BD-1 Cutter
this SoroSuub vibro-ax was powered by an ultrasonic generator in its shaft. The crescent-shaped blade was slung just below the main shaft. Jabba the Hutt supplied BD-1's to his guards. (CCG7)

BD-17
this was the New Republic ship's registry number of the Bakuran destroyer Defender. (CTD)

BD-27
this is the model number of a Corellian Engineering Corporation barge driver. The BD-27 was the predecessor to the Action-class series of medium freighters, and defined the basic shape of that transport. A command and crew area was set forward of the engine section, connected by a thin conduit. The entire ship can be connected to a cargo module capable of carrying 75,000 metric tons. The BD-27 measured 100 meters in length, and its automated systems required a only a pilot and co-pilot to operate. The automation often broke down, and required extensive maintenance. This ship had minimal shields and no armament. The BD-27, despite the flexibility of the removable cargo pod, was quickly replaced by larger bulk freighters, and was relegated to use in small operations. (SWJ9)

BD-3000
also known as a Bettybot, the BD-3000 was a humanoid droid created to serve as a personal assistant and servant. Resembling a human female in form, the BD-3000 was produced by LeisureMech Enterprises during the last years of the Old Republic, and could be purchased in a variety of colors and finishes. More then twenty-five secondary functions could be added to the BD-3000's basic programming, allowing a unit to serve in such capacities as cook, nanny, or pilot. Because of this flexibility, many BD-3000 were given aftermarket upgrades on the black market, serving as bodyguards or even consorts. (OWS, SWDB)

BD-8
this BD-series droid was owned by Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Affectionately known as Beady, this droid was programmed to vigorously maintain the safety and security of the Solos and their companions. This often led to trouble, as Beady sometimes misinterpreted the actions of others as hostile. When the Solos arrived at Yoggoy in search of their children, some five years after the Yuuzhan Vong were defeated, BD-8 was unable to quell its programming when a group of Yoggoy workers tried to offload supplies from the Millennium Falcon without asking permission. UnuThul took offense to the actions of the Solos and their companions, especially after a Yoggoy was injured by Tarfang. UnuThul set out to destroy the weaponry of the Millennium Falcon to prevent further attacks, and BD-8's combat programming kicked in. It marched down the boarding ramp and prepared to defend the ship. UnuThul, however, was too strong with the Force to be denied, and simply used the Force to destroy BD-8 where it stood. (DN1)

BD-80
this was the New Republic ship's registry number of the Bakuran destroyer Sentinel. (CTD)

B'dard Tone
this Jedi Master was one of many who were pressed into military duty during the Clone Wars. A tall, imposing being (a male Togruta?) distinguished by the facial shield that covered the left side of his face and the cybernetic replacement of his right hand, Master Tone was one of a handful of Jedi who wanted to destroy General Grievous before he could kill any more innocent beings. The injuries to Tone's face and arm came from an encounter with Grievous on Nadiem, and his first Padawan was killed by the General in the fighting. Thus, when he learned that Flynn Kybo had survived an encounter with the Separatist military leader, he sought out the young Padawan to discuss the young man's plans for going after Grievous. (SWGG)

B'das

Beal, Cjaalysce
this daughter of Leniel Beal, this regal Lady was deeply in love with Iann Doaba before he first took the Long Walk. When she learned of his disappearance, Cjaalysce went into the desert to search for him. Her body was found a few weeks later, wrapped around Iann's clothing and his lightsaber. Her body was burned in a ceremonial funeral, and her ashes scattered in the desert. Rumor had it that, beneath her dessicated corpse was the indelible shadow of Iann's body. The shadow, essentially Iann's remaining spirit, followed a portrait of Cjallysce around as long as the portrait survived. Benoni Ulte eventually came to possess the portait, and claimed to have seen Iann's shadow many times. (BSS)

Beal, Leniel
this Corellian Commander was generally considered the man responsible for the colonization of Socorro, some 3,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (BSS)

Beam Cannon
developed by the Old Republic and used briefly as a weapon aboard the IFT-T hover tank, the beam cannon was a laser weapon that produced an exceptionally strong beam of energy. It wasn't the strength of this beam that made it unusual, however. The beam produced by the beam cannon could pass through multiple targets before dissipating, which allowed the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to strafe the weapon across an advancing force, killing or destroying more than just the front line of attackers. (LAWS)

Beam Drill
a mining tool which used directed, plasma energy to cut through rock and other materials. The intensity of the plasma beam could be varied, depending on the material to be cut through. These devices came in a variety of shapes and sizes, from portable units to heavy-duty units mounted on repulsor-platforms. (HSL, EGW)

Beam Gem
this special stone is used in optical systems to focus or disperse a beam of light. Beam gems are used extensively in starship navigational computers to direct the flow of data over fiber optic channels. These gems come in a variety of sizes, designated by number. Small numbers represent small gems. (CFG)

Beamis, Keth
this man was a talent scout working in the Six Local Systems during the height of the New Order. He was also a recruiting agent and information broker working for the Alliance's Intelligence division on Beltrix III. Easily distinguished by his aristocratic good looks, Beamis wore drooping mustaches and blond hair drawn up on a thick ponytail. As part of his cover, Beamis worked for the Holstrum Talent Agency on Beltrix. During his attempt to meet with Ryley Ancum and collect information about an Imperial shipment of heavy metals, Beamis' cover was broken and he was captured. Beamis and Ancum spent the night in a jail, but only Ancum walked out free afterward. Beamis was killed during the interrogation, although Imperial records indicated that the took his own life by consuming an affide crystal. (GMR6)

Bear
this Jedi Master was one of the handful who remained at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the height of the Clone Wars, teaching the youngest generation of students in a variety of subjects. Master Bear's primary area of expertise was rock-climbing and the usefulness of ropes and knots. Many young students wondered about the need for a class like Climbing and Ropework, until they found themselves on a remote planet without an easy way to scale a cliff wall. (YDR)

Bear Clan
this was the name given to a group of youthful Jedi trainees, learning about the Force in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. At that time, the Bear Clan was being taught by Master Yoda himself. Like other such groups, the Bear Clan was made up of children of varying species between the ages of four and eight standard years. They trained in these groups until they were thirteen years old, at which time they were either chosen by a Jedi Master as a Padawan learner or given other duties outside the Jedi Order. When Master Yoda left Coruscant to command the clone troopers at the Battle of Geonosis, the Bear Clan's training was given over to Depa Billaba. (VD2, SWDB)

Bear Spider
this 1.5-meter long creature resembles a long, thin bear. It lacks hair, but is covered with hair-like chitin, and a web-spinning orifice is similar to a spider's. They are nocturnal predators, weaving their webs and then sleeping while other creatures are awake. When the bear spider reawakens, it kills and consumes any creatures caught in its web. (TSK)

Bearded Jax
this large herbivore was native to the moon of Rori, where it traveled in packs. These beasts were known for their stealthy movement, even when grouped in large numbers. (GQRG)

Bearer, The
according to the ancient Sharu legends, the Bearer would return to the Rafa System in the company of the Emissary when it was time for the Mindharp to be activated. The Bearer would return with the Key of the Overpeople when the ancient danger had passed and it was time for the Sharu to emerge from hiding. The Bearer was described in the legends as a dark-skinned space pilot who seemed to have a great deal of luck and skill. Any being found to be falsely portraying the Bearer would be staked to the ground in the deepest part of Rafa V's deserts, where the Toka believed that the spirits of the ancient Sharu would deal with the individual as they saw fit. When Rokur Gepta heard this, he sent Osuno Whett to the Oseon System to look for a pilot who fit this description. Whett chose Lando Calrissian as his first candidate, and Lando eventually fulfilled the purpose of the Bearer, releasing the Mindharp for use. (LCM)

Bearing Lifter
this Gallofree Yards medium transport saw extensive duty for the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. (SWSB)

Bearsh
this being claimed to be the First Steward within the Geroon Remnant, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Bearsh was part of a group which mit up with the Chiss expedition that was searching for the remains of the Outbound Flight Project near Crustai. He arrived at Crustai to tell the Chiss - as well as Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker - that the Geroon had come to honor the Jedi Knights who once freed the Geroon from slavery at the hands of the Vagaari. Bearsh was delighted when Aristocra Formbi agreed to provide the Geroon with star charts and other astronomical data, to give the Geroon a chance to locate a new world on which to settle. When the Chiss records failed to produce a suitable world, Bearsh asked Luke Skywalker to petition the New Republic for assistance. Later, when Outbound Flight was discovered on a planetoid in the Redoubt, Bearsh and three of his Gerron attendants were part of the team to make first contact. Only Estosh was left behind, ostensibly due to an injury. It was while aboard the remains of the ship that Mara Jade Skywalker realized Bearsh's earlier transmissions were recorded, and that his explanation of why the Geroons were on the mission was probably a lie. Mara never got a chance to tell the others, because Bearsh and his fellow Geroons set their own plans in motion. Releasing their wolvkils during a meeting with the Managing Council, Bearsh and his comrades quickly killed the Chiss warriors in their group, then forced Uliar, Dean Jinzler, Aristocra Formbi, and their people into a corner. Bearsh explained that they were all to be killed, with only the method to be determined. It was then that Uliar recognized that Bearsh and his companions were, in actuality, Vagaari. Bearsh, a General among the Vagaari, was acting on orders from Supreme Commander Estosh during the mission. The Vagaari had hidden some 300 soldiers aboard their ship, all in suspended animation so that their lifesigns were undetectable by sensors. When they reached the ships of Outbound Flight, they soldiers were reanimated and sent into battle. Bearsh himself tried to eliminate Luke and Mara, but their skills with the Force were more than Bearsh anticipated. As his pirates died in combat around him, Bearsh fled deeper into the ship, and eventually reached the D-Four Dreadnaught just before Estosh and his forces stole the ship. Unfortunately, Bearsh was leading the defense force aboard the Dreadnaught when Luke and Mara intercepted it on the way to the Brask Oto Command Station. Bearsh was shot and killed in the firefight. (SQ)

Beastlord's Hunt
this coming-of-age ritual was performed by the young men and women of the A'Mar, and was held whenever the time of The Vigil was near.

Beastwarden's Shield
this was one of the five traditional Geonosian weapons that made up the petranaki array. The shield was made from a bronze disk that would normally have been considered a defensive tool, but a series of sharp spikes along its outer edge made it a formidable weapon as well. Many Geonosians flung the beastwarden's shield with a spinning motion, an action which often led to severe lacerations to their opponent. (GORW)

Beater
this huge Yuuzhan Vong bio-creation was developed to batter down the buildings, warehouses, and protective bunkers created by the New Republic. A Beater was followed by a Biter, which literally consumed the rubble and turned it into a waste product that could be consumed by other creatures and turned into energy. The Beater resembled a huge, segmented snake. Each segment was protected by pale, armor-like skin. The Beater flailed its body about to cause the majority of destruction, but could also use its tiny front legs to cuase minor damage. (BP)

developed by Lovolan, this stationary automaton was built to cater to all the needs of a woman's beauty routine. A built-in chair allowed a woman to relax in comfort, while the Beauty Artist applied skin cleansers, emollients, wraps, muds, and other chemicals to the body. The Beauty Artist monitored its subject's condition, and ensured that each ingredient was used for the proper time. These automata were often in the possession of the incredibly wealthy, although a few found their way into private spas. Many Beauty Artists were equipped with secondary attachments, such as massage hoods, manicure gloves, and beverage dispensers. (DN2)

Beauty of Yevetha
one of the many Imperial starships captured by the Yevetha and converted for their own use, this corvette was destroyed during the New Republic's attempt to blockade the Koornacht Cluster. Rone Taggar sacrificed himself and his X-wing, after being captured by the Beauty of Yevetha's tractor beams. He set the starfighter's self-destruct sequence to explode as the ship was drawn into a hangar bay. All hands were lost in the resulting explosion. (SOL)

Bebo, Kevreb
this crazy old man wandered the streets of D'vouran's primary city, rambling on about people disappearing at the hands of invisible monsters. The one-time Captain of the Misanthrope, he was the only survivor and was blamed for the ship's crash onto D'vouran. This seemed to snap his mind, although he knew that there was something wrong with the planet. He found the underground laboratory where Borborygmus Gog had kept his work hidden, and Bebo managed to acquire a small pendant which was actually a tiny shield generator. This kept him immune from the hunger of the planet. He found a sympathetic ear in the form of Tash Arranda, and he gave her the pendant shortly before he was killed by one of Smada's Gank killers. (GOF1)

becca
this Shyriiwook word was used as the suffix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "blade" or "defender". It could be attached to a prefix by itself, or combined with other suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)

(JQ8)

Beckar

Beck-tori
this immense, aquatic parasite evolved on the planet Nam Priax, but has been spread to several other worlds over the history of the galaxy. Resembling a extremely large, elongated leech, a beck-tori was distinguished by its huge mouth. The mouth was surrounded by a mass of thick spines, which were used to grasp prey and begin to grind it up before passing into the throat. Like most parasites, the beck-tori latches onto a host, using its mouth spines to grasp and tear at the host's flesh. Once buried inside the host, the beck-tori begins to deposit its larvae, which grow by consuming the host from the inside out. While an adult beck-tori can exist out of the water, this is not their most unusual trait. All beck-tori had a strong connection to the Force, and could actually use it to heal themselves. The Old Republic tried to ensure that the beck-tori never made it off Nam Priax, but several infestations ddid occur on other planets. Most notably, Mon Calamari suffered an outbreak of beck-tori, which took more than fifty years to finally eradicate. (PJSB)

Becoming One with the Force
an ancient Jedi text written by the Master Trayos Toreggen. (TOJC)

BedaGorog
according to a story told by UnuThul and Alema Rar, this was the name taken by Beda Ies after she became a Joiner and took control of the Gorog hive of the Colony. According to their story, it was BedaGorog and her daughter, Eremay Ies, whose emotions led to the formation of the Dark Nest. This stood in direct contradiction to the evidence discovered by Luke Skywalker on Kr, where he discovered Welk and Lomi Plo in control of the Gorog. Alema Rar later explained to Master Skywalker that BedaGorog had become the Night Herald of the Gorog, and that she was a Force-sensitive individual who managed to control the Gorog and twist them into the Dark Nest. Alema then claimed that it was BedaGorog, and not Welk, whom Luke killed on Kr during the Qoribu Crisis. This story contradicted what Luke believed to be true, which was its intent, for the Gorog had hoped to drive a wedge of distrust between Luke and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker. (DN2)

Bedamyr
this New Republic General was part of the braintrust which formed the defense plans for maintaining control of Coruscant during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (SBS)

Bedara
this barren, rocky planet was the second world in the Caridan system. (PH)

Beed
this was the name of one of the two heads of the Troig Fodesinbeed, which served Jabba the Hutt as a podracing announcer, during the last years of the Old Republic. Beed, along with his companion Fode, called the Boonta Eve race which was won by nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker. Beed spoke primarily Huttese, in deference to his master, Jabba. This served to compliment Fode, who spoke the universal language of Basic. Beed was distinguished from Fode by its green skin coloration. Beed's voice was provided by Scott Capurro for Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, IG1, SWDB)

Beeda
this Hutt crimelord ran his organization from a floating casino which traveled the galaxy during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (WOA35)

Beeda Basin
this depression in the desert of Tatooine was located between Mos Espa and Arch Canyon.

(TG)

Beedo
a Rodian relative of Greedo's who went to work for Jabba the Hutt following Greedo's death. He was a notorious syncophant, and was afraid of Jabba's wrath should he make a mistake. (ROTJ, CCG7)

Beedo's Wild Ride
this was one of several pro-circuit podraces run on the planet Ando Prime, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (RAC)

Beekly Grimlok
this Rodian considered himself one of the best "technological assassins" of the New Order. He never referred to himself as a saboteur. A former employee of Kuat Drive yards, Grimlok became disgruntled with the pro-human stance of KDY and its primary customer, the Empire. He was fired shortly after the Battle of Hoth, and stole the plans to the orbital facilities and many starship design, which he later used to exact his own form of revenge. He blew up starship drive systems, weapons systems, and space stations as a way to lash out at his former employers. (CCW)

Beeli, Venslas
this noted pirate was one of the most feared pirates of the New Order. Little was known of his background, but except that he first appeared as an out-of-work spacer in the Outer Rim Territories. After gaining employment on a pirate ship, Beeli found his own calling: seizing other ships. He was famous for his headlong rushes into a captured ship, blasters blazing as he quickly secured it for his group. When the pirate group broke up, Beeli joined forces with several other pirates and formed the Solar Terrors. They were hunted down by the Empire and Beeli quickly surrendered. He was approached by Vocis Kenit and offered a deal: his life in return for service to the Empire. Beeli agreed to help Kenit by pretending to be a privateer team hoping to join the Alliance. In this way, Kenit hoped the Solar Terrors would hunt down the Far Orbit. To insure Beeli's cooperation, Kenit infected the Solar Terrors with Vira606, and rationed out the serum as the pirates performed their roles. (FOP)

Beels Lebeleb
this was the name of a noted member of Nimbanese society. (UANT)

Beelyard
once known as The Holy Terror duing the time he spent fighting for the Alliance, Beelyard served under Cody Sunn-Childe during the early days of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. When Sunn-Childe fled the known galaxy, Beelyard went with him. Beelyard, distinguished by his immense body and thin, needle-like fingers, became one of Sunn-Childe's strongest supporters. When Imperial Captain Plikk and her small fleet tried to destroy the floating city Sunn-Childe had created, Beelyard and many others supported Sunn-Childe's plan to fight violence without violence. Rather than destroying the Imperial fleet to save their own lives, Beelyard and the others agreed to sacrifice their own lives to strand the Imperial in between dimensions. Sunn-Childe allowed Plikk's ships to fire on and destroy the city, killing all its inhabitants. While Beelyard was killed, the Imperials were left to ponder their own fate, trapped in a location from which they could never escape. (MC46)

Beelyath
this Mon Calamari male served as a pilot in the Twin Suns Squadron, serving the New Republic in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. He was a former shuttle pilot who had experience in the rescue and recovery of pilots who were forced to ejected from their starships during battle, and was part of the team which rescued the refugees ejected into orbit around Borleias by the Yuuzan Vong. (EL2)

Beemon
during the era of the Great Sith War, Beemon produced a number of cybernetic implants that provided control of a being's reactions to stress and injury. By essentially rerouting the nervous system's impulses from these stimuli, the implants allowed a user to withstand greater levels of exertion and physical punishment. (KOTOR)

Been
this was one of the most common Gungan surnames, taking from the father's side of the family. These surnames were not dropped, even after marriage. To the Gungans, it meant "learned scholar". (GCG)

Been L'toth
this Dornean was the son of Kiles L'toth, and eventually took his father place at the head of the Astrographic Survey Institute when Kiles assumed command of the Fifth Fleet. Been and his teams were charged with discovering the exact origins of the Yuuzhan Vong, and felt that they had to be extra-galactic in origin. L'toth rejected the theory that the Vong had evolved in the Tingel Arm, citing the area's proximity to the Corporate Sector and the Imperial Remnant, and pointing out that an advanced civilization so close to those densely-populated areas would have been discovered years ago. (HT)

Beeska
this was the Huttese word for the number eleven (11). Note, however, that the Huttese counting system was based on a base-eight system. So, beeska indicated the number nine (9) in the Basic language. (GMR5)

Beetle Moth
an insect native to Yavin 4. (DK)

Beetul
this insect was native to the planet Kubindi, and was known for its ability to chew through metals. The large head of a beetul was dominated by three horns. Beetuls seemed to prefer softer metals like gold, although it was unknown if they liked the taste or the shininess. Some beetuls could grow as large as a starfighter. (MIS6)

Beezer
this Alliance Corporal was chosen as a member of Han Solo's ground team that assaulted the shield generator of the second Death Star on Endor's Forest Moon. A slicer by trade, she was trained as a scout by Brooks Carlson. Beezer specialized in the use of communications and sensors, and was uncomfortable with General Solo's unorthodox techniques. (MTS, CCG10)

Before-Time

Begeren
the Alliance won an early battle against the Empire on this planet. (GG12)

Beggar's Canyon
a great place to fly a skyhopper on Tatooine, Luke Skywalker refined his piloting skills there during the height of the New Order. Located in the Jundland Wastes between the edge of the Northern Dune Sea and Ebe Crater Valley, Beggar's Canyon was named for the hermits who lived there, before they were driven off by Jabba the Hutt. Situated near Ben's Mesa, the canyon was formed from a series of smaller, interconnected canyons which criss-cross the desert, including the Main Avenue, Dead Man's Turn, and the Eye of the Needle. All of these twisting and turning canyons were once the riverbeds of three great rivers that flowed across Tatooine's surface more than 2,000,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. Before Luke Skywalker and his friends used the canyon, it was part of the Mos Espa podracing course. The Canyon later served as a section of the noted Mos Espa Circuit, a swoop racing event held annually during the height of the New Order. (SW, SE, IWE1, SOT, IWST, SWGAL)

Beggar's Solace
this Rendili-Surron Starlight tramp freighter had been impounded by the Empire when the pilot known as Jin-Jin happened upon it. When the hyperdrive motivator started up suddenly, Jin-Jin was taken on a wild ride through hyperspace. The ship was damaged during Jin-Jin's escape, but he managed to restore the ship to operational status, and later used it as his primary smuggling vessel.

Beheboth
this star was the central body in the Beheboth System, located in the Outer Rim Territories. (PH)

Beheboth
a backwater world with a limited water supply, Beheboth was located off the Hydian Way between Arbra and Golrath. The fourth planet in the Beheboth System, Beheboth was the homeworld of the Tirrith race, and was orbited by three moons. It was originally discovered and settled by Bothan colonists. Over the centuries, the Bothans were eventually outnumbered by human colonists. These colonists were moisture farmers who managed to eke out an existence in peace, and had little to do with the rest of the galaxy. The planet's landmass was covered in dusty, alkaline deserts, and the heat created intense sandstorms that carried salt and alkali into the air. These airborne chemicals, coupled with the planet's small population, led to a number of minor mutations among the colonists. Luke Skywalker hoped to throw off Imperial pursuit by landing on Beheboth, and fell into the struggle between the natives of Beheboth and the brigands who were stealing the water and reselling it at a huge profit. When Longspar was defeated by Luke Skywalker in combat, Darial Anglethorn was able to destroy the water-holding tanks, restoring Beheboth's trapped water supply. Additionally, the native Tirrith seeded the atmosphere with their unusual abilities, bringing rains to the desert for the first time in centuries. In a few short years, the mountainous regions of the planet began turning green, as hardy plantlife took hold in the meager soil. (MC66, PH)

Behemoth From Below
this mystical creature was believed live beneath the mountains of Aduba-3. A large saurian, the Behemoth was actually a creation of the Dark Jedi Seviss Vaa, who had planned to use it as the basis for a great Sith Army. The creature was originally a native lizard, which had been been mutated by Vaa to become enraged when it was in the presence of a Jedi lightsaber. Vaa was forced to put the Behemoth into suspended animation when war broke out with the Old Republic, and his death at the Battle of Ruusan left the Behemoth hidden below Aduba-3's surface for centuries. It was accidentally set free by a villager form Onacra known only as the Old One, and local legends claimed that the Behemoth was actually the protector of Onacra. Just after the Battle of Yavin, the Behemoth was called forth by Merri Shen's grandfather, in an attempt to oust Serji-X Arrogantus from power. The Behemoth was unusual in that it could fire a blast of coherent light from the crown of its skull, just like a huge blaster. When he failed to control the beast, it began ravaging the countryside. Don-Wan Kihotay, along with Hedji and Han Solo, eventually learned that it could only be destroyed by a blast of pure energy. They used Kihotay's lightsaber as a conductor for the Behemoth's energy rays, focusing them on the creature itself and killing it. (MC9, MC10, GMR4)
