A.J.
this woman trained under the Jedi Master Kirlocca, at the Almas Academy, many years before the Battle of Yavin. She was noted for her desire to fight with two lightsabers, instead of one, a trait which worried the Masters of the Academy. However, A.J.'s trials produced sufficient evidence of the purity of her heart to alleviate any fears of her fighting style eminating from the Dark Side of the Force. (WOTC)

A/KT
this was the abbreviated name used to describe the Ayelixe/Krongbing Textiles corporation, which produced a variety of full-body clothing that provided the wearer with protection in a number of environments. The most popular of A/KT's outfits was the Tuff1 combat jumpsuit. (DTO, ROE)

A-1 Deluxe
an old model "floater" produced by Mobquet Swoops and Speeders, this landspeeder was produced just prior to the onset of the Clone Wars. It was not the fastest, sleekest, or most desirable speeder on the market, and was initially panned by critics. It was, however, extremely reliable and inexpensive. The body was 7.1 meters in length, but was thin and cylindrical, allowing it to accommodate just a pilot and a single passenger. The configuration of the speeder meant that the pilot and passenger had to sit one behind the other. An option on the A-1 was Corellian leather seating. One of the primary drawbacks to the A-1 Deluxe was the lack of cooling capacity for its drive systems. The A-1 Deluxe had a two-meter flight ceiling, and could attain speeds of 160 kilometers per hour. (TM, GG7, CCG2, HNN4)

A-17
this was the designation of the clone trooper who, along with Anakin Skywalker, survived a Separatist attack on the moon of Ohma-D'un, during the height of the Clone Wars. Anakin chose to call the trooper Alpha, since he seemed to be much more than a simple clone. (RNFW, RBJ, RHF)

A-1707
this was the callsign of one of the multitude of clone troopers who fought for the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, serving under the command of Jedi Master Shaak Ti. A-1707's gunship was forced to crash-land on a remote jungle world about a year after the Battle of Geonosis, and A-1707 was the only member of his squad to survive the next two decades. His presence on the jungle world was discovered by Commander Narra and Luke Skywalker, during the search for a new Alliance base in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. The Alliance forces scouting the planet had been tracked by Imperial forces, and ambushed once they were on the ground. A-1707 had also been tracking the Alliance team, and was unsure how to proceeed when he saw Imperial stormtroopers chasing them through the jungle. Narra, in order to gain A-1707's confidence, explained the state of the galaxy since the Clone Wars, and indicated that Luke was a Jedi Knight as well as a "General" in the military. A-1707's ingrained training kicked in, and he agreed to support Narra's forces. A-1707 - who preferred to simply be called Able - assisted the Alliance forces in defeating the Imperials, and was helped off the planet by Skywalker during the Alliance's retreat. Able agreed to join the Alliance's Intelligence agency, and was later part of the assault team that infiltrated the Imperial labor colony on Kalist VI, about eight months after the Battle of Yavin. (SWEGS, SWEWW)

A280
one of the best armor-piercing blasters produced during the Galactic Civil War, the Blas-Tech A280 rifle was reputed to be able to cut a fully-armored stormtrooper in half. Several of these rifles were stolen by Janse and brought to the Alliance shortly before the Battle of Endor. This weapon, along with predecessor, the DLT-20A, were marketed as Longblasters. The A280 was different from the DLT-20A in that its galven circuits were clustered near the focusing crystal, giving the weapon a slight bulge at the midseciton. This also provided the A280 with more power over a longer range. (RASB, TLC, CCG10, AEG)

A280-K
this was a follow-on to the BlasTech A280 heavy blaster rifle, used by New Republic forces in the decade following the Battle of Endor. (DARK)

A-9 Vigilance Interceptor
a fast, highly maneuverable starfighter built by Kuat Drive Yards, the A-9 was pulled out of the design archives in order to help fill the gap left by the loss of so many TIE Fighters during the Galactic Civil War. However, when the Alliance defeated the Empire at the Battle of Endor, many of KDY's factory worlds were the sites of rebellion and revolt. One such world was the prime manufacturing site of the A-9. When all was said and done, the A-9 found its way to the New Republic's arsenal instead of the Imperial fleet. The craft is 7.4 meters in length, and is armed with a pair of heavy turbolaser cannons. Like the TIE Fighter, the A-9 has no hyperdrive, although it is capable of speeds approaching 1,300 kph. (DE1, DESB)

A99 Aquata Breather
this small, thin device is often found in survival kits and utility belts. The A99 breather, when inserted into the user's mouth, extracts oxygen from the surrounding water, allowing the user to swim underwater and "breath" through their mouth. The A99 Aquata breather resembles a small, curved mouthpiece. (SW1)

A9G Archive Droid
developed by Industrial Automaton, this humanoid droid was designed to archive and collate large amounts of data. The primary operation of the A9G-series was as a librarian or library administrator. Unfortunately, the software which controlled these droids was flawed, and many universities and major libraries overwhelmed them. The A9G series was scrapped, and the Alliance acquired several of them on the auction blocks. With a bit of reprogramming, the A9G units were modified to sift through large amounts of military information and retrieve specific documents for military leaders. (TBSB)

Several years earlier, he suddenly appeared at the border of Chiss space, asking for asylum. Distinguished by thin mouth, deep-set eyes, and prodigious nose, Aabe was a short-tempered man who had little patience. He was also determined to keep Csilla out of the New Republic, and found a number of supporters among the Chiss. In order to ensure that Csilla remained outside the Republic, Aabe arranged to have Soontir Fel's family captured and eliminated, a plan which would silence the loudest support for Csilla's joining the Republic. However, when his plans were revealed to those Chiss who served him, Aabe found himself acting alone. His self-centered goals didn't sit well with the Chiss, and he was forced to submit to Jacen Solo and Commander Irolia. He was tried and imprisoned for his treachery. (FH2)

Aach
this was a codename used by one of Bail Organa's agents during the last days of the Imperial Senate. He was used only when top-level business of the Alliance needed to be conducted. Thus, his presence always meant something important to the recipient of his message. Aach was dispatched to Anchoron to tell Garm Bel Iblis of the discovery of the plans to the first Death Star. Aach's arrival delayed the beginning of Bel Iblis' speech to the assembled group at the Treitamma Political Center, and probably saved the Senator's life. The Center exploded in a ball of flame, part of a plot to assassinate Bel Iblis's wife and force him to join the Alliance. (TFNR)

AAD-4
this hulking, humanoid assault droid was developed and manufactured by Arakyd Industries, during the last decades of the Old Republic.

Aargau
a planet of some importance to the Empire, Aargau was known throughout the galaxy for its banks. It was known to many beings as the Jewel of the Zug System. By the time of the Clone Wars, Aargau was under the control of the InterGalactic Banking Clan. Much of the planet's surface was dominated by a huge pyramid, which was divided into seven distinct and vast levels that had been built one atop the other for thousands of years. All visitors reported to the uppermost level, which was the smallest and easiest to secure. Access to the lower levels was granted on an as-needed basis to those citizens and visitors with the correct credentials. The seventh level, known as the Undercity, was a lawless area where any number of illegal and criminal activites could be found. In order to ensure that individuals remained on the correct levels, specialized lasers tinted the lighting of each level to a unique color. Sometime before the Battle of Yavin, Aargau was the site of a week-long conference between Baron Tagge and the Corporate Sector companies. The result of the meeting was the formation of the Corporate Sector Authority. Aargau remained neutral during the Galactic Civil War, although Princess Leia Organa and Darth Vader played an intricate game of politics there. After the Battle of Endor, Aargau fortified itself behind planetary shields and perimeter warships. Aargau was the third planet of the Zug System, and was orbited by a single moon. The average day on the planet lasted 24 standard hours, and its year encompassed 364 local days, giving Aargau a similar calendar to that of Coruscant. (CSA, DESB, MC48, BF3, PH)
