Ion Explosives
detonation weapons which employ excited ions to initiate the explosion of certain forms of matter. (ZHR)

Ion Grenade
this explosive grenade was developed some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, for use against battle droids and droid armies. When detonated, the ion grenade ejected a sphere of highly-charged ion energy, which rendered the electronics of a droid useless. (KOTOR2)

Ion Limpet
this small, disk-shaped device was a form of homing beacon. It could be placed on the hull of a starship, and its thin profile helped to prevent it from being detected. (VD)

Ion Paddle Beamer
this was another name for the Ssi-ruuvi ion beamer. (TBSB)

Ion Pulse Bomb
this was a smaller, modified version of an ion pulse weapon, designed to be used in close quarters. It could cause ionization damage to everything within a 200-meter radius. (TSIA)

Ion Pulse Weapon
this modified form of ion cannon was developed for use on starfighters during the last years of the Galactic Civil War. It used ion energy in such a way as to initially cause damage to another starship's shields, allowing a secondary burst of ion energy to disable shipboard systems. (XWA)

Ion Rocket
this was an inexpensive, sublight propulsion system. (MC5)

Ion Sandbox
this saloon, located near the Calamar Intergalactic Spaceport on Esseles, was popular with the many pilots who traveled through the system. Bama Vook hid within the saloon after he stole the Trade Federation's droid starfighters from Trinkatta Starships. (E1A2)

Ion Scrambler
this device was developed by the Alliance to mask their communications signals from Imperial sensors. (MC9)

Ion Shield
this type of planetary shield was used on planets like Bonadan to maintain a fairly pleasant atmosphere close to the group. The ion shield served to eliminate many of the odors and pollution which were common around spaceports and manufacturing facilities, providing groundside beings with somewhat more breathable air. (EOV, GMR8)

Ion Storm
this Strike-class cruiser served as the flagship of Governor Newen Streeg's fleet, which patrolled the Sisar Run during the last years of the New Order. It was commanded by Captain Barse Neoman during this time. (SSR)

this ancient weapon employed a blast of ionized energy to disable a droid, or other electronic equipment. (KOTOR2)

Ion Surcharge Generator
a device which builds up an overload of ionized particles for use in an ion cannon. (ZHR)

Iona Wince
this young Wroonian served as a cabin stewardess aboard the Starlight Cloud during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Only 11 years of age at the time of the Battle of Hoth, Iona stowed away on the luxury liner in hopes of seeing the galaxy. She claimed to have gotten the job because her father knew the captain of the ship, but in reality the captain discovered her in the hold but still allowed her to remain on board. He liked her upbeat attitude about life, and allowed her to stay on as a steward. Iona developed an allegiance to the Alliance during her time aboard the Stalight Cloud, and used her position to ensure that Alliance agents fleeing from capture were safely given passage aboard the ship. She kept her ears open for the presence of bounty hunters and Imperial spies, and relayed important information to the Alliance agents on board. (CRO)

Ion-blast Missile
this form of projectile weapon was developed by the Empire during the height of the New Order. It was designed to penetrate a vehicle and explode, releasing a blast of ions which destroyed the vehicle's electrical and computer systems. (PZZ2, MCI4)

Ione
this planet was located in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy, in the heart of the Ivax Nebula. Ione served as the primary staging location for Figg Excavations' excursions into the Ivax Nebula. (WOA33)

Ion-enabled Sensor Tag
this form of targeting system was used during the last decades of the Old Republic. Starships equipped with this system could fire an ion-shielded tag at their target. The ion shielding served to drain the target's protective shields, while the tag lodged itself onto the hull and provided a guidance mechanism for volleys of nano-missiles. (STF)

Ion-flux stabilizer
this starship component regulated the flow of ion energy througout the ship's systems. (JS)

Ionic Cannon
this was the primary weapon of the first Death Star, according to the Marvel Comics series. (LTA3, MC52)

Ionic Ring
this unique starship was created by Professor Renn Volz, during his tenure at the Maw Installation. It used a specially modulated ionic beam to manipulate a planet's weather patterns. Volz envisioned the ship as a climatizer, capable of altering the destructive forces of nature to make a world livable. He tested the ship on Zerm, and it was a success. However, Volz was unaware of the true nature of the Maw's purpose. He came under Imperial scrutiny, and Captain Bzorn took control of the ship. Bzorn used the ionic ring to destroy planets, turning their weather into stormy, devastating forces. The ring was recaptured by Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca at Kessel, but Volz decided that the ship was too dangerous. He destroyed it himself. (CSWEA, SWDB, RESB)

Ionic Tingler
this was another name for the Aeramaxis PDW-50 personal weapon. (GFT)

Ionite
this mineral was considered quite valuable throughout the galaxy. Its unique characteristic was its ability to carry neither a positive nor a negative charge. Instead, ionite carried an alternate charge that affected all charged particle fields around it. In the presence of a positively-charged element, ionite carried a negative charge that negates the positive charge. The reverse was also true. Thus, in the presence of ionite, any electrical device had its operations voided and became unusable. This was especially true to chronometers and other timing devices. Much of the galaxy's ionite was mined on the planet Bandomeer. (DR, GORW)

Ionization Blaster
this was the term used to describe the cobbled-together weapons used by the Jawas on Tatooine to immobilize droids and machinery. These guns were a crude form of the DEMP gun used by the Imperial forces. (EGW)

Ionization Reactor
a shipboard component which converts solar energy from the surrounding space into useable starship fuel. (SCRE)

Ionstrike, Wonn
this crimelord worked from a base on Cloud City. He was an elderly man who was crippled in an accident and left paralyzed. He moved about in a specially-designed wheelchair, and spent his entire career working to drive Jabba the Hutt out of business on Cloud City. (GG2, GG12)

Ion-X
this ion weapon was developed by the Baragwin race, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor. The Ion-X never went into full production, and the only prototype known to exist was obtained by Suvam Tan. He upgraded several of the weapon's systems, making the blast more powerful. (KOTOR)

Iotra
this planet, the fifth in the Iotran System, is the temperate homeworld of the Iotran race. The Iotran year is slightly longer than the galactic standard - fourteen Iotran years encompass nearly eighteen standard years. (GG12)

Iotran
a humanoid alien species of incredible strength, the Iotrans hail from the planet Iotra. They have three fingers and a strong thumb on each hand, and two foretoes on each foot. At their elbows, shoulders, and hands are sturdy, bone-like spikes that help protect them from attack. They are an extremely military race, letting their actions speak in place of words. Their culture and history are extremely stable, a result of continued military dominance within the government. Many well-known galactic military orders grew out of Iotran military nations; although these Iotran nations have since combined to for the Iotran Police Force, the orders themselves continue to find new members througout the galaxy. Each Iotran citizen must serve in the IPF for six standard years at the age of 14 seasons (about 18 standard years). Iotran technology is crude but reliable, but not up to galactic norms. They have assumed the use of hyperdrives and weapons in order to further their military defenses. (RPG, GG12)

Iotran Antiquities Enforcement
this branch of the Iotran Police Force was missioned with protecting the various archeaological relics of Iotra's past. During the early years of the New Republic, this agency was forced to track down Doctor Follnor Callat on several occasions, as the unscrupulous xenoarchaeologist tried to steal rare and unique Iotran artifacts for his own collection. (GMR9)

Iotran Braceman Council
this elite group of veterans of service to the Iotran Police Force tracks down off-world criminals throughout the galaxy. They didn't care about or observe Imperial jurisdiction during the New Order, and have achieved a 95% capture rate during their history. The IBC also doesn't care about political or governmental regulations, especially when the capture is imminent. This has earned them a great deal of resentment from various planetary governments. (GG12)

Iotran Defense Technologies
this small corporation produced a variety of specialized weapons for use by the Iotran Bracemen. (AIR)

Iotran Expanse
this area of the galaxy contained the Iotran System, and bordered Hutt Space, the Karstaxon Regions, and Sulorine Sector. (SSR)

Iotran Guards
this was the name used to describe the Iotran security force that was permanently hired by the Muuns to guard the various vault-spires and spaceports of the planet Muunilinst. The Iotran Guards were formed more than 1,000 years before the onset of the Clone Wars, and most of its members were the descendants of the original guards. (GORW)

Iotran Police Force
known simply as the IPF, this Iotran military force was created from the various military orders that supported former Iotran nations. When the Iotran nations agreed to unify themselves some 700 years before the Galactic Civil War, the various orders were consilidated into the IPF. They act as law enforcers, national guardsmen, and rescue workers throughout Iotran society. Each Iotran who reaches the age of fourteen seasons (about 18 standard years) must serve a tour of duty in the IPF, during which time they learn basic military training. (GG12)

Teemto Pagalies flew one of these racers. The cockpit of the LongTail measured 5.33 meters in length, while the engines were an immense 10.67 meters long. The LongTail could achieve speeds of 775 kilometers per hour. (IG1)

Ipharian-Da'Lor
this was the name of a race of serpent-like beings, noted for their snake-like lower body. They moved about by slithering on their thick, meter-long tails, while their forebody stood nearly three meters above the ground. They were vaguely humanoid from the torso up, with muscular arms and an elongated face. A ridge of black spines ran from the back of their skull down to their tail, which ended with a retractable spike. The Ipharian-Da'Lor often used masks to cover their faces, thereby hiding their identity. (WSV)

Iphigin
this temperate world was the home planet of the Iphigini race. (SOP)

Iphigini
this race of sentients was native to the planet Iphigin. They were easily recognized by their braided lip-beards, which sat at the bottom of a craggy face. Their skin was quite wrinkled. (SOP)

IPI-1000
this device, produced by MerenData during the height of the Galactic Civil War, was a personal identification and information display unit. Designed to hold up to twelve passports, identification cards, and operating licenses, the IPI-1000 allowed its user to carry a single source of identification, no matter what form of ID was needed. The original documents could be stored in a safe place for later use. (GFT)

Iponta
this Gutretee warrior was the strongest of the tribe which greeted offworlders to Isis. When the Alliance sent a group of operative to Isis to keep the crew of the Wanderer from revealing its location, they had to survive combat with Iponta, in order to prove their trust and honor. (IC)

Ipsee, mipsee, monsee, mope
this Gungan singsong was spoken whenever a Gungan had to choose between several options, but had no way to determine which was the best option. (E1A9)

Ipsus
this box-shape space station was erected in the atmosphere of the planet Genarius by the Naescorom group, as a manufacturing center. It also came to serve as a base from which miners could obtain rare gases and energy from the planet's upper atmosphere. Its shape was unusual, and its hull was covered with chromium-treated alloys to help it shed radioactive energy and deflect the winds of a storm. (LFC)

IPV/4
this was the latest in Seinar Fleet Systems' patrol craft, designed and built in the decade following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. (VOF)

IPV-1
following the success of the IR-3F, Seinar Fleet System produced this System Patrol Craft measuring 150 meters in length. Note that Pirates and Privateers documents the length at just 120 meters. These fast, maneuverable craft were well-armed for intercepting criminals along border regions where Star Destroyers are not present. They lacked hyperdrives, and so they were restricted to patrolling specific areas of space. They have been rated at a top speed of 80 MGLT, and have a crew compliment of 12 - four officers and eight gunners. They had cargo capacity to transport up to 200 metric tons of supplies or equipment, and could accommodate ten additional troops or prisoners. The standard IPV-1 was armed with four Taim & Bak XV7 light turbolasers, a Krupx VL-4a warhead launching system, front- and rear-projecting Novaldex shields (rated at 150 SBD), and a 60-RU titanium alloy hull. (TIE, PP, SOG)

Iqobal
this gas giant was the fourth planet of the Polith System, located in the Inner Rim. It was orbited by fifty-four moons. (PH)

Iqoon
this barren ball of rock was the third and outermost planet in the Roon System. It was orbited by a pair of moons. (WOTC, GORW)

Iquar
this man was a member of the Karazak Slavers Cooperative team sent to capture Janissa Locrin. It was part of Seland' Ir's plans that the entire strike team surrender after successfully recovering Locrin, thereby avoiding bloodshed. Most of the slavers were set free because the studio she worked for paid off the ransom before charges could be brought up. He was eventually caught by New Republic Sector Rangers, and forced to confess the plans. (GG11)

Iquazard
this species of large, boar-like reptile was native to the planet Gelgelar. Small iquazards were the favored prey of reeho birds. These creatures had incredibly thick skin, and it was said that an iquazard could absorb a blaster bolt from near range. (SWJ14)

IR-3F
this was a model of systems patrol craft produced by Sienar Fleet Systems, and was the forerunner of the IPV-1 patrol vessel. At 110 meters in length, and armed with four turret-mounted turbolaser cannons, the IR-3F was capable of taking on capital-sized targets. It was most often used as a blockade ship, with several other similar vessels forming a line. It had to be based in the system it patrolled, however, since the basic design lacked a hyperdrive. The IR-3F required a crew of 3, with 8 gunners and up to 10 troops. It could transport up to 180 metric tons of cargo and had a three-month supply of consumables. Despite the benefits of its impressive power-to-mass ratio, the small crew tended to wear down quickly trying to maintain the ship on long patrols. (FOP, PP)

IR-5
this was the model number of Merr-Sonn's Intimidator blaster pistol. (ROE)

IR5-23734-7N
this subdirectory of the Republic Diplomatic Services Database held information on the key public figures of the planet Naboo. (SON)

this was one of the many names given to male Bothans. In the Bothan language, it meant "happy." (GCG, WOTC)

Irallish
this name was common among the members of the Squalris race. (GORW)

Ir'cara'suhl
this was a common name among the Duinuogwuin who had been encountered in the galaxy. (GORW)

IRD
this small starfighter was introduced by the Corporate Sector Authority during the early years of the New Order. It was a fast craft when flown in outer space, but suffered greatly when flown in a planet's atmosphere. The ship's name was derived from its mission profile: Interception, Reconnaissance, and Defense. It was a combat-dedicated fighter measuring 8.5 meters in length, and wa armed with a pair of twin blaster cannons. It was designed for a single pilot. (HSE, CSA)

IRD-A
this second-generation of the Corporate Sector Authority's Intercept/Reconnaissance/Defense starfighter solved the original design's lack of performance in atmospheric flight. It measured 10 meters in length, and was armed with a twin blaster cannon and a concussion missile tube. Like the original IRD, it was designed for a single pilot. (CSA)

Irdani Performance Group
this conglomerate produced many parts for racing craft, from podracers to starships. They also developed and manufactured complete racers, such as trhe IPG-X1131 LongTail. (IG1)

this Ithorian exiled himself from his homeworld of Ithor in order to monitor the activities of the treacherous Oosea. Ire purchased an asteroid in the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt in order to monitor Oosea's dealings with Imperial Governor Parnell. Ire also became good friends with the Tredways, and assisted Luke Skywalker in saving Dena Tredway after Parnell destroyed 24 Tredway. (JH)

Irenez
this gray-haired woman, like her counterpart Sena Midanyl, was a native Corellian with ties to Garm Bel Iblis. It was Bel Iblis who sponsored her enrollment to the Imperial Academy. Following her graduation, Irenez opted to remain neutral in the war between the Empire and the Alliance. Instead, she formed her own platoon of mercenaries and soldiers. When Bel Iblis put out feelers to retain the services of good soldiers, Irenez immediately made her team available. During the early years of the New Republic, she was placed in charge of securing the secret meetings with Tav Breil'lya that Bel Iblis had arranged on New Cov. It was due to her picket lines that Han Solo was intercepted when he tried to tail Breil'lya, but Sena eventually recognized Han and allowed him a measure of freedom. Irenez' pickets later intercepted Luke Skywalker, who had arrived on New Cov to meet Han. When Imperial forces raided Ilic to obtain drugs and medicines - a cover for the city's clandestine payments to the Empire - Irenez was ordered to help them return to their ships. (DFR, DFRSB)

Irfwix
this was a common, given name among the Vratix race. (UANT)

Irgkul Bush
this unusual plant, native to the planet Ansion, did not have an underground root system. It had adapted to the continual pressure of the winds of the planet's environment by obtaining nutrients directly from the air, and thus was often seen being blown about in the breeze. (APS)

Iri
this planet, located in the Epidimi System, was discovered some 5,000 years before the fall of the Old Republic. Republic scientists discovered that the avian lifeforms living on Iri were genetically similar to those living on nearby Disim. They attempted to breed the unique species, in hopes of creating a new form of life. The experiment was a success, but the resulting species - known as the Tarong - was much more intelligent and eventually overran the two parent species. The original species no longer exist in the Epidimi System. (GG12)

Iriaz
this docile mammal, native to the planet Dantooine, was hunted for its flesh and pelt. (KOTOR)

Irid
this avian creature, native to the planet Ragoon-6, was distinguished by the bright yellow coloration of its wings. (DOH)

this opalescent stone was used in the construction of furniture. (E3N)

Iridik'k-stallu
this alien Senator, noted for her multiple hearts, was among the many who believed that Chancellor Palpatine was overstepping his bounds during the height of the Clone Wars. Bail Organa and Mon Mothma invited her to sign the Petition of the Two Thousand. (E3N)

Iridium
this planet was known for its infamous space pirates. The pirates used special power gems to generate a disruptive aura that allowed them to break through starship shields. Raskar held the last of the usable gems, until Han Solo and Chewbacca wrested it from him. (CSW)

Iridonia
Darth Sidious told Darth Maul that he was a native of this planet, located in the Mid Rim. Sidious explained that he found Maul as a baby and took him in to train as his apprentice. Iridonia was the homeworld of the Zabrak race, of which there were many different races characterized by their facial and cranial horns. The planet Iridonia was an inhospitable world, its surface scoured by 200-kilometer-per-hour storms and acidic seas which threw caustic spray onto the land. What arable land there was for the Zabrak to farm was located within canyons, away from the elements. (JDM, IWE1, ANT)

Iridonian Double-bladed Fighting Pike
this weapon, known in the Zabrak language as the zhaboka, was first developed by scavenging wooden sticks and metal scraps from shipwrecks. Over the centuries, the zhaboka evolved into a well-balanced, two-meter-long staff that was tipped at each end with a tempered durasteel blade. The central half-meter of the staff was wrapped in leather to provide better grip. Its original use was for killing the predators found on Iridonia, although many modern pikes were ceremonial weapons. The entire pike could be unlocked at the grip and stored in a ascabbard for easier transport. (UANT)

Iridonian Zabrak

Irini
this member of the Worker faction, on the planet New Apsolon, was one of the many Workers who were imprisoned by the Absolutes for her part in the industrial sabotage exacted against the Civilized and their businesses. Irini herself worked for a Worker newspaper that supported the peaceful protests agains the Civilized. In the wake of the election of Ewane as planetary leader, Irini and many of her fellow prisoners agreed to work as guides in the Museum of the Absolutes. It was Irini who took Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi on a tour of the Museum, when they arrived on New Apsolon to search for Tahl. The Jedi discovered that Irini was a member of a group led by Lenz which had plotted to assassinate Roan, in retaliation for the murder of Ewane. Irini believed that the Jedi had come to New Apsolon at Roan's behest, to serve as his protection. After Roan was killed, Irini agreed to represent the Workers at a political summit to discuss the filling of his position. She then told Qui-Gon that the Workers had information that pointed to a member of Roan's inner circle as his killer, and all evidence pointed to Balog. She managed to convince Lenz to trust the Jedi, and helped to arrange a meeting with Mota. After the death of Tahl, Irini was trailing Oleg in an effort to ensure his safety. She was unable to keep him from being killed by probe droids, and provided information about his death to Qui-Gon. She later revealed that she stole the list of Absolute supporters from Legislator Pleni, after she had been shot by Balog during his attempt to obtain the list. She told the Jedi that she had tried to obtain the list to avoid further bloodshed, as well as to prevent anyone from finding Lenz's name on the list. Balog, after shooting her, took possession of the list. When she admitted that she had been involved in the deaths of Oleg and Pleni, Irini was arrested and imprisoned. (TTB, DOH, CTV)

Iritsa Civil Guard
this was the police force which patrolled the city of Iritsa, on Chazwa, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (ND)

IrizMark-8
this was Koensayr's version of the Sentinel-class military cruiser, developed during the early years of the New Order. It measured seventy-seven meters in length, and required a crew of six to operate. The primary mission of this ship was in hit-and-fade type operations that required a moderately-armed ship with maneuverability and speed. (WOA34)

Irol
this Imperial Sergeant was from a forested planet, where he learned how to fly a speeder bike. His balance and flying skills made him a valuable, though cocky, member of the Imperial garrison on the forest moon of Endor, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (CCG10)

Irolia
this female Chiss was a Commander in the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Like many Chiss, she used the shortened form of her name when speaking to outsiders. Her full Chiss name was Hess'irolia'nuruodo. She was dispatched to intercept Luke Skywalker's mission to locate Zonama Sekot in the Unknown Regions, when the Jedi and their Imperial escort first crossed into the area. Irolia brought them to Csilla, where they were detained until the Chiss could decide whether to allow them continued passage through the Unknown Regions. When it was decided that the Jedi could spend two days searching the Expeditionary Library, Irolia was reduced to babysitting them. When Wynssa Fel was kidnapped by Chief Navigator Peita Aabe - Irolia's superior officer - she found herself wondering about the correct course of action. Jacen Solo helped crystallize her resolve, and the set out to rescue Wyn. (FH2)

Irolunn
this gas was mined in the Cularin System, and had comparable properties to tibanna gas. (LFC)

Iron Age
a pre-technology epoch in galactic history. (CPL)

this vast building was once the seat of the Tetan government, until it was overtaken by Satal Keto and Aleema as the command center for the Krath. It was located in Cinnagar, and was heavily armored and armed. (DLS)

Iron Duke
this was one of the many Strike-class cruisers that made up the front lines of the Imperial Naval fleet. (TIE)

Iron Fist
a elderly Victory-class Star Destroyer, the Iron Fist was Zsinj's first command during his service to the Empire. It was in this ship that he learned to use asteroids as weapons. He could draw an attacking force into an asteroid belt, then fire on the larger asteroids when the opponent attacked. He knew that the opponent would use the larger asteroids for cover as they sneaked in to attack. Super-heated metals and ores would be blasted into space, and acted like schrapnel to the opponent's fighters and taking them out more effectively than laser fire. It was a tactic Zsinj would try to reuse at the Battle of Selaggis, but which was recognized by Myn Donos and thwarted. It later served as part of Grand Admiral Thrawn's fleet. (DFRSB, IF, SOC)

Iron Fist
Zsinj's flagship Super-class Star Destroyer, the Iron Fist was originally christened the Brawl, but was renamed in honor of his first command, the Victory-class ship also called Iron Fist. It was pursued by Han Solo and the fleet supporting the Mon Remonda during the early years of the New Republic, before Solo resigned his commission. In a series of battles at Kuat, Vahaba, and Selaggis, Solo nearly destroyed the Iron Fist, but Zsinj always proved to be one step ahead. At Selaggis, Solo came the closest to killing Zsinj, but Zsinj used the Second Death to flee with the Iron Fist intact. These events took place just prior to the Hapan delegation to Coruscant and Prince Isolder's proposal of marriage to Leia. It was later destroyed at Dathomir by Solo's fleet. (CPL, SOC, CTD)
