Vibrosword
a Hapan sword with a vibrating blade. (CPL)

Vibrowhip
this unusual whip was developed during the last decades of the Old Republic. It contained a small power generator in its grip, which provided energy along the length of the whip. In this way, tiny blades located along the whip were shifted back and forth at high speeds. Thus, when the whip struck its target, it was able to cut through it rather than leaving a welt. (O)

Vibrowire
this form of fencing used a specialized, vibrating wire to keep beings and creatures from entering or exiting an area. The wire was attached to a remote power source, and vibrated in a tight cycle.

Vick, Slane
this young man served the Old Republic navy as a Private aboard the Ranger, during the height of the Clone Wars. When the Ranger was boarded by Separatist battle droids, during the fight for control of the planet Praesitlyn, Private Vick was among the guards who accompanied Jedi Master Nejaa Halcyon to engage them before they could take control of the ship. Both Vick and his partner, Corporal Raders, were later chosen to serve as Halcyon's personal guards, after the Republic's forces were able to land on Praesitlyn. Upon landing on Praesitlyn, both Vick and Raders signed up for scout duty, preferring the action to sitting around waiting for the battle to start. After returning to base with Odie Subu and Erk H'Arman in tow, Vick and Raders were then allowed to sit in the command center with Halcyon and his leaders, Anakin Skywalker and Zozridor Slayke, to devise a new plan to defeat the Separatists. They were surprised and eager when Skywalker chose them as the point men for his daring mission to rescue the hostages at the Intergalactic Communications Center. (JT)

Victory Rationing Orders and Regulation Plan
this Old Republic regulation was put in place during the early stages of the Clone Wars, hoping to ensure that vital war materiel and foodstuffs would be available for the Republic's armed forces. It also was established to help control the inflation which threatened to devalue the Republic Credit. Among the things which were controlled by the VRORP was starship fuel, limiting the amount of fuel that was available for civilian use. Special vouchers had to be obtained by civilians who wanted to travel the galaxy, and these vouchers were quickly counterfeited so that criminal organizations could continue to operate. (SWI67)

see Victory-II class Star Destroyer (IJ)

Victory-I class Star Destroyer
a medium-duty capital ship, the Victory-class was the precursor to the Imperial class. It was designed by Walex Blissex and was commissioned into service near the end of the Clone Wars. It was manufactured by Rendili StarDrive, and was built to serve three purposes: planetary defense, planetary assault and ground troop support, and ship-to-ship combat. It can run at speeds up to .45 past lightspeed. The Victory-class measured 900 meters in length, and was manned by 4,798 crewers and 402 gunners. It could transport up to 2,040 troops, and held 8,100 metric tons of cargo. It was equipped with 10 quad turbolaser batteries, 40 double turbolaser batteries, 80 concussion missile tubes, and 10 tractor beam projectors. Note that the Star Wars: Customizable Card Game states that the Victory-class Star Destroyer had the capability to operate in a planet's atmosphere, a fact that was corroborated in Han Solo's Revenge. Also note that Starships of the Galaxy indicates the weaponry of this ship consisted of 10 light turbo quad lasers, 20 double turbolaser batteries, 20 concussion missile tubes, and 10 tractor beam, projectors. (HTTE, ISB, CCG, SOG, HSR)

Vidkum, Benedict
this short, thin human had bulging brown eyes and pale skin from living too many years underground in Coruscant's southern hemisphere. He worked as an engineer, and had access to many schematics and entry codes. He was a confederate of Lando Calrissian, and agreed to help Lando and Luke Skywalker gather information on Prince Xizor's palace. They haggled on a price, which Luke paid, but they also demanded that Vidkum accompany them to the palace, as a form of insurance. Vidkum's paranoia got the best of him, and he believed that Luke and Lando would kill him as soon as they got to the palace. He pulled a blaster on them, and threatened to kill them both. A short firefight resulted in the death of Benedict Vidkum, although his information was instrumental in gaining access to the palace. (SE)

Vidmap

Vien'sai'malloc
this Devaronian female served her homeworld as a Senator to the Old Republic, along with Senator Elsah'sai'moro, during the height of the Clone Wars. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, Senator Vien'sai'malloc was known as one of the few incorruptible members of the Galactic Senate. Unknown to most beings, however, the Senator was not what she seemed. Unlike Senator Elsah'sai'moro, Vien'sai'malloc had allied herself with the Separatists. It was her work that allowed the Separatists to establish a hidden military on Devaron, from which Separatist forces launched ambush raids against Republic supply convoys. After Elsah'sai'moro discovered her true nature, Vien'sai'malloc hired Aurra Sing to eliminate her. She retained the bounty hunter's services in order to protect herself from a reprisal from the Jedi Knights. However, when three Jedi - Masters Tholme and the Dark Lady, along with Aayla Secura - had infiltrated her estate, she tried to stop Aurra Sing from killing them. When Aurra Sing refused, the Senator tried to atone for her treachery by revealing the true location of the base to Aayla Secura, who was unable to relay the information before Aurra Sing could strike. In the end, Senator Vien'sai'malloc was imprisoned for her part in the Separatist attacks, but the Republic allowed her to be tried on Devaron when President Aven'sai'ulrahk demanded it. The Senator was executed for her crimes against her people. (J3)

Viento
this man was one of the many Senators who served the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Viento was distinguished by his well-groomed appearance, including eyebrows that curved upward into points at his temples, and a beard that was little more than a black stripe down his chin. His skin was quite pale, but was always flawless with make-up. Unknown to many, Senator Viento was under the protection of Jedi Master K'kruhk. This proved a minor deterent to Quinlan Vos, who traveled to Coruscant to assassinate Viento in order to solidify his position with Count Dooku. Dooku had become tired of Viento's schemes, especially when he discovered that Viento had been using his association with Dooku to further his own ends. Quin, for his own part, believed that Viento was the mysterious second Sith who had appeared after the Battle of Geonosis. Jedi Master K'kruhk and the former Jedi struggled briefly, but Quinlan was able to kill Viento before K'kruhk could stop him. An investigation into Viento's death revealed that the Senator had been behind several plots to sabotage the starships of other Senators who were loyal to the Republic and the Jedi Knights, pinning him as a supporter of the Separatists. (RSS, RDR)

Vigil, The
this was the name given to the ceremony formed by the A'Mar of the moon of Lamus, in which they remembered their first encounter with the Wellspring and the thirty-year occurance of the sunless day. The original A'Mar discovered the Wellspring on the eve of the sunless day, but were afraid to drink from it. When the sun failed to rise the next morning, their apprehension only grew. At the same time, so did their thirst. After watching the coronal ring of fire move across the sky was the moon and planet matched orbits, the A'Mar finally gave into their thirst and drank from the spring. They were immediately revitalized, and the next morning saw the sun rise again. The A'Mar were not supersititious, and understood something of the celestial mechanics behind the sunless day. However, they never forgot their initial fear, and established The Vigil to ensure that the waters of the Wellspring would continue to flow. Once every thirty years during The Vigil, one A'Mar who had never drunk from the Wellspring was required to spend a day and a night at the Wellspring without taking a single drink. When the coronal ring of fire passed across the sky and set, the A'Mar could then drink from the Wellspring, thereby ensuring that the sun would rise again. During the Galactic Civil War, the sunless day occurred at a time when only one A'Mar child had never taken a drink from the Wellspring. (WOA31)

Vigil, The
this secret organization was created during the New Order in the Mestra System, and was formed to fight the Minos-Mestra Corporation's poor treatment of its working class miners and retirees.

Vigo
an old Tionese word for "nephew," Prince Xizor used it to name his closest lieutenants. The addition of a family name, he reasoned, would help them work together for their "uncle." (SE)

Vigor
the captain of this modified Corellian Engineering Corporation gunship claimed that he was part of a small task force assembled by Leia Organa Solo to ensure that the Wanderhome reached Ralltiir intact. However, the Vigor and its companion, the Blunt Force, were actually Peace Brigade ships that had intercepted the distress call of the Wanderhome and hoped to bring its load of refugees to the Yuuzhan Vong. The pilots who were escorting the Wanderhome managed to drive off the Peace Brigade ships, allowing the Wanderhome to reach Ralltiir safely. The Vigor was modified to be operated by a crew of ten, and could accommodate up to four prisoners and 450 metric tons of cargo. It was armed with eight double turbolaser cannons and a pair of quad-laser cannons. (NJOSB)

Viith Yalu and his team were responsible for discovering a way to neutralize the effects of bacta, in an effort to cripple the New Republic. Four years after the onset of the invasion, Viith Yalu and his team succeeded in breaking the biochemical sequencing of bacta, and developed a virus which could destroy the alazhi plants that were vital to the fluid's production. Viith Yalu planned to bring the virus to Thyferrs inside the person of Bey Gandan, after having twisted the former Jedi Knight to the ways of the Yuuzhan Vong. The virus was implanted in his body, and was to be expelled from his pores upon reaching Thyferra. The plan nearly succeeded, as Bey was able to release a small portion of the virus before he was killed. However, the Vratix had been alerted the the threat, and burned the infected alazhi fields before the virus could spread. (SWI64)

Vil
this young man was a student of xenoarcheology at the University of Agamar during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Vil was part of the team which traveled to Bimmiel with Anki Pace, to serach for Jedi artifacts. He and Denna were sent out to repair some equipment but failed to return. It was believed that they were captured and enslaved by the Yuuzhan Vong. (DTO)

Vila
this young woman was the only surviving child of the King of Naldar, after her homeworld was destroyed by Imperial forces in the wake of the Battle of Endor. She was the twin sibling of Prince Denin, who died about two years before the Battle of Endor. From that point forward, Vila adopted the alias of Denin, in the hopes of retaking Naldar. She took a starship and fled Naldar, barely making it to the Forest Moon of Endor. There, she posed as Denin in hopes of enlisting the aid of the Alliance in freeing Naldar. She also hoped to be trained as a Jedi Knight by Luke Skywalker. However, her pleas for help fell on the deaf ears of Leia Organa, who couldn't understand why Denin would linger on Endor when his people were dying. Although the Alliance couldn't spare a fighter squadron, a small task force was sent to accompany Vila back to Naldar. It was on Naldar that Leia discovered the truth about Denin's death, and Vila was forced to explain herself. Shortly afterward, when it was discovered that Flint was behind the subjugation of Naldar, Vila jumped in front of a blaster bolt meant to kill Flint. She wanted the fighting stopped, after Flint agreed to free Naldar. Vila died from her injuries, but it was rumored that she was reunited with Denin when she became part of the Force. (MC92)

Vonnda Ra's male companion on Dathomir. He was somewhat gifted in the use of the Force, and could manipulate the weather. He later went with Tamith Kai to search out potential trainees for the Shadow Academy, and helped her kidnap Zekk. During his apprenticeship to Tamith Kai, he grew stronger and stronger in the use of the Dark Side of the Force, and became one of the leaders of the Shadow Academy. When Zekk became a powerful student under Brakiss, the two were placed in a unique, zero-gravity combat chamber to duel each other to the death. The winner would become the Shadow Academy's military leader. Although Vilas held the upper hand throughout most of the duel, Zekk prevailed and killed Vilas. (SA, LO, L)

Vileela
meaning "beautiful", this was one of the most common names among Rodian females. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)

Vilhon
this moon orbited the planet Vycinyth, and was the site of House Melantha's orbital game preserve. (LOE)

Vilhona
this Aquar female originally hired by the Nexcore Mining Corporation as a security officer, where she was given access to some of NMC's most sensitive information. Because of this, she was among the first individuals fired when NMC was investigated for monopolizing the extraction of ores from Velusia's oceans. She ended up in the lowest section of Mount Hollow, where she formed the Sisters of the Crimson Mark, doing anything she could to disrupt the activities of the Nexcore Mining Corporation. (CCW)

Vilia, Klorr
this noted botantist worked to discover an herb that appealed to a wide range of species and tastes. He created the herb savorium, and invited his friend Zorneth sample the first taste. Zorneth declined, since Vilia had used it on meat. Vilia took the first taste himself, and was affected by the herb. He became the first of the Smilers, and was known as Smiley to Zorneth and his subordinates. Zorneth cared for him for the next five years, all the while realizing that the secret of savorium must be maintained. Vilia died on Zorneth's starship when it was attacked by Dictator-Forever Craw's forces. Zorneth had ordered that the savorium groves on it be destroyed rather than captured, and the droid PDA6 followed those orders to the letter. Vilia was caught in the explosion. (DRO)

Villache, Nazrita
this hardened woman served the Klatooinan Trade Guild as Pok Nar-Ten's chief technician. In this position, she was in charge of maintaining, repairing, and modifying the freighters of the Guild. (SWJ11)

Village of Aurilia
this settlement was founded by a group of Force-sensitive refugees who were abandoned on Dathomir by the Empire, during the early years of the New Order. Originally established by Rohak and his aides, Noldan and Paemos, the Village of Aurilia was settled by beings who had been arrested by Emperor Palpatine's agents because they were considered "dangerous" to the Empire because of their abilities. Although the Village of Aurilia enjoyed several decades of peace because of its remote location, it was eventually discovered by the Nightsisters, who launched several waves of attacks against it. The largely pacifist population of the Village fought back, eventually repelling the attack and rebuilding the settlement. It was because of these attacks that Rohak and Marite agreed that the Village would open its arms to offworlders who wanted to learn about the Force, a decision that took many months to come to fruition. Those individuals who completed their training at the Village were considered the equivalent of a Padawan. Although the Village of Aurilia enjoyed several decades of peace because of its remote location, it was eventually discovered by the Nightsisters, who launched several waves of attacks against it. The largely pacifist population of the Village fought back, eventually repelling the attack and rebuilding the settlement. (SWGAL)

Villar
this Devaronian explorer made most of his credits selling information to the highest bidders. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, much of his information was bought by the Empire. (REB)

Villid
this speciallized form of villip - distinguished by its flattened, gelatinous form - was used in groups to create a light shaper. (UFCD)

Villip
one of the many bio-engineered technologies of the Yuuzhan Vong, villips were created in pairs, and resembled a lumps of formless flesh. They were cultivated in wide, marshy paddies, and each pair grew like a couple of berries on a single stalk. The plant itself was recognizable by its three blue leaves, which surrounded the central stalk. When activated by touching the ridge of flesh known as the eversion stoma, the villip seemed to pucker open, revealing an eye-like socket. This socket then opened a communications channel to its companion villip, allowing two parties to speak across vast distances. Each villip was a sentient piece of technology which was "tuned" to communicate with the other villip which grew from the same stalk, and the Yuuzhan Vong often had many villips in their possession, depending on how many others they were in contact with. The connection between villips was rooted in their consciousness, and was formed by opening tiny hyperspace portals between pairs. Once contact was made and a connection established, each villip would turn itself inside-out, forming itself into the image of its owner, thereby giving the impression of talking directly to an individual who may have been halfway across the galaxy. Larger villips known as master villips were capable of budding many smaller villips, allowing it to communicate with multiple subordinate villips at once. These groupings were reserved for use by military commanders, and communication was only allowed from the master villip to all subordinates. A speciallized form of villip was also used to record visual information for later playback. Known as tactical villips, these villips were more independent than other forms. After the hostilities between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance were resolved, and the Yuuzhan Vong were allowed to live on the planet Zonama Sekot, they found that villips and many other bio-engineered devices simply reverted to their natural forms. This was one way in which Sekot forced the Yuuzhan Vong to give up their lust for war and embrace a more enlightened existence. (VP, DTO, EL1, SWRPG2, UF, UFCD, NEGW)

Villip Beacon
this was a form of villip, bioengineered by the Yuuzhan Vong to send a signal back to a companion villip or villip choir. What made the villip beacon different from a standard villip was that it was easily concealed, and did not form itself into the guise of its companion's user. Rather, it simply recorded what it observed and transmitted it to its companion. Villip beacons were often used for covert surveillance, with an agent carrying one hidden in their robes in order to transmit images and sounds from an enemy location. (FH3)

Villip Choir
see Villipichoir Field (HT)

Villip-choir Field
this form of holographic projection was created by speciallized villips, which were bioengineered by the Yuuzahn Vong. Two or more villips were required to create the field, which could reproduce a three-dimensional view of what the villips were seeing. In this way, the Yuuzhan Vong could observe remote events in vivid clarity. There were essentially two forms of villip choir, depending on how the choir received its information. The simpler form acted on the signal of a remote villip, sometimes called a villip beacon, and simply relayed the information it received in in full color, but only in two dimensions. The more sophisticated form, known as a light shaper, used speciallized villips - known as villids - to produce a bioluminescent form of hologram. (HT, UFCD)

Villius, Justar
this man was the speaker of the House of Citizens, on the planet Corulag, during the Clone Wars. He was believed to have been killed during a Separatist attack on Curamelle, when the Legislative Hall was badly damaged. Rescuers eventually located Villius and pulled him to safety. (WOTC, GCG)

Vilmarh Grahrk
this harsh, hulking Devaronian worked as a mercenary during the last decades of the Old Republic. He flew the galaxy in his personal starship, the Inferno, and was assisted by the droid NT. After helping Naradan D'ulin rescue the princess Foolookoola from the planet Ootoola, Villie was hired by Darth Sidious to stir up the Yinchorri people into aggressive acts against their neighbors. Sidious hoped to draw the Jedi Knights into a trap in the Yinchorri System, provided that Vilmarh Grahrk did his job. His cousin, another hulking Devaronian with a broken left horn, was captured by Adi Gallia on Yitheeth, while trying to lead a group of Yinchorri warriors against the Jedi. After the Jedi managed to destroy the Yinchorri command center on Uhanayih, Vilmarh and his cronies fled the system in fear of being captured. They were branded criminals and hunted down by the Old Republic. His actions, however, forced the Jedi Knights to consdier that a stronger power was behind the Yinchorri uprisings. Many months later, Villie first encountered Quinlan Vos on Nar Shaddaa, after the Jedi Knight had been stripped of his memory. Villie had bet the Inferno as collateral in several wagers, but lost them all. He then "rescued" Quinlan, in order to obtain the prize money offered by the criminal underworld to the being who could most accurately predict how long a Jedi whose memory had been erased could survive on the moon. With this money, he hoped to buy back the Inferno. Quinlan rmanaged to avoid being killed, and force the Devaronian to explain what was going on. The two fled Nar Shaddaa after confronting Bib Fortuna about Quinlan's loss of memory, and traveled to Ryloth to discover the whereabouts of Aayla Secura. After learning of Chom Frey Kaa's part in the development of glitteryll, Villie agreed to take Quinlan to Coruscant. He contacted the Twi'lek Senator, claiming to be bringing Quinlan in for the bounty on his head. Villie, however, had decided that the Jedi was his friend, and used the meeting to lure Chom Frey Kaa into a trap set by Mace Windu. Villie became something of a friend to Quinlan, and helped the Jedi during his mission to Kiffu. It was rumored that Villie survived the tumult of the Clone Wars, and eventually ended up on Tatooine as a front-man for Jabba the Hutt. In his old age, Villie was no less a conman and swindler than when he was young, and often played both sides against each other to figure out which one paid better. (T3, AOW, OWS, SWT, DRKN, IESB)

Vilthar, Kodi
this man was a noted assassin, who worked in the Core Worlds during the height of the New Order. Vilthar was hired by Yustavan Dreezien to assassinate Cilyn Gara, a mission which Vilthar executed to perfection. However, Vilthar was unaware that Dreezien planned to kill him as well, to cover up any "loose ends." Luckily for Vilthar, he was apprehended by a group of freelance mercenaries who had been hired by Magda Gara to locate her father's killer. Vilthar pleaded guilty to the crime, but received a level of clemency when he testified against Dreezien. (CCW)

Vima-Da-Boda
a descendant of Nomi and Vima Sunrider (six generations removed from Nomi Sunrider), Vima was a great warrior for over a century before she began teaching her daughter, Neema, about the Force. Neema, however, grew tired of her mother's slow style, and attempted to teach herself. She became seduced by the Dark Side of the Force, and was utterly consumed by it. Neema became the mistress, and later the wife, of an Ottethan warlord, who eventually grew tired of her and cast her out into the rancor-filled forests of his homeworld. Vima heard Neema's telepathic plea for help, and set out at once to find her. Vima arrived too late to save her daughter, and sliced the warlord in half with her lightsaber. She succumbed to the Dark Side of the Force, and was stripped of her ability to sense and use the Force. Thus, she escaped the Jedi Purge which Emperor Palpatine initiated. Vima got into trouble, and was sent to the spice mines of Kessel, where she discovered Kyp Durron. She taught him what she could of the Force before she was taken away. Vima was discovered a number of years later by Han Solo and Princess Leia on Nar Shaddaa (or Nal Hutta, as described in Jedi Search). There, she gave Princess Leia a 10,000 year old lightsaber that was found around 800 PE on Ossus. Han and Leia returned to remove her from spaceport and move her to Coruscant, following the death of the reborn Emperor Palpatine on Byss. She helped Leia learn about the ways of the Jedi, just in time to help Leia shield her newborn son, Anakin, from the reborn Emperor. Following the death of the Emperor and Empatojayos Brand, Vima accompanied Leia back to Onderon, but during the victory celebration she mysteriously disappeared. It is not known if she had since died, or simply returned to Nar Shaddaa. (DE1, JS, DE2, EE)

Vina Ocean
this body of water dominated the western hemisphere of the planet Bacrana. (FBS)

Vincha
this plant is native to the planet Dantooine, although it was not abundant. The native Dantari learned that the vincha had certain medicinal properties, and valued the rare plant for its ability to heal. Dantari medicine men chewed the soft, white root to develop a paste with their saliva. The paste could then be spread on a cut or other wound, and the wound would heal much quicker than if left alone. (DTO)

Vinda
this being was one of the primary businessbeings working for Starshipwrights and Aerospace Engineers Incorporated, during the early years of the New Order. Vinda and his associate, D'rag, put out a collection request for the 2,500 credits owed to them by Han Solo for unexplained debts. They eventually issued eight requests for payment, and Han ignored them all until Spray showed up to repossess his ship. The debt was later repaid by Spray, who was actually Odumin, and who had used Solo to reach the Glayyd clan on Ammuud. (HSR)

Vindar
this was a race of six-limbed, insectile beings, distinguished by their stark white carapaces. The Vindar subjugated the race they called the Squidge, and took out most of their aggression on the hapless beings. (T19)
