and 6 concussion missile tubes. (HSE, CSA, TF)

Invisec

Invisible and Ineluctable Casino
this was the name used by Drawmas Sma'Da to describe his gambling enterprise, which was based on the skirmishes and battles that were fought during the Galactic Civil War. Sma'Da had the uncanny ability to predict the outcome of battles between the Empire and the Alliance, and to set accurate odds on the outcomes. Many of the galaxy's richest beings would wager on the outcome of any size confrontation, and Sma'Da grew wealthy by taking their bets. However, his wealth and insight soon came to the attention of Emperor Palpatine, who put out a sizabele bounty on Sma'Da's head. With his capture, and with the decisive outcome of the Battle of Endor, Sma'Da's prominence quickly dwindled. (HM)

Invisible Empress
see Tching, Oeana (SWJ14)

Invisible Hand
this needle-shaped Providence-class destroyer was General Griveous' flagship during the last stages of the Clone Wars. The Invisible Hand was originally manufactured by the Quarren engineers of the Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps at the Pammant Docks. Its tapered bow and large outrigger fins gave it the appearance of a classical piece of Coruscant architecture. The ship was originally built for Nute Gunray and the Trade Federation, and was reassigned after General Grievous was given total control of the droid armies of the Separatists. Gunray initially refused to surrender the ship, but Darth Sidious himself demanded that the vessel be turned over to Grievous. As a minor consolation, Gunray was able to have Neimoidian navigators and gunners assigned aboard the Invisible Hand, to provide regular information on Grievous' activities. Grievous nearly killed Gunray over this dispute, and only Sidious' demand that the Trade Federation remain part of the Confederacy of Independent Systems kept him from killing the Viceroy. The ship provided Grievous with a fast, mobile flagship from which to conduct his war against the Old Republic. During the First Battle of Coruscant, Grievous was able to capture and hold Chancellor Palpatine aboard the ship. However, the Invisible Hand was forced to hold its own against an onslaught of fightercraft led by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. In an attempt to save the vessel, Grievous ordered his crew to move the ship slowly into the shelter of surrounding Separatist ships. The trick worked only briefly, as the two Jedi managed to get onboard and rescue Palpatine. The situation suddenly became worse as Republic warships located the Invisible Hand and began to pummel it with laser fire, unaware that Palpatine and the Jedi were still onboard. The ship lost its drive systems and began to tumble toward the surface of Coruscant. Only the incredible flying abilities of Anakin Skywalker prevented a major catastrophe, as he was able to pilot the crumbling wreckage of the Invisible Hand to a controlled crash-landing at an abandoned airstrip in Coruscant's industrial sector. Grievous, unfortunately, had fled the dying ship in an escape vessel, and escaped to Utapau. (OWS, LEV, VD3, X3)

Invisible Island
this was a legendary island of untold riches, a virtual paradise according to Mere legends. Located in the most remote part of the oceans of Maramere, the Invisible Island was guarded by the Haunted Strait. The existence of the Island was a secret which was jealously guarded by the Trade Federation during their occupation of the planet, for it was discovered that the Island was made up almost entirely of pure stygium crystal. Lord Toat and his Neimoidian cronies hoped to use the stygium crystals to develop cloaking devices for Federation warships, but their plans were thwarted by Sol Sixxa and Nym. (CRBN)

Invisible Market
this was the name used to describe the intergalactic black market that operated beneath the jurisdiction of the government. (HSR)

Invisible News Stack
proclaiming to be "everywhere they don't want us to be...," this newsnet sprang up in Brak Sector during the New Order. The INS was founded to provide unbiased reporting on the actions of the Empire, as well as on the government and business of Brak Sector. (FBS)

Invisible Sector
this section of Imperial City, on Coruscant, was something most Imperial inhabitants of the planet would rather forget even existed. The Invisible Sector - often simply called Invisec - was the home of many of the planet's alien laborers, and has been described as "uglier, nastier, and less hospitable than Mos Eisley." The original Invisible Sector boundaries simply encompassed the Alien Protection Zone, but the residents have continually expanded it. (WG)

Invisible Shell
once described by Han Solo as a "sort of business syndicate, in polite terms", the Invisible Shell was an organization that would stop at no ends to get what it wanted. It was originally founded by Lorimar Lebauer, but he was forced to cede control to his underlings when he was imprisoned on Thyferra. Many believed that Lorimar had been implicated because of information supplied to the Thyferrans by Lorimar's own nephew, Ludlo Lebauer, who hoped to take control of the Shell and eliminate a rival. Ludlo, however, was only given minimal control of the Shell's operations. After the Battle of Endor, the Shell worked hard to obtain exclusive salvage rights from the New Republic, a contract that was also desired by Ludlo Lebauer for himself. Solo also discovered that his Squib contacts - Emala, Sligh, and Grees - had been working with the Shell to obtain rare works of art, then selling them to the Empire for credits and information. The Shell then communicated the intelligence to the NRI; the Squibs had also been hiding behind Ludlo Lebauer's image, because the New Republic Intelligence agency believed he was the one supplying artwork to the Imperials. Unfortunately for Grees, he got too greedy and ended up being frozen in carbonite by Ludlo Lebauer. (SWI67)

Invisible Star
this modified Action V transport was owned by Qual'om Soach, and served as his mobile base of operations during the height of the New Order. Armed with a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons, the Invisible Star also operated under the forged names Black Hole and Market Maker. (FBS)

Inwil
this frozen, rocky world was the fifth and outermost planet in the Ralltiir System. It was orbited by three moons. (CCW)

Inx, Jondrell
this young pirate was known as a consummate con artist and huckster who would sell his own mother for ten credits. He secretly pretended to be in love with Cressis Linrec, so that he could eventually kidnap her and collect a huge ransom from her father. He told Governor Linrec that, if the ransom wasn't paid, he would sell Cressis to the Zygerian slavers. He enlisted the help of his friend and former emplloyee, Pallas Quintell, but would have sold him out if the mission demanded it. It was later revealed the Jondrell was a native of Kallistas, who used his position as a pirate to acquire credits and funnel them back to the mining colonies on Kallistas. Inx was eventually cornered by a trio of bounty hunters sent by Prefect Rinn to capture him, but he managed to escape. (GG10)

Inyri
this was one of the most common female names given to human children across the galaxy. (GCG)

Inyri
this was one of the most common female names among the Corellians. (GMR9)

Inysh
this planet was the homeworld of the Abinyshi race. The Empire stripped the world of its deposits of kalonterium, dumping the toxic wastes produced in every conceivable location. The plants were abandoned by the Empire, and Inysh was left a ruined world. (AE)

Io, Dargen
this Alliance Captain served as the sector Chief of Supply for Mortex Sector during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (BI)

Ioa
this New Republic Navy Captain was in command of the Borealis when it served as Leia Organa-Solo's flagship during her travel to the Chorios Systems. Like the rest of the crew on his ship, he was killed by the Death Seed plague unleashed by Seti Ashgad. (POT)

Ioaa
this name was common among Ithorian females. Although such names do not generally have meaning, Ithorians who studied their race's history learned that the name referred to a sweet fruit that was native to Ithor. (GCG)

Ioaa
this sweet fruit once grew wild across the surface of the planet Ithor. (GCG)

Iola
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 Iola referred to a brave wife in Cerean mythology. (GCG)

Iola
this was the name of a brave wife from Cerean mythology. (GCG)

Ioliu Sea
this was the smallest of the three major bodies of water found on the planet Rodia. (SPG)

Iolu
this Korunnai was one of many who served Kar Vastor as a member of the Akk Guards, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When Jedi Master Mace Windu tried to help the Korunnai rid themselves of Balawai control by attacking the city of Pelek Baw, Iolu and the Akk Guards were ordered to oppose any attempt to succeed. When Nick Rostu shot and killed both Prouk and Thaffal, Iolu retaliated with his vibroblades. Even though he had once saved Nick's life, Iolu felt no compassion, and tried to sever Nick's head from his body. Nick managed to avoid the killing blow, and shot him in the arm with a slugthrower. Iolu managed to recover from the blow, but Nick grabbed a blaster as shot Iolu in the head. (SHPT)

Ion
this small, eight-legged rodent was discovered in the engine compartment of the Shadow Chaser by Jacen Solo, while the ship was en route to Kashyyyk. The small creature had chewed up several components of the ship's ion shielding, and this caused the ship to be jerked out of hyperspace upon encountering an ion storm. The ship was damaged, but completed the trip to Kashyyyk and was repaired. Jacen kept Ion and her babies in a small cage, and part of his collection of strange animals. (DK)

Ion Alley
this was the nickname used to describe the ion defense grid which protected the starship approach to Exovar's Emporium, on the planet Neftali. After transmitting the proper identification, ships had to pass through a heavy set of blast doors before entering a long tunnel. The tunnel was equipped with an EXVR-1 ion generation field, giving it the nickname Ion Alley. Any unauthorized ship passing through Ion Alley was hit with a barrage of ion energy, enough to override shields and render a starship inert. (WSV)

Ion Beamer
a paddle-shaped medical instrument used by the Ssi-ruuvi to immobilize their prisoners. These devices were also called ion paddle beamers. These devices affected humans and most humanoids in the same way a DEMP gun affected droids: electromagnetic impulses within the nervous system of the target were disrupted, cutting off the target's control of their body. Like other Ssi-ruuvi technology, these weapons were powered by enteched life-energy, which provided a variable energy source. New Republic technicians who tried to attach standard power packs simply burned out the beamer. The beam which was generated could not be deflected by the blade of a lightsaber, although it did bend around the lightsaber's blade. (TB, TBSB, FH2)

Ion Blaster
this was a form of blaster which fired ion energy, instead of laser bolts. Like ion cannons, ion blasters were effective for disrupting electrical systems. (AA)

Ion Bomb
in the decades leading up to the fall of the Old Republic, ion bombs were considered the most powerful explosives in the galaxy. (DR)

Ion Cannon
any particle cannon which uses a huge turbine to generate a large negative ion pulse. The pulse can be aimed as a concentrated mass at its target. The pulse doesn't physically destroy its target, but the ions contained in the pulse render computers and other delicate systems useless. Ion cannons can be built to almost any size and use, from small starfighter systems to huge, planetary defense weapons. (ESB, SWSB)

Ion Defense Grid
any system which could be used to protect the starship entrance to a facility, the IDG employed several wide-pattern ion cannons to set up a grid of ion energy that could be used to disable a starship which tried to gain unauthorized access. (WSV)

Ion Encumbrance System
this form of ion weapon was used during the Old Republic. Similar in effect to the modern ion cannon, the ion encumbrance system sprayed a target starship with a sweeping barrage of ion energy that disabled its shipboard electrical systems. It acted more like a sensor sweep than a direct blast of ion energy. (STF)

Ion Engine
a compact sublight drive which can generate large amounts of thrust and velocity by expelling charged particles through and exhaust port. (SW)

Ion Exciter
a component of the early hyperdrive systems which helps charge up the particles used to generate thrust. (TOJ)
