May 7, 2006 – Naga Sadow
Naga Sadow was a powerful Sith Lord during the first Sith Empire, who became the Dark Lord of the Sith after Marka Ragnos' death. He was a hybrid of the Sith race and humans and was often look down upon by his arch-rival, full-blooded Sith Ludo Kressh.

He was the mastermind that began the Great Hyperspace War in an attempt to expand the borders of the Sith Empire at the expense of the Old Republic. However, the war ultimately led to the destruction of the Sith Empire by the Republic and the Jedi.

May 14, 2006 – Quinlan Vos
Quinlan Vos was a Jedi Master in the waning years of the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order, and was also a General in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. He hailed from the planet Kiffu in the Inner Rim.

Vos had an ongoing struggle with the dark side of the Force, particularly after he sustained recurrent amnesia after overdosing on an illegal drug administered by an enemy shortly after the Battle of Naboo. The Sith Lords Darth Sidious and Darth Tyranus both showed an interest in him.

He was a prominent participant in the Clone Wars, one of the few survivors of the Great Jedi Purge and, along with his lover Khaleen Hentz, fathered a son named Korto Vos.

May 21, 2006 – Coruscant
Coruscant, also known as Coruscanta in Mando'a, Triple Zero in military slang, Imperial Center during the reign of the Galactic Empire, and Yuuzhan'tar after its conquest by the Yuuzhan Vong, was the political center of the Galaxy for millennia.

The actual planet-wide city of Coruscant was known as Galactic City, or Republic City under the Galactic Republic, Imperial City or (rarely) Coruscant City during the rule of the Galactic Empire and New Republic City under the New Republic.

A large number of the Galaxy's trade routes&mdash;including the Perlemian Trade Route, the Corellian Run, the Metellos Trade Route, the Koros Trunk Line, and the Leisure Corridor&mdash;went through Coruscant, making it one of the richest worlds in the Galaxy.

May 28, 2006 – Ta'a Chume
Ta'a Chume (Queen Mother in the Hapan language, real name unknown) was the former Queen Mother of the Hapes Consortium, mother of Isolder, and the grandmother of current Queen Mother Tenel Ka.

As a woman concerned only with her position, Ta'a Chume had no qualms about killing people to protect herself and/or the monarchy, including going so far as to arrange the assassinations of her first born son, her younger son's fiancée, and her daughter-in-law. Despite being placed under house arrest for the murder of the latter, she had arranged an assassination attempt on her newborn great-granddaughter Allana in 36 ABY. In retaliation, Jacen Solo used the Force to give her a brain hemorrhage that sent her into a coma.

June 4, 2006 – Jedi Civil War
The Jedi Civil War (also known as the Second Sith War and the War of the Star Forge) was a devastating conflict that began when the fallen Jedi Revan founded a new Sith Empire and declared himself Dark Lord of the Sith. He and his apprentice Darth Malak led a massive invasion of the Galactic Republic in 3,959 BBY with the aid of veterans from the Mandalorian Wars and a host of Jedi converts. Darth Revan nearly conquered the Republic before the Jedi struck him down. After the redemption of Revan, the death of Malak, and the destruction of the Star Forge in 3,956 BBY, the war finally came to an end, although the last of Revan's forces lasted until the Destruction of Malachor V.

June 11, 2006 – Vuffi Raa
Vuffi Raa was a specially designed and constructed droid, created to be the first of a new generation of sentient droids designed by an ancient group of giant spherical droids known as The Rest. His purpose for being created was to be dispatched into the Galaxy at large, to find out more about the various civilizations of the Galaxy for his 'parental' droids.

One of Vuffi Raa's early encounters was with the shape-shifting Croke sorcerer Rokur Gepta, and he was reprogrammed. Once the reprogramming was complete, Gepta gave him to an agent, Osuno Whett, to utilize in the field. He served Whett until an operation that had him labeled as a 'butcher' and he was hidden on a desolate planet. It was here that he encountered Lando Calrissian, who had won him in a game of sabacc, and after serving out a program to betray Lando, began his new life as a vagrant wanderer and partner to Calrissian.

Vuffi Raa was programmed by his creators to be completely non-violent, and even piloting a starship in battle stressed him. However, he eventually became one of the few droids to overcome his own programming, and became able to attack in defense of himself and his friends.
