Kelna Toodo
this Duros was once trained to be a pilot, but he turned to a life of gambling and smuggling in order to make ends meet. Several years after the Battle of Naboo, Toodo found himself in debt to Beeda the Hutt, after losing a huge sum of credits at the Hutt's floating casino. He managed to escape Beeda for a while in his own ship, the Hot Streak, and won another starship, the aging Radiant Splendor, in a game of dice. He hoped to sell it for scrap, but discovered a Corellian sand panther caged in the hold. He knew that the creature was dangerous, and that it was illegal to posess once, so Kelna once again found himself in trouble. When Beeda ordered Kelna to take care of a group of meddlers, Kelna figured that he could con them into winning the Radiant Splendor, then lock them inside with the sand panther. Once the beast had killed them, Kelna would then kill the beast "in self-defense" and return to Beeda with the bodies, hoping to clear his debt with the Hutt. However, the meddlers turned out to be quite resourceful, managing to get the sand panther back into its cage before confronting Kelna. He begged for his life, and was ultimately jettisoned in an escape pod and left to fend for himself. (WOA35)

a good-looking young Corellian known as the "Mad Vornskr," Lex was a member of the Red Moons. Prior to his service under Andrephan Stormcaller, Kempo claimed to have been a member of an elite stormtrooper unit and several mercenary groups. In fact, Lex had been conscripted in the Imperial military after a drinking and bragging session in a Corellian bar left him too hungover to remember how he had gotten there. He proved himself tougher, faster, and better than his fellow soldiers, but this also earned him their hatred. Lex was assigned to the 676th Light Support Scouts to keep him out of the way, and took the first chance he could find to sneak away and join the world of freelance soldiers. He kept and wore a modified suit of scout trooper armor, which had been dulled and therma-painted to match the surroundings in which he worked. Kempo managed to escape from firefights that no being could have survived, and an acquaintence once told him he was as "mad as a vornskr." He liked the description, and kept the nickname "Mad Vornskr." Sometime later, he joined the Alliance as a pathfinder and scout, and worked closely with the Red Alpha unit. He was responsible for protecting Gunder Vren during the Alliance's attempt to recover the Shard of Alderaan program from Begas Tok. When Andrephan Stormcaller broke away from the New Republic, Kempo followed him to join the Red Moons. He was part of the assault team that attacked the Karazak Slavers Guild on Gabredor III. Kempo was responsible for driving a repulsorsled laden with explosives into the primary entrance to the slavers' compound, killing himself in the resulting infreno. However, Kempo "went out with a blaze of glory," having set up the explosions to burn a huge, crescent shape in the compound, marking the destruction as casued by the Red Moons. (SWJ8, TFE, LAA)

Ken
a small child discovered by an unknown Jedi Knight, Ken was raised by the DJ-88 caretaker droid in the Lost Coty of the Jedi. His origins have been kept a secret, but he has fairly good control of the Force. As long as he can remember, he has worn a birthstone on a silver chain, although its origins are unknown to him as well. The stone is a hemispherical piece of silver crystal. He is restricted to living within the limits of the Lost City until he is old enough and experienced enough to survive by himself. Kadann foresaw that Ken would be able to bring Trioculus down, which was a prophecy fulfilled when Ken learned about Trioculus by secretly reading DJ-88's files on the Slavelord. He was 12 years old when Luke Skywalker took him out of the Lost City and trained him. His name, Ken, is taken from his mother's name, for Ken is the child of the Jedi woman Kendalina. He is sought later by Kadann, who believes he can obtain the location of the Lost City of the Jedi from Ken. Kadann, in an effort to make Ken give him the location of the green marble entrance, reveals a stone which fits perfectly with Ken's birthsone. Once inside the City, Kadann and DJ-88 reveal that Ken is the child of Kendalina and Triclops. Kendalina wanted Ken hidden from Palpatine, who was in fact Ken's grandfather, so she had someone hide him in the Lost City City of the Jedi. (LCJ, ZHR, PDS)

this female Iskalonian was Mone's wife. Shortly after Mone left with Lando Calrissian on a mission to Gamandar, Kendle was attacked while inside the city of Pavillion, and her water tank was smashed. She would have died of suffocation had not Luke Skywalker located her and returned her to the water in time. Unfortunately, it was shortly afterward that Pavillion was destroyed by a tidal wave triggered by an Imperial missile. When Kendle was confronted by Kiro, however, she fled into the ocean. Kiro revealed to Luke and Leia Organa that it had been Kendle who alerted Imperial Admiral Tower to their presence on Iskalon, and that it had been he who tried to kill her earlier. Kendle returned to the surviving Iskalonians, and claimed rulership of Iskalon by her marriage to Mone. Since Primor was dead, and Mone was on Gamandar, she decreed that she was the rightful leader of the Iskalonians. Her motiviations for betraying Luke and Leia were simple: to save her husband and father-in-law from the Imperials on Gamandar. She tried to fight back against the Alliance agents, but a chiaki attacked their base and killed Kendle. (MC74, MC75, MC76)

Kenit was a native of Hallu Sector, and formerly served on the Semqi Pefis and at Thomquizarr Naval Base. He proved himself to be to powerful and too well-connected to remain in any one position for very long, and was named Captain of the Far Orbit just twelve years after joining the Imperial Academy on Lianna. He spent much of his time on the Far Orbit hunting down pirates, often wiping out entire fleets when a simple victory would have sufficed. Kenit was not well-respected by his crew, being more of a bully and a dictator than a captain and mentor. The mutineers took control of the frigate and blasted Kenit and his officers into space in an escape pod. After being recovered, Kenit was visited by Sate Pestage, who delivered the message that he was to be executed for failing to avoid the mutiny.His only chance for redemtpion was to bring in the Far Orbit and her crew. Kenit vowed to bring Vedij and his crew to justice, but failed in several attempts.

Kenobi Offensive
a series of military maneuvers employed by Obi-Wan Kenobi, when he was a general with the Old Republic. The Offensive revolved around the use of a large number of smaller ships, which executing small attacks on the enemy fleet in an effort to draw a portion of the fleet out of formation. Once out of formation, the enemy ships could be destroyed by a reserve offensive task force, which could then rush behind enemy lines through the hole created in the main formation. In theory, the enemy's ships would be unable to fire on attacking ships as they passed through the line, because any stray fire would strike their own ships. Over time, Alliance military leaders simplified the strategy, simply placing ships where the enemy wouldn't expect them to be, and then attacking the main enemy force from within. (TB, TBSB)

Kenobi, Obi-Wan (Ben)
Obi-Wan was taken from his family at a very early age, once his affinity with the Force was evident. Note that the novelization of Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi claims Obi-Wan was the first son of a moderately wealthy family, and he was a fast learner. He sailed through his education at the Academy, and was praised by his family as well as his acquaintances in the Old Republic. His ability to control the Force was also evident, and he was recruited into the ranks of the Jedi Knights. As a young Jedi, Obi-Wan was trained by Yoda, and quickly learned the value of patience and hard work in understanding the Force. Once Yoda was elected the Jedi Council of twelve Masters, Obi-Wan's training was continued by Qui-Gon Jinn. They were at odds with each other quite often, as Qui-Gon was headstrong while Obi-Wan was more practical. However, their opposing personalities blended them into an effective duo. Some twelve years before the battle of Naboo, Obi-Wan actually renounced his Jedi brethren while trying to help Cerasi and the Young. After helping to thwart Xanatos' plans to destroy the Jedi Temple, Obi-Wan once again accepted as Qui-Gon's padawan. Then, during a mission to Cirrus to protect Talesan Fry, Obi-Wan suddenly found himself falling in love with another Padawan, Siri Tachi. They had trained in the Jedi Temple together as long as either could remember, and their love forced them to choose between each other and the Jedi Order. Ultimately, both agreed to bury their feelings and never think of each other in anything other than a professional light. Several years later, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon were dispatched to Naboo during the Trade Federation's blockade of the planet, and the situation brought their differences to a head. When Qui-Gon discovered the young Anakin Skywalker, he told the Jedi Council that he no longer needed to train Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan took it as a personal affront, and despite the thrill of actually becoming a Jedi Knight and progressing to Master, he resented Qui-Gon's impertinence. Their differences were quickly resolved as the Battle of Naboo came to a head, and they battled the Sith Lord Darth Maul in the depths of the palace in Theed. When Qui-Gon was killed, Obi-Wan was forced to watch from behind a laser barrier. As soon as the barrier dropped, Obi-Wan attacked, pressing the battle until he was caught off-guard. Darth Maul forced him into a power shaft and nearly killed Obi-Wan, but the Jedi managed to recover Qui-Gon's lightsaber and eliminated Maul. Shortly thereafter, Obi-Wan was given the title of Jedi Knight. At the same time, against Yoda's judgement, Obi-Wan was also named Anakin's Master. Together, they spent much of their time engaged in the search for Granta Omega, an underworld figure with a grudge against the Jedi Knights. Over time, Obi-Wan's relationship with Anakin became strained, as the young Padawan progressed rapidly and required a stern hand to keep him under control. After the death of Yaddle, Obi-Wan's confidence in Anakin began to waver, and for a short time he even blamed Anakin for Yaddle's death. Their internal struggle reached a head just before the Battle of Geonosis, when Anakin's love for Padme' Amidala caused him to overstep his bounds regularly. While Anakin was assigned to guard Padme', Obi-Wan traveled to Kamino to investigate its connection to the death of Zam Wesell. On Kamino, Obi-Wan discovered Jango Fett, as well as an immense army of clone troopers that had been apparently produced at the request of Jedi Master Syfo-Dyas. His pursuit of Jango led him to Geonosis, where he learned of the Separatists' plans to engage the Old Republic in battle. Like many other Jedi Knights and Masters, Obi-Wan was promoted to General in the Army of the Republic, and given command of a squad of clone troopers. He gained acclaim during the Clone Wars, fighting along side Anakin Skywalker and Bail Organa. He was captured by Asajj Ventress during the Battle of Jabiim and tortured on Rattatak, along with an ARC Trooper known as Alpha. After being tortured by all manner of Sith techniques, Obi-Wan was able to escape and return to Coruscant. He took a position on the Jedi Council, and was instrumental in the formulation of battle plans and tactics. Following the First Battle of Coruscant and the end of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan tried to refocus Anakin's dedication in the ways of the Force, but could not control his young student's need for more control and power. Anakin began to see plots and schemes against him, many of which were either created by or reinforced by Chancellor Palpatine. After Anakin became a pupil of Palpatine, Obi-Wan was powerless to stop his descent to the Dark Side. Obi-Wan was ordered by the Jedi Council to track down Anakin and bring him to justice, and went to talk to Padme' about him. It was then that Obi-Wan discovered their marriage and her pregnancy. He then waited for Padme' to leave, and stowed away aboard her ship, as Padme' was on her way to Mustafar to try and save Anakin. On the lava-covered planet, Obi-Wan tried everything he could to reason with Anakin and return him to the Light Side, but to no avail. Following a particularly heated argument in which Anakin nearly choked Padme' to death, Obi-Wan found himself drawing his lightsaber and dueling ferociously with his former student. Anakin faltered only briefly, and Obi-Wan took the opportunity cut off Anakin's legs and left arm, leaving him to fall into a pit of molten lava. Obi-Wan left Anakin behind, believing that he had eliminated one of the evil Sith from the galaxy. He then returned to take Padme' to a medical facility on Polis Massa. Padme's died during childbirth, but her twins survived the ordeal. Obi-Wan quickly discussed a plan with Bail Organa and Yoda to ensure that the unborn twins were hidden away from the Emperor. Bail Organa agreed to take in the daughter, to raise as his own with his wife. Obi-Wan then fled to Tatooine where he convinced Owen Lars and his wife, Beru, to take in the infant son of Anakin. Obi-Wan then hid himself in the Jundland Wastes of Tatooine, assuming the name Ben and promoting the image of a crazy old hermit. When Artoo-Detoo delivered a message from the daughter of Anakin Skywalker almost 20 years later, Obi-Wan was forced out of hiding. He enlisted the aid of Luke Skywalker - Anakin's son - in seeing the plans to the first Death Star safely to Alderaan. When this plan was foiled, Obi-Wan saw that he must sacrifice himself for the greater good of the Alliance. In a great lightsaber duel with his former friend Anakin Skywalker - who was now the infamous Darth Vader - Obi-Wan martyred himself, thus allowing his spirit-self to become one with the Force. This allowed him to continue to assist Luke's development as a Jedi while remaining hidden from the eyes of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader. Obi-Wan's spirit visited Luke on Hoth, after Luke's escape from the Wampa Ice Creature. He told Luke to go to Dagobah and seek out Yoda, for Obi-Wan sensed that his old master yet lived, and could help Luke ascend to the ranks of the Jedi Knights. His spirit reappeared twice more to Luke on Dagobah, urging the young man to continue his training. (SW, SWR, ESB, ESBR, ROTJ, SW1, DOD, CT, JQ6, JQ7, SWDB, IS3, SOJ)

Kentra
a species of winged, fur-covered aliens native to the planet Orellon II. The average Kentra stood more than two meters tall, and their bodies were humanoid in form. Their large wings were bat-like in form, but were distinct from their arms. The Kentra social structure was based on the idea of nests, which were formed from extended families and local village folk. Nests were organized into clans, and clans were organized into flocks. Each flock was ultimately based on the race of Kentra which formed it. There were four specific racial groups: jungle Kentra, which were the least populous of all Kentra groups; spotted Kentra, which were nomads that lived on the plains of Orellin II; striped Kentra, known for their incredible strength and patience; and the brown folk Kentra, who lived in the lowlands at the foot of the mountain ranges. Among the Kentra, the concept of "truth" has many subtle layers, and honor is valued as highly as family. It is believed that they chose to name themselves Kentra after the arrival of Michael Tandre to Orellon II. Tandre was forced to land his ship, the Alpha Kentrum, on the planet, and he became a sort of spiritual leader for the Kentra. (SWJ2, AE)

Kenzon, Ephaan
this man, born on the planet Baltimn many years before the Clone Wars, was discovered to be Force-sensitive at a young age, and was taken to the planet Coruscant for training. He was accepted as an apprentice by Jedi Master E'kothTassjun, but proved to be too unruly and quarrelsome. After disobeying his Master on a mission to the Zeemacht Cluster, Kenzon decided that he did not want to be expelled from the Jedi Order. So, he abandoned it altogether and returned to Baltimn. There, he set out to establish a dueling academy, which became known as the School of Hidden Wisdom, despite the flagging popularity of such schools. Kenzon accepted the homeless and eccentric to the School, and trained each individual with the same amount of respect. However, he found himself in a unique position when Supreme Chancellor Palpatine declared himself Emperor and instituted the New Order. As Jedi Knights began to hide from the Jedi Purge, Kenzon privately offered up the School as a safe haven. Over the years, Kenzon also began accepting Force-sensitive individuals as students, training them as best he could in the ways of the Force. His education provided a way for the Jedi and their followers to strike back at the Empire which destroyed the Jedi Order. His efforts finally came to the attention of the Empire around the time of the Battle of Endor, but by that time it was too late to do anything about it. The New Republic took control of the galaxy, and Luke Skywalker emerged as a Jedi Master. Kenzon had finally achieved his goals, and decided to shut down the school. He felt a great deal of pride when many of his students were accepted at Master Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. (PJSB)

Following the struggle to free Endor from Imperial control, Keoulkeech set out to find his calling among the great trees of the forest. Opening himself up to the spirits of Endor, he found himself at Salfur's Trading Post. There, he met a Carosite trader who was bringing medical supplies to Yir Tangee.

according to Ewok legend, this Ewok hunter and warrior first developed the ways of battling the Gorax. (GCG)

Keoulkeech
this was a common name for Ewok males. Like other Ewok names, it referred to a spirit or character in the Ewoks' mythology. (GCG)

Kep
this Adumari measure of distance was based on one thousand paces of a long-dead perator. (SOA)

Kep Fortuna
this Twi'lek was the city manager of the High City of Refuge, on the planet Kidron, at the height of the New Order. He fled to Kidron after visiting his distant relative, Bib Fortuna, at Jabba the Hutt's palace on Tatooine. A collection of Jabba's jewels somehow found their way into his pockets, although Kep never found out why. He decided that running away was preferable to turning them in, and so he sold them to book passage to Kidron. There, he became a member of the High City Council, and eventually bribed his way to the position of city manager. He was considered a sneaky businessman, and those who met him were best to warily tolerate his presence. (PG3)

Kepor Dagwa
this was a noted member of the Mrlssi race. (UANT)

Kepporra, Wynt
this man, a native of the planet Alderaan, attended the Imperial Academy on Prefsbelt IV at the same time as Delak Krennel. A member of the Academy's Thespian Union, he was home on leave when the planet was destroyed by the first Death Star, and was killed. Later, as Krennel rose to power and tried to disrupt the workings of the early New Republic, he claimed that Kepporra had been a good friend, when in fact they rarely met and had little interaction on Prefsbelt IV. In a broadcasted message, Krennel shed a fake tear for Kepporra's death, in an effort to win over dishomed Alderaanians from the Republic. This plan was the idea of Ysanne Isard's clone, who hoped to establish a rift between the human and non-human races of the Republic. (IR)

Kepzen, Lev
this Imperial Navy Captain was in command of the frigate Feral when it captured the Solar Terrors pirate gang. (FOP)

Kera-boa
this gelatinous organism was once native to the Yuuzhan Vong homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar. They were grown in large, semi-sentient colonies as the basis for many land-based vehicles, such as the vangaak. Kera-boa colonies were attached to yorik coral frames and allowed to grown, and were eventually studded with scutes for protection. (NEGV)

Keral Longknife
this T'Syriel was elected the Demarch of the Twelve Tribes of Shiva IV shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Against the history of his people, Keral agreed to become the blood-brother to Aron Peacebringer, forging a bond between the T'syriel and human populations of the planet. However, both of them agreed that life on Shiva IV had been happier before the peace accord was signed, when small battles were easily won in comparison to the resistance of the Outcasts. During a mission to investigate the fate of the city of K'avor, Keral and his companions located Leia Organa, who had crashlanded on the planet. Leia was in the sector to investigate the build-up of Imperial forces in the area, and her shuttle had been hit by a micromine. When Leia and Aron were kidnapped by General Sk'ar, Keral found that his forces could not be mobilized in time to launch a rescue mission. Luckily, Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, and Chewbacca had arrived on Shiva IV to look for Leia. They agreed to help Keral launch an attack on Sk'ar's warship, defeating the alien General before he could attack Illyriaqum. (MC53, MC54)

Kerane
this man was a noted prospector during the last decades of the Old Republic, although many of his peers considered him more than a bit insane. Kerane was the first being to map out and investigate the Hoth asteroid field, where he claimed to have found a huge asteroid formed of pure platinum. He claimed that he had even brought back a small sample to verify its composition. However, when Kerane returned to the asteroid belt to recover the asteroid, he was never able to find it. He went mad in his frustrating search, and the asteroid's location remained a mystery. (ISU)

Kerane Valley
named for the legendary explorer who first scouted the Hoth System, this glacial valley was located on the planet Hoth, just north of the Nev Ice Flow. (IWST)

Kerane's Folly
named after a mad prospector named Kerane, this legendary asteroid in the Hoth system is reportedly composed of pure platinum. Kerane was the first to locate the asteroid, and even brought back a small sample to verify its composition. However, when Kerane returned to the asteroid belt to recover the asteroid, he was never able to find it. He went mad in his frustrating search, and the asteroid's location remains a mystery. (ISU)

Kerdos Company
this was one of Coruscant's largest recycling firms, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (IWE2)

Keremark
this river town was located on the planet Risban. It was defended by the massive Fortress Keremark. (HAS)

Keren
this secondary city, located on the planet Naboo, was the site of the Kwilaan Spaceport. Although Theed was the planetary captial and the govnermental seat, Keren was the largest city on Naboo and the center of its planetary and interstellar businesses. (WOA2, SON)

Keren City Circuit
this was the most noted swoop racing course on the planet Naboo, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWGAL)

Keren City Council
this was the governing body of the city of Keren, on the planet Naboo, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SON)

Kerensik
a frozen planet on which humans dwell in enclaves. (DESB)

Kerensiki Trees
these tall trees, native to the planet Kerensik, have large spines instead of leaves. (DESB)

Keres I
this planet, little more than a ball of searing rock, was the innermost world of the Empress Teta System. (PH)

Keres II
this frozen ball of rock was the ninth and outermost planet in the Empress Teta System. (PH)

Kerest
this dying planet was the homeworld of the Kerestian race. The planet, located far from many trade routes within the Sluis Sector, entered an ice age sometime before the Clone Wars, after the Kerestian sun underwent strange changes. The sun's power was greatly reduced, and the amount of light and heat reaching Kerest was greatly diminished. As a result, the Kerestions were forced to resort to any means possible to survive. This has created two unique groups of Kerestians: the savage descendants of those who survived on Kerest, and the less intense descendants of off-world Kerestians. The planet was discovered by exploration vessels of the House of Tagge. (GG12)

Kerestese
this was the native language of the Kerestian race. The spoken form was incredibly complex, with many unique rules and exceptions. The written form used an equally complex alphabet. (UANT)

Kerestian
an alien race hailing from the planet Kerest, the Kerestians evolved into savage hunters of great cunning and skill. They were tall, powerfully-built humanoids with convoluted ridges on their foreheads. Two thin strips of hair grew in a strange double widow's peak from the ridges, and the strips continued down the Kerestian's back. Their nose was defined by a single, vertical slit above their mouth, and a row of breather tubes ran along their cheekbones. Their small ears were little more than holes located at the base of the skull, and were surrounded by folds of skin. The breather tubes were once used for long-range, high-frequency communication, but that ability was lost over time. They ware known as methodical, deliberate hunters, and were thought to be humorless. However, a recent discovery of a Kerestian colony ship turned up ancient members of the species suspended in time. When they were revived, these colonists showed none of the current Kerestian violence or deliberateness. It has been surmised that the harsh conditions of the planet Kerest forced subsequent generations of Kerestians to evolve into the vicious hunters they are today. They had mastered repulsorlift technology and sub-light space travel before Kerest was nearly destroyed as its sun began to convulse and contract. Kerest was reduced to a frozen wasteland. This caused the ancient Kerestians to "devolve" into barbarians and hunters. Their technology subsequently reverted to stone-age levels. (GG12)

Kerf
this Imperial Major served as part of the spaceport control team assigned to monitor all traffic in the capital city of the planet Bastion. It was Kerf who announced the arrival of Admiral Pellaeon, just after Pellaeon had met with Leia Organa-Solo. (VOF)

Kergara
this city, located on the planet Trogan, was the closest inhabited area to the Whistler's Whirlpool. (NJOSB)

Keriba VI
this lush moon, located in the Kalarba System, was the site of Aucellis Park. (WOA27)

Kerilt
this humid, jungle-covered planet is the first world in the Algaran System. The intense humidity and dense jungles prohibit colonization, although the atmosphere is conducive to habitation. Kerilt has one moon. A small population of Caamasi made their home on Kerilt, after the destruction of their homeworld's ecosystem. (PG2, WOTC)

Kerioth, Eisen
this cunning and ambitious Imperial Moff controlled Doldur Sector from a base on the planet Doldur. He walked with a limp, a reminder of his service in the Imperial armed forces. Kerioth sustained the injury when his stormtrooper escort was eliminate by Alliance blaster-fire, and Kerioth set out to find a way to make the eightteen-piece suit of armor better at protecting a trooper. When he discovered that Strephan I'att had developed a way to augment the protective properties of stormtrooper armor, he decided that he could steal the designs and take credit for them himself. The Moff had both Strephan and his wife, Augusta, executed before taking the designs for his own. He returned to Doldur, and began working on perfecting the system, but he lacked a piece of the puzzle: several c-boards stolen by Strephan's granddaughter, Tinian, as she escaped from Kerioth's killing spree. (TFE, SWJ4)

Kerl
Kerl was a member of Echo Flight, during the period leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Kerl's Naboo Police Cruiser was damaged during the defense of station TFP-9, when Echo One's ship took damaged from Dren Melne and crashed into it. Kerl was thrown clear of most of the debris, and barely survived the impact. (SFT)

Kerlay Utanks
this being, a merchant who worked in the city of Svitalos, on Fwillsving, was one of the revelers who took part in the city-wide celebration after Fwillsving defeated Kubindi 1-0 in bolo-ball, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. Utanks sold culinary automata for a living, and admitted to setting off several thermal detonators in his shop during the riots. (HNN4)

Kerlo
this gruff alien was a native of Horn Station. He was beheaded in a firefight with a man he believed to be a simple rock miner. In reality, the man was a Jedi Knight with amazing reflexes, and his blast took off Kerlo's head. (T2)

Kermen
this Imperial Admiral commanded the Star Destroyer Belligerent. He survived the Battle of Endor, and was in command of the remaining Imperial fleet which tried to protect the Core Worlds from invasion by the fledgling New Republic. Kermen's main forces were gathered in the Yushan Sector during the early years of the New Republic. He tried to control the planet Kaal at the behest of the Imperial Ruling Council, but was opposed by Imperial Moff Prentioch. Kermen had established a network of spies and agents on Kaal, infiltrating Tirgee Benyalle's criminal empire in order to make way for the Empire to re-establish control of the planet. (SWJ7)

Kern
this man was part of the crew of the BioCruiser, and was in charge of monitoring the ship's multitude of sensors to ensure that all its component parts were operating properly and safely. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, while investigating the ship at the request of the Old Republic Senate, learned from Denetrus that Kern had a high-level security clearance, despite his lowly position on the ship. An investigation by Tnani Ikon revealed that a former Senate operative named Kern had died eight years before, revealing that the man was using a No-Name alias which had been resurrected. It was later discovered that Kern was actually the real Tarrance Chenati. In his attempt to escape the Jedi, Kern shot Vox Chun and made his way to an escape pod. Kern had set the BIoCruiser to self-destruct and made off with the treasury, double-crossing Offworld Mining. (JAD)

Kerner
this thug and his partner, Bont, terrorized the city of Gadrin, on Cularin, during the last years of the Old Republic. They rode a pair of modified speeder bikes through the jungles surrounding the city, preying on anyone who strayed into the wilderness. Both Kerner and Bont were killed when they tried to attack the group of freelance agents who were investigating the rise to power of the Metatheran Cartel. The two were unprepared to have their prey fight back, and both were killed in fiery explosions. (EOS)

Kerner Plaza
this roadway, which was essentially an open-air bazaar, was located in Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine. It connected the Straight Street and the Ubrikkian Trade Tower to the Inner Curved Street. During the Imperial occupation of Tatooine, the primary Imperial garrison was built along Kerner Plaza. (IWST)

Kernode
this material was created by the Gungans. Similar in most respects to utanode, kernode was stronger and better able to support larger bubble buildings. (IWE1)
