Marska
this woman was an Imperial spy who worked personally for Lord Dixton during the Galactic Civil War. To all outward appearances, Marska was Dixton's air-headed secretary. In reality, she was hand-picked Emperor Palpatine for her cunning mind. After Dixton's shuttle, the Resurgence, was forced to land on Masterhome, both Dixton and Marska were captured by Alliance forces and imprisoned. (SWCP)

Marson, Arne
this man worked as a repulsortruck driver on the planet Coruscant, during the early years of the New Republic. During a regular run, Marson went to work overly drunk, and accidentally overturned his truck. Rather than admit to his mistake, Marson covered up the incident and hoped it was simply fade into the past. However, his truck had been loaded with juvenile stratts, which grew quickly and began to attack nightclub patrons. (CCW)

Marso's Demons
this group of fighter pilots was distinguished by one of its former members, Gallandro, who was generally considered one of the best Demons ever. (HSL)

Marspa
this ancient Jedi Master and his Padawan, Imina, traveled the galaxy for many years together. Quite often, Imina asked questions about the various ways in which the Jedi Knights had to handle their own tenets, based on the situation. They witnessed Hutt brutality against their slaves on Nal Hutta, as well as domestic violence on Ord Mantell. When Master Marspa failed to step in to help the slaves, but intervened on Ord Mantell, he explained to Imina that the Jedi Knights had to accede to the laws and customs of the planets on which they worked. He explained it this way: "For a Jedi to interfere with a culture on their homeworld would have been to pass judgement on them on behalf of the Republic." (PJSB)

Marstan, Thew
this carnival strong-man worked for Kersh Lauskner's Travelling Animal/Acrobatic Arcadium. He was renowned for this size; at just under a meter in height, he could bar metal bars and lift a platform on which audience members were sitting. The source of his strength has never been revealed. (GCQ)

Marsune
this ancient Gungan was something of a folk-hero to his contemporaries, more than 3,000 before the Battle of Yavin. Marsune was an independent thief, robbing from the rich clan leaders and distributing the wealth among the poorer Gungans. He hid in the forests of Naboo, avoiding capture while earning the admiration of the common people. However, when Boss Rogoe destroyed Otoh Sancture, Marsune's sense of fair play and his conscience finally gave way to determination. He came out of hiding to provide information on the forests to Boss Gallo, hoping that Gallo could defeat Rogoe and unite the Gungan people. In return for his assistance, Boss Gallo named Marsune the first Captain of the united Gungan Army. (GB)

Marsune
this ancient behemoth once lived in the deep oceans of the planet Naboo. It died out long ago, but remained an almost mythical part of Gungan history. (GCG)

Marsune
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 referred to a long-extinct leviathan. (GCG)

an Alliance General who commanded a desert planet during the Galactic Civil War. (RASB)

Martinette
this pirate ship was operated by Captain Jayhawk and Mirthen during the Galactic Civil War. The Martinette was a modified YT-1300 freighter, and was armed with a twin laser cannon and a heavy laser cannon. Jayhawk used the Martinette by pretending to be an Alliance privateer vessel. The Martinette was overtaken and nearly captured after it tried to intercept the crew of the Long Shot near Masterhome, but the Alliance forces were able to drive the pirates off. (SWCP)

Marty
this New Republic Navyman served as deck officer under Etahn A'baht on the Glorious. (BTS)

Martyr of Drongar, The
this was the title used in many newsfeeds to describe Phow Ji, after his death on Drongar during the height of the Clone Wars. The name referred to his seemingly heroic actions in wiping out a gang of Salissian mercenaries and their battle droid army, ostensibly to save the staff at Rimsoo Seven and allow them to relocate in the face of a Separatist attack. (MJH)

Martyrs
this constellation, found in the skies of Bothawui, was named in honor of the Bothan pilots of Blue Squadron. These pilots died trying to get the plans of the second Death Star to the Alliance. (KT)

Martyrs
this is the title given by the Bothan people to the members of the group which stole the plans to the secoind Death Star, as well as to those Y-Wing pilots who died ensuring the plans were given to the Alliance High Command. The Martyrs hold an almost sacred place in Bothan history and society, for their actions ultimately brought down the Emperor and the New Order. For a Bothan family to be joined to the family of a Martyr in marriage or other bond is considered a blessing. (KT, IR)

Maru
this large reptile was native to the planet Kashyyyk, where it was domesticated and used as a beast of burden by the Wookiees. (TCW)

Maru Ki
this was one of the Nebulon-B frigates which were used by the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Maru Lan
this was the name of a noted Kaminoan scientist. (UANT)

Maru, Crian
this Jedi Knight was one of the many who were caught up in events during the six months leading to the Battle of Ruusan. She and her apprentice, Dree Vandap, were dispatched to Harpori to locate Kaox Krul, but were too late to save the Duros colony there. The Dark Jedi caught them in the Balowa System, disabling the Golden Song as well as his own starfighter. After crashing on the only inhabited world of the system, the two Jedi readied themselves to confront the Sith warrior. Crian tried to take the fight to him on her own terms, hoping to offset Dree's limited training by battling Kaox Krul on her own terms. Unfortunately, Kaox Krul was able to throw Crian from the battle with a blast of Dark Side energy. During this brief lull, Krux killed Dree Vandap, then turned his full attention to Crian. Crian, angered at the untimely death of her Padawan, attacked with fury as much as focus. The battle went on for hours, until Crian finally gave in to the Dark Side. In the incredible concentration of Dark Side energy, both Crian and Kaox Krul were completely consumed, blasting the life from the immediate area and causing widespread ecological damage to the planet. Neither was ever found again. (GMR5)

Maruk, Jai
originally born on Druckenwell, this Jedi Master was one of the many that were thrust into positions of military command when the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy. Maruk was known among the other Jedi and many Padawans as the Hawk-bat, because of his fierce, wild stare. He was among the few Jedi who were on patrol near Vjun when they were intercepted by Asajj Ventress and brought to the remote planet. There, Maruk was attacked and forced to fight in a lightsaber battle with Ventress. The Dark Jedi would have beaten him if Dooku hadn't stepped in and called the battle off. Maruk nonetheless suffered a scarring lightsaber slash that damaged his face. However, Dooku released him so that he could return to Coruscant with a message for Yoda. Maruk raced back to the Jedi Temple in his starship, the Limit of Vision, and delivered Yoda's message personally. It was shortly after this that Yoda tried to challenge Maruk's perceptions, when he made a wager on the outcome of the Apprentice Tournament. Maruk had already decided that Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy - otherwise known as Scout - was unfit for the rigors of being a Jedi Knight. Yoda bet Maruk that if Scout finished in the lower half of the tournament, she would be sent to the Agricultural Corps. If she finished in second, third, or fourth, she could remain as an apprentice. However, if she won the tournament, Master Maruk would have to take her on as his Padawan. Maruk reluctantly agreed, and was more than surprised when Scout emerged as the tournament champion. He accepted her as his Padawan, but was unable to spend much time with her before being assigned to accompany Yoda back to Vjun. However, the little time they did spent together made Jai realize that he actually liked Scout. Their relationship was cut short when the Jedi were intercepted on Phindar by Asajj Ventress and a squadron of assassin droids. The Jedi fought bravely, but they were no match for the Dark Jedi and her droids. Master Leem was struck by a spray of flechette razors before being cut down by Ventress, and Maruk leapt into the fray to try and save her. However, he was no more a match for Ventress than Master Leem. In a battle that lasted just thirty seconds, Maruk was killed by Ventress. With his dying breath, Maruk swore to Scout that he would remain with her forever, at least in spirit. The deaths of the Jedi Master left their Padawans alone, until they were rescued by Yoda. (YDR)

Marut
this Victory-class Star Destroyer was part of the Imperial fleet, and was used to raid Alliance training facilities shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)

Mary
this beautiful, blonde-haired woman was part of Raggold's rebellion on the planet Solay, during the weeks following the Battle of Endor. After Raggold's assassination, Mary suggested that Luke Skywalker be named the ruler of Solay, as a representative of the New Republic and the democracy the natives of Solay so desparately wanted. Mary and the rest of the rebel band had but a few days of freedom, for Imperial warships arrived to assist in restoring King Blackart to power. Mary was shot and killed in the initial wave of attacks. (MC89)

Maryb Wastes
a vast, open wasteland found on the planet Maryx Minor. The Ancient Order of the Pessimists located their base beyond the Wastes. (EOE)

Maryx Minor

this alliance of planetary governments joined the Old Republic some fifty years before the Battle of Endor. They signed a treaty which brought them into the Republic aboard the Chandrilan corvette Freedom's Messenger. (DARK)

Mas Amedda
this imposing, blue-skinned Chagrian served as the Old Republic's Vice Chairman, serving under Chancellor Valorum and later under Chancellor Palpatine. He spent much of his free time studying the history of the galaxy, and maintained a wealth of information on the ancient Sith. He assumed the position of Vice Chancellor less than a year before the Battle of Naboo, shortly after Valorum was first accused of violating the Amended Proprieties Bill. Senator Palpatine pointed out to Queen Amidala that Mas Amedda was another skilled politician who was only working for his own advancement, and was on the payroll of the Neimoidians' Trade Federation. However, in reality, Mas Amedda was quite loyal to Valorum and the laws of the Old Republic. He frequently reminded Valorum of the protocols required by the Galactic Senate, but was unprepared when Amidala called for a vote of no-confidence in Valorum's abilities. Mas Amedda tried to quell the uprising, but the unrest within the Senate pushed the vote to ratification. After Palpatine was voted into office as Chancellor, Mas Amedda remained loyal to the honesty of the Old Republic, a trait which made him unpopular with many Senators and politicians. Over time, Amedda became one of Palpatine's closest advisors, and remained loyal to him throughout the conflict of the Clone Wars. His knowledge of the Sith was both drawn upon and expanded by Palpatine, and Mas Amedda was able to continue his research primarily because of funding that was diverted to him by Palpatine. When Palpatine assumed the role of Emperor and instituted the New Order, Mas Amedda remained by his side for a decade. (SW1, TPM, IG1, COD, GMR10, IS3, TCG10, SWI84)

Mas Ramdar
this Dreadnaught was part of the Old Republic's Home Fleet Strike Group Five, which defended the planet Coruscant during the height of the Clone Wars. This ship saw heavy fighting during the First Battle of Coruscant, and was part of the main force that attacked the Invisible Hand. However, the Mas Ramdar took heavy damage during the battle, and was further pounded by the weapons of the Invisible Hand until Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi managed to infiltrate the Separatist ship. (E3N)

Mas Ramdar
this Dreadnaught was part of the Home Fleet that defended the planet Coruscant from the attack of General Grievous, near the end of the Clone Wars. The Mas Ramdar was commanded by Barrow Oicunn, and it was credited with the destruction or disabling of many Separatist warships during the fighting. (SWDB)

MAS-2xB
this immense, mobile turbolaser platform was developed for the New Republic by Loronar. Standing more than twice the height of an AT-AT walker, the MAS-2xB was an ovoid vehicle which was essentially built around a huge turbolaser. The main body of the MAS-2xB was dedicated to the main turbolaser pulsor, while a small cabin was hung below the body. In addition to the main pulsor, the MAS-2xB was armed with a pair of turret-mounted double turbolaser cannons and a pair of heavy laser cannons mounted on the cabin. The MAS-2xB was equipped with a 4.2FC fusion power core to supply the tremendous amount of energy required to operate the vehicle. The MAS-2xB was protected by two-meter-thick armor plating and six separate shield generators. (EGW)

this Tarro was a Lieutenant Commander for the Alliance. (GG12)

Masalou
this barren world is the second planet in the Baralou System, and lies just outside the planet's Alou asteroid belt. (PG1)

Masan, Rophele
this man worked for Empire Freight Company, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. He had a number of contacts among the smugglers who worked out of Lamuir IV, and could help match up prospective customers to spacers. (TSIA)

Masanya
this modified CR90 corvette was used by the Alliance as a sensor jamming source. Admiral Ackbar placed the Masanya near the main fleet, where it could work to disrupt the weapons targetting systems of enemy craft. (CCG11)

Maser
the Imperial Remnant developed short-range, maser-based communication systems during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (FH3)

Maser Debriding
this was a medical technique in which dead and burned flesh was removed with specialzied tools that utilized amplified microwaves. (SWI83)

Masgen System
Qatak Qantaras worked for the Alliance in this system, during the Galactic Civil War. (GG12)

Mashi Horansi
a subspecies of the Horansi race, the Mashi Horansi were easily distinguished from the other races by their jet black fur and their sleek bodies. They were also the only purely nocturnal species of Horansi, a trait they have inherited from their ancestors. The Mashi Horansi were excellent hunters, and could be tracked only by the most skilled - and often lucky - of trackers. For this reason, the pelt of a Mashi Horansi was prized by the other races. They mate for life. (PG1)

Ma'Shraid
this Yuuzhan Vong prefect was one of the few female leaders that accompanied the first wave of the Praetorite Vong invasion force into the galaxy. She commanded the warriors who guarded the yammosk on Helska,and commanded one of the first warships to enter the galaxy with prefect Dooje Brolo. (VP)

Mashrang
this was a common male name among the Gamorrean people. Like most Gamorrean names, it was essentially gibberish that indicated what a Gamorrean would do if you made him angry. (GCG)

Masked Soldiers
in the prophetic visions of the Keganite woman O-Vieve, the Masked Soldiers attacked and subjugated the planet Kegan. Historians later learned that these soldiers were actually the Imperial stormtroopers of the New Order. (FFT)

Masking Putty
this pliable material was used by actors and artists to modify a being's facial structure. (BP)

Masla
this young woman was the daughter of an Imperial officer, as well as a member of the theater troupe which was led by Roons Sewell, during the height of the New Order. Masla found herself falling in love with Roons, partly because of his good looks, but mainly because of the emotion and humanity he possessed and was unafraid to display. Unfortunately, when an Imperial law enforcement team tried to break up the troupe's performances, Masla was shot and killed during a firefight. Her death only hardened Roons' resolve to join the Alliance and exact revenge on the Empire. His first act of defiance came just after Masla's death, when Roons executed her father, who was an Imperial officer at the time. From that point forward, Roons cried out Masla's name every time he went into battle. (SWERS)

Maslak
this was a species of lily which grew in the shallow waters of the planet Somov Rit. Sprouting from the wide, dish-shaped leaf of the maslak was a tall stalk, atop which grew an enormous bulb. The bulb contained seeds, which had wing-like petals that allowed them to be carried on the wind when the plant reproduced. (JVS)

Maslovar
this was considered to be the primary city on the planet Desevro. Bleys Harand once described Maslovar as "not so much a city as it is the carcass of every city at once." It was nearly as old as civilization on Desevro itself, and was established on the coastline of the Gorovod continent. Because of its age, Maslovar seemed to be in a continual state of repair, as ancient buildings and roadways needed constant upgrading to keep them usable. Thus, many travels preferred to move from location to location via speeders and flitters, thereby avoiding the near-constant roadwork. Thirty-seven families made up the majority of the population of Maslovar, with many tracing their roots back to the earliest settlements on Desevro. Many of these families maintained estates on the islands of the Swamplands, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. (GORW)

Maso-class Freighter
an out-dated light cargo hauler. (GG9)

Masona, Roth-Del
this dark-skinned, human Jedi Knight was one of the handful of Jedi who survived the initial stages of the Battle of Geonosis.

Mass Drive Cannon
this form of starship weapon was considered outdated, though highly effective, during the modern era of the galaxy. (CRO)

Massasai One
this was Luke Skywalker's callsign, during the period following the Battle of Yavin. He used the callsign while on diplomatic missions to other worlds, during the Alliance's search for a new base and new allies. (CSWEA)

Massassi
an alien race brough to Yavin 4 from a planet in the ancient Sith Empire, the Massassi were red-skinned, yellow-eyed humanoids with a primitive culture. The Massassi were later enslaved by Naga Sadow and transported to Yavin 4, where they were transformed by the Sith Lord's dark powers. They became a race of warriors, with grayish-green skin and large, lantern-like eyes. Over the centuries, in the wake of Naga Sadow's death, the altered Massassi became even more primitive in nature, and were comparatively timid and weak when Exar Kun came to Yavin 4 to seek out a Sith power object. Note that Dark Lords of the Sith portrays the Massassi as savage, Dark Side creatures descended from the Sith themseles. They were the offspring of Naga Sadow's alchemical magic. They were also red-skinned humanoids. This seems to have been a change of heart for Kevin Anderson, who worked on both sources. Kun later enslaved them, and made them build the temples that dotted the forest, as focusers of the power of The Force. They were exterminated when Kun, in an effort to defeat the Jedi Knights, consumed their spirits in order to trap his own spirit in the Obsidian Temple during the Great Sith War. Their bodies were destroyed by the Jedi Knights who tried to defeat Kun. Over the intervening millennia, the spirits of the Massassi remained trapped on Yavin 4, until they were released by Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila, with the help of the Golden Globe. They are termed "Massasi" in Lost City of the Jedi. (SW, DA, COTF, DLS, ECH)

Massassi
this was the language of the ancient Massassi people. (DSSB)

Massassi
this was the name given to the warrior caste of the ancient Sith race. (DSSB)

Massassi Ink Rifle
this ancient rifle was originally developed by the Massassi of Yavin 4, although only a few specimens survived to the era of the Galactic Civil War. It's carved barrel was mounted to a horn-shaped stock, and appeared to have been adapted to fit onto a scimitar. Thus, the ink rifle could be used as a long-range weapon or as a melee weapon. (SWGAL)

Massassi Knuckler
this hand-held, four-bladed weapon was developed by the Massassi for close-in combat. The center of the knuckler was wrapped with leather for a better grip, while two curved blades emerged from either end. (SWGAL)

Massassi Station
the Alliance's base on the fourth moon of Yavin. It was named from the race that built the huge temples in which the Alliance stored their fighters and command stations while preparing to battle the first Death Star. (SCRE)

Massassi Tree
a species of tree native to Yavin 4 with a thick-boled trunk and purplish bark, the Massassi tree can grow to heights of nearly 200 meters. The bark of the Massassi tree can be shredded, and the small flowers which grow at branch junctures can be boiled to create a fever-reducing tea. (JS, DA, GG2)

Masse Goskey
this being owned the famous Arms Emporium, which was located in the city of Mos Eisley on the planet Tatooine. It was situated on Paradise Road, just off Spacers Row. (IWST)

Massiff
native to the deserts of Tatooine, this massiff was a smaller variety of the form found on the planet Geonosis. It was believed that these massiffs were brought to Tatooine by a trading ship from Geonosis, which crashed in a sandstorm some 200 years before the Battle of Geonosis. The surviving massiffs were taken in by the Sandpeople of Tatooine, who raised them as guard dogs and companions. The Tatooine massiff was of little use as a sentry, since it's sensory systems could not adapt to the planet's whirling sands. Many Sandpeople clans which kept massiffs were considered renegades, since the keeping of off-world animals was a major change to time-honored traditions. (SWDB, AOTC, SWI62)

Massimo
this rugged man was a mamber of Mirith Sinn's New Republic cell on the planet Phaeda. He was openly suspicious of Kir Kanos, and discovered that Kanos was wanted by Carnor Jax for crimes against the Empire. When Sinn ordered him to back off, Massimo challenged her to a duel for control of the Republic cell. They never got a chance to fight, because Colonel Shev's troops invaded their stronghold, on the information provided by double agent Tem Merkon. Massimo believed Kanos had betrayed them, until Sish Sadeet discovered that the traitor was actually Tem Merkon. Massimo executed Merkon by stabbing him in the heart. He then led the flight and defense of the base at Collo Fauale, holding on until the Lusankya arrived to defeat the Steadfast. He then flew the Phaeda's Hope to the huge ship, and requested a shuttle to follow Sinn to Yinchorr, where he could apologize for assaulting her. He arrived too late to save Sish Sadeet, but managed to recover Mirith. She then fled the New Republic, joining Grappa the Hutt in an effort to locate Kir Kanos. Massimo followed her, and offered to tell Grappa about her true motives for the right price. Massimo told Grappa that Mirith had been spying on his organization, in an attempt to break up the pirate raids he had been staging on New Republic ships. When Grappa caught Sinn, he had both Mirith and Massimo turned over to the Zanibar for their dealings. (CE, CE2)

Masslines
this song, written and played by the band Red Shift Limit, was banned by the Imperial Board of Culture. It first appeared on the compilation Limited Warfare. (GG9)

Mass-nulling Clip
developed to help lighten the load of explorers and scouts, a mass-nulling clip generated a focused field of very-low gravity. This allowed large loads - primarily water and food supplies - to be carried on the back or on a belt clip, without adding additional weight to a being's load. During the early years of the New Republic, pressurization technology was coupled with mass-nulling clips, allowing a week's worth of water to be carried on a being's belt. (TG)

Mass-shadow Mine
this was a sophisticated form of space mine developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. Mass-shadow mines were essentially proximity mines that could detect the presence of a ship that was passing through a nearby point in hyperspace. When a ship was detected, the mine "exploded", creating a localized point of intense gravity that cast a similar gravity shadow into hyperspace. This mass shadow forced the passing ship's hyperdrive system to shut down, dragging the ship back into realspace. In realspace, the Separatists would then ambush the passing ship. A series of these mines was used during the early stages of the First Battle of Coruscant, to prevent any Old Republic warships from returning to Coruscant and jumping directly into the battle. (LEV)

Master Jaing
this man was one of the many Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders who survived the Mandalorian Wars and set out to take control of several clans of mercenaries, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor. Like Canderous Ordo, Master Jaing was a former shock trooper who remained loyal to the Canons of Honor, but realized that he needed to earn credits in order to survive. Jaing managed to rein in some of the old Neo-Crusader clans, and made a relatively honest living as a soldier for hire. It was rumored that Jaing was the first true mentor of the armored bounty hunter Durge, and it was believed that Jaing was killed in a Mandalorian attack while arranging for Durge to receive his various cybernetic implants. (SWI80, VIS)

Master Machinesmith
this was the title bestowed upon those individuals who managed to keep hardware operational on Drexel One. To many individuals, they were also known as wreckers, since they evolved from the original pirates who were loyal to Quarg's father. Among the foremost contributions was the sonic jammer, a device originally used to ambush starships in the Korteen Asteroid Belt. The jammer was taken with them Drexel One, where the Master Machinesmiths used to to disable starships in orbit around Drexel, shutting down their propulsion and guidance systems and forcing the ship to crash into the ocean. This allowed the Machinesmiths to acquire much-needed metals for their continued existence. (MC12, MC13)

Master Marksman
this was the alias assumed by Han Solo, when he infiltrated the Stars' End facility as a member of Madame Atuarre's Roving Performers, several years before the Battle of Yavin. (HSE)

Master of Cerements
this individual was responsible for making sure the ancient customs of the planet Necropolis were observed, thereby ensuring that the Curse of Sycorax would not be invoked. Among the traditions were: having pretend "mummies" greet off-worlders who came to Necropolis, in an effort to scare away evil spirits; setting aside a portion of every meal for the dead; and burying all those who die in the cemetary, whole and intact, without cremation or disintegration.
